BY KAREN BILLING As grading continues on the mixed-use One Paseo project, work will begin soon on the project’s required improvements to Del Mar Heights Road. Kimberly Elliott, vice president of development and government affairs at Kilroy Realty who sits on the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board as an investor representative, provided an update to the board at its April 27 meeting. Over the next three months, Elliot said the community can expect to see work on Del Mar Heights Road as they add acceleration and deceleration lanes, as well as the new stoplight that will serve as one of the entrances into the project. The first part of the project to go vertical will be the retail parking structure, followed by the retail buildings, Elliott said.
The first shops in the retail component are scheduled to open in the fourth quarter of 2018 and One Paseo is shooting for a grand opening in October 2018. Elliott said some great tenants, mostly food offerings, have signed on so far although Kilroy can’t announce any of them yet. The residential element is expected to be completed in late 2019 with the first move-ins in early 2020. Elliott said that they have heard concerns about the amount of trees that were removed for the project along Del Mar Heights Road, but Elliott said that many trees will be replaced as part of the new parkway along the road. The project also includes several large “heritage trees” that will be planted throughout the center. To learn more or contact Kilroy, visit onepaseo.com
BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Where the turf meets the surf meets the spliff? The Del Mar Fairgrounds has inked a contract for its first-ever cannabis festival — and the largest by far ever in San Diego County. As many as 6,000 people are expected for the Sept. 23 event, which organizers are calling the Goodlife Festival. Attendance will be limited to age 21 and up. No sale, sampling or “gifting” of THC products will be allowed, but attendees will be able to bring their own marijuana to consume in designated areas. Goodlife will allow the sale of cannibidol and hemp, both of which lack THC’s psychoactive punch. The festival is the brainchild of Lawrence Bame of Westward Expos, which has put on home and garden shows at the fairgrounds for more than 30 years. He’s been percolating the idea for a cannabis festival for the past five years. Passage of Proposition 64 in November, which legalized recreational marijuana, was the turning point he needed to move forward with Goodlife. “It’s the new dawn,” Bame said. “This has been a long, long process. Nobody took this lightly.” Unlike Los Angeles, the Bay Area and other canna-friendly jurisdictions, cannabis gatherings in San Diego have been limited to events such as the San Diego Cannabis Farmers Market and LocalSesh —discretely promoted affairs in rented-out venues with a few hundred SEE FESTIVAL, A22

Tensions mount as Del Mar wrestles with short-term rentals BY SEBASTIAN MONTES The divide in Del Mar over short-term rentals grew even deeper on Monday night, May 1, as the city council ratified its decision from two weeks ago that homeowners are forbidden to rent
out their home for less than 30 days. That decision came over the entreaty of residents pleading the council to reconsider. Some called on Del Mar to take the same steps Solana Beach and Encinitas have
recently taken to allow short-term rentals (STRs). Others blasted the council for acting without significant data on the number of STRs and their impact. One resident called for a referendum, and several took objection with the

BY SEBASTIAN MONTES County officials are mired in a dispute over a construction error in the $31 million project to replace the four rail bridges that span the Los Penasquitos Lagoon between Del Mar and La Jolla. When contractors began work to replace the northernmost of the lagoon’s four wooden bridges last March, a section of the new concrete span settled as much as 10
inches the first time a train passed over it, according to the San Diego Association of Governments, which is running the project along with the North County Transit District (NCTD). The fix is ongoing. It involves injecting a concrete grout mixture around and under the bridge to permanently reinforce the foundation. The lagoon’s other three bridges SEE BRIDGE, A21

BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Solana Beach is moving forward on its art installation at the city’s fire station — but with an eye toward making sure the design isn’t too tall or brightly lit. A year after slating the spot for public art, the council on Wednesday, April 26, choose its favorite from three proposals, opening a 45-day public comment period during which time the artist and landscape architect will provide a better sense of the scope, scale and
placement. City officials have been eyeing the spot — at Lomas Santa Fe Drive’s intersection with Nardo Avenue — for an art installation since June 2013. Two months ago, the city’s Public Arts Committee picked three favorites from nine submissions. Councilmembers chose the design “Fire Wall” over the other two finalists by a 4-0 vote, but fretted that the design submitted don’t give a good enough sense of its visual impact.
“I don’t think what’s in here is enough for the public to get a good feel for what we would want there,” said Councilman David Zito. And if Councilwoman Judy Hegenauer had her druthers, she would have been choosing from designs that were simpler and more dramatic. “I don’t want to illicit a massive groan, but I would be in favor of starting over,” she said before abstaining from the vote.

BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Schools Education Foundation (DMSEF) has received tremendous support from parents and the local community as it continues to raise funds for the salaries of STEAM+ specialists in the Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD). STEAM+ is the district’s focus on the integration of science, technology, art, music and physical education enrichment across the curriculum. Having contributed $1.2 million to DMUSD last year, DMSEF was able to fund 40 percent of the STEAM+ specialists in the schools. Currently, the Foundation has raised just over $1 million and is looking for contributions to meet the current staffing requirements.
“We’re at the highest point ever in the history of the foundation,” DMSEF President Ty Humes said, noting they are $150,000 ahead of where they were last year. The Foundation is extending the fundraising campaign to May 31 to make sure they reach even higher participation levels from district families. Humes said DMSEF feels confident that the community will come together and make sure children receive the excellent education they deserve — the Foundation generally raises $200,000 to $300,000 during the month of May. The Foundation has enjoyed strong participation rates this year as five of the eight schools have over 65 percent of SEE FUNDRAISING, A21

Via de la Valle widening could begin next year BY KAREN BILLING The widening of Via de la Valle from two to four lanes is expected to begin construction in summer 2018. On April 27, the Carmel Valley Community Planning board approved an extension of time for the widening — the project 14 years in the making received its site development permit in 2015 and it expired this month. The project will result in a four-lane Via de la Valle from San Andres to El Camino Real to help serve a regional need. The existing two-lane road is built for a maximum of 10,000 average daily trips (ADTs), but the current volume is almost double that at 17,000 ADTs. The city is projecting 27,000 ADTs by 2030 and a four-lane road would have a capacity for 30,000. The hope is the widened Via de la Valle would carry that capacity to and from the I-5 freeway. Once the road meets El Camino Real, it goes back down to two lanes into Rancho Santa Fe. The widening and realignment of El Camino Real was last projected to begin construction in 2021. The planning board voted against the widening in a 9-2 vote in September 2013 due to concerns about the impact on Del Mar Horsepark users and businesses adjacent to the road. Due to the planning SEE WIDENING, A14
Whose land is it anyway?
Developers, city library face confusion over civic space in Pacific Highlands Ranch BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board is working to resolve a disconnect in Pacific Highlands Ranch between the Village’s approved plans for a green, open space corridor and the site of the future Pacific Highlands Ranch library. The developers of the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch on Carmel Valley Road and Village Center Loop Road were permitted to develop the 1.5 acres of city-owned land as a civic use, however, the library is operating under the assumption that the acreage is theirs to plan and develop. “The community wants that open space,
we supported the project for the open space and we don’t want to be told that we can’t have it,” said CV Planning Board Chair Frisco White at the April 27 board meeting. “We hope to have a positive resolution because we, as a community and the board, want the park and we want it now. We need a commitment from the city that our desires will be fulfilled.” The Village went through an “exhaustive” planning process with the planning board and the community, including debates about a grocery store and movie theater, going back to 2007. The Village design approved in 2013 was
built around a one-and-a-half-acre library site, essentially a square in the middle of the plans for a green vista parkway, connecting the Village’s town square with the future community center and park across the street. The grassy open space also includes plans for a dog park, trails, passive seating areas, an orchard and a community garden. An email campaign was launched last week by Pacific Highlands Ranch residents to the city staff, Mayor Kevin Faulconer and City Councilmember Barbara Bry requesting that the library does not delay the Village plans.

Carmel Valley board backs community choice energy BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board supported community choice energy as a way for San Diego to promote cleaner energy and competitive energy rates at its April 27 board meeting. The vote for community choice was 9-1 with board member Kimberly Elliott voting against it. In 2015, the planning board supported San Diego’s Climate Action Plan which calls for 100 percent clean and renewable energy and requires the city to reduce greenhouse gases by 50 percent by 2035. “One of the key programs that’s going to get us to that 100 percent is
community choice energy,” said Alicia Race, the community choice coordinator from the Climate Action Campaign, a nonprofit organization doing a lot of education and outreach to help the city reach its goals. The idea of community choice aggregation has spread throughout California — 63 cities and nine counties have moved forward with community choice, including, most recently, Los Angeles County. Race said there’s a lot San Diego can learn from the “early adopters” such as Marin County and Lancaster County, where residents have SEE ENERGY, A14 SDG&E power lines cross Torrey Hills.

Members of the Torrey Pines Gender & Sexualities Alliance with advisor Don Collins and Rainbow Week speakers Isaac Gomez, Relle Goan, and Kathie Moehlig from Trans Family Support and Rebekah Hook-Held from the San Diego LGBT Community Center.
Rainbow Week promotes understanding of LGBTQ issues The Rainbow Pride and Transgender Pride Flags flew in the Torrey Pines High School’s Learning Commons April 17-21 as part of the campus’ third annual Rainbow Week put on by the school’s Gender & Sexualities Alliance Club. Rainbow Week coincided with the student-led National Day of Silence on April 21 to bring attention to anti-LGBTQ bullying and harassment. Some students took a vow of silence for the day while others joined for a silent lunch on the quad in an effort to show support for the LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer) community by illustrating the silencing effect of bullying on LGBTQ students and those perceived to be LGBTQ. “Rainbow Week is one way students come together to share their experiences and have discussions to increase understanding, which can increase respect and safety if we are willing to consider another person's experiences and humanity,” said Don Collins, the advisor for the GSA. “The week is one way to help everyone see and understand that every student has a right to a safe, free public education. The district school board passed an important resolution in March that restates their policies for safe and inclusive schools and supports California state laws.” The TPHS Jazz Band performed at lunch on April 19 after an assembly attended by 800 students. Guest speakers Kathie Moehlig, Isaac Gomez and Relle Goan from Trans Family Support Services talked about the gender spectrum and their personal experiences. Rebekah J. Hook-Held of the San Diego LGBT Community Center talked about services provided by the center and presented information on anti-LGBTQ bills currently being debated around the country. Piril Nirgis, the Torrey Pines GSA vice president, read a letter written by a trans sophomore student currently attending Torrey Pines, who remained anonymous. The student wrote about how he only has one friend and on most days never talks to anyone but a teacher. “I’m what society would call ‘transgender’ when in reality I am only being true to myself.
I’m not confused, for me being trans is not about my gender, it’s about my identity. I identify as male and will for the rest of my life,” the student wrote. “Every day I worry about our country and specifically the LGBTQ community as a whole. There are groups of people who don’t understand which includes some who are not at all interested to consider LGBTQ experiences and struggles in order to understand. They’d even say some of us shouldn’t be able to go in the bathroom we think and know we belong in, when in reality, you haven’t noticed us in the first place. We are not different, we are as human as you are, and that includes me. A bathroom is just a bathroom and no one, including you, should be restricted to go just because someone thinks you're something that you aren't.” Collins said the student’s letter and the speakers’ stories were powerful and generated a lot of thought and discussion. “Rainbow Week is a good reminder of the kids on campus that we might not think about and it does a great job of letting them know they are included as part of our school,” reflected junior Ty Willden. “I think it’s important and it definitely has a place here.” “I think bringing a subject like this to campus just brings more criticism to it. In a certain way people in the LGBT crowd can be misunderstood, so in a way this event was important, but it can also add fuel to the fire,” said senior Curtis Broxterman. “I disagree with having programs like this or Black History Month in school because it creates division. Putting a label on yourself puts you up for criticism and scrutiny whether that’s being a jock or being gay.” Piril said in past years, the GSA saw the usual writing on posters and torn down decorations but this year they noticed more verbal insults being thrown around. He said the club understood the resistance as they know it will take time for society to adjust but they were a little taken aback by the amount of derogatory questions and attention. SEE LGBTQ, A12

Solana Pacific student shares goal to SLAM ALS BY KAREN BILLING Solana Pacific sixth grader Cole Spector visited neighboring Solana Highlands Elementary School on April 25 to spread his message about SLAM ALS, a national effort to slam the door on ALS forever. “Imagine not being able to walk, to speak, to move and to breathe when your brain still works the same,” Cole told the students. “That is what ALS does to you.” Finding a cure for ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), also known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a mission close to Cole’s heart as his aunt Marjie Block has been fighting the disease for eight years. The entire family has become committed to raising awareness and funds for ALS and Cole’s cousin, Madison Silver, created SLAM ALS to reach their goals through projects like the Ice Bucket Challenge. The Ice Bucket Challenge resulted in $115 million donated over an eight-week period in 2014. “Each and every day my Aunt Marjie battles this disease. She can’t even walk on her own and do things we can do easily,” Cole said. “My aunt has taught me the value of having a positive attitude and to never, ever give up.” The month of May is ALS Awareness Month and last year Cole presented a similar assembly to Solana Pacific Elementary School. His efforts were also featured on the national program “Chicken Soup for the Soul’s Hidden Heroes” on CBS.

Cole encouraged Solana Highlands and the community to be “SLAMbassadors” by getting creative and making their own videos and posting them with the hashtag #SlamALS and the website SlamALS.org. They can then challenge at least three friends to post their own videos. The campaign has had celebrity participants such as Vanilla Ice slamming a block of ice, tennis star Chris Evert slamming a tennis ball, Larry King

Launchbox’s Dan Negroni: Stop complaining, stay relevant BY SEBASTIAN MONTES It’s been three years since Dan Negroni traded in his life as a “CEO for hire” and started pouring his energies into his millennial-centric consulting firm Launchbox (launchbox365.com). And it’s been one year since that new life crystallized into his book “Chasing Relevance,” his take on how to get people over their generational hang-ups. We caught up with the 52-year-old Del Mar resident in Launchbox’s Sorrento Valley office last week and reflected on generational misconceptions and the future of the workplace as we know it. (Some answers have been edited for length.) Q: Complaints about millennials have been common fare for years now. Are the lessons being learned? A: I think the world is overbaked with the negative soundtrack for millennials. Everyone tells me “Oh millennials suck.” That’s not been my experience. I’ve meet 5,000 this year and 95 percent of them are amazing. The No. 1 thing they want is to learn and grow. And the next generation is coming up, Generation Z. Never before have there been five generations in the workforce, but you do now with the Gen Z. So I don’t think people can avoid it anymore. Q: You cite figures that millennials make up nearly 40 percent of the workforce. Why has it been so hard to assimilate such a large group? A: Let’s call Gen Z and millennials “digital natives.” That’s really what the distinction is. We’ve always complained about the generation beneath us — Socrates was complaining about Plato. What’s different now is they’ve grown up in a world where their every need has been served by digital. Tinder, Uber Eats, you can
order anything from Amazon and get it within a day. Everything is much easier. But then they get out of college and go into the workplace and everything is archaic and old and nothing’s easy. Here’s the challenge: the digital natives have no memory of what it used to be like. The people in power, they have a complete memory of what it used to be like, so they see the world as it was, which is not that relevant to the digital natives. So the disconnect is both sides. Young people need to get out of the me me me. They need to show up, be real and make it about others. Old people need to do the same thing. Stop complaining that you want it your way: that ship has sailed. Q: Sounds like the older millennials are growing up… A: They are our future, our employees, our customers and they’re even our bosses. So there’s this whole perspective that’s shifting. I mean, 37 is a grown-ass person right? You may be reporting to that person, they may be your boss and you may be my age, 52. So you better understand their perspective if you want to succeed in that workplace. Just as they should understand you, by the way. Both sides need to shift to making it about others, and stop whining and complaining. Q: This has implications that go far beyond the workplace… A: If we got out of our own way and started understanding millennials in the workplace, imagine the window they could give us to this next huge generation — 83 million strong — of consumers and buyers. That’s this huge thing that people don’t get; if I figure out how to treat my millennials right, there’s great insight into

how my new next-generation customer wants to be treated. Isn’t it about time we start paying attention to what they want? They’re bigger, they want to be more innovative, and soon they will be able to afford to move to places like Del Mar. Q: On that note, what impacts do you see millennials having locally? A: Clearly, the corridor of Del Mar Heights has a lot of millennial professionals — service providers, accountants, the big law firms, a lot
of high tech employers in that area, too. But local officials have a problem: they don’t want growth and they don’t want traffic, but millennials like urban areas. So therein lies the challenge for those towns. The other challenge is the cost: how does a millennial afford to live in Solana Beach or Del Mar or Rancho Santa Fe? What does that say about those areas: do they become less innovative, less hip, less cool? Yes is probably the answer. Q: What does the future have in store for Launchbox? A: Our dance card is getting really full. We’ve added coaches. We’re expanding our workshops. The next big project is a partnership for a huge summit here in San Diego for millennials. That’ll be in February, and it’ll be sponsored by one of the biggest companies in San Diego. We’re also launching a podcast next month and we’re working on a TV show for coaching. We’ve also figured out a way to create an app that is like a career/workplace coach, that creates self-engagement and encourages growth. Q: It’s been a year since your book came out. Has that lived up to your goals? A: The book was written for a bunch of reasons, mostly to get the messaging and the tools out there. It became No. 1 on Amazon in its category. To sell 6,000 copies within a year when you self-publish is pretty cool. But more important is the impact it’s had on people’s lives, where you get people coming up to you saying, ‘I tried what you said in this section and I did it and it worked,’ or ‘I understand how to be a better parent to these millennials.’ So I think it’s doing what it was supposed to do.

‘Danny Dog’ rescue tale shared at 60 school assemblies
BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley resident Sid Shapira and his book “Danny Dog” reached a milestone last week at Sage Canyon Elementary School, recording his 60th school visit for his children’s book that shares the message about pet rescue, adoption and second chances. At the April 25 assembly, Myrna Zambrano, district director for State Senator Toni Atkins, honored Shapira for his accomplishment. Each of his 60 school visits has featured a reading of his book and a visit from Danny, who happily receives a gentle pet from each student in attendance. Shapira was inspired to write “Danny Dog” after he and his wife Sheryl adopted fluffy gray Shih-Tzu Danny four years ago. In talking to the Emerald City Pet
Rescue organization that saved Danny and cared for him while he was homeless, Shapira learned more about what the dog went through and felt his story should be told. “He’s been such a wonderful addition to our family and brought us so much joy,” Shapira said. The book tells how Danny was found wandering lost in a parking lot by a grandmother and her two granddaughters. They contacted the rescue group and Danny, then called Jing Jing, spent many days in a cage. He was taken in by one family who had to return him due to their dog not getting along with Danny. The Shapiras fell in love with Danny the second they saw him and gave him his happy ending, his forever home. Shapira has now shared “Danny Dog” to schools all over San Diego,
from Chula Vista to Carlsbad, Point Loma to Santee. He has also traveled with Danny to Seattle and did a Skype reading with a school in South Carolina. A slideshow showed the audience how Danny enjoys playing with balls, chasing his two car sisters and receiving attention from neighborhood dogs and kids. When the slideshow flashed on several Sage Canyon students in Danny’s neighborhood, the kids cheered. Shapira hopes “Danny Dog” encourages people to support rescue organizations and to adopt homeless pets, but he also hopes it reminds readers of the power of believing in second chances. “Everyone deserves a second chance,” Shapira said.

Age is no barrier for local lady surfers BY JOE TASH Through the ups and downs of raising families, building careers and suffering from illnesses and injuries, Taffi Parrish and Linda Little have always come back to the ocean - and their love of surfing. Both women are now in their 50s, but they don’t plan to give up catching waves anytime soon. “It’s a forever sport,” said Parrish, 53, a resident of Del Mar. Little, also 53, who lives in Carmel Valley, said she might change boards or surf spots, “but I’m not going to stop surfing.” The two women are members of San Diego Surf Ladies, a group of women surfers of varied age and experience, who band together for camaraderie and to chase waves. Parrish and Little were featured in the March issue of Open Skies magazine, which is published by Emirates airline, in an article about older surfers. “It’s my passion, it brings peace,” said Parrish of surfing. “If you’re having a bad day you go out there and it wipes it all away for you.” Little agreed that surfing transports her to a tranquil place, removed from the cares of daily life. Out on the board, she said, “I can’t check email, I can’t fold laundry. It’s our own time.”
Dan Mori, founder and co-owner of Fulcrum Surf school, said roughly a third of his clients are over 50. “They’re totally able to do it,” he said between lessons at Del Mar’s Powerhouse Park, yards from the beach. Mori, who has coached Parrish, said that although surfing can be a challenging sport, “You have to get back on the horse and get back out there, just like life.” Both Parrish and Little surfed as teens growing up in Southern California, then took long hiatuses from the sport. Parrish moved to Georgia for 15 years, and Little said, “I didn’t have time with kids and a job, there was too much going on.” They rediscovered surfing several years ago, but it wasn’t all smooth sailing for either woman. Parrish suffered a concussion when her board struck her on the head four years ago, and she had to stop surfing for nine months after breaking her ankle. Little interrupted her own reunion with the sport to undergo treatment for breast cancer. During her chemotherapy treatment or before surgery, she said, her nurses and doctors would tell her, “think of your happy place. (For me) it was the ocean,” she said.
The sport allows her to spend quality time with her family, as her husband and younger daughter also surf. “We have a really good time surfing together,” she said. Parrish surfs most days with her son, a freshman at Torrey Pines High School. Both her son and Little’s daughter, a senior at Canyon Crest Academy, take surf P.E. classes at their schools. While the two women are regular fixtures at Del Mar’s beach, the sight of women surfers in their 50s is still a bit out of the ordinary. “People always seem surprised when we get up and ride waves,” Little said. The women try to observe surfing etiquette, whether it’s getting out of a fellow surfer’s way as he or she catches a wave, or helping an exhausted beginner paddle back to shore. “Just be kind and friendly out there,” said Parrish. But they also know their limits, and when the surf is too “gnarly” or the waves are too big, Little said she is content to drink coffee from shore and watch others take their chances. “It’s harder than it looks. It’s exhausting,” said Little. “The ocean is a force.” Visit sandiegosurfladies.com

Building circuits, the girls donated one to each of their schools, Fusion Academy and Pacific Trails Middle School garden club. They educated others on how to conserve water. The circuits’ electrical current travels through damp plaster, allowing the switch to turn on inside of the device, activating a red light, signaling for a over-watered plant.

SB resident Patty Maysent named ‘Cool Woman’ by Girl Scouts San Diego Solana Beach resident Patty Maysent, CEO of UC San Diego Health, was among Girl Scouts San Diego’s Cool Women of 2017. Maysent received her Cool Woman award during a recent luncheon and ceremony at Paradise Point Resort. “We are proud to honor Patty for her extraordinary leadership and community service,” Girl Scouts San Diego CEO Carol M. Dedrich said. “Her personal and professional life makes her a consummate role model for girls. She is a prime example of how Girl Scouting shapes leaders.” CBS News 8 anchor Marcella Lee, whose daughter is a Girl Scout, served as emcee for the 17th annual event. The co-chairs, prior Cool Women honorees Julia Brown and Judge M. Margaret McKeown, shared stories of how their Girl Scout experiences have influenced their lives. Brown is chair emerita and trustee of the UC San Diego Foundation Board and active on a number of other local boards, including Girl Scouts San Diego’s. McKeown is a federal judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit and an adjunct professor at the USD School of Law. During the program, each Cool Woman was introduced by a teen Girl Scout who had interviewed the honoree. Shreya Huilgol, who earned her Girl Scout Gold Award for creating a program in India that raises awareness about the need to screen children for hypertension, introduced Maysent. “I am thrilled to introduce the first female CEO of UC San Diego Health,” Shreya told the audience. “Patty constantly aims to improve patient care at UCSD. Last November, she successfully opened the Jacobs Medical Center on what she calls the best day of her life. Equipped with cutting-edge technology, the medical center houses three hospital specialties under one roof. Patty’s advice to girls? Keep moving forward, and stay focused on the things you love. Thank you, Patty, for serving as an inspiration to young women like me, who are interested in pursuing careers in healthcare,” she concluded.

She serves on the board and executive committee of the Boys and Girls Club of San Dieguito. Maysent holds a bachelor of arts degree in human biology from Stanford University, and a master’s in business administration and public health from the University of California, Los Angeles. A four-time all-American swimmer at Stanford, Maysent was captain when her team won the 1983 NCAA national championship title. She also earned a bronze medal in the Pan American games. She continues to advocate for healthy living and exercise. Upon receiving the Cool Woman award, Maysent encouraged Shreya and other Girl Scouts present to consider applying to her organization after completing their educations. “Women are having a huge impact in health care,” said Maysent, pointing out the women executives from UC San Diego Health who accompanied her to the event — including the chief financial officer, a leader in strategy, an attorney, the chief human resources officer and
the heads of cardiovascular center and the Moores Cancer Center. Girl Scouts San Diego’s Cool Women of 2017 also include: Mary Jean Anderson, president and owner, Anderson Plumbing, Heating & Air; Marcela Celorio, Consul General of Mexico in San Diego; Carol Rowell Council, co-founder, SDSU Department of Women’s Studies; Phyllis Epstein, community volunteer and philanthropist; Felena Hanson, founder, Hera Hub; Lorie Hearn, executive director and editor, inewsource; Brittney Reese, Olympic medalist; coach, San Diego Mesa College; Lynn Schenk, attorney and former U.S. Congresswoman; Wendy Urushima-Conn, president and CEO, Asian Business Association.

seen a 4.5 percent drop in their energy bills and the renewable energy content is higher. San Diego City Council is expected to consider taking action on community choice this fall. In February, the San Diego County Board of Supervisors voted not to go forward on a feasibility study on community choice aggregation, waiting instead to see how other jurisdictions fare. Currently Solana Beach is conducting a study on community choice and cities such as Del Mar and Encinitas are also considering it. Today, San Diego customers only have the one utility option of SDG&E. “SDG&E has two roles, they purchase our energy and deliver that energy to our homes. Unfortunately, the majority of that fuel that’s powering our lifestyles is still coming from dirty fuel sources and in San Diego we have the highest rates in California when it comes to our bills,” Race said. Race said just as people can now choose how they watch or stream TV or who provides their cellphone service, San Diego residents should also have a choice when it comes to their electricity. “We see community choice energy as a public and private partnership between the city and the utility. With community choice, the city would set up a nonprofit entity that would take over purchasing that power and because of the Climate Action Plan, they would be buying the fuel from renewable energy sources. SDG&E would continue delivering that power over their lines and their infrastructure which is where they make the majority of their money and that power would still go to your home,” Race said “It shifts our power from a for-profit to a nonprofit model, breaking up the monopoly and giving us control here locally and accountability to set our rates.” Customers would always have a choice to opt out as well. Race said right now millions of dollars are leaving San Diego to pay for electric generation elsewhere and, over time, a local community choice entity can start to build infrastructure here and purchase power locally. “Ninety percent of buildings in San Diego are solar viable so this could be an incentive to start harnessing that energy,” Race said, noting that would lead to an increase in local jobs and economic development. Environment California Research and Policy Center’s “Shining Cities” report recently ranked San Diego first in the nation in solar installation with 303 megawatts of installed solar capacity. Researchers said that San Diego currently has enough solar capacity to power the equivalent of nearly
approved in 2015. Greenhalgh said as the project went before the California Coastal Commission for its coastal development permit in December 2016, the commission was concerned about the impact of coastal sage on the north side of the road. As the Coastal Commission does not allow mitigation for coastal impacts, they did a slight shift 5 feet south for one section of the road to keep no impact to coastal sage. Greenhalgh said they will now begin the preliminary design stage with the plan to get construction documents permitted by spring 2018 and, after a public bid process, begin construction in summer 2018. 76,000 homes. One resident said it might be worthwhile for the utility to present its reasons for opposing or supporting community choice. Utilities are barred from using ratepayer dollars to lobby on programs like community choice, however, state law does allow investor-owned utilities to set up independent, shareholder-funded marketing districts. SDG&E’s parent company Sempra Energy has developed the marketing arm Sempra Services Corporation. At February’s supervisor meeting, Frank Urtasun of Sempra Services Corp recommended that the county refrain from adopting community choice as the best practice on renewable energy until all available alternatives are explored. He argued that community choice can discourage investments in renewable projects and that there’s no guarantee that it will result in more renewables and lower emissions. One resident shared concerns about the infrastructure costs now that there’s more solar than anyone thought there would be. “The cost of solar is coming down. When a developer builds a new community, he puts solar on each of the 100 homes. The homes pay zero to the utility, the utility has to put all the distribution in, has to put in all the backup power for night and cloudy days, and then has to buy a $10 million battery pack because the surge is so great. So then they’ve got a $30 million investment in these 100 homes and they’re paying zero,” the resident said. “It’s a broken model which is way beyond what she’s trying to solve and way beyond what your committee is trying to solve when it gets to electric generation, electric distribution, solar, who pays and who doesn’t pay.” The resident said he has solar and he doesn’t pay — he gets a credit. Board member Laura Copic argued that, for the most part, people who have solar are not paying zero, they have to pay to connect to the grid and store energy. Copic said she sees a lot of value in transitioning from a for-profit to a nonprofit. “Whenever there is an issue like a fire or nuclear plant issue, all of the costs associated with those things seems to fall to the burden of the ratepayers and never to the investors. It is the company’s job to maximize shareholder value, however, the shareholder does take on a risk and that never seems to be the case with SDG&E,” Copic said. “In that sense I would like to see a competitor.” Race said competition is the “American way,” people like having options. “We see this really as adding an option, something that’s popular and moving across the state, that will help us get to that 100

President of Friends of the Solana Beach Library honored by SD County Board of Supervisors San Diego County Supervisor Kristin Gaspar from District 3 was recently present at a special event to congratulate Vickie Brown-Driver, president of Friends of the Solana Beach Library, who was honored by the San Diego County Board of Supervisors for her dedication and volunteer work. “We live in the most beautiful place on earth but it’s actually the people who make San Diego so special and our volunteers play a large role in this,” Gaspar said. Brown-Driver is one of those volunteers and she was nominated and selected for her outstanding work at the Solana Beach Library. She has developed a bookstore sales strategy to keep the inventory moving and capitalize on unique collections of books. Also, she has implemented an online sale program of books that has increased the profits in the Friends Bookstore. Under her leadership last year, bookstore sales increased by 20 percent. Friends of the Solana Beach Library donate $10,000, which is matched by the county, for a total of $20,000 to help purchase library materials each year. They also provide much of the programming funds, which include Chair Yoga, Teen Yoga, Zumba, Tiny Tots Yoga, Musical Story time and much of the Summer Reading Program. Additionally, Brown-Driver has been very involved with the negotiations between San Diego County and San Diequito Union High School District to expand and renovate the Solana Beach Library and the Friends Bookstore. When the expanded bookstore reopens and the renovations are completed within the current library, everyone will have an even greater appreciation for the gift of time and energy which Brown-Driver has

BY KAREN BILLING Canyon Crest Academy boys tennis team celebrated its graduating seniors Roman Shenkiryk and Nathan Parikh at a senior send-off event on April 26 before the team’s final match of the regular season. The senior send-off is a new tennis tradition at CCA that was introduced by the girls squad a couple years ago. “We had a great season, probably the strongest record I’ve been associated with,” said Coach Larry Belinsky of the very young team’s 12 wins and three losses this year. Post-season CIF match-ups were determined over the weekend. The talented team will only be losing two seniors this year, including Nathan, who Belinsky said earned his spot on the varsity squad through hard work and determination. “Nathan is the epitome of what we look for in a student athlete here at CCA,” Belinsky said. “Not only has he been an outstanding student but he has also proven his worth as a great teammate and true ambassador for the culture we promote.” Belinsky complimented Nathan’s extraordinary leadership, enthusiasm and loyal dedication — traits he will carry with him as he attends Duke University in the fall. Roman, who made the varsity team as a freshman, served as team captain this year. “When I first laid eyes on Roman as a freshman in 2014, I knew I was looking at someone very special. Little did I know or realize then that before me was a young

He made his school, coaches, teammates, family and himself very proud.” Roman will attend UC San Diego in the fall. Athletic Director Brian Baum said that aside from all of Roman’s and Nathan’s tennis accomplishments, what the administration is most proud of is that they were great individuals and great leaders both at school and on the court.

Community meetings to discuss 16-acre Del Mar parcel set for May 6, 13 The Robert Green Company and Zephyr will hold community events about the parcel of land overlooking North Beach in Del Mar at the corner of Camino Del Mar and Border Avenue on two consecutive Saturdays, May 6 and May 13, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. Residents and community members are invited to attend any time between those hours to visit one-on-one with developers, architects, planning experts and others to learn about the project and provide ideas and input. The 16-acre stretch of oceanfront land that sits on the bluffs above North Beach (also known as Dog Beach) has been shut off from the public for the last 100 years. Currently, there are seven parcels on the site owned by
three separate local families. “We’re determined to create something that fits into the landscape and scale of the community and is characteristic of Del Mar,” said Brad Termini, CEO of Zephyr. “As we start the beginning of this process, our intent is to create something that Del Mar and Solana Beach residents will think of as their own seaside gathering spot – a cornerstone of the community where we can come to celebrate special events, entertain and enjoy, with no barriers, for the first time.” While there is an alternate proposal on the table for five gated mega-mansions, which would continue to keep the property inaccessible to the public, The Robert Green
Reins of Change to hold parenting workshop on May 10 in RSF Reins of Change is offering a unique parenting workshop on Wednesday, May 10 from 11 a.m.-3 p.m. in Rancho Santa Fe. The workshop is an equine interactive learning experience facilitated by Master Equus Coach Renee Sievert. Horses are like in children in the way that they are sensitive and they look to adults for leadership and focused attention. They can teach us the importance of interacting in certain ways to create positive experiences. The workshop will teach parents to respond to children with increased empathy, clearer understanding and solid communication skills. Reins of Change is an equine-assisted learning and development center in Rancho Santa Fe. Reins of Change offers the opportunity to experience the benefits of healing and learning through horses in a beautiful private estate setting. Call now to reserve your space at 858-367-3762 or sign up on line at www.thereinsofchange.com.
Company and Zephyr, coastal North County-based real estate developers, with deep experience in resorts and residential development respectively, want to redevelop the site to make it more usable and accessible to the community. The group’s initial proposal is for a resort, branded resort villas, restaurants and meeting space, along with a public access park and walking trails. The Robert Green Company and Zephyr principals, Robert Green and Brad Termini, will be available during the event to hear ideas, and talk about the community impacts and public amenities under consideration – including walking trails, a park, improved access to North Beach and public parking. Exhibits
showcasing different architectural styles that might fit into the community will be on display for feedback. The site address is 929 Border Avenue in Del Mar. Onsite parking will be provided for the event. Attendees are encouraged to wear appropriate footwear and look for event parking signs and monitors. Residents who cannot attend one of the two community meetings are invited to share their comments by emailing feedback@thedelmarresort.com.

RSF Democratic Club meeting to be held May 11 Barbara Bry, Chris Ward, Mara Elliott and Dave Roberts to attend
Come meet and question recently elected San Diego Councilmembers Barbara Bry and Chris Ward and City Attorney Mara Elliott, Thursday May 11 at 6:30 p.m. Also, former Supervisor Dave Roberts will be honored for his public service. Barbara Bry represents the First District, which includes Carmel Valley, Del Mar Heights, UCSD and La Jolla. She ran so far ahead of her Republican opponent in the June primary that he resigned, suspending his campaign. Chris Ward, a dynamic young Democrat, was formerly chief of staff for Senator Marty Block. He won election in the primary, representing the Third District,
Hillcrest and thereabouts. He replaced new Assemblyman Todd Gloria. Mara Elliott won a contested primary against three well-qualified Democratic opponents and then handily defeated her Republican finalist. One 2016 survey found Mara to be San Diego County’s most progressive candidate or elected official. Former Supervisor Dave Roberts, who is relocating to Connecticut from whence he came, will be honored for his good work as county supervisor and on the Solana Beach City Council. The RSF Democratic Club is asking all featured speakers in 2017 to include comments on what Democrats should do in response to the Trump presidency.
The RSF Democratic Club meets second Thursdays at 6:30 p.m. at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club, 1505 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, in Solana Beach. The program begins at 7 p.m. and ends at 8:30 p.m., with socializing before and after. Friendly atmosphere. Meet candidates and elected officials. Great hors d’oeuvres. Beer and wine available.

Bill on later school start times advances; Islamophobia and getting rid of hate
S
an Dieguito Union High School District trustee John Salazar has asked SDUHSD superintendent Eric Dill and board president Amy Herman to place on the May 11 board agenda the proposed state bill that would require all public middle and high schools to start school no earlier than 8:30 a.m. “Let’s show some leadership and support this bill,” Salazar wrote to Dill and Herman in an email. “It is good for the kids, and will bring in more revenue too.” The bill – SB 328 – has gained approval by the Senate Education Committee and is moving through the legislature, despite opposition from the California Teachers Association. Bill author Democratic Sen. Anthony Portantino said sound research from the American Academy of Pediatrics and the Centers for Disease Control indicates overwhelmingly that later start times are healthier for teenage students whose sleep patterns in adolescence make early rising difficult. Studies conducted over the last two decades have shown conclusively that later start times promote student health and well-being, raise academic achievement and improve attendance. Reduced absenteeism means more revenue for school districts, most of which are funded based on the average daily attendance of students. It’s not just adolescents who would benefit from later start times. A recent study published in “Frontiers in Human Neuroscience” cites more data showing that “early education start times for students in the 14–24 age range are linked to
chronic, irrecoverable sleep loss of more than two hours each day.” Based on this extended age range, the authors posit that college classes starting earlier than 9 a.m. are as equally detrimental to college students as they are for high schoolers. The NPR article on this is titled “Down With 8 A.M. Classes: Undergrads Learn Better Later In The Day, Study Finds.” School districts have been presented with irrefutable evidence for decades, but few have taken any action. At last, someone in the California legislature is forcing their hand. Some history Back in 2002 and 2003, former Torrey Pines High School parent and community activist Wayne Dunlap worked tirelessly to get SDUHSD to change the start time at TPHS from the ungodly hour of 7:15 a.m. to the barely reasonable 8:15 a.m. The only trustee back then who is still serving on the SDUHSD board is Joyce Dalessandro, who was first elected in 1996. Dunlap lost his battle, even after gathering hundreds of signatures and armed with studies and more studies to show that later start times are better for students. Emails Dunlap wrote to me at the time reveal the depth of his insight into the insurmountable problems he faced. “School boards are not usually pro-active,” he wrote. “They come together once a month to discuss an agenda that is pretty much set by school officials, not the board. Then they go home. Rarely do any of the board members push their own ideas. “Also, school boards are the most status quo organizations in our society … They are easily
OUR READERS WRITE ‘A Breath of New Life’ to the Del Mar Plaza Congratulations to Patricia and Marc Brutten for their wish to enliven our city center “The Plaza.” Many times my husband and I would go on a Sunday afternoon to sit and enjoy the beauty of “The Plaza,” hopefully meet a neighbor or two and share a greeting. Very few neighbors could be found enjoying the day. It was very sad to experience the emptiness of what could have been the nerve center of Del Mar. Now with the vision and developer skills of this energetic couple we might see this vision come to fruition. Good luck with this project. We are with you. Arline and David Paa Del Mar
www.delmartimes.net swayed by status quo arguments … Hence, not much is changed and our schools remain doing things the same without much question. “So, if you want something done, you have to mount a strong, consistent, well-organized, intelligent campaign to get something on the board agenda and then passed. The community must initiate change because the school system will not.” Dunlap and supporters asked for one hour – they got 30 minutes. This was called a compromise by the board and a huge disappointment by the petitioners. Amy Herman said she would be willing to discuss the issue at the next board meeting but was not comfortable voting on it yet, even though any vote on whether to support the bill would be purely symbolic. She said she’d like to hear more from parents on how later start times would impact them. San Dieguito supt. Dill said the item will be placed on the May 11 agenda for discussion only, no vote. No-hate zones In an unrelated subject, San Diego Unified School District’s controversial new anti-bullying campaign designed to help protect Muslim students has received nationwide attention. In developing the initiative, SDUSD was aided by the Council for American-Islamic Relations, the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization. Under the plan, SD Unified may include social studies lessons on Islam, list Islamic holidays on the school calendar, and create “safe spaces” for Muslim students at schools. Critics have said it favors Muslim students over other cultures and religions, and still others say it violates the separation of church and state. The district denies that it’s giving Muslim students special attention. Though this is a noble effort, there are students of other religions that may need protection as well. For example, according to the Anti-Defamation League, anti-Semitic incidents nationwide
at non-Jewish elementary, middle and high schools increased 106 percent last year, from 114 in 2015 to 235 in 2016. This increase accelerated in the first three months of 2017, when 95 incidents were reported. “These incidents need to be seen in the context of a general resurgence of white supremacist activity in the United States,” said Oren Segal, director of the ADL Center on Extremism. Locally, the ADL recorded a 33 percent increase in anti-Semitic incidents in San Diego County in 2016 over 2015. And in the first three months of 2017 the ADL said there was a four-fold increase over the same time period in 2016. In a news release, Tammy Gillies, ADL’s Regional Director in San Diego, expressed her concern for this upward trend in anti-Semitism, stating, “Not only have we seen a dramatic increase in anti-Semitic incidents directed at the San Diego Jewish community, but perhaps most concerning of all is the dramatic increase of these incidents in schools.” “Schools are a microcosm of the country,” said ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt. “Children absorb messages from their parents and the media, and bring them into their schools and playgrounds. We are very concerned the next generation is internalizing messages of intolerance and bigotry.” The 2016 presidential election and the heightened political atmosphere played a role in the increase, according to the ADL. Yes, there’s appalling bullying of Muslim students based on religion, but Muslims aren’t the only ones targeted. I would bet there are few adults who did not experience some kind of bullying or torment from peers in their school days – for being too tall, too short, too stocky, too thin, too disabled, too dark, too pale, too gay, too geeky, too Greek, too Italian, too Asian, too Hispanic, too African-American, too Irish, too Christian, too rich, too poor, too ... different.

The ADL’s “No Place for Hate” incorporates ways to counter bigotry in all forms, including sexual orientation as well as prejudice based on religion, race and gender. The goal of “No Place for Hate” is “to inspire a national movement led by students and educators who are committed to using the power of positive peer influence to build inclusive and safe schools in which all students can thrive,” according to the San Diego ADL website. “No Place for Hate,” the site states, “is an organizing framework for K-12 schools committed to creating sustainable change that leads to
FROM BRIDGE, A2 did not experience any settling, but SANDAG ordered their retrofit “in an abundance of caution,” said SANDAG spokeswoman Helen Gao. More than 70 commuter and freight trains run the corridor every day, making it the country’s second-busiest passenger line and San Diego’s only viable freight connection. The bridge has remained open, with the repairs coming during weekend closures over the past year. All four bridges have since been inspected by NCTD, as well as state and federal agencies. The project remains on course for its fall 2017 completion, but the error is expected to cost between $10 million and $15 million. SANDAG and NCTD paid for the repair work last year rather than bog down the entire project and risk running afoul of state regulations, according to SANDAG Executive Director Gary Gallegos. “The good news is that the fix is working,” Gallegos told the Del Mar City Council last month. “Now, as

improved school climate.” The program utilizes anti-bias and anti-bullying resources “to form one powerful message that all students have a place to belong.” “No Place for Hate” is just one example of an inclusive K-12 educational program that addresses how to battle all kinds of discrimination. There are more. Educating children against Islamophobia is essential, but so is education against other forms of bigotry. All children at schools and colleges have the right to study and learn in environments that are non-threatening and free from bullying. Entire schools should be safe spaces.

Our primary focus right now is completing the project safely and to the benefit of SANDAG, NCTD and the communities they serve,” a Skanska spokesman said. SANDAG has hired an outside expert to determine who is at fault. That report is expected this summer. It is the largest bridge construction error SANDAG has had, Gao said. “We do a ton of work. You try to avoid these kind of situations, but it’s also part of doing major infrastructure projects,” said Del Mar Mayor Terry Sinnott, who is vice chairman of the SANDAG board. Sinnott does not expect taxpayers to shoulder the costs. “That’s what insurance is for,” he said.
FROM PACIFIC HIGHLANDS, A4 “That park is how many of our kids will walk and bike to Pacific Trails Middle School and Canyon Crest Academy,” read a letter written by Manjeet Ranu, a Pacific Highlands Ranch resident and former vice chair of the planning board. “The developer is ready to build it for us and have it open in 2018. But the city’s library staff is unlawfully and inappropriately obstructing its completion.” San Diego Public Library Director Misty Jones explained that when the library came into the project in 2015, they were told they had two lots for the library, a total of three acres. The city purchased the land after the Village design had already been permitted with the development of one of those two lots. The library thought they would be building a 1.5-acre facility plus a 1.5-acre civic use site surrounding the new library. “We did not realize that there had been an approved plan for a civic site already voted on and approved by the community,” Jones said. “As soon as we realized that the
FROM ART, A2 Mayor Mike Nichols, in pushing toward a selection, acknowledged that the city can go back to the drawing board if the design sparks an uproar. “This is a process. One of the harder things we do up here is public art, because everybody’s got an opinion about it,” he said. “The only way you can really tell is show it to them.” As proposed, the design centers around a wall of fused glass 10 feet tall, six feet wide and a foot thick, wrapped in a wire cage and surrounded by succulents and perennials shaped into “flames” meant to evoke a fire dancing around the wall. LED lights inside the wall would give it a soft glow. “What’s really interesting about the fused glass is that it’s all made by fire,” Del Mar-based artist Betsy K. Schulz told the council. “So there’s a relationship there, with the concept of how the art is created and the idea of what the firemen do.” Schulz and her partner in the project — Van Dyke Landscape Architects from Solana Beach — assured the council that they

Part of that flexibility includes a small amphitheater that would be used to give demonstrations that the station’s firefighters give to the hundreds of children who go to school within walking distance. The amphitheater would cost $27,000 beyond the $70,000 the city has earmarked for the project. The city has slightly more than $140,000 in its reserve for public arts projects. Schulz and VDLA have extensive project histories for the city. In 2003, Schulz created

One of the district’s largest schools, Sage Canyon, has topped $200,000 in contributions this year. Humes said they have also seen large growth in the foundation’s corporate donor program, which he started three years ago. So far the program has raised four times more than it did last year. “The foundation has been successful this year
community had very legitimate concerns about moving forward with this and did not want to wait for the design we reached out to come to this meeting because we wanted to work together.” “It was never our intention to obstruct anything,” Jones said, noting they will meet with the developer to work on a plan that works for everyone. “We’re committed to what the community wants to do with that space. Ultimately our goal is to provide the best library for this community.” While the developers Coast Income Properties and Wermers Properties were seeking a commitment that their plans would be allowed to proceed as approved, Elif Cetin, the city’s assistant deputy director of public works, said they could not make that commitment yet. “We cannot completely ignore the opportunity to use the 1.5-acre lot because we have requirements we need to meet for parking or storm water treatment,” Cetin said, noting there is also the issue of who will maintain the civic use landscaping. “It may not be accurate to promise that we can fit the library on 1.5 acres.”

by getting out and talking and making the message personal; connecting with people and encouraging them to invest in their children’s education,” Humes said. “We have a unique opportunity to have a say in the curriculum. In a public school system that’s very rare.” The DMSEF celebrated the success of the fundraising year so far with the Snooze Soiree on April 26, hosted by community partners Snooze, an A.M. Eatery and the NFL Alumni Association, San Diego Chapter. The drop-in celebration featured musical performances and artwork by students from all eight schools.

White stressed that he doesn’t want the civic land to be used for parking when there will be ample shared parking on site at the Village and as the intent of Pacific Highlands Ranch is to be a walkable community. Jones said it is the hope that library and city staff can meet with the developers and come up with a plan within the next 30 to 40 days. There is a timeline the planning board would like to stick to as the Pacific Highlands Ranch community park and recreation center is expected to break ground soon, aiming for a potential September 2018 opening — they would like those civic uses to be linked. Board members expressed confusion on how this situation occurred. As construction progresses on the 331 residential units in the Village, Pacific Highlands Ranch representative Shreya Sasaki said the community doesn’t want to be looking at a dirt lot, and they want children and families to have the safe route to school and open space amenity they were promised. “We want it to continue to move forward. We’ve already gone through the whole planning process so I don’t want this to get
held up in he said/she said. We want to continue to work together on the actual library itself,” Sasaki said. “I think that we all as a community get disappointed in large bureaucracy. I don’t understand how a city department doesn’t know what another city department has done…It’s a little disappointing because we’ve spent so much time on this.” The city is hoping to begin the design process on the library this fall once a consultant agreement is approved, involving workshops to gather public input on what the community envisions for the new facility. The library expects to receive full funding by 2019, work on design for a year and a half, go out to bid for construction and open in 2021. “We are committed to providing the community with what they want,” Jones said. “However we come to an agreement to do that, we will.” “We hope you will continue to have an open mind and enthusiasm to help us design this library,” Cetin said. “We are excited to build this project after this issue settles and resolves.”

are rented out. “The process and outcome of this has always been, in my opinion, a foregone conclusion,” said resident Don Instone. “It is a ban, come on. Call it what you want, but you are shutting down short-term rentals throughout the city.” And, more than at any of the council’s recent hearings on the issue, the specter of litigation hung over the evening’s discussion. “To pit neighbor against neighbor in a lawsuit is not the Del Mar that I know and love,” said Abby Margalith, who has rented out her home during racing season since 1996 to help put her daughter through college. She asked the city to grandfather in existing STRs, then narrow the pool over time by issuing permits that are not transferable after the home is sold. “If there were any issue ripe for a compromise and a better way, without litigation, then this is it,” she said. Laura DeMarco, a vocal STR proponent, said she and her like-minded neighbors will seek recourse in California Coastal Commission guidelines. “The great thing about the courts is that they protect us from the whims of the powerful who ignore the rights of due process,” she said. “The rights of due process require that you pass an ordinance. You do not create new law by simply waving a wand.” As the council moved to ratify the resolution, Mayor Terry Sinnott interjected. He cast the sole dissenting vote two weeks ago. On Monday night, he asked the resolution be changed to specify that it was only a majority of the council, not the full council. “This resolution is wrong. It is wrong,” he said. “First of all, I don’t think we have any data to make an interpretation of what’s happening — the magnitude, location, seasonal patterns and specific impacts on neighborhoods’ fabric, we don’t really know.” He went on to explain his difficulty in embracing the notion that rentals less than 30 days have been deemed a commercial use while anything longer is considered a valid residential use. He also worried that the California Coastal Commission will step in. The commission in December cautioned jurisdictions across the state that outright bans in coastal zones are not legally defensible. A round of applause went up. Councilman Dwight Worden cut in, citing a 100-resident petition imploring the council to move forward with the rental crackdown. “I wish all of you could sit up here and experience how difficult this is. This community really is divided,” he said. “If you think we don’t feel compassion, you’re not reading us right. We’re struggling to try to do the best we can.” The council passed the resolution 4-1, with Sinnott opposed. They then went into a staff report that categorized short-term rentals into six different types. City staff wanted the council to give their preferences on each type — which kinds might be allowed in certain places, which kinds definitely ought not to be. Several residents — part of the group that petitioned the city for restrictions — came to the podium to explain their position on each of the six rental types. While they expressed an openness to a limited number of “home exchanges” — in which two families swap homes — they drew a hard line on the kind of rental seen through AirBnB and property management companies. “This is purely commercial use,” said resident David Doyle. “The use of whole homes as short-term rentals for extended periods of time … would spell the end of Del Mar’s special residential character.” The group is asking the council to require STRs to stop operating by the end of the year, with those homeowners signing an agreement not to sue the city. As the clock crawled past 11 p.m., the council had settled only on asking staff to come up with ways to allow rentals for between 14 and 29 days. They then rescheduled the discussion to pick back up after their budget workshop on Saturday morning.
attendees. (A cannabis trade expo at the San Diego Convention Center in August did not allow marijuana on site.) But with the visibility that comes with as high profile a venue as the Del Mar Fairgrounds, San Diego’s cannabis activists are hailing Goodlife as their movement’s coming-out party. “This will be the biggest show at the most prestigious location in all of San Diego County,” one organizer said. “It’s our time to shine. If you look everywhere else, they have their cannabis festivals. But what’s going on in San Diego? Not much. This is the next step up for San Diego. Definitely a watershed moment. After this it’s going to be so mainstream it’s not even funny.” Cities across North County have clamped down on cannabis as much as state law allows, uniformly barring dispensaries and grow operations. But because the fairgrounds is state-owned, city and county officials are powerless to resist. So for one day, at least, Del Mar will be an oasis of pot-tolerance. Cannabis events have sparked controversy in even the pot-friendliest of places. In Denver, Seattle, San Jose and Los Angeles, local officials and venue owners have shunned the gatherings, forcing organizers to look farther and farther afield. The purge in Los Angeles last year fanned promoters out into the dusty hinterlands in search of somewhere to put down stakes. One of those refuges has been the San Bernardino County fairgrounds. Until last spring, the 87-acre facility had never hosted a cannabis event, and their arrival whipped the surrounding towns — known as the High Desert — into a fever pitch. Tempers there flared in the run-up to the fairgrounds’ second cannabis event, the three-day Chalice California festival in July, which billed itself as “the biggest hash festival in America.” The Victorville City Council called on fairground managers to cancel Chalice and bar any other cannabis
event. The fair board responded by adding more events to the calendar. One of the board members resigned her seat in protest. The 22nd District Agricultural Association Board of Directors, which runs the Del Mar Fairgrounds, does not appear to have been aware that the deal had been inked for the Goodlife Festival. Board president Russ Penniman was unavailable for comment on Monday afternoon. Board member Frederick Schenk said the board does not hear about events this far in advance. “I’m not educated enough on the issue to have a position,” he said. “Between now and September, I’m sure that the board will become much more aware.” When asked about the festival Monday night, May 1, the Del Mar City Council was caught unaware. Councilman Dwight Worden said he wants to “look into it a little bit.” “What they’re doing is now legal; they have a right to be there,” he said, before acknowledging that the council’s influence over the fairgrounds is “limited at best.”
The Del Mar version will be far smaller than cannabis festivals held at other state fairgrounds. Whereas more than 100,000 people took over most of the San Bernardino fairgrounds for the Chalice festival, the Goodlife Festival will be limited to the paddock area. Tim Fennell, CEO and general manager of the 22nd District Agricultural Association Board of Directors, said any concerns he may have had were put to rest after talking with his counterparts elsewhere in the state. “The voters voted, it’s legal and we’re a public entity,” Fennell said. “It’d be hard to deny somebody like Lawrence access to a public facility. Other DAA’s have been doing it for years legally. How would I deny this?” Bame is partnering with an array of local cannabis promoters and entrepreneurs to plan Goodlife’s schedule of exhibits, entertainment and seminars. Doctors will be on site to speak in panels and to give evaluations for medical marijuana cards. A large part of Goodlife’s rationale, Bame said, is to reach a wider — and older
— demographic that is proving to be the fastest-growing group of cannabis users. “We want to make sure we’re not just hitting the typical stoners,” said one of his partner organizers, who declined to be identified. “There’s those old folks in Del Mar who are going to see this and will want to come down to check it out, to learn what we’re all about, so we’re going to mainly go after them. Our focus is not going to be the typical festivals like High Times or Chalice. This is going to be a cool little hybrid with music and educational components.” And already, Bame is prepared for the inevitable backlash. “If this gives people anxiety, maybe they should consider medicating with cannabis,” he said. “The reality is that cannabis is legal in the state of California, end of subject. There’s rules and regulations and whatnot, and we intend to follow all of them. If people have political or other objections, they can have those objections. But I think that train already left the station.”

Del Mar Q1 2017
e are excited to share with you our 2017 First Quarter Recap of the Del Mar residential real estate market.
29
Most noteworthy this quarter was the 35% decrease in homes sold (Q1 2017-29) compared to the first quarter last year (Q1 2016-39), likely the result of a combination of factors as buyers assessed the impact of the new administration’s policies on the market. Freddie Mac noted that rates are up approximately .5% on 30 year fixed mortgages compared to last year at this time. Relative to the firstquarter last year and continuing the existing trend, cash offersare down by over 35%. Purchases with financingaccounted for 72% of the transactions this quarter, more than double the 33% of purchases financed in the first quarter of last year. January through March of this year, our team held 76 open houses and noted that buyers are expressing more urgency to purchase before additional rate increases that would directly impact their buying power.

Accomplished clarinetist to For Canyon Crest’s orchestra and choir, perform at Carmel Valley a trip to Italy caps an eventful year Library Family Concert Series BY ROB LEDONNE
La Jolla Cultural Partners
May’s free family music program sponsored by the Friends of the Carmel Valley Library will be held on Wednesday, May 10, at 7 p.m. in the library’s community room. The program will last 45 minutes.

It was an expedition that took 10 months of planning, with complicated logistics and an extensive itinerary, but in the end it was all worth it for the 70 students at Canyon Crest Academy’s Envision music classes who, in mid-April, experienced the sights and sounds of Italy. “Everyone did a fantastic job of representing our school and community in the best possible way,” said Amy Villanova, the coordinator of the school’s Instrumental Music Program who is no doubt still getting over jetlag. “We had a great experience, and I think the students really enjoyed exploring together.” The trip, spearheaded by Villanova along with Envision Vocal Music Coordinator Anne Whattoff, was meant to show the students Italy’s rich musical heritage. The group gallivanted around the country and took in the likes of the Vatican, ancient Roman ruins, and museums galore. Of course the students performed as well, appearing at a show in Venice that served as a fundraiser for Amnesty International that Villanova notes “a few local dignitaries attended.” In addition, there were also programs in both Rome and Mirano. “They included both the choir and orchestra, along with a few vocal soloists. Our programs were mostly classical, with an

They were well received and we had great attendance.” This trip was funded primarily through donations and corporate matching. Notes Villanova, “We performed several concert fundraisers, and we sold quite a bit of See’s Candies to cover our scholarship students’ costs.” The experience, however, was an invaluable one. “Italy is a very important place for the development of western classical music, and it was important for us to be able to show our students so much of our rich musical

heritage.” Perhaps most importantly, however, “There was much gelato eating along the way!” While the trip to Italy was arguably the crown jewel of CCA music department’s year, the trek was just one component of a busy schedule that’s lately been emphasizing international events and endeavours. “We are working in collaboration with a jazz/folklorico group from Cuba to present a full symphonic performance of traditional Cuban music,” notes Villanova of one such other highlight. Whattoff also recently traveled with a SEE CHOIR, B22

The Office star Creed Bratton headed to Belly Up for night of music and comedy BY ROB LEDONNE There aren’t many people in entertainment who can say they’ve been a part of a smash television show as well as a hit band. As one of the stars of NBC’s hit comedy series The Office and a former member of the ’60s rock group The Grass Roots, Creed Bratton is one of the few who has that distinction. “From a philosophy point of view, you could say that everyone has their own destiny,” notes Bratton from his Los Angeles-area home. “If something changed or things were different, would I be where I am with these two successes under my belt?” One of the most popular comedies in television history, The Office, which starred Steve Carell as the bumbling Michael Scott and focused on a hapless group of workers for fictional paper company Dunder Mifflin, aired on NBC from 2005 to 2013. Along the way it was a ratings and critical hit, netting multiple Emmy awards. The half-hour sitcom also catapulted a then-unknown group of actors into cult heroes, including Bratton who played an eponymous colleague who was equal parts strange and mysterious. “Everyone took their characters seriously,” said Bratton of the
reason for the show’s hit status, which even inspired an Office convention in Scranton, Penn. “What we’d hear all the time is that it was real. I think that’s why we had such an audience. We didn’t have a laugh track and allowed for long awkward moments and emotion. When you see something like that, you’re like ‘Wow, this is refreshing.’” Over the show’s nine seasons, Bratton had a hand in some of the show’s most memorable moments. “I felt like the weird elder statesmen, and it was quite the part. I’m not that weird in real life, unfortunately for the fans,” Bratton laughs. “That's just the character. Otherwise I’d be in jail, or the character would be!” Bratton says one moment stands out in particular. “I shot a six-and-a-half-page scene with Steve Carell during season two’s Halloween episode, when his character tries to fire me and I turn it around to have someone else fired,” he remembers. “The day after it aired, I see (costars) Rainn Wilson and John Krasinski walking toward me. They gave me a big bear hug and whispered in my ear, ‘You knocked it out of the park buddy! You killed it!’ I had to walk away because I was going to start crying. It meant so much to me
because I respect these guys.” When it came to the show’s final season, Bratton notes, “There were a lot of tears and hugging. I worked on many, many shows where the people do not like each other. We genuinely like each other, we all get together. We even get together and play, we used to jam in my trailer.” Little known to fans of the show, how Bratton wound up on The Office was the result of a foray into music where he achieved success with The Grass Roots. The ’60s rockers, who topped the charts with hits ranging from “Let’s Live For Today” to “Midnight Confessions,” featured Bratton as their vocalist and guitarist. Incredibly, in despite of their immense success, members of the band were never paid for record sales thanks to a bad contract, leaving the members, including Bratton, destitute. “I’m amazed I was able to survive considering there was nothing coming in,” he notes. As a result, the ordeal led Bratton to leave music behind and pursue acting. However, Bratton isn’t bitter. “Everything happens for a reason. In The Grass Roots I had great opportunities and got some money from playing live. Most of those bands back in that time got
“

cheated.” Now, Bratton is combining his two loves - music and comedy into a stage show that’s headed to Solana Beach’s Belly Up on Mother’s Day, Sunday, May 14. Audiences should expect music as well as Bratton’s classic wry humor. When it comes to tying together his time with both The Office and The Grass Roots, Bratton draws from both experiences. “As an actor, if I’m delivering
scripted lines to the camera I’m conveying an emotion and a reality to an audience. When I’m on stage singing lyrics, I’m doing the same thing. One’s speaking the dialogue and the other is singing the dialogue. They’re very, very similar.” Doors open for Bratton’s May 14 show at The Belly Up at 7 p.m. and the show starts at 8 p.m. For tickets and more information, visit www.bellyup.com.

Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons ‘Little Free Library’ to perform at 2017 Don Diego dedication slated for May 6 Living memorial honors love of reading, fosters community Dotted across the coastal landscape are memorial park benches engraved with the names of loved ones. These benches are often sponsored and erected by family members as a memorial and placed in serene, scenic locations. Residents of Serenata Place in Carmel Valley have chosen a different route. Longtime Carmel Valley neighbors and friends have purchased a “Little Free Library” to honor the passing of a longtime neighbor’s mother. A ribbon cutting to dedicate the “Little Free Library” will take place on Saturday, May 6, at 5 p.m. The community is invited to attend the celebration and wine and cheese reception. “This free library is a beautiful symbol to keep words alive and to nurture the wonderful connection we have built in our neighborhood,” says Annabeth Hinderling, whose mother-in-law Lilly

The idea for the handmade book exchanges with the motto “Take a book.

Working Moms: How to Know if You’re Making the Right Career Choice One problem many of us face in life is picking a career. Either we have so many options, or, for whatever reason, our options are extremely limited. Do you go with what you really want to do, or do you go with the more “sensible” choice?Making the right career choice becomes even tougher when you become a parent. Your priorities change, meaning your career values may change also. How do you make the tough decision between fulfilling your career goals while maintaining that work-life balance that will allow you to focus on your family as well? We’ve put together a list of questions you can ask yourself to help guide you through this difficult decision. Does Your Job Compromise Your
DR. VAN CHENG San Diego Vein Institute 760.944.9263 sdveininstitute.com
Responsibilities at Home? Before you became a mom, your job was probably the main focus of your life. Now that you are a mom, your priorities have changed. Does your job fit into your lifestyle? Consider the following points:Do company policies allow for flexibility in your schedule?Does your job permit you to go to your kids’ school plays, football practices, or even sit down and eat dinner as a family?If you have a newborn, are you still expected to travel for work?What about dropping off and picking up kids at school? In other words, does your job give you work-life balance, or is it slowly draining the life out of you and making you miss out on your children’s lives? Sure, that’s a loaded question, but try to be honest with yourself when answering. Is Your Job Adding Value to Your Life? Your career should allow you to make progress as an individual. So many of us stay stuck in the same job for years, without challenging ourselves, mainly because it’s comfortable. Are you teaching your children to chase their dreams, or are you teaching them to settle? For many of us, it’s important to lead by example as parents. Are you doing what you love and learning along the way, or are you simply doing
what you must to pay the bills? Does your job meet or even exceed your financial needs? Remember that you’re not only a mom, but you’re an individual with interests and goals. Going after those goals will make you—and your family—happier in the long run. What’s Stopping You from Making a Career or Life Change? Sure, we all have bills to pay, but that shouldn’t be the go-to excuse for staying in a job that doesn’t bring any (or enough) fulfillment. Oftentimes, we get in our own way. Either we think we’ll fail and won’t take the risk, or we convince ourselves that our goals are unrealistic. Check in with yourself to see if fear and uncertainty are standing in the way. Perhaps you are truly fulfilled in your current position. What Are Your Options for Managing the Career You Love and Motherhood? Perhaps you chose your career because you wanted to help people. Find out if there are other ways you can serve your community that fit into your life as a mom and match your personality. For example, as a doctor, you may find that the working hours are simply too demanding to maintain both career fulfillment and a fulfilling home life. Why not venture into
another branch of healthcare—one that would allow you to work from home and spend time with your family while still allowing you to help other people? Do some research into the various alternative forms of your career and see what can still satisfy your professional goals. Remember—You Do Have a Say! The mere fact that you’re questioning whether your current job is right for you should serve as a red flag.

Local dentist offers positive approach to dentistry BY STACEY PHILLIPS Dr. Weston Spencer said there is nothing more beautiful than a healthy smile. As a specialist in conservative comprehensive dentistry, Spencer said the teams at his Rancho Santa Fe and La Jolla dental practices pride themselves on providing superior care for patients. “We take the time to listen carefully to each patient’s unique cosmetic goals and then devise a treatment plan personalized to his or her particular case,” said Spencer. “We work together with our patients to ensure they achieve and maintain their optimal oral health and desired cosmetic outcome.” Spencer said the restorative dentistry treatments they offer are used to repair damage to the teeth and gums, while general dentistry treatments include a patient’s regular visits, which are necessary to maintain oral health. In addition to offering these services, the dental practices also provide cosmetic dentistry. “People who come to us for cosmetic dentistry don’t always have a big problem that needs to be fixed.
Often, they just want to look and feel better about their smile,” said Spencer. The dental offices focus on various treatments designed to improve the appearance of a patient’s smile, including porcelain veneers, teeth whitening, tooth-colored fillings, dental crowns, and Invisalign. “The biggest advantage to cosmetic dentistry is how you feel about yourself,” said Spencer. “Many people hesitate to ask about their options with cosmetic dentistry thinking that it might be unnecessary, but in actuality numerous studies show that our ability to smile without hesitation directly correlates to our overall confidence in social situations.” Whether someone is looking for a new job, a new relationship or making other changes in their lives, he said how someone smiles or perceives their smile, can give them the confidence to pursue their goals. “Cosmetic dentistry encompasses the physical appearance of a smile, as well as giving a patient the tools to maintain a healthy mouth,” he said. In order to offer quality cosmetic

Dr. Weston Spencer dentistry, Spencer said he makes it a priority to attend regular meetings and classes to stay-up-to-date with current training and materials. Every year, he spends hundreds of hours continuing his education in cosmetic-related training. He is a member of several organizations such as the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry and the
Academy of Aesthetic Dentistry where he said he learns from some of the best dentists in the world. “We continue to better understand what people are looking for and how they feel about their mouth and their smile,” said Spencer. After graduating from Loma Linda University School of Dentistry at the top of his class, Spencer began
practicing in La Jolla with Dr. James Lovell in 2011. He opened an additional location in Rancho Santa Fe in 2016. The practice recently celebrated its one-year anniversary and is open to treat patients on Thursdays, and all weekdays for after-hours emergencies. Spencer’s goal is to add more time to his Rancho Santa Fe schedule in 2017. That being said, his patients are always welcome to book an appointment in La Jolla any other day of the week. Since opening the Rancho Santa Fe location, Spencer said he and his team have been overwhelmingly grateful for the support the community has shown. In addition to sponsoring activities at the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center and establishing relationships with local residents and businesses, he sets aside time to educate those in the surrounding area about good oral health, which includes talking to seniors at the Rancho Santa Fe Senior Center. Due to its close proximity to R. Roger Rowe School, the dental office SEE DENTIST, B22

ASID, Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary designer combine to relaunch showcase The San Diego chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID) and Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary have teamed up to re-introduce the ASID Designer Showcase to San Diego next spring after a 16-year absence. Between 1975 and 2002, the Designer Showcase house fundraising event featured work by top interior designers in the region. The month-long event attracted tens of thousands of people to San Diego County estates masterfully remodeled to showcase the latest in interior design. Notable showcases include the Juan Osuna Ranch, once owned by Bing Crosby, and the C. Arnholt Smith estate, both in Rancho Santa Fe, and the Carnation Building in Downtown San Diego, which was later developed into lofts and appropriately called the Re-incarnation Building. “Our objective has always been to promote excellence in interior design and enhance the public’s awareness of the profession,” said co-chair Janine Thierry Brown, ASID, a past president of the San Diego chapter. “Plus, it is a wonderful opportunity for people to be inspired and enjoy an entertaining outing with friends, while giving to a great cause.” “Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary is pleased to be the fundraising beneficiary of the ASID
Designer Showcase 2018,” said Leslie Dupree, co-chair, RCHA Endowment Steering Committee and a past auxiliary president. “The funds raised will support the Auxiliary’s Endowment for Neurosciences at Rady Children’s Institute for Genomic Medicine. The Endowment has the potential to make a profound impact on healthcare for children now and into the future,” she noted. Brown and Dupree have assembled a committee to oversee the herculean project, that will eventually involve thousands of volunteers — from designers and master craftspeople to tour guides. “Our first and biggest task is to secure a house and we are soliciting the public’s help to find one,” said Brown. “We’re searching for a historically significant or architecturally interesting estate with square footage upwards of 8,000 square feet that features a minimum of 20 indoor and outdoor design spaces, sufficient property for the Opening Night Gala, other outdoor events, lectures/classes, a café, and area or garage for “The Boutique.” Although nearby parking is preferred, shuttle service could be arranged if necessary,” she said. Brown also noted that the homeowners will need to vacate the premises from approximately
late January through June of 2018. “In exchange, the homeowner does receive numerous benefits,” explained Brown. “The designers are financially responsible for the designing and furnishing their rooms, following a color palette created by ASID and the homeowner. The homeowner will be involved in the design process and has the final say on permanent changes. Professional designers introduce the homeowner and the public to what’s current in design, as well as the latest in fixtures, appliances and technology. Many of the improvements are done at or near cost,” she said, adding, “Every house and owner is unique.” Brown noted that ASID Designer Showcase is an ideal opportunity for a homeowner who is looking at a major remodel or considering listing their house for sale. Owners or Realtors are invited to contact Brown at hgijbi@sbcglobal.net to suggest a house for consideration. Early next year the public will be invited to tour the house before the designers work their magic during the popular “Empty House Party.” The ASID Designer Showcase is scheduled to debut during a gala VIP opening on April 28, 2018, with tours throughout the month of May.

Celebrate Mother’s Day with a liquid brunch
T
o honor moms at all stages of mothering, here are some calming cocktails with a twist, along with some soothing smoothies, for fun brunch food pairings that the kids can help prepare for their special big girl on Sunday, May 14.
Bloody Mary, Quite Contrary
For moms who enjoy savory sips, nothing wets the whistle like a classic Bloody Mary, blending vodka, tomato juice, hot sauce and Worcestershire with a celery stirring stick. Creative mixologists across the land have tweaked this version making more combinations than mothers’ hair colors. There’s a Bloody-free Mary without the tomato juice, and a hickory-infused rendition with honey-glazed bacon stirring strips. Asian-inspired Marys include wasabi mustard, chili oil, and sriracha, oyster and soy sauces, while south of the border versions amp up the heat with crushed jalapenos and chipotle sauce, along with fresh lime juice and cilantro. The Dirty Bloody Mary (like the Dirty Martini) blends olive brine into the cocktail, a detoxifying version swaps out tomato juice for beet juice, while farm-to-table Mary combines fresh pureed Heirloom tomatoes with assorted seasonal herbs.
Frittatas and quiches of all manners, hash skillets, assorted smoked fish, and a prosciutto and melon platter nicely complement the Bloody Mary.
Blender Babes
Silky smoothie combinations can suit a wide variety of moms’ palates, dietary restrictions and preferences: • For vegan options, use pureed fruits and juices or almond, coconut, soy, hazelnut, hemp, oat or other non-dairy drinks as a creamy base; • Go nutty with a protein-rich boost from tahini or almond, cashew, hazelnut or peanut butters blended in creamy almond milk with a dollop of fruit preserves; • Concoct a fiber-rich, probiotic powerhouse with kefir yoghurt or fermented black tea known as kombucha, along with a mix of fresh berries, and a sprinkle of hearty wheat germ; • Get your goat with sheep milk or yoghurt, a splash of tangerine juice, chestnut honey, and fresh shredded ginger; • Go green by adding a handful of fresh kale, spinach, basil, cucumber, frozen peas, avocado or a scoop of matcha green tea powder for an antioxidant oomph; • Spike the smoothie with your favorite

Mimosa Mamas
The quintessential drink of Mother’s Day is the classic Mimosa, which simply blends fresh squeezed orange and tangerine juices with Champagne. For a refreshing change, add a splash of St. Germain or elderberry liqueur, or up the ante with a double dose of orange from Grand Marnier or orange bitters. Concoct a liquid Creamsicle with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream or gelato into the cocktail. Or swap out the orange juice for zippy pineapple, tart cranberry, refreshing watermelon, or lip-puckering grapefruit juice. For a sweeter mimosa, add a pinch of coconut sugar, agave syrup or orange blossom honey. For a more potent one add a dose of tequila. Finally, for eye candy float fresh raspberries, pomegranate seeds, strawberry slices or mint leaves on top.
The Bell(ini) of the Ball
This sparkling wine cocktail with a sassy Mediterranean flair is an attention grabber at any celebration. Named after the Renaissance painter Giovanni Bellini, the original concoction used Italian sparkling wine called Prosecco, while the Americanized version opts for Champagne. The bubbly is simply blended with fresh peach nectar or puree in a Champagne flute. Garnish with peach slices soaked in lemon juice to prevent browning. To jazz up the classic Bellini, add some fresh basil, or replace the peach puree with other seasonal

“
W Went to Nissan right after I had my son because we wanted a family SUV. I had checked out some other dealers before coming here. It was the best car buying experience yet. Got discounts and they helped us find the SUV that fit us. Never once were they pushy car salesmen! I always talk about my experience at this Nissan. My husband and I left happy and still are very happy today about adding a new Nissan!
