Del Mar charts path on short-term rentals

BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Del Mar has taken the first step in its piecemeal plan to laying out a new regime for regulating — and limiting — short-term rentals (STR’s), with an eye toward having a firm policy by October and possible state review at the end of this year.

In the first of two STR sessions, the city council on Monday, June 18, instructed city staff to work up language on prohibiting homeowners from renting out their home in fewer than seven-day increments for a total not-to-exceed 28 days in a calendar year.

Homeowners will need to register for a yet-to-be-crafted city permit and must provide off-street parking for their guests. Renters will

be limited to two per bedroom. The city will also develop a “good neighbor policy” and urge — but not require — renters and homeowners to abide by it.

Seasonal rentals — defined as a single rental lasting more than 30 days — will not be subject to the regulations.

With such a framework in place, Deputy Mayor Dwight Worden described a scenario in which a homeowner could rent out their home for the two-month horseracing season and still use their 28-day STR allotment as they saw fit — effectively covering an entire summer.

“This provides flexibility and a real ability for our residents … to garner some significant SEE RENTALS, A23

SD City Council boots SoccerCity to 2018 vote

BY KAREN BILLING After four and a half hours of public testimony on June 19, San Diego City Council voted 8-0 to place the SoccerCity initiative on the November 2018 ballot, instead of the 2017 special election that FS Investors were shooting for to bring a Major League Soccer team to San Diego.

BY SEBASTIAN MONTES It has stood guard over Fletcher Cove for more than 70 years, but its reign atop the bluff is coming to an end.

With nearly every feature long having exceeded its useful life, the Solana Beach Marine Safety Center is heading toward a date with a bulldozer after the city council last week decided that two other options weren’t up to snuff.

The council on Wednesday, June 14, heard a long-awaited report on three paths forward for the city’s lifeguard headquarters: Option 1, a cluster of modular structures; Option 2, renovate and expand the existing building; and Option 3, tearing the whole thing down to start anew. After hearing the presentation, councilmembers were unanimous: the facility is too inadequate and the risks of renovating it are too high to pursue anything other than a total rebuild.

“I hope we build it, and I hope we build it now,” said Councilwoman Judy Hegenauer. “We’ve been talking about this for pretty much as long as I can remember. I’m afraid to not do it. I could see the next council in 20 years, 30 years, not being able to SEE LIFEGUARD, A21

Police matrix determines level of force for a given situation

BY JOE TASH When an apparently armed suspect fails to follow the orders of police officers and instead acts in a threatening manner, the officers may have only a fraction of a second to act to protect themselves and others.

That was the situation that confronted two San Diego police officers in the early morning of May 6, when a 15-year-old Torrey Pines High School student pulled what appeared to be a black handgun out of his waistband and pointed it toward the officers.

The confrontation took place in front of the school. When the boy ignored what police said were repeated commands to drop the gun — which later turned out to be a BB air pistol — and instead pointed the gun at one of the officers while walking toward him, the officers

fired at the youth, killing him.

In such situations, police rely on a “matrix of force,” which lays out the appropriate actions to take in response to escalating actions by suspects, said SDPD Capt. Mark Capt. Mark Hanten Hanten, who until recently was the top police official at the department’s Northwestern Division office, which serves Carmel Valley and surrounding communities.

The idea of the matrix, which is taught to officers as part of their training in the use of force, is that officers will use the least amount

of force necessary to achieve their goal of taking control of a suspect.

The emphasis, Hanten said, is on de-escalating a situation. “It’s a philosophy of using the minimum amount of force necessary to accomplish the goal. That’s what we’re trying to do whenever we have to use force, use the minimum amount.”

The key is that police response is matched to a “continuum” of behavior by suspects, said Hanten. For example, when a suspect responds to verbal commands, no force is needed and the subject can be brought under control.

Suspect actions escalate from passive to active resistance, to assaultive behavior, to life-threatening behavior, such as pointing a gun at an officer.

Church, school roiled over visits by man accused in child pornography case

BY JOE TASH Parents and parishioners at a local Catholic church and adjacent school are up in arms about regular weekly visits to the church by horse ranch owner Christian Clews, who faces federal charges of possessing and distributing child pornography.

According to a court document, Clews, owner and operator of Clews Horse Ranch, has been attending services at St. Therese of Carmel Catholic Church for about 25 years, a practice that has continued since he was charged in the child pornography case in

December. Typically, said the order filed by Magistrate Judge Andrew Schopler, Clews attends services on Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday mornings.

A hearing to discuss Clews’ church attendance was held in Schopler’s courtroom on Monday, June 12. “Many members of both the church and Notre Dame Academy communities are concerned about Clews’ proximity to children on campus during his religious observances,” Schopler wrote in an order issued after the hearing, in which the judge allowed Clews to continue

his church visits for the time being, under a set of restrictions. Those restrictions dictate what time Clews must arrive at the church before services, and mandate that he must be accompanied by a church staff member at all times.

A hearing to further discuss Clews’ attendance at the church, and other potential changes to the conditions set by the court that allow him to remain out of custody while awaiting trial, is set for Thursday, June 22.

Court documents reveal that Clews’ presence at the church, which shares a parking lot with the

school, has roiled the community at St. Therese and Notre Dame Academy.

According to Schopler’s order, an attorney for the school testified June 12 there has been a “significant drop-off in attendance” at the school, which the attorney attributed to Clews’ presence.

“A number of parents chose to keep their children home or drop them off at school much later, to avoid any possible overlap with Clews when he is worshiping. The attorney feared Clews’ continued SEE CLEWS, A20

Del Mar cracks down on leash laws; pet owners howling

BY PHIL DIEHL Dog-friendly Del Mar has been cracking down on off-leash canines, prompting an outcry among pet owners and a petition calling for new rules.

Pets are barred from running free during the busy summer season at the city’s popular Dog Beach, and leashes are required year-round on other city beaches — though officials haven’t always enforced those regulations. A wave of complaints about unruly dogs and feces on the beach led to the recent crackdown, lifeguards said.

When Scott MacDonald — a retired corporate executive who walks his dog Sadie on the beach most mornings — launched a petition on Change.org asking the city to loosen the off-leash reins and expand the areas and hours where dogs are allowed, more than 1,000 people signed on.

“I’m kind of shocked,” MacDonald said. “I had no idea this many people would respond.”

Dog owner Janet Holcomb said the recent crackdown caught everyone by surprise. “(The leash law) has not been enforced for 40 years, and it’s not been an issue,” said Holcomb, who has lived in the city since 1971. “It has only become an issue in the last few months.”

HAYNE PALMOUR IV / SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE

Lilly, left, looks at another dog at Dog Beach in Del Mar. “We just want to share” the sand, said Holcomb, who has an 18-month-old Labradoodle named Chewy.

Lifeguards recently stepped up enforcement because of a number of complaints, said Senior Lifeguard Tyler Grant.

Violators are warned once or twice, he said, and then they may be issued a citation or asked to leave. The citation could carry a fine of $250 or more.

In some cases there have been confrontations and even assaults involving dog owners. Deputies were called in some instances, Grant said, though so far there have been no reports of injuries or charges filed.

“We consider our beaches to be pretty friendly,” Grant said, but “it gets complicated when you have dogs all over the place.”

While the city allows dogs

on all its two miles of beaches during certain times of the year, the laws vary by location and season.

Least restrictive is Dog Beach, which starts at 29th Street and goes north to the Solana Beach border. There dogs are allowed to run free, controlled only by their owner’s voice, from the day after Labor Day through June 15. On June 16 through Labor Day, dogs must be on leashes.

MacDonald said a key portion of that area is underwater at high tide, which coincides with the time many pet owners want to take their animals out. He is asking the city to allow off-leash dogs before 8 a.m. year-round north of 20th Street, and on leashes from 20th south to Seagrove Park.

“It’s a long beach,” he said.

“There should be room for SEE DOGS, A21

First sketches for Del Mar downtown facelift to emerge next month

Water board OKs budget containing rate increase

BY JOE TASH The Santa Fe Irrigation District board unanimously approved a budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1 at its meeting on Thursday, June 15. The $30.1 million spending plan includes a rate increase of about 12 percent that will take effect on Jan. 1, 2018.

The rate increase includes 9 percent imposed by Santa Fe, plus a “pass through” of about 3 percent based on increases in water costs from the district’s suppliers, said Michael Bardin, Santa Fe general manager.

District officials have said the water agency’s financial position is improved this year, thanks to abundant rain that provided cheaper local water, an increase in customer demand due to the elimination of water-use restrictions as the state’s drought ended, and two 9 percent rate increases already instituted in January and last June.

The district plans to use its additional revenue this year to beef up its reserves, which were depleted during the drought, as water use and sales were cut back dramatically and rainfall was scarce. District officials said during a budget report last month that about $3.2 million will be earmarked for reserves in the new budget.

Although the budget does assume the district will impose a 9 percent rate increase Jan. 1, 2018 as contained in a three-year rate plan approved by the board in 2016, the board will discuss the rate increase later this year before it takes effect.

The Santa Fe Irrigation District provides water to customers in Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch.

Dance studios forced to leave Sorrento Valley

Royal Academy of Performing Arts, Del Mar Ballet to merge in Carmel Valley

BY KAREN BILLING In the largest dance studio at Royal Academy of Performing Arts, young dancers tap, twirl, leap and dance on pointe in a big, vibrant recreation of a number from the musical “La La Land” for their upcoming annual recital.

In the next state-of-the-art studio over, little tykes in tutus finish up a beginning ballet class as parents watch classes in action from a roomy parent lounge.

All of it has been owner Francine Garton’s dream, finally realized in 2014 when she moved to the large Sorrento Valley space from the studio she had outgrown in Carmel Valley.

Less than three years after moving in, she will now be forced to leave it all behind.

In February, Royal Academy of Performing Arts, Del Mar Ballet and Inspired Movement were all notified by the city’s Development Services Department that they were in violation of the zoning.

Both Royal Academy of Performing Arts (RAPA) and Del Mar Ballet must be out of their studios by July 31.

“My world fell apart,” Garton said of receiving the notice. “I can talk about it now because I feel like I’m numb.”

Veteran conquers 81-mile Badwater race for fellow wounded warriors

BY KAREN BILLING It was Ben Brown’s feet that gave him away as a runner.

As he built gingerbread houses in his daughter’s classroom at R. Roger Rowe School in Rancho Santa Fe last December, fellow gingerbread craftsman and ultrarunner Mike Trevino noticed the signs of feet that had put in some serious mileage. Trevino asked Brown “Do you run?” and the two stuck up a conversation, finding out that they both took to running late at night when they had trouble sleeping.

A former Army Ranger and Purple Heart recipient, Brown’s sleepless nights came when he couldn’t block out the sounds and images of IED explosions, fire fights and putting his brothers-in-arms in body bags. He would throw on his shoes in the middle of the night and run around the golf course until he got tired and his mind quieted, sometimes for three-hour spells.

On their first eight-mile running “date” together, Trevino, who once ran 275 miles nonstop down the coast of California and was the winner of the 2001 Badwater 135-mile ultramarathon, asked Brown if he would be interested in running April’s 81-mile Badwater Salton Sea race with him.

The difficult route covers 81 miles through desert and mountains, from below sea level in Salton City, over Anza-Borrego Desert State Park and finishing with a climb up Palomar Mountain, a total elevation gain of over 9,000 feet. Brown had only run a 50 mile-ultra before but nonetheless he agreed with an “OK cool,” figuring he could get

Three weeks before the race, the two-man team roped in “someone even crazier” than the two of them: Katya Meyers, a 36-year-old professional triathlete and ultrarunner from Solana Beach. It was a wild idea for Meyers, as well, since the longest run she’d ever done

was 50 miles (one 50-mile race came just weeks after giving birth) and she was set to fly to India the morning after the Badwater finish but, nonetheless, she was in.

The lead-up training to Badwater was not ideal for all three runners. Meyers only had the three weeks to train and Brown had to take off the month of February after hurting his achilles tendon. In his six weeks of training Brown got in a 26- and 30-mile run but only two more runs with Trevino, who came down with pneumonia before the race and had to take off the month of March.

The team was able to battle together and finished third in the mixed division and seventh overall in 19 hours and 38 minutes.

For Brown, 35, the race was a chance not only to cross an item off his ultrarunning bucket list but it was also an opportunity to raise awareness and funds for his nonprofit, the 9 Week Warrior Challenge.

At no cost to the veteran, they get nine weeks of personal training, massage, nutritional support/planning, constitutional homeopathic treatment, yoga and acupuncture. After his military service, Brown struggled with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and traumatic brain injury and at his lowest low was suicidal. He was able to find his “why” that helped bring him out of his lowest point in life — his wife Chondra, his five beautiful children, coaching sports, running, weight training and helping others.

“Not everyone has had the ability to find their ‘why.’ I am committed to helping our nation’s heroes find their ‘why.’ We have lost

too many, we continue to lose too many, and too many are lost trying to find any solid plan of how to care for their minds and bodies. They need to heal,” Brown said. “My whole goal to run the race was to do it because I can. More than a handful of great guys don’t have two legs and can’t run this race, why not do it for them?”

With the Badwater race, Brown raised over $27,000 for 9 Week Warrior.

Fitness has always been a big part of Brown’s life. After graduating from Torrey Pines High School, he played lacrosse and participated in Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC) at Providence College — he was drawn to the Army’s opportunities to jump out of planes at Airborne School, become an expert with demolitions and receive small unit patrol tactics at the prestigious U.S. Army Ranger School.

“Not only did I want to serve, but I felt this calling to serve in the most challenging and dangerous capacity that I was able, as a Ranger,” Brown said. “After successfully graduating Army Ranger, Sapper, and Airborne schools, I realized at that point, I had learned more about myself and life in general within that short year than all of my previous 21 years lumped together. I felt confident in any situation that I was placed in.”

Brown served as an officer in Iraq, leading a platoon of soldiers, some of whom had been in the Army longer than he was alive.

Brown deployed in 2004 and was in Iraq for 15 months straight — he led extremely SEE VETERAN, A23

TPHS twins overcome huge challenges to thrive in a variety of ways Taylor and Zac Scornavacco excel thanks to hard work, family and community support

BY GIDEON RUBIN Taylor and Zac Scornavacco were too young to lose their father. The twins, among four siblings, were 11-year-old sixth graders when Michael Scornavacco died of pancreatic cancer in 2011.

Their mother, Nancy Scornavacco, faced financial hardships amid the Great Recession that compounded the challenges her family faced. How her children would handle those challenges, she acknowledged, at the time was an open question.

“Adversity can go many ways for young kids,” she said. “You never know how people are going to handle things.”

Michael Scornavacco is still missed.

But earlier this month, the family marked an important milestone on a difficult road they believe honors their father’s legacy.

The Scornavacco twins proudly wore caps and gowns at a Torrey Pines High School graduation ceremony that sent Taylor and Zac to college with distinction.

Taylor, a Stanford-bound lacrosse standout, was named the school’s Female Athlete of the Year after leading the Falcons to an unbeaten season that culminated with a state

championship and a ranking atop the MaxPreps.com national poll.

Zac has made his mark in student government at Torrey Pines and is a recipient of four leadership awards, including the prestigious Hunt Leadership Award at Southern Methodist University.

He received a full academic scholarship to SMU. “It was a very incredible experience to me personally” Zac said. “The point where I was in seventh grade when I lost my dad to the point where I was at graduation was just an incredible transformation.

“Just being able to see myself at that point graduating and getting that diploma and accepting the individual I was then and the man I grew into was remarkable to me.”

The graduation moment was the culmination of sacrifice and resourcefulness.

Their older brother, Jake, was a 14-year-old rising golf star at the time of their father’s death. He put his golfing career aside to help run a family business, Sweet Things Frozen Yogurt (their father had always called his children “sweet things”).

“He gave it all up instead to take over our family business so that me

worry about working too much during school and be able to focus on our athletics and academics,” Taylor said. “For me, I always felt that was a gift I would never be

able to repay, so I really wanted to make the most of the time that my brother gave me and my mom gave me.”

She and her brother’s dogged determination paid off.

Taylor was a competitive softball player who hadn’t even picked up a lacrosse stick until the summer before her freshman year. She caught the attention of Stanford coaches the following year, and emerged as one of nation’s top players in less than three years.

She led the Falcons to a state championship, with the team going 22-0 and finishing the season ranked No. 1 in the nation in MaxPreps’ ranking. Taylor was a two-time San Diego Section Player of the Year.

Zac was a recipient of the school’s Golden Falcon award for boys in academic leadership.

He was elected class president his junior year and the student body president his senior year.

He was also a recipient of the Global Leadership Connection Award, and Torrey Pines’ Harvard Leadership Award, sending him to the East Coast on paid trips to Washington, D.C. and Cambridge, Mass.

Casa de Amistad, a nonprofit tutoring and mentoring program, is committed to serving underserved families in North Coastal San Diego. Casa de Amistad serves over 240 students in preschool through 12th grade on a weekly basis. On June 1, however, 12 of Casa de Amistad’s high school seniors were the night’s main focus.

These 12 seniors were invited, along with their families and mentors, for a dinner aptly named Casa de Amistad’s Future Leaders Scholarship Dinner. In 2016, a generous gift from an anonymous donor led to the creation of Casa de Amistad’s first scholarship fund from which the dinner received its name: the Future Leaders Scholarship Fund.

The Future Leaders Scholarship Fund, is directed by a committee of Casa de Amistad volunteers. The purpose of the fund is to offer financial assistance to graduating seniors who will be headed to a community college or four year university. This year, Casa de Amistad awarded $60,000 in scholarships.

At this year’s Future Leaders Scholarship Dinner, students planning to attend community college (Mira Costa College across the board) received $500 scholarships, while students attending four-year universities representing schools such as CSU San Marcos, CSU Dominguez Hills, and

UC Riverside received $6,000 scholarships.

The difference in awards is due to the new campaign offered by MiraCosta Community College, called the Mira Costa Promise.

Under the Promise, the first year at the school would be covered financially, in addition to receiving resources and funding

towards books and other supplies.

In addition to monetary awards, students received brand new Apple MacBook Air computers. Students arrived to the Future Leaders Scholarship Dinner knowing they received scholarships, but they were not aware of the amount of their awards, nor did they know what kind of laptop they would be receiving.

Students and their families were amazed when these awards were revealed. La Costa Canyon Senior Juan Duran described receiving these gifts as have a great “impact” on his financial situation, citing how these gifts lifted stress and uncertainty off of his shoulders: “I am very grateful to have received the scholarship.” Juan will be attending CSU Chico in the fall and intends to study construction management and concrete industrial management.

The evening was spent celebrating the students, with kind and encouraging words shared by mentors who have worked with these students over months, and even years.

Moving on to universities all over California to study a wide variety of topics, these students are on their ways to becoming future leaders. Visit www.casadeamistad.org.

Canyon Crest and San Dieguito High Academy seniors receive $2,000 each toward college Continuing a long-standing commitment to education and investment in future leaders, the San Diego County Ronald McDonald House Charities/HACER Scholarship Program has presented local high school seniors Sophia Kazmierowics of Canyon Crest Academy and Kate Sequeira of San Dieguito High Academy with $2,000 each to pursue their dreams of higher education.

The program recognizes local high school seniors of Hispanic descent who demonstrate academic excellence, strong community involvement, personal success and a desire to

give back to their communities. This year’s record number of applicants were carefully reviewed by a panel of local judges comprised of community members, and McDonald’s, Ronald McDonald House and education representatives from San Diego County.

“Each year, we continue to be amazed by the high levels of academic excellence, personal determination and leadership that our applicants have demonstrated from the early stages of their academic careers,” said Christian Sandoval, San Diego County RMHC/HACER scholarship chair and a San Diego McDonald’s owner/operator. “It is truly

an honor to have the opportunity to help our local outstanding students achieve their goals and positively impact our community.”

Every year, RMHC of Southern California works diligently to raise funds to provide scholarships to local high school students.

Advance Directive

Lawyer to discuss end-of-life options at free library presentation

BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN Hemlock Society of San Diego board member Bill Simmons said he first got involved with end-of-life issues in 2009.

“I felt everybody needed to have a written advance directive stating their wishes for end of life,” he said.

He started volunteering with hospice, “And in the process of working with them and going out and seeing patients, I came to the conclusion that (family) conversations are more important than the advance directive.”

Simmons will discuss “The End of Life Option Act: Physician aid in dying for the terminally ill,” alongside Hemlock Society president Faye Girsh, 10-11 a.m. Monday, July 10 at La Jolla Riford Library, 7555 Draper Ave., La Jolla.

An advance health care directive is the legal document where a person describes the kind of decisions they wish to make when they no longer can speak for themselves because of illness or incapacity. In California, the document is typically composed by a lawyer, then signed by two qualified witnesses or acknowledged before a public notary.

Simmons believes family conversations are more important than the advance directives because “first, the fact is that in an emergency situation, doctors don’t have time to go find your advance directive, it may be in your records somewhere.

Secondly, they tend to naturally talk to the people, the family that’s standing by.

“As a lawyer, this is really hard to take,” he

Bill Simmons

MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN

continued. “I’m trained to put everything in writing. Is a mantra in law school, ‘Get it in writing!’ ” To illustrate his point, he gave an example.

“A person may have survived the 12 first hours (after a health event), some family members are there and they’re discussing the next steps. One family member says, ‘I know my mother under this circumstances wanted no further treatment.’ And a sibling says, ‘Oh we can’t do that. We need to do everything we can to save her.’ And the doctors are often caught in a family conflict, where they don’t know who to listen to. The advance directive can help with that, but family conversation is the way to deal with that.”

He elaborated, “I want my whole family to

know what my wishes are.”

Asked about ways to get the conversation started, Simmons said, “Let’s say, I’m sitting down with my elderly parent and the younger person says, ‘I see in the newspaper that Bob Hope died yesterday of this and that.’ (You may use) someone that they know. ‘If you were in his circumstances, how would you want to end your life?’ So you can use events out of the news to kick it off.

And that’s the easiest way. Another one is, they come back from a medical appointment, ‘Did the doctor discuss what would happen if something happens to you and so on?’ You can find wedges to start the conversation. It’s the wedge you’re looking for, because the conversation will flow typically pretty well once you get it started.”

In June 1, The New England Journal of Medicine published the article “Delegalizing Advance Directives: Facilitating Advance Care Planning” by Joshua Rolnick, M.D., David Asch, M.D. and Scott Halpern, M.D., that agrees with Simmon’s notion.

“Clinicians will rarely provide end-of-life care that conflicts with the stated preferences of family members, even when a formally executed advance directive is available,” the article reads.

“The POLST (Physicians Orders for Life-Sustaining Treatment),” Simmons continued, “often says, ‘Do not resuscitate me if you find me on the floor passed out, because I’m having my third heart attack and I don’t want to deal with that anymore, let me die.’ That’s extreme, and that doesn’t

have to be notarized, doesn’t have to be witnessed. Why does the advance directive need to be witnessed?”

Simmons said he is a member of the Hemlock society because, “Medicine has advanced so far in the past 50 years that we no longer die of pneumonia in four or five days, we start to decline in a number of years, and then the incline gets steeper and steeper, so death is prolonged, when it didn’t use to be. My parents didn’t have to face this kind of dilemma, prolonged dying.

“My goal is to let people know that there’s a choice, and what that choice is completely up to you. But I don’t want anyone telling me how I need to die.”

CCA grad Austin Kay wins baseball championship with Cal Lutheran

BY KAREN BILLING Canyon Crest Academy alumnus Austin Kay recently capped his baseball career with a satisfying walk-off championship title. The Encinitas-native helped the Cal Lutheran University Kingsmen baseball team win its first ever NCAA Division III National Championship on May 30. The title is only the second DIII national title in school history.

“If you would have asked me in February, that these guys and this team would be sitting here, I would have looked at you and said you’re nuts,” said head coach Marty Slimak in a release. “We had so many question marks we didn’t know we could get close to something like this, but as the season progressed these guys started coming together and it was just a great clubhouse.”

“The thing that really set us apart was our camaraderie,” Kay said of the brotherly team atmosphere.

“We were really in it for each other and that helped us stay loose.”

In the College World Series, Cal Lutheran beat Washington and Jefferson in a best-of-three series at Fox Cities Stadium in Appleton, Wisc. Cal Lutheran came out on top after dropping the first game of the series, going on to win 12-4 in game two and 7-2 in game three.

Cal Lutheran won its first baseball championship with local Austin Kay. shortstop, had several key at-bats in the tournament, including cracking a two-RBI double in game two which broke the game wide open.

Kay would be named to the All-Tournament Team, with five hits in the championship game and finishing the tournament with a .345 average and seven RBIs. Kay started playing baseball in the La Costa Youth Organization

and it has always been his main sport.

“I just loved the game. I started playing it when I was 2 in my backyard,” Kay said. “I put a lot of hard work into it.”

Throughout his youth, Kay played mostly infield and also pitched through four years on the CCA Ravens.

He was scouted a little bit by colleges but Cal Lutheran offered

him an academic scholarship to attend and play baseball. He studied environmental science and graduated this May, redshirting a year due to a shoulder injury that required surgery.

This season got off to a shaky start for the Kingsmen as they went 4-6. The team was able to regroup and rip off a 15-game win streak.

Kay said of the team, which would only drop a few more games the whole year, ending the season 40-11.

Heading into the College World Series championships, the Kingsmen had won 12 games in a two and 16 of their last 16 games, sweeping through their conference tournament and the regionals in Tyler, Texas.

After dropping that one game in a brutal 12-2 loss, the team fought back to win the next two. In game three, they put up runs early and poured on more in the seventh and eighth innings, putting the title well within reach.

“It was the top of the world kind of feeling, it was unbelievable,” Kay said. “It was something really great to be a part of because of the way we started the season, we weren’t supposed to win it. We hit the ball really well and our pitchers really stepped up.”

Kay will remain in Thousand Oaks through mid-July and will then move to Oceanside to start his new job in Oceanside. The college grad will be working as an environmental consultant.

“I think in a couple of months I’ll miss it,” Kay said of the end of his baseball life. “But it was a really good way to go out and I’m definitely happy with how my career went.”

Starry Starry Night, the signature event of Voices for Children (VFC), will be held on Saturday, Sept. 9. The 15th annual gala, chaired

by Carlsbad residents Lany and Alex Zikakis, will take place at the renowned Sahm Estate at Del Dios Ranch. Event proceeds will benefit Voices for Children, a nonprofit organization which transforms the lives of children in foster care by providing them with volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs). CASAs offer a sense of stability and advocate for foster children in the courtroom, at school, and in the community.

Starry Starry Night is considered one of San Diego’s premier fundraising events. The annual gala has grown from an intimate event in a private home to one of the community’s most anticipated events, grossing more than $1 million in each of the past five years. Del Dios Ranch in Rancho Santa Fe boasts the magnificent Sahm Estate, home to the late Ramona and Roland Sahm. The residence has hosted numerous philanthropic events and is on

the market for $85 million.

The evening will begin with a cocktail hour featuring signature creations by Snake Oil Cocktail Co. followed by a custom, gourmet menu. Guests will have the opportunity to bid on items during a live auction to directly Fund-A-CASA. The evening will conclude with an after-party with dancing and dessert stations.

Event designer and producer Janice Dodge and her team will create an evening that pays homage to historic Southern California and backdrop of Rancho Santa Fe hills.

Of serving as event chairs, Lany and Alex Zikakis shared, “We are honored to carry forward the legacy of celebration and generosity of Starry Starry Night. We look forward to a memorable event and record-breaking support for Voices for Children. Most importantly, Starry Starry Night will make it possible for Voices for Children to serve more than 3,200 foster children in San Diego County in FY2017-2018 through the advocacy of more than 1,500 CASA volunteers.”

The 49th annual Scripps Clinic Invitational Golf Tournament and Dinner will be held Sept.

Whitmarsh is a 2018 commit to the University of California, Los Angeles; Blacker is a 2018 commit to the University of Arizona; Napoli is a 2018 commit to Texas Christian University; Dreews is a 2017 commit to the University of Hawaii, and Church is a 2019 commit to Pepperdine University; and Drahos is uncommitted.

“The QOTB will give these six outstanding players an opportunity to play with different partners that they normally would never play with. It also helps them to learn how to over communicate and play each point as if it matters. These lessons are valuable for their future in college and possibly making the Olympic team,” said Fonoimoana.

The Second Annual Queen of the Beach Invitational, played June 24-25 north of the Hermosa Beach Pier, will be a showcase event that allows the top college players to test themselves against the nation’s best competition and the top high school players to do the same while also getting exposure to college coaches from across the country.

Genetic background can provide clues about possible future tumors

I

n Steven Spielberg’s 2002 science fiction thriller “Minority Report,” Tom Cruise leads a futuristic police unit whose job is to prevent crimes based upon three mutated humans called “precogs” who “previsualize” crimes via visions of the future. In other words, the precogs predict where and when something bad is going to happen. It’s Cruise’s job to make sure it doesn’t. The notion is fantastic, originally conceived by novelist Philip K. Dick, with an emphasis on the definition of fantastic — to be imaginative, fanciful, remote from reality.

Or not. “Minority Report” was Hollywood fantasy, but a research article published in the journal Cancer Discovery earlier this year suggests the idea isn’t so far-fetched, at least in terms of potentially predicting and preventing individual cancers. Hannah Carter, Ph.D., assistant professor of medicine, and Trey Ideker, Ph.D., professor of medicine and genetics, both at UC San Diego School of Medicine and Moores Cancer Center, are the first and senior authors of the article, respectively.

“Our findings suggest that a person’s genetic

background can provide clues about what their tumor might look like if they did happen to get cancer, including where it might occur and what mutations might appear,” said Carter, a recipient of the prestigious NIH Early Independence Award, which is designed to accelerate the research of exceptional scientists early in their careers. It’s well known that a person’s genetic background plays an important role in cancer. We are all vulnerable or predisposed, in varying degrees, to different kinds of cancer based upon our genes or mutations.

“Researchers tend to focus on genetic cancer risk or on DNA mutations in tumor genomes,” said Carter, “but they don’t often relate the two. We did a genome-wide screen looking for inherited genetic variation that directly affects observable characteristics of tumors.” Specifically, Carter and colleagues tested more than 2 million genetic variants in 10,000 cancer patients participating in The Cancer Genome Atlas, an ongoing, national effort to catalog genetic mutations responsible for cancer.

“We found more than 400 variants that influence

www.delmartimes.net either the tissue site where a tumor emerges or the genes that are mutated in that tumor’s genome,” Carter said. “Some of the variants affected nearby genes that were performing similar functions to the mutated genes in the tumor, providing new clues to unravel how an individual’s genetic background shapes the genetic landscape of their tumor.” In essence, the researchers revealed a landscape of common germline variants (mutations in heritable genetic material) that influence how and where tumors develop. It’s a possible preview of what kind of cancer might appear later in a patient’s life — and where.

“This type of information could help improve screening to detect tumors and maybe even allow pre-emptive design of drug combinations that will be effective,” said Carter. “Now we need follow-on studies with much larger numbers of patients to really map out this landscape and determine how to best use it to fight cancer.”

In past columns, I’ve written that the best cancer treatment is the one that prevents cancer altogether. Modern medicine and common sense (exercise, eat right, don’t smoke) are already driving that effort with measurable success. Carter, Ideker and colleagues are writing the next chapter — and maybe the future-forward script for another Hollywood movie.

OUR READERS WITE Community Choice and climate change When 97 percent of all climate scientists agree that climate change is real and caused at least partly by humans (climate.nasa.gov/scientific-consensus), assertions to the contrary like those by Bill Stoops (in last week’s Solana Beach Sun) are a distraction.

Community Choice Energy (aka Community Choice Aggregation or CCA), also attacked by Mr. Stoops, will allow Solana Beach’s residents and businesses to choose an energy supplier other than SDG&E. Solana Beach will join the eight other CCA’s throughout California that deliver lower-priced electricity, and a greater proportion of renewable energy. For those who wish to stay with SDG&E, they can stay. For those who like the idea of competition, choice, lower rates, and reduced fossil fuel emissions, this opportunity is heaven-sent.

Grateful to live in Solana Beach My husband and I are delighted to be new residents of Solana Beach, close to family and friends and part of your wonderful community. We really like being able to walk to so many places and especially look forward to our daily walk on the beach to enjoy the beautiful, ever-changing ocean.

Everyone we meet is friendly and it is nice to see

people of all ages enjoying the great outdoors.

We found helpful information, several times, from the very welcoming staff at the Chamber of Commerce. A very special treat for us was learning about the weekly sing-along at the community center. We enjoyed discovering that, and it is so much fun to be with that wonderful group. We look forward to returning to sing-along as often as possible.

Solana Beach has so much to offer and we are grateful to have the opportunity to live here with all of you.

June 21 - ASK Day Gun violence in this country has reached epidemic proportions. Shooting at our Representatives on a baseball field makes national headlines, but let’s not forget that an average 90 Americans, eight of whom are children, are shot every day. The United States leads the world in per capita gun ownership, and the shooting continues with children often the victims: so far this year over 1,700. These disturbing statistics have led to a national outreach to parents. June 21 marked the 17th ASK (Asking Saves Kids) Day, a campaign sponsored by the American Academy of Pediatricians and the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence. The ASK Campaign alerts parents to the alarming frequency of unintentional shootings by children and of children due to careless gun storage. It encourages them to always ask if there are guns in the home where their children play

and, if there are, to ensure they are locked up. A simple question that can be incorporated into the list of safety questions that parents ask, yet one that could save a life. Parents, please ASK! askingsaveskids.org Carol Landale Carmel Valley

Better building designs needed for young adults with special needs In the past six years, I have mentored and worked with 300 architects and soon to be architects. They look up to me as someone who “walks the talk” in social activism. And many of them reach out and help me when I am in despair with the current state of affairs. Last week was one such time when I first saw the photo of the Adult Transition Facility (ATP) that is being built in the Earl Warren Middle School campus.

Rohit Tak, a humanist, architect and Fulbright scholar, was aghast. “Surely, the Adult Transition Program (ATP) facility must be temporary because you can’t expect young adults to become independent, included and treated respectfully here.” He cynically remarked, “If it looks like a storage portable, then it was designed as one.” In UC Berkeley classrooms, he had heard all about inclusionary designs and how community input is an important stage in the planning process. He was disappointed to learn that the district completely left out the ATP facility in the Master Plans while renovating and upgrading the other district SEE LETTERS, A23

www.delmartimes.net FROM DANCE, A4 believe that it was a competing Carmel Valley dance studio.

At one point Garton said she felt like RAPA would have to shut down entirely and she pictured herself on stage at the June recital saying a painful, final goodbye.

“I’ve put my heart and soul and everything I’ve got into this,” Garton said.

Garton opened Royal Dance Academy in the Piazza Carmel shopping center in 2001, expanding multiple times while her studio grew in popularity. For years she talked about her vision for RAPA and it finally became a reality in October 2014. She invested “everything she had” into the 15,000-squarefoot building — creating five state-of-the-art dance studios, a large retail section, dressing room and quiet study room for dancers, parents lounge, conference rooms and office space.

An anonymous letter arrived in November 2016 — telling Garton that she was “breaking the law” and “putting children in danger.” She nearly fell out of her chair reading the letter, handing it off to her landlord.

“We thought it must have been a hoax,” Garton said.

When she heard Del Mar Ballet had also received multiple anonymous letters and a letter from the city, she encouraged them that it was nothing, there was no possible way they could close down the studios for violating the zoning — if they did, they would have to close nearly every door on the street.

Garton will never forget the day in February.

She had just finished teaching a class and her mother, Madeline Wilson, who works at the studio’s front desk, let her know the city had called them too. The city then sent a Civil Penalty Notice and Order which required compliance within 30 days.

Garton called the city asking if it was a joke and found that the investigator had already been out to visit RAPA and the other studios. “’Can you not see the faces of the kids and all of the joy?’” Garton said she asked the investigator “There’s an energy, a buzz, a beautiful atmosphere, creativity, laughter, it’s like one big gorgeous family. I asked , ‘You can’t

FROM CORRIDOR, A3 The list of “have to do” projects includes bringing Camino del Mar into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, repaving and restriping the roadway and overhauling the corridor’s drainage system. A much longer list of “nice to do” projects includes a new landscaping plan, tree planting, outdoor furniture, public art, crosswalks, new light poles with banners and hanging flower pots, and amenities such as electric car plug-ins and free WiFi. Most of the focus is on Camino del Mar from 9th to 13th streets. Several of the proposals — sidewalk connectivity, bicycle lanes and streetlights — will include to 14th and 15th streets.

Streetscape’s overarching goal is to create continuity without quashing the unique character of the corridor’s distinct pockets.

The lightly attended meetings have mixed disappointment with frustration and an urgency to move the project forward.

“I’m a little disappointed that there’s no grand design,” one business owner said at the June 14 workshop. “We’ve talked about this for 20 years at least, and it seems like the lines keep changing on the paper.”

“On my block, there’s seven different colors of concrete — and that’s just from 14th Street

NORTH COAST - JUNE 22, 2017 - PAGE A19

really close it, can you?’

“I’m sobbing at the city, thinking ‘I can’t believe that this is really happening.’”

According to Richmond, all of the dance studio operators contacted the department and began working toward compliance.

“The San Diego Municipal Code describes the various remedies and procedures for enforcement, including fines,” Richmond said.

“CED’s goal is to work with owners to achieve voluntary compliance.”

Garton retained a lawyer and found out that to fight the zoning would cost a lot of time and thousands of dollars. The stress and the fear was often too much to take over the next few months and although it broke her heart, because she had put so much into the building, she realized that she would have to let it go. She couldn’t risk losing her business and displacing her dancers.

While she felt like the city was practicing selective zoning, for the other businesses to be forced to move someone would have to complain. Garton said it would not be her.

“I know what it takes to open a business, the risk, the money, it’s so hard. Why would I do that to another business I respect?” Garton asked.

Garton said it’s not fair that they were targeted when so many other similar businesses will be allowed to remain but she acknowledges the city is just doing its job.

Richmond said that the City Treasurer’s Office issues Business Tax Certificates and it is incumbent upon all responsible parties to perform due diligence to confirm uses are allowed and appropriate permits are obtained when opening or operating a business. He said to avoid situations like this from occurring, the city’s Economic Development Department can provide assistance for those looking to start new businesses.

Down the street from RAPA, Del Mar Ballet was faced with the same hard choices — they would also have to move but to where? The studio owned by Marie Arts and Ben Adams had been in their Sorrento Valley location for eight years.

A new beginning was announced last week, as Del Mar Ballet and Royal Academy of down to the Starbuck’s,” said Jim Jelley. “This is a Band-Aid is what this really is. Needing new sidewalks is not something new, it’s something that’s been going on for 20 years.”

After so many years of waiting, the city should take on as many of the projects as possible, said Zach Groban, chairman of the city’s Business Support Advisory Committee.

“Our goal is to move people back and forth to help out the businesses and have people stay downtown,” he said. “The nice-to-do’s, all those should clearly be moved up. If we’re going to disrupt businesses and start tearing up streets, I think the business community wants something that they feel is going to actually help them.”

One of the biggest challenges will be to resolve the inconsistent curb lines, which in some places run ragged from one property to the next, with curb lines in some places overlapping onto private property.

The Streetscape team will meet next month with the city’s Business Support Advisory Committee, Traffic and Parking Advisory Committee and the Del Mar Village Association, culminating in one more workshop with the general public.

The team hopes to present a preferred plan to the city council in September so that construction can begin in January and finish

by May.

Performing Arts have decided to merge at Merge, a brand new mixed retail center on Carmel Mountain Road and Carmel Country Road. The studios will come together under the name Pacific Arts Dance Center and they hope to be the premier dance enterprise in all of San Diego. The studios will have most of the top floor with “wonderful” views and a huge balcony that converts to a performance venue.

“From something so sickening, something beautiful has come from it,” Garton said. “At a time when I thought there was no light at the end of the tunnel I got with Marie and realized they shared the same standards and values and goals for their students.”

“Through all of the ups and downs of the roller coaster that has been going on behind the scenes, we have charted an entirely new course with a new location beyond our wildest dreams,” Arts wrote in a letter to her dancers.

“A location where our artistic vision can truly shine and where we will find a new and lasting home.”

It’s a 6,000-square-foot space, half the size of Garton’s Sorrento Valley studio. There will be four studios instead of five, and she will lose many of the amenities she “spoiled” her dancers and parents with. They will still have a dressing room, music and acting studio for performing arts programs and space for Zumba classes. And they will still be a family. A bigger, newer one.

“The toughest of times can bring out the greatest light in people and shine on new opportunities that would have never otherwise been discovered,” Arts said. “It has been an incredibly tough time for all of us over the past few months. There is nothing like an attempted annihilation of our work and artistic expression to really show what can be accomplished when we all come together and support each other.”

FROM TWINS, A7 Taylor and Zac both graduated with 4.2 GPAs. Their younger brother, Luke, is an incoming freshman at Cathedral Catholic High School who wants to play football.

All four kids have pitched in to help run the yogurt shop.

“We were just a family that believed in one another,” Nancy Scornavacco said.

“They wanted to succeed because they knew their dad wouldn’t be there to take care of us. They helped in making that business successful, they worked very hard at their academics and that paid off for them. As a widow, I very much appreciate the drive and tenacity of these guys.”

Zac plans to major in business with minors in communication and political science. He’s considering the possibility of a career in politics.

Taylor plans to attend Naval Academy after completing her studies at Stanford.

She wants to study human biology so she can be a Navy surgeon, an ambition she’s had for years as a way of giving back to those who sacrifice for the freedoms we enjoy.

Both Taylor and Zac take nothing for granted.

“Now that I’m going to Stanford and I’ve achieved this through athletics I’m going to hopefully be able to take it even further and create a career for myself so that I can help pay back those that helped me along the way and let me focus on what I really wanted to do and follow my dreams,” Taylor said.

FROM CLEWS, A2 attendance at religious services may drive attendance down in the coming school year and cause some families to remove their children from Notre Dame Academy,” the judge wrote.

The judge wrote that Clews and the church staff have already agreed to a new security procedure, under which a church staff member meets Clews in the parking lot and escorts him to and from services.

“A priest at the church testified that he felt this procedure was necessary mostly to protect Clews, who he said faced harassment,” the judge wrote. “The priest testified that he was willing to continue this practice, at whatever times the Court ordered, to assist Clews in attending services there.”

Clews is under house arrest and must remain in his home or on the property of the horse ranch much of the time, although he is allowed off the property for certain specific reasons. The judge noted in his order that electronic monitoring and “unannounced

covert physical surveillance” have shown that so far, when he has visited St. Therese, Clews has traveled directly from the parking lot to the church and chapel grounds, without straying into the school area.

Schopler gave both sides until Monday, June 19, to submit written arguments as to whether the court should consider prohibiting Clews from attending religious services near a school, and whether such a restriction would be consistent with Clews’ First Amendment right to free exercise of his religion.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Renee Green, who is prosecuting Clews, declined to say what position her office will take on whether Clews should be allowed to attend church services at St. Therese while awaiting trial, except to say, “We are doing our best to make sure the community is safe while he is out on bond.”

Clews’ defense attorney, Gina Tennen, did not respond immediately to a request for comment by a reporter. Nor did church and school officials.

At the hearing set for Thursday, June 22, the judge will consider both the church visits and a motion by Clews’ attorney, requesting that Clews be allowed to access the internet for business, medical and religious reasons. The motion also requests that Clews be allowed to travel to certain businesses, including Mary’s Tack & Feed on Via de la Valle, Home Depot on Westview Parkway in San Diego, Hawthorne Country Store in Escondido and California Bank and Trust on El Camino Real.

The motion also asks the court to allow Clews to stop seeing a therapist out of concern for self-incrimination.

Tennen said she contacted Green, the prosecutor, who opposed both discontinuing the mental health treatment and allowing Clews to have internet access.

A trial date has not been set. Clews faces one count each of possessing and distributing child pornography. The charges against Clews stem from a two-year investigation by the San Diego Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.

Climate lobbyists join 1,000 in D.C. to lobby Congress Seven local Citizens’ Climate Lobby (CCL) volunteers traveled to Washington DC June 11-13, when 1,300 volunteers came together for the 2017 Citizens’ Climate Lobby International Conference and Lobby Day. On Tuesday, June 13, the San Diego CCL members joined 1,000 other citizen lobbyists for over 500 meetings on Capitol Hill with Congressional representatives of districts across the country. The overall purpose of the group is “to create the political will for climate solutions by enabling individual breakthroughs in the exercise of personal and political power.”

Hanten, who has been transferred to the department’s Eastern Division, said he and his officers appreciated the public’s support in the aftermath of the Torrey Pines shooting, which he can’t discuss in detail because it is still under investigation.

“I’d like to reach out and thank the community for their support and for not rushing to judgment. And for recognizing that this was a tragedy for the officers as well,” Hanten said.

Lt. Paul Phillips will serve as interim commander of Northwestern Division, Hanten said. Members of the public can contact Officer Trevor Philips, community relations officer for Northwestern Division, with questions or concerns at 858-523-7031 or ttphilips@pd.sandiego.gov.

www.delmartimes.net FROM LIFEGUARD, A1 move forward. I think it’s a very important building to this community and I say Option 3 and let’s go ahead.”

The report by Steven Dalton Architects laid out a litany of failings: walls nearing collapse, cramped spaces and widespread violations of building codes and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Modular structures would carry a $1.65 million price tag over the short term but would cost the city $7 million over a 50-year window, according to the report. Renovation would cost $3.37 million but would not meet the full range of lifeguards’ needs. A new facility built from the ground up would cost $4 million.

From both an economic and functional sense, a new facility is the best option, said Solana Beach Mayor Mike Nichols.

“It’s from the emotional [and] historical standpoint that you start to feel like, ‘Oh man, wouldn’t that be a shame to lose,’” he said.

“That’s where the challenge comes in for the architect or designer, is to really capture that texture, that feel, and make it feel like maybe it’s been there for all of Solana Beach’s history.”

Another challenge could be the building’s size.

A rough schematic envisioned a facility of 4,770 square feet in two stories — more than three times the size of the existing structure. Two councilmembers — Ginger Marshall and David Zito — expressed concern that something so big could feel far out of step with the rest of Fletcher Cove.

“Almost a 5,000-square-foot building just seems like it would be really monstrous

FROM DOGS, A3 everybody.”

Part of that area in MacDonald’s petition would include the city’s “main beach” — from the northern end of Powerhouse Park to 29th Street. Dogs are allowed there on leashes most of the year, but banned completely during the busy season from June 16 through Labor Day. City officials said the goal is to strike a good balance that makes life better for all.

“We’ve always been dog friendly,” said Mark Rathsam, the city’s deputy director of community service. “It’s something that’s been a tradition down here. It’s what residents want.”

He said it’s up to the City Council to create or change Del Mar’s leash laws, and generally the council tries to do what residents want.

Not everybody likes dogs on the beach, Rathsam added.

“There are plenty of people who don’t want

compared to what’s there right now,” Marshall said. “Some people don’t even like to go onto the sand; some people just like to hang out in the recreation area right there. I’d just hate to see the view and the bulk and scale of a 5,000-square-foot lifeguard property overshadow what our cute little Fletcher Cove park is right now.”

Zito suggested minimizing the facility’s footprint by recessing it deeper into the abutting hillside and by setting the facility further back from the bluff’s edge. He and other councilmembers also noted the eye-popping price tag. Councilwoman Jewel Edson wondered whether the project can be split into phases to spread out the cost.

“We may not need all of those 4,700 square feet right now,” she said.

Not included in that $4 million estimate: a $450,000 seawall and a $410,000 stairway for lifeguards that would go down the face of the bluff.

A seawall would be a problem for the San Diego Surfrider Foundation.

“There needs to be a deeper discussion before preemptive construction of a seawall,” said Kristin Brinner, a Solana Beach resident and co-chair of the foundation’s beach preservation committee. “We urge that a more thorough options analysis be performed before defaulting to a preemptive seawall.”

City Manager Greg Wade said city staff will outline a funding plan at a future meeting, which could include the possibility of drawing funds from the first overhaul in more than a decade to the city’s Transient Occupancy Tax levied on guests at hotels and vacation rentals in the city. to be jumped on, don’t want to be bit, and don’t want to step in dog poop,” he said.

There are more of those people in the summer, because there are more tourists in town without their pets.

Dogs sometimes create problems, whether their owners think so or not, he said.

Sometimes the animals get into fights, sometimes they get into trouble in the water, especially in the off-leash area near the river mouth.

“We make quite a few rescues of dogs there,” said Grant, a lifeguard for 20 years. “A dog gets pulled out in the river and can’t get back to shore, then the owner jumps in fully clothed. We rescue dogs and their owners a lot.”

And it’s not always the owners, Rathsam said. Not long ago lifeguards had to rescue a fully clothed man, shoes and all, who had gone in to rescue somebody else’s dog.

calling their representatives on Friday, June 9, for a “Congressional Call-In Day” for the climate.

CCL is building a movement that builds bridges across social and political divides, and is lobbying Congress to address climate risks by coming together to discuss bipartisan solutions. Volunteers at the conference asked Republicans to sign the Republican Climate Resolution that states in part, “If left unaddressed, the consequences of a changing climate have the potential to adversely impact

FROM SOCCERCITY, A1 once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for San Diego. I want my children and grandchildren to have the same opportunities that I’ve had and the Qualcomm site can be an important driver for our region,” said District 1 Councilmember Barbara Bry. “My vote today is about the future of our city, it’s not about whether or not I love soccer….Let’s not confuse opposition to SoccerCity with opposition to soccer in San Diego. SoccerCity is not the only option for Mission Valley and we shouldn’t buy into the rhetoric that says otherwise.”

FS Investors wanted the special election in 2017 as the MLS will award a team to an expansion city by the end of the year and San Diego is one of 12 cities contending for four MLS expansion spots. City Council said they were following the guidance of Measure L, which San Diego voters passed in November 2016, stating that any major initiative or measure should be voted in a general election when the most people vote.

In a statement following Monday’s decision, Mayor Faulconer expressed his disappointment that the council shelved a plan that over 100,000 people supported with the citizen’s initiative petition.

“The Council’s decision significantly jeopardizes our chance to bring Major League Soccer to San Diego and create a river park at no cost to taxpayers. Regardless of whether they personally supported or opposed SoccerCity, Councilmembers should have given San Diegans the chance to vote when it

all Americans.” They asked both Democrats and Republicans to join the bipartisan House Climate Solutions Caucus, which currently has 20 members from each party. The caucus recently introduced legislation to establish a Climate Solutions Commission and held a public briefing on the impacts of climate change on oceans and coastal communities.

CCL also advocates for a revenue-neutral carbon tax, called carbon fee and dividend. A carbon fee and dividend charges fossil fuel producers for greenhouse gas pollution and

mattered the most.”

Opposition group Public Land Public Vote encouraged the city to now move forward with an open and transparent process for soliciting competing proposals for the redevelopment of the Qualcomm site, “in the hopes of identifying a project that better meets the needs of the City, taxpayers and SDSU.” However as Nick Stone of SoccerCity’s FS Investors said in his testimony, all of the alternatives are “slow, expensive and riddled with legal challenges.” Voting to send the initiative to the 2018 ballot was a vote for a “decade of delay.”

“My 3-year-old will be driving before something happens on that site,” Stone said.

Councilmember Bry said she was confident that the city can move forward expeditiously to bring alternative options to public by 2018.

“I want to see a once-in-a-lifetime project with community input and buy-in take place in Mission Valley and create a legacy that our grandchildren can be proud of,” Bry said.

That legacy was also driving Landon Donovan, the former MLS player and U.S. Men’s National team member. Donovan was leading the charge for SoccerCity despite his wife being in labor with his second child (by the time the meeting had concluded, Bry was congratulating Donovan on the birth of his son). Donovan was in council chambers at his wife’s insistence, to show the importance of the “legacy” he was hoping to build for his new home of San Diego and his kids.

SoccerCity support also came from World Cup champion and

Everlasting memories of loved ones

Cecelia ‘Ceil’ Skrukrud October 27, 1928 - June 10, 2017

Del Mar — Cecelia (Ceil) Skrukrud of Del Mar, Ca, died June 10, 2017 following a brief illness.

Originally from Farrell, Pa, she was the third youngest of nine children born to Czechoslovakian immigrants who sailed to america at the start of the 20th century. at twenty-three Ceil bought a one-way train ticket west and worked as a switchboard operator for Pacific Bell. She met Clare Skrukrud on a blind date.

He had left his Minnesota family farm a couple years prior, joined the Navy and was stationed in San Diego. although it took a bit of coaxing on his part, she accepted his marriage proposal in 1955, with a quick run to Yuma to wed during one of his three

day leaves. They bought a home in Del Mar (using her savings as a down payment), had two lovely daughters, and spent three decades as a military family, which included tours in Yokohama, Japan and exmouth, australia.

Clare and Ceil were in love with each other every day until his death in 1981.

Ceil then joined

Meals-on-Wheels as a coordinator, running a tight ship by keeping volunteers on schedule and clients nourished and visited. She enjoyed twenty years there, and made many lasting friendships.

It was rare to go shopping with her (and she did love to shop) without running into a Meals-on-Wheels connection.

Ceil took great pleasure from her beautiful succulent garden, most any nearby casino, and the view of the ocean from her kitchen window. Her lemon bars, date nut bars and Christmas pizzelles were simply delicious.

She is survived by two daughters and sons-in-law, Nora levine and husband David, of Oakland, Ca, and Karil Skrukrud-adams and husband Dan adams, of la

Mesa. Her brother Bob and his wife Joann of Tucson, aZ held a very special place in her heart, as did numerous nieces and nephews, many of whom agree about the lemon bars.

Her family would like to thank the nursing team, palliative care and hospice staff at Scripps encinitas for the wonderful care they provided. a celebration of her life will be held in the near future. Ceil, Nora and Karil would be grateful were you to make a donation in her name to either Meals on Wheels San Diego County or The Brother Benno Foundation of Oceanside, Ca.

Olympic gold medalist and Carmel Valley/Del Mar Sharks Director Shannon MacMillan, former San Diego Sockers player Brian Farber and lots of soccer fans, many of them in SoccerCity San Diego jerseys — over 2,000 were sold, with the hopeful 2017 date on the back.

Steve Altman, member of the FS Investors group, said they worked to craft an initiative that they believe is the best use for the property — to pay fair market value (the land was recently appraised at $110 million), to build a joint-use stadium for SDSU football and a MLS soccer team, and build a river park that the city has wanted but couldn’t afford for decades, promising no use of public funding.

“Unfortunately in this city and especially in today’s divided environment, even the best intentions get mischaracterized and attacked,” Altman said, noting the opposition, “funded by two very politically-connected local developers seeking to protect their nearby projects,” painted them as a bunch of “hedge fund sharks,” rich guys from La Jolla and “greedy land developers trying to make windfall profits at the expense of the city and its taxpayers.”

Paying $110 million that the land was independently appraised for, is hardly swindling the city, Altman said.

“Our partnership group has been financially successful. That doesn’t make us bad people. That doesn’t make us greedy people,” Altman said. “This group deeply cares about San Diego and none of them deserves to be characterized the way they have been.”

He said FS Investors does not contribute a lot to political campaigns but gives time and money to support local charitable causes, including SDSU, homelessness, medical research and invests in businesses to help create jobs in the city.

“If the council pushes the vote to 2018, they are taking the outcome out of our control — our chances on getting an MLS franchise depend almost entirely on the hope that eight of the 11 competing cities will fail to get their approvals before we do,” said Altman. “That’s a terrible business strategy, to base your success on your competitors failing.”

Those in opposition of SoccerCity included several SDSU supporters, who look at the site for its potential to expand the university past “landlocked” Montezuma Mesa and as a home for SDSU football, which has no place to play after the 2019 season.

Joe LaCava of Public Land Public Vote reiterated his group’s viewpoint that FS Investors were attempting a massive land grab, “the largest transfer of taxpayer wealth to a private developer in San Diego history,” one that creates traffic gridlock, bypasses environmental review and represents a deal made behind closed doors with no community input.

“The real reason why SoccerCity is failing is because, from the very start, the project violated almost every principle of open government and fair competition,” said Gretchen Newsom, speaking on behalf of the 3,400 members of the IBEW Local 569 electricians union. “This unfair proposal is bad and it’s worse than just hand-selecting a ref, it also smacks of choosing the winning team of the World Cup without having to play in the tournament like everyone else.”

Councilmember Scott Sherman said he was very disappointed in how the whole process played out, saying he was “pigeonholed” at this point and had no option but to put the initiative on the ballot for next year, which effectively kills it.

“I heard a lot about Public Land Public Vote which is kind of silly because they’re actively trying to stop the public from voting,” Sherman said. “This is the will of the voter at this point. Our job is to implement the will of the voter and not impose our will on the voter and that’s what we have been doing around here for the last couple of weeks…All we can do is move it to November 2018 and pray that MLS makes a decision to delay. I don’t have anything else I can do, I wish I could do something different.”

I also must add that parents were not happy with the choice of the location. During the June 8 SDUHSD board meeting, over 50 parents had collectively gasped and indicated their annoyance with the strange explanation that the ATP facility was placed outside the fenced middle school because of transportation lines but not near a high school which has major transport lines because the kids are older there.

FROM RENTALS, A1 revenue and to engage in this process,” said Worden, who has led the council’s effort to create the STR policy.

Monday’s action builds on the council’s hotly disputed ruling in April that interpreted Del Mar’s 40-year-old planning documents to mean that short-term rentals are not allowed in any residential neighborhood except for a two-block stretch of Stratford Court.

Many residents have equated that to a ban on short-term rentals. That ruling, however, has not been implemented. Del Mar has since April 2016 been operating under a moratorium that allows short-term rentals as long as the homeowner can prove they were renting prior to its taking effect.

That moratorium is set to expire in February, giving city officials a tight timeline for instituting what promises to be a complex and wide-reaching regulatory framework.

“This is the beginning not the end of anything,” Worden said.

The council will take the next steps on STRs at its July 17 meeting, including: the possibility of carving out exceptions for homes that fall into unique zoning circumstances; a permitting system that will require homeowners to register the dates their homes will be rented out; and, a mechanism to enforce their new regulations and monitor unpermitted rentals online.

Councilman Dave Druker was reluctant on Monday night to move forward without seeing more specificity on the kind and extent of the permitting process.

“For me to go on vacation and rent my home, I’ve got to go through a permit process?

I don’t think that’s reasonable,” he said. “I think that is very unreasonable at this point. …

I’m a little bit worried that even a simple email or permit becomes very onerous.”

Councilwoman Ellie Haviland countered that some kind of permitting will be necessary to enforce whatever rules the city eventually puts into place.

“If a neighbor is complaining about a potential abuse next door, the city needs to have a mechanism for looking it up and seeing [if] this a permitted rental or not,” she said.

“We’re not talking about big fees. We’re not talking about having to collect an onerous amount of information. We’re talking about a 15-minute process of filling out a form in order to make some nice income on your home when you go away on vacation. That sounds reasonable to me.”

Monday night’s discussion brought out a

points were the reason why the windows were not added in the portables. She rolled her eyes and enlightened me that electrical wiring is not higher than 18 inches from the floor and doesn’t affect window placement.

After reviewing the plan, another architect pointed out that the learning center should have “vocational training labs, speech therapy centers, and more customized learning areas with automated wide doors …”

Every child has a right to fulfill his or her dream. In Endrew F. v. Douglas County School District, the Supreme Court ruled that the school districts must give students with disabilities the chance to make meaningful, “appropriately ambitious” progress and is this possible in this poorly planned windowless storage units? Let’s ask SDUHSD to design buildings that provide a better future for young adults with special needs.

Sheila Mitra-Sarkar Encinitas dozen frustrated homeowners, several of whom had not appeared before the council before.

They asked the council to back away from the proposed regulations and instead impose a Transient Occupancy Tax, as Solana Beach did earlier this year. Ken Assi, who rents out his home while he’s away on vacation, was one of several homeowners who implored the council to consider the well-being of Del Mar’s dwindling commercial district. Guests at his four-bedroom home overlooking San Dieguito Lagoon have included an ambassador, NBA star Derrick Rose and, more recently, he said, a family that left behind shopping bags with receipts from local businesses totaling $200,000 over their three-day stay.

“I’ve seen the Plaza and this area in its heyday, and I’ve seen it continue to decline year after year when Carmel Valley’s centers became stronger,” he said. “All of that sucked some of the life out of Del Mar and this is going to suck the rest of the life out of Del Mar.” While several of Monday’s speakers were willing to go along with the seven-day minimum, others were dead-set against it—including the Del Mar Alliance for the Preservation of Beach Access and Village, a group of residents who have begun proceedings against the city in San Diego Superior Court. They want Del Mar to impose the transient tax and not cap the amount of time that a home can be rented.

“There’s no reason to regulate the number of days per year,” their lawyer, Cory Briggs, told the council.

After an outburst from an irate resident who chided the council before storming out of the meeting, the council directed city staff to move forward with developing language for changes to the city code that might be necessary and to prepare for the possibility of state environmental and coastal agencies.

The motion passed 4-1, with Mayor Terry Sinnott continuing his opposition to the city’s approach.

The council hopes to hold to the following timeline: Sept. 12: A hearing before the city planning commission Oct. 2: First reading of the new regulations Oct. 17: Apply for a Local Coastal Program amendment through the California Coastal Commission Dec. 13-15: Coastal Commission hearing February/March 2018: Review and accept the commission’s revisions June 2018: Return to the commission for final certification

FROM VETERAN, A6 tough missions that involved removing roadside bombs, enduring daily detonations on his vehicle and patrol. In one incident, he lost his driver after an IED exploded and his patrol came under a small arms fire ambush; in another he had to pull his squad leader out of a burning Bradley assault vehicle. His squad leader survived but he lost his leg.

After he got out of the military in 2010, Brown struggled with flashbacks and PTSD and at his lowest point was considering suicide. He credits his wife Chondra as being his “angel,” helping to pull him out of his darkest depths, building him back up and finding his “why” in his family. He has five children and one on the way and is devoted to coaching his kids’ sports teams and volunteering at R. Roger Rowe School, where he attended himself and his mother Barbara was a teacher for 37 years.

“My ‘why’ is to be the best dad that I can be and make sure my kids go into this world with confidence and honesty and a concept of service above self, to give back to the community and give back to the planet,” Brown said.

Running became an important tool for Brown to cope and heal and find peace.

When not training for an event, he never has a set distance in mind when he goes out for a run, sometimes with his service dog Stella. He just listens to his body and what feels good at the time.

“Running has became a mental, holistic soul-cleansing thing,” Brown said. “That’s what fitness has turned into for me, more of a mental-type therapy than physical.”

After Trevino found out about the 9 Week Warrior Challenge, he felt it would be a good ‘why’ to suffer through the Badwater. This was Trevino’s second time running the Badwater Salton Sea — he ran the 81 miles last year as a member of a two-member team.

“Mike told me after the first 20 miles you’re not running with your body you’re running with your mind,” Brown said.

The race started around 6:30 a.m. on Sunday, April 30. The elevation of the first 40 miles of race is flat but hot — it reached 105 degrees on the road and Brown said the Salton Sea smells of fish bones. The race then goes for about 10 miles on a trail section before the ascent up Mount Palomar.

The team dynamic of the race added complexity because they have to stick together and run the same pace. As Trevino was still feeling the effects of pneumonia, he basically could not breathe by the time the group was about 20 miles into the race.

“He was in bad shape but he rallied. He felt every step of that race,” Brown said.

“There’s no quit in him, he’s the most mentally tough person that I know. That guy amazes me.”

He described Katya as a “total beast” and also the team’s mother — always setting the pace.

“It was cool to see the team dynamic come into play, we stuck together as a team,” Brown said. “I felt pretty good. If I was by myself I would’ve ended up in a lot of trouble because, like a lot of runners, I make the mistake of going out way too fast and hitting the wall. We had a pretty good pace and we slowed down after Mike started puking.”

As the rules of the race are that the team members can’t be more than 25 meters from each other, they had to work together to finish. They plied Mike with Pedialyte and salt tablets and used a run-walk method as he recovered.

The run-walk was killer on Brown’s feet — it hurt more to walk than to run at that point.

At 6’3” and 225 pounds, Brown doesn’t have a typical distance runner build. While during the race Trevino and Meyers didn’t eat much food, Brown said “What didn’t I eat?” — for a man his size, he needed to restore about 400 calories every hour. He slammed about 25 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and turkey sandwiches, countless Oreos, gummy bears, bananas, dates and avocados — at one point he even ate a cheese pizza rolled up like a burrito.

They all had about 50 salt tablets and went through about five or six gallons each of Pedialtye and water.

Their support crew vehicle on the race included his wife Chondra.

“I was really grateful that my wife could be out there with me,” Brown said. “I feel like I’m centered and grounded when she’s with me.”

It got dark on the racers around 8 p.m. and they strapped on mandatory reflective gear and lights. They crossed the finish line a little after 2 a.m. and earned their Badwater belt buckles and bragging rights. Seven teams that had started the race weren’t able to finish.

It’s now on Brown’s bucket list to run the Badwater 135. Just to get into the race he has to complete two 100-mile races that Badwater recognizes — he is shooting to get into Badwater 2019. He has his friend Trevino to help him get there.

Brown is excited about launching the 9 Week Warrior Challenge and about helping others. The goal is for participants to become certified personal trainers themselves so they can start working for 9 Week Warrior and continue to pay it forward.

“There’s nothing else that motivates me more than breathing life into people who come to us completely broken and hopeless. I get emotional talking about it because it’s my passion. I love it. There’s nothing else that I’d rather be doing,” Brown said.

After the race, Brown experienced a lot of swelling and pain in his feet—he lost four toenails and after a late night trip to the emergency room on May 1 was given six IV bags in 45 minutes and nerve blockers from the ankle down, causing him to be on crutches the first day after finishing.

By Thursday, May 4, he was finally able to get his blistered and roughed-up feet back into shoes again. He was hurting but it wasn’t anything he couldn’t handle. He had a lacrosse practice to coach.

Summer Twilight Concerts

E

veryone knows that summer has arrived in Del Mar with the return of the Del Mar Foundation’s Summer Twilight Concert Series. This year, the Foundation has scheduled five concerts, all of which will be held at Powerhouse Park. The season kicked off on Tuesday, June 20, with Zel’s Opening Act at 6 p.m., followed by the main event featuring Sully and the Blue Eyed Soul Band at 7 p.m. (photos of the event are on this page).

“This might be the strongest line-up we’ve ever had,” said T. Pat Stubbs, chair of the Foundation’s Twilight Concert Committee.

“We kick things off with Sully and the Blue Eyed Soul Band, followed by DSB – The Next Best Thing To Journey; The Ultimate Stones; The Mighty Untouchables; and The Sensation

Show Band. And, of course, we’ll continue to have great local opening acts at every concert as well, thanks to our long-time partner Zel’s Del Mar.” The Twilight Concerts have a long tradition in Del Mar, going back to the roots of the Foundation itself in 1983. The shows have grown incredibly in popularity, thanks in large part to the support of local sponsors. As Stubbs remarked, “We couldn’t put on these shows without our sponsors, all of whom are local businesses doing their best for Del Mar. We are particularly grateful to our new title sponsor, The Del Mar Plaza and the Brutten family, as well as our major sponsors: The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, and Gelson’s Market.” In fact, at all San Diego locations,

Globe-trotting TPHS alumna releases debut novel

La Jolla Cultural Partners

“The Atlas of Forgotten Places” by Jenny D. Williams

JOIN US FOR

BY ROB LEDONNE Throughout her life, Jenny D. Williams’ passport has collected a litany of stamps from across the globe. A graduate of Torrey Pines High School who also played soccer for the San Dieguito Surf for eight seasons (including helping the Surf become national champs in 2000), Williams has had stints in Asia, Central America, New York, Germany and Colorado. However, it was her time in Africa that left the biggest impression. “(After graduating from UC Berkeley), I quit a job in book publishing and traveled to Africa on a one-way ticket. I spent eight months backpacking across the continent and ended up in Kampala, where I spent six months with the Lutheran World Federation, a non-missionary humanitarian organization,” said Williams, who holds an MFA from Brooklyn College and currently resides in Seattle. “Part of my job was to travel to sites all over the country and in South Sudan, interview people who were involved in the LWF’s Jenny D. Williams projects, and write human interest stories.”

While in northern Uganda’s Kitgum district, Williams witnessed firsthand the polarizing volatility of the region, arriving after a ceasefire had been reached between the Lord’s Resistance Army and the country’s government.

According to Williams, it was a time of relative peace. And yet, “the devastating effects of the decades-long conflict were persistent.”

It was her experience in Kitgum, as well as a stint in Garamba (a national park that housed white rhinos before their population was decimated thanks to poaching), that laid the roots for her debut novel. Titled “The Atlas of Forgotten Places,” Williams describes its epic story as part

political thriller, part love story. “It’s set against the backdrop of ivory smuggling and civil war in Uganda and the Democratic Republic of Congo,” she says. “It’s about two women from different worlds who become bound in a quest to save their loved ones.”

Having never written a novel before but determined to learn, Williams penned “The Atlas of Forgotten Places” during a two-year period where she found herself working as a copy editor for a book publisher in another part of the world: Marburg, Germany. “I had a flexible schedule, which was ideal for the kind of immersive work needed for the novel,” explained Williams, who started off writing vignettes, short stories and essays about Kitgum and then expanded from there. “When it actually came down to writing those drafts, each one took me about eight months from start to finish, writing three to six hours a day.”

After a three-year period of sending out queries, Williams found a publisher in Thomas Dunne Books and the fruits of her labor will be released to the world on July 11. Making the venture all the more worth it is the critical praise Atlas is receiving, including a rave review from influential Publisher’s Weekly for one, which called it “Gritty and intricately plotted.”

While currently working as a writer for Google, Williams is enjoying the end of her long journey to bring her story to life. Of course, she’s also already plotting her next literary opus. “I do have other novel ideas simmering and have started researching one,” she said. “My husband has requested that I try not to write about a place where I’ll need a military escort to visit... We’ll see.”

Williams will be speaking about her novel at the Del Mar Library (1309 Camino del Mar, Del Mar, 92014) on Saturday, July 29, at 1:30 p.m. Williams is a former Teachers & Writers Collaborative fellow and recipient of an Elizabeth George Foundation grant for emerging writers.

“The Atlas of Forgotten Places” is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble and will be available wherever books are sold starting July 11. For more about Williams, visit www.jennydwilliams.com. Follow Williams on Instagram: @StateOfWander.

“Extraordinary Properties” for “Extraordinary Lives”

Encinitas Estates!

Grammy Award-winning band Switchfoot performs “Float” with fourth through sixth graders from Casillas Elementary in Chula Vista at San Diego International Airport on June 19.

Switchfoot empowers youth with performance at airport

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Amidst the sounds of overhead announcements and the general hustle and bustle of an airport, live music filled terminal two at San Diego International Airport on the morning of June 19 when Switchfoot performed a brief concert with children from the area.

The Grammy Award-winning musical group, which hails from Encinitas, played three songs with local youth to celebrate the band’s nearby art installation at Gate 36 and to preview its upcoming Bro-Am music and surf event on June 24 at Moonlight Beach.

The gallery will be on display for airport travelers past security checkpoints through September. It includes photos, instruments used on the band’s albums and customized surfboards, commemorating Bro-Am, which is entering its 13th year.

Lifehouse, Donavon Frankenreiter, G. Love and Cisco Adler are also slated to perform at the June 24 event. There will also be various surf competitions, including the More “BRO” than Pro Team Surf Contest, the Rob Machado Bro Junior Surf Contest, the Challenged Athletes Foundation Kids’ Surf Contest, and the comedic Surf Joust Expression Session.

Jon Foreman, lead vocalist and guitarist for Switchfoot, considers Bro-Am a “group hug” with Encinitas.

“We were just over in Europe last week, and there’s something really special about being able to travel the world and know that your hometown still plays a huge part in who you are,” he said.

Players from the San Diego Youth Symphony and Conservatory, as well as fourth through sixth grade singers from Casillas Elementary in Chula Vista, joined Switchfoot on stage for two songs during the special airport performance.

Foreman, after finishing the band’s signature song “Dare You to Move,” said supporting the children is at the band’s core.

Each year, Switchfoot’s Bro-Am Foundation

raises money and awareness for underprivileged and at-risk youth.

“I think part of me likes kids more than I like adults,” he said, smiling. “I feel like kids are honest and real, and music is the same way where it has this honesty. For me, I think back to when I was a kid and music became this vehicle that I could use to go places. I want that same empowerment for the next generation.”

The band teamed up with Casillas — which was recently recognized as a VH1 Save the Music school and received $35,000 in band equipment — earlier this school year when they heard the choir was learning the band’s song “Float.” Switchfoot, after surprising the students in class, then invited the children to perform with them at the airport and at Bro-Am. Lilly, a 10-year-old Casillas student, said she was excited to sing with Switchfoot and just be able to participate in the arts in general.

“Sometimes people with cell phones and other electronics can just forget the things that entertained us before that stuff,” the fourth grader said. “We’re helping to spread the influence of art all around the world.”

Briandi, another 10-year-old fourth grader, agreed, adding music is important because “it helps your brain develop and is relaxing.”

Casillas Music Teacher Jonathan Seligman said he is grateful to Switchfoot for performing with his kids and for being humble in the process.

Seligman considers the performing arts for kids as vital. “It’s a way for them to express themselves,” he said. “Our school is very well known for its sports, but there are still those students who are not able to express themselves because they’re not athletically inclined. When music first came to Casillas, you just saw a lot of people who were in the shadows of these athletes. For a group like Switchfoot validating this and telling us we’re doing a great job, that’s huge.”

Experience luxury apartment living in Altura Carmel Valley

A

“stunning” views. Some of the units will look out onto a “gorgeous and tranquil” courtyard while others can see out to the ocean. One unit on the third floor leased the same day Altura opened as the leasers were awestruck by the view — residents will get amazing views of the canyon and Carmel Valley’s open space.

“You feel like an eagle,” Roman said of the soaring unobstructed view.

Inside the apartments, all of the finishes are standard, including quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, wood-style plank flooring and carpet in the bedrooms. The kitchens all feature a five-burner gas stove and each unit has a full-size, front-loading washer and dryer. The bedrooms all have large walk-in closets and residents have the option to pick from a palette of accent wall colors for the bedrooms.

Layouts throughout the project cater to people’s different needs — some feature more of a “great room” style, while others have a more traditional dining room space.

“It’s very unique with how we’ve used the square footage. There’s a lot of usable space, you’re not losing square footage to a hallway,” Roman said.

Altura Carmel Valley The spacious Altura is loaded with amenities for residents, including two resort-style pools with cabanas, 10 outdoor barbecues and grills in the courtyard.

There will be a fully-equipped fitness center with a spin and yoga room, as well as a sports simulator and a bike repair shop. The pet-friendly community features a dog park with a pet spa and local trails are easily accessible nearly out the front door.

Altura plans to build community by offering residents many events such as Super Bowl and holiday parties, sushi-making classes and succulent workshops in its private clubhouse, also available for residents to rent for events.

“I do nothing but new construction and this is probably my favorite property because of the curves and edges used on the architecture outside and the contemporary feel on the inside,” Roman said.

Schedule a tour because, as Roman said, hearing the pricing alone doesn’t do the property justice.

“Come in and see what we have to offer,” Roman said.

BY KAREN BILLING ltura Carmel Valley, built into the hillside of Carmel Valley off Carmel Creek Road, is setting the new standard for luxury rental living.

“Luxury apartments are a lifestyle and one you choose if you’re looking for something that has a home feel with upgrades and a huge kitchen, but still has all of the services and amenities we provide,” said Karina Roman, Altura’s sales and operations manager. “Moving is such a life event. People who are moving are always looking for a new start and they’re looking for quality.”

Altura began leasing in May and residents have already happily moved into the completed side of the community. When fully completed by December, there will be 181 total units spread out among three-level Italian villa-style buildings nestled on the green hill.

Altura features brand new one-, two- and three-bedroom apartments starting at $2,800 a month, as well as three-bedroom, three-bathroom townhomes, which have their own garages.

SEBASTIAN MONTES

The San Diego International Beer Festival attracts 1,500 beers and more than 8,000 attendees over three days at the Del Mar Fairgrounds.

Fair’s beer festival brings craft-beer gospel to masses

BY SEBASTIAN MONTES he menu of offerings at the San Diego International Beer Festival has grown so vast and varied that even its co-founder (and local beer impresario) Tom Nickel is at a loss to keep up.

“I’d be surprised if I even get to try 20 or 30 in the festival’s three days,” Nickel said.

“There’s just no way to sample everything.”

That’s 1,500 beers in 51 categories from a dozen countries and nearly 30 states — 360 of which were poured at the five sessions that are spread out over three days, June 16-18. As the 1,200 attendees on Sunday, June 18 happily threw back the unlimited pours at the Del Mar Arena, Nickel reflected on how far the festival has come since he helped it evolve from the county fair’s home-brewing contest. He pointed to hard-to-find brews from Belgium and Australia — even one from Tibet — as evidence of what he might love most about the three-day extravaganza that now attracts more than 8,000 people.

“This is more about the everyday beer drinker rather than the diehard craft drinkers,” he said. “Doing this during the fair means we capture a different crowd than the people who are going to, say, North Park or the Brewers Guild Festival or the Stone Brewing Anniversary party or any of those other big festivals around town. At those you’re preaching to the choir a little bit. Here we get a lot of people who are curious about craft beer but maybe not really steeped in it yet.”

Despite how much the festival has grown since its 2007 debut, it hasn’t outgrown its local roots. North County breweries hold their own year in and year out: Pizza Port Brewing Company and The Lost Abbey are safe bets to nab gold medals, not to mention the slew of winners from the region’s emerging beer hotbed between Sorrento Valley and Mira Mesa, a hub that now boasts more than two dozen breweries and a pair of distilleries.

Leading those breweries was this year’s overall champion, AleSmith Brewing Company, which had two of its beers win top honors in their respective categories:

T

Private Stock for the British-style strong ales and Old Numbskull for the barley wines.

“We always like to bring some beers that get the beer geeks excited — like one we showed earlier today, Noble Empire, our bourbon-barrel-aged imperial porter, which retails for $32 a bottle,” said Eric McCoy, a sales rep for AleSmith. “We always like to pour something like that, but we also make sure to pour something for the people, which this year is our pilsner, a little bit lighter and kind of for a less-discerning palate.”

Taking top honors in a region as suds-obsessed as San Diego, Nickel said, brings with it a level of prestige roughly on a par with winning a wine award in Napa Valley.

“This keeps getting better and better every year,” McCoy said. “The quality of beer is getting better and there’s more breweries involved, which means more competition, which means more prestige, and that’s driving even more breweries to come in.”

All that growth has now brought the festival to a tipping point.

Two years ago, the competition portion of the festival drew 900 entries. This year the India pale ale (IPA) category alone brought in 100 of the 1,500 entries overall — so many that the Del Mar Arena barely has room for them all.

That trajectory has compelled the festival’s managers to meet this summer to figure out whether to break off into a standalone event not during the county fair, a decision complicated by the fact that the fair’s beer, wine and liquor festivals have become a key part of the fair’s strategy for keeping attendance — and relevance — up.

“We can’t really grow any bigger in this space so the decision has to be made of whether this is the size we want to be or do we want to let this keep growing,” Nickel said. “Certainly if we moved into something like O’Brien Hall or one of the fairground’s other big venues, we could handle more breweries, more people, have it maybe be a four-day event.”

SPONSORED COLUMNS at concerts and other public events. Terrorism is a form of psychological trauma.

DR. ERIKA KAO Clinical Psychologist 858.472.8959 CA Licensed Psychologist 20112

Talking to Your Kids About Terrorism After the bombing at the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester, England, I was interviewed by a local news station regarding the psychological effects that the reporting of such terrorist activities has on kids. In the short time allotted on live TV, I didn’t say all that I wanted. A month since the bombing, terrorist acts continue. For the many parents and young people who still have questions, I want to get more in depth on a topic that unfortunately remains highly relevant.

How might young people react to the Ariana Grande concert bombing?

Concerts are very special events for young people, a place where they can let their guard down and really have fun in a relatively safe environment. An act of terrorism such as this may destroy this sense of wellbeing and safety

What is psychological trauma?

It an overwhelming event that exceeds one’s ability to cope. The world becomes random, uncertain, and unsafe. Such perceptions may lead to depression and anxiety, especially after repeated or long-term exposure to trauma.

Children who have experienced another major stressor, such as a move to a new school or the loss of a family member, are more at risk, as are those who tend to be anxious or sensitive.

What signs of psychological trauma should parents look for in their children?

Signs of trauma in children of all ages are stomach and digestive distress, frequent sighing, sleeplessness, nightmares, nail biting, increased crying and irritability, and acting out. Social withdrawal and reduction in activities are also indicators.

What should parents do to help their children and themselves deal with the threat of terrorism?

Standard advice is that we should avoid watching the news and should focus on the fact that the probability of being in a terrorist

DR. VAN CHENG San Diego Vein Institute 760.944.9263 sdveininstitute.com

attack is quite low. I want to say something different.

what is going on. Affection, laughter, and play almost always are good ways to connect.

Routine and structure are important for all children, especially children who are very young. Spend more quality time reading, cuddling, and playing with them. Tell them where you are going and when you will be back. If you are going to be late, make sure you or the caregiver lets them know. Answer questions about terrorism with just the basics and emphasize to your child that she is safe.

On a practical level, because terrorism can happen anywhere, have a family emergency plan. Hopefully, and in all likelihood, you will never have to use it. But having a plan may help to provide a sense of safety when attending a big event or while traveling.

Reconnect with older children, especially teens, in the wake of a terrorist act. Most adolescents speak more to their friends and less to their parents. Talk to them in the car when driving them to school and their many activities. For independent, older teens, get one-on-one time with them by taking them out for coffee or dinner. Just being there provides them with a valuable sense of security.

Although you may feel fear and anger about terrorism, instead express calmness, understanding, and kindness. Displays of high anxiety and aggression serve to increase the experience of trauma. Venting to your children and telling them to toughen up are rarely good ideas, as is telling them to ignore

Empower your children and yourself to take power away from terrorists. Maybe do this through activism, prayer, volunteering, writing letters to honor the deceased and survivors, or simply by enjoying your family time more. Remember that in times of terror, people rally and support one another.

“

I couldn’t be any happier with the service that was provided to me by the Mossy Team. They made the entire process painless! I hadn’t bought a car in 10 years so I was nervous going in, but they explained every detail and made sure I understood what I was about to sign. They made sure my car was clean and gassed up before I drove off with my new 2017 Nissan Rogue! I am beyond in love with my new car! I definitely recommend going in to Mossy if you’re in the market to buy a new car.

Birds of a Feather Gala to benefit nature and community

A volunteer in his 80s gently places a native seedling into the soil. An intern in her collegiate studies learns the latest conservation techniques through the mentorship of conservancy biologists and educators. A student whispers to the naturalist on the trail how exciting it is to see an ocean for the first time. Birds of a Feather gala supports the programs that enhance nature, and provide community conservation throughout North County San Diego.

San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy announces advance tickets are on sale for Birds of a Feather gala, themed Rooted in Flight, benefiting nature and community. The signature 30th Anniversary gala will occur on Saturday, Oct. 7 from 5-9 p.m. at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club.

“This will be a memorable evening,” said Doug Gibson, conservancy executive director and principal scientist. “We imagine a future where more plants and animals thrive, where community agriculture expands, and where the youth in our field trips today will evolve to be leaders for nature now, and in the next generation. Our sponsors and members have helped us soar for the last three decades into a future that is rooted in flight.”

Longtime Conservancy members Peter House and Carol Childs return as Title Sponsors and Honorary Gala Chairs. “Many of us find that we need to take vacations in places of complete or relative wilderness to reconnect with nature,” shared Carol Childs.

“With the lagoon, however, we have a beautiful, refreshing and accessible wilderness right in our backyards.”

Dave Lewis and Christine Brown are award-winning local pianists who will deliver contemporary and classical elegance to the evening.

Guests can enjoy photo opportunities by Nine10 and live bird encounters with Project Wildlife.

As the silent auction begins, hosted specialty cocktails and savory tray-passed hors d’oeuvres are presented. A plated full course menu will be paired with wine options (full bar available). Online reservations for advance tickets, tables, and continuing gala sponsorships may be secured at www.SanElijo.org/BF17

Kicking off summer with the Holy Grill

I

ntoxicating aromas of smoky mesquite and bold hickory filling the warm air herald the arrival of summer, and tweak nostalgic memories of childhood. Those were the wild-and-crazy barbecuing days when the Weber grill was king, meat was burned beyond recognition over reckless flames from charcoal bricks doused with toxic lighter fluid, while arm hair and eyebrows were always in danger of being singed. Despite the many hazards, grilling has survived, and thankfully, evolved into a greener, cleaner high-tech art and science without striping away the basic principles of cooking in the great outdoors with fire. It’s primordial and ensconced in our DNA. Archaeologists recently discovered giant hearths in the Middle East and other parts littered with crude flints and cooking utensils, along with the charred bones of woolly rhinos and mammoths dating back hundreds of thousands of years. It appears that our cave-dwelling ancestors pioneered barbecue cuisine.

Here are some modern-day grilling tips for a sizzling, safe summer.

From the Frying Pan to the Fire: Top chefs are transporting cast iron and stainless steel skillets and sheet pans to the grill to add a smoky essence to hearty hashes, egg

scrambles, risottos, paellas, cioppinos, stews, sauces, mussels and clams in beer broth, pizzas, an assortment of root vegetables, stone fruits, along with nuts and grains.

High-Tech Temps: The state-of-the-art Bluetooth grill thermometer allows the barbecue meister to monitor the cooking process and adjust temperatures via a smart phone or other mobile device at remote locations. A pair of probes, one inserted in the food, the other attached to the grill relay real time feedback to the chef for the cooking status. The meat babysitter controls heat distribution for even cooking, prevents burning or searing, and messages when the food has reached the desired doneness. If a skilled veterinarian or marine biologist can revive the meat, fowl or fish, then return it to the hot grill.

Beef, veal and lamb should reach at least 145-degrees F (medium rare), 155-degrees F (medium), or 160-degrees F (medium well); same temperature for pork, but give the latter a short nap before serving; poultry is safe at 165-degrees F, while scaled fish should be cooked internally to 145-degrees F. Finally, bivalves like mussels need to be grilled until their shells open sesame, otherwise discard.

once a cooking tool for the grilling elite are now popular among the grilling masses. This method infuses meats with a deep mesquite flavor, and a fall-off-the-bone tenderness.

Technology can now transform ordinary gas grills into smoker boxes, while other grills have built-in paraphernalia from baskets to drawers for a variety of smoking needs.

Portable smoker boxes in all shapes and sizes can also be thrown on the Barbie, along with pizza stones, rotisseries, warming racks, side burners for searing and sauce preparations, and copper grill baskets for foods either too fragile or difficult to flip, or that might slip through the grill cracks like shrimp or vegetables.

Chip off the Old Block: Electric wood-pellet grills with assorted aromatic hardwood pellets are sizzling this summer.

This eco-friendly grilling method that also multi-tasks to smoke, braise, roast and bake imparts a natural outdoorsy flavor (more so than gas or charcoal), without leaving ash behind.

Come Clean: Now grill clean-up is a snap with new fangled gadgets and eco-friendly fluids. Fred Flintstone-era wire brushes that splinter and contaminate foods are replaced by safer and greener nylon and wooden scrapers, and high-powered steam cleaning ones that remove most of the carcinogenic grill grime. Soy-based cleansers or a natural homemade paste blending baking soda and water are healthier options than chemical ones. And for damage control rub the cut surface of an onion over the grill followed by a non-stick olive oil spray to prevent foods from glomming on.

barbecue sauce, try the new creamy pale version out of Alabama for a nice kick without the red. A blend of mayo, acids (lemon juice and cider vinegar), herbs and spices, it lends well to marinades for fish and fowl, or drizzled on burgers, roasted chicken and veggies, or as an all-purpose dipping sauce or salad dressing.
