SDUHSD candidates clash over signs

BY KAREN BILLING Two San Dieguito Union School District board candidates have questioned the practice of a number of teachers placing campaign signs in their cars while parked at school. Candidate Lucile Lynch brought the issue to the board’s attention following signs spotted at Earl Warren Middle School. Candidate Randy Berholtz said he feels turning a school parking lot into a “campaign battlefield” is unethical, and

said he may report it to the San Diego Ethics Commission.

“Can I park my car in that parking lot and put my campaign poster in the window?” Berholtz asked. “No, the only people who can are teachers, and in this case teachers are in a union and the union received a favorable contract from the board majority whose signs are in the teachers' cars parked on public property that taxpayers pay for.”

According to Interim Superintendent Eric Dill, the practice is legal. As soon as Dill heard about campaign signs at Earl Warren on Monday, Sept. 19, he checked with Principal Adam Camacho to ensure there were no signs physically posted at Earl Warren and there wasn’t any political activity happening inside a classroom.

In addition to signs in cars at Earl Warren, signs were visible in several cars at San Dieguito High School Academy before

the board meeting on Sept. 15, and one sign was spotted in a car in the Torrey Pines High School parking lot on Sept. 22.

“From a legal standpoint, this is no different than if the employees hadplaced bumper stickers on their cars advocating a political position,” Dill said. “Teachers generally have been permitted for many decades through case law to wear campaign buttons and other articles SEE SIGNS, A12

Proposed senior living facility faces concerns

BY KAREN BILLING Residents were able to air their concerns about about the proposed development of a senior living facility on Via de la Valle at the Sept. 21 meeting of the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board’s regional issues subcommittee.

The Hacienda del Mar project, with independent and assisted living and memory care units, is proposed on the 23.88-acre site next to the polo fields, currently a dirt lot.

Several residents from De la Valle Place across the street, as well as from Polo Place on the hillside above the property, said they are opposed to the “overbuilt” project’s density and complained that they have not been properly notified as the project moves through the city’s process.

Bret Bernard, the developer Milan Capital’s director of planning and development, said the city does have noticing requirements, but the project is not yet in that stage. They have just completed their second cycle of comments with the city planning department and they hope to resubmit in mid-October. Bernard said they expect the following six months to be spent SEE SENIORS, A12

SB council mulls Community Choice Aggregation program

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Solana Beach has long been a sustainable leader in San Diego County, having been the first in the region to ban single-use plastic bags and polystyrene food containers. Now the city is looking to create the county’s first local power program and has been searching for a service

provider to make that possible.

The city received proposals from three companies interested in helping Solana Beach create a Community Choice Aggregation program.

Governed by state laws, CCAs allow cities, counties and other authorized entities to purchase or generate alternative energy supplies for

residents and businesses within their jurisdiction while maintaining the existing power provider for transmission and distribution services.

“It is very complicated but we’re trying to work through it, and we’ve been working through it for quite some time,” Councilman Mike Nichols said after an update from staff

Del Mar council OKs content for city hall dedication plaque

BY KRISTINA HOUCK With the construction of the new Del Mar Civic Center now underway, the City Council recently approved recommended content for a dedication plaque.

Staff recommended that the dedication plaque for the new city hall feature content that is common in plaques for public facilities, including the facility name; date of construction competition or building dedication; seated elected officials at the time the project was approved and elected officials that oversaw the project through completion; key city staff that worked on the project; and the names

of the architecture firm and construction company. These types of plaques are typically made from bronze, according to the staff report.

The council unanimously gave city staff permission to proceed with the recommended content for the plaque, as part of the Sept. 19 consent calendar, a list of items approved with a single vote and no discussion.

Prior to the vote, however, Councilman Don Mosier suggested that staff only list the names of the council members involved in the project rather than their titles since there will be at least two overlapping councils and four mayors who have

participated in the process. He also asked that city staff be recognized.

“While we’re making a brass plaque, let’s make a big one and make sure we acknowledge everybody that should be on there,” he said.

City Manager Scott Huth said staff would present a paper mockup to council members prior to council’s final approval of the plaque.

City officials and community members kicked off the construction of the new civic center with a groundbreaking ceremony Sept. 19 at 1050 Camino del Mar. Construction is expected to be completed in spring 2018.

Two new faces to join water board after election

BY JOE TASH The Santa Fe Irrigation District, which provides water to residents and businesses in Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch, will see new faces on its five-member board of directors later this year, as two incumbent directors are stepping down from their seats and will be replaced by candidates running in the Nov. 8 election.

Two candidates each are running for the Div. 1 seat, now held by Greg Gruzdowich, and the Div. 2 seat, now occupied by Alan Smerican. Both incumbents opted not to seek new terms. Directors in the district are elected by division, and Gruzdowich’s division covers mostly Rancho Santa Fe, while Smerican’s is in Solana Beach.

The normally low-profile agency has been in the news quite a bit over the past year or two; first, as California grappled with a severe drought, the state published figures

showing that Rancho Santa Fe had the highest per capita water use in the state. Then, the district joined its fellow water agencies across the state in trying to achieve steep cuts in Robert Feher David Petree water use imposed by Gov. Jerry Brown and state regulators. Santa Fe’s state-mandated target was to reduce its water use by 36 percent in 2015, which it largely achieved.

Last year, the district commissioned a cost-of-service study, to determine its revenue needs in the coming years and apportion those costs fairly to customers. That study SEE WATER BOARD, A18

Friends of the Solana Beach Library presents Supervisor Roberts with proclamation

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although Supervisor Dave Roberts is often presenting proclamations to city officials, community organizations and others in the community, it was the local leader who recently received a proclamation of his own.

Friends of the Solana Beach Library on Sept. 22 thanked Roberts with a proclamation for his part in the library’s pending renovations.

“San Diego County Supervisor Dave Roberts has been a valued member of Friends of the Solana Beach Library, and has given time and energy to support our efforts to ensure our library has the resources it needs to provide services,” Mary Frumkin, president of Friends of the Solana Beach Library, said while reading the proclamation.

At the recommendation of Roberts, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors allocated a total of $400,000 for library renovations. The board voted over a two-year period, Roberts said, to help fund the project.

At the time, Roberts said it was the largest grant that he had approved in his time on the board.

“I have to make tough decisions and prioritize resources, but I knew that this was a special project, and I knew that it needed resources to really be the pinnacle project that we wanted it to be,” Roberts said.

A Solana Beach resident, Roberts is a longtime supporter of Friends of the Solana Beach Library and once served on the organization’s board of directors.

He said he was “pleased” to be able to support the Solana Beach Library, which he called a “special place.”

“This is the wave of the future — doing joint-use projects and really working to create opportunities like this,” Roberts said.

“It’s because of the people in the room here that we do things like this.”

After Roberts was presented with his proclamation, John Addleman, executive director of planning services with San Dieguito Union High School District, updated attendees on the renovation plans and schedule.

The Solana Beach branch of the San Diego County Library will be renovated as part of the reconstruction of Earl Warren Middle School.

Improvements to the shared library have been planned in cooperation with the county, city of Solana Beach and the Friends of the Solana Beach Library.

As part of the Earl Warren reconstruction project, the district is rebuilding Warren Hall, a multipurpose room shared by the school and library. Now called “The Cove,” the space will be divided into two roughly 1,200-square-foot spaces.

Construction on The Cove started in July 2015 and is expected to be completed in April 2017.

Renovation plans also call include two new community rooms. Also called study rooms, the spaces are each about 250 square feet. The current 140-square-foot Friends bookstore will be expanded to about 377 square feet. There will also be new carpeting and a new painting scheme throughout the library.

The school district is currently working with library staff to develop a new memorandum of understanding that will give the county library control of the two new community rooms during library hours.

The library will also have use of Cove 2, the section of The Cove closest to the library, during school hours. During non-school SEE DAVE ROBERTS, A18

Plant With Purpose to honor active Solana Beach volunteer Cindy Outlaw

BY KRISTINA HOUCK It all started with a few phone calls.

After traveling to Tanzania and summiting Mount Kilimanjaro in 2000, Solana Beach resident Cindy Outlaw decided she wanted to give back to the children of the East African country. During her trek she learned about the dilapidated state of school in her guide’s village and the lack of opportunities for education.

“I saw the needs of the children,” Outlaw said.

Once she returned home, Outlaw contacted Fred Schnitzer, who built schools in Africa, as well as her alma mater Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU). Outlaw, an avid mountain climber, met Schnitzer on a previous hike.

A year later, Outlaw returned to Tanzania with a group of PLNU students and constructed a school on the slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro. During the three-week trip, she was struck by the malnutrition she saw in the children and the deforestation of the local rainforest.

That’s when she called Plant With Purpose. The San Diego-based Christian nonprofit organization works to reverse deforestation and poverty around the world by transforming the lives of the rural poor.

“I’m here in my house in Solana Beach and I’ve lived in Southern California my whole life,” said Outlaw, who has successfully summited six of the world’s seven summits — the highest points on each continent. She plans to summit the seventh, Mount Everest, in May 2018.

“I really haven’t wanted for nothing,” she said. “I’ve always had food. I’ve always had a house. To live among people who have one meal a day, it tears your heart apart, especially when it’s children.”

After meeting with Executive Director Scott Sabin, Plant With Purpose’s board approved an exploratory trip in 2003, and one year later, launched its Tanzanian program. The program aims to provide long-term solutions to the root causes of rural poverty through activities such as community-based savings groups, leadership development, reforestation and sustainable agriculture training.

“It just hit my heart seeing kids who didn’t have enough to eat,” said Outlaw, who has traveled to Tanzania 14 times. “It was very fortunate the organization was here in San Diego.

They are so good at what they do.”

Founded in 1984, Plant With Purpose currently works in more than 495 communities in seven countries, including Burundi, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, the Dominican Republic, Haiti, Mexico, Tanzania, and Thailand.

The organization has planted more than 18.9 million trees worldwide.

The Tanzania program has acted as the launching point for country programs in Burundi and, most recently, the Democratic Republic of the Congo. A program in Ethiopia is scheduled to start in early 2017.

More than 8,000 families in over 500 villages have been impacted by the Tanzania program. In Tanzania alone, 7.5 million trees have been planted restoring farms and providing food for families in poverty.

“I just made a phone call and it grew,” Outlaw said.

Outlaw and her husband, Ed, raised their two children in Solana Beach, where they have lived for nearly 30 years.

Always active in the community, Outlaw volunteered in her children’s classrooms, served as a Girl Scout troop leader and taught Sunday school. Since her youngest child started college last fall, she has been a full-time volunteer.

In addition to her work with Plant With Purpose, Outlaw also currently volunteers with Summit Adventure, a Christian outdoor ministry with an emphasis on experiential education.

“So I’m starting a new career,” said Outlaw, mother of 23-year-old Molly and 19-year-old Ryan.

Since 2003, Outlaw’s work with Plant With Purpose has included launching the program in Tanzania, serving on the board of directors and co-chairing the Plant For Tomorrow expansion campaign. Through the campaign, she helped raise $3.5 million to expand the international development organization’s work into the Congo and Ethiopia.

In recognition of her work with the organization, Outlaw is receiving the Adrian Award for Exceptional Service on Oct. 8 at Plant With Purpose’s annual Planting Hope Gala at the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad.

“You volunteer because you feel a call to do that,” Outlaw said. “It’s my privilege to be able to impact a few lives.”

The Planting Hope Gala will feature a wine reception, live entertainment, three-course dinner, opportunity drawing, live and silent auction, village marketplace and more. As the organization’s largest annual fundraising event, previous Planting Hope Galas have raised $350,000.

The event starts at 5:30 p.m. Tickets cost $125 per person or $950 for a table of eight.

“You can impact the lives of thousands of people around the world,” Outlaw said about volunteering with Plant With Purpose. “You can make a better life for people that really have limited opportunities.”

Thrive rescues 67 dogs stranded by Louisiana floods

BY KAREN BILLING San Diego was “Flooded with Love” last week when local organization Thrive Animal Rescue brought 67 dogs saved from the devastating floods in Louisiana on a Wings of Love freedom flight. The animals arrived on Friday, Sept. 23 at Gillespie Field and will be up for adoption into forever homes in a week.

Thrive Animal Rescue was founded two and half years ago by Cece Bloum, who has lived on her Carmel Valley Newmarket Farms for over 20 years.

Thrive’s biggest-ever rescue effort began after Bloum’s friend Jan Percival-Lipscomb and her daughter Shaney, a senior at Cathedral Catholic, traveled to Louisiana to volunteer to help after the flood.

Percival-Lipscomb said because it wasn’t a hurricane event and it just didn’t stop raining, many areas that never flooded were unexpectedly filled with water and people had to pack up their cars and race for their lives. A lot of animals got left behind.

For three “life-changing” days, mother and daughter worked in an animal shelter.

“I don’t think a lot of people in San Diego were aware of the devastation and the impact on people, and on pets,” Percival-Lipscomb said, who contacted Thrive to continue to help. “I know that Thrive is so big-hearted and willing to go out on a limb. I knew they would take a chance, and they did.”

Thrive put a short video together and

March of Dimes gala raising funds to ensure more healthy babies

BY KAREN BILLING The San Diego Chapter of the March of Dimes will hold its annual Signature Chefs Gala on Sunday, Oct. 2 at 4 p.m. at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The fundraiser is a “supper by the bite” experience from San Diego’s top chefs. Guests will enjoy a variety of culinary offerings paired with signature libations while raising funds to support the March of Dimes mission to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality.

The Chefs Gala, chaired by San Diego philanthropists Jennifer and Robert Van Gramins, will include entertainment, live and silent auctions and an opportunity to further the critical mission of the March of Dimes.

Every year, 15 million babies are born prematurely worldwide, and one million will die before their first birthday. March of Dimes helps fund research, education, advocacy and programs that help more moms have full-term pregnancies and healthy babies.

Guests of the gala will hear first-hand the impact that March of Dimes has had on the lives of families in San Diego, including this year’s ambassador Nicole Gleeson, a Rancho Santa Fe resident.

Gleeson was 15-weeks pregnant with her first baby, she had just gotten married and was excited to start her family with her husband, Brent, when she received a shocking phone call about her first trimester blood work. She was told

something was wrong and she needed to come in right away.

The Gleesons learned that their daughter had Gastroschisis, a birth defect where her abdominal wall did not close all the way, leaving her intestines exposed. It would require immediate surgery after birth in order to correct the problem.

“It was horrible,” Gleeson said of the diagnosis. “My whole pregnancy was constant monitoring and planning for the birth and immediate surgery. It was so stressful.”

While physicians had told her not to look online at photos of babies with Gastroschisis, Gleeson felt like she needed

to know more. The first website that popped up in her search was March of Dimes and their research on the birth defect. March of Dimes helped her become more informed and connected her with a support group.

At just 37 weeks, Gleeson went into labor and her daughter, Parker Rose, was born at UC San Diego.

“I didn’t even get to hold her,” Gleeson said. “She entered the world and immediately went into surgery.”

Parker would require a 25-day stay in the NICU (neonatal intensive care unit).

It wasn’t until a week after she was born that her parents got to hold her for the

very first time.

Just after Parker Rose was born, the Gleesons participated in the March for Babies Walk, raising money for the cause.

As March of Dimes saw Nicole Gleeson’s active participation, they contacted her about getting more involved with the organization.

“For me it was just a great way to find the silver lining of what we were going through, to turn our energy into something positive,” Gleeson said, who served on this year’s gala committee.

At age 1, Parker Rose had a second surgery at Rady Children’s Hospital because she had a block in her intestines. It has been a whirlwind, Gleeson said, but Parker Rose is now a happy and healthy 2-and-ahalf-year-old, attending the Village Church Preschool, learning tennis at The Bridges and taking good care of her baby dolls.

“We were very lucky,” Gleeson said.

Parker Rose is a reminder of why March of Dimes is important to families, fighting for them through research, vaccines, education, community programs and advocacy to make sure one day, every baby can have a healthy start.

“Everything March of Dimes does, with research and awareness, it really is important and saves thousands of babies’ lives out there,” Gleeson said.

Working for no pay puts local man on path to prosperity restaurant’s bathrooms, where he gave Yim cleaning supplies and left him to his work.

Yim began scrubbing away.

“An hour later, he came and looked surprised and impressed, and said, ‘Chun Yim, you’ve got a job,’” Yim said.

The story provided Yim with the title of his self-published memoir, “I Will Work for Nothing,” which came out in 2015 and is available on Amazon.com.

After college, Yim started his first business, an Encinitas burger joint, with a $5,000 bank loan and an eye for a good deal – he acquired all of the equipment he needed for $1,000 from a defunct downtown San Diego eatery.

He went on to own or operate such diverse businesses as a string of Hallmark greeting card shops, Hilton brand hotels, manufacturing and distribution businesses and shopping centers.

A guest lecturer at UCSD and SDSU (Yim later went on to obtain both an MBA and a doctorate in business management), Yim said he tells students that “attitude is everything.”

“That’s my secret,” he said. “The willing heart, to give, to share, the positive, enthusiastic attitude.”

Yim is proud that during his business career, he has never sued anyone, nor has he been sued. “I get along with everybody. I don’t have any enemies in the whole world.

That is such a joy,” he said.

Charlie Yim with his memoir “I Will Work for Nothing.”

Yim and Gloria, his wife of 47 years, have two grown daughters. After they met and married, she worked as a school teacher and principal for the Oceanside school district.

Later, they shared their success with others through the Chun and Gloria Yim Family Foundation, established under the auspices of the San Diego Foundation.

“The Yims are role models because their desire to give back comes straight from the heart, having lived with nothing, and knowing that a helping hand along the way can change a life,” wrote Leslie Harrington, philanthropic adviser with the San Diego Foundation, in an email. “Also, Charlie has a remarkable sense of humor, one of his many attributes that make him a joy to work with.”

The Yims’ foundation benefits the local Korean American community, as well as children facing hardships around the globe,

Harrington wrote.

Yim said he and his wife have also supported medical research, and provided scholarships for college students.

“Giving is a habit,” said Yim, explaining his thoughts on philanthropy. “We came here empty handed and when we leave, we leave empty handed.”

The couple has also established a legacy foundation to continue their philanthropic work after they are gone.

Yim’s positive outlook was tested when his wife was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease about 10 years ago. But he seems to approach his wife’s illness with his characteristic upbeat nature.

“Every time I see my wife, she smiles and says ‘I love you,’ and it’s such a huge blessing to me,” Yim said. “We live life once, why don’t we love and embrace everybody with peace and love?”

DA ON YS LY LE 2 FT !

BY JOE TASH With little money and poor English conversational skills, Chun “Charlie” Yim found doors closed to him as he looked for a job to pay for his business studies at San Diego State University. That’s when he hit on the idea of working for free.

Yim, then in his 20s, had recently emigrated to the United States from his native Korea. He came to San Diego to visit his cousin after a stint working in Hawaii as a trainer of Peace Corps volunteers on their way to Korea.

When he decided to stay in San Diego instead of following his original plan to accept a scholarship and attend college in Michigan, he began looking for work. But even though he was accompanied by another Korean student who spoke excellent English, he found few takers.

In near desperation, he approached the manager of an on-campus restaurant.

“I told him I would work for nothing, he looked at me funny, with suspicion,” said Yim, 74, a Rancho Santa Fe resident who went on to launch more than 30 businesses and conduct dozens of real estate transactions during a successful entrepreneurial career.

“I wanted to get a job, somehow, some way,” said Yim. Working for free, he said, was “the only way I could prove how good of a worker I was.”

The skeptical manager led Yim to the

High school students participate in summer service projects in Latin America Applications accepted in October for next summer Amigos de las Américas (AMIGOS) announced the return of San Diego-area high school students from summer service projects in Latin America. The 34 local participants were among students from nine San Diego county high schools who joined over 500 other young adults from across the United States and other countries to lead public health, education and environmental projects in Costa Rica, the Dominican Republic, Ecuador, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panama and Paraguay.

While in country, the participants were paired with partners from the U.S. or another Latin American country. Two or three AMIGOS live in each community with different host families. Often likened to a mini-Peace Corps, the participants work with their communities to identify and implement community-based initiatives such as construction of libraries, playgrounds, latrines, community gardens, and fuel-efficient stoves, and water storage tanks, bus stops, recycling systems or health education programs. Participants also led youth-to-youth projects to promote healthy social development, improve leadership skills and foster creative expression of young people in their host communities.

The AMIGOS participants trained and fundraised for months to prepare for their community service assignments in Latin America. The training program provided

the participants with the skills needed to meet the challenges of conducting community service programs with confidence and cultural sensitivity, both in their home communities and in Latin America.

Founded in 1965, AMIGOS is a national nonprofit organization that provides opportunities for young people to simultaneously develop leadership and decision-making skills while making a positive difference in the health and well-being of communities. The San Diego Chapter is affiliated with the AMIGOS National Office in Houston, Texas.

“For many participants, their summer in Latin America is a life-changing event, challenging them to view the world in new ways and providing them with unparalleled leadership skills.”

For information on how students can participate in next summer’s program, please visit the AMIGOS websites: amigosinternational.org (View descriptive program video) and sandiego.amigosinternational.org Interested students, along with a parent or guardian, should attend one of the following October information sessions at the Encinitas Community Center, 1140 Oakcrest Park Drive, Encinitas: Sunday, Oct.2 at 2 p.m.; Thursday, Oct. 13 at 6:30 p.m.; Saturday, Oct. 29 at 2 p.m. Please note applications, interviews, and selection of Summer 2017 Participants all take place in October 2016.

Canyon Crest Academy student completes Girl Scout Silver Award

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Having recently donated dozens of toiletries to victims of domestic violence, Canyon Crest Academy freshman Devin Jansen successfully completed her Girl Scout Silver Award. The Girl Scout Silver Award is the highest award a Girl Scout Cadette can earn.

“Domestic violence is a huge problem in the community,” said 14-year-old Devin, who lives in Carmel Valley. “We should do whatever we can to help stop it.”

In 2014, there were 16,897 domestic violence incidents reported to law enforcement in San Diego County, a 2 percent increase from the prior year, according to SANDAG. In an effort to raise awareness about domestic violence and support the victims, Devin started working on her Girl Scout Silver Award project two years ago, while she was still at Carmel Valley Middle School.

As the founder of Confident Chicks, a COURTESY middle school club that promoted Devin Jansen self-confidence, she worked with the club in seventh and eighth grades to collect toiletries she would later donate to Becky’s House.

More recently, Devin held a drive Aug. 24 at Sage Canyon School’s park, where she collected shampoo, conditioner, soap, lotion and other toiletries. She promoted the drive through Nextdoor, a social network for neighborhood communities.

“I was so shocked,” said Devin, who completed 50 hours of work on the project. “I got a lot of responses. A lot of people were really interested and wanted to help out.”

Devin decided she would donate to Becky’s House after researching local programs for victims of domestic violence.

YWCA of San Diego County’s Becky’s House domestic violence programs offer a safe haven for women, men and children to overcome trauma, improve their economic status, and ultimately achieve self-sufficiency. The programs include a 24-hour domestic violence hotline, an emergency shelter and multiple transitional housing communities along with supportive services.

“I wanted to help people in my community,” Devin said. “I noticed an immediate demand for toiletries. Since they’re leaving in such a hurry, the women and children don’t have time to grab the necessities. I think the toiletries will help them create a healthy lifestyle.”

Devin dropped off her collected donations at Becky’s House on Sept. 1. She said the estimated retail value of the donation was $300.

“The feeling of helping those women and children start a better life felt really good,” Devin said. “I feel really grateful for all that I have, and I felt really lucky to be able to help these women and children.”

City of Del Mar’s Draft Sea-Level Rise Adaptation Plan completed

The City of Del Mar has completed the Draft Sea-Level Rise Adaptation Plan that will serve as the City’s long-range planning guide and address future sea-level rise and its effects on storm surge, coastal flooding and erosion. The draft Plan draws from prior works such as the Draft Coastal Hazards, Vulnerability, and Risk Assessment (CHVR) — a study guided by the City’s Sea-Level Rise Stakeholder Technical Advisory Committee (STAC) — and the California Coastal Commission’s Sea Level Rise Policy Guidance for addressing Sea-Level Rise in Local Coastal Programs. The draft Adaptation Plan is available for review at: www.delmar.ca.us/sealevelrise.

The draft Plan provides a framework for the City to manage risks and take actions based on specific triggers, and for monitoring sea-level rise and its effects. It provides the City with multiple adaptation scenarios toward managing risks rather than prescribing a specific plan of action.

Environmental Science Associates (ESA), the consulting firm that had worked on the CHVR, prepared the draft Adaptation Plan, which will be eventually integrated in the City’s Local Coastal Programs (LCP).

Funding for the Sea Level Rise Assessment and Adaptation Plan was provided by a generous grant from the Ocean Protection Council working in collaboration with the California Coastal Commission.

The draft Plan identifies four vulnerable areas — North Beach District Coastal flooding and beach erosion, Bluff erosion, San Dieguito River flooding and San Dieguito Lagoon wetlands —and lists multiple paths to manage, control or mitigate erosion and flooding in the City.

The draft Adaptation Plan will be revised in response to comments from the public and California Coastal Commission. For more information on Administrative Draft Sea-Level Rise Adaption Plan, please visit: www.delmar.ca.us/sealevelrise.

SDJA student devoted to helping Israeli orphans

BY KAREN BILLING For her 11th birthday, Rancho Santa Fe’s Bella Silberstein decided she didn’t need any presents: she already felt blessed. Instead of gifts, the San Diego Jewish Academy sixth grader requested that guests of her Sept. 18 birthday party make a donation to Lev Lalev, a girls orphanage in Israel that she has been supporting for the past two years.

Twelve of Bella’s party guests on Sept. 18 made donations in her name to the orphanage.

“It made me feel better because I didn’t get presents,” Bella said. “I learned from school to be a mensch and to give back to the world. If you’re really blessed, you should make sure other lives are blessed as well.”

Bella was 9 years old when she first learned about Lev Lalev (Heart to Heart), when a friend of her sister’s donated her Bat Mitzvah money to the orphanage.

For 54 years, Lev Lalev has provided girls with a safe, warm and loving home. The orphanage takes infants to late teenagers whose parents have been killed in terrorist

attacks or war and provides individualized therapy, mentoring and tutoring to enable girls to grow past their traumatic histories and “develop into well-adjusted, self-sufficient and productive citizens of Israel.”

“The first thing she asked me about the girls when she heard about the orphanage was, ‘Who tucks them in at night?’” said mom Heidi, who was understandably touched by her child’s question. “It was so upsetting to her, when I told her there was nobody. For Bella, that really resonated with her as a child.”

On her own initiative, Bella wanted to make some money for the orphanage and started making bracelets on her Rainbow Loom.

Her parents had no idea what she was up to until she came into their room one day armed with 20 bracelets, telling them she would like to sell them as a fundraiser for Lev Lalev. She made and sold a total of 50 bracelets, donating $450 to Lev Lalev, which they used to buy 12 winter coats for the girls.

Lev Lalev thanked her with photos and letters. Bella feels so connected

COURTESY

Bella Silberstein works on Rosh Hashanah cards she is selling as a fundraiser for Lev Lalev, an Israeli orphanage. to the girls, she has their photos taped up in her bedroom so she can see them every day.

“It makes me feel proud that I did that and glad that I could help them get a better life,” Bella said. “I want to make sure they get to dance, sing and do volleyball and all of the fun things that I get to do.”

In addition to her birthday gift wish, Bella is also making Rosh Hashanah cards to sell and use that money to buy more items for the girls in the orphanage. She has already taken orders for cards and one of her few birthday gifts was some glitter and art supplies to help decorate the cards.

Bella will have her Bat Mitzah in Israel in the summer of 2018 so her

ultimate goal is to be able to visit the girls then and have them join in on the celebration.

Her parents, Russell and Heidi, are continually impressed by their shy and humble daughter, who has told them she wished she had a real job so she could make more money to give to the girls.

“It’s amazing that she has the confidence to do something like this, to be selfless and giving, and that she does it in her sweet, quiet way,” Heidi said.

“It really shows that one person can make a difference,” Russell said.

“Can you imagine what she can do when she’s older? Like 14?”

The Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society invites its members and all who are interested to attend its second meeting of the 2016 – 2017 year. The Oct. 7 meeting will be a presentation by the League of Women Voters. A team of two members of the League will present an explanation and discussion of the California State Ballot Measures that will appear on the Nov. 8 ballot. There are 17 qualified ballot measures at this time and their volunteers hope to be able to discuss most of them, time permitting.

Among topics to be discussed about each ballot measure are an explanation of the question that the ballot measure is asking of the voter, background information on the measure, what the measure proposes to accomplish, the fiscal effect of the measure, the supporters and opponents of the measure, and arguments both in favor and against each measure. Questions will be taken from the audience. The evening will begin at 5 p.m. with a social time, and will take place at the Fletcher Cove Community Center, 133 Pacific Avenue, Solana Beach.

Carmel Valley coach shares love of triathlon with kids

BY KAREN BILLING In June, Carmel Valley triathlete and duathlete Judi Carbary, 66, placed third in her age group at the 2016 International Triathlon Union (ITU) Duathlon World Championships in Aviles, Spain.

Three weeks later she was in Bend, Oregon to compete in the USA Triathlon Duathlon National Championships and placed fourth in her age group, qualifying her to compete in the 2017 ITU Multisport World Championships in Penticton, British Columbia.

Carbary said the 2017 event will be exciting — it will be the first to feature a week of races in all of the events in the triathlon family, including the duathlon, triathlon, cross-triathlon (trail running and mountain biking), aquathlon (run-swim-run) and aquabike (swim-bike).

As passionate as Carbary is about competing, she is even more passionate about growing the sport of triathlon. She is a USA Triathlon-certified kids’ triathlon team coach and the founder of the SoCal Youth Triathlon Series for athletes ages 7-15 years old.

“I keep racing to be a role model and inspire the kids, even though it’s hard to fit in,” said Carbury, a retired pediatric and family nurse practitioner. She schedules all of her

races around her team’s training schedules, meaning this year she only had two lead-up events before the championships.

The June event was Carbary’s sixth World Championships but she hadn’t competed at one for 13 years.

“I trained really hard but I was just going to do it for the fun of it, I had no idea how I’d do,” Carbary said.

“My daughter came with me and she got to see me on the podium.”

Carbary competed at the sprint duathlon distance: a 5K run, followed by a 20.5K bike portion and wrapped up with another 2.5K of running.

In Spain, she rented a bike although they didn’t have the race wheels they promised they would have —Carbary had to roll with it.

“We were told the course was going to be flat but only the first two miles were — it was rolling hills and lots of turns,” Carbary said.

Despite the unexpected challenges, she said it was a pretty course, with the run portion taking her past parks and riverfront and the bike portion was a cool, mid-60s ride through the city. She said it was amazing to get on the podium with her proud daughter watching.

After Spain, she only had 10 days to train before the Duathlon Nationals in Oregon on June 25.

That course was mostly uphill and

during the two runs, her challenge was to keep well-hydrated.

Recently she competed in the San Diego Triathlon Classic on Sept. 10 where she won her age group.

“I’ve been having a good year,”

said Carbary, who said she was able to overtake her age group’s leader on the last mile of the run.

Carbary has one more race in her 2016 season, the Esprit de She duathlon in San Diego on Oct. 16.

A triathlete and duathlete for 32 years, Carbary started out by running recreationally in college and did her first triathlon in Pennsylvania in 1985.

“I didn’t know what I was doing at all,” she admits. “It didn’t start until 11 a.m. and I had heard about carbo loading so I had an all-you-can-eat breakfast. I could only side-stroke, I didn’t know how to swim and it was a rollercoaster bike course, I was scared to death. But I did really well and it hooked me.”

Carbary said she continued on, teaching herself how to swim.

Biking for a long time was her strength but now she is finding that she is running faster than many in her age group.

“I’m self-motivated and I do it because it’s fun to train and race with your friends,” said Carbary, who has made many lifelong friends on Team USA. Eventually she became certified by USA Triathlon as a youth and junior coach because she felt like she had something to offer to others. When Carbary moved to San Diego from SEE TRIATHLETE, A16

FROM SIGNS, A1 of clothing of a political nature provided the message does not disrupt the educational environment.”

Dill said students also share the same rights.

“Employees are not permitted to post flyers or signs in classrooms or on buildings, or otherwise actively engage in political activities during the hours of employment,” Dill said. “We do, as a practice, remove any political signs that spring up on any of our properties during election seasons. If anyone plants a yard sign along any of our frontage, it doesn't last for very long.”

Dill’s explanation did not satisfy Berholtz.

“Regardless of the likely legality of this practice, the issue remains whether the board majority members running for re-election should condone the use of the district staff’s use of school property to support their own candidacy,” Berholtz said. “Clearly the incumbent board members have no problem with it, but I’d like to think our schools should be free from this type of political grandstanding for the sake of the students and their parents.”

The SDUHSD election features five candidates vying for two spots on the board. Not all of the candidates agree with Berholtz’s position.

“I’m not sure what Mr. Berholtz sees as unethical,” said candidate Bob Nascenzi.

“The First Amendment protects a teacher’s right to express their opinion on matters of public concern outside the classroom. Mr. Dill is correct in stating that case law protects this right as long as it does not provoke a substantial disruption of school activities.”

Candidate Beth Hergesheimer, the

current board president, said she was reminded of instances in the past when student publications produced material that some felt crossed a line but was determined to be within their first amendment rights.

“In those instances, their instructors, and we as a board, had to permit their free speech rights and choices,” Hergesheimer said. “Our teachers are aware of, and practicing their rights, and as long as they work within permissible boundaries – not disrupting the educational environment – campaign messages in their cars appear to be allowed.”

Candidate Joyce Dalessandro agreed.

“While some might disagree with signs that have appeared in the windows of private vehicles in some school parking lots, it happens that it is within the First Amendment rights of the owners of those cars to display them,” Dalessandro said.

“Liking the signs, or not, becomes irrelevant; I certainly wouldn't take a stand in opposition to our Constitution's freedom of expression guarantee.”

Only Lynch agreed with Berholtz that the signs were inappropriate. Lynch said she does not believe school parking lots should be used as “political arenas” and said they should be neutral zones rather than a zone that could create political divide among families and teachers. Lynch said she has advised her supporters not to use school parking lots, but not all have complied.

“I do believe allowance of this practice creates an appearance of impropriety, given that the incumbent board members are ultimately in charge of hiring and firing decisions and governance of school properties,” Lynch said. “As a parent of a child in the district, I would prefer for schools to be a safe haven for learning, not campaigning.”

FROM PROGRAM, A1 “unprioritized” environmental sustainability issue to study in 2012. The issue was elevated to a “priority” in the council’s work plan the following year.

Earlier this year a company conducted a technical study at no cost that indicated a CCA is a viable option for the city.

“The technical analysis that we had prepared demonstrates that it is feasible, regardless of the size (of the city),” City Manager Greg Wade said. “It’s not unusual for an energy load comparable to ours to use a CCA or direct access to purchase cleaner energy and reduced rates.”

There are a number of CCAs operating in California and other states.

There are currently four established CCAs in California, including Marin Clean Energy, which launched in 2010 and now covers Marin and Napa counties, as well as several cities within the counties. Sonoma Clean Power launched in 2014, and currently covers Sonoma County and several cities within the county. The city of Lancaster launched Lancaster Choice Energy last year, and the County and City of San Francisco launched Clear Power SF this year. Finally, San Mateo County is launching Peninsula Clean Energy in October.

Other jurisdictions are currently exploring CCAs and are in various stages of forming programs. It is estimated that more than 70 percent of the current energy load in California is in areas that either have an existing CCA

FROM SENIORS, A1 on a full environmental impact report before the formal review process begins.

Residents off De la Valle Place, like those living in the Coral Canyon neighborhood, live in San Diego County not city and wanted to make sure their voices would be heard in the process.

Milan Capital took over from the previous developers close to three years ago and has been working with the planning board and various residents to help shape the project.

“We wanted to plan it from the outside in, not from the inside out,” Bernard said.

The previous plan was denser, with 225 units spread out across the entire property in casitas, leaving no view corridors, Bernard said. The new project will have just 38 percent lot coverage, with the development clustered on the eastern side of the property, tucked against the hill with about 150 units in a mixture of one- and two-story buildings. Eleven acres of the site, on the western side closest to El Camino Real, will be left as open space.

The city has requested that the architecture pick up on surrounding neighborhoods. As Bernard said, there is a mixture of Mediterranean, Tuscan, Spanish, modern and ranch around them, so they decided to pull the Tuscan elements from the Gatlin Development building across the street with their design. Preliminary architecture includes stone, archways and earth tones with the massing broken up by angling the buildings and with the use of landscaping and trees.

The project will require about 10 to 12 feet of fill to get the project out of the floodplain —several residents expressed concerns about the water as the site fills with water nearly every time it rains. Bernard said they expect to handle water better than it is being handled currently.

For staff and resident parking, Hacienda del Mar plans to be 80 spaces over the city’s required parking — as Bernard explained, senior housing has the lowest amounts of trips generated, far less than any other use and additionally less demand at peak traffic hours.

One resident pointed out that it will still generate more traffic than if there were just five estate homes on

program or are looking into establishing a CCA program, according to the city staff report.

According to the report, the goal of a CCA is to provide a higher percentage of renewable energy at competitive and potentially cheaper rates while giving customers local choices and promoting the development of renewable power sources.

Some residents who have been following the process said they support the current proposal.

“I would urge the council to move ahead with the CCA,” said Judy Hegenauer, who currently serves on the city’s Climate Action Commission. “We have been talking about it for years.”

“I’ve known about the possibility of a CCA for a while,” agreed resident Kelly Harless. “I don’t feel like this has been something that’s been kept secret from the public. It didn’t come out of a vacuum. There are a lot of people who have been interested in exploring the option of a CCA.” “Choice generates competition, and competition helps to keep the costs down,” said Mary Yang, also a member of the Climate Action Commission. “I believe that it’s very good to have a choice in our energy providers.”

Still, others in the community have raised questions and concerns about the city’s plan to create a CCA program, which council members acknowledged.

“I think a lot of people are kind of shocked and do not know what’s coming,” Councilwoman Ginger Marshall said. “I think maybe the cart was put in front of the horse as far as the community outreach. I was kind of

the property.

Cory Hao, a resident of Polo Place, said the concerns of the seven homeowners associations in the Rancho Del Mar area are all surrounding the environmental review.

Hao said he believes the project is subject to Proposition A, passed in 1985, which states that any development on agriculturally-zoned land is to be very low-density housing or equestrian use. Development any more intensive than that must go to a vote for approval.

Over the past few years, the planning board and the developers have had lots of discussions about Prop A. In 2012, the San Diego Planning Commission weighed in, finding in favor of the developers that a continuing care facility is consistent with an “intermediate care facility,” a use that was allowed in the zone before 1984 and should be allowed without a vote, only a land development code amendment.

At the time, the planning board disagreed with the finding.

“This is something that’s bedeviled us for many years,” said subcommittee co-chair Anne Harvey. “The agricultural zones, the city put them on properties in order to keep it relatively un-urbanized, providing a break in urbanization… Open space and agricultural zones don’t mean you can’t build anything.”

Bernard noted that the development is at about 9.94 percent of site coverage, under the Prop A standard of 10 percent, and under what five estate homes would be.

Reviewing the proposed architecture, Carmel Valley Planning Board Chair Frisco White encouraged them to keep an open mind and perhaps pick up inspiration from the river valley so it won’t just look like a bigger version of the Gatlin building.

“This is a big development,” White said. “Be creative with that development so we can end up with something that everyone can be proud of.”

Another resident said Tuscan is beginning to look very dated, like “green shag carpeting.” She requested they do something fresher, beachy and lighter like the coastal-modern style.

The developers plan to return to the planning board for review, possibly at the Oct. 27 meeting as the board is dark in November and December.

surprised that that hasn’t already started. It feels like we’re so far down the road.”

Marshall said some residents she has spoken with thought the city was replacing SDG&E as the energy provider. They also believe that if the city forms a CCA and they opt out, their rates would increase.

“There are a lot of unanswered questions,” said Marshall, noting that the technical analysis was conducted by a company who was trying to land a contract with the city.

“They had a financial interest in painting a rosy picture without any cons,” she added. “It would be nice to hear all sides.”

Wade clarified that customers will have the option to opt out before or after a CCA is launched. He also noted that the firm that conducted the free feasibility study is “no longer an entity” and did not submit a proposal to the city.

Still, Marshall said she remains a bit skeptical.

“If something sounds too good to be true it generally is,” she said. “I’ve heard nothing negative. There’s got to be some sort of risk.”

Resident Melissa Wilken agreed.

“I’m not against it. In fact, who would be?”

Wilken said. “It fits in right with our city’s model. … But after doing my own research online … it’s almost impossible to get straight answers.”

She asked the council to outreach to the community before making a decision.

“I just implore you to please take your time, please engage us as a community and let us be involved in this,” she said.

In June, Solana Beach became the first city in the county to formally seek a service provider to form a CCA when it solicited a request for proposals.

The city received three bids from 3 Phases Renewables; prime contractor Pilot Power Group Inc. and sub-contractor EDMS; and prime contractor The Energy Authority and sub-contractor Noble Energy Solutions.

If the city launches a CCA program, city staff explained that SDG&E would continue to provide transmission, maintenance and billing services. A recent court decision, however, is allowing the company to form an independent marketing division to publicly oppose CCAs. “Therefore, it may be prudent to get a consultant on board soon to begin the outreach activities,” Assistant City Manager Dan King said.

The city internally reviewed the three proposals. King said an independent group of experts will also review the proposals before city staff returns to council with a recommendation.

The selected consultant would help develop, finance, launch and operate a power system without impacting or risking any city funds, according to the request for proposals. Still, Mayor David Zito said the council will not make an immediate decision.

“This is a complicated topic and we do need to take our time going through it,” Zito said.

“We’re likely talking about nine to 12 months, which I think is a pretty good amount of time with a lot of opportunity to have review and input in the interim.”

PREP FOOTBALL

Falcons subdue Wolverines

BY WALTER BAYS On its first possession in the Sept. 23 game against the Westview Wolverines, Torrey Pines drove the length of the field converting two fourth downs to take an early lead. Luke Duerr picked up one first down, then later on 4th and 3 quarterback Miles Hastings hit Scotty Gange for 25 yards, first and goal, and Duerr carried it into the end zone. The extra point was missed and the Falcons were up 6-0. After that there was no score until a wild fourth quarter, which is not to say that nothing happened in the tense battle of field position.

Westview picked up just 5 first downs through 3 quarters, two of those on penalties. Andre Mieiers diagnosed a screen pass forcing the Wolverines 3 and out. Gabe Gmyr, Jacob Schneider, and Yujay Kurosu each made tackles ending two drives, and Kevin Misak three.

Late in the second quarter with the Falcons pinned back on their 5, Duerr gained enough breathing room to allow a decent punt, so Westview had 35 yards to cover in the last two minutes. After a 9yard sack by Misak, Westview took to the air and Mieiers deflected two passes in the corner of the end zone to deny them a score before halftime.

With 3 minutes in the third quarter Westview got an opportunity when a

personal foul penalty gave them first down across midfield. Westview quarterback Beau Nelson had fumbled a high snap and players were diving for the ball.

Unfortunately for the Falcons, Nelson got there first and Schneider’s dive carried him into Nelson, drawing the flag. Then on 3rd and 6 Misak sacked Nelson and Westview punted.

On the next series Schneider was right back in the Wolverine backfield, causing a fumble recovered by Torrey Pines. Duerr picked up 15 yards and a first down, then Gmyr ran 20 yards to make it 13-0. On the kickoff Chris Temby shed a block to tackle the returner as he caught the ball on the 12.

Kurosu got another sack, Westview punted, and Mieiers slipped tacklers for a good return putting Torrey Pines on the Wolverine 28.

A couple of plays later it looked like Duerr was stopped for a short gain. That’s how it looked to Westview. That’s not how it looked to Duerr who runs over anyone who fails to make certain he’s on the ground, and he went 20 yards for a touchdown, 20-0. With 2:46 Westview was throwing it long, and Tanner Watkins intercepted to the 19. Ty Helfrich carried to the 2, 1st and goal, then punched it in for the final score, 27-0.

Torrey Pines has a 4-1 record and plays next at home Oct. 7 against San Marcos, a 2015 Division 1 quarter-finalist.

OUR READERS WRITE A Del Mar Trifecta?

There has been a lot of talk lately about the crackdown on people crossing the train tracks to access Del Mar’s beaches, and a lot of ideas offered to find a solution. But one idea seems to be missing: move the tracks!

In their dreams, our regional planners at SANDAG want to do just that, but in the exact wrong way: they want to dig double tunnels under Del Mar’s main street – Camino del Mar. But that will cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and likely so disrupt commerce in Del Mar that sales and property taxes and ticket revenues will plummet and remain deeply depressed for many years. It is not beyond imagination that Del Mar could face bankruptcy, or have to levy onerous special taxes on homeowners to cover the losses caused by the tunneling.

What if we had a better vision, one that not only solves the immediate track-crossing problem, but also envisions a better way to move the tracks? What if that vision could save taxpayers a billion dollars or more? And what if that vision included converting the old railroad right-of-way into a signature regional asset – a Pacific Coast Bikeway?

It’s a big vision, but one with only winners: bicyclists (who would enjoy a miles-long, safe, sublimely beautiful bikeway by the sea), motorists (who would benefit from de-conflicting bikes from cars), taxpayers (who would save a billion dollars by moving the tracks to the I-5 instead of digging city-busting tunnels), and commuters (who, instead of paying a couple of billion dollars to build a couple of carpool lanes on the I-5 from La Jolla to Oceanside - SANDAG’s plan, would spend that same money to run tracks there, offering a real transit solution).

So, let’s use this current controversy to think big, save money, create a better rail solution, and build perhaps the greatest showcase for San Diego ever – a grand Pacific Coast Bikeway that will attract international attention for all the right reasons.

In this year of divisive politics, it is a vision that can bring us all together.

Don Billings Solana Beach

Chicken Little Solana Beach residents should beware of the phony hype about the Solana Beach City Council's decision to study the possibility of an independent electricity provider to compete with SDG&E's monopoly in our city. If you read the letters recently from Gary Garber and Louise Abbott, you would incorrectly think the sky is falling. The truth is the council is moving cautiously to investigate the opportunity to bring lower electric rates to residents. Much like other California cities, including San Francisco.

Both Garber's and Abbott's letters are littered with false and misleading statements, and the issues and facts are twisted and dramatized to mislead the public. This misinformation was echoed by Councilmember Ginger Marshall at

the last council meeting.

Garber claims the "Council will soon decide who purchases your power." False. If an independent provider is approved, customers will have a choice to buy electricity from SDG&E or the other provider. Garber calls it an “energy grab from SDG&E.” False. He complains that “no one knows” the costs associated with an independent power provider. False. That is precisely what the council decided to investigate at its Sept. 14 meeting when they voted to retain a consultant and use a separate monitor to check the accuracy of the consultant's work. Louise Abbott falsely claims that this program "essentially turns our city into a utility provider for all the citizens." False. She also claims that the city will be "replacing SDG&E." Again, false.

Contrary to the phony claims, the council has been working on this matter for a considerable time. The documentation is clear: the city will not be in the power business, nor will residents be required to purchase their electricity from an independent provider. The CCA provides competition to SDG&E's monopoly. Remember, competition is good. It would be a voluntary program that gives consumers a choice, including remaining with SDG&E. It would be irresponsible for the city to fail to analyze this opportunity for our citizens to save money on electricity. At its Sept. 14 meeting the council made it clear: there will be plenty of public meetings before the council ever gets to the point of taking a vote.

This is a fake issue that Garber, Abbott, Marshall and their allies created to give the false impression that the council is doing something nefarious. It simply is not true.

Don’t fall for it. Read the Solana Beach City Council staff reports or contact city staff to get accurate and honest information. The sky isn't falling. The council is acting responsibly. That’s what we elected them to do.

Gary Coad Solana Beach

Environmental experiment?

The two letters to the editor on Sept. 15 are the first I’d heard of a “Community Choice Aggregation,” aka taxpayer-funded energy.

A bit of general knowledge, and a quick review of the 81-page city document, raise bright red flags.

1. Government can’t create wealth, only confiscate it, spend it and redistribute it. A claim that with the added expenses of politicians and bureaucrats, the city can provide energy cheaper than a stockholder-owned company, is ludicrous on its face.

2. CCA’s are described as “market action — competition.” Imagine any one of us starting a company, with products and/or services that every resident in Solana Beach is forced to to purchase, until they go through a well-disguised and arduous process to decline, with the taxpayers bearing all of the risk. And

tax breaks on top of that! Market action?

Competition? By what definition?

3. There is an opt-in requirement. From page 66 of the city’s own “Technical Analysis” "Proposition 16, which would have required a 2/3 community vote before a CCA could be established, and AB 2145 which would have required consumers to “opt-in” to a CCA program, would have both been lethal to CCA formation.” Clearly, those promoting a CCA know full well that unless people are forced to join, a CCA will fail.

Instead of protecting our freedom to make and live by our own individual choices, the Solana Beach City Council is working to use force to run roughshod over our individual rights as they impose their agendas onto all of us.

I predict significantly higher energy costs, and brown outs.

Catherine Dickerson Solana Beach

SB fortunate to have a proactive council As a 30-year resident of Solana Beach, I appreciate living in a community that tackles issues pro-actively. California law mandates that communities reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, and a recent update requires we further reduce emissions to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030.

To meet those goals, and offer residents the opportunity to save on their SDG&E bills, one option that our city government has been studying for a long time is forming an energy district, or CCA. CCA stands for Community Choice Aggregation. CCA’s have been established in other communities with success.

Several of them exist in California, saving residents money and giving a choice other than the monopoly utility company.

If it goes forward in Solana Beach, each resident will have the option to receive lower cost energy, with a larger mix of clean energy.

Or residents can choose to stay with SDG&E as their electricity supplier. To me, this plan sounded interesting but complicated at first glance. I decided to learn more by asking city officials and reading public documents on the Solana Beach website. This is what I discovered: •Solana Beach City Council has had CCA’s in its public work plan, which is reviewed in regular public meetings, since 2012. Further public discussion has occurred in our Climate Action Commission, formed 10 months ago.

•What a CCA does: provides a way for interested residents to purchase electricity for less than SDG&E, and lower their non-renewable energy use to the new CA legal limits.

•A community-wide vote isn't needed on this issue since users can opt out of the CCA at any time at no extra charge. No one would be forced to take part.

•There would be no extra cost to any consumer; for those who choose to participate, SEE LETTERS, A16

The facts about the Solana Beach City Council and CCAs GUEST COLUMN

BY LESA HEEBNER, SOLANA BEACH COUNCIL MEMBER There is a lot of misinformation being spread around town that the Solana Beach City Council is forcing a “CCA,” or Community Choice Aggregation entity, upon the community without any public input. I assure you that this is categorically false. While the Council is exploring this fiscally smart alternative to SDG&E-sourced energy, the Council has made no decisions and will not make any decisions about it without extensive public input. We are and have been on a slow, responsible path of discovery. The concept was initially brought to Council by residents in October 2011, five years ago.

While Council discussions on CCAs since then have offered the opportunity for the public to speak, the question being contemplated was not whether to pull the trigger on a CCA, but whether to explore a CCA. All who spoke encouraged the continued cautious exploration of this concept. Many articles were written by this paper and the U-T on the interest in, and exploration of, CCAs by Solana Beach and other cities in the region. This is not a new, sudden, secret idea.

Numerous cities and counties in California and other states have enacted their own CCAs. Right now, 70 percent of California’s energy load is either in a CCA or in some phase or another of considering one. This isn’t a fly-by-night concept.

Many institutions or large businesses participate in a similar model as “Direct Access Customers,” (we have a handful in Solana Beach). Universities, water districts and large corporations have employed this cost-saving option for years.

A CCA can provide energy at lower rates from cleaner sources. They partner with SDG&E because a CCA’s energy is still transmitted through SDG&E’s wires, and SDG&E will continue to send out the bills (which we anticipate will be lower) and SDG&E will remain responsible for all infrastructure and maintenance. If the Solana Beach City Council determines this is a smart path to take, no one will be forced to be part of it. They can opt out.

In May 2016, Solana Beach had a Technical Study done (at no cost) that shows a CCA in Solana Beach is feasible, and would provide our residents and businesses lower rates with 50 percent and 75 percent California-sourced renewable energy sources vs SDGE’s approximately 35 percent.

The next logical step in exploring this

EDUCATION MATTERS

BY MARSHA SUTTON

Clearing up LCFF confusion

T

he portion of last week’s column that discussed the Local Control Funding Formula money received by the San Dieguito Union High School District was incomplete, somewhat confusing and requires further elaboration.

I may have opinions on how districts should spend their money, but those opinions need to be based on clearly stated facts.

Given the healthy financial position of the district, I still maintain that more money should be allocated to programs, services and supplies that are currently parent-funded.

Nevertheless, I admit my prior LCFF discussion was less than clear. Mea culpa. Let me try again.

According to California’s nonpartisan Legislative Analyst’s Office, the LCFF legislation, enacted in 2013-2014, provides California school districts with “significant increases in funding.”

The purpose was to give local districts more control over their state funding, with the over-arching goal to target high-need students as well as to increase student success for all categories of pupils.

There are three components of the LCFF grants: Base Grant, Supplemental Grant and Concentration Grant.

San Dieguito does not qualify for Concentration Grants which are awarded to school districts with more than 55 percent of

their student population classified as high need (low income, English learners, foster youth).

Eric Dill, SDUHSD’s interim superintendent, said last year that the district’s total LCFF for 2015-2016 was about $95.9 million. About $94.3 million was the Base Grant and about $1.6 million was the Supplemental Grant.

Supplemental Grant money is 20 percent more above the base and is granted for every high-need student, to be used to meet their particular needs.

The column last week included a quote from State Assembly woman Shirley Weber disagreeing with state Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson’s interpretation of the law when he said the grant money could be used for salary increases.

Although the context was unclear, Weber was likely referring to Supplemental and Concentration Grant money, not the Base Grant.

Base Grant The Base Grant includes the base rate, plus an extra 2.6 percent for all ninth-to-12th-grade students, based on Average Daily Attendance, at a rate of about $216 per ADA. San Dieguito’s 8,300 students in grades 9-12, multiplied by $216, equals about $1.8 million.

concept is to find experts to determine if this study is accurate and that there are no hidden traps or pitfalls. The council issued a Request for Qualifications/Proposals to do just this. In our RFQ/P, we told responders that a potential CCA should not involve any outlay of city funds or put the city’s General Fund at risk, and that it should include an extensive community outreach program, the potential for adding in other local cities (as most cities in the region are formally interested), legal, regulatory and billing expertise and services, and a risk analysis.

We received three responses. Staff has hired (our only financial outlay) third party, experienced and non-vested professionals in this field to assist with review of the responses.

Out of this effort will come a staff recommendation for council to consider contracting with one of the three consultants.

This will come to us in late October at the earliest and, of course, the public is encouraged to weigh in. Should the council vote to hire one of the consultants, even this step will not commit the city to doing a CCA. Signing a contract with them (which will not entail any cost) is not a commitment to doing a CCA. It is the next step in the exploration process, and is akin to giving a listing to a broker.

Should the council choose to bring a consultant on board, this will be the time for

extensive community outreach because at that time we will have a vetted, analyzed and specific proposal for a Solana Beach CCA with experts on board to answer questions of council and the community.

Every single city on the coast is interested in either doing their own CCA, forming a Joint CCA, or joining a potential Solana Beach CCA. Planning for that possibility was a mandate in our RFP/Q. Deputy Mayor Peter Zahn and I have attended regional meetings of council members from cities throughout the county whose purpose is to share information on CCAs and explore the viability of the concept. Each city has residents who are professionals in the energy field who attend these meetings and weigh in on this idea. They are not all cheerleaders. They are critical, cautious professionals working in the energy market right now who are willing to lend their expertise to their communities on this topic. Our proposal will most certainly be vetted and questioned by each of them. All eyes are on us, and we will benefit greatly from that.

Don’t believe the hype that this decision is imminent. We will take the necessary time for full community participation. This is a long, slow road that we are traveling upon, and we are traveling it because it would be fiscally irresponsible to not do so.

So the district’s 2015-2016 Base Grant of $94.3 million includes about $1.8 million of the 2.6-percent “extra” money.

According to the Legislative Analyst’s Office, the additional income for high schools “is not designated for any particular activity, but the genesis of the adjustment relate[s] to the costs of providing career technical education (CTE) in high school.”

The LAO report states that the $216 per ADA “reflects the average total amount spent per pupil on Regional Occupational Centers and Programs (ROCPs)” under the previous funding system.

Many districts, Dill said, cut their CTE programs during the recession, and this money was intended to support the re-introduction and expansion of the programs.

But at San Dieguito, he said, CTE classes and programs actually increased in recent years.

“We’ve embedded CTE in the high school curriculum,” he said, noting that the district last year spent about $2.1 million in career and technical education – which is higher than what the state is providing.

Supplemental Grant The district’s Supplemental Grant money of $1.6 million is intended to target the needs of low-income students, English learners and foster youth.

Dill said these groups of students represent about 10 percent of the district’s pupil enrollment.

The goals for the Supplemental Grant money, Dill said, are to “achieve more, provide more, spend more.” He puts “achieve more” at the top of the list.

Each district, he said, has flexibility in how to reach those goals.

Dill said he disagreed with those who say Supplemental Grant money can’t be used for teacher salaries. But he clarified by adding that San Dieguito has used a portion of that grant money to add new teachers and increase the number of sections to serve those

high-need students.

So technically the money is being used for teacher salaries, but it’s to hire additional teachers and not necessarily to pay for raises.

Discretionary Dill said about 85 percent of the district’s total operating budget goes toward staffing costs, salaries and benefits. The Base Grant of $94.3 million is completely discretionary, he said, and supports this primary expenditure.

According to the LAO, target base rates in the 2013-2014 school year were as follows: $6,845 for grades K-3; $6,947 for grades 4-6; $7,154 for grades 7-8; and $8,289 for grades 9-12. Cost of living adjustments are made yearly.

[As an aside, districts with students in grades K-3 are given an additional 10.4 percent of the base rate (initially $712 per ADA), to reduce class sizes to an average of no more than 24 students per class.]

The main objection to using Base Grant money for salary raises is that it’s essentially paying more for the same level of service, when the intent was to use the money to more directly impact student success.

The LAO identifies eight priority areas for district spending – student achievement, student engagement, other student outcomes (other indicators of student success), school climate, parental involvement, basic services (such as facilities improvements), implementation of Common Core State Standards, and course access.

According to the California Dept. of Education, the state’s Dept. of Finance said it would take about eight years to phase in the LCFF system, at an estimated cost of about $18 billion. Full implementation is predicted to occur in 2020-2021. This is the third year of the LFCC law.

Salary raises Before your eyes glaze over completely, a few more figures.

Dill said the total budget for 2015-2016 was about $124 million. That’s how much was SEE SUTTON, A16

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) FROM LETTERS, A14 most energy bills would decrease.

•Whether or not people participate in the CCA, they would continue to get electricity through current lines and equipment.

•SDGE would not be able to penalize customers for their energy choices.

•SDGE would continue to provide free furnace checks regardless of whether a home had opted in or out of the CCA. •Residents and small businesses who for whatever reason aren’t able to put solar panels on their roof would still be able to get energy from renewable sources through the CCA. •Those who already have solar panels could opt out of the energy collective.

•This will be a long process; the Council needs to first decide on which turnkey supplier would set up the CCA and operate it. Then we would have a ways to go before the final decision is made. Nothing will be decided tomorrow.

All over CA, communities are going to have to make changes to reach required emission levels. I think we’re lucky to have a city council and climate action commission who are investigating long-range options, with time to consider them carefully. But they need our help and feedback to make the best choice. Each of us has an important role: to learn the facts and make our voices heard at public meetings and City Council sessions. I look forward to the process, and to seeing you there.

Kudos to KAABOO Congratulations to KAABOO for putting on an excellent concert! I thought KAABOO did an excellent job at managing the entire festival. The

sound levels were more than acceptable and I live right across the street. The music was amazing and the crowd was very organized and friendly.

I was in the line for Ludacris when the crowd overflowed and the concert should not be tarnished by a few people when the rest of the crowd was acting appropriately.

I heard there were some issues getting cars out of the parking lot, but that happens with any large event. So I just want to add my voice to the positive view of KAABOO and say I am looking forward to next year!

Dr. Kevin Grold Del Mar

Do statistics predict the future?

I read an article in the Sept. 22 issue of this paper that the police had to use pepper spray on an unruly crowd at KAABOO. Is the crowd to be frightened and censured for unruliness or should the blame be placed on KAABOO for scheduling two venues to end at the same time with only one venue for them to empty into?

Quite apart from this article but in the same paper was the Del Mar police report for Sept. 16 to 18. It didn't mention the fairgrounds as the location but only 2200 Jimmy Durante Blvd. For this period I counted one incident of resisting arrest, six incidents of grand theft or pickpocketing, and 10 incidents of arrest for use of controlled substances or being drunk in public.

The festival will return for at least four more years with up to five one-year extensions. Do these statistics represent what should be expected during the festivals?

FROM TRIATHLETE, A11 Maryland in 2009, she discovered there weren’t many kids triathlon programs here so she started the SoCal Youth Triathlon series in 2012.

With her triathlon team, Carbary’s main focus is for the kids to have fun, as well as work on endurance and develop their skills.

“Kids really like being with their friends, they don’t even think of it as training,” Carbary said.

With the team she hosts clinics throughout the year where kids learn the basics of the

Parisi Speed School now a center for Standardized Athletic Testing The newly formed strategic alliance between Parisi Speed School, NCSA Athletic Recruiting, Zybek Sports and Box Command just made high school athletes quest for a college placement more attainable. On Saturday, Oct. 1, a cutting-edge concept designed to have high school athletes stand out on the field and off, comes to San Diego as Parisi Speed School of San Diego becomes the second center for

Standardized Athletic Testing.

“The Center for Standardized Athletic Testing is just the first step by our four companies in giving high school athletes access to the best sports performance testing, training, and coaching, as well as recruiting education,” says Dr. Paul Staples, PhD, CEO of Parisi Franchise Systems.

“The Testing Center will help teenagers chart a path to reaching their potential as

The amount of revenue received was about $128 million – so Dill said the district realized a $4 million surplus last year, after a $2 million deficit the year before.

Besides the $95.9 million in total LCFF money from the state, San Dieguito also received about $32 million from other sources, including the federal government, more misc. money from the state, and some local revenue from the county.

The raises given to all employees for 2015-2016, Dill said, was just under $6.5 million (teachers about $4 million, classified about $2 million, and management/other staff about $450,000).

For 2016-2017, and moving forward, the total cost of the salary increases is just over $6.5 million. Certificated employees (primarily teachers) account for about $4.8 million, classified about $1.3 million, and management and other employees about $407,000.

It’s mostly the Base Grant money that’s being used to pay for San Dieguito’s controversial $6.5 million yearly salary increase.

Because the cost is so high, it’s fair to question future sustainability.

Time to give parents a break Looking ahead, Dill feels confident that the district will continue to enjoy a strong financial condition.

“Every budget we bring to the board is

sport and can be motivated to want to train for a race.

The series includes age-specific distances at high-quality, USA Triathlon-sanctioned events like the Mission Beach Triathlon — for example, the “Itsy Bitsy” distance for 7-10 year olds is 100 meters swimming, a two-mile bike ride and a .75 mile run.

Before every race in the series there is a pre-race clinic so kids can see the course, learn the rules and practice transitions so they feel confident and are safe on race day.

worst-case scenario,” he said, adding that the district always budgets conservatively.

He expects rising numbers of teachers to retire in coming years, and replacing highly-paid veteran teachers with new hires is a major cost benefit.

“Districts always capture savings when teachers retire,” he said.

Regarding the LCFF and its “significant increases in funding,” as the LAO report phrased it, Dill said, “Many don’t realize how deeply the funding was cut for education during the recession.”

The increased money has brought a sense of relief to California school districts, and most agree it is long overdue.

“The funding for education is being restored and getting back on track,” Dill said.

There’s no doubt the healthy infusion of cash at last after so many lean years is welcome. The question is whether the new money is being applied appropriately.

There’s now a $4 million surplus, and a 12.5 percent salary raise was awarded to every district employee that amounts to an extra $6.5 million in annual expenses.

Now that the accounting rundown is over, the main point is this: Many educational programs that support the academic and emotional needs of students remain unfunded by the district, left for parents to pick up the slack.

It’s time to give parents a break.

From April to September, the team has bike-run or track strength practices after school and swim-bike-run workouts on Sundays. The kids train for running and biking on the SR-56 path and do their swimming at Mission Bay so they can adjust to the open water.

Carbary said she has had four new kids join

the team in the last two weeks and said now is a great time to join — the SoCal Youth Triathlon Trick or Tri race is coming up on Oct. 29 in Irwindale and from October to March the team will have coached practices on Sundays. Additionally, nearly every month Road Runner Sports hosts free, fun, family events and clinics.

students, “says Traylor.

Since 1987, the TPHS Scholarship Fund has provided Torrey Pines seniors with scholarships ranging from $500 to $2,000. “Today, the volunteer, community-based scholarship organization raises an average of $40,000 per year,” said Mary Stromitis, co-president of the TPHS Scholarship Fund. Formerly known as Dollars for Scholars, the organization became independent in 2013. “Last year the nonprofit reached its $1 million mark in scholarships

awarded since it was founded more than 29 years ago,” Stromitis said.

“Our group’s mission is to provide scholarships for seniors,” said Karin Lang, former co-president of the TPHS Scholarship Fund. “So whatever fundraisers we can hold that can help our students are a win-win.

These kids are our future, and they deserve an affordable college education.”

Rescue, SPOT Rescue and Animal Samaritans.

In addition to taking dogs, Rancho Coastal Humane Society also offered to spay and neuter all of the animals.

Bloum traveled last week to Lafayette, Louisiana with her Thrive volunteers Susie Saladino and Olivia Cameron, “joining paws” with a Labs and Friends volunteer whose family’s home was impacted by the floods and a local rescue group called Acadiana Animal Aid. “Those women are the real heroes,” Bloum said of Acadiana, whose daily mission, floods or not, is rescuing thousands of animals from high-kill shelters in Louisiana with 90 percent euthanasia rates and transporting them across the country. “They’re unbelievable, they do all of the medical treatments on the animals before they send them out. It was life-changing to see what they do.”

By the time the Thrive ladies had arrived, the flood waters had receded but so many animals had been displaced. As over 100,000 people had lost their homes, many had to make the decision to sacrifice their family pets.

“It is a heartbreaking situation for everyone involved,” Bloum said.

Of the 67 dogs, Thrive is taking 19, Rancho Coastal is taking 18, including all of the big dogs, Animal Samaritans and Labradors and Friends are each taking five, and Spot Animal Rescue is taking 20 puppies, including a mother and her five-week-old litter of 10.

All of their medical work was completed by Acadiana prior to their arrival and Rancho Coastal will handle the spay and neuter surgeries, making the dogs available for adoption in about a week. Bloum encourages anyone interested in adopting the dogs to fill out an application at thriveanimalrescue.com. The website will have a link to a Flooded with Love page with

hours, however, the library will have access to both Cove 1 and Cove 2.

The spaces can accommodate about 60 people on either side, or a total of 120 people for both spaces.

Larger events can be held at the school’s new multipurpose room, which can accommodate 300 to 350 people.

“As part of our MOU, the facilities just don’t stop with Warren Hall, they actually extend to the whole campus,” Addleman said. “So the county and Friends will have the same benefit as our parent-teacher groups.”

The library renovation project, which will be paid by a combination of Prop AA funds, county funds and contributions from Friends of the Solana Beach Library, is estimated to take four months. Addleman said the library will be renovated in such a way that the branch will remain open.

Improvements will start April 2017 by temporarily moving library staff and Friends of the Solana Beach Library into The Cove. In an effort to allow public access, construction will be phased, starting with the library lobby and Friends bookstore, followed by the eastern portion of the main library, the western portion of the main library, and finally, the community rooms and staff area. The project is expected to be completed by August 2017.

For more information about the Solana Beach Library, visit http://sdcl.org/locations_SB.html.

FROM WATER BOARD, A2 led to a board vote earlier this year to raise rates by an a maximum average of 9 percent annually over the next three years; the first increase took effect June 1, while the next is slated for Jan. 1, if approved on a separate vote of the board.

Directors split along geographical lines on a number of key votes, including the rate increase. Gruzdowich and Director Marlene King, who both represent inland divisions with larger lots, voted against the rate plan and other related measures, while Smerican, board president Michael Hogan and Director Augie Daddi, who represent divisions in Solana Beach, a more densely populated area, voted for the measures.

Real estate broker Robert Fehrer is running against business owner David Petree for the Div. 2 seat now held by Smerican. Following are profiles of the Div. 2 candidates, in the order in which they appear on the ballot.

Profiles of the candidates for the Div. 1 seat, which is primarily in Rancho Santa Fe, will run next week in this edition.

Robert Feher found himself at the county Registrar of Voters office this summer, where he was helping a friend file the paperwork necessary to run for a seat on a community services district board.

The 58-year-old Solana Beach resident runs a real estate brokerage, and had been

Bloum said she has seen some push-back about their mission online, with people commenting that there are plenty of dogs in San Diego that need help. She said San Diego and Southern California shelters are much different than those in Louisiana, who have nearly no outreach and zero percent adoption rates, which makes Acadiana’s work so thinking about ways he could give back to the community. While at the registrar’s office, he did some research and found out that a seat on the Santa Fe Irrigation District board was up for election this year.

“Maybe the stars were lining up and it was my time to do my civic duty,” said Feher. “So I threw my hat in the ring.”

Feher and his wife, Lisa Margolin-Fehrer, who runs a public relations and marketing agency, have one daughter, who is studying political science at UC Berkeley and wants to run for public office one day.

“Proudly I told my daughter I’m following in her future footsteps,” Feher said.

One of his priorities if elected is helping the district maintain and improve its infrastructure, the treatment plants, pumps and pipelines and other facilities used to bring water to its customers.

“From what I can tell, they’ve done a fantastic job of it. I’d like to continue that legacy,” said Fehrer, who in addition to being a real estate broker is a licensed contractor.

He’s also interested in developing the district’s capacity to provide reclaimed water to its customers. Currently, Santa Fe provides reclaimed or recycled water for landscape irrigation to some customers in Solana Beach, and the district is working on a proposal to bring recycled water to the Rancho Santa Fe golf course.

Feher said he would like to learn more about reclaimed water and solve related

important. In San Diego, it’s very rare that a healthy, adoptable dog is euthanized.

“It was eye-opening,” said Bloum. “We arrived at 1:15 p.m. at one rural shelter and saved two dogs from their scheduled 2 p.m. euthanasia that were amazing, amazing dogs.

The friendliest, cutest dogs. That doesn’t happen here.”

“Of course, we will continue to help animals here, we’re never going to stop,” said Bluom.

“We’ve never done anything like this before and it felt really good.”

problems, such as the technical issue of removing salt from water to make it suitable for turf irrigation.

“I’m fascinated with trying to make economic sense out of reclaimed water projects as a method of conservation,” he said.

Another area of interest, he said, would be expanding the district’s public outreach and education efforts, which would be bolstered by his work with his wife on public relations projects.

“It’s my passion for solving problems and improving the way things are done that makes me believe I can contribute greatly to the work of the board,” Feher said.

fit for the Santa Fe board.

“I think I have a combination of business acumen and financial acumen and the (knowledge of) technical aspects that go into water distribution systems,” Petree said.

One area of interest if elected, Petree said, will be looking into new sources of supply for the region, to complement conservation measures. That approach would ease the necessity for Draconian cutbacks in water use, he said.

“I don’t want to become Arizona, I don’t like the cactus and stones,” Petree said. “We can keep California green and looking nice.”

As an example, Petree said, in a project that his company, AmeriCare Health & David Petree Retirement, Inc., is building in Rancho David Petree’s two sons, Greg and Matt, Bernardo, “gray” water from sinks and recently joined him in working for the washing machines will be collected, filtered company he founded in 1984, which builds, and used for landscape irrigation.

Playwrights Project inspires people from all walks of life Recent Live Theatre at Home event a moving experience

BY LOIS ALTER MARK In the tradition of Shakespeare in the Park, Playwrights Project presented Live Theatre at Home in the backyard of Carmel Valley resident Lynne Bath recently.

Bath, a board member of Playwrights Project, hosted an evening of informal theatre in which three well-known local actors performed material created by both children and adults involved in the organization’s various programs.

For more than 30 years, Playwrights Project has brought playwriting to thousands of students throughout San Diego. The nonprofit organization was founded in 1985 by Deborah Salzer, with the late Edward Albee serving as Artistic Advisor. Under the leadership of Cecelia Kouma, executive director since 2007, the group’s programs have expanded to serve adults, primarily from disenfranchised communities, including seniors, the foster care community, immigrants, active military, veterans and those involved in the justice system.

“Playwrights Project is profoundly meaningful to me because its programs ignite a love of theatre in those who might never have known its magic,” said Kouma.

“I am continually moved by the depth and creativity of the scripts developed by writers from all walks of life. They create characters that they care about, and they draw me into their journeys. The plays illuminate our shared humanity and help us look at the world differently.”

Students in grades 3-12 participate in Playwrights Project through their schools, learning to write individual one-act plays in their Language Arts class. At the end of the program, professional actors visit the classroom to perform readings of the students’ completed scripts.

Kouma explained that when Playwrights Project’s trained teaching artists visit classrooms they often have students write about inanimate objects so they don’t feel uncomfortable revealing too much personal information about themselves.

In fact, many of the scripts read during the Live Theatre at Home event revolved around pencils, math homework and batteries – yet they were surprisingly moving.

“The most important thing about Playwrights Project is that it gives all participants a voice,” said Kouma. “Some of their stories are shattering, but their plays

One of the most powerful scripts of the night, “A Sorta Fairytale,” revolved around a little girl neglected by her drug-addicted mother and rescued by an unlikely hero.

Written by a foster youth based on her own experience, it brought audience members to tears and caused actress Hannah Logan to ask, “Can I play a pencil now?” to lighten the mood.

“Truth is painful,” said Logan. “But not telling the stories of humanity creates a kind of wound that eats away at us and never heals. Writing can be a salvation, and assisting people in excavating stories that might otherwise remain untold or ‘stuck’ inside them brings such joy to me. It’s what compelled me to become involved with Playwrights Project.”

Actor Fred Harlow agreed. “I was cast as the father in a play called ‘The Best Mistake,’ about a teenage girl who finds out her dad can’t read. We performed it in front of a large group of people, many of whom had never seen a play before. During the talk back, a man stood up and said he was like the character I played and wanted to get help so he, too, could be the best father he could be. There were a number of people there who were involved with adult education so he was able to get the help he needed. I still get choked up telling this story.”

A man serving an 87-year prison sentence wrote about finding his dad passed out when he was a little boy. His stepmom and others, convinced his dad was drunk, told him to ignore him. By the time they called for help, his father was dead, and the police said he could have been saved if they had been notified earlier. The man had been carrying around guilt over this for decades.

through the other characters could he finally realize that the adults were the guilty ones and they had failed him. This was cathartic for him.

Each year, Playwrights Project holds a statewide California Young Playwrights Contest, and all young writers up to age 19 are encouraged to submit their work.

Winning scripts are produced by Playwrights Project and presented as Plays

by Young Writers at The Old Globe in January.

Board member Kathy Krevat read a letter from her daughter, Devyn, who, as a fifth grader, had won a staged reading of her play, “The Case of the Missing Pencil Tips,” and, as a high school senior, won a full production of her play, “Fairy Tale.”

“Thanks to Playwrights Project, I was able to see people’s reactions to my words and it ignited a passion in me,” wrote Devyn. “I will always be grateful for this experience and inspiration.”

Actor Brandon Kelley, who starred in the original production of “Fairy Tale,” was also inspired by Playwrights Project. “I feel such a strong connection with these young writers,” he said. “Having the chance to become a character that started from the mind of a child has brought out a creativity in me that I never knew existed.”

Prized musical memoir ‘The Lion’ opens at The Old Globe

“It seemed like the most natural thing in the world for me,” Scheuer said in an interview with La Jolla Light. “My father was the music man. He played the guitar and there was always The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who or Mozart ... and our family went to see the Gilbert and Sullivan shows in New York. I thought music was the most joyful and exciting thing in my life. At one point, I was playing the toy banjo my father built for me when I was two-and-a-half. Although, I couldn’t really see music as a job, I knew I wanted to do it all the time. Now, it’s my living.”

Scheuer has been a writer-in-residence at Goodspeed Musicals, the Weston Playhouse, and Johnny Mercer Songwriting Workshop.

He’s been commissioned by Williamstown Theatre Festival and is a recipient of a Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Solo Performance.

“I started playing in coffee shops in Greenwich Village in New York,” he explained. “I wrote songs about my family, and I told stories in between songs. I realized I needed to make the material in between as thoughtful and considerate as I did the songs. I wanted to keep people entertained, so I’d rewrite my stories and songs every day after every gig. That’s where ‘The Lion’ came in.

Benjamin Scheuer wrote and stars in “The Lion.”

“I was invited to the Goodspeed Theatre and I met (director) Sean Daniels. He was interested in my music. We became good friends and have worked together since. He is my guide, therapist, hiking buddy and coach. I will forever be indebted to the theatrical magician Sean Daniels is.”

Throughout the show, Scheuer plays six different guitars, including a 1929 Martin, a Les Paul, and a Froggy Bottom H-12. One he calls his “understudy,” who only gets played if he breaks a string.

“In 400 performances, I’ve played her twice,” Scheuer said. “The other six are all tuned to different chords. On the Froggy Bottom I play ‘Cookie Tin Banjo,’ about the

guitar my dad made for me when I was young; I play the title track, ‘The Lion,’ and I use it to play a song that is a letter to my father, called, ‘Dear Dad.’ ” In addition to being a musical, Scheuer said the show is a family story about his father.

“We got along well playing music,” he said.

“However, he was very academic and I was not. When I was 13, we had a fight. Soon after, he died of a brain injury. I always felt I was responsible for his death. But during my ‘treatment’ and ‘cure’ from cancer, I learned to become myself, forgive myself and forgive my father. In essence, the show is about family and how the power of music connects us.”

Scheuer said he made four music animated videos independently for the show (available on his website benjaminscheuer.com) — “Weather the Storm,” “The Lion,” “Cookie Tin Banjo” and “Cure.” His album, “Songs from The Lion,” has won prizes at the Annecy Film Festival, British Animation Awards, and Encounters Film Festival.

Another animated video, “Golden Castle Town,” will be released in October.

He said he was very excited when “Cure” premiered on a New York Times health site. “I think that blew open the doors for musical theater getting songs on the radio and film festivals to audiences that otherwise would not think of this as musical theater,” Scheuer said. “So I’m completely interested in changing the way the genre is presented.”

In press material advancing the show, Globe Artistic Director Barry Edelstein writes, “I first saw ‘The Lion’ two years ago, and it knocked me out. Ben Scheuer is one of the most winning, charismatic performers I’ve seen. He can do it all: a wizardly guitarist and brilliant singer-songwriter, he’s put together a theatrical memoir that is unique, moving, and hugely uplifting. He’s performed the play in many cities since its acclaimed New York run, and Ben has won hearts everywhere he’s gone. I’m so happy to share this special and unforgettable show with San Diego.”

Santa Fe Christian Schools alumna Local author Kathy Aarons releases her first children’s book announces release of new

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Having grown up in Carlsbad, Megan L. Nelson spent most of her childhood days playing outside in the California sun. When it did rain, however, she still played outdoors.

“I used to play outside in the sun or the rain with my brother all the time,” said Nelson, who attended Santa Fe Christian Schools in Solana Beach.

Inspired by her childhood memories of playing in the rain, Nelson wrote “Mae and Jane in the Rain,” a children’s book about a little girl named Mae who prefers to play in the sunshine.

Whenever it gets cloudy, Mae goes inside. It’s not until she meets Jane, who enjoys playing on days of sunshine and days of gray, that Mae discovers even rainy days can be special.

“It’s simple and sweet,” Nelson said.

“I just wanted to encourage kids to get outside and play.”

Published by Tate Publishing, “Mae and Jane in the Rain” is Nelson’s first book.

The rhyming picture book is geared for 3- to 5-year-olds. It promotes playtime and the value of friendship.

“I always liked writing,” Nelson said.

“I wanted to write a rhyming story and this came back to my childhood, playing in the rain. Rain was always really special growing up in Carlsbad because it didn’t happen all that

much.”

Nelson has wanted to write a book since she was an elementary school student.

After graduating from Santa Fe Christian Schools, Nelson went on to study journalism at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, Texas. She currently works in real estate.

“I went for it,” Nelson said about publishing her first book. “I never wanted to be that person that looked back and didn’t go after my dreams.”

Written while Nelson was in college, “Mae and Jane in the Rain” was released at the end of August. The book is available on Amazon.com and BarnesandNoble.com.

Nelson has already written her second book, “The Perfect Petal Set.” Expected to be released early 2017, the children’s book is currently in illustration.

“It’s still kind of surreal,” Nelson said.

“It’s something I’ve wanted to do for a very long time. Now it’s all happening.”

Local show jumper gets set for Del Mar event Porter is excited for the Grand Prix World Cup qualifier

BY CHRIS SAUR tandout show jumper Mandy Porter has traveled the world to win competitions, represented the United States on three Nations Cup teams and qualified for four World Cups. But once a year, the Encinitas resident gets to compete at the highest level, right in her own backyard.

The Del Mar International Horse Show runs from Oct. 12 through Oct. 30 at the iconic race track, but the crown jewel of the event is the Longines FEI World Cup, a Grand Prix level event set for Saturday, Oct. 22. Porter and her horses will compete in the show jumping portion of the horse show from Wednesday of that week through Saturday.

She will ride about six different horses throughout the week — and clients she’s trained will add to the number of competitive horse/rider teams connected to Porter — which means Porter, 50, could be in the saddle from 6:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. for each of the five days. Hundreds of horses and riders will compete in all classes of show jumping, culminating in Saturday’s World Cup qualifier event, where the top 40 horse/rider duos will be vying for points toward the March World Cup finals.

At least one of Porter’s horses, 11-year-old Milano, is expected to be ready for Saturday night’s main event, but Porter will ride him in lesser events in the days prior to gauge if he is truly ready.

“My goal would be to see if (Milano) can be ready to compete (in the World Cup qualifier),” Porter said. “If I don’t feel he can be competitive, I wouldn’t start him in it. My goal is not to compete just to say I competed.”

After a course walk earlier in the day, and a brief warmup on the horse prior to Saturday’s post time,

Mandy Porter, an Encinitas resident and world class show jumper, rides Eminent at Del Mar in a previous year. Porter expects to compete in this year’s World Cup qualifying event as part of the Del Mar Horse Show in October.

Porter and her horse will enter the arena and have roughly 45 seconds to complete the 13-17 jumps on the course, trying to avoid any point deductions in that first round. That is followed by a second round, called a jump off, that is contested on a shorter course and the fastest time in that round wins. The winner Saturday gets the most points toward qualifying for the World Cup finals.

“At this level of competition, pairing up with the horse is really important,” Porter said. “You want to have a partner out there … and the better you know each other, and can work with each other, the better it can be.”

Porter competed at the World Cup finals when they were in Gothenburg, Sweden in 2008 and also qualified for the 2014 event in Lyon, France, but was unable to go because the horse was injured. She has competed in World Cup finals in Las Vegas on two other occasions, including the 2007 event, which was her best performance to date.

This season, the world’s top 45 or so horse/rider duos will compete for the ultimate prize in Nebraska in

late March. The qualifying season features 14 events with World Cup points available, seven on each coast. Del Mar is one of the most popular events on the West Coast circuit.

“Del Mar is one of our favorite places to show ever,” Porter explained. “It’s a great atmosphere, great show grounds and they get great crowds. Having a great crowd can really get you pumped up. I can’t wait to go compete at Del Mar. “That atmosphere is really electric, I can’t say enough good things about showing there.”

A charity event called Woof Cup Classic — which benefits six different charities and shows off the work done by Shelter for Soldiers — is the same night as the World Cup qualifier, also at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Six dog agility teams will be matched with six Grand Prix riders and horses to compete for the Charity Woof Cup. “To be able to raise money for an organization like that is so amazing, I commend the show management and staff for doing that,” Porter said.

Porter’s path to such exciting and

meaningful events began at a very young age as her grandfather and mother introduced her to the world of horses. Then living in the small Southern California city of Rolling Hills Estates, Porter participated in her first horse show when she was just 7 years old, and not long after that, she was competing in show jumping.

The family moved north when Porter was 14, settling in Diablo, a small population center just outside of Danville, where she and her friends could ride all around the neighborhood. She kept horses at home at that point, which made it easier to become immersed in the activity. Porter took care of the horses before school, after school and on weekends. And the competitions got more and more frequent, as well as more prestigious.

“That’s when it became a way of life,” Porter said. “I enjoyed competing and I just stuck with it, we would go almost every weekend to smaller shows. We would aspire to go to shows like the one at Del Mar.” Porter went to college at Cal Poly,

but didn’t slow down with her jumping. She continued going to shows on weekends and, after the first year, she brought a horse of her own down.

“I just always wanted to be around horses, they have this calming effect on me,” Porter said.

“I just love the animals, love being around them all day. It’s a lot of little girls’ dream.”

Porter says she “dabbled” in Grand Prix level jumping near the end of her college years in the late 1980s, but then moved to Europe for a few years. After she returned to the U.S., she got back into it even more seriously and was a regular on the West Coast circuit. She eventually settled in Encinitas in 2001 and, depending on the horses in her stable, Porter has been in contention for World Cup qualification almost every year since.

Porter runs ACP Enterprises, where she works with her longtime boyfriend Craig Starr. The business also has four grooms to work with the horses every day and a few other people that help out. Their dog Tater also “lends a helping paw.” “(At ACP Enterprises) our primary focus is training horses and … (they are) from all levels,” Porter explained. “We keep our business smaller so we can be hands-on with every individual horse or rider. We only have a very small handful of students that we teach and they keep their horses here, where we train them.”

Because of having a current crop of horses that are nearly ready for high level competition, Porter in 2016 has focused more on riding than teaching, with Starr handling more teaching duties. Which is fine with her, as she loves all aspects of working with the animals, whether it is watching a young horse grow and improve, the bright lights of a huge competition or that moment at the barn when no one is around except her and the horses.

“At the end of the day, it’s still all about the horses.”

BY ASHLEY MACKIN he eighth annual La Jolla Art and Wine Festival is stepping up its entertainment game this year so those who stroll the streets looking at world-class art have something to see and do at every corner.

The two-day juried art show — to be held 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 8 and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 9 along Girard Avenue — will feature the work of some 150 artists, and beverage tasting from more than a dozen wineries and breweries. Admission is free, but proceeds from the wine and beer garden and silent auctions benefit La Jolla’s public elementary and middle schools.

Because the festival raises funds for the children of La Jolla, the family art center was expanded this year, courtesy of Geppetto’s toy shop owner Brian Miller.

“Since the beginning, I’ve been a sponsor and have underwritten the family area, but this year, we’re also organizing the activities, and we’ve blown up that area to include many more things for children all under one big tent,” he said.

Literally, there will be a large tent shading Wall Street, where the family art area will be located.

“We are premiering the new Turkey on the

T

Table toy — kids can write what they are thankful for on the feathers and display it at Thanksgiving,” he said. “We want La Jolla children to write what they are thankful for on the turkey that will go in our store.”

From noon to 4 p.m. Saturday, Maggie Wheeler (Janice from TV’s “Friends”) and Meredith Scott Lynn (”Legally Blonde,” “Days of Our Lives”) will stop by to promote their creative writing program Write Brain, with activities that encourage kids to write, illustrate and create their own books.

Also on the docket are arts and crafts tables, a physical activity area sponsored by the La Jolla YMCA, and a science-based activity table sponsored by the La Jolla Library.

Even the donated car that children are invited to paint is getting an upgrade this year, and will be a 20-foot-plus stretch limo.

“There’s a lot going on this year we’ve never done before,” Miller said.

For adults, there will be changes to the wine and beer garden this year with the inclusion of speakers, musicians and an “experience” auction. In addition to the silent auction tent, which is stocked with donated items from businesses and artists, there will also be a table with bid-able trips SEE FEST, B19

New umbrellas shade children's program and all picnickers at Torrey Pines State Beach What’s better than a picnic by the beach?

Or a school field trip where you can eat your lunch near the waves? Fun activities yes — unless the intense Southern California sunlight makes the whole experience uncomfortably hot and picnickers prone to sunburn.

On Friday, Sept. 16, Torrey Pines Docent Society (TPDS) members, along with members of Torrey Pines Association (TPA), cut the ribbon on new umbrellas for a Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve and state beach picnic area that was previously seldom-used because of its complete lack of shade. The metal umbrellas, fabricated to withstand the rigors of a marine environment — including the potential for corrosion and high winds — now grace the southwest corner of the Reserve’s main parking lot near the cliffs.

“We’ve seen a huge increase in the use of the tables since the installation,” said Supervising Ranger Dylan Hardenbrook.

“This was a wonderful improvement for the visitors provided by our nonprofit partners.”

at the unveiling of the new umbrellas during the docents’ annual beach picnic. Week in and week out, the picnic area is used frequently by the Docent Society’s Children’s Program, along with the general public.

Funding for the umbrellas came from membership dues and contributions to TPA, a fundraising and advocacy nonprofit organization dedicated to protecting and preserving the Reserve. TPA was founded in 1950 by Guy Fleming and other San Diegans. For more information on memberships and activities, see torreypines.org.

A design team was led by landscape architect Adam Gevanthor, a Del Mar-area resident and board member of TPA, Docent Ingo Renner, and State Parks staff.

Installation was performed by TPDS volunteers and state park staff. Organized in March, 1975, Torrey Pines Docent Society is one of the oldest volunteer groups in the California State Park System. More information on volunteering, see torreypine.org.

Dexter’s Deli joins in to support Thrive Animal Rescue Dexter’s Deli in Del Mar, a health food store for dogs and cats, announced recently that it will help support the Thrive Animal Rescue and its #FloodedWithLove Louisiana Project rescue effort.

Thrive Animal Rescue is on the ground in Louisiana rescuing dogs affected by the Louisiana floods. Through a partnership of San Diego animal rescues they plan to bring up to 70 dogs to San Diego.

Thrive will be working with Dexter’s Deli on hosting adoption events at their Del Mar store (1229 Camino Del Mar, Del Mar, 92014).

Dexter’s Deli coordinated with Pure Vita to donate $1,000 worth of food in order to supply each foster home a bag of food upon

arrival. Dexter’s Deli will accept customers donations towards additional bags of Pure Vita dog food for Thrive Animal Rescue #FloodedWithLove Louisiana Project.

Dexter’s chose Pure Vita as it is an outstanding quality single-source protein formula that pets are less likely to have allergy or intolerance to.

“We were really happy to step in and ask our vendors to also support. And once the dogs get settled in from their journey we will host adoption events at our Del Mar store,” states Dexter’s Deli owner Tori Rosay.

Bill’s Angels paves the way for significant growth with Padres Pedal the Cause

O

n Tuesday, Sept. 20, co-captains Amy Koman and Denise Hawkinson hosted a fundraising and recruitment party at the Rancho Santa Fe home of Amy and Bill Koman for their team Bill’s Angels, a current and historic front-runner in Padres Pedal the Cause. Last year Bill’s Angels was comprised of 77 women who collectively raised over $186,000 to fund local cancer research; the team is growing rapidly, thanks to events like the

one held Sept. 20, and on track to significantly grow their team and contribution to research In the last few weeks the Komans have hosted about 100 current and prospective Bill’s Angels members. They learned more about how to participate, the impact on cancer research, and to honor special team members, Amy and Angelina Repetti. Amy Repetti, Angelina’s mother, fought back tears as she shared her daughter’s journey with

cancer from diagnosis at 9 months to cancer warrior at the current age of 6 and a half. Amy and Angelina are members of Bill’s Angels and participate in the Padres Pedal the Cause Ride for a Child program, which honors and celebrates local children being treated for cancer at Rady Children’s Hospital San Diego. The mother-daughter pair provide a very tangible example of the importance of the private funding provided by Padres Pedal in

Saturdays at The Ranch

advancing “high-risk, high-return” research that will ultimately pave the way to a cure.

With 52 days until event weekend, Padres Pedal has 1,077 riders registered and is on track to donate more than $2 million to fund local cancer research. Last year, the Solana Beach-based nonprofit raised $1.3 million through its cycling event thanks to the fundraising of over 800 participants. Founded in 2013, Padres Pedal the Cause’s mission is

to end cancer by raising money for cancer research at Moores Cancer Center at UC San Diego Health, Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute, Salk Institute for Biological Studies and Rady Children’s Hospital – San Diego.

The organization is proud to say that for the first time in 2016, 100 percent of all dollars raised by fundraisers goes directly to cancer research here in San Diego.

SPONSORED COLUMNS DR. VAN CHENG San Diego Vein Institute 760.944.9263

Edema and Vein Health Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Fluid Retention What do your varicose veins and swollen ankles have in common? Both have to do with damaged veins, often caused by increased pressure within the damaged veins.

Sometimes swelling is just that—you’ve eaten too much chips and salsa, or splurged on something fried. Other swelling is caused from too much standing (at a concert or theme park, or even a long day at work),

or sitting (on a plane or long car ride).

Even hot, humid weather can cause some swelling of the legs and feet.

This is edema, which can be benign or serious.

Sometimes, blood plasma leaks out of damaged veins, seeping into the peripheral tissue. This fluid buildup that causes the swelling in the legs, feet, or hands is called peripheral edema. It’s also common among pregnant or menstruating women because of hormone changes. Generally, minor swelling will occur in the legs, ankles, and feet and will disappear overnight, absorbed by the body during sleep. Swelling that disappears within a day or two shouldn’t be a cause for alarm.

Generally, the culprit is venous insufficiency or vein damage, when the valves in the veins, especially in the lower extremities, are so weak that blood can’t pump back up toward the heart, so instead, the blood pools in the damaged veins of the legs and feet, causing those unsightly

varicose veins. But note, too, that varicose veins themselves can cause additional swelling of the legs, ankles, and feet.

What may surprise many people is that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as naproxen and ibuprofen can actually worsen edema, as can drugs prescribed for diabetes, hormones such as estrogen and testosterone, and certain antidepressants and even blood pressure medications (calcium-channel blockers).

However, in serious cases, the source of edema is kidney or liver disease, or even heart disease, which can cause fluid to enter the lungs and abdomen, if not elsewhere.

If swelling persists after a day or two or even worsens, consult a doctor quickly, especially if the swelling is accompanied by a shortness of breath, as severe fluid buildup can be caused by heart failure or lifethreatening kidney, liver, or thyroid disease.

Oftentimes in such cases, the swelling in the extremities occurs because the heart is too week to pump blood efficiently.

How to prevent edema? If you already have vein disease, that can’t be cured.

Varicose veins can (and should) be treated with sclerotherapy, to prevent additional problems, but the underlying cause won’t go away. But varicose veins can be a symptom of something more serious, so it’s good to get regular checkups. As for the basic edema, if you have a clean bill of health and don’t suffer from heart failure, liver or kidney disease, then try cutting down on the sodium intake. Some doctors may prescribe a diuretic for more significant edema-related swelling, but be wary of overthe-counter homeopathic remedies, as those haven’t been fully vetted. If prescription medication for high blood pressure or an unrelated condition is the cause, consult with your doctor about trying a new prescription medication instead. Beyond that, try to avoid sitting or standing for long stretches at a time, and maintain good allaround physical health and mobility.

Earmarked foods can dial up hearing and reduce ringing

R

ecently, I’ve noticed that hearing loss is not just an affliction of the elderly as more and more younger people are now suffering from this problem, along with the maddening ringing of the ears called tinnitus. Years of attending heavy metal and hard rock concerts with unprotected eardrums, repeated use of ear buds, headphones and other auditory paraphernalia, and loud work environments from construction sites to divorce courts can also exacerbate or cause tinnitus along with hearing deterioration.

Some choice foods may be able to put the skids on the progression of this deafening duo, or even prevent it, while others will worsen these conditions. Please listen closely.

Hearing Loss, Going Bananas: Since low potassium levels have been linked to degenerative hearing loss, amp up foods with a rich store of this mineral, including bananas, apricots, cantaloupe melon, limas (especially raw ones), dark leafy greens, such as spinach and kale, spuds, sweet potatoes, avocados, tomatoes, mushrooms, wild caught salmon, and yogurt.

Folate or folic acid of the B complex family is more than just a supplement for pregnant women to enhance the brain and neurological development of the fetus. It also helps manufacture DNA, RNA and new cells throughout the body, and has been recognized as a key vitamin in warding off hearing loss. Folate is most abundant in fortified cereals, leafy greens, and organs.

Chopped liver, anyone?

Studies have also shown that foods loaded with Vitamins C and E prevent cellular damage associated with hearing loss. So load up these antioxidant powerhouses in your diet with exotic fruits (kiwi, guavas, papayas), nuts and seeds (almonds, filberts,

Use Your Noodle: Since researchers have linked a high sugar and carb diet to hearing loss, curb or eliminate the evil twin sisters (refined white flour and sugar) and replace with complex carbs, particularly whole grain pastas, brown and wild rices, quinoa, freekah, buckwheat, whole grain barley and rye, along with healthier sweeteners including stevia, agave, coconut sugar and honey.

A Grain of Salt: A low sodium diet is also recommended to halt hearing loss. Best use a light hand when holding that shaker, and read labels judiciously for hidden sources of sodium.

Tinnitus, Ringing Out the Old: According to the American Tinnitus Association, roughly 50 million Americans are afflicted with the aggravating condition of ringing in the ears, which can also be expressed as a hissing, clicking or buzzing sound at various pitch levels.

Salty foods in general have been found to restrict blood flow to the inner ear, and in turn ratchet up ringing. Other culprits include trans fatty monsters, artificial sweeteners, simple sugars, additives, flavor enhancers, particularly Monosodium Glutamate (MSG), and salicylates (a naturally occurring chemical in certain fruits, vegetables, nuts and legumes), especially peanuts, grapes, eggplant, caffeinated drinks, and grain-based distilled liquors, such as,

Also new, Schweitzer said, is that these experience items are already open for pre-bidding online at ljawf.com — just click on Attractions, and then, Silent Auction. The bidding will close at the end of the festival.

Free entertainment will also be available in the wine and beer garden. As in previous years, musical acts will take the stage in 20-30 minute sets throughout the weekend, but this year, speakers from the wine and beer industry will make presentations and answer

questions in between performances.

Event founder Sherry Ahern said, “Festivals are becoming more interactive and people want to learn more about things. Last year, we had a few stilt-walkers going around, but this year we’re going to have a bunch of them. We’re also going to have contortionists who can do amazing things.

“We love that there really is something for everyone, and that the La Jolla Art and Wine festival is ever-evolving. But what really makes us different is that it’s beautiful because it’s in La Jolla.”
