DMUSD to consider polling for bond on November ballot

BY KAREN BILLING At its Jan. 20 meeting, the Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) board gave direction to move forward in hiring a polling firm as they decide whether or not to go for a general obligation bond or school facilities improvement district (SFID) on the November 2016 ballot. At the board’s February meeting it will look at the costs associated with a poll and weigh them against the value and benefits.

The board was a little hesitant as its last polling, before its 2012 general obligation bond, informed them they would have a high guarantee to pass the bond. The bond failed, receiving 53 percent of the 55 percent approval requirement.

The cost of the survey last time was about $40,000.

“I don’t like spending money on polls,” board member Darren Gretler said.

“But it does shine light on how the community feels instead of flying blind.”

The board was hopeful that the recommended sample size of 600

community members would answer the call and respond to polling.

Should the district opt to proceed in February, polling could occur in April aiming toward a July decision by the board on whether to order an election.

At the Jan. 20 meeting, the board heard a presentation from Adam Bauer of Fieldman, Rolapp & Associates on DMUSD’s potential GO bond or a SFID, which is essentially a GO Bond but just carving up the district into different boundaries. Only voters within the SFID vote and only the people in the SFID are taxed to pay the bonds.

Bauer said a successful district-wide GO bond in November 2016 would allow the district to issue $175 million bond, at an estimated tax rate of $29.25 per $100,000 of assessed value. The estimated tax for an average assessed value homeowner would be $292 a year.

Board member Erica Halpern said it should be noted that just because they could generate $175 million SEE BALLOT, A17

School district surveys voters on bond

BY KRISTINA HOUCK A few hundred people were recently surveyed to help the Solana Beach School District decide whether to place a general obligation bond on the ballot this year.

Encinitas-based True North Research conducted the poll throughout December.

Although the results are still being analyzed, the school board received a status report on the poll during the Jan. 14 meeting.

Of the 19,433 likely voters in the district’s boundaries, 300 people were randomly

selected to participate in the poll. Interviews were conducted over the phone, with 40-50 percent of respondents on mobile devices.

“We’re in a time right now where not everybody has a landline anymore, so it was a split between landlines and mobile phones,” Superintendent Terry Decker said.

True North Research used a computer-assisted system called CATI, or Computer Assisted Telephone Interviewing, to conduct the interviews. The system alerts SEE BOND, A18

Council gets look at early concepts for Del Mar Shores Park Community to weigh in during March 13 workshop

BY KRISTINA HOUCK The City Council recently got its first look at what Del Mar Shores Park could look like after a master plan is completed for the site.

Schmidt Design Group, the design consultants hired to produce the plan, presented three “bubble diagrams” during the Jan. 19 council meeting, in an effort to confirm the

early concepts align with the community’s vision for the park. The long-range plan will guide the development of the 5.3-acre city-owned park, which is bounded

by Camino del Mar, Ninth Street and Stratford Court.

Schmidt Design Group’s presentation on the project’s progress kicked off the final phase of the

three-part master plan process.

The first phase, called the “discover” phase, began in fall 2014 to learn how people want to use the park. Input was gathered from interest group interviews, informational pop-up booths, an online survey, an online information-gathering tool called MindMixer, and the first Plan Your

Park workshop in May 2015.

Combined, these helped the consultants identify seven guiding principles and a list of potential park amenities.

The second “imagine” phase looked at the character and style of amenities, as well as layout ideas for the park. Community members again shared their thoughts during a second workshop in October.

Board votes against city plastic bag ban

BY KAREN BILLING The Torrey Hills Community Planning Board voted not to support the city of San Diego’s proposed plastic bag ban. At the board’s Jan. 19 meeting, a motion to support the city ordinance failed and the board voted 9-3 in favor of sending a letter to the city detailing its concerns about the ban.

With the city’s proposed Single-Use Carryout Bag Reduction Ordinance, the goal is to reduce the environmental impacts associated with plastic bags and plastic bag litter. The ordinance would prohibit stores from distributing plastic bags and to charge 10 cents for each paper bag provided to customers.

The stores impacted by the ordinance would be stores of at least 10,000 square feet of retail space, supermarkets, grocery stores, drug stores, convenience food stores and pharmacies.

Product bags, plastic bags without handles to carry meat, produce or other food items, would not be regulated.

The majority of the board did not support the 10 cent fee for paper bags as the money would go toward administrative costs and is unnecessary to achieve the ordinance’s goals and the fee would be a financial burden to customers.

“I have no objection to banning plastic bags, I do have an issue with being charged 10 cents to use the paper bag. The cost is being directly passed to the consumer on top of historically high food prices,” board member Brian Britt said.

The majority of the board felt like Britt, that there should be no charge for recyclable paper bags.

Currently, 145 counties and cities in California have banned plastic bags, including the cities of Solana Beach and Encinitas. Board members Brad Fagan, Elaine Sampson and Todd Saier were the three votes against the board’s motion to send the letter in opposition.

“I shop often in Solana Beach and (the ban) seems very successful there,” Sampson said, noting she always has plenty of re-usable bags on hand. “I don’t ever have a problem with it.”

Water board suspends penalties for customers, raises employee pay

BY JOE TASH Customers of the Santa Fe Irrigation District will no longer face penalties for using more than their monthly allotment of water, after the district's board of directors voted to suspend a controversial water allocation program.

The district established the allocation program — a form of water rationing — for the first time in its 93-year history in May, following a state mandate that the agency cut its water use by 36 percent, or face daily fines of up to $10,000. At the time, California was grappling with a four-year drought. The restrictions resulted in some district customers receiving penalties of hundreds of dollars, according to testimony at the board's meeting on Thursday, Jan. 21.

Earlier this month, state water regulators announced that the mandated cutbacks would be eased in recognition of the new seawater desalination plant that came online in December. Santa Fe officials said they expect their water-use reduction target to be lowered to 28 percent in February.

"This is good news," district general manager Mike Bardin told the board Thursday. While he said San Diego County water officials want reduction targets to be lowered even further, "it is progress and it's going in the right direction."

Under the water allocation program adopted by the board last year, residents were required to cut their outdoor water use by 45 percent, or face penalties. The board voted Jan. 21 to suspend that program on a 5-0 vote, noting that conditions are changing, including more rainfall this winter, brought on by warmer ocean temperatures known as an El Niño condition.

Officials praised customers for cutting back their water use by an average of more than 30 percent each month since the restrictions were imposed, and noted that further cutbacks are especially difficult during the winter months, when water use is already low.

The district left in place mandatory water-use restrictions, including a prohibition on watering more than twice a week, or for more than 10 minutes at a time. Car-washing in driveways is also banned. Violations of the rules carry fines, which escalate for repeat offenses.

During public comment on the item, some speakers urged the

board to sue the state because its mandated cutbacks are unfair.

Water officials in San Diego County, including those with Santa Fe, have said the state mandates fail to take into account measures taken to bolster local water supplies, such as transfers of conserved water from the Imperial Valley. The speakers noted that San Diego County does not face a water shortage, and has, in fact, increased its reservoir storage over the past year Board president Mike Hogan said smaller water districts such as Santa Fe have limited resources to take the state to court, but that the San Diego County Water Authority, the county's water wholesaler, will consider such legal action in a closed session at an upcoming meeting. The water authority is made up of 24 member agencies, including Santa Fe. In other action, the board voted 3-2, with directors Greg Gruzdowich and Marlene King opposed, to give a one-time bonus of $5,000 to General Manager Bardin for his work in response to the California drought and the state's mandated water-use cutbacks. In a recommendation to the full board, President Hogan noted that under a 2014 contract amendment, Bardin is not eligible for a raise for two years.

Bardin's current annual salary is $213,140, according to the district.

The board also voted Jan. 21 to approve a 5 percent salary increase for management employees to be spread out over the next three years, beginning this month. The cost of the increase over the next three years will be $46,250, according to a board report.

An identical increase was approved by the board for district employees in a closed session at its December meeting. The raise will cost $372,000 over three years, according to the district.

During the current fiscal year, the district's total labor budget is $6.1 million. Director Greg Gruzdowich cast the lone "no" vote on the raises for both managers and employees. At Thursday's meeting, he said the district has a great work force, but that in a time when district customers face the likelihood of steep rate increases in the coming year, the district should be looking to cut costs. "I think it's the wrong signal to send at this particular time," he said.

Del Mar bans medical marijuana

BY KRISTINA HOUCK The city of Del Mar has prohibited the cultivation, delivery, distribution and processing of medical marijuana in the city — at least temporarily.

The Del Mar City Council on Jan. 19 adopted an urgency ordinance with a 4-0 vote to ban medical marijuana commercial cultivation, delivery, distribution and processing. Councilman Al Corti abstained from the vote.

The city needed to take action before March, when laws passed last year by the California State Legislature would allow the state to step in and regulate medical marijuana. In recent weeks, cities throughout San Diego County have adopted new rules or strengthened ordinances already in place to maintain local control.

The council of neighboring city Solana Beach voted unanimously on Jan. 13 to prohibit medical marijuana cultivation, deliveries and dispensaries.

“This is a strange situation because this urgency ordinance is basically a placeholder for taking action on the state legislation and retaining the ability to have some local control of those regulations that are specific for Del Mar,” explained Councilman Don Mosier. “I don’t see this as a pro or con about the uses of medical

marijuana. I see this as a legislative action to preserve our options to be able to tweak the state legislation to better suit Del Mar citizens.”

The state passed a series of bills in September, collectively referred to as the Medical Marijuana Regulation and Safety Act, that established a licensing system for medical marijuana cultivation, delivery and dispensing activities throughout the state. Cities that don’t have rules in place by March 1 will be subject to state guidelines.

Del Mar voters in 2012 defeated an initiative that would have allowed medical marijuana dispensaries in the city.

In response to the recent state legislation, the council adopted the urgency ordinance, but also directed city staff to study the benefits of the state legislation and how it would work in Del Mar. Two of the three people who spoke before the council did not support the ban.

Del Mar mother-and-son Linda and Tyler Strause said medical marijuana helped their husband and father before he died from brain cancer six years ago.

“We’re concerned about safe access for qualified patients that benefit from medical cannabis,” Linda

Strause said.

“Medical marijuana provided Randy, a husband and a father, the ability to have some quality of life while dying, and some dignity in his death,” she added.

“Isn’t that what we really all would like?”

Resident Phyllis Cardon, however, said she did not “want anything to do with marijuana or any other drug” in Del Mar. Cardon said she lost a family member to drug addiction and did not want her 27 grandchildren to be exposed to drugs in any way.

“I want them to feel safe in the time that they spend here in Del Mar,” she said.

Some council members said they supported the use of medical marijuana use, but needed to pass the urgency ordinance to preserve the city’s options.

“When you talk about providing medical marijuana and enjoying the positive benefits, it’s a substance that needs to be regulated and quantitated, and that’s part of the state legislation,” Mosier said. “We are moving in the right direction, but unfortunately, this urgency ordinance just provides us the option to get a little more time to study how we want to regulate medical marijuana in Del Mar and how the state legislations are going to work.”

CV woman pleads guilty to stabbing her mother

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A woman who fatally stabbed her 73-year-old mother during a quarrel in their Carmel Valley home last year pleaded guilty Jan. 20 to voluntary manslaughter.

Lara Epstein, 51, will be sentenced on Feb. 24 to 12 years in state prison.

Epstein, according to family members,

had been dealing with some mental health issues. She moved into the Carmel Valley residence some time before killing Svetlana Gurinova, and there was tension between the mother and daughter, said Deputy District Attorney Scott Pirrello.

Last June 16, while other family members were out of town, the

defendant called to say there was some kind of problem, Pirrello said.

Police were called about 10:30 p.m. and found the victim on the laundry room floor.

Authorities said Gurinova had stab wounds to the head, neck and chest and had been severely beaten. Plastic bags were covering the victim's head and feet,

and an effort had been made to clean up the scene, Purrello said.

A large kitchen knife and a metal meat tenderizer mallet were found in the home, the prosecutor said.

Epstein, who was born in Russia but is a U.S. citizen, made some "rambling'" statements to police and was arrested at the scene, he said.

Group improves trail in Carmel Valley Thanks to donors to the Friends of Gonzales Canyon, a trail improvement project has been completed around the Torrey Highlands Dog Park behind Torrey Pines, across from the canyon trailhead.

According to Eric Bowlby of San Diego Canyonlands, this project was needed to improve safety and separate trail users from the off-leash dog park area. The contractor that built the fence said "...at least 20 people approached us to ask what we were doing. Once we explained, every person was excited and grateful for the improvements."

In addition to the Gonzales Canyon donors, the Friends group would also like to thank the city’s Open Space Rangers and Maintenance Assessment District Committee for their work to SEE TRAIL, A18

Solana Beach leader participates in climate talks in Paris Deputy Mayor Peter Zahn reflects on the climate change agreement

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although the second smallest city in San Diego County, Solana Beach had its very own representative during the United Nations Conference on Climate Change in Paris.

Also known as the 21st Conference of Parties or COP21, the Nov. 30 to Dec. 11 climate talks brought people from 196 countries together to discuss saving the planet. Among them was Solana Beach Deputy Mayor Peter Zahn, who praised the historic climate change agreement that was approved.

“A lot of us are very happy with how it went, but now the hard work starts,” Zahn said. “Every single country came in with a pledge and detailed information about how they are going to accomplish their goals around climate change — but they’re not easy. It’s going to take changes in the way we live.”

Zahn was part of a delegation called the Natural Resources Defense Council, a New York City-based nonprofit international environmental advocacy group.

Having known people from the nonprofit through their international work, Zahn volunteered to join them in Paris.

He arrived for the second week of the talks.

“Not only was it good to be with them, but they really are so knowledgeable about what’s going on,” he said. “It made my experience more valuable to be working with them.”

Zahn also spent time with members of the sizable delegation from the state of California. Led

by Gov. Jerry Brown, the delegation included local leaders such as Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins (D-San Diego).

Just prior to state officials arriving in Paris, California pledged to make all new passenger vehicles sold in the state zero-emission by 2050. The state joined with 12 partners in Europe and North America in the pledge, including Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island and Vermont in the United States; Québec in Canada; and Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and the United Kingdom

“I was fortunate to be involved with their group as well. They just did a great job representing California,” Zahn said.

“It was really great to be an elected official from the state of California in the midst of all that was going on,” he added. “It was a really eye-opening experience, and an exhilarating one.”

Zahn participated in several meetings and other events, among many different interests groups

advocating their positions on the matter.

“We were, in essence, advocating for an agreement that would be most favorable to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and the devastating impacts of climate change,” he recalled.

Delegates from 196 countries approved the landmark climate accord on Dec. 12 to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The overarching goal of the Paris Agreement is to reduce pollution levels so that the rise in global temperatures is limited to no more than 2 degrees Celsius, or 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit, above pre-industrial averages. The agreement also aims to restrict the temperature increase even further, to 1.5 degrees C, if possible.

“It’s really very strong,” Zahn said. “A lot of people in the scientific community believe that global temperature increase that’s over 2 degrees Celsius is going to have devastating, irreversible impact.”

The planet has already been impacted, and learning about the damage during the conference, Zahn said, was hard to hear.

“I hadn’t realized the full extent of it, but there were many presentations from scientists all

over the world,” said Zahn, noting that La Jolla-based Scripps Institution of Oceanography was one of the many presenters.

From ongoing droughts to rising sea levels, the effects of climate change are evident around the globe. Representatives from small island countries, for example, shared how their homes are being overcome by sea level rise, Zahn said.

“It’s pretty intense and it’s very real,” he said. “There’s already relocations going on.”

Locally, Solana Beach is doing its part.

Shortly before Zahn left for his nine-day trip, the council agreed to join the Compact of Mayors.

Created at the 2014 United Natation Climate Summit, the Compact of Mayors is the world’s largest coalition of city leaders addressing climate change by pledging to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, tracking their progress and preparing for the impacts of climate change. A total of 449 cities, representing more than 391 million people worldwide have already committed to the Compact of Mayors, according to the coalition’s website.

CPUC to hold Feb. 2 forum on new electricity rates The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) will hold a community forum in San Diego to discuss and answer questions about the CPUC’s July 2015 decision to significantly change residential electricity rates, including the requirement that starting in 2019 all residential customers will be offered time of use rates as a default.

The rate design forum will be held on Feb. 2 at 6 p.m. at The Jacobs Center, 404 Euclid Ave. The CPUC’s July 2015 decision transitioned the state’s residential electricity rates to a more effective and cost-based structure, empowering consumers

with more opportunities to conserve, and promoting resource optimization and grid reliability.

At this public forum, the CPUC will discuss time of use rates, the transition from four to two rate tiers, the economic and environmental benefits of these new rates, and the CPUC’s plans to work closely with utilities and communities throughout California to ensure that consumers are ready for these changes.

Helen Nordan, event chair, said she is pleased with the response from the community thus far. "We have received some really great items including jewelr y, restaurant gift cards, golf packages, a hosted dinner party, and items for the home," she

states. "We are still working hard to obtain more items, but we are off to a strong start and we are excited about this year’s items."

The Foundation welcomes the help of its parent community at large in widening the committee’s reach. "If any Falcon parents have connections with local merchants or have an idea for something new, we would love to hear from them." says Nordan. "More community input and involvement can only make our online auction more successful."

The committee is also looking for timeshares or vacation homes which can be paired with other items to make highly sought-after packages for the Live Auction held during the event.

If you have a vacation home or any other item you would like to donate, please contact the Foundation Office at (858) 793–3551 or email Holly.Coughlin@sduhsd.net. There are committee volunteers who are willing to pick up items from anywhere in San Diego County.

Science Discovery Day provides Solana Vista students with a unique learning experience

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Solana Vista Elementary students recently became scientists for a day.

In an ongoing effort to get students excited about science, the Solana Beach school on Jan. 15 partnered with Mad Science of San Diego to bring hands-on workshops and assemblies to students.

“Children are naturally curious about the world around them, so we want to give them opportunities to explore that curiosity,” said Stephanie Anastasopoulos, Solana Beach School District’s teacher on special assignment for STREAM Integration. STREAM stands for science, technology, research, engineering, art and math.

Solana Vista has celebrated Science Discovery Day for a decade. Transitional kindergarten and kindergarten students participated in the activities this year, making it the first time the entire school took part in Science Discovery Day. More than 450 students attended a 45-minute assembly and participated in a variety of workshops and other classroom activities.

Through the workshops, transitional kindergarten and kindergarten students learned about machines and weather.

First-grade students learned about animals and chemical reactions. Second- and third-grade students learned about current events, the human body, light and fossils, among other subjects.

“Every year the students look forward to spending time on science all day,” said second-grade teacher Stephanie Schroeder.

Every student at Solana Vista participated in Science Discovery Day this year.

Instructors with Mad Science led the activities. Founded in 1995, Mad Science of San Diego offers science-related assemblies and events, in-class workshops, preschool programs, after-school programs, camps and parties.

More than 150,000 people have participated in the company’s after-school programs, according to its website.

“Students and staff loved the opportunity to explore with real-life scientists and construct multiple take home artifacts,” said Taylor Lynch, the school’s teacher on special assignment for STREAM Integration. He coordinated the daylong event.

PHOTOS BY TAYLOR LYNCH

“Discovery continued through the Martin Luther King, Jr. Day holiday weekend as these hands-on tools became vehicles for students to share their rich science experiences with their family and friends.”

Science Discovery Day has become an annual tradition at Solana Vista thanks to the Solana Beach Schools Foundation, Parent Teacher Association and the Solana Beach School District’s vision to promote STREAM. “Science Discovery Day was certainly a hit amongst our students and we look forward to building on these engaging opportunities next year,” Lynch said.

Solana Vista also hosts the Young Scientist Club every Wednesday, where parents who work in the field of science lead hands-on activities and presentations.

The club will meet through March 2. On March 3, the club will culminate with an Inventor's Showcase where students will present their inventions to solve real-world problems.

“We want the students to be able to know the science behind these concepts, so that they can make educated decisions about the world around them,” Anastasopoulos said. “They really are our future, and we want them to be able to make a difference.”

The Snack Shack is undergoing a much-needed upgrade. Donations are needed to help complete the project.

NORTH COAST - JANUARY 28, 2016 - PAGE A9

The old Snack Shack

Funds needed to complete Solana Snack Shack dream

BY ROB LEDONNE A 10-year-long Solana Beach project is nearing completion and help is needed from the community to finally wrap things up.

Located behind Solana Vista Elementary School since the 1970s, a Snack Shack that served North County well for over 40 years is undergoing a much-needed revamp, the culmination of a plan that once moved at a snail's pace and is now speeding toward a happy conclusion.

“This has been in the works for a decade,” said Amy Van Valkenburg, the president of Solana Beach Little League and a main force in the recent progress with the Shack. “I assumed the role of president just to get this completed. We wanted to take the time to do it right.”

Despite multiple reasons for the slow progress — including the fact that there was no real group in charge of raising funds for the aging structure and that kids would age in and out of Little League with parents leaving it behind — the project finally made headway when it received funds from both San Diego County and the City of Solana Beach.

Now with a new complex on the horizon, organizers need just $50,000 to finish the job and have until April to get it done.

“We're going for a remodel that will make it more accessible for people with special needs and be more user-friendly for the school,” explains Van Valkenburg on the vision for the new Snack Shack, which serves multiple purposes besides selling refreshments during games that that take place at Solana Vista.

“Children’s gardening and cooking will also take place there, and it will also double as a first aide station.”

According to Van Valkenburg, it’s more than just a simple Snack Shack but a current and hopefully future meeting place for the community of Solana Beach. “It’s a safe, secure place and a real community center, a lot of kids stay there all day. We want kids to put their video screens down and run around in the sunshine… whatever the sport.”

Initial construction is already underway, with workers — former little leaguers themselves — who are giving back to the teams they once played for. “We're on the tail-end of construction right now, but need to raise additional funds,” notes Van Valkenburg. Donations can also be made online by visiting solanabeachlittleleague.com.

“We’d love to have alumni donate who maybe didn’t know construction was going on to push us over the finish line. A program is in the works where if you donate over $100, we’ll recognize your family at the Shack as well.”

In addition, upcoming events will be held that will double as fundraising efforts, including a MLB clinic in honor of San Diego legend Tony Gwynn on Feb. 20 and an Opening Ceremony and parade to celebrate the new season on Feb. 27.

For questions about construction or if you’d like to donate or help in any way, email Van Valkenburg at president@solanabeachlittleleague.com.

I

t was fascinating to listen to oral arguments Jan. 11 in the Supreme Court’s Friedrichs v. California Teachers Association case and to hear the justices vigorously question attorneys.

The lawsuit was brought by 10 California teachers (lead plaintiff is Orange County teacher Rebecca Friedrichs) who are challenging the CTA by claiming it’s their First Amendment right not to have their dues money applied to advance political issues with which they disagree.

A Supreme Court decision in favor of Friedrichs could seriously diminish the union’s political power and impact its historically secure cash flow.

EdSource, a nonprofit education-focused organization, explained that a favorable ruling for Friedrichs would overturn the Abood v. Detroit Board of Education decision made 40 years ago, which required employees represented by a public employee union to pay “fair share” dues.

The rationale for Abood – and the argument the CTA is making in this case – is that the dues structure is needed because the union represents all employees (union members and nonmembers alike) in its negotiations for wages and benefits.

CTA attorneys argued that if dues were voluntary, then those choosing not to pay would become “free riders” who gain from the advantages of collective bargaining for higher pay and increased benefits without paying into the system.

Teachers currently have the choice to opt out of that portion of dues specifically earmarked for advancing political candidates and causes.

But it’s not just the money allocated for political action that the plaintiffs find objectionable. They claim that even the union’s negotiations for increased wages and benefits are political in nature, so even fair-share fees required of union nonmembers are therefore unconstitutional.

“Whether the union is negotiating for specific class sizes or pressing a local government to spend tax dollars on teacher pensions rather than on building parks, the union’s negotiating positions embody political choices that are often controversial,” argued Friedrichs attorneys.

Representing Friedrichs is the conservative Center for Individual Rights law firm, which on its website says agency shop laws require public employees to pay union dues as a condition of employment, and that violates the Constitution’s First Amendment principles of freedom of speech and association.

Teachers pay about $1,000 per year in union dues.

California law, CIR explains, “allows teachers to opt out of the thirty percent or so of their dues devoted to overt political lobbying,” but “they may not opt out of the sixty to seventy percent of their dues the union determines is devoted to collective bargaining.”

Even opting out, CIR states, is an undue burden.

“To opt out of the thirty percent of their dues that even the union concedes is used for overtly political activities, teachers must file for a refund each year according to a precise procedure that effectively discourages its use,” the website claims.

Plaintiffs’ attorneys obviously hope for the Supreme Court’s acceptance of their arguments. But if not, they

say they would request that the opt-out practice be changed to an opt-in system.

This would mean that instead of requiring teachers to apply for a refund each year, the union would need teacher authorization “to support union political activities before withholding dues for that purpose.”

District contract language

For context, in the recently adopted San Dieguito Union High School District’s union contract, Article 15:01 outlines the requirements of teachers to pay union dues each year. It’s handled through monthly payroll deductions or a one-time pay in full.

Payroll deductions mean district involvement, cooperation, time and resources are embedded in the contract.

Religious objections are allowed, but the amount of money owed for union dues still must be relinquished, as stated in the SDUHSD contract: “Any unit member who is a member of a religious body whose traditional tenets or teachings include objections to joining or financially supporting employee organizations shall not be required to join or financially support the San Dieguito Faculty Association/CTA/NEA, as a condition of employment.”

But they still have to pay.

Members shall pay, “in lieu of a service fee, a sum equal to such agency fee to one of the following non-religious, non-labor organizations …,” the contract reads. Choices are United Way, Community Resource Center or the Foundation to Assist California Teachers.

The Solana Beach School District’s master contract has a similar clause, which states that any teacher “who objects to joining or financially supporting employee organizations shall not be required to join or financially support the Association as a condition of employment.”

It further states that members who object must pay a sum equal to the association fees to one of the following charitable funds: the Solana Beach SEE SUTTON, A17

Our children will be left with the bills Re: “More maddening money matters” by Marsha Sutton, Jan. 21, 2016 issue.

If I were to say, “We should be allowed to audit our own tax returns,” I would rightly be dismissed as a comedian or a crackpot. Yet many public officials have been able set their own salaries without significant pushback. Voters seem especially willing to overlook this glaring conflict of interest when the officials in question claim to be serving “our children.”

Over the past few decades, per capita spending on primary and secondary education (in inflation-adjusted dollars) has increased dramatically in the United States, while during the same period, achievement scores have

remained nearly flat. Several factors are at play here, but a prominent one is this: the diversion of large sums of taxpayer revenue to fund unproductive bureaucracies and to pay inflated administrative salaries.

Unlike counterparts in private industry, public sector unions have no incentive to make reasonable demands.

This is because taxpayers, in effect, have bottomless pockets, and there is a vanishingly small risk that excessive wage increases and unsustainable pension benefits will lead to governmental default. The result is an array of public sector Ponzi schemes so massive that they have become virtually impervious to corrective action. One of these days, the bills are going to come due. And when they do, guess who’s going to have to pay them. That’s right: our children.

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) Marsha Sutton and her wealthy chums can relax The tiresome and polemic Marsha Sutton does her usual good job defending the barricades of the 0.01 percent with her Jan. 14, 2016 piece on the outrage of having to pay our children's' teachers a fair amount of money. San Dieguito teachers, who have had no raises at all for the last nine years, are now getting an aggregate 12.5 percent raise over the next two years, bringing their effective annual raise over the last decade from 0 percent to a whopping 1.2 percent.

Sutton and her wealthy chums can relax, though: Inflation in the U.S. has decreased the value of the dollar 14.5 percent since 2007, so San Dieguito Union High School teachers will still have less buying power than they did in 2007 even after the raises Sutton decries.

After all, keeping our talented cadre of professional teachers broke and demoralized is the overriding goal for the rich!

Randall Smith, Carmel Valley

One Paseo vote inexplicable Despite the Carmel Valley community being overwhelmingly against a project larger than the 510,000 square-foot zoning, we got a 5-5 vote — inexplicable!

I guess if they go through with this, they will approve my building plan: I’m going to increase my two-story house to six stories. Same increase as One Paseo. There will be slightly more traffic on my block, as my new residents on the top floor, and the new businesses on the bottom floor, move in. But hey — taxes! Jobs! And the cool shops people in the community can walk to.

Seriously, this is nothing but a debacle. Once again, bad real estate investments are getting subsidized by the residents in the community.

Dave Wolfson, Carmel Valley resident and business owner

Vote on One Paseo Such words as high standard of judgement and decision making were used to imply that the Carmel Valley Board did neither. Board members are unpaid volunteers from all walks of life and are influenced by the events that have shaped their home and business experiences. Is it possible that some board members considered the quality of life issues to be more important than the unreasonable demands of a corporation that paid too much for the land?

The issue of collaborative effort is referenced. This ignores the fact that after the City Council approved the zoning change, environmental document, and the Main Street project, two CEQA law suits were brought against the City. Furthermore, a ballot measure petition was signed by 60,000 people to force a city wide vote. Only after the lawyers got involved did the City rescind their approval of only the project but not the zoning or FEIR. Behind closed doors a settlement was worked out that reduce the additional average daily trips (ADTs) to 14,000.

To compensate the developer for a somewhat smaller project, various community enhancements were dropped or severely reduced. The centerpiece for reducing emergency response time, Synchronized Traffic Signalization system, was cut from 45 intersections to only 10 along Del Mar Heights Road (DMHR) and only funded for two years. Additional funding for the DMH bridge turn lanes was cut along with the bike tunnel under I-5.

Higher density and housing shortage is used to support the reason the City Council should approve this “new” project. Without affordable mass transit, this project will leave DMHR at the worst possible level of service. The City needs low income and affordable housing. The One Paseo land cost alone is over $500 per square foot. This very high land cost plus actual construction expenses will

limit the number of people able to purchase or rent the 608 units.

The Carmel Valley motion on 11 project requirements and conditions was a fine effort but the resulting split vote was not unexpected considering the late introduction of this motion at the meeting. Both the Brown Act and City policy 600-24, limit the communication between board members prior to a public hearing. What was most gratifying is the CV chair’s understanding that the Fast Response Squad can be a lifesaver for Torrey Pines citizens impacted by One Paseo traffic. If the project requirements had been released earlier to the public and were the focal point of the discussions, maybe the outcome would have been different.

Dennis Ridz, former Chair of Torrey Pines Community Planning Board

Church architectural design out of character with neighboring structures I have lived in the Carmel Valley area since 1975. The Armenian church structure is going to dwarf all the building structures around it. The architectural design is totally out of the character with the businesses, churches, and the residences, and yet the Costal Commission Committee members voted for it.

Even their own experts made a presentation that clearly shows that a 93-foot tower, and 50-foot high buildings exceeds at least twice the height of the highest structure in the vicinity.

Residents of Carmel Valley, you folks who showed up in great numbers to go against the City of San Diego allowing the previous "One Paseo" design. I hope you citizens are okay with that.

A gentle reminder that the Coastal Commission and, evidently, the City of San Diego, and all the Carmel Valley commissions allowed this to happen. They have set a precedent for similar size and height buildings to be built in the Carmel Valley, and the San Diego River Valley area.

I wonder who is pulling wool over those committee members who I assume are citizens who live in the area.

A concerned citizen.

William T. Shen, Del Mar

It would be wise to approach One Paseo in phases Suppose there are 40 people living in a 2-bedroom apartment. No one will consider this to be an acceptable arrangement (not in the U.S. anyway). Then 10 people move out and only 30 are still living in the same 2-bedroom apartment. Should we all rejoice over such an “improvement”? Hope, not. Well, this is what has happened with One Paseo. It started as an abomination and it still is: Going from 1.7 million sq. ft. to 1.4 million and now to 1.2 million, while the initial zoning allowed for 500,000 sq. ft. The whole exercise between then and now was merely an exercise in rearranging the furniture.

There must’ve been some rational reason to have this area initially zoned for 500,000 sq. ft. and not for 1.2 million sq. ft. What has changed?

At the Jan. 13 Carmel Valley Planning Board meeting, the focus of the discussion has somehow switched from counting square feet to counting ADTs (Average Daily Trips). Using the above example, this is akin to counting the number of doors in a 2-bedroom apartment while 30 people are still living in it. Square feet is a hard number, while ADTs is just a rough estimate based on computer modeling and some biased assumptions. It would be interesting to find out how a square foot reduction of about 19 percent (1,454,000 to 1,175,871) resulted in ADT reduction of 50 percent (27,000 to 13,500). Was the same methodology used or a different set of “experts” came up

with a new way to do the math?

During the previous round of back-and-forth, the Carmel Valley planning board made a counter-proposal and agreed to about 800,000 sq. ft., if I remember correctly. Why is it that now the same board (with some new members, I suppose) is willing to accept over 1,200,000 sq. ft.? If there was a survey, I would guess that overwhelming majority of the local residents would be against the currently proposed size of One Paseo. It would be wise to approach One Paseo in phases: Build 500,000 sq. ft. and see the results. If things work out, Kilroy can always build more. Yes, there will be financial implications of such approach. The real danger is that once 1.2 million sq. ft. of One Paseo is built, it cannot be scaled down and we’ll be stuck with traffic, overcrowding and other inherent problems. Last time we had a very able and dedicated group of people who fought Kilroy’s plans and won. I am afraid that this time we may lose.

Alex Nevelson, Carmel Valley

School board policies are the board’s policies, but do they look at them?

Looking through the recommended revisions to the San Dieguito Union High School District board policies, it appears they further reduced what the board expects of itself and the staff that work for the district. If the board believes in Ms. Dalessandro’s quote, that I recently read in the Del Mar Times — “Standards and expectations are high and they deliver” — why is the board watering down its own policies? Why is it taking out language on what shall be done to ensure its students and their parents are protected, and their rights are not ignored.

For example; Old policy from page 246 of the Jan. 14, 2016 agenda includes what will be pulled out.

Equivalent Opportunity The district interscholastic athletic program and activities shall be free from discrimination and discriminatory practices in accordance with state and federal law. The superintendent or designee shall ensure that equivalent opportunities for both genders are provided. The board encourages all interested students to participate in the athletic program and try out for teams.

Proposed from Page Proposed 243 of the Jan. 14, 2016 agenda: Nondiscrimination and Equivalent Opportunities in the Athletic Program Any complaint regarding the district's athletic program shall be filed in accordance with the district's uniform complaint procedures.

How is that change okay with any parent that has children engaged in the athletic programs at our schools?

Why has the entire burden shifted to parents?

Looking at other districts, below is Vista; Policy 6145.2 Nondiscrimination and Equivalent Opportunities in the Athletic Program The district's athletic program shall be free from discrimination and discriminatory practices in accordance with state and federal law. The superintendent or designee shall ensure that equivalent athletic opportunities are provided for both sexes.

Any complaint regarding nondiscrimination and/or equivalent opportunities in the district's athletic program shall be filed in accordance with the district's uniform complaint procedures.

It would appear Vista and other districts have added the steps needed if you have a complaint. They also recognized the importance of keeping in this part of the policy, that the district athletic program shall be free from discrimination and discriminatory practices.

Which begs the question, what other changes will reduce the high standards, our board has indicated they expect of itself and the staff that run our district?

For teachers who choose a charitable fund, the union requires them to notify the district every year. If they fail to do so, the money is automatically redirected to the union.

As stated in the SBSD contract, “Proof of payment and a written statement of objection shall be made on an annual basis to the District as a condition of continued exemption…”

The proof of payment “shall be in the form of receipts and/or canceled checks indicating the amount paid, date of payment, and to whom payment in lieu of the service fee has been made,” the contract reads.

Many contracts also state that the school district is responsible for deducting the appropriate amount from paychecks and notifying the union of who’s paid, who hasn’t, and any changes in membership status.

Further, the time and effort involved in handling this facet of union business is paid by the taxpayers. As it states in the SBSD contract, “There shall be no charge to the Association for such deductions.”

SDUHSD and SBSD contract language is not unique.

Major setback

The tenor of the questioning of the majority of the nine justices indicates support for Friedrichs, experts say, which suggests Abood may be overturned.

This would be a massive setback for public teachers’ unions and strike a major blow in their ability to lobby and influence public policy.

Forcing every teacher to financially support a union that promotes and funds political issues and agendas some vehemently oppose is a

NORTH COAST - JANUARY 28, 2016 - PAGE A17

compelling anti-CTA argument.

EdSource sums it up: “A victory by the teachers who filed the suit could significantly sap the financial strength and undermine the bargaining and political clout of the CTA and other public-employee unions by making all union dues voluntary.”

Chief Justice John Roberts said, according to an Associated Press report, “Even routine matters can become politically charged if they involve how the state spends money.”

In an article written by lead plaintiff Rebecca Friedrichs in the Orange County Register last year, she said, “For years, many brave teachers have attempted to make our voices heard within our union leadership, but unfortunately the union we’re compelled to hire as our ‘representatives’ doesn’t value our personal liberties.”

She said teachers are required, “as a condition of employment, to financially support teachers unions and their political agendas.”

“Ten teachers in California have had enough,” Friedrichs wrote. “We’re suing the California Teachers Association and its affiliate, the National Education Association, to obtain freedom from compelled support for unionism.”

“This practice,” she wrote, “is unconscionable, especially considering that unions are tax-free ‘corporations’ who long ago abandoned the individual rights and desires of their members.”

The worst part?

“Ironically,” Friedrichs said, “the union is using our involuntary dues monies to fund the court battle against us.”

A Supreme Court decision is expected by June.

FROM BALLOT, A1 doesn’t mean they would necessarily go for that large of a bond.

There are three options for SFID boundaries, but with an average tax rate of $29.25 per $100,000 of assessed value, they could generate $75 million to $85 million with a yearly tax for the average homeowner at $292.

Trustee Scott 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. Things have changed since then.

In 2014, the district developed a comprehensive long-term facilities master plan that identified a list of projects to support and complement the district’s educational goals. The plan represents $126 million in improvements including transforming libraries to innovation centers, creating modern learning studios at all schools, modernizing the district’s oldest campuses of Del Mar Hills, Del Mar Heights and Carmel Del Mar and replacing 25-year-old portables with permanent classroom buildings.

The district has also conducted a lot of outreach over the last year. In 2015, the board heard several presentations on the master plan and facilities needs and, late in the year, the district held four community forums. Assistant Superintendent Jason Romero said the forums were well attended by community stakeholders and they provided a lot of valuable input.

“The sentiment was that they really do love what’s happening in our schools and they want to know what they need to do to support our needs,” Romero said.

Individual school-site visits were also held in November and December for additional feedback on the three ways the district has to fund facilities: through deferred maintenance

out of the general funs, a district-wide general obligation bond or the SFID. Romero said a lot of the feedback from the newer schools questioned whether now was the right time for a bond and residents who already pay into Community Facilities Districts (CFDs) shared concerns about adding to their tax bills. With the use of SFIDs, there was also concerns about creating a district of “have and have nots.”

Based on a very informal survey at the forums, 8 percent were in favor of continuing with deferred maintenance, 48 percent favored a GO bond and 44 percent favored a SFID. Superintendent Holly McClurg said that obviously it was not very clear on how the district should move forward from that informal survey and said it also should be noted they were also polling people who had a vested interest in the district, people with children in the schools.

Wooden said he was a little disappointed in the informal survey’s results, viewing them as 44 percent supporting a SFID and saying “I don’t want to pay for improvements, I want someone else to” and eight percent saying no to a bond of any kind.

Gretler said he saw the results a different way.

“What I take from these numbers is there’s a will to do something, not to do nothing,” Gretler said.

“Through community forums and school site visits it is clear that the community places a high priority on education and believes in the investment in schools,” Assistant Superintendent Cathy Birks said. “Currently the needs at the district’s original three schools are significantly greater than the needs at the five schools constructed since however all eight schools will need significant facilities modernization in ensuing years.”

Everlasting memories of loved ones

Jay S. Cohen, MD

November 3, 1945 - December 6, 2015 Del Mar — Jay S. Cohen, MD, was a nationally respected expert on prescription medications and natural therapies. Dr. Cohen earned his medical degree at Temple University in 1971. after completing his internship, he practiced general medicine and conducted ground-breaking research at UCla in acupuncture and pain. In 1974, he undertook a residency in psychiatry and psychopharmacology at UCSD, where he was an adjunct associate Professor of Psychiatry. He was Chairman of the Medical advisory Committee of the erythromelalgia association, and a Fellow of the american College of Nutrition.

Dr. Cohen’s interest in pharmacology led to independent research on the causes of medication side-effects that result in more than 100,000

deaths and 2 million hospitalizations each year.

He noted that a substantial number of people are medication-sensitive, and, starting in 1996, published his findings in eight books and in leading medical journals, as well as articles in publications such as Newsweek, Bottom line Health and life extension Magazine. His work was featured in the New York Times, The Washington Post, Consumer reports, Wall Street Journal, Modern Maturity, Women’s

Day and many other national magazines and newspapers. His book, Over Dose: The Case against The Drug Companies (Tarcher/ Putnam, 2001), was favorably reviewed by Publishers Weekly, library Journal and The Journal of the american Medical association.

In the course of his professional career, Dr. Cohen was featured on more than 100 radio programs across america, including NPr. He presented his findings at conferences of patients, doctors, drug industry executives and attorneys. During the post-9/11 anthrax scare, his journal article on severe reactions to the class of antibiotics that include Cipro and levaquin, triggered a national debate and prompted the U.S. Center of Disease Control to withdraw its recommendation for their use in anthrax-exposure

cases.

In 2002, Dr. Cohen was the keynote speaker at the annual Science Day of the U.S. Food and Drug administration’s Clinical Pharmacology Division.

He debated top FDa officials on drug safety at several conferences, including those hosted by the american Society for Clinical Pharmacology and Therapeutics and the Drug Information association.

Dr. Cohen made his home in Del Mar, Ca, for over 40 years. He was an avid lover of learning, dogs and the beauty of Del Mar. He is survived by his son, rory Cohen and daughterin-law, alana Cohen; and nephew, Hal Cohen.

The Jay S. Cohen M.D. Foundation has been established to support the continuation of Dr. Cohen’s work. Donations can be made at JayCohenMD.com.

FROM BOND, A1 interviewers to data entry errors, navigates skip patterns and randomizes appropriate questions.

Interviews were conducted from 5:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. on weekdays and from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekends. On average, interviews lasted 17 minutes.

The poll is the district’s latest step in exploring whether to place a general obligation bond on the ballot.

Founded in 1925, the Solana Beach School District has seven elementary schools and a child development center. In 2014, the district opened its seventh school, Solana Ranch Elementary School, in Pacific Highlands Ranch.

Other schools, however, opened decades ago and need to be updated. Skyline School, for example, was constructed in phases between 1955 and 1961 and was modernized in 2000.

In preparation for a potential bond measure, the district is currently working with architects and engineers on improvement projects for the schools, including identifying areas of need and determining project timeframes.

If the district moves forward with a bond on the November ballot and the measure passes, the district would need to submit its plans to the Division of the State Architect by December 2016. The Division of State Architect provides design and construction oversight for K-12 schools, community colleges, and various other state-owned and leased facilities.

Construction could then start as early as summer 2017, according to district staff.

FROM CLIMATE, A4 The city of Solana Beach has strived to be a more sustainable community for years.

The city was the first in the county to ban single-use plastic bags in 2012. In 2015, Solana Beach also became the first to prohibit polystyrene food containers.

Also at the end of last year, the council formally created a Climate Action Commission, moving another step forward to developing a climate action plan for the city.

To assist with the plan’s development, the advisory group will help update the city’s greenhouse gas emissions inventory, set reduction targets, implement mitigation measures and perform periodic monitoring, verification and evaluations.

Zahn and Councilwoman Lesa Heebner will serve on the commission.

“In the discussions in Paris, and even in the final agreement, there is recognition of the important role of cities in enabling this reduction of greenhouse gases worldwide,” said Zahn, who added that none of his travel or other expenses for the trip was paid for by the city or with taxpayer funds.

“The role of cities is so important,” he said. “In Paris, there were very valuable gatherings of cities, city leaders coming together. I was glad to be able to participate in some of those. There’s a lot of benefit to sharing information because cities have a lot in common in terms of how they’re going to address these issues.”

FROM TRAIL, A3 make the project happen.

The Friends group has received funding from the Coastal Conservancy to continue stakeholder planning workshops this year to develop plans to promote canyon access, restoration, conservation, environment-based education and ecologically sensitive recreation.

The group also hopes to build on a solid year of stewardship of the trails in

2015—there were numerous community clean-up events and lots of help from local Girl Scout Troop 1360, who among other things helped install new trail signage.

The next stewardship event will be held on Saturday, Feb. 20 from 9 a.m. to noon, meeting at the Sword Way trailhead at Winstanley Way. For more information or to sign-up for the event, visit sdcanyonlands.org/eventscalendar.

www.delmartimes.net FROM PARK, A1 Now in the final “create” phase, the group crafted three initial concepts for the park using the public’s input.

All three concepts include the top amenities identified in the first phase of the master plan process. These include a fully accessible park for visitors with disabilities, open turf for flexible play, an off-leash grassy area for dogs, gardens and landscaping, indoor meeting and recreational community space, picnic areas, fitness stations, walking paths, a restroom, benches, trash and recycling receptacles and parking. They also feature educational plant tags and signage, overlooks and “signature structures” for shade.

“It would be a beautiful part of the park and a focal part for everyone,” Glen Schmidt, president of Schmidt Design Group, said about the shade structures.

Currently, there is a driveway on Stratford Court that winds through the park. The concepts propose adding a new driveway off Ninth Street.

Under Concept A, the existing 1,800-square-foot community building would be expanded with a 1,200-square-foot one-story addition and covered patio. There would be 33 parking spaces, including four accessible from Ninth Street and near the building, 14 shared spaces at The Winston School, a private school that has been on the site since 1988, and 15 spaces near the hotel that sits on city property.

There would be a natural children’s play area and a full multiuse court. A restroom would be integrated into the slope.

The southern portion of the site would be divided into flexible turf and off-leash dog space. The dog park would be approximately 175 by 130 feet and the open space would be approximately 240 by 130 feet. The existing

NORTH COAST - JANUARY 28, 2016 - PAGE A19

field is about 215 by 175 feet.

A “ha-ha” fence would be installed on the slope and surrounded by vegetation to separate the spaces.

Under Concept B, the community building would have a two-story addition with 2,500 square feet and a terraced deck. There would 31 parking spaces, including nine by the building, seven by the school and 15 by the hotel.

There would be a smaller children’s play area, half-court basketball court and an informal amphitheater.

Unlike the other two concepts, Concept B features shared open space, rather than two separate spaces for flexible turf and off-leash dogs. But because the site is on a slope, the 340-foot wide space is naturally divided with a 17-foot slope, creating two terraces at 200 by 150 feet and 170 by 115 feet.

Concept C, Schmidt said, is the “most grand scheme.”

“Each of these get a little more grand as we go along,” Schmidt said.

“Think of it as a menu of things,” he added.

‘We can pick and choose as we go through this process. It will eventually be a hybrid of some of these different ideas.

Under Concept C, a below-grade parking structure would be constructed where the community building is currently located.

Vehicles would enter the garage off Ninth Street. There would be 50 parking spaces, with 35 available in the structure and 15 by the hotel.

A new two-story community building would be constructed along Camino del Mar. The 3,000-square-foot building would be at street-level with a lower level accessible to the park.

There would be a children’s play garden, potential joint-use multiuse court and an

informal amphitheater.

The southern portion of the site would be divided into flexible turf and off-leash dog space. The dog park would be approximately 135 by 200 feet and the turf would be approximately 160 by 150 feet. A “ha-ha” fence would separate the spaces.

“We got a ton of input from the community, and I, for one, think Glen and his group have really captured or tried to put down in a creative way the kind of things that they heard from the community,” Deputy Mayor Terry Sinnott said.

Prior to presenting to the council, the consultants unveiled their concepts before the Shores Park Committee, an advisory committee that oversees the master plan process, and officials from The Winston School.

The five committee members present at the Dec. 9 meeting unanimously agreed that all three concepts reflect what has been heard from the community so far. Mike Peterson, headmaster of The Winston School, thanked the consultants for including the school in the process.

“We’re pleased to give our vote of approval here tonight,” he said at the council meeting.

“We’re anxious to help contribute to the process as it moves on and we look forward to the next phase.”

Two other residents commended Schmidt Design Group’s progress and the way the city and the group has involved the community in the process.

Joel Holliday, however, said the council should move forward with the two designs that separated the dog park and open space. And Joe Sullivan, president of Friends of Del Mar Parks, said the council needs to make decisions on whether the two spaces will be separated, the community building will be relocated and

underground parking is needed.

Councilman Al Corti agreed that the council should make some of these decisions sooner rather than later.

“Until we do, I think we might be wasting time and money,” he said.

And with the state’s ongoing drought, Corti also questioned whether so much turf is needed at Shores Park.

“If there’s any place that we should put turf, usable turf, it’s in public parks,” said Schmidt, who added that he’s been involved in water conservation and landscape for 30 years. “This is the highest and best use of our resource.”

Schmidt said the city also has to provide an open grass athletic area, according to its lease with The Winston School.

Council members were not asked for project direction as the informational presentation was intended to only confirm the early concepts align with the community’s vision.

A March 13 workshop is scheduled so residents can share their thoughts on the concepts. The workshop is set for 2-4 p.m. at The Winston School’s auditorium.

“We’re just at the beginning of this process,” said Kristen Crane, assistant to the city manager. “We’ll be seeking a tremendous amount of community input on these concepts before we move forward in this stage.”

“There’s a temptation, I think, for us to try to further direct from the three concept diagrams, but my recommendation would be to hold off and allow the process to move forward and allow the community to react to these concepts so that we reaffirm what the community wants us to do,” Sinnott said.

“I want to make sure that we are not closing ideas off in what we present to the community.”

Young dancers keep local teacher on her toes

BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley’s Robyn Shifren was a ballerina that never really liked the limelight. She felt so uncomfortable next to her partners’ flourishes of bows on stages in London and South Africa that she once had to have curtsy rehearsals.

After a 20-year hiatus from dance, Shifren is now happy to be giving up center stage to her young ballet students.

Recently, Shifren was invited as a master teacher to the Vienna International Ballet Experience (VIBE), held Jan. 12-16 in Missoula, Missouri, and took along eight of her students to compete in the VIBE competition, alongside dancers from Brazil, Canada, Cuba, England, Italy, Portugal, South Africa and all over the USA.

Robyn Shifren’s student Chelsea Zeffiro took bronze.

Robyn Schifren The only dancers from San Diego made an impression—of the eight students Shifren took, four came home with medals.

“It was an unbelievable experience,” Shifren said. “I felt like we represented our San Diego community well.”

Of her San Diego students representing Academy of Ballet Arts in Temecula and Scripps Performing Arts, 16-year-old Mira Larsen won gold and the Gloria Minden Scholarship to study ballet in Italy this summer; 13-year-old Mia Benitez won a silver medal and a scholarship to the Munich International Ballet School; and Chelsea Zeffiro and Rebecca Correira won bronze in the pro division.

Shifren’s dancers all performed well in competition, including Catherine Ventura (13), Hannah Ivester (16), Stephanie Cotton (19) and Jessica Kelley (20).

This was the first time that the Vienna competition was held in the USA, hosted by the Rocky Mountain Ballet Theatre and Destination Missoula. Shifren was invited as a master teacher and taught classes throughout the week, teaching amazing young international dancers.

“It was invigorating to me,” Shifren said, noting that she loved leading the team of dancers who put in such a good effort and left with such a great result.

Shifren, a native of South Africa, has lived in Carmel Valley for 14 years.

Her three sons all attended Canyon Crest Academy, where her youngest is still enrolled. Her two oldest are both studying engineering, one at Cal Poly and one at USC. Long and lean, Shifren admittedly walks like a duck, the mark of a longtime ballet dancer. She has been dancing since she was

very young—her mother was a ballet teacher and had a studio attached to the family home.

“I don’t know which ones were students and which ones were friends because the house was always full of little ballerinas,” Shifren said.

Although she had always danced, at 14 she started to “want it more” and took her training more seriously. She became an apprentice for a South African dance company and serendipitously a visitor from the Royal Ballet School saw her and asked her to come to London. At 17, she went

straight from the Royal Ballet School into the Royal Ballet Company. Her first role was a doll in “Coppélia.”

“I loved it but I was very homesick,” Shifren said of her years in London, where she never got to see her parents.

While she was in London, the first multi-racial dance company in her country was being formed and she knew she had to go and be a part of it, her personal “Rosa Parks moment.” She considers her nine years dancing with Natal Performing Arts Council the happiest time of her career.

One night after dancing the lead in “Giselle,” Shifren was in a horrific car accident.

Jewish Film Fest promises surprises and discoveries

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DAVID L. CODDON “Plastic Man” is not the latest Marvel Comics film adaptation coming to a theater near you. But it is a movie, formally titled “Plastic Man: The Artful Life of Jerry Ross Barrish,” and it’s among the 60 films that will be screened between Feb. 4-14 at the 26th annual San Diego Jewish Film Festival. If you’ve never heard of Jerry Ross Barrish before, you may never forget him after seeing this lively, personality-driven documentary directed by William Farley.

You might call the 75-year-old Barrish a man for all seasons. He’s been a soldier, a bail bondsman, an indie filmmaker and now a sculptor whose medium of choice is plastic, the kind you find washed up on the beach or discarded in trash bins. If Barrish isn’t the only artist in the world working with plastic, he’s certainly the only one with a film made

about him.

Barrish, the son of a prizefighter who was also a crony of mobsters, was drawn to sculpture after a lengthy but ultimately disillusioning career as a filmmaker. The plastic figures he creates are assembled with screws and glue.

“I grew up without any tools. I never made models. I never used my hands as a kid, so everything about my art in terms of tools is self-taught,” Barrish said by phone from his Pacifica, California home.

Few can or should do what he does, he says, because it’s both “dangerous” and strictly “intuitive.”

Barrish’s artworks of plastic and how they are conceived are what initially attracted filmmaker Farley. “I was intrigued with what he was able to do with such economy and with material that no one wanted to deal with,” he said. When Farley

“There is no subject or educational presentation at any of the documentaries or dramas where there isn’t something for everyone,” Prater said. “I think that the misconception is that if it’s a Jewish film festival you either need to be Jewish or have a Jewish connection.”

In addition to the feature-length films being screened, there will be a presentation on Feb. 8 of 22 short films at the ArcLight Theatres at La Jolla’s UTC mall. Other festival venues include the Garfield Theater at the Jewish Community Center, the Clairemont Reading 14 multiplex and two North County locations: the Carlsbad Village Theatre and Edwards San Marcos Stadium 18.

Seniors Helping Seniors provides care, companionship

BY KAREN BILLING Seniors Helping Seniors seeks to make a difference by offering compassionate, mature non-medical home caregivers that allow seniors to remain living in their own homes as long as possible and enjoy a better quality of life. The local chapter has been serving San Diego and Orange County since November 2013.

Seniors Helping Seniors is a family business owned by sisters Sue Erskine and Doris Dorey, and Erskine’s daughter Tricia Izadi.

The inspiration to start Seniors Helping Seniors came from the family’s own experience with the sisters’ father, who was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease in his mid-70s.

“When we really needed help, we were fortunate to find two caregivers who were seniors,” Erskine said. “The other caregivers were younger and he never would’ve accepted them.”

The senior caregivers were able to enrich their father’s life by allowing him to continue activities he enjoyed, such as golf and walking.

“They really became like friends for him and that was a concept that made a lot of sense to us,” Erskine said.

Each of the women were looking for something new career-wise —Erskine came from a background in technology and had co-founded Relias Learning, the largest

Seniors Helping Seniors is family-owned by Sue Erskine, her daughter Tricia Izadi and sister Doris Dorey. provider of online training services to senior care and health and human service organizations. Izadi worked for Relias Learning, and Dorey, who lives in New Jersey, had over 20 years of experience in human resources management.

Erskine sold Relias Learning in 2012 and the three of them became certified senior advisors.

They then became affiliated with Seniors Helping Seniors, which was originally founded in Pennsylvania in 1988 by Kiran and Philip

Yocum. Since 1988, the organization has grown to include over 200 independently owned locations around the country and in the United Kingdom.

When Erskine initially started, their area included central San Diego and they went onto acquire the Orange County territory in February 2014. In August of 2015, they acquired the North Coastal San Diego area and communities along the SR-78 corridor.

Dorey runs the business out company out of

their New Jersey location, but shares a lot of infrastructure with the San Diego/Orange County location.

“It’s amazing how many seniors in their 80s and 90s are still living alone,” Erskine said.

Their home care aids can provide services such as assistance with bathing and dressing, meal preparation, assistance with toileting and continence, light housekeeping, assistance with medication, transportation for errands, assistance with communication activities and a cognitive supervisor for patients with dementia.

The most important service they provide, however, is the companionship, Erskine said.

“A lot of them don’t have anyone to talk to,” Erskine said. “A lot of times family members can’t be there all the time so this provides a respite for the family caregiver, that’s a big part of it too.”

Erskine estimates that nearly 75 percent of people they serve have some form of dementia or Alzheimer’s.

“They want to live in their homes. A lot of time seniors are very resistant to help and very independent,” Erskine said. “But if they would accept a little help it would maybe prolong them to be able to live at home.”

The home care aids come from all kinds of backgrounds, including retired nurses, SEE SENIORS, B7

Del Mar resident to perform in ‘All Shook Up’ Pacific Ridge School will be presenting "All Shook Up" as its 8th annual musical production. The high school show includes student performers from Rancho Santa Fe and takes place on Friday, Feb. 5, at 7 p.m. and Saturday, Feb. 6, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m.

All performances will be held at Vista's AVO Playhouse, and tickets can be purchased at vistixonline or directly at the box office.

"All Shook Up" takes place in 1955, and follows the story of a square little town that’s turned on its head by the arrival of a hip-swiveling, lip-curling, guitar-playing roustabout. Inspired

by Shakespeare’s "Twelfth Night," and scored by a collection of Elvis Presley’s greatest hits, the energetic production will leave audiences tapping their blue suede shoes and believing in the magic of romance and the power of rock & roll.

"This musical is fun and different, and it really showcases the talent of the students we have this year," said Director Fredreka Irvine.

The majority of students involved have prior experience in theater and musicals. Freshman Jordi Bertran, a Del Mar resident, has performed at San Diego’s Old Globe Theater in

Local dental practice celebrates 30th anniversary Dr. Curtis Chan opened practice in 1986 Dr. Curtis Chan has provided comprehensive dental care to the community for 30 years.

Located in Del Mar, Chan opened his dental practice, Curtis L. Chan, DDS, in 1986.

“For the past 30 years, my practice has been continually focused on improving each and every day to provide dental excellence to the community,” Chan said.

Chan and his team are committed to building long-term relationships with their patients. By spending time with every patient, Chan said he and his team help make their patients feel comfortable.

The state-of-the-art dental office also creates a soothing atmosphere. There are individual treatment rooms with personal music players and video virtual reality glasses, where patients can watch movies while having dental treatments done.

“Our team of dedicated people focus on spending time with each of our patients to find out what they want for their dental care rather than just telling them what they need,” Chan said. “In doing

so, we strive to build strong bonds of trust and lasting relationships where we can overcome dental fears, anxiety and concerns, so that doors of opportunities can be opened to help each individual achieve optimal dental health and a beautiful smile.”

Chan, who was voted the No. 1 dentist

by Del Mar Times, Carmel Valley News and Solana Beach Sun readers in 2015, first became interested in dentistry when he was in high school. The California native shadowed dentists at a nearby United States Air Force dental clinic.

The experience inspired him to study dentistry at Loma Linda University. After graduation and a brief stint as an associate dentist, Chan opened his own practice.

“The prospect of being my own boss, being in control of my own destiny, learning how to exercise leadership skills and leading a team of people, and the challenge of growing a business to achieve success were some of the key elements that drove me to go into business for myself and open up my own

dental practice,” he said.

Continuing to grow, Curtis L. Chan, DDS recently acquired the practice of longtime Carmel Valley dentist Dr. James Loye. The doctors have known each other for more than 30 years and graduated in the same dental class from Loma Linda University School of Dentistry.

Chan, who was also named 2015’s Best Cosmetic Dentist in Ranch and Coast Magazine, welcomes all new patients to his practice, where he and his team are dedicated to offering the most advanced, compressive dental care to the community.

“My team and I are committed to advanced dental, continuing education seminars and conventions,” he said. “We bring in dental experts to our practice to update our team on advances and technologies that can enrich our patients’ lives or help us be better at delivering the dental care we provide each day.”

Curtis L. Chan, DDS is located at 12835 Pointe Del Mar Way, Suite 3, in Del Mar. For more information, call 858-481-9090 or visit www.curtischandds.com.

‘Spiritual master’ to visit Del Mar Sai Maa to share teachings Valentine’s Day weekend

BY KRISTINA HOUCK A self-proclaimed spiritual healer and humanitarian is visiting Del Mar over Valentine’s Day weekend.

In an effort to empower people to discover and cultivate love and wisdom, Sai Maa will share teachings during a three-day event at Hilton Del Mar. “A global transformation and global transfiguration is happening right now,” Maa said. “I can’t wait to share with them that there’s a revolution happening.”

Born in Mauritius, an island nation in the Indian Ocean, Maa said she demonstrated esoteric healing powers at an early age.

At the age of 21, Maa moved to France, where she later married a research scientist and became the mother of two children. She created a therapy practice and became certified in naturopathic, homeopathic and osteopathic therapies.

Maa also became active in politics and served on the Bordeaux City Council, helping to reform health care in the European Union on behalf of the French government. During this time, she met and became a disciple of spiritual leader and teacher Sathya Sai Baba. Also a supporter of his humanitarian work, she, too, decided to dedicate her life to humanity.

Since then, she has taught thousands of people on spiritual, social and

“I think what the commonality is of why they do it is either they’ve had experience with family members and still feel the need to be a caregiver and help, or they are retired and need an extra source of income,” Erskine said.

“It’s a very interesting group of people.”

Starting Jan. 1, the state of California began regulating and licensing non-medical caregivers through the California Home Care Service Bureau.

Home care aids now must register with the state and go through background checks, which Seniors Helping Seniors always did previously, but now it is a state mandate that Erskine thinks is a great change.

“Every day I see people that remind me of my dad,” Erskine said, describing one client whom they recently connected with a home care aid that takes him golfing every week. “It’s very fulfilling work. At times it’s very sad because there’s a lot of seniors that are just in bad situations, but it’s very fulfilling to find a caregiver who can meet their needs.”

Seniors Helping Seniors is always recruiting for home care aids, people who want to make a time commitment of a couple hours a week and help other seniors. For information on receiving care or providing care, call (800) 481-2488 or visit HomeCareBySeniors.com.

Helen Woodward Animal Center 'Doggie Gras Parade' to be held Feb. 7 Helen Woodward Animal Center is marching its most colorful celebration to a beautiful new location. The first weekend in February, the fourth annual Doggie Gras Parade is stretching its furry legs at the Rancho Santa Fe Farmers Market.

The Doggie Gras festivities will includes a variety of activities for all Mardi Gras-lovers and animal-lovers. Attendees are encouraged to take part in the parade by decorating pet strollers or wagons for their own furry friends. Following the parade, judges will select a “Best 2016 Doggie Gras Float” with a special gift awarded to the winner! Those who would like to be judged in the contest are asked to make a $10 donation to the pets and programs at Helen Woodward Animal Center.

FROM DANCE, B1 “I broke my neck in three places and there was no going back,” Shifren said of the end of her professional dance career.

She was 29.

It took years of frustrating rehabilitation to get back to normal—it took her 10 years just to be able to use a pair of scissors again with her badly damaged left arm and hand.

For about 20 years, Shifren wasn’t at all interested in returning to the ballet world. She became a mother and started a new life in the United States.

Shifren didn’t find dance again until her son started high school at Canyon Crest Academy. She met one of the dance teachers there and was inspired to ask if the dance program needed any help with instructors. She started teaching once a week, offering up her assistance for free.

Now, she is teaching six to seven days a week at dance studios all over San Diego County, including CCA, Del Mar Ballet, North County Dance Arts, Scripps Performing Arts, Inspired Dance, Academy of Ballet Arts and a barre workout class at the Bay Club Carmel Valley.

As a teacher, Shifren admits she is a bit of a “slave driver.” As she heard one of her students tell her husband once, “You just don’t mess with Robyn.”

Shifren said she likes that her students respect her and know that they need to work hard and put in their best effort. She finds each of her dancers “lovely” in their own unique ways and received high compliments at VIBE about their level of training.

“It was my first time I’d ever done a competition and I really am not about silly trophies,” Shifren said. “I just wanted my children to have life opportunities. I didn’t care about winning, I just wanted them to make connections.”

With her dancers’ scholarship offers, they succeeded in making great connections and Shifren made agreements to come back to teach in Montana as well as Vancouver.

“I wake up every day and I think how lucky I am to have found a career that I love,” Shifren said. “I’m working with young people and I really, really do love what I do. Ballet found me again.”

Movers and Shakers of the Culinary World – Salt

Y

ears ago my girlfriend and I applied for the same position teaching law at a well-respected community college. The candidates were interviewed at a fine Italian restaurant. I judiciously avoided slurpy soups and pricey items. Bittersweet, I was offered the job, while my cum laude friend missed the cut. Laurie asked the dean why she wasn’t chosen, and he told her matter-of-factly that she liberally sprinkled salt on every dish before tasting. This insulting gesture showed him she made assumptions and unfair conclusions.

Throughout history salt has been used as a currency to pay Roman Legions, responsible for launching lucrative trade routes and global expeditions, and has become a source of superstitions (bad luck to spill, good luck to toss over one’s left shoulder).

Today this ancient mineral is embraced by top chefs to enliven everything from soup to nuts, holistic healers to ease sore throats and achy feet, and party hosts to instantly chill champagne and remove red wine stains from carpets. Here’s a primer on our favorite flavoring to help shake things up in savory and sweet dishes.

Salt of the Earth Salts have been harvested for thousands of years from lakes, oceans, mountains and underground beds for pickling vegetables, curing, koshering and tenderizing meats, sautéing and baking, and as a finishing flavor.

Here’s a line-up of popular and gourmet salts: •Table salt is basically sodium chloride in a shaker stripped of valuable trace minerals and laced with anti-clumping additives (typically aluminum derivatives) along with synthetic iodine found difficult to synthesize by the body. In addition, this refined seasoning has been linked to water retention and high blood pressure. It’s crystal clear this salt should be limited or avoided.

• Kosher salt, so named for its use in

"koshering" meats according to Jewish kashrut laws requiring the removal of blood before cooking. Its flat, flaky, irregular crystal shape makes Kosher salt easy to pinch and grasp in culinary showmanship for garnishing, and has become a favorite among celebrated chefs. It also dissolves easily so the flavor disperses evenly.

• Sea salt having a crisp fresh bite is either coarsely or finely ground. The former is ideal for adding a crunch to caramel brownies, pretzels or corn on the cob; the latter is a good finishing salt to give a briny flavor to seafood and steamed vegetables.

• Unrefined, coral-tinted Himalayan Pink salt dials up soups, stews, fowls, fish and vegetables with tangy, sharp notes. Also found in hand-cut slabs for striking presentations of fruits, cheeses or sushi, or a savory surface for grilling fish, seafood, chicken or beef.

• Hawaiian Red salt is formed by blending volcanic clay called alae with sea salt, while Hawaiian Black salt incorporates activated charcoal into the grains. These impart rich, earthy flavors to sauces and soups, and are ideal for preserving fish and meats.

• Fine-grained, pristine Pickling salt is a dilly for making pickles and other marinated vegetables.

• Gray-tinged, chunky Rock salt is used to make ice cream or for seafood presentations like oysters.

• Fleur de sel, French for "flower of salts," painstakingly harvested by hand, is best used as a finishing or garnishing salt for salads and vegetables.

In the Pink Pink Himalayan salt with the greatest store of minerals, particularly copper, iron, potassium, calcium and magnesium imparts many health benefits, including boosting libido, the immune and skeletal systems, alkalizing the body by tempering acid

production, regulating heartbeat and fluid levels, along with relieving achy joints, sore muscles, and itchy, flaky skin from a soothing salt bath. There’s more. This precious salt puts the skids on goiters, and prevents depletion of two essential hormones, serotonin and melatonin to help hike mood and regulate sleep patterns.

Rock Star Beyond flavoring foods salt removes odors from hands and cutting board surfaces. Crisps wilted vegetables.

Keeps milk fresher. Prevents mold on cheeses. Eliminates musty smells.

Makes glasses sparkle. Removes rust on kitchen implements, and cuts grease from cooking surfaces.

Variety is the Spice of Life Sea salt ground with interesting ingredients creates exotic seasoning blends for pastas, risottos, chilled and hot soups, grilled vegetables, stir fries, fish, fowls and burgers. Divine add-ins include dried porcini mushrooms and rosemary for an Italian theme, smoked paprika and ancho chilies for a southwest zing, cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, cardamom and black pepper for Indian garam masala blend, or this all-purpose zesty Moroccan rub to dial up your favorite protein and vegetables. It’ll be worth its salt!

Moroccan Dry Rub 2 tablespoons sea salt 2 tablespoons each white and brown sugar 2 tablespoons cumin 2 tablespoons black pepper 2 tablespoons cinnamon 1 tablespoon ginger powder 1 tablespoon turmeric ½ teaspoon caraway seeds Combine ingredients in an airtight jar. Cover and shake until well blended. Store in a cool, dark place.

Preventing Drunk Driving Accidents on New Years Eve Sadly, New Year’s Eve and the holidays are some of the biggest times for car accidents over the course of the year. This is because many people are out enjoying fun with their friends, family and even coworkers and they might not realize that they are too impaired to drive. If you encounter an individual

who is too impaired to get behind the wheel of a car, you can do your part to prevent accidents by following these tips.

Your efforts could just save somebody’s life. You need to remember to respond appropriately in a situation like this in order to keep a bad situation from getting worse.

Maintaining your own sense of cool and calm during this time can encourage the other driver to forget about getting behind the wheel and can also keep the situation from getting violent or the other individual from becoming too aggressive.

Remember that you are talking to someone who has been impaired by the effects of alcohol, so you need to speak more slowly and clearly enunciate and explain your reasoning. Sharing with someone that you are concerned that they may hurt themselves or hurt others may help to address this situation without generating an argument between you and this other

individual.

Take the Person’s Keys As a last resort, you may need to take the person’s keys so that they are not tempted to get behind the wheel of a car. You should only do this when you have tried other methods and it is clear that the driver is not going to listen to you or take into consideration your concerns about safety.

Removing their keys takes the opportunity to drive drunk out of the equation entirely but be prepared that the person may react violently. This is why having a friend to support you can assist during this difficult situation.

pet of the week Willa, a 4-year-old American Pit Bull Terrier mix, is looking for a new best friend. She came into our care from another shelter in Sept. 2015, and has been making her caregivers laugh every single day since. She’s sweet, goofy and extremely friendly with other dogs - she LOVES to play and run zoomies in the play yard. Willa is an active dog who would love to go on long walks, hikes or run around the dog park. We think she’ll do best with a playmate in her new home, or at least plenty of time to socialize with other dogs. Willa walks great on a leash, listens well to her handlers, and appears house-trained. Don’t miss the opportunity to take home this awesome little lady! Willa is available for adoptions at San Diego Humane Society’s San Diego Campus, 5500 Gaines Street, San Diego. To learn more about Willa, please call (619) 299-7012 or visit sdhumane.org.

he Kaiser Permanente Carmel Valley 5K & Fun Run was held Jan. 24. The event began and ended at the new Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch shopping center.

The event raises money for 23 schools in the Carmel Valley area, as well as the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Tumor Foundation and Leukemia Lymphoma Society. Since 2012, the race has raised more than $100,00 for area schools and other local charities.

The Carmel Valley 5K also offered a Fun Run, which allowed both kids and parents to participate in a one-mile noncompetitive run.

The event also featured a family-friendly post party and expo at The Village, which included a variety of over 25 expo booths, the Kaiser Health mobile van, live music, jumpies, food, awards and other entertainment.
