New housing boosts DMUSD enrollment BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District will kick off the school year welcoming a lot of new students due to the increased and expedited new housing developments in Pacific Highlands Ranch. According to Jason Romero, assistant superintendent of human resources, there is room at the schools and teachers are excited for more “amazing” families to join the district. In 2015-16, the district’s enrollment was at 4,389 students and the district is projected to reach 4,527 students this year. With one specific apartment building in Pacific Highlands Ranch, the student generation factor the district had been using was blown out of the water, Romero said. “Attainable housing brought two times the amount of students, therefore we needed to increase the amount of teachers,” Romero said of the new moderate income units which led to the district’s hiring of six additional teachers for the school year. At Avino, the luxury-style one-to-three-bedroom apartment units, only four students have been enrolled of the 15 occupied units, generating far fewer than other developments in the district. Avino is planned for 276 total apartments with 80 expected to be completed this year. At Cielo Carmel’s one-to-three-bedroom attainable units, they are seeing a much higher generation factor than any other development in the district’s boundary, Romero said. The district has already enrolled over 40 students from the first 100 units and are projecting up to 70 by year’s end. “At build out for the 197 units, we will likely exceed 100 students coming from that complex,” Romero said. Ashley Falls School will see the largest increase in new SEE HOUSING, A23

BY KAREN BILLING After an environmental review, the city of San Diego has selected the eastern alignment for the new, widened El Camino Real. The alignment was determined to be the environmentally superior alternative, offering minimum impacts to land use and the best long-term improvement to traffic conditions, according to Jayna Straughn, an associate civil engineer with the city’s department of public works.

The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board unanimously approved the widening on Aug. 25 and it will now go to San Diego City Council for approval. With the project, the road will be raised and moved to the east, widened to four lanes between San Dieguito Road and Via de la Valle.

Advocates urge study on horse racing deaths

Village parking garage construction underway, residential next

BY EDWARD SIFUENTES Animal rights advocates urged the California Horse Racing Board last Thursday to investigate why more horses have died at the Del Mar Racetrack this season than in recent years. A handful of advocates, including former Assemblywoman Lori Saldaña, attended the board’s monthly meeting held at the Surfside Race Place at the Del Mar Fairgrounds to press the agency for action. They said too many horses are dying after injuries while racing or training at the seaside facility. “We are out here today to ask the board to investigate the reasons for these breakdowns, these injuries and these deaths,” Saldaña said. The board did not commit to conducting a study, but said it’s already taking steps to prevent the injuries, including adding more personnel to inspect horses and tightening blood screening standards to make sure horses are healthy enough to race. So far this year, the number of horses that have been injured and euthanized at the track is far higher than in recent years. The Del Mar Racetrack’s summer season ends its 39-day run on Labor Day, Sept. 5. According to the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, 16 horses have died at the track this summer, six while racing and 10 while training. That’s compared to nine horses that died last summer (six while training, three while racing) and 11 that died during the 2014 summer racing season (three while training and eight while racing). Counting only the horses that died while racing, Del Mar has seen 2.89 deaths per 1,000 starts this year. Nationwide there were about

BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board reviewed architectural changes to the affordable housing units at the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch at its Aug. 25 meeting. The development was approved in 2013 and the changes are mostly in architectural detail and building layout, according to Dan Gause of Wermers Properties — there have been no changes to the number of units, size, height or style. Construction on the 79 affordable housing units, split between two sites at the Village, cannot begin until the Village’s parking garage is complete in about a year. The parking structure is currently under construction at the site and soon construction will begin on the Village’s 252 market rate residential apartments. One of the affordable housing developments will be four stories with a garage underneath on the corner of the Village across from Panera Bread. The second set of affordable housing units will be to the east of Crunch Fitness and next to Laterra, a 69-unit townhome product on Village Loop Road.

After the sixth race jockey Brandon Boulanger walks away from horse Presidential Air after it went down before the finish. Presidential Air was euthanized after race officials determined the filly had a broken leg. 1.69 deaths per 1,000 starts in 2015, a 14 percent drop from the previous year’s rate of 1.89, according to an analysis released in March by The Jockey Club, a thoroughbred industry group. The 2015 numbers marked the lowest fatality rate since the organization started analyzing the data in 2009. Del Mar Thoroughbred Club President Joe Harper said Thursday the racetrack will increase its efforts to reduce deaths next summer. “I’m in this business because I love animals. I love horses and believe me when one is injured, we all feel it,” Harper said. “And like animal rights folks, we want to find out what we can do to help prevent or at least slow down some of these injuries.” Over the years, the club has funded studies on racing deaths but found no definitive answers and no single cause, Harper said. “There’s no commonality,” Harper said. “What we see is a vulnerability more than anything else in the morning. Remember, you have over 2,000 horses (training). It’s so many

horses out there that that’s where you’re going to see your injuries. And the fact is, we have no control over who goes out there. We have control over who goes out there in the afternoon (to race), so we’ll scratch a horse we feel is not sound.” Other steps the racetrack will be taking next summer is pushing back Opening Day a few days (to July 19) to give horses more time to adjust to the track, Harper said. The club will also do additional blood work on horses before and after races to make sure the animals are healthy enough to race. California Horse Racing Board Executive Director Rick Baedeker said the racetrack and the board had each added one additional veterinarian at Del Mar to examine horses before and after each race. Animal rights advocates said they’re not convinced the state board and racetrack officials are doing everything they can to stop the injuries. “You need to do more,” said Martha SEE HORSES, A20

Committee to review traffic in busy Pacific Highlands Ranch BY KAREN BILLING As Pacific Highlands Ranch grows, so does the traffic. In response, the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board established an ad-hoc subcommittee on Aug. 25 to review traffic issues in the area. The subcommittee will also review traffic generated by projects coming from its neighbors to the east such as Merge 56, a new commercial and housing development on Camino Del Sur. The area surrounding Canyon Crest Academy is currently experiencing a lot of construction and will face future growth. CCA’s enrollment trends continue to go up and the new classroom building is currently being built; next door neighbor Pacific Trails Middle School’s enrollment will increase as an eighth grade class is added to the school this year; 699 more multi-family homes are being built in the adjacent area; Pacific Highlands Ranch Community Park and Recreation Center is coming on Village Center Loop Road; and more businesses will open their doors in the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch as it is built out. In January, the planning board approved a proposal by CCA students to install a protected left signal to

As both pedestrians and drivers are given green lights to go, students try to cross the street in bulk and cars navigate the crowded intersection in confusion, trying to avoid both students on foot and cars making right turns out of the Village. Students reported lots of near-misses last year.

Update: Six run for three open Update: Six seek open seats on Solana Beach council seats on Del Mar council BY KRISTINA HOUCK Six people — including two incumbents — will be competing in the November election for three open seats on the Del Mar City Council. The Union-Tribune Community Press published a story detailing five of the six candidates last week. Councilman Al Corti, who is seeking a second term, was out of town at the time. “As a member of two different council teams over the last four years and with community support, I felt we accomplished much,” Corti said. “I believe we can do more, and with encouragement and support by many in Del Mar, I am prepared to help finish what we started.” Corti, who has been a Del Mar resident for more than two decades, was elected to the council in 2012. During his time on council, Corti said he is proud the council achieved community consensus for the design of city hall and finally started construction after more than 30 years of discussing and analyzing the project. He is also proud that the council established community priorities through comprehensive citizen surveys, doubling the annual amount the city spends to repair roads as one example, he said.

Among other accomplishments, he is proud the council approved the affordable housing element, created the pension reserve fund, established the Business Advisory Committee, and studied the sheriff’s service contract, finding that it “is not in the best interests of Del Mar.” If re-elected to the council, Corti wants to see the successful grand opening of city hall. He also wants to continue to make more pedestrian-friendly improvements in the city. In addition, he said he wants to make downtown Del Mar more commercially viable for residents and businesses alike, create affordable housing units, and, if passed, use the sales tax increase to improve the city’s roads, security, parks and other major capital expenditure desires of the community. “I do not have an agenda other than to work hard to serve the entire community,” Corti said. “Their priorities are mine and I will always try to satisfy them in a fair, sensible and financially responsible manner.” Mayor Sherryl Parks is also seeking a second term. The four other candidates are Jim Benedict, David Druker, Ellen Haviland and T. Patrick Stubbs. To learn SEE DM COUNCIL, A22

Two incumbents run unopposed for Solana Beach School Board

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Two Solana Beach School Board incumbents are running unopposed this November. Board members Rich Leib and Julie Union are both seeking another term. “We’ve always had great schools,” said Leib, whose three daughters — a college graduate, college student and high school student — attended schools in the district. “My No. 1 goal is to make sure that they remain great when we leave.” Rich Leib Julie Union A Solana Beach resident for 21 years, Leib was first elected to the board in 2008 and re-elected to the board in 2012. Leib said he decided to run for a third term to support Superintendent Terry Decker, who the board selected as the district’s new superintendent last year. Decker, who previously served as the district’s assistant superintendent of instructional services, replaced former Superintendent Nancy Lynch, who left the district last June. “He’s extremely accessible and makes good decisions,” Leib said. “I’m very positive about him, but he is new, so I think it’s important to give him that stability for the next four years.” SEE SB SCHOOL BOARD, A20

Women Who Lead

Martha Dennis shares obstacles faced in technology career BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN hen young doctoral student Martha Dennis left Harvard University without writing her thesis and moved to La Jolla in 1970, her advisor prophesized she would not complete it. “(He) announced to me that no female graduate student who moved away ever finished her thesis, and I took that as a challenge,” Dennis said during an Aug. 18 speech at the La Jolla Woman’s Club as a guest of the organization’s “Women in Leadership” speaker series. Dennis successfully completed her thesis, just one example of the many challenges she overcame throughout her 60-year career as a female technology and software engineer, entrepreneur and CEO. The next was right around the corner when as she was forming her thesis committee, one of the professors she invited told her, “I’d be happy to be on your committee, just be sure to wear those sexy earrings I like so much, I’ll be sure to pass you.” “I’d like to believe that in 2016 women can be taken seriously anywhere they go, but that’s still a work in progress,” Dennis said at the start of the speech detailing her career in the male-dominated field of technology engineering. Her first contact with prejudice came in high school, she explained, when she had to sneak into her professor’s office without being seen by her friends to talk science,

But the bias against women didn’t end in academia, Dennis reported. During her first job interview after receiving her Ph.D. she impressed the interviewer with her resumé,

but was informed she would not be made an offer, “because I was a married woman at a child-bearing age, and with no doubt, eager to have children. … I was powerless at combating his attitude, but it really warms my heart to know that what that interviewer said to me is totally illegal today.” Motivated by a desire to make lives easier through technology and keeping a passion for technology that she still practices, Dennis took over her career with courage,

determination and hard work. Of all her contributions to the world, she’s most proud of being part of the team that developed the idea of having data service in cell phones. “At the time, state-of-the-art cellular phones consisted of large phones usable only for making phone calls. Against that, Pacific Communications Sciences, Incorporated (a company she co-founded) created a system to provide data communication, as well as voice communication, to the cellular phone … that became the model for using the cell phone for instant ubiquitous Internet connection,” she explained. However, though she said she feels privileged to be part of the tech world, she prides herself on breaking ground for other women who have followed her lead. “I sincerely hope I helped pave the way for younger women so that they have an easier time in the tech world,” Dennis said. Her other passion is the arts, as she discovered when she landed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in the late 1960s. Among her efforts to contribute to the arts, she counts being immediate past chair of the La Jolla Music Society and, she joked, “getting out of the lab to attend a concert.” Dennis highlighted the difficulties of raising three children in a family where both parents had very involved careers, but she SEE DENNIS, A20

Teen helps develop company to provide access to clean water BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although still in high school, local teen Mihika Nadig is working to solve one of the world’s biggest problems: access to clean water.

The business aims to provide drinking water by creating a simple and effective technology to desalinate and eliminate impurities in brackish and sea water. “We saw the statistics for the huge water scarcity problem in the world, and we saw the solutions being implemented to try and solve it, and we saw many problems with them,” said 17-year-old Mihika, who is starting her senior year at Torrey Pines High School.

New treatment does wonders for local man BY CHRIS SAUR Jim Brusso’s wife Anita, and the rest of his friends and family, call him Superman for the way he has fought against melanoma since it first reared its ugly head in 2008 and came on strong in multiple places throughout his body in October 2013. But even Superman needs a little help sometimes — and Brusso got that from Dr. Ed McClay, an oncologist who has studied melanoma since 1984 and works several times a week at an office in Encinitas. This past April, just days before Brusso was set to have major brain surgery — the plan was to take what they could from a tumor on his pituitary gland that was causing him to lose his eyesight because of its proximity to his optic nerves — a visit to Dr. McClay had miraculous results. “He said he had this new stuff back in the closet, and they’ve had real good results with this … and I’d like to try it,” Brusso remembers. “I said ‘Get it out!’ ” That new stuff was a combination of two medications, Zelboraf and Cotellic. Brusso took a half dose of the sample, in the parking lot of the doctor’s office in Escondido, started a full dose the next day, and just about a week later, his vision was totally back. Even more good news came at his last brain MRI, when Brusso learned that the pituitary gland tumor — one of a couple Brusso has but the one that has given him by far the most trouble — has reduced in size by more than 50 percent. For the past month or so, Jim has seen a great improvement in his quality of life as he has felt well enough to spend more time with the large group of friends and family that visit the Brussos at their Oceanside home on a regular basis. It’s the best present Anita and Jim could ask for as they recently celebrated their 44th wedding anniversary. “It was a miracle,” Anita Brusso says. And a great bit of timing. According to Dr. McClay — who after 26 years working in universities, including two stints at UC San Diego where he started the melanoma research

Jim Brusso, seen here eating with his wife Anita, has seen great improvement in his health thanks to a melanoma treatment suggested by Encinitas doctor Ed McClay. program, now heads the melanoma program at cCARE, a private practice oncology group — treatment for melanoma has improved greatly in just the past few years. “Since the 1970s and 1980s through 2011, there have only been two medicines for treating melanoma patients. Since 2011, we have had eight medicines approved,” McClay explained. There is an example unfortunately close to the Brussos as Jim’s brother had a similar diagnosis a few years earlier, though it wasn’t caught until much further along, and the treatment available at the time was unable to prevent his death. What researches have learned now, is that about 50 percent of melanoma patients have a mutation in a gene called B-RAF. This allowed them to develop drugs like Zelboraf and Cotellic, which work together to target that specific problem. Not only do those drugs target melanoma in patients with the gene mutation, but they have been successful in breaking the

blood-brain barrier, a safety filtering mechanism of the body that has historically hindered the ability of some medicine to be effective in the brain. And talk about good timing? When Brusso went to see McClay just before his surgery, Cotellic had only been approved for two months. “It’s one thing to see a response, and another thing to have a guy that’s ready to have a tumor taken out of his brain and to see that kind of response to some pills that he’s taking, it’s remarkable,” McClay said. “I’ve been doing melanoma research for many, many years, and it’s just amazing to see this kind of stuff happen for people now.” Brusso and his wife both come from the Riverside/San Bernardino area, with Jim working on a ranch growing up. Jim went into the Air Force reserves in 1971, then came to San Diego to attend United States International University, which at that time had its campus where Point Loma Nazarene is now. The Brussos got married in 1972 and moved back up to Riverside where Jim became a teacher. With their two sons — Jared, now 35, and Jordan, 30 — the Brussos moved back to the San Diego area in the early 1980s, living in North County. Both retired now, Jim Brusso worked at Valley Middle School in Carlsbad for 21 years, while Anita was a successful sales rep for a title company. Those lives well-lived have created the Brussos’ large support system that they both say has been vital to Jim’s battle with the disease. Anita says it’s the little things, a text saying “Love you” or “I’m thinking of you” that make the biggest difference. As has the help of Jim’s team of doctors, including McClay, who has been back in San Diego since 1999 and now lives in Bonsall with his wife of over 30 years, Mary-Eileen. They have two children. McClay works with patients at cCARE’s offices in Escondido, Vista and Encinitas. The Encinitas office is at 477 N. El Camino Real.

Grooving their way toward healthy hearts Torrey Pines teen forms nonprofit to encourage seniors, heart patients, others to join in her passion for dance BY PAM KRAGEN When Sarah Ludington’s grandmother was going through chemotherapy last winter, one of the things that lifted her spirits was dance. “Sometimes she watched my dance videos and sometimes we’d just be baking cookies in the kitchen together and we’d start dancing. It could turn a bad day into a good day and it brought a lot of happiness. I found it really inspiring,” said Sarah, 16, who is on the varsity dance team at Torrey Pines High School. After her grandmother recovered last spring, Sarah wanted to find a way to use her passion for dance to brighten the hearts of other seniors around North County. So a few months ago, the Carmel Valley teen started Dance2Heal, a nonprofit where teen dancers like herself can perform not only for seniors, children and people with disabilities, but with them. Last week, Sarah and three other girls with Dance2Heal presented their second free dance program at an Encinitas heart clinic. Sarah’s mom, Dr. Katherine Ludington, is a cardiologist who hosted the event and invited some of her patients for the hour-long program in her office lobby. The teens performed hip-hop, contemporary and tap dance routines, and then they invited all the patients to get involved by learning some steps for a group hip-hop dance to Justin Timberlake’s “Can’t Stop the Feeling.”

PEGGY PEATTIE U-T

Sarah Ludington, 16, leads staff and patients at North Coast Cardiology in a dance routine as part of her Dance2Heal program. Dr. Ludington said she hopes the dance events inspire her patients to consider dance as an entertaining way to keep “heart healthy.” She said a simple regimen of just 20 minutes of exercise six days a week can reduce the chance of stroke or heart attack by 30 percent. “Dance is a fun way to get their exercise.

They can do it at home, it doesn’t require any equipment and it doesn’t feel like exercise or hard work,” she said. Joining Sarah for the performance were fellow Torrey Pines dancers Madeline Lim and Rebekah Hardeman, both 17, as well as Sarah’s 11year-old sister, Abigail. All three girls said they love expressing themselves

through dance as a hobby, but Sarah dreams of making a career in dance. “I’ve been dancing as long as I can remember. I think I started when I was 3 years old at Mommy and Me classes,” she said. “There’s just something I feel when I’m dancing that’s hard to explain. It’s like nothing else.” Sarah just returned from a summer dance workshop at UCLA where she studied world dance. Her favorite style is hip-hop, which she performs at Torrey Pines and as a member of Future Shock, a youth team run by San Diego’s Culture Shock dance school. This was the second Dance2Heal event for Madeline, who like Sarah and Rebekah starts her senior year at Torrey Pines next week. She said at the first event on July 29, one senior woman was so enthusiastic she leapt out of her chair and joined the girls during their demonstration performance. Others in wheelchairs “danced” along using their arms. “It was really amazing because they were all so receptive,” Madeline said. “When you think of healing, you don’t exactly think of dancing. But the participants really enjoyed getting involved and had big smiles on their faces. Everyone had a good time.” Sarah said the goal of the program is to break down patients’ notion that just because they have some mobility limitations they can’t dance. “They’re not too old and it’s not something they can’t do.

Teen helps open elementary school in remote Kenyan village Carmel Valley resident Shawdi Amini, 14, recently traveled to Kenya with 30 other Kids for Peace (KFP) volunteers to open an elementary school for the children of a remote village called Mikei. This village has no electricity, plumbing, or amenities, and the residents use rainwater for bathing, cleaning, cooking, and drinking. Mikei has no permanent elementary school system and every year the location of the makeshift school may change thus forcing hundreds of children to walk for hours to get there. The kids are eager to learn, but their school environment is less than ideal, often lacking desks, chairs, books, pencils and lunches. Kids for Peace supported over 140 U.S. schools in raising the funds needed to build and furnish a permanent elementary school in Mikei. This school is comprised of four vibrant classrooms, a large auditorium/library, an office, a kitchen, an outhouse, two large water tanks, a playground structure, and a soccer field. The classroom walls are covered with colorful murals, alphabets, shapes, and numbers, as well as wall-to-wall bookshelves full of books. One teacher commented that their old school had no books, but in the new school, the kids can even read the walls! Although the school has no electricity it feels bright and welcoming. Shawdi’s travel companions ranged from 9-year-old elementary age children to retired schoolteachers and everything in between. They flew to Kenya carrying one ton of school supplies, 125 pounds of art supplies, and 3,500 books! They spent day

For most residents, it was their first time seeing puzzles, storybooks, puppets, dolls and Legos. One day, Shawdi led an art project where many of the kids had never used a paintbrush before. “They did a great job painting colorful pictures of cows, flowers

and people. My absolute favorite painting was the four-legged hen!” recalls Shawdi. “Getting to know the kids, their different personalities, their smiles and their warm nature was the best part of the trip for me,” claims Shawdi. By the end of the trip, Shawdi had learned many of the kids’ names and they flocked to her for hugs and conversation. She said it was really hard to say goodbye to them.

Currently a sophomore at Canyon Crest Academy, Shawdi has been a part of Kids for Peace since she was in second grade because the organization’s mission really strikes a chord with her: “To create peace through youth leadership, community service, global friendships, and thoughtful acts of kindness.” Kids for Peace was created exactly 10 years ago when Danielle Gram, a high school honors student, and Jill McManigal, a single mom and teacher, gathered a group of caring kids in a Carlsbad backyard. This was spurred by a Gandhi quote they had read, “If we are to achieve lasting peace, we must begin with the children.” Since then, Kids for Peace has experienced phenomenal growth and its programs now reach 118 countries in six continents and over five million kids. There are chapters not only across the U.S., but also in Iraq, Pakistan, India, China, Liberia, Uganda, Ghana, and so many more countries. Kids for Peace kids are changing the world one act of kindness at a time! Since this trip, Shawdi feels more compelled than ever to connect with and help communities in remote places. She learned a great deal from seeing kids who had absolutely no material belongings yet were so grateful, happy, friendly and at peace. As she continues through high school, she plans to stay involved with Kids for Peace and other such impactful organizations.

Torrey Pines Falcons won 23-10 over the Steele Canyon Cougars, a Division 1 semi-finalist last season. Torrey Pines opened the game looking like the young team they are, clearly struggling against the talent-packed Cougars, rushing 6 times for net 1 yard and attempting one pass which fell incomplete. Meanwhile the Cougars rushed 11 times for 36 yards and completed 4 of 6 passes for 54 yards, scoring the game’s first points on a field goal. As the second quarter opened the Falcons had made offensive and defensive adjustments, beginning to get defensive penetration into the Cougar backfield. The turning point seemed to be a sack by Jacob Schneider forcing the Cougars to punt. A line drive bouncing punt rolled to the 5, but the Falcon offense started mixing up their formations and play calls and the Cougars never regained their balance. Torrey Pines drove 90 yards, including a 19-yard catch by Mac Bingham, breaking tackles all the way, long runs by Sully O’Brien, Jack Nelson, and Bingham, and catches by Scotty Gange and Beau Morgans, capped by a Tanner Wyandt field goal to tie at 3-3. Steele Canyon had to change formation to put another man in the backfield to protect the pocket, but the Falcon secondary kept tight coverage and Cougar quarterback Thomas Fishburne had trouble all night finding an open receiver, finishing the night with a very respectable 16 of 24 for 145 yards and 1 interception, but also scrambled 11 times

for net 14 yards. Meanwhile Cougar-designed runs netted 43 yards in 14 carries. By contrast after the adjustments, Torrey Pines rushed 24 times for 193 yards and completed 8 of 12 passes for 197 yards and 1 interception, with sophomore quarterback Miles Hastings showing exceptional poise. On the Falcon’s next possession they drove for a touchdown from their own 12-yard line. Michael Gadinis caught a pass and broke a tackle for 43 yards and three plays later Hastings found Gange in the end zone for the score. With 52 seconds remaining in the half the Falcon defense flexed, kept the clock running, and the Cougars ran out of time ending the half behind 10-3. On the first play of the second half Hastings hit Gadinas, Gabe Gymr made a key block, and Gadinas scored to make it 17-3. The Cougars ground out a 17-play, 48-yard drive stalled on sacks by Schneider and Bingham, and when a fourth down pass was tipped the Falcons took over on their own 22. Midway through the fourth quarter the Cougars clawed back to 17-10 with a solid drive. But on the first play after the kickoff Luke Duerr burst through the line and ran 74 yards for a touchdown, and the Cougars were tamed, making increasingly desperate calls as time ticked away. A deep pass was intercepted by Morgans and run back all the way to the Cougar 38, from where the Falcons methodically used up the remaining four minutes. With first and goal at the 4, Hastings sportingly and wisely took knees until the clock ran out.

CCA volleyball team gets ‘comfortable being uncomfortable’ on Europe trip BY GIDEON RUBIN They played elite high school volleyball teams half a world away, toured historic Vienna and navigated the canals of Venice. But what Canyon Crest Academy volleyball standout Hannah Martin remembers most about her team’s trip to Europe last month were the dinners. It was during those moments in Martin’s view that she and her Ravens teammates established relationships that wouldn’t have occurred had they not been plucked from their comfort zone. “If you’re on a high school team you might have a banquet or you might have a couple of team lunches,” Martin said. But that’s it. The Ravens competed in a tournament in Slovenia, and hop scotched across Europe for the rest of their 11-day trip. They had team dinners with opposing teams during the tournament before traveling to Austria and Italy. The team sent all 14 varsity players on the program’s third trip to Europe (they also visited Europe in 2008 and 2012). “It’s honestly kind of eye-opening because a lot of times we like to go to where we’re comfortable,” Martin said. “We like to hang out with our best friends because it’s easy and it’s what we know, but if you spend that much time with people at dinners you’re going to be sitting with everyone and getting to know everyone, so that to me was priceless and really valuable to our team as a bonding experience.” The volleyball tournament was held in Maribor, Slovenia’s second largest city with

The Canyon Crest Academy volleyball team on their trip abroad. a population of about 100,000. Ravens co-head coach Rachel Morris traveled with the team. Co-head coach Ariel Haas, who was heavily involved in organizing the trip, remained in San Diego for the birth of his family’s baby. “Volleyball is a team sport, and especially with young women it’s super important to have a team dynamic,” Morris said.”If you trust each other on the court then you’re going to be more successful when you’re playing with one another.”

The Ravens had gone through tryouts but hadn’t practiced ahead of the tournament. They took their lumps early on in the tournament playing teams who play year-round (European high school players don’t split their time between their clubs and school teams as they do in the United States), but won their tournament finale on the last day. The trip wasn’t a pleasure cruise. The Ravens traveled more than 6,000 miles to be “comfortable being

uncomfortable,” Morris said, noting that the trip reflects the program’s philosophy of fostering emotional growth, maturity and comraderie that can only be achieved by taking their players out of their comfort zones. “We want them to be uncomfortable together and we want them to be comfortable being uncomfortable,” Morris said. “That’s something that we’ve preached every season that I’ve coached at Canyon Crest (Academy). Being in a foreign country and playing a team that you don’t know in a different time zone with a different ball and a different environment is a way to get these girls to be uncomfortable, and if they can succeed in an uncomfortable environment, which they did, when they come home and they are in their own element they should be able to be more comfortable.” There were some awkward moments, as some teenagers away from home for the first time, immersed in a foreign land and had to lean on their wits and each other, confronting language and cultural barriers. “We learned a lot from just being at cafes,” Martin said. “You realize everybody’s just sitting there, enjoying their moment being there, whereas a lot of times in America we’re like ‘OK, grab a cup of coffee from Starbucks to go,’ then we get on our phones, rushing to this place and that. “In Europe we have to be like, just sit at the cafe and talk to the people around you not on your phone.” Martin believes that facing cultural SEE VOLLEYBALL, A22

Local churches launch drive to help homeless veterans Brain Fitness programs return Del Mar Community Connections (DMCC) is once again offering its two popular Brain Fitness programs starting Sept. 13 at the Del Mar Community Building, 225 9th St, Del Mar. For those interested in participating for the first time, an orientation meeting will be held on the “Basic Brain Fitness” program on Thursday Sept. 8 at 2 p.m. Attendance at the orientation meeting will help ensure participation in the programs. For those Brain Fitness alumni wishing to continue training, the program is now available year round. Call DMCC to arrange a start date for the “Refresher Brain HQ,” program. Both take place at the Del Mar Community Building. The programs are available at no charge. Those living in the 92014 zip code get first priority to participate in the programs. The Brain Fitness programs, developed by Posit Science from work at UC San Francisco, are designed to improve thinking, understanding and memory. The scientifically designed exercises are done on a computer in a “Basic Brain Fitness” program for beginners is performed for one hour three times a week. The program is self-paced and adjusts to each individual’s abilities and needs. The “Refresher Brain HQ” program is for alums of the “Basic Brain Fitness” and is a self-defined program that lets the participant select from 27 different exercises based on what functions of the brain the participant wants to improve. The program is offered year round with participation available to the participants for whatever is convenient for them. Both programs take place at the DMCC Computer Centre. More than 80 participants have taken the Brain Fitness courses and nearly all report improved brain performance, from the ability to remember better, to focus better and to process information faster. For more information and to sign up for either program, call DMCC at 858 792-7565 or email dmcc@dmcc.cc.

Helping homeless veterans move into a place of their own is the goal of The Homeless Veterans Initiative, an effort launched by five North County Presbyterian churches in partnership with Interfaith Community Services. The churches are reaching out to the public to donate furnishings and purchase specially designed Move-In Packages that contain bedding, kitchen supplies, cleaning tools,

personal care items and more. “It’s our goal to support permanent housing for our nation’s homeless veterans here in North County” explained the Rev. Dr. Jan Farley, associate pastor of the Village Community Presbyterian Church in Rancho Santa Fe that is leading this effort. Anyone interested in donating can stop by the Village Church patio at

6225 Paseo Delicias, Rancho Santa Fe, on Sunday, Sept. 11 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Some of the ways to help include covering the cost of Move-In Packages (from $60 to $225), underwriting a Move-In Kit ($716) containing supplies to completely outfit a home with four persons or simply making a cash contribution. The church will also accept donations of new mattresses and gently used furniture.

Letters Policy

Topical letters to the editor are encouraged. Submissions should include a full name, address, e-mail address (if available) and a telephone number for verification purposes. We do not publish anonymous letters and there are length limits (about 450 words maximum). E-mailed submissions are preferred to editor@delmartimes.net. Letters may be edited. The letters/columns published are the author’s opinion only and do not reflect the opinion of this newspaper.

OUR READERS WRITE Squeaky Wheels By and large, letters to the editor from Del-Martians published in this paper are about those darn trains, horse races, fair, fairground events and KAABOO. One opinion expressed was that these are anachronistic to the sleepy village by the sea. I think the ones that are out of time or place are these squeaky wheel complainers who think they live on their own planet Del Mar. You are the fortunate .05 percent on this planet and you seem to only want more for you and less for others. Based on the published letters, the average Del Martian is opposed to any Earthling who dares enjoy life near their planet. One writer says about KAABOO, it is time get out of town. I have family flying in from out of state, I have friends training it from LA and others driving in from OC for KAABOO. We would be glad to fund your departure. Just let us know where we can find you on AirBnB. Who again, is being anachronistic? Parker Lyons Solana Beach

each entry point. Perhaps this very small selfish group should pause for a moment and reflect on how lucky they are to live in one of the most desirable locations in the world. And, in case they haven’t heard, that beautiful ocean, golden sands and other attractions are open to the rest of the world probably not fortunate enough to afford to live here. There will always be traffic, especially in the summer. There will always be noise, especially in the summer and KAABOO is here to stay because it’s a huge success. I should know. I’ve never enjoyed a weekend more in my 44 years in Del Mar than last year’s KAABOO. It was first class in every way and compares favorably with music festivals anywhere in the world. Selfish complainers, accept reality, open your minds and your hearts. The inevitable is here to stay. Celebrate what we have 365 days a year and quit bitching! You might even enjoy KAABOO.

Re-think policy on candidate letters A resident just informed me that when he submitted a “Letter to the Editor” that commented on the recent behavior of a candidate who is running for Council, that he would be charged $500 for it to be printed.

Apparently, when a Letter to the Editor is now submitted to your paper, a panel will review it, and if they deem it a political endorsement or opposition, there will be a charge to the letter writer in order for it to be published. With all due respect, I find this outrageous. You are imposing a financial burden on residents who frankly just want to participate in the debate. And you are allowing wealthy individuals to have a forum while preventing those who may be on fixed income or just plain not willing to pony up that much money, from being involved in the Democratic process. I urge you to re-think this policy. I’ve never seen or heard of it anywhere, in any paper, especially a small local free paper whose purpose is to inform and serve the community it covers as well as provide a forum for thought. Council member Lesa Heebner Solana Beach Editor’s Note: This newspaper does not charge for letters to the editor. Our editorial pages are a forum for local discourse and we welcome and provide space for letters that discuss local issues. Due to limited space on our editorial page, it is our policy not to publish endorsements or attacks of political candidates, whether for local, state or national elections. We do not guarantee that letters submitted to the editor will be published and all letters are reviewed to ensure that they meet legal standards.

Scripps Health and MD Anderson Cancer Center form partnership

Scripps Health and The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have reached a partnership agreement to create Scripps MD Anderson Cancer Center, a comprehensive and clinically integrated cancer care program in San Diego that will provide adult cancer patients greater access to the most advanced oncology care available throughout Southern California. Through this partnership, Scripps MD Anderson is part of MD Anderson Cancer Network, a global collaborative network of hospitals and health care systems dedicated to MD Anderson’s mission to end cancer globally. The collaboration allows Scripps to combine its expertise with MD Anderson’s knowledge and capabilities for Southern California, covering eight counties from Santa Barbara to the U.S.-Mexico border. Scripps MD Anderson will be overseen by physician and administrative leaders from both organizations. It will offer patients access to MD Anderson’s world-renowned treatment protocols, standards of care, extensive clinical trials and translational research. Patients also will have access to comprehensive cancer care, including medical oncology, radiation oncology, surgical oncology, pathology, laboratory and diagnostic imaging, as well as other clinical and support services. The two organizations also will join forces in the recruitment of all future program physicians and other health care professionals, many of whom will have access to training and education at MD Anderson Cancer Center. Scripps physicians also will have the opportunity to earn faculty appointments at MD Anderson Cancer Center. A national search will start soon to hire a medical director to lead the new program.

Seaweeders Garden Club Tip: Time to look at your trees Five years of drought have stressed-out our Solana Beach trees. Signs of stress include: • Drooping, small, pale yellow or brown leaves. • Lots of dropped leaves or pine

needles. Don’t wait until it’s too late! Set a hose under its canopy and let it trickle for a few hours. (Set a timer so you don’t forget.) Repeat monthly until it rains again. • Leave fallen leaves and pine

needles around the trunk as mulch to maintain the moisture. Even if they don’t look stressed, they probably are, and will benefit from this deep, gentle soaking. For more green-thumb tips, join

the Solana Beach Garden Club at 6:30 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month at the Center for Healthy LIfestyle (yellow cottage) behind the Boys & Girls Club, 533 Lomas Santa Fe Drive.

Education Matters BY MARSHA SUTTON

Smarter and more balanced

o, Smarter Balanced is not a butter substitute. It’s a ridiculous name for tests that assess student achievement on the new Common Core State Standards. Not sure about balanced, but one can argue that kids may be getting smarter. The Smarter Balanced test results from last spring were just released. These tests are part of the new California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress system (CAASPP). Students in third through eighth grades, and in 11th grade, were first assessed in the spring of 2015 to establish a baseline for Common Core achievement. This past spring was the second time students took the tests. The Smarter Balanced tests, all taken online, are designed to measure student understanding of the new standards, and are more rigorous than previous state assessments. The tests are adaptive, meaning follow-up questions depend on whether the student answers the first question correctly. If so, the following question is harder; if not, it is easier. The new tests require more reading, critical thinking, problem-solving techniques and written answers than earlier assessments. Although the achievement gap remains stubbornly stuck in place, overall growth

from 2015 to 2016 for most school districts throughout the state was reported. The state has four categories for the assessments: standards not met, nearly met, met or exceeded. The scores for local districts are in the chart at right, above. To compare with the San Dieguito Union High School District, Poway and Carlsbad are included in the chart, although it’s not entirely a fair comparison for two reasons. First, Carlsbad and Poway are both unified districts, meaning they serve students in grades kindergarten through 12th. San Dieguito only serves students in seventh through 12th grades. Second, no comparison between districts can be judged fairly without taking into account the percentage of low-income, special education and English learner students. As one of the wealthier districts in the county, with less diversity than many others, San Dieguito has an advantage in student achievement over other districts. Nevertheless, because these are nearby districts, I’ve included them in the table. For high schools, the goal is to ensure that all 11th-graders are on track to be college ready.

According to EdSource, “Most community colleges and the California State University system use the ‘standard exceeded’ level to determine that students are ready for college and do not need to take remedial courses. “The ‘standard met’ level indicates that students are conditionally ready for college, but must take an approved yearlong math and/or English course their senior year and pass with a C or better.” Statewide, 59 percent of 11th-graders met or exceeded targets in English, while only 33 percent did so in math. San Dieguito, as well as Carlsbad and Poway, well surpassed state averages in both subjects. SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of instructional services, Mike Grove, said math scores tend to be lower because skills “are being assessed in a very different way than before.” He said the shift in instruction is more significant than for English courses. On the other hand, Grove also said there was concern about the English portions of

the tests because so much more reading and literacy comprehension was required. He said overall he was pleased with the results, seeing incremental growth in most areas. Grove said he and his staff are dissecting the results school by school and grade level by grade level, for seventh, eighth, and 11th grades. For 11th grade, SDUHSD will be comparing San Dieguito high schools to other San Diego County high schools with similar demographics, like Scripps Ranch High, La Jolla High, and Coronado, as well as other high schools state-wide. The California Dept. of Education’s website – caaspp.cde.ca.gov – has results for all Calif. schools and school districts. Look for presentations on the Smarter Balanced test results from all local school districts at school board meetings in the coming weeks.

Torrey Pines High football program will team up with Rancho Bernardo High football and the San Diego chapter of Team Red, White and Blue on a Ruck for Veterans Saturday, Sept. 24. The public is invited to participate in the six-mile ruck along SR-56. Participants are asked to bring a backpack full of items to be donated to Veterans Village of San Diego. The event will begin at 8 a.m. at the SR-56 bike path entrance on Carmel Creek Road and Tang Road and end at Westview High School. There will be a social gathering with food for purchase and music at Westview. Rancho Bernardo’s football program organized the annual event for Team Red,White and Blue five years ago to bring awareness about the organization and its cause to connect veterans with their local communities. This year they invited football programs at Torrey Pines, Westview, Ramona and Mt. Carmel to participate in the event. Items needed for the veterans include: hygiene kits (shampoo, conditioner, body wash/soap, wash cloth, toothbrush, toothpaste, comb), blankets, socks, sweaters and beanies. Food donations are not accepted but gift cards and cash are always welcome. To donate to the fundraiser, visit crowdraise.com/trwb-ruck.

FROM WATER, A7 cost-efficient and could be implemented easily.” Mihika and her team co-founded VivaFlow as part of MIT Launch Summer, a high school entrepreneurship program at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Mihika applied to the program after learning about it from a friend. Students learned about the process of starting a company during the four-week program. In addition to hearing lectures, participants started their own companies. VivaFlow worked with MIT professors, PhD students, chemical engineers and companies such as FEDCO and UNEEC. FEDCO helped the students create their first prototype, which Mihika said is able to process lower concentration sea water. “The program ended at the beginning of July, but the company is still going and every company is still trying to make progress,” she said.

VivaFlow — which now consists of Mihika, Sanya Verma of Michigan and Kai Lin of California — launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds to get the company up and running, from research and development, to manufacturing and distribution to communities in Haiti. VivaFlow has also received letters of intent from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation to help with distribution, Mihika said. “Short term, we hope to distribute our product to coastal communities in Haiti because they lack fresh drinking water but also have easy access to sea water, which is a perfect place to start,” she said. “Eventually, we hope to spread to coastal rural communities all over the world.” As of Aug. 26, the company has raised $705 of its $10,000 goal.

FROM HORSES, A2 Sullivan, an activist who frequently pickets outside the racetrack. “I appreciate that your intentions are good but very frankly, it’s not working. And you need to do something different and you need to do something more.” Cliff Goodrich, former president of the Santa Anita racetrack, said fatal injuries may be impossible to eliminate from racing, but that officials are doing what they can. “Goodness knows in society there are problems that are unsolvable; this may be one of them,” Goodrich said. “To insinuate that (the board) is not trying (to solve the problem) is out of bounds. We will continue to try, we will never be perfect but goodness knows it’s not for a lack of trying.” – Edward Sifuentes is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune.

FROM TRAFFIC, A4 intersection at the same time. The light for drivers exiting the Village has also been changed from a straight and left arrow to a single left and a single straight, which aims to avoid the queuing in the middle of the intersection. Mohondro said the city will continue to monitor how this solution works and if it still does not work they will explore next steps. Carmel Valley Planning Board Chair Frisco White said the board would like to hear a report on how it has been working in September, after school has been in session for a few weeks. White also encouraged the city to expedite the process to connect Village Loop Road all the way through to

Carmel Valley Road. Currently the road dead ends at a privately owned parcel that has no current plans for development. In July the board discussed a proposal in which the city negotiates with the property owner for fair market value, using existing Facilities Benefit Assessment funding to purchase the easement. When the owners decide to develop the property, they would return the funds to the city. As White has noted, the community is being hindered by the property owners’ lack of desire to complete their development, delaying an integral circulation element for Pacific Highlands Ranch. The connection would be 700 feet of road, four lanes with a raised landscape median.

FROM SB SCHOOL BOARD, A5 In addition, the school district has a bond on the ballot. The $105 million bond measure would help cover the costs of school improvements across the district. If voters pass the bond, the district plans to start with the reconstruction of Skyline Elementary School. “I want voters to realize that we do have great schools here,” Leib said. “You can have good public schools that really prepare people for junior high, high school and beyond. But we do need facilities for that, and we need to continue to upgrade those facilities.” If the bond is passed, Leib said he wants to make sure the funds are well spent. He also wants to continue to have “the best teachers” and continue the district’s successful Discovery Labs, which focus on science, technology, research, engineering, arts and math, or STREAM, and supplemental physical education. “It’s an important time for the school district, so I just think it’s very important that we are stable and continue to do the kinds of things that we’ve been doing,” he said. In his next term, Leib said he also wants to give additional attention to Eden Gardens, a neighborhood within the city of Solana Beach. Over the next four years, he said he would like to develop a program that would give all economically-disadvantaged children who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch an opportunity to attend preschool at the district’s Child Development Center. “We’ve started to get those slots this year. I’d like to expand it,” said Leib, noting that the district is now offering scholarships. “I’ve had a real good chance of seeing what programs work and don’t work,” he added. “The key for our area, for those that are economically-disadvantaged, is to enter into the school district as close as possible to everyone else. We need to make it a level playing field, and to do that, you need free preschool.” In addition to serving on the school board, Leib is the co-founder, executive

FROM LEADERS, A10 •Dan Spinazzola, Diversified Restaurant Systems, Inc. •Bob Taylor & Kurt Listug, Taylor Guitars After graduating from the University of Utah in Salt Lake City, Daniel R. Spinazzola proved to be a successful entrepreneur. Spinazzola worked as an executive for Jack in the Box and then created and founded his own company,

vice president and general counsel of Liquid Environmental Solutions, a nationwide company that handles non-hazardous liquid waste. He also serves as a trustee of North Coast Repertory theatre in Solana Beach and as a board member of Temple Solel in Cardiff. He previously served six years on the Board of Governors of the California Community College System, including two years as president. He was also one of the founding board members of Green Dot Public Schools, a nonprofit organization that operates charter schools in Greater Los Angeles. Union, a Carmel Valley resident for nearly 20 years, was first elected to the board in 2012. During her first term, Union invested time in learning about public school policy and practice. She earned a master’s in governance from the California School Board Association, which entailed 40 hours with education leaders. She also attended many conferences, served on the CSBA Delegate Assembly for San Diego County, and traveled to Sacramento to advocate for students locally and statewide. “I have cherished the opportunity to positively impact the Solana Beach School District,” Union said. “As a district, we have accomplished a great deal in the last four years, and I am very excited to have the opportunity to continue for another term.” Union said she is most proud that the district’s STREAM initiatives have “literally exploded,” with support from the Solana Beach Schools Foundation. The district now has a full-time certificated STREAM teacher at every school site. “These teachers provide interactive lessons that are based on real world problem solving and are highly engaging,” she said. “This year, I have seen students more excited about learning than ever before.” Union said she is also proud of the district’s improved Child Nutrition Program, outreach to parents, and support of students through partnerships with organizations such as Casa de Amistad, The Boys and Girls Club, and PIQE (Parent Institute for

Quality Education). “Lastly, I am proud of the emphasis on character and leadership education, currently promoted in our schools,” she said. The board’s goals for the future will be determined by the passage or denial of the bond, Union said. “For the first time in district history, a bond will be on the November ballot,” she said. “If the bond passes, the district has a detailed and complete facilities master plan covering all seven schools that will be implemented. If denied, hard decisions will need to be made on partial improvements.” Other goals, she said, are tied closely to the district’s strategic plan and involve helping every student meet or exceed grade-level standards in order to be prepared for success after elementary school. In her next term, Union said she is “passionate about building strong families by encouraging parent education opportunities, focusing on whole child wellness, and supporting school connection events.” She also wants to support environmental stewardship in the district. “The district already does a great job incorporating teaching in each of our school gardens,” she said. “I would like to explore more ways we can reduce, reuse, and recycle at our schools.” In addition to serving on the school board, Union has two part-time jobs, as a substitute teacher and special education aide in other North County districts, and as a program manager for Access Destination Services, which creates and delivers large group experiences for companies that come to San Diego. With three daughters, 10 years apart in age, Union has been a Girl Scout leader for the past 19 years. She has also been active in PTA leadership. “I have been behind the scenes for four years and remain consistently impressed by the professionalism, passion and desire for excellence displayed by our whole school community,” Union said. “It is an honor to serve this extraordinary district.”

We have a lot of trust, rather than like saying ‘Oh it’s OK,” we’re going to hold each other accountable and

FROM SB COUNCIL, A5 to have the continuity and the vision in order to keep these projects moving.” A Solana Beach resident for 25 years, Zito was first elected to the council in 2012. During his first term on council, Zito said he is proud to have been part of a variety of projects, including renovating Coast Highway 101, as well as reconstructing the Del Mar Shores beach access stairway and repairing other access stairways. “That’s really great because we are a beach community,” said Zito, who has worked at Hewlett-Packard, now known as HP Inc., for more than 20 years. “Access to the beach is a key element.”

work hard together and not beat around the bush.” The Ravens are preparing to compete with some of the most formidable programs in the state. They concluded last season ranked 20th in the state by MaxPreps. There will be a time to confront those challenges. But Haas said this trip was more about the human experience than the volleyball experience. “Life is about creating a story, and going through various experiences and being able to use volleyball as a medium to experience different cultures and other ways of doing things is a great opportunity,” Haas said. “It’s really just a learning experience and creating memories that they’ll take with them for the rest of their lives, and (building) relationships with their own teammates that they wouldn’t have the opportunity to do otherwise.”

Other accomplishments include the addition of bicycle and pedestrian improvements, including the city’s new east-side entry monument; the construction of La Colonia Park Veterans Honor Courtyard; the preservation of the Gateway property, now known as Harbaugh Seaside Trails; and the approval of the sand replenishment project. “The project is approved,” he said. “We’re now at the stage of finishing the design and pursuing funding. Hopefully, there will be a plan in place to be able to protect our beaches for the next 50 years.” If re-elected to the council, Zito wants to continue to protect the city’s character and quality of life.

About a dozen patients in their 50s to 70s attended last week’s performance and smiled and applauded as the dancers performed routines that included hiphop and dance hall steps, balletic contemporary and rhythm tap. It took just a bit of coaxing to get the patients out of their chairs to try a few steps of their own. One woman in her 70s shouted out “don’t go too fast, I’m old!” And a hesitant man across the room asked for a handout so he could study a diagram of the steps before getting started. But most of the patients eagerly joined in with touch steps, half-spins and choreographed arm movements.

There are a number of projects headed to the council, including plans for the development of Solana Beach Transit Center and the redevelopment of the Solana Highlands apartment complex. Other projects are proposed along Highway 101, and on the east side of the city, a potential senior living facility. “It’s very important that these projects fit within the character of our community,” Zito said.

The Encinitas senior said dance is her preferred form of exercise and she was eager to learn some hip-hop steps. “I take a lot of classes and this one was really fun,” she said. Among those who came to watch was Encinitas Mayor Kristin Gaspar, a former competitive ballroom dancer and longtime volunteer for local senior fitness programs. She praised the teens for making the cross-generational connection with the seniors and hopes Dance2Heal will grow deep roots in the community. The next Dance2Heal event has not been announced, but Sarah said she’s in talks to bring it to a larger audience at the La Costa Glen retirement community.

FROM ROAD, A1 the cyclists that frequent the thoroughfare. Signals will be installed at the intersections of San Dieguito Road, at the Del Mar Horsepark entrance and at Via de la Valle, where the road will now line up with the existing De la Valle Place. An undercrossing will connect the Coast to Crest Trail where it runs through the valley. The road will be 60 feet from curb to curb, with a total width of 104 feet, which includes a 22-foot parkway, bike lanes and sidewalks. The existing El Camino Real will stay as an access road to the existing businesses and the old bridge will be demolished. For the new bridge, the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority is seeking grant funding to build a cantilever on the west side to allow for safe horse crossings. The road widening has been in the works for a long time, with the draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR) first presented back in 2006. With input from the public and the planning board, a task force was put together to look at alternatives such as a modified, narrowed eastern alternative and the additional alternative of roundabouts. The completed EIR reviewed the western, eastern and central alignments, as well as the roundabout option. “The eastern alternative is the only one that improves level of service at Via de la Valle,” Straughn said. The main significant impacts discussed in the EIR were land use, traffic and biological impacts, Straughn said. The widening will require a permit from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and funding from Caltrans. Both the funding and approval are contingent on the fact that the selected alignment is the least environmentally damaging alternative. The western alternative impacted the

Jayna Straughn, associate civil engineer developments along the road the most, affecting businesses such as Mary’s Tack & Feed. The eastern alignment had the largest impacts to the polo field and developments to the east. Straughn said the city is able to take as much land as needed from the city-owned polo field and the new polo field lease with Surf Cup Sports ensures that the tenant will support any alternative for the widening. The city will also need to work with the developers of Hacienda Del Mar, who are planning a senior living facility on the 23.88-acre slice of property adjacent to the polo fields. Straughn said a two-lane roundabout would not achieve an improvement in traffic circulation — only one with a wider footprint of three lanes would improve the level of service. The city would not be able to take the land required to make a large enough roundabout without impacting Mary’s Tack & Feed or the surrounding wetlands habitat, making the option not feasible. The planning board had preferred roundabouts as an alternative but has also long lobbied for the road to be as narrow as possible through the sensitive river valley habitat — due to the larger footprint that would be required, the roundabouts would be the most damaging to the environment. Via de la Valle will be widened to four lanes from San Adres to El Camino Real, a widening that the Carmel Valley planning board opposed in 2013 due to its impact on the Del Mar Horsepark and adjacent businesses. Via de la Valle will continue as a two-lane road into Rancho Santa Fe.

feet of commercial office space and 53 parking spaces in structured parking, replacing the existing 31 public spaces and adding 22 residential and commercial spaces. Plans were put on hold, however, as the project has been subject to lawsuits by the Seascape Surf Estate Management Corporation, on behalf of nearby condominium owners. Some nearby residents opposed the project for a variety of reasons, including traffic, safety, parking and noise concerns. Required under the Tax Exempt Fiscal Responsibility Act, or TEFRA, the council on Aug. 24 held a public hearing in connection with the proposed issuance of revenue bonds by the CMFA, a joint exercise of powers authority and public entity of California, in an amount not to exceed $5.5 million. “Your duty as a City Council and a member of that agency is to take these actions to approve the issuance of the bonds,” City Manager Greg Wade said prior to the vote. “In taking this action, the city has no responsibility whatsoever financially, no liability associated with the issuance of these bonds. It’s strictly on the side of the developer. But this action is required under TEFRA and as part of the CMFA.” As the borrower, Wade noted that the developer, Hitzke Development Corporation, would have to secure the financing. Funds would help cover construction costs.

students. In 2015-16, the enrollment was at 387 students. Ashley Falls is projected to start the year with 455 students and the population is expected to grow to 472 students by February 2017 as more single family homes become occupied in Pacific Highlands Ranch. Sycamore Ridge will also experience growth with new students from Pacific Highlands Ranch — its enrollment is projected to raise from 490 in 2015-16 to 546 this school year. Torrey Hills Elementary School will continue its uptick in enrollment with the two nearby apartment complexes of Torrey Gardens and Ocean Air Apartments — the school is expected to reach 661 students as the units will be fully occupied by mid-October. Sage Canyon will remain the largest school in the district for the next few years with 722 students projected this year, while Del Mar Hills remains the smallest with 319 students. On average, district class sizes are smaller in kindergarten through third grade at a ratio of 20.6 to one. In grades fourth through sixth, the ratio is 25.6 to one. There will only be three combination classes in the district this year.

Teen spreads message of acceptance through children’s book BY KRISTINA HOUCK ith a Tuesday through Friday schedule at Classical Academy High School in Escondido, young Del Mar author Carly Marie Truscott spent nearly every Monday of her junior year reading to schoolchildren across San Diego County. Now entering her senior year, the 17-year-old plans to continue to spread a message of acceptance through her unconventional children’s book, “Fox, Bird, and Squirrel Were Not Friends.” “I was inspired to write the book after hearing about human rights issues,” said Carly, who specifically pointed to the struggle of transgender children. “I’ve just seen a lot of judgment throughout middle school and high school, and I feel like our culture is not accepting of differences, so I wanted to write this book to get the message of acceptance to kids early.” Originally, Carly’s story directly addressed gender roles and the struggle of transgender children. With the intention of reading to young children, she wrote several versions and eventually simplified her message. Written and illustrated by Carly, the children’s book is about forest animals that do not get along. But by the end of the story, the creatures realize that each of their traits are essential to the survival of everyone in the forest. “I felt like the metaphor of the animals in the forest was easier for kids to understand,” Carly said. “It applies to more children. They can relate to the book

through fourth grade at schools throughout the county, including schools in Escondido Union School District, Oceanside Unified School District and Poway Unified School District. She has since received dozens of thank-you letters from the children and their teachers. “The kids are so cute and sweet,” said Carly, whose next reading is at 3 p.m. Sept 27 during Coronado Library’s Story Hour. “Different schools take the message differently. Some children relate to it because they’ve been bullied.” Although Carly never intended to sell the book, she decided to self-publish the story and make it available because so many of the schools she visited wanted copies for their classrooms. To order a copy, send a message Carly on Facebook at www.facebook.com/foxbirdandsquirrel or Instagram at www.instagram.com/foxbirdandsquirrel. Carly is donating all proceeds to the Helen Woodward Animal Center, which will be honoring her on its Hope Telethon on Nov. 20. She will present the Rancho Santa Fe-based nonprofit organization with a $1,000 check during the event. “I’ve always loved the center,” said Carly, who has a dog named Diesel, and once participated in the center’s Summer Critter Camp. “But with this process, I’ve been able to really see what they do there. It’s amazing, so I’m really proud that I’ve been able to help them.”

For Marshall Tucker Band frontman Doug Gray, a passion for music 45 years and counting BY ROB LEDONNE t’s an early Wednesday afternoon in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina and Doug Gray, frontman for the legendary Marshall Tucker Band, just took a walk on the beach from his nearby home. “This is what keeps me in shape,” Gray explains. “Going to the beach just makes you relax, and it helps when dealing with some of the stresses in life.” Come the night of Sept. 6, Gray will be a short walk from Solana Beach when the Marshall Tucker Band takes the stage at the Belly Up. It’s a show that’s part of their 45th anniversary tour dubbed Long Hard Ride, though don’t let its strenuous name fool you. For Gray, he’s relished his long career playing music. “It honestly doesn’t even feel like 45 years,” he’s quick to point out. “This tour feels the same as the one 40 years ago and every tour since then.” Known for classic songs such as "Heard It In A Love Song," "Can't You See” and "Fire On The Mountain,” the band’s founding 45 years ago materialized because of equal parts luck and talent. Fresh off of returning from Vietnam, the last thing the various members of the Marshall Tucker Band wanted to do was work a day job. “We looked at each other and decided to work during the day, and rehearse at night,” Gray said. Persistence to break into the music industry paid off when they were asked on a whim to open up for the Allman Brothers. The only problem is, Gray and his group of bandmates didn’t have a name. “We were more concerned about the music than our name at the time. They said, ‘In an hour, think of what we could call you.’ Someone happened to be twirling around a keychain with the name Marshall Tucker, and that became our first big break.” The band’s trip to San Diego has been one Gray is looking forward to, noting the band’s fanbase in Southern California, who are loyal year after year. “I have to tell you, the more intimate the venue the better I like it,” says Gray, who’s played his fair share of theaters, clubs, and arenas. “In the smaller ones, you actually get to see the people you’re performing for. At a place like the Belly Up you get to shake everyone’s hand.” When it comes to the band’s 45th year of

The Marshall Tucker Band’s 45th anniversary tour is dubbed Long Hard Ride. touring, Gray points to the fact that they are a jam band – who regularly invites guest artists – as the reason why the allure of being on stage continues to be fresh. “When somebody comes in to play with us it always makes it interesting,” says Gray. “We’ve been known as a jam band, so we play the songs we play and then always incorporate the jam part of it.” For Gray, it’s the interaction from the audience that makes the shows worthwhile. “It’s all about the people you’re playing for,” he notes. “If they scream out a song, if we remember how to play it we’ll play it. We haven’t done what I call a ‘structured’ set in at least 18 years.” That’s part of the reason why 45 years in, with their tour and latest album Live in the UK 1976, Gray and his bandmates show no sign of slowing down. Throughout the band’s ups and downs since their early days, he’s enjoyed being a part of show business. Says Gray of his career and the band’s vast legacy, “It’s so easy to get out and sing a song and be an entertainer. As long as you’re pleasing people, you’ve got it made.” The Marshall Tucker Band will play at the Belly Up Sept. 6 at 8 p.m. (Doors open at 7 p.m.) For more information, visit www.bellyup.com or www.marshalltucker.com.

Torrey Pines Animal Hospital expands in Piazza Carmel BY KAREN BILLING For the past four years, Torrey Pines Animal Hospital has become known in the area for its knowledgeable, kind, trustworthy and caring staff. The hospital, owned by Dr. Andrew McClellan and Dr. Brad Steele, operates under the motto that “your pets are our passion” and offers routine vet care, boarding, grooming, surgery, internal medicine and emergency coverage. The hospital in Piazza Carmel recently finished a complete renovation that nearly doubled the space of its clinic. The expanded hospital features an extra exam room, more boarding facilities and increased treatment and surgery space to accommodate the increased workload. “We’ve been really busy, which is a great problem to have,” said McClellan. They now have six dog runs in the back rather than one —“Before it was one Great Dane and we were full” Steele says; and separate “cat condos” in the front of the

hospital, where felines can relax and play away from the action in the back of the hospital. The hospital now has a new surgery suite, extra treatment tables, a separate room for radiology and ultrasounds, and the new grooming tub has a Jacuzzi-like floor for more efficient bathing, complete with a ramp that allows bigger dogs to climb on without techs having to strain their backs. While the state-of-the-art space is great, where Torrey Pines stands out is in the wealth of experience and quality of care provided by its owners — one client praised McClellan and Steele for saving her dog’s life: “They are the most amazing vets, they are such a Godsend.” McClellan, a Torrey Pines High graduate, is a familiar vet in Carmel Valley. He worked at Pacific Petcare in Carmel Country Plaza for 11 years before pursuing his own practice with Steele. Steele has been a practicing veterinarian for 18 years, starting

He participated in veterinary research projects in Southern Africa, and started his own state-of-the-art animal hospital in Vista in 2002, which he sold in 2005. Wildlife and exotic animal medicine remain an area of interest for Steele and he is known to specialize in birds, reptiles, exotics and “pocket pets,” such as

hamsters and Guinea pigs. McClellan and Steele serve as the main vets at the practice but they also receive help from Dr. Mumtaz Vora and Dr. Briah Tannler. Torrey Pines Animal Hospital is open seven days a week and is unique in that it offers long appointment slots. “We have 30-minute

appointment times which is significantly longer than the industry standard,” McClellan said. “We want to have plenty of time with the pets and the patients, to make sure we address everything.” “We want to be the family vet, rather than get patients in and out in an assembly line. We want to get to know people and their pets and establish a relationship,” said Steele, noting clients like seeing the familiar faces of their caring staff, including Sushi the hospital cat who is often perched at the front counter. At Torrey Pines, the quality of life of the animal is what’s important and its staff will always do what’s in the best interest of the owner and the animal. Torrey Pines Animal Hospital is located at 3890 Valley Centre Dr. #101 in Piazza Carmel, behind ACE Hardware.

Since the goals of the health sciences are to prevent disease, maintain health and treat illnesses, it follows that understanding of evolutionary mechanisms and processes in the context of human origins is of vital importance. New applications of evolutionary biology to medicine and health are developing fast, with special opportunities for contributions from anthropogeny. The event is free and will be held at the Powerhouse Community Center on Sept. 12 at 6 p.m. Online reservations are required and may be made at www.delmarfoundation.org/events. Seating is limited.

Hellenic traditions celebrated at Cardiff Greek Festival Sept. 10-11 Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church welcomes the San Diego community to experience Hellenic cuisine, entertainment and hospitality during the 38th annual Cardiff Greek Festival on Sept. 10 and 11. Under its iconic gold dome, the church grounds will once again be transformed with the sights, sounds, and aromas of Greece. “We look forward to sharing Greece’s rich history and tradition with the community every year through the festival’s food, music, and dance,” said Rev. Father Michael Sitaras, Pastor of Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church. “The spirit of Greece is alive in us. Let us share it with you!” For a $3 admission (children under 12, active military, police and firefighters with ID are free), festival attendees will be transported into a quaint Greek village, serenaded by a variety of live entertainers on four stages throughout the weekend, including renowned Southern California Greek band The Olympians. The parish’s youngest members – ages 5 through high school – will perform folk dances in traditional costumes. You’ll have the opportunity to put your best fancy footwork forward and shout “Opa!” with guided dance instruction. Delicacies will be available, such as souvlaki (shish-kabobs), succulent lamb shanks, roasted Greek-style chicken, pastitsio (baked layers of macaroni, seasoned meat, cheese and béchamel sauce), loukaniko (sausage), dolmathes (stuffed grape leaves),

Vegetarian fare includes tiropitas (cheese triangles in filo), spanakopita (spinach pie), mezethes (appetizers), and Greek salad. The Kafenio (café) boasts mouth-watering desserts and coffee. Father Sitaras will host tours of the church and enlighten guests about the mosaics, iconography and Byzantine architecture. “What many visitors don’t realize is that our gold dome is just as magnificent on the inside as it is on the outside. I love that

moment of stunned wonderment when guests first see the intricacy of the Byzantine artwork.” An open marketplace will typify a traditional bazaar featuring Greek imports, pottery, fine jewelry, artwork, a Greek deli, cooking demonstrations, and an array of other treasures. The Olympics-themed Kids Fun Zone with games, crafts, and miniature golf will ensure children enjoy their time as much as the adults. A chance to win a 2016 Mercedes-Benz CLA or $25,000 will keep the festival’s excitement going until the very

end. To commemorate those who lost their lives on Sept. 11, 2001, a ceremony is planned with the Marine Corps Color Guard from Camp Pendleton and boy scouts presenting the colors on Sunday at 11:30 a.m. The Cardiff Greek Festival will be celebrated Saturday, Sept. 10 from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday, Sept. 11 from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. on the grounds of Saints Constantine and Helen, 3459 Manchester Avenue, a half mile east of I-5 at the Manchester exit in Cardiff-by-the-Sea.

Spring Maintenance Tips to Get Your Vehicle Up to 100% ahead of El Niño Every year it’s a good idea to incorporate maintenance on your vehicle as part of your general spring cleaning procedure. Potholes, frost heaves, and cold temperatures can all put your brakes, suspension, tires, and battery to the test. You should always make a point to analyze your vehicle at least once

a year to make sure that it’s running in top condition. Doing so can help you avoid a serious issue or being involved in a San Diego car accident. Use the following tips to stay on top of your vehicle’s maintenance this spring. No one wants to be caught in the heavy El Niño rains with an improperly maintained vehicle! Tire Pressure Make sure all your tires have been properly inflated and balanced. This little step goes a long way not just towards minimizing the chances of a flat tire, but it can also improve your gas mileage, too. Brakes Anytime the weather dips, it’s a good idea to look at your brake fluid, parking brake, hoses, and lines. Brake pad changes and a total inspection of the brake system can

go a long way towards helping you avoid accidents and serious issues this spring. In heavy rains, you rely on breaks in great shape to help you come to a stop quickly, even on slick surfaces, so don’t skip over this step. Plugs, Wires and Batteries These components of your vehicle have to work extra hard when it’s cold outside. Make sure you replace old or weak wires, plugs and batteries. Anything over three years old should be replaced completely. Wheel Alignment and Suspension Determine any leaks or wear on your shocks and struts before heading out on the road this spring and summer. Fluid Levels Don’t ignore your engine oil, brake ﬂuid, transmission ﬂuid, anti-freeze or windshield

washer fluid. The brake fluid flush can also be beneficial. Engine Filter When you’re getting your oil change, ask that the engineer filter be looked at carefully to determine whether it needs to be replaced. Hoses and Belts If your hoses are cracked, worn, soft, blistered or brittle, you should replace them. Anything over five years should be replaced even if it looks like it’s in relatively good condition. And finally, make sure you turn on those headlights in heavy rain! For additional tips, advice or legal help, contact us at 858-551-2090 or visit our website at https://seriousaccidents.com/.

PET OF THE WEEK

REGAL, a 7-year-old Ameri-

can Staffordshire Terrier, is looking for a new best friend. This sweet older boy was found by a Field Services Ofﬁcer on March 4 in poor condition. His teeth were worn down to the nub, he had red patches of missing fur on his limbs and abdomen, and after further evaluation, his medical team discovered that his body was riddled with BB pellets. Regal loves to spend his days lounging in plush beds with those he loves. His ideal home will be with older, respectful children or adults only, and because he’s such a ladies man, if there are other dogs in the home he would like them to be female. Regal is available for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society’s Oceanside Campus located at 2905 San Luis Rey Road. To learn more about making him part of your family, please call (760) 757-4357.

Lemon Curd with Fresh Blueberries ■ Ingredients: • 5 large egg yolks • 3/4 cup white cane sugar

No Yolking Around

hailed as nature’s superfood. Yolks contain a mother lode of nutrients, one of the few foods with a natural store of Vitamin D for bone health, Vitamin K2 (which actually wards off arterial plaque build-up), the richest supply found in deep yellow or orange yolks, choline to keep fatty liver disease and age-related cognitive decline at bay, and biotin to boost hair, skin and nail health. There’s more. Those golden orbs are packed with protein and vitamin A for eye health, B’s for nerve function, antioxidant E, along with blood boosting iron, zinc, copper, magnesium, body-balancing potassium, selenium, calcium, folate for fetal development, and essential fatty acids (Omega-3s and 6s) to ratchet up immune responses, ease creaky joints with their anti-inflammatory properties, and, in fact — help break down cholesterol. Egg on Your Face: A rich store of vitamin A to soothe and heal skin and keep acne at bay, egg yolks are a naturally exhilarating skin mask. Also rife with proteins and fats, the yolk makes a nourishing treatment for stressed and over processed hair for a shiny, healthy mane. Don’t Put all Your Egg Yolks in One Basket: Here are some classic and creative

hile standing in line at the supermarket, I couldn’t help but notice the shopper ahead of me gingerly placing 10 cartons of eggs on the check-out conveyor belt. The food snoop that I am, I asked him jokingly what he does with all those eggs? He said he buys several dozen because he makes egg white omelets and tosses the yolks for a low cholesterol protein meal. Yikes! That’s a waste of 120 golden nutrient powerhouses that can be incorporated into numerous luscious dishes from sauces and salads to pastas and desserts, along with spa-inspired treatments for the skin and hair. Here’s a primer on the egg yolk to help you get the most out of this wrongly maligned precious food. Go for the Gold: A decade ago, egg yolks were shunned as a source of cholesterol, which would increase plaque in the cardiovascular system, and possibly lead to heart attacks. That mentality gave rise to the popularity of egg white omelets, and the discarding of egg yolks. While moderation is still the guiding dietary principle, (one egg a day recommended for those with elevated cholesterol or heart disease), the yolk has been redeemed in nutritional circles, no longer considered a threat to blood cholesterol levels (particularly compared to trans fatty monsters), and, in fact,

Add to soups or drizzle with olive oil, garlic and wild mushrooms or heirloom tomatoes and fresh basil. • Whip up eggnog, smoothies and shakes for a creamy, rich texture and protein boost. (If you are leery about raw eggs, use pasteurized or coddled ones). • For just desserts, bake golden pound or sponge cakes, rich butter cream frostings, pie and strudel doughs, snickerdoodle and shortbread cookies, or concoct ice creams, silky mousses, egg custards, crème brulées or

Place bowl over the saucepan without touching the water, and continue to whisk for 10-12 minutes until the mixture is firm. Remove from heat and blend in butter, a chunk at a time until melted. If you prefer a super silky texture, strain the curd through a fine sieve to remove the zest. Chill for several hours. Blend in berries and scoop into Champagne flutes.
