TOP 10 STORIES OF 2014 For the City of Del Mar

For the City of Solana Beach

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although Del Mar may be the county’s smallest city, it wasn’t short on stories in 2014. Here’s a look back on this community’s top 10 stories of the year.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK From holding a special election to welcoming a new council, Solana Beach has been busy in 2014. Here’s a look back on this community’s top 10 stories of the year.

DEL MAR HONORS FORMER MAYOR LOU TERRELL The council honored former Mayor Lou Terrell with a special proclamation at its Jan. 21 meeting. Terrell, 75, died Jan. 3 when he was struck and killed by a train near Powerhouse Park while chasing his dog across the tracks. The council declared Jan. 21 “Remembering Lou Terrell Day” in the city of Del Mar. A longtime Del Mar resident, Terrell served as mayor and councilman in the 1980s.

PROPOSITION B PASSES After more than two years of debate between Solana Beach residents who wanted to rent Fletcher Cove Community Center for private events and community members who feared adverse impacts from parties, voters narrowly approved a measure that eased restrictions on private functions at the facility during a special election Feb. 11. Proposition B was adopted by nearly 51 percent of voters, with 1,947 “Yes” votes and 1,875 “No” votes.

CITY BANS E-CIGARETTE USE The council on April 7 amended the city’s existing smoking ordinance to prohibit e-cigarettes in all public places where smoking is banned. Ecigarettes are battery-powered devices that simulate tobacco smoking, but do not contain tobacco. Users inhale vaporized liquid that may or may not contain nicotine and can include a variety of flavors. CITY AGREES TO WASTEWATER SWITCH In a unanimous vote, the council on July 7 approved an agreement that will send most of Del Mar’s wastewater through Solana Beach to the San Elijo Water Reclamation Facility in Cardiff, a move that could save the city about $23,000 a year — potentially more in the long-term. Cur

CITY BANS E-CIGARETTES USE, RESTRICTS SALES The council on Feb. 12 amended the city’s existing smoking ordinance to prohibit e-cigarettes, and similar devices, in all public places where smoking is banned. Three months later, the council revisited the issue to require vendors to obtain an annual retail license. In a 5-0 vote, the council on May 28 agreed that retailers of electronic smoking devices should hold the same license tobacco retailers in the city are required to obtain. CITY WELCOMES DOGS ON BEACH The city invited man’s best friend to enjoy some of its sandy shores

ONE PASEO It appears the San Diego City Council is finally going to make a decision on One Paseo, the mixed-use center proposed for the last big parcel of land remaining in Carmel Valley. The meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 27, and could be a night meeting to allow more people to attend. In the community plan, the space at Del Mar Heights Road and Carmel Valley Road was slated to be just 510,000 square feet of office space. The City Council will be tasked with deciding on whether to allow Kilroy Realty to build more than what it is entitled to do. After six years of planning and community input, Kilroy believes its project is a lot better than where it started, and will provide a “heart for Carmel Valley.” What Price Main Street, a coalition of 5,000 community See CARMEL VALLEY, Page 20

New high school district trustee hits ground running • Maureen Muir says her goal is to help more children get into college BY JOE TASH After serving on the Encinitas Union School District board for six years, Maureen “Mo” Muir felt it would be a natural progression to move up to the board that oversees middle and high schools in coastal North County. Muir, the wife of Encinitas City Councilman Mark Muir, declared her candidacy for the San Dieguito Union High School District board and never really looked back. On Nov. 4, in a crowded field of seven candidates for three seats — including three incumbents seeking re-election — Muir was the top vote-getter, defeating 16-year trustee Barbara Groth. Muir credited her strong showing to the name recognition from being married to a councilman and former Encinitas fire chief, as well as her campaign’s message of helping children succeed, whether by going to college or another career path. “I think what I said resonated with people,” Muir said in a Dec. 19 interview, a week after being sworn in for a four-year term on the San Dieguito board, which oversees a district with four high schools, four middle schools and a continuation high school. “People have asked me why I ran and why I ran so hard,” said Muir, and the reason stems from her childhood in Wisconsin, as one of nine siblings raised by a single mom. “My mom, her dream was for every kid to go to college and make something” of

him- or herself, she said, “and it really had an impact on me.” During her campaign, Muir was also critical of the school district on a number of counts, including fiscal accountability, lack of transparency and failing to be responsive to parents and students. When asked about ways that she might seek to shift spending priorities, she mentioned a consultant for a committee that is studying the district’s boundary policies, who she said is being paid $350 per hour. But she also noted that as a brand-new trustee, she will have to wait until the board holds its budget deliberations in the coming months before forming opinions on district spending. She met with the district’s chief financial officer to begin to educate herself on financial issues, and plans a tour of district schools and meetings with school foundation officials, and representatives of parentteacher organizations. The purpose, she said, is “finding how I can best serve them, to help them get kids into college.” She is also planning to have coffee with board president Beth Hergesheimer, who reached out to Muir after her election victory. Muir, who was endorsed by the San Diego County Republican Party along with newly re-elected trustee John Salazar, said time will tell whether differences of opinions on the board result in split votes. While she said she knows Salazar well, and that

Maureen Muir “We’re both fiscally conservative people,” she rejected comments made by Groth at her final board meeting in November. At that time, Groth said the new board would have “two politically-motivated board members,” in an apparent reference to Muir and Salazar. Muir said she has long been involved in children’s and education issues, from serving on the elementary school board and writing grants for school funding, to volunteering on the county’s First Five Commission,

which focuses on programs for children from birth through age 5. “I don’t know how you can misconstrue that as being political,” Muir said. “If you met me, you’d realize I’m passionate about education and kids. I don’t know where that came from.” After a week on the job as a San Dieguito trustee, Muir said she is looking forward to discussions on a number of topics, from the district budget to the findings of a committee set up to look at boundary policies. She also praised Superintendent Rick Schmitt for his communications efforts, and his handling of lockdowns in November at Torrey Pines and Canyon Crest high schools, after online threats. Schmitt calls board members once a week to update them on things going on at the district, and he also puts out his own schedule each week. “That’s great,” she said. When she heard about the lockdowns, Muir said, she called Schmitt, who answered on the first ring. The superintendent gave her a quick briefing, and promised to call back once the situation had stabilized, which he did. Schmitt immediately went to Torrey Pines to deal with the situation. “I thought it was handled really well,” Muir said.

New Del Mar Mayor’s key goal is to ‘help the city move forward’ BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although Al Corti is Del Mar’s new mayor, there’s only one thing on his agenda: Help the city move forward. “I didn’t come into the council with an agenda,” said Corti, who was appointed the city’s new mayor in a unanimous vote of the council during the Dec. 2 meeting. “I came on to find out the agenda of the city, what we’re trying to accomplish, and then help get us there.” A Del Mar resident for more than two decades, Corti was first elected to the council in 2012. He served as deputy mayor throughout the last year, and replaces retiring Mayor Lee Haydu. This is his first term as mayor, a position that rotates among council members. Reflecting on his first two years on the council, Corti said he is proud that Del Mar adopted and implemented a sidewalk improvement plan, developed a 30-year projection of the city’s financial health, and paid off a $3 million side fund pension liability using the city’s general fund and water fund reserves, among other accomplishments. “I’m proud when Del Mar makes progress,” said Corti, who moved to Del Mar in 1990. As the city’s new mayor, Corti hopes to help move along other pending projects, including plans for a new city hall. The council on Dec. 15 unanimously agreed to hire a consultant to help the city hold an advisory vote. Hiring a consultant is the city’s latest step in the city hall planning process, which Del Mar initiated in June 2013. Since then, the council has discussed the project at a number of council meetings, issued a citywide survey and held three public workshops. “We desperately need a new facility,” Corti said. “Our employees are working in deplorable conditions. I don’t think that’s right. I feel it’s an obligation we should fix that.” Besides moving forward with plans for a new city hall, Corti also looks forward to collaborating on a master plan for Del Mar Shores Park and completing sidewalk improvements along Jimmy Durante Boulevard.

Client Success in 2014!

Al Corti Courtesy photo “In Del Mar, a lot of times, things don’t necessarily progress,” Corti said. “We study things, we evaluate them, we listen to everybody’s opinions, and then nothing gets done. We need to figure out what we really want to accomplish, how we get there and do it together. That’s my agenda.” In addition, Corti wants to tackle other short-term objectives and long-term problems. From undergrounding utilities, to finding a permanent home for the Alvarado House, there are several issues that have

gone without solutions for years, he said. “I didn’t come here with an agenda, but let’s figure out what we want to do,” Corti said. “If we can get together and put our minds together, I’m sure we can come up with a solution. These decisions don’t have to be monumental.” A New York native, Corti moved west to Los Angeles in 1977 and then to San Diego in 1982. His construction management background led him to a long executive career with the Hahn Company, a major developer of regional malls in the U.S. and Canada. In 1995, Corti established his own development and consulting company specializing in the development and redevelopment of major retail projects in California. With his background in development, Corti looked where he could use his skills to benefit the community after his semi-retirement in 2005. He became active in the community prior to the Del Mar Village Specific Plan vote. “I wanted to bring a different perspec-

tive to the city in the decision-making process,” said Corti, who still works as a consultant. Although voters rejected the revitalization plan in November 2012, getting involved in the effort prompted Corti to get even more involved in the city. Prior to running for council, he served as a member of the Design Review Board, Form Based Code Committee, and Traffic and Parking Advisory Committee. “I continued to get more involved in the city,” Corti recalled. “I volunteered anywhere I thought I could lend my expertise to the community I lived in. The next thing you know, you’re running for election. And somehow, in Del Mar, you get elected.” When not preparing for or attending council meetings, Corti is often spending time with his two grown children and three grandchildren, golfing, or otherwise enjoying the community. “This is an exciting time in Del Mar,” Corti said. “I’m grateful for this opportunity to serve and give back to the city.”

Third-time Mayor Lesa Heebner eager to enhance city while maintaining community character •Public input on city projects, issues encouraged, Heebner says BY KRISTINA HOUCK When Thomas Campbell recently retired from the City Council after 20 years of service to Solana Beach, Lesa Heebner became the city’s elected official with the oldest resume. “Tom’s been the anchor,” Heebner said. “Now he’s going and I’m the ‘elder’ — in all senses of the word — and I have to hold down the fort.” A Solana Beach resident since 1976, Heebner was first elected to the council in 2004. She served as mayor in 2007 and 2011, a position that rotates among council members. After the community honored outgoing mayor Campbell during his last council meeting Dec. 10, council members appointed Heebner, then deputy mayor, to her third mayoral term. “If I look at my professions over the years, it was always about security and home,” said Heebner regarding her role on the council and position as mayor. “I visualize this as an expanded definition of ‘home.’ I’m really just caring for my home in a bigger sense.” Born and raised in North Hollywood, as a child Heebner often vacationed in Carlsbad and visited North County San Diego. “I just loved it here,” she recalled. “I knew, as soon as I could, this was going to be my home.” After high school, Heebner attended UC San Diego, where she earned her bachelor’s degree in history with minors in communications and economics. Shortly after graduating in 1980, she began her career as a stockbroker with E. F. Hutton & Co. In 1987, Heebner opened a culinary and kitchen design business. From teaching cooking classes and designing kitchens, to writing books and making television appearances, Heebner’s Garlic & Sapphires flourished until her retirement in 2008. With a passion for healthy living, Heebner often ran along the Coastal Rail Trail, prompting her involvement in the community. She led the grassroots effort to redesign

Lesa Heebner Photo by Kristina Houck the trail, working alongside other community members, including local landscape architect and now Councilman Mike Nichols on the project. Construction of the Coastal Rail Trail was completed in September 2004. In July, the council approved a onetime plant replacement project along the city’s 1.7-mile segment of the trail, a path from San Diego to Oceanside. “I love it, I’m proud of it and I’m so glad we’re replanting it,” said Heebner, who also served on the Solana Beach View Assessment Committee before she was first elected to the council in 2004. Reflecting on her first decade on the council, Heebner said she is proud the city successfully redesigned the Coastal Rail Trail and renovated Coast Highway 101. The $7 million project revitalized about a one-mile stretch of road from Cliff Street to Dahlia Drive. Completed last year, the project features narrowed lanes, continuous sidewalks, curb extensions and mid-block crosswalks.

“It had been a vision since incorporation,” she said. She is also proud of the council’s recent vote to accept the Gateway property as a conservation easement from the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy, forever protecting the parcel as open space. “That was decades in the doing,” Heebner said. “So many people worked so hard to secure that as open space for generations.” With the growth of the economy and the improvements of the 101, the city has received a number of residential and commercial development applications, Heebner said. In the next year, the council could look at several potential development projects, including American Assets Trust’s proposal to overhaul the former mobile home park on Highway 101, as well as H.G. Fenton’s plans to redevelop an apartment complex on Nardo Avenue. No matter how many proposals the council considers, however, it’s important to Heebner to maintain the community’s character. “We’re finally headed up again, and we’re going to see a lot more development everywhere,” Heebner said. “But we all bought into this place the way it is.” In addition to looking at potential development projects, Heebner hopes to move forward with a Local Implementation Plan, or LIP, now that the city has an adopted Land Use Plan. An LIP consists of implementing zoning ordinances and maps. She would also like to see other phased improvements at La Colonia Park and Community Center, in addition to the Veterans Honor Courtyard. With all that lies ahead, Heebner encouraged community members to stay involved or become involved in the decision-making process. Hearing from the public, she said, is her favorite part of the job. “I think it’s super important to do that — to listen,” Heebner said. “So when I’m out and about, I always ask questions. “It’s just really an honor. It really is an honor and a privilege to be in this position.”

Some gifts are worth waiting for. San Diego’s pre-eminent coastal community deserves a stylish, stimulating place with entertainment, shopping, dining and living that celebrates our California lifestyle.

From beloved T-shirts, quilter creates blanket of memories BY SAMANTHA TATRO Many of us have lots of old T-shirts that we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t wear anymore, but we canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bear to part with. One local resident knows how to put those shirts to good use. Misty Johnson takes old T-shirts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; often representing beloved memories â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and stitches them into quilts. After her son, Carter Johnson, spent his childhood playing competitive sports, Johnson was left with piles of team shirts. On the one hand, she wanted to keep them. On the other hand, she wanted to throw them away. She compromised and put them together into her first memory quilt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To me, it was easy to do,â&#x20AC;? said Johnson, who started sewing at age 10. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I came upon it because my son had all these shirts, and I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get rid of one thing.â&#x20AC;? After that, word of mouth spread, and now Johnson is coming up on 15 years doing the quilts. Even after her son graduated from high school and moved to San Jose, Johnson kept receiving calls from mothers and fathers in the local sports community and nearby neighborhoods, inquiring about the quilts. (Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s son, Carter, played baseball for Encinitas Little League and La Costa Canyon Varsity before receiving a full scholarship to pitch for the San Jose State University Spartans). â&#x20AC;&#x153;People knew I made the quilts, so they just kept calling me, even though they knew my son was off at college,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. Since the initial quilt, she has sewn more than 60 for occasions such as loved ones passing away, graduations, sports retirements and college memories. One of the first times Johnson strayed from sports-related quilting was a special request from several mothers. A friend of theirs had lost her 23-year-old son to a heroin overdose. The mothers had heard of Johnsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quilts, and they asked her to make one using the young manâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sports jerseys. Johnson didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know the family, but made the quilt. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When she (the mother) was given the quilt, it was the most unbelievable response,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Then I just thought, I want to do more of these for others to be able to

share that remembrance of their loved ones.â&#x20AC;? Another customer saw her working on a quilt and asked about it. She told Johnson she and her husband still had fraternity and sorority clothing from college. Johnson made their shirts into a quilt that the customer gave to her husband for Fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day. Now, her children ask about the Greek letters and the events on the shirts. In 2015, Johnson said, sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s looking to sew a quilt a week. She asks potential clients to bring in all the shirts they want to have stitched into the quilt. She then assesses how big or small the quilt can be. Often, older shirts may have holes or stains. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s OK, Johnson said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like to maintain rip holes and stains because theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not supposed to be perfect,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re supposed to be a memory.â&#x20AC;? Many families have piles of old T-shirts or sports jerseys in their closets. Johnson said her quilts are a unique way to preserve those memories. See QUILTER, page 20

Village Mill rises to occasion with new Del Mar Highlands store • New site marks 20th year in baking business for couple

BY KAREN BILLING Village Mill Bread Company has been a part of the Carmel Valley community for more than 19 years, specializing in fresh and friendly. The bakery’s owners, the joyful husband and wife team of Parker and Sandra Pike, will celebrate their 20-year anniversary in Del Mar Highlands Town Center in 2015 in their brand-new location between Jamba Juice and GameStop. “This is the most fun we’ve ever had,” Parker said. In the past six weeks since their move from a site near the former Barnes & Noble, they have seen increased foot traffic. New customers are just finding out what they’re all about, and the old customers express great happiness in finding them again. “I have customers come in who I’ve known forever, sharing their stories with us,” Sandra said. “If we were in it for the money, we would have left long ago, but that’s not what it’s about. It’s about the community … the children that came in as little ones eating sugar cookies who now come in and apply for a job.” In the morning hours, Sandra has her “moms” manning the shop; but in the afternoons, she has her teens whom she loves like they’re her own. She’s sad when they go off to college, but proud she was able to help them learn about customer service and watch them take great care in their work, whether it’s packaging loaves or carefully decorating a sugar cookie. Opening a bakery was a dream that Sandra didn’t know she had. After being recruited for a job in Wisconsin, she moved there from San Diego. When her brother came for a visit, she took him on a tour of her town. Without realizing it, she had taken him to eight different bakeries, telling him what each did well, what each could improve. Her brother gave her a valuable tip: “You should be doing this.” When she returned to San Diego, she started scouting places and met Parker, who would become her partner in business and marriage for the next 19 years. “I kind of knew what she was getting into,” said Parker, who has a background in marketing and who has also taught marketing at UC San Diego Extension for the past 28 years. “You couldn’t stop me, could you?” Sandra asked. Working side by side all these years, they have a playful and loving rapport. Each jokingly claims to be the boss — Sandra says Parker is the creative one, and she’s the one who always has to rein him in. While the bakery has become a part of their marriage, they have sworn not to talk business when they’re at home. Parker has lived in Carmel Valley for 30 years and the couple now live in a place just six blocks from the bakery. While they don’t come in as early as the baking crew that arrives at 10 p.m. and bakes into the morning, they spend about 16 to 18 hours a day at Village Mill.

Parker and Sandra Pike show off their challah bread as well as a variety of holiday cookies (dreidels, snowmen and trees). The Pikes have been in Del Mar Highlands for almost 20 years.

An anonymous angel unites hearts on Christmas Eve •An orphan puppy and an adopting family receive a surprise gift…

Haggen to buy 25 San Diego supermarkets, including Albertsons on Via de la Valle

This year, Christmas has come one day early for an unsuspecting adopting family and a cuddly pup at Helen Woodward Animal Center in Rancho Santa Fe. An anonymous donor surprised the family with a very special holiday gift, covering the cost of all adoption fees. Center staff was asked to tell the family that an angel had taken care of the union and to wish them a Merry Christmas. The donor, who had suffered the loss of a beloved family member and a cherished dog within the year, stopped by the Helen Woodward Animal Center adoptions building early one recent morning before business hours. In the midst of such sadness, the individual, who asked to remain anonymous, hoped to give life and happiness to an orphan pet and a hopeful family. The only request placed on the donation was that the family had young children who had always wanted a puppy. The Saxten family from Encinitas fit that description to a tee. Parents Sarah and Graham said that their sons Jonah (age 7) and Wyatt (age 5) had wanted a dog for years. Informed that the

BY KATHERINE P. HARVEY, SPECIAL TO THE DM TIMES, CV NEWS, AND SB SUN The Washington state-based grocery chain Haggen Inc. plans to buy 146 Albertsons and Safeway stores in Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada and Arizona, including 25 in San Diego County. In the deal, Haggen Food & Pharmacy would acquire 17 Albertsons stores and eight Safeway-owned Vons stores in the San Diego area. The list includes the Albertsons on Via de la Valle. The Bellingham Herald reports the sales are required under the federal review of Safeway’s sale to an investment group that owns Albertsons. If Haggen’s plans get Federal Trade Commission approval, the Bellingham-based company would expand from 18 stores and 16 pharmacies in the Northwest to 164 stores and 106 pharmacies in the five states. Details of the deal haven’t been released, but it is expected to close in early 2015. Haggen then expects to convert all of the acquired stores to its own banner in phases during the first half of the year. The employees at the purchased stores will be given the option to become Haggen employees as their individual stores make the transition, the company said. “We warmly welcome these new employees and stores into the Haggen family,” said John Clougher, one of the company’s two CEOs. “We want to retain these existing teams while allowing our growing company to build on their past successes.” Haggen has been in business for more than 80 years, according to its website, and puts heavy emphasis on supporting local farms, fisheries and other suppliers. This is the largest of several sales related to the $7.6 billion sale of Safeway to investors led by Cerberus Capital Management. Associated Food Stores is buying eight stores in Montana and Wyoming, Associated Wholesale Grocers is purchasing 12 stores in Texas, and Supervalu is buying two Albertsons stores in Everett and Woodinville, Washington.

boys could look at the Helen Woodward Animal Center website to see if there was a dog they would like for Christmas, the boys picked out Dasher, a female Labrador Retriever puppy. “We all fell in love with her immediately,” explained Sarah. “We dashed down here for Dasher.” The family was incredibly touched and surprised when they were informed that Dasher’s adoption fee had been covered by the anonymous angel. Unable to thank their donor, the family gave the hugs and love to their new puppy instead. Jonah Saxten explained it simply. “Best Christmas present ever!” “I think this individual just really wanted to know that there would be a family and an orphan pet enjoying their Christmas morning together,” stated Helen Woodward Animal Services Manager Ed Farrel-

Christmas tree recycling tips; locations available in Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Solana Beach

BY KAREN BILLING This year, after the presents are opened and the ornaments are removed from the oncesparkling Christmas tree, Waste Management of North County and Coast Waste Management invite residents to recycle their tree. “Christmas trees can do more than brighten the hearts of children this holiday season,” said Lori Somers of Waste Management. “Trees can be recycled and given back to nature in the form of mulch.” Residential customers may conveniently recycle their trees curbside as follows: Del Mar: Tree pick up will begin on resident’s normally scheduled collection day Dec. 26 through Saturday, Jan. 10 with tree drop off at the Public Works yard 2240 Jimmy Durante Blvd through Jan. 10. For the weeks of Dec. 22 and Dec. 29, collection will be delayed one day for customers normally serviced on Thursday or Friday. Solana Beach: Tree pick up will begin on residents’ normally scheduled collection day Dec. 26 through Saturday, Jan. 10 with tree drop locations at 715 Valley Ave., and 635 S. Highway 101. For the weeks of Dec. 22 and Dec. 29, collection will be delayed one day for customers normally serviced on Thursday or Friday. When placing trees for curbside collection, customers should follow these guidelines:

• Remove all decorations, including tinsel, lights, ornaments and tree stands. • Trees taller than six feet must be cut in half and placed next to your green waste cart. • When possible, residents are asked to cut down the tree so that it fits inside the green waste cart, with the lid closed for collection. Please note that flocked trees cannot be recycled and must be disposed of through regular trash service. Flocked trees must fit into the trash cart, with the lid closed for collection. Carmel Valley: For residents with yard waste collection, place trees on the curb on regular greenery recycling pickup day. Trees over 4 feet should be cut in half. Customers using the large, green 96-gallon bin provided by the city should cut their trees to fit into the automated container on collection day. The city of San Diego will host its annual tree recycling program from Dec. 26-Jan. 23 at 16 drop-off locations, including the Carmel Valley Recreation Center’s lower lot. Both green and flocked trees are accepted. All tree stands, lights, ornaments and other decorations should be removed. No artificial trees.

TPHS boys varsity soccer team wins Grossmont Tournament After graduating 14 seniors from the 2013-2014 season, Torrey Pines High School soccer was in what many would consider to be a rebuilding phase and with only three returning starting players there would be a lot of changes and new faces. After losing in last yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s CIF final to Carlsbad, it was important to pick things up quickly and get off to a strong start. The Falcons have set off on a very positive note with 5 wins and 1 tie, which gave them 1st place in the 37th year of the annual Grossmont Tournament (TPHS beat San Dieguito Academy 1-0 to win the finals of the tournament). Players to watch this year include seniors Blake Mcatee and Asher Booth, who is the current leading goal scorer for the unbeaten Falcons, and creative midfielders Jagger Havlik and Eren Esner. Among the talented juniors who are starting for the first time on the varsity roster are midfielders Michael Stewart, Michael Poulos and Greg Mathus. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This team has many tools that past Torrey Pines teams have not had, it is also the most versatile and unpredictable roster of players we have had in my 18 years,â&#x20AC;? said Coach Andy Hargreaves. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This season I am hoping we can really surprise some people. This team plays some of the best technical soccer I have witnessed during my high school coaching years.â&#x20AC;?

included innovation, economic development

BY SUPERVISOR DAVE ROBERTS My second year as Third District Supervisor is drawing to a close, and I am proud of the legislative work we have completed and the relationships I have built. By my estimation, our county government is stronger than ever. I attribute that strength, in large part, to our innovation and our commitment to improve county services, secure economic opportunity, protect our environment and provide top-notch public safety and health services. A particular highlight of 2014 was my election to serve as vice chair of the California State Association of Counties, where I will represent our county among more than 50 others as well as with state and federal policymakers. It was also a great honor to be recognized by the Asian American Business Association as its Member of the Year. Innovation and continuous improvement From Day One, I have made myself accessible to the public. Whenever possible, I use the speed and reach of social media to keep you informed. You can stay in touch on my social media pages and through email. Every week, I publish an electronic newsletter. I have embraced a new social media platform, called Goodsnitch, to allow immediate feedback from constituents. Innovation is improving business practices across county government, as more and more county programs and services are accessible online. Look for my office and the entire county enterprise to continue building upon our culture of innovation in government. The county’s lifeblood is its workforce of more than 17,000 employees. All of our workers should feel safe and supported. Accordingly, my office organized and launched the LGBT and Allies Association, the newest of a half-dozen resource groups that serve our large

to make movies —and support our economy — and government leaders should be the first to make that happen. I applaud Mayor Faulconer and other leaders who are partnering with me on this initiative.

Dave Roberts and diverse workforce.

Economic development I have found great partners in leaders of regional business groups. Working with chambers of commerce and economic development corporations, I have hosted forums to connect small business owners with government purchasing agents, and in March, Supervisor Greg Cox and I brought forward an initiative to expand procurement opportunities for local businesses. Supervisor Bill Horn joined me in legislation to encourage government buyers to “think local” with their purchases, while Supervisor Ron Roberts and I collaborated in February to highlight our booming life sciences industry with a presentation from the Biocom trade group. Tourism fits hand in glove with economic development, and that’s why I have gathered formal support from my colleagues to back bids for San Diego to host the 2017 America’s Cup and the 2024 Summer Olympics. This spring, I will serve as honorary chairman of the national U.S. Police & Fire Championships, which will bring athletic competition and significant visitor spending to the region. Athletes from all 50 states are expected to participate in more than 40 events at nearly three dozen venues across the county. I am also working with Mayor Kevin Faulconer to rebuild the film industry in San Diego County. Motion picture producers should feel welcome to come here

Public safety As we lay plans to innovate and strengthen our economy, public safety will always be my most important charge. In 2014, I remained active with the county’s Prescription Drug Abuse Task Force, and in the spring, I brought a resolution to the Board of Supervisors to declare March as Prescription Drug Abuse Awareness Month. With support from Supervisor Horn, Sheriff Bill Gore, District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis and the Golden Door Spa, I have ensured that the Palomar Forensic Center in Escondido will remain open to provide critical assistance to abused women and children. In May, wildfires swept across the county, and in June, Supervisor Horn and I passed legislation in support of tax relief for survivors. In a related action, I joined with my colleagues to approve the procurement of three firefighting helicopters and to partner with the city of San Diego to allow for nighttime firefighting by air. Health services Public safety and health services often overlap. That’s especially true with health and social service initiatives I have advanced in 2014. Starting in 2013, Supervisor Ron Roberts and I took aim at electronic vapor cigarettes, and with the adoption of legislation in April, “vaping” now faces the same restrictions that regulate tobacco smoking on county property. Switching to mental health, supervisors in March voted unanimously to implement a state policy that allows authorities to extend the amount of time that a severely mentally ill person can be held in custody if the person presents a threat to himself or others. See ROBERTS, page 19

Proposed One Paseo project would jeopardize essence of Carmel Valley/Del Mar village Anyone living, working or participating in the already established village of Carmel Valley hopefully will take a moment to notice the successful educational opportunities, tree-lined streets, open-space parks, public services and vitalized business area. The proposed overly-dense One Paseo development will destroy the very village we have created: nine lanes on Del Mar Heights Rd., increased lanes on side streets, hundreds of destroyed trees, three times allowed density. Is there another street in all of San Diego’s established residential communities that is nine lanes wide? What long-time San Diego residential community has this high uncontrolled density? Added daily traffic will bring overly congested roads, freeways and frequent traffic jams, delaying travel, slowing emergency response times, increasing fumes into the air. The essential core values, the very essence of our Carmel Valley/Del Mar village, which make this area unique, will be jeopardized. Community planning will also be jeopardized if One Paseo is built. Hundreds of long-term San Diego citizens from Del Mar Heights along with neighbors from adjacent cities participated in community planning for this area: years of meetings, thousands of hours to develop a community plan that would serve the needs of the residents, providing schools, preserving the environment and public safety. The Del Mar Heights fire station was re-located to east Del Mar Heights Rd. with assurances that residents west of I-5 would continue receiving services in the same timely manner when it was blocks from their homes. To assure that these essential community elements were met, density became the defining foundation of our community. The San Diego Planning Commission agreed and assisted in developing the existing community plan with density limits. The years of debate, compromise, and consensus building contributed by caring citizens and planning groups must not be sacrificed to meet the self interest of one aggressive developer. If One Paseo’s three times allowed density is approved the community plan will be shattered and we can look forward to a future of insensitive, uncontrolled development, not community planning. We must Stop One Paseo now. Eileen Huffman Del Mar Heights

rently, the city’s approximately 600,000 gallons of wastewater per day is treated by the city of San Diego, which costs about $778,700 annually. DEL MAR MOVES FORWARD WITH PLAN FOR SHORES PROPERTY Seven years after deciding to purchase Del Mar Shores Park, the city is another step closer to establishing a plan for the site. The council on Oct. 6 awarded a $150,000 contract to Schmidt Design Group to produce a park master plan. In August 2007, the council voted to buy the $8.5 million property from the school district, with the intent to preserve open space and recreational uses, continue operating The Winston School, and initiate a master plan process. The long-range plan will guide the development of the 5.3-acre park along Camino del Mar. COMMUNITY CELEBRATES LIBRARY’S CENTENNIAL Community members gathered Nov. 1 to celebrate Del Mar Library’s centennial, along with the 100-year anniversary of its building. The Del Mar Library was established in 1914. That same year, just a few blocks away, St. James Catholic Church opened its doors. The two institutions eventually came together in 1996, when the library found its permanent home in the former church building at 1309 Camino del Mar. COMMUNITY BIDS FAREWELL TO HAYDU, WELCOMES NEW COUNCIL The community honored outgoing Mayor Lee Haydu during her last council meeting Dec. 2. A Del Mar resident for more than 30 years, Haydu was elected to the council in 2010. Following the ceremony, Councilman Terry Sinnott was sworn into his second term and Dwight Worden began his first. Rather than hold a fall election, the council appointed Sinnott and Worden — the only two candidates for two seats — during a special meeting Aug. 20. COUNCIL APPOINTS AL CORTI AS MAYOR In a unanimous vote, council members on Dec. 2 appointed Al Corti as the city’s

mayor and Councilwoman Sherryl Parks as deputy mayor. Having served as deputy mayor throughout the last year, Corti replaced retiring Mayor Lee Haydu. A Del Mar resident for more than two decades, Corti was elected to the council in 2012. This is his first term as mayor, a position that rotates among council members. DEL MAR SUSPENDS, RESUMES BODY CAMERA PROGRAM With new guidelines in place, Del Mar’s park ranger resumed wearing a body camera mid-December. Although the ranger has used a camera since 2012, the city temporarily discontinued its program in September. The suspension of the program followed the release of a video that captured a reserve sheriff’s deputy’s angry reaction when he was pulled over by the ranger for using a cellphone while driving. DEL MAR HIRES CONSULTANT TO ASSIST WITH ADVISORY VOTE ON CITY HALL Del Mar voters could cast a ballot on their choice for a new city hall as early as February. The council on Dec. 15 unanimously agreed to hire a consultant to help the city hold an advisory vote. Although not a formal ballot measure, it is more secure than a survey and more cost-effective than a special election, city officials said. Hiring a consultant is the city’s latest step in the city hall planning process, which Del Mar initiated in June 2013. Since then, the council has discussed the project at a number of council meetings, issued a citywide survey and held three public workshops. CITY ISSUES CITIZEN SATISFACTION SURVEY Del Mar residents can share their thoughts on city services through a survey that was open until Dec. 31. The city launched the survey in November, after the council approved the seven-page, online questionnaire during the Oct. 20 meeting. The council will review the results in early 2015. The city last conducted a survey in 2006.

To counter domestic violence, I have partnered with nonprofit service providers and top law enforcement officials to formulate an action plan that draws upon data to build capacity within our systems to prevent, intervene and ultimately save lives. Also in the health arena, Supervisor Dianne Jacob and I have launched The Alzheimer’s Project to fight the disease and provide stronger support for caregivers. The project has brought together San Diego’s top researchers, care experts and others to examine ways to accelerate the search for a cure, improve clinical care, expand caregiver support and boost public awareness. As the adoptive parent of six children, social services become personal for me with foster care and adoptions. On this front, we have made great progress. In partnership with Supervisor Greg Cox, we are working to streamline the adoptions process and make it easier to place foster children with forever families. This year we launched a very successful Exceptional Families Adoption Campaign, which focuses on hard-to-place foster children.

Energy and the environment One of our greatest as-

continued from page 18

sets is our physical environment and the great natural beauty that surrounds us. All of us can protect the environment by using less water and power. To do my part, I removed 6,400 square feet of lawn from my home in Solana Beach and replaced it with artificial turf. Over the course of a year, that will translate into 264,000 gallons of water saved. I am proud to represent the county on the San Diego County Water Authority’s Board of Directors, and in that role, I inspected the major water infrastructure of our state and have carried a message of water conservation as we face a severe drought. In July, a long and important collaboration with Supervisor Jacob came to fruition: Property Assessed Clean Energy, or PACE, which allows property owners to finance energy- or water-efficiency improvements through payments on their property tax bills. PACE is responsible for hundreds of new jobs throughout the region. Earlier, in April, Supervisor Jacob and I received a unanimous vote — with support from the Building Industry Association — to incorporate “green building codes” into our policies so new structures would be pre-wired for solar panels and electric vehicle charging. And in October, on a

5-0 vote, the Board of Supervisors approved my proposal to expand the resources available to developers applying for complex land-use permits. Elsewhere, the San Dieguito River Park keeps getting better, and as chairman of the river park’s Board of Directors, I take great pleasure in continuing to improve this regional asset. In 2014, an outdoor education center opened in the park, thanks in large part to a Third District Neighborhood Reinvestment Program Grant. A separate grant will expand the park’s trail system in Del Mar. I appreciate the votes of my colleagues to approve my Neighborhood Reinvestment Program recommendations. Just this month, I joined Supervisor Ron Roberts to unveil a dozen electric vehicle chargers in the parking garage at the County Administration Center. For the year ahead, we plan to open 10 other charging stations at county facilities across the region. I love my job and couldn’t do the work at the county without the support of my four colleagues and the help of my dedicated team. We look forward to serving you in 2015! Dave Roberts represents the Third District on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

members who oppose One Paseo, is gearing up for the final fight, hoping to “Save Carmel Valley.” The group opposes the proposed bulk and scale of the buildings and the traffic the project will create. THE LONG-AWAITED PARK FOR PACIFIC HIGHLANDS RANCH KIDS Solana Ranch Park is due to open in 2015, next to Solana Ranch School. The playground sets are up, grass is beginning to sprout and fledgling trees have been planted to create a tree-lined promenade. The five-acre park, designed by residents, will feature a tree-lined promenade, a large community gathering space, a picnic area, comfort station, tot lots, grassy amphitheatre space, a half basketball court, playing field space and a walking loop of about a quarter mile. The first Pacific Highlands Ranch residents have been waiting for years to have a place for their children to play besides the street, and this new park will be a welcome addition to the neighborhood. The park space will be in demand, as PHR will continue to grow in 2015. Rancho del Sol, a development of 96 affordable housing units on Carmel Valley Road just east of Santa Fe Farms Road (which is seeing its own expansion), is expected to begin construction in January 2015. Construction on Unit 13, a development of 276 market-rate units and 197 affordable housing units on Carmel Valley Road, next to Canyon Crest Academy, is also expected to begin in early 2015. San Dieguito Union High School District will open up its new middle school, Pacific Trails, in fall 2015 and Del Mar Union School District will begin the process of making room for the influx of new families by moving its Early Childhood Development Center at Sycamore Ridge to Torrey Hills School, freeing classroom space for new students.

QUILTER

BETTER PARKING AT DEL MAR HIGHLANDS Del Mar Highlands Town Center is still in a substantial conformance review process for a new parking garage at the center, but management hopes to start construction in the late first quarter of 2015. The center has become a victim of its own success, with the many restaurants and shops often filled with customers, causing others to circle in search for a parking space. Plans were unveiled for the new structure in 2014, a net gain of 600 parking stalls in a three-level garage in the hole behind the center on Townsgate Drive. Because of the elevation change between the center and the road, it won’t look like a parking garage because it will be at grade and enhanced with plantings. Plans for expansion at Del Mar Highlands also include the growth of the Cinepolis movie theaters from an eight- to an 11plex, and a new facility for Kinder Care. Once that round of construction is complete, Kinder Care will move into its new location and the center is looking at an expanded Jimbo’s in its place. In the former Barnes & Noble area, they plan to renovate and pick up about 80,000 square feet of new retail on two levels. After all the enhancements, the center will still have 62,000 square feet to consider for a future time. PLASTIC BAGS GOING EXTINCT In September 2014, California became the first state in the country to ban plastic bags. The new law goes into effect for large grocery chains and pharmacies beginning July 1, 2015. It extends to convenience stores and liquor stores the following year. Stores will be required to charge 10 cents each for paper bags. To ready for the ban, start collecting your change now or load up on reusable bags.

“What people tend to do is, they have their kids’ shirts from years of competitive sports and they don’t know what to do with them,” Johnson said. “But they don’t want to throw them away.” That’s where she comes in: Working at a pingpong table in her garage, with her dogs at her feet, she pieces the shirts into quilts that families keep for years to come. The quilts run from $200 to $300. Typically, she said, a twin quilt with backing would run around $200. “They’re great conversation pieces,” Johnson said. “I would love to make one for everyone out there that was going through a transition.” To order a quilt, contact Johnson at misty820@aol.com.

this summer. The council voted unanimously on May 28 to allow leashed dogs on the beaches north of Tide Park and south of Del Mar Shores, as long as the dogs are on a leash no longer than 6 feet and as long as owners clean up after them. EARL WARREN MIDDLE SCHOOL GETS NEW LOOK San Dieguito Union High School District kicked off the first phase of its complete reconstruction of Earl Warren Middle School in August. The $41 million overhaul of the 60 year-old-school is made possible by the passage of Proposition AA. Construction is expected to be complete in fall 2017. DEL MAR SHORES ACCESS STAIRWAY OFFICIALLY REOPENS Although the structure has been open to the public since early October, city officials held a ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the replacement of the Del Mar Shores access stairway Nov. 12. Funded by nearby property owners, the staircase was built in the 1970s and deeded to Solana Beach after it became a city in 1986. The deteriorating stairway was deemed unsafe and closed indefinitely in November 2012. Construction of the new structure, a $1.1 million project, began at the start of the year. OFFICIALS BREAK GROUND ON VETERANS HONOR COURTYARD Following Solana Beach’s annual Veterans Day ceremony, city and county officials broke ground on a courtyard that will honor past, present and future services members every day. Located at La Colonia Park, the Veterans Honor Courtyard will feature a stone veneer wall with military seals behind a reflecting pool, honoring all U.S. veterans, living and deceased, as well as those who are serving at home and abroad. The $200,000 project is funded by city and county grants, as well as private donations. GATEWAY PROPERTY BECOMES PART OF CITY’S CONSERVATION LEGACY In a unanimous vote, the council on Nov. 19 accepted the Gateway property as a conservation easement from the San Elijo La-

MILL

goon Conservancy, forever protecting the parcel as open space. Located east of Coast Highway 101 across from Cardiff State Beach, the 3.44-acre parcel was long sought by real estate developers and potential property owners. CITY MANAGER RETIRES, REJOINS STAFF TEMPORARILY Although David Ott officially retired as city manager in November, weeks later he agreed to serve as interim city manager until a new city manager is hired. His appointment began Dec. 18 and will run through no later than June 30, 2015, as he can work only 960 hours in a fiscal year. Ott will earn $92.91 per hour, an amount based on his previous salary. He will receive no benefits. Ott has provided more than a decade of service to the city, first joining Solana Beach in 2003 as fire chief and director of public safety. He was named deputy city manager in 2005 and city manager the following year. COMMUNITY BIDS FAREWELL TO CAMPBELL, WELCOMES NEW COUNCIL After two decades of service to the city, the community honored outgoing Mayor Thomas Campbell during his last council meeting Dec. 10. Following the hour-long recognition ceremony, Councilman Mike Nichols was sworn into his third term and Ginger Marshall began her first. Rather than hold a fall election, the council appointed Nichols and Marshall — the only two candidates for two seats — during a special meeting Aug. 20. COUNCIL APPOINTS LESA HEEBNER AS MAYOR In a unanimous vote, council members on Dec. 10 appointed Lesa Heebner as the city’s mayor and Councilman David Zito as deputy mayor. Having served as deputy mayor throughout the last year, Heebner replaced retiring Mayor Thomas Campbell. A Solana Beach resident since 1976, Heebner was first elected to the council in 2004. This is her third term as mayor, a position that rotates among council members.

But the Pikes didn’t want to leave the Highlands. When the Radio Shack space became open, it was offered to them, and they leapt at the chance. “They have been incredibly helpful and fair with us,” Sandra said of the center management, which allowed them to re-create their business with some special new additions. The new bakery has a new, more efficient convection oven, a new proof box and walk-in freezers and refrigerators. At the old space, their fridges were stand-alones on wheels, and they were always forgetting where they’d been rolled off to. Sandra’s favorite thing in the new bakery is the countertop. She got to pick out the granite herself at the slab yard, and it blends all the colors of the shop, from golden yellows and browns to greens. Hard to believe that Sandra didn’t even know what challah bread was in the beginning — now the braided loaf, which comes in plain, raisin and chocolate chip varieties, is their best-selling bread and the one for which they are most known. “We sell more challah that any other single bakery in the state,” Parker said. They make five-pound challahs for bar mitzvahs, and for several years now, they’ve made challah wreaths, ordered by Dr. John Rogers to thank the doctors and nurses during the holidays. This year, they made 91 wreaths to be delivered to Scripps Green Hospital. Their Pioneer bread is the top seller by

loaves — they sell it wholesale to Jimbo’s, Seaside Market and La Costa Farms. It’s a six-grain blend bread with pumpkin, sesame, flax, sunflower and poppy seeds. Their brioche bread is served at the Addison restaurant at the Grand Del Mar. The bakery’s shelves are loaded with loaves and biscotti, their display cases stocked with tons of muffins and cookies. Each of their monster cookies holds an estimated 40 mini M&Ms. Sandra’s new favorite pastry is a multigrain cinnamon roll, which she calls “healthy decadence.” She said after 20 years, there isn’t much out there that isn’t a good seller. Their customers are extremely loyal and effusively complimentary. “This is by far the best bakery in the world. Not only because everything they make here is superb, but their service, their attention, their welcoming presence is what makes them far superior. Sandra’s the best thing since sliced bread,” said 18-year customer Leslie Wicker. “It’s become an emotional connection, because when you’re sad, you come to Village Mill, and when you’re happy, you come to Village Mill.” Sandra accepted the compliment with a smile, enjoying the fact that Village Mill’s love for the community is mutual. “I can’t imagine doing anything else,” Sandra said.

Horizon Prep students shine at swimming championship A total of 25 teams from Southern California, Northern California, and Arizona attended the three-day Annual Winter Age Group Swimming Championship on Coronado Island Dec. 20-22. Roughly 800 swimmers competed, including the following Horizon Prep students: Drew Schmidt (7th grade), Daniel Hotson (7th grade), Revere Schmidt (4th grade), and Audrey Schafer (4th grade). Drew had top 8 finishes in seven of his nine events, including a 3rd and two 4th place finishes. The points he earned for his nine events ranked him 6th amongst the roughly 80 boys competing in the 11-12-year-old age group. Revere had top 8 finishes in five of her nine events. She ranked 8th in overall points among the roughly 50 10 & under girls. With such strong results, both Drew and Revere were selected to represent San Diego County in the annual AllStar competition to be held in Roseville, Calif. Eight boys and eight girls were selected in each age group. The team will compete head-to-head against the Sierra Nevada All-Star team. The siblings also qualified to swim at the annual fourday Far Western Championships to be held in Morgan Hill, Calif., in April, a meet that attracts the top age group swimmers in the western half of the United States. It was a special moment when Drew and 7th grade classmate Daniel Hotson competed in the 200-yard butterfly. This event is Daniel’s specialty, and the boys swam the race in lanes next to each other, finishing 3rd and 4th, respectively. Both boys had significant time improvements, likely because they pushed each other to a strong finish. Drew and Daniel have attended many local meets together over the past five years, initially as teammates, although they didn’t know each other at that time. They now compete for different swim teams, racing as Horizon Prep classmates and best friends. They encourage each other in the pool, the classroom, and in the Horizon Prep concert choir “HP Harmony.” Revere and her close friend Audrey Schafer swam together on the 200-yard medley and 400-yard freestyle relays. While the girls have different 4th grade teachers, it was wonderful to see them teaming up on a relay at this championship meet.

Register now for 3rd Annual Kaiser Permanente Carmel Valley 5K & Fun •Event to be held Jan. 24, beneﬁts local schools The 3rd Annual Kaiser Permanente Carmel Valley 5K & Fun Run is just weeks away, Jan. 24! Do not miss out on this incredible community event, which helps raise money for Carmel Valley schools. There are only 50 spots left in the 1K Kids’ Fun Run, so make sure you sign your child up as soon as possible if you would like them to participate. There are still plenty of spots left in the 5K, and race organizer Katie Wilsey encourages parents to consider letting their children, age 6 and up, run the actual 5K. “You’ll be amazed at how far these kids can run if you let them! Many kids who do the fun run are itching to do the 5K the next time,” Wilsey said. “The kids who finish the 5K always have a new confidence that shows on their face once they cross the finish line.” In addition to title sponsor Kaiser Permanente, several other generous local sponsors have stepped up with cash donations, including, AARE, Parisi Speed School, Crust Pizzeria Torrey Hills, Outpost Summer Camps, Kilroy Realty, Super Dentist, and Torrey Pines Bank. Following the race will be the Bay Club Bash, in which the Bay Club Carmel Valley will be hosting the always entertaining post party for the Carmel Valley 5K. The post party will include food, jumpies, over 20 expo booths, live music, group yoga, a silent auction, award ceremony and many other great activities. The 5K race begins at 7:30 a.m. and the 1K Fun Run starts at 8:30 a.m. The 5K Course course begins at the Bay Club parking lot at 12000 Carmel Country Road, Carmel Valley. The Fun Run will be a non-competitive 1K course on Carmel Country Road. For more information, register or volunteer for the race go to www.carmelvalley5k.com.

Lecture series to explore 17th century Dutch art FROM ATHENAEUM REPORTS The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library will present “17th Century Dutch Art,” a new five-part series by art historian Linda Blair, 7:30 p.m. Thursdays, Jan. 12-Feb. 12 in the music room, 1008 Wall St. It is not an overstatement to refer to this period in Dutch art as the Golden Age, for it is one of the most glorious eras in Western art, Blair attests. In the space of just three generations, tiny Holland bursts forth with genius — Rembrandt, Vermeer, Frans Hals and many other brilliant, innovative artists — and then, having done so, wearily sinks back, never to do so again. (Van Gogh did not achieve his mature vision until Paris). In addition, the Golden Age was uniquely innovative: true landscape painting is conceived; still-life paintings acquire new, expressive language; and the first genre art is created. Doors open at 7 p.m. Seating is limited. Tickets for the series are $60 for Athenaeum members and $85 for the public. Individual lectures are $14/$19. Reservations at (858) 454-5872 or ljathenaeum.org/lectures •Jan. 15: The first class will examine Dutch economic, political and religious factors seeking clues to explain why such artistic genius flourished in this time and place. An overarching factor is 17th century Holland’s uniqueness within the European experience. Its long, ultimately victorious war of independence from Spain freed the Dutch from the only power structures Europe had ever known — king and church. A solid middle class emerged and was quickly fortified by the immense riches of its maritime empire, and, lacking sufficient land to build vast estates, and admonished by Calvinist stricture against ostentation, sublimated its wealth into art patronage. •Jan. 22: An in-depth look at the paintings the Dutch See ART, page B13

BY JOE TASH As the daughter of a World War II flying ace, Kay Isaacson-Leibowitz got goosebumps when she visited the National World War II Museum in New Orleans in December to celebrate the opening of a new wing. The museum’s exhibits “really brought to life” the experiences of her late father, Brig. Gen. Clayton M. “Ike” Isaacson and his fellow service members, said the Rancho Santa Fe resident. Accompanying her were her husband, Harry; her sister and brother-inlaw; and her 91-year-old mother, Nona Isaacson. “It was an amazing experience. She had a great time, she was the belle of the ball,” said Isaacson-Leibowitz of her mother. Isaacson-Leibowitz, cofounder of the World of Children Award for child advocacy, was invited by the National World War II Museum’s CEO to serve on the honorary national committee for the celebration. Her fellow committee members included former news anchor Tom Brokaw and a number of top business executives. Isaacson-Leibowitz’s father flew combat missions in World War II and the Korean War, and his five “kills” landed him on the exclusive list of WWII flying aces. A number of other relatives have also served in the armed forces, including her nephew, a Navy commander. “We have a family of men who have served their country, which I’m very proud of,” she said. The new wing is called “Road to Berlin,” and houses galleries devoted to the events of the war’s European Theater. “It was educational and emotional,” she said of the celebration, which was attended by numerous vet-

I love every part of it.” Isaacson-Leibowitz said her brother-in-law is gathering items and memorabilia of her father’s, including letters, which will be donated to the museum as part of its collection. Besides her involvement with the National World War II Museum, Isaacson-Leibowitz and her husband continue to oversee the World of Children Award program, which honors people around the world for their work on behalf of children. Since Harry Leibowitz started the program in 1997 (Isaacson-Leibowitz became involved when the couple met two years later), the World of Children Award has disbursed $6 million in grants to its honorees to support programs that help children. The program hosts an annual awards banquet in New York City; the most recent event was held in November, when $1.3 million was raised to support children’s advocacy. The local couple have a business background: He worked in marketing and ran his own consulting business, while she worked in the fashion industry for four decades,

Master of ceremonies Tom Brokaw including executive positions at Victoria’s Secret and Banana Republic. Now they devote most of their time to the World of Children Award, and travel each year to countries around the globe to see firsthand the work that their grants support. In March, the couple will visit Laos and Cambodia, where one of the 2014 World of Children Award honorees, Kenro Izu, has built pediatric hospitals. They are inviting people interested in supporting the program to join them on the trip. More information can be found on the organization’s website, worldofchildren.org. In the past, the couple have traveled to Ukraine, India, Nepal and South America to promote and support the World of Children Award. “I have the same reaction every time we go. The selfless work these people do is so much better than I ever could have imagined,” said Isaacson-Leibowitz. “I’m so proud of these individuals and the work they do. We’ve never been disappointed. “It just refuels us every time we go out and see the work.”

Josefas Cocina Mexicana opens in La Jolla BY KELLEY CARLSON uan Carlos Gomez’s family of restaurants has a new addition. Josefas Cocina Mexicana (which joins eateries El Agave, Iberico Spanish Bistro and Mola Gastro Bar) opened mid-Septmber in the Village of La Jolla. “We are excited to be in La Jolla and bring our culinary innovation to this beautiful city,” said Executive Chef Omar Ramirez in a news release. “This new concept is a treat for both us, and those who visit our eclectic kitchen.” The indoor setting is vibrant and whimsical, while on the outdoor patio, guests are treated to views of Prospect Street and a glimpse of the nearby ocean. As they pore over the menu, they will discover an abundance of selections, and according to General Manager Luis Cardenas, the fare touches upon all regions of Mexico. Many patrons will kick off their visit with one of the handcrafted margaritas. The top of the line is the Cadillac Margarita, a powerful and smooth blend of El Agave Artesanal Reposado, lime and orange juice

On The Menu Recipe ■ The Recipe of the Week is

Josefas’ Guacamole Find it at the bottom of the online version of this story at www.bit.ly/otmrestaurants with a float of Grand Marnier. There’s also the spicy Apocalypto Margarita with serrano-infused tequila and tamarind nectar for a hint of sweetness. Josefas offers antojitos (street food) such as sopes, which are essentially Mexican pizzas with toppings like sautéed shrimp with chorizo, and achiote citrus stewed shredded pork. Another choice is the tostada — mini corn tortillas piled with shredded

chicken in a smoky tomato sauce, beans, lettuce, sour cream and pickled onions. For patrons in the mood for several courses, they can start with one of several types of ceviches, or perhaps the zesty Pulpo Loreto Style, a bowl filled with octopus pieces sautéed in chile-infused oil, with pico de gallo and avocado dressing. When it comes to the main course, there’s everything from salads, tacos and tortas, to burritos, enchiladas and fajitas, ranging from vegetarian varieties to entrees beefed up with steak, chicken and seafood. One that combines the best of everything is the Molcajete Cielo, Mar y Tierra, a sizzling centerpiece of food with cactus paddles, shrimp, rib eye and ranch-style chorizo draped over the sides of a hot stone mortar. The bowl is filled with a choice of spicy red tomato salsa or green tomatillo, and the strips can be piled onto corn tortillas. Desserts include Homemade Ice Cream and Flan de Queso, a cheese custard topped with caramel sauce and manchego cheese, and accented with berries, apple slices and candied walnuts.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Attorney offers hands-on, at-home approach for delicate estate situations BY DIANE Y. WELCH Dale Fields Rhett has built a solid reputation on going above and beyond for her clients. Like a general practitioner in a bygone time when doctors made house calls, Rhett, an estate planning and trust attorney, will work with her clients in the comfort of their own homes. Her hands-on concierge approach sets her apart from others and stems from an understanding of the needs of clients who may be elderly, have small children, are homebound because of disability or simply prefer not to go to an office, she said. “It’s something that I am able to offer to my clients, and they do find it very relaxing. They like being on their own turf with all their papers; it’s a lot more convenient for them,” Rhett said. She developed this concierge approach about four years ago. Working closely with her clients, she is able to look at the unique challenges associated with their estates and find the piece of the puzzle that helps her to present at least two different options for them to use. And by delving into the details of each case, she discovers innovative solutions. Estate planning affects the whole family, so it is important to maximize a strategy to protect the assets for the heirs, said Rhett. For example, looking ahead, Medicare nursing home fees may be taken out of an estate after a Medicare recipient’s death. “People 55 and older have the possibility of having the estate come back on them for these costs,” said Rhett. This possibility should be addressed during the estate planning and thus avoided at their passing. In 2015, the exclusion for estate tax purposes is $5.43

Dale Fields Rhett million. Any unused portion of this exclusion may be transferred to a surviving spouse, but the time frame is short during which the IRS must be informed of this election. “People are generally surprised to hear about this tax benefit,” said Rhett. And they are often also surprised to learn that paying college tuition for their children or their grandchil-

dren can also help reduce estate taxes. Additionally, Rhett works with foreign nationals who wish to invest in property in the U.S. Ineligible for this maximum estate tax exclusion, their needs are unique. Therefore, how they purchase real estate is extremely important, and planning to avoid some of these very high taxes is Rhett’s area of expertise. “I aid foreign nationals (to) get investor visas, and I help them to take title to property in the appropriate way and ensure that they know who is going to receive that property when they pass away,” she said. Rhett, a graduate of Washington and Lee University School of Law, started practicing in 1996. In addition to estate planning, she also aids clients with adoptions and prenuptial agreements and focuses on non-

litigation. She also assists those who have disabled adult children or minor children in need of spendthrift trusts. For each client, Rhett’s focus is on a custom solution to meet their needs in passing on assets to family members. “I take the time to explore all the different options and possibilities and explain it in detail to my cli-

ent to help them make their own choice,” she explained. Dale Field Rhett’s office is at 12526 High Bluff Drive, Suite 300, San Diego (Carmel Valley). Call 858-381-5292 for information or to schedule an appointment. Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers.

The highly acclaimed California Youth Conservatory (CYC) Theatre, threetime winner of the San Diego A-List Award for “Best Theatre Group”, and recent recipient of the prestigious Bravo San Diego Award for “Best Musical” for its summer production of Les Misérables, will present “Annie, Jr: Believe in Tomorrow” at the Lyceum Theatre in San Diego from Jan. 10 through Jan. 25. Five Del Mar/Carmel Valley/Solana Beach residents are in the cast. This family-fun, timeless musical features a mix of young adult professional caliber actors, and some of San Diego’s most talented young performers, led by an all-pro artistic staff. The production is spearheaded by the award-winning actor/director, Shaun T. Evans, wellknown to San Diego audiences for his trendsetting and barraising productions. Annie Jr. is based on one of the most successful Broadway musicals of all time, Annie. The main difference is that this title is performed by a cast of actors who are 18 years old or younger. “Little Orphan Annie” and her adventures be-

The lovely “Grace Farrel” is played by the equally lovely Meghan McKenzie, the award-winning soprano who recently won accolades for her performance as “Lily” in CYC’s recent production of The Secret Garden and as “Cosette” in CYC’s acclaimed production of Les Miz. CYC is pleased to have a local celebrity on its stage again as “Rooster Hannigan.” Young Austyn Myers, the local kid turned Broadway and Hollywood star, is a longtime CYC Theatre Associate Artist, but has also appeared in principal roles at all of San Diego’s best professional theatres. He was “Gavroche” in the

Broadway National Tour and Broadway revival of Les Miz, and also appeared alongside Eddie Murphy as “Josh,” the kid who saves the world in the Eddie Murphy comedy Meet Dave. Finally, the lead role of “Annie” is shared by two of San Diego’s very best young up-and-coming actresses, Natalie Marrewa and Claire Sheper. These two young actresses are simply dynamite, and bring a level of believability and charm to the role that is truly a treat for the audience.

WindanSea musician records ocean-inspired album

BY ASHLEY MACKIN WindanSea resident Jake Stephens, when describing his debut album â&#x20AC;&#x153;How the Water Feels,â&#x20AC;? called it a â&#x20AC;&#x153;rollingly groovy acoustic vibe album about the water â&#x20AC;Ś Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a boardson-the-back-of-the-car-rolling-towards-the-ocean album.â&#x20AC;? Recorded largely from his apartment, the Florida native said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;This album is really dedicated to anyone with a connection to the water. Whether thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s from surfing or just being near the ocean or whatever water form affects them. We have a very primal relationship with the water, especially the sea. There is just something about being in its presence that connects us all on a very primal level.â&#x20AC;? Having grown up in Jacksonville Beach with two surfer parents, Stephens said he has always lived near the beach. During some rare years away from the coast â&#x20AC;&#x201C; going to grad school in Arizona â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he committed free time to writing lyrics and melodies. With a catalogue of 70-80 songs, he took a break from his entrepreneurial efforts in solar and renewable energy to bring these songs into fruition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(The desire to record the album) was something Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been repressing for a long time while I pursued other interests, but it never went away. I wanted to give the songs a chance to be their full selves,â&#x20AC;? he said. So he picked out the songs that focus on the water and his relationship with the ocean to make up the album. Responsible for writing all the songs, playing half of the guitar heard on the record and singing, he brought on other San Diego musicians to complete the sound. Stephens said his musical influences include Tom Petty, Indigo Girls, Randy Newman, Lyle Lovett and Paul Simon. But his true inspiration came from his immediate surroundings. â&#x20AC;&#x153;About half of the album was recorded in my apartment at WindanSea, so a lot of songs were recorded looking out the window, watching pelicans fly by,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were a few recording days when I was experiencing exactly what I was singing about. To be immersed in the magic of the beach at WindanSea while I was recording and express-

ing these ideas about the ocean, really inspired me.â&#x20AC;? Taking advantage of the musicians at his disposal and the constant motivation to make music, he recorded some of the other songs he had written with more of a rock â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;nâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll sound. The rock-inspired album is set for release in mid-2015. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How the Water Feelsâ&#x20AC;? was released in November, and is available on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play and locally at Bird Rock Surf Shop, 5509 La Jolla Blvd., La Jolla.

Two local artists featured at SB Library show The community is invited to the Solana Beach Library to view the distinctive work of two local artists, Victoria Bearden and Gregory Brown, on display through Jan. 30. The artists will be at the library at 2 p.m. Jan. 10 to discuss their work. Victoria Bearden (vbearden.com) earned an MFA from UCSD in video and performance art, later choosing to focus on drawing and painting. Her art includes contemporary figurative and expressive abstracts, using traditional materials: graphite, oil, acrylic and watercolor. Gregory Brown (gmbcyanotype.com), a retired solar design and energy architect, uses the unique medium of cyanotype. Cyanotype images are produced by light striking a photosensitive emulsion, revealing effects that cannot be duplicated by paint. The results of the cyanotype process are always a surprise — an invitation to the viewer to explore. The library is at 157 Stevens Ave.; call 858-755-1404.

-portraits of that period, brash and cocky, confident of his artistic power. Determined to prove that he was the equal of the Flemish artist Peter Paul Rubens (recognized by all Europe as the greatest artist of the age), Rembrandt paints in Rubens’ Baroque style. But a decade later, Rembrandt realizes that despite the drama and theatrical lighting effects of Baroque art — characteristics he will retain — he needs to seek a different, more profound, art. •Feb. 12: In his last years, buffeted by grievous personal and financial losses, Rembrandt turns inward; the cockiness of youth yields to a tragic vision of age and loss. Western art has never experienced such magnificent examinations of what it is to be human.

Why Do More People Die During the Holidays? Although the holiday season is a time for celebration and getting together with loved ones, for thousands of people each year, it is also a time of great sadness. Several studies have revealed that there is a greater chance of dying on Christmas, the day after Christmas, and on New Year’s Day than any other day of the year. David Phillips, a sociology professor at UC San Diego, has conducted several studies on the subject, including an expansive 25-year look at death certiﬁcates from 1979-2004. He found a signiﬁcant spike in deaths during these three days. And this

increase spanned all diseases, genders, and age groups (except children). Although, it should also be noted, that despite popular belief, the suicide rate actually goes down during the holidays. This research then begs the question: Why? Why are these days so deadly? There are many theories (increased consumption of salt, more drinking, stress, weather, etc), but according to Phillips, most of these theories don’t stand up. One of the popular theories is that stress and sadness brought on by the holidays is a large contributing factor; after all, there has been much proven in regards to the strong mind-body connection. However, when Phillips looked at the death rate of Alzheimer’s patients – those who might not be aware of the holidays and the stress associated with it – he found that the increase in deaths was just as present. Another theory is that since more people die in the winter months, there must be some correlation to the cold weather. But

when Phillips compared the statistics in the colder states compared to those in warmer weather, he found that cardiac mortality is actually slightly higher in the warmer states. The answer must be then that people are consuming so much more food and alcohol that these are major contributing factors to the increased mortality rate. But once again, this theory did not hold up to Phillips’ research. He found that the death rates were still increased for those patients who were in hospitals, under strict dietary regulations. Phillips believes that one of the reasons for this phenomena may be related to access of care. On one hand, people may avoid going to the doctor or hospital because they are away from home or want to put it off so they can spend more time with their family. On the other hand, the stafﬁng of hospitals during the holidays may also be at fault. Phillips took notice of this when he saw an even higher increase in deaths from Level 1 trauma centers. “For those deaths, the spike was even

sharper,” Phillips stated. “Those are the cases where seconds make a difference and you may see a real difference between the response of a junior and senior member of staff.” Another possible reason could be that our loved ones want to hang on for one last Christmas. They may subconsciously see it as an end goal. But whatever the reason may be, it’s an unfortunate statistic that sadly affects too many households during this time. May it also serve, however, as a reminder to take care of yourselves and your loved ones, and to appreciate those close to you when you get together this holiday season. At the Encinitas Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, we take pride in treating each and every patient with the same care and respect we do our own family.

AAUW Del Mar-Leucadia Branch President Fran Miller and speaker Pari Rosen discuss plans for the January meeting.

‘AAUW: Supporting Women & Girls with Scholarships & Fellowships’ event to be held Jan. 10

The Del Mar-Leucadia Branch of the American Association of University Women will present “AAUW: Supporting Women & Girls with Scholarships & Fellowships” at its Jan. 10 meeting from 10 a.m. to noon at the Encinitas Community Center, 1140 Oakcrest Park Dr., Encinitas. The presentation will follow a social time from 10 a.m. to 10:30 a.m. The public is welcome. Two women will tell their personal stories of how their AAUW fellowship or scholarship affected their education and goals. Andrea Miller is a recipient of the American Association of University Women, Del Mar-Leucadia Branch Endowed Scholarship (Osher) for a nursing major at Mira Costa College. After earning her RN in May 2015, Miller plans to transfer to Cal State San Marcos for its 14-month program to complete a BS in nursing. Her goal is to work as a nurse in labor and delivery. She has volunteered in the Hearts and Hands program at UC San Diego where she is trained to assist women with labor, delivery and postnatal attention. She also works locally as a piano teacher. Pari Rosen received a national AAUW fellowship grant when she was working on her Ph.D. at Louisiana State University. She is a micropaleontologist who has worked both domestically and internationally. Rosen recently moved to San Diego and has become an active member of the Del Mar-Leucadia AAUW branch. She has volunteered with the American Cancer Society Reach to Recovery where she has met with breast cancer patients and answered their questions. Membership in AAUW is open to all graduates who hold an associate or higher degree from a regionally accredited college or university. The Del Mar-Leucadia Branch reflects the varied interests of its members with informative, educational monthly meetings and special interest groups such as Great Decisions, Walkabout, dining groups, book groups, film groups, Gadabout, and Theatre trips.

Kick-off 2015 the right way : Anti-aging eats for the young at heart The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN As another calendar year rolls around, that means we will all get one year older, but that doesn’t mean we have to look our true birthday age. (Yes, Christie Brinkley will be turning 61 next month!) Real age, that is, how old you really look and feel, can be kinder and more forgiving than your chronological age thanks to eating choice foods that will artfully fool Mother Nature. Here’s the A(nti-aging) List to help you grow young gracefully. Say Cheese! Bone up on calciumrich foods, especially Greek

yogurt, goat and fresh mozzarella cheeses, dark leafy greens, broccoli and sardines with the skin and bones intact for a dazzling, youthful smile. A mother lode of calcium sources will create brighter, whiter teeth by fortifying the enamel and boosting saliva production to help ward off bacteria that causes yellow staining. Use your Bean That morning java jolt might actually erase years from your face. The caffeine’s the thing that constricts blood vessels creating a more even and attractive skin tone. Nature’s Collagen Factory Guava is a tropical treat with a rich store of Vitamin C to help build and plump up droopy cells for a more taut, glowing complexion. So start the day with a coconut cream and guava smoothie, or slather some guava jelly on a slice of whole-wheat toast. Whip up a guava chutney with crunchy jicama, Persian cucumber and a squirt of lime juice to top off a seafood cocktail or wild caught grilled fish. Or eat it straight up for your daily dose of anti-aging.

Brazilian Bombshell Although a tough one to crack, two Brazil nuts a day will keep the plastic surgeon at bay. The magic ingredient is the trace mineral selenium responsible for replenishing damaged cells ravaged by free radicals. But watch out--they’re fattening, so make the cut-off two. Other nutty alternatives include, omega-3 rich walnuts that will boost moisture content in your skin helping to plump up those creepy lines. Whip up a bunch of candied walnuts and sprinkle on oatmeal, salads or eat them solo as a satisfying and regenerating snack. Or indulge in the versatile almond packed with vitamin E to alleviate free radical damage caused by UV rays and environmental toxins. This mighty nut that can be pulverized into a spreadable butter, tossed in an Asian chicken or shrimp stir-fry, or finely ground into flour for gluten-free baked treats has a triple boon for healthy skin, hair and nails. As Cool as a Cucumber Whether you eat this cooling fruit or place a pair

of refreshing slices over your tied and puffy eyelids, you will be pampered with an anti-aging boost from the high water and silica content. Having both antioxidant and antiflammatory properties the cucumber will help impart a glowing and youthful complexion. Add cukes to a Greek salad, blend into a green smoothie, or enliven sandwiches or burgers with dill or bread and butter pickles. Get the Wrinkles Out The crinkly, wrinkly little raisin with a slew of vitamins and minerals, including iron, magnesium and potassium will add a sparkle to your eyes, prevent squinting (along with those nasty creases) and endow radiance to your complexion. Antiviral and antibacterial, the shriveled powerhouse will detox your system while maintaining a healthy balance or homeostasis. Sew Some Wild Oats Regular old-fashioned oatmeal (not instant) or steel cut oats have a load of Vitamin E and amino acids to provide cellular regeneration from sun damage, and bulldoze harmful free radicals. Oats also spur nitric oxide production to boost circulation, feeding cells

and the skin with a rich supply of oxygen. So toss some oats in your meatballs, stuffings, cookie batters, or bake a batch with orange blossom honey and dried cranberries for a hearty granola cereal or snack. Or cook up a pot of creamy oatmeal for a hearty age-reversing treat.

Oatmeal up!

Ingredients

1 cup old-fashioned oatmeal or rolled oats 2 cups liquid, your choice (milk, almond milk, coconut milk, hazelnut milk) 1 tablespoon honey, brown sugar or maple syrup (and extra for topping) Pinch of sea salt Toppings (your choice) 1 tablespoon dried fruits (cranberries, cherries, raisins, chopped dates or apricots) 1 tablespoon fresh berries (wild blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, strawberries) 1 banana, sliced 2 guavas, cubed 1 tablespoon nuts or seeds (chopped walnuts, slivered almonds, crushed Brazil or pistachio nuts, flax, pumpkin, sesame or sunflower seeds) 2 strips of crispy turkey bacon In a heavy saucepan

combine oats and milk and bring to a slow boil. Simmer and stir frequently until oats soften and the mixture thickens. Add salt and sweetener and simmer another few minutes for your desired consistency. Top with your faves. For additional divine holiday recipes, email kitchenshrink@san.rr.com
