Charter school approved for Encinitas BY KAREN BILLING On Jan. 19, the San Diego County Board of Education approved the SOUL charter school for a two-year term, the first charter school approved on appeal by the county since 2003. SOUL (School of Universal Learning), which aims to open its 7-12th grade school this fall in Encinitas, saw its petition denied by the San Dieguito Union School District last year and made an appeal to the county.
The county board first voted down a five-year approval of the school in a 3-2 vote, but the motion for a two-year approval received unanimous support. SOUL co-founder Marissa Bruyneel said she was elated with the board’s decision. “We are so excited to be the first charter school in the San Dieguito district and to bring a new model of education to San Diego. It is time to change our educational paradigm
and ensure that students leave high school prepared to thrive in today's world,” Bruyneel said. In the coming months, SOUL will go to work securing a location in Encinitas, hiring staff and enrolling students. Bruyneel said parents are emailing them daily wanting to enroll their children and they currently have a list of 100 potential students. “The majority of those students are in the San Dieguito Union High

BY KAREN BILLING Eric Dill was officially voted the new superintendent of the San Dieguito Union High School District on Jan. 19, but he did not receive a unanimous vote of confidence from his board. Trustees Mo Muir and John Salazar voted against his appointment despite the board having reached unanimous support for Dill at closed session meetings in December and January. Trustee Beth Hergesheimer said it was really important to her that the board approached the new superintendent from a unanimous standpoint and expressed her disappointment that it was not the case. “When I went through the re-election cycle this last time, I really came back into this position feeling like this was a real opportunity to start trying to work as a board that could agree to disagree on some things but get the important work done and start moving forward,” Hergesheimer said, expressing her disappointment. “I thought we were making strides forward.” SDUHSD Board President Amy Herman also expressed her disappointment, as she said she thought the board had all been convinced and satisfied by the interview process Dill had gone through. “I feel Mr. Dill is highly qualified for this position. He’s served in the district for over 15 years and he’s done an SEE DILL, A22
SDUHSD cancels contracts due to lawsuit threat BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) terminated four construction contracts at its Jan. 19 meeting after being threatened with litigation. The Carlin Law Group was retained by the California Taxpayers Action Network (CalTAN) to remedy
San Dieguito’s “illegally entering” into four contracts without complying with new transparency and fair-bidding requirements — attorney Kevin Carlin sent a letter to the district on Jan. 12 asking it to rescind the four contracts or CalTAN would file a lawsuit. “The most important thing to me
is that we get the projects done,” SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said, advising that the board terminate the contracts, repackage them and go out for a traditional bid process. “We have the ability to turn around and still make sure these projects happen on the same timeline and to get these out of the
ground over the summer. If we were to decide to challenge or fight or not do this I can see a situation where all the projects would be put on hold until it’s resolved between the two parties, and with construction costs escalating over time we would certainly suffer that if we were to go SEE SDUHSD, A23

New allegations made against horse ranch operator charged in child porn case BY JOE TASH At least three people have accused Carmel Valley horse ranch operator Christian Clews of having “inappropriate sexual contact” with them while they were minors, a federal prosecutor said in court on Thursday, Jan. 19. Clews, 51, who runs the Clews Horse Ranch and is a former longtime member of the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board, on Jan. 19 pleaded not guilty in U.S. District Court to formal charges of possessing and distributing child pornography. The charges stem from an investigation by the San Diego Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force. Following his arraignment, Assistant U.S. Attorney Janet Cabral told Magistrate Judge Andrew G. Schopler that her office had received new information, and was requesting additional restrictions on the movements of Clews, who is out of custody on $150,000 bond and is subject to both home incarceration and electronic monitoring. The new information, she said, regarded three “additional” victims of inappropriate sexual conduct, as well as the presence of minors on the horse ranch property. She did not elaborate in court on how many total alleged victims had come forward, and declined to comment after the hearing. Of the three people who made the allegations, two said they had occurred several years ago,

while one said the contact occurred within the past couple of years, Cabral said in court. Clews has not been charged in connection with any alleged cases of sexual contact with a minor. Another condition of Clews’ release is that he have no unsupervised contact with minors. “It’s our understanding there are numerous minors going to the ranch for riding lessons,” Cabral said. Therefore, she requested that Clews be restricted only to his home, which is located on the 40-acre ranch property, rather than be allowed to move freely around the ranch grounds. Clews’ attorney, Hamilton Arendsen, said he and his client had just learned about the sexual conduct allegations immediately before the arraignment hearing. But he said, “Mr. Clews vociferously refutes them.” Arendsen said Clews has had no contact with minors since his release from custody, following his arrest in December. Other trainers do use the ranch to give riding lessons, and some of their clients are minors, said the attorney. Clews needs to go out on the ranch property to do work related to the facility’s operation, Arendsen said. After consulting with both sides, Schopler said, “I’m inclined to agree with (the
prosecutor) there should be greater restrictions on Mr. Clews. There should be strict home incarceration.” Under Schopler’s order, Clews is allowed to leave his home and go out on the ranch property from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily, as long as no minors are present. He must remain inside his home from 2 p.m. to 6 a.m. daily. He must also inform trainers that no minors are allowed on the property from 6 a.m. to 2 p.m., the judge said. According to a complaint filed in federal district court in December, agents executed a search warrant at the Clews Horse Ranch and Clews’ home on Oct. 28, following a two-year investigation related to possession and distribution of child pornography. During the search, investigators seized several electronic devices from Clews and his residence, which contained numerous child pornography image and video files, said the complaint. The court document said Clews admitted on Oct. 28 to possessing and distributing child pornography. One of the electronic devices seized, a Dell desktop computer, contained approximately 100 child pornography videos, said the complaint. Clews’ next court appearance is scheduled for Feb. 24. Following the hearing, both Clews and his attorney declined comment.

TPHS cross country coach Thorne reflects on 30-year career BY KAREN BILLING The Torrey Pines High School cross country program said goodbye Jan. 20 to Coach Brent Thorne, who for 30 years kept his cross country team moving in the same direction, his heart truly on what was best for the kids. “Thirty years does not come easy,” said this year’s parent liaison Conchita Ramirez. “It’s 30 trips to Mount Sac, 30 summers in pre-season, 30 trips to Stanford many times on the same day as his wedding anniversary, 30 trips to state championships on the Friday after Thanksgiving, hundreds of bus rides with sweaty kids, thousands of practices in the heat and in the cold, hundreds of early Saturday meets. Clearly this has not been only a coach’s sacrifice but his entire family’s as well, so we thank you for that.” Since 1988, Thorne has lead the girls team to 15 league titles, 10 CIF titles and 10 appearances at the state championship meet. The girls cross country team became a force in the state, with 10 times in the top 10 and a state championship in 2009. On the boys’ side, Thorne has 10 league titles, six CIF titles, 12 team appearances at state with six times in the top 10 and one individual state championship with Tal Braude in 2014. Thorne coached Torrey Pines standouts such as Alli Billmeyer, Erin Gillingham, Megan Morgan, Matt Carpowich and Braude, who all went on to run in college. Thorne also served many years as Torrey Pines’ track and field head coach and as the distance coach until 2011. In the audience was Mike Brown, class of 1995, who was Torrey Pines’ only state track and field champion in the pole vault.
KAREN BILLING
Coach Brent Thorne with former Torrey Pines athletes Mike Brown (class of 1995), Julie Komosinski-Sawyer (class of 2001) and Erin Gillingham (class of 2009). Doug Gillingham, the team parent liaison for the 2007-08 season, said Coach Thorne embodies much more than the titles and championship banners that hang in the rafters. He said Thorne stressed in his athletes the values of sportsmanship, teamwork and a fundamental commitment to excellence. “He asked kids to invest in excellence and to be a team and to work together,” Gillingham said. “As you walk by various trophies and look at the banners up there, yeah, there were some great wins along the way but really what’s important is there are 30 years worth of Torrey Pines cross country and distance running kids who had that experience investing in their own definition of excellence and taking that where they could and doing it as a team.”
Thorne, who also serves as the Canyon Crest Academy track team’s high jump coach, said he was lucky to have worked with a lot of really great people at Torrey Pines, including coaches, principals and athletic directors that made it possible to be a successful head coach. He said his last year has been a year of reflection, thinking of all the names and faces and stories over the last 30 years. He said he wasn’t entirely comfortable with being honored and recognized in this way but, as his cousin told him, “Somebody had to drive the bus.” “Sure I got to drive the bus, but I want to tell you about that bus, how full it was. That bus was full of kids, young students here that bought into my dream of having Torrey Pines be the absolute best distance running program
in the state. They struggled and they accomplished and they struggled,” Thorne said. “We have people sitting here today that really struggled battles and demons, really battled belief in themselves and those were actually, in the long run, I think great battles. Great battles being fought to learn the limits of oneself, out on the playing field and then take that with them on to college and later in life.” He said all he asks of his alumni is to stay in touch, to keep him posted on what they are doing in life. He is proud when he hears of the “remarkable” things his former athletes are doing and is touched when he hears one say “you never gave up on me.” “It’s not just about me, everything here I’m being acknowledged for is about the young people that ran for me. Every single one, whether it was the top seven or our 40th runner,” Thorne said. “They all made it possible and they all made it absolutely wonderful.” Thorne’s legacy will be honored at Torrey Pines with a plaque bearing his name and accomplishments. At last week’s ceremony, he made special note of his supportive family in the audience: his sister, his two children, who are Torrey Pines graduates, and especially to his wife, Sandi. “My wife is the only reason that I’m able to coach,” said a tearful Thorne, who is legally blind. “She made it possible that I could have this part-time job, so that I could coach and that my life would be meaningful and relevant. I really owe everything to her, absolutely everything.”

Del Mar Rotary Club continues to make a difference in children’s lives BY STACEY PHILLIPS Last holiday season, festivities started earlier than usual for 150 children and their families when the Del Mar Rotary Club hosted its annual Children’s Christmas Party on Dec. 8. In addition to a visit from “Santa Clause,” the preschoolers in attendance sang Christmas carols and received a new toy and clothing donated by Rotary members. “The men and women who are in Rotary realize how blessed we are and how excited these children get to see this guy in a red outfit called Santa Claus,” said Marty Peters, a Del Mar Rotary member since 1978. “They really felt they were in the Christmas spirit when they partook in this kids’ Christmas party.” Peters has been involved in planning the yearly celebration since its inception. In the 1980s and early 1990s, the Del Mar Rotarians used to hold a Christmas party for their own children and grandchildren. Then a new Rotary member, Al Graff, suggested hosting the celebration for children who lived in the surrounding area of Eden Gardens and were part of Head Start, a government program that promoted school readiness for young children from low-income families. The first Christmas party was held

at Morgan Run Club & Resort (formerly Whispering Palms) in Rancho Santa Fe in 1991. Rotary members rented a bus to bring about 40 children who were part of the Head Start program to the celebration. “It changed our members’ hearts and minds,” said Peters. “You could see that these children were not only dressed in their Sunday best, they couldn’t believe this beautiful thing was happening to them.” Since then, the Del Mar Children’s Christmas Party has become an annual tradition, hosting about 50 to 60 children each time. This year was the largest turnout after Rotary members invited all of
Peters recalled about three years ago when a girl approached him and shared her memories of going to the Christmas party. “She said she never forgot that we were so open and welcoming and she had been encouraged by that,” said Peters. She is now finishing her undergraduate pre-med degree at UCLA and planning to go on to medical school. In the past, the party was often planned at a local hotel. This past year in 2016, it was held at the La Colonia branch of the Boys & Girls Club in Solana Beach, where Peters has been part of the executive board for 40 years. The families invited offered to prepare and bring all of

the children who live in Eden Gardens, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Solana Beach. Also known as La Colonia, the area was formed in the 1920s by Mexican farmers. “My favorite memory was really the first Christmas party that we had for the children,” said 97-year-old Graff, formerly a nuclear engineer. Since then, Graff said he has attended most of the celebrations over the years and has seen how it has made a difference in the children’s lives. “The most important thing is that we’re really affirming these little children by having them. It gives them a feeling of real importance,” he said.

UCSD Super Computer Center shaped by two local residents BY JOE TASH When the San Diego Super Computer Center opened on the UCSD campus in 1985, its first machine, the CRAY XMP-48, cost $14 million and was considered one of the fastest computers in the world. Today’s iPhones, which can fit easily in a pocket or purse, are more powerful. Over the past 32 years, the Super Computer Center’s technology has advanced exponentially; its two latest super computers, Gordon and Sid Karin Comet, far outpace their early forerunner in speed, memory and other parameters. And two Del Mar residents, Sid Karin and Michael Norman, have helped guide the center to its current prominence as a research tool for the national academic community — one of four academic super computer centers operating across the United States. Norman, 63, the center’s current director, is an astrophysicist whose research simulates the early universe following the Big Bang when galaxies were formed. He’s also principal investigator on both Gordon and Comet, which were funded by grants from the National Science Foundation, to the tune of $20 million and $24 million, respectively. A super computer, said Norman, is “just vastly more powerful than your desktop.” Comet, which came on line in 2015, “is made up of 2,000 desktop computers hooked together with a very fast network, so they can talk to each other.”
Comet is built in a series of 27 racks, each holding the processors that provide its computing power. It takes up one end of the floor inside the heart of the San Diego Super Computer Center, laid out in two parallel rows. Gordon, the previous generation super computer, which is still in use, is located in another section of the center. About 250 people work at the center, which takes up three buildings on the La Jolla university campus. The primary uses of the super computers, said Norman, are simulations and big data analytics. Super computers are used by researchers from many different scientific disciplines. “It’s a universal tool,” Norman said. One of the first HIV drugs was designed on the computer, said Norman, and it is used for everything from computational chemistry and genome analysis to engineering, physics, astronomy, economics, political science and linguistics. At any one time, he said, about 200 research projects are underway on each of the center’s super computers, with scientists, graduate students and others accessing the computers remotely. One project, called Cypress, is creating a “tree of life,” by analyzing the genetic sequences of bacteria, and some 3,000 researchers from around the world are participating, Norman said. Sid Karin, 73, the center’s founding director and now director emeritus, was working as a nuclear engineer at General Atomics when he came up with the idea of creating a super computer for academic researchers in the

With the support of the company’s president, he took the idea to academic institutions and later submitted a proposal for funding to the National Science Foundation.

The super computer was used for such simulations as studying the interactions of different types of molecules, and even for analyzing the mechanics of car crashes as a way of improving highway safety. Karin served as director for 15 years, stepping down around 2000. “I’m pretty proud of what we did,” he said. Among the early initiatives, he said, were the super computer’s use for computational biology - “bringing computing to the biology community writ large” and big data, or data intensive computing. As he has watched the rapid advances in computer technology, he said, such areas as workforce training and development of both social and legal parameters to deal with the capabilities of computing power have not kept up. “I think we need to have more of a discussion and debate about how we want things to be,” particularly in areas such as data privacy, Karin said. “My question is, you go to [a store], they remember you personally, you bought a box of Tide, that’s fine, it’s good merchandising. But when they start selling that information, I’m not so sure that’s really OK,” he said. Norman, the father of two daughters, lives in Del Mar with his wife of 40 years, Susan, a retired businesswoman. Karin said he continues to do some consulting work and sits on oversight committees for government labs at Livermore and Los Alamos, but is mostly retired, and spends his time on travel, photography and flying his small airplane.

Carmel Del Mar students receive a perfect score at WordMasters Challenge Three students representing Carmel Del Mar Elementary School recently received a perfect score in the first of three meets in this year’s WordMasters Challenge — a national vocabulary competition involving nearly 150,000 students annually. Competing in the difficult Blue Division of the WordMasters Challenge, fifth graders Lucie Babcock and Ariana Kogan, and sixth grader Brinda Srinivasan each earned a perfect score of 20 on the challenge. Nationally, only 67 fifth graders and 26 sixth graders achieved this result. Other students from Carmel Del Mar Elementary School who achieved outstanding results in the meet include third graders Darko Dresevic and Bryan Huang. The WordMasters Challenge is an exercise in critical thinking that first encourages students to become familiar with a set of interesting new words (considerably harder than grade level), and then challenges them to use those

According to Del Mar, Moore led the installation of a new dirt track at Santa Anita in 2014 that uses “El Segundo sand.” Del Mar also used that material in 2015 when it converted its main track from a synthetic surface back to dirt. Steven Wood Jr., who oversaw Del Mar’s track in 2016, will be Moore’s senior crew member at Del Mar. The summer meet at Del Mar begins July 19.

Fomer CCA baseball player pursues his love of the game Matthew Sallee has played baseball for the past 14 years. It’s a way of life for him now. But, going into his senior year at Canyon Crest Academy last year Matthew felt it would be his last. He wanted a strong senior year to finish up on. However, CCA, under the coach of Ryan Mikkonen, had a record-setting year. Along the way, Matthew pitched a complete game shut-out to win the Bully’s championship tournament. As a result of the team’s success, Matthew wanted more. Unfortunately, Matthew had not applied to any colleges or universities. Another problem, Matthew’s pitching velocity was below average for a high school senior, making it difficult to make the huge jump to collegiate baseball. So Matthew scoured the internet for options. He found the Elev8 Baseball Academy in Delray Beach, Fla., which is a nine-month baseball program consisting of young players from Venezuela, New York, the Dominican Republic, Bahamas, Israel, and Florida players. Most players are juniors and seniors that will soon commit to Division I universities. Matthew thought, “I need another year to develop as a pitcher.” So he applied and was accepted to the academy. Matthew is currently in his fifth month of the program and so far has gained 8 MPH on his fast ball. If all goes well, Matthew should be ready to pitch at the collegiate level during the 2018 season. Matthew hopes to play for a Division III college in Texas. The Elev8 Academy is coached by former MLB players Todd Moser, Ramon Morel and Luis De La Cruz. The academy was founded by Bucky Dent in 1989. Matthew quickly realized the jump from high

So far, Matt’s most challenging game was pitching four innings against Palm Beach Atlantic University. A top tier Division II team, Matthew said “They were simply awesome.” Although many of the hitters Matthew faced were four to five years his senior, “There was absolutely no room for mistakes that night.” Matthew credits his strong fundamental baseball skills to North County baseball programs. Matt played with No Fear baseball club, North County Mavericks, Solana Beach Cardinals and the LCYO baseball league.

Fighting illness and injury CCA boys basketball splits pair With several players fighting the flu, the CCA boys basketball team opened Avocado-West conference play last Tuesday with a gritty win 64-49 at Carlsbad High School. Ryan Michaels led the way with 21 points and junior guard Sam Crespy chipped in 15. The Ravens trailed early in the first quarter when two-year starter Aaron Acosta suffered a sprained ankle and had to leave the game. Acosta is expected to be out two-three weeks. CCA rallied strong in the second and third quarters to put the game out of reach for the Lancers (10-10). On Friday, the Ravens dropped their first conference game 51-46 to perennial
power Torrey Pines (17-3) in front of a packed home crowd. CCA battled Torrey with a suffocating defensive effort led by senior center Sawyer Lebert, who held the Falcons top scorer Jacob Gilliam to one of his lowest scoring outputs of the season. The Ravens led 20-19 at halftime. Ryan Michaels found the range in the second half and kept the Ravens within striking distance, but the depth and size of the Torrey Pines front line was the difference down the stretch. CCA (14-5) continues league play next week hosting Sage Creek (10-10) at home on Tuesday night and then travels to San Dieguito Academy (8-12) next Friday.

Ask what the Torrey Pines boys lacrosse does “off season” and they will tell you, “We give back.” Once school started in the fall, the team already had set in action its community service program. Varsity Head Coach Jono Zissi explains, “Community service and connecting the team with the local community is a top priority for our program and has been for years. Our student athletes can make a difference by using their time and energy to give back to the community in which they live. As the lacrosse team achieves success on the field, we are just as committed to helping others in our community. Character - Culture - Community generating hope among those with various needs within our community.” “Serving our community is an important pillar of our team motto. Volunteering has brought us closer together as a team and taught us that there are many ways to give back and positively impact our community,” said Torrey
Pines junior Ryan Ramirez. Every Tuesday and Friday, you will find varsity players interacting and mentoring students at neighboring Del Mar Pines Elementary School. “Our students love interacting with them - either doing homework or playing. They are kind, polite, patient and responsible,” said Marci McCord, director of Del Mar Pines. The team also volunteers with the Challenged Athletes Foundation’s annual triathlon, Ronald McDonald House clean up, Feeding San Diego food distribution, One Love Foundation and Friends of Jaclyn Foundation. One Love Foundation brings awareness to relationship abuse. The team participated in a workshop to help identify relationship abuse - learning the 10 signs of an unhealthy relationship whether for themselves or someone close to them.

Education gets a little SOUL
T
here’s a new kid on the block in the San Dieguito Union High School District. Coming to a location near you this fall, the School of Universal Learning – SOUL – is the first approved charter school in San Dieguito’s history. After being denied authorization by the SDUHSD board last October, SOUL co-founders Marisa Bruyneel and Michael Grimes made good on their promise to seek authorization at the next level, the San Diego County Office of Education (SDCOE). The approval was granted by SDCOE, at a special board meeting Jan. 19, for two years rather than the customary five. Nevertheless, Bruyneel and Grimes were ecstatic and confident they could show success quickly and return to SDCOE in two years for a five-year renewal. “We know we have our work cut out for us,” Bruyneel said. “However, this has been our life’s mission and we’re certainly up for the challenge.” “Two years is all that we need to prove our model,” Grimes said. “We get to start working on the exciting aspects of the school now.” Grimes confirmed that they plan to open their doors this coming fall, somewhere within San Dieguito’s boundaries. “We’re incredibly happy to now move into securing a facility, finalizing our staff, and signing up our students,” he said. “We finally
get to move into the aspects of SOUL’s development that we are passionate about, and skilled at, so that is incredibly exciting.” The composition of the SDCOE board was key. With two charter school supporters (Paulette Donnellon and Mark Powell) and two considered to be less supportive (Alicia Munoz and Guadalupe Gonzalez), the November election race for SDCOE’s District 5 seat was critical for the charter school movement. District 5 encompasses the coastal communities from Del Mar north and inland to Fallbrook. The District 5 election pitted former state senator Mark Wyland, a charter school supporter, against Rick Shea, who was appointed to the board in 2015 to replace Doug Perkins who suffered a debilitating stroke just after being elected to the SDCOE board in 2014. Perkins, who died in 2016, was a strong advocate of charter schools and ran against Shea in Nov. 2014. In the 2016 race, Shea was endorsed by teachers’ unions, so the election became characterized as a charter vs. union contest. Shea won, barely. But as they say, a miss is as good as a mile – so “barely” hardly matters. At the Jan. 19 meeting, SDCOE rejected the appeal of a charter petition in the Grossmont district by a vote of 3-2 along union/charter lines. So the next item to be considered, the SOUL petition, did not look promising.
www.delmartimes.net For the same nebulous reasons as applied to Grossmont, SDCOE staff recommended a denial of SOUL’s appeal. And as expected, the board voted 3-2 to deny SOUL’s petition which requested a five-year authorization. But then, SDCOE board president Shea asked if anyone would offer another motion. Donnellon motioned and Powell seconded to authorize a two-year approval. “What makes a school are not the computers and it’s not the building,” Powell said. “It’s the teachers, and it’s the commitment to education” – which he said in the case of SOUL’s founders “is 100 percent undeniable.” Apparently SDCOE board members were convinced, because with little discussion they unanimously approved the charter for two years, eliciting screams of joy and applause from the audience. Pattern of denial Before the board voted, seven individuals spoke, six in favor of charter approval and one – Eric Dill, San Dieguito’s newly appointed superintendent – against. Michelle Anderson, the Southern California Regional Manager for Advocacy for the Calif. Charter Schools Association, said CCSA is “concerned about a pattern of recommendations for denial that we are seeing from [SDCOE] staff.” Regarding the findings, Anderson said, “We respectfully disagree on staff’s assessment and further submit that staff has not provided a fair and reasonable standard in their review.” She told the board that CCSA’s reviews are rigorous, and petitions are examined thoroughly. “It is because of this level of scrutiny that we are comfortable with our strong support for the SOUL Charter School appeal today,” she said. SOUL’s Grimes said the school has clear SEE SUTTON, A19

OUR READERS WRITE Why we voted No on Eric Dill as the San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent We were asked to approve the hiring of Mr. Dill as our superintendent for the San Dieguito Union High School District. We voted No because we believe approval of him is premature. We were given the choice of one candidate for the most important job in our district. The other three trustees refused to consider anyone else. When we conducted interviews with experienced superintendent search firms, we were told that the beginning of the calendar year was the most productive time to find the best superintendent. We believe we have a responsibility to our students, parents, faculty and taxpayers to at least explore, during this optimal time, what other candidates may be available. While Mr. Dill may be the best candidate, we don’t know that he is the best one for this district because he is the only person that was considered. We do have concerns that Mr. Dill has no teaching degree, has never taught in a classroom, has never
run a school as a principal or served in any other administrative position at a school. He also has very limited experience working with parents in terms of problem solving or providing a district’s educational vision. We have students under-performing in many of our subgroups and we believe we should have someone with experience in improving student achievement, of which he has no experience. The school board has approved certain items over the past year based upon Mr. Dill’s recommendations that are now problematic for our district, and concerns us. He strongly advocated for the lease-leaseback agreements, which we raised concerns about because of the litigation trend to sue districts because these models were being challenged as not having competitive bidding. Our dissenting votes were, of course, repeatedly ridiculed and protested by union representatives and others. Unfortunately, despite our cautioning against entering into lease-leaseback agreements, the district has received an intent to sue letter pertaining to several of these contracts on the exact basis we tried to warn the other members of the board and Mr. Dill about. But now, under threat of a lawsuit from a well-respected law firm, supported by a
state taxpayers organization, he is recommending that we do a complete turnaround and rescind our vote on these contracts. In other words, he is now recommending that the board do exactly what we recommended months ago. Mr. Dill also advocated for certain other questionable fiscal decisions, such as the 12.5 percent employee raise, which raised our budget by a total of $15 million if you combine the certificated with the classified and administrative raises, including his own raise. The school district now has a nearly $10 million deficit. We will always put your children’s education first. Until a search is conducted, we believe it is premature to make this extremely important decision. John Salazar and Maureen “Mo” Muir San Dieguito Union High School District Board Members

FROM SUTTON, A18 solutions and answers to every item of concern staff presented. Dill supported the denial of the charter, saying San Dieguito did a thorough analysis and reached the same concerning conclusions as SDCOE staff. CCSA’s Southern California Managing Regional Director Miles Durfee, responding in a lengthy letter to each written SDCOE objection, began by saying that CCSA has “great disappointment” in staff’s conclusions. “We do not come to our support for or recommendation to you lightly,” Durfee wrote. “Our CCSA review team provides significant feedback for over 50 petitions annually and is very aware of what the law requires to provide a legally compliant petition.” Because of SDCOE’s pattern of denials, “It is now our concern,” Durfee wrote, “that no charter petition written and submitted to the San Diego County Office of Education will meet staff’s perception of the requirements in law and be provided a fair and reasonable staff review.” He urged the board to take a fresh look at the negative findings and reconsider their validity based upon clarifications in the CCSA letter. “CCSA believes that the staff findings for SOUL Charter School either are inaccurate or do not rise to the level of findings for denial,” Durfee said. Innovation in education After speakers concluded, Donnellon noted that CCSA does not always recommend approval of charters, “and that says a lot.” To the SOUL founders, she said, “I think what you’re doing with SOUL is amazing.” For Powell, the overriding
question he repeatedly asked fellow board members was, “Why not give them a chance?” Powell criticized what he called “overwhelming government codes” that make it difficult for charter schools, which are independent public schools, to form. He said charters work when we “let the parents decide.” If the school is not good, parents will take their kids out. “Give them two years and make them come back,” Powell said. “Give them a chance.” Apparently he had a premonition that the five-year petition would be denied, although it didn’t take a crystal ball to see that one coming. After the rejection of the five-year petition, and then the approval of a two-year authorization, CCSA’s Anderson, in a statement, said, “We think it’s great that SDCOE is willing to work with SOUL and believe it is in the best interest of kids in San Diego County.” SOUL’s Bruyneel praised board members Donnellon and Powell. “They both made well-informed, cogent, and thought-provoking comments in reference to charter schools and the prospect of SOUL,” she said. “Both board members spoke to the need for school choice, stating that a one-size-fits-all education does not work. “They spoke of the importance of innovation in education and that there are so many students that need a school like SOUL. Overall, they were forthright in honoring our program and what we will do for students.” CCSA’s Durfee said, “I am proud that the board could look at the facts being provided them in addition to the staff’s information

Brooks Del Mar
Climate change isn’t a serious problem I’d like to comment on the article regarding students writing letters about climate change. It’s unfortunate that these kids’ through an outside organization are being given a false narrative that’s propagated in our media as fake news. Climate change isn’t a serious problem and this only instills fear in the children’s hearts. An analysis of the Cook et al study states that a 97 percent consensus has been shown to be only
and make a good decision to support an innovative program that has passionate, caring leaders who are committed and could persevere through the very difficult charter petition process.” Durfee said this marks the first school to be approved by SDCOE on appeal since 2003. SDCOE board president Rick Shea, commenting on the approval for SOUL for two years after denying the charter five years, said in an email, “The law allows us to grant either a 2-, 3-, or 5-year approval. What I look for is a program that is innovative, is good for children, and complies with state law. “In compliance with state law, the threshold is quite high because the applicant, who many times has never started a school, is requesting taxpayer money. “I had enough concerns for reasons stipulated in the staff report to not grant a full 5-year approval. The 2-year period allows the applicants sufficient time and motivation to have their program in operation and be able to show us they are successful in meeting criteria for an extension.” Upbeat The problem with a two-year authorization is that the school will essentially have only one full school year (Sept. of 2017 through June 2018) plus a few months in the fall of 2018, before they need to return to SDCOE for renewal. So they don’t really get a full two years. This places the authorizing board and staff in a difficult position, Durfee said, because they don’t have sufficient evidence to approve or not. He noted that the law requires that renewal must be for a full five years and nothing shorter. Durfee provided relevant
0.3-0.5 percent. Out of 11,000 papers, only 41 supported the study’s contention. There are 1,300 scientific peer-reviewed articles that state CO2 manmade emissions aren’t a serious issue. Dr. Einhoffer of the UN IPCC says that it’s become so politicized that it has little to do with science or the environment. The founders of Greenpeace and the Weather Channel concur. Gore’s documentary has nine major errors, according to Dr. Jake Herbert, whose doctoral work dealt with climate change. Particularly troubling is the Mann hockey stick chart. The KUSI documentary along with the film “Climate Hustle” present interviews with climatologists, geologists, oceanographers and physicists who all raise serious questions for the alarmists. The polar bear population is both increasing and decreasing depending upon the species. A recent expedition to the South Pole surprised the scientists as they found the polar caps were increasing. Several books, scientific websites, think tanks and reports all confirm that the alarmist pseudo-science is wrong. I wish the members of the outside organization would do the necessary research and not indoctrinate the students according to their own political ideology and world view. Mark Peter Solana Beach
Education Code on how to measure charter success: “The authority that granted the charter shall consider increases in pupil academic achievement for all groups of pupils served by the charter school as the most important factor in determining whether to grant a charter renewal.” “We would have liked to have seen a five-year petition approval because we believe that a school needs more than a year to demonstrate pupil outcomes and growth in their program,” he said. However, he said he does not remember a board vote against the renewal of a charter that had been initially approved for less than five years. Demonstrating improvement in student achievement after only one year is challenging. Nevertheless, SOUL founders are upbeat. “We’re looking forward to bringing a revolutionary model of education to San Diego and being the first charter school in the San Dieguito district,” Bruyneel said in an email. “Students deserve to have the option to attend a smaller school, and one that is dedicated to developing them mentally, emotionally, socially, physically, and personally,” she said. “SOUL intends to change the educational paradigm and ensure that students graduate high school with the tools and skills needed to thrive. “The unanimous yes to approve our charter for two years is not only a testament to the strength of our program but I think it also speaks volumes to the changes that we’re going to see in education as a whole.” SOUL mission At the regular San Dieguito
board meeting Jan. 19, the same day after the SOUL approval, Dill informed the SDUHSD board of the SDCOE vote. Dill stands by his initial concerns, which he said included inadequate start-up cost estimates, under-developed plans, no track record, fuzzy curriculum standards and enrollment issues. Nevertheless, he congratulated Grimes and wished him luck, saying, “I hope they’ll be successful.” Although the SOUL facility will be located within the boundaries of the San Dieguito district, SDCOE, not SDUHSD, will have oversight of the charter. The mission of SOUL, according to the petition, is to “provide exceptional education that awakens individuals to know who they are, discover their passions and purpose, and thrive holistically, to achieve both mental and life mastery.” [SOUL petition -http://www.sduhsd.net/ documents/Superintendent/ Homepage%20-%20Public% 20Notices/SOUL%20Charter% 20School%20Petition.pdf] Grimes said the school would open this fall with 100 students in seventh grade and 100 students in ninth grade. “We will then grow vertically to have 100 in seventh, eighth, ninth and 10th in Year Two,” he said. “We will be full with 100 students in [grades] 7-12 in Year Four for a total of 600 students.” Supporters of education reform wish SOUL founders and backers the best of luck and hope they prove skeptics wrong.

Gabriella, Jodi and Olivia Stone FROM DILL, A1 excellent job stepping in as interim superintendent for the past six months,” Herman said. Dill joined the district in 2001 and had served as the executive director of business services and director of risk management before being promoted to associate superintendent of business services in 2010. Herman noted Dill has “outstanding” financial expertise and has formed great relationships within the district and community. Salazar said there were several reasons why he would not be supporting Dill’s appointment. He said during the initial search, which began in May, Dill did not apply and was not considered or interviewed. As a board, they unanimously decided to hire another individual but then they changed their mind and the search was put on hold. Salazar said he has disagreed with Dill on several issues, including the charter school petition, the budget,
the incentive for retiring teachers and the 12.5 percent raise for teachers that Salazar still believes is not sustainable. Most recently, he disagreed with lease-leaseback contracts approved in December ahead of a new law that went into effect in 2017. Salazar said he raised concerns about opening the district up to liability and Dill assured him that everything was fine. Since then the district has received a potential lawsuit —the contracts were rescinded later in the meeting, avoiding the potential litigation. Both Salazar and Muir said since the district issued a press release about hiring Dill as superintendent, they received a number of phone calls from district parents asking about his teaching experience and whether he’s ever been a principal. Dill does not have experience in either role. “I never really actually believed that was necessary but I see the point that people have, that the district is in the business of

Last spring, Salazar had been

against the board’s hiring a search firm at all, saying search firms “overcharged taxpayers for an under-needed service.” He was not present at the board meeting in May where the board hired Leadership Associates to complete the search for $26,500. Muir voted against it, preferring another firm. Hergesheimer reminded Salazar and Muir that a search is not a oneto two-month process and she’s happy with the outcome they arrived at — she thought before the meeting that they all were. “We need to move forward,” SDUHSD Board Vice President Joyce Dalessandro said. “We are in a holding pattern and we can’t afford to be. Yes, this is a top-notch district, we cannot afford to be in a holding pattern where nothing is going forward. We have an incredible candidate here. I have heard from dozens of people who are thrilled with our choice.” “I believe he’s the strongest candidate we would find,” Herman echoed.
educationally sound. “Our mission is to provide exceptional education that awakens individuals to know who they are, discover their passion and purpose and thrive holistically, to achieve both mental and life mastery,” Bruyneel said. “Our goal is to revolutionize education. It may sound ambitious, but that's who we are.”
www.delmartimes.net FROM SDUHSD, A1 later as opposed to sooner in letting out those bids. “At this point I think it makes sense as a business decision to terminate these to avoid any of that entanglement which could possibly end up costing us a whole lot whether we prevail or not prevail in that matter.” In December, the board approved lease-leaseback contracts for four Prop AA projects, including Torrey Pines High School’s new performing arts center, a second classroom building at Pacific Trails Middle School, San Dieguito High School Academy’s new classroom building and science classroom, and Crest Hall improvements at Oak Crest Middle School. With the lease-leaseback method, a school district has the flexibility to select a contractor not just by the lowest bid, but on the ability to complete the project. The property is then leased to the contractor, usually for a low amount. The contractor then builds the project and leases the property back to the school district. In September, Governor Jerry Brown signed a new law on lease-leaseback programs that went into effect on Jan. 1, 2017. The bill deleted the language that a school district can enter into a lease-leaseback method “without advertising for bid” and replaces it with a competitive bid process. School boards must also adopt criteria, or a scorecard, to determine what gives the district “best value.” Prior to the law’s passage, Dill said SDUHSD had always used competitive bid process and issued requests for proposals for construction manager. There

is also a competitive process built into the contract — the construction manager receives three to five bids per subcontractor trade and the district requires that they select the lowest bidder. In December, Salazar voiced concerns about liability because the district was aware of the new law and appeared to be trying to get projects in before it took effect. He wanted to ensure that “terminate for convenience,” the action stated on the board’s agenda, and “rescind” the language requested by the attorney, meant the same thing and that the district wouldn’t be open to further legal action. “If we ‘rescind’ are we admitting that we made a mistake of some sort?” Salazar asked, questioning why the use of the language of “terminate for convenience.” Dill said the action taken by the board that night was the most straight-forward as they have a clause in the contracts that allows them to “terminate for convenience.” He said normally the district would not bring a contract termination to the board — he could have done it last week with a simple letter to the construction managers but brought it to the board to send a message to the attorney that they were complying and hopefully the clients would be satisfied. Trustee Mo Muir said she has been very vocal about her dislike of lease-leaseback contracts. “The teachers have picketed us saying that we were against needed classrooms and could not be trusted,” Muir said of last year’s demonstrations against herself and Salazar. “We just wanted the district to do construction legally
and keep our district litigation-free. It’s unfortunate that the threat of litigation has made this board follow the law…I just wish we would’ve done it sooner.” Trustee Beth Hergesheimer argued that what they did last December was legal and that the attorney was being a “bully,” using the power of litigation to keep the district from doing something it had every right to do. Salazar and Muir said if that was the case, they should go to court. But the other trustees said going to court would simply freeze all the projects and they wouldn’t get done. “We can’t say ‘We did everything fantastic and legal and we’re just the greatest but oh we’re going to rescind,’” Salazar said. “The means don’t justify the ends. The fact is that we need to do things legal. And we were jumping the gun. I brought up all these potential allegations or potential concerns at the last meeting and I was told ‘Hey, you’re being silly.’ And apparently not.” SDUHSD Board President Amy Herman said she wanted to clarify that the district has used lease-leaseback for several projects and they have been very successful, bringing projects in on time and on and under budget with very few changes. She said they “stringently” complied with the previous law and they were confident that lease-leaseback was the best model to use for managing projects when they unanimously voted on the contracts in December. “I stand by that decision but I understand our need to do this now under threat of litigation so that we don’t slow the projects down,” Herman said.

Broadway’s Susan Egan joins CCA students on stage for Feb. 25 gala
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KAREN BILLING The Canyon Crest Academy Foundation invites the community to be its guests for its annual gala, “Rendezvous in Paris,” on Saturday, Feb. 25. Attendees can expect to be dazzled by performances from Tony-award nominated performer Susan Egan, Broadway’s original Belle in “Beauty and the Beast” and the longest-running Millie in “Thoroughly Modern Millie,” accompanied by 50 talented CCA students. Students auditioned to perform with Egan, who is also directing and producing the show. This year’s gala, co-chaired by CCA Foundation board members Susan Jentzsch and Kimberly McSherry, starts at 5 p.m. with a dinner catered by Ranch Catering in the school’s learning commons. After dinner, the curtain rises for the show at 7 p.m. with solos from Egan, solos from students and group numbers of recognizable Broadway hits from shows such as “Beauty and the Beast,” “Wicked,” “Hairspray,” “Little Shop of Horrors” and some Disney selections. As an extra for the gala, a VIP after-party will be held at Dolce in the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch featuring champagne and signature cocktails and desserts with Egan. The annual gala is the biggest fundraiser of the year for the foundation, which collects donations to fund arts, engineering, technology, the science and humanities, college and career

counseling, and athletic programs. “We are raising money this year for the ‘Big Ideas,’” said Joanne Couvrette, the executive director of the foundation. To determine the “Big Ideas,” CCA Principal Brett Killeen sent out an online survey to students and parents to ask what they wanted to see at the school that would benefit all students. Couvrette said there seemed to be universal agreement that technology is big piece of what parents and students would like to see — in the form of new Chromebooks. Other Big Ideas include enhanced learning
environments such as innovative, flexible and collaborative furniture for the new Building B, the new 14-classroom building now under construction that should be ready in the fall; as well as bringing in more outside experts as guest artists and providing student leadership seminars from UC San Diego’s Rady School of Management. For the last three years, the foundation’s gala is held on campus at CCA instead of at a hotel or event venue in order to keep expenses low and enrichment high. Prior to holding the event on campus, the most the galas brought

in was $34,000. By hosting events at the school they’ve been able to bring in $80,000 to $125,000. “I think the model is better,” Couvrette said of using the school’s own “incredible” 400-seat theater as the venue. “And we also decided to let the mission statement of the foundation guide the gala: ‘To enrich the experience of every student, every day.’ We were looking for an enrichment experience for our students and they will be able to put on their college application that they performed with a Broadway performer and learned from her.” Student Gaby Jentzsch, who
auditioned and was accepted into the show, said she is very excited to be able to work with Egan. “I will be able to participate in a performance with one of my biggest role models,” Gaby said. “I can't wait to meet her and learn about the business from someone who has lived ‘the business.’ I appreciate her willingness to spend time with us to create a show we can all be proud of.” Tickets for the dinner and show are $90, the VIP seating and after-party tickets are $125.

Poseidon restaurant continues to offer top cuisine in a spectacular location BY KELLEY CARLSON After nearly 40 years in business, Poseidon restaurant in Del Mar still reigns as a major force in the North County restaurant scene. The beachside establishment regularly draws the attention of diners, luring them with fresh seafood and million-dollar views from nearly every seat in the house. “No other restaurants have an ocean beach view like Poseidon,” Executive Chef Mourad Jamal touted. Ironically, when owner Tom Ranglas Sr. was first scouting locations for an eatery in 1968, he was searching in the valley of El Cajon — an area known as “The Big Box.” When Ranglas found that he couldn’t afford the high property rates there, a real estate agent took him outside “the Box” to show him a prospect in Del Mar — the Fire Pit restaurant. Ranglas acquired the needed funds, took over the establishment, and it remained the Fire Pit until it was damaged by a large storm in 1977. After repairs were made, Ranglas changed the eatery’s name to Poseidon, in honor of the Greek god of the sea. In Poseidon’s early days, the décor was SoCal casual, which some described as “funky,” with formica-topped tables and tile floors. But the restaurant underwent a renovation in the mid-2000s, and it was transformed into a dining destination with

casual-elegant beach ambience. Blue-gray, brown, beige and cream are the predominant colors, representing water and sand, and Grecian design influences can be observed throughout the property. There are inside and outside patios, where guests can soak up the sun. And of course, there’s still a fire pit. The Ranglases continue to own and operate Poseidon, and Jamal notes that they treat everyone like family — staff and guests alike. “They’re the reason I’m still there,” said the chef, who has been with the restaurant since 2009.
Tryouts for Players born in the years 2003 - 2007 will be held in February, 2017 Details can be found on the Attack website
Jamal presents a sustainable menu with an emphasis on seafood. For example, he uses organic Scottish salmon for carpaccio; in salads; and in the signature Pistachio Crusted Loch Etive Salmon, which is served with roasted peewee potatoes, sautéed zucchini and citrus-pomegranate beurre blanc sauce. Another of his featured entrees is the Pan Seared Chilean Sea Bass, caught in various locations depending on the season. Jamal prepares it with a lemon pepper crust, truffle celery silk, heirloom cherry tomatoes, edamame and lemongrass beurre blanc sauce. Other prominent items include the Citrus Marinated Ceviche; Our Famous Clam Chowder with chunks of potato, served with crackers; and an array of meats, pastas and produce. Jamal also showcases his culinary skills
through prix fixe menus. The Chef’s Inspiration Menu is composed of an appetizer, entree and dessert, and ranges from $40 to $50. For Valentine’s Day, guests can be treated to a four-course meal and a glass of wine or champagne for $65. Patrons seeking more casual cuisine can take advantage of happy hour specials from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. There are eight appetizers for $8, including Jamal’s favorite, the Pojo Burger. Larger than the typical small dish, the half-pound Angus patty is on a brioche bun, topped with sautéed mushrooms, onions, chopped bacon, and melted jack and cheddar cheeses, with a side of pickles and fries. Mini tacos are in the spotlight from 3 p.m. to close Mondays and Thursdays. Diners can order them stuffed with crispy calamari, pulled chipotle pork, island jerk rubbed chicken, beef tenderloin filet or the traditional Baja-style filling for $3 each. On weekends, Poseidon expands its offerings to include brunch. From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., customers can satisfy breakfast cravings with benedicts, omelettes, and Steak and Eggs, or opt for lunch-type fare that includes sandwiches, burgers, and dishes such as Sesame Crusted Mahi-Mahi Stir Fry, Beef Short Ribs Quesadilla and the Roasted Cauliflower Platter. Poseidon — at 1670 Coast Blvd. — is open from 11 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 9 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.

La Jolla Playhouse stages ‘Freaky Friday’ — the musical
JIM SAAH
The cast of ‘Freaky Friday’ at La Jolla Playhouse
MARGOT SCHULMAN
Emma Hunton as Ellie (left) and Heidi Blickenstaff as Katherine in Signature Theatre’s production of ‘Freaky Friday.’
BY DIANA SAENGER Reflecting upon his 10-year anniversary as Artistic Director at La Jolla Playhouse, Christopher Ashley said he’s excited to bring “Freaky Friday,” as a musical to its stage this winter. Many may recall the well-received film versions of the story. Ashley pointed out that he’s had a long history with “Freaky Friday.” Fresh out of college at age 22, his first job was directing a children’s theater version. It was 50 minutes long with a score, and written by Mary Rodgers, who wrote the original book. “I was talking to Disney about several productions and they mentioned this one,” Ashley said. “It’s a great story for a musical, and I told them I wanted to work on it. After 30 years, it’s a surreal experience to come back to. When I was 22, I totally related to the daughter, and now I can completely see the show through the lens of the mother.” Rodgers’ novel, “Freaky Friday,” opened up the genre of body-switching themes. Two movies of the story starred Jodie Foster and Barbara Harris in 1976, and Jamie Lee Curtis and Lindsay Lohan in 2003. “The creative team — the writers, me and choreographer Sergio Trujillo (“Memphis,” “Jersey Boys”) — revamped several songs and rewrote five or six different scenes, so there’s some real changes,” Ashley said. “It’s a joy working
on a new material with book by Bridget Carpenter (TV’s “Friday Night Lights,” “Parenthood”); music and lyrics by the Tony Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning team of Tom Kitt and Brian Yorkey, and design team lighting designer Howell Binkley who has done 40 shows at the Playhouse and won the Tony Award last year for ‘Hamilton.’ ” Casting was done by Ashley, who said he was thrilled to get Heidi Blickenstaff (Broadway’s “Something Rotten”) as the mother, and Emma Hunton (Broadway’s “Spring Awakening,” “Next to Normal”) as the daughter. “These two dynamo actresses have given electric, new life to their iconic characters,” he said. “I can’t wait for San Diego audiences to experience their thoroughly engaging performances in this joyous new musical. It’s a real pleasure to tell this story at this moment in a world so divided and confrontational. It’s all about a mother and daughter conflict at the beginning of the show, wishing the other would understand what she goes through and walk a day in her shoes. It’s a great time for this show.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Freaky Friday” runs Jan. 31-March 12, in the Mandell Weiss Theatre at La Jolla Playhouse, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive, on UCSD campus.

Village Viewpoints to present ‘The Ballerina of Auschwitz’ at Feb. 12 event in RSF “The Ballerina of Auschwitz,” Dr. Edith Eva Eger, will be the guest speaker at the Feb. 12 Village Viewpoints event at the Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe. Eger was taken to Auschwitz when she was 16, one of three Hungarian Jewish daughters. Her father was a tailor and her mother a civil servant and they lived in a small town in what is modern day Slovakia. In March 1944, late in World War II, Hungarian Nazis came to her house and arrested her family. The Jews in Hungary were among the last of Europe’s Jewish communities to be targeted by the Nazis. The family was taken to other internment centers before they were finally loaded into a train and shipped to the Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland, occupied by Nazi Germany. Upon arriving at Auschwitz, Dr. Josef Mengele, a top medical officer “stood at the end of a line of prisoners deciding who would go to the gas chambers and who would head for the prison barracks.” Edith was pulled aside by Mengele and not allowed to follow her mother. Her parents died in the gas chambers of Auschwitz along with more than a million other Jews. This would not be her final encounter with the infamous SS doctor who later became known as the “Angel of Death.” “Dr. Mengele came to the barracks and

wanted to be entertained,” Eger says. Fellow inmates “volunteered” Eger to perform for the man who had ordered her parents’ death. The talented Edith entertained Dr. Josef Mengele, the “Angel of Death,” with private ballet presentations and, in return, she got a piece of bread and more time to live. “I did what the victims of violence often do: I dissociated.” American soldiers liberated her in Austria in 1945. Now Eger helps others heal, saying, “I want to have a full life, not to be damaged goods,” SEE EGER, B15

The Hazards of Binge Exercising after the Holidays January is filled with people resolving to live a healthier, more active lifestyle. In fact, many gyms make most of their money between January and February on new memberships (and often see a 40%-80% drop in attendance by March). Frequently, though, people are so preoccupied with numbers and sizes—dropping those 5-15 holiday pounds, for example—that they only focus on shortterm results for what really should be a longterm solution. The truth is that fitness is a lifestyle and not something that should be a binge activity. Why? Binge exercising can actually be harmful to your vein and heart health. Other hazards of
binge exercising are an increased chance of sustaining injury, especially when coming off a stretch of inactivity. Does this sound familiar? You resolve to get in shape, so you join a fitness boot camp. They have a plan that gives you some kind of rebate if you lose a certain amount of weight in the first week. You are pushed to binge exercise (and binge diet). The problem? Sudden bursts of extended (binge) exercising are hard on your muscles, which haven’t been trained slowly to be in shape. The same problem is true for people who set a goal to run a marathon for the first time. You don’t become a marathon runner to get in shape; you have to train slowly, over a period of time, to build up to becoming a marathon runner. You can’t binge exercise over a few months to get in shape and be healthy. Binge exercising is like overdosing on exercise. A lot of scientific research has been conducted on the effects of binge exercising on health because of the recent trends in boot camps and marathon and triathlon participation. For most people, workouts should be low impact and should not last for more than 45 minutes at a time in order to be the most
effective with the fewest health hazards. Cardiovascular activity improves the oxygenation in your blood, your body’s ability to detoxify, your endorphin levels, and can boost your immune system, all while getting your heart to pump more efficiently through your cardiovascular system. However, binge exercising—heavy activity sustained for considerably more than 45 minutes, not only decreases the rates of these benefits but can actually do harm to your body. For one thing, binge exercising can cause your body to break down your tissues, also known as going into a catabolic state. Your immune system may be weakened, in part because of the release of excessive cortisol, which in some cases can lead to chronic disease. Sustained binge exercising can lead to microscopic tears in your muscles, which won’t heal if binge exercising continues. And working out too late in the day and for too long can lead to insomnia. But the greatest potential threat of binge exercising is the effect it can have on your heart’s health. Remember, the heart is a muscle as well as the center of your vascular system.
Overtraining for activities such as marathons or triathlons can put the heart under extremely high stress. Endurance runners experience greater scarring on the heart tissue (this is especially acute for middleaged men). Part of the reason for this is that extensive cardiovascular exercise causes high oxidative stress, as well as inflammation—and all of these can potentially trigger cardiac arrest. Recent extensive research even shows notably higher instances in endurance runners of calcified plaque in their arteries, as well as more detectable scar tissue on their heart muscles and decreased right ventricular systolic function. When the heart is repeatedly damaged, the muscle tissue experiences inflammation, which causes the plaque formation in order to plaster the inflamed arteries as protection. That is why recovery time is so important. Cardio exercise is ideal for healthy circulation and heart function, but in moderation. Your muscles and vascular system need time to heal properly between workouts, and binge exercising, for beginners and for seasoned athletes, is not the solution, for either the post-holiday regime or for a long-term healthy athletic lifestyle.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property.

The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call (714) 730-2727 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site - www. servicelinkASAP.com - for information regarding the sale of this property, using the file number assigned to this case: 126550. Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. A-4605179 01/19/2017, 01/26/2017, 02/02/2017.

Name that Food: An Interactive Quiz
B
efore going on vacation, my neighbor recently brought a bag of mysterious fruits and vegetables to my home so they wouldn’t go to waste. There were some vibrant pink pitaya or dragon fruits, ruby-fleshed Cara cara oranges, prehistoric-looking Romanesco broccoli, and a pear-shaped piece of produce with shiny, lumpy pale green rind. I’d never seen this variety before, and wasn’t even sure if it was a fruit or a vegetable. Determined to identify this edible odd ball, I went online, but wasn’t able to put a name to its face. A few days later while strolling through the produce aisle of a natural food market, I serendipitously ran into my unnamed gourd. Yes — a chayote squash of Mesoamerican origins and cucumber relative, I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this favorite fruit of Caribbean and Cajun cuisines so I could shred it into a slaw or bake this Vitamin C powerhouse with a pile of savory herbs and onions for a delicious side for wild-caught fish or chicken dishes. Mystery solved, here’s a line-up of both exotic and mainstream fruits and vegetables with their bios and nutritional profiles for you to guess their identities. Good luck! 1. This shriveled, scary-looking citron resembles a Halloween prop of gnarled fingers. It has neither juice, pulp nor seeds, but its Vitamin C-rich rind makes a wonderful zest for flavoring up everything from seafood, chicken, pastas, vinaigrette dressings and compound butters to spirits, simple sugars, scones, pancakes and biscotti. In Eastern cultures it’s not used for culinary purposes, rather to give a refreshing scent to homes, linens and clothing, as well as a lucky charm. Because of my shape I am appropriately named ... ? 2. These delicacies of Eastern Canada and Maine, used by northern French, Native American, Indonesian and Nepalese cooks for centuries as a lively side dish are actually furled fronds of an immature fern. Although harvested in the wild during spring, they can be found frozen year round. This foraged vegetable with a crunchy chew and burst of fresh grassy flavors is packed with a store of nutrients, including heart-healthy omega fatty acids, fiber, body-balancing potassium, and blood boosting iron. The exquisite and intricate shape reminiscent of the ornamental piece at the head of a stringed instrument, earned this vegetable its name ... ? 3. This ambrosia is nicknamed “the ice cream fruit” for its creamy, perfumed pulp. It is typically sliced lengthwise and scooped from its beautiful green rind indented with a reptile-skin-like pattern. A prized tropical treat of Ecuadorian origins, and descendent of the evergreen tree this delectable fruit is packed with anti-oxidants, especially Vitamin C, along with stress-relieving B-6’s, a good sodium to potassium ratio to control blood pressure and maintain a steady heart rate, and a load of essential minerals, including copper, magnesium and iron. Also divine as a topping for ice cream, an
Buttery Fiddleheads ■ Ingredients: • 2 dozen fiddleheads, trimmed, cleaned (fresh or frozen) • Zest and juice from half lemon • 3 tablespoons ghee (clarified) butter • 2 tablespoons white wine • 1 garlic clove, minced ■ Method: In a small saucepan, steam fiddleheads until tender (about 4 minutes). Drain. In a skillet on low, sauté garlic in the butter until soft. Blend wine and lemon, add fiddleheads, coating with the butter mixture. Season to taste. — To share any mysterious fruits and vegetables, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

A licorice doppelganger, this Mediterranean vegetable rife with essential oils has been used throughout history for a variety of culinary and medicinal purposes. Shaved raw in salads, tossed in pastas, cioppinos, soups, stews, risottos, or braised or baked au gratin with a zesty Parmesan-lemon crust, this bulbous plant also relieves assorted digestive and respiratory ails and anemia, along with protecting the eyes from inflammation and age-related disorders. Used in teas and flavoring mints, toothpastes and a green-tinted spirit called absinthe, cheers to ... ? 5. On the culinary radar of top chefs coast-to-coast this gnarly tuber and member of the sunflower family is commonly known by two names — one with an old Israeli city in its nomenclature. The presence of an inert carb called inulin has also earned it the moniker, “potato for diabetics.” Enjoy these North American beauties year round for their delicate nutty flavor and silky texture.
