No new short-term rentals in Del Mar for now BY JOE TASH The City of Del Mar renewed its ban on new short-term vacation rentals in the city, while working on a comprehensive set of rules that would delineate where and how local property owners could rent their homes to vacationers in the beach-side community.

December 8, 2016

At its meeting on Monday, Dec. 5, the council passed an urgency ordinance, by a 5-0 vote, that bans any new short-term rentals (less than 30 days) in the city for the next 45 days. The ordinance does not prevent property owners who are currently using their homes for short-term rentals from continuing the practice.

A previous moratorium on new rentals expired Dec. 1. City officials said they needed to renew the moratorium to preserve the "status quo" while the permanent rules are being devised. The issue is expected to come back before the council within the next couple of months. Councilman Dwight Worden said he

would not be in favor of extending the moratorium beyond February. "By the end of February I think we need to have it done," Worden said. Short-term rentals through such services as Airbnb and VRBO.com have become controversial across the country in recent years. The issue pits SEE RENTALS, A17

SB residents learn about Climate Action Plan initiative BY KRISTINA HOUCK Community members gathered Nov. 17 to learn more about the Solana Beach city’s efforts toward crafting a Climate Action Plan during a public workshop at Solana Beach City Hall. The Climate Action Plan Workshop was held during a special meeting of the Climate Action Commission, an advisory group that was established last November to assist in developing a Climate Action Plan for the city. “Developing a Climate Action Plan is not easy work,” Deputy Mayor Peter Zahn said at the start of the meeting. He and Councilwoman Lesa Heebner serve on the committee. “There are a lot of tough choices that need to be made and we all need to live with these choices,” added Zahn, who encouraged the public to provide feedback on the plan. California Assembly Bill 32, adopted in 2006, compels the state to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020. Subsequent California legislation established additional requirements for setting more long-term greenhouse gas reduction targets. Since then, several cities in San Diego County, including neighboring Del Mar, have adopted Climate Action Plans to identify projected future emissions. The plans also set specific greenhouse gas reduction targets and strategies to achieve those targets. To assist with developing a Climate Action Plan, Solana Beach’s nine-member Climate Action Commission is helping update the city’s greenhouse gas emissions inventory, set reduction targets, implement mitigation measures and perform periodic monitoring, verification and evaluations. “Fortunately, our city has done a lot of groundwork, going back to the Clean and Green Committee,” Zahn said. “A lot of good work has been done so far and the commission has been able to build on that.” About 50 people attended the workshop, where Dr. Jeffrey Severinghaus, Solana Beach resident and professor of geosciences research division at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, provided a brief overview of climate change. “We have a big problem and it’s bad,” he said. “It’s time to do something about it.” For most of the workshop, Dr. Nilmini Silva-Send, assistant SEE CLIMATE, A17

DM council raises city manager's pay BY JOE TASH Praising City Manager Scott Huth’s work in 2016, the Del Mar City Council unanimously approved a 2 percent raise and a 4 percent bonus for their top administrator at a meeting on Monday, Dec. 5. The increase will be added to Huth’s current salary of $203,000, and is intended to bring his pay within 5 to 7 percent of the median salary for city managers in San Diego County, according to a report on the council’s agenda. Before the raise, said the report, Huth’s salary was 8.4 percent below the median of $221,613, according to a survey of San Diego

city manager compensation performed by the city. The survey found Huth’s salary stood fourth-lowest among other city managers in the county. Del Mar’s population, at about 4,300, is the lowest among San Diego County’s 18 cities. The increase was Huth’s second in about six months. The council granted Huth a 3 percent raise and a 3 percent bonus in June, following a performance evaluation for the calendar year 2015. Under his current contract with the city, Huth receives a performance evaluation and potential raise every year. At Monday’s SEE RAISE, A17

Elizabeth Blackburn, Ph.D.

Salk Institute president, Nobel Prize winner discusses her life in science BY ASHLEY MACKIN La Jolla Woman’s Club concluded its 2016 Women in Leadership speaker series Nov. 30 with a visit from Salk Institute president and Nobel Prize winner Elizabeth Blackburn. About 100 guests filled the Woman’s Club at 7791 Draper Ave. to hear Blackburn discuss the importance of curiosity to her field, the science behind her prize-winning discoveries and her personal path to success. While introducing Blackburn, Woman’s Club president Mithu Sherin said, “We started our Women in Leadership speaker series in 2015. Last year, our focus was women in government. This year, our focus was women in science and that’s why we are so honored to have Elizabeth Blackburn here to speak to us.” Blackburn is the 18th president of the Salk Institute, having taken the helm earlier this year, and she received the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2009 (awarded jointly to Carol Greider and Jack Szostak) “for the discovery of how chromosomes are protected by telomeres and the enzyme telomerase.” Taking the podium, Blackburn pointed out, “There are very few women who have won the Nobel Prize and that’s particularly true in the sciences. I want people to see, by my example, ‘Look, you can be a woman and be in the sciences and win a Nobel Prize.’ ” She said she had a scientific passion her

Blackburn’s path took her to the study of telomeres. “Picture in your mind a shoelace and on the tip of it is that little aglet,” she explained. “Now imagine that in the cells of your body, there are hundreds of these little shoelace things in every cell. Each of those shoelaces is a chromosome found in the nucleus of each cell. These chromosome carry precious genetic information. We need those protective ends at the end of these chromosome shoelaces to protect that genetic information. But the problem is, sometimes those ends wear down. “Chromosomes replicate themselves all the time. There is a real problem when cells replicate, it is … a little bit like a copy machine. When you go to make a copy, with each print, a little bit gets faded or left off and that’s the copy machinery of the chromosomes and cells. Each time the chromosome copies

Caltrans director Malcolm Dougherty speaks Nov. 29 at a groundbreaking event for the first phase of a North Coast Corridor improvement program. The event was held at the San Elijo Lagoon, which will be completely restored as part of the project.

Work begins on $700M in North Coast Corridor projects Nov. 29 groundbreaking event was held at San Elijo Lagoon BY PHIL DIEHL Construction kicked off Nov. 29 on the $700 million first phase of a 40-year project along coastal North San Diego County that will target multiple modes of transportation — an approach that state and federal officials say should be a model for all of California. The work is part of the North Coast Corridor Program, a $6 billion multi-agency effort that will include wider freeway bridges, new carpool lanes, double-tracked railroad bridges, 10 miles of new bike paths, multiple pedestrian walkways and crossings, and the complete restoration of the San Elijo Lagoon. Dozens of local, state and federal representatives gathered Nov. 29 during a groundbreaking held at the San Elijo Lagoon Nature Center in Cardiff. “This project will improve the daily lives of people who live and work along the Interstate 5 corridor,” said Monica Gourdine, associate division administrator for the Federal Highway Administration. The gain is not without some pain. Starting almost immediately, work on the carpool lanes and bridges is certain to slow traffic and make life a little more difficult for commuters at times until the first

phase of work is completed in 2021. “We are going to do the best we can to minimize that disruption,” said Malcolm Dougherty, director of the California Department of Transportation. He asked for “the motoring public” to be patient during the work, and said everyone will be better off once it is finished. Work should begin within days on the new I-5 bridge across the San Elijo Lagoon at the border of Solana Beach and Encinitas. Construction of the Batiquitos Lagoon bridge in Carlsbad is scheduled to begin in mid-2017. Several speakers at the Nov. 29 event said the innovative approach of combining freeway, railway, public transit and environmental construction projects will allow all the work to be done faster and with less upheaval. “Doing all these projects concurrently gets us out of the (environmentally-sensitive habitat of) the lagoon a lot quicker,” said San Diego County Supervisor Ron Roberts. It also minimizes the negative effects on traffic, business, pollution and other things, he added. Nearly $500 million of the first phase SEE CORRIDOR, A19

CaseyGerry partners Thomas Penfield and Robert Francavilla, a Carmel Valley resident, were recognized recently as “Outstanding Trial Lawyers” at the Consumer Attorneys of San Diego’s (CASD) annual Evening with the Trial Stars Awards Dinner held at the U.S. Grant Hotel. The award was presented to the longtime CaseyGerry partners based on their successful work on a case against American Reprographics, LLC, a digital reproduction firm whose truck driver hit a young Carlsbad woman crossing the street, causing a serious and permanent foot injury. Following a three-day trial, a Vista Superior Court jury ordered the San Diego company to pay $425,741.67 in damages to the plaintiff. According to CASD, a local organization of trial lawyers dedicated to preserving and protecting the legal rights of consumers, the Outstanding Trial Lawyer Awards are given to

attorneys responsible for an outstanding verdict in connection with a jury trial involving a civil or criminal matter. Criteria include ingenuity, liability aspects, service to the community and the amount of the verdict. With a practice concentrating on serious personal injury/head injury and products liability, Francavilla is now a six-time winner of CASD’s Outstanding Trial Lawyer Award and has been named one of the Top 25 Plaintiffs Lawyers in California by the Los Angeles Daily Journal. Penfield has significant experience in personal injury, products liability, class actions and civil litigation; he is an adjunct professor of law at the University of San Diego (USD) School of Law and is one of a handful of California attorneys named a Diplomate of Trial Advocacy by the American Association for Justice.

Holiday food donation drive for SD refugees to be held Dec 10 at CCA More than 1,000 refugees have arrived in San Diego County since May 2016 due to one of the worst humanitarian disasters in recent history. Refugees are challenged with an overwhelming amount of emotion and anxiety as they arrive. The government-funded resettlement agencies, including the Internation Rescue Committee (IRC), are doing all they can to help these families. During this season of giving, a few local families have put together a food donation drive to help with one of their urgent needs, food. They have requested the dry food items below. Please help in making this donation a success. All items will be donated to the IRC in City Heights. Please drop off your donations on Saturday, Dec. 10 between 8 a.m.-noon at Canyon Crest Academy in front of the Proscenium Theatre. There will be signs where to drop off. Thank you in advance! Dry food items needed: any type of rice, dry beans (lentils), pasta, flour, tea bags, instant coffee.

Free All-Girls STEM Society workshop on Dec. 18 The All-Girls STEM Society and Coding the Future is hosting a free Python programming workshop on Sunday, Dec. 18 at the Carmel Valley Library. (STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Math.) The Python Turtle class for girls in grades sixth through eighth will run from 1:30-4:30 p.m. and teach how to draw faces, snowflakes, fractals and more with digital turtles. No prior programming experience is required but attendees must bring their own Windows-based laptop to the event. Participants will also be able to win Turtle prizes. In addition, there will be a follow-up event on Sunday, Jan. 8 from 1:30 to 4 p.m. The All Girls Stem Society was founded by The Bishop’s School junior Veronica Tang and Eleni Fafoutis (who now lives in Virginia) with the hopes of addressing the fact that women are underrepresented in STEM and make up only 25 percent of the workforce in computer, mathematics and science fields. The pair created the first all-girls math tournament in San Diego in 2015 and have since hosted several STEM workshops on a variety of topics at the Carmel Valley Library.

Canyon Crest Academy’s Kira Loren races to first place in the CIF San Diego Section Division II cross country championship.

CIF champion Kira Loren to run for UCLA next year

JAN 17–22 California Center for the Arts, Escondido

Right off I-15 and CA -78. Only 30 min from downtown SD / La Jolla. Free parking.

Showtimes: Tue/Fri/Sat 7:30pm, Matinees Wed/Thu/Sat 2pm, Sun 1:30pm

BY KAREN BILLING Canyon Crest Academy Raven runner Kira Loren won the CIF San Diego Section Division II cross country championship on Nov. 19. The first place finish was the highlight of Kira’s high school running career, finishing the 2.75-mile course in 16.30.7. “I couldn’t believe it. I never thought I would be the CIF champion, it’s so surreal,” said Kira, who will run cross country and track next year for UCLA. Kira and her CCA teammates Carlie Dorostkar, Naomi Smitham, Erin Beck, Claire Bernd, Zoe Ertuck and Corinne Chapkis took second at the CIF Sections and then went on to compete at the CIF State Cross Country Championships on a cold Saturday, Nov. 26 in Fresno. The Ravens took ninth in the state and Kira finished in 18:13.2 on the three-mile course, placing 22nd in the state. “Kira is one tough competitor,” said Andrew Corman, who coaches CCA’s cross country and track teams.“As Kira finished up her only second season of cross country, she has done an amazing job setting a couple of school course records and helping the team achieve several team course records. Her hard work ethic, daily commitment to improvement, and leadership is extremely evident in her results this year.” As a sixth grader at Del Mar Heights Elementary School, Kira’s PE teacher encouraged her to run and she took up cross country when she was a seventh grader at Earl Warren Middle School. While she ran track all four years at Canyon Crest, she didn’t do cross country right away as she also played soccer and field hockey. For her junior year at CCA, Kira decided to drop soccer and field hockey to focus on running, with encouragement from her track coaches Corman and Rob Lusitana. “If it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be doing cross country. They really helped me find my passion,” Kira said. Last year, Kira’s cross country season was hampered by an iliotibial (IT) band injury so her CIF San Diego and state competitions were disappointing. This year she was injury-free which she credits to working more strength training into her routine. “I did strength every day and stayed persistent with it and it paid off,” Kira said. The CIF San Diego race was held at Morley Field on a course that she had done in an earlier meet. She knew what to expect of the course but was also in a strong field of runners from solid

programs at Mt. Carmel and Rancho Bernardo High. “There was 400 meters to go and I just felt I had so much more,” Kira said. “I kicked super hard and I knew I had about 10 seconds between me and the next person.” The state meet was held on a cold day in Fresno and Kira said it took a bit to get warm. Her division was the fastest race of the day. “I learned a lot from that race,” Kira said of the strength and strategy of her competitors. While she had hoped to place higher individually, Kira said the team was very excited about its ninth place finish. Last year the team finished 13th and Kira has high hopes for next year’s squad as they have some very fast juniors and freshmen. Kira is in the middle of a two-week break and then will begin working her way back into shape for track season. During cross country she typically logs 45 to 50 miles a week; track is about the same but with more speed sessions and targeted workouts. In track she is a distance specialist in the 3,200 meters and the 1,600 meters. She said she loves both track and cross country equally as they incorporate different kinds of race strategies. Track is faster, flat and you know where to expect the turns; cross country courses have the unexpected challenges of hills, winding trails through canyons and a bigger field of competition around you. “Track has smaller races (than cross country) so it’s more intimidating,” said Kira, whose goal this year in track is to make state again — last year she competed at the two-mile distance. “We look forward to her continued improvement this year in the track and field season and her leadership as we transition into the Avocado West League. Kira has speed and this past year really developed her endurance, so the team will be looking to for her to score points in multiple events in dual meets,” said Corman. “I am also excited as her resume is increasing so she should be able to get into some big races at Arcadia and Mt. Carmel this year to help prepare her for a return to the state track and field meet.” At UCLA next year, Kira’s goals are to be an All American and bring home a Bruin NCAA championships. At UCLA, Kira will be reunited with former teammate Kelly Bernd, now a freshman and also former Torrey Pines High School track distance runner Jackie Garner, now a sophomore. “I’m super excited,” Kira said.

BY MARSHA SUTTON

When foundation appeals cross the line

very few months, a parent tells me that their school’s foundation is fundraising in a way that feels punitive. Through strong-arm tactics and coercive language, foundation flyers and pleas for money often convey a sense of intimidation. They do not make clear that no child can be excluded from school activities, whether parents donate or not. Instead of an incentive to donate, the messages suggest there’s a negative consequence for not donating. This issue never seems to go away. Parents, you do not have to donate money to a school or its foundation for your child to be included in school classes and events. Know that. The latest incident came from Solana Vista School in the Solana Beach School District. Solana Vista educates about 450 students in kindergarten through third grade. In mid-November, a flyer requesting a donation of $375 per child to the Solana Beach Schools Foundation was sent home with each Solana Vista student. This was clearly a school-endorsed communication. The flyer read: “There are only two weeks left for you to make your donation to the Solana Beach Schools Foundation and help your class launch into the blast zone! If your class doesn’t reach 75% participation by December 1, then your kids will not be able to participate in this exciting opportunity for a special Discovery Lab with Mr. Lynch on Discovery Day, January 13, 2017. This is something your kids won’t want to miss, so make your donation today!” Word is at least one child went home in tears, believing they would be excluded from the event. The flyer included a list of classroom teachers and what percentage each class had received thus far in donations. Those classes with over 75 percent participation were listed under the heading “Mission Accomplished.” Under “Reaching for the Stars” were the names of the other classroom teachers, and next to each was shown the percentage of participation for each class, ranging from 41 to 72 percent. Although asking for $375, the

flyer did state that any amount “counts toward participation.” Students in those classes that hadn’t reached 75 percent participation by the Dec. 1 deadline, the flyer stated, would not be allowed to take part in “a special” Discovery Day event. This is described as a classroom competition, thereby pitting teacher against teacher, classroom against classroom, parents against parents. And kids against kids? If one classroom has more students who qualify for the free and reduced lunch program than another class with more middle and upper-middle class families, then the class with more kids in poverty is clearly at a disadvantage. I’m just not seeing how this is a healthy competition. It shames and embarrasses low-income families and places unjustifiable pressure on every family to donate money for fear their child will be left out. Decorating a rocket I asked SBSD superintendent Terry Decker to explain how this is in keeping with the law that guarantees a free public education for all. Even though the flyer states the opposite, Decker said, “All of the students at the school will participate in a rocket launch activity during the school’s Science Discovery Day. No child will be excluded from that activity based on the level of donations from their class.” The flyer, he said, “does not give an accurate representation of the event.” However, he said that only the classes that reach 75 percent participation will be able to decorate one of the rockets. “Decorating the rocket is not part of the instructional program,” he said. “It is a recognition of participation in the fundraiser.” Decker said that California Education Code “allows schools to provide pupils with prizes or other recognition for voluntarily participating in fundraising activities.” Even if legal, is it ethical? Maybe recognize the parents, but why the kids? Also, what about the kids whose families did donate but their class still didn’t reach 75 percent? Okay, I know decorating a rocket might not seem like a big deal. But if you’re 5, 6, 7 or 8

www.delmartimes.net years old, it matters. Small children will see this as a privilege for families that have more money than others – and as punishment for those who can’t afford to donate. Decker said he and Solana Vista principal Katie Zimmer would be issuing another flyer to make clear that the rocket launch event is for all students “and participation is not contingent on a donation.” Clearly, that point was not made in the original flyer, so I was interested to see the next version. Misleading parents Days and days went by, school was closed the week of Thanksgiving, and by early the following week still no new flyer. Finally, on Nov. 30, one day before the Dec. 1 deadline for donations, a new flyer was issued. This flyer removed the chart that showed which classrooms were meeting their contribution goals, but nowhere was there language that indicated the original flyer was wrong or needed to be clarified. It simply said one day was remaining to meet fundraising goals. And there was this: “Classes that reach 75% participation in the fund drive by December 1 will be recognized with a special activity … and all Solana Vista students will take part in a rocket launch on Discovery Day January 13, 2017.” Decker said the Solana Vista principal worked with the foundation’s executive director, Patti Malmuth, on the flyer. They were very good at revising their words to comply with the law, while carefully crafting the language to omit any admission of guilt for misleading parents in the first flyer. The horse has left the barn. The intimidation has already happened, and the mistake was not clarified in any timely or meaningful way. Decker said it was important to remember that foundation members are volunteers who mean well and simply want to help their school. He said when they understood their mistake, “they felt terrible.” “It was not their intention to intimidate anyone, and they will know to be more sensitive to that issue moving forward,” he said. When I asked if he was satisfied with that second flyer, he said yes. “The flyer appropriately and accurately describes the fundraiser, makes clear that all students participate in the school-wide activity, points out that any amount a family donates counts toward participation, and omits the table showing standings by classroom,” Decker wrote in an email. That may be technically true,

but without clearly stating that they made an error in the first flyer, the subtle differences in the second version are easily missed. Training is key These are good people, not villains. But every board member of every foundation needs to think carefully how their words will be received by those less fortunate economically. It’s a matter of increased sensitivity. Parents at other Solana Beach schools should take note and be aware of their rights, if these same kinds of messages are communicated. This incident illustrates a much larger problem. This obfuscating language is typical of flyers that school foundations commonly employ, although the rewards for donating (and punishments for not donating) differ from school to school. Public schools cannot demand payment or deny students access to classes or school-wide activities – from cheerleading camp, soccer uniforms, cameras in photography classes, clay in art classes, costumes in theater, band instruments … all the way down from high school to kindergarten where not being allowed to decorate a rocket can be heart-breaking for a 5-year-old. What has to happen is training. New foundation leaders need to understand how not to cross the line. And every time communication goes out to parents and families, it has to be vetted by the school principal who also needs training. The principal has to be held accountable and responsible, as an employee of the school district. Oversight is critical by school districts where superintendents and principals know the laws and need to be vigilant about the messages – written or implied. In Solana Beach, Decker said lessons were learned and there’s now greater understanding of the issue. He agreed that training is key and said he spoke with all his principals “about appropriate approaches to fundraising and the messaging that goes with it.” He also said Malmuth, the foundation’s executive director, will “talk about this issue with the site presidents at their next meeting, and is adding it to the site president training/orientation done in the summer.” Maybe we’d have more compassion if we tried harder to see the world through the eyes of a low-income child. There are so many obstacles they will face in life – they don’t need to start off at age 5 with constant reminders at school of all the opportunities they will be denied because of income inequality.

FROM CLIMATE, A1 director and adjunct professor at the Energy Policy Initiatives Center at University of San Diego, discussed using mitigation measure modeling to help develop a Climate Action Plan. According to Silva-Send’s presentation, Solana Beach emits more than 139,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. The majority, 63 percent, stems from transportation. A Climate Action Plan would serve as a comprehensive roadmap, outlining strategies the city could use to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions. In order to meet the state’s directives, she said the city’s plan needs to help reduce the city’s greenhouse gas emissions 15 percent below 2010 levels by the year 2020, 40 percent below 2010 levels by 2035, and 50 percent below 2010 levels by 2035. “This is to be consistent with everyone else,” Silva-Send said. Various state mandates have been set to help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, Silva-Send explained, but the city will still need to implement strategies to meet its goals. Some of

FROM RENTALS, A1 the rights of property owners to generate income with those of nearby residents, who have complained of noise, parking problems and other issues arising from the short-term rentals. In California, the state's Coastal Commission has frowned on outright bans of the short-term rentals, considering them to be a way of promoting beach access, since they are often more affordable than hotels. In justification for Del Mar's moratorium on new rentals, an agenda report said the city has

those strategies, Silva-Send said, might include implementing clean and renewable energy, rooftop solar systems, energy and water efficient buildings, alternative transportation, recycle and divert waste, and tree canopy covers. “There’s a lot we can do,” she said. After further discussing these options and asking attendees various interactive questions, Silva-Send showed that Solana Beach would greatly reduce its greenhouse gas emissions if these steps were taken, but there still would be a small gap, approximately 12,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent, to meet the state’s 2035 target. “There’s still a gap to meet those state targets, but it’s not bad,” she said. To gather further input from the public, the city is currently asking people to participate in an online survey. Responses will help city officials and commissioners identify key opportunities for lowering greenhouse gas emissions in Solana Beach. Survey findings will be summarized in a report that will be available on the city’s website. To participate in the survey, visit www.surveymonkey.com/r/HT3XDQ5 received "numerous complaints" about noise, parking, refuse and the disruption of continuity in the neighborhoods where short-term rentals are located. A report prepared for a previous meeting said there were 143 rentals listed on Airbnb and VRBO in Del Mar. Council members said it will be challenging to craft rules that protect both property rights and quality of life for all parties. "This is a very tough issue," said Councilman Terry Sinnott. "I'm assuming we may end up in court here no matter what we do," Worden said.

FROM RAISE, A1 meeting, Councilman Terry Sinnott noted that the 2015 review had been delayed, and that was why Huth received two evaluations so close together this year. Council members credited Huth with a number of major accomplishments in 2016, from launching construction of the new city hall to finalizing a deal to send the city’s wastewater to the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority for processing. Wastewater treatment may not be “sexy,” said Councilman Don Mosier, but the agreement with San Elijo will save the city tens of millions of dollars over the long term and is a “huge accomplishment.” The deal will also bring recycled water to the Beach Colony and Village areas, according to the agenda report. City council members also praised Huth’s stewardship of city finances, which included increases in city reserves and capital improvement funding. The city’s financial condition is improved, and is now “very healthy,” said Sinnott, for which he credited the work of Huth and city

staff. “Our general conclusion is Scott is doing very good work, meeting our expectations in a number of different areas,” said Sinnott. One reason the council wanted to complete Huth’s performance review at this point, said Sinnott, is that two new council members, Dave Druker and Ellie Haviland, will be sworn in next week, taking the seats now held by Mosier and Councilman Al Corti. The current council wanted to handle the performance evaluation for 2016, Sinnott said. As part of Huth’s performance review, council members also suggested opportunities for improvement. According to Councilman Dwight Worden, one such area is communicating with the community. Huth assumed his post in 2012. In 2015, the council approved a three-year extension of his contract, which runs through Jan. 1, 2018. Included in Huth’s package of benefits, according to his contract with the city, is a $500 monthly car allowance and a $150 per month cell phone allowance. Per his contract, Huth also received a cost of living increase of 1.6 percent in January, in addition to the merit increases, according to the city.

FROM DOG, A2 The incident started shortly before 5:30 a.m. after deputies were called to an apartment complex on Paseo Delicias near La Granada in the village area, where residents reported a person yelling and the sound of items breaking. Deputies were confronted by a man standing in front of a unit with a knife, said sheriff’s Lt. Kenneth Nelson. Deputies launched pepper balls at Nett and deployed a sheriff’s dog to subdue him, but he attacked the dog, Nelson said. Deputies rescued Banjer and rushed him to an animal hospital for emergency surgery. Banjer was wearing a safety

After attacking the dog, Nett broke into a nearby apartment and held a resident at knifepoint, Nelson said. The victim was able to escape and run into a bathroom, locking the door. The suspect then yelled to deputies posted outside that he’d just “slit the throat” of the victim, Nelson said. As deputies prepared to enter the apartment to rescue the resident, Nett stepped outside again and confronted them with the knife, Nelson said. One of the deputies fired four shots, striking Nett in the torso. They treated him at the scene until paramedics arrived

This year all students participated in an expressive art project where they created a metaphor and visual representation of leadership. The project was led by parent Leetal Benzvi, an expressive art therapist. The kids talked about the different traits that make a leader and used art to reflect on what a leader looks like. In just a half-hour session, the kids produced some creative images — bears to represent courage, an ambulance to represent how a leader helps people, a dove to represent bringing peace. “It’s amazing what these 10- to-12-year-olds come up with,” Benzvi said.

and took him to a hospital. The deputy who opened fire was not named. The deputies who responded to the incident were not injured. The resident was found inside the bathroom unharmed. Once Nett is released from the hospital he is expected to be booked into jail on numerous felony charges, authorities said. San Diego Superior Court records show Nett has four felony cases against him. One stemmed from a July 2012 arrest by Escondido police in which he was charged with driving under the influence of drugs, driving on a suspended license and unlawfully possessing ammunition, records show. – Kristina Davis is a writer for The San Diego Union Tribune

Rail projects are budgeted for about $100 million, and bike, pedestrian and community enhancement programs for $40 million Interstate 5 and the coastal railway are widely seen as an “economic lifeline,” facilitating the movement of goods and services within San Diego County and to the rest of the state. Efforts to protect the environment and provide public recreation are interwoven into the freeway and railway work. The new longer, wider bridges — with fewer piers in the water — will improve the health of both lagoons by allowing tidal waters to flow more freely in and out, preventing stagnation and making the tidal waters more accessible to marine life. “We’ve been talking about the tidal flow in these lagoons forever,” Roberts said. “That has been a big issue.” The budget also includes $80 million to pay for the restoration of the San Elijo Lagoon, a project lagoon conservancy executive director and principal scientist Doug Gibson has been working on for 20

FROM BLACKBURN, A4 and the cell divides, the telomeres get shorter and shorter.” In the course of her study, Blackburn found correlations between shorter telomeres and likelihood of chronic diseases, such as certain types of cancer and cardiovascular diseases. “We know when the telomeres run down enough, they cannot make a protective cap at the end of the chromosome, which sends a strong signal to cells and they do not multiply. And when cells don’t multiply, tissues don’t replenish,” she said. “Over a lifetime of say eight decades, the telomeres dwindle down due to the incomplete copying and are damaged by things like chemicals. It happens to all of us in our lives. So the question became: Does this matter?” A study of 64,000 people would later suggest it does. For the study, Blackburn and associates measured telomere length and then waited seven years. At the end of that seven years, they looked at who died and why. The people with the shorter telomeres were more likely to die rather than those with longer ones. Larger studies are underway as to what to do when people discover they have short telomere length.

Telomerase therapy

In 1984, Blackburn discovered an enzyme that helps preserve telomere length, now known as telomerase. And while telomerase therapy is being pursued, Blackburn explained, “When longer telomeres are in (for example) cancer cells, it gives those cancer cells permission to grow and keep on multiplying. So we have to walk a fine line between too much and too little. So using telomerase therapy is like playing with fire.” Instead, she said there are some environmental factors that can have a positive and negative influence on telomere length. Negative influences

years. “The lagoon is home to more than 700 plant and animal species, many rare or endangered,” Gibson said. “The loss of this critical habitat has slowly progressed over the past century.” Experts estimate as much of 90 percent of coastal California’s wetlands have been covered by development. San Elijo and other San Diego County lagoons provide a critical part of the remaining wetland habitat. Additional areas will be set aside and protected at San Elijo as part of the mitigation efforts required for widening the freeway and railway. Also, selective dredging and filling will remove the unnatural buildup of sediment in the lagoon and restore a healthy environment for more of the natives species. The lagoon restoration is scheduled to begin in mid 2017 and continue through 2021. Additional trails will be built to improve public access to the lagoon, including a pedestrian undercrossing beneath the railroad bridge that will connect east and west ends of the lagoon for the first time since the railroad was built more than 100 years ago. — Phil Diehl writes for The San Diego Union Tribune include stress, depression, poor diet, tobacco use, childhood trauma and more, and positive include exercise, sleep, ingestion of omega-3s and more.

Getting ‘the call’

Her work, though ongoing, got the attention of the Norwegian Nobel Committee. Joking that “everyone asks me about winning the Nobel Prize,” she recalled the day she found out. “In 2009, I got a phone call at 2 a.m. and I don’t know how you react when your phone rings at 2 a.m., but I immediately thought it was something bad — especially because my mother-in-law was 95 at that point. I thought something’s happened to her. But when I answered the phone, this Swedish voice told me I had won the Nobel Prize. At first, I didn’t really believe him. I think he could tell that, and told me the media would be calling soon and advised me to have a cup of coffee,” she said. As a recipient of the Nobel Prize, Blackburn said she enjoys speaking, especially when it gives her the platform to advocate for more women in sciences. “Curiosity-driven science really gets you some place and that couldn’t be more true than in the biological sciences because what comes from it really matters to human health. We need to have increasing and more diverse curiosity-driven scientists because that is going to make projects happen that will really have an impact,” she said. Her advice to young women: “Stay focused and stay persistent. Try to get yourself into a place where research is being done to find out if you like it. So many young people read about a branch of science and then they find out it’s not for them. Know your skills and what field these skills would best serve. To quote the L’Oréal-UNESCO for Women in Science initiative, ‘Women need science and science needs women.’ ”

Eastman School of Music senior offers college music audition workshops

La Jolla Cultural Partners

Daniela Camilleri, a senior at the prestigious Eastman School of Music at the University of Rochester, NY, is no stranger to auditions. She has participated in theater productions since the age of 5, and enjoyed a successful musical theater career, winning a National Youth Arts Award for her role as Ms. Hannigan in Annie and placing second in Hollywood’s Best New Talent (Broadway) in Daniela 2009. It was only after singing Camilleri with the San Diego Children’s Chorus for four seasons did she begin to train classically. “I remember being in Puccini’s La Boheme and feeling such a deep connection with the music” said Daniela. “I knew then that I wanted to sing opera. I shifted my focus from musical theater to classical voice midway through high school.” It was also at that time that Daniela attended an audition that was to have a huge impact on her future. “As a junior in high school, I auditioned at SDSU to participate in their Opera Theater program. It was by far the most stressful audition I had ever attended, because I was overwhelmed by how much older everyone was and I really, really wanted to be cast!” Daniela ended up participating in two shows at SDSU, and she credits that experience with giving her the confidence to apply to music school. “Music school auditions are tough. You may be an amazing singer or musician, but so is

everyone else there, especially if you all had to go through the prescreening process. I was very fortunate that my audition at Eastman, which was my reach school, was the very last one. By the time I got to Rochester, I was vocally prepared. However, I would have really valued the experience of being able to do a mock audition for someone who had been through the process and could provide feedback.” Daniela has come a long way since those first days at Eastman. She has spent two summers in Italy, attended SongFest at the Colburn School in Los Angeles where she worked with composers Jake Heggie and Libby Larson and also participated in master classes with Graham Johnson, one of the world’s leading accompanists, at the Vancouver International Song Institute. She is currently in final rehearsals for a Jake Heggie production at her school and has begun coachings for the spring opera, where she will be playing the role of the stepsister Noémie in Massenet’s Cendrillon. “I feel as though I am in a good position to help anyone preparing for that all-important audition,” says Daniela. “Not only did I audition at several prestigious schools, but I was also a Student Leader for two years and very involved in the audition process. I have also been trained to audition ‘like a professional’ by one of the very talented opera directors at my school, who also taught us how to critically evaluate auditions and exposed us to life ‘on the other side of the table’. I have seen this process from both sides and can offer students an opportunity to do a dry run of SEE MUSIC, B12

Through parents’story, local man hopes to help heal divisions BY JOE TASH artin Kent is a man on a mission – to spread what he calls a “universal message of tolerance.” The 65-year-old Encinitas resident, a retired documentary filmmaker and journalist, said he seriously considered moving to Canada after the election of Donald Trump as president in November. The son of Holocaust survivors, Kent said he was disturbed by the polarization that arose during the election campaign. But conversations with his two grown sons changed his mind about leaving – one asked him, “What will that accomplish?” Kent recalled. Instead, said Kent, he wants to revive a talk that he has given in the past to high school students in Los Angeles, where he lived before moving to San Diego County four years ago. The hour-long program, he said, will encourage students to speak out when they witness acts of intolerance. “Do the right thing. Don’t be silent because your life ends when you remain silent. It’s over,” Kent said, paraphrasing a favorite quotation from the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Kent said he hopes to reach out to local school districts with his offer to provide the presentation, which includes a segment of a documentary

video he made about his parents’ story. His father, Jack, a young Catholic man, and his mother, Roza, a Jewish woman, met during the Nazi occupation of Poland in the 1940s. The two went on the run from the Nazis, narrowly escaping imprisonment and death at the hands of the occupiers, Kent said. “He could have easily walked away,” said Kent, rather than helping the young Jewish woman. Instead, “He put his life on the line and saved her.” In 2003, the government of Israel recognized his father’s actions with its highest honor, the “Righteous Among the Nations” award, the same award given to Oskar Schindler, the businessman memorialized in the film “Schindler’s List” for saving the lives of Jews during the Holocaust, said Kent. Kent said that since the election, he has been dismayed to read of the rise of intolerant acts aimed at minorities, including Muslims, Jews, Hispanics and others. The problem, he said, seems particularly acute in the nation’s schools. He pointed to a survey of K-12 educators conducted after the election by the Southern Poverty Law Center, an anti-discrimination group. According to a report on the group’s web site, 80 percent of teachers, administrators and school

By sharing his family’s story, Martin Kent said he hopes to turn the tide against the divisive impulses that have surfaced recently across the country. staff surveyed indicated heightened anxiety among students, worried about impacts of the election on themselves and their families. “Also on the upswing: verbal harassment, the use of slurs and derogatory language, and disturbing incidents involving swastikas, Nazi salutes and Confederate flags,” said the report. Kent said he was personally exposed to intolerance at an early

age. He was just 5 years old when, soon after his family moved to a new neighborhood in New York City, a neighboring child accosted him with an anti-Semitic slur. His mother, said Kent, taught him to reach out to everyone, even those who had demonstrated intolerance. “She just had love for everybody,” he said. During his career as a documentarian, Kent said, he made

some 50 films on a variety of topics, including art, science and history, and they were broadcast on such networks as Discovery Channel, A&E, ABC, NBC and PBS. A guitarist and singer, Kent fronts a band, “Blues Skies,” that performs locally, and he is a member of Del Mar Toastmasters, through which he recently won a speakers’ competition and is advancing to a regional contest. Although he was deeply moved by his parents’ personal Holocaust story, they didn’t share it for more than 50 years, preferring to bury their painful memories. It was only after he made a documentary about Oskar Schindler, in the wake of the popular film, that they decided to open up and share their story. Kent said he spent a year interviewing his parents and even traveled to Poland with his father, to visit and film some of the places where the couple had been during the war years. By sharing his family’s story, Kent said he hopes to turn the tide against the divisive impulses that have surfaced recently across the country. Referring to a line from the Leonard Cohen song “Anthem” (the singer and poet died just before the election), Kent said, the election “revealed a huge crack in America and we need to fill it with a lot of light.”

‘Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy’ helps patients find root of the problem BY STACEY PHILLIPS past patient at Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy recently celebrated her 100th birthday at the Bressi Ranch location. Brian Stone, PT, DPT, clinic director at that office, said she attributed her health and longevity to “a good sense of humor and sticking to her exercise program.” “Many of our seniors continue to come in even after they have finished their therapy as members of our senior exercise program,” said Stone. “They enjoy the benefits of the exercise, and also the camaraderie with the staff and other past patients.” Many who suffer from acute or chronic back or neck pain, sore joints and mild orthopedic injuries often turn to physical therapy. “Physical therapy is a good alternative to many other medical interventions in that it is non-invasive, has very few side effects and has shown to be very cost-effective,” said Stone. “In fact, studies show that people who are seen by a physical therapist quickly after injury and/or an episode of back pain, have a 30 to 50 percent lower chance of requiring more aggressive medical care and may save over $2,000 in their total cost of medical care.” Gaspar Physical Therapy was established in 1994 by Dr. Paul Gaspar, DPT, as a small

clinic in Frog’s Gym in Encinitas. “There was a fun and family-oriented environment where patient care was always placed as the top priority,” said Stone. A second location opened in Solana Beach in 2001 and two years later a third practice opened in La Costa. The company now has six locations in North County San Diego, including Oceanside, Bressi Ranch, Coastal Carlsbad, Encinitas, Solana Beach and Torrey Highlands. As the size of the practice grew over the years, so did the areas of specialization. Stone said the focus on outpatient rehabilitation now consists of cardiac rehab, pulmonary

rehab, aquatic physical therapy, women’s health and pelvic floor rehabilitation, custom orthotic fabrication, and hand therapy with a certified hand specialist. The largest facility, The Sports Performance Center, opened in 2011. Located on Avenida Encinas in Carlsbad, it encompasses more than 6,000 square feet of state-of-the-art sports therapy equipment such as a biomechanics lab and artificial turf where athletes have space to perform higher level exercises. This past October, the company announced the opening of a sixth clinic in Torrey Highlands for patients who live

farther south. “Over the years there have been several opportunities to either buy smaller clinics or to sell the company to bigger corporate interests, but that is not our goal,” said Stone. He said the 27 therapists and more than 100 employees share this same vision. “Many of our therapists have been with the company for over 10 years, which speaks to the family environment and small-business approach that still defines our company,” said Stone. It is independently owned by physical therapists, which Stone said allows for care that is guided by clinical decision-making and what is in the patient’s best interest. Gaspar met several of his current partners while working as a professor at the University of Southern California’s physical therapy school between 1996 and 2000. During this time, he became a clinical instructor for several student interns who joined the practice after graduating and they eventually became partners. As one of the seven partners, Stone said what sets the business apart from other practices is the commitment to quality. “Our patients are given ample time with their therapists and the therapists all have strong backgrounds in manual therapy to be able to SEE THERAPY, B17

Meanwhile shepherds are looking for their “lost” sheep and encounter not only an angel but also three Wise Men all searching for the same baby boy.

Food for the free-spirited: Flower Child opens at Flower Hill BY KAREN BILLING Flower Child opened in Flower Hill Promenade on Dec. 6, inspired by the mission to deliver “healthy food for a happy world.” The delicious and nutritious menu is mix-and-match style, allowing guests to select their favorite combinations of vegetables and grains such as simple sautéed broccoli, sweet corn and quinoa, Indian-spiced cauliflower, roasted butternut squash and scrumptious Yuzu Brussels sprouts with golden miso, toasted garlic and almonds. Flower Child is the second San Diego restaurant opened by restauranteur Sam Fox, joining True Food Kitchen in Mission Valley. The original Flower Child restaurant is located in Santa Monica. Flower Child took over the former Sea & Smoke space and features spacious dining areas upstairs and downstairs, as well as a courtyard patio. There is even “yoga-mat parking” where yogis can drop their mats while they eat. The décor is whimsical, floral and funky with lots of art – one mural features horses and jockeys as a nod to the Del Mar Throughbred Club down the street. The kitchen area is open so guests can see all of the fresh and local ingredients at play. The menu is packed with many gluten-free, vegetarian and vegan options.

Santa Fe Christian Schools (SFC) students, parents, faculty and friends came together to pack 200,091 meals for victims of Hurricane Matthew on Nov. 17 - 18. Students also raised more than $4,000 for Hurricane Matthew victims as part of SFC’s annual Give Thanks, Give Back service project. On Oct. 4, 2016, Hurricane Matthew made landfall in Haiti, devastating a country still recuperating from the 2010 earthquake. The hurricane claimed the lives of more than 1,000 Haitians and left 1.4 million people in need of humanitarian aid. Haiti will need months of emergency aid to stave off famine. Working with Friends & Family Community Connection in the “Fight

Against Hunger in Haiti,” more than 500 volunteers assembled food packages into meals. Food packages will be distributed to Shepherd’s House, a Haitian children’s orphanage and over 200 families who lost their homes in the hurricane. SFC was joined in food packing efforts by students from King/Chavez Primary Academy and employees from the American Heart Association and Lombardi Group. “Events like these provide our students with an opportunity to not only learn about the needs that exist in this world, but to also understand how they can be part of the solution,” said Dr. Tom Bennett, Head of Schools for Santa Fe Christian Schools.

event. Through the holidays, approximately 1,000 North County families in need are provided with food, coats, blankets and gifts for children, according to a news release. An average of 600 bikes are requested annually, and recipients are chosen in a lottery. In the past, the largest amount of bikes distributed was just over 500. On Dec. 11, members of the SDA boys water polo team will volunteer at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, working on the bikes that were collected and helping to sort other items into the Holiday Baskets.

“We just decided to take them on as a project and everybody just got busy making things,” Brooks said. The knitting group is a part of the Del Mar chapter of P.E.O. P.E.O., which stands for Philanthropic Educational Organization, strives to promote educational opportunities for women. The 12-member group often makes hats for newborns at local hospitals, but this was a new project. They spent about three months making their handcrafted gifts. “It was a ball,” Brooks said. “We had a wonderful time.” They held a surprise baby shower on election night for Rodrigo, presenting him with their handmade gifts. “It was a complete surprise for him,” Brooks said.

their audition. We can cover everything from what to wear, how to address an accompanist (for singers), how to present yourself and what questions you may be asked should you be interviewed. I would also be happy to share my experiences about what to expect at music school. Pursuing a music degree is a lot harder than most people think and it is important for students to know what they are signing up for. Having said that, I love what I am doing and still can’t believe that I am lucky enough to be able to follow my dreams!” Daniela is offering one-on-one workshops starting mid-December, in time for college auditions in January and February.

San Diego Unified School District Connected to Fast, Reliable Network Ninety two San Diego Unified School District schools now have access to a 175-gigabit network as part of an agreement with Cox Business. As part of the agreement, Cox Business built out 54 miles of fiber in San Diego. A total of 189 schools in the district are now connected to a fast, reliable Ethernet network through Cox Business that will enable all types of digital learning, not only inside the classroom, but also distance learning between schools and organizations outside of the district. “San Diego Unified students already have access to some of the best technology in education today, but as anyone who has ever left their cell phone service area knows, the best technology is only as good as the Internet service that

connects you to the world,” said Cindy Marten, superintendent of San Diego Unified School District. “Thanks to this partnership with Cox Business, our students will have access to enterprise class WiFi service, allowing them to collaborate with their teachers and peers in amazing new ways.” The network that Cox Business has built for the district is the largest fiber project the company has undertaken for a single customer in San Diego to date. “The network that we’ve designed for the school district is unique in its construction, the large number of sites being connected, and the high bandwidth capacity that is being delivered,” said Larry Coval, Vice President of Cox Business in

San Diego. “We’ve built a network that has the bandwidth to serve the district’s needs for its teachers and students now and in the future.” Serving more than 130,000 students, from pre-school through grade 12, San Diego Unified School District is the second largest district in California, with a diverse student population representing more than 15 ethnic groups and more than 60 languages and dialects. Cox Business is the commercial division of Cox Communications that serves business customers of all sizes, school districts, medical facilities, hotels, local government and the military.

Tiramisu A-Go-Go Naughty and Nice Culinary Questions

ou better watch out! This holiday season, foodies are more discriminating than ever, reading labels judiciously, making healthier choices, buying sustainable and organic ingredients, and painstakingly preparing treasured recipes from scratch (and with love). That also means more stress for everyone, whether you are hosting a holiday event or are an invited guest. To alleviate your gustatory conscience, relieve your anxiety levels, and make your contributions appreciated and memorable, here are some answers to your ticklish questions — both naughty and nice ones.

Naughty Ones

Q. I’ve been invited to a holiday potluck party from work, and the office manager knows I enjoy baking, so asked that I contribute a home-baked festive treat, like tiramisu or a seasonal trifle. As I’m really busy this time of year, would it be cheating if I bought a dessert, removed it from its original packaging and doctored it up to look homemade? A. Yes, that would be “cheating,” but since this is such a hectic time of year, I think you’ll be forgiven if you bring a lovely store-bought treat (organic or GMO-free is best). Then you can add a personal touch with a passed down family recipe, whether it be a sauce, drizzle, frosting or other unique holiday topping to make your contribution special.

Q. I’m preparing a holiday meal, the main course either a seafood risotto or poached salmon. I always use high quality ingredients, but was wondering if I could cut corners and use an inexpensive wine for cooking these dishes? A. Julia Child propelled the school of thought that you shouldn’t cook with wine you wouldn’t drink. Other oenophiles would beg to differ. While you probably wouldn’t drink a bright wine with a raspy acidity, those qualities are ideal for cooking. Cheap wine typically has too much sugar, masking the true flavor profile of the varietal. But that doesn’t mean you need to uncork a bottle of Lafite Rothschild ($560) to pour into your pans. A middle-of-the-road wine between $6 and $10 a bottle is a good compromise. For risotto use a Sauvignon Blanc or Chardonnay; poach fish in light white wine with fresh herbs; chicken pairs well with red Zinfandel, while beef and lamb are best braised with a Merlot or Cabernet Sauvignon. Q. Every Christmas we have dinner at my sister’s home and all the siblings bring their favorite dish. This year she’s insisting on a healthy theme. Unfortunately, my special creations are loaded with butter, cream, sugar and other decadent ingredients. I don’t want to compromise my recipes that everyone loves, but I don’t want to lie either, saying I’ve tweaked them with a healthier twist when I haven’t. Suggestions? A. My suggestion (although it would be more

Serves 4 (Can be doubled) ■ Ingredients: • 1 1/2 packages of ladyfingers (approximately 12 fingers per package) • 2 ounces Kahlua or other coffee liqueur • 1 ounce rum • 6 ounces black coffee or espresso (room temperature) • 1 teaspoon vanilla or almond extract • 1 pound mascarpone cheese • 1/3 cup Confectioners’ sugar

COURTESY

• 1 cup assorted fresh berries • Shaved bittersweet chocolate or unsweetened cocoa powder ■ Method: Blend mascarpone cheese, sugar, extract and one tablespoon of espresso until smooth. Set aside. Combine liqueur, rum and coffee. Dip ladyfingers in liquid careful not to make them soggy. Line them in a baking pan then spread a thick layer of cheese on top, alternating and finishing with a cheese layer. Top with berries. Chill. Sprinkle with chocolate of choice. Add dollops of whipped cream if desired. —kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

work for you) is to prepare two versions of your favorite dish — your original one with the indulgent ingredients, and a second healthier riff on the first, substituting organic ghee butter, olive or walnut oil for regular butter, coconut or almond cream for cow’s cream, organic honey, sucanat, or coconut sugar for regular sugar, and use fresh berries in a balsamic glaze as a dessert topping.

Nice Ones

Q. We like to volunteer at food banks or help serve Christmas dinner at homeless shelters. Any thoughts for some other type of food-related gesture our family can partake in?

A. Practically every city has pockets of “food deserts,” where people don’t have accessibility to a diversity of fresh, healthy foods, especially fruits and vegetables. Denizens of these “deserts” consequently have poor, unbalanced diets, which often lead to health problems. Bearing gifts of baskets or decorative boxes filled with organic seasonal fruits (apples, tangerines, persimmons, pears), vegetables (roots, squashes, leafy greens), farm products, such as free-range eggs, organic butter, goat cheese, and yogurt, along with whole-wheat bread or some festive home-baked goody, almond butter and preserves would be a lovely blessing for these folks.

Holiday Road Trip or Guilt Trip? Working Moms Navigating a Visit Home for the Holidays The holidays are often a special bonding time for families. Some families are spread over the country (or world), coming together for the rare visit. Other families are much closer, and the holiday dinner may be one of the many dinners shared each month. Each family has its own set of expectations for the perfect holiday, and sometimes this can take some creative planning but leads to a rewarding experience. In some families, though, the daughter’s life is expected to be focused around her mother. The adult daughter with her own life, and even her own family, is treated

as if she is still a child or a subordinate. Sometimes, nothing the adult daughter does is sufﬁcient to her mother’s expectations. Here are the most common holiday mothers and some solutions for how the adult daughters can cope. 1. The Needy Mom It’s true—there’s a difference between wanting a grown daughter and her family around for the holiday and demanding it. Solution? Usually, a gentle reminder or providing an alternative can appease the hurt in missing a holiday with mom, who may just need a reality check that her grown daughter will not be able to spend every holiday, every year, for the rest of her life, with her mother. And then send her ﬂowers. 2. The Guilt Tripper The adult daughter doesn’t call enough, doesn’t visit enough. Ultimately, mom can’t handle the empty nest. Sometimes, it doesn’t matter how long it has been since the children moved out—the empty nest is a very-real-to-her-but-irrational-toeveryone-else fear that the mother might be left alone, ultimately to be called the local witch by the neighborhood children. But adult women are not responsible for

their mother’s happiness. Solution? Try telling her she made you the successful, independent, autonomous woman you are today. And send her ﬂowers. Scary witches don’t get ﬂower deliveries. 3. The “That’s Not MY Recipe for Baked Yams” Mother This is a tough one for adult daughters with their own lives, but their mom may be in competition to prove that they were the best at being a mom, at raising kids. They may want to show off how much better their holiday dinners are, or how the daughters could not be functioning adults without their sage advice. They may only feel validated if their daughters make all the same choices they made. If the daughter goes her own way, mom may take it as a personal slight. Solution? Don’t take the bait. Sometimes you just need to get through a holiday dinner in peace. Then vent about her on the drive home. 4. Your Mother is a Bear You cannot poke the bear. You cannot appease the bear. The bear can smell blood or a struggling salmon from a thirty-mile radius. The bear is passive aggressive and sneaky. The bear’s needs must become the

single most important needs of everyone in that thirty-mile radius. Solution? Hibernate this one out. The adult daughter is not a bear keeper or park ranger and has her own family and life to manage. Women have so much to deal with already, especially around the holidays. If they have children of their own, it can be an important lesson for the children to see their mom not being passive in the face of grandma’s aggressive or undermining behavior. It is hard not to fall into the cycles of guilt, especially when family bonds are seen as critical foundations for our lives. Our families are our support systems, and mothers can be the biggest support systems for working moms. But when that support system ﬂips, and the adult daughter must cater to the whims of her mother, then the relationship is not going to be as loving or happy a bond.

FROM THERAPY, B4 provide effective ‘hands-on’ treatment,” he said. “Our physical therapists are trained to not only eliminate your short-term pain, but will work with you to come up with longer-term exercise programs to keep your pain from coming back and optimize your health and function.” Stone said that one of the big changes that has occurred over the past year is that direct access became available January 1, 2015. This allows patients in California to seek care directly from a physical therapist without a physician’s prescription. “There are several reasons that people can benefit from physical therapy,” said Stone. “Physical therapists are excellent at finding the root cause of musculoskeletal problems.” In addition to typically being seen within one or two days, Stone said a comprehensive plan is administered during the first appointment to determine the problem and find the best approach to address it. The business has been recognized as a top physical therapist practice, including a 2016 Readers’ Choice “Best of”award and Best Physical Therapists in San Diego 2016 by Expertise. Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy also takes pride in giving back to the surrounding community. This includes supporting many local nonprofit organizations and high school athletic training programs, offering hundreds of free athlete physicals and helping raise money for athletic training scholarships. The business has also been active in raising funds for breast cancer research and will be adopting a family over the holidays to provide food, clothing and gifts for them. “Our company is also different in that many of our clients consistently remark that it is a fun and enjoyable place to be,” said Stone. “We have always strived to maintain customer care and quality service as the number one priority of our practice.” For more information, visit www.gasparpt.com or email info@gasparpt.com. - Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers.
