New indoor concert venue under consideration for Del Mar Fairgrounds BY JOE TASH A new 1,900-seat indoor concert venue, hosting as many as 60 musical events each year, could be in the works for the Del Mar Fairgrounds under a proposal now being studied by fairgrounds officials. For the past several years, officials with the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the state-owned fairgrounds, have been searching for alternative uses for the Surfside Race Place, a 91,000-square-foot satellite wagering center on the fairgrounds property that has languished with falling attendance and revenue. One proposal, to construct a micro-brewery in the building, died after the 22nd DAA rejected a plan put forward by a subsidiary of beer giant MillerCoors, and local brewers failed to come forward with their own bids in response to outreach from the fairgrounds. Now, the focus is on a new North County concert venue, which would be complemented by a craft brew tasting room, brewing museum, event space and continued satellite wagering, said fairgrounds officials. The district is working with an architect, who has estimated the project would cost between $10 million and $15 million, said 22nd DAA board member Stephen Shewmaker at the board’s meeting on Nov. 10.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK The Solana Beach City Council on Nov. 4 formally created a Climate Action Commission, moving another step forward to developing a climate action plan for the city. To assist with the plan’s development, the advisory group will help update the city’s greenhouse gas emissions inventory, set reduction targets, implement mitigation measures and perform periodic monitoring, verification and evaluations. The nine-member commission will include a cross-section of community members representing all sectors of the city, according to the staff report. Because of the complex issues surrounding the Climate Action Plan, “constant and detailed” training will be required. The application is also “much more robust” than the standard citizens commission application, explained Dan King, assistant to the city manager. The council initially directed staff to establish the commission in May. During the Oct. 14 meeting, council members unanimously approved the commission and staff’s approach, but with a few revisions. The commission will have two council members, five residents and two non-resident members with an environmental or scientific background. It was recommended that Mayor Lesa Heebner and Councilman Peter Zahn serve on the committee. And at the request of the council, all nine members will have voting privileges. The council also modified the application to streamline See CLIMATE, page 22

Falcon Fest inspires students to heal and connect BY KAREN BILLING Falcon Fest returned to Torrey Pines High School for a second year Nov. 2-5. In the words of the students who went through it, the day was: phenomenal, powerful, real, revealing, encouraging, healing, challenging and inspiring. The day is a way to release stress and anxiety, providing a safe place for kids to air their problems. Led by Peer Assistant Listeners (PALS) program advisor Don Collins, kids get a chance to make deep connections with themselves and others and that sense of connection makes for a better school. “It’s about opening up your heart and changing the campus and making it a friendlier place,” Collins said, touching on the Falcon Fest theme of “open wings, open mind, open heart.” For several years, Torrey Pines had Challenge Days presented by facilitators from Challenge Day, a company based out of Concord. Administrators had been looking for a way to produce the event on their own and Collins got the nod last year. Collins said the “x factor” this year was counseling intern Natalie Crook, who helped get the program ready when Collins lost planning time because of the death of his father three weeks ago. A photo of his parents was on display at the event, and his mother was there to watch her son at work.
“Natalie was willing to step up without knowing anything about the program. She totally knocked it out of the park,” Collins said of Crook, who is pursuing her master’s degree in school counseling at UC San Diego. “She showed great skills with the kids, and they really responded to her honesty.” Collins said Falcon Fest would also not be possible without the support of the Torrey Pines High School Foundation, Foundation Executive Director Bobbi Karlson, board member and parent volunteer coordinator Shelley Stevenson, Principal David Jaffe and the TPHS staff, San Dieguito Union School District Superintendent Rick Schmitt and parent volunteer “flight leaders.” “It’s an incredible event and an amazing thing to see so many people come together on behalf of our kids,” Karlson said. “Another great reason to be a proud Torrey Pines Falcon.” Over the course of four days, 400 students went through the experience, discussing issues in small family groups, dispensing numerous hugs, listening respectfully and learning about each other. “This day has been important,” said one student. “It’s helped me realize that I’m not alone, that there are boys and girls going through the same thing.” One of the most meaningful activities the students participate in is “Crossing the See FEST, page 22

Fairgrounds deputy manager to leave post Woman arrested for allegedly vandalizing vehicles in Solana Beach BY JOE TASH BY KRISTINA HOUCK A 57-year-old woman was arrested Monday, Nov. 2 after allegedly vandalizing 20 vehicles in Solana Beach. Deputies arrested Robyn Carey in the Lomas Santa Fe Plaza, where multiple vehicles have been damaged since September, said Sheriff’s Sgt. Rich Eaton. Madeline Hoeg’s car was among 20 vehicles reportedly vandalized since September. The driver’s side doors and windows of her 2008 Lexus IS 250 were spraypainted while she was in HomeGoods in the Lomas Madeline Hoeg’s car was spattered with paint. Courtesy Santa Fe Plaza between photo 11:15-11:30 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 29. The total to fix the damage is $1,100, she said. “I want the local community to be aware of what is going on in this shopping center,” Hoeg said in an email before the arrest of the suspect. “I do not feel comfortable returning until I know the offender is arrested and charged. I do feel that it is the responsibility of the property management company to make the public aware of what is occurring in their shopping center.” Eaton said 19 other vehicles were similarly vandalized. Vehicles have also been vandalized west of Interstate 5 in Solana Beach Towne Centre and along Via Mil Cumbres, Eaton said. “After X amount of victims, we were able to see a pattern,” Eaton said. “Once we identified the pattern, we set up with multiple plain-clothes deputy sheriffs and we were able to witness the suspect in the act of painting a car.” A total of 17 charges were filed against Robyn Carey, including multiple counts of felony vandalism. Carey is no longer in custody. She was released on her own recognizance, with her next hearing date scheduled for Nov. 25 at the North County Regional Center in Vista. A preliminary hearing is tentatively set for Dec. 16.
The Del Mar Fairground’s longtime deputy general manager, Becky Bartling, has announced that she will be leaving her position at the end of November. Bartling joined the staff of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the state-owned fairgrounds, in January 1994. Her first position was box office manager, and she later took on greater responsibilities as deputy general manager and chief operating officer. The announcement came at a meeting of the 22nd DAA board of directors on Nov. 10. Bartling said she had initially planned to take a position with the Kaaboo music and arts festival, which debuted in September at the fairgrounds. However, she subsequently decided to take another job, the specifics of which she was not ready to disclose at the meeting. According to information on file with the state of California controller’s office, Bartling was the highest-paid fair official both
in California and at Del Mar in 2013, with total wages of $158,430. The 22nd DAA is listed as non-compliant for failing to file employee compensation information for 2014, according to the controller’s website. Bartling’s boss, fairgrounds CEO and general manager Tim Fennell, called Bartling a great friend and business partner who will be missed. “She’s going to be very successful wherever she goes,” he said. Board president Frederick Schenk said Bartling has earned the respect of people in the entertainment industry, with whom she has negotiated over the years. “They respect and admire you and appreciate what you do to bring outstanding talent to the San Diego County Fair,” he said. Bartling thanked the board and praised her colleagues, including Fennell, for being part of a “dedicated, talented team.” “This is a very special place,” she said, adding that she isn’t severing all ties with the fairgrounds. “I will be back to enjoy the fair,” she said.

Faith motivates local attorney in high-profile legal battles BY JOE TASH Charles LiMandri was a successful civil litigator when, in 2003, he decided to combine his religious values with his legal skills and file a court brief in support of keeping the phrase “Under God” in the Pledge of Allegiance. While he had long been active in community service as a member of his children’s school board and the Rotary Club, among other endeavors, “I wanted to give back in a more direct way,” said LiMandri, 60, a Rancho Santa Fe resident. That direct involvement led to more cases, and ultimately to what may be his most prominent effort — working in both the legal and political arenas to preserve a 43-foot cross atop Mount Soledad in San Diego, where it has stood since 1954. After two decades of legal wrangling and political maneuvers, cross proponents — who argue that the monument is both a war memorial and a landmark — may have won the day this summer, after the purchase of the land beneath
the cross by a private nonprofit from the federal government for $1.4 million. Over the past 12 years, LiMandri has taken on a variety of “pro bono” cases, meaning he absorbs the cost of the legal work. The common thread, according to LiMandri, is defending traditional family values and religious freedoms. A devout Catholic, he is convinced that his cherished religious liberty is in jeopardy, because of court decisions and shifting cultural mores. Roughly half of his practice, which employs four full-time and one parttime attorney, is devoted to such nonprofit work, while the rest is focused on business litigation in such areas as insurance, real estate, personal injury and maritime law. In 2012, after supporting the pro bono work on his own for nearly a decade, LiMandri launched the Freedom of Conscience Defense Fund, which can accept donations and grants to support the causes close to the attorney’s heart. “We’re focused on religious liberty, or people’s
The results have been mixed. In the Mount Soledad cross case, San Diego voters strongly supported retaining the cross, while courts over the years have ordered it to be removed. In the firefighters’ case, the first trial resulted in a hung jury, while LiMandri won the second trial and a subsequent appeal. This summer, LiMandri suffered a stinging loss when a jury decided against his client, Jews Offering New Alternatives for Healing, or JONAH, which referred clients to “conversion therapy” designed to change their sexual orientation from gay to straight. LiMandri said rulings by the judge doomed his side. For example, six expert witnesses for the defense were disqualified from testifying, and the judge also issued jury instructions disallowing references to homosexuality as a disorder. Also, the defense was harmed by testimony about controversial nudity techniques used by one of the conversion therapists. The case was exhausting and intellectually draining, said LiMandri. “I don’t fight these battles to lose.” After the case ended in late June, LiMandri said, he just wanted to return home to San Diego from New Jersey and resume his private practice. But shortly after he got back, his phone rang with a request to defend David Daleiden, president of the Center for Medical Progress (CMP), from a lawsuit stemming from a series of undercover videos filmed by Daleiden and his associates. According to LiMandri, the videos doc-

That quest has led LiMandri into controversial waters: He has defended four San Diego firefighters who defied orders to participate in a gay pride parade, and the operators of a New Jersey organization that offered referrals to men who sought therapy to change their sexual orientation.

umented discussions by officials with the nonprofit group Planned Parenthood involving the illegal sale of fetal body parts. However, Planned Parenthood and its supporters contend the videos were heavily edited in order to mislead the public, and nothing illegal or improper occurred. The videos have triggered efforts by some members of Congress to defund Planned Parenthood. A hearing on a motion by LiMandri and his legal team to dismiss the lawsuit will probably be heard in January. Supporters of LiMandri’s pro bono work applaud his dedication to cases such as JONAH and CMP. “Chuck is a brilliant litigator with a national reputation. He also is a guy who charges on his white horse where angels fear to tread. He’s fearless and principled, and smart,” Maggie Gallagher, chairperson of the Freedom of Conscience board of directors, and a Washington, D.C.-based writer, wrote in an email in response to a query from a reporter. Even those who disagree with LiMandri’s conservative positions praised his passion. “Chuck has been an effective opponent and a worthy opponent and a good litigator. I just disagree with him on the cases he chooses to prosecute or defend,” said James McElroy, a San Diego attorney who led the legal battle to remove the Mount Soledad cross from land that was once owned by the city. “Ultimately he’s a nice guy, a family guy; we just disagree very strongly on the is-

Students learn local history at Solana Beach Heritage Museum • Civic and Historical Society need volunteers to continue program for youngsters BY KRISTINA HOUCK The Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society recently brought history to life for local students. Students from Skyline and Solana Vista elementary schools learned what it was like to live in the early 1900s during the society’s Living History program. “This is a great way to teach local history,” said Rose Andrews, a retired teacher from the Solana Beach School District, who brought the very first class to the program. She’s now a dedicated volunteer. “It’s very hands-on.” Through the program, Solana Vista third-graders visit the Solana Beach Heritage Museum every year through the program. Fourth-, fifth- and sixth-grade students in Skyline’s Global Education program also visit the museum every three years. Built in 1887, the museum is the first home constructed in the community. It sat on Pepper Tree Lane, now called Del Mar Downs Road, for 101 years. In 1990, the house was moved to La Colonia Park in Solana Beach, where it is owned by the city and operated as a museum by the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society. Solana Beach historian Jim Nelson and his wife, Kathalyn, oversee the educational program, which covers the community’s history, starting from when Native Americans inhabited the region. “Kids learn by doing,” Jenell Strickland, a third-grade teacher at Solana Vista said while visiting the museum with her students last year. “Having the opportunity to come here and live it not only brings the content to life, but leaves a bigger impression. They’ll be able to retain the information better because they got to experience it firsthand instead of just reading it in a book.” This year, Strickland brought a new group of third-graders to the museum, along with student teacher Alan Ryan.

Students learn how to do a variety of household chores.
Her class was the last crop of students to participate this fall. “This is wonderful,” said Ryan, an Encinitas resident who will complete a teaching credential program at Cal State San Marcos this spring. “It’s very engaging for the kids.” During the nearly 2 1/2-hour program, Nelson and other volunteer docents dress in period costumes, inviting students to imagine they are spending a week at the 10-acre Molly Glen Ranch. Nelson plays the role of Sen. James West Stevens, who lived in the original house, and shows the students around the 1900s-style parlor. Stevens teaches the children how to perform chores such as filling kerosene lamps and sweeping the floor. The students then visit the 1900s-style kitchen, where Stevens’ wife, Susanna, shows them additional household chores that were part of routine life.
After touring both rooms and learning about 40 chores, students go outside to play traditional games such as croquet and hopscotch. They then return to the museum, where it is now the 1930s, when Edwin and Jennie Stevens lived in the house. With the construction of Lake Hodges, students learn how the impact of running water helped transform Lockwood Mesa to today’s Solana Beach. They discover how chores changed and tour a more modern 1930s kitchen and living room, which feature a sink with faucets, refrigerator, gas stove, washing machine with spin dryer, wall phones and more. Students help make homemade ice cream before the end of the field trip. “Everything is hands-on, so the kids can touch anything they want,” Nelson said. “We try to make everything come alive.” See HISTORY, page 7

Carmel Valley author’s book on graduate school result of family collaboration BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley’s Dr. Kim Muchnick has co-authored her first book, “Managing the Graduate School Experience: From Acceptance to Graduation and Beyond.” Muchnick hopes to offer guidance for people looking to move forward and grow in their education, on campus or online. “If you want to go further than a bachelor’s degree, this book will help you find what is the right path for you,” she said. Muchnick wrote the book with her father, Dr. Mark Rossman, and her sister, Dr. Nicole Benak. The book pairs her father’s 40year career as a graduate school adviser and the 10 years Muchnick and her sister have spent as graduate school educators, in traditional and online ways. “It was the most amazing family experience, to put everyone’s knowledge together in one place,” Muchnick said. “It’s really been a neat, unbelievable experience.” Published by Roman & Littlefield, the book is available in hardback, paperback and as an e-book.
The book details topics like financing graduate school, picking a brick or mortar college or online option, time management, becoming a self-directed learner, course selection, graduate committees, the comprehensive examination process, and thesis and dissertation work. Seeing the finished product in print was one of Muchnick’s top moments in life, she said, along with the birth of her children and finishing her dissertation. “It was the most exciting thing, to hold it, touch it and feel it — it was just incredible, and I couldn’t believe we created this,” Muchnick said. The family had a launch party in Denver a month ago, and the sisters toasted to their father’s dream coming true. “I see the younger generation saying, ‘I don’t see (graduate school) making a difference in the jobs I get or the money I make’ — but a lot of adult learners who have much more significant job experience still feel it’s important to continue their journey of education,” Muchnick said. “They see more opportunities opened, more ways to earn income and more ways to give back to the community than if they didn’t. “I do believe and feel very strongly that the higher the level of education you reach, the more opportunities are opened.”
Sisters Dr. Nicole Benak and Dr. Kim Muchnick have written a book with their father, “Managing the Graduate School Experience.” Courtesy photo For many years, Muchnick was known as “Dr. Kim,” serving as the guidance counselor at Solana Highlands School. She received her Ph.D. during her five years at Solana Highands and decided that she wanted to be known as Dr. Muchnick, leaving to teach master’s and undergraduate psychology online through different universities. After her younger sister received her Ph.D. in English, their father told them that his ultimate vision was for them to write a book together. The sisters were excited by the idea. Both Rossman and Benak live in Denver. The pair come to visit Muchnick four times a year and she comes to them twice a year, so they were able to do some planning sessions in person. But the bulk of the work was done communicating via e-mail and phone. Her father, who has published seven books, insisted on having formal meetings once a week.
HISTORY
continued from page 6
After crafting the curriculum, the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society launched the Living History program in 2005. At one time, the program served every third-grade class in the Solana Beach School District. The program is entirely run by volunteers. The society also covers the cost of the school buses with a grant from an educational foundation. This year, six Solana Vista classes and two Skyline classes participated in the program. There are 15 volunteers, with four soon to retire. Therefore, the program is in jeopardy of continuing next fall. “There’s a lot of learning going on,” said Solana Beach resident Phyllis Schwartzlose. She has volunteered with the program for a decade. “I’d hate to see this disappear.” The society is recruiting volunteers for the program. Anyone interested in supporting the program is asked to contact Nelson at kathalynandjim@gmail.com. “We very much need volunteers,” Nelson said. “I have been looking for two years to try to get some replacements.” The Solana Beach Heritage Museum is open from 1-4 p.m. every first and third Saturday. Groups can also make appointments to tour the museum by calling the Nelsons at 858-259-7657. Visit solanabeachcivicandhistoricalsociety.org.

Santa Fe Christian volleyball team features sister act on defense BY KAREN BILLING A year apart and almost the same height, and both defensive-minded volleyball players for Santa Fe Christian, Taryn and Camryn Tastad have often been mistaken for twins. They’ve been called Caren and Tamryn and all matter of names in between, but the close, complementary sister duo takes the mix-ups as flattery, as they each couldn’t be prouder of the other. The pair of liberos had never played on the same team before last year, when Camryn was the only freshman to make the varsity squad. Since they both played the same position, it definitely made for a challenging experience. “I was always loving and supporting her, but also, I was working against her,” said Taryn, a 17-year-old senior. “Halfway through the season, we came to support each other no matter what and became each other’s No. Santa Fe Christian volleyball team sisters and 1 fan. It was a unique situa- teammates Taryn and Camryn Tastad. Courtesy photo tion, and it’s helped our relationship grow.” Both girls have played for the WAVE Volleyball Club for seven years under the direction of Brennan Dean, also the head coach at Torrey Pines High School. With WAVE, they have competed in the Junior National Championships in Dallas, Co-
CONVENTIONAL, JUMBO, FHA & VA MORTGAGE OPTIONS
lumbus, Minneapolis, New Orleans, and have won silver medals in the Nationals. They have won Southern California Volleyball Association (SCVA) Qualifiers and have traveled to many qualifiers in Reno, Spokane, Minneapolis, Dallas and more. “Taryn and Camryn have been longtime WAVE athletes and have been so much fun to watch grow over the years. They are constantly working hard and inspiring their teammates to do the same with their high energy and leadership on the court,” said Dean. “It’s great to have a set of siblings in our club that motivate each other to be the best they can be and compete at the highest level all the time. They are so much fun to coach, and it is a pleasure having them as part of our program.” Taryn has been recognized as a UT Scholar Athlete for the past three years, maintaining a 4.5 GPA while holding a class schedule of five AP classes this year. She is the president of Santa Fe Christian Business Leaders Club and the marketing manager for a technology start- up company. Taryn was a two-sport athlete her freshman and sophomore year, playing volleyball and soccer. But she decided to focus solely on volleyball. “I feel volleyball is more a team sport; you can’t win a volleyball game with just one good player on the team,” Taryn said. She has played on the varsity team for three years and is this season’s team captain, leading the team in digs. Taryn is still weighing her options for college, but she knows for sure she would like to continue playing volleyball at the next level.
Camryn, a 16-year-old sophomore, has also been recognized as a UT Scholar and maintains a high GPA. Her WAVE volleyball team took first place in the SCVA in 2015 and she was recognized as the High School Fall Classic All Tournament player two years in a row in 2014 and 2015. Her dream is to play college volleyball in the Pac-12. This year the sister act roams the back row together, digging and passing and making sure nothing hits the floor. “I think she’s the most hardworking teammate I’ve ever had,” said Camryn of her sister. “There’s not a play that she doesn’t go all-out, and I admire that about her.” Before every game, they do a sisterly chest bump and are constantly cheering for each other on the court. If she struggles, “The only person I hear is Camryn on the sidelines. I hear her words of encouragement and get pumped right back up,” Taryn said. Playoffs begin next week in the Coastal League and the duo has high hopes for the Eagles going far. They will play for WAVE when the season concludes and are soaking up these last few games on the court together. “Camryn is the most driven and competitive player I’ve played with. She has a love for the game and it shows in how dedicated she is to the sport — it’s overwhelming,” Taryn said of her sister. “Playing together is an experience — not something many sisters get to have — and I’ll never forget it.”

Solana Beach-based robotics team — Code Crunchers — advances to Dec. 6 finals The Solana Beach-based robotics team, the Code Crunchers, competed recently at the San Dieguito Academy qualifying tournament for FIRST Lego League (FLL). With more than 25,000 teams in 80-plus countries, FLL introduces young people (ages 9-14) to the fun and excitement of science and technology. The Code Crunchers tackled this year’s FLL challenge — Trash Trek — by researching what happens to the materials people use when moving. To avoid having these materials sent to landfills or to other countries for recycling, the team designed “Pack Again,� an app that helps connect people who need moving materials with those who are trying to get rid of them. The seventh-grade friends worked together and used their different strengths. Their efforts earned them one of two “Champion’s Awards� and first place in robot performance at the tournament, based on compiled scores from all four judged areas (project, robot design, core values and robot performance). The Code Crunchers qualified to advance to the Southern California FLL Championships at Legoland on Dec. 6. Visit codecrunchers.org.

Annmarie D’Ercole joins Flower Hill lineup Annmarie D’Ercole opened a new jewelry store in Flower Hill Promenade recently. D’Ercole is known for her custom pieces in 14-karat white, yellow and rose gold, with precious and semiprecious gemstones from all over the world, all hand-made in her Los Angeles studio. In addition to jewelry, the shop features D’Ercole’s own curated selection of clothing. Born in New York and raised in the Del Mar area, D’Ercole began designing jewelry more than 20 years ago. By her late teens, she was wire-wrapping custom jewelry for friends, not knowing at the time that she was taking the first steps into the field that would become her life’s passion. Demand for her pieces quickly grew from a few designs worn by close friends, to a score of private clients, which led to a presence within retail stores and eventually a store of her own first in Solana Beach and then Del Mar.

The students and faculty at Pacific Trails Middle School celebrated their first Red Ribbon Week with an exciting and healthy array of activities. Themed activities included Wear Red Day, a door decorating competition, Crazy Sock Day, Spirit Day, and the creation of a one-of-a-kind pledge wall with red handprints decorated and signed by the students. Apples and Red Vines were handed out to the students during the week, and PTMS students go red to support Red Ribbon Week. everyone learned important lessons about being healthy and avoiding the dangers of drug/alcohol use and risky online behavior. The students watched a teen-oriented video about obtaining and maintaining a “natural high” through productive activities and healthy behaviors. Thanks to the school’s PTSA, Jon Moffat was brought in as a guest speaker and talked to the students about cyber-safety. On Thursday, the school held its first Spirit Day, where the focus was on physical wellness. Students and faculty dressed as their favorite superheroes and took part in the Step It Up Obstacle Course on the field, where numerous activities ranged from a huge maze to a bootcamp bounce house to cash and other fun prizes. Rounding out the week, the school celebrated a healthy Halloween and with costumes and music during lunch.

La Jolla Country Day women’s varsity tennis team heads to state regionals A year ago, the women’s tennis team at La Jolla Country Day enjoyed one of the best seasons in school history — finishing No. 2 in San Diego County and in the top 8 in Southern California. And then they graduated eight seniors, six of them who led the varsity team. As the 2015 season began, some people believed that this would simply be a year of rebuilding the team, that they lacked experience and were not “seasoned” players. “I don’t believe in rebuilding years,” says seventh-year head coach and Country Day grad Joslynn Burkett. “Every year we build, and build upon the last. I couldn’t have asked for a better foundation to work from than the one created by last years team.” So, with powerhouse singles player Paulina Ferrari and senior softball player turned doubles specialist Sophie Ausmus, the building began. Four freshmen were added to the lineup along with seven junior varsity players from last year’s squad. The team goals were the same as last year: to win the Coastal League for the eighth consecutive season, be placed within the elite open division for CIF, and receive a bid into the State Regionals. La Jolla Country Day would get there slowly, one day at a time, peaking at just the right moment — at least that was Coach Burkett’s plan. “We had to be patient. Enjoy the process. Learn to maximize our strengths and minimize our weakness. And then push hard at just the right moment.” The first half of the season was learning to work together. Country Day’s record was 2-4 with one of losses to league rival, The Bishop’s School, by a score of 5-13, immediately putting their Coastal League title in jeopardy. But a junior transfer student from this same adversary, Jennifer Richards, would become eligible for competition in due time. With Ferrari, they would pack a tough one-two punch at the top of the lineup. The Country Day Torreys entered the second half of the season with a ranking in the middle of Division I. The singles were set. It was time to start solidifying the doubles teams. With doubles teams and singles players beginning to take shape, it was time to teach them how to win. They took the rest of the season by storm, finishing on an eight match-winning streak. This included revenge on their adversary, Bishops’, and ultimately splitting the Coastal League Championship. With one goal down, the Torreys found themselves again in the Open Division for CIF thanks for their dominant season finish. But, only three of the 14 players heading into the Championships had ever played on the big stage before: Ferrari, Richards, and Ausmus.
Front row, L-R: Sophie Ausmus (Del Mar), Jennifer Richards (Carmel Valley), Raquel Ramirez, Paulina Ferrari. Second row: Assistant Coach Matyas Hilgert, Assistant Coach Ruelas, Melanie Herbert, Jacqueline Gladden (Rancho Santa Fe), Kayla Magid (Carmel Valley), Sheila Akavan (Rancho Santa Fe), Alyssa Helfand (Carmel Valley), Mariana Casillas, Alexandra Goutnova, Veronica Chandler, Coach Joslynn Burkett, Paulina Achar, Catherine Murray (Del Mar). Photo by Yiqing “Vivian” Zhang. Entering the CIF playoffs, the team fought to a third-place finish. Taking down a tough Canyon Crest team in the first round, it was all about purpose from there on out. Loud, supportive, and with plenty of high fives, the team proved to be No. 3 in all of San Diego, taking down rival Bishop’s for a second time, 11-7. Next up, the team will enter CIF Regional as a top 16 team in all of Southern California.

New players are welcome to come out and get instruction from leading coaches, including Matt Hawkins, former captain and coach of the USA 7s. Activities will include Mustangs U18 competing in the 2015 Pacific Cup fundamental skills such as Photo courtesy Denise Cavanagh passing, evasive running and tackling drills. Throughout the day, touch rugby will be played for each age group with the U8s starting at 10 a.m. A demonstration touch game will be held at 12:30 p.m. with the U18s taking on their coaches. The Mustangs have a national reputation, with the U18s finishing third in the Pacific Cup last year. The Pacific Cup had the best teams from California, Hawaii and Arizona including one of the top U18 teams in the country from Danville Oaks. Success for the U18 team has led to college opportunities for a number of Mustangs alumni, with players from the past few years going to college rugby programs at West Point, University of California and Saint Mary’s, to name a few. All Mustang coaches are nationally trained and certified, and pass stringent safety and background checks. Many coaches have played internationally, and a handful represented their country in past World Cups. Matt Hawkins, former coach and captain of the USA 7’s national team, has both his sons playing with the U8 Mustangs. “I found the Mustangs Club very well run, and the coaching provides a fun experience where kids learn all the basic rugby skills,” said Hawkins. The recent Rugby World Cup final played in London was broadcast live on NBC and has bought significant exposure to the game. Torrey Pines High School and Cathedral Catholic, and many other local high schools now play rugby as a varsity sport. Don’t miss the opportunity to expose your young athletes to this sport.

Torrey Pines returns surfboard to LCC BY WALTER BAYS The golden surfboard trophy went back to La Costa Canyon last week, as the Mavericks defeated the Falcons 13-3 in a game where both teams had as much trouble hanging onto the football as a surfer hanging onto a surfboard with no strap. In the first half the Falcons outpaced the Mavericks with 231 yards of offense to 200 yards, but had two turnovers. The game opened with Johhny Hastings under center, who would share quarterback duties with Ben Spitters all game, and the Falcons drove from their 13 to the Maverick 12 on the running of See TORREY, page 18

Letters to the editor/Opinion Noise pollution on Del Mar streets a serious issue
Week in Sports
I concur with Richard Levak’s letter last Friday in the Del Mar Times about the serious issue of noise pollution on all of Camino del Mar (CDM) and beach colony streets, mainly caused by altered motorcycle exhausts, and other vehicles with modified exhaust systems. Add to that, the similar uncaring drivers who force their pounding loud music (noise) on other nearby vehicles and homes. I’ve lived here for many years and this street noise problem grows worse each year partially due to the understandable fun and economy of motorcycles. The motorcycle left unmodified is a relatively quiet and great form of transportation, albeit a bit more dangerous for the driver in an accident. The issue is with the modified exhaust resulting in the ingratiating noise that rattles the senses. My home in the beach colony is close to CDM and Coast Blvd, and we continually suffer the noise from those drivers of modified motorcycles and cars that seem to enjoy disrupting the residents with their inconsiderate attitudes. Their noise is abruptly stressful and aggravating, especially during the peak summer season with the high volume of traffic and visitors, negatively affecting residents of homes and businesses on a daily basis. As Richard Levak Ph.D. suggested, Del Mar’s noise ordinance should be expanded to include vehicle noise pollution with signs, enforcement and ticketing by our Del Mar Ranger or Sheriff. With strong enforcement, I believe the word will spread quickly with positive results for the citizens of Del Mar. Our Ranger equipped with a noise meter and ticketing power at key locations could do wonders immediately. As I indicated in a recent email to Dr. Levak, I will be happy to participate in his effort to eliminate this offensive street noise in our city. And thank you for your letter in the Del Mar Times, as I’m sure there are other residents who will be motivated by your letter to help solve this problem. R Paul Allen, Del Mar
BY GIDEON RUBIN Football: • The little engine that could punched way above its weight class and lived to tell about it. Perennial small-school power Santa Fe Christian, which is averaging more than 41 points per game, had to play small-ball against Olympian, a Division I school, but the redhot Eagles managed to get the job done, and they made some history along the way. The Eagles defeated Olympian 9-3 in a nonleague game on Nov. 6 for their first win against a Division I team in school history. SFC’s student enrollment of barely over 400 is dwarfed by Olympian’s student population of about 1,900. Kevin Loney rushed for the game’s only touchdown in the second quarter to lead the Eagles.

CV, you have been duped. I was wondering why What Price Main Street didn’t have any significant updates on their website about the status of the One Paseo project after the city council overturned their vote approving One Paseo in May. And I wasn’t sure what was going on when I went to the last CV Planning Board in October and the Board didn’t seem to have any problem with Kilroy’s presentation about One Paseo. And then a friend pointed it out to me ... Was it possible that Donahue Schriber (owner of Del Mar Highlands) and Kilroy decided behind closed doors that it could be a win-win for both of them if Kilroy reduced retail but kept the size of the condo development at 600-plus units? That would mean that DS would have less retail competition but still have lots of new customers if Kilroy kept the 600-plus condos. Unfortunately, the project is still 2.5 times what it was zoned for (1.2 million square feet instead of 500,000 square feet), we still have high-density housing with no public transportation and no road widening or other significant traffic changes until 2030 at the earliest. Traffic hasn’t been reduced, even though Kilroy alleges average daily trips (ADTs) will be reduced by 50 percent. Smoke and mirrors. Kilroy even claims that with their mitigation measures, traffic will be better than it is now, even though there are 14,000 more cars on the road. Anyone with common sense knows that increasing the number of cars will result in increased traffic delays. Carmel Valley — the fight’s not over yet. We won a battle but we haven’t won the war. Maybe it’s not too late to do something. If so, let’s try again to get this project down to a reasonable size. Please continue to contact your council person and What Price Main Street. I’m up for the fight, how about you? Andrea Mintz, Carmel Valley resident 20-plus years

Luke Duerr and Jacob Montes where a fumble gave LCC the ball. The defense held, the Mavericks got a good punt bounce, and Torrey Pines was right back at their 12. For the first time, the Falcons showed a different look from their normal Wing T, lining up in the shotgun. Montes took a direct snap, shot through the hole and picked up 30 yards. But the Falcons second drive also ended in a turnover with an interception on the LCC 39. Maverick quarterback Tanner Clark completed 2 of 2 passes and scored on a keeper to put LCC ahead 7-0. LCC drove to the Falcon 8 before a tackle in the backfield by Jared Rosen forced them to settle for a field goal, 10-0. Torrey Pines came right back moving from their 20 to the Maverick 44 where it was fourth and 4. Luc D’Arcy took the snap, but instead of punting, he threw to Thomas Stearn for a first down at the 30. Matthew Feeler picked up 12 more, but the drive stalled on the 8, fourth and less than 1, and the LCC defense held to take over on downs. The Mavericks’ next play was a long pass carried into the end zone, but fumbled out of the end zone so the Falcons took over again at their 20. The teams traded punts, with LCC on the short end of the trade, and Torrey Pines started at midfield in the final minute of the half. Spitters passed to No. 14 and to Tristen Alesi to the 7, and as time ran out the Falcons finally got on the board with a field goal. LCC 10-3. The Mavericks opened the second half driving from their 8 to the Falcon 1 where Beau Morgans recovered a fumble for the Falcons. From there, it was a defensive struggle until LCC drove to the Falcon 29 and made a 46-yard field goal to go up 13-3. In the fourth quarter the Falcons alternated quarterbacks, with Feeler and Duerr running big gains, but stalled at the Maverick 38. D’Arcy angled his punt to go out of bounds on the 4. But LCC ground out first downs as the clock ticked away to victory. Torrey Pines ends the season with a 3-7 record, including many tough non-conference opponents, but has a 2-2 record in the Palomar league and so is seeded in the playoffs Nov. 13 at Torrey Pines.

Del Mar Lifeguards to visit Australia through international program Louisa Nickerson, 18, and Hailey Horan, 18, of the Del Mar Lifeguards have been selected as the first international exchange students to take part in the recently established USA/ Australia Surf Lifesaving Exchange program. The program will run from Dec. 18-Jan. 5 in the cities of Coolum, Maroochydore and Brisbane, where the girls will learn the Australian surf lifesaving system and culture. The USA/Australia Surf Lifesaving Exchange was founded this year by Vince Askey of the Del Mar BodySurfing Club. The program will expand to other international associations in 2016. Nickerson and Horan became Del Mar Lifeguards this summer after working their way up through the Del Mar Junior Guards since childhood. They are also members of the Del Mar BodySurfing Club (www.delmarbodysurfing.club) and competed in the World Bodysurfing Championships in August at the Oceanside Pier. Nickerson is a senior at Torrey Pines High School with a 4.2 G.P.A. She is captain of the Torrey Pines girls cross country and track teams. Nickerson plans to continue as a competitive runner next year in college while pursuing a degree in education. In addition, she is president of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes Club and the Best Buddies Club for friendships between disabled students and non-disabled students. Horan is a freshman at San Diego State University after graduating from Westview High School with honors in June. She was captain of the Westview Women’s Surf Team and president of the Surf Club. She also played on the Westview girls’ lacrosse and field hockey teams. At SDSU, she is a member of the women’s rowing team. Horan and Nickerson will pay their own airfare to visit Australia, but will be hosted by at least two surf lifesaving clubs in Queensland during their visit. The hosting clubs in Queensland will be the Coolum Surf Lifesaving Club (www.coolumsurfclub.com.au) and the Maroochydore Surf Lifesaving Club (www.maroochysurfclub.com.au). The two American girls will stay in the homes of surf club members. Some of the lifesaving activities planned for Horan and Nickerson are participating in a beach patrol, introduction to the Nipper program, presentations and discussions of the Australian Surf Lifesaving system, participation in club activities, body surfing, and use of club equipment.

Line.” The facilitator reads aloud a situation, and if it applies to a student, he or she crosses the line. Students crossed over when they had been judged for their bodies, whether because they were considered too big or too small. Many crossed for being teased about their clothes, or for wearing glasses or having braces. When students — and parents — crossed for being hurt or judged because of the color of their skin, those on the other side sent messages of love and support through hand signals. Nearly everyone crossed when asked whether they had ever felt alone or lonely, and more than half the group crossed when asked whether they had dealt with divorce. One parent leader, who was divorced, said her family group talked a lot about their struggles with divorce. She said no parents wanted their children to end up on the other side of that line. Four students bravely crossed when the facilitator asked whether anyone had ever been homeless. “Today made me realize that I wasn’t the only one who experiences this situation; it opened my eyes that there are people who will stand by you,” said one of the students who has been homeless. “I want to thank Mr. Collins for showing me that.” Many grew very emotional when crossing to show they had dealt with substance abuse, mental illness or loss of a close family

That could come within the next 90 to 120 days, fairgrounds CEO and general manager Tim Fennell told the board. He said that theoretically, if the plans pencil out and the board approves them, construction on the concert venue could begin as early as late summer or early fall of 2016. “It’s got to make good business sense and complement what we do, which I believe it would,” Fennell said after the meeting. The district would look at a number of different ways to finance the project, which could include seeking outside investors, tap-

sues of the day.” For example, although LiMandri said thousands of people have changed their sexual orientation with the assistance of conversion therapy, groups such as the American Psychological Association and the World Health Organization have come out against the practice, a viewpoint shared by McElroy. “Gay people are not sick, they’re not ill, they don’t need to be cured,” said McElroy, who sits on the board of the Southern Poverty Law Center, which brought the civil lawsuit against JONAH, alleging that conversion therapy amounts to consumer fraud.
ping district reserves or obtaining a bank loan, Fennell said. Right now, he said, the source of financing is “to be determined.” The concert venue would tie in well with existing uses at the fairgrounds, such as the annual county fair and horse racing meets, which both include concert performances, said Fennell. A concert venue would also benefit the city of Del Mar, where the fairgrounds is located, by generating tax revenue, he said. Calls placed to Del Mar Mayor Al Corti seeking comment on the proposal were not returned by press time. The closest competition geographically to the proposed new concert venue is probably the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, which hosts musical events most nights of the week, featuring local and national acts. The venue has a capacity for about 600 attendees, according to published reports.

The 61-year-old victim was returning from a hospital where her mother-in- law had just died when the accident happened about 6:30 p.m. last July 22 near Camino del Sur. A friend of the defendant, Orlando Castro, testified that they took the Uber ridehailing service to the Padres game from his home in Pacific Beach in anticipation of drinking to celebrate Rodriguez’s 30th birthday. Castro said he and Rodriguez had three or four beers at the game, then had a beer and a shot of tequila at a nearby bar after the game as they waited for a return Uber trip back to Castro’s home. “We were both intoxicated,” Castro testified. Castro said that after Uber dropped them off in Pacific Beach, he got some pizza, came home and passed out on the couch. The witness said Rodriguez wasn’t there when he woke up a few hours later, noting that the last time he saw Rodriguez, the defendant was in no shape to drive. District Attorney Investigator Michael Edwards testified that according to the event data recorder on the defendant’s Fiat 500, Rodriguez was traveling eastbound at 51-52

mph — faster than the victim’s Chevrolet Nova — when it veered left into oncoming traffic and smashed into her vehicle near the bicycle lane. Mayer-Sheaf died at the scene. Rodriguez’s blood-alcohol level was measured at .16 percent two hours after the crash. That would have meant his BAC was between .18 and .20 percent at the time of the crash, said Deputy District Attorney Lauren Ogata. The defendant would have consumed nine to 10 drinks to get to that level of intoxication, the prosecutor said. Rodriguez drank that day despite knowing he was going to drive, Ogata alleged. Ogata said that after the crash, Rodriguez blamed the victim, saying she came into his lane of traffic. Superior Court Judge David Rubin ruled that enough evidence was presented at the preliminary hearing for Rodriguez to stand trial Feb. 2. The judge allowed the defendant to remain free on $100,000 bail so long as he refrains from drinking and continues to wear an alcohol-monitoring device. A readiness conference was set for Dec. 22.

Former San Diego city attorney Mike Aguirre, who battled LiMandri in court on the firefighter case, and also once appointed him to represent the city in the Mount Soledad cross case, said, “We’ve had our differences, but I’ve always respected him … He lives his values. And these days, so few people do that.” LiMandri said the work consumes a lot of his time and energy, and has even hurt his legal practice. “I’ve lost clients over the work I do; they’re afraid of being associated with me.” He would like to spend more time with his family. He and his wife, Barbara, who was working as a paralegal
when they met, have five children. He’d also like to exercise more, and read books for pleasure, such as the historical novels he enjoys. But he feels compelled to follow the example of one of his personal heroes, Sir Thomas More, an English lawyer who defied King Henry VIII based on his religious convictions, and was beheaded for his trouble. More was elevated to sainthood in 1935 by Pope Pius XI. “We’re trying to preserve a Judeo-Christian culture which permeates society,” LiMandri said. “There’s no financial incentive. But there’s a big incentive to better society for future generations.”

The famous 1972 image of the bombing of Tang Bang, courtesy The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe.
From war to peace: Subject of famous photo shares story at The Bridges BY DIANE Y. WELCH A photograph captures a defining moment in 1972 during the height of the Vietnam War. A little girl is screaming in pain, trying to outrun the napalm that bombed her village of Tang Bang and that burned her body. The image is forever seared into a global consciousness. Today that child is 52 and is a UNESCO Goodwill Ambassador for Peace. Phan Thi Kim Phuc is considered an international treasure for the work that she now undertakes to help other victims of war-torn countries. The picture, awarded a Pulitzer Prize for AP photographer Nick Ut,
illustrated the horrors of war thrust upon an innocent 9-year-old child. Some say the power of that image helped end the war. Phuc shared her subsequent story of “Love, Hope and Forgiveness” with a rapt audience as part of “The Insiders’ Series” at The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe on Nov 3. Invited by residents Jennifer and J.R. Meyers, Phuc’s presentation brought tears and reverent silence as she described the haunting day that defined her life and how since then she has suffered unimaginable pain. Phuc’s life was saved by Ut that fateful day in June, 43 years ago, when he covered

The Holiday Boutique is back, which means shoppers can look locally for gift-giving ideas. Sponsored by the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society, the 62nd annual event is set for Nov. 14 at La Colonia Community Center in Solana Beach. From cute baby clothes to cozy quilts, the Holiday Boutique will feature mostly handcrafted items, including holiday decorations, clothing, accessories, gifts, and other arts and crafts. Two historical books on the city by Solana Beach historian Jim Nelson, as well as a book on North County beaches by Dr. Wolf Berger, will also be for sale. “It’s a fun thing for the community,” said Solana Beach resident Pam Dalton, who serves as event committee co-chair with Phyllis Schwartzlose. “You find unique gifts and see people you haven’t seen in a while.” The Holiday Boutique helps the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society raise funds for various community projects. The Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society evolved from the Solana Beach Women’s Civic Club, which was formed in 1953. The City Council asked the club in 1989 to become custodians of the city’s history. The club’s Certificate of Incorporation was then modified to create the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society, and
membership became open to all adults in the community. Today the society focuses on civic and cultural advancement, education and philanthropy. Some of the projects the society has sponsored over the years are the renovation of Fletcher Cove Community Center, the acquisition of the Gateway property and the continued beautification of the city through plantings and

To host the Holiday Boutique, a 26-member craft group meets monthly to create items for the annual fundraiser. “There’s some very talented people,” said Dalton, who enjoys making items for children, including doll clothes. Her son from Oklahoma also donates handcrafted wooden bowls to the boutique. “We love getting together once a SEE BOUTIQUE, B18

Swell Coffee team reawakens longtime Flower Hill coffee shop space BY KAREN BILLING When the Swell Coffee team gets together to drink coffee, it is quite the experience. Owner John Vallas and staff slurp (the accepted term) from their cups, trying to capture all of the different flavor notes on their taste buds. They take note of the aroma and always make sure to taste blends at different cooling points as a cup could taste like chocolate and caramel when hot — but like fig and molasses when it cools a bit. Last week, their refined coffee palates were able to pick up notes of lemon, grapefruit and white pepper in a newly acquired bean from Kenya. “Needless to say, everyone’s always really wired at Swell,” said Vanessa Corrales, the general manager of Swell Coffee in Mission Beach and its new location in Flower Hill Promenade. Swell slid into the former Pannikin Coffee spot on Aug. 1, taking over Café Cantata after a brief run. Flower Hill sought out Swell to fill the longtime coffeehouse space, as over the past eight months, Swell has really started to flow, launching its own coffee roasting operation. Swell Coffee has been around since 2011, when Vallas bought Café Mono in Mission Beach. Although he has been drinking coffee since he was 12 years old, the coffee business world was very new to Vallas when he purchased Mono — he had been in the Navy for 10 years, working on submarines, doing things like

Though he was new to the business, he had developed a passion for coffee while working 12-hour shifts during his six months of deployments on the subs. He would chug coffee to stay awake for late-night shifts that started at 11 p.m. After he got out of the Navy, he wasn’t sure what to do next — but he recalled his youth in Raleigh, N.C., where he’d always enjoyed spending time in the “super warm environment” of coffee shops. He said he had his “a-ha moment” when he came across a paper from a personal development class where he’d listed his passions as his daughter, good food, good coffee, surfing and being by the beach.
“I thought, ‘Forget everything else, just find this and I will be happy.’ I looked around to find something in alignment with my passions, and I found the café. There were so many red flags, but I couldn’t let it go.” Vallas said after he bought Mono in November 2011, he promptly ran out of money by February 2012. But spring break came, with tourists and beachgoers, and he was OK. Then he made it to summer. Swell was able to get its feet planted and has grown steadily from there, including roasting all of its own coffee. Swell’s roasting facility is in Point Loma, and the shop has partnered with the Patio Restaurant Group to supply coffee to all of their eateries. Flower Hill approached Swell about taking over the Café Cantata space, which struggled after Pannikin’s closure
in 2014. “This was not planned. This was an opportunity that presented itself, and I couldn’t say no,” Vallas said. “This is a very special place.” Because of Swell’s relationship with the restaurant group, he said, the shop is able to use a diverse variety of resources to make a location like Flower Hill’s successful. “There is an energy here. This is a community place, and the café is part of the fabric of this place,” Vallas said. He said the clientele is all locals, very different from the scene at Mission Beach. Mondo Rodriguez, Swell sales and logistics manager, said the staff sees those loyal local customers every day, coming in Monday through Friday like clockwork, staying six to eight hours. The customers have become very endearing to them, he said. Rodriguez was a welder before fortuitously meeting Vallas at the then-Café Mono while he was on a weeklong vacation from Portland. He and his wife had been ready to make a change and moved to San Diego a year later. Rodriguez got in touch with Vallas, wanting to do something “more down-to-earth, more personal.” “The passion that I saw in John for this company was enough for me to make that change and pursue this as a career,” Rodriguez said. People seem to be drawn to Vallas’ passion. General Manager Corrales started her career in the hotel industry and was part of the
opening team for the Grand Del Mar (now the Fairmont Grand Del Mar). She worked for Stone Brewing and was always more a part of the craft beer world before finding Swell. “It was the right fit and just clicked, and it felt like home. Everybody here is family; we all work so well together,” Corrales said. What makes Swell special is that the staff strives to find unique coffees from all over the world. While in places like Peru, Colombia and Costa Rica, Vallas and his employees are meeting and connecting with specialty coffee farmers, learning the attributes of their products and how they are grown. By using their beans, they are supporting the farm families and their communities. Upon entering Swell, guests first choose their coffee, which rotates frequently. Recent options were Finca El Soccorro from Guatemala and Beach Goth, Swell’s blend of Mexican and African coffee with notes of bitter chocolate and black grape. Beach Goth recently took silver at the North American Golden Bean Coffee Competition in Portland. Customers then choose how they would like the coffee prepared, brewed by V60 pour-over coffee maker, French press or Chemex, a manual glass coffee maker. Espresso beverages like lattes, cappuccinos and macchiatos are available, and the menu will always include “A Barista’s Whim,” SEE SWELL, B19

‘How Food Affects Mood’ to be topic Nov. 18 at DMCC
Feel grumpy one morning, happy as a lark the next? What you eat and drink, as well as
how much and how often, can have a significant effect on those differing moods — as well as on your energy level, mental health and ability to cope with stress. The nutritional connection with mood will be detailed by Vicky A. Newman, MS, RDN, consulting dietitian/nutritionist, during a talk, “Mood and Food,” sponsored by Del Mar Community Connections at 1:30 p.m. Nov. 18 at the Del Mar Library. Newman noted that mood disorders are common in older adults, with 1 in 5 suffering depression. “We will discuss how a common genetic defect that affects about one in every 10 people, coupled with a diet low in certain B vitamins, can contribute to mental illness, including depression,” she said. For reservations, call 858-792-7565.

Going Solar: What a Possible End to Net Metering Means for You Trying to decide the best time to go solar? The short answer: Right now. Since its inception, the biggest incentive for going solar was the state-mandated arrangement called Net Energy Metering, through which utility companies such as San Diego Gas & Electric buy power
produced od ed from f solar la customers, allowing ll customers to shrink or eliminate their electric bills altogether. But now, Net Metering rebates may be a thing of the past. Why? In part because of a recent bill signed by Governor Brown, which requires state regulators to set new rules either once rooftop solar customers’ power hits 5% of the region’s peak demand or by July 2017. San Diego is projected to be the first to reach that cap, and well before the July 2017 mark—some estimates give as early as December 2015. There is a probable new rebate model in the works, but it’s highly unlikely to be as generous as the current model, in which SDG&E buys the power surplus at the same rate it charges its highest usage

tier customers—42 kilowatt h hour. —42 cents a kilo Proposals for a new rebate program are currently being discussed by the state Public Utilities Commission as well as utility companies and other groups. The good news is that customers who already have their solar panels installed and running should have their current program grandfathered in. Whether you are considering purchasing or leasing your solar panels, there’s no time to hesitate. Time is of the essence. To beat the clock on a net metering program expiration, you need more than just a signed contract for your system; your solar panels must be not only installed prior to the deadline but must be operating. Some contractors may take an average
days fr from the of 120 d he time a contract is signed to the time the system is installed. Demand is currently high (more solar energy is now installed in San Diego each week than in the entirety of 2008), so installation projections may vary. Net metering helps make going solar affordable. But it is also important to remember that solar power is sustainable power that you can rely on. One of the things that going solar has taught us is how we can best integrate energy consumption with environmental responsibility. Across the nation, and especially here in San Diego, we’ve proven the many successes of solar. To discuss more about the net metering program and to install before the deadlines, contact us at 858-450-9700 or visit our website at 92130.stisolarenergy. com.

What if you were a young American mother and one day a couple of Tibetan monks came to your door, told you your 3-year-old son was the reincarnation of a revered Buddhist lama, and asked you to let them take him to their monastery in India, so he could be raised as the spiritual teacher they knew him to be? That’s the central question of “The Oldest Boy,” a luminous new production coming Thursday, Nov. 12, to San Diego Repertory Theater. Written by multi-award-winner Sarah Ruhl, it’s a far cry from the playwright’s “In the Next Room, or The Vibrator Play,” staged by the Rep in 2011, though it does sound a lot like “Little Buddha,” a 1993 film by Bernardo Bertolucci, in which a Seattle couple is visited by Tibetans who think their son may be a reincarnated lama. But “The Oldest Boy” has a style and approach all its own. For one thing, the 3-year-old boy is played by a puppet, worked by a pair of dancing puppeteers and voiced by a Tibetan actor/ singer/dancer/musician who is, in fact, the Oldest Boy. Tsering Dorjee Bawa, born in Tibet, raised in India, and based in the Bay Area, was an integral part of the New York production at Lincoln Center Theater last year, appearing onstage, and acting as a cultural consultant who made sure all the Tibetan details were right. Fresh from playing the Oldest Boy at the Marin Theatre Company in Mill Valley, he is reprising the role here, along with his continuing role as cultural consultant. Ruhl, who, besides being a MacArthur Genius Grant recipient, Tony nominee, and this year’s most-produced female playwright in the country, is also the mother of three children, has said that the play was inspired by conversations with a longtime babysitter, originally from Tibet. After recounting her

They were now living in India, where the boy was in a monastery, being raised as a Buddhist priest. The story made Ruhl consider what it meant to be a mother wanting the best for her child, but torn between personal attachment and spiritual commitment. And so “The Oldest Boy” was born. Director Sam Woodhouse said Ruhl is one of his favorite writers. “She’s profound, whimsical, intimate and expansive,” he said. “And ‘The Oldest Boy’ is a fascinating, extraordinary piece of work. The story it tells and the way she tells it make for rich, complex, delightful theater.” He called the play “funny, mysterious, magical, beautiful and exotic.” Can’t beat that. It’s a meditation on loving and letting go with gorgeous costumes (some from a Tibetan cultural center in the Bay Area), ethnic dance, gongs,
bells, drums, masks and puppetry. Plus, it’s a chance to learn something about Buddhism, and the resilience and beauty of Tibetan culture. Sounds like a winning combination for the REP and audiences too. “The Oldest Boy” plays Nov. 12-Dec. 6 on the Lyceum Stage, San Diego REPertory Theatre, 79 Horton Plaza, downtown San Diego.

Waters, chef and owner of Waters Fine Catering). Meeting, greeting and tasting at this event made me feel empowered as part of the solution to the problem of climate change and its horrific effects on ocean marine life. Now for my sustainable contribution, an easy, armchair chef’s riff on Trey Foshee’s lobster taco that your family will fall for hook, line and sinker.
‘Sea-to-Table’ – a celebration for sustainable kindred spirits “Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned, and the last fish been caught will we realize we cannot eat money.” — Cree Indian proverb Last month I attended the locavore soiree titled “Sea-to-Table,” a UC San Diego Director’s Circle event hosted by Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) at the Robert Paine Forum, with sweeping views of the Pacific. The event had a guest list that read like a Who’s Who of sustainable scientists and foodies. Local purveyors, restaurateurs, chefs, mixologists, philanthropists and professors contributed their edibles and cooking skills, generosity of heart and spirit, knowledge of sustainable practices, environmentally responsible ethos, and marine research programs to bolster the quality of our lives and the health of our planet. According to Amro Hamdoun, associate professor of toxicology at SIO, “Our health as humans is closely linked to the health of the oceans. They are an important source of food, and the way in which we treat the ocean environment determines both the quality and quantity of food that we can harvest from them. Research on marine organisms has also been important for improving human health. Historically, studies at SIO have led to a wide range of relevant discoveries from new drugs based on natural marine chemicals to new insights into the treatment of infertility.”
Margaret Leinen, SIO director and vice chancellor at UC San Diego, was particularly excited about oceanic research sourcing marine materials to create a super antibiotic with the potential to ward off MRSA, an antibiotic-resistant bacterial infection. The theme of the event — “sustainability in our food, ecosystem and environment” — was incorporated in sweet and savory delights. Here are some local tidbits and sources that were shared with us during the evening. San Diego has been blessed with a bounty of organic farmers who offer their delectables at farmers markets and natural food stores. We have the luxury to live on fresh-picked produce that will not only be supporting these farmers, but also reducing the carbon footprint (i.e., polluting
long-distance transportation). Pescavores can appreciate such purveyors as San Diego-based Catalina Offshore Products, a fine fishmonger distributing sea treasures from southern California and Baja fishermen, such as jumbo scallops, lobster, masago and stone crab. Other local collaborators for the event were Acacia Pacific Aquaculture, Carlsbad Aquafarms, Baja Seas, Baja Wine Food, Janice Dodge, Go Green Agriculture, Planet Rooth, Specialty Produce, and Tuna Harbor Dockside Market. Back at the party, the gourmet food stations showcasing sustainable and local seafood and produce, prepared by celebrated chefs who volunteered their talents, included wood charred sweet potatoes with pickled fall vegetables and pistachio pesto (by Chad White, executive chef at La Justina and Común); spiny lobster tacos with chipotle drizzle, jalapeno slaw and tomato mint salsa on a housemade corn tortilla (by Chef Trey Foshee, George’s and Galaxy Taco); raw sea urchin with pickled cactus nopales, jako baby fish, flying trout roe, red ogo lettuce and kelp with yuzu vinaigrette (Chef Andrew Spurgin of Bespoke Event Styling); and “surf and turf” with yellowtail hiramasa Baja with chiles, lime juice and coconut drizzle (Javier Plascencia, executive chef at Misión 19, Finca Altozano, and Bracero). For the desserts, a melding of sweet and spicy flavors from a corn tres leches with vanilla bean chile anglaise (by Mary Kay

her naked body and accompanied her to a hospital, where she was given up for dead and placed in the morgue. Her family found her three days later, still alive, but barely. A doctor arranged to have Phuc transferred to a Saigon hospital. After 17 operations, she survived. “Inside me was a strong little girl determined to live,” she said. With her skin horribly disfigured, Phuc soon discovered — despite her survival — that the pain within her body would never go away. From this act of violence, Phuc’s presentation traced her life, weaving a tale of tenacity as she grew stronger — aided by her loving mother — then went to school and was transferred to Havana University to study English and Spanish, where she met her future husband, Bui Huy Toan. Long haunted by “that

out and took a photograph, which once again had her unwittingly gaining worldwide attention. As her story was being retold, Phuc was invited to speak at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., in 1996,

terms, she would have to defect. The chance came as the couple were returning to Cuba after a honeymoon in Moscow when their plane took a refueling stop in Newfoundland. They had only split seconds to decide. But Toan agreed to Phuc’s plan and they never got back on the plane, defecting to Canada where they were free to start a family and lead a normal life, and where they live today with two adult sons. That plan changed when a photographer sought Phuc
where she humbly spoke of peace. “I saw the rows upon rows of names. It was very emotional for me,” she recalled. But the event became far more than a public speech when the serviceman who had piloted the plane that bombed her village asked for her forgiveness. Capt. John Plummer had suffered his own open wound since that fateful day, and Phuc did not hesitate to forgive him. “It was a true reconciliation, more powerful than any weapons of war,” she explained.
Through her experience, Phuc has learned invaluable life lessons that we can all benefit from. Her belief in her Christian faith, her hope for humanity, and her ability to see the positive aspects of life have changed her perspective from a wounded victim to an ambassador of peace and forgiveness, despite her constant pain. But the most difficult lesson was to take control of “that picture,” she said. For so many years, she wanted to hide from it. “Then I realized I could accept it as a powerful gift, so now I work with that picture for good.” Visit www.kimfoundation. com to learn about Kim Phuc’s charity, founded to support the work of international organizations that provide free medical assistance to children who are victims of war and terrorism. Building schools and hospitals and providing aid for refugees are some of the projects funded since its founding in 1997.

FROM SWELL, B6 where creativity runs wild with whatever fresh ingredients are available. Recently they were serving up Swell’s take on an all-natural pumpkin spice latte with Chino Farm’s Napoletana squash, beans roasted with cinnamon and brown sugar, simple syrup infused with fresh ginger and cayenne, espresso and steamed milk. The food menu includes breakfast and lunch offerings like French toast, parfaits, salads and panini, but a new menu will roll out on Nov. 6. At Swell, they use a lot of local ingredients — Mikolich Family Honey from Temecula, Madagascar vanilla for their syrup, and single-origin Nibble chocolate for their mochas. “Nothing comes out of a can,” Corrales said. “We make our own syrups, which we are really proud of.” Organic Straus Milk is used at both Swell locations. “We’re making sure we’re using coffee to its fullest extent and not taking the flavor out of the bean,” Corrales said. “We want to make sure we represent the farmer and their hard work and everything it took to create that special bean.” Vallas said they have merely “put lipstick” on the Flower Hill location, just to get it up and running as soon as possible. In January, they will close for a full renovation. Part of the changes will be a major kitchen renovation, which will allow them to diversify their food menu. They are also in the process of getting a liquor and beer license. Swell will also take over the space next door, which was once a gourmet chocolate

He plans to have it up and running before Thanksgiving. Longtime visitors to the coffee shop need not worry — any changes to the décor and layout will be mostly for efficiency and functionality. “We are not going to take the soul out of this place; that’s something we’re really interested in preserving,” Vallas said. “We’re really strongly passionate about the essence of this place.”
