SB to allocate federal funds to Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito BY KRISTINA HOUCK If the city’s application is approved, Solana Beach will allocate 15 percent of its federal Community Development Block Grant funds to the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito. The city receives about $50,000 annually in federal Community Development Block Grant funds, which are administered locally through the county’s Housing and Community Development Services Department. The city’s previous three grant applications, which were approved by the council, constructed pedestrian ramps at public street intersections. Because most of these ramps have already been installed throughout the city, the need for ADA ramps has declined. Thus, this year the council asked to use a portion of Community Development Block Grant funds to augment the city’s annual Community Grant Program. Applications for the grant funds are due Oct. 28. City staff is pursuing 85 percent for ADA improvements and 15 percent, or as much as $7,500, for funding public services. Representatives from both the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito and Community Resource Center spoke before the council at the Oct. 12 meeting. Ultimately, the council decided to SEE FUNDS, A26

Solana Beach School District voters Water district wraps up to decide on $105M bond measure year-long security review BY KRISTINA HOUCK With a need for school improvements across Solana Beach School District, most voters in the district will decide Nov. 8 whether to support a $105 million bond measure to replace and upgrade facilities. If passed, Measure JJ would replace or upgrade outdated classrooms, science labs, libraries and school buildings; restore deteriorating roofs, plumbing and electrical systems; improve student safety and campus security; and provide students access to educational facilities, science and technology
needed to prepare for high school, college and careers. “It’s really the only way we’re seeing right now that we can fund school construction because there’s not a light on the horizon of a better option,” said Caroline Brown, the district’s executive director of capital programs and technology. Founded in 1925, Solana Beach School District has seven elementary schools and a child development center. In 2014, the district opened its seventh school, Solana Ranch SEE BOND, A6

Roberts, Gaspar try to differentiate themselves from each other BY JOSHUA STEWART In the last stretch running up to Election Day, county Supervisor Dave Roberts and Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar are making greater efforts to distinguish themselves from each other as early voting has commenced. Roberts, a former Solana Beach mayor and councilman, is portraying himself a polymath with a collaborative streak who has shown he can serve the district for another four years. “I am supported by the people across the political aisle,” he said in an interview. “Just look, I am supported by Democrats, Republicans and independents.” “Wouldn’t you think that the former Republican mayor of Encinitas, the former Republican supervisor would support my opponent?” Roberts said, referring to his SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE predecessor, Pam Slater-Price. Gaspar is running against what she Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar and County Supervisor Dave Roberts sees as gaps and faults in the incumbent’s résumé. She has brought plenty of attention to accusations from former Roberts’ staffers of wrongdoing by the supervisor, which cost the county $310,000 in legal settlements last year. She said Roberts lacks a strategy to help county government reach long-term goals, adding that she has the business acumen to help guide the county and the judgment to avoid the scandals that dogged Roberts. “I can always make you proud. I know you can always look at me as a role model, an example in your community. Issues come and go,” Gaspar said at a forum. Gaspar is continuing to criticize Roberts for a scandal that rocked his office last year. And now, Roberts is starting to swing back. Their contest is the only county supervisor race on the ballot. Roberts finished first in the primary with 38.7 percent of the vote, while Gaspar received 34.2 percent. Escondido Mayor Sam Abed, like Gaspar a Republican, received 26.9. SEE ROBERTS, GASPAR, A26
Measures E-H aim to streamline SD City Council BY KAREN BILLING On San Diego’s lengthy ballot there are four measures, Measures E through H, that are amendments to San Diego City Council’s charter. Council President Sherri Lightner describes the charter revisions as a bit of “housekeeping,” to make a better document for the public and make city departments work more efficiently as well. No opposition has been filed on any of the measures. “There is no opposition and I think that’s the result of the public outreach that we did during the process and just how much sense the items we’re putting forward do make,” Lightner said, noting that they have the endorsement of San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce and the League of Women Voters on a number of them. Measure E is a result of what the city went through when Mayor Bob Filner resigned from office after multiple allegations of sexual harassment and what transpired after he resigned. It deals with how the city removes someone from office and how the city handles interim authority. Lightner said as the city attorney searched for methodologies to remove Filner from office, it was discovered that San Diego, unlike many other jurisdictions, didn’t even have very basic provisions in the charter for a vacancy in office that might be created by, for example, physical or mental incompetence. “With respect to the removal from office
STUNNING OCEAN FRONT ENCINITAS $6,900,000
we had considered a vote of no confidence approach whereby the council would vote and remove someone from office,” Lightner said. “We moved away from that because we believe the electeds are elected by the people and they should be removed by the people.” With the change in the charter, the city will be able to have a situation where if there is an itemized cause for removal determined by a court, the council by three-quarters vote can then place on a removal of elected official on the ballot. “We tried to be very, very careful with this and to make clear that we respect the vote of the people and the fact that if they elected someone it should not be something that the council gets to undo.” The charter also includes automatic cause for vacating office, including if a councilmember moves out of the district he/she represents, if they are determined to be physically or mentally incapacitated, if councilmembers have unexcused absences or if convicted of a civil liability or a felony. For an elected official to be removed for dereliction of duty or malfeasance, it has to be the result of a court’s judgment and a vote of seven of the nine councilmembers to place on the ballot. “We acknowledge that these are all lengthy processes but they are also situations where conceivably you would develop a climate that would pressure the individual into resigning,” Lightner said.

Community celebrates new Community Patio at Del Mar Community Building BY KRISTINA HOUCK Del Mar Community Building’s back parking lot has been transformed into a beautified public space, thanks to a grant from San Diego County. Local nonprofits Del Mar Community Connections and the Del Mar Foundation, both housed at the building, celebrated the new “Community Patio” with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Oct. 21 at the Del Mar Community Building at 225 Ninth St. in Del Mar. “We are just so delighted about how this space turned out,” said Felise Levine, board president of
Del Mar Community Connections. The ceremony marked the completion of the joint community enhancement project, a large canopied outdoor patio enclosed by greenery-filled planters. The 24-foot-by-24-foot shaded site will be used for a variety of community functions, from committee meetings to community events.

BY KAREN BILLING Canyon Crest Academy freshman Rachana Madhukara was named a semifinalist in the Broadcom Masters, the nation’s most prestigious STEM competition for middle school students. Rachana was recognized as one of 300 students Rachana Madhukara nationwide for her project “Devising a Secure and Efficient Hybrid Cryptosystem,” which she completed as an eighth grader at Carmel Valley Middle School. “I was initially very surprised as I knew there were other well-deserving projects out there as well,” Rachana said. “But I felt quite honored and happy at the same time to be selected as a Broadcom Masters Semifinalist.” Rachana’s project was inspired by her father, who is in the hospital frequently and is often waiting for medical results. Results can’t be sent through email because of confidentiality risks so Rachana created a cryptosystem to better allow patients to access results
through email. In addition to the recognition from Broadcom, Rachana’s project also earned first place in mathematical science at the Greater San Diego Science and Engineering Fair in April and won professional awards from the Association for Women in Science Award, the Armed Communications and Interactions Award, and the Naval Award. She is currently in the process of writing up a patent application for her system. “My end goal is to receive a patent, but I still have a long ways to go,” she said. At CCA, Rachana is formulating a new mathematics project for this year. Last year, her project was in an area of applied mathematics but, in general, she is more interested in pure math. “Other than that, I'm having lots of fun at school, especially doing science,” Rachana said. “Even though I'm more of a math-minded person, I'm still having lots of fun with biology. I'm learning how to use pipettes, make agar and many other cool things. I love how it’s so hands on.”

Nothing but love for CCA tennis seniors BY KAREN BILLING anyon Crest Academy Lady Ravens tennis team held its senior send-off for four special players on Oct. 20. Coach Larry Belinsky said that seniors Juliann Li, Emma Burton, Amanda Schiffman and Lily Richard leave behind a legacy of success, noted by the banners hanging on the school’s tennis court from the school’s first CIF Division 1 Championship in 2014 and CIF finalists in 2013. The varsity squad had a very strong season at 12-3 and will head into CIF Championship play this week hoping to bring home another banner. At the send-off, Belinsky took time to personally acknowledge each player. He said he admired and respected Co-Captain Emma’s ability to stay calm and focused even under the most stressful moments. “You have such a sweet and kind demeanor and never seem to let things get you down,” he said. Belinsky said fellow team Co-Captain Juliann was always striving to improve, a quality he thinks holds true in everything she does, not just tennis. “Your dedication to hard work and discipline will undoubtedly take you far in life,” Belinsky said to Juliann. He said Lily, the team’s fashionista, was a great team leader with a “bubbly, positive and tenacious attitude” and he was always impressed with her manner on and off the court. “On one hand you are loyal, caring,

sensitive, respectful and charming,” he said. “On the other, you are a fierce competitor, a force to be reckoned with who I have never seen back away from a challenge.” To Amanda, the coach said he was proud that she had accomplished so much on the varsity squad over the last four years, including the championship and serving as co-captain in 2015.
“I feel very honored to have been associated with you as well as your loving family,” Belinsky said, wishing her luck in college. Athletic Brian Baum said the banners speak for what the tennis seniors have done during their time at CCA. “I expect a lot of our student athletes and I think these four have demonstrated that over their four years here, being great role models

for the individuals behind you (the Junior Varsity team), showing them how to behave, how to act and how to be a leader. That’s what’s more important for me than the banners hanging out there,” Baum said. CCA looks to continue its strength in tennis as the aforementioned JV team went 14-0 this season and recently won the Avocado West League Championship.

COURTESY
BY ASHLEY MACKIN As one of San Diego Police Department’s first female patrol officers, Janet Chelberg-Burgess of San Carlos experienced a lot in the field, things most people don’t see in their lifetimes. But her biggest challenge to date is something frighteningly common that affects about one in every eight women: breast cancer. To mark breast cancer awareness month, Chelberg-Burgess completed her multi-phase treatment and is today, cancer free. She shared her story with this newspaper group from the Scripps Radiation Therapy Center in La Jolla Oct. 6, minutes after completing her final radiation treatment. Reflecting on the tumultuous experience that began in February of this year, she recalled the dreaded moment her doctor said, “you have breast cancer,” and first feelings of shock that followed. “I know or have heard of so many people who have or have had cancer. Some people survive, some don’t. Then all of a sudden, it’s you. I thought, ‘Me? This is happening to me? It’s not supposed to be me, this happens to other people.’ ” Having had a mammogram the month before, she knew something was out of the ordinary when she needed to go back to the doctor’s for a biopsy. “After my doctor broke the news, she told me to go home and someone would call me the next day with scheduling treatment. I thought about how all the women I know that had breast cancer immediately had surgery, so I prepared for that,” Chelberg-Burgess said. SEE SCRIPPS, A24

FROM BOND, A1 Elementary School, in Pacific Highlands Ranch. Other schools, however, opened decades ago and need to be updated or completely replaced. Skyline School, for example, is a very different learning environment than Solana Ranch. While Solana Ranch is new and modern Skyline was built in 1955 and modernized in 2000. Skyline opened just one year after the old Earl Warren Middle School across the street, which San Dieguito Union High School District is currently rebuilding with use of its Proposition AA funds, a general obligation bond that passed in 2012. “The master plan that was developed over the last few years really speaks to projects at every school site across the district,” Superintendent Terry Decker said. Aging campuses such as 61-year-old Skyline and 45-year-old Solana Vista need to be redesigned and reconstructed. The district’s Long-Range Facilities Master Plan, however, identifies various modernization projects at every school site, from upgrading classrooms to improving student security. For example, the district needs to replace portable classrooms with permanent buildings. A total of 17 percent of the classrooms in the district are portables, including 68 percent at Solana Vista, 37 percent at
Skyline, 22 percent at Solana Santa Fe and 3 percent at Carmel Creek. The master plan also accounts for the addition of an eighth school in Pacific Highlands Ranch to meet student needs and reduce overcrowding. “This is the one approach to funding that we feel will provide us with what we need in order to reach out across the district and meet all those goals,” Decker said about the bond. After more than a year of preparing for a potential general obligation bond, the Solana Beach school board unanimously voted in August to move forward with the bond measure on the November ballot. Prior to the vote, the board formed a school facilities improvement district. While preparing for a potential bond, the district’s bond counsel discovered a standing agreement between the school district and land developer Pardee Homes that precludes the district from including two neighborhoods in a bond initiative. The development agreements, which date back to 1998 and 2004, contain language that limits certain elections and tax measures until 10 years after the last building permit has been issued. Therefore, in order to move forward with the bond measure, the district formed a school facilities improvement district, or SFID, over all of the district’s territory other
than the Pardee properties in Pacific Highlands Ranch. Both communities are already included in community facilities districts, also known as CFDs, in which special taxes are placed on homeowners’ property tax bills to fund schools and improvements. Thus, residents in those areas will not be allowed to vote on the school district’s bond measure. The projects financed by the SFID will generally be located within and principally benefit the territory within the SFID. Since last school year, district staff members have held more than 30 meetings at school sites and with community groups throughout the district, such as the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board and Friends of the Solana Beach Library. Staff discussed the district’s master plan and the then-potential bond measure. The district continued its outreach efforts after the board placed the bond on the ballot, with additional meetings covering reconstruction and modernization projects the bond would cover. If voters pass the district’s bond, Solana Beach School District plans to start with the reconstruction of Skyline and the modernization of Solana Highlands. District staff plans to submit its plans for these projects to the Division of the State Architect this fall. The Division of State Architect provides design and construction oversight for K-12 schools,

“So that timing would be perfect.” Solana Beach School District isn’t the only school district seeking support in San Diego County. There are seven school districts with bonds on the ballot, including Fallbrook Union High School District, Grossmont Union High School District, Bonsall Unified School District, Cajon Valley Union School District, Cardiff Elementary School District, National School District and Solana Beach School District. In addition, three community college districts in the county — Grossmont-Cuyamaca Community College District, MiraCosta Community College District and Southwestern Community College District — are also asking voters for bond money. “It really is solving the problem that the whole state has in funding school construction,” Brown said about Measure JJ, Solana Beach School District’s bond measure. “School construction dollars at the state level has run out,” she said. “They have $2 billion in approved, unfunded projects. They are going to try to answer part of that question with Proposition 51.” A statewide $9 billion school construction bond called Proposition 51 will also be on the ballot in November. If the statewide bond, passes, school districts will be able to qualify for matching funds for facilities SEE BOND, A26

community colleges, and various other state-owned and leased facilities. “We made the choice as a district to begin the planning process,” Decker said. “We’re investing upfront in the planning so that if the community supports us with a bond, we can move forward with construction. “It puts our children into newer facilities just that much more quickly. It also helps to show our community that we’re very serious about making inroads on these needs and getting things done in a timely manner.” The district would receive its first bond issuance in spring 2017. If plans are approved by spring 2017, construction could begin in June 2017, with the new Skyline to open in fall 2018. Solana Highlands would be modernized over the summer of 2017, with most updates completed by fall 2018. Meanwhile, the district would begin planning for its next round of projects in fall 2017. The district would receive its second bond issuance in spring 2019. Funds would help redesign and reconstruct Solana Vista and modernize Solana Santa Fe. “After that we’re into modernization and smaller projects,” Decker said. “By then, other schools meet their 25-year age and then we can qualify for the 60 percent match on modernization funds,” Brown added.

The Foundation is working to quickly address and fulfill needs on campus and is determined to use dollars raised this year to immediately benefit all students. “We launched several new Pathway classes in this year and the Foundation has been instrumental in purchasing items needed right away to better connect our instruction to current professional standards,” states Rob Coppo, TPHS principal. “The TPHS students in our new Engineering Pathway are already using the two 3D printers provided by the Foundation.” Other items purchased this school year include 40 new Chromebook computers for the Business Pathway, eight camera tripods needed for TV Production, DNA testing materials and other experimental kits for Biotech
classes, as well as ceramic clay, glazes and equipment for the Art Department. “I cannot emphasize enough the positive impact parent donations through the TP Education Fund are having on campus,” says Coppo. “The Foundation is funding valuable learning materials for TPHS students which will have meaningful impact on our Falcons today and into the future.” Classroom items purchased by the Foundation are above and beyond what school, district or state funds can provide. The TPHS Foundation fundraises to bridge the gap and provide the equipment and instructional materials needed for all students at Torrey Pines High School. Without the financial support of the Torrey Pines High School community, these classes and learning opportunities go away. “We are in communication with department heads and TPHS administration to prioritize classroom needs so that we are maximizing our parent donations while meeting the most urgent needs of our students,” states Nicole Baril, TPHS Foundation
executive director. The Foundation has currently raised about one third of the money needed to fully fund the budgeted programs for the 2016-17 school year. “We are grateful for the parent and corporate support we have received this school year, but we still have a long way to go,” states Baril. “We are looking for 100 percent support from our families so that we can fully fund our yearlong programming.” The TP Education Fund concentrates fundraising activities to benefit specific areas at Torrey Pines High School, namely funding the school’s new Pathway Programs which provide students with the technical and academic knowledge they need to be college and career ready. This year TPHS implemented new coursework, including: Biotech, Business and Accounting, TV Production, Computer Science, Culinary Arts and Engineering. These tracks will expose students to more indepth courses which support potential career aspirations. In addition to providing state-of-the-art technology

FROM PATIO, A3 dreamed of.” Del Mar artist Joanne Sharp painted the ground in green and blue, continuing the ocean-scene theme from the front of the building. Karla Deerinck, who serves on the board of the Del Mar Foundation, designed the planters, which create a perimeter around the space. Linda Teague, a founding member of the Del Mar Garden Club, filled the planters with roughly 50 different drought-tolerant plants and decorative pieces made from repurposed materials. “It’s really created a small garden oasis,” Levine said. “I put my heart and soul into it,” Teague said. San Diego County Supervisor Dave Roberts cut the ribbon during the ceremony. The project was made possible with a $20,000 grant from the county’s Community Enhancement Program. The grant covered the shade structure, tables, chairs, plantings and storage space. Leftover funds, Levine said, will help pay for audio and sound equipment so the space can be used for
presentations. “I thought it was a great project,” said Roberts, who comes to the Del Mar Community Building to meet with community members on the third Friday of every month. “I was just so excited to be able to be a part of this. It’s just a perfect community setting.” Founded in 1999, Del Mar Community Connections provides programs and services that allow local seniors to live independently and safely in their homes. The Del Mar Foundation, one of the community’s oldest organizations, was founded in 1982. The nonprofit promotes civic pride and cohesiveness, acquires and preserves open space, improves beaches and parklands, raises and grants funds, and sponsors cultural programs and community events in Del Mar. “We can’t do it all at the county or at the city,” Roberts said. “It’s great nonprofits like DMCC, the foundation and other nonprofits that do the work here in the community to help people age in their homes and in their community and have a great quality of life.”

FROM FORUM, A1 varying answers when asked about their top priorities. Although candidates mostly agreed on some of the other questions asked by audience members, other questions clearly divided candidates. Here’s a look at some of the topics addressed during the forum: Police department Del Mar has contracted with the Sheriff’s Department for law enforcement services since the city’s incorporation in 1959. In recent years, the city has explored its options, including researching the possibility of creating its own police department, due to concerns over the cost of services, the lack of police presence in the community, and the slow response to low-priority calls. There have also been concerns over the rising cost of services. Druker was the only candidate to outright oppose the proposal to end the city’s law enforcement contract with the Sheriff’s Department and build a standalone police department. Instead of creating its own department, he said the city should work with the Sheriff’s Department to improve services. “The added bureaucracy, the potential liability, the potential pension costs, etcetera, could bankrupt this city,” he said. “This is not an issue and this is not something that I would like to be exploring any further at this point.” Benedict, Corti and Stubbs said that they support developing a standalone police department. “We’re not going to go bankrupt. It is a scare tactic,” said Corti, a liaison to the city’s finance committee, which has studied
™
the costs and supported the idea of a standalone department. Benedict serves on the committee. Haviland and Parks both said they need more information before they can make a decision on developing a police department. Measure Q Del Mar voters will voice their opinions on a variety of issues this November. In addition to selecting three candidates to fill three council seats, voters will have their say on two Del Mar initiatives. Measure Q would increase the city’s sales tax by one cent to help cover the costs of various city services and infrastructure projects. A one-cent sales tax increase would generate about $2 million annually for the general fund. The finance committee initially proposed the sales tax increase earlier this year as a way to help pay to underground utility poles throughout the city. The council later decided that revenues could also help pay for other projects, such as implementing the Shores Park master plan and improving streetscapes. Supporters have said the measure would create a way for visitors to help pay for some of the city services and infrastructure. Many local business owners, however, have opposed the measure and argued it would create a burden on local businesses. Five of six candidates said they supported the measure. “This is the single best way of achieving a revenue stream that could give us financial security and allow us to take care of our infrastructure costs,” Corti said. He and the other candidates agreed that the citizens should set the funding

priorities. “Where you want it to be spent is where I will spend it,” he said. Stubbs was the only candidate who admitted he doesn’t want to raise taxes, but said he believes voters will pass the measure. “As far as this election goes, the most important thing you need to address is: How’s the money going to be spent afterwards?” Stubbs asked the audience. “You’re looking at six candidates up here who may have different views as to how that’s done. I, personally, believe the money should be spent how you want it to be spent.” Parks added that the city would establish a citizen’s oversight committee and set up a separate fund to monitor the money. Measure R Five of six candidates said they were against Measure R. Measure R, if passed, would require voter approval for proposed development projects in a commercial zone that are 25,000 square feet or larger, allow a density bonus or require a specific plan or zoning code change. It was driven by opponents of the controversial Watermark project, a 48-unit multifamily complex planned for the corner of Jimmy Durante Boulevard and San Dieguito Drive. The council in July agreed to place the initiative on the November ballot rather than adopt an ordinance they didn’t support. All but one candidate, Druker, said they opposed the initiative. He and other supporters have said that voters should have a say in the community. “I support it vigorously,” Druker said. “The DNA of Del Mar is for us to be able to

vote on major development projects.” Opponents have argued, however, that the measure conflicts with the city’s general plan and state housing regulations. In fact, in a legal analysis of the initiative, Assistant City Attorney Barry Schultz found multiple conflicts with state law. “I support the right to vote; I do not support Measure R,” Haviland said. “Measure R is not about a right to vote,” Corti said. “You have the right to vote on every development that comes across your city through the Design Review Board and the community plan.” Climate Action Plan In June, the council adopted a plan that aims to cut the city’s greenhouse gas emissions in half in less than 20 years. Del Mar’s Climate Action Plan outlines how the city can combat climate change. It serves as a comprehensive roadmap, outlining strategies the city could use to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 15 percent by 2020 and 50 percent by 2035. “The Climate Action Plan is critical to our city,” Parks said. Candidates agreed that the plan is important and the city needs to take steps to make changes. “It sets us out as a leader in the region,” Haviland said. “We need to continue to take the steps needed to implement goals that we can achieve right away, as well as working on the long-term goals.” Benedict said Del Mar needs to work with other cities to combat climate change. Stubbs said he has some concerns about implementing the plan. “I like the fact that this plan is voluntary,” Stubbs said. “That said, I’m concerned SEE FORUM, A20

Coach C Week raises funds for Leukemia & Lymphoma Dine at local restaurants Oct. 31-Nov. 4, walk in 5K on Nov. 5
TPHS coach named Chargers’ Coach of the Week
The Torrey Pines High School Cheer program is hosting C’s Week Oct. 31 through Nov. 4, a week of fundraising for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s student series campaign in memory of “Coach C” Scott Chodorow . The inspirational cheer coach and teacher from Torrey Pines passed away on Nov. 1, 2014 after battling lymphoma for more than a year. Coach C was described by many as the “heart of Torrey Pines,” who had the opportunity to make an impact as a teacher, the school’s ASB advisor and cheer coach for 10 years.
Torrey Pines High football coach Ron Gladnick was named the San Diego Chargers’ Coach of the Week. Gladnick was presented with a $1,500 check by Chargers player Kevin Norwood before Oct. 21’s 21-14 win over Carlsbad. Gladnick was honored after leading the Falcons to an impressive 32-28 win over powerhouse Oceanside High on Oct. 14. With the Coach of the Week program, the Chargers have teamed up with KUSI to recognize high school football coaches who have made a difference in the lives of their players through leadership, hard work and a special dedication to their young scholar athletes.

and is featured on KUSI’s “Prep Pigskin Report.” “In the Avocado West League, we’re not the biggest team, we’re not the most athletic team so we focus on the things we believe we can control,” Gladnick said in the Pigskin Report. “Even against a great school like Oceanside that outweighed us 30 to 40 pounds a man, our kids believed we were the stronger team because we work at that year-round.” The 6-2 Falcons will close the regular season on the road against Mission Hills on Oct. 28 and La Costa Canyon on Nov. 4. -Karen Billing

M C C: S T M MiraCosta College is on the front lines of serving those who have served us. The college has 1,800 active-duty military, military dependents and military veterans enrolled at its campuses and has expanded its already expansive outreach efforts to current and former members of our armed forces. And while many community colleges focus on building the vocational skills of returning servicemen and servicewomen, MiraCosta also is helping veterans transfer to fouryear universities. The most recent example: An Oct. 21 workshop featuring UCLA admissions officials working with veterans and active duty military members who are interested in transferring to the prestigious Westwood campus. UCLA specifically partnered with MiraCosta College because of its extensive outreach to veterans and its large population of students who have served or are serving in the armed forces. “I am a big advocate of outreach to service members and veterans,” said Brendan Duffy, who earned a degree from MiraCosta College in 2006 before transferring to UCLA, and who now works for Major League Baseball’s Advanced Media division in New York. “I think that the community college-to-UC/CSU track is one of the few remaining paths to upward mobility, and members of the military community should do everything they can to take advantage of California’s high quality – and highly subsidized – opportunities. Nowhere else in the country can you take classes for under 50 dollars per unit that will provide you with a direct path to a top-30 research university.” Jerry Borja, a MiraCosta College student whose eight years with the Marine Corps included tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, is planning to transfer to Cal State San Marcos next fall to study nursing. “There are a lot of opportunities here to get you set up to transfer to a four year college or university,” he said. “I work in the Veterans Center on campus and I’ve seen people go to UCSD, San Diego State, USC, UCLA. If you want to get there, MiraCosta College is going to help.” MiraCosta’s dedication to supporting veterans just earned the college
a designation as a Military Friendly School by Victory Media. The college is also known for: • Creating Southern California’s only Veterans Business Outreach Center to support service members from San Diego to Santa Barbara who are leaving the military and embarking on self-employment or entrepreneurship. The Veterans Business Outreach Center is based at the college’s Technology Career Institute in Carlsbad and showcases workshops that provide entrepreneurial training and counseling and assist clients in developing five-year business plans. • Joining with the Veterans Association of North County and Carlsbadbased ViaSat to create a new electronic assembly course benefitting those who are transitioning from the military for jobs as electronic assemblers at an advanced manufacturing company. The course covers 80 hours of instruction, and those who complete the curriculum will earn certification as an electronic assembler. Cost is $300 per person, a fraction of what a similar course would cost if offered by private industry. • Operating a renown High Threat Specialist Program, which was launched in 2012 as a not-for-credit offering targeting Marines returning home from Iraq and Afghanistan who were interested in pursuing a career as a certified armed guard or high threat protection specialist. Over the years, MiraCosta College added a certified AntiTerrorist/Corporate Protection component to their security program, along with a Celebrity Corporate Protection course and a High Threat Protection course, along with a High Risk Medic Class. MiraCosta College also offers an expanded Veterans Service Center complete with resources for student success and counseling, along with a Veterans Memorial Garden. “MiraCosta really is doing a wonderful job in looking out for veterans and active military,” said Borja.

PREPARING STUDENTS TO TRANSFER
As the cost of attending University of California and State University schools rises, more students are starting their education at the community college level. MiraCosta College helps to ensure that students who can’t afford the high price of a university still have the opportunity to succeed in college and careers.
PREPARING STUDENTS FOR CAREERS
MiraCosta College is an essential part of the North County economy. We are a critical partner to local employers in biotech, manufacturing, and other industries that help our area and economy thrive.
SERVING OUR VETERANS
MiraCosta provides job placement, job training and counseling to approximately 1,800 Navy, Marine and other military veterans and their families each year.
COST OF MEASURE MM To continue providing a high-quality education for local students, the MiraCosta Community College District has placed MEASURE MM, a local facilities bond measure, on the ballot this November. The measure may generate $455 million to upgrade our college and will cost approximately $14.99 per $100,000 of assessed value (not market value) per year.
THE MEASURE WOULD PROVIDE LOCALLY-CONTROLLED FUNDING TO: Improve the Veterans Center to provide job training, job placement, counseling and support services Upgrade career training facilities for science, health care, technology and skilled trades Update instructional technology for improved student learning in core subjects like math, science and technology Improve access for students with disabilities Repair or replace leaky roofs, worn-out oors and restrooms, old rusty plumbing and faulty electrical systems Update science centers and labs to allow for state-of-the-art courses in biology, chemistry and physical sciences
FISCAL ACCOUNTABILITY WOULD BE REQUIRED All funds would stay in our community to support our local community college and students No funds could be taken by the State No funds could be spent on salaries or pensions

FROM FORUM, A12 about future councils being saddled with goals that certain people around town feel might be realistic. Some might be unrealistic.” Railroad crossings North County Transit District recently stepped up enforcement against people who cross or walk along the tracks through the coastal corridor. The increased ticketing, NCTD officials said, is to increase safety and comply with federal mandates. Del Mar has only one legal crossing on Coast Boulevard. “We need a change,” Benedict said. All the candidates said they want to work with NCTD to add legal crossings. Most also said the city should work with NCTD to remove the tracks from the bluffs. “Ultimately, we need to figure out how to get the train off the bluff,” Druker said. “It doesn’t belong there. In order to double-track it, it would be terrible.” “There are no easy solutions,” Haviland said. “There is no quick fix to the problem.” Druker, who previously served on the council from 1996 to 2008, said he was the only candidate who was able to get federal and state funds for infrastructure projects, causing dissention among some of the
tournament championship. Carly Larkin (#66-setter) was named to the All Tournament Team and Sophia Chen (#65-libero) was named Tournament MVP!! Congratulations to the whole team!
candidates. “If that is what we need to get, then please elect me so that we can get those,” he said. “If the community wants safe pedestrian crossings across that track, we can accomplish it,” Corti said. “I will not just talk about it. We can accomplish it.” “I don’t know what it means that he’s the only person to do anything because I haven’t had a shot at it, and there’s a few other folks up here who haven’t had a shot at federal funding,” Stubbs said in response to Druker’s statement. “If I sat for 12 years on the City Council, I would have gotten something done besides telling the Sheriff not to hand out tickets.” Downtown revitalization When asked about the most critical issue inhibiting downtown revitalization, Haviland said property owners do not currently have incentives to upgrade their properties. “There are various ways that we can try and tackle this problem,” she said. Druker proposed changing the zoning from 8th Street to 12th Street to allow for more mixed-use, without changing floor area ratio and height limitations. “Major problems with revitalization is anti-growth, anti-development mentality and all of the regulations that go along with it,” Corti said. “It is
difficult to impossible to get anything approved on the commercial district in downtown. Measure B only makes it more difficult.” He added that he was in favor of additional parking at the new city hall, streetscape improvements, and a single lane in each direction, all of which he said would improve downtown. Stubbs said he posted a multi-step action plan on his website for a “vibrant downtown.” “If we say that we can believe in a bigger, better town, it will come,” Stubbs said. “We will have investments in this town.” Parks said she has met with representatives from the Del Mar Plaza in the past to try and come up with solutions to increase business. By this question, Benedict had left the forum as he had a prior commitment and had to leave a half-hour early. Other issues Council candidates discussed how to help the Del Mar Plaza, how they would select advisory committee members, how to develop Shores Park, and how to regulate short-term rentals. Among other issues, in a lightening round, candidates also shared their thoughts about roundabouts, gun shows at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, immigrants and affordable housing.
The San Diego Mustangs youth rugby club begins its 13th season in North County next month. The highly successful club plays youth rugby – the fastest growing team sport in America –and has teams for girls and boys aged 6 to 18. The Mustangs are conducting a free rugby demonstration day at Ocean Air Park, 4770 Fairport Way, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 13. New players are welcome to come out and get instruction from leading coaches, including Matt Hawkins, former Captain and Coach of the USA 7’s. Activities will include all the fundamental skills such as passing, evasive running and tackling drills. Throughout the day, touch rugby will be played for each age group with the U8s starting at 9.20am. A demonstration touch game will be held at 11.30 a.m. with the U18 team taking on their coaches. Rugby is expanding rapidly across Southern California with over 50 high schools now having rugby as an ASB club sport and around 20 having girls rugby. The Mustangs run one of the largest youth programs in SoCal and have garnered a national reputation for producing high caliber rugby players and teams. Success on the field for the U18 team has led to college opportunities for a number of Mustangs alumni with players from the last few years going to college rugby programs at West Point, Cal Berkeley, Saint Mary’s and University of Arizona to name a few. All of the Mustang coaches are nationally trained and certified, and pass stringent safety and background
checks. The Mustangs has a rigorous “Coaches Coach” program run by Matt Hawkins, former coach and captain of the USA 7’s national team. Hawkins, who founded and runs a youth rugby academy –The Institute of Rugby – has both his sons playing with the U8 and U10 Mustangs. “The Mustangs Club has a philosophy of teaching the basic skills in a fun and safe environment. It is these core skills learned from a young age that provide the platform for young ruggers to reach their potential and take advantage of the many college opportunities that exist in rugby today.” Rugby 7’s, which the Mustangs have as a summer program, was recently played at the Rio Olympics with the USA finishing 5th and 9th for the women and men respectively. President David Pool commented, “Rugby has grown rapidly as a youth sport – the exposure at the Olympics along with having a PRO Rugby team in San Diego has provided the opportunity to see rugby played at a high level as well as enjoy this fast, fun game on a Saturday with your friends.” Torrey Pines, Canyon Crest and Cathedral Catholic, and many other local high schools now play rugby as an ASB club sport. Do not miss the opportunity to expose your young athletes to this fun, exciting sport right here in your own neighborhood.

OUR READERS WRITE A ‘yes’ vote on Prop MM a no-brainer A “Yes” vote on Prop MM is smart citizenship because community colleges have proven to be cost-effective, inclusive, and effective. In my case, I don’t think I could have achieved my educational goals without it. When I left high school after sophomore year, I started on an unconventional road towards a university diploma that would not have been possible without MiraCosta College. Even though I wanted other experiences before going back to school full-time, my ultimate goal was a bachelor’s degree. Fortunately, I was able to enroll part-time at MiraCosta at age 16, and, for the next three years, I combined education, travel and work until I was ready-and-able to transfer to UC Santa Barbara as a junior, ultimately graduating with Highest Honors. At the time, I think most people were not convinced that I would succeed. And who could blame them? The prevailing narrative about college is that only one path leads to success. Fortunately, it turns out that community college is another path to many different types of higher education. The quality of the teachers, the flexibility of the schedule, and the affordability of enrollment kept me engaged while allowing me to navigate my own course. If our community is at its best when everyone has access to higher education, then support for community colleges is vitally important. Vote “Yes” on Prop MM and help MiraCosta improve its capacity to serve the students in our own neighborhoods. It’s a no-brainer. Chris Goldsmith President, Belly Up Entertainment Grammy Award-winning producer
No oversight? No new taxes, No on Q In the 18 years I have lived in Del Mar, it never ceases to amaze me the absolute disregard that city politicians have had, over time, for the actual welfare of the city’s residents and businesses. With all the debt the city council has taken on with the new City Hall (more than $17 million?) and the continual increase in all of our costs (city salaries, pensions, water, etc.), we need to say No on Q and kill the 1 percent sales tax. Why? For several reasons. There is no oversight on how this $1-$2 million can be spent in the future. None. That’s crazy. The business owners in the city are constantly talking about ways to bring more people to Del Mar to have a more healthy town. Increasing the cost to buy products or services in Del Mar will cost us more in bad PR and lost revenue. And how weird is it that the politicians tell us to support local businesses and then raise the taxes? If we approve the tax, we will have one of the highest sale taxes in North County. In the past 15 years, the so-called leaders and politicians in Del Mar have tried a number of ways to increase taxes. They tried to create 1 percent transfer tax on real estate. Defeated. They tried to create a movement to get residents to pay crazy amounts of money to underground utility wires. Defeated. Lets send another message to irresponsible politicians who want to increase our taxes yet again. Defeat measure Q. No new taxes! Bernhard Schroeder Del Mar
Reject Measure R The promises of Measure R to let us vote pale when we realize all of the intended and unintended consequences of this badly flawed initiative. Voters need to know that the vote option is already legally available with a simple referendum petition of 10 percent of the voters! The most important consequence of Measure R is legal complication. Our City Attorney states explicitly that it “conflicts with state law.” Del Mar has already been served with a formal notice of intended lawsuit if Measure R passes. It is inevitable that
we will spend tax money to go to court to sort it out and even run the risk of the court taking over part of our zoning authority — ironically a right to vote initiative resulting in loss of local control. Measure R is modeled after the Encinitas initiative which, according to officials, has cost an enormous amount of public funds in their attempt to implement its cumbersome provisions. Encinitas also faces the threat of litigation. Their initiative interferes with many otherwise ordinary functions of government, requiring voter approval of minor changes such as park light pole heights, shade awnings at a children’s center, and repurposing of an old fire station. It is just plain bad government. Measure R was conceived by opponents of Watermark, a project not yet reviewed or approved by the city, a project that could easily be brought to a referendum vote. It is a classic case of NIMBYism but this is NIMBY ON steroids. And the rest of Del Mar becomes collateral damage. Why inflict this train wreck on ourselves. We need to vote against the foolishness of Measure R. Bud Emerson Del Mar
There is no choice As a published letter on Oct. 20 stated, facts are indeed relevant regarding the misnamed Community Choice Aggregation. First, there is no choice. All residents are forced to initially join, should only three city council members choose to enter the electric utility business. Subsequent to being forced to join, a customer can follow a yet to be determined process and cost to exit the collective. Proponents of CCA’s know that allowing residents to choose to join, versus being forced to join, will be “lethal” to CCA success (ref: bit.ly/ccaanalysis, page 66). Apparently the merits of a CCA fail to attract value-oriented customers; hence forced membership is initially required for any chance of success. As to the city being only in an exploratory mode, I find that view short sighted. Once the city selects a contractor to begin the evaluation, no further proposals, negotiations, or decisive citizen input is required. The council through a simple majority vote can impose the CCA on the city. The proposals solicited by the city include operating a CCA, hence no new pricing, terms or conditions are needed to simply accept the contractor’s position. The state enabling legislation, AB 117, states a public process, including citizen/customer involvement, is also required. But no mandatory votes or agreement from the affected citizens, merely some communication, however that shall be defined. Hence the city council can, entirely on its own, choose to expand government intrusion into commerce further than exists today. Regarding the comment on competition, I find that specious nonsense. SDG&E is investor owned, operating under government regulation on costs, profit margin, and I suspect reserves. I am opposed to any government-created monopoly; however, private capital invested in SDG&E does serve as a mitigating factor for performance failure. How a purely government-created entity like a CCA, with taxpayers funding and guaranteeing whatever financial obligations are incurred, can be called competition is beyond my understanding. Add that the CCA will initially force customers away from SDG&E, and you have no competition at all. SDG&E remains in place, and in fact the CCA cannot exist without SDG&E, so we have layered a new monopoly on an existing monopoly. A CCA forces people to join, has taxpayer deep pockets to fund the operation, and cannot exist on its own merits or resources, instead requiring the enabling legislation’s use of force. This is not a “good deal,” based on the merits. Instead, it is forcing a particular morality on the public, which is environmentalism opposed to fossil fuel use. Government has no proper role in choosing to promote one particular morality or technology over another. That is properly left to individuals making choices based on their values.

Education Matters BY MARSHA SUTTON, OPINION
The rest of the SOUL story
T
he surprising thing about the vote to deny the SOUL charter school petition is that there was definitely the sense that San Dieguito school board members were inclined to support it. When the founders of the school spoke to the board before the Oct. 13 vote and clearly said they would not accept conditional approval, trustees seemed somewhat perplexed. Because the district offered only two choices to board members – conditional approval or denial – trustees felt they were left with no choice but to deny the petition. And that, even more bewilderingly, seemed to be fine with the founders. SOUL co-founders Marisa Bruyneel and Michael Grimes submitted a 200-page petition to the San Dieguito Union High School District for the district’s review on Sept. 1. The extensive document covered the school’s educational vision and mission, details on curriculum and instruction, teaching methodologies, funding and budget projections, goals for student outcomes, assessment, governance, human resources and other operational elements. The district, led by Interim Superintendent Eric Dill, performed an exhaustive review of the proposal. Each of the four associate superintendents took a portion of the proposal and examined the sections related to human resources, business, administration and curriculum. Based on their findings, the district presented board members with the two options, denial or conditional approval, and offered 10 pages of support material for each. Full approval was the third option but that was not recommended by the district. Dill’s proposed resolution to support conditional approval stated in part, “although district staff has identified concerns related to the SOUL Charter School’s proposed program and operations, the board supports educational innovation and reform, including the formation and successful administration of charter schools, and desires to give the petitioners an opportunity to resolve the concerns identified herein.” Concerns mostly centered around uncertainty that the
educational program would be successfully implemented. Yet the wording of the conditional approval resolution was gracious, positive and encouraging. Terminology So what went wrong? Miles Durfee suggested that it could have been a simple matter of confusion over terms. “When you say ‘conditional approval’ and ‘approval with conditions,’ people think they’re the same thing,” Durfee said. “There’s a distinction though. One means you’re approved and one means you’re not.” Durfee, who is the Southern California Managing Regional Director of the California Charter Schools Association, said the terms are used interchangeably but are not interchangeable. “‘Conditional approval’ means you’re not approved and it means the school can’t move forward in any fashion as if it were approved,” Durfee said. That means the school can’t sign lease agreements, get established with the California Department of Education to initiate funding, or complete other necessary paperwork that’s required to create a school. Essentially, Durfee is saying that there is no such option as conditional approval: School boards must either approve or deny a charter school petition. “Under the Charter Schools Act and California Supreme Court case law, the proposed ‘conditional approval’ of the charter is not a legal course of action,” states a letter to the district from Procopio, a San Diego law firm, on behalf of the SOUL charter school. Procopio’s letter continues: “At the local authorizer level under Education Code section 47605(b), charter petitions are either ‘granted’ or ‘denied.’” Dill, however, said conditional approval has been used by other school districts before, as has even the Calif. Dept. of Education, and it is a viable option. “We didn’t make it up,” he said. “It’s not something we created.” The district’s legal counsel for this matter was Fagen Friedman & Fulfrost, based in Carlsbad. Dill said he relied on their advice and knowledge of charter school law in evaluating the SOUL petition and structuring the district’s options.
Authorizing a charter school means the district has specific oversight responsibilities. Since this is the first time San Dieguito has been presented with a charter school petition, Dill said attorneys were consulted to help him, his staff and board members understand legal ramifications and requirements. “Authorization without conditions was not an option for us,” Dill concluded. Not vindictive “Approval with conditions,” however, is different, and means the school can move forward with the process, Durfee said. A Memorandum of Understanding is then worked out afterwards. And there’s the problem from the district’s standpoint. An MOU is negotiated by both parties, and Dill said he was not comfortable with that. “To say ‘let’s iron out some details later’ doesn’t work,” he said, adding that the petition raised major questions and an MOU addresses minor issues. “I think this [conditional approval] was a much more humane way to go,” Dill said. “It would have allowed us to do the work upfront.” Durfee had a different view. “An alternative look would be that it should be a fair discussion about how are we doing as a partnership,” he said, explaining that the two parties would be negotiating on equal terms in crafting an MOU. “What I hear him saying is, ‘we want that ability to get everything we want,’” Durfee said. “That’s not what the law implies or intends. It’s not a process for the district to further control once the school is approved.” Durfee said he did not believe the district was being vindictive and said he understands that they want to run the school as if it were their school. But charter schools are run independently and not like a district’s regular public school. Praise all around A second objection, raised in both the Procopio letter and a letter from Durfee to the district, states that the district’s resolution for conditional approval grants San Dieguito’s superintendent the final authority to approve or deny the charter petition – and to do so as late as April 2017. “Our attorneys [at the California Charter Schools Association] feel that delegation of authority is not legal,” Durfee said. But Dill, relying on legal advice, said the CCSA is citing case law from the 1970s that has since been revised. “Now we have ‘permissive authority’ which means the board and school district can do anything unless specifically prohibited in California’s
Education Code,” Dill said, adding that this position has been “legally verified.” In what I assumed would be a simple request, I asked to see the legal language from San Dieguito’s attorneys supporting this. But Dill surprised me by refusing. “I cannot share with you any privileged attorney-client communication,” he said in an email. I’ve often received correspondence from school district attorneys on non-controversial items like this, so I’m in a bit of an argument with Dill over his decision to withhold this legal opinion. All he would say is, “We engaged legal counsel who are quite familiar with charter school law and I was comfortable with their advice.” Procopio calls granting the superintendent final authority to approve or deny “an improper delegation of the Board of Trustees’ duties,” stating that, by law, only “the governing board of the school district shall either grant or deny the charter.” This statement would seem to be saying two things: one, that the superintendent does not have the authority to grant or deny the charter; and two, that the only two options are to grant or deny. Without seeing the language from the school district’s legal advisers, it’s difficult to balance this position. Late letters The letters from Procopio and Durfee were not received until the morning of the Oct. 13 board meeting when trustees were to vote on the petition. So why were the letters sent so late when the district had been talking publicly about conditional approval (not “approval with conditions”) for over a month? Dill agreed that the board, in discussing the petition publicly, had been speaking about conditional approval as an option for some time. But Durfee disagreed. “The idea of conditional approval was not something I ever heard,” Durfee said. “I heard approval with conditions, not conditional approval.” Dill said it was difficult to speculate on what might have happened had the letters been received sooner and been more timely. All parties agreed that San Dieguito has exceptional schools, and there was praise all around for the work being done in the district. “We acknowledge your schools have already forged a path of excellence,” SOUL co-founder Bruyneel said to the board at the Oct. 13 meeting. Grimes said SOUL would be giving the district an opportunity to add another exceptional school
to its options. But both Bruyneel and Grimes said students deserve choices and not every school meets every student’s individual needs. They both said they were unable to accept conditional approval. “We have met all legal requirements,” Grimes said. “We know that SOUL is going to succeed.” Dill said the district did a thorough analysis (not easy, given all the regular work they do on a daily basis) and there was enough there to warrant a denial. Smiles and handshakes Although the decision was made to deny the charter’s petition, there was no anger or incivility. Board members and district staff all agreed the co-founders have passion, enthusiasm and best intentions. And the SOUL co-founders graciously thanked the district for its time and its work to review the proposal. Dill said all discussions with the SOUL organizers and supporters have been cordial, and no one questions their passion and determination to start the school. Regarding the different interpretations of the law, Dill said both sides checked with attorneys. “They can have their opinion and we can have ours,” he said. But through it all there were smiles and handshakes and appreciation for each other. Even the teachers union president, Bob Croft, who has been outspoken recently on election issues, said in an informal interview last month that “there’s always an initial concern” with charter schools, but added, “I trust in our board to make the right decision.” Despite the denial, SOUL, which stands for the School of Universal Learning, is not done. Grimes and Bruyneel intend to submit their petition to the San Diego County Office of Education for authorization, as the next step up the line. Grimes said he’s hoping to present to SDCOE on Nov. 2. Should SDCOE approve the charter, Grimes said the school would still be located within San Dieguito’s boundaries. “It’s always been our goal to open in Encinitas, that’s not going to change,” Grimes said. With SOUL submitting its petition to the county next, organizers and supporters remain upbeat. “We’re confident that the petitioners have met the law requirements and they can run a successful program,” Durfee said. “We’re confident they’ll get approved.” - Sr. Education Writer Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.

FROM SCRIPPS, A5 But Scripps had other plans. Rather than scheduling surgery, Scripps prescribed Chelberg-Burgess a chemotherapy treatment and a drug specific to her cancer. The HER-2 gene she carries can cause breast cancer cells to grow at an accelerated rate. The drug would block the HER-2 gene’s receptors from receiving growth signals, and shrink the tumor before any surgery to minimize the amount of healthy surrounding tissue that would need to be removed. “Doctors said this similar treatment was used on someone who had a tumor the size of a small orange, and it shrunk down to the size of a coin before the surgery,” she explained. “That sounded good to me.” After every scan possible to determine the cancer had not spread anywhere else, Chelberg-Burgess began chemotherapy treatment. “I had every side effect you could get, so Week One was awful,” she said. “Week Two was OK, and by Week Three you feel sort of normal – making lunch dates, calling people, etc. ... In my free time, I went to a wig shop and intended to look around, but I just cried. I was preemptively mourning the loss of my long blonde hair,” she said. A month later, her hair started to fall out, and she shaved her head in June. To keep herself positive and enjoying life, Chelberg-Burgess said she regularly boogie boarded at La Jolla Shores. “I love everything about boogie boarding, it’s just you and the wave and the water,” she said. “You can forget all of your worries when you’re out in the ocean. It really kept me going.” On July 22, her medical team was ready to surgically remove whatever was left of her 3-centimeter tumor. “When my surgeon (Pamela Kurtzhals) went in to remove the tumor, it had just melted away. It was just gone,” she said. “This is the best case scenario outcome and what they hope happens to women with my type of cancer, but it would not be the case for all types of cancer.” Following the surgery, her tissues and lymph nodes were checked and she was cancer free. Still, she continued to receive targeted rounds of radiation to minimize the chance of resurgence. “When I was declared cancer free, my friends asked me why I was still going in for radiation. Dr. Ray Lin told me the chance of recurrence, if you don’t, is up to 40 percent, so why wouldn’t you? Plus, after chemo, surgery and radiation are nothing,” she said. Of Chelberg-Burgess Dr. Lin said, “She’s a delightful patient to care for. She has a positive attitude and wonderful, generous spirit. She was cared for by our Scripps multimodality breast cancer team, including a medical oncologist, surgeon and radiation therapist. … Thankfully, she had an excellent response to therapy. She is now a breast cancer survivor!” He added that Chelberg-Burgess’ healthy diet and her exercise plan contributed to her being receptive to treatment. “She tolerated treatments better than expected because she was fit and healthy to begin with.” Celebrating with her medical team, Chelberg-Burgess received her last radiation treatment Oct. 6 and smiled

Women should have a mammogram every year — not every three years, not every five years, every year. My tumor was found during my yearly mammogram and I’m sure glad I didn’t delay my screening,” she said. “I meet women that say they don’t go because it hurts, I tell them dying hurts! Chemo hurts! You have to take care of yourself and be an advocate for yourself. You have to go. Your life depends on it. You always think it is going to be someone else, but one day, it could be you.”

Winston School student rides 129 waves for charity
R
iley Santos, a 16-year-old Winston School sophomore, has tackled many challenges in his life. His latest accomplishment –spending more than nine hours surfing wave after wave at Mission Beach to raise money for charity. As a result of surfing 129 waves in a single day, Santos raised $1,527 for Boys to Men, an organization that provides mentoring for fatherless and at-risk teen boys. Santos and some friends rode the waves for the organization’s recent 100 Wave Challenge. “It was really fun, and it’s great raising money for this important organization,” Santos said. “Boys need dads and other mentors to help stay away from drugs and have a good life.” An avid surfer, Santos said his friends were up for the challenge, and when he heard about it, he was too. Santos surfs most days in the mornings or after
FROM REVIEW, A1 committee now that its work is completed. Going forward, the board directed general manager Mike Bardin to provide twice-yearly security updates. Smerican, in an interview after the meeting, said he could not discuss any of the specific recommendations made by the committee, or the costs associated with any updated security measures. “It would be foolish to discuss your security measures in public, it would defeat what you are doing,” Smerican said. But he would say that the review undertaken by the committee involved all aspects of district operations,
school, and said he enjoys the fact that every day is a new surfing experience. “The waves and surf conditions are different every day, and there are so many fun things you can do on a board, including switch foot,” Santos said. Santos started surfing about two and a half years, when his dad and friends grabbed their boards and ran in the water. He followed along and has been hooked ever since. A true water lover, he also enjoys fishing and sailing. Santos, whose favorite academic subject is biology, has been at the Winston School for three years. He said he enjoys the school’s smaller classes and the ability to get support when needed. Last year, he gave a presentation to the student body about surfing. Santos said he’s looking forward to participating in the 100 Wave Challenge again next year.
including cyber security and security of physical facilities. The district provides water to residents of Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch, and its facilities include reservoirs, pipelines, pumping stations and treatment plants. Smerican was elected to the Santa Fe board in 2012, and one of his campaign promises was to beef up the district’s security. He said he had observed no specific security lapse that made him feel the review was needed. “It’s what I didn’t see, the procedures that I felt should be in place, the things I dealt with my whole career and I didn’t see it there,” Smerican said. Over the past year, he said, attitudes
toward security issues have changed for the better within the district, from the board of directors down through the ranks of employees. The issue is now in the forefront with the board of directors, management and workers, who have formed their own committees to deal with security issues, he said. In his remarks at the board meeting, Smerican said the security review may pay additional dividends through cost savings and improvements in efficiency. “It forces you to think about why you do certain things. It forces you to rethink your operations,” Smerican said. The ad hoc committee completed its
American Red Cross needs blood donors The American Red Cross encourages eligible donors to give blood to help stock the shelves before the busy holiday season. Many regular donors delay giving between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day because of holiday activities. This often causes a drop in donated blood available for patients. Therefore, more donations are needed in the weeks leading up to the holidays to help ensure the blood supply is sufficient through the winter months. For blood donor Katie Osorio, giving a little bit of time is worth it because she’s giving someone a chance at life.
“Someone’s mother, brother, sister, father or the love of someone’s life has been given back to their loved ones all because I gave something that I could. It takes so little from me and gives a world back to another.” To make an appointment to give blood, download the Red Cross Blood Donor App, visit redcrossblood.org or call 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). Donors are encouraged to make appointments and complete the RapidPass online health history questionnaire at redcrossblood.org/rapidpass to save time when donating.

task as Smerican - whose four-year term ends in December - is about to step down from the board, since he opted not to run for another term. He said he believes the security overhaul is one of the biggest accomplishments of his tenure on the board, and that he is confident that security will continue to be a priority once he leaves the board. “I’ve seen the change in attitude in the past year,” he said. Bardin said the commitment to focus on security will continue after Smerican leaves the board. “The importance of maintaining a strong security posture in the water sector will continue to be a district and industry priority,” Bardin said.

Greensky Bluegrass returns to Solana Beach on Nov. 2 Greensky Bluegrass is set to return to Solana Beach Nov. 2 at the Belly Up. For more than 15 years, Greensky Bluegrass has created its own version of bluegrass music, mixing the acoustic stomp of a stringband with the rule-breaking spirit of rock ‘n’ roll. The band redefined that sound once again with their sixth album, “Shouted, Written Down & Quoted,” which was released Sept. 23. This release is the follow-up to 2014’s “If Sorrows Swim,” which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Top Bluegrass Albums chart, and comes on the heels of sold-out shows this summer at Red Rocks Amphitheatre, The Ryman Auditorium, and a closing performance at this year’s Telluride Bluegrass Festival.

FROM FUNDS, A1 allocate funds to the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito. Celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito serves more than 6,000 members in San Dieguito and impacts over 10,000 youth across San Diego County every year. The nonprofit has seven clubhouses throughout Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Encinitas and Solana Beach, where there are two sites: the Barbara Harper Branch on Lomas Santa Fe Drive and the La Colonia Branch on Valley Avenue. Blake Johnson, development director of the Boys and Girls Clubs of San Dieguito, said that Community Development Block Grant funds will help support the La Colonia site in Eden Gardens, where the organization serves 110 youth. “We serve as a social safety net there for their families as well as their younger siblings,” Johnson said. With an annual budget of $190,000 for the branch, the organization offers a variety of
programs, including college and career readiness nights, leaders in training programs, money matters and financial literacy programs and homework power hour. “These are the kinds of opportunities that we want to continue to see happen over the next years and we want to serve more youth,” Johnson said. The city has provided funding to both the Boys and Girls Clubs of San Dieguito and Community Resource Center through its annual Community Grant Program. Last year, the city awarded Community Resource Center a $5,000 grant, while the Boys and Girls Clubs of San Dieguito received $2,000. Initially, the council considered splitting the funds between both organizations, but Rebecca Palmer, director of programs for Community Resource Center, expressed some hesitancy to complete the extra paperwork and go through an audit with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development for an award less than $7,000.
FROM MEASURES E-H, A2 Measure F is the result of a suggestion from the Deputy City Attorneys Association of San Diego. The charter amendment would reduce the probationary period from two years to one year for the deputy city attorney. “It’s pretty straightforward. You should know within a year if someone’s working out or not,” Lightner said. Measure G is the Citizen’s Review Board on Police Practices, the body that evaluates complaints brought by the public on misconduct of the San Diego Police Department. The measure changes the name of the board to the Community Review Board on Police Practices and it gives the mayor and council joint oversight of the board and joint power to appoint its members.
FROM ROBERTS, GASPAR, A2 Roberts, the sole Democrat on the board, is running on his attendance record at hundreds of community meetings, his assignment to committees and government boards, and the times he’s teamed up with other supervisors to develop social service programs. He works well with people around the state, he said, and because of his collaborative nature he and his four colleagues on the board almost always unanimously approve legislation. His last four years in office show he’s good for four more, he said. “Just look at what (Supervisor) Dianne Jacob and I have done on mental health in the last four years,” he said. And it was a group effort to improve programs for young people in the justice system, and handle an influx of offenders in the community from state prisons to local jails. “The Board of Supervisors works very well to make sure we give the tools and resources to our public safety folks,” he said. He has criticized Gaspar for split votes on the Encinitas City Council, a political division he says shows his opponent doesn’t know how to collaborate and iron out disagreements. “She said she couldn’t get anything accomplished because it’s a 3-2 council … Look at all that I’ve gotten accomplished in four years because I worked with my colleagues,” Roberts said. Supervisor offices are technically non-partisan, but election politics often
“They made a recommendation to organizations to try to not go below $7,000 in order to vendor this, because there’s a burden on their end as well,” said Palmer, adding that she didn’t want to say “no” to the opportunity. Staff also noted that Community Resource Center has consistently received $5,000 for its holiday basket program through the Community Grant Program for the past four years, while the grant amount has varied for the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito. Applications are currently being accepted for the city’s annual Community Grant Program, which provides funding to non-governmental, nonprofit groups serving Solana Beach and its residents. The city has a total of $25,000 available for community organizations. Each organization can submit up to two applications. Grants will be awarded with a maximum award of $5,000. The deadline to submit applications is 5 p.m. on Oct. 31. Council will review all eligible applications in November.
“It also adds to the charter that the review board will review all cases of in-custody deaths and all officer-related shootings,” Lightner said. “It will help with the transparency and accountability for the police department. “ Lightner said Measure H is one that they are most excited about at the city, as it has to do with purchasing and contracting. The measure amends the language to save the city time and money, requiring contracts for public works, goods, services and consultants be awarded through a competitive process. “This is to streamline what’s in the charter; it simplifies it,” Lightner said. “It does give us greater flexibility when we deal with goods and services. It still retains the clear restrictions for elected officials and city staffers to avoid any conflict of interest in purchasing and contracting.”
follow party lines. Gaspar said she votes with her colleagues in Encinitas around 90 percent of the time, and while Democrats have a voter registration advantage, her constituents elected her, a Republican. Gaspar is running on her experience as the chief financial officer of a physical therapy firm she runs with her husband, a job that she says has afforded her business sense to help the county set long-term goals and run efficiently. Gaspar said she wants to introduce greater accountability measures into government programs to make sure that they meet goals. The chief administrative officer does an exemplary job managing county business, she said, but with metrics in place it will be easier to evaluate the value of various programs and services. “Until we put accountability programs in place, we can’t say if we are deploying our resources appropriately,” Gaspar said. “My operational style is not one of micromanaging, but at the same time, I want to see programs that are accountable,” she later added. She’s also running on the fact that she’s not Dave Roberts. Last year, four women abruptly resigned from the supervisor’s office and accused their boss of having his staff do political work on county time and that Roberts had an improper but non-sexual relationship with an employee. Three women filed formal claims that the county later settled for $310,000. “All of these things, as a business person, would have put me out of business,” she said.
FROM BOND, A6 projects. Solana Beach School District would be eligible for $20 million in matching funds so its $105 million could turn into $125 million. “It’s something to add to our pot,” Brown said. Under Proposition 39, general obligation bonds require a 55 percent voter approval and limit tax rates to $30 per $100,000 in assessed home value. If passed, the bond would represent an increase of $272 per year for the average homeowner in the Solana Beach School District. “These funds will be used for construction, reconstruction and modernization,” Decker explained during the August school board meeting. “All the funds stay local. The state cannot reach in and take out any of the funds from a local school bond. The funds will not be used to fund either teacher or administrator salaries.” As part of that transparency, Prop 39 also requires an independent oversight committee of citizens. In addition, there are annual reports and audits that will come before the board. “There’s really two layers of oversight,” Decker said. If the bond passes, the district will have 60 days to establish the committee of citizens, following the certification of the election results.
The amendment also makes the rules the same as state law to avoid any confusion and eliminates a lot of old language as well. “I think one of the reasons why everyone is so excited is that it will allow us to go with the best value for the taxpayer instead of the ‘lowest responsible bidder’ which has been a problem with other projects in the city,” Lightner said. On the actual ballots, Lightner offered a reminder that voters use appropriate equipment when filling it out — a ballpoint pen not a felt-tip pen and double checking to make sure the ballot has not experienced any bleed-through. It has been discovered that in some cases, if a felt-tip pen is used to vote yes on E it bleeds through to mark a no on Measure K. “And please,” Lightner stressed to voters. “Vote all the way down the ballot.”
“My leadership style is one of collaboration. I treat people with respect and autonomy.” For most of the election season, Roberts has had to defend himself against attacks based on the scandal. Gaspar brought it up twice at a recent forum hosted by the San Diego Farm Bureau. “Unfortunately, due to Mr. Roberts’ behavior, he immediately disqualified himself from serving,” Gaspar said. Gaspar’s campaign recently launched a “Hall of Shame” website that features Roberts alongside former disgraced San Diego Mayor Bob Filner and former Rep. Duke Cunningham, who was sent to prison in a bribery scandal. Roberts has started to fight back. He’s criticized Gaspar for supporting Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump, saying that shows she’s not a moderate but an extremist. Since the primary, Gaspar has said that Trump lost her support. And Roberts said Gaspar will bend to special interests, and noted that the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, the Lincoln Club, and a consortium of developers spent heavily to help his opponent get elected. “People don’t give over a half-million dollars and don’t expect something in return,” Roberts said. Records show that two campaign committees backing Gaspar have contributed over $640,000. Gaspar said she’ll scrutinize any project and won’t green-light a development unless all the harmful impacts are neutralized. Gaspar and Roberts have both declined to
say how they will vote on Measure B, a ballot item that would amend the county’s general plan and zoning to allow for the 1,746-home Lilac Hills Ranch development. Currently the land is zoned for up to 110 homes. Both candidates said that complex land use decisions are best left in the hands of county supervisors, who have had the time to study the nuances and fine details of urban planning and development. Roberts has not taken a position on Measure A, a ballot item that will raise the county sales taxes by a half cent in order to partially fund transportation and infrastructure projects for four decades. Gaspar is opposed to the measure. The contest to represent District 3, an area that runs from northern San Diego up the coast to Encinitas, and encompasses Escondido, Rancho Bernardo, Scripps Ranch, Carmel Mountain, Tierrasanta and other areas, has been one of the more-watched local races this year. Around 90 percent of the district is in an incorporated city that provides public safety and public works services and sets land use policies. But the supervisor is part of a five-member board that’s responsible for a $5.4 billion budget, countywide social services and public health initiatives, emergency responses, among other things. They also set land use policy, shaping unincorporated areas of the county that are largely outside their district but could still have impact on traffic, the environment, water and other issues within their area. — Joshua Stewart writes for The San Diego Union-Tribune

Classic themes show through CCA’s modern take on Romeo and Juliet
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY CHRIS SAUR William Shakespeare would not recognize some aspects of the upcoming Canyon Crest Academy Envision Theater presentation of Romeo and Juliet, as director Steve Lipinsky has chosen to set it in modern times complete with texting, tweeting and punk music during the transitions. Still, the backbone of the play, Shakespeare’s poignant language, isn’t changed because it doesn’t need to. “This story is so relevant today, when it comes to relationships, insecurities, parents trying to tell kids what they can and can’t do and trying to do the right thing,” said Lipinsky, whose version opens Oct. 28 for a five-night run at Proscenium Theater on the CCA campus. “Juliet and Romeo find each other at a time when they need someone to understand them, and that’s what we are all looking for — even as adults — trying to find that person who sees us for who we are and accepts us for who we are.” Lipinsky, 42, is a guest artist directing his third play at CCA. A San Diego native who spent many years as an equity theater actor, he has been teaching acting for the past 19 years. He teaches at Canyon Crest, privately and has previously worked as the head acting coach at the San Diego Shakespeare Society and with
the North Coast Rep Theatre School. “(For this job) I am teaching Shakespeare, I’m putting on a play, but I also see it as an excuse to teach confidence,” Lipinksy said. “These kids are going into the world and they may not become actors, but if they can stand on a stage and say these things with confidence, you can use that anywhere.” While the content is relatable today, that relatability is enhanced by Lipinsky’s use of modern technology, an idea that came from his 23-year-old cousin and is being integrated correctly into the play thanks largely to assistant director Constantine Mickens, who graduated from CCA last year. “They are using their cell phones, they are texting, they are tweeting,” Lipinsky explained. “We have some of those (texts/tweets) projected on the stage. But everything that is tweeted or texted on the screen is the actual Shakespearian language.” He added that the punk music during transitions is relatable to modern times while also fitting thematically with the play, which deals with teenage rebellion. Meanwhile, the bare bones set shifts the focus even more to the actors, including sophomore Cameron Lee-Bellows as Romeo and senior Aly Charfauros as Juliet. “I spend a lot of time with these kids in terms of telling the story,” Lipinsky said.
CHRIS SAUR
Cameron Lee-Bellows, left, and Aly Charfauros play the title characters at Canyon Crest Academy’s upcoming presentation of Romeo and Juliet, directed by Steve Lipinsky. “When I put together the play, a lot of it has to do with the cast that I have and how they start to interpret the language and take on the characters. I shift the play a little bit to work with who they are and what they are bringing to the table. “The reason I chose (Cameron) was his emotional accessibility. There aren’t a lot of high school boys who can connect to their heart in a public way. When I saw his ability to show his vulnerability, I said ‘you’re in.’” Lee-Bellows, who has played The Scarecrow in the Wizard of Oz and Biondello in Taming of the Shrew along with roles in 13 The Musical and The Secret Garden, has brought a little of himself to this classic character. “Romeo is definitely someone I’ve never
really played before and is a difficult character to establish,” Lee-Bellows said. “I kind of put myself in the character by relating my own experiences with his and finding a middle.” For Charfauros, whose first lead in a musical was Shen Te in The Good Woman of Setzuan and has also acted in Evita and Twelfth Night, playing Juliet was out of her comfort zone at first. “Juliet is a role where I’ve been able to break my type cast,” she said. “Usually, I play the role of the seductive, sensual, very mature leading lady. I didn’t even know I was capable of playing Juliet because she is a very rash, immature and just childish, young girl. “One of the most fun parts for me when I SEE PLAY, B22

Casa Aldea will provide upscale senior living BY CHRIS SAUR orth Coast seniors looking for an assisted living and memory care facility that mixes upscale and vibrant, with the latest technology and a smaller, family-style feel won’t have to search any longer. Casa Aldea Senior Living, which embodies all of those qualities and more, is expected to open in early 2017 next to the Santaluz community and golf course. Owned by Aldea Partners, a group that also owns a facility in University City for seniors who need a little less care, the new facility will be managed by Integral Senior Living (ISL), which is headquartered in Carlsbad and managing around 60 facilities in more than 10 states. Casa Aldea will offer 47 assisted living apartments and 17 apartments in the secured memory care area. All residents have access to 24-hour onsite nursing in addition to a large care staff. Incoming residents, who start at age 60 in most cases, can be independent — and some care is included in the base pricing — but the idea for Casa Aldea is that they can offer more care as needed (including hospice) so seniors don’t need to move to a new place if their situation changes. “They can truly age in place,” said Executive Director Tiffany Yin. “In terms of the amenities and the staff, we are going to have a very high expectation of customer service. We plan to give our residents an experience unlike any other.” Those amenities — which are in addition to the beautiful atmosphere provided by the two-story building with architecture influenced by Mediterranean and California styles — include a full-time concierge; 24-hour receptionist;

gym; clubhouse with pool table; large theater for live performances or movies; full salon and spa; simple but upscale apartments (think granite counter tops and high-end bathrooms) and a large garden area. The garden area is beautifully landscaped with walking paths, a gazebo, raised planters for resident gardening and even bocce ball and a putting green. And then there is the food. Casa Aldea will offer ISL’s award-winning Dining by Design program, with anytime dining at both a restaurant and a more casual bistro/bar area, as well as outdoor dining and a private dining area available for parties. Additionally, there will be an extensive 24-hour room service program. The food will be courtesy of Chef Rene Cota, who has 30 years of experience providing fine dining at senior facilities. “He is amazing,” Yin said. “(Other facilities) were very sad that we got him.” Built with the environment in mind, Casa Aldea will utilize solar power and has an energy-star certification to guarantee the lowest carbon footprint currently possible. It is also being built with technology in mind. Not only will it use the most up-to-date current technology, but it has been set up to easily advance with the times. Seniors and their families can reserve apartments now, and those that pre-lease will become members of the Casa Aldea charter club, which will come with bonuses such as financial concessions, welcome gifts and invitations to special events. But even non-charter members will feel like they are part of a family with only 64 total residents. “It will appeal to residents that want the resort-style feel

T
he North Coast Repertory Theater in Solana Beach has graced its stage with many hilarious comedies. Neil Simon’s “Laughter on the 23rd Floor” directed by Tom Markus, may just be the best ever. The story takes place in the writers’ room of television’s “Your Show Of Shows” (with
homage to Sid Caesar), where the scripts and sketches are hatched and hashed about. Boss Max Prince (David Ellenstein) employs a range of writers, each with his or her own quirks. Hypochondriac Ira (Omri Schein), dry-witted Kenny (Phil Johnson), the pedantic Russian emigrant Val

(Nicholas Mongiardo-Cooper), Max’s secretary Helen (Caroline Drage), the flamboyant Milt (Louis Lotorto), newbie Lucas (Brett Alters), the lone female writer, Carol (Amanda Sitton), and Irish-American Brian (Christopher M. Williams) make up the crazy team that must deliver their ideas on time, regardless of the zany things that go on in this room. They saunter into the “office” at various times in the morning making small talk, maybe even talking about the ones who aren’t there yet — like the boss, Max. When Max does arrive, he wants to hear what ideas his crew has for the next show. Good luck is not around as they throw out ideas in last-minute haste, most lacking depth. But that really doesn’t matter because Max isn’t quite together when he arrives, either. Some days are outright shocking! The cast is amazing, but Ellenstein shines as the often pant-less Max, who sometimes forgets the names of those who work for him, until he gets notice from NBC executives that the show’s length and expenses are about to shrink. Now he’s like a gorilla in a cage too-small. The artistic director has played roles from one scope to another at NCRT, but Max Prince is his bravest and most sidesplitting performance. The evening is full of laughs, but also some profanity, and it’s geared to a more mature audience. Fun Fact: Why did Simon use ‘23rd Floor’ in the title? Simon once it’s because Sid Caesar’s writers on the original “Your Show Of Shows” (including Neil Simon and his older brother, Danny Simon) held their script sessions at various times on the 11th and 12th floors of an NBC-TV office building. He added those numbers together to put his fictional cast on the 23rd floor. ■ IF YOU GO: ‘Laughter on the 23rd Floor’ plays through Nov. 20 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

“You can see this theme (‘To defy expectations’) represented in this year’s logo, which shows a young Iranian woman with a multicolored hijab, or head scarf,” said Brian Hu, SDAFF artistic director. “She is wearing sunglasses and lipstick.

Grandma Eva’s Apple Strudel
Flour Power: A fall baking primer – Part 1
I
still remember when my young jaw dropped in awe every time I watched my grandmother prepare from scratch her prized apple strudel (recipe provided), lemon meringue pie, jelly roll, and taiglach (crunchy pastry balls coated with honey and almonds), along with delicious savories including rosemary stew dumplings and chicken pot pie. She almost exclusively used her tried-and-true all-purpose flour, and the results were flawless every time. Today there’s a luxury lineup of traditional and specialty flours to create buttery, melt-in-your mouth pastries, protein- and fiber-rich doughs and batters, and gluten-free alternatives, the latter so those with Celiac disease and gluten sensitivities don’t feel deprived.
The Classics
■ All-purpose flour is a baker’s staple. This multi-tasking wheat flour with moderate amounts of protein and fiber is suitable for a wide range of baking needs from breads and pizzas to cookies, muffins and cakes. ■ Whole-wheat flour that contains both the bran and germ of the wheat kernel nutritionally trumps all-purpose. Its higher protein and fiber content creates a denser texture with a slightly nutty flavor, limiting its uses. Baker’s Tip: Do a 50/50 blend
of all-purpose with whole-wheat for a lighter flour. ■ Pastry flour is created by finely grinding a soft wheat. There are both white and whole-wheat varieties of this silky powder that make delicate pastries and tender crusts. ■ Bread flour is a protein powerhouse ideal for hearty loaves, giving a chewy, dense texture. ■ Cake flour has the lowest protein content of all flours, usually bleached and milled from a soft winter wheat. This finely textured flour is best used for baking light and airy delights like Angel Food Cake.
Gluten-free “flours”
Gluten is the protein found in certain grains and their hybrids including wheat, rye and barley. Like its namesake, gluten is the “glue-like” substance that gives breads and pastas a wonderful chewy texture. But for those suffering from Celiac Disease or non-Celiac gluten sensitivity gluten is the enemy. The following gluten-free “flours” can be substituted for traditional ones with equally delicious baking results. One word of caution: don’t buy from bulk bins, which can have cross-contamination from non-gluten items. ■ High protein Amaranth flour derived from the seed of the leafy amaranth plant gives a nutty flavor and nutritious oomph to
assorted baked goods. ■ Banana flour is created by pulverizing dried unripe bananas for an earthy, potassium-rich baking option. Dense and concentrated, use one-quarter less than the recipe calls for. ■ Since Brown Rice flour contains the bran of the grain, it has a high fiber content, rich nutty taste and grainy texture best used for hearty breads and biscuits. For a lighter, more delicate version try white rice flour. ■ Chia flour is made from the ground seeds of this Omega-3, calcium and protein powerhouse. When used in cookies, bars, cakes and muffins, slight recipe adjustments need to be made by increasing liquids and baking times. ■ Gram flour, a staple of Indian cuisine made of crushed roasted chickpeas is a protein-packed, mustard-colored powder with a nutty flavor and rich aromatic scent when heated. Ideal as a breading for fish, chicken or vegetables, a batter for sweet or savory pancakes, a substitute for eggs in vegan dishes, or the base for the popular celebratory sweet delight called ladoo.
■ The dough: 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour; 1/2 cup white cane sugar; 2 eggs; 1/2 cup vegetable oil (canola, grapeseed, your choice); 1 tablespoon baking powder; zest from one lemon; a few drops vanilla or almond extract; pinch of salt. ■ The filling: 3 pounds apples (Granny Smith, Gala, your choice), peeled, sliced; 1/3 cup brown sugar; 1/3 cup chopped toasted nuts (walnuts, pecans, your choice); 1/3 cup raisins; 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon; 2 tablespoons apricot or berry preserves. ■ Method: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. For the dough, in a large mixing bowl or bowl of a food processor, blend eggs, oil and sugar. Gradually add flour (mixed with baking powder and salt). Blend into a dough. Divide into two balls and refrigerate. For the filling, in a large mixing bowl combine apples, nuts, raisins, sugar and cinnamon. Set aside. Flour a board and roll dough balls into ovals. Transfer to parchment-lined cookie sheets. Spread layer of preserves on dough, and evenly distribute the filling. Gently roll into loaves. Make three horizontal slits on each loaf. Bake 30 minutes or until golden. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

Saying No to Overbooking the Holidays is Saying Yes to Yourself We are two-and-a-half months away from the end of the year—if that number doesn’t scare you, think about this: we have fewer than 75 days left of 2016. The progression toward the holiday season and the end-ofyear countdown seems to get earlier each year; stores are marketing the holidays as early as October. It would be easy to ignore these factors, yet there are social pressures to already start thinking about dates—do you want to go away for the end of the year, or spend the holidays with family? Does your family want you to host? Are there workrelated expectations? Life is already moving at the speed of
“too fast” for most of us: There are work deadlines, but there is also pressure to save for gifts or holiday parties, and plenty of hidden expenditures during this time of year. Working moms especially face so many pressures. If kids are in sports, there are games and maybe playoffs on the schedule; if your student is in high school, this is the season of college applications and SATs, which means it’s the season of comforting your stressed teen as they worry that their entire future hinges on a few hours of testtaking. Then kids have to get presents for other kids, or teachers, or coaches, and all this must be added into the already-swelling budget. It’s enough to make a busy mom want to throw up her hands and hide until January. This isn’t an option, of course. What is an option is saying no to holiday overbooking. This isn’t always easy. There’s an undue amount of pressure on women during the holidays, more so than falls onto men. Half of women in the US report holiday stress, compared with a third of men. Why is this? There are still expectations that women fulfill certain duties that aren’t expected of men, as well as pressures and guilt put on

women at higher rates than on men, socially forcing women to overbook. If men say no to family activities or work-related functions, people are far more likely to be accepting of the “no” response, without critique or guilt. Women don’t get off so lucky; they are far more likely to be pressured into family events than their husbands are. Women are also expected to do more of the work in preparing for these events. At work, women are often judged by how willing they are to be a “team player,” which includes participating in (and sometimes working) many holiday events. But saying yes to activities when you want to say no can actually lead to burnout. Holiday stress is a very real problem: long term effects of holiday stress include high blood pressure and potential heart disease, anxiety and depression, obesity, menstrual problems, and skin problems. So how can working moms empower themselves to say no to holiday overbooking? Start by taking a look at your holiday list and deciding which are obligations that bring you joy. How you prioritize depends on your family structure. Do you have small children or infants? Don’t overbook your holiday with
family events on the same day or weekend: Lugging your family, your kids, and all their stuff between multiple places on the same day will likely be too much for them and for you. This includes saying no to events that require unusual travel, especially requested by distant relatives. Young children can’t be expected to “perform” on holidays. Also, don’t feel obligated to participate in extravagant gift exchanges. With big families, suggest a family name drawing, so you only have to get one gift per person, or reserve gifts for the kids. And don’t feel guilty about setting your boundaries in advance. (If you ever had a license to pass on hosting duties, having young children provides not merely an excuse, but a valid reason.) Say yes to your own wellbeing. Say yes to things that make you happy. If you see your list of obligations becoming overbooked, think about why you feel obligated.

Wardell Builders wins ‘2016 Homebuilder Remodeler of the Year’ award Molly Wardell, COO of Wardell Builders in Solana Beach, accepted the BIA ICON Award Sept. 17 for Homebuilder Remodeler of the Year at the Westin San Diego. The BIA ICON Awards recognizes builder, trade and design professionals of exemplary work in their industry each year. This wasn’t the first BIA ICON Award for the company and, from the sounds of it, won’t be their last. “Wardell Builders stands heads above their competition. Our company prides itself on three areas; client relations, our employees, and our knowledge of construction science and craftsmanship,” said the team on its nomination form when asked what they do that sets
them apart. Priding themselves on the loyalty of their clients has been key for their success in terms of building the company into what it is today. This has resulted in the creation of two departments solely from the feedback and request of their clients: the remodeling and maintenance departments. Additional acts of achievement which set this family-oriented company apart from others in the industry include: Their one-of-a-kind project management software; The best employees in San Diego, with low turnover; 15 years of membership with the BIA; Molly Wardell’s active membership with The Young Generation of Leaders group SEE WARDELL, B23

They are generally quite different from the high-budget, extreme-action, special effects-dominated movies coming from Hollywood. They put more emphasis on people, relationships, emotions, the unusual, the diverse ... and there is a lot more film-making experimentation going on. This year’s festival kicked off Oct. 3 at the “Brick” on Old Decatur Road in Liberty Station with a “Chew The Scene” food-tasting event. Lee Ann Kim, festival founder and executive director for the past 16 seasons before retiring, came to the mic and joked, “I am surprised to see that there are so many people here tonight!” Although everyone misses her enthusiastic leadership, the festival continues to grow under the new leadership of Kent Lee, who was appointed after a nationwide search. Lee is actually a local who worked his way up through the ranks from the starting point of festival volunteer. He leaves a position as a marketing director for the Boy Scouts of America to assume the helm of SDAFF. Lee said his goals for the festival are to promote Asian films, involve more people in film-making, and bring the community together through movie-going to counter the cultural trend toward isolation in virtual reality. Brian Hu continues his role as festival artistic director. He’s the guy who watches all the films submitted for consideration and selects the ones that will be shown. He is very passionate about his job. Hu said the 2016 festival theme is more somber than in the past, with a nod to the issues of global immigration and the upcoming presidential election. “This year’s theme, ‘To defy expectations,’ is about the global quest of people to be their own person, despite expectations. People are saying, ‘I don’t want any limitations placed on me,’ and, ‘If you won’t give us opportunities, we will go get them ourselves,’ ” he said. “You can see this theme represented in this year’s logo, which shows a young Iranian woman with a multicolored hijab, or head scarf. She is wearing sunglasses and lipstick. She is saying, ‘I respect my traditional culture, but I am looking to the future. I want equal opportunity.’ ” The image comes from the film “Sonita,” which is about a female Afghan teen living in Iran who wants to be a rapper and speaks out against the oppression of women. It screens 6:35 p.m. Nov. 7 at UltraStar Cinemas in Mission Valley, 7510 Hazard Center Drive, the Festival’s home base. “Our theme also points to Hollywood,” Hu continued, “where Asians are under-represented. Asians are saying, ‘If you won’t give us jobs, we will make our own movies’ and that is what they are now doing.”

‘The Tiger Hunter’ is the opening film of the 2016 San Diego Asian Film Festival. The romantic comedy screens 7 p.m. Nov. 3 at Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla. Tiger Hunter,” by Lena Khan, who will be present. It takes place in 1979 when Sami has just arrived in the USA from India with a leisure suit, a new job, and a suitcase full of expectations. He will lose two of these three things within hours of touching down, so it’s going to take grit, ingenuity and some hilarious friends to help him get back on his feet. If the stars align, he may still be able to impress his sweetheart back in India. Closing night is also set for Sherwood Auditorium with a film called “Mifune: The Last Samurai.” It is an 80-minute documentary by Oscar-winner Steven Okazaki, made in the United States and Japan. Okazaki pays tribute to samurai star Toshiro Mifune and to the samurai film genre, one of Japan’s major contributions to world cinema. Prior to the 7 p.m. screening, Friday, Nov. 11, there will be two additional festival movies at 2 and 4:15 p.m. The centerpiece film, “AKA Seoul,” will screen at 5:30 p.m. Sunday, Nov. 6, at UltraStar Cinemas. This made-in-the-USA film by Jon Maxwell is about five Korean adoptees who arrive in Seoul where their complex identities emerge from interaction with the city. Hu recommends a few more gems: “Taste of Cherry,” made in Iran in 1997, screening as a tribute to the late filmmaker Abbas Kiarostami; “Train to Busan,” an entertaining Korean zombie movie; “After the Storm,” a bruised heart detective flick; “Random Acts of Legacy,” a documentary based on old home movies; and “The Last Princess,” which centers on the last princess of Korea. Other noteworthy festival events include: a black-tie gala in the Gaslamp District; two locally sponsored films “The Longest Journey” and “Never Forget”; several nights of short films; a tribute to Taiwanese films at UC San Diego’s Calit2 Atkinson Hall; a day of screenings in the historic La Paloma Theater in Encinitas; plus films at The Museum of Photographic Arts (MOPA) in Balboa Park and the Digital Gym Cinema on El Cajon Boulevard. ■ IF YOU GO: Find a schedule, film descriptions and tickets at festival.sdaff.org or (619) 400-5911 (or e-mail info@pacarts.org for more details). many talented CCA students rounding out the cast, the show opens Oct. 28 at 7 p.m., with other performances on Oct. 29 (7 p.m.), Nov. 3 (4:30 p.m.), Nov. 4 (7 p.m.) and Nov. 5 (7 p.m.). All shows are at Proscenium Theater and tickets are available at cca-envision.org/events. “The show is definitely not the run-of-the-mill Romeo and Juliet. It’s much more modern and contemporary, and people can relate,” Lee-Bellows said. “And there is a lot of stage combat … so it’s a really fun show.”
