Planning Commission delays One Paseo vote to Oct. 16

BY KAREN BILLING After nearly five hours of public testimony on One Paseo, the San Diego Planning Commission voted Oct. 2 to continue the item for discussion and deliberation to its Thursday, Oct. 16, meeting.

The meeting will begin at 9 a.m. and no further public testimony will be taken — the board will aim to make a recommendation to send to the City Council for the final decision.

A recommendation must have the votes of four of the seven planning commissioners, although two have recused themselves due to financial interests in the project.

City staff has recommended approval of the project.

Hundreds of people filled out speaker slips to speak, and the chambers were filled with supporters in stickers and opponents in

buttons, many wielding signs with messages such as “Save Carmel Valley.”

“So often we don’t get the kind of input we would like,” commissioner Theresa Quiroz said. “Thank you so much for coming down and giving us so much great information so we can make the right decision.”

Those who spoke against One Paseo included Carmel Valley residents, business owners, representatives from the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board, the Torrey Pines Community Planning Board, Del Mar Highlands Town Center, opposition group What Price Main Street and Bike San Diego.

“We’re not afraid of density, we welcome it — but it must make sense,” said Chris Moore on behalf of the Carmel Valley planning board. “There are two very serious environmental impacts that are significant See ONE PASEO, page 21

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Drivers will have to slow down in Del Mar after council members voted unanimously at the Oct. 6 meeting to reduce the speed limits on two segments along Camino del Mar. The move is the result of a speed survey conducted in conformance with the California Vehicle Code, which requires surveys every five to seven years, or after significant changes to the city’s roadways. Although the last citywide survey was conducted in 2012 and remains in compliance, recent changes to Camino del Mar in the Beach Colony prompted the city to update its traffic survey for that specific segment.

The city recently restriped Camino del Mar between 9th and 11th Street to include on-street parking. A new sidewalk was also constructed on the west side of Camino del Mar. According to the survey, which was conducted by RBF Consulting, changes improved pedestrian access, increased parking activity and widened bicycle lanes, which also resulted in reduced speed.

The average speeds along Camino del Mar from San Dieguito Bridge to 27th Street and from 27th Street to Coast Boulevard have decreased by 3 mph and 1 mph respectively, See SPEED, page 2

New Scripps science program takes students beyond the classroom

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Through the Scripps Research Institute’s new Science Saturday program, local students are going beyond the classroom and outside the textbook to learn about science.

The program invites local high school students to the campus for special lectures and lab tours. Two hundred students are participating in the inaugural program, including about 30 from Casa de Amistad, a Solana Beach-based organization dedicated to fostering education and character development for local underrepresented children.

“Scripps is one of the top research institutes in the nation, and it’s right in our own backyard,” said Nicole Mione-Green, Casa de Amistad’s program director. “Ex-

DM awards contract for Shores Park plan Next workshop on Del Mar’s new city hall

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Seven years after deciding to purchase Del Mar Shores Park, the city is another step closer to establishing a plan for the site. In a 4-0 vote, with Mayor Lee Haydu absent, the Del Mar City Council awarded a $150,000 contract to Schmidt Design Group to produce a park master plan. “This is a significant point in our effort to do our Shores master planning,� said Councilman Terry Sinnott. “We’re excited about this milestone, and we’re anxious to get started with the advisory committee and the community as a whole.�

Sinnott and Councilwoman Sherryl Parks serve as council liaisons to the Shores Advisory Committee, which the council established in February. While Schmidt Design Group prepares the plan, the committee will provide oversight on the process and community input.

In March, the city issued a request for proposals for a consultant to develop a park master plan. The city received proposals from 10 firms, and of those, the Shores Advisory Committee interviewed four. After the interviews, the committee unanimously recommended the council hire Schmidt Design Group.

Based in San Diego, Schmidt Design Group has 31 years of experience with park master planning and park development

projects. Some of the company’s local projects are the Coastal Rail Trail in Solana Beach, Cottonwood Creek Park in Encinitas and Ocean Air Park in the Torrey Del Mar community. “I’m looking forward very much to working with you and the entire community of Del Mar,� said owner Glen Schmidt. “We specialize in reaching out to communities and designing spaces that are really special for each community. Really, our objective is not to have a preconceived notion of what will happen on that piece of land, but to listen to all of you, to listen to members of the community and create something that’s very special for Del Mar.�

The council voted in August 2007 to buy the $8.5 million property from the school district, with the intent to preserve open space and recreational uses, continue operating The Winston School, and initiate a master plan process. The long-range plan will guide the development of the 5.3-acre park along Camino del Mar. The Winston School is on 1.8 acres of leased land. From organized sports to offleash dog use, community members have a variety of ways they want to use the remaining space.

The master plan is expected to take 1218 months to complete, according to city staff.

continued from page 1

according to the report. Therefore, the report recommended the city reduce the speed limit from 35 mph to 30 mph on Camino del Mar between the San Dieguito Bridge and 27th Street, and from 35 mph to 25 mph on Camino del Mar between 27th Street and Coast Boulevard — and the council agreed in a 4-0 vote with Mayor Lee Haydu absent. “It’s positive that the improvements that have been made on the sidewalks and the streetscape in that area have resulted in a safer speed limit and calming effect of the traffic,� said Councilman Terry Sinnott. “That’s very positive and it gives us hope for the future in other areas of the city.�

and civic center to be held Oct. 27

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Community members will have another opportunity Oct. 27 to provide input on how Del Mar’s new city hall and civic center should look. To prepare for the city’s third city hall planning workshop, the Del Mar City Council on Oct. 6 narrowed a list of concepts that could replace the deteriorating facilities at 1050 Camino del Mar. Carrier Johnson Architects presented seven concepts, each featuring a 9,250-square-foot city hall, 3,200-squarefoot town hall and 15,000-square-foot plaza, but varying parking options. Most of the concepts also included commercial and/or residential space. “They are not designs,� reminded Kathleen Garcia, the city’s planning and community development director. “They are just tests of programs. None of these have gone through the rigorous design process that will have a tremendous amount of community input.�

After hearing and reviewing multiple studies, issuing a citywide survey and holding two community workshops, the council in June directed staff to begin the master planning process for a new city hall. Since then, Carrier Johnson Architects worked with staff and council liaisons to prepare conceptual site plans, which council members were tasked with evaluating during the Oct. 6 meeting.

While discussing which concepts to further explore, Councilwoman Sherryl Parks and Councilman Don Mosier pointed out that community members previously expressed they want the new site to be a gathering space.

During the second workshop on June 9, residents had mixed opinions on whether the city should have commercial space or

residential housing on the site, but many liked the idea of using the space for civic and cultural uses. “So I think we have to listen to what we heard,� Mosier said. “They want a vital, interesting place.�

But Councilman Terry Sinnott reminded his colleagues that the community does not yet know the potential costs for even just a basic municipal program.

Therefore, the council asked the consultant and staff to further study and develop cost estimates for several of the options — from a basic municipal program with a city hall, town hall and plaza, to the necessary buildings along with 3,400 square feet of commercial space and six townhomes with garages.

In addition, staff will also bring back cost estimates for a concept proposed by locals Jim Watkins and Kit Leeger, who voluntarily created a design for a new city hall and civic center.

Like the other options, the concept by the father-daughter duo proposes a 15,000-square-foot plaza. Unlike the concepts by Carrier Johnson Architects, however, the pair’s option features a smaller city hall and slightly larger town hall at 8,450 square feet and 3,788 square feet, respectively. Their concept also features much more commercial space at 13,600 square feet, seven townhomes and 168 parking stalls, with all but four of the spaces required parking.

Staff is expected to present construction costs and a financial analysis during the Oct. 20 council meeting.

The Oct. 27 workshop begins at 6 p.m. at the Del Mar Communications Center, 240 10th Street. For more information, call 858755-9313 or visit www.delmar.ca.us/466/October-27-2014-Planning-Workshop.

NORTH COAST - OCTOBER 9, 2014 - PAGE A3

Local utilities and fire agencies finalize arrangement to improve fire response in North County Olivenhain Municipal Water District and San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) announced Oct. 6 that they have reached an agreement to stage a firefighting helicopter on a currently unused pad adjacent to OMWD’s David C. McCollom Water Treatment Plant on days of elevated fire risk through the 2014 fire season, improving fire response capacity in North County.

SDG&E is currently under contract with the City of San Diego Fire-Rescue Department to provide helicopters to increase regional firefighting capabilities during the 2014 fire season. In order to improve regional coverage, officials from SDG&E, the City of San Diego FireRescue Department, and Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District established that it would be beneficial to stage the helicopter nearer North County, which was heavily affected by the May 2014 fires.

A graded area at the David C. McCollom Water Treatment Plant was identified as an ideal location at which to stage the firefighting helicopter due to its central location and relative distance from residential areas.

Ed Sprague, OMWD board treasurer stated: “OMWD’s role during wildfires is generally to make sure that water continues to flow to hydrants, homes, and businesses. But recently, we’ve been fortunate to have the opportunity to work with SDG&E and the fire agencies here today to take a more active role in firefighting efforts by hosting equipment that can drastically reduce response times for our customers and for our facilities.”

“The unseasonable wildfires in May in North County certainly underlined the importance of regional wildfire resources — no matter where or when they might be needed,” said John Sowers, vice president of electric distribution operations for SDG&E. “We are pleased to be able to provide the Type II helicopter to enhance the county’s overall fire preparedness and aerial response efforts and to make our communities safer.”

Added Mike Gibbs, deputy fire chief for the Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District: “This partnership will not only benefit our fire district’s mission, but also the mission of all North County fire departments, as this regional helicopter will be available to these agencies when they are impacted by a wildland fire.”

After fire season has concluded, the agencies intend to revisit the partnership with an eye toward extending the arrangement beyond 2014.

Man sentenced for involvement in a series of bank robberies

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE An ex-con who pleaded guilty to six bank robbery counts for a series of heists in San Diego County was sentenced Oct. 3 to 20 years in state prison.

Robert Anthony Hodge’s motion to withdraw his admissions was denied by Judge Peter Deddeh before the sentence was pronounced.

Authorities said Hodge was arrested in Mexico following a hold-up near University Town Centre in which an accomplice was shot by a security guard.

Casey Allen Wilson, who was shot in the face and arm after threatening a teller with a stun gun, ran out to a car being driven by Hodge and was taken to a hospital. Wilson, 28, pleaded guilty to charges stemming from two robberies and was sentenced to five years in prison.

Laura Elshire, 43, who was captured inside the Wells Fargo bank branch, pleaded guilty to robbery and was imprisoned for 19 years.

San Diego police Detective DeWayne Glazewski testified last year that Hodge confessed to his role in several bank robberies dating back to 2012 in El Cajon, Santee, La Jolla, Carmel Valley and 4S Ranch.

Investigators dubbed it the “Dum Dum” series because a jar of lollipops was taken during one of the hold-ups.

Hodge was sentenced to 11 years in prison for the robberies, and an additional nine years for various prior convictions, including possessing a weapon in prison.

CERT volunteers needed, classes to be held Local residents are being asked to participate in a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) training to become disaster workers. The classes are free and open to all residents or employees of Del Mar, Encinitas, Rancho Santa Fe and Solana Beach who are 18 years or older. CERT members are trained in basic life- and property-saving skills in the event of a major disaster when professional services have not yet arrived or are overwhelmed.

CERT training is designed to prepare you to help yourself, your family, and your neighbors in the event of a catastrophic disaster. Because emergency services personnel will not be able to help everyone immediately, you can make a difference by using the CERT training to save lives and protect property.

The next CERT training begins at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 5, at the Encinitas Community Center, Room 142B, SE Corner of Encinitas Blvd. and Balour Drive, Encinitas.

For details and to sign up, contact Arnie Lewin at alewin@encinitasca.gov, or Eric Phillips, Engineer/Paramedic, Solana Beach Fire Department, at 858-720-4412 or ephillips@cosb. org.

Meet the Del Mar Union School District board candidates Four candidates — Josh Clorfeine, Kristin Gibson, Doug Rafner and Scott Wooden — are vying for three seats on the Del Mar Union School District board in the Nov. 4 election. On pages 4 and 5 are answers to questions submitted by this newspaper to the candidates, as well as biographical information on each candidate. The candidates are listed in alphabetical order.

Josh Clorfeine Occupation (current or former): Business attorney Years living in the Del Mar School District: Six Community activities: I’ve been both an assistant coach and coach with the Sharks, I volunteer at school, I’m a member of the PTA and the DMSEF Honor Roll, and I’ve been following the important challenges facing our district and participating in the dialogue about potential solutions with fellow parents and the administration.

Education: Cornell University, B.A., and USC Law School, J.D. 1. Why are you running for a seat on the Del Mar School board?

My daughter is in fifth grade and has been part of this amazing district since kindergarten and my son is just a first-grader. I’m grateful for the quality education and wonderful school experience my children enjoy.

I’m passionate about maintaining and improving that

Josh Clorfeine experience for all the children in our district.

We are fortunate to live in a community that values education and wants to be involved in their children’s education. Nowhere is this evidenced more than in our volunteerism and community generosity in funding instruction in science, music, art, technology and PE through the DMSEF. But we can’t rest on our laurels, especially in these times of budgetary uncertainty. In order to maintain and improve our quality school experience, we need to capitalize on those values and de-

sire to be engaged.

I’m excited to share my passion, perspective and experience with the community and board to help make this happen!

2. What do you think are the biggest issues facing the Del Mar Union School District?

Rather than issues, I feel we’re currently presented with challenges and opportunities.

We are in an enviable position as a basic aid district with high property values and great community support. But these characteristics also introduce variability into our funding outlook since we’re dependent on local property taxes and community generosity.

We face real challenges and opportunities. I feel the most important include our budget, fostering communication and community involvement, and strengthening long-term planning.

We need to be fiscally responsible, prioritize expenditures in accordance See CLORFEINE, page 22

Kristin Gibson Occupation (current or former): • Del Mar Union School District Governing Board Member • Faculty, San Diego State University, School of Teacher Education • Educational Consultant • Former Elementary School Teacher Years living in the Del Mar School District: Seven Community activities: • Salkexcellerators • Girl Scouts of San Diego • Girls Incorporated of San Diego Education: • M.A., San Diego State University, Educational Technology • Multiple Subject California Teaching Credential, San Diego State University • B.A., Wake Forest University, Art 1. Why are you running for a seat on the Del Mar School board?

Public education is my

Kristin Gibson passion. I am also the parent of a child in the district.

Serving on the board has been a way for me to give to our local schools that complements my interests and experience. I am seeking a second term because I am proud of the work we’ve during thus far and I would like an opportunity to make further progress towards the goals we have established.

2. What do you think are the biggest issues facing the Del Mar Union School District?

The state budget posed our most significant chal-

lenge in recent years. This fiscal crisis coincided with the state’s adoption of the Common Core State Standards. At a time when we were asked to do much more with much less, we reduced spending while creating a more efficient organization. We collaborated with our parents and our teachers to find creative solutions and moved from multimillion-dollar deficit spending to a balanced budget, simultaneously increasing our students’ access to researchbased 21st-century teaching and learning.

3. How would you propose to address those issues?

While the state budget has improved, in light of recent and proposed legislation, funding will remain an issue we need to monitor carefully. This will require continued open communication with our stakeholders and conversations with our local and state legislators.

Also, we are extremely proud of the unrivaled exSee GIBSON, page 22

On pages 4 and 5 are answers to questions submitted by this newspaper to the candidates, as well as biographical information on each candidate. The candidates are listed in alphabetical order.

Doug Rafner Occupation: Attorney/ Mediator Years in the District: Moved here in July 2002 Community Activities: Have served on the School Board for the last four years.

I have also been involved in Little League, soccer leagues, and girls fast pitch softball leagues Education: B.A. from California State University, Northridge; J.D., Thomas Jefferson School of Law 1. Why are you running for a seat on the Del Mar School board?

It has been my honor to serve on the Del Mar School board for the past four years, the last two years as president of the board.

I have lived in Carmel Valley since 2002. My three children have been the beneficiaries of our wonderful school district throughout elementary school.

Over the past four years, we have taken a district that was in disarray, and have turned it into one of the strongest school dis-

Doug Rafner tricts in the nation. Confidence in the district has been restored, and we have charted a course for further success by our ingenious use of technology, and thoughtful implementation of the Common Core. In fact, our Common Core transition has received statewide attention, with various California legislators seeking to visit our schools in order to see a properly run Common Core curriculum.

During our term, the district created a long-term strategic plan, with the assistance of community members, administrators and teachers. This plan sets

out objectives for everything from facilities, to curriculum and financing. We have come a long way toward implementing that plan, but there are still a number of things to do. If elected to another term, I would work hard to see that those longterm plans are realized in a way that continues to make DMUSD successful.

2. What do you think are the biggest issues facing the Del Mar Union School District?

Time and again, our biggest hurdle has been, and will likely continue to be, finances. I anticipate this will be a constant issue for public education. Case in point is the ridiculous cap on reserves a school may maintain, which Sacramento recently burdened upon California public schools. Our reserves are our security blanket, they are what can, and have, kept districts functioning during lean financial times. Until this reserve cap is removed, it will likely be one of the more See RAFNER, page 22

Scott Wooden Occupation (current or former): Owner, Elements Massage South Carlsbad Years living in the Del Mar School District: 12 Community activities: Ecke YMCA (Adventure Princess, Adventure Guides and Trailmates programs and former tribal chief), Liaison to the Del Mar School Education foundation, past president and board member of the Torrey Woods Estates HOA, volunteer in the Del Mar Little League, San Diego Science and Engineering Fair and the Science Olympiad regional and state events Education: B.A. Biology — University of Virginia; Ph.D. Biochemistry — University of Southern California 1. Why are you running for a seat on the Del Mar School board?

Four years ago I ran to put the Del Mar School District back on the right

Scott Wooden course, restoring what I called the 3-Rs of responsibility, relationships and respect. We have moved the needle to accomplish many of those and I want to finish what I started. We restored financial responsibility and now have a balanced budget while retaining our ESC programs and small class sizes.

We have forged strong relationships and communication between the board, administration, teachers, parents and community. We have the respect of being a top district with the highest performance standards, recognized both locally and internationally. Our teachers are the best trained and our instructional methods are

emulated by districts throughout the state. As a DMUSD parent and current board member, I am running for a second term to continue this direction.

Why go back?

2. What do you think are the biggest issues facing the Del Mar Union School District?

The biggest issues are future facility costs and mandates from Sacramento.

We must keep our budget balanced and rebuild our reserves, but also maintain our facilities in the future. That funding is not secured five to 10 years out. We want to continue what makes Del Mar special, such as the ESC programs and smaller class sizes, yet plan for future needs. Furthermore, we have escalating pension costs. The current state program is woefully underfunded, and school districts are being mandated to contribute increasingly larger amounts to stabilize it. This could affect our future fiscal solvency if not prepared.

Furthermore, I am opSee WOODEN, page 21

L’Auberge marks 25th year in DM • Hotel is third incarnation at site since 1909, restoring glamour of original

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although L’Auberge Del Mar has been a staple of the community for 25 years, the story of the landmark hotel’s historical site stretches back more than a century. “It’s an important anniversary because you get to look back on what was, what is and what it’s going to be,� said Mike Slosser, who has been the hotel’s general manager for more than 11 years. “This truly is one of the unique boutique hotels in the country.�

Opened in 1909 for about $75,000, the Stratford Inn originally stood on the corner of Camino del Mar and 15th Street. In 1925, the Tudor-style hotel underwent a $250,000 remodel. It was renamed Hotel Del Mar a year later.

The hotel attracted the rich and famous from the moment it opened its doors.

For 20 years, the fiveacre lot sat vacant.

Developer Jim Watkins, an Oklahoma native, moved to Del Mar in 1967. It was his dream to restore the historical site.

Watkins first purchased the property in 1971, but traded it in a real estate deal with his former business partner, who later lost it in bankruptcy. He repurchased the property in 1986. “My dream was to build a great hotel for my hometown,� said Watkins, adding that he traveled to hotels all over the world for inspiration before drawing up the site designs. “The hotel was so important to the history of Del Mar. I wanted to bring it back.�

When the project was placed on the ballot, however, community members didn’t share his dream. Locals voted against the project in 1987.

Having lost by only 11 votes, Watkins went back to the drawing board, reducing the number of proposed time-share units. “One year and $1 million later,� he said, the project — a 120room hotel and 12 timeshare units — went back on

The $36 million hotel restored the glamour of the original inn, even re-creating the Stratford Inn’s lobby fireplace. “It’s a design that will be around forever,� said Watkins, who lives in an on-site condominium but sold the property in 1994 to Destination Hotels & Resorts. “Twenty-five years from now, it will have just as much presence and just as much importance as it has today. It’s here forever as the heart of the community. That’s really gratifying.�

Nearly a decade after the sale, in April 2003, Slosser was named general manager of the hotel. Almost immediately, he spearheaded plans to renovate the site.

After nearly three years of planning, the hotel closed in November 2007 and underwent a $26 million renovation, reopening eight months later.

L’Auberge Del Mar’s remodel started in 2007 and closed the hotel for eight months. Every part of the resort received a facelift. “You don’t shut a hotel down,� said Slosser, who noted that the hotel retained its 31-person leadership team during the remodel. “We shut it down because the change was so dramatic. It was a lot smarter to do it that way, even though it cost us more. “When we opened, it was a prideful moment, because we knew we had something special.�

From the guest rooms to the lobby, every part of the seaside resort received a facelift.

Now headed by Chef Brandon Fortune, Kitchen 1540 replaced the outdated J. Taylor’s Restaurant. The

hotel also opened a 4,500-square-foot spa. “It’s been an overwhelming success for everyone,� said Slosser, who said the hotel employs 227 people.

The fireplace was also removed to make room for a bar during the renovation. “I was about ready to kill them,� joked Watkins, who said the wooden beams in the lobby were also painted white during the renovation. “It was a marvelous fireplace. I couldn’t have gotten approval without that fireplace.

Canyon Crest Academy singer to tackle bullying during Teen Nation Tour

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Bullied when he was in middle school, Canyon Crest Academy junior Mason Mercer now spends his free time as an anti-bullying advocate.

To kick off National Bullying Prevention Month, the Solana Beach 16-yearold is joining other teen singers in Teen Nation Tour, a peer-to-peer community service program that educates youth about bullying.

Through the program, teen recording artists perform and share their personal stories during 90-minute school assemblies for middle and high school students.

“It’s such an important cause, because it teaches kids what it means to be bullied,” said Mason. “Maybe they don’t even know they’re being bullied, or maybe they don’t even know they’re the bully. It teaches them how to treat everyone.”

The Teen Nation Tour kicked off its fall tour Sept. 8 in Raleigh, N.C. The tour will stop in several North Carolina cities, as well as Nashville, Knoxville and Atlanta, and will end in Texas.

Mason is joining the tour for a one-week stint that started Oct. 4. He and several other artists are visit-

“My experience helped me become a stronger person, and it’s helped me write music to help others become stronger and stand up for themselves,” he said.

Mason began performing on stage when he was just 8 years old. At 13, he became the lead singer of his band, Open for Business, which has performed at the House of Blues in San Diego, the Del Mar Fairgrounds and Fiesta del Sol in Solana Beach, among other local spots.

Besides Mason’s personal experience with bullying, his older sister’s activism inspired him to share his story.

Torrey Mercer, a Solana Beach native and Canyon Crest Academy alumna, also raises awareness about bullying by singing and sharing her story with K-12 students across the U.S. She was among several artists who par-

ticipated in the 2011 No Bully Tour. Sponsored by JNFE Global, the national tour featured musicians and guest speakers who talked about bullying at campuses across the country.

After the tour, Torrey, now a senior at UC Irvine, launched her own anti-bullying program at Balboa Elementary School in San Diego in June 2012. She has since visited dozens of schools, mostly throughout California. Mason has appeared as a motivational speaker at some of the events.

“I’ve done no-bullying assemblies with my sister and I absolutely loved it,” Mason said. “I’ve been wanting to do this, so I’m so excited to have this amazing opportunity.”

‘Comedy Warriors’ documentary shows how comedy can heal battle wounds Mason Mercer Courtesy photo

Tickets are on sale now for “Comedy Warriors — Healing Through Humor,” an uplifting film that shows there’s another perspective from which to view life’s difficulties, and that is — humor. The film will be shown at 7 p.m. Oct. 29 at the David and Dorothea Garfield Theatre, Jewish Community Center, Jacobs Family Campus, in La Jolla.

The documentary shows what happens when five severely wounded Iraq/Afghanistan vets work with four top comedians and professional comedy writers to explore their personal experiences through humor. The result is 75 minutes of honest emotions and contagious laughter. Guiding the vets are comedy greats Lewis Black (“Back in Black”), Zach Galifianakis (“The Hangover” movies), B.J. Novak (“The Office”), and Bob Saget (“America’s Funniest Home Videos”).

The military heroes-turned-comedians include San Diego’s Joe Kashnow, who lost his right leg in a roadside bomb explosion. Known for his deadpan delivery, he likes to joke that as a Jew he has a “leg up in the comedy world.”

For tickets, call 858-362-1348, or visit www.sdjff.org. The film contains adult content and language. Visit www.comedywarriors.com.

ing a number of schools in Charlotte and Concord before performing at the televised NASCAR Sprint Cup series at Charlotte Motor Speedway.

“I hope the students learn they can be a better person if they strive for it,” Mason said. “They can also help other people around them be better people. If you see something happening, stop it. It’s not OK.” Relationship drama led to bullying and lost friendships for Mason when he was in middle school. The experience inspired him to write “Stand Up,” his first single. Available on iTunes, the song encourages people to make a difference.

It is one of the songs he plans to perform during the tour.

Parenting expert Dr. Lee Hausner shares wealth of wisdom on successful parenting at Del Mar Speaker’s Series The Del Mar Foundation in collaboration with Del Mar Heights Elementary School and Del Mar Hills Academy presented the first in a free three-part series of parenting events at the Powerhouse Community Building on Sept. 23.

The evening featured Dr. Lee Hausner, internationally recognized author, expert and adviser on raising highly successful children. Speaking to a packed house of parents, Hausner offered advice that crossed all socio-economic boundaries with insight on effective communication, dangers of overindulgence, importance of consistent discipline and building selfreliance.

In addition, she addressed the challenges of nurturing healthy values in children, especially children surrounded by wealth. Participants left with concrete ideas to develop self-reliant, responsible children who learn to make good choices throughout life.

For example, Hausner talked about delaying gratification and expecting children to earn what they want rather than purchasing it for them. She also recommended emphasizing the journey of reaching a top grade, rather than the grade itself. Said one participant, “Fabulous event last night; we need more info like this!�

The evening was sponsored by E3 Consulting, a Del Mar company that works with students to help individual growth, self-awareness and exceptional academic growth.

Hausner is an internationally recognized author and co-author of numerous books including her seminal work, “Children of Paradise ... Successful Parenting for Prosperous Families.� She spent 15 years with the Beverly Hills School District as senior psychologist.

The Del Mar Foundation sponsors programs, makes grants, and manages more than $2 million in endowment funds to benefit the community and the San Dieguito Lagoon. The foundation’s community endowment provides long-term funding stability for community needs. For information about the Del Mar Foundation, visit www.delmarfoundation.org or call 858-635-1363.

CV software developer creates free app to shut down teens from texting while driving

BY SAMANTHA TATRO For Carmel Valley resident Travis Niedosik, the idea for a new phone application started with a phone call to a friend hundreds of miles away in Florida.

His friend, recovering from a severe back injury, had recently been rear-ended by a teen who was texting and driving. The kid was texting his mother, telling her he would be home in five minutes because he was running late. “We tell our kids not to text and drive, and not to do these things, but a lot of parents do it with their kids in the car,� Niedosik said. “A lot of parents are incentivizing their kids to use their phones while driving without even realizing it.�

Niedosik’s new application, RideSafe, recently launched on the Google Play Store. The free application detects when a person is driving and disables all communications until a test is performed to determine that the person is no longer distracted or driving.

Once RideSafe detects that the user is in a moving car, only three scenarios can unlock the phone: The user must pass an attention verification test, the car must stop moving, or the user activates emergency override. When emergency override is activated, the phone screen turns red until reset by a parent.

The process from the initial idea to the finished product on the Google Play Store took about eight months, Niedosik said, but his programming and software development background goes back further than that.

When he was 7 years old, Niedosik opened up Notepad on his computer and started changing the text around so people would believe he had created a word processing program that looked like Microsoft Word. “When you opened ‘Help,’ then ‘About,’ it said, ‘This program was written by Travis Niedosik, and NOBODY ELSE!’ I remember the all-capitals pretty clearly,� Niedosik said. “At the time, I thought, ‘That’s it. With that on the ‘About’ box, who would believe I didn’t write this?’ What

Travis Niedosik can I say? I was 7!�

Though his love of programming has spanned most of his life, recently Niedosik has been working on his application RideSafe.

The conversation with his friend in Florida got him thinking about an application that could help curb texting while driving. “The only trick is figuring out when the car is moving,� Niedosik said. “If you can figure out when the car is moving, you can stop it from allowing any texting, any calling, any of that stuff. That’s really what sort of made me think, ‘I think there’s a problem here; I think I can figure out how to fix this.’�

Parents, Are Your Children Protected?

The product in the Play Store is an initial version, he said, and he plans to expand its capabilities and functions.

The application can detect when it’s being tampered with and sends a notification to parents. “Ultimately, I can’t block you from uninstalling the application,� Niedosik said. “But I can notify the parent and say, ‘Hey, your son or daughter uninstalled the application you installed.’�

Also, the application has monitoring features for parents. If they did not want their children on the phone from a certain time of day to another, for example, they could remotely set that up and control it without having to access to phone. “I think it’s very important for all parents to at least be aware of these resources,� said Niedosik, himself a father.

RideSafe is available for free on the Google Play Store.

At 6 p.m. the event will have hors d’oeuvres, craft beer and wine, silent auction, and live music featuring Luke Williams.

Local nonprofit pleading for hurricane aid

BY JARED WHITLOCK Hurricane Odile destroyed infrastructure and houses across Cabo San Lucas and other Baja California coastal towns, leaving many homeless in its wake.

YachtAid Global, a local nonprofit, is looking to provide humanitarian aid to the region in the coming weeks. Hence, residents are encouraged to donate either funds or supplies to bolster the effort.

“We’re in contact with 10 different boats that will carry aid from San Diego to Cabo,” said Mark Drewelow, an Encinitas resident who founded YachtAid. The greatest needs: bottled water, first aid supplies, food with a long shelf life, shelter such as pop-up tents and baby care supplies like formula, diapers and wipes.

To donate, visit yachtaidglobal.org.

YachtAid has a network of boaters around the world who provide supplies to areas in need. Before Odile hit, Drewelow coordinated with a YachtAid volunteer who happened to be in the region.

The captain delivered emergency supplies to La Paz, and then produced fresh water onboard, enough to fill water trucks.

Odile, packing 125-mile per hour winds, directly slammed into Cabo San Lucas Sept. 14. In its wake, Drewelow said thousands of working class people in Cabo San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo, La Paz and other areas are without food, water and shelter.

In light of the growing demand for humanitarian aid there, YachtAid, other nonprofits and additional organizations banded together to make sure supplies get into the hands of those struggling.

Greg Edwards is the executive director of Los Cabos Children’s Foundation, a nonprofit that provides medical assistance to children.

It’s critical, he said, that people get supplies and shelter soon. Otherwise, disease or other issues could compound.

Over the long term, Edwards said, homes and hotels should be rebuilt as soon as possible.

“People have been displaced, from their home and their job,” Edwards said. “Now’s the really hard part. They have

Residents are encouraged to donate funds or supplies to the cause at yachtaidglobal.org. Courtesy photo nothing to go back to.”

Drewelow voiced similar thoughts. He said the region will need help well into the future.

Drewelow’s private company C2C, which handles operational logistics for luxury yachts, paved the way for YachtAid. After building up contacts around the world, he set out to make a difference by forming the nonprofit. It has since provided thousands of dollars in aid to 50 regions.

‘Jump Start for Health’ The San Diego County Medical Society Foundation invited the community to run, walk or stroll along the Solana Beach coastline at low tide and sunset on Sept. 27 to support Jump Start for Health, a new initiative to prevent diabetes in San Diego County.

The event also featured a Wellness Expo, showcasing local companies that specialize in healthy living at Solana Beach’s Fletcher Cove. The 5K Run/Walk kicked off at 5 p.m., followed by live music from the band “WHIP.” For more information, visit www.SB5K.org.

CV doctor at forefront of women’s health research

Switch

• Accomplished Scripps gynecologist one of the first physicians to perform hysterectomies through the navel

BY KATHY DAY Dr. Bruce Kahn acknowledges he’s one of those guys who likes to stay busy. And he’s not kidding.

A quick glance at the Scripps Health physician’s curriculum vitae tells only part of the story. A gynecologist with a subspecialty in female pelvic medicine and reconstructive surgery, he was one of the first Scripps physicians to perform hysterectomies through the navel.

A Carmel Valley resi- Dr. Bruce Kahn with his wife, Janet, and their twins dent, he is at the forefront of Brendan and Natalie. research in women’s health, an adviser to a wireless medical device company, chairman of graduate medical education at Scripps Memorial Hospital, and a frequent contributor to medical journals and speaker at a wide range of conferences.

He and his wife, Janet, who received an MBA from the University of Chicago and works on a project basis as a management consultant, are parents of twins who graduated last spring from Canyon Crest Academy and are now firmly planted in their freshman years at college in Chicago and Boston. “I love my job,� Kahn said in a recent interview. “I usually have several things going in my work life and out.�

When asked whether he ever sleeps, he retorted with a laugh, “Sleep is a necessary evil.�

He has built a reputation in the new medical subspecialty of urogynecology, which combines urology and gynecology and is particularly respected for his work in interstitial cystitis — or painful bladder syndrome. He’s one of an estimated 700 physicians in the country to pass the board exam given last year — the first in which it was administered by the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology. “It’s different taking a board exam in your early 50s,� he said, adding that “it’s a very special privilege to be part of the initial class.�

While conceding he’s “a true academic at heart,� Kahn stresses that his first love is for his patients. “The best part is working with individual patients, developing that physicianpatient relationship and helping find solutions to their problems.�

Years ago, physicians didn’t like treating pelvic pain in women, he said, because “they kept coming back, and there was not a good track record.�

Now, with newfound knowledge that the problems are often related to the bladder, there are a number of “great solutions� that are nonsurgical and can be done in the office, he added. When surgery is necessary, he looks for the least invasive procedure, including robot-assisted surgeries and laparoscopic hysterectomy.

With the introduction of “belly button hysterectomy� in April of this year, he noted, it is possible to hide the incision “if you have a good innie.� That’s a big change from the large abdominal incision previously required for this type of operation.

Kahn, grew up in Orange County and is a graduate of UC Irvine (as is his wife) with a degree in biology. He received his master’s in physiology and his M.D. degree from Georgetown University, and worked in several locations before joining the Navy reserves. “Most people do it to see the world; I did it to get to San Diego,� he said.

He served at the Naval Medical Center San Diego and UC San Diego before joining Scripps in 1999. With his passion for teaching, he’s taken on directorship of the Scripps Fellowship in Minimally Invasive Gynecologic Surgery and chairs the Graduate Medical Education Program at Scripps Memorial. He also heads the post-graduate education program in obstetrics and gynecology.

As if that’s not enough to occupy his time, he’s involved with the Scripps Translational Science Institute in a project to use smartphone technology to reduce the rate of cervical cancer in developing countries.

An Israeli biotech startup called MobileOCT, headed by Ariel Beery, has developed technology that enables a smartphone to take digital images of the cervix that can be analyzed remotely. By identifying cancer cells before they develop to an advanced stage, the device can make cost-effective and potentially lifesaving diagnoses available where access to health services is limited, he explained.

Kahn said he first met Beery in Tel Aviv during a conference that was part of the Scripps Mobile Health Initiative.

After a two-hour meeting, the two knew they had a compelling case to alter the course of the No. 1 cause of cancer for women in developing countries. So they applied for a grant from the Vodafone America Foundation and won $300,000 that will enable them to advance their work. Kahn will head the testing at Scripps as well as at a clinic in Tijuana.

While some might hesitate at entering the competitive world of startups, Kahn has no fear. “It’s fun,� he said. “It’s a very different project for me.�

With one of his underlying life philosophies being “If you don’t fall down once in a while, you’re not trying hard enough,� it seems only fitting that he would take on this challenge as he has the role of investigator on a number of other research projects.

Santa Fe Christian student presents Serenity Spa poster at Chicago medical conference raises $1K Santa Fe Christian junior Jacquelyn Askew presented her research abstract and scientific poster on “Undiagnosed Celiac Disease Linked to Unexplained Infertility,� at the 2014 Oncofertility Consortium International Conference held at Northwestern University Medical School in Chicago last week.

The conference hosted physicians, researchers, survivors and advocates from 10 different countries to share Jacquelyn Askew presented her research and poster at research advances.

This was the fifth year the Oncofertility Consortium International Conference that students who completed in Chicago recently. exemplary posters as part of the Summer Oncofertility Academy participation were invited to attend the annual consortium.

Oncofertility is the science of preserving the fertility of cancer patients as they undergo treatment. The UC San Diego Science Academy was the sole representative of high-school and college-age girls to present among researchers from around the world. These students were brought alongside professionals from this specialty to expand their knowledge and share their research to open new areas for future study. Professionals from around the world collaborated for the purpose of ensuring reproductive health for cancer survivors whose disease or treatment may impair fertility.

Since the San Diego Oncofertility Science Academy began in 2008, 92 young women have graduated from the program. They are now attending such prestigious institutions as UC San Diego, UCLA, Stanford, MIT, UC Berkeley, Georgetown, Brown and Notre Dame.

Many alumnae are still finishing high school, but at least 41 graduates are now pursuing science majors in college, and one graduate is starting her second year of medical school.

For the 2014 Oncofertility Summer Academy, 64 students applied from 28 different schools across San Diego County. A team of volunteer scientists and educators reviewed the applications and selected 16 girls (11th and 12th grade in the 2014-2015 school year) from 16 different San Diego high schools. Of the 16 young women in the 2014 summer sessions, six will be the first generation in their families to go to college.

Students also took field trips to Children’s Hospital of Orange County and Reproductive Partners-UC San Diego Regional Fertility Center.

Serenity Spa at the Hilton Garden Inn San Diego/Del Just in Time for Foster Mar raised more than $1,000 with a fun run/walk and Youth helps transitioning foster youth achieve self-suffi- street fair to help foster youth. ciency and well-being.

JIT believes consistent, longterm help from the heart is the foundation for the success of foster youth so that they can thrive and enjoy productive, satisfying lives.

Executive Director Don Wells, who was instrumental in the early formation of JIT, was in attendance. Wells has been a consistent supporter of Just in Time, joining the board in 2009 and becoming executive director in 2010.

In partnership with JIT, more than 75 participants began their day with a 10-minute warm-up with fitness professional Anthony Irwin from Irwin Fitness. After stretching, the runners and walkers took to the street to complete the one-mile course through the beautiful Torrey Hills neighborhood. With neighbors coming out to cheer on the runners and walkers, smiles on everyone’s faces and an overall great experience, there couldn’t have been a better way to kick off the event.

Nonprofit aims to connect those with breast cancer to neighborhood help

BY SAMANTHA TATRO A new start-up charity in San Diego takes the “love thy neighbor� mantra to heart.

The Shades of Pink Foundation, which recently received its nonprofit status, lets San Diego residents donate to temporarily provide aid to local women struggling with financial hardship as a result of a breast cancer diagnosis — giving direct and quick support to the brave women battling cancer around them.

The foundation gives out monetary grants to eligible women in the Greater San Diego Area.

At an event Sept. 26, the Wear Pink Cocktail Party in Encinitas, philanthropists and business leaders garnered $5,525 for the fledgling foundation.

The foundation has given out five grants so far.

Vembra Holnagel, a co-founding board member who corresponds directly with the grant recipients, said one particular story stood out.

A 58-year-old music teacher struggling with breast cancer had to have some of her lymph nodes removed and as a result was diagnosed with lymphedema, a condition that made her arm swell. She needed compression gloves, but her insurance would not cover it. Enter Shades of Pink, which gave her a grant to cover the cost of the gloves. “She just wrote how excited she was to get those, and she was going to be able to go swimming again and get into her swimsuit, and she felt pretty,� Holnagel said, adding that the woman’s income had been reduced because of her battle with cancer. “She was just such an amazing person.�

The foundation officially launched last year but received its nonprofit status in July 2014. It then promptly began handing out grants to eligible and needy women whose cases were like that of the music teacher.

The charity was co-founded by Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority sisters Christina Fulcher and Kianne Holnagel, who invited several other women to join them.

Bridget Garwitz, who came on board in the early planning stages and officially joined this year, said what drew her to the charity was how local the grants were. “I think that research and finding cures are very worthy causes,� Garwitz said. “However, I like that our cause is geared toward individuals. These are people who are in the thick of their illness and are suffering, and there’s a lot of implications of having cancer that don’t involve just physical limitations.�

Those limitations include, for example, paying for child care, groceries, and various home bills that allow women to keep their lives going.

Holnagel said the charity provides more direct help to local women in need. When people donate to larger organizations, their dollars don’t necessarily have a local impact. “Our dollars stay right in our local community. We are making a difference in women’s lives right now, right here,� Holnagel said. “When someone donates to our foundation, that money is used to directly help a woman going through cancer today, who is having troubles today, not back to a national organization who sends it to local chapters.�

Dr. Ed Siegel established the weekly Solana Beach Singalong in 1986 and kicked off its 28th season in late August.

Let us help make this chapter one of your best.

Solana Beach Singalong in harmony with community • Weekly event now in 28th year of bringing people together with music

BY KRISTINA HOUCK It didn’t take long for Solana Beach residents to begin new traditions after the city became incorporated in 1986. In the next year, local psychiatrist and musician Dr. Ed Siegel established the weekly Solana Beach Community Singalong, which remains the city’s longestrunning ongoing event.

“There was an old beat-up upright piano in the community center,” recalled Siegel. “We had just became a city, and I thought it would be a great way to give people a sense of community.”

Led by Siegel, the Solana Beach Community Singalong kicked off its 28th season with a Thursday night get-together Aug. 28 at the Fletcher Cove Community Center, a celebration that continued well into the next week. On the next Thursday, Sept. 4, regular attendees and newcomers gathered to sing and celebrate with cake and other treats.

“When I look at pictures from 27 years ago, it seems like yesterday,” Siegel said. “For me, all I have to do is show up and sit down.”

During the special occasion, dozens of people trickled in and out of the roughly two-hour event, from 9-year-old Lexi Worms of Solana Beach to 100-year-old Selma Malk of La Jolla.

Malk, who has been a loyal member of the group for 25 years, sat in her wheelchair near Siegel at the piano. Her eyes lit up and she tapped her foot during spirituals and World War I-era songs. Lexi, a fourth-grader at Skyline Elementary School, proudly performed Disney favorites for the crowd. It was her first time attending the singalong.

“This was really fun,” said Lexi after the event. “I want to come back and sing again.”

Lexi Worms and Selma Malk enjoyed Siegel, who has played the piano since childsinging together at a recent hood, established the weekly singalong in 1987 so singalong. COURTESY PHOTO people of all ages and backgrounds, like Lexi and Malk, could come together to sing. At the piano, he provides musical accompaniment and sings with the group in a repertoire contained in a songbook that he and regular attendees compiled over the years.

No reservations or dues are required, and everyone is welcome, he said.

“When I was a kid in a small town, we didn’t have TV,” Siegel said. “Everybody had pianos, and we would sing around the campfire at the city park. There was always a real community feeling. So I was hoping to start something like that here.”

In the early days, Siegel said, the group had to make do with the old upright, which the city eventually replaced with a new one.

Over the years, the group updated its songbook to include songs that span generations, from spirituals to show tunes to popular hits.

A special song for the city of Solana Beach is also featured in the songbook. In 2006, Solana Beach adopted the city’s official song, “Solana Beach, Our City Proud,” a collaboration between Siegel and lyricist Lynn Salsberg.

Salsberg and her husband have regularly attended the Solana Beach Community Singalong since the early 1990s. The couple first discovered the group when they heard music coming from Fletcher Cove Community Center during an evening stroll down Pacific Avenue.

“We came in, and we’ve been coming ever since,” Salsberg said.

“Lynn and her husband are as much a part of the singalong as I am,” Siegel said.

“They’re supporters. They come in, they help set up the chairs, and they’re enthusiastic about it.”

The Solana Beach Community Singalong meets most Thursday nights. Doors open at 7:30 p.m.

The first singalong drew about 40 people, Siegel recalled. Since then, crowds have ranged from seven to 70 people of all ages, with the most popular singalongs around the Fourth of July and the holiday season, he said.

“We never know how many people are going to come,” Siegel said. “We never know, and it doesn’t matter — as long as there are just a few folks.”

RSF Patrol member puts out call to locate kidney donor for his son

BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe Patrol’s Sal Gambino is dedicated to saving his son’s life. He is looking for a live kidney donor for his son, Vincent who, at 21, is in severe kidney failure.

“I am a father who wants to see his son enjoy the wonderful life that is in front of him,” Sal wrote in a recent e-mail to friends and community members.

“You never know who’s out there and who is willing to donate and who could be a perfect match,” Sal said.

In October 2013, Vincent learned his kidney functions were between 20 and 22 percent.

“This came out of the blue and was a complete shock to all of us,” said Sal, who has been a member of the RSF Patrol for five years after 27 years in law enforcement, including with the San Diego Sheriff’s Department and Oceanside Police Department. “It’s very hard as a parent.”

In September, Vincent’s function dropped to 13 percent and, according to his doctors, this is considered stagefive kidney failure and he should start dialysis.

“It was difficult to accept how such a healthy young man could have stage five kidney failure,” Sal said.

Vincent graduated in 2011 from Fallbrook High School and is working for Chase Bank. He is scheduled to attend Cal State San Marcos this semester, studying business.

Like his father Sal, Vincent is a member of the San Diego County Football Officials Association and North County Basketball Officials Association, serving as a referee for high school and youth football games. Also like his father, Vincent aims for a career in law enforcement — he is applying to the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department.

“He has his whole life in front of him,” Sal said. “He is an amazing kid, he’s taken this thing in stride … He’s one of those kids that makes a parent proud.”

Vincent and Sal Gambino referee a local football game together.

The Gambinos decided the best course of action would be to search for a possible donor before Vincent starts dialysis. Sal, his wife, Cindy, and Vincent’s brother, Nicholas, will all be tested, as will extended family members — however, if no one is a match, they would like to have a list of potential donors.

“It does take a strong person to be willing to donate an organ,” Sal said. “You only need one kidney to survive.”

The wait time for a matching deceased healthy donor is between five to 10 years, with a life expectancy of 10-plus years with a healthy deceased donor. However, the waiting period for a live matching donor is less than a year, and the life expectancy

Vincent Gambino, who is in need of a kidney donor, in the hospital.

from a living, healthy donor is 20-plus years.

Vincent is blood type A-positive, so any O-blood type or A blood-type donor would be a candidate. There is no cost to be a kidney donor; the medical cost is covered by Vincent’s insurance.

“Vincent needs a new kidney, and we hope you will consider being tested as a donor,” Sal said.

To find out more about living kidney donation, visit kidney.org/transplantation/ livingdonors/index.cfm. To contact Vincent’s transplant coordinator for information and questions, call Jamie Rullman at (858) 554-4303. To request an application to be an organ donor, call 858-554-4310.

Scripps Candlelight Ball to be held Dec. 6 at The Grand Del Mar The 85th annual Scripps Candlelight Ball will be held Saturday, Dec. 6, at The Grand Del Mar. Proceeds from this year’s blacktie gala will benefit life-saving care at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla, recognized as one of the nation’s best hospitals for heart care and heart surgery.

Education Matters/Opinion San Diego’s Rock Week of Wonder BY MARSHA SUTTON It was a Week of Wonder in San Diego last week, Marsha Sutton with concerts by three of the biggest names from the 1960s and ’70s. In six days, our fair city saw Paul McCartney on Sunday, Crosby Stills & Nash on Wednesday, and the Eagles on Saturday. Saying it was a trip down memory lane is such a lame cliché, but how else to describe this glorious week?

I’m not much of an Eagles fan (please, no hate mail), and sadly, I was not on the ball when I belatedly heard Crosby Stills & Nash were coming to the Civic Center.

That’s not my favorite venue in any case, especially after seeing Graham Nash up close and personal at the Belly Up last year. But I did lament missing that beautiful three-part harmony — and the lovely memories their songs bring back.

Paul McCartney at Petco Park was hardly up close

and personal, appearing before a packed house of 42,000 of his closest friends, but how to pass up the chance to see Sir Paul live — even if most of it was watched on a big screen?

As someone who came of age in the 1960s, I sometimes feel possessive of musical icons like McCartney (he was OUR generation — you young people, find your own idols).

At the same time, it’s gratifying to know that his music has touched three generations of adoring fans and that so many young adults, my own kids included, know the words to every Beatles song.

Still, we own the Beatles in a way younger generations never can.

For those of us who grew up with the Beatles and early groups like Crosby Stills & Nash (& Neil Young then), this music takes us back to a time of great social upheaval.

There was violence, certainly, with assassinations, bigotry, brutal police actions and hate. It was a time of revolution that sometimes turned ugly.

But there was also a sense of hope, innocence and renewal — and the very real possibility for peace, unity and freedom.

In the struggle for justice and equality, we held sit-ins, demonstrations, marches and protests. We fought against an unjust war, battled for civil rights and women’s rights, shattered artificial boundaries, and questioned authority in ways never before seen.

And we fell in love — over and over again.

We were embarking on a journey into adulthood, with the promise of a new dawn before us.

Through it all, the music carried us along, capturing our hopes and dreams in the magic of poetic lyrics and timeless melodies. The music was a profound force that embodied a new social consciousness that changed the world.

This is McCartney’s legacy — he’s become a symbol of an era of unimaginable transformation.

A living legend is probably not how anyone wants to think of themselves. But See ROCK, page 20

Hold that ballot until Election Day

BY GORDON CLANTON • Congress. The most important race on the November ballot in San Diego County is one of the mostwatched, most-hotly contested Congressional races in the country.

The 52nd District stretches from Rancho Bernardo to Coronado and includes Carmel Valley. Firstterm Democrat Scott Peters defends his seat against former San Diego councilman and failed candidate for mayor, Republican Carl DeMaio. Registration is closely divided: 34% Republicans, 32% Democrats, 29% independents.

Peters ran first in the June primary, but his three Republican opponents combined to take 58% of the vote. Unusual for a Democrat, Peters won the endorsement of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce.

Both campaigns have tons of money from the na-

when McCartney opened with his first song, there was a sense of seeing someone who is much bigger than one individual man.

He represents an entire generation’s longing for what we almost had — or thought we had back then — lasting love, peace, hope, justice and equality.

The tears were for the still tangible memory of the energy of our lost youth.

The smiles were for the same thing — for it was a time of awesome people power.

It seemed as if everyone present understood they were part of a legendary experience. We were all witness to the power and emotions generated by the music. McCartney brought us “all together now” as he sang in that still strong, sweet voice, combining soft, enduring melodies (“Blackbird,” “And I Love Her”) with great rock.

His last encore captured it all: the beautiful “Yesterday,” the raucous “Helter Skelter” (Charles Manson be damned, I love “Helter Skelter”), and ending with the best medley

tional parties and from PACs. Both campaigns are spending big on TV. You will be seeing a lot of these guys from now until Election Day. It won’t be pretty.

A Democratic Congressman in a swing district, elected in a presidential election year as Peters was, is most vulnerable just two years later when Democratic turnout is lower.

Conversely, if Peters wins in November, he is likely to hold the seat for years — and the Democrats will sustain their brand-new 3-2 majority in the San Diegoarea Congressional delegation.

• Schools. If all poliever: “Golden Slumbers,” “Carry That Weight,” and “The End.” Sitting to my husband’s left was a man in his 80s who could barely walk, and to my right were two young people, at most 19 or 20. In front of us were three burly men who looked to be in their mid-50s, buddies who laughed and sang and roared their approval after each song.

Sitting two rows in front of us were a man and woman with their young son, about 8 or 9 years old.

The boy seemed to be suffering, as he endured the embarrassment of his parents singing at full volume, screaming refrains into his ears from both sides. We watched him cringe, even as everyone around him delighted at every note.

One unhappy customer in a full house of 42,000 isn’t bad.

I understand those parents. We have an obligation to remember, and if possible, share the memories as best we can with our children — teach them well, as CSN sang, albeit with a different meaning.

It was a powerful time when hope and eternal optimism guided our dreams — so different from today,

tics is local, school board politics is hyper-local. In recent years, local school board races have featured bigger budgets, more namecalling, more partisanship.

Do your homework.

• Otherwise. The San Diego council race between Democrat Carol Kim and Republican Chris Cate will determine whether Dems maintain their current veto-proof majority.

• Hold it. Hold your mail ballot until Election Day and drop it off at a polling place. You never know what you might learn about a candidate between now and then. Remember Judge Gary Kreep.

In all, Sir Paul played 39 songs, nearly three hours without a break, and no opening act. Time and age become meaningless when an artist is able to bring together people from 8 to 85 and fill them with joy.

I wore my Beatles Tshirt to the concert (of course), and for days after that. It prompted questions and smiles from people who noticed, many asking, “How was it?”

On my sixth (and final) day in the shirt, in the grocery store a frail-looking elderly woman with thinning white hair who looked to be in her mid-eighties pointed at me and said, “Were you there?”

It took me a few seconds to realize what she was asking. Then I looked down at my shirt where she was pointing, grinned and nodded happily. She broke into a broad smile, her eyes twinkling, and asked, “Was it fabulous?”

A fellow Beatles fan. It was, yes indeed, fabulous.

Camera shy?

Amid the latest dustup and CYA among city bureaucrats regarding the two traffic stop incidents, one thing puzzles me immensely. City Manager Huth has reportedly confiscated the personal, on-uniform camera of Ranger Chase pending something called further study, always a clue there’s more there than meets the eye, whatever the lens.

Wasn’t the presence and deployment of the camera that fateful day the only reason the matter of Chase vs. the pulled-over driver properly adjudicated? It cleared Chase, and indeed, it actually won praise from Huth for the ranger’s behavior. Without it, the matter likely would still be in he-said, he-said limbo.

Furthermore, municipalities around the U.S., even grown-up ones, have concluded the cameras are absolutely essential — to protect officers as well as citizens. So in the aftermath of such a camera doing just that, the city immediately pulls the device?

That makes no sense, less sense even than all the rumor, innuendo, and doublespeak surrounding both the Chase incident and the perplexing and still unresolved matter of Community Services Director Patrick Vergne and the DUI stop.

Time will eventually sort all that out, I suppose. It’s only been, what, four months? For now though, give Chase his camera back. For his protection and ours. Now. Joe Azzinaro Del Mar

Can the Del Mar Highlands Town Center keep expanding without public review?

I applaud Donahue-Schriber for their impressive (and ongoing) redevelopment of the Del Mar Highlands Town Center. The new restaurants and shops add vitality — albeit finding a parking space is increasingly harder and harder anywhere near the movie theater, restaurants or shops we are now enjoying with increased popularity.

It makes me wonder whether anyone at the city or within the community is curious about the cumulative impacts of all this ongoing redevelopment and intensification of land uses?

In witnessing the amount of redevelopment at the Town Center, it seems odd to me that with the increased intensity of uses and continued (future) expansion, there is no public review process by which traffic, parking, or other development-related impacts are addressed and mitigated. As an example, the former Barnes & Noble space is slated for redevelopment. What will be going in that space? Another new restaurant, perhaps? Will more square footage be added? Will parking be lost? How will this intensification affect the pre-school? Can the expansion accommodate any cultural uses, such as North Coast Repertory Theatre?

Moreover, why isn’t The Highlands required to go through any type of public vetting process or technical reviews of traffic and parking impacts, when they have spent so much energy fighting One Paseo on these exact same issues?

It would appear as if the Highlands, through a more piecemeal development process, wants to avoid any public scrutiny and ignore any technical review of traffic or parking impacts that their redevelopment might have on surrounding areas.

While I fully support the notion of adding new and interesting shops, flavorful restaurants, and fun places to hang out within our own community, I would demand that our city officials hold any future expansion plans of the Del Mar Highlands Town Center to the same rigors as it has held to other commercial development plans in the area.

ONE PASEO continued from page 1

and unavoidable, community character and traffic …

These impacts are significant to the quality of life in Carmel Valley and should not be disregarded for economic gain.”

Those who spoke in favor of One Paseo included Carmel Valley residents, North County residents, business owners and representatives from MOVE Alliance, the San Diego Housing Commission, the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corporation (EDC), the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce, the San Diego Coastal Chamber of Commerce and the San Diego Bike Coalition.

“One Paseo is the most innovative and exciting project in San Diego,” said Robert Little, vice president of development for Kilroy, One Paseo’s developer. “The community has grown over time and we’ve planned it with the current and future community in mind … This One Paseo is the right project at the right time, in the right place. We need this project.”

In a trial run for a future City Council hearing on the project, proponents and opponents were given a minute to speak or could choose to simply state their opposition or support.

Frank Wolden of Skyport Studio, who has worked on the project, talked about how they really looked at how they can take older suburban neighborhoods and create the neighborhood that was always envisioned in the community plan but never built. They worked on One Paseo’s design to give the community a “Main Street” and to design a project that is “stitched” into the neighborhood with a number of improvements on Del Mar Heights Road, gathering areas, a town green and central plaza, walkable sidewalks and cycle tracks.

“I’m tired of projects that are 70 percent parking lot calling themselves a town center,” Wolden said.

“I think this is a remarkable opportunity for the city of San Diego,” echoed One Paseo’s architect Howard Elkus. “It brings a special community a heart, and it allows for the community to compete globally. No project has more potential than the one we’ve created here.”

Marcela Escobar-Eck, representing Kilroy, told the planning commission that the Carmel Valley planning

NORTH COAST - OCTOBER 9, 2014 - PAGE A21

board members had a tough decision on Sept. 11 when they voted 11-2 to reject One Paseo, but noted that they did embrace the mixeduse concept albeit at a smaller scale.

“We cannot deliver with a modified project, and it’s impossible to create a project without unmitigated, significant impacts on traffic,” she said.

Escobar-Eck said that they have heard “don’t give us things we don’t have planned” but she said the current adapted community plan shows 500 dwelling units down the street from the proposed project that were never built — instead, the land became Solana Pacific Elementary School.

Escobar-Eck said that 500 of the 608 units in One Paseo are already accommodated for. They are giving the community the 198,000 retail that they want, and a little less than the 510,000 square feet of office space that is approved.

To deal with traffic, they are mitigating with over $5 million in “above and beyond” community benefits, including signal coordination system and streetscape improvements.

“We have worked very, very, very hard to get to this point. We feel like we are really delivering an exciting project to Carmel Valley and the city of San Diego … We feel like we have dealt with every issue brought to us,” Escobar-Eck said.

People who advocated for One Paseo to be built ranged from longtime residents to a self-proclaimed “Xennial,” the generation of people in between Generation X and the Millennials, who want to live where they work and be able to walk in their community.

“We are a community governed by a really outdated community plan,” said resident Janette Littler, adding there is a dire need for more housing, as it is nearly impossible for young adults like her daughter to find adequate housing in the community they grew up in.

Carol Klein, a Carmel Valley resident since 1986, agreed with Littler.

“I don’t want what was there in the plan: a sea of asphalt and office buildings. It won’t make the community more appealing,” Klein said.

Elyse Lowe of the Move Alliance said the project is an example of what suburbs can achieve using smartgrowth strategies.

Ann Kern, the senior director of the housing commission, said that they typi-

cally don’t take positions on developments but they are very supportive of One Paseo because there is a lack of housing in San Diego.

Mark Cafferty, president and CEO of the San Diego EDC, said that they see One Paseo as a unique opportunity to create the kind of jobs needed in San Diego, to infuse more money into the economy and to help bring more talented people to San Diego to build businesses large and small.

While the developers said six years of input have made the project better, opponents said they feel like the developers haven’t been listening at all.

Opponents told the commission that One Paseo is overdeveloped, creating four times the traffic and office buildings three times as tall as existing Carmel Valley buildings.

“One Paseo is not a village, it’s a huge upscale mall disguised as a village,” resident Diana Scheffler said.

“I’m a bit angry,” said Ken Farinsky of What Price Main Street. “Everyone I’ve talked to is against this project … We have always supported reasonable development, but this goes beyond reasonable.”

The Carmel Valley planning board’s Chris Moore said a reduced mixed-use One Paseo is a viable alternative and should not be dismissed.

On Sept. 11 the board rejected One Paseo as proposed, but said it would support a reduced mixeduse alternative that cuts the development by half — only 304 residential units, 267,000 square feet of office space and 140,000 to 198,500 square feet of retail.

The biggest issue for many is the resulting traffic. Carmel Valley planning board member Debbie Lokanc called the increase of 26,000 estimated trips a day “mind-boggling,” and said that they will have to wait for 15 years for many of Caltrans-driven traffic mitigations to occur.

Neighboring Del Mar Highlands Town Center has supported the efforts of What Price Main Street through paid advertising.

One of What Price Main Street’s founders, Bob Fuchs, said the opposition group has felt “helpless under the weight of Kilroy’s marketing juggernaut” but managed to collect 4,000 signatures against the proj-

ect.

What Price brought the signatures in large binders, dropping them with a thud on the podium in front of the commission.

Elizabeth Schreiber, the general manager of Del Mar Highlands Town Center, said their concern with the neighboring development is not about competition.

“We are very concerned about traffic, density, scale and parking,” she said, noting that One Paseo is seven times as dense as their center and has a parking ratio that is less than theirs. Schreiber said Del Mar Highlands has acknowledged that their center has a parking problem. “We all agreed to play by the rules. Why should the last buyer get to throw out all the rules?”

Thompson Fetter, who owns the Del Mar Highlands car wash, San Diego Car Care, said that the traffic mitigations are “Bandaids applied to the symptoms rather than cures to the cause of the problem.”

Local resident Joan Elliott agreed that if the mitigation is to create a “concrete freeway” through their neighborhood, then “something is wrong with the project.” Ginny Barnes, a resident of nearby Neighborhood 3, said that in order to do mitigation and to widen Del Mar Heights

posed to the passage of Proposition 2 on this ballot unless the legislature reforms the law before Election Day. As written, school districts will be required to spend their savings and not carry an adequate reserve.

This is equivalent of the government mandating that you cannot have more than two months of savings in case you lost your income. It is not prudent. We would not be able to make payroll in certain months without borrowing if these reserve requirements were in place today.

3. How would you propose to address those issues?

We have already started. We have generated a facilities master plan and a long-term vision for the district. Our next step is to map out the future financial picture. Unlike most districts in the state, ours is funded primarily by our local property taxes. We must continue to budget prudently and adequately balance competing priorities. State mandates are largely unfunded and put an

Road, the development will be cutting into a slope maintained by their homeowners association, taking away 19 mature pine trees. She contended that the mitigation should be left to the project’s side of the road.

Benjamin Snyder, a local resident since 1984, said that the two new signals and Del Mar Heights Road being widened to nine lanes will create an absolute gridlock for every resident in Carmel Valley. He said there’s no way to mitigate people not being able to travel from El Camino Real to I-5.

Snyder recalled the agenda item heard before One Paseo that morning, in which neighbors and commissioners lamented the visual impact of a 56-inch cell tower. He said with One Paseo, they are talking about nine-story buildings that will create a visual separation and physical barrier to the community.

“This is the ultimate,” Snyder said. “It looks like Genesee and La Jolla Village Drive. I went by the community plan when I bought properties here. This amendment is beyond reason.”

The bike community also seemed to be split on One Paseo’s cycle track benefit.

“The San Diego Bicycle Coalition endorses Kilroy’s

undue burden on us. We must educate our legislators through discussions about the issues that affect us and other districts, such as the San Dieguito High School District.

4. Do you agree with the way the Del Mar School board operates? If not, what changes do you think need to be made?

Yes. We are recognized as a high performing board, unlike what existed just four short years ago. Any other answer shows a naivete in school board governance.

We have built an effective governance team and operate as a high performing board should. Although we all come from different backgrounds and perspectives, we have agreed to certain norms. As such, we are one of the few elected bodies in this state that operate effectively. We approach our decisions with the mindset that they are for the best interest of the children in the district. That is our number one concern. We are transparent, open and communicate effectively. While we may disagree at times, we do not let petty issues or politics get in the way of the big

efforts to incorporate bicycle use into the project in an innovative way,” said Andy Henshaw, executive director of the coalition.

Samantha Ollinger of Bike San Diego, however, argued that .3 miles of track on a widened Del Mar Heights Road with a high volume of vehicle traffic is not bicycle- friendly at all.

Dennis Glaser, a Carmel Valley resident for 29 years, said that he’s heard a lot of statements that give the impression that a large population is against the project; but at the Sept. 11 meeting, there were only 500 people for and against the project, and there are 35,000 people in Carmel Valley.

“That’s only a small percentage of the community represented. Even if the traffic analysis is off, I would rather sit in extra traffic to stay in Carmel Valley rather than battle I-5 or 805 gridlock,” Glaser said.

In an opposite view, project opponent Gabrielle Prater stated, “I want to dispel any notion that there is community backing for this project.”

So it falls to the commission to now digest and deliberate the hours of contrasting input and information before it makes its recommendation to the San Diego City Council.

picture and we all support the ultimate board decisions.

5. How do you think your experience can help address some of these issues and others that come before the Del Mar School board?

I am the only board member who has completed the California School Board Association’s “Masters in Governance” program and have served as both president and clerk on the Del Mar School board. My four years on the board have proved invaluable to understanding school district governance. Furthermore, I have worked in both small companies and large corporations. I am a small business owner and understand the complexities of budgeting, hiring, recruiting, and training. I have been in leadership positions on many boards during my career where you learn how to work with others to achieve a common goal. I would enjoy the opportunity to use this experience and continue to serve such a wonderful district.

CLORFEINE continued from page 4 with community input, and generate enough funding to deliver on top community priorities, two of which are small class size and quality instruction.

Our challenges are best addressed through open and informed discussion among all of us, including parents, teachers, staff and the community. Different perspectives and collaboration produce not only the strongest outcomes, but also the greatest understanding and acceptance when difficult decisions need to be made.

Careful and consistent long-term planning positions the district to deliver the best outcomes. Wellthought-out, collaborative strategic planning saves the district money, the community unnecessary concern, and positions us for success.

3. How would you propose to address those issues?

These challenges and opportunities are intertwined. Failure to address any reduces our chances of success.

We must be fiscally responsible and prioritize expenditures according to community input.

We need to seek community input effectively and listen.

We should try to reduce variability in funding and generate funding sufficient to deliver on the community’s priorities. If there is not enough funding, we need to discuss that with the community and address it through a tailored, well-planned effort to approve a bond offering or parcel tax.

A case in point: By proposing a bond measure that didn’t give detail as to planned expenditures and

I do. We invest in healthy, productive rela-

didn’t focus on the most important community priorities and wasn’t sized accordingly, we didn’t listen to our community with a focus and gave the impression that our district could be more fiscally responsible. By having an abridged period in which to educate the community and advocate for its passage, we handicapped its chances. Despite our community’s value of education and generosity in donating 40 percent of the budget for our ESC program, we failed to prevent class size increases and provide more robust ESC instruction. We can do better!

4. Do you agree with the way the Del Mar School board operates? If not, what changes do you think need to be made?

I generally agree with the way the board operates.

However, I feel there needs to be greater effort to inform our community of the key challenges we face and seek input in the search for solutions. For example, while detailed aspects of contract negotiations might not be appropriate for community consumption, solicitation of input from the community as to where preventing class size increases and the elimination of over class size stipends should rank as a priority in budgeting decisions is an appropriate matter for community understanding and input.

Similarly, I feel there needs to be greater effort to seek and incorporate the input and perspectives of our community. This takes on even greater importance in situations in which board membership is concentrated among parents from only two of our eight schools.

Key decisions — be it on the best way to allocate DMSEF funds across district schools or on where district-wide tionships with parents and staff and we come together to make decisions that are in the best interests of our students. The community recently collaborated to create a strategic plan that outlines our priorities and goals.

We revisit this document annually, but rely on it daily to focus our energy and resources on what is most important, and to then measure our efforts.

programs should be located — impact schools differently, and are best addressed through robust discussion incorporating varied perspectives.

5. How do you think your experience can help address some of these issues and others that come before the Del Mar School board?

I have 16-plus years of business/legal experience, including leadership positions in the Fortune 500 and venture-backed companies.

This experience will be an asset to the district.

I have valuable perspective. This is my daughter’s sixth year in the district. My son is a first-grader. Their school has seen times with excess capacity and has been impacted. I’m witnessing the transition to Common Core mid-stream as well as what it’s like to begin with that curriculum. I’ve seen classes over the increased cap sizes. My son attended our district preschool program. I’ve seen school sites uniquely impacted by housing district-wide programs.

My children have friends at many district schools. Children in the neighborhood attend different schools. I live in an “option area” and appreciate that children might attend any district school and that we need to take a district-wide approach.

I have the passion, perspective and experience to help our schools reach their full potential! Please learn more at www.josh4schoolboard.com. No matter how you vote, we will retain the experience of at least two of the three members of the “slate”— so vote only for Josh Clorfeine to ensure we’ll add to the board’s perspective and experience!

pressing issues California school districts will have to face in the short term.

Our district has been able to overcome a severe budgetary crisis. Because of the hard work and cooperation of the teachers and the district, I am proud to say we now have a balanced budget. More impressive is the fact that through our negotiations, we are able to ensure that our class sizes will remain some of the lowest in the state (which is a priority for the board, the district and our community), while not affecting the general fund. We must continue to maintain the positive relationships we have built with the teachers, and with the community.

Another issue the district faces is an increase in student population. Due to the future construction of single-family homes on the district’s eastern border, and newly built multi-family housing on the southwest side, the district’s population will be increasing substantially.

Understanding that the State is no longer assisting in the financing of new schools, and absent any other revenue source, we have, through our strategic plan, made a full and complete analysis of all of our district’s assets. With this information, the district’s use of these assets, in a manner that retains and protects the high level of education we are currently providing, will be another focal point going forward.

3. How would you propose to address those issues?

Respectful and open discussion has been an earmark of our current board.

SCIENCE come before the Del Mar School board?

In addition to my last four years of experience on the board, I’ve worked as an elementary school teacher as well as a teacher educator.

I am knowledgeable about the issues that affect our classrooms most directly.

My work at the university keeps me abreast of educational research, which allows me to deeply understand the decisions our staff brings to the board regarding professional development, instruction, curriculum, and assessment.

ally get them interested in understanding what their opportunities are,” said King, whose husband has worked at the institute for 33 years.

Science Saturday kicked off Sept. 20, with two more lectures set for Jan. 10 and Feb. 28.

Casa de Amistad — which matches students with volunteer study companions — is the only nonprofit participating in the Science Saturday program. The remaining students come from seven San Diego schools — Crawford High School, Helix High School, High Tech High, La Jolla High School, Monte Vista High School, San Marcos High School and Lighthouse Christian Acade-

We have gone out of our way to ensure that everything that can be made public is made public, and we will continue to address any issues that arise in a similar way.

I have personally spoken with our legislators on other issues and enlightened them on how certain actions by them would affect our district. If elected again, I will continue to be proactive as it relates to the reserve cap imposed on our district, as well as other issues that may arise.

With regard to the increase in population, we as a district have been forwardthinking about the use of every available asset our district currently maintains in order to welcome the influx of students we anticipate.

We will continue to look at this issue, as homes are built and families join our district, with an eye on providing and maintaining the quality education our children deserve, and parents expect.

4. Do you agree with the way the Del Mar School board operates? If not, what changes do you think need to be made?

It has been a pleasure serving my community, and representing the parents and students in our district. It is central to my position on the board that the community have a voice in how our district functions. I have been pleased with the desire of this board, and with the district, to involve the community in decisions that are made which affect their children. In fact, should I be elected to another term, I would seek to improve the avenues of communication between the administration, the board, and the community. The district currently uses all sorts of communica-

tion tools to “get the word out.” But inevitably, there are some who simply do not receive necessary information. I will want to see a “belt and suspenders” approach to informing the community. Posting notices at schools, on the website, in newspapers, and robocalls may all be necessary to ensure adequate notification of important issues.

5. How do you think your experience can help address some of these issues and others that come before the Del Mar School board?

The proof is in the pudding. The current board has taken the reins of a district that was seemingly in constant peril, whether in litigation, or some other crisis and created an era of calm. Looking back on the last four years, it has been rare that there has been a major crisis in the district.

While certain issues may still arise, when they do, we as a board do our best to work together, conduct an exhaustive analysis, have open and frank discussion with the administration, with the community, and anyone else involved, and have made a responsible decision.

Our board works extremely well together. Perhaps this is because, while we do not always agree on things, we respectfully discuss our viewpoints, and with input from the administration, we come to a responsible determination, while never losing sight of providing the best education possible for students in the Del Mar Union School District.

It would be my privilege to remain part of this team, and continue to guide the district toward many more years of success.

who will serve as mentors.

Casa de Amistad was assigned two Ph.D. mentors who will tutor students throughout the school year.

“We want these kids to know they’re highly valued and that they can find ways to really thrive within school and within their own sense of well-being,” said King, who noted that an anonymous donor made Science Saturday possible.

“We want these students to have a real longterm view of their future.”

Casa de Amistad students meet with tutors after school twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Last year, the organization incorporated more STEM-based activities into its programs, from inviting the Torrey Pines High School Robotics Team to the campus, to recruiting mentors with backgrounds in science, technology, engineering and math.

King reached out to Mione-Green after learning about her goal to emphasize STEM-based activities into its programs by reading a Solana Beach Sun article.

“We just thought it was a natural fit,” King said.

North Shore Softball congratulates 12U team on historic season North Shore Girls Softball League celebrates its 12U team’s strong performance in the ASA Western Nationals Tournament this summer. The team finished 17th out of 44 teams from California, Nevada, Oregon, Montana and Hawaii in the competition in Roseville, Calif., in August.

Players and families saw a week of pageantry, skills demonstrations and competition where the best teams from state-level tournaments battled to be the best in the West.

Steve Walling, manager of North Shore’s 12U team, said he was proud of this group of young women, many of whom have played together for several years without even qualifying for the State Championships. “I couldn’t be happier for these girls,� he said. “The way they played and came together as a team to beat great competition was truly impressive.�

North Shore started the tournament with two impressive wins, beating Roseville 14-0, then edging local rivals Escondido in a comeback win, 8-7. The team lost the next two games to Simi Valley and Foster City only by margins of 2-1.

The group had an impressive performance, even though some members of the team who played throughout the season were not able to compete in the tournament due to conflicts. “We’re so proud of all these girls who played throughout the All-Star Season for their incredible ability to work hard and win together,� said Randy Rechs, president of the North Shore Girls Softball League.

The 2014 12U team represents only a handful of teams who have qualified for the ASA Western Nationals Tournament in its 27-year history. The team will be honored in the opening ceremony of the 2015 season on Feb. 15. Registration for the Spring 2015 recreational season opened Oct. 1. To register, visit www.NSGSL.com.

This year, the Community Resource Center expects to serve approximately 1,500 families at its 32nd annual Holiday Baskets event. While this event serves more than 3,000 children in need, there are typically only 300 bicycles available for distribution for these youth.

To increase bicycle donations, El Camino Bike Shop, at 121 N. El Camino Real, Encinitas, is collecting gently used bikes from now to Nov. 30. Those who donate a bicycle receive a $25 gift card.

“Our goal is to provide an additional 100 bikes this year to Holiday Baskets,” said Will Schellenger, owner of El Camino Bike Shop. “Bring your used bike by and we will get it to CRC.” Donated used bikes are refurbished by local volunteers and then distributed from Dec. 19-21 to youth enrolled in the Holiday Baskets program.

More than 2,000 local volunteers and 200 groups and organizations help collect and sort food, blankets, outerwear, toys, bicycles, baby items, and much more for Holiday Baskets. The program is a free shopping experience in a warehouse-like setting and is the largest distribution of its kind in the county.

“We could not continue our Holiday Baskets program without the help of such generous organizations like the El Camino Bike Shop,” said Paul Thompson, CEO of CRC. “The Community Resource Center owes a great debt of gratitude to El Camino Bike Shop for stepping forward to help provide more bikes to our families in need for the upcoming holiday season.

Community takes to two wheels to support Bike 4 Mike fundraiser The third annual Bike 4 Mike charity cycling event will take place on Sunday, Oct. 26, in Del Mar. Bike 4 Mike benefits Team Godfather Charitable Foundation’s vision to find a cure for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, while honoring Michael Ramirez from Carlsbad, who courageously battled and later passed away from the disease.

The Bike 4 Mike coastal-community bicycle tour offers distances of 10, 25, and 50 miles, starting and ending at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The event will also host spin classes and a post-ride Mexican Fiesta complete with vendor booths, music, and refreshments. This special bike event is the only bike event hosted at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

The ride is held in honor of Michael Ramirez, who was diagnosed with ALS in September 2009 and passed away from the disease in April 2012. Ramirez was a commercial banker for 35 years, and served on numerous nonprofit and foundation boards. He was always active, playing football while studying at the University of San Diego and participating in marathons, triathlons and long-distance cycling races.

Shortly after his diagnosis, Mike and his wife, Maureen, came together with family and friends in 2010 to co-found Team Godfather Charitable Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to seeking a cure for ALS through fundraising. Visit www.teamgodfather.org.

ALS, also known as “Lou Gehrig’s disease,” is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that leads to paralysis and eventually death. There are approximately 30,000 people in the U.S. living with ALS, and the average patient survives only two to five years after receiving the diagnosis. There is no effective treatment and no cure.

Team Godfather Charitable Foundation supports the ALS Therapy Development Institute, the world’s largest ALS-dedicated drug development organization, located in Cambridge, Mass. The institute has tested more potential treatments for ALS than any other research lab, thanks to support from fundraisers like Bike 4 Mike.

The institute’s lead ALS therapeutic candidate, Novartis’ (Switzerland) Gilenya (TDI132), is being investigated through a Phase II clinical trial, and the institute is raising funds to advance two other clinical candidates into patients as well as establish the world’s first ALS-dedicated personalized medicine center.

Bike 4 Mike will take place Oct. 26 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds at 2260 Jimmy Durante Blvd. Gates open at 6 a.m. for late registrations, check-in and breakfast. For information and to register, visit www.bike4mike.org. Event sponsors include the San Diego Padres, Pacific Western Bank, RIDE Cyclery, Core 40, Hoehn, Union Tribune San Diego, McCauley Builders, and VPG.

Corrections for Cootie Booties story In the story on Adria Cammeyer’s Original Cootie Booties that ran last week, the price of the package of Original Cootie Bootie and the Original Cootie Bootie web site address were incorrect.

The correct web site is www.cootiebooties.net Original Cootie Booties are, essentially, a surgical glove for the feet to wear for travel and wherever you walk barefoot. The purple Booties are meant to ward off icky stuff such as bacterial and viral diseases such as MRSA as well as athlete’s foot, warts and more. The American Academy of Dermatology and other medical organizations discourage walking barefoot through public places.

Original Cootie Booties are on sale in Hudson locations at the San Diego International Airport such as Hudson News, Lindbergh Field News and Tech on the Go, with the hope to expand to more airports around the country. The Booties are also now sold at Madison Luggage in Flower Hill Promenade in Del Mar.

Rancho Santa Fe’s Adria Cammeyer has invented the Cootie Bootie to keep feet safe.

Seany Foundation builds hope, friendships at camps for kids with cancer •Gala to be held Oct. 18 at DM Country Club

Carmel Valley’s Amy and Mitchell Robins recently were honored at the Center for Wealth and Legacy’s Inspiration Awards for their work with The Seany Foundation, which they started in memory of their son, Sean. Right: Five-hundred children affected by cancer enjoyed Seany’s Camp Reach for the Sky this summer. them live the best life they can.

About three weeks later, they heard that the American Cancer Society had notified child cancer patients that after 32 years, they were closing all 52 of their camps nationally.

Mitchell felt like this was Seany giving them a little nudge, and they flew to Berkeley to meet with the ACS. “Within 20 minutes they loved us, and we loved the camps,” he said.

The Seany Foundation was given six camps in Southern California, with ACS pledging to help support them for the next three years. This first summer was a huge, heartwarming success.

“We visited every camp, and there was not a dry eye,” Mitchell said. “It was just inspiring.”

The camps really do create lifetime friendships. Mitchell tells the story of one 12-year-old camper who was given four weeks to live — and wanted to spend one week at camp.

“This week is way more than a week to these kids,” Amy said, noting that many former campers, cancer survivors, return as counselors. “Camp lasts all year. They love each other with a passion, and they’re given a huge support group.”

Campers are given time to feel normal, be independent and make friends with peers who are going through a similar battle. Counselor Sandi Ramos, a former camper, said her first time at camp she was a self-conscious middle-schooler who had lost her hair and had a terrible limp.

“That year I met several campers who also had a limp, some who had less hair or even none at all. For the first time in a year from being diagnosed, I felt an overwhelming sense of belonging,” Sandi said. “The spirit of my late friends continues to live on through the camp. Each year I see the fighting spirit shine brightly.”

Another camper, Hailey Johnson, said, “I am not embarrassed of my big scars or my thin hair or anything else that is related to my cancer. I am proud of them and I am proud to

Amy said.

“When he did die, we were still in the mode to battle on with him, and naturally the foundation was it. This was our way of battling on.”

In 2005, Sean had an idea about starting a foundation and calling it Seany, wanting to help kids like him to keep up the good fight.

Sean spent a lot of time in bed and was always on his computer, researching his disease and connecting with young cancer patients around the world. He became frustrated that so many kids had cancer and nobody seemed to be doing anything about it. Funding is a challenge: 5 cents of every $1 of the federal cancer research budget goes to child cancer research, and 3 to 4 cents of every dollar donated to the American Cancer Society does.

“He didn’t understand the injustice. All of these kids were suffering, and he thought, ‘Why don’t people know about this, and why don’t they care?’” Mitchell said.

Mitchell said they held off on starting the foundation that year because Sean was still battling so hard and they didn’t want him to be discouraged if they weren’t raising the kind of money he envisioned.

If Sean could see now what the funds raised in his name have been able to do, he would surely be amazed.

The foundation funded The Seany Room, a teen lounge at Rady Children’s Hospital; the Some of My Best Friends Are Bald glee club and performing arts program at Rady; the Art From the Heart showcase for children with cancer and their siblings; and the Rhythm of Hope music program at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and LAC+USC Medical Center.

The foundation also continues to push research, funding a clinical trials associate at Rady. The clinical trials fit the idea of helping kids now and improving their quality of life.

While much of the Seany Foundation’s money went to pediatric cancer research fellows at UC San Diego, the Robinses were advised by a UC San Diego researcher to do something more tangible to help kids with cancer now — to help

NEW LIS Trilog TING yI

BY KAREN BILLING Amy and Mitchell Robins lived every parent’s worst nightmare when they watched their son, Sean, wage a war against cancer, fighting it with everything he had.

When he died at age 22 in 2006, the Carmel Valley couple found a way for Sean’s legacy to live on and continue to make a difference in the lives of children with cancer. Over the past seven years, they have raised more than $2 million, and this year ran Seany’s Camp Reach for the Sky, a free summer camp for children with cancer and their siblings once run by the American Cancer Society.

With the Seany Foundation taking over the camps from ACS this year, 500 children in Southern California were able to have life-changing camp experiences this summer. Camp Reach for the Sky is a safe, fun place where they can escape from the stress of cancer and connect with other kids who understand what they’re going through.

The Robinses were honored Sept. 17 at the Center for Wealth and Legacy’s Inspiration Awards at the Sanford Consortium for Regenerative Medicine. They were just two of several philanthropic individuals honored for their positive impacts on the community.

“To me, we do what we need to do. I don’t need to be thanked,” said Amy. “We do it because we want to do it, for the right reasons. When my son was sick all those years, people would say, ‘You’re so brave, you’re such a hero.’ I wasn’t a hero, and I wasn’t brave. I was just doing what anyone else would have to do in that same situation. Child cancer is much more common than people want to believe, and we don’t know why it happens — it’s random.

“We think about him every single day of our lives. (The foundation) helps the emptiness just a little bit.”

Added Mitchell, “Sean is behind everything we do.”

Neither Amy nor Mitchell takes a salary from the foundation — Mitchell works as a CPA and Amy as a dental hygienist — but seven days a week, they are working for Seany.

Sean was the Robinses’ middle child, an athletic 16-yearold student at Francis Parker School when he was diagnosed with a rare form of bone cancer called Ewing’s sarcoma.

“He was pitching in a baseball game and then the next morning, he couldn’t get out of bed,” Mitchell said. “All of a sudden, the world collapsed.”

Ewing’s sarcoma is typically diagnosed between ages 10 and 20. It’s more common in boys and usually shows no symptoms — the tumor grows until it impinges on something and causes pain. In Sean’s case, it was on his tailbone.

Sean fought the cancer for seven years.

He had an 11-month remission that overlapped his senior year of high school — he played in the all-city baseball game, was named the homecoming king, was accepted to Northwestern University and played Daddy Warbucks in the school production of “Annie.”

“He was singing and dancing. Nobody was more surprised than us,” said Amy, who noted that his hair had finally grown back after his treatments, and he played the famously bald Warbucks character with hair.

Heartbreakingly for the Robinses, after this “glorious” period, the cancer came back. Sean never got to go to Northwestern — his bags were packed but he relapsed, the cancer in his lungs. He postponed Northwestern for a year and tried to go off to school again, but the cancer returned, this time in his brain.

The Robinses said the pain of bone cancer is “awful,” and Sean was in constant therapies — eight different kinds of radiation, nine different chemotherapy protocols.

“He did everything and then more. He was just absolutely unwilling to call it quits, to give up. He wouldn’t sign a ‘do not resuscitate’ order. He was just not going to die,”

This past week, a group of 20 veterans hiked up right) and veteran members Iron Mountain together for a day of fun, physical endurance to help create a positive team-building experience.

Scott Thorne is just one of the many members that Team RWB has supported. Thorne, a courageous and highly trained Army veteran who served in the Iraq War in 2004, was ambushed in Mosul, Iraq. He suffered brain damage and lost the majority of his eyesight because of a bullet lodged in his brain. He was medically retired in 2008 and struggled to integrate back into daily life. TRWB has helped in that struggle through rides to events, a service project at his house, travel to a TRWB triathlon camp and the use of a custommade tandem bike, allowing him to participate in events with his fellow TRWB team members.

“The San Diego Chapter has been providing services to over 700 local veterans for more than two years,” stated Joshua Arnston, San Diego Chapter captain and Navy veteran.

Afghan Whigs, reunited after 16 years, to perform at Belly Up

BY ROB LEDONNE It’s been 16 years since the famed alternative rock act The Afghan Whigs released new music, but the band is back in a big way with a brand-new album, “Do to the Beast,” and a nationwide tour that finds itself at Solana Beach’s Belly Up Tavern on Oct. 24.

“How long does that feel like? I can’t really put it into words,” said the group’s frontman, Greg Dulli, from his Los Angelesarea home, who’s been relishing the past year. “I enjoy all of the parts of putting out a new album; it’s impossible to choose just one. The creativity of the entire process is appealing to me.”

Since the release of their first EP in 1988, The Afghan Whigs have carved out a place for themselves in the annals of rock history with an array of successful albums and singles including “66” and “Rebirth of Cool.”

The band was an indie darling throughout the late ’80s and early ’90s, until their album “Gentlemen” went mainstream. It spawned a variety of hit singles that received regular airplay on MTV and was released 21 years ago this month. (To celebrate, a deluxe anniversary edition of “Gentlemen” is set for release Oct. 27).

“I’m still not sure what it’s like to have 21 years pass,” Dulli explained. “Time is always passing, and it’s passing now. I remember the making of that record and the traveling that went into it, since most of it was written on the road. In that respect, it feels like yesterday.”

Since then, the Whigs became legendary in music circles for being influential on a

host of bands that followed, including The National, Interpol, and My Chemical Romance. That’s largely thanks to the handiwork of Dulli, who wrote and produced much of the Whigs’ catalog, and explained his deceivingly simple process as “coming up with some music you like and putting a melody over it.”

Despite all of their rock success and notoriety, the Whigs disbanded in 2001. By all accounts it was an amicable split, and was spurred by the fact that members of the band found themselves living all over the country. (The Whigs first started in Cincinnati; today band members live in New York, New Orleans, and Los Angeles.)

“I did an acoustic tour in 2010 and I was playing some Afghan Whigs songs that I had not played in many years,” said Dulli of the impetus for the reunion. “The bass player for the Whigs, John Curley, joined me for some of the shows, and that was the first time in about 10 years we traveled together.

That was the lead-up to it, and it just felt very normal.”

While Dulli has been active in music during the Whigs’ long break (including singing for a new band, The Twilight Singers, and taking part in various producing gigs), the music industry has changed a great deal since the Whigs’ heyday.

“I kept on going after the Whigs split; I was not frozen in time,” Dulli said. “The recording industry is nothing more than a microcosm of life itself. Change happens, and you adapt or die, it’s the law of the jungle.

What was so great about the industry 20 years ago anyway? There have always been problems and great things.”

The Afghan Whigs play at the Belly Up in Solana Beach on Oct. 24.

Dulli still isn’t sure whether this tour or the new album will be the start of something new for the Whigs or a one-time-only thing. For now, he’s looking forward to continuing the band’s reunion tour and performing at the Belly Up — a long way, indeed, from the band’s humble beginnings back in Cincinnati.

Said Dulli, “My feelings for Southern California have always been warm and fuzzy.”

Doors open at 8:30 p.m. Oct. 24 for The Afghan Whigs concert, which starts at 9 p.m.

‘Freud’s Last Session’ at North Coast Rep DM Library to host discussion on imagines meeting of two great minds book about the veteran experience North Coast Repertory Theater’s newest production is “Freud’s Last Session,” a lively, witty Off-Broadway production about a fictional meeting between famed psychotherapist Sigmund Freud and the writer C.S. Lewis.

Near the end of his life, Freud invites a final visitor, the writer C.S. Lewis, who will soon gain wide fame for his book, “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.” Not only are their views highly divergent — Freud is a committed atheist; Lewis, once an atheist, is now a committed Anglican — the two are a study in contrasts. Freud is irascible and adamantly opinionated; Lewis is sunny, warm and unflappable.

The two men engage in a far-ranging, lively, witty debate touching on love, religion, politics and the meaning of life. Playwright Mark St. Germain infuses this fictional meeting with gentle humor and sharp dialogue. Winner of the 2011 Best Play Award by the Off Broadway Alliance, this San Diego premiere is a must-see for the discerning theater lover.

Director David Ellenstein directs Michael Santo and Bruce Turk in “Freud’s Last Session.” The design staff includes Marty Burnett (Scenic Design), Matt Novotny (Lighting Design), Alina Bokovikova (Costume Design), Melanie Chen (Sound Design), and Benjamin Cole (Props Design). Cindy Rumley stage manages.

Connection to community brings Pacifica Del Mar to 25th anniversary

BY KRISTINA HOUCK While its seasonal menus have changed, Pacifica Del Mar has remained a permanent fixture in the Del Mar community for a quarter-century. Celebrating its 25th anniversary this month, the seafood restaurant opened in 1989 atop Del Mar Plaza.

“Not too many restaurants make it to 25 years,” said owner Kipp Downing.

“The restaurant business is trendy and ever-changing.

Most times, if you make it 10 Top: Views of the ocean make dining at Pacifica Del Mar years, you’ve had a long run. a special occasion. Below: The bar area was part of an To make it 25 years, it helps expansion about three years ago. COURTESY PHOTOS to have an ocean view and be in a town like Del Mar.” Located at 1555 Camino Del Mar in the Village of Del Mar, Pacifica Del Mar was one of the Del Mar Plaza’s first tenants.

The then-6,000-squarefoot restaurant started out with a Pacific Rim-style menu created by original chef Neil Stuart. Diners can still sample many of Stuart’s original dishes, including the Japanese clam chowder, mustard catfish, sugar-spiced salmon and takoshimi.

“They’re bulletproof items,” Downing said. “People still love them today, like they loved them 25 years ago.”

But to keep things fresh, Pacifica Del Mar has evolved over the years. While several classic dishes stay on the menu, longtime Executive Chef Chris Idso changes the menu seasonally.

Now 7,500 square feet, Pacifica Del Mar has undergone five major renovations since it opened, the latest about three years ago when the restaurant added 500 square feet and expanded its bar and restrooms. The first major remodel took place in 1992, when Downing expanded the original bar, which had only 10 seats when the restaurant first opened.

In 1998, almost a decade after opening, Pacifica Del Mar opened Breeze Café, a 2,500-square-foot casual, outdoor dining space below the restaurant on Del Mar Plaza’s midlevel.

Pacifica Del Mar was also one of the first restaurants in San Diego to convert to a nonsmoking establishment in the early ’90s. Many said the transition was “risky,” Downing said, but revenue actually skyrocketed after he made the change.

“It turned out to be one of the best decisions I ever made,” said Downing.

Pacifica Del Mar was one of three San Diego restaurants that he and a former business partner opened in the 1980s.

Downing grew up in Colorado and studied business administration and management at the University of Colorado at Boulder. After graduation, he relocated to California, where he worked for Victoria Station, a chain of railroad-themed steakhouses in the 1970s.

In 1980, he ventured south, opening Café Pacifica with his business partner in Old Town. Four years later, the pair opened Pacifica Grill in downtown San Diego. Pacifica Grill closed a decade later in 1994, and Café Pacifica lasted more than 20 years, closing in 2004.

Living in Mission Hills and wanting to move to North County, Downing looked at various locations for Pacifica Del Mar, including the Lumberyard Shopping Center in Encinitas, but ultimately decided on the Del Mar Plaza.

“The Plaza, at the time, was groundbreaking on construction, along with L’Auberge across the street,” recalled Downing, who now lives in Carmel Valley.

Although the look and menu of Pacifica Del Mar has changed over the years, the restaurant’s traditions keep the customers coming back, he said. In addition to keeping several favorites on the menu, the restaurant has retained a number of familiar faces.

Six servers have been on staff for 20 or more years, including one person since day one, Downing said. Two of the managers started about 20 years ago as busboys.

“When you’re trying to have continuity with guests and community, it’s good to have people that stick around — besides just me,” he said.

To celebrate its 25-year history, Pacifica Del Mar recently introduced a three-course tasting menu. From old classics to new favorites, the tasting menu highlights some of the restaurant’s most popular dishes for $25, and will rotate nightly through the end of the year.

In addition, a few hundred friends, family and patrons were expected to celebrate the occasion at a private party Oct. 7 at the restaurant.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Propane Delivery Service delivers to homes, companies, businesses and more

BY DIANE Y. WELCH Jim Williams is a California native, born and raised in La Mesa. His son attended the same elementary school that he attended, and remarkably, they had the same teacher. So it’s not surprising that Williams’ strong links to community, and his own family continuity, led him to start a business where his East County roots had long ago taken hold.

For more than 20 years, Williams has been in the propane business and has learned everything there is to learn about propane, he said. After being employed by a major national propane company, he learned how to respect and handle this volatile gas by taking classes in a special school program. However, in Southern California there were few opportunities to grow and expand his territory, so he took it upon himself to do just that.

“Working for the big national propane companies, I learned about customer service,” said Williams with his tongue planted firmly in his cheek. “I knew if I started my own company, I would do things much differently.”

From Williams’ point of view, customer service fell far short of what he deemed an acceptable level, and he was determined to surpass that standard.

So he made a stand, left the corporate world of propane and started his own family-run business in 2000. Propane Delivery Service was founded with its headquarters on the border of El Cajon and Alpine. Williams’ sister, Tomi McCloskey, was hired to work in the office and now runs operations with the close company of two mascot dogs, Archie and Bailey, Boston terriers who constantly “hang out in the office,” said Williams.

There are five delivery trucks in the fleet and they travel the length and breadth of San Diego County, from Rancho Santa Fe to the Mexican border and inland to East County.

The high-quality propane is delivered from Los Angeles refineries and is stored in PDS storage tanks in Alpine.

PDS is one of San Diego County’s largest family-owned

free estimates along with unmatched propane knowledge, which has resulted in its countywide success.

The drivers are handpicked by Williams, and are friendly and very knowledgeable, he said. The company offers regular specials for its customers that change from time to time, with the most recent discounts posted on its website. Propane Delivery Servicedelivers to homes, companies, hotels and restaurants and with its competitive pricing is in high demand.

“We think about propane 24/7,” said Williams. “Our job is to be sure that we exceed a client’s expectations in terms of products, service and delivery, so we also offer 24hour service.”

Most of Propane Delivery Service’s customers have been with them since the company started, and more than 80 percent of the company’s new clients come from referrals by these satisfied customers. The pricing of PDS is very competitive, with expert installation skills for any application and

Best-selling authors, screenwriters, publishers, agents, publicists, platform builders, and a host of others will gather at the Hyatt Regency, La Jolla, from Oct. 24-26 for three days of lectures and workshops geared to helping aspiring writers succeed.

Registration will be capped at 200.

People are reading, writers are writing, and the publishing industry is growing. But aspiring writers need the tools with which to succeed. And the La Jolla Writers Conference provides them.

In the 21st century, the publishing industry has undergone a sea of change. Selfpublishing has democratized the industry, growing the number of books published each year from around 100,000 to close to a million, even as many of the major publishing houses have consolidated or folded.

Sales in bookstores have given way to online book sales. And most young people now consume books on their electronic devices or in audio format, with many of their seniors making the same transitions.

Now that anyone can publish, the marketplace is flooded with reading choices. So while it has become easier to publish, actual success has become more elusive. Among agents, publishers, distributors, and buyers for stores who decide which books will actually hit the shelves, the author’s platform is discussed with the same importance as the quality of the work.

From what to look for in a contract to choosing the best method of publication to who to engage for assistance with everything from editing to design to platform building to representation, writers must make choices that will determine how well they and their books fare in an ever-expanding marketplace.

The conference, to which both organizers and faculty donate their time, has been named one of the 84 conferences in the country — there are more than 1,600 — that is worth the money.

Health Care System Makes it Difficult for End-of-Life Patients No matter our political, religious, cultural or socio-economical differences, the one thing that we all have in common is death.

Unfortunately, creating a “good death” to the elderly and sick is not easy and it could be

getting even more difficult.

A recent New York Times article highlighted the struggles of a 91-year-old Joseph Andrey whose dying wish was to be able to return to his apartment so that he might pass away in the comfort of his own home. Unfortunately, instead he felt like a prisoner of the health care system, a system that had pushed him back and forth between hospitals and rehabilitation facilities so many times that he and his daughter had lost count. Sadly, Joseph is not alone in this story.

A new report from The Institute of Medicine defines the elements of a good death as one that is “managed carefully over weeks, months or even years, through many ups and downs.

Ideally, health care harmonizes with social,

psychological, and spiritual support as the end of life approaches. To this end, care near the end of life should be person-centered, familyoriented, and evidence-based.”

In our current system, however, palliative care – or care meant to relieve pain when there is no cure – often fails to meet the needs of patients. Policies and payments that support high-quality end-of-life-care are largely inadequate or absent altogether. Oftentimes, regulations that were put in place to protect the patient are circumvented or ignored.

One of the main problems is that profits and bottom lines benefit from intensive and expensive treatments far more than respecting the wishes of people at the end of their life.

Some studies have even shown that the

expensive treatment that is frequently ordered is either unnecessary or harmful to the patient.

Joan M. Teno of Brown University’s heath system says, “Until our current health care system is no longer based on piecework reimbursement, and becomes accountable for person-centered care, we all need vigilant advocates to protect us from this ‘medicalindustrial complex.’”

At the Encinitas Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, we firmly believe in person-centered care and we always put the patient’s needs at the forefront of every decision.

Jung lecture to discuss Hillman’s work The Friends of Jung offer a Friday lecture on “Archetypal Psychology: The Clinical Legacy of James Hillman,” at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 24, at the Winston School, Del Mar. Jason Butler, Ph.D., will discuss archetypal psychology, a post-Jungian mode of theory and practice initiated primarily through the work of James Hillman. Hillman’s writing carries a far-reaching collection of evocative ideas with a wealth of implications for the field of clinical psychology.

Archetypal psychology has shifted the focus of therapy away from cure of the symptom toward vivification and expression of the mythopoetic imagination.

This presentation will provide an overview of the primary themes taken up by archetypal psychology, as differentiated from classical Jungian analysis and Freudian derivatives of psychoanalysis. Particular focus will be given to the imaginal approach to psychotherapy, which treats all psychic events as metaphorical, expressive of meaning through aesthetic display, and rife with meaning.

Butler is an assistant professor in the Holistic Counseling department at John F. Kennedy University and has a psychotherapy practice in Oakland. He received his doctorate in clinical psychology from Pacifica Graduate Institute and his master’s degree in transpersonal psychology from Saybrook University.

His recent book, “Archetypal Psychotherapy: The Clinical Legacy of James Hillman,” is in the Routledge series on Research in Analytical Psychology and Jungian Studies.

Cost is $10 for full-time students, $15 for Friends of Jung members and senior citizens (65-plus), and $20 for non-members.

The Winston School is at 215 Ninth St., Del Mar. Call 858-259-8155.

FasTracKids Del Mar will be joining other FasTracKids centers worldwide in promoting early literacy for every child.

The Read for the Record campaign involves millions of children and adults who strive to break the world record for the most children reading the same book on the same day.

“Bunny Cakes” by author Rosemary Wells will be this year’s choice to help children become active readers. By pledging to read, FasTracKids is helping create awareness for the importance of early childhood literacy in the community.

“Children are born learning, but not all children have the same advantages in receiving early education for a bright future,” said Nancy Faunce, president and CEO of FasTracKids International. “At FasTracKids, we’re building on the natural curiosity of the youngest learners. By hosting Jumpstart’s Read for the Record, we can help raise public awareness about the early education gap that exists between income levels and share our goals for developing the whole child with the knowledge to become creative thinkers, skilled leaders and resourceful

be here.”

In one video on the Seany Foundation’s Facebook page, kidney cancer patient Hannah Higgins, 5, shows her calendar with the days crossed out until she gets to go to Seany’s Camp Reach for the Sky. “If you have cancer, don’t worry, because I am brave and you can be brave also,” she says on the video, which she asked her parents to record as a “commercial” for other child patients.

Days later at camp, she was singing songs from “Frozen” with a fellow camper, swinging their arms and holding hands.

The foundation now runs three kinds of Seany’s Camp Reach for the Sky, all completely free: a weeklong overnight camp for children with cancer, ages 8 to 18; a weeklong camp for siblings of cancer patients, ages 8 to 18; and a day camp for kids with cancer and their siblings, ages 4 through 10.

“The goal in the next three years is to get up to 1,000 kids,” Mitchell said.

Running the camps is a great deal of work — finding camp time, extensive background checks for all staff, finding staffers who truly care and take into account the incredibly special needs of their campers.

“It’s definitely a lot of work, but it’s very rewarding,” said Mitchell. “I can’t think of a better legacy for Seany.”

It costs about $570 per child to go to camp, and The Seany Foundation relies on four fundraisers: Seany’s Happy Camper 5K (Jan. 31, 2015), the Swinging for Seany golf tournament (June 22, 2015), the Barona Bash, and the foundation’s biggest event, its yearly gala.

This year’s “Everything Is Possible Celebration” will be held Saturday, Oct. 18, at the Del Mar Country Club.

This year’s theme is, fittingly, “Camp,” and guests will enjoy a sit-down dinner, live and silent auctions, and entertainment.

Everything raised from the gala goes directly toward making a wonderful time for children at camp.

Yes, the recognition and awards are nice, but the Robinses do what they do because of that camp, because of those smiles on the children’s faces and the hope they are able to bring. And they do what they do for Seany so that there may one day be a cure. “Because nobody should go through what Sean went through,” Mitchell said.

How sweet it is – Some sugar-free baking tips The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN I enjoy reading your columns each week. I wondered if you would consider doing one on finding sugar substitutes for baking.

My 12-year-old daughter was diagnosed last year with Type 1 diabetes, and I would love to come up with more creative ways to bake.

Thank you, Beth Newton When a lit match is tossed into a pile of dry, brittle straw, it ignites in a flash, and burns to ashes almost instantly. But a thick log thrown into a blazing fire

burns slowly and steadily.

The former is a metaphor for eating refined sugars or simple carbohydrates, like cotton candy and white bread, which causes a spike in blood sugar levels, while walloping the pancreas. The latter scenario occurs when eating complex carbs or sugar substitutes, such as whole-wheat pancakes drizzled in brown rice syrup, causing a gradual rise in blood glucose.

The glycemic index is an indicator of the speed at which particular foods cause a boost in the blood sugar levels. High glycemic index foods like glucose (GI 100) should be swapped out for low GI sweeteners (Stevia 0) not only for diabetics, but the health-conscious smart eater. The sweet tooth denizens can easily satisfy their craving with such delightful choices as: Stevia, an herb indigenous to South America is 300 times sweeter than sugar, so a little pinch will do you. This zero-calorie sweetener with no glycemic impact can be enjoyed by diabetes in such treats as dark chocolate fudge, dessert

crepes, oatmeal raisin cookies and apple crisps.

Yacón syrup, an Incan culinary treasure from the Andes Mountains is derived from tuberous roots of the yacón plant. Low in calories and sugar levels, this diabetic-friendly sweetener has a mother lode of antioxidants with notes reminiscent of caramelized sugar making for divine baked apples, flans, quick breads and muffins, or an exotic topping for ice cream.

Sucanat, unlike refined sugar is dried, coarse unrefined cane juice containing natural trace minerals. Sucanat metabolizes at a slower rate than sugar, avoiding that sharp, sugar rush, while infusing desserts with nutty caramel nuances.

Honey, an immuneprotective ancient food, has flavor ranges from orangey citrus to woodsy and caramel essences, imparting a moist texture to cakes, loaves and yeast rolls, and a gooeyness to baklava and nutty dessert bars.

Agave syrup, derived from the same plant used to manufacture tequila (I’ll

drink to that!), has been revered for centuries by the Aztecs as a healing folk medicine. But today, agave has developed a notorious reputation as a high fructose sweetener. So read labels carefully and kibosh brands with high fructose levels (over 55 percent).

Coconut sugar is sap extracted from the coconut palm, reduced to granules, paste or block form. This tropical sweetener is high in nutrients and low on the glycemic index. Its rich caramelized color and flavor dial up everything from dessert bars to rice puddings.

One word of warning—it’s loaded with calories.

Use pulverized dried fruits, including dates, figs, raisins and cranberries or pureed apricots for a brown sugar alternative, giving a naturally sweet oomph to muffins, cakes, scones, biscotti and quick breads.

Brown rice syrup has the nutritional benefits of brown rice with the consistency of honey. A delicious condiment with butterscotch notes, drizzle liberally on breakfast delights and gelatos, or jazz up carrot and zucchini cakes.

16969 Mimosa, Rancho Santa Fe, CA Beautifully remodeled single level Covenant home sequestered on a flat, walled, park-like lot with pool/ spa and charming detached guest house. The main home is designed for both elegant living and entertaining with wood and stone floors, French doors in every bedroom, numerous skylights, whole house audio system, chef’s kitchen opening to a spacious family room and outdoor dining area, and a large bonus room above. The private master suite includes a study, his and her walk in closets and easy access to each with French doors to beautiful outdoor spaces. The outdoor area is paradise with expansive grassy area, seating and dining areas, fireplace, BBQ, and Bocce ball court. The detached guest house is stylish and spacious with its own kitchen and media center. The location of this peaceful paradise is superb.

The Covenant trail is directly behind the property making it an easy walk into the Village. Roger Rowe K-8 is a block away, and the RSF Golf and Tennis is a one-minute ride in your golf cart. This gem has all the qualities of what is most prized in the Covenant of Rancho Santa Fe.

Pure buttery maple syrup comes from the sap of sugar maple trees. This Canadian import contains a load of antioxidants, although its glycemic load is mid-range at 54, so use in moderation.

Applesauce can be swapped out for equal amounts of sugar. Use unsweetened jarred or madefrom-scratch with less tart varieties, including Fujis or Galas.

Applesauce adds moistness to cakes and muffins, and the right amount of sweetness to oatmeal bars and cookies.

A dash of immuneboosting cinnamon (which has been found to stabilize blood sugar levels) adds an exotic sweetness to everything from apple pies and crisps to granola bars and biscotti.

Puréed bananas, especially overly ripe ones are super sweet to swap out sugar altogether in quick breads and assorted baked goods.

Whip up a batch of rich, syrupy balsamic glaze to drizzle on fresh berries, angel food cake, dessert pizzas or anywhere you need a sweet fix without the sugar rush.
