CV board urges One Paseo DMUSD will not plan keep moving forward proceed with Board doesn’t want project ‘stuck’ due to conflict of interests

Local student launches SLAM ALS campaign. A9

Lifestyle

BY KAREN BILLING The new One Paseo project may have to skip the San Diego Planning Commission and go straight to City Council for approval due to four of the seven commissioners having conflicts of interest. The mixed-use project on El Camino Real and Del Mar Heights Road had been slated to go before the commission on April 21 and, according to Council President Sherri Lightner, city staff has been exploring all

possible avenues to see if the commission could still hear the project. Lightner said it’s “unprecedented” that a project as highly contentious as One Paseo would not go through the planning commission process, especially in absence of clear direction from the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board, who split its vote on the project with a list of conditions in January.

bond proposal

BY KAREN BILLING Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) will not move forward with putting on a bond for its facilities needs on the November ballot after a survey showed just a bare majority believes that the district has a significant need for funding. The board met for a special meeting on May 2 to hear the results of the bond survey conducted by Fairbanks, Maslin, Maullin, Metz (FM3) and Associates. Based on potential ballot language for a $135 million bond, 57 percent said they would vote “yes” (36 percent definitely “yes,” 21 probably “yes”) with 10 percent of the undecided “leaning ‘yes.’” “Including that 10 percent you are well clear of the 55 percent required threshold but you’re relying on some people who aren’t very confident about it,” said Adam Sonenshein, a researcher with FM3. “A district-wide bond measure is viable for the plan but with the requirement that you do community outreach.” About half of those surveyed saw at least “some need” for additional funding with only 11 percent saying there is a great need. Sonenshein said support for the measure is directly linked with the perception of the district’s need for funding. DMUSD Trustee Scott Wooden was concerned that the numbers were not stronger and maybe a little weaker than the survey they did before their last bond — in 2012 the district’s bond fell short with 53 percent support.

Initiative won’t make 2016 Del Mar ballot BY KRISTINA HOUCK This November Del Mar voters won’t be asked to approve a one-cent sales tax increase to help cover the costs of undergrounding utilities throughout the city. Although the City Council on May 2 did not officially vote on the matter, they decided to continue studying the potential measure rather than place it on the ballot this year. “This is an important community discussion and we ought to take the time and get it right,” Councilman Don Mosier said. “I think this is moving too fast.” The city’s Finance Committee originally presented the proposal during a presentation to the council in April. A one-cent sales tax increase would generate an estimated $2 million in annual revenue that could help cover the cost of the undergrounding project, which is expected to cost between $25 million and $30 million, according to committee members.

CCA Principal selected as Superintendent at Coronado Unified School District Karl Mueller, principal of Canyon Crest Academy (CCA), has been selected as the Superintendent of Coronado Unified School District, effective July 1, 2016. Mueller is CCA’s third principal, following founding principal David Jaffe, 2004-2007, and Brian Kohn, 2007-2013. A portion of the communication Principal Mueller sent CCA students and parents follows: “Raven Students and Parents, “After three proud years of service to the staff and student body at Canyon Crest Academy, I have made the difficult decision to assume a new challenge next year as the superintendent of Coronado Unified School District. “Words cannot express how overwhelmed I have been by your dedication to our school, as well as by your kindness, support, and Raven pride. I will always cherish my time here. I truly value all that each of you has provided me with, including guidance, friendship, wisdom, and patience. “What I will miss the most about CCA is the culture—the connection between faculty and our students, the respect we share, the trusting and inclusive environment where children feel the confidence to be themselves, and the strong pride in our community that made coming to work each day purposeful. “I would like to honor the amazing team of educators at CCA whose dedication and

Karl Mueller contributions to the culture of our school and health of our students have led to our incredible achievement. Most importantly, I’d like to thank our students for always modeling curiosity and creativity—I have thoroughly enjoyed this time with you. “With humble gratitude, Karl Mueller” In the coming days, Superintendent Rick Schmitt will work with San Dieguito Union High School District Board President Beth Hergesheimer to develop a plan to replace Mueller as the Principal of Canyon Crest Academy. — Submitted press release

What’s in Your Water?

DMUSD teachers to receive salary boost BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District and Del Mar California Teachers Association (DMCTA) have reached an agreement in their collective bargaining negotiations, resulting in a 3 percent retroactive salary increase for this year and a 2 percent raise for the next school year. According to Jason Romero, assistant superintendent of human resources, the district and the negotiating team from the DMCTA entered “good faith” interest-based bargaining process on March 29 and came to a memorandum of understanding related to compensation. As it is a full contract year, Romero said negotiating teams are still meeting to address other contract issues but for the sake of salary, the district and DMCTA wanted to move forward with compensation — the increase in salary schedules for 2015-16 and 2016-17, an increase to the master stipend from $1,755 to $2,500, and a one-time $500 bonus. The board approved the memorandum of understanding unanimously at the April 27 meeting. The board will adopt the full contract at a future meeting, DMUSD Board member Darren Gretler said when considering this item he wanted to assure the board was being responsible to the taxpayers of the district and the district budget.

“I believe that this is responsive and responsible to the taxpayers and the district budget and it’s also responsive and responsible for the teachers. We want the best schools, we have the best teachers and staff anywhere and this will keep us competitive,” Gretler said. “And we’re being responsible and responsive to students and parents because we’re looking to retain and attract the best along the way… All the way around this is a win.” The current year 2015-16 compensation increase is $905,461, which represents the 3 percent increase, $500 performance compensation and benefits. For 2016-17, the 2 percent increase represents $453,200 and the increase to the master stipend amounts to $125,607. Cathy Birks, assistant superintendent of business services, said the Educator Effectiveness Grant will be used to offset existing expenditures with a total net decrease to the current year fund balance of $664,709. With property tax revenue to help support the district, Birks said that they would be able to maintain their 3 percent reserve level required by the state — she is projecting to have a reserve of $10.1 million, equal to19 percent, for 2016-17. “The district has been diligent in maintaining fiscal solvency and attending SEE TEACHERS, A25

Del Mar reconstructs slope, replaces utilities BY KRISTINA HOUCK Months after El Niño rains drenched the region and damaged a bluff in Del Mar, the city has completely reconstructed the slope, which supports a busy roadway. “This has been an incredible project — one of the most difficult projects I’ve ever been a part of because there’s no easy way to get to the bottom of the canyon,” said the city’s Public Works Director Eric Minicilli. “You can’t just drive a truck down there. You have to literally go down this huge slope at a very sharp angle.” Heavy rains on Jan. 7 caused a section of Anderson Canyon to slough off, creating a landslide and damaging a portion of Camino del Mar, which runs north and south along the coast. While the roadway remained intact, the impacted area was immediately adjacent to the western edge of the pavement. A storm drain and utility lines that run under the roadway were damaged during the storms. The City Council on Jan. 19 declared a local emergency, allowing the city to hire contractors without having to go through the standard bid process, which City Manager Scott Huth explained at the time could delay repairs and extend the road closure. There are two northbound lanes and one southbound lane in the area. Due to safety concerns, the city immediately closed the southbound lane on Camino del Mar, between Carmel Valley Road and Del Mar Heights Road, following the incident. Crews eventually converted the two northbound lanes into one lane going in each direction. “We’ve had the same traffic control since about a week after the incident,” Minicilli said. “We haven’t noticed very much obstruction at all to the traffic circulation there. We’re not seeing big delays due to the work.” Del Mar hired Southland Paving, an Escondido-based contractor that Minicilli said the city has worked with in the past. SEE DEL MAR SLOPE, A25

Long-awaited Coast View Park opens to the public in Torrey Hills BY KAREN BILLING Coast View Park is now open for playing, picnicking and to simply enjoy Torrey Hills’ ocean breezes. At a little over an acre in size the new public park sits in between Ocean Air Apartments and Torrey Gardens on East Ocean Air Drive. After a lengthy process, the fences officially came down around the new park on May 3. “We’re just so pleased to be here and we’re very proud about what we were able to create,” said Dee Snow, regional director of Garden Communities, the developer of the Torrey Gardens complex. To complete the project, Garden Communities hired landscape architect David Neault Associates and she was thrilled with how much they were able to do within the

small space. “It really is very, very carefully designed and it’s a beautiful site, hence the name Coast View,” Snow said, noting they also received support from the Torrey Hills Community Planning Board. In Neault’s estimation, the view can’t be beat — thanks to a clear sound wall, the views out to the bluffs and Torrey Pines State Beach are maintained. As a nod to the view, Neault stayed close to an ocean-theme with nautical climbing and play equipment complete with seahorse and fish spring riders under a shade structure that resembles a ship’s sails. “We had a lot of fun,” Neault said of the design process. The playground includes swings, slides and climbing nets and a mix of sand and soft rubber mat surface. SEE COAST VIEW PARK, A25

CV planning board honors departing members BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board said goodbye to three dedicated board members on April 27 with the departure of Chris Moore, Anne Harvey and Victor Manoushakian. Supervisor Dave Roberts and City Council President Sherri Lightner both honored the board members with proclamations and kind words. “You’ve done yeoman’s work over the years and I know the community can’t thank you enough,” Roberts said. “A community is only as good as the people in that community want to make it.” Harvey, a board member for 20 years, came clutching an “ancient” community plan and papers that had yellowed with age. Harvey is as much of a fixture in this community as the native plants in the open space she fought so hard to protect over the years, going as far as “standing in front of bulldozers” on Carmel Mountain. Del Mar Mesa planning board member Lisa Ross said Del Mar Mesa wouldn’t be what it is today without Anne’s efforts. Carmel Valley board member Ken Farinsky said even when he joined the board for his first term over 10 years ago, Harvey was considered one of the “old timers” even then. He said the board would miss her institutional memory. “Thank you for that time and service and creating the community we have now,” Farinsky said. Harvey left the board with some directions to continue on the path she blazed. “We made a lot of compromises with developers, ‘You can have this but we get to

Supervisor Dave Roberts honored departing board members Anne Harvey, Chris Moore and Victor Manoushakian. have this.’ We split the baby and it was painful,” Harvey said. “ I want you guys to really guard what we say. Don’t let them try to split the baby again.” Manoushakian has been on the board for nearly as long as Harvey and has taken care of the business interests in the community. He has been the owner of Highlands Jewelers in Piazza Carmel for 27 years and said it was a “beautiful” honor to have served on the board.

“We went through a lot over the last several years but I’m proud and happy to be a part of this community,” Manoushakian said. Moore has been on the board since 2011, thoughtfully representing the concerns of his neighbors and bringing environmental expertise. He thanked CV planning board Chair Frisco White for his leadership and his fellow board members who are doing a “fantastic job”

serving Carmel Valley, “It’s been a great pleasure to be involved in this board and be able to contribute back to our community,” Moore said. “It’s been a great experience.” Moore will continue to chair the board’s Livability Committee, tasked with finding solutions for park improvements and transportation-related livability and safety issues in the community.

Del Mar’s planning director found calling at early age

BY KRISTINA HOUCK A landscape architect for nearly three decades, Kathleen Garcia brought years of experience to Del Mar when she signed on as the city’s planning and community development director in 2010. “I thought it would be an excellent challenge and something that I would learn a lot from, which it surely has been,” Garcia said with a smile during in an interview in April, which was National Landscape Architecture Month. “I had a lot of skills that I could bring,” she added. “This was a city that was ready to implement a lot of things. It had a lot of things that had been on the backburner.” As Del Mar’s planning and community development director, Garcia oversees current and advanced planning, code enforcement, the building department and the Clean Water program. “Pretty much everything in Del Mar touches planning, which is good,” said Garcia, who lives in a more than 100-year-old historic house in North Park, San Diego. “You’re never bored.” Of all the projects she’s led and collaborated on in the city, Garcia’s proudest of the planned civic center complex, which includes an 8,722-square-foot city hall, 3,172-square-foot town hall and 15,000-square-foot public plaza.

Demolition of the city’s current facilities at 1050 Camino del Mar is expected to start in June — three years after the city initiated the project. “Having a great space for this community to use and be proud of and have as their own — I think it’s going to be a really nice gift to the city,” Garcia said. “As much as I can shepherd it through, I will continue. It’s evolved quite a lot, but we spent our time and went slowly.” Nothing could happen without her dedicated team, however. Although Del Mar is the smallest city in San Diego County, its staff is one of the busiest. Still, there are only eight people in the planning department, including Garcia, and a couple others under contract. The department currently has so many projects that Garcia has to hire another staff member. “I enjoy seeing our staff shine,” Garcia, 60, said. “I think it’s really cool to see their growth. This is a great group of people. People really love Del Mar and really want to do great things.” A California native, Garcia came to San Diego in 1988. She grew up in San Francisco, where she went to an all-girls’ Catholic high school. Garcia realized her calling at a young age. Although some high school students have trouble selecting their school and field of

study, by her senior year, Garcia was sure she wanted to attend the University of California, Berkeley, and study landscape architecture. “I had a lot of interest in design, but also in the environment,” Garcia said. “My favorite classes in high school were art and biology. I was looking for something that combined the two. I found landscape architecture as just being a combination of both. “I never once questioned it,” she added. “It was funny to be 18 and find your calling.” A protective nun, however, wouldn’t send her transcripts to Berkeley, fearful of sending the young student to the big campus in the 1970s. “They didn’t quite think I could handle Berkeley, which made me even more determined to go to

Berkeley,” Garcia said. She went to San Francisco State for her first year of college and then transferred after pleading her case to the chair of the school. Garcia went on to earn her bachelor’s degree in landscape architecture from UC Berkeley, followed by a master’s in landscape architecture from Harvard University. After college, Garcia started her career as a landscape architect at Benjamin Thompson & Associates in Boston for about a year, and then returned to California to work at Perry Burr & Associates for a couple years. In 1985, just three years after completing her master’s degree, Garcia joined Roberts & Todd LLC, a nationally recognized planning and design firm, where she worked for more than 25 years. Garcia became a principal with the firm in 1998. She also served as director of the firm’s San Diego office for more than 20 years. Her professional work focused on public sector projects, including planning for urban communities, civic spaces, educational institutions, parks, open spaces and waterfronts — all with a commitment to sustainability. A 10-year project with the city of Santa Monica, which resulted in the award-winning designs of Palisades Park and South Beach, was one of the highlights of her career. “It was really exciting to see an older park become revitalized,”

Garcia remembered. “That was one of the most exciting projects. It won a lot of awards. It was very nice to be recognized for that.” Her work in San Diego included planning for the East Mesa of Balboa Park, Mission Bay Park and Torrey Pines City Park, as well as an open space plan for the city of Carlsbad, a park master plan for the city of Santee, and multiple projects on school and university campuses, including Cathedral Catholic High School, UC San Diego and Scripps Institution of Oceanography. “All these projects were really a team effort,” Garcia said. “We always had a great strong team.” Although always quick to recognize her colleagues, Garcia is also never afraid to lead. Garcia served on the San Diego Planning Commission for eight years. She served on the UC Riverside Design Review Board and San Diego’s Old Town Design Review Board. A LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) accredited professional, Garcia also served as a board director on the state chapter of the American Planning Association, the Landscape Architecture Foundation and the Southeastern Economic Development Corporation. Additionally, she has been a lecturer at UCSD. “You can’t beat this beautiful place to work,” Garcia said.

Former mayor’s book tells Del Mar’s story BY KRISTINA HOUCK As Del Mar’s only five-time mayor, Tom Pearson knows much more than a thing or two about the county’s smallest city. In fact, many of the stories in his nearly 500-page book, “Exceptional Fortitude,” take place in Del Mar. Thanks to the Del Mar Historical Society, readers can now more easily learn about the history of the city when reading the book as the organization had its high school intern create an index for all proper nouns, from local places to notable people’s names. Canyon Crest Academy sophomore Jim Luo and Pearson finally had the opportunity to meet recently after the completion of the months-long project. “It’s pretty interesting to meet Tom and see how he is now, after reading about all he’s accomplished all his life,” said 15-year-old Luo, a Carmel Valley resident who previously lived in Del Mar. Written in chronological order, the book covers Pearson’s life from his childhood days in Maine to his adult life in Del Mar. It follows his diagnosis with polio as a young adult, his graduation from MIT and

“I’m starting to read it again,” said 89-year-old Pearson. “There’s so much stories. My goodness! I’m so happy to have found it again. I’m still happy to talk about the stories.” Del Mar also became a city in 1959. The book touches on that and every decade thereafter in Del Mar, covering the first 50 years of cityhood. “Tom’s been meaning to write a book for 15, 20 years,” explained Antonio Dupont, a local computer

consultant who met Pearson in 2006 after helping someone else write a book. Despite losing nearly all of his photos and records in a fire, Pearson had collected and written about 600 newspaper clippings detailing the history of Del Mar, but needed help assembling them into a book. As a volunteer, Dupont agreed to help with the project. About two months after the pair started working together, however, Pearson suffered a stroke. “I saw him in the hospital, and I promised that we’d finish it,” Dupont said. For four years, they worked together as much as possible whenever they could, anywhere from one to two hours per week, to 10-15 hours per week. Pearson self-published “Exceptional Fortitude: The Life of Tom B. Pearson” in 2010. “His story needed to be told,” Dupont said. “He’s accomplished a lot of things and had a lot of good life stories. There’s a lot of good life lessons to learn.” For more about the book or to purchase a copy, visit tombpearson.com.

Local doc’s book takes the scary out of child’s checkups BY KAREN BILLING r. Chrystal de Freitas of Carmel Valley Pediatrics has used her expertise in the field to write her first children’s book, hoping to ease the anxieties and cure the uncertainties both children and parents have about their yearly visits to the doctor. Her book, “Jake’s Kindergarten Checkup” was published in January. “This book is based off of a scenario I’ve witnessed many times as a pediatrician: the natural nervousness accompanying the idea of vaccines, a buildup of anxiety, and finally the conquering of that fear and the empathy of siblings shining through,” Dr. de Freitas said. Kids are able to learn more about their visits to the doctor through the story of Jake, who goes to see Dr. Dee with his sister Chloe in tow. In promoting her book, Dr. de Freitas said she has found a new passion doing readings. She had always enjoyed reading aloud to her three now-adult children when they were growing up and the kids she reads to now are naturally drawn to the reader in the white coat armed with fun doctor’s gadgets like an otoscope. At a reading at the Rancho Penasquitos Library last week, children inched closer and closer to “Dr. Chrystal” as she read, engaged

in the words. When she finished reading, she let the children use her stethoscope to listen to their hearts. “I listened to my heart!” one little girl exclaimed. “It was dancing!” Dr. de Freitas has been a physician for 34 years. She has been in San Diego since 1999, coming from Ann Arbor, Mich., where she had a private practice for 11 years. Prior to that she and her husband, Dr. Jeff Bonadio, trained at University of Washington in Seattle. “My father was a physician and my mother ran an orphanage so there just was no option,” de Freitas said of her career path. “I was genetically endowed to be a pediatrician.”

In addition to running Carmel Valley Pediatrics, her practice on High Bluff Drive she opened in 2004, she also is a health educator. Through her company Healthy Chats, she does health education seminars on complicated topics such as puberty at local hospitals and online. In 1998 she published a book titled “Keys to your Child’s Healthy Sexuality” but she had always wanted to write a children’s book. “I had it on my bucket list and decided this was the time to do it,” de Freitas said. With the book, de Freitas takes difficult topics for children and simplifies them to make them easier

to understand. Through Jake, children are taken along through a checkup — getting their ears checked, the doctor listening to the “lub dub” sound of their hearts and the most dreaded shots. “All children hate vaccines, this is a way to explain what is happening,” de Freitas. In the back of the book, there is a guide for parents to prep for checkups and relieve some of that pre-visit anxiety. de Freitas teamed with illustrator Tammie Lyon for the book. Lyon captured de Freitas in her vision of Dr. Dee and even drew the other characters in the book to look like her staff in Carmel Valley.

de Freitas hopes that “Jake’s Kindergarten Checkup” will be a part of a program called Reach Out and Read, a non-profit organization that promotes early literacy into pediatric practice. She would love to see her book help concur checkup fears at doctors’ offices nationwide. “I hope that this book would be a gift pediatricians can give their patients,” de Freitas said. “Jake’s Kindergarten Checkup” is available for purchase from Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com.

Solana Pacific student launches SLAM ALS campaign Solana Pacific Elementary School fifth grader Cole Spector helped launch SLAM ALS, a national campaign to slam the door on ALS forever at a school-wide assembly on May 2. The SLAM ALS campaign seeks to get people to post videos to social media showing how they would slam the disease, to raise awareness and to encourage others to make donations to Project ALS to fund research and hopefully find a cure. Cole’s cousin and aunt, Madison and Deborah Silver, created SLAM ALS and it is the family’s hope that the campaign takes off like the Ice Bucket Challenge, with participants all over the world. Finding a cure for ALS is a mission close to Cole’s heart as his aunt Marjie Block has been fighting ALS for seven years. His entire family has been committed to finding a cure and in total they have raised about $150,000. “Each and every day she battles this disease. She fights to walk on her own, to keep talking and to independently do so many things we all take for granted,” Cole said. “My aunt has taught me the value of having a positive attitude and to never, ever give up.” Cole got help during the assembly from teacher Kelly Monahan, who has an uncle fighting ALS. ALS, better known as Lou Gehrig’s

Cole showed a video to students about Lou Gehrig, the famous New York Yankee known as “The Iron Horse” who was forced to retire due to the disease and died two years later at the age of 37. “Imagine losing your ability to walk, to eat, to speak, to move, to breathe but your brain remains fully alert,” Cole said. “That is what ALS does to you.” Cole encouraged his school and the community to be “SLAMbassadors” by getting

creative and making their own videos and posting them starting May 9 with the hashtag #SlamALS and the website SlamALS.org. They can then challenge at least three friends to post their own videos by saying “You have 24 hours to SLAM ALS!” The campaign already has celebrity participants with a Miami Heat player slamming a basketball, tennis player Chris Evert is going to slam a tennis ball with her racket, tap dancer Tommy Tune is going to slam his tap shoes to the floor and

Broadway star Kristin Chenoweth is going to slam a high “C.” Cole made his own video of himself, slamming a soccer ball into a net, knocking it down to the grass. On Monday, he led the school in everyone stomping one foot to the floor at once, a Solana Pacific SLAM. Another way to support the cause is to buy SLAM socks from AreYouKidding.net; a portion of the proceeds goes to Project ALS. For more information, visit slamALS.org.

Local resident’s book shares valuable investment insights BY KAREN BILLING Local resident Bud Leedom hopes to give investors an edge with his new book “Supply and Demand Investing: Spotting Imbalances to Find Wall Street’s Biggest Winners.” Available as ofMay 3, the book details a process that allows investors to unlock the power of supply and demand to analyze stocks. Specialized charts in the book provide insight on how the large investors, such as Fidelity, Putnam and Janus, of the mutual fund world are trading in stocks. Leedom, a former Wall Street analyst and president of Leedom Asset Management, moved to Rancho Santa Fe in 2013. While studying astronomy at San Diego State University, Leedom set upon a course that changes the way investors analyze stocks. “The core of the book was developed all the way back in 1992 and I’ve used it throughout my investment career,” Leedom said. Leedom got his start sharing his investment knowledge in 1992, publishing a monthly financial letter called The San Diego Stock Report, which developed a large following. He became a Wall Street analyst for Wells Fargo Securities, covering many different industries and founded Leedom Asset Management in 2007, an investment management firm for individuals and institutions. The preface of “Supply and Demand Investing” opens on Leedom’s days as a novice investor in the 1980s where he would eagerly await the delivery each night of William O’Neil’s

Daily Graphs, a book of stock charts updating each day’s closing price quote. He tried to determine patterns and learned several hard lessons of the market before eventually creating his process detailed in the book. “This whole process has really only been available to large institutions and investors but this book brings the process to light for individual investors,” Leedom said. “For the first time, investors can see stocks in a supply and demand light. The process looks at supply and demand equations and tries to find imbalances.” Leedom said his process allows investors to see information in real time, a “behind the scenes” look at where significant buying or selling is occurring. “It really allows individual investors for the first time to see what the big guys are doing,” Leedom said. That transparency, Leedom said, is a powerful tool to have. The book will also have a companion website, lsicharts.com. “LSI” is a term that goes back nearly 25 years, standing for Leedom Strength Indicator. On the website, users will be able to type in any company and access information about it. Leedom said he looks forward to bringing the LSI investment process and patterns to life for investors as the “key to finding the next big winners in the stock market.” Leedom has been working on the book for nearly nine years and it wasn’t until he moved to Rancho Santa Fe that he was really able to

As an amateur writer, Leedom said he went through quite the learning process, using Amazon’s CreateSpace to edit and publish his book. An admittedly harsh critic of himself, he was pleasantly surprised when he received his first copies of the book and found that it had exceeded all of his expectations. The book is dedicated to his family, especially his wife, Vali, who was always asking him, “Are you ever going to be done?” “After such a long process, I just feel a different energy,” Leedom said. “I’m happy to be checking a very big box with the completion of this book.” The book is available for purchase on Amazon.com.

Carmel Valley author José Unpingco, PhD, has completed his second book on using the open-source Python language for scientific computing — “Python for Probability, Statistics, and Machine Learning,” published by Springer. The text is geared towards advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students in data sciences looking to connect theoretical concepts to concrete implementations. Connections between the three areas are illustrated using via worked examples using analytical methods backed by detailed Python codes. Unpingco received his PhD from UCSD and spent 20 years working for the Department of Defense as an engineer, scientist and technical director. As a consultant and lecturer, he has trained over 600 scientists and engineers nationwide on scientific and parallel Python. The book is available on Amazon.com and from the SpringerLink on-line catalog at major universities.

100 new moms build 1,000 therapeutic Teddy Bears

an Diego Mothers of Preschoolers (MOPS) will pay it forward by spreading love and healing to mothers across America who have lost a child by building 1,000 therapeutic Comfort Cub teddy bears on May 5. The mothers will gather at the North Coast Church at 2405 N. Santa Fe Avenue in Vista from 9:15 until 10:30 a.m. to assemble the bears for delivery before Mother’s Day. MOPS member Gracie Del Mar will never forget her beautiful daughter Jocelyn. When Jocelyn died shortly after birth, Del Mar received a weighted therapeutic teddy bear called The Comfort Cub from her hospital. “I was so grateful to have something to hold after losing my child. It brought comfort to my arms during the worst time in my life” Del Mar said. “When my MOPS group was looking for a service project to do in honor of Mother’s Day, I immediately thought of The Comfort Cub because it was so helpful and reassuring to me.”

Marcella Johnson and Susan Heck with a resolution from California State Senator Patricia Bates, declaring April 11 (Johnson’s son George’s birthday) as Comfort Cub Day in San Diego. Invented by San Diego mom, Marcella Johnson, after the loss of her son caused her to have physical chest pains, The Comfort Cub was designed to help women who were suffering from the same “Broken Heart Syndrome” that Johnson experienced. Little was known about this disease when Marcella lost her son, George, 17 years ago. Today, Broken Heart Syndrome is becoming better understood as more baby

boomers lose their spouses and develop symptoms that resemble cardiac distress. Recent articles in TIME magazine and the Wall Street Journal have called attention to the physical symptoms that are experienced with a broken heart. The Comfort Cub has been clinically proven through a study done by San Diego Hospice to reduce the physical manifestations of grief and other causes of extreme stress. The Comfort Cub is available at every hospital in San Diego through onsite social workers and nursing teams. An ongoing effort is underway to have the Comfort Cubs available and is expanding to top hospitals across the USA such as the Mayo Clinic, Mass General Dana Farber and UCLA. It is intended to help a mother heal after the loss of a child of any age. “With the help of all of these caring San Diego moms we will be able to heal a lot of broken hearts in time for Mother’s Day,” Johnson said.

A life-threatening accident could have kept surfer Joey Converse from ever walking again. As he dove under a breaking wave last summer, it drove him right into the sand, breaking his neck. Lucky for Joey, he was rescued by two off-duty EMTs and taken to Scripps where an expert trauma team gave him a second chance at life. After two spine surgeries and extensive physical therapy, he was able to walk again — down the aisle as best man at his brother’s wedding. Stories like Joey’s show why Scripps has been named one of the Top 15 Health Systems in the Nation by Truven Health Analytics — the only health system in Southern California to make the Top 15 list this year. To learn more about Joey, and how he is celebrating his recovery, go to Scripps.org/JoeyConverse.

The Bishop's School recently welcomed 29 new members to the Cum Laude Society. team, to the Bishop’s Singers, to track. She also praised her fellow classmates for continuously engaging in meaningful dialogue, pushing boundaries and serving as leaders in the School community. “I’m proud of my classmates,” said Tara “But I’m not proud because we’ve captained varsity sports teams and gotten into top 10 universities and excelled in academic competitions. I’m proud because we’ve questioned and challenged and helped and learned.” In Alfonso’s speech, he spoke about how his formative years at Bishop’s

and college at Stanford prepared him for a successful career in global management consulting. In explaining the career path he took to becoming a partner, he encouraged the students to build bridges, set goals and go after their dreams. “I believe that the power and potential that you, young, talented bright and hungry leaders have to make a positive impact on the world is unparalleled,” said Alfonso. “Your families, your teachers, your coaches, your friends and your very own drive have prepared you for this transition.”

Dine out in May to help feed children living in poverty Throughout the month of May, San Diego County restaurants are joining together to support the annual “Dollar-A-Dish” campaign benefiting the San Diego Food Bank’s Food 4 Kids Backpack Program. Participating restaurants select one best-selling, signature dish and donate $1 to the program every time that dish is sold. The Food 4 Kids Backpack Program provides weekend backpacks filled with food to elementary school children living in poverty. Children in the program participate in the free school breakfast and lunch programs at their schools during the week, but face hunger over the weekend when free school meals are unavailable. The program currently serves 1,630 children at 35 elementary schools in 11 school districts throughout San Diego County. “We are very grateful to the restaurants who are supporting the program again this year through the ‘Dollar-A-Dish’ campaign,” said Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank CEO James Floros. “This fundraiser will help us feed more children this coming school year. The Food Bank provides critical support to so many elementary school children in San Diego County who would otherwise go hungry if we were not able to give them weekend backpacks full of food every Friday afternoon. We encourage patrons to order the nominated dishes at participating restaurants.” Participating local restaurants and their featured dish include: Cucina Enoteca Del Mar, 2730 Via de la Valle, Del Mar: Lunchtime pizzas Sushi Lounge, 461 Santa Fe Dr., Encinitas: Give Back Roll URBN Coal Fired Pizza, 764 S. Coast Highway, Encinitas: Chef’s Weekly Pie Puesto, 1026 Wall St., La Jolla: Frozen horchata For more restaurants visit sandiegofoodbank.org/dollar.

OUR READERS WRITE Frequent Miramar flyovers pose risks to Carmel Valley residents and schools The Miramar website shows that a large percentage of flights are currently routed over Carmel Valley residents and schools. Ten or more flyovers per day are typical amounting to several thousand a year. These aircraft can crash, and our neighborhood and schools are at risk due to the sheer volume of flights passing overhead. In 2008, a Miramar jet crashed in University City destroying two homes, damaging a third and killing three residents. In 2013, a Miramar pilot crashed into a home in Imperial, Calif. After the crash in University City, residents demanded change and Miramar rerouted many of their flyovers over Carmel Valley instead. Fortunately, there are many alternates to flying over Carmel Valley, including passing over Torrey Pines reserve that would lessen the risks to residential areas and prevent deaths. Representatives at Miramar and in the Mayor’s office recommend that Carmel Valley residents call Miramar at 858-577-4277 and Congressman Scott Peters at 858-455-5550 to ask for a reduction in flights over our neighborhood. We should take action to change the flight paths now rather than waiting to see whether the next crash happens in Carmel Valley. Kevin Clewley, Carmel Valley

SFID rate proposal flaws Joe Tash’s April 28 article on the April Santa Fe Irrigation (SFID) District board meeting correctly made readers aware of concerns of two of five SFID Board members: flawed rate study assumptions. The Draft 2017 Budget noted “less than normal availability of cheaper, local water due to the drought.” The 2016 Cost of Service Study (COSS) grossly over-estimated available

local water — 3,151-acre feet (AF). SFID now states 800 AF local water available FY16 and FY17, resulting in significantly reduced revenue due to increased water supply costs – buying imported water to sell at local water costs. The 2016 COSS separated costs of local water from imported water; the first two COSS blended costs of local and imported water. “The local water supply in Lake Hodges is not always reliable due to drought and hydrological conditions” — Jan. 2006 COSS. When the consultant decided to not blend local and imported water supply costs when setting tier 1 and tier 2 rates, that decision, rejecting their previous COSS methods, set this district on a path of dire financial consequences when their local water projections proved gravely inaccurate. If three board members vote in the rate increase, starting June 1, all tier 1 water supply will be charged at .74/HCF, local water supply cost, but the actual cost to the district to provide that water will be 2.75/HCF for imported water. Tier 2 water supply will be charged at 1.00/HCF; however, with no local water available, the district must provide imported water for 2.75/HCF. Tiers 3 and 4 are not affected, since the COSS anticipated supplying imported water for those tiers. My estimate of the combined cost escalation for FY16 and FY17, due to only 800 AF of local water available when 3151 AF of local water were assumed, is a supply cost increase of $2,921,381. Another concern is the “doubling down” with the proposal to reduce tier 1 and tier 2 rates. Fifty HCF billed today are $174.90; after June 1, if three board members vote to approve these rates, 50 HCF will be billed $147.31 - but will only bring the district $78.66 in revenue, due to the cost escalation of $68.65 necessitated by purchasing imported water for tiers 1 and 2, when the COSS assumed low cost local water availability. I have mailed my written protest. Exercise your prudent judgment and direct the SFID board to go back to the drawing board. District customers

deserve a rate proposal not based on the “El Nino of 2016” that wasn’t, but on sound financial principles that you don’t sell tier 1 and 2 water for .74/1.00 that costs the district 2.75 to purchase. Marlene E. King, SFID Director, Div. 3

What makes a country’s great leaders? In 1880 my great grandparents crossed the ocean to America with dreams for a life of success. They knew their chances for success were good because America’s founding documents promoted personal freedoms by limiting its government to certain specific powers. Since then, power-hungry leaders in America have overstepped their boundaries, and the People’s dreams of success have long been fading because government is so big and costly that it must take more and more of the hard-earned money from even children yet to be born. Every four years, we citizens have a chance to elect new leaders—men and women who have the courage to stand up to a government that disregards the limits of the founding documents. So what makes a country’s great leader? A desire to serve country over self, while supporting the founding documents; A winning personality of modesty, maturity, good manners and clear, honest communication; An outstanding and upright American, who dignifies their office and respects the people’s right to know their past history—from legal to financial to political to business dealings; A positive, eloquent speaker who inspires the People to fulfill their dreams of success. On June 7, California has the chance to elect leaders of character, who have histories of actions aimed at preserving the People’s rights and freedoms within a limited government.

Noah Forougi, Ryan Benirschke FROM METERS, A1 them from actual parking meters. Posted signs inform donors about beneficiaries. “I think that kindness is something that we can always have and share,” said Carlton Lund, a Carlsbad resident and founder of the Kindness Meter Project. With more than 200,000 such meters worldwide, Lund brought the concept to North San Diego County. There are now eight Kindness Meters throughout North County. In less than a year, the meters have collected about $7,000 for various charities, including the Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation, Carlsbad Charitable Foundation, Carlsbad Educational Foundation and the Moonlight Cultural Foundation. The meters accept coins — up to $68 in change — and

credit cards. Lund said donations locally have ranged from 25 cents to $1,000. At the request of Deputy Mayor Peter Zahn, the proposal was presented to the council. “Thanks for your spirit and pioneering this throughout the county,” Zahn said to Lund. “It can help underserved people in our community,” he added. “It also engages young people and older people in philanthropy and in giving. That’s really valuable because that can stay with people for the rest of their lives if they get in the habit.” As a North County neighbor, Lund offered to provide the meters and pay for the installation. “I do this as a citizen of North County,” he said. “That’s it.” “It’s a nice gesture,” Councilwoman Lesa Heebner

Blake Arnold, Matt Hadley, Blake Djavaherian, Miles Loef, Paul Zimmer said. “I like the concept of it, if it were bright and could be placed somewhere that has a lot of traffic.” When asked about the possibility of crime, Lund said the 80-pound portable meters are fairly heavy but could be installed permanently. “It’s pretty indestructible,” he said. “It’s been pretty flawless.” Still, City Manager Greg Wade said the meters could potentially be stolen. “The mobile ones I’m sure are subject to theft,” he said. The look of the meter, however, was one of the council’s leading concerns. “Does it have to look like that?” Councilman Mike Nichols asked. “I like the idea,” Nichols said. “The concept of kindness, you can’t argue with that. You can’t have too much kindness in this world. “I am not necessarily a fan

of the way it looks,” he added. “If there is a way to make it look better I’d be very interested in seeing that because it just looks like a parking meter. I think that can be confusing, especially if it’s adjacent to where people park.” Not ready to move forward with a vote at the moment, Nichols said he didn’t want to see the meters installed at city parks. “I think it’s kind of tacky the way it looks,” he said. “It would have to be kind of special looking to make me lean towards it.” Mayor David Zito agreed. “It’s not the most attractive thing in the world but I think with the right touch it could probably be made a little bit more appealing and fit well within the character of the community,” he said. “You want it to stand out but you also want it to blend in.”

With a 4-1 vote, the council asked staff to return with alternative proposals for how to proceed with a process to place one or two meters around the community and select beneficiaries. “I can support your concept of trying to explore it further,” Nichols said. “I’m on the fence, so hopefully we get some good examples of this. … Right now it’s kind of iffy, but I’m willing to continue the conversation.” “Kindness is great,” said Councilwoman Ginger Marshall, who cast the sole dissenting vote. “I really don’t believe it’s government’s job to teach children how to be kind. I think that’s their parents’ responsibility. “I don’t like the idea of this on public property,” she added. “It just looks like the city’s getting into being a 501c3 or charitable organization.”

FROM TEACHERS, A2 to the highest priorities with responsible decision making that supports the actions that are identified through our strategic plan process,” Birks said. DMUSD Board member Scott Wooden expressed his concerns about the negotiations process. “I’m glad that the negotiations went well and we got a two-year contract but I like to see that we don’t do retroactive because it really throws our budget out of whack,” Wooden said. “Now we’re going to have a millon-dollar deficit in the budget for this year and I know that we can pay for it, there is the funds in here, but it does effect our ability to go through with facilities projects in the future.” Wooden said he would like to see the district use as much of its money out of the budget toward facilities as it can. He noted that the district had a $1.3 million increase in expenditures this year, which is the same as its capital outlay, and it has $2 million just in certificated salaries over the course of two years, which would be a “nice chunk” in a facilities budget. DMUSD President Doug Rafner acknowledged the district is in the midst of exploring other sources for facilities, such as a potential bond measure on the November 2016 ballot. Wooden also expressed his concerns about the district’s reserve level dropping every year. “We used to have a 35 percent reserve and now we’ll be under 20 after this is done,” Wooden said. “We do need to be fiscally responsible with what we do in the future. This is at the higher end of where I’d like to see it, I know we can afford it, I’ll reluctantly approve it but I would like to see things not retroactive so for negotiations the following year we can see what the impact it really is on the budget.”

people,” said Kathryn Burton, chair of the Torrey Hills planning group. “It appeals to a wide aspect of residents in the community and we appreciate that it is public so everyone is welcome. It adds some extra space for everyone.” The park can be accessed by a main entrance from East Ocean Air and each neighboring community, Ocean Air and Torrey Gardens, has their own entrances via ramps and stairways. “There’s a need for passive park space that’s just for relaxing in and enjoying,” Burton said. “It’s a perfect addition to the community and I’m really happy about it.”

Beyond a grassy area, barbecue pits and picnic tables are clustered together toward the back of the park, with benches under a pretty yellow trellis.

The city plans to add seeds and plants to the slope so it looks more natural, Minicilli noted.

about the project, which totals about $1.1 million for the city of Del Mar. “The storm drain line was certainly damaged during the landslide. All the other utilities were all exposed. They were basically left hanging in the air when the landslide occurred, so we had to disconnect them, reroute them and now we’re in the process of putting them back,” he explained. “So there are several utilities that didn’t break, but they were wide open and unsupported. You could see them hanging under the roadway.” When that part of the project is

completed, other impacted agencies, including the city of San Diego, Southern California Edison and AT&T, will return to the site to replace their damaged utilities. “They deal with very sensitive materials,” Minicilli said. “It could be several weeks.” City staff expects the third-party utility work to be completed in early June. Once the work is completed, the city’s contractor will return to the site to resurface the roadway and remove the existing traffic detour. “It’s been a very big project in a very short amount of time,” Minicilli said.

FROM DMUSD , A1 “I’m worried that it looks very similar to what it was last time and without the public saying we have a need for facilities, I think it’s going to be a difficult task,” Wooden said. “We have three schools that have significant needs but not the other five, so it’s going to be very hard to convince people.” Calls were made during April 7-21 and 255 people took part in the survey, with a 6.1 percent margin of error. Sonenshein said voters in the district have very positive feelings about the district — 87 percent believe that DMUSD is considered among the best. When asked how they would rate how the district is doing, 38 percent said the district was doing an excellent job, 34 percent said it was doing a good job, but 20 percent said they didn’t know. Sonenshein said that 20 percent is a little higher number than they typically see and reflects members of the district who don’t have children in the schools and who will need more communication about what the district is doing and its needs. The amount of the bond didn’t seem to have that much of an effect on people but there was some sensitivity to the tax rate and how it would cost their household, Sonenshein said. When they lowered the tax rate, the support levels went up: a $29.25 yearly cost garnered 51 percent “yes” and a $19.25 tax rate received 57 percent “yes.” Adam Bauer, a consultant with Fieldman, Rolapp and Associates, said that the November timeline would be “tight” to do the kind of outreach and communication they would need to do, especially if there is a strong opposition group. “There will likely be negative arguments that could be a challenge. If people already don’t recognize that you have a need and someone is in the paper saying you don’t have a need that could be difficult,” Bauer said. “I think you have a path to be successful but I think you expose yourself to some risks.” Trustee Erica Halpern said it’s almost like

the district is a “victim of its own success.” They are seeing the district is doing a good job and that the schools look good from the outside — it’s harder to convince them that they have needs, she said. As DMUSD Superintendent Holly McClurg said, when people drive up to school they aren’t seeing a crumbling campus with paint chipping away but they also don’t see the 25-year-old portables in the back, where campuses were never really completed. DMUSD President Doug Rafner said their schools look great as they have been doing improvements in small increments, “We’re bailing water as it comes in but pretty soon it’s going to flood.” The challenge is in how to communicate that with district voters, he said. The survey did also test a School Facilities Improvement District measure, a $85 million bond for upgrades at the district’s oldest schools of Del Mar Hills, Del Mar Heights and Carmel Del Mar. Only voters who live within the SFID for those schools would vote and pay for the bond. The SFID got less support than the district-wide bond with 33 percent voting definitely “yes,” 21 percent probably “yes” and 5 percent undecided but leaning “yes.” The next opportunity for DMUSD to consider a bond would be in June 2018. At this time, the board seemed to be in favor of a “longer term play,” starting to communicate with the public now and possibly do another survey later to determine if the time is right. “What I’m hearing is a continued, very concerted work at communication, working with our community to inform them we have needs for facilities and very limited funds. I’ve also heard that the funds that we do have, we need to be prioritizing as we have been,” McClurg said. “I think that a plan moving forward over the next year or two years is important. We will be in very close contact with the community so they truly understand that we do have facilities needs and how schools are funded because we don’t receive special funding for facilities.”

Candidates to speak, mingle at RSF Democratic Club meeting Ten or more local Democratic candidates on the June 7 primary ballot will speak and mingle with the audience at the May 12 meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Democratic Club. Candidates will sit at tables in the audience, returning to their seats after they speak to engage audience members who want to meet them up close – ask questions, express concerns, or volunteer support. Confirmed participants include: Supervisor Dave Roberts, 49th District Congressional candidate Doug Applegate, and San Diego mayoral candidate Ed Harris – plus three candidates for San Diego City Council and four

FROM PASEO, A1 “It’s critical that we follow the processes in place to ensure proper review,” Lightner said. Lightner said while it is her preference that they find a way for it to go to the planning commission first, if the city finds that is not an option, they will docket it for the next available City Council meeting date. At its April 27 board meeting, the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board discussed sending a letter to the City Council expressing its support on moving forward on One Paseo rather than seeing it get “stuck.” As currently four of the seven commissioners have a conflict of interest on One Paseo, they would have to recuse from a vote. With only three commissioners remaining, there would not be enough members to take

action, White explained. Two of the commissioners, Doug Austin and Susan Peerson, recused themselves from the vote in 2014. Newly appointed commissioner Bill Hofman has a conflict of interest as he has been a land use consultant for Kilroy for many years, according to Jamas Gwilliam, senior vice president of Kilroy. Gwilliam said that Kilroy was informed by the San Diego Ethics Commission that one commissioner who had voted on the project previously, Anthony Wagner, cited a personal conflict. “Unfortunately no one knew that this could happen and we’re just trying to get some support to move it forward,” White said. “We need to get an up or down on this project, let’s move forward…We’ve been hearing it for six or seven or

eight years.” As part of the letter in support of moving forward, the board will also request the city hold a special hearing for One Paseo rather than it just being an agenda item as it will be the only way the public can participate and be heard. “If the City Council does hear it, it needs to ensure adequate time to discuss it because often times they have fairly abbreviated discussions where the planning commission has a longer time to talk about it,” CV Planning Board member Ken Farinsky said, wanting to ensure all community members who show up have an opportunity to speak. Another advocate for moving forward was Bob Fuchs, a staunch opponent of One Paseo for the last seven years. Fuchs was part of the group that sued the developer, resulting in a settlement agreement for a smaller One Paseo that cut the traffic impact in half. “From the time of the settlement, the developer has acted in a much more cooperative and community-friendly way,” Fuchs said. “Here’s a case where the developer is actually working hard to work with the community within certain constraints and they’re being faced with delays…Let’s not let this thing drag on.” The new 1.2 million-square-foot One Paseo represents a 58 percent reduction in the office element from the original project, down to 280,000 square feet; and the retail represents a 62 percent reduction, down to 95,000 square feet. The 608 residential units remain the same. The land on Del Mar Heights and El Camino Real is entitled to 510,000 square feet of office space.

NORTH COAST - MAY 5, 2016 - PAGE A27

FROM INITIATIVE, A1 The community has long identified undergrounding utility poles as a top priority, but the last undergrounding project along a portion of Camino del Mar was completed almost four years ago. At the request of council liaisons Deputy Mayor Terry Sinnott and Councilman Al Corti, the committee began researching a long-term project about a year ago. In February, the council approved a $25,000 study to better estimate the costs of a citywide undergrounding project. While the study by Utility Specialists Southwest, Inc. is due late May, a preliminary estimate from the consultant is about $36 million. “You don’t have your report back, so we don’t have facts,” said Bud Emerson, a member of the Finance Committee. “We don’t know how much this is going to cost.” Several cities in San Diego County have local sales taxes. The cities of El Cajon and Vista have a 50 percent sales tax, La Mesa has a .75 percent sales tax, and National City has a 1 percent sales tax rate. The city of Chula Vista is also currently considering a half-cent sales tax for the November ballot. “The logic of the sales tax is that it’s a fair share tax,” Emerson said. “Most people in Del Mar are not paying the sales tax. Most of the sales tax is covered by people who are visiting here, which has some virtue.” Del Mar resident Greg Glassman, owner of the local restaurant Zel’s Del Mar and a member of the city’s Business Support Advisory Committee, said he is against raising taxes. Small businesses, he said, are still trying to figure out how to meet the state’s mandate to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour by 2022. “It’s almost like a double whammy,” he said. Additionally, undergrounding would only benefit some in the community, he said, while the tax increase would be a burden to others. “It might benefit the people whose views are improved,” he said. When the Finance Committee initially made its presentation to the council in April, some council members supported moving forward with the proposal, but others said

the community could reject the measure because voters will be asked to approve another sales tax hike in November. The San Diego Association of Governments has proposed a half-cent regional sales tax increase to fund various projects. “Everyone else is trying to grab our dollar,” said Del Mar resident Bill Michalsky. “Why don’t we grab some of it for ourselves? … I think I’d rather have us take the money than SANDAG.” Acknowledging that timing is an issue, Emerson cautioned council members before they made their decision. “This is a crowded election. There’s a lot of noise,” Emerson said. “SANDAG has already aroused some anti-tax voices. “Once it loses, it’s a long time before it can recover,” he added. “I think timing and outreach are critical parts of the decision that you guys make as the leaders in the community.” Though the tax was initially proposed as a way to help finance the undergrounding project, city staff suggested that the sales tax increase could also help fund other projects, making the measure easier to pass. If the proposed tax increase is tied to a specific purpose, such as the undergrounding project, it would require a two-thirds vote of the council and a two-thirds majority of the voters. A general purpose tax, however, would require a two-thirds vote of the council and only a simple majority of the voters, or 50 percent plus one voter. Other projects could include implementing the Del Mar Shore Park master plan; improving Camino del Mar pedestrian and streetscapes; expanding and improving public walkways, trails, view vistas, parklands and open space; expanding recreational services; adding or improving tennis, pickleball and basketball courts and senior programs; replacing older public buildings; and adding a lifeguard tower and restroom facility at North Beach. “We have a number of projects in the community plan, and the sales tax, if implemented, could do wonders in terms of helping bring us along in that,” Assistant City Manager Mark Delin said. With SANDAG’s measure on the ballot, Councilman Don Mosier supported delaying the matter. “The idea of collecting an extra $2 million a year is, of

course, attractive,” Mosier said. “As an ultimate goal, I think it is a worthwhile goal. “I have significant concerns that this is the wrong ballot to put this tax increase on,” he added. “We already know there’s a lot of opposition to the half-percent proposed TransNet tax increase. My guess, at the moment, is that that tax increase will fail. If we have a 1 percent or a half-percent Del Mar tax on the ballot at the same time, I think it will be collateral damage.” In addition to the other ballot measure, Mosier and his colleagues, Mayor Sherryl Parks and Councilman Dwight Worden, said city staff members currently have a full schedule, from overseeing the upcoming construction of the new civic center complex to drafting an ordinance for short-term rentals in the community. They also agreed that the city needs time to build community consensus on the matter, and residents need opportunities to discuss the issue and determine the city’s top priorities. “I’d like to slow this down and lighten it up for the staff,” Parks said. “We shouldn’t do this unless we’re prepared to make a full 100 percent effort to see it succeed, and I don’t see that happening between now and November,” said Worden, noting that such efforts include a committee, community outreach program, advertising and more. Only Corti was in favor of moving forward with the proposal. Sinnott was absent from the meeting. “I’m in support of putting a sales tax in Del Mar and doing it as a general fund, and then determining with the public at the right time with vetting as to where to spend the money,” said Corti, adding that the Finance Committee was tasked with researching revenue-generating ideas for the city two years ago. “Every election there’s a crowded ballot issue,” Corti said. “I’ve not seen an election in the last 10 years where there’s not some TransNet, county tax, pension reserve fund tax, whatever it is. I believe that the fuse is going to run and we’re not going to be able to capitalize on it. We’ll be funding trolley rides in Chula Vista, and not necessarily undergrounding or Shores or whatever we want in Del Mar.”

Angels Foster Family Network exec aims to find home for kids ‘Fostering Futures’ fundraising event set for May 20 BY KRISTINA HOUCK Jeff Wiemann knows firsthand what it’s like to care for a child in need. Not long after serving as a foster father himself, Wiemann took the helm at Angels Foster Family Network in 2013. “I have a very unique perspective on what it’s like to be a foster parent and so when I came in here, it made me focus on everything that we could do for the foster parents,” Wiemann said. The San Diego-based nonprofit organization has long been known for the support it provides its foster families, but Wiemann wanted to do even more. Since Wiemann became executive director, Angels Foster Family Network has hired former foster parents. And when the licensed foster family agency outgrew its former location — the agency has grown from 11 people to 15 staff members — Wiemann looked for a new home that had a large space for family visits. “Fostering’s not easy. Fostering’s not for everyone,” Wiemann said. “But a lot more people would foster if they knew that there was an agency like Angels that supports them every step of the way.” In July 2013, Wiemann and his wife became a certified foster family through Angels Foster Family Network. The couple have four children of their own but wanted more. “My wife and I wanted to have more, but of course, at some point, age takes over,” he said. “So we figured, ‘Let’s see how we can give back to the community.’” Within about a week after completing their training, they picked up their foster son from Polinsky Children’s Center in San Diego. The 6-week-old boy was dressed in two onesies and strapped into a car seat. He was cold. “He looked in shock,” Wiemann recalled. “He didn’t cry, he didn’t coo, he didn’t do anything, for really, the first two to three weeks. That’s because of all the trauma that he had been through in the first six weeks of his life and then just the trauma of coming into care. “But after that time, he opened up and started smiling and started crying, which we’re celebrating because that meant he felt

Jeff Wiemann with his family. safe.” Although the infant only spent four-and-a-half months with the family, it forever changed their lives. “As a family, it brought us closer together,” said Wiemann. “It was amazing to see our children accept another child as their own without question and love on him as a sibling.” At the time, his oldest daughter was 11. Now, she is almost 14 years old. His 7-year-old twins — one boy and one girl — are now almost 11. His youngest son was 2 years old and is now 5. “Everybody was impacted in a positive way,” Wiemann said. “They go through the emotions and the loss, but you’ve taught them how to love somebody else and how to give back and to care. We’d do it again and again and again and again.” The family has also become very close with their foster son’s family. Wiemann has served as a mentor to the boy’s biological father, who has been in and out of prison. When the boy was in the Wiemann family’s care, they maintained contact with him. He called his son twice every day. The Wiemanns also played a recorded message with his voice from a stuffed bear for the boy every night. “Because we taught that child how to

bond with us and how to bond with his dad — that’s a gift that child’s going to have the rest of his life,” Wiemann said. The boy, who will soon be 3 years old, has since been reunified with his grandmother, who is going through the process to adopt him. “He’s thriving,” Wiemann said with a big smile. “He’s a little rambunctious toddler, which is great.” About the time the Wiemann family was preparing to transfer their foster son back to his family, Wiemann learned that Angels Foster Family Network was looking for an executive director to help them transition from a founder-led organization to one led by a professional staff and governed by an independent board of directors. “It’s all about timing,” Wiemann reflected. “It’s all about being in the right spot at the right time because if our foster son would not have been reunified with his grandmother, I couldn’t work here. So it was that timing, this timing and just everything aligned. “What better than to have one of your foster parents come in and run the organization?” Prior to his work with Angels, Wiemann, 48, focused his efforts on providing strategic leadership and management advisory services as an independent consultant. His

industry experience included the Department of Defense, Department of Homeland Security, state and local government, corporate security, emergency preparedness and response, risk management, software, technology and education. Before he created his consulting practice, Wiemann served as the chief executive officer of the San Diego/Imperial Counties Chapter of the American Red Cross. He also previously served as the deputy chief of business operations for the San Diego Unified School District, as well as chief operating officer of Network Insight, vice president of program and events for the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, and the executive director of Fleet Week San Diego. Wiemann, who holds a bachelor’s degree in systems engineering from the United States Naval Academy and a master’s in executive leadership from the University of San Diego, also served as a naval officer for eight years. Since signing on as executive director of Angels Foster Family Network in 2013, Wiemann has helped grow the organization, nearly doubling its annual budget to $2.35 million and increasing the number of children and families it serves each year. Before Wiemann came on board, Angels had about 50 children in its care. Now, the organization has 65. Angels previously had roughly 50 families. Now, the organization has more than 80. “We’ve grown and that’s great, but it’s sad because the need is so great,” Wiemann said. “We’ve got many more families, but the challenge is we don’t have enough families.” Last year, the organization turned away 150 children. “That’s 150 kids that didn’t get the high-quality homes that we have,” Wiemann said. “The difference in our homes is that our parents from the beginning make the commitment to the stability of care of that child until otherwise decided by the court or the county. In traditional foster care, a family can put in a notice at any time. That’s very sad that they can do that. It’s also really damaging on the kids, because what we find is that, especially kids 5 and younger, they’ll bounce from home to home to home.” Currently, there are about 3,500 children in the San Diego County foster care system, nearly 1,400 of whom are younger than 5 years old. “I think, generally, people know about SEE FOSTER, B18

Kids need annual eye screenings, says Optometry Cabana Doctor When Dr. Tania Stevens at Optometry Cabana was designing her Del Mar modern optometry clinic and style eyewear boutique four years ago, she wanted it to be a place children would enjoy coming to. The cabana-style, at-the-beach décor is a lot of fun. The store’s location right across from the dancing water fountain in the Del Mar Highlands Town Center is a natural draw for kids. The clinic even offers a play area for small children. Motivating Dr. Stevens’ desire to create a welcoming place for kids and their families is a serious concern for children’s ocular health. “It is very important for parents to have their children’s eyes checked once a year,” Stevens said, “even if the child is not experiencing a vision problem.” Numerous hidden eye conditions should be screened for annually. “A child is never too young for an eye exam,” the doctor said. Of course, Optometry Cabana welcomes people of all ages. The store’s broad selection of designer brands has something for all ages and tastes, including Mykita, Anne et Valentin, Oakley, Ray-Ban, Maui Jim, Persol, Coach, Tiffany, Prada, Christian Dior and many more. But Stevens especially has a soft spot for kids. “I love working with children,” the doctor said. “Most of our families find their way into our store a few times each year for adjustments or repairs or a new pair of eyeglasses. I know many of our kids by name. I love watching them grow up.” Dr. Stevens acquired her kid-wrangling skills at home, where she and her husband have two daughters, ages 12 and 9. Stevens is an Orange County native who attended UC San

She then moved across country to earn a doctorate in optometry at the State University of New York College of Optometry. After working several years at her New York optometry clinic, Stevens returned home to San Diego four years ago to open Optometry Cabana. She is a licensed therapeutic optometrist whose comprehensive medical eye exams check for cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, hypertensive retinopathy, conjunctivitis, ocular

allergies, dry eye and other ocular conditions. With her youthful clientele, Stevens said, an increasing problem is “computer vision syndrome.” Children and teens have their eyes glued to screens — TVs, tablets, video games, smartphones — for so many hours each day that it strains their eyes. Children are reporting blurred vision, double vision, red, dry or irritated eyes, and difficulty refocusing, all symptoms of computer vision syndrome. Dr. Stevens said there are multiple ways to treat the problem, from special lenses to a special lens coating that can block blue light and reduce glare. And some kids just need to cut back on their screen time, the doctor-slash-mother declared. Stevens said one trend in modern optometry for children is fitting young children with contact lenses. Modern contacts are easier to insert, more comfortable to wear and are disposable, making them a reasonable choice for almost any youthful age. Optometry Cabana is open seven days a week. The clinic accepts appointments, which can be made by phone (858-348-5900) or on the store’s website (optometrycabana.com) or Facebook page. Walk-ins are also welcome. The store accepts most insurance plans. And don’t forget to bring the kids, Stevens says. “Few things make me prouder to be an optometrist than to help a child with vision problems be able to see, to read, to play sports and live a normal children’s life. That makes it all worthwhile for me.” Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers.

Young local actors to perform in Billy Elliot the Musical at Lyceum Theatre

La Jolla Cultural Partners

The California Youth Conservatory (CYC), three-time winner of the San Diego A-List Award for “Best Theatre Group,” is honored to present the San Diego-based premiere of Billy Elliot the Musical at the Lyceum Theatre downtown San Diego from May 28 – June 5. Billy Elliot the Musical, one of the most honored musicals in history with 10 Tony awards, features a timeless score by the legendary Elton John. The engaging plot revolves around the motherless Billy, who trades boxing gloves for ballet shoes with the dream of becoming a professional ballet dancer. The inspirational story of Billy’s personal struggle and fulfillment are balanced against the backdrop of family, friendship, and the community strife triggered during the 1984-85 miners’ strike in Northern England. Billy Elliot The Musical is a funny, uplifting, and spectacular theatrical experience that will warm your heart forever. The cast of CYC’s Billy Elliot the Musical stars a number of San Diegans, including professional singer Ed Hollingsworth, and features a very special appearance by members of the San Diego Gay Men’s Chorus, with live music by Rodrigo Arreola and his orchestra. Local cast members include Seth Raffee and Alexis Maltzman. Seth is a 12-year-old 6th grader at Ocean Air Elementary School and plays the role of “Michael,” Billy’s insightful best friend. “Every song is fantastic, it is hard to choose my favorite. So far, my most memorable part of the show has been rehearsing our performance of ‘Expressing Yourself.’ It is so funny and entertaining. I love it.” Billy Elliot The Musical is Seth’s first show with CYC and his third performance in a local production. Alexis is a 14-year-old 9th grader at Canyon Crest Academy. Playing the part of Susan Parks, this is Alexis’ 4th CYC production and she is excited to be a part of the talented cast. “My favorite scene is where all of the dancers and all of the miners perform onstage together, but the perspective of both groups keeps changing. I think it is a terrific scene and a very interesting part of the show.”

‘Touch A Truck’ and save a life at May 22 event at CCA No one is too young or old to enjoy San Diego’s Annual Touch A Truck. On Sunday, May 22, from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. at Canyon Crest Academy in Carmel Valley little drivers will line up to fiddle with the turn signals, push every dashboard button in sight, and honk the horn to their little hearts’ desire in every type of vehicle imaginable. And best of all, 100 percent of admission ticket sales and vendor profits go directly to childhood cancer research and clinical trials. Touch A Truck is considered the largest car show just for kids. Yes, kids are literally given the green light to touch, sit behind the wheel and honk the horn in dozens of vehicles ranging from construction, emergency, off-road, delivery, hot rods, and military. The hardest decision of the day is which vehicle to sit in next. While there are lines for each kiddo to take their test drive, the event volunteers keep the lines moving at a reasonable pace. Event organizers have also placed a ticket cap on sales to ensure a great experience for all attendees. Besides getting to sit in the driver’s seat of a construction rig or fire truck, there is entertainment galore everywhere you look. Sponsors provide fun games and give aways, local kid-friendly businesses share their wares, and a legion of Star Wars characters are on hand for some of the best photo-ops ever. In the sky, the Mercy Air Ambulance crew will make a fly-by, land at the event and give tours of the helicopter. With all the honking going on, it can admittedly get a bit loud for some. While

LEON SANDOVAL

At the Touch a Trick event kids have the opportunity to touch, sit behind the wheel and honk the horn in a variety of vehicles. Touch A Truck has most air-horns disabled for the entire event, they suggest bringing ear plugs and also coming during the horn-free hour from 10 a.m. – 11 a.m. If your pit crew gets hungry or thirsty, there will be some of San Diego’s finest mobile food vendors such as Brett’s BBQ, Spins Coffee Truck, Underdogs Gastro Truck, Dang Brother’s Pizza (which has their pizza oven in the back of a 1984 Fire Engine!) and Shaka-Guac that promise not to disappoint. And you can beat the heat with Kona Ice snow cones, SnoCal Shave Ice, and a tall

glass of lemonade from Max’s Incredible Lemonade Stand & Bake Sale. Credit cards are welcome at most vendors, but cash is still king, and there is no ATM on site. Finally, the sun usually is shining on Touch A Truck day and there is very little shade – event organizers recommend sunscreen, especially for the kids, and to wear a visor or hat. What’s the story? The inspiration for Touch a Truck San Diego is Max Mikulak who at the age of 3 was diagnosed with stage IV, high-risk

neuroblastoma. Following successful frontline therapy, Max went into remission and started to return to normal life within a year. Unfortunately, like most kids with stage IV neuroblastoma, his cancer returned. He bravely fought the disease until he passed away, forever 7, in August 2008. In Max’s honor, his parents founded Max’s Ring of Fire (MROF), a non-profit organization dedicated to helping fight kid’s cancer and supports an innovative neuroblastoma research and clinical trials consortium that includes doctors and researchers from UCSD and Rady’s and 30 other children’s hospitals and research sites nationwide. From the first event held in 2009, Max’s Ring of Fire through Touch A Truck San Diego has raised more than $280,000 to deliver lifesaving therapies for kids fighting aggressive childhood cancers. Tickets for Touch A Truck San Diego are available online and you have the opportunity to fundraise for free admission and other great prizes including gift cards, super hero capes, event t-shirts, and a ride in a lifeguard boat (courtesy of the always-friendly Del Mar Lifeguards). Organizers recommend buying prior to the event due to the high probability of selling-out. Event hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Sunday, May 22. More information, event photos and tickets are available at www.TouchATruckSD.com or call 858-621-3473. You can also follow them on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter using the hashtag #TouchATruckSD.

Special Earth Day SciFri at Del Mar Heights

t their most hands-on SciFri this year, Del Mar Heights students and parents were in for a treat! Presented jointly with Heights Cares, families celebrated Earth Day by participating in fun and interactive stations. At one station, students learned about solar energy and how to build a solar oven using a pizza box, aluminum foil, plastic wrap, newspaper and black construction paper. Pizza boxes were generously donated by the Domino’s Pizza at Del Mar Highlands Town Center. At another station, students learned about watershed issues from the San Diego County Office of Education SPLASH mobile. Students walked away with a better understanding of how their actions can negatively or positively impact our waterways. At the garden station, students completed a scavenger hunt in which they learned about the different trees and crops. Upon completion, students were rewarded with a “dirt” pudding cup. Lastly, students learned about and made seed balls, which can turn an empty patch of land in the local community into something beautiful. Courtesy photos

Sun Exposure, Heat, and Varicose Veins— Is there a Link? It seems as though we just had the wintery weather of El Niño, and already things are heating up. But this is typical of life in Southern California. However, whether or not people are happy with this weather change, what is often noticed is an increase in varicose veins when things start to heat up. Why is this? Does sun exposure increase the chances of getting varicose veins? In a word, no. So while it’s good to always wear sunscreen on your whole body when

exposed even an hour to the sun, the sun’s rays will not contribute to you acquiring varicose veins. Remember, much of your likelihood of getting varicose veins comes from genetics. These veins are the enlarged, rope-like veins that appear near the surface of the skin, usually in the legs and ankles. The main contributor of their development is weakened vein walls and faulty valves, exacerbated by increased pressure in the lower extremities. The veins that normally pump blood back up the legs falter, and the blood then collects, pooling up and increasing pressure on the veins, which further weakens and damages them. This condition affects about 40% of women and 25% of men. So why is there a noticeable increase in varicose (and spider) veins in warmer months? Another word: heat. It’s not the sun that is the problem; when you are exposed to warm weather, leg veins dilate and enlarge, which can cause them to ﬁll with more blood. Blood is also brought closer to the

skin to help cool down the body, making veins look larger. People who already experience symptoms will likely find an increase in the appearance of these veins. This means that if you have symptoms of varicose veins, you should avoid heat, such as long hot baths or submersion in hot tubs and steam rooms. And if your legs are aching because of swollen veins, opt for ice packs, staying far away from heat packs. What should be done to relieve varicose veins? Unfortunately, these do not go away on their own, even if the weather cools off. It may be time to consider sclerotherapy, an injection of the chemical sclerosant directly into a varicose vein in order to damage the inside lining of the vein. The subsequent scarring causes the vein to close. This can be done in an office lunch visit, 5-30 minutes, depending on the number of veins to be injected. There is minimal recovery time. Sclerotherapy has over an 80% effectiveness rate among patients. Among its many benefits, sclerotherapy costs much less than surgery or EVLT/RFA (endovenous laser

therapy or radiofrequency ablation) and requires no hospital stay. Is now the best time to get sclerotherapy? Some people prefer to have the procedure done in fall or winter, when the weather is cooler, because compression stockings and leggings are often recommended post-procedure. But if you are planning a summer trip, now may be an ideal time to nip the condition in the bud. Keep in mind that varicose veins are a medical condition. If you are in pain or even discomfort, your quality of life is being affected. Treatment can provide immediate relief for some and quick relief for most everyone else. Prolonging treatment can actually lead to serious conditions such as deep vein thrombosis. For more information on sclerotherapy, laser treatment for spider veins, or to schedule an appointment, contact us at 760944-9263 or visit us at www.sdveininstitute. com.

Mother’s Day breakfasts around the world

rowing up, my mom would reiterate with Queen Solomon wisdom the proverb, “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince, and dinner like a pauper,” as she prepared morning feasts several days a week. For all the thousands of breakfasts your mother has made for you over the years, it’s time to reciprocate. Take her tastebuds on a global adventure with this line-up of some favorite foreign (and domestic) breakfasts you can whip on Sunday, May 8, and throughout the year.

A Yen for Japanese Eats

A breakfast from the Land of the Rising Sun starts with a steamy bowl of miso soup accompanied by grilled fish, tamagoyaki (rolled omelet) or a raw egg, pickled vegetables, seasoned nori (dried seaweed), natto(fermented soybeans), rice porridge, and a cup of antioxidant-rich green tea. And don’t forget to teach mom how to use chopsticks!

Le Petit Déjeuner

While French cuisine tends to be rich and heavy, a customary breakfast is a light and petit offering, more sweet than savory, too. A café au lait or chocolat chaude (hot chocolate) might be paired with a mouth-watering brioche, a pain au chocolat (chocolate bread), a flaky almond croissant, a tartine (buttered baguette with

FROM FOSTER, B1 fostering, but they don’t,” Wiemann said. “They think everything’s working OK. They don’t realize that in their own backyard there’s all these kids of all ages that are going without homes that really need homes.” Angels Foster Family Network has provided foster homes to nearly 800 children, newborn to 5 years old, since the organization was founded in 1998.

preserves) or a chausson aux pommes (apple filled Danish). Surprisingly, French toast did not originate in France, rather regional recipes filtered through the borders over the years from ancient Rome to Spain, Germany, and even the court of Henry V. And yes, the French adapted a version that salvaged stale bread called pain perdu, which translates to “lost or wasted bread,” that would otherwise be thrown out. Bon appétit!

Beyond the Kibbutz

A typical Israeli breakfast is a harmonious blending of the flavors of Europe and the Middle East that pleases a wide range of palates, along with the ethos of locavores who enjoy the sustainability and seasonality of fresh fruits and vegetables. The centerpiece of the savory breakfast is a confetti of raw vegetables, and a variety of olives and sprouts. The salad is complemented by protein sources of hummus, hard-boiled eggs, sardines, herring in a wine or cream sauce, and lox or smoked salmon. To round out the meal an assortment of breads and crackers, like pita and bagels is served. (See FreeRangeClub.com).

■ Ingredients: 1 can fava beans; 1/2 small onion, diced; 1 handful flat-leaf parsley, chopped; 1 garlic clove, minced; 1 Meyer lemon, juiced; 1/4 teaspoon each of cumin, oregano and cayenne pepper; 1 tablespoon of extra virgin olive oil, and more for drizzling; Sea salt to taste; 2 scallions, halved; Tahini sauce. ■ Method: In a small saucepan, sauté onion in olive oil until translucent. Set aside. In a large mixing bowl, add the beans with its juice, and blend in

potatoes), rashers (slices of bacon), really runny sunny side up eggs mopped up with buttered toast or crumpets, followed by sweet scones and a strong cup of English breakfast tea. Cheerio!

Mamma Mia – When in Rome

Italians start the day with caffè latte, which translates to “milk coffee,” or an espresso accompanied by a flaky pastry or a crispy golden toast called fette biscottate. In some parts of Italy like the Tuscany region, a glass of Chianti is served for dipping these crunchy biscuits to reduce the need for dental visits.

That process takes three to six months. Of Angels Foster Family Network’s annual budget, $1.6 million comes from county, state and federal funding for the children that come into the agency’s care.

Excited families and couples tour Encinitas Dream Homes at Hallmark Communities’ Open House event This past weekend, large numbers of families and couples attended Hallmark Communities’ Open House event at Bracero 3, at 805 Bracero Rd, Encinitas. The reaction to the exclusive enclave of semi-custom luxury, ocean-view homes, was overwhelmingly enthusiastic. Bracero 3 is usually shown by appointment only, but during the two-day event, buyers could explore the homes, take in the ocean views, smell the sea breezes, and imagine living the coastal lifestyle. Sales agents and a loan officer were also on site to assist interested parties. For more information, please contact Tom Archbold at 760-644-1299 or tarchbold@hallmarkcommunities.com today.
