Carmel Valley board backs city’s ambitious Climate Action Plan

BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board has joined nine other community planning groups by sending a letter of support for San Diego’s draft Climate Action Plan. The board voted to support the plan at its June 25 meeting after hearing a second presentation from the Climate Action Campaign, an organization that seeks to ensure that the city stands its ground and keeps its Climate Action Plan aggressive and ambitious.

San Diego’s draft Climate Action Plan includes the goals of reducing greenhouse gases 50 percent by 2035, more ambitious than Gov. Jerry Brown’s goal of 40 percent by 2030.

The plan has five main strategies to reach the reduction of greenhouse gas targets: energy- and water-efficient buildings; clean and renewable energy; bicycling, walking and transit; zero waste; climate resiliency.

The City Council is expected to vote on the draft plan in January 2016.

The Climate Action Campaign is a fairly new organization, founded in January 2015 by Nicole Capretz.

Capretz was one of the authors of a draft plan under interim-Mayor Todd Gloria and served as the chair of the city’s Economic and Environmental Sustainability Task Force for three See CLIMATE, page 22

Santa Fe district customers slash water use by 42 percent in May

BY JOE TASH Customers of the Santa Fe Irrigation District cut their water use by 42 percent in May, and initial figures show they are on track to reach a target of 36 percent cuts for June, district officials said.

“We want to thank our customers for working hard to do their part during this unprecedented drought,” said district General Manager Michael Bardin in a prepared statement.

“We are really proud of the way customers are responding in such a dramatic way to our outreach

want the rules more relaxed.

The city received 28 applications for the nine-person committee. The council made its appointments during the June 15 council meeting.

Council members selected former design review

and water conservation programs.”

In May, the district’s board of directors imposed water “allocations,” or rationing, for the first time in the district’s 92-year history. Directors also voted to impose penalties for those who use more than their bimonthly water allocation, and to increase fines for violations of water-use regulations.

The actions came in response to an April 1 order by Gov. Jerry Brown for California residents to cut their water use by 25 percent, because

of the ongoing state drought, now in its fourth year.

The Santa Fe district serves Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch.

The state released official figures for May on July 1, and they show that the Santa Fe district, with its 42 percent reduction, is not alone. Statewide, residents cut their water use by 28.9 percent in comparison with the same month in 2013, while city of San Diego residents cut back by 26

DM council favors renewing tourism district, but differs over length of contract

BY KRISTINA HOUCK With Del Mar’s Tourism Business Improvement District set to expire later this year, the Del Mar City Council on July 6 unanimously declared its intention to renew the district.

“I think it’s a good thing,” said Councilman Don Mosier. “We’ve got all the hotels in town working together. They know each other. There may be some general competition, but everybody’s getting more customers, more heads in beds.”

After its annual report to the council last month, the district proposed a new management plan during the July 6 meeting.

The council authorized the formation of the district in September 2010, allowing hotel operators to charge guests a 1 percent fee that’s used to attract more visitors to the city. Five years later, the tourism district is set to automatically expire at the end of September.

If renewed, city staff estimates the district would generate approximately $205,000 annually. The city would receive a fee of 1 percent of the amount collected to cover its administration costs — approximately $2,050 per year.

A representative from each of Del Mar’s hotels, motels and inns — Del Mar Inn/Clarion, Del Mar Motel on the Beach, Hotel Indigo, L’Auberge Del Mar, Les Artistes Inn and Secret Garden Inn — make up Visit Del Mar, the nonprofit created by the district to manage the assessments. Visit Del Mar was

incorporated in 2010 and received tax-exempt status in March 2011.

General managers of five of the hotels, as well as L’Auberge Del Mar’s director of sales and marketing, sit on the board. The board meets monthly at one of the hotels.

To save on time and money, the proposed management plan would renew the district for 10 years from Oct. 1, 2015 through Sept. 30, 2025.

Shaun Beucler, general manager of L’Auberge Del Mar, said it took the district about six months to prepare for the renewal process. Richard Earnest, a former Del Mar mayor who now serves as board president of the Del Mar Village Association, added that it cost the district about $35,000 to prepare for the renewal process, which covers administrative and legal costs.

There are 92 tourism business improvement districts in the state and similar districts in nine states across the county, explained John Lambeth of Civitas Advisors.

He pointed out that once a district is established, it is often renewed for 10 years. San Francisco renewed its district for 15 years, Anaheim renewed its district for 30 years and San Diego renewed its district for 40 years, he said.

“We are seeing this trend toward longer terms in the district, and that really is because of the sense that if it’s up, if it’s running, if it’s working, to give it a longer term,” Lambeth said. “You don’t have to go through the renewal effort again.”

CV Community Planning Board consolidates its district map

BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board voted to reduce the number of Carmel Valley residential district seats on the board, from 10 to six.

The new community district map combines Neighborhoods 3 and 7, encompassing the area north of Del Mar Heights Road from High Bluff Drive to Lansdale Drive.

Neighborhoods 8 and 8a, south of SR-56, merge and Neighborhoods 2, 9 and 1 also combine.

Some residents believe state’s water-use restrictions are all wet

BY JOE TASH As San Diego County residents take shorter showers and watch their lawns turn brown in an effort to meet Gov. Jerry Brown’s order of a 25 percent across-theboard statewide cut in water use, some local residents are questioning the fairness and necessity of the austerity measures.

Solana Beach residents Catherine Dickerson and her husband, Bill Stoops, and neighbor Don Billings all point to the fact that San Diego County does not have a water shortage like other parts of the state. Rather than falling in line with the governor’s order, they said, the county should fight back.

Across the county, water agencies have ramped up restrictions on water use; in most areas, residents are only allowed to water their lawns and gardens twice a week for a few minutes at a time. In the Santa Fe Irrigation District, which serves Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe and Fairbanks Ranch, officials have been ordered by the state to reduce water demand by 36 percent, or face fines of up to $10,000 per day.

In response, the district has imposed water rationing for the first time in its 92-year history. Residents who use more than their allotment of water over a two-month period face penalties, as well as potential fines for violating water-use rules.

That has left residents such as Dickerson, Stoops and Billings fuming. “It sounds like a dictator,� said Dickerson of Brown’s order. “‘I’m going to tell you how to live your life. You can’t pursue your own values.’ That enrages me.�

Dickerson was so mad she started a website, www.watersandiego.org, which aims to inform county residents on water issues, and

has begun attending water agency meetings.

She and her husband recently showed a reporter around their property, which includes a large lawn, rose garden, koi pond and waterfall, and dozens of colorful fuchsia plants.

The couple, who are now retired, created the garden with their own hands, toiling hundreds of hours in their spare time while working, she as a psychotherapist and he as an engineer. “I’m advocating technology over deprivation,� said Dickerson. “The answer to the water problem, like it is to every human problem of supply and demand, is technology, not dirt and rocks.�

That’s why she contends that the new order of strict water cutbacks, supported by fines and penalties, should be abandoned.

That way, each resident can decide for him or herself what type of landscaping to have. “If someone wants rocks and succulents, it’s none of my business,� she said. “If I want hollyhocks and lisianthus, it’s not theirs.�

Billings stressed that San Diego County water agencies and their customers have spent vast sums of money over the past 25 years to create new, reliable sources of water.

Those projects have ranged from lining canals in Imperial County to reduce water waste, to a new, privately funded desalination plant that will come on line in Carlsbad this fall. Local water agencies have committed to buying the drinking water produced by the plant. “Sue the state. Riverside is doing it. Sue the governor. He’s making a declaration of a shortage. We don’t have a shortage,� Billings said.

The district could also refuse to follow the state mandates and pay the fines, which

Catherine Dickerson and Bill Stoops sit in the backyard garden of their Solana Beach home. “I’m advocating technology over deprivation,� said Dickerson.

Photo by Joe Tash would be less of a financial hit than reducing water sales revenue by 36 percent, Billings said. “Do your job, (water) board. If you’re not going to do your job, resign,� he said.

Michael Hogan, president of the Santa Fe Irrigation District board and a member of the San Diego County Water Authority board, said San Diego County water agencies have invested in many different projects to enhance the local water supply. As a result, San Diego County can now provide for 30 percent of its annual water needs, compared with 5 percent in the past. The percentage will continue to increase, he said, but the county still imports most of its water. “The truth of the matter is that, looking out beyond one year, with regard to available supplies, they’re greatly threatened in the following years,� Hogan said. “We have to manage this from a multi-year approach. Conserving now under the governor’s mandate allows us the opportunity to manage our water supplies more effectively; that will reduce more se-

vere cutbacks in the following years ‌ and have the least impact on residents and businesses and ultimately on the economy.�

Water agencies have embraced technology, either adopting or studying a number of options, from water-efficient devices for homes, to recycling wastewater, which can be treated, blended with water in reservoirs, and then purified for household use, Hogan said. “That’s what the (county) water authority and member agencies have been doing already, and there’s been a lot of progress,� Hogan said. “This doesn’t happen overnight.�

He rejected calls for the district to ignore the state mandates. “That’s not an acceptable approach with the current board of directors, and I know of no agency that’s taking that approach,� Hogan said. “It would be contrary to my duties as a sworn public official to not make every effort possible to comply with the directives from the state. “It’s a crisis, and I think people need to realize that,� he said.

After eight years with Polytrack, Del Mar starts new dirt track era • Racecourse set to open July 16 for 40-day season

BY ED ZIERALSKI SPECIAL TO THE CV NEWS, DM TIMES, SB SUN The Monday after the San Diego County Fair ends — July 6 — is moving day, with the carnival and rides heading out and the Del Mar horse racing crew coming in, and in this case, starting a new era of racing at the seaside oval.

Dirt is back at Del Mar on its main track for the first time since 2006. Del Mar took out the old troublesome Polytrack and replaced it with El Segundo sand, excavated from the grounds around Los Angeles Airport. For the first time since 2006, all three tracks racing in Southern California — Del Mar, Santa Anita and Los Alamitos — will have dirt main tracks. And Del Mar and Santa Anita will have the exact same reddishbrown material.

Track superintendent Richard Tedesco said he’ll use July 6, 7, and 8 to unseal and prepare the dirt track for what will be an expanded summer racing season of 40 days, starting July 16. Horses will begin training Thursday morning. There will be another 20 days of racing in the fall.

Joe Harper, president and CEO of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, said the project cost “in the $5 million range.” It marks two straight years that Del Mar will open with a new running surface. Last year, it was the turf course, and Harper doesn’t want a repeat of that when the course had to be

closed because of breakdowns. That would be unacceptable on the dirt track, but Harper and Tedesco expect no such problems.

“Last summer, we had the breakdowns on the turf course, and everybody was saying the turf course was bad,” Harper said earlier in the spring. “But nobody on the turf course was saying that. The jockeys weren’t saying it, the trainers weren’t saying it. We didn’t think it was bad. We don’t anticipate any issues at all. The dirt really has a different look, and the grass course is a year older. The longer the roots are, the more stable the footing will be.”

In 2007, the California Horse Racing Board mandated that all California race tracks go to synthetic surfaces because of an increase in horse breakdowns. But Harper believes Del Mar had the right surface, just the wrong dirt.

“Fact is, statistically, if you look at the raw data, there are less catastrophic breakdowns on synthetics than dirt,” Harper said.

“Certainly less here than there was on our old dirt. But our old dirt wasn’t good. Hopefully, this will be a different type of dirt track.”

Harper said Del Mar will continue the same procedures it went to last July when it began scrutinizing horses more closely. That led to more on-track scratches just before races, but Harper and his crew feel that is a small cost to pay for racing safety. It all led to a flawless fall without one breakdown.

On July 6, after the San Diego County Fair, the carnival leaves and the Del Mar Fairgrounds is set up for horse racing — 40 days this year, starting with the July 16 opener. Photo courtesy of Ed Zieralski

DM filmmaker finalist in Qualcomm challenge Pacific Ridge CV/DM students experience Del Mar filmmaker Peter Hulst has reached the finals of a special challenge that is part of the San Diego Film Festival, produced by the nonprofit San Diego Film Foundation.

The foundation selected three finalists for the Qualcomm Ultra HD 4K Mobile Challenge.

Competitors were asked to use the notyet-released Motorola Droid Turbo Ultra HD 4K smartphone, powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 805 processor, to create their entries. Qualcomm Snapdragon is a product of Qualcomm Technologies, Inc., a subsidiary of Qualcomm Incorporated.

The finalists’ short films will be featured at a red carpet premiere July 20 at the ArcLight Theater in San Diego, where the winner will be announced and awarded $5,000 and a VIP package for this year’s Film Festival.

The three finalists are: • Hulst of Del Mar: “Stilling the Mind,” a whirlwind of sharp, decisive images set to the lyrical composition of a retro-styled fe-

“Stilling the Mind” is a whirlwind of sharp, decisive images set to the lyrical composition of a retro-styled female guitar player. male guitar player.

• Eva Merz of Los Angeles: “Ars Vivendi (The Art of Living),” a musical tale of a young dancer who must find a way to let go of her unfaithful boyfriend.

• Nathan and Andrew Garcia of Boise, Idaho: “The Watchman,” a lone Watchman must trek through the elements to deliver a warning after his ship crash-lands in the wilderness.

“Our ultimate goal is to promote independent filmmaking. Through this challenge, we encouraged up-and-coming filmmakers to ‘think outside the box’ and familiarize themselves with the latest technologies available from Qualcomm Technologies and Motorola,” explained Tonya Mantooth, vice president and director of programming for the San Diego Film Festival.

DM Doubletree Hotel sold for $40M

BY LORI WEISBERG SPECIAL TO THE CV NEWS, DM TIMES, SB SUN The 224-room DoubleTree San Diego Del Mar hotel has been sold to a San Diego firm for $40 million, marking the fourth San Diego lodging property to sell in the last couple of months.

The buyer, Southwest Value Partners, a private real estate investment firm that focuses on commercial, hospitality and residential properties, declined to comment on its purchase. Among its holdings are the Westin Hilton Head Island Resort & Spa The 224-room Doubletree San Diego Del Mar hotel has in South Carolina, the Intersold to a San Diego-based real estate investment firm Continental New Orleans for $40 million. Photo courtesy CBRE Hotels and the Westin San Diego on West Broadway downtown.

Brokering the sale on behalf of the seller, PHF Ruby LLC (an affiliate of Fillmore Capital), was CBRE Hotels. The 5-story property on El Camino Real in Carmel Valley originally opened in 1991 and underwent a partial renovation in 2012.

While CBRE would not reveal the sale price of the hotel, it was listed as $40 million by Real Capital Analytics, a research company that tracks hotel sales throughout the country.

Based on the per-room sales price, it appears Southwest made a good deal, said hotel analyst Alan Reay.

“At a per room price of $180,995, it is at the lower end of the sales comp price range and well below the replacement cost for this asset,” said Reay, president of Orange Countybased Atlas Hospitality Group. “Strong interest from overseas buyers, as well as local players, such as Southwest Value Partners, REITs and private equity firms are all driving prices and strong interest in the hotel sector. San Diego and in particular, the Del Mar market, are considered a very desirable hotel investment market.”

Given some of the recent prices that hotels have commanded, it has become increasingly attractive for owners to sell, Reay added.

Other recent sales include the 219-room DoubleTree Hotel in Mission Valley, the 417room Hyatt Regency La Jolla and the nearly 400-acre Grand Del Mar Resort, which sold for $230 million. In that transaction, the hotel’s developer, Doug Manchester, retained a 12 percent ownership interest.

The DoubleTree in Carmel Valley will continue to operate under the DoubleTree by Hilton brand, but Southwest Value Partners has retained Dimension Development Company to manage it. Dimension manages a number of mid-scale hotels throughout the country.

George Biddle and Anthony Albright of Del Mar and Julien Barthelemy and Max Levin of Carmel Valley are four of more than 500 Pacific Ridge School students and staff who spent the past few weeks experiencing academic, service learning, and cultural experiences around the world.

During the school’s yearend global travel period, students in grades 7-10 travel to the Santa Monica Mountains (seventh grade), Williamsburg (eighth grade), China (ninth grade) and the NorthPacific Ridge School freshman George Biddle of Del Mar ern Sierra (10th grade).

Biddle, a freshman, traveled to China with the ninth-grade class. Following various itineraries, groups of students explored ancient and modern Beijing, hiked the Great Wall and headed to two distinctly different parts of China: the provinces of Guangxi and Yunnan. Students’ activities ranged from volunteering labor and teaching at rural primary schools, learning about rice Pacific Ridge School students in front of the Altiplano farming and tea production, Lakes during an astronomy-themed trip to Chile. exploring monasteries, Chi- Courtesy photo nese cooking lessons, regional dancing, and homestays with local families in Shanghai.

Albright, a senior, traveled with a group to Northern Ireland, where students examined the community’s struggle to overcome entrenched political conflict. Students met with youth and adult leaders of both the nationalist and loyalist communities and conversed at length with journalists who covered the period of “the Troubles.” To better understand the economic and political aspects of the conflict, students explored areas of Belfast, visited the Crumlin Road Gaol and toured the Northern Ireland Assembly at Stormont. They met with several former members of political and paramilitary groups involved in the conflict, who are now seeking to solve the area’s economic problems and achieve meaningful reconciliation. The trip also included a stay in Dublin, visits to the Giant’s Causeway and Dunluce Castle, and hiking and kayaking in Belfast’s beautiful Tollymore Outdoor Centre.

Barthelemy, a senior, traveled with a group to Thailand, where students met with several non-governmental organizations working to combat human trafficking. Through discussion with organizational leaders and volunteers, students were able to gain perspective on the global issue and national efforts to rescue and reintegrate victims and to empower women. The group also completed homestays in rural Mae Kampong and Chiang Rai, where they were hosted by the Akha hill tribe. Students worked alongside villagers on a construction project and were treated to a farewell feast complete with traditional song and dance and blessings from the tribal elders. The trip also included exploration of Bangkok’s Grand Palace, markets and monasteries, and a visit to an elephant sanctuary.

Levin, also a senior, traveled with a group to Chile for an astronomy-themed trip that began in La Serena, a town known for clear skies that make for excellent stargazing and world-class observatories. The group took day trips to Valle del Encanto, home to 3,000-year-old petroglyphs left behind by native Chilean Mapuche people, and Isla de Damas, home to a Humboldt penguin reserve. Highlights of the trip included speaking with astronomers and checking out the equipment at the El Panique and Cerro-Tololo InterAmerican observatories. There, students were able to glimpse the ancient craters of the moon, the swirling orange clouds of Jupiter, the impressive rings of Saturn, and more, through the eyepiece of some of the world’s most advanced telescopes.

These students weren’t the only local residents to take part in Pacific Ridge School’s global travel program. On trips to over 20 destinations worldwide, students studied the fight against human trafficking in Thailand, explored social justice and ecology in South Africa, worked with school children in El Salvador, and more.

New mosaic in Torrey Hills to feature butterflies made by local children •P ublic invited to learn more about the project at July 11 event

BY KAREN BILLING Torrey Hills Shopping Center has commissioned Carmel Valley mosaic artists Helen Segal and Barbi Dorfan to design and build a mosaic art installation at the center’s fountain, integrating 2,000 ceramic butterflies created by children at 10 local schools. Segal and Dorfan began working on the fountain last week.

The butterflies in the fountain are part of the Butterfly Project, founded by educator Jon Landau and artist Cheryl Rattner Price in 2006 at San Diego Jewish Academy. The butterflies are painted to represent the 1.5 million children who were murdered during the Holocaust.

The art project paired with a meaningful lesson in history has now become a global unifying art movement that has reached over 120,000 participants. Every butterfly painted memorializes a child that was lost and a voice that is gained.

The public is welcome to come learn more about the project and paint a butterfly on Saturday, July 11, from 12-2 p.m. at Torrey Hills Shopping Center (4639-4653 Carmel Mountain Road | San Diego, CA 92130).

When completed, the center of the fountain will feature landscaping and three mosaic women reaching to catch the butterflies.

Special gesture comes back around for retiring Del Mar fire captain

BY KRISTINA HOUCK After 25 years of dedication to Del Mar, Fire Capt.

Patrick O’Neil is stepping down from his post at the Del Mar Fire Department.

In celebration of his service to the community, a special person from O’Neil’s past recently paid him a surprise visit.

During his time with the department, O’Neil has served the community in more ways than one. In addition to fighting fires, he has always looked for ways to give back to others.

About 17 years ago, Del Mar residents Richard and Jackee Earnest contacted the department and asked whether someone could visit a sick child in the hospital. At the time, Richard Earnest was Mayor of Del Mar. O’Neil not only stepped up to the task, but went to the hospital in full gear to meet 3-year-old Vidal Woody, who had pneumonia.

“I always wanted to be

a fireman,” Woody recalled.

“He’s been my personal fireman ever since then.”

Now 20, Woody has served in the U.S. Navy for more than a year. On June 24, in full uniform, he visited O’Neil.

“He was pretty sick when I first saw him,” O’Neil said.

The Earnest family, who has known Woody ever since he was a toddler, coordinated the surprise visit.

Jackee Earnest met Woody’s mother, Giselle Flynn, while she was volunteering at the San Diego’s Women’s Center. The two have been friends ever since.

“It was great; it made him so happy,” recalled Flynn, whose son was hospitalized for two weeks.

“Firemen make a difference everywhere,” added Richard Earnest. “But to make a difference in a person’s life like this is completely outside of work, really. They can contribute all kinds of ways.”

(Left) Patrick O’Neil and Vidal Woody when Vidal was 3. (Right) Vidal Woody (left) is now 20 and has served in the U.S. Navy for more than a year. He is pictured with former Del Mar Mayor Richard Earnest (right).

Courtesy photos Shortly after Woody recovered, he visited his personal fireman at the Del Mar station. Until last week, that was the last time the two had seen each other.

“It’s such a heartwarming feeling to see him — and in his dress whites,” O’Neil said.

After earning a fire science degree at San Diego Mira-

mar College, O’Neil started his career at the La Mesa Fire Department. Shortly after, he came to Del Mar 25 years ago.

His last day with the department was July 5.

“I’ve enjoyed helping people and our community,” O’Neil said. “The job was the best job ever.”

Local students conquer Channel swim with Arch Academy teams

BY DIANE Y. WELCH The water was a chilly 54 degrees, at times choppy, and swimmers had to dodge jellyfish, but the conditions did not deter the iron will of two relay swim teams who braved the English Channel to successfully complete the 22-mile crossing, placing first and second against seven other teams.

It was the culmination of years of open ocean training and the 12 students of San Diego’s Arch Academy, with one alternate — split into teams Zombie A and Zombie B — made the crossing in 13 hours 8 minutes, and 13 hours 4 minutes, respectively, on June 25, without wetsuits or fins.

They set out at 4 a.m. British Summer Time from Dover, England, and arrived in France around 6 p.m. local time. It was an incredible accomplishment for the teens — who named their swim teams The Zombie Patrol because of their pre-dawn wake-up times for practice swims at La Jolla Cove.

Each team member covered about a mile, completing two or three rotations that spanned the 22-mile English Channel from Dover to Calais, using rules laid down by the Channel Swimming Association.

While overseas, the students’ discipline included no calls home. Instead, a daily blog informed everyone of each day’s activities.

After the channel swim, Lisa Weinreb blogged that the team had had “an intense day both emotionally and physically. They are a little sunburned, a little stinky, and riding an incredible high from conquering the seemingly insurmountable goal they had set for themselves.”

The students trained for some of the week with two Australian teams, and part of the satisfaction of the win was beating both by about an hour.

Making all of this possible was Arch Academy, a Kearny Mesa-based school that welcomes students with autism, ADHD, bipolar disorder, anxiety, substance abuse and learning disabilities. The private school serves K-12 students “who are not flourishing in other schools,” according to its website.

The school, co-founded by Cheryl Zak and Art Aragon in 1996, and then called RESCU, has a curriculum that includes swim lessons.

Zak, a licensed clinical social worker, was also a medalist for the swim team at her alma mater, Ohio State University, and is able to coach her students well.

Carmel Valley resident Blair Lindberg until recently had two of her children, Betzi and Paul, at Arch Academy. Betzi is a graduate heading to the College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, Maine, while Paul will be entering his senior year in the fall.

Students swam 150 laps, three times a week at Santee YMCA to train. This led to ocean swims of one, two or four miles; as students improved, their names went on a plaque. “The kids worked hard to achieve this recognition,” said Lindberg.

Stepping up their game, students then trained for a year to swim the choppy, cold bay water from Alcatraz Island to San Francisco, which they completed in June 2014. In August, they swam the 22 miles from Catalina Island to Palos Verdes.

All team members’ names were added to the Doorway of Fame in the White Horse pub

Testing the waters in Dover, England. The Arch Academy Zombies braved the English Channel for a successful crossing, placing first and second against seven other teams.

Courtesy photo in Dover, and each received a medal adding to the list of former Channel swimmers.

“We fought tall waves, jellyfish, currents, fatigue, cold, fear, frustration, and avoidance, sometimes all in a single practice, and we helped each other through it,” wrote Betzi.

“Through this experience I believe that we have gained an invaluable intrinsic self-motivation.”

While this was a swim adventure for the teams, it was also a life lesson, commented Lindberg. “Paul is opening his eyes in ways he’s never done before, which is exactly why the school takes them on these international trips,” she said. “The trips also help the kids open up their eyes to themselves.”

Piece by piece, Del Mar engineering intern learns about India

BY KRISTINA HOUCK As an engineering student, Kyle Joyner said he solves big problems by “taking them apart and tackling them piece by piece.” That’s how the Del Mar native is tackling his summer internship in India.

Joyner, who is about halfway through the program, is helping conduct a feasibility study on incorporating renewable energy into rural schools.

“In India, electricity is a big problem,” said Joyner, 21, a Torrey Pines High School alum, who begins his senior year at UC Berkeley in the fall.

“In a lot of India, especially in the rural parts of India, the villagers are underserved when it comes to having electricity,” he explained, adding that while most schools have power, it is shut off during work hours.

Lending his hands: SB chiropractor donates services to veterans, needy

BY PAM KRAGEN SPECIAL TO THE DEL MAR TIMES, CARMEL VALLEY NEWS, SOLANA BEACH SUN In 1987, 20-year-old Steve Ronco was nearly killed in a car accident that slammed his head and right leg through a windshield at 80 miles an hour. Doctors said they would need to fuse his lower spine if he wanted to walk again, and that his athletic days were over.

But Ronco refused the surgery and created his own rehabilitation program of nutrition, cycling and regular visits to a chiropractor.

Within 10 years he was not only walking, he was running triathlons. At age 30, the Solana Beach resident quit his job as a restaurant manager to study chiropractic medicine so he could help others find their way back to good health.

“I asked myself, if this is the reason why I can walk, why am I not a chiropractor? This is what I’m supposed to be doing,” he said.

Since 2001, Ronco has run Torrey Hills Chiropractic, where besides his regular patients he donates his services to wounded military veterans, low-income patients and children who

have been injured in car accidents. One of them is Izaiah Wallis, the 5-year-old Vista toddler known as “Baby Izaiah” who was left paralyzed and unable to walk by a 17-year-old drunken driver in 2010. Since the day Izaiah came home from the hospital in 2011, he has received free weekly treatments from Ronco.

“We notice a big difference when he’s been to see Dr. Ronco, and so do his physical therapists. His legs are all fired up,” said Jacob Wallis, 25, Izaiah’s father and full-time caregiver.

“From day one, he hasn’t charged us a penny and no matter how busy his schedule gets, he always manages to squeeze us in. He’s become part of the family.”

Ronco said he feels a deep commitment to help others because that was the lesson taught by his father, who died at 44 from a brain tumor just a few years after he, too, was injured when his head went through a windshield. Ronco was 10 years old at the time.

“Today I wear the medal my father was wearing when he died. He’s my guardian angel. In my world, I was given another

chance, and not many people get second chances like that,” he said. “I can’t justify sitting here and not helping someone just because they can’t pay. Nothing compares to putting your hands on somebody and they’re better for it.”

Ronco grew up in Pennsylvania’s Pocono Mountains, where he started working in restaurants as a teenager. After moving to San Diego, he worked as a food and beverage manager for the California Pizza Kitchen and Marriott hotel chains in San Diego and Palm Springs.

The same year he gave up his career to go to chiropractic school, he married his wife, Lisa, who now works at the clinic, too.

They have three children: Robert, 11, Zoey, 9, and CJ, 6.

Three years ago, Ronco had an experience while running in a triathlon (he has run 48, including a full Ironman last year) that led him to his latest cause, the Challenged Athletes Foundation (CAF).

While competing in the race, Ronco saw a man running on a prosthetic leg who had stopped because of a

Dr. Steve Ronco performs chiropractic work on Travis Ricks, who lost a leg because of complications from cancer. Ronco donates his services to Travis Ricks and others from the Challenged Athletes Foundation, including at this surf camp recently near the Del Mar lifeguard station. Photo by Charlie Neuman cramped hip muscle. Ronco had the same cramping after his car accident, so he showed the man how to use his hands to press the nerves around his hip. The pain stopped and the man was able to resume the race.

A few days later, Ronco related the story to one of the other dads on his son’s soccer team. That dad was Nico Marcolongo, senior program manager for the CAF’s Operation Rebound Program. The free program helps disabled military veterans and first responders return to physical fitness with therapy, sports clinics, equipment, race fees and more.

For the past two years, Ronco has donated his services one morning every week to Operation Rebound. Usually the treatments take place at his Carmel Valley clinic, but this summer he’s working from a portable tent near the beach in Del Mar, where CAF runs a weekly surf camp for 100 disabled vets. One morning last week, the surf camp participants stood by with curiosity and fascination as one by one, the patients sat on Ronco’s portable table for 10- to

15-minute treatments.

Marcolongo, a 12-year Marine Corps veteran, became a believer two years ago, when he started having weekly treatments to deal with post-traumatic stress caused by two tours in Iraq.

“The chiropractic keeps me calmer, allows me to be more efficient and helps reduce my need for meds,” Marcolongo said, after a quick treatment. “See, I’m jelly right now.”

Another regular patient is Travis Ricks, who lost his right leg to a staph infection after a bout with cancer at 17. Ricks was once a competitive wrestler, and through the foundation he became an athlete again.

He’s now a paralympic volleyball champ, a triathlete and the head wrestling coach at Clairemont High.

“I feel like Steve (Ronco) has released me and allowed me to be more flexible,” said Ricks, who now works as a CAF program manager. “He has found a way to open up my lower back and hips.”

Gary Montoya, 67, seemed skeptical when he approached Ronco’s table at See CHIROPRACTOR, page 23

Education Matters/Opinion DM settles with former employee, and other money matters

BY MARSHA SUTTON The Del Mar Union School District and permanent certificated emp l o y e e , Marsha Sutton known as #199-415, have agreed to settle their differences.

This is according to an “Employment Separation, Settlement Agreement and Release of All Claims” document which was approved by the DMUSD Board of Trustees on May 11 at a special closed session board meeting.

The employee, identified only as a female teacher, went on paid administrative leave at an unspecified date before May 11. The district has paid her full regular salary and benefits, less taxes and other regular withholdings, through June 30, 2015.

The district also agreed to pay the teacher, who is no longer employed by the district, the amount of $57,994.46, which is equivalent to “her compensation and fringe benefits otherwise afforded were her employment to continue through January 2016.”

This amount will be subject to regular payroll deductions and other legal withholdings and will be paid out on or before July 30, 2015.

In the agreement, the district “contends that causes exist to discipline #199-415” but agreed to “cease its investigation(s) related to allegations of any misconduct” and not recommend dismissal, suspension or any other type of disciplinary action against the employee.

Employee #199-415 “denies the district’s allegations” and “does not admit that she committed acts or omissions constituting misconduct.”

The agreement states that she voluntarily chose to resign her permanent certificated employment and to waive her tenure rights and the right to future employment with the district.

Should an inquiry about the employee be received from a potential employer in the future, the district “shall promptly respond to the inquiry by disclosing/confirming only: #199-415’s years of employment with the district, that she was last assigned as teacher at (school redacted), her salary (if requested), and the fact that she resigned her employment voluntarily.”

Parties have agreed to respond if asked: “The matter has been satisfactorily resolved. #199-415 has voluntarily resigned her employment.”

Both parties release the other from all claims, grievances and actions, “whether actual or potential, known or unknown” — and agreed that nothing in the agreement “shall be construed for any purpose as an admission of fault, error, wrongdoing or liability.”

The parties also agreed that the settlement represents “the full and complete resolution of doubtful and disputed issues.”

Del Mar’s trustees met several times in closed session prior to May 11 to discuss this matter, which was referenced in board meeting agendas as “Public Employee Evaluation/Dismissal/Discipline/Release.”

Both parties agreed to keep the settlement confidential and not disclose or publish the terms of the agreement “to any third party except as may be required by court order, lawful subpoena or law (i.e., Brown Act, California Public Records Act or Freedom of Information Act).”

A copy of the settlement agreement was legally obtained through a California Public Records Act request, but was redacted in many parts.

Further, each party “shall be solely responsible for any and all attorneys’ fees and costs paid or incurred by that party related to any matter referred to in this agreement …”

DMUSD superintendent Holly McClurg said the district’s legal fees related to this item came to $13,400.

Representing the district was attorney Daniel Shinoff of Stutz Artiano Shinoff and Holtz. Representing the employee was Jon Vanderpool of the firm Smith, Steiner, Vanderpool, & Wax. Both are San Diego firms.

Shinoff focuses on the defense of school districts, including grievances, tort claims, negligence, discrimination, wrongful termination, sexual harassment and civil rights issues.

Vanderpool’s practice areas, according to the firm’s website, are employment, labor (education law) and personal injury. The firm focuses on the rights of workers, “representing them individually in wrongful termination and employment discrimination cases … and representing their unions in the fight for better wages,

benefits and working conditions.”

McClurg would not confirm the identity of the employee, nor would she say the cause of the dispute. Surely many in the district know, but for now no one is talking.

Who it is doesn’t really matter. What matters is that taxpayers know that significant general fund money has been spent on this settlement. And since the public is not privy to details, we can only hope the district’s elected officials are making wise decisions and are being good stewards of public funds.

More money for teachers In other Del Mar Union School District news, an agreement was signed between the district and the Del Mar California Teachers Association that increases the salary structure 1.71 percent, effective June 1, 2015.

This increase is apart from the annual raises teachers automatically receive each year through the step-and-column process.

Steps and columns refer to the numbers of years worked and education credentials.

In addition, employees will each receive a one-time bonus of $500 if hired prior to Dec. 31, 2014, and $250 if hired after that date. Both certificated and classified staff, including administration, will receive the bonuses, which are being paid from the general fund.

“The cost including labor for certificated is $159,000 and classified is $89,000, for a total of $248,000,” McClurg said of the bonuses.

One assumes a healthy outlook for the district, given the raises and bonuses, and indeed the budget provided at the June 24 meeting indicates a positive forecast for the coming year.

According to the agenda item, state revenues for the DMUSD are expected to increase from $180 to $601 per pupil, which McClurg said will not be used for increased salaries since it’s one-time money.

Instead, the money will go toward renovations, upgrades, equipment and technology infrastructure.

“The district plans to utilize the funds for facility improvements, technology (K-2), refreshing student Chromebooks (3-6), and refreshing technology in our computer labs,” McClurg said.

The district projects revenue and expenditures of $10,981 per pupil, for a budget of about $48.4 million (calculated using an estimated enrollment of 4,407 for 20152016).

GO bond Given the decidedly rosier financial outlook for the DMUSD, property owners should be skeptical of a possible General Obligation bond the district seems inclined

to propose.

A facilities master plan has identified about $40 million worth of renovations, modernization and other building improvements that district officials would like to see happen at each of their eight schools.

“There are projects on the list that are very essential, and we need to face the brutal fact that we do not have the funding,” McClurg said in a news story last month in this newspaper.

Board president Doug Rafner, as reported in the story, said the district might need to consider solutions like a General Obligation bond.

Given the recent settlement agreement, related legal fees, raises and bonuses for teachers, and a healthy infusion of new local and state funding, many of us are unconvinced that a GO bond is necessary.

Nevertheless, evidence suggests that voters can anticipate the DMUSD to move forward with a bond initiative next year, so the community should pay careful attention to this issue as details emerge.

Local property owners are already paying for San Dieguito Union High School District’s $449 million GO bond that narrowly passed in 2012. A DMUSD bond would be an additional tax.

Obsolete stuff Occasionally, an item asking for board approval to dispose of obsolete equipment appears on all school board agendas. Del Mar is no exception.

Mildly curious to know how much money is taken in by the district when this stuff is auctioned off, I asked McClurg for details. It’s not much.

In fiscal year 2011-2012, the district earned $5,310. In 2012-2013, it took in $10,000, and in FY 2013-2014 the amount received was $9,147.

McClurg said this equipment is no longer of use to the district but has maintained some value, “such as vehicles, lawnmowers, telephones, hot carts, etc.”

“Any items that are in working order, that are still relevant in their use, are sold on the district’s Public Surplus Auction website,” she said, adding that technology equipment that is non-operational is properly disposed of via a certified e-waste company.

“Other items that are still in working order but that are no longer sellable due to their age, style or function, such as cassette players, overhead projectors, furniture, (are) donated to nonprofit organizations as allowable per Education Code 17545-17555,” she said.

Ally Deremer, Canyon Crest Academy’s two-sport star, embraces leadership role

BY GIDEON RUBIN Ally Deremer has been playing sports competitively since she was practically a toddler, already making her mark in basketball and softball before finishing middle school.

But it was during a trip to Hawaii with her Solana Beach Cats club team that she became a different kind of athlete.

Just months ahead of her freshman year at Canyon Crest Academy, she helped the Cats’ seventh-/eighth-grade team win a championship in its first appearance at the Maui Summer Classic Basketball Tournament.

At that tournament, Ally went from being just another talented player who puts points on the board — in an area where there are many others — to a leader with the ability to inspire.

“Being a leader isn’t always about telling people what to do,” she said. “A lot of the time it’s leading by example.

“There’s a lot of moments in basketball where making a silent or (seemingly) unnoticeable play — or even a noticeable play on defense or offense — helps get your team pumped up.”

It’s been impossible not to notice the difference her leadership has meant to CCA. Ally, who will be a junior in the fall, played a key role in leading an impressive Ravens turnaround. Just two years removed from a disastrous 1-25 season, she has helped restore order to a program that as recently as the 2008-09 won the San Diego Section Division III championship.

As a freshman, she averaged 8.1 points (second on the team) and led the team with 3.4 assists as the Ravens went 11-16, culminating with a Division II playoff appearance.

Last season, she led the team averaging 14 points and eight assists as the Ravens went 12-12, culminating with its first playoff win in five years.

“It was definitely a positive change for our program and it was really good to be part of the positive change in where the program is going,” she said.

Ally and the Ravens may have just been getting warmed up. They return as a young team that had no seniors last season.

“Even though we’re a young team, we’re still able to bring out the focus and intensity and just play a better level of basketball,” Ally said.

She has been instrumental in elevating the Ravens’ play, said coach Scott Tucker, noting that his star point guard has already attracted interest from several college coaches.

“She’s a very well-rounded player,” Tucker said. “She’s quick, she’s aggressive on defense, she’s got extremely good ball-handing skills and she shoots the (3-pointer) really well.”

But Tucker acknowledged that she’s more likely to land a scholarship in another sport.

Ally has also emerged as a standout defensive midfielder on the school’s lacrosse team. She was among the team’s leaders in goals (28) and assists (20) as the Ravens earlier this year went to the San Diego Section semifinals. The Ravens lost to eventual champion La Costa Canyon.

She says playing two sports helps keep her in shape throughout the year, noting that endurance, footwork and hand-eye coordination are among the key elements in both sports.

She’s managed to juggle the demands of two competitive sports while maintaining a GPA above 4.0 while taking

Ally Deremer’s leadership has meant a great deal to CCA. Photos by Kailey Coronado several advanced placement classes.

“Time management has definitely has been one of the most important things,” she said. “In some ways, having a sport every day helps me manage my time, because I know I have to get things done. I go to practice, I come home and I do my homework; everything’s on a set schedule, so I kind of get my work done better that way.”

Ally has gotten the job done despite some adversity, Tucker said, observing that she plays without complaint, whether she’s facing nearly constant doubleteams or going to practice with a nagging foot injury.

“That tells me a lot about her character,” Tucker said. “She’s got a rock-solid character.”

Ally credits her family with instilling that character in her. Her brother, Andrew Deremer, who graduated from CCA last month, is a former multi-sport athlete (basketball, soccer, track and cross country).

years while serving as the associate director for green energy/green jobs at Environmental Health Coalition.

“Our mission is simple: Stop climate change,” said campaign organizer Brian Elliott at the board’s May meeting.

The two big pieces of the Climate Action Plan relate to transportation and energy. As Elliott noted, 87 percent of people in San Diego still drive to work when they live within a half-mile of public transit. Only 1 percent of people in San Diego walk to work.

“The plan is asking to find solutions,” Elliott said.

Elliott said they want to hear the city planning board’s voices about what works for their communities, changing the model around so that 50 percent of people are driving to work, 25 percent are taking advantage of public transit and 25 percent are walking or riding bikes to work.

“That’s the model we need to go to, and we need community input on how to get there,” Elliott said.

He said there has been success in other California cities. In San Luis Obispo, 18 percent of residents bike to work. It took a while to get there, but thoughtful actions helped, such as protected bike lanes so bike commuters felt safe and repaving streets.

Elliott said he knows that to find success will involve changing the city’s transportation structure. It can’t take 20 minutes for someone to travel two miles.

Board member Ken Farinsky said his issue with transportation is that it is too expensive and is not provided in places where people go — such as a line that would take students from Del Mar to Canyon Crest Academy.

“The right transit lines could be successful in reducing traffic in certain corridors,” Farinsky said.

The second piece of the plan is to reach 100 percent clean energy by 2035. Elliott said the campaign doesn’t want that 100 percent target to be lowered and they want Community Choice Aggregation to be the mechanism used to get there.

Right now the city has only one electricity provider, Elliott said. Community Choice Aggregation allows cities and counties to purchase power on behalf of their residents and businesses and provide another option at a competitive price.

With SDG&E, homeowners max out at 32 percent clean energy content.

“People want to go beyond that, and the city needs to go beyond that,” Elliott said.

Elliott said the idea is spreading throughout California, such as in Marin County. That county has been using Community Choice Aggregation for six years and its rates are lower and the renewable energy content is higher.

In Sonoma County’s Clean Power program, the average total cost for 33 percent renewable energy is lower than the average cost from PG&E. The average cost for 100 percent renewable energy is $113 compared to $100 from PG&E. Farinsky said he doesn’t totally buy into the Community Choice Aggregation concept.

“The problem right now is that SDG&E doesn’t have the incentive to deal with solar rooftop and local generation,” Farinsky said. “You need to find a way to incentivize SDG&E to make money in rooftop solar and clean energy.”

Chair Frisco White also had issues with the “legally binding” wording in the plan, worrying that the board was supporting a policy that would open residents up to fines if they didn’t convert to solar or meet other energy-saving goals.

Kath Rogers, operations director for Climate Action Campaign, said the reason the Climate Action Plan is “legally binding” is because of the fact that San Diego County was sued because its climate action plan wouldn’t meet the state targets.

“The city would be legally bound to meet the state mandates and targets,” Rogers said.

Rogers said concerns expressed by White, Farinsky and other board members were just the kind of input the campaign wants to hear. She said community members’ input is valuable in shaping the document and making sure the city is able to meet its lofty goals.

TOURISM

the idea of renewing the district, but differed on the length of the renewal.

Councilman Terry Sinnott said he was in favor of renewing the district, but was leaning toward five years. He suggested the district budget more money toward marketing analysis.

“It all seems like it’s working, but it’s a little fuzzy,” he said.

Councilman Dwight Worden suggested renewing the district for two years instead of 10 years and also setting specific goals.

“It looks good this year, but you’ve got a four-year track record that doesn’t look so good,” Worden said. “And to renew for 10 years feels uncomfortable to me, particularly given that once you renew, the ability of the city to control is pretty limited.”

Agreeing with Worden, Mayor Al Corti preferred a much shorter renewal period and wanted to see better metrics.

If approved, the proposed plan would also establish the DMVA as the district’s owners association. The assessed hotels would be part of a committee within the DMVA. Five people would serve on the committee, including three hoteliers and potentially two DMVA board members.

“The current board feels that partnering with the DMVA definitely allows for more productivity, and honestly, more partnership in all things downtown,” Beucler said. “We feel that this initiative, in moving forward with this governance, will allow us to even drive better results.”

Earnest agreed.

“We can leverage this better through DMVA because we can factor some of the things we’re already doing that really are connected with what the hotels are doing,” he said. “We can make the programs better, we can make the programs more robust with this kind of money, and we can do more programming besides what we’re able to do today. So everybody wins with that kind of leverage.”

The council will hear public testimony regarding the potential renewal of the district on July 20, during the next council meeting. The council is expected to make its decision during the Sept. 8 meeting.

percent.

Michael Hogan, president of the Santa Fe board, said unofficial figures for June show the district is on track to meet its target of cutting 36 percent from the same month in 2013, the baseline year set by the state. The state water board set reduction targets ranging from 8 to 36 percent for water agencies statewide, designed to reach the governor’s overall reduction goal.

Santa Fe district is in the highest tier because of its high per-capita water use. The state has said it will fine agencies that fail to meet their targets by up to $10,000 per day.

The reduction in water use by Santa Fe district customers is a welcome development for district officials. As recently as May, they were concerned that, despite mandatory water use restrictions in place since last fall, usage had actually increased in six of the previous eight months.

Rainfall in May probably contributed to that month’s 42 percent reduction, said Hogan, “but the number is so big … a large portion of that is attributable to people taking prudent actions and implementing restrictions put in place by the district.”

June was a drier month, Hogan said, but the district is still seeing significant drops in water use.

“It takes time to turn the ship. What we’re starting to see is, people are responding,” Hogan said.

COMMITTEE

continued from page 1

board member Anne Farrell and former planning commission member John Giebink. They also selected Nancy Doyle, a Del Mar property owner who has, within the past 18 months, processed a design review application, including a Citizens Participation Program, and Dean Meredith, a professional architect or land use planner, who has, within the past 18 months, represented an applicant through the design review/CPP process. The council also selected five citizens at large: Harold Feder, John Graybill, Richard Jamison, Kelly Kaplan and Art Olson.

Most of the applicants attended the June 15 meeting expecting to be interviewed for the committee, but the council only asked to briefly hear the backgrounds of the three applicants who were professional architects or land use planners.

“With the kind of turnout and interest people showed in participating on this committee, it is clear council should have created a completely separate agenda to focus on making the right choices of the people to serve on this committee,” resident Terri Pavelko said during the oral communications portion of the July 6 meeting. She also applied to the committee but wasn’t appointed.

“We had 16 new names and faces that stepped up and stepped forward to get involved with this extremely important community issue — all with extremely diversified backgrounds and qualifications,” she continued.

“But you don’t know that because you never spoke with them. You did not interview them. You don’t even know who they are. Instead, you selected the same people we all know with the same single-minded voice.”

Sharing these concerns, 25 community members submitted speaker slips on the topic, with 14 members of the public choosing to talk.

AWARDS

“You were elected to represent the whole community,” said resident Linda Rock. “By limiting that selection process to people you knew, I think you did the community a disservice.”

Many of the speakers were upset about the selection process, specifically about the council not interviewing the applicants.

Some also said that the council did not appoint people with varying views.

After hearing from concerned community members, council members said the public would be able to stay engaged in the process — even if they weren’t selected for the committee.

“I hope that I can ask you to trust the liaisons to keep this committee on track and keep the process open and inclusive and reach a good conclusion,” said Councilman Don Mosier, who is a liaison to the committee, as is Councilman Dwight Worden.

“I’m glad you came down here,” Worden said. “Yell at us when we need it. Keep our feet to the fire. Personally, I feel a little bit bad listening to you now that we didn’t take the time and interview people.”

Agreeing with some of the suggestions from the speakers, council members said the committee could potentially change its format or time to be more inviting to the public.

“We know we have neighborhood problems. We know we have issues that we’d like to make better,” said Councilman Terry Sinnott. “Hopefully, it’s a constructive process.”

Mosier reminded community members that committee recommendations would come before the council.

“Any recommendations will come back to council for action,” he said. “If there’s any change it will take quite some time, so there will be ample time for public comment, not only at the committee meetings, but at any council meeting before any action is taken.”

Locally, a team of 17 volunteer judges saw 64 shows among 27 different groups for the North County awards, said Rob Hooper, NYT executive director.

“The number of youth theatre performance opportunities in San Diego County has to be among the highest in the country, and that helps foster an experienced and immensely talented group of performers who can choose from a wide variety of venues and shows — musicals from ‘Annie’ to ‘Zombie Prom,’ as well as comedies and dramas,” Hooper commented.

“It’s an honor to be able to enjoy their work during the year and recognize some of their work with the summer ceremonies; their excitement and support for one another when brought together in one place is inspiring.”

Award show tickets may be purchased at www.nationalyouththeatre.com. Award winners and nominees receive one free ticket; additional tickets cost $15 each. The public is invited to attend. Follow links from http://nationalyouththeatre.com/news/news_nya_ awards2015.asp for each show.

Parks Fit San Diego challenge encourages people to get moving this summer The San Diego Parks and Recreation Department is kicking off its summer Parks Fit challenge on July 14. Through Aug. 14, residents of all ages are encouraged to try and rack up 30 miles walking or running in 30 days or swim 20 miles in 30 days.

Participants must enroll at any San Diego Park and Recreation Center, which locally includes Carmel Valley and Ocean Air Recreation Centers. Each participant will receive a Parks Fit San Diego bracelet and participants who complete the challenge will receive a commemorative “I Got Fit in my Park in 30 Days” t-shirt.

Participants can walk or swim independently on their own time and at their own pace, or in a group led by Park and Recreation staff. Walk and swim schedules are available at all City Recreation Centers and Pools. The deadline to enroll is August 1.

the beach last week. The San Carlos resident had a major stroke last August that affected his right arm and leg and his speech skills. He now uses a cane to hobble around. As Montoya’s wife, Mary, looked on, Ronco quietly worked on the man’s joints with an ArthroStim, a drilllike device that delivers quick, targeted pressure taps to the body’s nerve endings. Ronco said the instrument retrains the brain to neutralize spasms, relax muscles, calm nerves and more.

After a 15-minute treatment, Montoya could lift his arm higher, and grasp items better with his hand, and said he felt much more relaxed.

Marcolongo said Ronco serves 10 to 12 CAF clients every week, and because of Ronco’s friendly, outgoing personality and the fact that he’s an athlete himself, the patients love him.

“He’s great,” Marcolongo said. “People really like him and everyone who comes sees relief in some way.”

DEREMER

continued from page 21

“He’s a good role model to have,” she said. “He’s really inspired me.”

Deremer has inspired teammates, too, Tucker said.

“She’s very quiet, but she can communicate whenever she feels it’s necessary,” he said.

One moment when she felt it was necessary occurred earlier this year, when a rough patch prompted her to call a players-only closed-door meeting.

“She just reaffirmed that it’s not about individuals, it’s about the team,” said Tucker, who didn’t learn the specifics of the meeting until later in the season.

For her part, Ally has embraced the leadership role that she said is a natural fit for the position she plays.

“That’s kind of like the commander on the court,” she said. “Being a point guard on the floor is kind of like being a coach on the floor.

“You have to be vocal. That’s how you help everyone.”

LA artist shows ‘alchemical paintings’ at La Jolla Gallery from July 11-Aug. 22 The R.B.Stevenson Gallery in La Jolla announces the opening of “Silver Deposit,” the third solo exhibition of new work by Los Angeles artist Jimi Gleason.

Opening reception for the artist will be from 5-8 p.m. July 11 at the gallery, 7661 Girard Ave., Suite 201.

The exhibit runs through Aug. 22.

Gleason combines his unique style of alchemical paintings with rigid geometric forms that merge HardEdge aesthetics with Light and Space ideals.

Much like the California Light and Space Movement, Gleason is interested in exploring the metaphysical possibilities of art. His silver deposit surfaces act as enigmatic mirrors that are activated by viewers and the environment they are situated in.

To achieve his luminous surfaces, Gleason uses indus- “Untitled” (2015) by Jimi Gleason, silver deposit and trial materials — silver ni- acrylic on canvas. Courtesy photo trate, to be exact — in a process he’s been investigating and applying for more than a decade. Gleason treats acryliccoated canvases with a chemical mixture, which he then sprays with silver nitrate solution, transforming the surfaces into sterling sheets of light.

Gleason was born and raised in Southern California. He graduated with a BA in Fine Art from UC Berkeley in 1985, later moving to New York City. Upon his return to California, he worked as a studio assistant for renowned abstract painter Ed Moses.

Gleason’s work can be found in the permanent collection of the Frederick R. Weisman Art Foundation, the Eli Broad Collection, private and permanent collections in Las Vegas, collections in the United States, Europe and Asia. Visit www.rbstevensongallery.com.

American Pharoah to be among highlights of this year’s Del Mar race season

Fashion, food, fun: Plenty of festivities to mark Opening Day at the Races

BY KELLEY CARLSON One of San Diego County’s hottest social events is just around the corner, and Del Mar wants to make it a winning one for everyone.

While the track can’t guarantee that everyone will be financially ahead at the end of the day, it’s doing its best to ensure that everyone has a chance to look like a million bucks on Opening Day, July 16.

To help racegoers prepare for the big event, Del Mar is presenting the first Fashion Trifecta at the Track, hosted by Studio Savvy and Ranch & Coast Magazine. It’s scheduled from noon to 4 p.m. July 12 in Del Mar’s Turf Club Courtyard. “It’s one-stop shopping for Opening Day fashion needs,� explained Chris Bahr, director of events and promotions.

Fifteen to 20 vendors will be selling hats, shoes, jewelry and clothes, and there will be a strolling fashion show, along with live music, and food and beverages. Fifteen percent of sales will go to the Helen Woodward Animal Center of Rancho Santa Fe, and admission and parking to the event are free.

The Fashion Trifecta could be the place to find the perfect headgear for the 21st annual Opening Day Hats Contest on July 16.

Contestants will compete for prizes in five categories: Most Glamorous, Best Racing Theme, Funniest/Most Outrageous, Best Fascinator and Flowers/All Other. In each category, first place will win $300 and a $100 Studio Savvy gift certificate; second place will net $200; and third place will receive $100. This year’s Bing Crosby Grand Prize is a Harrah’s Resort Southern Califor-

nia Luxury Resort Escape, featuring a twonight stay in a luxurious hotel suite, $200 meal credit and $200 spa credit. The total value of the package is $1,300.

Sign-ups for the hats contest will be from 11:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the Plaza de Mexico, just inside the Stretch Run admission gates. There is no entry fee, and all entrants will receive two free admission passes to return to the races.

No matter how patrons are dressed, everyone is welcome to The Party, at the west end of the track. The $30 cost covers Stretch Run admission and access to The Party area, which will feature the Red Bull Tour Bus, multiple DJs, gourmet food trucks, a beer garden, private wagering, jumbo video boards, activities and prize giveaways. The experience allows for some breathing room from the crowd, which is expected to exceed 40,000 people, Bahr said.

Opening Day will mark the return of other traditional events. There will be Sing With Bing, in which a person or group croons the track’s theme song, “Where the Turf Meets the Surf,� by Bing Crosby; and the Hippity Hop Derby, in which Camp Del Mar participants bounce down the stretch on inflatable balls. Those who want a chance to serenade the crowd can email singwithbing@dmtc.com; Camp Del Mar provides activities for 5- to 12-year-olds all day, for $24 per child.

And once again, the feature race on the Opening Day card will be the $100,000 Ocean-side Stakes for 3-year-olds on the grass. It’s a key prep for the $250,000 Grade II Del Mar Derby on Sept. 6, the track’s sophomore championship.

Del Mar filmmaker co-directing all-female team on 48-Hour Film Project

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Local filmmakers will compete to see who can make the best short film in only 48 hours in the 48-Hour Film Project in San Diego.

The project, which runs from July 24-26, is the first of many slated for Team XX — an all-female filmmaking team.

“We decided it would be cool to have an all-female cast and crew team — the first ever here in San Diego,” said Del Mar filmmaker Sue Vicory, co-director of Team XX. “So that’s when we created Team XX.” Vicory and Silvia Luz, a filmmaker from Pacific Beach, formed Team XX after they met in March at the San Diego Film Awards, where they were each nominated for other film projects.

After meeting, they later met for tea and to talk about art.

“We didn’t know where that tea would lead us until one day I read about the San Diego 48-hour film project,” Luz explained. “I just decided to call her and see if she was willing to form this female team. The more we talked about it, the more we realized we wanted to do it not just for us, but for a better future. It wasn’t just about the 48-hour project anymore.

We wanted to start a movement.”

From actresses to writers, they have since formed a roughly 25-member team. Team XX even has a female chef who will serve food during the 48-hour project.

“We decided we would invite all women, all talents to the table,” Vicory said.

Most of the women are from San Diego County and a few are from out of state. Vicory and Luz recruited people using social media and word of mouth.

“People just wanted to be on our team because they liked the novelty of an all-female team,” Vicory said. “We’re collaborative by nature. Our intent is to put inspirational content in the world.”

Like the other teams competing in the 48-Hour Film Project, Team XX will select the genre for its movie in a random drawing 15 minutes before the start of the competition.

There are 14 genres in this year’s competition. In addition, teams are given a character, a prop and a line of dialogue that must appear in their film.

To help fund their first project, Team XX launched an Indiegogo campaign, with a goal to raise $15,000. As of July 7, they have raised $7,650.

The campaign ends mid-July. For information or to contribute, visit indiegogo.com/

“This will be the first of many Team XX projects,” Vicory said. “We hope to really set a template for other cities. I think it will be really interesting to have all this female energy in one place and see what we churn out.”

Team XX’s film will be screened at 6:30 p.m. Aug. 10 at Reading Cinemas Gaslamp 15, at 701 5th Ave. in San Diego. Tickets cost $15.

July 12 screening to whet appetites for next year’s Jewish Film Festival

BY KRISTINA HOUCK On the heels of the San Diego Jewish Film Festival’s 25th Silver Anniversary, festival organizers are aiming to build on last year’s success.

The 26th annual festival is set for Feb. 4-14. Films will be screened at five theaters across San Diego County.

“We had a very successful event that was well received by the community,” said Craig Prater, director of the San Diego Jewish Film Festival.

The executive film committee is now accepting and reviewing submissions.

The deadline for the 2016 film festival is Sept. 15. The committee will make its selections by early October. By that time, each of the committee members will have seen close to 300 films.

“There are 10 on the committee, and we all watch all of the films that are submitted to us,” said event co-chair Christina Fink. “All of us come from a very different point of view. It’s this mélange of ideas and backgrounds that really fine-tunes the se“Marilyn Monroe Declassified” will have its lections that we bring forth.”

Established in 1990, the San Diego Jew- world premiere July 12. Courtesy photo ish Film Festival is managed by the San Diego Center for Jewish Culture at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center in La Jolla.

The first festival featured four films at the Sherwood Auditorium at the La Jolla branch of the Museum of Contemporary Art. Last year’s festival featured 48 full-length and 50 short films screened in five different theaters across the county, with 18,000 tickets sold last year.

“We allow our films to drive us,” said Prater, who has been with the organization for three years. “Whatever films are being submitted, that’s what we zero in on. It’s the quality of the films that we secure that gets the attention of everyone.”

The February festival is the largest event, but on average, the San Diego Jewish Film Festival holds four to five more screenings throughout the year.

In June, the San Diego Jewish Film Festival presented Becca Roth’s “One: A Story of Love and Equality,” a documentary about the filmmaker and her girlfriend’s time in North Carolina in the two months leading up to the Amendment One vote to ban same-sex marriages. Roughly 200 people attended the screening at the Carlsbad Library.

“Her film was quite timely, and it was the West Coast premiere,” Prater said.

On July 12, the festival will present the world premiere of “Marilyn Monroe Declassified,” a documentary directed by Paul Davids.

“We’ve had contact with the director of this film for a number of years,” Prater said.

“We always follow his work. He was ready to do the world premiere in Los Angeles, which would be the normal thing to do, but we did a little arm-twisting and got it here in San Diego for the Jewish Film Festival.”

The screening begins at 6 p.m. at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center’s David & Dorothea Garfield Theatre, at 4126 Executive Drive in La Jolla. For tickets, contact the film festival box office at 858-362-1348.

A discussion with Davids, as well as other members of the film team, will follow the screening.

“A lot of our audience — certainly myself included — is going to remember the Marilyn Monroe period of time, her death and the things that we remember about it,” said Prater, adding that the film highlights declassified FBI and CIA documents about her life and death.

“It’s now an awakening of new information that causes us to maybe re-evaluate any opinions that we might have formed at the time.”

Just weeks after the screening, the film festival season will be officially kicked off Aug. 23 at the Garfield Theatre. The film slated for the event has yet to be announced. About 500 people are expected to attend.

“That’s one of our nicer events of the year, because not only do we have the film at night, but it’s a program earmarked exclusively for our underwriters and pillars, where we have dinner around the pool,” Prater said.

“There’s not a lot of film festivals that can put a 25-, 26-year credit behind their name,” he added. “I think their success has to be attributed to the selection of quality films down through the years.”

Local Juice Co. ready to blend in with new elixir bar in Flower Hill

BY KAREN BILLING With his new Local Juice Co. elixir bar, owner Justin Gittelman wants to spread the joy of juicing to North County San Diego. Once available only at La Jolla and Rancho Santa Fe farmers markets and private orders since May of last year, Local is now serving up its ultrapremium cold-pressed juices, tonics and elixirs in a corner of Café Cantata in Flower Hill Promenade.

“We know we have the best juice on the planet because we focus on quality and consistency,” Gittelman said. “We don’t take short cuts.”

In starting Local Juice, Gittelman combined his passion for juicing with his entrepreneurial spirit. He was raised a vegetarian by his mother, building a great foundation for eating natural healthy foods. He grew frustrated spending $20 to $30 a day on juices but not finding the level of quality he desired.

The reception for his concoctions has been “phenomenal,” he said, as he uses unique ingredients in innovative ways and finds just the right flavor profiles.

“Our mission is to evolve the traditional juice and smoothie industry into tonics and elixirs,” Gittelman said.

Elixirs are a combination of healthy ingredients that work to enhance energy and longevity, he said, and tonics are like liquid supplements, an infusion of ingredients meant to cause a reaction in the body.

Gittelman’s favorite tonic on the menu is Change Agent, which combines turmeric, ginger, lemon, pineapple and sea buckthorn, a super-fruit with a dense citrus flavor that is rich in essential fats.

He calls the powerful taste “nature’s tequila” and the four-alarm formula promises multiple health benefits.

While high-pressure processing eliminates essential enzymes and vital nutrients in juice, the cold-pressed method used by Local is the optimal level of juicing, leaving a higher level of nutrients and enzymes and a more refined taste, Gittelman said.

Renew, Local’s first green drink, has spinach, kale, celery, cucumber, aloe vera, turmeric and pineapple.

“We wanted to get good greens in and a pleasing aftertaste that is more enjoyable for the average person,” Gittelman said.

Their most popular drink is Sustain, which combines watermelon, aloe, cucumber, mint and drops of goji and schizandra herb. Schizandra increases stamina, cleanses the liver and provides a boost to the immune system, as well as many other healthful benefits.

“The yogis come out of class like they’re walking out of the Sahara and Sustain is the perfect recovery juice,” Gittelman said, referring to neighboring CorePower yoga studio.

Two unique items on the menu are the Turmeric Latte elixir and the Green Soda. The Turmeric Latte has no espresso and no caffeine, but a rich antioxidant and cold-pressed organic turmeric and herbs. The Green Soda is an effervescent green elixir served cold over ice.

“Having established the line of cold-pressed juices and tonics, the new elixir bar has allowed us to become even more creative, with an expanded menu offering more drink and snack items,” Gittelman said.

The bar serves up faux ice cream and acai bowls like the Positive Vibes bowl, made of frozen acai, kale, spirulina, raw honey, almond milk and seasonal fruit and topped with ba-

Justin Gittelman opened Local Juice Co. on June 13 in Café Cantata in Flower Hill Promenade. Photo by Karen Billing nana, coconut flakes and cacao-kale granola.

Local Juice Co. is also the first to bottle cold “bulletproof” coffee. Local’s Cold Proof pairs Bird Rock Roasters coffee with organic ghee, MCT (medium-chain triglycerides) oil, organic almond milk and toffee-flavored stevia.

While Local doesn’t have a website, they do have a presence on Instagram and Facebook and have become known for their glass bottles.

“No plastic is used. There’s a sea of plastic already floating in the Pacific, and Local Juice will not contribute to plastic waste,” Gittelman said, noting the bar will buy back bottles from customers to re-use.

Gittelman, a San Diego native who lives in La Jolla, spent the past 15 years working in organizational development and management consulting.

As an executive coach, he worked with CEOs on how to put their visions to work and consulted on ways to increase productivity of staff and increase revenue. He brings those elements of his former business life in to Local Juice’s core goals and mission.

“We want to empower, inspire and make a positive impact on the community,” Gittelman said.

It is his hope that he has concocted the perfect blend to find success, create happy and healthy customers and to “lift the vibe” of his corner of Flower Hill.

pher Holly Casner will be on site doing dog portraits, and at 3 p.m. there will be a group photo with all of the Thrive dogs adopted out over the past 15 months.

Animal shelters are overwhelmed this time of year because of relinquishments and a flood of strays spooked by the July 4 excitement, so anyone who is looking to adopt a dog is encouraged to come.

“If we don’t have what they want, we can go find a sweet soul looking for someone to love,” said Thrive Founder CeCe Bluom. “Every home is better with a dog in it.”

She is dressed in a bathing suit, Edith Eva Eger at 16. By the next year, she smiling while performing a gymnastic split. Eger says the portrait was taken by would be in a concentration camp. her first teenage crush: a Jewish boy named Imre. He, like so many others, would not survive the Holocaust.

Eger’s appearance will be at a private RSF estate. For information and to reserve, call Chabad Jewish Center of Rancho Santa Fe at 858-756-7571 or info@jewishRSF.com.

Fairmont Grand Del Mar celebrates launch as newest member of global luxury chain

BY DIANE Y. WELCH As the sun was setting over the Los Peñasquitos Canyon Preserve on a recent evening, the scene from the newly named Fairmont Grand Del Mar looked less like San Diego and more like a secluded Andalusian enclave.

Enjoying the serene view from the terrace just beyond the Manchester Salon — along with a fine spread of lobster, jumbo shrimp, tenderloin and rack of lamb, paired with blush champagne — was an exclusive guest list that included representatives from local media and several top executives from Fairmont Raffles Hotels International, now the parent company of Fairmont Grand Del Mar in Carmel Valley.

The occasion worthy of the lavish affair was the official launch party for the resort, the newest member of a global luxury hotel collection that comprises more than 65 hotels globally.

Its flagship landmarks include Fairmont San Francisco, The Plaza in New York and The Savoy in London, along with AAA Five Diamond properties Fairmont Mayakoba in Mexico’s Riviera Maya and notable California hotels, including Seafood bar at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar patio.

Solana Beach Fourth of July Singalong

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Solana Beach residents celebrated the Fourth of July early with an annual singsong tradition. More than 60 people attended the 28th annual Patriotic Songs Singalong July 1 at the Fletcher Cove Community Center.

“As long as I’m alive, it’s the longest ongoing event in Solana Beach,” said Dr. Ed Siegel, a local psychiatrist and musician.

Siegel established the weekly Solana Beach Community Singalong not long after the city became incorporated in 1986.

“It seems like yesterday,” he said.

Eric and Bonnie Thomason Mia Detrow, Dr. Ed Siegel, Lexi Worms Art and Claire Covner The first singalong drew about 40 people, Siegel recalled. Since then, crowds have ranged from seven to 70 people of all ages, with the most popular singalongs around the Fourth of July and the holiday season. Singalongs that celebrate the group’s new season each year are also always well attended.

The Solana Beach Community Singalong will kick off its 29th season with a Thursday night get-together Aug. 6 at the Fletcher Cove Community Center.

“Everyone is welcome,” Siegel said.

After previewing the Fourth of July in Solana Beach, Siegel returned to his childhood home of Fort Collins, Colorado, to celebrate the occasion by accomplishing a childhood dream.

On the Fourth of July, after just two rehearsals, he conducted the Fort Collins Symphony Orchestra in front of a roughly 9,000-person audience.

Charlotte Gumbrell, Lynn and Al Salsberg “It’s been a childhood dream,” said Siegel prior to his trip. “I am so happy about it. It is a dream come true.”

Jill Lamour, Marti and Wolf Worms with Lexi Siegel conducted “Prelude” from the opera “Carmen”

by Georges Bizet. He said the moment would have never happened if it weren’t for his parents.

“It’s because of my folks,” Siegel said. “As a child, they used to take me to concerts and symphonies. If it hadn’t been for them, I might not be playing the piano.”

Let summer spices help keep you cool as a cucumber

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN “Much virtue in herbs, little in men.” — Benjamin Franklin

The Kitchen Shrink

You can beat the summer heat and stay calm, cool and collected with a handful of handpicked herbs and spices following the ancient healing food principles of India. Here’s an A-(yurvedic) list of the top spices to keep you refreshed and exhilarated throughout the sticky summer months.

Mint Condition Peppermint, a hybrid of winter mint and spearmint, is one of the most revered herbs since classical times for its culinary and medicinal attributes. The Romans believed that eating mint would bolster intelligence, while the mere scent of these luscious leaves would stem a temper tantrum. The menthol in peppermint cools the palate and jazzes up everything from tabboulis, pilafs, lamb dishes, fruit salads and gelatos to thirst-quenching lemonades, mojitos or iced green teas. Or chew some fresh sprigs for a quick pick-me-up.

As an added boon, this high-fiber, antioxidant powerhouse with a motherlode of vitamins A, C and B2, along with bone-boosting calcium, copper and magnesium, has been linked to controlling bad cholesterol (along with bad breath), heart rate and blood pressure, easing irritable colons and sunburns, while soothing mind, body and spirit with its aromatic essential oils.

Pod Cast Cardamom is one of the world’s priciest spices, behind only saffron and vanilla bean. Known globally as the “Queen of Spices,” cardamom was held in high esteem by Ayurvedic healers as an aphrodisiac, teeth whitener, sensuous perfume and relief from gluttony. Indigenous to south India and a member of the ginger family, there are three varieties — green, black and Madagascar. Cardamom maintains its expressive, aromatic flavor and scent when bought in pods, which are then peeled and discarded in favor of the tiny seeds inside. Unleash the intense flavor of the seeds by grinding them fresh with mortar and pestle.

A staple spice in Indian cuisine, especially curries and with lentils, cardamom perks up a cup of joe, and gives an exotic accent to smoothies, pie crusts, strudels and fresh berries, as well as rice dishes, chicken and duck. A pinch is plenty for this potent spice, which is also recognized as a great digestive aid, detoxifier, remedy for coughs and colds, swollen joints and even hiccups.

Go for the Gold Saffron’s etymology is from the Arabic word “zafaran,” which translates as “yellow.” Whether from Iran or the plains of Spain, these handpicked crimson strands — stigmas from the flower of the crocus plant (80,000 blossoms produce a mere 16 ounces) — are the caviar of spices, carrying an exorbitant price tag ranging from $600 to $2,000 a pound. And worth every penny. They tint every dish a glorious golden hue from paella, risotto and bouillabaisse to biscotti and crème brûlée, in addition to infusing them with a sensual perfume, and exotic musky flavors of honey and the sea.

A Herculean healing spice, saffron has an astronomical amount of manganese to regulate blood sugar levels, boost calcium absorption, and regenerate tissues. It also has a load of iron, immune-boosting vitamin C, stress-busting vitamin Bs, and fluid-balancing potassium. This precious spice has been used as a cure-all for everything from heartburn and insomnia to menstrual cramps and low libido.

Cook’s tip: Toast saffron strands over a low flame to release rich floral aromas.

Dried strands stored in a cool dark place will keep their flavor for two years.

garlic as a pickling spice for cucumbers, green tomatoes, peppers and seasonal vegetables. High in fiber, vitamins A and C, iron, niacin, copper, folic acid and essential oils, dill has been found to lower cholesterol levels, halt colds, the flu and inflammation, boost eye and skin health, and lower blood sugar levels in diabetics.

MINTY CUCUMBER GOAT CHEESE SALAD 1 pound unpeeled, thinskinned cucumbers (Persian, Japanese or English), cubed 12 mint leaves, sliced thinly 1 1/2 teaspoons minced shallots 1/4 pound goat feta, crumbled For the dressing 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons Meyer lemon juice 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar 1 teaspoon honey Sea salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste Method: In a large bowl, combine cucumber, mint and shallots. In a small bowl, add dressing ingredients, whisk to emulsify, and add salt and pepper to taste.

Toss with cucumber and top with feta.

In a Pickle Whether fresh or dried, dill is a savory perennial herb that’ll cool your heels while dialing up the flavors of grilled fish, chicken and vegetables, potato and other picnic salads, dips and frittatas. Botanically, this delicate, feathery herb, a cousin to parsley, cumin, fennel and caraway, adds a grassy, anise-like zing to hot and cold dishes, and Minty Cucumber Goat Cheese Salad uses blends beautifully with allspice, ginger and mint to pep up the flavor.

CITY OF DEL MAR NOTICE OF PUBLIC MEETING AND PUBLIC HEARING CONCERNING THE RENEWAL OF THE DEL MAR TOURISM BUSINESS IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT AND LEVY OF AN ASSESSMENT ON CERTAIN LODGING BUSINESSES WITHIN THE DISTRICT NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that at 6:00 PM on July 20, 2015, at the City of Del Mar Council Chambers, City Hall - Communications Center, 240 Tenth Street, Del Mar, CA 92014, a public meeting shall be held pursuant to Government Code section 54954.6 to allow public testimony regarding the renewal of the DMTBID and the levy of assessments therein as set forth in the enclosed Resolution of Intention and pursuant to Government Code section 54954.6.

NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that on July 6, 2015, the City Council (the “Council”) of the City of Del Mar (the “City”) adopted a Resolution of Intention to renew the Del Mar Tourism Business Improvement District (the “DMTBID”) and to levy an assessment on certain lodging businesses within the DMTBID as set forth in the attached Resolution of Intention.

NOTICE IS HEREBY FURTHER GIVEN that at 6:00 PM on September 8, 2015, at the City of Del Mar Council Chambers, City Hall - Communications Center, 240 Tenth Street, Del Mar, CA 92014, has been set as the time and place for a public hearing at which time the Council proposes to renew the DMTBID and to levy the proposed assessment as set forth in the Resolution of Intention.

Boundaries: The renewed DMTBID includes all lodging businesses located within the boundaries of the City of Del Mar. Assessment: The annual assessment rate is one percent (1%) of gross short-term (stays less than 31 days)room rental revenue. Based on the benefit received, assessments will not be collected on stays of more than thirty (30) consecutive days, nor on stays by any deferral or State of California officer or employee when on official business or any officer or employee of a foreign government who is exempt by reason of express provision of federal law or international treaty.

Budget: The total DMTBID annual budget for the initial year of its ten (10) year operation is anticipated to be approximately $205,000. This

budget is expected to fluctuate as room sales do, but is not expected to significantly change over the DMTBID’s term.

Purpose: The DMTBID is designed to provide specific benefits directly to payors by increasing room night sales. Tourism Promotion and Special Events, DMVA Downtown Program and Del Mar Commercial Zone Improvements will increase overnight tourism and market payors as tourist, meeting and event destinations, thereby increasing room night sales.

Duration: The renewed DMTBID will have a ten (10) year life, beginning October 1, 2015 through September 30, 2025.

Once per year beginning on the anniversary of district renewal there is a 30-day period in which owners paying more than fifty percent (50%) of the assessment may protest and initiate a City Council hearing on district termination.

Collection: The City will be responsible for collecting the assessment on a monthly basis (including any delinquencies, penalties and interest) from each lodging business located in the boundaries of the DMTBID. The City shall take all reasonable efforts to collect the assessments from each lodging business.

Protest: Any owner of a lodging business within the proposed DMTBID that will be subject to the assessment may protest the renewal of the DMTBID. If written protests are received from the owners of lodging businesses in the proposed DMTBID who represent 50 percent (50%) or more of the estimated annual assessments to be levied, the DMTBID shall not be renewed and the assessment shall not be imposed.

You may mail a written protest to: Office of the City Clerk City of Del Mar 1050 Camino del Mar Del Mar, CA 92014 You may also appear at the public meeting or hearing and submit a written protest at that time.

Information: Should you desire additional information about the renewed DMTBID or assessment contact: Gina Trechter Civitas 1102 Corporate Way, Suite 140 Sacramento, CA 95831 (951) 285-1461 Dated: July 2, 2015 Andrew Potter, City Clerk PHNT.7.20.15.

RACING

continued from page B1

Big fun for little ones (and grown-ups, too) Every weekend, parents can bring their kids to the infield for free activities, such as pony rides, inflatables, a magic show, GameZone, jockey stilt walkers and a caricature artist. On July 19, there will be a special “super-sized” Family Fun Day that will include a rock climbing wall, hat decorating, and baseball clinics with the Lake Elsinore Storm. In addition, the Del Mar jockey colony will be available for photos and autographs, from noon to 1 p.m.

And on July 18, the San Diego Aviators tennis team will put on a pro exhibition in the infield. Kids can receive free lessons and win prizes.

Lots of loot There are several giveaways on Del Mar’s schedule this season. The first is the Webkinz plush horse for children 12 and younger, on July 19. The next is the Del Mar T-shirt on Aug. 8 — a regular style and a ladies-cut version. Finally, two types of beach bags will be distributed on Aug. 29.

Cutting the costs To save on admission, patrons are encouraged to sign up for the free Diamond Club program, in which they receive half off admission every race day (and free admission on Wednesdays). This year, the program is moving to a mobile platform: When guests sign up, rather than receiving a plastic card, the information can be stored on their cellphones.

Seniors 62 and older can also take advantage of free admission on Thursdays with Diamond Club membership, and those who are not members can enter the track at no charge on July 30 and Sept. 3.

As in previous years, everyone can participate in the $11 Pony Express deal, which covers round-trip fare on the Coaster, Sprinter and Breeze; a shuttle from the Solana Beach North County Transit District station to the racetrack; and Stretch Run admission.

The end This year, Closing Day will coincide with Labor Day rather than the traditional Wednesday, since the track picked up extra racing dates on the calendar.

“We felt it was tough on everyone to race on Monday, take a day off, then finalize on Wednesday,” Bahr said. “It makes sense.”

Along with the traditional final stakes on the schedule, the Del Mar Futurity (won by American Pharoah last year), there will be a Party in the Paddock, featuring cover band Wayward Sons. Admission is free.

After its summer stand, Del Mar will return for a second consecutive fall racing season, with 20 days of racing between Oct. 29 and Nov. 29.

Willis Allen and GRID Alternatives launch ‘Operation: Solar for San Diego Troops’ Willis Allen Real Estate firm is partnering with GRID Alternatives San Diego to launch “Operation: Solar for San Diego Troops” to transition veterans to clean and renewable energy.

Willis Allen will donate time and monetary resources to help GRID Alternatives provide energy cost-savings and a source of clean local energy to the homes of veterans. Four of the projects will be in partnership with the Habitat for Humanity veterans program.

It will be all hands on deck, as veterans and the homeowners themselves pull together to install solar power. The four-month-long project kicks off July 9 and will provide solar panels for up to 10 veteran homes. A finale event will be held in connection with the Veteran’s Day holiday.

“We at Willis Allen feel very fortunate to be helping GRID Alternatives with Operation: Solar for San Diego Troops and are passionate about this project. As a veteran myself, I’m honored to be a part of something that gives back to those who’ve served,” said Andy Nelson, CEO of Willis Allen. “We’ve just designated 30 agents as ‘green’ and this is our way of walking the walk, not just talking the talk. We’re committed to making our community more environmentally-friendly and look forward to maintaining a relationship with GRID Alternatives for future builds.”

Tom McSorley, regional development officer at GRID Alternatives San Diego said, “Aside from the obvious money and climate benefits we’ll receive, the outcome our veterans will receive is truly immeasurable. Willis Allen is helping us provide these men and women that have served our country the ability to have a sense of pride in their homes and give them the opportunity to help make San Diego a greener place by taking part in the actual installation of the solar panels on their homes. It’s really our way — and our time — to serve those who served us.”

To nominate a veteran who can benefit from Operation: Solar for San Diego Troops send their name and brief story to: operationsolar@gridalternatives.org

TRI Pointe Group announces closing of the sale of the Pacific Highlands Ranch employment site TRI Pointe Homes, Inc. (NYSE: TPH) announced that, on June 30, its San Diego-based homebuilding division, Pardee Homes, completed the sale of a 15.72-acre employment center located in its Pacific Highlands Ranch master plan community in San Diego County to a subsidiary of Lincoln Property Company. “We are very pleased to have such a prestigious and experienced developer on board to build out the employment and R&D hub of our Pacific Highlands Ranch master plan community,” said TRI Pointe President Tom Mitchell.

“This employment center will be an excellent complement to the current and future neighborhoods, parks, and shopping centers located in the area.”

In July 2014, TRI Pointe completed the acquisition of Weyerhaeuser Real Estate Compa-

ny (“WRECO”) and its five homebuilders, including Pardee Homes. “The sale of the Pacific Highlands Ranch employment site is a great example of our commitment to unlocking the embedded value from the land that we acquired with the WRECO transaction,” said TRI Pointe CEO, Doug Bauer.

Pacific Highlands Ranch is ideally situated midway between I-5 and I-15 and adjacent to the SR-56 freeway, making this new employment center easily accessible to residents both within and outside the community.

SPONSORED COLUMNS DR. VAN CHENG San Diego Vein Institute 760.994.9263

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 PEOPLE who wait too long to heed the warning siGNs. 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.

Wall Street Journal names Catherine & Jason Barry #1 team in San Diego, #34 in nation The Catherine and Jason Barry real estate team are a dynamic mother/son duo who are the leaders in the luxury real estate market. The Wall Street Journal named them the #1 Team in San Diego and #34 in the nation out of all real estate companies for dollar volume production. What is so impressive is the fact that many of these teams have more than 30 agents who combine their sales numbers. Catherine and Jason’s Team is composed of seasoned professionals Ryan McGovern and Kendra Gibilisco.

The Barrys’ success is a reflection of their philosophy: putting the needs and desires of their clients first, having an unparalleled knowledge of not only the local real estate market but the community as a whole, and a work ethic that can’t be counted in hours. The fact that the company is family owned and operated is a great advantage for Catherine and Jason because it allows them flexibility and speed, which is critical when maneuvering to put deals together. Their motto is “you have to believe in what you are selling” and “treat clients like family.”

To dub Catherine and Jason as experts in their field would be an understatement. They continue to sell more high-end real estate than any other team in San Diego — having sold approximately over $2.5 billion in residential sales. Jason and Catherine form the yin and yang that makes their transactions so unique and successful. Catherine and Jason’s’ confidence in each other’s skills and styles creates the working chemistry that makes them so attractive to such a vast number of clients.

Most importantly, the Barrys love what they do and they love the communities where they work and live. Catherine put it best when she said, “Where else can you find a community like ours that has the best amenities (i.e. schools, beaches, golf courses, etc.) with perfect weather all year round?” Catherine and Jason cherish the fact that they live and sell one of the most desirable areas in the world — a place that will always be in high demand.

Catherine and Jason Barry can be reached at (858) 756-4024 or cj@barryestates.com
