BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Del Mar has adopted its controversial ordinance on short-term vacation rentals, clearing the way for the regulations to go to the California Coastal Commission next year for possible approval. After settling on the specifics last month, the city council formally approved the ordinance on Nov. 6 in a 4-1 vote, with Mayor Terry Sinnott holding out as the council’s sole opponent to the package of zoning changes and clarifications that spell out the terms arrived at after three years of divisive, bruising debate. The regulatory framework — which requires short-term rentals (STRs) in nearly every residential area of the city to last at least seven days at a time and total no more than 28 days per year — will not take effect until the Coastal Commission adds the regulations into Del Mar’s “Local Coastal Program (LCP),” a state planning document that dictates development and land use.

Neighbors rally to save Carmel Del Mar Park trees BY KAREN BILLING A group of Carmel Valley residents are lamenting over the Carmel Del Mar Park that was. In the park neighbors said the trees are weakened and dying from a lack of water and the slopes that used to be coated in fuchsia blooms is now just barren. Where shrubs used to grow green there is only dirt and on the slopes around the corner playground, the bushes are brown and dry. KAREN BILLING “It’s a magical place. It’s a special place, connected to Resident Ruby Evans points to dying trees on the slope at a special school, the first Carmel Del Mar.

Breeders’ Cup CEO: ‘We have to come back’ to Del Mar
The Seascape Sur beach access stairway descends some 140 steps from Solana Beach’s southern bluffs.
SEBASTIAN MONTES
Seascape Sur staircase shuts down for $200,000 in repairs
BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Four months of repairs got underway this week to replace the worn, wooden steps and rusted-out hangers and fasteners of the Seascape Sur stairway, one of five that descend from Solana Beach’s southern bluffs. Built in 1995 atop eight concrete piers -three on the beach and five on the bluff -- the 140-step staircase starts at a landing between the Solana Beach & Tennis Club and Seascape Sur condominium communities, due west of the Beachwalk shopping center. City officials have been planning the repairs for 18 months. In July, the city council picked the lowest of six bids that had ranged from $202,690 to $326,325. The winning contractor, Conan Construction, Inc., built the Veterans’ Honor Courtyard at
La Colonia Park. Because engineers aren’t sure how easily the stairs will come apart, the council agreed to include a larger-than-usual $40,000 contingency fund. Some of the work will require heavy machinery on the beach. The project also includes replacing the concrete walkway that connects the staircase with South Sierra Avenue. The walkway has suffered severe damage from tree roots. A colored sidewalk will be built in its place. The staircase shut down on Nov. 7 and isn’t expected to re-open until as late as March 30. Until then, the beach can be accessed a few hundred yards to the south via the Del Mar Shores staircase or at Fletcher Cove a quarter-mile to the north.
BY TOD LEONARD Over the weekend of the Breeders’ Cup, Del Mar Thoroughbred Club CEO and President Joe Harper heard it often. “Why don’t they have the Breeders’ Cup here every year?” That both pleased Harper and raised the hair on the back of his neck. Holding the 34th Breeders’ Cup had been the biggest undertaking in the history of DMTC. The thought of turning it all around in 12 months could have sent Harper into early retirement. As Harper points out, horse racing’s world championships were meant to travel around to produce excitement among various racing communities. As it is, the event will return to Churchill Downs in 2018 for the ninth time. However, the enthusiastic, if naïve, questions for Harper confirmed what he had hoped: Many people involved in this year’s Breeders’ Cup, from owners to fans to area merchants, want to see the event come back. It appears very likely that will happen. “My preliminary read is that it’s a place we have to come back to,” Craig Fravel, CEO and president of the Breeders’ Cup, said Sunday afternoon, Nov. 5. “I got 20 emails from people saying that it was a home run,” he said. “The overall experience was great. “So many people hadn’t been here before. And to have that kind of sunshine-y
day (on Saturday), that was the icing on the cake. It couldn’t have been a more beautiful day at Del Mar.” When the Breeders’ Cup returns depends on how the next few years’ schedules shake out. After Churchill, the Breeders’ Cup could return to the West Coast at Santa Anita. Then it might go back East, possibly to New York if some political issues are worked out. New York hasn’t had a Breeders’ Cup since 2005 at Belmont Park. Or it could return to Keeneland, in Kentucky, which had a successful first hosting in 2015. What clearly is coveted is the West Coast television time, which put Saturday’s Classic on NBC in prime time in the East and Midwest. So if the Breeders’ Cup wants to return to the West Coast in, say, 2021, Del Mar would be happy to have it. (That would make for a big event year in San Diego, with Torrey Pines hosting the 2021 U.S. Open.) “I would think somewhere around that (’21) would work, if they still like us,” Harper said. “Obviously, we’ll be honored to put it on any year they want.” Fravel said he heard almost all positives from around the track, with the biggest glitch being a bottleneck at the entry gates Friday due to security measures. Those were addressed and the wait was reduced Saturday, he said. From the trainers and various workers on SEE BREEDERS’ CUP CEO, A19

Del Mar renews lease for 130-year-old wooden pilings
BY PHIL DIEHL A thicket of 130-year-old wood pilings only revealed during the lowest tides of the year has been given a new lease on life. Del Mar on Monday, Nov. 6, renewed its agreement, first signed in 1988 with the state Lands Commission, to prevent the timbers from being removed from two long, narrow, beach lots swept by the tides. The state considered the pilings an unnecessary hazard to beachgoers, and was preparing to remove them in the mid-1980s. However, Del Mar City Council members — because many residents consider the pilings a valuable historical resource — worked out the lease to keep them as sort of a memorial to the town’s start as a tourists’ playground. “Both of these sites are visible to the public

Del Mar leases some beach lots from the state to preserve these old wooden pilings. when walking on the beach and generate many questions for the Historical Society,” said Larry Brooks, president of the Del Mar
Historical Society, in a letter supporting the renewal of the agreement. “Also, they are of particular interest to Del
Mar third-grade students when they study local history.” The pilings in the water at the ends of 10th and 11th streets are the only remains of a bathhouse and natatorium that were part of the Casa Del Mar Hotel that opened in 1886. Guests of the luxurious, 30-room hotel at the end of 10th Street walked down a flight of wooden stairs to reach the bathhouse built at the base of the bluffs and the separate natatorium, which was essentially a saltwater wading pool filled by the tides. “It was built to protect the bathers from the ‘dreaded sting ray,’” Brooks said by email Tuesday, Nov. 7. The bathhouse was a three-story wooden structure with changing rooms on the first SEE WOODEN PILINGS, A20
Disbarred Rancho Santa Fe attorney convicted in scheme to fly cocaine load
RED HUBER/ORLANDO SENTINEL
Todd Macaluso was at one time part of the defense team for Casey Anthony, who was accused of killing of her daughter. She was acquitted. Macaluso was convicted Friday, Nov. 3, of a cocaine-smuggling conspiracy.
BY KRISTINA DAVIS A disbarred Rancho Santa Fe attorney on probation for a San Diego-based fraud scheme was found guilty by a Brooklyn, N.Y., jury Friday, Nov. 3, of conspiring to fly a private plane loaded with more than 3,000 pounds of cocaine. Todd Macaluso, an experienced pilot, was arrested last November in Haiti along with two other men as the smuggling flight was in the final planning stages. The plane was to pick up cocaine in Ecuador then unload in Honduras, according to the complaint filed in New York federal court. Macaluso has maintained his innocence, saying that he believed the chartered flight was to explore a real estate venture, and has accused the government of misconduct. Macaluso gained prominence earlier in his career for his high-award verdicts, as well as for his famous — or infamous — clients. He was part of the defense team of Casey Anthony, the

young Florida mother charged with killing her toddler daughter in 2011. Anthony was acquitted, and news reports speculated that one of Macaluso’s private planes secretly shuttled her from Orlando and into hiding when she was released from jail. He also claimed in a letter to a judge to have flown the Kardashian family around “for years.” In 2015 he was sent to prison by a San Diego federal judge for five months after he forged client signatures that would give investors a claim over a portion of the winnings in his clients’ personal injury cases. After being released from prison, his financial woes prompted him to file for bankruptcy. He reported between $10 million and $50 million in liabilities, according to court records. The bankruptcy court discharged his debts, but he still owed $1.2 million that could not be erased, including unpaid taxes, SEE ATTORNEY, A21

Solana Pacific snips ribbon on new solar panels
BY KAREN BILLING The Solana Beach School District flipped the switch on its new solar panel system on the Solana Pacific Elementary School campus Nov. 3, the first renewable energy project in the school district. The ceremony for the new solar project was the first ribbon-cutting event for one of the district’s Measure JJ projects. Solana Beach School District Superintendent Terry Decker said the district was very fortunate that Measure JJ passed with almost 66 percent of the vote, allowing improvements to touch all schools throughout the district. The summer was a very busy time as they completed the solar panel project, are nearly done with the renovation at Solana Highlands Elementary School, and are in the process of rebuilding Skyline School from the ground up. “Our district mission is centered on developing compassionate students who ‘think globally and act locally’,” Decker said. “Our new solar program, an extension of our tax-payer supported Measure JJ infrastructure upgrades, will not only help save $50,000 in energy costs every year, but act as a living lab for students to learn about STREAM (science, technology, research, engineering, arts and mathematics) and sustainability as they prepare for careers of tomorrow.” Members of the community were there to celebrate the first ribbon-cutting event as well as Solana Beach School District (SBSD) board members and staff, Solana Pacific Principal Elisa Fregoso, San Diego City Councilmember Barbara Bry, San Diego Deputy Director of Energy and Sustainability Jack Clark and the district’s partner on the panels, OpTerra Energy Services. The Solana Beach Band provided the musical entertainment for the groundbreaking and Solana Pacific students shared “fun facts” about the system, including that the system will generate enough electricity to power 21.5 homes in Solana Beach for one whole year and with the same amount of clean energy they produce, they could power nine Teslas a day or 3,350 electric vehicles a year. In addition to energy cost savings, the panels will offset 199 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions annually, the same as taking 42 cars off the road every year.
“The sun shines bright on the Solana Beach School District and we embrace the opportunity to take advantage of this energy for our school,” said SBSD President Debra Schade. “Solana Pacific students will be the generation that understands the importance of solutions to real-world problems such as climate change and global warming. They will be the generation to fully embrace clean energy and transportation and the leaders in efficient use of our planet’s resources. This project confirms we have the power to make the change.” Councilmember Bry said the district’s solar project was a great example of a public agency doing their part to conserve, particularly as the city of San Diego moves toward reaching the “ambitious” goals in its Climate Action Plan. “We are committed in the city of San Diego to eliminate half of all greenhouse gas emissions in the city and to aim for all electricity needs of the city to be from renewable sources by 2035,” Bry said. “Thank you for this great representation of walking the walk on fiscal stewardship and environmental action.” Crista Curtis, regional business development manager for OpTerra, said she has the fun job of partnering with cities and school districts on projects that embrace clean energy and support local innovation. Locally, OpTerra has worked with the city of Solana Beach and the San Dieguito Union High School District in their sustainability efforts. From solar carports to rooftop mounted panels and a battery storage system at the new Earl Warren Middle School, San Dieguito is expected to save over $10 million in energy costs over 15 years and about 50 percent of the district’s electricity needs are now met by solar. “It is with great pride that the San Diego-based OpTerra team has been able to help Solana Beach School District’s vision for sustainability come to life on campus at Solana Pacific Elementary,”Curtis said. “Over our short, three-month construction period, we have helped transform an idea for clean energy production into a reality – we helped create 50 local construction jobs in the process and a foundation for students to learn from for years to come.” SEE MORE PHOTOS, A16

Design guidelines aim to bring clarity to Del Mar neighborhoods BY SEBASTIAN MONTES In pursuit of harmonious neighborhood aesthetics — and to temper the city’s increasingly acrimonious review process — Del Mar has approved a comprehensive set of design guidelines meant to help applicants, architects and neighbors navigate the city’s process for architectural reviews, both for residential and commercial projects. The city council approved the guidelines on Monday, Nov. 6 after
nearly three hours of public testimony and deliberation. The 140-page document — which can be viewed at www.delmar.ca.us/DocumentCenter/View/3279 —offers direction on details ranging from tree placement and how to preserve views to window size and outdoor lighting. The guidelines are not, however, binding. Instead, they are meant to give homeowners, design professionals and the city’s Design Review Board (DRB) clarity on how to interpret Del Mar’s
40-year-old Design Review Ordinance. An ad hoc committee started working on the guidelines more than two years ago, first by identifying the biggest flaws in the city’s design review process — principally, that the process was too subjective and had therefore become too prone to contention. Significant pushback emerged as the guidelines were SEE DESIGN GUIDELINES, A21

Building program is largest in the history of the San Diego County health system
Scripps Health Nov. 7 unveiled a master plan that represents the largest building program in the health care system’s 125-year history and triggers significant construction projects at its hospital campuses across San Diego County designed to serve the needs of the community for generations to come, according to a press release. “This is our vision to build the health care system of the future — starting today,” said Chris Van Gorder, Scripps president and CEO. “Our focus is on delivering the right care in the right setting that reflects the changing health care needs of the communities we serve across the San Diego region.” The master plan accounts for changing health-care trends. Flexible space designs will recognize the rapid evolution of technology
so that the latest equipment and devices can be easily incorporated into patient rooms, operating rooms, laboratories and diagnostic centers, the press release said. More care is being delivered on an outpatient basis at clinics and other medical facilities, so Scripps will design its acute care hospitals to care for the most seriously ill patients. Plans include state-of-the-art private patient rooms. Floors will be designed following best practices. Nurses will be placed closer to patients and will have more direct access to equipment and supplies, increasing their efficiency and improving their ability to deliver the highest quality care possible. Facilities will be designed to promote patient healing and comfort and will make efficient use of natural resources. The master plan projects will be financed by operating revenues, borrowing and philanthropy, according to the press release. SEE HOSPITAL, A22

Saving animals’ lives:
Rescue Express finds a new home in Rancho Santa Fe
BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe’s Mike McCarthy is the founder and heart of Rescue Express, saving lives by transporting animals from overpopulated and high-kill shelters in Southern California to rescue groups who find them forever homes in the Pacific Northwest. The nonprofit subsidiary of MGM Animal Foundation provides freedom rides for pets free of charge in a fleet of three big red buses that can hold up to 200 animals safely and humanely. Since 2015, Rescue Express has transported almost 13,000 animals. With the addition of two buses to the fleet in 2016, McCarthy said there is a real possibility they will meet 20,000 animals transported by next year. New to Rancho Santa Fe from Eugene, Ore., Rescue Express is hosting an open house on Wednesday, Nov. 15 at the Rescue Express Ranch at 6715 Lago Lindo, Rancho Santa Fe. From 4-7 p.m. guests can enjoy a light meal, meet the staff, tour the buses and learn about how the group is working toward a future in which no animals are euthanized due to a community’s inability to care for them. A retired software engineer, McCarthy had his own computer science and accounting system consulting practice that he sold in 1998. He always had a love for animals and after selling his company, he went to work for animal rescues, whether it was helping rescue groups to improve their fundraising efforts or making contributions to help them meet facility needs or other needs. McCarthy and his eight dogs, all rescues, moved to his Rancho Santa Fe ranch in August. McCarthy lived in Rancho Santa Fe from 2008 to 2010 before moving to Newport Beach for a couple years and then heading up north to live on a ranch in Eugene. While working with shelters in Oregon, he said it became evident that nearly all of the rescues were coming to the state from Southern California. A bunch of little groups were transporting the animals up north, often times in cramped vans or even cars, some of them arriving in poor condition, dehydrated or even worse. “I decided I could do a better job than they were doing and do it really cheap if I used a
bigger vehicle,” McCarthy said. “You could get a lot more animals in the van, and with a two-person crew we could transport animals from Los Angeles to Seattle.” The first Rescue Express, a converted 40-foot school bus, took its initial journey on Valentine’s Day 2015, stopping at rescue groups along Interstate 5 to load up the bus heading north. “Shelters in Southern California, mostly those in the Central Valley, are more and more pressured by the community to lower euthanasia rates and find ways to home most dogs, as long as they aren’t ferocious or sick. So this is a great program for them,” McCarthy said. Free of charge, he will go to a shelter in a place like Bakersfield and take 20 dogs out of their cages and take them up north. McCarthy said the Southern California shelters are “delighted” because it takes pressure off of them to find homes for those 20 dogs and the shelters up north, which have a hard time finding animals, are able to get those dogs into good homes and benefit from adoption fees to keep their shelters up and running. “The people there are also getting to adopt an animal that they wouldn’t have been able to get and the animal gets to live a life as well,” McCarthy said. “Everybody wins.” The first few trips were word of mouth but soon they implemented a reservation system. Over the last four years, McCarthy has refined the system, drawing on his tech background to create an online method. In 2016, they added two more buses to the fleet to meet demand. The bus is equipped with 100 carriers of varying sizes, from small to large and groups can make reservations based on carrier size. Every weekend on Saturday mornings, the bus starts picking up animals all the way up to Sacramento and then makes several scheduled stops. Eugene, Ore., is usually the first stop and then the bus goes on to Portland, Seattle and Burlington, Wash. “A lot of animals are going to Canada now,” McCarthy said. “The further north you get, the greater the shortage of animals.” At one Canada shelter, McCarthy said they had 200 applications for 20 available dogs.

Local taekwondo champion has Olympic dreams BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley’s Andrew Heiati has dreams of representing his country in the Olympics after winning an individual junior sparring title at the American Taekwondo Association (ATA) PanAm Champion Championships in Peru last October. The 16-year-old black belt is a junior at High Bluff Academy. “The best part was holding the flag and running with it and representing my country,” Andrew said. “To fight for the title and fight for your country in another country is really powerful.” Andrew began doing taekwondo in kindergarten, as part of an after-school program hosted by Church’s Martial Arts. “I really liked martial arts and the idea of knowing self-defense and how to defend yourself at any time,” Andrew said. “The more that I learned, the more I liked it as a sport and I became more competitive.” Andrew began competing at age 10, taking his training more seriously at Church’s Martial Arts in Carmel Valley. He was named to the USA Taekwondo Cadet National B-Team in 2015 and has competed internationally in Costa Rica and Mexico. This April, he won the National High School Championship, hosted by the National Collegiate Taekwondo Association in San Diego. Andrew, who enjoys sparring the most, said his strength is his speed, the result of a lot of quick-burst training. Thanks to his flexible school schedule at High Bluff, Andrew is able to train at Church’s five to

six days a week, two to three hours a day. He also often does cardio on his own, running on the beach or in the hills of Gonzales Canyon with his mom, Young. Taekwondo has become the family sport, both Andrew’s brother and father practice taekwondo and his mother, Young, also took it up after being inspired watching
Andrew. Last October, in addtition to his individual title, he also was a ATA PanAm Champion in Junior TEAM Sparring As much as Andrew enjoyed the culture and experience of visiting Peru, he learned a lot from facing competitors from seven different countries in the PanAm championships.

“It’s a different environment,” Andrew said. “In the U.S. I fight people that I see a lot in competitions but in Peru I fought people from all over South America and saw many different styles.” On the way to the title, he fought in five matches and his first match ended up being his hardest “My first match went into overtime against the best kid in the competition and the previous title holder,” Andrew said of the match against a competitor from Paraguay. In overtime, he won by one point with a kick. For the championship he bested a competitor from Uruguay, cheering loudly, pumping his fists and running around proudly waving the American flag. In the coming season, Andrew will go on to compete at the Junior Olympic trials in March, the Youth Olympic Games, the Junior Team Trials for the World Championships and the US Open. The confident young man has high aspirations for his academic and athletic careers: he plans to study mechanical engineering in college (Stanford, UC Berkeley and MIT are on his list) and he would like to continue competing with his ultimate goal of representing his country in the Olympics. Of everything he’s learned from the sport of taekwondo, he said the most valuable lessons have been in goal setting and planning. “You can do anything if you work hard,” Andrew said.

TPHS graduate selected for publication in college textbook
The League Of Amazing Programmers wins top honors at Design for San Diego 2017
Margaret “Carly” Auerbach, a sophomore at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, had her research paper selected for publication in Fresh Voices. The textbook will be used in the school’s composition curriculum. Dr. Brenda Helmbrecht, director of Writing at Cal Poly and editor, Fresh Voices, said, “Getting published in a book read by thousands of people is a big accomplishment.” Auerbach’s paper is titled “TTYL!’: An Examination of the Effect Technology Plays in Communication” and investigates the ubiquity of mobile phones and social media platforms. While technology clearly collapses the distance between acquaintances, Auerbach parsed research about the deleterious effects the technology has on face-to-face communications. Auerbach, a former resident of Solana Beach and 2016 graduate of TPHS, was recently honored at a reception with other Cal Poly students. Her professor
The League of Amazing Programmers, a nonprofit dedicated to teaching professional-level programming to kids and teens, recently announced that two of five League teams entered in the Design for San Diego (D4SD) Civic Challenge took home top honors, including the competition’s $5,000 grand prize. The League’s students were the only high school-age participants who entered the competition alongside design professionals, college and graduate students. “I knew the students could hold their own, but I had no idea one of the League’s five teams might win!” said Becky Deller, director of Community Engagement, The League of Amazing Programmers. “The judges were surprised to learn the age of The League’s student entrants, and praised them for their poise and intelligence.” The month-long inaugural competition launched by UC San Diego’s Design Lab, focused on the issue of mobility, asking participants the question “How might we create a San Diego where all move more freely,” and challenged them to solve this complex city-wide problem through design thinking and crowdsourcing. The League’s grand prize-winning team, Cycle Detection, addressed the specific question: How can we make bicycles more visible to

Illinois Wesleyan’s Doug Ballard and North Park’s Ricky Pimentel were selected as the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) Men’s Soccer Players of the Week Oct. 31. Ballard, a sophomore midfielder from Solona Beach and Canyon Crest Academy (biology/pre-physical therapy major), won his second-straight CCIW Offensive Player of the Week honor after helping the Titans secure a 2-1 win at North Central on Oct. 28. Despite playing a man down due to a red card, Ballard scored the game-winning goal 49 seconds into the first overtime, which secured Illinois Wesleyan’s highest CCIW finish since 1995. The Titans finished in second with a 6-2-0 record, which was the most conference victories in a season.
football league’s Miami Hurricanes. It was definitely a step out of her comfort zone but one she was willing to take for her son and a group of football-loving fifth and sixth grade boys. “I am not a football person,” laughed Evans. “I played soccer growing up but my kids are so into it and it’s such a fun community of people getting together on Friday nights.” Evans’ quick ascension to flag football coach came when her son, Tate, and his friends wanted to play Friday Night Lights this season but there was no coach available. Evans had coached soccer before so she thought she would give it a try. With help from her older son, Tyler, and watching a lot of YouTube videos, she got a crash course in flag football, “It was good for my brain to learn something new,” she said. A dedicated coach, she took her team all the way to the semifinals on Nov. 4. “Amber has really put her heart and soul into learning the game and creating a solid team. But she also goes above and beyond in other ways like ironing every kid’s name

The team practices just once a week after school. “I like football so it’s the exact same but not that dangerous and it doesn’t require much time,” said Hurricane Dylan, who said he is able to play a game he loves with his friends as well as play competitive soccer, which requires two practices a week and games stretching over the weekend. Still a football newbie, Evans said she is not yet at the point where she’s watching college football on Saturdays and NFL on Sundays, but her season with the young Miami Hurricanes is one she won’t soon forget. “I encourage anyone that has the time and the enthusiasm to coach,” Evans said. “It’s extremely rewarding.” Registration for the spring 2018 Friday Night Lights Carmel Valley season is open now.

The natatorium in 1912.
COURTESY OF THE DEL MAR HISTORICAL SOCIETY
Ever wonder what those old pilings on the beach were from? Did you know that... These particular artifacts are remnants from 1885 of the timber piling used by Jacob Taylor in the construction of his natatorium at the foot of 10th Street and of his bathhouse at the foot of 11th Street. The natatorium was a big selling feature for his newly-opened Casa Del Mar. He built the natatorium to protect bathers from the “dreaded stingray.” Both of these sites are visible to the public when walking on the beach and generate many questions for the Historical Society. Have you seen them?

People at the natatorium many years ago.
I believe Watermark mitigation attempt is misleading As many of you know, Watermark developers are proposing a 38-48 units, multifamily residential building on the corner of Jimmy Durante Blvd. and San Dieguito Dr. This is a huge development both in mass and density that Del Mar has never seen before. This property is zoned for commercial development. The city gave the developers permission to build as a specific plan. This means our city’s Design Ordinances need not apply. Therefore, the developers have planned a massive development that has only a 10-foot setback, building structures as high as 46 feet, and overall density and mass that would never be allowed anywhere else. There are many potential negative impacts to our surrounding residents and community.
I want to point out that the 48-unit proposal is 62,941 square feet and the 38-unit proposal is 60,660 square feet. That is a difference of only 2,281 square feet. This does not substantially decrease the footprint! 38-unit proposal is 60,660 square feet! This is not downsizing, and I believe misleading to the public. It scantily reduces the mass and potentially no decrease in density at all. Sadly, the city in which we live, invested in and pay hefty property taxes is not being even remotely respectful in the zoning ordinances and community plan with this proposed development. In other words, the community plan applies everywhere else but here. Where next? North County zoning code 30.24.060 states: “All development in the NC Zone shall be subject to design review by the Design Review Board pursuant to the provisions of this Code. The design of all such development shall avoid significant adverse visual or environmental impacts on the lagoon and residential hillside areas”. This proposal does not have adequate
protective setbacks from the lagoon . This development would provide constant light, noise pollution and water runoff making it impossible for the wildlife to have protection and respite. Code 30.24.010 Purpose states “The NC Zone is designed to allow commercial activities that provide a service to the community. Development in the NC Zone shall be of low intensity and profile, offering a lively open air commercial environment with substantial open space.” This proposal is anything but, the mass and density in unconscionable. I requested at the DRB that story poles be erected so that the entire city can grasp what this development will be in mass and density. Of course, it won’t show the noise, light pollution, privacy encroachment, parking issues, traffic impact, potential decrease in emergency vehicle response time, or the wildlife impact.

FROM PARK, A1 park, which shares its neighborhood use with over 500 kids from Carmel Del Mar School. The residents raised their concerns at the Oct. 23 Carmel Valley Community Planning Board and a similar plea was made at the Carmel Valley Recreation Council meeting. At the rec council meeting in October, resident Benay Berl expressed concerns about the formerly “magnificent” jacaranda trees at a triangle at the front of the park, at the end of a “well-loved” walkway that leads down to the school and park from the Carmel Del Mar community. “These are treasures,” Berl said of the once-lush trees. “When you got to this place and the jacarandas were in bloom, it would take your breath away.” Evans said the primary concerns are falling and fire hazards, pointing to 40-foot- tall dead eucalyptus trees on the slopes that present falling hazards for the children in the park as well as a fire hazard to the entire community. The entire slope is thick with four to five inches of pine needle detritus and dead vegetation and Evans said that fire risk weighs heavily on the residents’ minds after what happened with the Northern California wildfires last month. Residents say they have made brush management complaints with the fire department as well as complaining to the landscape company. On Nov. 1, the group gathered with a promise to meet with San Diego Parks and Recreation staff but they did not attend. Steven Hadley, a representative from Councilmember Barbara Bry’s office was there to hear and document the neighbors concerns. The residents’ complaints have made some noise — that afternoon there were several bags of pine needles that the landscaping company had removed and some residents noted puddling that showed at least some water had at least been turned on somewhere. Evans noted that 10 times as much pine needles as those removed that day still remain on the slope so crews need to keep clearing the slope to prevent the needles from building up again. “What you’re already seeing is the city responding,” Hadley said, encouraging
FROM VACATION RENTALS, A1 of this year. The Coastal Commission has not indicated how quickly it will take up Del Mar’s proposal. Whenever the Coastal Commission’s decision does come, the dozens of Del Mar homes that have been allowed to continue renting without restriction thanks to the city’s April 2016 moratorium will have to immediately abide by the approved regulations. The city’s procedural move came over of the last-gasp entreaties of a throng of STR proponents pleading with the council to reconsider its direction, especially on the 7/28 timeframe. They blasted the measure as certain to cripple Del Mar’s tourist economy and price out all but the most affluent visitors and homeowners. The Breeders’ Cup — which brought tens of thousands of horse-racing fans to Del Mar last weekend — weighed heavily on the minds of STR supporters, several of whom hosted attendees and race officials in their homes. If Del Mar is awarded the Breeders’ Cup again, they said, the seven-day

residents to keep working. The message to keep pushing and to contact the mayor’s office was not heartening to neighbor Rod Peck, who has lived in Carmel Valley since 1985, pre-dating the school and the park—he said he has complained about the lack of maintenance in the park for over 25 years. “There are signs that say ‘keep off the slopes’ and the only people who keep off are the people who are supposed to be maintaining them,” Peck said. “Twenty years of complaining has done nothing.” Evans said one of the main problems now is that the city is under a mandate to conserve water and the slopes were the first places that the water was turned off. Evans said that, according to the area manager for the park, the irrigation to the slopes has been turned off since July 2016. Especially frustrating to Evans is that the Maintenance Assessment District (MAD) which surrounds the park is obviously not under the same mandate because they never stopped watering and the slopes and trees remain lush and maintained. For the community to connect to that MAD or another one would require a citywide vote. Evans said she was told the sprinklers would be turned on “as needed” manually, however, critical sprinklers are capped,
broken or blocked and the irrigation system is antiquated. “The remaining viable trees need water and maintenance,” Evans said. “Whomever is determining the ‘need’ for water has been proven wrong as evidenced by the dead and dying trees and vegetation. The sprinklers need to be repaired, blocking vegetation needs to be cleared, and watering needs to be increased significantly to save the remaining trees.” Evans said the watering policy decision has had damaging effects all over the city. In Balboa Park, the city lost 10 percent of the estimated 15,000 trees in the park to the drought. In June, Mayor Kevin Faulconer announced Tree Balboa Park, an effort that will bring 500 new trees and a new state-of-art irrigation system with help from a $378,300 grant from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection. Neighbor Gail Jacobson recalled a similar $750,000 grant the city received in late 2016 to plant 500 street trees in urban neighborhoods to boost the city’s tree canopy and help meet some goals of its Climate Action Plan. She said when taking into account the high cost to buy, plant and irrigate trees and given what they represent for the quality of life and the environment, the city needs to be looking at this issue from a more holistic view. “If trees are so important, let’s protect what we have,” Jacobson said, noting that there could be some unique irrigation solutions out there that the city could pursue. “If we won’t take care of the trees, they won’t take care of us.” Evans said that there needs to be some accountability from the city for the park getting to this state of disrepair. “This is a very caring, committed community that loves that park and loves those trees and that has not been tapped into at all,” Evans said. “There is no communication about what the plans are and what the budget restraints are. The park could be part of a community clean-up or the community could raise money to replant, there are a lot of things we can do to help but we don’t have that line of communication going. I’d like to get there as we address these more critical concerns.”
the backstretch, “I didn’t hear a single complaint from anybody,” Fravel said. Betting is the lifeblood of racing, and in that regard the Breeders’ Cup was never more successful than at Del Mar. According to Breeders’ Cup officials, the two-day, on-track wagering total was $25,181,317 — the highest ever for the event, which was expanded from one day to two in 2007. That handle was a 21.4 percent increase over the two-day total at Santa Anita in 2016. The total combined handle of on- and off-track betting for the two days was $166,077,486 — an increase of 5.9 percent over last year and the highest since the 2010 Breeders’ Cup at Churchill Downs, when there were two additional Breeders’ Cup races. The numbers are particularly impressive considering Del Mar attendance was capped at about 37,500 each day (Saturday’s crowd was announced at 37,692). Of the attendees, Fravel said more than 70 percent were from out of town. “Probably the one thing I worried about last week was if the on-track handle could match last year’s numbers,” Fravel said. “The fact that we grew by 21 percent is a huge tribute to the people who came, to their enthusiasm for the sport. That couldn’t have turned out any better.” Fravel credited the Del Mar vibe with being a factor in the wagering. “One of the things people said a lot is that everybody seems to be relaxed here,” he said. “People were having a good time and enjoying it. The people who come to Breeders’ Cups, they’re horse racing fans. They save up for this.” The handicapping at Del Mar turned out to be quite the puzzle, with only two favorites over 13 races winning. The first three winners on Saturday paid $36.60, $62.40 and $135.40 on $2 win tickets. “The Breeders’ Cup always has long shots win. They are incredibly hard races to predict,” Fravel said. “They’re a challenge because every horse in there is a quality contender. It doesn’t surprise me. It was fun to see some big payouts.” — Tod Leonard is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune
minimum rental would force most attendees to stay in hotels. “You created this issue, you created the division in this town,” Forest Way resident T. Patrick Stubbs told the council. “Historically, short-term rentals are woven into the fabric of this community. The fair predates you. The racetrack predates you. And the beach predates you. Vacation rentals have been around for as long as they’ve all been here. Last weekend, we said ‘Welcome to the Breeders’ Cup.’ With this, you’re saying ‘Don’t come back.’” Like many STR proponents who have watched the regulations take shape over the past six months, Lauren Raines was at a loss for new things to say despite it being her first time testifying to the council. “I know there’s a way to reach a reasonable resolution,” she said. “I know there is. And we’re all willing — like, very willing. But the fact that we’re still up here having the same conversation is like a soup sandwich on a stick: it makes no sense.” Above all else, they asked the city to take pause to research the issue and find a more inclusive compromise, as suggested in
September by the city’s planning commission and Coastal Commission staff. “Please stop. Collect the data. Actually do a compromise,” said 7th Street resident Debbie Church. “… Make a plan that eliminates the virtual hotels. Make a plan that removes any possible party houses. Just stop and make a plan that saves these historic vacation rentals without destroying our business district, without destroying the fabric of the beach colony in particular that has been a vacation town for the history of Del Mar.” After nearly 30 residents railed against the ordinance — with one speaker voicing support — three councilmembers responded with a multifaceted defense of the regulations. Councilwoman Ellie Haviland took particular issue with claims that the council is rushing the regulations through and ignoring Del Mar’s long history of vacation rentals. “No one’s ever said that didn’t exist. What we have today, though, is a completely different entity than what we had 30 years ago when I first moved here, or 20 years ago when I bought my first home. When you
introduce Airbnb and some of these other platforms in the last 10 years, it has completely changed the way people commercialize our residential neighborhoods,” she said. “… This is also not an issue for me about noise and trash. Of course there are solutions for noise and trash. This is about am I going to raise my children in a community of strangers or in a community of neighbors? That is the fundamental question at the heart of the large number of people who support what we’re trying to do here tonight.” Later in the evening, the council agreed on when to end the city’s April 2016 moratorium on short-term rentals. The moratorium has allowed homes that were being rented out prior to April 4, 2016 to continue renting without restriction. This summer, the council had discussed allowing the forbearance period to continue for as much as a year. But at the Nov. 6 session, the council unanimously agreed to end the forbearance period either when the Coastal Commission formalizes the LCP amendment or in 24 months from now, whichever is sooner.

two levels and a dance floor at the top, Brooks said. Only a few times a year does the ocean recede enough to give people a glimpse of the city’s past and its beginnings as a beach resort community. The best views are after large waves from winter storms have scoured some of the sand away. None of the timbers can be seen right now, Brooks said. But they are certain to return when the beach erodes again. “The pilings have survived 130-plus years of surf and sand erosion, so I believe they have a few more years to go,” he said. So far the city and the historical society have not posted any informational signs near the timbers, largely because of the limited access to view the sites from the property railroad property atop the bluff. An entrepreneur named Col. Jacob Shell Taylor built the hotel to attract travelers from around the state soon after the railroad completed its Los Angeles to San Diego route, according to a 1985 story in the Los Angeles Times. But just a few years after the hotel opened, a rainy winter washed out big chunks of the coastal railroad, and tourism plummeted, along with the Casa Del Mar’s occupancy rates. The hotel burned to the ground in 1890, leaving the owner under a cloud of suspicion. It’s unclear how much longer the beach structures lasted, but Taylor’s house burned down soon after the hotel. Then he quickly took off for Texas to open another hotel there. Del Mar’s original lease on the pilings property was for 25 years, at no cost except about $3,000 in one-time fees and the cost of liability insurance. Another condition of the agreement is that when it concludes, the city is required to remove the pilings. Council members agreed unanimously to renew the lease for 30 years. — Phil Diehl is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune
Thoroughbred Championships, which was hosted by Del Mar for the first time. “Del Mar, its staff and the community of San Diego absolutely shone for this Breeders’ Cup,” said Joe Harper, president and general manager of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. “I could not be more proud of the effort that was put forth by everyone at our racetrack and all the folks in San Diego who jumped on board for this marvelous event and made it into something spectacular. This was racing at its best; it was Del Mar at its best; and it was San Diego being all it could be. It was a complete winner.” Along with West Coast, several other horses with local connections competed in the Breeders’ Cup, including Paradise Woods (third-$2 million, Grade I Longines Breeders’ Cup Distaff; co-owned by Marty Wygod, Rancho Santa Fe); Finest

Rescue Express will also do charters for small rescue groups as long as they can fill the bus with 80 animals. There are many “happy tails” from the nearly 13,000 lives saved.

City (eighth-$1 million, Grade I Breeders’ Cup Filly & Mare Sprint; owned by Seltzer Thoroughbreds, Rancho Santa Fe); and Hunt (13th-$4 million, Grade I Longines Breeders’ Cup Turf; owned by Michael House, Rancho Santa Fe). The two-day attendance for the Breeders’ Cup was 70,420. For the comfort of its guests and because of Del Mar’s smaller capacity, Breeders’ Cup limited ticket sales to 37,500 for each day, according to a news release. The two-day on-track wagering total of $25,181,317 was the highest for the event, which expanded from one day to two in 2007, and was a 21.4 percent increase over the two-day total of $20,742,847 in 2016, when it was held at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia. Saturday’s full-card on-track handle of $15,981,250 was the highest since 2006, the last year the Breeders’ Cup Championships were conducted over one day. Fall season racing at Del Mar continues through Nov. 26.
otherwise. In addition to transporting animals, the nonprofit is also working to reduce the number of animals needing relocation with innovative initiatives targeting the sources of pet overpopulation, including support for low-cost spay/neuter programs and lobbying for improved local animal regulations and enforcement. While dogs and cats are the most common passengers, the Express has also carried pigs and bunnies and they will soon start partnering with a pigeon and dove rescue. There have been no problems in the transports, which McCarthy credits to his safety procedures for all traveling pets. When the bus returns it is cleaned and sterilized and prepared for the next trip. As the goal is for the bus to travel as
far as possible as quickly as possible so that the animals are not on the bus for too long, two staff members make the trip to take shifts driving — there is space on board for one staff member to rest. “We don’t charge rescue groups for service so we rely on donations,” said McCarthy. “We want to do more. The buses can go a long way, they are pretty economical, but we are in the process of designing an 18-wheeler.” The 18-wheeler would have room for 300 carriers so the Express would be able to take three times as many animals in one trip. The more lives he can save the better, McCarthy said. To learn more, visit Rescue Express at rescueexpress.org or contact Madeleine Gere at (760) 730-2106 or madeleine@rescueexpress.org.

Perhaps the biggest fear is that the guidelines on building size and massing will homogenize neighborhoods and diminish Del Mar’s eclectic architectural aesthetic. While councilmembers shared some of those concerns — and debated the extent to which the guidelines will become de facto regulations — they had high praise for the overall results. “If we waited until everybody in town was happy with this, we’d be debating this for another 10 years,” said Councilman Dwight Worden. “Somewhere in the continuum you have to say it’s good enough and we’re going to
FROM ATTORNEY, A4 court-ordered restitution and a fine. He was being supervised by a probation officer and working as a pilot, shuttling wealthy clients to a Mexican resort where he owns property, when he was contacted by the traffickers, according to court documents filed by prosecutors. His probation officer had approved several Mexican flights — with the required two weeks’ notice — but did not immediately reply when Macaluso asked if he could fly to the Dominican Republic on a day’s notice. On Nov. 10, 2016, he traveled to Tijuana without permission, then the next day to San Diego, and later to Orlando and Port-au-Prince, Haiti. (Prosecutors say the traffickers mistakenly thought Port-au-Prince was in the Dominican Republic.) Macaluso had been selected for the drug flight only after another plane, a Gulfstream II in Florida, was unable to leave the U.S. Investigators from the New York Police Department and the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration said in court documents that U.S. planes are desired for such work because traffickers think they attract less attention. In a motion filed before trial, prosecutors said Macaluso had met with the co-conspirators in Tijuana beginning in June 2016, months earlier. Prosecutors said Macaluso was introduced to Humberto “Mateo” Osuna Contreras and other drug dealers at the meeting by an unnamed employee of San Diego attorney John Kirby, who had partnered with Macaluso in the Mexican aviation business, according to the court documents. Kirby represented Macaluso in his fraud case. On Nov. 13, 2016, a co-conspirator was recorded by law enforcement as saying a crew member, “Mateo,” would be going along for

Flight records show the two men flew to Haiti the same day. In another recorded conversation the following day, co-conspirator Carlos Almonte Vasquez said the “chauffeur” would be arriving and that the “captain” knew “everything” but the co-pilot did not, according to the complaint. Once in Haiti, Macaluso, Osuna and Almonte met to finalize the plans, agreeing on $185,000 payment, most of which would go to Macaluso, the complaint says. Macaluso explained the structure of the jet and confirmed, in Spanish, it could hold “1,500 kilos,” documents state. Macaluso claims the conversation was not about drugs. Prosecutors said the plan was to pick up the cocaine in South America and then drop it off in Central America — a common tactic used by smugglers to get the drugs closer to Mexico, where they can then be smuggled by land into the United States. Haitian law enforcement arrested the men after the meeting. The trio was flown back to New York to face international drug distribution conspiracy charges. Macaluso maintains his cellphone, which was seized upon his arrest in Haiti, holds evidence proving his innocence, but the phone went missing. Osuna and Almonte pleaded guilty to the conspiracy charge in September, leaving Macaluso to face trial alone beginning Oct. 30. The jury deliberated for about an hour Friday, Nov. 3, before convicting him, according to the New York Daily News. His lawyer, Michael Gold, told the newspaper: “Mr. Macaluso was disappointed with the verdict but looks forward to being vindicated in future proceedings.” — Kristina Davis is a reporter for The San Diego Union-Tribune

upgrades to the central energy plant. Construction of the new tower is expected to begin in 2021 and conclude in 2024. The master plan also includes the construction of two Scripps MD Anderson outpatient cancer centers. One will be a new cancer center located at Scripps Mercy San Diego and the other will be an expansion of the Scripps Radiation Therapy Center in La Jolla. Work on the Scripps MD Anderson cancer center at Scripps Mercy will take place as part of that campus’ construction, while the timeline for the expansion work at the Scripps Radiation Therapy Center is yet to be determined. In addition, Scripps will continue to focus on providing the right care in the right setting by increasing access to outpatient care conveniently located in neighborhoods where patients live and work. Primary and specialty care services will be offered through a planned 85,000-square-foot Scripps Clinic facility on Jefferson Street in Oceanside and a renovated Gateway 2 Building in Chula Vista.

Ackerly said Kilroy thinks about sustainability in everything they do, from design to construction, leasing to accounting and beyond. He said they will continue to work at upgrading their buildings and pushing themselves and the market to do more on sustainability. “We look forward to pursuing even more aggressive sustainability initiatives in the future,” Neff said. “We thank all of our partners, and especially Nautilus Solar and Black Bear Energy, for all the work they put into making this day possible.”

San Dieguito Union High School District and McCarthy Construction break ground on the new performing arts center.
‘Dream come true’
Torrey Pines breaks ground on new performing arts center BY KAREN BILLING For the last 27 years, theater teacher Marinee Payne has been visualizing the day when Torrey Pines High School would finally get its performing arts center, as it was the only high school campus in the district without one. Payne said she shed tears all summer after the old campus buildings came down in preparation for the center to begin construction this fall. A groundbreaking ceremony was held Nov. 3 on the new 30,623-square-foot building that will be a new home to Torrey Pines Players, singers, dancers and musicians, a program with a history of 27 years and beyond of performers. “Thank you so much for a dream come true,” said a tearful Payne. “I’m going to have so much fun watching the dirt give birth to something beautiful.” The curtains are set to rise on the new $24 million performing arts center in 2019, which will feature a performing arts center building and music/dance building linked by a central plaza designed as a small outdoor performing space. The arts center will include a proscenium theater, a black box theatre, scene shop, green room, dressing rooms and other various auxiliary rooms in support of theater operations. The music building will include an office, seven practice rooms and an instrument storage room. The dance room will also have its own storage and an office. Additionally, the south wall of the music building will open up to the existing quad/amphitheater space for additional outdoor performance space. “Twenty-seven years ago, there was a dream. Twenty-seven years worth of students have

Theater teacher Marinee Payne with her “kids.” passed through that black box and they’ve lived that dream, they’ve believed that dream. Everything that they did, every contribution they made, every screw they screwed in, every stitch they stitched, every line that they learned was to build a dream,” Payne said. “Without those students that have come before and those that are here now, there would be no dream. This belongs to them, their hearts, souls, energy, time and the love they gave because they loved

the magic of the Box. They are the magic.” While to Payne the performing arts center is 27 years in the making, for the school it’s a project that has been 43 years in the making. Principal Rob Coppo said the groundbreaking was a very special moment for the school, students and the community, noting that the project would not be possible without Prop AA and all the voters who supported the bond initiative.

“This project embodies the spirit of Prop AA and the spirit of San Dieguito Union High School District in providing equal access and opportunities to all of our students, no matter what school they go to,” Superintendent Eric Dill said. Coppo, a former president of the Torrey Pines Players when he was a student, said he was thrilled that the program was finally getting the upgrade it deserved. He recalls the program’s early days in the lecture hall before moving the Black Box Theatre. “Without the arts program at Torrey Pines High School I wouldn’t be standing here right now, I’m a living example of the difference that the arts can make and the opportunities this very school provides,” Coppo said. “What happens at this campus is special and has been for a very long time and now not only will it be a new venue for talented thespians but dance and music programs will all also have new classrooms and share new homes for performances...the impact this space will have on [student] lives will be immeasurable.”

ASAP Urgent Care offers ease, affordability for patients
La Jolla Cultural Partners
Dr. Matthew Kurlan
COURTESY
At ASAP Urgent Care in Encinitas, the attention to patients is personal, quick and typically not as costly as an emergency room visit. Dr. Matthew Kurlan opened the office, at 519 Encinitas Blvd., Suite 106, eight years ago. The former emergency room physician of 15 years said he wanted to bring his ER experience to a more relaxed environment for patients. “I found that a lot of what I was taking care of in the emergency room could be treated a lot easier, faster and cheaper in urgent care,” he said. “When I started thinking about my office, I just had a blank sheet of paper and began thinking of what we really need to do and what we just do out of habit that’s not really necessary. We don’t do a lot of stuff that’s not needed, and that gives us more time to listen to stories and really get into what’s going on with patients.” Patients, on average, spend between 25 and 35 minutes at the urgent care office from the time they arrive to the time they leave. The office works on a walk-in basis only with no appointments.
Fees typically range between $78 and $94, most of the time. The office does not currently work with insurance, but that is something Kurlan said he is possibly looking into. Patients also have the option for a “super bill” that they can submit to their insurance companies for possible reimbursement. “You go to the hospital and it’s going to be more time and money than that,” said the doctor, who has been in practice for more than 20 years. Kurlan said he personally takes care of every patient — he can see up to 25 patients a day depending on the season — so patients only have to tell their stories once. Kurlan, who works with a staff of medical assistants, takes patients for many illnesses and injuries. Some of the most common conditions he treats are sinus infections, bronchial infections, urinary tract infections, sprained ankles, sprained wrists and stitching. He can also perform physical examinations. “The fact that I had training and experience in the ER allows me to
pick up, from time to time, patients that are a lot sicker than they realize and send them to the hospital,” Kurlan said. “Sometimes, they’ll end up being admitted or going to the operating room for something they thought was just a minor thing.” As the future of healthcare becomes more uncertain and complicated, Kurlan said he believes more people will turn to urgent care offices. “I think it’s hard to pass up the convenience factor,” he said. “Everybody is so busy that they don’t really want to spend time sitting in the waiting room for a long time to see someone. I think they kind of value their time, and that’s sort of what I’ve been aiming at. I want to show people they can come into my office, we’ll respect their time and we won’t waste time.” For more information about ASAP Urgent Care, visit asap-urgent-care.com or call 760-230-2727. — Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers.

Author struggled to put her Burmese family’s story on paper BY JOE TASH Charmaine Craig tried for years to write about her family’s history in Burma, now known as Myanmar. But it took her four tries to get it right, which she achieved in her 2017 novel, “Miss Burma.” First, as a teenager, she tried writing about the lives of her mother and maternal grandparents in poetry. Then, she tried her hand at a screenplay. Next came a novel set in the United States in which a mother tells the story to her American-born daughter. After five years, she tossed that book aside and recast the story as a third-person account set in Burma from 1926 through 1965. The result, “Miss Burma,” was published this year by Grove Atlantic. The novel is Craig’s second. “It was the greatest challenge of my life and something I knew I had to do,” said Craig, a professor of creative writing at UC Riverside who lives in Los Angeles with her husband and daughters. Craig spoke to a reporter and also met with a Torrey Pines High School creative writing class on Thursday, Nov. 2, before addressing the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar resort in Carmel Valley. An editor who read the earlier version of her book urged her to bring out the story of Burma in her novel, which freed her to tell the story of her family in a way that felt right to her. “It closely cleaves to the actual story of my family members in Burma,” she said. Her grandfather, who was Jewish, married a woman who was a member of Burma’s Karen minority, a group that was persecuted by the majority ethnic Burmans. Her grandfather, Benny, was an architect of

the Karen revolution, which led to a long-running civil war between Burma’s ethnic majority and several of its minority groups. Along the way, her grandfather was “disappeared,” tortured and imprisoned, and later put under house arrest. Her grandmother, Khin, struggled to raise the couple’s four children, including Craig’s mother, Louisa Benson Craig. Her mother’s story was also fascinating; as a teenager, she entered beauty pageants and twice won the title of “Miss Burma.” She went on to star in Burmese films. “She became kind of like the Marilyn Monroe of Burma. Wherever she went, people recognized her,” Craig said. Later, after her rebel husband was assassinated, she cut off her hair, donned a set of fatigues, and took over command of her late husband’s militia group. In 1967, she remarried (an American she had

met while attending college in the U.S.), and emigrated to the United States. In the late 1980s, she worked as an activist for Burmese causes from the U.S. She died in 2010. During her research for the book, Craig spent about two years interviewing her mother, who tried to describe her experiences, but had difficulty relating the emotional toll that she endured or her motivations, Craig said. At one time, the government of Burma had put a price on her mother’s head. “I took the novelistic leap and really imagined my way into her skin,” Craig said. She also pored through de-classified CIA and U.S. State Department documents, building a picture of Burma during the years before her mother, and later her grandfather, came to America. The result is an intimate look at the lives of her mother and grandparents, against a backdrop of war and political turmoil in

Burma. The book’s first chapter begins, “When, nearly twenty years earlier, Louisa’s father saw her mother for the first time, toward the end of the jetty at the seaport of Akyab – that is, when he saw her hair, a black shining sheath that reached past the hem of her dress to her muddy white ankles, he reminded himself, God loves each of us, as if there were only one of us.” At the same time, she sought in the book to tell a story of an ethnic majority’s persecution of minority groups. ‘“Miss Burma’ is a story about the consequences of ethnic majority nationalism,” Craig said, a tale that continues in Myanmar today, with the persecution of the Muslim minority Rohingya people. The country’s de facto leader is Aung San Suu Kyi, the daughter of General Aung San, who led the battle for independence from the British, which was achieved in 1948. In spite of winning the Nobel Peace Prize in 1991 for her pro-democracy work, Suu Kyi has been criticized in recent years for failing to speak up for the Rohingya and other minorities in Myanmar, and against their mistreatment at the hands of the nation’s powerful army. Craig followed in her mother’s footsteps, launching a career as a television and film actress in the 1990s. But she stepped away from the camera in favor of the pen when she kept getting cast as an “exotic” girlfriend and outer space alien, she said. “Writing afforded me dignity,” she wrote in an article published earlier this year.

Now at 242 Chapters nationwide, NCL continues the organization’s commitment to making positive and lasting impacts in local communities. The Moonlight Chapter is the ninth chapter in San Diego County and will cater to mothers and daughters who reside or attend school in North San Diego County. With 82 members already registered, the Moonlight Chapter will be finalizing its founding membership by Dec. 1. In addition to participating in national NCL philanthropic initiatives, the chapter’s inaugural members will have the opportunity to choose which local organizations they will support through

Helen Woodward Animal Center lends a paw to the homeless and their loving companions Helen Woodward Animal Center recently announced the kickoff of Pets Without Walls – its latest program dedicated to the mission of “People helping animals, animals helping people.” The program (newest among the center’s efforts to make the world a happier place for people and pets) will provide pet food, vaccinations, spays and neuters, pet supplies, and additional items and services as needed, to the dogs and cats who reside with homeless families at the city’s industrial tent site. Chain restaurant operator and partner at Paradigm Investment Group LLC, Dan Shea, approached Helen Woodward Animal Center about the current massive efforts being made to improve the lives for the local homeless. Helen Woodward Animal Center officially began its partnership on Tuesday, Nov. 7, with the first of its bi-weekly visits at the new tent site providing children’s crafts and lessons, animal services, and a donation drop off. In September, Mayor Kevin Faulconer announced the plan to use large industrial tents, equipped with restrooms, hand-washing stations, showers, and supportive services, to get hundreds of homeless people off the streets of San Diego and back on their feet. The plan was the brain child of Dan Shea and Padres Managing Partner, Peter Seidler, who met with city officials for months on the plan to use 250-capacity industrial tents as a way of immediately sheltering people living on the street. The Alpha Project has been put in charge of overseeing the incredible efforts being made on the project and Feeding San Diego volunteered to provide lunches to residents. The current arrangement consists of tents set up in a former parking lot, now fenced, and separated into areas for women and children, families and single men. By Thanksgiving, the city hopes to have erected “Sprung” locations – giant “tent structures” able to shelter an even larger number of San Diego’s homeless. The plan comes at an important time as City Councilman David Alvarez recently announced a state of emergency for homelessness with a count of 9,116, a 5

Adding to the sense of urgency, the recent hepatitis outbreak has left a growing number of homeless people dead over the past 10 months. Helen Woodward Animal Center is honored to join these efforts by helping families keep their furry companions fed and healthy. The center’s program, “Pets Without Walls” will provide health checks, microchipping, preventative medical care, important vaccinations, flea and tick medication, and pet food (through an extension of its AniMeals program). In the current location, Helen Woodward Animal Center will assist approximately 25 dogs and a few cats but with the opening of the “Sprung” structure the number of pets is anticipated to reach over 200. For questions, please contact Helen Woodward Animal Center at 858-756-4117 or www.animalcenter.org. — Submitted press release

Carmel Valley Artists Annual Winter Show & Sale Nov. 18 San Dieguito Art Guild presents the Carmel Valley Artists Annual Winter Show & Sale, Saturday, Nov. 18. The event will be held from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Karl Strause Brewing Company, 9675 Scranton Road, San Diego. Admission and parking are free. Returning artists include Stephanie Sibley with her jellies and preserves, Lorelei Green with her pavane jewelry, Diane Gevertz with her fabricated jewelry, Bonnie Bowman with her hand made clothing, Carol Korfin with her fused glass, Karen Fidel with her pottery, and Karen Hung with her sterling and gold jewelry. New this year are Grace Swanson with her gourd art, Marsha Rafter with her mosaics, Ursula Schroter and Virginia Holt with their silks, as well as oil painters and photographers.
Over 30 artists are part of this show and sale. Carol Korfin, one of the event organizers, says, “This event gives local artists a venue to offer their hand-made items to the public. And gives the shoppers a chance to purchase one-of-a-kind artworks, which cannot be found in the malls. There are no imported items at this Show and Sale. In addition, the buyer is purchasing work directly from the artist and can meet them face to face.” The San Dieguito Art Guild, an over-200-member all-volunteer nonprofit organization that operates the Off Track Gallery located in the Lumberyard Shopping Center in Encinitas, serves the community by frequently offering art workshops, classes and demonstrations by outstanding professional
artists. Run by a board of 15 elected Directors, SDAG was organized in 1965 by a group of artists for the purpose of promoting greater understanding and appreciation of the fine arts. Guild President Lin Holzinger says, “Even if you have been to the Carmel Valley Artists Annual Winter Show & Sale in the past, there are new artists and new items to see.” Holzinger says, “We try to have a balanced mix of medium, so you will find fine jewelry, hand-painted silk, photography, paintings and as hand made holiday ornaments.” For more information, visit SanDieguitoArtGuild.com, call 760-942-3636, or contact pr@sandieguitoartguild.com.
Village Church Alternative Christmas Market Nov. 19 helps those in need San Diegans will have a unique chance to broaden their gift giving during the holiday season by attending the Alternative Christmas Market held at the Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe on Sunday, Nov. 19. Shoppers can choose from a wide array of gifts designed to change the lives of the less fortunate -- a $25 donation buys a backpack filled with school supplies for a child in Syria. Last year, participants in the Market helped to raise more than $100,000 for two dozen local and global charities that partner with the church on a regular basis. All of the money raised goes directly to mission partners, including Care House serving San Diego’s homeless children, Amor Ministries that builds homes for Mexico’s poorest families and the Outreach Foundation, which works with local churches to develop schools and expand education in several communities throughout Kenya. The Alternative Christmas Market will be held from 9 a.m. to noon on Sunday, Nov. 19 in the Village Church Fellowship Center, 6225 Paseo Delicias, Rancho Santa Fe, Calif. 92067.

Let’s talk turkey and other fowls (Part 2)
I
’d like to continue with the fowl dialogue from last week’s column to help you navigate through the shoals of birdland so you can prepare and enjoy an elegant and scrumptious Thanksgiving meal with a non-turkey poultry taking the place of honor at the holiday table.
Coming Home to Roost
The capon, la-di-da, once a luxury bird enjoyed by upper-crust European families for Christmas dinner, has now become a popular (and affordable) offering in this country during the holiday season. Alas, the capon is a rooster that has been castrated before puberty, which reduces the testosterone levels, turning its brawn into blubber. This slightly gamy-tasting bird has a high proportion of white (breast) to dark meat that is more fatty, flavorful and tender than its un-neutered counterparts. Weighing between 6 to 10 pounds, the succulent capon is larger than a chicken and smaller than a turkey best prepared like a broiler either roasted or braised, usually in red wine with wild mushrooms, or lemon thyme. Serve with roasted roots or fingerlings, and cranberry orange relish, though the capon is moist, and doesn’t need sauces or gravies.
Hail to the Quail
Dainty quail, small ground-nesting birds comprising 46 species, while sharing a common ancestor, are all distant relatives. For some reason, the tender, delicate-flavored bird is intimidating to many cooks who will order the dish at fine dining establishments, but are leery to prepare it at home. As an average quail weighs roughly 5 ounces (bones and all), it is best served whole and stuffed (with fresh fennel, pecans, dried cherries and French breadcrumbs), one for each guest as an elegant Thanksgiving change up. Whether smoked, grilled, roasted or braised, this pint-size poultry is done to perfection when the flesh is firm to the touch and the juices run clear.
Combo Plate
The decadent culinary concept of stuffing smaller animals inside of larger ones harks back to glutinous emperors of the mighty Roman Empire. These entertaining gustatory art works continued throughout the centuries, and became known as “Russian doll roasts,” since these concoctions were reminiscent of Matryoshka nesting dolls. In the Napoleonic era, a French lawyer cum gastronome extraordinaire, Alexandre-Laurent Grimod de La Reyniere,
hosted lavish dinner parties and launched a food lover’s almanac featuring an outlandish creation he called, “roti sans pareil,” that translates to “roast without equal.” A large bustard was stuffed with a turkey, followed by a goose, a pheasant, a chicken, a duck, a guinea fowl, along with other wild game, and finishing with diminutives, including the quail and lark. This culinary lollapalooza was the precursor to the modern Turducken, which humbles in comparison. Turducken eases a deboned chicken into a deboned duck, into a deboned turkey with assorted stuffings, such as sausage, oyster and cornbread swathed between the fowl lawyers. In Britain, the Gooducken is a popular holiday dish, replacing the turkey with a goose. If you really want to pig out, another variation called “fowl de cochon” crams a whole turducken into a small deboned swine.
Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Turkey Bacon
Faux Fowls
■ Ingredients: 2 pounds fresh Brussels sprouts, trimmed, halved lengthwise; 6 ounces turkey bacon, diced; 8 shallots, diced; juice and zest from one Meyer lemon; 1/3-cup extra virgin olive oil; 2 tablespoons balsamic syrup or glaze
Swan Song
■ Method: Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. In a small bowl, whisk together oil, lemon juice, shallots, salt and pepper. In a large mixing bowl, add Brussels sprouts and bacon, and toss with dressing until well coated. Add mixture to a cookie sheet, spreading evenly. Bake for about 20 minutes or until tender and golden. Drizzle balsamic glaze and sprinkle with lemon zest. Enjoy hot or cold.
For those who don’t do bird, there’s the classic Tofurky, a whole mock tofu (soybean) turkey with traditional seasonings to replicate the real McCoy. Other options include seitan or “wheat meat” made from the grain protein (gluten) that resembles meat in taste and texture, or mushrooms, beets, carrots, parsnips, and other roots cleverly disguised as a whole bird or stuffed loaf. While the swan was served at the inaugural Thanksgiving feast at Plymouth, Massachusetts today this graceful yet destructive bird is considered taboo across the lands as a culinary offering. It is even illegal to eat, particularly in England where the swan is the property of Her Majesty, granted protected status.

SPONSORED COLUMNS DR. VAN CHENG San Diego Vein Institute 760.944.9263
Is Your Doctor Qualified to Treat Your Varicose Veins? Have you recently gone to your dentist’s office to see a sign posted that she now offers Botox? Does your OBGYN now offer laser treatment for telangiectasias? Is your family practitioner suddenly treating varicose veins in his office? More than ever, there is an uptick in the number of doctors expanding their practices to include cosmetic procedures. Sure, you might want to trust the doctor you’ve been seeing for years, and it’s convenient to go to one place to address all your medical and cosmetic concerns. And it’s okay, since they are MDs, right?
Why not all doctors are qualified Medical professionals have their
areas of study. But some, enticed by the promise of expanded business (and income), get quick weekend training or conference certification. Some claim that since they already have a medical degree, that it is perfectly safe for them to administer what they see as cosmetic treatment. But board-certified dermatologists, cosmetic surgeons, and especially phlebologists have an expertise to see beyond shortcuts and know exactly how to treat a specific condition. Skin and veins require additional, highly specialized expertise, and it takes more than 4-day-long workshops to acquire that. Proficiently handling lasers and injections is its own area of expertise, as well, which requires a lot of education, training, and experience.
Beware the med spa Not all med spas are created equal. Some will have trained MDs, dermatologists, and phlebologists on staff. But that doesn’t mean you will be treated by those people. And while
some do use highly trained nurse practitioners to administer lasers and injections, plenty of places use less-than-qualified or barely-trained assistants. Some of these are looking for a lucrative opportunity to cash in on the cosmetic enhancement craze, but they only have minimal training. To get around this, they refer to themselves as “aesthetic specialists,” and instead of “patients,” they have “clients.” Most med spas employ aestheticians, who are trained skin care professionals. There are different types of certifications to practice, but most are not medically trained. For the most part, they may be licensed to perform facials, body treatments, wraps, rejuvenation therapies, spray tanning, and hair removal. There is also a category of medical aestheticians, who work under plastic surgeons and dermatologists to perform chemical peels, advanced hair removal, microdermabrasion, and laser treatments. Their business is beauty— not health.
Look to these local authorities for professional guidance on daily living at lajollalight.com/our-columns/
What can go wrong There are reports of some professionals misusing sclerotherapy, or causing severe burns from mishandling a laser. Some patients have reported severe reactions to treatment or having botched procedures that have left large scars. Dermatologists are reporting an increase in their “repair” procedures to fix work done by unqualified (or underqualified) professionals, both MDs and aesthetic specialists. And remember with varicose veins: these are a medical condition. You want your sclerotherapy treatment done by a trained phlebologist or vein specialist with plenty of experience and expertise in treating veins. If you have more questions about the sclerotherapy procedure or are ready to consider sclerotherapy to remove your varicose veins, visit us at www.sdveininstitute.com or contact us at 760-944-9263.

If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.
