owned Del Mar fairgrounds — were joined by San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer on Wednesday, Sept. 24, to announce the theme for next year’s San Diego County Fair, which will run from June 5 through July 5. The theme will be “A Fair to Remember,” and will highlight Balboa Park, world’s fairs and, specifical-

ly, the 1915 Panama-California Exposition. Each year, fairgrounds officials designate a theme for the county fair, which attracts some 1.4 million visitors during its annual run. Exhibits, activities and signage are tied to the theme. This year’s theme was “the Fab Fair,” and celebrated the music of the Beatles and the

culture of the British Invasion of the 1960s. Flanking officials at Wednesday’s news conference was a reproduction of a poster from the 1930 San Diego County Fair, which was held at Balboa Park. Along with exhibits and events at next summer’s San Diego County Fair, the partnership between the 22nd

Solana Beach sand replenishment project still on track BY KRISTINA HOUCK A project that could replenish beaches in Solana Beach and Encinitas over the next 50 years is still on track. For nearly 15 years, the neighboring coastal cities have been working with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to plan the project, which recently received a recommendation for approval from the assistant secretary of the Army. “That’s a big milestone for us,” said Deputy Mayor Lesa Heebner at the Sept. 10 council meeting. The proposed plan is to use sand from offshore borrow sites to replenish depleting North County beaches and eroding beach bluffs. “Pretty much our beaches, naturally, are

SDG&E makes case for new rate structure BY KRISTINA HOUCK San Diego Gas & Electric wants to change the way it calculates its customers’ bills. While San Diegans had an opportunity to weigh in on the utility company’s proposal during California Public Utilities Commission hearings last week, SDG&E representatives presented their proposal to the Del Mar City Council. The more energy that customers use, the more they pay. But because there are different rates under the company’s four-tier system, SDG&E representatives argued the structure actually creates inequity.

Del Mar school district aiming to improve attendance, reduce tardies BY KAREN BILLING September may be Attendance Awareness Month, but the Del Mar Union School District has already placed a special emphasis on attendance this year. The district has rolled out a new slogan, “In school, on time, every day,” a message it is sending out to all school families and one that appears on banners on all campuses. “We don’t want to let it drop and just be a Septem-

ber thing,” said Cara Schukoske, director of pupil services. “Our principals have committed to collecting information and to make recommendations to be consistent in the ways we’re promoting good attendance … We want students to be in class learning as much as possible.” Schukoske said the district’s interest and concern regarding attendance was prompted by a 2013 report on truancy and absenteeism

by Attorney General Kamala Harris. “There were startling findings relating to student achievement and attendance, as well as graduation rates,” Schukoske said. According to the California Department of Education, 691,470 California elementary students, or 1 out of every 5, was reported to be truant in the 2011-12 school year. In the state, students are truant if they are absent or tardy by more

than 30 minutes without a valid excuse more than three times a year. Estimates based on a sample of California school districts in Harris’ report found that more than 250,000 students are estimated to miss 10 percent or more of the school year. Almost 83,000 California students have more than three weeks of unexcused absences, and 20,000 elementary school children miss 36 days or more of school in a year. Schukoske said that

they hope to send a positive message, to make students feel good about being in school. The district’s immediate focus is on “tardies” in the morning, placing more attention on students who are late, and creating initiatives and activities to reduce tardies. “Tardies don’t only impact the student who’s late,” Schukoske said. “It disrupts all the students in class when a student is late.”

DM City Council upholds public trailhead plan BY KRISTINA HOUCK Del Mar hikers will soon have a new way to access three local trails. The Del Mar City Council on Sept. 15 upheld the conditional approval of a coastal development permit by Kathleen Garcia, Del Mar’s planning and community development director, for a public trailhead at Jimmy Durante Boulevard and San Dieguito Drive. After Garcia’s decision in June, Del Mar residents Michael and Janice Batter, represented by attorney Jon Corn, filed an appeal in July. According to the staff report, the couple filed for a number of reasons, such as that the location warranted an environmental analysis, public parking isn’t allowed in the North Commercial Zone, and more. The public trailhead will offer access to the Coast-to-Crest Trail, Grand Avenue Overlook and Riverpath Del Mar. Two other public access trails are planned for the area — an extension of the Coast-to-Crest Trail under the nearby North County Transit District railroad bridge over the San Dieguito River, and an extension of the Riverpath Del Mar trail along the south side of the San Dieguito Lagoon, connecting to the Grand Avenue Overlook. There is no designated trailhead location and little public parking for these paths. Once the project is completed, the trailhead will feature two solar-powered park, pay and display meters, as well as 37 parking spaces. No grading or construction is proposed for the site. The project is at two adjacent, vacant sites at the intersection’s northeast corner. One of the properties is 29,450 square feet and is owned by NCTD, but is under a 10-year lease by Del Mar. The city owns the other property, which is roughly 1,500 square feet. The site has previously been used as a recycling center, special event and construction lay-down site, and for public parking.

$4.4 billion cost estimated to decommission San Onofre station BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Decommissioning of the idled San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station in northern San Diego County will cost an estimated $4.4 billion, according to a plan submitted Sept. 23 by majority owner Southern California Edison. The plan, summed up in three documents submitted to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, envisions major decommissioning work to begin in early 2016. The documents include a decommissioning plan, a cost estimate and how to manage spent fuel. The plan was vetted in a series of public meetings. Another chance for the public to comment on the plan is scheduled for Sept. 29 at 4 p.m. at the San Juan Capistrano Community Center in that southern Orange County city. ``These important regulatory submittals will guide us as we decommission San Onofre in a safe and timely manner while continuing to serve as good environmental and financial stewards on behalf of our customers and the public,’’ said Tom Palmisano, SCE vice president and chief nuclear officer.

Solana Beach moving forward with seawall mitigation study BY KRISTINA HOUCK After a four-year delay, Solana Beach is moving forward with a study that will determine how much private property owners have to compensate the public for lost sand and recreational opportunities because of the construction of a seawall. “The seawalls are in place, but the mitigation is not in place,” said Jim Jaffee, of the Surfrider Foundation during the first community meeting for the mitigation fee study update project Sept. 23 at City Hall. He noted that he and others of the city’s citizens committee initially proclaimed the study would be completed in 2006. “It’s kind of a travesty that it’s taken us 10 years to get this far.” In 2008, Solana Beach launched a study to establish mitigation fees for seawalls by evaluating the potential impacts on sand supply and loss of recreational use of the public beach. The draft fee study was made available to the public in April 2010 for review and comments. A corrected draft was issued in July 2010 and the public comment period closed in October 2010. The 2010 draft fee study recommended a land lease and recreation fee. The report concluded that the appropriate fee was

$3,100 per linear foot. Applicants could pay one-third of the cost up front, with the remaining balance due by 2081. The 2010 report is still available and on the city’s website, but it remains a draft. The report was never finalized and put on hold for the last four years while the city worked to finalize its Land Use Plan, which was adopted by the Solana Beach City Council and California Coastal Commission in February 2013. In the interim, the city has assessed land lease and recreation fees at $1,000 per linear foot. At the start of 2014, Solana Beach received a $120,000 grant from the California Coastal Commission so the city could update its 2010 study. Initiated in June, the study update process will incorporate and reflect certified LUP policies, as well as review and address public comments on the 2010 report. Public review should begin in March 2015, followed by a second public meeting in April. The council is expected to hear the report next September. The report will be submitted to the California Coastal Commission after the council adopts it. The update process is expected to be completed by April 2016.

DM council requests redesign Canyon Crest Academy freshman a of proposed two-story home finalist in national STEM competition ‘There are alternatives that would preserve that ocean view’ BY KRISTINA HOUCK To preserve public views, the Del Mar City Council on Sept. 15 asked an architect to redesign plans for a proposed two-story, single-family home on Ocean View Avenue. “This project unreasonably blocks public views, and there are alternatives available that will result in a perfectly usable project for the applicant and will help that project blend in with the neighborhood successfully,” said Councilman Don Mosier. Kerry and Michelle Marsh have asked to demolish a two-story home at 340 Ocean View Ave. with a detached carport in order to construct a new, two-story, single-family residence with a basement, pool and spa. The requested permits would allow the applicant to perform associated gut-and-fill grading, landscaping and structural site improvements, including the removal of six of 11 Torrey pines from the 14,350-square-foot lot. The project went to the Design Review Board three times — in December, February and March — before the board conditionally approved design review, land conservation and coastal development permits for the project at its May 28 meeting. At that time, the applicant presented revised plans that included lowering the levels of the house as well as the roof pitches. Doing so reduced the proposed house’s height to about 3 feet taller than the existing structure in the location of the new garage and 26.5 inches taller at the proposed entry. The existing flat-roofed home has a roof elevation of about 205 feet. Brian Church, owner of Del Mar-based Brian Church Architecture, said the plans — which have been revised three times — actually opened up new views. Nevertheless, Joseph Dietz, who lives across the street from the proposed house, appealed the Design Review Board’s decision, arguing that the project blocked coastal views and detracted from the natural beauty of the coastal area. “As a benefit for the Del Mar residents and visitors who enjoy it today, we believe that the natural views in our seaside city are not infinite, and worthy of your city’s commitment to protect scenic, public views from any diminishment or loss,” said Dietz, who has lived in the community for 64 years. A number of neighbors submitted letters supporting the appeal. After hearing from several residents in person, the council on July 21 unanimously decided to hear the appeal during a public hearing. Supporting Dietz’s appeal, several neighbors argued against the project again on Sept. 15, adding that there are reasonable alternatives to the plans. See HOME, page 27

Daniel Bruce, a freshman at Canyon Crest Academy, was recently named one of 30 national finalists in the Broadcom MASTERS (Math, Applied Science, Technology and Engineering for Rising Stars) competition. Daniel completed his project, “Flight Initiation Distance: Human Presence Impacts on Lagoon Bird Response,” while he was a student at The Rhoades School. The Broadcom MASTERS is one of the nation’s most prestigious science, technology, engineering and applied mathematics (STEM) contests for middle school students. The 30 finalists were announced on Sept. 17 and students represent 13 different states and 29 schools. California has the most finalists with seven. Students are invited to compete in Broadcom MASTERS by entering their projects in regional and state science fairs. For Daniel’s science fair project, he documented bird species diversity and the number of birds observed at various lagoons spanning 100 miles of the Southern California coastline. Using a laser rangefinder, Daniel measured and compared the distances at which birds in a lagoon preserve would flee due to human presence. Daniel noted the frequency at which human intrusion occurred at each site and also documented environmental noise levels in his coastal lagoon study areas. In October, Daniel and the other finalists will travel to Washington DC on an all-expenses paid trip to compete in the MASTERS competition, in which more than $75,000 in cash prizes will be up for grabs. Daniel’s project will also be on display at the National Geographic Society where he will share his STEM knowledge with a panel of world-renowned scientists and engineers. The MASTERS finalist

Daniel Bruce week schedule also includes visits to Capitol Hill and a formal dinner and awards ceremony at the Carnegie Institution of Washington.

DM school district OKs adapted plan to move childhood center to Torrey Hills School BY KAREN BILLING After hearing valuable feedback from community members, the Del Mar Union School District will go ahead with moving the Early Childhood Development Center from Sycamore Ridge Elementary School to Torrey Hills Elementary School, but have settled on a “Plan B” that affects fewer classrooms at the school. The board voted unanimously to approve the adapted plan at its Sept. 17 meeting. Instead of reconfiguring 12 classrooms at Torrey Hills for the center, the district will instead use nine classrooms and two portables now used by the after-school program. The eight classrooms include one kindergarten classroom that will be re-designed as administrative offices for the ECDC. The plan also includes a new 30-space parking lot. Plan B also addresses some Torrey Hills parents’ concerns that K-6 students would be placed in portables rather than permanent classrooms. Parent Julie Broadwin thanked the district for listening. “It’s nice to feel like your thoughts are being taken into account. The configuration is still not great … but Plan B is definitely better than Plan A,” she said. The original Plan A’s total cost was $1.9 million, including construction and all the associated fees. The district did not present the new cost for the approved Plan B, although Assistant Superintendent Cathy Birks said that it would probably be reduced. The board last week approved the $182,000 first step, which is to proceed with architectural and engineering design. The cost will be funded through the district’s Fund 40 special reserves for capital outlay, which has a balance of $2.4 million. About $699,000 of Community Financing District funds will be used to complete other projects at the school, including mounting of LED projectors and adding lunch and shade structures. DMUSD Superintendent Holly McClurg said the ECDC decision has been a long and thoughtful process, based on a lot of input, especially in the past few weeks. The district has an incentive to move the project forward, because as new homes are built in Pacific Highlands Ranch, it will need the increased space at Sycamore Ridge by fall 2016. Broadwin said she understood the district’s tight timeline, but she wished it could delay just a little bit, as many members of the community are still upset, feeling as if they didn’t get enough chance to weigh in on the project. Her concern was echoed by parents Giovanna Carr and Brenda Bilstad. “Parents don’t feel like they were really part of the process … it took everybody by surprise,” Carr said. “I think there needs to be a little more time to address some other concerns before we end up with a really big problem.” McClurg showed a list of 13 meetings at which the plans were discussed. Many were Facilities Master Plan Outreach Committee meetings over the past year. The meetings were held at Del Mar Hills Academy and the committee discussed districtwide facilities needs. A meeting was held at Torrey Hills in December 2013 when the plan was for a new 13,000-square-foot facility at the school, a plan that was opposed by the Torrey Hills Community Planning Board. Most recently, a community meeting was held Sept. 8, and McClurg visited the Torrey Hills’ principal’s coffee events on Sept. 5 and Sept. 11 to discuss the plans. Bilsted said she felt the information presented wasn’t consistent, especially when the plan changed from new construction to reconfigured classrooms. “We need timely and consistent infor-

mation that’s parent-friendly, and the parents need to be engaged in a meaningful way,” Bilstad said. “We’re emotional … this will change our school, which is the heart and soul of our community, forever.” Parents also worried about the new surrounding developments and how their enrollment will be affected. Jason Romero, assistant superintendent of human resources, said that through the facilities master plan process, studies on capacity throughout the district were completed. Parents questioned whether the schools on the west side of the district with lower enrollment, such as Del Mar Hills Academy, had been considered to house the Early Childhood Development Center. Romero said Torrey Hills has the most classrooms available. He noted that the Del Mar Hills and Heights communities are seeing an increase in enrollment because of the turnover of homes. Romero also said that while Del Mar Hills Academy has the lowest enrollment, it also has the fewest classrooms. Twenty-one students are in the 88 units occupied at the new neighboring Torrey Gardens development. Romero said they have used the highest factor to estimate that there will be 145 students at Torrey Hills Elementary School from the 484 units at Torrey Gardens and Ocean Air (Torrey Hills developments). Romero said even with the highest predicted number of new students, Torrey Hills Elementary School will still have capacity, as the enrollment is projected to decrease in the coming years because of smaller classes and fewer students from the existing homes. As the district is growing, Romero said if it’s not 100 ECDC students at Torrey Hills, it will be 200 students in grades K-6 because they will need to put children somewhere. Parent Clare Lemon said that to some extent, the district is looking into a “crystal ball” on its enrollment projections and she is concerned about what would happen if the district is wrong. She said Torrey Hills is one of the district’s more dynamic school sites, where the neighborhood around the school is undergoing big changes. “It seems shortsighted. (The ECDC) should be in a place where it can grow and the K-6 population can have some flexibility as well,” Lemon said. Trustee Alan Kholos said because of input from parents, he’s asked a lot of the same questions and has been satisfied with the answers and studies the district has done. “I have a high level of confidence that this is a good decision,” Kholos said. One of the biggest concerns expressed about adding the center to the campus is regarding traffic, which parents say is already very dangerous. Lemon said there are no crosswalks, and the parking lot needs another exit as there have been near-misses with students and cars. The district is hoping to employ a staggered start time for the center and the rest of the school, so all the students won’t be arriving at once. DMUSD Board President Doug Rafner and Kholos said the district should address the traffic problems at the school, regardless of the Early Childhood Development Center. The crosswalks are a city issue, but trustee Kristin Gibson said the district may be able to come up with some alternatives, such as working with the police department or safety patrols. “Most students in the apartments will walk to school, causing a change in circumstances,” Rafner said. “The city allowed the development to be built in an area where people need to cross the street, so they should do something to make it safer.”

Roberts believes in turf talk County supervisor installs artificial grass, promoting rebate program BY KRISTINA HOUCK To set an example during the statewide drought, San Diego County Supervisor Dave Roberts has replaced his lawn with artificial turf. “We’re in a drought, and I think everybody should do their part,” said Roberts, who sits on the board of the San Diego County Water Authority. “This was our next step in reducing our water usage.” Roberts and his partner, Wally Oliver, kicked off the five-day project Sept. 15 when workers began tearing up the 6,000-square-foot County Supervisor Dave Roberts and Turf Evolutions lawn at their Solana Beach owner Shannon Beck. Photo by Kristina Houck home and replacing it with artificial turf. Because artificial turf reduces water use by about 44 gallons per square foot, Roberts and Oliver expect to save about 264,000 gallons of water each year. The couple used government financing and rebate programs to fund the $45,000 project and expect a return on their investment in less than nine years. Roberts and Oliver will recover some of their costs through a rebate program from the Metropolitan Water District. They are eligible to receive about $2 per square foot of grass that is replaced. The remaining $33,000 is being financed through an assessment on their property tax bill under the Property Assessed Clean Energy, or PACE, program. PACE is administered in California through the Home Energy Renovation Opportunity, or HERO, program (www.heroprogram.com). Property owners must live in a city that participates in the HERO program, which Solana Beach adopted late 2013. “We’re trying to show that this is something people can easily do,” Roberts said. “You don’t have to have the money. As long as you can qualify for the program, you can get the money.” Turf Evolutions was hired to install the artificial turf, which is guaranteed to last 25 See TURF, page 27

The Baked Bear, owned by TPHS graduates Shane Stanger and Robby Robbins, will be a tenant at Pacific Highlands Ranch Village.

Baked Bear ice cream sandwich shop coming to PHR Village in Carmel Valley The Baked Bear has been announced as the newest tenant at Pacific Highlands Ranch Village, bringing custom-built ice cream sandwiches to Carmel Valley from Pacific Beach. The owners of Baked Bear are two local Torrey Pines High School graduates, Shane Stanger and Robby Robbins. The pair have run a store in Pacific Beach since May 2013 and also have a storefront in Petco Park. “After the initial success we had in Pacific Beach, Rob and I knew we wanted to go back to our roots and open a store as close to our high school (Torrey Pines) as possible,” Stanger said. “There has been a huge amount of support from our hometown community and we feel that The Village at PHR is everything we were looking for in our next location.” At The Baked Bear, customers line up to create a sandwich made from a variety of ice cream flavors and freshly baked cookies, brownies or waffles. “The Village is proud to have a fun, family friendly tenant like The Baked Bear as part of our tenant line-up and we really like the fact it has local ownership with deep roots in Carmel Valley,” said Dan Curran, vice president of Coast Income Properties. PHR Village is currently under construction on Carmel Valley Road and Village Center Loop Road, across from Canyon Crest Academy. The 155,000 square feet center will be home to a Trader Joe’s, a mix of shops and restaurants, 331 multi-family units, a town square gathering spot and a village green. The first stores are expected to open in 2015. — Karen Billing

guess you could say it started in a pool and in the ocean, so it seems fitting that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re able to help raise funds for the water polo program,â&#x20AC;? said Janet Berend, who lives in Leucadia. Schutzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, Riley, also plays water polo at SDA. The Berends also have a daughter who is a senior at San Dieguito High School Academy. She and her brother Ben, marvel at their â&#x20AC;&#x153;rock starâ&#x20AC;? parents. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hilarious. We rehearse in our living room and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s kind of a role reversal,â&#x20AC;? Berend said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re the ones saying â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Mom, Dad, can you be quiet?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; while weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re in the living room rocking out.â&#x20AC;? Because of her Englishteacher background, Berend was tapped for the duties of writing lyrics for the bandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s original songs. She has also had a young adult novel about skateboarding published called â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vertical.â&#x20AC;? She describes Super Nachoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sets as fun, lively, â&#x20AC;&#x153;silly mayhem,â&#x20AC;? a mixture of original songs and mash-ups of popular songs where they are constantly surprising the audience with which pop tune they are going to roll into. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We put on a heck of a show,â&#x20AC;? Berend said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a joy to playing music, and that translates over to the audience.â&#x20AC;? The band had to go through the live band circuit to get on the local radar screen, so it wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always enjoyable playing 1:30 a.m. shows as busy parents. But once they put in their time and built a strong following, they were able to book a steady happy-hour gig at The Belly Up. They play there about every three months, which is, Berend said, as much as they want to play. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s cool about The Belly Up happy hour is that you can go out, see some really good live music, grab some dinner and be home in bed by 10 p.m. if you want to be,â&#x20AC;? Berend said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s perfect for our audience.â&#x20AC;? Visit bellyup.com. The Belly Up is at 143 S. Cedros Ave., Solana Beach.

‘Rabbit on a Bumpy Road’: San Diego politician Tom Hom pens a memoir BY WILL BOWEN “‘Always be a gentleman.’ That’s what my father, who was one of my mentors, used to tell me at the dinner table at our nightly family meal,” said tom Hom, retired San Diego politician/real estate agent, and now autobiographical author, to the audience Sept. 10 at Warwick’s Bookstore. “That was my first lesson in civic responsibility. “My second lesson in civics came from my second mentor, William J. Oakes, who was the principal at Memorial Junior High School in Logan Heights, where I was a student. “Oakes used to tell us that despite our ethnicity or cultural background, we were all Americans and we could become anything we wanted to be. “My third important lesson came from my third mentor, Admiral Les Gehres (now retired), who took me under his wing and taught me how to be a politician. Gehres told me that if I wanted to run for office, I should go ahead and do it and he would help me. Because of Gehres, I switched from the Democratic to Republican Party and we won big in my first outing. “Some people think you should pull yourself up by your own bootstraps, but

Tom Hom at Warwick’s Bookstore. Photo by Will Bowen I am a firm believer in the importance of having mentors, guides and teachers who influence and help you develop.” Hom, age 87, was in La Jolla to sign copies of his new book, “Rabbit on a Bumpy Road: A Story of Courage and Endurance.” One reader described the book as “A sunny memory that made me feel good every time I turned a page.” The rabbit in the title and on the book cover is a reminder that Hom was born in the Year of the Rabbit in the Chinese horoscope. “As a youngster, I loved to read autobiographies,” he told the audience. “I think my favorite was by Benjamin Franklin. We all have a story to tell. Somewhere along the

way, I was advised that I ought to keep a diary, which I have done for 55 years. This book is the product of that diary.” Hom was a highly visible

and well-liked politician from the 1960s to the 1980s. He was elected to the San Diego City Council, served as Deputy Mayor and earned a seat in the State Assembly. Some of the major accomplishments during his tenure in office included the building of Qualcomm Stadium, Old Town State Park, and the Gaslamp District, the latter of which transformed San Diego’s downtown and became nationally recognized. Like thousands of other Chinese immigrants, Hom’s father, David, came to San Francisco from the Canton region of South China. At the Presbyterian Mission in San Francisco where he was staying, the elder Hom chose the name David from the Biblical story of David and Goliath, which he admired. Later, David Hom came to San Diego, where he opened a produce company at 439 Fourth St. named David Produce. Tom Hom grew up speaking only Chinese on the streets of San Diego’s Chinatown. He recalls using chewing gum on the end of a chopstick to fish coins out from between the planks of the plank road that used to run through Chinatown. In time, the Hom family moved to Logan Heights where Hom began to learn English. His first English

word was “candy,” uttered in response to the promptings of his teacher, who was trying to soothe him after a fall. At age 5, Hom’s mother passed away, leaving his father with five young boys to raise. The elder Hom wrote back to his family in China and they found a new wife to send him — a well-educated and modern Chinese woman from the days of the New Chinese Republic. This second marriage added four more boys and three girls to the Hom family. The elder Hom wanted his new family to be part of the American fabric, so he named the boys after famous Americans, such as Thomas Edison, George Washington, John Philip Sousa, Paul Revere, and Francis Scott Key. All of the children helped at the produce market. In 1943, Tom’s father died from tuberculosis. This meant all his children had to work long, hard hours to keep the family business going. In 1949, Tom Hom found that he, too, had the beginnings of TB. He was sent to a sanitarium in Mission Valley, where, after a year of experimental treatment, he was cured. As he recovered, Hom realized he could not go back to the hard, physical work of the produce business, so he thought about a new career.

His primary desire was to be an art teacher, but he was told minorities were not hired to teach in the public school system. So he went into real estate, opening the Thomas E. Hom Realty Company in 1956. As a minority, he was saddled by covenant restrictions. “The way I would sell real estate was to ask a prospective client to take a drive with me to anywhere they would like to live in the city. The client would point out a house that he liked and the next day I would go back and ask the homeowner if he would like to sell his property. It worked pretty well. I sold a lot of houses that way!” Hom faced many closed doors and obstacles on the bumpy road of life as a minority citizen. But he persevered and was able to make many important contributions to the development of San Diego. All along the road of life, a thought guided him. “I knew that America had too many good people not to rectify the injustices of society,” he said. Hom relocated his business, THG The Tom Hom Group, to Fay Avenue in La Jolla. He can be reached at 858-456-5000 or thom@ tomhomgroup.com.

Arts Alive event Sept. 28 in Solana Beach features artwork, music, performers and more BY KRISTINA HOUCK Artwork will once again line the Coastal Rail Trail, and musicians, dancers and theater performers will transform Coast Highway 101 into a stage during Arts Alive Sept. 28 in Solana Beach. Among participating artists are father-daughter duo Edward Edington and Michelle Moraga. Their three-in-one ceramic piece, “Dream Path in Color,” is one of 13 to be featured on the 5-foot-high fence that stretches along the 1.5-mile Coastal Rail Trail. “Inspired by dreams, we wanted something bright,” said Moraga about the already-installed project. “I hope people enjoy it.” A Del Mar resident, Moraga grew up in Solana Beach, where she lived for about 35 years until 2013. A former stay-at-homemother of two, she and her father opened Ceramic Design in 2009. They decided to launch their own business after completing a yearlong backyard ceramic mosaic project. Now based out of her

way 101. With “Dream Along the Trail” as this year’s theme, the fifth annual event promises to be even better, said Anita Edman, the city’s community services coordinator. Besides the featured artwork, the free art and cultural event will showcase live musicians, dancers and theater performers — including acrobats, a barbershop quartet and stilt walkers. “There’s a lot of fun and interesting things to see — and even participate in,” said Edman. Arts Alive attendees will be also be

asked to add to a community art project. The project encourages participants to share their dreams and wishes, using dry erase markers on whiteboards attached to the fence. “Art is something different for everyone,” Edman said. “It’s so individual, yet so broad. Arts Alive will have something for everyone.” Arts Alive on the Coastal Rail Trail takes place from noon to 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28, along Coast Highway. Visit www.ci.solana-beach.ca.us.

She noted that the community event is a perfect opportunity to promote her work and enjoy local art. In fact, an estimated more than 400 people attended the event last year, when the city also celebrated the grand reopening of Coast High-

A local group is hoping you’ll ditch the car and instead bike or walk to Solana Beach’s Arts Alive Sept. 28. In conjunction with the city’s annual art and cultural event, BikeWalkSolana is hosting the Solana Beach Joy Ride and Walk. The local community group — which works for better and safer bicycling and walking facilities, and promotes cycling and walking in Solana Beach — launched the event last year. Both the ride and walk start at Plaza Street and Coast Highway 101. The 2.6-mile bike ride along the 101 kicks off at 11:30 a.m., followed by the 1.4-mile walk at noon. Both events are free and open to all ages. “Because it’s connected with Arts Alive, we hope people will come car-free,” said Kristine Schindler, a committee member for BikeWalkSolana. “Think outside the car.” For more about BikeWalkSolana and the second Joy Walk and Ride, visit bikewalksolana.org. — By Kristina Houck

Popular Del Mar Taste & Art Stroll back Oct. 5 with food, music and K-9 fun BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although Chef Dan Saito is quick to thank his mentor, celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck, his numerous achievements have ranked him as a top chef in his own right. From heading the kitchen at Manele Bay Hotel and Resort in Hawaii, to developing signature dishes for billionaire Bill Gates’ wedding, the two-time James Beard Award nominee is well known for his cuisine. And now he’s in Del Mar. Saito joined Hotel Indigo Del Mar as its new executive chef in June. Although his new menu doesn’t debut for a few more weeks, foodies can sample some on Sunday, Oct. 5, during the annual Del Mar Taste & Art Stroll in the village of Del Mar. “The Del Mar Taste & Art Stroll will provide us the opportunity to showcase something different,” said Saito, who noted the new breakfast menu will feature banana cream pancakes, corned beef hash, chorizo with scrambled eggs, Portuguese sausage, and more. “The food is going to be

Photo by Jon Clark unique and different — that’s for sure.” Although Del Mar is the smallest city in San Diego County, it offers cuisine from around the world. More than two dozen of the city’s restaurants will offer samples of their signature dishes during the event. “The Taste & Art Stroll is a great thing for the community,” said Bratzo Basagoitia, who has owned and operated Cafe Secret with

Chef Dan Saito

his wife, Daniella, since 2009. “It’s a good way to exposure yourself to new customers and give back to the community.” Located at 140 Camino del Mar, Cafe Secret serves authentic Peruvian cuisine. Although Basagoitia is still planning his menu for the event, he said newcomers and returnees could expect traditional Peruvian tastes, such as seafood and vegetarian tapas. “We always have a vari-

ety of things,” he said. Presented by the Del Mar Village Association and the city of Del Mar, the Taste & Art Stroll features more than 25 Del Mar restaurants, dozens of local and regional juried artists, several music acts and kid-friendly activities. First launched in 2007, this year the event has expanded by adding sip stops featuring wine and local craft beer. The event will also feature live music along Camino del Mar at various venues, including the Del Mar Plaza and L’Auberge Amphitheater. Several of San Diego’s best artists and bands will take the stage, from Soul Seduction and Pretty Smooth at the plaza, to Gregory Michaels, Lester Abrams and Paulette McWilliams at L’Auberge. The Taste & Art Stroll will also be a festival for dogs. Event-goers are invited to bring their four-legged friends to the K-9 corner, featuring dog treats, specialty pet products and services, and more. “Del Mar is a beautiful

community, with gorgeous ocean views down 15th Street, quaint shops, and fabulous restaurants and bars,” said resident Karen Powell. She’s a board member of the Del Mar Village Association, an organization of Del Mar residents, business owners and property owners dedicated to enhancing the vitality of the village while preserving the community’s history and character. “The Taste & Art Stroll is a nice stroll through town. It’s just a great family event and a lot of fun.” The free Art Stroll will take place from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tickets to the Taste of Del Mar, which will be from noon to 3 p.m., cost $25 before the event and $30 on event day. Tickets for the sip stops are an additional $10. Free public parking is available at the Del Mar Shores/Winston School, at 215 Ninth St. Valet parking with a drop-off location in village is available at 1335 Camino del Mar.

Sanford Education Center to focus on gender relations, joy of learning â&#x20AC;˘Philanthropist funds namesake center in concert with National University, Arizona State BY PAT SHERMAN Philanthropist, South Dakota businessman and part-time La Jolla resident T. Denny Sanford was the man of the hour Sept. 18 during a grand opening celebration for National Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s $10 million Sanford Education Center in La Jolla. The institution â&#x20AC;&#x201D; at 11355 N. Torrey Pines Road in former Jenny Craig office space â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was funded in January by an initial $1 million from Sanford and a subsequent $9.2 million anonymous gift. It is designed to train educators and nonprofit leaders, focusing on three initiatives: strengthening gender relations, coaching students to be more empathetic, and community stewardship. Speaking to attendees in the centerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s auditorium, Sanford noted the participation of Arizona State University in establishing both the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Inspireâ&#x20AC;? and â&#x20AC;&#x153;Harmonyâ&#x20AC;? programs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I conceived but I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t complete (them),â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It took a great organization, ASU, to do the research and the programing, and another type of organization, with a different type of methodology and a differ-

ent characteristic, to put it all together â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and that is National University.â&#x20AC;? Founded in 1971, National University is the second-largest private nonprofit institution of higher education in California, with 30,000 students and more than 140,000 alumni. National University President Michael Cunningham, formerly dean of San Diego State Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School of Business Administration, thanked the mayor and city for helping create the center, located next to National Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s La Jolla campus, in less than nine months. Cunningham said National University is constantly working to assure its programs are innovative and relevant to societal needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a great segue into the programs weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re offering here at the Sanford Education Center,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our goal is by the end of two to three years to be in all the major (private, nonprofit) universities across the country, offering the Sanford-inspired programs.â&#x20AC;? Sanford touted existing collaborations with other private, nonprofit institutions, such as Long Island Universi-

National University President Michael Cunningham, philanthropist T. Denny Sanford and Mayor Kevin Faulconer pose during the grand opening of the Sanford Education Center in La Jolla. Faulconer proclaimed Sept. 18 as â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Sanford Education Center Dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; in San Diego. Photo by Pat Sherman ty. National University signed a memorandum of understanding last week with LIU to offer The Sanford Harmony Program, which encourages positive relationships between girls and boys from pre-kindergarten through sixth grades. Developed by ASU researchers, the program empowers teachers to foster relationships between boys and girls that increase cooperation, inclusion, mutual respect and empathy. Sanford said research has shown that children in the program have improved test scores and enjoy the learning environment more, and that boys display less aggression. Sanford referenced additional research that he said shows that gender segregation in children can lead to relationship problems as men and women, as well as an increase in divorce, sexual harassment, abuse and workplace discrimination.

Sanford said there have been similar programs addressing the problem, â&#x20AC;&#x153;but they just donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get the job done.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Harmony Program came from two divorces that I had to go through and the recognition that the divorce rate in this country is about 65 percent â&#x20AC;Ś thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s unhealthy,â&#x20AC;? said Sanford, who initially approached John Gray, author of the classic â&#x20AC;&#x153;Men are From Mars, Women are From Venus,â&#x20AC;? to write the curriculum. Not coming from an academic background, Gray declined and Sanford approached ASU President Michael Crow. However, the program does have a Martian theme in the form of its gender-neutral space mascot, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Z from the Planet Z.â&#x20AC;? The Sanford Harmony Program will be introduced to 30 classrooms in California, Florida and New York City by yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s end, center officials say. The Sanford Inspire Program will provide teachers with tools and strategies needed to encourage student learning in grades K-12. Sanford said surveys show that most people canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t name three teachers they had in elementary and middle school who truly inspired them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Those are the most formative years, and the ones where someone has to help them light their own spark,â&#x20AC;? he said, adding the program mirrors the model of Teach for America, a nonprofit that enlists recent college graduates and professionals to teach for at least two years in low-income communities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their primary attribute is to get kids inspired,â&#x20AC;? Sanford said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They do it at poverty-level schools. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to do it at all schools.â&#x20AC;? The third center initiative, the Sanford Institute of Philanthropy, will provide training in nonprofit leadership with an emphasis on fundraising techniques, â&#x20AC;&#x153;cause sellingâ&#x20AC;? and relationship building, through programs being developed by National Universityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School of Business and Management. Bob Kelly, who served for nearly 20 years as president of the San Diego Foundation, was hired as the instituteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s executive-in-residence. Sanford Institute of Philanthropy is expected to launch a master of arts degree in Cause Leadership in Spring 2015. Sanford Education Center includes a lecture hall space, capacity for 150-plus people and integrated video technology.

Gala, golf classic put focus on Burn Institute’s vital programs BY KRISTINA HOUCK From hosting camps for burn-injured children to installing smoke detectors for senior citizens, the Burn Institute reaches out to thousands of children and adults each year. To raise funds for the institute’s programs, the San Diego County Fire Chiefs’ Association and the Burn Institute Auxiliary have organized the Chiefs’ Gala and Golf Classic for four years. This year’s gala is slated for Saturday, Oct. 4, at the Paddock at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, followed by a day of golf Monday, Oct. 6, at Maderas Golf Club in Poway. “This year we’ve invigorated the event with the California Dreamin’ theme,” said Susan Day, executive director of the Burn Institute. “It allows our guests to have fun and relax while raising funds for our programs.” Founded in 1972, the Burn Institute helped open the area’s only regional burn center at University Hospital the next year. During its first year of operation, the burn unit treated 89 patients, including 22 children. Dedicated to reducing the number of burn injuries and deaths in San Diego and Imperial counties, today the nonprofit health agency affects thousands of people

burn-injured children, emphasizes building self-esteem and coping skills, and fellowship with other burn survivors. “Come and help support us,” Day said. “We appreciate the generosity of our community because it allows us to continue to provide important safety programs and other services for burn survivors.” The fourth annual gala begins at 6 p.m. with a reception, followed by a live auction and live music from Aloha Radio. The gala will feature a variety of items to bid on, including a chance to join the Chula Vista Police Department SWAT team for a day, a Corum watch valued at $10,000 and a trip to Hawaii. The golf classic kicks off with a shotgun start at noon and culminates with a recep-

Susan G. Komen San Diego’s Breast Cancer Symposium is Sept. 30 Helen Thayer and Katerina Lutz

Helen Thayer on her trip to the magnetic North Pole.

National Geographic Explorer of the Century Helen Thayer presents at DMF Talks What does one have to do to be named “Explorer of the Century” by National Geographic? Guests of Del Mar Foundation and San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy had the chance to find out on Sept. 15 at a special rendition of Del Mar Foundation Talks titled “Life Without Limits.” Participants of all ages filled the Powerhouse to hear Helen Thayer share the epic tale of her solo trip to the magnetic North Pole. With no outside help, pulling her own sled, and accompanied by her dog, Charlie, Thayer was 50 years old when she made this trip. Her frequent encounters with polar bears, fierce arctic storms, breaking ice and near starvation held the audience’s rapt attention. She described overcoming these challenges by planning and training for them, through resilience and the ability to acknowledge fear and push through it. Her message of courage and strength inspired the audience, which had the opportunity to ask questions after the presentation. Among her other achievements, Thayer is the first woman to walk across the Sahara Desert, following an ancient 4,000-mile trade route from Morocco to the Nile River, and the first woman to walk 1,600 miles across the Mongolian Gobi Desert. She has lived alongside a wolf den for more than six months and was the first non-Indian woman to kayak 2,200 miles in the Amazon. A best-selling author, she has three books in print: “Polar Dreams,” “3 Among the Wolves,” and “Walking the Gobi.” As a motivational speaker, Thayer travels internationally, inspiring audiences around the world. She was an honored guest at the White House in recognition of her expeditions

Adventure Classroom, a nonprofit 501c3 organization, was founded by Thayer with the goal of inspiring students to embrace integrity, demonstrate courage, and assume responsibility for their actions. DMF Talks, the Del Mar Foundation’s version of the famed TED Talks, draws its speakers from locally based creative, intellectual and scientific leaders. Launched in 2012, DMF Talks aim to entertain, inspire, and inform the community through a series of free presentations. Visit delmarfoundation.org.

CV’s ‘Cooking Guy’ among nine to be honored for philanthropy

Sam Zien, ‘The Cooking Guy,’ will be honored at the National Philanthropy Day Awards Luncheon.

Nine outstanding community leaders, including Carmel Valley resident Sam “The Cooking Guy” Zien, have been chosen as honorees at the upcoming National Philanthropy Day Awards Luncheon. The event, presented by Sharp HealthCare, will take place Oct. 28 at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront Hotel. National Philanthropy Day is in its 42nd year and is organized by the Association of Fundraising Professionals, San Diego Chapter (AFPSD). This year’s theme is “Celebrating Philanthropy: Gifts of Time, Talent and Treasure.” Committed to celebrating the rich diversity in the region, National Philanthropy Day recognizes the critical role philanthropy plays in our community and honors those who do it best. Sam “The Cooking Guy” Zien has been named Outstanding Celebrity Philanthropist.

Zien has also been a steadfast supporter of Noah Homes, a nonprofit that provides independent living to adults with developmental disabilities. For the past six years, he has dedicated time by putting on shows to benefit Noah Homes residents, serving as auctioneer for their golf tournament, and most recently acting as master of ceremonies for their 30th anni-

versary celebration.

Natural ability and teamwork make athlete a coach’s dream

15922 Las Planideras Rancho Santa Fe, 92607 Friday, September 26, 2014 Saturday, September 27, 2014 Sunday, September 28, 2014 9:00 am till 3:00 pm

How often does a coach come across a player with so much natural athletic ability that she has played not one, not two, but three sports at a national level? If you have not yet heard of her, you will now: Introducing Chiara Schwab (CC to her friends). CC’s unique athletic background includes 5th place at the Little Mo National Tennis tournament in Austin, Texas, under Coach Woody Blocker, playing on the nationally ranked (top 5) Del Mar Carmel Valley Sharks soccer team under Coach Felicia Kappes, and volleyball on the nationally ranked Encinitas Wave volleyball club team under Coach Michelle Moriarty. A year ago, CC picked up her tennis racquet again to join her high school team, the Torrey Pines Falcons, and helped the team clinch its 24th Division One CIF title under Chiara “CC” Schwab then- Coach James Jack. As a doubles specialist, CC and teammate Michelle Hao contributed two out of three crucial doubles matches towards the team’s CIF victory over Rancho Bernardo. Fast forward a year later to September 2014, and after a busy year playing USTA tournaments in the Los Angeles area and attending clinics at Coach Alex Levie’s Surf n Turf Tennis Club, CC has landed on the Prince Hot 100 list, coming in at No. 40 in the country. She is co-captain this year with fellow senior Kelsey Chen of the Torrey Pines Falcons girls’ tennis team, with the goal of leading the team to their 25th CIF championship. In an age of specialization, CC brings a unique perspective of well-roundedness and maturity. Perhaps not surprisingly, what many have observed about CC’s tennis is that her lack of fear, explosiveness and ability to finish points decisively at the net comes from playing volleyball. Throw in her height for an added advantage. If you ask CC what her goals are for the 2014 high school tennis season, in addition to winning the 25th CIF championship for Torrey Pines, she will tell you her goal is to play a doubles match with each of the other 16 girls on the varsity team. Only two weeks into the season, CC has already had a lot of fun playing and winning her doubles matches with five different team mates. “As a doubles specialist, I try to adapt to my partner’s technical strengths and weaknesses. As a leader I try to complement her personality. It’s easy to feel good when we win, but when we lose I also try to pick my partner up and help her understand that as long as we gave our best on the court and had fun, then that’s ultimately what it’s all about. I would like to be remembered as the girl who played with everyone on the team.”

BikeWalkSolana promotes ‘safety first’ BY KRISTINA HOUCK With school now in session, BikeWalkSolana is reminding children and parents that safety comes first when walking, riding or rolling to school. To prepare for the new school year, the local community group held a Bike Safety Rodeo Aug. 21 to teach elementary school students and their parents the importance of fun and safe bicycle riding through a series of interactive stations. About 20 children ages 5-8 participated in the event, which included a bike safety inspection and helmet fitting, and emphasized the rules of the road and safe routes to school. “Schools are back in session, so more kids are walking and riding,” said Kristine Schindler, a committee member for BikeWalkSolana, a local community group that works for better and safer bicycling and walking facilities, and promotes cycling and walking in Solana Beach. “We want to

make the community aware of that so they’re alert and have good driving behaviors.” The group’s next Bike Safety Rodeo is planned for Nov. 16. The workshop will take place either at La Colonia Community Center, which is where the last Bike Safety Rodeo was held, or Skyline Elementary School. In the meantime, BikeWalkSolana members have reached out to local schools and recently met with Lisa Denham, principal of Skyline, and Lisa Platt, principal of Solana Vista Elementary, to reiterate the importance of safe walking, riding and rolling habits. “Both principals have been very supportive of more walking, riding and rolling to school,” Schindler noted. “They acknowledge the benefits of active transportation to health, environment, community and the quality of life.” For more about BikeWalkSolana and the group’s events, visit bikewalksolana.org.

Letters to the editor/Opinion Thanks to Planning Group for reviewing One Paseo plan I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the Carmel Valley Planning Group for their fine job reviewing the One Paseo Main Street Plan. I live in Torrey Hills, the southern area of Carmel Valley. My family chose to live in this area because of the special character and quality of life it provides. The One Paseo project, as proposed, did not appear to be a “good fit” with the nature of the neighborhoods and communities in the area. I was pleased to see how the Planning Board accepted input from the community, and ultimately came to the right decision. I was also delighted that the Planning Group did not completely reject the project. Instead, they more effectively requested a reduction in size and scale. I do support development on this site, but something that is a better fit for our community. Now that the Planning Group has taken these initial steps, it’s time we look at this site with a more open eye. There is greater opportunity here than just retail, commercial or residential use. If properly planned, there also are cultural and educational benefits from which our community may benefit. Elliot Adler Carmel Valley

Community has spoken: One Paseo is too big!

LORINE WRIGHT Executive Editor editor@delmartimes.net editor@rsfreview.com

The community has spoken and the message is clear: We don’t want a project this big in our community. With the Community Planning Board’s overwhelming 11-2 vote to reject Kilroy Realty’s project, everyone in San Diego knows where we stand. It was evident to me at the very first Community Planning Board meeting when a 400-strong crowd packed Canyon Crest’s auditorium to oppose this project, and now this vote has indisputably confirmed the community’s position. I’d like to know now what the potential impacts of the scaled-down version would be. Would the conditions the Community Planning Board recommended solve the traffic problems the community will face in the coming decades? Unfortunately, we won’t know the full impacts until an environmental impact report is completed, and from what Kilroy has indicated, they plan to bulldoze ahead and completely ignore the community’s wishes. My friends and neighbors, we need to keep fighting! If you don’t want to see Kilroy shove our community aside, then speak out. Let the City Council know you are against this project, and attend the planning commission meeting on Oct. 2 to voice your opposition. William Bibb

While the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board voted to reject One Paseo recently, this issue is far from over. Neither the City Council nor the City Planning Commission is required to heed the advice of the Community Planning Board’s vote. The board took a step toward forcing Kilroy to propose something smaller by rejecting One Paseo, but now it is up to the community to have the courage and perseverance to carry this message to the city. We cannot sit back and hope that this advisory vote was enough. We need to carry the momentum from this vote forward and fill the upcoming Planning Commission meeting on Oct. 2 with the same determined opposition we brought to the Planning Board meetings. We must ensure that the city knows that our position is unwavering. If we do nothing, there is little to stop Kilroy from downplaying this advisory vote and continuing to falsely claim that they represent the community. We cannot let this happen. Let’s see this through and make sure that One Paseo is only built on a size and scale that fits our community. Gabriele Prater

SD River Valley Conservancy wins $150,000 program award from county The San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy has received a $150,000 Neighborhood Reinvestment Program award from the county of San Diego, proposed by Third District County Supervisor Dave Roberts. The conservancy has previously received $46,500 from major donors and the California 10/20 to match this award. The funds will pay for the design and environmental review needed to build a portion of Del Mar’s River Path from Jimmy Durante Boulevard to the Old Grand Avenue Bridge, providing scenic vistas of the lagoon wetlands, and interpretive information for flora and fauna. The total project cost is estimated at $470,000. “Recreational trails are an important part of our local environment,” said Roberts. “They give us a chance to walk, exercise and enjoy nature. I am pleased to work with the Conservancy and the city of Del Mar to build this trail.” The balance of $253,500 will be secured by the city of Del Mar, which has already committed $20,000, in partnership with the Conservancy, through a combination of city funds, grants, mitigation funds and other private donations. The trail of the Del Mar River Path runs west from Jimmy Durante Boulevard to the coast and parallels the south edge of the San Dieguito River. Users of the River Path are treated to beautiful water views and information regarding this important wetland and natural resource. The proposed path extension will continue on the east side of Jimmy Durante Boulevard to the Old Grande Avenue Bridge. The city has secured the long-term lease of a parcel from the North County Transit District at Jimmy Durante Boulevard and San Dieguito Drive specifically for the purpose of providing parking for the River Path Del Mar extension.

New county program to help at-risk youth BY SUPERVISOR DAVE ROBERTS An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. That’s the adage, coined by none other than Benjamin Franklin. Considering that he lived until age 84 and he lived at a time when few effective medicines were available to fight all manner of disease, he must have known what he was talking about. It’s not 1706 to 1790 anymore, but at the County of San Diego we like to apply this Founding Father’s adage into workable programs aimed at prevention. That’s why recently the San Diego County Board of Supervisors approved a new demonstration program, the California Well-Being Project, which will be a collaboration between the county’s Director of Child Welfare Services and our Chief Probation Officer. In plain English, with this action, our county was granted a Title IV-E waiver and new funding so that the county’s Child Welfare Services staff will be able to expand recruitment efforts to find more adoptive families for children who may be the most challenging to place in forever families. Partnering with Supervisor Greg Cox, and garnering the unanimous support of the Board of Supervisors, we had established the Exceptional Families program and the Quality Parenting Initiative. Because of this Title IV-E waiver, we will be able to implement greater services to a broader group of at-risk youth. Since joining this Board in 2013, I have passionately supported critical initiatives that would strengthen our county’s Child Welfare families. To be frank, a kid living in a caring home has a better chance of making it than a kid living in a home where the parents don’t care. Maybe it does take a village to raise a child, but I’m a firm believer that first and foremost, it takes parents who care. This waiver can also be used by the county’s Health and Human Services Agency to strengthen the relationship among foster parents and Child Welfare Social Workers. We will do this by providing more comprehensive training and reaching out to better support more quality foster homes for children in the foster care system because every child deserves a loving and permanent home. How did this new program happen so quickly? This past January, I joined Supervisor Cox, Health and Human

Dave Roberts Services Agency Director Nick Macchione and Child Welfare Services Director Debra Zanders-Willis on a critical trip to Washington, D.C., to persuade federal officials to grant us a waiver and new funding. We met with the entire leadership team of the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Administration for Children and Families, who oversee all child welfare programs and funding in our nation. We presented our “Live Well, San Diego!” initiative and showcased how we could help our foster children and adoptive families if we were granted more flexibility. In other words, we pitched the idea of why a waiver would substantially help us improve our outcomes. We also discussed how the Title IV-E program would further support our efforts to help at-risk families and children throughout all of San Diego County. As taxpayers like you — who open their laptops or the newspaper each morning to read the sobering news — we sometimes wonder whether Washington ever listens. This time they did listen. And the results will be astounding here in San Diego County. I am so encouraged by today’s Board action. This Title IV-E waiver represents a new, powerful tool for our county staff to help improve the lives of kids and families in our county. We can now etter help children heal from trauma they may have experienced from neglect or by living in an abusive home, and we can better support the well-being of our local families. These foster kids will have a better chance to grow up to be productive, happy adults. Prevention is a powerful tool. Dave Roberts represents the Third District on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

RATE continued from page 1 “The structure was incredibly well-intentioned,” said Warren Ruis, public affairs manager with SDG&E. “It was designed to have large homes and big users pay more for energy, while smaller homes paid a subsidized rate because they were supposed to use less energy. Things didn’t actually work out as planned.” Rates for lower-use customers were essentially frozen for more than a decade, Ruis said, so the difference in the cost per kilowatt hour between the lowest and highest tiers has skyrocketed. “What this means is that a family of three or four on the coast who can crack their windows open are being subsidized by a family of five or six in Vista, the South Bay or East County who have to run their air conditioners as a matter of survival,” he said. “It’s a fairness issue we’re attempting to fix — all of California is attempting to fix — with

gone,” said Solana Beach City Manager David Ott in a recent interview. “Sand will provide a recreational opportunity for people because there will be beaches. It will also provide a soft solution to protecting those bluffs. That’s the goal of the project.” Ott explained the tentatively recommended plan is to replace 100 feet of sand every five years in Encinitas and 200 feet of sand

PLANT continued from page 2 The facility on the northern San Diego County coastline has been inoperative since January 2012, when a small, non-injury leak was discovered in one of the two reactors. The other reactor was shut down for maintenance at the time. Last year, Edison shelved plans to restart the reactors in favor of retiring the plant. The project cost in-

years. With the drought and available rebates, the Orange County-based company has seen an increase in business, said owner Shannon Beck. “We’ve never been busier,” said Beck, who noted the company has about 14 projects per day. “We’re up about 85 percent over the last year.” Many of Roberts’

rate reform.” SDG&E’s rate restructuring plan returns fairness to the system, Ruis said. Under the proposal, customers would pay a flat monthly fee for grid maintenance. In addition to that fee, the utility is looking at having two rate tiers that are only 20 percent apart. Now, the top tier costs more than double the rate of the bottom tier, Ruis said. The SDG&E plan would also shift customers gradually toward time-based electricity prices. “There are some strong inequalities and unfairness in the existing situation,” Councilman Terry Sinnott said. “Based on the legislative bill, there needs to be a fresh look at it.” Nevertheless, the Del Mar City Council decided it was too early to take a position on the utility company’s proposed rate structure. “I think the public is used to four tiers,” said Councilwoman Sherryl Parks. “I think it’s a shame every 10 years in Solana Beach. Encinitas has an initial placement volume of 480,000 cubic yards, and Solana Beach has an initial placement volume of 700,000 cubic yards — a total of nearly 1.2 million cubic yards of sand. After receiving unanimous approval from the California Coastal Commission the second time the project was presented to the state agency, final plans were submitted in March to the planning division of the Army Corps of Engineers.

to move away from those four tiers. They’re clearly a teaching tool, and people use them.” Supporters of solar power have argued that the flat fee and time-based electricity prices actually discourage photovoltaic systems. Councilman Don Mosier said the proposed rate structure fails to incentivize energy conservation and discourages solar installation. “I have some concerns about the proposed rate structure,” he said. “All the major utilities have similar plans. Even though San Diego is unique and SDG&E is probably the most forwardlooking of the utilities in the state, their plan doesn’t look that much different than SCE (Southern California Edison) or Pacific Gas & Electric. “I think there are some problems.” The Public Utilities Commission is continuing to hold hearings throughout the state. A decision on the proposals is not expected until sometime next year. The project is now headed to the civil works review board, hopefully in February, Ott said. If it receives the board’s support, the next and final step will be the chief’s report approval, which could take place in June 2015. After final approval, the project would enter the construction document phase. Initial sand placement could begin in 2017 at the earliest, said Ott, who estimated the project to cost about $60 million over 50 years.

cludes physical dismantlement of San Onofre Units 2 and 3 within 20 years, managing and storing the used nuclear fuel until it is accepted by the U.S. Department of Energy, and restoring the site for future use, subject to an easement agreement with the U.S. Navy, which owns the land. The decommissioning trust funds established by San Onofre’s owners currently total about $4.1 billion, according to Edison. Based on the updated cost

estimate, anticipated cost escalation and future trust fund earnings, SCE said it believes the San Onofre decommissioning is fully funded and no further customer contributions will be required at this time. Any unused funds will be returned to customers at the end of decommissioning. San Diego Gas & Electric owns 20 percent of the plant and received onefifth of its power when it was operating.

neighbors have already replaced their grass with artificial turf or drought-tolerant plants. About five years ago, Solana Beach residents Roger and Mary Jane Boyd replaced the grass in their roughly 1,500-square-foot front yard with native and drought-tolerant plants. The project cost about $1,000, but Roger designed the landscape plans and handled most of the labor. Now, the Boyds — who have lived in Solana Beach

for more than 30 years — are hoping to take advantage of the water district’s rebates to replace the grass in their 2,000-square-foot back yard. The couple are still deciding on whether to install artificial turf or drought-tolerant plants. “It’s the right thing to do for our future,” said Boyd, who has four children and nine grandchildren. “I’m a believer, and I work hard to try to convince other people to pay attention to our responsibility.”

DM Foundation, SD River Conservancy honor world explorer at private event Helen Thayer, a National Geographic recognized “Explorer of the Century,” was honored recently by two local nonprofits, the Del Mar Foundation and San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, at a private event on Sept. 15. County Supervisor Dave Roberts presented Thayer with a certificate of recognition on behalf of the County of San Diego at a luncheon held at the home of Rose Ann and Ira Sharp. Guests included donors and supporters of the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy’s “Birdwing” project, an open-air classroom that welcomed its first visitors in spring. Birdwing serves as a gathering place for visitors of all ages and abilities to learn about the abundant natural resources of the San Dieguito River watershed. The Del Mar Foundation supported the Birdwing project with a $20,000 grant. Thayer’s life of adventure and exploration pays tribute to the value of preserving the natural environment. As a motivational speaker, and through her nonprofit educational organization, Adventure Classroom, Thayer inspires people to embrace integrity, demonstrate courage, and assume responsibility for their actions. She is the author of numerous best-selling books, including “Polar Dreams,” “3 Among the Wolves,” and “Walking the Gobi.” The Del Mar Foundation promotes community cohesiveness, raises and grants funds, preserves open space, improves beaches and parklands, sponsors diverse cultural programs, and manages nearly $2 million in endowment funds to benefit the greater Del Mar community.

The San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy is dedicated to preserving, protecting and restoring natural and cultural resources within the 55-mile long San Dieguito watershed. Visit sdrvc.org.

“We’re not talking about private versus private issues here, and balancing someone’s view versus another; we’re talking about preservation of the entire community’s view,” said Ole Snyder, who said he drives by the view every day. “This is not something that should be negotiated or compromised.” Since the July council meeting, four of the five council members had opportunities to meet with

FAIR continued from page 1

fair is still in the planning stages. “This is going to be new territory that we’re developing,” said Fred Schenk, president of the 22nd DAA board of directors. “We’re excited about the opportunity. The details will be forthcoming.” Faulconer said 22nd DAA officials approached his office about a month ago to discuss the proposed theme for next year’s fair. He said the partnership offered an opportunity to promote Bal-

the architect, homeowner and neighbors, and review the project plans. Deputy Mayor Al Corti recused himself because Brian Church Architecture is working on his property. Agreeing with the neighbors, the council asked the architect to go back to the drawing board and drop the proposed structure so that it doesn’t exceed the height of the current home. “I think the design of the house, itself, is a wonderful design. I think it’s very well located,” said Councilman Terry Sinnott. “But I do also find that there is significant public coastal

view blockage to existing views. It also detracts from the natural beauty of the coastal area.” “The applicant argues that there is no alternative to the proposed design that would preserve that ocean view,” Councilman Mosier added. “I reject that argument. There are alternatives. I’m not going to redesign the project for them, but there are alternatives that would preserve that ocean view.” The revised plans will be brought before the council.

boa Park and a slate of activities being planned for the centennial of the Panama-California Exposition. “We’re proud of Balboa Park, we’re proud of the centennial. This is a great match with the fair,” Faulconer said. “They want to help,” Faulconer said of the 22nd DAA. “They want to make it a special event for the centennial.” Faulconer said the city will be releasing a schedule of events to celebrate the 2015 centennial in October. In March, a committee charged with planning the centennial celebration dis-

banded after failing to get the effort off the ground. Newly elected Mayor Faulconer pledged a fresh start in planning centennial events. The 2015 edition of the San Diego County Fair will open on a Friday afternoon, extending the fair’s run by a half-day from the 24 days it operated this year. Officials said Wednesday they will be announcing additional details about the partnership between the city and the 22nd DAA in the coming months.

Torrey Pines Senior Girls Cross Country Team wins Invitational Championship Falcon Flag squad is undefeated The Torrey Pines Falcons Flag team is off to a 3-0 start after recently routing Murrieta 31-0. This was a true team effort, with touchdowns being scored by Cody Shen, Zachary Wilsey, Jace Ravad, Josh Saier and Nick Aldridge. The team has been dominant thus far, outscoring its opponents by a combined 73-14. Leading the way are Zachary, with five touchdowns, and Jace, with three touchdowns. “The real secret to our success is our blocking and flag pulling,” said coach Ward Wilsey. “We’ve got a team full of kids who hustle, are disciplined, are tough as nails, and are always willing to do the little things it takes to win games.” The Falcons also defeated the Oceanside Pirates in a game played Sept. 20.

The Torrey Pines High School Senior Girls Cross Country Team won the Division 1 championship at the 34th Annual Mt. Carmel Invitational on Sept. 20. The race, run on the famed Morley Field cross country course in Balboa Park, included 135 runners from teams across Southern California. Rather than using a traditional varsity and junior varsity format, the Mt. Carmel Invitational uses a “battle of the classes” race format that pits seniors against seniors, juniors against juniors, etc. Winning the team championship requires a team to put five runners across the finish line with the best combined results. The Torrey Pines seniors — coming off of their varsity championship at the Bronco Round-Up Invitational race the week before — showed both strength and depth as they raced the challenging 2.75 mile Balboa Park course against top regional competition.

BY WALTER BAYS Torrey Pines freshman Falcons extended their winning streak to 4-0 with a 35-14 win over the Westview Wolverines. Both teams entered the game undefeated, Torrey Pines having beaten Sweetwater 41-0, Mission Hills 56-21, and Cathedral Catholic 10-0. Westview had bested Rancho Buena Vista 28-20, and Del Norte 28-7. The Wolverines led 8-7 at the end of a first half in which the Falcons turned the ball over on downs once, fumbled, and were intercepted twice, while Westview turned over on downs twice. For such a defensive struggle, there were plenty of fireworks, including a touchdown pass by Wolverine #1 Beau Nelson to #44 Joe Bennett and a 61 yard touchdown run by Falcon #34 Gaston Schenk. Zach Friedland #42 thought he had put the Falcons’ first points on the board when he returned a kickoff 75 yards into the end zone, but a penalty brought it back. Not to be denied, Friedland took the opening kickoff of the second half back 75 yards and this time the points stayed up, Falcons 14-8. Westview surged back with a long drive capped with a 47-yard touchdown pass to Bennett to tie the game. The

Falcons #11 Sully O’Brien struck back quickly with a 33-yard pass reception and a 35yard run to put Torrey Pines up 21-14. Westview stopped Torrey Pines next drive with an interception by #2 Tyler Slaton, but Friedland took it right back with an interception of his own on the Falcons’ own 43, and on the next offensive series he took the handoff all the way to make it 28-14 as the third quarter ended. Short on time deep at their own 13, the Wolverines tried to go to the air where they had success earlier, but Falcon #22 Beau Morgans denied them with back-to-back interceptions on Westview’s next two possessions. One turnover was converted to points with a run by #24 Matthew Goena to put the Falcons on top, 3514. The final drama of the game came after a Westview punt pinned Torrey Pines on its own 4-yard line. An 11-yard run by #16 Cole Mihalinec picked up a first down that allowed the Falcons to run out the clock to seal their victory. On Sept. 25, Westview faces San Marcos on the road while Torrey Pines plays Poway at home.

This year the Community Resource Center expects to serve approximately 1,500 families at its 32nd annual Holiday Baskets event. While this event serves over 3,000 children in need, there are typically only 300 bicycles available for distribution for these youngsters. To increase bicycle donations from the public, the El Camino Bike Shop, at 121 N. El Camino Real, is collecting gently used bike(s) between now and Nov. 30. As part of this promotion, individuals who donate a bicycle receive a $25 gift card. “Our goal is to provide an additional 100 bikes this year to Holiday Baskets,” said Will Schellenger, owner of El Camino Bike Shop. “Bring your used bike by and we will get it to CRC.” Donated used bicycles are refurbished by local volunteers and then distributed on Dec. 19, 20, 21 to youth enrolled in Holiday Baskets. More than 2,000 local volunteers and 200 groups and organizations help to collect and sort food, blankets, outerwear, toys, bicycles, baby items, and much more for the Holiday Baskets program. The program is a free shopping experience in a warehouse-like setting and is the largest distribution of its kind in the county. “We could not continue our Holiday Baskets program without the help of such generous organizations like the El Camino Bike Shop. The Community Resource Center owes a great debt of gratitude to El Camino Bike Shop for stepping forward to help provide more bikes to our families in need for the upcoming holiday season,” said Paul Thompson, CEO of CRC.

Del Mar philanthropist strives to make the rewards of giving also creative and innovative Jim Benedict, a Del Mar resident and an active volunteer, created Innovative Giving (www.innovativegiving.us) to help individuals better enjoy their philanthropic giving. Benedict spent his career in marketing and advertising and wanted to combine that experience by bringing creativity to giving. “Not just by writing a check, but creating greater meaning to the gifting,” he said. “Giving is very rewarding in itself, and by implementing some extra steps in creative giving, it can be even more gratifying.” Benedict spent over 20 years on the Ecke Family YMCA, and has served on numerous other community boards over his career. Benedict is currently on the City of Del Mar finance committee, and he is a board member of the R.C. Baker Foundation and UCSD Triton’s Athletic Board of Advisors. Honors Benedict has received include the Red Triangle Award and Humanitarian of the Year award, and he was honored by the San Diego County Metro YMCA with the Golden Triangle award – the highest award for service in the county. Married for 24 years to Tina, he has two children: Kelly, a graduate of Chapman University and Eric, a graduate of NYU. Both attended Santa Fe Christian High School in Solana Beach. What brought you to Del Mar? Fresh out of college, I moved back from Seattle to open a wine and cheese store in Del Mar called the Cork & Cheddar. I ran it for two years and I got to know everyone in town (who drank wine!) Why be creative in giving instead of just writing a check? For many reasons. The gift may be more impactful and memorable. The charity

Jim Benedict may get increased publicity which they always need. The personal satisfaction can and will significantly increase. Conceivably involving other organizations may also increase the gifting value as an added benefit. Can you give an example? The Community Resource Center, in Encinitas, presents their Holiday Baskets event every December at the fairgrounds where they serve over 1,600 less fortunate North County families. They give out about 300 bikes to very happy recipients, but have over 1,300 requests each year. I approached a foundation and asked them to fund an additional 100 bikes as a donation to the CRC. They teamed up with a local bike shop to help. This became a win – win – win for CRC, the foundation, and the bike shop. CRC will get their additional bikes and a great deal of much needed publicity; the foundation will be proud of this innovative donation, and the bike shop will enjoy the obvious benefits of giving within their community. Is vetting really that difficult? Difficult, maybe not, but critical – yes. You do not want to “invest” your hard-earned philanthropic funds without fully understanding the mission and See PHILANTHROPIST, page B21

BY KAREN BILLING When Chase Mohseni first met Ben Reed he was “Mr. Reed,” the actor father of one of his 7-year-old classmates at La Jolla Country Day School. Nineteen years later, the pair have teamed up to make the feature film “Starcrossed,” written and directed by Mohseni. Reed, a Carmel Valley resident, acted in and served as producer for the movie that will premiere at 4 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28, at the San Diego Film Festival at Reading Cinemas Gaslamp 15 (701 5th Ave, San Diego). “Starcrossed” is about a young writer who encounters a mysterious woman and rewrites his future over the course of one memorable night. The film also features actors Mischa Barton, up-and-comer Grant Harvey and Eric Roberts. Although Reed has acted in film and television roles for 25 years, this is his first time as a producer. Reed said that working alongside an energetic young first-timer like Mohseni was a great experience, and he especially enjoyed the creativity involved in his role as producer, mixing together all the perfect ingredients to craft a beautiful product. “This is the most fun I’ve had on a film in over 20 years,” said Reed, 49. “It was invigorating and inspiring. I feel like it’s helped my acting, it’s helped everything.” Originally from Oklahoma, Reed is an athlete who went on to play quarterback at West Virginia University. After an injury derailed any hopes for a professional football career, he moved to Los Angeles two weeks after graduation to pursue his passion for acting. He attended the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in Pasadena and was

He has worked steadily throughout the years, including guest spots on “Seinfeld,” traveling to New Zealand to play Thor on the television show “Hercules: The Legendary Journeys,” and appearances on “NCIS,” “CSI” and “House.” He most recently worked on “American Snip-

er,” a Clint Eastwood film starring Bradley Cooper. Reed plays Cooper’s father in flashbacks. Reed has lived in Carmel Valley for 17 years, choosing to commute to Los Angeles for work and stay in San Diego to raise his family. A father of five, even though he sometimes spends up to four days a week in LA auditioning or filming, he still makes it a priority to coach his son’s Little League team or watch his daughter play

volleyball. “It’s like going from one world to another,” Reed said. “When I’m up there, I’m pretending to be a lawyer or a cop; I get to escape … It’s something new every day. There’s no mundane.” Mohseni has a master’s degree in film from Loyola Marymount University School of Film and Television. According to Reed, he “eats, sleeps and drinks film.” He approached “Mr. Reed” about reading his script last year and after reading “Starcrossed” and tossing around some ideas, Reed believed they could make this movie and that it could be good. Casting was the first task. Reed had Barton in mind because of the English roots of both the character and the actress. Once Barton had “loved” the script and signed on, they auditioned a ton of young male leads in LA, trying to find the right fit and the right chemistry. Reed said that when Harvey and Barton were in a room together it was instantly “electric,” and they knew they had found their leads. Reed said he thinks the movie is the best performance Barton has ever done, and he believes that Harvey, best known for a role on the TV show “The Secret Life of the American Teenager,” is going to be a big star. Part of what makes their performances so good are Mohseni’s words, he said. “What he wrote is so rich and so deep,” he said of the script, which he called darkly romantic, following two lost souls who make a connection over a matter of hours.

Upcoming performance at CCA blends drumming, dance

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY JOE TASH Those who attend a drum and dance performance on Friday, Oct. 3, at Canyon Crest Academy will experience a fusion of two art forms that local audiences rarely, if ever, get to see. “It’s completely unique. I’ve been performing and working in San Diego for 25 years, and I’ve never see anything like this,” said Faith Jensen-Ismay, artistic director of the Mojalet Dance Collective. “It’s an explosion of the arts. You get it all. It really magnifies the production, makes it bigger than life,” said Del Mar resident Alyssa Kinnear, who has been dancing with Mojalet for 2-1/2 years. The performance, which begins at 7:30 p.m., combines the drumming and percussion talents of Rhythm Talk, a trio from Olten, Switzerland, with the dancers of Mojalet, who live in North County. Jensen-Ismay’s dance collective has been performing with the Swiss group for about 10 years, and the 2014 tour

Faith Jensen-Ismay, artistic director of the Mojalet Dance Collective, looks on as two of the company’s dancers rehearse one of their routines, as members of Rhythm Talk play drums and percussion. The rehearsal took place at the studio in Jensen-Ismay’s Poway home. marks the trio’s third visit to the United States. Along with the show at Canyon Crest, additional performances are scheduled at the Lyceum Theater in downtown San Diego. The dancers and drummers will also put on workshops at San Diego State University and local high schools. “It’s a great honor,” said drummer Mattias Baumann. “For us, it’s inspiring,” said percussionist and composer Noby Lehmann.

Rhythm Talk arose from a drum school in Olten, and plays throughout Europe. They celebrated their 20th anniversary in 2010. The group’s influences include jazz, rock, funk, samba, Indian and African rhythms. On a recent evening, the dancers and musicians gathered at Jensen-Ismay’s Poway home, where an upstairs room has been converted to a dance studio, to rehearse for their upcoming shows. Even with the windows closed, Jensen-Ismay was concerned

the thumping, crashing drums would disturb her neighbors. As she provided direction and coaching, the dancers practiced their routines, sometimes using large sail-shaped panels as props. The show that the two groups will perform on Oct. 3 is called “Vital Emotions,” and includes a mix of dance styles set to original musical compositions. “It’s a collaboration of live music and dance, visual, athletic, passionate, and a little bit edgy,” said Jensen-Ismay. “Percussion is an understatement. There are so many beautiful instruments from around the world with so many different sounds,” she said. Kinnear, who works as a physical therapist, attends several dance classes and rehearsals each week. “This is my night gig,” she said of her work with Mojalet. She first met Rhythm Talk two years ago, during a previous joint performance. “I’m super-excited to have them back. As a dancer, live music is fantastic,” she said. Dancers can actually feel the vibration of the drums through the floor boards as they perform, which intensifies the experience and unifies the efforts of the musicians and dancers, Kinnear said. Because of a visa glitch, one member of the percussion group, Christopher Blattner, was held up in Switzerland. Lehmann said they hope their fellow band member can obtain his visa and make it to San Diego in time for next week’s shows. In the meantime, Baumann, a former student from the drum school, will fill in on drums. Tickets for the Oct. 3 performance at Canyon Crest Academy are $20 for adults and $15 for students and seniors. They can be purchased at mojalet.com, or by calling 858-243-1402. Samples of Rhythm Talk’s music can be found at the group’s web site, rhythmtalk.ch.

Grace & Salt’s custom-made furniture hopes to inspire conversations, connections •Fundraising efforts will support adoption goal in Africa BY KAREN BILLING A lot of labor and a lot of love have gone into Keary and Justin Cheney’s custom-made furniture business, Grace & Salt. The newest artisans in Flower Hill’s Row Collective, the husband-and-wife team didn’t want to be just another furniture company — they wanted to have a heart and a message. “Life happens around the table,” Keary said, recalling joyful times of her childhood, with her family gathered around the table, or engaging in meaningful conversations with her husband. “The dining table is a sanctuary, a place where you share life and feel connected with each other.” More than just furniture, they hope to bring connection back into customers’ homes, something they feel has become a little lost in today’s plugged-in, fast-paced lifestyle. “We want to create that space. We want those good conversations around the table, because that’s where the memories happen,” Justin said. The name of their shop even borrows from a Bible verse from Colossians: “Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone.” Sleek and modern Grace & Salt tables are made of pecan wood or thick reclaimed wood on hairpin legs, and each of the tabletops’ finishes has its own character. The reclaimed lumber is sourced from Temecula, and the hardwoods and exotic woods come from a lumberyard in San Marcos. A welder in Escondido does all their custom leg work. Justin said he wanted their shop to be more fun than just picking a table from a photo lineup — he loved the idea of customers building their own tables. Customers create their own tables, from the wood to the edge finishes, choosing what size they would like, opting for coffee tables, dining tables, desks or end tables. Turn-around time is typically one to two weeks. While they will ship lighter pieces, the heavier pieces are local pick-up only. The pair actually prefer when people come into the shop to pick up their furniture — they love to see who the pieces end up with.

Keary and Justin Cheney

Grace & Salt also features some touches of Africa.

Justin and Keary have been married for 4 1/2 years after meeting at San Diego Christian College, secretly chatting on their computers in the back of government class. Justin used to be a police officer and Keary worked as a wedding photographer. Keary didn’t find out about Justin’s creativity and his gift for furniture-making until they moved into a bigger place and had room for him to build some pieces for their home. Keary said it was one of those “How did I not know this about you?” moments. Justin said it wasn’t a lack of knowing he had the talent, he just didn’t have the right tools. Every time he tried to tackle a project, the cost would triple because he didn’t

own the right tools to complete it. Over the years, he has now collected all the tools required to finish any job. “He’s so crafty and can build anything,” said Keary, noting that his creativity, when paired with his meticulous nature, can produce some beautiful things. Grace & Salt shares a space in Flower Hill’s Row Collective with Rais Case and Mr. B’s Luminaries. Grace & Salt’s furniture fits in perfectly among the textiles and the calming scent of artisan candles. The Cheneys were familiar with the Row Collective, having built all of the shelving and furniture in Rais Case and Mr. B’s previous location. “I feel like all three brands have meshed together very well,” Keary said.

Superstar violinist Midori opens Industry panels on a variety of topics to be held at San Diego Film Festival 2014-15 UCSD concert season BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT On Oct. 1, UCSD’s fall concert season will be off to a fine start with superstar violinist Midori performing a selection of “new music” pieces in a recital with her frequent collaborator, pianist Özgür Aydina. Born in Osaka, Japan, in 1971, Midori began playing the violin at age 3, gave her first public performance at 6, and made her U.S. concert debut at 11 with conductor Zubin Mehta and the New York Philharmonic. Even as a child, she was known for her ability to communicate the underlying emotional quality of every piece of music she played. Early on, when asked how she was able to put so much expression into a Mozart piece she had just performed, she answered: “I think of a dear, dead dog.” These days, Midori, now in her 32nd year of performing, has many more things to think about. Besides touring extensively worldwide, she is a Distinguished Professor of Music at the University of Southern California, has a guest professorship at Japan’s Soai University, and spends a great deal of time bringing music to underserved populations, with organizations like “Midori & Friends,” a nonprofit she founded at age 20. “It started with a simple idea: to bring music to children,” she wrote on her website. “In the 1980s and early ’90s there was a great deal of discussion concerning federal budget cuts to public educa-

Violinist Midori and pianist Özgür Aydina come to UCSD’s Prebys Hall on Oct. 1. Photo by Angela Jimenez tion and their effects on the availability of the arts and music programs to children in the schools. My reaction was to become actively involved — hands on — in addressing the issue.” She also gives performances and workshops in schools, hospitals and institutions around the world and provides learning opportunities for young artists. Besides all this, she does a fair bit of recording, including, this year, a selection of violin and piano sonatas with Özgür Aydina that was nominated for an International Classical Music Award. At UCSD, she and Aydina will present pieces written over the past three decades by six different composers, including the late Iannis Xenakis and Alfred Schnittke, as well as the very much alive John Adams, better known for his operatic works, like “Nixon in China,” which will be coming to San Diego Opera next spring. Also on the program are pieces by Finnish composer Kaija Saariaho, Argentina-born, New York-based Mario Davidovsky, and Stephen Hartke, a New Jersey native who teaches, as Midori does, at USC’s Thornton School of Music. The recital will be the first of this season’s Wednesdays @ 7, a series that offers new and experimental music performed by faculty and visiting artists. For more about upcoming concerts, visit musicweb.ucsd.edu/concerts. Midori and Özgür Aydina will perform at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 1, at Conrad Prebys Concert Hall, UCSD. Tickets are $15.50; call 858-534-3448 or visit musicweb.ucsd.edu/concerts.

BY JEANNE FERRIS If you haven’t purchased your passes for the San Diego Film Festival yet, you can still make your screening choices online. However, a drama, “The Imitation Game,” starring Benedict Cumberbatch and Keira Knightley, is sold out. So make your film selections quickly. Also available for passholders with a limited capacity for attendance: industry panels. These panels offer the latest trends, behind-the-camera information and the nuts and bolts education of the television and film industry. The opening panel on Friday, Sept. 26, is about “TV and Film Development” and will be moderated by Festival chairman Dale Strack. Key points to be covered are “Learn the Art of Development and How to Pitch.” Less than 1 percent of film and television writers successfully sell their ideas to studio executives. “The featured panelist is Mark Cartier, a development executive,” said Stephanie Inscoe, SDFF producer. “Cartier is a veteran in the development, packaging and creative management of treatments and scripts. He will be providing the tools needed to create, develop and sell ideas, along with other scheduled professionals.” Three film industry panels are scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 27. The first is the Crowdfunding Panel, featuring film producer Stuart Archer. Archer will speak on the success of raising money and mitigating risk. He will address his unusual and unorthodox approach with a very different strategy of raising almost $150,000 to get his film, “#Stuck,” into movie theaters this fall. He is now working on his next film. “The critics panel will be featuring Ben Lyons, a correspondent of Extra and ESPN,” said Inscoe. “And Jeffrey Lyons, a renowned N.Y. film critic of ‘The Lyons Den,’ and Scott Mantz of Access Hollywood.” These film critics and entertainment reporters will dis-

cuss their views on recent changes and developments in film criticism styles and platforms, the evolving place of film journalism, and the role that critics can play in shaping a film’s exposure and marketability. Ben Lyons is moderating the final panel with actors Josh Duhamel, Dennis Haysbert, Stelio Savante, and Beau Bridges, whose films are playing at the Festival. “This is an excellent opportunity for filmmakers, actors and film enthusiasts alike to hear professionals speak up close and personal regarding films and how to make them,” said Strack.

CV Middle School Principal takes on ALS Ice Bucket Challenge Carmel Valley Middle School Principal Cara Dolnik was recently given the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge by Adam Camacho, former assistant principal at Carmel Valley Middle School and now principal at Earl Warren Middle School. ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), often called Lou Gehrig’s Disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. It leads to progressive muscle weakness that causes difficulty in speaking, swallowing and breathing, and, ultimately, death. The ALS Ice Bucket Challenge involves pouring a bucket of ice water on someone’s head to promote awareness of the disease ALS and encourage donations for research.

(TLYPJHU>LZ[ )HUR 0U ;OL :WV[SPNO[ MVY 9V[HY` ,[OPJZ (^HYKZ The Rotary Club of Del Mar is pioneering a new program, the “4-Way Ethics in Business Awards”, to recognize and promote the businesses that share the same values that Rotarians uphold for honest, professional and moral service. Each week, Del Mar Rotarians gather for lunch and recite their “Four Way Test” which includes the questions: Is it the truth? Is it fair to all concerned? Will it build goodwill and better friendships? Will it be beneﬁcial for all concerned? But ﬁnding a business that actually considered these types of questions in their daily decision making processes and practices can often seem rare. Each month the Del Mar Rotary Club will select one business to spotlight as part of the Ethics in Business Awards to acknowledge the good work of business applicants such as AmericanWest Bank.

“Our hardworking, talented team delivers customized banking solutions to businesses, individuals and families—and all with the community banking spirit our clients have come to expect,” said AmericanWest Bank CEO Scott Kisting. Kisting shared one example of this spirit is ensuring their community involvement activities remain a vital element of the company’s personality. AmericanWest makes ﬁnancial donations to many deserving non-proﬁts, although Kisting says he’s most proud of the hundreds of employees who choose to volunteer thousands of hours each year with their favorite charities. To demonstrate its commitment, the bank offers every employee paid time off to volunteer during work hours with the causes and then rewards teams who use all of their hours. “Rightfully so, we are judged by our actions and we look forward to continuing to earn the trust and exceeding the service expectations of our clients and the community,” Kisting said. The Del Mar Rotary club wants to thank AmericaWest Bank for their participation and the awards program sponsors, Steigerwald-Dougherty Inc. and the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito, for their involvement, support and time to help promote ethical business in our community. The Del Mar Rotary’s Ethics in Business Award ceremony will be held on October 30 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

6 Common Myths about Varicose Veins Varicose and spider veins are extremely common, affecting up to 50% of women and 30% of men. Unfortunately, however, most people are not properly educated about the causes, treatments and potential dangers of chronic venous disease. Here are six of the most common misconceptions about varicose veins. Myth 1: Varicose or spider veins will always re-occur, even after being treated. This is a very common myth and stems from

prior inadequate care. In fact, poor treatment methods in the past have actually caused the recurrence of varicose veins. Now, however, with the birth of Board Certification and improving technology, veins successfully treated by a qualified physician will see a recurrence rate of less than 5-10%. Myth 2: Women should wait until they are finished with all pregnancies before treating varicose and spider veins. Again, this myth comes from insufficient treatment in the past. New treatments, however, are safe, painless, and more than 98% of the time, lead to permanent resolution. It is ideal if obstetric physicians send their patients for venous insufficiency evaluation prior to pregnancy. This could prevent some of the pain and discomfort that often comes with varicose veins during pregnancy. Myth 3: Since the treatment of varicose veins is purely cosmetic, if there isn’t any pain then there is no reason, other than looks, to seek treatment. Not only is this untrue, but the neglect of

varicose veins can be very dangerous to the patient’s health. Due to its insidious nature, chronic venous hypertension is progressively destructive and should be treated as soon as possible to prevent further pain and damage. Myth 4: Since the repair of varicose veins is considered cosmetic, insurance does not cover the treatment. While the treatment of spider issues is often considered cosmetic, the treatment of varicose veins is not a cosmetic issue, and is almost always covered by insurance. In fact, the initial diagnostic evaluation for venous disease is also covered at least 90% of the time. Similar to dental cavities, the earlier venous hypertension is treated, the more successful it is and therefore, the more cost effective it is for insurance companies. Myth 5: “Vein-stripping” is the best way to treat varicose veins. This out-dated treatment is invasive, requires anesthesia, and not only works less than half the time, but often makes matters worse. Ultrasound-foam sclerotherapy is over 98%

effective. It is also virtually painless, carries little to no side effects, and is done in an out-patient setting where the patient is able to drive away and continue with their daily life. Myth 6: Varicose veins are a sign of aging and only occur in older adults. This myth is generally perpetuated because in older adults the disease is more advanced and has had longer to make its symptoms known. But the reality is that the primary cause of the disease is hereditary. In fact, this makes up 80% of cases. It is not uncommon to ﬁnd varicose veins in young adults and teenagers. At the San Diego Vein Institute, we take pride in making sure each patient is treated with the care and attention they deserve. That is why every aspect of treatment at SDVI is always performed by a trained doctor, specializing in venous disease. If you want to discuss vein treatment further or want to make an appointment, please contact us at 760-9449263 or visit us at www.sdveininstitute.com.

FILM

continued from page B1

The film was shot over 16 days at the end of October 2013. Post-production work started in January, the beginning of a long march until just this week when all the details on the final cut were finished. “I had no idea how lengthy the post-production process would be,” Reed said. The work was hard, but fun and creative in many ways, from managing the personalities of all the different “animals” who were brought into the tapestry of the film, the editing and sound process of hiring composers, sifting through what’s best for the movie and who really “gets” the script, proofreading the credits for typos, and getting a final movie poster done. A lot of business was involved, too, negotiating deals and raising funds. “Chase did a wonderful job with his vision and sticking to it. He stayed on track and I really commend him for that,” said Reed. The next step will be to send the film out to distributors and try to make the best deal to get their film out there. Reed said they

will look domestically and internationally and at options such as HBO or Showtime, Netflix or Redbox. “It’s an amazing time for filmmakers because there’s so many different avenues,” Reed said. “It’s very exciting.” Reed said he and Mohseni are honored to have been accepted into the San Diego Film Festival, one of just over 100 movies selected out of about 3,000 submissions. The pair plan to hit the festival together and experience it all. The festival will be a first for director/writer and actor/producer alike. The 13th annual festival runs Sept. 24-28 with Reese Witherspoon’s “Wild” on opening night and Hilary Swank’s “You’re Not You” as the closing film. The festival will also feature a Night of Stars on Sept. 25, honoring Alan Arkin, Beau Bridges, Saginaw Grant, Michelle Monaghan and Alison Pill. Panels will include actors whose films are screening at the festival, including Josh Duhamel, Dennis Haysbert, Tom Berenger and Stelio Savante. Films are screened at Reading Cinemas and Arclight Theater in La Jolla. Visit sdfilmfest.com.

PHILANTHROPIST

As the wait times have extended for the adoption process, the Cheneys have decided to “just go.” In 2015, they plan to move to Uganda for three years to help teach people a variety of trades that can help lead to sustainable jobs and income for their families. As Keary said, many Ugandans are forced to give up their children to the babies homes in the hopes they will be given a life that as parents they are unable to provide. If the Cheneys are able to help create jobs and income, they can keep more children with their families, Keary said. “I didn’t want to affect the life of just one child,” Justin said. “We wanted to go affect change on a grander scale.” Added Keary, “We’re excited to be a part of orphan care in a big way. It’s what our hearts really long for.” The Cheneys have already established a good relationship with the babies home they plan to adopt from, and plan to travel to the country in January to figure out some logistics of what their life will be like there. They will have to foster a child in Uganda for three years until they can

immigrate back to the U.S. The couple said if they found another child who would be a good fit for their family, they would be willing to extend their stay in Africa. All money raised through their fundraising prints and T-shirts of Africa will go toward the adoption and their move. And anyone who shops in Grace & Salt is really helping to support their larger mission. As Keary said, when they are in Africa, they will be relying on the community they will have hopefully built back home in San Diego. “Knowing we have that support makes it so much easier; it makes us feel loved,” Keary said. In the year before the move, Grace & Salt will continue crafting tables and building conversations. “We hope to learn more things, build more things and continue to raise awareness for orphan care,” Justin said. They’ve got all the tools they need. The store is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday, and from noon-5 p.m. Sundays. To view furniture, visit graceandsalt.net.

use of funds. Paying close attention to the leadership of the foundation or organization is also very important. Passion starts at the top. Gaining a comfort zone for any foundation starts with proper vetting. How do you really select a foundation or cause to give to? This is a personal choice. What is your passion? What is your family background regarding giving or particular issues? You may want to focus on a particular gifting category – health, military, the less fortunate, educational, etc. That’s when the vetting begins, for there are many more options in each category than gifting may allow. What do you like best about your work? Exceeding expectations. By using creativity and imagination, your gift can grow into a much more memorable experience. The satisfaction of giving has just grown exponentially. Who or what inspires you? Two people greatly influenced my adult life – Paul Ecke, Jr., whom I got to be-

“We’re not competing, we’re just three stores that complement each other,” Justin said. As shoppers will quickly notice, there are many hints of Africa in Grace & Salt — they sell African prints and T-shirts, and wood-burned maps of the country. And around Keary’s neck gleams a necklace with the outline of the continent. The African touch relates to the fact that the Cheneys have started the process of adopting a Ugandan child. The couple had been in Uganda in March 2013 for three weeks doing service work and photography, hoping to inspire awareness. “We saw really big needs,” Keary said of their work at a babies home, the term used for orphanages. Adoption had always been something special to both of them — Justin has four nieces and nephews who were adopted, three from Ethiopia and one domestically. After experiencing what they did at a Uganda babies home, the couple had an intense desire to show love and be a family to an orphan. They started the serious (and costly) process of adoption in fall 2013.

They were my mentors and great friends. They both had a passion for living life to its fullest. Miss them both If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. Would love to ask them how they would like our constitution interpreted today. Jesus Christ and Mickey Mantle. I would like them to sit next to each other and swap stories. Robin Williams to really mess with George and Tom’s minds. Elvis Presley if he sings “hound dog” and, of course, my wife and myself. What is your favorite movie and favorite travel destination? Call me old fashioned but I love the Sound of Music. My favorite travel location is the next place I go. But if you nail me down – anywhere in Italy, anywhere. What is your motto or philosophy of life? If you can’t have fun doing it – don’t do it.

Culinary Camouflage for Kids The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN One of the mammoth struggles of parenthood has been (and still is) to get kids to eat their veggies. Moms and dads have been inventing games, devising deceptions and striking deals to accomplish this goal. Now, Jeff Dunn, former Coca-Cola executive, presently carrot king of Bolthouse Farms, has launched a revolutionary ad campaign using junk food marketing tactics to reposition fruits and vegetables as an awesome kid-friendly treat. Taking a page out of Dunnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book, this parent has

been successfully transforming the gross vitamin-laden monsters into gleefully accepted snacks. The Name Game Take a cue from the merchandisers of Crayola crayons, and create fun and funky names for various fruits and vegetables like wild blue yonder blueberries, vivid violet plums, brink pink watermelon balls or football field green beans. Thanks also to horticulturalists for using such junk food monikers as cotton candy grapes, sugar snap peas, donut peaches and chocolate peppers. Brain Freeze Freezing certain fruits like bananas, grapes, assorted berries, mango and peach slices gives the illusion of munching on ice cream or other smooth and dreamy forms of frozen bliss. Impale the fruits with Popsicle sticks and the mirage just got sweeter. Dip-a-Dee-Doo-Dah Kids love to dip and play with their food. Whip up both sweet and savory fondues by melting antioxidant rich dark chocolate or

organic cheeses to accompany divine dippers, everything from dried apricots, bananas, figs and strawberries to steamed broccoli and cauliflower florets, fingerling potatoes and asparagus spears. Sticks and Stones Convert celery and carrot sticks, jicama and cucumber strips, along with slices of assorted stone fruits (peaches, nectarines, plums, pluots) and other phytonutrient powerhouses into sassy snacks. Whip up assorted ethnic spice blends to imitate potato and corn chip seasonings. Try savory Southwest (chili powder, cilantro, cumin, garlic, Mexican oregano and crushed chipotles), a spicy Asian blend (Chinese 5-spice powder, lemon peel, garlic and pepper flakes), zippy Italian (basil, oregano, marjoram, thyme, parsley, anise and fennel) or a dessert delicious Irish concoction of cinnamon, allspice, ginger, mace and cardamom, and sprinkle away. Liquid Salads Gazpacho has many regional versions that seam-

lessly sneak a treasure trove of antioxidant rich fruits and veggies into a smooth, refreshing â&#x20AC;&#x153;soup.â&#x20AC;? The red version is chock full of lycopene-rich tomatoes, a dose of Vitamin C in sweet peppers, and hydrating cucumbers. Other chilled offerings include watermelon basil, carrot ginger, strawberry mint, sweet corn chowder, and sweet peach with mascarpone cheese. Hamburger Hocus-Pocus Whether beef burgers, lamb, turkey, chicken or salmon make sure to pack in plenty of immune-boosting mushrooms from oyster and crimini to shiitake and Portobello, along with red and yellow peppers and sweet onions. Go top heavy with an assortment of sprouts, chutneys, relishes, slaws, pickles and roasted tomatoes. Tasty Trompe Lâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;oeil â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trick the eyesâ&#x20AC;? with such culinary illusions as poodles constructed from broccoli and cauliflower florets, â&#x20AC;?cherries jubileeâ&#x20AC;? made with mashed potatoes and balsamic glazed grape tomatoes, creative watermelon carvings of dinosaurs, tortoises and owls, or veggie

pizzas creating faces using such accessories as olive eyes, a button mushroom nose, broccoli hair and red pepper lips. Soda Substitutions Concoct your own organic sodas with a splash of pomegranate, cranberry or grape juices along with a drizzle of amber honey into a cool glass of sparkling mineral water over a spoonful of crushed ice.

Kid-Magnet Sweet Potato Fries Ingredients 1 large sweet potato 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil Sea salt, cayenne pepper, cracked black pepper, paprika, ginger powder and turmeric to taste Method: Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit. Peel sweet potato and cut into uniform slices about Â˝- to Âž-inches thick. In a large mixing bowl combine oil and spices. Toss sweet potato slices into the bowl until they are evenly coated. Spread on a cookie sheet so the slices do not overlap. Bake for 15 minutes, then turn with a spatula. Bake for another 10 minutes until crispy and golden. Serve with home-

Senior Resource Group receives CARF’s first accreditation for Independent Living Community •La Vida Del Mar earns coveted achievement in new category La Vida Del Mar, an independent- and assisted-living community, owned and operated by Senior Resource Group (SRG), has earned the nation’s first accreditation in independent living from the Commission on Accreditation of Rehabilitation Facilities (CARF). Already accredited by CARF for its assisted living environment, La Vida Del Mar is the first independent living community in the United States to receive accreditation from CARF, an in- La Vida Del Mar is the first independent-living ternational, nonprofit orgacommunity in the U.S. to be accredited by CARF. nization. CARF accredits health and human services providers in an effort to promote and ensure the quality of care and services provided. The official Independent Living (IL) Standards became effective in July and were applied during a recent CARF survey at La Vida Del Mar, located between the villages of Del Mar and Rancho Santa Fe, in scenic North San Diego County’s Solana Beach. SRG and La Vida Del Mar demonstrated comprehensive conformance to approximately 1,000 standards of excellence established by CARF in order to achieve accreditation. Those standards, set forth by the highly-respected and independent CARF organization, are specific to independent living, assisted living or memory care models and measure the effectiveness of management and communication, programs and activities, and interaction with outside agencies regarding additional services for residents. CARF officials commended La Vida Del Mar on its dedication to improving the overall quality of life of its residents while maintaining the highest standards of excellence in service, personnel and documentation practices. Kayda Johnson, SRG’s chief operating officer, said accreditation puts families and residents at ease, while at the same time, recognizes superior care. “Most people would not go to a hospital that isn’t accredited or send children to colleges that aren’t accredited; thus moving into a community that is accredited certainly affords greater peace of mind that care and services have undergone intense scrutiny by an outside, third party,” Johnson said. She added that company officials take great pride in receiving CARF accreditation overall, and hold in high regard the exclusive Independent Living accreditation. The evaluation process is voluntary, but given the stringent expectations that need to be met to achieve accreditation, it is a valued benefit for residents and the family of residents. In 2004, SRG became the first major senior living provider in the nation to earn acrossthe-board accreditation by CARF at each of their assisted living communities. Accreditation, which is comparable to a five-star rating in the hospitality industry, is awarded in three-year blocks. As such, many of SRG’s communities, which offer varying levels of care and services, are approaching a fourth, three-year accreditation renewal. For more information on SRG communities, please visit www.SRGseniorliving.com.

Among other reasons, they attract and feed birds and butterflies, save water, and preserve San Diego’s natural heritage. Non-native plants can have unforeseen and unfortunate effects on native habitat. Visitors will be able to browse among and purchase native shrubs, trees, flowering plants, succulents, seeds, books and posters. They’ll find convenient curbside parking for loading plants, and friendly, knowledgeable experts to assist them and answer questions. Cash, checks, and credit cards accepted. Learn more at www.cnpssd.org. All proceeds support the San Diego Chapter of the California Native Plant Society, a 501(c)3 nonprofit dedicated to preservation of native California flora.
