Resolution on issues including climate change, immigrant roundups passes Del Mar council BY JOE TASH Political differences among members of the Del Mar City Council came to the forefront Monday, Dec. 19, as the council discussed a proposed resolution affirming the city’s commitment to addressing climate change, and its unwillingness to participate in the registration of Muslims or the rounding up of undocumented immigrants. The resolution was proposed by Councilman Dwight Worden, in an apparent reference to comments made by President-elect Donald Trump during his election campaign. Over the course of the campaign, Trump advocated a Muslim registry, a deportation force for undocumented immigrants and referred to climate change as a “hoax” perpetrated by China. “The proposed resolution is intended to reassure our residents and visitors where, as a city, we stand on these issues and whether, and to what extent, our city government will participate in some of the controversial programs that are under discussion at the federal level,” Worden wrote in a memo accompanying the proposed one-page resolution. But Mayor Terry Sinnott and Councilman Dave Druker expressed concern about what they perceived as the political nature of the resolution, its focus on national instead of local issues, and its potential to divide the community along partisan lines. In the end, the council approved the measure on a 4-1 vote, with Sinnott in opposition. Druker said he agreed with the spirit of the resolution, but said he wished it had been proposed later, after passions stirred by the election had died down. “It’s a very highly politically charged environment. People will see us doing this in response to political action,” Druker said. Sinnott said the resolution is clearly focused on “liberal Democratic positions” on federal issues, and asked why it didn’t include nods to conservative positions, such as calling for a balanced federal budget or reduced regulations on businesses.

SB council plays Santa with community grant awards BY JOE TASH The Solana Beach City Council, in an early Christmas present for nine local nonprofit groups, was able to fund all of the requests it received through the city’s annual community grant program. “That is a super rare event,” said Mayor Mike Nichols, after the council voted unanimously to fund the entire list of $41,900 in grant requests. In past years, said council members, the requests

outstripped available funds, and the council had to grapple with which applications to approve. The discussion and vote took place at the City Council meeting on Wednesday, Dec. 14. According to a staff report, the community grant program was launched in 2004. In the current budget year, $25,000 was allocated, which included SEE GRANTS, A18

Fairgrounds strikes pact with Native Americans on fair theme BY JOE TASH Officials with the Del Mar Fairgrounds have reached an agreement with a group representing local Native American tribes over a change to the theme for the 2017 San Diego County Fair. An earlier version of the theme had

been deemed as “extremely offensive” by at least one local tribe. The new theme will be “Where the West is Fun,” and will highlight the history of the West and San Diego County in the mid-to late 1800s, said Fred Schenk, a member of the board of the 22nd District

Agricultural Association, which operates the state-owned Del Mar Fairgrounds and runs the annual county fair. The agreement came Tuesday morning, Dec. 20, during a meeting between representatives of the 22nd DAA and the Southern California

Tribal Chairmen’s Association, a consortium of 19 tribes, said Schenk. A representative of the association could not be reached for comment as of press-time. “We worked that out and everybody is very pleased,” Schenk SEE FAIR, A18

New council members take oath in Solana Beach

BY JOE TASH The two newest members of the Solana Beach City Council were sworn in, and two departing council members stepped down after receiving gifts and kind words from their colleagues, at a combination meeting and ceremony held at City Hall on Wednesday, Dec. 14. After taking the oath of office, newly elected council members Jewel Edson and Judy Hegenauer took their places on the council dais, alongside Councilman David Zito, who won a new four-year term on Nov. 8. Zito also took the oath of office Dec. 14. Council members Lesa Heebner and Peter Zahn stepped down, after both opted not to run for re-election. Heebner served 12 years on the council, while Zahn had served four years. Following the swearing-in ceremony, the new council selected Councilman Mike Nichols to serve as mayor for the coming year, and Councilwoman Ginger Marshall to serve as deputy mayor. The largely ceremonial mayor’s post rotates among the council members on an annual basis. Zito served as mayor for 2016, and will now revert back to his council seat for the coming year. In his final remarks, before taking his seat in the audience, Zahn said he was proud of maintaining a balance between accommodating growth and maintaining

BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) board swore in newly elected board members Erica Halpern and Stephen Cochrane at its Dec. 14 organizational meeting. Incumbent Halpern received 44.51 percent of the vote and Cochrane edged out incumbent Darren Gretler 28.10 percent to 27.29 percent, a difference of 194 votes. “I’m honored to be here and I feel that we have a high-quality board and team, and I look forward to being a contributor,” Cochrane said. Cochrane, who has a Ph.D. in education and a master’s degree in special education, is an education professor and director of teacher education and credentialing. He has

been an active volunteer and PTA board member at Sage Canyon Elementary School. “I want to welcome Stephen to our leadership team and I’m confident that we’ll continue the good work of this board with his contributions,” Halpern said. The November election was Halpern’s first as she was appointed to the board in March 2015 to replace Doug Perkins. A Del Mar Heights parent, she has a career background in finance, business and public affairs. The race between Gretler and Cochrane was a tight one. With all the precincts reporting, the unofficial election results had Gretler with the lead at 27.95 percent to Cochrane’s 26.92 percent. At a Nov. 15 SEE DMUSD, A19

Court rules on seawall restrictions with ongoing litigation BY PHIL DIEHL A superior Court judge has mostly reaffirmed state and local restrictions on seawall construction in Solana Beach, though the battle over the controversial structures is far from over. A group of coastal property owners sued the city in 2013, claiming its coastal Land Use Plan unfairly prohibited them from protecting their bluff-top homes. Similar lawsuits have been filed by other Southern California property owners, including in neighboring Encinitas. In a ruling issued Friday, Dec. 9, in the Solana Beach case, Judge Timothy M. Casserly upheld several of the city’s restrictions on seawalls, including requirements that all seawall permits eventually expire under certain conditions, that no shoreline protection can be built for new development, and that private stairways must add public access as a condition of future permits. However, the judge overturned the city’s prohibitions on new seawalls needed to protect existing “accessory structures” and restrictions on the care and maintenance of private stairways to the beach. The two challenges upheld by the judge are significant, said Encinitas SEE SEAWALL, A19

Del Mar City Council cautiously supports ‘Barn at the Beach’ plan BY JOE TASH A proposal to erect a tent for off-site events in Powerhouse Park during next fall’s Breeders’ Cup horse racing event at the Del Mar Fairgrounds drew support from the City Council at a meeting on Monday, Dec. 19, but members want more details before giving final approval to the plan. The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, which is hosting the prestigious two-day horse racing event for the first time in November 2017, applied for permits to put up a 16,500-square-foot tent — dubbed “The Barn at the Beach” — for about two weeks, and host events for as many as 1,000 people at a time. Some of the events will be private but most will be public, said Craig Dado, a marketing executive with the club.

Events would be held over a seven-day period, with the additional days needed for set-up and tear-down, officials said. Dado said the tent would fulfill two purposes: Bringing business to Del Mar merchants around the horse racing event, and convincing visitors that future Breeders’ Cups should come back to the seaside venue. “The Breeders’ Cup is really the Olympics of horse racing. This is considered the biggest day of racing in the world, we absolutely thrilled to be hosting it,” Dado said. By hosting events at the oceanview perch of Powerhouse Park, he said, “We think this will wow our out-of-town visitors,” Dado said.

Council members said they want to support the Breeders’ Cup and involve Del Mar in the activities, but were concerned that details about the event, such as parking, the specific nature of the events, noise, lighting, sanitation and security, public benefits and park restoration, aren’t yet available. Although they voted 5-0 to give conceptual approval to the plan, they reserved the right to reject the proposal if the specific event details don’t pass muster. They asked for more details to be brought forward as soon as possible. Dado said his organization will comply, because the club will need to know if it can use the Powerhouse Park venue, its first choice, or have to look for other locations to stage its events.

BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) approved its first interim budget for 2016-17 at its Dec. 14 meeting. The district is projecting $53,243,786 in revenues and $53,437,410 in expenditures, which represents a deficit of $193,624. “I anticipate that we will have a balanced budget again,” said DMUSD Assistant Superintendent of Business Services Cathy Birks, noting that they typically see deficit spending at the first interim budget. Birks recalled how last year the first interim budget deficit was around $200,000 and they ended the year over $400,000. The district’s reserves are projected to be at $11.1 million, which is above the board-approved 15 percent reserves and the state-mandated 3 percent.

Stuart is a Master of running Local woman takes fourth in the world in cross country race BY CHRIS SAUR acing with Team USA across her chest earlier this fall was a type of fun Encinitas woman Laura Stuart has never had before. And for the Cardiff School teacher who has played college soccer, competed in the Ironman Triathlon, run in the Olympic Trials and has four kids, that is saying something. Stuart, 51, not only ran for the United States in the World Masters Track and Field Championships in Perth, Australia in October, she ran pretty darn fast. Competing against the fastest women in the world in her age range (50-54), Stuart finished fourth in the 8K cross country race to help the American team earn a bronze medal. Her time of 33 minutes and 49 seconds was first on the U.S. team. Two days later, Stuart came back to place ninth overall (again the first American) in the 5K track race, crossing the finish line in 20:23.76. She helped the U.S. take second in the overall medal count. “What I came away with most was that instead of being just Laura, or representing the San Diego Track Club, it was ‘Lane 4 U.S.A.’ so you got this feeling that you are representing … the country,” Stuart told the Encinitas Advocate. “That was what made it fun for me.” Stuart spent 10 days in Perth, and considered staying longer to run the 10,000 meters but decided to come home to her family. Early in her trip, she participated in the event’s Opening Ceremonies in downtown Perth, gathering with the rest of the Americans to walk together wearing their Team U.S.A. gear. Coming to the main track in the ensuing days, to pick up her numbers and paperwork, to train, watch other races and eventually compete, Stuart met people from all over the world: “When I was warming up for the 5,000, I met a girl from China because we just happened to be in the same spot. I realized that she didn’t speak English so it was a lot of sign language, gesturing, but it was really fun.” But as much fun as the destination was, Stuart’s journey to the World Masters Championships is even more interesting. Growing up in Livingston, New Jersey, she played baseball and softball as her main sport, but also soccer, basketball and swimming. During her senior year, she made the switch to the track team. “Somewhere along the line, it was a rainy day … we were in the gym practicing (softball) and I just realized I wasn’t having fun anymore,” Stuart said. “Then I saw the track and field team running around the halls and they looked like they were having fun. So I joined the track team.” She still had no interest in running initially, so she started with the javelin. Eventually, though, Stuart started running

She finished fourth overall in her age group’s 8K race. the distance events to help the team get a few more points. When she went to Rutgers for college (from 1983-84), she joined the club soccer team. That year, Stuart and her teammates helped the team transition from a club program into a true varsity team, but then she transferred to University of Virginia. The same thing happened at Virginia, Stuart joined a club soccer team and eventually helped it turn into a varsity program. However, once it was a varsity team, the talent level surpassed hers so she left the team. While she was playing soccer, Stuart realized she actually liked the running part more than the soccer part. So after she stopped playing soccer she kept running. Then, during a sorority event a short time later, Stuart easily outran all of her sisters and the rest of the competition at her normal jogging pace and realized that she was actually pretty fast. After graduating from college in 1987, she took a road trip to California and knew immediately that it was where she wanted to live. “This where I was meant to be,” Stuart said. “Everyone here was outdoors, exercising, working out, I was like wow.” So she and her husband, Scott, moved to San Diego in 1988, where a friend of hers signed her up for a triathlon and she said OK. That prompted Stuart to join a Masters swimming club as well as the San Diego Track Club to help with her training, and she eventually completed the triathlon. A couple months later, she ran the Lion Padres 10K and when she finished and saw the clock, she thought the clock was broken. She had broken the 40-minute barrier by more than two minutes. Realizing the speed she had, Stuart set a lofty goal for herself: run the marathon in the U.S. Olympic Trials. But first, she took a slight detour back into triathlons.

Sharp Rees-Stealy and San Dieguito Union High School Expert to offer District collaborate to promote healthy habits for students tips on how to prevent student sports injuries at Jan. 11 event

Sharp Rees-Stealy and San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) are working together to help middle school students and their parents live healthier lives and make choices that promote overall well-being. The collaboration includes a series of free wellness talks on topics such as diabetes prevention, sports-related concussions, eating disorders and the risks of tobacco and e-cigarettes. Sharp Rees-Stealy and SDUHSD are also conducting outreach campaigns to students and parents about flu prevention tips and immunization requirements. Three schools are currently part of the combined effort. Carmel Valley Middle School, which hosted the first event in October 2016, Pacific Trails Middle School and Earl Warren Middle School will hold presentations over the next few months. “As educators, we understand that our role in guiding students isn’t limited to the

classroom, but it encompasses learning outside of the classroom as well – especially when it comes to making smart health choices,” says Anna Weirather, district nurse, SDUHSD. “We want to make the most impact on our middle school students about issues they may soon face as they mature. Allowing them to hear directly from doctors and other health professionals in the community can make a big difference.” Dr. Rachel Klein, a double-board certified Internal Medicine and Pediatrics physician with Sharp Rees-Stealy Del Mar, led the October health presentation. She discussed ways that smart food choices can go a long way in preventing obesity and diseases such as diabetes. “Planting the seed early is a critical part of shaping the habits and perceptions of our youth that they will carry through adulthood,” says Klein. “Anything I can do as

a health provider to nurture the health and well-being of these children is part of my commitment to the parents and teachers of our community.” Dates, locations and topics for upcoming health events are as follows: •Jan. 11, 2017: Pacific Trails Middle School – “Safety First: Preventing Sports Injuries and Concussions” •Feb. 28, 2017: Earl Warren Middle School – “E-cigarettes and Tobacco Cigarettes: The Dangers are the Same” •April 25, 2017: Carmel Valley Middle School – “Know the Signs of Eating Disorders” Events are free and open to all parents and students throughout the SDUHSD district, as well as the general community.

place and $100 for third. The first place essay will be sent to the California South District level competition where college scholarships are available for top winners. “Young students today have so many fresh ideas about the world and their future,” Club President Gary Wilson said. “As Optimists, it is our goal to encourage them and do what we can to bring out the best in each of them. This gives them a wonderful

opportunity to tap into their creativity and pursue possible scholarships at the same time.” The deadline for submission is Jan. 31, 2017.

A free physician-led presentation on “Safety First: Prevent Sports Injuries and Concussions” will be held Wednesday, Jan. 11 from 6 p.m.-7:30 p.m. at Pacific Trails Middle School in Carmel Valley. Sports participation offers many physical and social benefits to students – but also exposes them to injury risks ranging from minor scrapes to serious head or spine injuries. More than 2.6 million children under the age of 19 receive emergency treatment each year for sports and recreation-related injuries. Learn about sports injuries that are most common – on the field and on the court – at this free event. Dr. Brad Stiles, a Sharp Rees-Stealy sports medicine doctor, will offer tips on how to prevent sports injuries from happening – and how to treat them if they do. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions and get health information at various booths. Pacific Trails Middle School is located at 5975 Village Center Loop Road, San Diego, 92130.

Solana Pacific raises funds for ALS research Last May, 5th grader Cole Spector addressed 650 students at Solana Pacific Elementary School to speak about ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease. Cole told the students about his aunt, who unfortunately was diagnosed with this horrific disease, and his plan to help raise awareness about ALS and funds to go for researching a cure. Cole’s plan included sharing an internet campaign started by his family called SLAM ALS! Abbie Alford, a reporter from CBS News 8, learned about Cole’s speech and the campaign he was promoting, and decided to interview Cole at Solana Pacific. While at the school, Alford also met and interviewed a teacher, Kelly Monahan, who’s uncle also has ALS, and the principal of Solana Pacific, Elisa Fregoso. CBS News 8 featured them in a segment that aired over the summer on the 11 p.m. news. A member of the CBS Dreamteam saw Cole on CBS News 8 and selected him to be on the national show called Chicken Soup for the Soul’s Hidden Heroes! Cole, teacher Kelly Monahan and many of Cole’s friends helped SLAM ALS on a segment of this show that aired in October. Cole and his friends at Solana Pacific have continued to raise awareness of ALS and funds for

SDA student gets perfect ACT score Katie Clark, a senior at San Dieguito Academy, earned the highest possible ACT composite score of 36. On average, less than .001 students who take the ACT earn a top score in any given year. According to a news release, Clark plans on attending a four-year university next year to study International Relations, with a goal of becoming a diplomat or FBI agent.

“Your achievement on the ACT is significant and rare,” ACT Chief Executive Officer Martin Rooda wrote in a letter to Clark, recognizing the exceptional achievement. “While test scores are just one of multiple criteria that most colleges consider when making admissions decisions, your exceptional ACT composite score should prove helpful as you pursue your education and career goals.”

Cathedral battles back to win 1-AA state title BY ERIC SONDHEIMER A CIF state championship Division 1-AA bowl game between Cathedral Catholic and Stockton St. Mary’s that was lacking in drama suddenly got wild and crazy in the fourth quarter on Friday night, Dec. 16, at Sacramento State. St. Mary’s had a 14-point lead and appeared to be cruising to victory. Then Cathedral got an 8-yard touchdown catch from Jack Thompson, followed by a 77-yard touchdown reception from Shawn Poma to tie the game. Morrison Mirer returned an interception 46 yards for a touchdown with 1:25 left, giving the Dons a stunning seven-point lead. No sweat. St. Mary’s Jake Dunniway fired a 70-yard touchdown pass to Aaron Jenkins to tie the game at 35-35 with 45 seconds left. It went to overtime for only the second time since the bowl series began in 2006. And Liam King of Cathedral delivered victory when he made a 20-yard field goal for a 38-35 win. The Dons had stopped St. Mary’s on fourth down on the opening possession of overtime, with Mirer the hero again by tackling Dunniway short of the goal line. “Unbelievable,” Mirer said of his

Liam King field goal beats St. Mary's, 38-35. team’s comeback victory. “We’re a tough team. We love each other. We weren’t going to lose.” Mirer is the third generation in his family to win a state football title. His father, Rick, a former NFL quarterback, and grandfather, Ken, won state titles in Indiana. Dusty Frampton rushed for 169 yards in 33 carries and scored one touchdown for St. Mary’s. Dunniway completed 31 of 46 passes for 411 yards and four

touchdowns. Tate Haynes completed 18 of 28 passes for 318 yards and three touchdowns for Cathedral (15-0). The Rams (14-2) broke open a halftime tie with two third-quarter touchdowns. Jenkins caught a 10-yard touchdown pass from Dunniway to complete a 92-yard drive and Frampton added a 14-yard touchdown run with 58 seconds left in the third quarter for a 28-14 advantage.

COURTESY SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE

The Dons closed to 28-21 with 9:22 left after Thompson caught his second touchdown of the night from Haynes, an eight-yard reception. Haynes was trying to guide the Dons on a game-tying drive but fumbled after being hit by Jordan Stinhilver. St. Mary’s took over on the Cathedral 35 with 4:58 left. Cathedral could never figure out a way to contain the productive offensive duo of Frampton and

Dunniway. St. Mary’s only loss was to Southern Section Division 1 champion Bellflower St. John Bosco. St. Mary’s offense has been rolling up yards and points. Somehow, some way, Cathedral came away with a 14-14 tie at halftime. St. Mary’s appeared in control for much of the first half. Dunniway was completing passes with little resistance. He was 16 of 23 for 182 yards and touchdowns of 19 and seven yards to Marcus Aponte. Frampton picked up 73 yards in 20 carries. Cathedral capitalized on a missed 29-yard field goal and stopping St. Mary’s on downs on its own 10-yard line. Those two missed scoring opportunities enabled the Dons to break through at the end of the second quarter to tie the game. Thompson caught a 23-yard touchdown pass Haynes and J.G. Heath caught a two-point conversion pass. Poma had an 18-yard touchdown run in the first quarter for the Dons to pull them within 7-6. Four times in the game, St. Mary’s had the ball inside the 20-yard line and failed to score. eric.sondheimer@latimes.com

San Diego Surf Academy Boys Select 2003 wins SCDSL Championship On Dec. 4, San Diego Surf Academy Boys Select 2003, coached by Beto Villela, won their division in the Southern California Developmental Soccer League post-season playoffs by a score of 1-0 on a goal by Travis Hackett – his first one since being diagnosed with leukemia in October 2014! Travis missed most of the 2014-15 season, spending several months in and out of the hospital receiving chemo treatments. Surf held his place on his team and he was able to return

in September 2015, playing 10-15 minutes at a time. He still gets chemo (treatment ends in February 2018), which inhibits his fitness somewhat, but he has worked hard to stay competitive. The championship-winning goal was a sweet and emotional moment for the team, which has been incredibly supportive, as has the Surf club and, of course, Coach Beto.

OUR READERS WRITE

Farewell from Supervisor Dave Roberts BY DAVE ROBERTS During the past four years, it has been a great privilege to serve as your Third District Supervisor. I will always treasure the relationships I have built. In addition to my policy work and the meetings I have attended on regional and state levels, I have enjoyed participating in community meetings and events. The Third District covers a lot of ground. I will always appreciate the great diversity of the district and getting to know its communities and the people that them unique. As I prepare to begin a new chapter, I urge you to stay in touch. My personal e-mail address is dave@daveroberts.org. Last week, I participated in my final Board of Supervisors hearings. The following is a transcript of my remarks: Thank you, Mr. Chairman, for allowing me to deliver some brief farewell remarks. I have held many jobs throughout my almost 40 years working life. (When I think back I started working at 16 years old; I just turned 56 a couple of days ago.) Service to others has been central to all of them. Whether a civilian employed by the United States Air Force in the Pentagon and Germany, a staffer on Capitol Hill, an executive with a Fortune 500 company or an international nonprofit healthcare group, or as a volunteer on city commissions in Solana Beach and later as a mayor of that city – the most fulfilling aspect of each of these jobs has been helping other people. Helping other people. Solving problems. Really putting the “good” into good government. That’s what we do here at the County of San Diego each and every day. And that’s why, for the last four years, I have enjoyed this job so much. I am pleased to have contributed – working together with all of you

– to our quality of life throughout our county, for all 3.3 million San Diegans. Most of all, I am pleased to have brought a brighter tomorrow for foster children, for mentally-ill people, for people who are sick with HIV, Dave AIDS or Alzheimer’s disease, for Roberts victims of domestic violence and for military veterans facing challenges upon their return to civilian life. It’s amazing what a bit of compassion and a few phone calls can accomplish. That and teamwork. I want to say thank you to our entire county team. All 17,000-plus of us. The hard work and dedication of this team is truly what makes this County great. Thank you to my colleagues: Chairman Ron Roberts, Vice Chairwoman Dianne Jacob, Supervisor Greg Cox and Supervisor Bill Horn. We’ve partnered together on various projects over the last four years and have been very successful. So much of what I have done here happened as a result of our collaboration on various projects. I want to thank our county team leader, Helen Robbins-Meyer, a great motivator who runs things with extraordinary skill and grace. Yours is tough job, but you make it look so easy. I want to thank my office staff: my chief Mel Millstein, who has done a phenomenal job, and my staffers: Evan Bollinger, Keith Corry, Janie Hoover, Adam Kaye, Nora May, Harold Meza, Tylisa Suseberry, Roberta Walker and Christian Luna. What can I say to these bright and hard-working people except thank you so much? And I also want to send a thank you to my

Seaweeder Tip for January: Selecting the right tree for your Solana Beach garden We can grow a wide variety trees from around the world here, but which ones actually belong in our individual gardens? Before you plant a tree, consider: •Do you want an evergreen to screen a view, to create cool deep shade; or a deciduous tree for light shade? Do you want color or fruit? • Anticipate the the mature size and shape of the tree: will it naturally be big or small, tall or wide? Will the tree you choose become a nuisance to neighbors by blocking sun or view? • Learn about its care: will it need a lot of water, pruning or cleanup? Will its roots have room to spread without damaging a patio or sidewalk? Choose wisely. A well-planted tree may last a lifetime – or more! For more green thumb tips, join the Solana Beach Garden Club at 6:30 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month (except July and August) at the Center for Healthy Living (yellow cottage) behind the Boys & Girls Club, 5 33 Lomas Santa Fe Drive.

family. I don’t think people realize how difficult these jobs are and how difficult they are on our families. I want to thank my spouse, Wally Oliver. He’s put up with a lot over the past four years. I appreciate that. And I want to thank our six wonderful kids, Robert (and his wife Jamie), Alex, Julian, Joe, Manny and our daughter, Natalee. I love each of my kids so very much and I look forward to starting a new chapter together with them. And finally, I want to thank the residents of the Third District for the opportunity to represent you. I will reflect with great pride and happiness on the many things that we have accomplished together. We are leaving the Third District and San Diego County better off than when we started four years ago. But a large part of that, and what I hope everybody realizes – it takes a team. I could do none of this myself. I want to thank everybody for that. And I just think of some of the projects, whether it was keeping Palomar Forensic Health Center open, where I partnered with Supervisor Horn. Our Think Local First initiative. Saving Webb Lake. I partnered with you, Mr. Chairman, on the Getting to Zero (for HIV/AIDS) initiative, which is going to be a great success. With Supervisor Jacob on the Purchase of Agricultural Conservation Easements and the Property Assessed Clean Energy programs. Again with Supervisor Horn on the Hawthorne Family and Veterans Resource Center. So many projects working together. San Diego County is in great shape. I look forward to a happy and healthy future. I wish all of you, including my successor, the best, and I want to thank all of you for the opportunity to serve with you for the past four years. Thank you!

Vision Research Symposium is ‘Eye Opening’

hen scientists attend scientific symposiums, they don’t typically present their “unfinished” work or interact with families directly impacted by the very diseases they are trying to cure. Yet that is exactly what happened at the 9th World Symposium on Vision Disorders hosted by The Vision of Children Foundation from Nov. 16-18 at The Grande Colonial in La Jolla. Rancho Santa Fe residents Sam and Vivian

Hardage established the Foundation in 1991 after their son was born with Ocular Albinism. At the time, there were no researchers studying this rare genetic vision disorder, for which there are no treatments and no cures. The Hardages were determined to encourage scientific research to find a cure for this congenital condition. Today, as it celebrates its 25th anniversary, Vision of Children is the SEE VISION, A18

FROM MEASURE, A1 The City Council is successful when it stays away from partisan issues and comes together to focus on Del Mar’s problems, said Sinnott. “This particular item worries me a great deal. It is a proposed resolution that is very damaging to the spirit of cooperation and accomplishment for this council and Del Mar,” said Sinnott. He scoffed at the idea that Del Mar residents need reassurance on these issues. “To my mind our residents are not snowflakes, needing therapy dogs and coloring books. They don’t need to worry that the sky is falling,” Sinnott said. But Worden and Haviland said citizens do want the city to take a position on these issues. “I think it’s important we let the rest of the

An additional $15,000 was provided by Santa Fe Christian Schools, with the proviso that its funds be earmarked for organizations that provide assistance to residents of Eden Gardens. The final $1,900 needed to fully fund this year’s grant requests came from the city’s public arts fund. The groups funded by this year’s grants, and the amounts, were: Assistance League of Rancho San Dieguito, $3,000; Boys and

community know the values of our city,” said Haviland. Worden said he tried to keep the politics out of his resolution, even avoiding the use of the term “sanctuary city,” a designation some cities have adopted to demonstrate their support for immigrants. “This was my attempt at just being as clear and direct as possible,” Worden said. “We will not do roundups, we will not do registries. It’s not advancing Democratic policies, these should be universal American policies.” Druker pointed out that 69 percent of Del Mar residents did not vote for Trump, meaning that they likely would approve of the points raised in the resolution. And city officials reported receiving 25 emails about the resolution, 23 in support and two against.

qualifying event in Chicago just for fun, Stuart qualified for the main event and decided it was an opportunity she could not pass up. So, while also getting her MBA (Master of Business Administration), she trained and then competed in the 1990 Ironman in Kona, Hawaii. As soon as she finished her MBA, Stuart immediately decided that she wanted to be a teacher instead, got her credential and began teaching in 1993. At the same time, she decided to put her athletic focus back on running, and returned to her Olympic Trials goal. Following years of working on her times, first just at the 10K distance and then eventually the marathon, Stuart qualified for the 1996 Olympic Trials. However, an injury during training affected her performance, so Stuart

FROM FAIR, A1 said Tuesday. Schenk said the county fair website will be updated with the new slogan as soon as possible. As of Tuesday, the former slogan, “How the West Was Fun,” was still prominently displayed on the website. According to Schenk, the original theme – approved by the 22nd DAA board in October – may have given the suggestion that the winning of the American West from Native Americans had been “fun.” That suggestion offended local Native Americans. “There was insufficient public review and participation in this decision. The logo is extremely offensive in light of the history and experience of genocide for the Kumeyaay Nation and other Native nations during the so-called settling of the west,” Angela Elliott Santos, tribal chairwoman of the Manzanita Band of the Kumeyaay Nation, wrote in a letter to the 22nd DAA that was also copied to the tribal adviser to Gov. Jerry Brown.

foremost organization in the world supporting research for Ocular Albinism and related vision disorders. The Foundation honored some local residents who have donated over the years, including Linda and Marc Edwards for their support of the Foundation’s Vision Hero Program, which features young visually-impaired people. Also recognized were Foundation board members Drs. Jacki and Ken Widder, Dr. Richard Schatz of Rancho Santa Fe, and Carmel Valley resident Dr. Greg Ostrow, director of pediatric ophthalmology at Scripps Health. The symposium, called “When Vision Becomes Reality,” was hailed as a “magnificent” experience of collaboration by scientists and family members. “The interaction among scientists made this conference extremely different from others,” said Dr. Stephan Tsang, from Columbia University Medical Center in New York. “Talking with the families made it even more meaningful, giving us the inspiration to persevere.” The top vision researchers from

Earlier, Schenk said, “When I read that (letter), my reaction was, I want to make sure we don’t disappoint any group that we respect and want to have come to the fair. I want to work with anyone who feels that we didn’t give adequate thought to the slogan.” At a board of directors meeting on Tuesday, Dec. 13, officials had been planning to introduce a new fair website, but that rollout was delayed while the issue regarding the fair theme and logo was resolved “There’s a new sheriff in town and it’s You, partner. Grab your cowboy hat, pull on your boots, and ride on over to this year’s San Diego County Fair as we celebrate the legendary rough-and-tumble Wild, Wild West,” reads the intro copy. The 2017 fair runs from June 2 through July 4. The fair logo includes a cowboy rearing back on a horse, framed by cactuses. Each year, fair officials develop a theme and logo and related marketing materials. Recent themes have included “Mad About the Fair,” relating to Alice in Wonderland, and “The Fab Fair,” celebrating the Beatles and other British invasion bands.

around the world discussed published and unpublished work. “Our main goal is to move the needle so we can improve how people see,” said Dr. Debora Farber, who is the Foundation’s Scientific Advisor and leads a team of researchers conducting groundbreaking work at UCLA Stein Eye Institute. Farber’s presentation on using byproducts of patients’ own stem cells to replace defective DNA and ultimately treat Ocular Albinism was met with much excitement. Just last month, Farber’s team announced the discovery of mutations in a second gene that can trigger this genetic vision disorder. The research, led by Dr. Alejandra Young, who also presented at the symposium, has major implications for better diagnosis and ultimately treatment for thousands of children. Basic science research is a critical step on the path to clinical treatment trials, Dr. Brian Brooks, from the National Eye Institute, noted in his presentation. Scientists at the symposium experienced the marvel of seeing their work translate into actual human benefit when Dr. Arlene Drack, from the University of Iowa, showed videos of the dramatic improvements in the

vision of children with Leber Congenital Amaurosis after gene therapy treatment. “Findings like these give us hope for a day in the not-so-distant future when many other vision diseases will be curable,” said Sam Hardage. Families impacted by vision disorders attended the scientific sessions and a special session that featured presentations by Dr. Ostrow, Molly McGinniss, a genetic counselor who works for Illumina in San Diego, and Dr. Rebecca Kammer, a low vision optometric specialist from Anaheim, Calif. “We are extremely thankful to all the symposium sponsors who enabled us to create a valuable experience for all the attendees,” said Vivian Hardage. The sponsors included the following San Diego-based families and corporations: Allergan Foundation, Bell Charitable Foundation, Epstein Family Foundation, Farrell Family Foundation, Grande Colonial La Jolla, Hornblower Cruises & Events, Isakow Family Foundation, Tamara and Roger Joseph, The Marine Room and San Diego Private Bank.

decided to give it another go in 2000, competing at the Trials in Sacramento that year. After placing in the 80s in 1996, Stuart finished 28th in 2000. Already teaching at Cardiff School and living in Encinitas at that point, Stuart took a break from competitive running to have her four kids — Torrey, 15; Morgan, 13; Ryan, 11; and 9 year-old Riley. Torrey, is a sophomore at San Dieguito Academy who runs cross country and track and joined her mother in running the recent Encinitas Turkey Trot. While raising her kids. Stuart still ran for fun, but didn’t have enough time for the training needed to stay competitive with the best in the world. But that changed in 2005. “After I turned 40, it was a totally different category, Masters running,” Stuart said. “It levels the playing field and it’s nice because it gives you new

goals to have. This is a sport you can do forever. Even if you’re not the fastest right now, the thing is consistency, because you can compete at any age.” She recently rejoined the San Diego Track Club, running with the Masters team to help her train for the World Masters event. Stuart likes to keep busy so in addition to her running, her career and her family, she also started the Junior Mavericks running club with a friend of hers — where she helps coach older elementary school kids and middle schoolers interested in track and cross country — and teaches spin class at the YMCA and Fitness Evolution in Encinitas. “Who knows, I might quit (running) and join pickle boarding next,” Stuart said with a laugh. “Or maybe standup paddle boarding.”

Schenk, who has served on the fair board on and off since 2003, could not recall a similar circumstance when the planned theme had offended a community group. The fair always includes an exhibit hall dedicated to the year’s theme, which is located near the entrance to the fairgrounds. Schenk said discussions had already been underway before the letter was received from the Manzanita band to include Native American history and culture in the themed exhibit. Those efforts to incorporate Native American cultural contributions into the exhibit will continue now that the theme issue has been resolved, Schenk said. Santos did not return phone messages from a reporter seeking comment. In her letter, she cited several books that chronicle the genocide that took place during the late 1800s in what is now the Western United States. One of the books was “Murder State: California’s Native American Genocide, 1846-1873,” by Brendan C. Lindsay. “In the second half of the nineteenth century, the Euro-American citizenry of

California carried out mass genocide against the Native population of their state, using the processes and mechanisms of democracy to secure land and resources for themselves and their private interests. The murder, rape, and enslavement of thousands of Native people were legitimized by notions of democracy — in this case mob rule — through a discreetly organized and brutally effective series of petitions, referenda, town hall meetings, and votes at every level of California government,” reads a description of the book, which was published by the University of Nebraska Press, on Amazon.com. Santos’ letter concluded, “The Kumeyaay Nation is interested in working with the Del Mar Fair to meet their mission objective by developing educational and interpretive programs to accurately display the heritage of the Kumeyaay Nation for the general public.” Schenk said the issue was resolved thanks to the prompt response by all parties. “We were able to come up with a slogan that pleases everyone,” he said.

But as the mail ballots continued to be tallied, Cochrane took the lead and the results were finally made official Dec. 8.

FROM SOLANA BEACH COUNCIL, A2 community’s character while making progress on a number of fronts. “I know I’m leaving this gem in capable hands,” she said. “I’m ready for the next chapter, what it is I have no idea yet. That’s the fun part.” Along with praise from members of the public and their council colleagues, both departing council members received proclamations from Third District County Supervisor Dave Roberts, himself a former Solana Beach councilman and mayor. Roberts attended Wednesday’s meeting and presented the framed proclamations to Zahn and Heebner, recognizing their service on the council. Roberts, who narrowly lost his re-election bid to Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar, will be stepping down soon from his seat on the county board. His last Board of Supervisors meeting took place earlier on Wednesday. Zito, seeking his second term on the council, led the field of six candidates with 3,820 votes. Edson came in second with 3,422, while Hegenauer came in third with 3,378 votes. Edson is a small business owner who also serves on the city’s View Assessment Commission. Hegenauer is a retired special education programs administrator with the California Department of Education, and a founding member of the Solana Beach Climate Action Commission.

FROM SEAWALL, A3 attorney Jon Corn, co-counsel with the Pacific Legal Foundation. The foundation represents The Beach & Bluff Conservancy, the group of coastal property owners who filed the suit. “We feel very gratified that he ruled in our favor on the two,” Corn said, adding that — if it stands — the ruling could have a statewide impact. Solana Beach City Manager Greg Wade declined to comment on the decision, saying, “It’s a preliminary ruling in ongoing litigation.” Seawalls have been a contentious issue in Solana Beach for decades. The city is built along two miles of coastline atop fragile bluffs of soft sandstone more than 60 feet tall. Erosion steadily eats away at the bluffs, and property owners want the right to build structures that will protect their homes. Dozens of seawalls and other bluff protection devices already exist, and owners often apply for permits to expand, reinforce, rebuild, or build new ones. Environmental groups and the California Coastal Commission, however, argue that armoring the bluffs prevents the natural erosion that eventually widens the beach and creates more public property. As a result, the city through its Land Use Plan and the state through its Coastal Act restrict the construction of bluff protection devices. The property owners are likely to appeal parts of the ruling that were in the city’s favor, said Larry Salzman, another attorney for the Pacific Legal Foundation. He said an appeal is likely to target the judge’s support of a prohibition on seawalls

for new development. “The city plan requires you to waive your right to a future seawall if you ask for a permit to build,” he said, adding that a similar requirement was struck down earlier this year in Orange County Superior Court. Salzman said the plaintiffs may also appeal the prohibition on new seawalls for homes that are rebuilt or improved, and the city’s requirement that owners give public access to private staircases as a condition of development permits. “If the city really needs public access to the beach, they can pay compensation,” Salzman said. Still, he said, the ruling is a step in the right direction because it allows seawalls for existing structures and allows the repair of damaged beach stairways. The Land Use Plan approved by the city in February 2013 is a key element of its proposed Local Coastal Program, which, if approved by the Coastal Commission, would give the city more local control of coastal development. Solana Beach is the only coastal city in San Diego County without an approved Local Coastal Program. Litigation has been a big obstacle to approval of a Local Coastal Program for Solana Beach, the city manager said. Pacific Legal Foundation is a nonprofit that promotes property rights and limited government. It also represents two Encinitas families in a lawsuit against the California Coastal Commission over the 20-year time-limit on seawall permits issued in that city. That case will be decided by the California Supreme Court. — Phil Diehl is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

Del Mar author pens ‘Edelweiss: Chronicle of a Del Mar Beach House 1885 to Now’

La Jolla Cultural Partners

hile she lived in Manhattan, Juliana Maxey-Allison wrote for “The New York Times Magazine,” “New York,” “Self,” “Ladies Home Journal,” and other publications. But after returning to the West Coast in 2004, she turned her talents to researching and writing about the history of the century-old house she had lovingly restored in the 1970s. In contemporary Southern California, where bulkier, more massive development can overwhelm or displace older residences, Edelweiss is one of three (soon to be just two) remaining original Del Mar houses. Published Dec. 6, Maxey-Allison’s “Edelweiss: Chronicle of a Del Mar Beach House 1885 to Now” reveals the backstory and the characters that make these originals so interesting and worth preserving, as it combines local history and memoir with tips on researching and revitalizing a vintage home. The book is available at Amazon.com. Mining her own family archives, unearthing old real estate records and relating what she found to what was going on in the wider world at the time, Maxey-Allison has put together a captivating tale of Edelweiss house and its people, from pioneers to celebrities. The story begins with the author’s first look at the Del Mar house in 1972, then doubles back to the origin of the cottage in 1885 and works forward from there. In the early 1880s, Jacob Taylor sized up the scrappy brush-covered site then called Weed, and gambled that trains would soon bring people to this spot on the San Diego County coast. Taylor, Del Mar’s first real estate developer, envisioned and built an extravagant tourist destination. The

COURTESY

The cover of “Edelweiss: Chronicle of a Del Mar Beach House 1885 to Now.” house at 227 10th Street was part of his dream made manifest. Maxey-Allison encountered the sagging, slouching, peeling “old Victorian beach cottage” almost a century later and couldn’t resist it. To support the author’s easy writing style, she and her editors at Dayton Publishing (Solana Beach) assembled the illustrations: pen-and-ink drawings by Seattle artist Abigail Maxey and others; black-and-white photos from the archives of the Del Mar Historical Society, the Library of

Congress and local newspapers; family snapshots of the renovation process; and pictures of Edelweiss today by photographer Elizabeth Zusev. At 80 pages, Edelweiss is shorter than other Del Mar histories — among the best-known, “Del Mar: Looking Back” by Nancy Ewing (the definitive source, 1988, 320 pages) and more recently “Del Mar Days, Book 1: People and Events” by Gene Schwartz (a collection of his newspaper columns from the 1980s and ’90s, 2016, 200 pages, with two more volumes to come in 2017). “Julie’s goal was different,” says publisher Linnea Dayton. “Rather than a comprehensive, information-packed reference, her book is a ‘bite-size’ local history that captures the feel of moving through Del Mar’s first century with the inhabitants of Edelweiss. The book introduces some intriguing mysteries.” Among them: how this Del Mar beach cottage got its Swiss-chalet look; why so many of its owners were women; and whether Edelweiss was really the hideaway of celebrities Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. in Del Mar’s star-studded 1920s and ’30s. “It’s a great read,” says Bob Gans, Del Mar Foundation’s president. “Even more important,” says Larry Brooks, president of the Del Mar Historical Society, “thank you, Julie for restoring Edelweiss for us instead of subjecting it to the omni-present California bulldozer.” Edelweiss is one of three remaining houses from Jacob Taylor’s original Del Mar. – Submitted press release

Expert to explain why things taste the way they do at Brandeis luncheon The San Dieguito Chapter of the Brandeis National Committee presents the annual outreach provided by Brandeis University, University on Wheels, at a luncheon at The Crossings in Carlsbad, Wednesday, Jan. 11 at 11 a.m. During each winter break, professors from the university travel the country, speaking to the chapters which financially support the Brandeis libraries and provide scholarships. This year, Dr. Don Katz of the Department of Psychology will present “Apples to Apples: Just an Illusion.” As he says, an apple looks like an apple and tastes like an apple, and so we know that it’s an apple. Or do we? Katz will explain why things taste the way they do, and how our brains discern “yummy” from “yuck.” More scientifically, it’s called gustatory perception – a neuroscience dealing with the taste of food. The Crossings is located at 5800 The Crossings Drive, at the Carlsbad Golf Course. The cost is $55 or $65 (partly tax deductible) to benefit the BNC Scholarship Campaign. For information or reservations, by Jan. 2, please call 858-487-1422.

She has imbued the series with her signature carefully-cultivated combination of traditional favorites flavored with surprises, such as Jake Heggie’s “The Work at Hand” and Victor Ullman’s “String Quartet No. 3,” composed in 1943 in the concentration camp Therensienstadt. “The Spotlight Series has been given even greater importance this year,” said Nancy Laturno Bojanic, Mainly Mozart’s executive director. “Spotlight concerts will bookend the 2017 Mainly Mozart Festival, serving as both the opening and closing concerts.” Year Two of the Mainly Mozart Festival’s six-year exploration of Mozart’s life focuses on “Finding His Voice: Beauty Through Adversity.” Mainly Mozart will open the 29th annual festival with a contemporary work that exemplifies this theme. “The Work at Hand,” commissioned by and premiered at Carnegie Hall, is by the late poet Laura Coleridge, daughter of San Diego poet and writer

Solana Beach Skate Night benefits skatepark fundraising effort

ulture Brewery hosted its first Solana Beach Skate Night recently to benefit the Solana Beach Skatepark fundraising effort. The Skate Night theme included the showing of an 1980s classic movie on their outdoor screen,”Gleaming the Cube,” starring Christian Slater. The film also included skate legends Tony Hawk and Mike McGill. The event was a huge success with many local residents coming out to support the planned Solana Beach Skatepark and meet skate legends Tony Hawk and Mike McGill. The event was also attended by other skate industry professionals. Fundraising efforts were supported by a raffle put on by the City of Solana Beach Parks & Recreation Commission and support from local board members of the Tony Hawk Foundation. Commissioners Linda Swindell, Rachel Collins, Peter McConville and Chris Hohn, along with Lenore Dale of the Tony Hawk Foundation, were all on hand to run the raffle sales and provide community information regarding the skatepark. Kids came out to support the event in full force,

including City Parks Junior Commissioners Jake Hernandez and Jadon Griffith. Deb Scherler of Solana Beach said, “This event was a great experience for the young boys who really felt part of the community.” This was particularly so for the amazing act of community giving shown by Wyatt Scherler and Diego Van Dyke, local 11-year-old skaters and creators of Flat Bar Gnar. These two boys created the “Flat Bar Gnar,” a skate wax, to sell with 100 percent of the proceeds to go to funding the Solana Beach Skatepark. Their plan is to put it in local skate shops to sell. The next upcoming event to support the Solana Beach Skatepark will take place on Dec. 27 at Belly Up Tavern on Cedros Avenue. That night’s show proceeds will be donated back to the skatepark. Tax deductible donations to the skatepark can be made online through the Coastal Community Foundation Solana Beach Skatepark fund at http://coastalfoundation.org/programs/solanabeach-skatepark-fund/ – Submitted press release

Season’s Eatings: When Christmas and Chanukah Converge

his year, Chanukah (or Hanukkah) coincidentally lands on the heels of Christmas. So when hungry Saint Nicholas arrives at the North Pole, he can munch on a variety of tasty latkes with assorted toppings, along with traditional Christmas fare, before he makes his chimney rounds. Since we’re a melting pot of cultures, there are many culinary crossovers that allow us to partake in the delights of all traditions. Here are some food highlights from the two major league winter festivals. Yes, it’s beginning to feel a lot like “Christmakah.”

From Eggnog to Yule Log

Christmas herbs and spices are the cornerstone of the holiday season. The latter come out of the pantry like gangbusters, especially cloves, nutmeg, cinnamon and ginger, while the herbs, equally as bold, including rosemary, sage, thyme, peppermint and lavender, dial up both sweets and savories. There are many options for a festive Christmas dinner from exotic fowls of goose, swan, pheasant and quail, to more traditional birds especially turkey, duck and Cornish hen. When there’s a “pork” in the road, choose grass-fed, immune-boosting rack of lamb or crown roast over fatty, sodium-laden ham. Or heart-healthy, mineral-rich sea

treasures, such as wild-caught salmon, Dungeness crab and deep-sea scallops. If you insist on the other white meat as the main attraction, then, it’s best to do a lean pork loin roast. Alas, desserts have a sinful amount of sugar, fat and carbs, some so dense they could double as weight-training devices. Fruitcake, anyone? Marzipan, plum pudding, mincemeat pie, gingerbread houses, and imports like panettone, stollen and buche de noel aka the Yule log are the glorious epitomes of the holiday season, and since they come but once a year, indulgences are permitted. Wash it down nicely with a wide range of cocktails and mocktails that scream Christmas cheer – from the traditional eggnog and hot apple cider, to creative concoctions, like a Gingerbread Man (butterscotch schnapps and Bailey’s Irish Cream) or a Mistletoe Martini (melon liquor, coconut rum, pineapple juice).

A Festival of Lights and Latkes

Jews celebrate Chanukah to commemorate the miracle in ancient times when Judah Macabee found a flask that contained enough oil to burn for eight days for the rededication ceremony of their desecrated

temple in Jerusalem. Candles held in a menorah are lit for eight days, and jelly doughnuts (sufganiyot) and potato pancakes or latkes symbolically fried in oil served with toppings of applesauce and sour cream are part of the traditional celebration. Put a refreshing new spin on the old Chanukah menu with trendy dishes, including this diverse latkes line-up: • A French twist combining golden Yukon potatoes with celery root, shallots and herbes de Provence, served with horseradish sour cream; • A taste of Italy with polenta and fresh basil, complemented by marinara sauce; • Shredded sweet potatoes with coconut milk and fresh ginger accompanied by curried Greek yogurt drizzle; • Vegetarian patties of porcini mushrooms, Jerusalem artichokes, or toasted quinoa with peach or apricot chutney; • A pescavore’s paradise of wild-caught salmon patties with Meyer lemon mayo; • Patriotic red, white and blue with redskin, russet and purple potatoes, served with all-American bbq sauce; • A dessert version of pureed chestnuts, honey and cinnamon with a tower of vanilla bean whipped cream. These can all be made with a healthier methodology by wrapping latkes in parchment paper and baking until crispy and golden. The cross-cultural Christmas latke (see recipe) blends potatoes with a confetti of red and green peppers, smothered in cinnamon-spiced applesauce and is sure to please all. — For additional holiday recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Don’t Let Thanksgiving Kick Off Holiday Overindulgence For many of us, Thanksgiving is a day to come together with family or friends around a table of the kind of comfort food and proportions we wait for all year. Feasting is often early, followed by pie, watching sports or movies, and then starting in again late in the evening for the round of leftover sandwiches. Second, third, and fourth servings of already-heaping portions are not unheard of. The truth is that, other than some indigestion and extreme circumstances of intestinal trauma, there is nothing wrong with occasional overindulgence of holiday overeating. While gorging on gargantuan

platefuls spread over several hours is not the best thing you can do for your body, overeating on one day will not harm you. Most of the food (and calories) will be gone from your system in a few days, and aside from some salt retention and swelling, you’ll be good to go with no lingering physical effects. The health problems arise, however, when people see Thanksgiving as the unofficial kickoff to holiday overindulgence. There are multiple religions and cultures that collectively celebrate nearly 30 holidays between November and mid-January. Regardless of belief or affiliation, there are work-related events and gift-exchanges and myriad sweets, food trays, candy trays, as well as cookie exchanges that start magically appearing the day after Thanksgiving. There are marathon home baking sessions. And as the weather cools, coziness is encouraged; December is nothing without images of people nestled by the fire—with food and drink abounding. But don’t get trapped into this cycle of holiday overindulgence. So often, the cliché is that you can

justify your holiday overeating by telling yourself you’ll start fresh with a diet and exercise plan in the new year. And indeed, many gyms make a killing off these good intentions. Here are the astounding statistics: 12% of new gym memberships start in January, when attendance is up overall somewhere between 33% and 50%, the highest point being the second week of January. However, by February, a staggering 80% of the New Year’s Resolution makers has dropped off. In fact, when gyms sell memberships, the business model is that only 18% of the members are expected to use their memberships—for longer than a month. Therefore, there is only a 1-in-5 chance that you will follow through with your New Year’s Resolution to take off the holiday overindulgence weight put on. And even if you manage to take off a few pounds, the data keep revealing that most holiday weight gain does not come off, and instead accumulates each year. The truth is that one month of overindulging can sabotage your health. It is hard to lose weight after gaining

it suddenly, and it’s even harder to keep it off, especially as you age. This added weight puts strain on your vascular system. Belly fat puts pressure on your abdominal aorta, and it is harder for your veins to pump the blood back up from your feet. Other than genetics, this is the most common cause of varicose veins. The other problem is that the weight gain decreases mobility, and at this point, getting the necessary exercise has been a problem so far. Decreased mobility on top of weight gain is a recipe for vein disease, which is not served only for the holidays. So I urge you to practice moderation throughout the coming month. Keep track of the food that you’re eating, and be wary of the holiday food trays and candy exchanges. Don’t be afraid to regift the sweets you get if you’re afraid it will sabotage your health. But as for Thanksgiving? Go ahead. It’s one day. Pass the gravy.

Shelter to Soldier launches ‘Shop for a Cause’ Shelter to Soldier has launched its online store, “Shop for a Cause,” featuring logo apparel and gifts, from which 100 percent of all net proceeds will benefit this nonprofit organization. Just in time for the festive holiday gift-giving season, a 10 percent discount will be offered on all website purchases by entering coupon code “holidays” when checking out. The online promotion will take place during the month of December and up to Jan. 2, 2017. Shelter to Soldier is a nonprofit organization that adopts dogs from shelters and trains them to become psychiatric service dogs for post-9/11 combat veterans suffering from Post Traumatic Stress (PTS), Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) and other injuries associated with combat service experiences. According to Shelter to Soldier Founder Graham Bloem, “The online store is a way to generate consistent sustainable revenue for the charity as well as provide a great platform for continued awareness.” Bloem states that while the main mission at Shelter to Soldier is to provide service dogs to veterans in need, creating awareness about rescue dogs and veteran suicide is just as important. “The apparel line is available to all supporters nationwide, expanding the awareness…it is a dream come true. We’re very excited to be launching our store during the holiday season for everyone to take part in giving back with each and every purchase.” The online store includes Shelter to Soldier logo wear for both ladies and gentleman (t-shirts, tank tops, and caps), as well as a variety of logo accessories and gifts (insulated beverage cups, magnets and window clings).

National Association of Realtors’ Military Relocation Professional Certification awarded to Nancy Ghanem Nancy Ghanem, with Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty, has been awarded the nationally recognized Military Relocation Professional Certification. The National Association of Realtors awards the MRP certification to Realtors who help military personnel, veterans and their families find housing that lets them make the best use of their benefits and serves the unique needs of military life. When military staff and their families relocate after receiving their PCS, finding the services of a real estate professional who understands their needs and timetables can make the transfer to a CONUS or OCONUS easier, faster and less stressful. Realtors who earn this certification know how to work with active duty military buyers and sellers, as well as veterans. “Service members may only have a couple of days to view properties and make an offer, and others might be deployed at the time and need someone who can represent them while they’re away. Working with a Realtor who understands the singular complications that arise with military service can help make the home buying process simpler, faster and less stressful,” said, Nancy Ghanem, Broker-Associate with Pacific Sotheby’s

International Realty in Del Mar. “The MRP certification lets home buyers and sellers know that a Realtor knows the ins and outs of military housing benefits, such as zero-down payment loans, and the specific needs service members and veterans have when searching for their new home.” The certification provides NAR’s members with resources to accommodate current and former military service members at any stage of their military career and is an approved elective for NAR’s Accredited Buyers Representative designation. To earn the MRP certification, Realtors must be in good standing with NAR; complete the MRP Certification Core Course; complete a reading providing background information on the military, included acronyms and understanding military culture; and complete two webinars. As an experienced REALTOR, Nancy brings a wealth of knowledge, top quality service and unparalleled expertise to Pacific Sotheby’s International Realty. Nancy serves active duty military and retired vets throughout San Diego and Orange Counties, working with both buyers and sellers. For more information, please contact Nancy at (760) 845-4133 or nancy.ghanem@sothebysrealty.com. Visit pacificsothebysrealty.com.
