Two high school stories to watch in 2014

■Award-winning author thrilled with move to Del Mar. See page B1.

BY KAREN BILLING Canyon Crest Academy 2014 will be a big year for the San Dieguito Union High School District’s Canyon Crest Academy as it celebrates its 10-year anniversary. Since opening, the school has proven excellence in academics, the arts and athletics. Already on the books is a celebration gala event on May 16 called “Across the Universe,” which will include an “Envision Showcase featuring songs from the Beatles.” CCA’s most humble beginnings date back to 2004 when 364 students attended school in 19 trailers in the parking lot. Now CCA is a campus of about 1,800 students and the campus keeps on growing and improving. Last year the school opened its new track and athletic field and, in 2014, student athletes will play on new baseball and softball fields, lacrosse and soccer fields. The class of 2015 will be the first to hold graduation in the new stadium,which starts construction next

year. CCA has become wellknown for its Envision arts program and next year figures to be big as its talented students will take on “Les Miserables.” Rehearsals are already underway for the spring production. Torrey Pines Hoops Heading into January, the Torrey Pines Falcon basketball team is ranked number three in the county and (at presstime) has only lost one game, to the number one team, St. Augustine, by just 5 points. The Falcons have re-

turned an entire team from last year, a team that was league champions and made a deep playoff run, losing to El Camino in the semi-finals of the CIF Championships. “We were very good last year and expect to be good again this year,” said Coach John Olive. The road to a championship this year won’t be easy as for the first year in CIF there will be an open division where the top eight teams will compete. “We’ll be playing teams See WATCH, Page 6

2013 school news: A year in review BY KAREN BILLING Principal switches In 2013, Carmel Valley schools saw principal shakeups in all three of its school districts as Solana Pacific, Sycamore Ridge, Sage Canyon, Torrey Hills, Torrey Pines High and Canyon Crest Academy all got new faces in the principal’s office. While one, Solana Pacific’s Brian McBride, retired, the rest moved on to new positions or for personal reasons: Sycamore’s Emily Morris was replaced by Peg LaRose from Sage Canyon; Vivian Firestone took LaRose’s place at Sage; Torrey Hills’ Barbara Boone was replaced by Monica Sorenson; and Elisa Fregosa took the reins from McBride, who was the founding principal at Solana Pacific. At the high school level, Brett Killeen left after nine years at Torrey Pines, replaced by Canyon Crest Academy’s founding principal David Jaffe. Canyon Crest Academy’s Brian Kohn left for Northern California to be replaced by Karl Mueller. Additionally, at the end of December it was announced that principal Jerry Jones would also be leaving Solana Highlands to open the new Solana Ranch School in Pacific Highlands Ranch in 2014, meaning one more principal needed to be found to lead a Carmel Valley school. Other school news San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent Ken Noah retired in June. He had served the district for four-and-a-half years and one of his last accomplishments was helping to get Prop AA pushed through, providing funding for a multitude of projects in the district from simple heating and air conditionSee SCHOOL, Page 6

2013 in Carmel Valley: A year in review

DMV reminds motorists of new 2014 laws

BY KAREN BILLING Here’s a look at some of the major stories to hit Carmel Valley in 2013 (a year in review for Solana Beach and Del Mar was published Dec. 26): Mixed uses Carmel Valley heard a lot about mixed use in 2013 as three projects went through review processes with the planning board. Buzz words emerged such as: walkability, village, Main Street, Trader Joe’s, “strings of pearls” and level of service (LOS). Overflow crowds turned out to planning board meetings held in local school auditoriums to hear about everything from the very technical details of the One Paseo draft environmental impact report to just wanting to have a say on the project — some feel the project would ruin Carmel Valley, others feel Carmel Valley needs the project. In January, more than 400 people showed up at Canyon Crest Academy for a rehashing of One Paseo — including former Mayor Bob Filner, who would resign in August after several allegations from multiple

The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) is reminding motorists of some of the new laws that went into effect on Jan. 1, 2014 (unless otherwise noted). Bicycles: Passing Distance. AB 1371 (Bradford), known as the Three Feet for Safety Act, will require a motor vehicle driver passing a bicycle that is proceeding in the same direction to pass with no less than 3 feet between any part of the vehicle and any part of the bicycle or driver. When three feet is not possible, the motor vehicle must slow to a reasonable and prudent speed and only pass when no danger is present to the bicyclist. Failing to do so can incur a fine, regardless of a collision or not. This law will take effect Sept. 16, 2014. Clean Air Vehicle Decals/“HOV Stickers.” AB 266 (Yee) and SB 286 (Blumefield), together extend sunset dates for low emission, zero emission vehicles to operate in high occupancy vehicle lanes (HOV) without meeting occupancy requirements to Jan. 1, 2019. Commercial Driver’s License. AB 1047 (Linder) will allow the DMV to conduct the commercial drive test for the holder of an out-of-state commercial learner’s permit. The department would electronically transfer the information to the motor vehicle department in the applicant’s state of residence. AB 1047 also modifies the license class definitions to require a driver operating a bus weighing more than 26,000 pounds to hold a commercial Class B license and a driver operating a bus weighing 26,000 pounds or less to hold a commercial Class C license.

women of sexual harassment. In March, more than 200 people attended a meeting where Kilroy unveiled more than $5 million in extra community benefits, including a tree-lined boulevard along Del Mar Heights, a village walk along El Camino Real with a series of public plazas and spaces (the “pearls”), making missing connections to trails and contributing toward a proposed new soccer field at the Carmel Valley Recreation Center. Some found the enhancements fantastic, others compared them to “lipstick on a pig.” In October, the city recirculated the One Paseo environmental impact report (EIR) with two additional scaled back alternatives of the proposed project, but Kilroy still believes that the reduced Main Street alternative will best meet the project’s goals and objectives. While Trader Joe’s is no longer a part of One Paseo, developers Coast Income Properties were able to score the much-requested Trader Joe’s as its first signed ten-

ant for the Pacific Highlands Ranch Village Center. The Pacific Highlands Ranch Village Center project was unanimously given recommended approval by the CV planning board in February. The mixed use site will feature 155,000 square feet of retail with a mix of shops and restaurants, a unique plaza gathering space, large green area and 325 residential units. And then there was Merge, a new mixed-use center being planned for the Carmel Country Highlands area. Developer Gary Levitt looked to create a mixed-use community hub with unique, modern architecture but that didn’t sit well with surrounding neighbors who felt it should blend more with the community character. Levitt worked with neighbors to change the project from its residential flats above retail and a central green to no central green space, just 22 townhomes and 31,000 square feet of retail on the ground floor and offices above — with less modern but still unique architecture.

DMV Vehicle Registration Pilot Program. SB 806 (Hueso) authorizes DMV to establish a pilot program to evaluate the use of alternatives to stickers, tabs, license plates and registration cards, subject to certain requirements. It will also enable the DMV to experiment with electronic license plates, as well as facilitate DMV’s ability to explore cost-effective alternatives to California’s traditional metal license plate, plastic-coated registration stickers, and paper registration cards. Registration and Vehicle Transfers Between Family Members. AB 443 (Lowenthal) prohibits the transfer of ownership of a vehicle to a relative or a revocable living trust until all parking or toll-violation fines and penalties reported to the DMV are paid by the transferee. Teen Drivers. SB 194 (Galgiani) will prohibit a person who is under age 18 from using an electronic wireless communications device to write, send, or read a textbased communication while driving, even if it is equipped with a hands-free device. Veterans License Plates. AB 244 (Bonilla) Requires the California Department of Veterans Affairs (CalVet) to sponsor a veterans’ special interest license plate and requires the DMV to issue the veterans’ plate if CalVet meets the current statutory requirements. This law creates, in addition to the current Honoring Veterans design of the Veteran’s Organization Plate, a new program to reissue the Veteran design that was issued prior to Jan. 1, 2010. These plates are available to all vehicle owners. The Department of Veterans Affairs must secure 7,500 pre-

Carmel Del Mar music teacher receives ‘2013 Profiles in Music Education Award’ •Longtime teacher says she ‘has the best job in the world.’ BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Del Mar music teacher Cinda Peck was recently leading rehearsals for the upcoming winter concert when the kids hit a note so amazingly — Vienna Boys Choir-style perfectly — that she burst into tears. One concerned little boy asked if they had done something wrong and she replied that no, they had done something exactly right. Then the boy queried, “So if you’re not crying we are doing it wrong?” It is special moments like this that have kept Peck in the classroom in the Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) for 22 years. “I love what I do,” said Peck. “I have the best job in the world.” In November, Peck was a recipient of the 2013 Profiles in Music Education Award from the San Diego Youth Symphony and Conservatory. Peck was nominated by Lauren Widney, a former student whom Peck taught more than 20 years ago as a music aide at Del Mar Hills Academy. “It was a huge surprise and such an honor, especially to come from a former student of mine,” Peck said. In Widney’s nomination letter, she wrote how Peck influenced her as a youngster and helped guide her toward a career in music. Peck received her award at a concert at the Escondido Performing Arts Center where the San Diego Youth Symphony and Conservatory ensembles performed. Even more touching than the fact that a former student nominated her, Peck and her fellow DMUSD music teachers who attended noted that about 70 percent of the students in the ensembles came through Del Mar. “It was really fun for us to see that the kids continued to pursue music,” Peck said. Peck is a Kansas-native who earned her degrees in music education and music therapy at the University of Kansas. There are several University of Kansas “Jayhawks” at Carmel Del Mar, including office administrative assistant Ann Hoffman, who was one of Peck’s college classmates. Peck moved to San Diego with her husband Rod, a

Cinda Peck Navy pilot she met when they were both working for Continental Airlines. Her son, Logan, is now an F18 Navy pilot based in Japan and her recently married daughter, Marin, is a physical therapist at UC San Diego Medical Center in Hillcrest. Peck took the job as an music aide at Del Mar Hills Academy in 1991. In 1997, she left the Hills for Carmel Del Mar where she briefly taught fifth grade before taking over as the music teacher. She has been at Carmel Del Mar for the last

17 years, living three houses down from the school and walking to work every day. Music has always been a part of Peck’s life. She started playing the piano in the second grade and played the clarinet from fifth grade through college. She was always a singer as well, singing in choral ensembles through high school and college, and she still sings alto in the La Jolla Symphony Chorus. All Carmel Del Mar students have music in their Extended Studies Curriculum rotation. They learn music history, musical notation, perform in musical theater and all learn to play at least two instruments a year, be it guitar, keyboard, recorder or one of the Orff instruments, such as xylophones. Peck and other district music teachers are looking forward to the transition to the Common Core State Standards, as music education supports what is going on in the classroom. “Because we’re specialists we can take the learning one notch deeper,” Peck said. “We’re very excited about Common Core because we think music fits right in and it’s important to keep our music programs to provide depth of knowledge.”

LAWS continued from page 2 paid applications in order for the department to implement this plate program. Additionally, the Department of Motor Vehicles will begin the process of implementing AB 60 (Ale-

For evidence of that integration between music and subjects such as history and science, one needs to look no further than Peck’s storage closet. The closet is impressively filled from top to bottom with costumes and props for more than 30 different plays. The students use musical theater to deepen their learning. “My favorite is the musical plays because I think the kids learn so much. When they’re playing Einstein they have to learn about him to act like him and that’s exactly what the Common Core wants us to do, give them they basics and let them explore,” Peck said. “The plays are a great way to learn. I align them with science and social studies so what they’re learning in the classroom is the same thing they’re learning in music, just at a different level.” After 22 years, Peck said she is still going strong and she is so grateful to work in a district that values music education and the role it can play for children. “I’m really appreciative of the parents, for not just their financial support but the enthusiasm they have for the music program.” Peck said.

Two local scientists honored by President Obama President Obama named 102 researchers as recipients of the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers Dec. 23, the highest honor bestowed by the U.S. Government on emerging science and engineering professionals. The winners will receive their awards at a Washington, D.C., ceremony in the coming year. Two scientists affiliated with UC San Diego are included on that list: Dr. Quyen Nguyen from the Department of Health and Human Services, and Dr. Brian Head from the Department of Veterans Affairs. “The impressive achievements of these early-stage scientists and engineers are promising indicators of even greater successes ahead,” President Obama said. “We are grateful for their commitment to generating the scientific and technical advancements that will ensure America’s global leadership for many years to come.”

Assessor says most homeowners will see just ‘slight’ tax increases in 2014 — From County Reports When compared to the year 2012, single-family homes in San Diego County increased in market value by more than 20 percent in 2013. However, due to a limit imposed by Proposition 13, 71 percent of San Diego County residential property tax value will grow by less than one half of one percent. “I campaigned in 1978 when Proposition 13 passed. I support it because it limits value growth and in turn limits the unabated growth in taxes,” said San Diego County Assessor Ernie Dronenburg, Jr. “Under Proposition 13, values cannot grow more than 2 percent or the inflation rate, whichever is lower. The inflation rate for 2013 is less than one half of one percent. The factor is .454 of one percent. “This is the eighth time the inflation factor is less than the 2 percent limit and is the second lowest change since passage of Proposition 13 — 35 years ago.” He went on to say that if, for example, the assessed value of a home in this category is $350,000, then under the top adjustment factor of 2 percent, this homeowner would

be facing an increase in assessed value of $7,000. However, next year he will see an increase of $1,589 in assessed value. “There are more than 526,000 singlefamily properties in this Proposition 13 category in San Diego County,” Dronenburg said. Properties recently sold are not subject to an inflation increase. Also, properties that in the past have had assessments reduced below their Proposition 13 values, due to the fact their current market value was less than the Proposition 13 value, are evaluated annually. If the current market value as of January 1, 2014 is higher than it was in 2013, the property value will be restored to its former Proposition 13 value or to current market value, whichever is less. “This check on government easily converting inflation of home values to taxes is one of the most important parts of Proposition 13. It limits growth in taxes beyond a homeowner’s ability to pay,” Dronenburg said. For more information, visit www.sdarcc. com

Coast Guard seizes 7,100 pounds of marijuana and detains three smugglers BY JEANNE MCKINNEY The U.S. Coast Guard and its partner law enforcement agencies recently disabled another major marijuana smuggling operation for the second time in a month. According to a Coast Guard press release, on Dec. 10, a Coast Guard aircrew on a HC-130 Hercules spotted a 30-foot panga in international waters approximately 155 miles southwest of San Diego. Coast Guard Cutters Active and Edisto and a 45-foot Response Boat from Station San Diego pursued the fleeing panga, which refused to stop. A Coast Guard marksman from Helicopter Interdiction Tactical Squadron (operating from the Active) used warning shots, and then fired on the engines, obstructing the panga’s escape. Continuous aerial support was provided by an aircraft crew from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Office of Air and Marine Multi-role Enforcement. Once intercepted, the 74 bales and three suspects were handed over to San Diego Marine Task Force law enforcement agencies. Capt Michael Eagle, 11th Coast

Several bales of marijuana seized from a panga sit on the deck of the Coast Guard Cutter Edisto Dec. 10 before being transferred over the San Diego Marine Task Force at Naval Base Point Loma. The 30-foot panga was intercepted approximately 155 miles south of San Diego. (U.S. Coast Guard photo by Petty Officer 3rd Class Connie Gawrelli) Guard District Chief of Response, praised the successful operation, “In a little more than a week, Active has been involved in stopping two major shipments of illegal drugs.” On Dec. 2, Coast Guard crews interdicted a panga loaded with 201 bales of marijuana operated by two suspected smugglers. In both cases, Eagle said that Coast Guard aviators and boat crews “…used their law enforcement training, tools and techniques to safely apprehend five suspected smugglers and stop the delivery of more than six tons of marijuana.” Eagle adds, “The Coast Guard, along with our international, federal, state and local partners, will continue to work to counter these transnational criminal organizations and we will use every available resource...”

Carmel Valley Middle School student publishes collection of short stories BY KRISTINA HOUCK While other kids are watching television or playing video games, Amrita Vetticaden is writing short stories. The Carmel Valley girl has been dreaming up characters and plots since she first learned to write. “When I learned how to write, I started writing little short stories,” said Amrita, a seventh grader at Carmel Valley Middle School. “When I learned how to type, it was like a whole new world. There’s like 1,000 stories sitting inside the computer.” Now 12 years old, Amrita is sharing her favorite tales in her self-published book, “MooMoo the Grass Hunter & Friends.” From heroic cows to goats in spaceships, the collection of short stories contains 88 pages of adventures. Using a Samsung Galaxy Note 2, Amrita also illustrated the pictures. “It’s mainly about animals doing heroic things such as climbing Mount Everest and saving the planet,” Amrita said. Passionate about animals, most of Amrita’s short stories feature critters, big and small. Proceeds from the book will benefit the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, as well as UNESCO’s Programme for the Education of Children in Need. “I really love animals,” said Amrita, who has a betta fish named Clowny. “I would like to help the animals that are without a home because they deserve homes. It’s not right for ani-

Amrita Vetticaden with her book, “MooMoo the Grass Hunter & Friends.” Photo/Kristina Houck mals to be out there without any care.” “MooMoo the Grass Hunter” is Amrita’s favorite story in the book. The last and longest piece is about heroic cows named MooMoo and Mooey McMooson. She started writing the tale when she was just 7 years old. “Writing is just so fun,” she said. “There’s not any set thing that you have to do. For math, there’s only one right answer. For writing, you can do whatever you want. It’s limitless.” When she’s not writing, Amrita likes to read, draw, swim and play violin. She recently earned her black belt in karate. Amrita also enjoys spending time with friends and family, including her 9-year-old sister Divya and her 7-yearold brother Vinay. Already writing her second book, Amrita plans to be a physician and best-selling author. She also hopes to have her own farm. “She’s always loved writing,” said Sonia Vetticaden, Amrita’s mother. “When I saw the book, tears came to my eyes. I know she’s happy with it and it makes me happy because it’s something that she really enjoys doing.” “I’m delighted that she has this ability and she wants to put it to good use,” said Santosh Vetticaden, Amrita’s father. “I think it’s wonderful that she can spread happiness in the world by using her books as an instrument.” For more information about “MooMoo the Grass Hunter & Friends,” or to purchase the book, visit xlibrishub.com/ wd/us/142798/

SCHOOL continued from page 1 ing upgrades at Torrey Pines High to a complete rebuild of Earl Warren Middle School, scheduled to be complete in 2016. The first major Prop AA project, Canyon Crest Academy’s new track and athletic field, was completed in September. To replace Noah as superintendent, the district appointed Rick Schmitt in May. A rash of computer lab robberies plagued many Del Mar Union and Solana Beach District schools over the summer and the districts stepped up security measures. Solana Beach also got started on the construction of its new school, Solana Ranch, extended its kindergarten day in the district’s Global Education program for next year, promoted Julie Norby from principal at Solana Santa Fe to its director of instructional services, and

changed the grade configurations at Carmel Creek and Solana Highlands to transitional kindergarten through third grade and Solana Pacific to grades 4-6 starting in fall 2014. Del Mar Union School District started work on drafting its new facilities master plan, came up with more than $2.5 million in cuts to deal with a budget deficit, including increasing class sizes, and hired two new district cabinet members: Jason Romero as the new assistant superintendent of human resources and Dinah Brown as the new coordinator of curriculum and instruction. DMUSD also honored the memory of 16-year trustee Janet Lamborghini, “a champion for children,” who passed away on May 5 at the age of 73. All districts prepped for the Common Core State Standards, which must be implemented next fall.

REVIEW continued from page 2 Trail opens The Del Mar Horsepark portion of the San Dieguito River Park’s Coast to Crest Trail opened on Jan. 12, 2013, completing a twoand-a-half-mile stretch of trail that begins at Jimmy Durante Boulevard. The new half-mile of trail is just one part of the planned 55-mile Coast to Crest trail from Del Mar to Julian and is open to walkers, bikers and equestrians. “We’ve been working on it for a while and we were finally able to make the connection between the lagoon trail and this portion,” said Dante Lee, a San Dieguito River Park ranger. “It’s a fantastic view of the river and when the tide comes in you can see a lot of birds and ducks. This is one of the most interesting views of the river that you get on this side.” Mile markers are installed at every half mile and there are benches to catch your breath. A good portion of the trail is on a fun boardwalk and on your way you can see everything from horses to lagoon life to golfers hitting on the range. The trail even has an app! It can be downloaded at sdrpmobile.org and provides information on wildlife and plants, as well as trail maps. CV Library: The next chapter The Carmel Valley Library celebrated its 20th anniversary in July with a fresh coat of exterior paint, made possible by donations to the Friends of the Carmel Valley Library from Del Mar Highlands Town Center and San Diego City Council President pro-tem Sherri Lightner, who contributed $26,000 from her Community Projects, Programs and Services budget. The black streaks are now gone from the library, which is considered one of the best, most-loved libraries in San Diego. In 2012, the library’s circulation was 394,083, one of the highest circulations in the city other than the central library downtown. “The fact that it is so well used is really a testament to what a great asset it is to the community,” said Marion Moss Hubbard, the

dian import and only a sophomore, is attracting a lot of attention from coaches in college programs across the country. The Falcons have developed a bit of their own Lob City, often with junior Dominic Hovasse tossing the lofty pass and Brandon slamming it home — Olive said the boys developed this bit of trickery on their own time and have gotten a city library system’s senior public information officer. “The city is really proud of that branch, it is one of our shining branches.” Gonzales Canyon Neighborhood Park In the early part of the year, Pacific Highlands Ranch residents set to work designing their long-awaited, much-delayed, fullyfunded-since-2008 park. With only 5 acres off Pacific Highlands Ranch Parkway to use, the design committee looked not to waste space on a parking lot and focus on more park. The plan includes a large community gathering space, designed as a bosque with picnic tables under a cluster of trees, a secondary shaded picnic table area, 10,000 square feet of tot lot space for both younger and older children, a comfort station, a sloped, grassy amphitheatre space, a half basketball court and maximized playing field space. A walking loop about a quarter mile long links to both the promenade and the urban amenity trail that surrounds the park. Beth Fischer, Pardee Homes division president, said they are committed to delivering the park by December of 2014. What’s new? Kaiser Permanente opened its modern new medical offices on Carmel Creek Road, nearly eight years after purchasing the land. The 50,000-squarefoot, two-story facility houses 20 primary care offices and 10 specialty care services, including cardiology, dermatology, radiology and neurology, with a full pharmacy, diagnostic lab on site, as well as Kaiser’s first comprehensive Women’s Center in Southern California. Whole Foods Market opened in the renovated Flower Hill Promenade, as well as the hotly anticipated restaurants Sea and Smoke and Cucina Enoteca. IHOP’s lease expired at Del Mar Highlands Town Center and it was replaced by Snooze AM Eatery in July, long lines forming in the mornings for one of its big breakfasts. In July, Burlap re-opened as Searsucker, and Which Wich Superior Sandwiches and Unleashed by Petco opened up shop. City Kids Beach Kids left the Highlands after 20 years as its lease was not

knack for it. In addition, 6’5” senior forward Sam Worman is attracting the attention of college recruits — “he does a little bit of everything for us,” Olive said. In more than 17 years of coaching at Torrey Pines, Olive has had a lot of special players come through and this team is no different. “I love them,” Olive said of his team. “They’re

renewed. A heartwarming homecoming The Cathedral Catholic community rallied for the family of basketball coach Will Cunningham. Several members of his family were severely injured in a head-on collision caused by a drunk driver on March 17. The drunk driver was killed and Cunningham’s wife, Alisa, and three of his children — Taylor, Jayden and Logan — sustained major injuries. Taylor, 17, suffered the worst injuries, including a fractured pelvis, broken right hip, broken wrists and a brain injury that left her in a coma for 17 days. She spent 75 days in the hospital and, in September, her classmates voted her homecoming queen. The homecoming king beside her also beat incredible odds — king Ronan Nelson broke his neck and incurred spinal cord injuries in a rugby game in 2012. Teenage hero Trevor Brown didn’t think or hesitate, he just acted when he saw a stranger have a cardiac episode and stopped breathing at Del Mar Highlands Town Center on April 10. The 17-year-old Cathedral Catholic High senior performed CPR until paramedics arrived and said it just seemed “obvious” to spring into lifesaving measures. “It didn’t seem heroic to me, a situation just presented itself to me and I had to go help,” Trevor said. “It’s not hard to help people when you know what to do.” Performing CPR was something that Trevor had just been trained to do a little over two weeks before at an Athletes Saving Athletes program at his school. He had even taken part in a CPR demonstration video. Athletes Saving Athletes was created by Advocates for Injured Athletes, an organization co-founded by Beth Mallon and her son Tommy after Tommy suffered a life-threatening neck fracture in 2009 while playing lacrosse at Santa Fe Christian School. “I just started sobbing when I heard, absolutely sobbing,” Mallon said of Trevor’s actions. “It’s coming up on the four-year anniversary of Tommy’s accident and to have the program actually bring a direct result, to know one of the athletes was able to recognize the situation and step up and intervene, that’s

good kids and they get along well together, follow directions, they’re coachable and I enjoy being around them.” Students have taken to calling the Torrey Pines gym “The Olive Garden” as a tribute to the longtime coach and Coach Olive just has to laugh at how it’s catching on. “That’s wonderful,” he said. the whole purpose of the program. It shows it works.” CV planning board rejects Via de la Valle widening plan In September, the planning board took a stand against the proposed Via de la Valle widening in light of new concerns from Del Mar Horsepark users and business adjacent to the road that would be negatively impacted. The plan, about 10 long years in the making, is to widen Via de la Valle from two to four lanes from San Andres to El Camino Real, keeping it as narrow as possible through the sensitive riverpark area. The board has long questioned why the widening is necessary as the road doesn’t go anywhere to the east, stopping after the El Camino Real interchange and continuing as two lanes into Rancho Santa Fe. According to the city, the widening is needed to accommodate future traffic volumes and to address current problems as the volume is double than what it was built for. Coming attractions By February, construction is set to begin on Pacific Highlands Ranch Village Center, future home of Trader Joe’s. Coast Income Properties, developer of the Carmel Valley Road mixed use project, received a unanimous vote of approval at the planning commission in December and hopes to open stores in the first quarter of 2015. Dan Curran, vice president of Coast Income, said they are not prepared to announce any new lease signings beyond Trader Joe’s but hope to be able to soon. “We have interest from a lot of exciting tenants and want to make sure we get the tenant mix just right,” Curran said. “We are really excited about the project and can’t wait to see it become a reality.” Construction continues on Solana Ranch School in Pacific Highlands Ranch, which is set to open in fall 2014 for the Solana Beach School District. The San Dieguito Union High School District should start construction on its Pacific Highlands Ranch middle school in mid2014. The first 500-seat classroom building is expected to open in fall 2015.

Music Machine: Local resident Nash Howe produces and records debut album BY ASHLEY MACKIN When local resident Nash Howe started at UC San Diego he was a declared biology major. He had never sung or played music before. But with a simple and unexpected gift from a friend, his life changed direction. He released his debut album “Lake Water Still” on Dec. 13, 2013. “My friend gave me this large-diaphragm AKG Condenser microphone and while I was playing with it, I wanted to see what sounds I could make with it,” Howe said. Over the span of six months, he recorded different sounds; melodies, using instruments such as guitar and piano; and lyrics. “It wasn’t supposed to be anything except me playing around, but it grew into this 11-track album,” he said. A lot of what ended up working came at the hands of trial and error. “I probably recorded 50 songs, some were good and some were bad.” Lyrically, Howe just writes about what he knows. The track “The Road,” he said, “is about my change from a biology major at

heard how it actually sounded,” he said, learning an important lesson in accepting imperfection. “The music will never be perfect.” Though imperfect, Howe was still proud of his work, and wanted to share it with friends. So he organized the album on ReverbNation.com, a site for unsigned musicians to showcase their work. Through Reverb Nation, his songs have been played more than 69,000 times, his videos 37,000 times, and he has some 800 registered fans – all in less than a month. To use Reverb Nation, 50 percent of all sales must go to charity. Howe’s charity is Love Hope Strength, which uses concerts to enlist bone marrow donors. Donors have their cheeks swabbed to determine tissue type. From there, the data is entered into the National Marrow Donor Program registry in anonymous form, so doctors can search for a donor for their patients. To date, Love Hope Strength has listed more than 52,000 donors and matched 764 of them with patients in need. Sorting artists by area, Howe is ranked (as of press deadline) the No. 2 artist in La Jolla. “Lake Water Still” is classified as “electronic jazz with easy listening guitar melodies,” and is available for free download (as a complete album or by song or purchased to help Love Hope Strength) at ReverbNation.com/NashHowe

BY KAREN BILLING There are some changes happening at Del Mar Highlands Town Center as it is in the process of adding three small tenant spaces. The spaces are being built by Wells Fargo Private Bank and construction should be complete by early March 2014. The first space, located on the top level next to Geppetto’s, is complete and longtime tenant CeramiCafe Art Lounge has leased the spot and has already re-located into it. “CeramiCafe is the community’s place for ‘paint your own pottery.’ It’s also become a great location for birthday parties,” said Elizabeth Schreiber, vice president and general manager of Del Mar Highlands Town Center. “We are excited for CeramiCafe and Geppetto’s to be neighbors as we think they share many of the same customers.” The other two new spaces, which are located on the lower level, are still under construction. One space is located next to the FedEx Office, and the other space is near Sushiya and will extend the building toward Wells Fargo. Schreiber said there are a few prospective tenants who have shown interest but no leases have been signed yet. “Our focus is on tenants whose business occurs during the daytime in order to avoid adding further congestion in the evenings during dinner,” Schreiber said.

Author has 10 steps for writing a memoir; Book signing to be held Jan. 26 BY LINDA HUTCHISON If you’ve ever thought of writing your life story, but don’t know where to start or if anyone would want to read it, then local author and teacher Kay Sanger has written the perfect book for you. It is called “Write Your Memoir in 10 Steps: From First Ideas to Finished Book.” After teaching memoir-writing groups for 10 years, Sanger said she decided to pull her many ideas together. “I had many students ask me to write things down, to be more explicit,” she said. “My book is really practical, a hands-on approach. When people pick it up, they think, yes, I can do this.” Sanger’s book helps would-be memoirists determine why they want to write, what they want to write about, how to deepen their stories, then revise and publish. The 10 steps are backed up with exercises, examples and encouragement. “Writing a memoir helps both the writer and the reader,” Sanger explained. It helps the writer to recover memories and then to reflect on them, put them in perspective. “You can find out a lot about yourself by writing a narrative, more so than just thinking,” she said. And it helps the reader by offering inspiration and a connection with the past. “Many people don’t think others would be interested in their stories, but to them I say, wouldn’t you just love to have a memoir written by your grandmother? What was life like then? What family stories could she have told that would shed light on your parents’ personalities and your ingrained values?” By writing a memoir, we can leave something behind for our children, grandchildren, even our community and business colleagues. Sanger is more than well-qualified to help others uncover their memories and find their voices. Her illustrious career spans 40 years and includes teaching deaf children to

speak, writing travel articles and guidebooks, setting up museum exhibits and uncovering artifacts as an archeologist. She has written seven books, including “Easter Island: The Essential Guide,” “Southern California for Kids,” and “Discovering Prehistoric Rock Art.” Inspired early by Helen Keller’s memoirs, Sanger earned a bachelor’s degree in speech/communications from Purdue University, then a master’s degree in education from USC for before teaching deaf children in Los Angeles, Sydney, Australia and London. While living in Sydney, her husband, journalist Tom Sanger, encouraged her to write about her experiences and so began a 30-year freelance travel-writing career. Her love of other cultures was further fueled by a threeand-a-half-month trip she and her husband took by bus from Kathmandu, Nepal to London in the early 1970s. The Overland Route followed the steps of Alexander the Great and stopped in several countries, including India, Iran, Af-

ghanistan, Turkey, and Greece before the Sangers bought a car in Germany and headed to London. After a brief stint in London, Sanger and her husband returned to Los Angeles, and had a daughter and a son. Fascinated by all the cultures she’d seen and written about, she returned to college, earning a master’s degree in anthropology/archeology at UCLA. She has participated in several archeological projects on Easter Island and in Costa Rica, Mexico and Central California. She also worked for two major museums in Los Angeles – the UCLA Fowler Museum and the J. Paul Getty Trust – writing public relations and marketing materials, and running educational workshops. In 1997, Sanger and her husband moved to La Jolla, where she has continued to write and teach others how to write. In addition to “The World I Live In” by Helen Keller, Sanger says her favorite memoirs are “The Road from Coorain” by Jill Ker Conway, and “Wild: From Lost to Found in the Pacific Crest Trail” by Cheryl Strayad. That book inspired her to complete several long-distance hikes, including a recent 70-mile walk on England’s Cotswold Way to celebrate her 70th birthday. As for writing her own memoir, Sanger has two in mind: one about her career, and another about the trip she took 40 years ago from Kathmandu to Europe, where she especially enjoyed the people and sights in Afghanistan. “I took plenty of notes, but at the time no one wanted to know about those areas, they were too remote to sell,” she said.

Abandoned cat left at Helen Woodward Animal Center on Christmas Eve

Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito is awarded a $50,000 grant from DPR Construction’s Foundation

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Employees at the Helen Woodward Animal Center found an abandoned cat Dec. 24 and named him George Bailey, after the lead character of the beloved Christmas movie ``It’s a Wonderful Life.’’ The feline, a male black domestic short-hair, was left in a crate outside the facility’s horse stables. The crate contained a note that said the owner was no longer able to care for the 7-yearold feline — but assured staff that he was up-to-date on vaccinations as of last year. ``It is always emotional for us when we see an adult family pet that is given up without any real explanation,’’ said Ed Farrelly,

The Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito recently announced that DPR Construction’s Foundation, a 501(c)3 charitable organization, awarded a $50,000 grant in support of the Club’s efforts at its La Colonia Eden Gardens Branch in Solana Beach. The DPR Foundation exists to help children who fall short of their potential due to socio-economic challenges. The DPR Foundation aims to achieve measurable results in allowing kids to become happy and productive members of our communities. Additionally, one of the founding objectives of DPR was to become an integral part of the communities in which they work and to become indispensable in furthering various community needs. “We are incredibly grateful to The DPR Foundation and DPR Construction for their generous contributions over the past few years” stated David H. Crean, chief executive officer for the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito. “DPR and its Foundation are truly great organizations that are differentiated from most others. They not only provide monetary contributions for the Club at La Colonia, but their San Diego Office staff also actively engages and participates in capital improvement projects and volunteering at the Club. Our collective missions are aligned and are the basis for a great partnership as we provide pathways for Great Fu-

It really hits us all so close to Christmas.’’ Staff at the facility were giving George a medical check-up and will go through a normal two-week waiting period before he becomes available for adoption. The center said anyone who wants more information on the cat, or to adopt him, can contact the Adoptions Department at (858) 756-4117, ext. 1; visit www.animalcenter. org or stop by at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe.

tures for those who need us most.” The La Colonia Branch of the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito currently serves 110 under-privileged and low-income children, mainly Hispanic, ranging in age from 5 to 17, each day. All of these youth are 100 percent scholarship and do not pay for the services and activities provided for them. With the commitment of dedicated staff and support of Eden Gardens community members, they have developed sustainable Elementary After School and Teen Mentoring Programs for pre-teens and teens to help suppress ongoing challenges in the city’s Eden Gardens neighborhood such as drug and gang violence. The DPR Foundation grant winners are selected annually by The DPR Foundation board and local DPR Construction employees. In addition to financial assistance, DPR volunteers make the annual commitment to donate their time to their local organizations. The DPR Foundation measures the success and progress of these programs on an annual basis to ensure each grantee stays on mission and is achieving results.

Local coupleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Moyer Foundation camps help children impacted by loss of a loved one and family addiction BY KRISTINA HOUCK Erin Metcalf had one wish: to visit her favorite team, the Seattle Mariners. In 1998, the Make-A-Wish Foundation granted her wish, and the 15-year-old cancer patient went to dinner with Jamie Moyer, at the time a Mariners pitcher and a Seattle fan favorite, and his wife, Karen Moyer. Erin died two years later, and the All-Star pitcher has since retired. But Erinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s memory lives on because of the Moyers. In 2000, the couple launched the Moyer Foundation to provide comfort, hope and healing to children affected by loss and family addiction. Named in memory of Erin, the foundation in 2002 created Camp Erin, a bereavement camp for children. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jamie and I are the type of people who fulfill that wish, but then weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re also thinking, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;How else can we help?â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;? said Karen Moyer, who now lives in Rancho Santa Fe with her family. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We did that as people and now we do that as a foundation.â&#x20AC;? The foundation now has 41 Camp Erin locations across the United States, including one in every Major League Baseball city. More than 10,000 children have attended the camps since the first Camp Erin took place in 2002, in Erinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home state of Washington. In addition to Camp Erin, the foundation launched Camp Mariposa for children affected by addiction in their families. Both camps offer traditional camp activities, as well as education and support that helps children understand and express their feelings, and learn to process what they are going through. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are kids who are distressed because of grief and living with addiction under their roof,â&#x20AC;? said Jamie Moyer, who recently released his first book, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just Tell Me I Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? which was co-authored with Larry Platt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How do you be a voice for yourself? Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to be that voice and educate kids and adults about grief and how it can have a long-lasting, sometimes detrimental effect on your life.â&#x20AC;? In 2013, Camp Erin San Diego held its first session in partnership with San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Elizabeth Hospice for 92 campers. Camp is held once a year, with the next session set for June 6-8, 2014. Run in partnership with San Diego Youth Services, Camp Mariposa San Diego held its first session in August 2013. The camp is held five times each year, with the next sessions Feb. 7-9 and March 14-16, 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When you have the history of 12 years of camps and you have the privilege to visit camps, you know the magic that happens at camps,â&#x20AC;? Karen Moyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It happens immediately when the kids arrive and they come basically as strangers. No matter how tragically they lost their loved one, they bond and empower each other, and are immediately learning and growing, healing and coping with life.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great to have been able to create the camps, but I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even greater to see the kids benefitting from the

tions. The foundation also relies on volunteers. More than 70 volunteers supported Camp Erin San Diego this year. The public will have the opportunity to witness â&#x20AC;&#x153;the magicâ&#x20AC;? in â&#x20AC;&#x153;One Last Hug (and a few smooches): Three Days at Grief Camp,â&#x20AC;? a short film exploring how children grieve. The documentary, which features Camp Erin Los Angeles, is scheduled to air on HBO in 2014. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You get a real sense of what happens â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the magic,â&#x20AC;? Karen Moyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You see these kids before camp and you see them six months after camp and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s beautiful. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Moyer Foundation and our mission is strong and powerful, helping lots of kids here in San Diego and all across the country. It will be for a very, very long time.â&#x20AC;? For more information about the Moyer Foundation, visit www.moyerfoundation.org.

Jamie Moyer said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s exciting watching them grow and learn, and share and make friends â&#x20AC;&#x201D; all the things that take place at camp.â&#x20AC;? It costs about $500 to send a child to camp. Camp sessions are free, so the Moyer Foundation raises funds for programs and initiatives through special events, corporate partnerships and individual dona-

Del Mar author shares how to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;grow healthy thoughtsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; BY KRISTINA HOUCK The â&#x20AC;&#x153;Triangle Houseâ&#x20AC;? is perhaps Del Marâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most famous home. Located off Coast Highway, the uniquely shaped structure has been featured in national magazines and television programs, including HGTVâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Extreme Homes.â&#x20AC;? But it hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always been easy living in the 688-square-foot home, according to Del Mar resident Marlene Dominy. Her husband, architect Lewis Dominy, designed the house. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was his dream to have this house on this little tiny lot,â&#x20AC;? said Dominy, who has been married for 47 years. The couple has two adult sons and one grandson. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were only going to be here for a couple of years. Now, after all these years, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still here. That, in part, gave birth to my book.â&#x20AC;? Recently published by Tate Publishing and Enterprises, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Growing Healthy Thoughtsâ&#x20AC;? is a self-help book that reminds readers about their potential and their acceptance by God. A Los Angeles native, Dominy moved to Del Mar with her husband in 1972.

valuable children of God,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We decided somehow that we get our value from where we live, what we drive and how much money we make. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve seen people become very disappointed when those things do not happen in their life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the book I needed to read. I was starting to go down that negative road myself.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Growing Healthy Thoughtsâ&#x20AC;? is Dominyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first book. The 184-page book is available at tatepublishing.com/bookstore, barnesandnoble.com and amazon.com. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I wrote it as a help for people,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always change your circumstances, but you can change the way you think about them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you know people who are struggling and going through a tough time and need a booster shot, I think it can be helpful. I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do this to make money. I did this because I needed it, and I believe there are other people out there that could benefit from it.â&#x20AC;?

Marlene Dominy As the wife of an award-winning architect, Dominy always dreamed of a big home where she could have room for art and crafts, and space to entertain her family and friends. The couple moved from a large Del Mar home into the Triangle House when it was completed in 1997. With little space for hobbies, Dominy began reading. She also began â&#x20AC;&#x153;plucking pearlsâ&#x20AC;? from her readings and started a journal.

Triangle House. Photo courtesy of domusstudio architecture â&#x20AC;&#x153;Oftentimes I would find the same things repeated coming from different directions and different sources,â&#x20AC;? said Dominy, a longtime member of Solana Beach Presbyterian Church. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My faith is a Christian faith, but Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ve realized it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really matter where youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re coming from. There are certain universal truths out there.â&#x20AC;? From issues with her home to the daily stresses of life, Dominy used journaling as therapy. Most of the time, she said, it is easy for people to get sidetracked and distracted from the true meaning of life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve really lost the ability to see our true identity as

Carmel Valley Skateparkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s popularity continues after five years of great rides BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Skatepark recently celebrated a sick ride â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the five-year anniversary of the park being open in Carmel Valley. On a recent Saturday the facility on El Camino Real grinded to life at 10 a.m. with skaters of all ages on the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s various features, from its banks and steps to the unique deep bowl. Dad David Nelson waited in his car, keeping watch on the young skateboarders heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d ferried to the park, his son and his friends. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids love it, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a really good community, the kids are really friendly and considerate to each other,â&#x20AC;? Nelson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They definitely feel safe and welcome here even though theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re younger.â&#x20AC;? Decked out in the required helmets, the kids practiced tricks and took photos as teenagers skated on other obstacles and adult skaters worked inside the bowl. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been coming here for a year and every time it keeps getting better and better,â&#x20AC;? said Jonathan Polarek, a sixth grader at Torrey Hills Elementary School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My favorite feature is all the drop-ins, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really fun to get wind in your face while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going super fast down hill.â&#x20AC;? Fifth grader Andy Nelson said the first thing he does is go over to the parkâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ramps and grinds the rails. He said he feels that the place is safe and kept clean. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The main reason thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s no graffiti is because of the police station next door, that might have a lot to do with it,â&#x20AC;? Andy Nelson said. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to imagine that the facility that buzzes with activity in the afternoons and early evenings under the lights could be the visitor center the land was originally tapped for. In 2007, the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board heard from skatepark enthusiasts that the board should use its Facilities Benefit Assessment funds to build a park instead; launching a series of public work-

Young skateboarders at the Carmel Valley Skatepark, which has been open for five years. Photos/Karen Billing shops where local skaters designed the park they wanted with Site Design Group of Solana Beach. The 13,500-square-foot facility park opened on Nov. 22, 2008. A big advocate for the park throughout the process was Carmel Valley skater Mark Takahashi. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I drive by the skatepark almost every day, and I see that it gets a lot of use,â&#x20AC;? Takahashi said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It really makes me happy to see kids and adults enjoying the skatepark on a daily basis. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m proud of the work and devotion that all of the early supporters gave so many years ago.â&#x20AC;? The park has also played host to skateboarding contests â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in March it was a stop on the Transworld Skateboardingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Come Up Tour and in August was the site for the Skate-

boarder Magazineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Sun Diego Am Slam. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love it, we wish there were more,â&#x20AC;? said adult skater Mark, who with his friend Steve skateboarded inside the bowl. The two had picked up boards again after about a 30year layoff. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the only place I go.â&#x20AC;? Mark likes the depth of the bowl, which ranges from 6 to 11 feet, one of the deepest in San Diego. Even more than the bowl, he said he likes that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot at the park for all levels of skateboarders from beginners on up. A fellow CV Skatepark enthusiast, young skater Chris Novascone, agreed, giving a strong endorsement. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best park ever,â&#x20AC;? Chris said.

Local kicker Ryan Sanborn selected to play at the 2014 Eastbay Youth All-American Bowl All American Games (AAG), Football University (FBU), and Eastbay Sports, recently announced that kicker Ryan Sanborn, who plays for Torrey Pines Pop Warner and Francis Parker Middle School, has been selected to play at the 2014 Eastbay Youth All-American Bowl, taking place Sunday, Jan. 5, at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas. Sanborn was presented with his official game jersey at Francis Parker Middle School on Dec. 20, 2013. Sanborn was perhaps one of the finest kickers on the field this past year. Sanborn has the physical attributes to play much beyond his current age group and is the nationally top ranked 7th grade kicker as per the National Camp Series rankings. He can be a difference maker on special teams. For the past three years, the nation’s top 7th, 8th, and 9th graders have joined in the activities of the U.S. Army All-American Bowl to compete in the Eastbay Youth All-American Bowl. The Eastbay Youth All American Bowl already has become the most important youth football all-star event in the country, and it was recently the focus of the nationally-syndicated sports show “Sports Stars of Tomorrow.” Many of the top players in the Eastbay Youth All-American Bowl have already received college interest and national attention from media outlets.

Ryan Sanborn — 2014 Eastbay Youth All-American. In January 2014, the Eastbay Youth All-American Bowl will consist of three games: an East vs. West 7th grade game; 8th grade game; and 9th grade game. The games are played in the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, the same field that the U.S. Army All-Americans play on one day before. The Youth Bowls are webcasted live on www.footballuniversity.org and www.allamericangames.tv. Prior to game day, the Eastbay Youth All-Americans’ week consists of practices, a skills competition, and breakout sessions with Hall of Famers, as well as current and former NFL stars and celebrities such as legendary high school football coach Herman Boone. The Youth All-Americans also join the high school U.S. Army All-Americans for the Kickoff Party and are honored during the playing of the U.S. Army All-American Bowl. Several thousand youth all-stars are nominated each year for this elite honor. The selection committee, which consists of Football University’s regional directors and scouts, work year-round with hundreds of local youth football coaches and commissioners who help identify top athletes. The Eastbay Youth All-American Bowl provides the true youth football fan the chance to see the most talented players in the nation before they enter into high school. The Eastbay Youth All-American Bowl gives these future stars a chance to showcase their skills and talents against some of the best young football players in the country.

New Borussia Del Mar Soccer Club to hold tryouts The new soccer club in Del Mar and Carmel Valley, Borussia Del Mar, is holding its inaugural competitive try-outs on Sunday, Jan. 5, and Sunday, Jan. 12, at Solana Highlands Elementary School for boys and girls that will play U-7 through U-10 in the 2014 soccer season. Each Sunday try-out starts at 2:30 p.m. and finishes at 4 p.m. Director Tommy Maurer believes that this is the right time to form teams after a successful 2013 campaign. Borussia Del Mar (or known as BDM) promises to be unique and will focus on development through a training program that features excellent training equipment and a curriculum in tune with player characteristics. Even the try-out and team forming process will be new and different from other local clubs. Borussia Del Mar believes that it takes a while to get to know a player, their level and potential may not be easily identified at the tryout, but may come through after a time period in the BDM training environment. The try-outs will let coaches know if a player is ready for competitive soccer. If this is the case, a spot will be offered on the pool of players at that age. Players will take part in a three-month training period. The training period will expose the players to a technical and tactical curriculum that will allow coaches to develop and assess each player. Additionally, players will have the opportunity to work with different coaches during this phase of the season. BDM had a great year in 2013 — its winter, spring, summer and fall programs gained respect in the local soccer community. The club is growing and it makes sense to add a competitive program to all the wonderful programs, such as the Champions League for Kids, Sunday Spring Soccer, Summer Soccer Camps and a Sunday Fall Season. Borussia Del Mar looks forward to a fun 2014. Solana Highlands Elementary School is located at 3520 Long Run Dr., San Diego, CA 92130.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

Patients have ‘skin in the game’ with health care reform BY CHRIS VAN GORDER, PRESIDENT AND CEO OF SCRIPPS HEALTH Jan. 1 marks the beginning of a mandate under the Affordable Care Act (ACA) for most Americans to obtain health insurance coverage or pay a penalty. The new year also means that no one can be denied coverage because of a pre-existing condition, and more people will qualify for Medi-Cal. Despite implementation issues and other problems with the ACA, its goals are laudable. It is intended to ensure health care coverage for the 48 million uninsured and to rein in the nation’s skyrocketing health care costs, which total more than $3 trillion a year. Health care in this country is already changing and must keep evolving because it’s broken. While it is a crisis, it also presents an opportunity for everyone involved, including patients, to identify areas for improvement. We have to break out of the old paradigm of doctors ordering tests and treatments for patients as an answer to every real or perceived ill. Instead, patients and doctors must partner together to create individualized care plans that make sense, avoid waste and produce the best outcomes. The ACA places more emphasis on wellness and prevention of illness, with hospitals being reserved for the sickest of the sick. Insurance plans now must cover preventive services such as mammograms and annual physical examinations, but the real responsibility lies with the individual. While preventive care will be covered, for example, it will be up to the patient to schedule and complete screening exams and wellness check-ups, which can identify potentially serious illnesses such as cancer in their earliest and most treatable stages. Also, individuals will be encouraged to take inventory of unhealthy lifestyle behaviors, such as a diet high in sugar, fat or junk food, or a lack of exercise. Such behaviors have been proven to contribute to heart disease, diabetes and other preventable illnesses. At Scripps, we have had programs in place since 2006 to encourage our employees to adopt healthier lifestyles, including a smarter diet, regular exercise and a healthy work-life balance. Besides being in step with the spirit of health care reform, it’s the right thing to do for our employees. And physicians can help their patients make the same types of changes. In the near future, innovations will make it easier for patients to partner in their care. The fast-emerging world of digital medicine will bring health care to patients’ homes and even their smartphones, helping them better manage chronic conditions and enhancing their regular doctor visits. While the ACA and its initiatives may not be perfect, it is the law of the land and a step toward addressing the nation’s health care problems. The next steps – and real change – will happen as health care providers and patients work together so the right care is delivered at the right time, in the right place.

Why is it OK to increase traffic in other communities? It’s not Ms. Close of Carmel Valley asks (this newspaper, Dec. 19 issue), “Why is it that it is OK for residents of Carmel Valley to drive to Encinitas and Carmel Mountain and increase traffic in those cities, but we don’t want “traffic” in ours?” I have two answers to that question. The first is that it is not OK to increase automobile traffic anywhere. If you don’t believe in greenhouse gasses and climate change, you at least know that our freeways are becoming extremely congested and that the solution will be the widening of freeways, the taking of private land in places, and the increased acreage of concrete instead of green spaces. The second answer, looking at Carmel Valley in particular, is that it is a planned community with specific zoning, and a road system planned accordingly. The development of One Paseo is proposed to be three or four times the size in square footage than the Community Plan allows for. The retail component is designed to draw traffic from a 10-mile radius increasing the traffic, not just in Carmel Valley, but throughout the region. Of course it is true, as Ms. Close points out, that increased development to the east on Carmel Valley Road has already made traffic worse. That development, however, was within the limits outlined in the Community Plan. Ironically, the Carmel Valley Community Plan also assumed a transit system that was never implemented. Perhaps that is why there is already too much traffic. Diana Scheffler, Torrey Pines Community

The One Paseo Housing Project As an 18-year-resident of Carmel Valley, I want to express my concern about Kilroy’s plan to build 608 residential units as part of the One Paseo mixed-use plan. Although two other plans have been submitted, I have no doubt that Kilroy wants the Reduced Main Street option to be adopted. I want to put the number 608 into perspective. I have found 30 condo and apartment developments in Carmel Valley, north of the 56. The average number of units in these developments is 185. The majority of the developments have between 100 and 199 units. There are six with between 200 and 262 units and one has 316 units. The largest is The Club with 400 units — on 20 acres. One Paseo would be 50 percent larger on only 3 more acres, plus the rest of the development. When Kilroy says “Main Street” and “Heart of Carmel Valley,” what they really mean is that they want to build the largest housing project in Carmel Valley on land currently designated as employment opportunities. This isn’t Smart Growth. It’s over-development and greed. Susan Nelson Carmel Valley

Upon completing his WWII military service, he went ahead with the promise that he made to himself as a rifleman, that he would return to college. The credits that he had gained during military training at Auburn and Illinois Universities, and Penn State College allowed him to complete his undergraduate BA degree, having carried a double major (Psychology and Business Administration at Albright College.) He received a fellowship at Oklahoma State University where he received a Master of Arts degree, and later a Doctorate. But first, he attended the University of Missouri where he received a M. Ed. Degree and then to his home town, Westchester County - N.Y. and attended ivy league Columbia University where he received a Master of Science degree before returning to Oklahoma State for his specialty area of Psychology. Whenever possible, he doubled up on classes to finish his degree requirements quickly. When he talked about the colleges and universities he had attended, he would always seem to be amused at the fact that he disliked elementary school, did poorly in junior high school, and almost flunked out of high school. Despite pre-WWII dislike of school, he did exceptionally well at the undergraduate and graduate school levels. Following completion of his doctoral studies, he accepted a position with New York City’s McCannErickson advertising firm.

Not liking the New York City rat-race and crowded conditions, he accepted a Senior Research Engineer position at Convair’s Atlas Missile where he was a Project Director for several years. He spent his final years of research efforts as a scientist with Point Loma’s Naval Electronics Laboratory. His final assignment was to direct a U.S. Marine riflemen study at Oceanside’s Camp Pendleton. A prolific writer, Bilinski authored a number of technical articles in the Human Factors, ManMachine, and Human Engineering areas. However, he also published less technical articles in sports fishing, several travel articles in local newspapers, and numerous articles on numismatics, including four books on investing in coins. One received a positive review in the San Diego Union’s Book section. Because of his wide interest and writing on numismatics, the San Diego Union described him as an internationally-known numismatic analyst. In addition to being licensed as a California Psychologist, he also held an advanced ham radio operator license, WA6DZT, as well as a Community College Instructor Credential (and was perhaps one of the few people in the developed world to never use a credit card or ATM machine). Dr. Bilinski moved to Point Loma in 1952, and worked as a U.S. Navy Scientist. He was called “C.R.” in the office, and Bob by his friends a Project Director of

Dr. Chester R. Bilinski 1920 – 2013 Dr. Bilinski was born October 12, 1920, in New York’s Westchester County to Veroniqa and William Bilinski who emigrated from Poland. He was active in high

school basketball, football, and track. He entered what was then Penn State College where he was a ‘walk-on’ in their basketball program and lettered in his second year just shortly before he volunteered for WWII military service. A recipient of the Bronze Star, the Combat Infantry Badge, and several campaign medals, he was with the 104th Infantry Division and participated in the fighting for France, Belgium, Holland, and down to Cologne (Germany) on the Rhine River. His rifle company was one of the first units to arrive in Cherbourg by water. Prior to being assigned to the 104th Inf. Division as a rifleman, he was selected for training with a Foreign Area and Language Unit, which required that each member be proficient in at least one foreign language his was Polish. In this endeavor, he received further training at Auburn University and then the University of Illinois. No stranger to California, Dr. Bilinski was stationed at Camp San Luis Obispo, Fort Ord near San Francisco, and at San Diego’s Camp Callan (which is now Torrey Pines Golf Course). He was also on military maneuvers in the Salton Sea area just before leaving for Europe. While on the front lines, he frequently assisted a Military Intelligence unit in the interrogation of POWs and particularly displaced persons. These contacts gained him a transfer out of the infantry and into Military Intelligence School in Le Vesinet, France.

more than 30 major military studies He and his wife were married for 56 years; they became Del Mar residents in 1959. After purchasing acreage near Rancho Santa Fe, he and his wife spent almost five years building their home. The custombuilt home was given a full-page write up in the Sunday Edition of the San Diego Union’s Homes and Garden section in 1969. In the early 1970’s, he became interested in investing in commercial beachfront property, from Oceanside to as far south as San Ysidro. Later he centered his investment interests in residential properties in La Jolla, Ramona, Escondido, Fallbrook and Solana Beach. He and his wife enjoyed hiking and fishing throughout the Southwest, and in particular, in the far northern reaches of Canadian provinces which could only be reached by float plane. Dr. Bilinski departed this life on Friday, October 25, 2013. He is survived by his wife and three children. Private services will be held.

Three TPHS soccer teams win a preseason tournament The 2013 boys soccer season is off to a great start at Torrey Pines with all three teams winning a preseason tournament. Both JV and Varsity squads won their respective Grossmont Tournament flights and the freshman took home the North County championship trophy. Coach Hargreaves said he feels that the program has a great deal of young talent coming through the ranks in spite of the fewest number of freshmen trying out for TP Soccer in his 17-year tenure as head coach. “A winning start is always the dream way to begin the season and having all three squads start as champions is awesome,” Hargreaves said. Coach Hargreaves went on to say that, “All three levels have talent and our program always prides itself on team chemistry and a winning mentality. We represent the school with the highest amount of respect for the legacy of success and quality that has been at Torrey over the years.”

CCA student’s winning script to be produced at Playwrights Project festival Canyon Crest Academy (CCA) student Devyn Krevat, 17, was one of the winners of the California Young Playwrights Contest for ages 18 and under. Playwrights Project will produce its 29th annual festival of “Plays by Young Writers” at The Sheryl and Harvey White Stage in the Conrad Prebys Theatre Center at The Old Globe on March 6-16. The festival will feature winning scripts from its California Young Playwrights Contest for ages 18 and under. Contest winners were selected from 165 submissions by students statewide. Four scripts will receive full professional productions, and five scripts will receive staged readings in this highly regarded festival of new voices. Devyn Krevat won a staged reading of her first play, “Case of the Missing Pencil Tips” in 2007, when she was in sixth grade. Now a senior at Canyon Crest Academy, she’s done it again. This time Devyn’s play “Fairy Tale” will receive a full production. In this smart and humorous tale, the audience sees what happens when a narrator fights for control as the characters hijack his story and these traditional fairy tale characters defy their prescribed roles. All contest submissions were evaluated by theatre professionals who volunteered their time and

Devyn Krevat Photo/Jon Clark expertise. Final judges in the selection process included Deborah Salzer (founder of Playwrights Project), Martin Benson (founding co-artistic director of South Coast Rep), Stephen Metcalfe (director and screenwriter of films such as Pretty Woman and The Marrying Man), and Delicia Turner Sonnenberg (artistic director of MOXIE Theatre). Program Manager and Producer Derek Charles Livingston spearheaded the evaluation process, which focused on a sense of truth, imagination, fresh use of language, and grasp of dramatic structure. All contest participants who requested feedback received individualized written critiques. For more information, visit www.playwrightsproject.org.

Award-winning author Jonathan Maberry thrilled with new lifestyle in Del Mar BY JOE TASH After spending most of his life in Pennsylvania, author Jonathan Maberry absolutely loves his new digs in Del Mar. He receives “hate mail” from his friends back home when he posts photos of himself and his wife walking on the beach, and is reveling in the Southern California lifestyle. “On Christmas Day, I was watching whales and dolphins from my living room. I’m pretty sure I like it a whole lot,” Maberry said. Maberry, 55, moved to Del Mar in late October from Bucks County, Pennsylvania, near Philadelphia, where he grew up in a tough, urban neighborhood. Not only did they desire a warmer climate, but the couple wanted to be close to their son, who moved to Pacific Beach after graduating from college, and to be near the movie and television industry. Although he’s been writing full time since 2006, his resume is anything but typical for a literary type. For many years, he wrote freelance magazine articles while working at such day jobs as a bodyguard, bouncer and self-defense instructor. His first novel, “Ghost Road Blues,” was published in 2006, and he’s now working on his 20th novel. He’s written across such genres as horror, science fiction, mysteries and thrillers, for audiences ranging from children to teenagers to adults. He’s also written comic books, and two of his novels have been optioned for movies. A comic book series he conceived, called “V Wars,” is being considered for a television series. Along the way, he’s picked up accolades such as the Bram Stoker Award for horror writing, and his books have been sold in more than two dozen coun-

Jonathan Maberry tries. His childhood was anything but smooth — he and his siblings were physically abused by their father, and Maberry said he turned to martial arts to defend himself. He also read voraciously as a means of pulling himself out of poverty. “I wanted to get tough enough to survive it and smart enough to get out and that’s what I did,” he said. He credits a middle school librarian with introducing him to a writers group, where he met authors Richard Matheson and Ray Bradbury, both of whom advised and encouraged him. Matheson, in particular, told him to “know more than you are taught,” which led him to hone his critical thinking skills, useful both in life and in his writing. While Maberry did study journalism at Temple University in Philadelphia, he dropped out of college to care for his ailing father, in spite of the abuse he had received as a child. He never went back to complete his degree, but instead continued his education on his own, haunting bookstores and “reading everything.” “Code Zero,” the next novel in Maberry’s Joe Ledger series, comes out in March, and he is planning an event at the Mysterious Galaxy bookstore in San Diego to mark the occasion.

He’s also attending a book signing for a short-story anthology, “Dark Duets,” on Jan. 24 at Mysterious Galaxy, and his new comic book series, “Bad Blood,” was published Jan. 1 by Dark Horse Comics. Patrick Heffernan, operations manager at Mysterious Galaxy, said in an email that Maberry is a “great guy,” whose books are quite popular with the store’s customers. “We are proud to now call ourselves his hometown bookstore,” Heffernan said. Maberry’s books are available in print, e-book and audio editions at bookstores and online booksellers. He writes every day, usually for eight hours, taking regular breaks to post on social media sites. He estimated that he writes about 3,000 words per day, which adds up to about one million words for publication each year. “I believe writer’s block is a myth. You never meet a journalist with writer’s block,” he said. Maberry weaves elements of his own life into his work, as well as scientific themes. To research his books, he’s been known to go on ride-alongs with law enforcement, consult with military officials, and interview scientists. “People know my science is hard core and it’s accurate,” he said. When he’s not typing on his computer or iPad, he enjoys walking on the beach with his wife, Sara Jo West, and the couple’s rescue dog, Rosie. He’s also on the road a lot, speaking at writers conferences, school libraries, and conventions for fans of horror, fantasy, science fiction and mystery books. He hopes to participate in next year’s Comic-Con event in San Diego, one of the largest gatherings of its kind in the U.S. Visit Maberry’s website/blog and sign up for his free newsletter at www.jonathanmaberry.com; www.facebook. com/jonathanmaberry; www.twitter.com/jonathanmaberry

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DIANA SAENGER In 1961, Kurt Vonnegut had a short story published in the Saturday Evening Post. That story, along with two other Vonnegut gems — “Long Walk to Forever,” and “Go Back to Your Precious Wife and Son” — is the basis of the comedy “Who Am I This Time?” written by Aaron Posner and onstage at North Coast Repertory Theatre, Jan. 8-Feb. 2. “I chose this play to open the year with because it’s charming, moving, funny, clear and life-affirming,” said NCRT Artistic Director David Ellenstein. “It’s all about love and taking care of the people you care about — really appropriate for these current times.” In “Who Am I This Time?” extremely shy, nondescript, small-town fellow Harry Nash agrees to perform in a local amateur theater where he literally becomes each character he plays. When he meets a female fellow actor, who is much like himself, they find a mutual attraction. Andrew Barnicle directs the show. “Andrew has a great track record and is of the

Cuisine as fresh as the sea and sky at Board & Brew BY KELLEY CARLSON oard & Brew is more than 30 years old, and it’s showing no signs of slowing down. In fact, the sandwich shop (with locations in Del Mar, Carlsbad and San Clemente) will soon be expanding into Rancho Santa Margarita and Scripps Ranch. The flagship site in Del Mar continues to draw crowds, from business executives and professional athletes dressed casually to students and locals just in from the beach. About half of them call or text in their orders and pick them up to go, many opting for a picnic in the scenic community, according to founder/owner Tom Powers. The rest gather on the front and back patios and inside the restaurant decorated with wood paneling and surfboards. Tables are high demand, so Powers recommends having a person save a seat while another orders at the counter. Perhaps one reason Board & Brew has become a staple in Del Mar over the years is due to its use of fresh ingredients. There are no processed meats, according to Powers — the roast beef is top-of-the-line certified Angus and cooked on-site. Chicken is brought in each day and marinated overnight in a special blend of herbs and spices.

Guests place their orders at the counter.

■ This week’s recipe:

Board & Brew’s House Potato Salad Specially made breads from local bakers are also part of the daily deliveries. And care is taken to obtain high-quality vegetables, such as vine-ripened tomatoes; green leaf lettuce; hothouse cucumbers; Hass avocados; and strong, spicy jalapeños that aren’t canned. Among Board & Brew’s specialty sandwiches is its signature Turkado, composed of a thick stack of turkey breast and jack cheese,

Powers’ favorite is the California Delight, featuring turkey breast, cream cheese, sunflower seeds, mayo, tomato, lettuce and sprouts on slightly sweet squaw bread. There are hot sandwiches served on toasted baguettes as well, such as the Chicken Club with bacon, melted jack cheese, mayo, tomato and lettuce.

The Green Salad consists of lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, eggs and grilled chicken.

Powers said the spicy Baja Chicken is the restaurant’s best and most unique sandwich — it’s topped with grilled onions, jalapeño peppers, melted jack cheese, mayo, tomato and lettuce. House salads are also offered at Board & Brew, including a Caesar with grilled chicken breast, parmesan cheese and homemade croutons; and the colorful Green Salad that combines green-leaf lettuce, tomatoes, red onions, cucumbers, hard-boiled eggs, croutons and a choice of grilled chicken or tuna. A special house-made, creamy “sweet and sour” sauce (not to be confused with the type used in Chinese cuisine) can be used to dress both the sandwiches and salads. At first taste, it’s sweet, but there’s a bit of a tangy aftertaste. It’s the most requested item at Board & Brew, Powers said. To accompany the sandwiches and salads, there are several options of sides: the house potato salad and assorted flavors of “dirty” potato chips (in which the potato slices are not washed) and chocolate-chip cookies. And don’t forget the beverage: Board & Brew sells fountain drinks, freshly brewed ice tea, an array of juices, and bottled beers from Mexico and the San Diego-based Ballast Point. ◆

On warm weather days, customers often dine in Board & Brew’s patios in the front (left) or back. PHOTOS BY KELLEY CARLSON

The ‘Top 10’ health concerns of women BY DR. ELIZABETH KABACK, SCRIPPS HEALTH What health issues are most important for women? While many women worry about breast cancer, heart disease presents a greater danger. Moreover, adequate stress management, a healthy heart and cardiovascular system plays a role in well health in many other conditions. 1. Heart Disease Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death for women over age 25, yet only 13 percent of women consider heart disease to be a threat to their health. Be proactive in caring for your heart health: quit smoking, control blood pressure, lose excess weight, eat a hearthealthy diet and get plenty of exercise. Women like men can have classic symptoms of chest discomfort with radiation to the arm, back and shoulder with associated shortness of breath or more often unlike men, atypical symptoms that include persistent indigestion,

unusual fatigue, nausea or pain between the shoulder blades. Make a point of discussing heart disease with your physician and report any concerns, even if they seem minor. 2. Stroke Like heart disease, stroke is often believed to be more of a problem for men. However, more women die from stroke each year than men. The risk of stroke steadily increases after age 45. Family history of stroke, diabetes, high cholesterol, high blood pressure, heart disease, and atrial fibrillation can also increase risk of stroke. 3. Cancer The three most common concerns in women include breast, lung and colorectal cancers. Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths among women, followed by breast, colorectal and gynecological cancer. The most important preventive measure for any cancer is to quit smoking, eat a diet low in fat and high in vegetables and fruit

and get plenty of exercise. Regular screening exams such as mammograms, colonoscopies and Pap smears, can help identify some cancers in their early stages when they are most likely to be successfully treated. 4. Diabetes More than 12 million U.S. women age 20 or older have diabetes. This increases the risk of serious health problems such as high blood pressure, cardiovascular disease, vision loss, kidney disease, nerve damage, and amputation. People with diabetes are two to four times more likely to have heart disease or a stroke. Maintaining normal weight is critical in preventing and reversing diabetes. Simple changes in diet and lifestyle along with medical treatment, can reverse the health risks associated with diabetes and can be managed. 5. Alzheimer’s Alzheimer’s is the sixth leading cause of death in the U.S. It affects more women than men, representing nearly two-thirds of Ameri-

cans with the disease. According to Alzheimer’s Association, growing evidence suggests a close link between brain health and overall health of the heart , blood vessels and inflammation. Since the brain receives nutrients and oxygen from blood, a healthy cardiovascular system helps to ensure that plenty of nutrient-rich blood reaches the brain. 6. Depression According to The National Institute of Mental Health, depression affects about 12 million women each year — twice as many as men. While everyone has “down” days once in a while, persistent feelings of sadness, guilt, hopelessness or loss of interest in activities you normally enjoy can all be signs of depression. Treatment can range from lifestyle changes such as mindfulness to “talk therapy” to medications or a combination of them all for an integrative approach; talk to your physician if your mood doesn’t improve. 7. Infertility Infertility refers to the

inability to conceive a child or carry a pregnancy to term. More than 10 percent of women age 15-44 have infertility problems. Because there are a number of factors that can interfere with fertility, the first step is a medical evaluation to determine possible causes. With treatment, more than two-thirds of women have successful pregnancies. Believe it or not some of the same issues that lead to diabetes, heart and cardiovascular disease and depression lead to problems with fertility. 8. Menopause As your menstrual periods come to an end, you may also experience other changes such as drier skin, hot flashes, mood swings and hair loss. The drop in estrogen may raise your risk for heart disease, Alzheimer’s and osteoporosis as well. Talk with your doctor about your symptoms and whether you should consider natural or medical hormone replacement therapy. 9. Osteoporosis After age 50, as many

PAGE B7

as half of all women will break a bone due to osteoporosis. However, osteoporosis is not inevitable. Tobacco and alcohol use earlier in life can increase risk, as can being underweight and lack of weight bearing activities. Women should strive to maintain a healthy weight through weight-bearing exercise and a well-balanced diet that includes adequate amounts of calcium as well as vitamin D. 10. Autoimmune Diseases Autoimmune diseases such as fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome and rheumatoid arthritis result from the body’s immune system attacking its own healthy tissues. About 75 percent of autoimmune diseases occur in women. The causes of these diseases are unknown, but many can be managed through proper diagnosis and treatment.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Grace-Ful Living Home Furnishings now open in Encinitas BY KRISTINA HOUCK Grace-Ful Living Home Furnishings opened just three months ago in Encinitas, but owner Mark Matheson has been in the furniture business for more than 20 years. After working at a Los Angeles-based furniture store for several years, he opened his own store, Metropolis, in San Diego in 1993. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We had a really good reputation and we were around for years,â&#x20AC;? Matheson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of people know us from that store.â&#x20AC;? The furniture business was one of the industries hit hardest by the recession. Metropolis, which first opened in Hillcrest and later opened in Encinitas, closed its second store by the beginning of 2010. When the economy began bouncing back, so did Matheson. In 2012, he opened Grace-Ful Living Home Furnishings in North Park. Named after his 10-year-old daughter, Grace, the store relocated to Encinitas in the fall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There seemed to be a niche that wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t being filled: a price-driven store that was style driven as well,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Most moderate- to low-end stores look moderate- to lowend. I wanted to give the feel of a high-end store with moderate pricing.â&#x20AC;? The new showroom is larger than 5,000 square feet. Specializing in bedroom, living room and dining room furniture, the storeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ceilings have been stripped down to the rafters to highlight the collection featuring distressed metal, exotic wood and other hard surfaces combined with fabrics. With the catchphrase â&#x20AC;&#x153;Style You Can Afford,â&#x20AC;? Matheson enjoys looking for trends and arranging the pieces on the floor. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have a feel for it,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s being able to put the whole picture together that works for me.â&#x20AC;? Matheson didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t always work in the furniture business. He worked as an analyst at a Certified Public Accounting firm for five years before he transitioned to the industry. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really like being an analyst at a CPA firm. I wanted to be an entrepreneur,â&#x20AC;? Matheson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I met this guy just out of happenstance. He had a very successful store,

but he needed help organizing it. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was very talented design-wise; he just needed help-business wise. He taught me the furniture industry and I taught him how to run his business better.â&#x20AC;? After six years at Los Angeles-based Civilization, Matheson returned to his hometown of San Diego to open his own furniture store. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m glad I learned about numbers because it helps me run this business and it kept me open longer than most of the stores in the 2008-2009 period,â&#x20AC;? said Matheson, who lives in Mission Hills. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m passionate about this business.â&#x20AC;? Grace-Ful Living Home Furnishings is located at 1044 North El Camino Real, Suite B in Encinitas.

‘Naughty List’ released by North Pole Patrol— TPHS grad thriving as songwriter in Nashville What happens when three hit country songwriters get together to write and record some brand new Christmas music? A fresh, big band sound that’s a cross between The Andrews Sisters, Ella Fitzgerald and Rosemary Clooney, of course. Rancho Santa Fe native Jennifer Denmark, Emily Shackelton and Melissa Fuller affectionately call themselves the North Pole Patrol. Their debut single, “Naughty List,” recently shipped to radio. Denmark is better known to locals as Jennifer Johnson, who attended school in Rancho Santa Fe from fourth grade to eighth, and then graduated from Torrey Pines High School in 1997. She moved to Nashville in 2007 to follow her dream to be a songwriter. She is currently enjoying that dream at Curb Records. “We all love Christmas, and particularly Christmas music, but we noticed that modern Christmas songs just sound like pop songs,” said founding North Pole Patrol member Denmark. “When we think of Christ-

er and engineer Chad Carlson (Taylor Swift, Trisha Yearwood, Jewel). Fans can add the single to their future Christmas collection at iTunes, Amazon, iHeartRadio, Spotify and other online outlets. North Pole Patrol released a six-song EP of original Christmas music in 2010 called “Season of Love,” which is available at Amazon and iTunes. A full album of original Christmas music is in the works, and will be released next year. Denmark, who co-wrote the new Hunter Hayes single, “Everybody’s Got Somebody But Me,” with Dave Brainard and Hayes, has been performing in trios since she was 13 years old. From doo-wop to country, she has played it all in three-part harmony. Her love of big band-era music stemmed from dinner at a steakhouse when she was 15 years old. “I remember hearing Ella (Fitzgerald) playing through the restaurant, and I was so enamored with her voice I had the waitress go find out who was singing,” said Denmark, who is currently ranked No. 42 on the Top 60 Country Songwriters Chart. By noon the following day, Denmark owned every Fitzgerald album Tower Records had on its shelves. Ten years later, Denmark found herself writing country music full-time in Nashville. In November 2009, she wrote her first Christmas song, “Candy Cane Lane,” while in traffic on her way home from work. The song was recorded by hit Christian group Point of Grace in 2010 and became the catalyst for the creation of the North Pole Patrol.

Our goal was to create modern Christmas songs with throwback lyrics and melodies to create that timeless feel similar to the songs everyone has been singing along with for decades. I think we did that.” “We also wanted to make the songs relatable to holiday traditions people actually practice,” Shackelton added. “Most people don’t roast chestnuts on an open fire, so we added catchy, sing-songy woo’s and ooh’s to sing along to while ‘Bakin’ Cookies.’” “Naughty List” was written by Denmark, Fuller and Tim Jackson, and produced by Grammy Award-winning produc-

La Jolla Music Catch some zzz’s with these sleepy bites Society presents bedtime snack for a peaceful nia. The Kitchen Sweet dreams, honey slumber. Patti LuPone Jan. 31 Shrink Some of the natural Other tryptophan powerhouses that might help sugars in honey, including at Balboa Theatre La Jolla Music Society continues the new Cabaret Series with Patti LuPone at the Balboa Theatre on Friday, Jan. 31 at 8 p.m. Legendary actress and singer Patti LuPone “generates more raw excitement than any other performer on the Broadway and cabaret axis” (The New York Times). In her new, critically-acclaimed concert Far Away Places, the two-time Tony Award winner (Gypsy, Evita) shares her penchant for wanderlust by taking us on a musical journey with thrilling renditions of songs by an eclectic list of songwriters which include Stephen Sondheim, Cole Porter, Willie Nelson, Kurt Weill and Edith Piaf. Tickets are $27-$87 and are available through the La Jolla Music Society ticket office, (858) 459-3728 or online at www.LJMS.org. A founding member of John Houseman’s The Acting Company, LuPone starred on Broadway and on tour in productions including The Three Sisters, The School for Scandal and Edward II, and she earned Tony and Drama Desk nominations for her work in the musical The Robber Bridegroom. After making her film debut in 1978’s The King of the Gypsies, LuPone rose to international stardom portraying the title role in the smash Andrew Lloyd Webber musical Evita, a role which earned her both Tony and Drama Desk honors in 1980. She played the role of Fantine in the original production of Les Miserables, a performance which won an Olivier Award, the first ever given to an American actress. After winning her second Drama Desk Award in 1988 for her work in Anything Goes, LuPone turned to television, starring for four seasons in the ABC drama Life Goes On. Her onewoman show Patti LuPone on Broadway earned an Outer Critics Circle Award in 1996; the album Matters of the Heart followed in 1999. LuPone, last appeared on Broadway opposite Debra Winger in the new David Mamet play The Anarchist.

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN “The best cure for insomnia is to get a lot of sleep.” — W. C. Fields

you sleep tight (especially with a generous side of carbs) include turkey, notorious for causing Thanksgiving naps, elk and crustaceans. Whip up a pot of seafood cioppino, lobster cocktail, scallop stir-fry or Spanish paella, and dream on. Green sleeping machines Some mighty leafy greens are packed with calcium, which stimulates the brain to use tryptophan for the manufacture of snoozeinducing melatonin. So go green with a warm wilted spinach salad, sweet and sour mustard greens, kale confetti with pomegranate seeds and toasted almonds, or an arugula pesto for burger toppings. …Or turn over a new leaf with lethargic-triggering lettuce leaves containing lactucarium to lull you to sleep. Liquid lullabies Your grandma’s triedand-true sleep remedy — a warm glass of milk before bedtime — still does the trick, since the calcium and tryptophan in dairy products help dial up melatonin. A soothing cup of chamomile tea will also trigger a restful night by boosting the body’s glycine, a natural sedative to relax tense nerves and muscles. Passion fruit tea will accomplish sleep-like-a-baby slumber thanks to the Harman alkaloids found in the tea’s flowers. Tart cherry juice, too, has been found to hike melatonin levels for putting the skids on insom-

glucose, fructose and maltose boost insulin levels, which in turn enable tryptophan to flow into the brain with greater ease. Dissolve a spoonful of honey in a cup of chamomile tea for a double dose of drowsy. Calming carbs Studies have shown that certain carbs contribute to some serious shut-eye, especially jasmine rice, mashed potatoes, oatmeal, pretzels and corn chips. Once again, these moderate to high-glycemic foods hike insulin levels, prodding tryptophan to enter the brain bringing on zzz’s. Bedtime B’s Crank up your B6s, such as wild caught salmon, halibut and raw garlic to manufacture melatonin and serotonin. Cheesy garlic toast, teriyaki salmon burgers or a halibut fillet dressed in aioli sauce will do the tranquilizing trick, too. Nighty Night Nuts Load up on assorted nuts before retiring for the night, especially hearthealthy tryptophan and magnesium-rich almonds, walnuts rife with tryptophan and melatonin, flaxseeds, an omega-3 mood elevator, and pistachios, a B6 powerhouse. Mellow yellow A bedtime banana is a perfect package with muscle-relaxing magnesium, and mellowing melatonin and serotonin. Slice on a piece of whole-what toast slathered with almond butter for a soothing, hit the sack snack.

Living in a stress-filled electromagnetic soup has created a nation of insomniacs. According to the Centers for Disease Control, between 50 and 70 million American adults suffer from sleep disorders. If you’re among them, consider making the new year the time to muffle the static in your head, ease tense muscles, trigger sleep hormones (serotonin and melatonin) to flow freely and get your long overdue beauty sleep. Let’s toss the sleeping pills and indulge in soporific foods. Pleasant dreams. Hit the hay with hummus Chickpeas, the main ingredient in hummus, contain a load of tryptophan, an amino acid your body uses to make the neurotransmitters serotonin and melatonin, the hormone that regulates sleep and circadian patterns. So chow down on some whole-wheat pita chips and hummus as a For dinner enjoy this Mediterranean mix of arugula, chickpeas and honey that’ll ease you into la la land like an edible lullaby.

Mediterranean Lullaby Salad 14 ounces (2 packages) wild arugula 1 cup chickpeas, drained 1/2 red onion, diced 1 teaspoon honey 1/4 cup champagne vinegar 1 teaspoon lemon juice 1/4 cup walnut, almond or olive oil 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard powder 1/4 cup roasted pecans or walnuts, chopped Sea salt and pepper to taste Method: Sauté the onion in the oil until translucent. Add the chickpeas, vinegar, honey, lemon, mustard powder, salt and pepper, and heat on medium until warm. Sprinkle the nuts on arugula, and toss with the warm dressing. Serve immediately.

Local company launches home maintenance app BY KRISTINA HOUCK Need to recycle your Christmas tree? There’s an app for that. From recycling Christmas trees to plunging toilets, a new mobile app allows San Diegans to book in-home services on-demand from professionals with the push of a button. “I think it’s user-friendly for consumers and providers,” said Jeremy Worley, owner of JC Worley Plumbing. “I’ve got a lot of business through HouseCall and I think that this coming year is going to be even better.” HouseCall lists home maintenance services in 20 categories, including carpet cleaning, landscaping, painting and plumbing. During the holiday season, HouseCall pros dressed as Buddy the Elf to deliver, setup and recycle Christmas trees. Worley is one of 35 service providers available at a touch of a button. Having just launched in September, there have already been 1,500 downloads, said CEO and CoFounder Ian Heidt. He and four of his former Qualcomm colleagues teamed up to create HouseCall. “We loved all those services that took what smartphones were really good at and then went into some old stodgy industry and made the process a lot easier for everyone,” said Heidt, who referred to Uber, an app that connects users with drivers at the tap of a button. “We sold software technologies to a lot of those application developers and we realized that those are the guys that are in the mobile industry that are doing something really interesting. The technology is important, but it’s not what people really care about. They care if you can take an experience and make it better.” The House Call team interviews every service provider. Therefore, Heidt said homeowners don’t need to scroll through online reviews like they do with Angie’s List or Yelp. Instead, HouseCall users select the type of service they need, select a service provider and pay a typically fixed-price charge. Listings include a picture profile, ratings and pricings. “We wanted people to have as much information as possible to make a better decision than if they were just randomly searching online,” Heidt said. HouseCall offers an app for homeowners and another for service providers. For professionals, the app includes tools for customer relationship management, scheduling, payment and billing software. Both apps are free and available for iOS. Homeowners can also access HouseCall on the Internet. “With HouseCall, we have a lot of other people who do different things,” said Worley, who has been a plumber for 21 years. “We can refer jobs to other people, and I get referrals from them. We can work together — kind of like a family, which is really awesome — and it doesn’t cost you any-
