SB council candidates discuss issues BY KRISTINA HOUCK All six candidates for three open seats on the Solana Beach City Council participated in an Oct. 5 forum at the Solana Beach branch of the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito. About 200 community members attended the event to hear Mayor David Zito, along with challengers Jewel Edson, Judy Hegenauer, Chris Hohn, Edward Siegel and Cynthia Walsh, speak about a variety of issues facing Solana Beach. Council members Lesa Heebner and Peter Zahn have decided not to seek re-election. Moderated by the League of Women Voters of North County San Diego, the forum started off with candidates sharing information about their backgrounds before answering questions submitted by the audience. From preserving the community character and protecting the coastline, to supporting arts and supporting local business, council candidates agreed on many issues brought forward by the public. Many of the candidates also agreed on their top priorities for the city. Most listed protecting the quality of life and unique community character of Solana Beach as a top priority. This includes preserving the community character while permitting growth in the city. “I would ensure that development that is certain to occur is done in a manner which benefits residents and the city, and not just developers,” Edson said. “I think the most important task that council members have is to keep a good eye on the proposals and projects, the developments that come along,” Hegenauer said. “They have to make sure that they don’t impact the city negatively but also add to the community and to the feel of the SEE FORUM, A20

Del Mar Fairgrounds deems KAABOO a success BY KRISTINA HOUCK The second KAABOO proved the three-day festival needs some improvements, but overall, Del Mar Fairgrounds officials deemed it a success. “Overall, I think it was a good event,” said Tim Fennell, CEO and general manager of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the fairgrounds.

The inaugural KAABOO debuted last September with more than 100 acts on seven stages, attracting 50,000 attendees. The attendance during the second annual event last month, Fennell said, was up 71 percent. Although deemed a success, Fennell said the three-day festival does need to improve SEE KABOO, A21

Supporters, opponents argue Del Mar’s Measure R BY KRISTINA HOUCK Community members recently heard from both sides of an initiative on Del Mar’s ballot that would require voter approval for sizable developments citywide. Measure R, if passed in November, would require voter approval for proposed development projects in a commercial zone

that are 25,000 square feet or larger, allow a density bonus or require a specific plan or zoning code change. Supporters and opponents of the measure shared their views during a nearly hour-long forum Oct. 5 at Del Mar City Hall. Arnold Wiesel, president of a community SEE MEASURE, A19

SDUHSD Prop AA tour shows off coming attractions

BY KAREN BILLING San Dieguito Union High School District parents and board members got a preview of all the exciting things to come at district schools on a Prop AA tour on Oct. 5. Guests traveled by yellow school bus to Earl Warren Middle School, Torrey Pines High School and San Dieguito and Canyon Crest Academies to see a variety of campus construction projects, all made possible by the $449 bond initiative passed by voters in 2012. The tour started at what Interim SDUHSD

Superintendent Eric Dill said was perhaps the most exciting project in the district: the brand new Earl Warren campus in Solana Beach, converting one of the district’s oldest schools into its newest school. The $42 million project is right on schedule, set to welcome students in fall 2017. Next week the board will consider an amendment to add solar to the new campus. As construction on the beachy new campus has been underway, students have attended school in the temporary Seahawk

Village interim campus, which Dill said has been very successful. The district has entered a partnership with Solana Beach School District that should its general obligation bond — the $105 million Prop JJ — pass in November, the interim campus would house Skyline School students as their school is built across Lomas Santa Fe Drive. Just as Earl Warren students have embraced the interim campus, so have San Dieguito High School Academy (SDA) students. As construction on a new

22-classroom building is underway, the tour showed how students have taken ownership of the construction walls around the developing campus, painting murals and adding decorations such as flower boxes to the windows that offer a glimpse of the work underway. “They have added their own artistic flair to the construction,” said SDA Principal Bjorn Paige. “They see it as an installation piece.” The $20 million building replaces what SEE SDUHSD, A22

Q & A: Meet the San Dieguito Union High School District board candidates There are five candidates vying for two open spots on the San Dieguito Union High School District board. The election is Nov. 8. Below and on page A5, in alphabetical order, are biographies on each candidate and their answers to questions. Name: Randy Berholtz Occupation: Corporate Attorney, Life Sciences Entrepreneur, Adjunct Professor Education: Cornell: BA summa cum laude; Oxford M.Litt (Rhodes Scholar); Yale JD; University of San Diego School of Business: MBA Community Service: Parent-Teacher Committee, Del Mar Union School District; Basketball and soccer coach; Member, Rancho Bernard Community Council; President, San Diego Chapter, Republican National Lawyers Randy Association; Board member, San Diego Chapter Berholtz of the Federalist Society; Member and later Alternate, San Diego County Republican Party Central Committee; Member, LEAD San Diego Program; Board member, San Diego Chapter of the Association of Corporate Counsel; Board member, ALMA Life Science Foundation; Advisory board, Keck Graduate Institute of Applied Life Sciences at the Claremont Colleges. 1. What do you think are the biggest issues facing the San Dieguito Union High School District? a. The lack of a comprehensive, long range strategic plan. b. The passing of a budget that has slashed spending for teacher school supplies and has increased student to teacher ratios up to 35, 40 or higher per classroom. c. The approval of an embarrassingly terrible teachers union agreement that has been awarded a Golden Fleece Award by the San Diego County Taxpayers Association 2. How would you propose to address those issues? a. Development of a 10-year strategic plan that places the needs of the district’s students and their parents first. b. The provision of complete funding for teacher supplies and a plan to decrease student classroom size to 30 or less and to consider that in its future contract negotiations. SEE BERHOLTZ, A20

Name: Joyce Dalessandro Occupation: Trustee, San Dieguito Union High School District Education: B.S. Cornell University; M.A. Columbia University, curriculum development Community Service: Many years of volunteering for and leading community committees, scholarship groups, planning groups 1. What do you think are the biggest issues facing the San Dieguito Union Joyce Dalessandro High School District? The San Dieguito Union High School District is among the highest achieving districts in the state. The ever improving level of excellence that we expect from our schools takes a great deal of time, effort and knowledge to accomplish. We seek the best solutions possible in order to provide the finest education to each and every student. We have a commitment, as a district, to continuous improvement. Critical issues abound: Seeking a highly qualified superintendent; maximizing our dollars within the constraints of our budget; closing the achievement gap; attracting the best and brightest teachers; enhancing student well-being and connectedness; school safety; tackling the challenges of evolving curriculum; remaining cutting-edge in expanded learning opportunities, facilities and educational practices. 2. How would you propose to address those issues? Successfully addressing these issues requires experience, commitment, time, effort and a positive can-do attitude. Each issue presents its own challenges. I work hard every day on behalf of our students to face the challenges, study the issues and apply my expertise toward working out solutions. 3.

What do you think are the biggest issues facing the San Dieguito Union Beth Hergesheimer High School District? Our district’s most pressing issue is the need to hire a new superintendent. My first priority will be to find the best candidate possible for superintendent, so that we can return our district’s focus to the cooperative partnership between students, teachers, parents, community, and administration that has proven to produce great results such as high student achievement and success, great teachers, facilities and programs, and schools of choice. Developing thoughtful budgets and maintaining healthy reserves, while continually seeking new ways to help all students succeed are some of the additional issues I will continue to direct attention toward. 2. How would you propose to address those issues? I look forward to a fresh start in the coming year that will include joint superintendent /board member workshops where we can find ways to work together to build upon the academic excellence that has been the standard in our district. I will also seek the creation of additional opportunities for sharing accurate information with our community through public forums, planning meeting and workshops, the district website and other available media to assure our entire community that we are listening, responsive and transparent. 3.

ECC’s: Red Ribbon Committee, Reflections Art Committee, Arts Attack, Jog-A-Thon fundraiser, and yard duty, interim parent liaison for Maverick Athletic Boosters for LCC. 1.) What do you think are the biggest issues facing the San Dieguito Union High School District? The district recently announced a $4 million surplus, years of surpluses and the “highest reserves ever.” And yet, $2.2 million has been reduced from this year’s budget for supplies and materials. Career pathway courses and electives were not fully funded. Our families should not be funding school essentials such as supplies, courses or computers when such surpluses exist. •Our teachers’ contract eliminated class size maximums even though our class sizes already significantly exceed the national average. Many classes are now in the 40s. •We must better equip our students for the 21st century workplace using innovative instructional models. SEE LYNCH, A20

What do you think are the biggest issues facing the San Dieguito Union High School District? New issues will surface, but we can be certain of two: the funding and completion of Prop AA projects, and the renewal of our teachers’ contract. Our board has been split 3-2 in funding some critical Prop AA modernization and expansion projects; a new majority could stop these voter-approved efforts. Our current teachers’ contract was also approved along a 3-2 vote, and includes a clause that automatically increases salaries to ensure they are always the highest in the county. Yes, our teachers should be well paid, but the board should not abdicate its fiduciary responsibility SEE NASCENZI, A20

Community Emergency Response Team’s training is Oct. 19 Did you know that FEMA and the city of Encinitas pay for North County residents to be trained to help in the case of a catastrophic disaster? In 2004, the Encinitas Fire Department started the Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) program to prepare residents for a catastrophic disaster. This program teaches citizens basic emergency skills and how to respond effectively to disasters as part of a team. A Training Academy for residents of Del Mar, Solana Beach, Encinitas and Rancho Santa Fe begins this month with orientation set for Oct. 19 at the Encinitas Community Center. The academy will include four training sessions plus a final training activity on Nov. 5. While the academy is free, limited space is available so interested residents are asked to look up the schedule (at

www.enccert.org) and register by sending an email to Alewin@encinitasca.gov with name, email, complete address and phone number(s). The program includes special training for basic fire suppression and medical care. Volunteers will also learn how to size-up search and rescue situations, such as a collapsed building, to determine whether it is safe to go in, according to a news release. Using the training learned in the classroom and during exercises, CERT members can assist others in their neighborhood or workplace following an event when professional responders are not immediately available to help. CERT members also are encouraged to support emergency response agencies by taking a more active role in emergency preparedness projects in their community. SEE RESPONSE, A19

Del Mar council discusses KAABOO festival concerns

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although last month’s KAABOO caused fewer noise complaints than last year, Del Mar City Council members still have some concerns about the three-day music festival. Dozens of people from the cities of Del Mar, Solana Beach and San Diego complained about hearing concerts from their homes during the inaugural KAABOO last September at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. This year the city of Del Mar received seven complaints, six of which stemmed from noise, compared to 70 complaints during last year’s event. Last year 91 people made 123 calls to a KAABOO hotline to complain about noise. This year 46 people made 56 calls. “Noise was a huge concern last year,” Acting City Manager Kristen Crane said at the Oct. 3 Del Mar council meeting. “It does look like there’s improvement, but there’s still room for improvement as well.” KAABOO organizers took several steps to decrease noise during the second annual event.

In a July presentation to community members in the Del Mar Fairgrounds Board Room, Julie Coleman, director of community relations for KAABOO, said the festival committed an additional $30,000 for audio design, monitoring and containment systems. Among other efforts to combat noise in surrounding neighborhoods, KAABOO repositioned stages and redesigned audio systems, deployed noise canceling technology, and implemented an independent sound monitoring system in the community. Although these steps helped lower the noise, music was still louder than it should have been, according to Del Mar officials. “In general, I think the noise levels this year were a lot lower than last year,” Councilman Al Corti said. “But I take exception to the (KAABOO report) that basically indicated that there were no noise violations and I don’t think that’s a fact.” A report from KAABOO states that noise levels measured at locations in Del Mar, SEE KAABOO, A22

Bestselling author, former TV writer to discuss new book at RSF Library BY LOIS ALTER MARK s soon as Maria Semple, author of the wildly successful “Where’d You Go, Bernadette,” starts talking, it’s easy to see who inspired her beloved character. She’s down-to-earth, self-deprecating and hilarious, which readers will discover for themselves when she reads from her new book, “Today Will Be Different,” at the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Guild’s October Author Talk on Oct. 24 at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. “Today Will Be Different” is about a day in the life of Eleanor Flood, a former animator on a hit TV show and a middle-aged mom who’s married to a hand surgeon to the stars. The story takes place over one 24-hour period and covers a tremendous amount of ground – both physically and emotionally. The book opens with a promise Eleanor makes to herself that many readers will relate to: “Today will be different. Today I will be present. Today, anyone I speak to, I will look them in the eye and listen deeply. Today I’ll play a board game with Timby. I’ll initiate sex with Joe. Today I will take pride in my appearance. I’ll shower, get dressed in proper clothes, and change into yoga clothes only for yoga, which today I will actually attend. Today I won’t swear. I won’t talk about money. Today there will be

an ease about me. My face will be relaxed, its resting place a smile. Today I will radiate calm. Kindness and self-control will abound. Today I will buy local. Today I will be my best self, the person I’m capable of being. Today will be different.” And, of course, it is – but not in any of the ways Eleanor planned. “That’s how I wake up in the morning,” admitted Semple in a phone interview that was more like an intimate conversation with a best friend. “It’s very much me. I could sit here and act like I was a better writer but the fact is it’s just me.” For more than a decade, Semple was a writer and producer for top TV shows such as “Arrested Development,” “Mad About You” and “Beverly Hills 90210.” But when her daughter was born, Semple decided it was time for a change. “I loved writing for TV and it suited me to be with all the funny people,” she said. “But the weird thing was I didn’t watch TV. I was much more interested in reading books. Plus, those crazy hours don’t go well with motherhood. It’s an unsavory combination.” When her friend, novelist Bruce Wagner, suggested she write a novel, she was intrigued. “It honestly never occurred to me that someone as fundamentally scatterbrained as me could write fiction. So I just started writing, and it was the happiest work

of my life. I had the best time, and I loved sitting alone and coming up with scenarios. I just knew this was what I was born to do.” Semple’s debut novel, “The One Is Mine,” is about a woman living what looks like the perfect Hollywood life – except she’s deeply unhappy. “It’s got the themes I think I’m always going to be going back to,” said Semple. “With that first book, I was trying to put on a more serious hat. I loosened it up enormously with ‘Bernadette’ And then, with ‘Today Will Be Different,’ I pushed it even further. It’s just my voice.” That voice resonated so strongly with readers, that “Where’d You Go Bernadette” spent over a year on the

New York Times bestseller list and became a book club favorite. “Because people loved it so much, I feel like, with the new book, I’ve just been waiting to see what the relative level of disappointment would be,” she said. “I thought if people are mildly disappointed, that would be a victory. As it turns out, people seem to like it.” That’s an understatement. The reviews have been raves, and Semple is thrilled. “It makes me feel really good – mainly because it’s really easy,” she laughed. “Now that I know, oh, it’s my voice people are responding to, it’s not that much of a reach to write about an early onset Alzheimer’s-like

menopausal woman who talks about everyone she comes across.” For all their humor, though, Semple’s novels are rich with emotion, and nowhere is that more evident than in the 16-page graphic novel included in “Tomorrow Will Be Different.” The work of Eric Chase Anderson, brother of filmmaker Wes Anderson, “The Flood Girls” tells Eleanor’s childhood story, and it’s both beautiful and devastating. “I love physically holding a book in my hand and constantly going back to look at the pictures,” said Semple. “Because Eleanor is an illustrator, I thought I should show some of her work. I really wanted to kick it up a notch so the book would be a great experience for the reader. You know, if you look at my Twitter account, the subtitle is, ‘I make it nice for the people.’ That’s me – Maria Semple: I make it nice for the people.” Semple will be making it nice for the people on Oct. 24 from 10:30 a.m. to noon at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, thanks to the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Guild in partnership with Warwick’s. Tickets are $55, and include a continental breakfast and a signed copy of “Today Will Be Different.” For reservations or more information, visit www.rsflibraryguild.org or call 858-756-4780.

Dia del Sol fashion show to benefit UCP of San Diego

BY KAREN BILLING The Beach & Country Guild of Rancho Santa Fe will host the annual Dia del Sol fashion show on Wednesday, Oct. 19 at the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort in La Costa. The “fabulous” annual luncheon, live and silent auction and fashion show event benefits United Cerebral Palsy (UCP) of San Diego. The favorite part of the event for everyone is the children’s fashion show, featuring children with cerebral palsy. “There’s not a dry eye in the house,” said member Deanna Murphy. “It’s a great way to bring it back to what we’re really there for, to help individuals who have cerebral palsy have fulfilling lives.” Co-chaired this year by Nancy Sappington and Cruz Zahran, the theme of the event is “Mystique,” and the professional runway show is being presented by Bloomingdale’s. Longstanding emcee Kimberly Hunt of 10 News will again host the event. The guild started in 1970 with a few women in Rancho Santa Fe who found out that UCP in San Diego County had no one to help raise funds. They held a tea to raise money and were inspired by the success of their efforts and their events steadily grew larger. “It’s gotten to the point where UCPSD really counts on the dollars we bring to them,” Murphy said, noting there is a very personal connection between the group and the organization: The president of the guild even holds a board seat on UCPSD. “We see how much every penny means to them.” United Cerebral Palsy’s mission is to advance independence, productivity and full

The organization’s mission includes everything from assisting someone in finding their first job, helping a child express himself through technology, to breaking down barriers so all people can fully participate in the community. UCP offers several types of day and employment programs for adults with developmental disabilities, as well as support programs for family members.

Melanie Limas An, 15, of Carmel Valley, is the in-house videographer for the San Diego House Rabbit Society, a job she has done well enough to earn the organization’s 2016 Volunteer of the Year.

CCA teen is Rabbit Society’s Volunteer of the Year BY CHRIS SAUR Three years ago, Melanie Limas An — then a seventh-grader at Carmel Valley Middle School but already interested in media — saw in an email from the San Diego House Rabbit Society that the organization was soliciting for a volunteer videographer. Melanie assumed they were looking for an adult. However, Melanie was talented enough to handle the job and has done it well enough for the past three years that, in 2016, the sophomore at Canyon Crest Academy was named the San Diego chapter’s Volunteer of the Year. Melanie attended the recent awards ceremony, which doubles as a celebration for all of the volunteers — this year it was at Dave & Busters — with no idea she was even being considered for the award. She was just having some fun. “The volunteers got to hang out at the arcade and then there was a potluck; I was really happy I got to come and just relax with the other volunteers,” Melanie said. “Then the director of (the San Diego branch) of the House Rabbit Society started naming off nominees and people for different categories and eventually they called Volunteer of the Year. They called my name and I was shocked!” But there was a good reason Melanie won out over college-age and adult volunteers, as more than 200 bunnies have been adopted since she began as in-house videographer, where her main duty is making videos of rabbits to upload to the organization’s YouTube channel. This allows families to preview the potential bunnies they may want to adopt before they come into the House Rabbit Society location in Kearney Mesa. “We see young volunteers like Melanie as the future to the success of our organization,” said San Diego House Rabbit Society Board Director Patricia Mulcahy. “They do everything from the front office to the back bunny care. Her energy, creativity

and enthusiasm paints a bright future.” The videos can be viewed at www.youtube.com/user/SDHRS “I go in there every other Sunday and I get to take videos of the adoptable rabbits that they have,” Melanie explained. “It’s hard because each rabbit has its own personality. I try to get them to play or move around so that families can see how friendly or playful the bunnies can be. Sometimes they’ll come up and nudge the camera with their nose, which always makes an adorable shot.” The two loves that Melanie brings together for her volunteer career can be traced back to mom Gloria Limas, a former news reporter who grew up in Texas with nearly 50 bunnies. Melanie and her brother Danny, 13, each had pet rabbits as youngsters — though Snowy and Peanut Butter have passed on — and now the family, which also includes dad Kyong, has a bunny named Oreo. As for her video skills, Melanie got started in a video program at Ocean Air Elementary School, where once a month they would put on a news broadcast for the entire school. “I look back on it and I cringe because it’s not very good, but it was so much fun,” said Melanie, who then did a weekly news broadcast in middle school and is now working at CCTV at Canyon Crest. A straight-A student and accomplish tap dancer, Melanie has also been accepted to CCA’s prestigious cinema conservatory. “I have so many more options available to me because of what I’ve done at the San Diego Rabbit Society,” the articulate young woman continued. “I really love volunteering there, I love helping the little rabbits, they are always so adorable and it’s the best volunteering career I could have.” Melanie plans to be around rabbits for the rest of her life, and she is considering a career in psychiatry, if not filmmaking. Her CCA videos can be seen at www.youtube.com/user/CCATelevision, and more information on the San Diego House Rabbit Society is www.sandiegorabbits.org.

Girl Scouts San Diego honors Carmel Valley volunteers During its annual Volunteer Celebration awards ceremony at the San Diego Convention Center, Girl Scouts San Diego honored two Carmel Valley residents.

Girls rugby comes to Carmel Valley

An all girls noncontact rugby program will be offered this fall in Carmel Valley, targeting girls in grades 3-8. The noncontact program will align the with the launching of girls rugby as a club sport at Torrey Pines High School this coming winter. In an exciting development driven by the local Mustangs Rugby Club in conjunction with San Diego Girls Rugby, a non-contact rugby league is being established and will train at Carmel Del Mar Park starting Oct. 31. Hannah Lockwood, who is running the league and is a former Olympic squad member and current team member of the San Diego Surfers rugby team, commented “This is a fantastic opportunity for girls to get into a new fun sport at the ground floor. The college opportunities for girls are really opening up with colleges all over the country offering rugby programs, with a number also offering financial assistance.” The new touch rugby league will teach the girls the basis of the game of rugby in a 7 a- side noncontact format that is fun, fast and exciting. Abigail G. who was the first girl in Mustangs history to sign up for the rugby 7’s last summer was excited to hear the news “I will be all in – rugby is so much fun and the chance to play with my friends and improve my skills is too good to miss.” People interested in signing up for the noncontact rugby league should visit www.sandiegogirlsrugby.com. U.S. Olympic rugby team member and Torrey Pines High MICHAEL LEE/KLC FOTOS School alum Jessica Javelet will be coaching the girls team at Jessica “JJ” Javelet Torrey Pines that sees the girls playing 7’s rugby in a playing in a recent tournament style format over a six-week period in January tournament in Brazil. and February. “I wanted to bring girls rugby to Torrey Pines – just getting as many girls involved as possible now that it is an Olympic sport and I think more colleges are going to start carrying it,” Javelet said. This year in San Diego 18 high schools will have girls rugby – which is the fastest growing team sport in America. Javelet commented after the first practice session, “We had 16 girls turn out and I was impressed with how quickly everyone picked up passing the ball and running at space. I want as many girls as possible to experience the sport that enabled me to reach my Olympic dream at Rio.” After the high school season ends, the Mustangs Club will also be starting a girls program. For more information on girls rugby go to www.sandiegoyouthrugby.com or call Mustangs Club President David Pool at (858) 405-9271.

Local youngsters come up big at Pan-Am Championships BY CHRIS SAUR While six kids from the same North County martial arts studio combining to win 15 titles and several other medals at the Pan American Taekwondo Championships last month in Uruguay is an incredible accomplishment, the most impressive part is that no one in the taekwondo world was surprised. That’s because the six athletes — 13-year-old Cameron Twomey, James Knee (12), Kane Church (12), Grace Dabir (10), Luke Knee (10) and Channah Zeitung (8) — train with Senior Master Ken Church at Church’s ATA Martial Arts, with locations in Carmel Valley and Encinitas. Church’s students (there are nearly 900 of them currently) are the most decorated in the United States, if not worldwide. Since Church’s wife Patricia joined to compliment Ken’s teaching in 2002, the school has averaged more than 20 world titles per year, including posting 33 this season. But for the Churches, it’s about more than winning titles, it is about preparing their students to succeed at life. “All of the different championships, they are a small thing,” said Ken Church, a seventh-degree black belt and former world champion who was inducted into the American Taekwondo Association Hall of Fame in 2012. “The bigger picture is understanding what martial arts training can really do, (learning to) overcome challenges and be great.” The World Championships are held in Little Rock, Arkansas each summer, but the competition at the Pan American Championships might be even more fierce as many of the world’s top performers live in South America and don’t always have the means to travel to Arkansas. “It takes a certain amount of confidence to be able to go to a South American country (and compete),” Ken Church said. “That’s why my son (Kane, for instance) goes annually to the Pan Ams, to make sure that he is fighting the best guys in the world.” Kane Church, a second degree black belt who attends Horizon Prep in Rancho Santa Fe, was a silver medalist in

Six students from the local Church’s ATA Martial Arts studio — back row from left, Cameron Twomey, instructor Patricia Church and Kane Church; middle row from left, James Knee, Grace Dabir and Luke Knee; front, Channah Zeitung — won titles at the recent Pam American Taekwondo Championships in Uruguay. Sparring at the recent Pan Am Championships after winning a world title in Arkansas a few months earlier. The master’s son has won multiple world titles. Twomey led the local sextet with six gold medals at the Pan Ams, which were contested at the Punta Este Convention and Exhibition Center Sept. 9-11 in Punta del Este, Uruguay. Competing in her second Pan Am Championships, the Carmel

Valley Middle School student took titles in Traditional Forms, Weapons (Kamas), Sparring, Creative Forms, Creative Weapons (Kamas) and Extreme Weapons (Kamas). Zeitung, meanwhile, won five golds — in Traditional Forms, Weapons (Bo Staff), Extreme Weapons (Bo Staff) and Creative Forms and Weapons (Bo Staff) — and added two silvers. The Carmel Del Mar Elementary school student is a first degree black belt who appeared on Katie Couric’s show at age 4, when she was believed to be the youngest martial artist to perform on TV. Zeitung is ranked first in the world among black belts ages 8 and under. Also among the 1,430 athletes from 20 countries competing at the Pan American Championships was Dabir, a first degree black belt who captured gold medals in Traditional Forms and Weapons (single Nunchuck) and fought her way to a bronze in Sparring. Dabir attends Notre Dame Academy in San Diego. Pan Am competitors had to qualify in their age division and be ranked in the top 10 in the world to earn the berth. The Knee brothers each met that criteria, then each brought home championships as James, a second degree black belt who goes to Earl Warren Middle School in Solana Beach, won a title in Traditional Forms as did Luke, a first degree black belt and student at Del Mar Heights Elementary. “They all did great, they worked really, really hard,” said Ken Church. “You think about it, they traveled 14 or 17 hours to get there depending which way they went. The fortitude of these individuals is immense, the way they represent the country, their families and themselves. “The experience is priceless.” Patricia Church added: “Attending international championships such as the Pan Am in Uruguay provides the opportunity for our children to learn about different cultures while still representing their own country.” And it was a team effort as the six kids cheered each other on and even gathered for an impromptu training session in their hotel ballroom the night before the event, helping each other practice.

Graduates of the college’s advanced manufacturing and engineering programs have a 92-percent employment rate, and students have been hired at companies ranging from Callaway Golf, IOS Technologies, Southwest Greene International, and ViaSat, to name a few. “As a community college, a large part of our role is to prepare students for living-wage jobs that enable them to contribute to the economy and society in general,” said Dean of Career & Technical Education Al Taccone. From a new, first-in-the-nation, baccalaureate program in biomanufacturing to long-established allied health and nursing options, MiraCosta College is playing a key role in building the local workforce and preparing students to become business and industry leaders, medical professionals, web designers, personal fitness trainers, and more.

Dolan learned of the accelerated machinist program through a state Employment Development Department career center while collecting unemployment benefits. A counselor noted that there was a huge demand for, and severe shortage of, qualified machinists in the area. When Dolan learned a state grant would pay for the tuition to cover the three-month, 40-hour-per-week program, he was in. “I would definitely recommend that people look into what MiraCosta has to offer,” said Dolan. “The college is looking out for the best interests of its students, and it was instrumental in setting me up for my new career. I couldn’t be happier with what I’m doing now.” Carlsbad resident and nursing graduate Lauren Flaherty (pictured below, right) agrees. Flaherty took advantage of MiraCosta College’s intimate class sizes and talented professors when pursing her degree and now is working as a nurse with plans to earn an advance degree at Cal State San Marcos. “I really enjoyed how small and intimate my classes were, and I had really awesome teachers, where I could get one-on-one instruction with very personal, quality rapport,” said Flaherty, who grad-uated with an associate degree in nursing in the spring of 2015. “Consider yourself blessed if accept-ed into the MiraCosta Nursing Program!” MiraCosta College (760) 757.2121 | www.miracosta.edu | Email: pio@miracosta.edu Oceanside Campus: 1 Barnard Drive, Oceanside, CA 92056

MEASURE From Carmel Valley in the south to Camp Pendleton in the north, North San Diego County depends on MiraCosta College to prepare students for four-year college and future careers.

NORTH COAST - OCTOBER 13, 2016 - PAGE A15

PREPARING STUDENTS TO TRANSFER

As the cost of attending University of California and State University schools rises, more students are starting their education at the community college level. MiraCosta College helps to ensure that students who canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford the high price of a university still have the opportunity to succeed in college and careers.

PREPARING STUDENTS FOR CAREERS

MiraCosta College is an essential part of the North County economy. We are a critical partner to local employers in biotech, manufacturing, and other industries that help our area and economy thrive.

SERVING OUR VETERANS

MiraCosta provides job placement, job training and counseling to approximately 1,800 Navy, Marine and other military veterans and their families each year.

COST OF MEASURE MM To continue providing a high-quality education for local students, the MiraCosta Community College District has placed MEASURE MM, a local facilities bond measure, on the ballot this November. The measure may generate $455 million to upgrade our college and will cost approximately $14.99 per $100,000 of assessed value (not market value) per year.

THE MEASURE WOULD PROVIDE LOCALLY-CONTROLLED FUNDING TO: Improve the Veterans Center to provide job training, job placement, counseling and support services Upgrade career training facilities for science, health care, technology and skilled trades Update instructional technology for improved student learning in core subjects like math, science and technology Improve access for students with disabilities Repair or replace leaky roofs, worn-out ďŹ&#x201A;oors and restrooms, old rusty plumbing and faulty electrical systems Update science centers and labs to allow for state-of-the-art courses in biology, chemistry and physical sciences

FISCAL ACCOUNTABILITY WOULD BE REQUIRED All funds would stay in our community to support our local community college and students No funds could be taken by the State No funds could be spent on salaries or pensions

San Marcos wins wild shootout BY WALTER BAYS In the most exciting game of the year the San Marcos Knights visited the Torrey Pines Falcons. The Knights had outscored their five previous opponents 169-117 while the Falcons defense allowed just 3 points in the previous three games. Ball control of the San Marcos offense contrasted to Torrey Pines’ big plays, and the lead changed repeatedly. Sully O’Brien took the first snap of the game 80 yards to put the Falcons ahead 7-0. After breaking one tackle at the line of scrimmage and then juking a safety, nobody had the speed to catch him. San Marcos came back with an 80-yard drive, including a fourth down conversion to tie the game at 7. Andre Mieiers ran the ensuing kickoff back 91 yards, and Gabe Gmyr ran for the touchdown to put Torrey Pines back on top. In Q2, Torrey Pines lost a fumble on a backwards pass and the Knights quickly capitalized to tie at 14. O’Brien made a 45-yard run but San Marcos’ defense held and took over on downs. They attempted a 47-yard field goal after their drive stalled, but it was no good. Late in the half Luke Duerr scampered for 43 yards but time ran out and the half ended tied. San Marcos took the second half kickoff 68 yards, were stalled by Kevin Misak, and kicked a 27-yard field goal to go ahead 17-14. On the Falcons’

Gabe Gmyr scores Falcons' second touchdown. first snap, Duerr ran 80 yards for a 21-17 lead. Carsen Gentes intercepted to start Torrey Pines near midfield but they went three and out, as did San Marcos. Q4 opened putting football wins and losses into perspective. Running back Quadir Talley made a nice gain but he and the ball went down separately as he was scissored between two tacklers, and did not get back up. Trainers tended him unmoving as play was suspended for 40 long

minutes, with fans not knowing his injury. The loudest cheers of the night came not for the big plays, but when as Quadir was loaded into the ambulance he raised his hand and waved to the crowd. Everyone’s thoughts and prayers are with the Talley family for his full recovery, so much more important than a win. When play resumed, San Marcos drove for a touchdown to go up 24-21. O’Brien again streaked downfield, but the Knights did have

one player who could match his speed, and caught him by a shoestring on the Knight 21. Torrey Pines had to settle for a field goal to tie 24-24. Falcon kicker Joey Matsen hit every field goal and extra point all night. With 1:37 remaining, San Marcos tried desperately to score. Misak sacked the quarterback, then Gmyr diagnosed a flea flicker and with 7 seconds left on the 11 San Marcos tried a field goal. It was blocked by

San Marcos scored, then Torrey Pines took over. On fourth and two at the 17 the Falcons tried to draw the Knights offsides to no avail.

PREP GIRLS VOLLEYBALL

CCA co-hosting one of the West Coast's biggest tournaments BY GIDEON RUBIN Canyon Crest Academy’s volleyball team over the summer traveled half a world away to play in an elite tournament in Europe. Over the weekend, the Ravens will compete in one of the most prestigious tournaments on the West Coast, and they won’t have to travel nearly as far. This time, they’ll be hosting it. Some of the nation’s best teams and players will descend upon the area for the Oct. 14-15 Hudl Southern California Invitational. CCA is co-hosting the 64-team tournament with Westview High School. The tournament will be split into two divisions held at three sites: CCA, Alliant International University and San Diego Volleyball Club. The 14th annual version of the tournament is being co-hosted by CCA and Westview for fourth straight year. It started out as a small local tournament hosted by Granite Hills for nine years before Haas and Westview coach Nancy Ros expanded it into a an event that will showcase some of the most talented players on the West Coast. CCA is among six San Diego-area teams that will compete in the tournament. Santa Fe Christian, Westview, Bishop’s, Del Norte and Francis Parker are the others. SFC is led by Lexi Sun, the nation’s top high school player according to Haas. The

Division 1 bracket, which also includes Hamilton of Chandler, Ariz., ranked No. 4 in USA Today’s Region 9 (California, Arizona, Nevada and Alaska). The Ravens made their deepest run in the tournament last season, advancing to the semifinals. They lost to eventual champion Desert Vista (Tempe, Ariz.). “The field is brutal,” Haas said. “The caliber of teams and the quality of volleyball is so high, just making it to the top 16 will be very difficult for any of the San Diego teams, including us. We have no preconceived notions of automatically making it to the top bracket.” The tournament features a team with one of the tallest front lines Haas said he’s ever seen on a high school team. Pleasant Grove (Utah) has one player who’s 6-foot-8, flanked by teammates who are 6-4 and 6-3 on the front line, along with three others who are 6-2 and two six-footers. “We see kids that big, but to have a team stacked with kids like that is unusual,” Haas said. Last year’s Desert Vista team was led by Rachael Kramer, a 6-8 middle blocker who now plays collegiately at Division I Florida. The tournament will be held for a 14th year, and its first with Hudl, a sports software company, as its sponsor. Hudl replaces cheerleading and volleyball SEE VOLLEYBALL, A19

Thank you, parents! We are fortunate to live in a community with enthusiastic parental support of our schools. The San Dieguito Union High School District would not be the highest performing district in the county if it were not for your involvement. I would like to thank all of our parents who have contributed to our five parent foundations, the four Parent, Teacher & Student Associations, and each of the Associated Student Body organizations. Our students and teachers value your generosity which supplements our outstanding academic, artistic, and athletic programs. Please consider volunteering for a committee or leadership role in a parent organization. It’s a rewarding way to connect with teachers, administrators and other parents at your student’s school. You might not know that San Dieguito Union High School District actually receives less funding per student than our local elementary districts despite middle and high school programs typically costing more to operate. I don’t have enough space here to explain the complicated nature of California school funding, but I can say we would not be able to provide the same opportunities our community demands without the support of our parent groups. The table below shows the amount of Local Control Funding Formula or Property Tax per student (average daily attendance) for local districts in the recently concluded 2015-16 school year: District 2015-16 • San Dieguito Union High School District $7,895 • Cardiff Elementary School District $10,498 • Del Mar Union School District $9,714 • Encinitas Union School District $8,358 • Rancho Santa Fe School District $3,161 • Solana Beach School District $11,609 We do a lot with a lot less. We are grateful for everything our parents do to help provide a world-class public education for our students. On a final note, I would like to caution our parents to be careful when donating to online fundraising (crowdfunding) sites. Crowdfunding sites can appear to be raising money for schools, but actually have no relationship to the official school-connected foundations, PTSAs or ASBs. These sites may also charge high commissions which erode the value of your contributions. If you have any questions concerning the legitimacy of an online fundraising campaign, please contact your school or donate directly to the official foundation/PTSA/ASB. Eric Dill SDUHSD Interim Superintendent

San Dieguito – Lack of class size maximums was not a wise decision The California Teachers Association considers the use of pupil/teacher ratios an essential

OPINION contract provision and has taken the position that smaller class sizes are “key to improving student learning” in all grades because they allow“ for the optimum development of a student’s potential and ensure individual attention to each student.” Yet our board majority approved a teachers’ contract for the San Dieguito Union High School District that does not contain teacher/pupil ratios to protect our students’ class sizes. Is this a problem? Yes, according to parents whose children are now in classes with 40+ students in them. The national average for secondary classes is approximately 26.8 per the National Center for Education Statistics. In our district, the average class size for our high schools is already in the mid 30s and per the master schedule for this year, many of our classes are now in the 40s. On page 89 of the current contract, there is a sample “compliant” teaching schedule with a Spanish class of 58 students. A principal recently sent out a letter acknowledging that the larger classes were taking their “toll” on students and that the larger class sizes would be addressed. And, on a back to school night, a teacher shared that temporary seating had to be brought in for students. But class sizes are still in the 40s. Parents are now being told that the teachers “welcome the larger sizes,” but it’s not just a teacher issue. I tried to resolve this issue with the union president through emails, and urged the school board to amend the contract through a public comment, yet no action was taken. I then met with an administrator and was told that there was some thought that, at least with respect to AP classes, students should be able to handle the larger classes sizes because it is supposed to be college level instruction. But, our students are not in college. Students get to select colleges based upon their learning needs, many colleges actually have classes smaller than what we’re offering our high school students, and colleges offer free teacher and teacher’s aide hours outside of class for additional and individualized help. Regardless, shouldn’t the parents and students have had more opportunity for input before the class size maximums were eliminated? Larger classes affect our students’ ability to participate in the limited lab space in science classes, ability to participate verbally in class, obtain individualized attention and much more. Let’s make sure that the next teachers contract is not approved without pupil/teacher ratios, that there are more transparent discussions about the contract terms generally, and that there is more notice to the public when something this important is eliminated or changed.

A CCA is not a good deal

Union-Tribune reporter Phil Diehl on Oct. 6, 2016 quotes candidates Zito and Hegenauer as they responded to questions about the proposed Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) at the candidates forum on Oct. 5. Both candidates oppose a public vote on a CCA. Mr. Zito said “he would be nervous about putting it to a public vote because the issue is so complicated.” I find this a disrespectful opinion of the people Mr. Zito represents. It seems Mr. Zito finds his constituents are incapable of thoughtful analysis. I can assure Mr. Zito that most Solana Beach residents are quite capable of simple arithmetic regarding utility costs, despite the dearth of objective total cost data currently available regarding the CCA option. As to Ms. Hegenauer, she also said that no vote is needed. She maintains people can choose to participate; however, that is not true. Initially, people are forced to join per state legislation (AB 117). And subsequent to being forced to join, a customer can leave the collective at some-to-be-determined cost in dollars and labor, perverting the definition of “choice.” Preferably, the city would not even entertain this reckless course of financial action and taxpayer liability at all. However, if they are so determined to institute this immoral environmental position, at least let the residents vote, and initially choose to participate, as opposed to being forced to participate. It is worth repeating what another letter writer submitted from the marketing plan, which is misnamed a technical analysis, located on the city website: bit.ly/solanabeachcca and on page 66, the marketing plan authors state: 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. Hence the proponents of establishing CCAs know that based on merit and value alone, people will not choose to participate. CCAs then can be established only through government force. Finally, an observation or two about Del Mar Measure R: The right to public vote for projected total costs for CCA provided electrical certain development projects...“when a proposed power. Our current SDG&E monthly bill states project on a commercial property of 25,000 sq. ft. that of the total cost we owe, about 46 percent is or larger cannot be legally built under our identified as “electric delivery” cost, the present community plan and zoning laws.” It remainder as “electric usage” cost.

Carmel Del Mar science teacher wins climate science funding and resources for students Jennifer Munoz is the science teacher at Carmel Del Mar Elementary School (CDM). Thanks to funding secured by Munoz, students at CDM will have a unique opportunity to learn about climate science from a multi-generational perspective. With funding from StayCool4Grandkids and the Climate Science Alliance (made possible by a grant from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA)), CDM’s sixth grade students will participate in lab experiments with Scripps Institute of Oceanography graduate students; see a presentation by a UCSD Scripps Institute scientist who will share stories about working in the field as a marine biologist; and go on a field trip to Batiquitos Lagoon in Carlsbad. As part of this program, all of the students at CDM will get to participate in an interactive assembly with a performance by a Nos De Chita, a Brazilian dance group teaching environmental awareness. Climate science books will also be donated to CDM’s library. And, with the guidance of CDM’s art teacher, Nicole Nelson, the students will do an art project that integrates their climate science learning. Volunteers from StayCool4Grandkids, a nonprofit organization of well-informed

Jennifer Munoz grandparents working to protect future generations from climate change, will be helping out with guided investigations in the lab and during the assembly.

FROM MEASURE, A1 group called Del Mar Hillside Community Association and the person who led the effort to put the measure on the ballot, along with Roger Arnold, a professor of economics at Cal State San Marcos, spoke on behalf of supporters. Speaking in opposition were Bud Emerson, a member of the city’s finance committee, and former Del Mar City Manager Wayne Dernetz. Moderated by the League of Women Voters of North County San Diego, the forum started with opening statements and then both sides took turns answering questions from the audience. “Election Day November 2016 could be the one and only opportunity the residents of Del Mar get to say that they want a more direct voice than they currently have in matters that relate to the appearance, livability and characteristics of their city,” Arnold said. A group opposed to the size and density of Watermark Del Mar, a 48-unit multifamily complex planned for the corner of Jimmy Durante Boulevard and San Dieguito Drive, circulated a petition and submitted it to the city and the San Diego County Registrar of Voters in May with 505 signatures from residents supporting the ballot measure. Only 286 signatures, representing 10 percent of the registered voters in the city, were needed to qualify the measure for the upcoming general election. The Registrar of Voters confirmed in June that the measure met the required number of signatures. After the signatures were confirmed, the council in July agreed to put the initiative on

conservation of resources.” She believes this work will also “inspire the students to be environmental stewards of our beautiful coast.” “I am grateful to these organizations for providing CDM students with this extraordinary learning opportunity, and to the community for continuing to help fund STEAM+ specialists like Mrs. Munoz and Mrs. Nelson who add tremendous value to our kids’ educations” said Ruby Evans. Evans is a CDM parent who serves, together with Josh Raysman, as a member of the Board of Directors of the Del Mar Schools Education Foundation (DMSEF) representing the families of CDM. DMSEF is a nonprofit charity with the sole purpose of raising money to help fund STEAM+ specialist salaries in the Del Mar Union School District. “This is a perfect example of how STEAM+ specialists like Mrs. Munoz and Mrs. Nelson provide hands-on learning experiences that will help our kids solve the problems of the future, and inspire them for a lifetime of learning” added Raysman. The President and Chairman of the Board of DMSEF, Ty Humes, is “excited about the leadership role that both Josh and Ruby have taken on behalf of the great families at CDM and the DMSEF board to help ensure the continued success of CDM’s STEAM+ program.”

the November ballot rather than adopt an ordinance they did not support. Spearheaded by Wiesel, he and other supporters have since said that the measure is not about Watermark, but about allowing voters to have a say in the community. “Measure R essentially says that major zoning changes and the like are far too important to the residents of Del Mar to be left up to just a handful of people,” Arnold said. “The right to public vote is the right to exercise our most representative form of government, making certain the general interests and concerns of our entire community are heard, as opposed to the narrower interests and concerns of a few city council members,” added Wiesel, who has lived in Del Mar for 25 years. “Measure R explicitly asks: Do the registered voters of Del Mar want the right to public vote, requiring voter approval for certain development projects?” They also contended that the measure is appropriate for Del Mar due to the size of the small coastal city. “Projects in Del Mar of a given size are much more visible and likely to affect neighboring areas than would be the case in a city of a larger total area,” Arnold said. “Initiatives similar in character to Measure R are popping up all across the country.” Opponents, however, argued that the measure conflicts with the city’s general plan and state housing regulations. “R is a reach too far,” Emerson said. “It creates a lot of unintended consequences. It conflicts with an existing law, existing ordinances … It is likely to end up in court.”

FROM VOLLEYBALL, A17 apparel company Infinity as the tournament’s lead sponsor. Infinity will continue its sponsorship, Haas said. Hudl software enables users to create highlight reel video that can help streamline recruiting for coaches and help athletes showcase their skills. Haas believes the Hudl partnership will enhance the reputation of the tournament, which he said should help bring in more elite talent. “The exposure for the tournament is obviously beneficial to help bring in more good teams in the future, and the benefit to (Hudl) is that they get their name in front of many different coaches, especially high-level coaches who would be interested in this sort of software,” Haas said. Proceeds from the tournament will help fund uniforms among other expenditures, such as CCA’s team-bonding summer trip to Europe. The Ravens over the summer played in a three-day tournament in Slovenia on a trip that included sightseeing in Italy. “It brings good teams to the area that we get to compete against that we wouldn’t be able to compete against, and it helps us raise money for our program that enables us to do things for our players that maybe other programs wouldn’t be able to do,” Haas said.

FROM RESPONSE, A5 The program was initially created by the Los Angeles Fire Department in 1986 and has now been established in over 1,100 communities nationwide. There will be another training academy in this area in the spring. Additionally, Encinitas CERT will present a one-hour disaster preparedness program “Are You Ready” at the Encinitas Community Center, 1140 Oak Crest Drive. The free program is tailored to address disasters that are likely to affect Encinitas and help local citizens be more prepared.

In fact, in a legal analysis of the initiative, Assistant City Attorney Barry Schultz found multiple conflicts with state law. According to the report, the initiative potentially conflicts with the council’s administrative authority and single subject rule. The report stated that the initiative also appears to be inconsistent with planning and zoning documents, including the community plan, housing element, zoning code, Measure B — a similar voter-approved law in place that governs large developments in the downtown area — and the local coastal program. Finally, there could be fiscal impacts associated with implementation of the initiative if passed, according to the report. Watermark includes seven affordable units that will help Del Mar meet the state-approved requirements of its housing element. When the report was presented to the council in July, Schultz said the city was currently 22 units short of meeting its requirements. “When it (housing element) was certified, the major strategy that the state looked at was looking at the rezone to the Watermark site,” Schultz said. During the forum Dernetz agreed that the measure could limit the city’s ability to rezone land in order to meet its housing needs, especially low-income housing. “Proponents’ intentions may be sincere, but the approach they’ve taken in Measure R is ill-conceived and misguided,” said Dernetz, who has lived in Del Mar since 1973 and served as city manager from 1973 to 1979. “If approved by voters, Measure R will

result in uncertainty and confusion over development requirements in all of the city’s commercial zones and have a chilling effect on future commercial development and revitalization,” he said. One of the questions from the audience asked both sides to clarify the relationship between Measure B and Measure R, and whether the proposed measure would conflict with Measure B. Enacted by voters in 1986, Measure B requires voter approval of properties in Del Mar’s downtown commercial district larger than 25,000 square feet in area or proposing more than 11,500 square feet of development area. “My understanding, from attorneys who have looked at it, is that it is conflictual,” Emerson said. “The exact legal conflict I don’t know.” Dernetz said the two measures would conflict because the new measure is written differently. “This proposition makes many changes to the city’s community plan, to the zoning ordinances, and as I’ve outlined, conflicts with mandatory state procedures,” he said. Supporters, however, contended that the two measures do not conflict because Measure R simply extends Measure B. “Measure B and Measure R are basically a similar animal. They’re basically the same thing,” Arnold said. “If Measure B is lawful, and we know that it is, then it would follow that Measure R is lawful as well,” he added. “If Measure B is unlawful, and that is not the case, then and only then would it seem to be that Measure R is unlawful.”

FROM FORUM, A1 community.” Most of the candidates agreed that supporting the local business community, ensuring safe streets and maintaining the city’s fiscal health are other key issues. Speaking about specific projects, Zito said he would like to secure funding for the Army Corps of Engineers sand replacement project. Additionally, he would like to see the construction of a “resident-serving, compatible” train station project and approval of the city’s local coastal plan. “Today, every single project in Solana Beach — every single one, no matter how small it is — must go to the Coastal Commission,” he said. “You end up, usually, paying permit fees and having to take additional time to get approvals because of that step. If we have an approved local coastal plan, all of that goes away.” Walsh, a parent and community volunteer, said one of her top priorities would be to create a “strong working relationship” between council members and the citizens of Solana Beach.

“I think that we can always do better in communicating between the city and the citizens,” said Walsh, who previously ran her own business. Siegel, a psychiatrist and concert pianist who heads the weekly Solana Beach Sing-Along at Fletcher Cove Community Center, said his top priority is to build a stronger sense of community in Solana Beach. It’s the reason he started the weekly sing-along and helped write the city’s official song, he said. Candidates were divided, however, on a proposal that could be decided under the new council. The city is currently moving toward forming the county’s first local power program and has been searching for a service provider to make that possible. The city recently 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. Solana Beach has discussed the issue for several years, with the concept initially brought to the council by residents about five years ago. Earlier this year a company conducted a technical study at no cost that indicated a CCA is a viable option for the city. The community seems to be divided on the issue, however, with some calling for a public vote. Council candidates had differing views on whether voters should decide if the city should proceed with a plan to form a local power program. Hegenauer, who currently serves on the city’s Climate Action Commission, said the item does not need to go to a vote, just to the council. “It’s a good deal for the community,” she said. “I hope that we can work it out.” Edson also questioned the need for a vote. “There’s no requirement to participate, so why would SEE FORUM, A21

FROM LYNCH, A5 2. How would you propose to address those issues? We need a policy that prioritizes funding and school essentials so that these are paid for when surpluses are realized instead of shifting these costs to our families. •School funding requests should be presented before the board to ensure that funding is allocated when possible and more transparent. •Class size maximums must be reinstated in the contract (considered a best practice by the California Teachers Association) for better teacher/student engagement opportunities. •We need to fund career pathways in our schools and use “linked learning” to offer industry-themed/work-based learning, and intensive support to increase postsecondary options for students of all levels.

FROM NASCENZI, A5 to other school districts. 2. How would you propose to address those issues? I would work to replace the board’s partisan politics with a culture of consensus building; each issue should be decided based on its benefit to students, not its politics. As an executive, I’ve always valued open-minded curiosity, rational analysis, and diverse collaboration as better decision-making tools than pre-conceived ideologies. These are the same tools our top-flight schools teach our children. I’d also like to see more engagement with the community. If we can pull parents and citizens closer to the decision-making process, we’ll have a more responsive, accountable board that puts students first.

c. Amending the teachers union agreement to eliminate some of its most egregious provisions such as the most favorite nations provisio95n and the negotiation of a new agreement when the current one expires which links student achievement with teachers’ salaries, provides for greater ability of the district to deal with underperforming teachers and rewards those teachers who are truly performing at higher levels with incentive compensation. 3.

3. Do you agree with the way the San Dieguito Union High School District operates? If not, what changes do you think need to be made. The two incumbents, one with 20 years (5 terms) and the other with 12 years (3 terms), have lost their objectivity and underestimate student needs. •A master contract must have class size maximums and no open-ended salary guarantees. • The district must pay for funding of materials and supplies and all courses in our schools when multi-million dollar surpluses exist. •The historic underperformance of certain student sub-groups must be more effectively addressed and not overshadowed by the successes of our outstanding students. •As a parent of a child in the district, I am affected, accessible and accountable. 3. Do you agree with the way the San Dieguito Union High School District operates? If not, what changes do you think need to be made. As a father of four boys who’ve been through the district, I couldn’t be prouder of the work our teachers, administrators and staff do for our students. As a member of the Independent Citizens Oversight Committee, I’ve been particularly impressed with the efficiency and transparency in the way in which district staff has managed Prop AA funds and projects. I would, however, like to see more communication and transparency from the board — most folks are in the dark about board activities. At the least, the board might create a quarterly electronic newsletter outlining district issues, recent board decisions, upcoming action items, and the like. of divisiveness has been counterproductive. Examples include misstatements regarding class size average maximums, which have remained the same in our high schools and decreased in our middle schools. Incorrect claims were also made stating that the district was facing bankruptcy when we have healthy reserves both for in current and multi-year projections. All board members need recognize that students are our priority and get things done. educators and community alike. Unfortunately the recent, relentless, spreading of misinformation, half-truths and the misinterpretation of actual facts seem aimed at devaluing the district and derailing its goals. While there is always room for improvement in any endeavor, if we were actually as imperfect as we are reported to be – well, we would not be the outstanding school district that we all know SDUHSD to be. No, I don’t. The board needs to become fiscally responsible, independent and balance the needs of students, parents, teachers administrators and taxpayers. The board needs to utilize a definitive process to review contracts, provide the public with opportunities to review agreements, solicit the view of district lawyers and financial personnel and consider the needs of all district constituents. The board also needs to develop and adhere to a code of ethics and fair play for all of its board members which guarantees that all of its members will have an equal opportunity to have its views heard without interruption or undue influence form third parties.

Zito said the program is “worth looking into.” “We definitely need to do our due diligence in exploring all the various ramifications and very complex issues around this particular item,” he said. Because the issue is so complicated, he said he would be “nervous about putting it to a public vote.” The complexity of the issue, however, is the very reason Walsh said it should go to a vote. “I do think that this should go to a vote of the people because of the complex issue,” said Walsh, though agreeing that everyone wants “clean, sustainable energy.” “I don’t think that there’s been enough information given to us from both sides,” she said. “I think that we do need to do community outreach and get the public’s opinion. Is there a rush to do this?”

NORTH COAST - OCTOBER 13, 2016 - PAGE A21

Hohn agreed that the public needs more information about the issue. “Clearly, there is no consensus in town on this today,” he said. Candidates were also divided over whether the city should reinstate the Public Safety Commission, which the council decommissioned in 2015. At the time, council members said that while they were appreciative of the commissioners, the city’s resources were stretched. Staff also said that the role and activities of the commission were being met or could be met by other committees and planned public safety outreach efforts. “I really do value the community input and the community members but in my first three years, I didn’t notice feedback coming to the City Council from the commission,” said Zito, who is seeking his second council term. “If we were going to reinstate it, I’d

want clear metrics as to what that commission was going to do and how they were going to be measured.” Hohn, Walsh and Siegel all said they would like to see the city re-establish the commission, while restricting it to ensure it is effective and efficient. “If the commission wasn’t effective, I’d like to know why and fix why it wasn’t effective,” said Hoth, who has chaired the city’s Parks and Recreation Commission for two years. Edson and Hegenauer said the commission was disbanded because it was redundant. “I think that the council made the right vote,” Hegenauer said. “I don’t really have an opinion about bringing it back,” said Edson, who has served on the city’s View Assessment Commission for 11 years. “I don’t know that its necessary to use staff time and money to do that.”

FROM KABOO, A1 traffic and crowd control. Last year festival organizers utilized shuttles and offsite parking, which Fennell said organizers did not do this year. KAABOO received four complaints about traffic and two complaints about ride-sharing services this year, according to a report submitted to the Del Mar City Council. “I suspect that we’re going to strongly encourage them to take a hard look at offsite shuttling and better handling of Uber and Lyft,” Fennell said. As for crowd control, Fennell said festival organizers need to better craft next year’s schedule. When two outdoor concerts ended at the same time on Sept. 17, crowds from both tried to enter another venue. The situation left the venue filled to capacity and the entrance gridlocked. Sheriff’s

officials had to step in. “You don’t necessarily want two big stages ending at the same time,” Fennell said. Fairgrounds officials were pleased with the steps organizers took this year to reduce noise levels. Last year 91 people made 123 calls to a KAABOO hotline to complain about noise. This year 46 people made 56 calls. “There’s a learning curve,” Fennell said. “There are growing pains that took place.” KAABOO representatives will come before the fair board with a full report next month. Fennell said the fairgrounds will work with KAABOO organizers to make sure that next year’s festival runs smoother. KAABOO is set to return Sept. 15-17, 2017, to the Del Mar Fairgrounds. “The goal is to obviously have everybody here safe and secure, and have great customer service,” he said.

FROM KAABOO, A6

The new Earl Warren campus under construction. FROM SDUHSD, A2 Paige jokingly referred to as “Soviet-era bunkers,” offering new science and math classrooms by the fall of 2017. Once that construction is complete, work will begin on a second, 33-classroom building on the southeast side of the campus, this one creating new spaces for English, social science and art studios. At Canyon Crest Academy in the district’s south end, the tour saw how work is moving along quickly on “Building B,” the new 14-classroom building at the front of the campus. The $18 million project, a combination of Prop AA and Mello Roos funding, began at the beginning of the summer and was a reflection of the extra space needed due to the growth of Pacific Highlands Ranch neighborhoods. At Torrey Pines High School, Principal Rob Coppo led visitors into the school’s 13 brand new science classrooms, reconfigured in what had been an “old, dark hallway” that is now filled with natural light. The new classrooms offer a bright, open design with mobile tables

and comfortable chairs in a “more collegiate environment.” “It’s an amazing retrofit,” said Coppo, a 1986 graduate of Torrey Pines. “I remember taking French across the hallway.” The new learning commons/media center is currently under construction at Torrey Pines and is set to open in January. A new entry for the front of the school off Del Mar Heights Road is also currently in the works. The next phase, starting in the summer of 2017, will be to create the new visual and culinary arts building at Torrey Pines, as well as the long-awaited new proscenium theater and new black box theater. Demolition is expected to begin shortly after graduation with an anticipated opening of fall 2019. As the tour ended, Dill said there are plenty of exciting Prop AA projects still to come, particularly in the north end of the district where Oak Crest and Diegueno Middle School will be the recipients of new science classrooms. “It just shows what we can do when the community comes together and supports our schools,” Dill said.

Solana Beach and San Diego never exceeded the decibel limit. “Although some residents were still bothered by the noise, the data shows and the call log indicates that we substantially reduced noise in the community over last year,” Coleman wrote in the report. According to data from Del Mar’s consultant, however, the noise averaged 74 decibels this year compared to 95 decibels last year. This is 10 decibels higher than the noise ordinance at the Del Mar Fairgrounds allows. “They certainly did a much better job, but they didn’t meet their own criteria, their own sound ordinance, and it’s somewhat troubling that they report that they did meet it because all our meters show they got close and we should be working off the same database,” said Councilman Don Mosier. “But that’s not their biggest problem,” he added. In addition to the council and community’s concerns about noise, the council also expressed concerns about traffic and crowd control at this year’s event. “I thought they did significantly less of a job this year than they did last year,” Corti said about traffic and crowd control. In addition to gridlock on the streets, a Sept. 17 incident created gridlock at the entrance of an at-capacity venue. When two outdoor concerts ended at the same time, crowds from both tried to

enter another venue where rapper Ludacris and DJ Steve Aoki were set to perform. The situation left the venue filled to capacity and the entrance gridlocked. Sheriff’s Lt. Mark Moreno said several individuals got into an altercation with deputies manning the entrance, and one deputy used pepper spray to help disperse the crowd. Flying over the location, a sheriff’s helicopter ordered attendees to clear the area. “I thought the crowd control was problematic,” Corti said. “I don’t know how they’re going to address it, but traffic management was much more difficult for us and the impact on our community.” His colleagues agreed. “They better get their act together because that kind of situation can spill out into all sorts of other areas,” Deputy Mayor Terry Sinnott said. “It can be a safety issue for the community.” City officials said they planned to meet with representatives from the fairgrounds and KAABOO in the near future to discuss the report. The Board of Directors for the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the state-owned fairgrounds, approved a new contract in April that allows organizers to hold the festival for five years, with up to five one-year extensions. Festival organizers have already announced dates for the third annual three-day event. KAABOO is set to return Sept. 15-17, 2017, to the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

Spooktacular Dressage Show to support Breast Cancer Angels BY KAREN BILLING rackerjack Productions will again present the “hauntingly fun” Spooktacular Halloween Dressage Show on Oct. 29-30 at the Del Mar Horsepark. The event features the fun-filled Spooktacular Relay sponsored by Horse and Rider Boutique, a costume musical freestyle exhibition, the National Dressage Pony Cup Show Championship and the popular How’lin Dog Costume Contest. “It was one of the largest shows that we had last year, and we’re planning for it to be just as big this year,” said Lisa Blaufuss, owner of Crackerjack Productions. The public is invited to enter the third annual How’lin Dog Costume Contest, which will be held on Sunday, Oct. 30. Check-in begins at 11 a.m. for the 12:30 p.m. parade. The contest will have divisions for small and large dogs with categories such as best-matched pair, scariest, funniest and most creative, plus one overall best of contest winner. All proceeds from the contest’s $10 entry fee will support the FACE Foundation, a nonprofit that provides financial assistance for pet owners who are unable to afford the cost of their pets’ emergency veterinary care. “They have helped a lot of families and pets in San Diego,” Blaufuss said. In addition to the costume contest, there will also be a track and nose work demonstration by David Greene, an international working dog trainer and behavior modification expert. Popular animal communication expert Marsha Ruether will also be on hand to do readings. “People can find out what their dog is thinking about,” Blaufuss said. While there is lots of fun and festivities and horses and riders decked out in costume on Saturday, Spooktacular is still a national, triple-rated dressage show with high-quality riders, horses and trainers. Several Rio Olympians are expected to compete. Every year, Spooktacular has donated a portion of its proceeds back to a breast cancer nonprofit.

The beneficiary of this year’s Spooktacular is Breast Cancer Angels. “Breast Cancer Angels raises money for women going through breast cancer treatment and helps with things like groceries, gas cards and co-pays. If women are dealing with end-of-life issues, they donate attorneys to help out with a will. It’s just helping with things that a lot of people don’t even think about,” Blaufuss said. For Blaufuss, the cause is close to her heart. She rode and competed for years until she was sidelined by a back injury and next by breast cancer, which was diagnosed in 2010. Rather than ride, she turned her focus to equestrian event management and founded Crackerjack Productions in 2011. She has since built up successful and popular shows for the

Blaufuss said she is grateful and blessed that throughout her cancer fight she has had the support of the entire dressage community and the Friends of Lisa, a group that helps fundraise for her costly treatments. “They were my angels,” Blaufuss said. “For me, this is about paying it forward for others.” In one of her breast cancer support groups, Blaufuss recalled one women saying, “I’m just done,” completely defeated because she couldn’t afford to get gas to get to her treatment. “These are the things that go on with women faced with treatments and dealing with this horrible disease. Nothing can be scarier than not being able to afford your treatments. It’s so stressful, and breast cancer is the kind of disease that stress really feeds it,” Blaufuss said. “The reason I chose Breast Cancer Angels is they give back 100 percent to the community and it’s really a beautiful thing. It just touches my heart.” For more information on Spooktacular, visit crackerjackproductionsllc.com

Young novelist Lily Nilipour publishes second book

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KAREN BILLING Torrey Pines High School senior Lily Nilipour has released her second novel, “An Echo over the Trees,” a thoughtful collection of stories. “Movement is distracting, it twirls and spirals and comes and goes. It jumps around and never stays in the same place, It blossoms with joy and slices with a knife,” writes Lily in the synopsis of the book. “These are the stories of people and their movement. They are ordinary but they traverse timelines and dimension with ease and just like movement, as soon as you lose track of them, you will miss something.” Like her first book, “Don’t Mistake the Ashes for Dust,” that Lily published in 2014, this book was spurred on by National Novel Writing Month. In the month of November, authors are encouraged to pen 50,000 words. The “NaNoWriMo” program helps students with support from fellow writers and develops a way to track their progress, create a schedule for work and earn personal achievement badges. While Lily wrote her first 50,000-word novel in one month, this second effort was completed over the course of two busy years, building on the work she started in November 2014. She took breaks between Novembers and spent a lot of time

The result was some 90,000 words and the new 250-page novel. “This book is a little different than the first book.

Much Gray.” In it a bus driver meets a kid and they go on an adventure. She is also proud of “Walk on Water, II , Toes,” a backstory to an earlier story in the book, telling the tale about a girl and her treehouse. “I really enjoyed writing them all,” Lily said. “There might not be more writing to come because I’m working on college applications. It took awhile to write and re-write and edit this book. It was a big working project I had in mind…after that I don’t have any creative inspiration that’s new!” While she may be taking a break from novels, Lily is still writing — she is the sports editor and co-news editor of the student newspaper, “The Falconer,” and has a job writing for Prep2Prep, a website that allows high school students to explore a career in sports journalism, reporting on local athletes and being mentored by professional journalists. She also competes on the varsity tennis team. Lily hopes to study English or history in college and while she does not know yet where her journey will take her next, she knows creative writing will always be a part of her story. “An Echo over the Trees” is available on amazon.com. November and 2016’s National Novel Writing Month is just a few weeks away. Aspiring novelists can find out more at nanowrimo.org.

See ‘Laughter On The 23rd Floor’: It’s better than a hit in the head! BY DIANA SAENGER Fans of Neil Simon’s plays have a treat in store as North Coast Repertory Theatre is staging his “Laughter On The 23rd Floor,” which opened on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre on Nov. 22, 1993, and closed on Aug. 27, 1994 after 320 performances. Tom Markus (who has directed more than 125 plays including classics, premieres, comedies and dramas Off-Broadway and for regional theatres and Shakespeare festivals) said he was happy to accept the offer to direct this one because “all the humor is crazy and it’s by Simon and his brother, Danny, about the TV show ‘Your Shows of Shows’ that focuses on comedians such as Sid Caesar, Mel Brooks, Cal Reiner and others. I love Simon’s work and I was lucky to appear in eight of his plays as an actor or director.” Although Markus was not a part of the casting, he said he’s very excited that Brent Alters, Caroline Drage, David Ellenstein, Phil Johnson, Louis Lotorto, Nicholas Mongiardo-Cooper, Omri Schein, Amanda Sitton and Christopher M. Williams are strong performers and

make a great contribution to happy times. “This broad comedy is, in a sense, a memory play because it’s Simon’s memory, or something similar to his memory, of his experiences as a writer on Sid Caesar’s variety-comedy series (in the 1950s),” Markus said. “So interpreting the play is really a matter of finding the balance between a believable world and an extension or inflation of that world

for comic purposes. We tried very hard to make the characters plausible, but they do such outrageous things and say such outrageous things that it brings the comedy out of real human experience.” American playwright Marvin Neil Simon (born July 4, 1927) began his writing career after serving in the Army Air Force Reserve and graduating high school. He’s written more than 30 scripts and nearly the

same number of movie screenplays, mostly adaptations of his plays. He has received several Oscar and Tony nominations and a Pulitzer Prize. “Simon continues to remain one of the most popular writers in America because his humor is tied to how we behave,” Markus opined. “We laugh with and at ourselves at the same we watch him take real situations and push them larger than reality until they become funny. He has an inordinate talent

for that.” Markus said he wants the audience to leave the theater sharing the experience of a well done play. “It’s better to laugh than get hit in the head,” he said laughing. ■ IF YOU GO: “Laughter On The 23rd Floor” takes the stage Oct. 19-Nov. 13 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

City Ballet of San Diego’s 24th Anniversary Season Gala set for Oct. 22 BY KRISTINA HOUCK City Ballet of San Diego’s 24th Anniversary Season Gala is set for Saturday, Oct. 22 at Hotel del Coronado. With proceeds benefitting City Ballet’s education and outreach programs, organizers hope the annual event will raise awareness and funds to connect more of San Diego’s children with the arts. “I admire their outreach to schools and to others who can’t afford a sport like this,” said Del Mar’s Dr. Bettie Youngs, who serves on City Ballet’s Board of Directors. “Most ballet companies don’t have that outreach.” Led by Steven and Elizabeth Wistrich, City Ballet of San Diego will soon kick off its 24th season of ballet in San Diego with “Esmeralda and the Hunchback” Nov. 4-6 at Spreckels Theatre. In addition to full seasons of ballet concerts, City Ballet offers a school for children and adults, as well as education and outreach programs that reach more than 10,000 schoolchildren annually offering in-theater performances and all-school assemblies. City Ballet’s variety of programs include “Ballet Goes to School,” a program that brings ballet performances to local schools, as well as “Discover a Dancer,” a 30-week residency program for at-risk youth. The program culminates with a school assembly for peers and family members.

“We support a good number of kids that could never ever be able to afford ballet lessons,” Youngs said. “The goal is athleticism, activity, strength and leadership.” A Pulitzer Prize-nominated author, Youngs has served on City Ballet’s board for nearly a year. She was introduced to the organization through her work with the Fuller Center for Housing in San Diego, where she serves as executive director. She formerly taught at San Diego State University and has published 34 books translated into 26 languages. Dedicated to supporting City Ballet, Youngs has been very involved in organizing this year’s gala. She connected City Ballet with actress and singer Lesley Ann Warren, this year’s celebrity honorary chairwoman. Warren began her career as a ballet dancer, training at the School of American Ballet. Youngs also reached out to Mali Digius, owner of Del Mar-based Diamond Boutique, who designed and created an original silver and diamond ballet pendant. Priced at $7,500, the pendant will be auctioned off at the event. She also worked with designer and former actress Natashia Williams-Blach, owner of SEA&POSH. Williams-Blach created a “caged” onyx druzy neck garland that will also be auctioned off at the event. “I enjoy working with an organization that strives for excellence,” said Youngs, who has

The event will also include a performance by the City Ballet Company dancers, an opportunity drawing, and live and silent auctions. “Help support our outreach programs that we bring to you,” Youngs said. “And also help us support our performers.” For more information about City Ballet of San Diego or to purchase tickets to the gala, call 858-272-8663 or visit www.cityballet.org.

New Mint Studio a DIY dream BY KAREN BILLING fun new spot has opened in Carmel Valley offering the opportunity to gather, create and connect. Mint Studio, a do-it-yourself studio, officially opened in the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch on Oct. 7, just in time for painted pumpkins and learning to knit chunky, warm scarfs. The unique art studio and event space created by owner Jayme Sanders will host craft workshops, classes, open studio time, date nights and social gatherings for both kids and adults. DIY-ers will be able to get creative at macramé and beer nights, mother-daughter cookie decorating classes or calligraphy classes, and learn skills such as wood burning, glass etching and watercolor brush lettering. Sanders’ studio is a Pinterest board come to life, with all the newest trends and designs packed into one fresh space full of beautiful things. “All too often attempts at a gorgeous DIY project do not end up looking like the Pinterest picture,” said Sanders of her inspiration for the studio. “The projects can often be very expensive and involve several trips to the craft store, which, for Carmel Valley residents, involves a 20-minute one-way trip to the nearest Michaels. Many of us create beautiful Pinterest boards of projects we would love to someday do

but the time, effort and lack of tools or knowledge prohibit the novice crafter from completing heartfelt projects and the joy that comes from the creative experience.” As Sanders said, Mint creates the time to stop pinning, and start doing. Kids’ programs will start for children as young as 3 with pre-school, home school and after-school classes. Sanders hopes Mint will become a creative space for art and science, to inspire young minds, support sensory art, art therapy, mindful art and yoga. Adult workshops will be offered monthly by local artisans and celebrity makers. One of the studio’s opening events was held on Oct. 6 with celebrity crafter Amy Tangerine, sharing the art of modern scrapbooking. Sanders, a Carmel Valley resident for 12 years and mother of three, grew up in a family of makers in Minnesota. “I spent every summer crafting with my grandma,” Sanders said. “I always loved it because it was such a release, it was therapeutic, a time to zone out and make something great and never stop learning new and interesting things.” As a mom to three kids, things got busy, but she never lost her desire to create. “I thought Carmel Valley needed someplace to go with girlfriends, not just a bar, and someplace

As Sanders said, it eliminates the mess and the need to buy expensive tools. Sanders’ current obsession is the Minc, a gold foil applicator, while her daughter loves the INSTAX Camera, an instant camera that is like a mini, modern Polaroid. “I love everything personalized,” Sanders said. “Nothing mass-produced.” Classes and workshops have already been scheduled through January and she is finding that people are willing to travel from out of state to attend classes given by some of the top

celebrity crafters who tour the country and world. Tangerine, for example, stopped in San Diego fresh from New York and Palm Springs, on her way to Tokyo. Those who attended the class got a packet of scrapbooking goodies and a lesson in Tangerine’s unique mini travel scrapbooks. In the coming weeks, Mint will waste no time getting crafty: a pumpkin succulent design class will be offered Sunday, Oct. 16 from 1-3 p.m. and a Halloween cookie decorating class is coming on Saturday, Oct. 22 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Lark and Arrow will be in studio on Oct. 22 for a class on macramé plant hangers from 3-5 p.m. Prices and registration information is available on the website, themint.studio.

WiFi Hotspots 101: A recent Cox Business survey found that 59% of respondents said WiFi is the best perk that small businesses can offer their patrons – not a surprising statistic considering that people use the Internet to stay connected with their world, whether at home or on the road.

the Internet on the go. However, some activities could put your security at risk since not all hotspots offer a secure connection.

As more and more people use WiFi hotspots to stay connected, it’s important to know the basics of how to safely connect to a hotspot.

What can I do to protect my information? • Avoid tasks such as paying bills, accessing your bank information, and using your credit card online when using a public hotspot.

What is a WiFi hotspot? A WiFi hotspot is an Internet access point that allows you to connect to the Internet wirelessly through your mobile device. How does a WiFi hotspot work? A wireless access point communicates with computers or mobile devices using radio signals. The access point is connected to the Internet and usually connected to a router or server. Most current mobile devices will recognize wireless networks that you can connect to. Should I be concerned about my online security when connected to a WiFi hotspot? There are many advantages to connecting to WiFi hotspots, including saving money on your mobile data plan, and accessing

The name, signal strength and security type will display. WPA2, WPA and WEP are three types of secured connections. Others will say ‘unsecured.’ Once connected, be sure to select ‘Public network’ when prompted to select a network location. This will block some common routes for potential hackers. But, remember that even password-protected WiFi hotspots are not as secure as your home network.

• Opt not to save passwords, especially when it comes to your financial accounts such as credit cards and bank accounts. Cox tech installs Cox WiFi hotspots throughout San Diego County.

• Update your device when prompted. Often, these contain security updates to keep your device protected.

How do I know if a WiFi hotspot has a secure connection? Examples of secure connections include hotspotsthatrequireapasswordbeforeyou can connect.Other security settings may be seen by hovering your mouse over each WiFi connection in your WiFi settings.

• Verify that you are connecting to a legitimate connection. For example, Cox enabled WiFi hotspots are named ‘Cox WiFi’ or ‘CableWiFi.’ In other instances, ask an employee the name of the business or store hotspot before connecting.

How do I connect to a WiFi hotspot? Depending on your mobile device settings, your phone may prompt you when wireless networks are available. WiFi connections can be found in the network settings on your mobile device. Often times, coffee shops, restaurants, parks and other public places will provide WiFi hotspots for customers, and may require a password and accepting a terms of use agreement before you connect. To help its Internet customers stay connected with their world wherever they are, Cox Communications has been building WiFi hotspots in the communities it serves. In San Diego, Cox Internet customers have free access to more than 1,000 hotspots countywide, including in Balboa Park and downtown San Diego. Cox Internet customers also have free access to more than half a million hotspots nationwide through CableWiFi. Just find ‘Cox WiFi’ or ‘CableWiFi’ in your WiFi settings. Non Cox customers can access the hotspots through a free one-hour trial. To find a Cox WiFi hotspot, visit www.cox.com/hotspots.

Spring Maintenance Tips to Get Your Vehicle Up to 100% ahead of El Niño Every year it’s a good idea to incorporate maintenance on your vehicle as part of your general spring cleaning procedure. Potholes, frost heaves, and cold temperatures can all put your brakes, suspension, tires, and

battery to the test. You should always make a point to analyze your vehicle at least once a year to make sure that it’s running in top condition. Doing so can help you avoid a serious issue or being involved in a San Diego car accident. Use the following tips to stay on top of your vehicle’s maintenance this spring. No one wants to be caught in the heavy El Niño rains with an improperly maintained vehicle! Tire Pressure Make sure all your tires have been properly inflated and balanced. This little step goes a long way not just towards minimizing the chances of a flat tire, but it can also improve your gas mileage, too. Brakes Anytime the weather dips, it’s a good idea to look at your brake fluid, parking brake,

hoses, and lines. Brake pad changes and a total inspection of the brake system can go a long way towards helping you avoid accidents and serious issues this spring. In heavy rains, you rely on breaks in great shape to help you come to a stop quickly, even on slick surfaces, so don’t skip over this step. Plugs, Wires and Batteries These components of your vehicle have to work extra hard when it’s cold outside. Make sure you replace old or weak wires, plugs and batteries. Anything over three years old should be replaced completely. Wheel Alignment and Suspension Determine any leaks or wear on your shocks and struts before heading out on the road this spring and summer. Fluid Levels

Don’t ignore your engine oil, brake fluid, transmission fluid, anti-freeze or windshield washer fluid. The brake fluid flush can also be beneficial. Engine Filter When you’re getting your oil change, ask that the engineer filter be looked at carefully to determine whether it needs to be replaced. Hoses and Belts If your hoses are cracked, worn, soft, blistered or brittle, you should replace them. Anything over five years should be replaced even if it looks like it’s in relatively good condition. And finally, make sure you turn on those headlights in heavy rain!
