Concert venue at fairgrounds clears hurdle BY SEBASTIAN MONTES The Del Mar Fairgrounds took a significant step this week in its longtime effort to build a concert venue inside its off-track betting center, which has for years eked out a trickle of revenues. The 7-0 vote from the board of directors of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the

state-owned fairgrounds, to transform the Surfside Race Place doubled down on their position that the project does not require state environmental review, despite 11th hour entreaties to the contrary from Solana Beach and Del Mar. The May 23 decision does call on DAA staff to determine whether they will need a new permit from the

California Coastal Commission. Some of the Surfside Race Place’s wagering operations would remain in the reimagined facility. Preliminary designs call for a 1,900-seat amphitheater to fill roughly half of the building. The rest of the space would consist of a beer garden and an exhibit on the history of San Diego beer.

Solana Beach unveils draft of climate action plan BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Solana Beach has taken its first steps onto a path toward cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half over the next two decades. After more than a year of work, Solana Beach released the first draft of its Climate Action Plan (CAP) on May 19, bringing it in line with most other cities in San Diego County. The CAP is the city’s attempt at a comprehensive roadmap for policies on where its energy comes from, how its residents get around and strategies for

protecting vulnerable habitats — all in the hopes of bracing for the ravages wrought by global temperatures making their projected climb. The 163-page plan is open to public comment until June 12, highlighted by a public workshop at 5:30 p.m. on Wednesday, May 31 at City Hall. Del Mar enacted its climate plan last summer. Encinitas is in draft stages, with approval expected next month. The city of San Diego won international acclaim in SEE CLIMATE, A22

BY SEBASTIAN MONTES All eyes in the San Diego cannabis community are set squarely on May 30 after the managers of the Del Mar Fairgrounds called for a public forum on the region’s first-ever cannabis festival. The Goodlife Festival — which is planned for Sept. 23 — is expected to draw several thousand people to the fairgrounds. Organizers say it will be limited to age 21 and up, and only attendees with medical marijuana cards will be allowed to bring cannabis to consume in designated areas. Fairgrounds managers — as is customary with smaller-scale events — had signed the contract prior to seeking approval from the board of directors. But backlash erupted after this newspaper broke the news on May 2, and the topic was scheduled for discussion at the May 23 board meeting of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which operates the state-owned fairgrounds. But as the uproar grew, the DAA decided last week to host a special forum solely on the festival. Anti-drug activists are hailing the May 30 forum as a small but important victory. “We, in the public, didn’t

have a chance to address it until after the contract was signed,” said Judi Strang, executive director of the San Dieguito Alliance for Drug Free Youth. “We don’t think cannabis use in a public facility is good public health. Festival organizers plan to counter with testimony from medical marijuana patients, and the San Diego County Farm Bureau — which is fiercely pro-marijuana — is scheduled to give a presentation. The board of directors is also asking for guidance from the state attorney general’s office, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department and the California Department of Food and Agriculture, which oversees the state’s fairgrounds. “This is something that we’re feeling our way on, because we’re getting different inputs from different folks,” said DAA Board President Russ Penniman. “Not everybody is on the same page on this. This needs a board discussion and we’ll see what comes of it.” The meeting is scheduled for 4 p.m. on May 30 at the fairgrounds board room, 2260 Jimmy Durante Blvd., Del Mar.

Gophers have left holes and mounds of dirt in Torrey Hills Community Park.

KAREN BILLING

Resident seeks solution for gopher problem in Torrey Hills Park BY KAREN BILLING A local resident contends that years of neglect at Torrey Hills Community Park has led to a gopher population that is out of control. The park on Calle Mar de Mariposa and Calle Mejillones brims with soccer and baseball activity as well as varmints burrowing underground, leaving behind pockmarks and mounds of dirt that are both an eyesore and a safety concern, said park neighbor Larry Juarez. Addressing the Torrey Hills Community Planning Board on May 16, Juarez said there are not only gopher holes “everywhere” in the park but he believes the lack of maintenance has led gophers to expand into the surrounding neighborhoods. “It’s like a landmine has hit my home,” said Juarez of his backyard and sideyard. “It’s kind of like ‘Caddyshack’ trying to stay on top of it.” Jaurez complained that the city maintenance schedule at the park is infrequent and that no records have been kept of work that has been done. He said he wants the city to maintain the park, “to do what they should be doing anyway” and prevent hazards that make the park unsafe for people who are using the park for recreation. In 2015, a man won a settlement of $450,000 after injuring his knee stepping into a gopher hole at Robb Field in Ocean

Beach. Gophers can breed up to three times a year and in San Diego the population is higher because of the warmer climate. Board members said the city has limited options in dealing with the gopher population and they were interested in finding out what the city believes could be an effective treatment. “I’m hesitant to use chemicals or traps in parks,” Torrey Hills Planning Board Chair Chair Kathryn Burton said. “I understand the problem but the city also has to be careful in a place where children are.” “It’s getting worse and with all the rain it’s going to be 10 times worse this year,” Torrey Hills board member Kim Walker said. “I don’t think the park is maintained very well period but I just don’t know what to do about (the gophers). They are a naturally-occurring animal and I have a hard time poisoning them with chemicals or using traps.” Torrey Hills board member Brad Fagan pointed out that poison was recently used in Santaluz which ended up negatively impacting the owl population. “Poison crashes the whole ecosystem,” Burton said. The board members decided they would send a letter to the city asking it to address Juarez’s concerns, track maintenance and provide the board with a maintenance schedule. SEE GOPHER, A21

Water district plans double-digit rate increase BY JOE TASH Customers of the Santa Fe Irrigation District (SFID) are looking at double-digit increases in their water bills next year, based on a proposed spending plan that will be considered for adoption by the district’s board of directors in June. The rate hike, which is planned for Jan. 1, 2018, will total between 11 and 13 percent, said Jeanne Deaver, the district’s administrative service manager. This includes a 9 percent rate hike imposed by the district, plus a “pass-through” of between 2 and 4 percent based on expected rate increases by the district’s wholesale water supplier, the San Diego County Water

Authority. The district’s financial outlook is much improved for the upcoming budget year, which runs from July 1, 2017 through June 30, 2018 Deaver told the board at its meeting on Thursday, May 18. That’s due to a number of factors, including a rainy winter that filled the reservoir at Lake Hodges, which provides cheaper local water; an increase in customer demand due to the end of drought-related water-use restrictions; and two recent 9 percent rate hikes, imposed in June and January. The district plans to use additional revenue in the coming year to build up SEE WATER, A21

Local pianist Anne Liu wins scholarship competition BY KAREN BILLING Young pianist Anne Liu, a sophomore at Canyon Crest Academy, won first place in the Helen B. Goodlin Scholarship Competition on May 13, earning the Chet and Jane Schmidt Award and a $2,000 scholarship. The Goodlin competition is one of the most prestigious music competitions open to kids and teens in the greater San Diego area. In January, Anne also won first place in the La Jolla Symphony and Chorus Young Artists Competition, taking home a $1,500 prize. “It’s tough to win these competitions and I was really excited when I was announced,” Anne said. Anne, 15, competed in the Goodlin Scholarship Competition in the senior keyboard division (ages 15-18) and was the youngest contestant in her age group, just like she was in 2014 when she won in the 12-14 age division at age 12. Anne started playing the piano at age 4. “My parents are both classical music lovers and they often played classical music in the house,” Anne said. “I told them that I really wanted to play like that.” Anne got more serious with her piano lessons by age 8. She has studied with Inessa Litvin’s Advanced Piano Studios and currently studies with Ethan Dong, the director at Opus119 Conservatory of Music. “I play piano every day, not just to practice,” said Anne, who has a Steinway in her home. “It’s one way I know how to express what I’m feeling.” In addition to playing music to express happiness or to release stress, Ann said she is also constantly practicing to keep up with her technique. While she is too busy to participate in CCA’s music program, she has founded the Chamber Music Club at school. The club brings together students that play a variety of instruments — they learn pieces on their own with the goal to perform at civic centers or senior retirement homes. In March 2014, Anne made her solo debut in Carnegie Hall

as a winner of the International Young Gifted Musicians Festival, followed by two solo recitals in December. “The first time I was really nervous,” Anne said of performing at Carnegie Hall. “The second time I felt more experienced. Playing there was the accomplishment of my first dream.” In 2015 she took second at the Los Angeles International Young Musician Competition and, in 2016, she won second in the International Liszt Competition and took first in the 2016 South Coast Symphony Competition, earning her a $1,000 prize and the opportunity to perform with the South Coast Symphony in February this year.

In August 2016, Anne performed her first solo concert in China. While she likes performing chamber music in groups, she enjoys the flexibility of performing on her own. Playing Carnegie Hall was her first dream to be ticked off her list and she has plenty of goals to work toward: She would like to attend Julliard School or Curtis Institute of Music, she would like to become a professional pianist and she would like to spread her love of music as far as she can. “There are a lot of places in the world that don’t have access to this kind of music,” Anne said. “I wish to travel to these places and play for them.”

Tiny hearts fuel local doctor's huge compassion BY JOE TASH Dr. Paul Grossfeld focuses much of his time and energy in caring for the tiniest of patients babies with congenital heart defects. Grossfeld, a Carmel Valley resident, wears two hats -- he’s a pediatric cardiologist at Rady Children’s Hospital, and a professor at UC San Diego Medical School, where he teaches and oversees a research laboratory. An annual fundraiser - called “Little Hearts Big Hopes” - was held Sunday, May 21, at the home of Linda and Jeff Church in Rancho Santa Fe with the goal of raising about $250,000, enough money to keep Grossfeld’s research going for the next year. Grossfeld’s lab at UCSD studies the genetic causes of congenital heart defects, to improve patient care and potentially prevent the conditions from developing. He oversees the work of two research scientists. One area that Grossfeld is most interested in is a disease called Jacobsen syndrome, which is caused when part of the 11th chromosome is missing. Children born with the syndrome may suffer from intellectual disability, autism and a heart defect called hypoplastic left heart syndrome. In patients with the heart syndrome, Grossfeld said, the left side of the heart does not develop properly, meaning it cannot adequately pump blood throughout the body. Patients either need a heart transplant, or a complex three-stage process to restructure the heart. While Grossfeld said his lab, which collaborates with a number of other research institutions, receives some grant funding, the annual fundraising effort is crucial.

MCKENZIE IMAGES

Luke Picotte, pediatric patient/survivor Madison Picotte with her doctor UCSD faculty/Rady Children’s Pediatric Cardiologist Dr. Paul Grossfeld “Philanthropy is large component of support for this kind of research,” he said. For their part, the Church family, which has hosted the fundraiser for the past several years, doesn’t have a personal connection to someone with congenital heart defect. But they wholeheartedly support Grossfeld and his work, said Linda Church. Her family co-owns Suja, a San Diego-based juice company whose products are found in stores around the nation. “I believe in research, and certainly medical research. He’s finding so much valuable information for so many different issues,” which relate not just to heart issues, but to such disorders as Alzheimer’s disease and autism. “It helps humanity in general. That’s why we support it.”

Over the years, Grossfeld has found support from Hollywood as well as Rancho Santa Fe. Last year, the fundraising event was held at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles and, in previous years, at the set of the hit television sitcom “How I Met Your Mother,” Grossfeld said. Grossfeld met the show’s co-creator, Craig Thomas, after Thomas’ son was diagnosed with Jacobsen syndrome. At this year’s fundraiser at the Church home, one of the featured attractions was a performance by Ethan Bortnick, a pianist and musical prodigy who has already won wide renown despite his young age of 15. Ethan’s younger brother, Nathan, was born with hypoplastic left heart syndrome, said Grossfeld.

Coastal Luxury Specialists

Over 35 years of local strategic marketing, residential development & negotiation experience.

Among Grossfeld’s own philanthropic work is a series of missions to a children’s hospital in Siem Reap, Cambodia, organized by his wife, Susan, which have provided heart surgeries to 150 young patients over the past decade. Research into congenital heart defects is making progress, Grossfeld said. Just within the past year, colleagues at Georgia Tech have isolated a gene in frogs, which, when deactivated, causes hypoplastic left heart syndrome. The discovery may lead to interventions which can prevent the defect from occurring, he said. “The importance of that, if we’re right, will be huge for this field.” And with cuts proposed to the National Institutes of Health, which funds research grants, individual giving is needed to support vital research. “I hope that through the fundraiser and (media coverage) it will raise more awareness and support,” Grossfeld said. “We can’t do it without philanthropy, that’s the bottom line.” Church said she and her family began hosting Grossfeld’s annual fundraisers out of a desire to support his vital research. But the connections with Grossfeld and his colleagues proved invaluable when her own son was later diagnosed with a heart condition that caused a rapid heartbeat. “I think a lot of people feel if they’re not affected by a certain issue, it’s not important for them to give,” said Church. “But when you give, you are receiving so much more in return.” For more information, email Grossfeld at pgrossfeld@ucsd.edu or visit www.littleheartsbighopes.org.

Wave Volleyball is taking its game to new heights BY SEBASTIAN MONTES It’s safe to say that Wave Volleyball suffers from an embarrassment of riches. The Del Mar-based club boasts top teenage talent guided by dozens of elite coaches and alumni every year who ascend to the best collegiate programs in the country. And now, they have the facility to go with it. Three years after embarking on their vision to turn a 55,000-square-foot dirt lot on Jimmy Durante Boulevard into a cutting-edge volleyball operation, Wave at last put the finishing touches on their gleaming facility this spring to include offices and space for players to relax and do homework. Wave’s owners and coaches celebrated the milestone with a ribbon-cutting last week. It was the culmination of a decade-old dream for Brennan and Kristen Dean, who bought Wave five years ago then partnered with their friends Doug and Rosanna Forsyth to take the club to a whole new level. “Our goal was to make the best facility in Southern California,” Brennan Dean said. “One sand court had been the initial idea. Then we saw this space and realized we could do a lot more.” So they turned the dirt lot across from the Del Mar Fairgrounds into a volleyball facility without rival in the San Diego region, with lighted sand courts, an on-site exercise facility tailor-made for

SEBASTIAN MONTES

Wave Volleyball’s three-year effort to build an unrivaled facility has come to fruition. volleyball training, and three indoor courts featuring Olympic-quality flooring. That Teraflex surface is key. “The wood floors will tear you up pretty good,” Dean said. “[Teraflex] still has the bounce that a basketball floor has but it feels like a yoga mat when you sit on it.” The facility is fast becoming a regional hub for competitive youth volleyball. They’ve already hosted a tournament of 16 teams. In a few months, they’ll host a tournament of 32 high school teams. When Wave was founded in 2000,

Brennan and Kristen were on board as coaches. They’re now married, and Wave now draws top teenage talent from San Clemente to Temecula to the Mexican border. Demand the last couple years has shot through the roof, especially since the NCAA made women’s sand volleyball an official sport. They start at kindergarten age — with the aptly named “ripple” program — and go up to 18 years old. There are 40 teams in all, totaling some 600 kids. Year in and year out, Wave is one of the top 10 clubs

in the country, Dean said. Two of its coaches are former USA volleyball Olympians. The rest of the coaching roster is littered with current players at UC San Diego, the University of San Diego, Sand Diego State University and Point Loma Nazarene University. They have full-time staff dedicated to college recruitment, and nearly all the players go on to compete at a four-year college, Dean said —dozens of them on full scholarship. “We really make sure that we’re preparing our athletes for the next level by giving them next-level coaches,” he said. “We’ve got great families coming to support this club. We work really hard to get scholarships for our kids and get them opportunities. Another thing that we’re proud of here is the life skills that we’re able to teach these athletes. We think it’s a very unique, special place to teach kids.” And with the gleaming new facility, it’s not solely for the crème de la crème. “Because of this expansion we’re now able to bring any level of volleyball into this facility,” Dean said. “Beforehand we were only an elite volleyball club that had to turn away, unfortunately, a number of families due to the space. But now we’re able to expand and bring so many more new kids of different levels, so it’s really exciting for all of us to work with them.” Learn more at www.wavevb.com.

Break free from osteoporosis Local physician Heather Hofflich an advocate for bone health

BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley physician Heather Hofflich has become a strong voice for strong bones. An endocrinologist at UC San Diego Health Sciences, Hofflich specializes in the area of osteoporosis. She is the west coast ambassador for the National Osteoporosis Foundation and throughout May is raising awareness about bone health and the prevention of bone loss for National Osteoporosis Month. “Osteoporosis is a major health issue and it’s really important that people think about it,” Hofflich said, noting it affects about 54 million Americans, resulting in two million broken bones a year. Osteoporosis is a skeletal disorder characterized by compromised bone strength, pre-disposing a person to increased risk of fracture. Bone strength is the integration of bone density and bone quality. While there is no cure, Hofflich is spreading the word that there are ways for people to “break free” from osteoporosis and build and maintain strong bones for life. As part of her outreach, she is appearing on Lifetime TV channel’s “Access Health” with Ereka Vetrini to discuss bone loss prevention. The segment will first air on Wednesday, June 21 at 7 a.m., followed by other airings. Hofflich, a Carmel Valley resident since 2008, has always been interested in the physiology and biology of bone. Bone health and loss encompasses so many different types of patients — seniors, women, patients with eating disorders, malabsorption, Chron’s disease or celiac disease and she is drawn to the mechanisms of why people have bone loss and the work of preventative care, diagnosis and treatment options. Hofflich is a fellow of the American College of Endocrinology and is a certified clinical densitometrist, a professional certification in the field of bone density. Osteoporosis is mostly a silent disease, producing no symptoms until the bone is so weakened it breaks. The most common fractures due to osteoporosis are to the wrist, spine and hips, and most patients had no idea they were at risk until that first break. “After the first fracture, the risk is five-fold of having another fracture. We want to prevent that,” said Hofflich, noting that as age is the biggest risk factor for osteoporosis, she recommends patients over 50 discuss having a bone density scan with their healthcare provider. Preventative steps for bone health, however, can and should be taken at any age. “We attain peak bone mass in our 30s and lose bone over our lifetimes,” Hofflich said. “The simple keys to fighting bone loss are getting enough calcium, Vitamin D and exercise.” For calcium, the goals vary by age group but patients over 50 should shoot for 1,200 milligrams a day. Hofflich said the source for calcium should be mostly from diet but people can supplement as needed. Some non-dairy calcium sources include kale, bok choy, beans and almonds.

Vitamin D is also an important component to prevention, Hofflich said and it is typically recommended to get 800 to 1,000 IU daily. Hofflich admits that Vitamin D can be difficult to get through diet and the other source, sunlight, can be frowned upon by dermatologists. Sardines, fish and cod liver oil are all sources of Vitamin D but if not willing to tolerate those tastes, a supplement can also be used for those who are Vitamin D deficient. For exercise, weight bearing exercises are important. “You need to be on your feet,” Hofflich said, encouraging activities such as walking, hiking, running, dancing, anything that gets your body moving. For National Osteoporosis Month, the foundation’s biggest effort was the Jumping Jack Challenge. Jumping jacks are good for building bone strength and density when you’re younger and to maintain bone strength as you age so the campaign encouraged people to post jumping jack videos to social media and challenge their friends. In San Diego, Hofflich continues her outreach efforts with her monthly Bone Health Education and Support group, which she started in 2009. The group has informative presentations by leading experts about the latest discoveries in prevention, nutrition, diagnosis and treatment. The group, held the first Wednesday of every month at noon at Thornton Hospital, is also an opportunity for people to share concerns, problems and coping strategies. While there are many similar groups throughout the country, the San Diego group is unique in that it is physician-run by Hofflich. “It’s been fantastic and it’s a great resource for the community,” Hofflich said. Check out the Jumping Jack Challenge and more at the National Osteoporosis Foundation’s website at nof.org. More tips and guidelines for all ages can be found at 4bonehealth.org.

CCA students shine at CCA student chosen for USA Biology Olympiad Finals International Science Fair Most high school students are grateful that summer vacation has arrived. But for Allen Huang of Canyon Crest Academy, the most important classes are just beginning. Huang has been chosen as one of the top 20 high school biology students in the U.S. by The Center for Excellence in Education (CEE), and will travel this week to the 15th Annual USA Biology Olympiad (USABO) National Finals in metro Washington DC. Finalists will meet May 28 to June 9 for 10 days of intensive biology instruction—including high-level laboratory training and concepts. Those activities will be followed by two days of testing to determine the USABO’s ‘Dream Team’—the four students who will represent the United States as Team USA at the International Biology Olympiad (IBO) from July 23-30 in Coventry, United Kingdom. “CEE is proud to work with Marymount University

to train the USABO National Finalists in practical and theoretical biology,” said Joann DiGennaro, president of CEE. “These students are some of the highest achieving biology students from this country, and it is exciting to prepare them for the international competition in the United Kingdom.” Nearly 10,000 talented students from across the country registered for the USABO, according to Kathy Frame, CEE director of USABO and Special Projects. The 20 finalists—representing nine states—were selected based on their scores from the USABO Open and Semifinal Exams. “The mission of the USABO is to encourage excellence in biology education throughout the United States and to challenge students and their teachers to reach the gold standard in biology,” said Frame. “USABO Finalists will each work diligently to become the best in the U.S.

and to continue the United States’ success at the IBO this July.” The International Biology Olympiad (IBO) is an annual event where students from all over the world compete on their knowledge of biology. The participants are pre-university students, ages 14 to 19. To take part in the IBO, students must place in the top four of the National Biology Olympiad in their individual countries. While at Marymount, USABO finalists will participate in intensive theoretical and practical tutorials, and will study with leading U.S. biologists who are experts in the fields of cellular and molecular biology, plant anatomy and physiology, animal anatomy and physiology, genetics and evolution, ecology, ethology, and biosystematics. This is the second year that Marymount will host the USABO finals with CEE in Arlington, Va. Visit ibo2017.org and cee.org

Beth Sirull named as new President and CEO of Jewish Community Foundation of San Diego The board of the Jewish Community Foundation (JCF) of San Diego has announced the appointment of Beth Sirull as the new President and CEO, and holder of the Miriam and Jerome Katzin Presidential Chair.

The 8U Pink Bubblegum came into the tournament ready to flash the baserunning speed, hitting power, and team fielding they’d practiced so tenaciously during the year. Sliding in safe at the plate, hitting home runs, and securing crucial outs to support their hard-working pitchers, the Bubblegum advanced through to the final, a rematch with Coach Mark Cullivan’s very talented Blue Angels, who had won a tight game between the teams earlier in pool play. After starting the championship game with a leadoff home run, the Bubblegum cheered each other on and played with tremendous heart and teamwork in order to grind out a very competitive 5-4 victory.

Great pitching by A. Cain, Rosen and Nauss, along with a strong offense, led the team to score 56 runs while allowing only 16. Sealy and Lemans made clutch defensive plays. Hingorani, Johnson, Rosen and Sweesy hit homeruns, Nicholson hit 2 triples, and R. Cain led the team in RBI's with 9. Kaupa and Hall also had great hits. It was a true team effort for the Dirt Devils.

A new opportunity for public art

el Mar is a community which admires and appreciates art. Since I have been on council I have heard from many residents a strong desire for some form of public art. But, unfortunately, Del Mar has never had a city policy that outlines how public art can be proposed, accepted, located in public spaces and managed over time. With the pending completion of the Del Mar Civic Center, the possible developments of the Garden Project, the Watermark Project and the North Bluff Project, we have many opportunities to see public art placed in the community. Over two years ago a committee of the Del Mar Village Association (DMVA) drafted a very comprehensive public art policy. In January of 2016, the Del Mar City Council asked a subcommittee of Sherryl Parks and myself to draft a scaled-down city policy for public art, based on the best recommendations of the DMVA report. A draft was reviewed by council in October 2016. We then circulated the draft to all community organizations for review and comment. A final recommendation was presented to council last Monday, May 15. I would say most of the council was very enthusiastic and supportive of the public art

proposal. After a good discussion, the council approved the Public Art Policy. Here are the highlights: Goal: The Del Mar Public Art Program seeks to ensure the highest quality of design, where public art has a constant presence in our community. Program: The program will include art on public and private property. It will be implemented as a five-year pilot program, with the first two years focusing on art donated to the city or purchased with donated funds. After two years, if the program is successful, the community can decide whether to expand the effort using other funding sources. Art Advisory Committee (AAC): A seven-member committee will be appointed to advise the City Council as the review committee for all public art projects. It will select and recommend projects to the City Council for installation in public spaces. The committee will include four residents (art backgrounds preferred), a Del Mar business owner (arts-related business preferred) , a representative from the Del Mar Village Association, a representative from the Del Mar Foundation, and an ex-officio member

www.delmartimes.net with art administration background. Community Norms: Public art must represent freedom of expression while at the same time not insulting or offending large portions of the community. For this reason, all art pieces being considered for public display will first be reviewed by the AAC based on contemporary, community standards. An art piece will not be accepted by the city if the AAC determines it conflicts with basic community standards. Art Permanence: All art owned by the city is considered temporary, and may be moved, removed or decommissioned at any time. Art located on a permanent structure may be removed when the structured is changed or demolished. Now what I have outlined above is a brief description of the new policy. The actual policy has many fine points described in a detail that would make attorneys proud. You will be able to read the specifics on Del Mar’s website. What is truly amazing to me is that after 58 years as a city, we have the initial agreement that the city will encourage and accommodate public art. I will keep my fingers crossed that many of our residents will step forward to make this a success. I want to thank the Del Mar Village Association and the Del Mar Foundation for their long-time efforts to bring an art policy forward. I also want to recognize Sherryl Parks who put her energy into bringing this to life. I have the privilege of serving as Del Mar’s Mayor for one year. These comments are my own perspective of the consensus of the Council.

OUR READERS WRITE Giving thanks As the academic year comes to an end, I would like to thank the teachers and administrators in the Encinitas Union and San Dieguito Union school districts who took an extra effort to make the schools safer for students. It’s time to thank students and parents who reached out and helped someone who needed the extra support. In the last few weeks, many of us have renewed our subscriptions to newspapers that have racked up nationwide popularity through their investigative reporting. At the local level, I strongly feel that we need to thank our local journalists who have continued to work hard to decode issues related to our schools. I rely on our local education reporter, Karen Billing, for providing an excellent summary of the educational issues that are most relevant to parents and concerned residents. Initially, I used to rely on the minutes of the SDUHSD board meetings. However, after I had read how my urgent and detailed request to improve the data analysis of the Healthy Kids

Survey was described in the board minutes, I grew more attached to the Encinitas Advocate for education-related news. As a researcher, I admire investigative journalists. As for our district, Marsha Sutton, has made a mark. She pursues a topic with great tenacity even when she is aware that some will be very unhappy with her findings. Marsha works hard to seek the truth through research and analysis and keeps unraveling information that takes us by surprise. She is a great role model for aspiring investigative journalists, particularly for young women. Marsha is also shaping education activists who will make Equity in Education a reality in the North County Coastal schools. Have a great summer and be safe. Sheila Mitra Sarkar, Encinitas

Education column appreciated The following letter was sent to Education Matters

opinion columnist Marsha Sutton and to this newspaper for publication: I’m writing this to let you know that I think your most recent Education Matters opinion column in the paper, “Betting on hope,” is really great. I love reading your education column. I agree with you that the recent salary raises are ridiculous. I was particularly impressed with the “Golden Fleece Award” part. Wow. It just goes to show you what is really going on. The “highest paid in the district” clause is also crazy. Were it not for your columns, many parents locally would not know what is going on. Unfortunately, due to the Union’s extraordinary power in our state and the support they receive from California’s dominant political party, this issue is unlikely to be resolved anytime soon. I commend you, though, for bringing light on these issues to parents in the district. Perhaps next time the teachers in our district demand an unrealistic and undeserved salary increase, parents in the district will speak up and demand the money be used for a different purpose.

San Dieguito’s special relationship with its teachers union

ith the retirement of San Dieguito Faculty Association (SDFA) teachers union president Bob Croft this June 30, after 37 years in the San Dieguito Union High School District, SDUHSD has an opportunity to embark in a new direction. Every year since 2010, Croft — whose salary is $125,797 — has not taught in the classroom. In addition, the district provides him with free office space to carry out his union duties. Torrie Norton, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of human resources, confirmed that Croft does not teach, is paid a full teachers’ salary, and is given free office space at Earl Warren Middle School. She said a substitute teacher has been hired each year since 2010 to teach Croft’s physical education classes. This arrangement was formalized in the 2010 certificated master contract which was approved by the board on April 15, 2010, she said. According to Norton, “Croft was gradually released from his regular teaching duties starting with the 2009-10 school year for the purposes of collaboration and employee/district problem solving and mutual interest resolution.” Said Norton in an email, “It is not a requirement, but has been the option agreed to in recent years. Every year it is mutually agreed upon between the superintendent and SDFA during the staffing process.” SDUHSD’s contract entitles the union president to this benefit as long as the district’s superintendent agrees to this arrangement. What if the superintendent and SDFA

president don’t agree? “If it is not mutually agreed, then it is not implemented,” Norton said, which leaves the door open for a different sort of arrangement with the next union leader. Norton said it is “not uncommon” for school districts to have this kind of agreement. Other districts Despite this claim, paying a full salary to a union president and relieving him or her from teaching responsibilities is actually quite uncommon at other local school districts. Said Terry Decker, superintendent of the K-6 Solana Beach School District, “The president of the teachers’ union is a full-time teacher. We do not provide office space.” Said Holly McClurg, superintendent of the K-6 Del Mar Union School District, “The lead of the teachers’ union teaches full time. He is not provided free office space.” Said David Jaffe, superintendent of the K-8 Rancho Santa Fe School District, “She is a full time teacher and has no office space.” Said Tim Baird, superintendent of the Encinitas Union School District, “Our union president is a full-time teacher. She does have some release days in our contract to conduct union business but she seldom uses them. She does not have office space for union business.” Even the larger school districts that serve students from kindergarten through 12th grade have no arrangement as generous as San Dieguito’s, which serves students in grades 7-12. From Rick Grove, an assistant superintendent of the Carlsbad Unified School District, “Our teachers union

Raven at the beach

t Torrey Pines State Beach for a sunset walk, I had just stepped from my car when I saw a raven, full of purpose, flying straight toward me from the south at about eye level. I was transfixed, the moment almost mystical. A few feet short of a beak-to-beak collision, the huge black bird swooped gracefully to the ground, landing lightly about 3 feet from the toes of my boots. Only then did I see the object of his (or her)

affection. Bagel bits had been scattered on the sand by a previous human visitor. Of course, you should not feed wild birds and animals. The raven, as though oblivious to my presence, feasted for several minutes on the bagel fragments, sometimes shaking them in his beak until they broke into edible pieces, sometimes standing on the fragments and breaking bits of them off with his beak. I

president teaches a 40% schedule. We do not provide office space to either labor union.” He added, “The teachers union reimburses the district for all costs associated with the temporary teacher hired to fill the resulting 60% vacancy.” At the Oceanside Unified School District, the contract states that the district “will pay 100 percent of the salary of the Association president.” But the next clause states that “annually after the year of service, the OTA [Oceanside Teachers Association] will reimburse the district for 100 percent of the salary….” From the Poway Unified School District, the communications director wrote in an email that the teachers union president has office space outside the district and “is on full time release.” The district pays her salary, she said, “but then the union reimburses the district part of that.” According to San Dieguito’s current teachers contract, Article 13.01-E states that the San Dieguito Faculty Association shall reimburse the district one-sixth of the total compensation twice a year. But Norton said there is no reimbursement. Nor does the union reimburse the district for the cost of hiring a substitute teacher to teach Croft’s classes, which has cost the district over $124,000 since 2010. Election campaign Two years ago, SDUHSD board member John Salazar wrote to then-superintendent Rick Schmitt, saying, “Stop the insanity and have the union head (Bob Croft) either work as a teacher or have his salary 100% (including benefits) reimbursed to the district by the union. He uses taxpayer money (his salary) to influence campaigns and spread untruths about people (me).” The campaign the union waged against Salazar and fellow board member Mo Muir last year, to get board members Joyce Dalessandro and Beth Hergesheimer re-elected, was unlike anything the district has seen in decades. But Croft was simply doing what any other responsible union leader would do: work to

elect school board members sympathetic to union causes. One might question the tactics, but they were ultimately successful in helping the two incumbents win re-election. When asked why orchestrate an attack against two board members who weren’t up for election, he said it would be dangerous if Muir and Salazar were joined on the board by an ally. Croft admitted that his approach during the campaign was more adversarial than is typical, although he said he prefers the term “more direct.” In many ways, Croft has been a cooperative partner with the district. For example, he agreed recently that tests and quizzes should be allowed to be sent home for parents to review with their children, against the wishes of some teachers. SDUHSD’s Norton praised Croft, calling him “fair and collaborative” and said he is “great to work with.” She said she regularly contacts him on district issues, and “might call him four times a day.” Unions, to be clear, are all about protecting the interests of teachers. Student interests sometimes, but not always, intersect. Croft has been a good union leader for San Dieguito’s teachers. He has done exactly what union leaders are supposed to do: represent teachers well. Big raises came through, and he saw to it that union allies on the school board were re-elected. But it’s those perks that the district has historically provided that make San Dieguito’s relationship with its union unique. A new day is approaching. As the union leadership torch gets passed, the district has an opportunity to re-assess how it plans to do business with the new president. It will be interesting to see if SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill will choose to break with tradition and scale back its generous union president’s benefits — or to continue past practices.

named him “Quoth,” but he said nothing. At this distance I could see every detail. The Common Raven (Corvus corax), with a length of 21-27” is much larger than its cousin, the American Crow (Corvus brachyrhynchos). The raven at rest has the distinctive “goiter” look created by shaggy throat feathers. And the raven has the heavier “Roman nose” bill. Ravens thrive in a wide range of habitats from Canadian tundra through the desert southwest into Central America and across North America, Eurasia and Africa. They can live up to 21 years in the wild, a long time in bird years. They are territorial. Unlike many humans, ravens mate for life – but they quickly find a new mate if the other dies. Ravens share the responsibility of nest building. Both males and females help

rear the young. They provide for their offspring longer than any other bird and often will leave the nest to the young. The sex of a raven cannot be determined from external appearance. By humans. The ravens, apparently, can tell the difference. After a few minutes of feeding, the raven spotted more people food, a whole cracker about 20 feet away on the sand. As he glided away toward this new object of desire, his place among the bagel bits was taken by an ambitious sparrow that attacked the bread fragments with manic vigor. Moments later, she was driven from the feeding ground by another sparrow, but she escaped with a huge chunk of bread in her tiny beak. Gordon Clanton teaches Sociology at San Diego State University.

FROM WATER, A3 reserves that were depleted due to financial hits the district took during the five-year California drought, Deaver said. Those reserves are earmarked for such expenses as capital improvements and rate stabilization, which helps the district keep rates down when revenues are reduced. “Now we need to replenish what we’ve taken. This is the year we start to do that,” Deaver said. The proposed budget for fiscal year 2017-18 calls for adding $3.2 million to the district’s reserves, according to a staff report. The district’s proposed operating budget for the year is $26 million, with $2.84 million planned for capital expenses. Board member David Petree said he was taken aback by the proposed rate hike. “I’ve got to tell you, I found that hard to swallow,” Petree said, suggesting that the district might

consider spreading the reserve contributions over several years to reduce pressure on rates. “That kind of double-digit increase is not going to be viewed very favorably.” Director Augie Daddi said rates are the No.1 issue in the district, which provides water to Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch. “Although I understand the capital issue, we need to pay attention to rates. That’s what our customers are telling us,” Daddi said. Other directors stressed the importance of maintaining the district’s water pipes, pumping stations and other infrastructure, and said that customers are concerned about those issues as well. Director Ken Dunford said the alternative to putting cash aside for capital improvements is to borrow money, which comes with an expensive price tag for interest. According to the staff report, the district did not contribute to its capital improvement reserve fund

FROM GOPHER, A3 Torrey Hills Park is also home to a large empty lot that has sat vacant for the last 19 years. The four-acre parcel is now covered in tall grass. Back in 2002, plans were approved for YMCA of Encinitas to build a recreation center at the park, complete with a swimming pool. In 2007, the YMCA canceled the plans as the facility could not raise enough funds. In 2014, the city proposed a 2,000-square-foot center which could be built

for the past two years. In recent years, the district suffered losses in revenue due to state-imposed mandatory cutbacks in water use, as well as less rainfall to provide cheaper local water. Also, the district did not raise rates for a three-year period immediately preceding the latest rate increases. SFID’s board of directors will revisit the proposed 2018 rate increase later in the year, before the hike takes effect. Board president Michael Hogan recommended that before that discussion, the board also discuss its reserve fund policy. Also at Thursday’s meeting, the board received a report on a 4 percent rate increase for recycled water imposed by its supplier, the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority, which will take effect July 1. SFID will pass along the increase to its recycled water customers. Recycled water receives less treatment than potable, or drinking,

using Torrey Hills development agreement funds. Then in 2015, the YMCA stepped forward again and expressed plans for a new $10 million recreation center on the site. The possible plan is for a 35,000- to 45,000-squarefoot recreation building with a gym and pool, soccer arenas and parking lot. The YMCA would be responsible for the funding. According to Steven Heverly, City Council District 1 representative, San Diego Parks and Recreation Department recently received an amended proposal from the YMCA and is in the process of reviewing it.

water, and can be used for such purposes as landscape irrigation. It is carried in a separate water system with purple pipes. Recycled water accounts for only a fraction of the water sold by SFID. The district’s 55 recycled water customers include Caltrans, which irrigates freeway median landscaping, as well as San Dieguito County Park and local homeowners associations. For the coming year, the district expects to sell 9,000-acre-feet of potable water and 450-acre-feet of recycled water, said the staff report. This represents an 8 percent increase in customer demand, but the total is still lower than pre-drought demand. An acre-foot is equal to 326,000 gallons, and an average California household uses between one-half and a full-acre-foot of water per year for both indoor and outdoor use, according to the nonprofit Water Education Foundation.

The Surfside Race Place was approved in 1991 to hold as many as 5,000 daily visitors, but now struggles to attract one-tenth that number. FROM VENUE, A1 said Stephen Shewmaker, the board’s vice president. “We built this facility to house 5,000 people and we’re not getting 500 people a day inside of it.” Depending on the number of events, the new venue would generate annual profits of between $1.2 million to $2 million, he said. Solana Beach and Del Mar both raised last-minute objections, outlining their concerns in a pair of letters submitted on the eve of the board meeting, and sending councilmembers to make their case in person. Both cities emphasized that they do not object to the concept, but believe that traffic, noise and environmental impacts will be severe enough that the fairgrounds should put the project through a state review under the California Environmental Quality Act and/or the California Coastal Commission. “Think about your neighborhood and the many changes that have occurred over the past 30 years,” said Solana Beach Councilwoman Jewel Edson. “Do you think a study from three decades ago would serve as proper analysis?” The DAA, however, believes those fears will not manifest. “In the scale of events that the fairgrounds has regularly, this is relatively small,” said board member David Watson. “In an odd way, this opposition is the result of our success. Other than the gigantic events like Kaaboo, opening

FROM CLIMATE, A1 December 2015 by enacting a Climate Action Plan that empowers citizens or advocacy groups to sue the city if climate goals aren’t met. Unlike San Diego, Carlsbad, Vista and San Marcos, the climate plan for Solana Beach is not legally binding. “Ours is a guiding document, much like the city of Del Mar’s,” said Dan King, assistant city manager. Officials hope to send the plan to the city council at either the June 26 or July 12 meeting, depending on the number and complexity of comments received, King said. Solana Beach’s plan starts from a baseline in 2010, when a city inventory determined that nearly 140,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide (or its equivalent) is produced by human activity in Solana Beach. By their estimate, that much emissions equates to one car driving 334 million miles, the equivalent of more than 13,000 times around the Earth. The goal is to cut emissions 15 percent by 2020 and 50 percent by 2035. The CAP lays out 30 actions to get there, the five most impactful of which will reduce

day [of race season], a few days during the fair when there’s tens and tens of thousands of people coming, this fairgrounds operates day in day out, every day of the year, sometimes with multiple events, large, small, medium and otherwise, and there’s not a bit of problem, not a bit of controversy, not an issue of any kind. … I just don’t really see the traffic, parking, noise and other impacts that have been identified here today.” Del Mar Mayor Terry Sinnott urged the DAA to slow the process down, provide more detail on the kind of events that will be held there and overall to take better stock of the possible impacts. “We’re not arguing that this is the size of your major events. We’re arguing, I think, that we’ve got to be very careful [that] security, traffic, noise, environmental are properly addressed,” he said. “So we just ask you to make sure that those bases are covered. We’re happy to work with you to try to help that, because we want you to be successful, but we don’t want to be successful at the expense of the surrounding community.” Once time came to vote, Watson reminded his fellow board members that the decision at hand was solely to approve the land use, and that there will be many opportunities in the year ahead to adjust their course on the project. “This is not the final word,” he said. “If at any point in the process … there’s issues or concerns, this board can address them.” Solana Beach’s greenhouse emissions by 40,000 metric tons (nearly 30 percent). Those measures are: electric vehicles and alternative energy transportation; community choice aggregation for the city’s electricity; expansion of residential rooftop solar; diverting 90 percent of solid waste from landfills; and solar water heaters in commercial areas. Transportation is the largest source of greenhouse emissions, comprising 63 percent of the output. Key measures in that sector include steps to encourage 30 percent of all miles driven to be in electric and alternative-energy vehicles, 10 percent of workers commuting via mass transit and 20 percent commuting via vanpools. The other largest greenhouse gas contributors are: electricity (20 percent), natural gas (11 percent), solid waste (3 percent) and water consumption (2 percent). The city council’s May 24 meeting, which occurred after press time, was set to take a crucial step in Solana Beach’s energy future, via a vote on two contracts to pursue “community choice aggregation,” in which the city would sidestep SDG&E and buy electricity from providers that use a higher percentage off renewable energy.

Everlasting memories of loved ones

Marjorie May ‘Marje’ Halterman March 1, 1923 - April 1, 2017

SOLANA BEACH — “It’s not what kind of life one has, it’s how it’s lived.” Marjorie was born in Quincy, IL, on March 1, 1923, daughter to James Franklin “Frank” and Nellie Gray Anderson. The third of seven children growing up in the depression, Marjorie learned early the rhythm of life, constantly gaining experience that was interwoven throughout with joys, sorrows, adaptations, giving, and taking. Marjorie developed a love of art very early. As a second grader, a chalk snow scene of hers was displayed in the city library in Quincy. In high school, the Quincy art school awarded her an art scholarship. Marjorie left Illinois in 1946 for Long Beach,

CA. Here she found employment at the Long Beach Naval Station in bookkeeping and in film retouching. Her classes in early childhood education led to a job as a Head Start teacher. It was in Long Beach that she met and married Jacob Henry Halterman and started a family. Marje spent many summers in the Sierras

with her family, inspiring her love for nature and the outdoors. Marje valued her time as a member of the San Diego Sierra Club. She loved hiking in the mountains and working in the kitchen at the Nature Knowledge Workshop at Foster Point. Marjorie loved gardening and was quite active at Quail Botanical Gardens, now the San Diego Botanic Garden. She took great pride in her own gardens, was an excellent seamstress, and enjoyed corresponding with her family and friends. She lived independently into her 90s. Her many passions played an important role in her volunteer work with the North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach. It was here that she did most of the painting, producing scores of sceneries in

a relationship with the theatre that lasted nearly 35 years. Marjorie is survived by a brother, Carl Anderson; three children, Leslie Klusmire, James Halterman, Lisa Halterman Blackburn; three stepdaughters; and three grandchildren. For those who knew Marjorie, join us for a celebration of her life at the North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach in the Cafe, Saturday June 10, 2017, at 10:30 am. Memorial donations in honor of her passion for the theatre may be made online at northcoastrep. org or Mail: North Coast Repertory Theatre c/o Marjorie Halterman Memorial Fund, 987 Lomas Santa Fe, Suite D, Solana Beach, CA 92075.

County fair will revive San Diego’s ‘Wild West’ roots

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Giddyup, cowpokes: it’s about time to saddle up for the annual stampede that is the San Diego County Fair. This year’s fair opens June 2 and stretches for its customary 26 days, bringing more than a million visitors to the largest event in San Diego County — and one of the five largest fairs in the country. The “Where the West is Fun” theme will harken back to the 1880s, blending historical perspective with pop culture romanticism. “Get ready for 26 days of rootin’ tootin’ stampeding fun!” said Tim Fennell, CEO and general manager of the fairgrounds. “From June 2 through July 4, we’ll be hollering and a-howling from dawn until well after the cows have gone home.” In keeping with the theme, the fair will feature a frontier-era town, replete with a replica saloon, as well as several exhibits from local Native American tribes. Hoping to surpass last year’s bar of all-time high 1.6 million visitors, fair organizers have rolled out a new website, augmented their social media presence and even developed an app that for the first time will let visitors coordinate tickets and travel. All 26 days can be had for only $26, with a spattering of free-entry days. On opening day, members of the military and their families get in free. Entry will be free again on June 8 by bringing clothes between 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. to

And on June 27, children 12 years old and younger get in without charge. As always, the fair is stocked with festivals within festivals. And there’s plenty on tap. including: •The Toast of the Coast wine festival on June 10, with hundreds of vintages on hand for sampling and purchase.

•The San Diego International Beer Festival — hailed as one of the country’s top beer festivals — will take over the Del Mar Arena from June 16 to 18. For those with a taste for the harder stuff, June 24 brings the San Diego Spirit & Cocktail Festival, with 100 handcrafted spirits available for tasting. Another new twist: a speakeasy hidden

away somewhere on the fairgrounds. Patrons at any of the fair’s bars can ask for a special phone number to text and await instructions to a secret elevator that leads to a speakeasy designed to celebrate the Asian immigrant experience of the 19th century. And, of course, what would the fair be if not a chance to expand your culinary horizons — by which we mean waistline. A sampling of this year’s gastronomic creations was on display for reporters last week — tough job —as fair organizers and sponsors whooped up excitement. Leading the way was Chicken Charlie’s, a fair fixture for the past three decades. SEE FAIR, B18

‘Lemonade Stand Cookbook’ stirs up creativity and fun BY KAREN BILLING Just in time for summer, author Kathy Strahs has released “The Lemonade Stand Cookbook.” The book includes crowd-pleasing, kid-tested recipes, crafts and how-tos for a successful sidewalk sale, including twists on classic lemonade with mango and cranberry, Polka Dot Blondies, Lemony Lemon Cupcakes and Chocolate-dipped Marshmallow Pops. A book release event will be held at Mint Studio in Pacific Highlands Ranch in Carmel Valley on Sunday, June 11 from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Kids are welcome to drop by and participate in crafts, taste recipes from the book and get their books signed by Strahs. Twenty percent of the event proceeds will be donated to the Del Mar Schools Education Foundation. Strahs, a food writer and mother of two, is a former Carmel Valley resident. Three years ago the family re-located to Silicon Valley but, thanks to Facebook, Strahs has been able to keep close tabs on Carmel Valley — she still counts the moms she met in her now 9-year-old daughter’s baby playgroup as her closest friends. In 2013 Strahs published her first cookbook, “The Ultimate Panini Press Cookbook”, introducing people to over 200 recipes for one of the most commonly received wedding presents. The book went on to sell nearly 20,000 copies and Strahs decided to start her own food-focused publishing company Burnt Cheese Press in 2015. Her second book, “The 8x8 Cookbook,” is a book that helps adults tackle the challenge of weekday meals — all of the recipes are made in an 8x8 baking dish. The idea for the book came from Strahs always finding family recipes that were written for large casserole dishes that weren’t the right size for her family: “I’d always have to cut down the recipe or store the extras in my freezer, which wasn’t that big!” The 8x8 dish was the perfect size for her family of four and she thinks the square just looks cute on a table. The book is filled with 64 square meals such as baked tortellini alfredo, pan roasted pork chops, Detroit-style deep dish pizza, tamale pie, Greek yogurt and honey cornbread, overnight apple cinnamon rolls and croissant bread pudding with espresso butterscotch sauce. Inspiration for “The Lemonade Stand Cookbook” came knocking at her door last summer in the form of her 6-year-old neighbor, rounding up a crew of kids to man a lemonade stand. Strahs watched as a group of six boys and girls, the oldest being 12 years old, prepared lemonade and muffins and worked tirelessly for four hours. She loved that it was four hours off of their television, computer and phone screens and that at the end of the day each young entrepreneur came home with a hard-earned $12. “I thought this is incredible, that a group of kids collaborated and got creative,” Strahs said. The kids have gathered together

subsequently and raised money for causes with their stands. “I thought, as a mom, a cookbook author and an MBA, I can help these guys. Here’s an opportunity to do cooking and crafting from scratch and use it for good,” Strahs said. There are multiple variations of lemonade in the book as well as how-tos for cold-brew ice tea, watermelon agua fresca, smoothies and hot cocoa for cold-weather sales. Sweet treats include cereal treats, cookies, Blueberry Lemon Muffins and Mini Jam Hand Pies. She has also included recipes for no-bake trail mix bars and Owen’s Cheddar Chompers, named for a 7-year-old taster, which are an “addicting” home-made version of Cheeze-It crackers. Every recipe and craft is step-by-step illustrated so it’s easy for kids to understand. For the crafts included in the book, Strahs said she avoided getting too “Pinteresty” and was conscious to pick crafts that are very simple for kids to do. Colorful fun washi tape is used to decorate cups, make straw flags. Some crafts have the potential to be sold at the stand, including Friendship Bracelets and Haley’s Felt Flower Pencils, a craft she learned from her daughter. Strahs also offers kids guidance on pricing and essentials for a successful sale. She also talks about safety and included a section titled “Helping Others One Glass at a Time,” which offers tips for charity sales. The colorful book is filled with photos of real stands at work and kids making and taste-testing the recipes, as well as lots of funny, silly quotes and tips from the mouths of babes. “It’s fun above all else,” Strahs said. The book is available on amazon.com, BN.com and burntcheesepress.com. Mint Studio is located in the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch, 5965 Village Way suite E105, San Diego, 92130.

Mainly Mozart opens festival season with ‘The Work at Hand’

Mezzo-soprano Deborah Nansteel

BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Mainly Mozart, now beginning its 29th season, has a lot going on in June. Their theme this year, as part of a six-year exploration of Mozart’s life, is “Beauty through Adversity,” and one of the highlights is “The Work at Hand,” a song cycle by composer Jake Heggie set to poems by Laura Morefield, daughter of local poet/arts writer Charlene Baldridge. It will be featured in a pair of concerts in Rancho Santa Fe and La Jolla June 2 and 3. Morefield, who died of colon cancer in 2011, chronicled her

dying — or more accurately, her living process — right up to the end. Like her mother, she was a former banker-turned-poet; Heggie, best known for his operas, is also a prolific composer of art songs, and had previously set several of her mother’s poems to music. Morefield met him, saw two of his operas, and shortly before she died, sent him her 10 favorite poems. When Carnegie Hall and the Pittsburgh Symphony commissioned a piece from him, he decided to do one that featured her passionate and touching

poetry, which he called “shatteringly beautiful.” It would be a concerto for soprano, cello and orchestra. A chamber version of “The Work at Hand” premiered at Carnegie Hall in February, 2015. That May, it went on to Pittsburgh, where it was conducted, with full orchestra, by Mainly Mozart’s maestro, Michael Francis. Here, as the centerpiece of two different programs, it will be performed with violin, cello and piano at the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club and The Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla, as SEE MAINLY MOZART, B19

Mingei Museum eyes Breeders’ Cup with equestrian exhibit FROM MINGEI REPORTS An original exhibition of objects that celebrate the nobility, speed, power and serviceability of horses, bullocks (steer) and camels from across the globe is up at Mingei International Museum in Balboa Park through Nov. 12. “TRAPPINGS: Homage to the Horse and other Steeds,” is timed with this year’s Del Mar Thoroughbred Club race season and the first ever Breeders’ Cup event in November at the Del Mar track. Pulled from the Museum’s permanent collection and private lenders, this original exhibition will highlight classic horse figures and accoutrement of Asia and

Europe; clay and wood horses of India; and artifacts of U.S., Native American and Mexican horse culture. Trappings for bullocks from Afghanistan to Indonesia, and camel trappings from Asia to the Middle East will also be shown, including a group of Iranian saddlebags. San Diego hosted the equestrian events of the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, during which time Mingei presented “The Horse in Fold Art.” This new exhibit will provide another experience through which to appreciate the beauty and nobility of fascinating creatures profoundly connected to the daily and festival rounds of human communities.

Dad has a thousand fond memories of you. Let’s make 1,001.

Also on view (through Oct. 8) is the Mingei exhibit “KANBAN: Traditional Shop Signs of Japan.” It provides a tantalizing look at this fusion of art, design and commerce with Japanese shop signs in a variety of lively forms and mediums. The Kanban, alongside archival photographs and actual shop goods, provide a rare opportunity to imagine walking and shopping through a market of “old Japan.” — Mingei International Museum is open 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday. Closed Mondays at 1439 El Prado in Balboa Park, San Diego. Admission: $7-$10. Free third Tuesdays of the month. (619) 239-0003. mingei.org

‘Game of Thrones’ meets ‘Mars Trilogy’

Two great writers talk fantasy at UC San Diego event BY WILL BOWEN It would be hard to deny our flourishing fascination with all things fantastical if you were at UC San Diego’s Price Center West, May 2, when fantasy writer George R.R. Martin (affectionately know as “GRRM”) and sci-fi writer and UCSD alumni Kim Stanley Robinson spoke to a sold-out audience of some 1,000 fans. The event was a madhouse. The line to get in wrapped around the building and people came early vying for the best seats. Tickets were $20 a piece and sold out immediately. The proceeds will be used to support the Clarion Science Fiction Writers Workshop, held every summer on campus. Martin, a fantasy novelist, short story writer, screenwriter and television producer, may be best-known for his epic novels in the series “A Song of Ice and Fire,” which were adapted to become HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” Now in its fourth year, “Game of Thrones” has become the television show with the most nominations in Emmy history. In 2016, it won for Best Drama, Best Dramatic Writing, Best Director and Best Supporting Actor, along with 12 other technical Emmys, for things like lighting and sound production. Martin was joined on stage by Robinson, who is best-known for his “Mars Trilogy,” a collection of books about what colonization and life on the red planet might be like for the human species. The trilogy is a metaphor for three possible futures the State of California could experience. The evening began with Professor Sheldon Brown, head of the Arthur C. Clarke Center for Imagination on campus, introducing the festivities. Brown got a rousing round of applause with lots of whoops and hollers. He dealt with the adulation by jokingly remarking, “This is the welcome I usually get in all my classes!” He went on to say that the Clarke Center is interested in creativity and imagination — two skills well developed in science fiction and fantasy writing, which are based on the creation of imaginary worlds.

Martin explained that the flip could be traced to a review by the great writer Henry James, who compared Robert Lewis Stevenson’s “Treasure Island” with another FARSHID BAZMANDEGAN George R.R.

University, where he earned his Bachelor’s and Master’s Martin pointed to the similarities between sci-fi and degrees. Martin spent most of the 1980s writing for fantasy, calling them “two flavors of the same thing.” Hollywood and in 1991, began writing his magnum opus “A Robinson added that humans are deeply steeped in Song of Fire and Ice.” He has accumulated many honors, fantasy because every night when we dream, our mind including several Hugo Awards. creates three or four scenarios that are “fantasy-like.” He said his teacher at UCSD, the politically-oriented literary Streeby said that Robinson graduated with a Ph.D. in Literature from UCSD.

Seaside Center to host medium Van Praagh Seaside Center for Spiritual Living will host James Van Praagh, internationally respected spiritual pioneer, best-selling author and one of the world’s most celebrated mediums, on June 30 at 7 p.m. Van Praagh’s 2016 performance at Seaside Center sold out before the event. His appearances feature an insight into the mind-full awareness on the subject of “communication with the dead” that Van Praagh has shepherded into the public psyche for the past thirty years. Lynn Probert, another internationally respected psychic medium and teacher, will join Van Praagh for an unforgettable evening of insights and inspiration. Attendees will be amazed when they see James select people from the audience to participate in the calling of spirits. When two gifted mediums come together, you can look forward to an evening full of insights and inspiration. Your feelings about death — and life — will be forever changed as Probert and Van Praagh deliver messages of love, comfort, forgiveness and joy weaved through the evidential memories and specific details the spirit people wish to impart.

Over the years, Van Praagh’s work has brought spiritual insights to millions with his numerous guest appearances on TV, including Oprah, Dr. Phil, Larry King Live, 20/20, The View, and The Today Show. He’s also an internationally renowned #1 New York Times bestselling author of Talking to Heaven, Reaching to Heaven, Healing Grief, Heaven and Earth, Adventures of the Soul, Looking Beyond, and many more. “Seaside Center has been privileged to welcome some really incredible performers and speakers over the years including Deepak Chopra, Michael Bernard Beckwith and Mariel Hemingway. We are a Center for the expansion of spiritual awakening and that comes in all creative forms,” said Rev. Dr. Christian Sorensen, Spiritual Leader of Seaside.

One year ago the San Diego Parkinson’s Association was moments away from closing its doors. They laid off their staff and were calling it quits. A group of volunteers stepped in and stated this was unacceptable. The San Diego Parkinson’s Association provides services and referrals for the 60,000 people afflicted with this disease in San Diego County right now. Walk Chairman Dr. Wayne Label commented, “If we had shut down operations we would be one of the few cities in the United States without a Parkinson’s Association.” The purpose of this walk is to raise money for the upcoming year’s operations with a slimmed down staff and a large group of volunteers. ACADIA Pharmaceuticals will Partner with the Parkinson’s Association, and be the Title sponsor for the Wal. Register for the event at: parkinsonsassociation.org.

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. Chances are that one or more aspects of your life are suffering because of your lack of fulfillment. Perhaps you rarely see your family because your working hours are demanding; maybe your career is at a standstill because of your family commitments; perhaps you barely have time for yourself because of both and so you’re unable to give your career or family the attention they deserve. You feel caught between a rock and a hard place. We get it!We at Moms Making Six Figures are here to tell you that you don’t have to stay stuck. You can take back control of your life and do what’s right for you and your family. Work-life balance is within reach!

Notre Dame Academy First Holy Communion celebration

otre Dame Academy’s 2nd grade students and families joyfully celebrated their First Holy Communion on May 13. Father Nick Dempsey was the officiate of their Sacrament held at St. Therese of Carmel Church in Carmel Valley. Every year NDA families gather together following the ceremony to commemorate this important milestone with a “student-inspired” reception. This year the celebration was held at Fairbanks Ranch Country Club with entertainment provided by Xtreme Fun. Although the reception was “student-inspired,” the parents enjoyed the games and cupcakes as much as their children. Notre Dame Academy provides a strong academic education in a vibrant Catholic culture for students in Preschool through 8th grade. Online: www.delmartimes.net

What’s Your Culinary I.Q.? — The Answers

will now hand feed you the answers to last week’s Culinary I.Q. Quiz. Take your time to digest them well.

True/False

1. Baking soda and baking powder can be used interchangeably. False. Not all leavening agents are created equal. Baking soda is pure sodium bicarbonate, a base that needs to be balanced with an acid like buttermilk to counter its acerbic taste. Baking powder, on the other hand, is both a base and an acid (sodium bicarbonate, cream of tartar and starch), and should be blended with another neutral substance like milk. Baking soda is the go-to leavening agent for cookies, while baking powder is used in cakes and biscuits. 2. All fruits and vegetables continue to ripen after picking. False. Most stone fruits including peaches, plums, and apricots, along with mangoes, pears, bananas, avocados, and tomatoes will further ripen after picking. Others, especially berries, citrus and watermelon will not ripen further once harvested, so pick wisely. 3. Nectarines are a hybrid cross between a peach and a plum. False.

Gouge and discard any “eyes” before cooking since these contain a mild toxin the plant creates to protect its offspring. 5. Tomatoes have more cancer fighting lycopenes when cooked. True. Since these lovely fruits are also fat soluble, blend with a healthy vegetable oil or cheese to boost the bio-availability of this mighty antioxidant. 6. Avocados are loaded with artery clogging, transfatty monsters. False. Avocados are a cholesterol-free food with heart-healthy mono and polyunsaturated fats. They also contain glutathione, an

antioxidant that actually blocks absorption of fats by the intestine. 7. Braising and sautéing are similar cooking methods for tenderizing meats. False. Braising first sears the meat at high temperatures, then slowly cooks it at lower temperatures in a liquid, such as a stock or wine in a covered vessel like a Dutch oven. Sautéing uses high heat and fat in a shallow pan. 8. Sweet potatoes are also called yams. False. These tuber doppelgangers aren’t even related — the sweet potato belongs to the morning glory family, while the yam, which is larger, sweeter and less nutritional than its look-a-like is a lily. 9. Peanuts are botanically a legume, not a nut. True. Other popular legumes include lentils, peas and carob. 10. To “shock” green vegetables means to place them in an icy bath to halt the cooking process so they maintain their bright green hue and al dente texture. True.

Multiple Choice

1. Cage free eggs come from c) chickens allowed to romp around the barn, not to be confused with free-range chickens that roam freely outdoors. 2. The most widely consumed fish throughout the world is c) herring. This cold water, oily fish loaded with heart-healthy omega 3’s is commonly smoked or pickled in sour cream or wine, the latter preferable for the cholesterol-conscious. 3. Authentic mozzarella from southern Italy is made with milk from d) water buffalo, more easily digestible than mozzarella from cow’s milk. 4. The “Dirty Dozen” refers to b) 12 foods with high-pesticide residues that should be

FROM FAIR, B2 Their new offerings this year will include bacon-wrapped chicken legs and an Italian meatball slathered in peanut butter and sweet batter, then deep-fried and drizzled with peanut sauce. But by far their biggest draw was a caloric monstrosity the likes of which has never been seen. Charlie Boghosian and crew conjured up a fried chicken patty topped with a two-inch-thick puck of Blue Bunny vanilla ice cream, nestled betwixt a splayed-open Krispy Kreme donut, all of it drizzled in syrup, topped with Fruity Pebbles and dusted with a puff of powdered sugar. The “sandwich” — if it can even be called that — is the latest evolution of Chicken Charlie’s signature creation, the Krispy Kreme chicken sandwich that brought Boghosian widespread acclaim 12 years ago. With more than 30 county fairs under his belt, Boghosian was

substituted for their organic equivalents (strawberries, spinach, apples, grapes, peaches, tomatoes, celery, cherries, cucumber, potatoes, bell peppers and nectarines). 5. A good digestive aid is e) all of the above, including mustard seeds, fennel, cumin and fresh ginger. 6. “Aioli” translates to b) garlic oil; creamy like mayonnaise, but more sophisticated with flavors reminiscent of the Mediterranean coast. Aioli is traditionally prepared with a mortar and pestle, pulverizing garlic cloves then whisking with extra virgin olive oil, egg yolks, lemon juice and seasonings to create a versatile condiment. 7. A splash of this liquid prevents cut apples from turning brown, while keeping guacamole green a) lemon juice.

1. Protein found in common grains and their hybrids d) gluten. 2. An herb and sibling to carrots, cumin and cilantro f) celery. 3. Gourd containing 95 percent water e) cucumber. 4. High smoke point oil ideal for sautéing and frying i) safflower oil. 5. This butter-free of common dairy allergens, lactose, hydrogenated oils, and trans fats g) Ghee. 6. A rich store of minerals in this seasoning boost libido, immune and skeletal systems and regulate heartbeat and sleep patterns a) Pink Himalayan salt. 7. Having more Vitamin C than oranges, and as much calcium as milk, this anti-cancer warrior is most potent raw c) broccoli. 8. The authentic Greek salad does not contain b) Romaine lettuce. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

pondering a few weeks ago how he could possibly raise the culinary bar yet again, and he teemed with pride as he handed over the plate. “When I first took a bite — the very, very first time I had ice cream and chicken in the same bite — my mind stopped working,” he said. “Two or three seconds later I thought ‘What did I just eat, it’s amazing, I can’t wait for everyone to try it.’” If music is more your bag, this year’s headline acts in the Toyota Summer Concert Series include Toby Keith, Patti LaBelle, Darius Rucker, Frankie Valli and the Four Seasons, Leann Rimes, Switchfoot, Grand Funk Railroad and Collective Soul. On the comedy side, catch Trevor Noah, host of The Daily Show, on June 27 and Jeff Foxworthy on July 1. And lest there be misgivings that the fair is all booze and bands, fair organizers played up the tried and true classics that fairgoers have come to

count on. Top billing goes to 4H, the Future Farmers of America and the junior livestock auction, the fine art and photography exhibit, the ever-popular flower and garden show, and the exhibit California Grown, which will put on display how agriculture has evolved into its modern forms. “It is a wonderful tradition that reminds us of our agricultural roots as we become a more urban environment,” Schenk said. All of it culminates with a patriotic blowout celebration. “On the Fourth of July, we plan to celebrate in grand fashion,” Fennell said, with a parade into the grandstand for a show that will include a World Trade Center first responder and the oldest living survivor of Pearl Harbor, “followed by the best fireworks in San Diego.” The fair is closed on the first four Mondays (June 5, 12, 19 and 26) and the first three Tuesdays (June 6, 13 and 20).

Morefield’s words will be sung by young mezzo-soprano Deborah Nansteel, who, later this month, in Newfoundland, will sing the role of Sister Helen Prejean in Heggie’s opera “Dead Man Walking.” According to Mainly Mozart’s executive director Nancy Laturno Bojanic, this is the first time the same piece will be heard in two Spotlight concerts. “In the Spotlight series, all the programs are always completely different,” she said. “But patrons at both venues really wanted to do ‘The Work at Hand,’ since it’s such an important piece and so tied in with this year’s theme of Beauty through Adversity.” Many other interesting events are featured

FROM WRITERS, B5 would-be writers of both: “The setting is of utmost importance.” He said he loved creating different castles and clans just to his liking. “One of the things I explore in my writing is the issue of ‘power,’ ” he said. “The quest for power occurs throughout our daily lives with people in all walks of life and in all situations fighting over the tiniest scraps of power. People everywhere want to tell others what to do, but do not want to be told what to do.” Martin said he is also interested in the age-old question of good versus evil. “Nothing nor nobody is all good or all bad. We are a mixture. Sometimes we do good things and sometimes we do bad things.

There is always a choice to be made,” he argued. “Science fiction and fantasy, owing in large part to their ability to tell a good story, have conquered the world, taking over television and becoming a major genre of literature of significant stature that should be investigated by all.” After the presentation, the line to buy Martin’s and Robinson’s books numbered beyond 100 people. Amber Atizado, who was at the lecture with her mother and brother, bought all nine of Martin’s books, spending $387! “I have been saving up to buy these books tonight and I bought an extra book for my brother,” she said with a smile. “I’m going to add these books to my collection. I bought them because I love a good story.”
