Two teens arrested for threats leading to school lockdowns BY PAULINE REPARD, KAREN KUCHER AND SUSAN SHRODER, SPECIAL TO THE CV NEWS/DM TIMES/SB SUN Two teenagers have been arrested as suspects in social media threats posted Nov. 20 in what are believed to be unrelated incidents against two Carmel Valley schools, San Diego police said. A 16-year-old girl who was taken into custody Friday night, Nov. 21, is suspected in a threat the afternoon of Nov. 20 against Canyon Crest Academy, police Lt. Kevin Mayer said in a statement. She is not a student at the school, he said. Earlier Friday, police said a 17-year-old was arrested as a suspect in a threat posted Thursday morning on the Yik Yak social media app against Torrey Pines High School. He was taken into custody Thursday. Police said he is not a Torrey Pines student. The threats are not believed related, Mayer said. “At this time, the Torrey Pines High School threat and the Canyon Crest Academy threat are separate incidents and do not appear to be connected,” Mayer said. Both schools are in the San Dieguito Union High School District. In a news conference held at Torrey Pines High the morning of Nov. 21, San Diego police Capt. Stephanie Rose declined to discuss many details of the investigation. “We take threats like this very seriously and we utilize all resources to determine who is involved,” she said. “The perceived anonymity of the Internet can cease the moment somebody makes a threat.” On Nov. 20, a Torrey Pines High student notified his father that a posting on Yik Yak said the poster would shoot everyone at 11:55 a.m. Torrey Pines Principal David Jaffe, at the Nov. 21 media briefing, said when he learned of the threat around 10:30 a.m. and told police, See LOCKDOWNS, page 28

BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District has been proactive about taking steps to resolve a substitute shortage that districts across the state are dealing with, but the district also wants to see some changes in the way its local sub consortium is run. DMUSD is part of a substitute consortium made up of five school districts: Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, Encinitas and Cardiff. It is managed by the Encinitas Union School District. Jason Romero, assistant superintendent of

human resources, and Superintendent Holly McClurg were meeting with the consortium last week to discuss management and best practices. “We are not really happy with the way the substitute consortium is running,” Romero told the board at the Nov. 19 meeting. Tiffany Kinney, co-president of the Del Mar California Teachers Association, said they appreciate the changes the district has made so far and they hope to have positive results. One change has been to reduce Cognitively Guided Instruction by 20 percent. Extended

Studies Curriculum teachers who work in math instruction will continue with the training, but some other ESC teachers’ training was canceled. Kinney said the teachers who are missing the training are disappointed and they hope there is some way to recapture the training at a later date. The district has also created a pool of classified instructors that has put nine additional subs into the mix, which Romero said doesn’t sound like a lot but is actually very helpful.

Transit District to seek proposals on expanded footprint for SB train station property BY KRISTINA HOUCK After a lack of interest from developers the first time around, Solana Beach and the North County Transit District are aiming to develop the train station property with an expanded plan. In an unanimous vote, the City Council on Nov. 19 supported the district in reissuing a request for proposals to convert the Solana Beach

Transit Center and some of the adjacent surface parking at Lomas Santa Fe Drive and North Cedros Avenue into offices, a restaurant and an underground parking structure. “It really gives the developer an opportunity to make better use of the site, while saving some space at the northern end for future development and parking, if needed,” said Councilman Mike Nichols. “I’m encouraged to see

this move forward with a much broader footprint for development.” Although a request for proposals was issued earlier this year to develop the train station and the vacant 1.2-acre corner lot, only two were submitted, and one was received after the May deadline. NCTD returned both proposals unopened after determining “that one proposal was not sufficient to determine the best See STATION, page 30

Open house spotlights Double Track SB council vote accepts Gateway land and Special Events Platform for Del Mar as part of city’s conservation legacy BY KRISTINA HOUCK Community members gathered at an open house Nov. 18 at Santa Fe Christian School in Solana Beach to comment on and learn more about the environmental assessment for the San Dieguito Double Track and Special Events Platform project. The open house for the project, to be built at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, was hosted by the San Diego Association of Governments and the North County Transit District. “These are very useful for us to make sure we hear from the surrounding communities,” said Project Manager Linda Culp at the event, which was the second informational open house. The first was held in October 2013. “It gives the project a check and makes sure we’re on the right track.” The $142 million project will add a one-mile stretch of second main track between Del Mar and Solana Beach, replace a nearly 100-year-old wooden trestle rail bridge over the San Dieguito River, and add a special events rail platform on the west side of the fairgrounds. The project is part of the North Coast Corridor Program, a comprehensive package of highway, rail and transit, and coastal access improvements, which spans 27 miles from Oceanside to La Jolla. Although it is not yet fully funded for construction, it is expected to be completed by 2030. “We’re looking at taking cars off the road, reducing greenhouse gas emissions

and helping the environment,” Culp said. “We definitely see this project as one of the key projects to let us do that. Having a platform at the fairgrounds, we think, will relieve traffic not only on the Interstate, but on the local streets.” The proposed platform prompted the most commentary from attendees at the first open house, which turned into a question-and-answer session at the Powerhouse Community Center in Del Mar. Residents raised concerns about potential impacts of lights, traffic, security and noise, especially from train horns and announcements. Although the latest open house was much more composed, with attendees quietly visiting topic stations to talk with SANDAG representatives, engineers and consultants around the campus chapel, Del Mar officials made it clear that the city still has some concerns. “We were looking forward to seeing the update, what SANDAG’s come up with, after the environmental assessment was made,” said Councilwoman Sherryl Parks at the open house. “We, in Del Mar, have put together some specific requests and concerns, and we’re still looking for answers.” While Del Mar supports the concept, officials and residents contend the 1,000-foot-long platform and 8-foot-high bridge should be reduced, and other problems, including increased light, noise and trash, must be addressed. Parks and Mayor Lee Haydu serve as

BY KRISTINA HOUCK The piece of coastal property that’s partly responsible for Solana Beach becoming a city is now officially part of the community. In a unanimous vote, the Solana Beach City Council on Nov. 19 accepted the Gateway property as a conservation easement from the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy, forever protecting the parcel as open space. “It has such meaning to our community — it’s pretty much the reason we’re incorporated,” said Deputy Mayor Lesa Heebner. “This is going to be a wonderful legacy for all of us who have been involved in this city and in this effort for many years.” Located east of Coast Highway 101 across from Cardiff State Beach, the 3.44acre parcel was long sought after by real estate developers and potential property owners. The people who pushed for Solana Beach’s incorporation in 1986 did so in part because they were outraged when the county approved plans for a hotel development on the site, which is the “gateway” or north entrance to the city. “Please vote to accept the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy’s generous offer to grant this conservation easement to the city of Solana Beach,” said Gerri Retman-Opper with tears in her eyes, before the council’s 5-0 vote. A 30-year Solana Beach resident, Retman-Opper spearheaded the fight against subsequent development proposals, which threatened community character, public views and the ecology of nearby San Elijo

Lagoon. Because she played a critical role in the successful effort to save the property, Assemblywoman Toni Atkins named her as one of 78th Assembly District’s 2014 “Women of the Year.” “Your ‘Yes’ vote is truly a legacy vote,” Retman-Opper said. “It will seal the protection of this open space forever.” “We need an agreement that can be enforceable forever, after all of us are long gone and we forgot we why worked our butts off for years to protect this property,” added Solana Beach resident Gary Martin, who also played a large role in the effort. In 2012, the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy, a nonprofit dedicated to protecting, preserving and enhancing the San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve, acquired the Gateway property for $3.75 million in loans. Today, more than 1,100 contributors have raised $3.4 million toward paying off the lenders. With San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy’s dedication of the land, Solana Beach has access to monitor and enforce the terms of the conservation easement and to prevent development. The conservancy, which is headed by Executive Director Doug Gibson, has also offered to restore the site to its natural condition, and then maintain the property as open space and natural habitat for native vegetation and wildlife. During the meeting, Scott Griffiths, president of the conservancy’s board of directors, announced that former Solana Beach Mayor Tom Golich, David Winkler

One Paseo slated to go before City Council Jan. 27 Kilroy’s One Paseo development is tentatively scheduled to go before San Diego City Council on Tuesday, Jan. 27. According to Mel Millstein from Councilmember Sherri Lightner’s office, the meeting will probably be a night meeting — at 6 p.m. — rather than a morning meeting in order to allow more people to attend. Millstein told the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board that the council is looking at the possibility of holding the meeting in Carmel Valley rather than downtown, but potential council meeting sites must meet many city criteria. “Sherri wants it out in the community if possible,” Millstein said, adding that his office would keep constituents posted. Millstein said it is possible the meeting could be moved to the larger Golden Hall venue downtown, next to council chambers on C Street.

DMUSD fifth-graders score high in science BY KAREN BILLING According to the results from spring’s CAASPP science test, Del Mar Union School District fifth grade students are 94 percent proficient and advanced in science. Shelley Petersen, assistant superintendent of instructional services, said the results are an “outstanding example of success,” especially when compared with county levels of 67 percent proficient and advanced, and statewide levels of 60 percent. From 2012 to 2014, the district’s scores have increased by 2 percent. Petersen said that the scores reflect how forward-thinking their science specialists are in doing work with next-generation science standards. She said students are getting great hands-on experience and benefiting from collaboration between science specialists and classroom teachers. The CAASPP (California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress) is replacing the STAR (Standardized Testing and Reporting) tests for assessment. The first results from the assessments in English language arts and math will be available in spring or summer 2015.

Carmel Del Mar modernization to begin summer 2015 BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Del Mar School, built in 1991, is due for an upgrade. The Del Mar Union School District hopes to get moving on a partial modernization for the campus next summer after the board approved proceeding with $1.5 million at the Nov. 19 meeting. According to Cathy Birks, assistant superintendent of business services, the district will seek statements of qualifications for professional engineering services for the project, which includes HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) replacement, replacement of skylights in all classrooms, and ceiling and roof replacement. The modernization will include a new shade structure in the outdoor lunch area and removing the large, bulky main distribution frame (a part of the school’s technology infrastructure) out of the multi-use room, creating more capacity for students. The $1.5 million cost of the project is budgeted in the district’s general fund reserves. Part of the costs will also be funded through Prop 39 California Clean Energy Jobs Act funds.

DM schools foundation seeks corporate sponsors

BY KAREN BILLING Del Mar Schools Education Foundation is working on corporate partnerships as a way to bring in more funds to support Extended Studies Curriculum specialists in science, technology, PE, art and music. According to President Ty Humes, the foundation is so far working with four corporate partners: Starbucks, Wells Fargo, Qualcomm and Crust Pizzeria. The Carmel Valley 5K is technically the biggest corporate sponsor, contributing $32,000 from last year’s race. This year, the race supports all local schools and allows participants to select which school district or school they want their money to go to. Humes said that 74 percent of the 5K’s money so far is going to the Del Mar Union School District. Per the sales forecast, school officials are expecting to see $16,000-plus from the race this year.

Rancho del Sol affordable housing development coming for PHR BY KAREN BILLING Rancho del Sol, a development of 96 new affordable housing units in Pacific Highlands Ranch, is expected to begin construction in January 2015. The $24 million development’s grading can be seen from SR-56 and it is just east of Santa Fe Farms Road on Carmel Valley Road, just before Evergreen Nursery. Randy Slabbers of Chelsea Investment Corporation of Carlsbad gave an update on the project to the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board at their Nov. 20 meeting. “We look forward to being a part of your community,” Slabbers told the board. The six-acre lot that Chelsea Investments is developing was donated by Pardee Homes. They have previously collaborated with Pardee on projects in The Crossings and Villa Andalucia. Rancho del Sol will feature one, two and three bedroom units in eight two-story multi-family buildings in the California bungalow architectural style with Mediterranean accents. There will be a controlled electronic gate access to the development and 250 parking spaces as well as a pool and recreation center for residents. Slabbers said the two bedroom units would rent for $800 to $1,300 a month based on income. Their affordable housing is for families of 50 to 60 percent of area median income, or about $30,000 a year.

Construction ongoing at new SDUHSD middle school; name selected BY KAREN BILLING Construction on San Dieguito Union High School District’s new middle school in Pacific Highlands Ranch is humming along, and it now has a name. The school board voted Nov. 13 to call the school Pacific Trails. Recently, Principal Mary Anne Nuskin stood on the rebar of a second-floor classroom under construction and participated in the topping-off ceremony, when the last beam was placed atop the school. Nuskin was able to sign the beam, which she inscribed with her name and the words “for the joy of learning,” which has been a major emphasis for the school’s planning team. “It’s cool that the beam is in that building, that the spirit is in there,” Nuskin said. “The school should really be about helping kids find what they’re passionate about and interested in and helping them reach their full potential.” While the school board has selected the name, it will be up to Pacific Trails students in fall 2015 to come up with school colors and their mascot. Nuskin

The view of Pacific Trails, currently under construction in Pacific Highlands Ranch. Courtesy photo said it will really help start the process of students taking ownership of their campus. “Middle schoolers may be young, but they have amazing things to say, and when they own (their school and their voice), they’re more motivated, and I really want that for them,” Nuskin said. Pacific Trails will start small with just a seventhgrade class of around 220 students in 2015. The first few years, there will be about 500 students. With full build-out by 2018, the

plazas . gardens . shops . restaurants . homes . ϐ

school would have about 1,000 students. Phase one of the school that will open in 2016 will include a two-story, 22room classroom building, the art and music rooms and performing arts center, basketball courts, the track and fields. There will be interim portables for food service, administration and the media center. The second phase (slated to begin in 2016) will include the permanent administration building, a multipurpose room and locker

room building, the media center and food service building. Phase three will be based on need and could begin sooner or later, depending on how development in Pacific Highlands Ranch progresses. The third phase is estimated to begin in fall 2018 and includes another two-story classroom building. Selected to lead the new Pacific Trails is Nuskin, who is in her 11th year at the district. She started as the assistant principal of Diegueno Middle, was then principal at Diegueno, assistant principal at Canyon Crest Academy, and for the last three years, served as principal at Earl Warren Middle School. Before coming to San Dieguito, she was a middle school teacher in the Escondido Elementary School District. “I just like the middle school kiddos,” Nuskin said. “I like that they’re still so young at heart like elementary students, but yet they can’t wait to become that adult and put their mark on something, and you want to help them do that. And in middle school, there’s also a

sense of fun.” Nuskin has a front-row seat to the construction at her school from her temporary office at neighboring Canyon Crest Academy. As they get into the enrollment season of February and March next year, she plans to move into a temporary portable in the parking lot to be more accessible to school families. Nuskin said the process in developing Pacific Trails has been very exciting, having to wear several “different hats.” With her teacher hat on, she is thinking about what things should look like in the classroom; as an administrator, she’s trying to figure out how to make things work in the classroom; and as a parent of two children, she’s considering what she would want middle school to be like for her students. “It’s really cool to look at this project with all these lenses, and I’m confident that we will have another awesome middle school in our district,” Nuskin said. A middle school planning team was formed at the end of the last school year, made up of 27 people repre-

senting local feeder schools of Sycamore Ridge, Ashley Falls and Solana Ranch, as well as two parents from Carmel Valley Middle School, teachers representing all subject areas, district staff and San Dieguito Union High School District board members Joyce Dallessandro and Amy Herman. The group first met in September and they have full-day meetings every three weeks discussing what’s most important and what they value in building this new school. They’ve looked at curriculum instruction and assessment, professional learning communities, student and staff culture, technology and toolkits to support 21stcentury learning and school leadership. They have been very strategic about their math and science core curriculum and having electives that support STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). They have looked at arts and how to integrate them into the classroom as much as possible, especially See SCHOOL, page 30

Del Mar couple positioned for pre-eminence in thoroughbred circles • Pavla and Erik Nygaard own 60 horses in three states, and hope to build an operation based on home-breds BY LESLIE CARTER Pavla and Erik Nygaard are poised to be a significant presence in the world of thoroughbred horse racing. They now own 60 thoroughbreds — 20 in Florida, 20 in Kentucky, and 20 in Southern California — and oversee this operation from a hilltop home in Del Mar. Irish Surf, the Nygaards’ star, trained by Dan Hendricks, a 4-year-old colt sired by Giant’s Causeway, tackles the Grade II Hollywood Turf Cup on Thanksgiving Day. He won the Cougar II here last summer, while setting a track record at a mile and a half. He ran fifth in the Pacific Classic at a mile and a quarter. On Oct. 31, he placed in the Las Vegas Marathon, a $200,000 mile-and-three-quarters event run before the Breeders Cup at Santa Anita. Irish Surf has demonstrated that he prefers long distances. And he doesn’t sulk when he doesn’t win. “We used to joke that he has such a high opinion of himself, he couldn’t care less what actually happens in the race,â€? said Pavla. “At the finish line, he continues on until he passes all the other horses, so he can say to himself, ‘I beat you.’ He’s really hard to pull up.â€? Erik said. Although relatively new to the sport, Pavla and Erik are deeply involved as owners. Pavla is a hands-on Girl Friday, doing whatever needs to get done. She keeps in contact with two trainers, and farm manag-

ers at Chesapeake in Lexington, Ky., on their farm in Florida, and at Ballena Vista Farm in Ramona. She is constantly learning and trying out her ideas on Hendricks, her patient trainer. She was born in Czechoslovakia in the Moravian area to two university professors. Her father was a known dissident and a signatory of the Charter of 77 during the Prague Spring (1968). In eighth grade, Pavla made an innocent joke about the Russians and was marked as a discipline problem at her school. Her mother believed Pavla was growing up under a shadow and wouldn’t have a chance for advanced education or a meaningful job because of her background if they didn’t leave Czechoslovakia. When Pavla was 16 they gained permission to visit Yugoslavia, and grasped the opportunity to escape through the mountains to Austria (a reverse “Sound of Music,� said Pavla). They parked their car and started walking their dog — to appear as “two dumb blond women getting lost during a summer hike.� After seven hours, they made it down over rough terrain and a perilous cliff. An Austrian border guard took them to a police station to apply for asylum. After two or three days at the jail (“It seemed like an eternity�), and five months in a refugee camp, they were accepted by Canada. Pavla completed her education and worked in Vancouver, B.C., where her moth-

Erik grew up in Michigan, graduated from MIT, worked for TRW as a rocket scientist designing microprocessors for navigation, then went into finance on Wall Street for 21 years. Erik and Pavla met online “before it was fashionable.� As Erik retired from finance, he pursued a real estate opportunity in Florida. But in order to purchase a vacant parcel, they also had to purchase the adjacent horse boarding business. Instead of selling that operation, they decided to explore what racing would hold for them.

“I enjoy researching pedigrees, racing strategies, and making breeding decisions — anything on the analytical side. This was new and exciting and full of challenges, and I was looking for challenges,� said Erik. Erik is set on building an operation based on home-breds that will be respected in the business over the next two decades. As good owners do, they try to keep track of horses that have raced for them. Oscar, who finished third in the Sunshine Millions Sprint in Florida, was falling through the claiming ranks. They retired him to a property in Rancho Santa Fe to give him a chance to adjust to a new career as a riding horse. They did the same with Drift King, an unhappy and difficult horse with a serious injury that ended his racing career. He has been recovering for 18 months at the same property. He has mellowed, they said, and is on his way to becoming a happy, useful, adoptable horse.

Pulitzer-winning author Anna Quindlen extols love of reading at Words Alive luncheon BY LOIS ALTER MARK “Nobody likes the arbitrariness of art,” sighed Anna Quindlen at the recent sold-out annual Words Alive Author’s Luncheon. “I once told Edgar Doctorow I was getting ready to go on tour, and he said, ‘Oh, now you’ll have to pretend you understand why we do what we do.’” More than 550 readers filled the Marriott Marquis ballroom to hear the Pulitzer Prize-winning author pretend to understand why she does what she does. But Quindlen doesn’t pretend. Warm and down to earth, she was open and humble about what she calls the “unconscious” part of her writing process. Interviewed onstage by UC San Diego professor Seth Lerer, she shared personal stories about her children, her latest novel, “Still Life With Breadcrumbs,” and her own love affair with reading. “My favorite activity in the whole world is reading,” Quindlen admitted. “If I never wrote another word, I would be fine with that. But if I couldn’t read, I don’t know how I could live.” She revealed that there’s

UC San Diego professor Seth Lerer with guest author Anna Quindlen. PHOTO COURTESY KAY COLLIER AND KEVIN CALDWELL nothing she enjoys more than talking about books with her three grown children, all of whom are devoted readers — even if they don’t always see eye to eye on them. “My oldest son loves Joseph Conrad and Herman Melville, both of whom are cool, more cerebral writers,” she explained. “But ‘Heart of Darkness’ and ‘Moby Dick’ just don’t resonate with me. I prefer warmer, emotional stories. I love Edith Wharton, and ‘House of Mirth’ is one of my favorite books.”

Quindlen believes that reading is never about the book itself; it’s actually about the reader. She rereads a Charles Dickens novel every summer, and is convinced that re-reading books at different stages of your life offers a different experience each time. “For example, I read Anna Karenina in college and felt dreadful for Anna,” she said. “She was married to this dry bureaucrat, but she had fallen in love with the seductive Vronsky and couldn’t just go off with him so — spoiler alert — she jumped in front of a train. When I read

it after I had children, I thought, ‘This is a novel about a woman who is vain and self-obsessed enough to leave her son.’ That would never have occurred to me at 20. But, at 37, with three kids, that was the only way I could see it. And it’s the only way I’ve been able to see it since.” Because reading and her children are so closely intertwined, Quindlen has often handed her kids books when there were subjects that were challenging to talk about or that needed to be enlarged. “My son went through puberty early and I couldn’t say to him, ‘I know all this stuff is going on and it’s making you feel like a totally twisted puppy,’” she said. “So I just gave him ‘Portnoy’s Complaint.’” Books have been a vital part of Quindlen’s life since she was a child herself, and she credits “Little Women” for making her believe she could actually become a writer. “What’s so powerful about that book to someone like me — other than the fact that Jo is such an outlier and doesn’t want to play by

the rules — is that she wants to be a writer, her family just assumes she’ll be a writer and she becomes a writer,” said Quindlen. “For a girl growing up not knowing anyone who was a writer, there wasn’t anyone I could turn to in that way. The closest thing, to me, was Jo March.” Because she loves to do school visits and show young people that they, too, can become writers, Quindlen spent time with the teens at the Lindsay School. Here’s what she wrote about it on Facebook: “I have to pay tribute to the students I met at the Lindsay School in San Diego on Friday. Residents of that city may know Lindsay as a school for teenaged mothers; I saw it as a place filled with serious, curious, poised young women who were engaged and engaging in conversation. Whether questioning the ending of my novel ‘Black and Blue,’ wondering how to sell their own writing, or asking to have a book signed for their children, they were aces. Difficult pasts for many of them,

for sure, but I’m betting on the future. It took me back, to see those babies napping and toddlers playing in the day care center and the one young mom nursing in the back row in class. Dawn Miller is their teacher, and she proves every day what I always say: Teachers are the most important professionals in America because they change lives. I was so happy to spend part of the day with her and her students.” The Lindsay School is the site of one of Words Alive’s flagship Adolescent Book Groups. The mission of Words Alive, a San Diegobased nonprofit founded by Leslye Lyons in 1999, is to open opportunities for life success by inspiring a commitment to reading. It does this by providing volunteerled reading experiences for children and youth, education opportunities for parents, scholarships for continuing education, and access to and ownership of quality reading materials.

TPHS student documentary lets inspirational classmate shine • ‘Just Like You’ depicts determination, daily challenges of teen with cerebral palsy BY KAREN BILLING Torrey Pines High School sophomore Ashton Tu was looking for a subject for a documentary film and couldn’t think of a better one than her classmate, Jake Froman. She admired Jake’s relentlessly positive attitude and his patience and endurance through his daily life, not letting cerebral palsy hold him back. “Jake is so happy, and that’s really an inspiration,â€? Ashton said. With her film, Ashton wanted to shine a new light on people with disabilities and help Jake express himself and make his mark. The film may be short, but the impact is long — Jake’s big smile lights up the screen. “Jake literally gets up every day smiling,â€? says Jake’s mom, Jen, in the documentary. “One of his routine sayings is, ‘I’m so excited.’ Even if the reason is just that tomorrow is Thursday.â€? Ashton’s documentary on Jake, “Just Like You,â€? was completed this summer as part of Pacific Arts Movement’s Reel Voices program, a 12-week summer internship to help students learn about film production and how to become socially conscious storytellers. Ashton, like all 10 students in the program, received a $500 scholarship for her work. The film was screened at the San Diego Asian Film Festival this month and was recently named the Best Documentary Film in the Youth On! Film Festival in Madison, Wis. The film has also been shown in several Torrey

Pines classes. “The response has been almost overwhelming,� said Jen. “The comments have been really pretty remarkable.� The Fromans knew Jake had a brain injury at the time of his birth, but they didn’t receive the diagnosis of cerebral palsy until he was 4 months old. As seen in footage in Ashton’s film, Jake has undergone all kinds of different therapies to learn to do things like swim and walk on his own, which he can do now with some help. “He really keeps in shape and is always working on his walking,� Jen said, noting he aims to start working with a trainer to build some muscle. In the film, Jake’s father, Jim, said his son is always happy and smiling through his therapies. “He doesn’t complain, he keeps his head down, he works hard,� Jim said. Ashton first met Jake when they were eighthgraders at Carmel Valley Middle School. “I thought, ‘Wow, this kid is really cool,’� Ashton said. The pair had a freshman English class together at Torrey Pines, which gave Ashton another opportunity to interact with Jake. “She’s nice,� Jake said. In the film, teacher Brenda Robinette talks about how sometimes students are intimidated to speak with Jake, because when he speaks, it’s a sound they’re not used to. However, many students, like Ashton, are affected by having

Jake Froman and Ashton Tu. PHOTO BY KAREN BILLING him in class. “He has that way to bring people back to what’s human about them,� Robinette said in the film. “I definitely see him working with people, inspiring people.� To ask permission to work with Jake, Ashton contacted the Fromans in April. Jen said Ashton wrote her a “beautiful� note telling her why she wanted to do a film about her son, and she was more than comfortable in letting Ashton follow her family. “I believe Jake is a hero who deserves more credibility for his hard work, and many will find his story touching,� Ashton wrote. “I specifically want to highlight Jake from any other because he is an extraordinary example of a person with a great attitude who does not let his disabilities limit or define him.� As for Jake, he was more than willing to have a film made about him and not nervous at all about being its star. “Jake told me he wants her to do a full-length movie now,� Jen said with a laugh. Ashton filmed a summer’s worth of activities, tagging along on bowling trips, filming the family having fun in the pool, going out for frozen yogurt, sitting down for meals and doing Jake’s favorite new activity: running races with Team Hoyt, a nonprofit that assists families in inclusion in sports. The Pathman family of Carmel Valley introduced the Fromans to Team Hoyt. Jim and Lisa Pathman compete in triathlons and other endurance events with their 16-yearold twins Shane and Riley, who also have cerebral palsy. In July, Ashton accompanied Jake to the Bolt to the Q 5K to film him competing with his family. Ashton was there to see him off from the start line to the finish line, his crossing shown on the Jumbotron at Qualcomm Stadium. While the family accompanies Jake on the 5K distances, he takes on the longer races with Team Hoyt volunteers. On Nov. 16, Jake did the Silver Strand Half Marathon. It was his sixth half marathon in the past 15 months — he

Jake Froman at the Bolt to the Q. COURTESY PHOTO has also completed the Carlsbad Half Marathon and San Diego Rock n’ Roll Half Marathon in 2014. Ashton’s own perceptions of Jake changed during the documentary process. “I was really surprised by the atmosphere of the family. Honestly, I thought it was going to be really sad,� Ashton said. The family wasn’t sad at all — they keep a positive attitude about Jake and support him no matter what. Ashton was also impressed when she found out that Jake takes all regular education classes at school — he has an aide who helps him take notes and proctors his tests, but he does all the work that other students do. “The school has been incredible in giving him what he needs to be successful in regular education,� Jen said. “All of his teachers have been amazing. They recognize his intelligence and what he’s capable of.�

The hardest part of the filmmaking process for Ashton was taking the four hours of footage she had collected and editing it down for her short film. She spent hours listening to different music tracks to select just the right music. The aspiring filmmaker said she is very happy with the completed project. The most poignant moment in her film is when she asks Jake what his biggest challenge is, and in his own way, he responds that it is talking to people. But there are three words he says in the film that come across loud and clear, letting Jake express himself, make his mark and inspire whoever watches the film, beyond his classroom and his community: “Never give up,� Jake says.

Gene implants may hold promise for Alzheimer’s research, says UCSD expert BY DIANE Y. WELCH Experimentation with genetic implants in Alzheimer’s patients may yield a way to stop or slow the loss of healthy brain cells, a medical expert told the The Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild recently. The guild held an informative presentation about Alzheimer’s disease on Nov. 13 at the Rancho Santa Fe library. Dr. Michael Rafii, director of the Memory Disorders Clinic and assistant professor at UCSD, discussed advances in research. Rafii’s lecture was the last of three in the Brain Health and Alzheimer’s Series offered by the library guild in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association. November is designated as National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness month. Rafii was introduced by Lynn Mullowney, AA associate director, Western region. Susan Appleby, guild membership and development manager, opened up the evening. The lecture had a Q & A format with the audience asking questions about the disease. More than 60,000 San Diegans have Alzheimer’s, making it the third leading cause of death countywide. Rafii fielded questions

PHOTO BY DIANE Y. WELCH and explained up-to-theminute advances in the field of brain health. Asked about genetic testing, Rafii said that with a movement toward personalized health care, it is possible to test for an Alzheimer’s gene. “There must be a family history of an early onset form of dementia, typically for those in their 30s through 50s, to test for some of the mutated genes that lead to Alzheimer’s.” However, these cases make up only about 1 per-

cent of all Alzheimer’s patients. “And it is very challenging to pinpoint the gene and replace it with a good one,” he said. But a double-blind, placebo-controlled study was just completed at UCSD that implanted a virus into study participants’ brains. The virus carried a gene encouraging healthy brain cells to grow. Results are expected in the summer of 2015, said Rafii. It is known that 99 percent of Alzheimer’s patients

have an under-excretion of the protein beta amyloid — which forms tangles called plaques — out of the brain. These plaques are a defining feature of Alzheimer’s disease. During sleep, damaged cells and other waste products in the brain are released into the bloodstream where the liver metabolizes and rids the body of them. Disrupted sleep can interfere with this clearance and impair the brain to get rid of beta amyloid. The plaque build-up damages the brain’s hippocampus, which starts to die off. “Its job is memory function,” said Rafii. “That is why Alzheimer’s patients always present with ‘I’m forgetting.’” With Alzheimer’s, the shrinkage of the brain is accelerated. Instead of 1 percent a year for healthy adults over age 50, it is 2.5 percent a year — and after five years, there is a 12.5 percent shrinkage. “This allows us to compare Alzheimer’s disease processes versus normal process,” said Rafii. He described the different forms of dementia, a syndrome where patients have trouble thinking. Alzheimer’s causes 80 percent of dementia cases.

There is also Lewy Body dementia and frontotemporal dementia, which have the common trait of the accumulation of “stuff in the brain that shouldn’t be there,” Rafii said. In frontotemporal dementia, tangles inside the brain’s neurons are detected, which kill off the neurons. Most recently, these have been seen in former NFL players who have suffered concussions. Correct diagnosis for the type of dementia is very important, said Rafii, as this affects the caregiver, and how long the patient will suffer with these progressive diseases. An Alzheimer’s patient may live up to 12 years or longer after diagnosis. To check for the disease, initial basic testing for vitamin B deficiency and poor thyroid function, which can mimic dementia, is conducted. If these levels are normal, a patient will receive further evaluation through brain imaging and an assessment of thinking and problem-solving abilities. If Alzheimer’s disease is diagnosed, treatments to alleviate symptoms can be started. “But we still can’t slow down the progression of the disease,” said Rafii. The drug Aricept may

be used to boost deficient levels of acetylcholine in the brain, but it will not reverse the disease. Research is being focused on therapies that aim to stop or slow down the disease. Rafii spoke for more than an hour on his topic, and the audience came away with a clearer understanding of what Alzheimer’s disease is, possible treatments now being studied, and how to stave off the disease. Getting a good night’s sleep is very important, Rafii stressed. Appleby closed the evening, saying that the guild is grateful to be able to provide an accessible place for the public to receive reliable and relevant information about important Alzheimer’s and dementia issues directly from the Alzheimer’s Association. “Our hope is to also raise public awareness of the dire need for increased funding for research in this field,” she said. Dates for the guild’s 2015 Alzheimer’s Series are 11:30 a.m. Jan. 27, Feb. 24, and March 24. Lunch will be provided. These programs are free to the public. Visit www.rsflibraryguild.org.

‘For the Sender’ creator and friends to perform for Switchfoot Bro-Am Foundation BY KRISTINA HOUCK After the 2008 death of his beloved dog and the downfall of his record deal, Leucadia singer-songwriter Alex Woodard looked for a sign. He instead received a letter. “When the record deal fell apart, everything else fell apart,” Woodard said. “You make a lot of sacrifices for this job. After 15 years, when you look at your hands and they still look kind of empty, it’s a pretty sobering feeling.” Around that time, Con- Leucadia singer-songwriter Alex Woodard will perform necticut resident Emily Jack- Dec. 14 at the Belly Up in a benefit concert, where he son came across Woodard’s and collaborators will share the stories of the letters MySpace page, which featured an expired promotion: that make up ‘For the Sender.’ Woodard would write a song for anyone who pre-ordered his self-titled release and sent him a personal story. Jackson, who had been grieving the death of her boyfriend, sent Woodard a note and a copy of a posthumous love letter she had written to her boyfriend. “I ended up being really moved by it,” Woodard explained. “This letter mirrored what I was going through.” Woodard shared Jackson’s letter with fellow singer-songwriter Sean Watkins of Nickel Creek, and inspired by the words, they collaborated on a song called “For the Sender.” “It’s about how a letter is like a prayer in that it’s more for the sender,” Woodard said. “I sent it to her and she liked it, and that started the whole thing. I really liked that feeling of doing something for somebody else.” As more letters came in, Woodard continued to collaborate with other artists. One song turned into a dozen, and in addition to an album, he created an accompanying book, “For the Sender: Four Letters. Twelve Songs. One Story.” The 2012 set became a three-part book, album and concert series, with the second album and book, “For the Sender: Love Is (Not a Feeling),” published at the start of 2014. “This project has given me a whole new direction. It’s given me new life,” Woodard said. “This whole thing was about letting go of me. It was other people’s stories, and I had other people sing them and other people help me write. It was really liberating, because I spent so many years just doing it all for me.” Once again working with others, Woodard is hosting a benefit concert Dec. 14 for Switchfoot’s Bro-Am Foundation at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach, where he and his collaborators will share the stories of the letters. Sara and Sean Watkins of Nickel Creek, Jordan Pundik of New Found Glory, Molly Jenson, Nena Anderson, Andy Powers and Woodard will take the stage to sing songs from the “For the Sender” series. Event proceeds will benefit the Bro-Am Foundation, which supports underprivileged youth in the community. “We’ll take these letters and tell the stories about them,” Woodard said. “You’ll hear the people who wrote them read the letters and we’ll perform the songs about them. It’s a multimedia experience, and it’s pretty special.” The concert begins at 8 p.m. Tickets cost $18 in advance and $20 the day of the event. “These stories are really powerful,” Woodard said. “It’s something that’s going to leave you feeling very hopeful and happy to be alive.” For information or to buy tickets, visit www.bellyup.com.

San Diego Jewish Academy students ‘embrace’ 38 families in need for holidays

New directors to join water district board

San Diego Jewish Academy, in partnership with Jewish Family Service, “embraced” more than three dozen families in need for Thanksgiving and the upcoming holidays. Jewish Family Service’s Embrace-A-Family Holiday Gift Giving Program pairs “Embracers” with families in need. All of SDJA’s preschool through high school students signed on as Embracers. Embracers are matched with a family in need and The children took turns handing their collection bags up provide toys, clothes, food, gift certificates, and more. to the JFS representatives. COURTESY PHOTO Embracers are provided with a description of the family, including gender and ages of children and their holiday wish lists. “This is a great way for you, your family, group, and/or business to make the holiday season a little brighter for a family who is struggling to make ends meet,” said Meghan Camacho, volunteer engagement coordinator at JFS, “although our Embracers and ‘their’ families never meet.” Recognizing the disconnect this can cause between children and the families they are embracing, JFS recommends going through the wish list(s) received upon becoming an embracer. Going through the ages and genders of the family members and asking children to draw a picture of what the family looks like, is one example of a way to teach children about the Jewish values of tikkun olam (repairing the world) and tzedakah (charity), while preserving the dignity of families in need. SDJA students participating as a whole school have been involved in the Embrace-AFamily Holiday program for two years. This year, every class in the preschool and lower school (two classes per grade) embraced a family, with even more at the upper school level for a total of 38 families. On Nov. 19, JFS representatives arrived at San Diego Jewish Academy with their collections truck and were greeted by hundreds of students. The children took turns handing their collections bags up to the JFS representatives who quickly filled up the truck. “The children get so excited when they hand over their donations,” said Shani Abed, SDJA’s Lower School director of Judaic Studies. “It’s one thing for them to collect items for donation, and quite another when they see the gratitude in the eyes of the JFS reps.” For more about San Diego Jewish Academy, visit www.sdja.com.

BY JOE TASH Two new directors will join the Santa Fe Irrigation District board next month, and among the issues they identified as top priorities are setting rates and conserving water in the face of an ongoing statewide drought. Augustus “Augie” Daddi and Marlene King be sworn in for four-year terms in early December, and they will join the water district’s board at its regular meeting on Dec. 18. The district provides water to about 19,400 residents of Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe and Fairbanks Ranch. Currently, the district has a “cost of service” study underway, which the board will use to determine future rates. No rate increases were imposed for either 2014 or 2015, although rates have risen steeply over the past decade. However, due to rising costs from the district’s water suppliers, officials have said they anticipate additional rate increases in the future. As for conservation, a drought that has gripped California for the past three years could lead to water rationing across the state unless rainfall totals increase this winter. While a portion of the water Santa Fe uses to serve its customers comes from Lake Hodges, the majority of the district’s supply is purchased from the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California. That agency may impose “allocations” — meaning a fixed amount to its customers — as early as January, said Santa Fe board President Michael Hogan. Hogan, who was unopposed in his re-election bid this fall, will also begin a new four-year term on the water disSee WATER, page 22

SDUHSD adds Smart Start program to drive improvement in auto safety Motor vehicle crashes are the leading cause of death for U.S. teens, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Although alcohol has been a leading cause of these auto crashes, the National Institute on Drug Abuse reports a rise in another crucial contributor to impaired driving by young people: marijuana. Marijuana is no small contributor. Nearly 1 in 3 college students admitted to driving after marijuana use, and 1 in 2 said they rode with a driver who had been using, according to a 2014 NIDA report. In addition, 1 in 8 high school seniors drove after using marijuana, and 1 in 5 rode with a driver who had been using. To help stem the tide of teen motor vehicle injuries and fatalities, many San Diego County high schools and districts are implementing Start Smart Driving Safety Classes, a free educational program demonstrating the perils of drugged and drunk driving.

Ribbon-cutting ceremony held for Center for a Healthy Lifestyle Kitchen and Garden Project BY KRISTINA HOUCK After more than five years of successfully teaching children how to lead healthier lives at the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito’s Center for a Healthy Lifestyle in Solana Beach, the center has expanded to Encinitas. Donors, supporters and community members celebrated the new kitchen and garden project during a Nov. 19 open house and ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Griset Branch in Encinitas. “This has always been my dream,” said Del Mar resident Barbara Harper, the center’s visionary. “I’m so happy that this has come to realization.” The Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito’s Center for a Healthy Lifestyle opened in April 2009 in Solana Beach. The yellow cottage features a teaching kitchen, classroom space and garden, offering children’s afterschool programming and summer camps, as well as adult classes. To expand its programs, the nonprofit opened a garden at its Del Mar Branch in May 2011, and another garden at its La Colonia Branch in November 2012. Mirrored after the first center at 533 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, the second center at 1221 Encinitas Blvd. features a half-acre interactive organic garden, in addition to the commercial-style kitchen classroom, which opened in June. Students will learn practical skills and receive vocational training through the garden-to-table program as they grow and prepare healthy food. “It’s certainly worthwhile to introduce

the kids to a healthy lifestyle,” said major donor, Robert Wilson who has homes in Del Mar and Rancho Santa Fe. “I’m terribly impressed. This is nicely done.” Located behind the gym at the center, the garden feature trees, plants, an orchard, an herb garden, a greenhouse, picnic tables, benches and more. A fountain sits in the middle of the garden, named in memory of longtime supporter and former Del Mar resident John Coughlin. Created by San Diego artist Ryan Preece, known as “Zoke,” a roughly 60-by-22foot mural of a farm with animals and crops, is featured on the back of the gym. Donors are recognized along the wall on the side of the gym. A total of $275,000 needed to be raised for the project, according to the fundraising page. Although the kitchen and garden are open, the project is not yet complete, as there are plans for an archery field, outdoor amphitheater and more. Donations are still being accepted. “There’s more work to do, but we couldn’t have done this without the people who gave their money and time,” said David Crean, CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito. “It wouldn’t have been accomplished without them.” For more about the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito, visit bgcsandieguito.org.

Del Mar Historical Society thanks stellar intern When the Del Mar Historical Society put fliers up in area high schools hoping to get someone who might want to do a very tedious but important job, they never expected what they got. The job was indexing the famous ‘Del Mar Looking Back,’ and Kathie Jiang (in photo at right), a junior at Canyon Crest Academy who just loves history, said, ‘I can do that.’ It was a match made in heaven. Kathie and her father developed a system to go from the huge digital PDF version of the book to manageable portions that could be converted to an MS Word document and then indexed. This proved to be a very time-consuming project, but the last task — combining the indices from these manageable portions into one index — is nearing completion. During this season of giving thanks, the Historical Society is definitely grateful to young talent like Kathie Jiang. If you would like to help, contact info@delmarhistoricalsociety.org.

Patriot Profiles: ‘The excitement never ends,’ says female Navy pilot This column presents “Patriot Profiles” to provide readers with insight into the lives of our country’s heroes.

BY JEANNE MCKINNEY Since the founding of these United States, women have poured out their skills and talents for the cause of liberty. Martha was a pillar of support for her husband, Gen. Washington, as he led America’s first Army. Thanks to Betsy Ross, our flag colors the skies with red (hardiness and valor), white (purity and innocence), and blue (vigilance, perseverance and justice). During World War II, women kept the home fires burning, worked in war industries, filled jobs left vacant by men at war, and served in uniform at home and abroad. Today, females fill ever-increasing roles in our military that stands on the summit of world power. Lt. Darby Clemson Driscoll, a U.S. Navy pilot, has joined the ranks of her predecessors to carry freedom forward. “Women over time have proven they’re far more capable than people necessarily give them credit for,” said Driscoll, who flies a multimission MH-60R (Romeo), the Navy’s new primary maritime dominance helicopter. As part of HSM 73, “The BattleCats” (a fleet squadron), she described her largest role as “providing security for the (carrier) strike group from surface and undersea threats — keeping the ships and sailors of the strike group safe.” Because of the combat exclusion that was lifted in 1993 by then-Secretary of Defense Les Aspin, women were permitted to serve in almost any aviation capacity. Years later, this allowed Driscoll to become an integral part of what she called “a very positive, upbeat, and introspective aviation community. We’re very self-critical. There are always new qualifications, new missions and new things to experience. The excitement never ends.” “When you go to a ‘winging’ down in Pensacola, where they pin on your wings of gold, probably 1 in 5 of the new pilots are women,” said Driscoll. “It’s a testament to the 1990s women who broke the glass ceiling that (gender) is a non-issue. We can go about doing our jobs and being professionals.” Even though she grew up in a storied military family, Driscoll wasn’t winging it to any recruiter’s office near her hometown, Pennington, N.J. Her grandfather was a warrant

Lt. Darby Clemson Driscoll with one of the ‘Battle Cats’ helicopters in her fleet squadron at North Island, San Diego. Landing on an aircraft carrier, she said, is a milestone: ‘That’s when you feel like you’re a Navy pilot.’ officer in the Army, her brother is an Army captain and her grandmother, Nelle Clemson, was one of the first female Marines in World War II, serving as a meteorologist. It wasn’t until after high school, when Driscoll was recruited by the Naval Academy for swimming, that she became interested in the military. Driscoll saw what she called “a personality fit” at the Academy when she met all the midshipmen there and the girls on the swim team. “Everybody was really ambi-

tious and took care of each other. All saw themselves serving a larger purpose. That was really neat to encounter as an 18-yearold, so I wanted to be a part of it.” Academy life was studying hard and swimming fast to win various events, and later, when she joined the Club Triathlon Team, to win a National Championship in 2009. From the Naval Academy, she went on a Pownall scholarship to the University of Cambridge for a graduate degree in International Relations and International Devel-

opment, and then reported to Pensacola, Fla., for flight training. The first helicopter Driscoll learned to fly, the Bell TH-57 Bravo, was the hardest. “It’s like learning how to ride a unicycle. Every input you make with your feet or hands affect each other’s axis of motion. When I put my right foot in, what do I do with my hands, and when I put my left foot in, what do I do with my hands? When I pick my collective up (pitch control), what do I do with my cyclic (rotor tilt) and (anti-torque) pedals (yaw)? A pilot has about four flights to learn their first qualification — how to hover. “It (the TH-57) really teaches you the dynamics of how helicopters fly. Once you accomplish that, you fly in a helicopter that has stability control and is a little bit easier to handle. By the time you get to the MH-60 Romeo, there are a lot more systems to make it a smoother ride.” After completing her training in HSM-41, Fleet Replacement Squadron, she was flown to the U.S.S. Carl Vinson for pre-deployment See PILOT, page 25

Courtesy photo cratic education balanced with expeditionary learning, The Grauer School does not focus on “teaching to the test” and instead focuses on values like perseverance and humanitarianism. The Grauer School has a Mastery Learning program that encourages students to master key skills and concepts to really understand a topic or subject. “The Grauer School’s Mastery Learning program taught me to persevere and stay determined,” Brooks said. “Expeditionary learning helped me stay calm, because knowing how diverse and variable the world is opened my eyes to the reality of how unimportant (standardized) tests really are.” Brooks appreciates the “no busy-work” policy among The Grauer School teachers that has allowed her to focus on becoming a well-rounded person. She participates on the volleyball team, choir, and Anatomy and Physiology club on campus. Brooks plans to attend college somewhere in the Pacific Northwest and is looking forward to majoring in English after spending a summer backpacking in Europe.

Three Hearts takes $100K Red Carpet Handicap After going winless for 19 months, Three Hearts pulled off a surprise victory Saturday in the $100,000 Red Carpet Handicap for older fillies and mares at Del Mar. She prevailed by a half-length over Lady of Gold, while Lady Pimpernel was a neck behind in third. The 4-year-old Three Hearts finished the 1 3/8-mile event in 2:15.54 over the Jimmy Durante Turf Course. “(Trainer) Neil (Drysdale) just said: “Don’t mess it up.’ No, I’m kidding. All he said was to just ride her,” jockey Joe Talamo said. “My trip couldn’t have been more perfect. She broke good from the outside and I was able to get her over and save ground. She’s such a classy filly to ride; she relaxed so nicely. When I asked her, she fired and we still had a lot left in the tank.” Three Hearts is owned by Team Valor International. Sunday’s card featured the $100,000 Cary Grant Stakes, which was won by the favorite, Big Macher. He completed the 7 furlongs over the Polytrack in 1:21.81. Racing will continue on Thanksgiving Day with a special first post at 11 a.m. The rest of the weekend will include a Craft Beer & Cider Fest and a concert by Cake, and a possible appearance by Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner California Chrome in the Grade I, $300,000 Hollywood Derby.

Sage Canyon students pack food for Thanksgiving Thanks to the generosity of 18 local Girl Scout troops and one Boy Scout troop, many San Diego families will be having a much happier Thanksgiving. The troop members gathered at Sage Canyon School for a packing party organized by Sage Canyon parent Teresa Miller. They put together 200 bags filled with items for a Thanksgiving feast plus a gift card to purchase a turkey — all tied together with ribbon, cellophane and a handmade card from a troop member. “I hope you have the Thanksgiving of your dreams,” read one sweet card. This year’s output of 200 bags topped last year’s total of 125. The number of participating troops also grew from 12 last year to 19 this year. Troops represented Sage Canyon, Ashley Falls, Torrey Hills, Notre Dame, Del Mar Pines, Del Mar Heights and Ocean

Air. The bags will be donated to low-income families through Friends and Family Community Connections. “The goal is to have troops from every school and make this the hub of the Thanksgiving program,” Miller said. Jimbo’s donated the bags for the donations and each troop provided the items to fill them — all set up at tables in the Sage Canyon multi-use room. Girls and boys went to each table and checked items off their list, adding stuffing, corn bread and gravy mix, canned yams, oil and even a box of tin foil. Parents helped with quality control and some bow-tying, but the care put into each bag was entirely driven by the kids. — Karen Billing

WATER continued from page 12 trict board in December. “The pressing issue and priority as we start the new year is managing the drought conditions and the impact that will have on our district,” said Hogan. If allocations are imposed, the district will have to evaluate whether additional, more stringent water-use restrictions will be needed, Hogan said. This summer, the district moved to a Level 2 drought response, which included a limit of three days per week for watering outdoor landscaping, along with other restrictions. The focus on water conservation comes in the wake of a report issued earlier this month by the California Water Resources Control Board, which showed that, during the month of September 2014, the Santa Fe Irrigation District had the highest per-capita water use in the state. The state per capita figures, which were issued for the first time, showed that on average, Santa Fe customers used 584 gallons per person, per day. The daily per-capita use by Santa Fe’s neighboring districts, Olivenhain and San Dieguito (which includes Encinitas) was 250 and 154, respectively, according to the state report. In the United States, daily per-capita water usage averages between 80 and 100 gallons per day, according to the web

site of the U.S. Geological Survey, a federal government agency. Santa Fe general manager Michael Bardin posted a statement on the district’s web site, which said it is “not appropriate” to compare per capita figures from different water districts, unless such factors as rainfall/temperature, population density, local zoning regulations, community character and socio-economic measures are considered. The state’s per-capita figures came up for discussion at the district’s Nov. 20 board meeting. Director Andy Menshek, who represents Division 5, which is in Solana Beach, did not seek re-election and will step down from the board in December. Menshek said the state figures point to an inequity in the district’s rates, because residents of Solana Beach use much less water than their counterparts in Rancho Santa Fe, which has larger home lots and requires more outdoor landscape irrigation. Therefore, he said, those who use less water should not have to pay as large a share of the district’s costs. Particularly egregious, said Menshek, is one parcel that uses some 50 acre feet of water per year, or enough for more than 100 families, based on the USGS averages. Bardin said he has been hearing from customers that they are concerned that rate hikes and water-use restrictions will make it difficult for

them to maintain their properties, in which they have invested large amounts of money for landscaping. “That’s a no-fly zone for this guy,” said Menshek. “To me that’s a very hollow argument.” Daddi, who will assume Menshek’s Division 5 seat, said he agrees that the district’s lowest water users may be paying more than they should. That issue will be addressed by the cost of service study now underway, he said, which could lead to changes in the district’s rate structure. “We need to find out why we are so high, why are we the highest water users in the state?” Daddi said. King, whose division includes Fairbanks Ranch and part of Rancho Santa Fe, won the election based on unofficial results, which await certification by the county Registrar of Voters. She said the district needs to work with its largest water users to reduce their usage, which would include making sure their sprinkler systems operate efficiently and do not waste water. “We simply have to cut back their usage and be efficient in these drought conditions,” she said. The board has asked staff to come up with a better profile of the district’s water usage and identify those who use the most, so that the district can work with them on conservation measures, said Hogan. “Yes, it’s an issue we need to address,” Hogan said.

Start Smart targets students between the ages of 15 and 20 and their parents/guardians. The San Dieguito Union High School District has made the program mandatory for students who want to park on campus. While the policy was implemented after a rash of teen driving fatalities involving alcohol in 2009, officials now make it a point to emphasize the risks of marijuana use as well. Marijuana is the most commonly used illicit drug in the United States, and use rates have gone up as acceptance and availability have increased. Studies show that marijuana can impede critical driving skills such as decision-making, peripheral vision, reaction time and multitasking, and in some instances can result in psychotic episodes that result in speeding and recklessness. While marijuana’s effects when driving are dangerous on their own, the impact on driving is even more critical when marijuana use is combined with alcohol use. Joseph Olesky, an addiction counselor with the San Dieguito Union High School District, said this can be the

case with juveniles and can be fatal. Marijuana contributed to 12 percent of traffic deaths in 2010 in California, triple that of a decade earlier. The American Automobile Association notes that teen driving under the influence of alcohol and drugs is a factor in 1 of every 14 crashes. In short, marijuana leads to more dangerous roads. During the Smart Start class, videos of teen motor vehicle crashes provoke a variety of emotional reactions as San Diego County Sheriff’s Department and California Highway Patrol officials discuss factors causing collisions. Officials also discuss the serious laws, obligations, responsibilities, and family expectations that are part of driving a car. Teens and parents are encouraged to discuss these issues at home, and to establish Parent-Teen driving agreements. Research studies conclude that parents can influence their teens’ driving habits by setting and enforcing clear rules and expectations. Kenneth Hansen, a parent, said the program sends an important message to kids and families about the dangers of alcohol- and drug-impaired driving. “I found the program to be highly effective,” Hansen said. “The emotional impact

of the videos makes kids and parents sit up and listen. It should be mandatory for everyone who drives, not just kids.” More than 2,700 parents and students in the San Dieguito Union High School District attended the Start Smart classes last year. San Dieguito Alliance Executive Director Judi Strang said the program is important for educating families in the community about the issue. “Start Smart is definitely contributing to our community goal to educate families and to reduce the number of teen motor vehicle crashes, injuries and fatalities related to alcohol and drug impaired driving,” San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent Rick Schmitt said. “Kids see the consequences of decision making before they drive, and that’s very important,” said parent Monica Moore. “They learn that the actions they take can be a life-and-death matter. It’s a strong and unforgettable message about the responsibility of driving a car.” For information about future Start Smart high school classes in the San Dieguito region, visit www. sandieguitoalliance.org; to attend a class, email startsmartdriving@gmail. com. — Submitted press release

The fundraiser supports local efforts in San Diego and also the group homes and Merv Griffin Childhelp Village West in Southern California where children in San Diego are placed for the dedicated help provided. Childhelp also supports the 24/7/365 National Child Abuse Help Line 1-800-4-A-CHILD. This year’s holiday gala will also have a deeper sentimental meaning than normal, and the situation hits home with a local tragedy. “This year’s event is being dedicated to Scott Chodorow, a teacher from Torrey Pines High School who was an active member of the San Diego Chapter of Childhelp and our emcee and auctioneer at the Holiday Fantasia event for several years,” explained Childhelp San Diego Publicity Chair Rhea Tobin. “Scott sadly passed away from cancer in October of this year, so we are dedicating the event to Scott and honoring him and his family at the event.” The event itself consists of boutique shopping, Opportunity Chance, silent auction Items, a live auction, a luncheon with an award ceremony and complimentary mimosas in the morning.

San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent Rick Schmitt’s Monthly Update BY RICK SCHMITT Superintendent Rick Schmitt updates the greater San Dieguito Union High School District community monthly. Today’s update focuses on high school enrollment, bell schedules, state standards and our newest school: Pacific Trails Middle School. In previous communications I’ve discussed many of the major initiatives underway in the San Dieguito Union High School District, and this column will serve as an update on several of these efforts. A central theme throughout is the collaborative engagement of all members of our district community (students, parents, staff members) in each of our initiatives. This collaborative approach is a hallmark of our district and results in better outcomes for our students. SDUHSD High School Enrollment Study Group: One topic of great interest to our community is our work around how we enroll students in our high schools. As you likely are aware, we have a representative group of parents, students, and staff members examining all of the various enrollment options. This group, dubbed the High School Enrollment Study Group, is not a decision-making body, but rather an information-gathering effort. The group has conducted its first orientation meeting and will continue its work over the coming months with a focus on the following tasks: • Examine the long-term demographic and enrollment projections that could influence HS enrollment; • Examine current practices and relevant law in order to arrive at a list of potential ways we could enroll students in our high schools; • Analyze each potential option to iden-

tify some benefits and drawbacks of each option; • Share these options, along with benefits/drawbacks, with the broader community and seek feedback on each. This will be done through a community forum and formal surveys; • Report findings to the Rick Schmitt school board. We expect the group to report findings to the school board in the spring of 2015. Given this, it is important to realize that should the board decide to make changes in how we enroll students in our high schools, these changes would take place beginning with the 2016-17 school year, not the 2015-16 school year. We will employ our current enrollment practices for the 2015-16 school year with the High School Selection process beginning in early February 2015. While we cannot guarantee that every ninth-grade student will get into their first choice school for 2015-16, we are committed to doing our absolute best to enroll as many students as we can in their firstchoice school, and we have a history of success with this effort. For more information on 2015-16 high school enrollment, please visit our website. Summaries and notes from all of the High School Enrollment Study Group meetings will be posted to the district website. Bell Schedule Examination: Each of our schools is also engaged in an examination of bell schedules that will include input from students, staff, and parents. This examination is undertaken with these goals in mind for all schools: • Providing students and families with

increased choice and flexibility with regard to the start/end time of the school day; • Increased flexible time during the school day for dedicated intervention and enrichment activities; • Increased collaboration and professional development time for teachers. In addition to these bell schedule priorities for all of our schools, La Costa Canyon and Torrey Pines High Schools are examining ways to allow students to take more than six classes during a school year. Again, any significant changes that come from this examination would be implemented in the 2016-17 school year, not the 2015-16 school year. CCSS Transition: We continue our work in a gradual, multi-year transition to the Common Core State Standards by providing ongoing professional development for our teachers, ensuring that we provide our students and teachers with high quality CCSS-aligned instructional materials, and engaging in ongoing dialogue with our families. The greatest changes related to the CCSS are in the area of

mathematics, and we continue to dedicate ourselves to creating our own customized instructional materials that best meet the learning needs for our students while providing our teachers with ongoing formal professional development and classroom-based coaching. In addition to normal family/school communication, we are engaging students and parents in dialogue around the transition in math by hosting Family Math Nights at each of our middle schools and via upcoming formal online surveys of those enrolled in one of the new Integrated Math courses. While any curricular transition comes with inevitable glitches, we firmly believe that by investing time and resources in supporting students and teachers and by seeking ongoing feedback from our community, we will ensure a smooth transition for our students, teachers and families. If you have not yet done so, I encourage you to explore our District’s Common Core State Standards site and our online Math Support Site. Pacific Trails Middle

School: We are pleased to announce the naming of our fifth middle school. A planning team made up of parents and district staff members brainstormed potential names that reflected the geographic locale of the campus and submitted three recommended names to the Board for consideration. At their meeting on Nov. 13, the SDUHSD Board of Trustees formally adopted Pacific Trails Middle School as the name of the school. The school is under construction in the Pacific Highlands Ranch neighborhood of Carmel Valley and is scheduled to open in fall 2015 with approximately 220 seventhgraders. The school will be led by founding principal Mary Anne Nuskin, and enrollment of the founding class of students will begin early in spring 2015. Students will select the school mascot and colors in the fall of 2015.

— a former county employee — placed an online ad inviting men to come to the victim’s home and rape her. A Superior Court judge originally dismissed the sex solicitation charges, but the District Attorney’s Office appealed the decision and the 4th District Court of Appeal reinstated the charges. Defense attorney Brad Patton said his client — named “Mother of the Year” in 2007 for the work she did for her disabled daughter — wanted to buy the home in Carmel Valley to be in that school district and better care for her child. Rowe made it clear to detectives that she posted the ``prank’’ ad due to the stress she was under, and at no time did she intend to do any harm to the victim, according to Patton. McHugh said Rowe placed the ad on Craigslist, encouraging men to contact the homeowner for sexual favors while her husband was away. The prosecutor said the solicitation and stalking counts were filed because the defendant’s actions went far beyond a harmless prank.

workups. “Landing on ships is really complicated and dangerous,” said Driscoll, summarizing, “I’m brand-new to the squadron and flying with the skipper. (It’s) very stressful, because you don’t want to do a bad job. You realize there are five people talking to you at once on the radio, and you’re trying to fly off the aircraft carrier, and there are aircraft everywhere. “Learning how to hover and trusting the aircraft is

going to maintain its position, while the ship is moving underneath you, is the most unsettling thing for the first time. Then learning to do it at night, when it’s so dark — it’s putting your fears aside.” Landing on a carrier is a big milestone. “That’s when you feel like you’re a Navy pilot,” said Driscoll. “Your mission is constantly changing,” she said. “The helicopter itself is like a pick-up truck. There are all these different weapons and

flight systems you can put on the helicopter and change its mission, change its role. One day they’re completely loaded out to do anti-submarine warfare. The next day they’re stripped down to do anti-surface warfare and so they don’t even look like the same helicopter.” Always in the back of her mind is “the safety of the crew, being a safe pilot, and doing the best I can.” Driscoll enjoys the selfreflection her job and the aviation community allow her and being able to admit to herself, ‘I’m not very good at this and I need to

work on it.’” “There’s a balance of needs,” said Driscoll, in regard to aviation threat assessment. With more advanced missile systems coming out, she voices her thoughts in line with others: “Do pilots have time to react to these threats or would unmanned aerial vehicles be a more appropriate platform to use?” The Navy’s Fire Scout program is exploring what helicopter drones can do vs. human-piloted aircraft and assessing the overall benefits of each. Driscoll described her first aviation experience in a

neighbor’s Cessna as “being able to take off and be in a second world — away from problems on the ground and the rest of life going on. When you land, it’s funny to realize that life continues — the clock has continued to tick while you’ve been gone.” She’s also experienced the opposite as a pilot: “You get so task-focused and tasksaturated that it takes you away from daily life. But when you get into that moment of intense crew coordination — when things start to work seamlessly and you start to work as a team and back each other up — it’s a

neat experience to be accomplishing all these things with only three people on the aircraft.” On a recent walk down the street to get coffee, Driscoll recounted, “I got stopped by two people saying, ‘Are you a female pilot? Do you fly helicopters?’” I said, ‘Yes.’ “They were so excited and said, ‘That’s awesome — you go, girl!’” Go where next with The BattleCats? “We’re heading west,” is all Lt. Driscoll revealed. “We’ll see what happens in the world.”

Letters to the editor/opinion

For safety, dogs should be leashed in preserve As a mountain biker who regularly rides in Penasquitos Nature Preserve I do my best to follow the rules, especially when it comes to yielding to hikers and horses. I have recently encountered dog owners in and around the park who are either unaware of or who refuse to obey the leash law. On one occasion, I was charged by an off-leash dog who barked ferociously while the owner explained that he had never bitten anyone but he hated bikes. On another occasion, I mentioned to the owner that there was a leash law and that it was for the dog’s safety as well as everyone else’s, and I got a look of disdain in return. I have seen a rattlesnake and a coyote in the middle of the day in just the past month or so. I wonder if the owners consider that their dogs could be injured or killed by wildlife, not to mention the possibility of getting hit by a bicyclist or kicked by a horse. I realize that these inconsiderate dog owners represent a minority and that this is a low priority for law enforcement. I hope responsible owners educate the ignorant before anyone gets hurt.

Plenty of fault on both sides of cyclist-car debate

PHYLLIS PFEIFFER Vice President and General Manager

Recent letters chastising bicyclists’ bad behavior in traffic fail to address the big picture: both motorists and cyclists contribute to rude and uncivil actions on our streets. Finger-pointing and demonizing cyclists is counterproductive and just instills intolerance between car drivers and bicycles. I’m a cyclist who cringes every time I stop at a stop sign, only to see my fellow cyclists blow right through. I also cringe at every car driver who fails to stop completely, speeds, passes dangerously on the right, and exhibits the brazenly uncivil driving behavior that is now rampant on our highways. We should all strive to follow the traffic laws, and just act with care and compassion around our fellow citizens, whether in a car or on a bike. Melissa Wolfson Carmel Valley

One Paseo records, documents sought under California Public Records Act

KAREN BILLING Senior News Writer

The California Public Records Act allows any citizen to request records and documents from officials and employees on their city, county and state governments. I recently emailed a request to the City Clerk in San Diego to inspect or copy agency records concerning any and all communications between City Councilmembers/City Attorney’s Office/Development Services Department or its staff and everyone representing Atlantis Group/Kilroy Realty Corporation in regard to the proposed project known as One Paseo, including calendars, emails, faxes, letters, phone messages and texts for the period of 01/01/2010 to the present. (CPRA 2014-1007, dated Oct. 23, 2014). I will release details of these communications as time goes on. It may take litigation to obtain some of these communications such as texts used on personal electronic devices for official government business. Courts in San Diego and throughout California have ordered production of these communications in furthering the Public Records Act’s goals of open government and transparency. I will be working on this case with Citizens Oversight, a nonprofit 501(c)3 corporation that represents ratepayers before the Public Utilities Commission and promotes open government at city, county, state, and federal levels, among numerous other public interest projects. Recent Citizens Oversight open government projects involve open government meetings under the Brown Act and transparency in the California Public Utilities Commission, including the $4.5 billion controversy concerning ratepayers after the closure of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. It is in the interest of open government that the lobbyists and large corporations do not dominate the process of government behind closed doors — using their immense wealth to privately influence our government. Public servants and officials are elected to serve the public interests, not just private ends. Citizens need access to public records and communications to be educated and vote intelligently. Openness and transparency promotes this policy. The response on this project so far has been very positive and informative. It will hopefully assist the community’s interest in being informed at the upcoming City Council hearings on the proposed project. William C. Bibb William C.

When the man in your life won’t see the doctor, try these steps BY THOMAS CARTER, M.D., SCRIPPS HEALTH You think you are making a simple request when you encourage the man in your life to see a doctor, so his lack of interest or tendency to avoid scheduling an appointment may leave you bewildered. But your man is not alone. According to the American Academy of Family Physicians, more than 1 out of 4 men wait as long as possible before going to see a doctor when they feel sick, are in pain or are concerned about their health. While women typically see a doctor regularly throughout their lives, men often do not make annual visits to the doctor until they are older. Women become comfortable at an earlier age talking candidly to their doctors about changes in their bodies as they begin menstruation, become pregnant or experience symptoms of menopause. Men, however, often end up in middle age with a lack of familiarity with the health care system. That’s not to say that men aren’t interested in taking care of their health, but you may have to educate them about the value of an occasional visit to the doctor. • Save him time and effort. Men will often use the excuse that they are too busy to go to the doctor. So take action and schedule an appointment for him at a convenient time, with a doctor you trust and who you think would be a good fit. Once in the office with the doctor, he can discuss how often he should schedule an appointment. You can even offer to go with him if he prefers not to go alone. • Help him prepare. Work with him on a list of questions he wants answered, along with any symptoms he’s experiencing, and his own medical history as well as his family’s. To get the most out of his visit, he should expect to talk honestly about his lifestyle, including diet, exercise, sleeping habits, smoking and alcohol consumption. • Provide a good reason to go. Men often don’t want to take time away from their careers and family to focus on their own health. Tell him that keeping him healthy is a priority for you or your family, especially if conditions such as diabetes, cancer, heart disease or stroke run in his family. In addition, some health problems often have no symptoms — high blood pressure, high cholesterol or prostate problems may be silent, but deadly. • Use terms he will understand. Help him understand the importance of preventive care visits in his language. For example, going to the doctor for a simple check-up is much like an auto tune-up. It can make sure he is healthy or detect a possible issue at an early stage while it’s easily treatable. Putting off a doctor visit until he is in pain or at an advanced stage of a disease may make treating his condition that much more difficult or costly. In addition, remember to avoid nagging and speaking for him. He is the one who needs to establish a relationship, and build trust with, his doctor. Talking to his doctor about your concerns without him can backfire. It’s common for men to avoid the doctor, but patience, understanding and talking about it rationally will help. Once he finds a doctor he is comfortable with, the two of them can work together on next steps, including future follow-up visits.

Four-peat for Torrey Pines Falcon volleyball BY TERRY MONAHAN, SPECIAL TO THE CV NEWS, DM TIMES, SB SUN The Torrey Pines girls volleyball team won their fourth consecutive CIF championship over Canyon Crest Academy on Saturday, Nov. 22. The top-seeded Falcons beat the neighboring Ravens with a 25-19, 26-24, 25-13 victory at Cathedral Catholic High School. The title is the 17th for the Falcons (27-6), who survived quite a scare in the second game. The score was tied 15 times and the lead changed hands seven times before junior Savvy Simo’s kill all but ended any hopes of a comeback by the No. Mollie Frager and Hannah Schrae2 Ravens (28-7). Senior Savannah Rennie, who will graduate ger celebrate their championship. early and enroll in Cal in January, finished with 12 kills, six blocks and an ace in her “last hurrah” in high school volleyball. Simo had 13 kills and Jillian Strockis had nine kills, two blocks and two aces. Jolie Rasmussen and Lindsey Fry each led the Ravens with four kills. “Game two was huge,” said Falcons coach Brennan Dean, who has a title in all four of his seasons as coach. “I’m jealous of our tennis team with 25 straight titles. My four is way short of them.”

Seven members of Canyon Crest Academy girls’ varsity cross country team hit the ground running at the San Diego CIF Championships on Nov. 22 at Morley Field in Balboa Park. Junior Kelly Bernd ran the 2.75-mile course in 16:43.57 and won the Division 3 race. The girls competed against 14 high schools in Division 3. The team placed second in an impressive team effort, punching their ticket to the 2014 CIF State Cross Country Championships next weekend in Fresno.

DMCV Sharks compete in intra-league recreational tournament The Del Mar-Carmel Valley Sharks recreational soccer program played its Intra-League Recreational Tournament recently. This tournament was jam-packed with close, exciting games, and it gave the recreational players the opportunity to participate in a more competitive environment.

LOCKDOWN continued from page 1

“We didn’t know whether it was a viable threat.” Jaffe said the matter will be treated as a crime and any student caught making school threats would face a minimum of suspension. Yik Yak, an app started in 2013 and available for Apple and Android phones but not the Internet, has a friendly-looking yak as its mascot and lets users share anonymous posts with people within a 1.5-mile radius. “Social media is not anonymous,” Jaffe told reporters. “If you post something, you will be held accountable.” The Torrey Pines campus was locked down for three hours. Minutes after that incident resolved, Canyon Crest Academy was locked down as school was about to be dismissed. A student reported seeing a posted threat that said, “I’m on the way with three guns.” In both cases, San Diego police and school staff searched classrooms and grounds, finding no threat or weapons. When asked for comment on the Nov. 20 threats and subsequent school ac-

tions, San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent Rick Schmitt released the following statement: “I am proud of our students and staff for how they handled all, especially proud of our students who took the threat seriously and did everything we asked of them at both schools. SDPD was incredible in their response, cooperation, communication, teamwork, access to technology and skill. I was also appreciative of parents’ understanding, patience and trust. “Hopefully, teenagers and their parents realize that anonymous social media posts are not anonymous if you bully or threaten. Law enforcement has the tools, the right and the experience to catch those who make virtual threats. “And finally, the ‘see something/say something’ approach to potential threats seems to be working. Both students and parents have been reporting potential threats to staff the past couple of years, which is a good thing. The ‘teenage code of silence’ has been replaced with an understanding of how to best keep all safe.” When asked what students did during the lockdowns, Schmitt replied,

Girls Div. 5 White Sharks

Boys Div. 4 White Sharks

Boys Div. 5 Navy Blue Sharks

“Depending on the teacher...after they locked down with lockblocks, curtains, blinds etc., each class was handled differently. Some made popcorn, slept, socialized, watched TV, used social media, studied, read, some even continued with class until the end of the period at noon. “Many students ended up in classes other than their own. If students were out on campus when the lockdown was announced, they ducked into the nearest classroom. When students and staff needed to use the restroom they called the office. We had administrators escort them to the restroom with dozens of police on campus.” When asked for comment on the events of Nov. 20, Joyce Dalessandro, SDUHSD school board president, issued the following statement: “Anonymity, invisibility, really doesn’t exist in our world any longer. Certainly it does not exist on social media. Parents and teachers work to instill this truth in our children. The lure of social media is strong, however, and sometimes trumps our best efforts. “The internet presents a tempting vehicle for some kids to make poor choices. The vast majority of kids

would never choose to post anything, anonymous or not, that is intended to hurt, frighten or threaten others. In fact most have learned, when coming across such postings, to share the information with a parent or teacher. “In the end, we know that law enforcement has the power, authority and the technology to identify the anonymous when they are breaking the law. The response, cooperation, coordination, communication, and technological capabilities of the SDPD to the crisis at Torrey Pines High School and at Canyon Crest Academy continue to be worthy of the highest praise.” When asked what the charges are against the two teens who have been arrested and what the potential penalties are related to those charges, Steve Walker, communications director for the San Diego County District Attorney, said in an email “As this is a juvenile case (juvenile court works much differently that adult court), it’s confidential and we’re not able to discuss it.” A hearing held Nov. 25 for the accused teen in the TPHS case was closed, therefore media could not attend the hearing. Writers Debbi Baker, Marsha Sutton and Joe Tash contributed to this report.

trict’s sub shortage is compensation. Romero said DMUSD pays “pretty low” compared with other school districts. Neighboring San Diego Unified School District pays $155 a day compared with DMUSD’s $100 per day. And the gap may get bigger. Romero said Tim Asfazadour, the former assistant superintendent of human resources now holding the same position at San Diego Unified, may propose to the board an increase in substitute pay to $175 an hour. “We’re in constant competition monetarily,” Romero said. “That’s where we are concerned about management” of the consortium. Romero said he still believes that DMUSD is an attractive place for subs to work. Since the district is expecting an increase in enrollment because of development in Pacific Highlands Ranch, there might be 25 more teaching positions open over the next five years. “There’s opportunities

for substitutes to gain employment by becoming a part of the consortium,” he said. That’s a message Romero said they are trying to get out to substitutes. One former DMUSD substitute has claimed that the district does not hire long-term subs when a permanent position becomes available, instead posting the job on Edjoin and getting thousands of new applicants. She said that this “lack of respect” for longterm subs is one reason why teachers do not want to sub in DMUSD. In response to the former substitute’s complaint, Romero said the last teacher he hired, a kindergarten teacher at Torrey Hills, was actually one of their longterm subs. “I can comfortably say that many of our teacher hires come from long-term subs or subs in general, but we also seek the most qualified candidate,” said Romero, who added that next month they plan to bring an item before the board to increase substitute compensation.

TPHS tennis team takes second at state championships The Torrey Pines girls tennis team made it to the finals of the CIF USTA Southern California Girls Tennis Championships but fell to Peninsula 2-5. For Peninsula (the No. 1), it was the second consecutive championship. “This was the first time ever that the TP girls tennis team made it to the finals of the state tournament,� said co-captain CC Schwab. “In the finals, there were easily six highly ranked national players, so the level of play was like a national tournament.� The Torrey Pines doubles teams of CC and Kathy Wang and Michelle Hao and Jessica Walker swept their three matches. CC and Kathy had won the CIF San Diego section doubles championship the previous weekend. The team’s nationally ranked freshman, Hannah Zhao, could not compete due to injury. Falcon Sofie Beachboard had a key win for Torrey Pines in the quarterfinal match against Santa Barbara, which led to the Torrey Pines team advancing 4-3 to the semifinals against University High. The University versus TP match was a repeat of last year, when the two teams met in the semifinals, except this year the TP team won 5-2 against University. The championship run marked the end of a great season for the Falcons.

“This has been a great work in process,” said NCTD Executive Director Matthew Tucker. “Understanding the history of the project really teaches the importance of us working together to achieve a project outcome that meets the vision of the city as well as our transportation needs.” “It’s a project where we get a chance to collaborate” with NCTD, added Solana Beach resident Gary Martin. “They’re interested in protecting the community’s character (and) they’re interested in protecting the neighborhood, at the same time, trying to accomplish their goals that won’t have those negative impacts. That’s a big switch from where we were in 2007, when NCTD had a completely different attitude about what was good for anybody else but themselves.” Officials expect to release the request for proposals Dec. 1, with a Feb. 27 deadline. The NCTD board of directors could approve an agreement at its Oct. 15, 2015 meeting.

council liaisons on the San Dieguito Double-Track Ad Hoc Committee, which was formed to gain a complete understanding of the project, identify problems, and identify and prioritize mitigation measures. With the committee’s help, the council outlined the city’s concerns in a letter to SANDAG last fall, and again in the spring, when SANDAG only acknowledged receipt and provided the city with an updated version of frequently asked questions regarding the project, according to a June 2 letter to Del Mar. Although SANDAG responded to the city’s second letter, some do not believe that it, or the environmental assessment, addresses all of Del Mar’s concerns. “Staff has been reviewing the environ-

mental assessment,” said Haydu at the Nov. 17 council meeting. “There is concern that SANDAG has not identified any impacts or defined mitigation that addresses the previously stated concerns of Del Mar.” “It seems like a done deal, even though the impacts on Del Mar will be real,” Parks added at the open house. The environmental assessment was prepared to analyze the surrounding environment, potential impacts, project alternatives, and applicable mitigation measures. Public comments on the report must be to SANDAG by Dec. 1. For information about the project or to review the environmental assessment, visit keepsandiegomoving.com.

digital art, according to Nuskin. “Another big theme we’re looking at is the physical fitness program, not just PE but physical fitness and wellness — emotional, intellectual and social wellness,” she said. She said the group wants the total school environment to be one where students will understand what it means to be balanced. “Kids have embraced rigor, maybe to a fault,” Nuskin said. “We want them to understand the school is a place with caring, nurturing adults able to support them.” The bell schedule has yet to be determined. Nuskin said they intend to be mindful about start and end times of feeder schools and neighboring CCA for traffic purposes, as well as embracing some of the studies about students and sleep and the benefits of later start times. Some CCA students have been invited to the next planning meeting as the group looks at technology and social and emotional support for students. “They have great ideas and they’re not too far removed from middle school,” Nuskin said. “It’s good for us to brainstorm with them and get their ideas.” Work is still ongoing on the school’s website and social media presence, but information on Pacific Trails can be found on sduhsd.net.

use of the site,” explained City Manager David Ott. Since then, city staff, NCTD staff and council liaisons Nichols and Lesa Heebner have determined the lack of interest was partly because the site was too small and constrained to build an adequate, financially viable development, Ott said. In addition, a requirement to build and finance 75 underground transit parking spaces and an underground structure to support the development also created financing challenges. “It’s very well designed, and something that the community has already embraced,” Heebner said. In accordance with the initial request, the station will be repurposed, rather than demolished, for use as a restaurant, retail space or transit-oriented shop. Ticket sales and other train services will be relocated to the train track level. According to the new request, however, the project will be

phased and include the same area plus about onethird of the parking lot north of the station. NCTD will fund part of an underground parking structure during phase one, which now comprises about 2.6 acres. Although the 300-space facility is intended for transit users and the greater public, the city could help cover some of the costs so employees from nearby businesses could also use it. Ott noted that the city has held a series of workshops with business and property owners and other community members over the past year regarding possible parking solutions for Coast Highway 101 and the Cedros Design District. “We felt that this might be a great opportunity to address some of those issues,” he said. The train station site has been a point of contention in the past. After seven years in the works, the council in late 2008 determined that a controversial $72 million mixed-use project called Cedros Crossing was incompatible with the city’s general plan.

continued from page 2 and other supporters donated $500,000, challenging the community to match the funds. Doing so would allow the conservancy to retire the entire acquisition debt in just three years and move forward with the restoration and enhancement of the site. “It’s just so impressive and heartwarming that we’re really going to have this in perpetuity,” said Councilman Peter Zahn. “Every one of our descendants and every one who comes through our community can be touched by this and enjoy it.” “That’s all we ever wanted,” added Mayor Thomas Campbell. “We just wanted to make sure that it couldn’t be taken away, couldn’t be changed.”

Del Mar writer’s novel ‘August 9th’ plays with the idea of ‘what if?’ BY KRISTINA HOUCK “What if?” It’s a question we often ask ourselves, and a question many of Stu Schreiber’s readers have asked while reading his debut novel, “August 9th.” The story begins on Aug. 9, 1969, when Dan Brewster, an 18-year-old student at UC Los Angeles, goes to a Led Zeppelin concert with his girlfriend, Maggie. Near the end of the band’s encore, he and a girl in the next row lock eyes — twice. “It’s an overwhelming human connection that is rare,” explains Schreiber, a longtime Del Mar resident. “It impacts him.” Although they don’t say a word, the pair’s momentary connection stays etched in Dan’s mind. From there, the story follows the main character’s life for the next 40 years — a story of life and love, joy and sorrow. “People can’t put it down because it’s compelling, but it also lingers with them afterward,” he said. “It raises questions in their own lives, and I was hoping that that would happen.” Schreiber will be the featured speaker at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 3 at the monthly “Local Author Showcase” at the Del Mar Library. Although the book is not based on his life, some of the characters and story details reflect his experiences. He recalled the moment he met his former girlfriend 45 years ago at Hollywood Park Racetrack. “I saw this girl who captured my eye,” Schreiber said. “It turned into (us) being inseparable for the next

Stu Schreiber four years. She moved to Del Mar with me and is the woman that I probably should have married.” A Del Mar resident for more than 40 years, Schreiber has had careers as an entrepreneur, co-founder and CEO of a public company, insurance industry executive, business coach, spin instructor and racetrack clocker. From business plans to PowerPoint presentations, Schreiber said he has always enjoyed writing, and has even co-written six books on how to start and grow a small or home-based business. But “August 9th,” available on Amazon, is Schreiber’s first novel. “My artistic expression has always been through writing, but until just recently, it’s been nonfiction,” he said. “It’s been very rewarding and very flattering to get the kind of response that I’ve had with it.” “August 9th” is available on Amazon.com.

Canyon Crest Academy student filmmakers create documentary short on 10th Switchfoot Bro-Am BY KRISTINA HOUCK With behind-the-scenes access to San Diego-based, Grammy-award-winning rock band Switchfoot this summer, four young filmmakers captured the 10th annual Bro-Am surf contest and concert, which has raised more than $1 million for local underprivileged teens in the past decade. “Working with Switchfoot was incredible,” said Canyon Crest Academy senior Brandon Chase, who worked alongside fellow student filmmakers John De Vito, Nick Snyder and Evan Stefanko. “Even though we’re in high school, they treated us like we were at the same level as them. They didn’t treat us any different. It was one of the most professional projects I’ve ever been a part of.” A production of Envision Cinema and the school program CCA-TV, the short film, “Switchfoot: Close to Our Hearts, the Bro-Am Documentary,” focuses on the band’s mission to give back to its hometown. Like the filmmakers, members of the band also grew up in San Dieguito Union High School District. “It’s such an awesome experience for high school students to be able to do a documentary about a real concert with a major artist,” said Mark Raines, the cinema coordinator of Canyon Crest Academy’s Envision, which offers day classes and after-school programs for cinema, dance, digital and fine art, instrumental music, theater, and vocal music. “The cool thing is they’re from the same school district, they live in this community and the money goes to benefit teenagers in their hometown.” From filming and editing, to interviewing and scheduling, the four students developed a variety of skills while working on the project, which took two

days to shoot and nearly three months to complete. “I definitely learned how to work with others and incorporate someone else’s views or opinions in a project,” said Brandon, who aspires to work in the film industry. Having already screened the documentary for their Envision Cinema peers, the filmmakers are set to debut their short film during the Envision Festival of the Arts, which takes place from 3-8 p.m. Dec. 6 at Canyon Crest Academy. Tickets cost $6 for students and $10 for adults. The film is also available online at www.youtube. com/CCATelevision.

Brandon Chase filming the documentary. “I’m really happy with it,” said John, a junior at Canyon Crest Academy, who also has a dream to be a professional director. “In the end, it came out really well and we got everything we really wanted to get. I think we told a pretty good story.”

Sweethearts of Swing to perform at Friends Night Out Program in Solana Beach Dec. 9

Elevate Church in Carmel Valley held its fourth annual Operation Christmas Child shoebox packing party recently.

The boxes go to boys and girls ages 2-14, most of whom have never received a gift before. Some live at orphanages where they have to share one toothbrush and towel with 20 other children. Many have no toys or school supplies, and have never tasted candy. Volunteers from the community and Elevate church came together to pack 1,223 shoeboxes. Donations from Road Runner Sports (500 shoes), Kathy Loper Events (T-shirts), Jimbo’s (scones for volunteers), local dentists (toothbrushes and toothpaste), Ralphs and Albertsons (various gifts), as well as year-round shopping by Project Coordinator Irene

Visitors to the village of Del Mar can now enjoy a walk down memory lane with the help of a newly installed guided walking tour. New QR-coded plaques have been installed on several of the historically significant buildings in the area. With a touch to a smartphone or tablet, pedestrians can now scan the code and get detailed information on the buildings and the colorful past of the residents who developed the seaside neighborhood in the early 1900s. Plaque locations include: • L’Auberge Del Mar — Originally built in 1910, through the years it was also known as the Stratford Inn and the Hotel Del Mar. • Stratford Square — Historically known as the Kockritz Building, this was the most prominent building in town during 1927 when it was established. • Del Mar Library — Formerly the St. James Catholic Church, which celebrated its first Mass in 1914 without pews, lights or an altar. • Davidson Building — Built in 1927 as the Hotel Del Mar Garage, it later added gasoline and automotive services and grew into a thriving automotive shop. • St. Peter’s Church — Carefully preserved since its construction in 1940, the

church remains Del Mar’s only house of worship and features a beautiful redwood interior. • Jake’s Del Mar — Formerly the Stratford Inn Garage, established in 1910, it was the first garage to serve hotel guests. • En Fuego Cantina and Grill — Originally built in 1930, the former space housed the Family Mushet Office and Residence. • 1414-1418 Camino Del Mar, shops along Camino Del Mar — The buildings date to 1926, and one in particular served as the old Del Mar Post Office, known as the Kibler Building. It housed Mae Kibler, the town’s postmistress, and her husband, who owned a real estate office next door. • Del Mar Plaza — One of the most historically significant buildings in the area; despite its 1989 origin, it commemorates the neighborhood’s past and evolution over the years. Future plaques are planned to encourage more visitors to enjoy the preservation and restoration of the historical locations and learn more about the Village of Del Mar’s rich history. In addition, a walking map will be produced to help with a selfguided tour of the Village of Del Mar’s historical points of interest. Visit http://www. delmarmainstreet.com.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

C. J. Charles’ luxe renovation befits world’s finest watches, jewelry BY MARTI GACIOCH C.J. Charles Jeweler’s recent renovations offer a glistening new showcase in which to shop for the world’s finest timepieces and jewelry. The longtime La Jolla jeweler on Prospect Street in the Village has exceeded the extraordinary with a project that required high-end materials and many months of work by the finest architects, designers, mechanical engineers, builders, lighting contractors and finish fabricators available. “This is our costliest renovation to date,” said owner/ president Vahid Moradi. “We had to close for one month to complete the project.” C.J. Charles is now illuminated entirely with LED lights that display a showroom finished in walnut paneling and cabinetry. An eye-catching Baccarat chandelier sparkles from the ceiling. The flooring is a top grade of limestone (gold and sand) and white Calcutta marble suitable for a villa. “Our store was inspired by shops on La Place de Vendome in Paris,” Moradi said. “We created an experience of luxury and held nothing back in the extravagance for our clients. The luxury here is comfortable, but it’s also cozy and extremely appealing to clients with whom we forge a bond immediately.” Some of the finest brand timepieces in the world (all Swiss) show their watches at C.J. Charles — Cartier, Breguet, Vacheron Constantin, A Lange & Sohne, and IWC.

“The food will be out of this world and we expect more than 100 people to attend and enjoy our new showroom,” Moradi said. During

jeweler’s

busiest time of the year, Nov. 26-Dec. 8, C.J. Charles will donate 5 percent of the store’s proceeds to Moore’s Cancer Center, which invited Moradi to join its board in 2015. “Supporting the quest for a cure for cancer has been a passion of mine for years,” he said of the board appointment.

The grand opening for the renovated space will coincide with C.J. Charles’ Holiday Party on Dec. 11. Cartier’s 500-square-foot “salon d’espace” features its trademark red carpet and red leather walls. Cartier’s 500-square-foot salon d’espace features Cartier’s trademark red carpet paired with walls of red leather, in which Cartier installed an elaborate wall cabinet of stainless steel and mahogany and a seating area fashioned from taupe-hued leather.

Life Without Disease Seminar Series: Combating Infectious Disease on a Global Level We invite you to attend this free seminar In our highly connected world, it is impossible to ignore diseases simply because they are happening in another country. As the recent spread of Ebola illustrates, diseases do not limit themselves to the confines of international borders. Each year, over 500 million people are infected with hemorrhagic fevers such as Lassa, Marburg, Dengue, Yellow Fever, and Ebola, and only one has an effective vaccine. Join us as Dr. Sujan Shresta shares her work toward developing therapeutics and vaccines for Dengue Fever, the most prevalent of the hemorrhagic fevers. Dr. Shresta’s presentation will be preceded by an introduction from La Jolla Institute’s Executive Vice President, Dr. Stephen Wilson, who will share the exciting advances of immune system research and how it is bringing forth interventions in health and medicine that will help people live better lives. A Q&A will follow the presentation, conducted by La Jolla Institute’s President and Chief Scientific Officer, Dr. Mitchell Kronenberg.

Tuesday, December 2, 2014 5:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

Diamonds Are Forever Fashion Gala More than 300 people filled the Aston Marin exotic car showroom in San Diego Nov. 18 to support the Black Tie CEO Club’s cause of helping abused and abandoned dogs. Patrons from Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar and all the way to Los Angeles filled the seats to glimpse the latest fashions by local designers Jose Maria and Camille Wood. Event organizer, local attorney and Black Tie CEO Club founder Steven Riznyk says, “I have always been very passionate about helping the lives of canines. As a dog lover, I feel there is so much we can do, and tonight’s attendance is a clear example that people do care.” The event also included a silent auction with diamond jewelry and paintings donated by local businesses. Aston Martin showroom General Manager Jim Lankford said he is proud the dealership was able to serve as the backdrop for such a worthwhile event. The exotic car location opened its doors this month.

Santa Fe Christian Schools celebrate fourth annual ‘Give Thanks, Give Back’ service project Santa Fe Christian Schools’ 4th Annual “Give Thanks, Give Back” school-wide service project was held Nov. 21, in conjunction with the Friends & Family Community Connection. SFC students raised money for all food supplies, including: rice, soy meal, dried vegetables and vitamin supplements. All attendees then packed meals to help fight hunger in Tanzania. Many Tanzanian children live on the streets because AIDS and poverty-related diseases have killed a large portion of the adult population. SFC’s 200,000 meals will be distributed through the Children’s Community Center in partnership with the local Tanzanian government. The local government provides school uniforms, school fees and basic medical care for children at the Center. For many of these children, the Center provides their only meal of the day.

The Hidden Dangers of Being Overweight with Varicose Veins It is widely known that being overweight can cause a multitude of health problems, including diabetes, arthritis and heart disease, among others. What is not as commonly known is the dangers and difficulties that may be hiding in the form of varicose veins. Not only are they more likely to occur in those that are overweight, but they are also more difficult to diagnose and treat.

On average, about 30% of people will develop varicose veins at some point in their life, and that number is even higher for those that are overweight. But for many of those overweight people, their varicose veins go undiagnosed. One reason for this is that the bulging veins are often simply harder to see when there is more fat under the skin. Another symptom of varicose veins is discomfort and heaviness of the legs. Again, these warning signs may go misdiagnosed because they become attributed to the patient’s weight problem itself. One of the hidden dangers here is that when varicose veins are left untreated, they can cause skin damage on the lower leg, and those who are overweight are already at a greater risk of leg ulceration. One of the main reasons it is difficult for overweight patients to locate swollen veins is that while on a standard-sized leg, the

veins usually reside 1-2 cm under the skin, in a larger leg they can be 4-5 cm below the surface. An experienced doctor, however, will be able to use a duplex ultrasound scan to diagnose varicose veins. This noninvasive procedure can “see” below the skin and assess the condition of the veins at any depth. For this reason, it is important to get checked out by an experience professional if there is any indication that you might be suffering from varicose veins. Lastly, the added problems can carry over into the treatment of varicose veins. The normally minimally invasive laser treatment can be much more difficult for the surgeon and can cause much more discomfort in the patient. Additionally, if the treatment option involves general anesthesia, an overweight patient is opening themselves up to other risks. And if they choose an alternative, non-surgical

solution like compression stockings, this too carries additional danger. Stockings can often slip down the leg, and on an oversized thigh, they are much more likely to fall and bunch around the knee, which in turn can make varicose veins even worse. Like with most health conditions, one of the keys to successful care is early diagnosis and treatment. If you think you may suffer from varicose veins, do not wait or dismiss the potential dangers. Consult with a vein specialist as soon as possible. At the San Diego Vein Institute, each stage of our diagnosis and treatment is preformed by doctors specializing in vein care.

‘Tis the season for party animals — Part 1 The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Since we’re a communal melting pot and there are many crossovers among assorted cultures, we’re fortunate to be able to partake in the delights of all the December traditions — social, religious and ethnic. Here’s the line-up of festivities and some food highlights for the month’s party offerings so you can pick your pleasure. Cheers! New twist on the old cocktail The secret, sexy cocktail parties of the 1920s during the period of bathtub gin and speakeasies evolved into the cool cocktail culture of the Rat Pack and “Mad Men” era. Today’s trendy cocktail soirees shake things up (like Bond’s martinis) with fun little bites (best made in advance), gardento-glass sips, and an organized, gracious host who is busy mixing with their guests rather than mixing their drinks. Creative mixologists concoct some farm to table holiday whistle whetters (which can also be made beforehand) like cilantro gin slushes, sangria with fresh sage leaves, vodka thyme lemonade, a blackberry mint julep or a cucumber basil tequila zinger. Have plenty of ice and mocktails on hand for the teetotalers. Serve simple crowdpleasing hors d’oeuvres, such as, baby lamb chops with mint chutney, goatcheese stuffed mushrooms, assorted flatbreads, veggie and tandora chicken skewers, beef or turkey sliders, mini lobster rolls, and hearty dips like baked artichoke in a pumpernickel bread bowl. Perfect pitch parties Host a caroling party

serving up sheet music featuring holiday tunes along with harmonious treats. Start with smoked salmon crostini, roasted veggie crudités, and a soul soothing caramelized butternut squash soup. Keep up the tempo with a wild mushroom and chicken puff pastry strudel, and an arugula, pomegranate and pecan salad. For sweet finales Christmas spices roar out of the pantry like cloves, nutmeg, allspice, peppermint, cinnamon and ginger enlivening classic gingerbread and shortbread cookies, mincemeat pies and plum puddings, in addition to other decadent goodies such as cranberry trifle, assorted crème brulees, glazed fresh berries and honey pecan brittle. To wash it down nicely with quintessential holiday comfort drinks, serve top hits including silky smooth eggnog and hot-spiced apple or pear cider. Festival of lights and latkes Chanukah commemorates the ancient miracle when Judah Macabee found a flask that contained enough oil to burn for eight days for the rededication ceremony of their desecrated temple in Jerusalem. Jelly doughnuts aka sufganiyot and latkes or potato pancakes symbolically fried in oil served with chunky applesauce and sour cream are part of the modern day

menu. Riffs on the traditional potato latkes include sweet potato, zucchini, cheese and assorted root pancakes accompanied by apricot or berry sauces. When my grandma was growing up in Russia, her family performed a beautiful “festival of lights” ritual called the Flaming Tea Ceremony. Everyone was given a glass of hot tea and a chunk of brandy-doused sugar. The lights were dimmed and a lit taper was passed around the room, lighting everyone’s high-octane sugar. When the last person’s sugar was ablaze, they dropped the flaming cubes into their tea and the room sizzled. Then they sang Hanukkah songs and noshed on old-world apple strudel. Kwanza – The newbie on the block Since 1966, Kwanza, a seven-day secular celebration of African American heritage has been celebrated annually on Dec. 26. “Kwanza” translates from Swahili to “first fruits” in honor of the treasure trove of harvest fruits and veggies from the African soils. Some traditional dishes served during the Kwanza feast are Koki, a black-eyed pea appetizer, peanut soup, okra and greens, anything yam since the root is considered “the king of crops,” and for dessert, a fresh fruit salad or a creamy coconut pie.

Spiced Cider Ingredients 1 gallon apple cider 10-inch square cheesecloth Piece of butcher’s twine (long enough to tie) Rind from one Meyer lemon Rind from one orange 4 cinnamon sticks 6 whole cloves 6 allspice berries 1-inch stick fresh ginger 1/4 cup amber honey Method: Place cider and honey in a large pot. Make a sachet piling the rinds and spices in the center of the cheesecloth square, bringing edges together, and tying tightly. Drop into the pot and bring to a boil. Simmer for 8 minutes. Remove sachet and pour cider into mugs. Gar-

nish with cinnamon sticks and fresh whipped cream. — For additional holiday recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@ san.rr.com.
