High school district OKs 3-year contract extension for Superintendent Schmitt BY KAREN BILLING Superintendent Rick Schmitt will be leading the San Dieguito Union High School District for three more years, as the board approved an extension to his contract through 2018. “I think we have really won the lottery having Rick Schmitt as superintendent,” trustee Joyce Dalessandro

said at the Sept. 3 meeting. The vote was not unanimous, with trustee John Salazar voting against the extension. “We haven’t agreed on everything,” Salazar said of his relationship with Schmitt. “But even if we had, I don’t think (the extension) is necessary.” Salazar has stated sever-

Attendance down, wagering up at 2015 Del Mar summer meet BY JOE TASH Attendance was down at this summer’s horse racing meet at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, but the total amount of money bet on races was up thanks to satellite and Internet wagering. “Overall, it was a successful meet,” Josh Rubinstein, executive vice president of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, said at a meeting of the 22nd District Agricultural Association Board of Directors on Tuesday, Sept. 8, the day after the 40-day summer race meet closed. Attendance at the 2015 summer race meet was 582,000, compared to 595,000 in 2014, or a decline of 2 percent, Rubinstein said after the meeting. One factor in the attendance drop-off was the weather during opening weekend in July, when San Diego County experienced lightning, thunder and rain. “You don’t want to make excuses... but we’ve never had rain impact the summer meet,” Rubinstein said. Due to the inclement weather, attendance on opening weekend was down about 50 percent, from the typical 45,000 to about 23,000. “We definitely started out in a bit of a hole,” Rubinstein said. Another factor in the drop in average daily attendance, said Rubinstein, was the addition last year of a fall racing meet to Del Mar’s schedule. That turned Del Mar from a “boutique” race meet to “a major player in the horse racing industry in California,” Rubinstein said. This year’s five-week fall meet begins on Oct. 29. While attendance was down, the overall “handle,” or amount wagered on horse races at Del Mar, was up 10 percent during this year’s summer meet, to $486 million, RubinSee MEET, page 20

al times that he doesn’t think there should be a contract, that administrators should be “at-will employees.” He said he also believes that there is still time on the contract, and the board should wait until the end of the contract to renew it. As a result of the board’s non-unanimous 3-2 votes last month in support

of extending the contracts of Associate Superintendents Eric Dill, Torrie Norton and Michael Grove, several teachers were present to support Schmitt. Jacquelyn Karney, an English teacher at Diegueno Middle School, said she appreciates the efforts Schmitt makes on behalf of all students, frequently visiting

campuses and classrooms. “It’s obvious he enjoys talking to the students,” Karney said. “He always has a big smile on his face and you can tell he genuinely loves what he’s doing.” Karney said more than his friendly interactions with district staff, students See CONTRACT, page 21

Del Mar council keeps advisory committee on design review process intact BY KRISTINA HOUCK Despite a divided community, the Del Mar City Council stood by its appointments to a new committee that will address whether changes need to be made to the city’s design review process. “I’m happy with the committee,” said Councilman Dwight Worden. “I think they’re off to a good start. I think they’re doing a great job so far.” The council established the ad-hoc development review process citizens’ advisory committee in an effort to improve Del Mar’s design review process — a process intended to preserve and protect the community character. Although the council created the committee in response to the community’s concerns about the city’s design review process, the way the committee was appointed also sparked concerns over the summer. Community members initially expressed their dissatisfaction with the city’s development and design review process in a citizen satisfaction survey conducted Nov. 20 through Jan. 12.

DM council to consider alternatives Alice and friends to star at next year’s county fair to tourism district at next meeting • Final decision on renewal to come in October BY KRISTINA HOUCK Despite the looming deadline, the Del Mar City Council is delaying its decision on whether to renew the city’s Tourism Business Improvement District. At the request of Councilmen Don Mosier and Terry Sinnott, the council on Sept. 8 continued the second public meeting on the subject to Sept. 21. A public hearing will take place Oct. 19. “I’ve had so many proposals in front of me, and so many reports, but I don’t know the best interest of Del Mar at this point,” Deputy Mayor Sherryl Parks said. The council authorized formation of the district in September 2010, allowing hotel operators to charge guests a 1 percent fee that’s used to attract more visitors to the city. Five years later, the district is set to automatically expire at the end of September. The council on July 6 declared its intention to renew the district, prompting a public meeting on July 20 regarding the renewal. Although the district was seeking a 10year extension, the council, at that time, asked the district to bring back a proposal for a five-year term with a reopener and to identify metrics and performance goals that would allow early termination. The council also asked for an alternate proposal on how to support the ongoing marketing efforts without the district. The

council scheduled a second public meeting for Sept. 8 to address alternative options and set a public hearing for Sept. 21 to consider the approval of the district. Since then, Mosier and Sinnott requested a continuance on both the meeting and the hearing. In a letter dated Aug. 22, Mosier and Sinnott said that the first proposal is defined, but the second proposal needs to be described more thoroughly. In a 3-1 vote with Sinnott absent, the council continued the second public meeting to Sept. 21 and the public hearing to Oct. 19. Voting against the motion, Mayor Al Corti said he disagreed with the reason for the continuance. “From my perspective, this discussion has been going on for four years,” he said. “The last six or nine months have been pretty intense in trying to figure out if this is the right course of action or not, and is there a better alternative.” Mosier, however, said he felt no alternative had been “fleshed out.” The Finance Committee has also since reviewed the issue and made recommendations. The committee requested specific metrics from the district, including quarterly financial data. The committee also explored the city’s annual cancellation rights, recomSee TOURISM, page 21

BY JOE TASH Expect tea parties, croquet games, the Mad Hatter and Queen of Hearts and white rabbits to be found at next year’s San Diego County Fair. At its meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 8, the board that oversees the Del Mar fairgrounds unanimously approved an Alice in Wonderland theme — “Mad About the Fair” — for the 2016 edition of the San Diego County Fair. The theme promises “a weird, wacky and whimsical experience” for all ages, but is especially targeted at younger generations such as Millennials — born in the ’80s — and GenZers, born from the mid- to late-’90s, said Katie Mueller, the fair’s exhibits manager. The theme will also include a nod to “steampunk,” an artistic movement that embraces fantasy and science fiction, as well as technology and designs inspired by 19th Century steam-powered industrial machinery, said Mueller. “It is unique, it is different,” said Frederick Schenk, president of the 22nd District Agricultural Association board. “I think this theme would attract a lot of attention and create a lot of positive buzz.” The board also approved dates for the 2016 fair, which will open at 4 p.m. on Friday, June 3, and close on Monday, July 4. The 25½-day schedule is one day longer than the run of the 2015 fair, which ended in July. The fair will be closed on Mondays except for July 4, and on the first two Tuesdays, said a fair spokeswoman.

District uses Healthy Kids Survey to help shape how they keep students safe • E-cigarette use is up at middle and high school levels BY KAREN BILLING As part of their ongoing discussions about student safety and support, the San Dieguito Union School District board members recently took a look at the results of the 2014-15 Healthy Kids Survey, a tool the district uses to develop ways to create interventions specific to the needs of students in areas such as drug use and physical and mental health. About 7,000 students participated in the survey between February and April 2015. The board discussed the survey at its Sept. 3 meeting. According to the survey, lifetime and past-month use of marijuana and other drug use is down among middle school students, although e-cigarette use is up from 2 percent to 9.78 percent. At the high school level, e-cig or “vape pen” use has jumped from 17 percent to 33 percent lifetime and from 8 percent to 18 percent in the past 30 days. Lifetime and past-month numbers for almost all substances stayed the same or dropped in high schools. Trustee Mo Muir reiterated that she has a lot of concerns about drugs in the high schools. “It’s still going on and it’s scary,” Muir said. “As a parent, I’m very afraid.” Tiffany Findell, a counselor with the district’s READI program, spoke about the efforts the district takes to address drug and alcohol issues with students. The READI program is the district’s suspension alternative for students who are found to be in possession of alcohol or drugs, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.

The student completes two days of classroom education at La Costa Canyon, 10 hours of community service, five hours of recovery meetings, journaling and self-reflective activities and participation in a minimum of six counseling sessions. Of those who have gone through the READI program, Findell said, only 10 percent have repeat issues. Findell said she likes looking at the Healthy Kids Survey because it gives the district insight on its strengths as well as ways it can continue to improve. She said a high point of the survey was that 93 percent of middle school students and 94 percent of high school students feel that a teacher or other adult at school cares about them, with numbers increasing for students who said they feel safe at school. There was a slight increase at the middle school and high school levels for students who reported feeling so sad that they stopped doing usual activities, something Findell said they should keep an eye on. Findell said there is opportunity for improvement in two areas: Only 68 percent of high school students reported feeling as if they were part of the school, and students who identified as non-white had the lowest rates on questions pertaining to school connectedness. As part of the discussion on student safety and support, Rick Ayala, director of pupil services and alternative programs and principal at Sunset High School, talked about the district’s “restorative practices.” Restorative practices are efforts made to

“humanize” everyone involved and get to the reason why a student is acting a certain way. “It’s a more proactive approach. It can be reactive, too, but we’re looking to prevent negative behavior,” Ayala said. An effort is made to have students feel that those in authority positions are doing things with them, giving students a sense of ownership about what’s going on and what’s expected of them. “We bring the student in to become a part of the solution, rather than just handing out punishment,” Ayala said. “It’s a very effective tool.” He also reported that suspensions and expulsions are below the state rate and have seen a dramatic decline over the past seven years. In the 2008-09 school year, there were 669 suspensions and 20 expulsions; and last year, there were 204 suspensions and eight expulsions. Ayala said he believes there are a number of reasons why the numbers have dropped, including district and site-level communication to address and prevent issues, more activities that promote inclusiveness and the fact that the culture has changed and students are more willing to report things they are concerned about.

Sustainability Resource Fair, Climate Action Plan open house set for Sept. 24 The city of Del Mar is hosting a Sustainability Resource Fair and Climate Action Plan open house from 6-8 p.m. Sept. 24 at the Powerhouse Community Center, 1658 Coast Blvd., Del Mar, CA, 92014. For the past few years, the city’s Sustainability Advisory Board has been developing a multi-faceted Climate Action Plan and updating the city’s Greenhouse Gas Inventory. The Climate Action Plan will set targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2020 and 2035, identify strategies to meet the targets, formulate a plan for implementation, and discuss ways the city needs to adapt to the effects of climate change already occurring or anticipated to occur, such as sea level rise and water supply shortages. The purpose of the Sept. 24 Sustainability Resource Fair and Climate Action Plan open house is to provide residents with an opportunity to share their thoughts on the main components and strategies included in the draft Climate Action Plan. Attendees will also be able to learn about resources to improve the environmental sustainability of their home or business from the following agencies: city of Del Mar, Waste Management, San Diego County Water Authority, San Diego Gas and Electric, Center for Sustainable Energy, the San Diego Foundation and others. The Climate Action Plan will be presented to the City Council for consideration and recommended adoption later this year.

Kidnap suspect posts $5 million Additional charges filed against Solana Beach man bond, is released from Vista jail BY SUSAN SHRODER SPECIAL TO THE DEL MAR TIMES/CARMEL VALLEY NEWS/SOLANA BEACH SUN A man accused in separate attempted kidnappings of girls at Solana Beach elementary schools has posted bail in the latest case. Jack Henry Doshay, 22, of Fairbanks Ranch posted $5 million bond and was released Thursday, Sept. 3, from Vista Jail, a jail employee said. After a grand jury indictment, Doshay pleaded not guilty Wednesday, Sept. 2, in Vista Superior Court to charges including false imprisonment and assault with intent to commit a lewd act on a child. The charges stem from an incident on Sept. 7, 2010, when a man lured a 5-year-old girl to a shed at Solana Santa Fe Elementary School, grabbed her and tried to remove her pants, a prosecutor said. She screamed and kicked him, and he ran away. No arrest was made. The victim’s family contacted law enforcement after seeing Doshay in news reports related to his arrest in an earlier case. In April, Doshay pleaded not guilty to kidnapping and other charges related to a March 23 attack on a 7-year-old outside Skyline Elementary School. In that case, the girl also fought back, and the assailant fled. Doshay had been released from jail on $2.5 million bond. He has been living in a locked facility and receiving psychiatric treatment. He must wear a GPS ankle bracelet and his location is monitored 24 hours a day. His attorney, Paul Pfingst, has said his client has a long history of depression. Doshay is the son of Glenn Doshay, a minority owner of the San Diego Padres.

‘Savvy Social Security’ at Del Mar Library The Del Mar Library and Del Mar Community Connections will cohost “Savvy Social Security,” a workshop led by Guy Ellison, Social Security and retirement income strategies consultant with Thrivent Financial. Ellison will teach the basics of Social Security and discuss the best way to optimize the program’s benefits, with the goal of describing how these benefits fit into participants’ overall retirement income pictures. The workshop will take place at 1:30 p.m. Sept. 17 at the library. The Del Mar Branch Library is at 1309 Camino Del Mar. Call the library at 858-755-1666.

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Child sex and molestation counts were added Sept. 8 against a Solana Beach man previously charged with child pornography and also facing similar accusations in San Bernardino County. Sean Patrick O’Farrell, 40, pleaded not guilty last month in Vista Superior Court to possession of child pornography and was ordered held on $250,000 bail. Prosecutors added five charges Sept. 8, including felony counts of contact with a minor to commit a sex offense and attending a sex meeting with a minor and misdemeanor child molest. The defendant had posted bail to get out of jail in San Bernardino County days before he was re-arrested Aug. 26. A search of the home he shares with his mother turned up DVDs containing pornography featuring young boys, according to San Diego County sheriff’s officials. O’Farrell is accused in the San Bernardino County case of approaching a 15-year-old boy at a library in Rancho Cucamonga and offering him money for sex. Authorities believe he has committed similar crimes at libraries in San Diego County, including in his coastal hometown. Deputy District Attorney Jeffrey Dort declined to discuss the San Diego case. O’Farrell faces a Sept. 25 readiness conference and Oct. 29 preliminary hearing.

Mobile app will help report water waste The San Diego County Water Authority launched a smartphone app that enables users across the region to report water waste — such as broken sprinklers, excess irrigation, and potential violations of local water-use rules — with the option of including a photo or video. The Water Authority developed the app — “When in Drought, Report Waste” — in partnership with its 24 member water agencies to help inform property owners, meet state water-use reduction targets, and avoid state fines. When a report is submitted for a location in Del Mar, the app will automatically send an email with all the details to savewater@delmar.ca.us, which is the city’s email address for reporting water waste situations. A code enforcement officer will follow up on these reports and work with the property owner to correct any issues. The app is free and available for both iPhone and Android devices through their respective app stores. There also is a link to the app on the Water Authority’s website, www.sdcwa. org/when-in-drought-report-waste-mobile-app. In addition to this app, Del Mar has its own water-waste reporting form on the city’s home page at www.delmar.ca.us. For information about the drought, including water conservation resources, visit www. whenindrought.org, or www.delmar.ca.us/WaterConservation, or contact Management Services Director Kristen Crane at 858-755-9313, ext. 132.

Solana Beach artist’s show offers impressionist view of four beautiful sites BY KRISTINA HOUCK From the California coast to the Swiss Alps, Solana Beach’s John Modesitt captures some of the most stunning settings across the country and around the world. Starting Sept. 12, Modesitt will unveil a new collection during a five-day exhibit at his Solana Beach home. The exhibit will feature nearly 60 new paintings, inspired by Modesitt’s latest excursions. “This is the culmination of four different areas,” Modesitt said. “It’s a super show.” There are seven paintings of Hawaii, where Modesitt and his wife, Toshiko, vacationed for about two weeks late last year. In the spring, the couple toured the California coast, giving Modesitt an opportunity to paint a variety of beaches, including La Jolla, over a 10-day camping trip. In May, they traveled to Lauterbrunnen, a municipality in Switzerland. Nestled at the base of the Swiss Alps, the valley is surrounded by contrasting mountains and flowing waterfalls. “It’s beautiful,” said Modesitt, adding that it was his first trip to the area. “The hills around it almost go straight up. From those vantage points, I got some really good paintings done.” From there, the couple traveled to Semur-en-Auxois, a small medieval town in the Burgundy region of France, where they rounded out their roughly month-long trip. They stayed on the small river that circles the village. “Timeless gardens and rural scenes of an era long past will be depicted in over 20 canvases,” Modesitt said. He 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 child. Modesitt went on to spend decades studying impressionism, a 19th-century art movement that originated with a group of Paris-based artists. “I’ve never really taken a vacation,” said Modesitt, who always comes prepared to paint on every trip. “You’ve got to do something with the beauty around you, so that’s what I do.” Modesitt began studying art at Santa Barbara City College under painter Robert Frame. By the early 1980s, he 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, his work has also been displayed on walls across the world. His 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.

Solana Beach artist John Modesitt at Semur-en-Auxois, France, where he painted some of the works in his latest show. Courtesy photo “Every place I find, my wife always says, ‘How did you find this place?’” Modesitt said. “The Internet has really helped this whole process of finding beautiful places. They are really peaceful places. It’s kind of a bubble, and we all need our bubbles.” About three times a year Modesitt invites the public to view his pieces at his studio, which is located in his Solana Beach home. His latest exhibit, which will feature pieces ranging from 8 inches by 10 inches to 30 inches by 40 inches, will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept. 12-18. “I hope everybody feels the same thing I felt when they look at the paintings,” Modesitt said. “There’s a longing for something they see in my work, and it’s because I feel that. That’s what’s coming across. That’s the power of art.” If you are interested in viewing the collection, email Modesitt at paintings@sbcglobal. net.

CCA Foundation’s ‘Dollar a Day’ fundraising campaign off and running BY GLORIA LIMAS Innovation is paving the way for donations at Canyon Crest Academy. The school foundation’s latest campaign is called “A Dollar a Day for CCA” and was promoted at Back to School night. The goal is to receive a minimum contribution of $180 per student, equating to a dollar a day of the academic school year. CCA Principal Karl Mueller says the foundation provides invaluable school support: “They are able to come in and provide resources to enrich the experiences of every student, each and every day.” The state of California provides funding to school districts. Unfortunately, the funding only covers teacher salaries, textbooks and some of the maintenance. “When you think about what makes Canyon Crest Academy so special, it’s those enrichment experiences, art and lab consumables, technology and visiting artists,” said Mueller. “Essentially, the little things that make our learning facility feel like a home to our outstanding students are funded by the foundation.” CCA Foundation Executive Director Joanne Cou-

CCA Foundation Executive Director Joanne Couvrette at Back to School Night, where the “Dollar a Day for CCA” campaign was promoted. Photo by Gloria Limas vrette said, “Each student benefits from our Ravens Fund, which provides computers, lab materials, the College and Career Center, graduation, and much more. Coincidentally, three years ago when we started asking each family for a donation, the amount that we were spending per student from the Ravens Fund was about $180 per student each school year. This year, we decided to name our campaign for what it was, ‘a dollar a day for CCA.’” Couvrette said revenues have steadily increased for the past four years, since the CCA Foundation expanded its operations and hired a permanent staff. To date, the foundation has raised a record amount of revenue for the first two months of the fiscal year. However, with the highest student population in school’s history, more is needed to fully fund the school year requests. Find information on how to donate to the “A Dollar a Day for CCA” program and about the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation at www.canyoncrestfoundation.org.

Carmel Valley 5K to run new PHR route The organizer of the fourth annual Carmel Valley 5K & Kids Fun Run recently announced a new route that will start and finish under the new community monument sign at The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch. The race is scheduled for Jan. 26, 2016. With the new course, the CV5K crew worked hard to stay true to the “trail meets the street” feel that they’ve had in the past. “Carmel Valley is my favorite place to run. We have just a great mix of scenic trails and streets,” said Katie Runners at last year’s Carmel Valley 5K. The next race Wilsey, the local resident will be Jan. 26, 2016. Courtesy photo who organizes and manages the event. Runners will enjoy the Manzanita Trail and running through the Pacific Highlands Ranch area of Carmel Valley. After the race, the post-race party will take place at The Village in front of the new Crunch Fitness. The party will have expo booths, live music, entertainment, jumpys, the awards ceremony and much more. All racers and family members are invited to attend. The annual community event helps raise money for each of the 23 schools in the Carmel Valley area, and two charities have been added to that list: Leukemia Lymphoma Society and the Children’s Tumor Foundation. Registrants can select the charity they’d like to support when they register and/or make a donation to the charity of their choice from the list. Early Bird pricing ends Oct. 15 at midnight. The race has sold out in past years and will probably sell out again. For information and to register, go to carmelvalley5k.com.

SB twin tweens are podcasting veterans on comics website • Anya and Maddy Ernst, 12, opine on all things geeky BY PAM KRAGEN SPECIAL TO THE DEL MAR TIMES, CARMEL VALLEY NEWS, SOLANA BEACH SUN Anya and Maddy Ernst are twins. They’re also tweens. And they’re proud geeks, which makes them “The Tweeks” — 12-year-old video podcasters who are quickly making a name for themselves in the comics industry. Over the past two years, the Solana Beach twins have produced nearly 100 short videos for the website ComicMix.com, which offers news and reviews on comics, graphic novels, fantasy material, TV shows, movies and video games. Their funny, thoughtful and sometimes irreverent videos — filmed and edited by their mom, Jen Marchese-Ernst — have included author and celebrity interviews, film and book reviews, commentaries on pop culture topics, advice for surviving ComicCon, and their less-than-enthusiastic opinion of the latest actor to play the role of Dr. Who. “Peter Capaldi’s the new doctor, but there’s one thing. He’s old. And, well, he’s ooooold!” Anya reported in their very first videocast. ComicMix’s associate editor Adriane Nash invited the energetic and opinionated twins to contribute videos to the site in 2013 because she felt the young demographic was missing from their review staff. “On our website, we skew kind of old. I wanted to bring some youth and a younger voice to the website. When you have some-

security

thing like ‘My Little Pony,’ people want to see a reviewer in the age range of the people who are going to be excited about it, as opposed to a 45-year-old man.” ComicMix draws from 50,000 to 75,000 unique viewers a week, Nash said, and the Tweeks videos draw anywhere from a few hundred to 10,000 views, depending upon the content. The girls are now so well known that they’re on the press list for nearly all of the comics, Disney and book conventions in Southern California. “When they’re on convention floors, it’s the younger kids who recognize them, but they also have made a really good impression on industry people, as well,” Nash said. “They seem to have struck a chord with people.” Although they’re not paid, the girls do get frequent shipments of free books, DVDs and other products to review. “I’m not going to lie, the free stuff is the best part,” said Maddy, the blond, bespectacled twin whose passion is books. Her purple-haired sister, Anya, is more into TV shows and movies. The twins, who are eighth-graders at Earl Warren Middle School, are second-generation geeks. Their stockbroker dad Rob Ernst is a lifelong comics enthusiast, and the creative genius behind the name “Tweeks.” Their mom, Jen, a marketing manager for Igloo.com, named both girls after favorite fictional characters. Anya, short for Anastasia, was named for a character in TV’s “Buffy the Vampire Slayer.” Maddy is short for Madeline, the title character in the famed

Twin sisters Maddy, left, and Anya Ernst, 12, at their Solana Beach home with their Mac Air computers. Their blog “The Tweeks”appears on a national comics website. — Photo/Charlie Neuman children’s book series by Ludwig Bemelmans. The couple have attended Comic-Con annually since the mid-1990s and began bringing the twins along before they could walk. Jen described the twins as alike in their love for geek culture, but different in their approach to the podcasts. Maddy is more the methodical introvert who exhaustively researches her video topics before they film. Anya is the romantic, who’s more emotional, spontaneous and sarcastic. Maddy prefers David Tennant’s Dr. Who No. 10, while Anya’s heart belongs to No. 11, Matt Smith. For their weekly video upload, the twins devise a topic by Thursday night. On Saturday, they write their scripts. Then they film on Sundays, a process that Anya said can take 30 minutes to three hours, depending on their mood and interest. The girls do the initial edits, then Jen finishes the videos and uploads them by 11 a.m. each Thursday (comicmix.com/ category/tweeks/). See TWEENS, page 21

Be aware of possible water utility service impostors The city of San Diego recently reported that water utility service impostors are trying to collect water bills or sell water treatment devices using false or misleading statements about the quality or contents of your water. These impostors may attempt to pass as city employees to collect money or gain access to your home. While there have not been reports of this activity in Del Mar, the city wants its customers and residents to be aware and vigilant. Never let anyone in your home if you are uncomfortable. Report any suspicious personnel to the Sheriff’s Department at their 24-hour nonemergency line at 858-565-5200 or the Public Works Department’s at 858-755-3294 as soon as possible.

San Dieguito Union High School District officially launched the Anti-Defamation League’s “No Place for Hate” initiative in all schools in the district.

Del Mar basketball star headed to Yale BY ROB LEDONNE Since he was 3 years old, Eric Monroe has been obsessed with basketball. “As long as my memory can go back, I’ve loved it,” he said from his Del Mar home. “It’s been the focal point of my life as long as I remember.” Since then, Eric has pursued the sport in a big way — from joining St. Augustine’s varsity basketball team as a mere freshman, gaining notoriety on travel teams, and, his latest coup, being recruited by none other than Yale University for the 2016 season. “It feels awesome,” Eric explains of joining the ranks of the Ivy League university’s esteemed basketball program. “To have a goal like that checked off my list is pretty Eric Monroe of Del Mar has been recruited by Yale cool. Pretty exciting.” University for the 2016 season — a sweet payoff for the Honing his basketball years of practice he put in after his home basketball skills in Del Mar, Eric suffered hoop was ordered to be dismantled because of the a setback when he was just a noise. Courtesy photo kid that motivated him throughout the rest of his life. Originally living in Carmel Valley, the family moved to Del Mar, among other reasons, because their new house was outfitted with a basketball hoop. “It was where I spent a lot of my time, dribbling and shooting. That hoop meant a lot to me,” he said. However, his Del Mar neighbors were annoyed by the racket it caused and soon made their frustrations heard. “They were pretty vocal about me not playing outside anymore, and after a while they contacted the city about it.” The city soon asked Monroe to take the hoop down — a huge blow for the youngster, who cherished the simple hoop. “When it was dismantled, it was traumatic,” Eric said, looking back. “After a while, however, what that did was push me to almost prove those neighbors wrong. I wanted to keep working on my game after that … and it paid off.” Eric isn’t kidding; years of practice led him to join the St. Augustine varsity squad as a mere freshman — a rarity. During that first year with the team, he wound up helping secure both CIS and State Championship titles. “As far as accomplishments though, that was a big one,” he noted. “I was really fortunate enough to be part of a great program. We’re taught that there’s so much more to basketball than what’s on the court, and I think that was the key to our success.” During the off-season, Eric kept busy playing travel ball, and at a recent tournament in Springfield, Mass., the powers that be from Yale’s basketball program caught wind of his talent. “They followed my progress through the rest of this past summer,” Eric said. “They saw me play quite a bit and I got to know them.” By July, Yale offered Eric a spot on the team as part of the incoming class in 2016 — a huge break. “It was almost a no-brainer for me to accept their offer because of the success they’ve had basketball-wise.” Now, Eric has to get through his senior season at St. Augustine, knowing that Yale is right around the corner. “It gives me much less pressure coming into the season,” he said. “If you’re a basketball player who wants to get to the next level, knowing that that’s locked up and ready to go makes you focus much more on the game.” Not that he had any problems focusing on the sport before.

Education Matters: Straight facts, or roundabout fiction? Foundation on shaky ground? Letters to the editor/Opinion

The ongoing Del Mar roundabout debate is a classic example of California pop philosophy at its worst. At the height of the ferment, one side argued, “We have experts who attest to the rightness of roundabouts.” This side hid their vested interests, and stood firmly with the argument of authority. The other side, also concealing their interests, argued that common sense dictated the irrationality of the roundabouts. Harrumph! Now, in the current never-say-die stage, some plead for experimentation (let’s try one), others wonder how much gasoline is wasted at stop signs, still others implore us to just get along. The worst argument is the Bird Rock analogy. It works there, shout the proponents — citing no data whatsoever — so it will work here. But this is a false analogy. Think: A block to the west of those roundabouts is the La Jolla Scenic Route, the preferred path taken by the hundreds of cyclists who traverse Bird Rock regularly. Bicycle versus auto conflicts are thus not even remotely analogous to what our town would experience with roundabouts. Truth is, this is not a theoretical question open to transports of untethered philosophy. It is an empirical question, well-studied and eminently answerable based on the data — provided the data comes from towns truly analogous to Del Mar. Full disclosure, my bias — actually, biases: First, as an emergency physician who witnessed bicycle versus auto injuries frequently, my bias is to prevent such injuries. The cyclist never wins. Second, as a 38-year resident of 8th Street, I do not wish to see Stratford become the main bicycle thoroughfare that would obviously result from the proposed roundabouts. Now the facts. A 270-page report by the Federal Highway Administration (June 2000) on roundabouts in 15 urban towns in western France reveals that bicycle accidents increased as a result of the roundabouts by nearly 100 percent (from 3.7 percent to 7.3 percent). Moreover, the collisions resulted in dramatically more injuries to cyclists at roundabouts. Likewise, in Britain, cyclists fared worse at roundabouts than at signalized intersections. This same federal report cites a Swedish crash model that recommends a validated bicycle safety measure glaringly absent from our previous village plan. In fairness, auto vs. auto collisions generally were reduced, and the severity of resultant injuries mitigated by roundabouts, according to this report. (Not that auto vs. auto injuries are the driving concern here.) The bottom line is this. Whether roundabouts will work or not is a matter of fact, not theory. The facts must be relevant to our precise traffic situation. Bias has no place in this assessment. Let’s get our facts straight, put our biases aside, and make a reasoned judgment for the sake of all involved. My vote is to protect the most vulnerable — those hundreds of cyclists who use the coast highway every day. Due consideration must also be given to the facts concerning cars, pedestrians and motorcycles. Whatever we decide, let it be based on fair evidence and not wishful philosophy. Steve Bierman, MD Del Mar

How can there be a disbanded Public Safety Commission in Solana Beach? City Manager and Director of Public Safety David Ott called for the special meeting of Oct. 8, 2013, to discuss the value/values of the Public Safety Commission. Each of the seven appointed commissioners as well as Sheriff Capt. Robert Haley (since retired), Fire Deputy Chief Mike Daigle, and Director of Engineering Mo Sammak all participated in the discussion. The minutes of this one-hour-plus meeting were subsequently adopted at the meeting of Jan. 14, 2014. At that time, Sheriff Lieutenant Mario Zermeno, Battalion Chief Dismas Abelman were also in attendance. As well, “a recommendation was made to bullet point the highlights from the October 8th meeting for the City Council to review.” To my knowledge, commissioners did not see said highlights; however some concepts from the minutes included: • Communication to the community and from the community of concerns and happenings • Advisory on topics based on public interest • Recommendations on action items to be brought to Council. “The commission is an extension (representative) of the community working with staff to bring citizen concerns (what is important to people) to staff’s attention for responsiveness”; “extension to staff, Fire and Police Departments relating to Public Safety issues.” Our city has seen changes on streets and roads: Santa Helena! Highland! San Andrés! Dell! Lomas Santa Fe! Cedros! 101! Stairways and bluffs! Stevens is coming! All discussed in collaborative input over time. Other suggestions made included more exposure of commissioners’ names and having their attendance at community meetings, monthly communication to citizens, use of social media and city’s website. In consideration of the resources needed, perhaps bi-monthly or quarterly meetings with the full complement of commissioners might suffice. In their wisdom, San Diego moved from Public Safety and Neighborhood Services to Public Safety and Livable Neighborhoods. Kudos to them! In the beginning, Solana Beach established The Crime Commission which moved on to the Public Safety Commission. On Aug. 25, 2015, the City Council voted to “sunset” their Public Safety Commission. Shame on them! Perhaps January will be for new beginnings; perhaps the Public Health and Safety Commission. Addendum: In the workshop, all commissioners described the commission as “vital.” Lynn Salsberg, BScN, RN Solana Beach

Torrey Pines JV defeats Mission Hills, 21-14 BY WALTER BAYS With the Torrey Pines varsity football team losing to Mission Hills, the younger teams maintained Falcon pride. On Sept. 3, the freshmen won their second shutout of the season against the Grizzlies, 41-0, and on Sept. 4, the junior varsity defeated Mission Hills 21-14. Both frosh and JV teams now hold 2-0 records. The JV Grizzlies were on the board first after a 56-yard drive featuring the running of Damon Wigand, and scrambling of quarterback Adam Barraza. The extra point was missed. Grizzlies 6-0. The Falcons replied with a 68-yard drive behind the running of Jack Nelson, with some help from running backs Jacob Leone and Ryan Cesari. Quarterback Chris Temby ran it in and Tanner Wyandt nailed the extra point to put Torrey Pines on top, 7-6. On the next series, the Falcon defense held Misson Hills three and out, and a bad snap on the punt put the Falcons on the Grizzly 11. Nelson ran to the 3 and Gaston Schenk carried for the touchdown. Falcons 14-6. In the second half, Mission Hills drove 65 yards to tie Running back Jack Nelson the game at 14-14 after a 2-point conversion. Late in the 3rd was unstoppable. File quarter, their bid to go ahead was stopped on a screen pass photo by Anna Scipione with coverage by Cesari and cornerback Connor Munoz. With under 3 minutes in the game, another Mission Hills drive was halted by Connor Nichols and a swarming Falcon defense, and Torrey Pines took over on downs. Schenk and Nelson had breakaway runs, then a pass to Cesari made it 1st and goal at the 1, where Nelson carried it in for the score. Falcons 21-14. On their own 31 with just 21 seconds on the clock, Munoz and the Torrey Pines secondary were all over the deep receivers. Short passes and scrambles couldn’t cover the distance as time ran out.

COMMITTEE

continued from page 1

of the 450 residents who responded to the questionnaire said they were satisfied with the city, three areas registered the most complaints: roadway maintenance, communication, and the development and design review process. Acknowledging the concerns, the council in May further opened the review process to the public and established the committee. The council made its appointments in June. “I’m really unhappy to see the city so polarized over this issue when the goal of the council was to fix perceived problems with the design review process,” said Councilman Don Mosier. “That goal seems to be shared by everyone. … The only difference I’m hearing is that some people think that the solutions might be subtly different than other people, but the perceived problems are shared by everyone.” The committee’s job is to identify concerns related to the community impacts of new and remodeled homes. Members must also define the goal to be achieved in potentially modifying regulations and recommend solutions, including possible amendments to the municipal code and development review procedures. “This committee is advisory to the council,” Mosier reminded the community. “If it comes up with suggestions that we don’t like, they die when they come to council. There has to be a final work product that reflects the consensus among the committee but is also supported by the council.” The city received 28 applications for the nine-member committee. When the council on May 18 approved a resolution to establish the committee, the resolution did not call for interviews. Interviews were also not mentioned during the motion, which passed 3-0 with Mayor Al Corti and Mosier absent. However, the minutes from the meeting state that the council “directed staff to advertise for candidates for the committee and to schedule interviews for committee appointments.” Furthermore, Andrew Potter, the city’s administrative services director, sent a message to committee applicants, recommending that they attend the June 15 meeting and be prepared to be interviewed, said Worden in a prior interview. He and Mosier serve as liaisons to the committee. “The process of appointing this committee was not perfect,” said Mosier, adding that he attempted to contact all the applicants who were available to speak before the appointments. “It had some procedural ambiguities that I apologize for.” Because of the email and the meeting minutes, most applicants attended the meeting expecting to be interviewed for the committee. But the council only asked to briefly hear the backgrounds of the three applicants who were professional architects or land use planners. After the appointments, more than a dozen community members concerned about the selection process asked the council to rescind its appointments during the July 6 coun-

cil meeting. The council stood by its decisions. On July 14, disappointed residents submitted a letter with 110 signatures to the city, requesting the council to rescind its appointments and redo the selection process. The signatures were gathered within 36 hours, and an additional 19 signatures in support of the letter were submitted two days later. Acknowledging the mix-up between the minutes and the motion, the council on July 20 decided to place the issue on the agenda of its next meeting, after the August recess, to consider whether to make any changes to the committee’s makeup or membership. During the Sept. 8 meeting Worden apologized again, but noted that the city has an adoptive policy that does not call for interviews of applicants for committees except for the Design Review Board and Planning Commission. “We gave mixed signals from staff and from the council,” Worden said. Nearly 40 people submitted speaker slips on the subject during the Sept. 8 meeting, which Mayor Al Corti said was a record number, at least since he’s been mayor. Of those, 25 community members spoke before the council. Some called for changes to the committee — redoing the selection process, expanding membership or hiring an outside consultant. Others asked the council to continue the committee and not make any changes. “It’s really great to see so many people engaged,” Worden said. “It’s reflective of what we are as a community. We’re divided on a lot of the substantive issues about the DRB and the DRO — and that’s OK. That’s OK. We should be able to speak civilly to each other, even though we don’t agree on a lot of these issues.” In a 3-1 decision, the council voted to keep the committee intact. Councilman Terry Sinnott was absent. “I would like to support continuing the committee as appointed and give it a chance to establish a record,” said Mosier, adding that the committee will present quarterly reports to the council. The committee is slated to present its work plan to the council in the coming weeks. The council will also hear a progress report in January. Casting the dissenting vote, Corti disagreed with the council’s direction. “Where there’s smoke, there’s fire,” he said. “We are talking about modifying the Design Review Ordinance. As far as I’m concerned, it’s modifying the Community Plan. It’s that deep. It’s the Bible that drives this community. Making modifications to it — I don’t think we can take lightly. We’re going down a course of action, I think, (that) is very dangerous.” Corti suggested adding four people “from the other perspective” to the committee. He also suggested bringing on an objective facilitator for the committee. “Real or perceived, it’s a problem, and I just cannot support proceeding on the course of action we’re currently going,” he said. Although his colleagues disagreed, they all agreed that they were open to the idea of a consultant, if the budget allows. “The work program that’s envisioned looks like it’s going to require a lot of staff time,” Mosier said. “There is an argument that if it requires too much staff time … that there may be merit to hiring a consultant. But I wouldn’t proceed with that course of action without looking at the budget and getting a clearer understanding of what the workload would be.” To date, there have been five committee meetings. The committee met for the first time at 4 p.m. July 8. After hearing from concerned citizens on July 6, the council suggested the committee change its format and time to be more accessible to the public. The second meeting on July 21 started at 6 p.m. and featured a workshop-style format. Meetings since then have started at 6 p.m. at the City Hall Annex. At the latest meeting on Sept. 1, the committee approved a work plan that outlined the committee’s mission, goals, timeline, approach and work program. The committee also established five subcommittees that will research and report back on the DRO, Citizens’ Participation Program, related development ordinances, zoning ordinances and design review board practices in other jurisdictions. In addition, the committee discussed scheduling future meetings with the Design Review Board, city staff, architects and builders, and the public. “I appreciate all the public comment that’s been presented at the committee meetings,” Mosier said. “I would encourage everyone to stay involved and make sure this committee stays on track. I think the more public involvement we have, the less anyone needs to fear that this committee is going to have a private agenda or get off track. “I would personally assure everyone that I’m there as a liaison to make sure that this committee does stay on track and does represent the interests of all our citizens, not a few of our citizens,” Mosier added. “No one’s getting ignored in this process. If they stay engaged and make helpful, constructive comments or criticisms, then we listen to them.” The committee meets at 6 p.m. every first and third Tuesday in the City Hall Annex. The next meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. Sept. 15. Meeting agendas and minutes are available at www.delmar.ca.us/507/Ad-Hoc-Development-Review-Process-Adviso.

stein said. Most of the handle comes from off-site bets, such as wagers placed in satellite betting centers, Las Vegas casinos, Indian casinos and online betting sites. Internet wagering alone was up 16 percent during the summer meet, Rubinstein said. One draw for the 2015 summer meet was the presence of Triple Crown winner American Pharoah. Although the champion did not race at Del Mar, he did work out during the meet, and parade before fans between races on Sunday, Sept. 6. Fans were given posters of American Pharoah on Sunday as well. “It was a real benefit to have him on the grounds,” Rubinstein said at the 22nd DAA board meeting.

Then the process starts all over again. Both girls say the long hours they spend on the 3- to 8-minute podcasts cut into their social time with friends, and Maddy even quit once (for an hour or so). But they love the exposure and experience, since both hope to be actresses one day. The twins find it hard to narrow down their favorite experiences from the past two years, but both were honored this year to be invited to promote the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund’s summer reading program. In a series of videos, they encouraged kids to read and support comics and graphic novels that have been banned from some school libraries, including their personal favorites “Drama” by Raina Telgemeier and “Bone” by Jeff Smith. “I can’t imagine why someone would ban a book,” Maddy said. “Books are magical. I don’t think they should be subdued.” The twins say they hope to continue the series through high school if they can balance the time with other extracurricular activities. Nash said she’s happy to keep The Tweeks for as long as they’re willing. “It’s been fun watching the girls develop,” she said. “Over the past two years, they’ve found their voice and rhythm. There’s definitely an audience out there for them.”

mending that the city retain the right to review the district on an annual basis and modify or cancel the program if it does not meet its performance objectives. Mosier, who with Corti serves as a liaison to the district, said he has been “disappointed” by every Finance Committee report. The metrics the committee has requested are already being provided, Mosier said. Financial reports and progress updates are given at monthly board meetings. “I’m, frankly, embarrassed at their work product,” he said. Corti, who is a liaison to the committee with Sinnott, contended that the committee “does an excellent job at everything they evaluate.” By the end of the discussion, the council directed staff to return Sept. 21 with three options. The council will consider an alternate approach that would support the ongoing marketing efforts without the district; a scaled-down district that would focus solely on specific efforts such as the website dreamdelmar.com; and an approach that would follow the Finance Committee’s recommendation to assess the district annually. The district will also have its own proposal.

CONTRACT

and parents, she believes Schmitt is a valuable piece of a strong administrative team that works collaboratively to create an environment of academic success in the district. While trustee Mo Muir voted against extending the associate superintendent’s contracts last month, she did vote in favor of Schmitt although she had some criticisms of his performance. “He has not addressed the frightening drug issue in our schools, he has not taken strong administrative action when needed and he has not put the time and effort that needs to make classes effective for both the north and south regions of the district,” Muir said. “Both regions should be equally successful.” Muir did compliment Schmitt for his successful hiring of principals, associate principals and personnel that value the success of the district and the children. She noted he has also addressed the issue of parity between the schools with bell schedules and is exploring further options. “Based on my internal assessment I don’t want to give up on the superintendent,” Muir said. Dalessandro said she was still bothered by the split vote for the rest of the administrative team members.

“We have an amazing, amazing group of administrators and I think it’s critical we give them the vote of confidence that they deserve,” Dalessandro said. “Why would we risk not giving them a vote of confidence?” Trustee Amy Herman said the contracts Salazar is opposed to are very common in education, and it is recommended by the California School Boards Association to have three- to four-year contracts. “I really have not seen someone of Schmitt’s caliber before,” Herman said. “He is visible in all of the schools, he really is everywhere. The positive attitude he carries with him everywhere he goes is remarkable.” Herman said a vote against the contract is a vote of no confidence, and she believes that’s a risk they should not take with highlevel employees who could be offered another job anywhere. “A ‘no’ vote, Mr. Salazar, is risking destabilization of the district,” Dalessandro said. “I really believe the support of the board is something a superintendent needs more than anything to continue the stability of the district. It is egregious to vote ‘no’ because he is very, very valuable to us.” Salazar had no further comment before voting against the contract extension.

quest only applies to school district accounts (with the extension sduhsd.net) and not the foundation’s (canyoncrestfoundation.org), I asked Eric Dill, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of business services, to delay or stop the routine maintenance, or at least oversee it. But he said the district has no power or control over the foundation’s internal emails and domain name, which is run independently of the district’s. That may be true (and it is), but does the district not have any oversight of school foundations that raise funds and speak on behalf of the schools they serve — especially after a foundation takes action to perform “routine maintenance” on its email accounts two days after a Public Records request was filed? Foundation directors and board members, and the foundations by extension, are seen as under the umbrella of the school district, a public agency. They are regarded as the face of the school, working alongside the school’s principal and staff — everyone together representing the school and its interests at events and activities throughout the year. Although foundations are technically separate entities from schools and school districts, overlap exists. School districts, because of common interests and a close working relationship with their foundations, do have some responsibility to ensure that legal and ethical standards are in place. The possibility exists, remote as it may be, that information during this routine maintenance might have been altered or destroyed, even if inadvertently — which means the district should have interfered to prevent the shutdown. San Dieguito’s hands-off attitude was disappointing and troubling. No agenda Just after the “routine” maintenance was initiated on the CCAF server, current CCAF president Carolyn Cohen called a special meeting for Monday, Aug. 31, of all the voting members of the CCAF board, notifying them on their private email addresses. When I asked to see the agenda and if the meeting was open to the public, Cohen responded by email, “This is a special meeting of the board called for voting members only, so it is not open to the public. The meeting does not have a stated agenda.” “No agenda?” I said. “Isn’t that unusual? Members have no idea what the meeting is for?” Her reply: “According to our By-Laws Section VII.14 Manner of Giving Notice of Special Meetings, ‘The notice shall state the date, time, and place of the Special Meeting. The notice need not notify the purpose of the meeting.’ Thank you.” As it turned out, the board’s agenda was to vote one member off the board who was making uncomfortable inquiries.

Finances Curious about CCAF finances, I asked to see financial statements, which were provided to me by Couvrette, who was very timely and responsive to my request. Although I’m no accountant, everything appears to be in order. For the 2014-2015 fiscal year, which ended June 30, the foundation had a total income of $1,078,208 and total expenses of $1,185,502 (this includes $170,545 in cost of goods sold), leaving a deficit of $107,294. The largest line items under Income were for individual contributions, as follows: $308,296 to athletics, $156,468 to the Envision arts program, and $108,011 to the school’s Ravens Fund. The biggest expenses were recorded as follows: $361,460 for athletics, $232,774 for Envision, and $144,528 for academic-related support (of which $35,168 was for non-employee compensation). Total cost for salaries and related expenses came to $108,741. Of that, the largest were: $70,000 for officer and director salaries, $18,392 for contractor expenses, and $12,449 for other salaries and wages. Other management and general expenses included $17,017 for credit card merchant fees. Building consensus Effective foundation leaders work with the school’s administration to establish a respectful working environment and bring volunteer board members together in ways that defuse discord and promote cooperation. No easy task, granted. Working with strong-willed, high-energy school volunteers can be like herding cats. But mediating, finding common ground and establishing consensus is the lofty goal. Perhaps tension is to be expected when dedicated volunteers, most of whom are go-getters with strong personalities and drive, all come together on a board. Opinions will inevitably differ on direction and priorities for allocating money, so a natural tendency for conflict exists. But it’s concerning when two former board presidents have resigned under duress, both claiming complaints against them were false, unfair and unjust. Foundations raise money for a good cause, and students benefit enormously from the dedication of volunteers committed to enhancing the educational opportunities of hundreds of students each year. CCA’s foundation is no exception. But when disquieting allegations surface, parents and community members have a right to know what, if anything, is going on. My Public Records request was supposed to be fulfilled Sept. 8. But on Sept. 4, SDUHSD’s director of purchasing and risk management, Christina Bennett, said in an email that the district needed an extension and will respond to my request no later than Sept. 28. Then we’ll see whether or not this is much ado about nothing. Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.

Kaaboo Del Mar aims to enfold broader demographic into a ‘mix-perience’

Musician Cody Lovaas will honor skateboard icon Tony Hawk during the Natural High Gala Sept. 12 at the Omni La Costa Report and Spa in Carlsbad. Courtesy photo

Up-and-coming musician encourages youth to pursue ‘natural high’ • Singer to help honor skateboard icon Tony Hawk at benefit gala BY JARED WHITLOCK Carlsbad singer-songwriter Cody Lovaas is stepping up his involvement as an ambassador for Natural High, a nonprofit that inspires youth to resist drugs and alcohol. Lovaas will help honor skateboard icon Tony Hawk for his longtime support of Natural High during the Natural High Gala Sept. 12 at the Omni La Costa Report and Spa in Carlsbad. Hawk will be recognized at the event for changing the drug prevention landscape and inspiring youth like Lovaas. Lovaas, 17, hopes to have the same kind of impact with his music. “With my songwriting and lyrics and the way I live, hopefully that can inspire people to find their passion,” Lovaas said. He continued: “If you have a passion, that’s all that matters. You don’t need drugs or alcohol.” To that end, Lovaas said he recently penned a song, which doesn’t have a name yet, that more directly addresses these themes. “It’s about living for today,” he said. Lovaas, who opened for Jason Mraz on his 2015 North American tour, said he got involved with Natural High after hearing the story of Jon Sundt, who founded the nonprofit in 1994 after losing two younger brothers to drugs. Sundt wanted to save other families from the same heartbreak, so he formed Natural High to focus on drug abuse prevention. The Sept. 12 event will include special performances by Lovaas and others, live and silent auctions and showcase Natural High’s work with 13- to 17-year-olds over more than two decades. Tickets for the cocktail reception, silent auction and dinner are $250 per person. Guests can purchase VIP tickets for $350, or reserve a table of eight for $1,800 and $2,600, respectively. To purchase tickets or make a gift, visit www. naturalhigh.org/gala. Natural High reaches an estimated 8 million youth a year through a video series, social media, events and freeof-charge curriculum provided to educators. Visit naturalhigh.org for more information. More about Lovaas, along with his music, can be found at www.codylovaas.com.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Bonnaroo. Coachella. Lollapalooza. The producers of Kaaboo Del Mar hope to go beyond those famous music gatherings and transform the festival scene when their inaugural three-day event comes to town next week. The festival will feature more than 100 performances on seven stages from Sept. 18-20 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, including headliners No Doubt, The Killers and Zac Brown Band. From longtime artists such as Sheryl Crow and Snoop Dogg, to emerging bands such as Fairground Saints and Open Air Stereo, the lineup includes a variety of genres with acts from across the country — and even hometown favorites, San Diego-based Switchfoot. “Every act has been very carefully curated,” said Kaaboo founder and CEO Bryan Gordon. “We’re super-excited about the breadth and depth of the lineup. There’s something there for everyone.” Billed as a “mix-perience,” the festival will also offer comedy acts, including Joel McHale, Lewis Black and others. Kaaboo will also showcase an array of artwork through a gallery, art fair and a variety of pop-up exhibitions. In addition, Kaaboo will feature a full-scale food and drink experience called Palate and Crafty, with tastings from more than 50 different restaurants, more than 50 types of beer and more than 30 wineries selling 75 different wines and more than 30 craft spirits. “I’ve been a lover of live music virtually my entire life,” said Gordon, adding that his passion extends to food, wine, art and travel. “I thought it was high time to create what I call a ‘mixperience’ that combines all of these elements into one live experience.” A longtime lover of live music, Gordon, 53, has fre-

Zac Brown Band will be among the performers at Kaaboo Del Mar. Courtesy photo quented other festivals, including Bonnaroo, Coachella and Lollapalooza. “While I have enjoyed all of them, they’re not really built for me and my peers,” he said. “I found some of the best times that I’ve had with my 22-year-old daughter have been when we’ve gone to see live music together, so I wanted to create something that worked for both of us.” Unlike other festivals, Kaaboo is targeted for people ages 25 to 55, with the average ticket buyer being 38 years old. “It will be a more robust environment that targets all of your senses and is really built for whether you’re 20 years old, 60 years old or anyone in between,” Gordon said. Gordon is founder and chairman of the Denver-based The Madison Companies, LLC, a private investment holding company he founded in 1996. According to its website, the company has invested more than $1 billion in a diverse portfolio of marketleading, middle-market companies and properties worth over $3 billion. Although this is the first music festival he has ever founded, Gordon has been working on Kaaboo for two years. From lining up entertainment to addressing community concerns over noise and traffic, he and a team of some 40 consultants and experts have planned Kaaboo down to the most granular details. “This is my first time ever producing a large-scale event like this,” Gordon said. “But I’ve surrounded myself with a team of event production professionals who have been in this business for decades.” The team looked at potential festival sites throughout California before deciding on the Del Mar Fairgrounds. “It’s an amazing facility, almost 350

acres located right across from the ocean and right off the I-5 in a beautiful part of North County,” Gordon said. The festival also fills the void of longgone events from the past, such as Street Scene. The music festival was held each summer in San Diego, from 1984 to 2009. “You’ve got more than 20 million people within a three-hour drive of this place and really no major festival other than Coachella,” Gordon said. Although Kaaboo is a made-up word “that doesn’t literally mean anything,” Gordon hopes “Kaaboo” becomes synonymous with quality. “The quality of the hospitality and the guest experience will, hopefully, be a step beyond what anybody experiences at other large-scale events like this,” Gordon said. “We’re really trying to have an event that is far broader and deeper in terms of experiences,” he added. “We’re also really trying to conquer most of the un-pleasantries that are typical of the live event experience.” With 40,000 people expected per day in its inaugural year, producers are already looking ahead to next year. Producers have a long-term lease arrangement with the fairgrounds, Gordon said. They are already beginning to book bands for next year. “The planning for next year has already begun,” Gordon said. “We’ll be here for the long haul.” Prices for three-day passes range from $199 to $2,499, but many of the lowerpriced options have already sold out. Oneday tickets start at $125. For more about Kaaboo or to purchase tickets, visit kaaboodelmar.com.

Dancers are ‘In Your Arms’ for premiere of new concept play

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DIANA SAENGER Christopher Gattelli received 2012 Tony, Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Awards for his choreography in “Newsies” (currently on tour). Now, as director, choreographer and co-conceiver of “In Your Arms,” his idea for a show without words, he continues to surpass expectations and gain rave reviews. A dancer by trade, Gattelli, was director-choreographer of “Silence! The Musical,” “JugBand Christmas,” “Radio Girl,” “Departure Lounge,” and the Coen Brothers’ upcoming film “Hail, Caesar!” His Broadway credits include “Amazing Grace,” “The King and I,” “South Pacific,” “Sunday in the Park,” and many more. “The Globe is famous for premiering new works of American musical theater,” said its artistic director, Barry Edelstein, at a preview event. “This show is a special piece as we’re pushing the form by moving The Globe into a dance/theater hybrid, telling stories about love and romance.” Gattelli said the idea for “In Your Arms” came to him when he was at the Lincoln Center doing “South Pacific.” Walking down the halls, he noticed the names of great playwrights on the walls. He spoke to a friend about his plan to ask different writers to create a story that would unfold only with music and no words. When she became intrigued by the idea, Gattelli set out to find the writers and read some of their plays. “We were surprised so many of them were on board with the idea, and already had brilliant, specific voices that go beyond words,” Gattelli said. “At the same time, I had just met composer Stephen Flaherty, and once he heard about the idea he was immediately on board. He would create these musical fabrics, and then we would talk through the plays to figure out what theme or dance style would go with that particular story. Then he would structure the music, kind of like scoring a film, with specific hits and beats.” Gattelli said he was amazed at the work of the writers and how it fit into his vision. “After seeing their work, I was able to dig into the common themes and styles of each,” he said. “Stephen and I tried very hard to keep in mind their overall aesthetic when creating each piece.” Among the writers who created stories for “In Your Arms” are Douglas Carter Beane, Nilo Cruz, Christopher Durang, Carrie Fisher, David Henry Hwang, Rajiv Joseph, Terrence McNally, Marsha Norman, Lynn Nottage and Alfred Uhry. “Once the writers realized there would be no character names, just dancers without any dialogue, it pleased some of them who recognized this was a different outlet for their work,” Gattelli said. The dance styles employed include classical ballet, swing, tap, tango and rock ’n’ roll. The only words heard come in the opening title song, “Dancing in Your Arms,” with lyrics by Tony and Emmy Award-winner Lynn Ahrens, sung by Donna McKechnie, Tony

Courtesy photo Award-winner for Broadway’s “A Chorus Line.” Because he’s worked on this play for seven years, Gattelli said he’s been moved by different scenes at different times. “Maybe it’s a story about a friend, or a boy and girlfriend on a date, but when I see what these 20 dancers, true artists, bring to this show, it’s above and beyond anything I’ve worked with. In previews, we heard one guy say, ‘I hate dancing,’ but by the end of the play he said, ‘I love dancing,’ and that was wonderful to hear.” “In Your Arms” plays Sept. 16-Oct. 25 at The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park.

Business Spotlight: Clients get a grip on better health with Pure Barre workout program • New studio in Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch voted best fitness studio/health club BY KAREN BILLING At Pure Barre in the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch, people are grabbing on to an effective, full body-changing workout that lifts, tones and burns in a good way.

Handmade pennants spell out success for seamstress with special needs â&#x20AC;˘ Jasmineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bunting Co. features specialty flags for various occasions BY DIANE Y. WELCH Many adults with special needs face hurdles when it comes to employment. Some find work as in-store greeters or baggers while many remain unemployed. But for Jasmine Prince, starting her own cottage business was the perfect solution. Jasmineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bunting Co. was recently founded and will have its official grand opening on Sept. 26. With the help of mom Laura Prince, Jasmine, who has Down syndrome, applied for and received her business license, opened a checking account and has already received multiple orders. She also has a business manager, Marie Lehman, who is guiding her on her professional journey, said Prince. Bunting is the name for a string of small flags often used Jasmine Prince, left, recently founded Jasmineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bunting Co. The bunting offers popular sentiments like â&#x20AC;&#x153;Happy as decorations for celebratory events. It also refers to lengths Birthdayâ&#x20AC;?

The Doobie Brothers to perform Oct. 2 at Santaluz Club to benefit children’s hospital BY KRISTINA HOUCK For more than 20 years, the Foundation for the Children of the Californias has helped keep kids healthy on both sides of the border. To continue to provide critical support, the foundation is inviting the community to its annual Concert for the Kids featuring the Doobie Brothers Oct. 2 at The Santaluz Club in Carmel Valley. “You’ll see a good show and help out with a great cause,” said Eileen Clifton, executive director of the Foundation for the Children of the Californias. “You’re going to have a great time.” The foundation aims to raise funds for an electronic monitoring system for the The Doobie Brothers perform Oct. 2 at the Hospital Infantil de las Californias, a annual Concert for the Kids at the Santaluz 48,000-square-foot pediatric complex that Club in Carmel Valley. Courtesy photo offers outpatient services in 22 specialties. With the facility a half-mile into Baja California, the monitoring system will not only track equipment and medicine, but patient medical records. “We need that to keep up electronically and communicate with doctors on both sides of the border much more readily,” Clifton said. “It’s very important for us to have this equipment.” In an effort to improve the health and nutrition of children, the Foundation for the Children of the Californias was founded in 1994. In this tri-national collaboration with the United States, Mexico and Canada, pediatric professionals joined forces with academic, business and civic leaders from the three countries to open and operate the pediatric medical center in northwestern Mexico. “There was a real deficit,” Clifton said. “They felt that something needed to be done.” Today the medical center serves about 3,500 children per month, with a third of the children from San Diego, Orange and Los Angeles counties, Clifton said. Approximately 70 percent of the center’s medical personnel and staff donate their services. Volunteers have served 380,000 hours, providing 440,000 consultations and conducting 12,000 surgeries since the foundation was established. “We’re just out there, everywhere, on both sides of the border making sure that kids don’t fall through the cracks,” Clifton said. About 1,000 people are expected at the foundation’s Concert for the Kids. In addition to a concert by the four-time Grammy-winning Doobie Brothers, the event will feature a gourmet dinner, “copter drop,” live and silent auction and special opening act. Tickets range from $195 to $500 and can be purchased online at www.usfcc.org. “When a gift is made, I know it’s going to be put to incredible, incredible use,” Clifton said. “This is happening an hour from us. We’re neighbors. We can make an impact.”

Unseen ‘California’s Gold’ episode to screen Sept. 23 at Del Mar Library A free screening of the “great lost episode” of Huell Howser’s acclaimed “California’s Gold” TV series will be shown at 6 p.m. Sept. 23 at the Del Mar Library. A Q&A with the director and writer will follow the screening. In 2010, the late television personality Huell Howser telephoned filmmaker John McDonald and made an unprecedented request. He had seen McDonald’s documentary “The Ghost Mountain Experiment,” a story about a family who Filmmaker John McDonald and Huell Howser. lived off the grid for 17 years in San Diego County’s Anza-Borrego Desert, and wanted to include it in his “California’s Gold” series. “He just called me out of the blue,” McDonald said. “He told me that he loved my doc, would like to interview me for his show and include the film in an episode of the TV series.” Huell found the story of the South family to be a quintessential California story. But the episode was never broadcast when “California’s Gold” became the victim of restructuring within PBS and its famous host decided to retire. Not long before his untimely death, Howser gave his unedited video master of the episode to McDonald in a gesture of appreciation. “The Ghost Mountain Experiment” tells the true story of the “original hippie family.” Obsessed with the dream of living a simple back-to-nature lifestyle, the eccentric artist, environmentalist and author Marshal South flees civilization in 1930 with his wife, Tanya. For nearly two decades, they raise a family on a remote, waterless mountaintop, but isolation and betrayal take their toll and ultimately destroy a desert paradise and a marriage. The film features archived family photos, reenactments, interviews with two of the South children, local historians and South’s own writings. Shot over a 15-month period, cinematographer Stuart Asbjornsen’s footage brings Ghost Mountain’s history to life with breathtaking imagery of the desert throughout the seasons. This special episode of California’s Gold is now in limited release. A trailer can be seen on the film’s website: GhostMountainMovie.com. The Del Mar Branch Library is at 1309 Camino Del Mar.

He is expected to run in the Grade I, $5 million Breeders’ Cup Classic on Oct. 31 at Keeneland racetrack in Lexington, Ky., and will probably be retired afterward. The rest of Del Mar’s closing week schedule was full of stakes action. Among the winners was Om, who won the Grade II, $250,000 Del Mar Derby.

New Flexible Payment Options For Going Solar As a resident of Carmel Valley, I ﬁnd the best part of living here to be the abundance of sunshine and good weather. I continue to live here and raise my family here because the people of our community are optimistic, always looking for ways to make a better place for our kids and future generations. We all agree that helping the environment is a good thing, and I talk to people all the time who would love to

do more, including adding solar panels to their homes, but are daunted by the cost of such a drastic shift to their lifestyle. Fortunately, it is becoming easier and more instantly economical to use alternative energy in our homes. The key is to ﬁnd the perfect plan for you. Today there are more ﬁnancing options than ever for going solar. Companies such as STI Solar offer their own packages. There are two new types of “Solar as a Service” agreements that offer a nomoney-down acquisition of the system combined with comprehensive insurance, maintenance, monitoring and repairs for the life of the system, so the homeowner does not have to worry about it. Both allow you to transfer your agreement to the new owners or buy out the system ahead of time if you sell your home, and both provide thousands in savings over the term

of the agreement. The Solar Lease is ideal for those managing a tighter budget. Simply pay the same amount every month in a given year and receive all the benefits of low-cost, clean energy. The Power Purchase Agreement, or PPA, allows you to pay a flat kWh rate for the amount of energy your system produces. The amount you pay will vary monthto-month depending on the system’s production. There are also great loan programs available for homeowners who want to own their system and take the generous Federal Tax Credit. STI Solar offers a low APR loan that gives you the benefit of ownership without the upfront purchase cost and maintenance expenses at a lower rate than your current utility. And in San Diego and surrounding cities there is the

HERO program, a low-interest, long-term, tax-deductible financing option that is repaid through your property taxes. Sure, going solar can be a big change. That’s why it is so important for the leaders in our field to make it as easy and as affordable (not to mention beneficial) as possible to make the change. We’ve made a commitment to you—our neighbors—by helping to protect our valuable resources though offering ways to make it easier for everyone to contribute to a bright future, saving on energy resources while also saving money to invest in our own future. For any questions on solar energy or STI Solar’s finance options, please contact us at 858-450-9700 Or visit our website at http://www.stisolarenergy.com/ solar92130.html

Kitchen Shrink: Stay thirsty, my friend BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN California is becoming desert dry, even in lush, fertile valleys, as we enter the fourth year of a severe drought that has depleted rivers, lakes and snowpacks. Alas, some of our most healthful and favorite crops are water hogs, especially broccoli that guzzles over five gallons of precious H2O to grow one head; a single walnut slurps 4.9 gallons; one almond swigs down over a gallon; a head of lettuce 3.5 gallons, and the lycopene powerhouse, the mighty tomato, drinks a whopping 3.3 gallons. While at a farmers market the other day, I heard ooh’s and ahh’s as a crowd gathered at one of the stalls displaying mounds of glistening, ruby red, perfectly spherical tomatoes, all uniformly shaped to fit neatly into the palm. These dry-farmed tomatoes are not only packed with nutrients and flavor, but are easy on the water supply. So pick them when they’re good and plenty.

The Wavecrest Woodie Show is Sept. 19, preceded by the Encinitas Car Classic on Sept. 17. Courtesy photo

Wavecrest Woodie Show returns Sept. 19 to Moonlight Beach Wavecrest, the oldest and largest purely wooden car show in the world will be held Sept. 19 at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas. The 36th annual Wavecrest Woodie Show, hosted by the San Diego Woodies and often called the granddaddy of all woodie meets, will run from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Moonlight Beach at the end of Encinitas Boulevard in Encinitas. Woodies begin arriving in the wee hours of the morning, and by 8 a.m. there are approximately 300 woodies of every size, shape, description on display. Throughout the day Hawaiian, rock and surf music are performed live, and there are fabulous raffle prizes and awards for the best of the best. Wavecrest merchandise and food will be for sale. The event is completely free for the public and the participants, and welcomes everyone. In addition to the all day Saturday Woodie meet, the weekend kicks off from 5:30-7:30 p.m. Sept. 17 at the Encinitas Car Classic Cruise Night held in downtown Encinitas. The cruise is hosted each summer by Encinitas 101 MainStreet Association. Woodie owners spend the weekend at the Best Western Hotel, where they hold a dinner and live auction from 5-8:30 p.m. Saturday evening. Offerings at the auction include amazing custom surfboards and other collectibles. Wavecrest winds down on Sunday morning when the woodies owners meet at Encinitas City Hall and cruise to Oceanside Harbor and back.

The Root of the Matter Dry-farming techniques use simple principles starting with traditional planting and watering practices until the tomato plant starts sprouting fruit. At this point, the farmer puts the skids on irrigation, stressing the plant so that it must use its roots to scout out water sources deep in the soil. With less water absorbed by the plant, the fruit will develop with a greater concentration of sugars, and ripen more quickly. The skin is also stronger and thicker so the dry farmed tomato doesn’t bruise as easily as other varieties. Left High and Dry Dry farming, a practice created centuries ago in Mediterranean regions, uses substantially less water than traditional growing methods. In California, farmers are using this environmentally conscious technique not only for tomatoes, but for other crops, including melons, squash, potatoes, wheat and corn. From Dry Farm to Table Smaller than most vine-ripened or heirloom varieties, the proverb about good things coming in small packages applies, as this tomato has the perfect balance of delicate sweetness and tart notes packed with intense flavor and a dense, rich texture that make it ideal for a variety of uses. Also, with less juice, the dry-farmed tomato doesn’t saturate dishes or make them soggy. Roast and puree into homemade condiments from barbecue and chili sauces to salsas and ketchup — the dry-farmed tomato will make these pop with brilliant color and taste. It’ll dial up gazpachos, marinara sauces, chilis, soups and stews, salads, antipasto platters and bruschettas, while adding a new dimension to sandwiches, pizzas and tarts. Or thread through skewers to add a splash of color to chicken, shrimp or vegetable kebobs. Eat this delectable sphere in hand like a fruit, or concoct a savory ice or gelato blending with fresh herbs and amber honey for your “just desserts.” Cook’s tip — Dry-farmed tomatoes pair well with basil, rosemary and cipolline onions. A Slice of Life These intense scarlet powerhouses have even higher concentrations of nutrients than other tomato varieties, including fiber, vitamins C and A, along with lycopene, a carotenoid pigment that is one of the prostate’s best pals. As lycopene is fat-soluble, eat it with a drizzle of heart-healthy extra virgin olive oil. In addition, cooking tomatoes releases even more lycopene than eating them raw. Baked ziti, anyone? Counter Intelligence Dry-farmed tomatoes, like other varieties, should not be stored in the fridge, as this will tamper with their tender flesh and zap them of their flavor. Simply store at room temperature on the counter out of direct sunlight.

A great west side location makes this classic rancher the perfect blend for the busy executive and his/her growing family. All of the bedrooms except one are clustered in one wing while the 5th bedroom which is perfect for the maid or guests is located on the opposite side of the home. The open kitchen ﬂows beautifully into a bright family room and dining room and overlooks the backyard with pool/spa, ﬁre pit, and grassy areas for the kids to play.
