Restoration, trail proposed for lagoon BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority (JPA) has released its draft environmental impact report for a proposed San Dieguito Lagoon Restoration and new trail connection. The draft environmental impact report (EIR) will be available for a 45-day public review comment period

through April 24 and a public meeting on the project will be held on Tuesday, April 4 at 6 p.m. at the Del Mar Fairgrounds board room. The proposed project is about 141 acres, located east of Interstate-5, south of Via de la Valle and west/northwest of El Camino Real. The proposed project would supplement recent restoration efforts

The Torrey Pines High School dance team won the national championship at the West Coast Elite National Competition in Long Beach on March 18. At the grand finale gala event, two Torrey Pines dances competed for the title. The Small Hip Hop crew won first place in the gold category, earning the fourth highest overall score for the entire competition. The dance also won Best Showmanship Award. The Small Hip Hop team includes dancers Brianna Haire, Alexis Edwards, Taylor Griffith, Sarah Ludington, Brooke Houshar, Kaitlyn Leary, Cassie Gonzalez, Krystal Lockhart and Ellie Pascua. In the Large Hip Hop gold category, the varsity team placed sixth in one of the most

competitive and difficult categories at nationals. “This dance was outstanding and everyone worked really hard to make this piece a contender. We were up against incredible talent and our performance was very exciting,” said Kristina Lockhart, dance team parent liaison. The Torrey Pines’ Medium Hip Hop team was also invited to dance at the gala and won second place, meaning two dances placed top six in a huge category. In the competition, Torrey Pines dance placed sixth with a dramatic and emotional piece in the Medium Contemporary gold category and also took third in the Small Contemporary silver category.

BY JOE TASH A long-planned skatepark in La Colonia Park moved a step closer to reality as the Solana Beach City Council approved spending $91,000 on final design work for the project. The decision was made on a 5-0 vote at the council meeting on Wednesday, March 22. The two outside firms hired to design the skatepark - Van Dyke Landscape Architects and Site Design Group - will be updating and finalizing a park master plan first created in 2010. In the coming weeks, the consultants will hold two public workshops to gather public comment on the skatepark plans, meetings that will likely be held at La Colonia Park. “It’s an evolving sport, we want to make sure the skatepark is state of the art and meets the current needs of our community,” City Manager Greg Wade told the council. The money for the design work will come from an allocation of $300,000 that the council earmarked for the skatepark project in December. The design contract does not cover any construction costs for the skatepark. A city staff report said the actual cost of building the skatepark will be determined once the design is complete and put out to bid to construction companies. Supplementing the city’s contribution to the skatepark project is fundraising by local community groups. Linda Swindell, who sits on the city’s Parks and Recreation Commission, also is a member of a committee formed to raise money for the skatepark. She said the group has raised about $10,000 so far, including SEE SKATERS, A16

Carmel Valley student crowned countywide spelling champion Yash Hande to represent San Diego County at National Spelling Bee in May Pacific Trails Middle School student Yash Hande correctly spelled “sphacelated” to win the 48th annual San Diego Union-Tribune Countywide Spelling Bee. “Sphacelated,” which means affected by, characterized by, or likened to gangrene continues

the theme of winning words that would make any middle schooler cringe. “Phlegm” was the winning 2016 word. Eighth-grader Hande will now go on to represent San Diego County at the Scripps National Spelling Bee in National Harbor, Md., in May.

There was the buzz of excitement in the air as only three spellers remained in round five at about 12:45 p.m., nearly fours hours into the competition and after 93 other students “spelled out.” In addition to Hande, the spellers were Andrew SEE BEE, A19

Transgender woman alleges Del Mar City Hall hopes to go solar discrimination by some Belly Up staff members BY JOE TASH A transgender woman says she was shocked and embarrassed last week when she came out of the women’s restroom during a concert at the Belly Up Tavern, and a venue employee admonished her that she had to use the bathroom corresponding with the gender on her driver’s license. “It was like public shaming for me,” said Nataliya Holmes, 46, of Imperial Beach, who was at the music venue in Solana Beach to see a performance of the group Vaud and the Villains, on Thursday, March 23. “When that occurs in society it affects all of us. None of us want to live

in a society where people are treated discriminatorily.” Holmes said she then asked to speak to the manager, whom she identified as Jeff Keeping, who affirmed what the staff member had told her. Kevin Kish, director of the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing (DFEH), which enforces state anti-discrimination laws, said that if the exchange happened in the way Holmes described, “it’s a very clear, straightforward violation of state law. There’s really no ambiguity at all.” SEE TRANSGENDER, A10

Signage rebranding planned in Torrey Hills BY KAREN BILLING The Irvine Company is in the process of rebranding its signage for the Torrey Hills Apartment Homes and will work with the Torrey Hills Community Planning Board on a solution that works for all. According to Ruben Andrews of Graphic Solutions, Irvine decided to suspend processing of its previous sign proposal after hearing the planning board had concerns about the size of the signs in a residential area. The new sign program proposed on March 21 has been significantly reduced in size and a subcommittee was formed for board members

to work with the company on the design. The signs are larger than what is permitted in the city’s municipal code, however, Andrews said the allowances for signage is very restrictive in the zone — it only permits signs no greater than 6 square feet and a maximum of 4 feet high. There are two signs on the property currently that were installed 20 years ago when the project was first built — these signs are also larger than what is allowed in the zone but are considered “legal non-conforming” as they were placed before the code.

BY SEBASTIAN MONTES As construction of Del Mar’s sprawling new civic center on Camino Del Mar bulldozes ahead throughout the rest of this year, the roof of the future city hall will bear perhaps the project’s crowning achievement: an array of solar panels connected to an innovative battery storage system that will together make the civic center one of the most energy-efficient endeavors anywhere in the region. The two-part Tesla photovoltaic network will consist of 174 photovoltaic panels arrayed on the southwest-facing roof, linked up to a battery “Powerwall” in the garage comprised essentially of an upgraded version of Tesla’s electric car battery stacked to the size of an upright freezer. During most of each day, those panels will power city hall and then some, with the surplus funneling into the battery system, said Donald Mosier, former city councilman and the city’s facilitator for its Climate Action Plan. Roughly half of the battery’s 100-kilowatt capacity will go toward cutting city hall’s energy consumption in the late afternoon, Mosier said, when the sun dips and energy prices start their daily climb. The other half should be enough to power evening activities for five hours. “That system, when the sun is shining, will supply 90 percent of the energy requirements,” Mosier said. “I would have loved to have gotten to net zero, but we didn’t have enough room for PV panels on the roof, and we didn’t want to put them out where they were visible to the public. Ninety percent is pretty good; it’s not 100 percent but it’s

close.” Had Del Mar waited a few years, solar would have cost less and the return on investment would have come sooner, Mosier said, but the city was determined to spark a broader transition to cleaner, greener energy. “This will be one of the most energy-efficient buildings in San Diego County. We’re going to invite property owners with adequate roof space to come and see this system. We hope to incentivize more investment in similar systems,” Mosier said. “Until we have a few cities out there doing the demonstration projects, you’ve got to incentivize the battery manufacturers and the customers to start using these things.” The solar endeavor—and the civic center overall—marks the first major step toward implementing the landmark vision laid out in the Climate Action Plan city leaders enacted last year, which calls for Del Mar to run exclusively on renewable energy by 2035. All told, the solar component is expected to cost nearly $493,000. The city is awaiting word on a $393,000 grant from the California Energy Commission, with the remainder to be covered by an in-kind match. The California Energy Commission is making $10.2 million available this summer through its one-time Local Government Challenge, of which $3 million has been designated for cities with populations under 150,000. The Commission was scheduled to announce the winning projects on April 11, but after extending the deadline to allow for more applications, results are not expected until May or June. SEE SOLAR, A18

Blue means very high and green means high in California’s new school dashboard reports.

Decoding California’s new school dashboard reports BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) got its first look of how it stacks up on the California School Dashboard Report, the state’s new color-coded way to display the performance of schools and diverse student populations. With the new dashboard, a school’s performance is represented by colors blue, green, yellow, orange and red — blue being the strongest representing very high status

level; red indicating very low. The dashboard measures the district’s performance for all schools in the district and in student groups of race/ethnicity, socioeconomically disadvantaged, English learners and students with disabilities in the state’s indicators of student test scores, English learner progress, chronic absenteeism, suspension rates and parent engagement.

Del Mar Union School District hires architects for facilities plan

BY KAREN BILLING On March 22, the Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) board approved a contract with OBR Architecture to update its Facilities Master Plan. The current facilities master plan was developed in 2014 and has helped guide an estimated $6 million in work districtwide. The revised document will reflect the district’s educational programs and goals, capacity and facility needs with a cost analysis. The architects will work with district stakeholders on developing the plan. As reported last year, the district has “significant” facilities needs, particularly at its oldest schools, Del Mar Heights and Del Mar Hills, which are 58 years old and 42 years old

respectively. Other needed renovations across the district include replacing aging portable buildings with permanent classrooms, classroom remodels and upgrades to infrastructure like technology and plumbing. Concurrently, the district is working on its District Design through 2022 process, looking on making radical changes in the school experience overall. “We see it truly as a call to action,” said DMUSD Superintendent Holly McClurg. “It really is a moral imperative. We owe it to our kids to look at what we’re providing them in school and to do it better because they need something different.” SEE ARCHITECTS, A18

KAABOO 2017 lineup revealed Tom Petty, Muse, Jane’s Addiction, Pink, Alanis Morissette and more BY GEORGE VARGA KAABOO Del Mar did not lack for star power in 2015 and 2016, when the ambitious new festival’s expansive lineup featured No Doubt, The Chainsmokers The Killers, Cheech & Chong, Aerosmith and Jimmy Buffett. Even so, KAABOO is hoping to up the ante when the upscale music, comedy and gourmet food-and-drink extravaganza returns this fall. The all-ages festival’s third edition at the Del Mar Racetrack and adjacent fairgrounds will be held Sept. 15-17. The list of this year’s confirmed performers includes Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Pink, Muse, Weezer, Jane’s Addiction, David Guetta, Kesha, Ice Cube, Jason Derulo and Alanis Morissette. (For the full lineup and ticket information, visit kaaboodelmar.com; the comedy lineup will be announced this summer.) Jane’s Addiction currently has no other 2017 performances scheduled anywhere, while EDM-pop crossover star David Guetta has yet to disclose any other U.S. festival dates for this year. Pink and Kesha’s KAABOO slots are only the second U.S. dates announced so far for either singer in 2017. Also confirmed to appear are Garbage, Logic, T-Pain, Michael McDonald, Andy Grammer, The Wallflowers, Pete Yorn and DJ Diesel (as basketball legend Shaquille O’Neal is known when he’s spinning music). Red Hot Chili Peppers and Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers are both Rock and Roll

Hall of Fame inductees. So are fellow KAABOO 2017 performers Jackson Browne, Dave Mason and Eric Burdon & The Animals. Performances will take place on four outdoor and two indoor stages, one of which will be devoted exclusively to the festival’s comedy acts. “I think we’ve made it even more well-rounded and star-studded than the two prior lineups,” said KAABOO mastermind Bryan E. Gordon. “There are some acts in there this year that are complete legends and some that are extraordinary, up-and-coming talents. So there’s a lot of variety that should appeal to people, no matter whether you’re 20, 70 or anywhere in between.” Broad appeal has been a goal of KAABOO

since its 2015 debut. The festival is the brainchild of Gordon, the Denver-based chairman of The Madison Companies LLC, the multibillion-dollar private investment firm he co-founded in 1996. This year will see KAABOO partnering with Virgin Produced. It is the entertainment production division of Virgin, the international conglomerate whose holdings range from Virgin Airlines and Virgin Hotels to Virgin Wine and Virgin Radio International. “Virgin will be related with KAABOO in an artist relations and content-production capacity,” said KAABOO’s newly appointed Chief Marketing Officer Jason Felts, who is

the CEO of Virgin Produced in Los Angeles. “We’ll be documenting the entire KAABOO experience for people who may not be able to attend. KAABOO encompasses music, (visual) art, comedy and a culinary program. We’ll ensure that we’re documenting all that from a content perspective, so it will be an immersive experience. I went to KAABOO in 2015 with my parents, who live in Del Mar, and it was incredible.” Felts was on board at the festival last year, but in a less prominent capacity. Felts also said he expects big things from the partnership between Gordon and Virgin Produced, which specializes in movie, television and new media production. SEE KAABOO, A17

Yellow Ribbon Week at TPHS shines light on mental wellness BY KAREN BILLING Torrey Pines High School hosted another powerful Yellow Ribbon Week March 13-17, promoting mental health awareness and suicide prevention. Teacher Katie Bayliss said she is proud to work in a school that has something like Yellow Ribbon Week, as suicide affected her personally when she lost her 13-year-old brother Ross to suicide when she was a senior in high school. “He was the top student in his class and had many friends. These outside things are not a guarantee against suicide. My experience is evidence that suicide can reach anyone at any age and it is something that should be talked about openly. We need to share the resources and information that can help improve and save lives,” Bayliss said. The week, coordinated by Peer Assisted Listeners adviser Don Collins, was a way to educate students about the importance of taking care of their mental health. Collins said research suggests one out of five teens suffer from a mental issue each year and it takes an average of eight to 10 years for the person to seek treatment. “That’s a decade of unnecessary suffering with the problems probably getting worse, not better,” Collins said. During the week there were two all-campus assemblies on “Ending the Silence” provided through the National Alliance on Mental Health (NAMI) San Diego. Lana Lo, NAMI San Diego programs coordinator, said she was impressed that

“We all have a lot of stuff going on, and sometimes life can feel like a lot of pressure, so this week’s a good reminder you don’t know what other people are going through.” The students also heard from 20-year-old Torrey Pines alum Jake Heilbrunn on the struggles with anxiety he faced in college,

taking a leave of absence from school to focus his energy on travel, introspection and writing. Responding to a senior who was unsure about what step to take after graduation, Heilbrunn said, “It’s OK to not have the answers yet. Continue your journey and trust your process. Our anxiety comes from listening more to our fears and doubts than to our faith and courage. Your inner voice knows the right choice.” “Listening to Jake broadened my idea concept about what is quote unquote successful” said junior Jared Doan. “He showed a lot of courage in exploring and finding the value in the unknown and I got inspired to consider other futures for myself.” Torrey Pines Peer Assisted Listeners (PALs) created one-minute PSA videos on suicide prevention and mental health awareness for the state-wide Directing Change competition. The videos were shared with teachers to show in class throughout the week and were also screened at the all-campus assemblies. The campus was decorated with 300 yards of yellow ribbon and 800 yellow informational posters with resources, quotes and statistics. A student-created Snapchat geofilter and decorated selfie stations allowed students to take photos highlighting the message of “When texting emojis fail, words can prevail — Let’s talk about it!” “I am not naïve.

Blindness can't slow 83-year-old cyclist BY PAM KRAGEN Nine years ago at the age of 74, Dorothy Deans of Solana Beach lost most of her sight to a pair of strokes. But instead of feeling limited by her disability, the retired nurse said it opened her up to a whole new world. She excitedly learned new technologies for the blind, she attended blind camps where she jumped out of planes and swung through trees, and she greatly expanded her circle of friends. Now — at 83 — she’s the oldest member of the Blind Stokers Club, a tandem bicycling group that pairs sighted “captains” on the front seat with blind and visually impaired “stokers” on the back. “Ever since I lost my sight, it’s been such great fun,” she said. “I kept saying to myself ‘tomorrow I’m going to wake up crying,’ but I never did.” Four to five days a week, Deans swims a mile at a local community pool. She also pedals 20 to 60 miles a week on a tandem bike with one of the three sighted captains she’s been paired with in the Blind Stokers Club. One of those captains is fellow Solana Beach resident Paul Dickstein, 60, an avid cyclist and private SAT/ACT exam coach. Over the years, Dickstein figures he’s biked at least 175,000 miles. He joined the Blind Stokers in 2014 because he thought it would

be a fun new way to enjoy cycling and he wanted to improve the accessibility of his favorite sport for others. “I love the club camaraderie and there’s always something to talk about. I intend to keep doing it for many years to come,” said Dickstein, whose mother once worked as a braille transcriber. “Even outside of riding, my wife and I have become great friends with (Dorothy). We have a lot in common.” Deans says she was uniquely prepared for not just living — but thriving — with a disability. Her mother became profoundly deaf as an adult, but it never slowed her down. “She had a rich, wonderful life,” Deans said. “Her example was helpful for me.” Deans’ ancestors immigrated to Minnesota from Sweden. A self-described “tomboy,” she grew up in St. Paul with her family’s passion for exercise and the outdoors. She also inherited their longevity genes. Her great-grandfather is said to have fathered one of his children at the ripe old age of 89. After earning a nursing degree in 1956, Deans moved to San Francisco, where she eventually met and married an engineer from Coronado. He moved her to San Diego where they raised five children. They divorced when she was 40. The only exercise she got in her

The daily 10-mile trek from Solana Beach included a steep uphill climb near Torrey Pines State Beach, which she found exhilarating. Then when she retired five years later, she celebrated her 60th birthday with swimming lessons to overcome a lifelong fear of water.

Because of a rare optic disc condition and a high risk of stroke due to low blood pressure, Deans said she wasn’t shocked when she woke up one morning in 2008 with no vision in her left eye. But she was surprised six weeks later when a second stroke took out 95 percent of the vision in her right eye. She said her sudden loss of sight didn’t depress her. It invigorated her to once again shake things up in her life. “I found that losing my sight was like when you travel alone in Europe or Japan.

Adult students captivated by top professors BY LOIS ALTER MARK “You’re now going to experience all the good things about school without the horrible things that used to make me cry, like tests and homework and being called on,” said Katrina Orsini in her welcome to 300 adult students at One Day University Saturday, March 18. Rather than sitting at cramped desks, students were gathered in the comfortable seats of the David & Dorothea Garfield Theatre in La Jolla, eager to hear from four of the top professors in the country for no other reason than simply to learn. One Day University offers day-long events in 58 cities, and this was the second year it was being held in San Diego. Many of the students were also back for their second time. The event curriculum consisted of four eclectic lectures: “Four Books Every Book Lover Should Read,” “The Psychology of Good and Evil,” “Does America’s Political System Still Work?” and “The New Middle East: The Rise of ISIS in an Explosive Region.” “We take polls to see what courses students are most interested in,” explained Steve Schragis, founder of One Day University. “And we visit schools around the country to identify the professors who are winning all the teaching awards and

According to Lerer, teaching in this context is different from teaching college students, “in large part because my undergraduates today experience literature and language through increasingly digital and virtual means. Both kinds of teaching enhance each other, and I’m glad to be able to do both.” Catherine Sanderson, who taught “The Psychology of Good and Evil” in San Diego and regularly teaches one of One Day University’s most popular courses, “Positive Psychology: The Science of Happiness,” agreed. “I love teaching at One Day U, precisely because the students are not my typical 18-22 year olds,” she laughed. “The One Day U students attend these talks because they want to learn – they are not required to be there! They are smart, engaged, and intellectually curious. Perhaps most importantly, the questions One Day U students ask are uniformly great ones – because they are based on a much broader world view and experience than my typical undergraduates.” Sanderson’s talk was riveting and timely as she explained that evil happens gradually, giving clear examples of how obedience to authority resulted in the mass suicides at Jonestown and SEE PROFESSORS, A10

Del Mar couple quietly lift lives of at-risk youths BY PAM KRAGEN hris and Pat Weil are what she likes to call “under the radar” philanthropists. The Del Mar couple’s names don’t adorn any high-profile buildings around town, but their targeted, low-profile work with at-risk youth has changed hundreds of lives. Over the past 20 years, the Weils have given more than $2 million to local organizations, the bulk it for scholarships to low-income high school seniors who are the first in their families to attend college. But it’s more than money the Weils give. They also donate hundreds of hours each year as mentors, board members and advisers, and they support other local organizations that promote community reinvestment, humanities and the arts. Chris Weil, 79, said he and his wife could easily give their money away to huge national charities, but they prefer donating to smaller, local organizations where they can offer more than a check. “We like to give in ways where we can be part of the full cycle, at the beginning, the middle and the end of things,” he said. “There’s something about being hands - on that’s really gratifying.” Education has played an important role in the Weils’ lives together. They first met when they were classmates at North Hollywood Junior High. But Chris had a love-hate relationship with education as a teenager. In an act of rebellion against his parents during his junior year, he failed all but one of his

He did well, finishing his service four years later as a first class petty officer. Then in June 1958 he enrolled at UCLA, where one of the first people he encountered was Pat, who was putting herself through school by working in the bookstore. They married

BILL WECHTER

two years later, and eventually had three children. After college, Pat became a 5th- and 6th-grade teacher and later was a reading program consultant for teachers at inner-city schools in South Central L.A. She said she saw up-close how education could change lives. “Education introduced me to Shakespeare, anthropology and geology,”

said Pat, 80. “We wanted to raise (these children) up and open their lives to possibilities.” Chris started his career in 1963 as a securities trader. Since 1970 he has owned his own investment firms, including the current Christopher Weil & Co. since 1996. That’s the same year the Weils decided to escape the pressures of L.A. and move to Del Mar. Most of their employees and all three of their children happily followed. Today, Matthew Weil, 56, Kit-Victoria Wells, 52, and Caitlin Weil, 47, all work for the company and are actively involved in their parents’ charitable work. One of the first thing Pat did after moving to Del Mar was sign up as a literacy volunteer at Del Mar Heights Elementary School. But the Weils wanted to do more in the philanthropic arena as a way to meet people in their new hometown. They soon met philanthropic consultant Valerie Jacobs. “They’re two of my favorite people in the world,” said Jacobs, secretary for the Jacobs Center for Neighborhood Innovation in Southeast San Diego. “They take everything they do philanthropically very seriously. One of the main things that impresses me about them is they live very modestly but give lots of money away. Their attitude is ‘this is all we need,’ which is wonderful and very rare.” The Weils’ first local charitable effort was joining the UC San Diego’s Chancellor’s SEE YOUTHS, A10

FROM YOUTHS, A9 Associates council. Today they’re underwriters for the university’s Division of Arts & Humanities. “As true philanthropists, Chris and Pat see their financial generosity as only one facet of a larger sense of commitment to the common good,” said Cristina Della Coletta, dean of Arts & Humanities. “We have been fortunate to be the beneficiaries of their wisdom, time, creativity and wit.” One of the humanities programs the Weils have supported is the Women in Philosophy Program, which encourages undergraduate women at UCSD to pursue studies in the male-dominated field. “Humanities have become extras in education and are being downgraded in schools,” said Chris, whose UCLA degree is in philosophy. “We do what little we can to enhance them. In our philanthropy we like to finance the education component of the humanities.” In 2000, UCSD opened The Preuss School, a college preparatory high school for low-income students from underrepresented communities. Pat signed up immediately to mentor a freshman, and when the girl prepared to graduate in 2004, the Weils decided to give her a scholarship. They’d first established a scholarship fund at the San Diego Foundation, where advisers encouraged the Weils to accept multiple applications and sit in on student interviews. They were so touched by the students’ stories, they gave all 18 applicants a scholarships that year. “They are thoughtful and caring philanthropists who dig deep into the mission to provide not just financial support but sage guidance and leadership as well,” said Scott Barton, principal of The Preuss School. Since 2004, the Weils have given more than 250 “MKC” scholarships (an acronym for their

FROM BLIND, A6 stimulating and you have to be alert to catch it all,” she said. Deans was at the San Diego Center for the Blind 2-1/2 years ago when she first heard about the Blind Stokers Club. Founded in 2007, Blind Stokers is the largest and most active tandem club for blind riders in the country, according to the U.S. Blind Tandem Cycling Connection. Blind Stokers has 130 active members and 40 matched cycling teams who gather for 22 ride each year of 25 to 60 miles, as well as social events. Members range in age from 14 to 83. The club was founded in 2007 by Dave White of Rancho Peñasquitos. White isn’t blind and neither is his wife, Nancy, but they’re longtime tandem enthusiasts. He hit upon the idea for the club when he heard about the Cycling for Sight fundraiser and discovered that only sighted cyclists were participating in the annual event. Over the years, White has built a countywide online network of riders, established a safety training program, organized volunteers to coordinate carpools and provide team support and has helped with the purchase and donation of many tandem bikes, which can cost up to $5,000. White said the health benefits of tandem cycling are obvious, but he especially enjoys the friendships that the club has forged, like that between Deans and Dickstein. “The hidden benefit of teamwork

children’s first initials) to Preuss students totaling $1.5 million. Many recipients have come back from college to work for the Weils as interns and employees. Macy Olivas, a 2009 scholarship recipient, manages clients’ philanthropic giving for Christopher Weil & Co. She also directs the Patricia & Christopher Weil Family Foundation, which has become an independent nonprofit. Besides giving to Preuss, the foundation now gives scholarships as well to graduating students at Gompers Preparatory Academy and Borrego High School. Other foundation beneficiaries are San Diego Grantmakers, the Center for Community Solutions, Jacobs Center for Neighborhood Innovation, the National Conflict Resolution Center, San Diego Repertory Theatre, The Old Globe, Words Alive and Mainly Mozart. Nancy Laturno Bojanic, executive director and co-founder of the Mainly Mozart concert organization, said the Weils have been “a driving force for many years” and they’ve long served as board and advisory council members. “I adore them,” Bojanic said. “They’re passionate people that truly care and they’re great fun. They have amazing values and heart and are an incredible inspiration in terms of family.” As president of the Weil Family Fund, Patricia spends about 30 percent of her time on philanthropic and advisory work. Chris gives about 10 percent of his time, because he still spends three days a week working in the office and from their hilltop home overlooking Torrey Pines State Beach. “I would say philanthropy has become my main hobby,” he said. “The reason I don’t have other hobbies is every time I try to slow down, some interesting new cause comes around the bend.” --Pam Kragen is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune relationships is putting two strangers together as a matchmaker,” White said. “Sure we’re doing the obvious — we’re enabling the sport for the person who’s unable to pilot their own bike — but the not so obvious opportunity is for the enabler to share in the teamwork and the friendship that blossoms from that role.” White matches teams together based on their skill, body size, personality, goals and geographic location. A good captain has confidence, leadership qualities and street smarts. A good stoker has strength, focus, trust and team spirit. The best teams bond both on the bike and off. Deans likes to ride as often as she can, so she has multiple captains she can call on. They include Dickstein, her first captain Tony Tani and her 55-year-old son, Jack, who joined the club six months ago. White said there’s always room for more in the Blind Stokers Club. Sighted cyclists can register for the “captain in training” program,” where they’ll be taught techniques on a loaner bike with volunteer stokers. Club members are now training for their big event, the 13th annual Cycling for Sight fundraiser for the San Diego Center for the Blind. The event on July 15-16 will be based at Cal State San Marcos with courses ranging from 50 to 109 miles over two days.

FROM TRANSGENDER, A2 In California, said Kish, the Unruh Civil Rights Act prohibits discrimination in public accommodations, which includes businesses, and the categories of protected characteristics include gender identity and gender expression, as well as race, religion, sex, disability, ancestry, age, marital status or sexual orientation. “Nothing in the law says that a person has to use the bathroom based on their driver’s license, so requiring it is a straightforward violation. You don’t have to look a certain way or dress a certain way. The driver’s license is frankly irrelevant,” Kish said. Keeping, the Belly Up’s general manager, did not grant an interview or answer specific questions regarding Holmes’ account of the incident. However, in response to a reporter’s email inquiry, he wrote, “Anyone who knows the Belly Up Tavern is aware of our commitment to the community. In our Venue we are conscience (sic) of the security, safety and rights of all of our patrons and we act accordingly.” Holmes said she does not know what prompted the staff member to approach her as she left the restroom. She said she looks older than 21, and had not been asked to show her ID when she entered the venue. She believes the Belly Up employees were “profiling me as transgender.” “As a transgender individual in San Diego, I am aware there will be discrimination in different places, but I never would have expected a major music venue would have been discriminatory toward a transgender person,” she said. After the incident, Holmes said she contacted Solana Beach Mayor Mike Nichols, who referred her to City Attorney Johanna N. Canlas, who in turn provided contact information for DFEH. Neither Nichols nor Canlas responded to a request for comment as of press-time. Holmes said she and her wife requested, and received, a refund for their tickets to the concert, and left the venue. Holmes said she plans to file a complaint with DFEH. If Holmes does so, said Kish, the agency will interview her to determine if it has jurisdiction over the alleged violation. If so, the agency would then investigate. If the violation is substantiated, DFEH would attempt to mediate a resolution, which could involve working with the Belly Up to train its employees on requirements of state law, with the goal of ensuring that such incidents do not occur

FROM PROFESSORS, A7 desensitization led to the Holocaust. She pointed out that narcissism – the opposite of empathy – is way up right now and that nothing is more damaging than standing by when evil is happening. “The common feature for all of my talks is that I like to integrate cutting-edge scientific research with real-world anecdotes and examples so that people can directly apply information from empirical research to their own lives,” said Sanderson, who is the James E. Ostendarp Professor at Amherst College and is often cited as the school’s most popular professor. “I always end my talks with specific strategies that people can use and implement in their own lives. My hope is that people will not just find my talks intellectually engaging, but also practical in terms of learning strategies they can use in some way moving forward.” Students had so many questions for her, she had to offer her email address so lunch could be served. Following a box lunch, during which time students discussed what they had

in the future. In the case of a lack of cooperation when a violation is determined, said Kish, DFEH could file a lawsuit seeking compliance. Kish suggested that one way to avoid such issues is for establishments, when possible, to have unisex bathrooms. Unisex restrooms are also convenient for people with children, or those with disabilities, he said. Holmes said she had recently been to a concert at a San Diego venue with unisex restrooms, which “makes it obvious that I’m welcome there and nobody’s going to give me any problem.” As to the issue of safety and security in restrooms, Kish said that if a person is harassing others, action can be taken whether the person is transgender or not, and it would not be a civil rights violation. “The reality is the people who are not safe in bathrooms are transgender people,” Kish said, because they can be subject to harassment. Holmes said she wants the Belly Up to admit its mistake. “I want them to take public responsibility for their actions and to change their policy. I want them to be a welcoming environment,” she said. “The point is to make people understand, we’re just people like anybody else. I live my life no differently than anyone else, why should I be singled out?” The band Vaud and the Villains issued the following statement about the alleged incident: “As a show, we are proud of our tremendously broad and diverse fanbase. Our message of acceptance is evident in our performances. Maybe that is why Nataliya brought this situation to us, and we are glad she did. We would not hesitate to abstain from playing a venue if we knew they maintained a policy that discriminated against anyone. We all thrive in communities where we feel safe and accepted. And we believe that music does more to heal and unite than to divide. When we relayed this incident and our concerns to the Belly Up, they assured us that they do not have any policy that discriminates against anyone, period. We feel given our relationship with the Belly Up and the fact that they seem eager to resolve the matter, that there is hope for a satisfying conclusion here. No one should be made to feel “less than” but in this time of change, it is important to understand and to allow that there will be mistakes and to give those people a chance to fix them. That is how we all conquer this...together and with empathy and compassion.” learned in the morning, the afternoon session started – and it was just as engaging. Schragis relates to the students’ enthusiasm, which is what gave him the idea to start One Day University back in 2005. “I was bringing my daughter to college in upstate New York, and there were a dozen professors scattered around campus, giving short talks on the subject they taught,” he explained. “The parents all loved it and thought, ‘This is great! I wish I were the one going to college!’” He bought the URL that night and held the first One Day University event in Westchester County, New York, about 40 miles outside of Manhattan. A decade later, there are more than 100 events a year, and the number continues to grow. More than 66,000 students have attended One Day University, with an impressive 70 percent return rate. The next San Diego event will be held on Oct. 14. Courses will include “The Impossible Presidency: The Rise and Fall of America’s Highest Office,” “Music as a Mirror of History: 300 Years in 60 Minutes” and “The Science of Stress and the Practice of Mindfulness.”

dashboard showed that the very low .4 percent suspension rate was higher among the district’s 126 socioeconomically disadvantaged students. Petersen said what that shows them is they need to put names and faces on that data and ensure that schools have the appropriate programs in place so those students can be successful. The dashboard data includes a five-by five placement report that provides an “at a glance” display on how a district or school is performing on the state indicators. The five colored tables show which schools or student groups are performing well or are in need of support and which schools have maintained their status, increased or declined. In the five-by-five grid, Ashley Falls was the only school to report an increase by more than seven points on English language arts test scores. Del Mar Heights, Del Mar Hills and Sage Canyon were in blue and Carmel Del Mar, Ocean Air, Sycamore Ridge and Torrey Hills were in the green for declining by one to 15 points in ELA.

DMUSD Trustee Kristin Gibson said that the report is very misleading because as a higher performing school, it’s much harder to increase. A school is said to be declining if they drop anywhere from one to 15 points but to increase, they have to increase by seven points. Schools that are scoring double than the average scores are shown as “declining.” As an example, Ocean Air’s ELA scores were 105 points above level 3 and yet they fall into decline category. “For me, there’s a discrepancy,” Petersen said. “I’m hoping that there’s some change to that because I don’t know that it accurately and fully reports a district’s performance and progress.”

FROM STOP SIGN, A3 started on the effort to bring a stop sign to the intersection back in 2007. Currently there are stop signs on Caminito Mira Del Mar but none to slow the cars traveling on Carmel View Road. Farmer said people speed down the road and it can be very dangerous pulling out of the Sunstream community as there is a blind spot due the curve in the road. Farmer said drivers almost have to be in the middle of the road to see if cars are oncoming and many neighbors have reported “near-misses.” Farmer circulated a petition gathering over 100 signatures and invested time going door-to-door talking to neighbors and posting flyers in the community to raise awareness about the potential stop signs. Farmer said she was met with zero opposition. Farmer first made her request for stop signs to the city which sent staff out in 2016 and determined that the intersection did not meet the requirements for a four-way stop. The planning board has the ability to take the alternative process and request a stop sign. As part of their approval of the stop sign, the planning board will also request that the city study a potential crosswalk down the road at Carmel Grove Park. “I love where I live and I want it to be safe for everyone,” Farmer said.

Strumming through the ABCs

arch was Music in Schools Month, the National Association for Music Education’s annual celebration to promote the benefits of high quality music education in schools. Coincidentally, on March 20, the first of six sessions of a program called Guitars in the Classroom was held in Solana Beach and offered teachers a fascinating introduction to ways they can use music to engage and educate their students. Guitars in the Classroom, or GITC, is a 501(c)3 non-profit

dedicated to creating academic engagement through music in public schools. Founded in 1998, GITC focuses on teachers of students in kindergarten through fifth grade. GITC holds numerous training sessions throughout the year. This class was filled to capacity, with 20 teachers, mostly from Solana Beach School District’s Solana Vista School, which serves students in kindergarten through third grade. Solana Vista first-grade teacher Dawniel Malandra organized and recruited for the class. She said she

www.delmartimes.net had heard so much about the program and that inspired her to bring it to her school. “I’m excited to create songs together with the kids and draw them in,” Malandra said. “I want to incorporate more music into the classroom.” She said it was beneficial for teachers as well. “When teachers learn together, we can help each other,” she said. The 20 teachers were each given a ukulele and basic instruction on how to hold it, how to strum, its parts, and notes of the strings. Chords, open tuning, and keeping a steady beat were some themes. The Steady Beat lesson included counting by fours and using hand signals and body rhythms to designate the rise and fall of the notes being sung. GITC trainer Stephanie Lewis led the class, along with Jessica Baron, GITC’s founder and executive director. Together they taught simple songs the teachers could

use right away. Baron and Lewis also demonstrated more advanced ways to engage students in music and singing and showed how to incorporate English language instruction into songs. This last demo had teachers in the class visibly excited to see how GITC’s music program provides new ways to impart academic lessons. The class comes with a 44-page workbook that includes basic information on how to play dozens of familiar songs using simple chords, such as: Apples and Bananas (for vowel sounds), BINGO (spelling), and Itsy Bitsy Spider (for movement and rhyming). It’s not just learning to play to entertain and engage the kids, the instructors said. The music program will also incorporate English language and math state standards and be a powerful instructional tool. SEE SUTTON, A16

OUR READERS WRITE Clean air and emissions standards When I moved to Southern California in 1971, automobile emissions were poisoning the air. A recently published photo of LA’s shrouded skyline in 1973 reminded me how grim it was as the brown fog crept closer and closer to San Diego County. Fortunately, the California legislature passed increasingly strict vehicle

emission standards in the next few decades, so that our air quality is much improved. We have not had a Stage 1 smog alert since 2003. Even so, our air is still not fully safe to breathe. An estimated 3,600 Californians die prematurely every year from the effects of polluted air. Despite the impact of pollution on public health, President Trump’s proposed budget slashes funding to the Environmental Protection Agency, and his administration is considering not only reducing national

emissions standards but also limiting the power of California and other states to maintain stricter requirements. Such actions would endanger our state’s hard-won progress in providing its inhabitants with that most vital necessity — clean air to breathe. Anyone who thinks enforcement of clean air standards is unnecessary has only to visit China or India to see — and breathe — the result. Susan Kirkpatrick Solana Beach

Stop the spending! Water agency requires fiscal reform BY MARK MUIR s working families across the San Diego region struggle to make ends meet, the Los Angeles-based Metropolitan Water District of Southern California has no such concerns. That’s because MWD can tax and raise rates at will – and it has done precisely that. Several steps removed from nearly 20 million residents it serves, MWD overcharged ratepayers $847 million more than the agency’s budgets said was needed from 2012-2015. To make matters worse, MWD overspent its budget by $1.2 billion from 2013-2016 on things like buying Bay-Delta islands ($175 million) and turf replacement ($420 million). Anyone who has tried to balance a personal budget won’t be surprised at what happened next: In 2016, MWD authorized $900 million in unplanned debt to help pay for its overspending. These unrestrained fiscal practices have contributed to a doubling of treated water rates at MWD over the past decade – and ratepayers

are about to be on the hook for a lot more unless MWD’s out-of-control spending can be stopped. A new study commissioned by the Water Authority – based on data from MWD and its member agencies – shows MWD’s existing programs and projects can meet water demand projections under all of the hydrological conditions assessed through 2040. That means MWD’s multi-billion dollar plans to develop new supplies are not needed to meet its member agencies’ current or future demands. Instead, MWD’s continued overspending would significantly increase the financial burden on ratepayers and create significant stranded assets. The analysis confirms that MWD is undercounting local supplies being developed by water agencies across Southern California. Long-term water-use efficiency standards being developed by the state will further reduce water sales. It’s important to note that these serious fiscal issues go beyond the illegal rates set by MWD that have been successfully challenged by the Water Authority in court. A Superior Court

judge ruled in 2015 that MWD set illegal rates from 2011-2014, forcing San Diego County ratepayers to subsidize water costs across Southern California. The judge ordered MWD to pay the Water Authority more than $243 million and to set only legal rates in the future. The appellate court is expected to hear the case this spring, with a decision expected later this year. Two additional lawsuits covering rates from 2015-2018 are pending because MWD has refused to limit its rates to the costs of the services it provides. MWD’s fiscal mismanagement has led us to launch an education campaign called “Stop the Spending!” designed to improve fiscal accountability and governance at MWD. Together, we are shining a spotlight on MWD’s flawed business practices in hopes of protecting residents and businesses from needless increases in their water bills. Muir is the Chair, Board of Directors for the San Diego County Water Authority. More information about the Stop the Spending! campaign is at www.mwdfacts.com.

FROM SUTTON, A14 The other goal is, of course, to get kids excited about playing an instrument of their own and to make music an integral part of their lives. A magic wand The musical experience of the teachers in this beginner class ranged from zero to classical piano expertise. Nearly all taught in the lower grades, although a few taught fourth and fifth grades. One teacher said she was “ready to get out of my comfort zone.” Lewis congratulated the teachers for signing up for the class. “It takes some courage” to get up in front of your students with a new skill, she said. “You’re modeling for your students to see you learning something new.” The teachers were told they didn’t need to know how to read music to play an instrument. “Don’t count yourself out if you can’t read music,” said Baron. “It’s only visual in its representation. Imagine if kids couldn’t speak until they learned to read.” Baron called the ukulele a magic wand, saying the teachers using the GITC system will see children who are “out of step” or with low verbal ability start to participate with the group and blossom as they begin to strum. “The point is to bring more joy and musicality into your lives, and to transmit that to your students,” she said. Baron said music is like learning a language and will grow new neural pathways in the brain. Katie Zimmer, Solana Vista principal, said she was thrilled with teacher interest in this

program. “One of the reasons I am excited about the implementation of GITC is that it equips our teachers with another technique to meet the varied needs of our students,” Zimmer said. “Students learn in so many different ways, and integrating music into the classroom gives students another opportunity to access and learn the curriculum.” Solana Beach School District superintendent Terry Decker, who sat in on the first class, said it was rewarding to see teachers light up when learning something new and exciting. “It’s the same joy as when you see kids light up,” he said. He said he sees his teachers “taking a risk, stepping out, and investing in their craft,” and he applauded their commitment. The teachers are doing this on their own time, and not being paid. It originated as a grass-roots movement which Decker said is the best way to create change. “This grew out of their own interest,” he said. Decker said he had no misgivings about the program. “It’s such a well-regarded program,” he said. It’s research-based instruction which “ties beautifully into what we want kids to learn.” Promoting literacy The Solana Vista GITC sessions were funded by the Coastal Community Foundation, through a $1400 grant from the Betty Scalice Foundation which provides funding for music education for north coastal communities. Baron said the instruments for each teacher (and two for each

The skatepark is needed so that parents don’t have to drive their children to parks in other communities, and local children have a safe place to hang out and enjoy the sport of skateboarding, she said. Through her own research, said Swindell, she estimates that the skatepark and related infrastructure will cost roughly $500,000 to $550,000, meaning that supporters may have to raise up to $250,000 to complete the

Visitors will be able to view the wetlands from a proposed new public trail without harming the sensitive habitat.” The project’s new one-mile recreational trail

Once the grant was secured, the program was made available. A minimum of six teachers was needed to start the class, which at first worried organizer Malandra. But a few days before the first session, 20 had signed up, with more on a waitlist. Besides Solana Beach, other North County school districts that have received GITC training include Encinitas and Oceanside. Based in San Diego and active in 32 states, GITC has trained approximately 10,000 Song Leaders who are serving more than 500,000 students each week. The trainers and leadership work closely with teachers to build dynamic curriculum for literacy through music, supplying

teachers and students with training, music-driven academic instruction, coaching, educational materials, and access to instruments and musical accessories. Music in the classroom, GITC leaders say, can be used effectively as a key strategy for learning across the academic curriculum. “The inclusion of music increases student engagement in and enthusiasm for learning,” according to the website. “Our work promotes the joy of learning through the power of strumming, singing and songwriting. “Think of the power of ‘The Alphabet Song’ to teach young children their letters, and take that to the 100th power. This is GITC.” “I used the ukulele the very next day,” said Dawniel Malandra. “Every student was participating. As we learn more songs and how to write songs, I will be able to tailor our needs and match it with curriculum objectives. I think it will tap in to the students who are auditory and kinesthetic learners and those with an affinity toward music.” Malandra said she told her students she was taking the class. “They were excited to know how it went,” she said. “I think modeling life-long learning is important. I shared my successes and challenges with my new endeavor.” Lefty rights On a personal note, in addition to my obvious lack of musical ability and poor self-discipline, I blamed being left-handed for why I failed at guitar. Teachers always made me play right-handed, which I simply could not do. Air

guitar for me is automatically lefty. So I was overjoyed when Jess Baron handed me a lefty ukulele at the Solana Vista training session to practice on. It felt so “right” to go left. Said Baron, “You happen to have a new friend who is a vocal proponent of left-handed teaching for left-handed people. I have gone on the record many times in guitar education as fighting the mainstream and defending the right of lefties to play lefty.” Music to my ears. As an aside, Decker, who said the only music he could play is the radio, was strumming along with the best of them at the session. I’m looking forward to musical school board meetings in the near future. Early exposure to music for young children becomes more important – and more challenging than ever – with the federal government’s recent proposal to eliminate all funding for the National Endowment for the Arts, which has historically provided modest funding for music instruction in schools. The GITC program strives to promote academic achievement through its innovative approach to music integration in the classroom. Guitars in the Classroom is offering a summer class at Brick 15 coffee house in Del Mar (dates to be determined), and a teacher retreat in Julian Aug. 3-6.

project. But between the city and the community, she said, the project can be built. “Now is the time, our city is (financially) healthy,” she said. “This makes sense, it would definitely serve the community.” The design contract will also include plans for other amenities on the north end of La Colonia Park, Wade told the council, such as relocation of a basketball court. A veterans honor courtyard was completed at the park last year. At Wednesday’s council meeting, Mayor Mike Nichols asked if it would be possible to break ground on construction of the skatepark this year, and got a positive response.

Swindell said she, too, is hopeful to see the project move forward in 2017. Her group is seeking donations and will raise funds for the project by selling commemorative tiles, T-shirts and other items. They are planning fundraising events and will have a booth at Fiesta del Sol on the weekend of May 20-21. People with ties to the skating community, including companies involved in the industry, are supporting the fundraising effort, which has provided a boost, said Swindell. “We’re getting started and we’re already in motion, it’s all concurrently happening,” she said. “The council is in support, they want it fast-tracked and ground broken in 2017.”

Also at Tuesday’s meeting, representatives of the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society presented a $2,000 donation toward the skatepark project. A special fund has been set up to receive donations for the skatepark project at the Coastal Community Foundation. Tax-deductible donations to the project can be made at www.coastalfoundation.org/programs/ solana-beach-skatepark-fund/ Swindell said a local project supporter, Jason Estudillo, has also set up a site for donations at www.gofundme.com/solana-beachskate-park.

generally parallels El Camino Real, linking to the Dust Devil Nature Trail along the southern edge and extending north to near the El Camino Real Bridge for future connection to the Coast to Crest Trail. Where the new trail begins at the northern loop of the Dust Devil Nature Trail off El Camino Real, it would generally be 6 feet wide,surfaced with decomposed granite (DG) and designated for hikers, runners and pedestrians only (no bicycles or equestrian use). The trail would then widen at the approach to the El Camino Real Bridge and the widened section would be multi-use with a 6-foot-wide DG section for hikers and bicycles, and a four-foot-wide soft dirt section

for equestrian users. Rustic, split-rail fencing would extend along portions of the trail to enhance public safety and deter users from entering adjacent areas of sensitive vegetation. The trail would eventually connect to pedestrian lanes along the new El Camino Real Bridge across the river, expected to begin construction in 2018. Prior to completion of the bridge, the trail would only be accessible from the south. Trail users could park at the Dust Devil Nature Trail parking lot off of El Camino Real. Once the future connection at the bridge is made, trail users could also use the parking lot off San Andres Drive to access the Coast to Crest network.

According to the draft EIR, the proposed project would result in significant and unavoidable temporary impacts in the areas of biological resources; traffic, access and circulation; and noise. The EIR also includes some significant impacts that could be reduced to less than significant through mitigation.

FROM KAABOO, A4 “I’ve not seen another brand in my travels, or in my experience working in Hollywood, that is almost the mirror image of the Virgin brand — other than KAABOO,” Felts said. “It delivers a quality product, with value for money. It has a focus on the consumer. And, at the end of the day, the customer comes first.” In a joint phone interview with Felts, Gordon spoke enthusiastically about the festival’s growth and Virgin Produced. He regards the partnership with Virgin as an opportune way to expand “the KAABOO brand” this year and beyond. “We think and hope we’re taking things to the next level,” Gordon said. “Our aim is to try and bring the event and brand not only to the participants who are fortunate enough to be there, but to as many other people as possible, to radiate the KAABOO lifestyle. And not only during the event, but in the months leading up to and after the event.” Gordon bills KAABOO as a “mixperience.” The festival’s previous two editions have offered a range of VIP amenities, from on-site concierges and complimentary food prepared by a private chef to surfing lessons with Rob Machado and a swimming pool with private cabanas overlooking one of the stages. Last year’s edition of KAABOO saw a marked increase in attendance, with an estimated 40,000 people — the event’s daily legal capacity in 2016 — turning out on Sept. 17. That was the day when Aerosmith and The Chainsmokers each

drew overflow crowds for their concurrent evening sets on the festival’s largest two outdoors stages. The big crowds led to some bumps, including traffic jams in the parking lot and longs lines of pedestrians on the festival grounds, There was also a melee that occurred when more people than could be accommodated tried to attend a late-night Saturday performance by hip-hop star Ludacris in one of the festival’s indoor performance venues. “The whole layout of the site has been tweaked from last year to try and provide for better crowd flow and a little more of a central core for late-night activities,” Gordon said. “We’re also adding a ride-share terminal, where both Uber and Lyft will be able to pick up and drop off people in a central location. “I think our philosophy has remained relatively consistent since year one. And we’ve received generally positive feedback about our programming, which is that people like the diversity They like the mix between legendary rock ‘n’ roll heroes, up-and-coming new artists and established acts in the middle, who are all part of the journey at KAABOO. “Last year, we had attendees from all 50 states and, I think, 33 countries, which was a significant increase from 2015. The word is spreading, because people are telling their friends and family about KAABOO on social media. And word-of-mouth is the best advertising,” For more information, visit kaaboodelmar.com — George Varga is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

FROM RIBBON, A5 or a yellow ribbon is not going to save someone’s life, but an entire week devoted to raising awareness about the importance of taking care of our mental health and learning the warning signs to help our friends and family is something that can save a life,” Collins said. “I know too many parents and students who have lost a young adult to suicide and overdoses. The aftermath and sadness is brutal. If the work we do can encourage even just one person to reach out for help, it’s worth it.” Brinn Belya, AP chemistry and engineering teacher, said one of his former students returned from Columbia University, where he said seven students have committed suicide in the first semester of this year and another two died from drug overdoses. “Teachers and parents need to prepare high school students for the mental challenges of college, as well as the intellectual and academic challenges, so events like this Yellow Ribbon Week assembly is very much needed,” Belya said. Throughout the week, the NAMI On Campus Mental Wellness Club hosted lunchtime activities for students and created a Wall of Hope composed of student comments about reasons to love life. Junior Tavisha Thapar created the new Mental Wellness Club at school in September. As her mother is a psychologist and practicing therapist, Tavisha has always had an interest in mental health and wellness and wanted to create a place on campus for people to come learn and share

about those “turbulent teenage emotions.” “Part of the reason we struggle is because we don’t know much about mental health and how to start healing. I didn’t want there to be such a gap…I want the information to be well-known,” Tavisha said. “The issue of teenagers with depression and mental illness is very, very hidden. Nobody really talks about it, it’s very stigmatized. It’s difficult because people are uncomfortable talking about it, they change the subject or make a joke…Yellow Ribbon Week is very important to shed light and remind us mental health is something we do need to take care of and pay attention to.” Tavisha, who would like to be a psychologist, is slated to give a talk on mental health and emotional wellness to students at Carmel Valley Middle School in June. Collins said it’s important to remember that mental health and mental illness don’t happen in a vacuum. He said mental conditions are affected by genetics but they are also impacted by the surrounding environment. He said the students are fortunate to attend school in the San Dieguito Union High School District, whose board this month passed a resolution “in support of all students and declaring all schools a safe place.” “We have a district goal of student wellness, and this resolution supports the conditions that create a feeling of connection and wellbeing,” Collins said. “We should feel very proud to live in a community that is encouraging and supporting the best for every one of our students to perform to their full potential.”

FROM ARCHITECTS, A3

KAREN BILLING

The Irvine Company will work with the Torrey Hills Community Planning Board as they update the signage at Torrey Hills Apartment Homes. FROM BOARD, A2 purchased the apartments from Archstone and are looking to rebrand the signs with the company’s image. There are 340 units in the Torrey Hills Apartments development and at any one time there are 15 to 18 vacant units and 50 to 75 people looking for the complex — Andrews said the signs are needed to direct people where they need to go. The proposed new signage would include one on the embankment near the main entry, a small monument sign on the corner of Calle Mar de Mariposa and West Ocean Air and a main entrance sign in the median. The median sign is proposed to be about 9”7 wide and 3”5 feet high, replacing an existing sign that is 11 feet wide by 5”6 high. They also plan to remove the surrounding stonework. Several planning board members remarked the proposed signs looked “austere” and that

the stonework seemed to be a better fit with the surrounding community. Torrey Hills Planning Board Chair Kathryn Burton said she appreciated the reduced size of the signs but lamented that they were losing the decorative features around the old signs that seemed to better fit the community. John Pierce, senior director of Irvine Company, said they are willing to re-design the signs to make them more architecturally-enhanced. “We’re a part of the community… we want to make sure it’s right,” Pierce said. Irvine owns two other projects in Torrey Hills, including Torrey Ridge and Torrey Villas, representing more than 12,000 apartment homes in the area. With Torrey Hills, they have renovated the interiors and exteriors as well as making improvements to the on-site landscaping and contributing about $45,000 to Torrey Hills’ maintenance assessment district for landscape improvements in the community.

LA JOLLA – Abigail “Gail” Redfern died peacefully at home surrounded by family after a lengthy illness. She was an intelligent, generous and good humored La Jollan who will be deeply missed. With a ready smile, Gail always brought a positive outlook and made all feel welcome in her home. She believed in the power of education to counteract ignorance and bigotry and quietly supported causes to this effect. Gail was born in Tucson, Arizona, to Bess and Fletcher Haskell. She graduated from Tucson High School in 1950. Gail obtained both BA and MA degrees in education at Stanford University. She met her husband-to-be, John Redfern, on a summer vacation in La Jolla and they married in 1954. She taught at the Bishop’s School, but later dedicated herself to raising her three

children. She maintained an interest in the arts, particularly the opera and Spanish literature Gail is survived by her children, Donald, Tamlin and Charles; and grandchildren, Grace, Gabrielle, Chloe, Avery, Alma and Karl.

In hiring the facilities master plan architect, the district put out a request for statement of qualifications to seven architectural firms. After an “extensive” interview process, the district evaluation team narrowed it down to the final two, ultimately selecting OBR Architecture. Garrick Oliver of OBR said they were very excited about being selected, given the district’s passion and accountability toward re-envisioning the future of the educational experience. School design today looks a lot like the district’s modern learning studios, where “students have the ability to customize and take ownership of the spaces based on their varied learning styles,” Oliver said. In modern classrooms, students can stand and sit and move as opposed to being in a rectangle facing a teaching wall from a row of desks.

FROM SOLAR, A2 Even if Del Mar does not win the grant, a contingency fund set aside in the civic center’s $17.8 million budget might have enough left over to pay for the solar project, Mosier said. The long-planned project will transform the 1.5 acres at 1050 Camino Del Mar into nearly 30,000 square feet of cutting-edge civic space, including a nearly 9,000-square-foot city hall flanked by a 3,000-square-foot town hall and public plaza spanning some 15,000 square feet. Planning director Kathleen Garcia’s March 20 update to

“The interior classroom is dramatically different, at least it should be,” Oliver said of future design. “What we’re seeing at Carmel Del Mar, it looks like a work place and that’s where it’s heading and that’s really exciting,” said Anney Rosenthal-Hall of OBR. OBR said in their educational designs, they also focus on the ability to use outdoor space, to bleed indoor and outdoor space so students aren’t always stuck indoors and have the flexibility to move around and discover things on campus or have places for reflection. The cost for the architectural services for the Facility Master Plan is $39,600 and will include stakeholder meetings, site visits, a deferred maintenance plan and multiple cost estimates for renovations or new construction on campuses. OBR will also provide assistance with programming and a cost estimate for the proposed ninth school in Pacific Highlands Ranch.

the city council explained that two-thirds of the concrete slabs for the underground parking garage have been poured. The remaining concrete will pour in April, she said, with scaffolding expected to go up “in the coming days and weeks.” “We were worried that the rains may have set us behind schedule; and that may turn out to be a factor,” Mayor Terry Sinnott said in an email. “But so far both our schedule and budgets are looking good.” If construction does stay on schedule, the solar-enabled roof will go up in February 2018 or March 2018, giving

July 9, 1921 - March 8, 2017 Del Mar — June Strasberg, 95 passed away peacefully at Scripps Memorial Hospital in la Jolla on March 8, 2017. June spent her formative years in NYC with a career in advertising and the last sixty as a Del Mar resident where she was very active in local politics. She is survived by her son, Bim Strasberg and his wife alexie lewis; daughter, Jo Perry and her husband robert Perry; and grandchildren, William and rose Perry. a celebration of life is planned for June at St. Peter’s episcopal Church in Parish Hall, 334 14th St., Del Mar, Ca on Monday, april 10, 2017, at 10:00 am. light lunch will follow service.

the city two months to test and tweak the system ahead of the civic center’s dedication in May 2018. Over its first year, the photovoltaic system will serve as a demonstration project meant to encourage property owners and other governments to try their hand at solar, said Assistant City Manager Kristen Crane, who is overseeing the civic center construction. Energy will be metered in real time in the lobby of city hall and broadcast on the city’s website as part of a collaboration with the Center for Sustainable Energy, a San Diego-based nonprofit. Several cities in the region have put solar arrays into place, including Carlsbad, National City, Chula Vista and San Diego. But only Escondido has taken that a step further and added energy storage systems, according to SANDAG. Escondido runs seven storage sites in the city. Because Del Mar’s new city hall will be so much more energy efficient than the facility that had operated out of a converted schoolhouse for more than 40 years, city leaders remain unclear on how quickly the energy savings will cover the expense of the system. But with roughly $200,000 in hardware alone, the break-even point is likely several years away, Mosier said. A crucial unknown is how well the photovoltaic system will perform so close to the beach, enshrouded as it so often is by clouds and coastal fog. “It’s not like Poway, out in the desert, where the sun shines almost every day and all day long,” Mosier said. “We have our Mays and Junes when the sun may only be out for three or four hours.”

Gao, a 7th-grader at Carmel Valley Middle School in San Dieguito Union High School District, and Luigi Gono, an 8th-grade student at Granger Junior High School in Sweetwater Union High School District. The winning speller must win the round and spell the final championship word correctly. Hande missed his word in the fifth round, but Gono got tripped up by the would-be championship word. Hande won the following round when he correctly spelled “blucher,” a type of shoe. He won the competition by then spelling the championship word, “sphacelated,” correctly. Round one started off relatively easy with words such as “shampoo,” “humble,” and “interrupt.” But it quickly became more difficult for spellers, with half spelling out in the first and second rounds. The third round introduced words that were not provided to the students to study in advance, including “splacknuck,” meaning odd animal, and “sondage,” meaning a sounding of the earth as by boring or digging. This was the first year that 6th grade students were included in the competition. There were

Del Mar Heights students raise $2,227 for San Diego Charity

t’s the little things that add up. Through a multitude of small efforts, elementary school students at Del Mar Heights School raised $2,227 in a one-month period for San Diego Chill, a charity that teaches non-competitive ice hockey to children with developmental disabilities. The effort, spearheaded by the Heights Cares student group, involved every class, with each grade organizing their own fundraiser, said Susanne Chakravarty, a parent who helped organize the project. Third graders, for example, put on a rummage sale on Saturday, March 25, that netted $820, while kindergarteners, second graders and sixth graders put on bake sales. Fifth graders created coin jars for every classroom and encouraged other students to chip in by doing extra chores and donating their allowances. “Our students really got into it,” Chakravarty said. “It’s an amazing way for our students to learn to show initiative and take ownership for a cause that matters to them and their community.” Two years ago, Heights Cares started a new tradition of organizing a school-wide annual fundraiser for a local charity

nominated and chosen by students themselves through a “grant” process. Last year, Heights Cares raised $1,150 for Nick’s Picks, a nonprofit that gives hospitalized children backpacks filled with items to help lift young patients’ spirits during their recovery. The amount was matched by the Del Mar Heights PTA, raising the total contribution to $2,300 for Nick’s Picks. This year, the PTA pledged a $1,000 match, lifting the total donation to at least $3,227 for San Diego Chill. Money was only part of the objective for the Heights Cares fundraiser, however. In addition to raising funds, “our goal is to get our Del Mar Heights students engaged all the way through the process of a fundraising project, from initially proposing and choosing the charity, all the way to doing their own fundraising,” Chakravarty said. “The whole school is involved, and it’s an amazing way for our students to learn to show initiative and take ownership for a cause that matters to them and their community.” “My sister is in kindergarten, and she had a bake sale. So we made some cupcakes and cookies. We sold a lot of them!” -Riley, Del Mar Heights third grader Online: www.delmartimes.net

Local retailers are encouraged to donate items and gift cards for the raffle drawings that are held throughout the night. Restaurants and bakeries can donate snacks - there are multiple food and drink stations that need to be stocked. Anyone can donate bottled water, raffle prizes and gift cards (perhaps save those cards you receive at the holidays that you are aren’t planning on using and forward them on to the Grad Nite CCA committee). And, of course, cash donations are always welcome. Vendor donors will be acknowledged on the CCA Foundation Grad Nite website and in the monthly e-mail blasts. For more information or to coordinate a donation pick-up, please e-mail ccagradnite@yahoo.com.

Philanthropist Madeleine Pickens, Event Co-Chair Dominique Plewes and the Del Mar Country Club recently announced that Captain Richard Phillips, who was dramatically rescued from the clutches of Somali Pirates by Navy SEALs in 2009 and was portrayed by Tom Hanks in the 2013 film Captain Phillips, will be the keynote speaker at the sixth annual fundraiser to benefit the SEAL Family Foundation on Saturday, April 29. This year’s golf tournament and dinner gala will thank the Naval Special Warfare community and their families for their military service, and to honor their fallen heroes. The evening’s honored guests will be Medal of Honor Recipients Senior Chief Special Warfare Operator Edward Beyers and Mike Thornton, retired United States Navy SEAL.

COURTESY OF LA JOLLA CONCOURS D’ELEGANCE

As part of La Jolla Concours d’Elegance, more than 100 one-of-a-kid automobiles will be on display Sunday, April 9 at The Cove.

Concours d’Elegance

13th classic car show rolls into La Jolla April 7-9 BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN The 1934 Packard Twelve Runabout Speedster — featured car of the 2017 La Jolla Concours d’Elegance — was finished in black with black leather accessories when it was delivered to Washington D.C. as one of only four such cars built. In 1985, General William Lyons purchased the vehicle and commissioned restorer Richard Martin to refurbish it, adorning it with the shade of blue it will wear for the La Jolla event. From Friday, April 7 to Sunday, April 9, the 1934 Packard, along with more than a hundred other signature automobiles, will take over the streets of La Jolla. With parties and parades to cocktail-time shows and receptions, car lovers have an opportunity to immerse themselves in the elite automotive world. The La Jolla Concours began in 2003 as a way to showcase the beauty and charm of downtown La Jolla during the winter months, according to a press release. “In 2003, Michel Ullman, Terry Underwood and Yvette Marcum met at Georges at The Cove restaurant and drew up plans to host a car show on the lawn at Ellen Browning Scripps Park,” it reads. At the March 8 La Jolla Village Merchants Association meeting, Concours d’Elegance chair Michael Dorvillier, highlighted the various ways the event contributes to La Jolla business. For example, the various Concours parties don’t serve dinner “to encourage attendees to eat at Village restaurants. We specifically chose not to valet, so people have to park in The Village and walk around,” he explained. The main event, set for Sunday, April 9. It features 150 one-of-a-kind classic vehicles parked in front of breathtaking views of La Jolla Cove. The 13th edition of the event brings top-quality cars and activities to several La Jolla locations. Proceeds from Concours d’Elegance benefit the La Jolla Historical Society, among other local organizations. Through the charity code program, ticket buyers have the opportunity to donate $10 to their favorite local non-profit while receiving a $5

discount on their ticket. To take advantage of this, guests can enter the organization’s code when buying tickets online. The codes are: La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA), La Jolla Parks & Beaches (PARKSANDBEACHES), La Jolla Rotary Club (ROTARY) and San Diego Automotive Museum (SDAUTOMUSEUM).

Events Schedule ■ Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Contemporary Classic Cocktail Party invites auto lovers to start their weekend 7-10 p.m. Friday, April 7 at The LOT, 7611 Fay Ave. with a display of Rolls-Royce vehicles, “lively libations, elevated bites” and entertainment. Tickets $175. ■ BH Gold Tour d’Elegance departs 7 a.m. Saturday, April 8 from the Symbolic International Garage, 11425 Sorrento Valley Road and will take participants on a caravan-style cruise to La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club, where lunch will be served, followed by a fly-over of World War II-era planes. Open to all vehicles, the tour is $225 per vehicle, which includes two passengers. ■ Bentley Motors “Imagine” reception will take place 6-9 p.m., April 8 on the field of the Concours d’Elegance at Ellen Browning Scripps Park, 1100 Coast Blvd. The Saturday night soiree will host tastes from 15 San Diego restaurants and creative gin cocktails.

Bottlecraft curated beer boutique, bar now open in Solana Beach BY KAREN BILLING Bottlecraft Beer Shop and Tasting Room is now pouring in Solana Beach. Inside the craft beer boutique beer-lovers will find everything from sours to stouts and barrel-aged to blondes, available by the taste or by the bottle. Owner Brian Jensen said Bottlecraft is different than a normal bar and more than just a retail shop — a perfect fusion of the two. This will be Bottlecraft’s fourth San Diego location to go along with Little Italy, North Park and Liberty Station shops; Jensen has had North County on his radar for a long time and when the beachy space opened up nearby to where the South Park resident surfs, he snapped up the opportunity. Bottlecraft took over the former Beerworks space in the Beach Walk Shopping Center off Highway 101. While Jensen will look to do some things different and new, he kept the entire Beerworks team for their knowledge and passion of the craft. After a quick switchover, the shop reopened in March and will celebrate its grand opening on April 1. “We have been getting a lot of the regulars coming back and they’re happy to see the familiar faces behind the bar,” Jensen said. “People are excited about the bottle selection and the different approach to the draft offerings.”

Bottlecraft offers everything from sours to stouts and barrel-aged to blondes, available by the taste or by the bottle. There is also a lot of excitement around the kitchen — since taking over, Jensen has completed a kitchen remodel and is bringing in Big Front Door (bfd) a gourmet sandwich shop that will also serve up cheese boards and wings to pair with the brews. The bfd pairing is similar to the partnership he has with Venissimo Cheese in his North Park shop — he teams up with someone who specializes in food while he handles the beer. Jensen has worked in nearly every aspect of the food and beverage industry, including cooking, wine sales, brewing and restaurant management. He attended college in San Diego at Point Loma Nazarene before heading to New York City to study at the French Culinary

Bottlecraft owner Brian Jensen Institute. Although he was studying wine and sharpening his palate, he discovered that there was a lot to learn about craft beer. “Beer I found was just as complex and interesting, if not more so, than wine,” Jensen said. His inspiration for his future ventures came from the wine shop he worked at in Brooklyn — he wanted to offer something similar for beer aficionados. He shopped for unique bottles in city bodegas and never felt it was the same experience as visiting a wine shop, where there was a nice presentation of products and a staff who knew how to talk about it. Back in San Diego, he kept his idea in mind of the direction he wanted to go; it took him a few years but he eventually opened his first Bottlecraft

in Little Italy in 2011. The second location followed in North Park in 2013 and then the third in foodie-emporium Liberty Public Market in March 2016. In taking over the Beerworks location, Jensen has made some minor tweaks. The retail section has been improved and expanded and he may add on to the 20-taps behind the bar. The brick walls are bare for now but he is working to bring in local artists’ pieces — he is also working with the Coastal Commission on opening up the front windows. “We’re taking it slowly but surely, but obviously the main focus is the beer and making sure that we have the best, that’s our goal,” Jensen said. At least 50 percent of the beers are from California, 35 percent domestic

and the rest international labels, broken up by easy-to-peruse labels. Jensen said they will always have what’s next and what’s new. “The retail section fluctuates so that every time you come in there’s something new, that’s the fun of it,” Jensen said. In addition to pouring beer, they will also serve five wines by the glass and are also working some more wine bottles into the retail mix. “I’m trying to offer really interesting wines that are hard to find in San Diego,” Jensen said. “We’re super-geeky about the beer we carry, wouldn’t be in line for us to carry just basic wine.” Like all Bottlecraft locations, the Solana Beach shop will do special events and collaborations with local breweries. Bottlecraft is currently in the midst of a collaboration with Pure Project Brewing and Mother Earth Brew Company, set to release on Earth Day on April 22. The beer, called Three Sisters, is inspired by the waterfall and trail in Descanso and a portion of the proceeds will go to the San Diego River Park Foundation. Stay updated on upcoming events and weekly staff beer picks at bottlecraftbeer.com. Bottlecraft is located at 437 S. Highway 101, Solana Beach, and is open Monday through Thursday from 3-11 p.m. and Friday to Sunday from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.

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-tothree 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. It’s not like switching from neuroscience to firefighting; but if you have, for instance, grant writing skills, you would be an ideal candidate for a wide variety of jobs.

Perfect Pineapple opens in Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch BY KAREN BILLING Local Annie Glenn has opened her ninth retail store in San Diego with The Perfect Pineapple at the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch in Carmel Valley. The tabletop and hostess gift shop opened on March 1 across from her Urban Girl shop. The Perfect Pineapple is the first of its concept of all of Glenn’s stores. She has two other Urban Girl locations in Del Mar Plaza and Seaport Village; American Nostalgia, San Diego Surf Company, Urban Beach House and Seaport Shore Company at Seaport Village; and an Urban Beach House in Del Mar Plaza. Glenn runs the stores with her husband Chris; the perfect pair of aspiring entrepreneurs met in college at Point Loma Nazarene. After graduating they pooled their money to open a kiosk in Horton Plaza in 1993 — “we’ve been doing this a long time.” Glenn is a proud Carmel Valley resident and has lived in Pacific Highlands Ranch for nine years, “It’s such a great town, I love it,” she said. Her son Jack graduated from Canyon Crest Academy in 2016 and son Cooper is now in eighth grade at Pacific Trails Middle School, part of the school’s first graduating class. He plans to attend Torrey Pines High School in the fall.

Owner Annie Glenn in her new store, The Perfect Pineapple at the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch. “Urban Girl in Carmel Valley has been doing so well, it’s incredible,” Glenn said. “We started to see a need for a gift shop with hostess, teacher and birthday gifts. But Urban Girl already has clothes, jewelry and shoes and it was bursting at the seams.” Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch ownership, Coast Income Properties, approached her about the space that was up for lease

The Perfect Pineapple is full of tabletop and hostess gifts. across the street from Urban Girl and she was flattered and excited by the opportunity to expand. “Coast Income is like family,” Glenn said. “They are incredible owners, they are here at the center every day. They have really made it their own, (The Village) is unique and it’s very special.” With cheery pineapple wallpaper and flower-stamped tile floors, every wall, shelf and tabletop is filled with fun gift items in the

Perfect Pineapple. There is a variety of unique cutting boards, serving platters, glassware, coffee mugs, throws, pillows and outdoor accessories such as funky avocado and donut-shaped pool floats. The back brick wall is lined with tea towels, wine bags and wine tags. Glenn said the store is a perfect one-stop shop for people on their way to a party or gathering, they can grab a bottle of wine at Trader Joe’s and stop in at

Perfect Pineapple to pair it with a bag and card and they’re good to go. As both of her stores gift wrap for free, Glenn said she has had people send photos from parties where every gift was from Urban Girl or Perfect Pineapple. “It’s just so cool and it makes me so happy,” Glenn said. The name for her new store was inspired by Glenn’s love of pineapples — she has always loved the smell, the taste and how they can evoke a Hawaii vacation. Hidden pineapples are scattered everywhere throughout the store — on napkins, candles, cards, tea and even the store fish SpongeBob has a little pineapple in his bowl. “Pineapples mean ‘welcome’ and ‘welcome home’ and it has always been the signature scent of Urban Girl,” Glenn said. “As a sister store to Urban Girl, it’s the perfect gift shop, the perfect home, the perfect welcome — the Perfect Pineapple.” Outside, a window illustration bears her favorite pineapple quote: “Be a Pineapple: Stand tall, wear a crown and be sweet on the inside.” Perfect Pineapple is open from 9:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., one of the few Village stores open late to pop in after dinner or during an evening stroll. The store is located at 5980 Village Way, #103, San Diego, 92130; 858-324-6218.

Classic Matzo Brei An easy, classic pancake-style recipe called ‘matzo brie’ has been said to have more variations than Jewish grandmas. Sweet versions served with fruit preserves or maple syrup (like the recipe featured) are a traditional breakfast dish, while savory ones blended with onions, mushrooms, herbs and spices accompanied by hot sauce or ketchup make a satisfying lunch or dinner.

Matzo’s gone mainstream!

■ Ingredients:

n the evening of April 10, millions of Jewish families around the world will be sitting at the Seder table celebrating Passover or Pesach, an eight-day holiday that centers around the retelling — and through symbolic foods and imagination — reliving the historic Exodus of the Hebrew slaves from the fleshpots of Egypt more than 3,400 years ago. In haste, as the Israelites fled from Pharaoh, they packed dough that didn’t have time to rise and baked in the desert sun forming a flat cracker. Matzo, the special unleavened Passover “bread” (perforated and baked to a perfect crispy char, while probably the butt of as many jokes as Christmas’ fruitcake), commemorates freedom and liberation. If Moses were alive today, he would be impressed by the array of modern matzo choices to suit a range of taste buds and dietary restrictions. Perusing the many Passover supermarket displays around town, I found organic matzos in both plain and whole wheat varieties. I also found several GMO-free and gluten-free ones, along with spelt, bran and egg matzos (even yolk-free), and an “everything” version flavored with onion, garlic, poppy seeds and salt. Further, I came across round, handmade Shmura matzos following

strict Orthodox standards so that fermentation, which is part of the leavening process, does not occur at any stage of the preparation — even the harvesting of the grain. Finally, the divine selection of scrumptious chocolate-covered matzos would satisfy even the most discriminating sweet tooths. While scoping out the offerings, I met an old acquaintance of Irish descent, who does not celebrate Passover, but nevertheless was stocking up on a variety of matzos. She told me that she uses them throughout the year as a bread substitute. She tops them with everything from chopped heirloom tomatoes, fresh garlic and a drizzle of virgin olive oil for a zesty bruschetta — to almond butter and bananas as an afterschool treat for the kids. That made me think outside the matzo box for these concoctions to enjoy year ’round: 1. Bridging Passover with Easter, which follows six days later, construct an open-faced sandwich on whole wheat or onion matzos topped with chopped eggs (a symbol of rebirth and resurrection) or shredded spring lamb with a creamy horseradish dressing. 2. Bake a bubbly matzo pizza or lasagna with fresh mozzarella and basil leaves,

• 4 sheets of plain matzo (organic preferred) • 4 large eggs, beaten • 1 cup hot water • 1/4 teaspoon almond or vanilla extract (optional) • 2-3 tablespoons of unsalted butter or olive, grapeseed or sunflower oil ■ Method: In a large mixing bowl, break matzo into bite-size pieces. Cover with hot water and soak for about one minute until COURTESY soft. Drain. Add eggs and seasonings, and mix well. Next: Add butter or oil to a large skillet and heat on medium. Add matzo mixture, and cook till bubbling and edges become crisp. Flip either whole or in wedges. Cook for another three minutes, and transfer to a serving platter. Serves 4. — Courtesy of Kitchen Shrink’s grandma. For more matzo recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

and zippy marinara sauce. 3. For elegant hors d’oeuvres, top thin tea matzos with olive or eggplant tapenades, or a layer of thick sour cream, chopped red onions, and red or black caviar. 4. Concoct a vegetable, chestnut or sausage and matzo stuffing for a capon, turkey, chicken and duck. 5. For a savory breakfast, whip up a wild mushroom and red pepper matzo

frittata, or slather cracker of choice with cream cheese and top with lox or smoked salmon, capers and thinly sliced red onion. 6. For a sweet breakfast, make fluffy vanilla bean pancakes called “bubaleh” with ground matzo meal. 7. Break into bite-size pieces, drizzle with olive oil, sea salt, and assorted herbs for crispy chips for hummus, guacamole or other favorite dips.

The Spice Way celebrates its two-year anniversary with special event April 9 On Sunday, April 9, The Spice Way celebrates its two-year anniversary from 11 a.m. – 5 p.m. Encinitas’ enchanting boutique spice and tea store has had much success over the past two years offering a wide variety of spices, blends, tea and infusions. Free cooking classes have become a staple to help educate the community on how to spice up one’s meal. Additionally, The Spice Way has enjoyed participating in many special events around town including the Encinitas Botanical Garden’s Gala as a food cuisine sponsor. The spice and tea store has been a proud donor to over 18 different nonprofits around town over the past two years. “Giving back to our community is a strong value we hold near and dear,” says Debbie Kornberg, owner of The Spice Way. “Having worked in nonprofits for 20 years, I understand the importance of supporting our local organizations and the tremendous impact they can have in people’s lives.” Marking its two-year anniversary, The Spice Way will feature free cooking demonstrations, kids’ activities, free tastings, and an opportunity drawing. To celebrate the day, a 15 percent off sale on all spices and tea will be available. There will be a variety of free classes offered to the public including cooking demonstrations with Chef Oliva Hayo and owner Debbie Kornberg. A self-care class showing how to make homemade facial masks using herbs and spices with staff member Marissa Koontz will also be featured. The theme of the event will be Nature with Benefits and classes will be running throughout the day between 11:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. For a schedule of

It was so delicious and now we have the recipe to share with the rest of our patrons.” The two-year anniversary event will be held at The Spice Way store located at Camino Village Plaza, 260 N El Camino Real, Encinitas, CA 92024.

FACE Foundation’s 7th Annual Bags & Baubles fundraiser is April 30 On Sunday, April 30, pet lovers and trendsetters alike will come together for the most fashionable fundraising event of the season – Bags & Baubles. From 1 - 5 p.m., the San Diego-based Foundation for Animal Care and Education (FACE) will host its annual silent auction fundraising event at an exclusive Rancho Santa Fe estate to raise funds and awareness for local pets in need of life-saving care. “Bags & Baubles is a unique event that allows guests to shop ‘til they drop for a good great cause,” said FACE Executive Director Brooke Haggerty. Each item available for bid has been donated to the foundation to help raise money to prevent “economic euthanasia,” an issue where families are unable to afford life-saving surgery or treatment for their ill or injured pets. All funds raised at the event will go directly to animals in need. Along with the silent auction, guests will enjoy

Roles and race are center stage in ‘Red Velvet’ The Old Globe Theatre’s thought-provoking drama set in 1833, London

he Old Globe Theatre’s newest production, “Red Velvet,” is a thrilling drama that transports audiences to the turbulent backstage world of London’s Theatre Royal in 1833. It’s there that young, black American, Ira Aldridge, takes over the role of “Othello” at the Royal Convent Garden Theatre. This is not OK with some cast members, critics and audiences, because no black man in the 19th century has ever starred as Othello on a London stage. In discussing his path to the role, Albert Jones, who portrays Aldridge, said he appeared in a play as a young boy and thought he might enjoy acting. “I was heading to law school, but I kept thinking about acting,” he said. “So I stopped applying at law schools and applied to graduate programs for acting. I got into a really good one and never turned back.” His impressive resume (Globe for All’s “Much Ado About Nothing,” “Macbeth,” “Pericles,” “Richard III,” and in film “House of Cards”) proves he made the right decision. His role in “Red Velvet,” centers on a man Jones said he’d heard of, but knew little about. Jones credits Lolita Chakrabarti and Stafford Arima for their talents in playwriting and directing, which make Alridge’s story relevant to modern audiences.

“When I got the audition, I remember reading the play once and then again the same night,” Jones said. “It kept calling me. The language was very captivating and it didn’t take much more than that to make me want this role. I see Ira as a truly fearless man to leave his country, his home, and go to England to confront the societal issues of that time. He became a living legend — lauded from the footlights of Stratford to the halls of Saint Petersburg. I truly look up to him, and I’m amazed at his fearlessness and willingness to be out front. “I hope audiences see the lengths he was willing to go, to pursue his passion in life and to try and become as good at his craft as he could.” Jones added that he’s very happy to be at The Old Globe and to participate in how it works. “The Old Globe is comprised of artists, so there’s artistry and collaboration on all levels,” he said. “The set design is astounding. The costumes of all the characters are amazing ... It all works to breath new life into the action for the actors as we step on that stage.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Red Velvet” runs through April 30 at The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego. Tickets from $29. (619) 234-5623. theoldglobe.org
