Council approves One Paseo, adds affordable housing

BY KAREN BILLING San Diego City Council approved the One Paseo development in Carmel Valley with a 7-2 vote on Feb. 23.

The meeting stretched for seven hours, and hundreds of project opponents filled council chambers and overflow rooms.

Only Council President Sherri Lightner and Council President Pro-tem Marti Emerald voted against the motion, which approved the mixed-use One Paseo at 1.4 million square feet with 246,500 square feet of retail, 484,000 square feet of office space and 608 residential units on El Camino Real and Del Mar Heights Road.

Councilmembers approved the project on the conditions that 10 percent

Hundreds of people attended the San Diego City Council One Paseo hearing. Photo by Karen Billing of the residential units are affordable housing; that the project’s transportation shuttle be implemented before the first certificate of occupancy; and that Kilroy’s benefit of an adaptive control system for the traffic signals be a permit condition.

Councilmember Lorie Zapf said this was one of the most difficult decisions the council has had to make in a

long time.

“We want to build a sustainable San Diego, but we also want to build a San Diego that all income levels can afford,” Zapf said, noting that the project will include the affordable middleclass housing that the city lacks.

Zapf said One Paseo was “smart growth,” representing the mixed-use community of the future for San Diego, a place where people can live, work and play while reducing the burden on the city’s freeways.

“It is a well-thought-out project, it is the growth our city needs to experience,” said Marcela Escobar-Eck, representing Kilroy. “One Paseo stands to be one of the most progressive and sus-

tainable projects in San Diego.”

Lightner expressed her disappointment in the council’s decision. She said One Paseo was too large in bulk and scale, dramatically alters the community character, and creates “horrendous and unmitigatable” traffic impacts.

“I am discouraged by today’s outcome, as I strongly oppose the One Paseo project as proposed, or even with the minor modifications requested tonight,” said Lightner in a statement.

“The current project has too many significant impacts to the surrounding community, including traffic, parking, public safety and community character.”

SDUHSD: Process already exists to allow change of teachers

BY KAREN BILLING Earlier this month, several San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) parents requested that the district consider allowing students to move out of class if there is a clear personality conflict or if a teacher is not living up to the standards of the district.

The parents, who said they had experiences with

district teachers where their students’ educations “suffered beyond repair,” proposed a fair process with restrictions, such as allowing the change only if there is space and only within the first three weeks of the class.

At the Feb. 5 SDUHSD board meeting, Associate Superintendent of Educational Services Michael Grove said that the district does not al-

low students to move to a different teacher in the same class subject. However, at the Feb. 19 meeting, Grove clarified this statement and said that it is allowed and that it does happen.

“We generally don’t change teachers or students based on preference or requests, but there are situations where that occurs,” Grove said.

He said the district uses a process that has been built in for decades, and 99 percent of the time a solution is reached that is workable for everyone.

The district expects parents to engage with the district and try to solve the problem.

The process involves having the parent and student first meet with a counselor to request the change. If it’s early in the year, a student

might get the change because schools are still balancing classes. However, Grove said, typically classes are balanced and at capacity because the district tends to staff very tightly.

“There isn’t a lot of room for students to move,” he said.

One year after vote to expand public use, Fletcher Cove center grows more popular

BY KRISTINA HOUCK The cliff-top center that once divided the Solana Beach community has since become an increasingly popular place for private events.

This month marks one year since Solana Beach voters narrowly approved a measure that eased restrictions on private parties at Fletcher Cove Community Center.

Proposition B was adopted by nearly 51 percent of voters, with 1,947 “Yes” votes and 1,875 “No” votes during a

DEL MAR

special election Feb. 11, 2014.

Under the new rules, the city began accepting reservations in mid-March of last year. Since then, the center has been used for 20 private events, including birthday parties, wedding receptions, memorials and company functions, according to interim City Manager David Ott. Half of the events included alcohol.

Now, less than two months into 2015, 13 rentals have already been held or approved, nine of which

will include alcohol.

“It’s definitely becoming more popular,” Ott said. “You can see the word’s getting out.”

Proposition B was brought to the ballot box by citizens after the issue of public use of the center divided the community for more than two years. Supporters wanted to lift restrictions, while opponents feared adverse impacts from private functions.

SDUHSD considers ending bus SDUHSD board approves cost of classroom work at Torrey Pines transportation for students

BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District is considering eliminating bus service in the 2015-16 school year because of declining ridership and cost concerns. A survey will go out to district parents to gather input before any final recommendations are made for next year, according to Eric Dill, associate superintendent of business services.

According to the board report given at a Feb. 5 budget workshop, the district is considering eliminating middle school transportation and high school shuttles and re-deploying the fleet and drivers to support athletic field trips to reduce costs. By using the fleet it has for athletic trips, the district would need fewer private charters for teams and see reduced overtime costs for drivers and reduced wear on the fleet, extending the life of the buses.

No change is proposed to special education transportation.

According to the report, ridership has been declining at district schools for the past few years. Ridership peaked in the 2010-11 school year with 1,307 riders, but for 2015-16, it is projected to be at 696 districtwide.

At Carmel Valley Middle School, ridership is expected to decline from 300 in 2014-15 to 247 for 2015-16. Earl Warren is expected to fall from 224 this year to 187 in the fall. There are 67 riders at Diegueno and 195 at Oak Crest.

Some of the schools offer free passes for students, including 21 at La Costa Canyon,

26 at Torrey Pines and 11 at Sunset.

Ridership is projected to fall because of more flexible scheduling options, intra-district transfers and the opening of Pacific Trails Middle School, which will further decrease ridership because of shorter travel distance for students.

Additionally, the buses represent a cost concern for the district. The bus fleet is aging —of the 22 buses, the models are from 1997-2003, the average mileage is 142,141 and replacement costs $180,000 each.

According to the board report, updating the fleet would cost the general fund $3 million over the next five years.

Athletic transportation is also supported by the general fund and the district’s 4,000 student athletes take more than 1,700 athletic trips a year.

The school foundations cover roughly half the cost of athletic field trip transportation, but about half of the trips are chartered at a higher cost when district buses or drivers are unavailable.

The report stated that athletic transportation donations have increased, but the service is still heavily supported by the general fund. In 2014-15, $315,000 came out of the general fund and $325,000 from the foundation.

Several surrounding districts no longer offer transportation, including Carlsbad and San Marcos and the feeder districts of Cardiff, Del Mar, Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe and Solana Beach.

5074 Brookburn Drive San Diego 92130

BY KAREN BILLING At its Feb. 19 meeting, the San Dieguito Union High School District approved a guaranteed maximum price of $3.1 million from Erickson Hall Construction Company for the construction of general classrooms at Torrey Pines High School. The work is funded through Proposition AA funds.

The decision was not unanimous; the vote was 3-2, with trustees John Salazar and Mo Muir voting against it.

Salazar opposed the contract with Erickson Hall, as it had contributed $15,000 to the district’s Prop AA campaign. Salazar said he had a problem philosophically with the district awarding a contract to a company that had given them a “massive contribution.�

Trustee Amy Herman said she appreciated her fellow trustees’ rationale, but disagreed with the perception that there has been any “pay to play� within the district. “I believe that our district has always worked in a very ethical way,� Herman said.

Herman said that Erickson Hall has worked with them cooperatively on other projects, bringing projects in on time and under budget. “They have done an incredible job in the past, and I see no reason to hold back this contract at this time,� agreed trustee Joyce Dalessandro.

Salazar and Muir said they didn’t intend to disparage Erickson Hall or accuse the company of anything. Salazar said he dis-

agrees with the unfair advantage that contractors have over regular taxpayers, and that they have a tremendous amount to gain by contributing. “It’s nothing against Erickson Hall at all, it’s just protesting the entire school bond concept,� Salazar said.

Superintendent Rick Schmitt said that while he knows there are other school districts that have “played dirty,� that is not the case in San Dieguito. He said the district’s staff is ethical, works hard and had no knowledge of which companies had contributed to the bond effort. “I’m proud of our team,� Schmitt said. “Led by Eric Dill, they go out of their way to get the best price and the best deal to get it done and on time.�

The district approved a resolution with Erickson Hall at the Feb. 5 board meeting for a total of $15.9 million of improvements at Torrey Pines, including classroom remodels and work on the media center and front entry.

Salazar and Muir also voted against the resolution.

Other companies who donated to the bond campaign were Lionakis ($25,000), Westberg & White ($25,000) and Balfour Beatty ($11,000).

Lionakis did the architecture for Pacific Trails Middle School and the new Earl Warren Middle School, and Balfour Beatty is handling construction for Pacific Trails.

SB Schools Foundation donates more than $260,000 to district

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Thanks to the Solana Beach Schools Foundation, local students will continue to learn much more than reading, writing and arithmetic.

On behalf of the Solana Beach School District, the school board on Feb. 11 accepted more than $260,000 in donations from the district-wide nonprofit.

“We’re happy to be able to support the kids in this district in any way that we can,” said Patti Malmuth, executive director of the foundation, in an interview.

Founded in 1987, the Solana Beach Schools Foundation raises funds to support school programs and students in the Solana Beach School District. Funds help schools offer Discovery Labs, which focus on science, technology, research, engineering, arts and math, or STREAM, and supplemental physical education.

“Discovery Labs are very closely aligned with what’s happening in the classroom,” Malmuth said. “It’s really taken off this year.

The kids love it and we’re excited about it.”

The foundation, which raises close to $1 million each year, presents the district

with quarterly donations. The foundation’s latest donation of $260,882.49 stems from funds raised October through December.

Funds benefit six of the district’s seven elementary schools. The Parent Teacher Organization at Solana Santa Fe heads fundraising for that school.

The foundation hopes to raise at least $866,000 this year, Malmuth said.

Most funds are raised through the foundation’s annual fund drive. Funds are also raised at a variety of fundraising activities and special events throughout the year, including school-based fun runs, a Halloween Carnival and the annual Solana Beach Bash, which is set for May 2 at the Belly Up Tavern.

“We’re so grateful to all our parents and the greater community for supporting us,” Malmuth said.

CCA team places 2nd in national math contest San Diego’s Canyon Crest Academy has some of the best high-school mathematicians in the country, as demonstrated by their second-place finish in the 2015 Four-by-Four Competition, a national mathematics contest administered by National Assessment & Testing (http://www.natassessment.com).

Coach Brian Shay prepared students for the contest, in which teams of four participated in 10 three-minute rounds in which they attempted to answer four questions.

After results from schools across the country were double-checked, the team of Kevin Choe, Bhairav Chidambaram, Tristan Pollner, and Eshaan Nichani placed first in the oldest division, helping their school to place second overall among the top schools in the country.

Canyon Crest Academy participated in all four of National Assessment & Testing’s contests this year.

Some CCA parents, athletes accuse girls field hockey coach of bullying

BY KAREN BILLING A group of Canyon Crest Academy field hockey parents and students are calling for a coach to be fired after players allegedly suffered verbal abuse and bullying.

Several parents and two field hockey team members tearfully addressed the San Dieguito Union School board at its Feb. 19 meeting, detailing how coach Rebecca Kingsbury had chosen her “A Team” favorites and tore down the others with “horrible” insults and negative treatment.

Although a group has lodged complaints about the coach for the past two seasons, Kingsbury has been reinstated for the 2015-16 school year.

“I’m tired of the games the administration is playing at CCA,” said senior Madison McIntyre, fighting to speak through tears. “I’ve been dealing with this situation for two long years and I’m afraid if I don’t speak up now, I’m afraid someone might pay with their lives.”

Player Hannah Manchel said the coach made her feel “invisible, worthless and humiliated” and said she feels the district has minimized her feelings. She said while she may be graduating, she doesn’t want this coach to treat another group of girls badly because the negative effects of her actions don’t end just because the season did.

“I can’t stand aside and let that happen,” Hannah said.

As the girls spoke, Melanie Farfel, CCA’s

student representative on the board, grew increasingly upset. Melanie spoke up at the end of public comment through tears, saying that she had experienced similar poor treatment by the coach when she led the school’s lacrosse team.

The issue was raised during public comment, so the board could not discuss the topic.

Superintendent Rick Schmitt said that the board cannot discuss personnel matters but noted the members have heard the complaints and will continue to investigate the situation.

Kingsbury issued a statement saying that the allegations against her are untrue.

“From my seven-year head coaching career at CCA, across two sports, there are dozens of players and parents who can attest to my character as a person, and as a coach who cares deeply about every kid,” said Kingsbury. “I am truly overwhelmed by the level of support I’ve received over the last few days, from both current and former athletes and families, as well as other coaches and members of the community.

“I’m disappointed with the fact that a few families are willing to go to this length to attack my integrity,” she continued. “It represents the challenges that all coaches face in today’s world of youth and high school sports.”

At the meeting, the parents presented the board with a detailed timeline of inciSee COACH, page 28

‘Optimistic’ attitude wins contest for CVMS student

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although a new member of Carmel Valley Middle School’s Junior Optimist Club, Alyssa Cho is already sharing her optimism with her school and greater community. Alyssa, 14, is the recent winner of the Optimist International Essay Contest at the club level.

“I was really excited that I won,” said Alyssa, an eighthgrader at Carmel Valley Middle School. “Winning a contest is really exciting. It was also a topic I was really interested in.”

This year’s essay prompt was “Optimism Should Be a Priority.” At first, Alyssa said she found it difficult to write a response.

“It’s a topic you know instinctively, so I had a hard time putting it in words,” she said.

Alyssa Cho won $300 and “To me, optimism means that even when things are bad, a medallion for her firstyou look forward. You hope for the best, anticipate for the place essay. Courtesy best, and try your best.”

Alyssa learned about the contest when she joined the Ju- photo nior Optimist Club in January.

Sponsored by the Del Mar-Solana Beach Optimist Club, the club gives students the opportunity to promote positive change in the community, while preparing for high school.

The club, chartered in October, organizes a variety of service projects throughout the year, from collecting clothes for the homeless to gathering gifts for foster children.

“I love to help people,” Alyssa said. “I like to put a smile on people’s faces, so that’s why I joined.”

Optimist International sponsors three scholarship contests for students to earn funds for higher education. These include the Communication Contest for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing, the Essay Contest and the Oratorical Contest.

The Essay Contest gives students under the age of 19 the opportunity to develop writing and critical thinking skills. Contests are conducted at the club level, then the district level. At the district level, the first-place winner receives a plaque and a $2,500 college scholarship, funded by Optimist International Foundations.

Alyssa’s contest earned her first place at the club level. The Del Mar-Solana Beach Optimist Club presented her with $300 and a medallion at the club’s Feb. 18 dinner meeting.

Her essay is being submitted for consideration at the district level.

TPHS Scholarship Fund seeking applicants

BY ROB LEDONNE Since the Torrey Pines High School Scholarship Fund began giving scholarships to deserving Falcon seniors 28 years ago, they’ve handed out in excess of $1 million.

“It’s rewarding, but it’s also a lot of work,” said Karin Lang, who is the co-president of the fund with Mary Stromitis. “The fund is meant to give students encouragement to continue their education beyond high school.”

This year, the volunteer staff behind the fund is at it again, as staffers are looking for 30 to 40 students to reward with money. But as Stromitis stresses, the scholarships awarded don’t have to be just for four-year universities.

“This fund is for every Torrey Pines senior who is headed off to any kind of post-secondary education,” she said. “This includes any school that’s accredited, whether it’s a trade or vocational school, or any two- or four-year college as well.”

The fund, which relies on donations from throughout the community, first began 28 years ago as Dollars for Scholars. It has since become its own 501(c)3 (which merited the name change) and has awarded financial help to countless students.

“Many past recipients have gone on to greater things,” noted Lang of the fund’s rich history. “We recently met a doctor who works for UCSD who benefited from the fund when it first started. We like awarding money to all kinds of students, from those who are the first to go to college in their family and may really need the money, to high achievers.”

It is estimated that one-third of the students who apply will end up receiving scholarship money.

This year, the fund is planning to give out about $40,000 in scholarship money and requires students to undergo a rigorous interview process. The completion of an essay is also required. The entire process is designed to vet the most deserving candidates, as well as prepare students for applying to jobs and programs in the real world.

Various scholarships are available this year, including some in specific categories.

“We received a donation from (Encinitas-based) Hansen Surfboards, and they requested that their scholarship goes toward a student who surfs,” said Lang. Other scholarships given this year will go to students in various sports, including softball, as well as science and other subjects. Memorial scholarships in memory of deceased students are also available.

Board members, some of whom have been part of the fund for the past 28 years, encourage students from all backgrounds to apply.

Said Stromitis, “The scholarship amount is not a huge amount of money — it won’t be enough for a full ride — but thanks to the high cost of college these days, every dollar counts.”

If you’re a deserving Torrey Pines senior interested in applying, find more information at www.TPHSSF.org. Applications must be received by midnight March 13 in order to be considered. Scholarships available this year range from $500 to $1,000.

Students get the word at CCA Writers’ Conference: Just write

BY LOIS ALTER MARK More than 200 students from 31 high schools around San Diego showed up for the fourth annual Canyon Crest Academy Writers’ Conference Feb. 21.

The day-long event featured 28 authors, agents and writing professionals teaching workshops that covered everything from general writing techniques to playwriting and songwriting, podcasts, spoken word, writing for TV and comedy, and selling your work.

“We sold out this year, and had our largest number of attendees ever,” said Julia Camilleri, president of the CCA Creative Writing Club.

“It was great to see students coming from as far as Coronado, Chula Vista and even Ramona!”

Students came to the conference for a variety of reasons. Many dream of becoming best-selling authors, others aspire to write for the stage or screen, and some are simply motivated by practicality.

“I was especially interested in taking ‘Writing the College Essay’ to improve my writing,” admitted Nikita Krishman, a freshman at

The Bishop’s School in La Jolla. Although she’s considering journalism as a career, she believes “that workshop will be the most useful right now.”

Lindsey Fry, a junior at CCA, agreed. “In the college essay writing seminar, I learned some great tips about phrases to avoid when writing my applications next fall. I promise never to use the words, ‘truly’ or ‘suddenly’!”

According to Camilleri, the most popular workshops were the horror panel with Jonathan Maberry and Nancy Holder, Greg Van Eekhout’s “Seeing the World Through Your Character’s Eyes,” Kathy Aarons’ “The Road to Publication” and Allan Retzky’s “How to Start Your Story or Novel.”

The day started in the Proscenium Theater with a keynote speech by horror panelist and best-selling author Maberry.

“We live in an interesting era for publishing,” he told the students. “The industry is really listening to young writers and supporting them in the business of being a writer.”

Maberry shared his story of always wanting to be a

writer but not knowing what he wanted to write. He started writing for his middle school newspaper in order to get a byline, and ended up receiving an academic scholarship to Temple University.

“I was always told, ‘Write what you know,’ so I pitched a story to Black Belt magazine about martial arts,” he said. “The editor wrote back, ‘Are you serious?’ I asked him what I had done wrong, and he sent me a sample of a good query letter. To this day, even though I’ve sold thousands of articles, I still use that template.”

Maberry offered to share that sample letter and encouraged the young audience to read everything they can get their hands on and to write every day.

“A lot of writers wait for the muse,” he said. “What a bunch of crap. That’s not writing; that’s mythologizing the process. A writer just puts his or her butt in the chair and writes.”

He also debunked the idea of writer’s block, telling students, “It doesn’t exist.

As Ray Bradbury once told me, ‘Writing is 99 percent

Authors Nancy Holder and Jonathan Maberry with conference organizer, Julia Camilleri. Photos courtesy of Simone Camilleri thinking and 1 percent typing.’ Every first draft in the history of literature has been terrible.”

Maberry shared fascinating personal stories about his own writers’ groups, which have included A-listers such as Stephen King and Arthur C. Clarke, and his experiences writing greeting cards for Hallmark (he wrote the first 12 cards for the popular “Maxine” line) and achieving his dream job of writing for Marvel Comics.

Students took down every word on notepads and iPads as Maberry provided solid tips. He suggested doing a 15-minute writing prompt in a different genre every day (“I never want to get to a point where I think, ‘I can’t write that.’”) and pitching magazine articles on a subject you know well (“Your age doesn’t matter. Magazines are geared toward beginners, and they’re looking for basic how-to articles.”).

Maberry’s passion for his work was infectious, and the

Del Mar organization is creating big change for world’s ecosystems

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Though small, a Del Mar nonprofit is making a big impact on the world.

Since 1997, Nature and Culture International has helped protect millions of acres of endangered ecosystems in Latin America.

“We work directly with local communities and governments to develop a vision for conservation and a better life for the people living around conservation areas,” said NCI President Byron Swift.

Although it was more than 20 years ago, NCI founder Ivan Gayler, a Del Mar native, vividly recalled the day his tears moved him to action.

While flying over South America in the early 1990s, Gayler looked down at the Amazon rainforest and saw a lattice of logging roads and land-clearing fires.

Perhaps better known locally as part of the Del Mar Partnership that built Del Mar Plaza, Gayler, a

longtime developer, decided to concentrate on conservation more than 15 years ago with the launch of NCI. “That transformed me,” said Gayler, who co-founded Del Mar Partnership with business partner David Winkler in 1979. “The world’s last great ecosystem was disappearing before my very eyes.”

With Gayler still serving as co-chairman of the board and president of the company, Del Mar Partnership donates office space to NCI. And Winkler, co-chairman and chief executive officer of Del Mar Partnership, previously served on NCI’s board.

When Gayler first launched the foundation, he used his own funds to help build the San Francisco Scientific Station on the northern edge of Podocarpus National Park in Ecuador.

There, the German Research Foundation runs what is described as the largest tropical forest research program in

the world, while offering training to locals.

Since then, NCI and its partners in Ecuador, Mexico and Peru have conserved 13 million acres of critical ecosystems, ensuring the survival of countless species, through land purchases, community reserves and government reserves. This includes directly supporting the creation of 6.5 million acres of protected areas, and three United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) biosphere reserves spanning another 6.5 million acres.

“San Diego, Orange and Los Angeles counties combined are 4.5 million acres,” Gayler noted. “It’s larger than that.”

Gayler attributes much of the organization’s success to his strategy of working from the ground up.

Though founded in Del Mar, the organization has only six staff members locally, while 150 staff live and work in Ecuador, Mexico and Peru. NCI’s local staff members develop relationships within their communities to better understand and protect the local ecosystems.

“Local people love their forest and want to protect it,” Gayler said. “They just don’t have the resources, so we help them.”

“Our way is working with the local people,” added Silvia Usuriaga, NCI’s program coordinator and chief of staff. A native of Peru, she directed NCI programs in the Peruvian Amazon for three years before joining the U.S. office.

“We are helping them grow in their way, while conserving the forest they depend on.”

This bottom-up approach is also what attracts NCI’s local and global supporters.

After years of supporting the organization, Del Mar City Councilman Dwight Worden traveled to Ecuador in June to witness NCI’s work firsthand. During the 10-day trip, Worden, with his longtime partner, Betty Wheeler, Gayler and NCI staff, visited several NCI field research stations, beginning with a trip to Loja, the capital of Ecuador’s Loja Province, where NCI has an office.

“It’s life-changing,” said Worden, a retired attorney, who specialized in land use, environment and government law for nearly 30 years.

“To actually go in the field and see the environmental battlefront — beauti-

Photo by Charles Smith ful rainforests and critical dry forests with big swaths that have been deforested — and see NCI working right there, trying to turn the tide and preserve it, is incredible.”

Of the many NCI projects Worden has learned about over the years, one that stood out, he said, is how the organization helped the community of Catacocha rehabilitate an ancient water system that sustainably supplied water to the town and its fields.

The canals and ponds, which captured water from the nearby hills, were discovered by archaeologists but were gradually covered over by soil and left unattended for many years. NCI helped the town restore these canals to their original function, while conserving and reforesting the forested watershed areas that are the water source for the irrigation system.

Until this project, which began in 2012, the rural farming community did not have sustainable agriculture.

“It’s truly grass-roots, which is why they call it Nature and Culture,” Worden said.

But NCI has even larger goals. The organization aims to save 20 million acres by the year 2020.

“We feel this is the defining issue of our time,” Gayler said. “But we can’t grow without more funding.”

The organization works in 15 regions. It costs NCI about $50,000 annually to open and operate a regional office, Gayler said.

Over the next few years, the organization aims to triple the territory it covers,

Photo by Charles Smith extending from southern Colombia through Ecuador and Peru to Bolivia. To accomplish this, NCI hopes to establish 45 new regional offices while building the capacities of its existing ones.

“If you believe that life on Earth is important, begin now to conserve it,” said Gayler, noting that according to current projections, the world is losing 2.5 percent of its rainforests every year.

“We have a time limit,” added NCI president Swift, a Solana Beach resident and environmental lawyer who joined the staff in 2003. For more than three decades, he has worked to improve land and resource conservation and environmental policy, working with more than 50 groups in 12 countries.

“We’re trying to save one of the most important resources on the planet.”

The Andes-Amazon region of Latin America is a global hotspot for biodiversity, making it a top priority for conservation.

Not only is it home to an extraordinary array of plants and animals, but the region is also critical to the planet’s life-support systems, including the natural cycles that produce and renew air, water and climate.

In recent decades, however, the tropical and dry forests of Latin America have withered under pressure from farming and logging.

“Everybody has a sense of community,” Worden said. “For some people, their sense of community ends at their front door. For Ivan and NCI, it’s the whole world.

“People need to take a look at their personal sense of community and recognize that it really should be the world. What goes on in Ecuador and South America is directly related to their quality of life, and the quality of life for their children and grandchildren.”

Easter Seals SC to launch Early Head Start programs in SB, Encinitas

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Low-income families will soon have more early-childhood education opportunities in North San Diego County.

Easter Seals Southern California recently received a $2.1 million federal grant to operate new Early Head Start child care centers, in partnership with local child care providers.

“We’re looking to partner with child care agencies to expand and enhance the services that are currently being given to infants and toddlers,” said Betty Reckard, vice president of child development centers at Easter Seals Southern California, which serves more than 6,000 children and adults with autism, developmental disabilities or other special needs.

With the grant, Easter Seals Southern California plans to launch Early Head Start programs in the cities of Escondido, Poway, Ramona, Borrego Springs, Encinitas and Solana Beach to offer new services for 168 infants and toddlers. The nonprofit aims to start the programs in the next six months.

“Early Head Start provides a really strong foundation for infants and toddlers,” Reckard said. “Because about 90 percent of a child’s brain develops during the first five years of their life, we’re really promoting both Early Head Start and Head Start together.”

Early Head Start and Head Start provide programs for children from infancy to age 5.

Head Start programs serve ages 3 to 5, while Early Head Start serves infants and toddlers, focusing on social and emotional development, gross and fine motor skills, cognitive skills, and language development.

“Optimally, we want children to be enrolled in our Early Head Start program and transition into our Head Start program,” Reckard said. “In both programs, we’re helping children grow and develop so they can be successful later in life.”

Easter Seals Southern California has three San Diego County-based Head Start centers serving 280 preschool children.

The Solana Beach center is at St. Leo Mission. Encinitas has two centers, one off Coast Highway 101 and another at Encinitas Boulevard and Rancho Santa Fe Road. The nonprofit also provides support to more than 600 children and their families in the Inland Empire and Ventura.

Easter Seals Southern California opened all three North County centers in September 2014. The sites offer a variety of services, including early education, health screenings, social and emotional health, nutrition, social services, and services for children with disabilities.

“I think it is very exciting to be able to play in such a famous conJoo Seung Kim cert hall,” said Joo Seung before the performance, “and I believe that there will be a lot of talented students who will be able to create music alongside each other. I am honored to not only be chosen as a finalist in the Honors Performance Series, but to be given the chance to play at Carnegie Hall, a prestigious venue.”

According to Program Director Morgan Smith, “Being selected to the Honors Performance Series is something each finalist should be extremely proud of accomplishing. We process more than 10,000 nominations annually, selecting only the most talented performers applying on an international level. Working with these conductors and performing at Carnegie Hall is a once-in-a-lifetime experience that these student musicians never forget.”

Joo Seung studied music for four years and is a member of the Wind Symphony and Sinfonia Orchestra at the San Diego Youth Symphony. He participates in the Academy of Music and Art for Special Education — San Diego Chapter, the Young Musicians Concert to support the GEH Homeless Shelter, and is the clarinetist at KUMC of San Diego Church.

He was also a 2014 Showcase Program Concerto Competition Finalist at the San Diego Youth Symphony and performed in the California State Junior High School Honor Band in 2013 and 2014.

Define yourself by your own metrics, says Graham; it’s the first step to success

BY CATHARINE L. KAUFMAN When Stedman Graham, Jr. sauntered into the crowded lecture hall on Feb. 11 at Torrey Pines High School, parents and teachers took notice of his presence even before he spoke. The globetrotting educator and motivational speaker proceeded to share inspiring and informative ideas about his Nine-Step Success Process, some of which evolved from his life experiences.

Stedman takes his mission — molding followers into leaders by changing the way people think and view themselves — to high schools, colleges and universities, as well as corporations, professional groups and community organizations.

The core of his talk is to enlighten listeners through the metaphorical journey outlined in his self-help book, “Identity Passport to Freedom.� It starts with Step 1: Gaining a deep and intimate understanding of oneself (one’s identity), which he calls “self-mastery.�

According to Stedman, we must find our life calling and define ourselves by our personal metrics — not by the labels imposed on us by the outside world, and that includes our gender, race, title or job and our relationships.

He talks about how difficult it is to maintain his own independent identity because of his longtime relationship with media mogul Oprah Winfrey. Still, Stedman has managed to carve out his niche, and that includes entrepreneur; CEO of S. Graham & Associates, a Chicago-based educational marketing and consulting firm; author of a dozen selfhelp books; Huffington Post columnist; and orator.

He speaks at educational institutes because he believes it’s never too early to show young people the importance of developing leadership qualities rather than remaining followers.

Stedman is on a Live Sonima Tour, jetting to 80 high schools around the country to promote his leadership mes-

tunein

sage to thousands of students. The Sonima Foundation, based in Encinitas, has the mission of encouraging healthy lifestyles for students in mind and body.

Growing up in Middle Township, N.J., Stedman confessed he had low self-esteem, thanks in part to a local shopkeeper who taunted him and defied him to go to college and earn a diploma.

This became the driving force that inspired Stedman to embrace Step 2: Create your vision. He said people must become rainmakers, with fresh ideas and meaningful goals that propel them forward and enhance their socio-economic development. Step 2 resulted in Stedman earning his academic stripes, a master’s in education from Ball State University.

Along the journey to self-identity and freedom, Stedman believes that “love,� the most powerful word on the planet, defines everything, including the passion that drives you. He called love the center of development and the universal magnet that attracts positive energy and success.

A group of eight participants had a “love fest� competition that night to see who could rattle off the most things they loved in 30 seconds. The winner conjured up 24. Most competitors cherished people — beloved family and friends, followed by pets, nature, a fine glass of wine, and a good session of retail therapy.

One way of achieving Step 5 — stepping out of your comfort zone by confronting fears and taking risks — comes by expressing, acknowledging and accepting love.

According to Stedman, we all share a common denominator: 24 hours a day in which to be productive and achieve our goals and visions. Alas, most of us get stuck in daily habits that prevent us from thinking. This disconnect causes our actions to be misaligned with our thoughts, as we stumble through life as myopic followers rather than as insightful leaders.

Let the conversation begin: End-of-life discussions are important, say doctors

BY JOE TASH As a medical student and later a physician, Donald Ritt was surrounded by a culture that prides itself on prolonging the lives of its patients. “All I learned along the way was to cure and save lives, and ‘Nobody dies on my shift,’� said Ritt, who practiced as a gastroenterologist for 45 years, including a stint as chief of staff at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla.

That changed for Ritt five years ago when, at age 75, he launched a palliative care program at Scripps, which worked with some 2,000 patients in its first three years.

Palliative care, according to Ritt and his colleague, Karl Steinberg, a geriatrician who cares for patients in nursing homes, is a medical sub-specialty focused on reducing suffering and improving quality of life, rather than curative treatment. “As a society, we have a great deal of difficulty approaching death,� said Ritt, who is now retired and speaks on end-of-life issues to homeowner associations in North County. “We’ve learned that some of the life-sustaining systems are really not addressing quality (of life). End of life needs to be quality of life as well.� “It’s a matter of education and conversation. People have to let their loved ones know what they want and what they don’t want, so they’re not stuck on a ventilator for months on end, wishing they could die but not being able to articulate that to anybody,� said Steinberg, who along with his medical practice is president of the board of the Coalition for Compassionate Care of California.

The two physicians recently met with a reporter in their quest to educate the public on end-of-life issues, and about ways for people to make sure their desires regarding end-oflife care are known by their families and doctors.

One important document, they said, is called the “Phy-

Dr. Donald Ritt

sician Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment,� or POLST. The document is signed by the patient and his or her doctor. It spells out what treatment is desired if the patient stops breathing and has no pulse.

The POLST form can be downloaded from the CCCC website (coalitionccc.org), and may also be available at doctor’s offices. It is especially important for those nearing the end of their lives, said Ritt and Steinberg, and should be posted in a prominent place in the home, such as on the refrigerator, and also given to the person’s doctor and family members.

Another document that works in conjunction with the POLST, they said, is the advance directive, which designates who patients want to make medical decisions if they are incapacitated.

Palliative care is separate from — but related to — hos-

pice care, said Ritt and Steinberg. In order to be eligible for hospice care, they said, patients must have a prognosis of six months or less to live, and decide to forgo further life-prolonging or curative treatment.

Palliative care, on the other hand, is designed to relieve suffering and improve quality of life, and can be an adjunct to curative treatment, they said.

Observation of palliative care programs, said Ritt, has shown that patients with life-threatening illnesses such as cancer actually live longer when their suffering is relieved. “The whole approach of palliative care is to relieve suffering, and in that capacity, patients do better,� Ritt said.

Palliative care is a team-based approach, said Steinberg, and includes medication for pain, nausea, anxiety and other symptoms, as well as counseling and spiritual support for those who want it. “It’s really about what’s important to that person, what makes their life meaningful,� said Steinberg. “For a lot of people, that can have religious or spiritual overtones.�

Death is a taboo subject in our culture, said the two physicians, but it really shouldn’t be. “It’s like hitting the finish line. We’re all on that bullet train,� said Steinberg. “We don’t have to think about it constantly, but it’s always a part of all of our lives.�

From page to stage: Local dancers to present ‘Giving Tree’ at Del Mar Library

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although Shel Silverstein’s “The Giving Tree” was first published more than 50 years ago, the classic children’s book continues to influence culture in literature, music, film, and now, dance.

Inspired by the book, co-choreographers and dancers Erin Jelacic and Charlene Penner are taking the story from the page to the stage in their new piece, “The Giving Tree: a Dance Experience.” The pair will premiere the dance on March 13 at the Del Mar Library.

“To me, it’s a book with a profound lesson of what it means to give and take, and how we create relationships,” Penner said. “It really lent itself to the way that Erin and I dance.”

The duo met at a choreographer’s symposium in 2013, where they discovered their shared love of contact improvisation, a dance technique in which points of physical contact provide the starting point for exploration through movement improvisation.

Since then, they have formed a dance collaborative called Tumbleweed, mostly dancing for fun and in private.

Their first public performance will take place at the Del Mar Library.

“It’s very genuine, very organic and very truthful, because it’s nothing that’s been set or memorized,” Jelacic said.

“You’re really tuning into your environment, your partner and yourself.”

“Like a tumbleweed, it’s wild and it goes wherever it goes,” Penner added. “A dance makes its own path between us.”

Jelacic has been a choreographer in San Diego for more than five years. She teaches at Center Stage Children’s The-

ater and San Diego Danceworks. In 2010, she and another dance partner, Drew Ornelas, established the performance group and production company Dark Horse Dance Productions.

Penner has worked in the San Diego dance community since 1999, specializing in butoh, an avant-garde performance art that originated in Japan. She also works with San Diego-based Wheelchair Dancers Organization, which offers a wheelchair dance program for people with disabilities.

“Tumbleweed grew out of the connection that we have and our willingness to explore,” Penner said.

Also sharing a love of literature, the two friends often swap books. After Penner borrowed “The Giving Tree” from Jelacic, they began working on an interpretative piece.

“Every time we do the piece, it’s never the same,” Penner said. “It’s a semblance. It holds certain energetic qualities, but we don’t decide, ‘Let’s do it this way or that way,’ it always just happens. And every time, it’s a wonderful exchange.”

“The story is just so universal,” said Jelacic, adding that “The Giving Tree” was one of her favorite childhood books.

“We just knew it was a perfect thing to express through dance.”

The special after-hours event begins at 6 p.m. March 13 at the Del Mar Library, 1309 Camino del Mar in Del Mar. After the performance, the audience will be invited to participate in a read-aloud of the book.

“It’s a story that transcends time and generations,” Jelacic said. “I think it’s something that anybody can enjoy.”

SD Jewish Academy student earns elite full tuition scholarship to Northeastern San Diego Jewish Academy senior Dan Gorodezky recently learned that he was among the fewer than 0.5 percent of applicants to Northeastern University that were also accepted to their University Scholars Program.

“USP is a full-tuition scholarship program,” said Steve Kahn, SDJA’s dean of academic affairs. “It is among the most intellectually bold and distinguished undergraduate scholarship programs in the counDan Gorodezky try.”

“Dan is one of only 189 students who were selected from more than 50,000 applicants,” said Amy Mitchell, regional director of admission at Northeastern University. “These students have not only distinguished themselves academically but have displayed an entrepreneurial approach to study, achievement, and life.”

Added Kahn, “In addition to preparing our graduates to be leaders of integrity, social responsibility and architects of change, we also inspire them to embrace creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurial thinking in their learning.”

Northeastern University typically only admits 15 percent to 20 percent of those who apply. Their University Scholars Program is even more rigorous. Each year, the university invites a cohort of the most outstanding high school students from across the United States — and the world — to come to Northeastern, awarding them a fulltuition scholarship. The University Scholars Program, however, offers much more than financial underwriting.

“We recognize that these high-achieving students want to explore, to dream, and to discover and our program is designed to help each Scholar craft a unique path,” said Northeastern’s Mitchell. “With broad access to the resources of the entire University, we provide each Northeastern University Scholar with the opportunity to design a tailored program that potentially spans colleges, departments, and global partner institutions to address each scholar’s unique academic goals and career aspirations, and advance their entrepreneurial ideas.”

Gorodezky said that he hadn’t been expecting to hear from Northeastern, at least not for a while.

“I received an e-mail from Northeastern last week and was a little surprised because I didn’t expect to hear back until late March,” he said. “At first I was very happy to see that I had been admitted, and then, as I continued reading, I realized I had also been admitted into their University Scholars Program, with full tuition included, and had also been invited to be flown into Boston to visit. ‘Happily surprised’ would be an understatement.”

Gorodezky has attended SDJA since kindergarten, and feels he’s well-prepared for whatever may come his way.

The school “has always offered me plenty of opportunities for academic and extracurricular involvement,” he said. “Beyond the content-based material that I’ve learned in class, SDJA has encouraged me to develop critical thinking skills, an ability to interact and cooperate with others, and a set of moral and ethical values. Ultimately, I believe my education at SDJA has prepared me for success in all facets of life.”

Gorodezky is leaning toward economics and/or computer science as a major. His

high school teachers have encouraged him to follow his passion.

“I have always found an incredibly supportive community of peers and teachers here at SDJA,” said Gorodezky. “I’m grateful to have a lot of opportunities here that I likely wouldn’t have had elsewhere and have also enjoyed the ability to develop close relationships with teachers, who are passionate and eager to advance your learning.”

Gorodezky still has to make up his mind as to where he will study, as Northeastern is just one of many options potentially available to him.

“So far, I’ve been accepted into Northeastern, Vanderbilt University and Yale,” said Gorodezky. “I should be hearing back from Brown, UCLA, UC Berkeley, UCSB, Dartmouth, Duke, Harvard, Michigan, Princeton, Stanford, UT Austin, UPenn, and USC in April.”

Grauer teacher part of historic 1965 Alabama march with King

BY KRISTINA HOUCK When students at The Grauer School in Encinitas learn about the civil rights movement, they don’t just read their textbooks for a history lesson. They talk to teacher Bill Harman.

Harman was 25 on March 25, 1965, when he walked the last 10 miles from Selma to the Alabama state capital of Montgomery, following the footsteps of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. He was among hundreds of white clergy who traveled to Alabama for the historic march.

“It was very much a clergy-led movement,” said Harman. “King was a pastor, and everybody connected with that. Christians and Jews, Protestants and Catholics — they were all involved.”

A little more than two weeks earlier, Harman, like many Americans, had watched news reports from March 7, 1965, or “Bloody Sunday,” when white law enforcement officers brutally attacked peaceful protesters who wanted to exercise their constitutional right to vote.

At the time, Harman had graduated from Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio, and was attending the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago. Inspired by another student who participated in the following march on March 9 called “Turnaround Tuesday,” Harman recruited five fellow students to join him in the third march.

The 54-mile march to the state capitol began March 21 in Selma.

“I was a little bit frightened — we all were. We didn’t know what was going to happen,” Harman recalled. “But justice had to be done. The injustice had gone on far too long.”

With faith, Harman faced his fears and

took a train with his peers from Chicago to Montgomery. While aboard, they were harassed by other passengers and called “Yankee trash.”

“We just had to ignore them,” said Harman, noting he was dressed in his clerical collar.

The group joined the march on March 25 about 10 miles outside of Montgomery.

By the time they reached the state capitol building, there were about 25,000 marchers, Harman recalled.

“In those years, considering the U.S. was half the size it is now, that was a big march,” Harman said. “It was impressive to see so many people.”

The 50th anniversary of the historic Selma-to-Montgomery voting rights march is next month. President Barack Obama and other officials are expected to commemorate the occasion, which will include stops in Birmingham, Selma and Montgomery from March 6-8.

Although it’s been five decades, Harman described the details as if it were yesterday.

“We were marching for justice,” he said.

“We were marching for change. We knew we were right, and we knew the Southern culture was wrong. It had to be changed.”

Harman recalled those in opposition lining the streets, holding Confederate flags and spitting on the marchers. Alabama Gov. George Wallace, who is remembered for his Southern populist and segregationist views, was also unwelcoming.

In addition, Harman recollected marching alongside the late Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel, a leader in the civil rights movement who was among the front row of marchers with King. And, of course, he viv-

Bill Harman at rear left in the Selma train station.

“We were all in solidarity,” said Harman, who later joined Cesar Chavez in the historic farm workers’ march from Delano to the California state capitol in Sacramento.

Now 75, Harman has two adult sons and four grandchildren. He works as a teacher ambassador at The Grauer School, where he’s taught for about 12 years. He is also a

chaplain for palliative care at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas.

For 40 years, Harman was a pastor of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. He served as pastor of Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Encinitas for 25 years until retiring about nine years ago.

In recent years, Harman and his family visited the Center for Civil and Human Rights in Atlanta. His grandchildren toured an exhibition about Jim Crow laws, amazed at how much the country has changed. Like the students at The Grauer School, they asked their grandfather questions about his first-hand experience walking with King and thousands of others in the last of the Selma-to-Montgomery marches, which led to the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, landmark legislation that prohibited racial discrimination in voting.

“A lot has changed in 50 years, especially in the South,” Harman said. “It was an important turning point in our society. I think we did make the world a better place.”

Paseo proposal. Our community on the other hand, has a great deal to be proud of.

On Monday, hundreds upon hundreds of Carmel Valley residents took the time to travel downtown to attend the City Council hearing on One Paseo. While it is clear the City Council’s allegiance to Kilroy over the community was already a fait accompli, seeing the line of people opposing One Paseo wrapping around City Hall was an inspiring sight — an impressive demonstration of how much people care about this community. From the get-go, residents organized a massive grass-roots effort dedicated to defending Carmel Valley’s zoning regulations and community plan, and that is something to be proud of.

What I’m not proud of is our City Council. It’s a sad day when the power of money speaks louder than the voices of the people a government supposedly represents. The City Council voted in favor of One Paseo in spite of the fact that every community planning board in the area rejected the current proposal, along with the City Councils of both Del Mar and Solana Beach, and the school districts who will be impacted most directly.

One Paseo breaks the rules of the community plan, and it calls for rezoning the site to urban density, which our City Council has now approved. If during the course of development Kilroy decides to increase the density even further, it can do so without additional hearings. Money has spoken once again. Unfortunately, this time it’s here in Carmel Valley.

Kim Perl

Government ‘of the people’? Hardly Government of the people, by the people, for the people? What a joke. I would love to see people marching on City Hall for this blatant disregard for the will of the people. The only thing City Hall thinks about is raises for themselves and a nice fat pension to retire on.

Jim Cronin

One Paseo zoning exception will endanger children at Solana Highlands I am a 27-year resident of Carmel Valley and would like to share one specific unmitigated, and unstudied, One Paseo traffic issue that will result in the endangerment of children ages 5 to 11 attending Solana Highlands elementary school on High Bluff Road.

The EIR prepared for the proposed extensive zoning/Community Plan changes required to accommodate the 3.5X current zoning-size limits of the proposed Kilroy Realty ($6 billion company) One Paseo project indicates plans for the addition of a second left-turn lane from eastbound Del Mar Heights Road to northbound High Bluff Drive.

This second left-turn lane will generate substantial increased traffic through our neighborhood as the result of the heavy traffic and congestion which is certain to result on Del Mar Heights Road (projected traffic will increase to 25,000 cars/day vs. 6,000 at present, plus more stoplights to further slow/control traffic).

The EIR did not address this possibility, even though requested. This increased traffic through our neighborhood will result because homeowners just east of our neighborhood (east of El Camino Real), near Torrey Pines High School, will use High Bluff as their primary route into and out of their neighborhood vs. Del Mar Heights Road to avoid traffic congestion. We have seen this on the busiest County Fair attendance days (Del Mar Heights Road becomes congested because of parking at Torrey Pines High School).

Why this overflow traffic will endanger children: As additional traffic travels north on High Bluff, the first intersection you come to is where Solana Highlands elementary school is located. The increased traffic will create a dangerous environment for these children and result in cries for stoplights and speed bumps. God help us all if even one child gets hurt.

The increased traffic and likely need to install stoplights all along High Bluff will forever destroy the character, safety and home values in this neighborhood. Importantly, the current Community Plan prohibits making High Bluff Road a thoroughfare. But if City Council grants Kilroy Realty such rights to change our Community/Neighborhood Plan, all 1,100 homeowners must suffer the consequences, as well as parents with children attending Solana Highlands and, most important, the safety of the children themselves will be impacted.

Lets hope our City Council does the right thing and not grant the massive exceptions to existing zoning-size laws and Community Plans for the proposed oversized One Paseo.

To Your Health: Women and heart disease: How much do you know?

BY PAUL TEIRSTEIN, M.D. It’s the leading cause of death among women, and it’s not breast cancer or any other type of cancer. It’s heart disease, and it takes the life of one woman in the United States every minute, according to the American Heart Association. Yet many women worry less about heart disease than cancer— even though nearly twice as many women die from heart disease than all forms of cancer combined.

Women may underestimate their risk because of the common misconception that heart disease primarily affects men. While it is true that more men than women die from heart disease, the death rate among men has steadily declined during the past 25 years. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said for women. In fact, women age 45 and older are more likely than men to die within a year of their first heart attack, according to the American Heart Association.

So why does heart disease affect men and women differently?

There are a number of reasons why heart disease affects the sexes differently, and we are learning more about them every day: • Hormones, especially estrogen, may play a role in protecting women from heart disease since a woman’s risk for heart disease increases after menopause.

• Heart size and strength may be another factor. The right ventricle of the heart is responsible for pumping blood to the lungs to collect oxygen. If the right ventricle becomes weakened, the risk of heart problems increases. According to a study reported in Circulation: Journal of the American Heart Association, the right ventricle is smaller in women than in men, so it may be more vulnerable.

• Research also tends to overlook gender differences.

Women traditionally have been underrepresented in research studies, and cardiovascular clinical trials report sex-specific results only about 25 percent of the time. As a result, it can be challenging to determine how gender may influence results.

Do women have different heart attack symptoms from men?

Yes. Both men and women may feel chest pain or break out in a cold sweat during a heart attack, but that is where most of the similarities end. The differences are most evident in the symptoms leading up to the heart attack and women tend to have subtler symptoms. These may begin up to a month before a heart attack and include: • Fatigue or weakness

• Pain, pressure, or tightness in the center of the chest • Pain that spreads to the upper body, neck or jaw • Unusual sweating, nausea or vomiting • Sudden dizziness • Shortness of breath • Problems sleeping Because many of these symptoms can be associated with common illnesses such as the flu, women are more likely to brush them off or assume something less serious is going on. If you experience these symptoms, don’t ignore them. Play it safe and call 911. The sooner you get treatment, the greater the chances of recovery.

How can women lower their risk of heart disease?

From making smart lifestyle choices to working with their doctors, there are a number of steps women can take to reduce their risk.

You hear a lot about eating a “heart-healthy” low-fat diet and managing your cholesterol levels, but what does that really mean?

There are two types of cholesterol: LDL and HDL. • LDL stands for lowdensity lipoprotein and is the “bad” cholesterol that can clog your arteries and increase your risk of heart disease. Saturated fats like those in beef and full-fat dairy can increase LDL cholesterol, while polyunsaturated fats from plants like avocados and walnuts can help lower it.

• HDL cholesterol, or high-density lipoprotein, is the “good” cholesterol that helps remove LDL cholesterol and protect the arteries.

• Build your diet around foods that help keep HDL high and LDL low, and talk to your doctor about how often to have your cholesterol levels checked.

Other helpful tips: • Exercise can also help lower LDL cholesterol and strengthen your heart. Aim to get about 30 minutes of physical activity most days of the week.

• Obviously, avoid tobacco smoke.

• Finally, partner with your physician. Follow his or her recommendations for diet, exercise and medications, if needed, to help ensure your heart is as healthy as possible.

Falcons extend success at Senior Night basketball game

After an emotional Senior Night celebration last Wednesday, six seniors led the No. 1-ranked Torrey Pines Boys’ Basketball team (26-2, 9-0) to a 78-35 win over a stubborn Rancho Bernardo squad who came within 6 points of beating Torrey Pines just two weeks ago.

The Senior Night game was played at Torrey Pines High School in front of a large crowd there to honor seniors from the Torrey Pines boys and girls basketball teams and the Torrey Pines cheer squad.

The boys’ basketball program has been led this season by six seniors: Dominic Hovasse, Timmy Saunders, Marek Sullivan, Jack Beach, Connor Milmoe and David Glaser.

Going undefeated through their freshman and JV seasons, the seniors have now brought that success to a 26-2 record at the varsity level, enhancing the reputation of the legendary Torrey Pines basketball program under 18-year Head Coach John Olive. “I am very proud of our seniors,� said

Olive. “They brought tremendous energy on an emotional night, and they are all special young men with very bright futures.�

The Senior Night ceremony was punctuated by the surprise return of senior Point Guard Dominic Hovasse’s father, Tom Hovasse, who flew in from Japan to surprise his son and attend the festivities. The elder Hovasse, who played college basketball for Penn State and played and coached professional basketball in Japan, spends considerable there as a coach for the Japanese Women’s National Basketball team. According to Dominic Hovasse, “It was an emotional night, with my dad flying back and walking out with me on my senior night. I’ve been playing with most of these guys for over five years. It’s sad to see it almost come to an end, but we’re excited to try to end the season on a high note.�

While the game against Rancho Bernardo got off to a furious start with the score tied 10-10 midway through the first quarter,

Torrey Pines quickly asserted itself and handily won the Palomar league match.

Leading the team in scoring against Rancho Bernardo were Hovasse (15 points), Saunders (14 points), Strong (14 points), Beach (12 points), Sullivan (9 points), Milmoe (5 points), and Glaser (3 points).

Extending their winning streak to 16 games, the win brought Torrey Pines to 9-0 in Palomar League (other Palomar League teams besides Rancho Bernardo are Canyon Crest Academy, Mt. Carmel, Westview and Poway). Torrey Pines already clinched the Palomar League title on Feb. 13 after a 74-49 win over Poway. CIF Playoffs in the highest Open Division for Torrey Pines will begin on Friday, Feb. 27, where Torrey Pines will have the No. 1 seed. Their opponent will be announced shortly after completion of Palomar League Play and the game will be at Torrey Pines High School at 7 p.m.

The Torrey Pines Boys Basketball team is

ranked No. 1 in the San Diego Section (Division 1) according to MaxPreps and No. 1 in the Union Tribune Poll over Foothills Christian, La Costa Canyon and a host of other very good teams in San Diego. Torrey Pines gained the No. 1 ranking after a decisive 26-point win on Jan. 19 over rival La Costa Canyon, who previously held the top ranking in the San Diego Section.

Torrey Pines’ seniors all cited the big win over rival La Costa Canyon as one of the season highlights to date. Senior Timmy Saunders said, “It was a huge win, and a big momentum shift for our season. We have been undefeated ever since, and we hope to close out the season with a CIF title.�

Torrey Pines has not gone unnoticed outside of San Diego County as it is ranked No. 14 in Southern California, according to MaxPreps. Visit www.torreypinesbasketball. com.

TPHS football star heading to San Diego State

BY ROB LEDONNE When Jack Bailey officially committed to play for the San Diego State Aztec Football team earlier this month, it was the culmination of a lifelong dream.

“My grandpa went to San Diego State, and we’ve been going to games together since I was 5,” explained the 6-foot-3 Bailey on a recent Tuesday evening. “That really got me interested in football. When they told me they were offering a full ride scholarship, they brought in my entire family, including my grandpa, and we were in awe. To get an offer is pretty insane. We were all looking at each other with big eyes and wide mouths.”

Bailey, a senior at Torrey Pines High School, stood out on a team full of talented Falcon players as a wide receiver — a position he’ll continue to play as an Aztec.

“In middle school, I played quarterback, but there’s something about the wide receiver position I’ve always liked,” noted Bailey.

“I love going one on one with people. I’m competitive, and it’s a great way to compete.”

Bailey first fell into

football thanks to encouragement from his aforementioned grandfather, as well as his father.

“My dad is the one who persuaded me into going out there and trying it out,” said Bailey. “I didn’t get very serious about it until the end of my sophomore year. I originally played basketball and was iffy about football. I wound up falling in love with the sport and thought I could do big things as a wide receiver. I also had a good sophomore season playing varsity for Torrey Pines.”

After Bailey’s promising sophomore season, he attended a passing league camp at San Diego State, which is when the powers that be within the football program, including coach Rocky Long, first took notice of his talents.

“I had a really good first day there,” remembered Bailey. “The next day they ended up offering me the chance to play for them.”

Three years later, Bailey officially joined the Aztecs’ ranks on Feb. 6, National Signing Day, and said he couldn’t be happier with his decision. “They were my very first offer and I’ve felt

loyal to them,” he said. “I’m very comfortable with my decision.”

Bailey also holds the unique distinction of being the sole San Diego-area recruit for San Diego State’s football program for 2015.

During a recent press conference, Aztecs coach Rocky Long explained that in their opinion, “There weren’t a lot of senior football players who were Division 1 caliber,” noting that Bailey was the sole exception.

For now, Bailey is on a strict training regimen before he has to report July 5 for practice. He said he will miss playing with the Falcons — a team he’s grown close with over the past few years.

“For my last game playing for Torrey Pines, I wasn’t as upset as some of my other teammates, considering I have more football to come,” Bailey said. “I’m sad I won’t be able to play with my friends in an environment like that. You go from practicing and playing with the same kids every day, to knowing I’ll never play with any of them again. It’s bittersweet.”

Already thinking about next year, Camilleri plans to continue heading the CCA Writers’ Conference until she graduates. She is proud of the fact that it is the only free writers’ conference for high school students in the country, thanks to generous sponsorship from Summa Education, Chipotle, Wells Fargo, Ranch & Coast, Hilton Garden Inn San Diego/Del Mar and Print-Net, and she hopes other companies will join in next year so even more students can have the opportunity to attend.

The students aren’t the only ones who gain so much at this event. Author James Matlack Raney posted this on his Facebook page: “Had such an amazing time at the CCA Writer’s Con yesterday. The students were unbelievably intelligent, engaged, and passionate. I also felt lucky to make new friends and meet some very successful and prominent authors, as well as catch up with good pals. Thanks so much to (volunteer) Kathy Krevat and crew for inviting me and hosting such a powerful event.

Can’t wait until next year!”

Del Mar Heights students take court at UCSD Basketball Del Mar Heights students played basketball on Feb. 21 during halftime at the UCSD basketball game against Cal State LA. Students were invited onto the court to show the skills they learned from the partnership formed by UCSD’s TeamUp and Del Mar Heights.

In a program unique to Del Mar Heights, UCSD athletes inspire children to develop their physical fitness at recess (before and during school). The athletes coordinate a wide range of activities to keep the students involved and active as they learn sportsmanship. The students look forward to starting their day with the UCSD athletes as much as the athletes do.

Scott Acton, on the cross country and track and field teams, says, “Being able to serve as role models for the kids at Del Mar Heights and get them to be more active and lead healthy lifestyles is gratifying. It’s great to go to our Team Up sessions because the kids are always so excited. To have them come up and say ‘thank you’ is exciting and fulfilling.”

Ken Grosse, the UCSD senior associate athletic director, said, “Our longtime partnership with Del Mar Heights is special and one that I think is truly mutually beneficial. The unique element of having college students mentor local youngsters is clearly positive for the school and it provides a valuable social and educational experience for our student-athletes.”

CENTER

continued from page 1

After months of debate and negotiations, the City Council in August 2013 adopted a use policy for the center that permitted no more than one private party every other weekend. It limited parties to 50 people, restricted live music and limited alcoholic beverages to two per person.

From the time the ordinance was approved to when Prop B was adopted, only four permitted events had been held at the facility. Ott pointed out that the council-approved policy was in place during the fall season, while the summer months have since been the most requested months for rentals, particularly June and August.

Prop B asked voters to repeal the city’s restrictions, which they did, by a slim margin of 72 votes.

Under the use policy, the center is available for up to two events per weekend, Friday through Sunday. Up to 100 people are allowed at events, or only 50 people if tables are used.

Live music is permitted, and beer, champagne and wine can be served. Events must, however, comply with the city’s Noise Ordinance and adhere to California’s Alcohol Beverage Control rules.

The facility costs $50 per hour for residents and $150 per hour for non-residents. A twohour minimum is required.

Scheduled events are posted in the glass display box at the front of the center, which is at 133 Pacific Ave. A list of cellphone numbers for staff members is also provided, so residents can easily contact the city regarding any problems, Ott said.

So far, there have been relatively few, Ott said. “We’ve had nothing major,” he said.

Some of the events have featured food trucks, which at first resulted in noise complaints regarding the generators used by the vehicles. Since then, the city has placed conditions on the use of food trucks, so that when generators are used, they are pointed toward the community center instead of toward the neighborhood.

The city also fired the private security company it contracted with after a security guard failed to show up at an event. The city has since contracted with another company, Ott said.

“Other than that, we haven’t really had any problems,” he said. “It’s worked out pretty well.”

COACH

continued from page 3

dents of Kingsbury’s alleged behavior and meetings dating to the 2013 season with Principal Karl Mueller and then-Athletic Director Jeff Copeland.

Despite complaints throughout the 2013 season, Copeland nominated Kingsbury for “CIF Female Coach of the Year,” and she was brought back to coach a second season in 2014.

This season, four families notified Mueller of Kingsbury’s behavior via emails and faceto-face meetings. According to the parents’ documentation, at the beginning of the 2014 season, two players missed a game because of the ACT exam. When the team lost, Kingsbury texted them a message saying “thanks a lot.”

According to the complainants, players were allegedly told that they “didn’t fit in,” were personally blamed for losses, told that they were “terrible” and that they “sucked.”

There were also complaints about playing time.

Parent Kari Abulhosn said she watched as her daughter Izzy’s self-confidence and excitement about playing the sport were replaced with sadness, tears and doubting her abilities to the point where she was paralyzed on the field.

After one practice, the Abulhosns met with Kingsbury to discuss their daughter’s treatment and were told her comments were taken out of context. The Abulhosns allege that Kingsbury said she had difficulty figuring Izzy out because their daughter “has no personality.”

“Her one connection with CCA was stripped away,” Kari Abulhosn said. “I’m angry that my child was harmed from a school activity, a school we thought was safe.”

After the fifth field hockey practice where her daughter Madison came home crying, Sandi McIntyre met with school administration. She said Madison did not want to play for Kingsbury any longer, but she refused to let the coach “win” by driving her to quit.

“It has been our experience CCA only wants to preach about bullying, but doesn’t want to do anything about it,” McIntyre said. “One child being bullied by a coach is one too many.”

As this is a personnel issue, said CCA Principal Mueller, he could not comment on the specific steps taken to support the school’s student athletes.

“In all aspects of our school community, bullying is unacceptable and will not be tolerated,” Mueller said. “As an academic institution committed to continuous improvement and growth, we are working closely with our staff (and in collaboration with the Positive Coaching Alliance) to focus on nurturing and fostering a positive experience for all of our student-athletes.”

Parent Rajy Abulhosn said he was stunned that their concerns were brushed off as some kind of misunderstanding.

“CCA has chosen to ignore the numerous witnessed and verified incidents in which the coach has humiliated players and crushed their spirit and self-confidence,” he told the school board. “We are here in front of you to show our daughters that standing up to bullying does not have to lead to victim-blaming and indifference.”

As Kingsbury attested, some current and former players and parents have rallied to support her, including Doug Rafner, whose daughter, Miranda, was a freshman on the varsity squad this year.

“I can’t comment on what the others experienced, but Miranda loved being on the field hockey team,” Rafner said. “It was a great athletic experience for her, and she enjoyed the coach.”

Schmitt said that over the past two years, he has received up to 300 e-mails in support of Kingsbury.

“Does it really matter how many girls had a great experience?” asked Kari Abulhosn. “A bully doesn’t bully everyone. Does that make what happened to our children any less important?”

ONE PASEO

NORTH COAST - FEBRUARY 26, 2015 - PAGE A29

continued from page 1

The council’s decision to approve One Paseo came after four community planning groups (Carmel Valley, Torrey Hills, Torrey Pines and Del Mar Mesa) rejected the project.

The neighboring cities of Del Mar and Solana Beach, and the Solana Beach School District, also did not favor the fullsize One Paseo and supported the reduced plan.

“I’m disappointed. I feel like the planning boards don’t matter,” said Debbie Lokanc, a Carmel Valley Community Planning Board member. “It’s just such a slap in the face to the planning board members who dedicate a lot of time to making our community a better place to live. I would like to thank Marti Emerald and Sherri Lightner for listening to the voices of the people who live in this area.”

Lightner also said she was disappointed that the developers could not work with the community to achieve a solution that is acceptable to the entire community.

“Using ‘spot zoning’ to shoehorn a project that is three times too big for the site strikes a blow against the community planning process,” Lightner said. “The EIR (Environmental Impact Report) is fatally flawed; the scale of this project creates unmitigated issues and the project will not conform to the surrounding community.”

Lightner and Emerald did attempt a motion to approve a reduced scale One Paseo project, but it failed in a 6-3 vote.

Councilmember Myrtle Cole was part of the support for the reduced One Paseo.

“It’s important to be business-friendly and preserve community character and quality of life, and I want to see a project like this succeed,” Cole said. “The jobs generated and economic impacts are great, but what concerns me is the amount and level of the opposition … I support an alternative that is respectful of the community process.”

After Councilmember Chris Cate, David Alvarez and Todd Gloria proposed the conditions that affordable housing be on site and that the adaptive control system be a condition of the project, Cole changed her position and said Kilroy’s willingness to address those issues would allow her to support approving One Paseo.

“One Paseo passed because a majority of the council listened to facts and set aside fear-fueled hyperbole. The ma-

jority demonstrated tremendous leadership,” said Janette Littler, a Carmel Valley resident and a longtime supporter of One Paseo. “Unless lawsuits from Donahue Schriber prevent it, Carmel Valley residents should reap the benefits quickly … I am excited about Carmel Valley’s vibrant future and hope to see my neighbors — on both sides of this issue — on One Paseo’s Main Street soon.”

For Monday’s marathon meeting, a line formed outside City Hall long before the council chamber doors opened at 12:30 p.m. Opponents wore matching red T-shirts and carried signs. A large representation from the Carpenters Local 547 union wore matching orange shirts to signify their support of One Paseo and the 3,800 construction jobs the project will create.

Ken Farinsky of the opposition group What Price Main Street came downtown wheeling a cart loaded with thick binders filled with the 8,000 signatures against the project.

Farinsky said that his group is not NIMBYs and not anti-development.

He was hoping the council could get behind a smaller mixed-use project on the site, even if it meant sacrificing the extra $6 million in “extraordinary benefits” proposed by Kilroy.

“For us, the biggest benefit of all would be having a project we can live with,” Farinsky said.

City staff recommended approval of the project — noting that the applicant had addressed the 11 conditions mandated by the San Diego Planning Commission. Some of those conditions were reducing the building height from 170 feet to 150 feet and expanding the hours of the shuttle program, meant to be a proxy for the lack of public transportation in Carmel Valley.

Escobar-Eck said One Paseo has been massaged and refined over six years of community engagement, and the approved plan represented a 33 percent size reduction from the original proposal.

Both Mark Cafferty from the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation and Chanelle Hawken, the executive director of the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, expressed support for One Paseo for encourag-

ing job growth and addressing the city’s lack of housing near employment centers.

One Paseo supporters applauded the “beautiful” project as being a right choice for progress and growth, embracing a walkable community and providing more options to shop and dine.

Some residents said they were excited to have a place to walk to with their families. Resident Lawrence Schreiber said One Paseo gives Carmel Valley the heart it needs.

“I submit that One Paseo’s heart has clogged arteries,” countered Carmel Valley resident Marcia Blackmon, noting that Kilroy should not get credit for reducing a project 30 percent when the project is still three times larger than the land is entitled for.

The council heard from residents of East Bluff, directly across the street from One Paseo. Julie Hamilton from the East Bluff Community Association said that the impact to their neighborhood is monumental and will create a “channel wall of buildings,” not to mention the loss of 19 mature trees on their side of the street.

According to Kilroy’s engineer John Leppert, although 19 trees will be removed, they plan to create a sidewalk lined with trees on both sides that will “greatly enhance the pedestrian experience.” He said the 19 trees would be replaced and 29 new trees will be added.

Carol Klein, an East Bluff resident, said that she supported One Paseo because it is the latest in urban planning and development.

“You have heard from a lot of people against this project, but I represent the 30,000 silent residents who haven’t joined up with the $1.2 million effort by Del Mar Highlands to oppose this project,” Klein said.

Many comments centered on gridlock and greenhouse gas emissions, high-rises and high traffic. Residents worried about being stuck in “traffic jail” and feared that the proposed mitigations would not be enough. As Del Mar’s Felicity Mudgett said, it’s like “mitigating traffic Ebola with synchronized shots of Pepto-Bismol.”

Leppert said that the opponents stating that One Paseo will generate 23,000 new trips totally ignore the benefit of a mixeduse project: that not all average daily trips are the same and not all of the trips will be on the road at the same time.

The $3 million in private funding for the adaptive traffic-signal control system will be put to work at 42 intersections throughout Carmel Valley, he said, As the “choke point” is considered the freeway onramp, which will back up traffic once cars hit the ramp meters, Kilroy has entered into a memorandum of understanding with Caltrans to support the agency making improvements and mitigations within their jurisdiction.

The “spot zoning” referred to by Lightner reflected the new zoning that will be applied to One Paseo.

“You might not be able to stop the San Diego Chargers from becoming the LA Chargers, but you can stop San Diego communities from becoming LA communities,” said resident Steve Howe, noting that changing the zoning will open the floodgates for all

TEACHERS

future developers in the city.

After the meeting, Ben Snyder waited for the elevator to take him down 12 floors from council chambers. Snyder, who has lived in Carmel Valley since 1984, said he was “disgusted” by the City Council’s decision. As others expressed during the hearing, he said he worries about the “dangerous” precedent set by the rezone, which allows a wide range of commercial services — the only things not allowed to be built would be a TV or radio station or a mortuary.

Kilroy representatives, however, said they are looking forward to the enormous potential of One Paseo — to show how a smart-growth project can work, to create thousands of jobs and build hundreds of new homes, offer a first-of-its kind cycle track and give the community its Main Street.

“This is the growth the city needs to experience,” Escobar-Eck said. “Change is difficult. But this is the right project in the right place at the right time.”

One Paseo opponents gathered at the corner of Del Mar Heights Road and El Camino Real Feb. 21 to peacefully protest two days before the One Paseo City Council hearing.

quests the family meet with the teacher in an attempt to resolve the issue, with a counselor or administrator present. Grove said that most of the time the issue is resolved after that meeting, but if the family is still unhappy, the administrator can step in.

A principal can decide to move the student if it is in his or her best interest, he said.

“All administrators have the latitude to make that move when they come to the conclusion that it’s appropriate,” Grove said.

Parent Anne-Katherine Pugmire, who made the request for the new policy at the Feb. 5 meeting, said she was “perplexed” by what Grove was saying.

“I feel like you’re talking about a different district,” she said. “What you’re saying is not the reality of what happened. We were told over and over again that we couldn’t change classes.”

Pugmire said she emailed all of the board members and asked to meet with them on the issue, as well as Superin-

tendent Rick Schmitt. She said Schmitt declined to meet with them and said his decision sent a message that when parents come to him with ideas to improve the district, he is unwilling to hear them.

Pugmire said she believes they have a solution to a district problem that will create more flexibility and educational excellence.

SDUHSD Board President Beth Hergesheimer said that she did not agree to meet with the parents because of their request to meet with all board members. She said that if all board members met with the group, it could be a de facto board meeting and a violation of the Brown Act. “I think we can have the same goal and continue to move forward on this,” Hergesheimer said.

“I think we need to be as flexible as humanly possible,” trustee John Salazar said.

He said he understood the parents’ concerns as he believes there are some “terrible” teachers in the district that can’t be removed because of tenure. If the district does, in fact, allow students to shift, he said it should be in writing, and the principals should know they have the authority to grant these moves.

Trustee Mo Muir said she wished Schmitt had met with the parents.

Schmitt said the district is very clear in its course selection guide with information about adding and dropping classes, but it is less clear on teacher change issues. He said the district would make an effort to communicate more effectively with parents and students and ensure that the change process is “crystal clear.” Schmitt said he would return to the board with updates regarding the situation.

In response to Salazar’s comment that there are bad teachers the district can’t do anything about, Grove said that it is each site administration’s No. 1 priority to ensure that the best teachers are in the classroom.

Teacher issues need to be addressed, he said, but it takes a collaborative effort on the part of the teacher, the student and the parent.

CV cancer survivor aims to race Half-Ironman in Hawaii

BY KAREN BILLING For Jeff Tuetken, 2015 will be a milestone year filled with many hard-earned miles. Tuetken, 57, a cancer survivor and triathlete, hopes to be celebrating reaching five years cancer-free in November, after having crossed the finish lines of several half-Ironmans.

This year on March 28, he will race the Ironman 70.3 California and fulfill a dream of racing in Kona at May’s Ironman 70.3 Hawaii. He hopes to schedule in “at least” two more half Ironmans this year.

After beating cancer, Tuetken was determined to race again — to get back and see how much he could do.

“I enjoyed running, biking and swimming, not because of how fast I was or how many medals I won. It was just something I enjoyed to do,” Tuetken said. “Triathlons are just as fun. I’m just an hour later than I used to be.”

Tuetken, an engineer for General Atomics, is a longtime Carmel Valley resident. For the past 11 1/2 years, he and his family have lived in Del Mar Mesa, among the original homeowners in the area before it was built up around them.

He wasn’t always an athlete, and his athletic career only really got started when he and his wife, Reba, got a jogging stroller for their 1-year-old son, Adam (now 23).

“We started pushing that stroller faster and faster,” said Tuetken.

Their fitness progress inspired them to sign up for the Race for Knowledge 5K, a race that ran for more than 20 years in Carmel Valley. Tuetken loved the experience and started training to run longer distances, working up to a half marathon and a full marathon.

When running got “boring,” he bought a bicycle, and then started swimming laps at the pool.

Reba traveled a fair amount for work, and she recalled their children, Adam and Alyssa, complaining because Tuetken would tote them to the pool and have them count laps for him. That way he could combine a workout with watching the kids.

While at the pool, he met several people training for triathlons and thought that was something he could probably Triathlons are just as much do. In 2001, he started with sprint distance triathlons (750 fun as before, says Tuetmeter swim, 12-mile bike and 3.1 mile run), then moved on ken. ‘I’m just an hour later to Olympic-distance (1.2 mile swim, 25-mile bike and 6.2 than I used to be.’ mile run), and worked his way up to challenging half Ironmans: a 1.2-mile swim, and a 56-mile bike ride, topped off with a 13.1-mile half marathon.

In the garage is the family’s wall of fame, covered in race bibs and medals. Reba runs half marathons but leaves triathlons to her husband; she prefers spin class to road racing and doesn’t like swimming.

Besides, she said, they both can’t be out on their bikes, as someone has to be home to worry — the way she did in 2010 when Tuetken was in San Francisco for a race and she didn’t hear from him when she had expected to. Turned out he had taken a spill on his bike when a biker wiped out in front of him, landing him in the hospital with a concussion, groin injury and road rash. He was on crutches for a few weeks.

While Reba winces, Tuetken, the endurance athlete, recalls the story with a smile. There is nothing that compares with triathlons for him: the test of fitness and strength and the happy celebration at the finish line, the incredible sense of accomplishment.

He encourages anyone out there to give triathlons a try: “Somebody will cheer for you,” he said.

Tuetken’s life took an abrupt and unexpected turn in 2010. Intense pain brought him to the doctor’s office, pain that just kept getting worse.

After several tests and a colonoscopy, Tuetken was diagnosed in November 2010 with stage three colorectal cancer. He was told he had a tumor the size of a golf ball and was given a 50/50 chance of surviving five years.

He started a year’s worth of treatment in January 2011, beginning with radiation and chemotherapy.

“It was a year of torture,” Reba said, noting that by the end of that first month in January, he was declared 100 percent disabled. “He couldn’t walk from the bedroom to the kitchen, and I’m thinking, ‘This guy just ran a marathon.’”

Tuetken underwent two surgeries and went through daily radiation and a 24-hour “chemo fanny pack.” A man who thrived on getting outside and being active was reduced to “waiting around for (my) next treatment.”

Carmel Valley’s Jeff Tuetken at the 2014 Ironman 70.3 California in Oceanside with his wife, Reba, and children Adam and Alyssa.

“The chemotherapy was just brutal,” he said.

By December 2011, Tuetken was able to return to work on a limited basis. In the past four years, he has returned every three months for check-ups and so far has remained in the clear.

“I believe Jeff’s being so healthy and fit prior to treatment was a major contributor to him pulling through the treatment and why he is alive today,” Reba said.

However, Tuetken said, “I will never be back to normal. The treatment changes your life forever. I have a lot of collateral damage from the chemotherapy such as permanent neuropathy in my feet and hands, and I still have numbness in my hips and a constant ringing in my ears. That stuff will probably never go away.”

Because of the permanent damage from chemo, Tuetken said it would be too difficult to ever complete a full Ironman. The nutrition requirements go way up for a full Ironman, and Tuetken’s special diet would never allow him to ingest the amount of nutrients needed to be moving for six or 7 1/2 hours of the race.

Per his doctor’s advice, he took it easy his first year of recovery and returned to training and racing in late 2012. Just as with his triathlon beginnings, he started out with sprint and Olympic distances and moved up to finishing a half-Ironman in 2014 at the Ironman 70.3 California in Oceanside. His finish was about an hour behind his fastest time on the course, but the important part was that he finished. He has lost the least amount of time on the bike, which he considers his strongest leg of the race.

Now in preparation for this year’s Oceanside and Kona races, Tuetken is training three days a week — running Los Penasquitos Canyon, swimming laps at Bay Club Carmel Valley or running or biking on his favorite route, Coast Highway.

“I wish I had more time for training, but I also work 50 hours a week, so it’s tough to get in another workout,” Tuetken said.

Ironman Hawaii is considered one of the hardest courses because athletes have to endure heat, humidity and strong winds. Last October, the Tuetkens volunteered as race help on the bike course for the Ironman in Kona, watching as people battled to pedal against 25mile-per-hour winds.

Watching athletes struggle in the bracing wind and scorching heat, Reba couldn’t help but ask her husband: “You still want to do this?”

“It beats chemo,” Tuetken said. “At this point in my life, it’s just being able to finish, not winning a medal. If you finish, it’s a victory.”

A half-Ironman has always been a challenge for him, before and after beating cancer.

It’s all about having the courage and the ability to endure, to finish and to survive.

“Half the battle is between the ears,” Tuetken said. “You can always take that one more step and then one more step and eventually, you get there.”

TPHS grad receives worldwide attention for unique runway show

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY ROB LEDONNE Last year for New York Fashion Week, 2003 Torrey Pines High School graduate Carrie Hammer garnered attention for a unique kind of fashion show with the theme “Role Models Not Runway Models.”

The show, which was meant to break down the exclusive barriers of the fashion world and showcase models who aren’t usually seen on a runway, was a runaway success and spurred her to continue the theme.

“This was the one-year anniversary of our first show,” explained Hammer as she began to settle down after what was a whirlwind of work and attention. “Oh my gosh, it’s been unbelievable. I literally can’t believe it.”

One reason Hammer is still reeling is because of the viral attention the show has received from the press, thanks to a novel idea meant to spark change in fashion circles.

“After my first show, I got an email from an organization called Changing the Face of Beauty about how important and inspir-

from everyone from fashion icon Victoria Beckham to ABC television.

“When ‘ABC World News’ covered us, it was huge,” said Hammer of the attention from the national broadcast. “That [story] led to a lot of attention.”

Other outlets that covered the show ran the gamut, from publications such as Time Magazine, USA Today, and Cosmopolitan, to television shows that included “The Today Show” and “Entertainment Tonight” — among dozens of others.

Press adoration led to the show to even becoming a worldwide trending topic on Facebook for the better part of two days.

“All of my San Diego friends sprinkled

Carrie Hammer’s runway show was the first to use a model with Down syndrome. She and the show have received kudos from around the world. Courtesy photo ing the show was,” Hammer said. “I was then connected to Jamie Brewer.”

Brewer, an actress who has appeared on “American Horror Story,” has Down syndrome and Hammer felt she was the perfect person to include in order to raise awareness for the condition. As a result, Brewer was the first model with Down syndrome to model during fashion week in its entire history.

“I’m so proud, it’s been so exciting,” said Hammer. “It’s creating real change, because I get messages every day about how the show is special and how it’s transforming people’s lives and ideas.”

As a result of including Brewer, as well as other disabled models who have high-powered jobs in organizations such as the Clinton Global Initiative, Price WaterhouseCoopers, and Microsoft, Hammer and the show have received kudos

all over the country have been going berserk,” said Hammer. “People from Torrey Pines who I haven’t heard from in a long time have been reaching out as well. It’s been very nice.”

This season’s show was extra special for Hammer, considering her mother, Jean, whom she calls her “ultimate role model,” also walked the runaway. (Her father, Steven, was in the front row.)

“A lot of other people in fashion are taking notice of what we’re doing,” said Hammer. “It’s promoting diversity on the runaway, and that’s exactly what we wanted it to do in the first place.”

Seasalt offers ocean fare with decided Italian influence Seasalt overlooks the Los Peñasquitos Lagoon.

BY KELLEY CARLSON For the concept of his newest restaurant, Salvatore Ercolano decided to just go with the flow.

In mid-February, he opened Seasalt Del Mar, a casual, Italian-inspired seafood restaurant that overlooks the Los Peñasquitos Lagoon, with the Pacific Ocean within view.

“Seasalt Del Mar is my premier San Diego restaurant,” said Ercolano, who has opened, owned and managed more than 20 restaurants in two decades. “I have always wanted to open a restaurant with a view in Del Mar, and Seasalt Del Mar has the perfect location.”

It was only natural for Ercolano to decide on a menu that emphasized seafood because of the establishment’s coastal locale, at 2282 Carmel Valley Road. He opted to include sushi in a nod to the building’s former occupant, Japanese restaurant Eda-mami.

“Their customers had been coming for years,” Ercolano said.

Yet the majority of Seasalt Del Mar’s fare is influenced by the owner’s Italian background. Ercolano was born on the island of Capri, and began his culinary career at age 18, when he worked with a familyowned business. At age 22, he moved to New York, and served several years as man-

ager of the Mezzaluna trattoria in New York City. Ercolano also had a stint as manager of Italian restaurant Va Bene in Hong Kong, before he landed in San Diego in 1993.

It wasn’t long before Ercolano began to make a name for himself in “America’s Finest City.” He started the Zagat award-winning restaurants Bella Luna and Paper Moon in the Gaslamp Quarter, and over the years, he moved northward, as he set up Come On In! cafés in La Jolla, Sorrento Valley and Carmel Valley, and Villa Capri restaurants in Poway and Carmel Valley.

Seasalt Del Mar is a bit of a departure from Ercolano’s other dining establishments, as a neighborhood seafood bistro that features al fresco dining on two patios.

It has an “industrial chic” atmosphere, with reclaimed wood on the walls, concrete countertops, wooden ceiling beams and metal-exposed seamed chairs. There’s also a 25-foot bar where patrons can watch sports on two 50-inch HDTVs. Those looking to celebrate special events can reserve a private room with its own deck.

Of course, seafood is the specialty at Seasalt Del Mar, and Ercolano said he aims to keep the menu as healthy as possible.

When guests are first seated at tables, they are given options of free bread, edamame with sea salt, or a combination of the two.

Executive Chef Hilario Rodriguez prepares a number of dishes using fresh fish, from salmon and halibut to tuna. Some of the signature items are the Dungeness Crab Cake with lemon caper aioli; Seasalt Tuna

Ercolano added that he soon plans to start bringing in Maine lobster on weekends, on a seasonal basis.

While seafood takes center stage at Seasalt Del Mar, there are plenty of other alternatives, from chicken and steak entrees to salads, soups and sliders. Some of the notables are the Roman Style Artichokes sautéed with olive oil and garlic, and sprinkled with basil and parsley; and The Seasalt Salad with baby spinach, chopped Belgian endive, sliced beets, sliced apples and crumbled cranberry goat cheese, with a white wine balsamic vinaigrette.

The family-friendly menu also has a number of children’s favorites, such as Crusted Chicken Fingers with fries, Mac & Cheese and Fettuccine Alfredo.

Those with a sweet tooth can find delectables that

range from Tiramisu to the Seasalt Gelato (caramel and dark chocolate).

Guests who desire libations can choose from more than 50 wines from around the world, eight craft beers from local breweries, and specialty cocktails made with Han Spirits.

While Seasalt Del Mar has a relatively inexpensive menu — the highest-priced items are $24 — it still offers a number of specials throughout the week. Patrons can get 50 percent off select wines on Mondays; celebrate Taco Tuesdays with two tacos and a bottle of beer for $9.50; enjoy any basic sushi roll with Sapporo beer for $9.50 on Wednesdays; or have a “Date Night” on Thursdays while selecting from a prix-fixe menu.

There is also happy hour from 4:30 to 6:30 Monday through Saturday and all day Sunday.

Starting Feb. 28, the restaurant will offer weekend brunches. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays, guests can order egg dishes, pancakes and French toast, plus afternoon favorites that include pastas and salads, and homemade salmon patties and beef burgers. The fare is offered via tableside service with a menu.

Seasalt Del Mar’s hours are 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 4:30 to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and 4:30 to 10 p.m. Friday; 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. Saturday; and 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Sunday. Reservations are accepted for parties of four or more.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS ‘Magic hands’ are very real for clients of SB massage therapist

BY DIANE Y. WELCH Licensed massage therapist Juan Reque has been told by his clients that he has magic hands.

His unique personal touch has been relieving chronic pain for his professional and amateur athlete clientele for 20 years; but rather than magic, his expertise has been developed and honed from solid training, world travel, and experience with a roster of top-ranking professional tennis players, he said.

For five years, from 2008 through 2013, Reque worked with professional tennis player Maria Sharapova. After her surgery, Reque provided post-operative therapies that have kept Sharapova in top physical condition and pain-free.

She is an avid client and a strong supporter of Reque’s work. “There is nobody who knows my body better than Juan Reque, and this is really important when you have a busy schedule and you have to prevent injuries,” stated Sharapova.

Reque’s connection with Sharapova stemmed from his work as a trainer for the Association of Tennis Professionals. In this capacity, Reque traveled for five years with the Spanish Davis Cup team, setting up a service network to deal with injury prevention and treatment.

A native of Spain, Reque originally earned his physical therapy and sports science degrees in 1999, but is also licensed in massage therapy, European physical therapy, and strength and conditioning coach-

ing. He is also an expert in manual therapy, a fact that sets him apart from other physical therapists, he said.

“My typical client is someone who has chronic pain, most of the time related to sports,” Reque explained. “They might have tennis elbow, shoulder, knee or lower back problems. And several might be getting physical therapy from other places and have not got better. So they come to me, as I have a different approach, and then they find relief.”

Reque uses an innovative hands-on treatment known as Active Release Technique. It is a soft tissue movement-based massage that treats certain tendinopathies and muscle problems.

In a large number of chronic injuries, such as muscle strains or joint pains, the injured area presents scar tissue and limitation of movement. ART uses tension with movement to strip scar tissue from muscles and tendons to regain functionality.

Reque is also able to hone in on the source of the injury. Rather than simply focusing on the presenting physical symptoms, he determines the principal cause of the problem, which often goes undiagnosed. His treatment concentrates on releasing muscle tension, regaining joint mobility and activating muscles.

Two years ago, Reque completed a specialist course in applied kinesiology. He is certified by the National Strength and Conditioning Association and has a bachelor’s in sports science and education, strength

Maria Sharapova with Juan Reque: ‘There is nobody who knows my body better than Juan Reque,’ the tennis pro says. and conditioning from the University of Madrid, Spain.

But he credits his active experience while on the professional tennis circuit for truly bringing his expertise to a level above that of the average physical therapist. “By traveling all over the world, wherever I was working, I learned a lot from the other trainers,” Reque said.

Recently moved to offices in Solana Beach, Reque treats NFL and college football players, baseball players and professional tennis players and is increasingly treating junior clients with injuries from soccer and other fast-ball sports.

On the flip side of treating injuries, Reque is also able to help prevent them. His injury-free program is a screening

and exercise program that helps both those who are involved in sports and those who are not achieve a good functioning of their bodies and locomotor system.

“By doing this, people using the program can prevent or treat injuries, improve their health and, finally, maximize their athletic performance,” Reque said.

“I can really evaluate how their muscles are and see if there are some imbalances, and then treat them or recommend exercises to prevent possible injury.”

As a special introductory price, Reque is offering a 55-minute session for the price of a 25-minute session, a $40 saving. Visit www.injuryrecoverymassage.com to learn more about Juan Reque’s Injury Recovery Massage or to book an appointment, or call 844-4690704. Offices are at 674 Via de la Valle, #215, Solana Beach.

Canyon Crest Academy presents ‘Evita’ starting March 6

BY DIANE Y. WELCH Canyon Crest Academy is staging Andrew Lloyd Webber’s iconic Tony award-winning show “Evita.”

The sung-through musical set to Tim Rice’s lyrics is presented through CCA’s Envision Theatre and is a collaboration of Theatre, Dance, Vocal, Instrumental and Humanities Conservatories.

A 2 1/2-hour tour de force, the show features the famed song, “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina.”

There are 58 cast members and in total a 150 strong team making this the boldest production to date for CCA’s Envision Theatre, said Jeannine Marquie, CCA Envision Theatre Coordinator and show director.

“The talent pool of students is phenomenal so it was really hard to choose the lead roles. I wanted to get as many of these talented people involved,” she said. “One of the reasons I chose the show is that there are lots of cameo parts.”

Three students have been cast in the lead role of Eva Peron: Madi Rae Dipetro, Sam Tullie and Brooke Patterson, who each represent the three distinct phases of the charismatic yet controversial former first lady of Argentina.

“This is definitely one of the most challenging roles that I’ve taken on because its so different,” said Brooke about her role as Eva. “She was such a strong personality, for me it’s an invigorating experience in that sense, and has really helped me to develop as an actor.”

Steve Macario plays Che, Constantine Mickens is Juan Peron, Jonas McCullen is Magaldi and Aly Charfaurous plays Peron’s mistress. A large ensemble of vocal, dance and theater students creates a dynamic energy on stage, and the student orchestra provides the musical score.

The larger-than-life production crosses many musical genres. “It’s operatic, it’s rock, it’s jazz and it’s Latin rhythms,” said Gabriel Krasovic, ensemble cast member who dances a tango with Elena Eroshkin to the toe-tapping number “Surprisingly Good For You.” Actor and dancer Max Cadillac, CCA guest artist, has designed the production’s choreography, and Leigh Scarritt, one of San Diego’s premier voice teachers, is music director.

L-R: Cameron Chang, Sammy Lurie, Halle Hoffman, Thomas Ferrar, Ravi Gopinathan during rehearsals for “Evita.” Courtesy photo “They both have great talent and bring a lot of energy to the production,” said Marquie.

The plot follows the life of Eva, a young Argentinian from humble roots who becomes the powerful wife of a dictator before her tragic death at age 33.

Ambitious and hungry for power, she captivated a nation by appealing to the working class. Beside her husband, Juan Peron, Eva became a symbol for hope and change in the Argentine community.

To prepare for their roles, cast discussions were an important element. “We talked about different class structures and feminism, as Eva essentially pushed for women’s votes and rights,” said Marquie. Humanities conservatory students gave a presentation to the cast and crew to help underscore the importance of this aspect of the work.

“It was great because I am taking world history this year, and I am singing and acting the things that I am learning in class; it’s a different take on it,” said Gabriel. “I can see the comparisons for the historical aspect and how it has been adapted for the show, and we all have a lot more knowledge about the subject.”

Taylor Olson, student stage manager, works after hours and behind the scenes to make the talent shine on stage.

“It’s stressful but I’ve found a way to time manage it. It’s a lot of people and it can be very chaotic but I’ve been able to organize all my work knowing exactly what happens and when.”

Under Technical Director Jeremy Sewell, with CCA Student Assistant Director Katherine Michel, Taylor’s team of technical con-

servatory members provide sound, light and set design.

“I keep everyone on track.

It’s really impressive, as all the techs are really committed,” she remarked.

Marquie said that she is very thankful for the commitment that parents show through the CCA’s Foundation, which makes largescale productions possible.

“Their support for the arts is unparalleled.”

“Evita” promises to be a dynamic show, said Gabriel.

“Most important is that this is high school theater, and we are interpreting these phenomenal roles. The music is awesome, the audience will love it. I don’t think we are going to disappoint.”

“Evita” will be staged in the Canyon Crest Academy Proscenium Theater, 5951 Village Center Loop Road, San Diego.

Showtimes are: 7 p.m.

Friday, March 6 and Saturday, March 7; 4:30 p.m.

Thursday, March 12; 7 p.m.

Friday, March 13; and 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. Saturday, March 14.

Tickets cost $15 adults, $8 students, and $6 ASB and may be purchased at cca_envision.org.

Yoga studio owner serene about new location in Carmel Valley

BY KAREN BILLING Yogi Alex Arias has extended her Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Elite Yoga studio from La Jolla to a new Carmel Valley location.

The yoga studio on Carmel Valley Road had a soft opening in December 2014 and celebrated a grand opening with a week of free classes starting Jan. 26. Seeing classes full of women was very exciting for Arias.

She said she is so happy in Carmel Valley she almost wishes she had opened her doors there first. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I find that here itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more of a community,â&#x20AC;? Arias said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Women want to stay and chat here. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a fit for me; I absolutely love it here.â&#x20AC;?

Arias was a professional ballet dancer in Latin America from the age of 16. Originally from Ecuador, she traveled and danced across Europe before moving to America to get an education.

She earned a degree in international relations and Latin American studies, and after joining the National Exercise Trainers Association, she taught aerobics, spinning and step classes for several years.

All of that dancing and 15 years of teaching took a serious toll, and at 40 years old her â&#x20AC;&#x153;poor bodyâ&#x20AC;? was worn out. She was unable to do many forms of exercise and her weight began to creep up.

In 2009, she moved back to La Jolla after living in China with her family for three years and was determined to get back into shape. She decided to give yoga a try.

Throughout all of her years of fitness, she had never tried yoga, as she didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t believe that it could have an impact. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After my first class, I could not believe how relaxed I was and how good my body

felt,â&#x20AC;? Arias said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had no idea the mental strength that it takes to practice yoga â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s crazy.â&#x20AC;?

Through yoga, she said, she lost the weight and surprisingly became stronger than sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ever been. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m more fit and flexible now than I was when I used to dance,â&#x20AC;? Arias said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m pain-free, nothing hurts, nothing aches and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m so much stronger. I thought, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got to help other people through yoga â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I have to help people heal their bodies and be well.â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?

Arias became certified to teach all levels of Vinyasa, Yin, power yoga, hot yoga, restorative yoga and yoga with weights. After teaching, she set her sights on opening her own studio and opened Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Elite Yoga in La Jolla in April 2014.

Coming to Carmel Valley became a nobrainer after women continually asked her to open a studio here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Carmel Valley women kept telling me the area would have the best clientele in the world, and I agree with them,â&#x20AC;? Arias said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These women are amazing. They are supportive, friendly and have a strong focus on health and fitness.â&#x20AC;?

At Carmel Valley, WEY offers a full schedule of classes throughout the week, the earliest at 9 a.m. and the latest at 7 p.m.

Classes include several levels of Vinyasa yoga, which links body movement to breath. Poses flow from easy to difficult and the breathing helps to decompress.

Yin yoga is very popular, featuring no more than four active poses using bolsters, blankets and blocks.

Power yoga is just as it sounds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The ladies love planks and the push-up and press-up movements,â&#x20AC;? Arias said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They

Alex Arias recently opened her second Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Elite Yoga location in Carmel Valley. Photo by Karen Billing want the big â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;gunsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s so adorable.â&#x20AC;?

Clients have told her they like the boutique style of the studio, where classes are small enough that people arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t tripping over each other and teachers can give students lots of attention and adjustments.

While she does offer some co-ed classes, the womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;sonly aspect is also a draw. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had over 800 people come through La Jolla in a year, and for maybe 100 of them, it was their first-ever yoga class because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only,â&#x20AC;? Arias said.

The studio is kept â&#x20AC;&#x153;spotlessly clean,â&#x20AC;? and she rents clean mats for $1 as well as sells them â&#x20AC;&#x201D; she manufactures her own yoga mats to have them to the high standard she desires (hers are more cushioned and anti-microbial).

Arias still teaches many classes, but she is hoping to cut her teaching by half to keep up with her young business and her busy family life.

She is a mother of four children: Josh, 21, attends Point Loma Nazarene; Paulina, 18, is a senior at Santa Fe Christian; Tana, 14, is at Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s; and Jake, 6, attends the Gil-

lespie School.

The Ariases adopted Tana from China when she was 10 months old and the experience was life-changing for them. They saw so many children in need and were moved to do something to help.

She and her husband Jeff founded the Arias Home of Hope in India for children living with HIV and AIDS. The home has cared for more than 331 abandoned children since 2001, providing support, food, medicine and an education.

The home inspired a documentary called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Blood Brotherâ&#x20AC;? about Rocky Braat, an American who gave up his life to go to India to run the orphanage.

Ariasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; passion across the board is to help people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; whether internationally or locally, helping women improve their health and discover a mind-body connection.

Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Elite Yoga Carmel Valley is at 13857 Carmel Valley Road.

Locals bring Jersey Mike’s Subs to Del Mar

BY KRISTINA HOUCK After introducing Jersey Mike’s Subs to San Diego six years ago, locals Cathy and Mike Brown are finally bringing the sub sandwich chain home.

Owned and operated by the Carmel Valley couple, Jersey Mike’s Subs opened its doors Feb. 25 at Beachside Del Mar. “It is really exciting for us to finally have Jersey Mike’s in our own community,” said Mike Brown, who has lived with his wife in Del Mar, Solana Beach, and now Carmel Valley, for nearly 30 years. “We’ve been trying for years to find a spot for it.”

Beginning in 2009, Cathy Brown joined Jersey Mike’s Subs as area director of San Diego County, and her husband joined the chain shortly after as area director of Northern California.

For three decades, Mike Brown was a Domino’s Pizza franchisee, owning and operating as many as 31 locations at one time, including the shop in Del Mar Highlands Town Center for more than 15 years.

“We think our subs are the best in town,” said Cathy Brown, noting that U-T San Diego’s readers poll has voted Jersey Mike’s “Best Sub in San Diego” four out of the five years the chain has been in San Diego.

The couple brought Jersey Mike’s Subs to San Diego, opening the first shop in the county in Mission Valley in August 2009.

Over the next several years, they opened additional shops in Mira Mesa, Point Loma, College Area and Rancho Peñasquitos. The Beachside Del Mar shop is the Browns’ sixth Jersey Mike’s store in the region.

Coincidentally, the store is also the 30th location in the county, and the couple will be celebrating their 30th wedding anniversary later this year.

“We’re very, very proud of the product,” said Cathy Brown, who also co-owns two of the 10 Northern California stores with her husband. “The first time we tried the product, we thought, ‘San Diego is going to love us.’ And they do.”

Originally called Mike’s Subs, the first Jersey Mike’s Subs shop opened in 1956 in Point Pleasant, N.J. In the early 1970s, Peter Cancro, the chief executive officer of Jersey Mike’s Franchise Systems Inc., bought the shop and later began franchising the concept. A name change and a few decades later, today more than 1,300 locations are open and under development.

Cathy and Mike Brown joined the chain because they are fans of the food.

The couple said the company uses the highest-quality ingredients, including certified Angus beef top rounds that are trimmed and cooked right in the store, premium brand meats and cheeses, and fresh bread baked daily on the premises.

“It’s the best East Coast sub in San Diego,” Mike Brown said.

In addition to the food, Cathy Brown said the company’s philosophy on community involvement also attracted her to the chain.

An active volunteer, Cathy Brown has served as vice president of the Del Mar Carmel Valley Sharks Soccer Club’s competitive program, overseeing 42 teams. She has also volunteered on the Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary.

Using her stores to continue to give back to the community, she and her husband are celebrating the opening of their newest store with a fundraiser to benefit the Del Mar Schools Education Foundation.

Through March 8, the shop will donate $3 to the foundation for every coupon redeemed from fliers tailored for the district’s schools.

In addition, the shop is distributing 7,500 coupon cards to local businesses offering a free sub with a $2 donation. All donations will also benefit Del Mar Schools Education Foundation.

In March, all county stores are collaborating to raise funds for Rady Children’s Hospital.

Last year, the region’s shops raised more than $100,000 for the local hospital. This year the stores are kicking off the fourth annual fundraiser March 4 with a Spirit Day at every location. On that day, 20 percent of proceeds will benefit the hospital. All month long, stores will continue to accept donations. And on March 25, 100 percent of proceeds will benefit Rady Children’s Hospital.

“This is just what we believe,” said Cathy Brown, who was named one of San Diego Magazine’s 2013 Women Who Move the City honorees for her work with Jersey Mike’s. “We want to take care of things that matter to our customers.”

The Del Mar shop is in the newly renovated Beachside Del Mar shopping center at 2626A Del Mar Heights Road. The store is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Sunday.

Fundraiser supporting military, SEAL families to be held March 21 at DM Country Club

BY KRISTINA HOUCK About 400 people are expected to raise awareness and funds for military families during the SEAL-Naval Special Warfare Family Foundation’s fourth annual fundraiser March 21 at the Del Mar Country Club in Rancho Santa Fe. Founded in 2008, the nonprofit supports Navy SEALs and their families through a variety of programs.

“The Del Mar Country Club is honored to host the SEAL-NSW Family Foundation again this year,” said foundation board member Dominique Plewes, who is co-chairing the event with her mother, philanthropist Madeleine Pickens, for the second consecutive year.

The fundraiser has always taken place at the Del Mar Country Club, which is owned by Pickens.

“I don’t think that any of us can be too thankful for our military and their families,” Plewes said. “And as a board member, I know how important these programs are and what a difference it makes in their lives.”

The fundraiser will kick off with a scramble golf tournament, followed in the

Professional golf coach Hank Haney will provide a pretournament clinic and exhibition for all players. During the gala, Crisa Herzog, daughter of retired Navy SEAL Chief Mike Sandlin, will sing the National Anthem. Gen. Michael Hayden, a retired four-star general who served as director of the CIA and the NSA, will be the keynote speaker.

“You can’t do enough to help these families,” said Plewes, who noted the cause is close to her heart, as her father, Robert Richter, served in the Navy during the Vietnam War. “If anyone can give back, they should. The Navy SEALs and their families deserve it more than anything.”

With the motto “Taking care of their family while they

protect ours,” the foundation raises awareness and funds for programs in direct support of NSW families on a local, national and global scale.

In 2014, the foundation spent $2.4 million on a variety of support programs and organizations, including NSWKids, a nonprofit that provides educational diagnostic testing and tutoring to families in the NSW community, and Sisterhood, a worldwide NSW spousal support network.

Other foundation-supported programs and services include family services, emergency assistance, transition assistance, wounded care, bereavement support and remembrance support.

“There’s a lot of great programs already in existence. We work in complementing where there might be gaps,” said executive director Bill Fenick, who joined the foundation in November after serving in the U.S. Navy for 28 years. He most recently served as director of public affairs and corporate communication for the Naval Special Warfare Command in San Diego, a position he held since 2010.

“Our mission talks to supporting the individual and the family through a bunch of programs,” added Fenick, who grew up in a Navy family. “They’re targeted to maintain a resilient, sustainable and healthy force. We believe that resilient families will help create a more resilient force.”

The golf and gala fundraiser attracted 400 guests and raised more than $1.3 million last year. Few tickets are available for this year’s nearly sold-out event.

“It’s a well-attended and popular event because it’s got a really meaningful purpose,” Fenick said.

The golf event begins with breakfast and registration from 9-10 a.m., followed by the scramble golf tournament at 10:30 a.m.

A cocktail reception and silent auction will take place from 4:30-6 p.m., with dinner, entertainment and a live auction starting at 6:30 p.m.

For event details, reservations and sponsorships, contact Carol A. Tuller at 619-3440344, ext. 715, or email delmarsealevent@ gmail.com.

Beagles arrive at Rancho Coastal Humane Society Thirty-five beagles, ranging from puppies to pregnant moms to adults, were taken in a caravan of six vehicles to the Rancho Coastal Humane Society on Feb. 23.

The animals were taken from the home of a suspected hoarder. Some of the dogs and puppies are expected to become available for adoption in the next few weeks at Rancho Coastal Humane Society and El Cajon-based Four Paws Coonhound Rescue and Friends.

“Four Paws Rescue contacted RCHS about these beagles and also a female pug, her puppies, and five other adult pugs,” said RCHS President Jim Silveira. “The owner was no longer able to provide care for the dogs and she needed our help. Pug Rescue is in the process of finding homes for the This pup is among the 35 pugs. The beagles will be coming here. As soon as they’re ex- beagles taken to the RCHS amined, vaccinated, altered, and pronounced to be in good for adoption after being health, they’ll be released by our medical director.

Courtesy photo Initial exams indicate that some of the dogs have inner ear infections. Others will require dental care before they can be released for adoption.

The litters vary from an adult female with one puppy to another with a litter of seven.

There are four pregnant female Beagles and another five adults with no puppies.

Silveira says that it’s a lucky coincidence that the 35 beagles will be arriving just days after a beagle named “Miss P” won the title of “Best of Show” at the Westminster Dog Show.

“For these 35 beagles, the timing couldn’t be better. Beagles are in the spotlight. The attention should attract potential adopters to RCHS and Four Paws, helping to find homes for the beagles and the other dogs in our kennels and foster care.”

The puppies are expected to become available for adoption in the coming months.

3-D printers are topic for CV Library talk Meghana Reddy, a sophomore at Francis Parker School, will be presenting a talk at the Carmel Valley Library at 3 p.m. March 1 on how she uses 3-D printers to make prosthetic limbs and donates them to patients all over the world.

From medicine to engineering, 3-D printer applications are believed to be the next technological revolution. Meghana will also give a live demonstration on how a simple object can be printed using an inexpensive 3-D printer. Middle and high school students and their parents may find this presentation beneficial.

Meghana is a sophomore at Francis Parker School. She was inspired to create Limbs With Love, a 501(c)3 nonprofit, after she visited orphanages in India and was moved by the plight of children without limbs. Her interest in STEM subjects provided the impetus to learn about 3-D printers and their applications in medicine.

Del Mar Foundation honors donors at dinner The Del Mar Foundation honored its Founding Endowment Circle members and major donors at a dinner Feb. 11 at Pacifica Breeze restaurant. Foundation President Judd Halenza and Vice President Bob Hans thanked the guests for their financial support in launching the Foundation’s community endowment fund in 2008. The endowment has grown to more than $1 million today and provides funding stability for the foundation’s programs and grants. Halenza said the Foundation is poised to play a critical role as the city develops plans for the Civic Center and the Shores Property.

Entertainment was provided by a group of young musicians including Kyle Myers (Mt. Carmel HS) on sax, Jerome Salazar (Arizona State University graduate) on bass, and Scott Roberts (Canyon Crest Academy) on piano.

The evening was partially underwritten by board members Judd and Susan Halenza, Bob and Melissa Gans, Wes and Kelley Huggett, and Michael and Erica Halpern.

Assistance League of Rancho San Dieguito hosts shopping event for families in need On Feb. 12 and 19, the Assistance League of Rancho San Dieguito hosted a shopping event at Marshall’s store in Solana Beach for children from low-income families to help enable children’s success in school.

League members bought shoes for the 4-year-olds that they tutor each week at St. Leo’s Church in Solana Beach. This school is managed

by Easter Seals and provides 3-4-year-olds of un-

derserved families with a preschool program. The Assistance League volunteers tutor in English and math through games and English conversation. The shoe-shopping event is the chapter’s first to be held in Solana Beach and has been funded through a grant from the Solana Beach City Council.

STEAMConnect conference convenes March 4-5 Camp Erin taking applications for June 5-7; STEAMConnect’s second Ascend Conference, set for March 4-5, will bring together more than 500 educators, school administrators, nonprofits, parents, business leaders, funders and policymakers from around the U.S. who share a common interest in bridging the arts and STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) in education — two often siloed worlds.

Attendees, speakers, sponsors and community members will gather from 5:30-8 p.m.

Wednesday, March 4, for a welcome reception to celebrate the start of STEAMConnect 2015 at SILO in Makers Quarter, a neighborhood in San Diego’s Upper East Village anchored by artists, makers and entrepreneurs (753 15th St.) From 9 a.m.-5 p.m. Thursday, March 5, at Irwin M. Jacobs Qualcomm Hall (5775 Morehouse Drive, San Diego), attendees of the main conference will hear from 19 speakers, visit 11 spotlight booths featuring STEAM activities and resources, and have the chance to experience three different hands-on workshops. Tickets are available at www.STEAMConnect.org.

Under this year’s theme “Moving From Dialogue to Action,” conference attendees will share practices and new ideas about the impact of the STEAM movement on education policy, funding, industry innovation and the community. Find the full conference agenda at http://steamconnect.org/2015-sessions-booths-workshops/.

free session helps support grieving youngsters Local San Diego youth coping with loss have been able to find support and comfort at Camp Erin San Diego, a free overnight weekend camp, led by the Center for Compassionate Care of The Elizabeth Hospice.

“Camp Erin helped me in so many ways,” said Makayla, 13, who experienced the death of both parents. “One way is to put all of my anger and grief into something positive instead of negative. They tell me that it is OK to grieve, and everyone grieves differently.

Thank you, Camp Erin!”

This annual weekend summer camp is open to children and teens ages 6 to 17 who are grieving the death of someone close to them. This year’s camp will be held June 5-7 in Julian, combining traditional, high-energy camp activities with grief support and education.

Camp Erin San Diego is now accepting applications for campers for the June 2015 camp. Learn more at elizabethhospice.org/camperin, camperin@ehospice.org or by calling 800-797-2050.

Camp Erin San Diego is part of the largest national network of bereavement camps in the country, established by The Moyer Foundation, a nonprofit founded by World Series Champion pitcher Jamie Moyer and his wife, Karen. The foundation’s mission is to provide comfort, hope and healing to children affected by loss and family addiction.

Walt and Diana Kilmer, noted Rosarians, will speak at the Del Mar Rose Society meeting on Thursday, Feb. 26, at the Powerhouse Community Center in Del Mar. Their topic will be “The History of Old Garden Roses.”

The Kilmers grow about 375 roses in their Temecula garden. They have been Rosarians since 1993, and were named outstanding Consulting Rosarians of the year for the Pacific Southwest District in 2005. In 2013, Diana and Walt were given Master Consulting Rosarians status through the American Rose Society.

Walt is president of the California Coastal Rose Society. They are both involved in the Temecula Valley Rose Society and the Mountain View Rose Society.

Diana says roses run in her blood, for she still has family in Ireland hybridizing roses today. Her great-great-great-grandfather started the Dickson Nursery in Belfast, Northern Ireland, in 1835. The first rose registered by Alex Dickson was Duchess of Sutherland, and of course the Kilmers have this rose in their garden, as well as other Old Garden Roses from the early 17th century to the 20th century, ranging from Species Roses to the modern-day Portland, Moss, Bourbons, Hybrid Perpetuals, Chinas and more. This program will show you the many Old Garden Roses that are available today and will grow in our California climate.

Social Hour and refreshments are at 6:30 p.m., with program and presentation at 7 p.m.

The public is invited. Just bring your love of roses; no growing experience required. Call 858-349-4799.

SPONSORED COLUMNS MICHAEL PINES Accident & Injury Legal Advice 858.551.2090

Drivers express skepticism over emerging vehicle technology Vehicle vocabulary such as GPS, airbags, and anti-lock brakes often ring familiar to most drivers across the United States. But words like electronic stability control, lane departure warnings, and rear-parking sensors can often garner a look of bewilderment, so a MetLife study suggests after concluding that Americans remain deeply skeptical over emerging vehicle technologies.

Of Americans who responded to the survey, nearly two-thirds said they did not entirely trust car technology, particularly with devices used in-cabin, due in part to the unnecessary reliance on GPS or in-car social networking.

But while respondents doubted many of the creature comforts of today, chalking them up to mere distractions, nearly 85 percent remained faithfully reliant on tried-and-true technologies like seatbelts, airbags, and antilock brakes – safety systems proven to reduce the instances of car accidents.

While many Americans remain technologically savvy, less than a third of those who were surveyed said they were still unsure about car technology, due in part to unfamiliarity, but also due to car technology’s reputation of creating potentially unsafe driving conditions.

And in a surprising twist, many Americans expressed confusion over base safety features including electronic stability control, a

feature that helps drivers gain control over their vehicle in potentially unsafe driving conditions. Over 60 percent of respondents said they would choose a GPS device over electronic stability control due in part to the lack of knowledge surrounding useful – if not essential -- car technology needed today.

Get to know your car technology Now you can be the expert on the lesscommonly discussed car technology that stands at the heart of increased driving safety.

Electronic Stability Control Commonly referred to as ESC, electronic stability control should not be chalked up to a creature comfort. Instead, ESC can be a life-saving device since it uses computer technology to detect slipping, skidding, and even hydroplaning, instantly engaging the brakes, so collision impacts – if they occur – are significantly reduced.

Lane departure warning systems Driving while tired is unfortunately all

too common, but technology like lane departure warning systems can helpdrivers avoid a car accident altogether as it will warn drivers when they drift into another lane unexpectedly, thereby reducing the chance of collision and personal injury.

Rear parking sensor If you drive a luxury vehicle, you may already have a rear parking sensor installed.

But if you don’t, or if you drive an older vehicle, consider getting one installed as it can save another person’s life. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of children who are run over each year by cars backing up unknowingly.

Using a rear parking sensor can help improve your parallel parking, prevent needless car damage, and most importantly, it can safe a child’s life.

Don Diego Scholarship Foundation Turmeric: Go for the gold seeking sponsors for ‘ag bus’ with this healthful spice The Don Diego Scholarship Foundation invites individuals and organizations to sponsor a transformational experience for a classroom of low-income grade- school students through its Plant*-Grow*Eat Bus Program.

For nearly 30 years, the San Diego County Fair’s Plant*Grow*Eat agricultural education program has introduced children to the unparalleled joy of planting a seed, helping it grow and eating the food. In early spring, Fair staff visit classrooms, showing students how to plant and nurture their seeds. For $300, one busload of students can visit the Fair for plant tasting and judging, followed by visits to the Livestock and Ag Education areas, where the children learn more about farming and nutrition.

Executive Director Chana Mannen says the popular program benefits all participants. “Bus sponsors enjoy welcoming their students and accompanying them to the judging arena. On that day, they receive free Fair parking and admission plus bus signage displaying their sponsorship. If you want to help judge the produce, we’ll give you a crash course in radish judging!”

Educators praise the program’s achievements. Said Carson Elementary third-grade teacher Shaquanna Haile, “The program adds an extra dimension to our science cur-

HOME OF HOME OFTHE THEWEEK WEEK

riculum study of lifecycles.”

And the kids? For many, it marks their first visit to the Fair; for some, their first glimpse of the Pacific Ocean; for most, their first opportunity to pet a goat! Perhaps the most significant benefit to students is learning that the food they eat comes from the ground, not the grocery store.

One Imperial Beach Elementary School student wrote, “I put my plant outside so it could grow. After a few days, three tiny plants started to grow and I felt so happy. I thinned out the plants so I had one radish left. I thought my plant would die but it didn’t. Planting radishes was an educational experience. I even won a second place ribbon for it!”

And sponsors say they enjoy the experience as much as the kids. After meeting and greeting students at the Fair, bus sponsor Heather Marsh said, “I found the students’ enthusiasm so contagious that I went home and planted some radishes. And I learned something new from them: They taught me that nasturtium flowers are edible.”

The 2015 San Diego County Fair runs June 5-July 5, 2015. To become a Plant*Grow*Eat bus sponsor, visit www. dondiegoscholarship.org or contact Chana Mannen at cmannen@sdfair.com or 858792-4210.

The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN The golden boy of Indian spices, tantalizing turmeric (ginger’s first cousin and the main spice in curry) is as gorgeous and flavorful as it is healthful. It was revered for centuries by ancient practitioners for its Herculean healing powers and now by modern medicine men, including Drs. Andrew Weil and Mehmet Oz. So here’s why you should turmeric up!

Worth its weight in gold Many kudos to this immune-boosting knobby rhizome with bright orange flesh. Its anti-inflammatory compounds, primarily the potent curcumin, have been found to alleviate achy, creaky arthritic joints. They put the brakes on cerebral plaque formation that can lead to Alzheimer’s disease.

They ward off cancer development and its spread from breast and colon to prostate and skin by disrupting the Here are two turmeric recipes, one for a savory marinade, the other a traditional Middle Eastern sfouf cake from the kitchen of Chef Bernard Guillas of The Marine Room to satisfy even the most discriminating sweet tooths with an added antioxidant oomph!

ALL-PURPOSE TURMERIC MARINADE 1/2 cup virgin olive oil 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice 3 garlic cloves, minced 1 shallot, minced 1 teaspoon fresh grated turmeric or 1/2 teaspoon dried turmeric 1 teaspoon spicy mustard 1/4 teaspoon sweet paprika Sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste Method: Puree garlic, shallots, turmeric and salt in a food processor or mortar and pestle. Blend remaining ingredients. Chill and use as a marinade for wild-caught fish (salmon, snapper, halibut, shrimps and scallops), chicken, or roasted vegetables.

Note: If using as a dip-

virus’s sneaky pathways.

The super spice snuffs out yeasts and parasites. The powerful antioxidants have been linked to fighting off atherosclerosis by disabling harmful platelet activities.

There’s more. Turmeric quells an upset stomach, relieves gum inflammation, along with halitosis and gingivitis, soothes skin irritations and swimmer’s ear. It boosts liver function and prevents sunburn from fire-breathing UV rays.

The root even makes meat exposed to high temperatures safer to consume by reducing carcinogenic heterocyclic amine levels when sprinkled on chicken, beef or pork before grilling.

From soup to nuts Turmeric, aka “Indian saffron,” is easier on the wallet than the precious crimson strands from the flower of the Crocus sativus (pricey saffron). Grate fresh turmeric root or sprinkle dried powder to add vibrant eye candy to everything from soups, stews, risottos, frittatas, grilled root veggies and crucifers, mashed potatoes, condiments and sauces to cakes, almond and shortbread cookies, smoothies, savory snacks and roasted nuts, whether heart-healthy almonds, walnuts, pistachios or assorted seeds.

Nothing to sneeze at Blending black pepper with turmeric has been found to boost the body’s absorption of the powerful curcumin compound in the bloodstream by as much as 2,000 percent, so get cracking with your pepper grinder when preparing turmeric dishes.

Think outside the spice box Multi-tasking turmeric is used in countless non-culinary home remedies and crafty concoctions. While the spice has a magnificent bright hue for staining everything from Tshirts to Easter eggs, it anomalously is used to whiten the pearls with a paste blending its powder form, coconut oil and baking soda. Sprinkle it in your foundation for a natural bronzer or glow. Enliven your scalp and control dandruff with a turmeric tonic. Balance oily skin and calm breakouts with a soothing facial mask. Brew a pot of longevity or turmeric tea — that is part of the daily diet of Okinawans, a Japanese island that Andrew Weil observed has a population endowed with the longest lifespan, along with the largest number of centenarians in the world.

2 eggs 2 teaspoons orange blossom water 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1/4 cup chopped pistachios 1/4 cup chopped almonds 2 tablespoons sesame seeds

ping sauce, add one teaspoon of orange blossom honey.

LEBANESE TURMERIC SFOUF CAKE 3 tablespoons tahini paste 1 cup all-purpose flour 2 cups fine cornmeal 1 1/2 teaspoons turmeric powder 1 tablespoon g r o u n d anise seeds 2 teaspoons baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/4 cups honey 1 1/4 cups thick Greekstyle yogurt 2/3 cup melted unsalted butter

Method: Heat oven to 325 degrees. Coat 11-inchby-9-inch baking pan with tahini paste. Combine flour, cornmeal, turmeric, anise, baking powder and salt in a mixing bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk honey, yogurt, butter, eggs, orange blossom water and vanilla extract until smooth. Add flour mixture.

Combine well. Transfer to prepared pan. Sprinkle top with pistachios, almonds and sesame seeds. Bake 40 minutes or until toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean.

Serve with a dollop of Greek yogurt, orange segments and a drizzle of honey.

San Diego Youth Symphony performs March 15 Young orchestras and wind ensembles from the San Diego Youth Symphony and Conservatory perform an exciting range of repertoire in the second Inspiration Series Concert of the season at 4 p.m. Sunday, March 15, at the Joan B. Kroc Theatre in La Mesa.

The Inspiration Series features winds and strings ensembles: Overture Strings, Overture Winds and Concert Strings. These student musicians are from SDYS’ foundation and intermediate level Balboa Park Programs. The concert will feature works such as Bizet’s “Habanera” from “Carmen,” Dvorak’s Symphony No. 8 in G minor, Mozart’s “Overture to Lucio Silla,” and more!

Each season, SDYS provides the opportunity for its student musicians of all levels to perform as part of a large ensemble in the formal setting of a concert venue, which for some students will be one of their first concert hall performances. This performance is a key element to the young musicians’ experience and development.

Young musicians interested in joining the ensembles this year should take this opportunity to see the introductory level musicians in action. Families can also visit SDYS’ rehearsals on weekends in Balboa Park, which includes all 10 youth symphony ensembles.

Join the rehearsals on April 25 and 26 for the Open Days and you can sit in one of the orchestras to see how it feels to be a part of SDYS! All levels of musicians are accepted, from ages 8 to 25, with the most advanced students going on to attend some of the nation’s top music schools. Sign up for updates at www.sdys.org/interestlist or call 619-233-3232.
