Kaaboo organizers lay out their plan before DM Council, residents BY KRISTINA HOUCK Continuing their effort to address community concerns about a three-day music festival in September at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, Kaaboo organizers recently gave a presentation to Del Mar council members and citizens. Event organizers have already given presentations

to the 22nd District Agricultural Association Board, which governs the stateowned facility, the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board and the Solana Beach City Council. “We understand how beautiful your community is,” said Julie Coleman, of Denver-based The Madison Companies, LLC, owner of

HorsePower Entertainment, the company that is producing Kaaboo. “We want to do the best we can to make sure we address the community concerns to make sure Kaaboo is successful as well as the impacts to Del Mar are mitigated.” Described on the event website as a “mix-perience,” the festival will feature more

Drought-response meeting draws hundreds in Solana Beach BY JOE TASH A standing-room-only crowd of about 500 people turned out Tuesday, June 23, for a town hall meeting put on by the Santa Fe Irrigation District, as officials sought to answer residents’ questions about the district’s imposition of steep, mandatory cuts to water use, which carry hefty fines and penalties for violations. The district’s territory includes large estates in Rancho Santa Fe and Fairbanks Ranch, as well as smaller parcels in Solana Beach, and its service area includes about 19,400 residents. The mood at Tuesday’s town hall at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club was generally polite, although applause broke out several times after questions and comments from audience members, regarding such topics as why small-lot owners in Solana Beach are facing the same cuts as the owners of larger Rancho Santa Fe properties, and why recycled water is not available for homeowners. Audience members also asked why San Diego County is facing draconian cuts when officials have stated repeatedly that the region is not facing a water supply shortage this year. See DROUGHT, page 22

San Dieguito district board approves 2015-16 budget, accountability plan BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District board adopted its Local Control Accountability Plan and 2015-16 budget at its June 16 meeting. In the next school year, the district’s funding will transition from Basic Aid to the Local Control Funding Formula and is expected to see a 3 percent increase in property taxes and an increase in state

funding as well as one-time discretionary state funding. The budget projects revenues of $92 million with $87 million in expenditures and $21 million in reserves. The budget was approved in a 4-1 vote with trustee Mo Muir opposed. Muir said she still wants more counselors and lower class sizes and she has not seen that represented in the budget. She also still has

concerns about the new associate superintendent position given to Jason Viloria (formerly the executive director of educational services) and what she believes to be a $30,000 increase in salary. Superintendent Rick Schmitt reiterated that the new position and salary increase is cost- neutral because of the re-organization of the educational services

department, which results in one less position and a $35,000 savings to the taxpayers. Viloria’s salary will increase from $144,772 to $162,265 as he moves to the new position. Muir maintained that she does not believe it to be cost-neutral. The Local Control Accountability Plan, a requirement of all school districts as a result of the Local Con-

trol Funding Formula, accounts for how the district will spend allocated funding from the state for the next three years. The plan must describe the annual goals for students and call out details for students designated as the most at-risk in California, such as low-income Englishlearners and foster youth.

Annual Heal the Bay Report Card ranks local beaches BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Not all news about the state’s drought is bad, with a report released June 17 citing the lack of rainfall as a major contributor to improved water quality at California beaches, although the beach at Mission Bay Park’s Visitor Center was rated as among the 10 most-polluted in the state. The environmental group Heal the Bay’s latest Beach Report Card, which assigns letter grades to beaches based on water quality, found that the lack of storm runoff pouring into the ocean actually helped keep pollution down. In San Diego County, 96 percent of the area’s 72 beaches received A or B grades for water quality from April through October 2014, down 2 percent from the average of the past five years. The beach in front of the Visitors Center, on the eastern shore, was the first Mission Beach location listed as a “Beach Bummer” in five years, when the north cove of Vacation Island was included. On the other hand, five San Diego beaches landed on the group’s “Honor Roll” for earning A+ grades — San Elijo State Beach and Cardiff State Beach in front of the Chart House restaurant, both in Encinitas, the Ocean Beach Pier, Point Loma Lighthouse and Silver Strand in Coronado. Heal the Bay’s report gave letter grades to beaches up and down the West Coast in three categories, the dry season from April

Deadline looming in Dave Roberts cases

to October, dry periods from November through March, and during wet weather. Locations that received F grades were the Cottonwood Creek Outlet at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, Seascape Surf Beach Park in Solana Beach, the San Diego River outlet at Dog Beach in Ocean Beach, the Imperial Beach Pier, the foot of Cortez Avenue in Imperial Beach, the mouth of the Tijuana River, and beaches at Border Field State Park — all during wet weather. The group gave D grades to Swami’s Beach in Encinitas and three quarters of a mile north of the Tijuana River outlet — also during wet weather. The only dry weather D was given to the San Diego River outlet at Dog Beach. Heal the Bay officials noted that while the dry weather has improved beach water quality, government officials should explore ways to prevent stormwater from ever reaching the ocean and develop projects to capture and reuse rainwater. “In a time of severe drought, it’s madness to send billions of gallons of runoff to pollute the sea when we could be capturing and cleansing that water for daily use,” said Sarah Sikich, vice president of Heal the Bay. “The rains will return, and when they do, we need to capture this valuable resource to maximize our local water supplies and keep polluted water out of our ocean.”

BY JOSHUA STEWART SPECIAL TO THE DEL MAR TIMES, CARMEL VALLEY NEWS, SOLANA BEACH SUN A deadline regarding allegations against the county and Supervisor Dave Roberts is just days away. The Board of Supervisors has until the end of Saturday to settle a claim filed by Diane Porter, Roberts’ former scheduler, or open the door to a lawsuit. Porter is asking for $250,000 in the claim she filed last month. The Board of Supervisors has 45 days since Porter filed her claim to either pay her or make an agreeable counteroffer. If supervisors reject her claim or make no decision, Porter could then file a lawsuit. The county must also make a similar decision in the coming weeks regarding claims from Roberts’ former Chief of Staff Glynnis Vaughan and former policy adviser Lindsey Masukawa. They filed claims on May 21 and June 8, respectively. The three former staffers all allege Roberts misused government resources, offered a raise and promotion to entice an employee to mislead a human resources inquiry, and had an inappropriate relationship with a staff member. Roberts denies the allegations and says he has done nothing wrong. Even if the county does not settle by the deadlines, it might still be able to stave off a lawsuit because parties can still reach an agreement after the 45-day period closes. “Settlement discussions can, and often do, extend after the 45-day window, up to and including trial — sometimes even posttrial,” county spokesman Michael Workman said in a statement. The Board of Supervisors was scheduled

to meet on Tuesday in closed session with county lawyers to discuss “significant exposure to litigation” on three claims. The agenda does not say whether those are the claims by Porter, Vaughan and Masukawa. In closed session, supervisors and county lawyers typically discuss legal strategy and the possibility of making less-expensive counteroffers. Porter asked for $250,000, and Vaughan seeks $475,000. Masukawa did not say exactly how much she wants, but in legal documents she said she’s seeking in excess of $10,000. Supervisors previously decided against paying Roberts’ former staffers. Before Porter and Vaughan resigned from their jobs in April, they asked the county to approve severance packages equal to six months of their salary. For Vaughan, that was $75,000, and $29,000 for Porter. Supervisors denied their request, but later issued a rare statement. Supervisors said they decided against severance because they believe Roberts, not the county, should personally pay this expense. “The vote was made in the context of whether taxpayer money should be used to resolve issues resulting solely from the actions of one Supervisor and multiple staff members he hired and managed,” the statement said. The supervisors added that their action was not related to whether or not they believed the allegations to be true or false. Roberts had a different view of the board’s action. “You don’t give somebody severance for quitting their job when their reasons are not true,” he said in a May interview. While settlements are determined in private, state law requires that details be made public.

Vacancy on DM school board after resignation San Dieguito Union High School District Del Mar Union School District board member Alan Kholos has resigned from the school board effective June 18, because of his relocation abroad for a one-year assignment with CareFusion, now part of global medical technology company Becton Dickinson. Kholos has served on the board since November 2012. According to a news release from the district, Kholos made valuable contributions during his time as a board member and was dedicated to high quality educational programs and making sound fiscal decisions. Because of Kholos’ resignation, the board has a vacant position. The board has 60 days to make an appointment to the position or call for a special election. The board will vote Alan Kholos on the process for filling the vacancy at its June 24 board meeting (after press time for this newspaper). Earlier this year, the board voted to go through an appointment process rather than a special election to fill the vacancy left by board member Doug Perkins. The district had 11 candidates apply for the position and appointed Erica Halpern on March 4.

CV woman pleads not guilty in mother’s slaying BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A woman accused of beating and stabbing her 73-year-old mother with a knife and meat tenderizing tool in their Carmel Valley home pleaded not guilty on Wednesday, June 24, to a murder charge and was ordered held on $3 million bail. Lara Epstein, 51, has been dealing with mental health problems, according to her family, and there was tension between Epstein and her mother, Svetlana Gurinova, said Deputy District Attorney Scott Pirrello. Gurinova had moved into the Carmel Valley home recently, according to the prosecutor. On June 16, while other family members were out of town, the defendant called to say there was some kind of problem, Pirrello told Judge David Szumowski. Police were called about 10:30 p.m. and found the victim on the laundry room floor. Pirrello said Gurinova had stab wounds to the head, neck and chest and had been severely beaten. The prosecutor said plastic bags were covering the victim’s head and feet, and there had been an effort to clean up the scene. The knife and meat tenderizer — believed to have been used in the killing — were found in the home, Pirrello said. Epstein, who at times made “rambling� statements to police, was arrested at the scene. Epstein — who was born in Russia but is a U.S. citizen — will be back in court July 1 for a status conference. A preliminary hearing is set for July 7. She faces 26 years to life in prison if convicted.

BY KAREN BILLING A tentative date of Aug. 31 has been set for a workshop on how the San Dieguito Union High School District will enroll high school students in the future, including the possibility of drawing new boundaries. At that meeting, there will be a presentation on the options, limited public comment and board discussion with a recommendation on what they would like the district to do. At the June 16 district meeting, Superintendent Rick Schmitt said the district’s recent commitment to add more classes to La Costa Canyon and Torrey Pines high schools in the 2016-17 school year may put a dent in the high school enrollment challenges facing the district. One of the No. 1 drivers of students to the open-enrollment academies of San Dieguito and Canyon Crest is the bell schedule and program options; Schmitt hopes that giving students more options will affect how people feel about high school enrollment. Michael Grove, associate superintendent of educational services, said the district received 2,175 responses from their survey on enrollment, a 10 percent response rate. His summer reading assignment includes going through all of those surveys to ensure the board has all of the information needed to make a decision. The survey input will be paired with input from the six public meetings that were held. With the district’s current enrollment practice, San Dieguito and CCA are open boundary schools. If more students select the school than there are available seats, the district decides who gets in through a random lottery. No preference is given to proximity. Residents of West Encinitas, Leucadia and Cardiff by the Sea, surrounding San Dieguito Academy, have been gathering signatures over the past month on an online petition to get the district to change the open enrollment policy to ensure that students can attend their neighborhood school.

Education, community are priorities for La Colonia, says Latino center report BY KRISTINA HOUCK Education, civic engagement and community building are the top three priorities for residents of Solana Beach’s Eden Gardens community, according to a recent report from the National Latino Research Center at Cal State San Marcos. The research center released its results during a June 3 meeting at the La Colonia Community Center, more than a year after it launched the study to learn how to improve the quality of life for community members in La Colonia, a small but historical neighborhood that’s largely Latino. “The report is historic from the perspective that we have never done this before in La Colonia, let alone, as I understand it, in Solana Beach,� said Manny Aguilar, president and board chairman of the La Colonia de Eden Gardens Foundation, at the start of the meeting. “This is very unique. I want to thank everybody for being here and for giving us your feedback.� The community assessment aimed to help create a shared vision and build relationships between residents and local decision makers to improve the quality of life in La Colonia. In partnership with La Colonia de Eden Gardens Foundation, researchers at the National Latino Research Center at Cal State San Marcos conducted a baseline community assessment in collaboration with community stakeholders to identify, document and prioritize community needs and opportunities in the neighborhood. Starting in spring 2014, researchers conducted multiple interviews, held focus groups and led community forums to gather feedback from La Colonia residents and ser-

vice providers from local public and private schools, organizations and parent groups. The data-gathering portion of the project continued through the summer. Led by Research Director Arcela NunezAlvarez and Faculty Director Bonnie Bade, the assessment profiled the community and identified three distinct areas of opportunities for improvement: children and youth; family and civic engagement; and social capital and community identity. “We were able to listen to what many of you had to say about what life is like in this community,� Nunez-Alvarez said. “It is always a privilege to be able to do that. Now, it is with great pleasure that we’re able to come back and let you know what we heard.� Researchers assessed the resources and opportunities for children and youth in education, after-school programs and youth leadership. “Education, unanimously, was brought up as the No. 1 priority for the community, from adults, decision makers, school administrators, parents,� Nunez-Alvarez said. “Everyone is looking at education.� Families viewed educational institutions as a “safe haven� for new immigrants, established immigrants and longtime residents, Nunez-Alvarez said. Still, parents expressed several concerns for their students. English language proficiency was a top concern. Close to 24 percent of Solana Beach residents speak a language other than English at home, according to the report. Of those, 68 percent speak Spanish. Latinos who speak Spanish make up the majority of the English learner population at the elementary school level, reaching 92

Photo by Kristina Houck percent at Skyline Elementary, according to the report. “Parents know that language proficiency is key in their preparation for college and university success,� Nunez-Alvarez said. In addition to language proficiency, parents expressed concerns about low graduation rates, low participation in college preparatory courses, high dropout rates, lack of academic rigor and a sense of alienation in local schools. Only 49 percent of Latinos in the La Colonia region, for example, are graduating having completed required courses to go on to the University of California and Cal State University systems. That’s compared with 79 percent of whites and 86 percent of Asians, according to the report. To address these concerns, the report recommended the community continue to work with local organizations such as the Boys and Girls Clubs of San Dieguito, Casa de Amistad and Mano a Mano Foundation, which provide ed-

ucational support services. The report also recommended that community organizations partner with local colleges and universities to create an interest in higher education and encourage college students to serve as mentors and tutors to local youth. Researchers also assessed the resources and opportunities for parents and families to actively participate in education and civic affairs. La Colonia residents believe the community is thriving because many are longtime residents with a strong sense of civic responsibility. According to the report, many residents are immigrants from Mexico who came to live in the United States 10 to 30 years ago. Residents also believe they play an important part as direct agents of change in finding solutions to address community problems. “You all care, you’re here and you want to make a difference,� Nunez-Alvarez said.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Celebrating last year’s successes, the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society welcomed another year with the re-installation of its board June 19 during the society’s annual dinner at Tony’s Jacal. Mayor Lesa Heebner helped swear in Virginia Garland as president for a third term. Pat Smart was also re-elected vice president, Cindi Clemons was re-elected corresponding secretary, Suellen Lodge was reelected recording secretary and Tom Golich was re-elected treasurer. “It is an honor to be selected as officers of this society,” said Heebner, who was joined by her colleagues, Deputy Mayor David Zito and Councilman Peter Zahn at the event. “We get to do this very official installation every year to remind you of your duties and the gravity of the job that you’ve taken on.” The evening kicked off with a preview of North Coast Repertory Theatre’s upcoming “Side By Side By Sondheim,” a musical that runs July 15 through Aug. 9 at the Solana Beach theater. It was the fifth time the local theater has opened the annual dinner. Although cast members had finished only their third day of rehearsals, they performed three songs from the 28-song show. The society then awarded scholarships to two local high school graduates. Canyon Crest Academy graduate Shea Irwin and Torrey Pines High School graduate Tim Holdsworth each received $1,000. With a goal to be a graphic designer, Irwin will study art and design at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Holdsworth, who wants to be a professor, will study mechanical engineering and sociology at the University of San Diego. “These kids have done a super job in school and in our community,” Clemons

said. “This is the second year that we’ve had this scholarship program. It’s just a huge honor to be able to support two high school graduates as they go on to higher education and learning.” Offering financial support for collegebound Solana Beach students is just one of the ways the society gives back to the community. The Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society evolved from the Solana Beach Women’s Civic Club, which was founded in 1953. After Solana Beach’s incorporation in 1986, the City Council asked the club to become custodians of the city’s history. In 1989, its Certificate of Incorporation was officially modified to create the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society, and men were welcomed into the organization. Today the society focuses on civic and cultural advancement, education and philanthropy. Some of the projects the society has sponsored include the renovation of the Fletcher Cove Community Center, the acquisition of the Gateway property and the continued beautification of the city through plantings and public art. The society also educates local students and community members about Solana Beach’s history through programs at the Heritage Museum located in La Colonia Park. This year, the society brought history to life for Solana Vista Elementary School third-graders through the Living History program, recognized two local high school graduates with scholarships, and helped replace a dead Torrey pine on the city’s Coastal Rail Trail. “I really feel a lot was accomplished last year,” Garland said. “We do what we can to better our community.” Visit solanabeachcivicandhistoricalsociety.org.

District nutritionist asks Congress to serve up flexibility on lunch programs • Rules are now so strict that students don’t like the results, and program costs are rising, expert testifies BY KAREN BILLING School lunch restrictions have gotten tighter across the country and the San Dieguito Union High School District has complied to ensure its food is nutritious as well as appetizing to middle school and high school students. However, complying with those standards has resulted in fewer students eating those healthy school lunches and rising costs are making a mess of the meal program budget, officials say. It is frustrating to Siri Perlman, district nutrition specialist, that the district can sell a pack of sour worms candy, but they can’t sell Sabra-brand hummus packs because they are too high in fat for the regulations. The federal guidelines are well-intentioned, she said, but what school districts need is a little more flexibility. As Congress prepares to reauthorize the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act of 2010 this fall, Perlman was invited by the School Nutrition Association to discuss the impact of new nutrition standards on school meal programs in two congressional staff briefings June 11 in Washington, D.C. Perlman was one of six speakers representing lunch programs throughout the country. Nutrition directors from Nebraska, North Carolina, Ohio, Kentucky and New York joined her before Congress. The group participated in two briefings, one with the Senate Agriculture Committee staff and select staff from the Senate and House Appropriations Committee. A second meeting was with the House Education and Workforce Committee staff. “It was an amazing opportunity, and I feel so Director of Nutrition Services Rick privileged to work with people from our field and adMariam and Siri Perlman, the vocate for change in areas we feel are inconsistent district nutrition specialist. with the end goal to provide healthy, nutritious meals to students,” Perlman said. “We support the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act, but there needs to be more flexibility to in order to be successful both financially and participation-wise.”

Snack Smart challenges Historically, San Dieguito’s reimbursable meal program has been subsidized through its a la carte food sales. With the new regulations that took effect in July 2014, a la carte revenue dropped significantly and the district anticipates a loss of $175,000 this school year. Under the federal government meal program, the district is reimbursed per full meal sold. For the meal to be reimbursable, students must take at least three of the five components offered, and one component must be a fruit or vegetable. Schools offer four menu items daily plus alternatives of a hummus pack, yogurt parfait or peanut butter and jelly sandwich. They are no longer allowed to sell the entrees from the combo meals a la carte unless they are under 400 calories and sold the day they appear on the reimbursable meal program menu, or the day after. If they’re not on the menu in that time frame, the items must be less than 350 calories with less than 35 percent calories from fat, and less than 35 percent sugar, and must meet several other restrictions. Snack food items must be less than 200 calories and meet many of the same restrictions. To meet those requirements, portion sizes have had to decrease, resulting in smaller bagels (and cream cheese or jelly are no longer allowed to be sold with them), smaller versions of the popular paninis, and four sushi rolls rather than eight (because of sodium content). Perlman said it’s hard to overcome the student customers’ perception that they are paying the same price for less. See LUNCH, page 21

‘Being Brain Healthy’ something to strive for at all life stages BY LOIS ALTER MARK Julianne Moore brought the subject of brain health into the mainstream this year with her Oscar-winning portrayal of a woman with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease in “Still Alice.” The topic has become even more relevant as the baby boomers approach old age and look for ways to keep their brains sharp and ward off Alzheimer’s and other brain diseases. With her new book, “Being Brain Healthy,” local author Ruth Curran has created a resource full of practical tips and easy exercises that are life-improving at any age. Although the subject matter hits close to home for Curran, who experienced a traumatic brain injury of her own, the information she painstakingly researched during her recovery will help all readers, whether they are working to move on after an injury or simply trying to keep their brain functioning at its optimum level. Here’s what she had to say about “Being Brain Healthy” — the book and the practice. Q: This subject is obviously very personal to you. Can you talk a little about that? A: Ten years ago, a van ran a stoplight and smashed into the passenger side of my car. I was hit so hard that the force pushed my car into oncoming traffic. There was no glass left in any of the windows — the combination of the forces from the accident and my head banging against the pane on the driver’s side and the windshield took it all out. In the process, my brain bounced back and forth in my skull, leaving me in a fog that did not lift for 18 months. Q: What was the most challenging part of recovering from your injury? A: Looking at me, it was impossible to tell that anything was wrong. I looked normal, so it was natural to assume I would act and react as I did before the accident. But I was different, and I had no idea how to find the words to tell anyone. People would expect me to be me, and I would look back at them, simply trying to figure out how the words went together and, at the same time, block out the noises and light and commotion that pre-accident me had no idea were even there. Q: You took responsibility for your own recovery when the medical profession seemed to be lacking. What would you like to tell doctors who are treating patients with brain injuries? A: Sometimes just getting through the day is not enough — push your patients to work harder. Throwing out a challenge will never derail anyone, and just might be that spark that someone needs to move beyond. And be honest about the fact that there will be setbacks — recovery is not a steady upward climb. My inclination is to say, “Listen to your patients,” but sometimes those things patients can’t find the words to express are the most critical. Q: How is your life different now than before the accident? A: I am a different person and, as a result, the way I approach my day-to-day life has

changed. I had to rebuild so many skills after the accident and develop strategies to manage my life. As I homed in on the details — mostly so I would not lose them — I found myself paying attention to all my senses rather than trusting one to give me a complete picture. Focusing on things that made me happy actually helped me think better. I try to continue that practice every day. Q: Why did you de- Ruth Curran has written cide to write a self-help “Being Brain Healthy,” book rather than a memabout her recovery from a oir? A: Originally, I did not brain injury, but also about ensuring brain health even consider telling my through life. Courtesy photos story. I set out to write a hopeful self-help book to teach people how to use the power of their own brain and body to think and live better. It turned out that my personal journey made it relevant, mainly because I had documented the relationship between my behavior and how my brain functioned. I had to learn how the brain and body worked together and that meant studying it in great detail. “Being Brain Healthy” is about changing your focus and adding quality to those things you are already doing every day. Turning up the volume on your life keeps your brain active and nourished. A memoir would have just scratched the surface and only included my specific type of brain injury. Disease, treatments for disease, traumatic experience, and sometimes just plain aging can all result in varying forms of brain injury, and I needed to include those as well. Q: Who is “Being Brain Healthy” intended for? A: The obvious answer is, those who have suffered a brain injury or have a condition that changes thinking, plus the people who live with, work with, or care for them. However, the book is not just about brain injury. The truth is that we all have to pay attention to how See BRAIN, page 20

A Fresh Look on Finances with Aubrey Morrow CFP®

Are You Financially Organized? OK, this question conjures up a number of images and questions. The initial answer is, “I don’t know. I’m not sure…what is being financially organized anyway?” If the question were asked, “Would you like to be physically fit?” We know the answer. Let’s explore what being financially organized is all about. It’s all about your assets – how they are created and how they are protected. Everyone wants to have more money, create wealth and be happy. It’s just not easy. We have busy lives with family and work – and time just slips by each day and many times our financial dreams start fading away just like those New Year’s resolutions we make each year. Let’s reduce the question to some financial basis: Your Investments: Do your investments match the stage of your life? Younger can be more aggressive – in or nearing retirement more conservative. Are your investments structured for income or growth? Are your investments diversified with cash, stocks, bonds, real estate and alternatives? Do your investments cause you to pay excessive taxes? Retirement: Are you taking advantage of all the plans available? You should. When do you plan on retiring? How much income will you need to enjoy it? What will be the source of your income? Years ago, I taught classes at a local university and had a student ask, “Mr. Morrow, when should I start planning my retirement?” My answer was “now.” Think about it. Income Taxes: Check your most recent Federal & California income tax returns to see how much you paid last year. Federal is Form 1040 (see line 63) and CA is form 540 (see line 64). Total and divide by 12 to see what you paid, on average, each month last year. Have your Kleenex box nearby. Proper planning might save taxes. Taxes aren’t taxes… taxes are dollars. Risk Management (Insurance): Are you properly insured for life insurance, disability, health, long-term care, auto, homeowners, casualty, Umbrella? Best time to know is before it’s needed. Estate Planning: When was the last time you reviewed your wills, trusts, powers of attorney for health and legal? Debt: Do you have debt? Check the rates as interest rates are historically low. Do you have good or bad debt? Should you pay off debt or have a mortgage? Everyone should strive to be financially organized. It just makes good financial sense. If you would like to learn more and how to get started in getting financially organized, visit www.MoneyTalkRadio. com website. We can provide a 10-page booklet, Are You Financially Organized? and an Initial Planning Guide. It’s time you take control of your financial life.

Education Matters/Opinion

Letters to the editor/Opinion

Filling Doug Perkins’ shoes The carnival of local politics BY MARSHA SUTTON “Former Del Mar Union School District trustee Doug Perkins has resigned his position on the San Diego County Board of Education, after suffering a massive hemorrhagic stroke in February.” That opening sentence Marsha Sutton in reporter Karen Billing’s story in this newspaper last week is heartbreaking. According to his wife, Perkins is making progress in his recovery. Nevertheless, she wrote in her online journal that she made the difficult decision to resign him from his District 5 seat on the San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE) board, effective June 8. Perkins, who served for seven years on the Del Mar Union School District board, won his SDCOE seat in 2014 after a hardfought campaign against an opponent endorsed by the American Federation of Teachers and supported by AFT money. Perkins’ improbable win was a resounding defeat for the union-backed candidate, and represented a victory for those voters who rejected questionable campaign tactics and instead chose to support a candidate whose track record was one of strong fiscal oversight, fairness and nonpartisan decision-making in the best interests of students. The resignation means the District 5 seat is open, and applications are now being accepted. Applicants must reside within District 5 (which stretches from Del Mar, east to part of Poway, and north to Fallbrook) and must submit applications by noon July 1. County board members will interview candidates and appoint a new trustee at their July 8 meeting. If trustees do not appoint someone 45 days from the day Perkins resigned, which would be July 23, the county Board of Supervisors will make the appointment. Here’s where this gets interesting. Lyn Neylon, SDCOE board member from District 2, also resigned, effective June 30. So the five-member board will be down to three members who will appoint Perkins’ replacement. The appointment to replace Neylon will come a few weeks later. We already know who one applicant will be for Perkins’ seat: Neylon herself. “It’s my intention to throw my hat in for District 5 because I’m moving back to North County,” Neylon announced at the June 10 SDCOE board meeting. Her resignation letter is effective June 30, and the deadline to submit an application for Perkins’ seat is noon July 1. Tricky timing. The issue of residency Peg Marks, SDCOE legal services analyst, spoke to board members at the June 10 meeting, advising them on the proper procedure for the appointments. She noted the following details: •Vacancies on the SDCOE board must be filled by appointment. There is no option for an election, unlike for school districts. •Rules regarding the filling of vacancies for the county board of education are governed by the San Diego County Charter and not by California Education Code. •The applicant interviews, board discussion and appointment are subject to the Brown Act and must be public. The applicable government code (sec-

tion 240-245) states the following rules for establishing residency: •It is the place where one remains when not called elsewhere for labor or other special or temporary purpose, and to which he or she returns in seasons of repose. •There can only be one residence. •A residence cannot be lost until another is gained. Music Watson, SDCOE’s chief communications officer, said it’s not a requirement to have lived in the district for a prescribed period of time, although board members may choose to take that factor into consideration when appointing Perkins’ replacement. A candidate must, however, live in the district at the time the application is submitted. As of press time, Neylon had not responded to my requests for an interview, to clarify the timeline for her move. But as of the June 10 board meeting, she still resided in District 2 and was the District 2 representative on the county board. Also as of press time, no candidate has applied to fill Perkins’ seat — only Neylon has publicly stated intentions to do so. Increased monthly stipend The San Diego County Office of Education provides services for the county’s 42 school districts, 119 charter schools and five community college districts. This includes 774 schools and about 504,000 students, including more than 11,000 children educated each year through SDCOE’s Juvenile Court and Community Schools. County Schools Superintendent Randolph Ward was hired in 2006, replacing former Superintendent Rudy Castruita who served from 1994 to 2006. To see a map of the five SDCOE districts and read trustee bios, see: http://www.sdcoe. net/Board/pages/board-members.aspx. The application to fill the vacancy in District 5 can be found here: http://www.sdcoe.net/Board/Pages/board-vacancies.aspx. The appointee will not serve the full four years of Perkins’ term, which expires in January 2019. Rather, he or she will serve until the next general election in 2016. At that time, voters will elect someone to fill the two years remaining in the term. Then another election will be held in 2018 to select someone to serve a full four-year term. As an aside, board members recently voted to increase their monthly stipend 5 percent, and gave themselves a raise effective July 1, 2015, to $536.03 per month. The last raise they approved — again, 5 percent — was last July 1, 2014. An annual 5 percent increase seems to be the trend. Board members also receive a generous benefits package. Basic Aid districts Neylon appears to be an intelligent, dedicated, energized trustee who might very well be an excellent District 5 board member. Still, it’s reasonable to question her qualifications to fulfill the needs of District 5. According to Neylon’s bio on the SDCOE website, she grew up and lives in the South Bay area. Her school districts in District 2 include Sweetwater, South Bay, Chula Vista, National City and San Ysidro — the communities at the southernmost edge of San Diego County. Can a new resident of District 5 have the necessary depth of understanding of the unique needs of the North County coastal school communities in District 5, many of See EDUCATION, page 19

BY GORDON CLANTON The April 23 column offered a gossipy early preview of the June 2016 elections. Many boldface names were dropped along the way. To some this appeared premature. The election is a year away. The general election, with its presidential allure, is 17 months out. But now is the exciting time when campaigns are being launched and scuttled, the time when the field for any given seat is being narrowed by attrition or by negotiation. There is a certain drama about this, drama that is entertaining in its own right, independent of the substance of politics. The story of our society and of our communities at this moment in history is every bit as entertaining as “House of Thrones” or “Game of Cards” or “Downtown Abby.” The political landscape is a vast carnival with many levels and races, where a visitor can move among the stages and storylines. Politics is untidy, indeterminate, not a wellmade play. Let’s scan the local political scene as theater. Democratic Supervisor Dave Roberts, wounded by accusations by former staffers, will be challenged by Republican Sam Abed, mayor of Escondido. Other challengers are lining up at the mic. If Dave were to resign, the other board members (all Republicans) would appoint his replacement. Stay tuned. The battle to replace termed-out Democrat Sherri Lightner will determine the balance of power on the San Diego City Council. Republican Ray Ellis, who ran against incumbent Lightner in 2012, got 46 percent of the vote in the primary but lost in November. This time around, Ellis will face two able Democrats, Joe LaCava and Barbara Bry, one of whom will meet Ellis in November. A drama unfolding. Democratic Congressman Scott Peters voted recently to support President Obama’s trade authority package. The legislation was defeated because of the opposition of a majority of Democratic members. Local labor leaders told Peters they would recruit a candidate to run against him if he voted for the trade package — though I hope they will not. High-tech interests threatened retaliation if he voted No. Tough spot, Scott. The complex nature of the trade-authority vote is signaled by the scatter of local congressional votes: Democrat Susan Davis, like Peters, supported the president. Democrat Juan Vargas did not vote. The Republicans split. Darrell Issa voted Yes. Duncan Hunter said No. Strange bedfellows all around. Watch for the sequel. Politics as drama. Tragedy and comedy. Tune in next week.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

Thank you, Del Mar, for choosing Village Square In 2013, it began simply as a plan to house Del Mar city government. We believed residents wanted and deserved more. We envisioned our Community Center as a gathering place for all residents to enjoy, designed around a Grand Plaza as a permanent home for our Farmers Market and space for multiple interactive social, cultural, school, nonprofit, holiday and other special community events. A plan with space for multiple options such as fine dining, the Alvarado House and the arts. This Village Square concept was overwhelmingly supported by you, the residents. As a result, plans are now being finalized by the city architects incorporating these features for what will be an exciting interactive Community Center as the heart of Del Mar civic life and social interaction for decades. Our own Village Square. We thank the residents of Del Mar for their support and a particular thanks to Mayor Al Corti, Councilperson Don Mosier, City Manager Scott Huth, City Planning, Community Development Director Kathleen Garcia and the entire City Council for their leadership in making it happen. Jim Watkins, Kit Leeger

Bicyclists must respect road rules, too There have have been many stories regarding bicyclists and their interaction with motor vehicles and safety, sharing the road, obeying traffic laws and plain common courtesy. I’d like to share my own story. This past Sunday morning, Father’s Day, my wife, two daughters and myself ventured out for a walk to the beach with a much-anticipated stop at Roberto’s for a breakfast burrito. We were on the east side of Coast Highway, waiting for the light at Solana Vista Drive. Once we had the green light, we paused, as there was a fast-moving bicyclist pushing at a high rate of speed going north. After he’d passed, and as I was about to step into the walkway, my wife shouted, “Stop!” I turned and there was a trailing bicyclist I had not seen. He was apparently trying to keep up with his fasterriding partner. Not only did this bicyclist not stop, slow down, yell or warn me, but he just careened through the red light; he didn’t skip a beat and did not offer an apology. Luckily, my wife averted what could have been a major collision. Bicyclists, if you must ride at race pace, then please find an alternative to Coast Highway: There are several obstacles including many pedestrians, motor vehicles and other cyclists. Yes, red lights too. Whomever you are who ran the red light and almost smashed into me, you are the type of cyclist that gives the rest of the bicycling community a bad name. Call to action: Bicyclists, please respect and share the road as you wish it to be shared with you! Jim Dyjak Solana Beach

‘Coach Eric’ shares life lessons with North Shore All Star Softball Team The North Shore Girls Softball 12U Gold All Star team is in high spirits after back-to-back appearances in tournament championships at Scripps Ranch and Peninsula. The team will participate in six weekend tournaments this summer as they prepare for the Amateur Softball Association’s North San Diego District tournament at the end of June. “The physical preparation of throwing, hitting and fielding are obviously essential parts of getting ready, and we also want to prepare their minds, too. That’s where Coach Eric comes in,” said 12U Gold Coach John Wood. Eric McElvenny coaches in North Shore’s 8U Division and is retired from the U.S. Marine Corps. McElvenny served seven years in the Marines, which included three deployments. In December 2011, in his final tour, Capt. McElvenny lost part of his leg after stepping on an IED while on patrol in the Helmand Province of Afghanistan. Two months later, he re-learned to walk using a prosthetic leg, and in August 2012, he competed in his first sprint triathlon. In August 2013, he finished the Kona Ironman Triathlon, made up of a two-mile swim, a 100-mile bike and a 26.2-mile marathon. When McElvenny is not training or coaching his daughter in soccer and softball, he spends time speaking to groups to share lessons learned along this incredible life’s journey. That takes us back to a field at Ocean Air Community Park, where the 12U All Star team is preparing for another tournament. Coach Eric is there to talk about how resilience comes in all sizes. Whether you are bouncing back from a strike-out on the softball field or finding the courage to redefine your life after a devastating injury, you have to make

which are classified as Basic Aid? Because they are financed mainly through local property taxes rather than the state, Basic Aid districts — Del Mar, Solana Beach, Cardiff, Rancho Santa Fe, San Dieguito, among others — are funded entirely differently than any of the school districts in District 2. And this matters a great deal. The concerns are different, the needs are different, the demographics are different. Not better and not worse — just fundamentally different than the non-Basic Aid school districts. Board members with two years’ experience may understand how SDCOE operates, but without the in-depth knowledge of the local school communities they will be representing, is that board experience enough? The second concern is that Neylon, according to reports in the San Diego Union-Tribune, won her seat in 2012 with heavy backing from the American Federation of Teachers. By choosing Perkins in 2014, voters in District 5 rejected Perkins’ opponent, who was also supported by the AFT. The San Diego Union- Tribune noted that the other three SDCOE trustees, the three who will choose Perkins’ replacement, are all backed by the same teachers union. Perkins was alone among the five SDCOE board members, the only one not AFT-endorsed. In picking a successor to Perkins, will board members consider that voters in District 5 chose a non-AFT candidate in 2014 to represent them? Or will the board feel an unspoken obligation to support Neylon, as a fellow AFT-backed trustee, for District 5, and simply shuffle the seating arrangement in the boardroom? Tragic loss There are so many reasons why Perkins’ stroke is tragic; the loss of his presence on the county board of education is one of them. He would have been a wonderful addition to the board, and the public has been denied the benefit of his intelligence, passion, wisdom and charm. Hopefully, the remaining three county board members will have a number of highly qualified candidates applying to fill the seat, and one hopes they choose someone aligned with the positions and issues that were important to Perkins — issues apparently important to voters as well. Perkins cannot really be replaced on the board; the most that can happen is that board members fill the vacancy. Let’s hope they do this in a way that best honors Doug and all he gave to his community as a devoted public servant. Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com

Retired U.S. Marine Capt. Eric McElvenny coaches in North Shore’s 8U Division. a mental choice to move on to better things. “It’s awesome to work with such a true American hero,” said Coach John. “He (Eric) has such a great manner in which he relates his own amazing experiences to the daily life of these 12-year-olds.” Lila Browne presented Coach Eric with a rubber duck that the team uses to reward exemplary play on the field. “We call them QUACSS,” she said, “which stands for Quickness, Urgency, Anticipation, Courage, Speed and Skill.” In appreciation for the time Coach Eric has spent with the team, they have offered to pay it forward with the Challenged Athletes Foundation (www.challengedathletes. org), which played a key role in McElvenny’s rehabilitation and transition to a new life as an endurance athlete.

BRAIN both pro-active and re-active, depending on your stage in life and health status. Q: What do you think people will find most surprising about the information you share in the book? A: People are surprised, first, by the fact that they can change their brain chemistry through their behavior and, second, that the better a behavior makes them feel, the more restorative it can be. Readers tell me they feel the difference when they focus on using more senses and making more of a moment. It is really so simple, yet so effective. Q: What is the most important thing people can do to keep their brain sharp and healthy? A: Move your body and smile. Your brain rewards you when you feel good, so do that every single day. Add in some heartpumping exercise and you take it to a new level. Q: Is there any good news you can share about Alzheimer’s disease?

continued from page 10

A: Yes, and, with all the new research in brain science, more is coming in every day. One batch of recent studies focuses on the positive impact of meaningful activities like art, crafts, and socializing on the aging brain. Another zeroes in on the benefits of meditation, mindfulness, and living a centered life. We can put these findings into action right now. Q: What do you want readers to take away from your story and your book? A: Be hopeful and powerful.

The schools are also no longer allowed to sell Gatorade, which Perlman said they weren’t too sad to see go, although that has caused a major hit in their revenue. “The new Smart Snacks regulations have not had the intended effect in our district,� Perlman says. “Many students are upset that healthy reimbursable meal entrees can no longer be sold a la carte, and that some popular options like hummus and pretzels are off the menu. With a la carte choices so limited, many students go off campus for fast food, soda and sugary snacks. “Allowing reimbursable entrees to be sold a la carte every day would provide students with a larger variety of nutritious choices and help to restore our financial solvency. Food is only nutritious if they eat it.� The business of nutrition Perlman, a registered dietitian, has been working in wellness for 10 years. Before joining the district two years ago, she served as the coordinator of nutrition education and PE programs in the Lawndale Elementary School District. At Lawndale, she was the site coordinator for the Network for Healthy California for five years and the Physical Education Program grant for two years. Perlman is also president of Chapter 34 of the California School Nutrition Association, which has re-established last September after having been dormant for 10 years. Her invitation to visit Congress was unexpected. Rick Mariam, the district’s director of nutrition services, had been interviewed for an article in the Los Angeles Times. But his thoughts were not included in the resulting article, and Perlman took issue with the fact that their concerns were lumped into being portrayed as the “lunch lady lobby.� “To be characterized as the ‘lunch lady lobby’ and not nutrition advocates was very frustrating,� Perlman said. She wrote a letter to the editor, and a firm working with the School Nutrition Association reached out to her about joining SNA members in expressing her concerns to Congress. As Perlman said, SDUHSD’s nutrition program runs like a small business — it has to make money to pay for its operating costs and avoid dipping into reserves or the district’s general fund. Food costs have increased because of the ingredient requirements. As a dietitian, Perlman loves that they are serving whole-wheat lavash bread, brown rice sushi and fresh fruit, but those items do cost more. Unfortunately, the price increases have been passed on to the consumer. Just last month, the board approved increasing school lunch prices from $3.75 to $4.25, the first price increase in seven years. “The feedback we hear from some students are that the prices are too expensive,� Perlman said. “High schoolers can go off-campus at lunch, so at schools like San Dieguito,

you’ll see a mass exodus at lunch. Imagine us trying to provide a Greek salad or a whole grain burrito with barbacoa, and students are going off getting a Frappuccino.â€? At San Dieguito, students flock to the convenience store down the road on Santa Fe Drive, where they have had to institute rules of no more than 10 students in the store at a time because of the lunchtime rush. Across from Canyon Crest Academy, students can now walk to the growing Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch, where lines at Starbucks now stretch out the door onto the sidewalk. “We’re getting healthier, but we’re losing our students to those places,â€? Perlman said. She said the intent of the Healthy, Hunger-Free Kids Act is admirable — but the unintended consequence is that it renders their program financially unsustainable. “If we lose our customer base and prices go up, how can you sustain that?â€? Perlman asked. “And how would the community feel if we have to dip into the general fund?â€? Making health teen-friendly For their part, Perlman is proud of how innovative the district has been to come up with ways to meet the regulations and keep the food exciting for students. The regulations mandate that 100 percent of grains served are are 50 percent whole grain, so the district has worked hard with its bakery to develop a whole grain-rich sourdough bread that students like. They are looking to find a macaroni and cheese dish with whole grain noodles and low-sodium and lowfat cheese sauce that students will like. The chicken Caesar wrap on whole-wheat lavash is a top seller, and they serve unique sides like roasted garbanzo beans. The district also worked with students as they developed a pupusa, an El Salvadoran dish. Students helped rename it the more teen-palatable “stuffed bean and cheese quesadilla,â€? and they advertise it on campus with posters touting the house-made curtido slaw that tops it. Many of the food items are prepared at the central kitchen at Canyon Crest, then trucked to the sites. The other items are made in individual school kitchens. Perlman said her kitchen staff takes pride in their work and are always interested to see how the students like what they make. They carefully layer the granola in the yogurt parfaits, hand-roll the burritos and stack the turkey sandwiches just so. A lot of labor goes into all these new items — but unless they get student buy-in, they’re a loss and they have to be pulled from the menu. Besides lunch service lines, each high school has its own school eatery: At La Costa, it’s The Calf-A, San Dieguito has the Mosaic CafĂŠ, Torrey Pines has the Corner CafĂŠ and Canyon Crest has The Nest. The district has tried to keep the cafĂŠ environments fun and inviting, and students take ownership by run-

LA COLONIA the report recommended educational and leadership development activities and programs for adults and youth. The report also recommended that residents create community-based parent committees that work with local schools and organizations to advocate for better education opportunities. Another recommendation is that the city offers internships or public service positions for youth, encouraging education, leadership development and civic engagement. Last, researchers assessed the resources and opportunities for celebrating and preserving the community’s culture and history. According to feedback, La Colonia residents value the community’s culture and history and want to foster respect for diversity. Residents are proud of their heritage and value cultural celebrations. To celebrate diversity, the report recommended creating a cultural center or community space to feature and preserve local history. In addition, cultural events and festivals should continued to be held in the community. “In your community, you’re ahead of

He thanked the city of Solana Beach, specifically Mayor Lesa Heebner, Councilman Mike Nichols and City Manager David Ott for their support, as well as a number of local schools and organizations, including San Dieguito Union High School District, Solana Beach School District, Santa Fe Christian Schools, Boys and Girls Clubs of San Dieguito, Casa de Amistad and Mano a Mano Foundation. “This is just the beginning,� Aguilar said. “We have work to do.� For information about La Colonia de Eden Gardens Foundation or to view the report, visit lceg.org.

ning the cafes through Regional Occupational Program business classes. “With limited staff and funding, we’re doing the best we can to get buy-in for all of the healthy choices,� Perlman said. The tweaks Perlman advocated in Washington were to allow a la carte items to be sold at any time, for the initial requirement of 50 percent whole grains (instead of 100 percent) to be restored, and to increase the per meal reimbursement by 35 cents because the full meal reimbursements are not covering their costs. She said if they can get help in those areas, it would go a long way toward recovering lost participation and allow them to remain fiscally solvent. “As someone who only now is getting involved with our national organization, I was so impressed with the professionalism but down-to-earth nature of the SNA staff, and meeting and working with all the representatives from other states,� Perlman said. “I felt really good about our field and all the positive work that we’re doing. It inspired me and reinforced the work I’m doing at San Dieguito.�

man said. Prices for three-day passes range from $199 to $2,499, but many of the lowerpriced options have already sold out. VIP experiences such as full-service, on-site lodging are offered for as much as $12,000. The festival is geared for people ages 25 to 55, Coleman said. She noted that the average ticket buyer is 38 years old. “Our target demographic is a lot different from other music festivals in the country,” Coleman said. “This is a totally different experience.” In preparation of the festival, organizers have met with representatives from the fairgrounds and the cities of Del Mar and Solana Beach to develop plans to mitigate noise, traffic and safety impacts. The event must adhere to local noise ordinances. Therefore, outside entertainment will end at 10 p.m. Indoor entertainment will end at 2:30 a.m. To help reduce sound, Coleman said organizers are working with a national sound engineering expert to conduct testing and develop a plan to mitigate noise levels in the neighborhood. Outdoor stages will be directed away from the surrounding neighborhoods, while indoor stages will feature modified sound levels and temporary insulation to contain the sound within the spaces. “We’re well aware of the noise ordinance and what the rules are, and we are here to follow them,” Coleman said. “I think that you’re going to find that the sound is not going to carry the way that they’re putting it together,” added Becky Bartling, deputy general manager of the fairgrounds. As for traffic, a team including 10 traffic deputies and 60 traffic controllers will help alleviate congestion. Attendees must purchase on-site parking passes in advance. Those without prepaid parking passes will have to use off-site lots. Messaging will be mailed along with event wristbands. Signs directing traffic to off-site lots will also be posted on the freeway and roads. “I think that’s great,” said Mayor Al Corti. “I think the fairgrounds should look into that as well. This may be a good test for the city and for the fairgrounds to see how that might work in the future.” Event organizers have partnered with public transit providers to offer bundled transit with admission. A free shuttle service will also be provided from the Solana Beach train station. Encouraging carpooling, attendees who arrive with three or more people in a vehicle will receive food tickets and late-night party discounts. A free bike valet will also be located near the event entrance. The safety and security of patrons, neighbors and employees is a top priority, Coleman said, so Kaaboo will have its own emergency services personnel and resources that will not be pulled from local communities. Organizers, however, are working with the San Diego Sheriff’s Department to make sure personnel are aware of and understand the plans they have in place. About 70 deputies will be available from approximately 4-11 p.m. on event days, said Pat Kerins, chief of security for the fairgrounds. Of those 70 deputies, two deputies will be assigned to Del Mar and Solana Beach to patrol the perimeter and address Kaaboo-related situations. “Having the extra patrol really allows our regular deputies to pull back from the event area and work the other areas of the town,” said City Manager Scott Huth. “So I think the combination of the two is going to give us pretty good coverage.” Security plans also address the overnight visitors who will stay at the fairgrounds. The festival will include onsite accommodations for as many as several hundred people in the infield, Coleman said. She noted that overnight visitors are paying several thousands of dollars for the accommodations. “It’s a really elevated experience and more a high-end crowd that’s going to be staying over,” she said. “The Madison Companies is well known for our commitment to working with

our neighbors to build relationships,” Coleman added. “We want to work and be collaborative with the city and with the residents, and be respectful of our surroundings as well as come up with collaborative ideas of how we can work together to mitigate the traffic, noise and safety impacts.” The event is expected to generate about $1.5 million in sales tax on merchandise, food and beverage, and vending. More than $70,000 of the revenue will go to the city of Del Mar, Coleman said. Event organizers have already booked more than 1,000 room nights in Del Mar hotels, Coleman said. Kaaboo will also employ about 2,500 people from the local area. Coleman said she expects the event not only to bring an economic boost to the community, but also raise the profile of Del Mar and the surrounding communities. A study of a similar event in Delaware, she said, contributed more than $68 million to the regional economy and created the equivalent of 579 full-time jobs. “It’s yet to be determined what Kaaboo can do,” she said, “but we’re excited to see next year what those numbers are.” The event will also benefit local charities. Organizers are donating $1 per pass and matching contributions to Kaaboo’s charitable program, “Kindness.” Funds from a silent auction at the VIP event will also benefit the program. Funds raised will benefit Feeding America San Diego, San Diego Armed Services YMCA, San Diego Music Foundation and the San Diego County Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation. Kaaboo organizers hope to donate at least $100,000, Coleman said. After hearing the presentation, resident Robin Crabtree said she was still concerned about potential impacts. She hoped the festival was successful, but she also hoped the residents had a good time, too. “We need to think out how can we make sure that the residents at least have some quality of life through these three days,” she said. Crabtree asked that event organizers hold meetings with neighbors, to which Coleman agreed. Coleman said organizers are already planning a large community meeting and would be happy to hold additional smaller community meetings. “We’d be happy to answer any of the residents’ questions or concerns and work with them as much as we can to address those concerns,” she said. A couple of local business owners said they were looking forward to the festival. “I think it’s got great opportunity for our businesses,” said KC Vafiadis. “I know that there have been many people who have had so many questions and concerns, and they have addressed every one of them,” she added. “They’ve jumped through every hoop, and I think it’s time to just let them do what they are going to do.” Greg Glassman, owner of local restaurant Zel’s Del Mar, said he thinks the festival will have a positive effect on the city. “This doesn’t appear to be a fly-by-night operation,” he said. “These guys have really thought this out, from my standpoint. I think we’ve got to give them the benefit of the doubt.” Richard Earnest, a former Del Mar mayor, who now serves as board president of the Del Mar Village Association, pointed out that the event would be a “really good test” for the Breeders’ Cup, which is headed to Del Mar in 2017. “I’d just like to thank the Kaaboo group and the fairgrounds,” said Councilman Terry Sinnott. “I feel a lot better based on a lot of the work that’s been done, but you’ve obviously heard a few of the concerns that are still out there. I’m hoping in the months ahead we can work together. “We are going to have similar events in the future, so let’s do this one right,” he added. “We’ll support you every way we can.” For questions or concerns, email communityinfo@kaaboodelmar.com. During the event, community members can also call 858-792-1104. For information about Kaaboo, visit kaaboodelmar.com.

DROUGHT SFID General Manager Michael Bardin set the stage for the discussion by noting, “This is the worst drought in state history. We’re in unprecedented territory.” In April, Gov. Jerry Brown declared a water emergency in California and ordered a statewide reduction in water use of 25 percent. Because Santa Fe has one of the highest per-capita water-use rates in the state, regulators have ordered the district to cut its use by 36 percent, or face potential fines of $10,000 per day. To achieve its targeted cutbacks, the district in May approved new mandatory water-use restrictions, including a two-day-perweek landscape irrigation schedule, and it began rationing water for the first time in its 92-year history. Santa Fe Irrigation District is also the only water agency in San Diego County to impose allocations. Under the “water allocation” plan, each household and business in the district will have a base allowance of water for indoor use, and will be required to cut outdoor use by 45 percent. The district is working on guidelines that will require less stringent cuts for commercial agricultural growers. Fines for violating the water-use rules, and penalties for using more water than the allocated amount, will be imposed. “These are severe financial penalties. We’re not interested in penalizing people, we’re just trying to get the demand down, and these are the tools to do it,” Bardin said. Under questioning by audience members, Bardin said San Diego County is not forecasting water shortages this year, because of such measures as expanded storage capacity and an ocean water desalination plant in Carlsbad set to begin operation this fall. But the governor’s order leaves local water agencies no choice but to make the cuts. “It is not fair. All of your efforts and our efforts (to conserve water) up to 2013 are being ignored. We can’t change that,” Bardin said. Officials denied that anyone is receiving favorable treatment under the new rules because every property will have the same base allowance for indoor water use, no matter how large the parcel. Bardin also said that water sources such

BUDGET

as recycling and desalination — although costly — will help, but can’t completely overcome the effects of the four-year drought. Desalination, he said, “is not a silver bullet.” However, Catherine Dickerson, a Solana Beach resident who has started a website, www.watersandiego.org, said San Diego should be held up as a model for how to deal with lower-than-normal rainfall, rather than be forced to slash its outdoor water use. “The governor is not a dictator. Because he says ‘Jump,’ we do not have to say ‘How high?’” she said. Bardin told the crowd that because of the drought, California will need to transform its landscaping habits, moving away from thirsty green lawns toward droughttolerant plants. Some in the audience agreed. “We’ve been using water that we shouldn’t expect to have. We have to make changes to live with the current realities,” said Milt Herman of Solana Beach as he left the meeting. Carol, another Solana Beach resident who declined to give her last name, said, “There is no choice. Rather than wringing my hands about something I can’t change, I am thinking about how I can comply,” she said. “And I’m praying for rain.” In an interview, Dickerson disagreed with the contention that San Diego must stop watering its lawns and gardens. “It’s like a dirty secret that San Diego has enough (water),” she said. Scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs can solve the problem with technology, whether it’s more desalination plants, expanded use of recycled water, or some other method, according to Dickerson. “I have a beautiful garden that gives me great joy, and people tell me it soothes their soul,” Dickerson said. “The governor says, ‘No. Dirt and rocks for you.’” Jessica Parks, a spokeswoman for the Santa Fe district, said more public meetings will be held on the new water-use rules and the district’s drought response, and the district will post a FAQ page on its website based on questions asked by the public at Tuesday’s town hall meeting.

The Local Control Funding Formula funding comes in base and supplemental formats. The base grant is the per-pupil amount; the supplemental grant is additional funding for those three groups. San Dieguito’s 2014-15 target for supplemental expenditures was about $950,000 and in the 2015-16 school year, the amount has grown to $1.6 million. Supplemental funding will be used to provide increased support for English learners, intervention courses for those performing below grade level, college readiness courses, professional development for teachers on strategies to support English learners, and increasing course access for all students. Superintendent Rick Schmitt said that the LCAP is the culmination of a year’s worth of work by Viloria, including surveys and meetings with various community groups. Manny Aguilar, president and board chairman of one such group, the La Colonia de Eden Gardens Foundation, addressed the board about the LCAP. The community Aguilar represents in Solana Beach recently underwent an assessment in partnership with the National Latino Research Center at Cal State San Marcos, which determined that education was the No. 1 priority for the residents. Aguilar said he wanted to ensure that his community continues to have the opportunity to provide input for the district. He said parents have concerns about their children’s transportation to school and low graduation rates. He said they want a parent center, creation and implementation of effective communication strategies, and potentially, a community liaison funded with state money — “the Spanish-speaking element, that’s what’s missing right now.” “I think there are a lot of opportunities to figure it out,” Aguilar said. “The community really does want to be a part of the solution.” Schmitt said that Viloria would continue to work with stakeholder groups like Aguilar’s and work on incorporating suggestions.

Philosopher discusses the Vedantic way to achieve purpose and direction in life

‘What’s better than surfing, rock ’n’ roll, and doing it all for charity?’

BY DIANE Y. WELCH Living is a skill that may be learned much like playing an instrument, according to the teachings of Vedantic philosophy. The more you learn about life and the more you practice the guidelines set down by Vedanta, the more you will live a life of action and peace ultimately reaching the goal of self-realization, it affirms. Acclaimed speaker Sunandaji Leelaram gave an intimate presentation about Vedanta on June 12 at the San Diego home of Manish and Shital Parikh, devotees of the ancient Indian philosophy. Leelaram is the daughter-disciple of world-renowned Swami Parthasarathy, founder of the Vedanta Academy, a residential learning center on the outskirts of Mumbai, India. Opened in 1988, it educates young people — from age 15 and up — about the Vedantic philosophy, regardless of their race, culture or religion. Her talk, “Attachment: An Eclipse on Life,” focused on the negative effects of attachment, whether to wealth, family, religion or ideology, and how critical thinking and intellectual development may combat it. Before her presentation, Leelaram spoke to this paper about Vedanta’s ancient wisdom in contemporary thought. “We are spreading the word not because it is ancient, not because it is Indian, but because it is a science of life and living and is little known,” said Leelaram. It is especially important for young people to gain this knowledge before they enter into the mainstream of their own lives, she added. “When you go to traditional schools or universi-

ties, you learn just about anything and e v e r y thing, except to live. What I’m doing now is to Sunandaji bring this Leelaram knowledge, in a little capsule, to the people here in the U.S.,” said Leelaram. Vedanta is derived from two words: “veda,” or knowledge, and “anta,” the culmination of knowledge. The path to achieving the Vedantic way of life is simple, practical and logical. It aims to create a stress-free life for devotees by developing a strong intellect through exercising the faculty of questioning and reasoning. At the residential academy, students receive materials that account for about 1 percent of their instruction, with 99 percent dedicated to self-directed efforts “to reflect on the various methods that we employ to ensure that they have the time to digest and assimilate the knowledge,” Leelaram explained. Gaining knowledge is not in itself difficult, but bringing about the transformation that creates the conversion — from knowing the philosophy to actually living it — takes time. “My father has spent over 60 years researching the subject and presenting it into a way that anyone over the age of 15 can understand,” said Leelaram. Parthasarathy, 89, a former businessman turned eminent modern philosopher, has written many books on Vedanta. He has been featured on the cover of Time Magazine, Forbes and Business Week, and has See PHILOSOPHER, page B14

BY KRISTINA HOUCK San Diego’s Switchfoot might be a Grammy-award winning band that’s sold millions of albums and toured thousands of cities around the world, but the band’s favorite time is when they give back to their hometown through the annual Switchfoot Bro-Am. “It’s the best day of the year for us,” said the band’s guitarist, Drew Shirley. “What’s better than surfing and rock ’n’ roll and doing it all for charity? We do it because we believe in the cause.” Benefiting the Switchfoot Bro-Am Foundation, the Switchfoot Bro-Am surf contest and concert is back again this year and promises to be better than ever. The July 11 lineup at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas includes Needtobreathe, Drew Holcomb & The Neighbors, Colony House, and of course, Switchfoot. The event typically brings more than 10,000 people to the beach. “I’ve watched it grow from this little organic surf contest and concert on the beach that we dreamed up 11 years ago, to a community event that’s embraced by not just the surfing and music community, but by everybody in San Diego,” said the band’s drummer, Chad Butler. “I think it’s indicative of the heart that our community has. People in San Diego know that we are so blessed to live here, and people are looking for ways to give back. This is a fun beach day that gives some really deserving causes the spotlight.” The annual event launched in 2005, after the band decided to do some-

Switchfoot plays at the Switchfoot Bro-Am surf contest and concert on July 11: “We’re a rock band, we travel the world and play music, but we have a heart for our own community.” Photo by Chris Burkard thing to give back to their hometown. Over the past decade, artists such as Jason Mraz, OK Go and Chris Shiflett from the Foo Fighters have headlined the show. “We’re a rock band, we travel the world and play music, but we have a heart for our own community,” Shirley said. “We get to visit some really cool places around the world playing music, but we always love the feeling of coming home to San Diego,” added Butler, who grew up in North County like his band mates. “As kids growing up, we felt so lucky that surfing and music kept us out of trouble,” he said. “We looked for a way to involve our two favorite passions in one day, to do something bigger than ourselves, to do something good and rally the community together.” Since its inception, the Bro-Am has raised more than $1 million for San Diegobased children’s charities. Last year’s event was the most successful to date, netting $140,000 for 2014 beneficiaries. “That’s the San Diego community, and the generosity of people that have gotten behind the event,” Butler said.

“We owe this event to the community for making it what it is today,” added Shirley. The 2015 events will benefit the Switchfoot Bro-Am Foundation, which the members of Switchfoot recently created to continue their mission of giving back to the local community through music, surfing and youth development programs throughout the year. Some of this year’s beneficiaries include A Step Beyond, which offers dance education, academic support and family services for underserved youth and their families, as well as Doors of Change, which provides free music lessons to homeless youth. Event proceeds will also benefit the Encinitas Youth Scholarship Program, Surf Industry Manufacturers Association and StandUp for Kids. “This is a really fun way to get involved, and raise money and resources for these organizations, but also awareness in the community,” Butler said. Because the event is free, most of the funds will be raised three days earlier, during the annual auction night soiree at a priSee SWITCHFOOT, page B14

Bottles & Wood creates beauty, utility from discarded items BY KRISTINA HOUCK Turning trash into treasure, Zelda Waxenberg of Del Mar has upped the concept of recycling to “upcycling.â€? She and business partner, Steve Cherry, created Bottles & Wood, a San Diego-based company that converts bottles, wood and other locally sourced waste into high-quality products. “It’s taking recycling to a different level, truly upcycling by repurposing items that were destined for the landfill,â€? said Waxenberg, co-founder and president of the company. “We’re keeping things out of the landfill and creating beautiful products.â€? Bottles & Wood stems from BottleHood, a San Diego-based business Cherry founded in 2009 that focused on repurposing wine, beer, liquor and soda bottles. In 2014, Cherry, who has more than 35 years of experience in tech startups, partnered with Waxenberg, a local entrepreneur and philanthropist, to relaunch his original concept as Bottles & Wood. The company is focused on using reclaimed materials to design and build products for the gift, hospitality, home dĂŠcor and beverage promotions industries. Last July, the pair opened a 5,000-square-foot factory showroom and manufacturing facility in Clairemont Mesa, where Bottles & Wood creates handcrafted home dĂŠcor, serving ware, light fixtures, jewelry and more. “Everything comes locally,â€? said Waxenberg, who has lived in Del Mar for more than 30 years. “We have relationships with a lot of hotels, restaurants, breweries and wineries.â€? A self-described “ambassador for sustainability,â€? Waxenberg said Bottles & Wood not only creates jobs and products,

but also promotes environmental education. Through the company, she enjoys supporting local nonprofits by donating gift baskets for special events. Bottles & Wood has supported a variety of local organizations, including the Del Mar Community Connections, the Del Mar Lifeguards and the Del Mar Village Association. “I enjoy getting to be the ambassador — talking to a lot of people and Zelda Waxenberg of Del making connections,� she Mar co-created Bottles & said. “Our products truly Wood, a San Diego amaze me.� company that converts Through a partnerbottles, wood and other ship with Urban Corps, Bottles & Wood also goods into high-quality shares the value of upcyproducts.

CV baby boomer seeking next stage of life finds it in writing book

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KRISTINA HOUCK After losing both his parents and his older brother, Rick Bava left a career in the corporate world in search of his life’s next stage. His curiosity led to him to chronicle the baby boom generation, which he covers in his debut book, “In Search of the Baby Boomer Generation.” “I started to travel around the country in search of myself,” Bava said. “When all was said and done, I found the answer to a generation.” Released June 12, “In Search of the Baby Boomer Generation” takes an up-close look at the baby boomers, the post–World War II generation born between 1946 and 1964, to which Bava belongs. “Hundreds of baby boomers’ input is reflected in the commentary of my book,” Bava said. “The book really reads as if you’re sitting across from someone at their kitchen table discussing where you’ve been, where you are and where you’re going as a baby boomer.” Born in Chicago in December 1955, Bava went to the University of Wisconsin–Madison, at the age of 16, on a tennis scholarship. While studying, he advanced to play tennis on a professional level and later became a tennis instructor. Bava earned a bachelor’s degree in communications with an emphasis in business at UW-Madison and later went on to take graduate courses at Harvard University Extension School before beginning his business career. He had a 30-year corporate career in computers, with many years in the computer services division of the Boeing Company. He later founded the Bava Group, a communications consulting firm that served Fortune 500 companies. When Bava lost his parents and brother, he left the corporate world and began searching for an “encore career,” work that combines continued income, greater personal meaning and social impact. “When you look at my life since I left college, it really falls into three categories,” said Bava, who has lived in Carmel Valley since 2012. He previously lived in Del Mar. “It falls in the category of a young tennis player, and then the corporate world, and now, the encore career. You do something not only for the benefit of making a living, but to make a contribution to society.” While contemplating his next stage in life, Bava began traveling around the country in 2009. During his travels, he noticed a void in the way the baby boomer generation’s story was being told, so he began to seek out their stories. For more than two years, Bava traveled the country and talked with hundreds of boomers. From baseball games to grocery stores, Bava talked with people at a variety of places across many states. At one point, he took a train across the United States and talked with baby boomers in the dining car. He also met a Santa Barbara couple looking to rent a room in their home. He ended up staying with them for a month, and profiles the couple in his book. “That’s just one of many, many stories,” Bava said. “I immersed myself with baby boomers from all walks of life and socio-economic classes. I spent time with people in their

homes and I discussed the issues most germane to baby boomers. “The issues ended up being the same,” he added. “You could have been a millionaire or someone who couldn’t put two nickels together, and a lot of the issues became constant.” After finishing his interviews, Bava launched a blog in 2011, at the suggestion of his best friend. The success of the blog eventually led to Bava’s first book. He began writing the monthly column, “The Baby Boomer Corner,” in Today’s Carmel Valley author Rick Bava has written “In Search of Senior Magazine and became associated with the national- the Baby Boom Generation” (Motivational Press). ly syndicated Boomer Nation! radio show. “When I got finished traveling around the country, I had a lot of data,” Bava said. “Between the columns and what originally was the blog, it just seemed like it was natural to lend it to a book.” Published by Motivational Press, the 278-page book covers topics of importance to baby boomers and includes some of Bava’s most popular columns. Some of the topics include caring for elderly parents, Social Security and Medicare, health and fitness, second careers, retirement, estate planning and more. As a baby boomer, Bava said he often agreed with much of what he was told. “I have my own unique experiences as a baby boomer, so that provided the baseline, and there’s a lot of my own storyline weaved into the book,” he said. “But I did find a consistency of issues.” Bava hopes baby boomers will identify with what they read in his book. Although the book is geared for them, he added that younger generations have also expressed interest and gained insight from the book. “I’m proud of the book, and I’m hoping that baby Boomers, if they read it, they’ll be proud of it, too,” Bava said.

It’s ‘Twelfth Night’ at Old Globe for lunacy, laughter and love BY DIANA SAENGER What happens when a ship wrecks off the rocky coast of Illyria is fun, intriguing and proves some will do anything for true love. Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night” returns to The Old Globe, directed by Rebecca Taichman, through July 26. Viola (Rutina Wesley), disguised as a boy, Cesario, was on the ship with her brother, Sebastian (LeRoy McClain). Once on land she finds a job, a friend and a new beau — her boss, Duke Orsino (Terence Archie). Bliss soon fades as Viola realizes Orsino is pursuing a young beauty named Olivia (Sara Topham). But things really get topsy-turvy when Olivia sets her eyes on Cesario, not knowing he is really Viola. There’s more mischief about as servant Maria (Amy Aquino) decides to partner with drunkard Sir Toby Belch (Tom McGowan) to get revenge on Malvolio (Robert Joy), another servant whom Maria finds presumptuous. Wesley said she’s always wanted to play a character like Viola because “Viola is incredibly witty, and disguised as a man, she’s as good as the next guy and always has a comeback. She’s strong, yet she can be incredibly vulnerable. She’s a survivor who has a lot of heart and is a voice of reason. “One of my favorite scenes is when Cesario is making moves toward Olivia, and I’m on scene as Viola. It gets very confusing, but it was so fun to do. Almost every time we rehearsed there was something different happening.

“The costumes are beautiful, the set design is wonderful, there’s lots of different scenes and crazy stuff, and the cast is just amazing,” Wesley said. “Rebecca has been wonderful guiding us, but above all, it’s Shakespeare. I just adore his work, and it’s a pleasure to just dive in and do it.” “Twelfth Night,” runs through July 26 at the Lowell Davies Festival Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park. Tickets from $29 at 619-234-5623; visit TheOldGlobe.org.

RSF Boots, Bridles and Barns tour opens the gates July 11 to upscale equine estates BY DIANE Y. WELCH In a break from tradition, the Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society’s annual fundraising summer home tour has been transformed into a tour of five fine equine estates. The Boots, Bridles and Barns tour will take place from 1:30-5 p.m. July 11. These equine facilities are some of the most upscale in the nation and are home to pleasure, hunter/ jumper and dressage horses. The five locations, on multimillion-dollar estates in Rancho Santa Fe, are being kept under wraps until the day of the tour to add an element of mystery, according to Peggy Brooks, tour co-chairman. At check-in time, attendees will receive a tour booklet where all will be re- The estates on the tour are some of the most upscale in the nation, said Peggy vealed. Each facility is architecturally designed. Brooks, tour co-chairman. “I’ve been around horses all my life, and this (tour) takes the cake,” said Brooks. “These truly are five-star equine accommodations on magnificent properties.” One of the facilities has a horse spa along with two treadmills, “because the horses like to look at each other while exercising,” said Joanne Fishman, Historical Society vice president. Check-in begins at 11 a.m. at the Historical Society headquarters at La Flecha House, at 6036 La Flecha, in the ranch village. The early check-in time will give guests an opportunity to have refreshments or lunch first in nearby eateries before departure. Designated buses will take tour guests to each barn, where volunteer docents will serve as guides and give the story of each facility. The bus schedule is designed to fit the pace of each attendee, circulating back to La Flecha House to pick up guests along the way. The tour concludes at 5:30 p.m., but the event continues. A “Hoedown” party has been planned in the village after the tour, where food and drink may be purchased, with live music, dancing and live and silent auction. “We have some fabulous auction items,” said Fishman.

Get Your Legs Ready for Summer As May draws to a close, that can only mean one thing here in San Diego county: beach season! But as many of us get out our summer clothes and go swimsuit shopping, there is a large percentage of people who are hesitant to slip into their shorts and expose their legs due to unpleasant spider veins. Spider veins are red or blue jagged veins that resemble spider webs close to the surface of the skin.

If you are one of those people who finds themselves self-conscious about bearing your legs in public due to these spider veins, there is an easy solution. Educating yourself about the causes of these veins, and more importantly, about the amazing technology we now have to eliminate these veins in a quick, painless fashion, could make your legs summer-ready in no time! Causes There are multiple causes of spider veins, and while many can be prevented, some are unavoidable: s PREGNANCY s HEREDITY s WEIGHT GAIN OBESITY s LIFESTYLES REQUIRING PROLONGED sitting or standing s HORMONE CHANGES INCLUDING USE of some birth control pills

s INJURIES OR CONDITIONS OF INCREASED pressure on the abdomen s HISTORY OF BLOOD CLOTS s EXCESSIVE EXPOSURE TO THE SUN Treatment The two main forms of treatment are sclerotherapy and laser vein removal. Both are easy, pain-free solutions for unsightly spider veins: Sclerotherapy: this is a simple procedure where a small amount of solution is injected into the damaged veins (a small needle is used, similar to that of a Botox injection). The solution causes the vein to collapse and then the body will naturally eliminate it. Laser vein removal: this is also a noninvasive, simple procedure involving a laser that eradicates the superficial vein. This is a pain-free solution as we use a laser that has a patented cryogen cooling system that

anesthetizes the skin before, during, and after treatment. Both sclerotherapy and laser vein removal are out-patient procedures. Patients are able to drive themselves home and return to their daily activities. There are essentially no risks or side-effects involved either. In some cases, there may be some mild swelling, but this naturally goes away in a couple days. Don’t let spider veins get in the way of trading in those jeans for shorts this summer or prevent you from showing off that new swimsuit. There are quick, simple solutions to get your legs ready for summer! If you’d like meet with one of our doctors who specialize in vein health, please don’t hesitate to contact our offices at 760-944-9263 or visit us at www.sdveininstitute.com.

Second Chance is a nonprofit dedicated to creating opportunities for people to transform their lives through job readiness and life skills training, job placement, behavioral health and prisoner re-entry services, relapse prevention and sober-living housing for adults and youth in need. “Much like Second Chance clients, following her incarceration Kerman was able to reenter the world she now succeeds in, which is why we are honored to have her present at our benefit this fall,” said Second Chance president and CEO Robert Coleman. “Our hope is that guests walk away from this event with a better understanding of the realities behind prison bars and what is being done on a daily basis at Second Chance to improve our community.” Besides Kerman’s presentation, the event includes cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, live music, an original one-act play based on true stories of Second Chance clients, and a presentation from Second Chance graduates.

vate Olivenhain estate. The evening will feature a live performance by Switchfoot, silent and live auctions, opportunity drawings, and food and drinks. “It’s really a fun gathering of the community,” Butler said. “It’s just an incredible evening.” As in recent years, this year’s surf contest and concert will be streamed online, allowing viewers around the world to tune in and catch the Bro-Am action live. For the first time in Bro-Am history, however, an online auction will allow fans to bid for unique items. The online auction will run June 28 to July 11. “There’s a chance for people all over

the country and around the world to get involved, donate and bid on some really cool packages,” Butler said. Tickets to the auction night soiree cost $185. VIP tickets cost $260 and include a meet and greet reception with Switchfoot. The surf contest will take place 7 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. July 11 at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas. The concert will run from noon to 5 p.m. A free shuttle will be available from San Dieguito Academy. Parking is also available at Encinitas City Hall.

PHILOSOPHER

continued from page B1

spoken at several international business schools. Based on the Vedas — the sacred scriptures of India — Vedanta affirms the oneness of existence, the divinity of the soul and the harmony of religions. In modern society, it is a common goal to be successful, dynamic and progressive, while also striving to be peaceful, happy and content. “But we see celebrities that seemingly have everything they want, yet they are lost — and on the other hand we see cheerful, happy-go-lucky people who are by no means achievers. It seems idealistic to say, ‘How can you be successful and happy at the same time?’” asked Leelaram rhetorically. The Vedantic philosophy aims to bring that about, rendering one free from negative emotions while providing clarity of purpose and direction in life. “You’ve got to investigate it and find

out if there is any truth in the statement that this is a whole philosophy that gives you the technique of right action so that you can be successful and at the same time find peace within yourself,” said Leelaram. As an introduction to Vedanta, Leelaram recommends four books written by Swami Parthasarathy: “The Fall of the Human Intellect,” “The Holocaust of Attachment,” “Governing Business and Relationships,” and “The Eternities: Vedanta Treatise,” famed for being the seminal work on Vedantic philosophy. There are also classes held by academy alumni in San Diego and Los Angeles and newly introduced e-learning online courses, along with the three-year residential course in India. To find out more about Vedanta, visit http://vedantaworld.org. For details about online learning, send an email to elearning@ vedantaworld.org.

CVMS promotion rolls break record BY GLORIA LIMAS A record number — 791 — of eighthgrade students were promoted to high school from Carmel Valley Middle School this year, the largest number to date. “These students will move on to accomplish amazing feats in their lives,” said Principal Cara Dolnik. “I’m inspired by what their collective lives hold for the future.” The school wind ensemble performed, and Dalia Moutal sang the national anthem. Principal Cara Dolnik and Assistant Emmie Yao led the Pledge of Allegiance. Speakers were Melanie Limas An, Peter Principal Robert Shockney Pierre Thomas and Amrita Vetticaden. San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent Rick Schmitt and board member John Salazar were also present.

The more the berrier: Soiree for sustainable kindred spirits BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN “Don’t eat anything incapable of rotting.” —Michael Pollan Last week, the sustainable community came out in full force to delight in the sixth annual food extravaganza, “A Berry Good Night.” The locavore soiree, at the coastal estate of food activist Michelle Lerach, was a gathering of socially conscious soulmates from creative chefs, dedicated organic produce and dairy farmers, ranchers, purveyors and artisans to vintners, brewmasters, coffee brewers, gelato meisters, and trailblazers rubbing elbows, picking berries, breaking GMO-free bread together, while sharing business and environmental challenges and a common vision. This year, Michelle announced a special mission: the launch of the Berry Good Food Foundation, a collaborative gathering of movers and shakers who could exert political clout on the powers that be to support and nurture the sustainable food movement. The Foundation is also geared up to educate the public about the value of

“real” food agriculture — grown organically without pesticides and other toxins, along with humane and safe animal husbandry practices, free of growth hormones and antibiotics for the health of people and the planet. The foundation members include chairwoman Lerach, president Catt White of farmers market fame, publishing mogul Riley Davenport (Edible San Diego magazine), craft beer king Greg Koch (CEO/cofounder Stone Brewing Co.), and Deborah Székely, founder of the world-class health retreat Rancho La Puerta in Tecate, Mexico. Back at the seaside soiree, every scrumptious ingredient at the interactive

Behind the scenes, major players providing fresh delectables were the bounty of family-owned organic farmers, ranchers and fishmongers who also offer their edible wares at assorted farmers markets around town and natural food locales including Jimbo’s, Whole Foods Market and Specialty Produce. Keep these local gems on your organic radar screen: Stehly Farms growing 40 classic SoCal crops, such as Valencia oranges, lemons and Hass avocados; Be Wise Ranch in the Rancho Bernardo/Escondido region, offering 50 varieties of produce from Technicolor heirloom tomatoes and fresh herbs to strawberries and cherries; Suzie’s Farm summer calling card of 20 varieties of peppers; Seabreeze Organic Farm in south Carmel Valley grow-
