Police: Slain teen left suicide note BY LYNDSAY WINKLEY AND DEBORAH SULLIVAN BRENNAN When a 15-year-old summoned police to Torrey Pines High School early Saturday, May 6, he had a BB gun tucked in his waist band and a suicide note in his pocket, authorities said Monday, May 8. Police said the note was discovered the day after the boy was fatally shot by two officers as he approached them with the gun drawn outside the Carmel Valley campus. “We are confident he did plan for the incident to happen,” said San Diego police Lt. Mike Holden. Investigators haven’t release the name of the teen, but friends said he was Jacob Peterson, a freshman at Torrey Pines. He was fatally shot near the front of the school after someone called 911 shortly before 3:30 a.m. Saturday, May 6, and asked police to check on a boy at the school. Officers later determined the boy made the call himself. Investigators didn’t release what the note said. Classmates said Jacob didn’t appear depressed, and

administrators said there were no reports that he had been bullied. “That subject didn’t come up as we discussed the student and his background and other issues that we should be aware of,” said Eric Dill, superintendent of the San Dieguito Union High School District. “I’m not saying it’s not possible, but that wasn’t something that was at the front of administrators’ minds as we were going through discussions today.” “He just seemed like a good kid who showed up and did his work,” said Robbie Levinson, 17, who was in a law class with Jacob. “I guess he was having issues and keeping it more internal.” On Monday, police identified the officers involved in the shooting as Officer Gilbert Flores, a 28-year veteran of the San Diego Police Department, and Officer Kai Johnson, who has been with the department for four years. The officers spotted the teen soon after arriving at the campus and as they got out of their patrol cars, he pulled what appeared to be a black handgun from his SEE TEEN, A16

Student suicides: ‘Is there more we could have done?’ BY GARY WARTH AND PAUL SISSON Teachers look for warning signs, classmates keep an eye on their friends and counselors have meetings with parents, but all the efforts still are not enough at times. “I think the natural reaction for people is to consider, ‘Is there more we could have done, and are there things we should have seen?’” San Diego County Office of Education interim Director Bob Mueller said about the shooting early Saturday morning, May 6, at Torrey Pines High School. “In a general sense, I don’t think any school in the country can say, ‘We are doing everything, we’re doing enough,’ because it’s not something that will ever be finished with,” he said. “The work on school climate is something we’ll always be working to improve.” San Diego police officers fatally shot Torrey Pines freshman Jacob Peterson, 15, outside the school around 3:30 a.m. after responding to a 911 call (see story above left). The shots were fired after Jacob aimed a pistol at the officers and kept advancing despite their demands he drop the weapon, which turned out to be a BB gun. Investigators later discovered that the student had made the call and had a suicide note in his pocket. Mueller said schools generally have counselors, psychologists and social workers who work together as a team that tries to identify psychological issues before they spin out of control and result in students harming themselves or others. More efforts are being made to spot warning signs that students have serious emotional or SEE SUICIDE, A16

Rancho Santa Fe Review

Rowe teachers want their children to attend school

An Edition of

380 Stevens Suite 316 Solana Beach, CA 92075 858-756-1403 www.rsfreview.com

BY KAREN BILLING R. Roger Rowe School teachers are hoping that the district will consider amending its policy regarding allowing teachers’ children to attend Rowe School. As part of ongoing negotiations with the Rancho Santa Fe School District, the Rancho Santa Fe Faculty Association (RSFFA) has proposed

adding language to its contracts allowing teachers’ children to be enrolled. Previously teachers’ children were allowed to be enrolled per Board Policy 4111. That policy was amended at the end of the school year in 2016, limiting the enrollment to only teachers’ children previously enrolled and their siblings. “Since I was a fifth grader myself,

my goal in life was to become a teacher and have a family,” said fifth grade teacher Kristin Gerding, whose son will be a kindergartner in the 2018-19 school year and her daughter will start school in 2021-22. “Last year, I was heartbroken when I was told my children might not have the opportunity to come to school with me.”

RSF Association Tech Committee makes significant progress BY RICK SAPP AND MIKE LICOSATI The Rancho Santa Fe Association high-speed internet project continues to pick up significant momentum. The Technology Committee is currently reviewing and comparing proposals submitted by Internet Service Providers (ISPs). Requests for Proposals were sent to all current providers of internet services in the area, such as AT&T, Orion Cable, Cox Communications and Spectrum, as well as independent ISPs with experience in California. The providers were asked to describe their capabilities, experience, product offerings and pricing policies in their proposals, which were delivered to us a few days ago. We are continuing our analysis as well as ongoing dialogue with these companies so we can find the best solution for Rancho Santa Fe. Last week, the Technology Committee had its first look at the preliminary design of our fiber network. Henkels & McCoy (H&M) created the engineering design of a 60-mile fiber network that will pass 1,948 street addresses of Association members. The Tech Committee approved the preliminary design subject to verification of the addresses. H&M is now proceeding to the more

detailed engineering work necessary to produce construction drawings that will be used for permitting with the County of San Diego. H&M is also preparing construction cost estimates. This morning we received a preliminary cost estimate and are currently reviewing the numbers. The Committee will use the information collected from H&M and the Internet Service Providers to prepare a project budget and update its business and financial models. Those models will help formulate a projected cost for RSF Connect. As this work comes to a focal point, the Tech Committee and Association staff will concentrate on updating and educating our members about this critical community project. An overview of RSF Connect will be given at the Annual Meeting on Thursday, May 11, at 5 p.m. at the Garden Club. This evening meeting will be a good opportunity to learn about the project, especially for those who cannot attend morning board meetings. Members are encouraged to attend the meeting, ask questions and get up to speed about RSF Connect. Sapp and Licosati are RSF Association board members and Technology Committee co-chairs

Gateway project's market back on the table The Rancho Santa Fe Association board recently agreed in concept to the terms of an agreement proposed by Landrock Development, the developer of the Gateway project, according to a press release. The project is designed to include a grocery store and office space. The proposed agreement sets the parameters for the timing and terms for securing a grocery store for the project. While it does not guarantee a grocery store, it does enable Landrock to move forward with its application, the press release said. “We conceptually approved a proposed agreement with the hopes that Landrock will be able to find a suitable grocery store for our community. The board and Association members would like to see a grocery store return to the Village. We believe this opportunity is our best chance at achieving that and is in the best interests of Rancho Santa Fe,” said Fred Wasserman, RSF Association board president. As early as June 1, the board will make a preliminary determination on the project and

consider a variance to increase the square footage allowed at the site. Upon board approval, the next step would be approval by the CDRC (Covenant Design Review Committee). As early as July, the board could consider final approval of the project. Once the application is approved, a building permit would be issued, the press release said. The proposed agreement between the Association and Landrock will be posted prior to the June board meeting. At the open meeting, in addition to discussing the benefits of the project, the board will also discuss the risks the community is undertaking in moving forward with the project, including the risk that no market may materialize. The project is proposed for the gas station site on La Flecha in the Village area. The plans for the project include a 5,000-square-foot space for a grocery store. The proposed development features three two-story buildings on the site clustered around a central outdoor plaza with an underground parking structure.

Covenant Design Review Committee having busy year BY KAREN BILLING The Rancho Santa Fe Association’s Covenant Design Review Committee (CDRC) is on pace to review 450 projects this fiscal year, according to Building Commissioner Tom

Farrar. Farrar said they not only have a lot of really exciting residential projects coming through but they are especially excited about the new village commercial building on La SEE CDRC, A19

R.J, a graduate of Diegeuño Country School and freshman at The Bishop's School, is a member of Boy Scout Troop 766, chartered by The Village Church. This trailhead parking lot on El Camino Real is frequented daily by families, walkers

WIT is the only college credit social entrepreneur and leadership course in the country for high school teens. Upon completion of the nine-month course, teens earn six units of transferable college credit from UC San Diego. Teens accepted into WIT learn how to design and launch, manage and measure, a social enterprise or project. Over the years teens have launched enterprises that have made a local and national impact. At the showcase, entrepreneurial teens from 15 local high schools across San Diego will present the impact of their businesses and how they scaled their business ideas. “WIT was designed to teach teens the entrepreneurial mindset and spirit that is lacking in educational programs today,” said WIT Founder Sarah Hernholm. “Through WIT, teens learn how to be solution-oriented instead of problem-focused, helping them become leaders with the know-how to solve real community problems.” Logan Schwarz, a freshman from Rancho Santa Fe at The Bishop’s School in in his first year of WIT, created an enterprise called Prototype Coding.

He hopes his curriculum will inspire students to explore computer programming, which can lead to great career opportunities in the world’s fastest growing industries of tech. “My major problem was getting the computers,” Logan said. At first, he started out building his own mini computers for the students to use. He could design and build the computers for about $50 a piece, but as he heard feedback from investors at the WIT Pitch night, the idea wasn’t practical because he would need around 10 laptops per class and he would have to come up with the money to build all the computers.

Veteran conquers 81-mile Badwater race for fellow wounded warriors BY KAREN BILLING t was Ben Brown’s feet that gave him away as a runner. As he built gingerbread houses in his daughter’s classroom at R. Roger Rowe School last December, fellow gingerbread craftsman and ultrarunner Mike Trevino noticed the signs of feet that had put in some serious mileage. Trevino asked Brown “Do you run?” and the two stuck up a conversation, finding out that they both took to running late at night when they had trouble sleeping. A former Army Ranger and Purple Heart recipient, Brown’s sleepless nights came when he couldn’t block out the sounds and images of IED explosions, fire fights and putting his brothers-in-arms in body bags. He would throw on his shoes in the middle of the night and run around the golf course until he got tired and his mind quieted, sometimes for three-hour spells. On their first eight-mile running “date” together, Trevino, who once ran 275 miles nonstop down the coast of California and was the winner of the 2001 Badwater 135-mile ultramarathon, asked Brown if he would be interested in running April’s 81-mile Badwater Salton Sea race

“

My whole goal to run the race was to do it because I can. More than a handful of great guys don’t have two legs and can’t run this race, why not do it for them?

”

Ben Brown

Ben Brown leads the group in the Badwater Salton Sea. with him. The difficult route covers 81 miles through desert and mountains, from below sea level in Salton City, over Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and finishing with a climb up Palomar Mountain, a total elevation gain of over 9,000 feet. Brown had only run a 50 mile-ultra before but nonetheless he agreed with an “OK cool,” figuring he could get himself into

shape over the next few months. Three weeks before the race, the two-man team roped in “someone even crazier” than the two of them: Katya Meyers, a 36-year-old professional triathlete and ultrarunner from Solana Beach. It was a wild idea for Meyers, as well, since the longest run she’d ever done was 50 miles (one 50-mile race came just weeks after giving birth) and she was set

COURTESY

to fly to India the morning after the Badwater finish but, nonetheless, she was in. The lead-up training to Badwater was not ideal for all three runners. Meyers only had the three weeks to train and Brown had to take off the month of February after hurting his achilles tendon. In his six weeks of training Brown got in a 26and 30-mile run but only two

more runs with Trevino, who came down with pneumonia before the race and had to take off the month of March. The team was able to battle together and finished third in the mixed division and seventh overall in 19 hours and 38 minutes. For Brown, 35, the race was a chance not only to cross an item off his ultrarunning bucket list but it was also an opportunity to raise awareness and funds for his nonprofit, the 9 Week Warrior Challenge. At no cost to the veteran, they get nine weeks of personal training, massage, nutritional support/planning, constitutional homeopathic treatment, yoga and acupuncture. After his military service, Brown struggled with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury and at his lowest low was suicidal. He was able to find his “why” that helped bring him out of his lowest point in life-- his wife Chondra, his five beautiful children, coaching sports, running, weight training and helping others. “Not everyone has had the ability to find their ‘why.’ I am committed to helping our SEE WARRIOR, A18

RSF Republican Women to hold ‘Salute To America’ Memorial Day dinner and non-partisan tribute

RSF Boy Scout completing Eagle Scout project to help seniors Collection boxes available at Rowe School’s May 26 field day/career day event Boy Scouts of America, an institution that has over 100 years of history, reserves its highest honor for the young man who attains the rank of Eagle Scout. RSF’s Jacob Reinhart is one of those hard-working young men who, at the age of 14, has completed all the requirements for his Eagle rank. That award entails earning 21 Eagle required merit badges, such as citizenship in the nation, cooking, communication, first aid and swimming. There is also the Eagle project that displays leadership abilities to organize a project, recruit helpers, and devise a plan to serve others. Jacob’s Eagle project has been in process since January. The purpose is to provide a wide variety of activities appropriate for the seniors at Aviara. It has been proven that such activities help the elderly to keep their mental functions at a higher level. The culmination will be on May 27, with a big celebration from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. at Aviara Health Care Center at 944 Regal Road, Encinitas, 92024. On that date all the activities (see below) will be presented to the elderly. Visitors are welcome to join in the celebration with activities for all.

In recognition of Memorial Day, with Steve Lewandowski, USN (vet.), the RSF Republican Women, Fed. welcomes men, women, veterans, friends, family, and fellow patriots to honor fallen and past military heroes.

Local families step up to help Syrian refugees BY JOE TASH Against the backdrop of a national debate on immigration and attempts by the Trump Administration to block the arrival of new refugees from Syria and other countries, dozens of North County families are helping the 200 or so Syrian refugee families already living in San Diego County. Coordinating those efforts is Heart 4 Refugees, a nonprofit group formed last fall by several Syrian-American friends in San Diego County. “We have two choices: we can turn our backs or we can show them love. When you show them love, you get love back. They’re human beings, they need help like anybody else,” said Kinda Arzon, vice president of Heart 4 Refugees and a resident of San Elijo Hills in San Marcos. Among those who answered the call for help was Deanne Rudman of Solana Beach. She and her family have adopted a Syrian refugee family of six people - two parents and four children - who live in an apartment in City Heights. Rudman recently co-hosted a fundraiser at the home of Michelle Alsari, another Solana Beach resident whose family has also adopted a Syrian refugee family. The adoptive families have helped the newcomers in a variety of ways over the past few months, from gathering furniture and other needed household items, to helping their children get vaccinations and register for school, to assisting them with library cards and memberships to a YMCA near their home. “There’s a lot of things they need help with,” said Rudman. Her adoptive family consists of the parents, Laila and Hanifi, who are both 40, and their four children, two boys and two girls. The children are now attending school, while the parents take English classes five nights a week. “They’ve definitely made a lot of progress in the short time they’ve been here,” Rudman said, noting that the parents can communicate in rudimentary fashion in their new language. “They seem motivated to learn, that’s critical.” The family came from an area near Aleppo in Syria, and moved several years ago to

Deanne Rudman, second from left, rear, is shown with the Ibrahims, the Syrian refugee family that she and her family have adopted. Turkey. They came to the United States last year, with a wave of refugees who ended up in San Diego County. “They left because of the violence and the war,” she said, referring to the civil war that has ravaged Syria since 2011. After helping them get basic furnishings for their apartment - when she first met them in January they had a table but no chairs Rudman turned to other necessities, including trying to help the father, a trained welder, get a job. According to Arzon, most of the Syrian families have been paired with American adoptive families, but a few local families are still needed. Now that the refugees’ basic household needs have been met, the priorities are helping them get such things as a driver’s license, a car and work. “We’re trying to get them jobs. That’s the only way a refugee is not a refugee any more, then they won’t be dependent on welfare or cash aid to survive,” Arzon said. Both Arzon and Rudman dismissed the concern expressed by some that allowing Syrian refugees into the United States poses a danger to local residents. “What scares me more is an American citizen with a gun than a Syrian refugee who has gone through 18 months of vetting,” said Rudman. “They don’t just open the floodgates and let a bunch of people come in.” “There’s no easy answer, but closing the door to Syrian refugees isn’t going to be the answer to our terrorism problem,” she said. The extensive security clearance process for refugees

involves numerous interviews, biometric scans, and other research into the applicants’ past, said Arzon. “I feel those refugees are more vetted than you and I are,” said Arson. “The United States (government) knows a lot about who is coming here, they chose those families.” Currently, there are about 1,000 Syrian refugees in San Diego County, representing about 200 families, said Arzon. Many of them arrived last year, through the auspices of nonprofit resettlement agencies such as Catholic Charities and Jewish Family Services. Another 1,000 were expected, but the additional refugees have not shown up, she said, perhaps due to changes instituted by the new administration in Washington. Rudman is gratified that so many of her friends have stepped up to help the refugees, whether through donations of money, household goods or their time. “I’m here to help them get on their feet, give them the tools they need to be contributing members of our society,” Rudman said. “That will make me feel like I was success, if they are successful and have a job and a car and are a functioning family in our society.” Arzon said, “Let’s show them how beautiful America is and how beautiful the American people are. That’s been our mission. It’s been incredible.” Those who want more information or to help the Syrian families can visit the group’s website at heart4refugees.org.

his year’s $9.2 million deficit continues to loom large for the San Dieguito Union High School District, which is good reason to revisit the December 2015 teachers’ contract and the subsequent raises given to all other SDUHSD employees in 2016. The union contract approved 3-2 by the school board will cost the district millions of dollars annually, and has fiscal ramifications for years to come since salary increases are not a one-time expense. This massive $6.5 million annual expenditure is compounded by surging mandatory pension contributions which are expected to rise dramatically over the next few years. Dwindling reserves complicates the matter further. What were they thinking? The numbers, provided in August 2016 by San Dieguito’s now Superintendent Eric Dill, are startling. The teachers’ contract awarded a 7 percent increase retroactive to July 1, 2015 – and another 5.5 percent increase beginning July 1, 2016. After the teachers’ labor contract was approved, the district, by more 3-2 votes, then awarded the same percentage raises to classified employees and management – in other words, everyone, including then Superintendent Rick Schmitt. I asked Schmitt when this issue came up why he was taking this raise himself, when as superintendent he was charged with negotiating with the union on behalf of taxpayers. In other words, who negotiates for the public when the district and the union are on the same side of the bargaining table? “The school district negotiates for the taxpayer and the community, period,” he said. “That’s what we do. I/we represent the taxpayers in every negotiation we do, whatever the category.”

OUR READERS WRITE ‘Widening Via de la Valle’ Doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result? More development = more traffic. More people = more traffic. Widening and “improving” roads means that more vehicles will travel the roads. You cannot “build your way out of it.” Widen Via de la Valle and you will have more traffic into Rancho Santa Fe, hence a lower quality of life. When is enough, enough? Do we really want to be like L.A. and Orange Counties or do we want to put a stop to increased traffic ? Rob Peterson Twin Oaks Valley

“We’re always looking to get the best value for the community at the right price,” he added. Every salary increase in the teachers union contract is “by custom” awarded to every other employee in the district, Schmitt said, including those who negotiated the terms of the raise on behalf of taxpayers. I heard two responses most often: “Everyone does this” and “It’s the way we’ve always done it.” There is no clearer example of a conflict of interest than to have a superintendent negotiate on behalf of taxpayers and then take the same salary increase for himself, “by custom.” Me-too clause “Me-too” clauses rarely appear in superintendent contracts, and it did not in Schmitt’s. But it’s typical standard operating procedure that superintendents, who are charged with leading negotiations with their unions on behalf of taxpayers, receive the same pay raises granted to teachers and other staff – whether the language is specified in the superintendent’s contract or not. For example, the recent scandal at the San Diego County Office of Education concerned, among other issues, a clause in former Superintendent Randy Ward’s contract that stated: “The superintendent shall receive a salary increase each year equal to the increase rate given to SDCOE certificated teachers.” This contract was signed June 11, 2014 by Ward and Sue Hartley, who at the time was president of the county board of education and this area’s District 5 representative. Even though he received a big raise, Schmitt left the district June 30, 2016, to head the San Ramon Valley Unified School District in northern Calif. At the time, his SDUHSD salary was $238,329, which was set to go up to $248,347 on July 1. At San Ramon, where he started his employment on July 1, his contracted starting salary was $309,664. Besides the superintendent, Schmitt’s four associate superintendents also received raises identical to the terms of the union contract. Before the school board approved the raises for management in early 2016, the annual salary was $162,265 for all four associate superintendents: Eric Dill (Business Services), Mike Grove (Instructional Services), Torrie Norton (Human Resources), and Jason Viloria (Administrative Services). After the approval, their salaries increased retroactively back to July 1, 2015 to $175,000. On January 1, 2016 the salaries increased again to $185,276, and then increased once again on July 1, 2016 to $195,466. All figures are according to Norton. [Update: Dill is now SDUHSD superintendent, Viloria resigned last year to become supt. of the Laguna Beach Unified School District and was replaced by Mark Miller, and Norton has

www.rsfreview.com submitted her resignation effective June 30, 2017.] The money To recap, the total cost of the salary increases for 2015-2016 was $6,494,354, Dill said. Certificated (teachers) employees accounted for $4,096,522, classified was $1,952,920, and management and other employees cost $444,912. For 2016-2017, the total cost of the salary increases is $6,542,402, Dill estimated. Certificated employees account for $4,848,296, classified is $1,286,655, and management and other employees cost $407,451. This $6.5 million expense for salaries and benefits across the board will continue each subsequent year. (These figures, however, do not take into account the number of highly paid veteran employees who are retiring.) No one would have objected to a reasonable contracted salary increase. But the size of the raise, coupled with applying the same raise to management, is what’s problematic. As one reader wrote to me, “When taxpayers learn of the details of teacher contracts and compare them to their own job benefits and protections, they have no sympathy.” Last June, at the 21st annual Golden Watchdog and Fleece Awards dinner, the San Diego County Taxpayers Association named SDUHSD as the winner of its infamous Grand Golden Fleece award, for the outrageous raises given to all employees. This dubious distinction is not something you’ll see boasted about on the district’s website. “To make matters worse,” the SDCTA said, “a month later the superintendent negotiated the exact same raise and terms for himself.” Highest paid in county Then there’s the language in the contract that San Dieguito teachers must be the highest paid in the county. The SD County Taxpayers Assn. blasted the district, saying this guarantee is “irrespective of teacher performance, student success or the district’s financial stability.” Bob Croft, president of the San Dieguito Faculty Association (teachers union), wrote in an email at the time, “In the view of the SDFA Executive Board, our educators more than deserve to be the best paid here in San Diego County!” I asked Schmitt last year about this clause and the implications should other school districts also incorporate the same clause in their teacher contracts. “You make a good point,” he said. But he justified it anyway, saying, “There’s an expectation in our community that we’re Number 1 in academics, Number 1 in athletics, Number 1 in the arts. So Number 1 in everything. “To me it doesn’t seem odd that our employees are the highest paid in the county. It is an expectation in our community that we’re the best at everything. I’ll stand behind that point.” He also said the top pay is appropriate because the San Dieguito district “is the most expensive community in San Diego County to live” – overlooking the fact that most teachers commute and don’t live in the district. At the time, I referred to the latest salary comparison charts produced by the San Diego County Office of Education for teachers from all 42 school districts county-wide. SEE SUTTON, A19

Police said he ignored repeated commands to drop the gun and continued aiming at one officer while walking toward him. Fearing for their safety, both officers fired. The shooting occurred within a minute of police arriving. Holden said dispatchers did not realize the person who called police was the same teen officers found at the school, and that the caller never disclosed thoughts of suicide. Both officers had body cameras that they turned on during the incident, and the footage will be submitted to the District Attorney’s Office, Holden said. Investigators are expected to brief the office in the next coming days, but the full investigation won’t be submitted for months.

Students at the Carmel Valley campus were in mourning as well, and the mood was somber Monday, students said. “There was an air of melancholy,” said senior, J.C. Birkfeld, 18. “People (are) very upset and frightened at this tragedy.” During classes, teachers started discussions about the incident and encouraged students to talk with grief counselors who were available if needed. Students who knew Jacob said during interviews off campus that he was quiet, exceptionally smart and liked to talk about politics. He also had a lighter side, and would make jokes and laugh, said Lindsey Hart, 15, who shared four classes with the teen. Jacqueline Fisher, 18, was in a law class with Jacob and said he was intrigued by the mafia, loved the “Godfather” movies, and did a class presentation on the mob. “He was a very special student,” Fisher said. “He

was always sweet in class.” At a memorial outside the campus, flowers, candles, rosaries and other items piled up, and students left notes and poems expressing their sorrow over the boy’s death. “I’m sorry I never reached out to you or asked how your day was going when I saw how sad you looked,” wrote one student, who signed the name Annabelle. “My friend was shot in the parking lot, but they forgot what his name was,” one poem read. “He was lost so he called the cops to read his thoughts and make it stop.” One parent said the school had made several efforts over the years to raise awareness about mental health problems and to emphasize suicide prevention. Sharon Rosen Lieb, whose daughter attends the high school, said the school offers a program called PALS that trains students to reach out to classmates who may be feeling depressed or isolated. She said the campus also hosts an annual event where students can speak about family or social issues. “Torrey Pines is a very aware place in terms of

mental health issues,” she said. “That’s what makes this all the more tragic.” Why we named the teen The Union-Tribune does not typically publish the names of suicide victims, although exceptions are made in certain circumstances. This is one of those cases. The public nature of the act and the involvement of police officers make this a more complex story and one that is centered on the search for reasons behind the tragedy. While some mental health experts advise media organizations not to publish the method used in a suicide – out of a concern that vulnerable individuals might be spurred to repeat the act – that information is unavoidable in this case. Experts encourage media to act responsibly and to include information about suicide as a public health issue, which the Union-Tribune seeks to do with a separate story by reporters Paul Sisson and Gary Warth. (See sidebar on page 1.) --Lyndsay Winkley and Deborah Sullivan Brennan are reporters for The San Diego Union-Tribune --Staff writer Gary Warth contributed to this report.

long-standing substance abuse, physical ailments, depression and stressful life events. A state law that went into effect Jan. 1 requires the California Department of Education to create a model suicide prevention plan and calls for school districts to adopt the plan or create one of their own. Eric Dill, superintendent of the San Dieguito Union High School District, which includes Torrey Pines High, said his district has had such a plan in place for about 20 years. “Staff is learning to recognize the warning signs of crisis, and curriculum is taught for kids to understand how feelings of depression can

lead to suicide,” he said, adding that students also are taught to develop coping skills and recognize warning signs in their friends. “We were all shocked by these events and did not anticipate this,” he said about the shooting, but declined to discuss details about the incident or Jacob. In March, Torrey Pines High held Yellow Ribbon Week to raise awareness of mental health issues and suicide prevention, and many Torrey Pines students wore yellow in solidarity Monday, May 8. The role of school counselors in helping students cope with serious issues became a topic at San Diego Unified School District board meetings in recent weeks when trustees considered cutting some positions to help balance the budget. Several counselors appealed to the board and said their work can help prevent student suicides. Katherine Cowan, communications director for the national Association of School Psychologists, said it’s not uncommon for districts to cut counseling positions when budgets are tight, and most districts in the country do not meet the association’s recommendation of one counselor for every 250 students. Dill said San Dieguito’s ratio is one counselor for every 419 students, but that doesn’t account for other steps the district has taken, including peer counselors who help fellow students. Dr. Jeffrey Rowe, supervising psychiatrist for San Diego County’s Juvenile Forensics Division, said there are about 10 suicides among children per year throughout the region. In assessing whether an adolescent or young adult is suicidal, Rowe said he focuses on four main factors that can lead to despondency: Are they experiencing extreme pain and suffering either physical or emotional? Are they struggling with extreme embarrassment or shame? Are they overwhelmed from demands placed upon them? Are they exhibiting extreme anger or hurt? In recent years, bullying has received outsize attention from the public, especially at schools where it most often occurs. But Harkavy-Friedman said bullying alone has not been shown to cause suicide. It is often present in those who take their lives, but there are always a host of other factors present. Rowe and Harkavy-Friedman said the key is to watch for the warning signs and take them seriously when they do pop up. Rowe said that most don’t realize that suicide

attempts are successful one out of every two times, but those odds are changed dramatically when someone notices the warning signs and reaches out. “If somebody intervenes at all, even if it’s just to get them to a nurse practitioner or family doctor, that rate of success goes down to 2 percent,” Rowe said. The act of simply asking what’s going on when warning signs such as slipping grades, uncharacteristic mood swings, social withdrawal or depression and irritability keep cropping up can significantly lessen the chances of suicide. “You don’t have to start out with ‘are you thinking of killing yourself?’ Just let the person know that you care enough to notice that they’re struggling,” Harkavy-Friedman said. Suicide prevention resources In San Diego County the It’s Up to Us program provides an array of resources at up2sd.org.

R.J. enlisted the help of friends and fellow Boy Scout Troop 766 members to help him with the project. "I was happy to be able to enhance a place in Rancho Santa Fe that gets so much use,” R.J. said. “It will be a lot easier for cars to get in and out of the parking lot now.” The La Orilla Trail begins on the east side of San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve and continues westward for about 3.5 miles.

Animal center vows to change life of dog deformed by mistreatment The Helen Woodward Animal Center of Rancho Santa Fe announced recently that a special fund will support veterinary care for a 2-year-old Pointer-blend that was severely abused by his owner and neighbors, and survived a pit bull attack. Named Dwayne “The Rock’’ for his steadfast strength and sweet disposition, the dog was rescued in Tijuana and brought to the center. According to the rescuer, Dwayne’s owner bound the canine with a crude wire muzzle, kicked him and beat him with sticks. After the owner was jailed on an unrelated offense, the dog wandered the streets, where residents disgusted by his deformities threw stones and scalding water at him, the rescuer said. Dwayne was also attacked by a pair of pit bulls. He was left with a deformed muzzle

The dog remains good-natured despite his his ordeal, according to center President and CEO Mike Arms. “This beautiful dog took all the despicable abuse and neglect man can show to an animal, and still he wouldn’t

turn on mankind,’’ Arms said. “Helping animals like this is at the heart of Helen Woodward Animal Center. This is what we stand for and we’ll do everything we can to care for him and protect him.’’ People can make donations for the canine’s care via AnimalCenter.org/ RescueDwayne. Money raised will be used to enlist specialists who can provide Dwayne with reconstructive surgery, according to center officials. They said Dwayne’s injuries were so extensive, and projected veterinary costs so high, that none of the rescuers’ usual shelter contacts would accept him. Dwayne is currently living with a foster family, and will be made available for adoption after he is fully recovered, according to the center. For updates, visit animalcenter.org

Logan was able to secure a potential investor who donated 10 laptops for his first class. He plans to test the beta curriculum, which teaches coding using a fun programming game, to Bishop’s sixth graders next week. As Logan plans to continue on in WIT as a sophomore, he will spend his second year getting his curriculum into Title 1 schools, possibly in San Marcos or Barrio Logan. “It’s been super fun,” Logan said. “Next year I want to expand and really see what I can do.” He said as all of the students working on

As Hernholm has said, WIT gives students the space to fail — like any entrepreneur, they need to build resilience and grit, take a risk, fall and learn to get back up again. They can learn to see failure as feedback and keep moving forward. The WIT Showcase Event is taking place in four cities throughout the U.S. — in addition to San Diego, showcases will be held in St. Louis, New York and Austin. The San Diego showcase expects to draw a crowd of over 350 attendees and has sold out every year.

FROM WARRIOR, A5 nation’s heroes find their ‘why.’ We have lost too many, we continue to lose too many, and too many are lost trying to find any solid plan of how to care for their minds and bodies. They need to heal,” Brown said. “My whole goal to run the race was to do it because I can. More than a handful of great guys don’t have two legs and can’t run this race, why not do it for them?” With the Badwater race, Brown raised over $27,000 for 9 Week Warrior. Fitness has always been a big part of Brown’s life. After graduating from Torrey Pines High School, he played lacrosse and participated in Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) at Providence College--he was drawn to the Army’s opportunities to jump out of planes at Airborne School, become an expert with demolitions and receive small unit patrol tactics at the prestigious U.S. Army Ranger School. “Not only did I want to serve, but I felt this calling to serve in the most challenging and dangerous capacity that I was able, as a Ranger,” Brown said. “After successfully graduating Army Ranger, Sapper, and Airborne schools, I realized at that point, I had learned more about myself and life in general within that short year than all of my previous 21 years lumped together. I felt confident in any situation that I was placed in.” Brown served as an officer in Iraq, leading a platoon of soldiers, some of whom had been in the Army longer than he was alive. Brown deployed in 2004 and was in Iraq for 15 months straight--he led extremely tough missions that involved removing roadside bombs, enduring daily detonations on his vehicle and patrol. In one incident, he lost his driver after an IED exploded and his patrol came under a small arms fire ambush; in another he had to pull his squad leader out of a burning Bradley assault vehicle. His squad leader survived but he lost his leg. After he got out of the military in 2010, Brown struggled with flashbacks and PTSD and at his lowest point was considering suicide. He credits his wife Chondra as being his “angel,” helping to pull him out of his darkest depths, building him back up and finding his “why” in his family. He has five children and one on the way and is devoted to coaching his kids’ sports teams and volunteering at R. Roger Rowe, where he attended himself and his mother Barbara was a teacher for 37 years. “My ‘why’ is to be the best dad that I can be and make sure my kids go into this world with confidence and honesty and a concept of service above self, to give back to the community and give back to the planet,” Brown said. Running became an important tool for Brown to cope and heal and find peace. When not training for an event, he never has a set distance in mind when he goes out for a run, sometimes with his service dog Stella. He just listens to his body and what feels good at the time. “Running has became a mental, holistic soul-cleansing thing,” Brown said. “That’s what fitness has turned into for me, more of a mental-type therapy than physical.” After Trevino found about the 9 Week Warrior Challenge, he felt it would be a

This was Trevino’s second time running the Badwater Salton Sea---he ran the 81 miles last year as a member of a two-member team. “Mike told me after the first 20 miles you’re not running with your body you’re running with your mind,” Brown said. The race started around 6:30 a.m. on April 30. The elevation of the first 40 miles of race is flat but hot--it reached 105 degrees on the road and Brown said the Salton Sea smells of fish bones. The race then goes for about 10 miles on a trail section before the ascent up Mount Palomar. The team dynamic of the race added complexity because they have to stick together and run the same pace. As Trevino was still feeling the effects of pneumonia, he basically could not breathe by the time the group was about 20 miles into the race. “He was in bad shape but he rallied. He felt every step of that race,” Brown said. “There’s no quit in him, he’s the most mentally tough person that I know. That guy amazes me.” He described Katya as a “total beast” and also the team’s mother--always setting the pace. “It was cool to see the team dynamic come into play, we stuck together as a team,” Brown said. “I felt pretty good. If I was by myself I would’ve ended up in a lot of trouble because,like a lot of runners,I make the mistake of going out way too fast and hitting the wall. We had a pretty good pace and we slowed down after Mike started puking.” As the rules of the race are that the team members can’t be more than 25 meters from each other, they had to work together to finish. They plied Mike with Pedialyte and salt tablets and used a run-walk method as he recovered. The run-walk was killer on Brown’s feet--it hurt more to walk than to run at that point. At 6’3” and 225 pounds, Brown doesn’t have a typical distance runner build. While during the race Trevino and Meyers didn’t eat much food, Brown said “What didn’t I eat?”---for a man his size, he needed to restore about 400 calories every hour. He slammed about 25 peanut

butter and jelly sandwiches and turkey sandwiches, countless Oreos, gummy bears, bananas, dates and avocados--at one point he even ate a cheese pizza rolled up like a burrito. They all had about 50 salt tablets and went through about five or six gallons each of Pedialtye and water. Their support crew vehicle on the race included his wife Chondra. “I was really grateful that my wife could be out there with me,” Brown said. “I feel like I’m centered and grounded when she’s with me.” It got dark on the racers around 8 p.m.

and they strapped on mandatory reflective gear and lights. They crossed the finish line a little after 2 a.m. and earned their Badwater belt buckles and bragging rights. Seven teams that had started the race weren’t able to finish. It’s now on Brown’s bucket list to run the Badwater 135. Just to get into the race he has to complete two 100-mile races that Badwater recognizes---he is shooting to get into Badwater 2019. He has his friend Trevino to help him get there. Brown is excited about launching the 9 Week Warrior Challenge and about helping others. The goal is for participants to become certified personal trainers themselves so they can start working for 9 Week Warrior and continue to pay it forward. “There’s nothing else that motivates me more than breathing life into people who come to us completely broken and hopeless. I get emotional talking about it because it’s my passion. I love it. There’s nothing else that I’d rather be doing,” Brown said. After the race, Brown experienced a lot of swelling and pain in his feet--he lost four toenails and after a late night trip to the emergency room on May 1 was given six IV bags in 45 minutes and nerve blockers from the ankle down, causing him to be on crutches the first day after finishing. By Thursday, he was finally able to get his blistered and roughed-up feet back into shoes again. He was hurting but it wasn’t anything he couldn’t handle. He had a lacrosse practice to coach.

Alyson Goudy

March 18, 1933 - April 2, 2017 RANCHO SANTA FE — Alyson Goudy, wife of the late Dr. George Goudy, passed away at her home surrounded by her children on April 2, 2017. She is survived by her daughter, Thiere Goudy; daughter and son-in-law, Paige and Wil Spink; son and daughter-in-law, Blaise and Molly Goudy; as well as five grandchildren. Born in San Diego, Alyson grew up between La Jolla and Gadsden, Alabama. She was a graduate of the University of Arizona, Pi Beta Phi chapter president, and an honorary alumni of Washington State University. Alyson was always involved in contributing to her local community wherever she lived. She brought a sense of

elegance and creativity along with her passion to serve. She served on the boards of Country Friends, UCSD Friends of the Library, Stanford Museum, Junior League, National Charity League and WSU Foundation. Her tenure on the board of Country Friends spanned over 20 years. Alyson was

recognized as a Woman of Distinction by the Salvation Army in 1988. Her creativity extended into every facet of life Alyson dove into. She was a savant in the kitchen, cooking ‘by the seat of her pants’. She brought southern elegance to what would later be known as fusion cooking. She had a unique ability to dive into the cupboards and create a world class meal without looking at a single recipe. Later in her life Alyson followed her father Louis J Rice Jr’s passion in the financial markets, primarily stocks, researching companies to invest in, and sharing her ideas with her children and her Blue Chip Broads investment club. Wednesday Club, Country Friends fashion shows,

Sundays in the Park fundraisers, gardening, travel and many other activities filled her days. Never without a project or endeavor, Alyson began fly fishing and golfing after her husband George passed away, even landing large steelhead on the Klamath River. Alyson’s life will be celebrated with a service at 10:00am on Saturday, April 22, 2017, at St Peters Episcopal Church in Del Mar. In lieu of flowers, Alyson requested donations in her honor to The Country Friends, PO Box 142, Rancho Santa Fe, CA 92067.

And it would make me a better educator for your children if I don’t have to split my time between two different schools.” Moreno said her mother was a theater professor who wrote and directed countless plays and assemblies at her elementary and middle school. “I know firsthand that my mother’s passion for teaching was elevated when I was allowed to be a part of it,” Moreno said, growing emotional speaking about having that same opportunity with her own daughter. Gerding said of all the memorable moments at Rowe, her favorites have come during eighth and fifth grade promotion ceremonies when teacher-parents are allowed to hand over certificates and share a warm embrace with their promoting child. “It wasn’t until I became a parent four years ago that this moment brought tears to my eyes,” Gerding said, hoping she could participate in the same tradition with her

children. As both teachers noted, teachers with students in the school are very invested: First grade teacher Jen Olson coordinates robotics after school hours, computer teacher Jackie Mendez coaches volleyball and is the yearbook coordinator. Principal Kim Pinkerton often eats lunch with her daughter and her little friends, and teacher Steve Riviere often hosted his daughter and her friends in his classroom at lunch, an open-door policy that has continued even after his daughter graduated. “It seems so natural for teachers to have their own children in school with them,” Gerding said. Parent Amy Brown also spoke in support of the teachers. She shared her own experiences bringing her daughter to work with her and the impact it had. “I hope all teachers have that same experience, it is so meaningful and important and one of the great things that this district has always offered,” Brown said. The faculty association and the district cannot comment on ongoing contract negotiations, but Amanda Valentine, president of the RSFFA, said they are hoping for a positive outcome on this topic.

Even if all that is true, which is suspect, did the raises need to be so high, at 12.5 percent?

The CDRC is also considering retail incentives to bring more village commercial projects and is taking a look at its building permit timeframes, ensuring that the timeframes reflect the scope of the projects. Farrar said the committee is also considering revising the residential design guidelines which were created in 1991 and include some outdated information. Farrar said they are looking at guidelines to edit or embellish as appropriate.

‘The Old Man and The Old Moon’ has West Coast premiere at The Old Globe

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DIANA SAENGER Like to laugh and leave the theater in a delightful mood? Then you won’t want to miss PigPen Theatre Co.’s “The Old Man and The Old Moon,” already attaining great reviews at The Old Globe Theatre. It’s sort of a fable, a myth, or as the Broadway World dubbed it, “A glorious fusion of music and theatrics.” Arya Shahi, who received a B.F.A. in Acting from Carnegie Mellon University was part of the actors and writers who co-created every iteration and appeared in every production of PigPen’s “The Hunter and The Bear,” “The Old Man and The Old Moon,” “The Mountain Song” and “The Nightmare Story.” He said PigPen Theatre Co. liked working with The Globe on this play. “It’s very exciting to be in California and introduce a brand-new community to this show that we’ve been doing for five years,” Shahi said. “PigPen has been the same seven guys for 10 years now. We were freshman in an acting program at Carnegie Mellon University when we met in 2007. “We began writing short stories and fairytales together, and also music to accompany them. It was mostly just for our friends and teachers, but then we took our show on the road and went to the New York Fringe Festival where we earned some awards. That kicked off our career in professional theater. “This production, in the style of an odyssey, is inspired by a lot of Celtic folklore, and also from Ryan Melia, who plays the old man. He came to us when we were in college and told us a little story he made up when he

Stuart Carden directs the cast of ‘The Old Man and The Old Moon,’ created by and starring the PigPen Theatre Co. was a camp counselor and had in mind for us. It was about a giant who filled the moon every night with light. “It really made us think about that scenario. Over the next year, we chipped away at that idea and wrote a story around a giant who became a very small old man who had to climb a ladder. In essence, for us it became about why the moon has it cycles. When his wife suddenly disappears, the old man has a very hard decision to make.” Shahi plays five or six different characters

as does most of the cast. They like creating stories where the actors can play different characters and surprise the audience over how different they can be. In writing the folk music performed throughout the show, they discovered its power and what it can do to an audience. As a writer, performer or any kind of artist, Shahi said he will never get over the fact that he and his comrades are making things up that people are responding to emotionally. “Just to have someone change a point of

view from a story you created, which now is thousands of people, it’s hard to process that. A lot of our work is inspired by the Disney cartoons we grew up with. We have a central protagonist who meets characters, and we get to play them all. We just do our work and hope people get something out of it.” ■ IF YOU GO: “The Old Man and The Old Moon,” plays May 13-June 18 on the Shiley Stage at The Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.

La Jolla Vein Care offers minimally invasive treatment

BY DAVID L. CODDON Being a nurse practitioner is a gratifying profession, and especially so for Anna Cardinell at La Jolla Vein Care, which is dedicated to the diagnosis and treatment of vein disorders. “There’s a lot of patient teaching involved, which I really enjoy,” said Cardinell. “You have a chance to make patients feel better and look better, and they don’t always realize the benefits they can obtain by having the treatment.” “The treatment” for bulging, or vericose veins has come a long way from the traditional practice of vein stripping, a surgical procedure. La Jolla Vein Care specializes in minimally invasive treatment procedures. Among them is radiofrequency ablation (RFA), which delivers radiofrequency energy to the vein wall, causing the vessel on the inside to become inflamed and then close. This allows the remaining healthy veins to predominate. Another commonly employed treatment at La Jolla Vein Care is sclerotherapy, which consists of injections with a pharmaceutical solution. RFA is intended to be a one-time procedure, and Cardinell says, “The recurrence rate is very, very low.” Sclerotherapy may involve repeat injections to get the vein to close, but she says, “The majority is all done in the first month of the therapy.” While there may be multiple reasons for vein disease, such as pressure on the lower body from pregnancy, increased weight or being on one’s feet a lot, genetics is the No. 1 factor, according to Cardinell. It is also seen more commonly in women than in men. Ultimately, she says, “We don’t really understand” why it happens. “The vein walls just become weak, and when they become weak they

start to dilate and the blood starts going in both directions. It builds up pressure in the veins, and it’s just a cascade of problems.” Vein problems are not confined to an older demographic. “We see patients in their 20s, even their teens,” said Cardinell, who has a surgical background that ended up taking her into interventional radiology. Treatments at La Jolla Vein Care are covered by insurance if they are done for medical and not strictly cosmetic reasons. “Insurance wants to know that they (patients) have tried and failed conservative management, which consists of primarily wearing medical-grade compression hose for three months. That can help temporarily control the symptoms, but it’s not going to change the disease’s progression.” Those symptoms, by the way, can include in addition to visibly bulging or spider veins, heavy or tired legs, cramping, throbbing, swelling, even restless legs. Not having any symptoms at all, however, can be deceiving. Cardinell recommends a visit “if you have a family history as well as if you start to experience symptoms.” La Jolla Vein Care, founded in 2010, boasts a workforce of seven in addition to Cardinell: a physician, two medical assistants, two ultrasonographers and two administrative staff members. Patients come from as far away as Northern California and even from Mexico. La Jolla Vein Care is in the Scripps Ximed Medical Building, 9850 Genesee Ave., Suite 410, La Jolla.

Cinépolis debuts new look, expansion with May 13 celebration BY KAREN BILLING Cinépolis Luxury Cinemas Del Mar will celebrate its recent refresh with a grand re-opening event on Saturday, May 13, complete with games, giveaways, music and complimentary popcorn for movie goers from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. As part of its expansion and renovation, the cinema has brought in all new reclining, plush leather seats in all of its theaters, not just the new ones, and now all theaters will be able to serve alcohol for adults, not just the limited selection in the past. “We’re really excited about the grand re-opening, it’s going to be a lot of fun,” said Mike Reed, Cinépolis USA’s regional manager who opened the theaters at Del Mar Highlands five and a half years ago. “We want everyone to know that we’re open and we’re bigger and better than ever. We want everyone to come back and see us and enjoy the luxury movie experience they have become accustomed to.” The theater was closed for renovations and expansion from September 2016 through mid-December 2016. The theater partially opened on Dec. 15 and is now ready for a close-up on its new look. The

refresh includes three new auditoriums that added nearly 200 seats, an expanded concessions and lobby area and a complete remodel of the kitchen that allows them to keep up with the volume of serving food and drinks for a now 11-plex cinema. The expansion brought Cinépolis Del Mar up to 713 seats, making it the brand’s largest luxury theater in the country. All theaters feature Cinépolis’ push-button at-your-seat service where waiters can bring menu items such as gourmet sliders and skinny fries, salads, flatbread pizzas, tacos and paninis, The always-changing menu includes desserts like milkshakes, chocolate lava cake and cinnamon and sugar churro bites, as well as classic movie snacks such as popcorn (gourmet versions include truffle popcorn and zebra popcorn drizzled in white and milk chocolate), candy, pretzels and nachos. The full bar serves up wine, beer and cocktails. “With the renovation I think we have addressed a lot of guests’ concerns,” said Manager Brandon Carson, noting that comments they most heard from visitors was that there wasn’t enough parking and that the theater needed more bathrooms. Cinépolis has benefited from Del Mar Highlands Town Center’s new three-level parking garage, located directly adjacent to the theater. Reed said there is almost always a space open, and elevators and stairs from the garage bring moviegoers right to the plaza in front of the theater. As far as the restrooms, they added additional restrooms close to the new theaters in addition to the ones upstairs in the lobby and on the other side of the cinema. Reed said the summer is shaping up to a big one for movies and their bartenders have come up with a new slate of movie-themed cocktails to go along with them. On part one of the summer movie cocktail menu is “Why is the Rum Always Gone?”, inspired by “The Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” which comes out on May 26.

inBloom brings butterflies, nature-themed fun to Flower Hill BY KAREN BILLING Flower Hill Promenade has been transformed for inBloom, a month-long series of events and activities to bring the community together at the Del Mar lifestyle center. Through May 28, inBloom celebrates flowers and nature with unique offerings such as a butterfly exhibit, floral fashion shows, movie nights on Fridays, craft workshops, and kids activities like butterfly yoga, make and take crafts and imaginative playhouses to explore. “Our vision for inBloom is to provide new and memorable ways to eat, shop, learn and connect with one another while supporting some of our city’s most remarkable businesses and entrepreneurs,” said Flower Hill owner Jeffrey Essakow. Essakow’s company Protea Properties has placed a focus on purchasing real estate properties in high profile areas and transforming them from “lemons to lemonade” — in addition to the transformation of Flower Hill, his company was recently selected to redevelop Seaport Village. Essakow purchased Flower Hill 15 years ago with the sole purpose of renovating the somewhat tired center built in the 1970s and giving it new life. The first step was demolishing the UltraStar movie theater and replacing it with Whole Foods. The second step was renovating the rest of the center, reinvigorating the landscaping and bringing actual flowers back to Flower Hill. “Up until a couple years ago you could walk around the center and not see too many flowers,” Essakow said.

A floral umbrella canopy over the lower plaza at Flower Hill. The transformation of Flower Hill is a necessity, Essakow said, as the entire retail and shopping industry is changing due to the increase in online shopping. “The trend is creating experiences at shopping centers — it’s no longer customer service, it’s about customer experience,” Essakow said. “We can’t as a shopping center and retailers compete with the Amazons of the world, we’ve got to create things that they can’t do. Our goal is to figure out ways to get customers to come here because they want to come here not because they have to come here…It’s all about capturing the hearts of

Butterflies mark the wall of the center. our customers, bringing people here because it’s just cool to hang out at Flower Hill.” inBloom has been in the works for the last two years through the planning efforts of Essakow, R&R Enterprises’ Siena and Leslie Randell, longtime manager Rose Jabin and marketing director Irina Rachow, who has been a 25-year tenant at Flower Hill with Fairen Del. Sienna Randell said the idea of inBloom was to stretch the event out over the entire month so everyone has a chance to get to see or experience some part of it. The free Butterfly Encounter featuring hundreds of butterflies flying in a custom-built butterfly house will be open at the center through July. The exhibit will also serve as a great educational component from the community as an estimated 1,000 children will walk through the butterfly house as part of school field trips. In addition

to the butterflies, a bird sanctuary was also brought in and placed near the expanded playground by Gepetto’s Toys. Flower Hill has brought in top landscaping and gardening experts to help adorn the center, including Pat Hammer, former director of operations at the San Diego Botanic Garden and local designers from BrightView Landscape. Charles Meier, a creative director for Paradiso Parade Floats whose work has rolled in the Rose Parade has brought in whimsical butterflies and flowers that give parts of the center a fantasyland-type feel. One-hundred-year-old olive trees hand-sculpted in the Bonzai method have been planted in the plaza by Starbucks and Yogurtland, and flower vignettes fill every empty corner and wall in the center, from plantings stuffed into jeans near clothing SEE INBLOOM, B19

Tete a Tete with literary agent Jill Marr grand raffle prize at Blazing Laptops event BY SEBASTIAN MONTES It’ll take more than a nifty turn of phrase to impress Jill Marr. Her 16 years as a literary agent with Del Mar’s Sandra Dijkstra Agency has paired her with best-selling authors from all over the country. So aspiring authors need more than a way with words to convince her to add to her roster of two dozen writers she’s shepherding toward publication. At a minimum, it’ll take a keen sense of audience and at least some grasp of the ins and outs of publishing. “I’m always much more impressed with people who are able to approach me with knowledge of the industry,” Marr said. “If they know what they’re doing, it really puts them up a notch in my book and makes me want to work with them.” That rare chance to confab with a seasoned pro — to sit where so many accomplished authors have sat before — will be up for grabs on May 21 when several dozen wordsmiths hunker down for the 10th annual Blazing Laptops in Point Loma. The all-day fundraiser is the product of San Diego Writers Ink, a non-profit housed in Liberty Station. To mark the event’s anniversary, SDWI will raffle off a power lunch with Marr, offering up the chance to pick her brain and

maybe — just maybe — make the pitch that lands a spot on Marr’s roster of authors. It might be easy to be intimidated by Marr’s cohorts. That roster includes journalists Gregg Zorroya and Kristina Rizga, Washington state senator Pramila Jayapal and TV personalities Nick Groff (Travel Channel) and Fred Stoller (Everybody Loves Raymond). But fear not, a San Diegan that breaks through isn’t as far-fetched as you

Mysteries, thrillers and “high-end” horror in the vein of Thomas Harris — the dark genius who dreamed up Hannibal Lecter — top her wish list. She’s also known to sink her teeth into a good piece of historical fiction, and always has an appetite for screenplay-friendly women’s fiction. And another word to the wise: don’t skimp on the word count. “People will come to me and say, ‘I have a novel I’m excited to show you!’

might think. The venerated agency that Sandra Dijkstra started more than 30 years ago has represented a long list of local legends — Mike Davis, Chalmers Johnson and Janell Cannon to name a few. And while, yes, pedigree matters, perspective matters more. “Fresh ideas are so hard to come by,” Marr said. “We are always looking for the new next breakout novelist or book.”

and it’s 50,000 words and I have to tell them, ‘Actually, no, that’s not a full-length adult novel.’” The writers at Blazing Laptops won’t accumulate such an audacious amount, but it’s just the sort of exercise that’s perfect for bringing aspiring authors out into wider audiences, attention and acclaim. “I love that it pushes people, because sometimes people can get into such a rut. I see how people get writer’s block,” Marr said. “So being surrounded by others, and all that creativity, it’s a great idea.” Blazing Laptops runs from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday, May 21 at the Ink Spot, Liberty Station, 2730 Historic Decatur Road, Barracks 16, Suite 202. Also this year, SDWI is compiling the 10th anniversary edition of A Year in Ink, its anthology of local poetry, non-fiction, short stories and book excerpts. This year’s commemorative edition features 40 works picked from an all-time high of 450 submissions. “Every year we are the first publication for somebody, and give them their first big break,” said Kim Keeline, SDWI’s marketing and communications director.

ational Charity League, Inc. San Dieguito Chapter (NCL, Inc. San Dieguito) recently celebrated its first meeting of the new NCL year with mothers and daughters exploring the three pillars of the organization – leadership, culture and philanthropy. The meeting, attended by over 200 mother and daughter members, was themed “Putting the Pieces Together.” After a few fun activities highlighting the six-year program, new members

were introduced. Members were then able to participate in the annual Philanthropy Fair. “It gives our Chapter members an opportunity to come together and not only celebrate the successes of our mother-daughter community outreach in the current year, but to assist our members in making their plans for service in the coming year,” explained Pam Regnery, vice president of philanthropy. The fair allows the philanthropy volunteer coordinators

an opportunity to inform our members of ongoing and new opportunities for service. Members also had the option to complete a few off-site projects such as creating bubble wands for the New Children’s Museum, creating hygiene kits for the San Diego Rescue Mission, Friends & Family Community Connection and Mi Escuelita pre-school or decorating puzzles for Women’s Resource Center.

Event benefiting Voices for Children to be held May 20 COURTESY PHOTOS

Guests enjoyed an entertaining talk recently presented by popular storyteller Marilyn McPhie at the RSF Historical Society.

Guests listening to storyteller Marilyn McPhie at the RSF Historical Society.

Marilyn McPhie brings stories to life at La Flecha House The Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society recently presented Marilyn McPhie, popular storyteller to members and guests this past week. Not sure what to expect

with each story being presented the audience was quiet and at rapt attention, unless they were laughing out loud at a turn or twist in the story.

At the beginning of the evening all started with light refreshments, and meeting and greeting. But, by the end of the evening all were discussing what a surprisingly

good time they had. Many stayed and visited discussing the presentation and the comfort of being at La Flecha House. Guests were asking what the topic of the RSF Historical Society’s next speaker will be, but that will be advised later in the year. The recent evening was for member entertainment, and although McPhie included stories of the Rancho Santa Fe history, she kept it light and very interesting. For more information about the Rancho Santa Fe Historical Society, or its upcoming events, visit www.rsfhs.org, or call 858-756-9291.

Voices for Children’s sixth annual Wine Women & Shoes event will be held on May 20, from 2-5 p.m. at the historic Canfield-Wright Estate in Del Mar. The afternoon garden party featuring fashion, fine wine, and philanthropy will benefit Voices for Children (VFC) and its Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) program. Organized by VFC and event co-chairs Patricia Brutten and Marina Marrelli, the fundraiser includes a fashion show, premium wine tasting, delicious food from Waters Catering, a fashion marketplace for guests to roam and shop, and an exciting live auction. In addition, the popular “Key to the Closet” and “Wall of Wine” opportunities are back for the 2017 event. Last year’s Wine Women & Shoes benefiting Voices for Children grossed a record $305,000 which will further VFC’s mission to transform the lives of abused children by providing them with volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs). For more information, including ticket sales and sponsorship opportunities, visit www.speakupnow.org/WWS or contact Sheila Owens at (858) 598-2261 or SheilaO@speakupnow.org.

Guest Nicole Terrill and Teresa Kaldor

ew York Times best-selling author Lisa See has made The Santaluz Club a regular stop when on tour for her new novels and has left a lasting impression on all members and guests who attend the sold-out events. See made her fifth visit to the club for the release of her new novel, The Tea Girl of Hummingbird Lane, with 80 guests in attendance. The release of her new novel set the stage for every detail of the themed lunch – from the floral arrangements to each of the three courses, the tone and texture of the linen to the frills on the menu. Members and their guests were also greeted at the door with Green Tea Martinis! Graeme Simsion, author of The Rosie Project, will make a stop to release his new novel, The Best of Adam Sharp, this month. -- Azucena Moreno

Preserving Your Historical Property At GDC Construction, we know it is important to preserve the history and charm of our unique community of La Jolla. With so many architectural gems in this “jewel” we call home, we passionately believe in historical preservation. Over the years, we have worked on dozens of preservation remodels of historical properties. These include: my grandfather’s remodel of the La Jolla landmark the Athenaeum in 1956, which now serves as an art and music library; my father’s 1984 remodel of the YMCA La Jolla Firehouse as a youth center; my renovation of the La Jolla Community Center; and GDC’s recent remodel of La Jolla Firehouse 13. The San Diego Historical Resources Board is responsible for designating a local home or building as historic. Then, the California Mills Act allows homeowners to get a tax rebate for maintaining a historical property, an incentive that can go a long way to helping preserve the character that people have come to associate with La Jolla. Preserving a historic property isn’t always simple. If you DR. VAN CHENG San Diego Vein Institute 760.944.9263 sdveininstitute.com

are inte interested sted in i restoring st in or preserving in a historic hist ic property, there are some important steps to consider. If you are interested in purchasing an older property and want to know if it is listed as a historic home, you can research the home’s deed trust to discover its original build-date and learn more about its history. The National Register of Historic Places and the National Trust for Historic Preservation provide lists of historic homes and properties for sale. Also, you can check with local building conservation associations or historic societies in your area, such as the La Jolla Historical Society. However, if you are wanting to permit a significant alteration, or demolition, to a building that is older than 45 years old, it will automatically trigger a review by the historic resources board during the permit process. If the property has characteristics of a specific style, is associated with persons or events that were historically significant, or a master architect, designer or builder, you will need a site-specific historic report. This report will be reviewed by the historic resources board and at a hearing, it will be determined if you property is designated historic or not. Historic properties will come with restrictions on what you may do to alter the exterior of the building and landscape, but not the interior. Therefore, it is crucial to always make sure you hire a licensed contractor who specializes in restoration or rehabilitation. Also, there is a big difference between “restoring” and “rehabilitating” historic properties. Restoring a house means returning the appearance of

interior off th the st structure both the exterior xt io andd interi ct to the time tim period in which it was built. For homes of a certain age, strict preservation usually isn’t possible. For example, if the house did not originally have indoor plumbing, but you plan to live in the home and don’t want that level of “rustic authenticity,” then you will likely not choose a strict restoration! Another reason not to seek strict restoration might be historic renovations made to the home, especially if provenance comes into play. For example, if Marilyn Monroe previously owned your house and retiled a wood floor in hard-to-find pink ceramic tile, there may be a strong historic appeal to keeping that addition. Restoring can be costly, but recreating old woodwork and other handcrafted elements of the original home with original artisanal materials will also restore its value and will boost your appreciation of your historic home. Rehabilitating an historic house means making it functional and livable for contemporary life, while maintaining its important historic and architectural features. Often, rehabilitated homes will have all the modern conveniences of updated plumbing and electrical systems, a modern kitchen, and other potential upgrades. However, in all cases you should be sure to take care to minimize the interference with the integrity of the historic quality of the home. This may also, of course, include removing any previous additions that were poorly designed or executed, or have compromised the integrity of the historic home. Whatever you do, make sure you have a solid plan in

place wh when restoring pl tori or rehabilitating habilitati your historic hist ic property, just as you would with any build or remodel project. Know your team and make sure the contractor and tradespeople are communicating. A plumber may need to cut a hole in plaster to access a pipe, but a carpenter may be necessary to do that part of the work to maintain the historic integrity. Any potential environmental hazards in a historic property should be handled with caution. Many older homes in La Jolla contain asbestos and lead paint, and you don’t want to expose workers or occupants to these elements unprotected. Try not to install new windows in your home if the old windows have an historic quality. Often, heat retention can be boosted with glazing, crafty carpentry, or strategic weatherstripping. On average only 10 percent of a home’s heat loss occurs through windows, so there may well be more effective ways to handle this heat loss and preserve what might be an important feature of the historic home. Finally, make sure you document existing conditions and each part of the restoration or rehabilitation process, especially with a digital file to help further preserve the historic home’s ongoing history. For more information on preservation in the La Jolla community, or if you want more information on restoring or rehabilitating an historic home, visit us at www.gdcconstruction, or come see us at GDC Construction, 1031 Silverado Street, La Jolla, CA 92037 858-551-5222.

“

W Went to Nissan right after I had my son because we wanted a family SUV. I had checked out some other dealers before coming here. It was the best car buying experience yet. Got discounts and they helped us find the SUV that fit us. Never once were they pushy car salesmen! I always talk about my experience at this Nissan. My husband and I left happy and still are very happy today about adding a new Nissan!
