DMUSD plans poll on bond possibility BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District will go ahead with a survey to take the temperature of district voters on a potential bond measure to help the district with its facilities needs on the November 2016 ballot. The vote was not unanimous on spending the $25,000 on the survey, with board President Doug Rafner and trustee Scott Wooden voting against it. “It’s not a small amount of money but I also feel that I want to be able to say that we did our best to figure out what people wanted here,” board member Kristin Gibson said, who voted in favor of the survey I find it difficult to live with trustees Darren Gretler with that margin of error and Erica Halpern. and spending Wooden was the $25,000 and hesitant to not ending up approve the with a real survey as he accurate feel. said he didn’t Adam Bauer of know if they Fieldman, Rolapp would see and Associates anything different than the last time. He said the last survey was essentially the 2012 election, when the district came up short of the required 55 percent approval rate on its last bond effort. Rafner took issue with both the cost of the survey and the value of the information that the district would get from the survey with a margin of error of 5.7 percent. “Last time we were told we were going to win and we lost it by less than 1 percent,” Rafner said. “We’ll have the same situation is what I see, only we’ll be $25,000 in the hole.” At the Feb. 24 meeting, the board approved a contract not to exceed $31,350 with research firm Fairbank, Maslin, Maullin, Metz and Associates.

Del Mar’s Design Review Board hears presentation on Watermark project BY KRISTINA HOUCK Del Mar’s Design Review Board got its first look at revised plans for a proposed multifamily development project near the Del Mar Fairgrounds during a presentation at the Feb. 24 meeting. Located on a vacant lot at Jimmy Durante Boulevard and San
Dieguito Drive, Watermark Del Mar features 48 studio- to three-bedroom single-level flats and two-story townhomes, resulting in a proposed density of roughly 20.5 units per acre. Seven of the units will be affordable, four of which will be deeded at no cost to a nonprofit organization selected by the city.
The project also includes 108 parking spaces — 96 assigned stalls for the units and 12 guest stalls — in an underground structure, a pool and spa area and a recreation room. Property owner Watermark DM L.P. introduced the project at a July 2013 workshop. At the time, it SEE WATERMARK, A15

Surf Cup Sports to take over polo fields lease BY KAREN BILLING The city has selected Surf Cup Sports as the winning proposal in the bid process to take over the lease of the San Diego Polo Fields. A new 25-year lease is currently being developed and will be approved by San Diego City Council in the next couple of months. Jim Madaffer, representing Surf Cup Sports, updated the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board on its plans for the 80-acre property at its Feb. 24 meeting. “Our central theme is stewardship for the land and giving back to the community,” said Madaffer, a former San Diego City Council member. San Diego obtained the polo club land in the early 1980s as part of a deal for development of the nearby community of Fairbanks Ranch. The city received a total of 616 acres, most of which was used for construction of the Fairbanks Ranch Country Club, which is also leased to the city through 2044. Although the original deed for the polo club property stated that there would be no active, non-community recreational uses, an updated memorandum of understanding does allow for active use sports. The San Diego Polo Club’s 26-year lease expired in 2012 and since then has leased the property on a month-to-month basis. A request for proposals went out in May of 2015 — Surf Cup Sports was selected among the bids. With its proposal, Madaffer said Surf Soccer has committed to making several improvements for the better, including the “immediate benefit” of two new fields that will be open for community sports groups to use as scheduled through the Carmel Valley Recreation Council. Surf Soccer has also pledged to help complete a major restoration and improvements to the Coast
to Crest Trail along the property, which has been approved and never completed for a decade. Madaffer said Surf has met with the San Dieguito River Park and has agreed to give them the funds and allow the organization to build the trails in any way they want. The plan also features the development of a new equestrian arena and staging area toward the back of the property for community trail access as well as new public restrooms. In addition, the plan includes the employment of professional traffic management staff, a change in on-property traffic flow and a new parking plan meant to alleviate local street traffic. Madaffer said Surf Cup plans to adhere to the strict number of events per year outlined in the deed as well as the kind of events that are permitted—he said there will be no car shows, no lights or amplified sound. The deed language allows for 25 events a year and Madaffer said Surf will “probably be well under that” due to the health of the grass. Madaffer said letting the grass rest is their biggest issue as the health of the turf is important to maintain a world-class soccer facility. In their RFP, Surf Cup included that polo activities will continue on the site, whether with San Diego Polo Club or with another group. “Polo will have a place here,” Madaffer said, noting as they are a youth sports group they are especially interested in educational polo lessons. “A decision will be made after the lease is final.” “My issue with the Surf Cup has always been with poor traffic direction,” said Carmel Valley planning board member Christian Clews. “(Those directing traffic) always give first priority to event participants versus the normal traffic patterns.” SEE POLO FIELDS, A18
Teacher accused of trying to buy pot from student BY DAVID HERNANDEZ A high school teacher accused of trying to buy marijuana from a student was arrested Feb. 25, police said March 1. Miles Brown, 34, was arrested at Canyon Crest Academy on suspicion of attempted solicitation of marijuana from a minor and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. According to a high school sports website, MaxPreps, Brown also is the
school’s lacrosse coach. Police said investigators discovered what appeared to be communication between Brown and a student. The investigation is ongoing. Police asked anyone with information about the case to call the department at (619) 531-2000 or the Crime Stoppers anonymous tip line at (888) 580-8477. David Hernandez is a writer for the San Diego Union-Tribune.
Districts alert parents about release of student information BY KAREN BILLING A federal district court has ordered the California Department of Education to disclose all California students’ confidential information. A public notice on the case, Morgan Hill Concerned Parents Association vs. the CDE was provided by the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act and has been posted on the websites of the Del Mar Union School District, Solana Beach School District and San Dieguito Union High School District to alert parents and give them an
opportunity to object to the release of information. The DMUSD board discussed the case at its Feb. 24 meeting. “I appreciate our district doing everything possible to make sure our kids are protected,” said board member Erica Halpern. In April 2012, the Morgan Hill Concerned Parents Association filed the suit against the California Department of Education, alleging non-compliance of special education laws by local educational agencies.

DM residents share beach concerns and solutions at workshop BY KRISTINA HOUCK More than 60 community members gathered to share their concerns about the Beach Colony during a neighborhood meeting Feb. 21 at Powerhouse Community Center. Led by Mayor Sherryl Parks and Deputy Mayor Terry Sinnott, residents worked in small groups to identify problems and solutions in the beach community. From cleaning the beach to enforcing traffic, residents listed a total of 52 recommendations. “It’s our job to listen to our constituents, hear their concerns, and do our best to try to find solutions to the problems if we have resources,” Parks said in an interview after the meeting. Participants were asked to select their preferred nine recommendations and rank them by priority. “They’re all good ideas; they’re all good observations,” Sinnott said to the crowd. “The challenge this afternoon is to figure out what’s the best of the best.” Following the meeting, points were tabulated and grouped into categories. Recommendations fell into several major categories, including beach maintenance, law enforcement, parking and traffic. Based on the number of points participants gave to their top SEE BEACH, A8
CV board wants public transit included in SANDAG plan BY KAREN BILLING At its Feb. 25 meeting, the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board weighed in on San Diego Forward, the regional transportation plan approved by the SANDAG Board of Directors and a proposed November 2016 ballot measure for a special tax increase to help fund it. Coleen Clementson, principal regional planner with SANDAG, said San Diego Forward is a plan representing years of extensive public engagement and lays out a roadmap for nearly $204 billion in transportation investments. In order to implement the plan, a new funding source is needed and SANDAG is considering the ballot measure for November asking voters to increase the local sales tax by up to one-half cent. The increase will require a two-thirds voter approval. SANDAG is in the process of gathering feedback on the potential measure and in February over 14,000 people participated in its town hall call-in sessions. One call, held entirely in Spanish, had more than 2,000 participants. The planning board’s input,
which they have heard at its multiple One Paseo meetings, is that there is simply not enough public transit in the area. “Carmel Valley has been neglected,” said board member Victor Manoushakian. “We really desperately need some kind of transportation, we’ve had nothing for 30 years.” TransNet, the one-half cent sales tax for transportation, was first approved in 1987 and its revenue has been used to expand transit and build and upgrade roadways in the region. TransNet was extended for 40 more years in 2004, narrowly squeaking by voters, Clementson said, and is expected to raise another $14 billion for identified projects. SANDAG has borrowed against future TransNet funds to build projects sooner, including new transit stations along I-15, modernization of the trolley system and preservation of open space. It is planned to fund the mid-coast trolley extension from Old Town to UC San Diego, lagoon restorations and enhancements along the I-5 corridor and double tracking of the coastal rail corridor. Board member Anne Harvey noted that the San Dieguito
River Valley has benefited immensely from the TransNet tax, allowing SANDAG to purchase large chunks of open space, nearly 6,300 acres. “It’s not just about transportation, it’s the green space that goes with it,” Harvey said. For the ballot measure, Clementson said SANDAG is considering several options for where the funding would go. In one option, 40 percent would get side aside for local governments to use on a variety of projects — allocations would be made to each of the county’s 18 cities, including San Diego, Del Mar, Solana Beach and Encinitas. Options for transportation projects funded by the increased tax could include additional lanes for SR-56, express service on the Coaster and Sprinter, the re-location of the Sorrento Valley Coaster Station and I-5 improvements. The I-5/SR-56 connector project could also be moved up in timing, which was of interest to the board. “Right now it is slated for 2035,” Clementson said. “At this stage I don’t know whether it would move five or 10 years ahead.”

Board member Shreya Sasaki stressed how “disconnected” Carmel Valley can sometimes feel due to the lack of public transit and she said she hoped SANDAG would consider that in their analysis. Board member Ken Farinsky said what the community needs is to bring people from the outskirts of Carmel Valley into the center of town through a line running east to west, connecting to and from the beach and Pacific Highlands Ranch. “It could bring people to schools, shopping and local places rather than getting to UTC,” Farinsky said. “There could be a huge demand for that kind of line but no one is talking about it.” He said San Diego’s ambitious Climate Action Plan, which seeks to reduce greenhouse gases 50 percent by 2035, is only going to happen if more people get on transit and that public transit should focus on where people really want and need to go. Clementson said the SANDAG board is expected to decide by April whether to move forward with the 2016 ballot measure.

Despite the darkness, terror victim never lost sight of hope
Ellen Karas, victim of 1998 U.S. Embassy bombing, speaks to RSF Women’s Fund
BY KAREN BILLING In 1998 Ellen Karas was living out all of her “Out of Africa” fantasies when she was on special assignment in Kenya with the U.S. Department of Commerce Foreign Commercial Service. Her dream trip became a dark, terrifying nightmare when she became a victim of the bombing of the United States Embassy in Nairobi. Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda were responsible for the attack which killed 213 people, including 12 Americans and left Karas permanently blinded. Karas (formerly known as Ellen Bomer) shared her story of hope and everyday courage at the Feb. 24 Rancho Santa Fe Women’s Fund meeting held at the RSF Golf Club. Karas also signed copies of her book, “Miss Gloria: A Survivor of Terrorism.” “Being blind is really just a characteristic,” Karas said. “It’s not one I would choose but blindness will not kill you. “I’m here to share with you what it’s like to wish for something and when it finally comes it’s not in the way you thought it would be. You kind of just have to muddle through it and keep going,” Karas said, stressing the value of stopping to think about the joy and the goodness that we get to experience each day. In the 1990s, Karas moved to Saudi Arabia with her husband before the Gulf War, working with the Air Force doing government contracts with the Saudi defense forces. “I loved my job,” said Karas, who was there in Riyadh when the Scud missiles came in. In 1993, she moved to Jeddah on The Red Sea and was working in U.S. Department of Commerce in Foreign Commercial Services.
In 1995, Osama bin Laden and his group bombed a U.S.-operated Saudi National Guard building in Riyadh. Five Americans were killed, some of whom Karas knew. After a 1996 bombing in Iran in which 19 U.S. servicemen were killed, people in Jeddah began to get nervous that they might be the next target. In response, Karas’ office COURTESY Ellen Karas moved across the street to the consulate in Jeddah, which was walled off and protected with heavy security. The office also conducted a simulation drill of a bombing, to prepare in the event of an attack. “I’m getting chills thinking about this but you never know what’s ahead down the road…I was ‘injured’ in the simulation and my pretend injury was that I was hit with glass in my left eye,” Karas said. “That was pretend. And we all really didn’t take it seriously. We should have. But we didn’t.” In 1997, when things appeared to have calmed down, the office moved to a professional commercial building, which Karas said was great because it allowed local businessmen to access the building without having to go through levels of security. A Washington, D.C. rep was so pleased with the building that Karas had helped design and decorate that he asked her to go to Kenya on special assignment to do the same thing at their foreign commercial service office, to make it more accessible to the community. Karas had always wanted to visit Africa and was thrilled with the opportunity; her husband less so because he felt it was dangerous. Karas had completed her 30-day temporary duty on Aug.
6, 1998 but was asked to extend her stay to prepare for the visit by the Secretary of Commerce. On the morning of Aug. 7, she was in her office when she heard two really loud backfires. The last thing she remembers was her driver Moses jumping up to look out the windows. When she woke up, she was laying on her back “like a sea turtle” — she could not see and she was pinned down by something and could not move. Her face, chest and arms were full of glass. All she could see was darkness and she was bargaining with God to keep just one eye; extremely frightened, she began to yell to let someone know where she was. She felt hands lifting debris off her and pulling at her arm. She said she was self-conscious about her weight, apologizing to her small Kenyan rescuers about having to lift her. She was in and out of consciousness and terrified as she was taken to the Nairobi Hospital on rough Kenyan roads where she could feel every painful pothole. Karas said she had a near-death experience, having a vision of her son, John, who killed in an auto wreck in 1987. “I remember looking at him, feeling immediately at peace, I felt love surrounding me like a wonderful down comforter and there was no aches, no pain, no fear,” she said. The experience led her to believe that it was not her time and she became determined that she would not die from this. She was transported to the Landstuhl Army Medical Center in Germany, where her husband, Don, was waiting. Karas was the first to be medically evacuated to the Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, D.C. due to the state of her injuries. Secretary of State Madeleine Albright flew home with the bodies of 10 of the 12 Americans killed in the bombing — she visited Karas in the hospital, held her hand and cried. Senator Bob Dole also visited and she could SEE KARAS, A18

‘Champions of Hope’ fundraiser shines light on Crohns disease, colitis RSF philanthropist Richard Helmstetter to be honored at event BY KRISTINA HOUCK Four Solana Beach residents are shining light on Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis. An estimated 18,000 people in San Diego County have one of the two chronic and often debilitating digestive diseases. As supporters of the Greater San Diego and Desert Area Chapter of the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America, locals Debbie Hart, Susan von Posern, Laura Rosenthal and Laurel Smith are organizing the second annual “Champions of Hope” awards dinner March 12 at the San Diego Central Library. “We’re very excited,” Smith said. “The response has been great. Tickets are already sold out.” An estimated 1.6 million American adults and children suffer from Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis. Both conditions can cause diarrhea, bleeding, cramps and fatigue. Many patients must take drugs, which have serious side effects, or undergo surgery to get some relief. No cure exists for either condition, both of which fall under the umbrella of inflammatory bowel diseases. Von Posern, a local attorney, was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis when she was 14 years old. Her son was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease when he was 10. “It affects everybody in different ways,” von Posern said. “For my child, it was a
matter of not growing, which is scary for any child. For me, I can’t keep my temperature in a normal range. The disease is so particular to each patient.” A Solana Beach resident since 1997, von Posern, serves as a board member and general counsel of the local chapter. She, Hart and Smith created the chapter’s “Champions of Hope” awards dinner last March. “It was rewarding and a great time for all,” von Posern said. “Everybody needs a mission and everybody should have a cause,” she added. “This is personal to me, of course, because it’s in my family. Now I have friends with this as well, because all of the fabulous people involved in this organization have become friends over the years.” The Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation is a national organization dedicated to funding research and providing support to patients. Launched in 1980, the local chapter holds a variety of fundraising events each year to benefit research and help patients and their families through educational forums, support groups and other services. Last year, the chapter raised about $1.1 million for the cause. Of that, $110,000 came from the inaugural “Champions of Hope.” The event was so successful, tickets sold out for the fundraiser two months in advance this year. “It’s nice to be able to help in any way I can,” said Smith, a native San Diegan who has lived in Solana Beach for 15 years. A friend and neighbor of von Posern’s, her

Committee co-chairs Debbie Hart, Susan von Posern and Laurel Smith at the inaugural “Champions of Hope” fundraiser last year. niece also has Crohn’s disease. “People suffer very quietly,” she said. “It doesn’t have to be silent. There are people out there to help.” This year’s “Champions of Hope,” will recognize Dr. David Roseman with the Lifetime Achievement Award. A longtime La Jolla resident, Roseman helped launch the local chapter of the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation and served patients for 60 years before recently retiring from Scripps Health. Other honorees include Dr. John Person of Sharp Rees-Stealy Healthcare, who will
receive the Physician of the Year Award, and Rancho Santa Fe philanthropist Richard Helmstetter, who will receive the Rolf Benirschke Legacy Award. Named after the former San Diego Chargers player, Benirschke is also a Rancho Santa Fe resident who has battled ulcerative colitis. “It’s important to recognize people and their efforts on making the world a better place,” said Carly Bazzett, executive director of the Greater San Diego and Desert Area Chapter, which serves San Diego and Riverside counties. “Our three honorees are outstanding members of our community and beyond.” “Champions of Hope” will feature dinner, drinks, entertainment, and live and silent auctions. Although the event is sold out, anyone can donate to the cause or participate in the auction at https://2016hope.auction-bid.org. A total of 210 people are coming to this year’s event, up from last year’s 180 attendees. Event organizers aim to raise $150,000. “I’m hoping the event will bring more exposure to what CCFA can offer those that are affected by this disease and more support so that we can continue to further the research,” Smith said. “The main thing is to make people aware so that we can continue to gather support and can continue to give support.” For more about the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America or the local chapter, visit www.ccfa.org or www.ccfa.org/chapters/sandiego.

TPHS students take action with Red Cross campaign Seeking to teach international humanitarian law through peer education BY KAREN BILLING A group of Torrey Pines High School students are doing their part to raise awareness as part of the American Red Cross’ International Humanitarian Law Action Campaign, which works to educate people on the atrocities of wartime and the laws in place meant to avoid these catastrophes. The campaign seeks to teach international humanitarian law to young people through peer education. Since the program began in 2013, more than 400 volunteers have joined — designing and presenting campaigns to raise awareness and make a difference in their communities. Torrey Pines High School juniors Neela Aghajan, Jennifer Yuan, Hassan Alamar and sophomore Hayder Alamar are part of an 11-member San Diego team, which includes students from Scripps Ranch High School and intern supervisor Kevin Iraniha. They meet once a week after school at the Red Cross’ downtown headquarters. At their meet-ups, the group learns about different aspects of humanitarian law and principles as well as information about current

Hassan said it was eye-opening to learn all about the Geneva Conventions, which regulate the conduct of armed conflict. The laws protect people who are not taking part in the hostilities of war, such as civilians, health workers and aid
workers such as the Red Cross. Each year IHL Campaign teams chose a different subtopic to focus on and past topics have included child soldiers and refugees — the local group has selected torture. Per the Geneva Conventions, captured combatants and civilians are
entitled to respect for their lives, dignity and must be protected against acts of violence or reprisal. Their objective is to get at least 250 people to hear their message and if their presentation is successful, they will be asked by the American Red Cross to present in Washington, D.C. The team will be going up against about 18 others in the country. For their presentation, the local group would like to make a music video and are reaching out to local high schools’ spoken word clubs to participate. “We want to create an interactive story from the perspective of a torture victim,” said Jennifer. The group hopes to hold their event in May, possibly hosting it on the UC San Diego campus. “There are certain misconceptions about torture,” Neela said. “Forty-six percent of Americans agree with the method of torture for interrogation despite its inefficiency. We would like to try to get that number down to zero.” Neela’s hope for the community is that people not be so “narrow-minded and hidebound,” to open their eyes and pay attention to what’s going on in the world and recognize the importance of basic human rights.

NCL San Dieguito Chapter supporting a variety of charities
T
he San Dieguito Chapter of the National Charity League has been actively participating and contributing their philanthropic efforts in a variety of our community charities in the recent past. During its annual We Can! food drive event, the San Dieguito Chapter collected and donated a whopping 35,411 cans and items of food for distribution amongst seven different local charities. This yearly event was a huge success and boasted a chapter high participation rate of 76 percent, according to drive coordinator Caroline Coats. Special recognition was designated for the provisional NCL Class of 2021 who collected 7,696 food items and and had 100 percent participation. The Chapter sincerely thanks Ralph’s Fresh Fare for its ongoing support of this annual food drive. The San Dieguito Chapter also celebrated its annual TickTocker Day with a Olympic-themed event that gathered Ticktockers from all seven currently active years for a fun-filled day of philanthropic work that included making baby blankets, fashioning doggie toys, and dispensing clothing donations. Led entirely by the TickTocker Day Committee, the event was a huge success. In another recent event, Class of 2019 TickTocker Bella Monteparte organized a hands-on event to

CV author receives Community Service Award Carmel Valley resident Sid Shapira, author of “Danny Dog,” the heartwarming, nonfiction children’s book about a rescue dog’s journey to find his forever home, has received the “Outstanding Community Service” certificate of recognition for 2016 from California State Senator Marty Block, 39th District. The certificate was presented in honor of the author’s book, “Danny Dog,” for Outstanding Community Service and for leading and inspiring youth to be involved in community service. Since November 2014, Shapira and “Danny Dog” have made more than 40 school visits throughout San Diego County to share Danny’s story and its important message about pet rescue, adoption and second chances. In 2015, the book was awarded the “Family Choice Award” which recognizes the best in children’s and parenting products and was named to RedRover Reader’s “Recommended Books with Humane Themes” book list. That program helps children explore positive relationships between people and animals through stories and discussion. Authored by San Diego writer, Sid Shapira, Danny Dog is the story of an adorable dog found on the street, taken in and cared for by a pet rescue organization. The book is available on Amazon.

FROM DISTRICTS, A2 failed to monitor, investigate and correct the non-compliance in accordance with the law. “It did not involve the Del Mar Union School District but it affects us because of the judgment,” Superintendent Holly McClurg said. According to a release, the CDE has denied these allegations and is actively defending against the litigation. However as part of the discovery process, the state department has been ordered to produce all data collected on general and special students who have attended a California school at any time since Jan. 1, 2008. McClurg said, for the most part, FERPA protects the privacy of students and requires parental consent before a district discloses personal data but there is an exception when there is a judgment through the court system. FERPA requires the CDE to inform parents and students, and the local districts, such as DMUSD, are doing their part as well. “I encourage parents to be informed,” McClurg said. “It is important and we are not taking it lightly to make sure our parents know about that judgment.” Parents can learn more as well as fill out an objection form at cde.ca.gov/morganhillcase. The form must be mailed before April 1.

Del Mar student selected to participate in California All-State Honor Choir Five Bishop’s students were selected to participate in the prestigious California All-State Honor Choir in San Jose, which took place Feb. 11-13. Senior Douglas Burkhart of Del Mar and sophomore Faizan Jamil of Rancho Santa Fe performed, along with juniors Anna Szymanski and Nico Langlois and senior Samantha Webster. The adventure started in late September, when more than 1,000 students auditioned for regional honor choirs. These five Bishop’s students were selected and performed at Southern California Honor Choir at Redlands University in November 2015. They were graded as top regional honor choir performers, along with others from southern, central and coastal choral programs. The most distinguished vocal educators and conductors from all over California worked with these talented students to develop musical artistry during intense rehearsals at San Jose State University before the All-State Concert at the historic St. Joseph’s Cathedral.

recommendations, several law enforcement suggestions ranked at the top of the list. Many of the community members wanted the city to enforce motorcycle noise laws. The recommendation not only had the most points, resident R. Paul Allen circulated a petition against motorcycles and other vehicles with modified exhausts, citing noise and pollution. Many residents also asked to improve traffic enforcement and requested more rangers to enforce security and laws. With maintenance another top priority, some attendees requested regular street cleaning on side streets. They also suggested lifeguards be in charge of cleaning the beach like in the past. Parking, traffic, trash and dogs were the next highest priorities. Some participants did not want the city to change parking on Camino del Mar north of the bridge. Some did not want angled parking or beach-end parking at all
in Del Mar. Among a variety of traffic suggestions, some suggested implementing traffic circles at 27th and 23rd streets. Others suggested putting reflective paint on streets and stop signs. Regarding trash, some residents said that beach trashcans should be emptied regularly and requested a phone number to call when trashcans are full. A number of residents reiterated that dog rules should be enforced. “It was a healthy way for that community to look differently at their problems,” Parks said. ‘We gave them a chance to talk to one another and see what’s important to others.” In a press release since the meeting, the city announced it is “currently evaluating the identified recommendations and will follow with a proposed course of action.” Some solutions, such as infrastructure improvements to improve circulation and parking, are already being addressed, while others will require additional city resources for consideration by the council, according to the release.

Freedom Alliance presents former Marine, avid surfer with motorized surfboard BY KRISTINA HOUCK Once an avid surfer, former Marine Jorge Ortiz can enjoy the surf again, thanks to Freedom Alliance. The nonprofit organization presented the local veteran with a motorized surfboard during a Troop Appreciation Dinner for roughly 30 injured service members and their families Feb. 28 at Ruth’s Chris Steak House in Carmel Valley. “To see him receive such an incredible gift that I know he’s going to use so well and take full advantage of was a very rewarding, humbling experience,” said Sgt. Reece Lodder, a friend of Ortiz’s who works as the marketing, advertising and public relations director for the Marine Corps recruiting station in Seattle and also serves as a combat correspondent for the Marines. Lodder first met Ortiz in 2009, when they went through training together in Maryland. When they completed training, they were assigned to different infantry units and deployed to Afghanistan, Ortiz in 2010 and Lodder in 2011. Ortiz lost both his legs and several fingers to an IED blast in Afghanistan in January 2011. “After that, we just stayed in touch,” Lodder said. “Jorge and I have become pretty close.” Having connections to Freedom Alliance, Lodder called the organization to make a special request: a motorized surfboard for his friend. Ortiz had been an avid surfer before he sustained his injuries. “We have a great team at Freedom

Alliance,” said Thomas Kilgannon, president of Freedom Alliance. “They researched it, tracked it down, and then it all culminated in a very moving and special ceremony amongst his friends and those who’ve been there with him every step of the way.
“It is always an honor and a privilege to meet people like Jorge,” Kilgannon added. “He’s humble, he’s quiet, he’s a hero. But he doesn’t think of himself as one — the rest of us do.” Freedom Alliance holds Troop
Appreciation Dinners in restaurants across the country several times each year. Based just outside of Washington D.C. in Virginia, Freedom Alliance was founded in 1990 by former Marines Lt. Col. Oliver North and the late Lt. Gen. Edward J. Bronars. The charitable and educational organization sponsors a variety of programs to support and honor service members and their families. Freedom Alliance has awarded more than $10 million in college scholarships to the children of killed or disabled service members. The organization awards more than $1 million in scholarships annually, with 300 students currently on scholarships. Freedom Alliance also supports injured veterans and military families with care packages for deployed troops, all-terrain wheel chairs, outdoor recreational therapy trips, vacations and much more. “Organizations like Freedom Alliance are very important because they help all Americans recognize the sacrifices of those who have either lost friends or family members, or who have had friends or family members be seriously injured while serving their country,” Lodder said. “I’m very grateful to see that the follow on care is not only being provided by military members but also by private citizen groups that come together for no other reason than to just recognize those sacrifices and to assist with continued care and recovery. It’s a real blessing to have.” For more about Freedom Alliance or to donate, visit freedomalliance.org.

www.delmartimes.net FROM BOND, A1 The firm will conduct a 20-minute baseline telephone survey of 300 to 400 registered voters — they will also use a dual mode, via an online survey. Adam Bauer of Fieldman, Rolapp and Associates, said ideally the survey would have a sample size of 600 voters but he does not think that it would be possible. He said there are challenges with phone surveys as many homes no longer have a landline, many send unknown calls to voice mail, and cell phone calls are not always reliable. Using the dual mode method, the said they can buy a larger sample using the secondary method of an electronic email survey. Bauer said with a larger base, you do reduce the margin of error. Bauer said that he was “not alarmed” by the 5.7 percent margin of error, noting the lowest margin of error they could expect to see is 4.7 or 5 percent. “I find it difficult to live with that margin of error and spending the $25,000 and not ending up with a real accurate feel. I would prefer a forum,” Rafner said. Bauer said that the margin of error with a forum would be in the double digits and reiterated that a 5.7 percent margin of error would be reasonable. The survey will ask voters about their preference for a potential general obligation bond or a school facilities improvement district, which is essentially a GO bond but just carving up the district into different boundaries. Only voters within the SFID vote and only the people in the SFID are taxed to
NORTH COAST - MARCH 3, 2016 - PAGE A13
pay the bonds. In 2014, the district developed a comprehensive long-term facilities master plan that identified a list of projects to support and complement the district’s educational goals. The plan represents $126 million in improvements, including transforming libraries to innovation centers, creating modern learning studios at all schools, modernizing the district’s oldest campuses of Del Mar Hills, Del Mar Heights and Carmel Del Mar, and replacing 25-year-old portables with permanent classroom buildings. McClurg said there are 18 such aging portables on district campuses. “Our general fund is very, very limited,” Superintendent Holly McClurg said. “We just don’t have the funds in our general fund to address the significant needs at the sites that are in need of most pressing attention.” Based on a very informal survey at public forums in late 2015, 8 percent were in favor of continuing with the deferred maintenance method the district is doing now, 48 percent favored a GO bond, and 44 percent favored a SFID. “(The survey) would give us more scientifically sound information about how the general population feels about these two bonds,” Halpern said. Gibson said she understood her fellow board members’ hesitations given what happened last time but she said there were a lot of factors in play, including the situation with Poway Unified, in which shortly before the election it was found that Poway’s use of long-term, 40-year capital appreciation bonds would end up
costing taxpayers almost 10 times what was borrowed. DMUSD developed a policy at that time against the use of CABs. “When you did the survey last time you did have the Poway situation, I believe you also had the change in the superintendent, you had opposition and you didn’t have the facility master plan that you do today,” Bauer said. “I think that the facility master plan is the most important things that you’ve done since that point in time.” “The need is well-documented today where it was not as well documented in those days. I do agree that it’s going to be very difficult to get really solid information on those SFID boundaries, but I do think we will get good district-wide data,” Bauer said. “We’re not doing this just to know would a bond pass or not, we’re doing this to also understand how to talk about this and what your community wants.” Gretler wondered if anything could be gleaned from the Solana Beach School District, which also recently polled district residents about going for a bond in 2016. Of the 300 people surveyed, nearly 59 percent said they would definitely or probably vote in favor of a general obligation bond on the ballot, right on the cusp of the 55 percent approval needed. Bauer noted that the most positive takeaway from Solana Beach’s survey was that protecting the environment, public safety and maintaining local property values came in higher than preventing local tax measures.

FROM STUDY, A1 $1,309 per linear foot if constructed in 2026 for a typical 2-foot thick seawall, according to the staff report. For a seawall of 50 feet in length and 2 feet wide without a notch or overhang, the total fee would equate to $431 per linear foot in 2016. A seawall of 50 feet by 2 feet and a notch or overhang of 8.2 feet in depth would result in a total fee of $939 per linear foot in 2016. The fee would increase over a 20-year period to $686 and $1,309 per linear foot, respectively, for these same seawalls if constructed in 2026. According to City Manager Gregory Wade, the actual fee will be dependent upon project-specific conditions including the size and location of the proposed bluff retention device, the amount of beach area that would otherwise be “immediately available” for recreation purposes, and other site-specific factors. The draft fee study was originally released Nov. 18, 2015 through Jan. 22, 2016. Following the 66-day public review period, the
city received six comment letters. Feedback focused on the selection of the economic model, beach area calculation, discount rate and consumer price index, percentage of wages and consumer surplus, surfer expansion factors, block failure assumption, and future fee study updates. In response to the comments, city staff and consultants conducted additional research and analysis. As a result, some of the variables and assumptions used in the fee study were refined, resulting in a modified fee recommendation. Rather than a flat rate, the formula used to calculate the fee now includes both linear- and square-foot components and can be applied on a project specific basis. Among other changes, the beach area was also recalculated and increased from 15.5 acres to 18.8 acres. The fee is required as part of a Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan, which the city adopted in 2013. Comments on the revised draft fee study and land use plan amendment must be submitted by 5 p.m. April 6.

OUR READERS WRITE Salary agreement process is actually quite simple As a relatively new resident of the San Dieguito Union High School District, I was intrigued to read in the Feb. 25 Del Mar Times that the new salary agreement with classified employees, like the recent contract with teachers, was “reached through interest-based and collaborative negotiations.” This certainly sounds like a wonderful process, so I decided to learn the details and be prepared to apply it to my daily life. After doing some research into the recent negotiations with teachers, I discovered that the process is actually quite simple: Several of the employees whose salary is being negotiated sit on one side of the table. Several others of those employees sit on the opposite side of the table. (The two sets of employees at the table are technically in different groups, but both will automatically get the same raise.) The employees tell each other how “dedicated, caring and hardworking” they all are. A number is agreed upon. All employees participating in the process then announce that “both sides left happy with the outcome.” And since no annoying special-interest groups like students, parents or taxpayers were represented at the table, “the talks were civil.” What a great process!

In our small city, the massive Watermark development should be placed on the ballot for the voters to decide its fate. When the zoning of our Community Plan is being changed from one zone to another with such a drastic effect on our quality of life, it should be left to the voters to decide. Encinitas passed Prop A and it is working very well. That proposition simply says that when there is a proposed change in zoning, density or height, the people get to decide if the change goes forward and becomes law. Please put Watermark on the ballot, or, ask the voters to approve all future major zone changes, including the zoning change needed for Watermark. This seems the best way to protect our community plan and quality of life. Let the people decide, “Yes” or “No.” Hershell Price, Del Mar
Watermark does not reflect ‘Del Mar’ Watermark — it is very important that this corner reflect “Del Mar.” Before long, the commercial west side of Jimmy Durante, the residential east side of Jimmy Durante, the homes on San Dieguito Drive from I-5 to this corner, and the homes in the area of Heather Lane, Sea View and Luzon extended will converge at this corner. If the corner is to be residential, whether individual homes, condos or townhomes, I favor architecture similar to Del Mar Woods, the Dominy jewel in the small space between Court and 23rd on Camino del Mar. The two homes on the southwest and northwest corners of 27th
and Camino del Mar, the townhomes on the east side of Camino del Mar at the bridge, the various Del Mar Dean Meredith designs. No flats (living under and over each other), no property line to property line, chock-a-block proliferation like Watermark. If the corner is to be commercial, I favor a lesser version of the Herb Turner Southfair, or Del Mar Tudor architecture. I go back to 1953 in Del Mar, bachelor and married, renter and owner — beach, Luzon, Crest, 15th Street, now 1862 Sea View. I served on both Del Mar and Plaza and L’Auberge Del Mar working committees. (I would rather the Plaza had been done Del Mar Tudor style.) Watermark does not reflect “Del Mar” and should be rejected. RADM Doniphan B. Shelton, USN (ret), Del Mar
Unwarranted criticism My letter to the editor that appeared in the Feb. 4 edition of the Solana Beach Sun, titled ”SB Council Should Pay Attention to History,” was written as a snap judgment to what happened at the Solana Beach City Council meeting regarding appointments to the Budget and Finance Commission. Instead of contacting the council members involved, I relied on word of mouth, which turned out to be inaccurate. Despite some of the other letters being written as political attacks, my letter was not meant to be. Next time I will be sure to contact the council members to discuss their actions before contacting the media with what I now know was unwarranted criticism. Walter Oliver, Solana Beach

FROM WATERMARK, A1 included 54 one- to four-bedroom apartments and townhomes. The 2.3-acre lot is currently used for parking during events at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Because the land is zoned for commercial uses, the property would have to be rezoned as residential to move the project forward. Some neighbors have said they oppose the current plans because they believe the project contains too many units, lacks community character and violates existing height restrictions and setbacks, among other concerns.

Since 1987, the TPHS Scholarship Fund has provided a total of more than $1 million in scholarships to Torrey Pines seniors. “Today, the volunteer, community-based scholarship organization through donations, memorial funds and fundraisers provides an
members briefly echoed some of these concerns, specifically related to the proposed density and height of the project. “My concerns have to do with heights,” board member Bill Michalsky said. “The density concerns me a bit, but we’ll see where it goes,” Only two members of the public spoke during the meeting. Speaking as a resident, Councilman Al Corti said he has reservations about the project, although he is in support of rezoning the site. Corti, whose property is adjacent to the project, has said he is concerned about
average of $40,000 in scholarships per year,” said Mary Stromitis, co-president of the TPHS Scholarship Fund. Formerly known as Dollars for Scholars, the organization became independent in 2013. “Our group’s mission is to provide scholarships for seniors,” said Karin Lang, co-president of the TPHS Scholarship Fund. “So whatever donations the community provides can help our students are a win-win. These kids are our future, and they deserve an affordable college education.” Individuals and companies may make a fully tax-deductible donation of any amount or may designate a specific corporate or named scholarship of $500 or more.

the development team held two Citizens’ Participation Program meetings at the end of January. Del Mar’s Citizens’ Participation Program was created to gather community input on development proposals early in the design review process. Following the two workshops and the informational presentation to the Design Review Board, the development team will give a presentation to the Planning Commission in March. The development team also plans to also hold three public workshops. The first workshop will address density, affordable housing and aesthetics; the second
workshop will cover traffic, pedestrian access and connectivity, and parking; and the third workshop will look at environmental issues. The Design Review Board, Planning Commission and City Council will then hold formal hearings on the project. If approved by the council, the project will go before the Coastal Commission. “Thank you everybody,” said board vice chair Bruce Bekkar at the end of the discussion. “Thank you to the developer for informing us and beginning this process. We look forward to seeing future iterations.”

Everlasting memories of loved ones
Neal McNeil III
May 20, 1973 - February 14, 2016 Solana Beach — Son, brother, uncle, nephew, cousin and dear friend. neal Mcneil III was all those but so much more. neal touched so many people’s lives and was cherished by those he called friends and family. Whether it was his radiant smile that lit up a room, his intoxicating enthusiasm and passion for living life or his steadfast belief in his family, he impacted people in a way that will forever be missed. he was unique in his approach to all things. always striving to better himself, he believed that each person had enormous potential. his love of life and pursuit of excellence drove him to pursue many endeavors. In his short fortytwo years of life he accomplished much. From
building and piloting aircraft, to founding and managing a successful company, he wouldn’t just do something to do it; he would dedicate himself to it and be the best. When his attention wasn’t given to his many passions, both personal and professional, he could be found with his family whom he loved above all else. he was a proud son
who wanted nothing more than to make his mother happy. he was a protective brother, best and trusted confidante to his sister and a doting uncle who was always available for a hug and a smile. The world is a lonelier place without him. neal is survived by his very close knit family: his mother, Judy land; beloved sister, Tahnee hopf; and brother-in-law, Geoff hopf. he was favorite uncle to his adored nieces, Scarlette and Savannah, age 8 and 6. at least once a month he spent time with his life coaches, aunt Jeri Walz and Uncle Rod Walz, and his cousins, Wes Walz and Tyler Walz. neal also had family out of town: his Uncle Jim Welch and aunt Jeanne Welch; and cousins, hannah erbele, Dan Brown, Kym laube and Jonas Welch. his extended family
included: his half-sisters, so important in his childhood, nichole Mcneil (leonard) Smith and lisa Mcneil huse; he was Godfather to his nephew, Trent huse; and loved his nieces, Jessica huse and Kaili Smith; and nephews, Michael and nicholas Smith. he also called many of his close friends brother, as that was the kind of relationship he had with them.

Donald Chester ‘Don’ Union October 6, 1928 - February 27, 2016
La JOLLa — Don Union, 87, passed peacefully on February 27, 2016. He was born in Providence, Rhode Island, to Chester and Ruth (Beedle) Union. Don graduated with a B.a. cum laude in Mathematics from Bowdoin, Maine, followed by a B.S. and M.S. in Electrical Engineering from MIT in 1952. While at MIT, Don learned about control of industrial processes using Differential Equations of Calculus. He applied these processes starting at GE then Shell, IBM, General atomic, culminating with Mammoth Mountain’s lifts and gondolas. While working on a project at IBM for Owens Corning, he invented a unique punch card system that became known as the Table-Driven Program. He applied this program using differential equations of calculus solving a critical problem at Owens Corning factories worldwide. The solution he developed was a filter to handle spikes in the temperature of the massive vats of
molten glass to prevent dangerous explosions that were maiming and killing employees. after Owens Corning bought 14 of these revolutionary systems, IBM patented the filter as the Union Filter. With the birth of his children with his first wife, Vi Morrison Union, his life expanded to creating community platforms for his children’s burgeoning athletic endeavors. He helped bring Pony League (pairing players based on age) to La Jolla Youth replacing Little League (pairing based on skill.) He also helped create a new softball league including
a new field for girls and the same for 4 to 6 year youngsters, called Tee-Ball. Thus, the 70’s were spent coaching baseball, softball, soccer and very active involvement with La Jolla Youth and La Jolla Kiwanis. With his kids raised, Don began a new chapter with Eva Marie Vanderlip on June 1, 1984. They honeymooned by biking throughout Europe for two months staying in B & B’s, highlighted by a thrilling ride in the rain over the austrian alps that was culminated by a car stopping in front of them, the occupants jumping out, then clapping with enthusiasm and disbelief at the audacity exhibited by these 50+ year-old crazy americans. The couple lived in Del Mar, Carmel Valley, Cardiff, Mammoth Lakes and Carlsbad. The Mammoth chapter began with Don’s retirement in 1992 and his dream to ski his days away. Don and Eve thoroughly enjoyed an active outdoor lifestyle of hiking, biking and skiing, often with their 130-pound alaskan Malamute,
“Conan.” They returned to San Diego in 2000. Don leaves his wife of 33 years, Eve Vanderlip Union; two sons, Scott (Kaylin) Union and Eric (Julie) Union; and daughter, Marj Vincent. He was also blessed with five granddaughters; one great-granddaughter; along with two stepsons, Kurt (Caitlin) and Brad Vanderlip; and two stepdaughters, Marcia (Scott) Cairnes and Cynthia Vanderlip. There will be a Memorial Service for Don Union on Sunday, March 6, 2016, at 10:00 am at the Eternal Hills Memorial Park located at 1999 El Camino Real, Oceanside, Ca 92054. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests a memorial contribution to the San Diego Symphony (www. sandiegosymphony. org), american Heart association, 7272 Greenville avenue, Dallas, TX 75231 (www. donatenow.heart.org) or the charity of your choice.

FROM POLO FIELDS, A2 Madaffer said that Surf is aware that the traffic can be “nightmarish.” Toward the end of 2015, Surf employed a new ingress and egress on Via de la Valle to help eliminate traffic build-ups on El Camino Real. “It’s made a huge difference,” Madaffer said, however several neighbors in attendance said that the difference was not for the better. “If you’re coming from the Flower Hill Mall area, good luck,” said resident Mike Scott. Scott and other neighbors say the new traffic pattern brings up an “unbelievable” amount of dust and dirt to their homes and has added more signage and cones to Via de la Valle, as well as a significant amount of mud and dirt clots tracked out onto the road. Some neighbors said they feel that the change to allow recreational sports use was a “huge betrayal” of public trust, when the land was meant to be passive, open space. Neighbors complained that even though it’s not counted as an “event,” regular soccer practices can bring up to 100 cars parked at the fields on a week day. Soccer activity also brings 7 a.m. whistles and practices that last well after dark. “It’s children playing,” Madaffer said. “I’m sorry you have to live next to children playing.” Madaffer said that 95 percent of the time, the place is quiet and open and Surf provides maintenance to the 60 acres at no cost to the taxpayers. They are also promising continued public access for trail use, equestrians, bird watchers in new bird blinds or to just go out and throw a Frisbee on the grass when soccer is not in play. “We want to be an active part of the community and we want to hear any concerns that you have,” Madaffer said. “We will commit to coming back to this planning group as often as you want us. “We want to work with everybody and the neighbors. We want to be sensitive to the concerns, we want to be sensitive to traffic, we want to be sensitive to noise, we want to be sensitive to the mud, all of the issues that you’ve talked about. We don’t want problems so if there is a problem we want to fix it and make it better.”
FROM KARAS, A5 hear him crying. It was upsetting to be laying in a hospital bed, unable to see and everyone who visited crying as if she were dying. She asked her husband why people were crying and how bad she looked. He painted a “gruesome” scene, telling her quite honestly that she looked like she had been in a bombing — she was badly burned, her face was swollen and her eyes were just slits — in a small miracle, she had no broken bones, just a dislocated elbow. She went through a hard, long nine months in the hospital. At times she felt lost but she never lost hope. “I went through what every wounded soldier goes through,” Karas said. “I have such respect for these men who put their lives on the line for us so that we can have the freedom we have. We should never forget them. Never.” Karas went through extensive rehab and surgeries, going to the Louisiana Center for the Blind to re-learn how to live without sight. Karas’ life took another unexpected turn when she accepted the full-time care of her granddaughter, Allie, when she was just 13 days old. With the help of resources and aids, Karas learned how to care for a baby without the use of sight. The first time she successfully gave Allie a bath she felt like she had conquered a mountain. With tricks like putting bells on Allie’s shoes so she would know where the youngster was, she has been able to “muddle through” and find the good for the last 18 years. “There’s times that are extremely difficult,” Karas said. “But life is full of joys and we need to focus on those.” She still has emotional scars from the bombing, grapples with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder but said she is never hopeless. At times she is “downright aggravated” but never hopeless. “Good has come out of the bombing for me. Being blind isn’t exactly great. But I’m alive. I’m well. I can speak, I can dance. I even horseback ride. I can do almost anything,” Karas said. “All the worrying is not going to give you one extra minute of life. You are not in control. The only thing you can control is your attitude. You really can’t even control your breath. Your attitude and how you deal with other people is all you can control.”

Grand opening held for Pacific Trails Middle School BY KAREN BILLING San Dieguito Union School District (SDUHSD) celebrated its newest and 10th school with a grand opening and dedication of Pacific Trails Middle School on Feb. 26. The celebration was held inside the newly completed gym that features shades of the school colors of gray, blue and green. The Pacific Trails band serenaded guests that included school board members, district staff, Assembly Member Brian Maienschein, County Supervisor Dave Roberts and San Diego City Council President Sherri Lightner. “The Wolfpack” and its campus den has been growing since the school welcomed students in fall 2015. Across the quad from the gym and the two-story building full of state-of-the-art classrooms, the newly completed nutrition services building is now up and running, as well as the learning commons. “With the support of our board, staff, business and community partners, parents and amazing students, I’m confident this school, like our other nine, will be world class in every way,” SDUHSD Superintendent Rick Schmitt said. Leaders Lightner and Roberts remarked how great it is to see amenities come on line in the area — the neighborhood did not look like it does today when they took office in 2008 and 2013 respectively. “I know how important this middle school is for this community and I’m so happy to be here today,” Lightner said, noting how pleased she was that before the end of her term in office she has seen the addition of schools, parks and Village businesses that help Pacific Highlands Ranch become the vibrant, liveable and walkable community it was envisioned to be. SDUHSD President Beth Hergesheimer said

In less than three years, Prop AA has touched each and every campus,” Schmitt said. “When all of our Prop AA projects are completed, each school will be expanded to meet growing enrollment needs and will be modernized or finished. Finishing a school, for example, means Torrey Pines, which is 42 years old and is still without a theater. Plans are
underway to get that theater built soon.” Schmitt joked: “We really do have long-range facility plans.” Schmitt noted that Pacific Trails Principal Mary Anne Nuskin has been instrumental in every phase of the development of this school — she dreamed up the best way to support kids and help build a positive culture in the school’s first year. Nuskin said her students, the high school class of 2021, have built a school community in the spirit of kindness. They have learned about social and physical wellness, participated in a charity food drive, picked their Wolf mascot and recently unveiled the school logo, tended
to the blooming campus garden, and the girls field hockey team won the championship recently. The school also host its first dance Feb. 26. “I’m so excited to watch our school grow,” Nuskin said. “Pacific Trails is truly the school I envisioned it to be.” Pacific Trails will only hold the distinction as the district’s newest school for the next 18 months as the new Earl Warren Middle School campus is set to open next year. “In my opinion, the two most beautiful, student-friendly and environmentally tuned-in middle schools in the county are here in San Dieguito,” Schmitt said.

Local author to hold workshop to help women navigate life’s issues BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley’s Janet Larson, the author of “My Diary Unlocked,” is bringing the companion workshop to her book to the Carmel Valley Recreation Center, an effort to help women break down the barriers that keep them from reaching their full potential. “Journey Into Your Soulself” is a seven-week course held on Tuesday nights from March 15 through May 3. Her hope is that, by the end of the class, women will feel empowered to stay true to themselves and share their unique gifts as they continue the quest for peace, joy and happiness. “Life is a journey, as long as we’re alive there is always room to learn and grow,” Larson said. Larson has come a long way in her journey—she grew up in an alcoholic home and was raised with negative beliefs and perceptions about herself. “I felt like I wasn’t good enough for anyone or anything but there was a conflict inside me because I still had a spark where I knew there was something better in life,” Larson said. She struggled with unhealthy relationships and waves of depression and anxiety because she didn’t honor her own thoughts and feelings. After hitting a low point, she decided to make a change and nurture the part of herself that was yearning for more. Larson stumbled on her own diary from high school and was moved by the raw, uncensored expressions of her feelings. Reading her diary gave her a greater appreciation of the contrast between the girl she used to be and the woman she had become. The realization empowered her to “more purposefully chart a course to even greater freedom” and to share her secrets with others. “My Diary Unlocked,” is an anthology composed of thousands of real diary entries detailing issues that everyone faces paired with research and the tools Larson learned. The book describes her system with the “Freeing Your BEING Compass,” a tool that can be used to navigate life. She developed a course based on that compass which she has taught in places such as Yoga Del Mar and, last year, she ran a class out of her home with a dozen women. “We just had incredible breakthroughs,” she said of the women’s work on issues such as relationships, work direction and
The “Freeing Your BEING Compass” used in the upcoming workshops in Carmel Valley.

The seven-week workshop at the Carmel Valley Recreation Center will lead a circle of women through the steps of the compass and “BEING,” Larson’s own spin on mind, body and spirit, which includes “Body, Emotions, Imagination, Natural Self and Genius Mind.” “We learn that our bodies do not define us but they are a conduit to our soul to share our humanity. We learn techniques to come to terms with healthy expression of our emotions that really honors our inner truth,” Larson said. “We learn the power of our imagination…we start to plug into where we want to be in our lives and where we want to go.” With the “Natural Self,” participants will learn about how to live in integrity with who we are in our nature, and with the session on the “Genius Mind,” they will learn about how to tap into the inner genius that Larson believes everyone has inside of them. As a whole, Larson said women will learn to be more mindful. She likens it to being a bird perched in the corner of one’s mind — to be able to see the big picture view of all of life’s choices and how to keep clear of roadblocks along the way. No longer trapped by self-doubt and negative thoughts, Larson has big goals for the future. She is currently looking for an auditorium or venue in the area to share diary entries from “My Diary Unlocked” and to hold a discussion to bring awareness and insights into critical topics that affect everyone, including body image, healthy emotional expression, the challenges of addictions, anxiety, depression, dealing with the loss of a loved one, bullying and negative self-talk. Right now she is working with students in the drama department at Canyon Crest Academy, who have used the book’s diary entries in their curriculum. Larson leads discussions of the content that the students have performed in their reads. “Those diary entries are just magic, in terms of getting straight to the core of issues,” Larson said. To register for the course, visit SDRecConnect.com and search using the course number 23940. For more on the book, visit mydiaryunlocked.com. The book is available for purchase on Amazon.

Hipster comedian, Lord Buckley, ‘onstage’ at North Coast Rep
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Listen up, all you cats and kitties! If you’ve got a taste for cool, jazzy language and the music to go with it, make the scene at North Coast Repertory Theatre on March 7 or 8 for a two-nights-only performance of “His Royal Hipness Lord Buckley,” with the show’s star and creator, Jake Broder. Lord Buckley (1906-1960) was a comedian who carved out a niche for himself in the original hipster scene more than 60 years ago with a self-bestowed title and a special blend of Brit-inflected English and the verbal equivalent of a bebop trumpet solo. His unique proto-rap style influenced Bob Dylan, Robin Williams and Richard Pryor, and he’s all over YouTube these days. Jake Broder, who lived and worked in London for 15 years before settling down in Los Angeles, is an actor/writer whose credits range from playing Mozart in the London and New York productions of “Amadeus” to co-writing and co-starring in the award-winning two-hander “Louis and Keely: Live at the Sahara” at the Geffen Playhouse in L.A. Broder first discovered Lord Buckley on a record album someone gave him in the late 1990s when he was performing with The Reduced Shakespeare Company. “I loved
comedy and the history of comedy, and this guy was funny as hell,” Broder said in a recent interview. “He took things you already knew — Shakespeare, Jesus, the Gettysburg Address — and codified them in hip-talk, the language of jazz musicians in the 1940s. He combined comedy and the classics, and his take on them was magnificent.” So Broder took some of the comedian’s best-known routines and turned them into a show that won over audiences in New York, London and Los Angeles. “Every show is a little different,” he said. “Lord Buckley’s humor was subversive, so we update some of the references to make them work today. And we add timely new bits, in his style, to keep the subversive element alive.” Lord Buckley, Broder noted, was a great humanist, too. “He was waving a civil rights flag at a time it was dangerous to do that. He celebrated the language of black musicians, and he was the white guy on the bus with them, opening for their acts, rapping to jazz. If you listen to Kendrick Lamar now, in a lot of ways, it’s the same form — preaching to the beat, trying to tell the truth from that pulpit. Lord Buckley did it with comedy, the comedy of love and uplift.” The updated show, including a

Del Mar Pines School completes expansion Open house to be held March 16 Del Mar Pines School recently announced that its new two-story building is complete and ready for use. For over 38 years, Del Mar Pines School has been a leading private K-6th grade elementary school in Carmel Valley San Diego. Having a new building was a longtime dream of school Director Marci McCord. With the help of the Del Mar Pines Foundation for Education, generous parents, alumni and a matching gift from the Gallagher family, that dream has just come true. McCord said, “After a year of fundraising and construction, I am very excited about the new opportunities for learning and deeper exploration our students can now benefit from.” The campus expansion created a new sixth grade class room and library in the new building and made room for a dedicated science/ Spanish lab and performing arts room with new stage risers. These enriching programs and many others are a standard part of the Del Mar Pines School curriculum, but until now, many of these classes were taught in shared use spaces. The Foundation granted $400,000 towards the new building which included a generous matching funds donation of $100,000 from Michael and Linda Gallagher. At a recent school event, Phil Scott, President of the Del Mar Pines Foundation for Education, thanked families and staff who all helped to make this

Directors of Ballet Arte, Sara Viale and Erlends Zieminch with their students at the YAGP Award Ceremony.
Ballet Arte Academy directors and students honored at competition BY JULIE KENYON Last month the largest ballet student scholarship competition in the world, The Youth America Grand Prix (YAGP), held its semi-finals in San Diego. The competition is open to students 9-19 and reaches over 7,000 dance students annually by holding auditions in approximately 15 U.S. cities and five international locations. Each season culminates in the New York finals, where more than 1,200 young dancers receive mentoring and greater scholarship, professional and performance opportunities.

Next Friends of Jung lecture to be held March 11 in Del Mar Friends of Jung will hold a lecture Friday, March 11, at 7:30 p.m. at The Winston School in Del Mar. The Winston School is located at 215 9th St. Del Mar, 92014. Fee: $20 non-members. The event will feature speaker Dr. Lionel Corbett who will discuss “Depth Psychological Approaches to Suffering.” When suffering strikes us, we are often forced to try to find some meaning in it, and we need a framework through which we may understand it. Traditional religions all offer explanations for suffering and the reasons for it, but depth psychology has its own approaches. This lecture will describe some ways in which we may search for meaning in suffering, an approach to suffering thought of as an experience of initiation into a new level of consciousness, and an approach to suffering based on radical acceptance. For more information, visit www.jungsandiego.com.
Corbett trained in medicine and psychiatry in England and as a Jungian Analyst at the C. G. Jung Institute of Chicago. Corbett is a professor of depth psychology at Pacifica Graduate Institute, in Santa Barbara, Calif., where he teaches depth psychology. He is the author of numerous professional papers and three books.

Let’s do lunch with the Kitchen Shrink Instead of cooking (and making a mess) in my kitchen seven days a week, I’m venturing out. I’d like to share with you some local gems I discovered around town so you too can enjoy the richness and diversity of San Diego cuisine, and the bounty from our soils and seas. Farmer & the Seahorse, a gathering retreat just a stone’s throw and a pitching wedge from the Torrey Pines Golf Course instantly pulled me in. The waggish name for starters. According to marine biologist and author Helen Scales, “Seahorses remind us that we rely on the seas not only to fill our dinner plates, but also to feed our imaginations.” The seahorse is indeed one of nature’s wonders as it is the only species on the planet where the male actually gets pregnant and gives birth — my hero. This agrarian diner meets coastal culinary haven is the latest venture of celebrity chef and San Diego denizen Brian Malarkey who brings his inventive and kitschy culinary talents to the sustainable table. To Chef Brian, “Farmer & the Seahorse is more than a restaurant — it’s a lifestyle.” This is apparent from the approach to the property, which is both whimsical and welcoming -- a giant red McCormick tractor staged outside the patio and neatly manicured lawn used for such
games as Croquet or Corn Hole. Inside there’s a silver vintage Airstream trailer permanently parked smack in the center of the eatery. Natural elements from the rustic log ceiling beams and hardwood floors to huge hand-painted murals of sea and landscapes and scalloped aquamarine-colored booths feed the eyes. Now for the food part. Enjoy a worldly menu of seasonal and sustainable offerings from land and sea, including greens, herbs, shoots, and tomatoes sourced from sister restaurants Green Acre and Nautilus, along with fresh catches from the Baja and California coasts (except for the Maine lobster). Saladphiles can choose from Kale Caesar with pecorino cheese and an anchovy vinaigrette, a King Cobb with goat cheese and free range chicken, a Shrimp Louie Louie with peppadew peppers, capers, green beans and a skewer of plump roasted shrimp, or a confetti of wheat berries, roasted apples, feta, watercress, and edamame. A selection of “Blue Plates” ranges from a colossal New England Lobster Roll with lemon aioli on a toasted brioche for a whale of an appetite (recipe below), and local cod, homemade tartar sauce and garden chips to a
butternut squash lasagna, and Airline Chicken (first class, of course) with braised kale, celery root puree and cherry jus. For traditionalists there’s always the grass fed burger with all the fixings. Finally, the “Breaded Wonders” feature the heavy-hitting Crab Cake Club dressed with applewood smoked bacon, avocado, crispy onion and Meyer lemon aioli. You can always add a “Bright Side” of rustic baby beets roasted in their skins with feta cheese and salsa verde, curry-roasted carrots with yogurt and mint, or sautéed green beans in preserved lemon and garlic. For an immune boosting powerhouse brew (especially during flu season), try the daily bone broth tea made from either organic chicken or grass fed beef, including the collagen, feet, joints and tendons infused with lemongrass and ginger or cayenne and beets. If you still have some room left over, you can get your just desserts with a silky butterscotch pot de crème, a dark hazelnut brownie, a warm giant chocolate chip cookie sprinkled with sea salt or gluten free offerings, including walnut coffee cake with almond meal, and oatmeal raisin cookies. And, of course, to wash it down nicely there are plenty of interesting coffees and teas, along with invigorating smoothies like the Green Man (avocado, green tea syrup, kale and almond milk) or the Dragon Berry (acai puree, banana, seasonal berries). They also serve some farm fresh breakfast choices at the crow of the rooster, and creative bites for happy hour on Thursdays and Fridays. From the kitchen of the Farmer & the Seahorse to yours, here’s Chef Brian Malarkey’s divine lobster roll recipe for both sea and land lovers. Ahoy!
Farmer & the Seahorse Lobster Roll 8 ounces Maine lobster meat (tail and claw), or local spiny lobster when available, chopped ½ stalk of celery, diced Lemon Mayo: 1/2 cup mayo Zest and juice from 1/2 lemon (Meyer or Eureka) Pinch of fresh parsley and dill Sea salt, cracked black pepper and paprika to taste. In a mixing bowl combine lobster and celery. In a small bowl blend the mayo ingredients. Mix 5 tablespoons of the mayo (adjust to taste) with the chopped lobster, and serve on a toasted brioche. Farmer & the Seahorse 10996 Torreyana Road, Ste. 240, San Diego, 92121. Reservations: 858-260-5401. ■ For comments email kitchenshrink@san.rr.com.

SPONSORED COLUMNS research, more than 30,000 individuals die on highways annually every single year, and accidents involving larger trucks are responsible for about 1 in 7 of those fatalities.
MICHAEL PINES Accident & Injury Legal Advice 858.551.2090
New Research Study to Determine Whether Truckers Can Have Relaxed Sleeping Regulations It is well-known that trucking accidents are some of the most common and deadly across not just California but the United States. According to government
Federal trucking regulations have been a focus of the national attention over the last 20 years, and a new research study to be completed by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute will determine whether more freedom and flexibility could be infused into those regulations without impacting safety. The new research study is part of a partnership with the Federal Motor
Carrier Safety Administration, and it will explore the experiences of 200 long-haul truck drivers who will not be required to commit to the consecutive 8 hour sleeping requirement in their truck cab. Recent news stories such as the Walmart driver who seriously injured comedian Tracy Morgan in New Jersey have led Congress and members of the public to be more concerned about trucker safety. One of the most important regulations being explored in this study is that involving sleeper berths. Compartments in the truck cabs where drivers sleep are currently an important part of their rest procedure. In 2008, changes were made
to the law to require that truckers spend a minimum of 8 of their 10 hours of in-cab requirement in the berth during just one period. The research study will explore whether or not it makes a difference to have 8 hours in one particular period or not. If you or someone you know has been injured in a trucking accident, getting medical help as soon as possible could make a big difference on your ability to heal and move on with your life. For advice or legal help, contact us at 858-551-2090 or visit our website at https:// seriousaccidents.com/.

Pomodoro, is a 2-year-old Korean Mastiff mix. This beautiful girl was one of the 29 dogs rescued from a Korean Dog Meat farm in September 2015. She had been adopted once previously but was not a good fit for the home and needed additional time w/her trainer before transitioning into a home. Pomodoro was raised in deplorable conditions similar to conditions found in puppy mills. She was kept in small, cramped cage, w/ limited access to food/ water. Because of her history, she needs a patient/loving family willing to help her transition. She needs an adult-only home without other pets. She has shown her caregivers the power of positive reinforcement training showing she can be a cuddly companion who loves give kisses.Pomodoro is available for adoption at San diego Humane Society’S San diego camPuS, 5500 gaineS Street.

Robyn Raskind recognized as a Five Star Agent for sixth consecutive year For the sixth year in a row, Robyn Raskind, a Realtor-Sales Associate in the Rancho Santa Fe-Fairbanks Ranch office of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, has been recognized by San Diego Magazine and Five Star Professional as a Five Star Agent. “The Five Star award identifies San Diego agents who provide exceptional Robyn Raskind service and overall satisfaction as rated by clients, peers, and industry experts,” Branch Manager Liz Piccolomini said. “This is yet another great honor for Robyn, a consistent top-producer for Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, who is celebrating her 35th year in real estate. This year’s winners are a part of a select group of fewer than 7 percent of local agents.” “As part of the Five Star nomination process, recent homebuyers are asked to assess real estate agents with whom they have worked and evaluate them based on 10 criteria,” said Raskind, who lives in Carmel Valley and has specialized in homes sales there since its inception. “They can critique up to two real estate agents in order to measure the experience associated with the purchase and sale side of a move.
“I like to think I won again due to my personal brand of marketing expertise, negotiation, and top-quality customer service. For me, client satisfaction is everything, and each of my clients is a client for life.” Raskind is a recipient of the company’s elite Legend Award, which places her among sales associates who have earned the prestigious Chairman’s Circle Award at least five times. Chairman’s Circle Award designees are in the top 5 percent of agents nationwide for residential sales. Fluent in Spanish, Raskind gives back by to her community by raising funds for Israel and Helen Woodward Animal Center. In her free time, she enjoys Pilates, playing golf, spending time with family and friends at the beach, and attending cultural events. An avid golfer, Raskind specializes in the golf communities of The Santaluz Club, Crosby National Golf Club, Fairbanks Ranch Country Club, Del Mar Country Club, The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe, Morgan Run Club & Resort, Aviara Golf Club, and Lomas Santa Fe Executive Golf Course. Her career, spanning its 35th year, gives her the expertise and unique territory selling not only The Ranch, but also the coast from La Jolla, Carmel Valley, and Del Mar to Oceanside.

ENGIE subsidiary OpTerra opens Solana Beach office OpTerra Energy Services, an Oakland-based energy services company that has achieved $2 billion in energy savings for its partners to date, has opened a new office in Solana Beach to support the region’s growing sustainability needs in both the private and public sector. OpTerra was recently acquired by global energy player, ENGIE, headquartered in Paris, France. ENGIE, which operates in the U.S. through its subsidiary GDF SUEZ, is an expert operator in electricity, natural gas, and energy services. The new OpTerra branch will be located at 201 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Suite 480 in Solana Beach. OpTerra works with private- and public-sector facilities to reduce energy consumption and energy cost, enabling customers to save valuable dollars that can be redirected to address other, mission-critical priorities. The company works with customers
in K-12, higher education, and local government institutions, as well as commercial and industrial entities in industries such as biotechnology, healthcare, hospitality, data centers, supermarkets, and more. OpTerra has already helped advance San Diego’s sustainable energy economy through projects with the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) and the City of Solana Beach. A 2MW solar project was completed at SDUHSD with an anticipated energy savings of over $10 million for the district. OpTerra also reduced annual energy consumption for the City of Solana Beach by upgrading more than 500 streetlights to highly efficient LED lighting, installing a “cool roof” and a new HVAC system at City Hall – saving more than $40,000 in its first year alone.
