San Diego County Sheriff’s Dept. begins using drones BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Following a deputy-involved shooting earlier this month in Rancho Santa Fe, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Dept. used aerial drone footage to document the scene and capture overhead images to be used as evidence. Modern-day footage from these unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs, can be paramount in such investigations, said Sheriff’s Department Lt. Jason Vickery. “If it comes down for a jury to look at and see the crime scene in this resolution, it gives a good picture to the person who wasn’t there to what it looked like and how things transpired at that event,” Vickery said. The department, which covers 4,200-square-miles of county land, including the cities of Encinitas, Solana Beach, Del Mar and the community of Rancho Santa Fe, began implementing the drone program in October after receiving permission from the Federal Aviation Administration in September and researching other law enforcement agencies throughout the country that used the technology. Although the Sheriff’s Department did not seek approval from city councils or residents regarding the drones, Vickery said the department worked with several community advisory groups, SEE DRONES, A18

BY KAREN BILLING One Paseo Saga: The Final Chapter In January, the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board was split 5-5 on whether or not to approve the new vision for One Paseo. “Having the benefit of working with a core focus group and community-wide workshops, Kilroy Realty strived to redesign
the project to be more compatible and acceptable to the community,” said Chair Frisco White, encouraging a motion for approval. “Nevertheless One Paseo to some will never be accepted or desired, but we must understand that a development of some sort will be constructed on the site and that we must, at times, reach a decision that will be beneficial.” Board members Anne Harvey, Jon Tedesco, Steve Davison, Debbie Lokanc and Chris SEE REVIEW, A16
Del Mar mayor, council have full plate in 2017
Terry Sinnott
BY JOE TASH Del Mar’s new mayor, Terry Sinnott, and his colleagues on the City Council face a busy, challenging year in 2017. Among the items
on their plate: overseeing the construction of a new, $17 million City Hall; implementing Measure Q, a one-cent sales tax increase approved by voters in November that will generate $2 million a year for infrastructure improvements; and deciding whether the city should start its own police
department, ending its contract with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. The council will also grapple with the contentious issues of whether to continue to allow property owners to rent their homes to vacationers on a short-term basis, and how to meet a state mandate to provide 27
units of affordable housing in the small, seaside enclave, where property values are among the highest in San Diego County. Sinnott, a retired business executive who has served on the council since 2010, was named to the mayor’s post for a one-year term SEE COUNCIL, A18

Tree recycling offered in Del Mar
Waste Management will collect Del Mar residents’ trees during the first two weeks following Christmas if the tree is placed on the curb on the regular collection day. Please cut trees in half if they are taller than six feet and remove all decorations, including
tinsel, lights, ornaments and tree stands. Del Mar residents may also drop off their trees at the special bin that will be placed at the Public Works Yard (2240 Jimmy Durante Blvd.) on Dec. 26, 2016, and removed on Jan. 30, 2017. — City of Del Mar
Tree recycling available in Carmel Valley The city and county of San Diego kicked off its 43rd annual Christmas tree recycling program Dec. 26. The program establishes drop-off sites around the city for residents who don’t have curbside refuse pickup service. According to the city’s Environmental Services Department, people who drop off their trees should make sure they don’t contain ornaments, lights or stands. No plastic bags, trash or trees used for commercial or fundraising purposes are allowed. The program diverted around 1,100 tons of holiday trees from the Miramar Landfill last year, the equivalent of more than 140,000 individual Christmas trees. Carmel Valley residents can recycle their Christmas trees at Carmel Valley Recreation Center (lower parking lot), 3777 Townsgate Drive, 92130. — City News Service
San Diego County residents, deputies donate $15,000 to families in need Three San Diego County residents teamed up with sheriff’s department deputies to surprise dozens of families across the county Saturday with $15,000 in cash and gift cards. The three residents, who wished to remain anonymous, handed out between $200 to $500 in cash and gift cards to families in need in North County (Encinitas, Solana
Beach, San Marcos and Vista) and East County, according to a news release. Patrol deputies and those working as school resource deputies identified the families as in need if they were struggling to pay rent, coping with job loss, homeless or low-income single mothers. — Submitted press release

The Sage Canyon Safety Patrol.
Sage Canyon student named Safety Patrol Colonel BY KAREN BILLING Out of 2,000 kids in the San Diego Police Department’s Student Safety Patrol, only one can be Colonel. This year, that highest ranking honor went to Sage Canyon sixth grader Shelby Sparks. Shelby, 12, was named Colonel at a special ceremony on Dec. 17 after showing extraordinary traits of dedication, respect of the student body, demonstrating responsibility and reliability, being in the top third of her class academically, and being above average in citizenship. Shelby was also judged on the merits of a written essay and in a rigorous interview with a panel of two police officers and two civilians. Shelby joined Sage Canyon’s Safety Patrol at the end of fourth grade — applicants must write an essay and are trained to begin serving as fifth graders. “I really like volunteering and helping out the community and I thought it would be a good opportunity to help out with the crosswalks and to keep people safe,” Shelby said. Shelby serves on the patrol one day a week and her day is Thursday. It’s a commitment to get to school a half hour early to help with morning drop-off and leave class early at the end of the day to help keep pick-ups safe. She is so dedicated to her post that she even worked with two casts on her legs this year because she had promised to fill in for a fellow Safety Patrol’s shift. The patrol has inspection every month with Officer Brookes Rhodes from the Northwestern Division — he promotes members who have earned enough merits to move up in rank and makes sure all of the patrol is in uniform and following safety procedures. Shelby said the most challenging thing about her patrol is making sure all of the parents are paying attention — she said sometimes they don’t want to come to a complete stop in their cars. According to Officer Rhodes, Sage Canyon is one of the more difficult patrol posts in the city due to its crossing configuration.
“Debbie did an expert job. The website, photos, and video positioned our home effectively and those combined with smart marketing resulted in showings from serious buyers.

Shelby Sparks with Officer Brookes Rhodes. Despite it being one of the hardest patrols, there haven’t been any accidents — in fact, there have been no accidents at any San Diego school with a patrol this year. For the process of achieving Colonel, Shelby beat out 15 other kids who were up for the position and she didn’t find out until that Dec. 17 ceremony. “It was the most exciting thing ever,” said mom Amy, who cheered proudly for her daughter. “I was surprised,” said Shelby, who sat in her seat for a moment not totally believing that she’d won. When she reached the stage, San Diego Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman honored her with her eagle pin that she will wear on her Safety Patrol hat. Zimmerman said that she had done Safety Patrol in her youth, which served as an inspiration for all of the young patrol kids. “I really like Safety Patrol but I wouldn’t want to be a police officer because it’s scary and hard,” Shelby said, noting that she was able to do a ride-along with Officer Rhodes where she learned about all the job entails and the sacrifices police officers make. To be Colonel involves a few extra responsibilities and Shelby is ready to get started on her last months of service this school year before starting middle school.

Rancho Santa Fe designer creates popular clothing line BY STACEY PHILLIPS ith a deep love of fashion and a keen eye for design, Alka Tolani began designing silk scarves as a hobby while her two children were in high school about 12 years ago. The Rancho Santa Fe resident was very active in fundraising and was part of the Rancho Santa Fe Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary. Enthusiastic about helping the community, Alka brought her first designs to a charity event for Rady Children’s Hospital. She said the scarves were very well received and greatly helped the charity. She continued to work with several more charities, combining her passion for the community and love for designing. Several friends encouraged her to consider selling her unique pieces to the wholesale California market. She agreed and began making scarves for Kitson, a high-end retailer in Los Angeles that now only sells its products online. “At that time, Kitson was the place to be for celebrities,” said Alka. “When Jessica Alba wore one of the products at a Los Angeles Lakers basketball game in 2008, our phones wouldn’t stop ringing. That set the platform for the Tolani brand.” The photograph was included in several fashion publications and brought national and international
W
recognition to the brand. Boutique buyers began reaching out to Alka for her designs and she said that it inspired her to establish her own company, Tolani Collection, after her family name. Her part-time hobby soon became a full-time business. She and her husband, Raj, a scientist with a background in engineering, own and manage the company. Their daughter, Aishya, is the brand manager. Tolani now offers an accessory and clothing line that incorporates modernity and tradition. Inspired by global cultures, Alka said that native design elements are incorporated into the contemporary ready-to-wear clothing line and each of the eye-catching prints is one-of-a-kind. More than 50 celebrities have been seen wearing Tolani clothing, including Kim Kardashian, Halle Berry, Nicky Hilton, Nicole Richie, Hilary Duff, Selena Gomez and many others. The products are sold under three different brands and include blouses, pants, skirts and dresses, as well as accessories such as kimonos, capes and scarves. Tolani clothing is made of silk and sold in high-end department stores such as Neiman Marcus, Anthropologie, Revolve, Zappos and specialty stores all over the world. It is also being sold to

Her daughter Aishya, a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley and Parson’s School of Design in New York, orchestrates the photoshoots for the Tolani brand. “It’s a big production for us,” said Alka. “We have our makeup artists,

Alka and Raj also opened a warehouse in North San Diego County, which includes a design studio. The company is currently creating a new brand that focuses on velvets as well as embroideries on tencel, an environmentally-friendly fabric that Alka said feels soft like denim and hangs like silk. It is scheduled to be introduced in the next few months. “Passion is so critical when you create something,” said Alka. “There is no limit to growth if you are dedicated and if you are hard-working and if you have a vision. That’s what you need to have — a vision. The sky is the limit. You have to be thinking beyond your box.” For more information about Tolani, visit www.tolanicollection.com.

‘Team Better’ app motivates women to take care of themselves and their health
BY STACEY PHILLIPS Many women today say they are busier than ever juggling their personal and professional lives. Whether they are spending time raising the kids, working at a demanding job or managing the household, they often don’t take the time to care for themselves and their health. Two years ago, Norm Hamson and Grant Ingersoll, both natives of North County San Diego, set out to make a difference in health and wellness for women. The result was the creation of a free app they named “Team Better,” which was launched this past summer for the iPhone and Android. “So many of us get caught up in our routines, we forget to take time to focus on ourselves and our health,” said Jen Kim, a Rancho Santa Fe resident and Registered Dietitian Nutritionist (RDN) who writes food and nutrition blogs for the app. “The app reminds us to take at least a few minutes each day to focus on our health and take care of ourselves.” She said the app provides an abundance of health information from experts that are backed by science. “The app also provides a great social support system which can really help you stay motivated,” said Kim. Each day, app users receive a wellness challenge such as drinking a cup of water before every meal, flossing your teeth or doing 10 pushups. Users earn tickets for every challenge completed and prizes are given out, such as a gift certificate from Amazon, Target or Whole Foods. Kim said the challenges are designed for everyone and don’t require any drastic changes. “These are simple little changes that you can do every day that can make you healthier,” said Kim. “It’s nothing really complicated or advanced.” “What we’re doing is changing everybody in this little way and you’ll see them start making this difference,” said Hamson, a Rancho Santa Fe resident and CEO of Team Better who formerly worked at

He and Ingersoll, who has a finance background and is chairman of the company living in San Clemente, were originally working on a business proposal that involved mammogram utilization. “It’s the most popular of the cancers but still the number two killer of women; one in eight women will get it sometime in their lifetime,” said Hamson. “The outcomes are very survivable if you detect it early, but over 50 percent of women still don’t get their mammograms.” Hamson said the childhood friends soon realized, “There is this huge opportunity to save lives and change the world for the better here but how do we do that?” They asked Jacinta Jimenez, a behavioral clinical psychologist and graduate of Stanford, if she could recommend how to encourage others to do things they know they should do, but still don’t for a variety of reasons. Hamson said that Jimenez told them, “If you are the kind of person who is used
to saying ‘yes’ to wellness, then when presented with an opportunity to make a healthy choice, you’re more likely to say ‘yes’ to that choice.” After talking to Jimenez, the entrepreneurs decided that rather than build a mammogram app, they would focus on overall wellness for women. “Ninety-nine percent of the things that you do to prevent dying from breast cancer are the same things you do to prevent obesity, anxiety, cardiac illnesses and the top 10 killers of everybody,” said Hamson. In October 2015, they teamed up with technology experts from Intuit to create a web interface that was user-friendly and incorporated positive, happy messages. Then they invited 50 women to test out their idea. Every morning the women were sent a text with a very simple health challenge. On the ninth day of testing, they challenged the group of women to get a mammogram. Hamson said that over 80 percent of the SEE TEAM BETTER, A18

Avila Colanter (front, right), her sister Monnica and brother Augustine with the gifts for donation to Ronald McDonald House.
Local youngster spreads holiday cheer with her Christmas Pony BY CHRIS SAUR For Avila Colanter, it wasn’t enough to just bring a donation of gifts to the Ronald McDonald House (RMH) in San Diego. Wanting to make it extra special for the kids at the RMH’s on-site school, the 10-year-old Carlsbad resident who attends Phoenix Learning Center in Encinitas, brought the donations along with a mini horse dressed up for Christmas. “Avila just loves horses and she had this idea a couple of years ago,” proud mom Brit Colanter told the Encinitas Advocate. On Dec. 8, after a lot of coordination from Brit and Avila, the idea became a reality. The mother and daughter were joined by Avila’s siblings — 7-year-old Monnica and 4year-old Augustine — a cousin and her grandparents (dad Eddie, unfortunately, had to work) as they brought gift baskets to the 5-10 kids staying at the RMH on-site school with the help of Beanie Baby the mini pony, who the children got a chance to play with. Avila and her family also brought a bunch of unwrapped gifts to donate to RMH’s Santa’s Workshop, a program that allows parents from underprivileged families to pick out presents for their kids this holiday season. While the kids at the on-site school were thrilled to play with Beanie Baby, and Avila and her family enjoyed seeing the joy in their faces, the children also appreciated the gift baskets, which included the children’s book “Jasper and the Big Race.” That book was written and illustrated by Avila when she was just 7 years old, and is available on Amazon. It was around the time she finished the book that Avila hatched the idea for the Christmas Pony donation event. Then this year, Brit Colanter was able to help her daughter make it happen. “We’ve done Operation Christmas Drop (a charity affiliated with the military) for kids overseas and she loves doing that and then she just thought it would be awesome to do something like that with a horse dressed up for Christmas,” Colanter said. “She was really insistent that this would happen so I finally said, ‘OK, I’ll try to make some calls, not knowing how it was going to all come together.’ ” It all started to come together when a

Shapery, who brings mini horses and other animals to the VA hospital and to work with autistic kids, was happy to provide the horse for Avila’s project. Then, Colanter connected with the Ronald MacDonald House and officials there invited Avila and Beanie Baby to the RMH on-site school. While that was all being organized, the family was also spending October and November collecting gifts and monetary donations from friends and relatives, people from their church and the families of Avila’s classmates in teacher Ashley Pirrello’s fourth-grade class. “It was amazing to see everyone’s generosity, and just see the community get behind this (project), even people I didn’t know,” said Colanter, whose family recently moved to Carlsbad from Encinitas. Another fun thing for Colanter and her kids was taking the donated money and going shopping for toys for the RMH kids. Mom says Avila is already excited about organizing a Christmas Pony donation next year, and they are looking at potentially finding additional locations to bring their holiday cheer.

CVMS teen makes the holidays brighter for Baja California youth
This holiday marks the sixth year that Danny Limas An, of Carmel Valley, has trekked the miles to distant colonias (communities) in Baja California donating sports gear to those less fortunate. He began the tradition with his mother and sister when he was 5 years old and they would drive down to Tijuana, Rosarito and Ensenada to donate bags of clothes and toys. When he turned 8, he realized the young boys and girls could use some of his sports gear sitting in the garage. An eighth grader at Carmel Valley Middle School, he has played an array of sports from baseball and basketball to lacrosse and tennis. Most of the gear donated consists of

Making a difference in the community The Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito teamed up with Santa Fe Christian girls basketball for a second annual holiday food drive. This year, the director of the Boys & Girls Clubs’ La Colonia branch, Gloria Castellanos, recognized 80 families who would benefit and truly appreciate support during the holidays. As the need spread into the community, the Del Sol Lions stepped up to help right away. David Cain and Jan Shields, from Del Sol Lions, generously purchased groceries through the San Diego Food Bank, which helped to maximize the money that was donated and greatly
increase the amount of groceries. Local dentist, Dr. Dale Trudeau, of Del Mar Family Dentistry, had a collection bin in his office and many of his patients and staff contributed money, food items and gift cards. Thanks to the combined efforts of the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito, Del Mar Family Dentistry, Del Sol Lions, Santa Fe Christian girls basketball families, employees from Stoel Rives and the local Vons, 80 families in need in Solana Beach were overwhelmed with joy as they picked up holiday groceries from the Boys & Girls Club.

Runner with MS to run 7 marathons on 7 continents
CHRIS SAUR
SHONN GOODWIN
Cheryl Hile, who has MS, trains for her next marathon, which will be part of her goal of running seven marathons on seven continents in the span of one year. BY CHRIS SAUR ome of the most inspiring stories anyone’s ever heard are a daily occurrence in the life of Encinitas orthotist Ara Mirzaian. Out of his local Hanger Clinic office, Mirzaian has fitted orthotics on patients who have gone on to win medals in the Paralympics — in the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro he had a cyclist and a kayaker — and for nearly a decade he has worked with a San Diego runner named Cheryl Hile, who suffers from Multiple Sclerosis. Hile, 42, who was diagnosed in 2006, uses a brace to combat drop foot and has run more than 30 marathons since her diagnosis. She’s currently in the midst of an amazing journey on which she plans to complete seven marathons on seven continents in one year. Not surprisingly, when she completes the feat, Hile will be the first person ever to do it with MS. “I’m very goal-oriented,” Hile said in an interview from Mirzaian’s office. “That’s why I run so many races, it helps me
S
navigate my MS because they are like these little mini goals that I can strive for. “But I couldn’t do any of this without Ara’s help, without this brace. It was a real game-changer for me. I kept tripping and falling and I was getting depressed.” Hile met Mirzaian about a year after her diagnosis and he fitted her with the best ankle foot orthotic (AFO) available at the time, which was merely a spring that picked her right foot back up for her, but used up energy. She ran one marathon in that, but fortunately soon after came the first model of a Carbon Graphite AFO called The Noodle, which was able to store and return energy. Mirzaian met the creator of The Noodle and got Hile one of the first ones ever made. “It was straight out of the oven,” said Mirzaian, who then shaped it specifically for Hile. “With this type of design, she is able to use less energy and complete marathons. I just make her braces and she does all of the hard work.”
Penguin Plunge to be held in Del Mar Jan. 1
Dive into the New Year during Del Mar’s annual Penguin Plunge on Jan. 1. Del Mar lifeguards and community members will celebrate 2017 with a dip in the Pacific Ocean during the popular event, which kicks off at 11 a.m. at the Del Mar Lifeguard Tower on 17th Street in Del Mar. The event is free and if you run out into the water, you get free hot drinks, donuts and a certificate. The event draws up to 1,000 people so come early and bring warm clothes. For more information, visit www.delmarlifeguard.com/current.htm.
Cheryl Hile, right, holds the orthotic that Encinitas orthotist Ara Mirzaian, left, has fitted for her to combat the drop foot symptom of her MS when she runs marathons. The San Diego woman is in the middle of attempting to become the first person with MS to run seven marathons on seven continents in one year.
Hile had been running marathons since 2000, but in 2006 she started getting symptoms that doctors initially misdiagnosed as sports injuries like nerve damage. But after a few months of that, an MRI showed what Hile was truly dealing with. And she met the challenge head on. “Having a neurologist tell me to lower my expectations for running, I just got mad and wanted to prove her wrong,” Hile explained. She battles the drop foot, with the help of Mirzaian, and another symptom where the entire right side of her body goes numb when her body heat from running exacerbates her MS. To combat this problem, Hile’s husband Brian runs alongside her in every marathon, making sure she doesn’t drift to her right. “He’s also there to protect the other runners so I don’t bump into them. (In terms of running with the numbness), I guess I’ve just been running for so long my body knows what to do, I just can’t feel it,” Hile said.
WEEK IN SPORTS Boys basketball:
■ Torrey Pines defeated Grossmont, 66-47, in a Grossmont tournament game on Dec. 23. Bryce Pope and Ethan Esposito each scored 12 points to lead TPHS. Chad Piper and Michael Pope each had 11 points, and Jacob Gilliam added 10. The victory followed a 69-66 loss to La Jolla three days earlier, in which Esposito scored 16 points and Jacob Gilliam and Finn Sullivan each scored 15 points. Pope added 13 points. The Falcons improved to 8-2 overall for the season.
In working toward this year’s goal, the pair has completed two marathons so far, in South Africa (in September) and Buenos Aires (October), and, at the time of the interview for this story, was scheduled to run the Honolulu Marathon on Dec. 11. The seven-continent goal means Hile will actually run a marathon in Antarctica in January, then hit Tokyo in February, Vienna, Austria in April and Christchurch, New Zealand in June. For the Antarctica event, the group of runners participating in the marathon will fly to Chile and there is a five-day window during which the race director will monitor the weather and choose exactly when it is suitable for the race. Suitable in this case means up to 20 or 30 degrees. The group will then fly to Antarctica, the director will mark out a route, and the athletes will run on a combination of mud and gravel and probably a little snow. Unlike the other runners, Hile will have to deal with her MS symptoms, which can SEE RUNNER, A19
■ Santa Fe Christian defeated Westview, 49-42, in a Grossmont tournament game on Dec. 23. Owen Aschieris scored 26 points to lead the Eagles. The victory followed a 78-50 Eagles victory over Escondido on Dec. 22, in which Aschieris scored 20 points and Matthew Stevenson scored 10 points. The Eagles improved to 7-2 overall for the season.
Girls water polo:
■ Cathedral Catholic defeated La Cañada, 8-7, in a nonleague game on Dec. 23. Lyndsey Hightower scored three goals to lead the Dons, Laura Larkin had two and Natalie Plumb, Madison Wayman and Natalie Tiu each scored one goal.

OUR READERS WRITE But can they fix the roads? Del Mar’s newly elected city council wasted no time in passing a resolution “affirming the city’s commitment to addressing climate change, and its unwillingness to participate in the registration of Muslims or the rounding up of undocumented immigrants (Del Mar Times, Dec. 22, 2016).” A recent survey of Del Mar’s residents showed that road maintenance was considered
the number one issue by respondents. As I look at the streets in front of my house, I see a pothole which is expanding with each new rain. I see a small pond which forms after every rain, which routinely gets addressed by the city by the placing of a “Flooded” sign and a few sand bags. Lawrence Summers, former Treasury Secretary and President of Harvard, wrote in May 2016 a short piece titled “Why Americans don’t trust government.” He bemoans the fact that the Anderson Bridge in Boston, built in
1912 in 11 months, is taking more than five years to repair, the costs running up and the traffic delays causing wasted hours in people’s lives. Summers realizes “faith in government’s ability to do big things depends on its success in executing on routine responsibilities.” So while the Del Mar City Council takes on the lofty goals of climate change and immigration policy, who is going to fix our roads?

New Year’s resolutions for the whole family in 2017 TO YOUR HEALTH
N
ow’s the time for thinking about New Year’s resolutions. Scripps pediatricians have some ideas on resolutions for the whole family. A recent informal survey of Scripps pediatricians across San Diego County revealed a half dozen key issues that were frequently raised by parents about their children’s well-being in 2016. Read more about those issues, and resolve to address them in 2017 using the advice outlined below. Screen time The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) released updated guidelines on television and digital media use in children and teens in November 2016, noting that today’s children are spending an average of seven hours a day on screen media, such as television, computers and phones. While the AAP recommends specific guidelines for different age groups, they advocate that parents should act as media mentors no matter what the age of their children. Visit aap.org to view the recommendations (in the AAP Press Room, news release dated Oct. 21, 2016). “Parents need to act as teachers and guides for their children on how best to use media,” says Mackenzie Coffin, M.D., a pediatrician at Scripps Clinic, Carmel Valley. “Teach them, starting at a young age, how to navigate media, set expectations and boundaries, and make sure screen time doesn’t take the place of physical activity and social interaction in the real world.’ Weight and obesity According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and quadrupled in adolescents in the past 30 years, and in 2012 more than one-third of children ages 6 to 11 and adolescents ages 12 to 19 were overweight or obese. Obesity can cause a broad range of
health problems, such as asthma, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes and elevated blood cholesterol levels. In addition, children who are obese are more apt to experience a negative body image, depression and low self-esteem. “As parents and caregivers, you can help prevent your children from becoming obese,” says Dr. Coffin. “Encourage healthy eating habits by being a role model, cook healthy meals with your family, help your kids stay active and remove calorie-rich snacks and treats.” Other key health issues cited by Scripps pediatricians include: Teen anxiety and depression A study published in the December issue of Pediatrics found that major depression is on the rise in adolescents, particularly among girls. Looking at data from the National Surveys on Drug Use and Health from 2005 to 2014, researchers found that major depressive episodes increased in adolescents by 37 percent. Parents can help by: • Talking with your teen frequently •Offering support by letting your teen know you are there and willing to provide support •Confirming your teen’s feelings If you are concerned about depression or anxiety in your teen, talk with your pediatrician. Nutrition One of the most common worries that Scripps pediatricians heard from parents in 2016 was what to feed their children. The AAP encourages parents to think about their nutritional choices as health decisions. The AAP recommends taking a broad, whole-diet approach to nutrition, avoiding highly processed foods and using small amounts of sugar, salt, fats and oils to enhance the flavors of nutritious foods. Serve high-quality protein, such as lean meats, fish, nuts and eggs; vegetables; fruits; grains; and low-fat dairy. Most children and teens need to eat
every three to four hours throughout the day to meet current daily nutritional guidelines. Younger children need to eat three meals and at least two healthy snacks, while older kids need to eat three meals and at least one snack a day. Doctors recommend aiming for a structured, distraction-free eating schedule, with mid-morning and after-school snacks, and serving healthy items, such as fresh fruits and vegetables and low-fat Greek yogurt. Deferring Vaccines The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) official vaccination schedule, supported by the AAP, targets 14 serious diseases, including whooping cough, polio and meningitis, and is very specific to keeping children as safe as possible until they are fully protected. According to the AAP, there is no safe way to adjust the schedule and know that your child will be safe from potentially life-threatening infections. Delay may mean more shots in the long run. Talk with your pediatrician if you have questions about vaccines or feel strongly about delaying certain immunizations. There is some flexibility within the regular schedule while still following the recommendations. For instance, babies can get the third dose of hepatitis B vaccine any time between six and 18 months. Orthopedic injuries With more young children focusing on a single sport and playing all year, pediatricians are seeing more chronic overuse injuries. The AAP encourages a balanced approach to sports, especially before puberty. Growing bones are less resilient to stress. To give young children’s bodies time to recover, parents should plan at least one day off per week and at least one month off per year from training for one sport. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps Health.

FROM REVIEW, A1 Moore voted against the motion. “I don’t want to succumb to the pressure to do something just because it’s taken a long time to get to this point. We pushed back once and we got a reduced project,” Davison said. “Maybe we should push back again.” The board did vote unanimously to forward a letter to the city with 11 conditions for approval. Conditions included that the project not generate more than 14,000 average daily trips (ADTs), increase the affordable housing element to 20 percent, that Kilroy engage in serious dialogue for a public-private partnership to provide public transportation and that project mitigation requirements and community benefits are permit conditions. The project was supposed to go before the San Diego Planning Commission in April but instead went straight to San Diego City Council due to four of the seven planning commissioners having conflicts of interest. Council President Sherri Lightner fought to explore all possible avenues that the commission could still hear the project as she said it was “unprecedented” that a project as highly contentious as One Paseo would not go through the planning commission process, especially in absence of clear direction from the planning board. By June, after eight long years, numerous hearings filled with passionate opposition and a referendum effort that created a renewed developer focus on community outreach and scaled down plans, the One Paseo mixed-use project was approved in a 8-1 vote by San Diego City Council. Council members remarked that the feeling of this hearing was much different than what they saw in 2015, complimenting the compromises reached between developers and the community after they sent Kilroy Realty back to the drawing board to redesign. “Obviously a lot has happened since this was heard over a year ago and I applaud what has been done regarding outreach,” Council member Todd Gloria said. “I think what has come out of what was really an unfortunate circumstance is a model that really every developer in every community can use to engage all corners of the community.” Lightner remained the sole vote against the project. “The project is still more than twice the size and twice the number of ADTs (average daily trips) than the original entitlement and is the perfect example of spot zoning,” Lightner said. “Despite the strides made to mitigate the negative impacts One Paseo will have on the community, many significant un-mitigable impacts remain in the redesigned project. I still have concerns about the bulk and scale, about the lack of adequate on-site affordable housing, traffic, public safety, and the cumulative impacts it will have on the overall community character.” A groundbreaking will be held for One Paseo on Jan. 25, 2017 and the first retail and restaurant tenants are scheduled to open mid-to-late 2018. Also in development •A five-story, 127-room Hyatt Place Hotel is being proposed to replace Tio Leo’s Mexican Restaurant in Carmel Valley. Excel Hotel Group made an informational presentation to the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board in July. The project will also be adjacent to another hotel in the works. Plans are underway for a mixed-use development called Costa Azul, which includes a six-story 112-suite hotel, three new restaurants and 82,000 square feet
of office space. Developers Fred and Hunter Oliver also developed the neighboring Residence Inn. The new Hyatt Place Hotel will feature coastal contemporary architecture with a rooftop deck with views that will stretch out over the lagoon. •While still “bewildered” about how the city process worked to allow doubling the square footage allowed in the Pacific Highlands Ranch community plan, the CV planning board approved Aperture Del Mar in November, a five-building, 630,000-square-foot office complex off Carmel Valley Road near SR-56 intended to be the home of a corporate headquarters or campus for a big tech-focused or life-science company. Construction will not begin until a tenant is secured. •The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch held a grand opening celebration on Nov. 5 showcasing its many tenants. Many new places opened their doors in the Village, including Crudo, Westroot Tavern, Fresh Brothers Pizza, Fleet Feet and Moment Bicycles. In 2017, the Village will welcome Breakfast Republic and Wokou Noodles and Pours. Solana Beach School District to see school improvements In November, the Solana Beach School District passed a $105 million general obligation bond. Measure JJ will work to replace or upgrade outdated classrooms, science labs, libraries and school buildings; restore deteriorating roofs, plumbing and electrical systems; improve student safety and campus security; and provide students access to educational facilities, science and technology needed to prepare for high school, college and careers. The district is also looking ahead at building its eighth school — the district has set aside a 10-acre parcel east of Golden Cypress Place in Pacific Highlands Ranch. The district had targeted to begin planning for that school in 2021 but due to projected enrollment growth, they are now looking to move it up to 2019.The district will have to purchase the land to be able to move forward. Construction is set to begin in June 2017 on the complete remodel of Skyline School—students will attend Earl Warren’s interim campus until Skyline reopens in fall 2018. Solana Highlands will also be modernized over the summer of 2017, with most updates completed by fall 2018. San Dieguito Union High School District A superintendent’s departure, construction, raises, protests, its first ever charter petition, a fire at Oak Crest Middle School, lots of 3-2 board votes and an election that saw both incumbents re-elected—it was a busy year for San Dieguito Union High School District. The district continued its Prop AA progress by celebrating its newest and 10th school with a grand opening and dedication of Pacific Trails Middle School on Feb. 26. “Each and every Prop AA construction project to date has been on time and within budget. In less than three years, Prop AA has touched each and every campus,” then-Superintendent Rick Schmitt said. “When all of our Prop AA projects are completed, each school will be expanded to meet growing enrollment needs and will be modernized or finished.” Finishing a school, for example, means Torrey Pines High, which is 42 years old and is still without a theater— construction is set to begin on the long-awaited performing arts
center in 2017.Earl Warren Middle School will replace Pacific Trails as the district’s newest campus in fall 2017 when the complete renovation is finished. •In April, Superintendent Rick Schmitt announced he was leaving the district after accepting a post in the San Ramon Valley Unified District. The district hired the search firm of Leadership Associates in May although they have yet to find a replacement—Eric Dill, associate superintendent of business services has been serving as interim superintendent. •Teachers, parents and community members put on a small protest before the SDUHSD meeting on July 14, calling out trustees Mo Muir and John Salazar for voting against the budget for the next school year and votes on Prop AA projects. The protests continued throughout the summer and fall before board meetings—even candidates in the election took part. There were five candidates to fill the two seats up for election and incumbents Beth Hergesheimer and Joyce Dalessandro were re-elected. •After certificated employees received a 12.5 percent raise at the end of 2015, the school board followed suit and approved the same raises for non-represented employee groups in January and classified employees in February. The net effect of the salary increases represents $1 million increase in cost to the district. Trustees John Salazar and Mo Muir voted against all increases, expressing serious concerns about their affordability. “I believe we can afford this raise,” said board member Amy Herman, who would be selected the new board president in December. “By giving them this increased compensation we’re showing them that we value their commitment and expertise and we will hopefully ensure stability to our district by retaining them.” Then-Associate Superintendent Dill said that the district is in a “healthy and stable” position and is maintaining a healthy level of reserves, some of the highest in the district’s history. In December, the board approved an interim budget with a $9.7 million deficit, which was represented as a “worst case scenario”. Dill said the district expects to find savings throughout the year. As an example, the district had been projecting a $2.4 million deficit for the 2015-16 school year in spring of 2016 but ended with a $4 million surplus in the fall. Del Mar schools facilities needs In 2016, the Del Mar Union School District continued to grapple with how to meet its long-term facilities needs, including creating modern learning studios at all schools, modernizing the district’s oldest campuses of Del Mar Hills, Del Mar Heights and Carmel Del Mar and replacing 25-year-old portables with permanent classroom buildings. According to Superintendent Holly McClurg, the district has “significant needs,” totaling around $126 million. In January, the board gave direction to move forward in hiring a polling firm as they decided whether or not to go for a general obligation bond or school facilities improvement district (SFID) on the November ballot. The board was hesitant as their last polling, before its 2012 general obligation bond, informed them they would have a high guarantee to pass the bond but the bond failed, receiving 53 percent of the 55 percent approval requirement. Some parents expressed support for a
potential November bond in March. “Carmel Del Mar has been around a long time and it needs a little TLC,” said Carmel Del Mar parent Allison Healy-Poe. “I’ve seen directly the impact the bond San Dieguito Union High School District passed (Prop AA) has had on learning for those kids, the things like new science labs at Torrey Pines. It is a fantastic example of what improved learning environments have done to energize those kids about learning.” Carmel Del Mar parent David Wojtkowski echoed Healy-Poe’s comments about the need to improve the aging campus and said that he is confident that “this time In May, the board ultimately decided not to move forward with putting on a $135 million bond on the ballot after the survey showed just a bare majority believes that the district has a significant need for funding—the survey showed 57 percent said they would vote yes (36 percent definitely yes, 21 probably yes) with 10 percent of the undecided “leaning yes.” “I’m worried that it looks very similar to what it was last time and without the public saying we have a need for facilities, I think it’s going to be a difficult task,” board member Scott Wooden said. “We have three schools that have significant needs but not the other five, so it’s going to be very hard to convince people.” In November, the district saw neighboring Solana Beach School District’s bond pass with 65 percent approval. The board directed staff to begin the process of updating the district’s facilities master plan. The challenge lies ahead to craft a clear message to voters that there are needs at the district’s oldest schools and for all schools in the next 20 to 25 years. Have a heart All of the San Diego Police Department’s Northwestern Division’s patrol cars were equipped with life-saving automated external defibrillators (AEDs), thanks to a donation from San Diego City Council President Sherri Lightner, District 5 Council member Mark Kersey and San Diego Fire-Rescue’s Project Heart Beat on Jan. 27. “The police officers’ ability to use an AED could be the crucial difference that saves a patients’ life,” Lightner said. Parks and recreation •The Carmel Valley Park and Recreation Council approved the plans for the new Pacific Highlands Ranch Community Park and Recreation Center in February, bringing the community one step closer to a park with the first bicycle pump track in San Diego and one of largest turf sports fields in the city. “I’m truly impressed by the whole park,” said Marilee Pacelli, rec council chair after the council’s unanimous vote of support. “I actually think the recreation center building itself is going to be truly amazing.” The park will have an “enormous” five-and-a-half-acre field (larger than the substantial 4.7-acre Ocean Air Recreation Center field), two full-size lit basketball courts, parkour course, skate plaza, dog parks and an inventive play garden for kids with unique structures for discovery and climbing. The pump track is a trend that has taken off in the mountain states and in Northern California. Obstacles called “rollers” allow riders to gain speed—by “pumping” the obstacles, riders can develop basic bike handling skills and get a fun form of exercise. There will be a half-mile walking and jogging loop with exercise stations around the park perimeter. SEE REVIEW, A17
www.delmartimes.net FROM REVIEW, A16 The 17,000-square-foot recreation center was designed to tie into the civic buildings and residences of Pacific Highlands Ranch with its “soft-modern” style. The rec center will have a large gym striped for sports like basketball, volleyball and badminton, meeting rooms and class spaces, linked together by an enclosed patio. Funding from Pardee Homes will be available for the two-year construction process to begin in July of 2017. •In late February, more than 60 volunteers came out to work on a valuable trail improvement in Del Mar Mesa, a collaboration between Pardee Homes and the San Diego Mountain Bike Association. “This the first time that SDMBA has partnered with Pardee Homes, or any developer, on a trail project. With development happening in all parts of San Diego County, we hope we can continue to work with developers to create quality, sustainable natural trails for their communities,” said Susie Murphy, executive director of SDMBA. “Pardee Homes has been fully involved in the process of planning and building this trail. We applaud their efforts and thank them for being a leader in this area.” The trail in Del Mar Mesa provides connectivity, linking areas separated by urban development with a multi use trail for the enjoyment of cyclists, hikers, trail runners, equestrians and neighbors. •Coast View Park opened in the Torrey Hills neighborhood in May. At a little over an acre in size the new public park sits in between Ocean Air Apartments and Torrey Gardens on East Ocean Air Drive. The playground includes swings, slides and climbing nets and a mix of sand and soft rubber mat surface. Beyond a grassy area, barbecue pits and picnic tables are clustered together toward the back of the park, with benches under a pretty yellow trellis. A meandering pathway runs along the perimeter of the park with a HealthBeat fitness circuit. The outdoor exercise equipment along the path includes stations for plyometrics, pull-ups and dips and stretching. •In July, San Diego City Council approved a new 28-year lease for Surf Cup Sports on the polo field property. Surf has said there will not be an intensification of use and committed to complete a major restoration and improvements to the Coast to Crest Trail along the property as well as add a new equestrian arena and staging area. Surf also agreed to employ professional traffic management staff, change the on-property traffic flow and parking plan to alleviate local street traffic and adhere to the strict number of events allowed per year. Council President Sherri Lightner cast the sole dissenting vote. “Per the original great deed it was clear to me that this land was intended to be open space,” Lightner said. Rio Olympians Torrey Pines High School was well represented in the Rio Olympics. Alum and field hockey coach Jessica “JJ” Javelet, was a standout competing on the first ever women’s Olympic rugby team. Kerry Simmonds, a Torrey Pines High grad, won gold as part of the dominant women’s eight rowing team—the medal was an extension of a 10-year winning streak. “Crossing the finish line, I remember just an overwhelming amount of emotion. Pure joy
NORTH COAST - DECEMBER 29, 2016 - PAGE A17
and relief all came to the surface. I am pretty certain I yelled or shrieked. I was so very happy,” Simmonds said. “And to be able to share that moment with the eight other women in the boat was incredible. Lots of tears were shed.” Planning board loses longtime members The Carmel Valley planning board said goodbye to three dedicated board members on April 27 with the departure of Chris Moore, Anne Harvey and Victor Manoushakian. Harvey, a board member for 20 years, is “as much of a fixture in this community as the native plants in the open space she fought so hard to protect over the years,” going as far as “standing in front of bulldozers” on Carmel Mountain. Manoushakian had been on the board for nearly as long as Harvey and has taken care of the business interests in the community. He has been the owner of Highlands Jewelers in Piazza Carmel for 27 years and said it was a “beautiful” honor to have served on the board. Moore has been on the board since 2011, representing the concerns of his neighbors and bringing environmental expertise. Don’t forget your re-usable bag! On July 19, San Diego City Council approved a city-wide ban on plastic bags. With the action, San Diego became the 150th jurisdiction in the state to ban plastic checkout bags. While some people said to wait until November when a statewide plastic bag ban initiative was on the ballot with Proposition 67, Council President Sherri Lightner said the city had waited long enough — she wished they had been the first jurisdiction in California to ban plastic bags. “I strongly believe that now is the time to demonstrate local leadership on this issue and make a clear statement that we value our environment and believe that this sustainable action is the right thing to do to protect it,” Lightner said. San Diego uses 700 million plastic single-use bags a year and only 3 percent of those are recycled. Proposition 67 passed in November, upholding the state law signed by Gov. Jerry Brown in 2014 and the statewide ban went into effect immediately. Heartfelt goodbyes •Former Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) board member Doug Perkins passed away on May 6. Perkins officially resigned the DMUSD board on Jan. 5, 2015 to serve on the San Diego County Board of Education, which he was elected to in November 2014. He suffered a stroke in February 2015 and was never able to join the board.“He was not only a fantastic board member but he was a dear friend to all of us,” DMUSD Superintendent Holly McClurg said. “He loved, loved our district and he loved the children here…He had courage and passion like none I’ve seen before.” •Marvin Gerst, an avid defender of San Diego’s open space and former member of the Del Mar Mesa Community Planning Board, passed away on May 11 after a long fight with Parkinson’s disease. As Gerst played an important role in the establishment of the CVREP Trail, an effort is building to rename it the Marvin Gerst Trail. •A Torrey Pines graduate, 21-year-old Nicolas Leslie was killed in the July 14 terrorist attack in Nice, France, when a man drove a truck into a Bastille Day celebration and killed 84 people. Leslie, a UC Berkeley student, was studying abroad in France. “He was just a beautiful kid. He was an angel,” said his uncle Alberto Leslie.

FROM COUNCIL, A1 in December, the second time he will hold the largely ceremonial role. Neither Sinnott, nor the council, which has two new members, will get much of a breather as the new year starts. Early on, the council will consider new regulations for short-term rentals, an issue that generated a lot of discussion during last fall’s City Council election. Although Del Mar property owners have been renting their homes to vacationers for decades, the practice really took off in recent years with the advent of online rental services such as Airbnb. That increase in rentals brought a corresponding rise in complaints from year-round residents about noise, traffic, parking impacts and litter. Some in the community want to ban rentals of less than 30 days outright, while others favor tighter regulations to prevent abuses and protect residents. Sinnott said he favors the latter approach, but admits that the council will be walking a tightrope, with potential lawsuits no matter which way the council votes. “It’s got to be thought out very carefully,” he said. A package of proposed new regulations is expected to land on the council’s desk by January or February, and for now, a moratorium on new short-term rentals is in place. Also by spring, the first revenue from Measure Q should begin flowing into city coffers. Sinnott said he favors using the money for such projects as utility undergrounding and fixing streets and sidewalks. But he said that before any final decisions are made, the council will seek input from community members through workshops, public hearings and other means. Similarly, community input will be sought for the design of Shores Park, a parcel purchased by the city from the local school district at Camino Del
Life Tributes
Mar and Stratford. The property is currently the home of the Winston School and recreational fields. “We’re figuring out how to design (the park) so it will be used by the community,” Sinnott said. Another big decision facing the council in 2017 is whether the city should form its own police department, rather than relying on the Sheriff’s Department for police services. The city has been studying the issue for four years, said Sinnott, and its finance committee has recommended moving forward with a police department, determining that the city could put more officers on the street for about the same annual price tag - $2 million - as its contract with the Sheriff’s Department. Sinnott said he is “100 percent convinced we should have our own police department.” The city manager is preparing a report that will soon come before the council on the specifics of starting a new police department, and the council’s job will be to consider the information and facilitate discussions with residents. “I think we have to decide in 2017,” he said, because the information is available, and there isn’t much more to be learned about the issue. The community now must make up its mind, he said. “We’ve kind of teed it up for the council to make a decision.” Throughout the coming year, the council will also be monitoring the City Hall construction project to make sure it remains on time and within budget, Sinnott said. Currently, work such as the installation of foundations and retaining walls is underway. The work is expected to continue in the coming year, with completion set for early 2018. Once finished, he said, the new civic center will act as a pedestrian magnet for south Del Mar, where people can enjoy ocean views from a series of public patios, admire public art and stroll through farmers markets, he said.
users met that challenge. Amy Dillon was one of those women. A mother of five children, including one with special needs, Dillon hadn’t visited the doctor for about 10 years. When she received the challenge to get a mammogram, she made an appointment and found out that she had a precancerous polyp. Although it could have been catastrophic, because it was identified with the mammogram, she was able to have it removed. “Team Better is a great app,” Dillon told Fox 5 San Diego during a news segment about the app. “I’m very thankful for it—everyone should download it.” Hamson and Ingersoll continued to test their wellness concept over the next four months, interviewing the app’s users, doing research and sending out surveys. After finding it was successful, they worked with a group of engineers to build the app and hired a team of content writers who are all experts in the areas of health and fitness. In addition to Kim, they include Kara Chine from Encinitas and Dana Vaughan from Poway, who are both writers for the social/mental/emotional challenges and blogs; and Cynthia Miranda, a fitness writer from Carlsbad. “It’s a fun app for women because the challenges are doable and even though they only take a few minutes of your day, they resonate into your everyday life and may even have lasting effects,” said Miranda, who has been in the fitness industry for more than 20 years and has a degree in sports medicine. “We want users to feel like we are sharing a cup of coffee and to have our trust. We have their best interest in mind and we all share similar concerns and joys.” Hamson said there are dozens of daily challenge apps available but what sets Team Better apart from the others is the quality of content provided by the writers. “They’re moms, they’re busy, employed and doing a variety of things,” he said. “They understand the women who we are talking to.” After officially launching the app this summer during breast cancer awareness month in October, the number of users grew to 8,000 in late December. “We want everybody to get a little bit better every day,” said Hamson. “The big message is that you are worth it. You deserve this. You deserve more than five minutes a day, but we’ll help you take at least five minutes a day for you.” For more information, visit www.teambetter.com or download the Team Better app from the App Store.

consisting of community members and civic leaders. The feedback was mostly positive, he said. “Based on that, there wasn’t a whole lot of opposition,” Vickery said. “I think everybody felt like this would be a valuable asset and help the department to save lives.” But others have voiced that feedback wasn’t enough and considered the decision premature. Christie Hill, senior policy strategist for the American Civil Liberties Union of San Diego and Imperial Counties, said the organization encouraged the Sheriff’s Department in February to hold public meetings before purchasing and implementing the technology, but that request went unanswered. “We became aware through media reports that they were using the drones,” she said. “We still feel that the public should have input to understand the scope of how the drones will be used, the costs and the policy.” Despite the community advisory groups Vickery said the department worked with, Hill considered there was “no public input.” “We still believe it should be public so the community at large is able to participate and offer comments and input into whether or not this technology should be used,” she said. Further, the ACLU said in a statement the Sheriff’s Department policy “provides insufficient details about the ... training” and the language “leaves a lot of discretion for potential misuses of the equipment.” It is also unclear who decides what data is necessary to store, what criteria must be met to allow the sheriff to ignore constitutional rights and what is considered “reasonable and respectful” in regard to privacy, according to the ACLU. Ultimately, the decision came down to Sheriff Bill Gore, who told the County Board of Supervisors — which allots the department’s budget — about the intention to use the UAVs. He did not have to receive permission from the board, however, because the $125,000 cost for the pilot program was
accounted for in the existing budget, Vickery said. Since then, the six cameras — costing the department about $7,000 total — have been used by the SWAT team three times, for the Rancho Santa Fe officer-involved-shooting and at several homicide scenes, Vickery said. The bomb arson unit and tactical teams can also use the drones to get closer views of potentially dangerous situations. “It can do what the robots do, only with an aerial view,” Vickery said. The idea is to get a feel of the drones in a year-long pilot program, which costs the department $125,000 out of its total $600 million budget, Vickery said. The cost of the program includes trainings, equipment and additional cameras, such as a single $16,000 infrared camera that can be attached to a drone for night or dark footage. Vickery expects the technology to speed up investigations by mapping out crime and investigation scenes in one shot. Four deputies have been trained so far, with another four being trained by the end of January, Vickery said. Vickery stressed that the drones — which currently have a 45-minute turn-around time to arrive at a crime scene — fall under a “checks and balances system” and will not be misused or abused. He said there are several policies and laws in place to guide and enforce how the technology is used. The Federal Aviation Administration, for example, regulates usage at night, so the Sheriff’s Department needs to request permission ahead of time for that use. The drones also cannot fly above 400 feet. Vickery also added that no footage will be stored unless it can be used as evidence. The department is also bound by the law to allow suspects to view footage regarding his or her crime scene. He sees this as a useful tool going forward and envisions the devices in the back of all patrol cars in the future. “By the end of the year, there will be several police and fire agencies using these in the county,” Vickery said. “I think we owe it to the public to explore this option and use this because it can be such a valuable tool.”

FROM RUNNER, A12 flare up in the cold just as they do in the heat. Before her MS symptoms started to show, Hile ran half-marathons at an 8:20 pace. “Now I’m definitely much slower but I’m just happy I can keep running with MS, because it can stop you from moving at all,” Hile explained. “I’m hoping when I finally do stop running marathons, it will be on my own terms, not because I have MS.” Hile grew up in Orange County, but has lived in San Diego since coming to UC San Diego in 1995 (except for a brief stint in Seattle from 2010-2013 during which she still came back to San Diego to have Mirzaian make her AFOs). Back then, Mirzaian had a small local practice in La Jolla, which was bought out by the Hanger, Inc — a huge national prosthetic and orthotic company — in 2012. That’s when he moved to the office in Encinitas, where his practice is booming. Born and raised in Glendale, Mirzaian came to North County in 1987 and never moved back. He attended San Diego State to be a dietitian, but got into orthotics after an injury to his knee that was supposed to keep him away from snowboarding and surfing for a year or two. A brace that was made for him allowed him to get back to those activities much sooner, and that inspired him to get into the field, so he went back to school, got certified and has been doing this work since 1992. “Not too many people know about this field and it’s really growing,” said Mirzaian, whose wife, Donna, has taught at La Costa Heights Elementary in Encinitas since 1995. They have three kids who went through the Encinitas Union School District and are now seventh, ninth and 12th graders in the San Dieguito Union High School District. After Mirzaian examines a patient, he orders the orthotic to be made in a factory based on his specifications, then he does little adjustments himself to make sure the piece fits and works correctly. For Hile’s AFO, that means cutting pieces down and creating a pad. Hanger — which is famous in part for helping athletes with lost or malfunctioning limbs achieve lofty goals and also for creating the prosthetic tail for Winter, the dolphin who is the subject of the movie “Dolphin Tale” — has helped make Hile’s seven in seven goal a reality, sponsoring her trip to Antarctica, among other things.

Holiday Road Trip or Guilt Trip? Working Moms Navigating a Visit Home for the Holidays The holidays are often a special bonding time for families. Some families are spread over the country (or world), coming together for the rare visit. Other families are much closer, and the holiday dinner may be one of the many dinners shared each month. Each family has its own set of expectations for the perfect holiday, and sometimes this can take some creative planning but leads to a rewarding experience. In some families, though, the daughter’s life is expected to be focused around her mother. The adult daughter with her own
life, and even her own family, is treated as if she is still a child or a subordinate. Sometimes, nothing the adult daughter does is sufficient to her mother’s expectations. Here are the most common holiday mothers and some solutions for how the adult daughters can cope. 1. The Needy Mom It’s true—there’s a difference between wanting a grown daughter and her family around for the holiday and demanding it. Solution? Usually, a gentle reminder or providing an alternative can appease the hurt in missing a holiday with mom, who may just need a reality check that her grown daughter will not be able to spend every holiday, every year, for the rest of her life, with her mother. And then send her flowers. 2. The Guilt Tripper The adult daughter doesn’t call enough, doesn’t visit enough. Ultimately, mom can’t handle the empty nest. Sometimes, it doesn’t matter how long it has been since the children moved out—the empty nest is a very-real-to-her-but-irrational-toeveryone-else fear that the mother might be left alone, ultimately to be called the

local witch by the neighborhood children. But adult women are not responsible for their mother’s happiness. Solution? Try telling her she made you the successful, independent, autonomous woman you are today. And send her flowers. Scary witches don’t get flower deliveries. 3. The “That’s Not MY Recipe for Baked Yams” Mother This is a tough one for adult daughters with their own lives, but their mom may be in competition to prove that they were the best at being a mom, at raising kids. They may want to show off how much better their holiday dinners are, or how the daughters could not be functioning adults without their sage advice. They may only feel validated if their daughters make all the same choices they made. If the daughter goes her own way, mom may take it as a personal slight. Solution? Don’t take the bait. Sometimes you just need to get through a holiday dinner in peace. Then vent about her on the drive home. 4. Your Mother is a Bear You cannot poke the bear. You cannot appease the bear. The bear can smell blood
or a struggling salmon from a thirty-mile radius. The bear is passive aggressive and sneaky. The bear’s needs must become the single most important needs of everyone in that thirty-mile radius. Solution? Hibernate this one out. The adult daughter is not a bear keeper or park ranger and has her own family and life to manage. Women have so much to deal with already, especially around the holidays. If they have children of their own, it can be an important lesson for the children to see their mom not being passive in the face of grandma’s aggressive or undermining behavior. It is hard not to fall into the cycles of guilt, especially when family bonds are seen as critical foundations for our lives. Our families are our support systems, and mothers can be the biggest support systems for working moms.

4 world premieres coming to Playhouse Music of Jimmy Buffett and Donna Summer take center stage next season
BY JAMES HEBERT ast year at this time, La Jolla Playhouse was announcing it would roll out four world-premiere shows for its 2016-17 season, an ambitious commitment to new work. Now, for 2017-18, the Playhouse is quadrupling down. The theater is once again announcing it will produce four new works for its coming season, which will include six productions altogether. (The other two shows have yet to be revealed.) One of the projects has already been announced — and has received more or less global attention: “Escape to Margaritaville,” the musical built around the songs of Jimmy Buffett. But the newly unveiled productions also include a second big musical centered on a major pop star: An as-yet-untitled project based on the life and music of Donna Summer, and directed by Playhouse artistic director emeritus Des McAnuff. The other two new works announced are both non-musical plays by

L
up-and-coming writers: Rachel Bonds’ “At the Old Place,” and Hansol Jung’s “Wild Goose Dreams.”
A look at what’s on the way:
■ “Escape to Margaritaville,” May 16 to June 25, 2017: The planet’s legions of “Parrotheads” (as Jimmy Buffett fans dub themselves) can rejoice. Playhouse artistic chief Christopher Ashley, who is directing this very likely Broadway-bound musical, says Buffett himself has been deeply engaged in the ongoing development of the show. “He’s been very involved at every step,” said Ashley (who’s in the middle of directing the last pre-Broadway staging of another Playhouse-launched musical, “Come From Away,” in Toronto.) “He’s been part of every reading we’ve done, every staging workshop. “He’s writing either one or two new songs for the score. And also just offering reflections on songs — talking about what the

He’s right there at the center of those conversations.” The show, as mentioned previously, “is really not the story of Jimmy Buffett’s life — although some of his songs are biographical,” Ashley noted. “So various moments in his life have been given to various characters. I think if you know Jimmy Buffett’s biography very well, you will recognize lots of things.”
“Escape to Margaritaville” was written by Greg Garcia (“My Name is Earl”) and Mike O’Malley (“Survivor’s Remorse,” “Shameless”); the Playhouse has previously described it as “the story of a tropical island resort and its part-time bartender, part-time singer and full-time charmer who thinks he’s got life all figured out — until a beautiful, career-minded tourist steals his heart and makes him question everything.”
■ “Untitled Donna Summer Project,” November/December 2017: Donna Summer, who died in 2012, was the reigning Queen of Disco in the 1970s, but also helped influence other genres through such work as “I Feel Love,” a song that’s considered a pioneering moment in techno music. “You can make the case she was the voice of a generation,” said Ashley of Summer, who had 14 Top SEE LA JOLLA PLAYHOUSE, B4

(Part 1) SOUNDSTREAMS will feature works awash of aural awareness by current and former San Diego composers, including Benjamin Sabey, former San Diego New Music executive director Nathan Brock, and NOISE cellist Franklin Cox, and works by New Zealand composer Chris Cree Brown, French composer Betsy Jolas and American maverick James Tenney. Evocative of sonic panoramas, these works are foundational in their motive, yet sweeping in their inference. (Part 2) RISING CURRENTS I & II will feature established and newly established composers. While individually creative in their compositional explorations, collectively they represent composers who derive their strength from dynamic internal forces that connect them intimately to their immediate surroundings, be they natural, urban or cultural. All will be joined by guest composers James Romig, Benjamin Sabey and Andrew Staniland. The Jan. 7 evening event will feature a world premiere of “Festival of Whispers,” by composer Matthew Burtner, which will be presented with an installation during the festival. “Festival of Whispers” was commissioned by The Athenaeum in

FROM LA JOLLA PLAYHOUSE, B2 10 hits and sold some 140 million records. The show, which will include about 20 of Summer’s songs, “basically explores her life from performing in her parents’ living room as a kid, to the wild toboggan ride that was her life through pop culture.” Ashley explained that the show “is framed by her last concert at (New York’s) Studio 54, and it’s very much a dance musical. So much of that music was written for a kind of communal dance explosion, and it was written to be danced to.” Director McAnuff is practically synonymous with the Playhouse: He led the revival of the then-moribund institution in 1983, and
served two long stints as its artistic chief, bringing it to national prominence. He also built a huge Broadway career (“Jersey Boys,” “The Who’s Tommy” and more), and most recently was the artistic leader of Canada’s Stratford Festival before returning to life as an independent director. McAnuff’s last Playhouse directing project was “Sideways” in 2013. ■ “At the Old Place,” July/August 2017: Playhouse associate artistic director Jaime Castañeda will direct the new Rachel Bonds play; he most recently staged Mike Lew’s “Tiger Style!” The Playhouse plot blurb: “In her mid-40s and facing a breaking point, a literature professor returns to her childhood

home in Virginia only to discover two young people camped out on her lawn.” Ashley described it as “a piece about the roads not taken, and about how life sometimes gives you second chances at some choices.” He said of Bonds: “She’s a real rising star in the theater world right now. She’s got a world premiere a month before and month after us. She’s hitting in a big way.” ■ “Wild Goose Dreams,” September/October 2017: This one’s by another rising newcomer, Hansol Jung. It will be directed by Leigh Silverman, who has major New York credits with “Chinglish” and more. (She also directed a Playhouse workshop of “Ernest Shackleton Loves Me” a few years back.)
The play centers on a North Korean defector who has left her family behind, and launches into an online romance with a lonely South Korean father. “It’s very inventive; how the play puts the online world onstage is very playful, and there’s a real dark humor to the piece,” Ashley said, adding with a laugh: “Online and North Korea — I’ve never seen that onstage before.” — IF YOU GO: La Jolla Playhouse, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive, on the UC San Diego campus.

Have a Bubbly New Year! “I only drink Champagne on two occasions: When I am in love, and when I am not.” — Coco Chanel
W
hen the second hand on the clock sweeps toward midnight for the Dec. 31 countdown, millions of celebrants around the globe will be hoisting a glass of bubbly to toast in the New Year. The shimmering bubbles from the sparkling French wine will soon pull you in to an aura of giddy sophistication. As the Champagne tickles the nose, seduces the palate and creates a light-headed bliss, one’s troubles tend to melt away in a glass of bubbles. Speaking of glass, Champagne is traditionally served in two types of barware: one is the wide-mouthed stemmed glass called the “coupe” — which was rumored to have been molded from Marie Antoinette’s breast — and the other is the tulip-shaped “flute,” the ideal receptacle for champagne because it allows the bubbles to properly circulate, and enhance the drinking experience. “Come quickly, I am tasting the stars!” — Dom Perignon Dom Pierre Perignon, a 16th century French Benedictine monk and cellar master for the abbey at Reims cathedral, has been credited with valuable contributions to

standardizing production of the bubbling wine, particularly for creating sturdy, thicker glass bottles to prevent exploding from the high-pressurized bubbles, and securing corks with rope snare mechanisms. The Treaty of Madrid of 1891 originally granted France the legal right to restrict the use of the word “Champagne” (with a capital “C”) to sparkling wines produced in the Champagne region of France. This protected status was later ratified by the Treaty of Versailles. Vive la France! What sets Champagne apart is that it is a double fermented wine. True Champagne is

Turn the bottle, with a firm grip on the cork, and release it without yanking. If done properly, the bottle will expel a soft whimper, not a “pop.” If you have any leftover Champagne after ringing in the New Year, toasting the bride and groom, christening a ship, or spraying your teammates in a locker room throwdown, then use the divine libation to enhance both sweet and savory dishes. Breakfast treats go beyond mimosas — pour some bubbly in pancake or waffle batters, and concoct a strawberry Champagne syrup to drizzle on top.

created by a traditional process called methode Champenoise, with a secondary fermentation that takes place in the bottle or sealed cask, that produces bubbles of stored carbon dioxide responsible for the signature “pop” when the bottle is opened. Only three types of grapes are permitted for Champagne production: Chardonnay (creating Blanc de Blancs), Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier (creating Blanc de Noirs). Different kinds of Champagne are labeled according to the amount of sugar, called “dosage,” which was added to the bottle before being corked. The “drier” the Champagne, the less sweet it is. No sugar is added to Ultra Brut, Brut Zero or Brut Sauvage making these the driest; Brut contains a maximum of 1.5 percent sugar; Extra Dry or Extra Sec somewhat sweeter with up to 2 percent sugar; Dry or Sec has as much as 4 percent sugar; Demi-Sec up to 8 percent, while Doux is the sweetest champagne, considered a dessert wine, with upwards of 10 percent sugar. Champagne is also categorized by the bottle size, the most popular being the Standard (750 ml.). The Demi contains half this amount, while the Magnum is the equivalent of two Standard bottles. Behemoths like the Jeroboam contain six Standards, while the Salmanazar equals 12 of them. Whatever bottle of bubbly you’ve chosen, make sure it’s chilled to a temp around 40 degrees Fahrenheit. Since the contents are under pressure, don’t use a traditional corkscrew, rather the finesse of your hands and a cloth napkin (or specially designed Champagne cork remover).

More than 2.6 million children under the age of 19 receive emergency treatment each year for sports and recreation-related injuries. Learn about sports injuries that are most common – on the field and on the court – at this free event. Dr. Brad Stiles, a Sharp Rees-Stealy sports medicine doctor, will offer tips on how to prevent sports injuries from happening – and how to treat them if they do. You’ll also have the chance to ask questions and get health information at various booths. Pacific Trails Middle School is located at 5975 Village Center Loop Road, San Diego, 92130. For more information or to register, call 1-800-82-SHARP or visit www.sharp.com/schooledonwellness.
Volunteers needed for trail repair project Volunteers are needed for a trail repair project Saturday, Jan. 14, from 9 a.m. to noon. Join REI, the San Dieguito River Valley Park, the San Diego Mountain Biking Association and the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy to repair an approximately half-mile portion of the multi-use, unpaved Bernardo Summit Trail within the San Dieguito River Park.

The Bernardo Summit Trail provides a panoramic view of Lake Hodges to the west and the San Pasqual Valley and local mountains to the east. The nearby Coast to Crest Trail, which is accessible from the Bernardo Summit Trail, is a 70-mile trail that traverses unique landscapes from the coast in Del Mar to Volcan Mountain in Julian. The Conservancy wishes to thank REI for its $10,000 grant to make this project a reality and bring the communities together to ensure outdoor experiences are safe and enjoyable. Directions and other logistics provided upon registration. Register: https://form.jotform.com/63005480372146
