Solana Beach approves seawall study
BY KRISTINA HOUCK Solana Beach is sending the California Coastal Commission a study that determined how much property owners should compensate the public for beach that is lost when seawalls are constructed to protect private property atop eroding bluffs. In a 3-1 vote, the City Council on We’re trying April 13 adopted — maybe not the draft public achieving a recreation impact perfect balance fee study and — but at least related local coastal it’s a starting program land use point. plan amendment. “I really Mayor David Zito appreciate the engagement from everybody, the comments that people have made,” said Mayor David Zito, although admitting that the fee schedule is “not perfect.” “We’re trying — maybe not achieving a perfect balance — but at least it’s a starting point,” he said. For decades, seawalls have caused conflict because they prevent bluffs from eroding and replenishing beaches. The California Coastal Act of 1976 aims to preserve beach access and protect the shoreline. Coastal property owners petition the city to build seawalls to protect their homes. Conversely, the Coastal Commission and environmental groups such as the Surfrider Foundation argue that homeowners must be held accountable for how the structures SEE SEAWALL, A21

Residents oppose proposed Mercado Drive stoplight BY KAREN BILLING The Torrey Pines Community Planning Group has been given no clear signal about a proposed stoplight and crosswalk on Del Mar Heights Road and Mercado Drive. At the board’s April 14 meeting, residents’ opinions were mixed although the majority of those present was opposed to the new light that they said would cause more congestion and problems and would not improve
pedestrian safety. The Torrey Pines board has voted against a proposed light at this location twice before, once in 2004 and another time in 2007. This latest proposal was driven by a group of parents along Calais Drive, Mango Drive, Portofino Drive and other side streets to provide a safe walking route for their children to Del Mar Heights School.

Del Mar council considers sales tax increase for November ballot BY KRISTINA HOUCK In an effort to help cover the costs of undergrounding utilities throughout the city, Del Mar voters could be asked to approve a one-cent sales tax increase in November. “It’s no secret that undergrounding is something that would be extremely desirable and very profitable if you’re
thinking of it as an enhancement to your property,” said Bud Emerson, a member of Del Mar’s Finance Committee, during a presentation to the City Council on April 18. “We think that adding 1 percent to the sales tax would be a smart way to go. Of course, you’d have to get the public to agree to that.”
A one-cent sales tax increase would generate an estimated $1.6 million a year for the project, which is expected to cost between $25 million and $30 million, according to committee members. The council did not vote on the proposal, but committee members said they have to begin discussing the matter now if they

Del Mar Council celebrates 20th anniversary of locally-based nonprofit BY KRISTINA HOUCK Del Mar might be the smallest city in San Diego County, but it is home to an organization that’s making one of the biggest impacts on the world. Nature and Culture International has helped protect millions of acres of endangered ecosystems in Latin America since 1996. Acknowledging the locally-based nonprofit’s international work, the Del Mar City Council on April 18 celebrated NCI’s 20th anniversary by honoring the organization and its founder, Del Mar native Ivan Gayler. “The vision, commitment and environmental dedication of Ivan Gayler and his ‘can do’ spirit have grown NCI and its outstanding environmental programs to great international success,” Councilman Dwight Worden said on behalf of the council. Worden is a longtime supporter of the organization. “NCI has achieved protection of key ecosystems

This includes directly supporting the creation of 7.3 million acres of protected areas
and 6.5 million acres of United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) biosphere reserves. In a previous interview, Gayler attributed much of the organization’s success to its strategy of working from the ground up, empowering indigenous populations to preserve and manage local ecosystems in an environmentally sustainable manner. Though headquartered in
Del Mar, the organization only has eight staff members in the United States, but more than 150 staff live and work in 17 offices in South America and Mexico. With even bigger goals for the future, NCI aims to save 20 million acres by the year 2020. “I’m here with a message of hope,” Gayler said. “We can save this planet. We just have to get active. The forests sustain us. The variety of life gives us the clothes we wear, the food we eat, the air that we breathe.” On behalf of the city, the council dedicated April 22, Earth Day, to Gayler and NCI. “This is particularly an honor to me because this is home,” said Gayler, who also formed the Del Mar Partnership with partner David Winkler and built the Del Mar Plaza. Additionally, he restored the historic Rock Haus. “To get the recognition of your home is a wonderful thing.” For more about NCI, visit natureandculture.org.
Del Mar Mesa Planning Board briefs; April 14 meeting BY SUZANNE EVANS Del Mar Mesa board elections: Members who were re-elected for two-year terms to their seats were: Quadrant 3, board chair Gary Levitt; Quadrant 1, board member Diane Korsh; Quadrant 2, board member Lisa Ross; and Quadrant 4, board member Amy Wood. Board member and trails representative Preston Drake announced he would end his term on the board as trails representative and treasurer. Chair Levitt expressed “appreciation for everything you have done.” Tracey Williams, Northwestern Police Department Community Relations Officer, reported several burglaries in the Del Mar Heights area homes west of Freeway 5. Unlocked doors, open garages, and unset alarms were found to be an open invitation, he cautioned. Williams said he will be leaving the area due to a shift change and will introduce his replacement at the board’s May 12 meeting. The Preserve at Torrey Highlands (The “Notch”): The board will send a letter to the city ensuring Cisterra Development, the applicant planning to build “The Notch” at the east end of the Del Mar Mesa Preserve, explicitly details environmental impacts to the community and habitat.

Sheriff’s Department: Thieves are targeting unlocked vehicles BY JARED WHITLOCK Thieves are increasingly preying on unlocked cars with valuables inside, according to the Encinitas Sheriff’s Substation. Sgt. Richard Eaton said too often people leave purses, cell phones, computers and other valuables in their car without locking their doors. Eaton said the solution is simple: close windows, lock doors and don’t leave valuables in sight. If you must keep valuables in your car while out and about, hide them before reaching your destination, according to the Sheriff’s Department. Otherwise,
someone may be watching while you stash the items. Also, people are urged to hide any signs of valuables, such as cell phone chargers, docking stations and clothing, because a car thief might think there’s something valuable in the pockets. Eaton said the problem has gotten worse in recent months throughout areas served by the Encinitas Sheriff’s Substation — Del Mar, Solana Beach, Encinitas and Rancho Santa Fe. Of auto burglaries since January, 86 percent of the cases have involved cars that weren’t locked, according to
Eaton. Eaton attributed the increase to Proposition 47 — a 2014 California ballot measure that reduced certain property crimes and drug offenses from felonies to misdemeanors. “It’s always been an issue, but not a problem like it is now,” Eaton said. People are urged to park in well-lit and well-traveled areas, deterring thieves who don’t want attention. Additionally, residents are asked to record valuables’ serial numbers, which can help track down items in the event they’re stolen and taken to a pawnshop.
Del Mar council honors longtime Meals-on-Wheels volunteer BY KRISTINA HOUCK The Del Mar City Council recently recognized Rachel Reed’s longtime commitment to Meals-on-Wheels Greater San Diego, Inc. “Rachel Reed has provided 30 years of dedicated volunteer service delivering meals and creating customized birthday cards for seniors in her community,” Mayor Sherryl Parks said when presenting the Del Mar resident with a proclamation during the April 18 City Council meeting. For more than 55 years, Meals-on-Wheels has contributed to the overall well-being of seniors by providing regular nutrition and daily contact with a caring volunteer. Staff
and volunteers often develop friendships with the seniors, as well as provide regular nutrition and daily safety checks. “Seniors are one of the largest growing segments of our population and good and accessible nutrition is a major factor in keeping seniors healthy and independent,” Parks said. “l, Sherryl Parks, mayor of the city of Del Mar, on behalf of the entire City Council, hereby recognize Rachel Reed and Meals-on-Wheels for their many contributions and positive impact on the quality of life of the citizens of the Del Mar.” For more about Meals-on-Wheels, visit www.meals-on-wheels.org.
Pedestrian in Del Mar hit by train BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A person walking on the tracks in Del Mar was hit by a train April 15 and taken to a hospital, but the victim’s condition was unknown at the time and sheriff’s detectives were trying to determine whether this was an attempted suicide. It occurred at 7:50 p.m. Friday, April 15, at mile post marker 244.4 on the bluffs of Del Mar, according to San Diego County Sheriff’s Sgt. J. King. A northbound Coaster train was traveling
about 50 mph when the engineer saw a person walking on the tracks, King said. The engineer hit the brakes but was unable to stop the train before it hit the person. The victim was taken to a hospital, King said. The person’s condition, name and gender were not immediately released. The sheriff’s Transportation Enforcement Unit was investigating the collision. Anyone with information was asked to call the sheriff’s department at (858) 565-5200.
Five hurt in fiery Del Mar crash BY LYNDSAY WINKLEY, SAN DIEGO U-T Five people were hurt, four seriously, in a fiery crash April 16 in Del Mar, a sheriff's sergeant said. Witnesses told deputies a Kia Soul was headed north on Camino Del Mar about 7:55 p.m. when the driver of a southbound Ford Explorer tried turning left onto Del Mar Heights Road against a red light, sheriff's Sgt.
Joe Tomaiko said. The two vehicles collided. Someone called 911 and arriving deputies found four people lying on the sidewalk near the Kia, which was engulfed in flames. All four were taken to hospitals with serious but not life-threatening injuries, Tomaiko said. The driver of the Explorer was taken to a hospital with a broken nose.

Del Mar resident hosts Padres vs. Cancer event April 22 BY KAREN BILLING Del Mar resident Chelsea Street was diagnosed with leukemia at 18 months old and was in treatment at Rady Children’s Hospital until she was three. Now an adult, she is on a mission to raise $100,000 for the Leukemia Lymphoma Society. Through her campaign, “$100K by May,” she is fighting for a world where parents receive support after they hear “leukemia” and sharing her story so the thousands of children battling cancer can have hope. At 23, Street is the youngest nominee ever for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society San Diego chapter’s Woman of the Year. The Man and Woman of the Year campaign is a 10-week fundraising competition between community leaders nominated by their peers to raise funds in support of blood cancer research and patient services. The next event in Street’s campaign is “Padres vs. Cancer” on Friday, April 22. The event is a 7:30 p.m. Padres game against the St. Louis Cardinals — every $25 ticket includes entry into a giveaway prizes with $10 going back to the Leukemia Lymphoma Society (LLS). For an additional $20 donation straight to LLS, there will be a pre-party at the Omni Hotel with more giveaways, a small silent auction, appetizers and a percentage of the bar sales will go toward LLS. “It has been such a great experience,” Street said of her campaign so far. “It has been a great way to connect my story with an amazing number of people that I’ve met who have been impacted by cancer, some who have lost loved ones…It’s good for me and those people to see that there is movement, that there is a fight.”

Cancer-free since she was 3 years old, Street said she does not remember anything about her treatment, not the 14 surgeries, the catheters that were pulled in and out of her heart, “more than any little girl should have to go through,” her father, John, said in a video about her treatment. She is a survivor, but in many ways she cannot relate to other survivors’ stories, save for the scars that remain on her body and remembering being teased as a child because the cancer treatment caused many of her teeth to fall out. She said she wouldn’t change a thing though — it’s probably a blessing that she cannot remember the painful treatments. “When I was growing up, my family was

Chelsea Street, a Del Mar resident, is a nominee for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Woman of the Year. very forward thinking and never talked about the past, we were always looking ahead,” Street said. When she got to college at UC San Diego, she started to engage more as a cancer survivor, feeling that her past was important and feeling grateful for all of the people who fought with her. As a sophomore at UC San Diego she became involved in Relay for Life and raised funds for the American Cancer Society. When she studied “abroad” at Dartmouth College, she got involved with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and led campus fundraising campaigns. When she was asked to do the Man and
Woman of the Year Campaign, she couldn’t turn it down. “It’s such a great way to rally people around an awesome cause,” Street said. Her efforts with Leukemia Lymphoma Society have brought up a lot of emotions for her parents. They were 28 years old when Chelsea was diagnosed and she cannot imagine what they went through taking care of a baby in treatment. Her father recently posted a video on her fundraising Facebook page that he made in 1995 about dealing with Chelsea’s illness. Her mother, too, six weeks into her campaign, has opened up about what she went through. “It’s been good for the whole family to look back and get some healing from that and make it a positive experience,” Street said. In her fundraising efforts, Street hopes to reach as many different demographics as she can. In addition to the Padres games, other events include a Beer Pong Tournament at Tin Roof in downtown San Diego on April 23 and on Saturday, May 7, she is hosting Encinitas Yoga Day at 8 a.m. at Vuori Clothing. The event will feature a yoga class, chair massages, kids’ activities, giveaways and an after-party brunch. From 9-10 a.m. participants can enjoy pre-grand opening shopping at the new Vuori location, 625 S, North Coast Hwy. 101. The 2016 Man and Woman of the Year will be announced at the LLS Campaign Finale Gala, which will be held on Saturday, May 14 at the Hard Rock Hotel.

Carmel Valley scientist honored as bioscience pioneer Ethan Bier named Paul G. Allen Frontiers Group Allen Distinguished Investigator BY KAREN BILLING Philanthropist and entrepreneur Paul G. Allen recently pledged $100 million to create the Paul G. Allen Frontiers Group, to “explore the landscape of bioscience and fund ideas at the frontier of knowledge to advance science and make the world better.” Carmel Valley resident Ethan Bier was named as one of the Frontiers Group’s Allen Distinguished Investigators and awarded $1.5 million for his project, “Biological Innovation and Active Genetics.” The Allen Distinguished Investigator program supports early-stage research and “passionate thought leaders, explorers and innovators” like Bier with the potential to reinvent entire fields. “To make the kind of transformational advances we seek and thus shape a better future, we must invest in scientists willing to pursue what some might consider out-of-the-box approaches at the very edges of knowledge,” Allen said at the March 22 launch. “This, of course, entails a risk of setbacks and failures. But without risk, there is rarely significant reward, and unless we try truly novel approaches, we may never find the answers we seek.” Bier traveled to to Washington, D.C. for the announcement of the Frontiers Group Allen
Distinguished Investigators, held at the National Academy of Sciences. “It’s very exciting, it’s a dream come true for a scientist,” Bier said, noting how much he appreciated Allen’s vision. “This is an alternative source for funding projects that are in an earlier or more speculative place but if successful will have a significant impact. It’s a good alternative, a philanthropic avenue willing to take more chances and by doing do, spur innovation.” Bier has been at UC San Diego for 26 years. Bier received his Ph.D. from Harvard University and is a professor of cell and developmental biology, running a lab that focuses on research in developmental patterning and using Drosophila (fruit flies) to understand human disease processes. In the beginning of 2015, Bier and then-graduate student Valentino Gantz (now a post doctorate researcher) published a paper in “Science” on their experiment in which they developed a method called mutagenic chain reaction (MCR). The experiment demonstrated genetic forms of inheritance that is completely different from the standard way that offspring inherit things from parents. If blonde and dark flies mated, typically all of the offspring would be dark and their offspring would be one-quarter blonde. “My student created a genetic tool that created a blonde mutation in fruit flies,” Bier said. Bier and Gantz began considering all of the

Scientist Ethan Bier, third from left, with Paul G. Allen Frontiers Group Executive Director Tom Skalak, Allen Institute Chief Executive Officer Allan Jones and Paul G. Allen. implications of their findings and became interested in trying new types of inheritance. Working with Dr. Anthony James of UC Irvine, paring his genetic tool with their pioneering gene editing technique, they found that mosquitoes carrying a gene was spread to 99.5 percent of its offspring — it spread very rapidly throughout the population. “Our original study attracted a lot of attention and interest greatly amplified at the end of last year in our collaboration with UC Irvine and Dr. James,” Bier said. With that level of efficiency, a single mosquito equipped with the gene could be used to render the insects unable to carry the malaria or Zika parasites, Bier said, which could be extremely valuable. Bier said it was a big step ahead for their research as mosquitoes are very different from fruit flies — the genetic construct of mosquitoes
is very large and it represented a very big piece of DNA to be so efficiently copied from one generation to the next. “In principle we could take genetic information from one organism and add it to another or replace it with another species in a systematic way,” Bier said. There could be a variety of applications, such as rendering crops resistant to drought by taking the character of drought-resistant plants and applying it to crops, such as wheat, or to convert a strain of a mouse’s immune system to be more like that of a human to be able to do things such as drug screenings for diseases like cancer, asthma and neuro-degenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer’s. Bier said he is grateful for the Allen Institute to help him get started and get his pioneering research to the point where it can be applied to real-world situations.

Del Mar Pines, Torrey Pines students help Zambia school BY KAREN BILLING Del Mar Pines and Torrey Pines High students teamed up to pool their pennies for Thankful Thinking, an organization that will help buy a tank for fresh water at a school in Zambia. In just 10 days, the students collected $2,100 in spare change. “These children don’t have any access to clean water,” said Brett Melton of Thankful Thinking at an April 15 assembly at the private school next to Torrey Pines. “The children are very appreciative for everything you do and very grateful for every penny that you’ve donated.” Del Mar Pines sixth grade teacher Abbey Hill said she was proud of the students of both schools for giving back to the greater global community. The funds raised will go to help a school of 1,000 students in Kalingalinga. Talia and Brett Melton founded Thankful Thinking to spread awareness and raise funds for underprivileged school children in Zambia where Talia grew up. After her father died when she was 4 and her mother when she was just 5, she was taken into the home of a family friend but dealt with a lot of mistreatment and hardship. In 2012, her brother, living in San Diego, was searching

Solana Beach mom gets second chance at college BY KRISTINA HOUCK ith one child on the way to college and another not far behind, Carey Cimino began to consider what she wanted to do in the next stage of her life. Although always active in the community, the Solana Beach mom wanted more. “It’s a huge theme with stay-at-home moms,” said Cimino, who has an 18-year-old daughter and 16-year-old son. “You kind of lose your identity because you’ve given so much to raising your kids. I went back to thinking about what I originally wanted to be.” Originally from the Bay Area, Cimino earned her bachelor’s degree in international relations from UC Davis in 1990. But Cimino had also always wanted to pursue her master’s degree. In fact, while working in banking, she started her teaching credential 25 years ago, but left the program after she got married and moved to Southern California. After giving birth to her daughter, Tess, she decided to be a stay-at-home mom. A son, James, soon followed. Although the kids kept her busy, Cimino also dedicated much of her time to the community. As a Rancho Santa Fe resident for 17 years, Cimino served as president of the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center board and co-chair of the Rancho Santa Fe School Education Foundation. She also served on the boards of the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA and Torrey Pines High School Foundation and as a member of the Rancho Santa Fe Unit of Rady Children's Hospital Auxiliary.

“I enjoy being part of something and helping make a difference,” said Cimino, who relocated to Solana Beach about three years ago. As her children grew older, Cimino started working in real estate. But she still wanted something more. When it came time for her daughter to apply to college, she helped her and her friends research and apply to schools. She saw how difficult it was for her daughter to get into college, despite being a bright student and having supportive parents and access to many resources. At the same time, Cimino also volunteered in the College & Career Center at Torrey Pines High School. The experience reminded her that she always wanted to work with students. “It all came full circle,” Cimino said. “I really like helping the kids find themselves, figure out their career, what they want to be and how they want to get there.” Still, the thought of going back to college had not even crossed Cimino’s mind until her father suggested completing her teaching credential. With encouragement from her family, Cimino decided to apply for graduate school. After reading about San Diego State University’s school counseling program, with an emphasis in social justice, Cimino said she felt like she had found her calling. Although the application deadline was just a few weeks away, she decided to try. “It was such a last-minute decision,” she said.

Cimino took both the Graduate Record Examination (GRE) and California Basic Educational Skills Test (CBEST) tests, studying one week for each test. She compiled her transcripts and received letters of recommendations. And then she got the email: She was one of 18 students chosen out of an applicant pool of 100 to be a member of the SDSU School Counseling Cohort. “At 46 years old, it never occurred to me to go back,” she recalled. “All of a sudden, to
have this dream, and have it all come back, it was so great. I was so excited.” The two-year master’s program finishes in May 2017, the same week that Cimino’s son will graduate from Cathedral Catholic High School. “Whatever your obstacle is, there’s a way to bust it down,” Cimino said. “I’m totally proof of that. “If I can do it, anyone can do it.” In addition to full-time classwork and on-site experience at local schools, students choose one of three additional volunteer learning experiences. Some are Court Appointed Special Advocates for Voices for Children, a San Diego-based nonprofit that recruits, trains and supervises volunteer CASAs. Others members work with kids on a Native American reservation. Cimino chose to work on a committee that is hosting the first-ever conference supporting access to higher education for immigrant and undocumented students. Presented by The Center for Excellence in School Counseling and Leadership, or CESCAL, the conference, “Supporting Access to Higher Education for Immigrant and Undocumented Students,” aims to equip school counselors and college partners with the knowledge and skills to support student access and equity to postsecondary opportunities and funding options. “Enabling and educating kids can only help all of us,” Cimino said. “I would hope that people can learn from this conference and come out with the tools to help these kids

The School of American Ballet, the official training academy of the New York City Ballet, was established in 1934 by legendary choreographer George Balanchine and philanthropist Lincoln Kirstein as the first and most essential step in their quest to create an American classical ballet company. SAB, located at New York City’s Lincoln Center, is today the premier ballet academy in the United States, training more students who go on to become professional dancers than any other school.

Torrey Pines repeats as North County Academic League Champions Torrey Pines High School successfully defended its North County Academic League championship recently at the league finals tournament and will compete for the San Diego County academic league championship Thursday, April 21, against the county’s other league champions. The Falcons maintained ownership of the league’s Boldt-Roswell championship trophy with a convincing 120-65 victory over Rancho Bernardo at the finals held at Torrey Pines High School. The Falcons pulled out to a dominant lead from the start, thanks to lightning-fast buzzing in on questions covering the high school curriculum and current events. The Broncos had a hot streak toward the end of the match, but it was too little, too late. Torrey Pines, champions of the NCAL Inland Division, made its way to the finals by way of a hard-fought quarterfinal win over Mission Vista (North Division), 92-81, and a semifinal victory over Pacific Ridge (Coast Division), 107-28. The NCAL championship tournament
included the top two finishers in each of the league’s four geographic divisions. Rancho Bernardo, the runner-up in the Inland Division for the regular season, made it to the championship match by defeating El Camino (North) in the quarterfinals, 159-31, and Classical Academy (Valley), 123-12, in the semifinal match. The other quarterfinal matches saw Pacific Ridge defeat Orange Glen (Valley), 97-47, and Classical Academy down Carlsbad (Coast), 74-64. Torrey Pines’ quest to bring the San Diego County championship trophy back to North County can be viewed live on ITV (channel 16) next Thursday, as the semifinal match begins at 5 p.m. and the championship match at 7 p.m. The North County Academic League’s membership consists of 28 public and private schools across North County. Further information can be accessed at the league’s website: http://groswell1.wix.com/ncal.

North San Diego kids meet the challenge of Read-Aloud Month Local children at Easter Seals Child Development Centers (CDC) in Solana Beach, Leucadia, and Escondido, which offer Head Start and other services for families and children, participated in the National Read-Aloud Month in March. Students from the three locations were read a total of 660 books during the month-long program which encourages reading to increase children’s vocabularies, provide them with the knowledge and skills necessary for later reading, and start them on a lifetime of learning.
Recent research shows that less than half of children under age 4 in the United States are read to daily. Read-Aloud Month is supported by the National Head Start Association and is designed to increase awareness and support for all for families to engage in reading aloud. “We schedule read aloud time every day at our Child Development Centers — It is critical to a child’s progress and too often young children don’t get that time at home,” said Betty Reckard, vice president, Child Development Services at Easter Seals Southern California.

On Friday, April 8, Dons alumni returned to Cathedral Catholic High School (CCHS) campus to share their career stories and achievements with nearly 300 juniors and seniors for the school’s annual Career Day. The event opened with keynote speaker, Katie Kelley, the author of “Career Courage,” speaker, connector and mentor for professionals who are seeking greater clarity, influence and fortune throughout their lives. Following her presentation, a distinguished panel of San Diego professionals and Dons alumni took the stage, including Define Financial CEO Taylor Schulte, CFP. A Five Star Wealth Manager and recognized industry expert, Schulte graduated CCHS in 2003 and started his company in 2014.
All panelists shared their professional journeys with the graduating class and offered sound advice for a successful future. Schulte spoke to the fear some may have in finding a career, and shared ways to overcome pitfalls students may encounter along the way. He also offered advice on how to get closer to finding a dream job, such as creating a solid educational and professional foundation, so that there are plenty of opportunities, should one decide to change their career path in the future. Schulte also discussed the importance of work experience. He recommended that, in addition to college, students get involved with organizations, volunteer and get an internship, when possible.

Solana Center to provide environmental education at Del Mar Fairgrounds The Del Mar Fairgrounds Board of Directors recently approved a partnership with Solana Center for Environmental Innovation to provide environmental education programming at the historic facility. The partnership will expose new audiences to the importance of ecological sustainability and creating healthy communities. Consistent environmental programming at the Del Mar Fairgrounds demonstrates the 22nd District Agricultural Association’s (22nd DAA) commitment to the environment, agriculture, and education. “By teaching people about the natural wonders of soil, plants, water, and animals, we encourage good stewardship of our resources and land,” said Solana Center’s Executive Director, Jessica Toth. “We are excited to offer our environmental programming and activities, which directly support the 22nd DAA’s agricultural mission.” The 22nd DAA is a State of California agency that owns and operates the Del Mar Fairgrounds, which hosts more than 350 events annually, including the San Diego County Fair and the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club’s live horse racing. Their mission is to manage and promote a world-class, multi-use, public assembly facility with an emphasis on agriculture, education, entertainment and recreation in a fiscally sound and environmentally conscientious manner for the benefit of all. After considering the benefits of
collaboration with Solana Center, the Fairgrounds Board of Directors voted unanimously to proceed with the partnership. The board’s enthusiasm was underscored by Fairgrounds CEO and General Manager Tim Fennell, who exclaimed, “When do we start?” “We are proud to partner with this award-winning organization. Moving forward we will continue our legacy of being environmentally proactive and good stewards of this property and the land and water that surround the Del Mar Fairgrounds,” added Fennell. Solana Center has had a significant presence at the San Diego County Fair’s Infield Farm, where visitors can see thriving vegetable gardens, watch worms turn food scraps into rich soil amendment, see a colony of bees in action, and much more. Solana Center’s booth last year was visited by thousands of people and hosted composting workshops, a rain gutter garden powered by solar energy, a planting bar for children, and other interactive gardening activities. The interactive booth was sponsored by the City of San Diego’s Environmental Services Department and EcoScraps (http://ecoscraps.com/). As part of the partnership, Solana Center will unveil its Eco Container at the San Diego County Fair this summer. The Eco Container is a re-purposed shipping container that has been transformed into a center for environmental innovation, SEE EDUCATION, A22

She struck out eight batters and allowed two runs (one earned) on seven hits and six walks. Augur led the Falcons with three hits including a triple. The Falcons improved to 2-0 in league and 15-3 overall for the season. — Reported by Gideon Rubin

Del Mar Hills PJ Party raises funds for DMSEF Del Mar Hills Academy held its first SurfRider Pajama Party April 15 to raise money for the Del Mar Schools Education Foundation (DMSEF). Students who attended were treated to an evening with their specialized teachers in Science, Music, Art, Technology and PE, as well as many classroom teachers. The students participated in activities related to their STEAM+ education and some that were just plain fun: Educational exploration ranged from making a lung out of balloons and bottles, in order to understand lung function, to creating a computer game
that students were able to text to their parents. The fun continued when students dressed up in costumes and even â&#x20AC;&#x153;decoratedâ&#x20AC;? a staff office with toilet paper. The evening concluded with a dance party with Principal Lerner. Crust Pizza and Urban Plates provided delicious dinners for the teachers and students. The DMSEF helps the district fund the salaries of specialized teachers throughout the district. The DMSEF is still working to reach its financial goals.

Voting by mail?
C
alifornia election officials are anticipating a surge in voter turnout for the June 7 presidential primary. Registrations are up across the state, with a significant rise in online voter registration. Interest is high because, unlike most years, the 2016 California vote will have an impact on who wins the Democratic and Republican presidential nominations. Voting by mail begins May 9. May 23 is the last day to register for the June 7 election. Herewith, a few last notes on key local races. We finally have a mayoral race in San Diego. For a long time it
looked like Republican Mayor Kevin Faulconer would be re-elected without meaningful opposition. Late in the process, two challengers stepped forward. Democrat Ed Harris, head of the lifeguard’s union, served as an interim city councilman. Former Assemblywoman Lori Saldana left the Democratic Party over its handling of the Bob Filner scandal and is running as an independent. Saldana may be better known citywide than Harris. With two challengers, Faulconer may be unable to win more than half of the June vote. And the survivor may have a chance in November when Democrats vote in
larger numbers. San Diego Democrats (39 percent) outnumber Republicans (26 percent) by 80,000 voters. Heck, independents (30 percent) outnumber Republicans by 20,000. Meanwhile, pundits are saying that Faulconer should be considered a leading Republican candidate for governor of California. Ask Neel Kashkari, Jerry Brown’s opponent in 2014, how much fun that can be. Democrats now hold all the elected state offices and Democrat Kamala Harris is cruising toward election to the U.S. Senate seat of Barbara Boxer. Neither GOP candidate to replace Congressman Scott Peters has won
the endorsement of the Republican Party of San Diego County. Both Denise Gitsham and Jaquie Atkinson fell short of the two-thirds majority needed to get the party’s support. The county GOP endorsed Escondido Mayor Sam Abed over Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar in the race to replace Supervisor Dave Roberts. PS: I was the moderator last week of a spirited debate between supporters of Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton at the monthly meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Democratic Club (where I serve on the board). The four debaters were well-prepared and conscientious. And they were civil. Meanwhile, the real Bernie and Hillary were bashing each other in the Brooklyn debate – mercifully, the last Democratic debate of a very long political season. :-) Gordon Clanton teaches Sociology at San Diego State University.

Research links lack of sleep and cancer biology
S
leep is the best meditation, says the Dalai Lama. It may also be the best medication. Sufficient sleep – seven or eight hours each night – is important to healing, proper immune function and mental health. Inadequate sleep has been associated with a host of ailments, from obesity and diabetes to stroke and heart disease. Add cancer to the list, particularly breast, prostate and colorectal. A 2014 study, for example, found that women who suffer chronic lack of sleep are more likely to develop more aggressive forms of breast cancer or experience recurrence. Another 2014 study reported that men with insomnia have a twofold greater risk of developing prostate cancer. And a 2010 study, which examined the sleep quality of persons prior to undergoing a colonoscopy, found a 50 percent increased risk of colorectal cancer in those who slept less than six hours per night. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is a common disorder involving disrupted nocturnal breathing that results in fragmented sleep. It is estimated to affect at least 13 percent of men and 6 percent of women, with prevalence growing as the population becomes more obese (a major cause of OSA). Not surprisingly, OSA is already associated with heightened cardiovascular problems, such as arrhythmias, systemic hypertension and myocardial ischemia. In addition, there are neurocognitive consequences, such as excessive daytime sleepiness, poor job performance and greater risk of accidents. But emerging evidence suggests OSA increases cancer risk as well. For example, epidemiological studies have found that persons with untreated, severe OSA have a greater risk of developing cancer than those without OSA. These studies report that cancer patients with solid tumors, such as colorectal, lung, pancreatic or liver, and severe untreated OSA have a five-fold greater risk of dying earlier from cancer than those without OSA, due to the repetitive swings in the patient’s blood oxygen levels as the result of the untreated apnea. In a mouse study, animals with melanoma that undergo conditions that simulate OSA experienced larger or more aggressive tumors. Recently, with support from Peter Farrell, Ph.D., founder and chairman of ResMed, a
maker of diagnostic and therapeutic devices related to sleep disorders, Atul Malhotra, M.D., chief of the division of pulmonary, critical care and sleep medicine at UC San Diego School of Medicine, and I hosted a two-day symposium with participants from UCLA, Boston University, Stanford, Duke, Johns Hopkins and the Sanford Burnham Cancer Center. The goal was to make connections, share notes and begin to define a scientific path toward better understanding the link between sleep and cancer and therapeutic remedies. Attending and presenting were some of the recognized experts in this budding field: Paul E. Peppard, Ph.D., associate professor of medicine at University of Wisconsin-Madison and a sleep epidemiologist whose work was among the first to note the link between OSA and cancer; David Gozal, M.D., chief of pediatrics at University of Chicago, whose work has involved the mentioned mouse studies; and Avirum Spira, M.D., of Boston University, who recently published a study in the New England Journal of Medicine on biomarkers of cancer risk. From UC San Diego were Pablo Tamayo, Ph.D., co-director of genomics and computational biology at Moores Cancer Center, Lyudmila Bashenova, M.D., associate clinical professor of medicine; Kathryn Gold, M.D., associate professor of medicine, Robert Owens, M.D., associate professor of medicine and Mark Fuster, M.D., associate professor in residence. Highlights from the symposium will be published for further dissemination in the scientific community. And with added support from Farrell, seed money will soon be made available to jump-start the science of sleep and cancer here. Given the local talent, leadership and financial support, UC San Diego has the potential to become a leader in tackling the fundamental questions about sleep and cancer biology. This is a wake-up call and a call to action. —Scott M. Lippman, M.D., is Director of UC San Diego Moores Cancer Center.

OUR READERS WRITE Senior facilities needed in Carmel Valley Regarding Karen Cody’s letter about the lack of senior facilities in Carmel Valley — she is absolutely right! I am an original homeowner for over 30 years and we had to “negotiate “ for so many of our facilities that the Carmel Valley population now enjoy, including our award-winning schools, parks, playgrounds and shopping facilities, as they weren’t here in the past. That was the major focus for so many parents at the beginning. Now our children have grown, and we are the ones needing appropriate facilities. Carmel Valley has a large senior population, comprised of baby boomers and the elderly. There are very few senior activities that are community based. Yes, there are gyms and yoga studios, etc., but for many they are too physical or expensive, or difficult to get to for some of our population. We have the library, but that is heavily utilized. Silver Age Yoga offers a weekly class at the library that is packed, so there is a demand to keep fit. Carmel Valley Pool offers excellent programs, but again these are not for everyone. I have taken classes at the Carmel Valley Recreation Center, but there are scant classes for seniors. Could this center be expanded to include a senior center? Is there room now that could be used? I have followed the growth of Carmel Valley very closely over the last 30 years. As a baby boomer, who is able to drive to these activities, there are many who no longer can drive, and there is no public transportation. I am concerned for those seniors who must feel isolated at times. All seniors would benefit from a center that has a meeting place that provides classes and activities. There are areas in San Diego that have senior citizen centers that do just that, such as Encinitas, Clairemont, and Mira Mesa to name a few. There is a plethora of senior centers in Europe.
Being a realist, I know that land is at a premium cost here in Carmel Valley, with tremendous growth, and a center would need significant funding. Just a thought, wouldn’t it be great if the expanding Del Mar Highlands, or One Paseo, could donate land for such a venture as a senior center? Then have a benefactor who would help with the cost? How wonderful that would be! Ann-Marie Hornblower, Carmel Valley
service” requirements, creating an inherent inequality, those rates are in violation of Proposition 218. In short, the new Tier structure penalizes those with large families and/or large properties. We also believe the changes made to the new Tier structure are not directly linked to the cost of providing water services to all customers, which would mean this is in violation of Proposition 218. For these reasons, we oppose your proposed changes. With kindest regards, Cindy Baker and Joanne Fishman, Rancho Santa Fe
Concerns about proposed Tier structure for new water rates
‘A Shocking Proposal’
The following letter was submitted to the Santa Fe Irrigation District board and to this newspaper for publication. We are longtime residents of the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant and are concerned about the major changes you are proposing to the Tier structure for the new water rates. In the past, there have been three Tiers for usage and payment. Now you propose to create four. We understand the effect of this to be as follows: (1) The rates under your proposal for Tiers 1 and 2 will decrease some 7 percent this year and go up again in the following two years. At that point the rates still will be less than the current rates. (2) Tiers 2 and 3 have been reconfigured and a fourth added. Tier 2, which used to be for medium water use, going forward will benefit a low water user. Tier 3 now would apply to medium water users and here the rate starts to jump. By the time you get to the new Tier 4, which used to be Tier 2, the rate is 25 percent higher. (3) Proposition 218 and your Tier structure. You say the higher rates of Tiers 3 and 4 are because “Customers who use more water place greater demands and burdens on the District’s water system, resources and supplies.” However, Proposition 218 appears to stipulate that when Tiered water rates are imposed in a manner that deviates from “cost of
If you live in Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe or Fairbanks Ranch you are now at risk of seeing your water rates rise by up to 80 percent or more, unless you act now. On May 19, the Santa Fe Irrigation District intends to vote to give itself the power to raise your rates dramatically. They want to be able to raise your rates even if their costs remain the same, and even though there is plenty of water in San Diego County for all of us. Their proposal would eliminate all incentive to push back against politically-motivated water cuts driven by a radical left-wing agenda in Sacramento. You deserve better. We all deserve better. The good news is that the California Constitution gives us the power to object to such outrageous proposals. If you are a resident of Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe or Fairbanks Ranch, you can stop this, by sending an objection form to the Santa Fe Irrigation District no later than May 18. To print a copy of the form, go to www.rsfpost.com/sfid_protest_form To win, it is essential that every one of us sign the form! Let’s send them back to the drawing board. They need to develop a proposal that is fair and reasonable, and that protects our communities and our pocketbooks from Sacramento politicians. Don Billings, Solana Beach

FROM SEAWALL, A1 contribute to the narrowing of the beaches. “What we should be doing going forward is coming to a fair and just result for the interests of the Solana Beach residents,” said Vincent Axelson of Axelson & Corn Attorneys at Law. He represents coastal property owners in Solana Beach. “I know sometimes the interests of the Coastal Commission and the interests of the residents of Solana Beach can conflict.” “There’s no loss for them because they’ve got their seawall,” said Solana Beach resident Jim Jaffee, who serves as co-chair of the Beach Preservation Committee for the San Diego County Chapter of the Surfrider Foundation. “The only loss is the loss of the beach, which we know is an impact. ... That’s the reason why we’re assessing these fees, because we’re going to lose the beach when you build that seawall.” Solana Beach resident Gordon Hanson, an economics professor at UC
San Diego, said the council, city staff and consultants listened to all sides. “This is a process that you’ve conducted with a great deal of rigor,” he said. “You’ve listened to experts, you’ve incorporated comments, you’ve conducted a study, which, I think, if you were to put in front of environmental researchers, it’s something that they would find very credible and following best practice.” Solana Beach released a draft study in 2010, prior to adopting its land use plan. The study was never finalized due to lack of funding. With no permanent fee in place, the city has been collecting $1,000 per linear foot of seawall as a deposit toward the public recreation impact fee since 2007. In 2014, the city received a $120,000 grant from the Coastal Commission to complete the study. According to the terms of the grant, all work must be completed and submitted to the Coastal Commission by the end of April.

The draft fee study was originally released Nov. 18, 2015 through Jan. 22, 2016. Following the 66-day public review period, six comment letters and several revisions, a revised study was released Feb. 25 through April 7. The city received three additional comment letters from the Coastal Commission, Axelson & Corn and the Surfrider Foundation. The study initially set the public recreation impact fee at $870 per linear square foot for seawalls permitted this year. Now, the fee will be determined on a project-specific basis and will include both a linear foot and a square foot component associated with the design and location of the proposed bluff retention device. The new fee ranges from $431 to $939 per linear foot for devices permitted this year, increasing to $686 to $1,309 per linear foot for a typical 2-foot thick seawall in 2026. According to City Manager Gregory Wade, the actual fee will be dependent upon project-specific conditions
including the size and location of the bluff retention device, the amount of beach area that would otherwise be “immediately available” for recreation purposes, and other site-specific factors. With Deputy Mayor Peter Zahn absent, Councilwoman Ginger Marshall cast the sole dissenting vote. “Unfortunately, I wasn’t here at the nexus of the fee study,” Marshall said. “I’m just looking at this as a new, incoming city councilmember that’s been here a little over a year, and I feel sorry for the homeowners. They’re paying land lease fees, they’re paying sand mitigation fees, and now, this fee. It doesn’t rub well with me, and I’m not really supportive of charging them a third fee.” The agency has 90 days to review the report, although Wade said it could take longer. If the Coastal Commission sends the plan back to the council with suggested modifications, council members have 180 days to accept it and move forward with the certification process.

because there are a lot of tools out there. You just have to reach and find them.” Dr. Trish Hatch, a national leader in school counseling, heads the nonprofit CESCAL, and is one of the reasons why Cimino chose to continue her studies at SDSU. Hatch serves as an expert consultant to the White House and the U.S. Department of Education, advocating for students and school counselors all over the country. In just six months of working with CESCAL, Cimino said she has learned so much about the need to increase opportunities for all students through improved school counseling programs. “Education improves education for those kids, but also, I think, education for the rest of society about the issues those kids face will lead to greater justice for all,” she said. The conference will take place April 27-28 in San Diego. For more information, visit http://bit.ly/1U6JBqJ.
often caused problems in local government,” Emerson said. “Citizens don’t want to do that. They like to know what their money’s being used for.” Furthermore, visitors should pay their fair share, he said. “In a visitor-rich town like we are, we ought to be looking at ways that people who visit us and enjoy our services and cause us to spend money on our services, help us pay for them,” said Emerson, adding that as much as 70 percent of the city’s sales tax comes from people who aren’t Del Mar residents. In February, the council approved a $25,000 study to better estimate the costs a citywide undergrounding project. The community has long identified undergrounding utility poles as a top priority, but the last undergrounding project along a portion of Camino del Mar was completed almost four years ago. At the request of council liaisons Deputy Mayor Terry Sinnott and Councilman Al Corti, the Finance Committee began researching a long-term project about a year ago. Dan Quirk, chairman of the subcommittee working on the project, said he spoke with representatives from San Diego Gas & Electric, who explained that costs are based on the number of poles and linear feet. Quirk counted about 377 poles in the city and calculated approximately 53,000 linear feet. At approximately $450 per linear foot, the subcommittee estimated it would cost about $25 million to underground all utility poles in Del Mar except for some along Via de la Valle
Life Tributes
and near the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Still, the subcommittee requested an independent estimate. The study by consultant Utility Specialists Southwest, Inc. is due May 23. “Undergrounding is a strong desire by the community,” Sinnott said. Although some council members supported moving forward with the proposal, Councilman Don Mosier said the community could reject the measure because voters will be asked to approve another sales tax hike on the November ballot. The San Diego Association of Governments has proposed a half-cent sales tax increase to pay for decades of infrastructure projects. “I think the timing is awful, piling on top of the regional TransNet tax issue, which has benefits for Del Mar,” Mosier said. “I think it’s just the wrong election to do it.” City Manager Scott Huth said the council would have to take action by the end of July to get a measure on the November ballot. “We’re sitting OK right now,” he said. Council members would also have to decide whether the increase would be tied specifically to the undergrounding project, which would require a two-thirds majority for approval. A general sales tax increase would require only a simple majority. SANDAG’s half-cent sales tax increase would require a two-thirds majority for approval. “That’s going to be confusing,” Mosier said. “It’s possible that our sales tax could ride on the coattails of the TransNet, so I’m not sure which way that scenario will play out. To me, it’s pretty complicated. You’ve got two potential sales taxes on one ballot and a different voter threshold for each one.”
Everlasting memories of loved ones
James Wilday Nelson January 13, 1936 - April 8, 2016
SolAnA BeAch — James W. nelson passed away suddenly last Friday of natural causes. Jim was born in englewood, new Jersey, to charles and hazel nelson. he received a Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial engineering from Yale University in 1957 and later a MBA degree from Pepperdine University. Upon graduation, Jim began a 38-year career with Alcoa as an engineer and retired as Technical Manager. Jim married the love of his life and wife of nearly 56 years, Kathalijn Verhulst nelson, whom he met when she was working at the netherlands consulate General in new York city. Together they raised three daughters. The family moved from closter, new Jersey, to hudson, ohio, and finally to la cañada, california. In hudson, Jim
served on the town council and Montessori School Board. Upon retiring, Jim and Kathalijn choose to settle in Solana Beach. They became very active in the community and over the years Jim served on the city’s Budget and Finance committee and on the Solana Beach civic and historical Society as President, Treasurer, and as the curator of the Solana Beach heritage
Museum. With his wife, he was instrumental in developing the Museum’s current displays and the living history Program for third graders. Jim researched and authored two books on the history of Solana Beach and volunteered as a docent at Birch Aquarium and the natural history Museum. he tutored through casa de Amistad’s Study companions Program, and helped maintain trails with the Dust Devil Volunteers of the San Dieguito River Valley conservancy. Throughout his professional and civic career, Jim always made time for his family. camping and traveling were favorite vacation activities. Jim and Kathalijn had just returned from a trip that included visits to Jim’s brother and wife and Kathalijn’s cousins in Florida.
Jim is survived by his wife, Kathalijn; daughters, erica e. nelson and evelyn n. chandler; sons-in-law, Robert Mclafferty, Julian Kwasneski and christopher chandler; grandchildren, Bryant Mclafferty, lesley Mclafferty, Aidan Kwasneski and lieneka Kwasneski; brother, chad nelson and his wife, Joan; and numerous extended family. he is predeceased by his parents and his daughter, Karyn h. nelson. Jim was dearly loved and will be greatly missed. A celebration of life ceremony for Jim will be held on May 14, 2016, at 10:00am at the Solana Beach heritage Museum. In lieu of flowers, the family would prefer donations be made to the Solana Beach civic and historical Society. Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/delmartimes.

FROM STOPLIGHT, A1 According to Biljana Dekic, an associate traffic engineer with the city of San Diego, a traffic study has been conducted and the light passes the minimum threshold for installation and the funds are available. The city would act to install the light if approved by the planning board. The proposed signal would include a protected left turn and the light would be green most of the time if there were no vehicles on Mercado, Dekic said. The intersection would have crosswalks at all four legs with a push button system. Many residents pointed to a visibility issue with the sun glare on the hill leading up to the intersection, worried that the light would divert traffic into neighborhood streets and questioned the necessity when there is only .2 miles between the stoplight at Mango and the proposed Mercado stoplight. Resident Jim Dalton said the sun glare is extreme going up that hill and not like other traffic areas in San Diego; he fears that kids will trust in the idea that cars are going to stop but drivers are not going to be able to see them. “It’s a terrible idea,” Dalton said. “We don’t need it.” Several Del Mar Heights School parents said that they do not think the light will help kids get to school. A former Heights parent said ` his son never had an issue crossing the road to school for six years—he said his son crossed at Crest Road. Del Mar Heights School parents Eric and Vishakha Gisler, stated their strong opposition to the light. “The traffic signal will not improve safety of children walking to school,” Vishakha said. “Studies show that there are two times the number of accidents at signalized intersections than at non-signalized intersections.” As the real issue is during school pick up and drop off, one resident said the light is a solution for a problem that exists for only 10 minutes in the morning and afternoon 180 days of the year and yet will cause problems “24-7, 365.” Torrey Pines Board Chair Noel Spaid said the board was not ready to take action on the stoplight at this time. Instead, the board decided to form an ad-hoc committee that will look at Del Mar Heights Road as a whole and consider a variety of traffic calming measures as part of a “Del Mar Heights Safety Enhancement Plan.” “What I feel isn’t going to be solved by a light is how do pedestrians move throughout the community without taking our lives in our hands,” said board member Cathy Kenton, who recommended the committee’s formation. “I think there’s a bigger solution to both speed and safety and access. I don’t know that there’s an answer but maybe there is.” The overall Del Mar Heights plan would also address beautification, potential sidewalk additions and enhancements, Spaid said. Dekic said the city does have some limitations in what can be done as the street is a major arterial and they can’t put the thoroughfare on a “road diet,” meaning they can’t drop the number of lanes. The board discussed options for Del Mar Heights like a buffered bike lane or a planted median. A handful of people did speak out in favor of the stoplights for overall safety for drivers and pedestrians. Bill Curry, said he strongly supports the light because turning left on Del Mar Heights can be a “white-knuckle experience.”

A CCA Envision student rehearses for performances featured at the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation Gala, to be held May 14.
Student involvement key part of CCA Foundation Gala
T
he Canyon Crest Academy Foundation’s Italian-themed gala will support its mission to enrich the experience of every student every day, with students as partners in every part of the gala. Held on Saturday, May 14 at 6:30 p.m. on the CCA campus, the evening will include a magical trip to Venice with dinner, live entertainment, and the Venice: Unmasked show. From the decor to the final clean up efforts, the show literally would not go on without the enthusiastic involvement of hundreds of students. Featuring collaboration between all seven Envision Arts disciplines, Quest STEM divisions, and CCA Athletics,the event is held on campus to minimize costs. While intended to allow the Foundation to invest more directly into student programs, holding the gala on campus also facilitates extra student involvement. According to Gala Co-Chair Janette Shelton, ”We are delighted to have the opportunity to carry out our mission of enriching the experience of every student every day by having our gala on campus. Not only does the money raised benefit each student, the students are an integral part of the preparations and show from preparing videos, the performance, art, music, and marketing.” Artwork from Envision students will be the highlight of the decor greeting attendees. Students have created works of art from paintings to sculpture, and live art displays will showcase the creative process. Theater technicians will use lighting to create Venice street scenes, and provide perfect selfie spots! Students will also be providing the musical entertainment, with live orchestral and operatic performances, before the Venice: Unmasked show begins. Students are also hard at work creating some of the special staging that guests will enjoy even before the show begins. Attendees will need to keep their eyes out for large scale replicas of Venice features such as gondolas. Guided by Kristine Kerr, veteran set designer for the Old Globe Theatre, student artists are getting real world experience from working artists while they work to make the Gala an event the community will not want to miss. Tickets are expected to sell out for this celebration, and are available now, along with VIP packages, Athletic and Proscenium Theater Plaques. Opportunities for business and personal sponsorships and donations are still available. More information and tickets are found at www.ccagala.com. The Canyon Crest Academy Foundation is a parent-led 501(c)(3) organization providing fantastic opportunities across academics, athletics, and the arts, and creating an environment where students can thrive. Your tax-deductible donation to the CCA Foundation is vitally needed to continue our support of these programs. You can donate online at canyoncrestfoundation.org.
BY KAREN BILLING ith its second annual Rainbow Week, Torrey Pines High School promoted a campus of acceptance, kindness and respect for all students. Organized by the school’s Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA), Rainbow Week was full of activities and discussions aimed at making the school a safe place for people of all genders and sexuality through education and awareness. “Rainbow Week is valuable because it takes Torrey Pines away from the feeling of being ‘us versus them’ and brings us together as a community,” said JJ Hsu, a GSA member. “By opening means of communication, Torrey Pines GSA works to bring out curiosity and ultimately an understanding of those who we have labeled as ‘different.’” Don Collins, teacher and Torrey Pines GSA advisor, said he was very proud of the students in the GSA who organized and planned the week. “These students put their heart and soul into Rainbow Week because they believe in equality and social justice, not because they are lesbian or gay or trans, because many of the kids in the GSA do not identify that way,” Collins said. “However, they know, just as I know, that there are LGBT kids here on campus and the GSA is working to help educate our entire campus about fairness and equal treatment. That starts with treating everybody with dignity, respect and kindness regardless of what other ideas we each individually hold.” Last month, in conjunction with the Anti Defamation League, Torrey Pines hosted a “No Place For Hate” week to increase understanding on behalf of students of all races, nationalities, ethnicity, religions and backgrounds. During Rainbow Week, students were encouraged to sign a Resolution of Respect from the Anti-Defamation League. The resolution included a pledge to be aware of their own biases, to seek to gain understanding and to support the belief that one person can make a difference and no person can be an innocent bystander when it comes to opposing hate. “Students have to feel safe before they can focus on learning,” said TPHS Principal David Jaffe. “Events like Rainbow Week and No Place for Hate help all of our students know we see them and we support them.” On Wednesday, an assembly was held with representatives from the Human Rights Campaign (HRC) , the largest group in the country that works toward LGBT equality. From Susan Guinn, a civil and human rights lawyer with the HRC, students

Courtesy photos learned that there are 79 countries in the world where it is illegal to be LGBT and that there are 31 states where people can be fired for being gay. Guinn also led a discussion about North Carolina’s anti-discrimination law that excludes protections for discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity. Guinn shared heartbreaking statistics that 40 percent of homeless teens in San Diego were thrown out of their family home for being LGBT and that last year, five transgender students in San Diego County committed suicide after being bullied. Two of them were only 14 years old. “(LGBT teens) can choose to be invisible for a variety of reasons,” said Guinn. “Make it a friendly environment to be themselves.” On Thursday, an assembly featured a panel from San Diego State University’s TransYouth Project, who shared with students the difference between sexuality and gender and addressed questions. GSA President Amal Lamb said there were so many interesting and perceptive questions that the panel ran out of time. “Though it seems quite simple, it is truly reassuring to know we’ve created a safe and welcoming enough space that students surrounded by classmates and teachers feel comfortable enough to share their curiosity without any hesitance,” Amal said. Teacher Abby Brown, who took her class to the discussion, said she did not have exposure to these types of discussions when she attended Torrey Pines 20 years ago. Torrey Pines senior Lane Smith said the event helped provide some clarification on certain matters. “It was interesting to learn about what trans people are going through because
Students sign the Resolution of Respect banner at Rainbow Week. for me it’s pretty confusing. To be honest, I thought it was kind of weird, but I haven’t had these issues. I do know kids at Torrey who I grew up with and I see them trying to figure this stuff out. So I guess I’d rather be cool with it than act like a jerk,” Lane said. “I know they’re on campus and if I was going through this stuff I wouldn’t want it to be a big deal. I just want to treat everyone normally.” Jennifer Magruder, a Torrey Pines school counselor, noted that is how Rainbow Week is can be so valuable — to allow students to see that there are others who struggle because they are “different.” “All students need and deserve acceptance and support and to feel safe as they figure out themselves during challenging high school years,” said Mary Pancner, TPHS education specialist. “This is the time when students determine who they are and where they fit in the world. Rainbow Week lets every student know there’s a place for them at Torrey Pines.”

A scene from ‘Great Scott,’ coming to San Diego Opera May 7.
KAREN ALMOND, DALLAS OPERA
‘Great Scott!’ Comedy, drama join forces at San Diego Opera By LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT ow many operas can you think of that have been called “hilarious, endearing, sophisticated and profound”? Starting May 7, San Diego Opera, in partnership with the Dallas Opera, will present the West Coast premiere of one of those happy few — “Great Scott,” a thoroughly modern opera about a diva, a faltering small-town opera company and football. The prolific composer, Jake Heggie, lists eight pages of operas, song cycles, chamber and orchestral works on his website, including the whale-scale opera “Moby Dick,” which had its West Coast premiere here in 2012. And “Great Scott” has a libretto by acclaimed writer Terrence McNally, who was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame 20 years ago for his contributions to the Broadway stage. Besides a Tony Award for “Master Class,” his play about the ultimate opera diva, Maria Callas, he also won “Best Book for a Musical,” Tonys for “Ragtime” and “Kiss of the Spider Woman,” and did the libretto for Heggie’s first opera, “Dead Man Walking.” The third man behind “Great Scott” is director Jack O’Brien, well-known in these parts as Artistic Director of the Old Globe Theatre from 1981 to 2007, and a three-time Tony-winner himself. Together, this trio has crafted a production well worth seeing and hearing, with more comic lines than most librettos could ever imagine. How did Great Scott come into being? “After Moby Dick, I was asked to do another opera for the Dallas Opera,” Heggie said in a recent interview. “I wanted to write something for the great mezzo-soprano Joyce DiDonato, and I wanted to work with Terrence McNally again, so I said yes, and Terrence said, ‘Let’s be really bold. Let’s do something with comedy and drama.’ Usually it’s one or the other, but he came up with the story and right from the start, I was swept in. “It’s very contemporary, bringing up the questions we ask ourselves about the sacrifices we make for our careers: Was it worth it? Does my contribution matter? Does my presence make a difference in the world?” The San Diego production includes four cast members from last year’s world premiere
H
in Dallas, plus four additions. “So it’s 50 percent the people we wrote it for and 50 percent new people, which is very exciting,” Heggie said. “In opera, we don’t get to do previews; it’s just shot out of a cannon opening night. Now we’ll get a chance to hear it with new voices, and fresh ears. I haven’t worked with Kate Aldrich before, but she’s a real star, and it will be a completely different interpretation.” Fifteen minutes have already been cut from the Dallas version, and more changes may be made during rehearsals, which began April 18. “We get a two and a half week rehearsal period for a very big show — that’s our world,” Heggie said. “So it’s not easy to make changes. But that’s why you work with the best people around.” “Great Scott” asks the question: does opera matter? And both Dallas and San Diego know something about struggling opera companies, and caring enough to step up and fight for their continued existence. “Opera does matter,” said Heggie. “People are glued to their flat screens; they need to go out and experience something alive. And opera only exists when it’s being performed; the final character is the audience. I can’t wait to see what happens in San Diego!” Next up for Heggie: An opera-based on the classic Christmas film, “It’s a Wonderful Life,” opening in Houston in December. Right now, it’s Scott-time in San Diego, and you can be the final character in the West Coast premiere. ■ IF YOU GO: “Great Scott” takes the stage 7 p.m. May 7, 10 and 13, and 2 p.m. May 15 at San Diego Opera, Civic Theatre, 1100 3rd Ave. Tickets: (619) 533-7000. sdopera.com

Trying to fit in leads to downfall of novel’s main character BY JOE TASH n Stephanie Clifford’s novel, “Everybody Rise,” the main character is a girl who came from humble beginnings and becomes so obsessed with infiltrating New York’s high society scene that she’ll do almost anything to fit in, whether it’s lying, cheating or stealing. Clifford herself is a Brooklynite, but was not part of the upper-class circles she writes about, that is, until she left her hometown of Seattle as a teenager to attend an exclusive New Hampshire prep school. The featured speaker at the April 14 meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society, Clifford said in an interview before her talk that she became fascinated with the old money crowd she encountered at prep school, people who summered in the Adirondacks and were wealthy enough that buildings were named after them. “It was interesting and anachronistic, like finding a tribe of Druids. Why are you guys still here? I wanted to understand their customs,” said Clifford, who earlier this year stepped away from a full-time reporting position at the New York Times to focus more on fiction writing. “Everybody Rise” is Clifford’s first novel, and was published in 2015 by St. Martin’s Press. She wrote the book furtively over an eight-year period, writing from 6 to 8 a.m. each morning before work at the Times, as she also juggled such personal demands as getting married and having a newborn baby. Insecure about her novelistic efforts, she didn’t tell anyone about them, but there were elements about the transition from journalist to fiction writer that she enjoyed. “It was so freeing not to be constrained by facts,” she said. As an example, her original draft featured two sisters, one who played by the rules and one who didn’t. But after a while, she realized that the “baddy,” the sister named Evelyn, was the more interesting of the two. “I just tossed out the first sister and it felt so good to do that.” As the story follows Evelyn’s attempts to insinuate herself with the New York high society set, from debutante balls to summertime sailing competitions, the book also examines the

Author Stephanie Clifford, Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society President Candace Humber class struggles between ordinary Americans and those born to wealth and power. In an exchange with her school friend, Charlotte, Evelyn tries to explain why she is so intent on elevating her social status: “I guess it’s the tradition of it. The way of life, the code of
manners. Treating people well, and serving a greater good... I thought the people would be awful and they’re nice. They’re great, in fact.” “But” - Charlotte swept her hand over the meeting room “who in that crowd, or here, for that matter, is achieving a greater good? It’s a bunch of self-involved kids who have jobs supplied for them by their parents.” In researching and writing her novel, said Clifford, she wanted to tell a good story, but also explore themes of class and status. “I’m fascinated by class. It’s not something we’re supposed to talk about in America. It is a thing. We’re clearly seeing it in this election. There’s a lot of anger about the haves and the have-nots, and who has to play by the rules and who doesn’t,” she said. At its heart, “Everybody Rise” is about a young woman, her relationship with her mother and her friends, and the toll that trying to fit in with a world where perhaps she didn’t really belong took on her personal, professional and financial life. As Evelyn herself observed after her life had unraveled, in a message she sought to relay to one of her former upper-crust friends, “Tell her I lost myself.” As she continues to promote “Everybody Rise,” Clifford is already at work on a new novel, this time a parallel story about two young mothers who live in Brooklyn, one who came from an impoverished background and lands in legal trouble, and another who is dealing with the stresses of life from a different socioeconomic level. The book touches on issues of poverty, race and the criminal justice system, but also has its similarities with her first novel. Much like the insular world of New York’s moneyed elite, she said, the prison system is also a closed society with its own language, rules and pecking order. As she works on her new novel, Clifford is continuing to write freelance articles for the New York Times and New Yorker magazine. According to her website, www.stephanieclifford.net, the film rights for “Everybody Rise” were purchased by Fox 2000, and the paperback edition of the novel is due out June 12.

R
egistration is open for Canyon Crest Academy’s Robotics Summer Camps.

Campers build and program robots using VEX IQ and
EDR sets, then participate at the end of the week in a mini competition where they form alliances and test their contraptions.

CCA Envision Theater student presents 'Hateful Hands' Jacob Surovsky, senior and Theater Conservatory student, is ready to present his directorial debut to the public this week with his senior thesis, titled “Hateful Hands.” As a third year member of Theater Conservatory, Surovsky has had the opportunity to work on a senior thesis project. In this project, Surovsky has compiled all the techniques and skills he’s learned during his time in Theater Conservatory and applied them to a new piece of live theater. “Hateful Hands” is a fusion of puppetry and William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, two of Jacob’s greatest passions. The show plays off themes of manipulation and the supernatural that are prevalent in Shakespeare’s text, creating a fresh and exciting look at Shakespeare’s greatest tragedy. Leading a cast and crew of all high school students, Surovsky is stepping into the role of director for the first time after four years of theater training in the Envision Theater Program. In addition, over the past school year, he has worked countless hours outside of school constructing full body puppets from scratch for the show. The conclusion to this enormous effort opens this Thursday, April 21 at Canyon Crest Academy. Showtimes are: April 21, 7 p.m.; April 22, 4:30/7 p.m.; and April 23, 2/7 p.m. at the Canyon Crest Academy Black Box Theater. The Canyon Crest Academy Foundation is a 501(c)(3) organization providing fantastic opportunities across academics, athletics, and the arts, and creating an environment

Swirls frozen yogurt shop offers unique, delicious flavors BY KELLEY CARLSON ith hot days just around the corner, frozen yogurt shop Swirls is a place where people can enjoy a cool treat. The company touts its yogurt as a healthy meal and snack alternative. It cites a number of benefits, including the lowering of cholesterol through live and active cultures; the promotion of healthy digestion; an increase in metabolism; high calcium, protein and potassium; boosting of the immune system; and the building of strong bones. “We have unique flavors and excellent-tasting yogurt,” said Evan Wilensky, chief executive officer of ESW Investments Inc., which owns Swirls. “You can definitely taste the difference between our yogurt and another frozen yogurt shop because of the premium product we use.” Swirls has been serving the coastal North County area since 2008 and was an instant success, Wilensky noted. Today, there are two locations in Encinitas and Carmel Valley, and he frequents both of them. “I love serving a healthy, quality
W
product, and I make sure the customers have a great time and experience at all the Swirls locations,” Wilensky said. The 2002 Torrey Pines High School graduate emphasized that he loves being part of the community, and he ensures that the frozen yogurt shop is an active participant in local events such as fundraisers and school activities. Residents have shown their appreciation by voting Swirls as their top choice for frozen yogurt five years in a row in the Best of North Coast readers poll for the Del Mar Times and associated newspapers. Perhaps one reason for its popularity is the variety. There are 52 flavors of frozen yogurt — including nonfat and low-fat — and they rotate daily. The most popular kinds include Cake Batter, Red Velvet, Dulce de Leche, Tart Pomegranate and Cookies ’n’ Cream. On any given day, a customer will find a vanilla flavor, a chocolate option, Cookies ’n’ Cream, either peanut butter or peanut butter cup, and non-dairy and non-sugar selections, Wilensky said. The
Evan Wilensky Encinitas store serves 10 flavors daily, while Carmel Valley carries 12. Next month, Swirls is preparing to add a new twist to its frozen yogurt lineup. The dessert shop will be offering soft-serve gelato and soft-serve Italian ice, alongside its flagship product. The new flavors are still to be determined, but they will add to the already-diverse array that ranges from tart to traditional. Meanwhile, customers are able to enhance their dessert with an

assortment of toppings, and with 24 available, there’s room for creative concoctions. Fresh fruit is delivered to Swirls locations each day, with offerings driven by the season, and there’s everything from mango and kiwi to strawberries. Among the dry toppings are mini chocolate chips, mini M&Ms, gummy bears, chopped peanut butter cups, rainbow and chocolate sprinkles, and old-fashioned granola. And there are nearly a half-dozen sauces, including chocolate, marshmallow, caramel,
peanut butter and raspberry. Because it’s self-serve, patrons have the ability to perfect their product, which is priced by the ounce. Wilensky revealed that he also has another dessert concept that he has just finalized. He wasn’t able to elaborate on details, other than it is separate from Swirls and not frozen yogurt, but he promised that “everyone will love it, from little kids to seniors. I can’t wait to offer it to the entire community.” The Encinitas Swirls is at 204 N. El Camino Real, Suite G; call (760) 479-2442.

Author Rebecca Bricker presents ‘The Secret of Marie’ at Del Mar Library April 30 Del Mar Branch Library is holding an upcoming author talk and read with memoirist, novelist, travel writer, and blogger Rebecca Bricker on Saturday, April 30 at 1:30 p.m. She will present her new book, The Secret of Marie, which is an art-history mystery set in Giverny, France about the favorite model of American Impressionist artist Theodore Robinson who was mentored by Claude Monet. One of the key paintings in The Secret of Marie is in collection of the San Diego Museum of Art. Bricker will share details about her role as an art-historian as she researched for the book and a slideshow of photographs of Giverny, which was a thriving artists’ colony from the late 1800s until World War II.

USS Midway speakers present ‘The Fall of Saigon’ at Del Mar Library May 3 Del Mar Library will host speakers Bruce Maxon and Buck Ramsey with the U.S.S. Midway Museum on Tuesday, May 3 at 1:30 p.m. Maxon and Ramsey will talk about the events leading up to the routing of the South Vietnamese Army during the final days of the Vietnam War. As the People’s Army of Vietnam surrounded Saigon, thousands of South Vietnamese fled for their lives to the safety of the United States fleet just off-shore. The U.S.S. Midway received more than 3,000 refugees, many of them one step ahead of certain death, or long terms in re-education camps under the Liberation Armies. Operation Frequent Wind is a story of fear, hope, and sanctuary for those South Vietnamese fortunate enough to escape Saigon during the final days of the Vietnam War. This event is part of San Diego County Library’s celebration of Older Americans Month. The Del Mar Branch Library is located at 1309 Camino Del Mar. For more information, call the library at (858) 755-1666. For information about San Diego County Library and other events, visit www.sdcl.org.

Del Mar Parenting Consortium speaker addresses effects of sports on kids
D
r. Douglas Barba, lead faculty for the Master of Arts in Performance Psychology, in the Department of Psychology, at National University, visited Del Mar Hills Academy April 13 as the most recent speaker in the Del Mar Parenting Consortium. The consortium includes Del Mar Hills Academy PTA, Del Mar Heights PTA, and the Del Mar Foundation, which work together to bring speakers of interest to parents in the Del Mar community. Barba addressed the emotional impact of athletics on elementary school children. He discussed the benefits of athletics as a confidence booster, a means of improving the body physically, and a way to socialize children to prepare them for future endeavors. He also reminded the audience that athletics for kids in elementary school should be fun, above all else, and that it is often the adults who try to “organize” sports who often end up negating many of the important benefits of athletics for children.

SPONSORED COLUMNS DR. VAN CHENG San Diego Vein Institute 760.944.9263
The Myth of the Home Remedy Vein Cure Many people go out of their way to avoid surgery or other invasive treatment, which is understandable. For some, there is a genuine squeamishness when it comes to needles and the potential for any level of pain. Then there are those who are wary of the time or financial commitment involved in surgical and non-surgical procedures, with added time for recovery. Others yet have a mistrust of traditional or western medicine, preferring the homeopathic approach, favoring herbs, poultices, and essential oils. Thousands of dollars can be spend each year just by one person on
supplements and home remedies—even in the case of varicose and spider veins. There are popular searches on the internet for “Get rid of varicose veins naturally” and “How to get rid of varicose veins at home.” There are certainly plenty of results for supplements and remedies to “melt away your symptoms.” Millions of dollars, in fact, are spent a year, both on personal online retailers and at general nutrition stores, on supplements and creams that have no proven medical effects, have not been approved by the FDA, and in some cases can be hazardous to your health. Supplements are an unregulated industry—and because of the fact that 50% of people will develop varicose or spider veins in their lifetime, and many of those will seek home remedies, millions of dollars will continue to be spent on just vein remedies alone. It won’t matter if they are proven to be effective or not because people will continue to buy them, companies will continue to make and sell them for a profit, and until the companies are forced into regulation, new consumers
will continue to pay up, seeking magic potions and snake oils. It is generally a good thing when people make choices toward an active lifestyle and healthy living, including organic eating and avoiding unhealthful habits, especially with diet. In my columns, I’m an active proponent on doing whatever you can to prevent the conditions for varicose and spider veins to proliferate. But the truth is that some people are genetically predisposed to the condition, and there is no 100% proven prevention for any venous condition. And once you develop this condition, no home remedy will make them go away. Pine bark, witch hazel, grapeseed oil, cayenne pepper, immersion baths, green tea, chestnut bark, St. John’s wort, aloe vera, butcher’s broom, arnica Montana, and even turpentine and enemas have all been cited as cures for varicose veins—but they do not work. Any “improvements” noted from home remedies are a result of the placebo effect. Topical creams and ointments are a waste
of money as well, and even exercise is not a cure (although don’t give up on exercise!). I know people’s fears of procedures are real. And for those whose mothers had the old fashioned vein treatments, those fears are not unfounded. But vein therapy has become much less invasive than the outdated veins stripping of years past. All but the most severe treatment is a quick office visit that is so simple and non-traumatizing that it can be done on a work lunch break. Laser treatment and foam sclerotherapy are stateof-the-art treatments that, for some, involve almost no pain at all. Varicose veins are a medical condition, and if left untreated, can become something very serious indeed. You do not want to jeopardize your health. But it is good to be informed about your options. Speaking to a medical professional such as a phlebologist can answer many of your questions and put you at ease about treating your vein disease the right way.

Proposed revisions to the Del Mar Community Plan would limit and require voter approval to allow certain development-related actions to occur for developments of 25,000 square feet or more in any commercial zone, including: increases in permitted height structure; increases in floor area ratio and lot coverage allowed; increases in the residential density permitted, whether by general plan amendment, community plan amendment, local coastal program amendment, specific plan, planned development, zone change, tentative subdivision map, or other discretionary land use approval; and approval of a specific plan for qualifying parcels with any commercial designation or in any commercial zone as of March 15, 2016. The Community Plan would further be amended to delete goals to explore mixed residential commercial land uses within the commercial area adjacent to Stratford Court and to allow mixed residential commercial land uses within other areas of the commercially zoned downtown area. The Housing Element would be revised to require voter approval for: a zone code amendment and associated actions to assign a new land use designation for two North Commercial Zone vacant properties, as well as any other changes to those properties that would require or allow a change to the zoning code, specific plan, density bonus, or increase in floor area ratio, lot coverage, or building height; zone code amendments to the North Commercial and Professional Commercial Zone’s development standards to increase allowable residential density; any change to the land use and zoning policies of qualifying parcels in the North Commercial and Professional Commercial Zones from the underlying zone permitted as of March 15, 2016; any specific plan, zone code changes or density bonus for development projects of 25,000 square feet or more for parcels with any commercial designation in the Community Plan or zoning code as of March 15 2016; and any increase in floor area ratio, lot coverage, or building height limits or re-designation for higher density residential development for development projects of 25,000 square feet or more for parcels in any commercial zone. Proposed revisions to the Municipal Code would require voter approval for any increase in floor area ratio, lot coverage, and/or building height limits with respect to developments of 25,000 square feet or more in the Residential-Commercial, Central Commercial, Beach Commercial, North Commercial, Professional Commercial, or Visitor Commercial Zones as of March 15, 2016, as well as voter approval for any variance, zoning amendment, or density bonus for such qualifying development projects in commercial zones. Any action requiring voter approval would require a simple majority. If a special election were requested for such voter approval, the costs would be borne by the project proponents. Prepared By: Leslie E. Devaney, City Attorney, City of Del Mar
NOTICE OF INTENT TO CIRCULATE PETITION Notice is hereby given by the person whose name appears hereon of his/her intention to circulate the petition within the City of Del Mar for the purpose of requiring voter approval of land use changes to property of 25,000 square feet or more located in any commercial zone. A statement of the reasons of the proposed action as contemplated in the petition is as follows: - There is a current trend to allow large-scale development projects in the City of Del Mar. - These large-scale development projects allowed on commercially zoned land can have irreversible impacts on our community. - These projects can result in increased traffic congestion, increased vehicle trips and vehicle miles traveled and create unsafe traffic conditions for cars, pedestrians and bicycles. - These projects disrupt the low density residential character of Del Mar by causing abrupt transitions between larger projects and adjacent residential neighborhoods. - These projects destroy or disrupt the natural resources and result in a loss of Del Mar’s valuable open space.

EVENT BRIEFS (CONTINUED) FROM EVENTS, B10 7-Eleven parking lot, at the corner of Hwy 101 and D St. For more information, including the full entertainment lineup, visit www.encinitas101.com Teen Volunteers in Action San Diego Chapter 2 to hold Senior Send Off event Teen Volunteers in Action San Diego Chapter 2 will hold its Senior Send Off event on May 22 from 3:30-5:30 p.m. at the Canyon Crest Academy Proscenium Theatre. Teen Volunteers in Action is an organization of young men, who, with their families, are committed to developing community leaders through a structured program of volunteerism, philanthropy, and personal development. The event will honor its graduating seniors who have been actively involved in giving back to their community through philanthropic service throughout San Diego County. The keynote speaker at the event will be Travis Ricks, a graduate of Clairemont High School and Cal State University San Marcos. Ricks was 17 years old when he discovered a rare tumor growing in his right knee. A talented athlete, his life turned upside down as he endured a year of chemotherapy and a total knee replacement during his senior year of high school. Four years later, in 2003, aggressive staph infections led to 16 more knee surgeries and two years in the hospital. Ricks was faced with the decision to fuse his knee and never be active again, or amputate his leg and recreate himself in the the world of sports. Since his amputation, Ricks has been an avid runner, snowboarder, surfer, rock climber, volleyball player, and triathlete. But his most important activity has been his work with The Challenged Athlete Foundation. The Challenged Athlete Foundation provides opportunities to people with physical disabilities so they can pursue active lifestyles through physical fitness and competitive athletics.

Casa de Amparo leads the charge for Child Abuse Prevention Month Casa de Amparo kicked off the first full week of Child Abuse Prevention Month by hosting its 3rd Annual Come Home to Casa event and receiving a $15,000 gift from Union Bank and the San Diego Chargers as the beneficiaries of the Game Changers Program. April is National Child Abuse Prevention month and Casa de Amparo is encouraging all individuals and organizations to play a role in making San Diego County a better place for children and families. “April is a time to celebrate the important role that communities play in protecting children,” said Casa de Amparo Executive Director, Tamara Fleck-Myers LMFT. “Everyone’s participation is critical. Focusing on ways to build and support children and families in our care goes a long way toward preventing child abuse and neglect while simultaneously promoting optimal child development.” Now in its third year, Come Home to Casa is an open house event, where Casa de Amparo invites the community to visit the organization’s San Marcos campus and learn more about Casa de Amparo’s programs and facilities. Community members toured the 11.4-acre campus, signed the Casa Kid’s pledge wall, enjoyed refreshments, and participated in Come Home to Casa’s annual supply drive by donating Casa de Amparo wish list items.
Before the festivities began, Executive Director Tamara Fleck-Myers was invited down to Chargers Park to accept a $15,000 donation from the San Diego Chargers and Union Bank as the recipient of the 2015 Game Changers Program, which invited fans at Chargers home games to donate their loose change and bills in support of Casa de Amparo. Total donations were matched by the Union Bank Foundation and the San Diego Chargers resulting in $15,000 donation. After its third consecutive year, the Game Changers Program has contributed more than $45,000 to non-profits in the San Diego region. “Casa de Amparo is thankful to the San Diego Chargers and Union Bank for supporting our mission through the Game Changers campaign,” said Fleck-Myers. “Every dollar donated makes a huge difference in our initiatives to stop child mistreatment of any kind and end generational cycles of abuse. With your support, our goal is to create a community where child abuse and neglect are not tolerated, and families can thrive.” Community members who would like to play a meaningful role in preventing and treating child abuse and neglect can contact Kathy Karpé, Director of Development at (760) 754-5500 or kkarpe@casadeamparo.org.

Honor Earth Day: Waste Not, Want Not ‘Opie, you haven’t finished your milk. We can’t put it back in the cow, you know.” —Aunt Bee Taylor, “The Andy Griffith Show”
M
uch like Opie, I was a wasteful child, my mother constantly reminding me that “my eyes were bigger than my stomach,” and I should only take as much food on my plate as I could eat. Today, I try my best to conserve, preserve and recycle as I kick up my sustainable heels and shrink my carbon footprint. With Earth Day celebrated globally on April 22 here’s a primer to help you enjoy more of our planet’s bounty, and waste less. Mulch Madness: Instead of tossing biodegradable wastes into the trash, pile them into a well-aerated, lidded compost bin. A mixture of coffee grounds and tea bags, citrus and melon rinds, apple cores, egg shells, cardboard scraps, leaves and old flowers will eventually decompose into a rich, organic mulch or humus to feed your garden beds with homemade, nitrogen-rich fertilizer. Certain items are persona non grata in the composting bin, such as, dairy products that might attract pests, breads, pastas, table scraps, bones and nuts that don’t easily decompose, along with anything plastic. The Time is Ripe: Some fruits and

vegetables can be salvaged even though they are soft, wilted, and unappealingly discolored. In fact, certain ripe fruits make the best treats (banana breads, peach cobblers, apple strudels, poached pears), the creamiest smoothies (mangoes, guavas, papayas), and the sweetest preserves (strawberries, blueberries). While vegetables past their salad days can still enhance assorted dishes. Very vine-ripened tomatoes make refreshing gazpachos, rich marinara sauces and cioppino stews; spongy carrots and soggy celery are still fine in soups and casseroles, while mushy avocadoes make divine guacamole. ‘Tis the Season: Buy seasonal and local (if possible, organic, too), that’s healthier for you, your wallet, and the community. These not only have fewer pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, but a smaller carbon footprint since they are not road- or jet-lagged. Best seasonal picks for April and May are asparagus, broccolini, new potatoes, radishes, spring onions, avocados, rhubarb, strawberries, and blood oranges, while best catches include mackerel, trout, Dover sole, cod and crab. Stay Thirsty, My Friend: Despite the recent El Niño effect, California is still desert dry as we enter the fourth year of a severe drought.

From the kitchen of Herringbone, La Jolla; a rustic, hearty vegan chili that’ll warm the cockles of your heart. Serves 6. ■ Ingredients: 2 ounces tomato paste (high quality); 8 cups spring water; 4 cloves garlic, peeled, chopped; 1/2 pound yellow or white onion, chopped; 1/2 pound carrots, chopped; 1/2 pound celery, chopped; 1/4 pound white or yellow corn, kernels; 1/4 pound red or yellow bell pepper, chopped; 1/4 pound yam or sweet potato, chopped; 1/2 pound roasted green chile, peeled, chopped; 1/4 pound dry lentils (any color); 1 tablespoon cumin; 1 tablespoon coriander; 1 tablespoon paprika; 1 tablespoon cayenne; 1/2 cup red wine; 1/2 cup olive oil. Kosher salt and cracked black pepper to taste. ■ Method: Sweat vegetables together,
enliven your outdoor space with water-conserving, native plants and pesticide-free edibles. Start with a fragrant Mediterranean herb garden of basil, thyme, rosemary and Italian parsley, along with fruit trees and veggie gardens suitable for California climes (heirloom tomatoes, avocados, apricots, low-chill apples and figs). For apartment dwellers, plant a windowsill garden and dwarf Meyer lemons that thrive indoors. Be a Bag Lady (or Man): Environmentally friendly eco-totes are flying

Add water and simmer over low heat 30-45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add lentils at the end, and simmer until lentils are cooked through. Season with salt and pepper. —For other earthy recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com
off the shelves faster than you can say “paper or plastic?” In this country 88 billion plastic bags made of non-renewable petroleum are consumed yearly. Some of these troublemakers suffocate birds, choke sea critters and take a century to decompose. While paper bags produce heaps of solid waste, and require more energy to recycle than plastic. Invest in reusable cotton totes, some insulated and waterproof that also keep perishables from spoiling. And don’t be caught bagless in municipalities around town where plastic ones have been banned.

he San Diego Museum of Art is about to welcome two big exhibitions — the 35th annual “Art Alive” floral exhibition and “Brush & Ink: Chinese Paintings from The San Diego Museum of Art Selected by Pan Gongkai,” which features some 40 works from the museum's collection of more than 200 Chinese paintings. 1) “Art Alive” (April 29-May 1) is the museum's signature fundraiser that brings in floral designers who use natural elements to create stunning takes on the museum's paintings, sculpture and contemporary art, so fresh flowers (and scents!) fill the museum for three days of celebrations, festivals and workshops. Jim Lennox and Ben Lucero of Pacific Event Productions will transform the rotunda into a lush floral design and art experience reflective of the museum's Asian art collection, encompassing the creativity, emotion, and powerful energy embodied by the element of fire. 2) “Brush & Ink” (April 29-Sept. 4) was curated by acclaimed contemporary Chinese artist Gongkai, who selected the works based on his personal history, experiences and dedication to the medium of ink painting. The exhibit showcases the evolution of brush and ink painting from the 15th century to the present day, with works that include hand scrolls, hanging scrolls and fans. Ink painting has a centuries-long history in China that endured many cultural shifts, including a
