‘You matter to us. We are here to teach you’ SDUHSD board passes resolution declaring all schools a ‘safe place’

City, Winston School working together on plans for Shores Park. A7

BY KAREN BILLING Speaking at the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board meeting March 9, San Dieguito High School Academy teacher Rob Ross said that a few weeks ago he noticed that one of his students seemed stressed in class. When he asked if she was OK, she burst into tears. The student told him she couldn’t concentrate in school because of the fear and anxiety she was facing — her parents are undocumented immigrants and they had been

discussing plans if they should suddenly “disappear” due to deportation. Ross said that in his work with Latino leadership and supports groups, more students have reported feeling widespread fear to the point of terror, families who have been here for decades are wondering if they are still welcome. He added that students like the girl in his class, who is taking AP classes, playing varsity sports and aims to be the first in her family to go to college, should feel safe and supported as they

It is our moral obligation to say something,” Ross said. “In my 17 years of working with immigrant students in this district, it is my conclusion that we are indeed getting their best, and in this moment, we need to reassure them that we are on their side.” At its March 9 meeting, the board showed they SEE STUDENTS, A21

The Del Mar Fairgrounds unveiled the newly refurbished Don Diego Clock Tower on Tuesday, March 14. The three-sided tower, which was built in 1953, features tile mosaics of fair ambassador Don Diego, who was played by actor Tommy Hernandez from 1947 to 1984. Recently, the structure below the tower, which was located on the fair's midway, was demolished, but the 15-ton upper section was moved by crane to a spot near the fairgrounds' O'Brien gate.

Parents voice concerns about SDUHSD coach selection process BY KAREN BILLING As the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board was set to approve a number of contract coaches for school athletic teams at its March 9 meeting, some parents wanted assurances that all coaches are being properly vetted. Parent Wendy Gumb said she believed that

in the case of some coaches at Torrey Pines High School, the correct hiring process was not followed. Gumb said it’s important that all coach positions are posted as per board policy and that people are allowed to apply and positions are not just given to “people that are favorites of the foundation or coaches or SEE COACHES, A22

BY JOE TASH The Solana Beach City Council, in response to a “speed survey” conducted in 2016, adjusted the speed limits for nine road segments in the city. The unanimous action came at the council’s meeting on Wednesday, March 8. The city hired Linscott, Law and Greenspan Engineers to conduct the citywide speed survey, the first to be carried out since 2009, said a city staff report. According to city staff, such surveys are required by state law to be conducted every five to seven years. The consultant’s report evaluated 37 road segments. Of those, seven were not surveyed because they are automatically set due to proximity to business or residential districts, schools SEE SPEED, A22

Fairgrounds explores $13 million loan for new concert venue

COURTESY OF ZEPHYR

A proposed oceanfront resort would be located on a triangular piece of land just south of Del Mar and north of Dog Beach. Currently, there is only a gated mansion on the 16-acre site, which is divided up into seven parcels.

BY JOE TASH The board that oversees the state-owned Del Mar Fairgrounds approved a proposal by its staff to “investigate potential financing options” for a construction loan of up to $13 million, which would be used to convert an underperforming satellite wagering center into a 1,900-seat concert venue. The action at the Tuesday, March 14, meeting of the 22nd District Agricultural Association board, follows a vote in January, when the board agreed to spend $250,000 on preliminary planning for the project. So far, the agency has hired an architect to

begin design work, but has not yet hired a contractor to handle the renovation, said fairgrounds officials. While the January vote in favor of the expenditure was unanimous, on Tuesday, Director David Watson cast the lone “no” vote in a 7-1 decision by the board. Watson said he could not support the action because the only written information provided to the board was a two-sentence description of the proposal contained in the meeting agenda. “This is not the way a public agency is SEE FAIRGROUNDS, A19

Developer eyes Del Mar blufftop for oceanfront resort Solana Beach has work to do BY LORI WEISBERG A local development team has taken the first step toward transforming a prime oceanfront site on the Del Mar bluffs into a resort that would also include a public park. The Robert Green Company, which recently opened the upscale Pendry hotel in downtown San Diego, is teaming with Encinitas-based Zephyr, a housing developer, to acquire seven parcels of land located just south of Solana Beach, north of Del Mar dog beach and west of the fairgrounds. Currently owned by three different families and under private ownership for at least the last century, the triangular-shaped piece of land has long been occupied by only a couple of gated homes, while the northernmost piece remains vacant. Adjoining the site on the south are four acres of city-owned land laced with winding walking trails. The Encinitas developers announced last week they have entered into a long-term agreement with the landowners to acquire and develop their property, culminating more than a year-long effort to strike a deal. They have yet to formulate specific development plans but the centerpiece would be a luxury resort that could be complemented with hotel-branded villas, restaurants and SEE DEVELOPER, A19

on meeting housing goals

BY JOE TASH The city of Solana Beach still has a way to go to meet state-mandated goals on providing new housing units, but projects in the pipeline or under consideration will help, according to an update presented to the City Council on Wednesday, March 8. The state requires cities to provide an annual update on their progress in implementing the goals of their housing element, a part of its general plan. The document identifies projected housing needs and policies to develop all types of housing, including affordable housing,

according to a city staff report. The report presented to the council Wednesday noted that over the past six years, the city has issued building permits for a total of 27 new housing units, compared to the goal of 340 units contained in the housing element. That total takes into account both units that are demolished and those planned to take their place, said the report, providing a net total of new units. In 2016, said the report, 16 new housing units received building permits, and 10 SEE HOUSING, A22

SDUHSD looking to close $9.2 million deficit by June BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board approved its second interim budget for the 2016-17 school year at its March 9 meeting, a projected income of $131,982,190 and projected expenditures at $141,226,363. Over the next few months, the board will look at ways to chip away at a deficit of $9.2 million, focusing on savings found away from the classroom. Chief Financial Officer Delores Perley said very little has changed since the first interim budget approved in December — revenue has increased by $2 million and expenditures are up by $1.5 million. The district is projecting to maintain an 11.6 percent reserve of $16 million but multi-year deficit spending will continue to erode the reserves. Reducing the deficit and restoring the reserves remains a priority, Perley said. As the district begins to prepare for the end of the school year and preparation of a new adopted budget, staff will look at ways to save when possible by lowering operational budgets to reflect actual spending, she said. SDHUSD Trustee Mo Muir again reiterated her disappointment with the $9.2 million deficit and expressed concerns about rising retirement costs. SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said

Solana Beach is evaluating submissions for a new gateway art project at the fire station on Lomas Santa Fe Drive.

Public art controversy surfaces in Solana Beach BY PHIL DIEHL In a region that’s had its share of public art controversy, a new battle may be brewing in Solana Beach over what will be installed on public land just west of Interstate 5, a gateway to the city. Officials have been working for nearly three years to find the right project for the space outside the city’s lone fire station on Lomas Santa Fe Drive, and have narrowed the choice to three finalists. The city’s Arts Commission is expected to make a final selection later this month and send it on to the City Council in April.

However, a new wrinkle turned up last week when two residents long active in the local arts scene went to a City Council meeting and said they wanted to see something different. “I’m very disappointed,” said Irene de Watteville, who works with ceramic sculptures and tiles. “Some of us had a vision of a dramatic sculpture.” She suggested the council issue a new request for proposals, perhaps with a bigger budget for the artwork. City leaders know there’s a lot at stake. “This is a landmark location, a big one,” said SEE PUBLIC ART, A19

the district is aware of inflation of retirement costs and they are built into the budget. He said he expects the district to see some revenue growth, but he ensured the board that they would not be spending every new dollar that comes in. Even if the district receives a “rosy revenue” picture from Governor Jerry Brown in May, he said he would still advise the district to move forward in capturing operational savings. “We need to hold tight on expenditures and we need to make effective use of increased revenue as it comes in to help bolster the reserves and close the deficit,” Dill said. The board will hold Local Control Accountability Plan (required by the LCCF) and budget workshops in April and May. In May, Dill will bring forward recommended additions and subtractions to be built into the budget. The budget will be brought back for approval in June. “Year in and year out, we reach a point around now where things are looking pretty desperate, but a great portion of that is because we are so conservative in our projections,” said SDUHSD Vice President Joyce Dalessandro. “By year end, it always looks better. I can’t think of a year that it didn’t. And I’ve been here a lot of years.”

Trail honors Marvin Gerst’s legacy BY KAREN BILLING The City of San Diego recently installed six signs on the Carmel Valley Restoration and Enhancement Project trails commemorating Marvin Gerst Trail. The popular Carmel Valley trail, which stretches between the eastern edge of the Palacio Del Mar neighborhood on Carmel Country Road to El Camino Real, was newly named in honor of the trail advocate who passed away in 2016. Gerst was a familiar sight on the Carmel Valley and Del Mar Mesa trails for over 25 years and was well known to city staff and decision makers. Local residents Anne Harvey and Lisa Ross led the effort to get the trail renaming approved by the Carmel Valley and Ocean Air Recreation Councils, the Carmel Valley and Torrey Hills Community Planning Boards and the San Diego City Parks and Recreation Board. The city made and installed the signs for free. Harvey and Ross shared Gerst’s valuable role in the creation of the CVREP: Carmel Valley was a

Six new signs now mark the CVREP trail as Marvin Gerst Trail.

4,000-acre master-planned community with a 1975 design that did not include any trails through open space, nor any trail connections to the adjacent emerging regional open space parks, Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve and the San Dieguito River Park. “The major developers were very reluctant to provide trails, in part because the city did not have any trail standards. Marvin Gerst was the first property owner/developer to convince his fellow property owners to nevertheless include a three-mile trail in their plans,” Harvey and Ross

stated in their proposal. “From that wildly successful starting point trail enthusiasts were able to argue, lobby, petition and demonstrate, on foot, on horse and on bike, to achieve the interconnected public trail system that we all enjoy today.” Over the years, Gerst continued to do his part, serving as the recreation representative on the Del Mar Mesa Community Planning Board, as an early member and later chair of the Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve Citizens Advisory Committee, and as a property owners’ representative and a member of the Project Review Committee for the San Dieguito River Park CAC. He passed away in May 2016 after a long fight with Parkinson’s disease. In addition to the signs, community members have stepped forward to fund a granite boulder with a bronze plaque depicting Gerst and his impressive and beloved spotted horse, Scout. The placement of the new trail monument is still being determined.

CCA ‘Driver’s Ed’ classroom course open to all high school students

The Canyon Crest Academy Foundation and Canyon Crest Academy Dollars for Scholars chapter are again offering their popular CCA Driver’s Education classroom courses at CCA. The cost of the four-day program is $89, and students can select from any of the three sessions being offered this year. The first session will be from April 10-13, second session from June 19-22, and the third session will be from Aug. 21-24, so pick the one that’s most convenient. All sessions will be held in CCA class rooms from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. Students should be approaching or already 15-and-a-half years of age to enroll in the Driver’s Education program. Teens who are not CCA students are welcome to attend these sessions. The benefits of a classroom-based program are that students finish in four days, receive

live instruction, experience interactive learning, learn lifesaving and defensive driving skills, and take multiple practice tests. Students will receive instruction from a licensed, insured instructor from Golden State Driving School. They will receive an official certificate of completion at the end of the session, verifying that all the DMV Driver’s Education requirements have been fulfilled. With this certificate, students who are 15-and-a-half or older will be able to take the DMV written test to obtain a learner’s permit. The learner’s permit is valid after the student completes one 2-hour driving lesson with an accredited driving school. Behind-the-Wheel Driver’s Training is not included in this program, but Golden State offers experienced Behind-the-Wheel instruction. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the

CCA Foundation and CCA Dollars for Scholars. This is the perfect answer for the busy student who doesn’t have time to deal with lengthy online Driver’s Ed programs, and wants to schedule the DMV written test now. For detailed information and to register, go to www.canyoncrest.dollarsforscholars.org and click on driver’s education. For questions, please email ccadfs@gmail.com. Registration is online only. Enrollment for each session will end one week before the first class begins. There will be no make-up dates for classes missed. Full refund to the student will be given if cancellation is received by DFS/CCAF more than 72 hours before the first day of class. If cancellation is received less than 72 hours before the first day of class, 50 percent of the registration fee will be refunded. This class is not available for high school course credit.

City, Winston School working together on plans for Shores Park BY JOE TASH Last summer, when Del Mar’s Winston School hired a new head of school, the city’s two top administrators stopped by to introduce themselves. At the time, the city was in the midst of a long-term effort to plan a public park on the Shores property, which Del Mar bought in 2008 for $8.5 million. The Winston School occupies one corner of the 5.5-acre parcel along 9th Street between Stratford Court and Camino Del Mar. During that meeting, City Manager Scott Huth and Assistant City Manager Kristen Crane learned that Dena Harris, the new head of school, had experience in working on shared-use park/school projects, and was interested in collaborating with the city. The city had also thought about working with the school to maximize the use of the Shores property, and so the discussion with Harris “was kind of a game-changer,” said Crane. In January, the City Council approved a memorandum of understanding that allows city staff to work with the school on potential collaborations, including shared facilities such as parking, an activity center and recreational fields. “We can build something better and beautiful” by working together, said Harris. “It’s a community asset. It should be developed together.” The city and school have long been in

Since then, the school has drawn against that sum in lieu of annual lease payments to the city. If the school once again helps raise money for new park improvements, it would seek a lease extension that gives it credit for the new contribution to Shores Park, said a city staff report for the January agenda item. Both Harris and Crane stressed that as the joint planning effort moves forward, the city plans to use the information it has already gathered from its community outreach efforts on planning the park.

“We are not going back to the drawing board, we will pursue what the community wants,” said Crane. The only thing that may change is how the different elements are configured on the property, she said. Following workshops, interviews of residents and a survey, it was determined that the community’s top priorities for the site include an off-leash dog area, playing fields, indoor meeting space, shade, picnic areas, parking and walking paths. Until now, Crane said, the city had been working with an L-shaped parcel around the school’s current location. But the school is open to looking at different options, from moving the school to another location on the property, to a smaller footprint for the school buildings, said Harris. “Nothing is set in stone other than a school and a park,” said Harris. Both Crane and Harris agreed that with flexibility and creativity, a more efficient use of the space may be achievable. “The property is only so big, and there are lots of things the community would like to fit in the park,” Crane said. Currently, the school serves grades 6 through 12, and it has about 120 students, Harris said. Winston School wants to replace its aging buildings, which date back decades. The campus housed a public elementary school from 1947 through the 1970s. SEE PLANS, A22

Full STEAM+ ahead Del Mar Schools Education Foundation spring campaign begins The Del Mar Schools Education Foundation (DMSEF) has begun its spring fundraising campaign to raise $2 million to support the STEAM+ credentialed specialists in all eight elementary schools in the Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD). The STEAM+ curriculum is one that integrates science, technology, engineering, the arts, mathematics and physical education into the general curriculum. Credentialed specialists who work in these specific areas are a critical component of this integration. Because of these specialists and the district’s remarkable teaching staff, the students of DMUSD receive the exceptional education that everyone expects for their children. To date, the DMSEF has raised over $860,000. Although impressive, they have not yet raised what is needed to maintain the existing staffing of specialists for next year. Over the next two months they will be working diligently to reach their goal by continuing to reach out to parents, local businesses and community members to help support this valuable program. "We are confident that our community will work together to raise what is needed to support the excellent education of our children" said Ty Humes, president and chairman of the DMSEF.

Skyline School students place 7th in the nation at WordMasters Challenge A team representing Skyline Elementary School achieved Highest Honors in the recent WordMasters Challenge — a national vocabulary competition involving nearly 150,000 students annually. The fifth grade team scored an impressive 183 points out of a possible 200 in the second of three meets this year, placing seventh in the nation. Competing in the Blue Division of the WordMasters Challenge, students from Skyline Elementary School who achieved outstanding results in the meet include fifth graders London Gilbert, Josie Martin, Avery Merson and Grace D. The students were coached in preparation for the WordMasters Challenge by their teacher, Shannon Applegate. The WordMasters Challenge is an exercise in critical thinking that first encourages students to become familiar with a set of interesting new words (considerably harder than grade level), and then challenges them to use those words to complete analogies expressing various kinds of logical relationships. Working to solve the analogies helps students learn to think both analytically and metaphorically. Although most vocabulary enrichment and analogy-solving programs are designed for use by high school students, WordMasters Challenge materials have been specifically created for younger students in grades three through eight. They are particularly well suited for children who are motivated by the challenge of learning new words and enjoy the logical puzzles posed by analogies. The WordMasters Challenge program is administered by a company based in Indianapolis, Indiana, which is dedicated to inspiring high achievement in American schools.

SDJA students make blankets for Israeli orphans BY KAREN BILLING an Diego Jewish Academy (SDJA) students are making blankets for the Lev LaLev Orphanage in Israel as part of Children Helping Children International’s BlanKids project. The plan is for SDJA students to make 95 blankets that will delivered in person by the seniors during their class trip to Israel. Fifth- and sixth-grade students got a start on the work March 8, snipping and weaving blue and green fleece blankets in teams. Tatiana Zunshine, the executive director of Children Helping Children International, was born in Russia. She was a human-rights activist, and said she was kicked out of her country for her actions, given just three days to pack. She has lived in America for 30 years and has continued in her humanitarian efforts, founding Children Helping Children as a way to show kids that they are never too young to make a difference. With the BlanKids project specifically, kids have an opportunity to do real hands-on work that will provide comfort and love to a child in need. With BlanKids, Zunshine typically pairs a school with an orphanage in need, but at SDJA she didn’t have to, as sixth-grader Bella Silberstein had already established a connection. Bella has been supporting the Lev LaLev orphanage for the last two years, raising money through selling bracelets and handmade cards, and in September she asked that instead of birthday gifts, her friends donate to Lev Lalev. Bella will have her Bat Mitzvah in Israel in the summer of 2018, so her ultimate goal is to visit the orphanage and have Lev LaLev girls join in her celebration. “I read about what Bella did in the paper and connected with her. I was inspired by her and decided to come to this school with the idea of making blankets,” Zunshine said. “I can’t thank Bella enough for the inspiration and thanks to the

Students participate in a variety of community service activities to help them learn that they have a responsibility to make the world a better place. Rabbi Baruch Rock said Tikkun Olam programs are seasonal and in the spring they celebrate the spirit of the Jewish holiday of Purim by giving gifts to the poor. “Remember every little inch of fabric you cut and tie: you’re making something filled with love, with the intention of helping those who are less fortunate than us,” Rabbi Rock told the students. While just fifth- and sixth-graders were working on the blankets last week, it is hoped that more students in the upper grades will also participate in the project.

Nature & Culture International helps Ecuador establish 6.3M-acre conservation corridor Culminating three years of collaboration by provincial and local governments, indigenous communities and Del Mar-based Nature and Culture International (NCI), the Provincial Council of Pastaza, Ecuador, established the 6.3-million-acre (2.5 million hectare) Pastaza Ecological Sustainable Use Area on Feb. 24. This vast area is larger than the state of Maryland and considered by scientists to be one of the most biodiverse areas on Earth. Antonio Kubes, prefect of Pastaza Province, who has been a key proponent for the creation of the protected area, noted that the creation of this reserve will underpin the sustainable development of the region, providing benefits to the local population, while protecting a global resource. Renzo Paladines, director of NCI Ecuador, said, “The creation of the Pastaza reserve is a global example

Local resident launches company to provide personalized cancer care BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe resident Blaise Barrelet recently launched CureMatch, a new company he believes could be the future of cancer treatment. CureMatch is a decision support platform designed to offer personalized medicine in cancer care. Operating on the belief that cancer is a personal disease that shouldn’t be treated with a one-size fits all treatments and procedures, the software technology enables matched combination therapies that are unique for individual patients based on the molecular profile of the patient’s tumor. “Matched combination has been shown to have higher response and survival rates than traditional chemotherapy or targeted mono-therapies,” Barrelet said. Barrelet, a native of France, has lived in Rancho Santa Fe for 18 years. A self-described “tech guy” and “serial entrepreneur,” he has started several successful businesses, including WebSide Story in 1996, one of the first internet businesses in San Diego. The company was also one of the first to provide web analytics for websites and he ended up selling it to Adobe Software in 2004 in a billion-dollar deal.

Barrelet then retired a “little bit” but didn’t really like being sidelined so decided to get back in the game helping other start-up businesses. He founded Analytics Ventures about five years ago, a venture-formation fund that works with scientists to create new data-enabled technology and software businesses. Barrelet’s latest venture, driven by a desire to help cancer patients, was a result of his own experience. Four years ago, while his wife was pregnant with their fourth child, he received the shocking diagnosis of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL). “The doctor told me ‘There’s good news and bad news. The good news is: it takes time to kill you. The bad news is: there is no cure,’” Barrelet said. “At first I felt really numb, I didn’t understand, I had it all, I had fun building companies and I had made lots of money. My next reaction to cancer was anger: ‘Why me?’ The third reaction was: ‘I’m going to beat this.’” He was fortunate to be living in San Diego, where the top CLL specialists in the world work at UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center. Barrelet wasn’t sure that chemo was the best course of action for him so he started the process of learning all he could

about targeted-therapy drugs, drug combination therapy and the use of DNA sequencing. The more he learned about the “amazing” and “phenomenal” developments in the cancer treatment field, and the more his health benefited from the alternative to chemotherapy, the more he was determined to start a company that would help others. CureMatch uses technology originally created and licensed by a multi-disciplinary team at Moores Cancer Center and the San Diego Supercomputer Center. Using the latest molecular profiling tools, such as next-generation sequencing, CureMatch identifies the unique nature of the patients’ tumor and helps personalize the most advanced treatment options, including targeted therapy and immunotherapy. With combination therapy, it’s possible to use combinations of drugs to target multiple cancer mutations at the same time. Barrelet said CureMatch is the result of his two incredibly smart co-founders: Igor Tsigelny and Razelle Kurzrock. Tsigelny, a research professor at San Diego SuperComputer Center and Moores Cancer Center, is world-renowned

Blaise Barrelet

OTTO

expert in structural biology, molecular modeling, bioinformatics and structure-based drug design. Kurzrock is a pioneer in pathology and combination therapy who serves as the director of the Center for Personalized Cancer Therapy and Clinical Trials Office and is senior deputy director for clinical science at Moores Cancer Center. The way a non-medical person like Barrelet likes to explain what they do is by using the analogy of boats floating on water — cancer is the water that comes and punches holes in the boat. Every hole is a genetic aberration. Barrelet compares chemo to using a bucket to bail water out of the boat as it is sinking and mono-target therapy can plug the biggest hole in the boat but water can still find a way in. Cancer treatment has changed and there are now 300 FDA-approved cancer drugs designed to go after the

variety of different holes in a boat. “What we’re doing at CureMatch with matched combination therapy is quite complex —effectively plugging every hole in the boat. Of the 300 cancer drugs there are 4.5 million possibilities to combine drugs. It’s so complex because there’s so much data,” Barrelet said. “We take the data and make insight out of it and figure out the best drugs for each patient.” CureMatch produces the top five to 10 combinations for each patient and scores them with a unique scoring system to rank treatment options to optimize patient care. The patient then goes to their oncologist with actionable knowledge — it is not a substitute for the physician’s decision, but provides the physician with a score for any options they have in mind and provides new combinations of drugs. With cancer care, Barrelet said he hopes to see something similar to what happened with HIV, which is now primarily treated by combination therapy due to patient advocacy. “Cancer patients are the best ambassadors. When you know you’re going to die, you’re willing to do anything. That’s the best way to change things,” Barrelet said. “To me, it’s so enjoyable to do something using my skills, net worth and knowledge that is about more than just making money. This is about saving other people, empowering patients and making a difference.” To learn more, visit curematch.com

Local gymnast headed to state championships BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley’s Jonathan Saenz, 12, will be competing at the state gymnastics championships March 18-19. Jonathan earned his spot by winning the pommel horse and high bar events at the Champion Gymnastics South Conference regionals and placing fourth overall in the Level 5 age group of 13+ even though he doesn’t turn 13 until May. The competition was Jonathan’s biggest since returning to the sport after taking a five-year break. “I didn’t know what to expect because I just started, it was surprising to win,” said Jonathan, a 7th grader at Earl Warren Middle School. “I guess I wasn’t nervous; I was just hoping I would place. I knew I wouldn’t mess up.” Jonathan took the time off from gymnastics to play baseball — he played on the Del Mar American Little League and California Lookouts travel baseball team. He now trains at San Diego United Training Center and still plays on a little league baseball team. As he was young when he stepped away from gymnastics, Jonathan essentially had to start over. He is now training four days a week for three-hour sessions. Leading up to the championships, he feels most confident about his favorite and best events of pommel horse and high bars, and will focus on sharpening his routines on the rings, floor exercise, vault and t-bars.

Jonathan Saenz shows off his winning medals from regionals. While he said it would be nice to place high at the upcoming championships, he knows it will be some of the strongest competition he’s faced in his renewed gymnastics career. Mostly he is just happy to get the chance to compete. “I just want to have fun,” Jonathan said. “If you’re not having fun, then it’s just a waste of time.”

OUR READERS WRITE Double teaming Ms. Sutton Regarding the two letters sent in last week condemning Marsha Sutton’s weekly education column, I feel compelled to weigh in. “Careless” is the last word I would use to describe Ms. Sutton. While I may not always agree with her, I have always been impressed by how carefully she develops and supports her point of view for readers. I am puzzled that one of the complaints was that she takes too long to lay out her argument. It reminds me of how proud Sean Spicer was recently, showing off how much thinner the GOP healthcare plan is compared to the Affordable Care Act, as if brevity is the gold standard, not substance. I am thankful there are still reporters and columnists out there like Ms. Sutton, conducting thorough investigations and painstakingly gathering information, dedicated to the best of what journalism should be. It was Ms. Sutton’s detailed scrutiny of the property tax increase following the passage of this district’s school bond in 2012 that uncovered the fact that every household in the district was being erroneously overcharged. Because of her investigation, our tax bills were lowered. Over the years I have found her research to be meticulous, her commentary thoughtful, and her perspective, while at times controversial, always refreshingly honest. Her courageous outspokenness is one of the things about her column I respect and admire the most. Now, more than ever, we need this kind of journalistic integrity. I am grateful to Ms. Sutton for her excellent work, and I am grateful to the Carmel Valley News for publishing her column. Kim Perl Carmel Valley

Remind DM City Council of our Prop J vote To my fellow Del Mar residents who think they voted down major changes to the traffic flow in downtown Del Mar with the defeat of Prop J, that is not the case! The City Attorney opined: The Village Plan was a comprehensive planning document which addressed many aspects of development in the Commercial District and one cannot draw any conclusions on what features of the plan were disapproved by the voters. I interpret her words to

mean that the City has no obligation (nor intention) to honor our vote against sharrow lanes, diagonal parking, removal of left turn pockets, and other changes that will make travel much more difficult along the spine of our city. It is imperative to remind the council of our Prop J vote. The Camino Del Mar Streetscape Plan for downtown Del Mar is scheduled to be on the Del Mar City Council agenda April 3 (as per the latest council agenda). Please mark your calendars and don’t miss it! The council meeting will be one of the first times the public will have the opportunity to hear a status update and council discussion of what comes next, as the council-appointed subcommittee meetings to discuss the plan were closed to the public. I overheard a council member say it is important to continue the sharrow lane (bikes and cars share the lane, each with equal access to the full lane) that is in Solana Beach, as it will be confusing to cyclists if we are not consistent along the entire coast. I prefer to think we should design for the approximately 40,000 motorists on CDM each day rather than cyclists who number far fewer. Please let your voice be heard! See you at the council meeting! Nancy Stoke Del Mar

Sutton’s columns informative and enlightening I must say that I was a bit shocked to read two separate letters to the editor regarding term limits for columnists and that both were directed at Marsha Sutton. I have always found Marsha’s columns to be clearly-written and well-informed. As a result of my own observations, the common use of the out-of-context “term limits,” and the fact that both letters were directed at Marsha Sutton, I can only conclude that there is collusion here and that a great deal of water has already flowed under this bridge. I am pleased that you have Marsha Sutton writing columns for you as I find them informative and enlightening. With a child in the educational system here in SDUHSD, I tend to count on Marsha Sutton to present a well-reasoned assessment of what’s out there in the weeds. Lastly, I have always found that folks seek “fresh vitality, energy and new ideas” as long as it all comports with their own perspective.

Don’t mess with Camino del Mar ONE VIEW BY GORDON CLANTON he Del Mar City Council is considering radical changes to Camino del Mar (CDM), also known as the Coast Highway or Old 101. Among the most troublesome proposals: (1) Narrowing northbound CDM to one lane between Carmel Valley Road and Del Mar Heights Road; (2) closing the northbound CDM left-turn lane onto Fourth Street; and (3) closing the easy right turn from westbound Carmel Valley Road onto northbound CDM, requiring cars to stop at the traffic signal before turning right – all this in the name of traffic calming and expanding opportunity for cyclists and pedestrians. I have urged the council to reject these and related modifications to Del Mar’s main street. The

cumulative effect would make traffic much worse at dinner time, especially during racing and fair seasons – and with no compensatory benefits. Improvements for cyclists and pedestrians can be provided without making these changes. The proposed changes would result in more traffic on 15th, Via Alta, and Crest Road and adjacent hillside streets including Hoska and Amphitheater – making it harder for Del Mar residents to get home from work. Some Carmel Valley Road residents would choose Portofino Drive and Mango Drive to get to downtown Del Mar. If the city closes the CDM northbound left-turn lane at Fourth Street, how will folks who live in apartments at the south end of Stratford Court get home from work at UCSD? Narrowing CDM was part of Proposition J, defeated by Del Mar voters in 2012 by 58 to 42 percent. Now it seems city staff and council want to

You should know that I actually get more from multiple perspectives than I do from everyone being in agreement. Happy to see differing opinions, but not happy to see such obvious collusion. John Kuberra Carmel Valley

Climate change is happening now Bill Stoops expresses skepticism about human-caused climate change in his letter of March 9. As he says, the climate has always changed, but global average temperatures have changed in lockstep with atmospheric carbon dioxide levels for as long as we have evidence. The current atmospheric carbon dioxide level of 400 parts per million is the highest in at least the past 800,000 years and probably much longer. The physics of how such greenhouse gases increase temperature has been understood for 150 years. The climate is now warming much faster than any normal historical rate, too fast for many species of animals and plants to adapt. All major U.S. scientific societies have adopted statements urging action to address this human-caused problem, and 97 percent of active climate scientists agree. This may be an appeal to authority, but if I had heart trouble and 97 percent of cardiologists agreed on the diagnosis and treatment, I would take their advice. Climate change is not just a future projection based on models, it is happening now. Arctic sea ice is melting now. Streets and homes in Florida are flooding now due to sea level rise. Reliable direct temperature measurements go back to 1880, and show that 16 of the 17 hottest years on record occurred since 2001. The Pentagon considers climate change to be a national security risk. If an asteroid were going to strike the Earth in five years, we could take action provided we believed the astronomers who were trying to warn us. If we waited until the asteroid was visible in the sky to everyone, it would be too late. Mr. Stoops suggests that government action to combat climate change would be immoral. On the contrary, the moral argument for such action is laid out in Pope Francis’ 2015 Encyclical on Climate Change and Inequality, which I recommend to all readers. Jeff Rabin Carmel Valley bring back the narrowing proposal with no intention of taking a vote of the people. This would be a serious error, likely result in another ballot initiative in opposition – and more division. Let council members know how you feel. Gene Schwartz. A memorial event for Gene Schwartz (1925-2017) was held last Saturday at Southfair. A book publisher and Renaissance man, Gene wrote columns in the local press in the 1980s, mine and his often juxtaposed as “Column Left” and “Column Right.” In his last years, Gene worked on two volumes of his collected columns. A follower of libertarian Ayn Rand, Gene staunchly supported business and development interests. Among those attending were Jim Watkins, who built L’Auberge Del Mar, and Ivan Gayler and David Winkler, developers of the Del Mar Plaza shopping center – two Del Mar landmarks sold long ago to outside interests. – Gordon Clanton teaches sociology at San Diego State University.

FROM PUBLIC ART, A4 Assistant City Manager Danny King. “There’s a great view of the ocean, a lot of pedestrians walk by, motorists drive by. It’s always been a high priority site.” Solana Beach and other nearby communities have been down the public art road before, sometimes choosing pieces that are widely praised or universally panned. Encinitas has its Magic Carpet Ride, a surfing statue that was mercilessly derided when it was unveiled in 2007, but has since morphed into a beloved and quirky icon. A bigger flub was Carlsbad’s “Split Pavilion,” a 9-foot-tall set of bars that the city commissioned in 1991 along Highway 101 — then removed five years later after countless complaints. Public money spent on the debacle topped more than $300,000. New public art projects surface every few years because many cities require a small percentage of their capital improvement budgets to be set to pay for public art such as sculptures and fountains at fire stations,

this region, and the threatened giant otter can be found here along with jaguars and tapirs. The area is also very culturally diverse, and the establishment of the Pastaza Sustainable Use Area will protect the lands of several indigenous nationalities that reside in the area including the Shuar, Achuar, Kichwa, Zápara, Andoa, Shiwiar and Waorani. The process to declare the Pastaza Sustainable Use Area began three years ago

and included extensive consultation processes with municipal governments, indigenous nations and communities residing in the area. NCI served as a technical advisor to the Pastaza government, working in concert with stakeholders to develop baseline data, define reserve boundaries, and provide information needed for establishment of the area. Watershed reserves for three of Pastaza’s largest towns have been incorporated into

the core conservation zone of the Pastaza Area. “The creation of the Pastaza Sustainable Use Area is a visionary declaration and a true gift to the Earth,” said Byron Swift, president of NCI. “NCI is proud to be a part of this process, and we look forward to working with the provincial and municipal governments and indigenous nations to protect this area for generations to come.” Visit natureandculture.org

aquatics centers, and libraries. Getting the right people involved in the selection is a start, said Carlsbad Mayor Matt Hall, who was elected after the Split Pavilion controversy but understands how fraught choosing public art can be. Assembling a carefully chosen committee of residents with local art experience can ease the process, he said. “If you look at all the cultural art that’s been created (in Carlsbad) over the last 30 years, over 90 percent of it is excellent,” Hall said. ”But art is in the eye of the beholder.” In Solana Beach, the city issued a request for proposals in April laying out a $70,000 budget for the fire station project. It received nine proposals, and the city’s Public Arts Commission has narrowed those to three teams of finalists who made presentations at the commission’s meeting in February. The designs include one with a fire theme created by artist Betsy Schulz, one with a whale’s tail (and maybe a tale) by artist Brett Reisdorf and a less defined proposal by artist

Danny Salzhandler. One of the residents who would like to see the process restarted is art consultant Naomi Nussbaum, who said she’s a 25-year resident and a former member of the city’s Arts Commission. “(The fire station) is a fantastic location,” she said. “The area shouts out for a very strong piece.” She asked for the city to rewrite its request to be more clear about how much of the project is landscaping and how much is art. Steve Ostrow, a member of the Arts Commission, said it’s not clear what will happen next. “Art can be controversial, just by the nature of its subjectiveness,” Ostrow said. Choosing art for a public place requires a lot of work, feedback, diplomacy and consensus building, he said, and the commission has does its best to keep the project within guidelines set by the City Council. “These are quality pieces that have been submitted,” he said. They fall within the

budget for the project, and meet the guidelines for a “turnkey” project. North County’s coastal communities seem especially sensitive to art controversies, but the projects usually outlive their opponents. The Magic Carpet Ride sculpture, by artist Matthew Antichevich, has morphed into a popular attraction — in part because residents love to dress it up on special occasions and have dubbed it “The Cardiff Kook.” Another Solana Beach art project, a sheet-metal seagull with a 6-foot wingspan, met mixed reactions when it was installed at Fletcher Cove in 2010. The 400-pound bird was created in 1940 on the East Coast, and was a gift to Solana Beach. Before the installation, a 45-day public comment period elicited 66 comments on the idea, including 38 opposed to the idea. Still, on a split vote, the council voted to install the gull on a 10-foot pole near the park entrance, where it still flies today. – Phil Diehl is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

FROM FAIRGROUNDS, A2 supposed to do business,” Watson said. However, board members who sit on subcommittees working on the project and its financing, said that before any final decision is made to borrow money for the project, the board would have to approve the transaction. Board president Russ Penniman said the board’s action on Tuesday will allow the 22nd DAA to bring the proposed project forward to the California Department of General Services, which must also approve the loan, according to the district’s legal counsel. Director Lee Haydu, a former Del Mar councilwoman, said she understood Watson’s point, and that she would have preferred to be provided with more written documentation about the financing proposal before the meeting. But she voted to support the motion allowing the plan to move forward. According to Penniman, the architect hired by the agency has estimated that construction will cost $9.5 million, while an earlier study put the price tag at $11 million. He said the

FROM DEVELOPER, A2 walkways, not unlike the concept behind the Montage blufftop resort in Laguna Beach. “I was born and raised in San Diego, and until a year ago, I had never set foot on this property because it’s all private,” said Robert Green, whose downtown hotel project was a partnership with Pendry’s parent company, Montage International. “One could just build 25 super luxury single-family homes, but that would mean the only people who could enjoy that property would be those 25 families. The idea of building a luxury hotel is much better for the community not only financially, but it also opens up the property to public access forever so anyone can come and stay there, and dine there.” Green would not reveal the financial terms of the deal with the landowners.

final price will likely fall within that range. District officials sought authority to borrow up to $13 million to be able to cover any contingencies. A business plan prepared for the project in 2016 assumed the district would pay an interest rate of 6 percent to borrow the money, but current information has pegged the rate lower, at between 4.2 and 4.5 percent, officials said. Penniman said the construction loan could be structured to be paid back over 20 years, with potential annual debt service of about $900,000 if the full $13 million is borrowed. Among the financing options would be a loan from IBank, or the California Infrastructure and Development Bank, a state-owned financial institution, said Penniman. Last year, the city of Del Mar financed the construction of its new city hall through IBank. Penniman said the 22nd DAA may be able to finance a portion of the construction costs with cash from its reserves. Over the past several years, the district has been considering new uses for the 91,000-square-foot satellite wagering center, called the Surfside Race Place, which is located on the fairgrounds property. Attendance has fallen

One of those owners, Ross Gilbert, has called the blufftop area home for nearly 30 years, likening it to “living as close to heaven as possible.” The idea of converting the area to a resort, he said, “is a natural for this particular location.” Another property owner had earlier received approval to convert a portion of the land into five gated mansions, but those plans are now on hold, said Brad Termini, CEO of Zephyr, which specializes in luxury mixed-use housing projects on the coast. “We went to the city and said it would be a shame to have that site closed off to the public for another 100 years, so we want to introduce a plan that has exceptional public benefits and welcomes the community to the site, rather than a plan that gates large mansions for the next 100

sharply in recent years, and the 22nd DAA wants to generate more revenue from the building. A study last year by Cal State San Marcos business students determined a concert venue at the site would be financially viable. The 22nd DAA is considering a partnership with the Belly Up Tavern, a Solana Beach music club, to book talent for the new concert venue. District officials are also working with the California Coastal Commission to determine if any change to the 22nd DAA’s current coastal permit would be needed for the concert venue. Director Stephen Shewmaker, who heads up the subcommittee overseeing the project, said the Surfside Race Place is permitted for up to 5,000 visitors per day, and the concert venue would seat only 1,900. “We don’t see any major issues with the Coastal Commission,” Shewmaker said. Watson also said he is concerned that, although the board approved spending seed money on the project in January, it seems to be moving forward quickly, with officials discussing a tentative opening date in September 2018.

years, said Termini, whose company is currently building a 170-unit condo project near Doheny State Beach in Dana Point. Before the developers even map out specifics of the project, they will be meeting with the surrounding community, including neighboring residents in Solana Beach, to solicit input. Dates have not been set, but the city of Del Mar requires such community feedback before projects are designed. While there have been inquiries in the past from developers about building out the blufftop land with a hotel, the Green-Zephyr project marks the first formal undertaking of such a development, said Del Mar City Manager Scott Huth. “Our hope is that the public can walk between the proposed project and the edge of the bluff to enjoy those views, and the developers know that’s a goal and they’re embracing that,” he said.

“This property has good access to the highway and fairgrounds nearby but there will also be challenges. It’s how do you design something that works in the community and also addresses neighbors’ concerns in Solana Beach. It’s going to be a very delicate combination of listening and coming up with a design that doesn’t increase impacts to the communities around them,” Huth said. Development of a hotel, though, is several years off, considering the need for an environmental impact report and a lengthy entitlement process that would include a hearing before the California Coastal Commission. “We’re in the first stage of a very long road,” said Termini, “so it’s difficult to provide timing on this.” — Lori Weisberg is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

Canyon Crest Academy parent Rajy Abulhosn referenced a basketball game between Torrey Pines High School and Canyon Crest Academy where students briefly chanted “Build that wall.” SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said that, in light of recent national events, the district has received a number of questions regarding its policies. “This resolution was drafted to reiterate and reaffirm the board’s commitment to providing a world-class public education and safe schools for all students irrespective of their immigration status, ancestry, color, disability, gender, gender identity, gender expression, nationality, race or ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, socio-economic status or beliefs or association with any of those,” SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said. “What the resolution would also do is embrace the diversity of our community… reaffirming that we are opening and accepting and that we have safe schools for all of our students.” The resolution also affirms that the district complies with the law by not inquiring about immigration status nor maintaining documentation of a student’s legal status or disclosing that information to third parties. Everything included in the resolution is already included in various existing school policies. “(The resolution) puts it all together within

one place and makes a statement to our students so they know that we support them and that they’re safe,” SDUHSD President Amy Herman said. The resolution was met with support and thanks during public comment from parents, teachers and students — Torrey Pines’ Grace Bashour, an immigrant from Syria, and Noah Garcia, representing Torrey Pines’ Genders and Sexuality Alliance (GSA), said the district’s resolution was meaningful to them, providing them with a “backbone of support.” “Ultimately my goal in speaking up wasn’t to create dissent or simply to expose problems, it really was my hope that we could bridge gaps and facilitate solutions,” Abulhosn said. “This resolution does that and I am very appreciative.” Brenda Robinette, a teacher in the English-language learner program at Torrey Pines, also thanked the board for the resolution, as she considers it an honor to serve and care for some of the most diverse students in the school. “I especially love working with kids who know how special it is to be able to go to school in the United States, where they get the opportunity to create the kind of future that they know they deserve,” said Robinette. She said teachers dedicate themselves to make sure every student feels important, successful and valued. “The resolution reflects what is in each of our hearts.” Torrey Pines teacher Don Collins, who runs the Peer Assisted Listeners (PALs) program at school, said he works hard to foster student connectedness at school, especially with new students — he said the 2,600-student school had more than 200 transfer students from around the world. He said student wellness centers on students feeling connected and being treated with dignity and respect.

“Your proclamation is a good-faith promise to promote a safe and inclusive place for all students to come and learn and grow. You heard from two amazing students who found a home, who found friend groups and, as a result, they became student leaders. They had to start somewhere, and that somewhere had to be a safe place. They had to be themselves and they had to be themselves to thrive,” Collins said. “This proclamation makes it a clear and loud statement to all the student families: You matter to us, we are here to teach you.” Erin Charnow, who teaches math in the Newcomer Academy at La Costa Canyon and serves as an advisor for the GSA club, said she has the opportunity to reach some of the school’s most vulnerable populations. The majority of students in the Newcomer Academy are new immigrants from Central America, primarily Guatemala, and she said hearing the board’s proposed resolution put them at ease and alleviated fears they had about even coming to campus. She ensured them it is their right in America to have an education— “It’s suddenly given them a voice which they didn’t feel they had,” Charnow said. Charnow also shared the resolution with her GSA club, many of whom are only out in the club and not to their families. “To say that the school is the one place they can be themselves, means so much to them,” Charnow said, noting one student was made to use a special bathroom and use a utility closet to change for PE at their last school after coming out. SDUHSD Trustee John Salazar said he doesn’t typically like resolutions because they have no teeth. He questioned what would be done differently after the resolution is passed. Dill said he would be communicating the board’s position to 18,000 district contacts and

reiterating that message until it becomes the district’s accepted “brand.” The resolution also directs Dill to work with site principals to engage in activities that promote tolerance and inclusion and to provide training to staff. “Aren’t we pretty much already doing that?” Salazar asked. “We are doing that but there’s nothing that says we can’t do a better job,” Dill said. “One of the issues that we have is that each school is doing something different…I think we need to start looking at a more unified approach…find what works and set to replicate and repeat that from school to school.” During public comment, parent Lucile Lynch also wanted to ensure that there was action behind the resolution, including addressing transportation needs of students in the La Colonia and Eden Gardens communities, and equal education and workforce training for students with disabilities. Not everyone at the meeting was in support of the resolution. “I object to this resolution, I see it as an attempt to state a political opinion…it is not a proper use of the time, the attention and the resources of this district,” said Carmel Valley resident John Turnage. Turnage said he felt that it is a much better use of public resources to pay attention to issues that can be addressed by legitimate functions of the district rather than to apply “good intentions to political situations which they cannot effectively influence.” “If we feel fear and anxiety about recent events, it is not coming from the district,” Turnage said. “It’s not coming from here and I think that pretending that it might come from here is likely to produce the same fear and anxiety that you’re trying to comfort people about.”

FROM SPEED, A1 or playgrounds, or senior citizen facilities. Another 21 segments were recommended for no changes, and nine road segments were recommended for changes. Those recommended changes included posting speed limits where there are currently no speed limit signs, reducing speed limits and - in three cases - increasing the speed limit. The road segments recommended for increase included Highway 101 between Cliff Street and the north city limit, from 35 to 40 mph; Las Banderas Drive from Lomas Santa Fe to San Andreas Drive, 30 to 35 mph; and Stevens Avenue, from Lomas Santa Fe to San Rodolfo Drive, from 30 to 35 mph. According to the city staff report presented to the council, when a traffic survey is conducted, the speed limit is recommended to be set based on the speed at or below that at which 85 percent of the motorists are driving. However, council members seemed reluctant to raise speed limits, particularly when motorists are driving faster than posted limits. Councilwoman Jewel Edson said she “heartily” opposed raising the speed limits for the three segments recommended by the consultant. “It seems like we are rewarding people who speed by increasing the speed limit for them,” Edson said. After discussing the proposed changes, the council rejected the proposed speed limit increases for two of the three road segments recommended by the consultant. They also decided to lower the speed limit on Highland Drive, between Lomas Santa Fe Drive and San Lucas Drive, from 35 mph to 25 mph, although the consultant had

recommended no change for that section of roadway. In doing so, the council noted the proximity of the golf course at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club and the golf carts that cross the road. City Manager Greg Wade said that if the council chose to set the speed limit lower than that recommended by the traffic survey, Sheriff’s deputies would not be able to use radar to enforce the speed limit for that section of roadway, or to defend against court challenges if a citation is issued. Deputies could still enforce the speed limit by “pacing,” or driving along with a vehicle, he said. Following are the speed limit changes approved by the council: • Highland Drive, from San Mario Drive to Lomas Santa Fe. Currently not posted, set to 35 mph. •Highway 101, Cliff Street to north city limit, increased from 35 mph to 40 mph. •Highway 101, from Dahlia southbound for 850 feet, from 40 mph to 35 mph due to angled parking, sharrows and closely spaced driveways. (Set to 40 mph for the rest of the way to Via de la Valle.) •Las Banderas Drive, from Lomas Santa Fe to San Andreas, reduced from 30 mph to 25 mph. • Marine View Drive, from San Andreas Drive to Solana Drive, from not posted to 30 mph. •Stevens Avenue, from San Rodolfo Drive to Genevieve, reduced from 40 mph to 35 mph. •Stevens Avenue, from Genevieve to Nardo Avenue, reduce from 40 mph to 35 mph. • Stevens and Valley avenues, from Nardo Avenue to Via de la Valle, reduced from 40 mph to 35 mph. •Highland Avenue, from Lomas Santa Fe to San Lucas Drive, reduced from 35 mph to 25 mph.

FROM PLANS, A7 In addition to the school, the Shores property now includes a small community center, a baseball field that doubles as a dog park during certain hours, and a large parking lot. Many vantage points offer sweeping ocean views. Crane said the city and school are exploring details of how park facilities could be shared and whether the two entities will ultimately work together to develop the Shores property. If the partnership moves forward, specific

FROM HOUSING, A2 were demolished, for a net increase of six new housing units. The bulk of the new units permitted since 2010, or 24 units, were in the category of “above moderate income,” said the report, while a total of only three units have been created in the “moderate,” “low income,” or “very low income” categories. However, a number of new projects are either planned or proposed that would increase the city’s housing stock, particularly for those with low or moderate incomes. For example, in 2014, the city approved The Pearl, a “very low income” project on South Sierra Avenue, with 10 units. Residents unsuccessfully challenged the project in court. According to the report, a building permit has not yet been issued. Also, in December, the city approved a mixed-use development for 330 South

FROM COACHES, A1 certain parents.” Torrie Norton, SDUHSD associate superintendent of human resources, said notices were posted for all of the coaching positions on the list and interviews were conducted. Norton said coaches are vetted by human resources and candidates must go through CPR(cardiopulmonary resuscitation) and first aid training, drug screening and finger printing. Additionally, the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) requires that coaches complete sudden cardiac arrest training, a concussion training and a six-hour long coach’s training course. At that point, Norton said the school sites are then notified that the coaches have been cleared so that they can begin working with students. SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said the district also holds mandatory coaches meetings prior to every season. Certificated teachers in the district do have priority in the hiring process for coaches, but Dill said it is challenging because they can’t force teachers to coach. “When we don’t have willing certificated coaches that’s when we go out to ‘walk-on’ coaches,” Dill said. Former Torrey Pines parent Elaine Kooima said the issue she has found with some contract “walk-on” coaches is that they have zero or minimal training on how to work with high school students. Kooima pointed out that the California Educational Code states every high school student is entitled to fair and equitable treatment and have equal opportunity to practice and access to competitive facilities. Supervisory staff is also required to

development scenarios will come back to the council within the next couple of months, and then a community workshop will be held to gauge reaction to the alternative proposals, possibly in June. Also in the works is a study to determine potential costs for development of the park and school facilities. When the city launched its planning process, it did not set a target budget for development of the park, said Crane. Instead, officials opted to find out what the community wanted in the park, and then determine the costs, she said. Cedros Ave., which includes eight rental apartments. Because the apartments will be rented at market rates, the developer will be charged $258,000 as an affordable housing impact fee, with the money going into a fund to pay for future affordable housing projects, said city staff. During the council’s discussion of the report, Councilwoman Ginger Marshall questioned why the city’s housing element shows three potential low-income projects on South Sierra Avenue, including The Pearl, saying that she didn’t want the street to become “affordable housing row.” City Manager Gregory Wade said the element can include city-owned properties as potential sites for affordable housing projects, but that no projects have been proposed on South Sierra other than The Pearl. The council voted 4-1, with Marshall opposed, to approve the update report for submission to the state department of Housing and Community Development. investigate and protect every student from harassment, intimidation and bullying. Kooima said she was disappointed in the district’s response when she reported inequitable treatment and harassment to multiple players by a Torrey Pines contracted coach. Kooima said she was “humiliated” and her complaints were reduced to a “trivial concern” by then- Principal David Jaffe and former Superintendent Rick Schmitt. She said she was told her complaints were just about “playing time” and she was told the principal did not have to meet with her because she did not follow protocol. “No protocol was ever stated or given to me and it is not published on any website. Also, there is no law that says following protocol is more important than the well-being of a student. None whatsoever,” Kooima said. “And the law states that every case of bullying must be investigated immediately. I got blown off.” Kooima said she believes that this kind of “awful, abusive treatment” is still happening at district schools and requested that the board carefully choose contracted coaches and to take complaints more seriously. SDUHSD Trustee John Salazar agreed that the district should look more carefully at coaches, noting there is one pending complaint against one of the district sports teams, currently under investigation. Salazar said he is also concerned with an allegation regarding district coaches that have close connections with club teams — he is concerned that coaches are making money off of students, requiring them to play for club teams in order to make the school team. He said when he hears allegations and complaints like that, he intends for the district to deeply investigate those issues.

Author urges teen writers to heed ‘the Whispers of Story’ at CCA Writers’ Conference BY SEBASTIAN MONTES eality, we know, can be a tangled, chaotic mess. Mary E. Pearson’s words carried out over the auditorium at Canyon Crest Academy on Saturday morning, March 11, an ingot of truth carefully molded for the 200 teenagers who hung on her every word. The New York Times best-selling author — by way of Carlsbad — counseled and consoled the aspiring writers, commiserating with their fears, waxing poetic on the transformative power of storytelling — at one point “a unique kind of magic,” and later, “the only reason mankind has survived” — and exhorting them not to fall prey to regret for things not done and never tried. It was an ultimatum of sorts, a gauntlet thrown down at the feet of anyone as obsessed with story as she is. “The truth is always there — simmering, whispering, a story that won’t go away,” she said. “It’s a recurring ache within us. Maya Angelou said there’s no agony like bearing an untold story within you. She understands that weight, and so do you. That’s why you’re here … You see images and you hear voices and you don’t need medication for it. A pen or a keyboard is your only cure. You have to answer the call.” Pearson’s words opened CCA’s sixth iteration of its annual Writers’ Conference, an all-day confab of accomplished wordsmiths and 200 students who hope to take up their mantle. The two dozen authors on hand — from playwrights to journalists to graphic novelists — dispensed hard-earned wisdom to the eager horde of aspiring writers, insights into the creative process, fine-tuned techniques from their careers spent stringing one word after the next. Started in 2012 by then-president of CCA’s creative writing group Devyn Krevat, the conference has grown stronger each year, maturing into a mutually beneficial day of mentorship. That success is due in large part to continued guidance from Devyn’s mother Kathy Krevat — herself an accomplished author — as the conference has grown in size (it includes students from a half dozen schools), sponsorship (organizers believe it to be the only free writing conference for high school students in the country), and prestige (this year’s speakers boasted an all-time high of New

York Times best-sellers). “It’s making a name for itself, it’s getting more recognition,” said CCA senior Julia Camilleri, taking a moment from tending to the logistics of her final conference. “We’re being sponsored by a publishing agency this year, which is really cool, and authors are starting to reach out to us ask to speak. It’s a really good experience for young authors and it’s a really inspiring experience. You go home and you are really motivated to start writing, even if you were not much of a writer before.” Saturday’s workshops saw authors and students sharing insights and struggles alike. Graphic novelist Jim Pascoe invoked an anecdote from his work on Buffy the Vampire Slayer to illuminate how one well-placed image can convey action that no amount of dialogue could. Matthew Wolf explained how seemingly trivial details were the key to conjuring a world as massive yet believable as the one he created in his Ronin Saga. Sylvia Mendoza helped her participants compose a would-be news article about the conference, tweaking variations in structure and tone to tailor the article for different kinds of audiences. James Matlack Raney teased apart the appeal of great — and not so great — action sequences from The Iliad to Sharknado. “I had nothing like this,” Raney, author of the Jim Morgan Books, said after his session, the fifth year he’s presented at the conference. “I just kind of learned through hard knocks. I wrote things that were really bad and I just had to put them out there and people had to tell me they were bad. So to come to a place where I could have learned some techniques before trying would have been awesome. If you’re a kid and you’re interested in writing, this is the place for you.” Whatever the genre, the authors hewed close to one abiding theme: writing is the only way to conquer its inevitable obstacles. Then keep writing. And then write some more after that — no matter the frustrations and doubts sure to arise. “Oh let me count the ways that fear creeps into a writer’s soul,” Pearson mused in her keynote address. “The blank pages, the endless blank pages. They’re like something out of a Alfred Hitchcock film —square white birds pecking and pecking at you. And then there’s the clock: it’s not ticking, it’s screaming at you.” Complicit with fear is failure, but she hammered home again and again that

Pearson talks with a student while signing a copy of one of her books. failure is indispensable to success, summoning adages from towering figures as diverse as Thomas Edison and Michael Jordan, as Lao Tzu and Jim Carrey. In each instance, she said, failure was more than merely unavoidable, it was utterly necessary. For Pearson, fear had its root in her own chaotic childhood, both at home and in the world at large. She recalled the duck-and-cover air raid drills, desks shoved together as supposed shelter for the terrified children huddling beneath. She recalled standing for a moment of silence when news broke that John F. Kennedy had been assassinated. She recalled the images in news magazines of people setting themselves on fire in a mysterious place called Vietnam. Family life brought her no respite. Hers was a childhood filled, she

said, by relatives seemingly plucked from the Addams family (on her mother’s side) and the Beverly Hillbillies (on her father’s). “We had all the dysfunctional, dark drama of reality TV on a regular basis, minus the big bucks,” she said. “The drama came complete with death, drugs, alcohol, murder, suicide, abuse and always, always the crisis de jour.” It made her more introspective, more attuned to observation and detail, plunging her into ravenous and indiscriminate reading — magazines from Tigerbeat to National Geographic, encyclopedias, novels, romances, science fiction. She loved Pride and Prejudice and Fahrenheit 451, and, of course, helped herself to a healthy heaping of Hemingway. And then came the seminal moment she pulled The Outsiders SEE AUTHOR, B16

Local resident and former MLB star Aubrey Huff opens up in new book

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY ROB LEDONNE When local resident and former star player for the San Francisco Giants Aubrey Huff decided to write a book about his life, he had no idea how the experience would soon shape him. “It was a very therapeutic book for me to write,” Huff said about the process. “I was reliving some of my anxieties and depression, and as I wrote I found out a lot about me that I had never known before.” Plus, he joked: “It was way cheaper than a shrink.” The result of those therapeutic efforts is “Baseball Junkie,” a book that encapsulates Huff’s life, in raw and honest terms, throughout its rollercoaster of 268 pages. Huff, who talks about the murder of his father early in his life, to his recent new-found Christian faith, put his ups and downs on full display with the help of co-author Stephen Cassar, whom Huff says turned into a “lifelong friend.” “I think the biggest thing I want people to take away is

Aubrey Huff and the cover of his book, “Baseball Junkie.” that no matter how much you succeed, no matter how much money or material things you acquire, it will never bring you happiness,” says Huff. “‘Baseball Junkie’ is exactly what it sounds like: a Major League baseball player’s battle with drug addiction while playing. It’s also a story of my crippling anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts. At the very heart of this book, though, is my redemptive faith in Jesus Christ, and his mercy to help in the darkest

of times.” Huff has been no stranger to dark times throughout his life, however charmed. In his long career in the Major Leagues, he’s played for a variety of teams, from the Tampa Bay Rays, Baltimore Orioles, Detroit Tigers, to the Houston Astros. However, his association with the Giants is how fans know him best, helping the team score World Series rings in both 2010 and 2012, marking their first victories SEE AUBREY HUFF, B16

Also included at the end of the book is a list of the 25 most valuable lessons MacDonald learned in his long and successful career in corporate turn-arounds.

While candidly disclosing hilarious and touching stories from their home lives, the tweens spell their way through a series of (potentially made-up) words, hoping never to hear the soul-crushing, pout-inducing, life un-affirming “ding” of the bell that signals a spelling mistake.

Need a Financial Plan? Scott Ashline at La Jolla’s Northwestern Mutual can help BY DAVID L. CODDON There’s no one-size-fits-all formula for successful financial planning. Everyone has different needs and dreams for the future. That doesn’t deter Scott Ashline and his team at Northwestern Mutual. In fact, he relishes the challenge. “What I really enjoy is discovering what are clients’ objectives and trying to figure out ways we can help them,” said Ashline, for 25 years a wealth management adviser at Northwestern Mutual. “It’s like solving a puzzle.” Ashline’s team is composed of practitioners in comprehensive financial planning, estate planning, business planning, retirement income planning, investment strategies and risk management. “Each person has a different specialty,” he explained. “We really do your overall financial planning. For some people it’s ‘How much do I need for my kids’ education?’ For others it’s retirement strategies, and for others it’s life insurance or setting up retirement plans.” In other words, and Ashline emphasizes this, “We’re not just investment managers.”

Northwestern Mutual is a longstanding company, founded way back in 1857 in Wisconsin. Its three San Diego County offices include the Golden Triangle area, downtown San Diego and Carlsbad. Ashline, originally from Colorado, is a graduate of Boston College and says with pride that financial planning is the only type of work he’s done from the start. “Interaction with clients” is what he said he likes most about it. No wonder that in 2016, Scott and his team were number one in the Western U.S. (out of over 1,000 advisors) for the third consecutive year for the financial security award. This recognizes planners for their overall success in comprehensive planning. That’s a distinction perhaps earned by understanding the ups and downs of the financial world, by being visionary and by reassuring his clients. “The challenge is keeping them focused on their long-term goals,” Ashline said. “A lot of times the latest news tends to infuse fear in people into doing nothing. I see that a lot in some of the estate planning markets in terms of what’s going to happen with estate

taxes.” He urges clients who may be anxious to be proactive, to keep moving forward, and to trust his team: “Do what you do best,” he advises, “and let us help you figure out your longer-term goals.” Ultimately, Ashline said, the goals are the same for all of his clients, regardless of their financial portfolio. “At the end of the day, everyone has the same kind of objectives. It comes down to math. I always say my job is to get people to save and invest money before they spend it. “No one is hard-wired to save money. We’re about getting people to save first and then spend. Getting people disciplined.” There may be no ideal client, but Ashline knows what a good one is: “Somebody who really wants to do great things for their family and for the community. They’re in it for a bigger purpose than just making a lot of money.” Northwestern Mutual is at 4225 Executive Square, Suite 1250, in La Jolla.

NORTH COAST - MARCH 16, 2017 - PAGE B9

Solana Beach woman brings Hollywood skills to North County kids BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A Solana Beach native is passing her skills learned in various Hollywood jobs to local children. Jolene Bogard, who has worked for 30 years in television as a development executive, director and assistant to an unnamed A-list actor, has been teaching acting classes at the Youth Arts Academy - Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito Carmel Valley, Polster Branch since October 2015. “I think it’s great to foster kids through the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito’s programs because they do awesome scholarships, and I think it’s just wonderful,” she said. As a child, Bogard, the daughter of former Solana Beach Mayor Marion Dodson, always enjoyed live entertainment. “My parents always took me to the theater as a kid, and I always dreamed of being an actress,” Bogard said. “I never believed in myself and never had the self-esteem for it.” Still, being a part of the silver screen was something she continued to long for. She eventually went to college to study television and cinema, then moved to Los Angeles to work in various production roles before meeting her husband and moving to Huntington Beach about a decade ago. There, she found herself with more time on her hands. Bogard decided to volunteer at the Boys & Girls Club of Huntington Valley, where her stepdaughter was involved in plays. “They needed volunteers, and I told them I had a background,” she said. “They ended up firing the director and asking me to stay on until

It was like my job was kind of rooting for me.” She then continued to help put on more shows in roles like stage managing and directing, and learned to love working with children. When she and her family moved back to her hometown of Solana Beach in 2014, she pitched a similar program as the Huntington Valley one to Youth Arts Academy, which she learned did not have a theater program. The classes were approved, and she started off in October 2015 with four students. Now, Bogard, who puts on classes several times a week, has about 40 students and puts on multiple productions every year. She also offers acting

Her acting classes take place Wednesdays for 5to 10-year-olds from 3:30 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. and for pre-teens from 4:30 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. She also teaches improv classes on Mondays from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. In a production of Into the Woods, she said she was successful in “pushing kids out of their comfort zones.”

But, she said, she will take any child actor in any ability level. “They might not have a lead role, but I try to build off their abilities,” she said, adding she is currently working on a production of The King and I. “I have a little boy named Ryan who’s 8, and he comes to every class and every rehearsal. The other day I gave him a pretty big role. I made him the prince. He was shocked, but I told him I thought he could handle it. He showed me he really wants more, so I decided to challenge him a little bit.” For more information about Bogard’s classes, visit heyjojoproductions.com and youthartssd.org.

Greet the great Guinness on St. Patrick’s Day

n March 17, some 13 million pints of Guinness — the Emerald Isle’s beloved brew — will be guzzled around the globe as hibernophiles pay tribute to their patron saint and apostle — Patrick. You don’t have to go to Dublin, Ireland, the site of the Guinness Brewery that created the dry stout some 250 years ago to celebrate the virtues of this iconic liquid treasure. Here’s a primer to help you get the most out of Guinness, whether in savory dishes, sweet treats or soothing sips. Sláinte! A Crafty Fellow: In the mid 1700s, intrepid brewer, Arthur Guinness experimented with fermentation using roasted unmalted barley, pale malt and an extra dose of nitrogen and carbon dioxide creating a ruby red hue with delicate bubbles, a tangy, toasty flavor and a thick creamy head. The dark brew, soon the drink of choice of London train station porters, earned Guinness the moniker “porter” stout, the latter referring to its full-bodied richness. Becoming such a popular drink, Arthur Guinness decided to exclusively brew the stout, and discontinue production of other beers. Today there are 19 versions of the stout, and the Guinness Book of World Records created by the company’s managing director in the 1950s to provide answers to trivia questions and debates that originated in bars where Guinness was served. For All that “Ales” You: The ad slogan

of the 1920s — “Guinness is good for you!” — still holds water today. Cheers to beers, especially dark ones like Guinness that dial up the immune system with a rich source of antioxidant flavonoids. Also loaded with silicon, the stout boosts bone health by revving up skeletal cell production that increases density, while its store of iron pumps up red blood cell count. In addition, beer’s ample supply of folate and B6’s has been linked to reducing heart disease risk by lowering harmful homocysteine levels in the blood, while raising “good” cholesterol, which prevents clotting. There’s more. Thanks to the high water content in beer, along with the hops (female flowers from the hop plant that imparts a bitter tang) brews not only flush kidney stones through the plumbing, but also decrease calcium released from the bones, warding off pesky stones. Finally, beer has a mellowing effect for relaxing days and tranquil nights. Guinness Goes Gustatory: Prepare a hearty Irish breakfast with Guinness griddlecakes or waffles, egg and stout scrambles or omelets with plenty of green vegetables like asparagus, arugula, peppers and broccoli, and chicken sausages braised in the brew. — Catharine Kaufman can be reached at kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

FROM AUTHOR, B1 off a shelf and finally found herself certain of the kind of writer she wanted to be. “It wasn’t a classic, it had never been assigned in the classroom, it wasn’t even well-known. But it’s a book that changed my world profoundly,” she said. “It was a book that was populated by people I recognized — teenagers — and it didn’t shy away from the uglier and real side of life. … It sounded like my world, and it was a book written for me—not my parents, not my grandparents. I read it multiple times, and I cried every time I read it.” As she headed off to college, she found herself swept up in the power of writing to reveal the truth. And yet, she couldn’t muster the courage to reveal her own personal truth. Her working-class parents —neither of whom graduated high school — would never understand their youngest child wanting to pursue something so impractical. “I was afraid it would be like saying I wanted to be a ballerina astronaut,” she said. “It sounded so unrealistic. College was for jobs with pensions and benefits.” The life that eventually took shape was one of a dream deferred: married at 18 to an accountant with no literary inclinations and having settled into a job teaching elementary school, her passion for writing smothered beneath a mass of denial and delay. One decade turned into the next, her fears always outweighing her yearning to write, until a relative’s offhand remark one day finally sent her desires into irresistible boil. Her excuses fell away when faced with

the prospect of another 20 years of regret. “Real writers write,” she said. “They don’t wait for all the planets to align just perfectly … They snatch the moments they can and they create others. They make it happen, and they don’t let fear hold them back. They don’t think about writing someday; they do it, now.” She hunkered down for an entire year to compose her first manuscript, only her husband and children knowing what she had taken on. She kept her parents in the dark, still afraid of their reaction. Finally, ebulliently, she put that piece of herself out into the world. “Well, the world didn’t love it,” she recalled. “I cried. I panicked. I was absolutely terrified. What had I done? But the one thing I didn’t do was give up, not this time.” Undaunted, she learned to find the value of editors who had strewn notes of encouragement between the lines of their rejection letters. She set to work on the craft of writing, schooling herself on point of view, dialogue, subtext, conflict, foreshadowing. She revised her manuscript and submitted it again. When her book still didn’t sell, she embarked on another, honed through invaluable critiques at her very first writers’ conference. She listened, went home, revised—ad nauseam. Five months later, a publisher tendered her first offer. “I remember being numb, hanging up the phone after the call, and then crying and screaming and dancing in circles in the kitchen with my daughters,” she said. “It was and it will always be one of my

sweetest memories.” Pearson went on to a heralded career as one of the nation’s preeminent youth authors, piling up awards and appearances on best-selling lists. Ten of her novels have now been published, in 20 different languages. The Remnant Chronicles is beloved. The Adoration of Jenna Fox has been optioned for a movie. She recently sold her next two novels on proposal. ”Oh, and my parents know I’m a writer now,” she quipped. But no matter the successes, she said, failure has and will always loom near on the horizon, a specter under which all writers by necessity struggle. “Each of you has your own journey. It won’t be like mine, or the person sitting next to you … You have stories to tell that no one else can — as long as you show up,” she said. “So now I challenge you: go forth, hone your craft, learn, grow, become a warrior of truth, learn to dig deep. Slay us with your honesty. Be wicked, be ruthless, cut to the core. Make your truths cold and hard and hot and sticky and loud, so they are impossible to ignore or deny, so they will make us breathless, make us weep, make us angry, make us fall onto our knees with gratitude that we are not alone. Whether you are writing a dark drama, a sweeping fantasy, a poem or a knee-slapping comedy, remind us with every word what it means to be human and what we share. The world needs your voice. Your stories matter. I was girl and had a calling. So do you. I’m waiting to hear your stories. Be fearless.”

FROM AUBREY HUFF, B3 in over a half century. Huff also became known for lighthearted hijinks around the clubhouse, most famously with his red, jewel-encrusted “lucky” thong he started wearing leading up to the Giants’ 2010 victory, later dubbed by the fans and media a “rally thong.” Despite all of his accomplishments and accolades, plus his marriage and two sons, Huff still wasn’t fulfilled. “Even after all that I wanted to end my life,” he notes. “I am living proof that material wealth and things of this world will never make you happy. There has to be something greater for you to live for. For me it is my new-found faith in Christ, and my family.” Funded through a successful Kickstarter campaign, “Baseball Junkie” marks the latest phase of Huff’s life. It’s a happy one at that finds him still living in Del Mar. “We moved here immediately after I retired in 2012,” Huff said. “It was a move that made little sense. We had no extended family here and I’m a Texas boy at heart, but I have really grown to love Del Mar very much. My wife and I have absolutely fallen in love with our church where we’ve grown in our faith and our marriage. And as an added bonus, I get to coach both my boys’ little league teams.” Adds Huff: “Life has never been better for me than it is right now.” “Baseball Junkie” can be found on Amazon.com.

Mom Today, Professional Tomorrow: Getting Back into the Workforce After having kids, many moms will take only a brief maternity leave before heading back to work. But for many moms, having kids means an extended or even permanent break from work. For some, their wages don’t actually offset the cost of childcare when they’re at work. Others may want to take on a more prominent role at home until their kids go to school. And still others see it as a job shift, from career woman to stay-at-home mom. While each mom’s choice to work is one she must make with her family, it’s important to know what may lie ahead if

she does decide to go back to work. For one thing, depending on how long the mom is away from the workforce, technology may have substantially changed in the years she has stayed at home. There is also a big difference if the mom has been off for two-to-three years or eighteen. The same is true for availability. So much of the workforce is becoming automated, and the jobs that will appear in the next decade may not have been invented yet. Couple that with the competition from workers just out of college, who may have up-to-date training or are willing to work for less money, and opting back into the workforce after a break can become extremely difﬁcult. So if you’re a mom who wants to go back to work after a break, what can you do to prepare to get back into the workforce? First, check your ego. Even if you held a high-ranking title before, many corporations will want their potential employees to have very current knowledge of the ﬁeld, which an extended break can hamper. Whatever you once did will matter little. It’s almost impossible to just pick up where you left off. Also, if you were earning a high salary, you

may not be able to get anywhere near close to what you used to make. This is because there are fewer jobs since the recession, and there is greater competition. And there will be a gap in your resume (the truth is that companies generally don’t count volunteering at schools or PTA service as resume enrichers). Returning to the workforce after a break can mean you have to accept a lower salary. Also important to consider: returning to the workforce after a break to have kids also means you may have to move back down in the hierarchy before you can move back up. In the meantime, while you’re getting your resume in shape, or if you’re still in the contemplation phase of getting back into the workforce, start with some serious networking. This is especially helpful if you have an eye toward the long-game and you can build up your network over a bigger stretch of time. This doesn’t mean just selling yourself and your skills; really work on learning from other people in the ﬁeld. If you have an area of expertise and can give occasional freebie advice, someone in your network may keep you in mind if a position comes up that seems right for you.

While you’re networking, spend time boosting any skills you may be lacking, or learn the new technology favored in your field. Getting any kind of recommended certification is a great addition to your resume, and it will show employers that you are committed and that it won’t be left up to the employer to get you back up to speed. Struggling to find that job after a couple of months? Consider volunteering, at a place such as a non-profit, in which you can both network and show off your skills in a professional environment. It may even open you up to a field you hadn’t been aware of previously. As far as new fields go, take chances on positions outside your comfort zone. You may want to apply for (or volunteer for) and company that’s looking for “adjacent” skills to the ones you used in your former career.

California Happy Homes gives back to San Diego California Happy Homes, a real estate and remodeling company based in Napa, is opening a San Diego branch and wants to give back to San Diego. Not only do they do great work with 5-star reviews on Yelp, but they also make a donation in your name to any school, church or charity, or you may choose to have the donation go to a neighbor in need of buying-selling or remodeling. Recently they have helped La Mesa schools get text books and art supplies and have made 2 donations to the Susan G. Komen foundation. Whether you hire them to sell your home for only 2%, help you buy a home, or hire them to help with any remodeling, they are unique in that you do not pay until you are 100% a happy home and then they make the donation on your behalf. California Happy Homes provides hold-your-hand personal service, does good clean work, delivers a great experience and they help pay it forward to the local communities through their charitable donation. Joe Tropiano the owner, is a San Diego native and has witnessed the power of pay it forward in the Bay Area and knows the feeling of truly helping both homeowners and the local community is powerful and fantastic. Joe comments “It is a feel good feeling that is spreading and folks are loving the business model.” He

has committed the same model to San Diego. Joe started his business wanting to create a one-stop shop model as the worlds of real estate and remodeling are synergistic but can be overwhelming, but a client can have less stress and more options with one point of contact for everything involved. Joe wanted to change the stigma attached to contractors by giving a white collar polish to a blue collar world. With his genuine care for all customers, strict business procedures and 100% customer service, the model is working and he is changing the industry for the better one California happy home at a time. Visit www.californiahappyhomes.com or call 619-633-8955. If you are going to buy-sell or remodel why not use a company that pledges to give back and guarantees their services to make you a California Happy Home! “Pay it Forward” meaning via Wikipedia: An expression for describing the beneficiary of a good deed repaying it to others instead of the original benefactor. “Seeing a small business like California Happy Homes give back however it can is an example of good ethics and a model all businesses should use. Imagine what good we can all do if we work together and pay it forward.” - Mayor’s Office (San Francisco)

“

My wife bought me my dream F150 Lariat FX4 last Wednesday and the experience was great! The entire sales team was fantastic to work with—they were helpful and not pushy. Not only are their locations convenient, but they have the mentality I appreciate for vehicle shopping - low pressure, professional, and knowledgeable on the product. I will refer all of my friends to Mossy.
