‘It’s time our community, kids had pools’ Pool committee urges SDUHSD to build its own pools, currently parents pay high rental fees BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union School District (SDUHSD) board has agreed to do a deeper dive into exploring the possibility of building a district pool or pools to support its high school aquatics programs.
A parent-led pool steering committee provided a report to the school board on April 6 in front of a full audience of swimmers and water polo players, families and coaches, at least one handling a yellow polo ball and one whose hair was still wet from practice. The committee requested that the district

og lovers enjoyed a special day at the 22nd Annual Ugly Dog Contest held April 9 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The event also featured contests for cutest dog, best trick, dog who looks like their owner and more. The event was hosted by Del Mar Kiwanis and San Diego Coastal Chamber of Commerce. Event proceeds will benefit the Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank and Celebration of Champions. (Above) Entrants for "Best Costume" included Mary Jane, Bailey, and Ruffie. See more on page B10.
BY JOE TASH The agency that runs the Del Mar Fairgrounds took another step toward transforming its under-used satellite wagering center into a 1,900-seat concert venue at its meeting on Tuesday, April 11, when its board agreed to spend $271,382 on additional design work. The action follows a vote in January, when the board of directors for the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the state-owned fairgrounds, approved an expenditure of $250,000 for preliminary design work. The board has now agreed to spend more than $500,000 on the proposed project. The board is expected to consider approving the overall project in concept at its next meeting on May 23. According to a report on Tuesday’s agenda, the total project cost is estimated at $11.95 million. A project timeline included in the report calls for work to begin in October, with project completion expected by May 1, 2018. The agency is considering a number of financing SEE FAIR, A20

Paradise Woods on her way to winning the Grade I Santa Anita Oaks on April 8 at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia.
BY KELLEY CARLSON Paradise Woods established herself as one of the top 3-year-old fillies in the country with a dominating performance in the Grade I Santa Anita Oaks on April 8 at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia. She finished 11 3/4 lengths ahead of favorite Abel Tasman - the largest margin of victory ever recorded in the race. The previous record was held by Silver Spoon, who won the 1959 edition by 10 1/2 lengths. “I have always been high on her,”

trainer Richard Mandella said. “I wasn’t that confident, but I fully expected her to run well. I didn’t think she would do this.” The filly - whose owners include Marty and Pam Wygod of Rancho Santa Fe - covered the 1 1/16 miles on the dirt in 1:42.53 under jockey Flavien Prat. The next stop for Paradise Woods is expected to be the Grade I Longines Kentucky Oaks - the filly equivalent of the Kentucky Derby - on May 5 at Churchill Downs in Louisville.

Forecast calls for an extra buggy spring and summer
BY PAUL SISSON Long-legged bugs that look like mosquitoes on steroids are the first wave in what’s expected to be a prolonged inundation of insects this year in San Diego County and much of California. Experts said heavy winter precipitation has fueled plant growth not seen since at least 2005, and that in turn should produce bumper crops of butterflies, moths, beetles, mosquitoes and even subterranean termites. “Because of the rain we’ve had, there is an abundance of food out there. Insects are famously reproductive; they lay a ton of eggs, so if there is food available, they will get to work,” said Michael Wall, curator of entomology at the San Diego Natural History Museum. Chris Conlan, the county’s supervising vector ecologist, put it in a more declarative way: “It’s going to be a buggy spring for sure.” Some of the critters are downright harmless — including
JAMES GATHANY
A mosquito gorges on blood during a feeding. Tipula silvestra, the crane fly, that previously mentioned creature that resembles a gigantic mosquito (but actually has no relation to mosquitoes and doesn’t eat them). Crane flies don’t bite or sting or otherwise hurt people during their short life span.
Other insects, such as termites and caterpillars, can wreak havoc on houses and gardens with their voracious appetite. Still others are considered public-health targets because they can carry devastating, even deadly, diseases. West Nile virus, dengue fever and the Zika virus are among the threats associated with mosquitoes, which breed in lakes to pools to droplets of standing water. “All of the conditions are right for us to see more mosquitoes this year than usual,” Wall said. Crane flies have been the first to create a buzz in San Diego County. Conlan said residents have been dialing in for weeks to report sightings of the insects. “People call because they think they’re big mosquitoes or daddy long legs. They look imposing,” he said. Why are there so many crane flies, often mistakenly called mosquito hawks, this year? Wall said their eggs, which are laid in soil, are best activated when exposed to certain settings. SEE BUGS, A22
DM Foundation to debut event ‘New Earth Day Del Mar: Local Solutions for Global Issues’ Event will be held April 22 at Powerhouse Community Center
The Del Mar Foundation is excited to launch its newest community event on Saturday, April 22. In conjunction with traditional Earth Day celebrations around the world, the Del Mar Foundation will be staging its own event, New Earth Day Del Mar: Local Solutions for Global Issues at the Powerhouse Community Center. This will not be a small-scale beach cleanup and informal talk similar to what the Foundation has sponsored in past years. This new event will feature a fun, educational interactive program to appeal to all ages along with a
healthy, environmentally sustainable dinner and snacks (along with local wines and beer) for attendees, all free of charge. The program will begin at 4 p.m. Powerhouse Park will be filled with a variety of fun, interactive exhibits designed to educate young families about the importance of mitigating the effects of climate change and preserving a clean, safe environment. The family portion of the day will include games, experiments and challenges, as well as healthy snacks for the youngest citizens. Beginning at 5:45 p.m., the program turns more serious as event participants will head inside the Powerhouse for a roundtable discussion of the
environmental challenges threatening the planet and courses of action. Experts from the following organizations, among others, will participate in the discussion: Scripps Institution of Oceanography, Climate Action Campaign, Del Mar Lagoon and Sustainability Committees, Clean Water Program, Nature and Culture, San Dieguito Joint River Valley Conservancy, Bike/Walk Del Mar, and the Surfrider Foundation. Dinner will follow the discussion, along with an opportunity to speak to the experts individually. New Earth Day Del Mar is the brainchild of former Foundation Special Events Chair Julie Maxey-Allison, long-time resident and
community volunteer Bruce Bekkar, and current Foundation Special Events Chair Sandra Hoyle. Their committee has been hard at work for months to plan a program that will serve as a launch pad for future action. As Maxey-Allison explained, “We are all so fortunate to live in such beautiful surroundings. It is important to educate our community as to the threats to our environment, so that we can take action and preserve the beauty for future generations.” Keep following the Del Mar Foundation’s Facebook page (@delmarfoundation) and Twitter (@delmarfound) for updates and registration information. All are invited to attend the event on April 22.

Local doctor pens page-turners of medical mayhem Author/doctor to speak at RSF Library April 20 BY JOE TASH As a urologist and surgeon, Kelly Parsons’ job is to take the best possible care of his patients and help them overcome serious illnesses and medical conditions. But when he sits before a keyboard to write one of his medical thrillers, his mission is completely different. He’s a storyteller and entertainer, and the picture he paints of doctors and hospitals is much darker. “My experience has been that people find my books appealing because we’re all patients, including myself, at some point in our lives. The books tap into the vulnerability we feel when we are patients. We are entrusting our health and our very lives to hospitals, institutions, doctors and nurses who are human beings and can potentially make mistakes,” said Parsons, whose day job is caring for patients at UCSD’s Moores Cancer Center. He’s also a professor at UCSD’s medical school. On Thursday, April 20, Parsons will speak at the Rancho Santa Fe Library about his latest book, “Under the Knife,” which was published in February by St. Martin’s Press. The event, which will be held from 6:30-8 p.m., is sponsored by the Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild, and the $45 admission includes a private reception and signed copy of the book. For information or reservations, call 858-756-4780 or visit www.rsflibraryguild.org.
Dr. Kelly Parsons
COURTESY
Parsons’ new novel- his second - is about a vengeful, grieving husband who stalks the surgeon whom he blames for his young wife’s untimely death during an operation. His first book, “Doing Harm,” which came out in 2014, is about a serial killer on the loose in a hospital. In both books, he used his medical knowledge to provide detail and immerse his readers in the experience that he conjured on the page. “They complement one another,” he said of juggling careers as a doctor and novelist. Although they require him to “flex different
sides of my brain,” he said writing offers him a chance to refresh his mind and step away from the daily rigors of his medical practice. “You can’t think about medicine 24/7, he said. “Writing for me represents an escape and it refreshes me.” Parsons said he gets up early to work on his novels (he’s currently writing his third book), before heading to the office for a day of practicing medicine. He also writes on weekends when he gets the chance. And he plans to continue his dual-track career for the foreseeable future. “I love both and I really don’t want to give

up either one,” he said. Another way the two complement each other, he said, is that doctors are trained as storytellers, listening to their patients and crafting a narrative that can be used to help them surmount their medical conditions. Parsons said he has always loved to write, from the time he was growing up in La Jolla. During college, as a history major, he wrote non-fiction papers, but he began to compile notes for his first novel as he was finishing his medical training. He said writing fiction helped him emotionally process things he saw and experienced as a young doctor. Parsons attended The Bishop’s School in La Jolla, where his two children, ages 13 and 15, now attend. His wife is a pediatrician who practices in La Jolla. After his first book was published, Parsons’ writing career got a boost when horror novelist Stephen King picked up the novel at a bookstore, read it and posted a rave review on Twitter. “Best damn medical thriller I’ve read in 25 years. Terrifying OR scenes, characters with real texture,” King wrote. Parsons said his books don’t seem to have scared away his patients in spite of his spine-tingling tales of things going very wrong in medical settings. On the contrary, he said, they have been enthusiastic about his writing and often bring in copies of his books for him to sign. “I’ve found it’s a very fun part of my practice now,” he said.

Foundation offers transportation, relief for children with cancer BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Sixteen-year-old Yuntasha can’t live the life of a normal teenager. The San Diego girl was diagnosed with a stage 4 brain tumor last April, her second battle with cancer. On top of that, she also suffers from water diabetes, obesity, hormone problems, a learning disability and hypertension disorder, her mother said. And through it all, asthma makes breathing and walking to and from her doctor’s appointments difficult for the girl. That’s where the Emilio Nares Foundation stepped in to help kids such as Yuntasha. The San Diego-based organization offers transportation for families in San Diego, Imperial and Orange counties to doctor’s appointments for children suffering from cancer and blood diseases. It was founded in 2003 by Richard Nares and his wife Diane Nares, whose son Emilio died of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in October 2000 at the age of 5. The boy had been diagnosed two years prior when he experienced prolonged colds, fevers and random bruising, his parents said. “About two years after Emilio passed, Richard and I started conversations about how sad it was for so many people that we witnessed [in that they] they didn’t have support nearby [where they lived],” Diane Nares said. “They were doing this alone, and we discovered there was a whole economically underserved group of parents that were at Rady Children’s Hospital. We knew that they were struggling because they didn’t have a car, and they were taking buses to get to appointments.” Yuntasha’s mother, LaToya Johnson, who does not own a car, said her daughter has trouble walking down the hill to her home, then to various modes of transportation like multiple buses and a trolley just to reach the front steps of the hospitals. Now, the Emilio Nares Foundation van picks Yuntasha up from her doorstep before her appointments, drives her

Local Tahitian dancer blooms in first competition BY KAREN BILLING In her first-ever Tahitian dance competition, 12-year-old Gwendolyn Kealani Gordy won first place at Ori Fest in Las Vegas on March 25. Gwendolyn, a sixth grader at Solana Pacific Elementary School, was inspired to take up dancing after her last trip visiting family in Hawaii. She started dancing just a year and a half ago with the local dance troop Te Rahiti Nui and has taken to it very naturally. “Gwen’s love of everything Polynesian comes from her time spent with family on the Big Island of Hawaii,” said her mother Raini. “Her ancestors come from the old towns of Hawi and Hilo. Her grandma Trudy was and is a beautiful hula dancer.” In the competition, which featured 216 contestants from 26 different dance groups, Gwendolyn was entered in the 9-11 beginner/intermediate class for girls who have not yet won first place in competition. (Her 12th birthday was just last week.) “Although it was Gwen’s first competition, many of the girls were experienced competitors so we went
COURTESY
Gwendolyn Kealani Gordy into the competition just hoping to have a nice experience and get over the stage fright she has dealt with since she was young,” Raini said. “We were all thrilled when she got on stage and was able to perform so well. Somehow she was able to overcome the nerves and appear at home on the stage.” In Tahitian dance competitions, the girls are unaware of what beats
the live drummer will be playing. “What these girls do is especially impressive because they have to improvise onstage and make it look seamless,” Raini said. When Gwendolyn was called the winner, the Gordy family was “ecstatic” as were her “ra’atiras” (teachers) Janice Minabe and Michelle Limon. Minabe personally made the beautiful head hei and costume Gwendolyn wore from fresh flowers and leaves from Hawaii. The public can get a taste of Gwendolyn and her group’s Tahitian dancing at San Diego Shaka Fest on Saturday, April 29 at Crown Point Mission Bay, a celebration of Hawaiian culture, arts and athletics (sandiegoshakafest.com). The group will also perform at the Pacific Islander Festival in Mission Bay in September. For anyone interested in learning Tahitian dance, all ages and levels are welcome at Te Rahiti Nui. They offer cardio fitness classes and Tahitian drumming lessons as well as modern and traditional Hawaiian and Tahitian dance. Find them on Facebook at Te Rahiti Nui.

Local woman gives shoes to the needy BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A Solana Beach woman is giving back to San Diego County’s homeless population by giving them proper shoes. Adele Levy, in partnership with Anthony’s Shoe Repair, donates old pairs of shoes to the homeless men and women she meets each Sunday at Father Joe’s Villages in Downtown San Diego. Her volunteer work at Father Joe’s began about four years ago through Congregation Beth Israel in La Jolla’s Hunger Project program, which provides food to the homeless people at Father Joe’s. “It’s a wonderful experience,” said Levy, a retired teacher who became known by the homeless people as the greeter who gave them Hershey’s Kisses. “It’s sad to see the number of people living on the streets. When you look out the window at Father Joe’s, it’s just like, ‘Oh my gosh. Tent city in the streets.’” About two years ago, Levy, who also donates clothes dropped off at the Rancho Coastal Humane Society, decided to visit the Anthony’s Shoe Repair location in Solana Beach to ask if they had any shoes they were going to throw away. After Anthony Khattar, the owner of the store, gave her that first box of shoes, she brought it to Father Joe’s that Sunday. It has become a tradition ever since. Khattar said it feels good to give back. “It means a lot to me,” he said. “I'm with shoes all day long and people can take shoes for granted. When people bring

Levy, who grew up in Los Angeles and moved to Solana Beach about 15 years ago, said it felt only natural to her to give back. “I’ve had a very fortunate life,” she said. “I grew up in a family where you do nice things for everybody.

Del Mar residents named ‘Philanthropists of the Year’
promoting educational opportunities for children living in San Diego’s underserved communities. Chris and Pat were the first in their families to graduate from college, and the transformative effect college had on their lives inspired their family to devote time and philanthropic resources to ongoing sponsorship and management of a college scholarship program for students at San Diego-based institutions: The Preuss School UCSD, Gompers Preparatory Academy, Barrio Logan College Institute, and Borrego Springs High School. To complement their scholarship work, the Weils seek out and support other organizations working to improve the lives of children in San Diego. Among those is Center for Community Solutions. Center for Community Solutions holds the Tea & Tonic each year during April in recognition of Sexual Assault Awareness Month. The event honors survivors of relationship and sexual violence. 1 in 4 women will be a victim of sexual assault in their lifetime. Ending sexual violence requires a village and CCS works tirelessly with its supporters on one goal – to end the cycle of violence. Visit www.weilfamilyfoundation.org and www.ccssd.org.

On April 1, the local Kiwanis clubs and Key clubs gathered in Poway to package 70,000 meals to be distributed to charities that feed the hungry in San Diego County. Ingredients were packaged that required only the addition of hot water in order to provide nutritious breakfasts or dinner meals for the recipients. This is an example of the many projects that Kiwanis clubs conduct each year. This year, the Del Mar Kiwanis Club participants were Steve Gardella and Chuck Phillips.

Local man to run 250 miles in Greece for charity BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Cardiff man will run nearly 300 miles in Greece next month to raise awareness and funds for charity. Lance Cummings, 57, is running with nearly 20 athletes from all over the United States and Europe on the 300 of Sparta Endurance Run. The eight-day venture through rugged terrain, beginning May 7, essentially replicates the Spartan soldiers’ journey from Athens to Thermopylae nearly 2,000 years ago. “This is an iconic location that changed the history of the world and the course of the world,” Cummings said. “It’s also a challenge, and I wanted to initially do it as a challenge, but then came upon the idea of making it a give-back challenge to raise money for specific charities.” During the event — which tackles 30 miles for each of the eight days, culminating to about 250 miles — Cummings is raising money for the Glen Doherty Memorial Foundation.

Three buddies from Ashley Falls Elementary School are keeping their tradition alive with another great performance at the annual Carlsbad 5000 Junior. Kids come from all over California and surrounding states to compete, with 75-100 runners representing each age group. The boys gave it their best and brought home great times. The 1 mile results: Lachlan Saam, 4th place in the 8-year-old division with a time of 6:44; Luca Caruso, 1st place in the 9-year-old division with a time of 5:42; Ian Saam, despite runner’s cramps, still crossed the finish line strong with a time of 8:05 in the 10-year-old division. The boys would like to thank Ashley Falls PE teacher Desiree McBride for organizing “Mileage Club” every day before school which serves as the backbone of their training. High fives all around!

Local Girl Scouts connect with Brookdale seniors Carmel Valley’s Junior Girl Scout Troop 3042 members have completed their Bronze Award, the highest award a Junior Girl can receive. To earn the award, the girls decided to reach out to help the senior citizens of the community, those living at Brookdale Senior Resident Living Center in Carmel Valley. The troop learned that residents of Brookdale really love doing art so they put together a two-week drive at Solana Ranch and Solana Pacific schools to collect art supplies for the seniors. Additionally, they spent the afternoon of April 2 teaching some of the residents a spring craft and singing to them.

D
el Mar takes pride in its public safety. We have our own lifeguard service which makes our beaches safe for residents and visitors. We have our own fire department, which responds quickly to emergencies. We even have a one-person police officer who patrols our beaches and parks; the Del Mar Ranger. For many years, the City has known that the costs of city-wide police services, which we contract through the San Diego Sheriff, were escalating faster than the cost of living. Del Mar is one of nine contract cities that receive services from the Sheriff at a fixed rate that is the same for all nine cities. We have no control over our costs, and the service level is not up to national standards. The average response times to service calls for the type of crime we have in Del Mar is 45 minutes, when it takes 5 minutes to travel the length of Del Mar. In 2011, the City Council assigned the Finance Committee the task of analyzing the City’s long-term Sheriff contract obligations and providing recommendations on how to reduce future costs. That began a five-year period of
intense study that included the hiring of independent consultants with law enforcement expertise, the outreach to small cities with their own police departments, and constructive involvement of the Sheriff’s department. The Finance Committee looked at many options, including staying as we are, spending more for expanded Sheriff services, hiring private patrols, and joining other cities with police services. All the options, except for our own police department, had either jurisdictional or cost problems, or would not meet the quality needs of Del Mar. Only the small police department allows us to control costs and improve the quality of service. What are the quality goals that Del Mar would expect from law enforcement services? A police force needs to know the community. It needs to be supervised by individuals who respond to local needs. A police force must stay in the City and not be dispatched to other jurisdictions. Response times to residents’ call for service should be 5 minutes or less. It should spend time in crime prevention and patrol. And it should have the ability to handle the
seasonal fluctuations of Del Mar’s large visitor population. After all this effort, the Finance Committee unanimously recommended that if the City wanted to control costs and improve services that the City consider forming its own small police department. In 2016, the City Council then asked the City Manager to prepare a detailed study describing how a police department would be implemented if the Council decided to create a Del Mar police department. On April 3, the City Manager gave his report to Council. It was a very detailed, complete plan for implementation. Bottom line, the City now spends $2,700,000 for the Sheriff contract, the Ranger program, and parking enforcement. A Del Mar police department, which would include all three functions, would cost $2,400,000. The staffing increase would be from 15.8 FTE to 19.0 FTE, an addition of 4 people. That would provide Del Mar with two patrol officers, 24 hours a day, that remained in Del Mar handling local crime issues. With any recommended improvement, there are people
who oppose change. Some will use political methods to stop this recommendation from even being debated and considered by our Del Mar community. I would highly recommend that you watch the video recording of the City Council meeting for April 3 at www.delmar.ca.us; city council, video on demand, Item #15. You will see the detailed report given by our City Manager and the response of your City Councilmembers. Watch it. It is very educational. Now my hope has always been that we could spend the next few months vetting this proposal with our residents. There is a tremendous amount of detail and information about how this would work and what benefits we would see in our neighborhoods. Once everyone has a chance to digest the ideas, the Council could get feedback from everyone and decide whether to move forward. To deny the community the opportunity to learn about the details and then discuss the proposal is very disturbing. Based on all the good work of the Finance Committee, the independent consultants and the City Manager, I strongly support our own police department. We plan to devote a future Council work meeting to developing an in-depth understanding of the Police Department proposal, and then hopefully share all the details with you, our residents.

Donations needed for Grad Nite Canyon Crest Academy parent volunteers are already hard at work on preparations for the Class of 2017 Grad Nite (June 16) and they need the help of community members. Each year the CCA committee works tirelessly to put on this event for CCA’s graduating seniors. It is a safe, fun-filled all- night party held on the CCA campus - providing the students with a private and secure venue to celebrate with their classmates. In order to keep it affordable, parents and the community are needed to provide donations. Local retailers are encouraged to donate items and gift cards for the raffle drawings that
are held throughout the night. Restaurants and bakeries can donate snacks - there are multiple food and drink stations that need to be stocked. Anyone can donate bottled water, raffle prizes and gift cards (perhaps save those cards you receive at the holidays that you are aren’t planning on using and forward them on to the Grad Nite CCA committee). And, of course, cash donations are always welcome. Vendor donors will be acknowledged on the CCA Foundation Grad Nite website and in the monthly e-mail blasts. For more information or to coordinate a donation pick-up, please e-mail ccagradnite@yahoo.com.

T Rex FROM FAIR, A1 options, including a construction loan and the use of cash reserves. So far, an architectural firm hired by the district has completed a project master plan, floor plans for the main floor and balcony of the concert venue, and sight line studies to illustrate views of the stage from different seating areas. The diagrams and simulations were displayed at Tuesday’s board meeting. The next phase of work will include additional design work, as well as a more detailed cost estimate for the project. Gary Reist, the fairgrounds’ deputy general manager, said it appears the building will not require seismic retrofitting for earthquake safety. But he said a final determination on that issue will come in the next phase of design work. Also to be determined is whether the California Coastal Commission will require an amendment to the coastal development permit that it issued for the 91,000-square-foot building
Flaming Flamingoes, 6thgrade when it was constructed in 1991. At the request of Coastal Commission staff, the district has studied potential traffic and parking impacts from the proposed concert venue, and found they would not be significant, said director David Watson. However, the commission has still not determined whether a permit amendment will be required, he said. Fairgrounds officials contend that additional approval by the Coastal Commission will not be necessary because the satellite wagering facility, called the Surfside Race Place, was originally permitted for 5,000 patrons per day, and the proposed concert venue crowds will not exceed those totals. Currently, only a few hundred patrons visit the satellite wagering center on a daily basis. Although Watson voted against a motion last month authorizing exploration of obtaining a construction loan of up to $13 million for the project, he said that was because the 22nd DAA staff had
not provided the board with enough information about the proposal. This month, he said, the board report included the information he wanted to see, including cost estimates, a timeline and project milestones. “I have always liked this project,” Watson said Tuesday. “I think it’s the right thing to do.” As proposed, the fairgrounds would partner with the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach to book acts for the new concert venue. The 22nd DAA has been exploring various alternative uses for the Surfside Race Place over the past several years. Before settling on the concert venue proposal, the district considered such possibilities as a high-end movie complex, a bowling and entertainment center, and a micro-brewery. Attendance at the satellite wagering center has been dropping for years, and district officials have cited such factors as the rise of Internet gambling and Indian casinos for the decline.
www.delmartimes.net FROM POOL, A1 Steven Prince and John Miller has gotten the farthest any pool effort has gone in the district, coming up with a comprehensive design template and construction costs. Prince, a principal with the architectural firm Ruhnau, Ruhnau and Clarke whose portfolio includes many school projects, took the lead in developing a conceptual plan for all four high school sites. According to Lynch, the committee was instructed not to include the district-owned La Costa Valley site in their report — while playing fields have been developed on the 22-acre site in Carlsbad, the district remains firm in reserving the space for a potential middle school. Prince created design plans for a 25-meter by 30-meter pool and a small support building with lockers and shower facilities. The cost of building one pool would be $5.7 million plus soft costs, around $6.8 million a site. Annual maintenance fees would be $380,867 a pool. SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill pointed out that the cost estimates don’t include potential site work as he noted the location tapped at San Dieguito is on a slope. “We do understand that pools are expensive but it’s one of the few sports set forth in the education code and we are not providing aquatic instruction to our students,” Lynch said, noting aquatic PE would not only meet education standards but it is also teaching a skill that could save a life. Currently all four high school aquatics programs are without a home pool and through donations, parents pay $100,000 across the district to rent pool facilities. On the agenda just that night was approval for two pool leases — $8,000 to the Boys & Girls Club of San Dieguito for the Torrey Pines swim team, paid for by the foundation and $5,096 to Cathedral Catholic for the Canyon Crest Academy swim team. “We are the only district that has parents paying for pool rental fees,” Lynch said, noting that when all of the donated funds go toward renting facilities, there’s nothing left over for equipment. “By not having pools at our school sites, I feel like there’s a huge barrier of entry for kids who want to do aquatic sports,” said La Costa Canyon (LCC) parent Susan Siljander, who said that it might be prohibitive for some kids when they see that practice is 10 miles away, is not held right after school – not to mention a $500 fee keeps potential swimmers or polo players from ever dipping their toes into the sport. Several parents remarked that it is tough for students to balance athletic and academic lives as the team schedules revolve around available pool time. Some teams’ practices don’t begin until as late as 7 p.m. or 8 p.m., meaning late nights and inadequate sleep. Canyon Crest Academy swimmers and water polo teams get the early shift and practice at 5:15 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. at Cathedral Catholic. Daniel Sullivan, who helped start a water polo team as a student at San Dieguito in 2009 and now serves as an assistant coach, said finding pools is a definite challenge for teams. Their program started at the Jewish Community Center pool in La Jolla, a 30-minute drive for 6:30-8:30 p.m. practices. The next season the only open time was 8 p.m. at the UCSD pool, again a long drive for athletes and families. They then split time between the UCSD and the Monroe Street pool in Carlsbad before finding the Alga Norte pool in Carlsbad only three weeks before the next season started. It came with a cost of
NORTH COAST - APRIL 13, 2017 - PAGE A21
$15,000 and that cost fell to the parents. “It’s an uncomfortable position to ask for donations to support rentals of facilities,” said LCC polo parent liaison Kristi Simmons. LCC polo practices are held at Encinitas YMCA Magdalena Ecke and each player is requested to pay $400 for facilities and $100 for transportation costs. While they have never been told so directly, the impression many parents believe is that if they don’t pay, the program will be eliminated. As many students get PE credit for playing sports, Simmons said it is essentially “pay to play,” which is a violation of the state constitution. Shannon Delaney, LCC swim team liaison, said she swam for Torrey Pines High as a teenager and this is not a new problem. “It’s time our community and kids had pools,” said Delaney, who once coached a Torrey Pines High School swim team at the Torrey Pines Lodge hotel pool. Currently the LCC team has a 7-9 p.m. slot at the YMCA. “I think it’s very clear that without the endless support of parents and coaches that our district would not have an aquatics program.” Funding as always is the biggest piece of the puzzle. Lynch said there are opportunities for grants and for the district to partner with another organization — the Boys & Girls Club of San Dieguito has said it would be interested. Lynch also said there is the possibility the district could receive Prop 51 Public School Facilities Bond Initiative (which passed in November 2016) reimbursements for Prop AA capital outlays for new construction at Pacific Trails and modernization at Earl Warren. The district could receive just under $18 million in reimbursement money. Additionally, Lynch said as the district is operating at least $5 million under budget on Prop AA projects, there could be a surplus to tap for pool uses. Dill said when there are savings, it is rolled into the next project or used to accelerate other projects. At the end there could be a surplus but, currently, every dollar is committed and additionally they are seeing the cost of construction creeping up. Dill said they will also have to do their due diligence to ensure a pool facility fits into the Prop AA voter-approved bond language and that it could be a legitimate use of a surplus. One parent in the audience said that the board seemed to be resistant but Prince dismissed that accusation. “The district has been open arms with us, they’ve been very cooperative,” said Prince. “Everybody knows my passion toward this thing, I want to make this happen too but I want to do it in the right way, in a way that’s respectful.” Parents at the meeting pushed for the pool committee to be formalized but Dill noted it wasn’t formerly agendized so they could not take that step. SDUHSD Board President Amy Herman affirmed that the board is committed to exploring the ideas of a pool and spending more time looking at the logistics. “The pool rental fees I do see as an equity issue and that’s something I would like to address with next year’s budget if we can,” Herman said, to the applause of many aquatics parents in the audience. “I think that’s an important issue…. we can at least help in the meantime until we can physically have pools.” Dill agreed that the board’s goal would be to relieve the pressure on aquatics parents and cover 100 percent of facilities costs as they are working on the budget for the 2017-18 school year.

FROM BUGS, A2 “They do best in moist, decaying leaves and dead organic matter, and there has been a lot of that recently,” he said. The next likely insect to take flight in explosive numbers this spring is currently chewing contentedly on vegetation from Borrego Springs and Ramona to Torrey Pines and Chula Vista. Thousands upon thousands of distinctive, green caterpillars will soon turn into white-lined sphinx moths. These moths will be most prevalent in the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, where the wildflower bloom this year has been particularly impressive. But they’re also likely to swarm out closer to the coast. These moths have been known to show up prolifically after notably wet winters. Conlan said Anza-Borrego visitors may get an up-close look at this species. “It can be very common to the point where they’re crisscrossing the roads in huge numbers,” he said. Arthur Shapiro, a professor of evolution and ecology at UC Davis, said in most years, the white-lined sphinx moth migrates northward into California’s central valley and eventually passes over the Sierra Nevada mountains to feast on monsoonal desert plants in July. This year, he said, it’s unclear whether that pattern will happen. The Yolo Bypass, a flood-diversion channel between Davis and Sacramento that’s usually dry and full of plants that the moths like to eat, is covered by 19 feet of water at the moment. “If the white-lined sphinx does make it up here, I don’t know where they’ll breed,” Shapiro said. Ironically, the situation could end up
helping out the Central California butterfly population in mid- to late summer. After water in the bypass eventually recedes, many butterfly species might very well swarm in and lay their eggs in areas that have been under water and are now devoid of natural predators, Shapiro noted. “From July through October, the numbers can be incredible in areas like this that have been under water during the spring. It restarts the system, takes things back to zero and lets everything redevelop,” he said. Another species marked by metamorphosis, the painted lady butterfly, generally shows up in massive numbers during wet years. It starts as caterpillars munching on desert plants in the late winter and then following vegetation blooms all the way up the state, sometimes reaching Oregon. Both Conlan and Wall forecast a major showing of these butterflies in the coming months for San Diego County and beyond. Shapiro said the moisture-laden winter of 2005 produced a writhing mass of painted lady caterpillars that quickly turned into swarms of butterflies moving northwest from the state’s southern deserts to the verdant, blooming fields in the central valley. “You can’t believe the numbers that were involved in 2005. They were so thick that they were disrupting traffic,” Shapiro said. Elevation also plays a role in the springtime behavior of butterflies. Many species, such as the highly migratory California Tortoise Shell Butterfly, are greatly dependent on winter conditions in the mountains. While drought years, including 2016, generally lead to smaller

populations of these species, a thick insulating blanket of snow tends to help more of the butterfly pupae survive through the coldest months and then emerge when the snow melts. Because the snowpack in California’s mountains is extremely thick this year, Shapiro predicts a late butterfly season in those elevations. So will there be swarms of butterflies in mountain meadows this summer? That’s hard for Shapiro to foresee. “We’re waiting with bated breath to see what happens when all that snow finally melts,” Shapiro said. Because the current profusion of vegetation has enabled a lot of caterpillars to find food at lower elevations, Wall said he also expects to find an increase in the population of Calosoma beetles — which are often called caterpillar hunters due to their eating habits. Termites are another insect group that should have a markedly bigger presence this year, Shapiro said. Significant increases in soil moisture can help termite populations expand for up to three consecutive years. “It should be a great year to be a termite exterminator,” Shapiro said. In terms of the human health aspects of a super buggy 2017, mosquitoes pose the greatest concern to medical and vector-control experts. Conlan said mosquitoes usually don’t begin appearing until May, when the weather warms up, and the Aedes aegypti variant that transmits Zika is not prevalent until August. The various kinds of Aedes mosquitoes also can spread dengue fever, chikungunya virus and yellow fever. The county government’s vector-control
crews are already dosing large bodies of standing water with larvicide pellets that can keep mosquito larvae from becoming droves of the blood-sucking insects. These workers are having to visit more places because some sites that had dried out from prolonged drought are suddenly in play again, holding moisture for the first time in years. For instance, Lake Hodges in Escondido and the eastern reaches of Los Peñasquitos Lagoon east of the Torrey Pines Reserve are receiving repeated scrutiny. So is Lake Rancho Viejo, a small body of water at the center of a community just east of Interstate 15 and south of Highway 76 near Fallbrook. Lake Rancho Viejo “hadn’t had water for probably two years, and now it has come back onto our radar screen,” Conlan said. “It will probably end up getting treated by air when we start up our aerial drop program in about a month.” Currently, there are 48 locations listed on the county’s aerial larvicide application schedule, which the public can view at bit.ly/aerialdrop. Last summer, county crews also started conducting comprehensive neighborhood spraying operations because Aedes mosquitoes were detected near the homes of patients who tested positive for Zika virus after traveling abroad. The spraying is intended to keep the virus from moving into the local mosquito population, which would significantly elevate the threat of Zika infections to all local residents — and especially pregnant women, whose babies are at risk of suffering a devastating brain defect called microcephaly. — Paul Sisson is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

become really close to those families. We’re really on the ground with them and in touch with what goes on. We really pride ourselves that we’re part of their treatment.” Diane Nares said over the years it has become difficult to see families go through the same situation they went through, but she is grateful something like the Emilio Nares Foundation exists for them. The families are also thankful, she said, adding that a few moms have named their sons after Emilio in his honor. “It’s been a bit taxing emotionally because going through that is so rough and we lost Emilio,” she said. “But probably the most gratifying feeling is when a mom or a dad comes up and thanks us. They say they get some time to feel a sense of relief, if only for that 30-minute drive. That’s worth everything.” For more information about the Emilio Nares Foundation, visit www.enfhope.org.
Intelligence, a values-led market research firm, will host the fifth annual Drives for Rides golf tournament to benefit the foundation at the Encinitas Ranch Golf Course. An added bonus of the vans is they are sterilized to keep the children away from harmful germs, carry healthy snacks and provide toys and books to keep the kids occupied. The foundation also provides snack bags to the hospital for kids and developed “Loving Tabs” shirts that have snaps near the shoulder for doctors to have easier access to a child’s chest port to administer chemotherapy and other medications. It also has a resource center at Rady Children’s Hospital. “Our emphasis is that we’re a hands-on organization,” Richard Nares said. “We

Local student showed off unique skill on Little Big Shots BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY n Encinitas girl showcased an unusually athletic talent April 9 on NBC’s “Little Big Shots.” Olive Chine, 13, displayed her hobby of jumping over three-foot hurdles on all fours, like a horse, which is a talent she picked up a few years ago after growing up riding horses in Rancho Santa Fe. As 6 year old girls, Olive and her friends would pretend to be horses by jumping over hurdles, like chairs and broomsticks, with just their legs. Over the next few years, Olive took the hobby further by incorporating her arms into the jumps. “I kind of just picked up this thing where instead of being on two legs and jumping over hurdles, I kind of just bear-crawled on the ground and tried to fling myself over jumps,” said the eighth grader at The Grauer School. “At first, it wasn’t very graceful but then I just kept at it and eventually I got really good.” She limits the hurdles to just over three feet because they can strain her body otherwise if they are too tall. The jumps take a lot of core, leg, shoulder and arm strength, she said. “My arm muscles can get pretty sore sometimes after doing it,” she said. “I feel like I’ve always been in shape to do this, but it definitely keeps me exercising.” Olive, who formerly practiced gymnastics, eventually started an Instagram page, @Living.to.Jump, which currently boasts more than 6,100 followers. Eventually, after the page gained popularity,

Olive Chine, 13, of Encinitas, jumps on all fours over a hurdle, like a horse. it prompted Olive to email shows like The Ellen DeGeneres Show. While she wasn’t picked for Ellen, the executives of Little Big Shots — co-produced by DeGeneres and comedian Steve Harvey — saw Olive’s application and gave her a call to film for the show in May 2016. Each episode of Little Big Shots, hosted by Harvey, features talented children who show off their skills. The show is not a competition. Many of the kids sing, dance and tell jokes. Olive is the only one so far to jump and run like a horse. “At first, Steve Harvey was really confused when I told him I run like a horse,” Olive said. “Then I showed him.”
An arena was set up for the girl with several jumps where she got to show off her talent. “When I got over the first jump, the look on Steve’s face was just completely shocked,” Olive said. She said she wasn’t really nervous to be on the show and enjoyed the star treatment she received. “It was so weird having your own trailer and people pampering you,” she said. “I could get used to that.” Olive — who her mother said weighs about 100 pounds — fears she might not be able to continue the hobby as she grows bigger and gravity becomes more of an enemy. Her mother, Kara Chine, said she is proud
A 13-year-old Encinitas girl named Olive, right with host Steve Harvey, performed on the TV show “Little Big Shots” on NBC April 9. of her daughter. “She’s always been a character,” the mother said, adding that going on the show and submitting the applications was all Olive’s idea. “I’m proud that she takes initiative like that. She’s very independent, creative and she’s just a great kid.” Kara Chine said that on Instagram, sometimes people will call her daughter names, but Olive just brushes it off. Most of the comments are positive, she said. “She honestly doesn’t care,” the mother said. “She just has the toughest skin and she has all these other people who are so supportive and big fans. I think that was the thing that shook me the most. There are more people out there in the world that think this is cool like we do.”

Touring powerhouses Drew Holcomb and The Neighbors headed to the Belly Up BY ROB LEDONNE It was over a decade ago that Drew Holcomb and his band The Neighbors first joined forces to collaborate musically and hit the road. To Holcomb, it feels like he’s made the most of the past 12 years. “People always say time flies,” he explains from his home in Nashville during a break in his hectic schedule. “That’s definitely true on one hand, but on the other hand I look back and think about all of the things we’ve done and experienced. We’ve played over 1,800 shows around the world. There’s enough memories and records to fill up that time, so it feels like we’ve made the most of it.” Holcomb and his bandmates are ready to add another gig to that immense list of engagements when they hit Solana Beach’s Belly Up on Wednesday, April 26. (“This will be our second time there,” says Holcomb. “We love it, we had a blast last time.”) The show is in celebration of the release of their latest album. Released last month and dubbed Souvenir, it’s their follow-up to 2015’s Medicine which entered the Top 10 on Billboard’s Folk and Independent album charts, and includes a variety of classic Holcomb tracks, including a protest anthem called “Fight for Love” in reaction to the election of Donald Trump. “The biggest change with this record is that I co-wrote these songs with the band,” Holcomb notes, who initially started off as a solo act before forming The Neighbors with Rich Brinsfield and Nathan Dugger. “The last two records I wrote alone and we collaborated later on the recording process. For this one,
Admittedly, the view from the top is grand.

Drew Holcomb and his band The Neighbors will perform at the Belly Up April 26. I wanted to try something different.” As a result, the outcome turned out different than usual as well. “I think it brought a totally fresh musicality to it. We started with the pre-existing notion that we’re a band that records in real time and try not to fix any mistakes we may make. We let ourselves build on that more than we have in the past, and on this one we made our sonic landscape fuller as well.” Having over a decade of studio under their belts hasn’t hurt ether. “The studio part has become less intimidating and more comfortable,” says Holcomb. “I feel more confidence in the studio now as a 12- year veteran of making music than there was when I was 22 and had never even sung on a studio mic.” What defines the band, however, is their penchant for a life on the road - a recent Rolling Stone article dubbed them “touring favorites” - and it’s a lifestyle that Holcomb has become accustomed to over the years. “Touring is a bizarre existence in a way,” he explains.
“Your schedule gets flipped. The adrenaline rush of your day comes at 9 p.m. and then it takes some hours to come down from that after the show. Meanwhile, when I’m home I’m usually in bed by midnight because I get up with my kids at 6:30 a.m., so it’s just completely different. Some days you have no responsibilities and others you’re just slammed.” In fact, it’s those varied days that keeps Holcomb interested in the lifestyle. “Sometimes I look back and say, ‘Man, I’m tired,’ but thankfully I still love and enjoy it,” says Holcomb who’s ready to depart Nashville for a fresh set of dates around the country, including their trek to Solana Beach. “It’s gotten more comfortable. We used to be in a minivan driving stuff around the country, now we get to be on a tour bus. It’s a different experience, but more sustainable.” For tickets and more information on the April 26 event, visit www.bellyup.com. Doors open at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. Also visit www.drewholcomb.com.

Former atheist and heavy metal rocker to help lead spiritual exploration class Speaker also a computational biology teacher
BY JOE TASH Nuno Bandeira left the Catholic Church when he was 8 years old and didn’t come back to Christianity until his late 30s, after having a series of conversations with a friend in which he found that Christian beliefs “resonated with me.” In between, he spent about three decades as an atheist, became a scientist, and even spent a couple of his teen years as lead singer and guitarist with a heavy metal band. Now, Bandeira plans to use the knowledge and experience he has gained on his own spiritual path to help teach a class called “Christianity Explored” at Redeemer Presbyterian Church, 1831 South El Camino Real, Encinitas. The class runs for six Sundays, from April 23 to May 28, from 12:30 to 2:30 p.m. Anyone who is interested is welcome to attend the free class, and lunch will be provided. Those who want to
attend are asked to register at http://www.redeemersd. org/event/942648-2017-04-23christianity-explored/. “Essentially the goal here is to help people get a better understanding of what Christianity really stands for,” said Bandeira, 43, one of three people who will teach the course. A resident of Carmel Mountain and father of two, Bandeira is a native of Portugal. He teaches computational biology at UC San Diego. While some might see inherent conflicts between science and religion, Bandeira doesn’t see it that way. “I think there are a lot of connections on how the two things are approached,” he said. For example, he said that when he came back to the Christian faith after such a long separation, he sought to delve into what he called the “data,” the text of the Bible, rather than relying on hearsay. And he said the process of gaining understanding in religion is similar to that of science, because it often takes a group of people working together, holding discussions and asking questions, to make progress.
Nuno Bandeira Starting from the Bible, rather than accepting misconceptions, he said, is a “science-based approach.” And he noted that even though he is a scientist, he recognizes the shortcomings of science, such as an inability to provide a mathematical model of human consciousness. The two disciplines overlap, but they are separate and distinct, Bandeira said. The Bible is not meant to explain how things work. “It’s not a science book.” And science “is not meant to decide
COURTESY
how we should behave.” During the class, which Bandeira is helping to teach for the second time, participants are encouraged to come prepared with questions, and even non-believers are welcome. “We don’t expect this is in any way a conversion shop, it’s more to promote understanding,” Bandeira said. Participants “will have a forum to feel safe, ask questions and debate different points of view,” he said. “There’s no expectation there
will be any particular outcome.” One purpose of the course will be to dispel misunderstandings about Christianity. As a scientist, Bandeira said he accepts evolution as a concept that makes “perfect sense.” The Bible, he said, states that God created the Universe, but it doesn’t specify how, or how long it took, whether immediately or over millions of years. He added that he believes most Christians accept the theory of evolution but that a relative few loud, high-profile dissenters create the perception of more conflict than exists in reality. Joining Bandeira in teaching the class will be Pastor Hunter Benson from Redeemer Church and Dr. Satyan Devadoss. Along with his atheism, Bandeira has also left behind his musical career. He and several high-school friends performed in their home town for a couple of years, before they all left for college and the band broke up. The group was a typical hard-rock outfit, complete with loud guitars and long hair. But the band’s name may have foretold Bandeira’s future spiritual explorations – “Inner Sin.”

Free 'Mystery on the Shelf Conference' featuring top authors to be held April 15 Partners in Crime - the San Diego Chapter of Sisters in Crime, recently announced the free Mystery on the Shelf Conference at the Central Library on Saturday, April 15. Carmel Valley Kate resident and Carlisle local author Kathy Krevat helped to coordinate the event and will be speaking on the Keep it Cozy Panel. Keynote speakers include Kate Carlisle, New York Times bestselling author of the Bibliophile Mysteries featuring bookbinder Brooklyn Wainwright, whose rare book restoration skills invariably uncover old secrets, treachery and murder. Carlisle noted, “Three things I love: San Diego, Sisters in Crime, and libraries! I’m thrilled and honored to be speaking at the San Diego Sisters in Crime library conference and hope to meet lots of readers and writers while I’m back in my old hometown.” Carlisle also writes the
Fixer-Upper Mystery series featuring small-town girl Shannon Hammer, a building contractor specializing in Victorian home renovation. These books have been made into movies for the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel. “This year I had the honor of seeing characters who were born in my head come to life on the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries channel. It was quite a milestone in my career,” said Carlisle. “And here’s the best part: I loved the movie! It stars singer/actress Jewel, who is the perfect blend of feminine, smart, and tough enough to capture Shannon’s character. And Colin Ferguson, her male lead, is handsome, intelligent, and has great comic timing. I couldn’t be happier!” Cara Black, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of 14 books in the Private Investigator Aimee Leduc series which is set in Paris, will present the other keynote address. Black has received multiple nominations for the Anthony and Macavity Awards, a Washington Post Book World Book of the Year citation, and the Paris City Medal, which is
awarded in recognition of contributions to international culture. Black said, “I’m excited and so looking forward to speaking at the San Diego Sisters in Crime event! It’s a thrill and an honor to connect with my fellow sisters, writers and experience sunshine!” Black will present How I, and Maybe You, Got into a Life of Crime and discuss how growing up in a family of readers and with a grandfather who told endless stories, primed her pump to write. “But it was the story I heard in Paris that I became passionate about and using the framework of a detective story enabled me to tell it. I’ll explore, how I and you, can translate a vivid experience into crime fiction,” says Black. Many other accomplished authors will also speak at the event, which will be held Saturday, April 15, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. at the San Diego Public Library, Central Library, 330 Park Avenue, San Diego, 92101. This event is free and open to the public. For more information and a full list of speakers, visit www.sistersincrimesd.org.

Working Moms: How to Know if You’re Making the Right Career Choice One problem many of us face in life is picking a career. Either we have so many options, or, for whatever reason, our options are extremely limited. Do you go with what you really want to do, or do you go with the more “sensible” choice?Making the right career choice becomes even tougher when you become a parent. Your priorities change, meaning your career values may change also. How do you make the tough decision between fulfilling your career goals while maintaining that worklife balance that will allow you to focus on your family as well? We’ve put together a list of questions you can ask yourself to help guide you through this difficult decision.
Does Your Job Compromise Your Responsibilities at Home? Before you became a mom, your job was probably the main focus of your life. Now that you are a mom, your priorities have changed. Does your job fit into your lifestyle? Consider the following points:Do company policies allow for flexibility in your schedule?Does your job permit you to go to your kids’ school plays, football practices, or even sit down and eat dinner as a family?If you have a newborn, are you still expected to travel for work?What about dropping off and picking up kids at school? In other words, does your job give you work-life balance, or is it slowly draining the life out of you and making you miss out on your children’s lives? Sure, that’s a loaded question, but try to be honest with yourself when answering. Is Your Job Adding Value to Your Life? Your career should allow you to make progress as an individual. So many of us stay stuck in the same job for years, without challenging ourselves, mainly because it’s comfortable. Are you teaching your children to chase their dreams, or are you teaching them to settle? For many of us, it’s important to lead by example as parents. Are you doing

what you love and learning along the way, or are you simply doing what you must to pay the bills? Does your job meet or even exceed your financial needs? Remember that you’re not only a mom, but you’re an individual with interests and goals. Going after those goals will make you—and your family—happier in the long run. What’s Stopping You from Making a Career or Life Change? Sure, we all have bills to pay, but that shouldn’t be the go-to excuse for staying in a job that doesn’t bring any (or enough) fulfillment. Oftentimes, we get in our own way. Either we think we’ll fail and won’t take the risk, or we convince ourselves that our goals are unrealistic. Check in with yourself to see if fear and uncertainty are standing in the way. Perhaps you are truly fulfilled in your current position. What Are Your Options for Managing the Career You Love and Motherhood? Perhaps you chose your career because you wanted to help people. Find out if there are other ways you can serve your community that fit into your life as a mom and match your personality. For example, as a doctor, you may find that the working hours are simply
too demanding to maintain both career fulfillment and a fulfilling home life. Why not venture into another branch of healthcare— one that would allow you to work from home and spend time with your family while still allowing you to help other people? Do some research into the various alternative forms of your career and see what can still satisfy your professional goals. Remember—You Do Have a Say! The mere fact that you’re questioning whether your current job is right for you should serve as a red flag. Chances are that one or more aspects of your life are suffering because of your lack of fulfillment. Perhaps you rarely see your family because your working hours are demanding; maybe your career is at a standstill because of your family commitments; perhaps you barely have time for yourself because of both and so you’re unable to give your career or family the attention they deserve. You feel caught between a rock and a hard place. We get it!We at Moms Making Six Figures are here to tell you that you don’t have to stay stuck. You can take back control of your life and do what’s right for you and your family. Work-life balance is within reach!

Fresh Strawberry Risotto
Culinary facts I learned on spring break
W
hile home on the range during spring break, I attended to matters I had long put off, and along the way, I learned some handy tips I’d like to share. A dental procrastinator, I finally went to get my teeth cleaned, at which point the hygienist gently reminded me that certain foods and drinks are notorious stainers. The obvious ones include berries, cherries, dark chocolate, coffee, assorted teas, colas, red wines, and alas — white wines. Ahh, the crisp, full-bodied Chardonnay — golden hued and exuding lively aromas of tropical fruits — seems an innocent and unlikely culprit to stain teeth. But the white wine has a sneaky habit — attacking porous enamel head-on, opening the door for dark-colored foods and drinks to do their dirty work on the surface of teeth. The Best Zest: While a squirt of juice from an orange, lemon or lime enlivens everything from green salads, risottos and grilled chicken or fish to scones, quick breads and biscotti — the zest from the rind of assorted citrus fruits is even more expressive when used in those dishes. The peel is packed with aromatic oils that burst with fresh flavors and bright colors.
When delicately grated or shredded it becomes “zest.” Some basic zesting rules and tips include: • Before zesting, wash and dry the skin well; where possible, buy organic citrus. Sevilles, Valencias and tangerines make the best orange zest, while Meyers are divine for lemon zest; • A microplane (for long, thin curled strips), a citrus grater (for fine pieces), a paring knife and vegetable peeler (for larger strips of peel like “twists” or curlicues to garnish cocktails and other dishes) are popular zesting tools of the trade; • Shred, grate or peel gently and with moderate pressure to avoid snagging the bitter and spongy white pith beneath; • After juicing, freeze the rinds to use for zesting at your convenience. Stalk in Trade: Rhubarb, a lip-puckering spring treat, is botanically a vegetable belonging to the buckwheat family. Sold in bunches like asparagus, choose the short, darker pink stalks over the long green ones that tend to be bitter and stringy. This high-fiber, low-cal Vitamin C powerhouse balances well with sweet strawberries, raspberries and fresh ginger. So, whip up a crispy cobbler, tangy

chutney or refreshing compote as a topping for gelatos, sponge cakes, parfaits or trifles. Rhubarb Alert: discard the leaves, which contain oxalates, an irritant to the mouth and throat. Strawberry Fields Forever: The most popular berry in the world, the mighty strawberry comes in 600 varieties, both wild and cultivated. Packed with Vitamins C, K and assorted Bs, trace minerals, fiber and antioxidants, strawberries have been touted
for everything from removing tartar from teeth for a mega-watt smile to warding off a throbbing ice-pick-on-the-skull migraine. Pick a fresh pint of firm, small to medium-sized berries with a rich crimson hue that tend to be sweeter and juicier than large, paler ones (and make sure the green stem cap is still attached). Eat them solo, jazz up a tossed salad or sweet chilled soup, soak in Grand Marnier and orange zest for a versatile topping, dip in bittersweet chocolate.

NORTH COAST - APRIL 13, 2017 - PAGE B15
One of North County’s Top Producing Brokers has joined national company Help-U-Sell Real Estate Joseph Sampson has built his career in real estate, from construction to property management and real estate sales. Seeing a need for something different in the local market, Joseph has joined set-fee commission pioneer Help-U-Sell Real Estate by opening a franchise office in North County The Sampsons’ office, called Help-U-Sell Marquis Properties, opened officially Feb. 27. This new office will serve Coastal North County, including Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Solana Beach, Encinitas, Cardiff and Leucadia. Joseph started in real estate about 25 years ago, initially as an investor in real estate and eventually turned full-time to residential real estate sales. Diane Sampson started in real estate 11 years ago. Together, they started SCR Real Estate, a full-service firm where they helped buyers, sellers, investors, and tenants for many years. In 2010 they put together a great new brokerage and started recruiting agents. Within a year they had recruited 50 agents, and that number grew for the next 3 years. What they started to realize was that they had built a company based on the agent model and not the consumer centric model. After much consideration, in 2014 they decided to go back to the consumer centric non-agent real estate
model. Earlier this year, Joseph decided a change was in order. “We have been watching the local market and see a need for something different in real estate sales,” Joseph says. “It’s an ocean of sameness. Now, with the Help-U-Sell Real Estate office, sellers have a better option. They have an option to save money from a nationally-recognized, full-service brokerage firm with experience, reliability, and knowledge…all at a set fee with no surprises.” Help-U-Sell Real Estate offices do not charge a traditional percentage-based commission, but rather a low set fee for services. Nationwide in 2015, the company’s franchise offices saved their sellers nearly $20 million* in commissions. *Savings are compared to a 5 percent commission. “Over the years, we have figured out how to streamline operations and our cost-effectiveness,” Joseph says. “Our low overhead costs translate into savings we can pass along to home sellers.” This philosophy dovetails perfectly with Help-U-Sell Real Estate’s broker-centric business model, which hires agents only as the number of leads coming in requires it. In contrast, most national brokerages focus on recruiting agents to grow their businesses.

What consumers now get is 25 years of real estate experience with one of the top producing real estate agents/brokers in the area. “Being in the top 1% nationally for so many years gives us a tremendous advantage in the market place,” Joseph says. Joseph looks forward to growing the Help-U-Sell Marquis Property offices by “providing a fair price for services, just like any other professional service you pay for. Just because our fees are lower doesn’t change the scope of full services we provide,” Joseph says.
“Joseph is a savvy real estate professional with vast real estate experience,” says Ron McCoy, Help-U-Sell Real Estate’s vice president of business development. “I’m confident they’re going to excel with Help-U-Sell Real Estate. They recognize not only the value in the brand, but also the benefits of our unique business model.” Help-U-Sell Marquis Properties office is located at 2004 Jimmy Durante Blvd, Del Mar. Its website is marquisproperties.helpusell.com, and the office phone number is 858-703-3391
