Del Mar to protect against voter fraud BY KRISTINA HOUCK After learning about an email encouraging short-term vacation rental owners to register as Del Mar residents, the City Council on Sept. 19 asserted the city would take the necessary steps to protect against voter registration fraud and ensure a fair election. “It is of the utmost importance that we do everything we can to make sure the election is fair,” said Councilman Dwight Worden. The upcoming election could help shape the council that makes a decision on the controversial issue of short-term rentals — an ongoing debate in Del Mar. Short-term rentals are not specifically permitted or prohibited in the city. Still, the practice has been going on for decades in Del Mar. With the recent proliferation of short-term rentals, however, the council is currently contemplating

whether to ban or regulate them or, perhaps, let voters decide. Supporters argue that short-term rentals benefit the community, serving tourists in the city, while opponents contend that rentals have changed the character of the community. There have also been complaints about noise, parking and trash. There are three council seats on the ballot, something the Aug. 31 email blatantly points out. Mayor Sherryl Parks and Councilmen Al Corti and Don Mosier’s seats are up for grabs in November. Although Parks and Corti are running for re-election, Mosier is not seeking another term. A group called Share Del Mar Alliance, which supports short-term rentals, sent the email to an undisclosed number of people, asking rental owners to change their voter registration to Del Mar.

Public hearing held on SOUL charter school BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School (SDUHSD) board heard strong support for the new School of Universal Learning (SOUL) charter school at its Sept. 15 meeting. The hearing was the next step in the process for the district’s first-ever charter school petition — the board will make a final decision on whether to approve the school at its Oct. 13 meeting, to be held at San Dieguito High School Academy. In over 45 minutes of public comment, teachers, parents and young students said they would love to see a school like SOUL come to the Encinitas community. One eighth grader at Diegueno Middle School spoke about being severely bullied in the fourth grade and being diagnosed with depression and anxiety. She said she has become fearful of going to school, crying herself to sleep at night and, two summers ago, feeling suicidal. She said she is so scared of going to high school that she has considered online school. SEE SCHOOL, A22

Del Mar holds groundbreaking ceremony for new civic center

BY KRISTINA HOUCK City officials and community members kicked off the construction of the new Del Mar Civic Center with a groundbreaking ceremony Sept. 19 at 1050 Camino del Mar. “The groundbreaking event was a turning point from having the Del Mar Civic Center a dream into a reality,” Mayor Sherryl Parks said. The City Council on Sept. 6 unanimously awarded a $13.8 million construction contract to RABC-ECC, A Joint Venture. The company is a partnership between San Diego-based R.A. Burch Construction Co. and EC Constructors, the latter of which built Del Mar’s Beach Safety Center in 2012.

SDUHSD experiences Police use pepper spray on unruly crowd at KAABOO music festival financial surplus BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) ended the 2015-16 school year with its fourth consecutive surplus, Interim Superintendent Eric Dill reported at the Sept. 15 board meeting. The district went from a projected $2.4 million deficit in the spring to a $4 million surplus with fall’s unaudited actuals. “This continues our pattern of showing deficits throughout the year and then closing the gap by the end of the year,” Dill said. “I said twice in this very room that was our job to do, we have a gap and we needed to shrink it.” Dill credited Chief Financial Officer Delores Perley and her staff for watching how the money comes in and how the district spends it — he said the unaudited actuals are like her “final exam.” “There is quite a bit of good news,” Perley said, noting that they saw $1.5 million in savings in books and supplies and recognized a savings in special education after a two-year effort to build local programs that bring students back to the district. San Dieguito’s contribution for special education decreased by $1.9 million due to savings in legal expenses, mediation settlements, non-public agencies, non-public schools and residential treatment center costs as students transition back to district programs. The district has also met the board’s requirement of maintaining a 4.5 percent minimum reserve. The reserve for economic uncertainties is 9.16 percent, in addition to the board’s 4.5 percent requirement.

“Our unrestricted reserves are higher than they’ve ever been in terms of dollar amounts. In percentage terms they’re the highest they’ve been since 2001-2002,” Dill said. Dill said looking back the district has had surpluses in eight out of the last 10 years — the only years the district had deficits were coming out of the recession, “the worst economic times that any of us had ever seen.” Recently, the board’s fiscal responsibility has been questioned by board members as well as members of the public. In June, the district was awarded the Grand Golden Fleece Award by the San Diego Taxpayer Association for its approval of salary increases for staff in 2015 that were projected to cause deficit spending. SDUHSD Vice President Joyce Dalessandro said the reported 15-16 actuals are an example of the great job the district staff does every year. “There have been so many inaccurate, uninformed claims regarding the financial health of this district that I have found to be appalling. Letters have been printed in the press and elsewhere accusing the staff and board majority of bankrupting this district,” Dalessandro said, noting people often do not understand how school financing works or how the budget builds over the course of the school year. “They have no idea how year in and year out, this board majority and our staff create budgets that work, that we are actually incredibly conservative in our expenditures with an understanding that ending balances always change.”

BY LYNDSAY WINKLEY Trouble marred the KAABOO music festival in Del Mar on Saturday night, Sept. 17, as concertgoers tried to force their way into an at-capacity venue, officials said. Sheriff’s Lt. Mark Moreno said attendees became unruly just after 11 p.m. when they were told that Encore, the venue where rapper Ludacris and DJ Steve Aoki were set to perform, was full. Several individuals got into an altercation with deputies manning the entrance, Moreno said. One deputy used pepper spray to help disperse the crowd. Officials in a sheriff’s helicopter, flying over the location, ordered attendees to

clear the area. It took around 30 deputies about 10 minutes to quell the commotion, the lieutenant said. Four people were arrested in connection with the incident. He didn’t say what they were suspected of. Some people were pushing through the crowd in an attempt to get toward the entrance, but no fights broke out, Moreno said. No one was injured. One woman caught in the fray described the scene as “extremely dangerous.” It was a complete catastrophe,” said Celeste Lehmann, who lives in Newport Beach. “It was probably one of the scariest things I’ve ever experienced.” SEE FESTIVAL, A20

Judge mulls dropping kidnap case indictment BY DANA LITTLEFIELD A judge is considering whether to set aside an indictment against a Fairbanks Ranch man accused of trying to kidnap a 7-year-old girl outside a Solana Beach school last year and assaulting a 5-year-old girl five years earlier. In late August of last year, a San Diego grand jury returned a 10-count indictment against Jack Henry Doshay, 23, accusing him of committing a lewd act on a child with force, kidnapping, false imprisonment and assault with intent to commit a lewd act on a child. He has pleaded not guilty to the charges in Vista Superior Court.

His attorneys now contend that prosecutors failed to present evidence to the grand jury that points to someone other than Doshay in the incident involving the 5-year-old. The attorneys say the girl described a man who looked markedly different than Doshay did at the time. “The purpose of today’s hearing is to show the judge that the indictment of Mr. Doshay should be dismissed because important critical evidence having to do with his innocence was not shown to the grand jury, and had they been shown that evidence they would not SEE KIDNAP, A22

Ocean Air teacher is finalist for Presidential Award

BY DEBORAH BRENNAN Local teacher Rebecca Jones has been named a California finalist for the 2016 Presidential Awards for Excellence in Mathematics and Science Teaching. Jones, a fifth grade teacher at Ocean Air School in the Del Mar Union School District, was one of nine California teachers that State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson nominated for the prestigious award. “I was very surprised and honored,” said Jones, who has been a teacher for 18 years, and was named teacher of the year at Carmel

Del Mar Elementary School in 2009 and at Ocean Air School in 2013. “I know there are many teachers working very hard, and to be one of the finalists in all of California was quite an honor.” Jones has been a lead math teacher in Cognitive Guided Instruction, a teacher-training method based on the premise that children bring an intuitive knowledge of mathematics to school, and that math instruction should focus on the relationship between computational skills and problem solving.

Solana Beach city manager receives pay raise BY KRISTINA HOUCK Following a favorable performance review of his first year on the job, Solana Beach City Manager Greg Wade received a pay raise of $2,970, bringing his annual base salary to $200,970. Wade was hired by the city in May 2015, entering into a three-year contract that began June 22, 2015 and ends June 21, 2018, unless extended by mutual agreement. The agreement provides for an annual performance and compensation review. A council subcommittee comprised of Mayor David Zito and Councilman Mike Nichols facilitated the performance evaluation, which was conducted this summer. Upon review and evaluation of Wade’s performance this past year, the council determined that he “met the job standards as city manager,” according to the city staff report. The council voted 4-0, with Councilwoman Lesa Heebner absent, to approve the pay raise as part of the Sept. 14 consent calendar. The raise reflects a 1.5 percent increase from Wade’s initial base salary of $198,000. He also receives a $5,400 annual car allowance. According to the staff report, the increase “is commensurate to the general percentage pay increase provided to the represented employees of the city.”

Solana Beach School District selected as Golden Bell Award finalist BY KRISTINA HOUCK The Solana Beach School District recently announced it is a finalist for the California School Boards Association’s Golden Bell Awards. The school district is being recognized for its STREAM program, which focuses on science, technology, research, engineering, arts and mathematics. “It’s recognition that the program really resonates with the community and with the educational community at large,” Superintendent Terry Decker said. In an effort to develop STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) programs throughout the Solana Beach School District, the district launched coding courses for

sixth graders as part of a pilot program in 2013. After attending the first state STEM symposium that same year, representatives from the district agreed to move forward with a new STEM vision. Following the symposium, the district created its Envision Team, consisting of teachers, principals, parents and administrators. Since then, the district expanded its STEM program to include arts and research. Today, the district’s redesigned STREAM Discovery Labs are at every school site.

Solana Beach School District launches preschool scholarship program BY KRISTINA HOUCK Some local students are getting an early start to school, thanks to a new preschool scholarship program offered by the Solana Beach School District. “It speaks to the commitment on the part of our board of education to want to support all the children in our community,” Superintendent Terry Decker said. “The opportunity to provide that extra push the year before they enter kindergarten really means that we can ensure all of our students walk in the door in kindergarten ready to learn with all the foundational skills they need to be successful as they move forward.” A total of 10 scholarships are being awarded through this year’s pilot program. With the scholarship, preschool students can attend the district’s Child Development Center, which currently serves more than 200 students and offers programs for toddler, preschool, and before and after school support and services. The scholarship program was made possible through district funding for intervention programs. SEE PRESCHOOL, A20

KAABOO Del Mar announces 2017 dates BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although KAABOO Del Mar just came to a close, festival organizers have already announced dates for the third annual three-day event. KAABOO is set to return Sept. 15-17, 2017, to the Del Mar Fairgrounds. “We started working on the lineup even before KAABOO happened last year,” KAABOO founder and CEO Bryan E. Gordon recently told this newspaper. “We’ve already started work on next year’s lineup.” The inaugural KAABOO debuted last September with more than 100 acts on seven stages, attracting 50,000 attendees. The second annual KAABOO kicked off Thursday, Sept. 22 with the VIP Amplify party featuring singers Chris Isaak and Macy Gray. The three-day music, comedy and art festival then ran Friday through Sunday with headlining performances by Jimmy Buffett & The Coral Reefer Band, Aerosmith,

Jack Johnson and Fall Out Boy. From rap to rock, the long list of acts also included Daryl Hall and John Oates, Lenny Kravitz, Goo Goo Dolls, Flo Rida, Gavin Degraw, Ludacris and dozens of other artists. Billed as a “mix-perience,” KAABOO also featured comedy acts, contemporary art exhibitions, culinary offerings and craft libations. “Early bird” passes priced at $199 to $2,599, plus service fees, are already on sale for next year’s edition of KAABOO. KAABOO will be back at the Del Mar Fairgrounds for at least four more years. In April, KAABOO organizers and the 22 District Agricultural Association Board of Directors, which runs the state-owned fairgrounds, agreed to keep the festival at the fairgrounds for five years, with up to five one-year extensions.

A Journey to Happiness

TPHS grad overcomes his obstacles, writes book ‘Off the Beaten Trail’ BY KAREN BILLING After four eye-opening, life-altering months in Central America, Torrey Pines High School graduate Jake Heilbrunn came back with a whole new outlook on life and the material for his first book, “Off the Beaten Trail: A Young Man’s Soul-Searching Journey Through Central America.” The book shares Heilbrunn’s story of overcoming a chronic skin condition and depression by taking an unexpected path: He dropped out of college at 18 and went on a solo backpacking trip through Central America despite having his knowledge of Spanish language not reaching far past “Hola” and “Gracias.” His story told is raw and honest. “It’s the definition of an open book,” said Heilbrunn, now 19 and living in Carmel Valley. “The way I see it is that the best way to connect with someone is to be vulnerable.” Heilbrunn first shared his story with 2,000 Torrey Pines students at the school’s Yellow Ribbon Week in the spring, a week devoted to mental health awareness. As he noted, no one likes to talk about their depression, anxiety or life’s struggles — and yet one in 10 high school students suffer with mental health challenges. “Millions of kids feel like this and we’re not talking about it,” Heilbrunn said. “To know that you’re not alone, that’s the biggest thing. To reach out and say ‘Hey, I’m

In high school, Heilbrunn said he was a happy kid. His anxiety and depression didn’t start until he landed as a freshman at Ohio State University. Three days after arriving at college, he broke out in hives. He was uncomfortably itchy, anxious and quickly

lost confidence and became depressed as he didn’t understand what was causing it to happen or when an outbreak might occur. He was eventually diagnosed with chronic urticaria and he went through numerous pills, creams and tests but nothing seemed to work. “I was halfway across the country, 18-years-old and alone,” Heilbrunn said. “I began to realize that my stress and anxiety stemmed from a misalignment within myself, a disconnect between my dreams and passions and what I was actually doing…that discomfort manifested itself in a skin condition.” While he was grateful to have grown up in a community like Carmel Valley, with it came a lot of expectations and perceptions of success — he didn’t ever hear about kids doing things a different way such as taking a year off school to travel and volunteer and think about what they wanted to do instead of rush right into what was expected. Conversations with an Ohio State career counselor became therapeutic and helpful. He realized he hadn’t really wanted to go to college, he wasn’t really interested in studying business. Ohio State was in celebration mode after the football team winning the national championship, but Heilbrunn could no longer ignore his unhappiness. “I hope more kids have the courage to do what’s best for them without the worry of

expectations,” Heilbrunn said. He made the decision to leave Ohio State and to travel, returning home to San Diego to plan and get his finances in order to book a one-way ticket to Guatemala. He had money saved from working and figured that through a volunteer work exchange program called Workaway he could make it stretch. “Regardless of my skin, I was going to go,” Heilbrunn said. “My parents were very supportive, they trusted me.” He left on March 19, 2015 with no return-ticket. The first six weeks he volunteered in Guatemala teaching English to schoolchildren and taking treks through ancient Mayan civilization and jungles. He went on to explore Nicaragua and Costa Rica. The guy who had never even been camping before went on a hot, intense six-day, 75-mile jungle trek where he ate very little, slept on rocky ground with just a blanket underneath, ended up completely filthy and “loved every minute of it.” “I realized that things are never as bad as they might seem if you can manage to put them into perspective,” wrote Heilbrunn, who experienced a painful rash on the trip. “Humans are naturally adaptable. We have to be in order to survive.” Through the work exchange, he volunteered in places such as an eco-lodge and in the garden of a permaculture and SEE BOOK, A20

Carmel Valley interior designer wins fifth national award

Carmel Valley interior designer Deborah Gordon, of Deborah Gordon Designs, recently won the 2016 Star Design Award for Best Powder Room. The award was presented to her at the National Kitchen & Bath Industry Awards on Sept. 13 in San Diego. The award marks her fifth award in six years — she had previously won in 2015 for a kitchen design, in 2013 for a great room design, in 2012 for a Carmel Valley kitchen and in 2011 for a Mission Hills bathroom design.

Gordon worked with the Carmel Valley homeowners to redesign their entire home, including the winning powder room design. Her client’s love of bold colors was the impetus in creating the powder room with a punch of color. Gordon took advantage of the small space and focused the color on the floor, creating custom concrete tiles in vivid colors and shapes. The bright colors also speak to the colors in the antique wood carving that is SEE INTERIOR DESIGNER, A20

Local attorney reaches top of Mount Rainier on second try

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Author Barry Finlay once said that “every mountain top is within reach if you just keep climbing.” That’s true for Rancho Santa Fe’s Steve Cologne and Mount Rainier. After a failed attempt to reach the peak of the highest mountain in the state of Washington four years ago, Cologne successfully completed the climb last month. “It was one of the toughest things I’ve ever done in the outdoors, and it was also the most rewarding,” Cologne said. “I was completely overwhelmed when I got to the top.” An attorney with more than 30 years of experience, Cologne, 57, has lived in Rancho Santa Fe since 1974. He is an owner and partner with Higgs Fletcher & Mack, specializing in complex tort and business litigation. In his free time, Cologne enjoys wilderness backpacking, often in Alaska, and rim-to-rim hiking of the Grand Canyon. “It’s fantastic,” he said. Four years ago Cologne decided he would next try to summit Mount Rainier, having seen the mountain on his many trips to Alaska. He first attempted the climb in 2012. Despite having completed a half marathon and multiple hikes of the

Steve Cologne at the top of Mount Rainier at sunrise on Aug. 15, 2016. Grand Canyon that year, Cologne was unable to complete the climb. “I didn’t make it,” he said. “I never really was obsessed with it, but I felt it was a piece of unfinished business.” Determined to finish business, in January, Cologne booked another trip to Mount Rainier, the highest mountain of the Cascade Range of

the Pacific Northwest. “It’s been in the planning for months,” he said. Though Cologne had already been with a trainer for over a year, once he set his sights back on the mountain, he started specifically preparing for the climb. In April, he began a more structured training program, which included a hike up

Mount San Gorgonio, the highest peak in Southern California. Located just east of the city of San Bernardino, the highest peak of the mountain is 11,503 feet, whereas Mount Rainier’s highest peak reach 14,411 feet. “I followed their guidelines and program as much as I could, instead of just trying to think I

could do it on my own,” Cologne said about working with mountain guide company RMI Expeditions. “As a result, I thought that I was better prepared for the climb in 2016 than I was in 2012.” Cologne set out on his trip from Aug. 11-15. He started the two-day climb on Aug. 14, reaching the top of Mount Rainier at sunrise on Aug. 15. He and the small group remained at the top of the mountain for an hour before heading down at 7:30 a.m. “People come from all over the world to climb this mountain,” said Cologne, noting that Mount Rainier is a training ground for Mount Everest and the Himalayas because it is the only mountain in the continental U.S. that has glaciers and it is a near a major airport. “It’s really a great blessing that we have it this close.” Although Cologne insisted he’s not planning to climb Mount Everest anytime soon, he is seeking another mountain to climb, hoping to test his limits once more. “I told everybody this would be my last mountain to climb, whether I made it or not, and I’m kind of breaking my own promise,” Cologne said. “I’m now looking around for another mountain to climb.”

Located near Rancho Santa Fe, Casa Aldea’s focus is on a unique senior living experience with its beautifully designed luxurious surroundings, distinctive signature programs, cutting edge technologies, and compassionate, supportive care. Our community’s commitment to exceptional care and living are the cornerstone of Casa Aldea Senior Living. Offering Assisted Living apartments and Generations Paige Bradley

COURTESY

Bradley is first executive director of Women’s Empowerment International San Diego-based nonprofit Women’s Empowerment International (WE) recently announced Carmel Valley resident Paige Bradley as its first executive director. Bradley brings two decades of experience in the nonprofit, political and communications arenas to the role, where she will oversee efforts to double the organization’s funding of poverty alleviation programs by 2020. Bradley most recently worked in Paris, France, as a fundraising director for Sport dans la Ville, France’s leading nonprofit serving at-risk youth and families Bradley joined WE, a 550-member organization, on Sept. 6. She will oversee WE’s microloan and other poverty-alleviation projects for impoverished women in Uganda, Honduras, Haiti and Mexico. WE also supports the STAR Center, a City Heights business incubator through which poor San Diego women have launched 282 local businesses. “Paige has that important mix of fundraising skills, communications strengths, passion for social justice, and international experience that matches our ambitious vision of greatly increasing the breadth and impact of our help to impoverished women,” said WE President, Winifred Cox. A Los Angeles native and UCLA graduate, Bradley worked as a political consultant, fundraiser and campaign strategist in San Francisco and Silicon Valley for leading figures such as Rep. Anna Eshoo (D-CA), former Rep. Lynn Schenk (D-CA), the California Democratic Party’s Clinton/Gore

re-election campaign, and the Women’s Technology Cluster. In Boston, she served as development director at NARAL Pro-Choice Massachusetts, a 20,000-member grassroots nonprofit; and at Grub Street Writers, one of the nation’s leading literary arts centers. In France, Bradley consulted with international organizations, including the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD); the International Energy Agency (IEA); and the American Chamber of Commerce in France where she co-created a mentoring program for women entrepreneurs. “Women make up nearly 70 percent of the world’s poor. These are hard-working mothers and grandmothers struggling to care for their families,” said Bradley. “Women’s Empowerment is changing lives and communities here in San Diego and around the world by enabling these women to access the vital resources and training they need to start sustainable businesses. It is incredibly important work and I am honored to join Women’s Empowerment as its executive director.” Since receiving its tax-exempt status in 2005, WE has raised close to $1.5 million, funded poverty alleviation projects in eight countries, and has a 2020 goal of funding a half-million dollars to projects that help women out of poverty. This is part of a global effort to eliminate extreme poverty by 2030, changing the lives of nearly a billion people who live on less than $1.25 a day.

Falcons soar over Wildcats

COURTESY

Torrey Pines Pop Warner plays team from Mexico On Saturday, Sept. 17, the Torrey Pines Pop Warner Jr Varsity team had the unique opportunity to play an exhibition game against a team that flew in from Mexico City, Perros Negros. The Falcons did not win the game but they still had a great time and exchanged gifts after the game.

Musicians to bring John Denver tribute to North Coast Rep Some of the area’s finest musicians turn North Coast Rep into a nightclub. Come and hear some great American music played by brilliant players. On Sept. 26 and Sept. 27 at 7:30 p.m., tribute artist Jim Curry will perform the music of John Denver. The music “is like an old friend, outlasting trends and standing the test of time,” Curry said. Join acclaimed performer Curry for this tribute to the music of one of the most beloved singer/songwriters ever to grace the stage. His

uncanny ability to mirror Denver’s voice and clean-cut look takes you back to the time when “Rocky Mountain High” “Sunshine” “Calypso” and “Annie’s Song” topped the charts, and Denver’s popular music had the heartfelt message of caring for the earth and caring for each other.

BY WALTER BAYS Torrey Pines defeated El Camino 7-3 with the defense denying a touchdown to a dangerous Wildcat offense. Running out of the shotgun, Wildcat QB Christian Betz would run, pass, or block for Chris Brown and Marcus Parsons, and big plays were always a risk. Time and again a swarming Falcon defense would make a big tackle ending a Wildcat drive and forcing a punt or field goal try. Special mention goes to Gabe Gmyr, Andre Mieiers, Ty Helfrich, Mac Bingham, Louis Bickett, Kevin Misak, Michael Perrone, and Jacob Schneider. The first quarter was a punting duel with no score as the Falcons turned the ball over on downs deep in Wildcat territory twice, and the Wildcats turned it over once. In the second quarter Luke Duerr juked would-be tacklers for 14 yards and a first down. Then, as defenders took a fake to Duerr, Sully O’Brien streaked 63 yards for the game’s only touchdown. The second half opened with a 25-yard pass from Miles Hastings to Michael Gadinas, and a 22-yard run by Scotty Gange, but the threat ended on a Falcon fumble loss. The Wildcats came back, converting on 4th down and driving to the Falcon 14 where Perrone batted down a pass and they had to settle for a field goal. Neither team could move the ball well after that until Torrey Pines took over at their 22 with 5:11 remaining. Duerr ran 30 yards to the Wildcat 48, and the Falcons kept it on the ground. Duerr, Gmyr, and O’Brien picked up key first downs as Torrey Pines held the ball and

When Duerr picked up another first down at the 6 with no Wildcat timeouts remaining, all that remained was for Hastings to take knees for the win. El Camino drops to a 1-3 record. Torrey Pines is now 3-1 overall and 1-0 in league play, and takes on Westview at home Sept. 23.

GYROTONIC Solana Beach welcomes all ages and abilities GYROTONIC and GYROKINESIS exercises help people gain increased strength and flexibility After a career-ending injury, former professional ice skater Victoria Bilyeu turned to the GYROTONIC Method for help. Through the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM, the San Diego native was able to rehabilitate her injury without surgery. Since then, Bilyeu has helped share the benefits of the GYROTONIC Method with others, now through her Solana Beach studio. “Through my journey I have found GYROTONIC to be the only modality out there that makes your body better with age or time spent,” said Bilyeu, owner of GYROTONIC Solana Beach. “True Restorative strengthening movement patterns. The bonus is body acceptance and presence.” Created by Romanian-born Hungarian Juliu Horvath, the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM is a holistic approach to movement that is designed to meet the needs of people of all ages and abilities. Whether healthy or recovering from illness or injury, GYROTONIC and GYROKINESIS exercises help people gain increased strength and flexibility, renewed energy, and a general sense of calm and well

being, according to the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM website. The GYROTONIC Method utilizes specially-designed exercise equipment to accommodate the natural movement patterns of the human body, while the GYROKINESIS Method consists of chair and floor exercises. Both incorporate key principles also found in Yoga, Tai Chi, gymnastics and dance. “GYROTONIC is based on creating restorative movement in all the joints,” said Bilyeu, pointing to the Pulley Tower, just one of the award-winning machines available at her studio that she noted is the only weighted machine that gives users resistance training in 360 degrees for every joint. Each piece of specialized equipment has its own unique features and functions, providing an extensive range of exercise options. “From the first session on, you feel a difference,” said Loretta Morris, who has been working with Bilyeu for more than three years. “It just gets better.” Morris has lived with chronic pain most of her life. She has had knee surgery and neck

surgery, and, recently, has been recovering from an ankle injury. “I have 90 percent less pain because my core strength is strong and my big muscles are working to do what they’re supposed to be

doing to alleviate the joints,” Morris said. “It’s a whole body thing so that everything works in unison and properly — the way it’s supposed to.” Bilyeu has worked in the health and fitness industry for more than two decades. She previously served as a master Pilates instructor and figure skating instructor and coach in Colorado. Bilyeu discovered the benefits of the GYROTONIC Method by taking a class after her career-ending ice skating injury. Through her work with the GYROTONIC EXPANSION SYSTEM, she was able to correct her femur bone without surgery. “From one day to the next, it changed,” Bilyeu said. A certified GYROTONIC and GYROKINESIS teacher-trainer, Bilyeu has been teaching the GYROTONIC Method since 2008. She previously worked with Olympic ice skaters, dancers, athletes and everyday individuals at her GYROTONIC studio in Colorado for more than seven years before returning to San Diego in 2013 and opening her Solana Beach studio. GYROTONIC Solana Beach is located at 444 South Cedros Ave. in Solana Beach. Bilyeu offers individual personalized sessions, SEE METHOD, A19

OUR READERS WRITE Groundhog Day First, let it be stated that I respect the individuals on the Del Mar City Council regardless of whether or not they agree with my position regarding STRs (short-term rentals). I assume each council member serves out of a genuine desire to make Del Mar a better place. As I stated at the Sept. 19 meeting, they are up there, and I am not, doing the hard work in navigating this city forward during a time of community change. That said, I left the Sept. 19 discussion early (10 p.m.) utterly frustrated that numerous previous council meetings, public input, a draft STRs ordinance based on this public input, a public workshop that was from my point of view indicative of the overall community feeling that STRs are an issue in our city, the implementation of a moratorium of new STRs in Del Mar, and a recommendation offering two options authored by Mr. Worden and Mr. Sinnott offering viable (albeit potentially difficult) paths for our city to implement, have all occurred in an absolute time vacuum. It was as if none of the hard ground work had been done, and the council was meeting for the first time on this issue. In short, respectfully, there was no backbone demonstrated by our city council. Discourse became the excuse for non-action. The threat of legal action (which will take place regardless) all of sudden became a flash point as if it had not been previously considered. The lack of statistics became a rallying cry for inaction; something to hide behind preventing any movement on this issue. I distinctly remember statistics being shared at the public workshop in June. In short, my council let me, and I believe our city, down Monday night by not acting on an issue that needs action. I can only hope that our future council will act, and act in such a manner that pays tribute to the past involvement, action, and public debate centered on STRs in Del Mar. Scott Renner and Family Del Mar

I know an overwhelming number of my district’s teachers remain incredibly concerned with board members Muir and Salazar and their votes against desperately

needed new classrooms at Canyon Crest, as well as other important Prop AA projects throughout our district. We have seen with dismay Salazar’s efforts before to vote against the taxpayer-approved Prop AA and the incredible infrastructure improvements it continues to bring to the San Dieguito District’s students. Furthermore, in a recent Union-Tribune interview, Salazar actually offered up his reason for continued opposition to Prop AA by stating, “Building new structures doesn’t provide better education.” I wonder if our Canyon Crest parents would agree with him as it is their students who would have been sitting in the school’s parking lot if other board members had not outvoted Salazar’s and Muir’s misguided opposition to these new classrooms. Of course, Salazar’s ignorant statement on “new structures” would be laughable coming from almost anyone else, but these words, spoken by a sitting school board member who professes to represent our parents, students and taxpayers, are not only astonishing, but they demonstrate an uninformed and disconnected judgement on his part. Muir, in her recent letter to this paper, also attempted a public explanation for her misguided votes. She claims that she voted against the classrooms because our district has used the “lease/lease back model” in their construction and said this model was not recommended at a California School Board Association Conference she attended. Unfortunately, a credible source for her claim could not be found. Certainly, the lease/lease back model is a bit complicated, but what is very simple and very clear is that this model is not only perfectly legal and allowed by California Education Code, it has been used very successfully by San Dieguito and other districts across California. Moreover, the California School Boards Association shared that they have not issued any official recommendation nor advisory telling school districts not to use this model. Also, the CSBA is actually supporting current legislation which will help the lease/lease back model be a more effective tool for California school districts. While our students need new classrooms, for which the taxpayer-supported Prop AA funds are already there, Muir and Salazar deny these classrooms and offer up lame excuses at the expense of our students’ futures. While Muir and Salazar dither, it’s our students who suffer. Shame on them both. Christopher Black Encinitas

Why only ‘One View’ Why do we only have one-sided “One View” in the paper? What happened to getting both sides of the story or two opinions. I would like to see both views. Everybody can tell Gordon Canton is a far left extreme liberal. So everything he says I will perhaps do the opposite. Especially “No New Taxes,” I am tired of taxes, so No on 55, maybe the state and school districts could be more efficient. As to the death penalty, taxpayers spend more money on convicted felons than we do on helping the homeless veterans. I believe his priorities are wrong. In America English is the official language, try to learn it. Thank you. Carol Ratchuk

School choice: It’s a good thing I was pleased to read in the Sept. 15 edition of this paper that San Dieguito Unified High School District (SDUHSD) is considering a petition for a 7th-12th grade charter school. I hope the proposal for The School of Universal Learning (SOUL) Charter School will receive a thorough but fair review by district staff and the board of trustees, unbiased by the politics and rancor that sometimes afflict considerations of charter schools. Residents of this district are fortunate to have access to many wonderful schools, some of the best performing in the state; however, our high schools are large, with student bodies approaching or exceeding 2,000 students. Not all students thrive in such a setting. My eldest son, who is now a college sophomore, left our home district of SDUHSD to attend Coleman Tech Charter High School in San Diego Unified. Coleman Tech (soon to be renamed The School for Entrepreneurship and Technology, or SET) is a charter school based on the principles of the small schools movement: small student body, small class sizes, individualized instruction. My son thrived there. We feel fortunate to have found SET and that it was an option for him. I don’t know anything about SOUL Charter School beyond what I read in this paper, and I have no vested interest in it. I’m not advocating for its approval, only for it to be considered fairly and impartially by the district and its stakeholders. Having schools of choice that are designed to meet the interests and needs of all students will only make the district stronger. Diane Jacobs Baizer Del Mar

ROMP gala Oct. 29 to benefit Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego’s annual ROMP gala brings together supporters and philanthropists for a fun-filled, 1980s “House Party” at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar in Carmel Valley on Oct. 29, with a focus on a serious cause – keeping families together. The annual gala will feature musical entertainment, gourmet food and a live auction to raise funds for San Diego’s Ronald McDonald House. The charity helps keep families close to one

another and the care they need while their child is undergoing treatment at local hospitals for serious, often life-threatening conditions. Services and amenities include meals, overnight rooms, nap rooms, laundry facilities, child care programs and more to alleviate stress and financial burden, while keeping families close to their loved ones. “The Ronald McDonald House’s signature ROMP gala began seven years ago to bring our supporters, our House and the families we serve together for a

playful evening that benefits a very serious cause,” said Chuck Day, president and CEO, Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego. “This year’s ROMP – in classic ‘80s style – will bring us together again for a great party as we rally to support our Ronald McDonald House and the families in our care.” Tickets, sponsorships and more information about San Diego’s Ronald McDonald House are available at RMHCSD.org/ROMP.

Education Matters BY MARSHA SUTTON

Money is flowing, but in the right direction?

he state’s Local Control Funding Formula (LCFF) has provided school districts with significantly increased revenue which was intended to address the needs of traditionally under-performing groups of students, as well as advance achievement for all students. Using LCFF funds for across-the-board increases in teacher salary is essentially paying more for the same level of service, many experts say, and does not promise an improvement in the delivery of instruction or quality of instructional materials. In addition, many have argued the LCFF money should not be used for salary increases, because it is one-time funding and raises are a multi-year commitment. Yet, many districts – including the San Dieguito Union High School District – did it. No one would argue that San Dieguito’s teachers didn’t deserve a structural salary increase after seven years of going without – although “going without” is misleading because teachers receive regular increases in pay under the step-and-column system which rewards teachers annually for years in the district and education credentials. But the size of the raise was staggering. One issue before voters this election year is whether the raise – 12.5 percent for every

FROM TUTORING CENTER, A10 blank sign provided by C2. From academic clubs and surf teams to Torrey Pines hiking groups and Dog Beach regulars, the only prerequisites are creativity and imagination. “The Gallery of Dreams allows C2 Education to immerse itself into this vivid community with a rich passion for its coastline, art and culture,” said C2 Education Founder and Vice Chair David Kim. “We hope it empowers the local students to get creative and visualize their biggest goals — whether it’s in the classroom, in the community or wherever life takes them.”

employee in the district – was appropriate, so it’s fair to revisit the decision. Three of the five San Dieguito board members – Joyce Dalessandro, Beth Hergesheimer and Amy Herman – voted in favor of the salary increase, with Mo Muir and John Salazar opposed. Although the district also recorded revenue from other sources, LCFF was a windfall. Last year, Eric Dill, then Associate Superintendent of Business Services and now the district’s Interim Superintendent, said the district received about $94 million in Base Grant LCFF money for 2015-2016, and all that “is unquestionably flexible.” “The use of Base Grant funding is completely discretionary as part of the local control granted to each school district,” Dill said in an email. He said the Supplemental Grant portion of the LCFF that the district received – about $1.6 million – is all that must be dedicated to serving low-income and English learner students. The combined amount of about $95.8 million, he said, adds up to the total entitlement from the state for the district in 2015-2016. State assembly woman and local

During C2 Education’s Carmel Valley grand opening in October, the tutoring center will ask the participating student groups to showcase their artwork in its Gallery of Dreams. Community members will then cast votes to determine which student organization’s artwork will receive a portion of the large donation from C2 — a donation to bring their dreams to life. C2 Education began as a private tutoring program out of a Harvard University dorm room in 1997 and is now the nation’s fastest-growing network of subject tutoring, SAT/ACT test help, college readiness and

education hero Shirley Weber – never shy about speaking her mind – said in an article in July 2015 with “LA School Report” that the LCFF money was not intended for teacher raises. Weber, a Democrat, was reacting to Calif. Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson’s misguided interpretation of the 2013 LCFF law which he said allowed districts to use the cash to give teachers raises if districts can simply argue that the pay increases would “make a difference.” The original intent, Weber said, was to improve achievement and address the needs specific to low-income students, English learners and foster youth. In the 2014 election, San Diego County went for Torlakson’s opponent Marshall Tuck, by 55.9 percent over 44.1 percent. Torlakson won though, benefiting from major donations from the California Teachers Association which supported his re-election. An across-the-board salary increase, ill-advised by many education experts, does not target students in low-performing sub-groups. Nor does it address the need for crucial supplies that aid learning. Diegueno Middle School’s science department, for example, recently sent a note to parents asking for donations to its science lab “to support the hands-on lab experiments in the classroom.” Listing items needed that the dept. said were costly, the note states, “Our budget has been cut 80 percent over the last 10 years, yet our student population has remained the same.” At La Costa Canyon High School, a teacher had to beg for money for more lunch seating and to provide a sunshade for students at lunchtime. The amount he asked

To accompany the new Carmel Valley location, C2 plans to open two more San Diego area locations in Torrey Highlands and Encinitas, both of which will mentor K-12 students. In addition to helping its students academically, C2 expects each of its San Diego centers to create between seven and 10 local jobs.

for? A measly $1,800. Wouldn’t it have been nice if San Dieguito had allocated even a tiny fraction of the millions that went to salary increases to address student needs like these? The district’s school foundations seek donations every year to pay for academic and athletic programs. La Costa Canyon parent Lucile Lynch, who alerted me to these two examples, commended the foundations and teachers for their efforts to generate the supplemental funding to support academic programs. But, “At some point,” she said, “families and community members have to wonder where the [district’s] money is going and why not more of it is going directly to these and other programs.” She said La Costa Canyon families were recently notified that the Pathways program is not fully funded and that additional funding will be needed to continue this academic endeavor. “The list goes on and on,” she said. “We hear all the time how we’re doing great, but maybe we’re not doing great in how we allocate some of the funding,” Lynch said. “If the district has the money, then let’s take parents, community members and teachers out of the fundraising business.” It’s an insult to ask – nay, beg – parents for money for every little thing when so much has been provided for salary increases. Before anything else, when allocating “extra” revenue, the district should place at the top of its list science lab supplies, classroom instructional materials and other minor one-time expenses that directly and positively impact student learning and well-being.

FROM FESTIVAL, A2 She said two concerts ended at the same time — Aerosmith and the Chainsmokers — and thousands of people streamed to the Encore venue at the same time. A maze of metal gates that funneled people toward the entrance soon felt like a trap, she said. “People were pushing us from the back and once you got in, you couldn’t get out,” she said.

She and her sister were “still shaken up from it,” she added. She said she didn’t see any nearby security guards and nearly called 911. The siblings ended up hopping over one of the barricades to escape the swell of people. A spokesperson with the event apologized to those who weren’t able to get into Encore, explaining the venue was at capacity. Lyndsay Winkley writes for the San Diego Union-Tribune.

FROM OCEAN AIR, A3 Jones said the teaching method has transformed math instruction in her classroom. “I have been delighted to see the love of math come alive in my classroom,” she said. “Children’s ownership of their own strategies, and sharing different strategies, feeds that problem-solving ability.” In a news release, Torlakson said the nine finalists from California are “among the best of the best in their field and an inspiration to their students and colleagues.” ““I congratulate these remarkable teachers whose dedication and innovative teaching styles prepare our students for 21st century careers and college,” said Torlakson. The state finalists will be narrowed down to 108 national winners. Each winner will receive a citation signed by the president, and a $10,000 award from the National Science Foundation, which handles the program on behalf of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Candidates for the award must submit a 45-minute, unedited video showing them teaching a classroom lesson in math or science. They also complete a written application showing their knowledge, teaching skills and student learning results. A panel of math and science educators judge applicants on their content knowledge, teaching effectiveness, achievement results, and professional involvement. – Deborah Brennan is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

FROM PRESCHOOL, A3 “We have a very high-quality preschool program here at our Child Development Center, but it is a fee-for-service program,” Decker said. “We know there’s other preschool opportunities in the community but you can never have too many preschool opportunities for the kids whose families are challenged. We’re not looking to replace any of the current programs, we just want to add one more layer of support that’s available to families.” The full-ride scholarship is available for students who are in the year before kindergarten. It is a full-day program that aligns with the school year. Families must meet income eligibility requirements, which are the same requirements for free or reduced-price lunch. They also must live within the district boundaries. “The idea is to give them a boost in the year before kindergarten, before they enroll with us, so that they have an extra advantage coming in the door,” Decker said. In a previous interview, board member Rich Leib said he would like to expand the newly-launched program so more economically-disadvantaged children who qualify for free or reduced-price lunch would have the 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,” Leib said. “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.” Four of the 10 slots were filled by early September.

FROM BOOK, A7 healing community in Costa Rica. He kept a journal of his experiences throughout his trip. Heilbrunn said his biggest day on his trip was after he met Arnulfo Oxlaj, a human rights activist who founded the nonprofit Amor, which provides support to communities of Guatemala devastated by genocide and extreme poverty. Oxlaj devotes his time to traveling to these remote mountain villages to provide food, education, shelter and healing for the sick through natural medicine. Oxlaj took Heilbrunn to one of the poor villages he serves, Tsunama, where many of the children are orphans and have nothing; some sleep in coffee plants. Heilbrunn had brought a bunch of stickers with him on his journey and handed them

out to the children — it was amazing to him that something so small and insignificant could create such joy. He had an “a-ha” moment. “I realized any person can make a difference in someone else’s life. The fact that a few stickers created such bliss in these children’s lives sent a powerful message to my soul,” Heilbrunn said. “We have limitless potential to make a positive impact on the lives of others.” Later that afternoon he met a cacao shaman who guided him and fellow travelers in a meditation using the pure, raw chocolate. During the meditation, they were encouraged to smile and feel the effects of the cacao. He admits he thought the smile was cheesy at first but then he had a vision, another “a-ha” moment, that he would write his book. In “Off the Beaten Trail,” he covers his

levels. “It’s a nice recognition of all the hard work that’s gone into the program, from our teachers, from our administrative staff, from our board of education,” Decker said. Now in its 37th year, the CSBA Golden Bell Awards promotes excellence in education and school board governance by recognizing outstanding programs and governance practices of school boards in school districts and county offices of education throughout

California. In 2015, the CSBA received 292 entries in 19 categories. Representatives from school districts and county offices of education comprised the 28-member judging panel. The district submitted its application last spring. A team from CSBA will visit the district to validate the application sometime this month. Once the application is validated, the district will receive the Golden Bell Award. The awards presentation will take place at the CSBA’s Annual Education Conference Dec. 1-3 in San Francisco.

experiences, his lessons learned about triumph over tragedy and pursuing a life that makes you happy. Everyone has challenges, Heilbrunn says. It’s about finding a way to turn suffering into a positive force and finding light in the darkness. “It’s in the pursuit of our dreams and passions, not the destination, where we find personal fulfillment and inner peace,” Heilbrunn said. Getting the book out is the truly the beginning, Heilbrunn said, noting he sees himself doing more traveling and more public speaking which he has a real passion for. He would love to get involved with an organization that offers students a “gap year,” encouraging young adults to allow themselves the time for important personal development and to travel — he strongly believes that through travel students can

gain compassion, empathy and understanding, which creates a more conscious global culture. There is so much pressure to be successful, he said, he would love to alter what society believes is successful, what circumstances are right and wrong. “Life is an endless journey,” he writes in the book. “Every experience that we have is simply a lesson in the grand scheme of things. There is no right or wrong. It’s up to us to determine the purpose of our lives and to live in accordance with what fulfills our soul.” A percentage of the proceeds from the book will go toward Amor — to learn more, visit Amorguatemala.org. “Off the Beaten Trail: A Young Man’s Soul-Searching Journey Through Central America” is now available on amazon.com.

community during the planning and design phases of the new civic center. Over the past four years, the council has discussed the project during dozens of council meetings, held four community workshops, hosted two open houses, conducted a citywide survey and conducted an online poll, among other outreach activities. Parks said the city will continue to engage the community during the construction phase. “There will be opportunities for the public to come down to the site and actually come onto the property to see what is happening,” she said, noting that such opportunities will be by invitation-only to ensure public safety. “This will give us all a chance to see the buildings come alive and it won't seem to be taking so long.” About 60 people, including city staff and community members, attended the groundbreaking ceremony. Construction is expected to be completed in spring 2018. “It will be worth your wait,” Parks said.

FROM SCHOOL, A1 “I know I’m not alone but I feel alone. I don’t tell many people for the fear of the embarrassment or the rumors,” said the brave young student. “I had lost hope but I now I have a glimmer of hope that maybe I might find a place where I fit in, where I’m not constantly depressed. That glimmer of hope brought me here, it’s the reason I’m talking to you….When I read about SOUL in the newspaper, I smiled. A real smile. It may not feel like much to others but it is a big deal to me. So I ask please, please approve SOUL.” SOUL’s co-founders Michael Grimes and Marisa Bruyneel are hoping to open the 7-12th grade school in 2017, with a capacity that would reach 600 students. “Our vision for SOUL is to create and prove a new model of education, one that emphasizes holistic education, connects students to their life’s passion and purpose, and enables them to develop the tools and skills needed to live their best lives,” Bruyneel said. They aim to create a “conscious and intentional culture” on a campus where students feel safe. A typical day includes their unique “Integra” program in which students start the day by setting their intentions and meditating, have a midday focus on self development and an end-of-the-day reflection session. Academics are a combination of experience-based and project-based learning and required electives, including entrepreneurship and essential life skills. Grimes said all of the Common Core State Standards will be mastered and students will be assessed with MAP (Measures of Academic Progress) tests and Smarter Balanced Assessment tests like all public schools. The school expects to be fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and its courses University of California approved. “We’re completely dedicated to ensuring the success and happiness of our students, teachers, staff and administration,” Bruyneel said. “We will honorably represent this district and prove a new model of education that will be exceptional in every way.” At the meeting, SOUL got an endorsement from Miles Durfee, managing regional director of the California Charter Schools Association, (CSSA) who has children in the district.

FROM FRAUD, A1 “The opposition is counting on the fact that many STVR owners live (and vote) elsewhere and we need to change this,” states the email, whose author’s name has since been redacted. “We can. And it’s pretty easy. I’m one of those and changed.” The email gives step-by-step instructions on how rental owners can list their property address as their home address and then list their actual residence as their mailing address in order to receive a mail ballot at their non-Del Mar home. The California Elections Code, however, states that people can only vote in the precinct in which they are “domiciled.” The email also describes some council members and council candidates as “supporters” and others as “opponents” of short-term rentals. “We want a fair election and I want a fair election,” said Corti, who was identified as a “swing vote” in the letter. Corti said he was “appalled and disappointed” by the group’s actions. After learning about the letter, he said he sent the group an email insisting he would help ensure

was able to have his kids attend them by moving to the area. He said he believes SOUL meets all the legal standards for charter schools and the CSSA has developed a great relationship with Bruyneel and Grimes, whom he finds to have the kind of passion that makes schools great. “I hope we can all work together to see another fantastic choice for 600 students,” Durfee said. In the board’s questions to SOUL, SDUHSD Vice President Joyce Dalessandro wondered how deeply the charter school had investigated the district’s Sunset High School. “There’s a lot going in this district and these are schools of choice,” Dalessandro said, noting Sunset seems to achieve many of the goals they have presented. Bruyneel said they are not comparing themselves to SDUHSD schools but offering something different. She said she has not seen the focus that they have in developing the whole child and their Integra program in SDUHSD schools. Bruyneel and Grimes also said that there were some “alarming statistics” at Sunset in terms of students not performing at their highest. “Having another option only helps meet more students’ needs,” Grimes said. Rick Ayala, Sunset’s principal for the last eight years, said Sunset is technically a continuation school but he thinks there are a lot of misconceptions about that term – it is a school of choice, an alternative to the comprehensive high schools in the district. “Ninety-five percent of our students are here voluntarily for three reasons: Some are here to accelerate their progress to graduate early, some are here to recover credits and get caught up, and others because they’d rather be at a small school,” said Ayala of the school that typically peaks at 160 students. Ayala did not agree with the statements that his students were not performing or failing. “To me it just sounds like somebody asked SOUL a question and they had a knee-jerk reaction because they weren’t prepared to answer that question,” Ayala said, noting no one from SOUL has ever spoken to him about the school or visited, which Grimes did acknowledge. “My gut feeling was that was a jab at what we do without the person knowing what we do. To say that students are failing is an uninformed statement.” Ayala gave just one example of a former student who spent four years at Sunset, graduated early to attend UC Berkeley, where he graduated with honors, and is now attending Yale Law School. The board also voiced concerns about the math the city has a fair election. “The effort by the Share Del Mar Alliance to have non-residents change their voter registration to Del Mar is not only a violation of the California Elections Code, but a direct threat to the integrity of our upcoming Del Mar election,” said Del Mar resident and former San Diego County Supervisor Pam Slater-Price. “As a longtime elected official, I know how important it is for citizens to trust that elections are fair, and I know that you, as elected officials, share my commitment to stopping voter fraud,” she added. “I certainly encourage all qualified citizens to vote, but please vote where you live. Don’t try to affect the outcome of our elections by claiming to live here when you don’t. Your domicile is where you and your family reside — not where you do business.” In an effort to identify and prevent voter registration fraud, Slater-Price requested the council direct city staff and citizens “to work cooperatively and proactively” with the San Diego County Registrar of Voters, San Diego County District Attorney’s office and California Secretary of State. She said that several non-residents allegedly registered to vote by

curriculum and meeting state standards, the enrollment process, funding and the school location. Trustee John Salazar asked how the school will handle special needs students with a relatively small budget. Grimes said the math curriculum being developed will specifically meet the state standards and noted that it is illegal for charters to have admissions requirements. As far as funding, they plan to launch a crowd-sourcing campaign in October and are eying the Pacific View property as a potential location. Grimes said for their budget, they are working with Charter School Management Corporation as their “back-office provider” for financial management and operations expertise. One Encinitas resident, Justin Stockton, had questions about whether project-based experiential learning is achievable in large segments and also had concerns about the school’s “spiritual” side —after seeing the “brouhaha” created by yoga in the elementary school, he wondered about the legal challenges and the potential litigation with a school that takes that approach with public dollars. Bruyneel said they have moved away from using the highly-charged word “spiritual” in their petition and have changed it to “personal development.” She said the school is in no way religious. She also noted that their class sizes will be small at a 25:1 ratio. Tony Ricciuti, an Encinitas native who has 24 years of experience in education, praised the school for what they are trying to accomplish. “It breaks my heart everyday when kids come to middle school and they’ve already been beaten. They tell you ‘I’m stupid’ or ‘I don’t know things’ and it makes me want to cry,” Ricciuti said. “I’ve been trying to do the things they’re talking about doing within the public education system…I hope San Dieguito will open your arms and welcome them. If they don’t, somebody will.” Robert MacPhee, an Encinitas speaker and facilitator who helps colleges and high schools like San Dieguito through his” Excellent Decisions” program, also complimented SOUL for the conversation they are starting. “Our young people are going out into an environment where they are faced with incredible stress and pressure,” MacPhee said, noting students need to develop a strong sense of self to make decisions about issues such as binge drinking, drugs, bullying, sex and, as they heard that night, suicide. “What I’ve seen is that the students with the strongest sense of self, who really know who they are in addition to having all the academic skills, are the ones who are truly thriving.”

listing their business address or the Del Mar Post Office address as their residence. “With the number of applications in a voter pool this small, it will be possible for us to go through and verify that everyone is, indeed, a resident,” Slater-Price said. “It will also send a clear and present message to everyone who might consider doing this to advance their own business purposes.” Del Mar resident Claire McGreal also asked that the Registrar of Voters verify all Del Mar residents who registered to vote on or after Aug. 31, when the email was circulated. “This is a very, very important issue,” McGreal said. “We must do whatever we can do to protect the integrity of our elections in Del Mar.” The email was first addressed publicly at the Sept. 6 council meeting, when council members received a red dot letter just prior to the meeting. Council members couldn’t discuss the item because it was not on the agenda, but they agreed to address the issue at the next meeting on Sept. 19. Following the Sept. 6 meeting, the city’s administrative services director, Ashley Jones, said she forwarded the original email to the San Diego County Registrar of Voters. The

FROM KIDNAP, A2 have indicted him,” said Paul Pfingst on Sept. 15, Doshay’s lead defense attorney. According to prosecutors, the young girl was interviewed in 2015 — when she was 10 — and described being lured by a man to a shed at Solana Santa Fe Elementary School to look at a “white bunny.” Once the girl was behind the shed, the man grabbed her by the hips, turned her around and tried to remove her pants. The girl screamed and kicked her attacker in the groin. He then ran off. Pfingst said the girl told investigators that her assailant was a man with curly hair and heavy acne all over his face. However, photos of Doshay around that time show him with clear skin, a beard and a mustache. Pfingst said the girl, who was shown a photo line-up, was only able to identify her alleged attacker to a 20 percent probability. “Given the weakness of the identification and the acne issue we believe all of that should have been disclosed to the grand jury. It was not,” Pfingst said. The defense team called two witnesses during the hearing, both detectives from the sheriff’s Encinitas station who were involved in the investigation. Detective Michael Benavides, testified he was asked to contact a former sheriff’s deputy who responded to a call about a young girl being “annoyed” or “molested” at the school on Sept. 7, 2010. The former deputy found that there wasn’t enough evidence to show that a crime had been committed or for a report to be taken, according to the testimony. That finding was noted as “unfounded” in a computer-aided dispatch report from the day of the incident. Doshay is also accused of kidnapping and other charges related to a March 23 attack last year on a 7-year-old girl outside Skyline Elementary School in Solana Beach. Authorities have said that a stranger dressed in baseball clothes approached the girl right after school ended, put packing tape over her mouth and moved her toward a secluded area near the back of the school. The child fought off the assailant. – Dana Littlefield is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

Registrar of Voters, she said, has since notified the San Diego County District Attorney’s office, which has started an investigation. “That’s still actively underway,” Jones said at the Sept. 19 meeting. “We will continue to provide any information or assist them in any way that they need us to.” Since the initial email, the sender sent a retraction on Sept. 8, urging recipients to “not take any action in response to or reliance on my email.” Despite the retraction, council members wanted to make a clear statement to the community that people should not falsely register to vote in Del Mar. Therefore, the council made a motion to confirm its commitment to preserve the integrity of the local election. The council encouraged city staff to continue to work closely with the Registrar of Voters, the district attorney’s office and other authorities on any suspected illegal voter activity in the community. The council also encouraged city staff and community members to cooperatively work together to identify suspect addresses. “This needs to be very clear to everybody that this is not something we want in our community,” Deputy Mayor Terry Sinnott said.

The big story of ‘Little Boy’ Local resident Clay Perkins’ WWII collection shared with Japanese college students BY KAREN BILLING orld War II ended with arguably one of the most significant events in the history of the 20th century, the dropping of two nuclear weapons. An exact replica of the atomic bomb that fell on Hiroshima —“Little Boy” — sits in Rancho Santa Fe resident Clay Perkins’ backyard. Perkins’ home in Fairbanks Ranch is a mini-museum, filled with his collections of rare books and artifacts, over 700 firearms, two dozen cannons, a hydrogen bomb and five atomic bombs, three of them real although, of course, not active. Recently, Perkins shared Little Boy and the rest of his WWII memorabilia with a group of visitors from Ritsumeikan University in Japan. Ritsumeikan professor Kinue Tokudome, a friend of Perkins’, worked for years to get permission from the university for students to come to America to learn more about the war. While in San Diego, students visited with 96-year-old Dr. Lester Tenney, a survivor of the Bataan Death March who now lives at La Costa Glen retirement community in Carlsbad. Perkins has several artifacts from his friend Tenney’s three and a half years as a prisoner of war in his collection that he was able to show to the Japanese students. At his home, Perkins led the students in a discussion about the bomb and why it exists, how it worked in a nuclear sense, and then they sat for over an hour raising complicated, interesting ethical and tactical questions — before a luncheon with Tenney in Carlsbad. “A good time was had by all, as they say,” Perkins said. The trip, sponsored by Mitsubishi Materials, will also include visits to the American Defenders of Bataan and Corregidor Museum in West Virginia, and the Harry S. Truman

Library and Museum in Missouri. Perkins, 82, was fascinated by the Manhattan Project and nuclear physics as a young boy. A retired physicist, Perkins is an actual rocket scientist. He helped build the Atlas Missile, the first intercontinental ballistic missile at San Diego’s Convair Division at General Dynamics, as well as the Centaur space rocket. Perkins got into real estate development which he said has allowed him to purchase many of his rare artifacts when they became available — like one of the world’s earliest maps and a sword once owned by George Washington that dates back to 1776. His wife, Dorothy, is a fellow history buff, having written 11 books, including an exhaustive one on Texas history — her ancestors’ Texas roots reach back to the early 19th century and she owns a teapot once owned by Mexican dictator Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna. Perkins’ success in real estate also allowed him to build his home in Rancho Santa Fe — he has lived in Fairbanks Ranch for 19 years and one of his proudest accomplishments is the library he designed, a book-lover’s dream with two stories of shelves filled with treasured tomes, such as his worn copy of “The Making of the Atomic Bomb” by Richard Rhodes, filled with notes and post-it note bookmarks. “Science and history are very different. But they both satisfy curiosity,” Perkins said. As his Japanese visitors would discover, his World War II collection is museum-quality. In one hallway, Perkins has the story of World War II in relics — beginning with a “Remember Pearl Harbor” wall hanging that hung in many American homes after the December 1941 bombing. On the wall are remnants of Tenney’s life as a POW (prisoner of war) — he was captured by the Japanese in April 1942 and, along

Clay Perkins leads a discussion with Japanese students at his home. with some 75,000 American and Filipino soldiers, was a part of the 65-mile Bataan Death March, five days with no food or water. As many as 11,000 soldiers died on the way to the Philippine prison camp. In a frame, Perkins has Tenney’s few possessions he owned while he was a prisoner —a kit of steel, quartz rock and cotton to start a fire or smoke the rare, occasional cigarette. There is a rock from the Bataan Death March, a hunk of coal from the coal mine in Japan he was forced to work in, and the lucky rabbit’s foot Tenney carried for those three long years where he and fellow prisoners were beaten, tortured and some killed. “When he gave that to me, I was

deeply touched,” Perkins said. Tenney gave the items to Perkins for his 80th birthday. Tenney has been a longtime crusader for justice — he has said history books don’t paint an accurate picture about Japan’s treatment of POWs. On his wall, Perkins has a photo of when Tenney received an apology from the Japan’s Foreign Minister Katsuya Okada in 2010 — “A staggering step,” Perkins said, and another from 2015 when he met Japan’s Prime Minister Shinzo Abe for another official apology. Also along the wall are Japanese surrender leaflets, an art piece made by Japanese children out of the rubble of Hiroshima, ticker

tape that announced the end of the war, as well as a copy of the surrender document signed on the Battleship Missouri — one of only seven copies made. A few steps from the hallway, on the patio of his backyard, sits the Little Boy replica. Dropped on Hiroshima on Aug. 6, 1945 out of the Enola Gay, the bomb killed 80,000 people. Tens of thousands more died from after-effects. Perkins said that the atomic bomb is different from fire bombs as it is one airplane, one bomb, one city. “It is so dramatic that people see it as worse, but more people were killed by samurai swords in World War II than atomic bombs,” Perkins said, noting an estimated 500,000 were killed by Japanese swords, wincing when he related how he saw an interview once with a soldier talking about how much his shoulders ached after battle, using his weapon to cut down so many men. “The conclusion is, war is hell.” Perkins’ Little Boy is an “extremely accurate” replica — made with electrical parts left over from the Manhattan Project. “This is a cannon-type bomb,” Perkins said, explaining that there is a piece of uranium in the nose and in the tail. “When the bomb goes off, the uranium pieces slice SEE PERKINS, B15

San Diego International Film Festival back Sept. 28 through Oct. 2

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Celebrating the year’s best independent cinema from emerging and established filmmakers around the world, San Diego International Film Festival is back bigger and better than ever before — with a new name. Although the film festival has always highlighted regional, national and international filmmakers, the word “international” is now officially part of the festival’s name. “We’ve always had a strong international film lineup, but this year even more so,” said Tonya Mantooth, executive and artistic director of San Diego International Film Festival. “We felt like it was an important time for us to transition because that’s truly who we are. We receive films from 65 countries.” Produced by the San Diego Film Foundation, the 15th annual film festival runs Sept. 28 through Oct. 2 and features nearly 100 films at two festival villages. This year’s lineup features 95 films, including six gala films, 20 narrative competition films, six narrative spotlight films, nine documentary competition films, five documentary spotlight films, and 49 short films. Screenings will be held in the newly-renovated historic Balboa Theatre and Regal Theaters in downtown San Diego, as well as ArcLight Cinemas in La Jolla. “It’s always really exciting,” Mantooth said. “You’ve got different films and different activities and events going on every year.” The selection process started in February. There were more than 2,000 entries this

Last year's film festival. year. About 70 screeners were selected to view the films. Every film is viewed twice, Mantooth said, and based on the rankings, selected films moved forward to the next step, where they were viewed again. “We begin to identify the best of our features, the best of our documentaries, the best of our short films,” she said. “We make our selections from there.” As executive and artistic director of the film festival, Mantooth screens every film. This year she started reviewing films in February. Since then, she has logged about 350 hours of screening time.

JASON DE ALBA

“I see every single one of them,” she said. “When I program the festival, I really try to give our audience a really broad spectrum of films to consider.” San Diego International Film Festival opens Sept. 28 with the Opening Night Film & After Party at Balboa Theatre. The Night of the Stars Tribute is set to take place the following day on Sept. 29 at the Museum of Contemporary Art in La Jolla. Co-hosted by film critics Jeffrey Lyons and Ben Lyons, the event honors some of the industry’s most accomplished actors, directors and filmmakers. This year’s

honorees include four-time Academy Award nominee Annette Bening. She will receive the Gregory Peck Award for Excellence in Cinema. “We are super excited for our celebrity tribute this year,” Mantooth said. Leading the festival lineup are gala presentation screenings, which include Mick Jackson’s “Denial” starring Rachel Weisz, Pedro Almodóvar’s “Julieta” starring Adriana Ugarte, Kevin Pollak’s “The Late Bloomer” with Britany Snow, Maria Bello and J.K. Simmons, “Citizen Soldier,” from directors David Salzberg and Christian Tureaud, and “Trespass Against Us” with Michael Fassbender, Brendan Gleeson and Rory Kinnear. “Everybody will find something that they will enjoy,” Mantooth said. “We’ve got some great gala films that star some terrific actors.” The lineup also includes “Po,” a film starring young Del Mar actor Julian Feder. Based on a true story, the film follows a single working dad who cares for his autistic sixth-grade son. The film will be screened at 7 p.m. Oct. 1 at ArcLight Cinemas and at 6:30 p.m. Oct. 2 at Geoffrey Theater. “‘Po’ was a film that really was near and dear to my heart,” Mantooth said. “It was handled with real honesty and real grace.” Passes and individual tickets are currently on sale. In addition to screenings and events, passes provide access to the official festival lounge and parties where pass holders interact with festival filmmakers and professionals in the film community.

Fashion Week comes to Village and Shores, Sept. 29-Oct. 2 BY ASHLEY MACKIN Fashion Week San Diego (FWSD) will once again hold its keystone events in La Jolla, Sept. 29-Oct. 2, with the signature two-night runway shows taking place in the Shores, bookended by two events in the Village. Last year was the first time the runway show was held in La Jolla, and organizers shut down Wall Street for the occasion. This year’s event, while less impactful, will be just as exciting. The four-night event opens with the “Art and Beauty Behind Fashion” reception, 6 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 29 at Shane Bowden Gallery, 7655 Girard Ave. Rather than clothing, hair and makeup as artistic media, will be on exhibit. Highlights include a virtual reality video from last year, hair sculpted into artistic displays, music, one-of-a-kind art made for Fashion Week, and cocktails with partial proceeds going to FAB Authority and Rancho Coastal Humane Society. FAB Authority assists emerging

Allison Andrews fashion and art businesses with workshops and events dedicated to helping them launch, maintain and grow healthy businesses in San Diego. Spanning two nights, Sept. 30 and Oct. 1, 26 fashion designers will showcase their wares at Hotel La Jolla, 7955 La Jolla Shores Drive, with 13 designers showing each evening. “We love bringing this event to new venues to make it something new, special

and unique for that year. The new settings provide a new feel and a new experience,” said Fashion Week San Diego executive director Allison Andrews. Night one of the Runway Show picks up 6 p.m. Friday and will feature (in alphabetical order): B.JASH.I, Chavon Shree, DeAnnah Rae, Fuseik, GFASH Now, Killem with Chic, Laced with B, Luis Rivas, Margaret the Maker, Odd Bird Designs, P. Sangeeta, RACA Designs and Valleau Apparel. The first night will also include the annual Haute Dog Fashion Show where adoptable dogs from Rancho Coastal Humane Society walk the runway. The next night, also starting at 6 p.m., the remaining 13 designers present 2017 spring/summer collections: Albert Ray Collection, As Much Again, Bryan VaughnBerry, (La Jolla resident) Circa Suzy Vintage Couture, Gloria Guerrero, Jaded Marie, LK Fashion, Pashn by Survi, Territa Torres, The Stylish Bisou, Theo Doro

Attendees can view and shop all the labels from 2016 Fashion Week designers and other FWSD vendors. At 1 p.m., the Fashion Awards recognize top designers and models (as voted on by the FWSD audience). Representing La Jolla, designer Suzy McCabe of Circa Suzy Vintage Couture will make her Fashion Week debut to showcase her vintage-inspired jewelry. She said she was “very excited” to do so. “I always wanted to be a designer, and four years ago transitioned out of corporate America to design and make jewelry,” she told La Jolla Light. “I take semi-precious stones and set them with unique broaches to create these one-of-a-kind pieces for women with some modern moxie. It’s vintage with a twist.” — Find a full schedule and ticket purchases at fashionweeksd.com

‘Shop for a Cause’ in RSF Sept. 25 to support veterans

BY KAREN BILLING A Shop for a Cause fundraiser supporting the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) will be held at the Rancho Santa Fe Garden Club (17025 Avenida de Acacias, RSF) on Sunday, Sept. 25 from 3 to 6 p.m. The event will feature 16 independent distributors for the women’s and children’s clothing

line LuLaRoe. The benefit for veterans and military families was organized by Michelle Storm, who is the daughter of the late Gordy Bartow, a longtime Rancho Santa Fe resident, and Susan Bartow. “I am a military spouse and anything veterans-oriented is very close to my heart,” said Storm.

“The VFW helped me out in my time of need when my husband was deployed, so I felt that it’s my turn to give back to them.” LuLaRoe clothing is not available in stores or on a company website — LuLaRoe consultants, such as Storm, sell clothing out of their homes, under the mantra of “grace,

charm and hustle.” All proceeds from the sales will benefit the VFW, an organization that ensures veterans are respected for their service, always receive their earned entitlements and are “recognized for the sacrifices they and their loved ones have made on behalf of this great country.”

The VFW has a variety of programs that assist veterans in their post-military life, as well as programs that support active duty families who face unforeseen circumstances.

Senior class project benefits Casa de Amparo The San Diego Del Norte Chapter of National Charity League, Inc. (NCL, Inc.) recently completed its annual Senior Class Project at Casa de Amparo. The project included renovation of its New Direction facility in Oceanside. The project was selected, financed, planned and executed entirely by the Chapter’s Senior Class of 21 girls. New Directions is an extension of Casa de Amparo for young adults, ages 18 to 25, who are foster and former foster youth. It provides transitional housing for up to 64 adults and equips these young adults with the necessary skills and resources to make a successful transition from foster care to independent living. Services provided include: housing and basic necessities; support for medical needs; assistance with employment, education and career planning; and life skills training, including in the areas of money management, parenting and relationship training. “The generous contributions by the Senior Class of the San Diego Del Norte Chapter of NCL will truly make a difference in the lives of our New Direction participants,” said Emily Morgan, director of programs for Casa de Amparo. “The beautification of the counseling center and

Chargers host free mammogram event at Qualcomm For the fourth year, the San Diego Chargers are partnering with Susan G. Komen San Diego to underwrite the cost of providing qualified women access to free mammograms on Wednesday, Sept. 28 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Qualcomm Stadium. In 2013, the Chargers were the first NFL team in the nation to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month with this unique campaign when more than 700 San Diegans reached out to get help. Since then they have inspired other teams to follow in their

footsteps. “Komen San Diego is helping to save lives every day, and we are thrilled to once again be partnering with them to provide free, life-saving mammograms to women in our community,” said A.G. Spanos, Chargers president of business operations. “My mother is a proud breast cancer survivor, which makes this event even more significant and special to me.” In San Diego, six women a day are diagnosed with breast cancer and, unfortunately, one woman a day passes SEE CHARGERS, B23

Silver Age Yoga North Coast Rep to present plans fundraiser Neil Simon's 'Laughter on Oct. 13 at DM the 23rd Floor' Silver Age Yoga, a nonprofit

organization that provides donation-based yoga classes to seniors, and who taught over 800 free classes last year, is holding its fourth annual fundraiser Thursday, Oct. 13, at the Powerhouse Community Center in Del Mar. The event is from 5:30 - 8:30 p.m. with live music, food, wine, silent auction, sunset and a spectacular ocean view. Silver Age Yoga students and teachers tickets are $42. A highlight of the event is the silent auction featuring items from local artists, restaurants and businesses. Items sure to be popular are the meditation rocks by Julie Ann Stricklin, a local Del Mar artist. All proceeds from the event will support Silver Age Yoga classes. Classes are funded in part by grants from the Mizel Family Foundation and the City of Encinitas and the Rancho Bernardo Community Foundation. For more information, or to buy tickets, go to www.silverageyoga.org/ celebration or call 858-693-3110.

North Coast Repertory Theatre, which mounted a monster hit last year with Neil Simon’s Chapter Two, is now staging one of Simon’s funniest plays, “Laughter on the 23rd Floor,” the playwright’s love letter to his early career as a writer for Sid Caesar’s “Your Show of Shows.” “Laughter on the 23rd Floor” will run Oct. 22-Nov. 13 (previews Oct. 19). Described by Variety as “a battery of yuks that barely lets up,” the play

recounts his writing, fighting and wacky antics during the days of live television when he cavorted with such comedy legends as Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks. As you clutch your sides in laughter at their wild witty attempts to please their terrifyingly demanding boss, you’ll see why the New York Times hailed Laughter as “one of Simon’s best, most enduring and endearing plays.” For tickets and more information: (858) 481-1055 or www.northcoastrep.org.

Agatha Christie’s ‘The Mousetrap’ coming to The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep The Theatre School @ North Coast Rep will present “The Mousetrap” by Agatha Christie Oct. 6-9. The longest running show in history, “The Mousetrap,” is arguably Agatha Christie’s best, spine-tingling, who-dunnit. Who doesn’t love a murder mystery? In this play, everyone is a suspect and a potential victim. Set in the dead of winter, 1952, at the Great Hall of Monkswell Manor, a group of people find themselves stuck in a house where murder lurks around every corner. As each guest is introduced, the audience begins to see that each character is more suspicious than the next. “I’m thrilled by the melodrama style of this murder mystery,” said Director Ben Cole. “The characters are outrageous and their eccentricities tickle your spine as the audience tries to figure out who the killer is. Everyone in the show has a secret! Watching them creep around to discover what’s really the truth makes the show a fun and suspenseful ride from start to finish.” To purchase tickets and for show times, call 858-481-1055 or visit www.northcoastrep.org.

Clothing drive at TRE Boutique to support domestic violence victims Community Resource Center is partnering with TRE Boutique to collect gently-used clothing to support victims of domestic violence. Now through Oct. 5, TRE is accepting donations at its stores in Del Mar, Encinitas and Pacific Highlands Ranch. The donations will directly benefit domestic violence survivors, many of whom have fled from abusive situations with only the clothes they were wearing. Community Resource Center is North County’s leading provider of domestic violence services. Every month, the center receives more than 200 crisis calls on its domestic violence hotline. In 2015, the center received 2,454 such calls. “We appreciate TRE Boutique working with us to make a generous donation and to draw attention toward this very serious issue,” said Rebecca Palmer, CRC’s director of programs. Donations are tax-deductible and donors can receive a 15 percent discount for one new item from TRE in exchange for their gift of used clothing. On Oct. 6, TRE Boutique is hosting a shopping party at its Del Mar store, in Flower Hill Promenade, from 2 to 7 p.m. Fifteen percent of sales will benefit domestic violence victims. “I’m so pleased that a family-run business has joined hands with one of the county’s strongest social service partners,” said County Supervisor Dave Roberts. “One in 4 women will be victims of domestic violence or abuse in their lifetimes. Every day, Community Resource Center provides comfort to families impacted by domestic violence.” For store locations, visit www.treboutique.com.

For information about either the job fair or the open house, call 760-795-8710.

TIME FOR A CHANGE? GET EDUCATED! The markets rise but you’re not keeping up. Your monthly statement arrives and you scratch your head wondering why your portfolio hasn’t kept pace with whatever benchmark your advisor has set for you, assuming they’ve set a proper benchmark in the ﬁrst place. Many clients of big banks are in the exact same boat. Hidden fees and underperformance go hand-in-hand, which over time can lead to massive opportunity loss. In addition, your portfolio holdings may be riskier than you think.

ARE YOU AWARE OF THE CONFLICTS-OF-INTEREST? Many investors distrust their bank or brokerage, but trust their investment advisor or they likely wouldn’t be doing business together. However, most people aren’t aware of the multiple conﬂicts of interest inherent in the way advisors and banks are compensated. If your advisor is compensated to transact, or compensated to solicit one product that

pays more than another, shouldn’t that raise a red ﬂag? Did you know that brokerages and banks are paid by mutual fund companies for “Distribution”? Brokers are selling mutual funds and “professionally managed accounts” based on many things, including their relationship with their wholesaler (who takes them golﬁng, to fancy dinners, etc.). Wholesalers have large marketing budgets for a reason.

Cooking Oils: Where there’s smoke, there’s fire

few weeks ago while chatting with a friend on the phone, I was jarred by a cacophonous tattoo of shrieks in the background. She quickly explained that the smoke alarm was sensitive, especially when she seared fish or meat on the stovetop. Before her house caught on fire, I asked if she was using extra virgin olive oil for her cooking needs. After a curt, “Yes — how’d you know?” she hung up before my response to attend to her culinary emergency. Alas, not all oils (even the mighty olive oil, the heart healthy king of its class) are suitable for a variety of uses. In fact, this liquid gold is incompetent (and downright dangerous) as a high temp cooking oil. Here’s why. Smoke Signals. While we all like the sound of chopped onions, a fresh fish fillet or a strip of steak sizzling as it hits a hot greased pan, we must be judicious to use fats that don’t break their smoke point barrier. Oils have a smoke point, that is, the temperature at which they begin to smoke, stink, burn and taste acrid. If they reach or exceed this point, then they chemically disintegrate, destroying healthful antioxidants, and releasing harmful carcinogenic free radicals. They also produce acrolein, a toxin responsible for tainting the

smell and flavor of foods cooked in the oil, stinging eyes, reeking up kitchens and triggering pesky smoke detectors. Case in Point. As a cautionary rule of thumb it is ill-advised to use fats with low smoke points for cooking foods at high temperatures (between 350 and 450 degrees Fahrenheit), whether roasting, grilling, searing, frying, sautéing or woking. Generally, lighter-colored oils have higher smoke points than darker ones. So when cranking up the heat, whether you’re deep-frying chicken, roasting a holiday bird with an assortment of seasonal root vegetables, whipping up a stir-fry, or pan frying fish or meat, then use high temp fats with these moderate to high smoke points:

Avocado oil (400 degrees F). Corn oil (400-450). Grapeseed oil (420-428). Canola oil (425-475). Peanut oil (450). Clarified (Ghee) butter, sunflower and soybean oils (450-475). Rice bran oil (490). Safflower oil (475-500). On the low end of the smoke point scale, use these fats only when cooking or baking at low temps, or add at the end of cooking: Extra virgin olive oil (325 degrees F). Coconut, sesame oils and butter (350). Duck and chicken fats (375). Different Smokes for Different Folks. Olive oil, especially extra virgin, has transformed the Mediterranean diet into a global role model. While divine in vinaigrettes, hummus dips, as a finishing oil for pizzas, bruschettas and pastas, even in baked goods like lemon poppy cake and hazelnut biscotti it should not be used at high temperatures, although a low sauté with a watchful eye is fine. Same with coconut oil and butter that burn quickly, even at moderate temperatures, so simmer or sauté only on low heats. Yet clarified or Indian Ghee butter has a much higher smoke point, and is excellent for sautéing, searing or roasting vegetables, fish and seafood, along with whipping up breakfast treats like French toast and frittatas. Avocado oil is a blend of monounsaturated, saturated and polyunsaturated fats suitable for a variety of uses from sautéing to marinades and dressings. High smoke point peanut, safflower and rice bran oils are superb for wok stir-fries or deep-frying, while neutral tasting corn and canola oils are ideal for searing carnivorous offerings.

Sauté vegetables until tender, leaving mushrooms and onions to the end. Lower heat. Blend in rice and season with salt, pepper and ginger. Crack in eggs, blend, and keep on heat until cooked. Garnish with cilantro sprigs, sesame seeds or chopped scallions. Serve with ginger soy sauce. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

SDA boys water polo benefit event to help fund pool rental The San Dieguito High School Academy boys water polo team is holding its annual Parents’ Night Out fundraiser at Cardiff Beach Bar @ Tower 13 on Friday, Sept. 30, from 7 to 11 p.m. A San Dieguito Academy Foundation sponsored event, the fundraiser will feature live music by Echophonic, a local cover band, starting at 8 p.m. Proceeds will help fund pool rental for the team. Cardiff Beach Bar @ Tower 13 is supporting the team. In addition to providing the talented band, they are donating a percentage of food sales to the SDA boys water polo team. This, coupled with a suggested $15 donation at the door, should go a long way in helping the team. Fundraising is essential for the water polo team. “None of the schools in our district have pools, so we all have to rent pool space,” said Tammy Dahl, SDA boy water polo team fundraising chair. “Pool rental is our largest expense. This is our first event at Tower 13. We are excited to partner with them and are grateful for their support.” Echophonic will take the stage at 8 p.m. and rock the crowd until 11 p.m. They perform classic rock favorites with a touch of the blues, as well as a selection of newer favorites. Echophonic’s powerful and soulful female lead vocals mix with male lead and backup vocals, creating a unique sound and

dynamic performance that’s sure to bring the crowd to their feet. Formed in 2010 by members of various local San Diego classic rock and blues bands, Echophonic regularly performs at events all around San Diego County. “We are so excited to have such wonderful athletes and coaches at SDA, and appreciate an extraordinary group of supportive parents,” said Sharon Conger, a boys water polo team parent. “Our unique program not only builds strong athletes, but also encourages strong character development through community service. “We really appreciate Tower 13’s generosity and are looking forward to a great night of food, music and fun with Echophonic.” Valet parking is complimentary.

It was a marvel of scientific work,”

Perkins said. As a historian, he can appreciate what the difficult decision to use the bomb meant —“The result was the war ended early.” More troops were scheduled to invade Japan that fall and the Hiroshima bombing meant 500,000 to 700,000 lives were saved, he said. The bombing allowed the emperor to say that Japan must surrender because the enemy had an “overwhelming weapon.” “The most important thing was between two to three million Japanese people were saved by ending the war early,” Perkins said. “More cities would have been destroyed by bombs.”

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/.

CULATION FOR THE CITY OF SOLANA BEACH AND THE COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO AND THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, Petitioner Case No. 37-2016-00030246-CU-PTCTL VERIFIED PETITION OF THE SOLANA BEACH SUN TO ESTABLISH AND ASCERTAIN ITS STANDING AS A NEWSPAPER OF GENERAL CIRCULATION FOR THE CITY OF SOLANA BEACH AND COUNTY OF SAN DIEGO AND STATE OF CALIFORNIA PURSUANT TO CALIFORNIA (Gov’t Code §6008 et. seq.) Date: Time: Dept: Petitioner the SOLANA BEACH SUN, a newspaper owned and operated by The San Diego Union-Tribune, LLC, alleges as follows: 1. Petitioner the SOLANA BEACH SUN, is a newspaper owned and operated by The San Diego Union-Tribune, LLC, a California limited liability company. Petitioner’s Publisher is Phyllis Pfeiffer. 2. On or about November 28, 1996, the SOLANA BEACH SUN was established as a newspaper, with its principal office located at 380 Stevens Avenue, Suite 316, Solana Beach, California, 92075. The SOLANA BEACH SUN was established as, and continues to be, a newspaper that publishes local or telegraphic news and intelligence of a general character, and has for the last 19 years. It is published every Thursday, and is disseminated in the City of Solana Beach and County of San Diego and State of California. 3. At all times since it was established, the SOLANA BEACH SUN has continued to have a bona fide subscription list of paying subscribers. For more than three years prior to this Petition, it has had a bona fide and substantial subscription list that averages weekly paid circulation of 78 subscribers in the City of Solana Beach, County of San Diego, State of California. It has an average weekly audited circulation of 4,500 in the City of Solana Beach and County of San Diego and State of California. It is the most widely distributed newspaper in the City of Solana Beach, County of San Diego. 4. For at least the last five years to the present, the SOLANA BEACH SUN has continued to be established and published at regular intervals of not less than weekly, in the City of Solana Beach and County of San Diego and the State of California, as it is published every Thursday. 5. At all times since it was established to the present, the SOLANA BEACH SUN has published and disseminated local or telegraphic news and intelligence of a general character in the City of Solana Beach and the County of San Diego and the State of California every Thursday of not less than 25 percent of its total inches (and in fact, in excess of 35 percent of its total inches). 6. At all times since it was established, the SOLANA BEACH SUN has continued to be published and disseminated from its principal office in the City of Solana Beach and County of San Diego in the State of California, without any substantial change in the character of the newspaper or its identity as a newspaper of general circulation. At all times since it was established, to the present, the SOLANA BEACH SUN continues to maintain its one principal office in the City of Solana Beach and the County of San Diego, which is located at 380 Stevens Avenue, Suite 316, Solana Beach, California, 92075. 7. Accordingly, for more than the last three years to present, the SOLANA BEACH SUN has been established, published, and disseminated pursuant to California Government Code section 6008 et. seq. in the City of Solana Beach and the County of San Diego and the State of California, and it now seeks to establish and ascertain its standing as a newspaper of general circulation for the City of Solana Beach and the County of San Diego and the State of California. 8.

cation of the SOLANA BEACH SUN as a newspaper of general circulation for the City of Solana Beach and County of San Diego and State of California. 9. The SOLANA BEACH SUN is not aware of any other newspapers adjudicated for the City of Solana Beach, California, and the list of adjudicated newspapers obtained from the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Diego, in August 2016 does not identify any newspapers adjudicated for the City of Solana Beach, California. //// //// PRAYER WHEREFORE, Petitioner SOLANA BEACH SUN respectfully prays that this Court issue an order adjudging and decreeing that the SOLANA BEACH SUN is a newspaper of general circulation pursuant to Government Code sections 6008 et. seq. for purposes of legal adjudication for the City of Solana Beach and County of San Diego and State of California.
