SD City Council delays One Paseo decision; developer compromise may be brewing BY KAREN BILLING The San Diego City Council voted 7-2 to delay its decision on the One Paseo project on May 18, scheduling the referendumforced second hearing for three days later at 1 p.m. May 21. Last month the referendum petition to overturn the San Diego City Council’s decision on One Paseo gathered more than the necessary 33,224 signatures to force the San Diego City Council to either take back its approval of the 1.45-million-square-foot mixed-use Carmel Valley project or put it on a ballot. Councilmember David Alvarez made the May 21 motion to continue the item, because he said he heard there is a potential for compromise between the developer Kilroy and Donahue Schriber, the owners of the neighboring Del Mar Highlands Town Center that helped fund the referendum petition that prompted a rehearing by the council. Alvarez said that he has heard the compromise on the One Paseo project could include a reduction of half the average daily trips (ADTs) proposed, down to 14,000 trips, which would greatly reduce the traffic impact on the community. Neither Kilroy’s attor-

ney Jeff Chine nor Donahue Schriber’s attorney John Ponder could confirm what the compromise would be, or the scope of the negotiations, because of pending litigation and a confidentiality agreement. No matter what agreement may be reached before May 21, the City Council’s only actions to be taken that day would be to rescind its approval of the proposed project or submit the matter to a citywide vote. A project that is “substantially similar” to the proposed One Paseo cannot be considered by City Council for a 12-month period. Whether the compromise reflects a project that is substantially different enough has yet to be seen. Council President Sherri Lightner and Councilmember Marti Emerald both voted against continuing the item. “My concern is hearing fatigue,” Lightner said. “If two hours of testimony is not enough pressure to get this resolved, I don’t think another two days is going to get it resolved. I think it’s unfair to the public to do this at the last moment.” Lightner said she hopes her colleagues will rescind the decision at Thursday’s

SB OKs stricter rules for RV street parking BY KRISTINA HOUCK Solana Beach will have stricter regulations for parking recreational vehicles on city streets, after a 3-1 vote by the City Council on May 13. In response to complaints regarding RVs parked on public property, the council approved a modified ordinance to further restrict parking. Council members first addressed the issue March 11, directing city staff to revise the city’s ordinance. At the April 8 meeting, however, council members deemed the changes too restrictive and sent back the new rules for further revisions. City code allows campers and motor homes to be parked on public streets and in public parking lots for up to 24 consecutive

hours. Boats, boat trailers and camp trailers are limited to two hours. After reviewing and revising a draft ordinance, the council ultimately approved an ordinance that strengthens regulations so that recreational vehicles without a cityissued permit would be limited to no more than eight hours of parking on any public street or public right-of-way in a 24-hour period. According to the draft ordinance, residents may apply for a free recreational vehicle permit for a maximum of five days a month for their own RV or a guest’s RV. RVs must be parked within 300 feet of the resident’s property on the same street that abuts the front property line. In addition, RVs must not be parked in

City Council to create citizens advisory committee for Del Mar’s design review process BY KRISTINA HOUCK Acknowledging the community’s concerns about the city’s design review process, the Del Mar City Council on May 18 further opened the process to the public. In a 3-0 vote, council

members established a citizens advisory committee to provide input on Del Mar’s design review process. The process is intended to preserve and protect the community character. “Once you understand a problem and you under-

stand what’s contributing to the problem, you can move toward solutions and recommendations,” said Councilman Terry Sinnott. Before the vote, 15 community members addressed the council, all in favor of the proposed commit-

tee. Several others submitted slips in favor, but chose not to speak. The council also received three letters on the issue before the meeting. “There is enormous community interest and community support for this,” said resident Anne

Farrell, who sat on the city’s design review board for four years about 20 years ago. “I know these ordinances well. I lived and breathed them in that job,” she said. “But I do believe it’s time for us to take a look again.” See COMMITTEE, page 29

Dave Roberts hires political crisis expert

SB hires new city manager to start June 22

BY JOSHUA STEWART, SPECIAL TO THE CV NEWS, DM TIMES, SB SUN County Supervisor Dave Roberts has hired a crisis communication specialist to help his political career weather accusations from former staff members. Roberts has brought on board political consultant Gary Gartner, a personal friend and strategist for his supervisorial campaign. “I was Dave Roberts’ campaign consultant who successfully helped get him elected in 2012,” Gartner said in a statement. “We have remained good friends and I have served as a trusted advisor since the election. I offered to help Dave respond to the increased media inquiries to be able to set the record straight and respond to the false allegations that have been made against him.” Among the claims by two former aides: Roberts misused public funds, had an inappropriate relationship with one of his staff members and created a hostile workplace. In his LinkedIn profile, Gartner describes himself as a “leading strategist in California with extensive state and national experiences as a legislative and public affairs specialist skilled in strategic and crisis communication.” Finance records from Roberts’ 2012 campaign show Gartner earned at least $22,500 as a consultant. Gartner said he and Roberts spoke at a state Democratic party function earlier this month and he started working with the first-term supervisor last week. He’s being paid by Roberts’ campaign. “I just couldn’t sit by and allow people

BY KRISTINA HOUCK With a 4-0 vote May 13, Greg Wade was officially hired at Solana Beach’s next city manager. Although absent from the council meeting, Mayor Lesa Heebner welcomed Wade in a statement read by Deputy Mayor David Zito. “I look forward to working with him to continue to serve and enhance our beautiful community,” Heebner said in the statement. “I am confident he has the experience, qualifications, management style and personality to make this a seamless transition.” After the vote, Wade thanked the council for “this excellent and wonderful opportunity.” “It’s been a pleasure to go through the process and get to know you,” he said. He also thanked interim City Manager David Ott “for leading the city to this point.” With more than two decades of local government experience, Wade serves as assistant city manager and community development director of the city of Imperial Beach, where Ott also worked before he came to Solana Beach. Wade will receive a base salary of $198,000 a year, plus a $5,400 annual car allowance. His retirement benefit is 2 percent at age 60, which is less than he receives in his position in Imperial Beach. Therefore, Solana Beach will make an annual contribution of $10,000, in equal amounts each pay period, into a qualified, city-approved deferred compensation plan of his choice. Wade’s three-year contract begins June 22 and ends June 21, 2018, unless extended by mutual agreement. A San Diego resident for more than 30 years, Wade was unanimously selected as the city’s new city manager in a closed session meeting on April 29. He was chosen from a field of 80 applicants during the city’s second recruitment search to replace Ott, who came to Solana Beach in 2003 as fire chief and director of public safety. Ott was named deputy city manager in 2005 and city manager the following year. After more than a decade of service to Solana Beach, Ott announced his retirement last May. He retired as city manager in November, but returned on an interim basis the following month. Originally from Pasadena, Wade moved to San Diego in 1984 to attend UC San Diego. He graduated from the urban studies and planning program with a concentration in urban design and environmental studies and a minor in sociology. While at UCSD, he was a fouryear varsity member of the water polo team, which led to his stint as a lifeguard for the city of San Diego and the launch of his career in public service. Wade has more than 25 years of experience in community outreach and engagement, urban design and planning, policy planning and redevelopment. He has been with Imperial Beach since 2001, serving as assistant city manager for the past four years.

with their own personal and political agenda to attempt to destroy the career of one of the hardest-working elected leaders I have ever worked with,” Gartner said. The San Diego Democratic Party and San Diego Councilwoman Marti Emerald are past clients. Gartner spent four years as then-California Insurance Commissioner John Garamendi’s press secretary. Garamendi, who later became lieutenant governor, is now in the House of Representatives. Gartner also was the communications director and district representative for thenstate Sen. Jackie Speier, and then-Assemblyman Tom Torlakson. Speier is now also in the House and Torlakson is the state superintendent of public instruction. Gartner is teaming up with Roberts as the supervisor takes fire from former staff members. In a three-week period, four employees, all women, quit his office. His former chief of staff, Glynnis Vaughan, wrote in her resignation letter that Roberts created a hostile work environment, that his office was politicized, and the supervisor misused government resources. On May 14, his former scheduler, Diane Porter, filed a formal complaint with the county. She claimed that Roberts had his staff chase political endorsements on county time, that he maintained an improper relationship with his driver, and that he offered a staffer a raise and promotion in exchange for misleading a county human resources investigation into his office. Roberts collects a $1,000 monthly car allowance, but also hired Harold Meza, a See ROBERTS, page 30

DM moves to limit irrigation, cut beach showers as it grapples with restrictions BY KRISTINA HOUCK With the statewide drought in its fourth year, Del Mar is doing its part to reduce city water use. On April 1, Gov. Jerry Brown issued an executive order, calling for a statewide 25 percent cut in water use. The regulations take effect June 1. In response to the conservation order and a planned cut in deliveries by the Metropolitan Water District, the San Diego County Water Authority recently imposed tighter restrictions and set supply allocations to local agencies. That amounts to about a 1 percent cutback, explained Kristen Crane, assistant to the city manager, during the May 18 council meeting. Del Mar purchases all of its water from the Water Authority, which receives about half of its water supply from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. The Metropolitan Water District called for a 15 percent cutback in late April, based on its current water supply and projected demand. Under the allocation plan, Del Mar will receive 1,116 acre-feet per year, which is about how much water the city purchased in fiscal year 2013-14. The city’s total water use for 2013 was 1,070 acre-feet, which equates to 348 million gallons. Still, Del Mar must meet the governor’s mandate. With fewer than 3,000 connections to the water system, Del Mar is considered a “small urban water supplier,” and is therefore required to limit outdoor irrigation to two days per week or implement other measures to reduce total potable water use by 25 percent. With the council’s 3-0 vote, Del Mar has opted to implement the two-day-per-week irrigation restrictions, which the Water Authority has required of its member agencies. Mayor Al Corti and Councilman Don Mosier were absent from the meeting. “We have to do this,” Crane said. “We will be coming back with an emergency ordinance on June 1 in order to move that forward here in Del Mar. We’re figuring out the logistics of that, what the schedule will be. “At this point, even though it is not yet officially in effect, we encourage our residents to start using the two-dayper-week watering restrictions,” she added. “We’re doing

that now with city property.” In addition, Del Mar’s proposed drought-response plan includes other actions to maximize water efficiency at city facilities, landscaping and parks, as well as expand public outreach. “It’s critical that the city lead by example,” Crane said. Other long-term strategies under consideration include the installation of smart water meters, the expanded use of recycled water for landscaping, and the promotion of turf removal programs, among others. Some Del Mar residents wanted to do even more. Del Mar’s Parks & Recreation Committee suggested the city shut off the beach showers at all locations, except the Beach Safety Center. The Sustainability Advisory Committee, however, recommended the city maintain all beach showers, and instead increase public education, post additional signs and ensure that all the shower heads are water-efficient. According to staff estimates, the annual water use at all four beach shower locations is 495,360 gallons, which equates to a cost of about $2,800 per year and represents 0.1 percent of the city’s total water use. “I think, psychologically, we’ve got to send a message,” resident Bill Michalsky said during the meeting. “Turn them off. I think people will get it.” “Two-days-a-week landscaping is all well and good, but two-days-a-week landscaping is what everybody else is doing,” added Robin Crabtree. “I just feel that it’s a blatant abuse of our resource,” she said regarding the beach showers. “We could use it somewhere else. “It’s our chance to be a leader. It’s our chance to make a statement.” The council agreed and voted to turn off the beach showers at all locations except the Beach Safety Center until the drought is over. “I’m convinced that as a symbolic effort, we should shut them off,” said Councilman Dwight Worden. “It doesn’t feel right to tell people to tighten their belt and then see the showers — regardless of how much water is actually being used.”

DM Mesa Planning Board hears complaints about speeding, warnings of garage thefts BY SUZANNE EVANS From the May 14 meeting of the Del Mar Mesa Community Planning Board: • Speeding in Del Mar Mesa remains a major issue along Del Vino Court and The Preserve Way, and was discussed. A Mesa resident with small children said he worries when cars “blow through stop signs at intersections.” “It’s an ongoing problem,” noted San Diego Police Northwest Division Officer Tracey Williams, who said he is increasingly “out in the field.” He promised to bring a radar trailer to the mesa to indicate speeds. “We need the city to help us with alternative solutions; it’s a capital improvement,” said chair Gary Levitt. Steve Hadley, Councilwoman Sherri Lightner’s District 1 representative, advised requesting Lightner’s office for help to bring traffic engineers to the area. Levitt said the board will send a letter to the city. • Garage thefts: Police officer Williams cautioned about recent thefts from garages that are left open, even while residents are at home. • Alta Del Mar: Pardee has agreed to replace unsightly fences in three homes facing Del Mar Mesa’s main winding country road. Noting that the fences detract from the rural attractiveness of the mesa, the board has referred to Del Mar Mesa Specific Plan requirements for fencing that is not bulky or overbearing. • John Hartley, representing Neighborhoods for Clean Elections, spoke regarding the group’s campaign for public financing of elections. “Funds can’t come from special interests; we don’t feel any of our neighborhoods get a fair share of help from the city. Special interests have more clout than neighborhoods,” he complained. He emphasized that the group is “empowering neighborhoods, giving them a say with the city; that’s what we’re fighting for.” Visit www.sdcleanelections.org.

Local resident throws veterans a line with Take a Warrior Fishing program BY KAREN BILLING To let American military veterans know that someone has their six to help them transition back to civilian life, local resident Patrick Rost doesn’t do soirees, galas or events. He just raises the money, charters a boat and takes them fishing. His fifth annual Take a Warrior Fishing deep-sea fishing trip will set out on June 25 with 60 wounded veterans and their families on board from the Warrior Foundation-Freedom Station in San Diego. For Rost, it just took thinking a little bit differently about how he could help these veterans and said it’s not a big sacrifice for him to spend some hours on the ocean with them. “What’s happened to them is heartbreaking,” he said, referring to the “agony and hell” they go through and the emotional pain of facing life with a new set of challenges. He said a big part of what he’s doing is just giving them the feeling that people care, recognizing that society may not embrace and thank them the way that they could. “What would our lives be like without their individual sacrifice, without them signing up voluntarily?” Rost said. Sandy Lehmkuhler, president of Warrior Foundation-Freedom Station, is grateful for Rost’s yearly efforts. “Mr. Rost does more than take them fishing, he gives them a chance to just be 22-year-old men for a day, without having to think about their injuries or military responsibilities,” Lehmkuhler said. “In short, he gives them a day to just be guys and gals having a great day out on the ocean on a great boat. “Mr. Rost is very patriotic and passionate about our warriors; he lets them look at what they can do and not at what they cannot. He reminds them that they are our country’s finest and that they are still in the fight and still our warriors.” Rost is a lawyer who founded International Capital Advisors Group, a consultant for finance, business development and regulatory affairs. He came to California from South Dakota in 1980 to attend the University of San Diego on a tennis scholarship. “Growing up, I fished all the time in South Dakota. In the summer that’s what we’d do, just grab a pole and some worms,” Rost recalled. “My dad would always take us.” Rost loved all things aquatic, and when he moved to San Diego he started fishing off the pier in Ocean Beach, graduating to half-day tuna fishing trips. Eventually he became scuba-certified. One of Rost’s clients was retired Marine Corps Col. Jeffrey Powers, and together they founded Homeland Security Technology Inc. The company worked with a movie studio in Kearny Mesa, training new Marine recruits on urban warfare in a mock-Iraqi village, everything authentic except for the plastic bullets.

Patrick Rost: “We treat them no differently than anybody else. You don’t need two legs to fish.” Rost would watch from the catwalk above. “The experience gave me a different level of insight into the inner workings of how Marines trained,” he said. “These were 19-year-old kids, with just a gun and a knife, that’s it …being A veteran shows off a good catch on a previous Take a trained to fight to the death.” Warrior Fishing trip. Courtesy photos The company evolved into making gear for Marines and negotiating government contracts as well as security service work. As a result, he dealt with a lot of former Marines as well as young veterans. “I had a lot of experience meeting and talking to these guys and then watching the war unfold on TV,” Rost said. “After watching them just getting their feet wet, baptism by fire — See FISHING, page 20

Mount Soledad Memorial Day ceremony to salute local family’s son BY KRIS GRANT Nearly five years to the day after the 9/11 attacks, Marine 1st Lt. Nathan Krissoff, a counterintelligence officer with the 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion, deployed to Iraq on Sept. 6, 2006. Just three months later, in the early morning hours of Dec. 9, as he and three fellow Marines were returning to base after combat patrol in a town on the outskirts of Fallujah, Krissoff’s Humvee was struck by a roadside bomb. He bore the brunt of the explosion and was killed instantly. A plaque honoring Nate Krissoff will be dedicated at the annual Memorial Day Ceremony at Mount Soledad National Veterans Memorial, beginning 2 p.m. Monday, May 25 at 6905 La Jolla Scenic Drive (at Via Capri). The keynote speaker will be Maj. Gen. Lawrence D. Nicholson, Commanding General, 1st Marine Division, Camp Pendleton. The ceremonies will include music from the MCRD Marine Corps Brass Quintet and a T-34 Perfor-

mance team fly-over. Col. Bill Seely, who was Krissoff’s commanding officer in Iraq, will address his character and ultimate service to country. Seely will also share the inspiring story of the entire Krissoff family — his father, William B. Krissoff, M.D., his mother, Christine Krissoff of Rancho Santa Fe, and his younger brother, Austin, who also became a Marine intelligence officer. Dr. Krissoff found a very special way to honor his son’s memory. At age 61, he left his thriving orthopedic practice to join the Navy Medical Corps, serving as the primary or assisting surgeon on more than 225 serious casualties. (View video at YouTube: Bill Krissoff.) One family’s story According to his father, Nathan was deeply moved by the 9/11 attacks that occurred while he was in his junior year at Williams College in Massachusetts. Many of Nate’s friends had friends or relatives who were lost in the attacks. A year after he graduated, Nate applied to

join the CIA, but his recruiter, although impressed by his academics and character, encouraged him to first gain some real-world experience. Nate chose to do so through service to country: he joined the Marines as an intelligence officer in 2004, at a time when the war in Iraq was volatile. But that was where he requested assignment, after intelligence school and an assignment in Okinawa. The story of sacrifice and determination didn’t end with Nate’s death. In the summer of 2007, his parents hosted Col. Seely at their home in Reno, Nevada. Dr. Krissoff asked who provided medical care for Marines recovering from severe injuries. Seely told him that was the Navy Medical Corps battalion surgeon. For Dr. Krissoff, that was an important moment. “I knew that was what I wanted to do: become a battalion surgeon. I felt it would be a fitting and rewarding way for me to give back. “In most cases, fathers inspire sons,” he said. “In this case, sons inspired Dad.” Krissoff was referring not only to his son Nate’s ultimate sacrifice, but to his son, Austin, who, at the time of Nate’s death, was finishing officers school on his way to becoming a Marine. Krissoff left his thriving orthopedic practice to join the Navy Medical Corps. But the road to the war zone wasn’t easy. Help from the top Recruiters told him he was too far past the age limit of 42 to be remotely considered. It took presidential intervention for Krissoff to override the age limit. After an address to the American Legion in Reno, where the Krissoffs lived at the time, President George Bush and Special Senior Advisor Karl Rove met with the Krissoffs and other families who had lost loved ones in Iraq or Afghanistan. When the president asked whether there was anything he could do for the families, Krissoff spoke up. “I’m a pretty good orthopedic surgeon,” he said. “When my younger son is deployed to Iraq next March, I’d like to be working there as a Navy medical officer.”

Bush and First Lady Laura Bush with Dr. Bill Krissoff. Courtesy photos Bush quickly turned to Christine, knowing this would mean both her husband and surviving son would be in a war theater simultaneously. “What does Mama think about this?” the president asked. After Christine told him she was in agreement, the president asked Austin for his assessment. Austin said his dad was in good shape — he had long run marathons, skied and kayaked — and could handle the assignment. The president summoned Rove and tasked him with making the arrangements. Rove checked out Krissoff on his way back to Washington and learned that he was indeed “a pretty good surgeon.” “His reputation was that of an outstanding trauma and sports medicine surgeon. He was also a marathon runner and a really fine person,” Rove wrote. Two days later, Rove placed Krissoff’s application on the president’s desk just before Bush was to meet with Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff at the time. On his final day at the White House, Rove wrote Krissoff a note to wish him well. Inspired by his sons In short order, Krissoff retired from his medical practice. Once commissioned, he joined the Navy Reserve’s 4th Medical Battalion north of Miramar Air Station, and the Krissoffs moved to San Diego County. Krissoff served two deployments, the first with a surgical team from Camp Lejeune at al Taqaddam Air Base near Fallujah, just a few miles from where Nate

had been killed. His second, just days after his return stateside, was at the main trauma center at Camp Bastion in southwestern Afghanistan and coincided with the Marines’ assault on Marjah, a Taliban sanctuary riddled with snipers and makeshift antipersonnel mines. Krissoff’s first case was a triple amputee. Over the next seven months, he served as the primary or assisting surgeon on 225 casualties. He worked at Camp Pendleton through 2011, then deployed to Guantanamo Bay. Through it all, he said, he remained inspired by his two sons. “Nate had a lot of talents,” Dr. Krissoff reflected. “Whatever he put his mind to, he accomplished.” Those accomplishments included a high school career where he was a standout athlete in water polo, captain of the swim team, president of the student body, an accomplished classical pianist and poet, and the top English student. “He had many strengths; he was inclusive and had an innate emotional intelligence,” Krissoff said, and, as a case in point, shared a letter Nate wrote home just three months before his death: “Almost five years to the day after September 11, 2001, I have the chance to put my money where my mouth is in terms of service ... I’m constantly reminded of that famous quote from Tom Hanks’ character at the end of ‘Saving Private Ryan’: ‘Earn this.’ Earning it will mean sacrifice, determination, doing my job to the best of my ability.

Former head of county’s prison food service stirs up tasty memoir BY KRISTINA HOUCK For more than two decades, Louise Mathews served some of her tastiest dishes to those behind bars. Now retired, the local author is sharing some of the tricks of her trade in her new book, “Jail House Cuisine: From the Right Side of the Bars.” Mathews is scheduled to read and sign copies of her book June 3 at the Del Mar Library. “I wanted to write it all down so that folks know what we’re doing in San Diego County,” said Mathews, who retired as chief of food services for the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department in 2007. As chief of food services, Mathews was responsible for the department’s food and nutrition services. With help from about 150 employees and 600 to 700 inmates, Mathews served about 8,000 inmates and staff members each day. Some had dietary restrictions. Others had religious restrictions. All had to be fed on a government budget with a diet that followed strict state regulations. Published in January, Mathews’ book details her experience, from her first day on the job to her last. It also features some of her famous recipes, from Cream Of Broccoli Soup to Ugly Duckling Cake. “It’s a very unique book; there’s nothing like it out there,” said Mathews, who lives in Santee. “And the recipes are so good. I didn’t put anything in here that wasn’t exceptional.” Originally from Texas, Mathews has more than 42 years of food service management experience, 21 of which she served with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Depart-

ment. When her husband retired from the U.S. Navy in 1984, the couple settled in San Diego County. Soon after, Mathews looked for a job that would allow her to spend more time with her husband, a disabled veteran, yet also earn more money. She eventually came across an ad for a food services position with the county and decided to apply. After an eight-month application process — which included a background check, polygraph test, physical and mental health exams, and individual and panel interviews — Mathews got the job. She started as chief of food services in September 1986, a position she would hold for 21 years. Mathews recalled telling her prospective employers not to hire her unless they wanted good food. “I can’t do anything other than that,” she said. Knowing that many prison riots are food-related, Mathews quickly decided the department needed to be overhauled. She needed to create new recipes, update the menu, hire and train kitchen staff, and ultimately change the way the department purchased and prepared food. “It was a mess,” she said. As the daughter of a chef, Mathews grew up spending time in restaurant kitchens. She knew what did and did not work, and immediately, she knew San Diego County Sheriff’s Department needed a centralized cooking center to serve all its facilities. Mathews championed such a center, and in 1991, the department opened the Central Food Production Center, a

Cook-chill is the process of cooking meals until they are almost done and then chilling and storing them. This cooking method ensures consistency and quality in many chain restaurants, including Coco’s Bakery and Mimi’s Café, Mathews explained. “It’s low-cost, high-quality food,” she said. Over her career with the department, Mathews won the International Food Service Manufacturers’ Association’s Sil-

She also received an honorary doctorate of food services from the North American Association of Food Equipment Manufacturers. Mathews also consulted with other food service managers across the country and around the world, demonstrating how they could also use the cook-chill method to run an efficient and economical facility. “People in San Diego should see what we’re doing — we are actually doing something tremendous,” Mathews said. “The production center is still running. Twenty-five years later, it’s still doing clean, sanitary and cost-effective food.” “Jail House Cuisine” is available on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Outskirts Press.

Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation nourishes dreams of military children BY JEANNE MCKINNEY The Hilton Del Mar hosted a gathering of supporters and friends for the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation’s inaugural San Diego Awards dinner recently. As the nation’s oldest and largest provider of needbased scholarships to military families, the foundation was there to honor major donors, Marines, and children of Marines and Navy corpsmen during the Month of the Military Child. High-ranking Marine and Naval officers and other Marines in colorful dress uniforms escorted spouses and significant others. They brought a legacy of service and sacrifice to the celebration. Margaret B. Davis, president and CEO of the foundation, was cheerful and gracious while praising the honorees: “We believe that the children of Marines and Navy corpsmen are truly the future of this country. They are raised with honor, courage and commitment — they are doing great things.” As the granddaughter of a World War I Marine corporal, the wife of a 38-year Marine officer (now retired), and the mother of an active-duty Marine, Davis has her own legacy of service. “I learned passion for Marine families when my husband was a battalion commander —- when I saw the impact (of service) on 900 families that were under his command and care. We said to each other, ‘We’ve got to take care of these families.’” She has done so ever since. She explained how with the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, “Funding is 100 percent private contributions from individuals, corporations, and foundations. These are all folks who believe that this program is one of the best investments they can make. “We are the only military scholarship provider that funds every eligible student,” stated Davis. Eligibility depends largely on financial need, coupled with a parent’s Marine Corps service or Navy corpsman service with a Marine unit, and a student’s grade point average of 2.0. “There’s tremendous pressure for our resources, because there are a lot of great eligible students,” Davis said. Most of the foundation’s students have a 3.0 or better. The foundation tracks its scholarship

recipients. “We can tell every investor exactly what student they are investing in, and then tell them what happens, what those students are studying, when they are graduating, and what they go do.” Brittany Brown, the daughter of a recently retired Marine Corps master sergeant with 22-plus years of service, was excited to be a speaker at the dinner. Brown is a “growing investment” at Cal State San Marcos. “I’m studying biology right now, with an emphasis on molecular cell biology,” said Brown. “I actually want to be an oncology nurse. I want to do more work with cancer. Without this opportunity, I would probably not be saying ‘I’m graduating next year.’ It’s a huge blessing to be able to just focus on school.” Brown has two sisters, also attending school. She offers some advice: “Reach out around you — family is not just a nuclear family. Honestly, that’s what the Marine Corps is all about. I made a lot of friends that supported me when my dad wasn’t there, because they understand the experience.” Andrew Javier Coba, another recipient of the foundation’s generosity, was also an awards attendee. Coba was 4 years old when his father (an American citizen) chose to join the military and moved his family from Quito, Ecuador, to the United States. “He had two kids, no education, and the Marine Corps was our best option for a promising future,” said Coba. He outlined the challenges of growing up in a military family. “Our generation — we come from years of war, of loss, and sacrifice. It was a lot of struggling in the fact that — we’re missing our parents.” Coba’s father is an active-duty aviation maintenance officer, selected to be promoted from captain to major. “They work a lot,” said Coba. That creates extra burdens in a household, especially when the father is gone on deployment. “I had to grow up at a faster rate than other kids,” he said. An upside for him has been that “We’ve become a really tight-knit group. We’ve had to prove our commitment to each other.” Being on the foundation’s tracking radar “is one of the greatest honors I’ve expeSee SCHOLARHSIP, page 29

Social media postings provide framework for novel by local author CCA Eco BY DIANE Y. WELCH Social media is now a part of life. But for some it has become an obsession, with their all-important status postings to their virtual friends mattering more than their actual lives. Two real-life best friends and co-authors, Liz Fenton and Lisa Steinke, have taken this concept, added a magical element, and created “The Status of All Things,” a novel just released by Atria Books. It follows their debut book, “Your Perfect Life.” Two launch events are planned locally: at 7:30 p.m. June 8 at Warwick’s in La Jolla, and at 7 p.m. June 10 at Eclipse Chocolate in San Diego. Many Facebook pages are so carefully curated that people’s lives look perfect, commented Steinke about the premise for the novel’s plot. “But the truth may be quite the opposite,” she added. The main character in “The Status of All Things” a 35-year-old advertising executive named Kate, is one such “social media junkie.” The plot of the romantic comedy jumps off when, a week before Kate’s wedding in Hawaii, she’s checking in at hot spots, posting her witty observations and picture-perfect selfies. When she is unexpectedly jilted the night before her wedding, she posts, “I wish I could do the past month over.” Kate wakes up the next day able to go back in time and rewrite her history through Facebook status updates. Her fiancé, Max, is still with her, along with the realization that she’s been given

the power to wish for whatever she wants. “Kate always framed her life a certain way,” said Steinke. “A big part of her worry was that she had built up her Facebook friends’ expectations for this wonderful wedding and she couldn’t give them this big payoff.” For Steinke — a former television producer, now living in Chicago — and Fenton, who lives in North County, their friendship is firmly based on reality and was developed through a shared experience that includes attending Vista High School and Cal State Poly Pomona. Both majored in communications, belonged to the same sorority, and were roommates, and have been close friends for more than 25 years. The two became collaborative writers eight years ago and began brainstorming the plot for their latest book a year ago. “We started talking about Facebook and how we all have people in our social media lives that we are jealous of,” said Steinke.“We asked the question, ‘What is it that makes us believe that people’s lives are perfect? And why are we so afraid to put our real life out there?’” “One thing that we really talked about is that you have to be in on the joke with Facebook. You’ve got to know that everybody is putting their best foot out there, and you can’t let yourself get down or put yourself up to the same level as everyone else,” said Fenton. “We started asking, what if you could live the life you wanted to on Facebook, and what if you could make a wish on Facebook

Club hosts ‘free market’ May 28

Lisa Steinke and Liz Fenton co-wrote ‘The Status of All Things.” and it came true?” she recalled. “Is it more important to be happy or perfect? The two things are not the same.” The book took about six months to write. Team-writing makes the process easier than writing alone, said Steinke. “It’s awesome to have someone to bounce ideas off of. I will write a chapter, pass it to Liz, she will edit that chapter, and vice versa.” Consequently, writing the book was joyful for both authors, they said. Earning early praise, the novel has been compared to the movie, “Groundhog Day,” set in the era of social media, and has already been called the “must-read of the summer,” with a favorable Net Galley review.

DM-SB Optimist Club’s Children’s Challenge Awards honor student standouts BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar/Solana Beach Optimist Club held its 33rd annual Vic Kops Children’s Challenge Awards on May 13, a happy morning celebrating the brightest examples of elementary school students in the categories of science, humanities, courage, arts, fellowship and community service. This year’s eight honorees were Shreya Choksi, a sixth-grader at Torrey Hills; Aviv Pilipski, second-grader at Sage Canyon; Hannah Eghtedari, third-grader at Ocean Air; Addy O, a second-grader at Del Mar Heights; Lila Steele, a second-grader at Del Mar Heights; Bettina Zhang, fifth-grader at Sage Canyon; Aaron Brucker, a sixth-grader at Sage Canyon; and Griffin Roberts, a secondgrader at Ocean Air. The students also received a $100 prize, which they were all very excited about. Shreya received the award for science, nominated by her teacher, Uma Krishnan. With her partner Hanan Zhang, she won first place in the regional Science Olympiad in February. The team went onto the state level, where they placed fourth in Southern California. Krishnan said Shreya is a dedicated student who studies and researches topics on her own and has offered to share her expertise as a volunteer coach for fourth- and fifth-grade students. “She is an ideal student that every teacher would like to have,” Krishnan said. Aviv won his award in humanities for his excellent writing. Teacher Chris Rappa said she teaches her students to write a strong hook in their stories that will “knock readers’ socks off.”

“Aviv is so good at writing hooks I call him a ‘hookologist,’” said Rappa as Aviv stood tall with a huge, proud smile. Rappa said Aviv is also willing to assist his fellow students with their writing, helping them add “juice.” Rappa said she’s sure that Aviv’s craft will weave itself into any career he chooses. Hannah, an award recipient in the category of courage, is an “absolutely amazing” girl who has overcome many challenges in her young life and has done so with strength and grace, according to her teacher, Laura McCarthy. Complications from a benign tumor have caused her to endure several surgeries, facial paralysis and hearing loss. “Setbacks have not stopped her at all,” McCarthy said, noting that Hannah displays responsibility in finishing her work and leadership in the classroom by being a model student. Also, Hannah is a strong writer, and recently wrote a very touching piece about a mother’s unconditional love. “Above all, Hannah is a good friend and is not afraid of her differences,” McCarthy said. Another winner in the category of courage was Addy, whose congenital venous malformation affects her legs, knee, foot and every movement she makes. Her teacher, Paige Rollins, said she confronts her challenges with endurance, bravery and great courage. On bad days, she uses crutches, and she always finds a way to adapt. As an example, she participates in the lunchtime running club by skipping and has logged some of the

A prolific writer, she has written 15 short story books about dragons, her favorite topic. She also writes informational brochures in her spare time on topics like vegetables to hand out to her neighborhood community and also has several pen pals with whom she exchanges letters throughout the country and in Canada. “Lila just loves to write,” said her teacher, Nicki Waldal. Bettina was honored in the category of arts, but her teacher, Genevieve Chapluk, said she “shines in so many ways.” Chapluk said Bettina is talented, creative, diligent and collaborative and excels in painting, drawing and writing. Bettina uses her skills to strengthen bonds with those around her, working with her friends on pieces and making gifts out of her prose such as when someone is sick or by writing a Mother’s Day poem. She draws inspiration from artists she loves, such as writing a letter to Chapluk from “Harry Potter” character Professor Albus Dumbledore. Chapluk said she admires how Bettina finds ways to share her gift to help brighten someone’s day and make people feel special. Aaron received the Children’s Challenge award in the category of fellowship for what he brings to Sage Canyon’s after-school program. Eboni Harvey, who leads after-school care, said she gives the kids freedom to come up with ideas for what they want to do in their groups, called chapters. As president of his chapter, Aaron chose to run a charity drive for the Salvation Army, collecting boxes and boxes overflowing with goods. “We got over 100 things and I’m really proud of it,” Aaron said. “This guy will be a future leader for this community,” Harvey said. Griffin, the community service award winner, has also made a difference during afterschool hours. On his own, he went around the Ocean Air campus and collected plastic bottles that were not recycled. He found a bin to use for recycling in the after-school program and monitored students to make sure they put items in the correct spot. He also offers to monitor snack time. “He sets an example for everyone,” said his after-school care teacher, Chelsea Galvan. “It’s rare when a kid want to help and do so much for the campus and not expect anything in return.”

Kid-friendly car show Touch A Truck is May 31 at CCA; event raises funds to fight children’s cancer Kids can get the chance to climb inside some of their favorite vehicles as Touch A Truck returns to Carmel Valley’s Canyon Crest Academy. The event, which raises money to help fight children’s cancer, will take place from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. May 31. Touch A Truck San Diego started seven years ago with a vision to give kids the opportunity to sit in the driver’s seats of vehicles big and small. This year’s event features nearly 100 race cars, hot rods, motorcycles, military, construction, off-road and emergency response vehicles. The Mercy Air Ambulance will also land and take off on the CCA athletic fields, and will be open for kids to check out while on the ground. The first Touch A Truck was held in 2009 at Canyon Crest Academy, less than a year after the event’s inspiration, Max Mikulak, died at age 7 from neuroblastoma — a common cancer that mostly affects children under age 5. Max attended Solana Highlands Elementary, and his favorite things, besides his teacher and friends at school, were trucks, “Star Wars,” World War II, skateboards, bugs and Legos. When his parents started the Max’s Ring of Fire Child-

Touch A Truck San Diego started seven years ago with a vision to give kids the opportunity to sit in the driver’s seats of vehicles big and small. Courtesy photo hood Cancer Foundation, to continue to pursue a cure for childhood cancers like the one that took their son, they came up with the idea of a car show for kids. “The owners who bring their vehicles are amazing people who love our cause, and are happy to open up their hearts and expensive machinery, knowing how much happiness they bring to the kids at the event,” said Melissa Mikulak, Max’s mom. Besides vehicle displays, kids will find “Star Wars” characters, a 200-foot zipline, laser tag, face painting, food trucks, games, a stagecoach, a raffle, and local youth bands. “Thanks to the support of the greater San Diego community, and Carmel Valley in particular, Touch A Truck has been an amazing success and we’ve raised over $220,000,” said Mikulak. “We are hoping to increase that total to $300K with this year’s event.” All the money raised helps support the Neuroblastoma and Medulloblastoma Translational Research Consortium.

Author Voss shares her pain, joy and growth in memoir ‘One of Everything’ BY ANTOINETTE KURITZ AND JARED KURITZ We love to read memoirs. And judging by the number of them being published, writers love to write them. From “Angela’s Ashes” to “A Child Called It,” what many of the most successful memoirs have in common is the writer’s ability to put us on the ground amid the pain, pathos, turmoil, growth and joy of their personal story in a way that creates true empathy. The reader is thus not only engaged, but also profoundly affected by a writer sharing a journey in a way that makes each of us take stock of our own. In “One of Everything,” author Donna Carol Voss is not just honest, she is brutally honest, creating a story that is simultaneously engaging and enveloping. We feel her pain, her joy, her trepidation. We are brought back to our own youthful insecurities — magnified by the depth of her experience. And, in the end, we assess our journey as she has assessed hers. One has to wonder what it takes to open the Donna Carol Voss has door to a life the way the best memoirists do. Meet Voss and learn about memoir writing at Barnes & written “One of Noble Grossmont at 6:30 p.m. May 29 and Barnes & Noble Everything,” a memoir. Oceanside at 5 p.m. May 30. Visit www.donnacarolvoss.com. She’ll be speaking at area Q: Not many people would have the chutzpah to Barnes & Noble stores. share a story like yours. When did you decide to write a memoir, and why did you write it as memoir and not fiction? A: I fell into writing a memoir by accident when I read something at a writer’s conference that I had written as a lark about how weird it is to be a Berkeley grad living as a Mormon in Utah. I decided to write the entire story as a memoir because doing so set me free from a lifetime of hiding different parts of myself from different people. I also believe that to make any experience meaningful, especially suffering, we need to use it to help others. I’m hoping that my willingness to come out of hiding will help someone else do the same. Q: What did you find to be the most difficult part of writing a memoir? A: Overcoming my fear of being judged for my past. Q: What was the easiest? A: Telling the funniest parts of the story. Q: Other than the obvious, what is the biggest difference between writing fiction and memoir?

A: In fiction, if it bombs or people don’t like your characters, you toss it and try again; in memoir, it stings. Q: In Chapter 3 of your book you state that, “Pretending takes on almost life-ordeath importance, a Stockholm syndrome allegiance to the people I depend on for survival.” As a child, how was that manifested in your home life? A: I find it interesting that children fight to stay with even the most abusive parents because that’s all they know. My parents were not abusive, merely damaged, but I knew nothing different and adapted myself to their limitations as a matter of unconscious survival. It felt disloyal and mildly shocking to realize later that they had failed as parents in a number of ways. Q: You grew up with a certain amount of dysfunction in your home. How would you describe that dysfunction? What was its impact on you? A: The dysfunction in my home arose from the same source from which I think all dysfunction arises, namely the unresolved pain of my parents. They had each passed out of childhood without experiencing close, loving relationships with their parents, and they couldn’t give me what they didn’t have. But understanding that embracing limitations is a choice, I have worked to overcome the effect of their shortfall in my life; recognizing the impact of this particular dysfunction, I in turn have chosen to work against what is comfortable and familiar to achieve close, loving relationships with my children — a work in progress. Q: As an adult, do you believe that there are any families that truly avoid dysfunction? A: I don’t see how. It’s like asking if there are any truly perfect families. I think dysfunction is a continuum and families range from low levels of dysfunction to extremely high levels. As Big Bird has been wont to say, “Nobody’s perfect.” Q: We are shaped by our experiences, and you have definitely had experiences? What are the most profound ways in which yours have shaped you? A: I can talk to anyone about anything, can see virtually any point of view. When I was a young child, I felt like I could slip inside someone else’s head and feel what they were feeling. My experiences only reinforced that sense of connection, and it has given me a great deal of compassion for others. Q: How do your husband and children feel about you exposing your life and theirs in your memoir? A: My husband is a remarkable man. I asked him once why he was willing to give me a chance when I had so much baggage, and he said, “Because I believe in the atonement.” He believes in me, also, a major reason why I have the confidence to tell my story. He’s only human, so he acknowledges that he has to take a few deep breaths as the book becomes public, but he has encouraged me harder than anyone to take this leap. See MEMOIR, page 20

SB replaces dead Torrey pine with 8-foot tree BY KRISTINA HOUCK With help from the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society, Solana Beach recently replaced a dead Torrey pine on the city’s Coastal Rail Trail. A new Torrey pine was planted along the trail May 14, several yards away from where the beetle-damaged Torrey pine was cut down April 1. Although the city planted four Torrey pine saplings nearby, the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society contacted the city to discuss replacing the 40-foot-tall Torrey pine with a more mature tree, resident Jim Nelson explained. “The tree was up about 40 feet and had a gorgeous crown,” said Nelson, a member of the Civic and Historical Society. “We shed some tears when that tree died. We didn’t want to wait 15 years for these saplings to get up to a decent size, so we felt strongly that we should do something.” The city of Solana Beach and the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society split the cost of the new Torrey pine, which totaled $3,709, Nelson said. The roughly The new Torrey pine is 15 feet 8-year-old tree stands 15 feet tall and weighed at least tall and about eight years old. 3,000 pounds when it arrived in a 60-inch box. Mark Holland and his team from Big Trees of California planted the tree early in the morning. The old tree’s stump is also still on the trail. Nelson said the city has received two proposals to transform the Torrey pine stump into public art, including a proposal by woodworking artist Tim Richards, an Encinitas resident who recently carved a Torrey pine stump in Del Mar into the “Sunset Seat,” a wooden bench with an attached red-tailed hawk. The Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society’s Seaweeders Garden Club sponsored Richards’ proposal, which Nelson said features a pelican.

I asked my 19-year-old son how he feels about me exposing my life and his, and he said, “I don’t care. It’s a great story.” High praise indeed from a recent high-school graduate. He could talk my other two children off a cliff, so if it’s OK with him, it’s OK with them. Q: It is said that everyone has a story. What sets yours apart? And what do you hope readers take away from reading your book? A: Sheer volume of experience sets my story apart from most as well as its dizzying variety, each sparkle of which lives on in some fashion inside me. Tennyson says in Ulysses, “I am a part of all that I have met.” What I love about my journey is that all that I have met is part of me. I’ve moved on from people, groups, religions and ideas, but I lived them fully at the moment and bring with me the best of their essence. I hope readers take away that you can quit smoking without becoming a born-again smoker. You can disagree without becoming disagreeable. And even if you make some people mad, nothing feels better than being real. Q: What is the best advice you ever received as a writer? A: Voice is everything. Q: What advice would you share with aspiring authors? A: Have your work edited and proofed. Nothing makes a writer look worse than simple typos and grammar mistakes that could have been avoided. Antoinette Kuritz and Jared Kuritz are the team behind STRATEGIES Public Relations and the La Jolla Writer’s Conference (www.lajollawritersconference.com).

tense experiences of being in combat, and you can only imagine what a day-to-day life is like in the Marines.” There are 11 men at Freedom Station and about 125 at the barracks at the Naval Medical Center San Diego. One of Warrior Foundation’s success stories is Christopher Lawrence, who was injured in Iraq in 2007 and spent almost three years recovering at the medical center. “Warrior Foundation’s outings such as deep sea fishing, golfing, shooting, hot air ballooning and bass fishing tournaments kept me from getting stuck in my barracks room and helped me to connect with people again,” he said. “One year, they sent me home for my first Christmas in five years; being around my family for the holidays was better for my recovery than any medicine. “While trying to stay in the Marine Corps, Warrior Foundation Freedom Station modified a pair of boots for me to fit my prosthetic in, allowing me to wear my uniform again properly,” he continued. “I am thankful for the Warrior Foundation Freedom Station and how much it helped me to recover.” Lehmkuhler said one of the Warrior Foundation’s biggest needs is to ensure that more veterans can experience what Lawrence did — funding to help send them home for the holidays to be with their families. Other needs include pallets of water. As the veterans are going through therapy and taking different kinds of medications, they always need bottled water.

the first time they laced up their boots as Marines and then hearing reports about them coming back with injuries — that brought the whole thing full circle.” The experience inspired Rost to give back in some way, and he discovered The Warriors Foundation, founded in 2004, and their then-fledgling 12-unit transitional housing facility called the Freedom Station. Through supporting the organization through various events, he noticed that the men were often holed up in the hospital at Balboa or recuperating at the Freedom Station with not a lot to do. “I thought, ‘What would be fun to do that’s relatively easy to put together? Why not take them out on a fishing boat?’” Rost said. He called up Fisherman’s Landing and chartered a boat, paying for the trip himself and through donations from friends, handling rods, tackle, food and deck hands. He welcomed aboard any severity of injury — from Marines who blew out their ACLs during training to a triple amputee injured in combat. The first fishing trip was held in 2010, and it has been held every year since. The time spent on the ocean is space for the veterans to get out of their own heads for a little bit and just fish. “There’s not a lot of conversation; it isn’t a therapy session. It’s just showing them how to put a sardine on a hook and cast it out,” Rost said. “We treat them no differently than anybody else. You don’t need two legs to fish. “The trip gives them the freedom to relax and laugh and do something completely out of their normal everyday,” he said. “They’ve gone through such incredibly in-

A Fresh Look on Finances with Aubrey Morrow CFPÂŽ

How to WRECK Your Retirement

by Overlooking the Possibility of Need for Long-Term Health Care LONG-TERM CARE is the #1 Financial Risk faced by retirees.

According to the Department of Health and Human Services, at least 70 percent of people over 65 will eventually need long-term care, either at home or in a nursing home, and that can be very expensive. The average stay for a woman entering a nursing home is almost four years; if sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in a semiprivate room, that cost in San Diego is about $375,000. For married couples, the chances that one spouse will need long-term care rises to 91 percent. When it comes to ďŹ nancial planning, determining how to pay for longterm care is often the last item families address, even though it may be one of the most important. Failure to plan for long-term care needs can be ďŹ nancially devastating. We are well aware that health care costs are a big concern for people going into retirement, but the costs of long-term care can still be an unexpected ďŹ nancial shock.

Pacific Ridge Girls Lacrosse Team wins first CIF championship The Pacific Ridge Girls Varsity Lacrosse team won its first California Interscholastic Federation Championship on May 16. The fourth-seeded Firebirds captured the Division II title in thrilling fashion, battling back from an early deficit to defeat No. 2 Ramona 8-7 in overtime. The team’s comeback was buoyed by a terrific performance from sophomore goalkeeper and Rancho Santa Fe resident Maranda Phillips, who allowed just one goal during the final half of regulation and overtime. Other key contributors include senior Britta Gullahorn, a resident of Carmel Valley, who scored the equalizer with just one minute remaining in regulation, and senior Noelle Reich, an Encinitas resident, who scored the game-winning goal during the first period of extra time. This is the second CIF Championship won by a Pacific Ridge team this year. Firebirds Boys Varsity Basketball won its first CIF Championship in March. The school’s Boys Varsity Lacrosse team, ranked No. 1 in San Diego and No. 10 in California, will try for an additional CIF Championship as it begins playoff competition this week.

Torrey Pines High sweeps Division I swim titles Torrey Pines High School, led by Head Coach Richard Contreras, swept the CIF Division I Swim Championships, winning the title for both boys and girls. This is the sixth consecutive year the Lady Falcons have brought home the title. The last time the boys and girls won dual titles was 2011. The CIF meet format was expanded this year, with 32 athletes qualifying for each event and 16 coming back for finals. According to Contreras, “The new format really helped us. We are a large team with a great deal of quality depth. It was all on display on Saturday, May 16, at CIF.” This is also the first year for a state championship for swim. The top three swimmers from combined Division I and Division II CIF results will go to state. Ten Torrey Pines athletes qualified to move on to this next level.

Education Matters/Opinion

Testing, testing...1, 2, 3: Part 2 BY MARSHA SUTTON Students in grades 3-8, and grade 11, have been spending a good part of the merry month of May taking standardized tests ordered this year by the state under a new system of test- Marsha Sutton ing known by the cumbersome name of Smarter Balanced. At the San Dieguito Union High School District, students in grades 7, 8 and 11 are taking Smarter Balanced assessments. Students in grades 8 and 10 are also being tested in science. I recently watched about 30 eighthgrade students at Earl Warren Middle School take a Smarter Balanced math test in the school’s computer lab. It was fascinating, seeing students plugged into their electronic devices, taking tests in a Brave New World sort of way. Wandering around at the beginning of the test, I noticed that each computer screen featured a different starting question. No copying possible. More interesting were the test questions. On one question, kids were shown an example of the steps one hypothetical student used to solve a problem, and then were asked to indicate how the student calculated the problem wrong. In which step was the first mistake? The second? How should the problem be solved? Interesting questions. What’s cool about Smarter Balanced is the ability of the test to adapt to student input using what’s called Computer Adaptive Testing. This allows the test to adjust to a student’s ability to answer the questions correctly. In other words, each student gets a different follow-on question based on how well they do on the previous question. If they answer correctly, the computer system then asks a different question than if the student answers incorrectly. Basing the difficulty of future questions on previous answers provides a more accurate measurement of student achievement, the SBAC website states. According to www.SmarterBalanced. org, the computer adaptive system gauges how well each student meets the requirements of the test ‘blueprint,” which will select two questions out of perhaps a dozen on fractions, for example, that assess basic ability. With correct answers, the system then takes the student to higher level questions. Students who answer challenging questions correctly receive higher scores. Students drag, drop, manipulate, complete graphs and charts, write short answers, pick the best answer (not necessarily the right one) … in other words, become engaged with their learning.

I liked it. And so did the students I spoke with. “It’s more interesting, more than just multiple choice,” said Aliza, an Earl Warren eighth-grader. “There were a lot of tests,” said Leah, also an EWMS eighth-grader. But she said it was not overwhelming. She added that the classroom preparation was minimal, and the few practice tests, she said, were useful. Defending your work Earl Warren principal Adam Camacho and SDUHSD superintendent Rick Schmitt both like the new assessments, which are based on Common Core State Standards. Schmitt said Common Core curriculum looks more like high school AP and honors classes, and the Smarter Balanced tests are modeled after Advanced Placement tests, reflecting more rigorous standards. Previous assessments focused more on memorization and the ability to recall content, he said, while these tests assess critical thinking and ask students to apply learning in new ways through analysis, synthesis and inquiry-based problem-solving. “They must defend their work and communicate their thinking,” Schmitt said, which better prepares them for college and career. He also said the SAT and ACT tests are now aligned to Common Core. That many of the test questions integrate math with English/language arts was another positive feature, they both noted. Camacho said the computer-based, interactive tests are more kid-friendly and engaging. Earl Warren serves about 700 students in grades 7 and 8, and Camacho reported five opt-outs. Although comparisons cannot be made with previous standardized tests, educators do expect performance scores to be lower than what students and parents have come to expect, due to the newness of the material and incomplete teacher familiarity with Common Core. They both stressed that these tests are only one of many ways to assess student achievement. There are no penalties (yet) for schools that don’t administer the tests, but Schmitt said this year’s test information will provide a baseline for next year when the state hopes to have in place an accountability system, complete with rankings or school achievement indicators of some sort. He said this year’s results would be good feedback for students and teachers – to learn how well the new standards are being taught and how well students are learning the material. “It also helps prepare the kids for AP tests,” he added. At a news conference, Tom Torlakson, California’s state superintendent of public

instruction, called the tests “an academic check-up.” Despite SDUHSD parent meetings and Schmitt’s frequent columns on the subject, many parents remain uninformed about the shift to Common Core and its new assessments. Schmitt identified three primary reasons why Common Core seems misunderstood. He said the benefits have not been clearly communicated, teachers need more training, and – in a word – politics. Common Core has become so politicized that its noble purpose and its cooperative development by business, industry, professionals and government leaders across all political spectrums, have become lost in translation. There are very good reasons why Common Core matters. [See Part One, last week.] Teaching children how to think, and not just memorize boring facts and formulas, is a novel approach that is a long time coming. Opting out of testing may be gaining traction across the country, and no one argues that parents don’t have the right to choose that for their children. If parents want to opt their kids out, then fine. I’m all for nonviolent civil disobedience. But do it for the right reasons. Opposition to Common Core standards is not one of them.

Change Del Mar’s General Plan, not its design review ordinance Last week’s newspaper contained a call from Hershell Price for all Del Mar residents to attend the May 18 Council meeting to change the Design Review Ordinance so that our neighborhoods do not become blighted with more large out-of-scale homes. “Blighted”? Where are these homes that have caused any blighted conditions in Del Mar? Contrary to blaming the DRO for size of homes in Del Mar, blame lies with the homeowners who built them according to their desires and according to the building standards adopted in the Del Mar Municipal Code, which are supposed to reflect the goals of the Del Mar General Plan to protect the health and safety of its citizens. The DMMC spells out specifically how much of a lot can be covered by a building, how tall it can be, where it can be placed on a lot, etc. And overriding California Gov. Code Sec. 65852 states, “All such regulations shall be uniform for each class or kind of building or use of land throughout each zone.” That’s called “equal protection, under the law.” So how can the DRO authorize different zoning standards for houses in the same zone? It seems to me the General Plan and/or the DMMC would have to be changed — not the DRO. Ralph Peck Del Mar

To your health: Do your homework when it comes to choosing nutritional supplements BY ROBERT BONAKDAR, M.D. Patients are curious about supplements, and with good reason. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than half of all Americans regularly take a nutritional supplement. Supplements are an emerging issue for both patients and physicians. Patients need to recognize that supplements can be quite potent and may interact with other drugs. Physicians need to create an open environment where patients feel comfortable discussing their supplement choices. Here are some thoughts that can help guide this conversation. Q: Do people need nutritional supplements? A: There is no one-size-fits-all solution. For example, vitamin B-12 absorption declines as we age and deficiency may accelerate cognitive decline. This is one reason the Institute of Medicine recommends supplemental B-12 for people older than 50. Many can get the extra B-12 through fortified foods, but some will need supplementation based on their diet and medical history. Supplements should be prescribed based on need and scientific evidence. Many incorporate supplements on an ad hoc basis. They get a recommendation from a friend or see an article and decide it can help them. This is an opportunity for physicians. Why does the patient feel they need a supplement? What is missing from their care that makes them reach for the bottle? Q: Are supplements safe and well regulated? A: If a supplement has any activity at all, its potential positive and negative effects should be taken seriously. There are wide variations in potency, purity and processing. People need to ask critical questions: Has it been tested, and found beneficial, in humans? How long has it been on the market? There have been supplements found to be illegally adulterated with prescription medication. More recently, the New York attorney general DNA-tested herbal supplements from several large stores and found many to be deficient of key ingredients. This has created great controversy, including the validity of the testing. What it points to again is picking supplements carefully. We should not just pick out supplements, like a bottle of shampoo, on the way

to the sock aisle. We should carefully reflect on why we are considering the supplement, discuss it with a provider and come up with a formulation that has proof of safety and benefit. This takes time and energy, but should be similar to the effort we place on making other important choices about our health care and treatments. Another consideration is drug interactions. Although not a widespread phenomenon, certain combinations need to be kept in mind and minimized. St. John’s wort can help with depression, but can also interfere with antidepressants, as well as oral contraceptives. Other supplements interact with blood thinners. Careful consideration can be the difference between finding a supplement that causes problems and one that is helpful. Patients must fully disclose their supplements, and physicians need to approach the topic without rancor. A patient who has been “supplement-shamed” may never mention it to any physician, damaging trust and diminishing care. It’s vital for physicians to open the discussion and provide important information to clarify a supplement’s pros and cons. Q: Setting aside supplements, what can people do to boost their health? A: Supplements are just that — supplements to our diet and lifestyle. But there are many simple ways to improve health. First, sit less. The average American sits 13 hours a day, which generates inflammation and reduces lifespan by as much as three years. Simply getting up every 30 minutes can make a difference. The gold standard for exercise is 30 minutes a day, but new research is showing people can get similar benefits from five to 10 minutes of active exercise, such as running in place or brisk walking. Eat berries. Three or more servings of blueberries or strawberries per week reduce heart disease risk in women by one-third. And they don’t have to be fresh berries; frozen or dried provide the same benefits. Robert Bonakdar, M.D., is director of pain management at Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

To vaccinate or not to vaccinate? That is not the question Citizens are polarized by Bill SB277, requiring government schedules and mandatory vaccinations for all children in California public and private schools. Immunization rates are optimum. So, why do we need SB277? SB277 removes the right of informed consent from California parents. It slid through the Senate Floor vote, now heading for the Assembly. If parents in California knew what was going on with SB277, they would be outraged! The authors of this bill misled the public and elected officials to quickly pass this bill, like manipulating last-minute shifts of costs onto school districts, to strategically bypass Appropriations. Merck needs California. After California, it will spread nationwide. Parents need to know SB277 facts. If there is any risk, there must be a choice. Senator Gaines testified that following vaccination, his sixth child experienced brain demyelination. Under Bill SB277, parents of vaccine-injured children are still required to vaccinate their other children. The National Childhood Vaccine Injury Act of 1986 protects Merck and other pharmaceutical companies from legal liability, transparency of ingredients, consequences of side effects, vaccine injury, and death. So, who then is liable for vaccine-related injuries that will occur? Are school districts liable? Are lawmakers in the State of California liable? Who is liable? California needs to allow Law AB2109 to continue succeeding. The Personal Belief Exemption rate dropped 20 percent since AB2109 became law 16 months ago. AB2109 “requires parents who request immunization exemptions to obtain signed documentation from a health professional that they have been informed of the benefits and risks of immunizations.” AB2109 raised “herd immunity” above the CDC’s recommended 92 percent. AB2109 has solved the problem. Senator Pan says SB277 will fix a problem that does not exist. So why do we need bill SB277? To vaccinate or not to vaccinate? That is not the question! This bill forces family out of California schools and forces them to home school, even for delaying one vaccination! This bill could force families out of California. SB277 strips religious freedom and ignores ethical objections of California parents. Tax dollars used to educate our children will be drained by settlements for vaccine-related injuries. So, please remind me why we need this bill again? Stefanie Dumont Encinitas

Garcia immigrated to the United States when he was 5 years old and has lived in the Libby Lake Community his entire life. In March 2013, Garcia was shot seven times, including a bullet to his head, at Libby Lake Park. After recovering, the once-“aimless” kid used his traumatic experience as a wake-up call and began focusing his time and energy to serving his community. Garcia helped launch the STEP UP mentoring program between Project REACH high school students and Libby Elementary students. “David has been a Project REACH Libby Lake student for about eight years now,” said Jaime Figueroa, program supervisor for Project REACH Libby Lake, and one of the individuals who nominated Garcia. “He serves as a youth mentor and speaks at events in San Diego about his story, education, his faith, and community engagement.” In June 2014, Garcia became the first member in his immigrant family to earn a high school diploma. “Before the shooting, David had a 1.5-2.0 GPA; after the shooting, he graduated with a 3.66 GPA and completed over 100 credits in one year to graduate with his class,” said Figueroa. Garcia received a $5,000 scholarship along with the award to help with costs while attending MiraCosta College. He hopes to go to law school and work in criminal justice or immigration law.

Ray Ceresino 1929 – 2015 Ray Ceresino passed away on May 1, 2015, at the age of 86. He was born in Thunder Bay, Canada, on April 24, 1929, to Frank and Emilia Ceresino. He grew up in Thunder Bay and became a professional hockey player for the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Cleveland Barons. On June 2, 1953, he married his lovely wife, Lorraine

Giardetti, and they were married for 62 years. Ray moved his family to California in 1962 and settled in the San Fernando Valley where he had a successful career as a mortgage broker. He had been retired and residing in Carmel Valley for the past 15 years. Ray and Lorraine had three children, Lynn Neault, Gayle (Joe) Belch, and Gordon (Mary) Ceresino, all of whom reside in the San Diego area. He had six grandchildren who meant the world to him, Brian, Danielle and Matt Neault, Jessica Ceresino, and Derek (Amelia) and Danny Belch. There was no prouder grandfather as he loved watching all of his grandchildren compete in sports at Torrey Pines High School and college. Ray never lost his love for sports. He was an avid golfer and his skating skills

never left him as he could be seen playing street hockey with his grandkids and skating around the streets of Carmel Valley well into his eighties. He always looked forward to The Ray Ceresino Invitational, an annual golf tournament his son established in honor of his 80th birthday, celebrated by family and close friends. Ray will always be remembered by friends and family for his wonderful personality and the way he made everyone feel when he was around them. He was truly blessed with a special family and friends; he will be loved and missed forever. He will be laid to rest at El Camino Memorial Park in San Diego on June 2, 2015.

Added resident Linda Rock, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if somethingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great product, it never hurts to evaluate it from time to time and learn what you would like to change to improve it. Times change, lifestyles change, our population shifts.â&#x20AC;? Some speakers asked to be more involved in the process because they have concerns about the size and scale of new homes in Del Mar. Other speakers stressed the need for a fair and objective design review process. All speakers emphasized that the committee represent the entire community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen things change, but I also realize change happens and change can be good,â&#x20AC;? said Delores Davies Jamison, who has lived in Del Mar for about 25 years. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What we want to do is really shape that change so that it blends in and harmonizes with our community. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clearly a situation where the process is not working for the applicant so well, and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not working for the residents,â&#x20AC;? she added. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It needs to work for all parties, to the extent that it can. It also needs to really reflect Del Mar and the kind of development we want to encourage in this community.â&#x20AC;? Community members initially expressed their dissatisfaction with the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design review process in a citizen satisfaction survey conducted Nov. 20 through Jan. 12. When the council engaged advisory committees in its Feb. 3 council priorities workshop, residents also listed evaluating the design review process among their goals. Members of the public again expressed concerns with the design review process and residential development when the council discussed its priorities at the April 20 meeting. After meeting with community members, Deputy Mayor Sherryl Parks and Sinnott proposed establishing a citizen task force to review the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design review ordinance, as well as planning procedures to ensure that new homes comply with the community plan. Their colleagues agreed at the May 4 meeting, when the council decided evaluating the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s design review process should be a top-priority project. Community members also welcomed the idea of a citizens advisory committee. At the May 18 meeting, the council established a nine-member committee that will consist of five members of the public; a former member of the design review board; a former member of the planning commission; a property owner who has gone through the design review process within the past 18 months; and a professional architect or land-use planner who represented an applicant through the process within the past 18 months. The committee will be asked to identify issues, goals and solutions for the design review process, including possible amendments to city code or procedures. Council members asked that the committee first develop a work plan with a timeline. The city will advertise for candidates for at least 10 days. Two council members will serve as liaisons to the committee. Parks suggested Dwight and Councilman Don Mosier, but council members decided to make the appointments when the full council is in attendance. Mayor Al Corti and Mosier were absent from the meeting. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this is a very worthwhile effort,â&#x20AC;? said Councilman Dwight Worden. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I hope all of you who have interest will apply, if you think you can. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d love to be inundated with quality applications and really be able to choose quality, talented, committed people â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and have that balance on this task force that people have talked about.â&#x20AC;?

rienced in 23 years of age,â&#x20AC;? said Coba. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m representing this great organization (Marine Corps) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; this extended family. I love and am happy to represent them.â&#x20AC;? Coba is working hard to graduate with a degree in civil engineering. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to strengthen Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s infrastructure for the future and help out as many communities as possible.â&#x20AC;? Since 1962, 33,000 scholarships valued at nearly $90 million have been awarded to children of Marines and Navy corpsmen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our students are graduating at a rate more than twice the national average â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the 86 percent range. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a good investment,â&#x20AC;? said Davis. Investments in kids like Brown and Coba are not subject to the stock market rise and fall. Passions drive their futures. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These kids donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the meaning of â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;work hard,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; because they are military children. They live hard every day and so they are going on and achieving their dreams,â&#x20AC;? says Davis. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most importantly, they are giving back to America right away. They truly are strengthening our country.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Exceptionalâ&#x20AC;? is what Davis calls this rising generation that the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation helps educate. Brown considers it an honor to be a beneficiary: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to say thank you to the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation for everything.â&#x20AC;? And Coba hopes one day to return the favor to other students and become a donor himself. To find out more about the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation, visit http://www. mcsf.org.

meeting and send the developers back to the community to create a project that works for everyone involved. On Monday, Golden Hall was filled with two hours and 10 minutes of public testimony waiting to be given. One Paseo opponents sported red “No Paseo” T-shirts, and supporters wore shirts that read, “Let the Voters Decide.” Lightner last week said that she did not want to see the project go to a vote because of the cost. According to City Clerk Liz Maland, to put the item on the June 7 agenda will cost the city $814,000 to $815,000. If a special election is called for the item, it would cost $4 million to $4.5 million. During public comment, several speakers objected to moving the item, arguing that the justification was “vague” and that it was unfair, since nearly 200 people had taken time out of their days to come all the way downtown for the hearing. Lisa Ross, a member of the Del Mar Mesa Community Planning Group, said it was troubling that negotiations are going on behind closed doors. Joe LaCava, chair of the San Diego Community Planners Committee, said further delaying the decision plays into the developer’s hands and that if the council rescinded the decision that day, the developers would still have the ability to reach some kind of compromise.

“A request for continuance is unconscionable,” said Nancy Novak, a former member of the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board. “The appropriate time would’ve been at the last City Council meeting, when the voice of the people was not heard.” Councilmember Todd Gloria said while the brewing compromise sounded promising, the issue of average daily trips was not the only issue raised by project opponents, citing density and building height, specifically. Gloria asked Donahue Schriber if they were against any retail being built on the neighboring site. “No, never have been and never will be,” answered Pat Donahue, chairman and chief executive officer of Donahue Schriber. “We have no problem with the good folks at Kilroy putting as much retail as they want on the property. Our problem has been with the number of trips that the proposed One Paseo creates … we don’t believe that the area can handle the traffic.” Gloria said while a compromise would be ideal, his only concern is that it is between two developers and not with the community. “This is all an illustration of the absurdity of the referendum process,” Gloria said. “It absolutely needs reform.”

RVs

public parking lots between 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. They must also be parked at least 50 feet from an intersection. Vehicles less than 22 feet long and 7 feet high are exempt from the new rules. Residents with vehicles that require permits may obtain them by applying online. The city must respond within eight hours of receipt of an application. Staff is also researching software programs that would allow self-issue permits. Admitting she’s “gone back and forth” on the issue, Councilwoman Ginger Marshall voted against the modified ordinance. Recently, she saw a bus-turned-RV parked in front of her neighbor’s house. The “unattractive” vehicle made her realize she could stand the sight for 24 hours, but not for a week. “It just reminded me of a bad episode

of ‘Breaking Bad,’” she said with a laugh. “My feeling is that RVs belong in RV parks. That’s why we have RV parks.” The proposed ordinance had originally said permits would be issued for up to seven days a month, but the council agreed to reduce that number to five days a month after listening to Marshall’s concerns. Voting in favor of the modified ordinance, other council members viewed the new rules as a way to track those in violation of the city’s ordinance. “The intent here is to reduce the issues that are had today,” said Deputy Mayor David Zito. “I’d encourage us to do something. We can always amend the ordinance later if it isn’t accomplishing its desired objectives.” Mayor Lesa Heebner was absent from the meeting.

manager at a Starbucks who then interned for Roberts, as his driver. County policy prohibits people who receive a car allowance from using other forms of transportation that cost the county money; Meza is paid $47,000 per year and uses a county car to ferry the supervisor to meetings across the county and beyond. Porter alleges that Roberts and Meza had an improper relationship, and emails and other documents show that the two stayed in the same hotel room when they traveled together. Roberts’ new chief of staff said the supervisor complied with county policies, and that Meza had more responsibilities than just driving Roberts. Roberts previously said that Porter’s claim contain “inaccuracies,” and Gartner said the supervisor can’t say much about the allegations because of the potential for a lawsuit. “Because of any potential litigation, Supervisor Roberts is limited in how he can respond directly to the false allegations about him and his character,” Gartner said.

Earl Warren seventh-graders Bike-riding memoir revolves around rise to philanthropic challenge Californian’s quest for life purpose BY KRISTINA HOUCK Earl Warren Middle School students were recently challenged with something much bigger than a pop quiz. As part of a class assignment, social sciences teacher Connor Nesseler asked his seventh-grade humanities students to raise money and donate it to a good cause. “We were given a project in which we tried to make a difference in society,” said Mazen Idriss. “Since everybody in our group has had a cancer occurrence in their family, we chose the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society,” added Max Kornbluth. “We wanted to help a disease that affects kids our age, and leukemia is the most common cancer for kids.” A bake sale was one of the ways the students raised By the end of the projmoney for a good cause after being challenged by a ect, Max, Mazen and their teacher. teammates — Zack Borthwick, Némo Leonelli and Finn Mallery — donated more than $800 to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. They raised the money by holding a bake sale and a three-on-three soccer tournament. “We all love soccer, so we chose something we’d have fun doing,” Mazen said. The 13-year-olds raised $427 from the bake sale and $376 from the soccer tournament for a combined total of $803. They also collected and donated gently used children’s books for leukemia patients. The boys personally presented their donation to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society on May 8. “It felt good to give it to a worthy cause,” Max said. “I think the boys learned a lot about picking a cause that’s important to them, having a good reason and a motivation for why they want to make a difference, and deciding how they wanted to make that difference,” said Max’s mother, Angela Hill. “I think it helped them see the world differently and appreciate what they have and how lucky they are to be healthy.”

BY DIANE Y. WELCH In 2002, Jamie Bianchini headed for Tokyo to embark on a quest that took him eight years — traveling through 81 countries — to complete. While that in itself was a feat of some magnitude, Bianchini traversed the globe on a customized tandem bicycle, inviting more than 1,000 strangers to jump on and join him on part of his journey. His adventure has now been documented in a published memoir, “A Bicycle Built for Two Billion — One Man’s Adventure Around the World in Search of Love, Compassion and Connection,” released in April. Bianchini gave a multimedia presentation, book signing and wine tasting at 2PlankVineyards corporate headquarters in San Diego on May 7, as part of a 38-state book tour that will take the Bianchini family six months to complete. California was the kick-off state, with Bianchini giving his first presentation in his home town of Santa Cruz. His book retells his despair in 1999, when failure in his business and relationships left him helpless, crying and questioning his life’s direction. “It was soon after that the inspiration came that I needed to follow my heart and try to make a difference in the world,” said Bianchini. It took 2 1/2 years to plan the tour with his best friend, Garryck Hampton, who a year into the journey had a near-fatal accident and had to return home. Bianchini continued the tour alone, which was not expected to take eight years. “The world’s a big place,” he joked. “And there were a lot of ups and downs, which made it challenging.” Despite the adversities — which included Bianchini contracting malaria, his bike being stolen twice and the inevitable flat tires — he continued to pedal, and in his

quest to make a difference, facilitated donations of 100 bikes to the poor township of Cape Town, South Africa; helped disperse life-saving malaria medication to small African communities; started a school for AIDS orphans in Uganda; and brought fresh water to a community in Bolivia. His mom, Carol Fabian, was firmly behind Bianchini’s odyssey. “She supported me in the ups and downs, she believed in me and I wanted to include her in the journey,” Bianchini said. Fabian met her son in India. “I learned to sit on the floor and eat with my hands, wear burgundy robes and pay with beads,” she recalled. “I really enjoyed the simplicity of the Indian people.” She rode with him for a whole month in Africa, not on the tandem, but on her own bike. “We met in Nairobi and biked up to Kampala in Uganda, almost 500 miles, then shot the rapids of the Nile River,” said Fabian. “Jamie inspires me to do things beyond what I can imagine. That’s always the way it has been.” Bianchini didn’t imagine that he would meet his wife on his journey. “I was really struggling on part of the ride. I almost quit when I was in Argentina. But I decided not to. I needed to stay true to my heart, and as soon as I recommitted to my cause was when I picked Cristina up on the bike.” She rode for 17 kilometers on the tandem and “ended up staying basically for the rest of my life,” Bianchini quipped. In Columbia, the couple had a son, Luca, now a 4-year-old. They married and also have a 2-year-old daughter, Candela. Bianchini self-filmed his adventure with a video camera and tripod. “I would stop the bike, run up a hill, set the camera up, run back down the hill, ride the bike through the frame, then run back to the camera to stop the shoot and continue on See BIKE, page B27

‘Come From Away’ musical celebrates international sleep-over spurred by 9/11

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DIANA SAENGER In the spirit of theatrical productions based on true-life events, La Jolla Playhouse is staging “Come from Away,” a rock-infused musical, directed by its artistic director Christopher Ashley. Recognizing good material when they see it, Canadian husband-and-wife writing team Irene Sankoff and David Hein (book, music, lyrics) tell the tale of what happened in the isolated town of Gander, Newfoundland, in 2001. Describing the genesis of the play, Hein said, “The 10-year anniversary of 9/11 was coming up, and (through research) we discovered that during the crisis, numerous passengers and pilots from 38 planes were forced to land in Newfoundland. They gathered with the people who lived in Gander, made friends and stayed for a while. The experience changed lives, and in 2011, people returned to Newfoundland to commemorate what had happened

and to reconnect with the people they had met!” Funded by a grant, Hein and Sankoff traveled to Gander for a month in 2011 to meet hundreds of people willing to share their experiences. “The town was full with press who only wanted fivesecond soundbites,” Hein said. “We wanted to hear their entire stories. We came back with a lot of great tales and new friends from all over the world.” The couple then holed up in a cabin and began studying their research and hundreds of hours of interviews to begin the book, lyrics and music for “Come From Away.” “Irene and I write everything together,” Hein said. “We started working together when Irene was an actress and I was a singersongwriter. I grew up with a love of music and listening to East Coast Celtic music. We have a variety of instruments — a bodhran, accordions, fiddles, guitars — in our house, but at heart we

Irene Sankoff and David Hein wrote the musical “Come From Away,” which will have its world premiere at La Jolla Playhouse from May 29-July 5. Photo by Alixandra Gould are guitar-based musicians. Being married and doing everything together, we can work 24/7, but initially, we were working so much that we barely saw each other. “To spend time together, we developed our first show, ‘My Mother’s Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding.’ It took off, and now writing music and lyrics is our day job.” The couple’s goal for “Come From Away” is to introduce audiences to the world of Newfoundlanders. “The musical is based on inviting neighbors, family and friends into one’s house and gathering at the kitchen, where everyone pulls out an instrument,” Hein said. “People dance and sing, and it’s fun and accessible. The kind of music we’ve written has been out there for generations in England and Ireland, yet somehow when you put it in a musical theater context, it’s fresh, new and interesting.” Sankoff added that because the music is fun and invit-

ing, “we knew this story could be a musical.” Hein pointed out that there are hundreds of characters in the show “like many we met in Newfoundland. Our 12-person cast turns on a dime to go from local to around the world — England, Texas, California or Africa.” The element of wanting to unite different nationalities in the play mirrors efforts occurring in the world. “We were truly inspired by all the stories we heard,” Hein said. “We laughed with them, we cried with them, we hope to pass on the same feelings we experienced to bring Newfoundland, on the northeast coast of North America, to San Diego.” Sankoff added that she hopes audience members sing some of the songs and are moved by the story, because “a lot of people have not heard about this event.” “Come From Away” runs matinees, evenings May 29July 5 at La Jolla Playhouse’s Potiker Theatre, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive, UCSD campus. Tickets from $66; call 858-5501010 or visit lajollaplayhouse.org.

Carmel Creek reunion to be held June 10 for Class of 2015 High school seniors who once attended Carmel Creek Elementary are invited to a casual reunion at the school from 3-4 p.m. June 10. The highlight of this event will be when students and teachers get in a big circle. The students will share a favorite memory and what their future plans are, and the teachers, along with Principal Terri Davis, will share stories and words of encouragement to the students as they begin this next stage in life.

Painter eventually follows his heart from finance to fine art • Work now also available at Leaping Lotus in Solana Beach BY DIANE Y. WELCH The color-drenched work of fine artist and entrepreneur RD (Randy David) Riccoboni is now available at Leaping Lotus on South Cedros Avenue in Solana Beach. The location represents the third for Riccoboni, whose work is also available at his Beacon Artwork Gallery in Old Town and at his studio salon on Fifth Avenue near Balboa Park. Riccoboni’s signature paintings visually tell the story of the old and the new San Diego, recreating “the places where we live and places that we love that “The Art Traveler Guide: A are historically significant,” he said. “And it turns out that all Portrait of Balboa Park” RD Riccoboni the places that I love to paint, was created with Save Our the people love also, which is a Heritage Organisation. good thing business-wise.” This business approach to his art is no accident. Riccoboni built a career in banking before he devoted his life to his passion of painting. His road into the world of finance was circuitous. Born in central California in 1960, Riccoboni moved to Long Beach as a toddler. When he was 3 years old, his family moved east to Connecticut, relocating to his father’s roots, where they lived in a Victorian home that his grandfather had built in 1902. His innate artistic talent showed itself early. At age 4, he discovered his mother’s paintby-numbers set and experimented with it. Gifts of paper, pens and colored pencils soon followed, “to keep me away from the walls,” joked Riccoboni, who added, “I’ve never stopped painting since.” Riccoboni had no formal art training; but as a teenager, he was offered a scholarship to New York’s Parsons School of Design. His high school art teacher advised him to learn the business of art rather than enter a program likely to stifle his artistic style. That led Riccoboni into banking and human resources, learning about money and people.

Seascape at Black’s Beach, La Jolla, by RD Riccoboni. Courtesy photos Over a five-year period, Riccoboni worked in banking in Long Beach, where there were still family ties. He was a “young gay man and wanted to follow his dreams,” he said. However, his move West coincided with the start of the AIDS crisis, and Riccoboni witnessed firsthand friends dying from the disease. Depressed at the loss, Riccoboni moved back to Connecticut, where charities were being established in the 1980s to help fund the race for the AIDS cure. The idea struck Riccoboni that he could offer his paintings as charity fundraisers. “I knew strongly that I had to do something with my art,” he recalled, “and this was an opportunity to make a difference.” There was an artist call for an AIDS project in West Hartford. “I entered three pieces, one got best in show and the other two got honorable mentions,” said Riccoboni. It was the start of his donating to charity. Riccoboni went back to California in 1993, where a show at TriCity Medical Center and See PAINTER, page B27

Choice Superfood Bar & Juicery offers healthier choices for Solana Beach BY KRISTINA HOUCK Solana Beach has a new restaurant in town to help residents make healthier choices. Nearly a year after the launch of its original location in Carlsbad, Choice Superfood Bar & Juicery recently opened its second site in Solana Beach’s Boardwalk shopping center. “We’re bringing something new and different,” said owner Nastasha McKeon. From smoothies to sushi and everything in between, every item on Choice’s menu is gluten free, dairy free and plantbased. Food and drinks are served sustainably, too. Cold-pressed drinks come in glass jars that customers can return for store credit. Smoothies are served in cups that look plastic, but are actually made out of vegetable fibers. The shop also uses only reusable bags. “Everything we do, from our food to our packaging, all has sustainability in mind,” McKeon said. “We just want to do our part in paving the way for other companies to follow suit and make more sustainable choices.” A San Diego native, McKeon has been a vegan for many years. Her lifestyle choices guided her education and career choices. She earned a certification in clinical and holistic nutrition from the Natural Healing Institute in Encinitas and a certification in plant-based nutrition from Cornell University in New York. McKeon previously worked as a nutritional consultant for local businesses and organizations, including Scripps Health’s Employee Wellness Program. She has also helped local restaurants implement plantbased menus. “It became my mission to teach people how to make healthy food taste good, but I could only reach so many people,” she ex-

plained. “I decided to open something that had healthy food that tastes great and is convenient so people could make better choices. Here I am, less than a year later with two stores.” Last June, McKeon opened Choice in Carlsbad. Located on Carlsbad Village Drive, the shop operates out of a shipping container turned juice bar. With a growing demand for healthier options elsewhere in North County, McKeon opened her second shop April 6 in Solana Beach. “Everyone is supportive and loves what we do, but Carlsbad is a little far away for some of our customers,” McKeon said. “Coming to Solana Beach just made a lot of sense.” McKeon plans to further open up the roughly 850-square-foot shop by transforming the storefront window into a roll-up garage window with bar seating. Choice has already created a laid-back, coastal vibe with music and free WiFi for customers. “We just want to create a cool place to hang out,” she said. Using organic ingredients, McKeon created the menu, which includes milks, juices, smoothies, smoothie bowls, salads, sushi and snacks. One of Choice’s most popular items is the PB&J Smoothie, which was recently named “Best Smoothie” by San Diego Magazine. The blended drink includes homemade vanilla almond milk, protein, peanut butter powder, raspberry chia jam, banana, date and ice. In addition to its menu, Choice offers one-day and three-day cleanses, where customers can pick up a package equipped with one salad, four cold-pressed juices, almond milk and water per day. Customers can sign up in the store or online and pick up their package daily. “Most people don’t realize they feel See SUPERFOOD, page B27

Fair Trade Décor hosting poetry event to raise funds for Nepal; submissions welcome Fair Trade Décor, a Del Mar retail store dedicated to fair trade principles, will hold “Compassion in Action,” a poetry reading, at 7 p.m. June 20 to raise much-needed funds for immediate relief and ongoing support for the people of Nepal. The 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Nepal on April 25, and a second quake that hit May 12, have devastated the country. Hundreds of thousands of people will need food, water, shelter and medication far beyond the immediate rescue and recovery period. “Compassion in Action” is an opportunity for San Diego-area poets to share their poems of compassion, unity, love and nature. Those who want to participate in the reading should submit entries at epp@fairtradedecor.com by June 1. Poems can be original or written by other authors. Submissions should match the theme of the event. All entries for this prearranged, themed poetry reading will be reviewed for approval. Ganesh Himal Trading Company, one of Fair Trade Décor’s many global partners who has worked exclusively with artisans in Nepal for 30 years, is soliciting donations for the relief effort. Before the quake, Ganesh Himal built a health clinic for the village of Baser, which is near the epicenter. The clinic has served a large number of remote villages in the area and eventually will be rebuilt. However, during the earthquake, the village was destroyed, and emergency relief is the highest priority at this time. At “Compassion in Action,” donations may be made directly to Conscious Connections Foundation, a registered 501(c)3, with which Ganesh Himal has worked closely. Fair Trade Décor will donate the $5 admission fee and all profits from items purchased on event night to the relief effort. All contributions and the admission fee are tax deductible and 100 percent of the funds go directly to the Nepal relief effort. The store is at 1412 Camino del Mar, Del Mar. Call 858-461-1263.

North San Diego County high school filmmakers are invited to enter the 3rd Annual La Costa Film Festival. The three-day festival hosted, by the world renowned Omni La Costa Resort and Spa, will take place Sept. 10-13 and will feature an impressive lineup of narrative and documentary features and short films. The winning student-produced film will premiere at this year’s festival with a cash prize of $1,000, split 80/20 between the school’s film department and the student. High school filmmakers may submit a short film by June 15. Films must be produced, directed, written and shot by students. Students must submit a valid student ID with their submission and can upload their entry via www.FilmFreeway.com. “This is an amazing opportunity for students to participate in a local cultural event. We are dedicated to inspiring local student filmmakers and, along with the recognition that the winner will receive, we are also offering a student workshop just for student filmmakers that will take place at the Omni La Costa Resort on July 9 and 10,” stated festival founders Mike and Ruby Callihan. The winner of last year’s student competition was “Sofia,” a short film co-directed by Canyon Crest Academy students Jason Lee Phillips and Brandon Chase. The annual La Costa Film Festival showcases some of the most engaging international documentaries, narrative features and short films of the past year and presents them in a variety of unique local venues, including an outdoor screen on the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa grounds, the La Costa Cinepolis Theatres and the Ruby G. Shulman Theater at the Carlsbad Dove Library. Visit www.lacostafilmfestival.org.

Deadly local plane crash basis for local author’s novella/short story collection •A uthor Bonnie ZoBell to appear at Del Mar Library May 27 BY KRISTINA HOUCK To Bonnie ZoBell, North Park is home. It’s also the site of the deadliest plane crash in California history. With her house just feet away from the site, it’s no wonder the tragic history of the neighborhood serves as the backdrop of ZoBell’s “What Happened Here,” a linked novella and story collection. Although the 1978 crash is history, its legacy seeps in the stories of her cast of characters. “The stories are linked because they’re all in the same North Park neighborhood and they all have a little bit to do with the crash,” ZoBell said. Although ZoBell grew up in Del Mar, her connection to the crash isn’t new. She lived in North Park when the midair collision between a single-engine Cessna and a Boeing 727 airliner occurred Sept. 25, 1978. A total of 144 people died, including the 135 passengers and crew on the jet, two passengers on the private plane and seven people on the ground. “I remember I was going to school in the morning and I came out and the whole sky was just filled with black smoke,” recalled ZoBell, who at the time, was studying at San Diego State University. “I found out what had happened. It was pretty shocking.” ZoBell went on to earn a bachelor’s in English at SDSU and a MFA at Columbia University. She has since taught at San Diego Mesa College for 30 years, where she currently serves as the creative writing coordinator, and previously published a pamphlet called, “The Whack-Job Girls.” But ZoBell has never forgotten the crash. In fact, her interest in the incident led to her first full collection of stories.

‘Secrets of the Pacific Trail’ May 30 at SB Library Local hiking enthusiast Dana Law will share his adventures and advice for hiking the legendary Pacific Crest Trail in “Secrets of the Pacific Trail” at 2 p.m. May 30 at the Solana Beach Library. The trail starts in San Diego County at the Mexican border near Campo, and continues through the greatest elevation changes of any of America’s National Scenic Trails before eventually reaching Canada. Each year, about 500 people attempt to hike the entire trail, and thousands hike sections of it, some with the goal of eventually covering all 2,650 miles. That’s Law’s ambition.

SPONSORED COLUMNS MICHAEL PINES Accident & Injury Legal Advice 858.551.2090

The Loss of Work in the Aftermath OF Traumatic Brain Injury Traumatic brain injuries (TBIs) affect every facet of life, from memory to physical ability to performing every day functions like speaking and eating. Unfortunately, it goes without saying that TBIs are one of the most catastrophic forms of injury. And when it comes to recovery, restoring full brain function is often rare. In this sense, returning to work after a traumatic brain injury is generally difﬁcult, if not impossible.

In a recent report, we learn of one woman’s struggle with traumatic brain injury after she fell backward in a snow storm, landing head ﬁrst onto icy pavement. “My feet went out from under me and my head just hit the pavement,” said Carey Gelfand, a Glencoe, Ill. resident who said she was on a business trip in New York when the accident occurred. Although she brushed off the accident at ﬁrst, a cognitive fog soon developed. Once she returned home, she began forgetting crucial details and lost the ability to focus at work. Exhaustion overtook her body and she was often plagued with debilitating headaches. “My boss [wanted] to take jobs away from me. I was very diminished in my position. I was just so frustrated and I had such poor sense of self,” said Gelfand. Although most TBIs occur as a result of car accidents, some may occur in the most unfortunate and yet ordinary ways such as a

trip or fall. Seeking medical attention as soon as a TBI is suspected is essential when it comes to recovery and possible prevention of further injury. “It is important after a brain injury see a neurologist who can administer the proper tests,” the article noted. “Not doing so means it could be weeks or years before the injury is diagnosed.” Gelfland said her job suffered considerably in wake of her TBI. Though she did not lose her job, she struggled to keep up with demands. Fortunately, she is able to talk about her experience, striving to create awareness for this surprisingly prevalent injury (TBIs affect at least 1.5 million Americans each year). Although Gelfland has maintained her work, most people are not as fortunate. One small study found that low income and unemployment were quite common in the aftermath of a traumatic brain injury, leading many into difficult financial positions.

There is one bright aspect: psychologists, doctors and other healthcare practitioners are working together to increase head injury awareness. “I think we are in... one of those ‘ah ha!’ [moments]. We know better now,” said Chicago-based psychologist Morgan Wolin. “But, if we know better, will we do better? Will human resources say, ‘Okay concussions are a real thing, let’s take it more seriously?’” As for employee accommodation, most human resource (HR) departments are willing to accommodate individuals with TBIs. For the most seamless transition, employees affected by traumatic brain injury are urged to work with their employers and HR departments to ﬁnd a reasonable solution.

Solana Ranch students have fun with history on ‘Colonial Day’ Solana Ranch School recently held a “Colonial Day,” where fifth-grade students had the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities to bring history alive. Students made Johnny Cakes, churned butter, played Colonial games, did metalworking, and participated in a performance that had students making presentations on characters that they researched and presented in first person. It was a fun, memorable, and great way to learn what life was like in the late 1700s. Teachers Jojo Piranio, Shiela Cullins, and Nora Guseman facilitated the activities and day with many parent volunteers.

NCL ‘s San Dieguito Chapter Awards Tea celebrates ‘The Spirit of Aloha’ The San Dieguito Chapter of the National Charity League celebrated its 17th Annual Mother-Daughter Awards Tea at the La Jolla Marriott Hotel May 17. Hosted by the Chapter’s Class of 2019, the theme focused on “The Spirit of Aloha” and the true meaning of philanthropy, kindness, grace, charity, and compassion. The annual tea recognizes Chapter Ticktockers and Mother-Daughter teams who have demonstrated their exemplary dedication to philanthropic endeavors. Those honored included Senior Service Award winner Kenadee Cox, Class of 2015, who dedicated 977 hours of service to the community during the last six years and Merci Award winner, Caroline Sanborn, Class of 2017, who gave 449 hours of service this year. Other honorees included numerous young ladies from each class year ranging from 2015 through 2020 who had earned distinguished Ticktocker Service and Leadership awards, such as the Presidential Service, Yellow Rose Bouquet, Heart of Gold, Mission Bell and Hourglass awards, as well as the one Ticktocker from each year selected for the acclaimed Spirit Awards. The tea served as the installation for the Chapter’s 2015-2016 Board of Directors, recognition and thanks to the outgoing 2014-2015 board, and an Aloha welcome to the 2021 incoming class. Also featured were video montages of each year’s Ticktocker class and outgoing President Francine Corgan, and heartfelt messages of gratitude, love and inspiration from the 2015 Senior Class. The National Charity League’s mission is to foster mother-daughter relationships

SUPERIOR COURT OF CALIFORNIA COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO 1409 Fourth Avenue San Diego, CA 92101 Madge Bradley Building Estate of: JOHN MICHAEL TAYLOR, Decedent AMENDED NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: JOHN MICHAEL TAYLOR CASE NUMBER: 37-2014-00022433-PR-PW-CTL To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of JOHN MICHAEL TAYLOR, JOHN TAYLOR. A Petition for Probate has been filed by KIMBERLY TAYLOR KING in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN DIEGO. The petition for Probate requests that KIMBERLY TAYLOR KING be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: June 4, 2015 Time: 1:30 P.M. Dept.: PC-2. Room Address of court: same as noted above. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and

DEL MAR CITY HALL/TOWN HALL PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT REPORT NOTICE OF PREPARATION To: State Clearinghouse, Responsible Agencies, Trustee Agencies, Interested Parties and Organizations From: City of Del Mar, 1050 Camino Del Mar, Del Mar, California 92014 Subject: Notice of Preparation (NOP) of a Draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) and Scoping Meeting for the Proposed Del Mar City Hall/Town Hall Project The City of Del Mar (City) will be the Lead Agency under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) as amended [Public Resources Code, §21000–21178 and California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3 §15000– 15387] and will initiate the preparation of an Environmental Impact Report (EIR) in accordance with CEQA for the proposed City Hall/Town Hall Project (proposed project). This Notice of Preparation (NOP) provides information describing the proposed project and its potential environmental effects. The Draft EIR will describe the project need, goals, and objectives, baseline environmental conditions in the project study area, and the potential environmental effects associated with implementation of the proposed project. The City is requesting input from government agencies, other organizations, and private citizens regarding the scope and content of the environmental information to be included in the Draft EIR. Responsible agencies are requested to indicate their statutory responsibilities in connection with the proposed project. Public agencies receiving this NOP may need to consider the Draft EIR if they need to issue permits or other approvals for the proposed project. Project Background: The City initiated current discussions with the community in June 2013 with a commitment to replace the existing aged City facilities with a more sustainable and suitable City Hall, Town Hall, civic plaza and public parking. A review of the possible locations and assessment of the facility’s special needs were conducted, from which City staff prepared a preliminary civic program, established goals and evaluation criteria, and considered and dismissed other possible joint uses for the site (e.g., commercial and/or residential). Along with many community workshops conducted and a public opinion poll, the City is moving forward with the proposed project. Project Description: The City proposes to upgrade and expand the City’s administration center (City Hall) to accommodate the existing civic functions within an approximately 9,250-square-foot City Hall facility, an approximate 3,200-square-foot Town Hall meeting room that can accommodate up to 150 persons, an approximately 15,000-square-foot outdoor public plaza, and parking for up to 160 parking spaces. Among the uses proposed within the initial phase of the City Hall development would be the offices, public counters, conference rooms, and restrooms. The Town Hall would accommodate the City Council chambers, community meeting space, and Del Mar TV studio and network offices. Also included in the project is a future expansion area for added on-site facilities (up to an additional 20,000 square feet). This expansion area is not yet defined for specific use, other than possible expansion of planned City Hall, Town Hall, or plaza or other uses to support public facilities as consistent with the City’s Zoning Ordinance. During construction the City operations that currently exist on-site, including the City Hall public functions and City Council and other committee hearings, will be relocated. The options for the temporary relocation will also be analyzed in the EIR. Project Location: The proposed project is located on the present site of the City of Del Mar administration center (Assessor Parcel Numbers 300-093-02 and 300-093-03), occupying the approximately 1.5-acre eastern half of the City block bounded by Stratford Court to the west, 10th Street to the south, 11th Street to the north, and fronting Camino del Mar to the east (See attached Figures 1 and 2). The City Hall site consists of a building on the corner of Camino del Mar and 11th Street, a small building near 10th Street, two trailers, and a split-level parking lot. Surrounding area land use is a combination of mixed use and commercial along the Camino del Mar corridor and residential developments immediately beyond that corridor and adjacent to the project site to the west. Two vacant lots and a small boutique hotel are located immediately south of the project site. Public Review Period: The City has determined to make this NOP available for public review and comment pursuant to California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Section 15082(b). The comment period for the NOP begins on May 21, 2015 and ends June 22, 2015. An Initial Study Checklist has been completed to determine the probable environmental effects and to identify those areas where further technical analysis is required for the EIR. Those subject areas that will be analyzed further in the Draft EIR are Land Use, Planning and Visual Quality; Air Quality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions; Cultural and Historic Resources; Noise and Vibration; and Circulation, Access and Parking. A copy of the Initial Study Checklist can be viewed at the City offices or online at: www.delmar.ca.us/ CEQAnotices Responses and Comments: Please submit your written comments as to the scope and content of the forthcoming Draft EIR no later than June 22, 2015 at 4:30 p.m. You may send your responses and comments to Joseph Smith – City of Del Mar, 1050 Camino del Mar, Del Mar, California 92014 or by e-mail to jsmith@delmar.ca.us. Public Scoping Meeting: The City will hold a public scoping meeting on Monday, June 1, 2015 at 5:00 p.m. in front of the Del Mar City Hall (upper level), 1050 Camino del Mar, Del Mar, California. You are welcome to attend and present environmental information you believe should be addressed in the EIR. NOP 6.1.15. DM1379. 5.21.15

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-573-1965 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-14-641466-RY . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on

your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations. QUALITY MAY BE CONSIDERED A DEBT COLLECTOR ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT AND ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

Puppy Prom at Helen Woodward Center a howling success

The Kitchen Shrink

Helen Woodward Animal Center would like thank all who attended the third annual Puppy Prom. It was an amazing event and continues to grow each year! Kings and queens were crowned; doggies danced under the disco ball; prom photos were snapped; paper corsages were created; puppy prom pup-cakes were devoured; and most important, HWAC alumni (puppies and people alike) had a wonderful time! A special congratulations to 2015’s Puppy Prom King, Bengi, and Puppy Prom Queen, Paisly Ann. A highlight was seeing Mabel (Class of 2012) dressed up as Maggie Smith from “Downton Abbey.” The entire event brings joy to the Helen Woodward Animal Center staff, which dreams of wonderful futures for each and every orphan pet. They hope that all HWAC alumni return to celebrate at next year’s event and show off their beautiful new lives!

KITCHEN SHRINK CATHARINE KAUFMAN Every season is blessed with an agrarian rock star — fall’s bounty of gourds, winter’s hearty roots, summer’s fresh berries and watermelon, and spring’s green peas and shoots, bursting with sweet grassy flavors from the garden patch. As your body regenerates during springtime, peas will help nourish your cells and invigorate your spirit. More than two peas in a pod Peas have been cultivated for thousands of years, filtering from ancient Greece and Rome to Europe, India and China, then eventually to the Americas, with Christopher Columbus one of the pioneer pea planters of the New World. A valuable staple throughout Europe, peas were dried and stored, then enjoyed in soups and stews during severe winter months when food supplies were sparse. While there are several varieties and variations of peas, for the purposes of the armchair gardener, the three main types of this legume are garden (English, Green or Standard Peas), snap peas and snow peas. The garden variety has an inedible pod with sweet, fully developed peas inside. The peas are shelled, discarding the tough, stringy pod. Both snap and snow peas, on the other hand, have low-fiber pods, making them tender and chewable. Snap peas can be snapped and eaten raw, or cooked with the immature peas inside. Snow peas are harvested with flat, soft pods before the peas inside develop. Add snap peas, standard green peas or snow pea pods to everything from paella, pasta dishes, risotto and fried rice to soups, salads, stir-fries and guacamole for a vibrant green color, and sweet grassy edge. Shoot the breeze Delicate pea shoots snipped from immature plants, usually the snow or

sugar snap pea varieties, have the sweet essence of the legume with decorative soft leaves and curly tendrils, along with the odd bud or blossom, to add flavor, crunchy texture and eye candy to various dishes. Dial up burgers, sandwiches, bruschetta, frittatas, pizzas, crab cakes, seafood or wilted green salads, and smoked salmon platters, in addition to refreshing whistle-wetters like peatinis, pea shooters and chilled soups. Asian or farmers markets are likely to sell these darlings, but don’t wait until the end of the growing season, as they turn bitter. It’s hard to believe that these fine shoots have been enlivening spring tables only for two decades, a relative newbie in the horticultural timeline — rooted out in the early 1990s — and have since been much appreciated for their many culinary uses. When selecting shoots, look for fresh, firm, emeraldgreen leaves that are not wilted or discolored. Handle with care and wrap the dainty shoots in a paper towel, store in a plastic bag, and use them within a couple of days. Pea power Fresh peas and their shoots are a rich store of phytonutrients, immune-boosting antioxidants, vitamins and minerals. These mighty legumes and tender tendrils are packed with protein and fiber, folic acid to rejuvenate and maintain the body’s cells, along with other B-complex vitamins to put the skids on stress, fatigue and throbbing migraines. There’s more. The load of vitamin C wards off infections and scavenges for harmful free radicals; phytosterols lower cholesterol levels, vitamin K ramps-up bone mass to foil osteoporosis, vitamin A sharpens eyesight and maintains healthy skin, while a supply of vital minerals, including calcium, iron, copper and zinc, gives an added boost of well-being. Pod cast Sugar snap peas, late bloomers, were not developed until 1979. Sugar snap and snow peas have pod fibers that run in one direction, making them edible, not stringy and tough. Ninety-five percent of peas grown are sold canned, frozen or dried, while only 5 percent are fresh, so pick them now when they’re good and plentiful. After harvest, peas should not be kept at room temperature, as half the sugar content will convert to starch within six hours.

STIR-FRIED PEA SHOOTS WITH GINGER AND GARLIC 1 pound pea shoots 2 tablespoons sesame oil 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar Sea salt 1/2 inch fresh ginger, shredded 3 garlic cloves, minced 3 tablespoons mushroom or vegetable broth Sesame seeds Rinse pea shoots with cold water; pat dry.

my way.” Adventures included a ride to a Japanese teahouse, a Fijian Christmas, an encounter with militant Zimbabwean police officers, soaking up the breathtaking scenery of the Alps and feeling the groove of a Brazilian Carnaval along with a multicultural cast of co-pedalers. The book tour, titled “Courage to Connect,” represents the family’s intention. “We are not out there to make a million dollars — we want to get our message out,” said Bianchini. That message is an inspirational one that he hopes will give people a fresh perspective on humankind so they can “learn to live big and give big.” Find more information on the Family Book Tour and the charity projects it supports at www.aBicycleBuiltForTwoBillion.com.

exhibitions in Los Angeles brought his work into the public eye. However, donating original art pieces to help raise funds for charitable organizations proved to be a financial drain. “Someone suggested I donate signed prints, instead,” Riccoboni said. “And that’s how I got into the printmaking part of my business.” Riccoboni is prolific. “I paint everything from Oceanside to Coronado to the mountains down to all our favorite beaches and our architectural treasures,” he said. “It’s important for me to have an upbeat look at life, and I portray this in my color palette,” he said. This approach has helped his work to become instantly recognizable, creating a faithful collector base. A fan of architecture, Riccoboni creates drawings and paintings of historical buildings and landscapes. Notably, he has recently produced a richly illustrated booklet on historical Balboa Park. “The Art Traveler Guide: A Portrait of Balboa Park” was created in partnership with Save Our Heritage Organisation, and captures Balboa Park’s buildings, gardens, arcades and fountains in Riccoboni’s distinctive expressionistic style. The booklet, along with his signed giclée prints, are available at Beacon Artworks Boutique on the upper level in Leaping Lotus Merchant Shops, 240 S. Cedros Ave., Solana Beach.

Business group hosts May 28 breakfast to discuss impact of shareholder activists Corporate Directors Forum is holding an open breakfast to discuss “Shareholder Activists: Coming to a Boardroom Near You — Building Your Playbook.” The breakfast will take place from 7-9 a.m. May 28 at the San Diego Marriott La Jolla. While most assume that shareholder activists only go after the big targets, 74 percent of activist campaigns waged in 2014 were at small-cap companies. With estimates of $200 billion in the collective activists’ funds, clearly it is now a full-blown industry of its own — and not going anywhere. The panel will discuss what strategies management and boards should implement in the event of a shareholder incursion. Speakers will offer perspectives on what activists are looking for, and how they managed their arrival and worked through the process. Panelists include: • Kieran Gallahue, former chairman & CEO, Carefusion, Inc.; director, Edwards Lifesciences Corporation and more • Lesley Howe, director, Nuvasive, Inc.; Jamba, Inc.; Volcano Corp. and more • Robert Zivnuska, principal, CamberView Partners, LLC “These days, no company is immune from shareholder activists, with small caps particularly vulnerable,” said Linda Sweeney, executive director of Corporate Directors Forum. “Staying off the radar is best, so boards must work to see the company objectively, delving pre-emptively to identify vulnerabilities. “This event will provide proactive strategies for board members to prepare in advance of ‘the call,’ ideally, one they will never get.” To learn more and reserve for the breakfast, call 858-455-7930 or visit DirectorsForum. com.
