School district board discusses term limits BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board discussed the possibility of imposing term limits on the governing board at its April 21 meeting. The item was on the agenda at the request of trustee John Salazar. SDUHSD Superintendent Rick Schmitt said if the board decided to move forward on term limits, it could be placed on a future agenda and the board could work together to develop a resolution. If the board chooses not to pursue term limits, a citizen’s group could go through the initiative process with the San Diego County Registrar of Voters to place the item on the ballot for an upcoming election. At this time, the board decided not to move forward with changing its policies. Salazar, in favor of term limits, said he didn’t think it was possible to change any of the board’s minds but wanted to bring the issue up. “We don’t have a lot of diversity on this board and I thought if we had term limits, we would be able to have SEE LIMITS, A22

Del Mar council considers SB School District seeks law enforcement options companies for projects BY KRISTINA HOUCK With some in the community still unsatisfied with the services the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department provides Del Mar, the City Council is once again considering whether to supplement the services or create a standalone police department. The city began exploring its law enforcement options more than three years ago when residents raised concerns over the cost of services, the lack of police presence in the community, and the slow response to
low-priority calls. A consultant team hired in 2013 to review the city’s contract, compare the city’s law enforcement costs to other cities, and evaluate other law enforcement alternatives provided updated costs and options at the April 18 council meeting. Since its incorporation in 1959, the city has contracted with the Sheriff’s Department for law enforcement services. In 2013, when the consultants were initially hired, Del Mar paid more than $1.7 million for services. Today, SEE POLICE, A19

Water board wrangles over $35.6M budget BY JOE TASH Santa Fe Irrigation District directors got their first look at proposed $35.6 million budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1, and the discussion reflected a split among board members that has carried over from an earlier contentious debate on proposed rate increases for the majority of district customers. The discussion took place Thursday, April 21, at the board’s regular monthly meeting. The district provides drinking water for customers in Rancho Santa Fe,
Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch. Over the next two months, the board will hold public hearings on the rate plan and the budget, which is built on the assumption that rates will be raised in both June and January. The public hearing on the rate plan is set for May 19, when the board will decide whether to implement a new rate structure that would raise district revenues by up to 9 percent annually, with the first increase proposed for June 1. Also at the May meeting, the board also could approve a maximum of 9 percent in rate hikes
Three juveniles in Carmel Valley overdose on Xanax BY CITY NEWS SERVICE
Overdoses suffered by three Carmel Valley juveniles while abusing a prescription antidepressant were under investigation April 22, authorities reported. The youths were stricken and hospitalized after taking Xanax on Thursday, April 21, according to police. Their conditions and ages were withheld. No arrests were announced. Xanax, a trade name for the tranquilizer alprazolam, is prescribed to treat anxiety and panic disorders caused by depression.
for 2017 and 2018, although separate votes would be needed before the subsequent rate hikes could take effect. A public hearing on the budget is scheduled for June 16. The board is split on the rate plan, with directors Marlene King and Greg Gruzdowich on the losing end of a series of votes related to the proposal. King and Gruzdowich also raised objections to the budget, saying that it relies on assumptions from a rate study they contend was flawed. According to a staff report
prepared on the budget, the district’s expenditures next fiscal year would include operating costs of about $23 million, capital projects of $11.3 million and debt service of $1.3 million, for a total of $35.6 million. Total revenues are projected at $28.3 million; the gap would be filled from reserves, with just under $1 million coming from the district’s rate stabilization fund, and $6.3 million taken from the capital improvement fund. District general manager Michael Bardin cautioned the board that
even with the proposed rate increases in June and January, the district will be unable to contribute to its reserve funds this fiscal year, and that total reserves will fall below the level required by board policy. Among the factors cited in a staff report for the tight fiscal situation are that water sales — and therefore district revenue — are down due to state-mandated water-use cutbacks; less than normal availability of cheaper, local water due to the drought; and increases in imported SEE BUDGET, A22
Solana Beach to update Seascape Sur stairway BY KRISTINA HOUCK In an effort to prevent an emergency closure of the Seascape Sur public access stairway, the Solana Beach City Council on April 13 approved a professional services agreement with Noble Consultants to design repairs for the more than two decade old structure. “We concluded the stairs are safe and that’s why they’re still open,” said City Engineer Mo Sammak. “They have plenty of life left in them. However, they do require a major maintenance program.” Built in 1995, the stairway was constructed with a concrete pier supported structure and several flights of
stairs at the south end of the city. The piers and the landings over the piers were constructed out of concrete, while the stair flights were made out of treated lumber. Five of the piers are on the bluff and three are on the beach. The city has performed regular inspections and routine maintenance of the structure. In 2008, the beach piers were encased with an interlocking jacket system to strengthen them against surface wear from the impacts of sand and cobble, especially during winter months and high tides conditions. The harsh marine environment, however, has rusted the metal hangers
and fasteners that support the treated lumber steps. “They are in very good structurally sound condition but they are rusting at a relatively rapid rate,” Sammak said. “We probably should replace them. … But with time, those will deteriorate even worse.” Additionally, the handrail at the bottom of the staircase has rusted, Sammak said, and the treated wooden stair treads need to be replaced due to normal wear and tear that has occurred over the 20 years that the stairway has been in service. According to the staff report, if this SEE STAIRS, A22

Supervisor candidates spar, weigh in on issues BY JARED WHITLOCK Three candidates vying for a seat on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors traded barbs and weighed in on transportation, development and a new Chargers stadium during an April 21 forum. The two Republicans in the race, Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar and Escondido Mayor Sam Abed, criticized incumbent Dave Roberts, a Democrat, over personnel issues. But Gaspar and Abed also took aim at each other, suggesting they believe only one Republican will advance to face Roberts this fall. Only two candidates will emerge from a June 7 primary, followed by the general election on Nov. 8. A spot on the five-member San Diego County Board of Supervisors, which oversees a more than $5 billion budget, hangs in the balance. Among her critiques of Abed, Gaspar took issue with a chart from his team crediting Abed with Escondido’s improving finances in recent years. Gaspar attributed this turnaround to the hard work of businesses and the economic recovery. “I think our business community would be a little upset to see the graph, because they’re the hard-working individuals that turned the city around,” Gaspar told the small crowd during the forum, held at Morgan Run Club & Resort in Rancho Santa Fe. In response, Abed said Gaspar is desperate because she’s behind in the race, adding she’s attempting to discredit Escondido’s success.
JARED WHITLOCK
Escondido Mayor Sam Abed, incumbent Dave Roberts and Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar take part in an April 21 forum at Morgan Run Club & Resort in Rancho Santa Fe. “Mayor Gaspar, I voted ‘no’ for the budget deficit, and I voted ‘yes’ for the balanced budget,” Abed said. But Abed and Gaspar were united in their criticisms against Roberts, who has faced workplace controversy. Three employees last year left his office and filed claims alleging an abuse of power, including that Roberts instructed employees to work on his re-election campaign on county time.
The San Diego County Board of Supervisors in September agreed to settle the claims for $310,000. Last week, the District Attorney’s office announced it won’t file criminal charges. Roberts said the personnel matter was confidential. He added that his colleagues have continued to elect him to leadership roles, proof of their confidence in him. “This election is going to be about where
the candidates stand on the issues,” Roberts later said. He also made the case that his policy positions align with the district, which covers much of North County, including Del Mar, Solana Beach and Encinitas, as well as the northern part of the city of San Diego. Abed said Roberts violated the public’s trust and should have to reimburse taxpayers the $310,000. Both Abed and Gaspar said Roberts’ personnel issues played a role in their decision to enter the race. Moderator Logan Jenkins, a columnist with the San Diego Union-Tribune, asked the candidates about a number of regional matters. On the topic of a new Chargers stadium, Gaspar said the desire for a hometown team should be weighed against the impact on the hotel industry. Under a plan recently put forth by the Chargers, voters in the city of San Diego in November would decide whether to raise taxes on hotels to help build a $1.8 billion hybrid stadium and convention center near Petco Park. Last year, city of San Diego leaders advocated for a now-defunct proposal that would have used city and county money for a stadium. Abed said he’s against using taxpayer money for building a Chargers stadium, stating those funds are better spent on infrastructure, water and public safety. “We are struggling as the government to provide you with basic services,” Abed said. Roberts said if any county money is SEE FORUM, A22

Local philanthropist changes the game for kids through golf BY KRISTINA HOUCK For more than 20 years, a local nonprofit has proven that the game of golf can be a game-changer for kids. Pro Kids provides golf training and school tutoring to underprivileged children in City Heights and Oceanside. “It’s unbelievable to see the impact our program has on these kids,” said Rancho Santa Fe resident and Pro Kids Board President Bill Fontana. “It’s an amazing program.” Founded in 1994 by former San Diego Chargers tackle Ernie Wright, the organization partnered with the city of San Diego and the San Diego Unified School District to use Colina Park Golf Course to teach life-skills and golf to inner-city children. Pro Kids later become an affiliate of The First Tee, an international youth golf and education program that has helped more than 10.5 million children since 1997. Pro Kids started a scholarship program in 1999, which has since awarded $1.8 million in awards to 141 students. In 2001, the organization opened its more than 7,000-square-foot Learning Center, which houses a community room, computer lab, classrooms, pro shop and swing simulator room. Replicating the success of its flagship program in City Heights, Pro Kids opened a second facility in 2011 in Oceanside. Today, the organization serves more than 1,500 students ages 7-17 throughout San Diego County each year. “We’ve got a dynamic group of people who are giving their time and their effort to make this program something very special,” said Fontana, whose wife, Karen, serves as a mentor

for the organization. Born and raised in San Diego, Fontana earned a bachelor’s degree in business at Pepperdine University and went on to work as a developer for decades in the San Diego region. He was the co-founder and president of Westana Builders, a company that constructed about 2,500 homes in a little more than 10 years. After he retired, Fontana and his wife purchased a second home in Hawaii, where the couple stayed for several months out of the year. Struggling with this new phase in his life, a doctor suggested Fontana get involved with the community when he returned to San Diego. That’s when a close friend connected him
with Pro Kids and he got his first look at the City Heights site. Pro Kids founder, the late Ernie Wright, was there that day. “He was a very engaging personality,” Fontana recalled. “He convinced me, after I had a chance to listen to his story, to go on the board.” Fontana joined the board of directors in 2002. He has served as president of the board for the past few years. “It is an absolutely unbelievably great organization,” said Fontana, a father of three and grandfather of six. “If Ernie Wright was alive right now, he would just be blown away, I think, about how successful this program he got off the ground with virtually nothing has become.”

To continue to grow the program, Pro Kids is holding its annual fundraiser, Celebrates, May 7, at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines Hotel. The organization will honor Peter Ueberroth for his lifetime of contributions to sports and sportsmanship. From 1980 to 1984, Ueberroth was president of the Los Angeles Olympic Organizing Committee, the organization responsible for staging the 1984 Los Angeles Olympic Games. He served as commissioner of Major League Baseball between 1984 and 1989. Ueberroth is currently managing director of Contrarian Group, an investment and management company. He is also owner and co-chairman of the Pebble Beach Company. “Peter Ueberroth exemplifies the nine core values we promote in delivering character development and life skills to the young people we serve: honesty, integrity, sportsmanship, respect, confidence, responsibility, perseverance, courtesy and judgment,” said Pro Kids CEO Keith Padgett. “He agreed to honor us by serving as the honoree,” Fontana said. The reception starts at 6 p.m., followed by the dinner and program at 7 p.m. A table for 10 at the event is $3,000. Individual tickets are $300. “Our whole organization is geared around providing opportunity for kids,” Fontana said. “We’re really there just to provide a helping hand for these kids.” For more information or to purchase tickets, visit www.thefirstteesandiego.org/celebrates.

Del Mar receives funding for new civic center BY KRISTINA HOUCK Plans for Del Mar’s civic center complex took a major leap forward on April 26 when the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank (IBank) Board approved financing the majority of the project. “The Del Mar City Hall-Town Hall is the type of project IBank was created to support,” said Teveia Barnes, executive director of IBank, which was founded in 1994 to finance public infrastructure and private development that promote jobs, contribute to the economy and improve the quality of life in California communities. “The new facility provides economic expansion and serves the common
good of the community.” Located on the site of the city’s current facilities at 1050 Camino del Mar, the project includes an 8,722-square-foot city hall, 3,172-square-foot town hall and 15,000-square-foot public plaza. Following the council’s direction in November, city staff initially submitted an application to IBank for a 30-year loan for the total project budget of $17.845 million plus a 1 percent financing fee for a total request of $18.024 million. Along with staff, the city’s Finance Committee concluded that an IBank loan was the most costSEE CENTER, A22

The presentation took place on April 12 in Gelson’s corporate offices in Encino.

Solana Beach couple celebrates 65th wedding anniversary BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although Jim and Jane King went to high school together, they weren’t high school sweethearts. Jim was a senior at San Dieguito High School, now known as San Dieguito Academy, when Jane was only a freshman. “I knew who he was because he was into sports, but he didn’t know who I was,” Jane said from the couple’s Solana Beach home. “That’s not entirely right,” Jim said with a smile. It wasn’t until several years later that the two started dating. Now, decades later, the Solana Beach couple will celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary on April 29. “I’d gone to La Paloma Theater with my brother,” Jane recalled the start of their romance. “He saw me siting there.” Jim had been asked to participate in a play in Rancho Santa Fe alongside friends in the Rancho Santa Fe Village Strollers. Although it would be his first time on stage, he used his theater debut to get a date. “I called her after seeing her and asked her if she would like to go to the play,” Jim remembered. “So I tortured her for our first date,” he added as they both laughed. “It was a lot of fun.” The couple’s first date in 1950
ended with dinner at a restaurant at the old Del Mar Airport adjacent to the Del Mar Racetrack. It was a whirlwind romance. They married just six months later at the La Jolla Presbyterian Church on April 29, 1951. Jim was 24 and Jane was 21 years old. They held their reception at the old Del Mar Hotel. “We got married when most people were getting married — in their 20s,” Jane said. Jim graduated from high school in 1944, with Jane following three years later. Jim had served in the U.S. Navy for two years. He later owned a Culligan water treatment franchise with his family for 40 years. He also served on the Santa Fe Water District Board of Directors for more than a decade and was a Solana Beach Elementary School trustee for 19 years. Jane founded Adelaide’s Flowers in La Jolla with her brother in 1949. The shop, which was named after their mother, stayed in the family for more than 60 years. A stay-at-home mother, Jane also served on the children’s hospital auxiliary board. Almost 40 years ago, the couple purchased a small resort called Rock Creek Lakes Resort in the Sierra Nevada mountains. Their

son and daughter-in-law now own and manage the resort. When asked for their secrets to a long and successful marriage, Jim somewhat jokingly said his wife “drops the little things.” “Jane has the ability to pass over what could be disturbances, I think, more than anybody I’ve ever known,” he said with a laugh. “Really?” she asked, also laughing. “She can change subjects pretty easy,” he responded with a smile. On a more serious note, Jim said he and his wife tell each other “I love you” and give each other a

The couple said their similar backgrounds and common interests have also contributed to a successful marriage. “We were raised during the Great Depression,” said Jane, 86, whose parents met and married at Grand Canyon National Park. They relocated to Encinitas in the late 1920s. She had an older brother and sister, who have since passed away, and has a younger brother who lives in Encinitas. “We did similar things,” added Jim, 89, whose parents came from
Canada, moved to New York and then to California in the mid-1920s. He had an older brother and younger sister, who have both since passed away. “Our families went on camping trips and went to the beach. We had a lot of things in common.” In 1965, the Kings bought the one-story Solana Beach home where they still live today. The first of their three children was 10 months old at the time. A close friend from high school designed the house, which was built from the ground up for the couple. It expanded as their family grew, adding a bathroom, bedroom, game room and garage — where they store their three Model A Fords. Model A enthusiasts, they both belong to a club in San Marcos. “I’ve never lived anywhere else,” Jane said about Solana Beach and Encinitas. “It’s perfect. We’re close to the beach. I don’t know of a place I’d rather live.” With their 65th anniversary this week, Jim and Jane don’t have big plans, but intend to mark the milestone with their family. They enjoy spending time with their son, daughters and three grandchildren. “If you marry the right one, it’s easy,” Jane said. “We did it right.”

Carmel Valley runner back on track with win at half marathon BY GLAE THIEN Ahead of the 35th annual La Jolla Half Marathon, not a single hand was raised when the race announcer asked runners who was going to win. Certainly not one from a 39-year-old Carmel Valley resident who had just returned to the sport last fall following an 18-year absence. Top 10, maybe top five, figured Jamaal Ryan, encouraged by recent training. Then Ryan took the lead at the outset and literally didn’t look back to prevail in the men’s race by 49 seconds in 1 hour, 19 minutes, 11 seconds on Sunday, April 23, over the 13.1-mile course that begins at the Del Mar Fairgrounds and ends at La Jolla Cove. The first step was taken when a friend and running enthusiast urged Ryan to give running another try. In turn, he rekindled interest lost due to burn-out after competing in high school near Medford, Ore., and training for two years at the University of Oregon. “Aside from family No. 1 and job No. 2, it’s given me focus to have passion for something else in my life,’’ said Ryan, a father of four who works in business development. “It’s never too late to get back into it. That’s what’s so great about events like these. There’s so much energy, and you meet great people.’’ Ryan opened up a 100-yard lead into the fifth mile and kept most of it up the hill at the Torrey Pines State Preserve. Past the

A fan favorite at the finish line was 13-year-old Caleb Cohen, of Studio City, who set a personal best (1:37:45) by about 12 minutes in his fifth half marathon. “It was awesome,’’ said Cohen, while waiting for his father, Steven, to finish 20 minutes later. “The ocean, the views. And I stayed with my pace.’’ There were 5,800 entries, off 200 from last year. Thien is a freelance writer for the San Diego Union-Tribune.

There aren’t a lot spots where people can make a move on you unless they were holding back.” Robert Skaggs, 49, of Solana Beach, finished second (1:20:00), followed by Nik Shalygin, 30, of La Jolla (1:20:07). It was the slowest race in the four years since the course record (1:06:23.2) was set.

Imperial Beach’s Bonnie Keating (1:22:35) used a late surge to prevail by 20 seconds for her second women’s victory in three years. This added to a second-place showing and personal best at the Carlsbad Marathon in January, when she qualified for this year’s U.S. Olympic Trials. “I went out kind of conservatively and did my best to get up some hills,” said Keating, 31, who bettered her previous winning time by three seconds. “Then I caught up ground on the downhill. I ran it a lot smarter than I have in the past.” Keating took the lead to start the 12th mile ahead of eventual runner-up Bridie McCarey,

Ask the Financial Expert by Aubrey Morrow, Certified Financial Planner®
How much EXTRA did you pay in taxes on April 15? It’s disturbing to know that 45 percent of Americans paid no Federal Income Taxes in 2015! How much did you pay? Wheree to look? Find your 2015 tax return: Thee front page is Form 1040. Check line 63 (which hich shows how much you paid in federal income ttaxes). ) Next, check your California tax return Form 540 and find line 64. Find your Kleenex box and calculator, total both numbers and divide by 12. That number is what you paid, on average, each month last year. Shocked? Want to be shocked even more? Most of you reading this actually paid more than you should — why? You probably only had your taxes prepared vs. planned. Has your tax preparer ever taken time to read and explain your return with any suggestions? Keep this in mind: Taxes are not just taxes — taxes are dollars. Our firm does not prepare taxes — we leave that to the accountants, enrolled agents, CPAs and tax attorneys. However, we do READ tax returns, and (just maybe) could show you some ideas and strategies so you will only pay your “fair share” and no more than necessary. In my 30-plus years as a private financial planner, I have reviewed literally thousands of tax returns — and the great majority of people simply pay much more than necessary. I have clients who pay zero taxes and some others who pay more than $1M in taxes. It’s interesting to review these tax returns and great to show people how they might be able to reduce their tax liabilities. My challenge to you is to find your most recent tax return. If it’s your 2015, jot down what you paid in federal and California taxes — total both and divide by 12. Remember, that number is what you paid, on average, each month last year. Wow, you say! Did I really pay THAT much? Yep, you did! So what to do if you want to potentially pay less this year? Our firm provides a complimentary meeting to review your most recent return. Now, it’s up to you. Aubrey Morrow, president of Financial Designs, Ltd. is a Certified Financial Planner, Registered Investment Advisor Representative with more than 30 years of experience.

Torrey Pines Pop Warner sees increase in registration Torrey Pines Pop Warner registration is open for football and cheer teams, and the group has seen a huge increase in its registrations compared with this time last year. As of the non-profit’s first in-person registration on Sunday, April 17, there was a 50 percent increase from last year. “We are ecstatic about the numbers,” said Ward Wilsey, the Torrey Pines Pop Warner Board president. “There’s a ton of kids in this area who want to play tackle football, and the signups are a reflection of that.” Cheer Coordinator Sara Malo reflected on the increase in cheer numbers. “We’ve worked hard to develop great teams that are competitive in national cheer competitions.” Malo said. “That success is translating into more girls wanting to be a part of the program.” Pop Warner football programs across the nation have suffered from declining numbers, mainly related to concerns about concussions and head injuries. “Injuries are always a concern with contact sports, but we’ve taken great steps to ensure player safety,” Wilsey said. “Our implementation of rugby style tackling and shoulder blocking has encouraged kids to take their helmet and heads out of the equation.

3 kid-friendly reasons to choose a pediatric dentist over a general dentist
It’s a complicated world for today’s parents. Critical decisions await mom and dad around every corner as they try to navigate through the process of raising happy, healthy kids.
One such decision – whether to take their child to a pediatric or general dentist – should be clear cut according to one local specialist. Dr. Kami Hoss still remembers how he felt as a young patient sitting nervously in the oversized chair at his parent’s dentist. Anxious and scared, he says those early visits defined his path to creating a new experience for young patients.
kids too,” smiled Dr. Hoss. Pediatric dental offices like The Super Dentists have specialists with years of training treating children and also use smaller equipment specifically designed for a child’s mouth to create a completely different experience. “We have flavored gloves and equipment that isn’t as intimidating as what you’ll find in a general dentist’s office,” Dr. Hoss said. “And we can use lasers a lot of times instead of drills. These things make a big difference to kids.”
Now the co-owner of The Super Dentists, Dr. Hoss and his wife, Dr. Keri, and their team of experts offer pediatric dentistry, orthodontic care, teeth whitening, Invisalign, Invisalign Teen, invisible braces and the latest accelerated braces technologies to their patients. Located across Oceanside, Chula Vista, East Lake and San Diego, they do so inside office environments fit for kids of any age. “Kids are actually excited to come to the dentist now,” Dr. Hoss said.
Additionally, Dr. Hoss and his staff are experts in easing their pediatric patients into an appointment or exam. “We take it one step at a time and show them the equipment we will be using,” Dr. Hoss said. “This helps keep down their nerves.”
Read on for three reasons why.
“That’s my first memory,” he laughed. “Our practice and many other pediatric offices have much smaller chairs that are perfect for kids.”
Pediatric Dentists Are Specialized Pediatric dentists are specifically trained to treat children’s developing teeth and potential issues. This can include gum problems, cavities, tooth decay and crowding of the teeth. “All they do is see kids,” Dr. Hoss said of pediatric dentists. “They are not only very good at everything related to the technical dental needs of the child, but they are also great at understanding child behavior and working with children who have special needs.” Pediatric practitioners are also focused on preventive dental health, which includes educating parents on the importance of flossing and twice-daily brushing. They have the latest information on preventive treatments and are able to position a child for a lifetime of healthy dental habits. “There are a lot of things that parents don’t realize they can be doing to really make a positive difference in their child’s dental and overall health,” Dr. Hoss said. The Equipment Isn’t As Scary!
As for that oversized chair from his childhood?
A Kid-Friendly Experience Specialized dental practices for kids are generally brightly colored with special touches to make your child feel like he or she is in a comfortable place. The more relaxed your child feels before the appointment, the smoother the entire visit is likely to go. It is crucial for dentists to establish a friendly relationship with children to combat fears and to deliver effective treatment. Dr. Hoss and The Super Dentists have mastered the art of fostering an inclusive environment. “We don’t just pop up a couple of video games and hope the kids have a good experience,” Dr. Hoss said. “We always take it one step beyond. From our educational movies to our community presentations, and all the way down to the language we use, we are transforming the dental experience for kids.” Visit www.thesuperdentists.com to find a location near you.

OUR READERS WRITE Short-Term Vacation Rentals help city thrive Visitors to our beautiful city of Del Mar come for the many world-class amenities we have grown to love. From the Del Mar Race Track, fairgrounds and music festivals to the world-renowned San Diego Zoo; from our beautiful beaches to our majestic mountains; from award-winning dining to the incredible arts, thousands of visitors from all over the world bring their families year-after-year to enjoy all that Del Mar and its surrounding communities offer in such a spectacular way. Because of the exclusivity they provide and the opportunity to be together as a family, many of these visitors choose Short-Term Vacation Rentals as their best temporary housing option. Much as we may consider a visit to another exclusive location for our family vacation such as France or Italy or the beautiful North West; or an annual ski trip to Aspen or a family adventure to Washington, DC to teach our children more about our heritage, Short-Term Vacation Rentals are often our best temporary housing option. The City of Del Mar is currently considering restrictions on Short-Term Vacation Rentals. I would offer that a well-managed and regulated Short-Term Vacation program designed to enhance the property values and neighborhoods in which they reside, would offer the greatest economic value to our community and its many merchants while offering visitors the vacation experience they desire. We are a remarkable City with the honor and privilege of perfect weather and surrounding amenities. People from all over the world visit our race track, beaches, museums and best in-class medical facilities, often choosing Short-Term Vacation Housing as their best option. I believe that we should embrace the significant social and economic benefits that visitors bring to our fair city by maintaining well managed policies encouraging Short-Term Vacation Rentals.

Thank you, Anne Harvey Anne Harvey, the soft-spoken and insistent conscience for open space preservation and sound urban planning, retired from the Carmel
Valley Planning Board April 28, ending decades of official service to Carmel Valley, Torrey Hills, Pacific Highlands Ranch and Del Mar Mesa. Few can claim as much impact on the shape of these communities. Her passionate resistance to the destruction of open space habitat inspired successful efforts to protect Carmel Mountain and Del Mar Mesa Preserves, essential parts of the connected ecosystems that include Torrey Pines State Park and Los Penasquitos Canyon Preserve. I first met Anne and her sister Lee, a documentary filmmaker, one rainy December morning in the early 1990s sipping strong coffee at a table outside the Highlands Starbucks. They made a compelling case for preserving what was then bureaucratically called Neighborhood 8A, 450 acres of endangered habitat. The politically-connected behemoth Pardee Homes was revving up the bulldozers to clear the way for1,500 homes and a shopping center Thanks to the Harvey chutzpah that coalesced a determined movement of environmentalists, Carmel Valley residents, and community planners, property owners and developers eventually came to the table. Today, Carmel Mountain Preserve is protected for all to enjoy and Pacific Highlands Ranch is a thriving planned community. But none of those successes could have happened with passion alone. It also took Anne’s grasp of public policy and the intricacies of development and planning regulations that she generously shared over the decades with the Planning Boards she served on. I would challenge any on the City’s Planning Commission to rival her ability to sort out the issues from dense environmental studies and to draw reasoned conclusions. Anne ‘s quiet demeanor combined with an uncanny ability to colorfully articulate the issues made a powerful presence at the countless and often numbing City Council and Planning Commission hearings she testified at on behalf of neighborhood and environmental interests. For those who hike, bike and ride the trails of Los Penasquitos Canyon, Del Mar Mesa and Carmel Mountain Preserves, Gonzalez Canyon, the CVRP path south of SR56, just to name a few, there should be markers along their way thanking Anne Harvey. There are more battles ahead as new development pressures threaten treasured open spaces and trails. Hopefully, Anne will still be on
the front lines with her characteristic style, talking softly, but carrying a giant stick. Lisa Ross, Lisa Ross is a former Carmel Valley Planning Board Member and currently serves on the Del Mar Mesa Planning Board.
Carmel Valley Senior Center would be a welcome addition to community We are responding to Karen Cody’s opinion piece regarding the lack of a senior center in Carmel Valley. My husband and I have lived here since 1987 and as we are aging the same thought had occurred to us as well. We miss a senior center in Carmel Valley. We are now visiting senior centers in Encinitas, Carlsbad, Vista and, further away, La Mesa. We also go to the Balboa Park Club for senior afternoon dancing events two times a month. We enjoy the senior afternoon dances , it keeps us fit. Research has proven that dancing keeps the mind and the body healthy. There is usually a live band and some refreshments, all for $5. It would be nice to have a senior center here in Carmel Valley. There is a Community Center on Townsgate Drive, but it only offers senior exercise classes. One afternoon a month could be added in this facility for a senior dance until we have our own senior center. Regina Reinhardt, PhD, Fred Schwartz
SFID water rate increase protest At the April 21 Santa Fe Irrigation District (SFID) board meeting, I turned in my written protest to the proposed increases. I am in my fourth year as an SFID board member, and these are my personal opinions: 1) Don’t be misled by the “9-9-9” increase. The rates are not being spread equally. Some customers will pay less than current rates, but if you use a normal amount of water for a larger property you will see over a 20 percent increase in the first year. Compounded rate increases for the new higher tiers will be near 50 percent over three years.

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) 2) The SFID board was initially told it would receive multiple rate scenarios from the consultant we used for the Cost of Service Study. We essentially received only one, and my attempts to vote for more scenarios were blocked by the SFID board in a 3-2 vote. 3) Legally defensible cost studies are based on a set of assumptions. I strongly disagree with the assumptions used in the cost study that was approved by the SFID board in a 3-2 vote, over my objections. 4) The cost study assumes about 30 percent availability of Lake Hodges water to justify the new rate increase structure. However, SFID’s 2016 budget and the proposed 2017 budget only assume 9 percent Lake Hodges water, which is a glaring inconsistency. Without ample local water, I do not see how the lower water tier rates can be financially justified. 5) The proposed rate structure also loads many of the fixed costs of the SFID, such as the cost of all employees pay and our fixed cost of debt service, etc. into our water use rates, not into our meter fees. I believe that a higher percentage of our fixed costs should be in our meter fees, which vary by size of meter on your property. 6) If more SFID fixed costs were in meter fees, then there would be no need for higher “drought rates,” which is where everyone really pays more for using less water. The reason for drought rates is that with lower water sales (revenue), the district is not supporting its fixed costs. We have currently been drawing down our reserves because of this. The SFID cost study consultant has told the SFID board that their approach is similar to other studies they perform. But they have also said during board meetings that other valid assumptions could be used and also be defensible. I would
FROM POLICE, A1 the city pays more than $2.1 million for its contract, which increases by about $100,000 every year. The city currently contracts with the Sheriff’s Department for a total of 5.32 deputy sheriffs for 24-hour coverage. Under the existing contract, the department also provides 1.26 deputy sheriffs, or 42.5 hours, for traffic enforcement and a full-time detective who splits his time between investigating crimes that occur in the city, issuing citations and managing the RedFlex red-light enforcement program. “For a city the size of Del Mar, you actually have a pretty robust enforcement situation right now,” said Jim Armstrong of Ralph Andersen & Associates. A retired city manager of Santa Barbara, Armstrong noted he has 37 years of local government experience, including 29 years as a city manager in three California cities. Additionally, Del Mar has three full-time and three part-time parking enforcement officers, a full-time code enforcement officer, a full-time sworn park ranger, and four full-time and 55 part-time lifeguards. From a standalone department to supplemental services, the consultants presented a variety of law enforcement options. The annual net cost to operate a standalone police department is estimated at almost $2.4 million. The start-up costs total an additional $1.2 million, plus another $2.2 million to $3.2 million to design and construct a police station.
like to see a revised Cost of Service Study and a new rate proposal, as would Director Marlene King. The three directors who happen to represent the Solana Beach general area have voted 3 to 2 to deny additional rate analysis. If you are concerned and agree with my opinions, you can protest the rate increase by May 19, but it must be in writing. You can also show up for the public meeting on the same date. Greg Gruzdowich
Water issues Open Letter to the Santa Fe Irrigation District: Your water rate increases are going through the roof! Where’s the transparency in the new water rates if we don’t have a clue on the real reasons for the increase? Our water comes from several different sources at different costs. Why do some properties receive a reduced rate when everyone else gets a higher rate? Are all water costs the same to all properties? If not, why? Water is water to your customers so why do different areas have different water cost rates? Even if you don’t blend the water sources, shouldn’t you blend the water rates to be fair to everyone? Blending the different water costs would equalize the costs to everyone. Are there really different rates of water costs for different sized properties and/or different locations, aside from reclaimed water that is not for residential use? It would appear that some properties get a reduction in their rates regardless of whether those properties have instituted all available water conservation measures. How is this far?
The costs would cover 20 positions, including a police chief, a police commander, four police sergeants, five patrol officers, a traffic officer, an administrative assistant, two part-time detectives and five part-time reserve officers. At least two officers would be on shift at any given time. Among the other law enforcement options presented, the city could add a full-time community service officer, or CSO, which would cost $83,777 a year. The officer would be able to get to know community members, enforce municipal code violations and work alongside parking enforcement officers. Designating all parking enforcement officers as CSOs would create a much greater presence in the city, said Greg Nelson of Ralph Andersen & Associates. A CSO, however, cannot respond to low-priority three and four calls since they are not armed and cannot be dispatched by the Sheriff’s Department. “You don’t want a citizen thinking they’re dealing with a police officer when they are not,” explained Nelson, a recently retired chief of police of Pekin, Illinois, with 20 years of law enforcement experience. That’s why the consultants suggested the CSO have a distinctive uniform, bicycle and vehicle. According to data from the Sheriff’s Department, for the first nine months of 2014, the median response times to priority three calls (minor accident, reckless driving, DUI, among others) was 14 minutes, with an average of 15.4 minutes. For priority four calls
(loud parties, prowlers, fires, assaults, burglaries, among others), the median response time was 29.4 minutes, with an average of 45 minutes. The most common types of these calls include responding to a residential or auto burglary after the incident has occurred, petty thefts and vandalism, as well as responding to reports of loud parties, according to the report compiled by the consultant team. The report states that slow response to excessive noise complaints was the biggest concern expressed to the consultants. Del Mar could hire two part-time CSOs, which would cost $64,124 a year — saving the city nearly $20,000 — and provide more flexibility, but it could also result in greater turnover and training periods. “The disadvantages with any part-time employee is you’re going to have more turnover,” Nelson said. “People are going to move on. They’re going to seek better employment and better pay and benefits.” Other options included supplementing the existing operations with hourly support or augmenting the sheriff’s contract with private security services. Using private security services would cost about $90,000. Officers could issue parking tickets and enforce selected minor municipal code violations if authorized by the council, but again, they could not respond to low-priority calls. A final option would be to enhance law enforcement operations by adding a CSO through the existing contract with
The proposed rates charge the least expensive water to many homes with lots essentially based on the smaller size of those properties. Why do some properties receive a reduced rate when everyone else gets a higher rate? How is that fair and equitable? What about the huge lawsuit that has recently been won that will provide a future windfall for the SFID? You say you had reserves, what were they spent on or do we still have some reserves? Your average of 9 percent, 9 percent, 9 percent over the next 2 -and-a-half years is not compounded and is misleading. This probably represents the very low side of what will happen and is not the much higher costs that most people will see on their water bills increasing starting in June 2016 and then increasing again seven months later in January 2017 and then increasing again a year later in 2018! Do people really understand that there are two types of increases – one for the fixed rate for your size of meter and then the higher rates for water used above the base with an added tier and new ranges? Both are changing and compounding the new total water rate of increase for most of the properties. One final question – Do all of the current board members receive the proposed 9 percent rate increases on their property or are their increases considerably below the 9 percent average in the areas where they live? While this letter was addressed to the SFID board, I encourage all ratepayers to sign a protest letter now before May 19 to get some real answers from the SFID Board of Directors before our water rates go through the roof! Marion B. Dodson
the Sheriff’s Department, which would cost about $121,000 annually. Sheriff’s Department CSOs offer many services that are currently being provided by both deputies and the park ranger. Although non-sworn and unarmed, they can also handle many low-priority calls, non-injury traffic crashes and traffic direction, and enforce parking and municipal code violations. The CSO could also be based in Del Mar, creating a visible presence in the community. CSOs, however, are not able to respond to low-priority calls where a suspect or violator may be present, but those types of calls are rare in Del Mar, according to the report. If Del Mar’s highest priority is to reduce response time for priority three and four calls, the consultants recommended that the city increase services from the Sheriff’s Department through additional deputy hours, which the city is currently doing, or add a new CSO to its contract with the department. “If that’s your primary objective by enhancing the services, you really need to go through the Sheriff’s office either with a community service officer or additional overtime hours,” Armstrong said. If Del Mar’s highest priority is to increase patrol visibility and a sense of safety in the community, the consultants recommended that the city hire two or more part-time CSOs. If Del Mar moves forward with this option, the consultants also recommended that the city consider reclassifying all parking enforcement officers as CSOs.
With separate recommendations that only partially addressed the community’s concerns, Councilman Al Corti asked the consultants what the best alternative would be if he wanted to increase visibility in the community, increase response times and have additional traffic enforcement. The consultants said the best solution would be to hire a CSO and also invest in additional overtime hours, unless Del Mar decides to move forward with a standalone police department. “The response times to the priority three and four calls are not out of line for other urban areas, but many small communities with their own agencies enjoy much better response times, and that’s really what the staffing model we presented to you would also provide,” Nelson said. “Also, you get an additional level of control. They’re your employees. You set your policies. Communities really handle their police departments in different ways.” The city’s Finance Committee, which initially recommended the city look at law enforcement alternatives, plans to further evaluate the report and to return to council in about a month with recommendations. “I think the Finance Committee will be coming forward with some more specific recommendations, so this report is for us to digest and to hear from,” said Deputy Mayor Terry Sinnott, who serves as a liaison to the Finance Committee. “I think it will boil down to a decision around service. Service level is a big deal from my perspective.”

FROM SUPER , A1 people, hiring 250-300 employees per year. With an annual operating budget of over $300 million for the 2016-17 year, SRVUSD receives more than $17 million per year in parent/private donations, and $6.7 million per year from a local parcel tax. SRVUSD is one of the top performing districts in California. Over 94 percent of graduating seniors attend college or university, and District students are accepted into the University of California and the California State University systems at rates far exceeding state averages. The District has been recognized for its excellence with 23 Gold Ribbon Schools, more than any other district in northern California. It has also been recognized by the U.S.
Department of Education through the National Blue Ribbon School program. Schmitt stated, “I am humbled and extremely grateful to have been selected to lead the SRVUSD. I will always be grateful to the SDUHSD community for all it has done for my family, as both my children graduated from Torrey Pines High School. I wasn’t expecting to leave, but it is a terrific opportunity. I am looking forward to relocating to the Bay Area, where my wife and I started our family many years ago, and where much of our extended family currently lives.” “Mr. Schmitt has been a tremendous asset to the District and I am sad to see him go,” San Dieguito Union High School District Board of Trustee President Beth Hergesheimer stated, “I understand this is an amazing opportunity for Mr. Schmitt and his family, and
know that he will do the same fabulous work in San Ramon as he did here at San Dieguito. Mr. Schmitt accomplished so much in his 13 years at the San Dieguito Union High School District, including establishing a commitment to high community visibility and partnerships, building strong relationships with staff and parents, and leading the work to continually improve student achievement while caring for the overall well being of each student.” Hergesheimer will work with her fellow trustees, staff and the community on replacing Schmitt. Schmitt’s last day with the San Dieguito Union High School District will be June 30, 2016. Pending San Ramon Valley Unified School District board approval, Schmitt is expected to start work in San Ramon on July 1, 2016. — Submitted press release
FROM PROJECTS, A1 funding, are the reconstruction of Skyline School and the modernization of Solana Highlands School. With a need for school improvements, the district is currently exploring whether to place a general obligation bond to pay for them on the ballot in November 2016. Founded in 1925, the Solana Beach School District has seven elementary schools, including Solana Santa Fe in RSF, and a child development center. In 2014, the district opened its seventh school, Solana Ranch Elementary School, in Pacific Highlands Ranch. Other schools, however, opened decades ago and need to be updated. Skyline School, for example, was constructed in phases between 1955 and 1961 and was modernized in 2000. In preparation for a potential
bond measure, the district is currently working with architects and engineers on improvement projects for the schools. Architectural firms are in the design phase of the Skyline and Solana Highlands projects, which are scheduled to be submitted to the Division of the State Architect for review in October. The Division of the State Architect provides design and construction oversight for K-12 schools, community colleges, and various other state-owned and leased facilities. As part of the process, the district plans to establish a committee to review the request for qualifications and perform interviews, if applicable. The committee will give consideration to firms with proven performance records for “timely and expedient completion of construction projects,” according to the staff report. A recommendation for construction firms will be presented to the board for approval.

proposed for a stadium, then the plan should have to go to a regional vote. Although Abed and Gaspar tangled throughout the forum, they voiced similar positions on several issues. They objected to a half-cent sales tax that SANDAG is considering putting on the ballot to fund highway infrastructure and public transit. Gaspar said North County is unlikely to see much of the money, while Abed said the potential initiative would allocate too much toward public transportation, as opposed to roads. They also voiced support for the proposed Gregory Canyon Landfill in North County. “The least environmentally-friendly option is to truck our trash out of state,” Gaspar said. Roberts is opposed to the landfill. He argued it could contaminate the San Luis River, which supplies drinking water to Oceanside. Roberts added that he’s committed to reducing trash, noting that the Board of Supervisors unanimously backed his Zero-Waste Initiative. In regards to transportation, Roberts said SANDAG should prioritize rail and traffic projects to ease the bottleneck at Sorrento Valley Road, which is in the third district. “We have a major corporation that’s talking about leaving San Diego County if we can’t get that fixed,” Roberts said. All of the candidates said they’re in favor of amending the county’s General Plan in certain circumstances to allow more affordable housing. Roberts said the county’s General Plan is a roadmap for future housing, but that it’s “not concrete” and projects should be considered on a case-by-case basis. He pointed to the San Elijo Hills community in San Marcos as a model development that fits the area. Gaspar said she’d only consider General Plan amendments if proposed developments mitigate impacts and have adequate infrastructure. Abed echoed them, and he also said government regulations that add to home costs should be examined. The North San Diego County Association of Realtors hosted the event. Candidates joked that Rancho Santa Fe was an odd place to hold the forum, since it falls outside of the third district.
effective and flexible option for the project. The committee, however, recommended the city borrow $16 million and use roughly $2 million in cash to cover the remainder of the project. The council agreed. With no questions, the IBank Board quickly came to a unanimous decision, approving $16.16 million in financing for the project. “We demonstrated that we had sufficient financial resources to easily accommodate this loan,” said Assistant City Manager Mark Delin, who attended the board meeting in Sacramento. IBank is located within the Governor's Office of Business and Economic Development and is governed by a five-member board of directors. “We’ve locked in low-interest rate financing for a 30-year loan of $16 million,” he added. The IBank loan is a lease revenue bond, Delin explained. It is the most common type of municipal financing. In fact, the city used such financing to refinance Del Mar Shores Park. The civic center project will be used as the primary leased asset for the loan. To avoid capitalized interest, the Powerhouse Community Center will be used as the leased asset during construction. Because it is valued at more than the loan amount, the city will only be leasing about half, Delin previously explained during a council meeting. At the council’s request and as part of the IBank Board’s decision, Del Mar can substitute the Powerhouse back after construction without having to go back to the IBank Board for approval, Delin said after the board meeting. All the city has to do is take a few small steps such as updating the title reports. “That’s a big step that we were able to get accomplished,” Delin said. City Manager Scott Huth recently said that the civic center project is on schedule, with staff expected to move to interim facilities in May and demolition of the existing city hall to take place in June and July. The design team, he said, is working on construction drawings, which should be available in August, with a construction contract awarded in early fall. Estimated construction of the civic center project is between 18 and 24 months.
FROM BUDGET, A2 water costs from the district’s suppliers. The proposed new budget calls for $6.9 million in labor costs for a workforce of 46 full-time positions, up 7.1 percent from the current year. The additional labor costs of $460,000 include funding for one new position, three temporary positions and a 5 percent employee raise spread over the next three years, which was granted by the board in December. Before the board considers approval of the budget, however, it will tackle the issue of the proposed rate increases. Under state law, if the districts receives 3,253 written protests from customers — representing a simple majority from owners of parcels with water meters — the proposed rate increase would be blocked. As of Thursday, district spokeswoman Jessica Parks said approximately two dozen protests had been received. The protests must be hand-written and signed, and delivered to the district office either by U.S. mail or in person. Emails, faxes or copies of protest letters will not be accepted, Parks said. The deadline for submittal of protests is the May 19 meeting. At the board’s March meeting, the panel voted 3-2, with Gruzdowich and King dissenting, not to include a clip-out protest
form with a mailer about the proposed rate increase sent to Santa Fe customers. A similar protest form was used by the city of San Diego when it was considering a proposed water rate increase. The last in a series of district-sponsored community forums on the proposed rate plan was scheduled for 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday, April 26. In other discussion on Thursday, operations manager of the district’s R.E. Badger Filtration Plant sought to reassure the board and district residents that they don’t need to worry about lead contamination in the local water supply, similar to what happened recently in Flint, Mich. “We are not Flint, Michigan, there are a lot of differences between us and Flint,” Shaffer said at the beginning of a brief presentation. The primary differences, he said, are that Flint’s water came from a more corrosive source, and that lead pipes were used to bring water into Flint homes. Neither of those factors are present in the Santa Fe district, and California law strictly limits the amount of lead that can be contained in water pipes and fixtures. Water monitoring to detect lead and other contaminants is conducted both on a monthly and annual basis, said Shaffer. “We’re very low risk of lead and copper in our system,” Shaffer said.
A Tip from the SeaWeeders Garden Club: How to save water in your garden: Mulch Keep every drop of water in your garden by covering your soil with a thick blanket of mulch made from dry leaves, shredded cuttings, chipped bark, or even stones and rocks.

FROM LIMITS, A1 more diversity. We don’t really reflect, I don’t believe, the student population or the parents. Only one of us has a child in school. I’m not saying that I think (being a parent) should be a requirement of being on the school board…but I think it would be a good thing to have maybe more parents on the board.” In addition to the possibility of adding diversity to the board, Salazar said if there were mandatory openings on the board, more people might be encouraged to run. In the last election cycle, SDUHSD did have an incumbent who was not re-elected but Salazar said that is very rare. “I feel like this school district does have a wall around it just because the barrier to entry is difficult,” Salazar said. “This would be like putting a revolving door in.” Trustee Mo Muir said Salazar raised a lot of good points and she agreed that parents make valuable board members as they are more in touch with what’s going on and more invested. “When you have skin in the game it makes a big difference,” said Muir, who is the only board member with a child
FROM STAIRS, A2 maintenance work is not completed, “the deterioration would eventually reach a point where the stairs would have to be closed so that emergency maintenance work could be performed." Noble Consultants originally designed the Seascape Stairway. Noble also was design consultant and prepared the plans for the 2008 maintenance project. Additionally, the company designed the Del Mar Shores stairway reconstruction project and the lower wood-tread portion of the stairs at Tide Park Beach. “They have extensive experience in designing this type of marine structure. They’re very familiar with our city as well,” Sammak said. “So we felt that they are the appropriate people to help us in designing the maintenance program.” The city budgeted $50,000 for the project for the current fiscal year. The project is estimated to cost $34,510, but staff requested $40,000 in case the California Coastal Commission has requirements that lead to additional design work. “We believe that hiring Noble is in the best interest of the city, not only in saving staff’s time for soliciting proposals, but also the fact that they are the most efficient and expert in this field,” Sammak said.

in the district, at La Costa Canyon. Trustee Amy Herman said even if there were term limits, it wouldn’t necessarily guarantee that more parents would be on the board. SDUHSD Board Vice President Joyce Dalessandro, who has been on the board for 20 years, said there’s a great deal to be said for incumbency and the commitment that goes along with it. “Every single outstanding board member is completely in touch, visits every single school, goes into classrooms, talks with parents, gets involved with different aspects with what’s happening at different schools. It takes a huge amount of work, no question about that, but it is done,” Dalessandro said. “The board members who have been on the board awhile do that all the time, that’s part of the job, to know the kids, to know the curriculum, to know what the principals are all about, who’s doing what where. It’s the job, we’re expected to do that. And we do, all the time.” Two of the five SDUHSD seats are up for election in November, those held by Dalessandro and President Beth Hergesheimer. The filing deadline for candidates is Aug. 12.
In a 4-0 vote with Deputy Mayor Peter Zahn absent, the council approved the agreement. Councilman Mike Nichols suggested replacing the stairway with concrete rather than wood because he said pressure-treated lumber is “not really good” for bare feet and that concrete would last longer than wood. Because the structure was originally designed and constructed with wood stairs, however, Sammak said he was not sure if concrete would be an option for the project. He plans to return to council with alternatives when the work is ready for approval. The structure will have to be closed, so construction will start at the end of summer. Work is expected to be completed in about two to three months. “We have to close it; it’s the right thing to do,” Sammak said. “It’ll be pretty quick.” “I wanted this to be available for the public to hear,” said Councilwoman Lesa Heebner. The issue was pulled from the consent calendar, a list of items approved with a single vote and no discussion. “It’s important that they know that we’re maintaining our infrastructure.” “I really appreciate that we’re being proactive about our infrastructure,” added Mayor David Zito.

Murder, glamour, mystery loom in Playhouse’s ‘Hollywood’ premiere
I
rish-born American actor/director William Desmond Taylor was a popular figure in the early days of the Hollywood motion-picture scene. He directed 59 silent films between 1914 and 1922 and acted in 27 between 1913 and 1915. In 1922, he was murdered inside his

bungalow at the Alvarado Court Apartments in Los Angeles. The murderer was never found and the crime remains a cold case. Perhaps playwright Joe DiPietro’s world premiere of “Hollywood” at the La Jolla Playhouse will shed more light on the mystery. “I’m an old movie buff and growing up, loved movies from the ‘30s, ‘40s and ‘50s,” DiPietro said. “Many are better than most modern movies. The black-and-white photography, the words of dialogue and nature of the dialogue — even under the Hays Code — was stunning in what they were able to do during those early times. That era is really my sweet spot. I’ve always wanted to write something about early Hollywood.” Since the press release announcing the show — production as yet unseen — the Playhouse has extended its run. “That’s quite unusual, but very exciting,” DiPietro said. “In writing the script, I learned that William Desmond Taylor had just walked the actress Mabel Moorman, who was visiting him, to her car. She was the Jennifer Lawrence of her day, a huge star. When he came back to his bungalow someone inside shot and
The poster from the new thriller coming to La Jolla Playhouse killed him. This caused quite a scandal, and was the birth of the modern celebrity scandal. My play is basically a whodunit, combining the history of Hollywood, modern celebrity and the rise of censorship and conservatism in Hollywood.” The play also touches on William Hays, known for creating the Hays Code of censorship in early Hollywood. “Hays was very influential politically and was hired by the studios as a public relations man because Washington wanted to start regulating the movies,” DiPietro said. “As he is trying to figure out the mystery of the murder, he is also trying to clean up Hollywood both onscreen and off.” The cast features seven actors from the

New York Theater, seven or eight returning La Jolla Playhouse actors with Scott Drummond playing Taylor (“Mother Courage and Her Children”); and four students from the UCSD theatre program. DiPietro said he’s also excited about the design team and what awaits the audience. “A great state-of-the-art design team is going all out,” he said. “The costumes fit the era, there will be projections of silent film moments, headlines, and it’s going to be a very modern look at a very glamorous time in the Hollywood district.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Hollywood” runs May 10-June 12 in the Mandell Weiss Theatre at La Jolla Playhouse, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive, UCSD campus.

Art show, fair set for May 14 at Southfair in Del Mar
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KRISTINA HOUCK From paintings to photographs, dozens of local artists are displaying their work in Del Mar beginning next month. Coordinated by local artist Bob Coletti, the display cases at the Herbert B. Turner Gallery at Southfair will feature a variety of pieces from members of the Sargent Art Group, a North County-based art organization. “There will be work from artists from all different styles,” said Coletti, noting that 40 to 50 artists will be represented in the show. “Some photographers, some mixed media, some traditional painters, some watercolor, some oil painters. It’s an open theme, so anything is welcome.” This is the second show at the gallery, continuing the legacy of the late Herbert B. Turner. Turner was a prominent architect, artist and resident of Del Mar. As the builder of Southfair, he intended to provide gallery space for local artists to display and sell their work. His daughter, Rachel Turner Thomas, honored her father’s legacy and continued his tradition by recently providing space for artists to display their art
pieces. The first exhibit of 2016 featured artists from Group7Art, a group Coletti founded in 2011. “It was a good show,” said Coletti, who is coordinating all future exhibits. He plans to rotate exhibits every two to three months. “I love doing this,” added Coletti, whose work will also be on display in the show that opens in May. “I don’t get paid to do this. I do this because I want to help the artists. It’s all to benefit the art community. Someone has to do it.” Sargent Art Group, also known as SAG, was founded by the late Jean McNeil Sargent. Her work will also be included in the event. The group is a partnership of professional and emerging artists and patrons of the arts. Governed by volunteers, the group works together to network, support and encourage artists, as well as protect artists’ rights. “This is all about letting the artists show their work,” Coletti said. “This group shows in different venues around San Diego. They don’t have their own gallery, so it’s a good opportunity for their
artists to come in and show their work and try to sell it, too.” The exhibit will not only feature an art show, but an art fair. As many as six artisans will display their crafts. The artists with their work on display will also provide demonstrations. Additionally, San Diego County Supervisor Dave Roberts will be at the event to present the first place, second place, third place and best of show awards. The opening reception and art fair will take place 1-6 p.m. on May 14. The event is free and open to the public. “There’s going to be a lot of action going on,” Coletti said. “It’s going to be a fun time.” The exhibit will run May 7 through July 7. The Herbert B. Turner Gallery at Southfair is located at 2010 Jimmy Durante Boulevard in Del Mar. “This is a fun spot,” Coletti said. “It’s going to be a great show.” For more about the Sargent Art Group, visit www.sargentartgroup.com.

“Thank God for Jelly” is a short family-friendly movie from the stables of Krown Family Films and also happens to star four actors from Carmel Valley. The movie, slated for filming at the end of April and in May in the northern inland areas of San Diego, is aimed at portraying the importance of showing gratitude and bringing spirituality into the homes. These teaching of values, learned in Sunday schools, can assist in opening discussions at home with their families. Rebeccah is a young girl that set out on a journey with her brother and two of her friends in a bid to thank the maker of what she described as the best jelly she ever tasted. Even in the midst of different challenges on their quest, the kids ensured the aim of their journey was accomplished. Of the 33 cast in the movie, four live in Carmel Valley. All three of the children, and one teen, gave stellar performances in their auditions to portray their respective roles. The actors are Cole Spector, Abigail Kaufer, Harmony Chasson and Laura Abrishamaker. Cole Spector, 10, following in the path of his actor sister, can be described as a “natural” with the innate ability to act. As a fifth grader, he is humorous and loves to play the guitar and soccer, with his dog Winston being his very good companion. Abigail, 12, is looking to get into middle school next year. Starring in her first movie role, she is expectedly excited. She has appeared in several musical theater productions, including Zombified, Joseph and the Amazing Technical Dreamcoat, and You’re a Good Man Charlie Brown with Scripps Performing Arts Academy. She is an acting student of Brooke Byler and Actors Workshop Studios with a passion for animals, hiking, and swimming and of course, acting. Harmony Chasson, 9, has benefited from experience in numerous commercials and
Harmony Chassan print work appearances. She is currently under the tutelage of Brooke Byler, and also enjoys dancing, soccer, and snow skiing. Laura Abrishamkar 15, completes the list with her role as Debbie in the film. She stars as the love interest of Ryan, one of the leads in the film. A student of Canyon Crest Academy, she loves science and math and is also a member of the school’s Speech and Debate Team, winning the regional award for speech. Laura is an acting student of Terry Ross of Acting Professionally and has appeared in several other youth musical theater works. She is an active volunteer and loves to play the piano.

‘Fallen Star’ film coming to ArcLight-La Jolla BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT ow many people does it take to hoist a 70,000-pound artwork onto a seventh-story rooftop? A 50-minute film about Do Ho Suh’s “Fallen Star,” the small house perched Wizard-of-Oz-like on the roof-edge of UCSD’s School of Engineering, will let you see for yourself May 5 when it’s screened at ArcLight Cinemas-La Jolla. “Fallen Star: Finding Home,” co-directed by Vera Brunner-Sung and Valerie Stadler, is about the combined efforts that took the 18th piece in the university’s Stuart Collection from conception and construction at ground-level to its designated spot at a nerve-wracking hundred-foot height. It’s a story of creative collaboration, a coming together of inventive engineering and commitment to art, warmed by the feelings people have for the idea of home. Suh, the Korean-born artist, is the film’s executive producer. In 2007, he submitted two proposals to the Stuart Collection, which commissions contemporary, site-specific sculptures for the campus. He thought his less-complicated “Secret Garden” was more likely to be chosen, and was surprised when the choice was

Inside the “Fallen Star” cottage
“Fallen Star.” His experience of disorientation when he first came to this country inspired the piece, which he envisioned as a homey cottage crashed into a tall, institutional building. But UCSD students, many of whom could relate to the experience, were more enraged by the expense of the project — a million-dollar house that no one could live in at a time of heavy cutbacks on campus — than engaged by its artistry. Their comments, and candid interviews with the collaborators, especially construction supervisor Don Franken, who had no real feeling for art, give added dimension to
asked her to film the event. Sung brought Stadler, an L.A. director-producer, onboard, and the film, a first collaboration for the two that included a crew of 35, turned into a joyful five-year process. “There’s been a tremendous amount of good will and joy around the project,” Stadler said. “People are enchanted by Do Ho’s piece and were excited to be part of the film. It’s been a great experience.” The film’s future journeys are still in the planning stages, but you can share the excitement now at the ArcLight screening. ■ IF YOU GO: Try the Do Ho
the documentary. At the UCSD premiere on April 5, the directors said they found the film’s arc in Franken’s gradual shift of opinion, as he came to acknowledge the overwhelmingly positive reactions people had — and continue to have — to the piece he helped raise. In November 2011, once construction was completed, with everything built to code so the off-kilter cottage could withstand high winds, severe rainstorms and earthquakes, it was time for the house-hoisting. Suh had contacted Brunner-Sung, a filmmaker whose work, like his own, is concerned with the definition of home, and

Artist Gary Cantor to exhibit new work Local artist and art educator Gary Cantor, has completed a new series of Dia de los Muertos prints that will be exhibited for the first time in Del Mar on March 5. Cantor, who founded Cantor Advertising Corp. and then the California Art Institute is a long-time Del Mar resident. His career in art has spanned commercial advertising, art education and creative projects in multiple media from paintings to t-shirts. His latest work is a series of complex computer generated prints in the traditional form of Dia de los Muertos “sugar skulls.” They will be on exhibit for a limited time at Fair Trade Décor, in the heart of Del Mar Village. Skulls, literally made of sugar, have been a traditional offering to the spirits of deceased loved ones in Mexico since the 18th century. Mexican artists compete annually each autumn, making fanciful and very detailed designs of three-dimensional skulls made of sugar and colorful candies. This tradition has since expanded to many other graphical depictions of sugar skulls from tattoos to paintings. Cantor’s series of prints incorporates three-dimensional effects and many symbols from a variety of cultural traditions in a modern take on the traditional Mexican art form. The Gary Cantor, Dia de los Muertos, Opening Event will be held from 6:30-9 p.m. on Thursday, May 5. Space for is limited for this event. Please RSVP by email to epp@fairtradedecor or in person at Fair Trade Décor, 1412 Camino Del Mar, Del Mar, 92014. Call 858-461-1263 for directions.

Hall Private Wealth Advisors celebrates one-year anniversary Although the wealth management firm opened its doors in Solana Beach last April, the firm’s staff members have more than 100 years of combined experience working with a wide range of individuals and businesses, from entrepreneurs raising capital to Fortune 1000 companies managing growth. In fact, Russell Hall, founder, owner and managing director of Hall Private Wealth Advisors, established the firm after 25 years of experience in wealth planning and asset management. “The added level of control for the benefit of our clients has been incredibly refreshing,” Hall said. A New York native, Hall holds a bachelor’s degree in business administration with concentrations in economics and finance from New York-based Alfred University. Hall relocated to San Diego in 1990, when he started his career with PaineWebber, which was later acquired by UBS. He spent 18 years with the company before moving his practice to Morgan Stanley, where he spent an additional seven years. Hall became senior vice president of UBS early in his career, focusing much of his energy on indexing. The process involves

creating investment models and trying to represent various asset classes and sectors using low-cost exchange-traded funds. “That made me feel like I was doing my job,” said Hall, who was consistently ranked in the top tier as senior vice president and later as corporate client group director and senior portfolio management director. “I was efficiently meeting my clients’ objectives.” In 2010, Hall created Connequity, a sales
tool designed to help business professionals better connect with clients. Like a dating service for the business world, Hall described the tool as “eHarmony meets LinkedIn.” With his first startup off the ground, Hall decided to finally start his own firm. “It’s been an amazing journey putting myself in the shoes of an entrepreneur,” he said. With three advisors and seven employees, Hall Private Wealth Advisors has a well-rounded team that fits most clients’ needs. Among the staff is Patrick Maher, the firm’s senior vice president, who has worked as a wealth advisor for nearly four decades. Amanda Rocca, vice president of client experience, has worked in the financial industry for more than 20 years. Natalie Stillman, vice president of financial planning, is also a longtime dedicated and passionate certified financial planner. “We’re surrounded by an amazing team here,” Hall said. “We’ve got unbelievable resources and talent at our fingertips.” With a well-rounded team, the firm is able to serve a variety of clients, from business owners to senior executives. Most of the firm’s clients come from the local
communities of Solana Beach, Del Mar, Carmel Valley and Rancho Santa Fe. “My personal clients tend to be successful entrepreneurs, senior executives and business owners,” explained Hall, who lives in Solana Beach with his wife of nearly 18 years, Amy, their 9-year-old daughter and twin 7-year-old boys. “I also manage money for a number of high-net-worth families where we work with not only the parents, but the children and in some cases, the grandchildren. We collaborate to help families pass wealth to the next generation. We also help educate children on the value of money and try to help them learn about investing.” Hall set out to start his own firm to help bring integrity and transparency to the financial services industry. He also wanted to keep things simple for clients, improving their experience. So instead of a 50-page report like the kind they receive from the big banks, Hall and his team have perfected a one-page snapshot that showcase key metrics from their clients’ portfolios. “That is one way to bring peace of mind to our clients’ financial situation,” he said. “Wealth management can be extremely SEE ANNIVERSARY, B23

Impressionism and Ikebana exhibit to be held at Modesitt studio in SB What does French Impressionism and Ikebana flower arrangements have to do with one another? A lot, says John Modesitt, an internationally-acclaimed artist. In fact, the French Impressionists, particularly Monet, collected Japanese prints, fashioned his famous waterlily pond and bridge in Giverny using his knowledge of Japanese gardening, and had Japanese visitors and collectors. “This is what inspired me to have a exhibit bridging the two worlds, Japanese Ikebana arrangements made by my wife and my impressionist paintings done on location in France”, Modesitt says.
Toshiko Modesitt, John’s wife, is an accomplished ikebana artist. She learned directly from a grand master in the Ohara School. “We have a lot of artistic energy in our family,” says John. “Now, we will hold an exhibit for art lovers to see.” There will be 30 new French Impressionist pieces on display. Some paintings will be accompanied by Toshiko’s arrangements, enhancing the beauty of the artwork. The exhibit will be on view from May 5 to May 8, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the Modesitt studio in Solana Beach. For directions call 858232-8906 or email paintings@sbcglobal.net.

USS Midway speakers present ‘The Fall of Saigon’ at Del Mar Library May 3 Del Mar Library will host speakers Bruce Maxon and Buck Ramsey with the U.S.S. Midway Museum on Tuesday, May 3 at 1:30 p.m. Maxon and Ramsey will talk about the events leading up to the routing of the South Vietnamese Army during the final days of the Vietnam War. As the People’s Army of Vietnam surrounded Saigon, thousands of South Vietnamese fled for their lives to the safety of the United States fleet just off-shore. The U.S.S. Midway received more than 3,000 refugees, many of them one step ahead of certain death, or long terms in re-education camps under the Liberation Armies. Operation Frequent Wind is a story of fear, hope, and sanctuary for those South Vietnamese fortunate enough to escape Saigon during the final days of the Vietnam War. This event is part of San Diego County Library’s celebration of Older Americans Month. The Del Mar Branch Library is located at 1309 Camino Del Mar. For more

Rancho Coastal Humane society to host 'Animal Communicator' — learn to talk with animals Cindy Brody, nationally-renowned Animal Communicator, Reiki Master, author and originator of CinergE, an energetic healing modality that can be applied to all living beings, will be teaching a two- day animal communication class at the Rancho Coastal Humane Society, May 7 and May 8. Brody has been working with CinergE for over 30 years. She lives in the Hudson Valley of New York, and travels all over the country teaching and working with horses, dogs, cats, and the people who love them. She has always been a hands-on person. At the age of 9 she discovered she had energy in her hands. While staying with her grandparents on their farm in northwestern Nebraska, she found that the “heat” in her hands could help tame wild barn kittens. CinergE is a light touch hands on therapy that is easy to learn. It brings the body back into balance, relieving physical and mental stress. The body then heals itself. In her Developing Intuition and Animal Communication clinic, Brody teaches how to tune into the messages animals have to share through photographs. These easy to learn techniques will help people to listen with their hearts and to hear their four-legged family members inner voices. Space is limited, so advance registration is required. The clinic will meet Saturday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. and Sunday 11 a.m.-5 p.m. at the Rancho Coastal Humane Society, 389 Requeza St, Encinitas, 92024. Contact Danielle at (858) 699-7291 to register.

Cheetah Charity Runners seek others to help kids with cancer BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN t age 15, Yuntaisha has gone through more suffering than the average person in a lifetime. She beat leukemia when she was 4, and was diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2013. Yuntaisha’s family doesn’t own a car, and lives a two-and-a-half-hour bus ride away from Rady Children’s Hospital, where she receives treatment. Her mother, La Toya Johnson, said she would have to take three buses and a trolley to get there. The Emilio Nares Foundation (ENF) helps families like Yuntaisha’s. Its program, “Ride with Emilio,” gives children with cancer and their parents rides to the hospital. “To know that the foundation is there to provide that transportation whenever you need it, is amazing … I0 couldn’t ask for anything better,” Johnson said. La Jollans Sheryl and James Sheremita created the Cheetah Charity Runners (CCR) to raise funds for ENF in June 2015. Their first team of 65 runners collected $100,000 by running marathons (26 miles) and half marathons (13 miles). “Each person has a fundraising website and they ask people to fund us while they are training,” Sheryl said. James commented, “It’s very significant and important that we have this local connection. The organization is right here, so we can meet the families and see what’s happening.” The CCR founders are putting together their team for the fall season and need more

volunteers to help their mission. Volunteers get a personalized training plan from the Sheremitas, who are experienced coaches and long-time runners. James won the La Jolla Half Marathon two years in a row (1991 and 1992), among many other national and international races. Sheryl estimates the CCR team will cover more than 80,000 miles this year, at premier destination races that include the Kauai Half Marathon on Sept. 4, 2016, and the Dublin Marathon on Oct. 30, 2016. The fall team will start training in June. To register, volunteers pay a $50 registration fee. There is a minimum fundraising goal of $750 to attend the marathons. “Some people cover the $750 themselves, and others raise all the money,” Sheryl said. “I have seen people raise up to 10,000 in a single event.” James called the experience “a complete package.” “If you just train for a race event, it’s just about you. And if you are fundraising for a cause, but there are no activities involved, you might feel like something is missing. And combining both, that’s creating an energy that’s very powerful, motivational and emotional,” he said. Runners of all levels are invited to participate in the program. Diane Nares, co-founder of ENF, said she was a first-time runner when she joined the team last summer. After four months of training, she was able to complete her first half marathon (Big Sur, November 2015). “They take people from the couch to

It was very transformational for me to be able to push myself to go to that level and be inspired by the other runners,” Nares said. Nares’ son, Emilio, died in 2000 of leukemia at age 6. Two years after Emilio passed away, Nares and her husband, Richard, founded ENF to help other children with cancer. “We started getting calls from workers at the oncology unit who said there were families who needed support with transportation,” Nares said. The Nares started out with Richard giving rides in his own car. Today, they have two vans in San Diego and one more in Imperial County, and they’ve provided more than
30,000 rides over the years. The nonprofit also has other services for children and families. It has a fund to pay for funerals, or to support parents who stop working during their children’s last months of life, should it come to that. The Johnson family has been using the “Ride With Emilio” services for more than 10 years. ENF also brought Yuntaisha and her siblings to watch the horse races and bought her a guitar for Christmas. “If I could have two words to describe ENF, they would be ‘blessing’ and ‘amazing,’” mom Johnson said. ■ IF YOU VOLUNTEER: Training starts in June for the fall season.

Spring Cleaning Maintenance Tips for Your Vehicle: Prepare Your Car for El Niño As spring approaches, you need to look over your vehicle to determine any maintenance that needs to be performed before hitting the open road. Winter weather, even in a sunny place like San Diego, can wreak havoc on your vehicle. It’s a good reminder to take a look at the inner workings of your car and make sure
there aren’t any maintenance problems that have emerged over the last couple of months. The battery, tires, suspension, brakes and severe weather can all have an influence on your vehicle’s performance. Read on and implement the following tips to protect your vehicle this spring. Headlamps and Running Lights Ensure that your lights are always working so you can turn on the headlamps ASAP in the event of heavy rain. Check Your Tires Any type of cold weather can influence your tire pressure, so make sure that everything is properly balanced and inflated. Low tire pressure and worn out treads can cause unnecessary problems on the road, so checking your tire pressure and your treads regularly should become a habit not just in springtime but year-round. Plugs, Wires and Batteries
All of these elements have an important role in your vehicle, and they can be put under stress during the winter months. If you replace old (three years or more) and weak batteries now, you could save yourself money down the road, especially if you have to get towed. Brakes It’s always a good idea to check your brake system at least once a year. Take a look at your brake fluid, lines, hoses, and parking brake to ensure that they are all at the proper levels. You can ask your mechanic to take a look at any wear and tear during your oil change, too. Fluid Levels There are many things to check with regard to your fluid levels, but you should not ignore any of them. Look at brake fluid, anti-freeze transmission fluid, engine oil and even your windshield washer fluid.
Air Filters When you are getting your brakes, transmission fluid or oil changed, make sure that your engine air filter is up to date and clean. Wheel Alignment and Suspension Any time you hit a major pothole, this can do significant damage to your struts and shocks. Making sure that you schedule an inspection to deal with leaks or serious wear can alleviate bigger issues down the road. Belts and Hoses Look for cracked or worn belts as well as any hoses that are too soft, brittle or blistered. Anything older than five years may need to be replaced. For additional tips, advice or legal help, contact us at 858-551-2090 or visit our website at https://seriousaccidents.com/.

William Moyers to discuss addiction recovery FROM JFS REPORTS Addiction crosses all socioeconomic strata, from the affluent and career professionals to the unemployed and homeless, it does not discriminate. To shed light on the issue and in honor of Mental Health Awareness Month, a Jewish Family Service of San Diego’s (JFS) luncheon will feature William Cope Moyers discussing his personal struggles with addiction and his journey in overcoming the disease, 11:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Monday, May 23 at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla, 3777 La Jolla Village Drive. Moyers, son of veteran broadcaster and former White House Press Secretary Bill Moyers, went from a life of privilege to one of powerless addiction to alcohol and crack cocaine. It would have ended his life if his family had not intervened. Moyers shared his gritty accounts of substance use and recovery in his best-selling memoir, “Broken: My Story of Addiction and Redemption,” and continued his dedication to break down the walls of denial that surround addicts with “Now What? An Insider’s Guide to Addiction and Recovery.” His story stuns, inspires and shines a bright light on how addiction is a powerful illness and recovery is a lifelong pursuit – one that requires the whole family and community to recover together. As the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation’s vice president of public affairs, Moyers leads

the organization’s policy and advocacy activities, and has appeared on “Larry King Live,” “Good Morning America” and “Oprah.” The JFS’s luncheon supports its goal to remove the stigma of mental illness and provide beneficial services and educational events to the community.

Keyboard Connections
Athenaeum music series to celebrate the piano FROM ATHENAEUM REPORTS “The sparkling mistress of keyboard and talk,” Jacquelyne Silver, returns to the Athenaeum Music & Arts Library with a new four-evening series that connects ideas in the arts — poetry with music, art with music, musical ideas that merge, and composers who play off each other. The series is set for 7:30 p.m., Thursdays, May 5, 12, 19 and 26 at 1008 Wall St. ■ May 5: Hear the story of the piano, from its humble birth and its rise to becoming the favorite instrument of kings, classical virtuosos, jazz players and living rooms all over the world. Silver will lead guests through the music of Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Gershwin, Joplin and more, as the voice of the incomparable piano displays its grand versatility from thundering “louds” to whispering “softs.” ■ May 12: Silver was born in St. Louis on the Mississippi River and steeped in the lore of blues, ragtime and early jazz as a child. Her father played ragtime on the riverboat clubs that grew up along the path between New Orleans northward. She will discuss and play blues, jazz and ragtime, showing their paths of connection by focusing on works by W.C. Handy, Clarence “Pine Top” Smith, Louis Moreau Gottschalk, Scott Joplin, Jelly Roll Morton, “Fats” Waller, Duke Ellington, Benny Goodman and jazz innovator Bill Evans. ■ May 19: Silver will sweep you away on a musical carpet to connect composers who you’d never think to combine. Did Frederic Chopin inspire “The Phantom of the Opera?” Did Wolfgang Mozart dictate “The Pajama Game?” Did Johannes Brahms write parts of “Brigadoon?” Explore the music of the romantic Schumanns, Clara and her beloved Robert; were his melodies really hers? Did Felix Mendelssohn use his sister Fanny’s compositions as the basis for his works? ■ May 26: Silver will be joined by baritone Walter Ritter for a dialogue of insights and musical highlights. Their repertoire will include the music of Mozart, Brahms, Schubert and Beethoven, along with a segment of Broadway songs. —Individual programs are $17 members/$22 non-members; series tickets are $60 members/$80 non-members at (858) 454-5872 or ljathenaeum.org

“Jasper Lagoon” by Carmel Valley’s Silvia Vassileva.
ArtWalk in Little Italy to feature Carmel Valley artists Mission Federal ArtWalk on Saturday, April 30 and Sunday, May 1 will fill 17 blocks in San Diego’s Little Italy neighborhood with 350 artists from all over, including Carmel Valley artists Sue Britt and Silvia Vassileva. The event is the largest fine art festival in Southern California and San Diego’s premier arts and cultural event. The free two-day festival will have live visual art performances, live music, art activities for kids and kids at heart, street food and many other attractions. Sue Britt, a 13-year resident of San Diego, is a paper tapestry artist who works and shows her art in Spanish Village in Balboa Park. Britt draws inspiration for her work from the hiking she does both locally and around the west—places like Los Penasquitos Canyon, Gonzales Canyon, Mission Trails, Torrey Pines State Park and Blue Sky Reserve are
daily reminders of the wonders of Southern California. National Parks also play a part in her inspiration. In 2014 she had a three week art residency at the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Death Valley and the super bloom this spring inspired several new pieces that will be at Mission Federal Art Walk. “I weave paper because I see the world as a tapestry - plaited with rich color, layered with stories of nature’s cycles, laced together by time,” Britt said. “As I sketch and weave I often discover intersections and connections between my own life and the landscapes I am trying to capture - the rise and fall of rivers with the seasons, the fire cycle of Southern California, the erosion of cliffs to the sea.” This is her third year of participating in Mission Federal Art Walk.
Silvia Vassileva epitomizes the famous phrase “joie de vivre,” or “joy of life.” The free and bold style of her paintings reflects her vivacious personality and boundless energy. Her paintings are expressions of life, captured on the canvas for all to see and enjoy. They make an emotional connection with the consumers and she has become one of the leading contemporary artists in the decorative art market. “When I paint I enjoy the feeling of absolute freedom and abandon, which do not exist in the reality outside of the canvass. My goal is to take the viewer through the whole process- from the reality through its transformation in my mind, through the expression of my own feelings, to the new reality,” Vassileva said. “To me fine art is about feeling, about senses, about our soul and sensitivity.”
Vassileva took her first art class when she was twelve years old in her native Bulgaria. From that time she knew where her destiny would lead and she never wavered. She pursued her love of art at the Academy of Fine Art in Sofia, where she attained her bachelor’s and master’s degrees. Then she spent six years painting and exhibiting her work in Japan, before moving to California where she has lived since 1996. Currently her original artwork is represented in several galleries and her prints are published and distributed worldwide by Wild Apple Graphics. Her paintings are part of the permanent collections of galleries, corporate buildings and residencies worldwide. The event runs 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on April 30-May 1.

Tribute to Prince with a ‘rain’ of purple foods
P
rince, the iconic pop star, who transcended generations with his electrifying performances has now saddened and shocked millions of fans by his untimely death. I’d like to pay homage to this Purple Rain vegan innovator with an A-list of purple foods that have rocked the culinary world. These jewel-hued beauties have a mother lode of phytonutrients called anthocyanins, which endow them with their brilliant colors, along with an antioxidant oomph to boost the immune system, temper inflammation, keep many cancers at bay, and protect cells from free radical damage. So purple up!
The Garden Egg
Eggplant is beloved throughout the lands from the exquisite “aubergine” central to many French dishes to Persian “badnjan,” the base for savory stews and dips. The eggplant is a true botanical berry rich in dietary fiber, calcium, folic acid, body balancing potassium, vitamins B1, B6 and bioflavonoids to put the skids on high blood pressure and stress. The nightshade is also rife with a potent antioxidant called nasunin that protects against
cellular damage. Where possible, leave the eggplant unpeeled as the glossy purple skin has the greatest source of nutrients.
Quirky Carrots
Carrots come in designer shades of “Purple Haze” and “Atomic Red,” their original hue when they were first cultivated in Afghanistan 5,000 years ago. Dutch growers in the 16th century tinkered with mutant purple, yellow and white strains to produce the traditional orange carrot. Embrace the purple pigmented root that has less carb and sugar content than its orange sibling, and an abundance of beta-carotene, Vitamin A and anthocyanins that ratchet up memory and vision, provide cardio-vascular protection, and help control inflammation and weight gain. Shred these violet gems in coleslaw (recipe below), green salads, taboulis and risottos. Roast with a drizzle of olive oil and Meyer lemon juice. Toss in your morning smoothie or crunch on them straight up with hummus or yoghurt dip.

Have you ever tasted the new purple carrots? rather than bitter notes to a variety of dishes, especially desserts and confections, along with breads, pastas, pizzas, soups and sides. The bright violet stripes or blotches surrounding the uniformly sized cloves are attributed to the rich store of anthocyanins that wards off assorted bacteria, viruses, and even the odd creature of the night.
Purple Potatoes
These vibrant tubers once considered food for the gods have dark purple skins with flesh of varying nuances from violet to lavender. Native to Peru, these spirited
Plump, juicy grapes in royal jewel tones of purples and reds are loaded with iron, fiber, folate, anti-inflammatory quercetin to reduce the risk of heart disease, lutein to boost ocular health, and bioflavonoids that pack a powerful anti-cancer punch. Grape skin, in particular, a bountiful source of resveratrol synonymous with wine has been found to weaken enzymes that stimulate cancer cell growth. Resveratrol has also been linked to longevity by the activation of three anti-aging genes.
Recipe: Shredded Purple Carrot Salad
This simple purple carrot slaw bursting with brilliant colors, flavors and flavonoids, is fit for a divine relish, side dish or topping fit for a king or “prince.” ■ Ingredients • 3 cups purple carrots, shredded • 1 shallot, diced • 2 tablespoons olive oil • 2 tablespoons Meyer lemon juice • 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard • 1 handful Italian parsley, chopped ■ Method: In a glass bowl, whisk together oil, juice, mustard, shallots, parsley and spices.

Most clients come to Hall Private Wealth Advisors by word-of-mouth. And new clients have found the firm over the past year because of its exceptional customer experience. “We have bandwidth. We have capacity. And we have scale,” Hall said. “We make every effort to deliver on the things that we can control, which are service and response times, as well as the investment choices that we make. I think that sets us apart.” Hall Private Wealth Advisors is located at 462 Stevens Avenue, Suite 105, in Solana Beach.

complicated, and generally, when I find things to be complicated, there’s something wrong. So I try to keep it simple.” As a boutique firm, Hall Private Wealth Advisors also offers reduced fees and flexibility. Using a hybrid model, Hall Private Wealth Advisors serves as a registered investment advisor (RIA), yet clients also have the ability to transact through the firm’s brokered dealer. “I feel like we have the best of both worlds with the hybrid offering that we have,” Hall said. “It gives us the ability to hold positions that might be more passive and not charge a fee on them. We only charge for business that we manage. We might oversee positions and advise on them, but it doesn’t mean we need to charge a fee on them.”
Art Guild to hold Mother’s Day Event: Weekend Art, Garden & Studio Tour The San Dieguito Art Guild, a nonprofit guild, hosts the 2016 Mother’s Day Weekend Art, Garden & Studio Tour. This is a self-guided, driving tour on Saturday and Sunday, Mother’s Day weekend, May 7 and 8, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. each day. Tickets are good for both days and homes may be re-visited. Take your mom or best friends on a leisurely tour of the eight North County homes where you can peek into an assortment of fascinating artists’ studios, peruse more then 30 exhibits of locally made art, and relax in each unique coastal garden. Artists from the San Dieguito Art Guild will be positioned in the gardens — showing and selling their paintings, ceramics, glass, gourd art, fiber arts, photography, jewelry, and much more. Free refreshments will be served at every stop. The tour includes an eclectic group of homes, gardens and art studios from Encinitas to South Carlsbad. Step into the “Old World” to view a home with tromp
L’oeil paintings that grace ceilings and walls giving a French provincial atmosphere. View the amazing outdoor kitchen, dining and living room, wisteria covered arbor, and lovely terraced slope. Walk into a living room at another home and you’d swear the walls were stone cut blocks like a European castle. Actually, it’s the homeowner’s faux textured painted walls. This two-day event is the major fundraiser of the year for the San Dieguito Art Guild. Without funds from this tour the Guild would operate at a loss. Tickets are $25 per person and may be purchased at the Off Track Gallery (937 South Coast Highway 101, Suite C-103, Encinitas), at OffTrackGallery.com, or at each home both days of the tour. Children 17 and under are free. This is a favorite tour of many San Diegans — many of whom take this tour year after year.
