Parents push to allow transfers if teachers don’t meet student needs BY KAREN BILLING Several San Dieguito Union School District parents are requesting a new district policy that would allow students to transfer out of a class because of teacher preference, recognizing that one size doesn’t fit all and that sometimes a change is in order to ensure a student’s needs are met.
As parent Korri Ball stated at the Feb. 5 board meeting, the changes aren’t meant for students to switch on a whim, but only if there’s a clear personality conflict or if a teacher is not teaching up to the district’s standards. According to Michael Grove, associate superintendent of educational services, the district does not allow

BY KAREN BILLING The question of whether the San Dieguito Union High School District’s high school enrollment study group meetings should be open to the public came up during the board’s Feb. 5 meeting. A column by Marsha Sutton in this newspaper challenged the legality of the group’s process and sparked concerns among trustees Maureen “Mo� Muir and John Salazar, who said he was “disappointed in the district.� The high school enrollment study group has been working since November to explore the district’s options after several parents opposed the high school lottery enrollment process at San Dieguito High School Academy and Canyon Crest Academy. “We need to let parents in every meeting and be upfront and open about everything happening in the district,� Muir said. Michael Grove, associate superintendent of educational services, said they have heard comments that the district is not being responsive, although the entire process was in response to concerns about the district’s practices and is a way to gather public input. “Some are unhappy with the way we’re doing it. We’re examining different options and will be seeking public input,� Grove said. After the recent column by Marsha Sutton questioned the legality of having the meeting closed to the public as well as members of the press, Grove said the district sought legal advice and was told that the meetings do not have to be open because there’s not a quorum of board members, and it’s an ad-hoc, temporary group with no decision-making ability or authority. “I’ve not had a single person contact the district and ask to attend who wasn’t on the group,� Grove said. “We haven’t been See ENROLLMENT, page 24

Del Mar council continues to look at city’s parking problems and solutions BY KRISTINA HOUCK The Del Mar City Council is continuing to take steps toward a citywide parking management plan. In January, staff unveiled an 85-page plan outlining strategies to improve parking in the downtown commercial area. At that time, council members Terry Sinnott and Dwight Worden agreed to review the document and report back to their colleagues within 30 days. At the Feb. 2 meeting, Sinnott and Worden briefly presented a three-page document that defined success and established goals for a comprehensive parking plan. Such a plan would cover the whole city and accommodate employees, cusSee PARKING, page 18
SB City Council delays decision on revised Eden Gardens project BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although several neighbors spoke in favor of the proposed Eden Gardens mixed-use development, the Solana Beach City Council Jan. 28 once again decided to postpone the project’s fate to a later date. The proposed project aims to transform an abandoned lot at 636 Valley Ave. into office space and three townhomes. After reviewing revised project plans, the council continued the public hearing to the Feb. 25 meeting. When developers initially presented the project in July 2013, it included an office or retail space and four dwelling units on the more-than-10,800-squarefoot lot. The building heights varied from See EDEN GARDENS, page 21

SDUHSD hires underwriters for next bond issue High school district clarifies use of leaseleaseback method for its construction projects BY KAREN BILLING BY KAREN BILLING At its Feb. 5 meeting, the San Dieguito Union High School District was set to approve the use of the lease-leaseback method for two upcoming district construction projects. Parent Steven McDowell objected to the lease-leaseback agreements being part of the board’s consent calendar. “You want to be more transparent to the community and give the public the opportunity to speak on it,” McDowell said. McDowell said he had concerns that the projects were using the lease-leaseback method and not going out for competitive bid. He said he hoped for a discussion on the pros and cons of the lease-lease back method versus a competitive bid process. The board agreed to pull the items from consent to be discussed. With the lease-leaseback method, a school district has the flexibility to select a contractor not just by the lowest bid, but on the ability to complete the project. The property is then leased to the contractor, usually for a low amount. The contractor then builds the project and leases the property back to the school district. Eric Dill, associate superintendent of business services, said that the district issues a request for proposals for construction managers and conducts a competitive process to select one. Dill said there is also a competitive process with lease-leaseback that is built into the contract, noting that the construction manager receives three to five bids per trade
contract. Dill said the biggest benefit of the lease-leaseback method is the guaranteed maximum price. Going into the program, the district agrees on the maximum amount they are going to pay and the construction management company has the incentive to get it done on time. With a contractor, the district assumes responsibility for delays and change orders that all must be board-approved and can cause a three- to four-week delay due to board meeting schedules. Dill said trades can back up and a six-month project can instead take 12 months. “With lease-leaseback, it’s all handled within the guaranteed maximum price, and the construction manager continues to move the project forward and keep it within what we’ve established will be paid,” Dill said. “The protection of the lease-leaseback helps make sure we do what we’ve set out to do and not burn dollars.” Board member Amy Herman said when she first began on the board, she had never heard of lease-leaseback, but has seen how effective it has been. She said she is glad it is an option for the district. “It’s worked really well,” Herman said. “Projects come in under budget and on time, and provide facilities for our students, which is our No. 1 priority.” The board voted to approve lease-leaseback agreements with Byrum Davey Inc. for athletic field improvements at the La Costa Valley site, expected to be complete in fall See PROJECTS, page 30
At its Feb. 5 meeting, the San Dieguito Union High School District board appointed two firms for underwriting services for their Prop AA series B issuance. Eric Dill, associate superintendent of business services, recommended that the district go with a negotiated sale, as it did with its first issuance, and use two underwriters rather than one. With two underwriters, Dill said he thinks that opens the market to a wider scope of investors. With the negotiated sale, the board also has control over the date of sale and can be reactive to market conditions. Dill said the district is also saving on underwriter costs by having an underwriting discount not to exceed .2 percent, rather than .6 percent. He said it would represent a savings of about $260,000.
The board approved hiring Stifel, Nicolaus & Company and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC. The hiring of Stifel, Nicolaus was not unanimous; the vote was 4-1 with John Salazar voting against it. “You’ve certainly convinced me that a negotiated sale will be better,” Salazar said. “I think having two underwriters is a wonderful idea, but the other company invested in the bond campaign, so I’m stuck with not voting for (Stifel, Nicolaus & Company).” At a board workshop on March 5, the board is scheduled to discuss the size and structure of the proposed bond series, go over a financial analysis of total costs and review projects that will be funded within the issuance. The board is then slated to authorize issuing bonds at the March 19 meeting. The sale of the bonds is expected to occur in April.
La Jolla doctor dies in rollover crash near Del Mar Prominent La Jolla doctor Philip Young died Feb. 4 after after his white Toyota Prius rolled over on a road east of Del Mar. Police say the 74-year-old OB-GYN was the only motorist in the area as he drove eastbound on Via de la Valle near El Camino Real. His car suddenly jerked left, crossing the westbound lanes, hitting the dirt shoulder and flipping. Young died at the scene after suffering a severe head injury, police say. Police are still investigating the crash, though they say they have ruled out drugs or alcohol as a cause. Young also taught at UC San Diego’s School of Medicine. — Staff Reports

Fair board approves award of $500 gift cards to employees BY JOE TASH The agency that operates the stateowned Del Mar Fairgrounds expects to spend $70,000 to $75,000 on a program to reward its employees for their hard work under a proposal approved unanimously Tuesday, Feb. 10, by the agency’s board of directors. Under the Superior Accomplishment Award Program, each of the agency’s 172 permanent employees is eligible to receive a gift card worth up to $500 for his or her work at the fairgrounds in 2014. The program is the same one suspended in 2012, when officials with the California Department of Food and Agriculture said they were concerned the awards did not comply with state regulations. But Tim Fennell, CEO and general manager of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the fairgrounds, said the situation has changed since 2012. “There was a sensitivity because of the financial challenges the state was facing. Now the governor has us back on track,” Fennell said. In a report to the board, Fennell pointed to the district’s financial performance as justification for the award program. In 2014, he said, the district had revenue of just under $70 million, plus another $30 million or more from horse racing income. The district’s net revenue last year, or revenue over expenses, was $2.09 million, or $1.4 million over budget. That success, he said, is due to the work of fairgrounds staff. “You won’t find another fairgrounds in California or possibly North America that can claim (those results),” Fennell said. “You treat people fair and square and recognize their efforts and they will give you 110 percent.” While managers will decide which em-
ployees will receive the gift cards, which will be for gasoline or retail stores, Fennell said he expects most of the district’s eligible workers to get the full amount. Neither Fennell nor deputy GM Becky Bartling are eligible for the awards. Fennell will write a letter to the CDFA officials to let them know about the board’s action, and asking them to let the 22nd DAA know of any objections. “It’s not going to be a situation where we ask forgiveness, we’re going to be asking for permission,” said Fred Schenk, the board’s president, in an interview before the meeting. But Schenk said he believes employees deserve the acknowledgment of their work. “We view this as an opportunity to express our appreciation in a nominal way,” Schenk said. “For reaching beyond the goals we set for them.” In an email, Steve Lyle, a spokesman for CDFA, said Feb. 10 the agency didn’t have enough information about the proposal to respond to a reporter’s inquiry about it. According to Fennell’s report, the 22nd DAA received approval of the program from CDFA in 1998, and the program was in place from 1999 through 2007. No awards were given in 2008 due to the Great Recession and a steep decline in revenue at the 22nd DAA. The program resumed in 2009 and 2010, but was suspended for two years in early 2012 at the request of CDFA. The 22nd DAA board approved a resumption of the program in 2014, based on the district’s financial performance in 2013. Although the district notified the CDFA, the district did not receive any objections last year, 22nd DAA officials said. Fennell told the board he hopes to distribute this year’s awards to employees within the next 30 days, pending a response from the CDFA.
Scouts defend hike to nudists’ beach • Organization’s council says proper protocols were observed BY JOEL HOFFMANN, SPECIAL TO THE CV NEWS/DM TIMES/SB SUN The local Boy Scouts of America organization is defending a Rancho Santa Fe Cub Scout pack after a nature hike exposed a group of young boys to a nude beach. The leadership of the San Diego-Imperial Council of the Boy Scouts of America issued a statement in response to the incident, saying leaders quickly changed routes to move the boys away from the “inappropriately dressed” beachgoers. “Following the trip, both San Diego-Imperial Council and Pack leadership met with parents to discuss the events and determine if further action was needed,” said Karl Shelton, a spokesman for the council. “Together we concluded that proper protocol had been observed and appropriate steps were taken in this matter.” The Jan. 24 hike along Torrey Pines State Beach led the group to a state-owned stretch of Black’s Beach where a nude sunbathing group called Black’s Beach Bares often congregates. The California Department of Parks and Recreation does not strictly enforce rules that require beachgoers to wear clothing. “Clothing optional recreation requires constant defense, because people often misunderstand and try to outlaw it,” the nudist group says on its website. “Black’s is not a perfect beach, but we try to make it better. We like our beach to be litter free. We like to be able to reach a clothing optional environment without excessive risk to our lives.” The group also notes on its website that there are “no easy ways” to get to the beach. It has published step-by-step directions and a photographic guide to reaching the beach by land and water, including a route through Torrey Pines State Park. The clothing-optional stretch of Black’s Beach is approximately 2 miles south of the park entrance, and it’s about a mile long. The route to the beach includes a “disputed area” known as Mussel Mesa, according to the group’s guide. “If you don’t cover the usual body parts in this area, you risk a citation,” the group notes. Beachgoers can take off their clothes after they pass a steel buoy 100 yards from Mussel Mesa. The Boy Scouts council had not responded to U-T San Diego’s questions about why the hiking route was chosen by the time this article was written. Lloyd Johnson, known informally as the mayor of Black’s Beach, said he sees no problem with the hike. He told the U-T he has seen a lot of wildlife at the beach, including birds and fish and squirrels. “There are even fossils on the beach,” he said. “I think it is a great place to take Boy Scouts.”

Del Mar Fairgrounds expects to net more than $1 million from music festival BY JOE TASH A three-day music, wine and gourmet food festival, planned for Sept. 18-20 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, is expected to generate more than $1 million in revenue for the agency that operates the state-owned facility. In addition, the KAABOO Festival will provide an economic boost for local hotels, restaurants and other businesses, said Tim Fennell, CEO and general manager of the 22nd District Agricultural Association.
The 22nd DAA board approved a $1.95 million contract with Horse Power Entertainment LLC, the festival’s organizer, at its meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 10. Fennell said that after expenses for security and other services, the district’s net revenue from food and beverage sales, parking and other sources should total more than $1 million. Fennell said some 100,000 people are expected to attend the three-day event, making it the third largest in California after the Coachella and Stagecoach music festivals.
An announcement of the lineup of musical performers will be made on Feb. 23, according to the festival’s web site. An email to festival organizers seeking comment was not returned by press time. The inaugural KAABOO Festival had been planned for 2014, but was postponed until this year. A 22nd DAA board member said Feb. 10 that organizers could seek to expand the festival to two weekends in 2016.

The San Diego Coastal Chambers of Commerce will host a community event regarding identity theft from 11:45 a.m.-1 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 17, at the Fish Market in Del Mar/Solana Beach. Jesse Navarro from the San Diego District Attorney’s office will be the guest speaker. ID theft has been called the fastest-growing crime in America. It remains, however, difficult to quantify for a number of reasons. Many states do not have a specific ID theft statute. Even when such a statute exists, as in California, the definition of ID theft often varies from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. The format of crime reporting can easily overlook cases, and many victims never report it to police. Lunch will be served. Cost is $25 prepaid or $35 at the door. For tickets, visit www. sandiegocoastalchamber.com.
Dave Roberts, vice chairman of the county Board of Supervisors, has earned a state-level appointment through the California State Association of Counties. The appointment to the California State Controller’s Advisory Committee on County Accounting Procedures came by way of a nomination from the association of counties. State Controller Betty Yee confirmed Roberts’ appointment this week. “At the County of San Diego, we take great pride in our balanced budgets, AAA bond rating and capital program that keeps borrowing to a minimum,” Roberts said. “My participation on this state panel will only strengthen our financial management.” The 10-member advisory committee acts upon revisions to the controller’s standards and procedures manual for counties. Those revisions keep the document current and in line with generally accepted accounting principles. For state officials, the manual simplifies analyses of county financial reports by minimizing differences between counties’ methods and terminologies. Roberts earned a master’s degree in public financial management and worked as a financial analyst for the Department of Defense. He studied accounting at Georgetown University. As CSAC’s second vice president, Roberts said he welcomed the appointment as another leadership opportunity. “San Diego is getting a lot of clout statewide through CSAC,” he said, “and that will only increase through my work with the controller’s office.”

Sharing life with bipolar disorder helps DM man help others BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although World Bipolar Day is March 30, Roger Alsabrook raises awareness about bipolar disorder to eliminate social stigma every day. As the founder and leader of a Del Mar-based, peer-facilitated support group for those with depression or bipolar disorder, Alsabrook offers advice to people living with mental illness. He also encourages them to share their stories with their family and friends. “This is my story, but I’m encouraging people with bipolar to come out and participate,” Alsabrook said. “Tell people about having bipolar. See how much you can help others.” Originally from Dallas, Alsabrook was misdiagnosed with major depressive disorder when he was in his 20s. For about two decades, he tried roughly a dozen different antidepressants that didn’t work. Alsabrook wasn’t properly diagRoger Alsabrook of Del nosed with bipolar disorder until he was in his late 40s. “When I finally got bipolar meds, my mood went from Mar: ‘Tell people about being very low and very manic to in the middle,” said Alsa- having bipolar (disorder). brook, now 68. “That’s where I’ve stayed ever since, and my See how much you can life changed.” help others.’ Before he was properly diagnosed, Alsabrook said he struggled financially, lost friends and alienated family members. Once he started taking the correct medications, he was able to make sound investments and ask for forgiveness from his family. “They needed to know my pre-medicated actions were because I was bipolar,” said Alsabrook, who worked in the oil and gas industry. After he retired, Alsabrook and his wife permanently moved to their Del Mar vacation home, where they’ve lived for almost a decade. “Now than I am medicated and have been medicated for a long time, I am a functioning part of society. I just think people need to know there are functioning, medicated people with bipolar.” Although Alsabrook was diagnosed with bipolar disorder years ago, he spent most of his life hiding his diagnosis from extended family and friends. At 65, he decided to change that. “I kept it hidden. I never brought it up because of the connotation,” said Alsabrook, who has two adult children and seven grandchildren. “Finally, I said, ‘I’m too old. I’m not going to hide it anymore. I’m not going to keep it in.’” Alsabrook began sharing his story with others. People positively received his revelation
and had questions, he said. “It was such a relief,” he recalled. “It has helped me so greatly, and I’ve helped other people by doing something that was hard.” Today, Alsabrook is someone others struggling with depression or bipolar call for support. When actor and comedian Robin Williams, who had a long history of depression, committed suicide in August, a few people reached out to Alsabrook for advice. At one time, he too, struggled with suicidal thoughts, he said. “It’s important to have somebody to call,” he said. “I might have saved two or three lives.” Four years ago, Alsabrook discovered the San Diego chapter of the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance, which meets from 6-8 p.m. Mondays and Thursdays at the VA San Diego Medical Center in La Jolla. Alsabrook soon became a board member and trained facilitator. The Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance has North County groups in Escondido, Rancho Bernardo, San Marcos and Vista. Last year, Alsabrook launched a group for Del Mar and surrounding communities. He said he started the group because few people from Del Mar, Solana Beach, Carmel Valley and the surrounding communities participated in the San Diego group. “I know there are people in North County who need support,” Alsabrook said. “Depression and bipolar affects many people.” Major depression is one of the most common mental disorders in the United States, according to the National Institute of Mental Health. In 2012, an estimated 16 million, or about 6.9 percent of American adults, had at least one major depressive episode. Bipolar disorder affects approximately 5.7 million, or about 2.6 percent of American adults. The Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance was created for and is led by individuals living with mood disorders to support others living with mood disorders. There are more than 700 peer-run support groups in the U.S. The Del Mar chapter of the Depression and Bipolar Support Alliance meets from 2-4 p.m. every third Tuesday at Pacifica Del Mar in the Del Mar Plaza. Meetings are free and all are welcome. No reservations are required. “There is a light at the end of the tunnel,” Alsabrook said. “I’ve seen people from week to week get better.” For information about the Del Mar meetings, contact Alsabrook at 858-525-1509 or rogeralsabrook@yahoo.com.

‘Deep Down Dark’: Tale of 33 trapped Chilean miners ultimately about love and family BY JOE TASH The 33 miners were working underground in Chile in August 2010 when the unthinkable happened: With a horrible roar and rumble, the interior of the mine collapsed, entombing the men some 2,000 feet below the surface of the earth. The men would later say that the collapse hit them “as a roar of sound, as if a massive skyscraper were crashing down behind them … The metaphor is more than apt,” writes author Hector Tobar in “Deep Down Dark.” “The vast and haphazard structure of the mine, improvised over the course of a century of entrepreneurial ambition, is finally giving way. A single block of diorite (stone), as tall as a forty-five-story building, has broken off from the rest of the mountain and is falling through the layers of the mine …” Tobar’s 2014 book chronicles the mine’s collapse, the harrowing 17 days the miners spent underground before the world knew whether they were alive, and their miraculous rescue 69 days after they
were trapped. A Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and novelist, Tobar was the featured speaker recently at the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society, held at The Grand Del Mar Resort. The book was compiled after hundreds of hours of interviews with the 33 miners and their friends and relatives, along with videos shot underground before and during the rescue, as well a diary kept by one of the miners. In an interview, Tobar, who lives in Los Angeles with his wife and three children, said he traveled to Chile five times in the course of his research, and worked on the book for about three years. He also worked with the producers of a film about the miners, called “The 33,” which is scheduled for release this August, the fifth anniversary of the mine’s collapse. The film will star Antonio Banderas, Juliette Binoche and Lou Diamond Phillips, among others. For the first 17 days, the miners were trapped in darkness with only a few packages of cookies and tins of tuna to sustain them, To-
RSF Literary Society President Candace Humber, author Hector Tobar, chapter leader Kelly Colvard. Photo by McKenzie Images bar said. Their only light came from the lamps of their helmets, and the headlights of a few vehicles trapped with them. They had water, thanks to supply lines and tanks installed for the mine’s operation, but didn’t know when or whether they would be rescued. By the time a drill broke through the ceiling of a tunnel close to them, they were nearly starved. Overjoyed, the men banged on the pipe that contained the drill bit to communicate their pres-

ence to the outside world. “Dios existe,” said one of the men, according to Tobar’s account. “God exists.” Tobar, whose parents were working-class immigrants from Guatemala, found the miners intelligent and down-to-earth, although they were traumatized by their ordeal. “I identified with them completely. I don’t think there’s that much difference between them and me,” said Tobar, a fluent Spanish speaker who worked in both South America and Mexico
City as a reporter for the Los Angeles Times. “These guys went through something akin to a war,” he said, and the experience left its mark on their psyches. “It wouldn’t let go of them. They constantly have relapses,” he said. While the government of Chile has awarded all 33 men a monthly pension of about $600, most have gone back to work, the majority into surface jobs in the mining industry. At least three went back to underground mining, although one soon quit because he suffered flashbacks of the mine collapse, Tobar said. Adjusting to life after their rescue — the men were carried individually to the surface in a specially designed capsule called the Phoenix — was difficult, because of the trauma they suffered and their newfound celebrity. Tobar captured their conflicted feelings in this quote from Edison Peña, one of the trapped miners: “All the evenness of life, the ‘light’ part of it, really stunned me. It shocked me to see people walking around, living normally. It shocked me because I would say, ‘Hey, where I come from it isn’t like that. I come from a place where we were fighting desperately to live.’ I came out to life and I found this s--called peace. It threw me off. It threw a lot of us off.” One of the things that struck Tobar, he said, was how, during their ordeal, the miners thought mostly about their loved ones above them on the surface. Tobar said his own experience working on the book “reaffirmed my faith in family and familial love. That’s really what the book ends up being about.” He made a conscious decision not to shy away from the personal stories of the lives of the miners and their families, no matter how complex and messy their entanglements and dramas. “I didn’t make them into heroes, I didn’t make them into victims,” he said. “I made them into who they were.” For more information, visit www.hectortobar.com. “Deep Down Dark” is available at Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble (and Barnes&Noble.com), among other outlets.

New manager on board at DM Farmers Market BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although Ana Nieto is the new manager of the Del Mar Farmers Market, she’s a familiar face. The Del Mar resident has frequented the market since moving to the community a year ago. “This is an exciting opportunity,” said Nieto, whose official first day was Feb. 7. “The Del Mar Farmers Market is such an important part of the community.” Originally from Madrid, Spain, Nieto most recently lived in Long Island, where she launched several farmers markets. One of the markets Nieto started was the Fair Foods Market in Sag Harbor, which she said is comparable Former Del Mar Farmers Market Manto Del Mar’s, but not year-round. ager Rita Meier and Ana Nieto. Nieto “Ana is the perfect person for the job,” said Del Mar resident and former market manager started Feb. 7 as the market’s new Rita Meier, who headed the market for two manager. years. “She’s very personable and has a lot of energy.” Approaching its 30th anniversary, the Del Mar Farmers Market is one of the longestrunning farmers markets in San Diego County. Founded in 1986, the certified and nonprofit market operates year-round from 1-4 p.m. every Saturday in the Del Mar City Hall lower parking lot, just off Camino del Mar between 10th and 11th streets. The market offers more than 30 organic and pesticide-free fruits, vegetables, baked goods, meat and seafood vendors. “We don’t really have a grocery store in walking distance,” said Nieto, who is also the founder of two health and wellness businesses. “This is the only grocery store we have downtown. The community has supported this market in a way that makes it continue and run smoothly.” In addition to serving as the new manager of the Del Mar Farmers Market, Nieto is a nutrition specialist, dance instructor and theatrical producer. After moving to the United States 20 years ago, Nieto, who holds a nursing degree, lived in New York City where she opened a personal training studio. She still works with some of her clients via Skype. As the new manager, Nieto wants to widen the market’s weekly vendor selection. She also hopes to collaborate with local organizations and participate in community events. “I’ve always been a fan of farmers markets and the local farming community,” she said. “It’s good to know where your food comes from. It’s all about health and wellness.” For more about Nieto, visit turtleshellhealth.com. For more about the Del Mar Farmers Market, visit www.delmarfarmersmarket.org.

The TRUTH about One Paseo
It’s time to talk
FACTS
MYTH #9: One Paseo will be a max of 1.45 million square feet with buildings capped at 150 feet tall.
FACTS:
You can stop THIS One Paseo. Here’s how: 1
I find the bulk and scale ... a serious argument here. I mean, these are big buildings. If this were on the corner of Genesee and La Jolla Village Drive, I would have no problem with it, but that’s an urban center and it’s got a context of this.

– Tim Golba, Chairman, City of San Diego Planning Commission
One Paseo as proposed would allow development at the site to reach 2.1 million square feet with buildings up to 180 feet tall, requiring no additional City Council approval. One Paseo towers will be over 100 feet taller than most of the nearby office buildings and two-story homes. Immense buildings will cast shadows over the community.

Sage Canyon’s Safety Patrol wins award for work keeping drivers in line BY KAREN BILLING The Sage Canyon School Safety Patrol works hard every school day, making sure students can safely cross the street before and after the bell rings. The group was recently recognized for their efforts with a special Best Safety Patrol Award from the San Diego Police Department’s Northwestern Division. Sixth-grader Keller Elswick was also nominated for Major, which is the highest rank achievable in the Safety Patrol. “We keep kids and parents safe,� Keller said. The San Diego Police Department established Safety Patrol in 1935. Juvenile services team officers train and supervise the students to control pedestrian and vehicle traffic and report traffic violations. The 25 students on the patrol work drop-off and pick-up time at school in their red uniforms, armed with whistles and longarmed stop signs. “The students work tirelessly and have a good time serving,� said teacher adviser Shawna Friedemann. The work isn’t always easy. Sixth-grader Zander Samarasinghe said even though they are young patrol officers, they have been yelled at by adult drivers. A woman once yelled at Zander for not letting her go; he responded calmly as he was trained to do, and took down her license plate number for a citation to give to San
Diego Police officers. Repeat offenders can get notices from the police officers. “I’m helping out the school,� said Zander. “A lot of the younger kids look up to me.� Sixth-grader Shayan Azmoodeh shared Zander’s view about taking their role seriously and making sure people follow the rules and that everybody stays safe. “I like to be responsible, and I like being like a police officer because we help a lot of people,� Shayan said. Every Tuesday they meet for inspection with the police officers, lining up and getting advice on what they can improve. “I wanted to do it because it’s fun, and all the little kids look up to you,� said sixthgrader Taylor Ang. “It’s fun to be in control in the crosswalk.� Taylor said sometimes people don’t obey their stop signs and want to speed through. She said there have been times when kids have come close to being hit. She said after school, when she’s trying to wave parents through, she also notices a lot of parents talking or texting on their cellphones and not paying attention. “Nothing has ever happened, so I guess that’s pretty good,� Taylor said. Taylor said her advice for people driving near school zones is to drive the speed limit, drive carefully and stay off their cellphones.

SB soccer star heads to University of Notre Dame BY ROB LEDONNE Hanging in Torrey Pines High School senior Ian Aschieris’ bedroom is a memento he’s kept since he was a child. “It’s one of those Thanksgiving frames that you paint in school and write what you’re thankful for,” he said on a recent Monday evening. “Mine says, ‘I’m thankful soccer.’ It doesn’t even include the word ‘for’ — that’s how young I was and how long I knew this was a path I wanted to go down.” Aschieris, who lives in Solana Beach, is well on his Solana Beach’s Ian Aschieris, about to kick the ball while way down that path after a playing for the San Diego Surf, will take his soccer lifetime of honing his skills talents to Notre Dame come fall. Courtesy photo on the field. Earlier this month on February National Signing Day, Aschieris committed to play the sport for University of Notre Dame — one of the top teams in the nation. “I talked to a good amount of schools, but Notre Dame was the one I was most serious about,” he said. “I thought about it for a long time.” It’s been a long road to get to this point for Aschieris. He’s been a part of a variety of teams throughout North County since he first started to play competitively at just 5 years old, and he hasn’t taken a break since. Aschieris climbed the athletic ladder until he was a freshman at Santa Fe Christian, where he was a part of the school’s varsity team, and then transferred to Torrey Pines his sophomore year to play varsity there. However, Aschieris knew that if he wanted to pursue the sport in a major way after high school, he had to transfer to club soccer. “It was a tough decision,” he said of why he left the Torrey Pines team and joined the ranks of San Diego Surf, which he’s still part of to this day. “I knew I needed to play academy and the transition made it a lot easier knowing this was going to help me get to the next level.” (Aschieris completes his North County soccer odyssey this coming June when his
time with the Surf wraps up.) During a friendly match in 2013, the powers that be at Notre Dame came calling. “They had seen me during a tournament and emailed me afterwards,” Aschieris recalled. “I responded, and we kept in touch throughout the year.” Aschieris liked everything he saw at Notre Dame, from their soccer team (which won the national championships in 2013) to academics as well, considering he wanted to study business and Notre Dame has a top business school. “One of the things they made clear is that academics is very important to them as well as athletics, which I liked,” he said. However, one wrinkle made him apprehensive at first: His entire family went to USC. “My mother was a gymnast there and my father studied there,” said Aschieris. “My
brother goes there now and my grandparents even went there, as well as both of my aunts and uncles on my dad’s side. Meanwhile, my cousins attend Notre Dame — so there’s a bit of a family rivalry going on.” Not wanting to pass up a good opportunity — and subsequent scholarship — Aschieris verbally committed to join Notre Dame’s Fighting Irish last July and thus broke ranks from the rest of his family. Despite that, Aschieris said he couldn’t be more excited for the chance to strut his stuff with the esteemed team. He recently returned from an unofficial visit to meet with longtime Notre Dame coach Bobby Clark and get a sense of what life is like in South Bend, Ind. “This is something I’ve dreamed of doing since I was a kid,” he said. “What more can I ask for?”
PARKING tomers, residents and recreational users, such as beachgoers, they said. “We’re trying to take that huge parking management report — that’s so full of information — and organize it in a way that we can hand it to the advisory committees and have it be manageable for them,” Worden explained. “Step one was to say, ‘What are the goals? Where are we trying to get to?’” With a clear list of goals, Worden said the ad-hoc committee’s next step is to create a graphic outlining incentives and disincentives for proposed parking strategies. He and Sinnott also plan to develop specific questions for the city’s advisory committees, as they will be asked for input on the plan. “Without this direction, we spin our wheels,” said Deputy Mayor Sherryl Parks. “I think this is a good first start,” added Councilman Don Mosier. “Historically, the committees have not been able to deal with this. I think you’re going to have to ask some very specific questions with very clear answers. The council is going to have to instill that and take action.”

Seniors Helping Seniors provides care, jobs to seniors in North County By Kristina Houck When Patricia Berman went to see her doctor for her routine checkup in March, he told her she doesn’t look or act 90 years old. “I don’t plan to act 90,” said Berman from her chair in her Oceanside house, a place she has called home for more than 20 years. “I want to keep doing things. I want to keep living.” When Berman fell in August, she needed a compassionate caregiver who understood her desire to remain independent. That’s when she contacted Seniors Helping Seniors of San Diego North County, a Carlsbad-based non-medical, in-home care agency. Founded in 1998 in Pennsylvania, Seniors Helping Seniors matches seniors who want to provide help with seniors who need help. The company now has about 230 locations throughout the U.S. “When you get to be a certain age, you can understand maybe what that other senior is going through,” said 63-year-old Patty McCormac, one of Berman’s three caretakers. “I’m not saying a younger person couldn’t do it, but I think an older person has more empathy.” From a couple of hours to 24-hour care, Seniors Helping Seniors offers companionship, housekeeping, cooking, shopping, transportation services and more. Seniors Helping Seniors of San Diego North County serves Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Encinitas, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, San Marcos, Oceanside and Vista. After Berman fell, McCormac stayed with her full-time for five days. Now, she and two other caretakers from Seniors Helping Seniors take turns spending time with Berman Monday through Friday, driving her to her appointments, helping her clean her home, and more. “If I don’t have anything for them to do, they leave,” said Berman. “I have free time and I’m alone, which I like. I don’t want to be hovered over. I don’t need it.” A widow for 31 years, Berman said she enjoys spending time alone. After she raised her children, Berman worked at a needlepoint store. Today she spends much of her time working on needlepoint projects and teaching a needlepoint class. “I prefer my home. I prefer privacy,” she said. “My home is my sanctuary.” While Seniors Helping Seniors provides essential services to senior clients, it also helps other senior citizens supplement their retirement incomes. Matching those two groups together is the mission of Seniors Helping Seniors. “I was lucky to get Mrs. Berman,” said McCormac, who also lives in Oceanside. “I’ve got out of my rut, my circle of friends has widened and I genuinely love being with Mrs. Berman. “I think this is the best program I’ve seen around here. Seniors are helping seniors. In a

Rhythmic gymnastics competition coming to Carmel Valley Feb. 21-22 Sixth San Diego Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy’s Foreign 2015 “Rising Stars Cup” is coming to Carmel Valley’s Ocean Air Recreational Center from Feb. 2122. More than 175 participants — rhythmic gymnasts from California, Nevada and Siberian city Novosibirsk, Russia — will be competing in seven official USA Rhythmic Gymnastics levels and will take home seven “Rising Stars” Cups. “Rhythmic gymnastics is not only the most beautiful Olympic sport, this is also a great human story of rhythmic gymnastics development in the world,” said Alla Zubkis, CFO of San Diego Rhythmic Gymnastics Academy.

Temecula horse/animal rescue needs funds for new home by April Monika Kerber and Louise Gardner have rescued more than 180 horses and brought them to Villa Chardonnay Equine and Animal Sanctuary in Temecula over the past 11 years. In their care, the horses have regained hundreds of pounds, received medical care and have the permanent home they deserve until the end of their days. The equine safe haven has grown and cares for 140 abandoned horses, eight rescued donkeys, three goats, more than 50 homeless cats, 14 rescued dogs and three turkeys. The waiting list is long for animals seeking a home at Villa Chardonnay. Now Villa Chardonnay, one of the largest and most reputable sanctuaries in North America, must leave its home. “Help us protect them all. We have committed the rest of our lives to them and their care. Each one is unique and has special needs. We are urgently reaching out to animal lovers throughout the country for help,” said Kerber, CEO and caregiver/rehabilitator at the facility. Villa Chardonnay has launched a national capital campaign to raise funds for a down payment and the physical move. Additional costs will be financed through a mortgage, as a property required for this many animals costs into seven figures. The deadline to raise the funds is by April 2015. Learn more about the capital campaign and corporate sponsorship opportunities at www.villachardonnay.org, or mail donations to 42200 Calle Barbona, Temecula, CA 92592. To participate, contact Louise Gardner at Louise@VillaChardonnay.org. Villa Chardonnay, Horses with Wings, Inc. is a 501(c)3 nonprofit.

a little more than 30 feet to nearly the maximum allowable 35 feet. Some residents argued the project would change the historical neighborhood, increase traffic and not provide adequate parking. The council continued the public hearing until September to allow then-developer Sea Breeze Properties to revise the project to better fit the community’s character. “This is Eden Gardens, a very special place,” Councilwoman Lesa Heebner, now mayor, said at the time. “I, frankly, am not very comfortable with the way it’s being developed.” In September, developers presented a scaled-down version of the project. Although council members and some residents received the changes positively, they argued it was still too large and incompatible with the community. The council denied the project without prejudice, allowing the applicant to submit redesigned plans without having to wait a year. Since then, project manager Joshua Lichtman has taken the reins as developer of the project, with the owner of Sea Breeze Properties becoming an investor. Lichtman and his team have worked closely with the community and further scaled down the project. They eliminated one of the structures and a dwelling unit, and lowered the building heights. During the Jan. 28 meeting, several residents praised Lichtman and his team for listening to the community and using
their input. Nearly all speakers — some who once opposed the project — spoke in favor of the revised plans. Several others sent emails to the council in favor of the project. “I do know that a lot of effort has gone into this project,” said David Kramer, a Solana Beach resident since 1998. “We now have an opportunity to take this lot, which we look at every day, and make it into something that’s pretty nice.” “My husband and I know change is inevitable in our neighborhood, and only embrace responsible developing to try to maintain our current quality of living in Solana Beach,” said Tara Hernandez, a nearby property owner who has lived in Solana Beach for 28 years. “I am here publicly supporting the project. I would like to thank Josh Lichtman and his partners for working with us and being responsible developers.” “Josh and his partners truly reached out to the community,” added Tara’s husband, Danny Hernandez. “They’ve done a great job. They’ve listened to all our concerns. Like my wife said, we know our neighborhood’s going to change; we just want it to change responsibly.” Not all community members supported the latest revisions, however. “It’s a great improvement over what they had before, but we need to fix a few things before we get there to make it really work for the community,” said resident Gary Martin, who
argued the project is still too big and the proposed front building is too close to the sidewalk. “We’re heading in the right direction. We just need to work on that street presence right up front and not give up right at the last minute. “Eden Gardens is a great place, and Eden Gardens has a lot to give. With a little more work, this could be a great project.” Most council members agreed that the project is headed in the right direction, but still needs some fine-tuning. “We all agree that a project here is needed because what’s there now is blighted,” said Councilman Mike Nichols, noting that he preferred where the front building was located in the previous design. “For that very reason alone, I can’t support the project because I don’t think it fits in with the character of the community.” “Keeping this community character is a precious and tight balance,” Councilman Peter Zahn said, agreeing that the setback of the street-facing building was “extreme, harsh and abrupt.” “This is really very close,” added Deputy Mayor David Zito. “I’m sitting on the fence right now.”

TEACHERS
continued from page 1
“A teacher has the ability to motivate a student to excel, and on the flip side, it can severely diminish a student’s confidence and cause them to shut down,” Ball said. Even though her son, now older, was an AP student in several subjects, he had to drop to a lower level in math and continued to struggle. “I think the teacher had a serious impact on his confidence in this subject,” Ball said. Now she has a student who is bored in his eighth-grade honors English class and she doesn’t want to see the same thing happen with him that happened with her other child. With a new teacher instructing the class, for the first six weeks of class they have written paragraphs in journals, they’ve read one book and written one essay. While reading “The Diary of Anne Frank,” students were told they didn’t have to read the middle of the book because it was boring and repetitive. Ball was told her child’s only option is to move down to a regular English class. Vita Lee Slaidins said that as a district parent at Oak Crest and Diegueno, her children have had many exceptional teachers, but she feels it’s obvious her seventh-grader is not getting the rigor he deserves from his honors English class. Lee Slaidins said that he has only done short written assignments with no feedback, which doesn’t help in the learning process. “His class had only read half of one book while others had completed four,” Lee Slaidins said. She said after one parent approached the teacher about the rigor of the class, the student was singled out in class as the teacher polled the students on whether they thought the class was hard enough. The experience has made more parents reluctant to come forward. Again, her only option is to move her student down a level. “That option doesn’t serve the needs of
the student, and it just isn’t right,” Lee Slaidins said. She made it clear her intention is not to vilify one teacher, but to make sure the issue is brought to light. Ali Berger, the board’s student representative from Sunset High School, shared insight from her experience as a transfer student from Cathedral Catholic High School. The school had an add/drop policy and she said it was beneficial for her to be able to switch laterally —she felt she worked much better with the new teacher. Melanie Farfel, the student representative from Canyon Crest Academy, also endorsed the parents’ suggestion. “I am completely in favor of this,” Farfel said. “I haven’t had an experience like that, but I know students who have and have suffered from it.” She said they only have to be careful that students aren’t transferring to get an easier class. “You don’t want students just dropping because nobody wants the hard teacher,” she said. In her 11 years in the district, Pugmire said that her children have been motivated and inspired by several high-quality educators. She said much can be learned from different teachers and their styles, but in the case where her child is “suffering beyond repair” in a critical honors English class, remaining with the teacher will only decrease educational results. “It’s unacceptable to me that to get out of a class, you have to go down a level,” Pugmire said. “It sends the wrong message.” Districts such as Poway Unified and Vista Unified have a process that allows changes. Pugmire said Vista’s is a three-step process, and she was told very few parents and students opt to go through it, but those who do feel that their students’ needs are addressed.
Trustee John Salazar said he sympathized with the parents, as he has experienced it personally. “Ninety percent of the teachers are really excellent,” said Salazar, noting he has come across some “horrible” teachers. “To tell a parent that they don’t have this option is horrendous. This is a very, very big problem and I would hate to see it get shoved off. I would like to see it fixed.” Superintendent Rick Schmitt said the
ENROLLMENT shutting people out, because I haven’t had any requests.” Grove said he believes the district has been transparent about the process and has selected a complete group of representatives with different viewpoints. All of the work they are doing is posted on the district website with minutes, and members communicate with constituents. “I don’t feel that there’s been a lack of transparency on our part,” he said. Grove said a lot of the conversation that takes place in the group is educating them to help understand the issue’s complexity. He said for people to come in and get snippets of information might cause greater confusion in the community and would be counterproductive. He said the purpose of this group is to figure out the “nuts and bolts,” do the work and then present possible options to the public and the board. Salazar said the group uses a public building to meet, and a “gross amount” of public dollars are being spent for the group’s moderator, so he believes the meetings should be open. “To have an article written like this is bad for the district,” Salazar said. “I don’t know how we all agreed to lawyer up. I’d like to
district takes all parent concerns about teachers seriously. “I don’t think we shove anything off,” he said. “We do welcome feedback and we do listen to the community. I appreciate the parents noticing all the good, but like any organization, there are areas we can improve, and this may be one of them.” Schmitt said the district would bring back recommendations at a future meeting.

know what the lawyer said and how much it cost. I’m very curious to see how much money we’re going to waste on this task force.” Last October, Salazar voted against hiring the group facilitator, Leonard Steinberg, at a rate of $350 an hour. The group, which includes 35 members and eight high school students, has so far met three times. Sarah Gardner, a parent on the study group, said she has volunteered her time in earnest to do what she can to help the district. Gardner said the column caused a “big uproar” and that if columnist Marsha Sutton were allowed to attend and act as a “watchdog,” the group’s engagement would be curbed. She said committee members who are committed to making a difference might not speak up because they would worry about how they were being perceived. “The focus should be placed on how much information we can glean from the process instead of attacking the process,” Gardner said. Superintendent Rick Schmitt reminded the board that there would be a public meeting at the end of the work group’s process as well as parent surveys. The group’s next meeting is Feb. 17.

Letters to the editor/opinion Response to ‘The Sky Isn’t Falling ...’ Kymberli Clement is upset that opposition to One Paseo is being bankrolled by Donahue Schriber, owner of Del Mar Highlands Town Center. Indeed, a grass-roots group such as WhatPriceMainStreet cannot campaign against a huge, well-heeled corporate developer such as Kilroy without some professional help. And Kilroy has spent millions in marketing this project locally. For three years, the volunteer organizers of WhatPriceMainStreet have generously and persistently given not only their time, but often their own money. We volunteer opposers do not object to building on this property, as long as it meets current planning and zoning — but we vehemently oppose overbuilding on it, as Kilroy wants to. I began volunteering for WhatPriceMainStreet in 2012, handing out information at shopping centers. Since mid-January, I have designed, paid for, and displayed eight of my own “anti-this-Paseo” street signs; last August, I built a scaled One Paseo model for the CV Community Planning Board meeting. These efforts are entirely my own; I am not an official part of WhatPriceMainStreet and was not asked by it to make the signs or the model. I am not being paid — even a cent — nor have any of the original organizers. Dozens of other grass-roots volunteers have made far greater personal commitments to this group. These volunteers are indeed passionate, but I have never encountered one who is anything but friendly and polite. As to Donahue Schriber, it has a valid complaint against Kilroy. Donahue Schriber has played by the rules; it developed its center entirely within the CV Community Plan, and has not overbuilt its property. But Kilroy wants to change the community plan and zoning so that it can build almost three times the zoned square footage. This is patently unfair! All other CV developers have played by the Community’s rules and sized their projects appropriately — why won’t Kilroy? Kilroy admits that its proposed One Paseo would have two “unmitigateds”: 1) Effects on neighborhood character (high-rise buildings in a low-rise area) 2) Effects on traffic (adding 24,000 car trips a day to Del Mar Heights Road) I contend that this One Paseo project would have a third “unmitigated”: 3) Kilroy’s gall in demanding almost three times its fair share of development. Marcia Balch P.S.: Isn’t it odd that Ms. Clement only spoke out against the project opposers — but offered no positive reasons to support this project?
One Paseo also means more school crowding The past many months, residents in the Carmel Valley/Torrey Hills Community have been speaking out against One Paseo for various reasons, reasons that don’t need to be repeated yet again. However, as the parent of a Carmel Valley Middle School student who will soon be a future Torrey Pines H.S. or Canyon Crest Academy student, I want to warn every parent in this community to forget about the size of this monstrosity for a second, and be reminded that they also want to add 600-plus apartments/condos within the One Paseo project, housing that could potentially bring in hundreds of new students to an already overburdened school district. Last week in this newspaper, Supervisor Dave Roberts’ article about his opposition to One Paseo was right next to SDUHSD Superintendent Rick Schmitt’s monthly update about overcrowded high schools just up the road from One Paseo. Is the San Diego City Council even aware that our schools, particularly CVMS and both high schools, are already overcrowded, and that there is again a lottery system for eighth-graders, etc., to get into their choice of high school? This lottery causes students and parents extreme stress, worry, and aggravation every year. We don’t need to add any more apartments filled with yet more students! Many parents in my neighborhood are against One Paseo because of these 600-plus apartments. We are homeowners who pay considerable school property tax and school bond tax that go towards these schools that our children attend. I don’t like the idea that parents who will rent at One Paseo (if these apartments are approved) won’t be paying any property taxes, but will negatively affect the chances of my child and the children of many other homeowners of getting into their high school of choice. And on a side note — California is experiencing the fourth year in a row of severe drought. We do not need to be adding 600-plus more apartments and hundreds of more people to this community, who will be using more water, when the state is under serious water duress. Save our water, save our schools! Carla Mapes Torrey Hills
One Paseo project is ‘just too much’ I have never written a letter to the editor before, but the One Paseo project is just too much! Let’s see: The property is zoned for less than 500,000 square feet of floor space, and their proposal has been “scaled down” to 1,400,000 square feet, triple that allowed. Wouldn’t that be like me tearing down my 3,300-square-foot Carmel Valley tract home and applying to construct a 10,000-square-foot four-story apartment building in its place? What would the planning department — and my neighbors — think of that? Just saying ... Barry Billingsley Carmel Valley LETTERS POLICY: Topical letters to the editor are encouraged.

Not everyone is against One Paseo I am writing to say that there are residents of Carmel Valley who are in support of the proposed One Paseo project. It will be a great addition to my community. I am tired of seeing the protesters and hearing about the money the owners of Del Mar Highlands are spending to crush carefully planned, sustainable growth. Their points, with my rebuttals, are below. Unprecedented Density: The density is only unprecedented for some residents of our little suburb. The street on which I live, Elijah Court, is one of the more densely populated streets in Carmel Valley. All of the 1,000-plus residents on my street would be able to walk or bike to the new shopping center, potentially reducing traffic down my street. Downtown Heights: There are already plenty of tall buildings on High Bluff and El Camino Real. I am not concerned with the heights of One Paseo, especially since they are shortening their tallest buildings by 20 feet. There is a new office building going up next to the Carmel Valley skate park, but I don’t hear my neighbors complaining about it. Violates Community Plan, and Increased Traffic: The Del Mar Highlands shopping center is almost always overcrowded. With the addition of One Paseo, my family should be able to walk to more dinner and shopping options. Hopefully, this will keep us from driving to Mira Mesa, UTC or Encinitas every time we want to go out. While traffic will increase, I am satisfied with the street and traffic signal revisions that Kilroy is committing to. Destroys Community Character: The part of Carmel Valley we are discussing is filled with office buildings, condos and a huge shopping center. No one will suffer if another shopping center is added; we will have more options to spend our money in our community instead of in neighboring communities. No New City Parks: Carmel Valley is filled with parks, and adding more people isn’t going to make them overcrowded. I can visit at least 10 parks in a 3-mile radius from my house, and they are often empty, even on weekends. There are plenty of choices. Carmel Valley residents need options besides office buildings and miles of beautiful houses and parks. We want to walk to dining and entertainment options and enjoy our beautiful neighborhood to the fullest. I look forward to the future of a more walkable Carmel Valley. Christine Nelson Small business owner, parent, and Carmel Valley resident
Some look forward to development in CV I wanted to applaud Kymberli Clement for her support of One Paseo. There are a group of us out there, perhaps many of us, that look forward to a new development but are simply not as vocal as the opposing faction. If Carmel Valley were a quaint little village with charm and whimsy, I’d be the first on the committee to oppose One Paseo. However, in my view, Carmel Valley is anything but a charming little onclave, it has no character whatsoever and it is a retail wasteland. I would love to see more infrastructure introduced into Carmel Valley; perhaps some character will emerge from this new project. Beth Newton

Letters to the editor/opinion; See more letters/opinions on pages 28 and 29 ‘Not in My Front Yard!’ Most know of NIMBY as Not In My Backyard. I am saying to Kilroy (One Paseo), “Not in My Front Yard!” The addition of a traffic lane along the north side of Del Mar Heights Road between High Bluff Drive and Interstate 5 will encroach into open space that is part of Neighborhood Three. Their plan is to widen Del Mar Heights Road to nine lanes, which is wider than Interstate 5. This widening will require the removal of 19 mature pine and sycamore trees. Six of these trees are in front of the Pacific Bell sub-station and were a requirement for their project to screen their mausoleum-like wall that fronts Del Mar Heights Road. How can a project encroach into another existing development? This would be as if your neighbor wanted to widen his driveway onto your property. Oh, he is planning to plant a few trees to screen the “improvement!” Kilroy’s Mobility graphic on their website actually shows the north side of Del Mar Heights Road in its existing condition, along with a graphic that actually looks like Kilroy’s plan reduces the width of Del Mar Heights Road. So untrue, but sure looks pretty! Kilroy should be required to keep their development to a size that requires no street widening along the north side of Del Mar Heights Road. Again I say, “Not in My Front Yard!” Ginny Barnes Resident of Carmel Valley, Neighborhood Three
Kudos for providing residents the opportunity to ‘voice our choice’ on a ‘much-needed’ new City Hall As a 35-year resident of Del Mar I am thrilled that the City has the finances and impetus to move forward on a much-needed new City Hall. We are fortunate to be able to voice our choice and vote for what we feel will best serve the residents of community now and in the future. The Watkins mailing did an excellent job of more thoroughly explaining all three City options for our new Civic Center, and asked that eligible voters cast their preference for the option they feel would best serve the community. By contrast, it is disturbing that some prominent residents have solicited a vote for a specific option without a vote in sequence for the others. There has always been a fraction of the populous that repeatedly opposes any proposed improvements for our community, and uses its power to sway voters through scare tactics and misinformation. That seems highly unethical. Karen Powell Del Mar
OBITUARIES
Norma Mattalía 1940 – 2015 La Jolla resident, Norma Mattalía, was born in Mar del Plata, Argentina, on April 15, 1940, the only daughter of first generation Argentineans Toto Mattalía and Lucia Gomez. She was the mother of long time La Jolla residents, Fernando and Santiago Aguerre. She passed away on Feb 3, 2015, at UCSD Hospital. Norma married at 17 and at 19, she was a full time mother of two, while attending Law School. She had been a beach and ocean lover at a very early age, as were her parents. Her love for all things oceanic was passed on to her children, Fernando and Santiago Aguerre, residents of La Jolla since the early 80s.
While raising teenagers and practicing law, she was always near her two boys, from an early age, mentoring their love for surfing and entrepreneurship and passing on her kindness, love, and passion for a better world. In 1978 she teamed up with her sons to fight back a ban on surfing imposed by the military dictatorship, supporting their activities, including Fernando’s presidency of the local surf association. In 1979 they succeeded in ending the ban. The very same year they partnered and opened Ala Moana Surfshop, a legendary retailer in Mar del Plata, still in business today. After her two children moved to La Jolla, California, in the mid 80’s she became a co-founder of their San Diego based surf brand Reef. By 1986, at age 46, interested in working in an area closer to her heart, she quit her law practice, went back to college and five years later received a Master degree in psychology. She immediately started teaching and opened a mental health clinic. With her children and their families firmly established near Windansea in La Jolla, in 2002 she decided it was time to move her home to be near all of them. She settled in a home near her two sons, and her eight grandchildren, enjoying her life as a grandmother and a tango dancer, her passions in the last part of her life. She also went back to college, this time to
improve her English skills, which she spoke fluently besides her native Spanish. She was also fluent in French, Italian and Portuguese. Norma was very happy in the “endless summer” weather of Southern California and being near her family, but she started with the symptoms of an illness that would affect the last five years of her life. She’s survived by her two children and their spouses: Fernando Aguerre and Florencia Gomez Gerbi and Santiago Aguerre and Cecilia Aguerre; and her grandchildren, Jakue, Kaila, Tiare and Gina Aguerre, and Marina, Alani, Emilia and Luken Aguerre. A memorial and spraying of the ashes ceremony will be held at Windansea beach in the near future. Please sign the guest book online at www. legacy.com/obituaries/ lajollalight.
Robert Hamil Smith, J.D. 1927 – 2015 After 87 remarkable years of devotion to his family, friends and
community, “Bob” passed away peacefully as the result of a recent fall. Vibrant, healthy and steadfast – still driving – right up until the last month. Robert was born in Chicago, Illinois, to the Rev. Henry G. and Mary Ellen Smith. At the age of 5 the family moved to Denver, Colorado, where Pastor Smith presided over the Broadway Baptist Church. It was in Denver that Bob met his South High School sweetheart and future wife of 66 years, Helen Kingsley. At the age of 32 he became a Developer of retirement homes across the country - 11 different projects in 11 different cities. As a Developer, he learned the art of raising money, which eventually led the family to San Diego in 1969. There he became an Assistant to the Chancellor at the University of California at San Diego. He was charged with the establishment of the initial Alumni, Gifts and Endowments office. Bob and his associates were successful in forming charitable relationships for the University that brought in many millions of dollars. In 1977 Bob took the position of Vice President of Development at Scripps Clinic and Research Foundation, where he was able to help direct millions of charitable dollars, until his retirement. Throughout his time in San Diego, Bob was tireless in his involvement with community projects, whether it was the Rotary
Club of Del Mar, where he served as a president, or as a Trustee on the Board of the San Diego Maritime Museum. His passion for the sea and writing were combined into a longtime publishing hobby which encompassed the production of several guides and stories. Robert is survived by his wife, Helen; and three sons, David, Mark and Steven and their extended families. Bob’s loving memories and generosity will always remain in our hearts. A celebration of life ceremony will take place on Monday, February 16, 2015, from 2:30 to 5pm at the University of California at San Diego Faculty Club.

Letters to the editor/Opinion
One Paseo: More myths and facts Kilroy’s “Yes on One Paseo” signature-gathering team recently abandoned their efforts after complaining to their boss they couldn’t collect enough signatures to cover expenses. This weekend they were replaced by a new team employing more of the same old misinformation and distortions that need to be corrected. Myth: One Paseo opponents are a bunch of old people who don’t want any change. Fact: The opposition, along with the Carmel Valley Planning Board, has long applauded the One Paseo concept, but in a smaller scale that would give the community new choices and amenities without the oversized buildings and substantial traffic increase. Unfortunately, the board’s recommendation for a smaller project that would still be 70 percent larger than the existing entitlement was unacceptable to the developer, which won’t offer any compromise of its own. Myth: The developer is spending $6 million to solve the traffic problem. Fact: Most of these funds are known as “fair share” contributions that pool money for future improvements that may not be built for decades. And the developer’s “magic bullet” traffic light synchronization is likely only marginally useful, because the Del Mar Height Road traffic backs up from congested I-5 on-ramps. The solution would require CALTRANS to synchronize its I-5 on-ramp signals with those on Del Mar Heights Road, which it has already said is not possible. Myth: The Opposition is led by the Town Center owner, who doesn’t want competition across the street. Fact: The Town Center owner welcomes additional retail development at the One Paseo site as beneficial to its own business. Its involvement stems from concern that the traffic generated by an overbuilt project will create gridlock on Del Mar Heights Road, adjacent streets and out into the community. Why would the Trader Joe’s abandon this “heart” of the community site for one down the street? Could it have been anticipation of clogged arteries surrounding that heart? Myth: (my favorite): If One Paseo is not approved, the developer will just build office buildings or nothing. Fact: A persuasive threat, but without merit. Again, as a compromise the Planning Board recommended a smaller mixed-use project still 70 percent larger than the entitlement. If you got turned down at the City Council, would you not go back and accept or negotiate the Planning Board’s offer? Kilroy is forcing the community to oppose One Paseo, and delaying its own project by refusing to even discuss any such reasonable compromise. Please join your neighbors on Feb. 23 to tell city councilmembers we all want a One Paseo, just not THIS one.

One Paseo has already failed on all these counts One Paseo has failed. I am for development that:
• Makes San Diego desirable to live in.
• Increases business profitability.
• Makes economic sense.
• Increases homeowner property values.
• Supports the community.
• Avoids expensive and inevitable litiga-
• Unites the communities of San Diego.
tion for the city of San Diego. • Lifts the standard of public school education.
One Paseo has failed because it does none of these; it is time to move on, or move One Paseo someplace else!

Action needed to resolve issues concerning Black’s Beach The letter below was sent to San Diego City Council President Sherri Lightner and to this newspaper for publication. Dear Mrs. Lightner, In view of nationwide concerns of a BSA Scoutmaster leading a group of Cub Scouts into Black’s Beach without parents’ consent, I am pleading with you to help your community and the general public’s concern by addressing the current inability of individuals to use “Common Sense” conduct. The goals are to relieve concerns of Black’s Beach while ensuring the rights of naturists to allow for their right of enjoyment, to ensure appropriate civil conduct with minors, to ensure consent of all parties involved of entry into the clothing optionalnudist beach area. Points to resolve issues concerning Black’s Beach: • Restrict the entry with legislative ad-

San Dieguito’s boundary quandary
It’s decision time for One Paseo
BY MARSHA SUTTON The decision by the San Dieguito Union High School District last Marsha Sutton spring to create a task force to study the district’s boundary policies was billed as an effort to be inclusive and give all stakeholders a voice. But in reality, not only did it cut out of the process many stakeholders, but it also delayed by one full year any changes in outdated policy. It also fueled a firestorm of protest among parents frustrated by the secretive meetings and outraged over the $350-per-hour price tag for a controversial facilitator. If the school board had simply made a decision last year, after considering all the demographics and legal constraints, there would be a new policy (or perhaps the same old policy) in place for this fall. Either way, at least we’d know. After all, trustees were elected to make those hard decisions. But now, because of the
delay, nothing will change, if it changes at all, until fall 2016, leaving parents of this year’s incoming ninth-graders stuck with the same antiquated system. Worse yet, this fall’s admittance levels may be more restrictive than ever before, because last year the district, under political pressure, admitted every student on the waitlist for both San Dieguito Academy and Canyon Crest Academy, overfilling both schools and leaving fewer seats open for this fall’s incoming class. What a school has space for, and thus requires a lottery for, seems to be a moving target. Until protests erupted last spring, both academies were classified as full and 190 students were waitlisted. But when the noise got so loud, room was magically made for all 190 waitlisted kids — 65 at SDA and 125 at CCA. Apparently, a school is full — and then suddenly, based on some obscure administrative calculations, it’s not. After last year’s over-enrollment, it’s doubtful we’ll
see the same sort of magic at the academies this fall. Outdated policy The boundary problem came about because, last spring, incoming ninthgrade students choosing San Dieguito Academy were placed in a lottery, per district policy, and many living within walking distance were not chosen. A policy on boundaries that is 18 years old has outlived its usefulness, clearly. There are two hardboundary schools — kids who live in the northern part of the district are assigned to La Costa Canyon High School, and kids in the south go to Torrey Pines High School. The two so-called academies — San Dieguito in the north and Canyon Crest in the south — are openboundary schools, meaning any student in the entire district can apply to go there. Because demand has exceeded supply at both academies, lotteries are in place. Last spring, there was a See BOUNDARY, page 30

BY GORDON CLANTON On Monday, Feb. 23, at 2 p.m., the San Diego City Council will decide the future of Carmel Valley and of Del Mar and of all who drive automobiles on Interstate 5. This is a big deal. The council will decide the fate of Kilroy Corp.’s One Paseo proposal to build an enormous shopping center with nine-story residential towers on 23 acres along Del Mar Heights Road just east of I-5. The proposal would triple the density allowed by current zoning. It would bring more traffic than nearby streets can absorb, with congestion spilling west into Del Mar and down onto I-5, clogging the artery that connects coastal North County to San Diego. The developers claim the impact of their project will be light because it will allow people to live where they work and shop, without needing a car. What nonsense! To see what happens when you allow zone-busting, high-density housing adjacent to a very large shopping center on a major
Gordon Clanton freeway, just get in your car and drive south on I-5 and I-805 to the La Jolla Village Drive exit — seven miles from Del Mar. This stretch of 805 is badly congested most of the time. Likewise the adjacent surface streets. Most of the people who live in the apartments and condos surrounding Westfield University Town Center do not walk to work at the shopping center. They drive to work elsewhere, adding to the perpetual clogging of the freeway. Most do not walk to shop at UTC. They drive to shopping so they can buy more per trip than one can carry home afoot. City planners approved the triple density for One
Paseo because the new center will be “transit ready” — even though there is no public transportation to the site and none planned! Big developers often make their money by persuading city officials to allow more development than zoning permits. And city officials often say Yes because of the promise of jobs and new tax revenues — and because they often have received generous campaign contributions from the developers. Now is the time for everyone who will be impacted by this One Paseo to contact San Diego First District Councilmember and Council President Sherri Lightner at sherrilightner@sandiego. gov, urging her to vote No and to use her influence with the council to defeat this proposal. Go here to reach other council members: www.sandiego.gov/ citycouncil/. Go here to join the opposition: www. whatpricemainstreet.com/. Gordon Clanton teaches sociology at San Diego State University.

near-riot, from parents not just of incoming ninth-graders but those with younger kids who could predict the future. Kids who can’t attend their neighborhood schools — schools they can walk to, for heaven’s sake — is unacceptable. Thus, the study group, which is closed to the public, was created. The goals of the study group, according to the district, are to examine the long-term demographic projections that could influence high school enrollment, review current district practices and relevant state law, analyze each potential option, identify benefits and drawbacks of each option, share the information with the community, and report findings to the school board. The group is composed of 43 individuals, all of whom had to submit an application for acceptance, which was reviewed by district staff. There were many more applicants than the number selected. Eight are students (two from each of the four comprehensive high schools), 15 are parents, and 20 are district employees. Of the 20 district employees, 13 are teachers, three are counselors, two are principals (Tim Hornig of San Dieguito Academy and David Jaffe of Torrey Pines High), and two are district administrators. Teachers are on the committee “primarily because they lend some insight into schools (that’s) different than parents have,” said Mike Grove, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent for educational services, who serves on the committee. Another reason, he said, is that any change “would impact them and has the potential to change the core curriculum and the way they teach.” Also, Grove said, faculty is involved when any major policy change is being considered. “That’s how we operate,” he said. “We include our teachers in all big deci-
sions.” Teachers in the study group are as much all over the map as parents are, Grove said. The ones at Torrey Pines and La Costa Canyon “have some real interest in some change,” while those at the two academies “like the choice aspect.” Grove said teachers are not over-represented in the group because only about half of them come to the daytime meetings, since they need to be in the classroom. “So we overloaded the number of teachers to account for all the absences,” he said. But Grove previously claimed that one reason members of the public should not be able to observe the closed meetings is that, if they can pop in and out, they would not have the benefit of the background provided at early meetings. So why are teachers given a pass when the district knew they wouldn’t be attending all the meetings? Is there not a commitment to show up if one submits an application? How are teachers to make informed recommendations if they have missed some of the background meetings? Neighborhood schools The district plans to have its fourth meeting of the study group on Feb. 17, after which Grove said the district will hold a number of town hall meetings, although there is no set schedule yet — no dates, locations, or even the number of meetings. “We will see how it goes before setting a schedule,” he said. If there is demand, more will be scheduled. If certain areas of the community seem more interested, more meetings will take place there. After all the town hall meetings, members will regroup to finalize recommendations to present to the school board, which Grove hopes to do by June. Working backwards, incoming ninth-

grade students need to make their choices by next February for fall 2016. So boundaries need to be finalized by February 2016. And there’s a lot of work to change policy, Grove said, which means backing up at least six months, which brings us to this August or September for a final decision from the school board. Any policy change for 2016 would affect current seventh-graders and those in lower grades. According to reports from the last three meetings, brainstorming discussions have resulted in five possible options, not all of which, Grove said, are viable: 1. Status quo. 2. Draw traditional boundaries around all four high schools. 3. Eliminate all boundaries and enroll students based on choice and a lottery if necessary. 4. Maintain existing boundaries for LCC and TP, but allow for geographic priority for the two academies. 5. Eliminate all existing boundaries for all four high schools and guarantee enrollment for students within a specified radius of each school, opening enrollment up to other students outside that radius if seats are available. Options 4 and 5 are hybrid models that allow students within walking distance to attend their neighborhood schools.
PROJECTS
Grove said the purpose of the meeting on Feb. 17 will be to narrow down the five options to three. He said having no boundaries for any of the four high schools was not a viable option, and having four hard boundaries is problematic because it eliminates choices and forces students within the set radius to accept the programming distinctions of their neighborhood school, whether they want that or not. Because CCA and SDA have adopted the 4x4 schedule, and TP and LCC have not, this matters to many students. Grove said the best options are to keep the system as is, adopt four distinct boundaries, or a hybrid approach that allows for geographic proximity around the two academies. This last option would mean that students living near SDA or CCA will be pleased with the policy, but students living just across the street from the geographic radius might not be. The group recognizes that any option will leave some families unhappy, Grove said. Boundary changes are one of the most contentious topics any school district confronts. But a policy that allows kids to attend their neighborhood school is about fairness and common sense. It’s just that simple. Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.

2016, and Erickson Hall Construction Company for phase two of work at Torrey Pines High. The vote for Erickson Hall was not unanimous, with trustees Maureen “Mo” Muir and John Salazar voting against it because of the company’s “massive contributions” to school bonds, which they felt represented a conflict of interest. “It makes it seem sleazy and ‘pay to play,’” said Salazar. “It makes it hard for me to vote for Erickson Hall because of that.” Dill said he has no knowledge of the private businesses that choose to donate to bond campaigns; they have hired two construction managers since Prop AA and he said donations weren’t a factor in their evaluations.

Del Mar native’s novel examines today’s glorification of celebrity • Author to speak Feb. 25 at Del Mar Library BY JOE TASH The main character in the new novel by Kevin Brass is a trendy, smart writer who gravitates towards TV cameras and celebritytracking websites like a gambler to a poker game. But Brass’s novel, “The Cult of Truland,” is also about places — Del Mar, Solana Beach and Los Angeles, the stomping grounds for Brass, a longtime journalist, as he grew up, attended Torrey Pines High School and worked in print and broadcast media. “The setting is very much a character in this book,” said Brass, who divides his time among San Diego, Miami, Barcelona, and other places where his journalistic works takes him, such as the Middle East. A Del Mar native, Brass said, “I love the politics, the conflicts and the drama” of the seaside town. “I love that it attracts characters.” The novel, published in 2014 by a company Brass launched, called Glowing Sand Media, chronicles the adventures of Jake Truland, who writes sensational novels as a way of attracting attention to himself. “The books are a tool for a larger goal, to be the most famous guy in the world,” said Brass, during an interview at an outdoor table at the Pannikin coffee house on Coast Highway in Leucadia on a warm, bright February morning. North County readers will recognize the descriptions of local hangouts, and appreciate Brass’s nod to the area’s laid-back vibe. “Del Mar was his escape hatch. It was a two-hour drive south from Los Angeles but technically out of the Hollywood sphere of influ-

For years Ravi Shankar owned a house a few miles up the road, which is how Jake found himself discussing Mongolian meditation techniques with George Harrison one night, long ago. “But there was more to it. The lifestyle was part of him now — the beach, the early morning volleyball games in the cold mist, body surfing at sunset. It had changed him, altered his focus, his rhythm of life. There was always a single fin tossed in the trunk of his car, just in case the waves were up. He had a special app to track surf reports,” Brass writes. Early in the book, Jake’s life is upended when his Del Mar beachfront house burns down in an apparent arson fire. Amid the official investigation into the mysterious blaze, the celebrity media machine cranks into high gear because of the main character’s status as a regular See NOVEL, page B22
Nonprofit harnesses power of music as a therapeutic tool BY JOE TASH On a recent overcast morning, Matthew Parker stood singing and playing his banjo with a group of other musicians in the courtyard of the Naval Medical Center near Balboa Park in San Diego. As Parker sang “Wagon Wheel,” a song co-written by Bob Dylan and turned into a hit by Darius Rucker, people passed through the busy courtyard on the way to lunch or medical appointments, and others gathered to watch. The performance was more than just an impromptu gig for Parker and the other musicians — they were part of the Semper Sound Band, made up of injured or ill active-duty service members and veterans who were participating in a music therapy program organized by Resounding Joy, a San Diego-based nonprofit. Parker, an Iraq War veteran whose “day job” is training military dogs, has post-traumatic stress disorder because of injuries suffered in combat and in two motorcycle accidents after his return. The music therapy program, he said, has been a “godsend.” “I love it,” he said. “It really takes me away.” Sam Abel, a former Navy corpsman who also was injured in Iraq, strummed an acoustic guitar alongside Parker at the courtyard concert. He has suffered from a traumatic brain injury and PTSD. Playing with the Semper Sound band, as well as at the Veterans Administration treatment center where he lives, forces him to meet people and allows him to express his creativity. “I feel like it gets me out of that trap of being depressed and isolated,” he said. The Semper Sound program began in 2010 as an outgrowth of some of Resounding Joy’s other pro-

The monthly concerts are held in the courtyard of the Naval Medical Center in San Diego. Spencer’s service dog, Jery, is in the foreground. Photo by Joe Tash grams for seniors and young children, said Barbara Reuer, the group’s founder and executive director. It began with a 90-minute program at the Naval Medical Center, and has since expanded to weekly one-on-one and group sessions at a number of military facilities in the county, including Camp Pendleton. Semper Sound is especially meaningful, said Reuer, because the concept of music therapy — now a widely accepted adjunct to other forms of psychological treatment and therapy — began with efforts to help World War II veterans recover from what was then called “shell shock” by bringing musicians to play for them in the hospital. “It’s come full circle with these men and women coming back (from Iraq and Afghanistan) with traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder,” she said. The program includes a number of activities for participants, from guitar lessons to song-writing sessions, said Hannah Bronson, program director for Semper Sound, and a certified music therapist. The band plays at the medical center courtyard once a month. The musical interaction is intended to help the military members and veterans deal with the emotional and neurological aspects of their injuries, as well as physical ones. For example, patients who have suffered a hand injury might need assistance learning to play an instrument, Branson said. “Music is such a dynamic way to help people,” she said.
In addition to the work with military members, Resounding Joy also has programs for seniors, young children and teen moms, said Reuer. The program trains adult and youth volunteers to work with senior citizens in a variety of settings, from nursing homes to senior centers to in-home visits. The visits could include singing, playing instruments, listening to music or other music-related activities. Music can enhance the seniors’ memory and communication skills, said Reuer, including those who have dementia or Alzheimer’s disease. “Especially in later-stage Alzheimer’s, to have a few lucid moments and have the person recognize them, is really meaningful” to family members, said Reuer, who has worked in the field of music therapy for 35 years. Other programs offered by Resounding Joy include 10-week music classes for parents and toddlers, and even birthday parties, Reuer said. Reuer also runs a for-profit music therapy practice called MusicWorx, Inc., which works with hospitals, nursing homes, schools, substance abuse centers and other facilities. The common theme, she said, is using music to help people. “We all respond to music,” she said. “It can be a very powerful therapeutic tool.” For information about Resounding Joy, visit resoundingjoyinc.org.

Artist to showcase international paintings in Solana Beach home BY KRISTINA HOUCK From the California coast to the French countryside, John Modesitt travels across the country and around the world to paint scenic surroundings. “I get restless and need new scenes,” said Modesitt, who has lived with his wife, Toshiko, in Solana Beach for more than 20 years. “There’s a lot to see.” Beginning Valentine’s Day, Modesitt is holding a five-day exhibit, his first since his weeklong September show. The latest exhibit will feature about 50 new paintings, inspired by his late fall and early winter excursions. Modesitt recently spent about a month traveling through France. He painted the French countryside and canals from the Loire Valley to Burgundy, and from the French Alps to the Swiss Alps. After returning to the U.S., he spent two weeks painting the coast of California and the mountains of Colorado and Montana. “If you like Impressionism, you’re going to love this show,” Modesitt said. “It’s going to be a major exhibition.” Modesitt developed his love of Impressionism at an early age. Although his father worked as a nuclear physicist, he was passionate about art and had a poster collection of French impressionist paintings, which fascinated Modesitt as a young child. He went on to spend decades studying Impressionism, a 19th-century art movement Solana Beach artist John Modesitt painting in France. that originated with a group of Paris-based artists. “Impressionism is all about the light,” Modesitt said. “Painting outdoors and the impressionist techniques that I use — it’s the only way you can get a feeling of light and atmosphere.” Modesitt began studying art at Santa Barbara City College under painter Robert Frame. By the early 1980s, he had moved to the East Coast to learn about the work of renowned Impressionist painters featured at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City and the Art Institute of Chicago. Since then, Modesitt’s work has also been displayed on walls across the world. His

‘Burgundy Canal Boats’ is one of dozens of new paintings by Solana Beach artist John Modesitt. paintings have been featured at the Butler Institute of American Art Museum, the New Britain Museum of American Art, and the auction rooms of Christie’s in New York, London and Paris. Modesitt’s paintings are on display in the Waterhouse Gallery in Santa Barbara. His work is also featured in a group show at the Olaf Wieghorst Museum in El Cajon. Modesitt’s favorite time of year, however, is when he welcomes the public to view his work at his studio, which is in his Solana Beach home. Modesitt typically holds two homebased shows each year. His latest will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Feb. 14-18. “These paintings have never been seen before,” he said. “This show has a lot of color and energy and hope.” At 3 p.m. on Valentine’s Day, he will do a painting demonstration, relying mostly on his imagination. The painting will be available for auction with proceeds benefiting the winning bidder’s charity of choice. If you are interested in seeing the collection, call Modesitt at 858-232-8906 or email him at paintings@sbcglobal.net.

SB singer hoping more will take note of ‘Jazz on Cedros’
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KRISTINA HOUCK With the Belly Up Tavern a Solana Beach staple for more than 40 years, Cedros Avenue has become a music mecca. Local singer Anna Danes is hoping to attract even more music enthusiasts with her ongoing series, “Jazz on Cedros,” at Carruth Cellars. “Solana Beach has a very vibrant cultural community, especially Cedros Avenue,” said Danes, a Solana Beach resident, who lives on Cedros. “I can’t think of a better location.” In collaboration with Carruth Cellars, “Anna Danes Presents” launched Jazz on Cedros in December. Described as a “sophisticated Happy Hour,” the Dec. 5 event featured singersongwriter Rosemary Watson and Jonathan Belanger, lead singer of San Diego art pop band The Mosaic Quartet. The Jan. 30 event featured crooner David Patrone, as well as jazz vocalists Carmelia Bell and Arnessa Rickette. “The first two events were very well-received,” said Danes, who emcees every event and performs a selection of songs. “We sold
out in a matter of hours and had waitlists for both.” Slated for March 13, the next Jazz on Cedros event will feature Danes, jazz singer Kendra Tucker and soul singer Ayanna Hobson. A male vocalist is also being scheduled for the event. “It’s a really fun way to experience new music and discover talent,” Danes said. Danes herself is relatively new to the music scene. Born in Gdansk, Poland, Danes was 10 years old when her family escaped Communist rule and fled to Sweden. The family later settled in Canada after her father landed an engineer position in Ottawa. While adapting to a different culture and learning English and French, Danes also struggled with her parents’ divorce. She used music to escape and joined a Polish church choir in Ottawa. Until recently, that was the only music experience she had. Danes earned her bachelor’s degree in ancient history and archaeology from the University of Ottawa and studied law at the University of Windsor. She practiced family and estate law
Last spring, Danes released her debut album, “Longing,” which features mostly jazz covers and two original songs. Since then, she has performed at local venues and planned Jazz on Cedros. Because the series has been so successful, she hopes to collaborate with artists from other genres and bring the series to other local venues. “Because people have been really receptive, we’re looking to grow the idea,” said Danes, who is also working on her second
album. “We want to keep people entertained and the show flowing all night.” The March 13 event takes place from 5:30 to 8 p.m. at Carruth Cellars, 320 S. Cedros Ave., Suite 400, in Solana Beach. Tickets cost $10. To purchase tickets, visit jazzoncedros3. eventbrite.com. For information about Danes or to buy her album, visit www.annadanes.com.
‘Chapter Two’ lights up stage at North Coast Repertory Singer Anna Danes. Photo by Jon Clark as an attorney in Toronto before relocating to California 14 years ago. Since then, she has become a business owner and mother. A few years ago, when her then 7-year-old daughter refused to sing during the voice lessons she purchased at an auction, Danes stepped in. That’s when she realized music was her true passion.
North Coast Rep promises audiences plenty of laughs and a few knowing sighs when the lights come up on “Chapter Two,” written by America’s favorite playwright, Neil Simon. Based on events in Simon’s life, this charming comedy revolves around the recently widowed George and his neighbor, the recently divorced Jennie. Neither of these bruised souls is eager to reconnect with the opposite sex. Their journey of meeting, dating and forming a relationship is laced with Neil Simon’s golden touch. Romantic, rueful, touching and funny, this play is certain to delight and entertain. Reserve your seats now for the play The New York Times called “snappy, funny and movingly honest.” Artistic Director David Ellenstein is wearing two hats for this production — as co-director with Christopher Williams and as the bewildered George. The stellar cast includes Jacqueline Ritz, Louis Lotorto, and Mhari Sandoval. “Chapter Two” previews begin Feb. 25. Opening night at 8 p.m. Feb. 28 includes a post-show reception. The show will play at 7 p.m. Wednesdays, 8 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, 2 p.m. matinees Saturdays and Sundays, and at 7 p.m. Sundays, through March 22.There will be a special talk-back on March 6, with the cast and artistic director.

Audiences will find intrigue in ‘The Twenty-seventh Man’ BY DIANA SAENGER Actor Hal Linden and Old Globe Artistic Director Barry Edelstein pool their talents for the West Coast premiere of “The Twenty-seventh Man” opening Feb. 15 in Balboa Park. The play, which deals with the grim fate that befalls a group of Jewish writers in Russia under Stalin’s brutal rule, is written by award-winning novelist Nathan Englander and directed by Edelstein. The cast also features Ron Orbach, Robert Dorfman, Eli Gelb, James Shanklin and Lowell Byers. Linden plays Yiddish writer Yevgeny Zunser.

Many actors can research their roles from historical events, but that was not something Linden could do for this project. “I’ve been working on it,” he said. “There’s no research that speaks about this event to
my knowledge. I don’t have to be accurate historically, just true to the script. The subject is about the death of Yiddish, and you don’t have to research that too far; it’s almost gone … so few speak or write it anymore. More to the point, this play is about how you face impending doom, and find the humor in death, if you can. “When Barry and I talked about this sometime back, we went over some of the questions I had.

Let’s face it; rehearsal is the only place where an actor can come to life as a character, because somebody else wrote the play and someone else tells you how to say it and what to do.” Linden added that he is “very excited” to work with Edelstein and have the playwright there as well. “It’s in the rehearsal process that the discovery goes from ink to flesh,” Linden said. “And I love to work with directors because they have minds of information and possibilities, if they’re good. When you have a director that delves, digs and probes, it’s great.” With its message about tyranny and creativity, Edelstein and Linden both agree “The Twenty-seventh Man” resonates with today’s news headlines. “This is just the right play for ‘our’ audiences,” Edelstein said. “They compose people who value intelligence and a story with good, wide appeal.” Said Linden, “When I first read it, I kind of considered it a niche play that the audience might not have cared about, but with what’s going on in our world, it’s very relevant.” “The Twenty-seventh Man” runs matinees and evenings from Feb. 14-March 22 at The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park.

‘American Idol’ winner David Cook to perform at Belly Up Feb. 23 BY ROB LEDONNE It’s a Wednesday afternoon in Nashville, and David Cook is wrapping up rehearsals for his upcoming American tour, which takes him to Solana Beach’s Belly Up on Feb. 23. “Today’s kind of a getloose day,” he explained. “We’ve been doing a lot of tech stuff. Adding visual elements like lighting — stuff that makes us look cooler than we really are.” In reality, Cook doesn’t have to try hard to be cool. As the winner of the seventh season of the Fox favorite “American Idol,” Cook beat thousands of competitors to join a select few as the best singer in the land. “I won when I was 25,” he remembered of his run on the show in 2008. “I still don’t know if I’ve gotten used to whatever has happened since. From age zero to 25, I had one life, and then boom, it changed. I had to completely rewire from scratch. I’m eternally thankful it happened.” In the past seven years, Cook has maintained a good relationship with the show and still has fond memories of his experience. “They’ve been great about being open as a platform,” he explained. “Everyone from the show has this incredible connection that will last for the rest of our lives. From on the stage to behind the scenes, it’s a small-family vibe.” Winning the popular series propelled Cook’s music career into the stratosphere, from smash hit songs (like the Top 40 “Light On”), to two hit albums, and a variety of tours. Throughout his success, Cook has found plenty of inspiration for new material, including moving to Nashville from his home in suburban Kansas City.
‘American Idol’ winner David Cook performs Feb. 23 at the Belly Up Tavern. Courtesy photo “I’ve lived in both Kansas and Los Angeles,” he said. “While I loved them, I’ve found that Nashville has a mix of things I need for work and reminds me of Kansas as well. From the Southern vibe to good barbecue, and the fact that the creative community is more open as well.” Along with writing and recording material for himself, Cook is also supporting a side career as a blossoming songwriter for other artists. This past November, a song he wrote for country music singer David Nail called “Kiss Me Tonight” was included on Nail’s latest album. “I’ve always wanted to write for other people,” Cook said. “When I first came out here, I wrote ‘Kiss Me Tonight’ during my third writing session and it’s snowballed from there. Wearing different hats fulfills me creatively.” When Cook rolls into the Belly Up come Feb. 23, fans should expect a mix of his hits, songs he’s written for other artists, and some brand-new material from his next album, which is set for release later this year. “We wrote and recorded in my home studio and every day was enjoyable and fun,” said Cook of the as-yet-unreleased tracks. “Even if we didn’t come up with anything, I knew I was at least going to have a good time doing it. What I love is that there’s a song on this new record for everybody. I wanted to make a creative album I can be proud of, and I think we accomplished that.” As for performing at the Belly Up, Cook has a fondness for the venue — and San Diego in general. “When I was living in Los Angeles, whenever I had down time, I would take the trip downstate to San Diego,” he says. “The weather’s great and the people are fantastic, so I’m really looking forward to coming back.” According to Cook, the arduous lifestyle of touring becomes worth it when everything comes together. “As a performer, there’s nothing better than walking into a well-puttogether venue. A good band, a good show, and a good crowd is a really addictive combination.” The doors open at 7 p.m. on Feb. 23 and the show begins at 8 p.m. For more information, visit www.bellyup.com or www.davidcookofficial.com.

Frank Dowling presents â&#x20AC;&#x153;Alchemy: The Conjunction of Jung and Shakespeare,â&#x20AC;? at the Friends of Jung lecture set for 7:30 p.m. Feb. 20 at the Winston School in Del Mar. Carl Jung devoted the last decades of his life to single-handedly rescuing alchemy from the ash heap of history. His writings make abundantly clear that the imagery underlying its mystery and lore are a metaphorically rich projection of the individuation process (the journey of transformation toward psychic wholeness). In recent years, scholars have discovered and demonstrated that Shakespeareâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s poetry and dramatic structure are rife with alchemical imagery. The alchemical imagery deployed by Shakespeare evidences that his understanding of psychic transformation â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and his dramas are about the psychic transformation of his major characters â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is just like Jungâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.
With particular emphasis on â&#x20AC;&#x153;Macbeth,â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hamlet,â&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;King Lear,â&#x20AC;? Dowling will explore how analytical psychology provides new insights into Shakespeare interpretation. Since retiring more than 12 years ago, Dowling has been involved with the San Diego Friends of Jung, where he served as president for two years. Over the past nine years, he has actively participated in a monthly seminar on the Mysterium Coniunctionis, Jungâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s work on alchemy. Coffee, tea and refreshments are available before each lecture starting at 7 p.m. Admission is $10 for full-time students, $15 FOJ members and senior citizens (65+), and $20 non-members. The Winston School is at 215 9th St., Del Mar. Visit http://www.jungsandiego. com.

The event will be held from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 21, at Canyon Crest Academy. Best-selling authors and many other writing professionals will provide inspirational and educational workshops to students of San Diego-area high schools. Because of the generosity of conference sponsors Summa Education, Chipotle, Ranch and Coast Magazine, Wells Fargo, and PrintNet, as well as fundraising by the Creative Writing Club, this event is free to high school students. Sponsors are still welcome! Learn more about sponsorship opportunities at http://ccawritersconference2015.weebly.com/. The CCA Writing Conference is the only free writing conference for high school students in the country. Conferences of this caliber normally cost hundreds of dollars, so this is a unique opportunity for San Diego teens. Pre-registraSandra Maas tion is required. This year’s keynote address will be provided by Jonathan Maberry, New York Times best-selling author, four-time Bram Stoker Award winner, and comic book writer. Several of Maberry’s novels are in development for movies and TV including “V-Wars,” “Extinction Machine,” “Rot & Ruin,” and “Dead of Night.” Recent additions to the speaker line-up are: • Dr. Adam Lowenstein, UCLA professor, author, and currently vice president of counseling and enrollment at Summa Education, will present “If Dickens Had a Podcast: The New Old Art of Writing a Serial.” Lowenstein will dissect the serial to discover what it is about this weirdly addictive narrative style that has been so deliciously compelling for the past two centuries. • Kathy Aarons, author of the best-selling “Death Is Like a Box of Chocolates,” first in the Chocolate Covered Mystery series by Berkley Prime Crime, will discuss “The Road to Publication,” a look into what happens once you get your book contract and what to expect when your book hits the shelves. • Chris Hamilton, founder of Hamilton College Consulting, will present “Why William Faulkner and James Joyce Wouldn’t Get into Berkeley: Storytelling in Your College Essay.” Hamilton has helped literally hundreds of students gain access to Ivy-level universities, and thousands find a path to colleges of all descriptions.
CCA’s Envision Theatre partners with Voices for Children Canyon Crest Academy Envision Theatre is partnering with Voices for Children to provide theater tickets to foster youth through the CASA program. Voices for Children is the only organization in San Diego and Riverside Counties authorized to recruit, train, and supervise Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) for abused and neglected children. CASA volunteers will be offered free tickets, and will have the opportunity to bring children to one of CCA Envision Theater’s upcoming plays: “Don’t Drink the Water” by Woody Allen, Feb. 12, 19, 20 and 21 at the CCA Black Box Theater; or “Evita” by Andrew Lloyd Weber, March 6, 7, 12, 13, and 14 in the Proscenium Theater. Students will also be offering post-show “talk-backs” where audience members can ask questions of the cast, crew and director. “We are grateful to the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation for offering their youth theatre tickets to our volunteer advocates and the foster youth we serve,” said Sharon M. Lawrence, President/CEO at Voices for Children. “This partnership will offer a new cultural experience for foster youth in San Diego County and perhaps inspire some of them to become involved in the performing arts.” Canyon Crest Academy Parents and the Community can support this program by purchasing tickets for Voices for Children/CASA through the CCA Envision website, either as they order their own tickets by just adding an extra ticket under the CASA ticket tab. If they cannot attend the show themselves, they can simply buy a ticket under the CASA ticket tab. For just $6 per ticket, you can make a big impact on a foster youth in San Diego.

‘West Side Story’ revival at Spreckels Theatre to hit some different notes BY ROB LEDONNE “West Side Story,” the renowned New York City-set musical that centers on the epic rivalry between the Sharks and Jets street gangs and features a host of familiar songs, is coming to San Diego in an all-new interpretation by the San Diego Musical Theatre. Kicking off Feb. 13 for a three-week run, the production is the nonprofit’s first of the year, taking place at its new home in the Spreckels Theatre. “I’m very excited about this,” said Jessica Soza, who plays Maria in the musical. “This is Broadway-level in every regard. The acting is unbelievable and the dancing is crazy good. This is how you want to experience it.” Soza should know. As a San Diego Musical Theatre’s production of ‘West Side former resident of Fontana, Calif., who is a graduate of Story’ will run from Feb. 13 to March 1 at the Spreckels Los Angeles’ American Musi- Theatre. Jessica Soza (top, center) is shown above with cal and Dramatic Academy, some of the show’s cast members. she’s reprising her role in San Diego after going on the musical’s international tour last year. “I was so excited that this was coming to San Diego, since a lot of my family couldn’t see me do the show while I was in Europe,” she said. “This production is probably the best collaboration of people in Southern California. It’s such a high standard of quality. Plus, other than the dancing and singing, I think people will be moved by the message of the show.” For Soza, being cast in both the international and San Diego productions of the musical couldn’t have come at a better time. “Before I auditioned, I was ready to give it all up,” she explained of the difficult world of being an actress. “Luckily, I landed the part and it wound up changing my life. It’s good to be home now and ride the coattails of this show. It’s the only one I have no problem doing over and over again.” It didn’t hurt that Soza had months of performances of the international version under her belt when it came time to audition for the San Diego production. “I had a lot to bring to the table since I was playing this part for so long,” Soza pointed out. “At the same time, I was ready to strip the part down and learn a new way of doing it.” The first-ever production of “West Side Story” hit Broadway in 1957, and since then the show has been revived numerous times, most recently in 2009. Audiences perhaps best know the 1961 film version, which starred Natalie Wood and Rita Moreno and won 10 Academy Awards that year, including Best Picture. Soza notes that the movie version differs from the Broadway show. “I haven’t seen the movie in a long time because I wanted to find my own character,” she said. “But there was some editing to the story and songs in the movie that the musical expands on and will be neat for people to experience.” After weeks of rehearsals, she said she and her cast and crew are ready. “I can’t wait,” Soza said. “I’m so grateful for this opportunity.” San Diego Musical Theatre’s production of “West Side Story” runs from Feb. 13-March 1.

La Paloma hosts world music March 1 with Yemen Blues and Ravid Kahalani The Center for Jewish Culture in collaboration with the House of Israel and A Culture of Peace will present Yemen Blues — with Ravid Kahalani in a San Diego premiere performance. The show, sponsored by the Leichtag Foundation, will be at 7:30 p.m. March 1 at the La Paloma Theatre in Encinitas. Hailed by Time Out Chicago as “one of the most exciting bands in world music right now,” Yemen Blues creates a joyous sound that mixes Yemenite, West African and jazz influences. Yemenite vocalist and composer Kahalani leads a rare combination of musicians from New York, Uruguay and Tel Aviv to produce thoroughly original music that ranges from blues to funk and mambo to African soul. Yemen Blues is about creating what Kahalani calls “moments of soul,” swooping from clear falsetto into a gravelly baritone, switching from Yemenite Arabic to Hebrew to Haitian Creole. Tickets are on sale now through the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center. Visit www.sdcjc.org/pas or call the box office at 858-362-1348. The La Paloma Theatre is not selling tickets for Yemen Blues. Tickets are $20 for JCC members and $25 for the general public. La Paloma Theatre is at 471 S. Coast Highway 101, Encinitas.

Girl Scouts selling 2 new cookie varieties this year Girl Scouts are now selling cookies in front of neighborhood stores, including the Carmel Valley Ralphs, Rite Aid, Shell Car Wash and Vons; and the Del Mar Albertsons and Vons. To find a booth near you, or download the cookie finder app, visit www.sdgirlscouts.org/cookies. This year’s cookie offerings include two brand-new varieties — crisp Rah-Rah Raisins and gluten-free Toffee-tastics with Greek yogurtflavored chips — along with returning favorites Thin The Girl Scouts of Carmel Valley-Del Mar Junior Troop Mints, Samoas, Do-si-dos, 1732 Troop 1732 donated groceries purchased with Trefoils and Tagalongs. The Toffee-tastics are available on cookie funds to the Encinitas Resource Center, where a limited basis through a pi- they volunteer. Left to right: Aysu, Mason and Leyla. lot program. Other new developments include the Digital Cookie program, a secure platform through which Girl Scouts (with parental approval) can sell cookies online for the first time to people they know. And, to celebrate the 40th anniversary of Samoa cookies, customers who spend $40 receive a free box of Samoas, while supplies last. Every penny from each $5 box of cookies stays in San Diego and Imperial Counties to fund troop activities and other local Girl Scout opportunities. The proceeds finance events, camp, volunteer training, facilities and financial aid for nearly 40,000 local girl and adult members. The Girl Scout Cookie Program continues through March 8. Participants include the Girl Scouts Carmel Valley-Del Mar Junior Troop 1732. They are among the more than 2,200 Girl Scouts who live in the two community areas. Troop 1732 uses cookie dollars to discover, connect and take action! They often volunteer, for example, at the Encinitas Resource Center, which assists needy families and victims of domestic violence. The girls also donated groceries to the center, purchased with cookie proceeds. In addition, they fund troop year-round activities and adventures. Surfing is a favorite pastime, thanks to cookie-funded lessons they took last season. The Girl Scout Cookie Program is the world’s largest girl-led business, teaching important lessons about setting goals, making decisions, money management, people skills and business ethics. Girl Scouts also help serve the military by inviting customers to donate cookies to Operation Thin Mint, a local program that started in 2002. To learn more about Girl Scout opportunities in the Carmel Valley-Del Mar area, contact Joselyn Poggi at jpoggi@sdgirlscouts.org, or 619-619-0708. Visit www.sdgirlscouts.org.

Healthcare Trends to Watch in 2015 Between the recent changes in our nation’s health insurance system and the rapid and radical advances in technology, 2015 promises to be an important year in healthcare. Here are a few of the big trends and changes you can expect to see as our health system grows and evolves. 1. Wearables & Smart Technology The biggest trend that has already begun and will only continue to grow and expand in 2015 is that of wearable technology. This technology uses smart-linked devices and mobiles apps to monitor a patient’s health and send data to physicians. Physicians and nurses are exceedingly open to this technology as it limits the amount of patients they need to physically see, and as patients begin to trust the technology, they too will be on board as it will limit their trips to the doctor’s office. You
can read more about this new revolutionary technology in my November column. 2. Privacy Due to this radical movement in the way that we collect, store and transfer health information, 2015 will see a push and pull between convenience and privacy. As the health industry moves into the digital age, privacy will give way to convenience to a certain extent. This, however, is not something patients are agreeable with just yet. In a recent HRI Consumer Survey, 73% of consumers say that data security was still more important than convenience. 3. Transparency 2015 will see the introduction of a lot of new high-priced products and specialty drugs. But with these, patients and consumers will be expecting and demanding clear, defined evidence of positive health outcomes. This, combined with our ever-growing world of instant-information at our fingertips, will call for a new movement in transparency. In fact, there are new initiatives focused on the transparency of clinical trial data, real-world patient outcomes, and financial relationships between physicians and pharmaceutical companies. This trend should only serve to improve the healthcare system.

4. The Newly Insured Thanks to the Affordable Care Act, 2015 will see 10 million newly insured consumers. That’s a huge number, and the effects should be widespread. Ultimately, we can expect this to mean better care management programs, a demand for systems to run more smoothly and efficiently, and it also might mean a shift in marketing strategies. 5. The Millennial Generation The millennial generation (those born between 1981 – 2000) is actually a larger group than the baby boomers. And now that the boomers are retiring and the nation’s job market is improving, the health industry will see a shift in how providers and insurers look to attract and retain this new younger health generation of nearly 80 million millennials. 6. Expanding the “Extenders” Considering the great number of newly insured health consumers combined with the enormous size of the generation now coming into prime adulthood, doctors are going to have to start delegating tasks and relying on “extenders” to carry some of the workload. This means a greater need for and reliance on nurses, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and pharmacists. And research shows that the majority of patients have
comfort and trust in seeing these care-givers. In 2015, doctors will no longer be our first line of care. 7. Partnerships & Collaborations Along with this new dependence on extended care-givers, 2015 will also see a movement towards new open collaborations and non-traditional partnerships. For many healthcare companies, this will be a very new way of doing business, but it seems to be the way of the future. In the last year or so, the major healthcare companies formed over 70 distinct partnerships in up to 9 different categories, such as supply distribution, care coordination, research & development, and consumer education among others. It is clear that there are a lot of changes happening in the healthcare industry, and we are hoping that most of them are for the better. At the Encinitas Nursing and Rehabilitation Center we pride ourselves on being at the forefront of technology and the next movement in healthcare, but we also never lose sight that the patient’s needs are always the first priority.

Assembly Speaker Atkins guest speaker Feb. 19 in SB The Rancho Santa Fe Democratic Club welcomes Toni Atkins, speaker of the California Assembly, at its Feb. 19 meeting. Atkins is the first speaker from San Diego and the first openly LGBT speaker. She represents the 78th Assembly District, a mostly-coastal district stretching from Solana Beach and Del Mar to Imperial Beach and includes Balboa Park and downtown San Diego. Born into poverty in rural western Virginia, Atkins grew up in a house with no running water. She graduated from a small private college close to home in the Virginia Appalachians and moved to San Diego in 1985. Atkins served on the staff of San Diego Councilmember Christine Kehoe. When Kehoe was elected to the Assembly, Atkins was elected to Kehoe’s council seat in 2000 and reelected in 2004. Atkins was elected to the California Assembly in 2010 and re-elected in 2012 and 2014. The redistricting of 2011 brought Solana Beach and Del Mar into her 78th District. She will term out in 2016. Atkins will speak at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club, 1505 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Members: $15; guests: $25. Seating limited. RSVP by Monday, Feb. 16, to rsfdem.org.

Valentine’s Day and Chinese New Year enliven February The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN The docile Year of the Sheep rears its shy woolly head as it brings in a period of calmness and tranquility less than a week after steamy Valentine’s Day. The Eastern Chinese sheep or goat is a beloved symbol of harmony, mild-mannered determination and imagination. This Chinese New Year will be one of many changes in romantic relations for Sheep people, including singles getting hitched. Whether you’re a Sheep person or were born under another Chinese zodiac sign you can still celebrate love and the Chinese New Year with traditional customs and dishes. So sit back, it’s going to be a smooth and heartfelt ride with a lot of interesting,
lustful and exotic culinary creations. The Chinese New Year is like a celebratory combo plate – a blending of family reunion, gift giving, reverence for ancestors and an attitude of gratitude. The holiday is shrouded in sweet and sour rituals and superstitions revolving around a gustatory orgy during the 15-day hoopla that kicks off Feb. 19. The feasting begins on New Year’s Eve, the delicacies including prawns for liveliness and happiness, dried oysters for a fine life (and high-octane aphrodisiac boost), and a raw fish salad to herald a year of good luck and prosperity. On New Year’s Day the family enjoys “jai,” a vegetarian medley of lotus seed to hedge the odds for producing many male offspring, dried bean curd for the fulfillment of wealth and happiness, and bamboo shoots to wish members of the household good health. Other traditional foods are a whole fish to symbolize togetherness, a chicken for prosperity, the presentation including its head, tail and feet to represent completeness, and uncut noodles for longevity. For your just desserts homemade fortune cookies dipped in bittersweet chocolate make us all a little more passionate. Customize these treats with creative, romantic or fun Confucius-inspired wisdom tucked inside. Oddly, this novelty confection does not have Chinese roots, rather a Japanese immigrant lays a solid claim to its creation, while it has been popularized by Americans with a yen for Chinese cuisine. That’s the way the fortune cookie crumbles – with three billion mass-produced yearly in this country, 60 million alone from Long Island’s Wonton Food Company every month. Now try your luck at baking a batch of fortune cookies. Here are some kitschy messages you are free to use when concocting your from scratch treats: “Only you can make my heart crumble ...” “Flattery will get you everywhere tonight.” “Where there is love there is life.” If you have a yen for additional Chinese New Year or romantic Valentine’s Day recipes e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com.
Homemade Chocolate Dipped Fortune Cookies Ingredients 2 egg whites 1/2 cup unbleached flour 1/2 cup super-fine sugar 1 teaspoon almond, vanilla, lemon or orange extract Pinch of salt 8 ounces of bittersweet chocolate 1/3 cup of chopped toasted almonds, hazelnuts or pistachios Method: Print messages on strips of colorful paper (3 inches long by 1/2 inch wide). Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line two cookie sheets with lightly greased parchment paper. Beat the egg whites and extract until frothy.
In a separate bowl combine dry ingredients and add to the egg whites. (For less doughy cookies, add 2 tablespoons of cold water). Drop 3 or 4 circles of batter about 4 inches in diameter, well-spaced on each cookie sheet. Bake one sheet at a time until golden, about 5
minutes. Lift each cookie with a spatula, flip upside down and transfer to a flat surface. Place the fortune paper strip in the middle of the cookie, then fold in half. Transfer the cookie to the rim of a juice glass, and pull the pointed edges downward, one inside the glass, one outside. Let cool. Break chocolate into small pieces and place in a bowl over a pot of gently boiling water. Stir until melted. Dip the bottom end of the fortune cookie in the chocolate, coating the tip. Sprinkle the chocolate portion with desired chopped nuts and place on a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper. Refrigerate until the chocolate is set, about one hour. Gung Hay Fat Choy!

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Having frequently traveled for business and pleasure, sisters Shelli Pelly and Vickie Nezat saw a need for functional, stylish travel gear for women. Looking to meet that need in the marketplace, the pair launched women’s luxury lifestyle brand, Jessie Georgina, in mid-November. “You should demand more from your products,” said Pelly, co-founder and chief operating officer of Jessie Georgina. “You should demand they fit and suit your lifestyle.” Jessie Georgina’s debut collection, “Solana Beach,” features five products, including a travel tote, four-in-one belt bag, twoin-one wallet and clutch, two-in-one cosmetic and toiletry bag, and toiletry bag. One of the line’s most popular items is the Wind-n-Sea toiletry bag, which offers extra space for products, while still adhering to the Transportation Security Administration’s 3-1-1 liquids rule. After all, it was designed by Nezat, who worked for the TSA after the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks. “She comes up with a lot of these really cool organizational features and figures out how to make them work,” Pelly said. “With this design, you can fit more products.” Another popular product, Pelly said, is the four-in-one Trestles belt bag. With a removable strap, it can be used as a belt bag, cross-body, clutch and wallet. “Some of the pieces will grow on you because you don’t realize how ineffective and non-functional a lot of your pieces are until you have something that is actually specifically made for you,” said Pelly, a longtime San Diego resident who lives near the Rancho Santa Fe polo fields. “We get so used to things not really working for us and making do.” Originally from Seattle, Pelly and Nezat grew up in a military family, with their father a member of the U.S. Coast Guard. Pelly, who’s just a year and a half older than Nezat, graduated from the University of San Diego with a bachelor’s degree in mass media communications. After earning her degree, she spent 15 years in the corporate sector as a director of sales in telecommunications and Internet technology. Nezat earned a bachelor’s degree in history from the University of Oregon, and spent 11 years working for the government. Living in Carmel Valley, she works as a consultant in addition to serving as co-founder and chief creative officer of Jessie Georgina. Although the sisters worked in different sectors for most of their lives, they have always dreamed of building a business together, especially one that would cater to wom-
NOVEL
en, Pelly said. “We always knew at some point we were going to go into business together, and it was going to be something that would help make women’s lives better and easier,” Pelly said. “It’s something that’s just been positive. I don’t know that I would have done it with somebody who wasn’t my sister.” The pair formed the business in 2011, naming it after their late grandmother, Jessie Georgina. Nezat created the initial designs, while Pelly selected the materials and colors. “It took on a life of its own and we both started coming up with ideas,” Pelly said. “Then it evolved to changing things that we didn’t like in the marketplace and making them better.” Because many customers have adapted the travel pieces for everyday use, the sisters plan to launch another collection geared for businesswomen. The collection, which will debut in late June or early July, will feature a tote and a portfolio, among other products. “We want to cover the gamut of travel, business and everyday,” Pelly said. Jessie Georgina is available online and at Madison Leather & Luggage at the Flower Hill Promenade in Del Mar. Four other shops in San Diego and Orange counties plan to carry the products in the spring, Pelly said. Besides collaborating on their second collection, the sisters are also looking at ways to give back to the community through Jessie Georgina. Jessie Georgina will be the exclusive bag and accessory designer showcased at the “Hearts, Hats and Heels” charity luncheon Feb. 12 at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. At the event, 20 percent of proceeds will benefit After the Finish Line, a nonprofit that contributes funds to organizations that rescue, rehabilitate and find new homes for thoroughbreds. The company is also donating 20 percent of its online “ATFL” promo code sales throughout February. The sisters are also donating Jessie Georgina products for “Date Night for a Cause,” a March 20 benefit for Rady Children’s Hospital at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, as well as an upcoming Challenged Athletes Foundation fundraiser. “We’re very committed to giving back and giving back within the community,” Pelly said.” Visit www.jessiegeorgina.com.

on talk shows, tabloids and gossipy websites. Jake schemes with his agent to make the most of the media attention headed his way. The book is meant to be a fun read, while also allowing Brass, a former media critic and commentator for the Los Angeles Times, to examine today’s celebrity-obsessed media, from TMZ to Buzzfeed to Access Hollywood, where he also once worked. “I do feel like I bring an insider’s perspective to this world,” Brass said. Another thread running through the novel is the way that the lines of demarcation between traditional media, such as newspapers and television news, and their celebrity- tracking brethren, have become less defined. “That line is blurring. You’re seeing the style and tone and thought process of celebrity coverage seeping into the traditional
media,” he said. When Brass isn’t working on a novel, he covers such issues as development, urban planning, architecture and real estate trends for a variety of publications and websites, including the International New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, the Urban Land Institute and OZY.com. He recently spent a year and a half living and working in Dubai. “The Cult of Truland” was something he’d been thinking about for a while. “This was a book I felt I needed to write,” he said. “It’s been gestating for many years.” Brass will give a talk about celebrity journalism and his book at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 25, at the Del Mar Library, 1309 Camino del Mar, Del Mar. Admission to the event is free.
