San Dieguito district discusses options to ensure campus safety BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union School District board talked school safety at its July 16 meeting after concerns expressed by trustee Mo Muir. Muir was bothered, she said, to hear rumors about the drug culture at La Costa Canyon and San Dieguito Academy high schools. She wanted to hear what steps the district is taking to keep schools a safe environment for kids after hearing about students using drugs on campus in the bathrooms or in the school parking lot. “I feel like we should be proactive and not reactive

… I’m concerned about what’s happening,” Muir said. Over the years, Superintendent Rick Schmitt said the district has tried many things in efforts to make schools safe and free from drugs and alcohol, from drug-sniffing dogs in 1995 to having 10 campus supervisors after the Columbine shooting in 1999, where now campuses have just one. The increased supervisors didn’t make a difference, Schmitt said, and the drug-sniffing dogs ended up

Council approves temporary Solana Beach district discusses location for Del Mar City Hall possible bond issue for 2016 ballot BY KRISTINA HOUCK As plans for the city’s new civic center complex move forward, so do plans for a temporary home for city hall. The Del Mar City Council on July 20 voted 4-0 in favor of a staff proposal to temporarily relocate city hall to modular buildings in the lower parking lot of Del Mar Shores Park. Councilman Don Mosier was absent from the vote. “When you look at all we’ve been doing and what are our options, this has the least impact on the community,” said Councilman Terry Sinnott. Del Mar’s current facilities at 1050 Camino del Mar will be demolished in early 2016, with the new city hall and town hall under construction in mid-2016. City administrative offices and council chambers will be temporarily relocated during that time for approximately 30 months. In April, the city issued a request for proposals to secure temporary facilities in Del Mar. The city did not receive any proposals for existing office space, but received two proposals for modular buildings that meet the required square footage. With limited land available in Del Mar, city staff recommended modular buildings be placed in the lower parking lot at Shores Park. “We believe that the use of the Shores location is not inconsistent with any prior council actions regarding the Shores Park,” said Assistant City Manager Mark Delin. “We believe that it’s consistent with the city’s policy of making the best possible use of the property and it will not impair the use of the Shores Park for any purpose.” Some community members, however, disagreed with the city. In a letter to the city, several homeowners of Stratford Pines objected to the relocation of city hall to Shores Park. The letter cited a variety of impacts to the residential neighborhood and suggested other alternatives. Robert Hajek, a local attorney and author of the letter, questioned whether other options were fully explored. “I’m not saying that a reasonable job wasn’t done, but there’s no backup in the community to determine that,” Hajek said prior to the council’s vote. “No one knows what’s really gone on here tonight. To approve this, I think, would be fundamentally wrong.” City staff determined that the Shores Park lower parking lot is the most appropriate site for the interim use because it offers a conveniently accessible, centralized location with the lowest installation costs. The temporary buildings would be located directly on top of the site formerly occupied by the Del Mar Union School District maintenance building that the city had demolished and removed two years ago. Therefore, the buildings would take advantage of the existing in-ground plumbing facilities to reduce costs. See CITY HALL, page 22
BY KRISTINA HOUCK With improvements needed at local schools and election season around the corner, the Solana Beach School District is exploring whether to place a general obligation bond on the ballot in 2016. “We have great confidence in our ability to provide parity of instruction. Our teachers across the board are doing a great job,” said newly appointed Superintendent Terry Decker during the July 16 board meeting — his first as head of the district. “But when we look at Solana Ranch or Solana Pacific compared to Skyline or Solana Vista, can we really say we have parity of facilities?” Founded in 1925, the Solana Beach School District has seven elementary schools and a child development center. In the fall, the district opened its seventh school, Solana Ranch Elementary School in Pacific Highlands Ranch. Other schools, however, opened decades ago and need to be updated. Skyline School in Solana Beach, for example, was constructed in phases between 1955 and 1961 and was modernized in 2000. In 2011, the district initiated its facilities master plan process, developing a comprehensive list of projects to support and complement the district’s educational goals. The district hired HMC Architects to assist in the plan’s development. Along with the advisers, a committee of board members, administrators, teachers, staff and parents was formed to help with the process. The plan was presented to the board during a board workshop in May 2013. The plan calls for improvements to all schools, with the most significant projects
being the modernization of Skyline and Solana Vista — the district’s oldest schools. It also calls for the replacement of temporary buildings at school sites. Only nine of the 31 classrooms at Solana Vista, for example, are in permanent buildings, said Caroline Brown, the district’s director of technology and new facilities. The document has been updated in recent months, adding limited improvements and long-term goals for even the district’s newest schools, including Solana Ranch and Solana Pacific, a Carmel Valley school that was constructed in 2004. The board would need a two-thirds vote to place a Proposition 39 general obligation bond on the ballot in June 2016 or November 2016. The district’s project list must be specified in the bond measure, which would require a 55 percent approval from the voters. Exploring whether to pursue a general obligation bond, the board in January heard an informational report from TELACU Construction Management regarding the history of general obligation bonds and how the district would pursue such a measure. TELACU, which further discussed bonds with the board in April, is serving as the district’s technical advisers on the planning and implementation of a potential bond measure. “You’re well ahead of schedule,” said Jay Bell, senior vice president of TELACU, during the recent meeting. TELACU will return to the board in August to give a presentation on the district’s financial capacity. The board will discuss polling in September.

Irrigation district suspends San Dieguito approves expanded water-use violation fines for 45 days high school athletic trainer contract BY JOE TASH The Santa Fe Irrigation District has decided not to fine its customers for violating water-use restrictions for the next 45 days, and also relaxed some of the mandatory water-saving rules put in place in May as a response to the ongoing California drought. The suspension of fines — which were increased in May as part of the district’s effort to encourage water conservation — will allow officials time to establish clear and fair procedures for carrying out the water-use cutbacks demanded by Gov. Jerry Brown, said Santa Fe’s general manager Michael Bardin. Over the past few months, a flurry of new rules and regulations has been developed at both the state and local level, and the district needs time to properly put those rules into effect. “We’re trying to fix the car while we’re driving down the highway at 100 miles per hour,� Bardin said at the July 16 meeting of the Irrigation District’s board of directors. Santa Fe’s five-member board unanimously approved Bardin’s proposal to suspend the fines for up to 45 days, meaning the district won’t be assessing penalties for violations of water-use restrictions until about the beginning of September. “Let’s take the time to do this right,� said director Greg Gruzdowich. Under the fine structure approved by
BY KAREN BILLING San Dieguito Union High School District board voted 3-2 to increase the level of certified athletic trainer services at its four high schools. The board extended its contract with Rehab United Sports Medicine and Physical Therapy through 2018, increasing the level of service and the contract amount from $126,152 to $165,000 a year. For the first time since 2009, the district will be paying for these services out of the general fund rather than asking for donations to support the program from the
the board in May, first-time violators will receive a warning letter. A second violation within a 12-month period carries a $250 fine, which goes up to $500 for a third violation and $1,000 for a fourth violation. On Thursday, the board decided against adopting a potential fine of up to $10,000 for a fifth violation within one year, which is allowed by state legislation passed in June. The district could also install a flow restrictor or cut off water service for chronic violators. During the suspension period, district staff will continue to tag residences where violations, such as watering on prohibited days or leaky irrigation systems, are observed, said district spokeswoman Jessica Parks. The board also made changes Thursday to the water-use restrictions under its Level 3 drought response plan, which was also enacted in May along with water “allocations,� which give each household and business a monthly water allowance. Using more than the allotment will result in penalties, which will begin to show up on customers’ bills in September. While district customers are required to water no more than twice a week on proscribed days and times with automatic sprinkler systems, the board decided that watering with a bucket or hand-held hose will be allowed at any time. A prohibition against washing cars in
high school foundations. Trustees Mo Muir and John Salazar voted against the Rehab United contract. Eric Dill, associate superintendent of business services, said that the agreement has expanded in scope to cover the growth of the athletic program (22 sports in total), additional hours, added a fifth trainer to cover absences or gaps in coverage, and to provide additional support such as strength and conditioning and nutrition should the teams request it. Superintendent Rick Schmitt said askSee CONTRACT, page 22
District revises 2015-16 instructional calendar BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District board was able to change its instructional calendar at its July 16 meeting, ending the 2015-16 school year on the traditional Friday rather than a Thursday. The change was prompted in part by parent Marielle Bravo-Saltzman, a three-year member of the Grad Nite committee at Canyon Crest Academy, who started an online petition on change.org in favor of changing the district calendar. The Grad Nite party at all district high schools provides a safe, alcohol and drug-free environment for students to celebrate graduation with friends, starting at 10 p.m. and ending at 5 a.m. the next morning. Bravo-Saltzman said the biggest repercussion of having school end on a Thursday would be in schools’ ability to get the more than 100 volunteers necessary to put on the party, as many parents would not be able to volunteer because of work schedules. “A Friday graduation (party) makes it easier for families to celebrate this important milestone,� said parent Jennifer McDowell. The change was also possible as there have been significant changes to the district’s

After 30 years, local author celebrates ‘overnight’ success BY ANTOINETTE KURITZ AND JARED KURITZ Michelle Gable is nothing if not determined. She started writing in the fourth grade and saw her first book, “A Paris Apartment,� debut just shy of her 40th birthday — and it went on to become a national bestseller, something rare for a new author. Gable still holds a day job, and she fits in her writing between shuffling her kids to their various sports and making lunches. An avid Charger and Aztec fan, she lives locally with her husband and kids. Recently, she took the time to answer a few questions for us. When did you know you wanted to be a writer, and when did you actually put pen to paper? When I was 10 years old, my father gave me a book called “Someday You’ll Write.� My parents re-gifted this same book to me at the launch of “A Paris Apartment� — which was a few weeks shy of my 40th birthday. So in the 30 years between, I wrote — and wrote and wrote. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t want to be a writer. You have a family, a day job, and all the distractions that go with both. When do you write? Whenever I can! I am an early bird, and get up at 5 or 5:30 every morning. I have daily and weekly word count goals and the trick is to get them in, whether that means before dawn, or while the kids are getting ready for school, or as I’m waiting for dinner to finish cooking. My daughters play competitive softball, and this time of year we can have anywhere from six to 12 games in a weekend, many out of town. I wrote my second book last summer during All Stars, by hand and in pencil between games! You would’ve seen me scribbling away in the car, behind the dugout, you name it! I’m working on copy edits for book #2 now and I had the manuscript with me for three games today. How long did you work towards your ‘overnight’ success? Nearly 30 years! And I was with my agent for five years before she sold a book to a publisher. I’m so grateful she stuck with me through the ups and downs and the heartbreak. It has been said that 81 percent of Americans think they have a book in them. What would it take for them to become writers? Determination and persistence. And daily word count goals help too! I believe 90 percent of the secret to getting published is to a) finish the book(s) and b) never give up. Let those rejections roll right off ! It’s also important to study the industry. It’s a business, and a would-be writer needs to understand how it works. How many rejections did you receive before finding an agent? Oh gosh, I don’t remember. Probably 35-40? I read that your agent actually turned you on to the story that is the basis of “A Paris Apartment.� How did that come about? News about the abandoned Parisian apartment on which my book is based became
public in late 2010. I was still smarting from a rather brutal letdown ‌ we’d had a failed auction for a previous manuscript. While five different editors loved the book, it was “too hard to sell a debut author.â€? I was crushed, because although I could keep writing book after book, how was I going to get over the “debut authorâ€? hurdle? Then my agent sent me an article about the apartment and wrote, “There is something AWESOME and haunting about this story and I think you should file it away for a book at some point.â€? And I Author Michelle Gable has written “A Paris Apartment,â€? agreed! which became a national bestseller, something rare for a What do you recommend a writer look for in new author. Courtesy photo an agent? Someone who represents your genre is key! Then that person must be crazy enthusiastic about your work. Because as much rejection as you’re going to face, the agent is being “rejectedâ€? too. They need to feel so assured of your long-term success that they’ll press on undeterred, just as my agent did through five years. On top of that, it’s crucial to find someone you “connectâ€? with in some indefinable but true way. Agents all take the same commission rate, so it’s not about economics. It’s about the right fit and enthusiasm for a project. I love the first line of “A Paris Apartment.â€? How important are first lines in books? Thank you so much! And I think first lines are very important but even more so are the first few chapters. Many readers will abandon a book if they’re not sucked in by page 10 or 20. How does a setting serve as a character in a novel? For “A Paris Apartment,â€? the city and the apartment itself loom large in the tale.

Lung Cancer Foundation of America’s ‘Day at the Races’ returns to Del Mar BY KRISTINA HOUCK With racing back in season at the Del Mar Racetrack, so is the Lung Cancer Foundation of America’s “Day at the Races.” Don Diamont of “The Bold and the Beautiful” is joining the organization for its sixth annual awareness and fundraising event Sunday, July 26, at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. “‘The Bold and the Beautiful’s’ continued support has been incredible,” said Kim Norris, co-founder and president of the Lung Cancer Foundation of America. Last year, Diamont’s former co-star, Susan Flannery, joined the organization’s “Day at the Races” at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Her character, Stephanie Forrester, battled the disease on “The Bold and the Beautiful.” “The Bold and the Beautiful” was praised for its authentic portrayal of lung cancer in 2010, when Flannery’s character was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer and underwent treatments. On Feb. 7, 2011, during the 6,000th episode of the CBS series, the show featured several real-life lung cancer survivors, including the late actress Kathryn
Joosten and Dr. Michael Weitz, a lung cancer patient advocate and lung cancer survivor since 2006. “It was eye-opening for me,” said Diamont, who has portrayed Bill Spencer, Jr. on “The Bold and the Beautiful” for seven years. He previously worked on “The Young and the Restless” for about 25 years. “I, like a lot of people, associated lung cancer with smokers,” he said. “To realize the incredibly high percentage of people that are non-smokers and get lung cancer is just incredibly eyeopening. It’s a key message to get out there. That stigma clearly affects people’s perspective on donating and getting the word out.” Added Norris, “It really helped us get the word out that this is not a one-to-one relationship between lung cancer and smoking. Because of the cultural stigma that’s attached to it, it really does impact the opportunity to fundraise.” Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death and the second most common cancer among both men and women in the United States, yet it ranks near the bottom in research funding. “It kills more than breast, prostate, colon and
Don Diamont pancreatic cancers combined, yet it gets a fraction of the funding,” Norris noted. To raise awareness of lung cancer and funds for research, Norris co-founded the Lung Cancer Foundation of America in 2007 with David Sturges, an attorney in Minnesota, and Lori Monroe, a registered nurse in Kentucky — both lung cancer survivors. After a 12year battle with the disease, Monroe died in 2013. “It is a painful death to watch. Most family members just want to put it behind them and forget about it,” said Norris, who devoted her life to being a lung cancer patient advocate after losing her husband, Roy, at age 47 to lung cancer in 1999. “We aim to engage those people that have been

Courtesy photos touched by this disease.” “Day at the Races” is one of the foundation’s annual fundraisers, bringing together advocates, survivors and supporters at the Del Mar Racetrack. Proceeds benefit lung cancer research. The Lung Cancer Foundation of America has raised about $1.8 million for lung cancer research since it first launched. “It’s just a fun day,” Norris said. “It’s also a celebration. There are some very exciting new research discoveries happening that are directly impacting the survival of lung cancer. I’m excited and I’m hopeful. I really feel we are on the precipice of really making a difference in the survival rate of this disease — but it still takes funding.”
The sixth annual “Day at the Races” will take place from noon to 6:30 p.m. July 26 in the Il Palio Restaurant at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. Races begin at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $150 and include entry into the private Turf Club, a tour of the paddock area and a private betting window. The event will also feature a special “Breath of Life” race to raise awareness about lung cancer and support lung cancer research, as well as a silent auction and raffle drawing.

SB community asked for input on proposed art BY KRISTINA HOUCK Solana Beach could soon have a new public art piece. Community members are encouraged to give their input on the proposed piece for the city’s Coastal Rail Trail. Sponsored by the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society’s Seaweeders Garden Club, the piece would transform a dead Torrey pine into a lively piece of public art. If approved, local woodworking artist Tim Richards would carve a pelican, fish and kelp into the stump. “I got this idea of having a pelican swimming on top of this log,” explained Richards, who came up with the concept. “All around it would be like a water scene with local surf fish and kelp.” An Encinitas resident, Richards recently carved a Torrey pine stump in Del Mar into the “Sunset Seat,” a wooden bench with an attached red-tailed hawk. In 2011, he carved his first public piece, turning a beetle-damaged Torrey pine into a tiki head statue at Swami’s Beach in Encinitas. “This would be my third one visible from the Coast Highway,” he said. “That’s three right in a row — Encinitas, Solana Beach and Del Mar. That’s pretty cool.” A 30-day public review period for the project and its design is open through Aug. 11. For information or to submit a comment, contact Anita Edman at 858-7202454.

sense, really, as we are all influenced by the places we’ve lived. It is said writers are readers. Who are your favorite authors? Yes, writers are readers and I am a reader first! I probably go through 100 books per year in a variety of genres. My favorite authors are John Irving, T. Greenwood, Amanda Eyre Ward, Chris Bohjalian, Lily King, Ann Patchett, J. Courtney Sullivan, and Beatriz Williams. What qualities would you ascribe to most authors? That’s a tough one! I think, again, determination is central to any author because it is really difficult to finish a novel, regardless of whether it ever sells. Merely typing “the end” is an enormous accomplishment. Beyond that, I’m not sure. I work in finance and some would accuse me of being “Type A” (I argue that I “go with the flow” — but flows can be fast-moving!). I also do a lot of presentations for work, so am comfortable in public and in large crowds. Talking to a lot of my author friends, these are not common traits. You are now a nationally best-selling author with a second book underway. How is writing different now? Well for one, I’m writing under contract! Which is awesome and daunting at the same time. When you’re unpublished, you can write whatever the heck you want. Mystery? YA? Sci Fi? Sure, why not? I was so nervous
when I turned in my second book because what if she didn’t like it? Or didn’t think the tone was right? She loved it, thank goodness, but this was a big change for me. I also have to be a lot more methodical, as my deadlines are now “real” versus self-imposed. It’s still weird to think that strangers are reading my book! Cindy Crawford tweeted about it and I’m not even kidding when I say my first thought was, “Does Cindy Crawford know my mother?!” What is the best writing advice you ever received — and from whom? Stop in the middle of writing something (a scene, a paragraph) so it’s easier to pick back up the next day. Hemingway did this and it is my #1 trick. What is your best advice for aspiring authors? Keep going! Finish the book. Research the market. Find out what path you’re taking and how that path is going to look. And never give up. If the first book doesn’t sell, write another, and another, and another after that. Always be writing something new. Even when your book is out there! Never obsess over the rejections or bad reviews (which I personally don’t read). Keep moving forward. Antoinette Kuritz and Jared Kuritz are the team behind both STRATEGIES Public Relations and the La Jolla Writer’s Conference (www.lajollawritersconference.com).

Iron Mike Paddle in memory of lifeguard set for Aug. 15 in SB BY KRISTINA HOUCK In memory of their fellow lifeguard, Solana Beach lifeguards are inviting the community to the third annual Iron Mike Paddle on Aug. 15 at Fletcher Cove. The five-mile paddleboard race, surfing contest and outdoor festival is in honor of late Solana Beach lifeguard Mike McKay, who died when he was 23 in an avalanche at Mountain High Ski Resort in January 2008. “We want to pay tribute to him and do something for the community,” said Solana Beach Marine Safety Sgt. Greg Uruburu, who served as McKay’s supervisor. “He was a real community-based guy.” A longtime resident of Wrightwood, Calif., McKay was an emergency medical technician, lead ski patroller and lifeguard. He was pursuing his master’s degree in psychology at National University in La Jolla at the time of his death. Above: Mike McKay. Launched in 2013, the Iron Mike Paddle is a celebration Below: Laura McKay, of McKay’s life and love of the outdoors. McKay was a natu- Hannah McKay and Vince ral athlete.

He was everyone’s friend.” Although McKay was only a Solana Beach lifeguard for one season, his service left an impact on the department. In the summer of 2007, McKay was honored as the department’s “Rookie of the Year.” “For all of us supervisors, it was a no-brainer, right off the bat,” said Uruburu, an Encinitas resident who started with the Solana Beach department as a seasonal lifeguard in 2001. “He was a genuinely good person and a genuinely good lifeguard,” he added. “He was the type of guy that makes the department what it is.” Recipients of the annual award, now called the “Mountain Mike Rookie of the Year” in memory of McKay, receive a $500 scholarship from the Mike McKay Memorial Foundation, a nonprofit established by the McKay family. As in previous years, proceeds from the Iron Mike Paddle will benefit the foundation, which awards several scholarships annually. Organized by the Solana Beach Lifeguard Association, Iron Mike Paddle will feature a paddleboard race, surf contest, awards ceremony, board swap, vendors, live music, raffle, food truck and beer garden. The free event, which is co-sponsored by the city of Solana Beach, Encinitas-based Paddle Planet and Rerip, a nonprofit that supports recycling old surfboards, starts at 8:30 a.m. Aug. 15 at Fletcher Cove in Solana Beach.

CV resident/CaseyGerry partner, makes Daily Journal’s Top Plaintiff Attorney list
Del Mar Highlands Town Center collaborates with Uber for free rides up to $25 each way
Robert J. Francavilla of Carmel Valley, a CaseyGerry partner, has been named among California’s Top 25 Plaintiff’s Lawyers by the Los Angeles and San Francisco Daily Journal — the leading daily California legal publication. CaseyGerry partner David S. Casey Jr. was also among those recognized. In this inaugural list of the state’s top plaintiff lawyers, the Daily Journal honored top lawyers bringing single cases and multi-party actions in antitrust, labor and employment, environment, personal injury, privacy and data security, product defect and securities and financial fraud. “We could have honored more, but in our opinion, these are the ones who consistently force broad change in the law, industry, and society. As you read about these men and women, there is a common thread — and it doesn’t have Robert J. Francavilla dollar signs; they truly care about having an impact,� the Daily Journal editor staff said in introducing the honorees. CaseyGerry is one of a handful of firms to have two attorneys honored — and Casey and Francavilla are the only San Diego attorneys on the list. Both Francavilla and Casey are known for taking on high-profile, complex cases and concentrate their practices on serious personal injury and wrongful death cases. Francavilla has been involved in numerous high-profile cases — including a recent $5.4 million verdict against the U.S. government, in a case involving a motorcyclist who was seriously injured in a collision caused by a Border Patrol agent. Casey Jr. is a past president of the Association of Trial Lawyers of America, and has received more than 60 awards throughout his career, including the “Pursuit of Justice� award from the American Bar Association and a Lifetime Achievement Award from Consumer Watchdog. He has helped obtain dozens of multimillion-dollar results for clients in a complex range of cases that relate to aviation, maritime, premises liability, faulty equipment, government tort claims, complex motorcycle accidents, trucking and automobile crashes.

Del Mar Highlands Town Center recently announced a new service to make the shopping and dining experience even easier for its customers. Working with Uber, the ridesharing service, Del Mar Highlands Town Center will pay for customers’ travel to and from the center, up to $25 each way. The promotion is the first of its kind in San Diego and is being offered for a limited time based on demand. “We are thrilled to provide this innovative Uber service to our customers and tenants,� said Elizabeth Schreiber, vice president of operations and development for Donahue Schriber. “We understand the frustration that often comes with finding a parking space during our busiest hours, and we are committed to doing everything possible to make our customers’ visits to the center as enjoyable as possible.� Uber is changing the way people think about transportation, said Chris Ballard, general manager of Uber San Diego. “We commend Del Mar Highlands Town Center for recognizing the seamless experience we provide our riders and the unique benefits our service offers in helping to offset other factors, be it rush-hour traffic or parking constraints,� he said. “Through this promotion, Del Mar Highlands Town Center is demonstrating a keen awareness of what its customers want and is working to deliver it.� This promotion marks only the second time a U.S. shopping center has joined with Uber to pay the cost of customers’ travel for an extended period. The average fare for
Uber customers in the San Diego region is $15. Del Mar Highlands Town Center will cover the costs of travel up to $25. The UberX service will be appropriate for most customers, but UberXL may be used for large groups. For parents traveling with children, Uber also offers car seat service. The promotion is available to anyone with an active Uber account. To set up an account, visit www.uber.com/GO/DMHTC or download the free app on your smartphone. Any new customer who signs up for Uber using the promo code “DMHTC� will automatically receive a free ride up to $20 anywhere in the U.S., independent of the promotion. To learn more about the promotion, visit the Del Mar Highlands Town Center website at www.delmarhighlandstowncenter.com/uber. Del Mar Highlands Town Center is preparing to begin work on a new parking structure and approximately 90,000 square feet of retail space, improving parking, shopping choices and customers’ overall experience at the center. Initial renovations will be complete in summer 2016. In addition to the new Uber service, the center’s existing services, such as the curbside shuttle, 20-minute parking stalls, curbside restaurant pick-up stalls, valet parking and motorcycle parking, will remain in place throughout the renovation to accommodate visitors. Eighty temporary parking spaces have been added at the south end of the shopping center to offset the area closed for parking structure construction.

A Fresh Look on Finances with Aubrey Morrow CFP®
Is Personal Financial Planning Really Important?

Storm can’t dampen Del Mar opener; Gabriel Charles wins $400K stakes race BY KELLEY CARLSON Thunderstorms and heavy rain wreaked havoc and caused delays at the Del Mar racetrack on opening weekend, but they didn’t stop the racing action. “When I got in here, it was total chaos,” said track superintendent Richard Tedesco on Sunday. “Lightning, thunder and rain pouring down. We had to shut down the main track because of lightning in the area, that’s a rule. And we shut down the training track as well. We missed about 45 minutes of training. “But when they got back out on it, the jockeys going past were all giving me a thumbsup. The track held up well. I’m proud of my crew for the job they did.” On Saturday, the Grade I, $400,000 Eddie Read Stakes was run over a yielding turf course, and Gabriel Charles and jockey Mike Smith powered past the competition in the stretch to win by 3 3/4 lengths. Twentytwentyvision was second, followed by Finnegans Wake. Favored Midnight Storm finished fifth. “I don’t think it rained on the turf course; only the main track,” Smith quipped. “It was plenty fast.” The 5-year-old Gabriel Charles completed the 1 1/8 miles in 1:48.13. He is owned by Sam Britt and Michael House, and trained by Jeff Mullins. In the other stakes race on Saturday’s card, Gas Total got up in the final strides to win the $88,480 Osunitas Stakes. On Sunday, Prize Exhibit was victorious in the Grade II, $200,000 San Clemente Handicap.

The short answer is “it should be.” So, what is personal financial planning anyway? Think of how important your family physician is in your and your family’s life. Pretty important, right? We all want to have and maintain good health; however, we don’t really give much thought to our financial health. To keep fiscally healthy requires awareness of how we plan today and our financial future. Some questions: Do you have more cash in the bank than you need? A general rule of thumb is to keep enough in checking to equal one month of your expenses. Next item of liquidity is for emergencies or opportunities (Quick Recourse Fund). That amount should be based on the reliability of your income. If you have safe reliable income, maintain two-three months in a savings or money market. Even that amount may be too much since these accounts are paying extremely low (taxable) yields. If you have equity in your home, consider setting up a home equity line of credit (HELOC) rather than keeping too much cash in the bank. HELOCs are free to set up and banks can loan up to 75% of your home equity to fund the line of credit. The loan can be paid back interest-only or all over time… and interest is tax-deductible. Now, you have the liquidity issue settled, what should you do with the excess cash in checking and savings? The answer can be answered in a detailed, comprehensive personal financial plan. Is your estate plan up to date? Are you maxing out all retirement opportunities? Can you set up a home-based business? Have you established a personal investment portfolio? Do you own real estate in your personal investments? You should, if nothing more than diversification outside the volatility of stocks and bonds. Are you paying more in income taxes than necessary? Check your last year’s 1040, line 63, shows the amount paid in federal income taxes. California form 540, line 64, shows what you paid in state. Total both and divided by 12 will remind you what you paid, on average, each month last year! Kleenex time? Your tax preparer’s job is to “prepare” your taxes. An experienced Certified Financial Planner can help you explore ideas and strategies which may help you reduce your tax burden and only pay your fair share – and not more than necessary. A financial check-up will list all your assets, liabilities and net worth. A review of your existing investments will help determine if you have investments which may be too risky or too conservative. You should have investments which match the stage of your life. These items and more should be your focus and action taken to improve your financial future. What do you think?

Free to Breathe 5K on Aug. 9 aims to help double lung cancer survival The lung cancer community is on a mission: to make surviving lung cancer the expectation, not the exception. Hundreds of local residents will join in that mission by participating in the San Diego Free to Breathe 5K Run/Walk on Aug. 9 at the North Embarcadero Marina Park. All proceeds from the event support Free to Breathe, a lung cancer re- Participants in the 2014 Free to Breathe 5K. This year’s search and advocacy organi- event will be Aug. 9, at North Embarcadero Marina Park. zation dedicated to doubling Courtesy photo lung cancer survival by 2022. “Fundraising for lung cancer research can help families think of survival in terms of years, instead of months,” said volunteer event chair Jessica Evans of San Diego. “By taking action in the Free to Breathe movement and fundraising, you’re bringing hope and empowerment to all those touched by the disease.” Lung cancer takes the lives of nearly 160,000 people in the U.S. each year — more than breast, prostate and colon cancers combined. The goal this year is $43,500, which will go a long way in supporting lung cancer research and educational programs. Carmel Valley resident Marlene Nadler-Moodie has been participating in the Free to Breathe 5K since being diagnosed with stage 3b lung cancer three years ago. Nadler-Moodie was initially told she had three months to live. When she was diagnosed, she was a nonsmoker and didn’t really have any symptoms besides a dry cough. “Having always been a healthy, active professional and homemaker, I was shocked to learn in 2012 that I had lung cancer. I was then saddened to learn about the terrible stigma against lung cancer, despite it causing more deaths than breast, prostate and colon cancer combined. Yet research dollars are appallingly low,” Nadler-Moodie said. “The Free to Breathe Run/Walk is a wonderful way to fundraise for research dollars and help to bring awareness to the public.” The 5K run/walk event also features a 1/4 mile Kids’ Dash and face painting, so that the entire family can enjoy the day. Special recognition will be given to top finishers and fundraising heroes. Those who aren’t able to attend the event can still have an enormous impact by registering and fundraising as virtual walkers in the event. To register, visit freetobreathe.org.

No matter what position he’ll play, C.J. Stubbs eager to get on USC field BY GIDEON RUBIN C.J. Stubbs has a Plan B. He also has a Plan A, C and D. He just doesn’t know which one is which yet. The former Torrey Pines High baseball standout is headed to USC this fall with aspirations of playing professionally. But will it be as a catcher, the position for which the Trojans originally recruited him? Or as a pitcher, a position he just picked up ahead of his junior year and has excelled at ever since? Corner infield and outfield positions are possibilities too he’s been preparing Former Torrey Pines baseball standout C.J. Stubbs doesn’t know which position he’ll play at USC, catcher, for over the summer. “Honestly,” he said, “I pitcher, infield or outfield, but he’s open to all possibilities. Courtesy photos have no idea.” The only sure thing is that Stubbs wants to play and is open to all possibilities. His focus right now is to compete for a starting position in an intensely competitive program. “Nobody gets drafted from the bench,” Stubbs said. He hopes to someday follow the footsteps of his brother, Garrett Stubbs, also a former Torrey Pines standout who went on to play at USC and earlier this year was drafted by the Houston Astros in the eighth round of the June draft. Garrett Stubbs was drafted as a catcher after being named the recipient of this year’s Johnny Bench Award, presented to the nation’s most outstanding collegiate catcher. The Stubbs brothers are different players with different body types. C.J., who is 6-foot-2, is four inches taller than his brother. C.J. Stubbs made his mark as an ultra-intense competitor whose playing style rubbed off on teammates. “In the short time I’ve been a baseball coach, he’s the most unique player that I’ve
seen,” Torrey Pines coach Kirk McCaskill said. “He brought an energy and a passion to the field every day. Winter, spring, fall summer, he’s a high-energy, high passion, competitor. I couldn’t wait for him to walk through the gates every day.” It’s a quality Stubbs said he’s had as long as he can remember. “It’s been in my blood my whole life,” he said. “I’ve always wanted to win, and I knew that by pushing the other kids on the team and being a leader and trying improve our team would give us our best chance at winning, which selfishly will help me win.” Stubbs earlier this year helped the Falcons win their first Palomar League championship in three years. He was among the team’s leading hitters, batting .306 (33 for 108) with 11 extra-base hits including two homers. He also served notice with his arm. Stubbs went 6-4 with a 1.57 ERA in 11 starts.

Letters to the editor/Opinion
No more showers at state beaches? Not OK We are reminded on a daily basis that California is experiencing the fourth year of drought. We see many of our lakes at historic lows, and are told to water our lawns twice per week. Living in Del Mar for 16 years, I had never been out east to 4S Ranch. We drove through the vast area for the first time, and were shocked to see hillsides being cut down and several thousand homes of all sizes (all with future landscaping, of course) and tons of apartments under construction when the 15 freeway is already severely congested, and we’re hounded to cut our water usage. Now I read last week that the outdoor showers at our local beaches are being turned off. This is ridiculous, and this is not OK. These necessary showers were here decades before massive construction in 4S and elsewhere in San Diego. Families at the beaches usually just rinse off their feet, and sometimes their bodies for a few seconds because the salty ocean water stings the skin, and sand makes a mess in the car. The parking fee at Torrey Pines Beach is an outrageous $12-$20, so I would like to know why I used to pay that (we drive farther to free beaches now), and the showers are still being turned off? Surely some of this exorbitant parking fee goes to pay off the water bill for the showers, or no? There are other ways to conserve water. This is not one of them. Carla Mapes Del Mar
Loud music no fun for neighbors On Thursday, July 16, L’Auberge Del Mar held its annual Opening Day After-Party from 5 p.m. to midnight. Music on the pool deck was played loudly, too loudly, throughout the night. The music was so loud and annoying that the next morning I called Del Mar’s code compliance department to complain and was told that annually, for the past seven years, L’Auberge has received a citation for the loud music at the event. Unfortunately, the fine is only $100; the entry fee for the event is $200 per person, so the fine is immaterial. I decided to investigate Del Mar’s noise regulations. Section 9.20.090.C.2 of the Del Mar Municipal Code prohibits amplified music at any time and after 10 p.m., prohibits the operation of any loudspeakers that are plainly audible at a distance of 50 feet. Both of these ordinances were flagrantly violated by L’Auberge. I called L’Auberge for an explanation and they have not returned my call. I believe that we should all try to support our local businesses. In return, the local businesses have an obligation to be good corporate citizens and abide by our local ordinances. Please remember L’Auberge’s disregard for our community regulations the next time you consider giving them your business. Also, I’d like to ask our City Council why they allow L’Auberge’s abuse to continue unchecked. Ted Middleton Del Mar

Beach showers should be turned off now Yesterday while dining at The Poseidon, I watched countless people take showers at the Del Mar life guard tower. This morning as I lugged down my bucket of water from the shower, I started to fume. Why in the world are the showers still open when we are in a disastrous water shortage? My garden is dying, I barely flush the toilet and haven’t washed my face in warm water for months for fear of wasting the “heating up” water. Upon investigation, I found Solana Beach is also still allowing showers at the cove. I called each city and I was told many reasons why the showers still were running. I think my favorite was because the City Council knows the people were going to go home and take a shower anyway. I reminded this person we are allocated an amount of water every month we are allowed to use, yet I am supposed to turn a blind eye to thousands of gallons of fresh water going down the drain for swimmers visiting? This is just not acceptable. We are in a disastrous drought, remember? Even after speaking with the County Water Authority, no one had a clue when the showers would be turned off. What this said to me is San Diego is not in dire straits when it comes to how much water we have. We are being led by the nose from Sacramento to the city councils where we live. I now believe if we were in dire straits as we have been told, the showers would have been turned off months ago, golf courses would be brown and ball fields would not be watered like they are today. The biggest problem is when you investigate, you only speak to the person (quoting) the company line. I would love to talk to whoever runs the Water Authority. They have a $1.5 billion budget, yet not one person there had a clue as to why the showers were still in use or when they would be shut off. Hello? Who is in charge? Megan Gray Solana Beach
Wake up, Del Mar; you’ve been kicked A dog knows when he is tripped over or kicked, and on Monday, July 21, at 11 p.m. the Del Mar City Council gave all of us a hard kick. The council approved relocating all the city offices to the parking lot just south of the Winston School for at least 3 1/2 years during construction of the new City Hall. The public notice of the hearing was inadequate, and no factual basis was provided at the hearing by the city to support the claim that no commercial space was available in the Del Mar area for the relocation. The city admits that it never engaged a commercial Realtor to look for any space, and the city staff never explained what work was done to come to that conclusion. Once the city is entrenched in that location, good luck in getting it back. Good luck also for building the Shore Park for many years. What a slap in the face for all those who generously gave money to purchase the Shores property and for all those now actively involved in planning for its future use. There is a bright note. The city admits that legally it must examine the proposed relocation as part of the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) for the new City Hall, and the law requires that a detailed analysis of every relocation option be presented. It very well may turn out that the Shores parking lot is the best location. However, the burden of convincing the community of this is on the city. The information presented at the council meeting was a joke. The short notice, the poorly presented facts and the 11 p.m. call of the item on the calendar was designed to bully the approval. Hey, council members, people are not stupid. I am an attorney. If the same inadequate level of analysis is done in the EIR, a legal challenge will be made. If this delays the new City Hall project for months or years, so be it — it is the council’s fault. Fair warning. You cannot and should not treat residents this way. Shame on you.

Library improvements for Solana Beach BY DAVE ROBERTS Most of us carry digital devices that can answer any question. With that kind of computing power right in our pockets or purses, some might ask if libraries remain relevant in this age of instant information. My answer is libraries aren’t just relevant, they’re more important than ever. Just look at Solana Beach. This week, the Board of Supervisors voted 5-0 to approve my recommendation to award a $200,000 grant to the Solana Beach Library to support $2.2 million in planned improvements. The remodeling includes two new study rooms, a new staff workroom, lobby renovations, expanded display space for popular materials and a bigger book store
for the Friends of the Solana Beach Library. Plans for the interior call for new shelving, an automated materials handler, a new computer lab, expanded areas for children and teens, new furnishings and equipment and relocating the serDave Roberts vice desk. The branch serves great numbers of patrons. Last year, door counts totaled 214,544 and circulation totaled 321,258. Also in 2014-15, the branch offered 1,162 programs See LIBRARY, page 21

North Shore’s 10U All Stars invited to Nationals The 10U Gold All-Star team from North Shore Girls Softball league will go to the Western Nationals tournament from July 28-Aug. 2. The team was invited by the SoCal ASA after their strong play during states. While they did qualify during the state tournament, their two very close losses in tie-breakers prompted the governing body to invite team to the prestigious tournament held in La Habra. This is the second North Shore team to go to Nationals this year. The 14U will travel to Prescott, Ariz., during the same week. For information, go to www.nsgsl.com.
STUBBS pitched complete games in all five appearances in league play, allowing just one earned run over that stretch. Over the season, he recorded 57 strikeouts and allowed 49 hits and 11 walks over 67 innings. Not bad for a pitcher who hadn’t been on the mound since Little League when he made his varsity pitching debut as a junior last year. Stubbs has one of the

team’s stronger arms and petitioned coaches to give him a look. “So one day (McCaskill) said, ‘Let’s give it a shot. Let’s throw a couple (of bullpen sessions) this week and see how we like it.’ “Next thing you know I’m pitching once a week; six innings, seven innings. I give all the credit to Coach McCaskill. I don’t know if I would have ever gotten back on the mound without his

help.” Stubbs’ best pitch is a slider he developed when he was 12. He also throws a fastball and a changeup. “As a kid I always tried to throw a 12-to-6 (o’clock curveball), but my hand wasn’t big enough for the ball. Even today, I try to throw a 12-to-6 and it comes out as a slider. “Mentally, I think 12to-6, but the movement is a slider. If I try to throw a slid-
er it’s going to hang, and a good hitter’s going to hit it.” More often than not, hitters have been missing Stubbs’ pitches. And his success on the mound has fueled speculation that he could pitch at USC. “It’ll be really interesting to see what they do with him up there,” McCaskill said. “I don’t think the catcher-pitcher combination works well in college. I’m really interested to see what they’re going to do.” For his part, Stubbs isn’t so quick to write off the idea. “Hey, there’s always a first for everything,” he said. “I’m just trying to do whatever it takes to get me in the lineup.” But he’s mindful that going forward, there are more opportunities — especially at the professional level — for catchers than for pitchers, especially right-handers such as he. “I love both positions so much, anything to get me in that lineup would be a dream come true,” he said. “Whether it’s pitching or catching, just being on the field is what I love to do.”

just frightening students. They have found education is the foundation of drug abuse prevention. “We do recognize that youngsters make poor choices, but we work with parents, teachers and students on education and support,” Schmitt said. “There are things we can do to get better.” Every year, students anonymously participate in the California Department of Education’s Healthy Kids survey. According to 2013’s results, 90 percent of students in the district said they feel safe on campus. Jason Viloria, associate superintendent of administrative services, said school safety revolves around ensuring campuses are physically secure, having staff undergo training to handle specific situations and providing school programs that educate students. Viloria said they communicate with students extensively about drug and alcohol safety through partnerships with the San Dieguito Alliance for Drug Free Youth, events like Challenge Days and Red Ribbon Week, and through the Start Smart program, which every parent and student driver must go through to be issued a parking permit. The education efforts appear to be having a positive effect, he said. The Healthy Kids survey showed that in 2005, 53 percent of students had tried marijuana, but that number had dipped to 30 percent, which is 10 percent below the national average. The district has also implemented the use of breathalyzers at school dances. Schmitt said there is no single solution to prevent teenage alcohol and drug use, and students do get caught from time to time. When students are caught, they undergo the district’s READI (Recovery Education and Alcohol Drug Instruction) program, an extensive two-day program held at La Costa Canyon with special support counselors. As far as student discipline, Viloria said
the district is following the statewide trend of suspensions and expulsions being on the decline. The district saw 173 students suspended in 2013-14, down from 669 in 2008-09. As for expulsions, only four students were expelled in 2013-14, down from 20 in 200809. Schmitt said out of 12,500 students, four is a fairly low number. “Our schools are really the safest place for our kids to be,” said President Beth Hergesheimer. Muir said she doesn’t care about the statistics; she personally does not believe the schools are safe and wants to see action from the district. “It is a problem. I think it’s serious. I want kids to be more safe on campus,” she said. Schmitt asked what kinds of solutions she is proposing. Muir responded, “You tell me, you’re the superintendent.” Board members discussed having better training for campus supervisors, having more than one golf cart per campus for enhanced supervision and installing security cameras at select locations. Schmitt said those were all good suggestions that the district would consider. “The biggest change I’ve seen over the years is (that) the ‘Teenage Code of Silence’ is gone,” Schmitt said. He said teenagers weekly approach adults on campus and let them know of something they don’t think is right, or when they think a fellow student has a problem. He referred to the Yik Yak social media threat in November, which resulted in campus lockdowns at Canyon Crest Academy and Torrey Pines, which was the result of students being scared and notifying staff. “Kids do talk more than they used to, because they’ve seen catastrophic things happening,” Schmitt said.
CENTER

really got something that the community is going to be very happy with.” In June, the council marked a major milestone in the design process by selecting a concept design for the city’s new civic center. The design, called “Concept E,” is a hybrid of The Miller Hull Partnership’s previously presented concepts and community feedback. Located on the site of the city’s facilities at 1050 Camino del Mar, the proposed project includes a 9,250-square-foot city hall in the middle of the site slightly to the south, a 3,200-square-foot multipurpose town hall in the southeast corner, and a 15,000-squarefoot plaza fronting Camino del Mar. The plan features a 4,500-square-foot public overlook in the northwest corner of the lot and a total of 11,700 square feet of open space available for future expansion. The plan also includes a two-level underground parking garage on a third of the site, with surface parking on another third of the site for a total of about 156 parking spaces. Construction is estimated to cost $11.2 million, according to preliminary schematic designs. The architectural team on July 20 unveiled initial renderings of what the buildings could look like. The better-defined designs outlined the locations of lobbies, restrooms and other aspects of the buildings. The designs also depicted wooden buildings with lots of windows. The structures featured wooden ceilings and tresses like those at the Del Mar Library, Powerhouse Community Center and Jake’s Del Mar. “We’re using this hybrid of wood and glass to make a welcoming, transparent and weathered protected wall you can see right
through,” explained Mike Jobes, principal with The Miller Hull Partnership. “Also, from inside, it feels almost like you’re looking through a stand of trees.” Overall, the council agreed with the direction of the design character. “I think the design as a whole is very nice,” said Councilman Don Mosier. “I think this is a very nice job, and I congratulate Mike and the Miller Hull team on bringing us a nice product.” Although council members considered expanding the town hall, they decided to move forward with the 3,200-square-foot space, which is included in the budget. The town hall would accommodate 150 people seated and 160 people seated at tables. City Hall and the town hall would be connected by a weather-protected glass breezeway with large pivotal doors. Using the breezeway as overflow space, the town hall could accommodate as many as 252 people seated and 260 people seated at tables. To accommodate the additional capacity, $40,000 to $60,000 more will be needed for extra fixtures, storage space and restroom stalls. “That breezeway is going to achieve exactly what we were hoping for at almost no additional cost,” said resident Betty Wheeler, who wants a town hall that would be large enough for community events. “I think that the original town hall size with the addition of the breezeway is a really brilliant approach to meeting the community interest in those additional spaces.” The council also agreed to add approximately $90,000 to $135,000 to the budget for a roughly 300-square-foot catering kitchen.
PROJECT

fice spaces totaling 14,137 square feet. The residential portion of the project has four two- and three-story buildings, each with four to 10 one- or two-bedroom units ranging from 650 square feet to 1,025 square feet. There would be a total of 31 units, including 16 one-bedroom units and 15 two-bedroom units. Property owner American Assets has proposed to pay an in-lieu fee rather than build affordable units on-site. In preparation of a draft environmental impact report for the proposed project, city staff and consultants invited input from the community at the recent scoping meeting, which is required as part of the environmental review process under the California Environmental Quality Act. The meeting’s purpose was to focus on what needed to be studied in the report, including aesthetics; air quality; cultural resources; geology and soils; greenhouse gas emissions; hazardous materials and public health; hydrology and water quality; land use; noise; population and housing; public services and recreation; traffic; and utilities. The report will also look at potential alternatives, including a reduced project or no project at all. More than a dozen people shared their concerns about the project during the meeting. Written comments were also accepted from the community. Some Solana Beach residents were concerned about the project’s size and scale. The tallest building is 35 feet high — the maximum allowable. “It looks like it will easily be the largest project on 101 since we became a city,” said resident Tracy Richmond. “It’s huge. I would like to see the reduced project discussed thoroughly. You’ve got 35-foot heights with flat roofs, so you’ve basically maximized the mass and volume of the building.” Several people had concerns that vehicles would only be able to access the site from one driveway off Dahlia. “There’s one entrance and one exit,” said resident Gary Martin. “So all the trucks, all the cars, all the offices — everybody feeds through one entrance on Dahlia, which is a traffic issue.” Resident Kelly Harless agreed. “Dahlia is such a short street. People will be coming from 101 and Sierra,” she said. “It’s all going to increase the traffic and speed issues that residential homes north of the area experience already.” Resident Bill Gifford said he had no problem with the project, but questioned whether it should, in fact, include affordable units. “It’s been said we need low-income units in this area,” he said. “I think the city should take a good look at that.” Among other concerns, some said that a grocery store and retail shops aren’t needed in the area. Resident Pat Coad said she was concerned about the project’s aesthetics. According to the plans, buildings will be designed in a California contemporary style of architecture, which emphasizes massing structures together with interlocking volumes of differing heights and widths and a variety of colors and materials. The proposed color palette includes warm earth tones with accented balconies, wooden trellises, stone or tile finish and metal roofing. Landscaping includes a variety of trees, shrubs and ground cover, seat walls, a water feature, trellis plantings and green screen planters. Also, a 6,150-square-foot green roof would be located on the second floor above the commercial retail area and would feature ornamental shrubs and 14 skylights. “I think this whole development is pretty ugly,” Coad said. “I don’t think it fits into Solana Beach. I think it’s massive. I don’t think that’s what we want in our community.” The 45-day review period opened July 1 when a notice of preparation was released with a project description and potential environmental impacts. The public has until Aug. 17 to provide input on what should be studied in the report, reasonable alternatives and mitigation opportunities. To submit a comment, contact Corey Andrews at candrews@cosb.org. At the start of this year, two South Sierra Avenue residents filed applications stating the proposed project would affect their views. In March, members of the city’s View Assessment Commission sided with the community members and did not support the project. The commission denied the project 4-0-1, with two members absent. With the commission’s recommendations, the City Council will make the final decision on the project. If approved, construction is expected to begin in the summer of 2017 and be completed at the end of 2018.

funding model since the calendar was approved in 2014. Jason Viloria, associate superintendent of administrative services, said beginning in the 2015-16 school year, the district will transition from a Basic Aid district to the Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) funding model, which relies on daily student attendance for revenue. Viloria said at the request of trustee Joyce Dalessandro, the district reviewed the adopted school calendar to identify potential high-absence days to be used as a strategic non-student day. Dalessandro said Jewish leaders had already approached the district expressing concern that so many students had to miss a day of school because of Rosh Hashana. The high absence day for the September Jewish holy days would result in a loss of $130,000 in revenue under the LCFF. Superintendent Rick Schmitt said it is illegal to schedule a non-student day for religious reasons, but after the funding model flipped, the day in September made sense because it is one of the highest absentee days in the district. The board voted to schedule the non-student day on Sept. 14, 2015, and moved the last day of school to Friday, June 10, 2016.

customers’ driveways was also lifted by the board on Thursday. For a full list of the Level 3 water use restrictions, visit the district’s website at www.sfidwater.org. The district serves about 19,400 residents of Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch. Board members and the public — in emails to the district — objected to the hand-watering restrictions, noting that customers must already abide by their allocations, which limit their total water use. “Why don’t we just eliminate Level 3 (restrictions) and only have allocations?” said director Alan Smerican. “What am I missing here?” “Why do we have to get so involved with everybody’s life?” said Gruzdowich. John Payne of Fairbanks Ranch expressed similar sentiments in an email to the district. “Isn’t the bottom line compliance with the overall water reduction mandate? Why
should you care or interfere with the way someone wants to use water as long as they are in compliance overall?” Payne wrote. “Residents of the Santa Fe Irrigation District: Fly commercial jets with hundreds of passengers, perform life-saving operations, manage billions of dollars of client investments, employ tens of thousands of employees. Please trust us to use a hose!” wrote Eddie Hillard. The district can’t do away with all the specific water-use restrictions, because some are required by the state or local agencies such as the County Water Authority, said Paula de Sousa, the district’s general counsel. And board president Michael Hogan said he doesn’t believe allocations alone will allow the district to meet its state-mandated target of reducing water demand by 36 percent from 2013 levels. Fines of up to $10,000 per day can be assessed against water districts that don’t meet their targets.
Lagoon bridge repair starts July 27 The North County Transit District will begin work on Monday, July 27, to repair “Railroad Bridge 243.0,” a timber train trestle that crosses the San Dieguito Lagoon and is next to the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The work generally involves excavating portions of the channel and backfilling it with larger rocks (rip-
rap) in order to armor the bottom of the channel surrounding the bridge pilings. Once the riprap has been installed, native sand and silt will be used to cover the rocks and empty spaces. The project is expected to be completed towards the end of 2015. Rail traffic will continue as normally scheduled during the construc-
tion. Jimmy Durante Boulevard and San Dieguito Drive will experience intermittent increased construction traffic. A pedestrian trail near the south end of the bridge will be temporarily closed during construction. For information, visit www.gonctd.com/ Bridge243.

The water-use restrictions have been developed on a regional basis by the County Water Authority and its member agencies, Hogan said. “Now we’re saying forget about the regional plan, let’s do what we want to do,” Hogan said. He also pointed to recent trends in water use by district customers. Although water use actually increased several months after voluntary restrictions were imposed last fall, district customers reduced consumption by 42 percent in May, and by 37 percent in June, meeting the state’s target that took effect June 1. “Look at the results. The actions we’ve taken are paying off,” Hogan said.

serving 21, 257 attendees. Public computer and Wi-Fi sessions totaled 41,369. Smartphones did not exist when the branch opened in 2001 on the campus of Earl Warren Middle School as the first county’s first “shared-use” library. But even in recent years, we’re not seeing the ubiquitous smartphone peeling customers away from the library. As a shared facility, the library serves its middle school-aged patrons with extra hours and a specially-trained library technician during the school year. The school district, which owns the building and the land it occupies, covers those costs. For students, the library is home to the Earl Warren Reading Challenge and the Earl Warren Spelling Bee. The library provides space for meetings of the Earl Warren PTSA and programming for special-needs students. In cooperation with the school’s English Department, the library in October hosted a “One Book, One San Diego” program that featured Gene Luen Yang, author of the awardwinning novel, “American Born Chinese.” County of San Diego departments make good use of the facility. The Registrar of Voters has used the building as a polling place and, in 2014, equipped the library as an official drop-off location for mail-in ballots. In February, our Health and Human Services Agency provided all-day blood pressure screenings as part of the Love Your Heart Campaign. Other programs include: Spanish bilingual baby story time; Spanish instruction for adults; homework help and story time for children from the Boys and Girls Club of San Dieguito, La Colonia Branch; a book club for Solana Beach Senior Center and a venue for the North County Immigration Citizenship Center and La Colonia de Eden Gardens Community Meetings. Can a smartphone do all of that? The Friends of the Solana Beach Library are a driving force behind the success of the branch. In 2000, the group’s fundraising covered nearly one third of the original, $3.2 million cost. The Friends remain every bit as engaged with the current remodeling program and the community owes the group a debt of gratitude. Dave Roberts represents the Third District on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

Deputies from the San Diego Sheriff’s Department, with police officers from the San Diego Police Department, La Mesa Police Department, and National City Police Department, were conducting DUI enforcement patrols to crack down on drunk driving in an effort to lower deaths and injuries in and around the Del Mar Race Track on opening day. The AVOID Agencies had seven teams of deputies and officers who conducted 47 traffic stops from 4 p.m. to 1 a.m. July 16-17, where 20 people were evaluated for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, in and around the cities of Del Mar, Encinitas, San Diego and Solana Beach. Seven people were arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol and one for driving under the influence of drugs. The “Zero Tolerance” DUI Saturation Patrols were targeting those who still don’t heed the message to designate a sober driver before their celebrations begin. Call 9-1-1 any time you encounter that dangerous driver.
CITY HALL

Due to the small footprint available at the Shores property, staff specified a minimal 4,000-square-foot administrative office space and an additional 2,000-square-foot space that would serve as council chambers, Del Mar TV facilities and public meeting space. Some storage may need to take place offsite. The site will also provide for more than the minimum parking requirements as specified in the city code, which requires one parking space for each 300 square feet of office and one parking space for each five seats of public seating space in a public assembly area. Delin explained that the Public Works Yard at 2240 Jimmy Durante Blvd. was ruled out as an option because of its floodway zoning and additional environmental, permitting and building requirements. The privately owned Garden Del Mar property is also not available, he said. Del Mar purchased the Shores property from the Del Mar Union School District for $8.5 million in 2008, in an effort to preserve open space and recreational uses, continue the operation of the Winston School, and initiate a master plan process. With the site’s master plan process underway, the city aims to create a long-range plan that will guide the development of the 5.3-acre park, which is bounded by Camino del Mar, Ninth Street and Stratford Court. Temporary use of the Shores property “will not impede the Shores Park master plan process,” according to an email announcement from the city of Del Mar. “The Shores Park master plan process will
CONTRACT
continue as planned,” the statement reads. “The park master plan is expected to be completed by winter 2016. Since no funds are budgeted for construction of the park, the next step in development of the park will be figuring out how to pay for the park to be built. Prior to construction of the park, more detailed design work must be completed, including preparation of construction documents. That process will take time. The timing to be ready for construction of the park is expected to coincide well with the completion of the newly constructed city hall.” City staff is working closely with the Winston School, a private school that leases a portion of the property. In support of the relocation plan, Mike Peterson, headmaster of the Winston School, said the school would continue to work with city staff to address concerns such as student safety, traffic and parking. He added that the school’s auditorium would also be available for council meetings. “I think it will be cozy, but I think if we work together and continue to solve problems, we should be able to come up with a plan that works,” Peterson said. The relocation of city hall to Shores Park is subject to full compliance with the California Environmental Quality Act and issuance of required permits. The council also approved up to $450,000 for the relocation. The funds will cover the costs of the 30-month lease, installation, furniture, equipment and utility hookups.

ing for foundations to support the program began during the economic downturn. The district asked for $100,000 from the four foundations to be able to keep it. “They stepped up, but it was never a forever strategy,” Schmitt said. Dill said upon looking at the service last year, the district decided that it was time to assume the contract fully. The money is in the budget, and they have rebuilt the district’s reserves to be able to restore athletic directors as a district expense. The board heard public comment from Paul Gaspar, a board member of the San Dieguito Sports Medicine Foundation, which held the athletic trainer contract with the district for more than a decade until a few years ago, when it was awarded to Rehab United. “There were numerous problems over the last year with the new provider,” Gaspar said, referring to last fall when several parents expressed concerns that athletic trainers were contractually obligated to refer injured athletes to Rehab United. “Those things I hope were written into the contract so this does not happen again,” Gaspar said. Gaspar asserted that he was not making these comments because he wanted the contract over Rehab United. He said because of the way trainers were treated by the district and
the district’s failure to make timely payments, he wouldn’t be interested in working with the district again. As far as problems go, Dill said that the district does not feel anything remains as a serious concern. The referral issue was changed in the contract language — athletes are free to follow up with any care provider they choose. Dill also apologized to Gaspar for the district’s previous payment problems. When he moved into the business services department, he learned that the district’s method had been waiting for donation money to come in to pay the contractor. He said they have since changed that practice. Trustee Muir said she was upset that the district did not issue a request for proposals (RFP) for the contract, since it is such an important service for student-athletes. “I think it would’ve been prudent to search and see if anybody else was interested in doing this,” agreed trustee John Salazar. “Especially for this amount of money.” Dill said the district does not go out for RFPs every year on every contract it has. The district last issued an RFP for athletic trainer services in 2013, and the district received only one bid, from Rehab United. Before that, in 2008, the district received only three. “There are not many providers that provide this service,” Dill said.

DM resident’s work with Patrons of the Prado helps keep Balboa Park vital
‘Ballerina of Auschwitz,’ Dr. Edith Eger, recounts survival story at local event
BY KRISTINA HOUCK This year marks the 100th anniversary of the 1915 Panama-California Exposition in Balboa Park. Thanks to Del Mar’s Jeri Rovsek and the other members of the Patrons of the Prado, Balboa Park’s museums will be here for many years to come. “Balboa Park is the masterpiece of San Diego,” said Rovsek, who has lived in Del Mar with her husband, Richard Rovsek, for nearly three years. The couple previously lived in Rancho Santa Fe. “It’s one of the best, most important and most beautiful places in our city.” The Patrons of the Prado celebrated Balboa Park’s centennial with its Masterpiece Gala on July 18 at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion in Balboa Park (see photos from the event in next week’s RSF Review). Established in 1997, the organization supports the programs and initiatives of the 11 museums, arts and cultural institutions along The Prado in Balboa Park. “I’m just happy to be a part of that masterpiece for the city,” Rovsek said. Rovsek, who grew up in Chicago and Omaha, Neb., earned a bachelor’s degree at the University of Wisconsin. While in college, she married her husband. The couple have been married for 52 years. The Rovseks have been actively involved in the community ever since they came to Rancho Santa Fe about 15 years ago. Richard Rovsek founded the Spirit of Liberty Foundation. The Rancho Santa Fe-based nonprofit supports men and women in the Armed Forces with an emphasis on wounded veterans.
BY DIANE Y. WELCH Dr. Edith Eva Eger, a petite figure of 87 years, sat comfortably in an armchair on July 17 and addressed an audience in the intimate setting of Drs. Andrew and Diana Benedek’s Rancho Santa Fe home. The talk was being held in commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz. Seated next to her was Rabbi Levi Raskin from the Chabad Jewish Center of Rancho Santa Fe, and in front of her were over 100 people who hung onto her every word. Eger’s humility set the tenor for her presentation — “The Ballerina of Auschwitz” — as she calmly, and without bitterness, recounted her days spent in the infamous concentration camp. One of a few remaining Holocaust survivors, Eger, a La Jolla-based clinical psychologist, could have told a dismal tale of the past horrors of Nazi German rule and the suffering of Jews. But instead, she said, “My reputation is that I make people laugh and cry at the same time,” and so she did. With both laughter and solemnity, Eger gave a detailed conversational presentation that ultimately emphasized her message, “In life, it’s not what happens to us, it’s what we do with it.” A Jew living in Nazi-occupied Eastern Europe, Eger was a young teenager in 1944 when she and her family were sent to Auschwitz. While her parents did not survive, she and her sisters did, and she was ultimately rescued by an American G.I. who pulled her from a pile of corpses, noticing a small movement alerting him that she was alive. Her talk recounted her personal history before and after the war, and she also spoke solemnly about strong emotions — anger, fear, disappointment and guilt — and how, through therapy
Jeri Rovsek Photo by Jon Clark When the couple lived in Connecticut, Jeri Rovsek served on the boards of the local Boys and Girls Club and of Bridgeport Theatres. Locally, she was a board member of Casa de Amparo for 12 years and The Old Globe Theatre for three years. In recent years, she has also become very involved with the local chapters of The Salvation Army and The United Service Organizations, serving on the Women’s Auxiliary of The Salvation Army and the gala committee of the USO. In 2010, Rovsek was recognized for her volunteer service by The Salvation Army during the Women’s Auxiliary’s 45th annual “Women of Dedication” luncheon. “There’s just a pleasure that you get when you raise funds to help others,” Rovsek said. “There’s a great pleasure in doing that.” Rovsek became a board member of the Patrons of the Prado in 2003.

“All we had was each other then, and all we have is each other now,” said Dr. Edith Eva Eger, a La Jollabased clinical psychologist who survived the Holocaust. Photo by Diane Y. Welch and strength of character, she and others have been able to overcome these feelings brought on by the painful memories of Nazi atrocities. But the most poignant part of Eger’s recollections was how as a 16-year-old in Auschwitz, she and her sister, Magda, survived when many died. “Allow me to take you back with me,” she told the audience. The family arrived in the camp in the middle of May 1944. In the cattle cart on the way there, her mother hugged her and told her, “No one can take away from you what is in your own mind.” And that is what happened to Eger. “Everything was taken away from me, but I had my mind, and I had my sister,” she recalled. On arrival at the camp, the sisters entered a line and their mother was taken in another direction. They were told that their mother was going to take a shower. “I asked one of the inmates, ‘When will I see my mother?’ She pointed at a chimney, fire was coming out, and she said, ‘Your mother is burning there; you better talk about her in the past tense.’” Her sister, Magda, who was very beautiful — and “is still gorgeous,” chuckled Eger — told her, “The spirit never dies,” and then Eger realized that she had hope. At age 5, Eger was a beginning ballet student, told by her teacher that she needed to get all her ecstasy in life from the inside out. “But I had no idea what he was talking about,” she said. That sage advice proved prophetic when she was much older and under Nazi control. “We came into the barracks, and Dr. (Joseph) Mengele wanted to be entertained. My
Debbie’s perseverance and established agent network were key to allowing us to access homes before listing. She provided outstanding customer service leading to acceptance and close in 30-days. — Bruce & Natanya Shiah
friends knew that I was the one who had been entertaining the Jewish community all the time with my dancing, so they volunteered me, and that’s how I ended up dancing for Mengele.” As she danced, she prayed. “I prayed to a compassionate and loving God that somehow I would not be the next one for the gas chamber,” recalled Eger. She was spared, and Mengele gave her a small loaf of bread as a reward. “Cooperation was the name of the game, not competition, not domination,” she said. Auschwitz was hell, she stressed, but the inmates had a philosophical humor. “Somehow we kept each other alive with jokes, and all we talked about was food,” Eger said. In December 1944, there was an attempt to separate the sisters as they were being transferred to another camp and were commanded to stand in different lines. “So I did some cartwheels to get next to her, and we left Auschwitz together.” The sisters ultimately ended up in the Mauthausen camp in Austria. “I knew I was going to die there,” said Eger. The sisters were part of the death march for extermination and were weakened by having to subsist on grass. Eger started to slow down. “I didn’t think I could make it. The girls saw me. They came and they formed a chair with their arms, and they carried me so that I wouldn’t die. “Isn’t that amazing. All we had was each other then, and all we have is each other now,” said Eger. In closing, Eger said, “I look to Auschwitz now as though it was meant to be. Tonight we are celebrating freedom, and I never felt better in my life.” Then she added, “The biggest concentration camp is in your own mind — and you can find the key in your pocket.”

Fringe Festival features ‘My Mother’s in the Audience’ by CCA senior
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY DIANE Y. WELCH When four stage mothers go rogue, being pitted against each other to win the much-coveted award of “Best Parental Coordinator” during the opening production of “Macbeth,” the competition is so fierce that they will stop at nothing to be the victor. This fictional scenario, which results in murderous sword fights and acts of Satanism, provides the basis for the play “My Mother’s in the Audience,” a new dark comedy written by Carmel Valley’s Jacob Surovsky, a Canyon Crest Academy senior and theater conservatory student. Featuring the Ellipsoid Players — which includes CCA Envision theater students Kion Heidari and Phillip Magin — the production is being stage-managed by technical theater conservatory member Maya Abed and directed by Envision theater guest artist Jason Maddy. The cast also includes Laura Bohlin, Ed Hollingsworth, Lena Jones, Julie Sachs and Wendy Waddell, and crew Alexander Waxler and Cayla Surovsky . For the past five years,
Senior Jacob Surovsky of Canyon Crest Academy is a high school playwright in the San Diego Fringe Festival. Photo/Howard Lipin/Twitter: @hlipin Surovsky has been submitting plays to San Diego Playwright’s Project Plays By Young Writers Contest and has been a three-time finalist. “My Mother’s in the Audience” was written and submitted last year and selected as a finalist when it placed in the top 21 out of 581 submissions, but did not move forward into production because of adult language and its “edgy” genre of black comedy, said Jacob. He decided to produce it himself this year to debut in The San Diego International Fringe Festival. At age 17, he is this season’s youngest producer. Surovsky said he wrote the play as reflective of one that he would want to see on stage and something that he would love to be a part of, he explained. “As it didn’t exist, I created it myself.” This is the third year of the Fringe Festival in San Diego, which takes its inspiration from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, formed in 1947 when artists who were unable to be part of Edinburgh’s established arts festival created their
own on the city’s fringes. Now any city may produce its own fringe festival. San Diego’s is being promoted as “11 days of eyeball-busting shows” and features local and international artists. Veteran performers travel from all over the world to participate, “and then there is a show being organized by a 17-year-old producer,” said Surovsky about himself. “Everyone is given equal value.” To help fund the production, Surovsky created a Go Fund Me sponsorship page; opportunities to donate are still available. Surovsky was motivated to write plays after taking theater classes at North Coast Repertory Theater in Solana Beach, he said. Inspiration for the play’s plot came from Surovsky’s observations of volunteer theater parental coordinators at his school. He appreciates these moms and all that they do, he said. But watching them made him want to explore these roles further, “how they work and why they do what they do,” he said. Heidari, who plays Kevin Venter, serves as a “kind of audience’s guide” in the show, he said. The character gets caught up “in all
the crazy things that happen between the parental coordinators,” added Heidari. More than a year ago, when Surovsky was explaining the basic concept of his play to other CCA theater students, Heidari knew that he wanted to be a part of the production. “The script is fantastic,” he commented. “(Jacob) is super-talented, and it’s always a pleasure working with him because of how much insight he has and his many brilliant ideas.” A preview performance was staged at CCA’s Proscenium Theatre on July 19. During the fringe festival, Ellipsoid Players will perform the following dates: 6 p.m. Thursday, July 23; 1 p.m. July 25; 9 p.m. July 26; 10:30 p.m. July 28; and 7:30 p.m. Aug. 1 at RAW Space Off Broadway, 923 First Ave., San Diego. Tickets are $10 at http://sdfringe.ticketleap.com/my-mother. Fringe tags are $5 and must be purchased along with tickets to see any Fringe production.

Theatre School at NC Rep goes ‘back to basics’ with free outdoor shows When performing Shakespeare’s plays, it’s common to give them a modern twist, updating the setting and visuals to a later era. However, director Benjamin Cole is putting a spin on “Twelfth Night, or What You Will,� Shakespeare’s comedic tale of deception, disguises, love, and madness, by going back to basics. The play will be performed outdoors — with free admission — from July 29-Aug. 2 at the La Colonia Community Center/Park in Solana Beach, without microphones or lighting. “Often Shakespeare’s plays are bogged down with flashy spectacle. In Shakespeare’s time, audiences went to ‘hear a play,’ said Cole. “The focus was on the beauty and art of the words. I chose to return to that tradition or simplicity in production, and putting stronger value on actor performance. Our actors will perform with the audience not at them.� Cast member Zackary Bonin, who plays Sir Toby Belch, agreed. “I think not being able to use modern technology is fantastic, because a lot of the time, especially in Shakespeare, it’s used as a crutch, and not having it actually makes you experiment more with the actual text.� Along the way, the cast members learned about how much has changed since Shakespeare’s time, and what the original performances of the plays might have been like. “We’ve been analyzing what we have left of the original published stuff like the First Folio,� said cast member Marie Osterman, who plays Feste, the clown. “Ben’s been explaining to us how they’re basically instructions for blocking or for the actors in the way there’s punctuation in the script, and in the way certain words are emphasized.� Since there weren’t directors, she said, “It’s interesting connecting some of that and using some of that blocking, because it gets us closer to how maybe it was originally planned.� According to Cole, the actors have also been training for some entertaining fight scenes. “There are some very exciting and very silly sword fights in the show. I am teaching the actors to fight using the best stage combat skills in order to make the fights look as real as possible, and be as safe as possible for the actors to perform. I am teaching them the same skills that Hollywood movies and Broadway shows use. I am a member of the Society of American Fight Directors, which is the largest stage combat union in the world. The training is based on historically accurate techniques made safe for the theater.� Performing in the park will give the audience a better view of all the action. “Shakespeare’s plays should be an interactive experience that includes the audience in on the fun,� said Cole. “Since the show will be performed outdoors in the courtyard of the

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
Personally Fit in Fairbanks Village Plaza focuses on functional fitness BY KAREN BILLING Carol and Scott Ross live their lives in 30- to 45-minute intervals, blurs in motion as they help people achieve a better quality of life through fitness. For the past 22 years, the couple have owned Personally Fit in Rancho Santa Fe’s Fairbanks Village Plaza and are proud to be in the business of making people feel better. Personally Fit works with all levels of fitness, young and old, yet the specialty aspect of the gym is corrective physical training for those with many different types of medical limitations and orthopedic injuries. “It’s been fun because things have evolved; it’s not like we’re doing the same thing we did 22 years ago,” Carol Ross said. “I think the industry we’re in is only going to get better, because people are living longer and realizing that they have to be proactive about their health and take responsibility for their bodies.” Both Carol and Scott have master’s degrees is exercise physiology and are certified exercise specialists. They started their careers in a more clinical setting, doing cardiac rehabilitation with clients who had heart disease. Their careers evolved and the pair found their niche in functional fitness. They aimed to help people who wanted to be fit, but who were dealing with problems such as post-cardiac rehab and osteoporosis. “At the time, we didn’t see those people in gym, and we felt like there was a missing link,” Ross said. “We wanted to create a facility where people could come in and work out on their own or with a personal trainer and feel comfortable coming in and feeling like they belong.” Not only does Personally Fit provide that “Cheers”-like sense of belonging where everybody knows your name, it’s a place where people who might have gotten lost in a big gym environment will have someone on hand to provide a little extra attention. There are six trainers on staff and a variety of classes are offered in yoga, Pilates mat, cardio step, flexibility and step, Zumba, and Feldenkrais, a movement class that trains the brain to activate dormant muscles and address imbalances. They even hope to add a cooking class in the fall, focusing on how to stock the cupboards so a healthy meal is always easy to make at home. With one-on-one training, they can help people who have had hip replacement surgeries or are dealing with the effects of Parkinson’s disease. They address functional fitness for people to be able to do everyday activities — some people want to be able to golf again or to continue
playing tennis or simply to keep up with their grandchildren. Some have balance and strength issues, and they want to feel comfortable just stepping out of a car or being able to take a vacation and travel. “That’s where we come in,” Ross said. “What’s rewarding is seeing that through therapeutic exercise, they can still get things done that they want to get done. It’s work. But to help people realize that with therapeutic exercise and personal training, they can make the best of a not so great situation.” Ross and her staff are very hands-on with their clients, helping to guide them through movements, massaging tense muscles when needed and ending sessions with stretching exercises. “Flexibility is huge for everybody,” Ross said. “If you’re not flexible enough, it puts you at a greater risk for injury.” While they specialize in treating medical issues that need more supervision and guidance, Ross said if you come to Personally Fit for a really hard workout, you’re going to get one.

Why Varicose Veins are a Medical Condition Living in Southern California, we are all too familiar with the popularity of cosmetic surgery. From large invasive surgeries to small botox injections, we are inundated with people wanting to alter their appearance to achieve a more attractive look. And for many decades, varicose and spider veins were viewed in this same way: as cosmetic only. And while yes, the treatment of varicose veins will greatly
improve the look of your skin, there are bigger concerns here that should not be ignored. Varicose veins, or venous insufficiency, can actually lead to much larger, more serious problems. One of the biggest concerns with varicose veins is thrombosis, which is a clotting of the veins. If this continues to worsen, it can lead to DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) which is a clotting of deeper, larger veins, generally found in the legs. As you can imagine, this can result in more severe complications with your legs, skin, and circulatory system. Additionally, if let untreated, varicose veins can also lead to external bleeding from these damaged veins. One of the main problems in the diagnosis and treatment of venous insufficiency is that all-too-often, the patient simply ignores the symptoms. The most common symptoms

may include achy or swollen legs, itching, heaviness, throbbing and heat over the veins, and of course the visual indication of varicose veins. But many times, patients do not seek treatment because there is no “pain” attached to the symptoms. And the thinking is that if there is no pain, then there is no serious medical condition. But this is not necessarily the case. Even without great pain, those other symptoms are warning signs. But just like with other medical conditions, the earlier a diagnosis is made, the earlier treatment can begin, and the greater the chance of preventing further complications. And the beauty of seeking treatment early is the simplicity and ease of the process. In the past, treatment of varicose veins was associated with uncomfortable compression socks and invasive “stripping” of the vein. But now a
quick, painless injection or laser ablation can take care of the veins and have you back to your daily activities the same day. If you were at risk or had symptoms of hypertension, diabetes, or high cholesterol, you would not think twice about seeking treatment. But nearly 35-40 million Americans are suffering from venous insufficiency. Don’t be one of the them who waits too long to heed the warning sings. If you are experiencing any of the symptoms mentioned above, be proactive in seeking treatment. It is no longer something to be afraid of. If you’d like to take advantage of one of our experienced and skilled doctors who perform all of the procedures themselves, don’t hesitate to contact us at 760-944-9263 or visit us at www.sdveininstitute.com.

Glenner Centers provide respite for caregivers, activities for those with Alzheimer’s BY DIANE Y. WELCH For those with Alzheimer’s disease, the prognosis is grim. With no cure, the inevitable outcome is a decline in cognitive ability and eventually having to rely completely on others. While it’s a frustrating prospect for the patient, it’s equally hard on the families, as it is often a family member who steps up to care for the loved one. Help is at hand, however, as the nonprofit Glenner Memory Care Centers offers A St. Patrick’s Day celebration at a Glenner Memory Care services for both the patient center. Said one woman of her mother, who was a and the caregiver. Unlike most daycare cen- center client, “Her needs were more than met in a safe, ters for the aged, these care loving environment.” Courtesy photo centers are only for dementia clients. “We care for those suffering from any form of memory loss, during the daytime hours, so that their caregivers can work, run errands or simply get a break from the rigors of caregiving,” said Lisa Tyburski, director of family services. The centers are small to avoid overwhelming the patients, and are licensed for about 30 clients per center, said Tyburski. “Two of the centers — Chula Vista and Hillcrest — are actually in real houses, so it feels like you are home,” she added. The third location, serving North County residents, is at Silverado Senior Living on Saxony Avenue in Encinitas. Each center is open from 9 a.m. through 5 p.m. five days a week. Patients may opt to go full-days, half-days, five days a week or fewer, said Tyburski. “We provide music therapy, pet therapy, chair yoga, singing, engagement in current events and more,” she said. For Twyla Cox, whose mother, Ruth, attended the Hillcrest Glenner Center for four years, the services offered peace of mind. “The staff greeted my mother with enthusiasm each morning and thanked her for coming at the end of the day, which made her feel welcomed and comfortable,” said Cox. “She enjoyed the meals, socialization and the activities, especially the music and arts and crafts. Her needs were more than met in a safe, loving environment.” Socialization is an important aspect of the therapy. “Being around other groups of people is stimulating and helps to keep the brain alive,” explained Tyburski. Each center has registered nurses on staff who offer the service of managing a client’s medications. “Most of our patients have at least three other ailments and need medication for that, too, which is a bit of a daunting task,” Tyburski said. Often, different doctors have prescribed the medications and they do not interact well with each other. The nurses are able to look at possible problems with medication interaction and work directly with the doctors so that the family does not have to deal with it. The ratio of participants to staff is 5 to 1, so each patient is closely watched the entire period during their stay and wandering is prevented. While they don’t have their own transportation, the centers do help the families by coordinating transportation if needed. Staffers research the schedules of public transportation and
Thanksgiving Day luncheon at a Glenner Memory Care Center. Courtesy photo services like LIFT offered in Encinitas. The founding of the organization 33 years ago came as the result of Dr. George Glenner — an Alzheimer’s researcher and doctor at UC San Diego — receiving a frantic call in the middle of the night from the husband of one of his Alzheimer’s patients. “The man had a loaded gun and was so distraught from caring for his wife that the only solution he could think of was to murder his wife, then commit suicide,” Tyburski said. The stress associated with caring for a dementia patient is overwhelming. “He just couldn’t handle it,” said Tyburski. “That was the only way to get out of his situation, he felt.” Glenner, however, was able to stop that tragic event, and it was then that he and his wife, Joy, decided they needed to open a daycare program to help families going through the same seemingly helpless situation. Tyburski came to work for the centers after her career in insurance. Her mother and her aunt both had Alzheimer’s. Her aunt, diagnosed at 55, passed away at 65 and during that 10-year period went through every ugly stage of the disease, said Tyburski. Her mother then died at age 71, having developed the disease in her 60s. “I watched my own father struggle trying to care of my mother alone,” she recalled. “Like him, so many family members try to tough it out by themselves.” Special programs for the caregivers include support groups led by certified professionals. The Alzheimer’s patient receives free care at the center during that time, enabling the caregiver to attend without extra cost. While daycare is not for everybody, as some clients’ disease may be too advanced, Tyburski wants people to know that the centers exist and are a cost-effective way — at $95 a day — to provide quality care in safe, caring settings. “ We invite people to come and visit us and to evaluate us for themselves,” she said.

SD Botanic Garden Insect Festival is July 25-26 Aspiring entomologists are invited to San Diego Botanic Garden’s Insect Festival from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. July 25-26. This one-of-a-kind festival is sure to intrigue bug devotees of all ages. The Encinitas event features thousands of fascinating creepy-crawlies, including live lizards, snakes and the famous Madagascar hissing cockroaches! The festival is presented by the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club and sponsored by K&M Pest Solutions. Bug collecting, interactive insect arts and crafts, as well as tasty cooked mealworm larva — in various flavors including mesquite, teriyaki and barbecue — are just some of the engaging activities scheduled at the Festival. Local bug experts will be available for questions, and more than 20 educational booths will instruct and entertain children and adults alike. This event is free with paid admission or membership. Children under 12 are free. For information, visit http://www.sdbgarden.org/insect.htm.
Join the Zooinitas Artists second fundraiser as they explore “all creatures great and small” in support of the Rancho Coastal Humane Society Safehouse program. Eleven local artists will be exhibiting in two galleries on historical South Coast Highway 101. Artists are hosted by the Encinitas 101 Mainstreet Association, 2nd Street Gallery and Custom Framing, and 2nd Street Printing. Visit 818/820 S. Coast Highway 101, Encinitas. “We are pleased to be able to provide artists a venue that they can exhibit in as well as promote our community programs,” said Thora Guthrie, executive director, E101 Mainstreet Association. “It becomes a winning situation for everyone when the artists go the extra yard to bring awareness to the arts. This will be a wonderful opportunity for the public.” A free public reception will be held from 1-4 p.m. Aug. 15, where everyone can visit “Gus,” a fantastic 10-foot wooden
sculpture, designed by artist Thomas Thomas, a surprise that will provide refreshments courtesy of BevMo. Join in a raffle with items provided by local businesses and artists with support funding for the RCHS. Pet adoptions will be available at the reception, and a Toys for Pups dropbox — donations for shelter animals — will be on the streets from Aug. 1-15. And check out Pups on Parade — bring your dog and walk the streets in costume. It’s fun for all the family. “It is always special to be part of something bigger than yourself,” said Ehlers, curator of Zooinitas. All are invited on Aug. 15 to experience the world of these incredibly talented artists. The exhibition will be open from Aug. 1 to Sept. 10. This is a must-see for young and old, and is filled with surprises. For information, contact Cheryl Ehlers at zooinitas@gmail.com, 760-519-1551 and visit www.zooinitas.zohosites.com.

Lickety-split! Here’s the scoop on making summer’s frozen bliss BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN July is the celebratory month for ice cream. During the past decade, the nation’s soft spot for frozen delicacies has sparked a creamy, dreamy billion-dollar industry that diversified into serving various cultural preferences, tastes, dietary restrictions and lactose allergies. Here’s a primer to help you get the most fun and flavor from summer’s icy indulgences. Freaky Flavor of the Month Japanese creameries have cornered the market on frightful frosty treat flavors from charcoal, eel and shark fin noodle to horseflesh sushi, sardine brandy and octopus ice creams. A popular flavor from the Czech Republic of Prague is beer, blending dark lager, caster sugar and whipping cream. French gastronomes have concocted such exotics as caviar ice cream with beaucoup white sturgeon Alverta Royal Petrossian eggs, along with foie gras avocado, and fragrant flavors of lavender, jasmine, thyme and rose. Italian Parmesan
and prosciutto ice cream can be enjoyed as an appetizer, a cheese course or a dessert. For domestic lollapaloozas, look for honey garlic, sweet corn and sea salt, candy cap mushroom and jalapeno dill pickle at trendy eateries and ice cream parlors throughout the land.
Frozen Fauxs These dairy-free ice cream doppelgangers are vegan-friendly, easy on the gut for those who are lactose intolerant, and low-fat for the cholesterol-conscious. Such delights, churned from luscious young coconut cream, silky and smooth soy, almond, cashew, hazelnut, oat, hemp and rice “milks,” or icy, fruity sorbets, are refreshing respites on sizzling summer days. Frozen fruits, especially rich creamy bananas, avocados and mango chunks, along with strawberries, blueberries, green grapes, and the zest or juices of key limes and Meyer lemons can be blended with non-dairy bases and honey for a divine dessert with an oomph of fiber, potassium, immune boosting C’s and antioxidants.
The Kitchen Shrink
Frosty Facts The International Dairy Foods Association reports that the average American downs more than 48 pints a year — that’s more than 200 scoops, earning first place for global ice cream consumption. New Zealanders secured second place at 40 pints, Australians snagged third place with 32, and our neighbors to the north a mere 27 pints, eh! Vanilla is top banana for flavor choice, while chocolate limps along at fifth spot, trailing fruit, nut and candy-mix flavors. The decadent HäagenDazs brand was actually created by a pair of Americans named Reuben and Rose Mattus, who dreamed up
the name to exude a sophisticated Danish air. The Danish alphabet does not even contain umlauts (accents).
Top That Toppings aren’t just for kids. They add a layer of flavor, texture, nostalgia (and in some cases, fiber and phytonutrients) to frozen treats. Dial up your next delight with everything from crushed candied pecans, heart-healthy olive oil granola, raw young coconut shreds, candied lavender florets and zippy crystallized ginger chunks to grilled nectarine or pineapple slices, liqueur-drenched berries, organic coffee or fig syrups, and roasted marshmallows with crushed graham crackers for a riff on s’mores. CHERRY ALMOND COMPOTE 1 1/2 pounds Bing cherries, stems removed and pitted 1/2 pound sour cherries, stems removed and pitted 1/3 cup brown sugar (adjust to taste) 2 1/2 teaspoons nut- or fruit-flavored liqueur such as Amaretto (almond),
All different kinds of add-ins elevate the ice cream experience. Courtesy Yogurtland, Del Mar Frangelico (hazelnut) or Kirsch (cherry) 1/2 vanilla pod 1/4 teaspoon almond extract Method: Take a thin knife and slit the vanilla bean (pod) lengthwise, then taking the flat side of the knife, scrape the seeds down the length of the pod. Set aside. In a saucepan, combine cherries, sugar, and vanilla bean seeds, and cook on low to medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and juices flow. Add liqueur and extract, and cook for another minute or two. Remove from heat, cool and store in an airtight container for up to one week. — For additional frosty treat recipes email kitchenshrink@ san.rr.com.
Old Globe’s ‘Baskerville’ is elementary fun, my dear fan BY DIANA SAENGER When Scottish author/physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle created the characters of detective Sherlock Holmes and his friend and biographer, Dr. John H. Watson in the 1800s, Doyle likely had no clue their stories would continue to entertain for centuries. In 1901 Doyle wrote “The Hound of the Baskervilles,” a mystery investigated by Holmes and Watson, which serves as the basis for a new play by Ken Ludwig titled “Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery,” on stage at The Old Globe through Aug. 30. Ludwig has said his aim was to stretch the genres of comedy and mystery by taking a story that plays out on a large scale. Josh Rhodes directs. He was the choreographer for Globe’s “Bright Star” and “Working,” and it was Globe’s artistic director Barry Edelstein who approached him about “Baskerville.” “Barry called me because he thought Ken’s new play needed a visual eye and a director who would keep pace with the characters,” Rhodes explained. “And considering what I did with ‘Bright Star,’ I was the guy. I found Ken’s past plays —‘Lend Me a Tenor’ and ‘Crazy For You,’ amazing. He structured all the characters in perfect comedic peril. I love his work. I’m thrilled to work on his new piece.” Although “Baskerville” is not a musical that needs choreography, it has elements that require maneuvering. “It’s a fast mystery-adventure with five people playing 47 characters that quickly move around and change the environment and rhythm,” Rhodes said. “So creating the transition and a physical life in tone does need some composition direction.” In casting Sherlock Holmes, Rhodes said he sought someone exceedingly intelligent, but also a charmer, who had enough humor so everyone would want to be around him. “Holmes is a super smart man who lives in his brain,” Rhodes said. “He’s a mad scientist and genius, but socially an awkward person. He has to make you believe that people in his home, and Watson, enjoy being around him. “A lot of wonderful people auditioned, but Euan Morton blew me away. He’s passionate, very intelligent and makes sense of Holmes’ path. With Euan you understand what’s going on in Holmes’ mind. Euan wants the audience to come with him, and to me that was the absolute key to getting a Holmes for the stage.” Rhodes hopes audiences will enjoy the production’s fast pace and mix of wit and humor. “I love when we meet all the characters in a hotel lobby and Holmes and Watson finally start to get to the bottom of the mystery,” he said. “All the actors quickly change clothes; three of them change characters twice. That’s when the madness really begins, and I love that scene because that’s when the tone of the show takes off and allows the audience to understand they are in for a fun ride. “It’s always thrilling when you see actors work in a different way. They sweat a little as they transform in front of me and when they go off stage and are frantically changing cos-

As they go off, we wonder who they’re going to be next. “People are drawn to Sherlock Holmes mysteries because they have the same formula that makes the super heroes everyone loves resilient in our culture,” Rhodes said. “Holmes looks at this imperfect world with all its pain, mystery and murder, and actually makes sense of it. His senses are so keen it doesn’t take a crazy car chase or a bunch of guns to make him a hero. It’s actually his brain. I know I get excited to see him get the pipe, coat, hat and magnifying glass and just go.” • IF YOU GO: “Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery,” plays through Aug. 30 at The Old Globe, 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park.

June was a stellar month for home sales, according to Greater San Diego Association of REALTORS Sales of existing homes jumped 7 percent in June compared to the previous month, according to new housing statistics from the Greater San Diego Association of REALTORS® (SDAR). Compared to June of last year, sales of previously owned single-family homes sales are nearly 11 percent higher, and sales of condos/townhomes shot up 20 percent from June of 2014. Median home prices are also on the rise across the board. The median single-family home price was up over 4 percent in June ($547,500), compared to May, and the price of condos and townhomes also rose by nearly 2 percent, month over month ($354,000). Active listings on the Multiple Listing Service (MLS) have reached the 7,000 mark. However, the housing stock remains at about 2.6 months. (Five to six months is considered a healthy inventory level.) Homes are being scooped up at an astonishing rate, averaging about 34 days from listing to close of escrow. “There’s a lot to smile about when we look at the first half of 2015,” said SDAR’s 2015 Board President Chris Anderson. “Inventory is probably the only factor reining in the market, and with so few new homes being built, potential sellers only need to look at these statistics to see that buyers are virtually waiting at their doorstep.”

from its annual gala, held outdoors on The Prado in Balboa Park every July. Proceeds are divided among three of the museums each year. This year, the Patrons aimed to raise $1.1 million for all 11 institutions along The Prado: the San Diego Museum of Man, San Diego Museum of Art, San Diego History Center, The Old Globe Theatre, San Diego Junior Theatre, Reuben H. Fleet Science Center, Museum of Photographic Arts, Mingei International Museum, Timken Museum of Art, San Diego Hall of Champions and San Diego Natural History Museum. “This year, because it’s the 100th anniversary of Balboa Park, we decided we would raise our goal and give to every museum on The Prado,” said Rovsek, who is third vice president of membership for Patrons of the Prado. “The cause is important because of what the park is, what it does and what it brings to San Diego,” she added. “It’s our jewel.” For more about the Patrons of the Prado, visit www.patronsoftheprado.org.
