SDUHSD forum touches on high school choice, Common Core BY KAREN BILLING In his sophomore year as San Dieguito Union High School District’s leader, Superintendent Rick Schmitt’s syllabus includes engaging the community, continuing to learn, and focusing first on his students’ individual needs. One way to achieve those goals was to hold his first-ever superintendent’s

forum on Thursday, Oct. 9, at Canyon Crest Academy. He took center stage and covered what he believes to be key district topics, such as Common Core implementation, family balance and the high school selection process. “I really do care what you all have to say,” Schmitt told his district “moms and dads,” noting that every

time he meets with community members he learns something new. The high school selection process is perhaps the hottest topic right now within the district. A High School Enrollment Study Group has been formed to look at options regarding SDUHSD’s open-enrollment campuses of San Dieguito High School Academy and

SB school board unveils changes in student progress reports BY KRISTINA HOUCK Parents will no longer see “A’s,” “B’s” and “C’s” on Solana Beach School District report cards. In light of the new Common Core State Standards, the district recently unveiled new standards-based progress reports that use numerals. The old reports used a series of symbols to indicate student progress, with a letter grade for overall achievement for students in fourth through sixth grade. Now, a “4” means a student’s performance exceeds standards, “3” means a student’s performance meets standards, “2” means the student is approaching standards and “1” means the student is not making appropriate progress. “A very talented and dedicated committee of educators representing schools throughout our district and all grade levels worked to revise our progress reports,” said Terry Decker, assistant superintendent of instructional services, in an informational video he presented before the board during the Oct. 9 meeting. “Their goal was to create documents that would more accurately and more specifically indicate a student’s proficiency of end-of-year grade level standards.”

Intended to document and provide students, parents and future teachers with feedback about a student’s progress toward achieving grade-level academic standards, as well as social-emotional growth, the progress reports cover attendance, language arts, mathematics, social studies, science, technology, other curricula, and life and career skills. Standards-based progress reports assess student performance and measure student progress against grade-level standards. Because the California Common Core State Standards-aligned benchmarks listed on the reports are end-of-year standards, Decker noted that parents might see a number of “NAs” on their child’s first or second progress reports. Progress reports are issued three times during the school year, in October, March and June. An “NA” means the standard has not yet been taught or assessed. Acknowledging that the revised progress reports mark a major shift for parents, the district is holding three informational meetings: Oct. 15 at Skyline, Oct. 16 at Solana Pacific and Oct. 21 at Solana Ranch. All meetings begin at 6:30 p.m. See PROGRESS, page 29

Canyon Crest Academy. Because of a jump in enrollment this year, more students selected those two schools, and the district heard from many unhappy families of waitlisted freshmen over the spring and summer, upset that their children were being denied attendance at their neighborhood school. The district decided to

let in all waitlisted freshmen this year and turn their attention to long-range solutions with the study group, which will seek community input and bring potential solutions to the board. “To fundamentally change how we enroll high school students after 18 years, that’s a big deal,” See FORUM, page 22

DMSEF funding model to remain district-wide to avoid disparities between schools BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Schools Education Foundation (DMSEF) will not be changing its district-wide fundraising to a site-specific model. The DMSEF board was slated to vote on the model at its Oct. 8 meeting, but due to new information from the district the board did not take the matter to a vote. DMSEF President Ty Humes said he has had the opportunity to meet with Del Mar Union School District Superintendent Holly McClurg and the board trustees numerous times, but it was recently communicated that neither the district nor the board could support changing to a site-specific or hybrid, model. “The district and the trustees can’t support any model that allows for disparity between one school versus another,” Humes said. “We won’t be moving forward on the new funding model.” Humes said that, as a board, the DMSEF has done its “exhaustive” due diligence on the proposed changes to the model, including parent surveys and gathering feedback at all of the school sites. Ashley Falls representative Drew Isaacman said that the foundation recently learned that the Common Core curriculum has greatly affected students’ ability to be pulled out for Extended Studies Curriculum classes of science, technology, music, art and PE. “We’ve basically maxed out on ESC time,” Isaacman said. “The teachers need more time in the classroom because there’s

more to cover. But that doesn’t mean we’ve maxed out the ability to fund additional ESC teachers.” Isaccman said it was “disheartening” to hear that there will be no increase in ESC pull-out time, but the foundation will still support the district and work to provide the best quality education for kids. As a result of there not being increased ESC time, the DMSEF may look at changing its restrictions on how the district can use its contributions, to allow them to use ESC funds in a different way, such as for equipment or extra teachers in the classroom. “We will look at how best to enhance educational opportunities for the district across all eight schools,” Humes said. “The district is working with us, they appreciate us. We’re the best district in the state and we have the best foundation. We got the input, we’ll get it right and we’ll move forward.” The funding model discussion started about two years ago as parents wondered if the foundation was being limited by the district-wide model and that certain campuses were short on ESC time despite equal or greater foundation contributions. In a proposed hybrid fundraising structure, schools’ contributions would still be put into the district-wide pot, but once they have raised enough to cover their school’s share of ESC funding, donations above that level would go back to their home school. It was a way to get more money in the pool by incentivizing parent giving. In recent years, the foundation battled

Barrales resigns from 22nd DAA board BY JOE TASH Del Mar resident Ruben Barrales has resigned from the board of directors of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, the agency that operates the state-owned Del Mar Fairgrounds. The resignation, which leaves the ninemember board one member short, was announced Tuesday, Oct. 14, at the start of the board’s regular monthly meeting. “After seven years on the board, I must now focus more of my time and efforts on my other professional and community endeavors, and allow others to bring their talents to the board,” said Barrales in his resig-

nation letter, which was read aloud by board President Fred Schenk. Schenk thanked Barrales for his service, and said he hopes Gov. Jerry Brown will move quickly to appoint a replacement. Barrales is president and CEO of Grow Elect, a four-year-old San Diego-based political action committee that is dedicated to “recruiting, training, advising, and funding qualified Latino Republican candidates for state and local offices in California,” according to the group’s web site. Previously, he was president and CEO of the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce. Earlier this summer, Brown appointed See BARRALES, page 24

Fire season never ends — be prepared, chief warns BY KRISTINA HOUCK Five months after several wildfires scorched the region, firefighters reminded locals that fire season never ends in San Diego. To ensure that residents are prepared for the next wildfire, Jon Blumeyer, fire battalion chief for the cities of Del Mar, Encinitas and Solana Beach, shared preparedness tips during a presentation at the start of Solana Beach’s Public Safety Commission meeting on Oct. 14. “The hope is that you come out of this realizing that you’re not prepared yet, that you need to be prepared and that standing on a roof with a garden hose to try to put the fire out is not going to work,” Blumeyer said. Blumeyer was among the firefighters who battled the Poinsettia Fire, which destroyed 27 structures and burned 600 acres in Carlsbad last May. The Poinsettia Fire was one of several wind-whipped fires that burned about 27,000 acres across the county beginning May 13 with the Bernardo Fire. Amid hot, dry and gusty conditions, investigators believe the Poinsettia Fire broke out just after 10:30 a.m. May 14 on or near the golf course at the Omni La Costa Resort & Spa, which borders Poinsettia Lane. On that day, temperatures soared from 94 to 104 degrees with humidity at 5 percent, Blumeyer said. Normally, humidity in Carlsbad is at 60 to 80 percent, he noted.

Board members who look at everything from top to bottom and try and to get the most out of every resource the district has available to it. I think the board needs board members that not only listen to the great staff and teachers that run the school district, but See MCDOWELL, page 26

Since the foundation started 13 years ago it has operated under different models such as site specific, district wide and a hybrid of the two. In 2004-05 the foundation went site specific and until it changed to district-wide four years later, it averaged $600,000 worth of fundraising. At that time, the district did make a bigger contribution to ESC teacher salaries and other sources could be tapped for salary monies, such as the school lunch program revenues. The 2008-09 year was a hybrid year in which the DMSEF switched to district-

The foundation has been able to equal that $1.4 million amount from 2009 on, according to Isaacman. At the foundation’s meeting, Del Mar Hills representative Estela de Llanos said she was frustrated with the district’s position regarding site-specific fundraising. “It pre-supposes that whatever we would do would be disproportionate,” de Llanos said, noting that might not be the case. The board also expressed concerns that the foundation could be impacted negatively by the decision. Kevin Campbell, Del Mar Heights rep, said that DMSEF may face some chal-

I want to continue to take an active role in making sure our schools are excelling educationally, safe, fiscally sound and that every child can reach their fullest educational potential, in order to compete in the global economy. 2.)

Isaacman agreed, that they need to “crystal clear” where the funds are going to be used and why they need more money. “We still want to get to $2 million,” Brenda Bilstad, the Torrey Hills representative said. “We can do really cool things for all of our kids.” Also at the Oct. 8 meeting, the foundation added two new board members: Andy Zack from Sage Canyon and Ray Drasnin from Ashley Falls. Currently all schools have two representatives on the board except for Del Mar Hills. For more information on the foundation, visit dmsef.com.

FIRE continued from page 2

“Anytime the humidity gets below 20 percent, we call it critical,” Blumeyer said. “Five percent is practically unheard of.” Solana Beach has one engine and one fire truck. Six firefighters respond from the station on a given day. Firefighters from 73 departments across the state battled the Poinsettia Fire, Blumeyer noted. “We’re very heavily dependent on automatic aid from others,” Blumeyer said. To prevent the spread of wildfire, Blumeyer encouraged community members to create and maintain at least 100 feet of defensible space around all structures. Defensible space not only increases the home’s chance of surviving a wildfire, but the buffer between a home and the grass, trees and shrubs around it helps protect the firefighters defending the home. “You buy time for us by building defensible space around your home,” Blumeyer said.

John Salazar high standards, while at the same time keeping an eye on the financial bottom line. It is important that while we continue to improve the district’s performance, it is also important that there be someone on the board who will also be watchful that the district spends its resources wisely. I am that person. 2.) What do you think are the biggest issues facing the San Dieguito Union High School District? • 1. School Boundaries: We need to change the lottery system for high school To create defensible space, the first 50 feet around the home should be well irrigated and landscaped with fire-resistant plants such as succulents. Remove all dead plants, grass and weeds from around the home, as well as dead or dry leaves from the yard, roof and rain gutters. Trim trees regularly and keep them away from roofs and chimneys. In the second 50 feet from the home, vegetation should be thinned. Provide a vertical clearance along all roadways, driveways and easements. Also make sure home address markers are in clear view with numerals on a contrasting background. “If I can’t get guys in there, they’re going to be at another house that is defensible, and the house that isn’t may or may not survive,” Blumeyer said. “We do the best we can. We get out there and fight fires, but I’m not going to risk a person’s life for stuff.” In addition to creating defensible space, Blumeyer encouraged residents to create an emergency plan. Have two exit routes and an

selection to a system that gives priority to those who live in neighborhoods near the high schools. Those kids who can walk or bike to school should have first choice for that school. We can hold a lottery for the remaining openings. We would, of course, “grandfather” in any students currently attending those schools, and their siblings. •2. Flexible Start Times: We need to have a flexible schedule to accommodate those students that do better starting school later in the day. Being a father of three, I know that every child is different; some stay up late and need to sleep in. Why can’t those students start at 10 a.m. and finish at 5 p.m.? There are plenty of teachers who would like that as well. Those students who want to start school at 7 a.m. or 7:30 a.m. should also be accommodated. With proper planning, we truly can offer a flexible schedule. 3.) How would you propose to address those isSee SALAZAR, page 28

out-of-area contact. “Figure out what you’re gong to do ahead of time,” Blumeyer said. “If you’re trying to do it when the fire’s coming, you’re going to forget something and it’s not going to be a very good plan.” Also assemble an emergency kit. Kits should include at least a three-day supply of food and water for each person, a radio, batteries, flashlight, clothes, toiletries, medication, important documents, and other valuable items that can’t be replaced. Remember to include pets in the emergency plan and kits, which include food, water, medication and crates. “When you’re told to evacuate, go away,” Blumeyer said. “Be prepared to leave, get the things you need to go and then leave. Everything else can be replaced. Human life is valuable.” For more information and tips, visit www.ci.solana-beach.ca.us, www.fire.ca. gov and www.burninstitute.

Why are you running for a seat on the San Dieguito Union High School District board? I am running because I would like to see at least one member of the board be someone with children still in the district. I think a board can always benefit

from at least one new perspective, new ideas and energy. As we make the transition to Common Core, every time my children ask me for help with their homework (usually math) I see firsthand the difference in how they are being asked to learn. I know parents who had students in accelerated math programs, ones with students who struggle in math and we discuss the issues together as parents in the same boat. The other board members won’t have that perspective. Also, a large part of what the board does is make financial and contracting decisions and I have extensive work experience and education in this area. I would love to apply my knowledge as a member of the board. I want to continue the things which make our district excellent, but not become complacent and I envision the district evolving in order to stay on top. 2.)

Muir outspending other candidates in SDUHSD race BY JARED WHITLOCK Maureen “Mo” Muir has spent the most out of the seven candidates vying for three seats on the San Dieguito Union High School District board, according to recently filed campaign disclosure paperwork. This year, Muir reported $15,714 in expenditures thus far. Of that total, $4,232 went toward newspaper advertising, $4,047 to Turpin McLaughlin Communications, a company that specializes in campaign consulting and candidate literature, and $3,302 to yard signs. The remaining chunk was dedicated to the San Diego County Registrar of Voters, the San Diego County Republican Party voter guide and a legal/accounting firm. She recorded $21,200 in contributions, a figure that includes a $12,000 loan from Muir to her own campaign. Muir, currently an Encinitas Union School District (EUSD) trustee with two years until her term expires, received contributions from local political figures. Those include $750 from Gaspar Physical Therapy, a business that names Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar as the chief financial officer, and $100 from La Costa Kids, which is owned by Jennifer Hamler, an EUSD board candidate. Barbara Groth, an incumbent, reported $1,578 in expenditures. Groth’s contributions totaled $10,3454, with a loan to herself accounting for $1,500 of that figure. San Dieguito Trustee Joyce

Dalessandro, whose term ends in 2016, kicked in $100 for her campaign. Additionally, the San Dieguito Faculty Association Political Action Committee spent $3,885 on a mailer supporting Groth, incumbent Amy Herman and challenger Simeon Greenstein. Greenstein took in $3,450. A $900 loan to himself and a $1,800 loan from a family member made up $2,700 of Greenstein’s contribution total. He has spent $3,109. Herman, an incumbent, raised $1,149 and spent $376. She gave $600 to her own campaign, Herman’s largest contribution. Also, two San Dieguito trustees each contributed $100 to Herman’s campaign: Dalessandro and Beth Hergesheimer, who isn’t up for reelection for another two years. Challenger Steve McDowell has entirely funded his candidacy with a $4,000 loan to himself, as well as a $950 contribution from McDowell to his campaign. His expenditures: $1,000. Rimga Viskanta has also paid for all of her campaign with two loans totaling $1,630 to herself. She has spent $1,412. Incumbent John Salazar hasn’t raised more than $1,000, meaning he wasn’t required to fill out paperwork listing contributions and expenditures. The next round of campaign finance reports are due Oct. 23, the last before the Nov. 4 election.

Newcomer Peiser takes on Issa in 49th Congressional District race BY JOE TASH While Encinitas businessman Dave Peiser admits he faces a “David and Goliath” struggle to unseat incumbent Darrell Issa in the 49th Congressional District race on Nov. 4, there are some benefits to running for office — such as meeting music legends Stephen Stills and Graham Nash. Peiser is shown posing with the two rockers in a photo posted earlier this month on the Crosby, Stills and Nash Facebook page. Stills is holding a sign that reads, “Fire Issa,” while Nash holds one that says, “Hire Peiser.” The meeting took place backstage at the San Diego Civic Theatre before an Oct. 1 concert. Despite the support from the ’60s rock icons, Peiser, 52, an Encinitas resident and owner of an information technology consulting firm, faces long odds. Issa has raised just over $3 million in 2013 and

2014, according to the latest filings with the Federal Election Commission, while Peiser has raised about $70,000 in contributions in his first political race. Issa, 60, of Vista, was first elected to Congress in 2000. He chairs the powerful Committee on Government Oversight and Reform, and is reportedly one of the richest members of Congress, having earned his fortune from a company he founded that makes car alarms and other electronic automobile components. Issa, a Republican, also enjoys a registration advantage over his Democratic challenger. According to county election records, the 49th District, which straddles San Diego and Orange counties, has 40 percent GOP registration, 29 percent Democrat and 25 percent listing no party preference. The district includes Carlsbad, Encinitas, Oceanside, Del Mar, Camp Pendle-

ton, Solana Beach and Rancho Santa Fe in San Diego County, along with San Clemente, Dana Point, San Juan Capistrano and Ladera Ranch in Orange County. The two candidates were asked a series of questions by this newspaper. Peiser participated in a telephone interview, while Issa opted to respond in writing. Following are the candidates’ responses, edited for brevity. What can you, as a representative, do to relieve the traffic congestion that plagues coastal North San Diego County and southern Orange County? Peiser: With most of the biggest infrastructure projects like roads and transportation, there are federal funds, which requires advocacy. San Diego and Orange counties need to decide what works. I would definitely plan on spending time with county leaders to talk about the best way to solve this problem. I would just make sure the funding is available to make that happen. Issa: First, make sure California is getting our fair share of federal gas tax dollars for transportation and that those dollars are used to build needed freeway lanes and aren’t siphoned off to less effective and more costly transit solutions. I’ve fought for completion of the SR 76 improvements in North County and worked closely with Marine Corps officials and community leaders to find a path to completion of the Foothill South Transportation Corridor in South Orange County. I also support closing or curtailing the operation of the San Onofre Customs and Border Patrol freeway checkpoint, which is costly and ineffective, and creates significant traffic backups when it’s in use. What will you do personally to help Congress take action on such issues as immigration, gun violence and government debt? Issa: Our immigration system is broken and no longer serves the best interests of the United States.

Reform should not be about accommodating 11 million people who are living in our country illegally, but about enacting policies that serve the best interests of our nation and our people. On spending, I supported the Path to Prosperity budget, which created a long-term framework to bring government spending in line with our tax revenues. As Chairman of the House Oversight Committee, I have uncovered countless acts of waste, fraud and abuse in government. I have also authored legislation to protect the Postal Service, which is losing $15 billion per year, from bankruptcy while ensuring that essential mail services are preserved. Peiser: One of my passions is bringing people together. When it comes to immigration, we need comprehensive reform right now. There’s a huge gulf between me and Issa. (Recently) Issa wrote a letter to President Obama, requesting him to immediately deport kids and young adults, the Dreamers. On the other hand, I would push to immediately give that group legal status; they are Americans without papers, they have lived their lives in the U.S. It’s ridiculous to deport this group, and it splits up families. What ideas do you have for getting past partisan gridlock? Peiser: One of the big impediments in moving forward is there seems to be an overriding motivation on the Republican side to be against anything Obama is for. The only way to get past that is to have discussions with representatives in that camp about how moving forward with legislation would be good for them and their constituents. One thing on my agenda would be to try to get money out of politics. Issa: I’m always willing to work with my Democrat colleagues to find solutions to make our government work better and have had a number of successes on legislation to increase protections for whistleblowers

who expose wrongdoing, and on the DATA Act to make more information on how tax dollars are spent available to the public. To be successful, however, you have to have a willing partner. Ronald Reagan and Speaker Tip O’Neill worked together successfully to achieve historic tax reform. Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton found common ground on welfare reform and many other issues. That hasn’t happened with this President. He typically just hands us his plan and tells us to take it or leave it. Should the United States get into another ground war in Iraq or Syria to fight ISIS? If not, what should we do? Issa: I don’t think anyone wants us in a ground war in Iraq and Syria. I recently returned from a trip to the region and was able to meet personally with President Netanyahu in Israel, King Abdullah in Jordan and President el-Sisi in Egypt, and they universally expressed a desire for U.S. leadership to confront ISIS, but the discussion was about political leadership and military technical support, both of which we are now providing. I think it is incumbent upon President Obama to present to the Congress and the American people a strategy for how he intends to confront this threat. That plan would have to include not only military options, but a diplomatic strategy to work with the Iraqi government to improve minority representation in the government. Peiser: No, we shouldn’t. My opinion is, we should only get involved if there’s a humanitarian crisis, where we can go in and quickly solve the problem. We should not be fighting a war in the Middle East. We’ve got a lot of things to take care of here in the continental U.S. At the same time, I do support Israel, and absolutely believe in its right to exist; if they became threatened directly, I would want to assist them. How big of a threat do you believe the Ebola virus poses to U.S. residents, and what can and should the federal government be doing in response? Peiser: I think we should be doing what we are doing, sending support to Africa, where there really is a crisis, and screening passengers coming to the United States. I think the threat is low to Americans. Issa: This is an issue we

have to take seriously. Thousands have already died in Africa, and we now have seen the first cases in the States. We need to take the steps necessary to contain the virus, including screening where effective, and make sure federal, state and local agencies are working seamlessly with healthcare professionals so that any instances of Ebola in the United States are quickly identified and isolated. What is the most important thing you can do for your constituents in the 49th District? Issa: Continue to have an honest dialogue with them, stand up for what’s right and speak out about what isn’t. I want to make government really great at what we need it to do, and keep it out of where it doesn’t belong. The Internet is a great example of something that has greatly benefited humanity and changed the way we live, and it has thrived largely without government interference. Inherently, bureaucracies want to fill that void and tax and regulate it. Protecting that creative space will be one of our great challenges. Peiser: I believe that jobs are still an issue, even though the unemployment rate is down. So there are two areas I would focus on from the federal perspective. One is infrastructure, like roads and transportation; there are a whole lot of jobs we could create locally by making funds available for repairing roads and expanding mass transit where appropriate. The second area would be renewable energy. San Diego County has become a center for solar power; one of my key issues is doing something about climate change, and this will create jobs with a strong focus on renewable energy. So the nice thing about doing something about climate change, it helps in two ways: We avoid the worst consequences of climate change, and it also brings jobs to our district. Do you think Congress deserves the low approval rating by voters? Why or why not? Peiser: I do think it’s deserved, because things just don’t seem to get done that seem very obvious to most Americans. If you look at polling, and things like gun safety issues, 90 or 95 percent of people in the U.S. think we should do background checks on every gun See CONGRESSIONAL, page 26

City of Solana Beach applying for grants to ensure sidewalk safety for people with disabilities

Gonzales Canyon enhancement planning workshop to be held Oct. 22

BY KRISTINA HOUCK In an effort to improve the accessibility and safety of city sidewalks for people with disabilities, Solana Beach is applying for funds from the Community Development Block Grant program. Council members on Oct. 8 approved the city’s grant application, which identified a dozen cross streets in need of ADA improvements. Administered by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, the program funds improvement projects in the county’s unincorporated areas and the cities of Coronado, Del Mar, Imperial Beach, Lemon Grove, Poway and Solana Beach. This is the third consecutive time Solana Beach is applying for grants to bring city sidewalks into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The city received nearly $40,000 in funds from the program for the current fiscal year, plus more than $29,000 carried over from the previous year. This year, the city identified a dozen cross streets along Acacia Avenue, Lomas Santa Fe, North Sierra, Pacific Avenue and Santa Rosita in need of ADA improvements. All 12 locations have vertical curbs with no pedestrian ramps. Similar to last year, staff expects to receive about $40,000 in funds.

BY KAREN BILLING The Friends of Gonzales Canyon will hold a workshop for canyon enhancement planning on Wednesday, Oct. 22, at 6 p.m. at the Carmel Valley Library. San Diego Canyonlands has established the Canyon Enhancement Planning Committee to create a guide for all canyons that promotes access, connections to the community, restoration, conservation, environment-based education and ecologically-sensitive recreation. All Gonzales Canyon stakeholders are invited to attend. The Friends will host several workshops in the coming months to prioritize the canyon’s needs such as habitat restoration, trail closures, trail improvements, new trails and other enhancement plans. The workshops will help create an action plan and then fundraising efforts will begin to implement the plan. Saturday, Oct. 18, at 9 a.m. will also be the regular Friends monthly event. Volunteers will be planting in the areas west of the creek at Sword Way to restore an area burned by fire. For more information, email Freddy Arthur at freddy@sdcanyonlands.org

Jersey Mike’s Subs coming to Beachside Del Mar Jersey Mike’s Subs, the popular fast-casual sub sandwich franchise, will open at Beachside Del Mar in the first quarter of 2015. Located on Del Mar Heights Road near Mango Drive, Beachside Del Mar is currently being remodeled to create an attractive and inviting village atmosphere to shop, dine and work. Jersey Mike’s is the first new tenant to be announced since renovations started earlier this year. “Jersey Mike’s will be an excellent addition to the Beachside Del Mar lineup,” said Russ Monroe, Donahue Schriber’s Property Manager for Beachside Del Mar. “As part of the renovation, our team is working hard to bring new choices to the center in line with the community’s desires and needs.” Similar to the company’s previous renovation of the Del Mar Highlands Town Center, Donahue Schriber engaged the local community through market surveys and online research to gather feedback about what visitors would like to see at the shopping center. Quality shopping, dining and gather-

ing amenities are planned for Beachside Del Mar without increasing the center’s size or layout. Franchise owners Cathy and Mike Brown, Carmel Valley residents with more than 30 years as restaurateurs, plan to celebrate the opening of the Beachside Del Mar Jersey Mike’s with a fundraiser to benefit a local charity. The Beachside Del Mar shop, which is the Browns’ sixth Jersey Mike’s, will operate seven days a week from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. in a new space next to Von’s. “We’re thrilled to be bringing east-coast style subs to Beachside Del Mar,” said Mike. “The location was a natural choice for us because we’ve lived in Del Mar, Carmel Valley and Solana Beach for the past 25 years. We look forward to opening a Jersey Mike’s in our hometown, and we have no doubt that our store will be embraced by the community.” For more information, visit www.donahueschriber.com or www.jerseymikes.com.

Scripps cancer researcher focuses on his own illness BY JOE TASH When Dan Williams was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in January, he was in a unique position to fight the disease. As a cancer researcher at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, Williams went into action with his colleagues, studying his own cancer cells to search for possible treatments. In spite of those efforts, Williams, 29, faces tough odds in his battle with the disease, which is the fourthhighest cause of cancer death in the United States. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Six percent make it to five years, which is terrible,â&#x20AC;? said Williams, a graduate student in the Ph.D. program at Scripps. â&#x20AC;&#x153;With research, things are getting better, but not really improving survival rates that much. The mean survival rate is six months.â&#x20AC;? Williams was an avid cyclist and surfer when, in January, he began suffering from back pain and jaundice. His diagnosis came just a couple of weeks after he joined a research team that was studying breast cancer. Doctors determined he had Stage 4 pancreatic cancer, the most serious diagnosis, and predicted he would live just six months. He enrolled in a clinical trial and initially the drugs worked, shrinking his tumors. But several weeks ago, he learned that new tumors were growing in his liver, meaning the cancer had spread even while he was undergoing chemotherapy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so devastating. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re at the end of the tunnel and you can see the light and youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re about to walk into it, then you have to start the same path again,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. He still has a few options, including radiation and different types of chemo drugs. But he knows that he faces a difficult struggle, which he might lose. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m preparing for the worst and hoping for the best,â&#x20AC;? he said. During his cancer battle, he has worked with local volunteers with the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network, a nonprofit that supports research and also helps pa-

In September, he ran in the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Purple Stride,â&#x20AC;? an annual 5K run and fundraising event put on by the group. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The first time I met him, he gave me goose bumps. Stage four and so young, and his outlook on this is amazing. No matter what happens, he wants to leave a legacy behind with what heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s doing,â&#x20AC;? said Anggie Becorest, a PanCAN volunteer who is also a rare, long-term pancreatic cancer survivor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never seen him not smile,â&#x20AC;? said Kimberly King, a San Diego TV news anchor and reporter whose father died from the disease last year, just six months after diagnosis. King also volunteers with PanCAN. Along with funding research, PanCAN has created a database to link pancreatic cancer patients with resources, including clinical trials that could help them fight the disease. The groupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s goal is to double the five-year survival rate by 2020. Williams said that by sharing his story, he seeks to raise awareness about this deadly disease, and help PanCAN achieve its goal. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I really want people to know this thingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a killer,â&#x20AC;? he said. Soon after he was diagnosed, Williams got to work in the lab. His blood samples were used to create an â&#x20AC;&#x153;antibody library,â&#x20AC;? and cells from the tumor in his liver were grown in petri dishes in the lab for further study. He also had his genome, and that of his cancer, sequenced, meaning that the DNA blueprints for Williams and his tumors were identified. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That revealed some pretty cool things,â&#x20AC;? he said. Foremost, he discovered a genetic mutation that contributed to his developing pancreatic cancer in the first place, and also pointed to a potential course of treatment, albeit one that is highly experimental. Because of the mutation, said Williams, the cancer cells would not be able to repair themselves if chemo drugs targeted and damaged their DNA. For now, because of his health, he is not spending as much time in the lab, and is instead writing grants seeking funding to continue his research and that of his colleagues, â&#x20AC;&#x153;because science is expensive.â&#x20AC;? As Williams continues his fight on two fronts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s office and the lab â&#x20AC;&#x201D; he draws support from his friends and family, including his mother, Jane Williams, a cancer nurse navigator at Scripps Clinic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I just keep my head down and I live for today. I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to look at the future. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s too hard,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Grammy Award-winning artist performs at CCA Making a return appearance after performing at Canyon Crest Academy’s Gala in May, two-time Grammy Award winner Laurence Juber gave a master class in CCA’s Proscenium Theater on Oct. 9. The event was sponsored by the CCA Foundation and the CCA Envision Program. Attended by hundreds of CCA students, parents, and faculty, Juber talked about his musical path, which led him to great success as a studio musician, lead guitarist for Paul McCartney’s band, Wings, and as a solo artist. The English-born Juber, who has released 22 solo albums and composed over 160 songs, told the captivated audience stories about his youth in London. He first picked up a guitar in 1963, at the age of 11, and soon realized that he could “actually make money playing gigs on the weekends rather than babysitting the next door neighbors kids, or washing cars.” Juber continued his music studies through high school, playing with the National Youth Jazz Orchestra, eventually earning a music degree at London University. He enjoyed a successful career as a

Guest artist Laurence Juber studio musician. It was through his studio career that he was introduced to Denny Laine, of Moody Blues fame, who was working with Paul Mc Cartney and Wings. Having been unfamiliar with the music of Wings, Juber borrowed his brother’s LP to learn a few tunes and auditioned for McCartney by “winging it.” Juber became lead guitar-

Wyatt Whitman, Ryan Denny

tist for Wings in 1978. In addition to his fascinating tales of working with many other great musicians, including George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and Danny Elfman, the audience was treated to a wonderful performance. Juber played many of his own songs, such as “Mosaic,” in addition to several Beatles tunes, including “Strawberry Fields”

CV Middle School first in national math contest San Diego’s Carmel Valley Middle School has some of the best middle-school mathematicians in the country, as demonstrated by its first-place finish in the 2014 Fall Startup Event, a national mathematics contest administered by National Assessment & Testing. Coach David Vaughn prepared students for the first major competition of the academic year, in which students worked furiously for 30 minutes, racing to answer 100 problems in a variety of mathematical topics. According to Tom Clymer, director of the competition, “It’s similar to a musician practicing scales; many of these skills can become almost instinctual.” With so many questions and so little time, competitors must not only have strong mathematical skills, but also be able to quickly decide which problems to solve and which to skip. After results from students around the country were processed, several Carmel Valley Middle School students received individual awards, helping their team to place first in the nation. Tristan Shin placed first, Andy Zhu was fourth, Ananth Rao placed sixth, Adam Zheng was 10th, and Emily Zhang and Jerry Huang tied for 23rd place. Carmel Valley Middle School will be participating in all four NA&T contests this year, including the 2014 Team Scramble on Nov. 6 and the 2014 Ciphering Time Trials on Dec. 11. Schools can consider participating in several other national math contests: The United States of America Mathematical Talent Search (http://www.usamts.org) is under way, and the first round will conclude on Nov. 5; The American Mathematics Competitions (http://www. maa.org/math-competitions) have a middle-school contest on Nov. 18, and high school contests on Feb. 3 or 25; MathCounts (http://www.mathcounts.org) is a middle-school contest with local competitions taking place in February. National Assessment & Testing (www.natassessment.com) administers high-quality mathematics competitions that high schools can participate in through the mail. Their contests cover a variety of formats, including individual and team tests, as well as different levels of difficulty, from 100 easy problems in 30 minutes to 15 complex problems in one week.

and “I Saw Her Standing There.” Between songs, the audience heard stories about Juber’s studio experiences working on soundtracks for “Dirty Dancing,” “Pocahontas,” and “Good Will Hunting.” Entertaining questions from the audience, he was prompted to play one of his favorites songs, “Little Wing” by one of his early influences, Jimi

Hannah Green, Aasje Day Hendrix. The master class is one of the many ways the CCA Foundation enriches the experience of every student every day through opportunities for learning beyond the classroom. Your tax deductible donations to the CCA Foundation can be made online at www.canyoncrestfoundation. org.

Teen Volunteers in Action SD-3 support REINS Teen Volunteers in Action recently visited the REINS Therapeutic Horsemanship Program in Bonsall. TVIA is an organization of young men who, with their families, participate in structured programs of volunteerism, philanthropy, and personal development. Through these programs the young men gain important leadership experience they can apply in their daily lives. The morning began with an introduction from REINS Volunteer Coordinator Maggie Schuur. She described the REINS program as providing benefits for those with a wide range of disabilities, including cerebral palsy, attention deficit disorders, Down syndrome, autism, spinal injuries, and cognitive development delays. The boys were interested to learn that the rhythmic motion of riding a horse simulates the typical movement of human walking and can therefore activate and strengthen abdominal muscles important to learning or re-learning how to walk. TVIA-SD3 Vice President Deanne Ryder commented, “This event involved hard work and team work and I was impressed with the energy and genuine interest the boys demonstrated. If today’s event is any indication of what’s ahead for these boys, they will have very impressive futures!” To learn more about TVIA visit http://www.tvia.org; to volunteer with REINS, go to http://www.reinsprogram.org/.

Signs of the times: Plaques mark historical walking tour in Del Mar Village BY KAREN POWELL The Del Mar Village Association History Committee, under the chairmanship of local attorney Bing Bush Jr., has installed plaques on several of the historically significant buildings in the Village of Del Mar. The plaques feature QR codes that link history with each building site so that pedestrians strolling through town can learn more about each building by scanning it with a smartphone or tablet. Plaques are at L’Auberge Del Mar, originally built circa 1910 and also known as the Stratford Inn and the Hotel Del Mar. Stratford Square, at 1442 Camino Del Mar was historically known as the Kockritz Building, and when established in 1927 was the most prominent building in town. What is now our Del Mar Library was originally St. James Catholic Church, and celebrated its first Mass in 1914 without pews, lights or an altar. St. James eventually outgrew its space and moved to Solana Beach in

Across the street from the library is the Davidson Building, built in 1927 as the Hotel Del Mar Garage. It later added gasoline and automotive services. Some longtime residents remember spending time there in their youth, watching the mechanics at work. The Stratford Inn Garage was the very first garage to be established in Del Mar in 1910 to serve hotel guests. Today we know it as Jake’s Del Mar. La Tienda/En Fuego Cantina and Grill was built in 1930 and housed the Family Mushet Office and Residence. Erected in 1926, the boutiques at 1414-1418 See TOUR, page 24

Solana Ranch Elementary students enjoyed a visit from Kevin Pearce. Below, essay winners present a check from the Solana Ranch PTO to Pearce and the Love Your Brain Foundation.

Solana Ranch students enjoy ‘brainy’ day fun Students at Solana Ranch Elementary met Kevin Pearce, a famous American snowboarder, on Oct. 7 as a part of “Ability Awareness Week.” To kick off the week, Solana Ranch students in grades 4-6 and their families were invited to see the awardwinning documentary, “The Crash Wheel,” about Pearce, who suffered a traumatic brain injury shortly before the Olympic Trials in 2009. He came to Solana Ranch for an inspirational assembly for the students, and 20 to 30 lucky students who won an essay contest got to meet Pearce before the assembly. His inspiring message is “Love Your Brain,” which is the name of his foundation. Pearce spoke about doing your personal best, never giving up, taking care of your brain by always wearing a helmet, and also doing things that are good for your brain like reading, art and exercise.

Nativity School students with their artwork.

The Nativity School supports benefit for the Maya Relief Foundation The Nativity School students’ artwork will be presented as part of an art exhibition to benefit the Maya Relief Foundation. Students from first through fifth grade created art compositions inspired by the theme “How Clean Water Blesses My Life.” Their work is going to be displayed at the Bluebird Boutique event, to be held at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center Oct. 17 and 18. Nativity teachers Mrs. Yanina Cambareri and Mrs. Dixon will be attending the event. The Maya Relief Foundation serves the poor in Guatemala and Mexico and focuses on improving the lives of mothers and children by addressing two main concerns: cooking and water. In those countries, people use indoor open cooking fires, which are very dangerous and unhealthy. The group provides stoves as well as water purifiers. In Guatemala, 95 percent of the water sources are contaminated. All of the profits from this boutique will help raise money for the cause. Visit www.mayarelief.com. The Nativity School’s focus on multiple intelligence philosophy of education is key to embracing how individual students learn, and art plays an important role in enhancing the students’ learning experience.

‘Shark Tank’ inspires DM author to help ‘mompreneurs’ swim, not sink BY KRISTINA HOUCK ABC’s “Shark Tank” has given a number of aspiring entrepreneurs access to potential investors as well as priceless publicity. But an appearance on the reality series isn’t enough to make a person millions overnight. In her new book, Del Mar author Rachel Olsen offers practical advice for women looking to bring a product to market. Giving a behind-the-scenes look at the show, “Shark Tank MOMpreneurs Take a Bite Out of Publicity: How 5 Inventors Leveraged Media to Build Their Business + How YOU Can, Too” shares the stories of five women who were featured and funded on “Shark Tank.” “For anybody who’s looking to go on ‘Shark Tank,’ it’s a very informative read about the realities and the behind-thescenes of what goes on,” said Olsen, who released the book June 7 — the same day local entrepreneurs pitched casting directors from “Shark Tank” in San Diego. “These women are so passionate about what they created and what they are doing, and that just shines through.” As the founder of Best Mom Products, a podcast that features women who are mothers and entrepreneurs, Olsen has interviewed dozens of “mompreneurs,” including five women who would eventually be featured on “Shark Tank” — Shelly Ehler of Showno, Megan Gage of Hot Tot, Betsy Johnson of SwimZip, Tiffany Krumins of Ava the Elephant and Amber Schaub of Rufflebutts. “They were doctors or attorneys, but once they had kids, they wanted to stay home and they needed more flexibility,” said Olsen about the roughly 50 women she has interviewed since launching her podcast in 2011. “As they had babies, they realized their child could really use something and the product wasn’t on the market, or they could make a product better, so they became entrepreneurs.” Like the women she has interviewed, Olsen also had an idea for a product inspired by her experience as a mother. When her second child began having “breathing spells” and stopped breathing in her crib, Olsen, who has a background in

marketing and public relations, began researching audio CPR kits for parents. “I started my podcast because as I started to look for information online, I found a lot of ‘Mommy Rachel Olsen millionaire overnight’ sites, and I didn’t feel like that was a voice I related to,” Olsen said. “I wanted practical advice.” From her podcast to her book, Olsen has looked for a variety of ways to offer advice to women. Inspired by “Shark Tank,” her book has garnered the attention of businesswoman and “Shark Tank” investor Barbara Corcoran. “As a Shark, I’ve been in the tank with these entrepreneurs and I can tell you Rachel gets right to the heart of how they succeeded,” said Corcoran in her endorsement of the book. “‘Shark Tank MOMpreneurs’ is a must read for anyone looking to learn the inside secrets of getting on ‘Shark Tank’ and landing a deal, or getting the publicity that’s essential for any successful business.” With her book on sale and her children now in school, Olsen is now focused on her latest project to help mompreneurs. She is now launching Just Pitch Me, an online training course for entrepreneurs bringing a baby- or child-related product to market. “Whatever business you have, if you truly believe in what you’re doing, you’re capable of going anyplace and doing anything,” said Olsen, whose 4- and 6-year-old daughters recently started kindergarten and second grade at Del Mar Heights Elementary School. “Pursue your dreams.” For information about Olsen, her book and online training course, visit bestmomproducts.com.

Canyon Crest Academy alumnus wins CV authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Danny Dogâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book Blankfeld Award for Media Critique tells the story of a special rescue dog BY KRISTINA HOUCK Two years ago, Elijah Granet was writing for student magazines at Carmel Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Canyon Crest Academy. Now, the San Diego native is being recognized nationally for his work, having recently received HonestReportingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third Blankfeld Award for Media Critique. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is such an honor,â&#x20AC;? said Granet, 19. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To know that HonestReporting saw my writing and thought that it reflected their journalistic mission is incredibly humbling. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very exciting.â&#x20AC;? A political science sophomore at Columbia University, Granet also studies the Talmud at Jewish Theological Seminary in New York City and is a regular contributor to the Times of Israel blog. He also wrote several opinion pieces for The Daily Californian during his first year of college at UC Berkeley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Particularly, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m interested in issues related to Israel,â&#x20AC;? said Granet, who founded an American Israel Public Affairs Committee club at CCA and was on the executive board of the Tikvah: Students for Israel group at UC Berkeley. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m interested in how things are discussed and how things are referred to â&#x20AC;&#x201D; smaller things that maybe donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get in the headlines.â&#x20AC;? Formed in 2000, HonestReporting monitors the media for what it perceives as bias against Israel. The organizationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Blankfeld Award for Media Critique recognizes aspiring journalists who demonstrate a commitment to the values of objective and honest reporting, specifically in the field of the Arab-Israeli conflict. For this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s contest, HonestReporting received entries from student writers from around the globe, including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia and South Africa. The judging panel consisted of the Jerusalem Postâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Political Editor Gil Hoffman, HonestReporting staff members and HonestReporting Board Member Max Blankfeld, the sponsor of the $2,000 award. As the recipient of the Blankfeld Award, Granet has

committed to write at least four pieces in 2015 for the HonestReporting website. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just an award recognizing my writing, it allows me to continue writing and work with such a great organization,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an opportunity to do more of what I love.â&#x20AC;?

Inspired by the journey of Danny, his familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new rescue dog, Carmel Valley author Sid Shapira has written a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Danny Dog.â&#x20AC;? The book tells the tale of a little dog found on the street, and the rescue organization that helped him find his happy ending and a home sweet home. The Shapira family adopted Danny, 17 pounds of fluffy gray Shih-Tzu, in August 2013. In talking to the Emerald City Pet Rescue organization that saved Danny and cared for him while he was homeless, Shapira learned more about what the dog went through and felt his story should be told. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was fascinated by his story and realized there are so many dogs just like him,â&#x20AC;? Shapira said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope this book teaches children about rescue animals and the importance of giving them a second chance and a forever home.â&#x20AC;? A former journalist, Shapira worked in public relations and marketing communications but never lost his affinity for being a storyteller. He wrote his first

Inaba wrote. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The artwork is wonderful and Danny danced off the page and into my heart. I would love all children to read this wonderful book to learn a little about the plight of homeless animals. It makes you smile. I give it a 10!â&#x20AC;?

One Paseo: Wolves in sheep’s clothing In reading Karen Billing’s CV News article, “Planning Commission Delays One Paseo Vote to Oct. 16”), it no longer surprises me to read sentences like this one: “A recommendation must have the votes of four of the seven planning commissioners, although two have recused themselves due to financial interests in the project.” In fact, when our local CV Planning Board voted on this issue last month, two of our local board members had to recuse themselves from voting on this issue for the very same reason, and a third one probably should have. Thankfully, the rest of our local CV Planning Board stood up for this community and did the right thing in recommending a “No” vote on the current proposal to the City Council. Now it is the San Diego Planning Commission’s turn to make their final recommendation to the City Council; the same commission (with its two members who will recuse themselves from voting) that approved the current outrageous One Paseo proposed triply oversized, urbanized, downtown-like project to begin with — in spite of admitting at the last CV Planning Board meeting that this project will leave Carmel Valley with an unmitigated traffic problem for years to come, along with a housing/urban density well above what was ever intended for Carmel Valley. From the get-go, this community has had to fight a pro-One Paseo force composed of those who stand to financially benefit from the current plan. As for the rest of us, the majority of Carmel Valley residents are not opposed to developing this lot, we simply oppose a proposal that is this far removed from what our community was planned and promised to be. We’re about to find out just how important our voices are, or whether they are even heard at all. Kim Perl, M.D. Carmel Valley resident

State ballot measures perplexing BY GORDON CLANTON • Yes on 1. Tough call. The trusted environmental lobbying group, the Planning and Conservation League, neither supports nor opposes this water bond. PCL likes the water reclamation provisions, but opposes the earmarking of two specific dams for both environmental and economic reasons. • Yes on 2. All Democrats and all Republicans in the state Legislature support the idea of a rainy-day fund. I also support substantially increasing education spending. • Yes on 45. This proconsumer measure requires that the insurance commissioner approve health-insurance rates. California auto and home insurance companies have been required to justify rate hikes since 1988, resulting in huge savings for policyholders. Prop. 45 is supported by the Democratic Party and by Harvey Rosenfield, author in 1988 of Prop. 103, which reduced auto insurance premiums. Prop. 45 is opposed by the Republican Party and by most Chambers of Commerce. The opposition is bankrolled by big health in-

surance companies: Blue Shield, Kaiser, WellPoint. The message of the opposition is: “It’s too much power to give one politician” — so please leave that power with us, the health insurance companies! • No on 46. While I support the idea of raising liability limits to accommodate inflation, I cannot support routine drug testing of medical personnel. As Doug Porter wrote recently, “I don’t care if my caregiver smoked a joint before the Paul McCartney concert.” Prop. 46 also is opposed by the American Civil Liberties Union, the Chambers of Commerce, and the Republican Party — strange bedfellows. • Yes on 47. Reducing prison sentences for some nonviolent crimes is a necessary corrective on the three-strikes mentality that has crowded our prisons without making us safer. Prop. 47 is supported not

only by the usual liberal suspects, but also by evangelical Protestants, taxpayers groups, and Newt Gingrich! Incarceration costs California $62,000 per inmate per year. • No on 48. As a longtime friend of native people, and despite my general discomfort with large-scale gambling, I supported the original Indian casino initiative in 2000. But I voted No on subsequent initiatives that greatly expanded Indian “gaming” and brought the big Las Vegas casinos to tribal lands. Prop. 48 would allow an Indian casino to be built on Indian-owned land almost 40 miles from the reservation of one of the sponsoring tribes and about 400 miles from the other. If passed, this measure would encourage more “reservation shopping,” more offrez Indian casinos, more tax-exempt businesses competing with established local businesses.

‘Superintendent’s Forum’ disappointing I attended last week’s “ Superintendent’s Forum” which I learned about from an announcement in your paper and was very disappointed. According to the announcement in your Oct. 2 edition, the Superintendent would “field questions from parents.” Only about three or four dozen interested parents were in attendance at the large CCA auditorium. Instead of the town hall type forum I expected covering a range of issues identified in the announcement, what transpired was a lengthy, one-hour monologue by the Superintendent followed by an “opportunity” for attendees to write down their questions on a 3x5 card and submit for answer. My particular question on a recent district sole source procurement was screened out and never asked. I don’t know how many others went unasked and unanswered. Most of the parents in attendance I spoke to about the forum expressed surprise and dismay about the structure of this “ forum.” One summed it up simply as “controlled.” According to Merriam-Webster’s Dictionary, a forum is “ a meeting at which a subject can be discussed.” There was no discussion whatsoever on Oct. 9 apart from the murmurings in the audience and the dialogue after the public meeting ended. As evidenced by this so-called forum, the board seems reluctant to engage the public, dialogue and listen to their feedback. Doug Perkins

Why One Paseo is already a done deal Re: One Paseo Some will call me a cynic, others a realist. The approval for Kilroy to build 1.4 million square feet is a done deal. Here is why. All the arm-waving and speeches about traffic, response time, quality of life, community planning board rhetoric and all the rest count for naught. It’s theater. There is a ton of money on the table. Money talks. Politicians listen. For the City Planners, inspectors and so on, it’s job security for years. If you don’t build, you don’t need them. For the Planning Commission, they live with and work with the City people every day. Can’t turn your back on them. And besides, it means lots of jobs for the construction trades. For the City Council, it’s campaign cash. My prediction: The District One council member will vote against the project. Four or five other council members will vote for it, and it will be approved. It is called “giving your friend cover.” Patrick K. Stewart

FORUM continued from page 1

Schmitt said. “We have an open mind. We’re not sure where (the study group) will take us. No decisions will be made behind closed doors. “Our job is to listen, not just to react and fix it. If we just redraw boundaries, then someone is going to be on the other side of the line,” Schmitt said. “Choice has been popular, but we want to determine if families still feel that way.” Schmitt noted that since 2004, 99 percent of freshman students have landed at their school of choice. At its Oct. 2 meeting, the board also approved a facilitator for the study group from Creative Alliance Group in a 4-1 vote, with trustee John Salazar voting against it. “Some families questioned whether that was fair or right,” Schmitt said of the facilitator. Parents’ concerns were that the facilitator lives in

La Costa and has two children at San Dieguito High School Academy. Schmitt assured the public that the facilitator is unbiased and will move the group along “without a stake in it.” The facilitator will cost $350 an hour. One audience member at the forum challenged Schmitt about that, since there appears to be no cap on pay. Schmitt said the district has dozens of service contracts like that one, and the facilitator’s fees are “well-deserved.” He also said that the district is always looking for ways to save money, and added, as an example, that by being their own project manager for their Prop AA work, they are saving about $8 million. Also to help deal with the issue, the district has moved up two Prop AA projects, to build two new classroom buildings at both of the academies to meet capacity demands. The district is also looking at changing the bell schedule at Torrey Pines and

La Costa Canyon, as the flexible bell schedule is one of the main reasons why students opt for the academies. Schmitt believes changing the bell schedules at LCC and TPHS will have a positive effect on the selection process. He said the district works “extraordinarily hard” to keep parents in the loop with coffee mornings and evening events with principals, social and traditional media, and last week’s tours of Proposition AA projects. For the Common Core transition, the district held 18 meetings attended by 2,000 parents. The feedback received is essential, he said. Schmitt said around the country some of the complaints about Common Core are that the materials are not aligned, teaches aren’t trained and parents aren’t “in the know.” At SDUHSD, Schmitt said, they have customized their own curriculum so that it is aligned, they’ve invested thousands of hours

in training teachers on instructional strategies, and they have a well-developed website with resources for parents’ Common Core questions. “It’s not perfect, but we take it seriously,” he said. One parent had concerns about the concept of “integrated math” and said that it was not working for their eighth-grade student. Michael Grove, assistant superintendent of educational services, said that integrated math — the combination of algebra, geometry and algebra II in one grade-level class — is not a new concept, although it is a new curricular approach for the district. “The issues with students struggling have to do with the transition to the Common Core, not integrated math. Students are going to struggle a little bit … they were taught computation and calculations and a lot of

repetition and drill learning. Common Core, regardless of traditional or integrated math, asks students to deeply understand and explain their thinking. They’re asked to think about math in a different way.” Grove said that at a recent meeting at Carmel Valley Middle School, they heard that parents are struggling with how they can help their students at home. The district has set up a Common Core tab on its website with links providing support for parents and students. Workbook material, classwork, activities, sample problems and instructional videos can all be found online throughout the modules for every class level. At the forum, Schmitt also took the time to address some of his observations regarding family balance. “Our kids are under immense pressure in high

school,” he said, noting that between 1975 and 2010, the number of college-eligible students has doubled, but the number of seats available at those colleges has stayed the same. “It has created a competitive environment for kids.” Schmitt said the district wants to avoid piling pressure on students, who may feel the need to be involved in every after-school activity and rack up four to eight AP classes, which isn’t even a normal load for the average college student. “There’s a price to pay for that … think about the balance in the family,” Schmitt said, adding that there is a college out there for every kid who wants to go. “We want our kids to have an amazing high school experience that isn’t all about the performance.”

the San Dieguito Union High School District? 1) The budget is a constant concern with uncertainty around what the State might or might not do at various times which really affects the financial position of local districts. There are unfunded liabilities in the budget which must be addressed as well; 2) The transition to Common Core; 3) Reviewing policies regarding school boundaries and school choice will be an important discussion in the coming months; 4) And a topic I think deserves attention is how does a great district continue to evolve and stay at the forefront? Are we doing enough technology education since this is a great area of job growth and U.S. employers say they must now look overseas to find qualified candidates? 3.) How would you propose to address those issues? Budget — I am conservative in my budgeting approach. District staff has weathered the economic downturn, but because we

have current unfunded obligations and mandates, I will take great care before deciding to make new commitments while understanding there are valid needs now that need to be met. Common Core — I want to provide teachers with the support they need for successful implementation and be sure to address any concerns parents raise. Choice — It is wonderful that our district has schools with unique personalities and strengths from which to choose. The board continues to paint the boundary issue as either/or. Either we have choice or we have boundaries. I think that’s a wrong approach. It is possible to have boundaries to delineate geographical areas for the schools and continue with the current lottery system. Let families decide which school they want to attend. Absolutely. If demand exceeds capacity only then would boundaries come into play allowing priority for students who live near the school. According to the district statistics, in most years every student gets their first choice anyway. Technology — We need

to keep this in the spotlight and look for opportunities to do more like expand the pilot coding classes occurring now. 4.) Do you agree with the way the San Dieguito Union High School District board operates? If not, what changes do you think need to be made? The nuts and bolts operations of the board are consistent with the way school district boards are required to operate. For the most part teachers and parents express they have felt supported by the board. That is something I would hope to continue. What I would like to change is the representative composition on the board. Do we need term limits perhaps? Experience is good, but when every member’s experience is similar and their kids have already moved up and out of the district, perhaps it’s time for some new members, or at least one, who can reflect the parents now. I would also try to be accessible and open to discussion and engagement on issues from the community. The superintendent has stated communication is one of his priorities and I support that

endeavor wholeheartedly. 5.) How do you think your experience can help address some of these issues and others that come before the San Dieguito Union High School District board? I learned a lot through my experience in city government and as a consultant with KPMG where I was assigned the sensitive task of re-engineering government operations to make them more efficient. In both work environments I was faced with political and controversial issues where it felt at first that consensus was not possible. I pride myself on being a creative solutionseeker and collaborative team player. I have also worked in environments where budgets are tight in particular in my work with nonprofits where every day you must do more with less. I do not shy away from controversy and engagement. I love discussing issues with those who are interested and learning new points of view. I also know as a mom, I am not afraid to fight and advocate for my kids and I can apply that same tenacity to advocate and listen to the needs of all the students in the district.

At its meeting Tuesday, the board also approved a logo for the 2015 San Diego County Fair. Fairgrounds officials had earlier announced the fair’s theme, “A Fair to Remember,” which will commemorate the 100th anniversary of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition, which was held in Balboa Park. Exhibits will also celebrate other world fairs. Officials also announced a partnership with the city of San Diego

city to jointly promote the 2015 fair and Balboa Park. In other business, fairgrounds staff said a request for proposals from companies interested in operating a microbrewery and restaurant in a building now occupied by an under-used satellite wagering facility on the fairgrounds property has been issued to 119 potential bidders. Of those bidders, 64 were in San Diego, 51 in California and 4 from out of state. The proposals are due Dec. 8, and staff hopes to come before the 22nd DAA board with a recommendation on a microbrewery operator at the board’s January meeting.

Despite its 1989 origin, the Del Mar Plaza has become another historically significant building and has a plaque commemorating its past and evolution. Future plaques are planned for Zel’s Restaurant, named after longtime business owner, resident and city supporter Zel Camiel. The restaurant occupies the original Pacific Telephone Exchange’s Kline Center site, which was relocated in the 1970s. A plaque is also proposed for the Bully’s building on Camino Del Mar.

Female Athlete Volunteers in third year of service Female Athlete Volunteers kicked off its new season of community service by partnering with Advocates for Injured Athletes to attend their Athletes Saving Athletes program. This program taught the girls how to understand the signs and symptoms of sports related injuries and chronic medical conditions that can occur on the sports fields. The girls learned how to recognize head/neck injuries, apply basic CPR and even how to use an automated external defibrillator. FAV is now in its third year as a community service organization for female athletes in grades 7-10. The organization has more than 60 members, and opened up a new chapter this year with 23 middle school members. Last year, the members delivered more than 600 hours of community service to more than 40 organizations around San Diego County. They are proudest of their biggest accomplishment, which was to raise $8000 to support a child in the Make-A-Wish program, and send her and her family to Disney World last April. Already this year, the girls have helped serve food to the hungry, helped package meals with FFCC, and are working multiple weekends with Top Soccer to play soccer with young athletes with special needs.

provide safe and enriching learning environments , equipped to handle increased use of technology and our growing communities. •Advocated for elective classes that match our students’ interests in areas like music recording, engineering, coding, fashion design, digital photography, culinary arts, robotics etc. 2) What do you think are the biggest issues facing the San Dieguito Union High School District? I see that the biggest issues in our district are reflected in the 2014/15 priorities identified by our district leadership. They are: 1) To offer a cohesive curriculum, instruction, and assessment program aligned to the Common Core. 2) To ensure that all funding we receive is budgeted appropriately and taxpayer-provided funds are managed wisely as we enter budget stabilization and recovery. 3) Provide facilities aligned with instructional priorities, school safety, balanced enrollment capacity and our multi-year Prop AA projects. 3) How would you propose to address those issues? 1) Our district has started implementing curriculum that is focused on creativity and critical thinking in order to give our students the skills they need to prepare them for college and careers in our quickly changing world. We have done this in a slow gradual process by focusing on teacher collaboration and training. As we continue our multi-year implementation of Common Core, I am committed to making sure that our students and teachers are provided with the resources they need during the transition.

sale, and reduce size of magazines and guns, and Congress can’t pass legislation for something as simple as that. Issa: I think both Congress and the President have earned the thumbsdown they’ve received from the voters. It’s not OK for government to fail us as often as it does without some consequence for those involved in the process. They spent $2 billion on the healthcare.gov website and the most basic function,

2) As our district recovers from the recession and enters budget recovery, it will be important to continue the sound fiscal practices that have served the district well in recent years. I promise to ensure that our increased tax payer provided resources be spent on improving and enriching the learning environments for all of our students. 3) We have been entrusted with a $449 million school facilities bond. I will continue to provide oversight to ensure that our Prop AA projects are completed on time and budget, with as little disruption to our students as possible so that they can enjoy their school experience. 4) Do you agree with the way the San Dieguito Union High School District School board operates? If not, what changes do you think need to be made? Yes, as a board member for the past four years I have been impressed with the collaborative culture of our district. I appreciate and support the longstanding tradition in SDUHSD where the school board and district leaders have balanced putting students first, while operating with the realities of limited resources. We have worked hard to increase communication and respond to community concerns. The superintendent we hired last year has fostered and modeled open dialogue with us and our school communities. In order to prepare for board meetings, I make sure that I do my homework and discuss issues with our staff and community members in order to make sound decisions. Although we come from different backgrounds and perspectives, we maintain a level of civility and professional dialogue that en-

courages the best work out of our very capable and dedicated staff. Having seen how disruptive school boards can be when personal agendas take precedence, I am committed to keeping personal politics out of our boardroom. 5) How do you think your experience can help address some of these issues that come before the San Dieguito Union High School District board? I’ve spent the first four years getting to know all of our school communities, personnel, and polices and would like to continue to use that knowledge to support our students. I’ve made it a priority to attend multiple community and school events across our large and diverse district in order to understand each school’s unique campus culture. Completing all the requirements for the California School Board Association’s Masters In Governance program has given me a deeper understanding of the role an effective board member should play in a school district. My longtime, active management in our family’s successful construction company has given me experience in budget preparation, fiscal oversight, and human resources. Working in the construction industry also helps me with understanding and oversight of our Prop AA building projects. I feel fortunate to live in a district filled with involved parents, dedicated teachers, and a supportive community that values public education. If re-elected, I promise to ensure that our focus remains on our primary job as stated in our district mission statement: “To give all of our students a world class education that prepares them to be lifelong learners and responsible members of society.”

MCDOWELL

signing up, didn’t work. That’s a high-profile example, but one that is symptomatic of decision-making across the government. It’s grown so big that it fails to perform even its most basic functions. We have to do better. Why should voters elect (or re-elect) you to Congress? Issa: Because I’ve kept faith with my constituents; we share a common belief in limited, but effective, government. I promised them I would stand up and confront wrongdoing and

waste in government, and they’ve seen the effort and know that I haven’t held anything back. Americans have a right to an effective, efficient government that is accountable to them. Government fails us too often, and no one seems to be held accountable. It’s only going to change if we insist on accountability, and I’ll fight for that on their behalf as long as I have the privilege and the honor to represent them in Congress. Peiser: For a couple of big reasons. Our district currently has a representative

who shows up to Congress every day, from what I can see, and thinks about what he can do for himself, rather than what he can do for people and businesses of the 49th District. I will focus on bringing the voice of constituents to Washington, D.C. My motivation is to serve constituents; what people would get from me in Congress is more of a statesman, someone working to solve the problems of the country, as opposed to my opponent, who is more of a politician looking to score political points.

continued from page 5

also the community that pay and use the resources the district offers. 2.) What do you think are the biggest issues facing the San Dieguito Union High School District? The implementation of Common Core, getting the most out of every taxpayer dollar that comes in for the schools, including ensuring local funding stays local, providing choices for students on where to attend and how to learn and improving the transparency on board decisions. There are more new homes being built near CCA and a resurgence of young families moving close to San Dieguito Academy. Many of these families expect to be able to have their kids walk to school. Under the current lottery system they may not be able to attend a school they can walk to. 3.) How would you propose to address those issues? Monitoring the implementation of Common Core carefully by: taking an active interest in what the public and staff indicates is working and not working, keeping an eye on what the internal data indicates, as well as noting how we are performing against other districts. Our community pays the bulk of the funds the district receives through property tax, Mello-Roos, and the approved AA Bond. Payments on the AA Bond will be on our tax bills until 2048 and the Mello-Roos bills can be for 30 years. Getting the most of out of every dollar only happens with a board that checks to ensure bids are competitive, “not to exceed” is written on all purchase orders, bonds are not sold at higher rates than necessary, and interest rates and bond draws are used for new capital needs instead of refinancing.

The district is already redefining the boundaries by indicating what students are automatically in at the new middle school near CCA. They did not use a small “study group” to make that decision. I question the effectiveness of that type of group. Having a filtered summary is not the right approach on this important issue. Instead, I would switch to electronic surveys, open workshops and interactive forums to ensure everyone’s vote is heard. Additional counseling support would help our students decide on what classes will help them achieve future success and help them identify new areas to explore that might identify previously hidden potential or provide them with lifelong skills. 4.) Do you agree with the way the San Dieguito Union High School District board operates? If not, what changes do you think need to be made? There is a difference between running an efficient meeting and running a fast meeting because no one thinks their input matters. I see the need for more transparency and stronger efforts encouraging public participation at board meetings as key to successful schools. The district has an excellent staff, that is prepared to answer hard questions that come from the public and to go back and improve what the board is asked to approve, but it seems they never do because all motions seems to get passed as presented. Changes would include moving public input up and providing more details on what will be on future agendas, ensuring easier access for the public to look at purchase orders prior to votes, making it easier for the public to access presentation materials, which currently

many times appear only in the minutes after the meetings. We live in a great and caring community and the board can do more to take advantage of them. 5.) How do you think your experience can help address some of these issues and others that come before the San Dieguito Union High School District board? In Little League, my focus on the board has been to ensuring every player and future manager is given the same opportunity to succeed. I try to ensure they all have the same access to all of the same data. My volunteering in Boy Scouts provides me opportunities to hear students’ views on civility, governance, giving back to the community and for me to help them see the benefits of savings and being self-reliant. On the City Traffic, Parking and Safety Advisory committee I listen to concerns expressed by home owners and businesses, giving me an understanding of the perspective they have versus just hearing from parents. During my tenure on the Del Mar Union School board we put in place many of the staff members and core leadership group still there today. We opened a new school, purchased and moved into a new district office, and implemented a policy change related to school site assignment. Now families may finish their elementary education at the same school the child started at, even if there was a change in their designated neighborhood school. In business, my successes were team successes. My role in finance was just one piece of the puzzle. Working collaboratively, and as part of a team is something I have done and look forward to do as part of the San Dieguito Union High School District board.

MUIR continued from page 6 tions. People want to know when and how their money is being spent! We must also take politics out of the school district offices by prioritizing the needs of our students and their families over teacher-union demands. The district should not pay for union activities and instead focus on the needs of the students and the school district in general. This would include returning the union president back to the classroom, so that he can teach classes instead of paying him to work on union issues. I would focus on successful student performance and better funding priorities. I would want the district to have college-prep classes available

sues? We as a board can address these issues ourselves. We don’t need a task force to do our job for us. Elect individuals like myself who are open to this type of change so we can work to make it happen. 4.) Do you agree with the way the San Dieguito Union High School District board operates? If not, what changes do you think need to be made? For the most part yes, during my four years on the board I think generally we have operated well. I am proud of my role on the board over the last four years in helping the district achieve its recent successes, but we must not accept the status quo

commencing freshman year — not senior year, which is too late. The district should also have a period class where tutoring is accessible each day for the students who need it. I would request to eliminate the Superintendent’s paid “Life Coach” and reallocate this money to increase school safety and expand innovation and technology training. 4.) Do you agree with the way the San Dieguito Union High School District board operates? If not, what changes do you think need to be made? In general no, I don’t agree with how they prioritize spending tax dollars. They are not transparent regarding the spending of millions of dollars of bond funds, and they’re not accessible to parents. They were elected to make the hard decisions, but instead they spend hard-earned tax

dollars on unnecessary retreats and expensive consultants — as a buffer and a filter — instead of having a community forum and seeking community feedback. They don’t reach out to the community. 5.) How do you think your experience can help address some of these issues and others that come before the San Dieguito Union High School District board? As an experienced school board member, I’m not afraid to ask tough questions and make tough decisions. Questions that are focused on what are best for the students, parents and taxpayers. My vision is based on guiding principles that are shared and expected by our residents. Fiscal responsibility, accountability, educational excellence and transparency are my decisionmaking bases.

but continue to get better. On those occasions when our stakeholders, whether they be taxpayers, parents, teachers, or students ask for some type of change, I believe everyone should be heard. On those issues when we can, and if it makes sense, we need to be open to change and responsive, particularly to you, our students, and parents/taxpayers when you asked for it. My first priority will always be to our students and you, their parents. 5.) How do you think your experience can help address some of these issues and others that come before the San Dieguito Union High School District board? As a result of my experience from the last four years, there will be no need for me to get up to speed on issues. That experience, combined with my background in the private sector

I believe allows me to be able to provide a balanced and open approach to all issues at the district. It is important, as members of the board that we be willing to ask the tough questions; is this the best choice or why are we doing it this way. I am not afraid to ask those questions, and am the only member of the board who has ever voted in opposition to the administration over the last four years. We have had hundreds of votes over my term, and I have supported the administration most of the time, but I don’t believe you elected me to be a rubber stamp. I believe the district is better as a result of a free and open discussion of all issues. The school board needs someone like me who represents the best interests of all of our stakeholders in the district and doesn’t favor one group over another.

TP Falcons dominate Carlsbad, 26-14 BY WALTER BAYS The 5-0 Torrey Pines Falcon freshmen visited the 4-1 Carlsbad Lancers and came away with a 26-14 win.

Falcons Sully O’Brien ran 52 yards for a touchdown, caught a 12-yard pass for a touchdown, and returned a kickoff 74 yards to set up another touchdown. Zach Friedland had touchdown runs of 90 yards and 4 yards; while on defense, he made several tackles in the Lancer backfield and recovered a fumble. Connor Munoz and Beau Morgans each had an interception, and Morgans also had a pass completion. The defensive line dominated Carlsbad with backfield penetration responsible for crucial stops on 3rd and 4th down. Especially notable were Michael Perrone, Connor Nichols, Spencer Grant, and Matthew Goena. Torrey Pines went ahead in the 1st quarter on O’Brien’s run only to see the Lancers tie it with an 82 yard kickoff return. A pass from Jackie Plashkes to O’Brien put the Falcons ahead 14-7, and Munoz’s interception finished Carlsbad’s chances in the half. In the second half, Carlsbad put together a good drive but it ended with Morgans’ interception on the Falcon goal line, taking it out to the 10. Torrey Pines, which had enjoyed superior field position, found itself facing a long 90 yards. Friedland took the ball up the middle, and once through the Carlsbad line, it was a footrace, which he won. Torrey Pines 20-7 after the extra point was blocked.

Torrey Pines had the ball 4th and 3 at the Carlsbad 27 with time running out, but still enough for Carlsbad to make a comeback if they got the ball. The handoff was to Morgans who took a step, jumped up, and threw a strike to Parker Williams for a first down inside the 20 to put the game away. The Falcons take on Oceanside at home at 5 p.m. Oct. 16.

Therefore, prudent implement of the Proposition AA Bond projects will be the most immediate issue at hand. 3.) How would you propose to address those issues? Throughout my career in education I was called upon to oversee each and every phase of high school and middle school programs. I am thoroughly familiar with all phases of school construction. My extensive administrative and classroom experience will benefit the oversight of bond expenditures. I am truly excited about the ongoing improvements that our communities have approved. 4.)

Union High School District board operates? If not, what changes do you think need to be made? I view the accomplishments of the board and the current administration with high esteem. My only desire is to contribute to the district’s continuing harmony and success. I have observed cohesive, collegial, productive boards work together as a team. When that happens, parents and students benefit. When petty interests, hidden agendas, or secretive politics emerge, everybody loses. I am committed to working openly, honestly, and in good faith with all people I encounter in life. I intend to bring those values to all personal and professional interactions. 5.) How do you think your experience can help address some of these issues and others that come before the San Dieguito Union High School District board?

I spent many years of my professional career as a school administrator in state and nationally honored schools. My service included the principalships of Torrey Pines High School and La Costa Canyon High School. I also served as a classroom teacher and district office administrator. Over the years I have evaluated countless employees. I have personally hired and dismissed school employees. I have attended hundreds of professional workshops and trainings. My very favorite role in education has been that of a teacher who attempted to bring history alive in the classroom. I have earnestly studied the past and speculated about the future. In sum, all of my life experiences have provided me a broad range of insights and skills applicable to 21st century schools.

vised progress reports for all grade levels, from transitional kindergarten through sixth grade. A task force of teachers collaborated to develop the revised progress reports during the summer. The report cards will be used throughout the 2014-

15 school year. The task force will reconvene next summer to review recommendations made by teachers after using the progress reports for a year. District staff will present the final progress reports to the board in August 2015.

enormous responsibility. 3.) How would you propose to address those issues? #1 — Through conservative management, our district weathered the recent recession without teacher layoffs, without eliminating programs, and without reduction of school days. SDUHSD closed the last two budget years with a surplus. I will make sure that the district continues to keep students as the top priority as each tax dollar is spent and that reserves are restored to improve financial stability. As a “basic aid” district, the majority of our funding comes from our local property taxes, which involves cash flow and timing factors. #2 — The implementation of curriculum instruction that emphasizes not just learning the basic concepts, but also applying that knowledge is going to take thoughtful, deliberate planning and teacher support. We need to do what works best for our students and parents. As a parent, I know the importance of constant communication and feedback from parents. #3 — The community-approved construction fund will create schools to meet our students’ needs for the next 30 years. This money is totally

separate from the district’s operating budget. I will work to see that it used as effectively as possible for approved projects that provide safe, secure, up-to-date schools for our students. 4.) Do you agree with the way the San Dieguito Union High School District board operates? If not, what changes do you think need to be made? As a current SDUHSD board member, I know that the majority of the SDUHSD school board members do their “homework,” attend school events and make decisions focused on what’s best for our students. They treat staff and each other in a respectful manner. Our backgrounds and personalities differ, but politics and personal agendas are left outside the boardroom. Being a school board member is a non-partisan position. SDUHSD is strong because the board majority does not let politics to get in the way of what’s best for students. This sets the tone of respect and professionalism for the entire district. Our district deserves a board where all five members put students first when making decisions. 5.) How do you think your experience can help address some of these issues and others that come before the San Dieguito Union High School District board? My personal history and knowledge of not only

SDUHSD, but also our community gives me invaluable perspective and context. As a student, parent and board member, I have seen SDUHSD and our area evolve into something that could not have been imagined 50 years ago. We are a much more diverse community than we once were. And while overall our community is more affluent than in the past, we still have areas that are not. As changes occur, it is essential that SDUHSD’s environment of respect, accountability, and openness stays intact. My experience as a board member extends beyond SDUHSD. I am also an elected member of the California School Board Association’s Delegate Assembly, representing San Diego County school boards. This gives me an opportunity to advocate for our schools at the state level. As school board representative on the CIF-San Diego Section’s Coordinating Council and the San Diego County Achievement Gap Task Force, I am able to give the SDUHSD perspective at the county level. It’s been my privilege and honor to serve on the SDUHSD board of trustees and I hope to continue to keep our students the #1 priority in the San Dieguito High School District.

property in Rancho Santa Fe, California,” she said. Craig closed the facility in May 2013 for financial reasons amid upheaval in the horse-racing industry nationwide. At the time, Inglewood’s Hollywood Park was approaching its fall season, and talk was that some of the races would be shifted to Del Mar after it closed. They ultimately were, and Del Mar hosts its second opening day this year on Nov. 7. Before it shut down, Craig’s horse ranch was being used as training grounds for top quality thoroughbreds, but mostly was known as a “layup” facility for horses to enjoy downtime and rehab from injuries. Craig had been trying to sell the property long before it closed. In 2010, she put it on the market for nearly $30 million. The price tag was reduced to almost $25 million before it was pulled off the Multiple Listing Service entirely in

Further, the Daily Mail reports that around that time Gates leased four elite jumping horses for $50,000 to $75,000 each for his daughter to train. Carl Hilliard, a former Del Mar City Councilman whose horses have competed at Del Mar, said it was a loss to the equestrian field when Craig closed the facility some years ago. “There are a number of training facilities, and they range from very good to not so good, and this was one of those that was very good,” said Hilliard, whose thoroughbred Johnny Eves won the 2007 Malibu Stakes at Santa Anita. “There’s a lot of hunter-jumper facilities in Rancho Santa Fe, so this is sort of a center for it.” Hilliard said his preference is for the facility to be used for thoroughbred training, but that would require a lot of work, such as enlarging the stables. Once known as Rancho del Rayo, the property originally belonged to former San Diego Chargers owner Gene Klein, who built it in 1985. The Craigs bought the facility in 1995 for $6 million, public records show. The $18 million sale price is among the highest secured in the county in 2014. A home at 420 Avenida Primavera in Del Mar sold for $22.9 million in June. Last year, the most expensive home sold in the county was at 1936 Ocean Front in Del Mar, which sold for $18.75 million. Michelle Silverman, a La Jolla-based Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway, said unique properties like Craig’s ranch command a higher price. “Estates like that are very hard to put a price on,” she said. “The fact that it will not be developed is a win for the community.” Craig also recently listed her home, at 2936 Ocean Front in Del Mar, for $39.5 million. That home is still on the market.

Solana Vista-Skyline annual Halloween Canyon Crest Academy’s ‘Zombie Carnival and benefit to be held Oct. 26 Prom’ pokes fun at ‘50s-era musicals •Festive ‘Ghost by the Coast’ event raises funds for Solana Beach Schools Foundation

Solana Beach’s 57th annual Halloween Carnival will be held from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 26, at Solana Vista Elementary School, 780 Santa Victoria. The Halloween Carnival features a wonderful array of games, activities and performances for children of all ages. Proceeds benefit the Solana Beach Schools Foundation and provide essential funding for science, technology, art and PE classes at Solana Vista and Skyline elementary schools. The very first Carnival was held on Halloween night in 1957 at Central School on Rios Avenue. “We wanted to keep the kids off the street on Halloween night,” said Joan Eichen, one of the original Carnival volunteers. That Carnival had a Cake Walk and a Haunted House, still favorites today. Although the Carnival has expanded over the decades, including the addition of a 52-foot obstacle course, giant Human Hamster Balls and a Silly String play area, the spirit that has brought the community together each year since 1957 remains unchanged. “It’s still a homemade, ‘old school’ carnival, with traditional games and activities,” said Shannon Kearns, one of the Carnival coordinators. “We even use students’ handdrawn artwork to advertise.” The Carnival continues to bring the community together year after year with its huge team of volunteer parents, students, teachers, staff and local organizations. SB Little League will be there clocking the Fast Pitch game, Friends of the Library hosts the Treasure Chest booth, SB Soccer Club has the Soccer Kick, TVIA volunteers with the Sling Shot, Boy Scout Pack 782 coordinates the recycling, and the Dad’s Club will be serving treats from their mobile Ice Cream Van. A live DJ will keep the party going. Everyone is encouraged to come dressed in his or her finest Halloween attire. The Costume Contest will be held at noon. Award categories include Cutest, Funniest, Scariest, Most Original and Best Group. Performances by the YMCA Expressions Dance Team, the AllStar Dance Troup and American Family Martial Arts will follow the Costume Contest. This year’s hot auction items include a Firewire Dominator Surfboard and a VIP day at Petco Park for four people to attend a Padres game with box seats and reserved parking. Other popular items include front-row seats for the Skyline Talent Show and the sixth-grade graduation ceremony. There are raffle prizes from Surf Ride, North Coast Rep, Jersey Mikes, Mor Furniture and Station Sushi, to name just a few of our generous sponsors. As always, there will be lots of great food

Costumes are encouraged at the Halloween Carnival, and awards will be given in several categories. donated by local restaurants, including Local Greens, Chief’s, California Pizza Kitchen, The Fish Market, Pizza Port, Subway, Bangkok Bay Thai, and Tony’s Jacal. Save some room for a few delectable items from the Bake Sale, generously made and donated by Solana Beach families. All are welcome (minus the family dog). Costumes are not required, but are encouraged. For volunteer and donation opportunities, visit http://www.solanabeachkids.org.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Instead of hitting the streets this Halloween, zombies are taking the stage at Canyon Crest Academy. For the first time, the Carmel Valley school’s Envision Theatre is presenting the musical “Zombie Prom,” beginning Oct. 24 through Nov. 1 at the Black Box Theatre. “It’s a very multi-layered show, with fun music and live dancing,” said Envision Theatre Coordinator Jeannine Marquie, who is directing the musical, with guest musical direction by Leigh Scarritt and guest choreography by Max Gidaley. “The talent is spectacular. We have some highly accomplished performers, so it will definitely not disappoint.” Written by John Dempsey and Dana Rowe, the girl-loves-ghoul OffBroadway musical is set in the 1950s at Enrico Fermi High. Although teen Jonny Warner is “transformed” when he encounters the local atomic waste dump, he still dreams of going to the senior prom. “This is one of the most fun shows I’ve done since I’ve been here,” said Canyon Crest Academy junior Kion Heidari, who portrays Jonny Warner. Like most of his fellow cast members, Kion was unfamiliar with “Zombie Prom” until Marquie introduced it to them. “It’s not the most famous of shows, but once I started looking into it, I discovered how cleverly written it was,” Kion said. “It’s one of my favorite musicals now.” As the new theater coordinator of Envision, Marquie looked for plays and musicals that would challenge her students. That’s why she decided to open the season with “Zombie Prom.” “I wanted something that hadn’t been done here and that they hadn’t even heard of before, so they could experience working on something new,” said Marquie, who first joined

Courtesy photo Canyon Crest Academy as a theater teacher in 2007, and later relocated to Orange County, where she worked at San Clemente High School and Irvine Valley College. She rejoined the Carmel Valley school this year. Although its Marquie’s 18th year as a teacher, it’s her first time working with the musical. After learning about the Off-Broadway show from friends, she purchased the album and “fell in love with it immediately.” “It’s goofy, and kitschy and fun,” Marquie said. “People don’t know how rich and wonderful it is as a musical.” With a selection of original ’50s-style songs, Canyon Crest Academy senior Julian Coker, who has several roles in the show, said the musical “provides lighthearted fun.” “It’s hilarious,” Julian said. “It does a great job at poking fun at the ‘Grease’ and ‘Hairspray’ era of musicals.” Having ended last season with Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” and “Les Misérables,” Canyon Crest Academy senior Emmy Farese agreed that “Zombie Prom” is a great way to kick off the season. “It’s so upbeat and fun, and a nice change compared to all the dramatic pieces we’ve done in our recent past,” added Emmy, who plays Ginger. “We really needed something upbeat.” With the show just a few weeks away, the 18-member cast is rehearsing most nights. Rehearsals, which began Sept. 11, are not only a time for the students to prepare for the show, but also a time to bond and get to know their new theater coordinator. “She has a lot of really great ideas,” Kion said. “She takes a lot of input from the cast and makes it a lot of fun.” “We’re all super close already, and it’s so much fun,” added Emmy. The public can see “Zombie Prom” Oct. 24-25, 30-31 and Nov. 1 at Canyon Crest Academy’s Black Box Theater, at 5951 Village Center Loop Road in Carmel Valley. Tickets cost $6-$8 for students and $13-$15 for adults. “We’re trying to make this show as professional as possible for a high school production,” Emmy said. “It’s really coming along very well, because we have such professional people who have so much experience teaching us. It’s not just going to be some high school show. It’s definitely a lot more than that. We have such a talented cast and crew who work together really well.” Tickets are available at https://www.vendini.com/ticketsoftware.html?t=tix&e=b19824d0ce4c0db0f5798d33e7f6 fb15.

On Wednesday, Oct. 15, he made his debut as a recurring judge on season 12 of Bravo’s “Top Chef,” and five days later, Food Network will premiere “Hungry Games,” a six-show series where Blais examines the science and psychology of food. The “Top Chef: All Stars” winner and new Del Mar resident opened his first San Diego restaurant last March in Little Italy, Juniper & Ivy, and he’s planning a second, more casual eatery in the space next door in six to eight months. A married father of two, Blais said his family has embraced their new Southern California lifestyle. His wife, Jazmin, teaches yoga at several local studios, and whenever he’s not traveling, Blais, 42, enjoys cooking for his family, foraging for wild herbs in his neighborhood and walking his daughter to school. In a recent phone interview while he commuted down I-5 in rush-hour traffic, Blais talked about his TV gigs, his new hometown and a few of the local restaurants he’s visited lately. Q: How did the “Top Chef” gig happen? A: A boy wishes some things and sits by his windowsill ... When I got the call, I was ready to do it. I love the franchise and I’m a fan of the show. There’s lots of talent, an interesting format, old friends and fierce competitors who come together in a royal rumble. Q: What’s it like behind the scenes judging with Tom Colicchio, Gail Simmons, Hugh Acheson and Padma Lakshmi?

A: Physically, it’s easier judging than competing. It’s really like the Thanksgiving table, where you’ve reached the age where you don’t have to sit at the kids’ table anymore and you can look your beautiful Aunt Padma in the face. These are people who have critiqued my food for so long that to sit next to them as a colleague on equal footing is interesting and intimidating. Q: This season, “Top Chef” moves to Boston. What can you say about it? A: As a native New Yorker, I’ve always found the food in Boston a special thing — the lobsters and clams and interesting seafood. Then there’s the history of Boston, where academia mixes with the bluecollar grind. Plus, there are so many great chefs there. Q: How is the talent among this season’s 16 contestants? A: As the show continues, the depth of the talent pool is greater. Q: If you were a young chef competing for the first time this season, how do you think you would

Top Chef winner Richard Blais in the kitchen of his restaurant Juniper & Ivy in Little Italy. EDUARDO CONTRERAS do? A: I’m a chef and have a tremendous ego, so I think I’d do OK. But definitely from a judge’s perspective, if I did it again, it might be a tougher run. Q: Your Food Network show, “Hungry Games,” seems to play on your food science/molecular gastronomy background. A: It’s a great fit for me. It’s a little more about food

psychology than food science. It’s a really interesting show and I’m excited I’ve got two premieres in one week. Q: Were the TV opportunities one reason you decided to move from Atlanta to San Diego this year? A: The idea was to move my family closer to L.A. or New York. Most of my work is still being done in New York, so in that way

I might not have made the best decision, but I love it here. Q: How are you enjoying the Del Mar lifestyle? A: I continue to be inspired by Southern California, the foraging, Mexico is so close, the weather is so great and everyone is in a fit state of mind. It’s changed the way I look at food.

‘Freud’s Last Session’ is with C.S. Lewis at North Coast Rep BY DIANA SAENGER Although famous for different reasons, Sigmund Freud (the Austrian father of psychoanalysis) and C.S. Lewis (British literary scholar and author of “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”) were intelligent, unique and made a mark on society. The North Coast Repertory Theatre presents an intriguing look at these personalities in the San Diego premiere of the two-actor play, “Freud’s Last Session,” writ- C.S. Lewis (Bruce Turk) gets a stern talking-to from ten by Mark St. German and Sigmund Freud (Michael Santo). AARON RUMLEY directed by David Ellenstein. It opened off-Broadway in 2011. When the drama begins, Freud (Michael Santo) is near the end of his life. To stir up some excitement, he invites C.S. Lewis (Bruce Turk) for a visit. He’s particularly annoyed because Lewis was once an atheist and is now professing to be a Christian. Santo (“Death of a Salesman,” “The Tempest,” “Tally’s Folly”) said he had always wanted to play Freud and was delighted when Ellenstein offered him the role. “Freud is a wonderful part,” Santo said. “He’s brilliant and composed, as both characters have to defend their positions in a very fun way. I know quite a bit about Lewis because I had a part in a play called ‘Shadowlands,’ about him and his relationship with Joy Davidman. She was an American poet who admired his work and went to England. They got married and this had him redefine his thoughts about faith. She ended up with cancer and died.” Freud invites Lewis over to find out why someone with his keen intelligence — who shared his convictions about not believing in God — would suddenly make an about-face and believe in something he once rejected. “I didn’t know much about Freud, with the exception of Montgomery Clift in the 1962 movie ‘Freud’ and the usual clichés people know about Freud,” Santo said. “To delve into his books is a major undertaking … there is a lot of dialogue in the play, and I started three months ago to learn it.” Freud was cantankerous, and at age 83, he developed oral cancer. He had a big prosthesis stuck in the roof of his mouth because of an operation on his upper jaw and palate, so he

was in a great deal of pain and spoke “funny.” “I do not wear a prosthesis in the play because it would be too hard to talk on stage,” Santo said. “However, when I think about the pain Freud was going through and that thing in his mouth … and if you see photographs … it gives you a queasy feeling in your stomach.” The two men mostly discuss the existence of God, and also love, war, religion, politics and life, as well as Freud’s immense collection of artifacts with religious connotations, which are strewn all over his desk. “That is one of the things Lewis asks about … why are there religious objects on his desk when he doesn’t believe in God?”

Santo said. “It’s wonderful to work with Bruce (‘Titus Andronicus,’ ‘Faded Glory’) as C. S. Lewis. We met in the mid-’80s in ‘Much Ado About Nothing’ at the Cincinnati Playhouse. He’s wonderful in the role. “Audiences will be engrossed in the discussion; it’s one that everyone has and that will never die. But it’s up to each theater-goer at the end to judge on their own terms who’s right or wrong.” “Freud’s Last Session” is on stage now through Nov. 9, at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Tickets from $37 at 858-481-1055 and northcoastrep.org.

Shabbat San Diego events coming to CV Shabbat San Diego will be held on Oct. 23-25. Shabbat San Diego is a movement that brings Jews in San Diego County together to observe a full traditional Shabbat together as a community. Each place of worship in San Diego will likely emphasize different aspects of Shabbat but, together, participants will create a day of togetherness and rest. The idea originated in South Africa last year to unite a diverse Jewish community. This year, 35 countries and 340 cities around the world are participating. On Thursday, Oct. 23, there will be a challah bread-making event at San Diego Jewish Academy at 6:30 p.m. Baking challah is a time-honored tradition and the hands-on workshop will include instruction on braiding techniques as well as the experience of preparing two oven-ready loaves from scratch. Ingredients will be provided and participants can take their braided dough home for baking. The event is free, although participants can consider a donation of $5 per challah. On Saturday, Oct. 25, there will be a communal, outdoor Havdalah service at Congregation Beth Am. The 7:30 p.m. service will include a celebration under the stars with light refreshments and music. The weekend includes Friday, Oct. 24, night services and Shabbat dinners at private homes and Saturday, Oct. 25, morning services. All events require registration for entry and participation.

Solana Beach California Pizza Kitchen in the Spotlight for Rotary Ethics Award The Rotary Club of Del Mar is pioneering a new program, the â&#x20AC;&#x153;4-Way Ethics in Business Awardsâ&#x20AC;?, to recognize and promote the businesses that share the same values that Rotarians uphold for honest, professional and moral service. Each week, Del Mar Rotarians gather for lunch and recite their â&#x20AC;&#x153;Four Way Testâ&#x20AC;? which includes the questions: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneďŹ cial for all concerned? But ďŹ nding a business that actually considered these types of questions in their daily decision making processes and practices can often seem rare. Each month the Del Mar Rotary Club will select one business to spotlight as part of the Ethics in Business Awards to acknowledge the good work of business applicants such as the Solana Beach California Pizza Kitchen. California Pizza Kitchen (CPK) is a leader in authentic California-style cuisine and is widely known for its innovative menu items, including signature hand-tossed and hearth-baked pizzas, imaginative salads, pastas, entrĂŠes, soups, sandwiches and hand-crafted cocktails. The newly reimagined Solana Beach location ďŹ rst opened in 1992 and has been active in the Solana Beach and neighboring communities since the beginning, supporting local organizations such as The Solana Beach Boys and Girls Club, local schools, and our troops at Camp Pendleton. Since 1985 when the California Pizza Kitchen restaurant opened, the company has been committed to serving the communities in which it serves. Each of its 205 restaurants nationwide, including Solana Beach, has found meaningful ways to give back through fundraising efforts. Over the years, California Pizza Kitchen has donated millions of dollars to various organizations and charities, including many that serve children in need. Additionally, under the leadership of CEO, GJ Hart, Inspired Acts was born in 2012. In March of this year, at our annual conference the company leadership (600 people) spent an Inspired Acts Day donating their time and services at San Onofre at Camp Pendleton to build cottages, clean parks, create baseball ďŹ elds in order to make a difference in the lives of our military and their families.

Phone (858) 597-1980 | Fax (858) 546-1106

The Del Mar Rotary club wants to thank California Pizza Kitchen for their participation and the awards program sponsors, Steigerwald-Dougherty Inc. and the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito, for their involvement, support and time to help promote ethical business in our community.

CCA ‘Meet the Principal’ event The Canyon Crest Academy Foundation sponsored a “Meet the Principal” event Oct. 10 at the Pacific Highlands Ranch Clubhouse. The event was held to provide parents with the opportunity to mingle with each other and chat with CCA administrators. Principal Karl Mueller, Assistant Principals Jeff Copeland and Bernard Steinberger, and Counselor Rebecca Vincent were all on hand to talk with both new and returning parents. CCA Foundation President Amy Caterina spoke to the crowd about the many ways in which the Foundation enhances the student experience for all CCA students. “In addition to providing enrichment experiences for students through Envision programs, Athletics and STEM programs, our FounCCA VP of Administration Janette Shelton, CCA dation has provided CCA with a full-time Yang Xiang, Gary and CCA Foundation board member Stella Rogers staffed College and Career Center. The College Foundation Executive Director Joanne Couvrette and Career Center is the only center in the district that employs a full-time professional college advisor. It is because of donations to the CCA Foundation that CCA is able to provide this service to its students. “ Vincent shared her enthusiasm for the College and Career Center as well. She mentioned that over 150 universities visit CCA each year seeking out its students because of the excellent reputation of the school. Mueller then talked about the variety of programs and activities that have been taking place on campus. “Just this past week, for example, we hosted a tour for prospective students and their parents. We took a group of parents on a tour to see all of the Prop AA improvements we are currently building and planning on campus. We had a master class taught by two-time Grammy Award winner Laurence Juber, a field hockey game, a Superintendent’s Forum, and a Comedy Sportz match.” DeRich and Amy Caterina, Randy Kay Susan Farese, Judy Susser-Travis spite the fact that CCA boasts a myriad of enrichment opportunities for students in arts, athletics, and sciences, the highest API score in the county, and ways for each student to find his or her passion within the school, Mueller is most proud of the culture on campus, and the support and encouragement each student is given by both fellow students and faculty. “Nobody is excluded at CCA. Every student is celebrated. “ The Canyon Crest Academy Foundation is a parent-let 501 (c) (3) organization providing fantastic opportunities across academics, athletics, and the arts, and creatCCA Foundation board ing an environment that enriches the expemembers Julia Yang rience of every student, every day.

Varicose Veins and Pregnancy With all the changes that a womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body goes through during pregnancy, varicose veins might seem like just one more in a long list of sacriďŹ ces. But understanding the cause of these veins and what you can do to prevent or minimize them, can go a long way in alleviating the pain and discomfort they cause. Causes Varicose veins are swollen veins that may bulge near the surface of the skin and are most likely to show up in your legs, although it is possible for them to appear elsewhere. They

may make your legs feel heavy, achy, and the nearby skin may itch, throb, or burn. While varicose veins are already more common among women than men, family history plays a role as well as pregnancy. In fact, they can become more common with each successive pregnancy and as you get older. Being overweight, carrying twins, and standing for long periods can also make you more susceptible. Veins are blood vessels that return blood from your extremities to your heart, so the blood in your leg veins are already working against gravity. When you are pregnant, the amount of blood in your body increases, adding to the burden on your veins. And while varicose veins tend to improve after pregnancy, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to suffer from their discomfort for nine months. There are measures you can take that will minimize

The graduated compression socks are even better as they are tight at the ankle and get looser as they go up the leg. This makes it easier for blood to ďŹ&#x201A;ow back up toward your heart. As I discussed in last monthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s column, varicose veins are not merely a cosmetic issue. They can be painful and can pose a danger to your health. With all the other discomforts that may come with pregnancy, you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to add one more to the list if there are things you can do about it. If you want to discuss further vein treatment or make an appointment, please contact us at 760-944-9263 or visit us at www.sdveininstitute.com.

Protect your bosom buddies: Breast Cancer Awareness month The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Here is a lineup of foods found to be the best arsenal against breast cancer. Cruciferous Cavalry The invincible crucifers like broccoli, cauliflower, turnip greens, kale, Brussels sprouts, bok choy, arugula, the heady cabbage, the pungent horseradish and its Asian cousin wasabi are packed with indole-3-carbinol, which has been found to fake out ravenous cancer cells by transforming estrogen (cancerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s food source) into a more diluted, less appetizing form. Recent studies coming

out of the Linus Pauling Institute have also shown that the phytochemical sulforaphane, contained in broccoli sprouts, a new super concentrated brassica, selectively seeks out and destroys the enemy without causing collateral damage to healthy cells. If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not enough, research in the U.S., Sweden and China establishes a strong link to higher rates of breast cancer and low cruciferous consumption. So crucifer up with a hearty helping of braised red cabbage, boy choy stir-fry, tangy broccoli slaw, a kale and quinoa chopped salad, balsamic glazed Brussels, and a heap of broccoli sprouts in wraps and on sandwiches and salads. One tablespoon of the latter has as much sulforaphane as contained in a pound of broccoli! Garlic Gladiators Belovedly nicknamed â&#x20AC;&#x153;the stinky rose,â&#x20AC;? garlic, especially in its raw form is packed with allicin, a potent sulfur compound that acts as a mighty shield against viruses, bacteria, inflammation, breast cancer cells and perhaps even the

occasional vampire. Mushroom Militia Formidable fungi, including Portobello, crimini, shiitake, maitake and reishi have a motherlode of immune boosting polysaccharides, along with lectin, a protein that keeps cancer cells at bay. Toss the mighty mushrooms into sauces, stews, soups, risottos, frittatas or sautĂŠed with a splash of white wine and savory herbs as a topping for everything from pasta and burgers to grilled fish and chicken. Omega-3 Heroes Wild-caught, cold-water fish (please, no bottom feeders) with a goodly store of anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids are another defensive weapon against breast cancer. You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t beat wild-caught salmon, sardines (with their Omega-3 and calcium-rich skin and bones intact), herring (pickled in wine, not cream) and anchovies. Seaweed and other oceanic veggies are also treasure-troves of nutrients, especially the fatty acid chlorophylone, to knock cancer cells off their feet.

Samurai Seeds For those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do fish, opt for seeds and nuts, another rich source of omega-3s. Flaxseed is wellknown as an excellent omega protector of healthy breasts, containing high levels of lignans and anti-inflammatory compounds. Pumpkin, sesame, sunflower and chia seeds also make the cut, along with nuts, especially almonds and walnuts. Folate Fighters Studies have linked high folate levels to a reduced risk of breast cancer by nearly 50 percent. Dial up those folate-rich foods, including hearty lentils, black beans and kidneys, leafy greens, especially romaine lettuce and spinach, oranges and asparagus. D-Day Vitamin D-rich foods are some of the best weapons against breast cancer foes. So amp up your immune system with organic eggs, wild-caught mackerel, salmon, sardines, herring, kippers, roe, cod liver oil (if you can stomach it), organic butter and D3-fortified breakfast cereals. And donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget a 15-minute daily

little more natural now. My wife is teaching yoga in a few places, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just started doing yoga myself. I havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t gotten on a surfboard yet, though, so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not entirely a cliche. But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more health-focused now. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m running the New York City marathon in November. Q: Juniper & Ivy, your restaurant with partner Mike Rosen, has been a tremendous success. (The U-T) recently named it San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2014 Restaurant of the Year. Are you surprised by how it has been embraced by the community? A: Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so grateful and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to be a part of the conversation. There are so many great chefs and good restaurants here, and there are new chefs popping up all over Little Italy. I think weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing a good job as one of the pioneering restaurants there. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m happy to be here and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m truly an enthusiast about whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on in San Diego. Q: How much time do you spend at Juniper & Ivy when youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not traveling for appearances?

Open Every Sunday in October Âˇ 1-4 pm 4534 La Orilla, RSF CA

A: This is my headquarters so the restaurant is where Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m spending most of my time. I wanted to make sure it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just some place with my name on the menu that I only visited twice a year. Q: What local restaurants have you eaten at lately? A: I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get out to other places much because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m at my restaurant or I cook at home. But I can tell you the last three places I ate â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Carnitas Snack Shack, which just opened in Del Mar. I had a great meal at Pamplemousse Grille, and I like both Davanti Enotecas. Q: What can you tell us about your next restaurant? A: Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re looking to open something within six to eight months. It will be next door to Juniper & Ivy because Mike bought the whole building. This one will be more casual. There may be a burger on the menu (Blais runs a chain of upscale burger outlets named FLIP in the South) but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not going to be a burger restaurant.
