conversations with their legal representative Procopio and the California Charter School Association, SOUL decided to decline the conditional approval option, leaving the board only the option to deny the application. “There were a variety of reasons

that went into this decision but essentially it would put us in a state of limbo without a clear path to opening,” SOUL co-founder Michael Grimes said. “The conditions were not measurable, quantifiable conditions that could be definitely met. The district could have easily

drawn out the process through April, preventing us from opening in 2017.” “It was an incredibly difficult decision in which we gave great thought and consideration. After weighing all outcomes and SEE CHARTER, A18

Solana Beach kicks off fundraising campaign for skate park project BY KRISTINA HOUCK Now that the city has kicked off a fundraising campaign for a skate park, the Solana Beach City Council plans to soon discuss how to fund the project. “This has been on our work plan for a number of years,” Councilwoman Lesa Heebner said at the Oct. 12 meeting. “We’re looking for a way to make this happen. There’s no question.” The skate part was first proposed as part of the planned renovations of the 3.79-acre La Colonia Park and Community Center. Van Dyke Landscape Architects produced a master plan and construction documents for the park and community center several years ago. Initially, the council intended to use funds from the city’s redevelopment agency to renovate the park and community center, including constructing the skate park, but Gov. Jerry Brown abolished redevelopment agencies in 2011. “We would have issued bonds, and through those bonds, paid for the park,” Mayor David Zito explained in an interview. “Those bonds would have been paid back through tax increments that we would have received through the SEE PARK, A18

DM council approves Superintendent’s contract extended by SB school board another moratorium on BY KRISTINA HOUCK After successfully leading Solana Beach School District since last year, the school board unanimously voted on Oct. 13 to extend Superintendent Terry Decker’s contract. “I want to thank you for a wonderful year and for hitting the ground running,” board president Vicki King said to Decker. Decker was selected as the district’s superintendent after former Superintendent Nancy Lynch returned to Northern California to serve as superintendent of Reed

Union School District. Decker previously served as the district’s assistant superintendent of instructional services. He started his new role in July 2015. His contract initially went through June 30, 2018. After receiving a satisfactory performance evaluation for his first year, the board opted to extend the agreement for an additional year until June 30, 2019. Decker receives an annual salary of $182,603. “I’m really happy that we’re able to extend SEE SUPE, A18

new short-term rentals

BY KRISTINA HOUCK With city staff needing more time to develop regulations, the Del Mar City Council voted unanimously on Oct. 17 to approve a new temporary moratorium on short-term vacation rentals. “I don’t want anybody to think that we haven’t been working hard on trying to reach a resolution, and I hope that we can reach one in the near future,” Councilman Don Mosier said. The council initially placed a 45-day temporary moratorium on short-term vacation rentals in April and later extended the moratorium for six months, enabling city staff to collect data, SEE RENTALS, A18

Self-motivated and hardworking, I spent my early career in real estate and mortgage banking. Community Involvement: A 20-year resident, I’ve volunteered extensively for our community. As a city commissioner serving on the View Assessment Commission, I have 11 years of experience working with Solana Beach Municipal Code making tough, informed, balanced, land-use decisions. On the board of directors of the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce I promoted our city and local businesses. I lead a successful utility undergrounding project. I serve on a San Diego County panel as Solana Beach’s appointed representative. 1. Why are you running for office?

What do you believe are the biggest issues facing Solana Beach? Several major residential and mixed use private redevelopment projects are currently in various stages of planning, so careful land use decisions are required to preserve neighborhood scale and character and to minimize negative citywide impacts. We must also develop a strong vision of providing steady, clean, and affordable future sources of energy and water if we are to sustain quality growth in the city. SEE HEGENAUER, A27

What do you believe are the biggest issues facing Solana Beach? Several issues are critical. Residents’ concerns about burglaries make crime prevention and public safety a top issue.

I think the biggest issue is: how do we maintain our quality of life and community character while facing several major redevelopment issues such as, but not limited to, the NCTD train station and the Dahlia/101 project. These developments will bring many positive aspects such as increased sales for our local businesses and replacing empty lots with new, aesthetically pleasing buildings to complement our Hwy 101 redevelopment. However, with the positive comes the reality of traffic, congestion, parking and public safety issues, and we need to plan for those. It is imperative that we seek out the surrounding neighborhood and citizen input as we progress through these projects so that all points of view are represented.

Maintaining fiscal discipline and healthy reserves to ensure stability in both good and lean economic times is crucial to ongoing success.

Former Ad/PR agency principal Benedict, Rubenstein, and Spicer Community Involvement: Currently on the City of Del Mar Finance Committee Jim 1. Why are you running for office? Benedict I have served on multiple Del Mar committees, including the Finance Committee. Serving the city by sitting on City Council just seems to be the logical progression for serving our community. 2. What do you believe are the biggest issues facing Del Mar? The most complicated – easy – short-term rentals, followed closely by the Design Review Board review process. Measure Q passing will need strong leadership to properly allocate these funds. 3. What are your thoughts on the two ballot initiatives: Measure Q and Measure R? Measure Q is a great way for visitors to help pay for services they use. Over 85 percent of our sales tax comes from visitors. Visitors use our lifeguard services, public safety services, road maintenance, and currently pay nearly nothing for these services. This is a fair and equitable way for visitors to help pay their fair share. I fully support prioritizing Measure Q funds to go toward 1) undergrounding all of our utilities, 2) funding upgrades at the Shores Park, and 3) improving our cityscape. Measure R is a disaster.

Name: Ellen “Ellie” Haviland Education: B.A., quantitative economics and decision science, minors in mathematics, urban studies and philosophy, University of California, San Diego PMP, Project Management Professional, Ellie Project Management Institute (PMI), USA Haviland Occupation: I devoted 17 years to my career as an executive in the health care industry. I am now retired. Community Involvement: Del Mar Planning Commission member 1. Why are you running for office? Del Mar has been my home for 18 years; it is a special community. We have beautiful beaches and climate, lots of open space, and an active, involved citizenry. As your city council member, I would utilize my education and experience to make prudent decisions on your behalf to manage the city’s resources wisely and address the issues that most concern our residents, consistent with our Community Plan. Working together, we can meet the challenges ahead. 2. What do you believe are the biggest issues facing Del Mar? Most residents I’ve spoken with want our neighborhoods protected from overdevelopment with safe, well-maintained streets. Our neighborhoods now feel the impacts from short-term rental businesses. Concerns over the vitality of our village commercial areas are widespread. Climate change presents near-term challenges. Public safety services can be improved. Our political discourse should be free of divisiveness and respectful of differences of opinion. SEE HAVILAND, A30

Community Involvement: 42 years in Sherryl Del Mar Parks 1. Why are you running for office? In my first term on City Council I led the planning and implementation of the downtown renaissance in Del Mar starting with city hall. I am running to ensure that as the pace of development grows, we retain the values captured in the Community Plan. The reason Del Mar property values are among the highest in the county is that developers’ values have not supplanted our Community Plan. Yet, economic renaissance must be part of our plan. 2. What do you believe are the biggest issues facing Del Mar? The biggest challenge facing our small city is to preserve the residential character of our neighborhoods while accommodating millions of visitors each year. I will continue to work to prohibit quick turn rentals in our neighborhoods, preserve safe beach access, improve our streets and sidewalks, and complete the new city hall as the cornerstone of a downtown renaissance. 3. What are your thoughts on the two ballot initiatives: Measure Q and Measure R? I am in favor of Measure Q to fund important infrastructure updates our neighborhoods need. Maintaining our beaches, regulating traffic and parking, and providing for the health and safety of our residents and SEE PARKS, A30

My first job was at the Del T. Pat Mar Fair. I went on to spend 19 years Stubbs marketing the Del Mar Racetrack and now co-own Pacifica Del Mar restaurant. I served over eight years as a member and chairman of Del Mar’s Design Review Board, including 12 months as its chair and 36 months as its vice chair. Currently, I am a Del Mar Foundation board member and chair of the Summer Twilight Concerts. I co-founded the Del Mar Village Association, and have served the boards of the Torrey Pines Foundation, the Boys and Girls Clubs of San Dieguito and the Rotary Club. 1. Why are you running for office? For nearly three decades, Del Mar has been governed by people who do not listen to residents or address their priorities. I am running because I want to bring impartial responsive leadership to our city, making sure every voice and concern is heard and respected. Together we can make decisions that will guide us toward a vibrant future. 2. What do you believe are the biggest issues facing Del Mar? We must honor our strong Community Plan and ensure its consistent and impartial enforcement to retain and encourage businesses and much-need improvements. We must make sure that our residents are safe, eliminate delayed law enforcement response times, and ensure that all solutions are economically feasible. We also must address SEE STUBBS, A30

Del Mar Mesa work day Nov. 5 honors local trail advocate BY KAREN BILLING The San Diego Mountain Bike Association, in collaboration with the city, is holding a Del Mar Mesa Tunnels Trail Work Day in honor of Brian Smith on Saturday, Nov. 5 from 8:30 a.m. to noon. Smith,“The Tunnels Guardian,” who took care to make the Tunnels one of San Diego’s favorite mountain biking spots, passed away in December 2015 at the age of 58 following traumatic brain injury complications from a mountain bike accident. An oak wood bench will be placed that day at the bottom of “Tunnel 4” in his memory. “I’m just excited to do this to honor him. He was an amazing person,” said his wife Fran Kennedy, who hopes the work day will become an annual event. Brian Smith was an avid outdoorsman and strong athlete, enjoying rock climbing and mountain biking. He was a PhD medicinal

chemist and drug inventor for Arena Pharmaceuticals, where he created the molecule for the weight loss drug Belviq. In 2002, the adventurous Brian and Fran, an Ironman triathlete, were married atop Half Dome in Yosemite. They had a wedding reception six weeks later at La Jolla Cove complete with a swim/run event for the guests in which all finishers got a medal. Smith loved having Deer Canyon in his backyard and in 2004 he started working on trails under the canyon’s scrub oak trees, previously used by migrant encampments in the area. The 25 miles of single track trails he created were known as The Tunnel trails. “He turned it into a really special place for a lot of riders,” Kennedy said. “He was very smart in the way he used the terrain.” The trail building was illegal and while the trails were much-loved, the Del Mar Mesa SEE TRAIL, A28

Fair board hears solutions for reopening Coast to Crest Trail segment

Parking relief, new eateries at Del Mar Highlands The all new, three-level parking structure is now open at Del Mar Highlands Town Center. Customers can enter off of Townsgate Drive at Kelsford Place near Cinepolis or from El Camino Real near Chevron and Casa Sol y Mar. The structure is located behind Urban Plates. The much-anticipated expansion and remodel of Cinepolis, which will feature 11 screens, an expanded food and drink menu and even more state-of-the-art luxury accommodations, is expected to open soon. Del Mar Highlands is also excited to announce several new restaurants that will be coming soon to the center: Pappalecco, an iconic Little Italy Tuscan-style Italian café; Pokewan, a fast-casual poke restaurant from the owners of Love Boat Sushi; and Grater Grilled Cheese, a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich shop with locations in La Jolla and Mission Valley. A new Del Mar Cleaners has also opened next to Rubio’s.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK The San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority presented potential solutions to reopen a portion of the Coast to Crest Trail during the Oct. 11 meeting of the board of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the state-owned Del Mar Fairgrounds. Following a January 2016 storm, bank erosion severed approximately 75 feet of the Coast to Crest Trail along the San Dieguito River at Del Mar Horsepark, west of El Camino Real Bridge. The segment helped complete about 45 miles of the planned 70 miles of the Coast to Crest Trail, which would extend from the ocean at Del Mar to the San Dieguito River’s source on Volcan Mountain near Julian. “Unfortunately, when we have instances like this, we take a few steps back,” said Kevin McKernan, executive director of San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority, the agency responsible for creating natural open space park in the San Dieguito River Valley. Committed to ensuring the

connectivity and sustainability of the Coast to Crest Trail, the JPA spent $5,000 to commission an initial study of bank stabilization alternatives that could meet the Coastal Commission’s permit conditions. The study, which was shared with 22nd DAA and Coastal Commission staff, evaluated site conditions and presented conceptual solutions “It’s not a full comprehensive study, but it does look at where the bank was and how it’s receded over time,” McKernan said. “It looks at the permit condition language and it tries to come up with a softer approach.” The project site is covered by a Coastal Development Permit, issued by the California Coastal Commission for the construction of the San Dieguito River Park’s Coast to Crest Trail extension through the Horsepark segment of the river valley. According to the report, the permit included special conditions that do not allow channelization or substantial alternation of a river or stream “to protect the development from flooding or erosion of the

riverbank.” The study included three different bank stabilization scenarios that the consultants believe fall within the limitations of the commission’s permit. Costs range from $138,000 to $354,000. The JPA further researched options for stabilizing the bank and crossing the bridge, which McKernan said is the most expensive portion of the project. Staff explored two alternatives, including using a railroad flatcar and a pre-fab pedestrian bridge. Railroad flatcars, McKernan said, come in fixed lengths and are more expensive. A pre-fab bridge, however, is less expensive and longer, and could safely span the gap. He added that the JPA needs to onbtain a new permit and funding. “Our priority is really getting the trail back connected,” McKernan said. “We get questions daily about it. A lot of people are interested in having a connection.” With board president Russ Penniman and board member David Watson absent, the board decided to discuss the matter at a later date.

Future of NFL in San Diego could ride on Nov. 8 vote BY JOE TASH On Nov. 8, voters will choose a new president, members of Congress, and, in California, decide if marijuana should be legalized for recreational use, and if the death penalty should be abolished or instead, streamlined and speeded up. Closer to home, city of San Diego residents will also decide on a ballot measure that could determine the future of professional football in the city. Measure C asks voters to approve a hike in the hotel tax to finance construction of a new $1.8 billion football stadium and convention center complex in downtown San Diego. To some, the best option for keeping the Chargers is to build a new stadium on the same property as Mission Valley's Qualcomm Stadium, the team's current home. "It's a real simple, common sense issue. Downtown, with the convention center and Petco Park and other businesses and attractions, is way too crowded to add a stadium," said Christian Clews, who owns and operates a Carmel Valley horse ranch, and also sits on the Carmel Valley Community Planning Group. Clews said he plans to vote against Measure C, even though he describes himself as a "die-hard Charger fan" and season ticket holder, because traffic, parking and other concerns make the downtown option "foolish." But another Carmel Valley resident, Mighty

1090 sports radio host Scott Kaplan, is convinced the downtown stadium plan is a good deal for the city, fans and the team, and plans to mark his ballot in favor of Measure C. "I consider myself a strong supporter of keeping the NFL in San Diego and bringing a world-class facility to San Diego to host events that it currently is not in line to get," said Kaplan, such as major conventions, concerts and even the Super Bowl. "I'm not pro-Charger in all this, I'm pro San Diego." Because Measure C calls for a hotel tax increase from 12.5 to 16.5 percent, City Attorney Jan Goldsmith has issued an opinion that a two-thirds majority is required for passage. A ruling in an unrelated, pending California Supreme Court case could mean that only a simple majority is needed. But absent that development, even supporters, such as Kaplan, concede that a two-thirds majority in support of Measure C is "a very low probability." Instead, they are hoping for a strong, 50-percent plus showing that would indicate support for keeping the team, and perhaps spur a new round of negotiations between the Chargers and the city. "It creates a pathway to some adult-like conversation between the Chargers and the city of San Diego," Kaplan said. Clews also wants the city to be able to host future Super Bowls and other major events, and he is convinced Mission Valley is the SEE NFL, A28

Solana Beach woman works to abolish California death penalty BY JOE TASH Kyle Wesendorf took a slightly unusual path to her current career as a vegetarian personal chef – before deciding to attend culinary school and take up cooking for a living, she worked in the legal field, specifically as an attorney handling the appeals of death row inmates. “It’s a weird resume,” said Wesendorf, who runs her own business, a personal chef service called Brio. Even though the 63-year-old Solana Beach resident no longer practices law, she hasn’t left her passionate opposition to the death penalty behind – earlier this year, she joined a cause near to her heart by enlisting as a volunteer for Prop. 62, a measure on California’s November ballot that will, if approved, abolish the death penalty in this state. “I’ve always been against the death penalty,” said Wesendorf, who retired from her legal career in 2003 after practicing in Illinois and California. “It’s my abiding passion. I feel very strongly it’s wrong. A great country

like ours should not be killing people.” Wesendorf is a member of the board of directors of the Yes on 62 committee. In that capacity, she has helped organize the campaign, from raising funds and gathering signatures, to getting the word out about the ballot measure. California voters last considered the death penalty question in 2012, when, by a margin of 52 to 48 percent, they rejected an initiative that would have replaced the death penalty with a maximum sentence of life without possibility of parole.

This time around, Wesendorf is optimistic that the outcome will be different, and that voters will abolish the death penalty in California. Prop. 62 also calls for the imposition of life without parole instead of capital punishment. Complicating things is a competing ballot measure, Prop. 66, which seeks to fix a broken death penalty system and speed up the process, streamlining appeals procedures and setting a five-year time limit for the completion of death penalty appeals. The last execution carried out in California was in 2006, due to legal issues surrounding the state’s lethal injection procedures. More than 700 inmates currently remain on death row in California. Among the reasons for abolishing the death penalty in California, said Wesendorf, are that it does not work as a deterrent, it is expensive (the state’s legislative analyst estimated that elimination of the death penalty will save SEE ACTIVIST, A28

M C C  O B’ D  B MiraCosta College is set to take a huge step forward in becoming among the first community colleges in California to offer a bachelor’s degree as it prepares to accept applications for its inaugural cohort of students. The biomanufacturing program is aimed at setting up students for stateof-the-art work in the thriving manufacturing sector of the biotechnology industry, including technical, quality assurance and quality control related positions. MiraCosta was among one of just 15 community colleges that in 2015 secured the green light from the California Community Colleges’ Board of Governors to host a pilot bachelor’s degree program in career technical fields. “This is an historic time not just for California’s community colleges, but also for MiraCosta College,” said MiraCosta College Superintendent/ President Sunny Cooke. Students who have already earned an associate degree and are applying to the new biomanufacturing baccalaureate degree program will be notified as early as next spring if they will be among the first cohort of up to 30 juniors to enroll in the fall of 2017, said Mike Fino, MiraCosta College dean of math and sciences, who is heading the program. The biomanufacturing degree builds upon the MiraCosta College’s existing Biotechnology Program, which already offers three certificates and one associate degree. Upper-division course work will comprise two primary areas of concentration: biomanufacturing science and technology and biomanufacturing quality. “The biomanufacturing baccalaureate program will help fulfill an unmet workforce need for the greater San Diego region,” said Dr. Cooke. “It builds

on an already exemplary Biotechnology Program and is responsive to the local need for trained manufacturing and production technicians in North County. Due to our location and our relationships with local biotechnology companies, MiraCosta College is uniquely positioned to meet this biotechnology workforce need.” According to the 2014 Talent Report on California Workforce Trends in the Life Science Industry, most positions in the biomanufacturing industry require a four-year degree, and manufacturing positions in biotechnology were second only to research and development hiring over the previous two years. Several biotechnology companies in the area supported MiraCosta College’s bachelor’s degree program – including Genentech, Gilead Sciences, Inc., and Thermo Fisher Scientific. “There’s no better statement of our commitment to being a conscientious community partner than offering this degree on behalf of our local industry to provide an unmatched educational experience that speaks directly to their workforce needs in biotech manufacturing,” said Fino, who noted the total tuition cost for the four-year bachelor of science degree will be about $10,000. The projected starting hourly wage of students completing the baccalaureate is nearly $23. Experienced workers advancing into management positions have the potential to earn an hourly wage of more than $59. “This is a remarkably worthy degree program that is industry-responsive with well paying, in-demand career paths within an industry segment that is one of the largest in the nation,” said Fino.

North County native ‘Big Nik’ building on social media superstardom BY ROB LEDONNE Three years ago, Nik Keswani (otherwise known by his moniker “Big Nik”) was just another high school student living in Del Mar and attending Torrey Pines High School. Born with dwarfism, Keswani has faced a variety of health setbacks throughout his life, finding himself in and out of upwards of 40 surgeries, one of them particularly grueling. “I had to get metal inserted into my hips and ankles because my bone was dissolving,” he said. “So I was in a wheelchair with nothing to do for almost a year.” Around this time, a brand new video sharing application dubbed Vine debuted for SEE BIG NIK, A29

North Coast Rep looks to build at Encinitas shopping center

BY BARBARA HENRY The award-winning North Coast Repertory Theatre company wants to move out of its small shopping center home in Solana Beach and build its own performance space on vacant land within the Encinitas Ranch shopping center. The group made its pitch last week to the Encinitas City Council, which has been waiting for years for the site to be developed. The weed-covered spot, which is tucked between a Chase bank branch and an Aaron Brothers Art & Framing business, has been the subject of at least six theater proposals in 20 years — none of which have ultimately panned out. Even North Coast Rep eyed the place more than a decade ago before turning to Solana Beach. The time for the Encinitas project is now, representatives of the group said. “Our vision for the future is to be a destination theater in Southern California with two state-of-the-art theater spaces and a thriving theater school,” said Steve Horine, the theater company’s development consultant.

Local man challenges community to positively impact veterans BY KRISTINA HOUCK Rick Collins knows first-hand the challenges veterans face when transitioning back into civilian life. The Del Mar resident launched Veterans 360 in 2011 after losing four friends, all members of the military. Two died in combat and two took their own lives. “That was the catalyst,” said Collins, founder and executive director of Veterans 360. The Del Mar-based nonprofit organization is a one-to one advocacy and support program for young veterans transitioning back into civilian life. Veterans 360 offers help through engagement, education, advocacy and healing. Collins aims to connect and engage with young veterans as early as possible in their transition process, in an effort to prevent homelessness, substance abuse and suicide. “We’re engaging young post-9/11 veterans,” Collins said. “They’re the most vulnerable. They’re the most at-risk. They’re struggling.” In recognition for his work in the community, Collins recently received the 10News Leadership Award. “Sometimes it’s good to be recognized for the sacrifices that we make,” said Collins, a veteran of the British military. “I’ve made a lot of sacrifices over the last five, six years myself. It’s just nice to be recognized for it.” On Veterans Day, Collins is launching a new campaign to connect the community with veterans: Carry the Challenge — One.

Carry The Challenge is a transition and post-traumatic stress disorder initiative of Veterans 360. Carry the Challenge — One will challenge people to positively impact a young veteran’s life. Whether hiring a veteran, buying a cup of coffee for a veteran or simply offering a hug to a veteran, Collins is not telling people how to participate, only to positively impact a veteran’s life. “It’s a program we want to go viral, but it’s a lot different from other campaigns,” Collins said. “It’s 100 percent positive.” In addition to positively Rick Collins engaging a young veteran or a family member of a veteran, Collins also asks that participants give them a Challenge Coin and encourage them to contact Veterans 360 if they need support with PTSD or transition challenges. “Asking for help is a sign of strength. It’s totally acceptable,” Collins said. “We’ve got to find a way to give a positive message to these young vets so that they understand there is no shortage of support,” he added. “That’s a complete myth. There are people all over this country ready and willing to help these young vets. But the stigma, the process, the challenges they have prevents them from getting help. Veterans 360 and Carry the Challenge’s role is to make it easy for them to get help.”

Emily Kogan, Taraneh Barjesteh and Nithya Krishnamurthy of the CCA Translational Science Club.

First annual CCA STEM Conference on Oct. 29

BY KAREN BILLING Canyon Crest Academy’s Translational Science Club is hosting the first annual CCA STEM Conference on Saturday, Oct. 29 from 9 a.m.-3:30 p.m. in the Proscenium Theater. The free event will be an opportunity for middle school and high school students to learn about different careers in STEM from doctors, researchers, engineers and more. CCA Translational Science Club juniors Nithya Krishnamurthy, Taraneh Barjesteh and Emily Kogan couldn’t help but notice how successful the CCA Writers Conference was in the spring and wanted to provide something similar for those interested in science, technology, math and engineering. Congressman Scott Peters, one of the event sponsors, is scheduled to kick off the conference by speaking on legislative policy that will promote STEM careers here in San Diego. “I’m excited about Congressman Peters getting out into the community and reaching a far larger base of people and getting people interested in STEM, which is our goal,” Emily said. The packed line-up for the day includes speakers Dr. Carolina Quayle of Li-COR Biosciences; Dr. Samuel Ward, a UC San Diego orthopedics professor; and Claire Remillard of SAP Software Solutions, who will host a panel discussion on technology and business. After a break, participants will hear from Dr. Sheila Rao of the Nomis Center for Immunology and Microbial Pathogenesis at the Salk Institute; Ana Sanchez and Dina Steinke from ID Analytics speaking on Women in Technology; Raj Krishnan, CEO of Biological Dynamics; as well as a presentation on the “Be the Match Bone Marrow Drive” with both a donor and a recipient. At the break between speakers, there will be booths from conference sponsor

Nothing Bundt Cakes, the Girls Who Code Club and the Caring for Cancer Club. Nithya not only founded the Translational Science Club last year, but also founded the Girls Who Code Club and Caring for Cancer Club, a group that raises funds to provide care packages for cancer patients in collaboration with the UCSD Moores Cancer Center. The girls have been working on putting this conference together since March. They admit it was a challenge to bring all of these talented speakers together but they worked every contact they had —Nithya was able to land Congressman Peters as she worked a former intern for him. At CCA, the Translational Science Club’s mission is to foster an interest in research and the applications of research in clinical medicine and other scientific fields. The club has collaborated together on a research project, but they have also all explored research fields on their own outside of school. Emily, club secretary, has done research during an internship with biotech company NuVasive, as well as shadowed doctors at Scripps; club treasurer Taraneh has worked in a lab at UCSD; and club president Nithya had an internship at Salk last year — her mentor, Dr. Rao, is one of the conference speakers. “Our goal after the conference is to get as many sophomores and freshmen involved in the club as we can so that after we graduate, the conference will be an ongoing event,” Taraneh said. “We hope to get all of the community’s support in this maiden venture which we hope will carry on for many years,” Nithya said. A voluntary contribution at the door will go toward the Caring for Cancer Club. While the event is free, RSVPs are recommended by Oct. 25 at ccascienceconference.weebly.com

FROM PARK, A1 redevelopment agency. When the economy tanked in 2008, one of the first things Gov. Brown did was get rid of all the redevelopment agencies, so that basically eliminated the funding.” With support from the community, the city moved forward with the construction of the Veterans Honor Courtyard at La Colonia Park, which was also first proposed as part of the planned renovations of the park and community center. The city received a $100,000 grant from San Diego County made possible by Supervisor Dave Roberts, a former member of the Solana Beach council. Solana Beach matched that with its own $100,000 grant. Spearheaded by former Mayor Tere Renteria, most of the rest of the money was raised through donor tile sales. The Veterans Honor Courtyard was dedicated in a ceremony last Memorial Day. “We’ve started to make progress on the plan by doing parts of it,” Zito said. The city launched a fundraising campaign for the skateboarding section of the approved master plan with “Skateboard Day at La Colonia Park” on Sunday, Oct. 9 at the park. The campaign began with a $5,000 skateboard park grant from the Tony Hawk Foundation back in 2010. “Great event,” Councilman Mike Nichols said at the council meeting. “I think about every single skater I spoke to was from

Solana Beach, so it was pretty well attended by local skaters, which was awesome.” Several local skateboarders thanked the council for originally approving the plan and encouraged them to move forward with the project. “On behalf of all the skateboarders in Solana Beach, I would like to thank you for approving the plan for putting a skate park in La Colonia,” said skateboarder Jake Hernandez, one of five local youth who spoke before the council in support of the skate park. “We just want that skate park to be built there so we can stay off the streets and have somewhere to go after school and not stay inside and stare at a TV screen all day.” Sven Haynie, father of two of the boys, also spoke in favor of the project. “I would like to support the effort to develop and build a skate park here,” said Haynie, a 15-year Solana Beach resident. “I hear other families strongly supporting this.” The master plan, Zito said, includes a detailed design of the skate park, which would be located at the northwest corner of the park. It would utilize some of the grassy area, but the city would also maintain a full-size soccer field, while the basketball court would be moved adjacent to the skate park. “The skate park includes some very traditional elements — bowls, ramps, rails,” Zito said. “It’s not fairly big. It’s significantly smaller than the one

FROM CHARTER, A1 possibilities, we are confident that we made the right choice,” Grimes said. SOUL will now begin the appeal process with the San Diego County Board of Education, where a charter has not been approved in years. Grimes said a lot will depend on how the county board election turns out in November but he believes the board is “finally on the verge of becoming pro-charter.” If not approved at the county, Grimes still believes SOUL has a chance to be approved at the state level. SDUHSD Interim Superintendent Eric Dill said the district’s findings and conditions were “quite lengthy.” Staff identified numerous areas of concern with the petition, particularly with respect to the educational program, the budget, lack of an appropriate facility, governance and other miscellaneous elements. As such they could not recommend an unconditional approval of the petition. “Nobody at all, from one end to another at this table, would question your passion, your interest and your desire to get this school going. I don’t think that is at question at all,” Dill told the applicants. “We did do a very thorough analysis of the petition and we feel that all of that is within the scope of what we’ve been asked to do.” Per the district’s report on the petition, SOUL presented an “unrealistic financial and operational plan”; noting: “They appear to

that was built in Encinitas, but of course, it’s a significantly smaller park area.” The council plans to soon discuss the city’s budget surplus, which could help support the project. At a previous council meeting, Zito explained the council talked about creating a dedicated fund for budget surpluses or planned contributions, in an effort to fund park improvements. “We can go after grant money as well, but usually it’s a lot easier to get that type of grant money if you have some matching funds,” Zito said. Supporters are already working with the Coastal Community Foundation to help raise funds for the skate park. For more information or to make a donation, visit http://coastalfoundation.org/ programs/solana-beachskatepark-fund. “Solana Beach has a huge population of skaters, and if you don’t provide a place for them to skate, they will skate on things that you don’t want them to,” Zito said. “You end up having to construct what I would call ugly counter-measures to protect the parts of infrastructure that you don’t want to be used by skating. “From that perspective, it’s very compelling to provide a skate park somewhere in order to provide for that outlet. It also turns into a great gathering place for kids to hang out in a safe environment and do something fun outdoors.”

lack the necessary background in education administration and leadership that is critical to effectively operate a charter school.” The district was looking for a more comprehensive and accurate list of start-up costs, competitive salaries and health benefits, costs of books and supplies and budgeted expenses that account for SOUL’s plan to provide musical instruments and cameras to students, after-school tutoring, monthly workshops for parent/guardians that are free of charge, such as yoga and cooking classes. In its curriculum offerings, the district wanted to see a more comprehensive description of the educational program. Concerns included how SOUL would address English learners and students with disabilities, key metrics used to monitor student progress, the extent to which the school would offer elective college prep courses such as world languages and visual-performing arts and an assurance that SOUL’s plan for course sequencing in math and science would be in alignment for students who may transfer from SOUL to a district school. Associate Superintendent of Educational Services Michael Grove said it was difficult to assess the educational component because he didn’t feel there was enough information in the petition to confidently say it would work. “When we read the findings, we were surprised,” Grimes said, noting there were elements of the findings that they

FROM RENTALS, A1 conduct further research, and craft land use and operational regulations for short-term rentals, while maintaining the status quo. Like the previously adopted moratorium, which is set to expire on Nov. 18, the new moratorium allows current short-term rentals to stay in operation, but new rentals can not open. Short-term rentals are not specifically permitted or prohibited in the city. Still, the practice has been going on for decades in Del Mar. Council members could not make a decision on how to regulate short-term rentals after another long discussion on the subject at the Sept. 19 meeting. Instead, they directed staff to find a consultant to help gather data on who is renting their homes, under what conditions, the frequency and the number of complaints. As a subcommittee, Deputy Mayor Terry Sinnott and Councilman Dwight Worden have worked since the June 20 council meeting to draft a set of

FROM SUPE, A1 your contract,” said board member Julie Union. “I just love how present you are in the schools and how much you care about meeting parents.” “You’re very child-centered and I think that’s a very important attribute for somebody who sits in a leadership position in our district,” added board vice president Debra Schade. Born in San Diego and raised on the East Coast, Decker has worked in education for more than 30 years, including two years at the San Diego County Office of Education.

understood and respected, however, some seemed to be “over-reaching.” Miles Durfee, managing regional director for California Charter Schools Association, said he was concerned that SDUHSD’s action of “conditional approval” is not consistent with the law. He encouraged the board to instead approve SOUL’s petition and resolve any issues through a memorandum of understanding. “Conditional authorization is not something that we made up,” Dill said, noting it is a structure used by other school districts and the district’s opinion is that it is both legal and sound. “We felt that there was enough there in our findings that it could warrant a denial, however, we thought that if we wanted to give SOUL an opportunity, a way to cure those deficiencies in the petition would be a conditional authorization.” Co-founder Marisa Bruyneel argued that she believes their petition was well-thought out, sound and comprehensive. Bruyneel said they have not deviated from the Common Core State Standards and all students would graduate prepared for college. She said SOUL’s core sequences and math program mirror that of San Dieguito’s to ensure transferability and that foreign language, visual arts and other college prep courses will be offered. With regard to special education and the needs of all learners, Bruyneel said that they have worked with experts in the field to create a program that thoroughly addresses the needs of all

regulations. The pair initially presented their proposal to the full council on Aug. 1 and further discussed in September whether to allow but regulate short-term rentals or prohibit them in residential zones. “We’ve been working very, very hard and we have been receiving good input from our legal staff and our own staff, so we’re narrowing things down to get to a point where a decision, hopefully, will come forward pretty quickly,” Sinnott said at the Oct. 17 meeting. “It’s very, very difficult, but I think we are making some good progress toward finalizing something.” Under state law, the new moratorium is effective for 45 days. The council can later decide to extend the moratorium for an additional year and 135 days, as state law allows a total consecutive moratorium time of two years. “I’m going to support this, but I wanted to go on record that I think we’re getting to the point where council needs to make a decision on this,” Worden said. “It’s tearing us up, it’s tearing the staff up, it’s tearing the community up.” Decker, who began his career as a teacher, holds a bachelor’s degree in elementary education from West Chester University of Pennsylvania and a master’s degree in educational administration from San Diego State University. He joined the Solana Beach School Board as director of instruction in 2012 and was promoted to assistant superintendent the following year. “I am honored to be the superintendent of this school district,” Decker said. “Every day the 3,100 children come to this school district they get a remarkable education.”

students. “We have provided countless reasons to approve us,” Bruyneel said. “Saying yes to SOUL is saying yes to possibility, to opportunity, innovation and collaboration. It would be a great disservice to deny an entire community of their right to choose an amazing educational option.” Tom Nichols, from the Charter School Management Corporation, the back-office service provider for charter schools, also responded to questions about the budget and said he was confident in SOUL’s ability to succeed. Besides the financial component, the board members’ largest concerns were the educational curriculum. They voted unanimously to deny (with trustee John Salazar absent) as it was their only option. “There’s 10 pages of items that are concerning,” said SDUHSD President Beth Hergesheimer. “We heard from you things you think can solve but that leaves a lot of questions still for me…I’m not comfortable if we can’t put conditions on (an approval).” Despite the denial, the SOUL co-founders will carry on — as Bruyneel said, it has become her life’s work to open a school that creates a new educational paradigm. “With a team like ours that has heart, passion, discipline and extensive experience, we will succeed. That is a guarantee,” she told the board. “Next year, when we open our doors, we hope you’ll be standing with us in unity.”

Prep Football

Falcons upset Pirates BY WALTER BAYS Torrey Pines upset last year's division 1 champion Oceanside 32-28. Sophomore quarterback Jason Heine made his debut, rotating with sophomore Miles Hastings enhancing the Falcons ground game, with Luke Duerr up the middle, Sully O'Brien sweeping the outside, or Heine carrying, with Ty Helfrich and Gabe Gmyr also making big gains. Oceanside's first drive stalled on a sack by Kevin Misak. Andre Mieiers made a good punt return, the first of many of the night for the fleet sure-handed senior. The teams traded punts. Penalties put the Falcons 2nd and 20 but Hastings passed to Michael Gadinas for 22 yards, and Heine ran it in for the touchdown. Torrey Pines 6-0. The Pirates came right back with a big kickoff return and a balanced attack to take the lead 7-6. Again Torrey Pines potent running attack tore through the Oceanside defense as they marched 80 yards capped by a 17-yard run by Heine to retake the lead 13-7. Oceanside was thwarted on a third down pass play covered by Johnny Hastings. Their punt fell at the 5 but Mieiers fought free of a tacklers to bring it to the 15. Torrey Pines marched all the way downfield to inches from the goal line, but penalties forced them to settle for a field goal by Nino Alworth, extending their lead to 16-7. Oceanside took over with 9 seconds remaining and the half ended on a sack by

Jacob Schneider. In the second half, Torrey Pines fumbled a high punt snap, Oceanside took over on the Falcon 7 and narrowed the score to 16-14. Mieiers returned the kickoff 20 yards and the Falcons moved it on the ground. A fumble nearly ended the drive but an alert Brian Minarik recovered, and O'Brien made it 23-14. Oceanside pitched to a running back who threw a long pass downfield to come within two, 23-21. Another bad punt snap gave Oceanside the ball on the Falcon 29 and a quick pass gave them the lead 28-23. Mieiers received the kickoff on the 2 and slipped tackles to carry to the 45. Gadinas seemingly caught a touchdown pass, nullified by penalty. On 2nd and 25, O'Brien carried to near the goal line but penalties pushed it back and again the Falcons took a field goal closing to 28-26. With 6:38 remaining and a two-point lead, Oceanside was driving when Mieiers intercepted near the 35 and ran back to the Pirate 2. O'Brien scored the touchdown but an attempted two-point conversion failed and the score was 32-28. Oceanside drove from their 20 to fourth down near midfield, converted, and drove to first and goal at the 9 with 50 seconds remaining. A pass was almost intercepted by Carsen Gentes. Then a fumble was recovered by Yujay Kurosu and run back to the Pirate 24, where Torrey Pines ran out the clock for the win. Torrey Pines hosts Carlsbad on Oct. 21.

FROM COCHRANE, A4 innovative and global thinkers is an excellent goal. My 20+ year career in education and expertise in educational technology can help put that vision into action. Utilization of a Learning Management System (LMS) would significantly improve teaching and learning, and I have the knowledge and experience to help overcome the obstacles to successful implementation of a quality curriculum in an LMS. Improved student outcomes in the Special Education program would be achieved by putting a greater focus on early, therapeutic interventions by addressing the underlying causes of certain “disabilities” that would lessen or eliminate the learning challenges altogether, rather than merely making classroom accommodations and modifying the curriculum. 2. How would you propose to address those issues? Since the district has already purchased a Learning Management System (LMS), the next step is capitalizing on this investment by fully implementing it across all classrooms, propelling students into learning and technological environments that they will be facing in college and in future careers. I regularly train teachers on

We keep a healthy reserve balance so that, even in a downturn, we can preserve low class sizes and retain our highly-trained teachers. 3.

Sunday service times are 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. how to effectively implement LMS’s into their instruction, using this powerful educational tool to increase student learning. School special education providers can be trained in early therapeutic interventions. Current research on neuroplasticity shows that our brains are malleable and that cognitive dysfunctions can be lessened by rewiring the brain through early therapeutic interventions. This translates into fewer long-term services and more effective student outcomes. 3. Do you agree with the way the Del Mar Union School District operates? If not, what changes do you think need to be made. The district, as a whole, is functioning well. I believe it would benefit the community to have someone with a life-long career in education sit on their governing board, since none of the current board members have this kind of extensive expertise in education. It makes sense that a school board should have a governing board member who is a credentialed teacher and regularly works in schools and with teachers. While my opponents are both quality people, they offer similar skills sets and do not offer the strong educational background that I have which would most benefit all the children in this district. teachers, parents and community members. We are laser focused on priorities like expansion of our science curriculum, unparalleled teacher training, the rollout of the PowerSchool learning management system, and technology tools in the classroom. We offer wide-ranging and comprehensive special education services to ensure that every child can realize his or her potential.

largely an energy conservation aim meant to “encourage” early industry compliance, it will develop into a mandate. So it always goes in California. Four short years is all that’s left to plan for the absorption of the cost implications of NZE for our housing markets. As you would expect, NZE does not come cheap. In San Diego, NZE will add as much as $45,000 per unit in new home construction costs (*). “Housing people affordably must be as important as keeping the environment healthy. Now there is a balancing act our politicians should truly follow!” When enacted, NZE will further affect the already constrained construction of critically-needed workforce housing. The few pioneering communities currently selling NZE-compliant homes show listings at price tags well north of anything remotely affordably priced. All things not being equal, it’s a false premise that over time costs will come down as NZE’s volume application goes up! What volume and where? Higher housing volume and favorable housing

politics remain foreign concepts in our State. By any national green standard, new homes built in California are the most energy-efficient homes in the nation, if not the world. They are also unequaled in efficient water use. Solar, a major functional component of NZE already shows up in many neighborhoods. It does so as a voluntary incentive-driven action (i.e. through rebates) by owners of existing, less energy-efficient homes. That is precisely as it should be. So, what’s behind the push for NZE application to all new homes? Well, it’s a core tenet of California’s goal to be a global leader on Climate Action. Yet today, a mandatory application of all-solar meets two challenges. One is that subdivision layouts, infill or otherwise, do not favor a maximized rooftop sun exposure to power an entire single family detached community. This creates NZE winners and losers and requires acres of costly land taken up with extra compensating solar panels. Will the losers have to bet on non-existing technology to bail them out? The other mega hiccup is that the solar application for Multi-Family attached housing depends on

having access to a massive array of solar panels. Most Multi-Family “rooftops” are too small to allow for solar to juice up an entire building. All other green energy applications, like micro grids, are still in the infant stages of development. Hence, achieving “Net Zero” will be tough. The Net Zero Energy Website F.A.Q. portion states in part: “California’s homeowners will pay less for energy – money they can spend for necessities.” That would also include a much higher NZE-related uptick in the mortgage or rent payment! Given that these new compliant homes will largely be high-priced single-family detached units, which already sell in small numbers, how will NZE save our planet? It’s about time our policy makers understand that the housing cost crisis they helped create is going to materially worsen if and when NZE becomes law. With California already leading the nation on all things environmental, let’s give it a break folks. * NZE compliance cost after rebates for a San Diego inland-region SFR production house. It includes high density attic insulation, upgraded air sealing, HVAC and argon gas windows and whole house LED lighting, a solar PV system and solar water heater.

OUR READERS WRITE City of Del Mar Police Department There are many Del Mar residents that believes that the city could go bankrupt if we established our own police department. The concern is the potential liability should a tragic event occur in the city, but many are unaware that our Ranger currently is carrying a firearm which the city carries liability insurance for, if such an unlikely event should happen and, luckily, nothing to date has occurred in the history of the city. There are those in the community that believe that the estimated startup costs for the city PD would exceed $2 million when the professional consultants overly inflated estimate was approximately $1 million with a majority of those cost being for the purchase of long-term assets (vehicles, firearms, computer, office furniture, etc) needed in forming a PD. Many residents fear that the city staff would be increased by 40 percent by having a city PD when, according to the consultant’s report, administrative staff is already included in their estimated budget. The 4-year study by the finance committee concluded that increasing the size of the Ranger program, which only services the parks and beaches, would mean leaving the rest of the city with no services. The committee also addressed the use of the Sheriff Department Community Service Officers (CSO) but they could not guarantee a CSO for our city’s exclusive use. The cost of using the Sheriff’s CSO service was estimated to be double the cost of hiring our own CSO and the Sheriff refused to have our own CSO to assist with report writing for the long waiting times on priority 3-and 4-type calls. In May the city council unanimously approved having city staff prepare an implementation plan and have the finance committee conduct a community outreach on forming a city PD. That report by staff is expected in November. The bottom line is that the consultant’s estimated cost of a city PD would be similar to what is currently paid to the Sheriff but the the service level for the issues that concern the community would be dramatically improved , including response times, community policing (knowing the officers) and city control, which isn’t available with the Sheriff.

Let’s get the facts first about the CCA I have read letters and heard oral communications from Solana Beach residents railing against the City Council for exploring the option of Community Choice Aggregation (CCA) in Solana Beach. When did fact-gathering become a bad idea? Community Choice Aggregation enables residents to choose how their electricity is generated. The current electricity provider – in

our case, SDG&E – will continue providing transmission and distribution services. Take a look at your current SDG&E bill. You will see that the source of your energy comes from a combination of coal, natural gas, hydroelectric, wind and solar sources. How that combination breaks down – i.e., what percentage comes from coal, what percentage comes from natural gas, etc. –is determined by SDG&E. Community Choice Aggregation allows individual consumers to choose the composition of how their electricity is generated and provides options for cleaner and potentially less expensive energy. CCAs have been successfully implemented in many parts of the country and across California – in large cities, small cities and rural areas alike. In fact, as was clearly stated in the Oct. 12 City Council meeting, 70 percent of California's entire electricity load is either participating in or exploring the option of Community Choice Aggregation. If the City Council ultimately determines a CCA will benefit Solana Beach, residents and businesses may opt out. Moreover, the City Council has made it abundantly clear on multiple occasions that we are only in the exploratory phase. There is no imminent decision on the CCA. The cost to the City for obtaining an exploratory CCA report is negligible. Finally, the City Council will engage in extensive community outreach and public forums before reaching a decision. Apparently, some residents have already made up their minds and are against a CCA before they even have relevant information. I learned in high school that competition is good and monopolies are bad. The Solana Beach City Council is doing the prudent, fiscally responsible thing by studying the benefits, costs and impacts of forming a CCA for Solana Beach. Robert Glatts Solana Beach

Jefferson would be proud I was able to attend the candidate forum at the Boys & Girls Club of Solana Beach. It was well-attended. Jefferson would be happy as he was concerned about an uninformed electorate. Before you vote read the State of California Proposition and candidate information. Go to candidates' websites. Vote for the one who best represents you. Mark A. Peter Solana Beach

Message for Measure R opponents Although few in numbers the opponents get top billing and center stage in the Sandpiper publication, endlessly. Their constant repetitious messaging of the same misinformation and incorrect flawed facts are astonishing. Whether due to reckless disregard for the truth or intentional, it is tantamount to scare tactics campaigning. Their

intention to unsettle the sincere and concerned citizens of Del Mar, causing them to vote against gaining their right to vote when a major property development could cause significant change to our Community Plan and zoning laws, is a shame. Opponents to Measure R seem to receive their information from the same source and are constantly exclaiming and arguing that Measure R is a similar right to vote initiative like Prop. A in Encinitas, which was passed years ago. Additionally, they insist Del Mar will also be inundated with hundreds of thousands of dollars of litigation defense costs like Prop. A in Encinitas has been subjected to. Again, not true - totally false! Encinitas Prop. A right to vote law has never been litigated! This fact has been substantiated by the legal firm of Délano and Délano who drafted Prop. A. In conclusion, we request the opponents of Measure R to reach for a higher standard of care for the truth and formally apologize to our community - our good citizens, and explain their lack of concern for the truth as opposed to their mission to cause Measure R - our right to vote, to fail.

SDUHSD schools consistently among the best in the nation As a past president of the Solana Beach School Board and current homeowner within the San Dieguito Union High School District, I may have more than a passing interest in the quality of the local public schools. So it is with great dismay that I have read recent columns by self-described education expert Marsha Sutton and letters to the editor by current candidates running for the school board (though not identified as such by the Del Mar Times). Their agenda seems to be to trash the public schools, regardless of the facts. It is a shame that the national political climate has filtered down to what are nonpartisan local races. But it has. We all look forward to reading the local papers, whether they are the Del Mar Times, the Carmel Valley News, the Rancho Santa Fe Review or the Solana Beach Sun. We read them because it is the only place to learn about local issues. However, to read the pages of this newspaper over the last month, an outsider would think that our schools were sliding down a path to financial and educational ruin. Nothing could be further from the truth. Last week, Eric Dill, interim superintendent of the San Dieguito Union High School District, reminded the community that the San Dieguito Union High School District receives less money per pupil than all of the feeder elementary schools. Yet within these fiscal constraints the district has consistently provided schools that are among the best public schools in California and the nation. The district has added and upgraded facilities, provided schools of choice to meet the needs of all children, attracted the SEE LETTERS, A30

of life. Experienced in land-use, independently minded, and fiscally conservative, I have the professional skills necessary to uphold sound financial practices, encourage new businesses and bring a fresh approach to City Council. 2. What do you believe are the biggest issues facing Solana Beach? Ensuring residents’ and our City Council’s discretionary rights to shape development projects so they enrich and fit our community, add to our quality of life, and boost property values. Augmenting the city’s fiscal stability by seeking new sources of revenue, building reserves, expanding our operating surplus, and continuing to grow a thriving business community. Improving public safety, neighborhoods, our parks and pathways, and city processes. Protecting natural resources and meeting state-mandated climate action goals. 3. If elected to council, what is one issue or project that you would like to try and tackle? With many large projects anticipated, the next few years will shape our city’s future character. Managing the often conflicting goals of new development and concerns of existing neighborhoods requires skill and experience. The pending train station project is especially promising. If carefully developed it will enrich our community and boost our economy. The ability to strike the right balance by mitigating impacts such as parking and traffic, while addressing compatibility with surrounding neighborhoods is essential. 4. What will you do to help improve the lives of your constituents? Among other things, I promise to listen, respect others’ opinions, increase accountability and promote greater community outreach. I will advocate for thoughtful, responsible growth, uphold sound financial practices, and encourage new businesses. I will promote public safety, and champion safer trails and pathways for pedestrians, strollers and bicycles. I’ll work with impacted neighborhoods to advance long delayed capital improvements and strive to obtain funding to build-out the master-planned La Colonia Community Center and Park. 5. Tell voters something interesting about yourself. Moved by Hurricane Katrina’s devastation in 2005, I took a sabbatical to volunteer with the American Red Cross. When “Rita” hit Texas forcing waves of survivors west, I agreed to stay and assumed the role of staffing supervisor for ARC’s Family Assistance Center. Then came Wilma, the third Category 5 hurricane of the season. I was asked to join the staffing go-team and spent a month in Florida helping manage the deployment of ~5K volunteers.

3. If elected to council, what is one issue or project that you would like to try and tackle? My years of environmental work with the city has sold me on the many benefits of developing renewable energy sources for the future. Community Choice Energy (CCE) is a program that offers cheaper electric rates and cleaner electricity generation, just at a time when cities across California are struggling to achieve state-mandated emissions reduction goals. I want to press forward with the city’s ongoing assessment of CCE’s risks and benefits to see if it makes sense for our citizens, businesses, and even wider region. 4. What will you do to help improve the lives of your constituents? I plan to keep Solana Beach livable, walkable, drivable, and parkable by carefully reviewing all land use decisions to make sure our citizens, businesses, and neighborhoods get the best deal possible from redevelopment proposals. The health of our children and grandchildren also depends on improving air quality, which is beginning to suffer once again because of increased traffic and lack of transit solutions in San Diego. We must keep the pressure on our officials and institutions to do more to reduce emissions of all types in our region. 5. Tell voters something interesting about yourself. I have many passions, including weaving (and running my textile arts business), practicing Judo (I’m a 2nd degree black belt), and ballroom dancing with my husband. I have become an ardent whale watcher and advocate after my first kiss by a gray whale in a Baja lagoon last Spring.

department with quarterly ride alongs to gain firsthand knowledge through the eyes of the Sheriff’s deputies. 4. What will you do to help improve the lives of your constituents? Help reduce crime by improving the neighborhood watch program and by establishing an effective Public Safety Commission. I’d also work with the Sheriff’s department to increase patrols and keep our neighborhoods safe. Additionally, I will continue my door to door outreach and hold two town halls so that constituents have greater input and insight to council actions. 5. Tell voters something interesting about yourself. I’m a nationally-ranked Master’s swimmer and I really enjoy the friendly competition and camaraderie of the Master’s swim meets.

FROM SIEGEL, A3 sense of community. We had parades, ball games, talent shows, and enjoyed a song celebrating Ft. Collins; a song just as meaningful to our citizens as are city songs celebrating New York, Chicago, San Francisco, etc. I’d like to promote a similar sense of community here in Solana Beach with events we can call our own. I’d like to see us know more of our neighbors, and be proud to be citizens of a great place to share. 2. What do you believe are the biggest issues facing Solana Beach? Those of us who have lived here for a long time can only marvel at what Solana

FROM WALSH, A3 3. If elected to council, what is one issue or project you would like to try and tackle? I believe our city needs to have a Public Safety Commission. The current City Council disbanded the Public Safety Commission last August after 17 years of service. Ensuring the safety of our citizens should be a priority of our City Council. I think we need to examine why the previous Public Safety Commission was ineffective and how we can create a commission that will redefined it’s role and help keep our citizens and neighborhoods safe. 4. What will you do to help improve the lives of your constituents? I will build a strong working relationship between the City Council and our citizens to increase communication and transparency. I will work to ensure that citizens have input and the right to vote on important issues such as the CCA, which affects every household and business in Solana Beach. I will support local businesses so they can thrive and contribute to our economy. I will responsibly preserve our environment, quality of life and the unique charm of Solana Beach. 5. Tell voters something interesting about yourself. I am so blessed to have the life that I have and I feel passionately about giving back to those who need our help. Volunteering has been a major part of my life for many years. Did you know that the majority of girls in developing countries don’t get more than a sixth grade education? Through my work with Friends of the Poor Africa, our group has built the Kupiec Academy for Girls in Nigeria which educates both Muslim and Christian girls, under one roof, grades 7 through 12.

Beach has become. Our way of life and community character has not only been protected, but greatly enhanced. Perhaps our greatest challenge is to maintain and protect both what we already have and keep our town on track. Problems arise, and with wisdom and luck, they will be resolved to the satisfaction of our community. I believe I have the experience and wisdom to safeguard what is important to us. 3. If elected to council, what is one issue or project that you would like to try and tackle? I’m eager to see that projects such as the train station renovation become a true asset to the community without caving into special interests. The same goes for the

FROM ZITO, A3 serving developments to progress while protecting our quality of life is an area in which I have a proven track record. We also need to complete and fund our long term Army Corps Shoreline Protection project to ensure we have healthy beaches for years to come. 3. If elected to council, what is one issue or project that you would like to try and tackle? There are so many important efforts underway, but my passion is active transportation. We have taken great strides to improve our bicycle and pedestrian facilities, but there is much left to do. We have plans to build sidewalks and bike lanes along all of Stevens Avenue as well as build a railway undercrossing at the San Elijo Lagoon. I will work to see these completed and advocate for many others for the safety of our residents and school children. 4. What will you do to help improve the lives of your constituents? My most important focus on council is to provide our residents and businesses top-notch public services with our Sheriff, Fire, and city departments. We have great staff but I am always looking for improvements to create a safer, more efficient environment. I will also continue to pursue public improvement projects such as ensuring safe roads, available beach access, and enhancements to our parks and other public facilities. 5. Tell voters something interesting about yourself. I believe of “interest” are the many accomplishments completed during my first term, such as the La Colonia Veterans Honor Courtyard, beach access stairway repairs, Highway 101 improvements, expansion of our recycled water infrastructure, and a new entry monument at Lomas Santa Fe and Highland. However, a little known “fun fact” about myself is that I do have musical inclinations and played the trombone for many years, even performing internationally in a jazz band.

development of the Harbaugh Seaside Trails area. I’d definitely like to see our city hall, “the people’s home,” become a friendlier place by adding more cultural uses, such as intimate lectures and performances in our ample council chambers. 4. What will you do to help improve the lives of your constituents? Except for their friends, our City Council has become stagnant, imperious, and patronizing. By listening to and become acquainted with our citizens, I want to promote a greater sense of community. I’d like to offer even more community oriented events. Of course, it goes without saying that we all want to maintain and improve our city streets, police and fire protection, as well

as maintain and improve our schools and child safety. 5. Tell voters some things interesting about yourself. I am outgoing, have a sense of humor, and love life. I was born with a talent at the piano that baffles me and everyone else. I’ve travelled independently through over 85 countries and have an appreciation of different cultures. Given my medical school training (where I handled emergencies, delivered babies, performed surgeries, etc.), I am prepared to be a “quick learner” who can do the best for Solana Beach. Learn more about me at votefored.org and watch for announcements telling you where we can meet.

FROM NFL, A11 place to do it. He agrees with Kaplan and many others in town that the existing stadium is past its prime, though, and should be replaced with a state-of-the-art venue. "We have the ability to host all of (those events) in Mission Valley with minimal impact to surrounding businesses and residences," Clews said. "Downtown, the negative impacts outweigh the benefits." For Clews, one strike against the downtown plan would be the elimination of a large parking area around the stadium, spelling the end of a cherished tradition - pre-game tailgate parties. "Why would we give up one of the great aspects of the game?" he said. He was unimpressed by the potential of San Diego Bay views from the new stadium's seats. "The only view I care about is 100 yards long and green with white stripes on it." Kaplan, though, points to a corollary benefit of locating the new stadium downtown, in

addition to keeping the Chargers and creating a new top-flight venue for major events: freeing up the Mission Valley land now occupied by Qualcomm Stadium for an expansion of either San Diego State University or UC San Diego. Either would provide major economic benefits to the city, he said. According to the Measure C ballot language, the Chargers have estimated the total price tag for the downtown stadium and convention center would be $1.8 million. Of that amount, the team and the NFL would contribute $650 million. The city would sell bonds to pay the rest of the costs, and cover annual debt service through the estimated $100 million per year generated by the hotel tax increase. The annual tax increase would also cover ongoing maintenance and operations costs for the stadium, which would seat 65,000 fans and be expandable to 75,000 seats. Under the measure, the Chargers would commit to playing in the new stadium, which would be located within a 10-block area east of Petco Park, for 30 years.

FROM TRAIL, A8 Preserve trails were closed by the city in 2008. After a lengthy seven-year process, San Diego City Council approved a resource management plan for the mesa in 2015, opening 7.9 miles of trails while restoring 13.3 miles of illegally created paths. Many of the sanctioned trails use the original names Smith called them, including the Tunnels, Cardiac Hill, Zig Zag and Rocking Horse. Kennedy and Smith’s lives changed forever on Nov. 5, 2010. Smith was riding on a jump trail in the canyon when he landed badly off a launch—his sternum broke and he ruptured his aorta. After heart surgery, he came home and started to recover. But Kennedy noticed that his balance seemed off and he was struggling to walk. Going back to the hospital revealed that he had a hemorrhagic stroke in his right frontal and temporal lobes. A craniotomy was performed and Smith was in an induced coma for nine days. He was in the hospital for a month before returning home; a setback revealing he had developed sunken brain syndrome. After the reconstruction of his scalp with skin from his stomach, Smith called it his “coconut head.” “This guy was a jokester and through it all he maintained his sense of humor,” Kennedy said. It had been an “unbelievable recovery”— he was able to start hiking again and getting out for eight to 10 miles a day, with Kennedy having him use a

In 2012, Smith was ready to return to work when he suffered a grand mal seizure so severe that it broke his back in five vertebra. After two back surgeries, he was back up to hiking 10 miles again. “The determination this man had was so inspiring to me,” Kennedy said. Smith’s seizure disorder started to take over and in 2014. He had uncontrollable brain storms and mini-strokes but kept hiking even if it was only one mile a day. One mini stroke while on a hike resulted in him shattering his ankle bone. Smith found an upside: being on a knee scooter helped him feel like a mountain biker again. In fall 2015, Smith had a stroke in the other side of his brain which took away all of

his motor skills. His body and brain were unable to recover. Kennedy said it was devastating to see this proud, active man not able to eat on his own or go up the stairs. “He didn’t want anyone to see him like that, he said ‘I just want it to be me and you, Franny’ and that’s how it was for the next three months,” Kennedy said. Smith passed away on Dec. 28, 2015 after celebrating one last Christmas, filled with laughter and gifts from friends and family. Kennedy said she had “five good years” with Smith after the accident and together they worked diligently to learn everything they could about brain injury rehab and recovery. Smith’s positive attitude, goofiness and jokes helped them get through the days. He called his knee scooter “Horace,” his cane “Hugo” and named his oxygen

FROM GRETLER, A4 accomplishes this. I will support and advocate for smart policies and decisions to ensure an exceptional education for every student. Safety policies and protocols, including cyber-safety, must be continuously adapted to ensure we are prepared for current-day threats. With the proper leadership and employing fiscal best practices, we can prioritize our resources and remain fiscally sound while meeting the district’s needs. Key to success is a governance team that offers different perspectives, but works well together. In short, the guiding principle of student success must govern every action. 3. Do you agree with the way the Del Mar Union School District operates? If not, what changes do you think need to be made? Our current board’s collaborative style rises above egos and politics to keep kids at the center of every decision. By insisting each classroom have the brightest teachers and innovative technology, we successfully shape the leaders of the future. Our fiscal house is in order with a balanced budget and solid reserves. The school board, the Teachers Association, elected officials, parents and community members endorse Erica Halpern and me. I plan to continue to be part of a team whose role extends beyond board meetings to engage stakeholders and the community to identify and understand needs and issues across the district.

machine“Herman.” “That’s the humor that gets you through because you don’t want to face the gravity of what’s really happening,” Kennedy said. She hopes to write a book someday about “this crazy story of ours” in the hopes it could help people going through any kind of struggle. In his memory, Kennedy also fundraises for Sharp Rehabilitation and for the Challenged Athletes Foundation, to help athletes with traumatic brain injuries like Brian’s, to reach their full potential. It took some time but Kennedy has returned to the canyon and has frequently visited the jump where his accident occurred. As she stares at the 120-foot drop-off she often asks herself “what were you thinking buddy?” “I go just to think of him,” Kennedy said through tears. “I understand why he did it. He was so smart, so intelligent and he needed a physical outlet. He had that beautiful canyon right in our backyard and it was his escape.” “Honoring him in this way is special,” she said. “I know he’s here.” Volunteers at the Nov. 5 work day will meet at Via Canyon Drive, off Torrey Santa Fe Road (off the Camino Del Sur exit of SR-56). Volunteers should wear closed-toe shoes, gloves, hat and sunscreen. Tools will be provided. Limited water and snacks will be provided—bring anything needed for a safe and comfortable work day.

FROM ACTIVIST, A11 $150 million per year in legal and prison costs), and that its application is racially biased. Many nations around the world have abolished capital punishment, and in the U.S., 24 states have either abolished the death penalty or put it on hold, according to the Death Penalty Information Center web site. “When you look around the world at countries which continue to execute people... we’re in very bad company,” with such nations as Iran, China and North Korea, said Wesendorf. But proponents of Prop. 66, which promises to streamline and maintain California’s death penalty, said the goal should be to “mend, not end” the law. San Diego County District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis, a Prop. 66 supporter, said she believes Californians want to keep the death penalty on the books in a way that protects the legal rights of defendants while speeding up the process. “It’s not working because those who don’t want the death penalty have been part of the cause for how much it costs and how long it takes,” she said. Currently, she said, it takes more than two decades for a death penalty case to work its way through the appeals process. “We want to fix that.” The death penalty, said Dumanis, is reserved for “the worst of the worst,” for such crimes as killing a police officer, or in the case of murder with aggravating factors such as lying in wait, torture, kidnapping or sexual assault. She said race doesn’t enter into the decision of whether to seek the death penalty; instead, she said, prosecutors consider the circumstances of the crime, the defendant’s criminal history and other factors. The legislative analyst’s office concluded that Prop. 66 could save money by reducing the number of death row inmates in California and distributing those inmates to other prisons instead of housing them all in single cells at San Quentin Prison. But due to other changes in the appeals process, the total fiscal impact is “unknown and cannot be estimated.” The vote likely won’t hinge on dollars and cents, according to Dumanis. “The bottom line is it’s probably a moral decision. Either you believe in the death penalty or you don’t believe in the death penalty. Californians have said for some crimes we believe in the death penalty.” If both measures receive majority approval on Nov. 8, the one with the most votes will win. A September poll by the Field Poll and UC Berkeley’s Institute of Governmental Studies found that 48 percent of voters supported Prop. 62, 37 percent opposed it, and 15 percent were undecided. The poll found that 35 percent supported Prop. 66, 23 percent opposed it, and a plurality of 42 percent was undecided.

People really liked the first one I posted and it went from getting 10 ‘likes’ to 100 to 1,000 to 100,000. I saw that and was like, ‘Now is the time to grind.’” Capitalizing on his viral Vine fame, Keswani quickly became one of the biggest stars on the application known for catapulting normal kids from making videos for fun in their bedrooms to worldwide fame. “I took advantage of the followers I was gaining and didn’t want to disappoint them, so I started constantly posting,” explains Keswani, who today has 3 million followers on Vine alone. “After that first video, I would think of ideas and it was smooth sailing from there.” One facet that set Keswani apart from the rest of the Vine pack is his humble, what you see is what you get approach to posting videos. On an application where many users rely on shock value and silly pranks, Keswani has stayed grounded and shed light on both his dwarfism and the medical issues he faces. (One recent video, played for laughs, involved how he can’t reach his bathroom mirror to look into it.) “With me, I got into Vine after having all of these surgeries as a kid and going through a lot of pain, which all made me mature quickly,” he said. “Having an ego and thinking you’re better than people is a waste of time. I don’t see the point.” It’s this attitude that has launched Keswani

FROM NC REP, A14 Council members said they would be thrilled to add the theater to the town’s list of attractions and agreed to start a process that could lead to a long-term lease for the 7-acre, city-owned lot. “It would be great to have you in a bigger space,” Councilwoman Lisa Shaffer, a frequent patron of North Coast Rep performances, told theater officials. Mayor Kristin Gaspar said she hoped this was the very last time that city leaders became excited about a theater proposal for that property. Most recently, Intrepid Theatre Co. entered into inclusive negotiations with the city in mid-2015, hoping to build a 130-seat theater on the site. The company was initially proposing to start with a $350,000 structure and then expand later. Later, Intrepid supporters found that construction costs were going to be far higher than they hoped and their negotiations with the city have been discontinued, Gaspar said. Horine stressed to the City Council that North Coast Rep will have the money to make its project happen, mentioning that it had a $5 million naming donor lined up and expected various fundraising matching donations during the campaign. The plans call for a roughly $15 million structure, he said. The company, which was founded in 1982, is already well on its way to becoming a regional attraction and has an annual budget of $2.5 million, he said. However, its future potential is hampered by its limited performance space, he added. Tucked into the Lomas Santa Fe Plaza shopping center just east of Interstate 5,

well beyond even success on Vine, from starring in a web series for People Magazine’s website about his life and times, to launching a YouTube channel — a video from the channel went viral as well. Publications worldwide have reported about everything from the inner workings of his family (for Britain’s Daily Mirror) to the fact his little sister is transgender (in Entertainment Weekly.) “At first my parents didn’t really understand it until I was making money off Vine, which was surreal to me,” he said. “I didn’t even start out to make money; I started out to make comedy. Now, whenever I go out with them I always get recognized. I see the looks on their faces like, ‘Wow, my son really made something of himself.’” Now his family has gotten into the business as well, from co-starring in the aforementioned People web series, to his mother acting as his current manager. “If Vine didn’t exist, I think I’d be making videos somewhere else,” he muses. “It’s just always been a hobby of mine, with or without Vine.” Now based in Los Angeles (says Keswani: “I miss San Diego but the move has helped my career a lot”), he’s set to undergo another surgery next month on his neck and brain concerning an issue affecting his spinal cord. However, now he knows that he’ll have a fan base waiting for him on the other side of it. “Every time I go into an operation, my fans will know and they’ll be sending me messages. A lot of people out there support me and that’s just a great feeling.”

North Coast Rep has a 194-seat theater — it’s delicately referred to as an “intimate” performance space on the organization’s web site. The group had planned to relocate into the long-proposed and ultimately abandoned Cedros Crossing development — a housing, retail and parking project proposed by North County Transit District for land it owns in Solana Beach’s downtown. Since that project’s been derailed by community opposition, Horine said North Coast Rep is looking outside Solana Beach for a new home. After his presentation, council members decided to reactivate their theater negotiating subcommittee in order to explore a lease agreement with the theater company. Any proposed agreement would later need to return to the full council for approval. A group of North Coast Rep board members, including president Sharon Stein, attended last week’s meeting but didn’t speak to the council on the issue. Encinitas resident Donna Westbrook, a frequent City Council meeting attendee, told the council that Measure T — a city-sponsored, housing measure on November ballot — mentions the theater pad as one of a group of options for future mixed-use housing projects. She said city leaders ought to be telling people to vote no on that ballot measure, if they’re considering allowing a theater on the site. Council members and a city planner responded that the ballot measure offers options for additional housing and doesn’t commit Encinitas to building homes on those properties. — Barbara Henry is a freelance writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

Own Investment Real Estate? For those of us who own investment real estate with simple inflation and given periods of supply and demand, we have seen our property values dramatically increase in value over time. Other than dealing with what we refer as “those terrible T’s” including tenants, toilets, trash, turnover, toddlers, teenagers, telephone calls, termites and taxes, we treasure our rentals as part of our family. What we often don’t take time to consider is “what are my current and long-term plans for my properties?” As financial advisors who provide overall comprehensive personal financial planning, we also have an expertise in helping our clients evaluate options for their investment properties. We discuss the pros and cons of many options including: ✔ KEEPING THE PROPERTY IN THE FAMILY ✔ REFINANCE ✔ SELL AND PAY TAXES ✔ INSTALLMENT SALE ✔ EXCHANGE INTO ACTIVE OWNERSHIP ✔ EXCHANGE INTO PASSIVE OWNERSHIP ✔ CHARITABLE REMAINDER TRUST As part of our evaluation, we are reminded that generally we are provided three basic benefits of investment property ownership: Tax benefits, income and potential appreciation. Many of the tax benefits of depreciation and other expenses decrease as years pass and tax benefits fade. As we age, our goal of long-term appreciation many times moves to a goal of income as a priority. As part of our personal financial planning, we evaluate exactly how much income you are “taking home” after expenses. I am reminded of a client who happily said he had $1 million equity in his duplex and was receiving $5,000 per month (6%) in rental income. A simply review of his tax return (Schedule E) indeed showed gross income of $60,000; however, after expenses, his actual “take home” was $20,000 annually or $1,600 per month, or approximately only 2%. Our “rule of thumb” is a take home of at least 5%. He was, unfortunately, also surprised to learn his $20,000 was also fully taxable (line 17 of tax from 1040) pushing him into a higher tax bracket. If you own investment real estate, be sure to consider your current and long-term goals for your property and work with experienced advisors who can assist you in helping you make choices that match you and your family’s financial goals.

FROM LETTERS, A26 best teachers and administrators and remained very fiscally prudent. Look no further than the value of your home to see why we should all care deeply about having consistently excellent public schools. It was my understanding that the policy of the Del Mar Times was to remain politically neutral and not to allow letters from candidates for political office or endorsing candidates for political office to be published. This policy has been violated repeatedly this year by allowing certain candidates’ letters to be published, giving free publicity for their views and circulating their names. If, as a private citizen, I can't object to the misinformation in these letters and Ms. Sutton's columns, what has happened to objective journalism? I am extremely disappointed by the lack of neutrality displayed by the newspaper. Jill Weitzen MacDonald Del Mar

FROM HAVILAND, A7 Initially, I want to focus on these issues and work toward effective, creative solutions. 3. What are your thoughts on the two ballot initiatives: Measure Q and Measure R? I support Measure Q. The 1 percent sales tax will raise about $2 million for the city. I will ensure these funds are spent wisely, on projects benefitting the entire community, including our business areas. I oppose Measure R. I support the right to vote on major, controversial issues, but the city attorney has given her opinion that this initiative conflicts with several state laws and will result in legal controversy and uncertainty. 4. What will you do to help improve the lives of your constituents? My priorities are: Continuing streetscape enhancements to improve the appearance, walkability and business climate of our village center; making our design review

FROM DRUKER, A6 4. What will you do to help improve the lives of your constituents? Expedite residential street and road repair. Implement the Camino del Mar streetscape. Attend the Del Mar Farmers’ Market on a monthly basis to listen to residents’ ideas

FROM STUBBS, A7 citizens’ need for beach access and improved rail safety. Additionally, we must listen to our residents and address their priorities, use our resources efficiently, and better monitor and manage our existing streams of revenue. According to the most recent citizens’ survey, the community believes that the most important issues we face are the lack of vibrancy in our downtown and neighborhoods and a poor public safety plan that does not provide adequate policing. Also, we must remedy the failures of the past and current leadership to address longtime problems associated with beach access and safe crossings along the rail corridor. 3. What are your thoughts on the two ballot initiatives: Measure Q and Measure R? Measure Q will be decided by the voters and, by all current accounts, appears to have

Editor’s Note: The letters policy is that, to be as fair and neutral as possible, letters cannot be published on the opinion page endorsing or opposing candidates for election. Our opinion page is for residents to be able to express an opinion on issues, so letters are published that focus on issues and why the letter writer supports or disagrees with an issue, such as class sizes, short-term rentals, Community Choice Aggregation, etc. Also, if a resident disagrees with an opinion on an issue voiced by opinion columnist Marsha Sutton they can submit a letter explaining why they disagree with her opinion on an issue. Many letters have been published over the years both disagreeing and agreeing with Marsha Sutton's opinions. All candidates are residents too and, as a resident, they can submit a letter voicing an opinion on an issue, not their candidacy. If another resident wants to write a letter disagreeing or agreeing with that opinion they can do that as long as their letter focuses on the issue. process more transparent, objective and fair; cooperating with regional agencies to provide permanent, safe access to our beaches and bluffs; improving response times and visible presence of our law enforcement services; preserving property values through prudent, sustainable land use decision making; seeing to the successful completion of the city hall and Shores Park. 5. Tell voters something interesting about yourself. I will bring a new and independent perspective to Del Mar city government, in keeping with our Community Plan goals; and focused on making Del Mar more family and business friendly and environmentally sustainable. I want to encourage civility and respect for differing points of view in our civil discourse. My husband Tim and I are passionate about preserving all that’s wonderful about our community, and working to make it even better for our children. and concerns. Provide a fresh connection to innovative opportunities to make Del Mar safer, greener, healthier, technologically sophisticated and energy efficient. 5. Tell voters something interesting about yourself. I have a 23-year-old African Gray parrot named Hermes. overwhelming citywide support. If Q passes, I promise to ensure the new revenue is used only for the priorities that Del Mar residents identify, not just for projects that are preferentially selected by longtime insiders. Measure R will kill revitalization and I do not support it. Ballot box land use planning, like Measure R, reflects an unhealthy breakdown in normal governance. Measure R is a frustrated last resort that we do not need. 4. What will you do to help improve the lives of your constituents? I will listen to them and work together to impartially identify problems and create solutions that work for everyone in Del Mar. 5. Tell voters something interesting about yourself. I co-founded the Del Mar Powerhouse Baseball Program so that girls and boys throughout the community could participate in the sport of baseball at a competitive level.

FROM BENEDICT, A6 disapproval of this measure. 4. What will you do to help improve the lives of your constituents? What I have learned from this race is that there are strong in-fighting between factions of this city. It is sad, even vicious. I hope to

FROM CORTI, A6 our AAA credit rating. I asked and listened to what the community wanted. Then I focused my energy and talents delivering to the majority what they indicated they needed and desired. I asked what the problems were. Then I strove to arrive at consensus driven, analytical and objective solutions. I want to implement these important initiatives; not just study and talk about them nor divide the community in the process: -Undergrounding utilities -Safe pedestrian passage across the tracks to our beaches -Implement a better security alternative to satisfy the needs and demands of the community that cannot be provided by the Sheriff’s contract -Finish city hall on schedule and within budget -Initiate meaningful revitalization to our downtown -Create 22 affordable housing units -Achieve a workable solution to the short-term rental problems -Protect and administer the Design Review Ordinance so the process for both property owners and neighbors alike is fair and objective. There is still much to do. I feel I am uniquely talented and now experienced to accomplish what we started over the last four years. That is why I decided to rerun for City Council again. 2. What do you believe are the biggest issues facing Del Mar? Arriving at fact-based and objective solutions to issues and problems facing Del Mar that serve the entire community and not just the vocal minority. 3. What are your thoughts on the two ballot initiatives: Q and R? I am in support of Measure Q. It will allow the city to get 100 percent of sales tax benefit to use for what we as a city want and need. If passed, it will enable us to make major infrastructure improvements in roads, parks and utilities and it will enable us to afford more for enhanced security and other essential services.

FROM PARKS, A7 visitors are costly. Measure Q raises a small portion of the cost from visitors. I oppose Measure R because it will result in delays to projects revitalizing our city, costly litigation and state-imposed housing density increases. No major project has ever been approved by City Council without submitting it to a vote of residents. 4. What will you do to help improve the lives of your constituents? The ocean will continue to rise, the weather will continue to warm, and the bluffs will continue to erode. The Fairgrounds will schedule more events. I-5 will be widened and One Paseo will be built. NCTD wants more double tracking

help mend fences. 5. Tell voters something interesting about yourself. In 1972, right out of college, I opened a wine and cheese store in Del Mar (next to Bully’s) called The Cork n’ Cheddar. A really fun experience and I continue to make homemade wine today! It is the single best way to raise revenues from more than 5 million service hungry visitors and use it to support the 4,278 residents that pay the bills. I am against Measure R. It is flawed and problematic in that it will subject us to costly litigation and undermines the Design Review Process. Measure R will do the same to all of our commercial areas as Measure B has done to our downtown commercial area. Measure R will stifle development and reinvestment by property owners and continue to contribute to the decay of our village atmosphere and commercial vibrancy. 4. What will you do to help improve the lives of your constituents? The Community Plan and the Design Review Ordinance are the cornerstone of what makes Del Mar the community in which we live and love. It defines the character of our community, protects us from over development and has proven effective for more than 30 years in increasing our property values. We must remain a quaint, Village by the Sea. If we respect the Community Plan and the Design Review Ordinance, we will continue to prosper and maintain our unique character. I will fiercely protect the Community Plan and the DRO from those that want to use it to further their personal agenda at the expense of Del Mar property owners and residents alike. 5. Tell voters something interesting about yourself. I never envisioned getting into politics. When I retired from the 80-plus hour work weeks, I had the time and desire to give back to my community, which has served me and my family. I was instilled at an early age by remarkable immigrant parents growing up in the East Bronx to work hard, ethically, respectful to all and treat others as you want to be treated. I aspire to live by these values every day and apply them to all aspects of my life… family, career and now as council member of Del Mar. I strive for honesty, integrity and character for you and your City Council. and an increased number of trains. New disruptive technologies such as Airbnb will constantly challenge us. I will vigorously fight for you to minimize the negative effects of traffic, noise and pollution on our neighborhoods. 5. Tell voters something interesting about yourself. I was raised in an orchard-town in Washington State. I learned the importance of neighbors and relying on friends. What you don’t know is that I, too, have endured the disruption of neighbors’ projects going on endlessly. I want to solve that problem and so many others so we can enjoy our beautiful village. Each day I take my clipboard and whittle away at the problems you have shared with me. I am an optimist.

M

ore than 250 players, friends and volunteers played or watched bocce Oct. 9 on 30 courts laid out on Del Mar Horsepark’s grand prix field during Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary’s 20th Annual Bocce Ball Tournament. They also had fun and helped raise over $40,000 for beneficiaries Just In Time For Foster Youth, Reality Changers and other deserving youth, community, military and international programs. Solana Beach’s team of Mayor David Zito and Councilmember Ginger Marshall, and Del Mar’s team of Mayor Sherryl Parks and Deputy Mayor Terry Sinnott, started the tournament by demonstrating the game of bocce. These teams then began competition in earnest, with Solana Beach winning bragging rights until next year. Mayor Parks promised to relinquish the “Mayor’s Trophy” it had won last year and deliver it to Mayor Zito. The day was capped by Rancho Computer Network’s team of Bill Durney and Michael Irvin prevailing over Pacific Southwest Realty Services’ team of Lesley and Paul Sagar to win the overall tournament championship. Anika Spenser and Joseph Legotte of Mesa Rim Climbing & Fitness Center won the Consolation bracket. Many new participants expressed surprise and delight at the size of the tournament and the fun everyone was having. Comments included: “I am so impressed with the whole tournament. What a wonderful, fun event to support worthwhile programs. We definitely will be back next year. It was so nice to see youth from both major beneficiaries really enjoying participating in the tournament.” Visit See www.DMSBRotary.com. Online: www.delmartimes.net

Rockin’ road trip musical premieres at La Jolla Playhouse

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT “Miss you like hell”— I’d never heard that expression before seeing the workshop version of this La Jolla Playhouse-commissioned play in February. Now, thanks to Google, I find it’s been used in several recent songs and a long-ago letter from Edna St. Vincent Millay. In fact, the Millay quote — “Where you used to be, there is a hole in the world. ... I miss you like hell” — is what Quiara inspired playwright Quiara Alegria Alegria Hudes to choose it for Hudes the title of her world-premiere musical, opening Oct. 25 at the Playhouse. “I was putting together a list of what I thought Olivia’s favorite books might be, and that quote just jumped out at me,” Hudes said. “I thought: That’s how Olivia would feel about life and her mother.” Olivia (played by Krystina Alabado, seen on Broadway this year in “American Psycho”) is the teenage daughter of Beatriz, a free-spirited, mostly-absent mom played by two-time Tony Award winner Daphne Rubin-Vega, who starred in the workshop version. What’s the story of “Miss You Like Hell”? The Playhouse calls it “a soaring new musical about family, country and finding your way home.” Here’s the playwright’s description: “It’s about an estranged mother and daughter who go through the full arc of a mother-daughter relationship in seven days.” They’re on a road trip — not something you often see female characters doing (other than

The cast of “Miss You Like Hell,” with Daphne Rubin-Vega, far left. Thelma and Louise) unless, as Hudes noted, they’re raped and/or about to be killed. “The American Road is basically the sole province of men who leave behind their responsibilities and head for the open road,” Hudes said. “I wish women were afforded the same heroic possibility of freedom and discovery, the opportunity to explore the American landscape and not end up as victims.” She gives Beatriz and Olivia a chance to do just that. “They’re not role models; they’re both flawed people, but they’re still at the center of the story. Women can be anti-heroes, too, without being devils,” she said. A number of Hudes’ plays were based on members of her family, but this one is not

biographical, although Hudes may someday write about her own unconventional mother, a practitioner of Puerto Rican Santeria, Quaker activism and Tibetan healing. “She’s a very spiritual person, and I’m very intellectual,” Hudes said. “The things she espouses don’t come naturally to me, though they do enrich my life, and I’ve added some of our spiritual sparring to the play.” In rehearsal since mid-September, the play has been going through changes, and now has several new songs and scenes. But Rubin-Vega is still there, as are three other actors from the workshop cast, and multi-award-winning director Lear deBessonet continues at the helm, with choreographer Danny Mefford — the one male on the creative team.

“Miss You Like Hell” began life as an adaptation of Hudes’ 2009 play, “26 Miles.” “I wanted to do a musical version, so I went looking for a composer, someone with a wide grasp of what it means to be an American today,” Hudes said. “I asked friends for suggestions, and that’s how I discovered Erin McKeown, and started to woo her, five years ago.” Since McKeown lives in western Massachusetts and Hudes in NYC’s Washington Heights, much of their work was done over Skype. The two are co-lyricists, and maintain a very open collaboration, with book-writer Hudes, who studied music composition at Yale, sometimes contributing a musical line, and McKeown sometimes contributing to a character’s speech. A big part of the collaboration is Rubin-Vega, whose credits include Tony-winning performances in “Rent” and “Anna in the Tropics,” the 2000 Broadway revival of “The Rocky Horror Show,” and a leading role in Hudes’ recent off-Broadway play, “Daphne’s Dive.” “She’s a very special person and performer,” Hudes said. “Erin comes from the rock ‘n’ roll world, so we needed a seasoned theater professional who could do rock and roll, and when Daphne’s name came up, that was it. Her voice in Erin’s score is just thrilling, and she’s one of the top stage actresses today.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Miss You Like Hell,” is on stage Oct. 25-Dec. 4 at La Jolla Playhouse’s Mandell Weiss Theatre.

Successful toffee company run by 21-year-old LCC graduate

Abramson will show off the goods at the upcoming Harvest Festival

BY CHRIS SAUR If it sounds like a story that comes from a different century, well, that’s because it sort of does. It’s the story of Mother Tucker’s Toffee, a business that sells toffee near and far, and is run by 21-year-old entrepreneur Luke Abramson, a lifelong Encinitas resident. Unlike most of his classmates at La Costa Canyon High, at age 16 Abramson didn’t feel that going to college immediately after high school was the right path for him. Needing an alternate plan, he found it in his own kitchen. Abramson’s family had a recipe for old-fashioned almond toffee that had been passed down from his great grandmother, who used to sell it to gold miners in Colorado. “My relatives back in Colorado used to make it and send it to us and I would hide it so no one else could eat it,” Abramson said. As he has grown up, he’s gotten better at sharing, and now he wants the world to enjoy his great grandma’s toffee — literally. “(On the website http://mothertuckerstoffee.com), I sell all over the world. One order came from China,” said Abramson, who will be displaying his goods locally next weekend at the 44th Harvest Festival, set for Oct. 21-23 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. But before all of his success, Abramson’s family and friends had some reservations about

Luke Abramson, 21, runs Mother Tucker’s Toffee, selling the treat that is made from his great grandmother’s recipe. him trying to start a business as a teenager still in high school. “At first, they said ‘you don’t want to do this,’ but I was like ‘why not?’” Abramson explained. “The product is very good, everyone loved it, and I had self-confidence as well. I wanted to start my own company. (My success) just comes from hard work and dedication to it.” The delicious toffee doesn’t hurt either as Mother Tucker’s has created several additional flavors, Pistachio Delight, Sea Salt and Coffee Toffee to compliment the original almond.

After getting all of the required permits and FDA approval, Abramson started his business by selling the toffee at various farmers’ markets around the county, including Encinitas and Rancho Santa Fe. The business grew quickly, with the need outweighing the output he could produce from his kitchen. Now, Mother Tucker’s is produced on a larger scale out of an industrial kitchen in Vista, but each batch is still hand crafted by Abramson or one of his five employees. Following the initial cook, the toffee stands for a couple of days to harden.

With the larger production and booming website sales — for individuals as well as weddings and corporate gifts — Abramson is currently working on getting the product into stores like Whole Foods, Gelson’s and eventually, Costco. And, of course, he’ll be at the Harvest Festival, an original art and craft show. “I’m looking forward to it because it’s the biggest event I will go to,” Abramson said. “There are thousands of people that go there to shop and hopefully there will be some people that own small boutique shops that might want to get it and sell it in their stores. “(At these events and the farmers’ markets), I like it because I get to talk to every single person and tell them my story.” Billing itself as the biggest and best holiday art and craft show in San Diego for more than four decades, the Harvest Festival this year will feature more than 300 artists and craftspeople presenting Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas decor, handmade wearable art, photography, ceramics, jewelry, garden decorations, hand-turned wood, children’s toys, unique holiday gifts — like toffee — and more. All products in the show are made in America and chosen by a jury. Festival attendees can enjoy a complimentary Kid Zone, with hands-on arts and crafts projects provided by Nature of Art and Charity Wings, while Big Mama Sue & Fast Eddie, Fables of the West, Captain Jack Spareribs and the HyJinx Band are also scheduled to perform.

‘The Secret Life of the American Musical’

Theater ace talks Broadway at Jewish Book Fair BY DIANA SAENGER ack Viertel knows his way around the theater. He is senior vice president of Jujamcym Theaters, which owns and operates five Broadway theaters. His body of work includes being a theater critic, an arts editor for the Los Angeles Herald Examiner, a dramaturg for the Mark Taper Forum, and a decade of teaching musical theater at the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. With so many years of theatrical experience, he was destined to write a book. “The Secret Life of the American Musical: How Broadway Shows Are Built,” was published this year, and the 312-pager could also be called an encyclopedia. Viertel will talk about his tome 4 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 30 at the Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive in La Jolla, as a guest of the 22nd annual Jewish Book Fair. “I first had the idea to teach it at NYU about 12 years ago,” Viertel said. “I set up two classes at NYU for writer and director grad students. I went through this material many times. I was asked to give talks by more fans than professionals, so I wrote a book. It took about two years to write and another for editing and design.” Viertel has a connection to San Diego. He reviewed plays of an early season of the La Jolla Playhouse that included “The Visions of Simone Machard,” “A Mad World, My Masters,” and “Romeo and Juliet.” From curtain up to curtain down, in his book Viertel details productions giving advice, opinions and comments. He addresses acting, producing, directing, set design, and the music. He compares how shows worked in earlier years compared to now. “I attend almost everything on Broadway, as that’s my job,” Viertel said. “At any given time, there are probably about 40 there and about 60 regional.” Along with tons of information about musicals, Viertel includes interesting or humorous details. One example is a reference where he compares deck chairs missing a part from Home Depot to subplots in the show. “That’s the way I talk more or less,” he said. “This book was not constructed like a T.S. Eliot poem. I think all the years of being a critic and on deadline, you get proficient at meeting deadlines and start to write that way. I didn’t take a lot of notes. I have a weirdly selective encyclopedic memory and remember most of it. I did most of the research as I was writing. I had taught the shows to students over and over again, so that does get stuck in your head after a while.” His insights on musical theater are remarkable as this excerpt reveals: “I had begun to understand what it meant to tell a story on stage. I eventually came to understand that theater is not the written word, it’s the word made flesh. Somethings can make you cry. Sometimes an actor turning toward or away from another actor can tell you more of the story than all the words a playwright could think up.” When asked what percentage of Tony Awards he usually agrees with, he replied, “A lot this year. I’m a big ‘Hamilton’ fan. I sometimes see shows that win awards that I can’t imagine being nominated for anything. The Tonys affect the audiences’ tastes more

“The Secret Life of the American Musical: How Broadway Shows Are Built” than the critics. Rarely are there shocking surprises. The Tonys are a way of promoting what Broadway people want to come see.” Since his career has spanned many years and generations, one wonders if he thinks a person should see a play more than once. “Things have shifted over the years to a different kind of collaboration. The way rock ‘n’ roll bands put stuff together is different from what Rodgers and Hammerstein did on roadshows. I don’t know that one method is better than another, but there is a feeling that it’s become a slightly less rigid and formal process than it once was.” Viertel sees many shows every year, but his favorite, which he said he could watch over and over, is “Follies.” ■ IF YOU GO: The San Diego Jewish Book Fair runs Oct. 29-Nov. 6 mostly at the Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive in La Jolla.

Massage therapist Juan Reque treats pain of professional and amateur athletes Tennis pro Maria Sharapova among clients

2016-2017 Season at Spreckels Theatre

After earning his physical therapy and sports science degrees, he went on to work as a trainer for the Association of Tennis Professionals. As a trainer, he traveled for five years with the Spanish Davis Cup team, setting up a service network to deal with injury prevention and treatment. “I like hands-on treatment,” said Reque, also licensed in massage therapy, European physical therapy, and strength and conditioning coaching. “Hands-on treatment is what I like to do,” he added. “I’m good at it and can really help a lot of people with my hands.” Reque brought his perfect touch to San Diego three years ago, when he moved to the city with his family in 2013 and opened his Solana Beach-based business Injury Recovery Massage. He specializes in treating people with chronic pain who have already been to the doctor and to a physical therapist. “That’s when they come to me,” he said. “My approach is different. It’s much more

With the perfect touch, licensed massage therapist Juan Reque has worked with some of the world’s biggest stars, including professional tennis player Maria Sharapova. “There is nobody who knows my body better than Juan Reque,” Sharapova says in a testimonial on his website. “This is really important when you have a busy schedule and you have to prevent injuries.” For more than 20 years, Reque has helped treat the pain of professional and amateur athletes. For five years, from 2008 through 2013, Reque worked with Sharapova, even relocating to Los Angeles to help her recover from shoulder surgery in 2008. After her surgery, Reque provided post-operative therapies that have kept Sharapova in top physical condition and pain-free. “Working with elite athletes makes you proud,” Reque said. Reque connected with some of the world’s best tennis players when he was a member of a tennis country club in Spain, his native country.

tendinopathies and muscle problems. In a large number of chronic injuries, such as muscle strains or joint pains, the injured area presents scar tissue and limitation of movement. ART uses tension with movement to strip scar tissue from muscles and tendons to regain functionality. He is also able to hone in on the source of the injury. Rather than simply focusing on the presenting physical symptoms, he determines the principal cause of the problem, which often goes undiagnosed. His treatment concentrates on releasing muscle tension, regaining joint mobility and activating muscles. “Every new client is a new challenge,” he said. “I try to make their life better, which is ultimately the goal.” Injury Recovery Massage is located at 674 Via de la Valle, Suite 215, Solana Beach. Reque offers 30-minute, 45-minute and 60-minute sessions. As a special introductory price, he is offering a 45-minute session for $60.

The Envision Theatre at Canyon Crest Academy will present the William Shakespeare classic Romeo and Juliet for a five-night run in the Proscenium Theater, beginning Oct 28 at 7 p.m. This will be the debut performance of the work at CCA. Director Steve Lipinsky says ”I am honored to work in such a lively and multi-disciplinary youth arts program. This is my first experience directing Romeo and Juliet, and I am excited, in only six weeks of rehearsal, to watch how modern teens connect to this challenging text and find honest ways to express these classic emotions.” This re-telling of a timeless classic will be set in modern day and will examine the pros and cons of different parenting styles, emphasizing the evolution of parenting at its extremes. Also highlighted is the role of modern technology in the lives of teens. This production explores the rampant miscommunication, dangers, and joys that technology brings. At an age where everyone wants someone who understands and loves them for who they truly are, Romeo and Juliet find an honest, special connection which they refuse to let go.

DRIVE AutoCare announces hiring of Kelly Johnson, service manager DRIVE AutoCare (formerly North Coast Alignment) enthusiastically announced the hiring of Kelly Johnson as Service Manager at its N. Cedros Avenue Solana Beach location. Johnson has 25 years of industry experience, most recently at Fairbanks Ranch Mobil and Rancho Santa Fe Automotive. According to Catalyst.org (catalyst.org/knowledge/women-automotive- industry), women represent half the U.S. workforce but just 7.3 percent of employment in the Automotive Repair & Maintenance Industry, despite the fact that women make the majority of auto repair decisions. And according to an AutoMD consumer survey (automd.com/about-automd/press/06-09-2014), women are the industry’s top customers, holding the majority of drivers’ licenses, logging more time on the road, and spending $200 billion annually on new cars and maintenance services. This same survey found that women hate going to the auto repair shop even more than they hate going to the dentist.

DRIVE AutoCare, with two locations in Solana Beach and one location in Escondido, hired Johnson with the intent of making all customers feel comfortable when purchasing automotive repair and maintenance services. In addition to the hiring of Johnson, DRIVE AutoCare recently: 1. Acquired D&B Automotive and expanded its N. Cedros location. The new location has a more customer-friendly (and dog welcoming) waiting area and four additional lifts. 2. Hired Paul Collins, another industry veteran with 15 years’ experience. 3. Hired Danny Johnson, whose experience now provides DRIVE AutoCare the expertise to work on exotics and high performance vehicles. Exotics and high performance vehicles are eligible for our Concierge Door-to-Door Service. These strategic initiatives have proved to be very effective, resulting in nearly perfect customer service reviews: SEE DRIVE, B16

Starry Starry Night gala raises over $1.3M for Voices for Children Starry Starry Night, the signature fundraising event of Voices for Children (VFC), raised more than $1.3 million on Sept. 24 at the San Diego Polo Club in Rancho Santa Fe. The net proceeds from these funds will provide CASA volunteers to 426 abused, neglected children living in San Diego County foster care. Chairs for this year’s Starry Starry Night were Del Mar residents Nancy and David Doyle. There were 330 guests in attendance, including members of the Voices for Children Board of Directors and the Community Ambassadors Council. Jim Nye conducted the evening’s Live Auction, and winners took home such prizes as a week at luxurious homes on Hanalei Bay in Kauai and at the Esperanza in Cabo San Lucas; a trip to Sydney, Australia, via DeltaOne (donated by Delta Air Lines); and a ski week in Aspen. The highlight of the evening was a premiere screening of That Is My CASA, by filmmaker Alex Juutilainen, telling the story of Suamhirs Piraino-Guzman,

31 ways to use pumpkin

W

hether it feels like autumn or not, the calendar gremlins herald the season with the invasion of pumpkins. The mighty squash, which is 90 percent water and zero cholesterol, has a load of potassium to maintain fluid and electrolyte balance, Vitamin C to boost the immune system, antioxidant-rich beta-carotene and Vitamin A linked to reducing risk factors for heart disease and certain cancers, along with sharpening eyesight and warding off pesky wrinkles. While the elliptical forest green kernels (seeds with cream-colored shells removed), aka pepitas, are packed with stress busting B’s, iron, copper, magnesium, and zinc, the latter making them powerful warriors against osteoporosis. Here are over 30 ways to get the best and most out of the short yet bountiful pumpkin season.

Whip up:

14. A pan of pumpkin lasagna; 15. A pumpkin vinaigrette dressing to enliven a green salad or use as a marinade for roasted vegetables, chicken, seafood or wild caught salmon; 16. A pot of hearty chili with chunks of roasted pumpkin; 17. Pumpkin fries with autumn-spiced ranch dipping sauce; 18. Creamy pumpkin risotto; 19. A ratatouille of assorted squashes; 20. A hot pumpkin soup served in pumpkin shell ramekins; 21. A pitcher of zippy pumpkin gazpacho; 22. A batch of creamy pepita butter;

Edema and Vein Health— Why You Shouldn’t Ignore Fluid Retention What do your varicose veins and swollen ankles have in common? Both have to do with damaged veins, often caused by increased pressure within the damaged veins. Sometimes swelling is just that—you’ve eaten too much chips and salsa, or splurged on something fried. Other swelling is caused from too much standing (at a concert or theme park, or even a long day at work), or sitting (on a plane or long car ride). Even hot, humid weather can cause some

swelling of the legs and feet. This is edema, which can be benign or serious. Sometimes, blood plasma leaks out of damaged veins, seeping into the peripheral tissue. This fluid buildup that causes the swelling in the legs, feet, or hands is called peripheral edema. It’s also common among pregnant or menstruating women because of hormone changes. Generally, minor swelling will occur in the legs, ankles, and feet and will disappear overnight, absorbed by the body during sleep. Swelling that disappears within a day or two shouldn’t be a cause for alarm. Generally, the culprit is venous insufficiency or vein damage, when the valves in the veins, especially in the lower extremities, are so weak that blood can’t pump back up toward the heart, so instead, the blood pools in the damaged veins of the legs and feet, causing those unsightly varicose veins. But note, too, that varicose veins themselves can cause additional swelling of the legs, ankles, and feet.

What may surprise many people is that non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as naproxen and ibuprofen can actually worsen edema, as can drugs prescribed for diabetes, hormones such as estrogen and testosterone, and certain antidepressants and even blood pressure medications (calcium-channel blockers). However, in serious cases, the source of edema is kidney or liver disease, or even heart disease, which can cause fluid to enter the lungs and abdomen, if not elsewhere. If swelling persists after a day or two or even worsens, consult a doctor quickly, especially if the swelling is accompanied by a shortness of breath, as severe fluid buildup can be caused by heart failure or lifethreatening kidney, liver, or thyroid disease. Oftentimes in such cases, the swelling in the extremities occurs because the heart is too week to pump blood efficiently. How to prevent edema? If you already have vein disease, that can’t be cured. Varicose veins can (and should) be treated with sclerotherapy, to prevent additional

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

Willis Allen’s Sean Caddell helps Ocean Discovery Institute achieve heroic fundraising feats at Annual Bubble Up! Gala Once again this year, Willis Allen Realtor Sean Caddell – who is also an Ocean Discovery Institute board member – helped Ocean Discovery raise a record amount of money in support of tuition-free science education programs for urban youth. Ocean Discovery’s annual black-tie Bubble Up! Gala drew more than 300 business and philanthropic heroes to the Omni La Costa Resort in September. This year’s theme, Our Heroes…Extraordinary, celebrated the outstanding endeavors and achievements of both supporters and students. Gala attendees donated $310,000, making this year’s gala the most successful to date. Proceeds from the gala will support programs and pave the way for an expansion that will provide 20,000 young people with hands-on science and conservation education every year. Caddell, who like all Willis Allen Realtors puts a strong emphasis on community service and volunteerism, says he considered the success of the gala truly extraordinary. “It was an incredible evening that surpassed our wildest expectations,” says Caddell. “Our community of supporters truly showed their super powers – connecting to our amazing students and then raising their paddles in support of them. We are so grateful for their incredible generosity.” Gala attendees enjoyed a lively auction, an inspiring student-infused program, and a chance to meet Ocean Discovery students to hear firsthand how the institute has impacted
