SDUHSD board supports removing personal belief exemption for student vaccinations BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District board approved a resolution in support of Senate Bill 277, repealing the personal belief exemption for vaccinations, on April 2. The board’s discussion and vote on the bill was nearly drowned out by an angry crowd of about 40 parents who opposed the bill, many
holding signs and wearing buttons against vaccinations. After the 4-1 vote with trustee Amy Herman voting against it, there was an immediate outburst: “That’s a big mistake!� The shouts continued as a disappointed crowd spilled out of the meeting room. “It’s a civil rights issue!� “Here come the law-
suits!� “We’re all leaving the state!� “You can’t say stick our kid or they can’t go to school!� “We understand the passion on this subject,� said trustee Joyce Dallessandro. “As a school board, we’re elected to represent, speak out for and advocate for the best interest of all students. The decisions we make need to best serve all
or at the very least the majority of district students. It’s imperative that students are able to attend schools free of any overall safety and health concerns, so I am in support of this resolution.� Public health officials believe an immunization rate of 95 percent is critical to minimizing the potential risk of a disease outbreak.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK A Fairbanks Ranch man has been arrested in the attempted abduction of a child at a Solana Beach elementary school, San Diego County Sheriff’s officials announced April 2. Jack Henry Doshay, 22, was booked into the Vista Detention Facility late on April 1 on charges of child cruelty, false imprisonment with violence and kidnapping in connection with the March 23 attempted abduction of a 7-year-old girl at Skyline Elementary School. During a news conference at the Sheriff’s De-
granted bail is scheduled for Thursday, April 9. A readiness conference is scheduled for May 6 and a preliminary hearing is set for May 28. “This guy messed with the wrong girl and the wrong community,� said the victim’s father, Mike Paeske, at the news conference. “We are so proud of our daughter for the way she handled herself during the attack and subsequent investigation. She is our inspiration and our hero.� Although arrested in Laguna Niguel, Doshay
partment headquarters in Kearny Mesa, Sheriff Bill Gore said Doshay was arrested shortly after 7:30 p.m. in Laguna Niguel. Detectives had obtained an arrest warrant earlier in the day, but Doshay’s lawyer, Paul Pfingst, helped coordinate the arrest by providing the address. Doshay pleaded not guilty on Saturday, April 4, to the three felony charges. He is being held at the Vista jail without bail and faces up to 11 years in prison if convicted of all charges.

According to officials, the suspect approached the girl as she was heading to an after-school program. He allegedly put his hand over her mouth, tried to wrap packing tape around
her head and attempted to pick her up. The girl kicked and screamed, attracting the attention of teachers and staff.

Solana Beach’s View Assessment Commission denies multi-use development BY KRISTINA HOUCK After listening to view concerns from two Solana Beach residents, the city’s View Assessment Commission on March 17 denied a proposed multi-use development on South Coast Highway 101, Dahlia Drive and South Sierra Avenue. Property owner American Assets Trust purchased the approximately 1.9-acre lot in 2011. The site was previously used as a mobile home park. Run-down buildings also sit on the site. The proposed project includes 31 apartments, about 34,500 square feet of restaurant and retail space, about 14,100 square feet of office space and a 341-space, twolevel underground parking garage. The commercial and retail businesses would face Highway 101, while residential units would be located along Sierra Avenue. The tallest portion of the structure reaches 35 feet — the maximum allowable height. “We’re working with American Assets to really envision and design a truly
mixed-use project for this project site,” said Jim Gabriel of architects Hanna Gabriel Wells, adding that the development aims to “celebrate” the corner of Highway 101 and Dahlia Drive with a public plaza, which would be surrounded by commercial, retail and office space. “We really believe the project is designed to fit the scale of the community, and we think it really relates well to both the neighboring commercial and residential uses,” he said. “We’re confident that the project will ultimately enhance the views across the site by removing the existing dilapidated buildings, the broken-up concrete, the weeds, and replacing them with an appropriately scaled architecture.” After story poles were installed and neighboring community members notified, the city received view assessment applications from two residents by the Jan. 26 deadline. Greg Wedig and Kara Kornher both live in condominiums on Sierra Avenue. Photographs depicting

the views from various rooms in their homes were displayed during the meeting, illustrating the project’s impact on their views, based on the story pole placement. Although Wedig said he was “happy” a mixed-use project was being proposed for Solana Beach, he wished it didn’t affect his views. “I don’t believe there is really any disagreement that the major portions of my view will be entirely blocked if the proposed height of the project is approved,” Wedig said. “Not only will the views be blocked, but the building would be so intrusively tall, that the effect would be tantamount (to) going from beach-city living to big-city downtown urban living — an environment where tall buildings overwhelmingly intrude as to produce a walled-in effect.” The view impacts, he added, would have a “detrimental effect” on his property value. “I don’t believe the proposed structure is designed or situated in such a manner as to minimize impairment
BY KRISTINA HOUCK With an architect finally attached to the project, Del Mar is another step closer to a new city hall. The Del Mar City Council on April 6 unanimously authorized the city manager to enter into negotiations with The Miller Hull Partnership, LLP, for design and construction documents for a new city hall, officially beginning the design stage of the project’s master planning process. The firm’s contract is not to exceed $550,000. “I’m looking forward to working with this team,” said Councilman Don Mosier. “We don’t have a design yet, but this is starting to feel like the process is gathering momentum. It’s a really exciting time for all of us who have waited 34-plus years to get a new city hall built in Del Mar.” Since Del Mar initiated the city hall planning process in June 2013, the council has discussed the project at dozens of council meetings, held three public workshops, and issued a citywide survey and online poll. In January, the council appointed five community members to an ad hoc design team selection committee. David Arnold, William Cecil, Dennis Cruzan, Lewis Dominy and Pat JaCoby worked with council liaisons Mosier and Mayor Al Corti, reviewing statements of qualifications to select a design team for the project. After reviewing statements of qualifica-
tions from 14 architectural firms, the committee narrowed the list to three teams: Architects Hanna Gabriel Wells, The Miller Hull Partnership and Safdie Rabines Architects. Each of the three firms submitted proposals and gave presentations to the committee. Upon further review, the committee on March 27 recommended the council direct city staff to enter into negotiations with The Miller Hull Partnership. “From the very get-go, Miller Hull jumped out to me,” said JaCoby, adding that after the presentations, the firm still “popped out as best of the best.” With offices in San Diego and Seattle, The Miller Hull Partnership has designed several local projects, including community buildings for San Ysidro Port of Entry and National City’s Pier 32 Marina, and campus buildings at San Diego Mesa College and UC San Diego. The firm has also worked on six civic center buildings in small Pacific Northwest communities. “At Miller, we’ve designed a lot of city halls and civic centers over the years,” said Mike Jobes, design principal for the project. He, along with managing principal Caroline Kreiser and project manager Kurt Stolle, made brief presentations to the council and showed examples of their previous projects. “Over that time, we’ve developed, I think, a really strong belief that city hall could be much more than just a govern-

Carmel Valley planning board approves SD’s first hydrogen fueling station BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley will soon be home to the first hydrogen fueling station in San Diego. At its March 26 board meeting, the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board voted 12-1 in favor of the 805-square-foot pump by FirstElement at the Shell Station on Carmel Valley Road and Interstate 5. FirstElement is the first company in history to provide a retail hydrogen fueling station network, waiting patiently for the vehicles to take hold and for the market to grow. Dr. Shane Stephens, chief development officer and principal for FirstElement, said the company aims to get approval from the city in the next few months and hopes to start construction by mid-summer. “We’re really excited to come here. This is a big market that’s been untapped,” Stephens said. The state of California is committed to the success of the hydrogen fueling network as Gov. Jerry Brown’s Zero Emission Vehicle (ZEV) Action Plan seeks to have 1 million ZEVs on California roadways by 2020 and 1.5 million by 2025. California plans to have 68 hydrogen fueling stations by the end of 2015 in order to adequately serve the first 20,000 fuel cell electric vehicles. Southern California stations are in Torrance, Los Angeles and Irvine. The California Energy Commission has provided FirstElement with a $27.6 million grant for 19 hydrogen stations. In addition to the state grant money, the company is also receiving financial support from Toyota to build its stations. “It’s a really tough business in the early years,” said Stephens. “We’re heavily dependent on state funding.” The fuel cell electric vehicle uses fuel cells to power an electric motor using oxygen and hydrogen. It takes five minutes for a vehicle to fill a tank for 300 miles or more of driving, 60 to 70 miles per gallon. Initially, hydrogen fuel will have price parity with gasoline; but with more demand, Stephens expects it to be about half the cost of gas. Fuel cell cars on the market include the Toyota Mirai and the Hyundai Tucson, with the Honda Clarity available for lease. In the 12-1 vote, board member Debbie Lokanc voted no because of safety concerns with the new technology. In regard to those concerns, Stephens said that hydrogen is nontoxic, “safer than other fuels, if not safer,” and that their fueling stations have passed a number of safety tests. The

California plans to have 68 hydrogen fueling stations by the end of 2015 to serve the first 20,000 fuel cell electric vehicles. Courtesy photo station would also be surrounded by a fire-resistant barrier wall. “Because of hydrogen’s high dispersion rate — it moves upwards at a speed of 65 feet per second — it is less likely to create a flammable mixture,” said Stephens. “In the unlikely event that hydrogen does catch on fire, in most cases it will create a flare going upwards rather than pooling, sticking to things and engulfing things in flames in the way a liquid fuel like gasoline would do.” The actual pumping station is a modern-looking facility that is 12 feet tall with a 13foot arching canopy. The plan includes landscape enhancements as well as four palm trees to help shield the unit. The walled part of the pumping station is what the planning board would most like to see hidden. In future fueling stations, the components would be underground; but in early stages the equipment is kept above ground in a structure behind the pump.

Planning board OKs stop sign, crosswalk near Overlook Park in Carmel Valley BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board on March 26 approved the installation of a stop sign and crosswalk on High Bluff Drive after a community member-led drive. Sean Coughlin, a 20-year Carmel Valley resident, made the request for the traffic calming measure at High Bluff Drive and Grandvia Point, a three-way intersection that has a “dangerous curve” and has experienced several near-misses. The intersection is near Overlook Park, and there is no safe way for pedestrians to cross the street to access it. “It’s a safety issue for the community,” Coughlin said. Board member Nancy Novak said she lives on the street and could attest to the intersection’s danger. When out walking her dog, she has to be very careful trying to reach the park. “If you don’t look left and then look again, someone can be bearing down on you,” Novak said. “I have to run across the street.” Coughlin said he walked the neighborhood to gather signatures, but admitted his schedule was limited because of his job and parental duties. In two hours on two Saturdays, he said, he gathered 35 signatures in favor of the stop sign. Only one person was against it: a resident on Landfair Road who said a cop posted regularly at a nearby stop sign had ticketed him for rolling through the sign.
Outgoing CV planning board members honored for efforts at final meeting BY KAREN BILLING Outgoing Carmel Valley Community Planning Board members Laura Copic and Nancy Novak received special commendations from San Diego City Council President Sherri Lightner for their “hard work and tireless dedication” at their final board meeting on April 2. As a parting gift, their last meeting stretched past 11 p.m. as they reviewed community projects like stop signs and a potential new school — just a small example of the time they commit to serving on the volunteer board. Copic has been on the planning board for 14 years. “I had two young children and our neighborhood was one of the few in Carmel Valley still being built,” she said. “I was excited about the prospect of being involved in how the development of Carmel Valley unfolded, and having a hand in what kind of neighborhood my children would grow up in.” At the time, the Neighborhood 10 seat was Laura Copic and Nancy Novak filled not by a resident, but by the owner of a received special commendations horse farm in the neighborhood. Copic was en- from the city for their service on the couraged by her neighbors to run against him in Carmel Valley Community Planning the next election. Board. Courtesy photo During her tenure, Copic said she is proudest of persuading the City Council to reject a proposal around 2003 that would have expanded development into the finger canyons, and helping to negotiate an alternative that was acceptable to the developer, city and the community. Copic was heavily involved in fighting the Sunrise Powerlink, which would have put transmission lines along Del Mar Mesa and Torrey Hills, and through the heart of Carmel Valley. “She was a member who without hesitation would take leadership roles on subcommittees,” said Chair Frisco White. “I was most impressed early in her tenure when she volunteered to be the board’s voice for the Sunrise Powerlink project. A not-so-light commitment and sacrifice on her part, being a mother and wife.” Besides her role on the board, she was active in the board’s Livability Subcommittee, Regional Issues Subcommittee and the Neighborhood 10 Maintenance Assessment District Subcommittee. “She represented Neighborhood 10 with enthusiasm, common sense and an ability to get opposing sides to talk and compromise to make her community better,” White said. Anna Yentile was elected in the March elections to take Copic’s place, and Copic said there are plenty of ways to stay involved without being a planning board member. She plans to attend subcommittee meetings as much as she can, including the Carmel Valley/Del Mar Mesa Trail Fund Management Group. Novak, a member of the board for the past four years, was a strong voice for Neighborhood 3 on the One Paseo project. She regularly was a part of regional issues meetings and represented the board at the city’s Community Planning Commission. “Nancy brought a unique perspective to the board discussions with her real estate knowledge of the community,” White said. “Her energy to always be a part of the solution and stepping up to the plate when she was needed for committee assignments was second to none. “I will miss her eagerness to always be learning about planning, project evaluations — being not only a voice for the neighborhood, but for the community, and her desire to do more than what is expected of a board member,” White said. With Novak’s departure, Ken Farinsky will return to the board to represent Neighborhood 3.
WE’D LIKE TO SAY A BIG THANK YOU, MANY TIMES OVER.
To the many thousands of Carmel Valley residents who studied the facts and supported us all through the approval process, a heartfelt thank you. We’re excited about moving forward and creating something amazing, and contributing to the quality of life and abundance of choice here in coastal North County.

Canyon Crest students have ‘Conversations That Matter’ at short-form TEDxYouth event BY DIANE Y. WELCH Drummers pounded out powerful rhythms leading a procession of students into the Proscenium Theatre at Canyon Crest Academy recently. The stimulating beat set the tone on March 29 for a unique experience for students who were selected to attend a short-form TEDxYouth@SanDiego event, called “We Can’t Wait: Conversations That Matter.” Four hundred high school students engaged with leading experts who focused on some of the most urgent themes that affect their generation, aiming to cultivate empathy and widen their circles of compassion. CCA junior Annika Patton served as emcee, introducing presenters who tackled tough issues including violence, race and rape. “We can’t wait until we are in college to learn about these issues,” said Annika in her opening address. Marjorie Nielsen, filmmaker, spoke about campus assault, student rape and hazing. Using audience interaction, a number of students were given colored dots on their ID badges. The 80 green dots represented female victims of on-campus sexual assault, 1 of every 5 women; the 25 blue dots represented males who had been violently assaulted, 1 of every 16 men. Those with the colored dots were asked to stand to visually display the impact of these chilling statistics. Nielsen urged would-be “bystanders to be upstanders,” to do anything to intervene to make the violence stop. Her message of “creating a culture of respect and consent” was clearly shared. Ari Mostov told her own moving story of how she was a victim of rape by a friend. Acquaintance rape is the most common form of sexual assault, she said. “We can and must deserve a higher standard so that all our sexual encounters are positive,” she stressed. “It starts with communication.” Presenter Matthew Emerzian drove home more shocking statistics: “One in 5 high school students have been sexually assaulted, 1 in 5 high school students have EAL STATE IRECTORY seriously thought about suicide, 1 in 5 high school students have been bullied,” he said. “But we can Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices CA Properties A17 tackle this tough stuff,” he affirmed. “We can’t wait to San Diego offices make it better ... we can change from the inside Bob and Kathy Angello A3 out; together we can change the world and it Willis Allen Real Estate, Del Mar starts today.” Catherine & Jason Barry A2 CCA student Jared Gaurano performed his poBarry Estates, Rancho Santa Fe etic interpretation of the of racial stereoColdwell Banker Residential Brokerage A12 & A13 injustice types.

Singer/songwriter Lee Coulter rounded out the evening, performing several original songs. Maya Ziv said that she was looking forward to seeing how students will internalize the shared ideas of respect, consent, honesty, and community, and how they apply them to their own lives. She hopes they face the troubling themes in their own schools and communities head-on, and create more welcoming spaces for people “of all beautiful varieties.” “We’ve heard stories of clubs, events, movements starting in other schools and other places, and that’s what I hope this event will spark — the idea and commitment that we can’t wait for these issues to resolve themselves,” she added.

Del Mar author details digital TV’s local roots in ‘Televisionaries’ book BY DIANE Y. WELCH Del Mar’s Marc Tayer had a feeling that he was part of history when — 25 years ago — the organization he worked for took a technological leap toward the digital revolution. At 6 p.m. April 14, Tayer will give a presentation at the San Diego History Center in Balboa Park on the invention of digital television and how he was at the center of its development, a story told in his book, “Televisionaries: Inside the Chaos and Innovation of the Digital Revolution” (MediaTech Publishing, March 2015). The book captures the full arc of the digital television revolution, featuring the engineers, entrepreneurs, and media titans who made it happen, said Tayer. Its major themes retell how digital technology was invented and how it spread around the globe; corporate innovation; the growth of media broadcasting and the entertainment business; where the technology is today; and where it is heading for the future. While many know the history of computers and the Internet revolution, the history of digital TV was in danger of being lost to time, said Tayer. “The invention of digital TV is global, yet the fact that the technology originated here is really not known anymore,” said Tayer. “At the time, almost 25 years ago, it was big headlines and many heard about it — but now people are stunned when they hear that it actually started in San Diego.” During the 1980s, it was widely believed that the Japanese would become the leaders in media technology with their invention of HDTV. However, it was based on expensive and limited analog technology. When digital TV came along, attention was diverted from Japan to General Instrument (GI), the innovator behind the revolutionary digital TV, winning an FCC competition to radically change the television broadcast standard becoming the Grand Alliance standard by 1996. In the 1990s, Tayer worked in GI’s business development

and marketing department, having transferred from its New York headquarters to its San Diego division in 1987. On his return from a business trip to Japan, he was told that he had a new role heading up GI’s core team, pulling the nascent digital television project together. “It was my job to bring our new digital TV technology out of our research and development labs and turn it into a profitable business,” Tayer recalled. As the core team leader, Tayer coordinated the various activities (engineering, marketing, sales, operations, finance and more), overseeing the project while shepherding it through its various milestones and development phases. Initially the project was top secret. The widely held industry opinion was that transforming television from its analog roots to the zeros and ones of computers was impossible. But GI was confident that its engineers could develop the world’s first digital television system. The announcement of GI’s digital system upset the status quo on three continents. “Digital TV would soon became a reality for consumers throughout the world, and the media business was forever changed,” said Tayer. Getting the technology to market had three distinct phases: In its infancy, the technology was developed through computer simulations reading algorithms running on the most powerful computers of the day. “Even then, we could only get a
few seconds of video to look at,” recalled Tayer. The second stage came in 1991 with a one-off prototype, an extremely complex product that had yet to be refined. And while it was not sellable, it did allow realtime digital video processing. The third stage was the actual firstgeneration product, which was ready for market in 1992. “HBO stepped up and agreed to field-test it with their cable TV affiliates ... kicking off the digital television era,” said Tayer. Tayer remained in the digital TV business as it evolved over the next quarter century, working in a variety of roles, but still in marketing and business development. He left in 2001, co-founding two tech start-up companies. “Before we invented digital television, cable had 95 percent market share of TV subscriptions,” said Tayer. “Today, services like Direct TV, Dish Network and AT&T are readily available, with cable having 50 percent market share, but of a much bigger pie. None of these businesses would have been able to launch without our invention. It led to the real first competition to cable, in addition to HDTV, more channels, DVR and now Internet TV.” Visit http://www.sandiegohistory.org/ Televisionaries to buy tickets for Tayer’s presentation at the San Diego History Center.

Rady Foundation commits $100 million to benefit UCSD Rady School of Management UC San Diego has announced that the Rady Family Foundation has made a $100 million commitment to help recruit and retain faculty and fund strategic priorities at the Rady School of Management. “What a magnificent first 10 years — and the school is just getting started,” said Ernest Rady. “Dean Sullivan and other leaders within the community held a vision of a business school in a symbiotic relationship with the innovative culture of our region. The school is already exceeding expectations, and there is so much more to come.” For Rady, one of San Diego’s most prominent philanthropists and business leaders, this recent commitment to the Rady School is driven by his “Return on Life (ROL)” philosophy. “We want the resources that we’ve been fortunate enough to accumulate to go to help other people,” he explained.

Labrador Rescuers host Casino Night April 18 BY KAREN BILLING Labrador Rescuers will present their third annual Wild West Bets for Pets Casino Night from 5-11 p.m. April 18 at Phil’s BBQ Event Center. Labrador Rescuers was established to rescue and rehabilitate stray, abandoned or unwanted Labs to be placed in new forever homes. Tickets are $50 a person and include dinner from Phil’s BBQ, desserts, one drink ticket, $100 in gaming chips, 10 opportunity drawing tickets and silent auction The Labrador Rescuers’ April 18 “Wild West Bets for items. Maria Goldman, presi- Pets” event will support rescue dogs like Cali. Courtesy dent of Labrador Rescuers, photo said the organization rescues about 375 dogs a year. Many of the dogs they take in from shelters have medical needs that the shelters don’t have the resources to provide, such as dogs who were hit by cars and need surgery to save their legs or replace a hip. “That’s where we step in,” Goldman said, noting that the organization is run completely by volunteers and 100 percent of donations received go toward the expenses of rehabilitating and rehoming the animals. One dog up for adoption right now is Markie, who was born blind. Thanks to donations to Labrador Rescuers, he was able to receive needed surgeries and treatments, and is now ready for a new home. The Wild West Bets for Pets is the first fundraiser event of the year and goes a long way toward keeping Labrador Rescuers running until their big charity event in September. The organization frequently holds adoption events at area Petco stores. The next will be from 10 a.m.-noon Saturday, April 11 at Petco on Clairemont Mesa Boulevard. Tickets for Wild West Bets for Pets must be purchased in advance and will not be available at the door. To buy tickets or learn more about adoptable labs, visit labrescuers.org.

Brownies, Daisies learn about construction at Pacific Trails Middle School site BY KAREN BILLING Outfitted in hard hats and orange safety vests that hit below their knees, Girl Scout Daisies and Brownies toured the Pacific Trails Middle School construction site on April 2 to learn about what it takes to build a 74,000-square-foot school. The San Dieguito Union High School campus in Pacific Highlands Ranch is set to welcome 237 seventh-graders when construction is completed in the fall. And as Principal Mary Anne Nuskin told the girls, they still have a lot of work to do through summer. K. Grace Chan, project manager for Balfour Beatty Construction, compared the project to building a sand castle — on a much larger scale. “Something this big, I need a lot of help,” Chan said, telling the girls she had to assemble a strong team to get the project done right. The girls represented Troops 2203, 3164 and 3894, with firstand second-grade students from Escondido Christian and Sunset Hills. Cecilia Kucharski, the Brownie Troop 3894 leader, is the director of business development for Balfour Beatty, and April Medlin, leader of Brownie Troop 2203, is a division project accountant manager for Balfour Beatty. It was stressed to the girls multiple times on the tour the many different construction careers they could choose to explore. The troops got a sneak peek of all six buildings under construction on the campus, including the multi-use room, the spacious gym where the outline of the future school stage was in view, and one of the science labs in the two-story classroom building. As they entered different spaces, Chan pointed out the foundation and the wiring and framing that make up “the guts of the building.” “What’s the pink stuff?” asked one troop member of the cotton-candy pink fluff of insulation in the future multi-use room. Chan pointed out that the big, dusty expanse between classroom buildings would one day be a grassy quad space for students, and that the big circles painted on the ground represented trees. As much as she could, Chan introduced the girls to different members of the construction team, from electricians to plumbers. “As a good leader, you have to know everybody’s names and appreciate what they do,” she said.

Tour de Cure sets wheels in motion at fairgrounds April 18 to help diabetes research BY KRISTINA HOUCK Hundreds of cyclists are expected to raise awareness and funds for diabetes research, education and advocacy during the annual Tour de Cure on April 18 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. “We try and make events that provide people with a way to make a difference for themselves, both physically and mentally, and be involved in helping find a cure,” said John Correia, associate director of the American Diabetes Association’s greater San Diego area chapter, which covers San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino and Imperial counties. “That’s what Tour de Cure is all about.” Founded in 1960, the local chapter hosts the cycling event and three walks every year to support the national association’s mission to prevent and cure diabetes and improve the lives of all people affected by the disease. The American Diabetes Association has funded innovative research to combat diabetes since 1955. In 2010, the association funded more than $34 million in research at 125 leading research institutions across the country. The local Tour de Cure is part of the association’s annual event, which first took place in 1991 in California and New York. Today, there are cycling events in 44 states. Nearly 850 people participated in the local Tour de Cure last year, raising $365,000. The event, which took place in Temecula, was originally scheduled for Torrey Pines High School but was postponed after the 2014 wildfires. This year, the chapter expects close to 1,000 participants with the goal to raise $420,000. Funds will benefit diabetes research, education and advocacy. “This is our first year at the Del Mar Fairgrounds and we’re very excited about that,” Correia said. ‘We are very hopeful to make the Del Mar Fairgrounds our start and finish location going forward. We think it’s a great location, and we think the community is very excited about the opportunity to partner with us and raise awareness.” More than 2.5 million people are living with diabetes in the local chapter’s area. Almost 30 million people have diabetes in the United States. Approximately 1.7 million Americans will be diagnosed with the disease this year. San Diego native Guillermo Ybarra is one of the millions of Americans who has battled diabetes. Ybarra recalled driving on July 4, 2013, when his vision became blurry. When he awakened the next morning with blurry vision again, he made a doctor’s appointment. He was soon diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes at the age of 34. “I was kind of in denial,” said Ybarra, a Chula Vista resident whose parents have diabetes. His cousin also lost his sight from the disease. “I didn’t want to believe this could happen to me. How could I be OK one minute and not the next?” Despite his diagnosis, Ybarra did not change his eating and exercise habits. At his heaviest, he was 369 pounds. When he finally decided to make a change, he took up some active hobbies, including cycling, and joined a weight-loss program. Now 36, he has lost 119 pounds and is diabetes-free.
Above: Ybarra is more active now than he was when he first got his diabetes diagnosis. Right: He lost 119 pounds and is diabetes-free. “It is amazing,” Ybarra said. “It was one of my goals to beat diabetes.” He will be riding in the upcoming Tour de Cure for the second consecutive year. During the event there will be four different routes: a 100-mile, 62-mile and 29-mile ride, as well as a 1-mile loop Family Fun Ride. The 29-mile ride is symbolic of the almost 30 million Americans with diabetes. “This event makes me feel like I’m not alone,” Ybarra said. “We’re all in this together.” There will be more than 25 vendors, a taco truck and beer available at the event. All participants will receive a free lunch and medal. Those who raise $1,000 or more will receive VIP treatment with a massage and a free beer. All riders participating in the Tour de Cure can also register for the 2016 Tour de Cure for free. “We’re always looking for volunteers, and we’re always looking for people to help us move our mission forward with donations,” Correia said. “Donations of any amount are always welcome.” For information or to register for the American Diabetes Association San Diego Tour de Cure, visit www.diabetes.org/sandiegotourdecure. Enter “LUCKY7REG” to register for the event for just $7. Participants must raise a minimum of $200.

The match ended with a 3-1 score, with Surf Academy Select earning the bragging rights. This win solidifies this squad as one of the best U13 lineups in the country. This is the first team in the history of San Diego Surf Soccer club to win this prestigious tournament. Most of these players will be joining the USS Development Academy program in the coming season. Congratulations to the team and coach Steve Hill for ending the season in such high note.

Fairen Del donating percentage of sales to charities Fairen Del is giving back to the community and supporting local San Diego charities by donating a percentage of its monthly sales. “Our family of stores have been part of the San Diego community for over 23 years, and while we give to nearly every local and regional charity who request donations throughout the year, we wanted to do just a bit more,” said owner Irina Rachow. “So each month we have decided to donate a percentage of our cumulative sales to a charitable foundation who has touched the lives of at least one of our staff members.” The National MS Society-San Diego Chapter received a donation for March 2015 and the Helen Woodward Animal Center will receive a donation for April 2015. Other San Diego-based charities will be selected to receive donations throughout the rest of the year. Fairen Del is a fashion boutique in Del Mar’s Flower Hill Promenade. The store sells luxury items, including handbags, jewelry, apparel and more.

Education Matters/Opinion Enrollment study group wraps up its work BY MARSHA SUTTON The fourth and final meeting of San Dieguito Union High School District’s enrollment study group was held Feb. 17 and was, as requested in my Feb. 5 column, open to the public, unlike the three previous meetings. After referencing applicable Brown Act clauses as evidence that the meetings should be open, I asked the district what basis it had for closing the meetings. That legal evidence was never forthcoming, even though district officials said counsel had been asked to provide support to back its position. I maintain to this day that the closed meetings were illegal, and the district maintains to this day that it had every right to keep the meetings closed. Once the decision was made to open the meetings to the public, apparently the directive to the lawyers was dropped. Yet SDUHSD superintendent Rick Schmitt said at the Feb. 19 board meeting that the study group meetings were “not illegal and fully transparent.” Although the point is now moot, it would be best not to continue to say the closed meetings were legal if evidence is not provided to support that position. The issue remains relevant to ensure that future meetings don’t violate open meetings laws. At SDUHSD’s Feb. 5 board meeting, trustee John Salazar advocated for open meetings, and asked, “How much is it costing the district to ‘lawyer up’ to defend against the view that the boundary meetings should be open?” Trustee Maureen “Mo” Muir agreed. “We need transparency in the district with boundary meetings,” she said. SDUHSD associate superintendent of educational services Mike Grove said, “It’s an ad hoc committee and not decision-making,” he said. “We can open it up, but is that in the best interest?” “It’s ethical to open it up,” Muir responded, saying she’d like to attend the study group meetings. Grove further justified the closed meetings, saying they were transparent because the district posted reports on its website after each meeting. But how would the public know the reports were complete, without being present? Pre-screened information can be incomplete, misleading or non-descriptive. Debates need to be heard to gain a full understanding of what has transpired. Someone choosing which information to select for public disclosure is not transparency. Study group member Sarah Gardner, who spoke at the Feb. 5 meeting, raised another reason why the meetings should remain closed. She said members would be reluctant to speak up and share their thoughts openly if they knew the press might be there to report what was said. “The focus should be on the information instead of attacking the process,” Gardner said. But at the open Feb. 17 study group meeting, it was clear that the presence of the public and the press did not deter a lively conversation and healthy debate about
boundaries and enrollment. Members were actively engaged as they discussed all their options. Comparing the open and closed meetings, several members said afterward they saw no difference in the level of engagement and free discussion. Grove also argued that if the public and press only heard piecemeal discussions without the background given to members in the early meetings, incomplete or inaccurate information might be transmitted. “Snippets only lead to greater confusion,” he said. Ironically, at the conclusion of that fourth study group meeting, members all agreed that the public needed to be better informed of the facts and legal constraints facing the district. Too bad the press and public weren’t allowed to sit in on the meetings from the start, so more information could have been disseminated earlier. Next steps The next step in the process, now that the study group meetings have concluded, is to reach out to the community directly. In March, Grove held four “town hall” meetings to inform interested parents of the five boundary proposals under consideration, and provide foundational background information on the process and legal requirements associated with boundary changes and enrollment options. He’ll hold several more town hall meetings for elementary families April 14 and 15, and the district will then conduct a survey of district and elementary families in late April. “After that, I will see how complex the feedback is,” Grove said in an email. The study group may reconvene (in another open meeting, hopefully) to review and analyze the feedback from the town hall meetings and surveys. That would likely be in May, Grove said. But another meeting is uncertain. “I don’t want to have a meeting just to have a meeting,” he said. “If the group can help … then we’d meet. If there’s no real purpose to meet, then we wouldn’t.” Grove hopes to present the information to the school board in June, for trustees to discuss, consider and make a final decision on possible boundary and enrollment policy changes. The study group will make no recommendation. The wrap-up With the study group meetings concluded, consultant Leonard Steinberg has ended his contract with the district to facilitate the meetings. Now that Steinberg’s services are no longer needed, the final bill has been tallied. Grove said the total amount paid to Steinberg for facilitating the four meetings came to $22,452.50 – that’s 64.15 hours of work at $350 per hour. Steinberg’s contract and his hourly rate were approved by the school board last year by a vote of 4 to 1, with Salazar opposed. The vote was taken before Muir was seated on the school board. Since taking the oath of office, Muir – along with Salazar – has repeatedly objected to the cost to hire Steinberg, as have many in the community. After witnessing a portion of the open fourth study group meeting, I felt Steinberg

did a decent job, despite my criticism of his hourly rate. Still, someone from the County Office of Education could certainly have led these meetings, at no charge, just as effectively. Twenty-two thousand dollars is a lot of money for a district that’s always scrambling for funds. At the start of that fourth meeting, Steinberg moderated a discussion about the press, as members wanted to discuss whether the meetings should be open or closed. A conversation about the proper role of the media is absolutely appropriate, given the controversy over the study group’s transparency. And a conversation about the content of my column calling for open meetings, also seems on task.
But how long should a skilled facilitator let a judgmental discussion continue in a large group format about one writer, criticizing her knowledge, motives and credibility? Thanks to Rick Schmitt for calling a halt to the public pile-on and for recognizing that the subject was offtopic, inappropriate and a waste of both time and money – and thanks also to Mo Muir who offered a public apology on behalf of the board. I’ve certainly been called worse things than a pot-stirrer and had my writing ability challenged, but is this really a topic worth $350 an hour of the district’s money? — Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@ gmail.com.
SDUHSD Superintendent Rick Schmitt’s monthly update: New tests, school enrollment Superintendent Rick Schmitt plans to update the greater San Dieguito Union High School District community with a monthly update. Topics will include curriculum, facilities, budget, enrollment, safety, and other specific and special interest topics. Today’s update focuses on new California assessments and school enrollment. The smarter balanced tests reflect higher, more rigorous standards In late April, students across the San Rick Schmitt Dieguito Union High School District will prepare to take the new Smarter Balanced (SBAC) assessments in grades 7-8 and 11 as a component of the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP). These tests have been designed to assess both content knowledge as well as critical thinking skills in our students. As I have noted in previous columns, this is a significant shift from what former state standardized tests expected of our students. The former exams focused solely on academic content and material that could be memorized and focused on students’ ability to recall information. The new instructional shifts that are occurring in Common Core classrooms throughout the state include an increase in reading, writing, speaking, and 21st-century skills, and cannot be assessed relying solely on student recall. We have always prided ourselves on the deep level of cognitive rigor that occurs in our classrooms and realize that this new type of assessment will only enhance our students’ academic future and ultimately benefit them in being college- and career-ready. For many years, our AP and Honors students have been assessed on critical thinking skills. Furthermore, the SAT and ACT have been aligned to the Common Core standards and will also assess critical thinking skills. It is important to note that the SBAC assessments are the culmination of ongoing collaboration between the K-12 school community and our post-secondary institutions. As noted in a letter from the leaders of the University of California, California State University, California Community Colleges and the Association of Independent California Colleges and Universities (e.g., University of Southern California and Stanford) systems to the State Board of Education in 2014, “Our collaborative efforts will help ensure that the tests measure standards that our K-12 and higher education systems all agree address appropriate expectations for the preparation of high school graduates who are ready to succeed. It is critical that students arrive at college better prepared for the kind of inquiry-based learning and collaborative problem-solving that defines 21st-century learning. These assessments align with our commitment to new learning outcomes to ensure our graduates are ready to succeed in an increasingly complex global environment.” The education community realizes the need to shift to a See SCHMITT, page 19

Letters to the editor/Opinion Review the projects, note their differences
Watermark project is too big for Del Mar
Facts without intimidation need be adhered to by Watermark proponents ... Let’s begin: Location — southeast corner of Jimmy Durante Boulevard and San Dieguito Road is zoned commercial. Already city approved and permitted for commercial project “Riverview” by Batter Kay. Watermark now proposes high-density residential zoning change for a 48-family dwelling compound development, on this important and environmentally sensitive land site. Bad behavior needs to be stopped. First, proponents of Watermark still utilize and disseminate old, inaccurate drawing/renditions describing what this project will look like. These drawings are wrong. Senior planner for Del Mar Adam Birnbaum has exclaimed, he does not know what this development is to look like, other than Watermark’s most recent drawing submission. Accordingly, all past and other drawings are creating incorrect inferences which need be discarded. The real rendition of Watermark, to date, is herein displayed. Rendition of the already permitted Riverview project is also herein displayed. Compare what has already been deemed acceptable vs. Watermark proposal. Vastly different! How could all the environmental concerns achieved through the Riverview process be missing from the Watermark proposal? Second, comments by city, state of California might take over the city of Del Mar for inefficiencies with its affordable housing code, is a patently incorrect and scare tactic which quiets concerned citizens. Truth of the matter is: City problems concerning requisite affordable housing is a dilemma for a multitude of cities throughout California. California does not enforce this requirement through state takeover of cities. Never have and do not intend to so. The only mechanism utilized by state government is to request revision of the cities housing code. Review the two project renditions, observe their differences, ask what happened to all the environmental concerns achieved by Riverview. Connect with and be updated through the Del Mar Hillside Community Association, delmarhillside@yahoo.com, Arnold Wiesel, President
The design of the Watermark project is not like anything else in Del Mar. The proposed density of 48 units makes it larger than all the homes on nearby Heather Lane, David Way and Christy Lane combined. The developer has stated that traffic will only marginally increase, but currently those of us in the area are completely blocked in on too many days during the fair and racing season. That in itself is a safety issue, but to purposely increase that risk seems grossly unfair and negligent. It is time to get the real facts out there. Let’s not lose the character of Del Mar with this oversized development. Barbara Myers Del Mar

more accurate testing system that truly assesses the deep level of knowledge and skills necessary to be successful in today’s ever-evolving world. With the introduction of the new standardized testing system, the state of California has taken the unprecedented step of suspending the statewide accountability system in place since 1999 that included a school Academic Performance Index (API). Though each school site will not have an API for this year, we will be able to provide each student with an individual score report. Student Score Reports will be sent home to parents over the summer and will include an overall score, a description of the student’s achievement level for English-Language Arts and Mathematics, and other information. It is important to note that these scores cannot be compared with scores that your child previously received on the STAR Program tests, because this test is based on the new Common Core State Standards, involves different types of test questions, and will not be reported using the STAR Program reporting categories. We look forward to working with our schools, teachers, and families as we begin this new era of assessment in California. Our school principals will be continually communicating in regard to testing dates for our schools as well as resources available for students and parents to provide ongoing support during this time of change.
Middle school and high school enrollment On March 18, we were very excited to announce that all students who legally participated in our high school selection process this spring were admitted to their school of choice for the 2015-16 school year. This included all incoming freshmen as well as all uppergrade students. We were able to accomplish this thanks to working diligently to efficiently utilize existing facilities at each of our high schools and due to increased long-range capacity solutions at three of our high schools, all part of our long-range facilities master plan and the associated Prop AA funding. Our goal each year is to do our very best to accommodate all students at their first-choice school. In addition to high school enrollment, we were also able to admit close to 600 transfers among our five middle schools for the 2015-16 school year. Every SDUHSD middle school student who applied for an intra-district transfer to a middle school within our district was approved for the 2015-16 school year. This was due to available capacity at each middle school, including Carmel Valley MS for the first time in a decade. With the fall 2015 open-

I hope you will join us for a great day of giving the Earth the love and appreciation it deserves. At home, my family and I try to do our part whenever possible. We have removed more than 6,000 square feet of lawn and replaced it with artificial turf to save some 264,000 gallons of water annually. Our photovoltaic panels collect energy from the sun. We are strict about recycling and composting, and I drive a Prius, one of the cleanest vehicles sold in the U.S. At work, my colleagues and I are determined to advance programs that promote longterm environmental sustainability in our region. When creating new initiatives, we collaborate with environmental groups and trade associations. By working together, we have made progress that will have a lasting impact on the county and the planet. Our Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) program allows property owners to finance energy- or water-efficiency improvements through payments on their property tax bills. PACE is responsible for hundreds of new jobs throughout the county. Upon my direction, the county is developing a “Zero Waste” plan, with a goal of diverting 75 percent of the waste stream from landfills by 2020. Recently, Supervisor Dianne Jacob and I received a 4-1 vote and support from the Building Industry Association to incorporate “green building codes” into our policies so new structures would be pre-wired for solar panels and electric vehicle charging. To learn more about these initiatives and how all of us can go green, visit my booth at the Earth Fair. I’ll see you there! Dave Roberts is vice chairman of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. ing of our new Pacific Trails MS, we had enough capacity at each of our five middle schools to accommodate all transfer requests, which means that each middle school student will also attend his or her first-choice school in 2015-16. Transfers are from within SDUHSD boundaries. SDUHSD does not accept students from outside the school district. Moving forward, we continue to work with our community to examine how we can best accommodate enrollment demand at our high schools in the future. Our High School Enrollment Study Group has hosted four community workshops over the last month to educate community members about enrollment options and to seek feedback on options. Over the next month, we will host additional workshops for families in our elementary feeder schools. Upon completion of these workshops, we will survey our community regarding enrollment topics and then present to our Board of Trustees all of the information gathered from the community. Any resulting changes to our enrollment practices would take effect with the 2016-17 school year at the earliest and would not impact students already enrolled in our high schools at that time.

VACCINATIONS diseases, including measles, mumps, and pertussis, and any other disease determined appropriate in the future. The only exemption allowed would be for medical reasons; Mississippi and West Virginia are the only states to allow no opt-outs except for medical reasons. “For me, I keep coming back to the overarching concern that there are increasing numbers of unvaccinated students in this area,” said district Board President Beth Hergesheimer, noting some numbers are above what is considered safe for public health. All of the district’s feeder school districts exceed the threshold established by the state of 2.5 percent for unvaccinated children. The highest opt-out rates are at Olivenhain Pioneer at 16 percent, Encinitas Union with 11.6 percent, and Rancho Santa Fe School District with about 8 percent. The Del Mar Union School District has about a 3.8 percent opt-out rate and Solana Beach district is at 3.3 percent. Six parents spoke against the bill during public comment, arguing in favor of informed consent. Kelly Haas said that she doesn’t want the “sensationalized account” of the Disneyland measles outbreak to drive this bill. Haas said there have been zero deaths due to measles reported since 2003, while 108 deaths can be attributed to the MMR (measles, mumps and rubella) vaccine. Amy Mitten-Smith said her son had extreme reactions to vaccinations and said they can cause autism and other neurological disorders, adding that the National Vaccine Injury Compensation Program has paid out $2.8 billion to those who suffered adverse effects. “Why are children asked to carry an unsafe burden?” asked parent Ivana Nedic. “I’m calling for safe, ethical and individual vaccine practices, I’m calling for the choice to say yes, I’m calling for the choice to say no, I’m calling for the choice of freedom.” David Jackson said he’s raised his family on the values of faith and freedom, and the
DEVELOPMENT of views,” he said. “Nor do I believe the proposed structure is compatible with the immediate neighborhood character.” “It’s a really beautiful view that I would be sad to lose,” added Kornher, who has lived in her home for almost 19 years. Both residents said they had not heard from anyone at American Assets regarding their concerns. Wedig said he made multiple requests to meet with someone from the company, but no one contacted him. “The applicant never attempted to contact me regarding negotiations,” he said. “Therefore, I believe it is fair to say that the applicant for the structure development permit has not made a reasonable attempt to resolve the view and permit issues with me.” Tracy Richmond, a local attorney and former VAC member, said he believed views at both properties would be affected by the project. “The company really hasn’t done anything to address the views,” he said. Although American Assets did not directly respond to the applicants, Gabriel said he contacted Wedig and Kornher and visited their properties. “After our assessment of their views and looking at the project, we did not see a solution,” he said. In addition, Gabriel said the company invited homeowners associations to commu-

freedom of religion was what the country was built upon. He said there has to be a better solution than SB 277. “I’m not so much anti-vaccine, but prosafety and the freedom of choice,” said parent Bo Molocznik. “This bill rips that away from us.” Trustee John Salazar, who requested that the bill come before the board, said he had heard what the parents had to say regarding the issues of religious and personal freedoms, but noted that his job as an elected official is to look out for the greater good of society. Salazar remarked on how lucky people are to have vaccines, speaking about how before Jonas Salk developed the polio vaccine, the disease was a huge fear among families in the 1950s and thousands of children were crippled by polio. As early as five years ago, he said, there was an outbreak in India and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation stepped in to provide vaccinations. He was then shouted down by parents about Bill Gates’ methods to provide health care and vaccinations to underdeveloped countries. “I absolutely feel that we, as a school board, should support this bill,” Salazar said. “We’re elected to look out for the welfare of children and teachers in this district.” He reminded those expressing their frustration at the board’s action that the trustees are elected, and in the next election they could let their votes speak. One anti-SB 277 parent approached the board at the conclusion the meeting and apologized for the heated reactions. SB 277 is now moving through the Senate health and fiscal committees and must pass the Senate floor by June 5. If the bill goes to the Assembly, it must pass the floor by Sept. 11. Brian Stenzler, president of the California Chiropractic Association, said that while the vote may be symbolic, it carries a lot of weight.

nity workshops, where residents were encouraged to ask questions and submit comments. After the meetings, he said his team received letters from the associations “showing complete unanimous support for the project.” “It catches me off guard, I gotta say, when the applicants came in and said we’ve completely disregarded or made no attempt to work with them, when we honestly thought we were making serious attempts to work with the community,” said Gabriel, who said his team received no comments regarding the project’s scale or height. The VAC sided with the applicants. As an advisory board, the VAC must make five findings when making recommendations to council: The applicant has made a reasonable attempt to resolve view impairment issues; the proposed structure does not significantly impair view from public property; the proposed structure is designed and situated to minimize view impairment; there are no significant cumulative view impairments; and the proposed structure is compatible with immediate surrounding neighborhood character. VAC members could not make most of the findings, particularly that the applicant made a reasonable attempt to resolve view impairment issues and that the proposed structure is designed and situated to minimize view impairment.

ARREST had been living with his parents in Fairbanks Ranch. Doshay is the son of Glenn and Karen Doshay, wellknown philanthropists in San Diego. Glenn Doshay is a San Diego businessman and a minority stake owner of the San Diego Padres. Doshay’s brother lives near Skyline School but officials said there is no connection — to their knowledge — among the suspect, the victim and the school. Doshay’s arrest occurred nine days after the incident. Witnesses reported seeing a man about 3:30 p.m. March 23 on the campus on Lomas Santa Fe Drive. Although authorities initially said they did not believe the man physically assaulted the girl, they learned after talking with the victim that she fought the suspect as he threatened her. The suspect approached the girl as she was heading to an after-school program. He reportedly told her that if she wanted to see her mother again, she should cooperate. He allegedly put his hand over her mouth, tried to wrap packing tape around her head and attempted to pick her up, ac-

The girl kicked and screamed, attracting the attention of teachers and staff. The suspect ran. The girl was not physically injured. The victim’s father detailed the attempted kidnapping in a mass email March 24 to help catch the suspect and prevent similar incidents. In the email, he encouraged parents to talk with their children about “stranger danger.” “Never in our wildest dreams would we think this could happen to us,” he wrote. “Please forward to as many people you can to help prevent it from hap-
pening to others.” The email, which was shared on local blogs and social media sites, helped bring attention to the case. Based on the accounts of the victim, teachers and staff, the Sheriff’s Department released a composite sketch March 24 of the suspect. The suspect was described as a white man in his 40s, about 6 feet tall with a medium build, light brown hair and tan skin. According to booking records, Doshay is 6 feet 2 inches tall, 165 pounds, with blond hair and blue eyes. Volunteers helped distribute the sketch to local businesses around the community. In the days after the incident, the Sheriff’s Department and San Diego County Crime Stoppers received more than 150 calls and tips. The department looked at several potential suspects, Gore said, but detectives focused on Doshay. “San Diego County families can sleep a little bit better knowing that one less threat isn’t out there on the street,” said Paeske, who thanked friends, neighbors, police and the greater community. “Now we begin the process of healing.”
Stating that “views are part of the city’s DNA,” VAC member Jack Hegenauer said the views from both units “are significant, and the impairment is not only significant, but it’s actually rather complete.” “It’s pretty clear that not much, if anything, has been done to minimize view impairment,” he said. “The record is virtually devoid of any meaningful communication between the applicant and the appellants,” he added. “I think the appellants asked for some consideration. What they got in return was a visitation to their properly to see the situation. But their further attempts to communicate with the architect and further up the line, up the food chain, were pretty much rebuffed.” His colleagues agreed. “The design certainly is not set up to minimize impairment,” said VAC member Dean Pasko. “There is a potential for significant cumulative impacts.” “There didn’t seem to be an attempt to resolve the view impairments as brought forth by the appellants,” added VAC member Rebecca Lawson. The VAC denied the project 4-0-1, with two members absent. With the commission’s recommendations, the council will make the final decision on the project.

SECURITY thing right. She started everything in motion so that the district staff could help scare this suspect away and avert the actual kidnapping. I don’t know her, but I’m proud of her.” After the attempted kidnapping, the district announced it was reviewing and refining its safety protocols to ensure student safety before and after school. The district also declared it would implement new protocols to make sure students safely transition to after-school programs. District and school officials held a meeting for Skyline School parents following the incident to answer questions, hear concerns and inform them about new safety measures. Among the new measures, the district approved a contract with Elite Services for a security guard at Skyline School. The security guard has since been in place from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. every school day. During a special meeting on Friday, April 3, the Solana Beach School Board ratified a $5,500 contract for security guard services through April 30, when the district expects to have additional fencing in place. The board also approved a contract with American Fence Company for a district-wide fencing project — a project that board members approved earlier this year. At Skyline School, the district is installing a gate with buzzer access at the entrance to the campus. American Fence Company was to begin work on Monday, April 6, the start of Spring Recess, and should have the gate finished by the end of the break. Also on the district’s list of Skyline improvements is raising the gate around the kindergarten yard and temporarily blocking the open access points around the campus
until permanent fencing is installed. “All of our other schools are completely enclosed during the day, where you have to go through an entry point,” explained Superintendent Nancy Lynch. “At Skyline, you are told to go through the office, but you can get onto campus without going through the office. It is the only school that’s like that.” As part of the already approved project, the district is installing fencing at Skyline, as well as the district office, Solana Highlands School and Solana Ranch School. Caroline Brown, director of technology and new facilities, noted there are more than 30 gates at the district headquarters, where the Child Development Center is also located. “We’re looking at all of the campuses,” Brown said. In the near future, the district plans to also install or enhance fencing at all its schools, including entirely around Skyline’s perimeter and around the kindergarten playground at Solana Vista School. Because of this, American Fence Company’s accepted not-to-exceed $166,225 bid includes perunit pricing valid through June 2016 for other identified projects. The board also authorized staff to solicit bids from companies for a district-wide multi-camera security system. Staff expects the system to cost $200,000 to $300,000. Some board members said the costs could be more, but they all agreed such a system is needed. Board member Richard Leib, an attorney whose professional background includes legislation for red-light cameras, noted that not everyone would be in favor of the cam-
eras. “Be aware. We got criticism for not having cameras; we’re going to have criticism for having cameras,” Leib said. “I think, given the situation, it is vital that we go ahead and do this. I think a lot of other schools will follow suit.” “Whatever is done should be part of a long-range master plan,” added board vice president Debra Schade. “It can’t be a BandAid.” In addition to plans for a new window in the front door at Skyline’s main office, the district is considering installing a camera near the school’s new gate so the front desk clerk can see visitors enter the gate after they sign in, Lynch said. The board didn’t decide how and when footage would be monitored for the districtwide system, but Lynch did note that not all of the district’s safety measures would be made public. “We share a lot of our security measures that we’re putting in, but there are some measures we will not share,” she said. “We do not publicly want to say what we’re doing to protect children at all times, so that if someone wants to do harm, they know exactly what our plan is.” District staff has met with staff from area school districts for information and suggestions regarding such a security camera system. In a meeting early on Friday, April 3, Lynch learned from Tom Bennett, the head of schools at Santa Fe Christian Schools, that the Solana Beach-based campus has a system that captures the license plates of every car that enters and exits the parking lot. Staff plans to bring the winning bid to
the board for approval in May so that the cameras could be installed over the summer. Further emphasizing student safety, in April, Play It Safe Defense will hold assemblies at every district school, as well as the Solana Beach Child Development Center. The board ratified a $2,250 contract with the San Diego-based company, which offers programs designed to teach children the importance of awareness and appropriate boundaries through role-play. Two educational meetings for district parents will also be held at Skyline and Solana Pacific schools. Sheriff’s officials will be in attendance at the student presentations and parent meetings, Lynch said. “It’s a fantastic program,” said board member Julie Union, whose daughters have participated in it. Besides a temporary security guard, new fencing, safety assemblies and a potential video camera system, the district is looking at other ways to enhance security at Skyline and its other schools. Some board members suggested reconfiguring the main lobbies at schools so that front office personnel can easily see the campus entrances. Such a project could be funded by a general obligation bond. The district is exploring whether to place a bond on the 2016 ballot. Board members also suggested establishing a committee, which would include parent representatives, to explore safety procedures. “The focus right now is on one school; we want to make sure we reach them all,” Schade said.

toured Skyline and compiled a list of recommended security measures for the site. The district plans to have the specialists tour the other school sites, too. They recommended installing mirrors in dark or secluded areas and trimming shrubs to increase visibility, among other ideas. During the meeting, Rivers emphasized the need for a single access point to Skyline, which the district is ensuring by temporarily blocking all access points until permanent fencing is installed. “Having one site where everyone comes on campus and leaves is a good idea,” said Rivers who pointed to Stone Ranch Elementary School and Del Norte High School in 4S Ranch as good examples of secured school sites. The board also heard from parents, who reiterated some of the safety protocols the district is implementing or considering. Speaking on behalf of a group of parents who compiled a list of suggestions, Colleen Curtin asked the district to make all exterior fences at least 6 feet high, install security cameras at all schools, reconfigure school lobbies and add buzzer systems. “I would like to thank the board and the district for taking prompt and successful efforts to alleviate the situation over the past few weeks,” said Curtin, whose children at-

tend Carmel Creek and Solana Santa Fe elementary schools. “Thank you in advance for giving thoughtful consideration to these additional safety measures, and for doing everything we can to keep our children safe.” The district has received some complaints from parents and community members about new safety protocols, such as closing the back gates. At Skyline, for example, staff, parents and community members have gone from having a number of entry points to the school to just one — including the school field, which is open to sports organizations. Although more access may have been more convenient for the adults, Lynch said student safety is the district’s top priority. “What we have to do is make sure that we limit access to our campuses so that there are a couple places we can monitor and see who’s coming on, rather than numerous access points,” she said. “Our focus needs to be on keeping our kids safe. That means that we all need to adjust.” Despite some complaints, the community, for the most part, has been overwhelmingly supportive about the district’s beefedup security measures, she noted. “I think our community really understands what we are trying to do,” Lynch said.

ment office building. It really can be the heart of the community.” The team said they had plans to work closely with the community — something that stood out to Mosier. He also appreciated their work with other small communities. “I was impressed that Miller Hull really seemed to understand village character and building a building based on what’s in the village, what’s in the community,” Mosier said. And although Councilman Dwight Worden didn’t work with the committee, he was impressed with the firm simply by reading its proposal and hearing its presentation. “You are as good or better than I thought, as a practical matter, we were likely to get,” Worden said. “I am excited. I am ready to rock ’n’ roll on it.” Council members also thanked committee members for their time and effort in selecting the team. Council liaisons and city staff were so impressed by the committee that the council briefly discussed whether to work with them in the future. Nothing was confirmed, however. “If they’re willing to do it, I’d encourage that group to be an initial sounding board because they are kind of a microcosm of Del Mar,” said Councilman Terry Sinnott. “They would be a good test bed for any ideas you have.” In March, the council agreed to pursue city staff’s recommendation, while allowing flexibility for the architect, to build a city hall complex that would include an approximately 9,250-square-foot administrative building, 3,200-square-foot council chambers, televi-
sion studio and emergency operations center, and a 15,000-square-foot plaza. The project, which would cost $12.4 million to $16.4 million, would also feature 160 parking spaces and flexible space for future expansion. With the council’s authorization, the city manager will now negotiate and enter into an agreement with The Miller Hull Partnership for the project’s concept design, programming, schematic design, entitlement and design development tasks for an amount not to exceed $550,000, which would include contingencies. The firm’s work is expected to be finished no later than January 2016. “This is a very exciting milestone because we are at a transition into the design phase and are ready to move forward,” said Kathleen Garcia, the city’s planning and community development director. In related business, the council also unanimously authorized the city manager to request that the city’s consulting firm RECON Environmental Inc. prepare an Environmental Impact Report for the city hall project. The city received proposals from all six of its consultant firms under contract for work associated with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) compliance. Fee estimates ranged from about $168,000 to $268,000 to complete the environmental analysis work. After reviewing the proposals, city staff recommended RECON prepare the report. The firm expects to finish its work by November, which bumps up the council’s adopted schedule by about two months, Garcia said. The project is not to exceed $250,000, including contingencies.

Casas de Luz marks 10-year anniversary with 10-home building project in Tijuana • To raise funds for construction, SB nonprofit is holding party April 18 at Unitarian Universalist Fellowship church

Local retiree carves new career as woodworking artist BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although Tim Richards retired almost nine years ago, he has no trouble filling his free time. The Encinitas resident has become a well-recognized, awardwinning woodworking artist, recently unveiling his latest public art piece at the Torrey Pines State Reserve in Del Mar. “I think it turned out really well,” Richards said about the once-dead Torrey pine that is now a lively piece of art. “I enjoyed the whole creative process.” Originally from Michigan, Tim Richards. Richards previously worked in Photo by Kristina sales and management at Frazee Houck Paint, most recently at the Encinitas store. After more than 22 years with the company, he retired in the summer of 2006. Upon retirement, Richards decided he would try his hand at woodcarving, so his son gave him a professional chisel set. He had always wanted to create his own duck decoy, having collected them since the 1980s. “That got me started, and I carved a couple of those,” recalled Richards, who has lived in Encinitas since 1985 and San Diego County since 1976. With a natural talent, Richards sold a few of his duck decoys to a gallery in Utah, where he lives part time. Carvings of duck decoys led to carvings of other wildlife figures, including birds and fish. It wasn’t until 2011, however, that Richards’ work attracted the community’s attention. That was when the woodworking artist transformed the stump of a beetle-damaged Torrey pine into a tiki head statue at one of the world’s most famous surf spots. The 80-year-old Torrey pine became a 12-foot-tall replica of an Easter Island head — now a local landmark at Swami’s Beach in Encinitas. “That was quite an experience,” Richards said. “It was the first time I ever used a chainsaw to carve.” Since creating his first public art piece, Richards has See WOODWORKING, page B23
BY KRISTINA HOUCK In celebration of the 10year anniversary of Casas de Luz, the Solana Beach organization is building 10 homes for families in need in Tijuana. To raise funds for the home builds, the nonprofit is holding an anniversary party April 18 at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Dieguito in Solana Beach. “Over the past 10 years, Casas de Luz has had a major presence in Tijuana assisting in donation distribution, home builds and community development,” said Thea Hanson, head intern and youth coordinator for Casas de Luz. “We have transformed from a one-woman operation tagging along with other organizations to a sustainable nonprofit involved in several communities around Tijuana.” Solana Beach resident Kathy Faller founded Casas de Luz in 2005. Faller was inspired to create Casas de Luz after she participated in a home build with another nonprofit. Based out of the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Dieguito, Casas de Luz, a nonprofit social action project, built its first home in 2005. Since then, the organization has constructed more than 30 homes and will be building its 40th this year, Hanson said. “After 10 years, it is just cool to see all the change that has happened in Tijuana,” Hanson said. “Kathy always talks about how different things were 10 years ago and all of the development that’s taken place. It’s been incredible. Each time I go to Tijuana, it looks different.” Headed by Faller, who serves as founder and executive director, Casas de Luz is run entirely by volunteers. A six-member board of directors and local high school interns support it. As a former member of

BY DIANA SAENGER Zany entertainment awaits those who go to see the award-winning comedy “Unnecessary Farce” by Paul Slade Smith on stage at North Coast Repertory Theatre April 15 through May 10. With more than 155 productions to date, the show has received glowing reviews — “dazzlingly funny,” “unrelentingly funny plot” and “funniest two hours of theater I have seen in several years.” Director Matthew Wiener said the run at NCRT would mark its San Christopher Williams (back), Jacque Wilke and Jessica John (center), and David McBean (front) in Paul Slade Diego premiere. Playscript.com summa- Smith’s ‘Unnecessary Farce’ at the North Coast Repertory rizes the plot this way: In a Theatre through May 10. Photo by Aaron Rumley cheap motel room, an embezzling mayor is supposed to meet with his female accountant, while in the room next door, two undercover cops wait to catch the meeting on videotape. But there’s some confusion as to who’s in which room, who’s being videotaped, who’s taken the money, who’s hired a hit man, and why the accountant keeps taking off her clothes. “Since I have directed several NCRT comic farces, like ‘Lend Me A Tenor’ and ‘Perfect Wedding,’ artistic director David Ellenstein asked if I would direct ‘Unnecessary Farce,’” Wiener said. “I love working on this kind of material. These plays are so fun, and I love making audiences laugh. This play has wonderful performers, some I’ve worked with before, which is really grand.” The cast includes: Ted Barton (Mayor Meekly), Dagmar Krause Fields (Mary Meekly), Jessica John (Karen Brown), David McBean (Todd), John Nutten (Agent Frank), Jacque Wilke (Officer Billie Dwyer) and Christopher M. Williams (Officer Eric Sheridan). “Good farce, well done, is demanding and requires a lot from its actors throughout the entire production,” Wiener said. “It requires plenty of musicality to get all the rhythms right. The amount of repetition necessary to get the timing locked down, and the precision required of the actors, can be draining. Actors have to rehearse very hard, and there’s no room for alteration. You’ll see some of the best actors in San Diego in this show. “In our world today, being able to spend a few hours laughing and having a good time is very important. Farce has roots in both the French and English stage, and the plots are full of variations, like mistaken identities or who’s in bed with whom. But when it’s done well, audiences of all ages walk out feeling great.” “Unnecessary Farce” runs April 15-May 10 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

Vereen’s mission: exposing youngsters to the arts, because ‘life itself is an art form’ • Actor/dancer to entertain NC Rep supporters April 26 at Spotlight Gala, after awards show at Balboa Theater BY LESLIE CARTER Ben Vereen, the legendary actor and song and dance man, will entertain supporters of the North Coast Repertory Theater during the Spotlight Gala 2015 on April 26. He will come to the gala immediately after being the impresario of the second Ben Vereen Awards at the Balboa Theater. The awards, in partnership with Broadway San Diego, and with support from San Diego Credit Union, elect the top two musical theater stars from local high schools, awards them $10,000 each and sends them on to compete in New York City for a chance on Broadway. This year the scope of the competition will be enlarged, to expose more local high school students to the arts. Vereen’s career, which began in the late ’60s, shot skyward during his run in the Broadway musical “Pippin,” which brought him a Tony Award as Best Actor in a Musical and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Performance in 1973. He also had a key role in the award-winning movie “All That Jazz.” He stormed onto television as Chicken George in “Roots” in the ’70s, and has been active ever since. His last listed TV appearance on IMDB.com is an episode of TV Land’s “Hot in Cleveland” comedy series, alongside nonagenarian actress Betty White.

Q: When you got to the High School of the Performing Arts in New York, were you already a singer or a dancer? A. I liked singing. I liked dancing. I loved doing it. I was immersed in it. I wasn’t looking at is as a career, I just loved the fact
of doing it. I wasn’t thinking about Broadway. I wasn’t thinking of the movies. It was about enjoying the moment at the time as a child. It was loving the performing. Q. Do you remember some of the experiences that you had there that gave you a clearer idea of what direction you would take? A. I was a modern dance major. They taught me the classics — in modern dance, ballet, and character. And Dr. Woods (David Woods, a protégé of Martha Graham) taught us acting, because every dance has a story that you dance to. Q. Did you have a mentor during your early career? A. Many. James Earl Jones, Sammy Davis, Jr., Marlon Brando, Bob Fosse, Tom O’Horgan, Shirley MacLaine, Liza Minnelli … Q. These are people that you have worked with. Were you mentoring and learning from each other? A. That’s exactly what happens. Q. Does your career have a most significant event? A. Well, I know that people like to reference things, and probably some would say Chicken George in “Roots,” Leading Player in “Pippin” or Judas in “Jesus Christ Superstar,” but … now I like to stay in the present. I’m present here now in San Diego working with the Ben Vereen Awards. Q. Tell me about the importance of the Ben Vereen Awards to you. A. I have started an initiative for kids in the inner-city schools called “Wellness Through the Arts” and it is part of the BVA
Ben Vereen has started an initiative for kids in inner-city schools called “Wellness Through the Arts.” Courtesy photo because my philosophy is that art is a form of life. The self is an art form and what has been done was to separate ourselves from our art. And I want to bring it closer together. I’m finding kids troubled with diabetes, obesity, bullying and low-self-esteem. They have a story. I get them to tell their story by writing a two-page essay or a two-minute video. Q. What will happen with these essays and videos? A. We will pick five of those essays this year. Five of them will win $500 apiece toward their schooling. Thirtyfive kids have submitted the first year. We have given them a title: “My Best Day (how I overcame).” We have a wonderful video by a young girl about obesity that will bring a tear
to your eye. The winners will come to the Ben Vereen Awards. They’ll rub elbows with kids that are in the arts, who will be performing and who want to go on. And you never know, one of those kids could be like me — ot knowing what the performing arts could do for my life. (Somebody said “You, kid from the streets”) and it changed my entire life. Some of the kids we will reach won’t know anything about the arts, but through their stories they’ll express their inner conversations. You get kids talking about bullying; having real conversations about dealing with diabetes. You get them talking about obesity, and it’s not an ogre any longer. It’s not the ... elephant in the room because they are talking about it. So our job as facilitators, as way-showers, is to give back, and this is the way to give back. And I’m glad that Broadway San Diego is allowing me to do that. Q. Will this be a continuing program? A. I spoke to your may-

Kickstarter party April 18 for streaming video service focusing on art and artists BY KRISTINA HOUCK From behind-the-scenes looks to sit-down interviews, arts enthusiasts will soon be able to have unlimited access to premium arts television. The Artist Odyssey, a new subscriptionbased streaming arts-related video service, starts this fall. To raise funds for the project, The Artist Odyssey launches its Kickstarter campaign with a party April 18 at 3RDSPACE in San Diego. Four local artists will create and perform live at the event. “I love what I do and I’m looking forward to sharing these conversations with others,” said founder Chris Fessenden, a Del Mar resident for more than 20 years. “Hopefully, we can share the magic that we’re feeling.” The Artist Odyssey is a global arts network focused on sharing artist stories and supporting school arts programs. Artist documentaries put the audience in the gallery or studio with leading photographers, filmmakers, musicians, visual artists and performing artists. As a child, Fessenden was surrounded by the arts. His mother studied music and was a teacher for 26 years. She always brought music into her classroom. His father studied drama and was a fighter pilot in the U.S. Navy. He performed in musicals in the evenings and on the weekends. In addition, his family had friends who played in local bands. He also became friends with a number of people who grew up to be professional artists. Although Fessenden went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in political science at UC San Diego, arts and creativity have always remained a part of his life. Before establishing The Artist Odyssey, Fessenden started and ran a small video production in the mid-1990s. He then spent 12 years in the finance industry, researching technology, media and consumer companies. Fessenden and his team began working on The Artist Odyssey about two years ago, filming, reviewing and editing interviews and other footage. The team has since filmed 20 interviews, all of which are in post-production. As part of the public launch of the company, trailers for some of the interviews have been released. The company plans to release its subscription-based network in the fall. The fall launch of the network will feature a video archive at least 10 to 20 interviews. After the launch, a new interview will be released every week. “Hopefully, as we grow, we’ll have the ability to tell more stories while we maintain the quality,” Fessenden said. The Artist Odyssey will offer two types of interviews: Masters and Spotlight. Similar to James Lipton’s “Inside the Actors Studio,” Masters interviews feature artists who have been leading their niches for decades. A sit-down interview, from 90 minutes to two hours, is filmed in front of a studio audience. So far, such interviews have been filmed at UCSD in conjunction with the university’s ArtPower! series.
Cindy Wasserman and Frank Lee Drennen tape an interview for broadcast on The Artist Odyssey, a subscription-based streaming arts-related video service. Courtesy photo The artists are also captured in the gallery or studio. Testimonials with friends, family and peers are also included. Edited versions range from 45 minutes to an hour. “These will eventually live as a series, if an artist is willing to give of their time,” Fessenden said. “Our ultimate goal there is to provide a definitive career retrospective. This is evergreen content. We’re not trying to be current events or news.” Spotlight interviews offer a more flexible format, Fessenden explained. They feature shorter interviews with up-and-coming artists, usually just in the gallery, studio or field — wherever they create their work. Interviews could also take place at an event such as an art show or a film festival. They can be as short as two to three minutes or as long as an hour, covering their background, process and journey. See ARTISTS, page B23

Designers think outside the box with kids’ cardboard furniture line BY DIANE Y. WELCH To the chagrin of many parents, often the prosaic cardboard box that their child’s gift comes in holds more fascination than the item inside.
This desk was decorated to resemble an elephant. With this oddity in mind, Jake Disraeli and his partners, Jordan Kepler and Justin Farr — aka the Cardboard Guys — invented a desk and chair set for children made entirely from cardboard. Unlike other kit furniture, the “Kids Imagination Furniture” items are designed for children to be creative through handson designing and building. The set — made in the United States from 40 percent to 60 percent post-consumer recycled fiber — is 100 percent recyclable with the desk designed for DIY attachments
and a chair that is so robust it holds more than 500 pounds. Each kit arrives flat-packed and weighs only 11 pounds. It requires no adhesives, is child’s play to assemble and comes with art supplies. “We give the child everything they need to custom-design their own furniture,” said Disraeli. “We allow them to do something that they’ve never been encouraged to do before, and that’s to draw on the furniture!” The desk top is reversible. “The child can color on one side and then flip it over and color on the other side,” said Disraeli. The kit has an additional top so there is another blank surface to create another design, he added. Born and raised in the area, Disraeli attended Carmel Del Mar Elementary School and Carmel Valley Middle School, and graduated from Canyon Crest Academy High School in 2009. He attended Cal Poly San Luis Obispo, graduating in 2013 with a degree in business and entrepreneurship. Immediately after he graduated, Disraeli went on to be active in the entrepreneurship program. He was the innovation coordinator for a number of on-campus and offcampus programs to help recent graduates start their own companies. The Cardboard Guy’s business was initiated when Kepler and Farr — both industrial technology students — partnered on Disraeli’s senior project. “My partners had a very intimate relationship with cardboard and design and how things work together and how to produce it,” said Disraeli. The three also

ed recently by a successful Kickstarter campaign that raised more than $28,000. The furniture will be manufactured in Los Angeles, and will be sold on third-party ecommerce sites and eventually in traditional stores. The concept actually started as college furniture for students and adults, said Disraeli. “After doing lots of in-depth interviews before we got too far into the business, what we kept coming back to was a unanimous suggestion that this would be really great for kids.” While cardboard furniture is not a new concept — architect Frank Gehry is credited as the pioneer of cardboard furniture — the approach that the Cardboard Guys are using is innovative. “We are focusing on kids to foster their imagination. We learned that parents wanted to provide their kids an environment to color outside of the lines, to have a place for their kids’ creative freedom,” said Disraeli. “We can’t wait to see what they do with it.” Visit www.thecardboardguys.com.
worked with architecture and design professors, receiving critiques as the design was being developed. “The Cal Poly community has been really great for us in terms of support from alumni and professors. The network that is provided here — we are actually part of a program called the SLO HotHouse incubator, a program for recent graduates that provides funding and resources to start a business — was so supportive,” said Disraeli. Additional money to fund production was provid-

DM San Dieguito Lagoon Committee celebrates 41 years with April 19 event The Del Mar San Dieguito Lagoon Committee celebrates 41 years of continuous vigilance in restoring and preserving the San Dieguito Lagoon with a special event on April 19. The Lagoon Committee was established by the city of Del Mar in 1974 by a group of concerned citizens who recognized that the time to prevent the lagoon from being more developed would soon be upon them. Their efforts and those that followed have helped in restoring the remaining wetlands to the healthy state seen today. As mitigation for the damage caused by the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station, Southern California Edison and their partners, directed by the Coastal Commission, began the journey to bring the lagoon back to a functioning estuary. Many birds, marine specimens and native plants have returned. But it is still a work in progress. Lagoon Day activities will begin with a 10 a.m. interpretive hike of the lagoon on the Boardwalk Trail (east side of Jimmy Durante Boulevard, across from the fire station). Activities will resume at 5 p.m. at the Powerhouse, with an opportunity to learn about the recreational, educational and volunteer opportunities available at the lagoon and river park from the organizations that support these natural resources. It will also be an opportunity to learn about the lagoon’s history and the ongoing efforts to increase the public’s enjoyment, including an update on the new River Path Trail Extension. At 6 p.m., a formal presentation begins with recognition of those instrumental in restoring the lagoon, followed by featured speaker Jacqueline Winterer, presenting historical sites along the lagoon’s left bank. Light refreshments will be served. There is no charge for the event. The Del Mar Powerhouse is at 1658 Coast Blvd. in Del Mar. All are welcome to help celebrate Lagoon Day 2015!

Erickson is visiting from Washington, N.J., where she now lives.

She has created characters for friends and family for years, but the charming watercolors in “Three Tales, Four Dogs” represent her first venture into children’s book illustration. “Sue Ann does a fantastic job of illustrating the interactions between people and their canine pals in her happy, colorful paintings. She captures the quirky, appealing characters in these stories perfectly,” says Linnea Dayton, head of Solana Beach’s Dayton Publishing, which is hosting the April 18 event at the Gallery’s location, 1555 Camino Del Mar, Suite 314, Del Mar, on the top (Plaza) level of the Del Mar Plaza (look for the balloons!).

Latin-American superstar Lila Downs comes to Symphony Hall BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT The latest (and hottest!) performer in San Diego Symphony’s International Passport Series, which has included Chinese acrobats, Argentine tango dancers, Russian ballet and the Vienna Boys Choir, is superstar singer/songwriter Lila Downs, soaring into Symphony Hall on April 17 with her back-up band, La Misteriosa. She may not be a household word here, but this daughter of a Mixtec Indian singer and a Minnesota art professor has made a name for herself in World Music with her soulful renditions of Latin-American songs. Born in the Mexican state of Oaxaca, and partly raised in Minnesota and California, she has won Latin and American Grammys, and has been featured at international jazz festivals, the Latino Inaugural Ball for President Obama, the opening ceremonies for the 2011 Pan American Games and the 2012 Latin Grammys on Univision. She had a small but notable part as the Tango Singer in Julie Taymor’s 2012 film “Frida,” and sang one of the songs from that score at the 75th Academy Awards show. And maybe we should mention that her look is as gorgeous as her sound? Lila Downs’ unique style is a rich mix of the traditional
music of Mexico with touches of jazz, blues, country, hip-hop and flamenco. She considers herself a social activist, singing out on behalf of indigenous people, compassionate human connections and the environment. She has previously performed at 4th & B, House of Blues and Humphreys, but this will be her first appearance at Symphony Hall, and the first part of a U.S./Canadian tour to promote the release of her latest album, “Balas y Chocolate”
“Balas y Chocolate” (“Bullets and Chocolate”) is the new RCA album by Lila Downs. Courtesy photo
(“Bullets and Chocolate”), which addresses some of the problems in Mexico and the rest of the world. “I think songwriters have the unique capacity to give a voice to the voiceless, and stir emotions in people who might otherwise want to turn away,” Downs said. “Music really penetrates the body and soul, and I love touring, because the band and I get a chance to interact with our audiences face to face.” Another thing she loves about touring is that it’s a family affair, including her husband and musical director Paul Cohen, who also plays saxophone in the band, and their 4-year-old son, Benito. If you’ve never heard Lila Downs before, now would be a great time to do so. You can expect passionate protest songs, upbeat folk tunes, lush ballads. It doesn’t really matter whether you understand the language. Your body and soul will feel what she’s singing about. San Diego Symphony International Passport Series: Lila Downs, performing with her band, La Misteriosa (San Diego Symphony will not perform); 8 p.m. April 17, Symphony Hall, 750 B St., San Diego.

SPONSORED COLUMNS MICHAEL PINES Accident & Injury Legal Advice 858.551.2090
Fired Up: La Jolla Residents React to Unsafe Roadway Hazards It’s no surprise that so many people visit the city of La Jolla. As the crown jewel of San Diego, thousands of tourists visit our city each year thanks in part to our white sand beaches, distinctive shops and restaurants and festivals held year-round. Along with perpetual sun and glistening waters, it’s no wonder that so many people choose to vacation in our lovely city each year. The truth is that the veneer of La Jolla is a beautiful one; but scratch beneath the surface and what’s revealed may surprise more than just the locals. In a wave of recent complaints, La Jolla residents have gotten fired up about their city. Potholes, overgrown shrubbery, uneven
sidewalks and red light running have gotten locals talking – if not concerned for their own well-being. More than just conversation, these are real issues the city must deal with – and hopefully address – in order to make La Jolla a safer, cleaner and more enjoyable place. Check any of the local papers covering road repair or, dare I say, the La Jolla Cove, and it’s clear that the voices of La Jolla want to be heard. Do residents have a voice? Well, when it comes to traffic and pedestrian safety, the answer is yes. You can take action. WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT LA JOLLA ROADWAY COMPLAINTS? While we empathize with residents over the future of the La Jolla Cove, our main concern lies in the safety of our city’s roads and pedestrian walkways – especially as it relates to what residents have called unsafe conditions. Potholes, disintegrating roadways, uneven sidewalks and even red light running have run the gamut of complaints and each of these issues are concerning to us as car accident attorneys. The good news is that La Jolla residents
can get in touch with city administrators to voice their concerns to prompt change. The bad news is that if voices are not heard, generally no change is implemented. If you’re a resident of La Jolla with knowledge of an unsafe roadway or pedestrian condition, here’s what you can do to bring the issue to light. POTHOLES AND BAD SIDEWALKS To report a pothole or bad sidewalk, call 619-527-7500 to notify San Diego street division for road and sidewalk repair division (the city of La Jolla does not have its own road repair division). The same division can be contacted for open waste found in roadways or on sidewalks, leaky fire hydrants or overgrown shrubbery. It’s important to call and report the hazard as soon as possible to avoid a potential car accident or pedestrian threat such as a slip and fall or head injury due to uneven concrete paving. FALLEN TREES OR PUBLIC LANDSCAPE IN NEED OF CARE One resident wrote in to the La Jolla Light noting that a tree had fallen down after it had been excessively pruned by city employees. Although we certainly
sympathize for the lost tree that had been decades old, the cause of our concern mainly lies in the potential danger of the tree falling on cars, people or houses. If you note a tree in need of trimming, call the city at 619-527-7500 or send an email to street_service@sandiego.gov to notify city officials before the tree falls down and injures someone. For trees and landscaping located in La Jolla public parks, call 858-5819716 to voice your concerns. RED LIGHT RUNNING If you notice that a certain intersection is especially prone to red light running, call the San Diego Police Department. Check your local SDPD neighborhood division for contact information. EMERGENCIES In ALL cases, if you note an emergency of any kind, call 9-11. Michael Pines is a safety advocate located in San Diego, California with over 20 years of legal expertise in personal and car accident injury. He is the lead attorney at the Law Offices of Michael Pines, APC and can be found by logging on to http://SeriousAccidents.com or by calling 858-551-2090.

Solving culinary crises: tough pie crusts, too-soft tomatoes, brown avocados The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Inquiring readers want to know everything from putting the skids to pasty pasta to going on a quest for a lactosefree cheese. Your queries are now being answered. Q: Is buffalo mozzarella lactose-free? A: Mozzarella di Bufala Campana, traditional cheese made from the milk of the water buffalo near Naples (called buffalo mozzarella in these parts) is a soft, delicate treat that dials up the flavor of salads, pastas, sandwiches and flatbreads. Most cheeses (particularly aged ones) have only trace levels of lactose, since this milk sugar is drained off in the liquid whey during the cheesemaking process. Fresh cheeses like buffalo mozzarella contain more lactose than aged ones, because
part of the lactose remains in the curd. But the levels are still low (1.1 gram of lactose/100 grams of cheese). This amount can easily be tolerated by those with lactose sensitivities. Also, the lactose in buffalo milk tends to be lower than that in cow’s milk. Q: What does it mean to “shock” vegetables? A: So that cooked vegetables (usually green ones) stay crisp, crunchy and brightly colored after they are cooked, they are first blanched in a pot of boiling salted water, then soaked in an ice bath until cooled. This shocks or halts the cooking process, so the veggies are done to perfection. Q: How can I fine-tune my baking skills so that my pie crusts are flaky, not chewy like pizza crusts? A: Go slow and steady when mixing your batters and doughs. Mixing flour too aggressively will activate the gluten protein, causing a firm and elastic texture to your baked goods. So don’t be heavy-handed, whether using an electric mixer or food processor. Keep the speed on low, and don’t overblend. Q: I store my tomatoes in the fridge, but they become soft and mushy within a day or two. How can this be prevented? A: Tomatoes are fragile fruits with delicate cells that get easily damaged by cold temperatures that also break down the flavor-producing enzyme, making them soft, mealy and insipid. This is a simple fix. Store tomatoes on a platter, single file, on the kitchen counter away from direct sunlight for up to three days. If not used within this time, you must refrigerate. Q: How do I prevent my pasta from turning into a sticky ball of mush? A: After draining the pasta, toss it with a drizzle of sauce or olive oil to prevent clumping. If you won’t be eating for a while, rinse in cold water to remove any excess starch, and later reheat the pasta in the sauce. Q: How can you prevent cut avocadoes from turning brown? A: This super fruit has a store of healthy fats, minerals and vitamins from the stress-busting B’s, immune-boosting C’s and skin-healthy A’s and E’s to body-balancing potassium, magnesium, copper and iron. But one flaw: They turn
HOME OF HOME OFTHE THEWEEK WEEK

and always leave the pit intact. Q: I bought a watermelon that refused to ripen, even after two weeks in a large paper bag. Any suggestions? A: Certain fruits and vegetables continue to ripen after picking, while others should be ripe at the time of picking. No prodding, pampering, massaging or cajoling will further ripen them. When buying the latter, especially watermelons, citrus, cherries, peppers and grapes, make sure they are ripe before placing them in your grocery cart. To test for watermelon ripeness, tap on it. If it has a nice, deep resonance, then it’s ripe. Also look for a creamy yellow belly. Try this riff on Caprese salad with the creamy, dreamy low-lactose buffalo mozzarella. It’s so scrumptious, you’ll have a cow.
CAPRESE WITH A TWIST
Caprese salad is made with creamy, dreamy lowlactose buffalo mozzarella. brown when cut flesh is exposed to the air, thanks to an enzyme called polyphenol oxidase. While culinary wizards have suggested solutions, nothing is foolproof, so eat the avocado soon after cutting. Otherwise, try these tips: Squirt with some lemon or lime juice, cover tightly with plastic wrap or place in an airtight container with a half-cut onion —
Ingredients 2 cups balsamic vinegar 3 firm, but ripe, nectarines, sliced like a tomato 1/2 pound buffalo mozzarella, sliced in rounds 1/4 cup virgin olive oil Handful of fresh tarragon leaves Sea salt and fresh cracked black pepper Method: In a small saucepan, boil vinegar on medium heat until it thickens and reduces down (about 10 minutes). Set aside. On a serving platter, alternate layers of cheese and nectarines. Tuck tarragon leaves under each slice, and sprinkle on top. Drizzle olive oil and balsamic reduction on top, and finish with salt and pepper. — For culinary tips, e-mail kithcenshrink@san.rr.com or check out www.FreeRangeClub.com.

or and he’s excited about the Ben Vereen Initiative, “Wellness Through the Arts.” So every chance I get I will speak at schools. Broadway San Diego is making it possible to reach out to the schools. And also the San Diego Credit Union is backing it. It’s wonderful, isn’t it, that these corporations are coming aboard and saying, “Yes, It’s about our children, about making a better world and giving them the tools to do it.” I looked out over the playing field and I saw that kids are left out because arts have been cut out of a lot of schools, which is foolish to me because without the arts you have no culture. Our culture is our civilization. So why would you cut away the culture by cutting away the arts? From the beginning of time man has always expressed himself through art forms and left those messages here for us to learn of their being here. The program will give me a chance to speak to high school kids about their possibilities
ARTISTS
if they speak to their heart’s passion. It could be singing, dancing, acting, medicine, engineering, and on and on and on … it’s all an art form. The “Wellness Through the Arts,” essays and videos can be taken around to the schools. And we could put more thoughts into plays or a 10-minute musical and film it and show it around the other schools and so they can begin to have conversations. And if you come through the performing arts, you have an opportunity to express it better. Q. You came to North Coast Repertory Theatre to teach a Master Class to students in the Theatre School last January. What did you think of the kids you met there? A. I liked working with them. I think they were very courageous to take the Master Class with me, and they seemed hungry to learn, and to lay themselves open. Q. Any last words for us? A. Please support the arts. For the arts is who they are, because life itself is an art form, and the art for which they are seeking is seeking them. For information contact www.benvereenawards.com.

“There has to be an interesting story, and they have to be doing interesting work,” Fessenden said. To date, some of the artists Fessenden and his team have interviewed are Grammy Award-winning record producer Chris Goldsmith, filmmaker Neil Kendricks, muralist Mario Torero and visual artist Emily Halpern. “I’ve enjoyed hearing the artists’ stories,” Fessenden said. “It’s a lot of work, a lot of hours, but with every interview we’ve done — there’s been a moment where the hair stood up on the back of my neck.” In addition to documenting artist stories, part of The Artist Odyssey’s mission is to support arts education — something that was inspired by Fessenden’s love of the arts and his mother’s teaching career. “Being surrounded by the arts, at the intersection of the arts and education, I saw the impact that arts education can have,” he said. At the end of every sit-down interview, there will be a 30-second to three-minute lesson. The quick lessons are designed to supplement arts curriculum. Rather than offer how-to videos, these clips will teach viewers unique tips and tricks. “It’s designed to really provide the insights and inspirations from professional artists — how they think about things,” Fessenden said, adding that such a lesson could be an author’s tip on how to move past writer’s

block. The Artist Odyssey’s long-term goal is to provide the curriculum for free. In the initial phases, each subscriber will be able to pick a classroom to receive the arts curriculum for free on behalf of the subscriber. In celebration of The Artist Odyssey and to promote the network’s Kickstarter campaign, a launch party will be held at 3RDSPACE, a co-working space and club for the creative, at 4610 Park Blvd. in San Diego. During the event, singer-songwriters Nena Anderson and Roy Ruiz Clayton will perform. Clayton will also show some of his paintings. In addition, artist Mimi Wada will demonstrate large-scale Shodo, or Japanese calligraphy, using a giant brush to create a message with Sumi-e ink as she dances across a large scroll. Finally, mixed-media artist Trinh Mai will incorporate family heirlooms and found objects to create collages. The event will take place from 7-10 p.m. RSVP for free admission. Admission is $5 at the door if space is available. “We’re excited to share these stories of inspiration from the artists,” Fessenden said. “We hope that it grows to have an important voice in the arts community and in arts education.” To RSVP for the event, visit theartistodyssey.eventbrite.com.

been called upon for other projects for private residences and public spaces. To date, he has created close to 40 outdoor carvings, including many tikis — one of his most popular requests. Homeowners from all over Southern California have requested carvings. In addition to the Del Mar piece, he recently completed a tiki at a private residence in San Marcos. “I get to travel around a lot of places and see a lot of neighborhoods I’ve never been to before,” said Richards, who has received requests from people as far away as Long Beach. After his 2011 carving at Swami’s, Richards carved a 13-foot-long lizard in 2012 at Capri Elementary School in Encinitas. The following year, he carved a foot-long Southern California steelhead trout for the Elfin Forest Interpretive Center in Escondido. Richards spends about 20 hours each week on carvings. He has also held two solo shows at the library and community center in Encinitas. In addition, he enters annual award shows. Among his several awards, last year, Richards was named California Open Wildlife Art Festival’s “Decorative Carver of the Year.” In January, Del Mar resident David Arnold contacted Richards about carving a Torrey pine on the south end of Torrey Pines
State Reserve. The city was cutting down the tree because beetles had damaged it. Arnold asked the crew to stop working for an hour, giving him time to make a few phone calls. He contacted city staff and received support to turn the stump into art. “It was astounding to see that they had it cut way down,” said Arnold, adding that weddings, parties and other events have been held under the tree, which has been rooted on a patch of land with an ocean view for decades. “I felt that the tree and its history needed to be saved.” Arnold, a retired graphic designer and illustrator, designed a bench with an attached red-tailed hawk for the stump. After receiving approval from the city, Richards went to work on Feb. 17. He completed the piece March 6. “It’s a great location with an ocean view,” Richards said. “A lot of people go through the park, both locals and tourists.” With his latest public art piece now complete, Richards already has several other private projects lined up. He’s also been in contact with the city of Solana Beach to possibly transform another beetle-damaged Torrey pine on the Coastal Rail Trail.
