BY KRISTINA HOUCK To explore the city’s options and potentially craft a competing initiative for a Fletcher Cove Community Center use policy, the Solana Beach City Council on Oct. 23 established an ad hoc committee. With a 4-0 vote, council members appointed Councilman David Zito and Councilwoman Lesa Heebner to the committee. Deputy Mayor Thomas Campbell was on vacation and absent from the meeting. For more than two years, city officials and residents have attempted to develop a policy that would satisfy Solana Beach residents who want to rent the center for private events and community members who fear adverse impacts from parties. After months of debate and negotiations, the City Council on Aug. 28 adopted a use policy for the facility that limited the number of attendees, days and hours of use, and the amount of beer and wine that could be consumed per person. Members of the Friends of the Fletcher Cove Community Center, however, believe the policy still has too many regulations. The group filed a voter initiative with the city on Aug. 27 to establish less restrictive rules for the site. The petition was certified on Sept. 25, after the Registrar of Voters verified a sufficient number of signatures. The petition was presented to the council along with the council’s options at the Oct. 9 meeting. Council members discussed forming See COMMITTEE, Page 6

CV planning board votes against holding special meeting on One Paseo re-circulated EIR BY KAREN BILLING A new 29-page portion of the One Paseo Environmental Impact Report (EIR) has been re-circulated for a 45-day public review period that ends on Dec. 10. The document includes two new alternatives for the project planned for the corner of El Camino Real and Del Mar Heights: A 800,000-squarefoot reduced mixed-use option and a 80,000-squarefoot “specialty food market retail” option. The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board voted 9-3 in favor of not scheduling a special meeting on the topic. Board members Nancy Novak, Debbie Lokanc and Christopher Moore voted against the motion, believing that a meeting was needed for people to learn the details of the alternatives and have an opportunity to weigh in.

White said the intent of a meeting, if they had one, would be on the technical adequacy of the re-circulated EIR, not a discussion on the merits of the project. He said he feared 300 people would show up to argue for or against the project and have to be turned away because they weren’t addressing the topic at hand, which would be a waste of everybody’s time. Instead, as the board meetings are cancelled in both November and December due to the holidays, the board members voted unanimously to direct White to submit their comments to the city on the document. White will have the option to call a special meeting if necessary — Thursday, Nov. 21, is the only possible date for such a meeting.

There will still be plenty of time for the public to rehash the project, board member Manjeet Ranu said. As the project is expected to come before the board in January or February for final recommendation of approval, people will still be able to voice their opinion to the board before the board makes its decision. Additionally, people have until Dec. 10 to submit comments on the re-circulation. Both of the new alternatives, the reduced mixed use and the specialty market option, will not have the Main Street feature. According to the re-circulated EIR, due to the 50 percent reduction in retail, the reduced mixed-use alternative would not be able to locate residential over retail on the ground floor, which would eliminate the vertical
Del Mar school district teachers continue training for Common Core BY KAREN BILLING The professional instruction for teachers that goes into transitioning from a “sit and get” classroom to the “create and learn” classrooms stressed by the Common Core State Standards has been extensive for the Del Mar Union School District. DMUSD teachers have been going through Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI), a professional development program that seeks to increase student achievement and conceptual thinking with an emphasis in math instruction. CGI was adapted by the district in 2011 as a way to prepare for Common Core. According to Shelley Peterson, assistant superintendent of instructional services, this school year a total of 220 teachers will be out of the classroom for professional development. Teachers are grouped in different “cohorts” for their training. There are 35 teachers in cohort one who will have two training days this year; cohort two includes 48 teachers with five training days; cohort three is 83 teachers with five training days; 21 sixth grade teachers have four days of training; and 33 kindergarten through sixth grade teachers took five days over the summer and have two additional days during the school year. There will also be an additional grade level support day in December or January. If needed, some new teachers must participate in a Chromebook articulation day. Peterson said the most a teacher will be out of the classroom is seven days, the maximum scheduled by her department. Of the 180 instructional days in the teacher calendar, that repre-

SDPD’s Northwestern Division looking for help in attempted copper theft
New Pacific Highlands Ranch Elms and Ivy neighborhoods approved
BY KAREN BILLING Many Carmel Valley residents reported hearing helicopters circling in the High Bluff and Del Mar Heights area in the early morning hours on Thursday, Oct. 17. According to San Diego Police Department’s Northwestern Division’s Community Relations Officer Natalie Hone, the helicopters were part of a search for a copper theft suspect who fled after a traffic stop. Around 1:45 a.m., a Northwestern Officer attempted to stop a suspicious vehicle near 12600 High Bluff Drive. The vehicle fled and a short time after that, the driver of the vehicle ran away on foot in the area of High Bluff and Del Mar Heights. Officers, with the assistance of ABLE, a police helicopter, searched the area for the suspect, but were unable to locate him. The suspect vehicle, left at the scene, was impounded by officers. The next morning construction workers at 12670 High Bluff called to report $9,000 in copper material stolen from their construction site. Officers went back to the area the vehicle and suspect had fled from and discovered the stolen property flung across the ground. Detectives are following up with the leads and anyone with information pertaining to the case is asked to call Detective Boerum at (858) 523-7000.
BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board approved plans for The Elms and The Ivy, a new housing development in Pacific Highlands Ranch at its Oct. 24 meeting. The Elms and The Ivy will include 174 single-family homes on 26.3 acres off Carmel Valley Road near Rancho Santa Fe Farms Road, just east of the future Pacific Highlands Ranch Village Center. The project also includes an affordable housing component of 28 units on 5 acres on the south side of SR-56, accessed off the Rancho Santa Fe Farms frontage road. The development will have several different models of homes, ranging from 3,200 square feet to 4,000 square feet in styles such as “classic Americana” and “coastal cottage.” Randi Coopersmith, senior principal planner with Latitude 33, said the project has gone through many changes as a result of the city’s process. They had to redesign to comply with the community plan to include “alley-loaded” homes (homes with garages tucked behind the homes) and they widened the development’s entrance to make it a 106-foot-wide parkway that aligns with Lopeila Meadows Place across Carmel Valley Road. “The process has been very productive and I think it’s a much better plan as a result,” Coopersmith said. The project was also originally planned to have private roads but they will now be public, connecting to the future Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch and the neighboring proposed residential project on the “Lynn property” on the west via the parkway. The one city requirement that the board did not agree with was building a road to connect to its neighbor to the east, Costa Del Sol. Costa Del Sol was allowed to be built with private roads so a connection will never occur — the road has to simply end at that development. “It’s detrimental to the neighborhood to have a road to nowhere,” said board member Manjeet Ranu. In its approval of the project, the board included a condition that instead of using the land for a road, the land should be used as a pocket park or open space Coopersmith said they plan to be before the city for project approval in December or January.
Delays, closures expected on Carmel Valley Road during pipeline project BY KAREN BILLING Work started on a major construction project in Pacific Highlands Ranch on Monday, Oct. 28, resulting in partial closures of southbound and northbound lanes of Carmel Valley Road. Manjeet Ranu, vice chair of the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board, has coined it “Carmel-geddon” due to the disruption it will cause for several local schools and work traffic that flows through the area. “Expect chaos and bad manners,” Ranu warned the board at its Oct. 24 meeting. The closures are due to the construction of a recycled water pipeline, a project taken on by Pardee Homes and the City of San Diego. The pipeline will deliver recycled water to adjacent landscaped medians, golf courses and greenbelts in Carmel Valley and Pacific Highlands Ranch. Construction is expected to continue through the end of the year. The work will occur on Carmel Valley Road from SR-56 to Lopelia Meadows Place. When the pipeline construction reaches Edgewood Bend Court, it crosses over from

Rancho Santa Fe Lakes Homeowners Association voices opposition to stockpiled dirt BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Lakes Homeowners Association is opposing a “mountain of dirt” adjacent to its homes caused by a developer’s temporary stockpiling that the Homeowners Association fears will be more permanent. The HOA is located near a 32-acre vacant Rancho Del Sol parcel with frontage on Carmel Valley Road and Rancho Santa Fe Lakes Road. Rancho Del Sol’s 62,500-cubicyard stockpile is the result of a habitat restoration it is completing to comply with stipulations from an illegal grading violation. Through its regional issues subcommittee, the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board is trying to find a reasonable solution between the developers and surrounding property owners. As the stockpile is very close to its homes, the HOA is looking for assurances that Rancho Del Sol will remove the soil and comply with city mandates. They are concerned that the remaining soil will be used to continue to increase the elevation of the parcel — creating an “ugly obstruction” of the view for RSF Lakes homeowners and homeowners across Carmel Valley Road. “We are very concerned this stockpiling will become a long-term problem,” wrote Deborah DeBow, RSF Lakes HOA president, in a letter to the city. “Because of the city’s lack of resources, it may not be able to adequately deal with or may ignore problems. We fear enforcement may not occur, even with mandated safeguards that are automatically triggered and enforceable.”
At a Oct. 22 regional issues subcommittee meeting, the developer’s representative Paul Metcalf said they would work on a deed restriction that the stockpile cannot stay and that any potential buyer will be put on notice it has to be removed. Metcalf said they hope to come back before the regional issues subcommittee in December or January to see if what they come up with will appease the neighbors. “We’re not trying to create a bad situation for you, we’re trying to make the best lemonade we can out of the lemons we’ve been given,” Metcalf said. DeBow said she didn’t exactly feel bad for their situation, as they essentially made their own lemons. The developers don’t deny the fact that the whole situation was caused by an error some years ago when landowner Bob Barczewski accidentally created his own wetlands. Chris Barczewski, Bob’s son, explained how his dad acquired extra fill leftover from the construction of SR-56. Bob installed berming to shore the roadway on his property, which created a dam-like effect and over time resulted in the creation of the pond and wetland habitat. In June 2001, the city issued a violation for illegal grading on the site. Stipulation in settlement for the final judgment was issued in October 2003, which ordered the developer to fix the violation by draining the pond and restoring the area to its pre-existing condition. However, as the pond was classified as a wetland, compliance would result in im-

Congressman Scott Peters voices appreciation to CV planning board BY KAREN BILLING Congressman Scott Peters popped by the Carmel Valley Library on Oct. 24 to drop in on the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board’s monthly meeting. When in San Diego, Peters said he likes to visit the military, local businesses and community groups. Peters complimented and thanked the board members for their hard work and noted that when he was on City Council, Carmel Valley was one of the most functional planning groups in the city and that he strongly valued the Carmel Valley planning board’s opinions and recommendations. The freshman congressman spoke candidly about the challenges in Washington DC and how he continues to focus on problem solving and working across party lines. “We had an awful month. The 16-day shutdown had horrible consequences…all for really no reason,” Peters said. “It can be tremendously frustrating but I get on a plane every week hoping to make it better.”
City proposing water rate increases BY KAREN BILLING On Nov. 21, the San Diego City Council will hold a hearing on proposed water rate changes for 2014 and 2015. Due to the increasing cost of water, the city is proposing to increase water rate revenues by 7.25 percent on Jan. 1, 2014 and 7.5 percent on Jan. 1, 2015. David Stallman, from the City of San Diego’s public utilities department, visited the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board on Oct. 24 to explain the driving factors of the increases and how it will affect homeowners’ bills. “We’ve done everything we can to avoid raising rates,” Stallman said. He said the city has done a lot in terms of making operations more efficient with infrastructure improvements, reducing the number of employees by 415, refinancing outstanding bonds to save $103 million, and saving $251 million in grants and state loans. Stallman said 85 percent of the water used by San Diego residents and businesses is imported and the cost of bringing the resource to the city is high. Since 2008, the costs have doubled and they are only expected to increase for years to come. See WATER, page 19

Bike or spin at the Del Mar Fairgrounds Nov. 3 to fight ALS BY KRISTINA HOUCK In honor of his father who is battling amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), local resident and Core40 owner Dean Grafos will spin for a cure on a stationary bike during the second annual “Bike 4 Mike” fundraiser on Sunday, Nov. 3, at the Paddock Arena in the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Launched last year, the event continues the mission of Team Godfather and honors the organization’s founder, Mike Ramirez, who died from the disease at age 56 in April 2012. Team Godfather is devoted to finding treatment and a cure for ALS (also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease). In addition to spin classes on stationary bikes, the event will feature 10-, 25- and 50-mile distance rides that begin and end at the fairgrounds. “How many times are you going to get a chance to ride a spin bike at the Paddock Arena in the Del Mar Fairgrounds?” said Grafos, who owns Core40 fitness studios in Solana Beach, Carmel Valley and Little Italy, as well as two locations in San Francisco. “It’s a fun, unique event with great people. You’ll have a great time!” Having held several fundraisers at his studios, Grafos has been active in the fight against ALS since his father, Steven Grafos, was diagnosed with the disease more than two years ago. He donated 42 stationery bikes and led spinning classes in the inaugural Bike 4 Mike, and will be doing the same this year. “We decided last year it would be good to team up with a larger group to help raise even more money and do all we could do,” Grafos said. “We’re going to try and make this event more and more successful every year.” ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. As
Dean Grafos and his parents, Thean and Steven. Courtesy photo many as 20,000 to 30,000 people in the United States have ALS, and approximately 5,000 people in the U.S. are diagnosed with the disease each year, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. There is currently no treatment or cure. At 78 years old, Grafos’ father began to have difficulty swallowing and experienced muscle weakness. Now 81, he has a feeding tube and 24-hour live-in care. “He’s at the point where he can’t get up by himself anymore. He can’t walk,” Grafos said. “If my mom didn’t have 24-hour care, my father would not be in his home. He would be in a hospital. I don’t even know if he would still be with us.” An Army veteran, Grafos’ father is fortunate to have health benefits to help cover the cost of at-home care. His benefits also covered the cost of a high-tech wheelchair, Grafos said. “Fundraising, for me, is so important because others don’t have that,” said Grafos, who noted his father and mother, Thean, have been married for 60 years. “[Other people are] struggling and struggling to maintain a life together. [Other people] just don’t have what my mom has. My mom is able to keep him home. “People want to just maintain their lives together and keep going for as long as they have left. Most people can’t. It’s really sad.” Bike 4 Mike will feature vendor booths, music and a post-ride Mexican fiesta and beer garden at the finish line in the Paddock Arena. All proceeds will go directly to raise awareness, pioneer research and develop innovative treatments for ALS. The 50-mile ride begins at 7:30 a.m., the 25-mile ride begins at 8 a.m. and the 10 –mile ride begins at 8:30 a.m. Spin classes take place at 8:45, 9:45 and 10:45 a.m. Registration fees vary. “The atmosphere is not a downer at all. It’s actually uplifting,” Grafos said. “There will be people there who have ALS, and we can uplift their spirits. It’s a way to come out to support one another.” For more information, and to donate or register, visit www.teamgodfather.org/bike4mike.

PASEO continued from page 1 mix of uses seen in the reduced Main Street option. The retail area would resemble “a traditional neighborhood shopping center with single story strip retail or stand-along buildings serviced by surface parking lots, rather than gathering spaces.” The specialty market alternative includes a 30,000-square-foot food market in combination with 50,000 square feet of retail uses such as banks, restaurants and community stores, all expected to generate 6,500 Average Daily Trips (ADTs), the same as the 500,000-square- foot office use the site is entitled to. The specialty market would be a one-story, standalone building and other retail stores would be grouped into one of more single-story buildings. Larger restaurants could be constructed as stand-alone, one-story
buildings. This alternative is the environmentally superior alternative as it results in the least impact to traffic and avoids other significant visual and community character impacts, according to the EIR. Despite the reduction in impacts, the EIR said that significant traffic impacts would still occur. According to Bob Little, Kilroy’s vice president of development. Kilroy still believes that its “reduced Main Street” alternative is the best plan to meet the project’s goals and objectives. The plan is 1.4 million square feet total, including 246,500 square feet of retail, 484,000 square feet of office space, as well as 608 residential units. It is called the reduced Main Street alternative as it is 30 percent reduced from Kilroy’s originally submitted plan. Carmel Valley resident Ken Farinksy, who has been involved in the What Price
Main Street efforts that have opposed the reduced Main Street alternative, said in his initial review there are a few things that worried him about the recirculated document. Farinsky expressed concerns about the “creeping up” of building heights in the document, from 8 to 9 feet and that noise impact studies may result in the construction of sound walls in some of the recreational use areas. “If it’s going to be so noisy that it’s not appropriate for public use, I wonder how it will impact that ‘string of pearls’ community benefit along El Camino Real,” Farinsky said. Farinsky also told the board that none of community benefits presented to the public in August (such as the “string of pearls” series of pubic plazas or the gateway to the recreation center and fields) are included in the document and as there is no “graphical” material in

continued from page 1 an ad hoc committee and voted to order a report rather than adopt the group’s policy or spend about $200,000 on a special election. At that time, Zito volunteered to sit on the committee and be the contact person for public comment on the matter. “The intention of this, at least in my mind, is to try to make sure we keep as many options open as possible,” Zito said. “But for us to craft an initiative or craft a path forward that is different than what’s laid in front of us is going to be very challenging. It will be a very difficult thing to do. We don’t have much time.” Solana Beach City Attorney Johanna Canlas agreed, saying, “timing is essential.” She noted that the last time a measure could be added to the ballot is 88 days from the time an election is called. Hypothetically, should the council call an election on Nov. 6, based on the report, she explained, Nov. 15 would be the last date the council could add a competing ballot measure. The next council meeting is set for Nov. 13, but a special meeting could be called earlier with at least 24 hours notice given to the public. Only two council members could serve on the committee. Since the last meeting, Mayor Mike Nichols said he called Zito and of-
the document he also said it’s difficult to relate the numbers to the physical design. Board member Anne Harvey expressed disappointment that Kilroy’s alternatives in the recirculation were not what the board had requested. She said they had asked for an alternative that was mixed use and would generate no more traffic than the current entitlement. “Instead, we got as an alternative a specialty food and restaurant area that would occupy less than half of the site,” Harvey said. “I’m not sure why, with the traffic generation as the governing factor, or cap, the writers of the DEIR chose only the uses that would generate the most traffic per square foot.” Harvey said she was also unclear why the mixeduse alternative that is less dense and would not negatively impact the neighborhood character was dismissed as not fulfilling the
goals of the overall project. “The uses could be mixed, combined and arranged around a town square just as happily,” Harvey said. While the Carmel Valley planning board may not meet on this re-circulated document, White said there is no shortage of feedback on the topic. White said the planning board has a 6-inch-thick binder from Kilroy with letters of support and a similar binder with opposition statements is yet to come from What Price Main Street. At last week’s meeting, White allowed one public comment in favor of the project from a resident in attendance. Jim Tuffield, a Carmel Valley resident since 1995, told the board that he and his friends have found themselves empty nesters and having disposable income for the first time in their lives. He said they have loved the added amenities at Del Mar Highlands Town
Center but can’t find anywhere to park. He said at 6 p.m., when they want to go out, they can’t go north to Encinitas because Interstate 5 is jammed, they can’t go south to UTC because it would take an hour and a half and they can’t go east because SR-56 is “bumper to bumper.” “We’re officially a landlocked community for people who want to go out so it becomes very important for us to have a venue where we live,” Tuffield told the board. “I know you have lots of minutiae and details to be worked out but please try to get this approved.” People can review the re-circulated EIR document at sandiego.gov/city-clerk/ officialdocs, searching under One Paseo. The document is also available at both One Paseo’s website, onepaseo. com, and What Price Main Street’s site, whatpricemainstreet.com.
fered to help. During the meeting, Heebner said she was interested in serving as well. Heebner said Nichols is fair and open-minded, but she didn’t want the public to perceive the committee as unbalanced. “I don’t think any of us have made up our mind completely, but I think it’s well-known there was a split on this council before it got to this point, where some of us were for protecting the neighborhood in different ways, in different pathways, than others were,” she said. “So I’m open to being available for community members to speak to me as well, if that might make the ad hoc committee feel perhaps a little bit more balanced. But if that’s not the will of the rest of the council, that’s fine with me.” Noting all council members would be able to provide input during the process, Nichols eventually withdrew and Heebner joined Zito on the committee. “I don’t think there’s a question of balance,” Nichols said. “I think we’re all moving forward with the best intentions that we can in trying to get something together.” Councilman Peter Zahn said he could provide input, but he wasn’t available to be on the committee. “As it’s been said by many people — residents and members of this council — this issue is about a lot more than just the community center,” Zahn said. “There’s going to be a sort of filtering that’s going to have to occur to really separate
out the issues and present the proposals that you receive or make in a way that is as clean and clear as possible, without a lot of the rhetoric and the back and forth. I think it’s going to be a tremendous challenge.” The ad hoc committee will likely meet within the next week, Zito said. In the meantime, staff is compiling a report that will include any effect the proposed initiative could have on the city’s general and specific plans, housing element, planning, zoning and land use. It will also include impacts on funding for infrastructure, traffic congestion, existing business districts and any other issues council members request. The report must be presented within 30 days of the time the report was ordered, which is when council members can adopt the ordinance as it is written, call for a special election or wait another 10 days to make a decision.

Concrete barriers will protect the work zone 24 hours a day. At night, both northbound lanes of Carmel Valley Road will be closed from SR-56 to Edgewood Bend. Southbound and northbound traffic will merge to single lanes and then be diverted to the southbound side of the street. Work at the intersection of Del Mar Heights Road will occur during the weekend hours. Allen Kashani, the board’s developer representative from Pardee Homes, said a lot of the traffic on the road comes from the east, cutting-through to avoid the freeway. He said he hoped most people would find an alternative route. “We wish to let you know that we will do everything we can to minimize the impacts of this project,” wrote Tom Farrar of Pardee Homes in a notice to residents. “During the construction, you may want to plan a few extra minutes of travel time, reduce your driving speeds and remember to be mindful of traffic control.” Ranu also encouraged residents to sign up with SANDAG’s iCommute service to find work carpool and SchoolPool matches.

Education Matters/Opinion How to repair broken trust over tax bill debacle BY MARSHA SUTTON By now everyone has probably heard that all Marsha Sutton property owners in the San Dieguito Union High School District received a tax bill for the 2013-2014 year with an error on it. The amount charged for the high school district’s bond was about 50 percent higher than allowed. For the blow-by-blow account of this unfortunate incident, please see the report on the Del Mar Times website, first posted last week, on Oct. 24: http:// w w w. d e l m a r t i m e s . net/2013/10/24/taxpayersovercharged-due-to-error-inhigh-school-district-property-tax-bill-calculations/. Since my initial post, the San Diego County Taxpayers Association distributed a Taxpayer Alert bulletin, and the school district followed up with its own press release to property owners and the media last Thursday. To sum up, SDUHSD promised it would cost property owners no more than $25 per $100,000 in assessed property value if voters approved the district’s $449 million General Obligation facilities bond. The measure passed last November with 55.1 percent voter approval (55 percent was needed). But when I received my property tax bill for the period July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014, the charge was well
above that $25 limit, amounting to about $37.50 per $100,000. Several thoughts came to mind. Perhaps I was reading it incorrectly. Or the period in question was retroactive back to January. Or my assessed value was way more than it showed on the bill. Or was it some other misunderstanding on my part? I even joked with others that perhaps the error was only on my bill, as punishment for covering the bond issue in my column so intensely the past few years. I called SDUHSD for an explanation on Oct. 12. After several more requests, 10 days passed with still no response. Impatient, I then called the county, and county Auditor-Controller Tracy Sandoval informed me the overcharge was an error – the first time anything like this has happened, she said. It’s a mistake on every property owner’s tax bill that adds up to about $7 million in total excess charges. To be clear, if you own property in the San Dieguito district, you were overcharged. Everyone was. Figuring out how it happened and how to fix the mess are now the top priorities of the county and school district. Sandoval blames the district and the district blames the county, but both agencies are now trying to focus on a resolution. Reissuing tax bills, when many bills have already been paid, was initially rejected. The leading solution as of this writing is to
ask for full payment and then the county will issue refund checks. [This column is being written on Monday, Oct. 28, for publication Thursday, Oct. 31 – a truly scary Halloween story if ever there was one. In the interim, a final decision on how to fix this will hopefully be announced.] No one noticed? Besides understanding how this could have happened, how it will be resolved, and how much more it will cost taxpayers to execute the fix, there are other questions. What comes to mind first is, why did no one else catch this? One can see why most property owners in the district wouldn’t notice that the bond tax was too high, because few people are close enough to the issue to realize what the amount should have been. I covered the bond issue long enough to know the maximum charge allowed, but other people were more heavily involved in this issue than I was. Every one of the five school board members lives in the district (obviously). They all knew exactly how much the charge was permitted to be. And not one of them noticed that their bills far exceeded that amount? How about the misnamed bond “oversight” committee? This indepen-
dent committee is composed of members who live in the district whose job is to provide taxpayers with oversight of the bond money. No one who works for the district, where many people were intimately familiar with the numbers, noticed this? All those paid financial advisors the school district has hired failed to catch the error? A more fundamental question is why there are not mechanisms in place to audit these numbers before tax bills are printed and mailed. If, as the district says, all the correct information was sent to the county, how can it be that there is no system in place for the county to transmit its calculations back to the school district to verify accuracy before releasing bills to the public? “I did not see any information on the tax rate that was calculated for the 201314 tax statements,” said Eric Dill, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of business services. “We certainly would have noticed the higher rate since we were keenly aware of our promise to the community on the highest estimated tax rate.” This leads to another troubling concern: Without a reliable auditing mechanism, how do we know this has never happened before? It makes one wonder if other school districts that recently passed bonds (the big ones are Poway Unified and
RELIGION & spirituality
San Diego Unified) might not also have errors. If I were living in any of those school districts, I’d go back and check my tax bill very carefully. “Once we move past the current discussions, which are entirely focused on implementing the solution to refund taxpayers, I am going to suggest that all public agencies with assessments receive advance notice of the tax rates affecting their constituents,” Dill said. A moving target After learning of the mistake, Del Mar Union School District board member Doug Perkins, who until recently served on the executive committee of the San
PAGE 7
Diego County Taxpayers Association, called for a moratorium on all bond activity – and for all school districts in the county, not just San Dieguito. “I’d like to see the San Dieguito district push the pause button until we figure out what the problem was,” Perkins said. “And I would encourage other districts to put their bonds on hold until this gets sorted out.” Chris Cate of the county Taxpayers Association called this the worst kind of mistake and said it was a “disservice to taxpayers.” Given that the correct

Local author shares ‘tough love’ advice in book ‘Life is a Blender: Radical Parenting Tips That Will Save Your Sanity’ BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley’s Yana Berlin is a strict parent and she’s not ashamed to admit it. With her new book, “Life is a Blender: Radical Parenting Tips That Will Save Your Sanity,” she is candid and honest about the struggles of parenthood and offers up some of her very best tough love and advice. The e-book, Berlin’s first, is now available on Amazon. com. “I’m fed up with the ‘I want to be your friend’ parenting. My husband and I are very close with our kids but we’re parents first,” Berlin said. “I don’t believe I love my kids any more than any other mother — we all love our kids — but at the same time you have to give them the tools for life to be able to out there and survive. If I dropped my kids off in the middle of Manhattan with no money, they would find the means.” Her biggest stressors in the book are that it’s OK to parent, to discipline and to say “no.” “They will hate you and that’s OK...They need guidance, they need parameters, they need to know some of the things they do are not OK,” Berlin said. She would like to bring back that strong sense of family that she feels has been diminished in today’s society. Early Amazon reviews are that her effort is appreciated. “Yana shows you how to be a consistent, disciplined, firm, loving and caring mother and how to raise responsible, honest insightful kids,” wrote reviewer Samira Saadat. The idea for the book came three years ago after Berlin was diagnosed with breast cancer. With Berlin going through treatment and her oldest daughter about to get married, Berlin’s family was in a state of reflection and they spoke about how she should put pen to paper on her parenting tradition. “You never know what’s going to happen so I promised as soon as I finished treatment and felt well enough I would start writing,” Berlin said.
“Life is a Blender” author Yana Berlin. Photo/Karen Billing She started writing in April 2011 and it took her three years to write the book, in bits and pieces when the inspiration would strike her. Her book details her humble roots in the Soviet Union. Her parents did not want to live in a Communist country and when Leonid Brezhnev opened the doors for Jews to leave, they
decided to emigrate. The family arrived in Los Angeles in 1977 and she experienced the “life of an immigrant.” Her parents worked two jobs and she herself worked to help support the family and buy their first home. “I don’t know if any house that we saw in the years to come impressed us as much as that little shack we could call our own. Life was tough but life was beautiful; we were living the American dream,” Berlin wrote. Her parents were strict but the lessons were invaluable when she became a mom at 22 years old. Berlin has been married to her husband for 20 years and they are a blended family, both bringing children to the family from previous relationships. “We never had the word ‘step’ in our vocabulary,” Berlin said, noting that for several years many people didn’t even realize their family was blended. “We always thought of ourselves as a unit, a whole family.” Berlin raised her three daughters and a son and, throughout the years, three other children also came to live with her and came to know her as their mother. They all had to follow the same strict rules whether they were biological children or not. No tattoos unless the first one is “I’m An Idiot” across their forehead. When one daughter said she was going to sleep over at a friend’s house and went to a party instead, that was the end of sleepovers for all of her children. When one daughter acted rude, she was not allowed to get her driver’s license. When her daughter slammed her bedroom door at age 9, she didn’t get that door back until she was 12. To this day, no door is ever slammed in the Berlin house. Stephanie and Sasha, Berlin’s oldest and youngest children, reflected on some of her parent rules in the book. “No boys in your room. No freak dancing. You want to drink, you drink with us. Drop the attitude. Be polite. Smile. You have a beautiful life with limitless opportunities but if
you break the rules, any rule, you pay the consequences,” Stephanie wrote. “We may not have enjoyed every step of the way but, looking back, we are lucky [our parents] were not lazy.” “With my elder siblings ahead of me, life was defined by rules, rules I absolutely loved breaking,” wrote Berlin’s youngest child, Sasha, in the book. “Consequently, I was grounded practically every weekend and while I hated my parents for it at the time, I can now say it was worth it. “ In the book, Berlin writes about some of the tactics she used that she found effective for a wide variety of issues. Some ideas she knows may be considered controversial. She tells the story of a time when her 2 and a half year old had a major tantrum in the grocery store and her four year old followed suit, both of them lying on the floor of the store screaming. Berlin left her full grocery cart in the store,

Del Mar native completes 75-day wilderness expedition in Australia BY KRISTINA HOUCK Having grown up in Del Mar, Chase Matthews is familiar with sandy beaches. Now, the 22-year-old has mastered the steep-sided mountain ranges, dry tropical grasslands and tidal rivers of Australia. With the National Outdoor Leadership School, he backpacked and canoed across the wild Kimberley region of Western Australia last spring. “I loved it,” said Matthews, who graduated from Canyon Crest Academy in Carmel Valley and is now a business senior at Chapman University in Orange. “It was definitely tough at times and was one of the most difficult things I’ve ever done, but it was a great experience.” The 75-day wilderness expedition began in early March and ended in mid-May. Matthews, along with three guides and 16 other students, started on the Drysdale River. For five weeks, the group paddled and portaged canoes and gear down the remote river, learning outdoor living and canoeing skills. Students also took turns and co-lead their groups, learning risk management and leadership skills. “You really learn from it,” Matthews said. “You get a different view of the world when you get out there with nothing but your gear, tools and the stuff that you have to survive on.” After the group got to their destination, Matthews said, they dropped off their canoes and hiked back to the station where they started. From the gorges and grasslands, to the watering holes and waterfalls, students explored the terrain and learned about local cattle stations during the backpacking session. During the last week of the hiking session, the group split in two and set off on student expeditions, without their instructors. “It was sort of our final exam — being on our own and using all the skills we’ve learned like navigation and first aid,” Matthews said. “That was like the last hurrah before we got back to the station.” On the first day, Matthew led his group about seven kilometers to a watering hole.
“The only way to experience it is to do this trip and have an open mind,” Matthews said. “When I went out there for the first few weeks, I had a lot of trouble. But after getting used to it, I loved it and I didn’t want to leave.” For more information about the National Outdoor Leadership School, visit www.nols.edu.
Chase Matthews (second from left) on his wilderness expedition. Courtesy photo “That was probably the greatest moment for me, just because it was a way of showing that I was able to complete my course and I was able to go out on my own,” he said. “It was just beautiful out there. It’s so far away from everything and really quiet. It’s surreal being around nothing, really.” To conclude the expedition, Matthews and his group explored the Bardi homelands for a week, and learned about the Aboriginal people who live in and around Broome, Australia. Matthews was inspired to participate in a wilderness expedition after his older brother completed a course several years ago. He took a semester off to go on the trip. “He really liked it,” Matthews said. “When he got back and told me about it, I became interested in doing it.” Based in Wyoming, the National Outdoor Leadership School is a nonprofit outdoor education school dedicated to teaching environmental ethics, technical outdoor skills, safety and judgment, and leadership on extended wilderness expeditions. A water polo player in high school and frequent camper, Matthews has always enjoyed outdoor and physical activities. He encouraged others to learn more about the National Outdoor Leadership School and take the semester-long course.

The candy is donated to troops overseas and children are given $1 per pound (up to 5 pounds). Last year the drive was a big success, collecting 3,542 pounds of candy, 271 Beanie Babies and 1,127 cards and letters for the troops. The Buy Back will be held on Thursday, Nov. 7, between 3-7 p.m. at Dr. Chan’s new dental office located at 12835 Pointe Del Mar Way #3 in Del Mar. Children must be present and must have or make a card for the troops in order to receive their cash. Each child will leave with a free toothbrush kit, to brush away any damage from the Halloween candy they kept. Come and personally thank a few military heroes who will be present for the event. Dr. Chan encourages every one of all ages to donate any leftover candy to receive a raffle ticket for a chance to win an iPad mini, a professional teeth whitening and other great prizes. Candy donations will be accepted all week following Halloween. For more information, call (858) 481-9090 or visit www.CurtisChanDDS.com.
On Nov. 5, Del Mar Village will be designated as a California Main Street community by the California Main Street Alliance. Recognizing historic commercial districts that serve as a model for successful community revitalization, the Del Mar Village Association will be presented with the official certification. Each year, the California Main Street Alliance (CAMSA) awards California Main Street designation to cities, towns or neighborhoods that have reinvigorated the economic health of their historic Main Street central business districts. These award-winning communities demonstrate proven success in creating economic vitality, a unique sense of place and a strong commitment to the community by all stakeholders. To achieve the prestigious designation, a community must meet all of the criteria outlined in the CAMSA’s Main Street Four Point ApproachŽ. The first point, organization, involves building a Main Street framework that is well represented by companies and economic development organizations that work together to enhance the neighborhood’s business district. The second point, promotion, creates excitement in a commercial districts by encouraging street festivals, parades and events that drive visitors to the community. The third point, design, is focused on evaluating the attractiveness of the business district, including the perception that it is a clean and safe place. The fourth point, economic restructuring, analyzes current market forces to develop long-term success and attract new businesses to the district. By carefully integrating the four points into a practical neighborhood business district management strategy, Del Mar Village has proven itself as a vibrant community, enhancing the economic, social and cultural standings of California’s historic downtowns. Del Mar is the 27th community in California to achieve esteemed California Main Street status. The designation ceremony will be attended by local dignitaries, County Supervisor Dave Roberts, Mayor Terry Sinnott, members of the Del Mar City Council, and representatives from the California Main Street Alliance. The ceremony will held on Nov. 5 at 5 p.m. at L’Auberge Del Mar in the Emerald Ballroom. For more information, visit www.camainstreet.org.

Del Mar school district Town Hall meeting to be held Nov. 6
AUTHOR
The Del Mar Union School District will hold a community town hall on its Facilities Master Plan at Del Mar Hills Academy on Wednesday, Nov. 6, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. The town hall will be held in an open house format with information stations. People will be able to provide input to the school district about planning for the future. A master plan outreach community has so far met three times as the district works toward a plan that will be presented to the board in January 2014. They have discussed individual site needs and what classrooms and campuses should look like, enrollment projections and capacity issues. At the latest meeting, Oct. 29, the committee looked at two potential plans to address space needs at Ashley Falls and Sycamore Ridge. One proposal was to replace the Childcare Development Center portables at Ashley Falls with permanent buildings and re-locate the CDC and special education preschool program from Sycamore Ridge to Torrey Hills School by constructing new buildings on that campus and extending the parking lot. Another proposal looked at building the district’s ninth school in East Pacific Highlands Ranch. For more information on the facilities master plan, visit dmusd.org.
took her children home and put the children straight to bed. They hadn’t allowed her to buy food so they would not eat, she told them. “They learned. This is how you teach kids right from wrong,� Berlin said. Berlin admits that it wasn’t always easy. She recalls the worst thing she felt she did as a parent, when her oldest child got in trouble and was told she would not be going to Disneyland with the family the next day. Her husband couldn’t believe she said it and neither could she but because she had and consistency was important, they left her behind the next day. “We all had a horrible time at Disneyland,� Berlin said. “But it taught them that there’s consequences in everything you do. Everything you do in life has consequences, there’s consequences when you’re 5, there’s consequences when you’re 40.� Berlin believes in building confidence and self esteem in children not through constant compliments but preparing them for the realities of a difficult world. She said she built confidence in her children
Del Mar Hillside Community Association to hold meeting on planned development The Del Mar Hillside Community Association is holding a meeting on Thursday, Nov. 7, from 5-7 p.m., regarding a planned development that will house 54 families on the southeast corner property at the intersection of Jimmy Durante Boulevard and San Dieguito Road.

by pushing them to accomplish things that were difficult, by having a plan and working hard to accomplish that plan. As Sasha wrote, her parents created positive energy, pushed them to have drive, do better and be better because “they knew we were capable of it.� As a result, Berlin said her children are her best accomplishment. “They’re grounded, kind, caring, they have high integrity and they help people,� Berlin said. “It was all done by teaching them what’s right and what’s wrong and setting good ex-
amples.� Since releasing the ebook on Amazon about a month ago, it has been doing well. She is working on getting the book published in print. Berlin said she feels like she may have another book in her, this one on relationships. “I think nobody courts anymore,� Berlin said. “It’s so sad.� Yana’s rules on dating are just as strict — as her son knows well, it’s never OK for a woman to pay. As Stephanie is about to have her first child, Berlin is looking forward to being a
grandmother. And Stephanie is looking forward to passing along what her mother taught her. “My mom is an incredible woman,� wrote Stephanie. “If you proactively apply just some of these tenets to your children and family, it will change your life. It won’t be easy but it will positively evolve your relationships and bring a new level of respect and friendship between you and your spouse, your children and even your own parents.� Berlin’s book, “Life is a Blender,� is available at amazon.com.

taxed the appropriate amount. And because of my rather suspicious nature when it comes to public agencies, I’d like to be assured that property owners in the San Dieguito district are not being handed an additional charge to pay for the fix. The cost to rectify the error will need to be paid, of course, by taxpayers – but by taxpayers county-wide, not just district-wide, since the work will need to be done by the county’s financial services department and the treasurer-tax collector’s office. Determining the amount to be refunded to 70,000 property owners, and issuing and mailing checks to each of them, will cost the county a pretty penny. The expense to fix this increases sizably when one factors in the time spent last week and this week for public employees to huddle together, with costly outside
legal counsel involved, pondering how to resolve the problem. And what work is not getting done while county officials are consumed with this crisis? Any undue delays in issuing refund checks after people pay their tax bills in full will be unacceptable, so will extra staff need to be hired temporarily to implement the fix? Whoever is responsible for the debacle is certainly not going to pay personally – although someone needs to have their hands slapped for this. Understanding what this will cost, and who will pay, is another piece of information that needs to be released. As we move past this disturbing opening chapter on San Dieguito’s bond measure, property owners need to remain vigilant – for the next 30 to 40 years. — Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr. com.
continued from page 7 amount per $100,000 in assessed value seems to be a moving target (first $25, then $37.50, then corrected to $21.50, and now settling in at $23.11), this uncertainty and fluctuation do not inspire confidence that the involved government agencies can calculate accurately. I’m envisioning a dartboard as the system used for arriving at the right number. To rebuild trust, the school district should feel an ethical obligation to release all the data, charts, graphs, documents and other relevant bond information it supplied to the county. Then let independent bond and financial experts (certainly not the paid financial advisors the district or the county uses) decipher the language, evaluate the numbers for accuracy, and verify that the public is being

Canyon Crest Academy’s Humanities Conservatory and Quest announce Nov. 5 visit by Jay Harman Naturalist, inventor, and entrepreneur, Jay Harman will be at Canyon Crest Academy to talk about biomimicry on Nov. 5 at 1:35 p.m. in the Proscenium Theater and at 6:30 p.m. in the Media Center. Harman has taken a hands-on approach to his lifelong fascination with natural fluid systems. In the process, he has grown successful biomimicry companies that design innovative products, ranging from prize-winning watercraft, to a non-invasive technology for measuring blood glucose, to his most recent companies, PAX Scientific and its subsidiaries. With a goal to show manufacturing industries that more efficient equipment is profitable for both shareholders and the environment, PAX designs equipment including fans, mixers, pumps, refrigeration systems, and distillation systems, all based on Harman’s revolutionary understanding of nature’s methods for streamlining fluid flow. QUEST is a program designed to provide students who are motivated by curiosity and are capable of independent learning with an authentic science experience. The Humanities Conservatory is the newest discipline in the Envision program at Canyon Crest Academy and aims to develop foundational skills for advanced scholarship in the humanities. The focus is on mastery of research methodology and introductory consideration of the four core humanities disciplines: philosophy; theology; civics and ethics. Students preparing for careers in research, writing, the arts, education, business, law and government will be best prepared through participation in this Conservatory, which is made possible through parent donations to the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation (www.canyoncrestfoundation.org). The 1:30 p.m. lecture is free for students and staff. For the 6:30 p.m. lecture tickets will be sold at the door.

Del Mar Times Solana Beach Sun Carmel Valley News
Letters to the Editor/Opinion
3702 Via de la Valle Suite 202W Del Mar, CA 92014 858-756-1403
The ad hoc committee recently appointed by the Solana Beach City Council to look at options for the Fletcher Cove Community Center usage seems to be caught between a rock and a hard place. However, a reasonable solution to the dilemma exists: There is a way to change the regulations for FCCC usage if nuisances arise. I propose the following: Announce a one-year trial period for the adopted initiative, with a formal council review of its effects at the sixmonth point and at year-end. If events prove that a clear nuisance exists from noise, liquor usage and/or parking, then modify the Solana Beach Municipal Code — to which the initiative is tied — to address these specific points. There is wide latitude in the items the code can address; the list of topics runs from yearly increases in sewer service charges to weightier issues of public safety and community issues both small and large. I believe it is both useful and necessary to preserve the approach of a trial period. During such period, residents anywhere in Solana Beach are afforded the protections they currently enjoy under the existing code. And private parties in residential neighborhoods anywhere in the city that serve any kind of liquor fall under the same existing regulations that protect the neighbors. If those prove to be insufficient for FCCC usage, then they can be tightened. This approach has the added benefit in that the council is tackling the problem from a different angle: It makes the assumption that the overwhelming majority of FCCC users will be responsible adults who respect neighbors’ concerns. The compromise policy now in effect seems to imply that FCCC users cannot be assumed to be responsible and must therefore be regulated before any transgressions occur. Perhaps the approach outlined above will alleviate some of the public rancor over this discussion and lead to successful, non-controversial usage of a beautiful Solana Beach asset.

Fletcher Cove redux
Coming soon: Welcome to Del Mar? More than 125 people, or 54 families, are proposed to live on the southeast corner of Jimmy Durante Boulevard and San Dieguito Road. This project denounces those values, which represent our scenic beach town and conformity to environmental standards. 1. Valuable sensitive land site Del Mar exemplifies great location and quality of life while being protective of our environment. All this has been supported and enforced through our zoning laws, conforming residential uses to lower densities and tempered for environmental concerns. Our city’s appeal/allure is internationally renown and shall always serve us well, as a most special place to visit and live. This corner lot is our “Welcome to Del Mar.” 2. Disregarded values will damage Del Mar The city of Del Mar plans to change zoning to highdensity residential, eliminate existing building code restrictions for height limitations, rear set backs, number of housing units per acre, view obstructions, traffic congestion, etc. This will cause irrevocable damage to residents’ lives, home values, neighborhoods, community and environment. This oversized and out-of-character apartment development for 54 families, shall cause more than 125 people to live on this corner. This creates a more dense intensive use, especially in the evenings, versus commercial, which winds down and turns off. All those interested, please attend a public meeting [on this issue] from 5-7 p.m. on Nov. 7 at the Parish Hall in St. Peter’s Episcopal Church. For more information, contact the Del Mar Hillside Community Association at 858-663-4801 or delmarhillside@ yahoo.com. Arnold Wiesel, president, Del Mar Hillside Community Association Del Mar

Why did 2,000 voters sign the petitions? The opponents of the Fletcher Cove Community Center initiative seem to be totally confused. They clearly don’t understand the purpose of an “initiative,” which by definition is the first step in a process to initiate an action for change. This is a legal option, which is sometimes necessary when elected officials refuse to take action or take action that appears not to be in the best interest of the constituents. I want to reiterate that residents of this community are not stupid. They knew that by signing the petition, they were asking the City Council to adopt the initiative without change. They also knew that if the City Council refused to adopt the initiative, they were compelled to let the voters decide the issue. It is clearly stated on the initiative just above the line for signatures: “We the undersigned, duly registered, qualified voters of the City of Solana Beach, hereby present to the City Council this petition and request that the following proposed amendments to the municipal code of the City of Solana Beach either be adopted immediately by the Council of the City of Solana Beach, or immediately submit this measure to the registered and qualified voters of the City of Solana Beach at a special election for their adoption or rejection pursuant to the California Election Code.” This issue is not complicated. Since the initiative is in compliance with city codes, it can simply be adopted without alteration. We are not playing games, covering up the truth or trying to mislead the residents. Our goal is to open up the community center for private celebrations and use by the residents of Solana Beach. That is why 2,000 voters signed the petitions. Mary Jane Boyd
Main Street or mixed-use? Let’s discuss it! Kilroy wants a Main Street, and thus, dismisses the two smaller alternatives to its One Paseo proposal. Does the community want a Main Street? I don’t think so, not at the cost of an additional 23,854 to 26,961 average daily automobile trips. Remember, these trips are generated by those high-end stores Kilroy wants to attract to make the Main Street concept work. They come from a 10-mile radius and will affect not just Carmel Valley, but the surrounding communities of Del Mar Heights, Del Mar Terrace, and the cities of Del Mar and Solana Beach. In the months of discussion we’ve had over One Paseo since it was first proposed, I think, community opinion has gelled. A mixed-use development is desirable compared to an employment center. Any development at all is going to make the existing horrendous traffic worse, but no one believes land can remain undeveloped. So why should we allow Kilroy to press upon us its Main Street concept when mixeduse, with many of the same advantages, can be achieved with “only” 11,001 additional average daily automobile trips? It is arrogant, indeed, to dismiss a seemingly sensible alternative for the region. A mix of multi-family housing and stores and restaurants that meet local needs could enliven our community, and provide an appealing gathering place. Who knows, maybe we can leave the car at home sometimes! Come and hear others’ opinions and express your own at the Torrey Pines Community Planning Board’s Nov. 14 meeting. The meeting will begin at 7 p.m. in the Del Mar Hills Academy auditorium on Mango Drive. We have invited the mayoral candidates and await their responses. Representatives from Kilroy have declined previous invitations, but we will extend the invitation again for their explanation of the new alternatives. A representative from the city’s Development Services Department has also been asked to give us some clarity on the Main Street concept and the general plan’s City of Villages concept. We’ll make sure the agenda is published widely; meanwhile, save the date! Diana Scheffler, Architect Torrey Pines Community
Reduce One Paseo but keep Main Street environment Regarding the article, “Re-circulation of Carmel Valley One Paseo project EIR to be released” posted online Oct. 23, 2013, it strikes me that the smallest of the alternatives to One Paseo is nothing more than a non-descript, traffic-inducing strip mall. Enough is enough. A lot of us are very tired of this fight, and would hope that the decision makers in our city wouldn’t waste the time and resources on discussing whether a strip mall is appropriate for this site in the heart of Carmel Valley. Clearly, it is not in my opinion. The best alternative is the one that reduces One Paseo but keeps the Main Street environment and a village atmosphere that will serve our community.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion
Solana Beach City Council needs to take a Unveiling to be held of the drawing of strong stand and refuse to adopt the initiative the new ‘Veterans Honor Courtyard’ The group behind the Fletcher Cove Community Center party policy initiative has taken political campaigning to a new low in Solana Beach. Over the past several months, our community has watched this small well-funded group mislead voters into signing a petition for a special election, and then try to bully the City Council into adopting their initiative by using the cost of the election as leverage. Now, our council members are faced with the choice of spending the money for a special election or adopting a bad law that can only be changed through another election. Is the City Council really between a rock and a hard place? No, they are not! Council members unanimously agree the initiative policy is a bad law. Adopting this bad law would not only set a bad precedent; it would reward those that used deceitful tactics to get the city into this mess! Calling for a special election is the right thing to do. Yes, the special election comes with quite a price tag — we can all thank the initiative’s sponsors for that; but we will pay a far greater price if the council adopts the initiative outright. Adopting the initiative’s policy will set a new standard for what is acceptable when it comes to making laws in Solana Beach. It will provide an incentive to people who have the money and political know-how to coerce the council into adopting an initiative to avoid the cost of a special election. Do we really want to give an unequal amount of power to those with the greatest means? You may have been told that the city can adopt the initiative and then modify the code when problems arise, or that the city can regulate the use of the community center using the existing code. False and false! The City Council has made it very clear that if the initiative is adopted and problems arise, their only recourse to fix the problems would be to hold a citywide election and let the public vote on the changes. You may not know that the law prohibits the city from campaigning in an election — even for a city-sponsored initiative! Therefore, the burden will fall on a citizen’s group to pay for and support a campaign to fix the problems created by the initiative’s intensive policy. Meanwhile, Solana Beach citizens will be living with the parking, traffic, safety and noise problems likely to arise from the party policy initiative. And what about the city’s ability to regulate the party policy using the existing code? Just another attempt to confuse the voters. If adopted — or passed in an election — the initiative overrides parking, noise and alcohol laws. If adopted, the initiative amends city code specifically to circumvent our current ordinances and allow “special event” permits to be issued for private parties on two days of every weekend
at the community center. The city will not be able to change the number of days the facility can be used on weekends, even if other city events are taking place on the same day. The community center does not have a parking lot, but the initiative creates an exception for 100 private guests at the community center — estimated to be 60-75 cars — to park their cars on the street in the area around Fletcher Cove Park. City law prohibits alcohol from being consumed at the beach, parks and all city-owned property — including La Colonia Community Center — but the initiative creates another exception and allows alcohol to be served only at Fletcher Cove Community Center. Noise laws do not allow sound to go beyond 60 decibels, but the initiative allows live bands to play amplified music on two days of every weekend. Again, the initiative creates an exception for the community center. This past summer, the City Council established a policy that allows residents to rent the community center for private parties on two weekends per month. Residents can rent the facility for meetings, weddings, birthdays, bar mitzvahs or anniversary parties and enjoy a couple of glasses of wine during the event. The city policy took into consideration all sides: the residents’ desire to use the facility, the people that want to use the beach and park, the customers that want to shop and dine on Highway 101 and the Plaza, and the homeowners that live in the Fletcher Cove area. Most importantly, the city policy can be modified up or down, without requiring an election. A flexible policy is the most prudent option for the long-term regulation of the community center. The City Council needs to take a strong stand and refuse to adopt the initiative. Give the sponsors of the party policy initiative their special election. Voters deserve the right to vote on the party policy initiative. In this election, the voters will also decide whether they want their elected officials making city law or people with money to use voter initiatives and strong-armed tactics to create laws. Voters should ask themselves why the party policy initiative group is pushing so hard for adoption after they forced the need for a special election. And why don’t they want the voters to have their say? Councilman David Zito said it best, “It is a choice between doing what’s right versus trying to save a lot of money.” Let’s hope the entire City Council chooses to do what’s right by not adopting a bad law and, instead, sending the initiative to the voters of Solana Beach. Robert Glatts, Solana Beach

A year ago, I approached the city of Solana Beach and offered to form a committee and work with the city to enhance the present Veterans Memorial at La Colonia Park. Little did I know, there were plans incorporated in the La Colonia Park Master Plan for a place to honor our veterans, living or not, and our enlisted troops. Presently, there is a wall of honor inside the park auditorium that Chuckles Hernandez created with photographs of our veterans and troops from Eden Gardens who have served or are serving. Several served during World War II, but there’s very few of them left. Chuckles would like to see this project come to fruition before any more pass. The city and our committee would like to see that as well. Each year since the memorial was created in the mid-1990s, the local VFW under the guidance of Randy Treadway, joins the city in beautiful celebrations for both Memorial Day and Veterans Day. These ceremonies include music from the Santa Fe Christian band and the Young Marines Color Guard. White doves are released into the sky after “Taps” is played. It is truly a poignant ceremony and very well attended. It gives me great pleasure to invite each of you to the unveiling of the drawing of the new “Veterans Honor Courtyard” at La Colonia Park on Veterans Day, Nov. 11, at 11 a.m. We will officially kick off the fundraiser and sell beautiful tiles to remember soldiers who have served. We will also ask for public donations and sponsorships. I’m inviting each and every one of you to come to the ceremony and bring your friends and neighbors. Light refreshments will be served, and it’s a great opportunity to pay tribute to our veterans and military. Please join us and help us complete this project as soon as possible so that the last remaining WWII vets can see it. Thank you. Tere Renteria Former Mayor and Councilmember City of Solana Beach
WATER continued from page 4 Forty-three percent of their total expenses on the water side is just to bring water to San Diego. Stallman said the public utilities department will see an overall revenue increase of 7.25 percent, but the amount of increase an individual customer will see on their bill will vary depending on how much water they use. Meter charges are proposed to be reduced starting in 2014 so a large portion of the city’s customers may actually see a decrease in their rates, Stallman said. Most single-family residential home’s meter size is 5/8 inch or 3/4 inch and for that size the monthly charge would go from $19.33 to
DIRT continued from page 4 pacts to sensitive biological resources upstream and offsite. To mitigate the impacts on its man-made wetlands, the developer agreed to enhance the area and the area adjacent to McGonigle Creek, increasing the value of the area to wildlife and net gain of an extra 10 acres of high value biological resources. “We’re creating extra for many reasons. The integrity of any wildlife restoration is enhanced by its size, more magnitude is more sustainable,” Metcalf said. “I
$18.89. One-inch meter sizes will go from $28.46 a month to $25.59; two inch meters will go from $75.44 a month to $60.03. “Many people say ‘I conserve and yet my bill keeps going up’. We feel your pain,” Stallman said. The city is proposing four monthly billing tiers that would incentivize people to use less water. For a family that uses a low 400-cubic-feet (hcf) of water a month, their bill could go from $33.77 a month to $33.45 a month in 2014 and $35.95 a month in 2015. Stallman said the average family uses 12 hcf, which would represent an increase in a current bill of $64.20 to $66.09 in 2014 and $70.99 in 2015. For a single-family that uses more water, such as 25
hcf, their bill could leap from $120.44 currently to $170.15 by 2015. “High volume users are going to feel the pinch,” Stallman said. “Hopefully it will incentivize conservation. Residents do have a say in these increases. Written comments can be submitted to the city before the Nov. 21 hearing. If they receive 50 percent plus one in protest, the rate increases cannot go forward. Every resident was mailed a notice of pubic hearing with protest instructions — they must be mailed in. The Nov. 21 hearing will begin at 10 a.m. at the city administration building, 202 C Street, San Diego, 12th floor. To download the public notice or learn more about this issue, visit sandiego.gov/water/ rates.
don’t think the homeowners object to what we’re doing, they just object to the fill coming out of there and being stored next to their houses.” The area in question, lot five, is a 14.3-acre area of the 32-acre property. Metcalf said 4 acres of the 14 is the stream and involves no grading. The stockpile represents the amount of soil created through the dredging necessary to prepare the proposed wetland creation area. He said the fill is a variable slope and they have pulled in the highest
part away from Rancho Santa Fe Farms Road. The highest part adjacent to the road is 13 feet. While they are meeting the terms of the city’s stipulated judgment for the violation, Metcalf said they are just not meeting the compatibility with surrounding neighbors. Already Metcalf said the developer has agreed to stockpile 62,500 cubic feet rather than the initially proposed 80,000. White is hoping that some kind of compromise can be met before it is heard at the planning board level.

Local Little League golf teams shine This past summer Little League golf came to San Diego County. Twelve teams from 12 different golf courses around the county participated, with boys and girls competing in the same 13 and under age division. The format was a two-person scramble and fun was had by all. This year the team from Encinitas Ranch Golf Course, coached by John Mason, won the San Diego City Championship. The team (above, left) included, from left to right front row, Dylan Oyama, Nicolas Barth, Justin McGrath, Gian-Luca Martinez, Tiana Teatai Ariki; back row Tommy Stephenson, Darian Zhao, George Wythes, Ryan Fredericks, coach John Mason, Christopher Weedman and 7-year-old Jay Leng on Christopher’s shoulders. After the City Championship an All Star team was formed (above, right) which consisted of front row Christopher Weedman, Encinitas Ranch; Gian-Luca Martinez, Encinitas Ranch; Ryan Ffrench, The Grand Del Mar; Alex Conley, Santaluz; back row coach John Mason, Darian Zhao, Encinitas Ranch; Justin McGrath, Encinitas Ranch; Shane Ffrench, The Grand Del Mar; Ryan Smith, Aviara and assistant coach Trevor Young of The Grand Del Mar.
Not in picture Tommy Stephenson, Encinitas Ranch and Kevin Jiang, The Grand Del Mar. This team traveled to Palm Springs where they defeated the All Star team from Arizona and advanced to the West Coast regionals at Haggin Oaks golf course in Sacramento. On Saturday Aug. 17, they defeated the All Star team from Portland, Oregon in the morning and then the All Star team from Los Angeles in the afternoon to advance to the final match the next day against the defending national champion San Francisco team, winner going to the national finals. The San Diego players were awesome, hanging in there against a much larger opponent and almost pulled off the upset, losing the match by one stroke. The Nationals were conducted this year in Atlanta, Georgia. Congratulations to all the players, coaches and parents in San Diego for a great 2013 and looking forward for the fun and excitement to start again in June 2014. For information about playing in next year’s event please contact John Mason at 760-473-8483.

Alice Hoffman to share ‘Survival Lessons’ at Words Alive luncheon BY ASHLEY MACKIN Alice Hoffman, author of “Survival Lessons” (among many other novels, short fiction pieces and children’s books) will be the main speaker at the Words Alive Luncheon, noon, Nov. 12 at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines, 10950 North Torrey Pines Road. Though less than 100 pages, “Survival Lessons” is filled with lessons learned from Hoffman’s battle with breast cancer – just don’t call it a breast cancer book. Dealing with so much more than breast cancer alone, the author said, “Survival Lessons deals with trauma in general and examines way to find beauty in the world even in the darkest times.” Each chapter starts with a suggested choice, such as “Choose your heroes,” “Choose to enjoy yourself” and “Choose to share.” “When terrible things happen most of us feel like victims,” she said, “but even if we can’t change the circumstances – an illness or a loss – we can choose to change the way we react and respond.” Hoffman’s works regularly earn acclaim, including her book, “Here On Earth,” which was included in Oprah’s Book Club and “Practical Magic,” which was later adapted into a film of the same name starring Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman. Having always written fiction, Hoffman said she never felt the need to write nonfiction. However, when she was diagnosed with breast cancer in 1998, she couldn’t find a book that spoke to her, so she wrote one. “Books were my life raft,” she said. “A big part of survivorship for me is being a reader and a writer.” Hoffman knows a thing or two about survival, having beaten cancer and having a clean bill of health today. She will speak about survivorship at the Words Alive luncheon, which is the signature fundraiser for the organization. Patrick Stewart, Execu-
Local resident shines light on taboo practice in documentary film ‘Children of the Omo’ •J ohn Rowe and Lale Labuko also receive Lowell Thomas Award in Washington, D.C.
Alice Hoffman tive Director of Words Alive, said Hoffman’s participation is a good fit for a number of reasons. “Survival Lessons is a testament to how we move forward, and while her book is about moving through cancer, but it translates across the board,” he said. “She is one of America’s most prolific authors, and many of our audience members can resonate with the works she’s created.” He added that her personality makes her relatable to a number of people. “She represents longevity and talent, and we’re celebrating the 10th anniversary of the lunch and 15th year in existence, so it’s a natural fit.” Words Alive, through various programs through the county, focus on literacy in San Diego. Stewart added that Hoffman is a longtime supporter of those programs. For example, in the Early Literacy Intervention program, trained volunteers read to preschooler from low-income communities. They also have Family Literacy Workshops that teach parents the importance of early literacy and ways to make family reading time fun for everyone. Tickets for the event are $100 and come with a copy of “Survival Lessons.” Hoffman said her author’s advance from “Survival Lessons” would be donated to the Hoffman Breast Cancer Center at Mount Auburn Hospital in Cambridge, Mass. Tickets are available at WordsAlive.org
BY KRISTINA HOUCK She gave birth to 16 children, but only two are alive today. The Ethiopian mother lost two of her children from natural causes. The other 12 were killed. After elders of the Kara tribe declared the 12 children “mingi,” or cursed, they were sacrificed in ritual killings. The woman’s story is among those in a documentary film by Rancho Santa Fe resident John Rowe. Under the working title “Omo Child” or “Children of the Omo,” the film details the secretive, taboo practice that extends back generations among tribes of Ethiopia’s Omo River valley. It also follows Rowe and Lale Labuko’s work to rescue mingi children and end the practice. For their advocacy work, the pair received the Lowell Thomas Award from the Explorers Club at a dinner on Oct. 26 in Washington, D.C. “I think that true stories can be so much more compelling,” Rowe said. “When you have real people telling their stories, it’s very powerful.” Although he is producer and director of the film, Rowe is primarily a photographer. Originally, he set out to document tribal life in remote regions of Africa. It was during a trip to Africa in 2004 that he met Labuko, who served as his guide and translator. Born and raised in southwest Ethiopia, Labuko has devoted his life to rescuing mingi children. At 15 years old, Labuko became aware of the practice when he witnessed village elders taking a small child from its mother. His parents later told him about mingi, and he learned that two of his sisters had been declared mingi and killed. Children born out of wedlock, children whose

Tribal elders fear mingi children can bring famine, drought and disease, so they are drowned in the river or left to die in the bush. Labuko, who is studying economics on a scholarship at Hampshire College in Massachusetts, had already rescued 24 children when he informed Rowe about the practice and asked for assistance. “At that time, he didn’t have enough money to feed the kids. He didn’t know where to turn. He asked me for help,” Rowe said. “It was a request I couldn’t refuse.” Rowe and Labuko co-founded Omo Child, a nonprofit organization that provides a safe home and quality education for rescued mingi children. Omo Child has since rescued 13 more children, who live in two rental homes in a village called Jinka, in the region where Labuko’s home village, Dus, is located. All of the children are under 10, with many still in diapers. They are cared for by nannies hired by Omo Child. “I never expected to do anything like this,” said Rowe, a Los Angeles native who developed and marketed video games for 25 years before becoming a photographer. “I had no intention of getting involved beyond simply getting to know the people and photographing them like I have done all over the world. “But when Lale came to me for help, it was one of those situations where you find yourself having to respond. The only way I could respond was with all of my energy and all of my heart to try and help these kids survive.” Omo Child has not only helped 37 children survive, but countless others who could have been killed. Until recently, three Omo Valley tribes practiced mingi: the Kara, the Banna and the Hamer tribes. The Kara and Banna tribes have since ended the practice. “Omo Child is really responsible for the awareness of this whole issue,” Rowe said. “It brought it to the attention of the government of Ethiopia. It brought it to the attention of the world. People have been working to try to change that now.” Rowe and Labuko traveled to Dus village to attend the official Kara tribal ceremony that marked the end of the practice on July 14, 2012. Since then, they have met several infants who would have been considered mingi and killed in the past. Today, they are living in the village as accepted tribal members. “It’s remarkable,” Rowe said. “That’s really the proof
that the culture has changed. It’s one thing to say they’re ending it, it’s another thing to see children who otherwise would have been killed. It’s a wonderful thing.” Their work is not over, however, The Hamer tribe, with an estimated population of 50,000 and a more decentralized tribal governance, continues to practice mingi. Rowe hopes his documentary will further expose the mingi practice and help end the practice completely. He has interviewed dozens of people in Ethiopia, including the parents of mingi children, tribal elders and government officials. “It brings attention to Omo Child and the needs of 37 children who are lucky to be alive,” Rowe said. “For me, it’s all about those 37 kids.” Committed to helping Labuko provide for the children, Rowe hopes other will hear about their story and eventually watch the documentary — which is now in post-production — and join their cause. “We need help for these kids. That’s why we’re making the movie. That’s why I’ve continued to tell the story and all my efforts are going into this,” Rowe said. “I’m really focused on making sure that these kids are given an opportunity to have a good life. “We want to make sure they’re loved, well cared for, have the medicine and medical care they need, have the food they need, and get the best education possible so in the future, in this part of Ethiopia, they will be contributors to their society, and potentially be the teachers and leaders of tomorrow. That really is our goal and our dream.” Rowe and Labuko were recently interviewed by Ann Curry at NBC News, who is telling their story on NBC Nightly News and the Today show sometime in December.

Life is a ‘string of surreal situations’ for exploding rock band ‘The 1975’ •B and to perform at The Belly Up Nov. 3 BY ROB LEDONNE It’s a damp, October afternoon in Portland, Oregon and Matthew Healy is being greeted by throngs of screaming fans. “This is what my life is now,” he yells over the phone. “Just groups of women waiting outside of doors for me to leave places. This year has been a delirious ride for us.” Healy isn’t kidding. As the frontman for Manchester, England-based band “The 1975” he went from simply recording various tracks in his bedroom with his friends in the UK to becoming one of the music industry’s most buzzed-about bands and a runaway success story. Their debut album was a smash hit in the U.S., and went to number 1 in England and Scotland (besting Nine Inch Nails’ highly anticipated comeback album), and even earned the boys a coveted gig supporting The Rolling Stones this past summer. “My life right now is a string of surreal situations strung together,” explained Healy. “To have this go from our bedroom and be as grassroots as that to being the hottest band at the mo-
“The 1975.” Photo/Dave Ma ment... I don’t know how I feel about it or how I’m expected to feel.” Healy and the band are currently on the road for a headlining tour which will take them to Solana Beach’s Belly Up Tavern on Nov. 3, and a long way away from their English roots. “To me, Southern California is synonymous with the skate movies I watched when I was a skate kid who couldn’t skate. When we got here, we found it’s almost like a liberal haven that’s gone a bit too far,” Healy says of his San Diego perceptions. “When you first go on tour, you have predetermined ideas about what shows in different cities will be like, but I realized that I shouldn’t assume so much. For example, our show in Salt Lake City was just as great as our show in New York. I’m really looking forward to the Belly Up gig, though. Everyone’s so relaxed. I love the attitude there.” Overall, Healy said his tour through the United States has been “logistically intense.” While he’s been to the U.S. numerous times before, his first time here with the band was for Austin’s South by Southwest Music and Arts Festival in April; while there, they performed 11 gigs in five days. Since then (in support of their self-titled album which dropped in September), they’ve notched 250 performances so far and are due to climb up to 320 by the end of the year. “There’s been loads of highlights for us so far, it’s diffi-
cult to pick them apart,” Healy explains, citing performing alongside Mick Jagger as one of them. “I also met David Byrne (of Talking Heads fame) the other day and he was as weird as I hoped for. It’s been nice, because the bands that we’re fans of are now fans of us.” Today, a variety of their songs (including singles “Sex” and “Chocolate”) are getting major, mainstream radio airtime and sit on both Billboard and iTunes charts, getting there thanks to an equal amount of adoring music critics and fans around the globe, including the very ones waiting outside for Healy on this particular afternoon in Portland. “We haven’t been provided with any hindsight, it’s constantly on to the next thing. People ask me what I’m worried about, and I’m worried about slowing down,” he notes before he hangs up the phone to go back to tending to his waiting group of screaming fans. “At the moment we’re burning so bright.” The 1975 perform on Sunday, Nov. 3, at Solana Beach’s Belly Up Tavern. Doors open at 8 p.m., the show begins at 9 p.m. Visit www.bellyup.com.
Adopt A Family boutique to support young terror victims in Israel The Adopt A Family Foundation will hold its fourth annual Boutique Event on Thursday, Nov. 14, in Carmel Valley. Adopt a Family is a local non-profit that provides financial and emotional support for Israeli citizens and their families who have been victims of terrorism. The boutique will be held from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the West Highlands Pacific Clubhouse in Pacific Highlands Ranch, featuring vendors such as Peace & Love, Terroir by the Sea, Bella Sereena, Raiscase, Kelly Haas, Sasha and Me, Vivienne K Jewelry, The Miscelleny Shop and many more. The annual boutique supports a new project every year, according to co-founder Carine Chitayat, a Rancho Santa Fe resident. This year, the boutique’s proceeds will sponsor the efforts of author Liora Eilon, who wrote the book “Ha’mitpachad shel Yarden” (Yarden’s fearkercheif”). The book’s goal is to help children deal with their fear and trauma due to the constant bombing in their region. “Ha’mitpachad is not a real word but a combination of two words: it is giving the idea to children to be able to place their fear in a handkerchief, far from their heart and soul. The book will be used as a tool for teachers to be able to work with their young students in the classroom,” said Chitayat. “As a next step, Liora Eilon is hoping to have the book translated to Arabic. The Adopt a Family Foundation is happy to have the opportunity to participate in this worthwhile project.” The West Highlands Pacific Clubhouse is located at 5850 Blazing Star Lane, San Diego (Carmel Valley) 92130.

60th annual Civic and Historical Society of Solana Beach Holiday Boutique set for Nov. 9 BY KRISTINA HOUCK From renovating the Fletcher Cove Community Center to preserving the San Elijo Lagoon, the Civic and Historical Society of Solana Beach has helped better the community for decades. To raise money for various projects, the society hosts its Holiday Boutique every year. The 60th annual event will take place Nov. 9 at La Colonia Community Center. Funds raised this year will go toward scholarships for local students. “We work closely with the city and fill in when there are small things we can get and do for the city, both for historical reasons and civic reasons,” said Solana Beach resident Pam Dalton, who serves as event committee co-chair with Phyllis Schwartzlose. The Holiday Boutique will feature mostly homemade items, including holiday decorations, jewelry and accessories, gifts, and other arts and crafts. Written by Solana Beach historian Jim Nelson, two historical books on the city will also be available. Members will sell baked goods, and the Coffee Café in the patio area will serve
free coffee and provide a place to visit with friends and neighbors. “We find people really enjoy the Holiday Boutique,” Dalton said. “They’ll sit there with a baked good and a cup of coffee, and run into a neighbor they haven’t seen in a while.” The boutique has evolved throughout the past six decades. In 1953, a group of civic-minded women gathered together to create handmade crafts, which they sold during their Christmas Gift Sale and Tea, where community members visited decorated neighborhood homes. Funds raised benefited the newly formed Solana Beach Women’s Civic Club, which was later renamed the Civic and Historical Society. “It evolved over the years,” Dalton said. “Eventually, the decorated housing tour was eliminated and it just became an event where people could gather. There was a craft group by then and they created things and
sold them.” Now, a small group of the Civic and Historical Society meet every month to create handmade items to sell at the annual fundraiser. The 26-member craft group works on individual and group projects. “We have a dandy time putting it together,” Dalton said. “It’s a really sociable group.” The Holiday Boutique will take place from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Nov. 9 at La Colonia Community Center, located at 715 Valley Avenue in Solana Beach. Door prizes will be held throughout the day. A wall art piece will also be raffled off. “It’s become an annual tradition for 60 years,” Dalton said. “It’s supporting our community. It’s supporting the community feel of Solana Beach.” For more information about the Civic and Historical Society, visit solanabeachcivicandhistoricalsociety.org.

Annual San Diego Jewish Book Fair set for Nov. 2-10 BY KRISTINA HOUCK When Emily Bazelon was in eighth grade, her friends â&#x20AC;&#x153;firedâ&#x20AC;? her. Now a mother, senior editor for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Slate Magazine,â&#x20AC;? and a featured speaker at the 19th annual San Diego Jewish Book Fair, Bazelon explored bullying in her new book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sticks and Stones: Defeating the Culture of Bullying and Rediscovering the Power of Character and Empathy.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;A few years ago, I noticed in the news there was a lot of attention on bullying and cyber bullying,â&#x20AC;? said Bazelon, who lives in Connecticut. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As a journalist and a parent, I was curious about what was going on. I looked into how the Internet was changing and what itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like to grow up.â&#x20AC;? In her book, Bazelon explained bullying isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t new, but our attempts to respond to it are. And while the Internet has made bullying more pervasive, Bazelon said, bullying isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t an epidemic. In fact, bullying statistics havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really changed since the 1970s. To effectively deal with bullying, she said, we need to respond to the facts, not our less rational fears. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think we need to have a cultural shift where bullying and the behavior is socially unacceptable,â&#x20AC;? Bazelon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The one encouraging thing in the research is that most kids donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bully and most kids donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like bullying. â&#x20AC;Ś If kids understand this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t something everybody does, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easier for them to stand up to this behavior and not to do it.â&#x20AC;? Bazelon is one of dozens of featured speakers at the San Diego Jewish Book Fair Nov. 2-10. From world events to family relations, more than 30 best-selling writers, journalists and commentators will speak about a variety of topics during the nine-day series. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m always eager to talk to people about this issue,â&#x20AC;? Bazelon said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope people take a sense of hope that kids are often resilient. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really important to help them fill that capacity. Kids are also capable of empathy, and the trick is to help them develop that as well.â&#x20AC;? Starting at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 10, Bazelon will give a presentation and answer questions at Temple Solel in Cardiff. Tickets cost $14 for JCC members and $17 for non-members. Lawyer and political commentator Alan Dershowitz will kick off the book fair with a presentation about his book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taking the Stand: My Life in the Law,â&#x20AC;? at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 2 at the San Diego Center for Jewish Culture at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center in La Jolla. Book Fair events will run through Nov. 10 with North County events Nov. 7-10 at Temple Solel and other locations. All other events, including the free Family Day Booka-Palooza from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Nov. 3, will be held at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center. Author Daniel Jonah Goldhagen will also speak at Temple Solel, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 7. In his new book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Devil That Never Dies: The Rise and Threat of Global Antisemitism,â&#x20AC;? Goldhagen explored the current state of global anti-Semitism. Through the Internet and the political sphere, Goldhagen said, anti-Semitism has transformed and spread in the last two decades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Americans arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t very much aware of this because the

U.S. is the great exception to this, where anti-Semitism has not been rising and transforming into this global form, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s actually been declining,â&#x20AC;? said Goldhagen, who lives in New York. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s because the United States, essentially, has an allergy toward public prejudice. Americans see Jews as Jewish-Americans, as opposed to German Jews, French Jews or British Jews.â&#x20AC;? While anti-Semitism is declining in the U.S., Goldhagen said itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for Americans to be aware of this problem, and he is looking forward to sharing more at the book fair. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope that they come to understand that there is a new global anti-Semitism, different from the past,â&#x20AC;? Goldhagen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very dangerous; we should not be complacent. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to be so because the United States remains the exception to the rest of the world, where anti-Semitism is on the rise. But anti-Semitism has historically produced enormous violence and mass murder, the Holocaust being the most horrific example.â&#x20AC;? Tickets for Goldhagenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s talk cost $16 for JCC members and $19 for non-members. For more information about the San Diego Jewish Book Fair, visit www.sdcjc.org/sdjbf.

The Del Mar Foundation presents The John Jorgenson Quartet at the Del Mar Powerhouse On Friday, Nov. 8, the Del Mar Foundation’s Cultural Arts Committee presents The John Jorgenson Quartet, featuring Grammy-winning guitarist John Jorgenson at the Del Mar Powerhouse. The evening showcases Gypsy jazz: the dynamic blend of swing, French café music, and Gypsy melody created by guitarist Django Reinhardt and violinist Stephane Grappelli in 1930s Paris. The John Jorgenson Quartet is the only American act to ever headline the prestigious Django Reinhardt Memorial Festival in France. For the films “Gattica” and “Head in the Clouds” Jorgenson was tapped to recreate Django’s music, and in the latter he appeared onscreen as Django with Charlize Theron and Penelope Cruz. Jorgenson’s career has spanned many musical styles.
The John Jorgenson Quartet First coming to national attention in the mid-’80s with the acclaimed country-rock act The Desert Rose Band, Jorgenson has recorded or performed with such diverse artists as Bonnie Raitt, Bob Seger, Sting, Willie Nelson, Bob Dylan, Luciano Pavarotti, Benny Goodman, and Barbara Streisand. Elton John invited Jorgenson to join his band in 1994 for an 18 month tour that stretched into a six-year stint of touring, recording and TV appearances. General admission seating ($20) may be purchased at www.delmarfoundation.org/jjq.html. A limited number of tickets are still available. For more information, visit www.delmarfoundation.org.

‘Side Show’ ready to step into the Playhouse spotlight BY DIANA SAENGER The La Jolla Playhouse production of “Side Show,” currently in rehearsal, is among the many highly anticipated shows to play at the theater. In association with the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, “Side Show” is directed by Hollywood legend, Academy Award-winning director Bill Condon. The musical (book and lyrics by Condon) is a reimagining of Henry Krieger (music) and Bill Russell’s (book and lyrics) original production of “Side Show,” and choreographed by Anthony Van Laast. The arresting plot is based on the true story of conjoined twin sisters Violet and Daisy Hilton, who had a circus act in the 1930s. Russell said the idea for the show came from Robert Longbottom, who directed and choreographed the original “Side Show” on Broadway in the mid 1990s. “He pitched me one sentence about it, and then a friend saw a piece on them on TV and said let’s write a musical about them,” Russell said. “I didn’t know anything about them, but the idea of two performers singing, dancing and acting together I thought was inherently theatrical.” In rehearsal, the cast was very animated. As other side-show entertainers rally around the twins for their birthday, talent scout Terry Connor (Manoel Felciano) and song-and-dance man Buddy Foster (Matthew Hydzik) burst in on the party. Terry asks about their dreams and tells them they could make it big in vaudeville. “But we’re sideshow exhibits; we can’t perform in shows like that,” one of the twins responds. But Terry insists, “Every vaudeville show is unusual in some ways.” He tells them they are freaks, but unique, and then belts out a tune about how connected he is and how signing up with him can change their lives. That’s about the time Jake (David St. Louis) steps in to warn them by belting out the tune, “The Devil You Know.” “We worked on the show for about a year, and then I had to do two films (“The Twilight Saga”),” Condon said. “We have almost everyone here from the initial “Side Show,” and we worked closely with The
‘Side Show,’ about conjoined twins, runs at the La Jolla Playhouse through Dec. 15. Melissa Hughes. Kennedy Center to get it on its feet.” Condon won an Academy-Award for his adaptation of “Gods and Monsters,” was nominated for an Oscar for his adapted screenplay “Chicago,” wrote the screenplays and directed “Dream Girls” and “Kinsey,” and directed the recently released “Fifth Estate.” “Side Show” is Condon’s first play, and he’s singing a happy tune. “Working on movies is so intense, you’re left in a vacuum,” Condon said. “Your days are so filled you can’t keep up with phone calls. This experience has been fantastic; I’ve gotten refueled rather than depleted. Bill, Henry and choreographer Anthony Van Laast (“Mama Mia,” “Sister Act”) make a wonderful team. Anthony is going to England to choreograph the Royal Gala performance for the Queen.” Van Laast recalled when he first got the request to choreograph “Side Show.” “I knew these girls had been the highest paid performers in vaudeville, about $4,000 a week,” he said. “I thought if they could do it, we could do it. So my assistant Janet and I, stepped in front of a mirror, strapped ourselves together and started figuring out moves. It was a great time of exploration of movement.” Condon is especially excited about his stars, Erin Davie (“Grey Gardens”) and Emily Padgett (“Rock of Ages”), who play Violet and Daisy Hilton. “This was a challenge and a huge, vocal-chord-busting role as big as ‘Evita,’ and then they have to dance,” Condon said. “These actresses are amazing, and they match each other’s profiles and sound good together. If one of them should get a cold or something it would be a needle in a hay stack to replace them.” Condon said he was bracing himself for tech rehearsal. “It’s a major set with a lot of moving parts, and it will require changes, but I keep asking, ‘when does this stop being fun?’ “There’s a lot of waiting around in movies, but here’s it’s incredibly stimulating all the time. It’s been fun to be scared, and to not know the next step is a little nerve wracking, but I definitely have an appetite for it.”

Rotarians deliver food and supplies to homeless ‘Street Angels’ in Ocean Beach Rotarians and family from the Del Mar area joined with San Diego’s Urban Street Angels to feed the homeless youth of Ocean Beach several weeks ago. After preparing over 80 meals, the Rotary contingent carpooled to Ocean Beach to distribute the meals along with water, socks and hygiene packs. The homeless youth appreciated all, especially the warm food and socks. Some mentioned that this was their first meal in days. Participants included Mark and Susan Hennenfent, Kevin Cahill, Hakan Sakul and his family, Dr. Art Mendoza, Paul Butler and Eduardo Guerra from the Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary Club as well as Rotary Interact Club students from Canyon Crest Academy. The Rotary Club plans to participate regularly with Urban Street Angles. Urban Street Angels is a volunteer-based outreach to the estimated 6,000 homeless youth sleeping on the streets of San Diego each night. Walking the streets, parks, and beaches in small groups on a consistent basis, they pass out meals and supplies, and distribute information about shelters, youth services, medical care, and job opportunities. In doing so, they hope to inspire these “street angels” to change the things they don’t like and to chase after the things they want to achieve. The reference to “angels” comes from a quote in the Bible’s Old Testament (Hebrews 13.2). To Urban Street Angels’ volunteers, each individual they meet on the streets is, in their eyes, an angel.

Art San Diego brings ‘Creative Collisions’ to Balboa Park

Lee Haydu with Ernie and Harvey
BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Now in its fifth year, San Diego’s contemporary art fair, Art San Diego, is gearing up for its best showing yet. The theme this time is “Creative Collisions,” setting the scene for a mix of disciplines, nationalities, street-artists and art institutions coming together at the Activity Center in Balboa Park Nov. 7-10. Founder/director Ann Berchtold said the four-day event expects to attract more than 13,000 visitors from San Diego and beyond, and will include 60 local, national and international exhibitors. Berchtold, who grew up in a family of artists, spends much of her time scouting art fairs in other cities for new talents to bring to Art San Diego. Among this year’s finds are Drew Tal, an Israeli-born, New York City-based photographer, whose most recent body of work, “Worlds Apart,” celebrates the beauty in a diverse range of societies, cultures and religions. His background in fashion and travel photography, combined with a love of digital experimentation and enriched by a hope for mutual understanding, gives a haunting quality to his pieces. From Mexico City comes CORE (COnditions REcycled), an in situ project specially commissioned for the fair. A joint venture by a trio of Mexican architects and designers — Hector Esrawe, Alejandro Tapia and Sebastian Beltran — who are dedicated to extending the borders of architecture, interior and product design, CORE explores new ways of transforming the spaces in which we live. But many of the notables in ArtSD13 are San Diegans, like artist-provocateurs Debby and Larry Kline. Besides bringing a number of their creative works to the fair, they will offer interactive performances, including a tour of the exhibits and a demo of “3Doodler,” a 3-D pen that writes in hard plastic. “It’s great to have the Klines onboard,” said Berchtold. “They combine an intellectual approach to art with such a sense of fun. The 3Doodler company donated a couple of pens for them to play with, and they’ll give fairgoers a chance to play, too.” The Klines are also onboard as winners of the 2013 San Diego Art Prize, along with James Enos, James Hubbell and Brennan Hubbell. Berchtold co-founded the Art Prize seven years ago with artist Patricia Frischer, and all this year’s prize
Mexican-born, San Diego-based artist Becky Guttin will welcome fairgoers with her vibrant red carpet installation, “We can work it out.” Courtesy photo winners will have works on display at the fair. Another featured local is Becky Guttin, whose installation “We can work it out,” a colorful reimagining of symbols from her Mexican childhood that was originally shown at the Oceanside Museum of Art in 2011, will be the red-carpet entry piece to ArtSD13. There will also be installations from local museums and the NewSchool of Architecture, whose students helped design, in cooperation with Noble Environmental Technologies, the café and lounge in the heart of the art fair. Operated by
chef/caterer Giuseppe Ciuffa, known to La Jollans as owner of the Museum Café, the lounge will be a great place to meet, eat and relax from the hectic pace of art fair activity.

Expensive expiration dates – if in doubt, don’t always throw it out The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Some people interpret food “expiration” dates strictly to the letter of the law, tossing items the exact second they hit the date. This mentality, according to a recent study conducted by Harvard Law School’s Food Law and Policy Clinic called The Dating Game, costs American consumers roughly $165 billion a year by prematurely disposing of billions of pounds of perfectly safe to eat foods. Let’s clarify the murky world of expiration dates, with a side order of practical advice on food safety and shelf life. Consumer Confusion Currently there is no uniform system for dating food items in this country, with only one federal requirement that baby food and formulas have an expiration date. So ultimately the consumer has to interpret the bevy of bewildering terms, including, “best by,” “use by” or “sell by,” then make a judgment call on when to ditch their food. Basically, conservative dates are chosen by the manufacturer mainly to protect its brand and having little to do with food safety. “Best by” usually refers to the quality of a shelf-stable product like peanut butter, jam and ketchup. So a jar of spicy brown mustard that is stamped, “Best by September 2013,” is probably safe to consume, although the color, texture and flavor will likely be compromised compared to a jar marked, “Best by April 2014.” “Sell by” is an inventory code telling retailers when to pull the product from their shelves. “Sell bys” are typically used on perish-
ables, like meats, fish, fowl and dairy products. Although you should not buy items passed the “sell by” date, if properly stored at home, you could stretch that date, and still enjoy safely after the fact. For instance, milk, or better yet buttermilk (which is sour anyway) when continuously refrigerated will probably last another week after the “sell by” date. When you see “use by” or “freeze by,” again it’s probably a perishable item, and in this case you should consume or freeze by that date to avoid spoiling. But if the label says, “best if used by,” this gives a little wiggle room, as only the quality of the item is affected, not its safety. “Guaranteed fresh by” is the typical warning jargon for baked goods, but they are certainly safe to eat after that date, although passed their peak. Finally, “expires on” is a date that should be strictly adhered to. So if you choose to consume this item after the date — chow down at your own risk! Dating tips If products are passed the “best by” or “sell by” date, you can always use the old school testing methods of seeing, smelling, touching (and in some cases tasting). If it has a peculiar odor, evidence of fur or freezer burn, or tastes off, then dump it. When shopping, look for the latest dates on items, even if you have to dig to the back (where the fresher ones are shelved). In any event, never purchase anything that is passed the date, and get into the habit of jotting down the date of pur-

chase on all your food items from perishables to canned goods. Extending expirations By following safe food handling and storage techniques, you will extend dates, waste less food and be kind to your wallet. At the supermarket pack perishables in ice and don’t lollygag — go straight home and refrigerate (or freeze) immediately. Once items are frozen, expiration dates are reset, possibly stretching the shelf life by months. Keep refrigeration temperatures below 41 degrees Fahrenheit, and the fridge should not be left open for more than a few seconds or it’ll create an opportunity for spoilage. As a general rule of thumb, eggs can be stored for 3 weeks after purchase, poultry and seafood 1-2 days, beef, pork and lamb 3-5 days. Expiration-proof Canned goods are practically indestructible. If stored in a cool, dry place can foods are probably safe to eat after 3 years. The exception is bulging cans rife with botulism, and should be chucked regardless of the expiration date. Vinegar has an indefinite shelf life. Whole spices keep their integrity for 3-4 years, ground spices 2-3 years, and dried herbs 1-2 years. Certain wines even improve with age. But the Methuselah of foods is precious honey, which has been found preserved in Pharaohs’ tombs for thousands of years. — For more divine fall recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, San Dieguito River Park break ground on open air classroom The San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy (SDRVC) and the San Dieguito River Park (SDRP) broke ground on an open air classroom Oct. 24 that will serve as a gathering place for visitors of all ages to learn about the abundant natural resources on the San Dieguito River watershed. Dubbed “Birdwing” for its dramatic shape that mimics the curving formation of a bird in flight, the structure will be visible from one of San Diego’s most traveled freeways and become a landmark for San Diego. The structure will enable SDRVC and SDRP to expand their programs to reach more people and attract cutting-edge research and science organizations from around the world. The structure, designed by Roesling Nakamura Terada Architects and Spurlock Poirier Landscape Architects, “will fit seamlessly into the natural landscape.” To be completed by spring 2014, it will feaJacob Wilsey ture amphitheater style seating for 80 people that echoes the topography of the area’s sandstone cliffs. Third graders from Ocean Air Elementary School exchanged electronic equipment for native plant seeds that the students scattered on site, while park, city and community leaders as well as the Jim Cunningham, Andy Spurlock, Dave Roberts, Pam Slater-Price, Pam Meisner design teams, discussed the architectural significance of the design, addressed how the classroom will meet the needs of the community and how it fits into future plans of the park. The San Dieguito Lagoon, where the classroom is located, is the Artists rendering of The gateway to the SDRP, extending over 55 miles from the ocean at Birdwind outdoor classroom Del Mar to the crest at Volcan Mountain.

Seminar on â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;What you should know before selling property and paying capital gains taxâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to be held Nov. 12 at Sampson California Realty Joseph and Diane Sampson, owners of Sampson California Realty, will host a special VIP event on Tuesday, Nov. 12, for homeowners that have been considering a 1031 exchange. This educational SCR seminar will be offered from 5:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. in their Del Mar office with wine and hors dâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oeuvres. The seminar could save you thousands of dollars in taxes with a Deferred Sales Trust, which is an alternative to the 1031 exchange. Robert Binkele, CEO of EPT, will be the guest speaker for the evening. Binkele is known in the industry as the expert in 1031 & DSTâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S. Have you ever asked yourself the following questions? â&#x20AC;˘Do you own a valuable business or highly appreciated real estate? â&#x20AC;˘Are you hesitant to sell your business or property because capital gains tax will take a big bite out of your sales proceeds? â&#x20AC;˘Are you thinking about an exit strategy to protect the equity that you have accumulated? â&#x20AC;˘Would you like to sell your business or real estate and receive a fixed income based on the pre-tax proceeds? â&#x20AC;˘Would you like to sell your property or your business and defer the capital gains taxes without doing a
1031 exchange? If you answered â&#x20AC;&#x153;yesâ&#x20AC;? to the questions above, the solution may be the Deferred Sales Trustâ&#x201E;˘ (DST). Governed by Internal Revenue Code Section 453, the DST allows real estate and business owners to sell their assets in exchange for a secured installment note that allows for the deferral of capital gains taxes and provides income from the pre-tax assets inside the DST. Make plans to attend the FREE Deferred Sales Trust Seminar and learn how to use this tax code compliant strategy for deferring capital gains over your entire lifetime. The seminar will be held at Sampson California Realty, located at 12702 Via Cortina, Suite 101, Del Mar, CA 92014 on Tuesday, Nov. 12, at 5:30 p.m. Please call 858-699-1145 to reserve your seats. Seats are limited. Sampson California Reality specializes in residential real estate sales in Carmel Valley/Del Mar and the coastal corridor. Sampson California Realty has been actively listing and selling residential real estate for the last 17 years.
