SDUHSD mulls how to fill top post BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) board is weighing its options on how to move forward replacing its leader after receiving the news of Superintendent Rick Schmitt’s departure for the San Ramon Valley Unified School District. SDUHSD Board President Beth Hergesheimer, Vice President Joyce Dalessandro and trustee Amy Herman would like to see a new superintendent in place by
July 1, while trustees John Salazar and Mo Muir would like to see an interim superintendent until after the November election in which two board seats will be up for grabs and the board makeup could potentially change. Salazar made it clear he would not support any candidate for the new superintendent position before the election. The board is expected to decide on whether or not

Del Mar joins Live Well San Diego initiative BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although Del Mar has long worked to advance the community, the city only recently became an official partner in San Diego County’s ongoing initiative to improve the health, safety and well-being of residents. The City Council on April 18 unanimously adopted a resolution in support of Live Well San Diego, a 10-year comprehensive plan the County Board of Supervisors adopted in 2010 to advance the health, safety and well-being of the region’s more than 3 million residents. “Our community plan promotes a healthy lifestyle,” Councilman Don Mosier said at the meeting. “This is supposed to be a pedestrian-centered community, and I think we have many efforts in town that are in concert with Live Well San SEE PLAN, A22
BY KRISTINA HOUCK The Solana Beach City Council on April 27 approved a professional services agreement with Chen Ryan Associates to develop a traffic impact fee program. In November 2014, the council certified the environmental impact report and adopted updates to the city’s circulation and land use elements of the general plan. As part of the update, a new policy was added to develop and maintain a transportation impact fee program that collects fees from development projects based on the number of additional trips — across all modes of transportation — the development is projected to generate. “It will look at all development, including single-family homes, commercial, mixed-use,” explained City Manager Greg Wade. “Part of the adoption and certification of our land use element requires us to study this as a method to assess our circulation impacts.” The fees collected from the program would be used to fund SEE FEE, A20

ELECTION PROFILES
Roberts faces two challengers for county supervisor seat
BY ELIZABETH MARIE HIMCHAK County Supervisor Dave Roberts is facing two opponents during the June 7 primary in his bid for reelection to the District 3 seat. The district includes Rancho Bernardo, 4S Ranch, Carmel Mountain Ranch, Sabre Springs and Rancho Penasquitos. All three candidates — Roberts, Sam Abed and Kristin Gaspar — are expected to participate in a debate from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, May 17 hosted by the North San Diego Business Chamber. It will be held at Petco Corporate Headquarters, 10850 Via Frontera in Rancho Bernardo. The public may attend the debate for free, but since space is limited to 200, attendees must register by Sunday, May 15 at sdbusinesschamber.com or 858-487-1767. ***** Sam Abed, 64, is an Escondido resident who has lived in District 3 for 29 years. He was an engineer for 12 years with IBM and is the founder of Pacific West Consulting. Abed has been an Sam Abed Escondido councilman since 2004 and Escondido mayor since 2010. His campaign website is at SamForSupervisor.com. He is a Republican. When asked why he wants to be a county supervisor, Abed said, “To restore trust and transparency in county government. As mayor of the largest city of the district, I
have led Escondido to financial and economic success. I want to bring the same values to county government.” Abed said the three greatest issues impacting District 3 are public safety, land use and infrastructure. As for attracting and keeping businesses in the county, Abed said, “In Escondido, under my leadership, we attracted 950 new businesses and $1 billion in new investment to the city by streamlining regulations. I will bring the same principles of economic prosperity to the county.” When asked if he supports the county contributing money toward a new football stadium, Abed said, “No. I believe taxpayers’ money should be used to provide services to our residents.” Regarding SANDAG’s proposed ½ cent sales tax increase, Abed said that as a SANDAG board member he voted against the measure. ***** Kristin Gaspar, 36, is an Encinitas resident who has lived in District 3 for 31 years. She earned her bachelor’s degree in broadcast journalism from the Walter Cronkite School Kristin Gaspar of Broadcast Journalism. She has served on the Encinitas City Council since 2010 and is Encinitas’ mayor. She is the chief financial officer and owner of Gaspar Doctors of Physical Therapy.
Her campaign website is at GasparForSupervisor.com. She is a Republican. When asked why she wants to be a county supervisor, Gaspar said, “We need elected officials adhering to the highest of ethical standards, serving as positive role models in the community. I will restore integrity to the Third District office of supervisor, working hard each day to maintain the public’s trust and abide by the highest standards of honesty and integrity.” She added, “My experiences make me the most qualified candidate … As a business owner, I understand the importance of supporting our small business community to grow good paying jobs for the region. As mayor, I have focused on balanced budgets, improving fire and police protection, and enhancing our parks, beaches and open spaces. As a mother, I understand the value of investing in our young people.” Gaspar said the three greatest issues impacting District 3 are public safety, balanced budgets with no new taxes, and maintaining county roads and infrastructure. As for attracting and keeping businesses in the county, Gaspar said, “Small businesses are the backbone of the economy at the national, state and community level, but we have not been doing all we can at any of these levels to help businesses thrive.” She added, “Attracting good paying jobs is the key to a sustainable economy in San Diego. We must work closely with the private sector to ensure a strong and
diversified local economy … promote economic growth by balancing environmental protection with long-range planning to develop programs and incentives that create good paying jobs, strengthen our economy and help small businesses grow.” When asked if she supports the county contributing money toward a new football stadium, Gaspar said San Diego should continue efforts to keep the Chargers, but she cannot yet support the current proposal. “In my view, the new downtown San Diego stadium plan needs careful review of the financial plan and intended design.” She said careful consideration is needed to see how increasing tourism taxes will impact hospitality and tourism. Regarding SANDAG’s proposed ½ cent sales tax increase, Gaspar said she opposes the measure due to its lack of balance and project guarantees for the entire San Diego region. ***** Dave Roberts, 55, is a Solana Beach resident who has lived in District 3 for 21 years.

Gabe Krut of Del Mar earns award for Eagle Scout Service Project
TPHS student recognized for academic excellence
Torrey Pines High School student Eric Rasmussen was honored as one of the brightest young students in the world at a recent awards ceremony sponsored by the Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth (CTY). Eric, a participant in the CTY Talent Search, was recognized for scoring exceptionally high on a rigorous, above-grade-level test. As part of the CTY Talent Search, advanced students in second through eighth grades take challenging tests that can reveal their true capacity for learning. Seventh and eighth graders take the SAT or ACT, the same tests used for college admissions. These students may also take advanced versions of the School and College Ability Test (SCAT) or the Spatial Test Battery (STB). Eric was one of more than 30,000 students from more than 60 countries who participated in the CTY Talent Search between March 2015 and February 2016. Only about 30 percent of Talent Search participants earned an awards-ceremony invitation. This spring, more than 8,000 CTY Talent Search honorees were invited to CTY award ceremonies across the U.S. and in China and Hong Kong. Most of these students also qualified for CTY’s summer and online courses.
Del Mar resident and The Bishop’s School student Gabe Krut (class of 2017) recently received recognition for his Eagle service project, earning the Glenn A. and Melinda W. Adams National Eagle Scout Service Project of the Year Award. Gabe’s project entailed developing, staffing and leading a full day, week-long theatre summer camp at the Family Recovery Center, a mental health services residential program for mothers and children, where mothers work to recover from substance abuse.

Dr. Ted Chan and his wife, Diana Loo, with former President Bill Clinton at a San Diego Foundation/Clinton Foundation event to support the 2007 Wildfires recovery efforts.
Carmel Valley resident keeps busy as professor, physician, philanthropist BY JOE TASH Dr. Ted Chan wears many hats in his professional and civic lives. But a unifying theme is his desire to improve the health and well-being of San Diegans. Chan, 50, a Carmel Valley resident, is chair of the department of emergency medicine at UC San Diego, a position in which he oversees the operations of three emergency rooms, along with the teaching of emergency medicine at the UCSD Medical School, and research programs. He also finds time to care for patients at the hospital system’s emergency room in Hillcrest. On the civic side, Chan serves on the board of governors of the San Diego Foundation, a philanthropic organization that supports a variety of charitable endeavors. One of the areas in which he has focused at the foundation is in disaster relief, and he played a role in providing assistance to families affected by the major wildfires that struck San Diego County in 2003 and 2007. Chan oversees an emergency medicine program that serves some 130,000 to 140,000 patients per year, in San Diego and Imperial counties. Both locally and nationally, emergency rooms have been seeing a growing patient load, and studies are underway to learn more about usage patterns, he said. Primary care doctors can be very important in helping patients manage their ongoing health issues, and determine when a visit to a clinic or emergency room is appropriate. One resource for patients, he said, is the county’s 2-1-1 resource line, which can provide assistance on how to get enrolled in a health insurance plan, and how to find a provider. In an effort to improve emergency care, UCSD recently sought and won an $11.8 million grant from the West Foundation, which will pay for a specialized emergency
unit at the Thornton Hospital in La Jolla dedicated to serving people over 65, said Chan. The money will pay for construction of the facility, as well as training for staff and research of best practices. “Seniors often do come to the emergency room with more complex health and social issues,” Chan said. In his position on the San Diego Foundation board, Chan also considers the health and welfare of the community. The foundation supports a variety of programs, from the arts and education to the environment. “The main thing is there’s a vision to use philanthropic dollars to improve our community and the lives of San Diegans on all sorts of different levels,” he said. Among the work with the foundation that he is most proud of, said Chan, was helping families impacted by the wildfires, whether it was providing housing or scholarships for their children. The foundation’s disaster relief committee also contributed to environmental mitigation efforts in the wake of the fires. The foundation disbursed $3 million in aid following the 2003 wildfires, and $10 million after the 2007 conflagration. The effort was so successful, he said, that the San Diego Foundation was asked to share its experiences and best practices with other foundations, becoming a model for the role that a philanthropic organization can play following a disaster. He even got to meet former President Bill Clinton, Chan said. “That was very gratifying,” Chan said. Chan and his wife, Diana Loo, a high school teacher, raised two children in Carmel Valley, a son who now studies computer science at UC Berkeley, and a daughter who will graduate in June from Torrey Pines High School. “There’s a certain community and family spirit in Carmel Valley, it’s very attractive to folks raising families,” he said.

Award-winning robotics experience encourages student to pursue career in engineering BY KRISTINA HOUCK Maya Ziv had no clue just how much she would learn to love robotics when she joined Canyon Crest Academy’s team as a sophomore. Now a soon-to-be graduating senior, the 17-year-old plans to study engineering in college. “I never would have gone into engineering without this team,” Maya said. “It’s been a huge part of my life and it’s changed me a lot as a person. I really like it.” Although Maya enjoyed math, she wasn’t particularly passionate about science and hadn’t considered engineering until her friends encouraged her to join the team. Founded in 2009, Aluminum Narwhals, team 3128, participates in a nonprofit program known as FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) in the high school divisions FRC (FIRST Robotics Competition) and FTC (First Tech Challenge). Through this program, every year the team competes head-to-head on a special playing field with robots the students have designed, built and programmed. “I love the idea that, with the opportunities this program provides, you can just make anything,” said Maya. With a lot of hard work, the Carmel Valley school’s robotics team has enjoyed much success, especially over the past few years. At the San Diego Regional Competition in 2014, when Maya was a sophomore, the team won a creativity award for innovative design. Aluminum Narwhals was the only team that designed a circular robot.

“It was super hard to program and hard to build, so we won an award for that,” Maya recalled. In 2015, Aluminum Narwhals won the Entrepreneurship Award at regionals for the Robotics Summer Camps it hosts on campus every year. “That was really awesome,” she remembered. This year, with Maya as team president, Aluminum Narwhals constructed a robot for

FIRST Stronghold, a challenge that involved overcoming obstacles and scoring dodgeballs into goals. After more than 3,000 hours of effort, the team won the Engineering Inspiration Award at the Las Vegas Regional Competition and a $5,000 sponsorship from NASA to attend the the FIRST World Championship in April 27-30 in St. Louis. “It’s fantastic because it feels like the culmination of three years of work for me,” Maya said just days prior to the competition. “I’ve put a lot of time into this team. Winning this award was sort of like a validation of all of this work that I’ve put in. The team deserves it so much. They all work so hard.” The Aluminum Narwhals placed 39th in their division for their robot, which Maya described as a “six-wheeled tank.” “It wasn’t the success we hoped for, but it was an awesome experience for our team,” she said. “It definitely sparked the fire of determination for future success.” Although the growing list of awards and challenging competitions have been some of the team’s biggest accomplishments, Maya is also proud of the summer camp Aluminum Narwhals developed for elementary and middle school students. The camp idea came about after robotics team members and their mentor discovered just how pricey similar options are for local students. So they decided to offer an affordable alternative. “Kids should have access to this stuff,” Maya said. “We really want kids to be able to
get into engineering because it’s not nearly as hard as everyone thinks it is.” In its first year, the camp raised about $15,000 for the robotics program. The camp brought in $48,000 the following year. “It’s allowed us to expand our robotics program a lot,” said Maya, noting that the robotics team is able to compete through donations, fundraisers and sponsorships. “It’s opened up a ton of opportunities for us.” Canyon Crest Academy’s third annual Robotics Summer Camps are set to return July 5-Aug. 5. During the five weekly sessions, first- through eighth-grade students will build and program robots, and at the end of each week, participate in a mini competition where they form alliances and test their contraptions. In the process, campers learn the basic principles of engineering, design and programming with the help and instruction of high school counselors from various robotics teams. “If I had this camp in middle school, I would have built these robots and competed in competitions and thought this was super cool,” Maya said. “It would have been another two or three years of experience I could have had.” Although much of her time has been devoted to the Aluminum Narwhals, Maya also serves as president of the school’s Gender Sexuality Association. Additionally, she has helped organize the school’s TEDxYouth events. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events devoted to ideas SEE STUDENT, A19

A voice for victims of terror Adopt a Family event features survivors of terrorism in Israel, non-profit’s inspiration BY KAREN BILLING Call it mother’s intuition, but Sharon Evans woke up the morning of Valentine’s Day in 2001 with a feeling of dread. She did not want her 19-year-old daughter Monique to go into work that day but members of the Israeli Army can’t exactly call in sick. So Evans let her go but couldn’t shake the eerie feeling, wishing that she had given her daughter an extra kiss before she left to catch the bus. When reports came over the radio in the taxi she was taking to her own job in Israel, Evans struggled to understand the news given in Hebrew, the language she was still learning. A terrorist attack. A bus. Israeli soldiers. Somehow, she knew in an instant that her daughter was in the terrorist attack. Evans and her daughter, Monique Goldwasser-Buzhish, were in San Diego on April 17 to share their story of terror and survival at the Adopt a Family Foundation’s annual fundraiser. Adopt a Family was co-founded by Rancho Santa Fe’s
Carine Chitayat to bring emotional and financial support to victims of terror, to help people come to terms with the shock of the loss of their loved ones or to overcome fear of terror events that have become a part of their everyday lives. Evans and Chitayat have been connected since the early beginnings of Adopt a Family in 2003. “Sharon is a hero to us and the true inspiration behind our program,” Chitayat said. Evans’ father was a Holocaust survivor and her very strong Zionist beliefs led her to move her family from South Africa to Israel. “I came to Israel to help build the country and put my signature on my country,” Evans said. “I am an idealist and was probably a little naive…but I was determined to fulfill my Zionist dream.” She and her husband didn’t see eye to eye on what Israel had to offer so they parted ways — she was left a single mother to four young children with limited knowledge

As the family did not have a car, Monique had to get a lift from the family’s home in Ashkelon to the base. On the day of the terror attack, her ride fell through and she had to take the bus instead. Seeking revenge for Palestinians killed by the Israel Defense Forces, the bus driver spotted a group of soldiers at the crowded bus stop near Holon and plowed straight into them. A friend of Monique’s would later tell Evans that he heard a bang and
a smash and watched horrifyingly as the bus rolled over Monique. When Monique arrived at the hospital she was bleeding profusely, her pelvis and limbs were broken, all of her teeth were knocked out, and the skin was ripped off her face. The doctors were considering amputating her leg and were struggling to control her internal bleeding. Doctors told Evans they had less than a 1 percent chance of saving her daughter’s life and that her only hope was the use of an experimental blood-clotting drug. While her daughter underwent
surgery, all Evans could do was pray. “I looked to God and asked ‘What can I do? I have nothing,’” Evans said, realizing that the answer was her own voice. “I promised that if God saved my daughter’s life I will become the face for terror victims. Seven people were killed that day and two were left brain damaged. I would become their voice and I would make sure the world will never forget what happened that day.” In what she calls “Monique’s miracle,” Monique survived but her long road to recovery was just SEE TERROR, A20

Del Mar council honors Powerhouse Community Center BY KRISTINA HOUCK Starting with the preservation of the Powerhouse Community Center, the Friends of the Powerhouse has continued to protect and enhance the city for years. Recognizing the nonprofit’s important part in the community, Mayor Sherryl Parks presented the organization with a proclamation during the May 2 council meeting. “From its inception through today, the unwavering aim of the Friends of the Powerhouse has been to promote enjoyable, safe and accessible recreational facilities and activities, from toddlers to seniors, from passive to active park- and beach-goers, and for people of all ability levels,” Parks said. In an effort to transform the Powerhouse into a public community center, a group of citizens formed the Powerhouse Restoration Committee in the mid-1990s. Built in 1928, the facility was once a functioning powerhouse that supplied heat and hot water to a nearby hotel. Thanks to more than $450,000 in donations from local residents and businesses, the historical building was renovated and opened as a community center in late 1999. “The main goal has always been to save and restore this building,” Barbara Harper, founder
of the Friends of the Powerhouse, said during last year’s Southwest Oral History Association’s Annual Conference in Del Mar. “It now serves the whole community.” Founded as the the Friends of the Powerhouse in 2001, the organization has since grown its scope, membership, projects and programs. The Friends of the Powerhouse aims to preserve historical and architecturally significant properties, promote social welfare, educate the public and protect the community and its landmarks in the beach area of Del Mar. Since its inception, the organization has raised more than $1.5 million for various projects, including the creation of a tot lot, Beach Safety Center, a street-to-beach boardwalk and the Bill Teague Memorial Garden. The organization also assists the city with site renovations and supports the Del Mar Lifeguard Department. “l, Sherryl Parks, mayor of the city of Del Mar, on behalf of the entire City Council, hereby recognize Friends of the Powerhouse for their many contributions, and encourage all Del Marians to recognize the positive impact nonprofit organizations have on the quality of life of the citizens of Del Mar.” For more about the Friends of the Powerhouse, visit friendsofthepowerhouse.org.
Volunteer encourages women to get involved in San Diego Women’s Foundation
T
hough now grown, Del Mar’s Dana Dahlbo credited her daughter with getting her more involved in the community. Dahlbo served as president of Earl Warren Middle School’s Parent Teacher Association when her daughter attended the Solana Beach school, and on the board of the Parents Association at The Bishop’s School when her daughter went on to the La Jolla high school. The mother-daughter duo was also active in National Charity League. “I feel quite pleased to have instilled that volunteerism in my daughter,” Dahlbo said in an interview just before Mother’s Day. Her daughter, Alison, now lives in Orange County, where she’s getting involved in the community. “That pleases me a great deal that she’s taking on that feeling that she needs to give back to the community and volunteer some time and energy,” Dahlbo added. Dahlbo got her start in community service as a member of a sorority at William Jewell College, a private liberal arts college in Missouri. She went on to earn a bachelor’s
degree in history, and later came to Southern California from Michigan in 1971 with her husband, Rob. They first moved to Los Angeles and then settled in San Diego in 1981. For close to 30 years, Dahlbo worked as an administrative assistant to scientists in the physical oceanography department at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Prior to Dana that, she worked at Dahlbo UCSD Medical Center in Hillcrest. After 35 years with UCSD, Dahlbo retired two year ago. Already actively involved in the community, however, she remained busy. “This is a very, very small little town,” Dahlbo said. “It’s amazing how many stellar philanthropists there are in this small community. It’s remarkable.” Dahlbo is a founding member of the San Diego Women’s Foundation.

Local resident Danny Berk a smash on Snapchat BY ROB LEDONNE It’s an overcast Wednesday afternoon in Carmel Valley and Danny Berk, 22, is currently working on his latest Snapchat sponsorship deal with Jack in the Box. The corporation recruited Berk, a star on the social media application, to help hawk their burgers and fries. “My Snapchat is all about entertainment and making people laugh,” Berk explains of his presence on the app. “I initially downloaded it as a joke.” Since downloading, Berk has turned into a nationally-known Snapchat influencer and his account has a massive following eager for Berk’s frequent updates. With his positive and sunny personality on full display, Berk’s many fans fawn over everything from his travels around the country, to his interactions with brands, or even his forays with surfing in North County. “I’ve been surfing since I was 12 and am obsessed with it,” Berk explains of his other passion. “I was doing some really big surfing contests and living the dream, traveling between Panama, Costa Rica and El Salvador.” However, while
Snapchat star Danny Berk. Berk was good, he explains “You gotta be winning to make good money and it was just hard to win.” Enter Snapchat. At first Berk was a hit among his small circle of friends for his inventive account, but after being inspired by other popular Snapchatters who turned the application into a career, he started to expand his
horizons. “I thought, why not me? So I went for it,” he says looking back at his humble beginnings. It wasn’t until last April when, after attending a professional surfing contest in Bali, Berk arrived back in North County and his following took off, largely thanks to a Business Insider article that named him one of the “Top 13 Snapchatters
ERIKA ALATORRE
You Need To Follow.” That coup led to bigger and bigger things, including getting recruited by AOL to host a Snap-centric web show and collaborating with other popular users of the application. “After that a couple Snapchatters started reaching out to me and I became good friends with them and we started
working together. It’s crazy how nice the community is.” Not only has Berk collected an array of fans, but he’s become an esteemed member of the digital community. At last April’s Shorty Awards, which honors the best digital creators in the country, Berk was nominated for “Snapchatter of the Year.” In addition, he’s regularly teaming up with brands as varied as the previously-mentioned Jack in the Box (a representative from which he randomly met in Del Mar on Dog Beach,) and Zillow (for which he’s working on a “very exciting project”). While he’s showered with support, Berk admits that some of his surfer friends “still don’t get it.” Laughs Berk, “They’d say, you’re making money off Snapchat? How is that possible?” His parents, meanwhile, are hip to the application and even post Snaps of their own. “They’re very supportive. My dad sometimes even gives me ideas.” For now, Berk is enjoying his Snap-success and is hoping it leads to even bigger things. His main goal throughout it all? “I want to keep making good content.” Add Berk on Snapchat using his username: DannyBerk.

Girl Scouts give dream room makeover with non-profit
C
armel Valley-based Girl Scout Troop 1224 recently completed a heartfelt room renovation with the non-profit Cecily’s Closet for a teenager with special needs. The girls overhauled the bedroom of Vesna Vasich, an 18-year-old who has Down’s Syndrome, creating a bright and pretty space all her own. Led by troop leaders Kelly Wesseln and Dahlia Jabro, the troop of girls started as Brownies in the first grade and now has seven girls across various high schools. The troop includes Lauren Goldman, Peyton Hall, Ashley Jabro, Moriah Seymann, Abigail Shah, Gaby Shah, Juliana Valenzuela and Kayla Wesseln. The girls represent Canyon Crest Academy, Cathedral Catholic, Academy of Our Lady of Peace and San Diego Jewish Academy high schools. Ashley said a lot of time there isn’t chances
for the girls to interact as they are in different schools —Girl Scouts gives them an opportunity to all come together. Over the last few years, the troop has established a relationship with Cecily's Closet, a non-profit that serves children with special needs and their families in San Diego County. The organization recycles durable medical equipment and provides dream room makeovers. The troop had previously been involved with Cecily’s Closet by making “belly bands” for children with feeding tubes. Cecily’s Closet gave the girls a $1,500 budget for the room renovation and Lauren managed the funding and organized each girl’s responsibilities. The troop got to know Vesna a little bit when they went to clean out her room. As Kayla said, they got an idea that she was a One SEE MAKEOVER, A20

OPINION
OUR READERS WRITE A persistent error in One Paseo square footage reports Your May 5 lead story, “CV board urges One Paseo plan keep moving forward,” repeats an error that has been frustratingly persistent. I first noticed it in the slides from Kilroy’s workshop with the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board on Aug. 19, 2015, and reported it to Kilroy and others. These slides, and those from other presentations, are posted at www.onepaseo.com. Slide 15 is a chart showing square footage from their original and revised proposals, plus the percentage reduction. By my own calculation from the square footage numbers, there is no reduction in residential space, a 42 percent reduction in office space (from 484,000 to 280,000 sq ft), and a 61 percent reduction in retail space (from 246,500 to 95,000 sq ft,). Kilroy’s chart, though, showed the reduction in office space as 58 percent (an error: someone slipped up and entered the percentage retained rather than reduced) and the reduction in retail space as 62 percent (a less important rounding error). The chart makes it appear that the reductions were comparable, when, in fact, retail space was reduced much more than office space. This matters, because it shows that the part of this multiuse project that would directly benefit community residents—retail—is the part getting reduced the most. In evaluating the proposal, this disadvantage needs to be balanced against the advantage of a greater reduction in traffic, since retail space generates more daily trips per square foot than office space. To have that discussion, the right numbers need to be used. Your May 5 story, and others I have seen over the months, instead cite the numbers from the Aug. 19 chart. To their credit, Kilroy corrected the percentages to 43 percent and 61 percent in their Sept. 24 informational update posted at www.onepaseo.com (slide 13). The next informational update, dated Oct. 22, lists the correct square footage numbers (the same as before except that 95,000 sq. ft. was updated to 95,871 sq. ft., which still rounds to 61 percent by my calculation). Mysteriously, this chart shows the percentages as 37 percent and 56 percent. I did not see a slide with square footage in the most recent presentation, dated Jan. 13, 2016. I do not know San Diego’s process for checking these and other calculations, such as as traffic impacts of the revised proposal. It is my hope that the City Council members, with or without a Planning Commission vote, will satisfy themselves that there has been adequate expert review. I also hope they will put citizens first in considering whether further reductions in size and impact of One Paseo would produce the best project for the location. Adele Abrahamsen, Del Mar Heights
Del Mar does not have much of a crime issue…or do we?

The Sheriff provides, each week, a report on their activity in Del Mar. The average number of incidences in a typical week is about eight or nine. This report appears in our City Manager’s report each week. Not really much crime in our little city. But is this the whole story? Sorry to say, no. In fact, way off the actual criminal activity in Del Mar. In 2015 the Sheriff 911 audit showed 1,871 incidences that they responded to in Del Mar. When asked why the list provided was so small compared to the actual activity, the Captain said that the weekly list provided is only ones that a detective responds to and has a case number. So the actual crime activity is understated by an additional 28 incidences per week! And it gets worse. The Ranger’s activities are not integrated into the Sheriff’s report either. The Ranger has about 10-15 incidences, on average, each week that do not get reported. There is about a 20 percent overlap, so we are short about eight – 12 incidences handled by the Ranger. So when you see our Sheriff activity as around eight or nine you would say – hey not too much crime in our fair city. But actually 46 – 53 incidences per week occur. And if you want to put our city’s crime rate in perspective with the rest of the county here are other fun facts. The City of Del Mar has the highest “property” crime rate of all cities in the county per 1,000 population. Over

Act now to stop the massive SFID water rate increases Thanks to hundreds and hundreds of fellow citizens in Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe and Fairbanks Ranch, protest forms are pouring in to stop the outrageous water price increases being pushed by Santa Fe Irrigation District (SFID) bureaucrats, over the objection of two of its five elected board members. Although we are on track to stop this money grab, we must have a total of just over 3,200 people to mail or hand deliver the protest form, by Wednesday, May 18. Tired of bureaucrats telling you that we have no water, when in fact our local water supplies are up close to 30 billion gallons since this time last year, and California’s largest reservoirs are so full that water is being spilled out to sea? Tired of them threatening you if you don’t comply with Jerry Brown’s politically motivated water restrictions? Tired of using less water, and then being rewarded by being charged up to 80 percent more for it? Let’s send a message, not only to the local water bureaucrats, but to the entire State of California. Let’s make news! Let your voice be heard. Sign and return the protest form today. The form is available at www.rsfpost.com/sfid_protest_form Don Billings, Solana Beach
Recall the fat cats at the water board The Santa Fe Irrigation District has been asleep at the wheel for years, it’s time to merge them out of existence. California has been in drought conditions for 40 years, did this catch them by surprise? Where are the gray water systems and rain catchers for new construction? The fat cats have been counting their benefits and cadillac pensions instead of developing policy. Their solution? Gouge the ratepayer without recourse. Of course we can protest the giant rate increases — only in writing! I suggest their future raises in salary, benefits and pensions require the same vote. Craig A. Nelson, Solana Beach
Concerns about the SFID rate proposal The SFID (Santa Fe Irrigation District) rate proposal that comes before the SFID board at their May 19 public hearing brings to mind the following concerns: There is the concern about general principles of unfairness, as the proposal gives the illusion of protecting the owners of smaller properties by having the owners of larger properties pay higher rates. But if drought rates are put in place, owners of smaller properties might have an even bigger challenge by having to reduce water usage by an additional 40 percent or face rate increases of 53 percent across the board. There is a troubling sense of “us against them.” Why weren’t all five directors able to reach a consensus on a rate proposal? How many proposals did the board actually study? If only one, who or what prevented the board from evaluating additional rate proposals in order to reach a consensus? Did SFID view the large lemon and orange grove properties differently from large properties with lush landscaping? Will this rate proposal eventually lead to our historic agricultural properties being turned into hundreds of acres of dirt as citrus trees are cut down? Transparency? Did the eight-page “Notice of Public Hearing” clearly demonstrate how to give feedback to oppose this particular rate proposal? Why was the “How To Protest” section in the smallest size print, with no paragraphs, bullet points, charts or numbered lists, unlike every other page of the eight-page notice? Should we be concerned that all written protests are accurately counted by district staff? Is it possible for the SFID to go back to the drawing board and present us

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) with a revised rate proposal that all of us could support? K.C. Gavin, Current resident of Fairbanks Ranch, Former resident of RSF Covenant
Some things that are wrong with the SFID rate proposal It appears to me three of the SFID Directors are being obstinate by refusing to consider the remarks of the other two directors and not requesting staff to get another rate proposal or two from the consultants. Why did the so-called consultants not give at least a couple of reasonable rate proposals that could be embraced by the entire board? Why did this same financial consulting firm not even recommend an across-the-board rate increase, as they had twice previously? Why didn’t district staff even recommend an across-the-board rate increase as they did previously?
Conflict of interest? This proposal increases rates over 40 percent for the smallest users to over 20 percent for the largest users, but reduces rates for a third of the single family residences. I ask this critical question: could one reason be why the three directors from Solana Beach refused to ask for alternative rate proposals is because this rate proposal personally benefits their neighborhoods? Can not these three directors from Solana Beach appreciate that their action — refusing to entertain alternate rate proposals — gives the appearance that they are favoring their own neighborhoods at the expense of other ratepayers? Finally...consider transparency, a term thrown around too easily these days. Tell me, how transparent does this feel to you? The California Constitution guarantees we can block this increase if 50 percent of customers send in a written protest. Back in March the SFID is quoted saying 7,500 written protests are required. False. SFID has to submit a correction to the newspaper. Actual number is 3,253. Did you think they did a transparent job of explaining how to
send in a convenient written protest? Has it occurred to you that maybe you would like to send your written protest to a neutral third party for counting? Does the SFID website give a weekly tally of protests submitted? Do something about it, before these unfair rate increases get locked in..Tell SFID to give us a proposal that all five directors can support and that actually brings in the extra revenue the district tells us it needs. Send back this half-baked proposal. It seems the SFID needs our help to get out of their own way — losing money by selling local water at a price that is more than twice as cheap as it costs them to purchase. Know how much your bills might be next year with the increased meter, and increased water, and the “unknown” wholesaler pass-throughs? No. Any idea how high your bills will be in 2018? No. Don’t you also want to stand up for your rights? I turned in my written protest. May 18 is the deadline. Vinton C. Vint, M.D., Fairbanks Ranch
Last local notes on June 7 primary BY GORDON CLANTON ail voting started Monday. Election Day is less than a month away. Here are some last notes on key local contests. Supervisor. Things are looking up for Supervisor Dave Roberts, the lone Democrat on the five-person county board. District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, a Republican, announced recently that no criminal charges would be filed against Roberts in connection with complaints by some former staffers. The Board of Supervisors previously settled a civil suit by the same former employees for $310,000. Meanwhile, at a recent debate, Roberts’ two Republican challengers went after each other more than they criticized the incumbent. Escondido Mayor Sam Abed and Encinitas mayor Kristin Gaspar both know that only one of them is likely to make it into the November run-off. So for now their guns are aimed at each other. San Diego City Council. The partisan balance of power probably will be determined by the District 1 race to replace termed-out Sherri Lightner. Pro-business Democrat Barbara Bry and Republican businessman Ray Ellis likely will settle the matter in November. In District 7, two promising young Latino Democrats, Justin De Cesare and Jose Caballero, are vying for the chance to meet Republican incumbent Brad Sherman in November. Democrats narrowly outnumber
M
Republicans, 36 to 32 percent. This is the only race other than District 1 where a change of party is possible. County schools. Most school board elections are in November. But the race for San Diego County school board will be settled June 7. The stakes are high. Incumbent Rick Shea is being challenged by Republican heavyweight, former state Senator Mark Wyland. School board elections are nominally non-partisan, but in recent years they have become increasingly politicized, sometimes by the religious right, sometimes by candidates financed by the charter school movement and committed to the destruction of our public schools, sometimes by devout fiscal conservatives who will never give teachers a raise. It’s never been more important to do your homework. Google candidates. Find out what they do for a living. Talk with candidates. Invite them to a coffee at your home. Talk with people knowledgeable about issues in your district. Most important: Follow the money. Find out from whom candidates get the money for their campaigns, especially the biggest contributors. As always: Hold your mail ballot until Election Day. You never know what candidates might do or what scandal might break between now and June 7.

FROM TERROR, A7 beginning. She endured more than six months in the hospital, 38 surgeries and months of rehab. As a single mother alone in Israel, Evans drew strength from the kindness and support of strangers, who visited with her in the hospital and gave her family donations and gifts. As the world had adopted her and helped her through a “nightmare,” she wanted to give that back to others and fulfill the promise she had made to God. Now both a daughter of a survivor and a mother of a survivor, she became a public speaker and advocate for victims of terror, helping introduce victims to congregations and churches around the world. She was speaking in Switzerland in Carine’s hometown of Geneva in 2002 when Chitayat’s mother saw her, leading to Carine contacting Evans and bringing her to San Diego to speak. ‘This visit changed my life and inspired me to co-found, with Iris Pearlman, the Adopt a Family Foundation,” Chitayat said. The organization began in 2003 as a partner of Congregation Beth Am in Carmel Valley, but as it grew bigger it went off on its own, becoming a 501c3 non-profit. “This year we felt that it was time to bring Sharon back,” Chitayat said. “We wanted her to witness that the seed she planted had grown, that even so far away from Israel, there is a community thinking about them and ready to bring its support to victims of terror.” Evans said the organization has become bigger than she ever could have imagined and is amazed at what they have accomplished and
continue to do. Adopt a Family adopts a family a year and has embraced 14 families through its program. They have also undertaken projects that affect a larger population, especially children. Their efforts have focused on helping children suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, have sponsored alternative therapy sessions and refurbished playgrounds. Last month’s Adopt a Family fundraiser was the first time Monique spoke publicly about what happened to her. As Evans said, Monique “claimed her voice.” “They told her she would never walk and she walked. They told her she would never have children, she is now a mother to three children,” Evans said. “Monique is absolutely amazing with her spirit and warmth. She has a 65 percent disability and her leg is partially paralyzed but she is out there with a zest for life and doing all she can to conquer all of the hurdles put in her way.” She received a standing ovation at the event. “Of course, I wish what happened to Monique didn’t happen but it’s all a matter of what you do with it. I don’t ask ‘Why me?’ It’s a matter of how you deal with the cards you’ve been dealt,” Evans said. “I will never leave Israel. I love Israel and I fight for Israel.” She is the director of the non-profit Israel Public Diplomacy Program and she hopes to return to San Diego in the fall to help Adopt a Family expand its efforts. “We’re all small cogs in a big wheel and I believe the reason I came into this world is to make a difference,” Evans said.

FROM FEE, A1 the construction of capital improvement projects. The fees would also administer and maintain the program. “This whole TIF (traffic impact fee) method is really the trend in terms of the way that municipalities are dealing with these transportation-related impacts,” said Deputy Mayor Peter Zahn. “I think the reason it’s a trend is because it has a lot to offer in the way these things are evaluated and assessed.” During the recent update to the city’s general plan, Chen Ryan Associates was hired by Project Design Consultants as a
FROM MAKEOVER, A11 Direction fan from the posters and pictures on her wall, but they interviewed her to find out more about what she was looking for in her new room and what her favorite colors were. Vesna’s mother passed away and while her father Branko and brother Vaso have done an excellent job taking care of her, Juliana said it was obvious her room needed a “feminine touch.” Peyton said the troop spent about two months planning the renovation, including cleaning, buying all of the items and the installation.
FROM VOLUNTEER, A8 philanthropy. “There was a great need for women to have an organization and to learn more about women in philanthropy,” Dahlbo recalled. “Historically, men really did the bulk of it. Women played a part, but not a major part.” Founded as a supporting arm of the San Diego Foundation, the San Diego Women’s Foundation has grown to more than 210 members. Every member commits to an annual contribution of $2,000 for a minimum of five years and helps determine where grants will be awarded each year. As of last year, the organization has given nearly $3 million to 75 community partners to initiate or improve programs. “Dana has been actively engaged in the San Diego Women’s Foundation since its inception and has played a vital role in any success SDWF has realized,” said Linda Katz, founding president of the San Diego Women’s Foundation. “Dana is one of those — most often behind the scenes — selfless community leaders, always willing to roll up her sleeves. Dana is a true delight to know and work with.” In the last 16 years, Dahlbo has served the foundation in various capacities. She currently serves on the board of directors and has served on several committees. She chaired and co-chaired the education committee, and served on the grants, membership and programs committees. She has also worked
on both the proposal review and site visit processes. “I’m fairly active in the organization,” Dahlbo said. “I’m happy being the hands-on, in the weeds kind of person.” Acting as a liaison to a number of the foundation’s community partners, Dahlbo has learned more about nonprofits in the San Diego region and become even more involved in the community. “I’ve lived in North County the whole time I’ve lived here, and except for soccer games, I didn’t know there was any life south of the 8,” she joked. “But the San Diego Women’s Foundation has opened my eyes so much to what is in San Diego. It has caused me to take a more active role in volunteering.” For three years she tutored a refugee family through the International Rescue Committee, a nonprofit that provides health care, infrastructure, education and economic support to people in more than 40 countries and resettles thousands of refugees each year in 26 U.S. cities. The family Dahlbo worked with came from Myanmar and had been in a refugee camp in Thailand for 10 years. “They’re just one of the thousands of refugees that have come to San Diego,” Dahlbo said. “City Heights is a huge refugee area. I didn’t know City Heights was like City Heights except for exposure with the San Diego Women’s Foundation. That’s the key in feeling like I’m making a difference with my contribution.” She is also working closely
with Outdoor Outreach, a San Diego-based nonprofit that connects youth to the outdoors. “It’s a wonderful organization,” said Dahlbo, noting that the San Diego Women’s Foundation funded the program last year. “They’re doing such good in the community.” For the past four years, Dahlbo has served as a Court Appointed Special Advocate for Voices for Children, a San Diego-based nonprofit that recruits, trains and supervises volunteer CASAs. CASAs advocate for the rights and well-being of children living in San Diego County’s foster care system. The child she has been working with, now almost 14 years old, is now getting adopted. “We’ve had a rollercoaster ride for four years, but it’s ending very well,” Dahlbo said. “It’s just wonderful. I’m just over the moon about this happening.” Additionally, Dahlbo has served as an after-school tutor for Kids at Heart and a volunteer driver for Meals on Wheels. “There are a lot of people out there that need. When you can help, both with time and money, you should,” Dahlbo said. “Women can do more than woman,” she added. “I encourage anyone in the community — in the Del Mar, Solana Beach area and beyond — to get involved if they’re thinking about what more they can do.” For more about the San Diego Women’s Foundation, visit www.sdwomensfoundation.org.
subconsultant to prepare the updated circulation element. The firm also prepared the city’s comprehensive active transportation strategies (CATS) program. Additionally, Chen Ryan Associates has performed three iterations of a traffic impact fee analysis for San Diego County and several assessment district programs for the city of San Diego, City Engineer Mo Sammak said. “Chen Ryan is an expert in this field,” Sammak said. The city budgeted $100,000 for the project for the current fiscal year. The project is estimated to cost $81,915, but staff requested $85,000 in case the California Coastal
Commission has requirements that lead to additional work. In a 4-1 vote, the council approved the agreement. Councilwoman Ginger Marshall cast the sole dissenting vote. “I’m responsible for the public’s money and this is an $85,000 line item on the consent calendar, which is a considerable amount of money,” said Marshall, who pulled the item from the consent calendar, a list of items approved with a single vote and no discussion. She questioned whether other firms would offer a lower bid and suggested opening the project up to other bids, although Wade
explained that professional services are not subject to bid requirements. “I think that would be the prudent thing to do considering it’s $85,000,” she said. “Chen Ryan would likely come in as the selected group because of their knowledge already in this city,” Wade said. Councilman Mike Nichols agreed. “Chen Ryan has been a very, very good consultant to the city for many years,” he added. “Chen Ryan is probably one of the leading traffic consultants. … We could waste some staff time and spend some extra money to put out an RFP. I’d also be willing to bet that these guys would be the lowest bid.”
“For me the hardest part was finding things that I thought would fit her personality,” Peyton said. “We wanted to give her a room that transitioned into adulthood.” The girls picked out paint color, selected and assembled furniture and came up with décor ideas like making a wreath of Vesna’s family photos. Vesna never really had a working space before and the area she had was very cluttered — they were excited about giving her a desk where she could keep all of her things organized and have a place to work, “My favorite part of the room was the new curtains because I think it looked really nice
when the light was able to come into her room, it sort of creates a whole new atmosphere,” said Juliana. “I thought by having the light, it was sort of just like an awakening for her, that she gets to enter into this whole new life.” Kayla’s favorite was the new paint color, a soft blue-green hue called “Jaded Clouds.” The painter told the troop that every time someone walks into that room, they’re going to have a big smile on their face because it’s such a happy color. When the girls did the room reveal after they completed their work on April 30, they had Vesna walk in with her eyes closed.
“She seemed really happy as she looked around and really liked it,” Moriah said. “She was kind of in shock.” On Snapchat and Facebook posts with troop members, she raved: “I’m in my new room and I love it!” Her father Branko wants to plan a barbecue with the troop to thank them for the special gift to his daughter. “I feel it’s very important to give back to the community,” Juliana said. “There are so many really kind people around us that we get to have as role models and I know that they do so much for us. It’s really nice we can help out in a way that we can possibly become role models for others as well.”

FROM SUPERVISOR, A2 Kennedy School of Government for State and Local Leaders, the U.S. Air Force’s Air Command and Staff College and the USAF Squadron Officer School. Roberts is completing his first four-year term as a county supervisor and is a small businessman. Before being elected to the county board of supervisors, Roberts was mayor, deputy mayor and councilman in Solana Beach. His campaign website is at DaveRobertsForSupervisor.com. He is a Democrat. “As your county supervisor, I’ve delivered results fighting to protect our county’s general plan to stop overdevelopment of our neighborhoods and rural lands, worked with the Rancho Bernardo community to save Webb Lake, improved public safety, protected our coastline, enhanced county libraries, improved animal services, funded more youth sports playing fields and strengthened fire protection,” Roberts said when asked why he wants to be re-elected. “I helped secure the county’s AAA credit rating, implemented affordable solar energy programs creating over 5,000 new jobs, preserved over 1,200 acres of open space, secured millions for Psychiatric Emergency Response
Teams, co-launched the Alzheimer’s Initiative and led efforts to keep Palomar Forensic Health Center open,” he added. Roberts said the three greatest issues impacting District 3 are quality of life protection, job creation and keeping communities safe. As for attracting and keeping businesses in the county, Roberts cited his understanding of the private sector and past experiences, including as chairman of the San Diego Workforce Partnership. When asked if he supports the county contributing money toward a new football stadium, Roberts said, “I strongly support the Chargers and value what they bring to our region. However … I do not support spending any taxpayer dollars on a new stadium without a countywide vote of the people. Whichever location is selected for a new stadium must utilize public transportation and be integrated into our communities so that it does not change our quality of life or add to traffic congestion.” Regarding SANDAG’s proposed ½ cent sales tax increase, Roberts said he would not directly comment on the measure. “Any solution must include critical infrastructure improvements, but it also must reduce our carbon footprint as required by federal and state law,” he said. “Any proposal must provide needed improvements that are critical to North County residents.”
FROM SDUHSD, A1 search — both options would involve parent and staff engagement. After announcing his departure on April 26, Schmitt met with Hergesheimer and they prepared a request for proposals (RFPs) to send out to two superintendent search firms: California School Boards Association and Leadership Associates. The firms have until May 18 to respond to the RFP. Muir said she felt that the whole board should have been involved in the RFP process and requested the addition of an East Coast firm to the mix and to send out RFPs to a total of five to six firms to give the board more options. “This is a district that has many facets and a lot of depth, a lot of different things going on and a lot of moving parts,” Muir said. “Two firms just isn’t enough.” Salazar said he is against hiring any search firm. He said his concern is that the last time the district hired a search firm in 2013, they spent $26,500 and they ended up hiring Schmitt, who was on staff. He said while he supported hiring a search firm at that time, he wouldn’t make that decision again. “I think these search firms are incestuous in the sense that they go off and tell superintendents ‘Why don’t you leave this position and come over here’,” Salazar said. “It’s a scamy thing where the taxpayers are overcharged for an under-needed service. I do not at all
FROM PLAN, A1 Diego.” The county has encouraged cities to adopt Live Well San Diego to expand the initiative and ultimately lead to an enhanced quality of life throughout the region. Businesses, organizations and school districts have also partnered with the county on the initiative. In recognition of the city’s partnership with the county, San Diego County Supervisor Dave Roberts presented the council with a proclamation and declared
support it.” Hergesheimer said she did not want to circumvent the search firm process as the last time she didn’t know who she wanted until they had interviewed all three candidates and saw who else was out there. The process was important for Schmitt to emerge as the best candidate, Dalessandro agreed. Schmitt said if no internal candidates are interested in the interim superintendent position, another option would be to bring in a retired superintendent for a term, possibly someone with local knowledge of the district. He said he has heard from a number of retired superintendents in the area who are aware of the district position. He said that no internal candidates at SDUHSD have said they are definitively interested in the position. “Some have expressed interest but they have more questions than interest,” Schmitt said. Dalessandro said the only time she would be in favor of an interim superintendent is if it is a short-term assignment because the leader that they choose is unable to come right on July 1. “I really believe we need stability in this district. I really believe for the sake of staff and students and programs and everything having to do with the San Dieguito Union High School District, we need a superintendent in place who will be accountable for everything that goes on,” Dalessandro said. “I want to see a real superintendent sitting in your seat on July 1.”
May 2 as “The city of Del Mar Live Well San Diego Day.” Roberts acknowledged Del Mar’s commitment to bettering the community, from working on a climate action plan and a ban on single-use plastic bags, to supporting access to fresh fruits and vegetables by permitting a farmers’ market every Saturday afternoon. He noted that Del Mar is a smoke- and vape-free city, as well as a bicycle- and pedestrian-friendly city. “Del Mar is living well,” Roberts said at the May 2 council meeting. “Congratulations on being a Live Well city.”

Surgical assistant Michael Carter and Dr. Daniel Witcher with Del Mar Rotary Vice President and St. Leo’s Dental Clinic Board Member Klaus Gubernator
Community celebrates dental clinic renovation BY KRISTINA HOUCK atients treated at St. James and St. Leo dental clinic will leave with even bigger smiles now that the Solana Beach facility has been completely rehabilitated. Community members gathered May 4 at the church to celebrate the renovation of the clinic and recognize the donors and volunteers that made the project possible. Spearheaded by former Solana Beach Mayor Joe Kellejian and his longtime dentist, Dr. Daniel Tevrizian, volunteers worked to repaint the clinic, replace the floors, reupholster the chairs, and enhance the landscaping. “It’s so heartwarming to see what it was before and what it is now,” Kellejian said. Kellejian learned that the clinic needed improvements during a conversation with Tevrizian and his wife, Jan, who works as a volunteer hygienist at the facility. “I said, ‘Let’s do it,’” Kellejian recalled. “He said he’d do the planning, and I said I’d do the fundraising.” The San Diego County Employees' Charitable Organization, Del Mar Rotary Club, Del Sol Lions Foundation, Optimist Club of Del Mar-Solana Beach, La Colonia de Eden Gardens Foundation and Triple X Fraternity, as well as individual contributors, donated a total of $6,800 for the restoration project. Funds covered the cost of the

A former dental patient from Carlsbad was among the donors, which helped raise more money than needed. The remaining funds, Kellejian said, will help cover the costs of repainting the hand railings around the clinic. Members of the Eden Garden community have already volunteered to do the work. “That’s the community themselves getting involved,” Kellejian said with a smile. “You work for money to feed your mouth and you volunteer to feed the soul,” said Jan Tevrizian, a

Rancho Santa Fe resident and dental hygienist who has volunteered at the clinic for about six years. In addition to financial contributions, the project also received a number of in-kind donations. The SeaWeeders Garden Club, which operates under the umbrella of the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society, donated the time and materials for the landscaping. Several members of the club put in new soil and plants in April. “Part of our mission in our garden club is to be involved in projects that are for the beautification of Solana Beach,”
said club president Sandy Parish. “This certainly fit the bill because it was for the community, citizens of Solana Beach. We were quite pleased to be able to participate.” Additionally, Kellejian’s wife, Mary, an interior designer and owner of Solana Beach-based Polo Bay Interiors, obtained 10 gallons of donated paint from Sherwin-Williams. Tony’s Jacal of Solana Beach also donated food for the recent event. “It’s very seldom that you see so many different entities come together in one community to help with a project like this,” Kellejian said. “It’s heartwarming.” Founded in 1991 by the late Dr. Dick Wheelock and with support

from Deacon Albert Graff, the St. James and St. Leo Medical and Dental Program offers medical and dental care for the uninsured working poor every Saturday morning and Wednesday night. The clinic, which started in 1993, provides services for children and participates in Welcome Home Ministries for female prisoners who are in transition from incarceration to productive citizenship. The program serves about 10 patients every Saturday and about 20 patients every Wednesday, totaling more than 1,500 people annually. “It’s not a handout; it’s a hand up,” said Kellejian, noting that the clinic accepts $10 donations per visit. “If somebody needs help, they’re going to help them.” Entirely volunteer run, Dr. Bob Bobbitt headed the clinic until his retirement at the start of May. A dozen volunteer doctors and 10 volunteer hygienists rotate weekly. Pre-dental students from San Diego State and UC San Diego also support the volunteer staff. “We’ve got a committed group, and we’ve got a lot of younger volunteers coming in, which is a good thing, but we need more,” Tevrizian said. “I felt like if we made the structure better and all the equipment up to snuff that we’d get more people who would want to volunteer,” she added. “There’s a big need.” For more information about the clinic, visit stjamesandleo.org.

Heady topic for young actors in new show
‘A Piece of My Heart’ tells stories of female Vietnam vets FROM NORTH COAST REP REPORTS hen the high school-age actors step on the North Coast Repertory stage to tell the stories of six women who served in the Vietnam War in “A Piece of My Heart,” the audience will likely be filled with many who know little of the harrowing history of the women who served in Vietnam and one who lived it — and inspired the play. Highly decorated U.S. Army Veteran Doris “Lucki” Allen, who inspired the character “Steele” in Shirley Lauro’s 1991 play, will be on hand Thursday, May 19 and Friday, May 20 for talk-backs after the performances. Allen, who volunteered for Vietnam service in the Women’s Army Corps (WACs) at age 40 and retired 30 years later after a distinguished career in military intelligence with the rank of CW3, has called the character of Intelligence Office Steele a true portrayal of her three tours in Vietnam and “A Piece of My Heart” “a masterpiece.” Lauro’s play, which is suitable for middle school ages and up, follows Steele and five other women through their enlistment, tour of duty and return home to a not

always so grateful nation. It’s based on Keith Walker’s oral history of 26 women who served, including nurses, Red Cross workers and WACs. “This story is so important to remember because often the women who served were not considered vets — they were written off,” said director Siobhan Sullivan Crews. “With all that is happening around the globe today — and especially with the 22 women now approved to serve in combat leadership roles — I think it is important to remember those who initially paved the way. “This show is definitely a labor of love for me. I was in a production of the show in 1995 and it changed my life,” said Sullivan Crews, who also directed and acted in “A Piece of My Heart” at Mo’olelo Performing Arts Company in San Diego in 2005. “That was the first time I realized how powerful a tool theater was in bringing social awareness and responsibility to a community.” To ensure authenticity and help her teen-age actors understand the complex material, Sullivan Crews brought in former military nurse Susan Farese to teach the cast about nursing, her overseas experience in Korea, and the intensity of the
generations … to teach us, remind us, celebrate and/or convey history and the fact that females were not regarded well — appreciated, valued, etc. — in Vietnam or afterward, and that they also suffer from PTSD, drug and alcohol issues,” she said. “They endured early losses, provided nursing care to patients with tragic, horrific medical injuries, and experienced death at such young ages.” The timing of the production is apt, running on Armed Forces Day May 21 and a week before Memorial Day. The audience is asked to bring a small care package of personal hygiene items to donate to a shelter for homeless vets. A performer playing guitar and singing Vietnam-era songs in the café will accept donations to help homeless vets, as well. DARIN FONG

Solana Beach’s North Coast Rep announces 35th season ‘Hedda Gabler’ marks artistic director’s 100th production BY KRISTINA HOUCK A staple of Solana Beach and North San Diego County for more than 30 years, North Coast Repertory Theatre is ending its 34th season on a high note and entering its 35th year with a combination of fan favorites and local premieres that’s sure to please its patrons. “It started out as a very small organization and over the years, it’s grown and grown and grown,” said Artistic Director David Ellenstein. “We have built a reputation for doing really high-quality work.” With “Way Downriver,” an adaption of William Faulkner’s 1939 short story, “Old Man,” currently on stage through May 15, North Coast Repertory Theatre is also in rehearsal for its next show, the classic, “Hedda Gabler.” Although the second to last show of the season, the play will mark a particularly significant milestone for Ellenstein. It will be his 100th production at North Coast Repertory Theatre. “I can’t believe I’ve been here as long as I have,” said Ellenstein, who has served as North Coast Repertory Theatre’s artistic director for more than 13 years. He started with the theater in January 2003. “It marks a very large body of work, which is a neat thing to have behind me, but I’m always looking forward.”
Richard Baird and Sarah Fetgatter in “Way Downriver.” Written by Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen, “Hedda Gabler” weaves a tale about a woman trapped in a loveless marriage who is driven by a need for power and freedom. Directed by Ellenstein, the show also marks the debut of a translated script by local Ibsen scholar Anne-Charlotte Harvey. The play, which originally premiered in 1891 in Munich, will open June 1 and run through June 26 at the theater. As artistic director, selecting the theater’s plays is just one of Ellenstein’s responsibilities. But he wasn’t thinking about his 100th production when he selected “Hedda Gabler.” Ellenstein has to plan each season well in advance.
AARON RUMLEY
North Coast Repertory Theatre recently announced the schedule for its 35th season. And as soon as “Hedda Gabler” opens, Ellenstein plans to get started on the following season’s lineup. “When we close our final show, we’re in rehearsal for the first show of the next season,” Ellenstein said. “We have no off-time here.” The 34th season comes to a close with “Ain’t Misbehavin,’” which captures the golden age of jazz in 1920s and 1930s Harlem. The show runs July 13 through Aug. 7. Committed to promoting theater arts, North Coast Repertory Theatre produces
seven main stage productions each season. The nonprofit organization also offers a holiday show, four shows from its theater school, and about two dozen special events and variety nights. “We are extremely busy,” Ellenstein said. When selecting each season’s lineup, Ellenstein tries to include a little bit of everything, from classics to comedies. “I put together as eclectic a season as I can because I like to keep it varied and changed up so we never do anything that’s the same,” Ellenstein said. “I really try to mix it up. It’s like putting a jigsaw together when I pick a season.” North Coast Repertory Theatre’s 35th season starts in September with A.R. Gurney’s “The Cocktail Hour.” The comedy, which originally premiered in the 1980s at San Diego’s Old Globe Theatre, explores the world of upper-class families in the Northeastern United States. The play runs through Oct. 2. “It’s a charming play that I’ve always liked, so I thought that it was a really good way to kick off the season,” he said. The theater’s second show will be Neil Simon’s “Laughter on the 23rd Floor,” a comedy about Simon’s early career as a writer for Sid Caesar’s “Your Show of Shows.” The play will run Oct. 19 through Nov. 13. “It is perhaps Neil Simon’s funniest play,” said Ellenstein, who is acting in the play. “It’s got many, many belly laughs in it.” A finalist for the 2015 Pulitzer Prize, “Marjorie Prime” by Jordan Harrison is next SEE THEATRE, B12

J* Company stages Caribbean tale of hope, perseverance BY DAVID L. CODDON eet Asaka, Mother of the Earth. She’s one of four gods ruling over a Caribbean island in a spirited musical tale about the power of love and breaking down barriers. The show is “Once On This Island,” produced by J* Company Youth Theatre Group and opening May 13 at the Jewish Community Center in La Jolla. Its Asaka is 17-year-old Noga Tour, a senior at Canyon Crest Academy and a seasoned veteran of past J*Company productions including “West Side Story” and “Rent.” Tour calls the role of Asaka “a motherly, sassy part. She’s very loving, but it’s a behind-the-scenes kind of love.” Her big number is “Mama Will Provide,” in which Tour gets to exhibit her considerable singing and dancing talents. She’s one of about 50, plus a crew of a dozen, who are part of J*Company Youth Theatre’s staging of “Once On This Island,” a musical based on Rosa Guy’s novel “My Love, My Love: or The Peasant Girl,” which happens to be a
M
retelling of Hans Christian Anderson’s fairytale “The Little Mermaid.” The music and lyrics are by Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty, the songwriting duo that also composed “Seussical Jr.,” produced earlier this year by J*Company. The director then, as now with “Once On This Island,” is Joey Landwehr, the company’s artistic director the past 10 years. He acknowledges that a lot of people aren’t familiar with the show, which ran on Broadway from 1990 to 1991. “It won Tony Awards and it’s a beautiful piece and people have never heard of it,” Landwehr said, quickly adding that “Once On This Island,” among other things, delivers a potent message. “The theme of the show is really about how we need to, as a society, not allow ourselves to be sectioned off into silos or different races or classes. It’s perfect for what’s happening today in the political world. It speaks so well through the ages. We’re all one melting pot, especially here in America. We need to embrace that. “The goal of everything we
do here is to try to find what the theme is and how we can bring in what we discover in this play and use it to make the world a better place.” Besides looking for answers to inequities and injustices in the world, J*Company’s young performers’ athleticism is being tested. “Once On This Island’s” choreography is by San Diego luminary Michael Mizerany, who has collaborated on Landwehr productions before. “The dance that Michael Mizerany is doing is challenging these kids in ways they’ve never been challenged before,” said Landwehr. “It’s very earthbound and Africana. They walk out of rehearsal and say ‘I never knew I had a muscle here!’” Even with the challenges, “Once On This Island” is proving to be an exciting experience for Tour. “There’s a lot of intrinsic joy” to the musical,” she said. “The parts are all very bright and large.” On a bittersweet note for Tour, this will be her last time working with Landwehr as her director as she’ll be heading off to UCLA in the fall. “He gives us the artistic liberty to
find the roles in ourselves,” she reflected outside a recent rehearsal, ” and (emphasizes) that it should be our production. He’s incredibly supportive and he values the ensemble.” “Once On This Island” will run through May 22. Coming up next year for J*Company Youth Theatre Group: productions of “The Wiz” and “Ragtime.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Once On This Island,” plays matinees, evenings May 13-22 at the Garfield Theatre in the Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive.

He bravely fought the disease until he passed away, forever seven, in August 2008. In Max’s honor, his parents founded Max’s Ring of Fire (MROF), a non-profit organization dedicated to helping fight kids’ 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.

The play is set in the near future, a time when artificial intelligence has reached new heights, and lifelike robots provide companionship for the lonely. Also a San Diego premiere, the play will run from Jan. 11 to Feb. 5, 2017. “It’s really interesting and it’s really good,” Ellenstein said. “My audience will be intrigued by it.” Ellenstein will then direct Tony Kushner’s “The Illusion,” which was adapted from Pierre Corneille’s 17th century play, “L’Illusion Comique.” The play will run from Feb. 22 to March 19, 2017. “It’s a romantic, magical, swashbuckling and fun journey through a father’s search for his son,” explained Ellenstein, who once starred in the play. “It’s a very theatrical and exciting adventure — really what the theater does great.” On April 12, 2017, North Coast Repertory Theatre will open “Travels with My Aunt.” Four actors tackle more than 20 roles in the play, which is based on a novel by Graham Greene. The play will run through May 7. “It is funny and witty and unusual and unexpected,” said Ellenstein, who decided to direct the play after seeing a revival of the show in New York last year. In May 2017, the theater will present “The Spitfire Grill,” a musical based on a film by Lee David Zlotoff and directed by Jeffrey Moss. With the book and music by James Valcq, and the book and lyrics by Fred Alley, the musical is about the journey of a young woman just released from prison who decides to start her life anew in a rural Wisconsin town. The show will run May 31 through June 25, 2017. “It’s a simpler, charming, funny musical set in a café in rural Wisconsin,” Ellenstein said. “It’s got beautiful music. I’m going to need great singers for it because it’s great music.” The season is set to close with the San Diego premiere of Nagle Jackson’s “At this Evening’s Performance.” The play is a comedy about a bohemian theatre troupe that performs in an Eastern European police state. The show will run July 12 to Aug. 6, 2017. “It’s just very funny and SEE THEATRE, B15

Spring Maintenance Tips to Get Your Vehicle Up to 100% ahead of El Niño Every year it’s a good idea to incorporate maintenance on your vehicle as part of your general spring cleaning procedure. Potholes, frost heaves, and cold temperatures can all put your brakes, suspension, tires, and battery to the test. You should always make
a point to analyze your vehicle at least once a year to make sure that it’s running in top condition. Doing so can help you avoid a serious issue or being involved in a San Diego car accident. Use the following tips to stay on top of your vehicle’s maintenance this spring. No one wants to be caught in the heavy El Niño rains with an improperly maintained vehicle! Tire Pressure Make sure all your tires have been properly inflated and balanced. This little step goes a long way not just towards minimizing the chances of a flat tire, but it can also improve your gas mileage, too. Brakes Anytime the weather dips, it’s a good idea to look at your brake fluid, parking brake, hoses, and lines. Brake pad changes and
a total inspection of the brake system can go a long way towards helping you avoid accidents and serious issues this spring. In heavy rains, you rely on breaks in great shape to help you come to a stop quickly, even on slick surfaces, so don’t skip over this step. Plugs, Wires and Batteries These components of your vehicle have to work extra hard when it’s cold outside. Make sure you replace old or weak wires, plugs and batteries. Anything over three years old should be replaced completely. Wheel Alignment and Suspension Determine any leaks or wear on your shocks and struts before heading out on the road this spring and summer. Fluid Levels Don’t ignore your engine oil, brake fluid,
transmission fluid, anti-freeze or windshield washer fluid. The brake fluid flush can also be beneficial. Engine Filter When you’re getting your oil change, ask that the engineer filter be looked at carefully to determine whether it needs to be replaced. Hoses and Belts If your hoses are cracked, worn, soft, blistered or brittle, you should replace them. Anything over five years should be replaced even if it looks like it’s in relatively good condition. And finally, make sure you turn on those headlights in heavy rain! For additional tips, advice or legal help, contact us at 858-551-2090 or visit our website at https://seriousaccidents.com/.

The supermarket is a land mine: Part 1
ttention food shoppers! You are entering dangerous territory that requires careful maneuvering through aisles and shelves, and reading of labels to avoid toxic or unhealthy items. Safe food selections depend on noticing and being wise to the unpronounceable scientific names of carcinogenic or otherwise poisonous chemicals, dyes, additives, pesticides, hormones and antibiotics. The Kitchen Shrink to the rescue with a guide to defensive shopping:
That’s Greek (or Latin) to Me: The old adage, “If you can’t pronounce it, don’t eat it,” still applies, especially with the tongue-twisting names (derived from ancient Greek and Latin) of such notoriously toxic chemicals as: • butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA) and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) that are designed to extend shelf life even though they may shorten human life; • potassium bromate used to fluff up baked goods; • sodium nitrate that wallops the pancreas and liver, but preserves cured meats, such as hot dogs and cold cuts, while also infusing foods with unnatural but appetizing colors; and • monosodium glutamate or MSG, a neurotoxin that spikes the flavor of everything from soup to nuts, but triggers jack-hammer migraines, vision impairment, and even disorientation if consumed in larger quantities.

To Dye For: Save the electric shades of green, red, blue and yellow food coloring for Halloween décor and science experiments. Artificial dyes, including Blue #1 and #2, Green #3, Red #40, and Yellow #5 and #6, which are laced into snacks, cake frostings, candies, soft drinks and sugary cereals have been linked to various health risks from neurological and behavioral problems to certain cancers. If you still want to add vibrant eye candy to special confections or desserts — such as red velvet cupcakes — use natural food colorings extracted from red berries or beets for ruby hues, chlorella algae for flamboyant greens, elderberries for striking purples, turmeric for bright golden tones, and the butterfly pea for true blues. Be an Organic Fanatic: Not all organics are created equal. While we strive to look for the “9” that starts the code for organic designation on USDA labels affixed to fruits and vegetables, make sure you also check where they were grown. Safest and healthiest choice is to buy locally (or at least U.S.) sourced produce, since it is fresher, in season, and not having been transported over long distances has a small carbon footprint. Even more important: Foods carrying the “USDA Organic” stamp adhere to stricter codes and standards for organic certification than imported ones. The latter may also be toxic (in

spite of being ‘blessed’ with the “USDA Organic” logo) because of the environment in which they were produced. China’s organics, for example, are often contaminated because of that country’s heavily polluted air, water and soil. Can the Cans: Once thought to be inactive and thus harmless, the industrial chemical bisphenol A (i.e., BPA) used in the 1960s to make resins and plastics to prevent food contamination is still found today in the linings of aluminum cans, plastic bottles and other food storage containers. The venerable Mayo Clinic advises consumers to buy BPA-free products to avoid ingesting the chemical, which tends to leach into foods and liquids, especially when they have acidic content, such as tomatoes, pickles, etc.

BPA has been found to elevate blood pressure, increase risk for Alzheimer’s disease, breast and other cancers, and pose risks to the neurological and behavioral development of fetuses, infants and children. Solutions include using glass, porcelain and stainless steel containers and kitchenware. Pyrex and similar impermeable plates and bowls are microwave- and dishwasher-safe. Choose organic juices, vinegars, olive oils and other bottled products sold in glass jars or bottles instead of plastic. If you must buy canned foods — usually recommended as backups during hurricanes or earthquakes — look for cans marked “BPA-free.” I have seen Eden Organic products and some from Muir Glen and Wild Planet in such safer cans.
