Lifestyle

BY KAREN BILLING While the earth has already been moving at the One Paseo site since late December, Kilroy Realty held an official groundbreaking ceremony Jan. 25 for what was lauded as a “transformative” mixed-use project for San Diego. San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer was there to celebrate the culmination of very long process and the developer’s willingness to engage with the community. “This is going to be a remarkable project, let’s get a shovel in the ground,” Faulconer said before silver One Paseo shovels dug into some ceremonial dirt. One Paseo was approved in June 2016 after nearly 10 long years in the making, numerous hearings, public opposition and a referendum effort that created a renewed developer focus on community outreach and scaled-down plans. In its completed

The first retail stores are scheduled to open as early as mid-2018. “What a journey. It wasn’t always smooth and sure as heck wasn’t short

but in the end it was productive. We listened to the community, we gathered ideas, we redefined the thinking for One Paseo,” said Nelson Ackerly, senior vice president of Kilroy. “Thank you to the many, many residents of this great community that came out to what must have felt like endless meetings to contribute, to support One Paseo and also those residents who weren’t initially supportive but channeled their concerns into constructive feedback and created what is what going to be one of the great projects in San Diego.” Jamas Gwilliam, a vice president of Kilroy, led the community outreach effort when Kilroy went back to the drawing table to redesign the project after the referendum effort in 2015. Janie Emerson, president of the East Bluff Community Association, one of three community groups that filed a lawsuit against Kilroy over the project, said the neighbors were pleased with the collaboration that occurred between Kilroy and the community — they even got to help pick out the SEE PASEO, A22

BY JOE TASH The city of Solana Beach has reached agreement on a new, two-year contract with its firefighters union, which provides increases in salaries and benefits, but also calls for some of the city's firefighters to pay a larger share of pension costs. The City Council unanimously approved the agreement at its meeting on Wednesday, Jan. 25. The Solana Beach Firefighters Association, which represents the city's 18 firefighters, had previously approved the agreement, said Dan King, assistant city manager. According to a staff report, negotiations on the new contract began in March 2016. The agreement runs from July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2018. However, the salary increase contained in the first year of the contract is not retroactive, but instead was set to take effect on Friday, Jan. 27. Under the new contract, firefighters will receive a 1.5 percent salary increase for the first year, and a 4.5 percent

Firefighters hired before 2013 will pick up 3 percent of the city's current pension contribution, which, along with their current 9 percent contribution, will bring their total pension contribution to 12 percent, King said. Firefighters hired after Jan. 1, 2013 are already paying a higher percentage of their pension costs, SEE FIREFIGHTERS, A21

DMUSD to adopt new English Language Arts materials BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District is in the process of bringing in new materials for its English Language Arts curriculum — the district is looking to adopt McGraw Hill Wonders for kindergarten through sixth grade and Study Sync for sixth grade, a more digital program. The current program was adopted in 2003 and there is a need for new materials to better align with the Common Core State Standards, according to Vivian Firestone from the district’s instructional services department. At the board’s Jan. 25 meeting, held in the board’s new meeting room at the district office, Firestone reported that the instructional services department team has been reviewing materials since January 2016 and honed in on five publishers they believed would be the best match. The team

Del Mar Schools Education Foundation fundraising up Del Mar Schools Education Foundation President Ty Humes reported to the Del Mar Union School District board Jan. 25 that the foundation has raised $632,000 so far this school year, $8,000 ahead of where they were last year. Carmel Del Mar School leads the way with participation as 69 percent of school families have contributed. The foundation supports specialists in the district’s interdisciplinary STEAM+ curriculum of science, technology,

engineering, arts, math and physical education. Humes said corporate contributions are also trending upward and the foundation expects to receive more than $8,000 from the Pardee Homes Carmel Valley 5K, which was held on Jan. 22. “We are extremely confident we will make and surpass last year’s numbers,” Humes said of last year’s $1.28 million contribution. - Reported by Karen Billing

New County Supervisor Kristin Gaspar jumps right into the fray BY JOE TASH As the newest member of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, Kristin Gaspar quickly found herself in a high-pressure situation. At her first meeting on Jan. 10, she cast the lone “no” vote on a 12.5 percent raise for herself and her board colleagues, as about two dozen people spoke against the measure. Gaspar, who made the jump to the county board from Encinitas, where she served as mayor, had only been sworn into her new position the previous day. But as she sat on the board dais and prepared to cast her vote, putting her in opposition to her new colleagues on her first full day in office, she said she did not feel overwhelmed. “Encinitas has many controversial issues. I felt a little bit like I was back at home. It’s an environment I feel comfortable operating in,” said Gaspar, whose election win over former Supervisor Dave Roberts, himself an ex-mayor of Solana Beach and a Democrat, put the Board of Supervisors back in all-Republican hands. As Gaspar explained at the Jan. 10 board meeting, having been in office for less than 24 hours, she did not feel like she could properly evaluate whether the raise was justified. “It’s a tough thing to do,” she said of voting against all four of her fellow board members. “It’s not necessarily how you’d like to cast your first vote. I tried the best I could to explain the reasons I couldn’t

support the raise.” Even her electoral victory wasn’t without tension - Roberts led in the tally immediately following the election, but as absentee and provisional ballots were counted, Gaspar’s vote total increased. Ultimately, she won by 1,272 votes, out of a total of 229,318 cast. As only the second new member of the Board of Kristin Supervisors in two decades, Gaspar Gaspar’s learning curve will be steep. Over the next four years, all four of her board colleagues - Dianne Jacob, Greg Cox, Ron Roberts and Bill Horn - will be termed out, meaning that by 2020, four new members will join the panel, making Gaspar the senior member if she is re-elected for a second term. “It’s a big change and we have to be ready for it,” said Gaspar. But she noted that she also experienced similar changeover in Encinitas when veteran members left the council after her first term. During the campaign, Gaspar highlighted dealing with homelessness and mental health as among her key issues, and she said they will be a big focus of her upcoming term on the Board of Supervisors. On her first day, she met with San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer to discuss homeless issues. SEE GASPAR, A21

Stop sign requested for safety on Carmel View Road BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board will consider a request for a new stop sign proposed for Carmel View Road and Caminito Mira Del Mar. The intersection is located just past Carmel Grove Park, at the entrance to the Sunstream community. Niveen Farmer, a Carmel Valley resident for 13 years, said she has a petition with over 90 signatures requesting action be taken. The residents first made the request to the city, who came out last year but determined that the intersection did not meet the requirements for a four-way stop. “Every day I witness some kind of incident,” said Farmer, who will no longer allow her 9-year-old to attempt to cross at the intersection when

Residents say a stop sign is needed at this blind exit to the Sunstream community on Carmel View Road. walking to school. “It’s extremely dangerous and a safety concern. There’s been too many close calls and it’s a nightmare waiting to happen.” Farmer said she doesn’t want to see what happened at Del Mar Trails in April 2015, when a pedestrian was struck by a car and killed less than a mile away.

KAREN BILLING

Currently there are stop signs on Caminito Mira Del Mar, but none to slow the cars traveling on Carmel View Road. Neighbors said it can be dangerous pulling out of the Sunstream community as there is blind spot due to a curve in the road. The stop sign will be on the agenda for the board’s Feb. 23 meeting.

Blood drive to be held in Carmel Valley

The San Diego Blood Bank will accept blood donations at St. Therese of Carmel in Carmel Valley on Sunday, Feb. 5, from 7:30 a.m.-1 p.m.. The drive will be held at 4343 Del Mar Trails Road, San Diego, 92130 in the parking lot. About 1 in 7 people entering a hospital need blood. One pint of blood, which is the amount volunteers give when they donate blood, can save up

to three lives. Approximately, 38 percent of the U.S. population is eligible to donate blood but less than 10 percent do annually. Since blood is always needed, volunteers are asked to give blood for patients, such as those going through cancer or trauma. Donors must meet the following eligibility requirements: 17 and older (Age 16 requires a parental consent); 114 pounds and in good health.

It is recommended that donors consume an adequate meal and plenty of fluids prior to giving. A photo identification must be presented upon signing up to donate. Donors are encouraged to schedule an appointment for their convenience but walk-ins are also welcome. To schedule an appointment, call 619-469-7322 or visit www.SanDiegoBloodBank.org.

Prostate Center of San Diego opens in La Jolla BY ASHLEY MACKIN To bring new options to the realm of prostate cancer, The Prostate Center of San Diego is now open in La Jolla, James and offers an Cooper alternative treatment not used for prostate cancer anywhere else in the United States. The facility is located at 4120 La Jolla Village Drive, within the Michael Outpatient Surgical Stehling Center of La Jolla. The Center – with local physicians Dr. Ross Schwartzberg and Dr. James Cooper – uses a procedure known as irreversible Roos Schwartzberg electroporation (IRE) or

NanoKnife, which was adapted for the treatment of prostate cancer by Dr. Michael Stehling of the Prostata Center in Offenbach, Germany. “IRE is not offered anywhere in San Diego for prostate cancer. It is used in the United States, usually at the larger cancer centers, but it’s mostly being used for other solid organs such as the kidneys or liver or pancreas,” said Cooper. “But it’s not being used for prostate cancer anywhere that I’m aware of.” Schwartzberg and Cooper are radiologists with expertise in prostate imaging that have successfully performed thousands of diagnostic and therapeutic image-guided procedures. The two became credentialed to be able to do the procedure last fall. “The system uses a minimum of two electrodes that create a small electric field in the gland. It surrounds the cancer cell and we turn on the probe to create and electric field that actually changes the membrane potential of the cell and kills it, but just that cell,”

ASHLEY MACKIN

The Prostate Center of San Diego is located at 4120 La Jolla Village Drive, within the Outpatient Surgical Center of La Jolla. Cooper said. “The kill-zone is just that area and maybe a few millimeters around it, but that’s it. The collateral damage of surrounding structures – most importantly the nerves and vessels – is minimal to zero, depending on where the cancer is. If it is right in the middle of the gland, there is almost no side effect, if it is closer to the edge where the nerves are, the risk gets a little higher, but nowhere near as high as other therapies.” According to press material, this

results in far fewer side effects and a much faster recovery time. In most cases, patients are back on their feet the next day. “Prostate cancer is a little different than other cancers because, fortunately, it tends to be more benign than not. The big challenge is finding the ones that are going to be a risk to the patient. More often than not, a patient will die with the cancer (from old age or something else) than from the cancer,” Copper said.

He explained when diagnosing the cancer, physicians assign the cancer a number, known as the Gleason Score, from 2-10. With 2 being benign and 10 being the worst. “Most people now think 6 or below either doesn’t need to be treated or can be watched,” he said. So when it comes to treatment, conventionally used therapies can be seen as extreme. “For decades, available treatments have been to do nothing, a complete removal of SEE PROSTATE, A22

Del Mar homebuilder’s Oaks Farms project named ‘Nation’s Best New Community’ BY STACEY PHILLIPS Amid rolling hills and large oak trees sits a world-class equestrian center in the upscale community of Oaks Farms. During a typical day, you’ll find horse trainers and riders on the 20-acre property located in San Juan Capistrano. Developed by the Del-Mar based homebuilder Davidson Communities, Oaks Farms has been the recipient of multiple awards. In January, it was named the nation’s Best New Community by the National Association of Home Builders. The Oaks Farms also received top honors for Best Landscaping and Best Interior Merchandising. “I’m honored and delighted, but most of all so pleased for the team who worked so hard and so well together to make this happen,” said Bill Davidson, president of Davidson Communities. “The Oaks was literally a once-in-a-lifetime project.” Thirty-two single-family homes, currently under construction in the gated community, feature open floor plans and indoor/outdoor living. The architecture is a combination of Farmhouse Modern and Adobe-Ranch. The Oaks Farms was also recognized as North America’s Project of the Year at the Pacific

Owner of North County Dance Arts shares lessons from working with Debbie Reynolds BY STACEY PHILLIPS When Louis McKay was 12 years old, a neighbor heard him singing in his backyard. She happened to be a pianist in the orchestra at the Starlight Theatre in San Diego and invited him to audition for the lead role in Oliver Twist. Soon after, McKay landed the role of Oliver. That experience was the beginning of an extraordinary musical career, which included being a lead singer, dancer and choreographer for the Debbie Reynolds Show. During the eight and a half years he was part of the show, McKay developed a close relationship with Debbie Reynolds that continued until the leading lady died on Dec. 28, 2016. McKay’s love of dance carried over into the studios he owned over the years, including North County Dance Arts in Carmel Valley, which he currently runs with his wife Tanya, a classically-trained ballerina. North County Dance Arts has been in business in San Diego County since 1981, beginning in a small studio in Solana Beach off the Coast Highway. The studio provides all levels of dance instruction from beginning to professional. It was voted “Best Dance Studio” in San Diego County for 36 years. McKay said he

Before hiring new teachers, McKay said he invites them to come and teach. “I make sure the teachers know how to break down the steps and have a great rapport with the kids,” said

McKay. McKay said the studio focuses on technique, terminology, and discipline in a nurturing environment. They take a sincere interest in all their students, encouraging and inspiring them in their love of dance. “When people come to the studio they feel appreciated, they feel liked and part of a family,” said McKay. “They tell us, ‘This is our home-away-from-home.’” Over the years, McKay learned many life lessons from Reynolds, which he now passes on to his own students at the studio. “You want

to teach the kids to respect each other and most of all to respect themselves,” said McKay. “That’s our goal.” Much of what he instills in his students is from many years of being a part of musical theater and the Debbie Reynolds Show. Following his performance in Oliver Twist, McKay joined a musical theater group called the Bright Side, which he was part of until he was 20 years old. He said that his father, a singer with the San Diego Opera, and mother, a lyrical soprano, were very supportive of his talents.

His father encouraged him to follow his dreams of becoming a professional singer and dancer. After borrowing $600, he helped McKay move to Los Angeles and get settled in a studio apartment in Hollywood. McKay began taking dance classes there. A friend in his tap class, Pat Rico, who was known for the movie “Tap,” encouraged McKay to audition for the Debbie Reynolds Show. McKay recalled Rico telling him the audition was 11 blocks away and started in a half hour. With a change of clothes as well as his tap and jazz shoes in hand, he ran to the audition. He soon realized that he had headed in the wrong direction. “I took off running again,” said McKay. When he arrived, he was told the audition had ended. After Reynold’s assistant heard his story, she talked to Reynolds about watching one more audition. When they asked what he wanted to sing, he replied that he was unprepared and had just found out about the audition a half hour earlier. They asked if he knew the lyrics to the Oliver Twist song, “Who Will Buy.” It happened to be one of his favorites from his first performance eight years earlier. McKay, just 20 years old, was hired as a back-up dancer and SEE DEBBIE, A20

Author tells of jihad, conquest and priceless manuscripts BY JOE TASH In 2012, under the radar of many Western countries, armed jihadis - some affiliated with Al Qaeda - took over a large swath of Mali, which borders Algeria and Mauritania in northern Africa. Along with its toll on the country’s residents, the terrorist occupation of Mali also put at risk a valuable historical resource - hundreds of thousands of precious, handwritten and illuminated manuscripts, containing ancient wisdom on all manner of subjects, from religion to science to art. The jihadis, who were known to destroy ancient temples and artifacts, threatened at one point in the occupation to burn the manuscripts. Determined to protect the manuscripts of Timbuktu, one of Mali’s major cities, a group of librarians and literature lovers risked their lives to protect the hand-written tomes, smuggling them out of the repositories where they resided and secreting them in trunks and foot-lockers in a series of safe-houses. In one particularly hazardous operation, the rescuers transported the trunks in small boats on the Niger River. The story of how the manuscripts were saved from destruction at the hands of terrorists is detailed in “The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu,” by Joshua Hammer, who was the featured speaker at the January meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society, held at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar. The book was published by Simon & Schuster in 2016. In the book’s prologue, Hammer describes how a young librarian was accosted by armed jihadis at a checkpoint, his four-wheel drive filled with precious cargo: “He cast a glance at

There, covered with blankets, lay five padlocked steamer trunks, each one filled with treasure: hundreds of illuminated manuscripts, including some from the 15th and 16th centuries, the Golden Age of Timbuktu. Encased in goatskin covers with inlaid semiprecious stones, they were gorgeous works composed by the most skillful scribes of the era, fragile pages covered with dense calligraphy and complex geometrical designs in a multitude of colors. Al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb, the terrorist group that had seized the north of the country four months earlier, had several times vowed on television and radio to respect them, but few in the city believed their promises. The extremists had declared jihad against anyone and anything that challenged their

vision of a pure Islamic society, and these artifacts - treatises about logic, astrology, and medicine, paeans to music, poems idealizing romantic love - represented 500 years of human joy. They celebrated the sensual and the secular, and they bore the explicit message that humanity, as well as God, was capable of creating beauty. They were monumentally subversive. And there were thousands of manuscripts just like these hidden in safe houses in Timbuktu.” Hammer, a former Newsweek bureau chief for Africa, who now writes as a freelancer for Smithsonian and Outside magazines, said he first learned of the manuscripts of Timbuktu while researching an article in the mid-2000s. Over the years, he kept in touch with Abdel

Kader Haidara, the architect of the manuscript rescue effort, and he returned to Mali in 2013 as the French Army drove out the terrorists. The book, along with providing fascinating details about the manuscripts and the rescue operation, also provides a portrait of three central jihadist leaders. “I felt people would want to know a bit about these guys,” said Hammer in an interview before his talk at the literary society. While many of the terrorists met with violent ends, some survived to go on and fight with ISIS, Hammer said. “After they were driven out by the French, they made it to the next jihad hot spot,” he said. The manuscripts remain in Bamako, in southern Mali, the country’s capital, said Hammer, while Mali’s once thriving tourist trade has dried up to “zero.” In the book, Hammer also conveyed his appreciation for the local culture, including desert blues music festivals that once drew such rock luminaries as Led Zeppelin’s Robert Plant and U2’s Bono. “Mali, of all those countries in the Sahel (region of Africa) does seem to be this hotbed of art and music and literature, and it’s been that way for 600 years or longer,” he said. Hammer, who lives in Berlin with his family, is now thinking about his next book, which may be set in America, and has also been approached by a London-based film producer who wants to make a docu-drama about “The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu.” “I think it’s doable,” he said of the film project. Hammer’s book, “The Bad-Ass Librarians of Timbuktu,” is available on amazon.com.

Harbaugh Foundation continues support for vets Naturalist Donations from the locally-based George & Betty Harbaugh Charitable Foundation continue to make a difference in the region. For the third year in a row the Harbaugh Foundation funded Patriots’ Outpost at the Farmers Insurance Open at Torrey Pines, held last week, giving back to military men and women. Patriots’ Outpost is a private chalet located on the 13th hole of the popular PGA tour stop made exclusively available to veterans and active duty servicemen and women. Last year Patriots’ Outpost hosted nearly 2,000 active military and veterans, and provided lunch, refreshments and a spectacular and up-close viewing outpost for all in attendance. Patriots’ Outpost had a special visitor this year on Friday, Jan. 27. Eventual winner Jon Rahm stopped by to pay his respects to the 250 active duty, retired military and wounded warriors camped out there for an early look at the golfers. He was so impressed to see the freedom fighters being given such close access to the tournament that he stopped and went inside. Rahm was immediately swarmed by his fans in the Patriots’ Outpost chalet. He stayed for half an hour, signing autographs and posing for photos. As he left he gave all 250 in attendance a TaylorMade golf hat (his sponsor) and thanked them for their

service to this country. This year the Harbaugh Foundation also introduced a $10,000 scholarship titled the “Harbaugh Patriot Award,” which will be given annually to a deserving Navy SEAL. The scholarship will cover tuition to the Honor Foundation - a unique transition readiness institute created exclusively for Navy SEALs and the U.S. Special Operations community as they transition from military to civilian life. The recipient this year is Brandon Myers, a Navy SEAL-in-training who suffered a debilitating injury on the obstacle course during training last year that nearly claimed his life. Myers also served as the 2017 Ambassador during the tournament at the Harbaugh Foundation Patriots’ Outpost. In addition to the scholarship,

Myers, as well as the Farmers Open tournament champion, Rahm, received a rugged RESCO timepiece that has become synonymous with Navy SEALS. The watch was designed and tested by Navy SEALS and is currently worn by more than 100 of these elite warriors in the day-to-day execution of their duties. “Sponsoring Patriots’ Outpost and creating the Harbaugh Patriot Award falls in line with one of the primary objectives of the Harbaugh Foundation, which is to honor and serve our American freedom fighters in any way we are able,” said Joe Balla, director of the George & Betty Harbaugh Charitable Foundation, and a longtime resident of Del Mar and Solana Beach. The Harbaugh Foundation was

created in 2014 to honor George and Betty Harbaugh, who loved San Diego and quietly supported the military their entire lives. Among those benefiting from the Harbaugh Foundation’s gifts are the Jessie Rees Foundation, Easter Seals, Starkey Hearing Foundation, Scripps Health Foundation, the J. Craig Venter Institute and various wounded warrior causes. In 2015 the Harbaugh Foundation donated $1.15 million to save the controversial piece of property bordering San Elijo Lagoon, formerly known as Gateway Park. Now, as Harbaugh Seaside Trails, it will forever be protected as an asset of the people of Solana Beach with wide-open and unobstructed view corridors. More recently the Harbaugh Foundation funded transformation and landscape upgrades (which will soon be revealed) for the popular Carpentier Parkway in Cardiff-by-the-Sea. Balla and the Harbaugh Foundation have worked closely in conjunction with the Cardiff-by-the-Sea Foundation – again with the intent to preserve ecological assets important to the North County community. The George and Betty Harbaugh Charitable Foundation is a 501(c)(3) created in 2014 as a purpose-driven philanthropy committed to impactful giving and the thoughtful advancement of human achievement.

Bry visits local coding school Barbara Bry, the newly elected San Diego City Councilwoman for District 1, is a high-tech serial entrepreneur and is a strong advocate for increased technical education for children. She is vitally interested in STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) education, especially for girls and underserved youth throughout the city of San Diego. She recently visited The League Of Amazing Programmers at its new Carmel Valley classroom. The League is a nonprofit, public benefit institution that offers a long-term after-school coding program for middle/high-school kids that leads to professional Java programming certification. Students progress through a 10-level, graded curriculum, which is UCSD Extension accredited. Students receive UCSD Extension transcripts and certificates for each League level successfully completed. Computer Science AP exam preparation is part of the League curriculum with students normally taking the exam in the eighth or ninth grade. The youngest student to pass the CS AP exam so far was in the sixth grade. Students take the Oracle Professional Certification Examination in the 11th or 12th grade. With Oracle professional certification students are prepared to enter the workforce directly, without college, as computer programmers in highly compensated and extremely satisfying careers.

COURTESY

Dillon Powell shows off his programming skills to Council member Barbara Bry. An acute shortage of computer programmers exists in the U.S. today. It is estimated that 1 million programmers will be needed over the next 10 years in this country. U.S. schools are not graduating sufficient numbers of qualified programmers to fill the need. This shortfall has resulted in very lucrative salaries and benefits. In Silicon Valley, The Economist states that, “…entry-level engineers can easily earn $120,000 a year…” Bry

spoke briefly to League students during her visit and encouraged them to complete their computer training and come back to live and work in San Diego where the weather is nice and where there are an abundance of computer programming jobs. As an outreach to kids in underserved communities within San Diego, the League operates campuses at the San Diego Central Library and at the Malcolm X Library. Full scholarships are available for any students attending Title 1 schools. Forty percent of League students are girls and students from underserved communities. League students meet weekly for 90 minutes and are taught by Java professionals who volunteer their time to pass the secrets of the trade on to their students in a small class setting. Classes stay together for the duration of the five-year program resulting in strong, professional relationships with their teachers as mentors and guides. Classes move as fast or as slow as is comfortable for the group. As a prerequisite for the continuing classes, interested students attend a week-long workshop. Check the workshop schedule at www.jointheleague.org for more information. Financial aid is available. - Submitted by Vic Wintriss, executive director of The League Of Amazing Programmers

Scripps physician co-writes book on reconstructive facial surgery Salvatore J. Pacella, M.D., division head of plastic and reconstructive surgery at Scripps Clinic and Scripps Green Hospital, has co-written a textbook detailing the latest advances in facial reconstruction after skin cancer. The book, “Aesthetic Facial Reconstruction After Mohs Surgery,” includes a chapter written by Hubert Greenway, M.D., chairman of Mohs and dermatologic surgery at Scripps Clinic. The textbook is a comprehensive guide Salvatore J. on the repair of soft tissue defects of the Pacella, M.D. face after Mohs surgery. Mohs surgery is regarded as the most effective treatment for most types of skin cancer. “Being diagnosed with skin cancer can be a devastating experience for anyone. Of course you want to have the cancer removed but you also want to be satisfied with all the results. This includes repairing all aspects of the face with minimal scarring,” Pacella said. “This book focuses on the latest advances in plastic surgery that minimize scarring so that it can be barely perceptible.” Pacella provided more than 30 hand-drawn illustrations for the book, which contains more than 700 photographs and comes with a five-hour instructional video. Pacella, a Carmel Valley resident, is an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery and is on the board of the Scripps Clinic Medical Group. He also volunteers with Fresh Start Surgical Gifts, a nonprofit that provides free reconstructive plastic surgery for children with facial deformities. Visit www.scripps.org.

CCA boys basketball team improves to 16-5 overall The Canyon Crest Academy’s boys varsity basketball team chalked up conference wins last week against Sage Creek 56-37 and San Dieguito Academy 67-59. The victories moved the Ravens to 3-1 in league play and second place in the Avocado West Conference, trailing only Torrey Pines who sits on top of the conference at 4-0. A large early lead and a balanced offensive attack carried the Ravens to victory over Sage Creek (9-12) with Ryan Michaels and Tyler Elsom leading the way with 12 and 11 points respectively, while forward MJ Metz pulled down a season high 14 rebounds. Hot shooting aided a motivated San Dieguito Academy (7-15) team to a one point first half lead, but the Ravens found the range in the third quarter and pulled away in the fourth. MJ Metz was strong on both ends of the court with 14 points and 13 rebounds, while Ryan Michaels again

‘Understanding Differences’ at Del Mar Heights

nderstanding Differences is a unique disability awareness program, created by the parents and staff at Del Mar Heights. The program is designed to teach students empathy and understanding through participation in science sessions, simulation exercises and by listening to guest speakers. This year, the program has been completely revamped to include participation by local experts and nonprofits, such as the Braille Institute, Deaf Community Services of San Diego, UCSD School of Medicine, Challenged Athletes Foundation and many others.

On Jan. 27, students learned what it’s like to have a prosthesis. Through a partnership with Challenged Athletes and Peter Harsch Prosthetics, fourth graders at the Heights learned about the Michelangelo prosthetic hand featuring a highly natural design built on incredible technology. They also had the opportunity to play sit-down volleyball with a Paralympic athlete, maneuver through an obstacle course while sitting in a wheelchair and test their dexterity with one-handed shoelace tying.

International Baccalaureate coming to San Dieguito

ne of the most exciting developments in years for the San Dieguito Union High School District is the advent of an International Baccalaureate program at La Costa Canyon High School. Beginning in the fall of 2018, LCC will offer the two-year IB Diploma Programme, starting with 11th-graders and adding on in 2019 to include 12th-graders. That means this year’s current ninth-graders will qualify to participate in LCC’s first IB class. LCC administrators said students can also transfer in, as space allows, from other San Dieguito schools. IB has spread over the last 45 years to more than 130 countries, and as of this year the organization says it has 5,964 programs offered worldwide in 4,583 schools. Four programs are available: the Primary Years Programme for ages 3-12, the Middle Years Programme for ages 11-16, the Diploma Programme for ages 16-19, and the Career-Related Programme for ages 16-19. The Diploma Programme, founded in 1968, is the two-year curriculum for high school students and is the oldest of the four programs. In addition to standard academic material, IB students learn critical thinking, global awareness, community service, intercultural understanding and responsible citizenry.

Through experiential, discovery-based learning, IB students are educated with an international perspective. Founded in 1968 in Geneva, Switzerland, International Baccalaureate is a non-profit organization governed by an elected 17-member board of governors. According to its website [www.ibo.org], the main sources of income are authorization and evaluation fees, workshops and conferences, publications, annual school fees, examination fees, and other fees including donations. IB’s Diploma Programme (DP) includes three core elements: •theory of knowledge (students reflect on the nature of knowledge and on how we know what we claim to know) • extended essay (independent self-directed research, explained in a 4,000-word paper) •creativity, activity, service – or CAS (students complete a project related to those three concepts) “Through the DP core, students reflect on the nature of knowledge, complete independent research and undertake a project that often involves community service,” the website states. The aim is to broaden students’ educational experience and challenge them to apply their knowledge and skills. The extended essay is similar to a dissertation. It’s a research project that students, working with a mentor teacher, will complete in

www.delmartimes.net their junior year, explained Thea Chadwick, LCC English teacher and the school’s IB coordinator. In addition, students take courses in six subject groups: studies in language and literature (critical analysis of literary texts), language acquisition (foreign language), individuals and societies, science, mathematics and the arts. In the category of individuals and societies, approved IB classes include: business management, economics, geography, global politics, history, information technology in a global society, philosophy, psychology, social and cultural anthropology, and world religions. The goal is to have students gain a deep appreciation for human experience and behavior, the history of social and cultural institutions, and the varieties of physical, economic and social environments that people inhabit. Science courses include biology, computer science, chemistry, design technology, physics, and sports, exercise and health science. The arts include dance, music, film, theater and visual arts. Chadwick said not every class will be offered to start with. “We are still working on exactly what courses (within the subject areas) we will initially offer that first year and what we will ‘roll out’ as we progress,” she said. “The plan is to expand course offerings as we move forward in the program.” IB vs. AP The high school Diploma Programme is a major commitment from students. Some describe it as more than a program and more like a lifestyle, due to its high expectations for rigorous academics, emphasis on global citizenry and community service component. Recognized internationally as an exceptional inquiry-based program, IB offers two levels of coursework – standard level and

higher level. Students take at least three (not more than four). subjects at higher level, and the remaining at standard level. The website explains that students are expected to demonstrate a greater body of knowledge, understanding and skills in higher level classes. As with Advanced Placement classes, weighted grades will be offered for IB, in Years 1 and 2 and for both standard and higher level classes. Students can take IB classes and earn the weighted grade without being in the Diploma Programme, and they do not need to fulfill the three Core components. The Core is only required of the IB Diploma candidates. Mike Grove, SDUHSD’s Associate Superintendent of Educational Services, said to graduate with an IB Diploma, students need to take classes in a range of subject areas, not like AP where students can take just one class. IB and AP also differ in their assessments. For IB, multiple assessments are built into the school year, unlike AP which has a single test at the end of the year. “The actual number of [IB] assessments varies by course,” Grove said. “Some have four, some may have three or five. Most of these are embedded within the course, with one summative assessment at the end.” Although many compare IB with AP, they are very different approaches to education. Said one administrator, “AP is built around an exam, and IB is built around a philosophy of learning.” AP classes will continue to be offered at LCC as well. Intensive process LCC principal Bryan Marcus said the change in the bell schedule this year, from six periods to seven, works well for the IB program. He said his teachers (which SEE SUTTON, A20

OUR READERS WRITE Alternative energy sources outside of fossil fuels should be pursued I read with interest Mark Peter’s letter (Jan. 26 issue), “Climate change isn’t a serious problem,” as it provided another view on climate change. It seems to be irrelevant if climate change is happening or not since as a country we should be pursuing alternative energy sources outside of fossil fuels. America should be the leader in demonstrating to the global community our excellence in green fuel energies such as solar

energy, wind power, tide power, etc. These are natural energies with little pollution. In this regard we fall short as other countries are ahead of us. By moving towards green fuel energies, that job sector would grow and become the source for jobs that could be lost with less fossil fuel industry. The end result would be less pollution, better health for people, and greater world stability without the need to trade for fossil fuels. It’s a win-win solution for the citizenry! Mary Jarosz Solana Beach

Science education concerns As a retired physics professor, I am concerned about our science education that may fail to teach our kids the scientific principles, if we let go Mark Peter’s letter (Jan. 26 issue) on climate change without presenting the scientific facts. One simple but important physical law is the principle of causality: the cause and its effect, and yet it is most easily denied, misinterpreted, or ignored. Before the industrial revolution, even the emperor had, at most, a six-horse wagon. SEE LETTERS, A20

FROM SUTTON, A18 currently number 85, not all full-time) are enthused about the program, with many interested in IB training. He said he has hired 13 new teachers this year, some with IB experience from other schools. Chadwick has already progressed in her training, and four other teachers, possibly six, have signed up for training in Houston next month. The hope is that 14 teachers at LCC will complete their IB training in time for the 2018 roll-out. LCC currently has a counselor trained in IB to help students select courses. Grove said an application was submitted to the IB organization last April and was approved in June. LCC is now classified as a candidate and is working on becoming authorized. Becoming an authorized IB school is an intensive process and includes site visits by an IB team and regular evaluations. To be authorized, Marcus said his school is implementing an action plan that includes building capacity among staff and proving that the school has the necessary resources (technology, media center, etc.) to sustain the program. This is similar, he said, to what schools need to do to receive accreditation from WASC (the Western Association of Schools and Colleges). Going through this process to receive IB authorization “has brought our staff closer together,” Marcus said. Other nearby schools with successful IB programs include Ocean Knoll in the Encinitas Union School District and Rancho Buena Vista High School and Vista High School in Vista. Marcus, who is in his third year as principal at LCC, said one catalyst for pursuing the IB program is to increase interest and enrollment at LCC. Changing the bell schedule to allow kids to take more than six classes a year helped, he said. But being the only school in the district to offer a powerful program like IB will, he hopes, provide another strong incentive for students

to select LCC as their school of choice. Marcus is aware of the cultural misperception that LCC is a “jock school” with a focus on sports. He’s working to inform the community that LCC is more than that, that it’s a well-rounded school with strengths in academics and the arts, as well as athletics. He noted that a number of seniors have been accepted to top-ranked universities for this fall, the school now has five sections of theater (up from just two a few years ago), and pep rallies focus on the entirety of the school’s strengths and not just sports. Cost Grove said the district will pay all fees for LCC’s International Baccalaureate program, which break down annually as follows: • $11,000 IB membership fee • $10,000 for ongoing teacher training (more for start-up) •$10,000 for instructional materials •$5,000 for teacher stipends for CAS and Extended Essay •Cost for release time for one period for IB coordinator “We know the actual cost for some of these items, and we’re estimating for some,” Grove said. “I made sure to estimate on the high side, especially once the program is up and running. I believe that our actual annual costs will be less.” The total estimate comes to about $56,000 per year, and he said this would be paid completely out of the district’s general fund. Parents will not be asked to financially support the program, he confirmed. In an email, Grove reiterated that no parent donations or foundation support will be required to sustain the IB program. “We are committed to supporting the core costs of the program,” he said. The only fundraising that might take place to support the IB program, he said, would be to raise money for enrichment activities related to the program, such as field trips, and to assist students with the cost of the assessments. IB assessments, like AP exams, are pricey and

not included in the program. To receive an IB Diploma, students need to pass the assessments which cost about $116 per class. Students would need to pay for this directly, just as they do for AP exams. Not the first time This isn’t the first time San Dieguito has considered incorporating IB into its schools. An Intent-to-Apply was submitted in 2007 for Earl Warren Middle School and Torrey Pines High School, and both schools were accepted. IB’s Middle Years Program was planned for the schools’ seventh, eighth and ninth grades. At the time, this idea was promoted as a way to attract middle school students to Earl Warren and away from overcrowded Carmel Valley Middle School. But in 2008, discussions came to a halt over budget issues. Rick Schmitt, who in 2008 was the district’s associate superintendent of educational services, said the idea was also proposed for Torrey Pines back in 1996 and again in 2003. The issue was dropped back then for lack of staff support and to focus on more pressing issues. Although this is not the first time IB has been considered in the district, this is the first time it’s progressed this far. As an added bonus, this may be the first time in six years that there’s been an issue that the five members of this divided school board can all enthusiastically support. The International Baccalaureate program will be discussed at La Costa Canyon’s high school selection forum on Monday, Feb. 6. The forum is open to the public and will provide students and parents with information on LCC and all its programs. The pep rally starts at 5:30 p.m., and the offerings fair begins at 6:15. La Costa Canyon currently serves about 2,000 students in grades 9-12 and is located at One Maverick Way in Carlsbad. Sr. Education Writer Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.

appeared in “Annie Get Your Gun” on Broadway. “She always included us and made us feel like we were a family and that’s what she was always about,” said McKay. He said when she was invited to dinner, “…she always took us and paid for everything. Always. She treated us like her own children.” McKay was part of her show during a time when Reynolds was having financial difficulties. He said he’ll never forget when she called him up to her room and gave McKay a $5,000 check to put toward expenses. He and his wife had recently had a baby and her gesture meant the world to him.

FROM LETTERS, A18 There used to be only a handful of emperors or empresses in the world, but, nowadays, there are billions driving cars at 150 to 250 horsepower and beyond. Even though the U.S. is not considered as the world’s manufacturing capital, the U.S. leads the world at 12kW per capita of energy consumption. By contrast, China consumed 1.5kW per capita, and India 1kW, and both are fast catching up with the developed countries in the energy consumptions. Our wishful thinking is that this will not cause global warming with gigantic hurricanes, arctic oscillations, powerful tornados, and sporadic weather extremes. Our actions are inconsequential to the inconveniences or even catastrophes on earth, and yet the new normal is pretended as mysterious, perhaps due to some invisible hand. In scientific studies, any effect has a cause, and every action produces consequence, perhaps more dramatically illustrated by the ‘butterfly effect’ – a sensitive dependency on a small deviation in the initial conditions to result in large differences in the later stage. The earth is finite in everything, and is totally vacuum sealed. The weather extremes cannot be uncorrelated with the continually increased energy consumption and accumulated heat waste. Imagine the fish in the fish tank is holding the BBQ party; an unrealistic assumption could lead to disasters. The 2kW society, first introduced in 1998 by the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zürich, is truly a shot in the arm for the capitalist societies to eradicate the wrongs.

The company has also renovated several historic structures. These include the four-year restoration of the Canfield-Wright House in Del Mar — a Spanish Revival mansion built in 1910; and the Amy Strong Castle in Ramona — the centerpiece of Davidson’s Mt. Woodson master-planned community. Both are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. “We’ve been very fortunate to find assets like The Oaks Farms, the old Amy Strong Castle at Mt. Woodson, and the old Canfield-Wright House in Del Mar,” said Bill. “We get a tremendous amount of pleasure in

restoring and enhancing these unique properties. If you haven’t seen The Oaks, you really should—whether you’re an equestrian lover or not.” Over the years, Bill said he has seen many changes as a homebuilder. “The changes I have observed have been in the way people live,” said Bill. “The trend has moved toward the great room concept and as much flexibility in the floor plan as possible.” Bill said his greatest joy is “when homeowners tell me how much they enjoy the house we built, and that they have turned it into a home.” For more information, visit www.davidsoncommunities.com, TheOaksFarmsLiving.com or call 949-391-0920.

FROM GASPAR, A2 Tackling homelessness doesn’t necessarily mean spending more on the problem, she said, but instead critically assessing available services. “We’re spending a fortune on this issue. Is there a better way?” she said. “It’s about linking people to services and getting them back on their feet.” Another challenge will be dealing with the ramifications of Props. 47 and 57, two voter-approved measures that will result in the release of state prison inmates, Gaspar said. Other key issues include fire response times in rural areas, and managing the county’s $5 billion-plus annual budget. In her first weeks on the job, Gaspar said, she is working to familiarize herself with county departments and staff, as she has moved from a city with 250 employees to an agency with a workforce of more than 17,000. “It’s just a larger scale. It’s just going to take a little time to better know the organization,” she said.

FROM ENGLISH, A2 were selected to pilot the materials and an additional 53 teachers were provided the materials to allow them to collaborate with their grade-level teams. The district received feedback from the teachers in November with 100 percent consensus on McGraw Hill.

Gaspar said she realizes that many of her objectives, such as reducing homelessness, won’t be fully achieved in her first term. “In four years time, it really is only enough time to lay down a framework and establish goals for our region,” she said. “I would be grateful to serve two terms in office if the voters are so willing.” In her new role, Gaspar represents about 650,000 people who live in supervisorial District Three, which includes not only Encinitas but Del Mar, Solana Beach, Carmel Valley, Escondido, Rancho Bernardo, Scripps Ranch, Carmel Mountain and Tierrasanta. Gaspar said she will be spending time in District Three, listening to constituents and, “making sure the decisions I’m making are in line with the priorities of the residents in the communities where I serve.” But even as she takes on new and larger responsibilities, Gaspar said, her heart will remain in her hometown of Encinitas. “I now enjoy watching Encinitas City Council meetings from the comfort of my sofa,” she said.

As the primarily digital program of Study Sync is more complex, the teachers have requested more time to fully vet all of the components so the pilot has been extended to April. Firestone said they expect to bring both recommendations to the board for approval by the end of the school year, so

FROM FIREFIGHTERS, A1 King said. At Wednesday's council meeting, City Manager Gregory Wade said one of the city's goals for the contract negotiation was to increase firefighters' pension contributions, which he called a "noteworthy achievement." Other provisions of the contract include a 15 percent increase in health benefits over the two years, a one percent increase toward retiree health benefits, and a $500 "stipend" for all city firefighters covered by the agreement. After the second increase in health benefits, which will occur on July 1, firefighters will receive $1,231.74 per month, which they can spend on health insurance for themselves and their families, King said. The department has four classifications for firefighters covered by the agreement: firefighter/paramedic, fire engineer, fire captain and shift captain. According to a salary schedule provided by the city, in the second year of the contract, a firefighter/paramedic at the first of five salary steps will earn $71,581 per year, while a shift captain at the top salary step will earn $105,518. The agreement does not cover the management positions of battalion chief, deputy chief and fire chief. Wade said a salary comparison conducted by the city found that in the first year of the agreement, Solana Beach firefighters will rank in the area of ninth through 11th of the county's 18 fire departments in terms of salary. Their position will jump to fifth

materials can be ordered and training conducted for implementation in fall 2017. Board member Kristin Gibson requested that the materials be made available for parents and Superintendent Holly McClurg said a review of the materials can be arranged at the district office.

in the second year of the contract, Wade said, but that ranking does not take into account raises granted to firefighters at other agencies. The new firefighters contract will cost the city $35,500 more than the previous contract in its first year, and an additional $115,600 in the second year, according to the city staff report. The increased costs will be included in the city budget for 2017-2018, which the council will receive in May. Council members thanked city negotiators and firefighter representatives for reaching the new agreement. "We're doing a pretty good job at targeting the middle of the range and compensating the firefighters fairly, relative to their peers in the county," said Councilman David Zito. "We do appreciate what they do, they have a hard job" said Mayor Mike Nichols of the city's firefighters. "Public safety is a priority for this council." Zito said the council has tried to strike a balance between reasonably compensating firefighters while guarding the public's purse strings. "We're trying to treat our employees well while also being responsible with our finances," he said. Solana Beach partners with Del Mar and Encinitas on management services, with one fire chief overseeing all three departments. The three agencies also sharing other management positions in an effort to save money on overhead. The new firefighter contract approved by the Solana Beach council, however, only covers firefighters in Solana Beach.

Faced with these risks, many patients choose to forego treatment and instead take a “wait-and-see” approach, in which they and their physicians watch for signs of tumor progression before taking any treatment action. “We believe that patients shouldn’t have to choose between actively fighting their cancer and giving up on their current quality of life,” said Stehling. “With IRE, we are able to offer them the best of both worlds: an effective,

FROM COMMONS, A1 TPHS Principal Rob Coppo said he was thankful that the Prop AA-funded project was completed on time, staying on schedule despite having to work around 2,600 kids on campus. He thanked his staff for dealing with all the challenges of construction and cut the ribbon alongside San Dieguito Union High School District Board President Amy Herman and Clerk Beth Hergesheimer. “Without the board’s support this kind of thing doesn’t happen,” Coppo said. “We’ve got this incredible new facility for our students and I’m really excited to open it up.” The spacious and open learning commons is rimmed by five small work rooms, a larger conference room and administrative offices.

types of trees and landscaping that would be planted. “Without Jamas, this wouldn’t be happening,” Emerson said. Ackerly said that One Paseo represents a “deeper notion of mixed-use,” a place that welcomes the entire community because it’s part of the community. He said that residents can expect community events such as local farmers’ markets, family nights, outdoor movies, concerts, pop-up markets, art exhibits and more. “San Diegans are a diverse group of personalities and backgrounds, united by desire and culture that puts quality of life for our families first,” Ackerly said. “It’s why we choose to live here. It’s more evident in Carmel Valley than anywhere else, that’s why this town came to be. From the moment you arrive at One Paseo, everything’s going to feel easy, it’s going to feel comfortable, it’s going to feel laid back and it’s going to feel family-friendly. I like to say more than anything, One Paseo is completely unique to San Diego but it’s uniquely San Diegan.” At the groundbreaking event, guests were able to don virtual reality goggles to see for themselves what the project will look like as well as check out a model that showed how One Paseo will fit into this corner of Carmel Valley. Carmel Valley Community Planning Board Chair Frisco White said it was not only helpful to see how the project will lay out across the site but also to make note of how small in scale the retail element is — designed with architecture and materials that reflect the surrounding community, human scale storefronts in stand-alone buildings, large heritage trees that line walking paths that lead

He reported that the new image-guided procedure had a 100 percent success rate in treating the local cancer, which means that each tumor treated was effectively destroyed.

While Kilroy still has to stay mum about the retail tenants they are in conversations with, they think people will be happy with what they bring into the community. “Some of the retail that will be going into the One Paseo retail center is truly game-changing I think for the county and I think a lot of cities would love to have some of the names we’re talking to,” said Rob Paratte, an executive vice president with Kilroy.

In his comments, Faulconer said he was excited for a project that will provide much-needed housing, $600 million of total investment and 900 permanent jobs that will grow San Diego’s tax base and the economy. “As mayor that helps me pave the roads, do what we need to do with our parks and infrastructure and as we are continuing to grow our economy, particularly our innovation economy, this One Paseo project is going to provide top-of-the-line work spaces that we need to add to attract some of the best and brightest talent.” “This is a win for all San Diegans,” Faulconer said.

Steve Martin returns to Globe with ‘Picasso at the Lapin Agile’

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DIANA SAENGER The world of Paris 1904 as seen through Steve Martin’s “Picasso at the Lapin Agile” awaits The Old Globe Theatre playgoers Feb. 4 to March 12. Those who saw Martin’s previous Globe productions — the world premiere of the musical “Bright Star,” which earned five Tony Award nominations on Broadway or the world premiere of the comedy “Meteor Shower” — will not want to miss his exciting take on this classic. Back in the day, Lapin Agile was a treasured cabaret for struggling artists, comedians, writers and intellectuals. Portraying them in this cast are Philippe Bowgen as Pablo Picasso; Donald Faison as Freddy; Kevin Hafso-Koppman as Visitor; Liza Lapira as Suzanne, Countess and Female Admirer; Hal Linden as Gaston; Ron Orbach as Sagot; Marcel Spears as Charles Dabernow Schmendiman; and Luna Vélez as Germaine. Justin Long stars as Albert Einstein. You may remember Long as actor, producer, director and writer (“Dodgeball,” “He’s Just Not That Into You,” “New Girl,” “Ed”). “I’m a huge fan of Steve Martin’s comedy and writing,” Long said. “I enjoyed reading this play years ago, and thought how fun it would be to do it. My friend, Justin Wallman, who is part of The Old Globe, and I did a play together a few years ago, so it was an easy choice. We want to bring some happiness to this world, and I’m fortunate I can participate in some of that.” Einstein was one of several characters who strolled into the Lapin Agile where the regulars would gather and talk about their work. “I liked how Hal Linden said it was a bit like an episode of ‘Cheers,’ and if Einstein was part of that show he would be Frasier Crane because he loved to argue,” Long said. “Some of these characters end up being very important figures of the 20th century. They debate love, life and art to a heightened reality that is so fun. No one has a better ear for comedy than Steve Martin, so it has great dialogue —

rhythmic, cerebral and sometimes stupid in the best way of joy and fun. There are moments that are more profound and there’s a pee joke — it’s quintessential Steve Martin.” Long said he did some research about the historical figures in the play. “That research made it easier for me to inhabit the parts about Justin Long plays Einstein’s shoes and mustache, Albert Einstein. and get an overview of his theory of relativity. I have to speak in scientific terms and see scientific abstracts in a beautiful way. I remember the character Professor Ludwig Von Drake in Walt Disney’s cartoons, and comic book characters ... that was my first introduction to Einstein, but it was a little over the top with the accents and Einstein has to be clear. There are moments in the show that are kind of like Marx Brothers-esque; the lines are very rhythmic and remind me of Groucho.” Long said he agrees that Martin’s work is forefront on the American stage, and he likes the humanity he puts forth in this script. “The way he frames ideas and stories with humor and depth creates so much meaning, and yet he keeps it funny,” Long said. “I think that’s a difficult marriage and that’s why I’ve always been a fan. Anyone with a profound fondness for art and life, and who is curious about how science figures into that, will enjoy this comedy. I find it fascinating to see these humans mix, and to imagine how they drank a beer, talked, carried themselves, sat at a bar, danced .... or tried to hook up with the same girl.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Picasso at the Lapin Agile,” runs through March 12 on The Old Globe Theatre’s Shiley Stage, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park, San Diego.

Who loves short shorts? Joyce Axelrod! Introducing Jewish Film Fest’s ‘Queen of Shorts’ BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT eb. 8 marks the start of the 27th annual San Diego Jewish Film Festival (SDJFF), presented by the Center for Jewish Culture at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center. This year’s 12-day festival, Feb. 8-19, features 60 films from 21 countries at five venues around the county, and is expected to attract thousands of viewers, Jews and non-Jews alike. One of the highlights is the Joyce Forum, a full day of short films on Monday, Feb. 13, at Joyce ArcLight Cinemas in Axelrod Westfield UTC Mall. The Forum, which includes four 90-minute programs of films, each 2-30 minutes long, was named for SDJFF founder Joyce Axelrod. Axelrod’s life began in Española, a small town outside Santa Fe, where her father owned a furniture store and she was known as “the little Jew girl.” “My father came from Lithuania, he spoke Spanish better than English, and we were the only Jews in town,” she said. “His customers were Hispanics and Indians from the nearby reservations. When I was in third grade, we moved to Albuquerque, and later I went to college in Tucson, where I met my husband, Bob Axelrod, and started teaching school.” Widowed young, she took a job teaching in Japan, on an American airbase. “It was a fabulous experience, and when I came home, I was anxious to start a new job and a new life,” she said. “In 1970, I went to San Diego, loved it, and found a job teaching special education in El Cajon.” The program she developed for teaching simple skills to her students was so successful that school administrators asked her to make a video to show their progress. “They handed me a camcorder, assured me they wouldn’t judge me on my cinematography, and I did a short piece that was good enough to use as a teaching tool.” In 1972, she met Joe Fisch, a local attorney, and fell in love. They bought a house together, but didn’t get married until 1991, in a “surprise wedding.” Among their other unconventional choices: every few years,

they’d close up their house and live somewhere else for several months: Manhattan, Jerusalem, London, Philadelphia, Boston, Montreal, Seattle. “People look at me and think they know who I am,” Joyce said. “They’re always surprised to hear about all my adventures.” On the more traditional side, she joined the boards of various organizations, including the JCC’s Center for Jewish Culture, La Jolla Athenaeum, Playwrights Project, and the local branch of the United Jewish Federation, who asked her to create a slide presentation for their 50th anniversary in 1987. Then Lynette Allen, Director of Cultural Arts at the JCC, invited her to help start a film festival there. “At first, we set up 60 folding chairs in the gym and showed four films a year,” Joyce remembered. “Then someone said: why don’t you have a real festival, in a real theater? So in 1990, we rented Sherwood Auditorium (at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego in La Jolla), which holds 500 people, put up posters for the First Annual San Diego Jewish Film Festival, and showed four films in 10 days, with capacity crowds every time.” And what about shorts? “Back in the day, festivals only used shorts as filler,” she said. “If a feature ran under 90 minutes, we’d fill in with a couple of ‘short subjects.’ Sometimes they were better than the feature films!” In 2003, for her birthday, Axelrod’s husband made a donation in her name to the SDJFF, to do “something special” — and so the Joyce Forum was born. “We now have a 16-person committee that screens about 150 films from all over the world,” she explained. “This year, we’re showing 23 shorts from six different countries, and it’s really a Forum — we have a lunchtime panel discussion with some of the filmmakers, led by KBPS film critic Beth Accomando.” From their modest beginnings, Joyce Axelrod and her shorts have come a long way. ■ IF YOU GO: “Joyce Forum: A Day of Short Films,” starts at 10 a.m. Monday, Feb. 13 at ArcLight Cinemas, 4425 La Jolla Village Drive, Westfield UTC Mall.

Most notably is green tea for being an excellent source of anti-oxidants. Special highlights of the day will include free cooking demonstrations at 12:30 p.m. and 3 p.m. with samples included. At 1:30 p.m. guests will meet Theresa Ford, tea expert, who will dive into the world of tea. There will be kids’ activities throughout the day and, who knows, kids may just get greeted by Alice in Wonderland so be on the lookout!

Sip of success: Local resident creates Cosa Salvaje tequila BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley resident Elle France is hoping to change the tequila drinking experience with her new Cosa Salvaje tequila. She has put her own “sexy and sweet” take on the Mexican liquor and it has been picking up momentum since its first pours in August of last year. “I’ve always loved tequila and the tradition that goes into making it,” said France of the method of making true tequila in Jalisco, Mexico from the native agave plant. “My tequila is a sipping tequila, like a cognac. You don’t shoot it, you sip it.” Cosa Salvaje, which translates to “wild thing,” is made from 100 percent blue agave in a distillery in Jalisco. The smooth-drinking tequila features sweet, warm, spicy, peppery, herbaceous flavors and France promises even non-tequila drinkers will love it. It is now being sold at Carmel Valley Liquor, Seaside Market, Rancho Santa Fe Market and Deli, Old Town Liquor, Holiday Wine Cellar in Escondido and is on the menu at Pacific Coast Grill. France has lived in the Carmel Valley area for several years and both of her children went to Torrey Pines High School. She has a

The show will begin airing Feb. 12 and is also available to view online (find out more at theromance.tv). France started her tequila project a year and a half ago. In doing

It turned out to be the best leap she ever took, finding the perfect person to help her in the process (she declines to name him for the sake of keeping a little mystery). At the Mexican distillery, she tasted several different tequilas and created her own tequila profile. She chose to make Cosa Salvaje tequila blanco, which means unaged.

“The margarita is the number one mixed drink in the world and blanco tequila is used for it,” France said. The bottles are made out of recycled glass in Mexico, so each has its own unique imperfections and wrapped around the cork is a strap of top-of-the-line leather, stamped with the Cosa Salvaje logo. The shape is like a flask but a “super sultry and sexy, 007-style”

that France loves. The artwork on the bottles features three different ladies — one of them is a familiar blonde. And unlike many liquor bottles, the artwork continues on the back of the bottle, showing the backs of the ladies on the front. When the first batch of tequila arrived in August, France said it was crazy and “mind-boggling” to think she had her own tequila brand. She has been doing her best to just step back and enjoy the moments —like seeing her brand on a menu or when she went into Carmel Valley Liquor, where Cosa Salvaje has its very own shelf, and met a couple who had just purchased 30 bottles of her tequila. She is grateful for the support she has received from the local community and for the building excitement around the Cosa Salvaje brand — the tequila will be featured at a pre-Oscar party in Los Angeles this month and is being poured in actor David Arquette’s bar Bootsy Bellows in Aspen, Colo. She hopes to get as many people as possible to take a sip and experience something a little different and a little wild.

Southern California rests between two tectonic plates which constantly grind against each other. This triggers earthquakes and tsunamis, pushes up mountains, islands and lifts up parts of the coast. “Surf, Sand and Stone” tells the story of how southern California’s coastline came to be and how it is evolving. It also suggests how it will change in the future and how we can prepare for the changes.

National Charity League, Inc. San Dieguito Senior Waltz Dinner

embers of the class of 2017 of the National Charity League, Inc. San Dieguito Chapter (NCL, Inc. San Dieguito) and their parents and escorts enjoyed a special evening at their Waltz Dinner held Jan. 8 at the Estancia Hotel in La Jolla. In preparation for their Senior Recognition, the girls (called Ticktockers) and their fathers and escorts enjoyed a special waltz-dancing lesson. Fathers and escorts contributed heart-warming toasts to their wives and daughters in celebration of their six-year NCL journeys. The evening concluded with a very special touch as each of the Ticktockers shared letters they had written to their mothers out loud in front of the entire audience. These touching sentiments were precious and there wasn’t a dry eye in the room. Grade Level Advisor and Senior parent Marie Morse complimented, “What poise and courage and confidant the girls demonstrated!” The families couldn’t be more proud of the girls. The Waltz Dinner is a special tradition for the senior class and a lovely prelude to the chapter’s Combined Event, which features Senior Recognition, and the 10th grade class Fashion Show on March 12. NCL, Inc. San Dieguito currently has 268 members and provides hands-on volunteer service for 24 philanthropic organizations in the community. Members are women and their daughters in grades 7-12. Through this community service, NCL, Inc. develops socially responsible community leaders and strengthens the mother-daughter relationship. The traditional six-year core program also includes leadership development and cultural activities. For more information about the NCL, Inc., San Dieguito, please visit www.sandieguito.nationalcharityleague.org.

Professional Resolutions for the New Year It seems as though the closing of the year is almost a prerequisite for taking stock of where our lives are going and what changes we’d like to make for the coming year. Of course, society tends to focus on the external, superficial changes that should be made, usually in direct relation to some kind of holiday indulgence. But far more productive, especially for working moms, are those personal reflections that help us to refocus on what is most important to us as individuals. For working moms, taking time out to assess and reflect on your life is critical. New Year’s resolutions shouldn’t be just about a number on a scale or some general, abstract idea, such as “I want to be a better mom,”

although that is also important. But real personal reflection comes from taking stock of being a working professional and a mom, and how well you’ve been able to find the ideal personal balance. It’s important to remember that you don’t have to feel guilty for pursuing your passions while being a mom; taking care of kids does not mean losing the other parts of yourself that you have valued, and coming short of your goals. That is why making lists and setting goals—and professional resolutions for yourself—can be critical to retaining that work/home balance, and keeping you not only on track professionally, but satisfied emotionally. So take the time to make your professional resolutions for the New Year. Start by making a list of everything that you were able to accomplish this last year. What were all the things you did that made you happy, that you can remember? What major milestones did you hit, both as a working professional and as a mom? Next, make a list of all the things that might have gotten in your way this year. Was there extra driving between school and sports practice, for instance, that took

time out of your day? Did you get caught up in projects that might not have been as satisfying, that had nothing to do with work, or served only to derail or delay your goals? Think about your big time sinks from this past year. If you’ve have many, or you sense a pattern, then that’s a good place to start brainstorming for your professional resolutions for next year. Making your professional resolutions for the New Year: Now think about all those mini life derailments and the patterns that popped up on your list. Did you, for example, spend more time being a family chauffeur than a professional? Now think run a cost-beneﬁt analysis of spending your time driving around, dropping off kids or running errands. How much money is that time worth? If there isn’t a carpool you can be part of, taking on even one driving day a week instead of three to ﬁve, then it’s time to investigate creative options and make friends with other parents whose kids have similar activities. If this isn’t possible, more working parents are hiring family assistants to shuttle kids to all their various activities for an hourly or daily fee. There are plenty of ways to get reliable

and trustworthy help, and this is one way to maximize your professional time without stressing yourself over the small, daily tasks. Another time sink can be family drama. This is harder to avoid if you are a mom who works from home, but there are professional resolutions you can make to avoid these dramas as well. Set aside work hours and a dedicated working space, and treat that time as if you are in your ofﬁce. No personal calls, no personal emails, and no tolerance for nonemergency interruptions—that is the time you devote to your professional goals. Now take a look back at your list of accomplishments. Are there as many as you would like to have? Or are you ready to take a leap to expand your professional goals in the New Year? Now is the time to make a strategic plan for how you can either make a professional shift or challenge your previous goals.

Feb. 2, 9, 16, 23, 2017 NOTICE OF COMPLETION OF AN ADDENDUM TO THE ADOPTED MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION FOR THE CITYWIDE SIDEWALKS IMPROVEMENT PROJECT (SCH No. 2014111010) FOR THE CAMINO DEL MAR MULTI-USE PATHWAY IMPROVEMENT PROJECT Date: January 25, 2017 NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City of Del Mar (City) has completed an Addendum to the Citywide Sidewalks Improvement Project Mitigated Negative Declaration (State Clearinghouse Number 2014444010) for the proposed Camino Del Mar Multi-Use Pathway Improvement Project in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA). Project Name: Camino Del Mar MultiUse Pathway Improvement Project Project Location: Along Camino Del

Project Location: Along Camino Del Mar from 4th Street/Del Mar Heights Road to Carmel Valley Road Project Description: The purpose of the Camino Del Mar Multi-Use Pathway Improvement Project is to provide bike lanes and pathway improvements to improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists along Camino Del Mar. The originally approved Citywide Sidewalks Improvement Project envisioned improvements to pedestrian linkages, including relocation or reduction of roadway medians to relocate lanes, and the construction of curbs, gutters, pedestrian ramps, and sidewalks. The project revisions analyzed in this MND Addendum are within the scope of the previously approved project, with minor refinements. The project modifications are focused on the Project 5 roadway segment, as analyzed in the Camino Del Mar Multi-Use Pathway Improvement Project MND. The project modifications include the following: 1. Reduce northbound travel lanes along Camino Del Mar from Carmel Valley Road north to 4th Street to provide a single northbound travel lane. The existing Class II bike lanes on both sides of the road will remain. In addition, a shared path is proposed along the west side of Camino Del Mar to accommodate both pedestrians and bicyclists. 2. Construct improvements to the signalized intersections on either end of Camino Del Mar at 4th Street and Carmel Valley Road as summarized below: a. Camino Del Mar/Carmel Valley Road – Replace the westbound to northbound free right-turn lane with a dedicated right-turn lane at the intersection. The Class II bike lanes and marked pedestrian crossings would be enhanced at this intersection to improve safety for pedestrians and bicyclists. b. Camino Del Mar/4th Street/Del Mar Heights Road – Eliminate one northbound travel lane south of the intersection at 4th Street to better accommodate the bike lane. Two northbound through lanes would be maintained at the intersection by combining the left-turn lane with a through northbound lane. In addition, southbound would have one dedicated left lane, one combined through/ left lane, a bike lane, and a dedicated right-turn lane. Westbound would also have one dedicated left lane, one combined through/left lane, a bike lane, and a dedicated right-turn lane. 3. Revise the pathway alignment at the southern end of Camino Del Mar to minimize impacts to Torrey Pines. All improvements and temporary impacts (i.e., staging of construction equipment and materials) will be completed within existing rights-ofway and on adjacent City-owned or leased parcels that are currently developed or disturbed. Findings: Pursuant to the provisions of CEQA (Public Resources Code, Section 21000 et seq.) and based on information contained in the attached Addendum, the City of Del Mar has determined that the project will not result in substantial changes to the Citywide Sidewalks Improvement Project that require major revisions to the adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration due to the involvement of new significant environmental effects or a substantial increase in the severity of previously identified significant effects. The project would not result in any new or more severe environmental impacts and applicable mitigation measures identified in the adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration would be applied to this subsequent project as described in Section 5.0 of the attached Addendum. Document Availability: Printed copies of the Addendum for the Camino Del Mar Multi-Use Pathway Improvement Project and the adopted Mitigated Negative Declaration and Initial Study for the Citywide Sidewalks Improvement Project are on file and

Lobster Martini Valentine (for her)

Gustatory Gift of the Magi for St. Valentine’s Day

Christmas tale of devotion, the theme is a universal one that fittingly pays homage to the ancient Roman festival of Lupercalia (a precursor to St. Valentine’s Day) to ensure the fertility of the people, the fields and the flocks. Foods that were by nature representative of “seeds” (like bulbs and eggs) were thought to be endowed with sexual powers, while those that resembled male and female reproductive parts were also considered libido-enhancing and in great demand. The long, lusty food list started with the almond as a fertility symbol back in Biblical times as its heady aroma was believed to

Filet of Beef Valentine (for him)

CO I

year ago, I caught up with an old friend whose daughter was just married. She told me that the newlyweds were recent graduates with modest internship incomes and tons of student debt. But they were madly in love, and would go to the moon for each other. Last Valentine’s Day, each separately planned an intimate surprise dinner for the other. Her daughter was a lobster lover, while her son-in-law a diehard carnivore. Their cramped apartment was packed to the rafters with wedding gifts, including a lobster kit with an array of silver-plated seafood tools to enjoy a crustaceous feast, and a set of gold-plated steak knives. Unbeknownst to the other, she returned the lobster kit and used the money to buy the fixings for a gourmet steak-and-caviar dinner, while he returned the knives to buy a live lobster with Champagne and chocolate-covered strawberries. Alas, my friend’s daughter was lovingly presented with her favorite food, but deprived of the proper tools to fully indulge, while her son-in-law was served a juicy T-bone steak without the appropriate cutting utensils.

Add the lobster to the sauce and toss gently. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. Evenly distribute the mixture into 2 cocktail glasses. Add 3 jumbo shrimps to the rim of each glass, and garnish with lemon twists or parsley sprigs. Serves 2.

NORTH COAST - FEBRUARY 2, 2017 - PAGE B15

Local hotels, restaurants earn top AAA ratings BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Four San Diego County hotels and one restaurant earned the AAA’s coveted Five-Diamond Rating, the Automobile Club of Southern California announced recently. Making the list were the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort in Carlsbad, the Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa in Rancho Santa Fe, The Lodge at Torrey Pines in La Jolla and the Fairmont Grand Del Mar in Carmel Valley. The Five-Diamond restaurant is Addison at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar. “The AAA Five-Diamond Rating is achieved through very personalized and

dedicated work to provide guests with a high-tough luxury experience,’’ said Patricia Marenco, the Auto Club’s approved accommodations supervisor. “Guest service is a point of pride for these top hotels.’’ The Auto Club also released its list of Four-Diamond Ratings for hotels and restaurants. To earn the rating, hotels must be “refined, stylish with upscale physical attributes, extensive amenities and a high degree of hospitality, service and attention to detail,’’ according to the Auto Club. Among the local establishments landing on the list were L’Auberge Del Mar and Mille Fleurs in Rancho Santa Fe.

Fairmont Grand Del Mar No. 1 luxury hotel, TripAdvisor reviewers say BY LORI WEISBERG San Diego’s Fairmont Grand Del Mar, which two years ago was sold to Fairmont Hotels, is regarded as the top luxury hotel in the country, thanks to users of the TripAdvisor website. Located in Carmel Valley, the 400-acre resort was ranked in the second spot last year. The only other San Diego County property to make it onto TripAdvisor’s top 25 luxury resorts in the nation was Rancho Valencia

Resort & Spa in Rancho Santa Fe, ranked at No. 17. TripAdvisor’s 2017 Traveler’s Choice awards rely on millions of reviews collected in a single year from TripAdvisor travelers worldwide. The top properties are distinguished by “remarkable remarkable service, value and quality.” Lori Weisberg is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune.
