The Del Mar Union School District held a series of public forums last week to gather feedback on how the community would like the district to proceed on its facilities needs. Forums were held at the three campuses most in need of improvements: Del Mar Heights, Del Mar Hills and Carmel Del Mar. Superintendent Holly McClurg said they hope to give the board direction on how community members want them to address the $133 million of improvement projects identified in the 2014 facilities master plan, and whether they should consider placing a bond on the 2016 ballot to meet their funding shortfall. “We really want authentic voices from the community that will inform the board’s next steps,” McClurg said. The district’s top three priorities are modernization,
technology infrastructure and converting portable classrooms to permanent buildings. The most work is needed at the three oldest campuses: $24 million at Del Mar Heights and $22 million at Del Mar Hills and Carmel Del Mar. Converting portables to permanent campus buildings is a major focus of the facilities needs. There are 13 portables at Del Mar Heights and they are reaching 15 to 25 years old. “We’re lucky we have a really good crew that maintains them, but really our portables have run the end of life and we’re at the time we really need to consider creating permanent buildings for those classrooms,” said Jason Romero, assistant superintendent. To illustrate the point, the school’s plant manager came in to inform Principal Wendy Wardlow in the middle of the forum that SEE DMUSD, A10
New Sheriff’s captain believes in community policing BY JARED WHITLOCK John Maryon recently took over as captain of the Encinitas Sheriff’s substation, but he’s by no means new to the community. This is Maryon’s fourth stint at the substation. He first worked as a patrol deputy in 1996, then in the community-oriented policing unit, and later was assigned to a street narcotics detail. “I’ve experienced local
issues from the deputy level, the sergeant level and the detective level,” he said. Rising through the ranks at the substation made him a big believer of community-centric policing. The approach calls for officers to walk the beat and get to know residents and business owners. “As a younger deputy working in patrol, I didn’t always see the whole picture,” Maryon said while sitting in his office. “Later, I SEE SHERIFF, A20

3-Day walkers stride into pink celebration in Del Mar
KAREN BILLING
Local residents welcomed Susan G. Komen 3-Day walkers to Del Mar Nov. 20 with a festive, fun and very pink atmosphere. Village businesses decorated their storefronts and residents lined the sidewalks to cheer, clap and dispense high fives. Torrey Pines High cheerleaders waved pink pom poms and Del Mar firefighters also came out to support the walkers in their efforts to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer. The cheering station brought lots of smiles to walkers’ faces as they set off on their three-day, 60-mile journey. See more photos on page B8.
Developers unveil plans for Solana Beach train station development BY KRISTINA HOUCK Community members learned about four competing proposals for the development of the Solana Beach Transit Center during two workshops last week. With approval from the Solana Beach City Council, the North County Transit District solicited and received proposals for a mixed-use development at the train station and adjacent property, both of which are owned by the district. The city has worked closely with the district on the outline of the project, which includes preserving the existing Quonset hut-shaped train station, though perhaps repurposing it, adding new uses and expanding parking, while adhering to the community’s character, including nearby activities
and architecture. “True collaboration between the city and NCTD has allowed us to get to this point, and I look forward to welcoming a development partner to the team who believes in our mutual desires for a successful project that complements our city’s unique seaside character and scale,” said Councilman Mike Nichols in a press release prior to the workshops. The train station and adjacent 1.5-acre site sit at the corner of Cedros Avenue and Lomas Santa Fe Drive. The development is expected to be an extension of Cedros Design District, a popular destination for the coastal city, complete with restaurants, shops and other activities, including the Belly Up Tavern, a live music venue. Four prospective developers presented their

Chesnut Properties of Solana Beach, Dahlin Group of Solana Beach, Strategic Assets Group of San Diego and Creative Housing Associates of Los Angeles displayed their concepts and discussed their proposals. Representatives from each group stressed that their proposals were still in the early stages, and that they intended to gather input from residents, the city and the transit district. “We’re a part of the community and we care about the community,” said Nancy Keenan, president of the Dahlin Group, which is located on South Cedros Avenue. “We’re here to listen.” Keenan said Dahlin SEE TRAIN, A20

DMUSD hires new head of child care, after-school programs
Starbucks in Solana Beach shopping center to sell alcohol
BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District has hired Laurie Ildau as new director of child care and after-school programs. The appointment was announced at the board’s Nov. 18 meeting. “She was part of a very strong candidate pool and emerged as the most qualified leader for the program,” said Assistant Superintendent Shelley Petersen. “She has a wealth of experience in early childhood development ... she is very skilled and will make sure the program soars to even greater heights.” Ildau, a former high school English teacher in Denver, has experience as a preschool director in the Vista Unified School District and as the interim preschool director at King Chavez Academy of Excellence in the Barrio Logan community of San Diego. Most recently, she was the owner and director of The Studio, a private preschool in her Vista home. “I’m very excited to be part of this district,” Ildau said. “This is a really wonderful opportunity and I look forward to being a part of the community for a long time.” Ildau replaces Julie Geisbauer, who held the position for five years. Three after-school child care workers spoke during public comment about their frustrations with poor communication about changes during the transition between directors.

Laurie Ildau teacher who has been with the district since 1991, said problems revolved around not being notified that they would be required to work camps like the upcoming Turkey Camp over Thanksgiving break, more mandatory meetings and not receiving schedules or benefits information in writing. “We would just like changes more effectively communicated; (the lack of communication) makes us feel unimportant and irrelevant,” said Diana Cao-Nguyen, who works in the infant room at Ashley Falls. The employees had not yet met Ildau and were introduced to her at the meeting. Not even officially on the job yet, Ildau asured them that this would be addressed: “I understand your concerns … We’ll get there,” she said.
Coffee and tea soon won’t be the only drinks on the menu at Starbucks in Solana Beach. The City Council on Nov. 18 unanimously authorized a conditional use permit so the shop in the Solana Beach Town Center could sell alcohol. With the council’s vote, the Starbucks site will introduce its corporate “Evenings Program,” which includes an expanded food menu as well as the sale of beer and wine for onsite consumption. “Starbucks is very excited about the opportunity to roll out the program in your area at this location,” said Jim Forgey of Architects Orange on behalf of Starbucks. “This Starbucks, in fact, has been a popular community-based, family-oriented place for people in the area.” The applicant asked to sell alcohol from 4 to 10 p.m. daily.

Mesa board OKs plans for development BY SUZANNE EVANS At the Nov. 12 meeting of the Del Mar Mesa Planning Board, Chairman Gary Levitt presented for board members’ approval his plans for Rhodes Crossing. The development is a 147-acre mixed-use project of which he has acquired 40 acres adjacent to the Del Mar Mesa preserve, south of Route 56 and east of Camino del Sur. The board unanimously recommended approval of the project (Levitt recused himself from the vote), which will now go to the San Diego City Council for approval. Levitt, president of Seabreeze Properties, Inc., said he has emphasized the mixed use by increasing the areas of homes, townhomes, and apartments situated above retail, as well as including a shopping center. He described the project, planned for commercial buildings and residential development, as containing 150 single-family homes and apartment buildings. “It will be a true mixed-use project,” Levitt said, consisting of homes, townhomes, apartments above retail, a grocery store, movie theatre, shops and restaurants. Board member Lisa Ross, however, has previously noted that Rhodes Crossing is a “heavily SEE BOARD, A22

TPHS teen launches ‘Phone Free Pledge’: Don’t text and drive BY KAREN BILLING Torrey Pines High School has teamed up with Canyon Crest Academy, La Costa Canyon and San Dieguito Academy to drive awareness of the dangers of distracted driving through a new “Phone Free Pledge” effort. The pledge is focused on new drivers — the teenagers on San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) campuses — to make a commitment to drive phone-free. Julia Kelley, a Torrey Pines senior, came up with the idea for the campaign and worked with the school administration and Associated Student Body (ASB) leadership groups to make it a district-wide program. Julia said she has almost been hit multiple times by someone who was distracted and driving using their phone. She said it is both “terrifying and annoying” to see friends text and drive, and she gives them a hard time if they ever pull their phones out. “Distracted driving has become the number one
“Distracted driving has become the “number one cause of teen fatalities in
the United States today. In my sophomore year, when I first learned how critical this problem is, I noticed that there was really no discussion or awareness of it in our communities … It’s important that we, as a community, stand together to face and drive away this problem.”

The
pledge has been staged as a competition between schools to see who can have the highest participation. Julia hopes the friendly competition will help raise awareness and make for safer roads in the community. “The ultimate goal is to save lives and to prevent future accidents. It breaks my heart to read or hear about death after death due to distracted driving,” she said. “I want to try to save the lives of our friends, families, and classmates that would otherwise be needlessly

Comedian brings inspirational workshop to Encinitas BY KRISTINA HOUCK From the club to the big screen, stand-up comedian Kyle Cease has celebrated many successes throughout his career. Cease honed his craft as a child, performing at clubs when he was just 12 years old. By 18, he was a headlining comic, and at 19, he was cast in the 1999 cult classic “10 Things I Hate About You.” In the years that followed, Cease spoke at more than 100 high schools and colleges and had more than 100 different television and movie appearances, including a role in the 2001 film “Not Another Teen Movie,” and spots on “Jimmy Kimmel Live,” “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” and “Chelsea Lately,” among other shows. His career reached new heights with two No. 1 Comedy Central specials. Despite his success, however, Cease found himself unhappy. “We believe that when something happens we’ll be happy. I think that’s a big lie we all believe in,” Cease said. “I got to have a lot of those things. But I still was constantly thinking, ‘What’s next?’” So at the height of his career, Cease dropped everything to
“I started realizing it’s not when “something happens I’ll be happy, it’s
when I’m happy, things will happen. I started getting really passionate about showing people that we’re living in a lie, this place where happiness is later.”
”
Kyle Cease
stand-up comedian discover his own truth. For five years now, he has blended comedy and transformation in collaborative workshops where he helps others let go of their fears and embrace possibilities. “I started realizing it’s not when something happens I’ll be happy, it’s when I’m happy, things will happen,” Cease said. “I started getting really passionate about showing people that we’re living in a lie, this place where happiness is later.” Though meant to help others, the workshops have also been helpful for Cease, who is still learning about himself. “Every day I get to connect to myself a little bit more,” Cease said. “And every day, the external
results match my connection to myself. Now I’m in love with not knowing. Because every single day, the greatest vision that I could have for myself doesn’t touch what could actually happen.” The comedian-turnedmotivational speaker is coming to Encinitas this weekend. The “Evolving Out Loud” workshop is set for 1:15 p.m. Nov. 29 at the Seaside Center for Spiritual Living, where Cease is also scheduled as a featured speaker during the 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. services. “It’s me talking about tapping into that creative childlike state, coupled with comedy,” explained Seattle-born Cease. “I hope people take away that they don’t have to push to make

things work,” he added. “We live in a world where people believe they are very limited and they take themselves way too seriously. I believe that you’re infinite and you totally don’t have to take yourself seriously.” The workshop will take place at the Seaside Center for Spiritual

Local attorney, entrepreneur give advice to people laid off at Qualcomm BY KRISTINA HOUCK With recent layoffs from big technology company Qualcomm, two locals are encouraging those impacted to think outside the box when taking the next step in their career. “Look at the bright side of the change and find out what has been the reason the industry is changing this way,” said local entrepreneur Yuan Li, who started his own company after being laid off a few years ago. “If you find an answer to that, maybe there is an opportunity out there for you to explore.” In September, Qualcomm cut 1,314 full-time jobs in San Diego and hundreds more in the Bay Area and in other states. The San Diego Union-Tribune reported that the wireless chip company gave workers 60-days notice, which meant that Nov. 20 was their final day. Having been laid off from

another major tech company, Li knows firsthand what they are going through. Originally from China, Li came to San Diego after grad school to work for Texas Instruments. He joined the company in 2004. When the chipmaker closed its San Diego wireless division in 2008, Li and his colleagues were suddenly out of work. So he and
four of his friends decided to use their skills to start their own consulting company called IPG Communications. “It was sad for us to accept that the effort we put into the technology is not going to be used anymore,” explained Li. “However, it did not take long for me to change my mood since there is a group of people we would like to

take care of from TI. “It was a very exciting experience,” he continued. “We contributed a lot to the customers’ projects and also opened up our view into the industry. We invested in our own IP design and created a high-speed Turbo decoder design.” In 2011, Mindspeed Technologies acquired the San Diego startup. Mindspeed has since been acquired by Intel, for which Li serves as an engineering manager. Looking back at the start of his company, Li said he and his colleagues-turned-business-partners started off by working with local business attorney Will Moore. Moore, who lives in Torrey Hills, helped them set up their business by preparing for success. “The problems all come when you have success,” said Moore of Sorrento Valley-based The Moore Firm. “Plan for success from the outset.” Moore, who has practiced law for 13 years, said it’s important for
people starting a new business to establish a legal foundation by evaluating future issues and solutions. He recommended anyone considering such a venture to craft agreements at the start, create a clear decision-making process and construct clear and fair rules. “Get your deal in between your partners so everybody knows exactly what the plan is — how you plan to make money, what you expect everybody to do and what they’re going to get out of it,” said Moore, who added the first step in starting a business is hiring an accountant and an attorney. “It’s a real opportunity,” Moore said regarding those laid off from Qualcomm. “A lot of these folks have been looking for a way to go out and do it themselves for many years. This is a really great time to do it. The economy is good and there is demand for engineering services.”

Now, with the launching of its new website — friendsofthepowerhouse.org — this nonprofit reveals the many efforts made to preserve iconic structures, create and renovate facilities, and ensure the Del Mar beach and park areas can be accessed and enjoyed by all. It also offers ways for people to support the organization that enhances Del Mar’s exceptional quality of life. The website delves into the rich history of the original historical powerhouse, highlights the decades-long commitment of founders such as Barbara Harper (the group’s vice president), and showcases the numerous ways in which it supports and promotes preservation, restoration and recreation. The results of its efforts can be seen in the widely used Powerhouse Park, Beach Safety/Community Center and surrounding facilities, and in community-friendly

Fairy tale provides lesson at SDJA Most people have read the story of the Three Little Pigs who made their houses out of straw, wood and bricks in an effort to withstand the huffing and puffing of the Big, Bad Wolf. Well, it’s no different at the San Diego Jewish Academy (SDJA) — except for a few minor points. SDJA’s Golda Meir Lower School, the first elementary school in San Diego to adopt the science curriculum of Project Lead The Way (PLTW), has its students learning about design process and material science. They are exploring structure and function, and this is where the story of the Three Little Pigs comes to life. For their lesson, the students had to help three little pigs to build a house out of whatever material they had available: sticks, straws or bricks. The
San Diego Jewish Academy’s kindergarten class applied STEM concepts to the story of the Three Little Pigs. function of the house was to protect the pigs from the big, bad wolf. After reading the story, the students brainstormed on how to best design and hold their structures together. The students then
sketched their designs, built the houses, and their teacher — Mrs. Lerner, aka the Big Bad Wolf — used a blow dryer to test their functionality. The results of the tests were carefully analyzed, and if the house
could not withstand the wolf’s blow, the students made changes to their design. All in a day’s work in SDJA’s Science/STEM lab — for kindergartners!

We hope everyone takes time to enjoy these wonderful amenities. Meet you at the Powerhouse!” The Friends of the Powerhouse is a 501(c)3 organization formed in 2001.

SB student one of two at Parker with perfect ACT score Two Parker seniors, Anoushka Bose, 17, and Solana Beach resident Cameron Burnett, 18, both earned the highest possible ACT Composite score of 36. On average, less than one-tenth of 1 percent of students who take the ACT earn a perfect score. The test consists of tests in English, mathematics, reading and science. Exceptional scores of 36 provide colleges with evidence of a student’s readiness for the academic rigors that lie ahead. Students received letters from the ACT chief executive officer recognizing this exceptional achievement. “Your achievement on the ACT is significant and rare," wrote Janet Godwin. “While test scores are just one multiple criteria that most colleges consider when making admission decisions, your exceptional ACT Composite score should prove helpful as you pursue your education and career goals.” The ACT test scores are accepted by all major US colleges and are used when considering a student for admission.

Santa Fe Christian Schools accepting applications for 2016/17 Eagle Scholarship Santa Fe Christian Schools (SFC) recently announced it is accepting applications for the 2016/17 Eagle Scholarship until Feb. 1, 2016. The Eagle Scholarship is awarded annually to one incoming freshman who excels academically; puts his/her faith in action; displays outstanding leadership skills; and has demonstrated financial need. Six students have received the Eagle Scholarship to date, with two previous recipients now attending Harvard and Stanford.
FROM DMUSD, A1 there was a rat infestation in one of the portables and they had to evacuate children from their classroom. Board member Erica Halpern attended all the sessions at Del Mar Hills, Del Mar Heights and Carmel Del Mar, and said she was glad to get the parents’ input. Her child is in one of the rat-infested portables whose classroom will now be displaced for weeks and she said that really hammered home that this is a district priority: “The portables are well-past their useful life.” The 2014 facility master plan’s scope of work includes modernization, technology infrastructure, collaboration space, transforming libraries into innovation centers, front
The scholarship recipient will receive funding for tuition, books, uniforms, field trips and athletic fees for up to four years. The SFC Scholarship Committee will review applications and select a set of semi-finalists. The Eagle Scholarship winner will be announced in March 2016.

office improvements, professional learning centers, parent workrooms, covered play and dining areas, and improved parking lot circulation. “Parking is an issue at all schools, but at Del Mar Heights, parking is at a premium,” McClurg said. Wardlow said there are 48 spots (with four auctioned off) and 60 staff members. With limited street parking and the school at the end of a cul-de-sac, McClurg said Heights is their most challenging entry and exit situation in the district. Wardlow said covered dining is a real problem at their campus, as they don’t have an area flat enough to have a covered eating space with real lunch tables. Students eat lunches on the benches. In light of the El Nino
year, Wardlow said the school is already fretting about what to do if the weather doesn’t cooperate for their annual Winterfest celebration, which is held outside. “If allowed to dream,” Wardlow said, she would love a larger multi-use room (MUR), because the one on campus isn’t big enough to hold one class, let alone a whole school performance. “This school, if you think about it, wasn’t really finished,” said McClurg, noting it was built in 1959 during a very different time. At Del Mar Hills, parents spoke about the need for field improvements, which were not included in the facilities master plan but could be addressed with a bond program. Options to address the funding shortfall include a

Holiday blanket and jacket drive in DM for North County families The city of Del Mar and the Del Sol Lions have teamed up to collect new and gently used blankets and jackets for the annual Holiday Baskets Program. The Community Resource Center started this program more than 30 years ago by distributing baskets of food to 50 low-income working families. Today, the Holiday Basket Program serves more than 1,700 pre-qualified North County families, and the generic baskets of food have expanded to a dignified shopping experience held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. This year, the groups are looking to collect 6,500 new and gently used coats and jackets and 1,800 new and used blankets. Bring unwrapped blankets and jackets to the Del Mar City Hall Lobby at 1050 Camino Del Mar during normal business hours (7:30 a.m.-5:30 p.m. Monday-Thursday, 7:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m. Friday). Items will be collected through Dec. 18. Contact Caroline Matthews at Del Sol Lions, 858-481-2499, or Melinda Gould at Del Mar City Hall, 858-755-9313. district-wide general obligation (GO) bond and a school facilities improvement district (SFID) that identifies a specific area where only those voters within the SFID would vote and be assessed taxes. Projects funded by the SFID must be located within its boundaries. Parents at Del Mar Heights weren’t sure about the fairness of an SFID around the most needy schools of Hills and Heights. “It’s like saying ‘You can carve yourself out and you can pay for it,’” one parent said. “The SFID model flies in the face of the district-wide drumbeat of parity … a district-wide bond feels more robust for the future facilities needs. I think that’s healthier and more consistent with the notion of parity.”
In 10 years, the other schools may be in need of improvements, and having more funds available district-wide would be helpful, parents said. They also had concerns that if there were a district-wide GO bond, that the priority funding would go to the schools most in need. DMUSD last went out for a bond in 2012 with Prop CC, a $76.8 million bond that would cost property owners $8.44 per $100,000 of assessed property value or about $65 for the average homeowner. Prop CC received 53.74 percent of the required 55 percent to pass. Looking at another possible bond effort, McClurg said “quite honestly” she doesn’t know what the community desires and whether a GO bond or SFID would be more likely to
pass — making public input and education all the more important. “Four years ago, we lost by about 100 votes. There were a lot of different variables, and we’re at a different place now,” Romero said. “We want to get the flavor and sentiment of what the school communities feel so the board can make an informed decision.” “There is a lot of energy around making sure our schools are of the highest caliber,” McClurg said, noting how important high quality schools are to the entire community, not just for people with students in the district. The district welcomes more input at facilities@dmusd.org.

S. veterans and wounded warriors in honor of the upcoming Veteran’s Day Holiday. The team was involved in this trifecta of events in one weekend. The Torrey Pines lacrosse family has been the model program amongst San Diego high school teams, in the area of community service over the last six seasons and continues to build and fine tune the culture of their program through development of character and extensive service in the community.

On Oct. 24, members of the lacrosse team participated in a wheelchair lacrosse tournament by Wheelchair Lacrosse USA at 4S Ranch Sports Park. Wheelchair lacrosse is played by amputees and paraplegics. The event was an awareness campaign and fundraiser for their organization which enables paraplegics and
amputees an opportunity to enjoy this fast action game of finesse, power and speed. The Torrey Pines players competed against disabled athletes and other local high school teams, in basketball wheelchairs.
Veterans Hospital Halloween Visit
On Oct. 25, the team visited veterans at the VA San Diego Medical Center in La Jolla. After being briefed on the operations of the medical center and veterans who are there for treatment and care, the team members visited with approximately 60 veterans, passing out Halloween treat bags to spread Halloween cheer and taking the time to chat with the veterans, hear their personal stories and show them support and appreciation for their service in the U.S. military. The lacrosse team gives it everything they have when out on the lacrosse fields, but these veterans gave it all they had for the United States of America. This was a great way to kick off the Veteran’s Day holiday!
Special Speaker: Eric McElvenny To culminate the team’s three day special events service weekend, on Oct. 26, the lacrosse team was very fortunate to have the opportunity to hear the moving and motivating life story of Eric McElvenny, retired Marine Corps
Captain, ironman, and motivational speaker. Eric served seven years in the United States Marine Corps, deploying three times worldwide. He was wounded in action in Afghanistan by an improvised explosive device (IED). Eric joined the lacrosse team in their team room prior to conditioning and shared his life story along with video slides highlighting his fascinating journey of overcoming extreme challenges in his life. Eric travels across the country to speak, inspire and motivate others to grow from challenge.

Six tips to lessen the stress for heart-healthy holidays BY POULINA UDDIN, M.D.
The holiday season is almost here, bringing with it the usual traditions of family gatherings, shopping, cooking, baking and parties. Sometimes, however, these normally festive activities can lead to not-so-festive feelings of stress and anxiety. Many people feel pressured to fit all of the holiday extras into an already-packed schedule, or spend an unrealistic amount of money on gifts. The holidays also can trigger an increase in depression, particularly for people who don’t have family or friends nearby, or who have recently lost loved ones. Any of these negative emotions can be harmful to your health. Add in the tendency to eat or drink too much, and the holidays can take a toll — especially on your heart. The heart-healthy tips below can help you make the most of the holidays and maintain your well-being. 1. Set realistic expectations. The holidays are only perfect in advertisements. In real life, we need to decide what is most
important and adjust our expectations and priorities accordingly. What do you absolutely need to get done? What would you really like to do, as opposed to what you feel you “should” do? Learn to say no to an invitation if you would rather spend a quiet night at home. Use a caterer or buy cookies if you don’t have time to do it yourself. 2. Make a plan. Use a calendar to plan your activities so you can easily see where you need to be and when, and minimize the stress of being rushed or overbooked. Remember to schedule in travel time, as well as extra time in case of traffic or unforeseen delays. Schedule time for exercise (more on this below). Finally, include downtime for yourself. Block off an hour or two with no commitments, so you can do whatever you’d like, or nothing at all. 3. Take advantage of technology. Avoid the stress of crowds and traffic by going digital.

His reasons for doing so were fully explained and irrefutable to any property owner who wants to protect one of the most desirable and therefore valuable residential areas in the entire United States. The bottom line is that renters simply don’t have the same respect for property values, law and order and their neighbors that owners do, period. A recent cartoon in another community newspaper put it thusly: A 20-something guy is knocking on the door of a home owner and
personalized electronic greeting cards. Visit with long-distance friends and family via social media such as Skype or FaceTime. 4. Celebrate in moderation. Between special events, dinner parties and treats at work, the holidays can serve up a tempting array of foods that are high in fat, sugar and salt — none of which are good for your heart. Obesity, too, is a leading cause of cardiovascular disease. It’s fine to treat yourself, as long as you don’t overdo it. Have a healthy snack before a dinner party to take the edge off your hunger, and start with small servings (you can always go back for more). If you drink alcohol, limit yourself to one or two drinks. 5. Stay active. When your schedule is packed, exercising often is one of the first things to go. Don’t skip your workouts and tell yourself that you will make a New Year's resolution to lose weight. Staying active during the holidays is more important than making a plan to become active afterward. Getting just 30 minutes of exercise a day,
such as a walk, jog or bicycle ride, has important cardiovascular benefits and can help reduce your stress level as well. Break it up into 10-minute chunks if that makes it easier. If possible, take advantage of the calming benefits of nature and exercise outdoors. 6. Take a time-out. If you do find yourself feeling overwhelmed, anxious or irritable, give yourself a break. If you can, get away from whatever is causing your stress, even for just a few minutes. Have a cup of tea at the mall or step outside at a crowded party. When you can’t physically remove yourself, do so mentally by taking a few minutes to focus on your breathing. Simply taking five deep, slow breaths can interrupt your body’s stress response, lower blood pressure and slow your heart rate. You’ll feel calmer, and your heart will thank you.

saying: “Hello, my name is Jason and I’ll be your neighbor this weekend. Say, I was wondering if I could borrow a cup of Scotch.” My impression is that the short-term rental advocates are bombarding City Council meetings with their views while the other side is not, and Council members are measuring “public opinion” accordingly. If motivated home owners who cherish their home and neighborhood have any hope for the Council coming to the right decision, the time to speak out is NOW! Because there is far more at stake here than meets the eye, or all of the illusory and short-sighted profit motives combined. Jim Donovan Del Mar

Local Girl Scouts share Thanksgiving bounty BY KAREN BILLING Sage Canyon’s eighth annual Girl Scouts Thanksgiving Project was held on Nov. 18 with 10 local Girl Scout troops and one Boy Scout Troop (Pack 765 from Sage Canyon) coming together to make the holiday special for 125 families in need. The troops, representing Sage Canyon, Torrey Hills and Ocean Air schools, worked together to collect a variety of items to make a happy Thanksgiving meal — canned yams, beans, cranberry sauce, gravy, stuffing, tin foil, cooking oil and a gift card to purchase a turkey. At the packing party, the girls and boys decorated a card for the families and filled up their bags using a checklist. Parents helped tie up the bags with a bow and they were gifted to low-income families through Friends and Family Community Connections. Through the project, the Girl Scouts and Boy Scouts learned a valuable lesson about gratitude and the power of giving back. “It's hard to believe, although we live in a Carmel Valley ‘bubble,’ that there are so very many families struggling to put a thanksgiving meal on the table in our own backyard,” said Teresa Miller, who organized the project. Miller thanked the girls and boys for doing a “tremndous job” bringing love to 125 families this year and for all the parents who helped make the project possible. Photos by Karen Billing

FROM TRAIN, A1 Group’s proposal features an “iconic restaurant” at Lomas Santa Fe south of the train station, the “gateway” to the complex. The station would be preserved but converted to a civic and events venue. The project also includes an urban plaza and outdoor marketplace pavilion for food vendors and events such as farmers markets and festivals. Additionally, the proposal includes 96 one-, twoand three-bedroom apartments. Michael Dieden, president of Creative Housing Associates, proposed a development called The Cove at Solana Beach. The concept includes an art house cinema, boutique hotel, neighborhood food market and 50 residential units. The highlight of the project is an automated parking system that uses hydraulic lifts and would take up half the space. “It’s intelligent parking for the 21st century,” Dieden said. No matter what was proposed, Dieden said, the community would ultimately shape his group’s project. “We’re getting people’s ideas and then we’re going to refine our proposal based on that input,” he said. Strategic Assets Group, which is led by local businessmen Joe Balla and John DeWald, brought a large-scale model of their proposed Cedros Market concept. Plans include retail, restaurant, office and residential space. The project also features an additional bridge, enhancing pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular access, and three levels of
underground parking. “What we have endeavored to do with this plan is to protect the history and flavor of the Cedros Avenue Design District, while creating a future that will be enjoyed by all,” Balla said in a press release. “The Cedros Market project is near and dear to our hearts because we are passionate about what happens in our community, and what gets built here.” Chesnut Properties of Solana Beach proposed a development called The Station Solana Beach. The proposal was one of the better-defined projects, featuring about 72,700 square feet including the existing train station. The proposed small-scale cluster of buildings included a 12,450-square-foot boutique-style beach hotel with 12 rooms, three restaurants totaling 18,450 square feet of space, 14,600 square feet in retail space, 9,600 square feet in residential space with 10 units, 7,600 square feet in office space, a 7,000-square-foot community center and the existing 3,000-square-foot train station building. “This fits within the fabric of the existing community," said Nicholas Olavi Alanen of Gensler, the lead architectural firm attached to The Station proposal. Representatives from the city and a transit district committee will ultimately select their preferred proposal, which will be subject to approval by the transit district board and the California Coastal Commission.
FROM SHERIFF, A1 gained the understanding of ‘OK, I need to go out and meet people and get the community’s trust.’ You want to work with the public to solve problems.” The philosophy served him especially well when he was assigned to the local narcotics detail. Maryon said public tips and informants led to key arrests. “I knew the area,” he said. “I knew the community. I knew the pockets of places with drug issues. And I had good connections to citizens.” Community-oriented policing isn’t only about fighting crime, though. It can also be applied to quality-of-life issues, a big deal locally, Maryon said. “In the overall scheme of crime, someone parking in the red zone of a local school might not seem like a huge deal. But to the families dealing with it during pick-up — that’s their issue and should be our issue.” Maryon added that he has implored deputies to police as if it were their neighborhood. He’s also an advocate of “information-led policing,” as evidenced by his desk. It had a stack of paperwork that showed where and when calls for service occurred. Maryon said he soon planned to pore over the stats to see whether officers should be redeployed or work different times. Outside law enforcement, he has gotten to know many in the

Plus, he has coached various local youth sports. “It really makes it more personal here to keep it safe when your family is shopping here, and your friends’ homes could potentially be victimized by burglaries and thefts.” Maryon, who grew up in San Diego, originally wanted to be a pilot. A friend later persuaded him to give law enforcement a try. Twenty-three years into the career, he hasn’t looked back. “It’s exciting — it’s something different every day.

Falcons playoff bid ended by El Camino BY WALTER BAYS Tristen Alesi sat thinking of the catch he missed. As the ball fell to the ground so ended Torrey Pines’ season and hopes of a victory over El Camino in the CIF quarter finals. Never mind that Alesi took crushing hits as the ball arrived from not one but two Wildcat defenders to shake the ball loose. Never mind that he was left flat in the end zone tended by the trainers for long minutes afterward. IF ONLY he had managed to hang onto the ball the Falcons would have had another last minute win in their season of clutch victories, like 17-13 over El Camino in the regular season in the final seconds. But the Falcons were in the position to win with that pass thanks to Alesi’s outstanding rushing for 47 yards and catching passes for 123 yards. He was a big part of the reason the Falcons were in the playoffs, with plenty of help from his teammates like Matthew Feeler who rushed for 64

Tristen Alesi makes 73 yard reception. yards, and made key catches and first downs. In the regular season game Michael Gadinis caught pass after pass including a last second game winning toss. So El Camino had him double covered, which left holes for Falcon running backs and receivers. On their first series the Falcons looked unstoppable with Alesi, Feeler, and Duerr picking up big gains, but the drive stalled on the Wildcat 30 where they turned the ball over on downs. After appearing to go 3 and out,
the Wildcat punter took the snap and ran for a first down. The drive was capped by a 37-yard touchdown run for the game’s first score. In the 2nd quarter Alesi caught a pass and ran 50 yards to the Wildcat 21 for a Luc D’Arcy field goal to make it 7-3. Falcon Ty Helfrich, in at quarterback, ran 18 yards to the Wildcat 33 then Jacob Montes and Duerr carried for another 1st down at the 23. A lost fumble ended the Falcon threat and El Camino threatened in turn until Alesi picked off a Wildcat
pass on the 9 as the half ended. Torrey Pines faced 3rd and 22 from their 24 when Kelley hit Alesi who ran all the way to the 3, but the Falcons couldn’t punch it in. El Camino took over on their 1 foot line and on 3rd and 9 Chris Brown popped through for a 98 yard touchdown run to go ahead 14-3. The Falcons came back with Alesi running for 30 yards, 1st and goal at the 5. The Wildcats pushed Torrey Pines back to 3rd and goal at the 19, then Kelley found O’Brien in the end zone for the touchdown. 14-10. Torrey Pines’ defense held the Wildcats on tackles by Feeler and Kim Murray. The Falcons drove from their 39 to 4th and goal at the Wildcat 3, turning it over on the incomplete pass. Though all the Falcons on the field and in the stands wished for one more last minute come from behind win, we never lacked for exciting football this year.

When Maryon was promoted to captain, his first choice was the Encinitas substation, also called the North Coast Station. “I thought, ‘I’d love to come here, since I have community ties.’” He replaced Theresa Adams-Hydar, who will be handling internal operations within the Sheriff’s Department. As captain, he oversees not only Encinitas, but also Del Mar, Solana Beach and unincorporated areas like Rancho Santa Fe.

“Solana Beach is a forward-thinking city with all the bike activities and sharrow lanes (shared lane bicycle marking).” BikeWalkSolana works for better bicycling and walking facilities and promotes cycling and walking for people of all ages and abilities in Solana Beach. The group hosts Bike Safety Rodeos for local children in the community every fall and spring. Members of BikeWalkSolana also bring an annual educational program to Solana Vista School, where students learn basic bicycle and pedestrian safety skills. The event was hosted in partnership with the city of Solana Beach, Del Sol Lions Club and Revolution Bikes. Participants received take-home tips and free flashing taillights. As a new addition, after completing the courses, participants received a certificate that looked like a California driver license, complete with their picture, for the operation of non-motorized vehicles, including bicycles, scooters and skateboards. “It’s always nice for them to take something away,”

Its heavy density detracts from the intended “rural nature” of Del Mar Mesa, and “is not compatible with an atmosphere of habitat preservation,” Ross said. Levitt said, “The biggest frustration is the project has been delayed.” It was slated for completion in early 2015. In other news: • Trail maintenance: Chair Gary Levitt and board trails representative Preston Drake noted the poor condition of some Del Mar Mesa trail fence posts. They said installation of several 8-foot posts to replace rotting posts could cost $32,000, which could come from a county grant at the end of 2015. Drake said a minimum 200 feet of posts would cost $5,000. • Police Department Community Relations Officer Tracey Williams, who monitors drivers speeding on the Del Mar Mesa preserve, noted a frequent speeder finally had a head-on accident and is being dealt with. “I hear all the complaints; traffic and CHP are monitoring.” • Keith Corry, District 3 Supervisor Dave Roberts’ land use aide, cited 35 new cases of West Nile virus activity in San Diego County, adding locations are listed at SanDiegoCounty.gov.

Presbyterian Preschool and Santa Fe Christian Schools — it is a popular gathering area for students once school is dismissed. Therefore, the Sheriff’s Captain recommended the store begin selling alcoholic beverages at 5 p.m., but council members moved forward with Starbucks’ original request. “I’ve actually got no problem with the 4 p.m. start time,” said Councilman Peter Zahn. “Yes, there are schools in the area, but from what I’ve seen, the Starbucks in our community, the two of them, have behaved responsibly.” Located west of Interstate 5 at 691 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Starbucks occupies a 2,413-square-foot space as well as an 801-square-foot outdoor patio. The business is open from 4 a.m. to 10 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday. Along with the addition of alcohol, Starbucks plans to reduce the total number of tables at the store from 33 to 24 and the number of chairs from 92 to 78. The applicant’s proposal did not necessitate an increase in parking spaces. Starbucks must also receive approval from the California Department of Alcoholic Beverage Control to begin selling alcohol. The council will re-evaluate the matter in six months.

Local resident celebrates 100th birthday
BY KAREN BILLING
Janette Lalor celebrated her 100th birthday at Brookdale Carmel Valley on Friday, Nov. 20, a few days ahead of her Nov. 22 official birth date. Lalor was born in Troy, New Hampshire in 1915, one of 14 children. She married David A. Lalor of Boston and they were married for 76 years until his death in 2011. As a couple they started out in Brookline, Mass., and then moved to Albany, New York before landing in Needham, Mass., where they spent 50 years raising a family that included David A. Lalor Jr. of Santa Monica and Marilyn Tracey of Rancho Santa Fe. Marilyn Tracey said that Lalor was a very devoted sister to her many family members—only one sister remains, a 90-year-old that Lalor is frequently in communication with. They like to speak to each other in French, Tracey said. For many years, Lalor
worked as a decorating consultant. A talented knitter, she also enjoyed playing tennis and a photo of her with her racket was perched on the piano at Brookdale. David and Janette retired to Cape Cod in their 80s and moved to San Diego in their 90s. The couple lived together at Brookdale and always sat at the same table in the corner of the dining room for meals. Janette still sits at the table every day. Lalor is now a grandmother to Marnie Tracey Wood and Martin Tracey and great-grandmother to Lauren, Kyle, Andrew and Patrick Tracey. All were in attendance for her big celebration. As two of Lalor’s favorite things are chocolate and Frank Sinatra, Brookdale’s Carol Pisniecki made sure that her birthday cake was heavy on the chocolate and that entertainers Double Take had plenty of Sinatra tunes in their repertoire.

Novel details unique life, voice of 19th-century female writer BY JOE TASH When novelist Elizabeth Berg came upon a few choice facts about the 19th-century French writer Aurore Dupin — who smoked cigars, often wore men’s clothing and worked under the pen name George Sand — she hungered for more details. Berg searched for a novel to read about Sand to help her gain an artistic appreciation of the writer, who penned more than 80 novels and plays during a 40-year literary career that began in the early 1830s. “There were no novels, so I had to write one,” said Berg, who spoke at the Nov. 5 meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society, kicking off the group’s 2015-2016 season. The result of her efforts is “The Dream Lover,” a novelized, first-person account of Sand’s life, published in 2015 by Random House. Berg steeped herself in knowledge about the period of her novel, which is set in Paris, at Sand’s inherited country estate, Nohant, and in Italy. She read biographies, many of Sand’s novels, as well as books on the history and fashions of the times. She also read letters between Sand and some of her famous friends, such as Gustave Flaubert, author of “Madame Bovary.” Most of the story is true to life, said Berg, although she did imagine some key scenes and also invented both dialogue

Sleep,” and “Durable Goods.” The book details Sand’s childhood, and the critical decision she made at age 27 to leave an unhappy marriage and move to Paris, where she launched her literary career. “We rolled slowly through the gates of the estate, and then the driver turned the carriage onto the main road, which made a clicking sound, and the horses began a rapid trot. When we passed the cemetery that lay directly to our right, I looked over the graves of my father and my grandmother. I thought about the ways in which one is shaped, starting from birth and even before, into the person one becomes. One cannot stand isolated from those who came before him, and fate decrees that there are many other things over which one has no control. Yet if one has courage and resolve, there are ways to make changes in one’s life,” Sand muses as she departs from Nohant, in an excerpt from “The Dream Lover.” Sand takes a job reviewing plays for a literary magazine, and is told by her editor that she must buy her own tickets for the performances. The editor said women were allowed to sit only in expensive box seats, but men could stand or sit in cheaper parts of the theater, and that if she dressed in men’s clothing she could save money. Later, Sand embraced her male persona, enjoying what she SEE LITERARY SOCIETY, B14

Think Big! Large-scale art works at MCASD downtown BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT
La Jolla Cultural Partners
The Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) will present at its downtown location, three large-scale installations by Robert Irwin, Ernesto Neto and Judith Barry, Nov. 19-Feb. 21. All three are part of the Museum’s permanent collection, which includes more than 4,600 works from 1950 to the present. Each room-size installation has a character all its own. Irwin’s “Light and Space” is an elegant arrangement of fluorescent light-tubes that creates a hypnotic, space-transforming experience for viewers. This is a fairly recent work by the now 87-year-old Irwin, who has created transformative indoor and outdoor installations for many venues, including, locally, MCASD-La Jolla and the Stuart Collection at UCSD. Irwin is one of seven long-lived and still active artists TIMEmagazine profiled in 2013 as “Legends
at Work,” and this piece demonstrates his continuing exploration of the aesthetics of the 1960s Light and Space Movement he helped to define. Neto’s “Mother body emotional densities, for alive temple time baby son,” is a hanging garden of elongated, translucent Lycra sacs filled with aromatic spices that creates another sort of engaging experience for viewers. The Brazilian artist has exhibited in New York, London and Paris, where he was awarded the title of Chevalier de L’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres for his contribution to the enrichment of French culture. MCASD commissioned Neto’s site-specific piece for the opening of its downtown location in 2007, and this is the first time it has been shown since then. Barry’s “Voice Off” is a two-channel video and sound installation that has two separate narratives unfolding simultaneously on a double-sided screen. One shows a woman
interacting with dreamlike voices, the other a man haunted by voices he cannot identify. Barry, whose background includes architecture, performance art, and computer graphics, is a New York-based artist who went from designing corporate party spaces to creating music videos, video projects for stores, magazine kiosks and London tube stations, and innovative video installations in venues around the world. A survey of her work will travel through the U.K. in 2016, and she gave the annual Russell Lecture at MCASD-La Jolla on Nov. 18. “All three of these installations are environmental, enveloping viewers in different ways,” said Jill Dawsey, the museum’s associate curator. “The Irwin is all about light and space, the Neto is about scent and space, and the Barry is about sound, image and space, and how the voice can be visualized. We’re especially proud of the Barry piece, since we’ve

Community Event Briefs Three must-see shows coming to North Coast Rep in December
Solana Beach, North Coast Repertory has three different shows running in December. As David Ellenstein, the Artistic Director states, we have “something for everyone at North Coast Rep: Nostalgia, Comedy and the music of Joni Mitchell.” Played from beginning to end, in the original keys, Merideth Kaye Clark performs Joni Mitchell’s album BLUE, one of the most iconic albums of all time at North Coast Repertory Theatre one night only on Dec. 7 at 7:30 p.m. Merideth Kaye Clark is an artist, traveler, musician, songwriter, singer, and actress. More than 32 colorful folks from Bedford Falls will be on stage at North Coast Repertory Theatre this holiday season from dissatisfied George Bailey to bumbling Angel Clarence, from patient Mary to greedy Henry Potter – and they’ll all be played by one brilliant actor, James Leaming. The intimate Solana Beach theatre is presenting the return engagement of “This Wonderful Life,” a captivating one-man stage adaptation by Steve Murray of the beloved holiday classic It’s a Wonderful Life. Leaming leaves audiences cheering with his amazing display of physical and verbal virtuosity. “This Wonderful Life” performances begin Tuesday, Dec. 8. It will play Tuesday through Sunday at 7 p.m., Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2 p.m., through Dec. 27. Coming to the North Coast Rep, Dec. 13, 14 and 15 at 7:30 p.m., “Sister’s Christmas Catechism: The Mystery of the Magi’s Gold” is making its way to Solana Beach. It’s “CSI: Bethlehem” in this holiday mystery extravaganza, from the author of Late Nite Catechism, as Sister takes on the mystery that has intrigued historians throughout the ages - whatever happened to the Magi’s gold? Retelling the story of the nativity, as only Sister can, this hilarious holiday production is bound to become a yearly classic. Call 858-481-1055 or visit www.northcoastrep.org to purchase tickets.

Woman discovers relative was ‘Butcher of Plaszow’ BY DIANA SAENGER Many of us think we know who we are, but every once in a while a surprise reveals we don’t know everything about our past. That’s what happened to Jennifer Teege when she discovered her grandfather was Amon Goeth, the real-life Nazi “Butcher of the Płaszów” concentration camp, portrayed in “Schindler’s List.” Teege spoke about her extraordinary experience Nov. 15 as a guest of the 21st annual San Diego Jewish Book Fair at the Jewish Community Center. Teege was born in Germany to a German mother and Nigerian father. Her mother left her abusive father and placed the 4-week-old Jennifer in an orphanage. Her mother and grandmother made only occasional visits to see her. “When I was 3, I went to live with a foster family who adopted me when I was 7 years old,” Teege said. “I wasn’t sad. I felt lucky and happy that I got a foster family. It was better than being in the orphanage, and it was a loving family with two adopted brothers.” Growing up in a happy home, Teege was able to make her own pathway. She lived in Israel for four years and became fluent in Hebrew. She earned a degree from Tel Aviv University in Middle Eastern and African studies. Later, she took a job in advertising. At age 38, and married with two children, Teege made a trip to the library and picked up a book at random. After scanning through it, she was hit by a thunderbolt — the realization that her grandfather was

Jennifer Teege, left, spoke at the San Diego Jewish Book Fair. Her grandfather, right, was Amon Goeth, commandant of the Plaszow concentration camp. Amon Goeth, the infamous Nazi commandant of Płaszów concentration camp, and that her kind grandmother lived with him at the camp as well. “To discover this important piece of my identity was shocking by itself, but then learning the details I only understood after reading the book, made it even worse. I had no knowledge about this story from my family.” She said it took some time before she broke the news to her husband and sons. “I
was trying to cope with it myself, which took months and years,” she said. “I was getting help from a therapist, and it wasn’t something I shared with my kids, as they were only in preschool. But later in life I thought it was important to tell them, because a family secret can become toxic due to guilt or shame. I believe it was better to lift these secrets so they could process it.” After time, Teege co-partnered with journalist Nikola Sellmair to write her memoir, “My Grandfather Would Have Shot
Me; A Black Woman Discovers Her Family’s Nazi Past.” “It wasn’t something I decided immediately; it was a process,” she said. “It’s an individual story, but with so many universal aspects that I thought it was worthwhile to share. I understood when I was in Israel that the story was bigger than myself. I hope people can understand why it’s important to see the difference between my biological grandfather and my character inside.” For now, Teege intends on continuing her speaking tours, many of which attract concentration camp survivors. She said she finds the encounters are beneficial to her and those in attendance. “This summer I was in New York, and a woman over age 90 was there, a survivor,” Teege said. “We had a conversation, and she gave me a book she wrote about her life after the war. She came to Sweden, and later to the States, and despite all the past, has been able to have a full life. She’s learning ballroom dancing at 90. She hugged me and told me that my book gives her some closure. “I met another survivor when I spoke in Israel. His daughter told me he was the son of the shoemaker who made my grandfather’s shoes. He shared all kinds of details with me about his experiences, and his family said he’d never done that before, and that I was his best birthday present. … These are only a few examples of how this book touches others and they touch me.”

SciFri at Del Mar Heights
Del Mar Heights School held another successful SciFri event. SciFri is one of the most loved programs at the school, typically drawing 80-100 students, plus parents. SciFri was designed by the PTA many years ago to help spark students’ passion for science and to give them access to local science experts. The most recent event, Connect the Neurons, was presented by Dr. Marina Gumanovskaya. Students learned about the nuts and bolts of how the brain works, experienced how the brain actually feels (using a fun concoction of juice and gelatin), built their own pipe-cleaner neurons, learned how emotions are connected to the brain and tricks for memory improvement that will help in the classroom. If you’re interested in learning more about the SciFri program, go to http://www.delmarheightspta.com/scifri.html.

3-Day walkers stride into pink celebration in Del Mar
Local residents welcomed Susan G. Komen 3-Day walkers to Del Mar Nov. 20 with a festive, fun and very pink atmosphere. Village businesses decorated their storefronts and residents lined the sidealks to cheer, clap and dispsense high fives. Torrey Pines High cheerleaders waved pink pom poms and Del Mar firefighters also came out to support the walkers in their efforts to raise funds and awareness for breast cancer. The cheering station brought lots of smiles to walkers’ faces as they set off on their three-day, 60-mile journey. Photos by Karen Billing. For photos online, visit www.delmartimes.net.

pet of the week Fantasia, , a 4-year-old American Staffordshire Terrier, is a looking for a new best friend. This lady is sweet and friendly with everyone she meets, and is such a joy to be around, according to her caregivers. Fantasia was adopted very quickly after entering the shelter, but unfortunately was returned due to breed restrictions in the family’s home. They were sad to give her up, and said she was perfectly behaved while in their care. She would love to go on fun outdoor adventures with her new family, but would also be just as happy snuggling in for a nap too. Fantasia is such a good girl and will make her new family very happy. Fantasia is available for adoption at the san Diego Humane society’s Oceanside Campus at 2905 san Luis Rey Road. To learn more about making her part of your family, please call (760) 757-4357.

Hannah Politzer joins the Del Mar Office of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices Hannah Politzer, the most recent agent to join the Del Mar office and the TEAMadvantage of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, has mastered two key elements to success in real estate: active listening and follow-through. “Matching a client to their perfect dream home or marketing someone’s treasured property requires the ability to truly listen and respond,” said Politzer, who has been in real estate for five years and found a niche working with first-time home buyers, young families, and growing families. Hannah is not new to the Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices family or theTEAMadvantage. She
joined the team in 2010 and worked with them for two years in Del Mar until she took an opportunity to work in the E-Commerce Division and Relocation Department at Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties’ corporate offices in 2012. “When the opportunity presented itself, I knew I wanted to take it,” Politzer said. “I was able to be a part of the inception of our company as we transitioned to Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties. It was a very unique and beneficial experience.” “Hannah brings a fresh perspective to our office, her team, and especially her clients,” Branch Manager Liz Piccolomini said. “You can
tell that she truly enjoys seeking out the perfect neighborhood with the perfect amenities and school districts. She even factors in commute requirements when searching for the ideal home and community.” In addition to having a knack for finding great homes that fit the requirements of her buyers, Politzer has an innate sense of style and organization, which is ideal for sellers. Her strengths allow her to highlight the valuable qualities of any home for sale. A new resident of 4S Ranch, Politzer enjoys hiking, cooking, and interior and architectural design. When not seeking out new developments and new homes on the market, she

FROM LITERARY SOCIETY, B1 perceived as more respectful treatment. In the novel, Berg addresses the feminist issues confronted by her chief protagonist, who chafed at the laws and customs of the day that were discriminatory against women. For example, although Sand inherited her grandmother’s estate, her estranged husband retained fiscal control of the property even after the couple’s separation. Also, a man could divorce a woman for infidelity, while a woman had no such legal right. “She prized the ideal of marriage and family life, but she didn’t see the ideal playing out, she saw a lot of inequities
playing out,” Berg said. “She was a product of the age of Romanticism. She was in love with being in love.” The novel chronicles Sand’s romances and friendships with many prominent male and female artistic figures, from writers such as Balzac and Alfred de Musset, to the pianist and composer Frederic Chopin, to the famous actress Marie Dorval. Through her reading, Berg believes that Dorval was the great love of Sand’s life. But the two never established a permanent relationship, and Dorval died, broke and nearly forgotten, at 51. Sand died at age 71 at Nohant, in 1876.

The Web of Reality: Spider Veins in Young Women Do you work out frequently? Do you have sudden pain or tightness or swelling in your legs? Do you look at the blue patches of veins on your legs and think, “But aren’t I too young for spider veins?” Think again. The truth is that women in their 30s can get spider or varicose veins. Women in their 20s can get them. And even teens and—occasionally—children can get them. Think of spider veins—known by
phlebologist as tel phlebologists telangiectasias—as gi tasi the th niece of varicose veins. Varicose veins are the more dilated and rope-like veins under the skin, which are generally more painful, while spider veins result from the enlargement of the tiny subcutaneous veins, which are usually painless. Veins that deliver blood to the leg can get blocked for a variety of reasons—oneway valves can stop working, causing the other more visible veins to dilate, taking on extra blood. Women who work out frequently or stand for long periods of time are very likely to get some spider veins. Really, anything that increases stress in your vascular system puts extra pressure in your veins, causing them to bulge. Of course, if you experience a very sudden change to your veins, you do want to rule out deep vein thrombosis, especially if you experience leg pain or swelling. However, this tends to be less likely in active people. They can be

uncomfortable mf tabl and d unsightly, sightl but spider pide veins pose no threats to your health (even if they occur on places such as the face), and you certainly should not stop your normal fitness routine if a few spider veins appear. But you can never go wrong with getting a suspicious vein checked out to be completely safe. There are a few rare genetic conditions that may cause patches of veins to form on your torso and arms, and you will definitely want to get those checked to rule out a more serious condition. For active young women, the occurrence of spider veins is not something that can be completely prevented. Diet and sun exposure can play a role, and pregnancy greatly increases the likelihood of getting them. But the unfortunate truth is that some women are just genetically predisposed to get them. While it isn’t urgent to remove spider veins through laser therapy, many women, especially
d younger ones, optt fo for this easy and painless treatment, especially since spider veins can worsen over time. The good news is that laser treatment is relatively painless and quite easy, requiring minimal recovery. You can have them removed in 5-30 minutes—a quick lunch break—and be back to work directly after. For many people, this is far more convenient that wearing support stockings regularly. The other nice factor to laser therapy is that there isn’t a “right age” to wait to get treatment, which is even safe for children, though they may be more sensitive to the pain. If you’re tired of your spider or varicose veins and are ready for treatment or just want some more information on laser treatment or sclerotherapy, contact us at 760-944-9263 or visit our website at www.sdveininstitute.com.
