SDUHSD to continue with blend of open enrollment, boundary schools BY KAREN BILLING After a year’s worth of workshops, surveys and passionate debates, San Dieguito Union High School District’s high school enrollment process will not change. The board made that direction to the district staff after a three-hour public meeting at Carmel Valley Middle School on Aug. 31,

DM school district explores options to pay for projects BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District is exploring the options of a general obligation bond or establishing school facilities improvement districts (SFID) to help meet its list of facilities needs. Last year, a working group developed the district’s facilities master plan, a comprehensive list of projects to complement the district’s educational goals. While the master plan has a list of facility plan improvements that totals $126 million, the district’s five-year facility plan priorities is about $35 million. The big-ticket items on the prioritized list include transforming libraries to in-
who live close to the schools. As Superintendent Rick Schmitt noted, there is no perfect solution in which everyone will be happy — the goal was to find the option that positively affects the most families. “I truly do believe in choice,” said board member Joyce Dalessandro. “There’s
The SD2 Chapter of Teen Volunteers in Action held its annual kick-off event on Aug. 30 at the Carmel Valley Boys & Girls Club. TVIA-SD2 is a group of 180 teens and parents committed to developing community leaders through volunteering, philanthropic work, and personal development. The kick-off event marks the start of a new year supporting San Diego area philanthropies. Making blankets for animals at the Helen Woodward Animal Center was one of the activities the teens and their parents participated in Aug. 30. For more, see page B13. Photo courtesy of Karen Monks.
New bus schedules driving some SDUHSD families to distraction BY KAREN BILLING The school bell will toll a little later on San Dieguito Union High School District campuses, as late start times have been added at Earl Warren and Carmel Valley middle schools. The schools also have an earlier “zero period” to allow students some flexibility with their schedules. At Earl Warren, first period starts at 8:20 a.m. If students opt to take zero period, they can start at 7:20 a.m.,
which about 25 percent of district students do. At the Aug. 20 school board meeting, Earl Warren parent Dick Bartsch said while the later start time is great, the district has a “backward” and “kidunfriendly policy” for the bus service that accompanies the start times. The bus schedules have changed significantly for the 2015-16 school year. Buses must deliver students very early to Oak Crest and Earl Warren
middle schools in order to pick up Diegueno and Carmel Valley middle school students on time. At dismissal, this reverses. Bartsch said in the spring, parents were told that the bus service would be available to bring kids to school for the later start time, and if they wanted to sign up for zero period, they would have to provide their own carpool.

from the school closest to home, but history has shown that such fears are unfounded. While 62 percent of students picked the academies for the 2015-16 school year, she noted trends do shift. “I’m dedicated to the best possible outcome for See BOUNDARY, page 29
Advisory committee on Del Mar design review process provokes some concerns BY KRISTINA HOUCK Rather than bring people together, a new committee in Del Mar has left the community divided. Although the city council established the ad-hoc development review process citizens’ advisory committee in response to the community’s concerns about the city’s design review process, the way the committee was appointed has also sparked concerns. In response, council members are slated to consider whether to make any changes to the committee’s makeup or membership at the next meeting, after the August recess. The nine-member committee was established in an effort to improve Del Mar’s design review process — a process intended to preserve and protect the community character. 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. Although most of the 450 residents who responded to the questionnaire said they were satisfied with the city, there See COMMITTEE, page 30

Solana Beach man arrested Concerns about traffic, architecture BY KRISTINA HOUCK A Solana Beach man accused of molesting a child and possessing child pornography is suspected to have engaged in such acts for the past decade, San Diego County Sheriff’s officials recently announced. Days after his arrest in another county, Sean O’Farrell was booked into the Vista Detention Facility early Aug. 27 for allegedly possessing child pornography. The 40-yearold man was already facing charges for allegedly soliciting sex from a teen Aug. 18 in Rancho Cucamonga. “Based on the investigation to date, we strongly believe that O’Farrell has engaged in sexual acts with minor children over the course of probably 10 years,” Capt. Theresa Adams-Hydar said during an Aug. 27 press conference at the North Coastal Sheriff’s Station in Encinitas. O’Farrell on Aug. 18 reportedly offered a 15-year-old boy money in exchange for a sexual favor at a Rancho Cucamonga library, according to the San Bernardino County Sheriff-Coroner Department. The incident occurred about 5 p.m., when the teen was approached in the second-floor bathroom. The boy reported the incident to a staff member who contacted police. When police arrested O’Farrell, he was found in possession of several different library cards, including cards for the Carmel Valley and Solana Beach libraries. After the arrest, officials at the North Coastal Sheriff’s Station obtained a warrant to search O’Farrell’s Solana Beach home. O’Farrell lives with family in a home near Earl Warren Middle School and the Solana Beach Library. “We made the decision to take the next step in this case to make sure our community is kept safe from sexual predators like O’Farrell,” Adams-Hydar said.
Detectives searched O’Farrell’s home on Aug. 26 and found several videos that showed “prepubescent boys in various states of undress, naked and engaged in sexual activity,” Adams-Hydar said. O’Farrell pleaded not guilty to pos- Sean O’Farrell session of child pornography during his Aug. 28 arraignment. A readiness conference is scheduled for Sept. 8 and a preliminary hearing is set for Sept. 14 at the Vista Courthouse. Investigators said they suspect O’Farrell has also preyed on children in San Diego County. Officials confirmed people have previously reported O’Farrell has displayed suspicious behavior at local libraries. There was no evidence that a crime had been committed, however, so he was not arrested. Adams-Hydar asked anyone with information about O’Farrell to come forward, including victims. “San Diego County Sheriff’s Department wants to keep the County of San Diego, our children, safe,” Adams-Hydar said. “We need your help to do that.” She said O’Farrell may be employed as a butcher at a local grocery store. He has also volunteered with an unidentified youth club in the area, she added. Victims are encouraged to contact the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department at 858-565-5200 or Crime Stoppers at 888-5808477.
greet new DM city hall design plans BY KRISTINA HOUCK With plans for Del Mar’s new civic center now in the design development phase, project architects on Aug. 26 presented the early plans to the city’s Design Review Board. Located on the site of the city’s facilities at 1050 Camino del Mar, the proposed project includes a 9,250-square-foot city hall in the middle of the site slightly to the south, a 3,200-square-foot multipurpose town hall in the southeast corner, and a 15,000-square-foot plaza fronting Camino del Mar. The town hall would accommodate council chambers, community meeting space and Del Mar TV studios. City hall and the town hall would be connected by a weather-protected glass breezeway with large pivoting doors. The plan features a 4,500-square-foot public overlook in the northwest corner of the lot and a total of 11,700 square feet of open space available for future expansion. The plan also includes a two-level underground parking garage on a third of the site, with surface parking on another third of the site for about 160 parking spaces. In previous presentations to the council, and again, in the presentation to the board, Mike Jobes, principal with The Miller Hull Partnership, emphasized that the designs would include wooden buildings with lots of windows, such as “wooden lattice work” on the north-facing wall of the town hall. Structures would feature wooden ceilings and tresses, including inside town hall, taking a cue from other buildings in the community. After seeing the latest plans, community members shared concerns about the project’s direction, including the placement of structures, public and private views, and the character of the project, from bulk and mass to materials. Longtime Del Mar resident and developer Jim Watkins, who early on submitted plans for the project, along with his daughter, Kit Leeger, was among a few speakers who addressed the contemporary aesthetic design for the complex. “Most of the work, I think, is very well done,” said Watkins, who thanked Jobes for his work on the final site plan and parking proposal. With concerns about aesthetics, however, Watkins pointed to L’Auberge Del Mar, which he designed, as an example of a project that reflected the city’s character and charm. “The design is ageless,” he said. “It is now almost 30 years old, and yet, in 50 years from now, it will have the same appeal. “We have so many wonderful, charming structures here in Del Mar that are the essence of Del Mar,” he added, noting the Del Mar Library, St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, Powerhouse Community Center and Stratford Square, among other examples. “These buildings, and many, many more in Del Mar, represent the heritage of our comSee PLANS, page 28

Mixed-use residential-over-retail development coming to Pacific Highlands Ranch BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board approved the Corallina development, 109 residential units and 30,000 square feet of retail in Pacific Highlands Ranch, at its Aug. 27 meeting. Developer John Finley has been working on the project with his father, Mike, since 2008. It has been a long process: John Finley noted his son was nine when he started and is now turning 16. “We put our heart and soul into this project, as we do in all of our projects, but this one especially because it’s in our backyard,� said Finley, who has lived in the area since 1974 when most of Carmel Valley was nothing but canyon. Along Village Way, a continuation of the road from the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch, Corallina will feature vertical mixed-use with residential flats above retail. Twentyone affordable housing units will be above retail across Village Way. A separate part of Corallina will feature three-story townhomes with two-car garages— the backs of the homes will face Carmel Valley Road, behind a required soundwall. Tara Lake of Latitude 33 said they have added interest to the wall with a number of gates and decorative features. Finley said they have worked hard to engage the Pacific Highlands Ranch neighbors, a statement backed by resident Karen Dubey. “The Finleys have been very cooperative with the community the whole time,� Dubey said. “They are the only builder so far to stick with the original vision of the Village to have vertical mixed use, and I applaud them for doing that.� The developers hope to have Corallina before the planning commission in October and to be approved by City Council by November to start construction in 2016. The board voted 12-1 in favor of approval on the condition that the developers resolve a conflict over a wall that separates the project from Coast Income Properties’ Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch. The wall rises on the edge of the property from Carmel Valley Road, and for most of its 400-foot length, it runs 10 feet high, although at its peak it is 15 feet high. Dan Curran, representing Coast Income, said they haven’t been able to come to an agreement on the wall yet, but they have a good relationship with the Finleys and hope to find a resolution. “Everybody wants this to be the right thing for both projects,� Curran said, who added that they don’t want to be in opposition to Corallina, but they don’t want the wall to negatively affect the Village. The board commented that they would like the developer to explore the possibility of lowering the wall by three feet and using a wall with less visual impact, such as a geogrid wall formed to the slope or living wall. Board members commented that the architecture of the Carmel Valley Road side doesn’t have the same “flair� as the interior, and asked that the developers consider adding

Finley said it is early in the process, although they have had a lot of interest from possible tenants. He said they will have to see what the market demand will be, so close by the Village. Curran said the Village’s plan is to have five sit-down restaurants and three quick-serve eateries. Stay tuned, he said, for new tenant announcements: Crudo by Pascal Lorange and Dolce Pane & Vino have been announced as tenants so far, and Panera Bread has been open since April.

‘Integrated learning’ the goal with new STEAM + curriculum BY KAREN BILLING With the brand-new STEAM + curriculum, Del Mar Union School District is aiming for the wow factor, removing traditional barriers and engaging students in an interdisclipinary approach to learning in science, technology, engineering, arts and music. The plus sign represents each individual school’s educational programs that reflect the character of their school community, be it language experiences or increased opportunities for math, robotics, instrumental band or orchestra. As the district makes the rebranding transition from Extended Studies Curriculum (ESC) to STEAM +, the goal is to incorporate integrated learning in every classroom, not just the specialist’s classroom. Last week, students headed back to school to see the bright, cheerful STEAM + logo on display on campus banners, and students sported STEAM + T-shirts. Shelley Petersen, assistant superintendent of in-
The new studios offer flexible furnishings and different learning spaces that help students use technology efficiently, build, contemplate, explore and collaborate. “Our expectations have grown because they’re going to progress so much more quickly because we have an environment that allows them to do that,� Petersen said. The learning studios, she said, “are more than just a ‘nice to have.’� Peterson said the district will continue to evaluate the pilot modern learning studios throughout the school year, and hopefully the classrooms will be able to be replicated on other campuses.
Solana Beach Council OKs bluff repairs The new STEAM + logo. structional services, said the logo designed by STEAM + art teacher Janese Swanson, makes her happy every time she looks at it. “This is one of the most exciting projects we’ve ever had the pleasure to work on as a district,� Petersen said. “It has been so much fun to launch it.� Petersen said the district worked hard with the Del Mar Schools Education Foundation to develop their message for what STEAM + really is. She said it is about the highest quality instruction and purposeful learning around clear concepts that require students to think critically and explore solutions to real-world problems. It is “strategic thinking, innovation and collaboration that promotes deep understanding and helps sustain a lifetime of inquiry,� she said. Another part of STEAM + is creating responsive learning environments, such as the modern learning studios being piloted at Carmel Del Mar and Sycamore Ridge this year. ‘We have to continue to look at our spaces. We can’t continue to do business as usual,� Petersen said. “We have to think about how the environment is responsive to teachers and students and what we’re asking them to do.�
BY KRISTINA HOUCK With El NiĂąo brewing in the equatorial Pacific, Solana Beach recently approved a bluff maintenance project in time for what could be an unusually wet winter. The Solana Beach City Council on Aug. 25 unanimously approved a permit for repairs to the concrete plugs in five sea caves and the filling of a clay notch to mitigate the erosion of the bluff, where houses and condominiums sit at the edge of the sea. If also approved by the California Coastal Commission, the work would be covered by the Solana Beach and Tennis Club, a 152-condomium complex on Sierra Avenue at the top of the bluff, which was constructed in 1973 before the city’s incorporation. “Everyone in this room really wants to keep the beaches safe for our community and our visitors, near and far,â€? said Danielle Koelbl, a resident of the complex. In 1996, Solana Beach approved a permit to fill the five sea caves. The infills were constructed in 1998. Since then, monitoring reports were provided to the city in 1998, 1999, 2000, 2003 and 2005. With repairs needed, residents of the complex in 2013 requested approval for the repair of the five concrete infills, including the installation of steel reinforcements and structural “shotcreteâ€? (sprayed concrete) infill material. Although they received approval from the council, the California Coastal Commission opposed the construction of high-strength concrete for sea cave and notch infills incorporating steel reinforcement. Since that time, the city’s Local Coastal Plan and Land Use Plan have been amended and the project plan has also been revised. The council-approved plans now include several new shoreline protective device designs, including erodable concrete, as well as the addition of a new seacave infill.

San Diego Planning Commission OKs Cal Coast Academy near Clews Ranch • Panel’s vote is 4-2 to approve school, despite objections of neighboring property, because it’s allowed under zoning BY KAREN BILLING Cal Coast Academy, a new specialized school in Carmel Valley, was approved 4-2 by the San Diego Planning Commission on Aug. 27. The 5,340-square-foot classroom building will be built next to the 140-year-old white farmhouse on Clews Ranch Road, close to the popular CVREP trail. Neighboring Clews Horse Ranch had fought against the development so close to its ranch and riding arena, citing concerns about the danger the adjacent school use poses for riders, fire safety issues on the narrow access road and the possibility that the school could effectively put their ranch out of business. In April, the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board made no recommendation to be forwarded to the city, failing to reach majority in a 5-4 vote with two abstentions in support of the school. The city’s Development Services Department’s Hearing Officer approved the project in May, and the Clewses filed an appeal to the planning commission. The planning commission’s deliberations played out over three separate hearings. A July 23 hearing included two hours and 40 minutes of testimony, and a July 30 hearing was continued to Aug. 27, as the commission could not act because it didn’t have the required votes. “This decision is not one I take lightly; there was compelling testimony on both sides of this,” said Commissioner Douglas Austin. Commissioners Anthony Wagner and James Whalen voted in opposition. Over the course of the hearings, commissioners struggled with the compatibility of the two uses, the testimony of threats to rider safety and to the ranch’s business, and the appropriateness of a school at that location. But when it came down to it, as Commissioner Theresa Quiroz stated, the school use is allowed by right under the property’s multifamily zoning. Ted Shaw of Latitude 33, representing Cal Coast, said that they appreciate and respect that the Clewses have a business there and believe that the uses can be compatible. “We’ve attempted in every way possible, except leaving, to address the issues that they’ve raised,” Shaw said. “We’ve worked for two years now to come up with appropriate solutions that allow both uses to exist.” Cal Coast’s “voluntary neighborly measures” include capping the school at 75 students and addressing the sensitivity of the horses next door with no outside alarms, bells or public address system, no recess and no PE. Cal Coast will also limit school traffic on the small Clews Ranch Road by shuttling students to and from campus from the CVREP parking lot

The school has even proposed building a 300-foot-long, 12-foot-high wall and planting an extra-large hedge to provide a buffer between the two sites. Chairman Tim Golba said he was encouraged that the dialogue between the ranch and the school has been civil. “Work together, because I do believe there is a chance that a lot of this can be mitigated in the spirit of cooperation,” Golba said. “You’re neighbors. You’re going to share a driveway. Let’s hope that there can continue to be an open dialogue and it moves forward in the best possible manner.”

Summer storm a surprise addition to DM Del Mar school district board mourns special district’s summer maintenance work teacher: ‘We will take care of her children’ BY KAREN BILLING Del Mar Union School District’s Mike Galis, director of maintenance, operations and facilities, was asked to “work miracles” this summer. In addition to a summer’s worth of scheduled school campus improvements, Galis and his staff had to deal with a surprise of heavy rains in July just as roof work was being done at Carmel Del Mar. While the team did its best to prep before the storm, the flood damage at the school was significant. “It was just one big mess,” Galis said. What followed was a mad rush to get the school back into shape for the first day of school. A disaster restoration company was brought in, and all of the classrooms’ contents had to be packed up and moved to the multiuse room for storage while carpets were ripped out and replaced with new flooring, damaged walls and ceilings were redone and the rooms were completely cleaned. The crew filled four 40-yard Dumpsters with damaged materials. In addition to the storm
New flooring in Carmel Del Mar’s front entryway became part of the post-rainstorm cleanup. Photo by Karen Billing recovery efforts, Carmel Del Mar was in the process of partial modernization, which included the new roof, skylights, heating, ventilation and air conditioning system, and new modern learning studios. Several district campuses saw improvement projects over the summer. At Ashley Falls, crews spruced up the Early Childhood Development Center and after school program facility, installing a new sign and mural, new furniture and carpet. The play structures were redone at Del Mar Heights, and new flooring was installed in the administration area at Del Mar Hills as well as new tables and benches in the lunch area. Sycamore Ridge also got modern learning studios and as work continues on the new Early Childhood Development Center at Torrey Hills, the campus also got a new play area and parking lot. All school campuses had bulbs replaced with LED bulbs with help from the California Conservation Corps. Galis said the new bulbs will result in energy savings of $40,000 to $50,000 a year and will last 50,000 hours per lamp versus 20,000 hours.
BY KAREN BILLING At the Aug. 26 Del Mar Union School District board meeting, colleagues reflected on the loss of teacher Debra Kelly, 41, who passed away on July 31 after a fight with cervical cancer. She is survived by her husband, Sifi, and children Jack and Charlotte, who attend Torrey Hills Elementary School. “She was very special to all of us in the district,” said Superintendent Holly McClurg. “She was taken from us much too soon, and we will take care of her children.” Kelly was a teacher in the district for 15 years, starting as a fifth grade teacher at Del Mar Heights and, most recently, teaching kindergarten at Ocean Air School. At the Aug. 26 meeting, Erik Bienke, president of the Del Mar California Teachers Association, said Kelly was his master teacher when he first started at Del Mar Heights. “From the very first day, she completely opened her classroom to me with complete trust and just the right Debra Kelly amount of care and support,” Bienke said. “I owe so much of my success as a teacher to her.” Bienke said she will be remembered for her “kindness, her radiant smile and for being an amazing wife, mother and friend.” A Facebook page was set up to honor Debbie and it is filled with messages from friends, former students and fellow teachers. Kelly was “an angel on earth, an inspiration, perfection, smart, kind, magical and a true beauty who has made all of our lives richer in every way,” wrote Paige Rollins, who was a “baby teacher” alongside Kelly at Del Mar Heights. “She was quiet, calm and did not feel the need to have recognition for all she did, instead she chose to let others shine,” wrote friend Paula Diamond. “One of the books she read to her kindergarten students as they started their educational journey was called ‘The Curious Garden.’ It is a beautiful example of how one person can make a difference and inspire others to bring joy and beauty to this world.” Diamond wrote that Kelly certainly made a difference and was not just a teacher in the classroom, but one of life. A celebration of her life was held Aug. 22 at Canyon Crest Academy.

Last year, through the Del Mar Schools Education Foundation (DMSEF), parents and corporations donated $1.27 million to DMUSD to help fund the salaries and benefits of the STEAM+ specialists who teach subjects such as science, technology, art, music and PE. Generally speaking, the foundation provides 40 percent of those salaries and benefits through an annual restricted gift to the school district. This summer, the foundation elected four new officers and welcomed five new representatives to the board. Each officer continues to represent the interests of his or her school on the board. New officers are Andrew Zack (Sage Canyon), VP, Marketing; Brooks Herman (Ashley Falls), Treasurer; Susan Polizzotto (Ocean Air), Secretary; and David Krich (Del Mar Hills), VP, Administration. Ty Humes (Ocean Air) was re-elected as president, and Kevin Campbell (Del Mar Heights) re-elected as vice president of electronic communications. In addition to these new officers, five new representatives joined the board: Sharry Zubrod (Sycamore Ridge), Patricia Porter (Torrey Hills), Lesley Mundis (Torrey Hills), Josh Raysman (Carmel Del Mar), and Louis Nguyen (Del Mar Heights). DMSEF remains committed to supporting the credentialed teachers of STEAM+ subjects and kicked off its new campaign year with a focus on providing more information to parents, engaging directly at campus events via the school representatives, and promoting a monthly giving program that allows parents to spread their contribution through the year. The foundation suggests a tax-deductible $800 contribution per student, and regardless of contribution amount, hopes that all families will support their children’s education as best they can. For information about the DMSEF or STEAM+, parents should contact their school representatives. To contribute to the DMSEF, please visit give.dmsef.org.

Gaspar to run against Roberts for supervisor seat: ‘I have a lot to offer’ BY JARED WHITLOCK Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar announced Aug. 31 she’s vying for the San Diego County Board of Supervisors seat held by Dave Roberts. “I have a lot to offer the county and the communities in the district,” Gaspar said, citing her time as an elected official in Encinitas and her business background. She is the chief financial officer of Gaspar Doctors Physical Therapy, a company she runs with her husband. Gaspar said as county supervisor she’d focus on roads, infrastructure and core services, echoing a pitch during her successful 2014 Encinitas Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar speaks to an audience mayoral campaign. Shortly after Gaspar during the State of the City Address in spring 2015. threw her hat in the ring for Gaspar is seeking to unseat Supervisor Dave Roberts on the 2016 supervisor election, the County Board of Supervisors. Roberts’ camp issued a press release criticizing her for seeking office nine months after Encinitas voters chose her as mayor. “This kind of political opportunism from yet another career politician is just what voters are tired of,” said Roberts’ spokesman, Gary Gartner. Gaspar countered that she will have finished her two-year mayoral term by the time the supervisor role would start. She added that the “career politician” label doesn’t fit, because she has spent so much of her adult life working on expanding Gaspar Doctors Physical Therapy and volunteering for local groups. She and Councilman Mark Muir make up a conservative-leaning council minority, with Lisa Shaffer, Catherine Blakespear and Tony Kranz part of a more liberal council majority. Gaspar was elected in 2010, and council observers saw her as being among a pro-business, conservative majority that lasted until 2012. When asked what her decision to run for supervisor might mean for the Encinitas council race in 2016, Gaspar said it’s too early to tell.
“It will be an interesting election to watch, because there are four seats up,” Gaspar said of the five-member council. Last year, Gaspar was a vocal critic of the city buying the $10 million Pacific View property from the Encinitas Union School District for a community gathering space. She said that council vote came at the expense of funding for roads and public safety. Kranz, who came in second in the Encinitas mayoral race, argued that the purchase was fiscally sound and saved the legacy property. Gaspar is the second North County Republican mayor running for the supervisor position. Escondido Mayor Sam Abed announced in June that he was running. To distinguish herself from Abed, Gaspar said serving as the Encinitas mayor has given her a strong understanding of coastal issues, adding that’s key for the Third District seat, which covers much of North County and the northern part of the city of San Diego. As mayor, she has pushed for federal approval and funding for a 50-year sand replenishment project designed to battle beach erosion in Encinitas and Solana Beach. Gartner, Roberts’ spokesman, sought to highlight Roberts’ record in the press release. For one, he said, Roberts secured $2.1 million for major enhancements at the San Diego Botanic Garden. “Supervisor Dave Roberts has a record working collaboratively and with innovation to create new jobs, enhance and protect our environment, and improve public safety,” Gartner wrote. Roberts, the lone Democrat on the five-member Board of Supervisors, has faced controversy in recent months. Three employees who resigned filed claims alleging an abuse of power, including that Roberts instructed county employees to do re-election work on county time. Roberts has denied all accusations. The Board of Supervisors oversees a more than $5 billion budget.

TPHS alum brings it home for role in ‘Return to Forbidden Planet’ BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although he’s come a long way from his alma mater stage, Charlie Gange’s latest show is taking place close to home. As one of the stars of New Village Arts Theatre’s “Return to the Forbidden Planet,� the Torrey Pines High School alum is hoping his Carmel Valley friends and family will make the trip to Carlsbad. “They’re my biggest support,� he said. “Whenever they’re there, the show goes a little better, for sure.� Inspired by Shakespeare’s “The Tempest� and the 1950s science fiction film “Forbidden Planet,� the musical features special effects along with rock ’n’ roll classics such as “Good Vibrations,� “Great Balls of Fire� and “I Heard It Through the Grapevine.� The show opened July 25 and runs through Sunday, Sept. 6. “It’s super fun,� Gange said. “It’s like the campiest, cheesiest, quirkiest musical ever.� Although Gange, 22, grew up playing music — he learned how to play piano at 7 and guitar at 10 — he didn’t appear in his first musical until he was a sophomore in high school. At one time, his love of performing on the field surpassed his love of performing on the stage. “You name it, I played it,� said Gange, who was a member of baseball, basketball, football, soccer and swimming teams while growing up. “With that, I always thought musical theater was lame. I didn’t want to do it because I wanted to be tough and cool and play sports.� Gange changed his mind about musical theater after seeing Johnny Depp in the film adaptation of the musical “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.� He fondly recalled later auditioning for the musical at his school one day after football practice, still dressed in his uniform. He landed the lead role. “I did it and I absolutely fell in love with it,� Gange said. “I think I always knew I wanted to act and perform. I just didn’t really know that there was no limitation to that.� After his breakthrough role, Gange landed a part in “The Who’s Tommy� in his senior year. In addition to the two roles, Gange performed original music and covers at lunch and during school events. Along with other theater students, he also performed a song at his graduation. “It was a really good feeling to be accepted for what I loved doing,� he said. After graduating from Torrey Pines in 2011, Gange studied music at the University of Oregon. “It was nice just sitting in a forest, finding a log and playing guitar on a river — something you can’t really get in Carmel Valley,� he said. “It was a really cool place to do that for a couple years.� After two years in Oregon, Gange returned to San Diego. He is in his final semester at San Diego State University, where he expects to earn his bachelor’s degree in music later this year. While studying music, Gange continues to sharpen his skills on and off the stage. Since high school, he has starred in shows by ACT San Diego, Flat Seven Productions, Diversionary Theatre and Moonlight Stage Productions. He also plays in a rock band called Sights and Sages, formed in 2014.
Torrey Pines High School alumnus Charlie Gange is one of the stars in New Village Arts Theatre’s “Return to the Forbidden Planet.� As Cookie (seen at left), he plays the guitar throughout most of the show and has an “epic guitar solo.� Courtesy photo
This is his time, working with New Village Arts Theatre. As Cookie, he plays the guitar throughout most of the show and has an “epic guitar solo� called, “She’s Not There,� which was the debut single by the British rock band The Zombies. “It’s a fun part of the show,� said Gange, who described his character as timid but sweet. “It’s cool, and it’s supposed to express my inner angst.� “Return to the Forbidden Planet� runs through Sept. 6 at New Village Arts Theatre, at 2787 State St., Suite B, in Carlsbad. For information or to buy tickets, call 760-433-3245 or visit www.newvillagearts.org. “We’re all having a blast and the audience is having a blast, too,� Gange said. “It’s a really good time.� For more about Gange, visit www.charliegange.com.

Zable Foundation awards $20K to San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy The San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy (SDRVC) has been awarded a $20,000 grant from the Walter J and Betty C. Zable Foundation towards construction of the River Path Del Mar. The conservancy is spearheading the effort to build the River Path extension for residents and visitors to learn about the lagoon environment and the River Valley Park. The River Path provides a scenic overlook of the San Dieguito Lagoon and River, complete with interpretive signage of the flora and fauna of the river and lagoon. The trail goes from Jimmy Durante Boulevard west to the coast and parallels the south edge of the river, providing beautiful water views and information regarding this important wetland and natural resource. This grant will help fund the construction of the portion of River Path Del Mar from Jimmy Durante Boulevard east to the Old Grand Avenue Bridge, providing scenic vistas of the lagoon wetlands and interpretive information of the flora and fauna. The total project cost is estimated at $475,000. This cost includes project design, entitlements and easement acquisition, environmental review and mitigation, and construction. Sixty-five percent of the funding has been committed through a $150,000 grant provided by the county of San Diego through District 3 Supervisor Dave Roberts; $73,000 in private donations received by the Conservancy; $54,500 in grants received by the Conservancy ($20,000 from the Tippett Foundation, $20,000 from the Zable Foundation, $7,000 from REI, $6,000 from the Del Mar Foundation and $1,500 from the California 10/20 Race), and $35,000 through the city of Del Mar, including a $5,000 grant from the Friends of the San Dieguito River Valley. “This is the first donation San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy has been awarded by the Zable Foundation and we are very pleased to be partnering with them on the project,” said Trish Boaz, executive director of the Conservancy. The coastal area, which includes the San Dieguito Lagoon, is the “gateway” to the San Dieguito River Park. It has vital ecological importance for the region as a stop for birds on the Pacific Flyway and as nesting and foraging areas for endangered, threatened and sensitive animal and plant species. Building on a lifetime of community philanthropy, the Walter J. and Betty C. Zable

Harvest for Hope fundraiser hopes to reap $130K for families fighting cancer BY KRISTINA HOUCK San Diegans Richard and Diane Nares lost their son to cancer, but Emilio’s memory lives on through the foundation they started to help other families in need. To continue to support families throughout the region, the couple invite the community to the foundation’s 12th annual “Harvest for Hope” fundraiser Sept. 13 at the San Diego Central Library. Jeffrey “The organization Strauss came about because we were so aware of how devastating this journey is,” Diane Nares said. “We had strong support systems all around us, but so many others don’t.” The Emilio Nares Foundation was created in 2003, two years after the couple lost their 5-year-old son, who died in 2000 after a three-year battle with leukemia. “We couldn’t walk away from this,” Nares said. “We saw so much, and there is such great need.” For more than a decade, the nonprofit has transported children and their families to and from chemotherapy appointments, checkups, blood transfusions and other types of treatment involved in the fight against cancer. The idea for the foundation stemmed from the countless hours the couple spent at Rady Children’s Hospital, then called Children’s Hospital of San Diego, helping their son in his fight. During that time, they got to know oth-
er families also fighting cancer. Many families, Nares said, relied on public transportation and struggled to pay extra bus fares. “As hard as it was, much of our journey was picked up and covered. As we fell, the community picked us up,” she said. “We wanted to establish the foundation so we could raise funds to create a variety of programs and services that take care of very basic and simple needs.” The couple started offering rides to families in need, but within weeks, there were more requests than they could handle. From there, they raised enough funds in the first year to purchase a van, hire a driver and provide free transportation. Since then, the foundation has grown to two full-time drivers and two vans in San Diego. On average, the foundation provides transportation for about 40 children and their families to Rady every week, Nares said. With another fulltime driver and a 15-passenger van, the program has also expanded to transport children and their families to and from Children’s Hospital of Orange County. More recently, hospital rides are now being offered for residents of Imperial County. In addition to transportation, the foundation offers a variety of other resources, including the Family Resource Center at Rady, where families can research cancer and access information on housing, employment, financial aid and other forms of assistance. “We can help with the really simple needs that people take for granted,” Nares said. The foundation’s largest annual fund-

Courtesy photos raiser, Harvest for Hope, started 12 years ago, when a group of local chefs, including Jeffrey Strauss, owner and chef of Solana Beach-based Pamplemousse Grille, decided to do something to support the Emilio Nares Foundation. Nares has known a number of the chefs for some time, as she has worked in the food and wine industry for 25 years. “I can’t imagine anything more painful than losing a child,” Strauss said. “Diane and her husband mean the world to me. They are two kind and giving people. It was a no-brainier. I couldn’t wait to help out.” This year, Strauss said, he and his team are planning to present a dessert buffet at the event. “I enjoy giving back to the community,” Strauss said. “The community supports us so much. If I didn’t have the support of the community in San Diego, we couldn’t do the things we do.”
With a $130,000 fundraising goal, this year’s Harvest for Hope will include gourmet food and beverage stations, a live and silent auction, and entertainment by local musicians Lori Bell and Ron Satterfield.

New this year, Snake Oil Cocktail Company will pour donated spirits, craft beers and wines from all over the world. “Great food, great people and a great cause — I can’t imagine a better reason to come out,” Strauss said. “It’s going to be a beautiful day.” “Harvest for Hope” takes place 1-4 p.m. Sept. 13 on the ninth floor of San Diego Central Library, at 330 Park Blvd. Tickets cost $135 each or $1,000 for 10 people.

TPHS senior’s dance program takes steps toward Scouting’s Gold Award Samantha Griffith, a Torrey Pines High School senior, is scheduled to receive the prestigious Gold Award from Girl Scouts of San Diego County this fall. To do so, senior Girl Scouts are required to conceive, organize and implement a community service project that will affect the community on an ongoing basis. Samantha created and initiated a dance program at Community HousingWorks locations in Poway and Teresa, Vanessa, Bernell, Tomilyn, Albana, Maya practice Carlsbad. She taught dance during a session. classes to the children, ages 8-12, who live there, and who would otherwise not have access to dance lessons. She also engaged other high school students to volunteer with her at each location for each 10-week session, and while she will continue to occasionally teach class, she has arranged for other students, mostly teammates on her school dance team, to continue to volunteer to organize and teach classes. “With the rising cost of extracurricular activities, many children don’t have the opportunity to experience the arts outside of a school setting,” said Alison Lizarraga, community building coordinator in Poway. “Samantha Griffin and her volunteers helped bridge that gap by providing ongoing dance lessons to children in Poway as her Girl Scout Gold Award. Samantha has done an extraordinary job. She is very passionate about dance, and about teaching children, and it shows. The children love her and look forward to seeing her every Thursday afternoon!”
DM Foundation speaker to discuss ‘Our Next Earthquake’ on Sept. 15 Join the Del Mar Foundation for a free presentation from 6-8 p.m. Sept. 15 on “Our Next Earthquake,” by Dr. Debi Kilb, a nationally acclaimed earthquake expert at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Kilb will be talking about her research and what it means to our region. “Research based on plate tectonics indicates we are overdue for an earthquake on the southern part of the San Andreas Fault, suggesting a large earthquake will happen,” she said. “It is just a matter of time.” She goes on to say that “the uncertainties in these calculations are large, indicating a big earthquake on the San Andreas could rupture today, Debi Kilb tomorrow or 100 years from now. We need to be prepared, not scared.” Kilb has a primary research interest in mainshock/aftershock sequences, with a focus on earthquake source mechanics and earthquake triggering processes. Her studies address questions such as: Do small and large earthquakes begin similarly? What are the underlying physics responsible for aftershock generation? How can we unravel the source, path, and site effects within earthquakes? The presentation, followed by questions and answers, takes place at the Powerhouse Community Center. A wine and cheese reception will begin at 6 p.m., and the program begins at 6:30 p.m. Reservations are required and can be made at www.delmarfoundation.org.

TPHS students’ wizardry creates magical ‘Harry Potter’ camp BY KRISTINA HOUCK Having read “Harry Potter” 17 times, there’s no question the seven-book series has left a lasting impact on Carmel Valley’s Carolyn Chu. Hoping to share the adventures of the young wizard with other youth, the Torrey Pines High School senior recently held a weeklong camp for those interested in the wizarding world. “We lived vicariously through these kids,” Carolyn said with a laugh. “We had a lot of fun.” Carolyn first read the J.K. Rowling books when she was 9 years old. Now 17, she remembers wishing for an acceptance latter from Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry — the fictional magic school, where Harry Potter and his friends Ronald Weasley and Hermione Granger were students.

Over the next few days the kids participated in other activities, from a scavenger hunt to trivia. They also played a game of Quidditch and made Butterbeer — a combination of vanilla ice cream, vanilla cream soda and butterscotch syrup. Although this was Carolyn’s first time creating a camp, it wasn’t her first time working with children. As a member of her school’s Art In Motion Club, she leads arts and crafts projects for kids at the Carmel Valley Library. She is also an experienced babysitter. “Kids surprise you a lot,” said Carolyn, who is also a member of Torrey Pines’ Model United Nations team, a member of the badminton team and editor of the school’s science magazine. “They can be really creative.” A total of 22 fourth- and fifth-grade students participated in Harry Potter Camp. Because it was the camp’s first year, Carolyn opted not to charge a fee, so all children participated for free. “It was the best turnout I could have asked for,” said Carolyn, who hopes to pass on the camp to other high school students as she plans to go to college next fall. “The kids were really creative and enthusiastic.” “Seeing the happiness of the kids and their parents was really wonderful,” Michelle added. “One of the students in my house told me on our last day that he had ‘the best week,’ and those words really validated all the effort that went into this camp. I hope that our students walked away with a love of ‘Harry Potter’ and the values it teaches.” For more about the camp, visit www.hpsummercamp.com.

Torrey Pines varsity team caps sweep of Steele Canyon, 28-7 BY WALTER BAYS Torrey Pines varsity football team capped a sweep of Steele Canyon with a 28-7 victory over the Cougars on the road. Earlier, the frosh won 35-0 and the JV 21-14. By the 7 p.m. kickoff, the temperature in Spring Valley had cooled to a balmy 94 degrees. Both teams moved the ball well at times, ground and air, picking up first downs. In the end, the Falcons made more breakaway plays and crucial stops, and the Cougars made more mistakes. Torrey Pines was first on the board after a long run by Matthew Feeler, then Jacob Montes carried for the touchdown. A long pass from quarterback Caden Kelly to Michael Gadinas put the Falcons in position, and Cole Svoboda carried it in. Falcons 14-0. A good Cougar drive ended with tackles in the backfield by Falcon defensive backs Henry Alter and Matthew Feeler, then their field goal attempt was blocked by Tristen Alesi. The Cougars’ next drive was halted by a Michael Perrone tackle, and on 4th and 5
their field goal attempt was no good. Torrey Pines drove downfield on the running of Alesi, Feeler, and Murray Kim. Then Kelly connected with Lukas Braun in the end zone to put the Falcons up 21-0 with 17 seconds in the half. On the ensuing kickoff, Braun made the tackle which kept the return from going all the way as time ran out. As Steele Canyon tried to come back, the Falcon pass defense was impressive: Alter, Feeler, Beau Morgans, and Jacob Schneider. Facing 4th and 10 at the Falcon 27, the Cougars had to go for it. Ty Helfrich made the stop for a turnover on downs. On Steele Canyon’s final possession, Alesi came up with an interception and ran it all the way down to the Cougar 7, where the Falcons punched it in to make it 28-0. The Cougars escaped a shutout with a score late in the final period to make the final 287. Next game, Torrey Pines takes on Mission Hills. The frosh play at 5 p.m. Thursday at Mission Hills, while the JV host at 4 p.m. and the varsity host at 7 p.m. Friday. It will be the Grizzlies’ season opener.

Highway 101, Solana Beach, 92075. Interested riders can sign up at www.pedalforparkinsons.net. Three spinning classes are also available at the start/finish line by reservation as an alternative. Each spin session will last 45 minutes. The entry fee for all three rides and the spin class is $45 each. A jersey is $70 extra, shorts are $60 more and T-shirts are an extra $10. To date, riders from Australia, Germany and Canada are planning their own events to join San Diego riders and Pedal for Parkinson’s. This event is a fundraiser for www.Summit4StemCell.org, supporting a non-embryonic stem-cell research project underway at the Scripps Clinic and Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla. Using a Nobel Prize-winning approach, researchers take a Parkinson’s patient’s own skin cells and reverse-process them into induced pluripotent stem cells. Those stem cells are then developed into dopamine-producing neurons, which will be transplanted back into the patient’s brain. Parkinson’s is caused by dopamine neuron deficiency. This promising effort is being funded by private donations, grants, and fundraising, not pharmaceutical companies.

Attic Construction will help rodent-proof your home By Marti Gacioch
Jacob Leone scored the first Falcon TD. Photo by Anna Scipione
There are few things worse for a homeowner than having visitors decide to stay — especially the four-legged kind like mice and rodents. To eliminate nesting and any future visits, Attic Construction’s professional and friendly technicians can help. The construction team specializes in insulation services and rodent solutions that provide an inventive, non-toxic way to evict undesirable creatures from attics, end their staycation and block their return. When one of the technicians at Attic Construction enters a client’s attic, they look for any openings for mice or rodents. “These creatures can crawl inside a crack the size of a quarter,” said Adam Daniels, lead technician at the company. “They are very smart animals, so it’s important to close up the entire structure’s openings because if they’ve nested, they know the place has their offspring in it, and they’ll return.” Attic Construction uses professional grade metal screen mesh and sealant — the only material rodents can’t chew through — to treat all entry points. Every gap, crack and crevice is sealed while still allowing for maximum natural airflow.
The cleaning part may consist of pulling contaminated insulation along with vacuuming any rodent droppings and other debris. Their next step is to sanitize the entire attic area insuring any any foulsmelling contaminants homeowners may be breathing are eliminated. “We don’t use anything toxic, so our clients can remain in the home while we’re working,” Daniels said. Company’s co-owners Caine and Sheiner worked for six years in the Bay Area construction industry before opening San Diego Attic Construction in 2013. “Our key feature is that we don’t define ourselves as a pest control company, but we do offer solutions like closing up openings wherever pests can enter,” Caine said. “And while there’s no 100 percent guarantee with rodents, our methods provide a proven solution that an infestation situation won’t happen again.”

Hot sweep for TP Falcons JV football, 21-14, against Steele Canyon Cougars BY WALTER BAYS Torrey Pines opened the 2015 season against the Steele Canyon Cougars. The frosh won 35-0, JV won 21-14, and the sweep was capped by a 28-7 varsity victory. It was a blistering 106 degrees when the JV took the field, and though they couldn’t stop the heat, they did stop the Cougars, who managed just two first downs and a few yards of total offense in the first quarter. With opening game mistakes by both teams, it was the Falcons who capitalized on their opponents’ errors and who caused more errors. Each team took three interceptions, and the Falcons also recovered two fumbles. Pass completions from quarterback Chris Temby to Parker Williams kept the Cougar defense honest, and kept the Falcon running game moving. Gaston Schenk put the Falcons up 7-0 with a 25-yard run. In the 2nd quarter, the Falcons kept trying to capitalize on weak secondary coverage by the Cougars, but came up short on 4th down three times. An interception put the Cougars on the Falcon 15, but Connor Nichols took away a fumble to thwart them. Steele Canyon had their first sustained drive with a mix of runs and screen passes to
tie the game, and then recovered an onside kick on the Falcon 27. But an aggressive Falcon defense made the Cougars’ passing attack risky, and when the receiver couldn’t pull one in — ruled a lateral — Jack Nelson was there to pick it up. After the Falcons failed to move the ball, a booming punt by Tanner Wyandt put it back deep in Cougar territory. In the 4th quarter, Jacob Leone was fouled on a fair catch, setting up the Falcons at the Cougar 30. On the next play, Leone followed blocks, juked and ran 21 yards for first and goal, and then Nelson carried into the end zone: 14-7 Falcons. With 4:45 left in the game, Joe Anthony arrived in the Cougar backfield at the same moment as the handoff forcing 3rd and long. Then Ryan Cesari, who also had a good day on offense, picked off their pass and the Falcons were back on the Cougar 30. It took just one play for the Falcons to strike again on a long run by Leone: 21-7 Falcons. Steele Canyon came back with their most impressive drive on the day, driving 68 yards to come within 7, before time ran out. Final: 21-14 Torrey Pines.

Dr. Loy urges all community members to come out and learn how they can turn around their physical, mental and spiritual health. As part of the program, participants receive a wellness score on important body metrics. Blood work is taken, as are vital signs, height, weight, waist measurement and heart rate. “We really take a look under the hood,â€? Dr. Loy said. “From that score we are working to improve drastically during the eight weeks, and then beyond.â€? Even though the program’s title includes the timeframe of eight weeks, Dr. Loy says people will receive the tools to make lifelong changes. Meditation is also a key aspect of 8WW. “It was my passion to help change people’s lives from the inside out,â€? Dr. Loy said. “I believe this program will be highly successful in helping people achieve these goals. Dr. Loy has room left in the upcoming event, so reach out today. Reserve your seat at the upcoming event by calling (858) 436-7162. “It’s a lifestyle program that really changes behaviors,â€? he said. “We’re focused to improve the health of our community.â€?

Letters to the editor/Opinion New One Paseo: What about affordable Byproduct of stop signs, traffic lights is air housing, emergency response times? What about affordable housing, emergency response times in gridlock and open space? I was pleased to see hundreds of people attend the Aug. 19 Carmel Valley Community Planning Board (CVCPB) Workshop to provide feedback on the preliminary design concepts presented by Kilroy on the “new” One Paseo project, but I still have some lingering questions. I appreciated the comments of CVCPB board member Ken Farinsky, who said he wants to see great architecture, a study analyzing the traffic along Del Mar Heights Road, and a better explanation of how the office, retail and residential uses will flow together with independent stores in the retail space. After reviewing the concepts, here are a few of my concerns. 1. The amount of affordable housing was not mentioned. During the last round of public meetings, many residents commented on the need for more affordable housing so that their children could afford to move back to the community they grew up in. When the San Diego City Council first approved the project, Kilroy agreed to build 10 percent of the units as affordable to all resident groups — a minimum that I think is important. How will One Paseo meet this need? 2. Because they are a key to mitigating traffic impacts on already congested Del Mar Heights Road, the public deserves more information on how both the traffic signal synchronization and the GPS-emergency vehicle pre-emption systems will work, particularly at peak traffic times. Shouldn’t the Fire Department be given Kilroy’s new traffic analysis, time to review it with the proposed pre-emption system, and then asked to give the community assurances of their ability to meet their response standards with the elevated traffic level? 3. The long-term success of the project in delivering the “heart of the community” we were promised will depend on the effective integration of the retail, residential and office uses. The current site plans have them segregated and concentrated in different corners of the site. I agree with many who asked for an actual mix of uses across the site to maximize flow and create a real sense of community. We need to see this in a site plan option. 4. The amount of open space is projected to be about 10 percent in all the concepts that were presented. I think we’d all like to understand how this space will be utilized, and see at least one option of how it could be increased with more stacked parking, or possibly stacked retail, which is common in neighboring communities. While I appreciate Kilroy’s effort to work with the community, there is still a gap that needs to be closed in addressing these important project elements before One Paseo moves forward. Sincerely, Barbara Bry, Candidate for San Diego City Council District 1
pollution, wasted fuel
The intriguing recent article by Logan Jenkins and then the excellent follow-up comments by Dr. Richard Levak both should trigger some thoughtful thinking and planning by Del Mar. The by-product of the stop signs and traffic lights is really serious car pollution that we have now almost every afternoon on Camino Del Mar. That alone gives us a huge reason to get this idea moving. “Vehicles drive much slower than before, but on average they get through faster” — wow! “Roundabouts (are) natural tranquilizers of road rage, are safer, more efficient and infinitely more beautiful ...” At our house, every afternoon, we look down on the stack of cars on Camino Del Mar idling all the way up the hill and slowly passing by our house in the daily parade at two or three miles per hour, belching tons of pollutants. We receive a continuous dusting of brake pad and tire soot from the stop-and-start that seems to permeate everywhere. How much gasoline is wasted and exhausted into our air from this inefficiency? Literally tons of it — daily! You can almost write your name in the soot on the sidewalk. If we are serious about doing our part to soften our footprint on the earth, this is where Del Mar should start. Del Mar likes to consider itself a leader in planning, and this idea is already taking hold around us. Let’s get going on our own planning to consider this excellent win-win idea. Lew Dominy Del Mar
Why is new home building OK, but beach showers are not? Thoughts on improving Del Mar’s DRO
The Del Mar Council has appointed an ad hoc committee to review Del Mar’s Design Review Ordinance (DRO). Anyone building or modifying their residence is aware of the DRO, and there is merit to evaluate where it is effective and also where revisions are necessary. Most residents have full-time jobs and rarely get involved in the inner workings of City Hall. However, once in a while a situation occurs that demands our attention or we will regret that we did not speak up when we had the chance. Such a situation occurred July 27, when numerous residents gathered to protest the way the ad hoc committee was appointed. Ostensibly, the committee was to be made up of members that included a cross-section of Del Mar residents, as well as a few members who had experience relevant to the DRO. This is not what occurred. An overrepresented majority of the appointees are from or support an activist group that has well-known ideas as to what should be approved and not approved in Del Mar. This includes banning approval of basements and outdoor areas that many of us already enjoy. This group’s caustic, divisive and “lawfare” approach on the community was in full display at the DRB meeting Wednesday night. The DRO can be improved, but this ad hoc committee is not the vehicle that can deliver that result. It makes more sense to have the council retain an unbiased consultant, armed with useful feedback from a representative cross-section of residents, local builders and architects, to determine what needs to be improved and best practices that can be borrowed from other cities. In the alternative, it seems obvious that the present ad hoc committee should be dissolved and appointments to the committee be made to ensure all residents of Del Mar have an equal voice in any decisions that are made. It is not too late for the City Council to do what is right for all of Del Mar. Maintaining the current approach will divide the community and empower the mess seen on Aug. 26 at the DRB meeting. Scott Linton, Del Mar Jeff Sturgis, Del Mar
I’ve really had enough with “drought hysteria!” I agree with last week’s letter that it’s embarrassing that beach showers are off for residents and tourists (many who drive directly back to Arizona after a day at our beaches). The still-on showers in Encinitas have water restrictors on them, which allows water to come out for a few seconds, enough for people to rinse off without wasting water. Meanwhile, the city approves massive new home building in Pacific Highlands Ranch, 4S Ranch, major expansion at UTC Mall with yet more crammed-in apartments, One Paseo, the Strawberry Field 85/15 Mall in Carlsbad, and a possible new Charger Stadium, which all use tons of water. Why is out-of-control new growth and cutting down hills all over the city for yet more residents approved, yet decades-old beach showers that use very little water and were there for decades not OK? Whose ridiculous idea was this? And I’m angered that a local news station has a notfunny “ugly lawn contest” encouraging people to let their lawns die completely, which is an egregious neighborhood eyesore and hurts property values. Once your lawn is dead, it will not turn green if it rains this winter. Turn the beach showers back on, get artificial turf, water your real lawn twice per week at night, and stop this nonsense. Get your priorities straight, San Diego and local city officials! Carla Mapes Torrey Hills

Letters to the editor/Opinion Why am I paying double the list price for One Paseo? I went to the dealer today to buy a One Paseo car. Now, other dealers had already offered the latest version of these cars for years — but Kilroy, the manufacturer, had gotten into the business late and was late to market with their One Paseo car. While other dealers and manufacturers were first to market on a very popular product, and could charge list price and then some, Kilroy is late to market with a commodity product. Yet they still want to charge double list price. So I walked away from the deal. Dave Wolfson, Carmel Valley
Giving input on the new city hall design This week’s letter to the editor by Watkins/Leeger criticized the architect’s Design Review Board Draft Preview of the new city hall as boxy wood-and-glass commercial design that is inappropriate as the character of Del Mar, and instead touts the old Normandy style of the old hotel, Stratford Building, library and the many buildings he built in town with that style. They prefer that style — I, for one don’t. Actually, that style was used for the commercial buildings of the time, wasn’t it? It seems to me that sometime during the history of the city, a poll was taken that found most citizens didn’t want that style adopted for the overall style for Del Mar. The style presented by the architects reminds me of the first Del Mar Plaza that occupied the bluff where the current Plaza sits, and was open, friendly and attractive, because it was built with post and beam wood and glass. To me, that is more Del Mar. Our input is wanted — that’s mine — what is yours? Ralph Peck, Del Mar
Root cause of our violence is nihilistic society With regard to the recent murders of television reporters and police officers, I’m reflecting, that as a youth, these incidents were exceedingly rare — yet even as children, there was ample access to firearms. As a doctor who regularly treats trauma patients, the root cause of our violence is abundantly clear. Hence, I take issue with numerous reporters ignoring our progressively nihilistic society, in favor of asking, “What do we do about guns?” If we fail to ask the right questions, we will never find the best answers. The telling question is, “Where are we going as a society?” Our mental health system is failing, our family values are eroding, and our violent entertainment is expanding. This is a terrible trio that devalues the blessing of human life. No law can restore how we, as a society, value human life. We must start focusing on our problems, rather than our tools.

NORTH COAST - SEPTEMBER 3, 2015 - PAGE A27
Education Matters/Opinion: No boundaries for neighborhood school BY MARSHA SUTTON At a board workshop that attracted nearly 200 people on Monday, San Dieguito Union High School District staff was directed by a divided board to make no changes to Marsha Sutton its current high school boundary and enrollment policy. This is a bitter defeat for the communities in Cardiff and Encinitas who desperately wanted the right for their children to have geographic priority to attend San Dieguito Academy, their neighborhood high school. By drawing tight boundaries around SDA, and leaving Canyon Crest Academy’s boundaries alone for the present, since that’s not currently where the problem exists, the district had the chance to satisfy both groups of parents — those in the north who deserve the right to attend their neighborhood school, and those in the south worried about limiting options for access to CCA. But the SDA constituents were denied. After a tedious two-hour presentation by staff that summarized thoroughly but not very succinctly the meetings, surveys, community presentations, legal constraints, history of the district, and boundary options, the public was at last allowed to speak. Twenty-five speaker slips were received, and passions ran high on both sides. Three former SDUHSD board members were present, two of whom — Linda Friedman and Sue Hartley — spoke in favor of making no change. The third former trustee, Dee Rich, was present but did not speak, telling me later that she too did not support any change to the current system. “Choice” seemed to be the operative word: those wanting a small boundary around SDA as well as those advocating for no change used the word to make their respective cases. But choice for some limits choice for others. SDUHSD trustee Joyce Dalessandro said she saw “no evidence presented that’s a compelling enough reason to change the current system,” which she said has been “working almost flawlessly since its inception.” Trustee Amy Herman also supported no change, saying it has worked well over the years. She expressed gratitude to longtime board member Dalessandro for providing history and expertise on the issue. Trustee Mo Muir, who didn’t state a firm position on the question, advocated for parity among the schools “so there’s not a lottery.” Board president Beth Hergesheimer supported the current policy, but said she didn’t see her position as in favor of “no change” because she expected the two boundary schools — La Costa Canyon and Torrey Pines — to make adjustments and modifications to their programs to attract more students and ease demand for the two academies. Only board member John Salazar seemed to sympathize with the neighborhood school advocates, saying, “It makes logical sense to create small
boundaries” around SDA to give priority to those who live nearby. “The current system is broken,” he said. Taking direction from the board (there was no formal vote), SDUHSD Superintendent Rick Schmitt said, “We will carry on as we have for the past 19 years” — with some fine-tuning along the way. And thus concludes that yearlong exercise. Lack of math class for advanced students When I heard that a number of eighth-grade students in the district’s middle schools who are advanced in math had no classes offered at their schools at their level, and were advised to either go to their nearest high school for the appropriate math class or pay to take a class online, I asked the district for an explanation. According to SDUHSD Associate Superintendent of Administrative Services Jason Viloria, the district has five eighth-grade students at Earl Warren, six or seven at Diegueño, six or seven at Oak Crest, two at the newly opened Pacific Trials, and nine at Carmel Valley Middle School, whose schools offer no appropriate option for a math class at their advanced levels. He said it’s not economically possible to offer a math class for such a small number of students at each school. And the district cannot afford to pay their fees for online classes. Combining the 30 students into one large group for a math class in one middle school presents the same transportation obstacles and resistance from parents as sending them to their nearest high school. So the options for the parents of these students are to pay for the online class, drive their eighth-graders to and from their nearest high schools in the middle of the day for their math class, or delay for one year taking math. Viloria said he’s “spent hours and hours” trying to solve this problem, with no success. Late start highs and lows Finally at long last, the overwhelming consensus by respected researchers and experts that early school start times for teens are detrimental to their health and well-being has convinced the district to adjust bell schedules accordingly and provide students with start-time flexibility. At Earl Warren Middle School, the previous school start time of 7:20 a.m. (completely ridiculous) has been moved later one hour, to 8:20 a.m. Students still have the option of taking a zero period that starts at 7:20, but first period for all others now begins at a sane time. There’s only one glitch: The Earl Warren bus schedule is still matched to the zero period schedule. So pick-up is at 6:45, with drop-off at school at 7:05. Viloria said budget constraints dictate a shared bus for Earl Warren and Carmel Valley Middle School. So in the morning, the bus picks up EWMS kids early and the CVMS kids on time. In the afternoon, the kids from EWMS will be picked up on
time and the CVMS kids will need to wait about one hour past the end of school to get picked up by the bus. As one reader wrote to me, “This is crazy.” When the bus schedules don’t support the new bell schedules, it rather defeats the whole purpose of offering a later school start time if kids have to get up and out and be at school over an hour before their first period class. “The bus routes were not able to be changed to have drop-off for all students at all schools at the same time,” Viloria explained, saying there were not enough buses in the fleet. Students riding the a.m. bus to Oak Crest Middle School in Encinitas and Earl Warren in Solana Beach will be dropped off prior to the start of zero period. Those buses then return to run the routes for CVMS and Diegueño Middle School in Encinitas to drop off there in time for first period. In the afternoons, Viloria said, this flips and “the OCMS and EWMS students leave right after the bell rings, whereas the CVMS and DNO students have about a 45 to 50 minute wait for the bus to pick them up.” The district is providing additional staff to supervise students who arrive early or must wait after school for the bus. Viloria said of the approximately 600 Earl Warren students, about 25 percent (125-130) take zero period. But fewer than 30 of those ride the bus to school. Of the 1,350 CVMS students, about 400 are taking zero period, he said. In an effort to support families, Viloria said the district is now offering one-way bus passes, so parents can purchase just a.m. or p.m. passes. This approach has been well-received, he said. Nevertheless, the bus schedule is inconsistent with the implementation of a much-needed later start time, although I suppose parents should be grateful they have the bus option at all. Viloria said the district does not have the money to offer more bus routes, noting that busing continues to encroach on the budget, even after charging for passes. Every year, the school board considers whether to discontinue busing, but has once again decided to offer it for another year. “I think the board is proud of the fact that [the district is] trying to offer busing,” even though it’s a large expense for the district, Viloria said. The idea of flipping the a.m./p.m. schedule every year is being considered, he said. This would give students at the two-year middle schools one year each of alternate arrival and departure times. ***** A final note: Thanks to all the parents and community members who write to me about their concerns. From the trivial to the potentially explosive, all feedback is always welcome and enlightening. Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.

Gimme Da Lute winner of $100K El Cajon Stakes at Del Mar track BY KELLEY CARLSON Part-time Del Mar resident Mike Pegram had reason to celebrate on Saturday afternoon when his horse, Gimme Da Lute, survived a three-way battle down the stretch and won the $100,000 El Cajon Stakes at Del Mar by a half-length. Gimme Da Lute’s stablemate, Fame and Power, came in second, while Desert Dynamo was a neck behind in third. Three-year-old Gimme Da Lute completed the mile on the main track in 1:35.79. The bay colt is owned and bred by Pegram, Karl Watson and Paul Weitman, and trained by Bob Baffert. Baffert was absent from the winner’s circle ceremony, as he was in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., to saddle Triple Crown winner American Pharoah in the Grade I, $1.6 million Travers Stakes at Saratoga racetrack. American Pharoah lost for the first time since his first race at Del Mar in August 2014, finishing second to Keen Ice. The champion returned to the seaside oval this week. Meanwhile, Stellar Wind won the only graded Del Mar race held in the past week, the Grade III, $100,000 Torrey Pines Stakes. Minor stakes winners were Point Piper ($86,880 Harry F. Brubaker Stakes) and Patriotic Diamond ($150,000 Generous Portion Stakes).

novation centers at all sites ($3.8 million), creating modern learning studios at all sites ($12 million) and replacing 25-year-old portables with permanent classroom buildings at Carmel Del Mar, Del Mar Hills and Del Mar Heights ($13 million). In May, the board asked staff to come back with some options on how to meet their facilities funding shortfall. Cathy Birks, assistant superintendent of business services, discussed the funding sources of DMUSD’s Community Facilities Districts (CFD), in which special taxes are placed on homeowners’ property tax bills to fund schools and improvements. The district’s CFD 95-1 includes the Torrey Hills and Ocean Air communities, and CFD 99-1 covers Sycamore Ridge and the district’s future ninth school, if needed. Another possible funding option is the state’s School Facility Program, which provides grants for school districts to construct new facilities or modernize existing ones. Birks said the bond authority for the program has been virtually exhausted — about $149 million remains statewide. The district would be eligible for about $1.9 million in modernization funds for Carmel Del Mar and $1.3 million for new construction at Del Mar Hills, Del Mar Heights and Sage Canyon. The board was most interested in the potential funding impact of a general obligation bond or SFID. Birks said state law allows school districts to create SFIDs that carve out a specified portion of their territory, where only those voters residing within the SFID would vote on the general obligation bond. Projects funded by a SFID must be located within its boundaries. Birks said the district could form a SFID to include Del Mar Hills, Del Mar Heights, Carmel Del Mar and Ashley Falls. Trustee Scott Wooden said with any option, he wants to understand what the tax burden will be for the constituents. The district’s last attempt at a general obligation bond, Prop CC in 2012, was for $76.8 million, which would cost taxpayers an average of $65 a year. With a 55 percent approval rate required to pass the bond, it received 53.7 percent of the vote. Wooden said there was some criticism of the district in 2012 because they went out for a bond before a facilities master plan was in place. “$126 million is a big wish list and I don’t see us doing anything close to $126 million. I would like to get a really prioritized list … what do we think we really need to have,” Wooden said. Superintendent Holly McClurg said she would avoid using the word “wish list,” as items wouldn’t be in the facilities master plan if they weren’t deemed important. She said all of the items in the plan are considered essential. President Doug Rafner said as the district decides what option to take, he would like to engage the district stakeholders, and find out how closely they want the district to stick to the master plan. Rafner said they have done well with what they have, such as spending reserves this year to partly modernize Carmel Del Mar, but they may have stretched as far as they can. “If the community wants us to fufill our facilities master plan and make dreams come to light, they need to energize us and let us know,” Rafner said.
later, regular-start-time students who need to provide their own transportation. Earl Warren students are picked up at 6:45 a.m. and dropped off at 7:05 a.m. for the 8:20 a.m. start time. Bartsch said having to wake up early to take the bus defeats the purpose of the later start time for students. Additionally, students will have to wait around for school to start for more than an hour in the library, which requires district staff for supervision. In the afternoon, the kids from Earl Warren will be picked up on time, but the Carmel Valley kids will have to wait an hour past the end of school to be picked up to go home. Bartsch said it’s safer and better for the environment for more students to take a bus than ride with their parents, but because of the “crazy” scheduling, many parents are upset and organizing private carpools. As a result, Bartsch said, there will be more cars at pick-up and drop-off, and the district will see a drop in bus ridership. District officials have acknowledged that the schedule is beyond their control, and they

intendent Rick Schmitt said that buses can only run once and not at multiple times because they don’t have the fleet or staff. Schmitt said with the different start times, they are trying to offer an element of choice and families will have to choose whether their priority is a later start or transportation. For the first time, the district is selling one-way bus passes, so he noted there are some family-friendly options to consider for busing. Earlier in the year, the district was considering eliminating all middle school bus service because of the high cost and declining ridership. The district gathered feedback from parents through an online survey, and Trustee Joyce Dalessandro said the board stood firm in retaining it, even though it is expensive and the district no longer gets transportation funding from the state. “To increase our bus fleet or to run a couple times is absolutely not feasible with the funds that we get for education,” Dalessandro said.

munity, the charm, the small village atmosphere. I think it’s important that we preserve that.” Leeger agreed, echoing her father’s comments and pointing to other details of the design. She said the proposed plaza would be too small for community events, such as the farmers market, particularly after the site is further developed. She also suggested “better permeable material choices” for the surface of the plaza, rather than the proposed decomposed granite. And she noted that while the design team stated the project would complement other buildings in the community, the current designs do not. “None of what I’ve seen is unfixable,” she said. “We look forward to a second go-around from the architects with these community concerns in mind.” “It’s not what a lot of folks thought it would be,” agreed resident Greg Rothman. “I encourage the architect to go back and look at those examples.” Another local resident and architect, however, said that the project should not replicate other buildings in the community. “I feel that, yes, we have to respect our past and respect Del Mar for what it is, but I would not want to copy it. I would not want to repeat it,” Dean Meredith said. “I believe the new architecture that’s going to be created here needs to blend old with new. We need to be progressive and show that to the community, show that to the West Coast.” “We are all drawn to the charm and small-town feel, yet we live in a sophisticated, desirable part of Southern California, and I believe we can achieve that balance without frowning upon progress, which is inevitable, and I believe should happen to sustain Del Mar,” agreed his wife, Monica Meredith. Some residents expressed concerns about traffic, parking and privacy. Board member Rick Ehrenfeld, who lives next to the site and recused himself from the issue, addressed the board as a private citizen. “I’ve had a perfect neighbor for the last 30 years,” he said. “This TV station, it’s not beautiful, but it’s a big wall that gives me privacy.” Now that the site plan has the parking near his property, Ehrenfeld said he is concerned about air, light and sound pollution. He suggested the west-facing side of the structure, which appears open, be enclosed or a
wall be built to preserve privacy. While in favor of most of the plans, Suren Dutia, a homeowner whose property is located across from the site, said he is concerned about parking. “I know that this is a major traffic artery,” said Dutia, who has lived in the community for about 25 years. He believes that the proposed parking scheme would increase traffic and potentially increase accidents. “I’ve seen enough pretty close calls,” he said. Resident Ivan Gayler agreed. “Circulation on and off site is really, really important here,” said Gayler, who has also had a career as a local developer. “If we want this end of town to work, we need to get traffic onto the site and off the site, back across the street over to the other uses. That connection needs to be studied and planned for very carefully, I think.” The plans propose traffic entering the parking structure through a one-way opening off 10th Street. The traffic would exit onto 11th Street. Traffic engineers are reviewing the plans, with their report expected mid-September, Jobes said. After hearing the public’s comments, board members shared their thoughts. “To me, it looks very industrial,” said board member Bill Michalsky, who suggested the architect revisit the flat building roofs. “All we’re seeing today is a couple boxes, a couple big rectangles.” “This is a tough challenge,” he added about the overall aesthetics. “I agree that Del Mar’s got a lot of interesting style. I’m not thinking we should mimic the hotel or other buildings, but I think this just needs some softening. It’s somewhat cold to me — the appearance of the structure.” He also agreed the architect needs to adjust the parking and consider potential impacts to the local neighborhood. “I think this is a good starting point,” he said. “I think it’s quite challenging for the architects to deliver everything for all of us.” The Design Review Board did not take any formal action at the meeting, as it was intended to gather feedback from board and community members. The board is expected to formally consider the project at a later date, tentatively scheduled for the Nov. 18 meeting.

all, and I want to move forward with dedicating our efforts to program enhancements and move away from changing the enrollment model to satisfy the few,” she said. Trustees had dealt with the issue of school choice as parents themselves. Trustee Amy Herman’s children went to Torrey Pines and CCA to meet their different needs. President Beth Hergesheimer said her son went to La Costa Canyon, but did struggle with not being able to take as many courses as SDHSA students could. “My direction is to go with option two, which I do not see as ‘no change.’ I see it as an opportunity to move forward on solving a lot of the problems we’ve been working on for a while.” Throughout the process, Associate Superintendent Michael Grove said that they’ve learned that program equity between all four high schools is crucial, regardless of the enrollment policy. “If we don’t create a system where the student can feel their choices are equitable, we’re going to continue to have excess demand for certain schools,” Grove said. Superintendent Rick Schmitt said the district would continue to work on equity and “fine tune” their school programs in “very smart and collaborative ways.” “We have to create parity so that there’s not a lottery,” trustee Mo Muir said. The fresh look at the enrollment process was triggered by Cardiff and Encinitas residents last year, after 65 students were initially not accepted into San Dieguito despite living within walking distance of the school. The district was able to find room for all waitlisted freshmen in 2014, including an additional 125 waitlisted students at CCA. All students were admitted to their school of choice this spring for the 2015 school year. Cardiff and Encinitas parents like Danica Edelbrock and Sarah Gardner have been circulating petitions, rallying in front of San Dieguito and raising awareness about a school choice system they believe is unfair, in which children can be displaced from attending their neighborhood school. “The decision to do nothing and make no change would be a decision to sustain an unfair system,”
NORTH COAST - SEPTEMBER 3, 2015 - PAGE A29
Gardner told the board. “Make the option primarily for residents who live within the city of Encinitas to attend their local school by default of local residency status,” said Judith Bumann. “I want the right for my kid to go to school around the corner.” Her daughter will be a fifth-generation SDHSA student. The crowd had dwindled some by the time the board made its direction to the superintendent, but most of the 21 speakers favored keeping the school-ofchoice enrollment process. “The character of all the schools is different, and that’s a wonderful thing and a strength of the district,” said Carmel Valley resident Cynthia Rajsbaum. “Choice is paramount in my opinion,” said parent Mark Caton. “It makes for better schools and happier students … Choice creates a sense of pride. Why change something that is so extraordinarily good?” The district’s open enrollment method began in 1996 after La Costa Canyon was built, with the intent of creating a balance of diversity between San Dieguito and LCC. In 2004, when the district opened Canyon Crest Academy, the district decided to duplicate the success it had in the north. “I think there’s value in demographic diversity in our schools,” Grove said. “Total capacity is not an issue. It’s about balancing capacity.” If more students opt to attend a school than it can hold, the district conducts a random lottery. State law doesn’t allow geographic proximity as a priority in a lottery. Over the past eight years, an average of 99 percent of students have been admitted to their choice school of San Dieguito. At CCA, the average was 94 percent over eight years with 137 students not accepted to their choice school in the 2013-14 school year. In a survey of 500 eighth-graders, they listed athletics, academics and school culture as their top reasons for choosing La Costa Canyon and Torrey Pines. For the academies, the bell schedule was the top reason students opted for the school, followed by school culture and academic reputation. Art was the last reason students selected TPHS or LCC, and athletics was the last reason students selected SDHSA and CCA. Parents surveyed said academics and school culture were the top two rea-
sons behind choosing a school. Of the three options the board was considering, 45 percent of parents said they most preferred the mix of boundary and open enrollment method, while 35 percent preferred the small attendance areas around the academies. When asked what the least desired outcome would be, 54 percent of parents surveyed said drawing boundaries for all schools. Several CCA parents and teachers spoke of the school’s unique character and what would be “dismantled” if the enrollment method were changed. CCA teacher Christopher Black said the students’ ability to self-select their school is invaluable, because students truly want to be there — the fact that they attend a school because they picked it resonates with them, not because they live on a particular street. Rancho Santa Fe and Solana Beach parents Marti Ritto and Lynne Austin noted that students in their communities don’t have a neighborhood high school. Under the current system, students get the opportunity to select which school will best fit their needs. “Every child is an individual, and the choices in the schools are extremely important. We don’t have a school we can walk across the street to,” Austin said. Former San Dieguito board members Linda Friedman and Sue Hartley both spoke against tampering with the “wonderful” system they helped set in place that has become the envy of districts statewide and across the country. Cardiff parent Destiny Irons questioned the solution of maintaining the status quo when the trends show that more students are selecting academies, and there might not always be room for all to attend their school of choice. “The problem is not going away,” Irons said. She said drawing boundaries is hard work, but work the district needs to do to avoid more problems in the future. Trustee John Salazar said he supported the option of boundaries — around just the academies or around all four schools. “It makes perfect sense that those that live around that school should have the first option to attend that school,” Salazar said. “I think the current system is broken … It makes logical sense to have small boundaries around the four schools.”

A Fresh Look on Finances with Aubrey Morrow CFP®
Strategies for a Secured Retirement Income You have saved for many years and now looking forward to a great retirement. We financial planners constantly talk about the need to save for retirement. Max out all available retirement account & invest personally, and one day, when you are ready to retire, that portfolio will become income for you. Some pre-retirement points to consider: 1. What are your expenses today? How much money will you need in retirement each month to cover your essential expenses, and to also cover the fun things that you’d like to do in those golden years? Tracking this spending for the first few years of retirement is critical since expenses can run higher than expected. 2. Determine how much income you will need from your investments. The amount is your total estimated expenses minus your Social Security, pensions or real estate income. Once you know how much you need each year, you can then begin to formulate a distribution income strategy. 3. Review all your investment income opportunities. What investments can be rearranged to produce income? Choices like when to start taking Social Security can cut your retirement income by 25% or boost it by an additional 32%. Don’t take Social Security early – unless you need the income. It grows at an 8% guaranteed amount – so, delay to age 70 if possible. Married couples can also use strategies like claiming spousal benefits to increase income substantially. Do you own investment real estate? Tired of property management and tenants? Explore all the options of keeping your property, selling and paying taxes, charitable gifting for income and tax benefits or some form of a tax-deferred 1031 exchange. 4. Decide how much risk you are comfortable with. Your level of comfort with risk determines how you allocate your investment portfolio. In retirement, people usually don’t want much risk. Yet the reality is that for a 30-to-40-year retirement with inflating expenses every year, some allocation to growth assets is helpful if not necessary. 5. Identify how much you want to leave to your heirs. For some people, this is a top priority; for others, they want to spend as much as possible while they can. If you plan to leave behind a substantial inheritance, just be aware that it might place limitations on your income. These are the five simple but important steps that decide your ability to live the life you want in retirement.

COMMITTEE
continued from page 1
were three areas that registered the most complaints: roadway maintenance, communication, and the development and design review process. Acknowledging the community’s concerns, the council in May further opened the review process to the public and established a citizens’ advisory committee. The council made its appointments in June. The committee consists of: five residents familiar with the city’s design review process and land use regulations; a former Design Review Board member; a former Planning Commission member; a Del Mar property owner who recently processed a design review application, including a Citizens Participation Program; and a professional architect or land use planner who recently represented an applicant through the design review and CPP processes. The members are Nancy Doyle, Anne Farrell, Harold Feder, John Giebink, John Graybill, Richard Jamison, Kelly Kaplan, Dean Meredith and Art Olson. “I wanted to participate in the examination of the DRB process, and hopefully, improve it,” said Feder, who serves as the committee’s chair. “It’s important to everybody in Del Mar. It’s an issue that affects everybody in Del Mar.” The committee is tasked with identifying 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. “I think it’s high time that we review and update it,” said Dolores Davies, a 26-year Del Mar resident whose husband, Jamison, is a committee member. “I’ve heard a lot of people say, regardless of what perspective they have, that the process is vague and subjective. The better we can define some of these things and make the process more transparent and less opaque — everybody will feel better about it.” Residents want to minimize the subjectivity in the discretionary design review process, which is already a divisive issue. Some residents want the design review ordinance to be more restrictive; others want the rules to be more relaxed. “I was on the board when we started to see this uptick in development,” explained Kaplan, who served on the Design Review Board for more than five years and was board chair in her last year. “As the economy has improved, certainly the number of projects and the size of the projects have increased,” which she said, has precipitated matters. About five months ago, Kaplan said she was approached by a group of neighbors, asking whether she would like to attend informal meetings to discuss the issue. Kaplan declined, and the group, which calls itself “Preserve Del Mar,” proceeded to share its concerns with council members. Dissatisfied with the process, they favor clearer guidelines that protect the rights of neighbors. “Some people are assuming that because we’re residents — most of us are residents who have been pushing for this to happen — that we just want to shut down development, that we want to make it even more difficult than they already think it is,” Davies said. “I think this could actually be good for everybody. An architect would hopefully have a lot more information, visuals and feedback to give to a client.” Former Mayor Dave Druker agreed that changes need to made to the process, and perhaps, to the design review ordinance. “We need to provide a means for the Design Review Board to ensure that new designs are compatible with the community as a whole, not just the neighborhood,” said Druker, who has lived in Del Mar for nearly 30 years. “Slowly, a lot of the houses in Del Mar that are being built seem to be oversized and out of character with the rest of the houses in the community,” he added. On the other side of the issue, another group called “Moving Del Mar Forward” has since formed. Also dissatisfied with the process, they favor clearer guidelines that protect the rights of property owners. “I think the DRO, the design review ordinance, is a key ordinance for Del Mar,” said Greg Rothnem, who has lived in Del Mar for more than four years. “It effectively shapes what Del Mar’s going to look like.” Recognizing that neighbors are divided, Rothnem said that the ordinance needs to be reviewed. “The committee needs to determine if there is a problem with the DRO,” he said. “If there is, in fact, a problem, then come up with some solutions.” 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 Councilman Don 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.” “The motion was only to create the committee. It did not direct that interviews be done,” Councilman Dwight Worden said. “So the minutes and the actual motion from the videotape are inconsistent.” Furthermore, Andrew Potter, the city’s administrative ser-
vices director, sent a message to committee applicants, recommending that they attend the June 15 meeting and be prepared to be interviewed, Worden said. Because of the email and the meeting minutes, most of the 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, 25 community members concerned about the selection process submitted speaker slips on the topic the next month during the July 6 council meeting, with 14 members of the public choosing to talk. Although the speakers asked the council to rescind its appointments, the council stood by its decisions. After the meeting, on July 14, residents upset with the process 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, said Rothnem, adding that an additional 19 signatures in support of the letter were submitted two days later. “Everybody thought interviews would happen, because that’s the well-established procedure in Del Mar,” said Rothnem, who applied to the committee but wasn’t appointed. “There were a number of people who the City Council really did not know,” he added. “These were people who stepped up and said, ‘I want to be a part of this.’ I think it was a travesty they didn’t get to know those people and understand their perspective.” Others, however, point out that it is not the council’s practice to interview people for such appointments. Druker, who served on the council from 1996 to 2008, said the council he sat on changed the way committee members were selected. “It used to be that we would interview any people for an ad-hoc or a standing committee,” he explained. “DRB members and planning commissioners were interviewed in front of the camera. Everybody else was interviewed off camera.” Around 1997 or 1998, however, he said the council decided that the council liaisons would make recommendations for committees, excluding the Design Review Board and Planning Commission. Applicants to the Design Review Board and Planning Commission are still interviewed. “The precedent has consistently been not to interview people,” Druker said. City staff were contacted to confirm the history of the committee selection process, but they could not be reached for comment. According to the city’s published standard operating principles for advisory committees and boards, all Del Mar advisory committees and boards will consist of voting members selected by a council majority. Committee members and board members also must be Del Mar residents, unless otherwise specified. In addition, two council members, as appointed by a council majority, will act as liaisons to the advisory committees and boards. The standard operating principles, however, do not address whether or not applicants are to be interviewed. “The written policy guidelines on advisory committees are silent,” Worden said. “They don’t say anything about interviews or no interviews. “The council’s past practice originally was to do interviews,” he added. “Six or eight years ago — or even longer ago — the council decided to stop doing interviews, finding that they weren’t that helpful. At that time, they decided that they would only do interviews for the Design Review Board and Planning Commission — the two main standing committees.” But because of the concerns from some about the committee selection process, some council members expected the issue to be on the July 20 agenda. It was not. “I think it was important to put it on the agenda because 120-some people signed a written request that this topic be on the agenda,” Worden said. “Frankly, I was quite upset at our staff, having received that request from more than 120 people, that they didn’t put it on the agenda.” 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 on Sept. 8. At that time, the council will consider whether to change the committee makeup or to augment the committee membership. “For me, it was appropriate to apologize,” said Worden, who serves as a liaison to the committee, along with Mosier. Mosier could not be reached for comment. “We mishandled that,” Worden added. “We gave mixed signals, and I can understand how people got confused.” Kaplan was one of the nine people appointed to the committee. Because she had just served on the Design Review Board, she didn’t expect to be interviewed. However, she was under the impression that other applicants would be interviewed. “This is an important issue,” Kaplan said. “We need to have voices from all perspectives represented here. “I’m really the only person on that committee that truly is objective,” she said, noting that she believes all the other committee members have been part of the group Preserve Del Mar. “This was alarming to me, and it was alarming to me more that council voted the way they did.” In the second round of votes, with three votes from Mosier, Worden and Councilwoman Sherryl Parks, the council selected Farrell as the former Design Review Board member. As the only applicant who previously served on the Plan-
ning Commission, John Giebink was unanimously selected to the committee. In the second round of votes, with three votes from Mosier, Worden and Parks, the council selected Doyle as the former applicant. With votes from everyone but Mayor Al Corti, the council selected Meredith as the professional architect. Finally, in one round, the council selected five citizens-atlarge. Feder, Graybill and Jamison received four votes from Councilman Terry Sinnott, Mosier, Parks and Worden. Kaplan received three votes from Corti, Mosier and Sinnott. Olson received three votes from Mosier, Parks and Worden. Although Worden said he attended the meeting prepared to interview the applicants, the council did not conduct any interviews. Still, he said he “didn’t feel rushed or hurried.” “I had plenty of time to do my homework to investigate all 28 applicants and check up on them, which I did,” he said. “I came in fully ready to vote for my selections, and if they didn’t make it, vote second or third choices down the line.” T. Pat Stubbs, who sat on the Design Review Board for more than eight years, said he thought all of the candidates should have been interviewed to “get a fair shot.” “I was very distressed that we’ve gone to a backroompolitics situation, where a majority of the City Council — without even interviewing the applicants — all voted in a bloc,” said Stubbs, who has lived in Del Mar since 1996. 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 inviting to the public. The second meeting on July 21 started at 6 p.m. and featured a workshop-style format. Meetings since then — on Aug. 4, Aug. 18 and Sept. 1 — have all started at 6 p.m. at the City Hall Annex. “The meetings, I think, have gone pretty well,” Feder said. “They’ve been completely open to the public. They’ve been really transparent. Everybody on the committee, and the people who attend the meetings who aren’t on the committee, have had the opportunity to participate in them.” People on both sides of the issue, as well as council members who aren’t liaisons, have reportedly attended the meetings, which typically last about 90 minutes. “My take is, anybody who doesn’t have a huge axe to grind, who’s actually attended the meetings, would have to conclude they’ve been great,” Worden said. “They haven’t been biased or any of the things that people seem worried about.” Longtime Del Mar resident Bud Emerson said it is a “good group.” “I have a feeling they’re going to come up with some good stuff — I hope they do,” Emerson said. “But it’s not as though anything has been given away. This group has been given no power. “It will all be completely transparent,” he added. “Everybody gets to chew on it. No decisions will be made without a majority of the City Council approving it.” At the committee’s latest meeting on Sept. 1, members of the public were given an opportunity to speak on non-action items during the oral communications portion at the start of the meeting. Later, when Feder initially refused to hear one speaker’s comments regarding an agenda item, Planning Manager Adam Birnbaum reminded him that it is common practice for committees to welcome public comments on each item. “You go through the agenda, and when you get to an agenda item, you open it up for comment on that agenda item,” Birnbaum said. “That’s the customary practice.” “Given the circumstances of the controversy of this committee, I think, the better we can keep the workshop format, the better it is for all of us,” Graybill agreed. The committee approved a work plan that was written by Feder and Jamison, the committee’s vice chair. An alternative plan was also submitted by Kaplan. Feder and Jamison’s plan, which outlined the committee’s mission, goals, timeline, approach and work program, was approved in a 6-1 vote, with Doyle voting against the plan and Kaplan and Meredith absent from the meeting. The committee also established five subcommittees that will research and report back on the DRO, CPP, related development ordinances, zoning ordinances and design review board practices in other jurisdictions. In addition, the committee discussed scheduling future meetings with the full Design Review Board, city staff, architects and builders, and members of the general public. After one resident shared related documents from the city of Santa Barbara and encouraged the committee to review the design guidelines and look to other jurisdictions for ideas, Graybill noted that everyone shares a “common pursuit” in improving the system. “I want to figure out how we can get neighbors to come together and solve these problems without the animosity,” he said. The committee meets on the first and third Tuesday of each month at 6 p.m. in the City Hall Annex. The next meeting is scheduled for 6 p.m. on Sept. 15. Meeting agendas and minutes are available on the city’s website at www.delmar.ca.us/507/Ad-Hoc-Development-Review-Process-Adviso.

Sage Garden Project sows healthy habits with grants to SB schools BY KRISTINA HOUCK Solana Beach students are learning how to live healthier lives, thanks to the Sage Garden Project. The charitable foundation recently awarded more than $350,000 to California schools, including a $10,700 donation to Skyline Elementary School and a $10,000 donation to Solana Vista Elementary School, for garden and nutritional science programs. “Cooking skills and understanding what we’re eating have fallen by the wayside,” said Dawn Mayeda, program director for the Sage Garden Project. “Kids are so receptive to it once you allow them to be.” Based in Encinitas, the Sage Garden Project offers handson gardening and nutritional science programs for students in kindergarten through sixth grade. As one program of The Anthony Cerami and Ann Dunne Foundation for World Health, the Sage Garden Project aims to reduce obesity and Type 2 diabetes in youth by providing the tools and inspiration for a lifetime of health. The foundation launched a pilot program at Ocean Knoll Elementary in Encinitas four years ago, planting a garden, providing a cooking cart and funding an instructor as part of the curriculum. As the program proved successful, the foundation began working with other local schools. The Sage Garden Project has partnered with the Solana Beach School District for the past three years, providing Can’t beet this: Skyline student harvests a large beet funding for instructors at both Skyline and Solana Vista.

Donavon Frankenreiter eager to share ‘Heart’ with Kaaboo festivalgoers BY KRISTINA HOUCK Surfer-turned-singer-songwriter Donavon Frankenreiter will be singing straight from the heart when he shares songs from his new album during the inaugural Kaaboo, a threeday music festival in September at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. “The Heart,” was released Aug. 7. “It should be an amazing three days,” Frankenreiter said of the festival. “Just to be a part of that — it’s awesome.” A Southern California native, Frankenreiter got his start in surfing as a teenager on the beaches of San Clemente. He was 10 years old when he first learned to surf and became a professional in the sport at 16. From waiting for the right wave to waiting for the right deal, Frankenreiter started a career in music more than a decade ago. “I picked up the guitar and was able to bring it everywhere with me,” said Frankenreiter, who has traveled the world as a surfer. Although he has played music since he was 15, he didn’t land his first record deal until he was 30 years old. His debut self-titled album was released in 2004 on close friend Jack Johnson’s Brushfire Records through Universal Music. “I toured and opened up for Jack for a few years,” said Frankenreiter, a married father of two. “That’s how it all

started.” Now, 42, Frankenreiter recently released “The Heart,” with songs he described as “seriously sentimental.” The album marks his second decade as a solo recording artist. He’s released eight full-length albums since the start of his career. He’s also recorded EPs and live albums. “It’s the most intimate and honest record that I’ve made,” said Frankenreiter, who shares writing credits on many of the songs with lyricist Grant-Lee Phillips. “They’re real personal songs.” Based in Hawaii, Frankenreiter recorded the 11-track album in 10 days in May at Blue Rock Studios in Wimberley, Texas. He described the experience at the site, tucked away from the city and among the canyons, as “magical.” “We did about a song a day,” said Frankenreiter, who noted that the sessions streamed live on the Internet. “It was a lot of fun. I love recording like that. You don’t sit around and think about them too long.” Frankenreiter will share some of his new tunes as well as fan favorites at the upcoming Kaaboo. Although this is his first time performing at the fairgrounds, it isn’t his first time taking the stage locally. He’s frequented the Belly Up Tavern and local events, such as Fiesta del Sol in Solana Beach. “I love that area,” Frankenreiter said. “We have a really good time in that area, so it’s a special place.” Frankenreiter hits the stage on Sept. 20, the final day of the festival. “It’s going to be amazing,” he said. “It’s an incredible lineup. I’m thrilled!” For more about Frankenreiter, visit www.donavonf.com.

‘Sherlock Holmes,’ French farce among works featured in NC Rep’s new season
La Jolla Cultural Partners
In choosing the roster for North Coast Repertory Theatre’s Season 34, artistic director David Ellenstein said plays were picked that celebrate the joy, pathos and resiliency of the human spirit. “We chose works that we believe not only reflect the tastes of our loyal subscribers, but will also appeal to a wide spectrum of theater-lovers throughout the county,” he said. The intimate theater is poised to present a mix of West Coast premieres “including comic gems, absorbing dramas and a delightful musical.” The season opens Sept. 9 with Ken Ludwig’s “The Fox on the Fairway.” Matthew Wiener directs the laugh fest, which plays through Oct. 4. Tony Award-winning actress Judith Ivey directs the West Coast premiere of “Chapatti” by Christian O’Reilly, Oct. 21-Nov. 15. Two lonely animal lovers in Dublin cross paths, and an unexpected spark begins as they re-discover the importance of human companionship. This heartwarming second-chance comedy celebrates unforgettable characters who still believe in love. “Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Great Nome Gold Rush,” kicks off the New Year. Ellenstein directs the World premiere, Jan. 13-Feb. 7, 2016. The world’s greatest sleuth will stop at nothing to prove a client innocent of murder, even if it means traveling to the Wild West frontier town of Nome, Alaska, and ending up at a bar run by Wyatt Earp. This wild and woolly adventure is full of intrigue, mystery, deception and duplicity. “Now You See It” plays Feb. 24-March 20, 2016. It’s the West Coast premiere of a farce by the French master George Feydeau, in a brilliant translation by British playwright Kenneth McLeish and directed by Bruce Turk. Audiences witness a dizzying escapade fueled by jealousy bordering on paranoia, a philandering husband, hypnotism, a spurned lover and a scandalous discovery. The third West Coast premiere, “Way Downriver: William Faulkner’s ‘Old Man’” debuts April 13-May 8, 2016
with Ellenstein at the helm. A flood of Biblical proportions on the mighty Mississippi provides the dramatic backdrop to this edge-ofyour seat adventure. It reveals an unlikely pair of souls who are bound together by the forces of nature, and who struggle to overcome their fears and prejudice in order to survive their harrowing experiences. “Hedda Gabler,” arguably one of the most com-
plex and intriguing female characters ever written, will have its world premiere adaptation, created by the company at North Coast Rep, translated by AnneCharlotte Harvey and directed by Ellenstein. It’s a mesmerizing tale of a woman trapped in a loveless marriage and driven by a need for power and freedom, June 1-June 26, 2016. Season 34 concludes with “Ain’t Misbehavin’” July 13-Aug. 7, 2016, directed by Obie Award winner Yvette Freeman. Based on the signature Fats Waller song, this rousing musical revue takes audiences back to the glory days of the Harlem Renaissance when the Cotton Club and Savoy Ballroom served as playgrounds for high society. The holiday show will be the return engagement of “This Wonderful Life” by Steve Murray and starring James Leaming, Dec. 8-27. North Coast Repertory Theatre is at 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Tickets: 858-481-1055 or northcoastrep.org.

LJ Playhouse to premiere ‘Blueprints to Freedom,’ about civil rights figure BY DIANA SAENGER Last year’s “Selma” — an Oscar nomination for Best Film — brought the unresolved issue of freedom back to the forefront for new generations. Theatergoers are in for a similar reawakening when the world premiere of “Blueprints to Freedom: An Ode to Bayard Rustin,” debuts at La Jolla Playhouse, Sept. 8-Oct. 4. The script comes from Michael Benjamin Washington. Lucie Tiberghien directs the production. African-American Bayard Rustin — an openly gay man born a Quaker — was a civil rights activist who early in his life became a conscientious objector during World War II. He spent a few years in jail, and while there, tried to racially integrate the prison system. “Blueprints” begins in 1963, where Rustin is a proponent of nonviolent civil disobedience. In the South, the issue has fostered a radical state of violence and danger. Rustin is assigned to organize a march for jobs and freedom. However, he becomes exiled from the civil rights movement and struggles with his last chance for professional re-establishment and spiritual redemption. Tiberghien, who directed the Playhouse’s acclaimed production of the Afghan war-centered “Blood and Gifts” in 2012, as well as the DNA New Work Series readings of “Tranquil” and “Being Henrietta,” replaced director/actor Phylicia Rashad, who left the production citing scheduling conflicts. Tiberghien said she decided to become a director after watching directors at a dance school she attended in Geneva, Switzerland.
She adds this production to her lengthy resume and said she became intrigued by Rustin’s story when she saw the PBS documentary “Brother Outsider: The Life of Bayard Rustin.” “I was interested in Bayard’s life, contributions and personal and political story,” Tiberghien said. “He worked closely with Martin Luther King and was the main architect of the March on Washington in 1963. That’s the event this play is centered on. Bayard traveled to India, and after Gandhi was assassinated, he studied nonviolence. He encouraged Martin Luther King to embrace the ideas of passive resistance and nonviolence as a way to make change.” Washington wrote the play and also stars as Rustin. Tiberghien acknowledged his challenge. “It’s hard to be inside and out at the same time,” she said. “He’s doing an incredible job and is a wonderful actor. He has to step outside and look at the play objectively, and then step inside and look into the eyes of the main character. For me, to help guide that process is very interesting.” Tiberghien said the creative team (Neil Patel, scenic design; Beth Goldenberg, costume design; Lap Chi Chu, lighting design; Joe Huppert, sound design; John Narun, projection design; Gabriel Greene, dramaturge, and Peter Van Dyke, stage manager) is essential in this type of production. “Michael’s writing is really strong and he has a clear sense of visuals, so he has written in a lot of visual projection into this project,” she said. “The work of the production designer, as well as the other designers, is key in making this historical event a theatrical piece. The march itself is an exciting

There’s a scene with Rustin and King that reveals who they are behind closed doors. “I was also intrigued that Michael, with great insight, wrote a female character who is passionate and very active politically and socially.” “Blueprints to Freedom: An Ode to Bayard Rustin,” is a co-production with Kansas City Repertory Theatre. Of the production, Playhouse artistic director Christopher Ashley has said, “With victories and setbacks to the cause of equality in the news every day, the ideas and themes of ‘Blueprints to Freedom’ call out urgently to us. We’re proud to welcome this dynamic and talented cast and creative team to illuminate Bayard Rustin’s quest for identity and redemption.” “Blueprints to Freedom: An Ode to Bayard Rustin,” runs Sept. 8-Oct. 4 in the Potiker Theatre at La Jolla Playhouse, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive on the UCSD campus.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS SD-based Moms Making Six Figures ‘provides flexibility for your life’ With school now back in session, the moms of Moms Making Six Figures are ready for another year of activities, from ball games to field trips. “I always say that I’m not a stay-at-home mom because I still work, but I’m an available mom,” said Jennifer Becker, mother of two girls, now 4 and 6 years old. “I can work, yet I can still do all the things that stay-at-home moms get to do.” After a 15-year corporate career, Becker began a new career with Moms Making Six Figures, a San Diegobased marketing company that allows women to stay at home and either replace or supplement their income. Having been a part of the company for nearly two years, Becker’s thankful she left the corporate world behind. Moms Making Six Figures offers her the flexibility she needed as a mom with- “I can work, yet I can still do all the things that stay-atout sacrificing a six-figure in- home moms get to do,” says Jennifer Becker, shown here with her daughters.

Throughout the sum“I like working with other businessmer, for example, Becker worked fewer hours and enjoyed three out-of-state vaca- minded women who really want a career tions and a number of trips to the beach but still want to be a mom,” said Becker, and Disneyland with her family. Now that who previously worked as a supply chain diher children are back in school, she plans to rector, first in aerospace and then in coneasily adjust her schedule from 10-15 hours sumer goods.
One of Becker’s colleagues, Michele Martin, also left a nearly 15-year career in the corporate world to start a career with the company. “I really enjoyed my corporate life,” said Martin, who worked in technology for more than 14 years. She started with Moms Making Six Figures in 2012. “I went to school, worked really hard and really enjoyed climbing the corporate ladder. But when you have children and things start to change, there’s a shift in your priorities.” Martin traded one dream job for another and is still able to earn a six-figure income but also benefit from a flexible schedule. “You dream of being a mom, but you don’t dream of someone else picking them up and not being able to volunteer in the classroom,” said Martin, a mother of five. “With Moms Making Six Figures, I feel like I can accomplish all that I want.” Offering women an opportunity to work from home, local entrepreneur Heidi Bartolotta quit her job and founded Moms Making Six Figures with two other women in December 2009. Since then, Moms Making Six Figures has grown to more than 400 team members, enabling women to either replace or supplement their income. “It provides flexibility for your life,” said Bartolotta, a former pharmaceutical sales representative, whose daughters are 9 and 11 years old. “There’s also no cap on your income.” Although the company launched in San Diego, there are now team members across the United States and around the world. Teams have long been established in San Diego County, Orange County and the Bay Area. Teams have also launched in several states, including Arizona, Nevada, Illinois, Georgia, Tennessee and New York, as well as overseas in Australia, Poland and the United Kingdom. Women from very different education levels, backgrounds and work styles make up Moms Making Six Figures, Bartolotta said. Interested team members don’t have to have a marketing background, but they do have to have self-motivation and the desire to succeed because they make their own schedules and work from home, she added. “That’s such a huge part of the draw of Moms Making Six Figures — the team,” Martin said. “There’s a lot of other women who want what you want. They’re willing to work for it and they’re willing to work together for it.” Wanting to expand the team at home and abroad, Bartolotta and her team members encourage interested women to contact the company by filling out a form on the website at www.momsmakingsixfigures.com/contact. “I was really skeptical two years ago. If I would have let skepticism get the best of me, then I probably never would have called,” Becker said. “It’s a no-obligation phone call. It could be the best phone call you’ll ever make.” For information, call 858-837-1505 or visit momsmakingsixfigures.com.

TPHS seniors create mockumentary series ‘Last Period’ for YouTube Ermana Productions, led by Torrey Pines High School seniors Ivy Gong and Michelle Zhao, recently launched “Last Period,” an 18-episode comedy mockumentary about the shenanigans of five high schoolers in a “last period” (hence the name) “Office Aide” class together. The series pilot “The Beginning” premiered on YouTube Aug. 28, and the second episode, “The Golden Apple,” followed on Aug. 29. Additional episodes, approximately every two weeks, will extend throughout the 2015-2016 school year on YouTube and the Ermana Productions website. Each episode relates to the trials and tribulations that the students are experiencing at that time in their lives. The webseries was filmed over two weeks this past summer with a minimal budget at two locations, UCSD in La Jolla and Torrey Pines High School in San Diego. The series production team, cast and crew included students from Torrey Pines High School, Canyon Crest Academy, Westview High School, MiraCosta College, Mount Everest Academy and UC Santa Barbara. “Last Period” was written, produced, directed and edited by Ivy Gong and Michelle Zhao. The principal cast includes Emmy Farese (CCA), Lucas Goodman (Westview), Joshua Guicherit (UCSB), Kion Heidari (CCA), who also wrote the original music, and Jacquelyn Morales (Torrey Pines). “We’ve always felt that many of the high school comedies we’ve seen inaccurately portray the extraordinary experience of
high school,” said Ivy. “The portrayals are amusing and entertaining, but not completely relatable. We wanted to capture the struggles and successes of typical high schoolers and that was a huge impetus for the production of ‘Last Period.’” Ivy and Michelle found a passion in film production once they realized they didn’t identify with the many AP STEM classes they had taken over the years. They chose the name “Ermana Productions” last year because “hermana” means “sister” in Spanish and that reflects their close bond. “The difficulties we faced were so different from our academic difficulties with getting good grades and test scores — they were real,” said Michelle. “Likewise, the overwhelming sense of accomplishment at the end of each day of filming among our cast and crew was incomparable to the satisfaction of getting a good grade on a test.” Added Ivy, “We learned so much from this production; it was both a technical and personal education. It was inspiring to see our actors and crew members put in hours of their time to make this production come to life. All of the hard work and responsibility that everyone took on reinforced our certainty of our love for film and entertainment. For that we couldn’t be prouder and more excited for everyone to see what our team accomplished.” For information contact ermanaproductions@gmail.com or find them on Facebook or YouTube.

Modern fairy-tale musical ‘Violet’ opens 40th San Diego REP season San Diego REPertory Theatre presents “Violet,” a modern fairy-tale musical composed by 2015 Tony Award Winner Jeanine Tesori, based on “The Ugliest Pilgrim” by Doris Betts. The cast includes many names from local and regional theater, including Katelyn Katz of Carmel Valley, who plays “Little Violet,” and recent UCSD graduate Hannah Corrigan in the title role. The winner of the Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best Musical, “Violet” is filled with show-stopping anthems of the 1960s American South. Performances run through Sept. 13 on the Lyceum Stage. At age 13, a freak accident left Violet’s face disfigured. As she matures in the hills of North Carolina, Violet dreams of becoming beautiful. Her faith convinces her that a televangelist in Tulsa can heal her. As she turns 25, Violet hops a bus and begins the journey towards what she is sure will be a miraculous transformation. But on the road, Violet discovers the true meaning of beauty — what can be seen and can’t. “‘Violet’ is the story of an outsider seeking her place at the table,” said Sam Woodhouse, REP artistic director who is also directing the production, first in the theater’s 40th season. “The main character sets off in search of finding beauty in herself. It’s a deep American story about faith, healing, the desire for transformation and how the desire to be beautiful informs our lives.” The score features country, blues, gospel and honky-tonk rock from one of the most-applauded composers of contemporary musical theatre, Jeanine Tesori (“Caroline Or Change,” “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” “Shrek The Musical”), who just won the 2015 Tony Award for “Fun Home” (Best Musical Score). For tickets, call 619-544-1000. For group sales, call Vaughn Rainwater, Group Sales Associate, at 619-544-1001. Tickets available for purchase online at www.sdrep.org. Four hours free parking in the Horton Plaza Garage with validation at the theater, 79 Horton Plaza, San Diego.

Free square dance class offered A free “Introduction to Modern American Square Dance” lesson is being offered to the community by the Sandpipers Square Dance Club, which serves the North Coast from Oceanside to Del Mar, when the club’s new dancer class starts at 7 p.m. Sept. 8. Anyone interested in seeing if Square Dancing is something they would like to do are invited to try a free class on their first visit. Modern American Square Dancing uses a variety of musical styles. Dancers learn dance movements rather than memorize dances, then follow the lead of a square dance “caller” as he or she creates the dance on the fly to fit the music. The classes are great exercise and provide a mental break from the routines of the day, and the emphasis is on fun, according to club President Terry Thompson. Children up to age 10 are welcome to participate along with their parents. For those wishing to continue after their first free lesson, class will continue from 7-9 p.m. Tuesdays at La Colonia Community Center, 715 Valley Ave., Solana Beach, 92075. For information, contact club president Thompson at 858-748-4219 or visit the Sandpipers at www.SandpipersSquareDanceClub.org.

perience will be able to participate in a scaled- down version of the workout that will include body weight exercises such as squats, pushups and burpees. “This is a great opportunity have some fun on a Saturday morning while you raise awareness and money for two really great charities,” said Jeff Stoner of Seasick Marketing. “It allows people to come out and be active, learn about what is going on in the community and support some great organizations.” Seasick Marketing and Crossfit 2120 have also invited local vendors to participate, and free food and beer (over 21 years of age), music, silent auction, and raffles are included in the event festivities. “The goal for this first year event is set for around $3,000, but we would obviously love to raise more,” said Stoner. “Between the entry fee and other donation opportunities onsite, we feel this is a realistic goal in the event’s first year.” To donate online, visit http://seasicksportsmarketing.com/about-our-company/ charitable.

Del Mar Community Connections (DMCC) is once again offering its two popular Brain Fitness programs starting Sept. 15 at the Del Mar Community Building, 225 Ninth St., Del Mar. For those interested in participating, orientation meetings will be held at 2 p.m. Sept. 9 for the “Basic Brain Fitness” program And for those wishing to continue training, the orientation meeting will be held at 2 p.m. Sept. 14 for the “Refresher Brain HQ” program. Both are held at the Del Mar Community Building. The programs are free for those living in the 92014 ZIP code, and $75 for all others (proof of residency required). The Basic Fitness programs, developed by Posit Science from work at UC San Francisco, are designed to improve thinking, understanding and memory. The scientifically designed exercises are done on a computer in a classroom for one hour three times a week. The program is self-paced and adjusts to each individual’s abilities and needs. The “refresher” program for Basic Brain Fitness alums is a self-defined program that lets the participant select from 27 different exercises based on what functions of the brain the participant wants to improve. Both courses are held in the DMCC Computer Center. More than 80 participants have taken the Brain Fitness courses and nearly all report improved brain performance, from memory to focus to processing information faster. In general, it makes participants feel more alert. For information and to enroll, call DMCC at 858-792-7565 or email dmcc@dmcc.cc.
Friends of Jung host author Sept. 18 The Friends of Jung host their next Friday Lecture at 7:30 p.m. Sept. 18 with speaker Thomas B. Kirsch. Cost is $20 for nonmembers. The Winston School is at 215 9th St., Del Mar. Kirsch is the author of “A Jungian Life,” published in 2014, which chronicles his very Jungian life. From conception until the present, C.G. Jung, his ideas, and analytical psychology itself have been a central thread in Kirsch’s life. His parents, James and Hilde Kirsch, were in analysis with Jung when he was born in 1935, and he was imaged to be the product of a successful analysis. At an early age, Kirsch was introduced to many of the first-generation analysts who surrounded Jung. Later, in his roles with the International Association for Analytical Psychology, the professional international organization of Jungian analysts, he gained a broad knowledge of the develop- Thomas B. Kirsch ments in analytical psychology, and worked closely with many analysts who were integral in forming the foundations of analytical psychology. Thomas B. Kirsch graduated from Yale Medical School in 1961, did a residency in psychiatry at Stanford University, and spent two years with the National Institute of Mental Health in San Francisco. He completed his Jungian training at the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco in 1968, and is a Jungian analyst in private practice in Palo Alto. He was president of the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco from 1976-1978, served on the executive committee of the IAAP from 1977-1995, and was president from 1989-1995. Email info@jungsandiego.com.

Express bus running to Chargers games
Jill Cadieux running the kid games
Adam Foley & Marlo Milligan-Foley
Instead of driving to Charger games this season and dealing with traffic and parking, North County residents can ride the Chargers North County Express. The bus service — which will provide fans with a comfortable round-trip ride to Qualcomm Stadium from locations along I-5 and I-15 — will be available all season, beginning with the Chargers season opener on Sept. 13 vs. the Detroit Lions. The cost for a single-game, round-trip ticket is $25 per passenger. A season pass for all eight Charger home games is only $175 per person, a savings of $25. Coastal North County residents can access the express bus from: • Oceanside Transit Center, 235 S. Tremont St., Oceanside • Plaza Camino Real Shopping Center, 2525 El Camino Real, Carlsbad • La Costa Avenue Park & Ride lot, I-5 at La Costa Avenue, Carlsbad • Birmingham Drive Park & Ride lot, I-5 at Birmingham Drive, Encinitas. Inland North County fans can access the express bus from the Escondido Transit Center, 700 W. Valley Parkway, Escondido, CA 92025. All buses depart approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours before the start of each game. The Chargers North County Express is operated by SEAT Planners Incorporated, in coordination with the San Diego Chargers, North County Transit District, and California Bus Association. Tickets can be purchased at www.seatplanners.com. If you have any questions, email chargersexpress@seatplanners.com.

Varicose Veins: What Men Should Know When thinking of varicose veins and spider veins, men often conjure images of grandmas with blue hair and compression stockings. However, according to some researchers, up to 56 percent of men contract varicose veins. As I’ve mentioned in previous columns, varicose veins are not simply a cosmetic annoyance; problems associated with varicose and spider veins can range from discoloration, heaviness in the legs, to even bleeding and skin ulcers, all of which can hinder daily activity if not lead to greater consequences such as blood clots. All this means that men should not ignore the symptoms out of shame or
because of an outdated stigma. While genetics and weight play a role in the likelihood of getting symptoms of varicose veins, often times it is athletes who are prone to this condition. And we are far from the days when painful vein stripping was the only solution, as the painless sclerotherapy and laser treatment have replaced the outmoded procedures. In the meantime, here are some facts to consider: Many men lift weights as a form of exercise. Strenuous exercise such as weightlifting can strain venous circulation. When blood flows from the legs back up to the heart, it moves through the abdomen, in the vena cava. Heavy lifting and straining increases abdominal pressure and impedes blood from traveling back to the heart. Instead, the blood pools in the leg veins, which increases the venous pressure and reverses the flow back to the varicose veins in the legs. For those who do lift weights, make sure to use proper techniques with lower weight and higher rep routines. Also, stretch your muscles in advance of more intense movements, since

veins rely on the muscles to efficiently transport blood. Preliminary stretching increases the heart rate to oxygenate the blood flowing into the veins surrounding the muscles. Follow up with light cardio such as walking or riding an exercise bike, then proceed with weight you can handle; too much weight may increase risk of injury and prevent the valves in the veins from opening fully to enable blood flow. Only increase weight load gradually. Post-lifting, cool down for at least ten minutes by walking or other light cardio to maintain blood flow, and commence by repeating the warmup stretching. Finish by elevating legs and even wearing compression hose or leggings. In general, it is important to maintain a regular exercise regime in order to maintain healthy venous structure and keep vein walls strong. Try to involve your calves, a big player in maintaining blood flow from your legs back to your heart. Similarly, men as well as women find themselves more attached to their computers for work, which requires long periods of sitting. Blood naturally pools in
the legs when not in motion, and sitting for long stretches exacerbates the problem. If it’s not possible to take regular stretching breaks, make sure to move your legs, raising them at your desk or tapping your feet. If you’re standing still, sway from side to side. When you have a chance, try to lie horizontally a few times a day for fifteen minutes to reduce vein pressure. Men are generally afraid to seek treatment for varicose or spider veins, often choosing to ignore the symptoms because they don’t understand the significance of the condition. But treatment is quite easy and is very effective and should not be overlooked, no matter your gender or your lifestyle. And while not everyone is ready for compression hose, there are many steps you can take to relieve symptoms of or eliminate altogether those pesky grandma veins. When you’re ready to talk about sclerotherapy or laser treatment, or if you have any questions about the treatment for varicose and spider veins, contact us at 760944-9263 or visit us at www.sdveininstitute. com.

Scripps holds Healing Arts Collection event Art enthusiasts had the opportunity to view renderings of artwork that will grace family waiting areas and corridors at the Leichtag Foundation Critical Care Pavilion at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas. The Healing Arts Collection at Scripps Encinitas event was held Aug. 27 at Make (formerly the Floral Trade Center) in Carlsbad. The collection â&#x20AC;&#x201D; 29 original installations consisting of paintings, mosaics, carvings and sculptures â&#x20AC;&#x201D; showcases images of nature and serenity that are reflective of North San Diego County scenery. By sponsoring a signature piece of the Healing Arts Collection, donors will support the addition of new, inspiring artwork for the hospital as well as its expansion efforts. Research has shown that art in a hospital environment can help reduce stress, pain and anxiety, improve the work day for health care providers and make the entire health care experience a better one for patients and caregivers.

Let’s get to the heart of the matter with delectable artichokes BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN As I stroll through the produce aisle, the mound of beautiful mauve-tinted flower buds of the thistle plant, globe-shaped with spiky leaves tapering to perfect points catches my eye. If I had lived in ancient times, as a woman I would’ve been banned from eating this Mediterranean delicacy in many regions as it was considered a potent aphrodisiac. Today, California is this country’s sole producer of the mighty artichoke, the official vegetable of Monterey County, abundant year round with peak seasons in the spring and early fall. Here’s a primer to help you get the best and most out of this perennial wonder. Globe artichokes, so named because of their full, round shape, including the Green Globe, Imperial Star, Big Heart and Tempo varieties are the most abundant and popular in markets, followed by the Violetto, an Elongated, Italian heirloom variety. For both the Globe and Elongated, the flowering bud is the edible part that is harvested. Tender artichoke hearts are immature babies picked before the inedible prickly inner core or “choke” forms. While the more exotic Jerusalem artichoke — known as the “sunchoke” found in specialty markets and also a member of the sunflower family — is harvested for its underground tuber rather than its bud. The buds should be tightly packed with crisp pale to emerald green or purplish petals not mottled, blemished, dried out or bronzed which could be caused by frost damage. The trick for selecting the freshest artichoke is the squeeze test, which should produce a squeaking sound, (that you will probably want to do when no one is looking—or listening!) The bud is as healthful as it is beautiful — one large artichoke has only 25 calories, but a load of fiber, folate, immune boosting Vitamin C, stress-busting B’s, and K’s for blood clotting and strengthening blood vessels. There’s more. The artichoke contains powerful compounds that put the skids on cholesterol synthesis, reducing the “bad“ or has a rich mineral store with bone-friendly magnesium and calcium, fluid-balancing potassium, in addition to copper and iron for the formation of blood cells. Don’t sabotage the low cal healthy artichoke by pairing it with melted butter or a rich, fatty, high cholesterol dip with the likes of cream cheese or mayonnaise. Drizzle with

Delectable artichokes a heart healthy olive oil vinaigrette with fresh lemon juice and minced garlic, then roast, bake or steam until tender. Artichokes can be enjoyed as a fun finger food, plucking off the tender petals, dipping the base into a guiltless low fat condi-

When all the petals are removed, scoop away the hard fuzzy center portion, leaving the tender heart intact. The latter can be eaten solo or used in the preparation of many adventurous dishes. (You can also buy cans or jars of marinated prepared hearts). The culinary intrepid might whip up an artichoke frittata, lemon soup, Asian stir fry, risotto with mascarpone cheese and fresh herbs, roasted and stuffed with quinoa or buckwheat, baked breaded baby chokes, braised with grilled wild caught salmon or deep sea scallops, or marinated in a citrus vinaigrette and tossed with baby greens, or fettuccine and goat cheese. Or do as the Romans did, seasoning with a mixture of honey, vinegar and cumin. The artichoke can be stored in the refrigerator for up to five days, unwashed until ready to use. With a serrated knife, trim the sharp tips and stem, and remove the middle fuzzy “choke” either before or after cooking. Here’s an easy artichoke dish that is sure to warm your heart. Steamed Artichoke with Creamy Dreamy Low Fat Dipping Sauce 1 medium to large artichoke, trimmed 1 garlic clove, minced Juice from one lemon (I prefer Meyer) Sea salt and dried Italian herbs to taste In a large pot, fill a quarter way, and add lemon juice, garlic, salt and herbs. Place the artichoke in a steamer basket and insert in the pot. Bring to a boil, cover and simmer for about 30 minutes until tender (the center leaves can be plucked easily, and the core is soft when pierced). If not using a steamer basket, place artichoke into boiling, seasoned water, with one tablespoon of olive oil, and simmer, uncovered for about 30 minutes. Dipping Sauce 1 cup plain Greek yoghurt 1 garlic clove, minced Juice from one lemon Sea salt and cayenne pepper to taste In a small mixing bowl, blend ingredients. Cover and chill. Serve with steamed artichoke, hot or cold. For additional artichoke recipes email kitchenshrink@san.rr.com.
