Council discusses ways to beat bark beetles

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although Del Mar has been beating bark beetles on public property, city officials are concerned that beetle-infested trees on private property could make it more difficult to contain infestations.

From education to enforcement programs, the Del Mar City Council on March 7 discussed new ways to keep the bugs at bay. “The bark beetles are here,” said Assistant City Manager Mark Delin. “They’re damaging our local Torrey pines. They’ve been hitting the

Torrey Pines Reserve for some time.” Torrey pines are a rare and protected type of pine tree that grows primarily along the coastal bluffs in San Diego County just south of Del Mar. Of the 4,600 Torrey pines at Torrey Pines State

Grammy Award-winning Lady Antebellum will help open the fair with a June 5 show on opening weekend. The board of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which manages the state-owned Del Mar Fairgrounds, approved the $300,000 contract for the country music group at the Feb. 9 meeting. The board approved a number of other contracts with a list of performers at its March 8 meeting.

San Diego-based alternative rock band Switchfoot is back and will rock the fair opening day. Platten will take the stage June 8. Other performers include pop singer Michael McDonald on June 10, Latin singer Espinoza Paz on June 12, alternative rock band X Ambassadors on June 15, rock band 3 Doors Down on June16, Latin singer Roberto Tapia on June19, and country star Kenny Rogers with special guest Linda Davis on June 22.

BY JARED WHITLOCK The San Diego County Sheriff’s Department is exploring whether to purchase camera-toting drones for locating missing people, aiding SWAT teams and assessing raging wildfires. Lt. Jason Vickery said the Sheriff’s Department is in the early stages of getting feedback on drones, and if the agency ultimately embraces them, drones would be used in all contract areas. In North County, that includes Encinitas, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe and more. "They would be used in emergencies and life-saving circumstances," Vickery said. Privacy advocates throughout the nation have argued that police drones could enable the government to illegally track people. But Vickery stressed that drones wouldn’t be deployed for mass surveillance. Instead, he said they could save lives in a number of situations, from inspecting suspicious packages to helping a SWAT team decide how to proceed if armed suspects barricade themselves in a home. "They can get very close to windows or entryways," said Vickery of drones, which he preferred to call unmanned aerial vehicles, or UAVs. SEE DRONES, A18

San Dieguito Union High School District trustee proposes term limits BY PAT MAIO A San Dieguito Union High School District trustee is proposing the district consider term limits for school board members. “It makes sense to get some turnover,” said John Salazar, who has been serving on the San Dieguito board since 2010. He said he plans to bring up the proposal at the board’s March 10 meeting and ask his colleagues to put a term-limit measure on the November ballot. “Board members start thinking they are part of the administration and lose touch,” Salazar said. “If we had term limits, it would make it easier for people to get elected to the board who had kids still in school. They are more affected by what goes on.” No school district in San Diego County has term limits, according to Michael Vu, with the San Diego County Registrar of Voters. School district elections are nonpartisan, though politics sometimes rears its head. In the San Dieguito district, Salazar and Maureen “Mo” Muir are Republicans; board members Joyce Dalessandro, Beth Hergesheimer and Amy Herman are Democrats. Salazar said under his proposal, terms already served by current trustees would not count against them — each

could still be elected to two additional four-year terms. The district’s longest-serving trustee is Dalessandro, who was first elected 20 years ago. Hergesheimer has been a trustee since 2000, Herman since 2010, and Muir since 2014. Dalessandro and Hergesheimer are up for reelection in the fall, though neither has said whether they plan to run. Candidates must file campaign papers between July 18 and Aug.12. Dalessandro said she’s unlikely to support Salazar’s proposal. “Term limits limit the choice the public has,” she said. “If you have a great board member, they then can get termed out. What is the intelligence there?” “It takes a long time to learn the ins and outs of a school district. It’s a very long learning process,” Dalessandro added. Muir said she hasn’t formed a strong opinion on term limits. “I support the voters and what they think. I’m open to the idea of what people want,” said Muir, who is married to Encinitas Councilman Mark Muir. “I feel like I have a self-imposed term limit already,” she added. She served for six years on the Encinitas Union School District board, but did not run again after her son transitioned into the high school district.

Salazar is no stranger to controversy in the San Dieguito district. He was the lone board member to oppose Proposition AA, a $449 million bond initiative approved by voters in November 2012 to build and upgrade schools and classrooms throughout the sprawling 12,600-student district, which stretches from south Carlsbad to Carmel Valley. He co-authored the opposing viewpoint in ballot materials distributed in advance of the election. “The proposal was 100 percent funded by developers and they’re getting contracts,” he said. “I pretty much oppose all school bonds because people pay too much on things not needed.” “Building new structures doesn’t provide better education,” Salazar said. School critic Paul Gaspar, who runs an Encinitas-based physical therapy firm, said he plans to run for the San Dieguito board this fall. Gaspar, who is married to Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar, said he would support term limits if it could shake up the 3-2 split that now exists on the school board. “We need people in there who know what they are doing,” and interested in kids’ health and safety, he said. — Pat Maio is a writer for the San Diego Union-Tribune

Parking relief coming to Del Mar Highlands shopping center Three-level parking structure scheduled to open by late fall 2016 BY KAREN BILLING Del Mar Highlands Town Center’s addition of a new three-level parking garage is moving along without delay as long as El Niño rains hold off, according to property manager Russ Monroe. “The parking structure construction is on time and on track to be open by the end of the year,” Monroe said in an update to the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board on March 25. “We’re anticipating an opening by late fall of 2016.” The parking garage hopes to offer a solution for parking woes at the busy center, bringing 600 extra parking stalls. There will be three ways to enter the garage: from Townsgate Drive, from a drive in between Carnitas Snack Shack and Urban Plates on the lowest level and from behind Jimbo’s. Monroe said the latest Highlands renovation will also include the expansion of Cinepolis from an eight to 11-plex theater—it is expected to be complete by the end of the year. At the meeting, Del Mar Highlands General Manager Elizabeth Schreiber announced that she has retired after 30 years with Donahue Schriber, where she served as a vice president. Schreiber will now focus her attention on working with International Justice Mission, a non-profit that fights against slavery worldwide.

SFID customers asked to curtail water use as temperatures soar Temperatures soared in February and so has customers’ water usage, causing Santa Fe Irrigation District (SFID) to miss the water conservation target imposed by the State. Water demands in February for the district were up 1 percent when compared with February 2013. According to meteorologists, February’s average high temperature was 74.5 degrees, well above the previous highest February average of 72.1 set in 1951. With the sparse rainfall and high temperatures, the district is seeing a climb in water demands and is asking its customers to keep conserving. If the El Niño fails to bring substantial rains, and the high temperature continues, it may become increasingly difficult for customers to maintain their water reduction goals. Customers asked to keep conserving. The district is reminding customers to keep conserving and to visit the district website, facebook and twitter pages, which all have extensive conservation information. The website also offers links to a variety of rebates and incentives for conserving water. The district reminds customers that if they are planting this spring to take advantage of the opportunity to transition to low water use plantings that can save water, are easier to maintain, and will remain attractive through this and future droughts.

Bob & Kathy Angello

Clayton Tschudy, director of horticulture at the Water Conservation Garden at Cayumaca College, offered three water saving tips for home landscapes: • Choose climate- and soil-appropriate plants, particularly plants adaptive to San Diego’s arid climate. • Mulch for reducing water needs. • Use water-efficient irrigation, particularly irrigation that can be adaptive to individual plants. “Choose the right plants from the get-go,” Tschudy suggested. Customers have responded but continuing efforts needed. Overall, since the state-mandated cutbacks were put in place in spring of 2015, Santa Fe Irrigation District customers have responded with a 32 percent overall reduction in water use compared to 2013. The district’s target is 36 percent. Be prepared for continuing arid conditions. The El Niño rains may have come and gone, or there could be more rain in March. Either way, since drought is an ongoing fact of life in semi-arid San Diego County it is wise to continue focusing on conservation and transitioning landscapes to low water use plants and water-efficient irrigation.

Investor focused on curing cancer through ‘revolutionary’ treatment BY JOE TASH Ralph Whitworth learned in 2014 that his cancer, which originated at the base of his tongue, had returned in a much more virulent form after aggressive treatment had put it in remission for a year. The disease, called squamous cell carcinoma, is highly curable in its initial stages, but the prognosis is dire when it returns. “It is just a vicious, lethal disease in its recurrent stage,” said Whitworth, a Rancho Santa Fe resident who co-founded a San Diego investment firm. “It’s a disease without an effective treatment. That’s what I had. So we said, let’s get (a treatment).” At the time of his recurrence, doctors said Whitworth had eight months to live. But he has clearly beaten those odds and on Wednesday, March 2, he stood on a stage at the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club and told about 300 invited guests about his battle against cancer and the effort he has supported to find a new, promising treatment for his disease and other forms of cancer. Whitworth and a panel of doctors and scientists talked about the potential of immunotherapy — a cancer treatment in which the body’s immune system is trained to target and kill cancer cells — to not only push back cancer’s advances, but to banish the disease forever. “Immunotherapy s undergoing an amazing revolution. It is the most exciting

area of cancer therapy,” said Dr. David Brenner, dean of UC San Diego’s medical school and one of the speakers at Wednesday’s event. “That you can use your own immune system to kill cancer cells is transformational.” Dr. Ezra Cohen, who is treating Whitworth and is also part of a team working to advance immunotherapy as a weapon against cancer, said, “For the first time ever, as an oncologist... we now begin to believe ... we’re going to eliminate this disease in our lifetime.” Once his cancer came back, Whitworth said, he decided that he wanted to help speed up development of immunotherapy as an effective anti-cancer treatment. “The faster we get this done, the more people we can help,” he said. “We can’t wait around. Speed is important here.” Whitworth said he and his wife, Fernanda, are committed to supporting the research whether or not the advances come in time to help him in his own cancer battle. To that end, the couple have launched the nonprofit Immunotherapy Foundation, as well as provided a seven-figure grant to UC San Diego to support immunotherapy research. The university has used the funds to build and outfit two labs, as well as bring together a team of doctors and scientists to carry out the research. The program is based at UC San Diego’s Moores Cancer Center, and it is supported

Speaker Ralph Whitworth. by the La Jolla Institute of Allergy and Immunology. Whitworth said the purpose of the Garden Club event, which was hosted by his friends, Brenda and Bruce Kleege, was to “raise awareness of this. If there’s a way you can find to help on this, and there’s a lot of ways to do it, then pitch in.” Bruce Kleege, who introduced Whitworth, called his friend “the most interesting man in the world. ‘Can’t do it’ is not in his vocabulary. He’s always there to help with anything you need.” A 2014 article on the Bloomberg Business website said that Whitworth stepped down from his position as interim chairman of the Hewlett-Packard Co. Board of Directors to focus on his cancer battle, and also took a leave from his investment firm, Relational Investors LLC. The Bloomberg article said Whitworth is an “influential voice in corporate governance,” who is credited with helping

to change the rules in the 1990s to allow today’s shareholder activism. Closer to home, the San Diego Union-Tribune reported last year that Whitworth paid for the Rolling Stones to play a private concert at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach to celebrate his wife’s birthday, the couple’s anniversary and the launch of the Immunotherapy Foundation. Some 450 invited guests were on hand for the occasion. Near the end of his talk on Wednesday, Whitworth — who was suffering from the flu along with battling cancer — made a rousing, emotional pledge, expressing optimism in the face of a disease which he called “a senseless scourge of humankind.” “We’re gonna do something about it, we’re gonna get rid of this stuff. We’ve got to wipe it from the face of the Earth. We’re right at the cusp of it,” he said. For more information, visit www.theimmunotherapyfoundation.org.

National Conflict Resolution Center to honor Del Mar couple

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Having contributed to the San Diego region for decades, Del Mar couple Mel and Linda Katz will be recognized during the National Conflict Resolution Center’s 28th annual Peacemaker Awards April 14 at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine. “They are really unique individuals in the community, in terms of the breadth of the work that they’ve done to move San Diego forward as a community,” said Del Mar resident Steven Dinkin, president and CEO of NCRC. “It’s also so unique that as a couple, each one in themselves has really contributed greatly to society. Both Linda and Mel have been on countless boards and involved in countless organizations across the community that have had such a widespread impact on our community.” Mel and Linda Katz relocated from Phoenix to San Diego in 1977. Mel became co-owner and executive officer of staffing firm Manpower San Diego. He’s been with the company nearly 39 years. Linda continued her career in retail until the couple had their first child in 1979. Not long after she became a mother, she also started volunteering. And what started as a hobby, eventually turned into a fulltime gig as a community leader and civic activist. The mother of three has volunteered for more than a dozen local organizations, including Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary, Planned Parenthood of the Pacific Southwest, Francis Parker School, Girl Scouts San Diego, The San Diego Foundation, San Diego Symphony, Serving Seniors, and

Linda and Mel Katz

United Way of San Diego County, among others. Linda helped establish The San Diego Women’s Foundation, the supporting arm of The San Diego Foundation, in 1999. In 2009, she also co-founded Women Give San Diego, a donor circle of the Women’s Foundation of California. Today, Linda remains heavily involved with Planned Parenthood, Women Give San Diego and Barrio Logan College Institute, an

after-school program that offers college preparation services for students beginning in third grade. Also very involved in the community, Mel is an an outspoken advocate of child literacy, K-12 and higher education. He played a key role in fundraising for the San Diego Central Library, and currently serves on the boards of the San Diego Public Library Foundation, UC San Diego Foundation and as chair of e3 Civic High. “When you look at San Diego County, and you see the different issues that we have, every one of them can be fixed and it can be so much better of a community,” Mel said. “If you get involved, you can really make a difference.” As an international leader in mediation instruction and conflict resolution, San Diego-based San Diego-based NCRC celebrates local and national peace builders every year. This year, Mel and Linda Katz will receive the Philanthropy in Peacemaking Award. “It’s an honor,” Linda said. “We were very surprised — having it be for both of us together. We share the same core values as a family and with our community involvements, yet we’re both involved in very different nonprofits and organizations with very different missions, but we both support what each of us do.” NCRC is also honoring Academy Award-winning actor and humanitarian Richard Dreyfuss as the night’s National Peacemaker Honoree. Dreyfuss will be in attendance to talk about the importance of

education and empowering young leaders, which are core missions of both NCRC and the Dreyfuss Civics Initiative. Additionally, NCRC is recognizing Reclaiming the Community Music Project with the San Diego Peacemaker Award. Through this project, rival gang members in southeast San Diego have put aside their differences to collaborate on an album called “Reclaiming the Community” with the goal of empowering residents to be the catalysts of positive change. NCRC provides the resources, training and expertise to help people, organizations and communities around the world manage and solve conflicts, with civility. The University of San Diego Law Center and the San Diego County Bar Association founded the organization in 1983. Since then, NCRC has managed more than 20,000 cases. “It’s really amazing what they [NCRC] do,” Mel said. “They try to find solutions through communications.” “I love that NCRC is built on that principle — that every dispute has a solution,” Linda added. “They will resolve issues with the highest possible degree of civility of equitability to all parties.” About 600 people are expected to attend the annual event, which starts at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, April 14, at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine, 3777 La Jolla Village Drive. Tickets cost $300. Tables cost $3,500. For more information and to purchase tickets, call 619-238-2400, ext. 222, or visit www.ncrconline.com.

Solana Beach resident graduates from new business leadership program BY KRISTINA HOUCK A Solana Beach businessman is on the fast track to success after completing a new business leadership program. John Stein, owner of Kirei, was one of 26 people who recently graduated from Accion International’s Accion Fast Track program. Accion is an international nonprofit microlending organization. “Accion provided me capital when I needed it and now they’ve given us intellectual capital,” Stein said. “It’s turned out to be really effective.” Supported by Capital One and the Blackstone Charitable Foundation, the program provided a select group of Accion loan clients with John Stein intensive business training and coaching as well as individual mentoring to set their businesses on a path to growth. The free program kicked off in June with a two-day introduction and networking session in Chicago. Business owners then developed personal and professional growth plans. The curriculum also included 20 virtual coaching sessions and mentorship pairing, culminating with a graduation ceremony Feb. 18 in New York.

John Stein (top row, second from left) at the Accion Fast Track graduation ceremony in February. “I got to meet almost 30 different entrepreneurs, everything from car wash to beer brewers to nail salons to coffee,” Stein said. “Everyone was so different, but so the same. We all deal with the same issues. It’s a relief to know that other people out there have the same issues.” With a background in marketing, Stein shifted careers 13 years ago when he created Kirei USA in 2002. “Kirei,” which means

“beautiful” and “clean” in Japanese, offers interior design materials that are manufactured from renewable or reclaimed agricultural byproducts and low- or no-added-formaldehyde adhesives. “I was doing marketing, and a friend of mine showed me a piece of our Kirei board product,” Stein explained. “The people, luckily, loved it. It became a great, fun design material. It had a great, green story, so it was

a great way to lead people toward green design options.” What started out of a small garage on North Helix Avenue has grown into a successful business in the heart of the Cedros Design District. But Stein said he couldn’t have done it without the help of Accion. Stein has been a client of Accion for about a decade. To advance his business, he started with a small loan and then worked his way up to a $35,000 loan, which was the organization’s maximum loan at the time. Accion now offers loans up to $75,000. Looking to grow his company, Stein was excited to participate in Accion’s new Fast Track program. “I learned to take the time to work on my business, not just in my business because you can be swallowed up by everyday firefighting and never really make goals,” Stein said. “The important thing is to set goals so that you’re going somewhere, communicate those goals to your team, so they know where you’re going and they can make independent decisions, and they feel part of something. “My goal for the business is to continue to grow at a measured pace and to make sure that everybody on the team knows where we’re going,” he added. “It’s just as important to market within to your team, as it to your customers, so they know what you’re trying to do.” For more about Kirei, visit www.kireiusa.com.

Tour de Cure to return to Del Mar Fairgrounds April 9 BY KRISTINA HOUCK Diagnosed with type 1 diabetes when he was about 11 years old, for years, Carmel Valley resident Mike Readey hid his disease. “I was isolated,” Readey recalled. “I hid my condition. I thought something was wrong with me.” In fact, for the first half of his life with diabetes, Readey said, he was the only diabetic he knew. For years, he neglected his health. Until 2003, when he met his new boss, also a diabetic. “Looking at him, he’s slim, he’s healthy, he’s in control,” Readey remembered. “Looking at me, I’m overweight, full of aches and pains, feel 10 years older than I was and my boss was older than I was.” Inspired, Readey dieted. Now 49, he lost 60 pounds and has maintained his weight. “I went from being my doctor’s least favorite patient to his favorite,” Readey said. Inspired by another co-worker, Readey bought a bicycle and started riding seriously in 2008, commuting to work and training with clubs. In 2010, he registered for his first Tour de Cure, hosted by the the American Diabetes Association’s greater San Diego area chapter, which covers San Diego, Riverside, San Bernardino and Imperial counties. Wearing a Red Rider jersey like others living with type 1 or type 2 diabetes, Readey started the 100-mile ride at 6 a.m. and crossed the finish line around 2 or 3 in the afternoon. “It was a moment like no other,” recalled Readey, a husband and father of 13-year-old twin girls. “I was very proud of myself. I very much felt a part of the community. Everyone was

Northrop Grumman team cheering me on. “It made such an impression on me, I’ve ridden with them every year since.” This will be Readey’s seventh year riding in the local Tour de Cure, which is set for April 9 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Readey has raised $4,000 toward the cause in the six years he has participated in the event. Collectively, his company team, Northrop Grumman, has raised about $77,000. Hundreds of cyclists are expected to raise awareness and funds for diabetes research, education and advocacy during the annual Tour de Cure. More than 600 people participated in the event last year, raising $365,000. This year, the

chapter expects 1,000 participants with the goal to raise $420,000. “We’re excited to be back at the Del Mar Fairgrounds again for the second year,” said Kim Messey, project manager for American Diabetes Association’s Tour de Cure. “We feel like it’s really showcasing the ADA and the things we have to offer, bringing it to a much larger, more well-known venue.” More than 29 million Americans have diabetes. Approximately 2.5 million people are living with diabetes in the local chapter’s area. The American Diabetes Association has funded innovative research to combat diabetes since 1955. In 2010, the association funded more than $34 million in research at 125 leading

research institutions across the country. During the Tour de Cure there will be a variety of different routes: a 1-mile loop Family Fun Ride, 29-mile ride, 62-mile and a100-mile ride. The 29-mile ride is symbolic of the more than 29 million Americans with diabetes. There is also a new 15-mile ride this year. There will be more than 25 vendors, a taco truck and organic beer available at the event. All participants will receive a free lunch and a 25th anniversary medal. Those who raise $1,000 or more will receive VIP treatment with a massage and a free beer. “Come out to Tour de Cure,” Readey said. “It’s so supportive. Don’t be alone.” For information or to register for the American Diabetes Association San Diego Tour de Cure, visit www.diabetes.org/sandiegotourdecure. Registration costs $30 in advance or $35 at the event. Participants must raise a minimum of $200.

Local resident teaches by day, serves as foster parent at home BY JENNIFER COBURN When Margit Boyesen got a call from her sister asking her to foster a friend’s twins, she didn’t hesitate to volunteer. A Cardiff Elementary School teacher, Boyesen loves children, and has always dreamt of having her own. “I didn’t know a thing about foster care, but these children needed help so I wanted to try and figure it out,” says the single 45-year-old teacher as she had an after-school snack at her Carmel Valley townhome. As it turned out, she wasn’t able to foster the twins because they lived in Los Angeles, but it got her thinking. “If I said yes without flinching or taking a breath, why am I not a foster parent?” Months later, she attended an Angels Foster Family Network fundraiser and decided to take the leap. After extensive screening and training at Angels, a San Diego-based agency that works closely with the San Diego County Child Welfare Department, Boyesen was asked to foster a toddler who gave herself the nickname “Naya.” Twisting a strand of blonde hair, the teacher tears up as she describes a day the two shared at the beach during their six weeks together. “It was magical and lovely, and you felt like everything was just right in the world,” she recalls,

explaining that many foster children haven’t had the chance to enjoy the simple pleasures of a stable life. “We built sand castles and took selfies, then came home and had an impromptu dance party.” Boyesen says that the benefits of being a foster parent far outweigh the challenges, but it’s a tough job. “These children come to you traumatized and sometimes have very good reasons not to trust adults, so it takes a few weeks for them to let their guard down,” she says. The hardest part, though, is saying goodbye. She understands the goal is to reunite children with their parents after they’ve complied with court orders, typically for drug or alcohol rehabilitation. Still, it’s hard. “I fell in love with the ‘Little Man’ at first sight,” Boyesen says about the 3-year-old boy who recently reunited with his mother after a three-month stay with Boyesen. “He came to me like a little tough guy, but after two weeks began to feel more comfortable, and at six weeks it was super fun,” she says. “He couldn’t pronounce Miss Margit, and used to look up at me with that big mop of red hair and call me Mit Mawdit. How do you not fall in love with that?” She says she quickly discovered his love of all things related to transportation. “Trains,

Margit Boyesen planes, trucks, cars, if it was noisy, he loved it.” She took Little Man on visits to the train museum and airport, and even arranged a special trip to the local fire station. “The firefighters let him sit in the truck, hold the hose, use the heart monitor, they were so good to him. And he was so happy, he was shaking.” Boyesen created a picture book about Little Man’s day at the fire station as a keepsake of his time in

her care. Not only did she want to give him a tangible memento of his stay at her home, the teacher also discovered that the child responded well when she drew pictures of where they were going and who was involved. She explains that a child in foster care might have several appointments each week, including visits with parents, therapists, social workers, case managers, and doctors. “When you have your own children, you might be taking them

to soccer and swim lessons, but foster children can have appointments almost every day,” she says. Little Man’s life had plenty of fun as well. Since Boyesen is a full-time, working, single woman, Angels had no problem with her enrolling the toddler in a licensed preschool. And she connected for playdates with friends who have children. “Both Naya and Little Man loved splashing around the pool,” she says, pointing outside. Beside her, a large basket of water toys sits next to a rocking chair filled with stuffed animals. Foster parents receive a small stipend for incidentals, but Boyesen says the real payoff is making a difference in the lives of children. She says she winds up spending more than she receives, but she doesn’t mind. Plus, Angels Foster Family Network helps offset her costs by supplying foster parents with diapers, clothing, formula, and toys when they are available. Though saying goodbye is always difficult, Boyesen says being a foster parent is worth it. “The waiting and the unknowns are hard, but once the children learn to trust you, and you figure out what they like to eat, it’s a lot of fun.” For more information about how to become a foster family, or how you can support foster families, please visit www.angelsfoster.org

DM Heights students keen on robotics

The robotics program is popular at Del Mar Heights School.

ach Thursday afternoon, The Learning Center and Library at Del Mar Heights School buzzes with the chatter of collaborating students and whirring electronics involved in Robotics Club. Robotics Club is a student-centered extra-curricular program led by a group of parents and teachers in coordination with the Robotics Club of nearby Canyon Crest Academy High School. The club features weekly challenges in engineering, design, and software coding.The girls and boys who make up the Robotics Club work to make their robots maneuver through obstacle courses, attempt to pick-up or move objects, trace paths, and create music. In addition, students are encouraged to work on problems of their own determination. Nikki Quinn, a fifth-grade student, notes, “I enjoy the freedom to work on my own engineering and coding problems and working with my friends.” Indeed, active collaboration between students is the norm, with ideas being expressed and

evaluated in a manner which resembles the boardroom of an engineering firm more than that of an elementary school. “We try to create an atmosphere where the qualities of project-based problem solving can be expressed,” says program coordinator and PTA parent Anindita Bhoumik. “Engineers must be able to work with a team. We are starting that idea with our young students.” Robotics club is among the more popular of many extra-curricular activities available to students of Del Mar Heights Elementary school. “I enjoy Robotics Club just as much as Intramural Sports competitions or our school play,” Fourth-Grader Grant Smith says. “It’s just hard to decide which to fit into my schedule.” On Monday and Tuesday, March 14 and 15, Del Mar Heights School invites families of incoming kindergarteners and new students of all grade levels to learn about the excellent academics, vibrant community, and signature programs that make the neighborhood school a wonderful place for children to grow.

OUR READERS WRITE Watermark Specific Plan should be put to a vote Dear Friends and Neighbors, I am writing to ask you to help me convince the Del Mar City council that the Watermark Specific Plan should be put to a vote of the registered voters of Del Mar. We need to respond now. Unfortunately, it appears that the city council is fast-tracking this project through the approval process which will result in allowing Watermark to disregard all zoning ordinances and create their own. As it stands now, this project and the required zoning change are one city council vote away from becoming reality. Currently, the property in question is zoned commercial with approved plans to build a modest office building. Watermark would like to change the zoning to a “Specific Plan” which will allow them to build 48 homes. In addition, a Specific Plan allows the developer to ignore zoning regulations and build whatever they desire. The current Watermark Specific Plan consists (but not limited to) the following zoning variances: •Height Restrictions — The proposed building pad will sit at least 8 feet above Jimmy Durante Blvd. This is a drastic change in elevation even before the homes are built. •Density — This development covers the entire usable portion of the lot with no open space. •F.A.R. (Floor Area Ratio) — 65 percent FAR is almost double the FAR of the adjoining hillside subdivision. •Environment — As proposed, once those Torrey Pines are cut down and the natural bluffs are bulldozed, the bluff and hillside views will never look the same. •Traffic — With an estimated two cars per home and 10 trips per home per day, traffic congestion on that corner will be intense and could back up into the proposed roundabout during the summer season due to its close proximity to Watermark’s garage entry. Other concerns: Light Pollution, Noise Pollution, Set-backs from existing hillside homes, short term rentals. I am asking that you join me in asking the Del Mar City Council to put this development to a public vote. Allowing developers to change (and

disregard) current zoning rules is unconscionable and will have a lasting effect on our city. Thank you, Beth Westburg

Roundabout not the right option for several reasons The following letter was submitted to the Del Mar City Council and to this newspaper for publication: Dear Council Members, As a 31-year-resident of Del Mar, I have seen many changes over the years. I have watched council members come and go and some seem to be very thoughtful in their decisions. I’m having a difficult time now looking at some of the issues and, in particular, the proposed roundabout and watermark. I attended the TPAC meeting and was amazed at comments that bikers would not suffer as serious an injury if hit in a roundabout, does that make it OK for a biker to be hit? The roundabout is a very expensive change for Jimmy Durante and San Dieguito Road and one that doesn’t make sense for those of us who drive that intersection multiple times a day. Currently, it works fine the way it is and during the fair and races it is congested, but the suggestion to put in a roundabout to “slow down” traffic doesn’t make sense. How do you slow down gridlock and why would we want to? The goal should be to get the traffic through the area. Residents are already severely impacted by this traffic and the roundabout would increase the traffic tremendously. The roundabout is exorbitantly expensive and the suggestion at TPAC to hire someone to direct traffic at highly congested times doesn’t make any sense as no one has done that for the last 31 years. It appears that someone wants a roundabout without the logical thought of what the outcome will be. Roundabouts do work in other places, but do those places attract 1,000,000 tourists in a three-week period? Do those drivers know where they are going or where they want to go? There are few accidents at this intersection now, but the addition of a roundabout would increase that possibility. The intersection works now the way it is. A big issue for those of us on David Way,

Heather Lane and Christy Lane is emergency vehicle access and it is nearly impossible for an emergency vehicle to reach us in a timely manner too many months out of the year. A roundabout would not make that access any better and may slow it down due to the small size of the proposed roundabout. It seems someone is bound and determined to put in a roundabout, but without care for those of us who live in the vicinity and would be greatly impacted by this decision. Please take into consideration all of the comments brought forth by the residents who live adjacent to this. We already put up with traffic unlike other parts of Del Mar and cannot always get into or out of our own residential streets. Please think carefully about this decision. Sincerely, Barbara Myers

SDUHSD needs to assure parents there will be no increase in studentto-teacher ratios The San Dieguito Union School District board has recently voted and approved salary increases for its teachers that included assurances the certificated staff will be the highest paid in the county. The administration has indicated that this binding, voted and approved agreement will not result in higher student-to-teacher ratios to offset its increased cost. The interim budget, being presented to the board to approve on Thursday, indicates otherwise. Page 166 of the current board packet shows an additional increase of 201 students to the previously forecasted increase of 133 in 2017 that was already on top of 255 new students next year. That’s an increase of 589 students, based on the 12,214 for this year going up to the new total of 12,803 for 2017. Additional students mean more revenue, somewhere around $8,000 for every new student based on the LCFF formula. That would be fine with all the new buildings, if the forecast also reflected 10 to 20 more teachers to keep the district around the same staffing ratios, but it does not. Based on pages 161, 181 and 184 of the board packet, teachers and staff levels are basically the same for the next three years. Having already expressed my concerns about

NORTH COAST - MARCH 10, 2016 - PAGE A15

OUR READERS WRITE (CONTINUED) the prior increase of almost 400 students, this addition of 201 more students to the forecast makes me even more worried that the student-to-teacher ratios are going to go up and/or there will be higher deficit spending than what is being forecast. Some of the members of the board are already worried and they should be. If you are also worried, let the board know. Ask them to put it in writing and put to a vote that the student-to-teacher ratios will not be raised. Steven McDowell

Sincere thanks to Del Mar Lifeguards, Friends of the Powerhouse On behalf of the Navy Medical Center San Diego Surf Clinic (which occurs every Thursday at the main lifeguard station as a therapy for injured service people), we’d like to sincerely thank the long-term assistance that the City of Del Mar Lifeguards have provided. Led by the amazing Pat Vergne, the lifeguards have helped in every way imaginable — safety, setup, equipment, as well as being warm and welcoming to patients and volunteers alike for well over five years. The clinic serves a group of injured

servicemen, women, and their families year round providing surf instruction, coaching, paddling, boogie boarding, swimming and kayaking. The group includes newly injured, ongoing rehab patients, and returning/integrating service people who can take advantage of the equipment, coaching and comradery. Other than the hospital therapists, led by Betty Michalewicz, the clinic is 100 percent run by volunteers from the community. The Balboa Warrior Athlete Program is a therapeutic program designed to restore, remediate, and rehabilitate injured, ill, or wounded service member’s level of function and independence in life. Of particular note, the clinic lost a long-time volunteer and surfer Henry Wagner this year to a sudden illness. An experienced waterman, he embodied all the qualities of the best volunteers — enthusiastic, positive, warm and always willing to go the extra mile for the men and women he worked with. The Friends of The Powerhouse and Pat have kindly assisted in securing a memorial tile on the walkway that the service people walk down each week toward the water. We sincerely thank Pat and his team and Jill Coughlin of The Friends of The Powerhouse for all their help, particularly in securing a tile to remember Henry. The NMCSD Volunteers and Patients

School News BY RICK SCHMITT

Superintendent Rick Schmitt’s monthly update

uperintendent Rick Schmitt regularly updates the greater San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) community through the local media with a monthly update. Topics may include academics, facilities, budget, enrollment, safety, and other specific and special interest topics. Today’s update focuses on high school enrollment, middle school intra-district transfers and class size. I regularly visit school sites to both observe classrooms and to meet with parents. During these parent meetings, several topics tend to come up on a frequent basis - High School Selection, Middle School transfers, and, more recently, class size. I’d like to take the opportunity to address each of these issues.

High School Selection As you likely know, each year we conduct a process that we refer to as High School Selection. During a designated window of time (Feb. 1-29 this year) we ask each incoming 9th grade student, along with any upper grade students new to our school district, to declare which high school

he or she would like to attend. Students already attending our high schools only need to declare a school during this process if they want to change from their current school. At the end of the declaration window, we analyze all declarations to ensure that each declaration was made by a district resident and then we compare the number of requests for each high school to the available capacity at each school. If the available capacity of a school exceeds the number of requests, then all students are admitted. If the available capacity of a school is less than the number of requests, then we are obligated by California law to conduct a random lottery to determine which students are enrolled. The only priority given in our lottery is to siblings of continuing students at the school. We’ve worked diligently over the years to ensure that as many students as possible are enrolled at their school of choice and this year is not different. We’ve worked to add capacity at both San Dieguito High School Academy and Canyon Crest Academy to accommodate enrollment demand and we’ve added program enhancements

I have Crohn’s disease but it doesn’t have me I was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease at 15. Crohn’s disease is an autoimmune disease in which the body attacks the gastrointestinal tract. Patients can get inflammation, diarrhea, ulcers, bleeding and it is incredibly painful. Ever since then my life has consisted of doctors appointments and medications. As sad as it may be I don’t know who I am without Crohn’s anymore. For a long time I resented the situation. As I have grown older I have realized that Crohn’s is as much a part of me as my curly hair. Every day is a blessing in disguise to imagine what others possibly go through on a daily basis. Having Crohn’s has made me a more empathetic person. I’m incredibly fortunate to have my parents, brother, friends and family be ready to support me through anything and I realize that others are not as fortunate. My journey through Crohn’s has taken me through surgery, six colonoscopies, two endoscopies, a nasal gastric tube, six medications, and six doctors. I had never felt heard or validated. I would tell my doctors that I was in pain and it was almost as if what I was saying was not important enough for them to care. I finally found my home with Dr. William Sandborn at UCSD and for that I couldn’t be

(bell schedule & course offerings) at both La Costa Canyon High School and Torrey Pines HS to draw more students to those schools and thereby decrease demand at the Academies. While we are still working through this year’s declaration data, we remain hopeful that we will, once again, be able to accommodate all students at their school of choice. I am hoping to announce our 2016-17 High School Enrollment plans via Facebook by March 15.

Middle School Transfers On a related note, we also accept transfers among our middle schools on a space-available basis. The window for applying for an intra-district transfer among our middle schools is currently open and will close at 4 p.m. on April 15. Students wishing to attend a middle school other than their school of residence should complete an online Intra-District Transfer application via the link below. One common misconception that sometimes influences middle school transfer requests is the misbelief that attending a particular middle school gives a student priority for attendance at a particular high school. There is no enrollment link between any of our middle schools and any of our high schools - the middle school a student attends does not give any enrollment priority at any of our high schools. www.sduhsd.net

Class Size I continue to receive occasional

more grateful. Dr. Sandborn listens to everything I have to say and hasn’t made me feel petty for whatever it is that I am feeling. He explains the science of the medications to me and the actual odds of success even when they aren’t very high. These past few months have been especially challenging in my life. My body has rejected one more Crohn’s medication. Some days it feels as if my options are slowly dwindling. Not only has my body rejected another medication but I have also been suffering from some pretty severe side effects as a result. There is another medication that we are hoping to try and for right now that medication is off label for Crohn’s disease. This medication is a chance for me and other patients who have failed every other treatment option and who have already gone through surgery. I already lost six centimeters of my intestines; I would like to keep the rest. I want to encourage others to see the light inside the tunnel not just on the other side. Life is the journey and you need to enjoy it every day. While I maybe going through a tough time right now and with Crohn’s I may always have little crisis moments, I can’t live my life waiting for them. I live life grateful for what I have gone through and excited for what’s to come. While a cure for Crohn’s would be incredible I don’t live my life depending on one. I have Crohn’s disease but it doesn’t have me. Alexis Sherman, Carmel Valley

questions about class sizes in our schools, likely the result of some misrepresentations recently. Literally for decades, we’ve had the same maximum student to teacher ratios (32:1 at high school, 29:1 at middle school) which established maximum class size averages (38.4 at high school, 34.6 at middle school) in our district. It is important to note that these numbers represent maximum averages and that, in most school years, our actual class size averages are well below these maximums. In every school district in the state of California, class size averages tend to fluctuate with the level of state funding for public education, and our district is no different. During the difficult recessionary years, class sizes did creep slightly closer to our stated maximums. However, state funding and district finances have recovered, in just the past few years, we’ve invested over $3 million in incremental class size average reductions and in reducing counselor to student ratios. It’s also important to note that every measure of student achievement in our district has thrived throughout the ebb and flow of class size averages - a testament to the talent and commitment of our students, teachers, and families. Current budget plans call for continued efforts to reduce class size and counselor caseloads. Class size reduction along with our academic programs will always remain a top priority.

FROM DRONES, A1 This ability to fly in tight quarters could also benefit search-and-rescue missions, when tree canopies or buildings hinder the views of Sheriff’s helicopter pilots. UAVs can be outfitted with infrared technology that illuminates a hiker lost in the dark, for example. If bad weather grounds Sheriff’s Department helicopters, drones could potentially take to the sky as an alternative, Vickery stated. But, he added, drones would only supplement helicopters, not replace them. That’s primarily because a helicopter can arrive on scene within 2 to 15 minutes, while it could take a drone an hour. A drone pilot and spotter would operate a UAV, and it would typically only launch from command posts set up at an incident, Vickery said. He’s part of a six-member Sheriff’s working group that began researching law enforcement drones in July. The panel is looking at drone policies in Ventura as a potential model. It also visited Alameda County, Calif. to get a sense of how police drones are used. Matt Cagle is the technology and civil liberties policy attorney with the ACLU of Northern California. He said the San Diego Sheriff’s Department should restrict any potential drone program to prevent routine civilian surveillance. "Whenever surveillance technology is used, there needs to be strict limits on the circumstances that it can be utilized," Cagle said. He added safeguards should ensure drone footage is only collected "where and when necessary," as well as punish abuse of drone data. Without controls, drones could be deployed to monitor protestors, for instance, Cagle said. But Vickery said that’s not in the cards. He stated drone footage would only be stored for evidence purposes, and UAVs wouldn’t just "sweep across the beat" or randomly take video of homes. "Any data we collect, if it’s not of evidentiary value, would be destroyed," he said. Sheriff’s citizen advisory groups across the county will soon weigh in on drones, according to Vickery. From there, various Sheriff’s Department committees and captains of Sheriff’s substations will provide feedback. Ultimately, Sheriff

Bill Gore will decide whether to implement a pilot program with a small number of drones, and if he deems that successful, drones would go countywide. Vickery said there isn’t a timeline in place for when Gore will make those calls, but potentially in the next few months. Cagle said it’s important that the Sheriff’s Department also hold public meetings on the matter. "I think the real issue here is whether or not San Diego residents even want these drones," he said. "There should be a public debate." Encinitas Councilwoman Lisa Shaffer declined an interview request for the article, saying she doesn’t have enough of an understanding of the issue at this time to have an opinion. "I will just say this is one of the many complex issues we have to deal with, seeking the best balance between immediate public safety needs and privacy considerations," Shaffer stated in an email. Launching a Sheriff’s drone program would require Federal Aviation Administration approval. Sheriff’s drones would be bound by many of the same FAA rules for hobbyist operators, including that UAVs are prohibited from flying higher than 400 feet. Vickery said the Oceanside Police Department is also researching drones, but a San Diego law enforcement agency has yet to buy and deploy UAVs, he stated. Public agencies across the nation have paid anywhere from $2,000 to $85,000 per drone, Vickery said. Sophisticated models have software that snaps photos of landscapes at regular intervals, producing a composite image of the entire area covered. At this point, the Sheriff’s Department hasn’t decided which model it could buy or how many, according to Vickery. For some, the word "drone" conjures up images of large aircraft capable of missile strikes. In response, Vickery said the Sheriff’s drones would be similar to small hobbyist drones, and only able to fly for 30 minutes to an hour at a time. "You wouldn’t be able to tell the difference between the ones we’re looking at and the hobbyist ones," he said.

Prostate cancer: From a patient’s point of view ‘Informed Prostate Cancer Support Group’ meets monthly BY PATTY FULLER It was 1982 when Nancy Brinker, a Dallas socialite, announced she was starting a foundation in honor of her sister, Susan G. Komen, who died of breast cancer at age 36. At the time, if a woman was diagnosed with breast cancer or had a mastectomy, it was never talked about in public. Fast forward to 2016. Now, there is a new movement on the horizon for men. It’s called the Informed Prostate Cancer Support Group (IPCSG). This San Diego based non-profit is on a mission to arm patients with the tools to fight the escalating diagnosis of prostate cancer among men. “Prostate Cancer is the #1 silent disease in men and early detection is the key,” says Lyle LaRosh, president of IPCSG. “Our goal is to teach men and their loved ones ‘How to be Your Own Case Manager. ’” “The psychological journey, myriad of treatment options, and its effect on relationships puts men in a challenging position,” says LaRosh, a 16-year survivor. “Men are now moving from providing support for their loved ones to seeking it out.” New technologies and therapies have evolved over the last decade. But, patients are at the bottom of the learning curve, contends LaRosh. The goal of the support group is to inform men about treatment options, side effects, how to negotiate the healthcare system, and last, but not least, get support. They provide a forum where men can get their questions FROM BEETLES, A1 program last year. The program involves setting traps and watering drought-stressed trees. Simulated beetle pheromones lure beetles out of the trees and into the traps. Del Mar installed a trap in March 2015 at Anderson Canyon and another trap at Seagrove Park in May 2015. Each cluster of three traps costs $250. The pheromone lures cost $115 and are replaced every two to three months. The program has successfully protected trees on public property. To date, the traps have captured nearly 50,000 beetles — 39,000 beetles from Anderson Canyon and 8,300 from Seagrove Park. “We haven’t had any trees that have been affected since those traps have been out in that general area,” said City Manager Scott Huth. “It has been a positive program — at least in

“

The psychological journey, myriad of treatment options, and its effect on relationships puts men in a challenging position. Men are now moving from providing support for their loved ones to seeking it out.

”

Lyle LaRosh, cancer survivor answered by men who have lived through the experience. Each month, about 100 attendees meet in an auditorium at the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Center in La Jolla. Some months, newly diagnosed men range from 10 percent to 30 percent of the audience. Often times, patients give their testimonials about the road traveled and the lessons learned. Other meetings include physicians, researchers and ancillary healthcare professionals discussing the pros and cons of current therapies, followed by breakout sessions for men based on their diagnosis. Over the last 10 years, a multitude of therapies have come on the market. Some therapies include active surveillance, robotic surgery, IMRT radiation therapy, proton radiation therapy, hormonal therapy, chemotherapy, cryoablation therapy, and a host of new medications. Men share their journey and outcomes from therapy, which is unique for each individual. As for lesson learned, the following list of recommendations comes from the experienced patients: • Retain a copy of all your medical records and create your own medical two of our park areas.” Because the city does not monitor trees on private property, however, city staff is concerned that infested trees that are left untreated on private land could spread to Torrey pines and other trees on public property. To continue the battle against the bark beetle, council members agreed that an educational program for residents would be beneficial, so they could learn how to better identify infestations and receive information on preventative programs. The city will provide residents information about bark beetles on the city’s website and through email blasts and water bill inserts. Some council members said they might consider installing additional traps. Huth said staff would study the possibility of adding traps on other city property. The council also directed staff to draft an ordinance that would allow the city to remove dead or infested

file • Manage your disease: Explore treatment options, how to minimize side effects, relationship issues, depression and mood changes • Read books (access the library at IPCSG) • Don’t surf the internet. You will access too much information and misinformation, which may lead to depression • Join support groups, interact with professionals and family members • Take a significant other to appointments with you to document treatment recommendations • Get second opinions from different specialists • You may have to seek out more options for insurance carriers. Whether it’s with a PPO, versus an HMO, the IPCSG members can share their experiences with insurance options for men • Explore complementary therapies to mitigate the side effects of treatments, such as exercise, change in diet, or meditation In closing, one patient summarized the value of a male support group in this way: “I only knew two people who had cancer when I first got diagnosed in 2004. Now, I know hundreds, thanks to the Informed Prostate Cancer Support Group. My primary care doctor told me to get support in 2009. That was the “Beginning of Hope” for me. The Informed Cancer Support Group meets the third Saturday of every month from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. at the Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Center (Auditorium) on 10905 Road to the Cure, San Diego, CA 92121. Directions and information can be found at www.ipcsg.org trees if property owners do not comply with requests to treat them or remove them. Councilman Don Mosier said the city should only become involved as a “last measure.” “It’s not something I envision the city having to do very often, but I would like to have that available as a resource,” Mosier said. “To the extent that the beetles get out of hand, we probably would want something on the books that we can immediately do something about it,” Councilman Al Corti agreed. Before moving forward with a new ordinance, Deputy Mayor Terry Sinnott said he would like to see the outcome of other methods, such as public education. “I would support an education program, let people know what to look for,” Sinnott said. “I would rather wait on an enforcement leg until we see how the voluntary educational program goes.”

San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy celebrates 30th anniversary BY KRISTINA HOUCK hanks to the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy, much of the natural resources of the San Dieguito watershed has been preserved and protected for generations to come. Since its founding three decades ago, the nonprofit organization has assisted in acquiring more than 3,500 acres of land. “I look at myself as a caretaker,” said board president Peter Shapiro. “I’m a mindful caretaker of what a diligent group, very passionate and dedicated folks worked hard to establish 30 years ago. It’s just an amazing thing that they had the fortitude and the gumption to stick with it. I want to maintain and ensure that all their hard work isn’t in vain and continues down the road for many, many, many years.” Concerned about the environment, residents of Del Mar helped establish the city’s San Dieguito Lagoon Committee in 1974 to prevent the lagoon from being more developed, and to prepare a plan to restore and preserve it. “In the 1970s, people became quite interested in what was happening to the environment,” said former Del Mar Mayor Jan McMillan, who served as founding board member of the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy. “People began to look at what overbuilding was doing to our natural assets. There were a lot of groups being organized to try to preserve open space and natural river corridors.” Recognizing that the lagoon could not truly be saved without preserving the San Dieguito River Valley, advocates from Del Mar, Solana Beach and Rancho Santa Fe went a step further and formed the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy in 1986 to protect the natural resources of the 92,000-acre San Dieguito River corridor. Del Mar resident Nancy Weare served as the first president of the nonprofit organization, which raises funds to acquire land along the River Valley through donations, grants and mitigation. “I had many people say it couldn’t be done,” Weare said. “Not only was it formed, it flourished and it lasted 30 years. It’s an institution now.” Over the years, the conservancy has grown from a group of about 10 to more than 1,200 members, assisted in acquiring more than 3,500 acres of land, and accelerated the development of the Coast to Crest Trail. Completing the 70-mile Coast to Crest Trail from Del Mar to Volcan Mountain north of Julian has long been one of the conservancy’s goals. About 50 miles of the trail are finished. The conservancy is working on completing key parts of the trail. Work on extending the River Path in Del Mar at the coastal trailhead is currently under construction. Executive Director Trish Boaz said that the

conservancy has obtained the easement for Rancho Santa Fe at Lusardi Creek and provided the funding for the Pamo Valley trail. She said the conservancy is also close to restarting negotiations with the owners of Rancho Paseana in Fairbanks Ranch. “We’re very proud of that,” said Boaz, who has served as executive director since April 2013. “We’re proud of getting trails on the ground, River Path Del Mar, being an example. It’s providing the public access to the San Dieguito River Park.” Providing the public access is a top priority like preserving and protecting the land. In addition to public trails, the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy continually offers ways the community can get involved, from guided hikes to interpretive lectures to volunteer opportunities. “We don’t want to be the best kept secret in North County,” Boaz said. “We want people aware of the value of the San Dieguito River Park.” Part of the conservancy’s mission is to establish educational programs. The conservancy played a key role in opening the Birdwing Open Air Classroom along the San Dieguito Lagoon in May 2014. The San Dieguito River Park’s 80-seat outdoor amphitheater overlooks the restored wetlands and is used as an open air classroom. The conservancy, which supports

and grew up spending a lot of time outdoors, founded the program. “It’s just been one of those terribly satisfying experiences for me — just watching the kids in action,” she said about the recent launch of the program. “It was unbelievable.” In celebration of the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy’s 30th anniversary, the nonprofit has planned a special event, Wax & Wine, in partnership with Knorr Beeswax Candles. The March 20 event will include gourmet food, wine and music by guitarist Bill Fleming. “Knorr Candles has been located next to the river valley for four generations and has seen its development over the years,” said Del Mar-based Knorr Candles owner Nancy Knorr. “We are excited to be partnering with the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy so that we can continue preserving our precious open spaces for years to come.” The event will take place from 1-5 p.m. Tickets are $50 and must be purchased in advance at https://sdrvc.ejoinme.org/ sdrvcwaxandwine. Tickets are not available at the door. Knorr Beeswax Candles is located at 14906 Via de la Valle in Del Mar.

the River Park, raised more than $170,000 in donations at the time of the grand opening celebration. More recently, in mid-February, the conservancy launched its Watershed Explorers Program, in partnership with the San Dieguito River Park, San Diego Archaeological Center and Volcan Mountain Foundation. The educational and experiential program focuses on different aspects of the watershed, starting at the headwaters of the San Dieguito River on Volcan Mountain, then heading west to Lake Sutherland, the San Diego Archaeological Center, Sikes Adobe Historic Farmstead/Lake Hodges and, finally, the Birdwing Open Air Classroom at the San Dieguito Lagoon. Students visit different areas in the San Dieguito River Park, see wildlife, learn about diverse habitat types from forests to wetlands, and learn about the importance of the cultural and natural resources of the watershed. “If we who have worked to be stewards and created this watershed park don’t provide the next generation and young people the experience of the watershed and let them bond with nature, we wont have any future stewards to take care of it,” said Diane Coombs, former executive director of the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority.

TPHS music ensembles earn highest marks at SCSBOA Festival

La Jolla Cultural Partners

he Torrey Pines High School Music Department, under the direction of Amy Gelb, consists of five separate classes, and takes part in a number of music competitions throughout the year. The Advanced Orchestra and Wind Ensemble recently attended a festival run by the Southern California School Band and Orchestra Association. The musicians spend a great deal of time vigorously rehearsing their pieces, both as a group and independently, to prepare for the performances. The festival classifies music into five levels of competition, with five being the highest a group can enter. There are also four possible scores for each level: fair, good, excellent and superior. After the main performance, which occurs in front of three judges and consists of rehearsed music, the entire band moves to a sight-reading room; there, they are tested by playing music they have never seen or heard. The TPHS departments’ Wind Ensemble and Advanced Orchestra competed, both earning a superior from all judges. This marks the second year in a row the Wind Ensemble received a unanimous superior, and qualifies both ensembles to proceed onto the regional competition. All of the Torrey Pines musicians are eagerly practicing, reinvigorated by SCSBOA. — Lennart Elbe For more information about the music program at Torrey Pines, visit www.torreypinesmusic.com.

KAREN BILLING

Dr. Len Jurkowski (right), medical director of MD Today Urgent Care, with medical assistant and X-ray technician Tina Juaire and Bianca Blazer, patient coordinator.

MD Today Urgent Care now open in Carmel Valley BY KAREN BILLING Dr. Len Jurkowski loves to see a waiting room full of patients in his newly opened MD Today Urgent Care in Piazza Carmel. What he doesn’t like is making those people wait — with his clinic he is hoping to provide the community with convenient, quality medical care for most non-threatening medical conditions “without trekking to the emergency room and signing a lease.” The clinic has been open in Piazza Carmel on Valley Centre Drive since January, with a fully staffed rotation of experienced physicians ready to treat injuries and illness, coughs and colds, minor fractures, sutures and lacerations. They also offer sports physicals, workers’ compensation, and pre-employment physicals. “Last month there were only two days where patients seen weren’t in the double digits,” marketing director Kevin Schwerdtfeger said. “To be growing, we don’t take that for granted at all,” Jurkowski said. MD Urgent Care is affiliated with XiMed, a group of independent physicians all over San Diego County, which allows them to have easy access to doctors and services. If a patient comes in with an urgent need for specialty care, they can facilitate an easy transfer and get the patient seen right away, avoiding that long trip to the emergency room. “Our goal is to make it as easy and affordable as possible,” said Jurkowski, medical director of MD Today Urgent Care. Jurkowski is a family physician who practiced medicine in Canada for nearly 18 years before moving to San Diego. In San Diego, he worked in private practices before opening his own general practice at Scripps Memorial in 1999. Five years ago, he and his wife, Anne, a registered nurse, started exploring the opportunity of opening up their own urgent care. They opened the first MD Today Urgent Care in Scripps Ranch three and a half years ago, filling a big need

in a community that didn’t have easy access to medical care. “We were so lucky to find two vacant store fronts, answering that need ” said Jurkowski of their Scripps Poway Parkway location. “It’s similar to Carmel Valley as there’s nothing here really. We’re lucky to plunk down right in the middle of an established community.” MD Today is an in-network provider for most major PPO insurance payers, including Aetna, Blue Shield, Anthem Blue Cross, United Healthcare, Medicare and more. The clinic does serve patients who do not have insurance at a self-pay rate that Jurkowski believes is a reasonably fair price. MD Today also offers on-site x-rays and labs. “X-rays are a great service because there’s nowhere to really get an x-ray anymore without having to get into the big system,” Jurkowski said. “To have the ability to walk in somewhere and have the assurance that everything is OK through an X-ray is really a convenience.” With his two locations, Jurkowski enjoys partnering with the community by sponsoring sports teams, opening his clinic to Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts earning badges, and offering sports physicals for local youth leagues. They will go on site to provide team physicals, as they will on March 13 and March 20 at Westview High School. “It’s just a good way to help out,” Jurkowski said. MD Today is open Monday to Friday from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. with the hope to expand weekend hours in the future. No appointment is ever necessary. For more information, call (858) 720-0554 or visit MDToday.com. The clinic is located at 3830 Valley Centre Dr., Suite 702, San Diego (Carmel Valley), 92130. Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers.

Long-awaited restaurant Dolce at the Highlands opens in PHR BY KAREN BILLING The soft opening at the new Dolce at the Highlands restaurant hasn’t been very soft. The restaurant held “sneak peek” nights in late February and quietly opened its doors but the news spread fast in restaurant-hungry Pacific Highlands Ranch (PHR). On the first day, they had 60 tables. That turned into 80 on the second day and by Friday, Feb. 19, they served 200 tables. “There was a lot of hype and anticipation for us to open,” managing partner Steve Flowers said, happy to see such a welcome response. “We have a lot of friends and family who live right across the street here and they were just really pumped up.” The restaurant in the Village of Pacific Highlands Ranch, located across the street from Canyon Crest Academy, is a companion eatery to Dolce Pane E Vino in Rancho Santa Fe and aims to reflect all the “love, spirit, warmth, service and quality” of the original. The menu includes local, seasonal California-Italian fare and the restaurant will also have an expansive “to-go” counter with sandwiches, housemade marinara, pestos and extensive cheese selection. Dolce also prides itself on its “serious wine list.” Flowers has a long history in the restaurant industry, serving as captain for the Ritz Carlton in Houston before moving to San Diego. He opened eight restaurants while working with the Vigilucci Restaurant Group for 15 years and was the captain at Donovan’s.

KAREN BILLING

Dolce at the Highlands is now open in Pacific Highlands Ranch. Along with Dr. Anthony Smith, Flowers opened Dolce Pane E Vino in Rancho Santa Fe’s Del Rayo Center in December of 2009. “It’s a very special place for us over there because we’ve made all kinds of friends and it’s become a favorite watering hole for a lot of locals,” Flowers said. With the PHR location, Flowers said they were aiming for a “light and bright” ambiance, lots of modern white and wood. Twice as big as its Rancho Santa Fe counterpart, the restaurant features a marble bar, several long tables made of

gorgeous slabs of imported peroba and monkeypod wood, as well as booths along the walls and an intimate private dining room. A case of wine bottles reaches to the ceiling at the front entryway and a centerpiece of the PHR location is its mezzanine wine cellar above the dining room. The blue-hued, temperature controlled unit, a creation of Vista Wine Cellars, holds 1,000 bottles. The restaurant also has outdoor patio seating. Flowers, a “wine wizard” and level one sommelier, has prepared a wine list of 200

labels that will be available at Pacific Highlands Ranch. Heading up the kitchen is Chef Rhoelle Gabriel, crafting a menu that is unique from the sister restaurant. “Our pizzas and flatbreads are amazing,” Flowers said of the hand-tossed, double zero flour dough, wood-fired to create a delicious light and crisp crust. Calamari has also become a quick menu favorite as well as their handmade pastas. Gabriel and staff work in an “open theater” kitchen — a big picture window opens up to the main restaurant. Glowers said they designed the kitchen so that windows open up not only to the dining room but also to the outside so when people are driving into the Village they can see the action. The kitchen had quite the audience on Friday as students from nearby schools gathered on the sidewalk to check out pasta-makers at work. “We’re really excited about this second location,” Flowers said. “I’m estatic about the staff I have here. They are a staff full of rock stars. They are good, solid professionals who are passionate about what they do, which definitely makes my job easier.” Dolce at the Highlands restaurant is open Monday through Sunday for lunch 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. and dinner 5-10 p.m. For reservations, visit Dolcephr.com. The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch is between Interstate 5 and State Route 56 at Carmel Valley Road and Del Mar Heights Road, across the street from Canyon Crest Academy.

NC Rep presents Luckinbill’s ‘Clarence Darrow Tonight’

COURTESY

GARDENING EXPERT PAT WELSH TO SPEAK MARCH 21 IN DEL MAR The Del Mar Garden Club will host a community outreach program March 21 at 9 a.m. featuring acclaimed author and gardener Pat Welsh. Welsh will speak on the topic “Our Poor Pitiful Soil and What to Do About It.” This event is free to the public and will be held at the Del Mar Powerhouse Community Center (1658 Coast Blvd., Del Mar.)

Broadway’s Laurence Luckinbill brings his one-man show, “Clarence Darrow Tonight,” for two nights to the North Coast Repertory Theatre on March 21 and March 22 at 7:30 p.m. One of the most fascinating men in American history, attorney Clarence Darrow was simply the greatest humanist ever to exist. He was considered by his enemies as the Great Satan, an agitator and Defender of the Damned. His trials included the defense of John Scopes, who dared to teach evolution, the thrill killers Leopold and Loeb, child laborers and coal miners. Luckinbill brings this multi-faceted character to life in a truly riveting performance. Luckinbill has been writing and acting in his

own award-winning solo performances portraying four great Americans — Lyndon Johnson, Clarence Darrow, Teddy Roosevelt and Ernest Hemingway — for almost two decades. In his 60-plus- year career, Luckinbill has starred on Broadway, off-Broadway, in television and in movies. He has been awarded an Emmy Award, a Critic’s Choice Circle Award, a Silver Gavel Award, as well as a Tony nomination and a Drama Desk Award nomination. In 2007, he was inducted into the Arkansas Entertainers Hall of Fame. To order tickets, visit the website at www.northcoastrep.org, or call the box office, 858-481-1055. North Coast Repertory Theatre is located at 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach, CA 92075.

Horticultural Society garden tour includes Carmel Valley, Del Mar This year the San Diego Horticultural Society’s annual Spring Garden Tour will take garden lovers from the fertile low-lying gardens of Carmel Valley to the sloping hillside landscapes of Del Mar.

Diego’s distinctive climate. Tour gardens include a Hawaiian fantasy, a palm-studded paradise, a succulent jewel box and a celebration of the plants of Australia and New Zealand.

Lux Art Institute to hold new artist exhibit Lux Art Institute recently announced the exhibition of Margaret Griffith, the fourth of five resident artists at Lux during the 2015–2016 season. Griffith begins with photographs of gates that she transforms into flowing, organic sculptures. The twisting and billowing pieces, made from waterjet cut aluminum and hand cut paper, are installed along the wall, suspended from the ceiling, and piled on the floor. The result is one of visual and conceptual floating, as a previously rigid and recognizable architectural detail becomes abstract in form and function. In deconstructing and reconstructing a tangible object of residential living, Griffith both reexamines the function of the gate and explores its metaphorical role in creating divisions and boundaries in SEE EVENTS, B15

SPONSORED COLUMNS DR. VAN CHENG San Diego Vein Institute 760.994.9263

The Elderly and Varicose Veins: Added Risk, Simple Treatment One of the great complaints of aging is how the body slows down, either because of mobility issues or compromised circulation. Because of this decreased mobility, health issues can arise—for example, leg ulcers, which are especially problematic and can be debilitating in some cases. The cause of a leg ulcer is high pressure in the superﬁcial leg veins for one of two reasons: 1, valve failure in these superﬁcial veins, which we call varicose veins, or 2,

damage to the deeper veins in the leg (often the result of deep vein thrombosis). An especially compromised part of the leg is just above the ankle, where the blood that’s being pushed back up the leg is at its lowest, and often its narrowest, point. While there are various theories as to why the high pressure causes skin damage, the general idea is that substances leak out of the vein and collect under the skin at the ankle, which causes inﬂammation and skin deterioration. Signs to look for If you’re concerned about a potential leg ulcer, check your skin for dryness over or near the anklebone, especially on the inside of your leg. This is a particularly vulnerable spot as there is no ﬂesh between the skin and the bone to offer added protection. The dryness that appears can cause venous eczema, an itchy sensation (with some discoloration of the skin), referred to as haemosiderin deposition or

lipodermatosclerosis. Oftentimes, symptoms will be present for years before an actual ulcer develops. Treatment options The key is to treat this condition early on, which can reduce the chance of an ulcer. Vein ulcers are painful and debilitating, putting a person’s independence at risk as well. Waiting until an ulcer breaks out can take months or even years to heal, requiring ongoing special treatments and compression bandaging. There is even the risk that some ulcers will never heal in certain patients. Vein specialists can scan the leg veins to ﬁnd any valve problems and decide the best approach to take. In prevention, most treatments include the usual outpatient, minimally-invasive therapy used for varicose and spider veins, either foam sclerotherapy or laser. Because both are done in the ofﬁce, elderly patients don’t have to undergo the more serious general

anesthesia, which could compromise their health in a variety of ways. Prevention at any age As with all vein conditions, retaining (and maintaining) mobility is an essential part of leg health. While a workout routine may be difﬁcult to keep up in more advanced age, it is important to pursue activities that can move the legs, either by low-paced walking, low-impact water aerobics, yoga, or other stretching poses that can stimulate circulation in the legs. And as always, consider compression stockings to help with that blood ﬂow. If you’re at risk of a leg ulcer and want a consultation, or you’re ready to remove your spider or varicose veins, or if you just want more information on laser treatment or sclerotherapy, contact us at 760-944-9263 or visit our website at www. sdveininstitute.com.

pet of the week Possum, a 7-month old

Domestic Short Hair, is waiting for a patient new home. This sweet kitten was brought into our care in August after being attacked by a wild animal. He had a bit of a rough start, but his medical team quickly got him on the road to recovery. Due to his injuries, he unfortunately had to lose one of his back legs, and will need to be an indoor only cat in his new home. His foster mom says he is a very playful and talkative boy who loves to sleep in her bed every night. Due to his initial timidness, Possum would do best in a quiet home with adults only, preferably with another friendly cat companion for him to play with! Possum is available for adoption at the san Diego Humane society’s oceanside Campus, 572 Airport Road. To learn more about Possum call (760) 757-4357.

St. Paddy’s Day tribute to spuds

he noble potato — the most popular vegetable in this country — is enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and even dessert. In the 1800s, the tuber was so beloved by the Irish it became their diet staple. Unfortunately, they used only one variety for mass planting and when that species was struck by a potato blight in the 1840s, the whole country’s crops perished. More than a million people starved to death throughout Ireland in The Great Famine. This led to a mass emigration from the Emerald Isle to America, Britain and Australia. With St. Paddy’s Day around the corner, let’s pay homage to the 3.5 million Irish in this country — even though they were seeded by an original disaster that conferred the luck of them upon us.

Potato Perks

The precious root was once revered by Incas for healing wounds, easing childbirth, and even marking units of time by how long it took to cook a potato. The skin contains a concentration of nutrients, while the flesh also has a rich store of essential minerals and vitamins. This fat and gluten-free, high-fiber starch has more immune- boosting vitamin C than a tomato, more fluid-balancing potassium

than a banana, a load of B6 to ratchet up energy, along with magnesium, folate, iron and resistant starch to amp up colon health. The spud also has a slew of phytonutrients depending on the potato skin’s pigment. Keep the potato powerhouse healthful, by going light on the fattening toppings, such as butter, sour cream, crumbled bacon and wholemilk cheeses (and not to mention, deep-frying).

Lots of Appeal

While there are thousands of potato varieties sprouting around the world, here’s a short line-up of my faves: • White flesh and dark brown skin with a netted pattern, large Russets are the potato of choice for baking. The skin crisps while the center is fluffy with a rich graininess. Russets also hold up well for mashed potatoes. • Reds have rosy almost wax-like skins with creamy flesh. They add a pop of color to mashed and roasted potatoes and salads, and nicely absorb flavors for soups and stews. • Yukon Golds are sturdy spuds that keep their shape whether boiled, baked, grilled, roasted or pan-fried. The smooth, tan-colored skin surrounds a buttery flesh with a sweet, delicate flavor.

• Petite potatoes, diminutive versions of full-sized varieties, pack an intense flavor punch, and come in Technicolors — from red and yellow to brown and purple. They are ideal for roasting whole, leaving the skin intact. • Dark-skinned purple potatoes have flesh of various nuances from violet to lavender. These jeweled beauties add eye-candy; rich, nutty flavors; and loads of antioxidants to green salads, roasted roots, pastas and egg dishes. • There are several varieties of elongated fingerlings with waxy red, purple, white and yellow skins, and varying firm, flesh colors. Elegant and mild-flavored, fingerlings jazz up any meal whether roasted with fresh herbs or tossed in Nicoise salads.

Pick a Winner

Select firm, smooth-skinned spuds without blemishes, cuts, sprouting “eyes” (a sign it’s trying to grow), or discolorations — especially green patches. These are a concentration of Solanine caused by the potato’s over exposure to light. Discard or cut away these spots as they are bitter and dangerous to consume.

Tuber Trivia

• The potato plant is pollinated by bees. • The potato was the first vegetable grown in space by a joint NASA/ University of Wisconsin venture. • French fries were inaugurated in America in the White House during a dinner hosted by Thomas Jefferson.
