SB City Council agrees to reduce speed limit along Highway 101 BY KRISTINA HOUCK Solana Beach City Council members decided to slow things down in Solana Beach, voting unanimously at the Oct. 22 meeting to reduce the speed limit along Highway 101. The move to drop the speed limit from 45 mph to 35 mph and 40 mph is the result of a speed survey conducted in conformance with

the California Vehicle Code, which requires surveys every five years, or after significant changes to the city’s roads. Because the renovation of Highway 101 was completed after the last citywide survey was conducted in 2009, the city updated its traffic survey for that and other segments in Solana Beach. The speed limit is 45

BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District is dealing with a widespread substitute teacher shortage, trying to cover teachers being out of the classroom for professional development with a shallow sub pool they share with a consortium of local districts, including Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, Encinitas and Cardiff. DMUSD board members requested the issue be put on the agenda for their next meeting on Nov. 19. “Our teachers’ No. 1 priority is the kids. They want to be in the classroom,” said Jason Romero, assistant superintendent of human resources. When teachers are pulled out for professional development on the Common Core or Cognitively Guided Instruction, the training makes them that much more prepared to tackle the curriculum. “To cancel training or to send teachers back to the classroom because we don’t have enough substitutes is really not in the best interest of anybody,” Romero said. “We’re making sure our teachers get the highest quality training and that the highest quality of substitute is taking over the class.” Romero said the sub shortage problem is being experienced county- and statewide. Over the past five years, he said the number of people going into teaching has plummeted; the number of people signed up to take the California Basic Educational Skills See TEACHERS, page 26

mph along Highway 101. According to the survey conducted by Darnell & Associates, the road, median, striping and crosswalk improvements have reduced highway speeds. Therefore, the report recommended the city reduce the speed limit from 45 mph to 35 mph along Highway 101 from the city limit to Cliff Street, Cliff Street to Lomas

Santa Fe Drive, and Lomas Santa Fe Drive to Dahlia Drive. The speed limit will also be reduced from 45 mph to 40 mph from Dahlia Drive to Via de la Valle. The project “was very successful,” said City Manager David Ott. “You have not only lowered the speed limit in the core where the work was done, you actually

lowered the speed limit the whole length, which is great.” The survey also looked at Highway Drive between San Lucas and the northeast city boundary, as well as Stevens and Valley avenues between Via de la Valle and Nardo Avenue, and found that the posted speed limits See SPEED, page 30

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Del Mar will probably have its first roundabout within the next year, and some residents aren’t happy about it. Council members approved the design proposal and construction schedule for the installation of a roundabout at Jimmy Durante Boulevard and San Dieguito Drive during the Oct. 6 meeting. Although the traffic-calming device was added in May to a citywide sidewalk, street and drainage project, a number of people voiced concerns about the project during a public workshop Oct. 23. “It’s going to be a traffic nightmare,” said one resident. “Why would you spend all that money if it’s not goSee ROUNDABOUT, page 26

Traffic concerns near private school lead to confrontation BY JOE TASH A Carmel Valley woman’s concerns about traffic safety issues in the neighborhood near Cathedral Catholic High School led to a physical and verbal altercation between the woman and a female motorist. Trisha Klimisch, who lives down the street from the private high school, said she was out in the neighborhood after school on

Thursday, Oct. 23, handing out fliers with traffic safety guidelines, when the incident occurred. The school is located at 5555 Del Mar Heights Road. Klimisch said she pulled up behind a car that was parked in a “No Parking” zone on Old Carmel Valley Road next to the school, and honked her horn to get the driver’s attention. The female driver then got out

of her car and approached Klimisch, demanding that she get out of her car and fight, Klimisch said. Klimisch rolled down her window and said she merely wanted to give the woman a traffic safety flier. At that point, Klimisch said, the woman reached in the car and grabbed Klimisch’s sunglasses, scratching the side of her face. See TRAFFIC, page 30

Community input encouraged on new sign marking eastside entrance to Solana Beach BY KRISTINA HOUCK Drivers, cyclists and walkers could soon be greeted by a new sign when entering Solana Beach from Rancho Santa Fe. Solana Beach residents are encouraged to give feedback on a proposed permanent artistic city entry sign for a median on the community’s east side at Lomas Santa Fe and Highland Drive. After the 45-day comment period, the item will go to the council, explained City Manager David Ott during the Oct. 23 meeting of the Solana Eastside Community Group at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club. The proposed sign is curved and features the city’s name and logo. For questions or comments, contact Anita Edman at 858720-2454 or aedman@cosb. org. “If council gives a positive direction, we have the funds in the budget this fiscal year to complete that project,” Ott said. Ott also briefly updated attendees on the status of traffic-calming projects on the east side of the freeway. In an effort to reduce speeds and increase safety

CV board wants to clarify One Paseo position before council weighs in BY KAREN BILLING A firm date has yet to be set for One Paseo to come before the San Diego City Council, but it will likely be in January. At its Oct. 23 board meeting, the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board members approved sending Chair Frisco White to the council’s hearing to speak on the board’s behalf, as they feel their motion on the project was “misrepresented and misunderstood” by the planning commission. The board’s September motion to reject One Paseo included the note that they would support a reduced alternative. Rather than the proposed 1.5-million-square-foot project that includes 198,500 square feet of retail, 484,000 square feet of commercial office, and 608 multifamily residential units, the board said it would support a reduced version of 140,000 to 198,500 square feet of retail, 267,800 square feet of office and 304 residential units. White said because the motion left the retail square footage as high as the proposed project, the commission interpreted that as a blessing for that much retail. However, the intent of the motion was to find a workable solution where Carmel Valley would still get the community benefits should the project be approved.

Proposed city entry sign. Courtesy of Solana Beach for bicyclists and pedestrians, the city is restriping Santa Helena, which Ott said is 90 percent complete. “Even though it’s just paint, people will stay in the lines, generally,” said Ott, noting that a flashing crosswalk sign will also be added to the area. “And when you narrow those lanes, people slow down.” In addition, the city is constructing landscaped medians and bike lanes between Highland Drive and the southern city limit. Like the work on Santa Helena, the road updates are intended to calm traffic and enhance safety. Last, Ott mentioned that the city is working with Supervisor Dave Roberts to reconfigure parking, install a pedestrian gate and relandscape San Dieguito Park. See SIGN, page 30

Police warn CV community about new scam BY KAREN BILLING Officer Tracey Williams of the San Diego Police Department offered an update to the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board at its Oct. 23 meeting, introducing the new acting captain, Stephanie Rose, a 21-year veteran of the department, and alerting the community about a new scam targeting homeowners over the last few weeks. Williams said the scam involves suspects dressed in fake SDG&E workman’s vests trying to gain entry to homes. “If you have not called SDG&E or the cable company or any service, don’t let them in your house,” Williams advised. Williams also gave an update on the resolution of a crime series that occurred at the Torrey Hills Wells Fargo on Carmel Mountain Road. Three cases were reported in which a young man on a skateboard robbed elderly people after they had visited the ATM. Williams reported that the suspect is now in custody.

Size of planned senior housing facility on Via de La Valle reduced BY KAREN BILLING A new design approach has been given to the proposed upscale senior facility on Via de la Valle, Rancho Del Mar. The facility, proposed for the 23.88 acres next to the San Diego Polo Club that serves as a dirt parking lot, has been in the works for several years. The former management partner is no longer involved in the project; Milan Capital has taken over the planning process and is working with the community and the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board on the design. Milan had been a silent partner on the project. “We were not satisfied with the progress of the development,” Bret Bernard, Milan’s director of planning and development, told the planning board at its Oct. 23 meeting. He said they heard “loud and clear” that neighboring residents thought the development was too intense. They were asked to create a project that better matched the surrounding community — low intensity and larger estate homes that will preserve sight See HOUSING, page 30

Board OKs method to build Torrey Hills child care center BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District board Oct. 22 approved using a lease-leaseback method to construct the new Early Childhood Development Center at Torrey Hills School. Lease-leaseback is a method that school districts are opting to use — the district used the method to build the after-school child care facilities at Ocean Air School in 2010. Cathy Birks, the district’s assistant superintendent of business services, noted the project was completed in 57 days and under budget. Birks said with the lease-leaseback method, the district has more control of the project, giving it the flexibility to select a contractor not just by the lowest bidder, but on the ability to complete the project. The property is then leased to the construction firm in exchange for the facilities. The contractor has the opportunity to select subcontractors to bid on the project, and once the bids are awarded, a guaranteed maximum price is delivered to the district. This provides the district with the most qualified and competitive project team, Birks said. In plans approved at the Sept. 17 board meeting, nine classrooms and two portables at Torrey Hills will be reconfigured to house the ECDC, moving the facility from its current home at Sycamore Ridge. The plan also includes a new 30-space parking lot. Construction could begin after winter break in early 2015 and the project could be completed for students to occupy in fall of 2016. The project is now out for bid and the district will select a few construction firms to interview and bring their recommendation forward at the November board meeting.

Workshop yields ‘split decision’ on elements of Del Mar city hall BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although there was clear consensus on some project details, community members who attended a workshop Oct. 29 were split on whether Del Mar should construct a basic city hall or a multipurpose civic center. After discussing four concepts that could replace the deteriorating city hall at 1050 Camino del Mar, residents eliminated two options. “I was hoping we’d have a winner, but we have a split decision between a development with lots of elements and a simple alternative,” Councilman Don Mosier said. “But we eliminated two, so that’s progress.” Eight options were presented to the council in recent weeks, with council members selecting three concepts to share at the workshop. The city’s three alternatives all feature a 9,250-square-foot city hall, a 3,200-square-foot town hall, a 15,000-square-foot plaza and the required 51 parking spaces. The “basic” option, which has no commercial or residential uses, provides 109 additional parking stalls at an estimated cost of $12.4 million. The second option includes 3,400 square feet of commercial space and 71 surplus parking spaces for an estimated $13.5 million in development costs. An estimated $2.1 million in potential revenue from the commercial space cuts the net costs to $11.4 million. The final option also features 3,400

square feet of commercial space, but includes four single-family homes available for purchase and has 115 extra parking stalls. Developing the project would cost an estimated $17.1 million, but an estimated $6.4 million in potential revenue from the commercial space and residential land value reduces the cost to $10.7 million. Besides the three options from Keyser Marston Associates, a real estate advisory firm hired by the city, locals Jim Watkins and Kit Leeger presented a fourth concept they created at no cost to the city. The concept by the father-daughter duo proposes a smaller city hall and slightly larger town hall at 8,450 square feet and 3,788 square feet, respectively. The plan features a 25,000-square-foot plaza intended for the Del Mar Farmers Market and other social and cultural events. Estimated at $14.2 million in development costs, which is reduced to $9.5 million after potential revenue, their concept also includes much more commercial space at 9,250 square feet, six townhomes and 168 parking spaces, 140 of which are required. “We’re simply volunteers,” Watkins said. “We have nothing to gain except the satisfaction of seeing a brand- new city hall, which we need, and a civic center we could all be proud of.” After hearing the presentations, workshop attendees discussed the pros and cons of each concept at six tables in the Del Mar Communications Center, the television stuSee HALL, page 24

Aging wooden bridges over Los Penasquitos Lagoon to be replaced BY KAREN BILLING The San Diego Association of Governments will soon begin work on replacing four aging bridges over the Los Penasquitos Lagoon. The $31 million project will replace the timber trestle railway bridges with modern concrete to meet the demands of the Los Angeles-San Diego-San Luis Obispo rail corridor, the second busiest intercity passenger rail line in The $31 million project will replace the timber trestle the United States. rail bridges with concrete. Courtesy photo The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board heard an update on the construction, which is expected to begin in December, at the Oct. 23 meeting. Many of the facilities in the corridor are more than 125 years old, and according to senior engineer Sharon Humphreys, the four bridges were built in the 1920s and ’30s. The northernmost of the four bridges is next to the Torrey Pines Preserve, two are accessible only by rail and the southernmost is at the end of Carmel Mountain Road. While board member Jonathan Tedesco remarked it’s a shame to have to lose the charm of the wooden bridges, Humphreys said aesthetic treatment will be given to the northernmost bridge, including stampings of reeds and an egret bird in the concrete of the bridge’s endcaps. Stained concrete will also match the color of the sand of Torrey Pines State Beach. The smaller footprint of the new bridges, achieved by grouping the piles underneath the bridge, will improve water tidal flow and lagoon flushing, which will lead to a healthier lagoon, Humphreys said. While SANDAG is in the process of double-tracking the rail corridor, Humphreys said that the bridges over the lagoon would never be double-tracked because of the sensitivity and beauty of the environment. Funding for the project will be provided by North County Transit District, Federal Transit Administration and a $14 million grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery (TIGER) program.

Torrey Hills residents hoping new bike lane will unclog street BY KAREN BILLING A group of Torrey Hills residents is looking to get a bike lane installed on West Ocean Air Drive, as they feel the street has become unsafe for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers alike without one. In June, a petition was signed by 35 neighbors and presented to the Torrey Hills Community Planning Board. By the board’s Oct. 21 meeting, 110 residents had signed on to inform the board and the city that it’s a problem they would like to see resolved. The planning board plans to vote on the bike lane at a future meeting. In the interest of safety, residents are requesting that the bike lane on West Ocean Air Drive be extended from Via Mar de Delfinas to Via Congrejo. That stretch is the only two-block section of West Ocean Air without a bike lane, and it is frequently clogged with parked cars, which neighbors feel is dangerous for pedestrians and cyclists. As Torrey Hills Community Planning Board Chairwoman Kathryn Burton explained, West Ocean Air Drive becomes very narrow at that point. The road curves, and when there is bumper-to-bumper parking on both sides of the street, that creates a situation where there is basically just one lane down the middle. The problem first came to the board at the May meeting. Community representatives returned to the June meeting to voice their concerns. In June, the planning board opted not

to support a proposal for the bike lane extension, as Burton said the people who presented the project “antagonized” board members, and members felt there wasn’t enough information to vote. A motion was made but never seconded, and Burton said she’s never seen the board so negative on an issue. The residents who presented on Oct. 21 were a different group, who Burton said were much more accessible to board members. They also had the benefit of city staff present for their clarification questions. “It works out better to have more community input,” Burton said. Part of what the board has struggled with is that the bike lane will be only a Band-Aid on a larger problem of overflow parking. The source of that problem is believed to be the Torrey Villas apartment complex, operated by Irvine Company Apartment Communities. Neighbors say that there aren’t enough allowed spaces per unit, which forces them to park on public streets. “Torrey Villas has been repeatedly contacted by the board and the community,” Burton said. “The bottom line is that the Irvine Company is disrespecting the community. They have open spots, and they are sending people into the neighborhood to clog our streets.” Mike Lyster, vice president of corporate communications for The Irvine Company, said that per the city’s direction, the comSee LANE, page 30

‘Art of Racing’ author Stein brings light to University Club luncheon BY LOIS ALTER MARK “There’s a rule by, like, the Author’s Guild of the Universe,” said Garth Stein during a recent luncheon hosted by The Downtown Breakfast Rotary Club of San Diego and Warwick’s. “One dog book per author.” Stein was in town to talk about the follow-up to his beloved best-seller, “The Art of Racing in the Rain,” whose canine narrator, Enzo, has touched millions of readers during the book’s whopping 158 weeks on The New York Times Best Seller list. If you’re a dog person at all, you’ve most likely read, cried through and quoted the book — and bought copies to share with everyone you know. His new novel, “A Sudden Light,” is already receiving rave reviews, despite the fact that it never once mentions a dog. “I’m going to talk about my new book,” Stein assured the crowd, “but everyone loves ‘The Art of Racing in the Rain,’ so I’ll tell you how that came about. In fact, there’s now a children’s book, ‘Enzo Races in the Rain!’ The illustrations are so cute.” Stein wrote “The Art of Racing in the Rain” in four months. He got the idea from a film called “State of Dogs.” “There’s a belief among nomadic Mongolians that the next incarnation for their dog will be as a person,” he explained. “I thought that was so cool, but I had no idea what to do with it.” Then he heard former Poet Laureate Billy Collins read “The Revenant.” The first line of the poem is, “I am the dog you put to sleep, as you like to call the needle of oblivion, come back to tell you this simple thing: I never liked you — not one bit.” As the audience burst into laughter, Stein continued, “A light bulb went on. I thought, ‘That’s my dog!’ The idea of a dog coming back as a man only works if the dog tells the story and he has a chip. He has to be kind of angry and smart. As I wrote it, though, Enzo changed and became less bitter.” Although it’s hard to believe now, no agent would touch “The Art of Racing in the Rain.” When Stein finally found one who championed it, he kept the voice mail in which the agent cried and practically begged to represent the book, for months.

L-R: Julie Slavinsky, Garth Stein, Nancy Vaughan Because of the book’s phenomenal success, Stein had no problem getting “A Sudden Light” published, leaving the drama to the story itself. The book revolves around the Riddells, dysfunctional heirs to a once-great timber fortune, who are haunted by secrets from the past — and maybe even a ghost or two. “It’s my interpretation of a ghost story, but it’s more spiritual than scary,” said Stein. “Really, the story is about fathers and sons. It’s about how this primal relationship ripples through a family over generations. It’s about decisions that were made in the 1800s that still affect one particular family, and also decisions that were made on a larger scale and still ripple. It’s epic yet personal.” The story is set amid the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest and is based on a wealthy Seattle enclave near where Stein grew up. The book is so rich, it whets readers’ appetites to learn more about the fascinating history of that time and place — which they can do at ASuddenLight.com, a gorgeous website that’s a great companion to the book. It features an artist’s rendition of The North Estate, the site of the Riddells’ crumbling mansion, and readers can hover over the different buildings to get more information about subjects like the timber industry, railroads, paranormal, spiritualism, transcendentalism.

“I’m reading the book now and am loving it,” called out one member of the audience. “I can’t wait to see what happens.” Apparently, she’s not the only one. After Stein’s talk, guests lined up to get their own copies signed and to chat with him. “Garth was delightful,” said Nancy Vaughan, president of the Downtown Breakfast Rotary Club of San Diego. “He’s intelligent, humorous and engaging, and everyone in the room was entertained. Getting him as our guest author was a coup, and it will be very hard for someone to compete with him.” Julie Slavinsky, Warwick’s director of Events and Community Relations, agrees. “He truly is a delight. It was wonderful bringing him to the downtown area, and we are looking forward to hosting more author luncheons with the Downtown Breakfast Rotary Club of San Diego in the future.”

Author Riley uses debut novel to highlight battered women BY ANTOINETTE KURITZ AND JARED KURITZ Authors write for so many reasons. Sometimes it is to share knowledge; sometimes it is because there is a story they just have to tell. And sometimes, as with Laura Riley, Ph.D., there is something more. As a psychologist, lecturer, and teacher, Riley has spent more than three decades helping battered women to become achieving women. Having studied the status of women in 89 countries, she’s met survivors of violence everywhere and believes that abuse will only end when women unite against it. Thus, it stands to reason that this is the driving theme of her debut novel, “Tell Me of Brave Women.” Riley, a local resident, recently shared some of her thoughts on writing. She will speak on writing and on women’s issues at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 6, at the Barnes & Noble in Grossmont. • As a psychologist, you have been helping battered women become achieving women for more than three decades. What is the common thread among these women that allows them to become abused? Low self-esteem, and the belief that women are defined by the men who love them. • What is the common thread among the survivors? The realization that they have the right to validation and equality with men and that they can survive and prosper without a painful relationship. And believe it or not, this is not always an easy realization to come to. • How has the women’s movement informed the treatment of battered women? And what more do women themselves need to do? The women’s movement has taken abuse out of the closet and given abusers a voice. It has spurred awareness in law enforcement and hospitals, training first responders to treat abused women with respect. Abusers isolate their victims, move frequently, keep them from having women friends. Luckily, the women’s movement has used the media to open women’s horizons. A beaten woman may see a group of women on TV discussing a situation just like hers and hear their refusal to stay in their subservient, degrading relationships. She can get practical advice about shelters, social services for abused women and children, and protection from her abuser. The women’s movement has, in short, let her know that she is nei-

ther alone nor to blame for her circumstance and provided her with pathways to escape. Her growth is when she decides she is worthy of happiness and respect and that her children are harmed by watching her degradation and she demands change, or counseling, or she leaves. • As a writer, rather than non-fiction case studies, you chose fiction as your genre. Why? Because in fiction, abused women can confront abuse in larger-than-life ways. It is like a song played by a full orchestra rather than a piccolo — it’s more memorable. • The women in your novel, “Tell Me of Brave Women,” come from three different countries and cultures. Why did you choose the locals and cultures you did? The abuse of women is a global problem, so I wanted that to be clear and not point a finger at repressive states because that makes it someone else’s problem. Abuse is next door to all of us. I chose cultures of different religions and attitudes toward women to emphasize the general demeaning of women around the world. • Your characters’ stories converge. What point do you make with this convergence? That a woman standing against abuse in her neighborhood is joining hands with women around the world who fight abuse and seek justice. When this chain of change is complete, the oppression of women will end. • What do you hope women take away from your book? That women don’t have to tolerate abuse. They can fight back and change things. We live in the season of change. There is hope when women support each other. • What is the best advice you ever received as a writer? Keep writing and when you’re not writing – read. • What advice do you give to aspiring authors?

Be a sponge to the world. Absorb everything without straining out the painful or disgusting parts. Keep an open mind and an open heart. Ask for, and take, feedback about your writing from people you admire. • What is the most poignant advice you have for today’s young women? Your great-grandmothers, grandmothers, and mothers have passed you a banner dipped in their blood. Hold it high and move forward for your daughters.

Tragedy joins DM residents, spurs film project about hope BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although filmmaker Sue Vicory and actress Sariann Monaco both live locally, the pair came together for their latest project to help the family of a murder victim on the other side of the country. Inspired by the story of 12-year-old murder victim Autumn Pasquale, “Absent” follows a grieving mother taking the first step toward healing and readjustment. Written by Monaco and directed by Vicory, the 14-minute film is about loss and hope. “We feel like we’ve tapped into a universal emotion,” said Vicory, who has lived in Del Mar for three years. “In 14 minutes, we were able to translate that in a way that I think will be inspirational. That was our goal.” Monaco learned about Autumn’s murder from her New Jersey-based friend Debbie Savigliano.

After the death of her niece Bianca, Savigliano founded a charity called Bianca’s Kids in 2010 to grant the wishes of foster and needy children in New Jersey and across America. In June, Savigliano appeared on an episode of Lifetime’s “Killer Kids” television series, and Monaco tuned in “not knowing what it was about.” The episode covered the murder of the New Jersey girl. Savigliano helped form the initial search party for Autumn, who disappeared Oct. 20, 2012. After a twoday search, police found her body in a recycling container. It was later determined that she had been strangled by 15-year-old Justin Robinson, an acquaintance who lured her to his home in order to steal her bicycle. “Watching my friend on TV talking about this, it really hit me,” said Monaco,

who has lived in Del Mar Heights for nearly three years. “She was crying, the father of Autumn was crying, and I’m crying in the middle of the living room with my family. It haunted me the whole night.” Robinson, now 17, pleaded guilty to aggravated manslaughter in 2013 and was sentenced to 17 years in prison. Since his sentencing, Anthony Pasquale, Autumn’s father, has been working to get Autumn’s Law passed in New Jersey — a measure that would hold abusive or neglectful parents responsible for the violent actions of their children. Unable to sleep after watching the episode, Monaco began drafting what would become an early version of a script inspired by Autumn’s murder. “I thought if helping them get signatures on this petition helps the gaping hole in their hearts, I wanted to do something,” Monaco said. So, in the middle of the night, Monaco sent her rough notes to Vicory, who ultimately decided to make a film. “It really was an idea in the middle of the night, and three months later, it’s in the can,” Monaco said. “It went from script to screen in 120 days, which means that it was meant to have a life,” added Vicory, who shot the film in September. “All the openings and the quickness of it was just a huge blessing to the story.” Besides writing the script, Monaco stars in the film as Joyce, the mother of Mia, a role portrayed by 11-year-old San Diego actress Caylee Hornaday. The film features a total of 20 actors — with all but two from San Diego — and showcases six original songs.

Sue Vicory and Sariann Monaco Photo by Kristina Houck “In the film, we show that fellowship and having the community around you really lifts you up,” Monaco said. “And the community rallied around us to help lift up this project.” After deciding to begin the filmmaking, the duo launched a Facebook page for the project and people requested to help. “Almost overnight, we were surrounded by the love of the community,” Vicory said. Shot entirely in the Del Mar area, the pair filmed at their homes, St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, Del Mar Highlands Dentistry, and Snooze, an AM Eatery at the Del Mar Highlands Town Center. They raised donations through Vicory’s Heartland Films, a nonprofit production company established in 2003 to produce films that

educate, raise awareness and inspire audiences. “We raised a lot of money in a short period of time,” said Vicory, who wouldn’t disclose the amount of funds raised, but noted at least two dozen people contributed to the project. One of the funders, a close friend of Autumn’s family, donated money for the opportunity to name the dog featured in the film. Vicory’s 10-year-old golden retriever, Kacy, makes her acting debut in “Absent” as “Autumn.” Since completing the film, Vicory and Monaco have submitted “Absent” to the Slamdance Film Festival. The film was recently selected to be screened during San Diego’s Film Consortium Fall Film Festival next year. After they finish entering the film into festivals and

pay those involved with the project, they plan to donate any remaining funds to children’s charities. Vicory and Monaco first learned about each other after reading articles about their respective careers in the Del Mar Times. After meeting, the pair developed a close friendship. Monaco also co-produced and narrated Vicory’s previous project, “One,” a documentary that explores global humanity and our individual significance and impact within it. Because the pair work so well together, Vicory was quick to collaborate on the project after Monaco shared her idea. “I opened up an opportunity for Sariann’s vision and dream to have life, and we didn’t stumble at all,” Vicory said. “It takes a tremendous amount of work, but we work really well together.” For information about Autumn’s Law, or to sign the petition, visit change.org/ petitions/autumn-s-lawhold-abusive-neglectful-parents-accountable. “We hope the film touches those who have lost a child,” Vicory said. “The film really is for anyone who has experienced hardship in their life,” added Monaco. “We hope it makes a difference in the lives of Autumn’s family and other families.” For more about the film, visit facebook.com/absentthefilm.

Female veteran details WWII service, AAUW presents program on mentoring Nov. 8 era in ‘What Would Your Father Say?’ BY KRISTINA HOUCK Growing up on a farm in Indiana, one of Winona Ruth Gunther’s fondest memories is discussing world events with her father. Although he died just before the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, his patriotism is what inspired Gunther and three of her 12 siblings to later join the military. “My father loved his country and he instilled that in his children,” said Solana Beach’s Gunther, who offers a personal look of what it was like for women to serve during World War II in “What Would Your Father Say?” The recently published book follows Gunther’s life from before the U.S. entered the war to after the war ended. “There are a lot of things I bring out in the book that I had forgotten about,” said Gunther, who has lived in Solana Beach since 1962. “It was a lot of research. I went through my old photos and letters.” Although Gunther grew up during the Great Depression, she had dreams of becoming a doctor. She attended Oklahoma State University, then known as Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical College, for one year. “It was so hard for women to get jobs,” she recalled. “Jobs were reserved for the men. The only thing you could do as a woman was housework. So I had saved to go for that one year, eating very little.” With no money to continue her education, Gunther started working as an apprentice pharmacist at a drugstore, where she also managed the soda fountain. Although she said she made the best sodas around, Gunther wanted to contribute to the war effort. In 1943, she volunteered for the U.S. Navy WAVES (Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service), seeking to join the hospital corps. She was 23 years old. “With my one year of pre-med and pharmacy experience, I think that’s what got me in,” she said. Gunther went to boot camp at Hunter College in New York and corps school at Naval Medical Center San Diego — where she’s holding a book signing from 10 a.m. to noon Dec. 9. For the rest of the war, she was stationed at Corona Naval Hospital in Norco, where she cared for injured sailors and marines.

Winona Ruth Gunther Gunther’s two children, as well as her peers at the Daughters of the American Revolution’s San Diego chapter, urged her to write about her service in the military, an endeavor she started several years ago. Filled with joy and sorrow, laughter and romance, the book details a crucial time in history while addressing the mental and physical adjustments servicemen and women face. “It was difficult,” said Gunther about the writing process. “It brought many memories back. But I hope it inspires a love of country and duty.” “What Would Your Father Say?” is available on amazon.com.

The Del Mar-Leucadia Branch of the American Association of University Women will present “A Passion for Mentoring” at its Nov. 8 meeting from 10 a.m. to noon at the Encinitas Community Center, 1140 Oakcrest Park Drive, Encinitas.

Group helps Tijuanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needy through education â&#x20AC;˘ Fundraising reception set for Nov. 8 at UCSDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Faculty Club BY KRISTINA HOUCK One manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trash may be another manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s treasure, but for hundreds of people in Tijuana, one manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trash is a means of survival. An estimated 600 men and women support their families by picking through piles of trash for recyclables at the Tijuana municipal dump. They receive no salary, but can earn $100 to $200 a month selling what they find. Although families live within walking distance in homes of cardboard and metal sheets, for many years, there was no school at the garbage dump, or at any of the other private and municipal dumps in Mexico.

Since the early 1980s, San Ysidro-based Below: Responsibility founder David Responsibility has offered education pro- Lynch with students. Courtesy photos grams for children living in and around the dumps of Tijuana, Mexico. What started as a program for the children at the Tijuana municipal garbage dump has grown to programs for more than 6,000 students in both Mexico and Nicaragua. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have a fabulous program and we have phenomenal teachers,â&#x20AC;? said longtime Del Mar resident Marilyn K. Simon, who serves as president of the nonprofitâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids are enthusiastic because it means so much to them.â&#x20AC;? Having worked in education for more than 40 years, Simon was eager to help the organization after she learned about Responsibilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work from a former doctoral student. Before his passing in 2011, Jim Dillahunty had served on the board for 12 years and was responsible for getting Simon involved with an invitation to the organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual fundraiser. A Del Mar resident since 1976, Simon has served on the board for eight years â&#x20AC;&#x201D; four years as president â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and now extends an open invitation to all to join Responsibility for its annual reception Nov. 8 at UC San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Faculty Club. Funds raised during the event will support Responsibilityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Education, Mexico, children in need â&#x20AC;&#x201D; it pulled every heartstring I had,â&#x20AC;? said Simon, who also owns a home in Mexico. Special education teacher David Lynch formed Responsibility after joining a group of volunteers to teach one month in Tijuana in the summer of 1980. In 1985, he and a group of volunteers built the first schoolhouse and medical center next to the Tijuana municipal garbage dump. Since then, the organization has helped build 45 homes. Responsibility has also constructed health care facilities, computer centers and three schools, including a school in Nicaragua, which opened in 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As an educator, I know that education is the key to advancement,â&#x20AC;? Simon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Education is necessary to break the cycle of poverty. Regardless of your political views about immigration, it would do such good for humanity and both sides of the border if we could educate the poorest of the poor in society.â&#x20AC;? The reception begins at 5:30 p.m. and includes a silent auction, hors dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oeuvres and a no-host cocktail hour. Tickets cost $100 per person. VIP tickets cost $150.

Veterans helping veterans is goal of ‘dog whisperer’s’ Shelter to Soldier program BY DIANE Y. WELCH While Shelter to Soldier connects rescue dogs with veterans, its recent goals go beyond that. Through an academy for service dog trainers, the nonprofit will provide vocational job training for veterans (and civilians), with graduates being eligible for job placement within its organization. The goal will have “veterans training service dogs for veterans,” said founder Graham Bloem. The course, called the National Academy of Professional Dog Trainers, is accredited and is pending approval for G.I. Bill funding, “which we will push for until we get it,” said Bloem. It’s anticipated that the academy will open next spring, and online interest applications are now being taken. Bloem, a professional certified dog trainer, does not shy from meeting tough goals. He “jumped out” of the safety net of a regular paycheck as director of a local pet resort to follow his passion of dog training, he said. For years, Bloem volunteered his time and skills, honed over a decade ago at the Animal Behavior College, to focus on rescue dogs. He trained nine stray dogs from Iraq; two became the subjects of best-selling books. The therapeutic affection that these combat veterans had for their dogs sparked the idea that Bloem could put his dog-training skills to use to benefit servicemen with post-traumatic stress disorder. When the Department of Veteran Affairs cut funding in September 2012 for psychiatric service dogs, that “was the big eye-opener to start the nonprofit,” said Bloem. He has worked at the Helen Woodward Animal Center in Rancho Santa Fe, successfully rehabilitating dogs that were deemed unadoptable. He has been called a “dog whisperer.” Tracy Chu agrees. She

Courtesy photo and her husband, Tony D’Amico, have two rescue dogs, Cali and Dylan. “We didn’t realize the extent of Cali’s psychological challenges when we rescued her,” said Chu, who contacted Specialty Dog Training — Bloem’s for-profit service organization — to help Cali adjust. “Graham enrolled her in boot camp. After that, she had a better way of coping with the outside world. She was in a much better place.” Dylan also went through the program. When the family relocated to Rancho Santa Fe, Bloem was there to help everyone through the transition. “Graham is like a psychologist for dogs: He is able to speak to them in a different language,” said Chu. “He clearly has a special connection.” That connection comes naturally. Bloem spent part of his childhood in South Africa, where some family members were game rangers in Kruger National Park. “I was handling baby lion cubs at the age of 5 and doing night drives looking for green eyes in the bushes. It was part of my upbringing, and no matter what I was doing, there was always a dog beside me,” he said. Aware of the grim statistics that millions of pets are euthanized each year while on average there are 22 military-related suicides every day, Bloem felt compelled to address both. Because of Specialty Dog Training’s support, Shelter to Soldier uses 100 percent of all tax-deductible donations for its programs and services. Service dogs cost between $10,000 and $12,000. Meeting the Americans with Disabilities Act standards, training in socialization, behavior modification, obedience, and more takes a year. Dogs must pass a series of examinations and are housed, given medical care, fed a quality diet and certified locally and nationally. For veterans to qualify for a trained psychiatric service dog, medical documentation is required. Shelter to Soldier plans to increase the number of dogs it rescues and places, and to add a part-time social worker to act as communication liaison for veterans during the application and approval, said Bloem. The VA is doing research to prove the positive correlation between pet therapy and easing PTSD, said Bloem. But for now, the VA hospitals refer veterans to Shelter to Soldier because of its professional standards and many successes.

Nov. 8 convention aims to help those affected by diabetes connect for care BY DIANE Y. WELCH In this high-tech era of virtual learning there’s little reason to step beyond a computer screen to get facts about health-related topics. Everything you could possibly learn is a click away. But when it comes to changing behaviors and making a firm commitment to a healthier life, that takes action. “Online learning and social media connections are great extenders. They help people to stay connected,” according to Dr. Steven Edelman, founder of Taking Control Of Your Diabetes (TCOYD). “But there is nothing so powerful as being face-to-face with people.” To help diabetics connect in a tangible way, TCOYD organizes conferences and health fairs to educate them, along with their caregivers and health professionals. This year it is celebrating its 20th annual San Diego Diabetes Conference and also its 20th anniversary as an educational nonprofit. The conference, “Learn. Laugh. Live Better.” will be from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday,

The conference, “Learn. Laugh. Live Better.” will be from 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 8 at the San Diego Convention Center. Registration starts at 7:30 a.m. Nov. 8, at the San Diego Convention Center. Registration starts at 7:30 a.m. “We have a medical health program geared toward health care providers, and then we have a program geared toward people who have diabetes,” said Jennifer Braidwood, TCOYD manager in charge of outreach and continuing medical education. The conference has two tracks: Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. “People of either type get individualized education because they are very different,” explained Braidwood. The day is interactive with hands-on activities, lectures, workshops, exercise classes and sessions with professionals. “It’s a time for people to get educated, motivated and inspired to take care of their condition,” Braidwood said. Dr. Edelman was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes at age 15 and has dedicated his life to educating people who have the same disease. He didn’t get adequate care as a youth and

developed complications as a result. He realized that this was his mission, to educate diabetics so that they can be their own best advocates, said Braidwood. Diabetes is a 24/7 condition, and doctors are powerless to control it. “We can provide medications and information, but every person living with diabetes has to selfmanage, day after day,” Edelman said. About 28 million people in the U.S. have Type 2 diabetes. One in 3 will have Type 2 diabetes by 2050. Type 2 is primarily developed later in life, while Type 1, formerly known as juvenile diabetes, is generally developed much earlier in life. The numbers are staggering, said Braidwood. As such, TCOYD conferences are always well-attended. The company is based in Del Mar, and the annual San Diego conference is its flagship event, although the organization has held more than 150 similar conferences in many cities nationally during

the past two decades. Feedback from past conferences has been most favorable, said Braidwood. One participant told her, “I learned more in one day at TCOYD than I have over the last 10 years living with diabetes.” And another said, “I laughed, I cried, I learned, and now I’m inspired to take control of my diabetes.” People must register for the event online or by phone. The cost is $30 per person or $25 if two or more register together. Financial aid is available. “They can call us and tell us their situation, and more often than not, we can waive the entire registration,” said Braidwood. The fee includes a diabetes-friendly hotplated sit-down lunch with dessert and a snack. To register for TCOYD’s Nov. 8 conference “Learn. Laugh. Live Better.” visit tcoyd. org and click on conference schedule or call 800-99T-COYD (800-998-2693).

Celebrities, athletes team for golf event Nov. 12-13 to help kids cope with loss

DMCV Sharks selling evergreens The two-time U.S. Youth Soccer National Champion team Del Mar Carmel Valley Sharks Girls U18 Elite is making its third run at the U.S. Youth National Championships in Oklahoma in July 2015. Coach Felicia Kappes and her team will be playing games in North Carolina and Las Vegas to earn a spot. To finance the trips, the team is selling evergreens, wreaths, garlands and centerpieces. These beautiful greens will be available the first weekend of December, and can be sent across the country with the direct-ship option. The greens are shipped fresh-cut and stay fresh through the holidays. Your support is appreciated by the DMCV Sharks GU 18 Elite soccer team. Contact Wendy Montini at cawendy4@gmail.com for order and payment information. Nov. 7 is the last day to order.

The Moyer Foundation hosts its eighth annual Celebrity Golf Classic, to be held for the first time in San Diego, on Nov. 12-13 to help children affected by loss and family addiction, including those from military families. Major League Baseball All-Stars Jamie Moyer, Trevor Hoffman, David Wells, Mike Sweeney, Bret Saberhagen, Jermaine Dye, and many more will join golfers for a noon shotgun Nov. 13 on the South Course at Torrey Pines, with each registered foursome accompanied by a celebrity golfer for the round. Rock singer-songwriter David Cook, season seven winner of “American Idol,” will be playing for personal reasons. “Having gone through our own experience of losing a loved one,” said Cook, whose brother died in 2009 after a decade-long battle with brain cancer, “it’s important to me and my family that children who are hurting have access to vital support programs like The Moyer Foundation’s Camp Erin.” Atlantic Records recording artist Christina Perri will kick things off at a dinner gala and auction from 5:30-11 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 12, at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines. “When I was given the opportunity to be a part of this event, I accepted immediately,” said Perri. “I’m honored to support the important work of The Moyer Foundation.” Proceeds from the Celebrity Golf Classic will support The Moyer Foundation’s two signature programs. Camp Erin is for children and teens ages 6-17 who have experienced the death of someone close to them, and Camp Mariposa is a first-of-its-kind initiative for children 9-12 affected by addiction in their families. Both camps are free and combine traditional camp activities with expert counseling that helps children understand and express their feelings, and learn to cope with what they are going through. For more about the Celebrity Golf Classic or to register a foursome, visit www.moyerfoundation.org, or contact Wendy Belzer Litzke at wendy@moyerfoundation.org or 267-687-7724.

Don Diego Scholarship Foundation to offer $2,500 vocational-ed grants

TVIA helps with room makeovers (Above and below) On Sept. 20 and 27, high school boys from Teen Volunteers in Action, Chapter 2, volunteered to help with a room makeover for Cecilyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Closet, a San Diego nonprofit that provides special-needs children with a decorative room makeover. The goal is to create a happy place for them to grow and thrive. Teen Volunteers In Action is an organization of young men who, with their families, are committed to developing community leaders through a structured program of volunteerism, philanthropy, and personal development. For information, visit www. tvia.org.

ICONIC

AND

STYLE DESIGN

The Don Diego Scholarship Foundation is excited to announce the creation of an annual $2,500 scholarship earmarked specifically for graduating high school seniors planning to pursue a vocational education curriculum at a community college or accredited trade school with the goal of obtaining an AA/AS degree or certificate. Debuting in 2015, this â&#x20AC;&#x153;vocational edâ&#x20AC;? scholarship brings the number of annual scholarships offered to 13, for a total annual monetary award of $41,500. The 2015 scholarship cycle begins in January 2015. Applications will be due March 16, 2015. Finalist interviews will take place in April, with winning recipients announced in May. Board Chair Paul Ecke III states, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our new vocational ed scholarship expands Don Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s educational reach, broadens our response to real-life job needs and enhances our value to the San Diego community. With the annual tuition at many local community colleges ranging from $1,100 to Don Diego Chairman Paul $1,400 per year, this $2,500 scholarship can take a student a Ecke III long way toward achieving his or her career goal. We are proud to support a wide array of exceptional students and recognize that some students choose to pursue â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;skilled tradeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; careers from veterinarian techs to medical assistants to electrician and other jobs that are key to a healthy, diverse economy.â&#x20AC;? According to Ecke, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thanks to the generosity of Don Diego donors, the Board of Directors has been able to greatly increase its scholarship program over the past few years.â&#x20AC;? For several years, Don Diego provided one $5,000 scholarship to a student in each of four categories â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 4-H, FFA, Fair Employee and Fair Exhibitor/Participant â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for a total of $20,000. In 2013, the program increased by giving the most outstanding of the four recipients an additional $5,000 Spanjian Family Scholarship honoring founder Robert Spanjian, bringing the total to $25,000. In 2014, the program substantially expanded to providing one $5,000, $2,500 and $1,000 scholarship in each category, bringing the total to $39,000. Now in 2015, with the vocational ed scholarship, the total annual award has more than doubled: from $20,000 to $41,500. Ecke believes, â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a board ... of civic-minded community leaders, we feel it is important to invest in the future of these students and thus, in the future of our region. Our scholars, past and present, are building a better San Diego. We invite businesses and individuals to join us in supporting these students by supporting Don Diego.â&#x20AC;? Tax-deductible contributions can be made directly or via vehicles such as Don Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Legacy Brick program and Amigo Club membership, both of which make unique holiday gifts.

Cardinal Chaos turns up the volume of support at Torrey Pines games BY KAREN BILLING Torrey Pines High School senior Christian Gange takes his Associated Student Body title of Commissioner of Spirit very seriously. As the leader of the Cardinal Chaos student section at Torrey Pines, he conducts the Falcon faithful’s take on San Diego State’s The Show, students firing up their athletes with strong support and louder cheers. One of their signature moves is the rollercoaster, in which the students all have their hands up and mimic the roll of an amusement park ride. “We want to be loud and try to help the team out in every way,” said Christian, who, when not leading a raucous student section, plays football and baseball. For games against big rivals like La Costa Canyon, the section dons all black for a “Black Out.” For a football game against Carlsbad, it was a “Beach Out” where all students dressed for a day at the beach: lifeguard uniforms, leis and Hawaiian shirts galore. For the homecoming football game, they blinded the opposition with

a “Neon Out.” As huge as a presence they have under the Fridaynight lights, they also show up to support the girls volleyball team at Wednesday afternoon match-ups — standing full throat with chants and playful taunts, erupting with “oooohs” at every Savannah Rennie monster spike. “The student fan section at our matches are a crucial piece of our success this year,” said Brennan Dean, the head girls varsity volleyball coach. “Having a large group of consistent supporters keeps the energy in the gym at a high level. It makes our home game setting fun to play in.” Christian helped create the Chaos last year, with then-seniors Peter Holland and Jacob Neeley. Like the rest of the nation, they had taken notice of what SDSU was doing and wanted to create that same atmosphere at their high school level. The Chaos was officially born during the 2013 basketball season. “The first time we came out as the Chaos, the players said they were very excited,” Christian said. “They felt

like they were playing in college. It’s a fun experience for everybody.” Inside the Chaos there have been funny signs, masks, headdresses made of Falcon feathers, pom-poms and painted faces. They’ve rushed the court at the final buzzer for several fantastic finishes. The student section hit its peak last year at a rival basketball game against LCC. “I’ve never seen the gym so crowded at any Torrey Pines High School game,” Christian said. This year’s adoption of theme nights has added excitement, as students love to dress up, he said. It gets people out to the game who might not have cared about attending a football game before. On Friday nights, Christian is not a part of the Chaos, as he is busy serving as a running back/linebacker for the Falcons. Although not leading the flock on those nights, he approves of the Chaos he sees in the stands. “They do a good job,” he said.

The Cardinal Chaos student section brings excitement to Torrey Pines games.

Team Red White and Blue run/walk in OB to support veterans

Dr. Curtis Chan is holding his sixth annual Great Halloween Candy Buy Back Nov. 6.

Great Halloween Candy Buy Back to benefit troops is Nov. 6 at Dr. Curtis Chan’s office in Del Mar Dr. Curtis Chan is holding his sixth annual Great Halloween Candy Buy Back. The Buy Back helps local children unload the Halloween candy they don’t need for a good cause. The candy is donated to troops overseas and children collect $1 per pound (up to 5 pounds). Last year’s drive collected 3,542 pounds of candy, 271 Beanie Babies and 1,127 cards and letters for the troops. This year’s Buy Back will be held from 3-7 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 6, at Chan’s dental office, 12835 Pointe Del Mar Way, No. 3 in Del Mar. Children must be present and must have or make a card for the troops in order to receive their cash. Each child will leave with a free toothbrush kit. Come and personally thank a few military heroes who will be present for the event. Also, anyone can donate leftover candy to receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win an iPad mini, a professional teeth whitening and other great prizes. Candy donations will be accepted all week after Halloween. Call 858-481-9090 or visit www.CurtisChanDDS.com.

The inaugural Team Red White and Blue 5K and 10K Race and Heroes Walk will be held Saturday, Nov. 8, at Ocean Beach’s Robb Field. Proceeds from the race support Team RWB’s mission to help American veterans integrate back into their communities through positive social and physical activities. Participants in the 5K/10K race or the one-mile Heroes Walk will receive a commemorative challenge coin and performance T-shirt. Participants can also show their race bib at the USS Midway Museum and receive one free adult admission until Nov. 30. A post-race party will feature music, drinks and snacks at the park. Team Red White and Blue is recognized as a leading veteran nonprofit, helping to serve the 1 million service members who will retire from the military over the next five years. Mike Irwin founded Team The organization has chapters around the country where RWB and is excited to veterans connect with each other and the community with bring the running event events like weekly running groups, hiking, yoga classes, func- to San Diego. tional fitness and volunteer opportunities. Mike Irwin, a major in the U.S. Army who now teaches psychology and leadership at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, founded Team RWB. Irwin said they are excited to be bringing the running event to San Diego, home to such a large military population. “I founded Team RWB because I saw a lot of Americans who wanted to do things with veterans who lived right in their community — and get to know them,” Irwin said. “Whether a person has served in the military or not, they can connect with veterans and support their re-integration into civilian society at races like the San Diego Veterans’ Day 5K/10K.” To register or learn more about the event, visit teamrwbrun.com.

Surfer Rob Machado’s fundraiser focusing on water this year BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although local surfer Rob Machado became famous for catching waves, his philanthropic contributions in recent years are now catching attention. For the third year, Machado is partnering with the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach for a benefit concert in support of the Rob Machado Foundation. The Nov. 11 show boasts an allstar lineup of bands, with headliners the Goo Goo Dolls, folk rock band Run River North, singer-songwriter Tim Curran and local talent Austin Burns. “It’s always a great night,” said Machado, who was born in Australia and grew up in Cardiff-by-theSea. “Everybody has a good time while raising money for a good cause.” Established a decade ago, the Rob Machado Foundation supports various environmental programs, with an emphasis on children’s educational initiatives. Concert proceeds will benefit the nonprofit’s programs such as Hydration Nation, which aims to give

fundraiser of the year. With funds raised last year, including funds from the sold-out 2013 concert, the foundation shattered waste diversion records at the 2014 Switchfoot Bro Am, which was held at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas. The foundation’s 87 volunteers recycled 892 pounds of waste — a 56 percent diversion rate. The foundation also installed new, more effective trash cans at Cardiff State Beach and recycling bins at local elementary and high schools, co-sponsored the Grow

One in 6 people worldwide has no access to clean water, according to the foundation, and other sources estimate that number could be as high as 1 in 9 people. In partnership with Hurley H2O, the foundation has installed water-bottle refill stations at high schools that pledge to eliminate single-use water bottles. Through the program, students at participating schools, including Canyon Crest Academy and San Dieguito Academy, have raised funds for water filtration systems for communities in Brazil and Nicaragua. “Most high schools nowadays sell single-use, plastic water bottles to students,” said Machado, who noted that the Hydration Nation program has kept more than 60,000 plastic water bottles out of landfills. “Kids don’t drink out of drinking fountains. It’s weird, because I didn’t grow up like that. When you were thirsty, you went to a drinking fountain.” The annual benefit concert is the foundation’s biggest

Dangerous behavior from both bicyclists and pedestrians DM residents getting the I applaud bicyclists/pedestrians for not polluting the environment with toxic fumes and noise, and for keeping fit. However, the behavior of many of them is unsafe, arrogant, vio- runaround on roundabout lates laws, and puts innocent people and property at risk, especially along coastal North County. I have observed the following dangerous behaviors by many bicyclists: not staying in the bike lanes (two to four abreast); not stopping at stop signs or blinking crosswalks; turning right at a stoplight, then curving around in front of stopped traffic to turn right onto the road they just turned from; not signaling turns; using electronic devices to talk/text while moving; etc. Bicyclists are supposed to follow the same rules as motorists. Dangerous behaviors by pedestrians include: mindlessly crossing roads/streets without looking for moving traffic, often while talking/texting on a device; frequently not using crosswalks; meandering mindlessly through parking lots while distracted; etc. It seems that electronics and a lack of consideration for others have replaced manners and safety. Parents/educators of my generation worked hard to teach our children safety and respect for moving traffic. These people are setting a horrible example for current and future generations. Cities (taxpayers) should not have to pay for extra traffic enforcement time for those violators. Linda Deftos Del Mar

Why no investigation of neighborhood assault? I’m a 68-year-old longtime resident of the Del Mar Heights area of San Diego’s North County, and on Monday evening, Oct. 6, I was walking on Minorca Cove. As I neared the end of the street, a large unleashed dog left its yard and came at me growling and trying to attack me. When I tried to kick it away, the dog’s owner — a 30- to 40-year-old male — came out of the house and started punching me, knocking me to the ground several times. Realizing that the man was much younger than I, after unsuccessfully trying to defend myself, I eventually gave up and started walking home several blocks away. When one of the neighbors came out of his house I asked him for help, since I didn’t have my cellphone, but he told me to leave. When I got home I reported the incident to the Northwest Division of the San Diego police and Animal Control. After waiting until about 9:30 p.m., I finally went upstairs. I learned the next day that the police did come at about 9:30, but I didn’t hear them knock. I again reported the incident early the next morning, and a police officer came to my home to make a police report. He told me that a detective would call me in the next day or two. When no one called that week I sent letters describing the incident to District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, First District Council Member Sherri Leightner, and the San Diego Chief of Police, with no response from any of these as of this date. I am shocked that there has been no investigation of this physical assault on a resident taking a walk, apparently because there were no witnesses. Should I conclude that an attack by a 30- to 40-year-old man on a 68-year-old man without provocation of any kind can be ignored by law enforcement as a minor incident? How many other incidents of physical violence in our neighborhoods go uninvestigated because they’re not worth the time? Shouldn’t I have the right to walk in my neighborhood without fearing attack by dogs and their owners? Robert Gilleskie Del Mar

DM council votes to take away right of appeal This week, the Del Mar City Council voted unanimously to take away a right Del Mar citizens have had since 1985, maybe longer — the right to appeal a decision made by a city official to the City Council for their review! Obviously, an appeal required that the official allegedly made an error! We all make mistakes! Why would this Council want to take away that long-standing right? The reason given by legal staff was that it brings the ordinance in compliance with another section of the chapter dealing with how the appeal is handled! What a weak reason! Instead of taking away the right to appeal, why not just change the section of the code dealing with how the appeal is handled? It surely couldn’t be to eliminate the only way to possibly correct decisions that contain a gross error, without having to go to court! That’s right — without having to go to court! So, there will probably be no future correction of erroneous decisions made “ministerially” in Del Mar! Who can afford to go to court for that? From now on, you can’t be sure decisions made by Del Mar officials are correct! Or legal! Ralph Peck Del Mar LETTERS POLICY: Topical letters to the editor are encouraged.

Is the city of Del Mar giving the residents the roundabout concerning the Sidewalk Improvement Project? A public workshop was held Oct 22, 2014, for the residents to express their concerns about the sidewalk improvement project. Many residents participated in what was billed as a public workshop but turned into a promotional opportunity for the city to refute and defend every concern raised by the residents. Of the 20 residents who expressed concerns, not one note was taken by any of the staff, from the city manager’s department, public works, or the planning department. The residents’ concerns are considered so insignificant that none was noted as penworthy. The goal of a public workshop is to obtain public input! Del Mar residents asked the city: Why is the roundabout being built? The city replied: to control and slow traffic into the city. Is there a problem with traffic at this intersection during non-fair event time? Will slowing traffic at this intersection slow cars from speeding up the hill (south) into the city of Del Mar? Will slowing traffic at this intersection slow cars from speeding up after the intersection heading north to the freeway? Why is this roundabout being built? It will not slow traffic after the intersection. The most important question to local residents: What will this roundabout do to traffic on Fairground event days? Will it make traffic worse, more congested, more Uturns during Fairground events? The most frightening question in today’s political arena is, why is a roundabout piggy- backed in the sidewalk improvement project? Is this a form of pork-barrel spending to benefit someone other than the local residents? Why is this roundabout being rushed — project to start Jan. 1, 2015? Annette Wiesel Del Mar

dio where council meetings are held. With more than 60 community members, city staff and council members packed into the council chambers, another dozen people formed a seventh group down the hall. After about a half hour of discussion, attendees placed green sticky dots on one of four display boards to vote for their preferred concept. Twenty-one people voted for the basic option, two people voted for the second option and no one voted for the third option from the city. The Leeger/ Watkins proposal received 26 votes. With no one voting for the option that included four for-sale homes, community members clearly indicated they do not want to sell city property. Attendees were divided, however, on whether the city hall and civic center should include commercial and residential space. The basic option is the only concept that will not trigger Measure B, a voter-

approved initiative that governs large downtown developments. Going through the Measure B process could add $1 million in costs and extend the project by 18 months or longer, prompting some to argue for the basic option, which would allow for further development in the future. Some attendees, however, rejected all four alternatives. Fifteen people voted for the basic option with the caveat that it feature fewer parking spaces. Former Mayor Dave Druker read a letter he submitted to the council and other community members Oct. 26, to which he noted about 30 people responded in favor of his comments. He argued the property should be developed with only a city hall, council chambers and television studio, and a place for the Del Mar Farmers Market. “We reject the concept of a mixed-use project because it is based upon visions that have little basis in the current reality of Del Mar,” said Druker, adding that residents now have access to Westfield UTC, FlowSee HALL, page 26

TEACHERS continued from page 1

Test teacher credential test in the state has dropped by 72 percent. With the passage of Prop 30 and the new Local Control Funding Formula, things changed and the new funding model allowed many schools the ability to reduce class sizes, which meant hiring more teachers. As a result, substitute teaching pools are extremely limited. Romero said they have been working on solutions for this challenging issue since last year. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve decided to tackle this problem before it becomes, as the county calls it, a substitute shortage epidemic,â&#x20AC;? he said. Last year, the district adjusted its compensation for substitutes from $90 to $100 a day. As the DMUSD

Druker added that the project should include only â&#x20AC;&#x153;adequate parkingâ&#x20AC;? for city hall functions, rather than â&#x20AC;&#x153;unneeded parking.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;We believe that we should develop our property â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the city hall site â&#x20AC;&#x201D; based upon what is needed, not what can be done,â&#x20AC;? said Druker, who also argued that the council should have created an advisory committee so citizens could guide the city hall planning process. In response to Drukerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s comments, Councilwoman Sherryl Parks maintained

is part of a consortium of districts that all draw from the same limited substitute pool, Romero said this year the districts have posted all of their professional development dates on a master calendar. This gives them the ability to re-schedule development dates if for example, Encinitas needs 35 teachers on the same day Del Mar needs 24. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We can shift our days to make sure theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not in conflict so the likelihood of being short (of) subs is diminished,â&#x20AC;? Romero said. DMUSD is also assigning subs to dates as early as possible and has created a separate substitute pool just for instructional aides for special education classrooms outside the consortium. Romero said they are continuing to interview substitute teachers to add to the pool and said they hope once they get another group that the city has actively engaged the community in the planning process. Del Mar initiated the city hall planning process in June 2013. Since then, Parks noted, the council has discussed the project at 19 council meetings, issued a citywide survey and held three public workshops. Rather than establish an advisory committee, the council opted to set aside time at council meetings for community input on the project. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To be told that we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t open it up for diverse statement from the community is, quite frankly, not true,â&#x20AC;? she said. Mayor Lee Haydu reminded attendees that the council would continue to hold open forums starting at 6:30 p.m. at council meetings, so the public could have the opportunity to share thoughts on the project. She and her fellow council members encouraged residents to stay in-

Gina Vargas, Del Mar California Teachers Association co-president, said at the Oct. 22 board meeting that the organization appreciates that the district is being proactive by taking steps â&#x20AC;&#x153;to continue the amazing professional development while still maintaining the integrity of our classrooms.â&#x20AC;? Vargas said there are still some â&#x20AC;&#x153;hiccups,â&#x20AC;? and the teachers association is concerned when they hear that classes are divided up, or Extended Studies Curriculum teachers are being pulled out to cover classrooms. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to support teachers and students â&#x20AC;Ś and we want to help solve the substitute shortage in a collaborative way,â&#x20AC;? Vargas said.

volved in the process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to really thank everybody for coming out,â&#x20AC;? Councilman Terry Sinnott said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is this kind of involvement that makes our community really special. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is an opportunity the city needs to take. This is an opportunity weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve missed in the past. We want to do the right thing for the community. It is definitely needed.â&#x20AC;? It was never the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plan to permanently remain in the former schoolhouse. In fact, city officials began planning for a new city hall shortly after purchasing the old St. James Academy property in 1975. Originally built in the 1920s and expanded in 1956, the two school buildings remain in much the same condition, with 40 percent of city hall unusable because of safety concerns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Well, 39 years later, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been occupying the

Project plans include the replacement of aging utility infrastructure located within Jimmy Durante Boulevard, including a wastewater pipeline and water main. Utility poles, however, will remain in place. In an effort to reduce speeds, the roundabout was added to the project. Because the intersection is busy with pedestrians and vehicles, City Engineer Tim Thiele said prior traffic studies have indicated a need for traffic calming. It is also located near the entrance of the River Path Del Mar trail, he noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Speeds are high and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not safe,â&#x20AC;? Thiele said. But some residents argued a roundabout would cause more congestion, especially during the San Diego County Fair and other special events at the fairgrounds. Del Mar resident Arnold Wiesel questioned why the roundabout was added to the project, which is near the Watermark property. More than a year ago, San Dieguito Land Partners LLC unveiled the design concept for Watermark Del Mar, a one- and two-story multiunit project for the 2.3-acre site. premises and it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really fit the needs of the city,â&#x20AC;? Deputy Mayor Al Corti said. In 1992, the public voted against a bond issue to build a new city hall. The city revisited the idea from 2003 through 2007, conducting feasibility studies and hosting a public workshop to assess mixeduse options. With prodding from

Wiesel wondered whether installing a roundabout is an incentive for the developers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Are you working in the city for the community, or is the planning department working with the builders to build this 50-unit project?â&#x20AC;? Wiesel questioned. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It just seems a little convoluted, and the timing is highly suspicious. I think the citizens need to come first.â&#x20AC;? City staff, however, contended that a roundabout is needed to improve pedestrian safety and slow traffic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Access is a huge issue, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not the only issue here,â&#x20AC;? said the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Director of Public Works Eric Minicilli to the sounds of traffic whizzing by in the background. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have cars going 40, 45, 50 mph right now.â&#x20AC;? The city successfully reduced speeds in the Beach Colony after restriping Camino del Mar between 9th and 11th streets to include on-street parking and adding a new sidewalk on the west side of Camino del Mar. Since the updates, a traffic survey of the area found that average speeds along Camino del Mar from San Dieguito Bridge to 27th Street and from 27th Street to Coast Boulevard decreased by 3 mph and 1 mph respectively. The speed limit along Jimmy Durante Boulevard near San Dieguito Drive is

some community members, Corti said, the council re-initiated the planning process about a year and a half ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I appreciate the input, but now that we have narrowed down the discussion, we need to keep the discussion going so we get a little more guidance before we go to the design phase,â&#x20AC;? Mosier said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The current city hall is

40 mph. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some sort of traffic calming is needed, and roundabouts are proven to help slow down traffic without increasing queuing like a traffic signal would do,â&#x20AC;? said Pete Ritchey, project manager for Nasland, a San Diego-based civil engineering, land planning and surveying firm. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A roundabout creates a nice, constant flow.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;In looking at the volumes that come through here on a daily basis and during special events, a stop sign would just queue up traffic,â&#x20AC;? Thiele added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Putting in a signal would help alleviate that, it could process more traffic, but albeit at a higher speed when you get a green light on Jimmy Durante Boulevard. The goals of this project are to calm down traffic and facilitate bike and ped movements. â&#x20AC;Ś It might not solve all the problems, but it will solve a number of the problems we have at this intersection.â&#x20AC;? Building the roundabout will cost about $1 million. Staff expects to finalize the design next month and issue a request for project bids in December. Construction is expected to be completed before Memorial Day, in time for the opening of the 2015 San Diego County Fair.

Local lacrosse players part of championship Brady’s Bunch The Brady’s Bunch girls lacrosse team won their firstever championship title at the Santa Barbara Showdown Lacrosse Tournament. The team featured three young ladies from Carmel Valley who played alongside teammates from Utah, Oregon, Washington and Nevada. Torrey Pines High School students Kelli McKinnon and Bailee Monjazeb were joined by Carmel Valley Middle School student Alex Walling in a dominating performance. Their team competed in U13 and U15 divisions and went undefeated in 10 games. Head coach Tom DeMaio said he was proud of this L-R: Kelli McKinnon (U15), Alex Walling (U13, U15), and group of girls: “The way they Bailee Monjazeb (U15) were part of the Brady’s Bunch played and came together as Lacrosse team that won the Santa Barbara Showdown a team to beat great competi- Lacrosse Tournament. tion was impressive, along with the fact this team of girls won the first-ever championship title for Brady’s Bunch Girls Lacrosse Team.” The girls came out winners on and off the field. Brady’s Bunch Lacrosse is an All-Star team made up of players from around the United States. As a unique club they geographically are unable to practice together, but come together and play in tournaments for the benefit of acute myelogenous leukemia. This team was established by Mike and Rachel Wein to provide awareness and support for their son’s battle with AML. Brady, who is 6 years old, was diagnosed with AML at the age of 3 months.

BY WALTER BAYS The Torrey Pines Falcons defeated the El Camino Wildcats in freshman football, 19-6, to bring their season record to 8-0. El Camino’s opening drive stalled on sacks by Matthew Goena and Shayne Grant. Torrey Pines, with a 27-yard run by Gaston Schenk and a 13-yard reception by Sully O’Brien, drove to the Wildcat 15 where they missed a field goal try. El Camino moved the ball well and decided to pass on 4th and 12 at the Falcon 37, where defender Jack Nelson stopped the receiver for no gain and a turnover on downs. But then the Wildcats sacked the quarterback and stripped the ball to set them up for the first score of the game. El Camino led 6-0 after the extra point was blocked. On Torrey Pines’ next possession, O’Brien ran a reverse 82 yards for a touchdown to tie; the extra Shayne Grant, who had an outpoint was blocked. The Wildcats attempted another standing defensive day, displays fourth-down conversion, and this time Spencer Falcon sportsmanship. Grant sacked the quarterback to take back the ball. The Falcons drove downfield with a pass to Zach Friedland and a 26-yard run by O’Brien before they were intercepted on the Wildcat 10-yard line. Going into the fourth quarter, the game was still tied 6-6. On third and 6, Falcon quarterback Chris Temby connected on a screen pass to Friedland, who got great blocks from Michael Perrone, Gunnar Braun, and others. Friedland broke free to ramble 54 yards for a touchdown. A two-point conversion try failed. El Camino fumbled the ensuing kickoff, which was recovered by Ryan Cesari for the Falcons, and two plays later, Friedland ran around right end for a 23-yard touchdown for the game’s final score, 19-6. A final Wildcat comeback attempt was thwarted with an interception by Shayne Grant. Torrey Pines plays next at Mount Carmel, whose record is 7-1, at 5 p.m. Oct. 30.

In other business, Mike Bardin, general manager of the Santa Fe Irrigation District, talked about water conservation and water recycling. Newly appointed Councilwoman Ginger Marshall and Sheriff’s Captain Theresa Adams-Hydar also briefly spoke during the meeting. The Oct. 23 meeting was the second general meeting of SECG, a new group that brings together homeowner associations and private residences east of Interstate 5. SECG formed out of the now defunct Solana Homeowners Association Group and held its first general meeting in April. Established in 1985 by 11 HOAs located east of I-5, SHAG had been relatively inactive for the past few years. During a special meet-

lines and blend into the area. To reduce the impact on the community, they plan to create a tree-lined frontage and entry with a two-story independent living facility, a one-story assisted living facility and a one-story memory care unit. Previous plans were denser, with 225 units spread out in casitas; the new plans call for just 125 units. The western part of the property would be left as open space, not to be developed. Neighbor Cory Hao said he appreciated that they

ing last October, the group met to discuss the organization’s future and formed an ad hoc committee to explore how to revitalize it. Over a five-month period, a 12-member committee met nine times to choose a new group name, revise the mission statement and organization charter, and nominate officers and directors. Representatives from SHAG met in March to officially dissolve the old group and transition into SECG. Committee members approved the new mission statement and charter, officers and directors. “Our mission is to work with the people and constituents on the east side of the freeway to identify issues of common interest and represent them to the overall city of Solana Beach,” said Solana Beach resident Roger Boyd, president of SECG. Headed by a nine-mem-

Hao said he also believes the project is subject to Proposition A, which states that any change for more-permissive uses on agriculturally zoned land needs to go to a vote of the people. Bernard said he doesn’t agree with that interpretation of Prop A, and that it is an allowed use in the area. In 2012, the San Diego Planning Commission weighed

ber board of directors, SECG covers 16 HOAs, five neighborhoods and five commercial entities. Most of the territory is within Solana Beach. Since the group’s founding, 11 of the 16 HOAs — two of which are in the city of San Diego — have joined SECG, representing about 5,000 people. In addition, six individuals living east of the freeway have also joined the group. Boyd noted that there are about 250 east-side residents who don’t belong to HOAs. Individual membership costs $1 per household per year. No businesses have joined the group. Although a date for the next SECG meeting is not set, Boyd said he and his fellow directors plan to hold at least two general meetings each year.

in and agreed with Bernard’s interpretation, that a continuing care facility is consistent with an “intermediate care facility,” an intensity of use that was allowed in the zone before 1984 and should be allowed without a vote, just a land development code amendment. At the time, the Carmel Valley planning board disagreed with that decision. Rancho Del Mar’s plans will continue to be reviewed by the planning board members as they progress, probably at one of the board’s upcoming regional issues subcommittee meetings.

“We are always evaluating the most efficient use of our onsite parking and are currently working on a new parking allocation plan that we believe will go a long way toward serving the needs of our residents.” While many at the Oct. 21 meeting spoke in favor of a bike lane, one opponent said that if the bike lane is installed, overflow parking would simply spill onto an-

other neighborhood street, adding that nobody really bikes there anyway. Burton said his comment drew a negative reaction from the crowd and she had to quiet them. Burton said the bike lane’s unintended consequence of shifting overflow parking to another part of the community is a definite concern for the board.

make it more bicycle/pedestrian-friendly and make it more business- friendly,” Councilman Mike Nichols said. “Another big goal was to reduce speeds. As a result of the project, we were able to reduce speeds 10 mph and achieved it with all these other goals. It’s a great thing.”

TRAFFIC continued from page 1

When Klimisch did get out of her car and attempt to write down the motorist’s license plate number, the woman snatched the paper away, got in her car and drove off, Klimisch said. Klimisch then went to the school, where she said officials called police and a school nurse attended to her scratches. Police have spoken to both Klimisch and the other driver, a parent who was picking her daughter up at school, said acting Capt. Stephanie Rose of the San Diego Police Department’s Northwestern Division office. “They both said the other was very animated during the incident,” and each woman said she felt threatened by the other, Rose said. However, because of the sunglasses being pulled from Klimisch’s face, police will submit the case to the City Attorney’s office for evaluation of a possible misdemeanor battery charge against the other driver, Rose said. Klimisch said she is willing to testify if charges are filed. “People are like wallflowers; no one wants to get involved,” she said. “I will go to court.” The fliers that Klimisch was handing out contained guidelines for student dropoff and pick-ups, which she said came from the school’s parent handbook. The guidelines state that Old Carmel Valley Road and Gamay Way are “off limits” for drop-off and pick-up. However, the driver who allegedly accosted Klimisch was parked on Old Carmel Valley Road, and Klimisch provided video of cars making U-turns on Gamay Way, which she said is a daily occurrence after parents pick up their children. The flier states, “Policies are created to maintain a safe neighborhood and cam-

Trisha Klimisch said she suffered these scratches when a woman reached in her car and grabbed Klimisch’s sunglasses, scratching the side of her face. pus in addition to maintaining good neighbor relations, so your cooperation is greatly appreciated.” School principal Michael Deely came out recently to observe the situation. But Klimisch, who has lived near the school for eight years, said little has been done to address the traffic safety problems. “I just don’t feel like they take any of this seriously.” Besides parking and stopping in unsafe locations, she said, parents and students from the school often speed and make unsafe turns, she said. “They are coming fast, hard and furious.” Anne Pickard, the school’s director of marketing, disagreed with Klimisch’s assessment. “Our top priority is the safety and well-being of students, parents, faculty and the community,” she said. After Klimisch recently wrote a letter to Deely about the traffic issues, she said, the school requested that police come and monitor traffic in the neighborhood next to the school. Officers determined that student and parent drivers were following the law, and not making illegal turns, speeding or parking illegally, Pickard said. The school encourages parents and students to drive courteously and safely in emails, social media and on its website, said Pickard, and it also offers special programs on safe driving habits. She said for the most part,

parents and students follow school guidelines. “We remind people to drive safely and be good neighbors,” she said. “We do everything we can to be proactive and get the message out.” Other neighbors, such as Victoria Shoushtari, a member of the Pacific Highlands Ranch HOA board of directors, share Klimisch’s traffic concerns. The traffic situation around the school each morning and afternoon, said Shoushtari, is “chaotic, unorganized, and dangerous. I want Cathedral Catholic to take responsibility.” Shoushtari said the next step will be to get neighbors to sign a petition, asking the school to address the traffic problems in the neighborhood. She said the school should either close the gate off Old Carmel Valley Road, so parents have to pick up and drop off their kids from Del Mar Heights, or post a crossing guard at Old Carmel Valley Road to enforce safety rules. Rose said the area along Old Carmel Valley Road is not clearly marked as a noparking zone, and that city traffic engineers will evaluate whether markings should be improved, or perhaps parking allowed along the street. But she cautioned against residents confronting motorists regarding parking or traffic problems, advising them to contact the police instead. “You don’t know who you’re confronting or what kind of day they’ve had,” she said. Klimisch said she feels threatened now, worried the woman will confront her again. The incident also triggered memories from when she was car-jacked at gunpoint when she lived in Boston. “This brought back a lot of awful, painful memories for me,” she said.

Glamour takes the lead for new DM fall racing season BY KELLEY CARLSON For Del Mar’s fall meet, Hollywood is taking center stage. The seaside oval is clearly defining its new “Bing Crosby Season” with a focus on vintage glamour and races that bear names of celebrities from years past. It’s an homage to Crosby, the singer/actor who founded the track in 1937. “We knew that this season would not be the same as summer, so we went for a whole different marketing plan,” explained Chris Bahr, director of events and promotions. The 15-day run kicks off Nov. 7 and concludes Nov. 30, with live racing action Thursdays through Sundays. Del Mar’s famous blue-and-gold summer color scheme will give way to black and gold, and staff members will don classic black vests and white shirts instead of the carefree palm-tree patterned gear. Because Del Mar absorbed racing dates from the shuttered Hollywood Park in Inglewood, it also picked up several of its major stakes. Among them are the $300,000 Hollywood Derby and the $300,000 Matriarch, both Grade I events, which will be held Thanksgiving weekend. “We’re going to have a strong emphasis on turf racing and 2-year-olds,” said David Jerkens, Del Mar’s racing secretary. “We’ll be reaching out to European interests and outof-state stables to add some special spice to the meet. Our Thanksgiving weekend includes a half-dozen major grass races, which should be well-received by our local horsemen, as well as an incentive for any outfits that are willing to ship runners.” And in keeping with its Hollywood theme, Del Mar has renamed several of its stakes to honor show-biz stars who had roots at the track. For instance, the Hollywood Prevue Stakes is now the Bob Hope Stakes, and the Cat’s Cradle Stakes will be known as the Betty Grable Stakes. New season, new events Del Mar’s fall meet will commence with a Vintage Hollywood Fashion Contest on Opening Day (Nov. 7), a concept similar to summer’s One and Only Truly Fabulous Hats Contest, with prizes awarded in various categories. Next is Track Diva Day, slated for Nov. 8. Women can spend the day with hostess Joanne Jones in the sixth-floor Seabiscuit Skyroom, which offers picturesque views of the ocean and racetrack, and listen to special guest speakers such as jockey Kayla Stra.

What’s old is new for Opening Day BY KELLEY CARLSON On Nov. 7, Del Mar will begin its first fall meet in decades, with festivities that bring the past into the present. The fall Opening Day “will follow the model of our summer Opening Day,” said Chris Bahr, director of events and promotions. The spotlight will be on the Vintage Hollywood Fashion Contest, in which participants can dress up and compete in the categories of Best Celebrity Look-alike, Best Dressed Couple and Most Glamorous. First place in each category wins $300; second place receives $200; and third place gets $100. The Bing Crosby Grand Prize — presented to the overall contest winner — is a $1,000 gift certificate for Leisure Society sunglasses and a $500 Studio Savvy gift certificate. Sign-ups will be between 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. in the Plaza de Mexico, just inside the Stretch Run admission gates. All entrants will get two free admission passes to be used during Del Mar’s fall meet, from Nov. 7-30. Besides the contest, vintage cars will be on display, and visitors can have their picture taken in front of the iconic “Hollywood” sign. “We’ll give fans the red carpet treatment,” Bahr said. The featured event on the day’s card will be the Kathryn Crosby Stakes, a 1-mile turf race for fillies and mares 3 years old and upward, named in honor of track founder Bing Crosby’s widow, now 80 and living in Northern California. According to Bahr, the track is anticipating that Kathryn Crosby will be in attendance.

15, the track will host a College Day Tailgate Party, which college students can attend free with a valid student I.D. Festivities will be held in the concert area west of the grandstand. Before sitting down to a big turkey dinner on Nov. 27, families are invited to participate in the Thanksgiving Family Mile Fun Run, which benefits the Helen Woodward Animal Center. “We’re trying to start a tradition,” Bahr said. Participants will run one lap around

San Diego Jewish Academy to offer free weekly class to new parents, kids San Diego Jewish Academy will begin offering a weekly New Parent Participation class to be held every Friday, beginning on Oct. 31. “This class is for children ages birth to 18 months,” said Yael Edelstein, director of SDJA’s Early Childhood Center. “so long as they are accompanied by an adult — whether it be a mommy, daddy, grandparent, or nanny.” The class, which will be held from 9 a.m.-10:30 a.m. at 11860 Carmel Creek Road, San Diego, will be taught by one of SDJA’s creative and talented preschool teachers and will begin by celebrating Shabbat (Sabbath). The class will be held with the rest of the preschool on the preschool playground and will be led by another preschool teacher — and her guitar —and then proceed to one of the classrooms for the rest of the class. This free class will consist of reciting the Shabbat blessings, enjoying delicious Shabbat snacks and then having an opportunity to participate in the various “learning centers” set up around the classroom. These centers will consist of puzzles, art projects, manipulative area (play do, sensory activity) and block area. The children will be able to explore the different centers, and the class will end with a teacher-led circle time. For information, contact Yael Edelstein, SDJA Early Childhood Center Director, at 858704-3815 or e-mail yedelstein@sdja.com.

Results of a French twelve-year study of 80,000 women showed NO increased cancer risk in women using bio-identical estrogen and progesterone therapies when compared to women using no hormones. Women using bioidentical HRT may enjoy relief from many of the pre/post-menopausal symptoms, both minor and major, once dosing of each hormone is in proper balance. Starting as early as your late 20’s and through to your late 40’s, females can start to significantly reduce the production of progesterone compared to estrogen, leading to what is known as “Estrogen Dominance.” Symptoms can include: UÊ ÀÀi}Õ >ÀÊ i ÃiÃÊUÊ Ã >ÊUÊ Ài>ÃÌÊ/i ìÀ iÃÃÊ UÊ `Ê-Ü }ÃÊUÊ ÌÊ >Ã iÃÊUÊ V iÊ UÊ7i } ÌÊ > Ê vÊ «ÃÊ> `Ê/ } ÃÊUÊ }À> iÃÊ We urge those who are seeking information or just curious about what HRTs can do for them to call or come into Carmel Valley Pharmacy and speak with our staff. Many retail pharmacies don’t compound, so many patients are often times unaware of how compounded medication like HRTs can improve quality of life. For many, becoming educated can be the first step in a positive, life-improving direction. As society moves forward in scientific achievements it is time to throw out old ways of thinking and embrace new medical approaches that may allow us to live our lives to the fullest.

For Canyon Crest senior, fun and philanthropy go hand in hand

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY ROB LEDONNE Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a Friday afternoon, and Canyon Crest senior Noah Levinson is on a lunch break. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s well-deserved because, along with juggling school, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also the mastermind behind Hallow II, a Nov. 1 event at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center which creates a club-like atmosphere for high school students to celebrate the night after Halloween. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nightclubs are for people over 18 or 21, so last year me and my friend thought we should just open one up for high school students,â&#x20AC;? he explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We then realized we could do it one night (a year), and thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s how everything started.â&#x20AC;? Levinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entrepreneurial spirit didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t come out of the blue. When he was 12, he took up the guitar, which later led to a passion for music and then the founding of his own DJ company. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I started DJ-ing weddings, corporate events, and Noah Levinson created Halbar mitzvahs,â&#x20AC;? he remembers. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After some time, it was somelow II, a post-Halloween thing I realized I wanted to do a lot more of.â&#x20AC;? club event for high schoolThat passion became the springboard for last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hal- ers that donated part of its loween event, the first, and by all accounts it was a success. profits to charity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had no idea what to expect,â&#x20AC;? he says of the night, which also had a philanthropic angle. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A little over 200 people attended and we were able to donate a portion of our profits to Stand Up For Kids, a nonprofit that aids homeless teenagers in San Diego. Throughout my life, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been deeply involved in Hebrew school, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve embraced a philanthropic lifestyle. My goal is to fuse my passion for music with giving back to the community.â&#x20AC;? When Levinson was researching charities for which this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event could raise funds, he found something that troubled him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I settled on Just in Time, which aids foster children,â&#x20AC;? he explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I read on their website that a huge percentage of foster youth end up in jail or become homeless. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to read something like that, so I wanted to help.â&#x20AC;? As a result, Levinson decided to make this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event 100 percent nonprofit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always heard that todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youth are the leaders of tomorrow, and I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unfair that there are factors which make that idea harder for todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disadvantaged youth,â&#x20AC;? he explains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wanted to give back.â&#x20AC;?

The first Hallow II drew just over 200 attendees last year. Levinson is making this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event 100 percent nonprofit. Tickets for Hallow II are $15 presale and $20 at the door. The four-hour event is set up much like a festival; to keep it fresh, all four DJs (including Salinasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Mr. DeeJay and Ayla Simone) are performing for exactly an hour each. In addition, attendees should look forward to a black-light-sensitive airbrush body tattoo artist, state-of-the-art lightning equipment, games, and giveaways. Levinson doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t graduate until spring, but heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s on the hunt for colleges and has his hopes set on New York University to study business and music. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are things I have a passion for,â&#x20AC;? he says. For information and tickets for Hallow II, check out http://www.hallow2.com. Doors open at 7:30 p.m.

Pillbox Tavern adds casual dining touch to SB’s restaurant row

Local author to discuss new mystery Nov. 6 at RSF Library

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Expanding Solana Beach’s restaurant row, Pillbox Tavern opened Oct. 18 two blocks from the ocean. The contemporary beach bar and restaurant, named after the beach at nearby Fletcher Cove Park, is at 117 W.

Headed by Chef Shelly Velez, the former chef of Guava Beach Bar & Grill in Mission Beach, Pillbox Tavern’s ceviche, coconut shrimp and marinated steak tips have already become popular dishes. “We have a lot of health-conscious items as well as your standard staples,” said Gibson, who has more than 20 years of professional and operational experience in the nightclub, restaurant and bar industry. “We also plan on expanding the menu over time.” A Pacific Beach resident, Gibson is the founder of Dirty Birds, a popular wings spot just steps from the beach on Mission Boulevard.

HOW TO CHOOSE A VETERINARIAN Most people think of their pets as members of their family. In fact, some people even refer to them as fur children. That’s why finding a veterinarian or veterinary clinic is so important. You need to find qualified care to ensure the long-term health of your pet. But in a difficult economy, pet care might get overlooked. Routine care might even seem unnecessary. After all, do humans skip medical and dental check-ups if they seem like they’re in good shape? Unfortunately, pets age faster than human beings. Their bodies and internal systems can change rapidly, sometimes in a matter of a few months. When you take your pet to his doctor regularly, you can catch an illness in its beginning stages. As you know, catching a disease early can save you hundreds or thousands of dollars. Routine veterinary care will ensure your pet lives a long and happy life. Choosing a good veterinarian that suits you and your pet can seem like a difficult task. If you follow these guidelines, you should be able to find a professional that will give your pet the best care possible.

ASK FOR REFERRALS Your family and friends may know a good veterinarian. Listen to their experiences with a critical ear. You need to ﬁnd someone who is professional, compassionate and timely. Ask speciﬁc questions, such as whether the clinic staff likes animals. Do they respond to concerns in a timely manner? Research veterinary and veterinarian clinics on the Internet. Make a list of prospective candidates, then check with the Better Business Bureau in your state to see if there have been any complaints against these professionals. How were the complaints resolved?

MAKE A VISIT

After making a list of choices, visit the veterinary office or clinic. Call ahead and request a tour of facilities. The staff should have the time to answer your questions.You should see a clean and wellmaintained office. Observe how the staff interact with clients and pets. Are they warm toward the animals and owners? The employees should have an affinity for animals. Sit in the waiting area and introduce yourself to other clients. Find out if they are happy with the services and staff. Finding the best vet for you and your pet will take time and research. You should put the same effort into finding a doctor for your animal as you would in finding one for yourself. The bottom line is that your pet’s health is a cooperative undertaking between you and your veterinarian. Finding the perfect vet for you and your furry, scaly or feathered friend will ensure your pet is with you for years to come.

HOW TO CHOOSE IN-HOME CARE Sometimes, people need help in order to live independently. Seniors and even young people with debilitating disease could live at home with assistance. Nursing homes are no longer the only option. While many of them provide compassionate care, the move can prove to be expensive and traumatic. It forces the patient to leave their familiar environment and belongings.

PERSONAL CARE

In-home care is becoming more common. Patients who need regular attention can still live at home surrounded by family and friends. It is the perfect compromise. Professionals visit the home of the patient to provide services. Not only is it convenient and comfortable, it is typically less expensive than the care offered at a full-time facility. Because it is growing in popularity, many in-home care companies often specialize in services ranging from housekeeping and errand running to daily medical assistance. Talk to your loved one’s primary care physician to help you understand your choices. The doctor can help you select a provider and help you determine the level of care required. This professional may even have referrals to give you. After speaking to several in-home care providers, you can compare the range of services they offer. Typically, they will fall into three categories:

Homebound people often need companionship. An inhome care professional will provide a friendly face and good conversation as well as general care. It might be a matter of reading aloud to your loved one, discussing the daily news or playing a game of cards. Quality in-home care providers understand that patients also need mental stimulation and human contact in order to stay well.

MEDICAL CARE Providers vary greatly in terms of the types of medical care they provided. Some may be able to offer 24-hour care while others are better with simple tasks, such as monitoring blood sugar or reminding patients to take medication. Always inquire about the medical qualifications of any in-home care providers you are considering. All workers should have the proper training, degrees and certifications. If you are unclear about the exact level of medical care your loved one will require, ask your physician. The doctor will also be able to tell you what qualifications in-home care providers should have in your situation.

Caregivers can help with daily grooming, mobility and any special diet requirements. They can help prepare meals or run simple errands.

COMPANIONSHIP

Before entering a contract, understand the services that will be provided. You want to make sure you are getting what you need without paying for services that are not Kathryn Johnston required. If personal care is needed, you should not have to pay for medical care as well. Everyone, including you, should be comfortable with the people who work for the company. In-home caregivers will quickly become part of your life, especially as they enter and exit the house. Get referrals from people who have been in a similar situation. The best in-home care provider is about ﬁnding the right combination of services. Once you have the right company, the patient will receive companionship, comfort and cost savings that make in-home care such a fantastic choice.

ESTATE PLANNING TIPS AND ADVICE Con nsiider th hese e tip ps fo or cre eating g a sound, logical esttate plan n. It is always best to document how you want your property and other assets handled in the event you die. People who do not have a plan in place often leave heirs with legal difﬁculties, inconvenience, unnecessary taxation and family arguments. Consulting with an estate planning professional can having a lasting impact on your legacy. After all, estate planning isn’t just about protecting heirlooms, it also provides security for your family.

SEEK LEGAL COUNSEL While some people use online forms to draft a will, most people would benefit from consulting with an estate planning attorney. This experienced professional can create legal documents with your specific circumstances in mind. It’s true everyone should have a will, regardless of age. But that is only the first step in developing a solid estate plan. You should also create a living will, power of attorney and possibly a trust. Consult an attorney who has experience in developing estate plans for those whose situations are similar to yours. Do not try to do it alone.

LIFE INSURANCE POLICIES Life insurance policies provide for loved ones in the event of your death. There are a wide range of options, and only a few will make sense for your situation. A professional can guide you through the possibilities and help you make appropriate choices. If you have any hesitation or confusion, ask another professional or keep researching. You should feel certain that you are choosing the best policy for your needs.

FUNERAL EXPENSES Funerals are very expensive, sometimes up to $10,000. You don’t want to leave your family with large bills. That’s why you should plan ahead to cover the cost of your own funeral. Pre-paid funeral plans are a popular option, or you can simply buy a burial plot in advance so that one major task will be handled before your death. It may be uncomfortable and even frightening to consider, but it is something that must be addressed as part of a solid estate plan. Visit funeral homes in your area to discuss prepayment options.

COMMUNICATION IS KEY Communicate with your family in general terms about your estate plan. Talking to them about what they can expect could head off estate disputes and Kristina R. Hess, J.D., M.A. heartache. A good estate planner can help you navigate complicated family dynamics and concerns that may accompany this process.

THE CURRENT STATE OF SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND SUCCESSFUL MODELS OF RECOVERY Substance abuse is an issue that touches lives across economic, social and cultural landscapes, and it overwhelmingly is on the rise. In 2012, more than nine percent of the United States population had used an illicit drug or abused a psychotherapeutic medication, up from 8.3 percent in 2002, according to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).

Dr. Sunder

SAMHSA DEFINES THOSE SUBSTANCES AS:

â&#x20AC;˘ Tobacco â&#x20AC;˘ Alcohol â&#x20AC;˘ Marijuana â&#x20AC;˘ Cocaine â&#x20AC;˘ Methamphetamines â&#x20AC;˘ Prescription Drugs â&#x20AC;˘ Opiates including heroin

CURRENT STATE OF U.S. SUBSTANCE ABUSE As with many other countries across the world, America ďŹ nds itself entrenched in an uphill battle with substance abuse and addiction. Abuse of tobacco, alcohol and illicit drugs costs the U.S. more than $600 billion related to crime, lost work productivity and healthcare, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse. Dr. Keerthy Sunder, M.D., Executive Medical Director of BRISAS Recovery and Wellness Center of La Jolla, says major inroads have been made in the prevention and treatment of substance abuse but that much work remains. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am excited for how Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen the ďŹ eld change since I began in medicine, but we are still learning,â&#x20AC;? he said. Sunder entered medicine as an obstetrics physician. He switched focus after delivering many babies who were born addicted to illicit drugs because of their mothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; issues with substance abuse. He realized he could positively impact two lives by treating teens and adults with addiction. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is a powerful thing to see effective treatments and feel the reward of saving or improving lives,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think as a doctor, that is why you enter the ďŹ eld.â&#x20AC;? Sunder possesses extensive experience as a clinician, researcher, administrator, teacher, lecturer and writer for peer-reviewed journals and book chapters. He has also authored a book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Addictions â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Face Your Addiction and Save Your Life,â&#x20AC;? and has earned diplomates from the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology, the American Board of Addiction Medicine and the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists

in London, England. Sunder said high-proďŹ le celebrity cases of substance abuse are sometimes glamorized by the media, making it difďŹ cult to disseminate the truth behind addiction as a mental illness. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so important to get out the right kind of information when something like that is being covered by all of the news outlets,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need to make it more clear that addiction is a brain disorder, not a moral failure. We need to take away some of the unfortunate stigma that comes with it.â&#x20AC;?

SUCCESSFUL MODEL OF RECOVERY Sunderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s innovative recovery center in California combines science and art in guiding people through intensive, effective treatment and recovery processes. As Executive Medical Director, Sunder partners with Chief Operations OfďŹ cer Dr. Jennifer Prager to provide a full spectrum of evidence-based, integrated treatments that acknowledge the bio-psycho-social model of addiction. The center offers working professionals a six-week Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) including ambulatory medical detoxiďŹ cation. Sunder has seen positive results . Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s why he says it works: â&#x20AC;˘ BRISASâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; multidisciplinary team of licensed, board-certiďŹ ed physicians, psychologists, and therapists specializing in addiction medicine and substance abuse â&#x20AC;˘ Supportive treatment environment where the individual is motivated to change their problem behaviors and meet lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenges while achieving long-term abstinence â&#x20AC;˘ A speciďŹ c design for individuals with daytime responsibilities who need to maintain their daily obligations â&#x20AC;&#x153;The supportive environment is crucial,â&#x20AC;? Sunder said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are people out there with no insurance and no social support who are forced to really white-knuckle their way through battling addiction. They may relapse after a stretch of success, but nobody keeps track of that.â&#x20AC;? Sunder urges those battling with addiction â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in any stage of the disease â&#x20AC;&#x201D; to reach out to trained, accredited professionals in their area. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Programs like ours that are clinically proven and based in science and evidence are most effective,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so critical to take that ďŹ rst step.â&#x20AC;?

HOW TO CHOOSE AN ASSISTED LIVING FACILITY Wh hat to know w wh h en choo osing an assisted living fac cility for you ur lo oved one e. Sometimes, illness or age can take a toll on someone. They find that living independently at home is no longer a viable option. When you need to look for an assisted living facility, there are many things to consider. Cost is often the first thing people think about when searching for a facility. While a clear understanding of expenses is beneficial, there are other aspects to keep in mind.

the size and layout of the center may become more important. Eventually, you may need someone to dispense medication, manage appointments, provide transportation and more personal levels of care.

Be sure you know the cost breakdown of each facility. An awareness of how fees are charged will help you avoid surprises later. Special services might be an additional cost. The quality of care and satisfaction of current and former residents will also figure prominently into your decision. Of course, the maintenance and comfort level of the facility is also something to research.

While some facilities can provide increasing amounts of care, other centers may require that you leave the facility should your needs increase. A facility is a good match when it resembles the lifestyle to which the resident is accustomed. Make a list of things that are important to you. If you pursue gardening, crafting or other hobbies, look for a center that lets you continue with these hobbies with ease. People who enjoy staying active and exercising can find a facility that has a gym, exercise room or secure place to walk. Gregarious people need centers that allow plenty of opportunity for socializing. Moving into an assisted living facility doesn’t Ramon E. Lewis have to be stressful or unpleasant. With research and diligence, you can be confident that you or your loved one will be well cared for while still being able to enjoy life.

Do an online check of assisted living homes in your area. Many sites will feature reviews from family members, friends and residents. Make a list of facilities that might be a good fit. Be sure to visit each facility on your list. Look carefully at the condition of the buildings. Inquire about activities for the residents. Also, take a look at their calendar of events to get a better idea about the lifestyle of people living there. Go out of your way to meet residents and family members. Touring facilities during the early evenings or weekend afternoons are the best times. Ask for honest opinions about the staff, amenities and accommodations. You or your loved one may only need a secure environment or assistance in case of a fall. In the future, these needs could change. The ideal facility will accommodate additional needs in the future. If mobility becomes a concern,

Health Care System Makes it Difficult for End-of-Life Patients No matter our political, religious, cultural or socio-economical differences, the one thing that we all have in common is death. Unfortunately, creating a “good death” to the elderly and sick is not easy and it could be getting even more difﬁcult. A recent New York Times article highlighted

the struggles of a 91-year-old Joseph Andrey whose dying wish was to be able to return to his apartment so that he might pass away in the comfort of his own home. Unfortunately, instead he felt like a prisoner of the health care system, a system that had pushed him back and forth between hospitals and rehabilitation facilities so many times that he and his daughter had lost count. Sadly, Joseph is not alone in this story. A new report from The Institute of Medicine deﬁnes the elements of a good death as one that is “managed carefully over weeks, months or even years, through many ups and downs. Ideally, health care harmonizes with social, psychological, and spiritual support as the end of life approaches. To this end, care near the

end of life should be person-centered, familyoriented, and evidence-based.” In our current system, however, palliative care – or care meant to relieve pain when there is no cure – often fails to meet the needs of patients. Policies and payments that support high-quality end-of-life-care are largely inadequate or absent altogether. Oftentimes, regulations that were put in place to protect the patient are circumvented or ignored. One of the main problems is that proﬁts and bottom lines beneﬁt from intensive and expensive treatments far more than respecting the wishes of people at the end of their life. Some studies have even shown that the expensive treatment that is frequently ordered is either unnecessary or harmful to the patient.

Joan M. Teno of Brown University’s heath system says, “Until our current health care system is no longer based on piecework reimbursement, and becomes accountable for person-centered care, we all need vigilant advocates to protect us from this ‘medicalindustrial complex.’” At the Encinitas Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, we ﬁrmly believe in person-centered care and we always put the patient’s needs at the forefront of every decision.

Pepper Power for autumn and always The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Over the years Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made a culinary observation that the world is divided into salt people and pepper people, and rarely do they betray their loyalties. Salt is a mineral, pepper a spice â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the most popular one throughout the globe. Once so valuable and revered, pepper was bestowed as a sacred offering to the gods, and even used as a currency along with a measure of oneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s wealth. Powerful pepper spurred the spice trade and stimulated exploration of new lands.

Many Faces of Pepper Black, green and white peppercorns are berries that grow in clusters similar to grapes, all on the same perennial flowering vine (Piper nigrum). The difference lies in the stages at which they are harvested. The green peppercorns are picked when unripe, and have a mild manner, about one-third the heat of black peppercorns. The latter are picked when half ripe, just at the cusp of turning red, then dried to a dark, rich color, endowing them with an exciting and pungent flavor. The white ones, used predominantly in Asian cuisine, are picked when fully ripe, then soaked in a brine solution to remove the outside casing, stripping them of color, but imparting them with a strong fermented flavor, almost wine-like. Then there are pretty pink peppercorns that belong to another plant family related to ragweed. Cayenne or red pepper is a different beast altogeth-

er, a cousin to bell pepper and a member of the nightshades. This tropical chile packs a punch in stews, soups, chilis and Italian dishes, while serving up a side of antioxidant. One word of warning: handle with kidgloves as this spice can burn your bare hands and eyes. Shake Things Up An attention grabber especially when sprinkled on such surprising foods as hot cocoa or eggnog, a pinch of pepper also amps up vanilla pound cakes, chocolate mousses and rice puddings. For savories the spice intensifies the robust flavors of lamb roasts and chicken with a pepper-garlic rub or marinade, seafood cocktails with a biting sauce, and grilled wild caught fish with a peppercorn crust. Add a layer of flavor to dips, tapenades and salads, especially the classics. Hail Caesar! Cookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s tip: Since pepper losses its flavor and aroma soon after it is ground, grind just before

serving for both raw and cooked dishes. Perks of Pepper Black pepper stimulates taste buds, triggering the stomachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s secretion of acids, thereby dialing up digestion. It has also been found to prevent intestinal gas, weight gain (as it triggers decomposition of fat cells), and is a mighty antioxidant and antibacterial agent. The spice provides a motherlode of minerals, including manganese, copper, calcium and iron, along with blood and bone boosting Vitamin K, Vitamin C and dietary fiber. So pepper up! Grist for the Mill Choose whole peppercorns over ground pepper to preserve the flavor integrity. In addition, the former has a Methuselah shelf life, the latter only about three months. Store peppercorns in an airtight glass jar in a cool, dry, dark spot.
