Del Mar residents provide input on city hall plans, EIR draft BY KRISTINA HOUCK With an understanding of what the community wants, Del Mar City Council members instructed the design team to draw up plans for a civic center the city needs. “We’re getting a lot of good input and we’ve got great people working on this project,” Councilman Don

Mosier said during a Sept. 28 public workshop on the latest phase of the project. “Let them design it, come back and see what they present to us.” The city brought The Miller Hull Partnership on board in April, and since then, the architectural firm has worked closely with the community, from the initial

concept to the current design of the project. Del Mar residents had an opportunity to discuss the project’s latest designs and draft environmental impact report during the recent workshop. Following presentations by the city’s consultants, workshop attendees were divided into three groups, rotating every

Del Mar school district terminates lunch provider contract, seeks new vendor BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) is looking for a new vendor to provide healthy school lunches to its students. DMUSD Assistant Superintendent Cathy Birks said there were issues from day one with the new provider, LunchMaster, and only a month into the school year the district submitted a 30-day notice to terminate its contract on Oct. 17. However, LunchMaster requested that the district terminate the contract earlier on Oct. 2. A special board meeting was held on Sept. 28 to bring back the district’s old vendor, Choicelunch, on a temporary 90-day contract. The district will seek bids by possible vendors before selecting one to provide lunch service for the remainder of the school year and fulfill a five-year contract. When the district went out to bid for the lunch contract before the 2015-16 school year, only two vendors responded. Birks said LunchMaster was considered comparable to Choicelunch in terms of food quality and taste. “We did receive a lot of e-mails from families saying that [LunchMaster] was not comparable,” Birks noted. Pricing was also an issue as Choicelunch was increasing its cost of lunch from $5.15 to $5.50. LunchMaster’s meals were $5. The lunch includes a standard entrée, a choice of vegetable or fruit or both, one snack and one beverage. The district will advertise for bids on Oct. 9 and Oct. 16 and materials will be available on its website under business services. The deadline for proposals will be Nov. 6, with the goal to bring a recommendation to the board by December. The request for proposal will include criteria that came out of the district’s Child Nutrition Committee, such as meals prepared from scratch daily, fresh fruit and vegetables not from a canned source, whole grains, no artificial colors or preservatives, and meats that are free of nitrates and added hormones. The vendor must also adhere to the National School Lunch Program (NSLP) requirements, which includes parameters about food safety, packaging and nutritionally compliant serving sizes. As a member of the NSLP, the district is reimbursed for free and reduced lunches.

20 minutes or so to discuss architectural design plans, landscape design plans and the draft EIR report. Located on the site of the city’s facilities at 1050 Camino del Mar, the proposed project includes a 9,250-square-foot city hall for administrative services, a 3,200-square-foot town hall for community gatherings

Solana Beach to construct recycled water line BY KRISTINA HOUCK With improvements already coming to Via de la Valle, the city of Solana Beach is collaborating with its coastal neighbor to construct a recycled water line along the shared corridor. In a unanimous vote, the Solana Beach City Council on Sept. 23 appropriated more than $1.3 million toward the extension of the water line in the city. The recycled water line ends at Via de la Valle and Valley Avenue. The project will extend the line west along Via de la

Valle to Highway 101. With two projects already planned for Via de la Valle, this project is now part of one large construction contract between Del Mar and Solana Beach. The city of Del Mar is building a pipeline to transmit its wastewater through Solana Beach to the San Elijo Water Reclamation Facility in Cardiff. The new pipe will be constructed from Del Mar’s 21st Street pump station along Camino del Mar to Via de la Valle, connecting to Solana Beach’s system

near South Cedros. In addition, Del Mar is implementing street and sidewalk improvements along Via de la Valle from Jimmy Durante Boulevard to Highway 101. By working together and combining Del Mar and Solana Beach’s projects into one contract, the cities aim to coordinate construction activities, minimize traffic impacts and reduce costs. “We recognized that Via de la Valle was also being considered for other imSee WATER, page 22

Merge, Carmel Row aims for completion in 2016 with restaurants, residences BY KAREN BILLING More dining and residential options are in store for the Carmel Country Highlands neighborhood as the Merge project builds toward completion. At its Sept. 24 meeting, the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board approved a planned development permit for the sale of spirits in association with a restaurant at the Merge mixed-use center on Carmel Mountain Road and Carmel Country Road. Construction on the commercial part of Merge has begun, with the first tenants slated to be open for business by mid-2016. The project will feature 31,000 square feet of retail on the ground floor with office space above. “We are approaching one-third leased with more tenants in negotiations to put us over 50 percent,” said Gary Levitt, principal of developer Sea Breeze Properties. Levitt said it is too early to release the names of the potential restaurants, but said he is in discussions with some of San Diego’s best restaurant operators and a great coffee shop. In the project’s residential component, Carmel Row, 22 “city-homes” are being built. As Levitt explained, they are not considered townhomes, as the garages are pulled away from the units to create small rear yards. The units should be complete in early 2016 and reservations for tenants have already begun.

BY RICKY YOUNG SPECIAL TO THE DM TIMES, CV NEWS, SB SUN We hadn’t even figured out whether to pronounce it Hay-gun or Hah-gen, and suddenly the grocery chain wants to close all its stores in California, Arizona and Nevada and stick to its roots in the Northwest. This past spring, Haggen took over 146 stores that Albertson’s and Safeway/Vons had to sell when they merged. Haggen has struggled with its huge expansion into the rest of the West, particularly in Southern California, where a pricing glitch made many customers think the store was way more expensive than its predecessors here (because it was — at first, anyway). In May, after the pricing was smoothed out, the store’s Pacific Southwest CEO Bill Shaner was upbeat in a story in The San Diego Union-Tribune. “People are entitled to their opinions, but I’m confident Haggen will succeed,” he said. “We have great locations, an experienced management team, a talented support team and tremendous leaders and associates in our stores who have already developed meaningful relationships within the communities we serve.” A retail analyst was less optimistic and, apparently, more correct. “When a company is required to divest stores, like what Safeway and Albertsons did, they prefer to sell to a weak retailer that will most likely fail,” said analyst David J. Livingston, founder of DJL Research. “My hunch is they are counting on Haggen’s failing. They want to make sure that whoever they sell to will be an ineffectual competitor.” Haggen last month announced it would close 27 stores, and this month entered bankruptcy court. It sought permission for the additional 100 closures from the judge on Sept. 24. The impact in San Diego County could mean as many as 25 closed stores.

‘Cost of College’ workshop Oct. 2 at CCA The Canyon Crest Academy Foundation will be presenting a free educational workshop from 7-8:30 p.m. Friday, Oct. 2, on how to survive the high cost of college.

Village at PHR debuts weekly food truck night Oct. 3

Santa Fe Christian in Solana Beach recognized as national Blue Ribbon School

BY KAREN BILLING The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch will debut its new weekly food truck night this Saturday, Oct. 3, from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. After the Saturday debut, the food truck night will be held every Wednesday starting Oct. 7 through the end of November, weather permitting. Food trucks on hand for the debut will include Red Oven, Mariscos Nine Seas, Dos Bandidos and Stuffed! The kick-off event will also include live entertainment and giveaways from Village merchants. According to Dan Curran, vice president of Coast Income Properties, a variety of trucks ranging from British pub eats to organic health food will join the Village for the weekly events. “We thought a community food truck night would complement the offerings at the Village while our existing tenants continue to establish their locations and our new tenants prepare for their openings,� Curran said. “Food truck nights are one more way the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch is working to meet the needs of the community’s members — bringing more food and entertainment options within walking distance.� The latest tenant announced for the Village is a new tavern/restaurant concept by the Verant Group, the San Diego-based restaurant and bar organization responsible for six community favorites such as Ture North Tavern in North Park, BarleyMash in the Gaslamp District and Sandbat Sports Bar and Grill in Mission Beach. Keep updated on the latest tenant news at phrvillage.com or follow them on Facebook at The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch.

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Two schools in San Diego County, including one in Solana Beach, were named national Blue Ribbon Schools by U.S. Secretary of Education Arne Duncan on Sept. 29. Santa Fe Christian Middle School, a private school in Solana Beach and Deer Canyon Elementary in the Poway Unified School District, were among 285 public and 50 private schools in the U.S. to receive the honor. Of those, 33 were in California. “California’s newly selected Blue Ribbon Schools are among the best in the nation and reflect our state’s commitment to preparing students for college and career,� said state Superintendent of Public Instruction Tom Torlakson. “We celebrate these models of excellence as they shine in the national spotlight,� he said. “I congratulate all the hardworking students, teachers, parents, staff, and administrators who made this recognition possible.� Schools are selected for overall academic excellence or progress in closing achievement gaps among student groups. Officials with the awarded schools will attend a national awards ceremony in early November in Washington, D.C. Each winner will receive a plaque and flag, which can be flown at their schools as a mark of excellence.

Whole Foods Market to cut 1,500 jobs BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Whole Foods Market, which has locations in Del Mar, La Jolla and Encinitas, plans to eliminate about 1,500 jobs, or about 1.6 percent of its workforce, over the next two months, the Texas-based company announced today. Company officials said many of the cuts are expected to be achieved through attrition — not filling jobs that workers vacate — and some of those whose jobs are eliminated could find work at other open positions or at one of the more than 100 new stores in development. “This is a very difficult decision, and we are committed to treating affected team members in a caring and respectful manner,� said Whole Foods co-CEO Walter Robb. “We have offered them several op-

tions including transition pay, a generous severance or the opportunity to apply for other jobs. “In addition, we will pay these team members in full over the next eight weeks as they decide which option to choose,� he said. “We believe this is an important step to evolve Whole Foods Market in a rapidly changing marketplace.� The company did not provide a breakdown of where the jobs would be cut and which stores might be affected. Company officials said the cuts were being made as part of its “commitment to lower prices for its customers and invest in technology upgrades while improving its cost structure.� The company has 431 stores, including 10 in Canada and nine in the United Kingdom.

CV photographer puts focus on San Diego County from mountains to shores BY KRISTINA HOUCK From the panoramic coast to the picturesque mountains, it’s hard to capture the beauty of San Diego County in one book. But that’s what Carmel Valley photographer Steve Gould set out to do with “San Diego, California: A Photographic Portrait.” “These aren’t snapshots,” Gould said. “I tried to create each image as a piece of art.” Published in May, the 128-page book features 185 photos taken by Gould, along with a narrative written by Sara Day. The book follows Gould’s two self-published books on the Southern Ocean and Iceland, released on Blurb in 2010 and 2012, respectively. A year later, in August 2013, Gould was contacted by Massachusetts-based Twin Lights Publishers, which has brought the beauty of America to readers through its “Photographic Portrait” series for more than a decade. He was asked to capture San Diego County. “It was a total surprise — and a delightful one — when they got in touch with me,” Gould said.

SB artist uses skills to draw children in as she imparts life lessons BY KRISTINA HOUCK After a more-than-30-year career as an artist, Solana Beach’s Sally Huss is now using her skills as a children’s book author and illustrator. “I want to uplift children using my talents,” she said. And in just three years, she has written well over 50 books, including several books for adults. “I just keep going,” she said. Originally from Bakersfield, Huss studied at Occidental College and later graduated from the University of Southern California with a bachelor’s in fine art. By that time, she had already become a champion tennis player, having won the Wimbledon and U.S. Junior titles and been a Wimbledon semi-finalist in the Women’s Division in both singles and doubles. “From the time of 10 to 21, when I quit, I was a tennis player,” said Huss, who began taking private oil painting lessons when she was 10 years old. “But I also did art in school and really focused on that.” After college, Huss worked in television and then in films for Samuel Goldwyn, Jr. She later managed Paul Simon’s music publishing company. But with her brushes and racquet still at her side, Huss returned to both fields. She started teaching tennis. Around that time, she also met her future husband, Marv. They married nearly 39 years ago and have an adult son. Together they developed the Aspen Club in Colorado, a health spa and tennis facility. After that, they built 26 Sally Huss Galleries across the country and around the world, offering art, ceramics, clothing, acces-

sories and other licensed products. The couple opened their first gallery in the early 1980s in Laguna Beach. The pair eventually owned five galleries, with the others in Santa Monica, La Jolla, Pasadena and Palm Springs. Others owned the remaining galleries, with two located in Japan and Switzerland. “I was always working,” Huss said. “I always had my head down, continuing to paint and design. It was really fun.” When the recession hit, however, the galleries started closing across the country, with the last gallery in La Jolla closing its doors about three years ago. “I then turned my attention to what I always wanted to do: children’s books,” Huss said. Huss has always wanted to be an author. She started writing short stories in the 1970s and has a box filled with unfinished and unpublished books she’s written. “I always had the desire to do it, but I never really had the time,” she said. After closing their last gallery, the couple spent a year and a half in Fallbrook, where Huss focused on creating children’s books. “It was like a retreat,” said Marv, who as the former head of advertising and promotion for Hallmark Cards, helps with business. “She worked seven days a week for a year and a half.” The couple then moved to Solana Beach at the start of the year.

‘Moonlight in Casablanca’ gala chair dedicated to children’s charities BY DIANE Y. WELCH Attendees at the Miracle Babies sixth annual gala on Oct. 10 will be transported to Morocco right from a terrace at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar. The sights, flavors and ambiance will be fitting for the “Moonlight in Casablanca” theme with lavish decor, exotic food, and belly dancers. The evening will begin with cocktails on the outdoor terrace, followed by a gourmet seated dinner, live auction and dancing. Suggested attire is black tie, elegant vintage Hollywood — a nod to the classic movie — or Moroccan-influenced attire. Miriam Smotrich, a local philanthropist, is the chair of the event. Charo Garcia-Guerra is co-chair and a large committee of 22 volunteers will help make Smotrich’s vision a reality. The theme of “Casablanca” was chosen because Smotrich loves the classic movie — and she was born in Morocco. “I always loved Morocco; there is something mystic about it,” she said. “I love the decor and the Moorish design, and with Casablanca, it can go vintage Hollywood. You will definitely see lots of fashion at this party; it will be very colorful.” Wayne Foster Music will provide entertainment, actor and comedian Jonathan E. Silverman will serve as emcee, and Miriam Smotrich disco dancing will go long into the night, said Smotrich. Funds raised by the gala for Miracle Babies — founded by Dr. Sean Daneshmand in 2009 — will provide support and financial assistance to families in need with critically ill newborns in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) as well as enhancing the well-being of women, children and their families through education, prevention and medical care. Every year, more than 500,000 babies are born prematurely in the United States, and often families find themselves faced with unexpected financial difficulties. Smotrich is dedicating her life to giving back to children-related charities in San Diego. She and her husband, David — a world-renowned infertility specialist — support Adopt-aFamily, The Ronald McDonald House, Just Like My Child and the Challenged Athletes Foundation. The Smotriches’ third child, Gabrielle, was born four weeks early and was in the NICU, said Smotrich who added that she was very fortunate to be able to see her baby every day. “So we understand why this foundation is so important for those in need.” This year, the fundraiser has been elevated to raise more funds to meet the growing need

of local families. Ticket prices are $500 per person, VIP tickets are available for $1,000, and tables of 10 start at $5,000 for general seating and $10,000 for VIP seating. It has taken almost a year to prepare for the gala, said Smotrich. “Miracle Babies is a small foundation so we are all hands-on, we are doing everything ourselves. It’s a team effort, and we all get along — we all want what’s best for the charity.” Giving to charity stemmed from Smotrich’s childhood. She grew up in a conservative home in Israel, with seven siblings, but the family always gave back. “It was very important to my parents to show us the importance of giving, and you lead by example, so now we do the same with our children.” Smotrich used the Hebrew phrase “tikkun olam,” which translates to “repair the world.” She said that she wishes more people could follow this simple philosophy. “We would have a better world,” she commented. “On behalf the entire Miracle Babies team, we thank Miriam for her heart and love for Miracle Babies and the families we serve,” said Marjan Daneshmand, wife of Dr. Daneshmand, founder of Miracle Babies, about Smotrich’s tireless work. “We so appreciate her consummate professionalism and attention to detail during this year’s gala season. This event is sure to be one for the books!” Event sponsors include Sydney Holland Foundation; La Jolla IVF; Tri-City Medical Center; San Diego Neonatology; AMN Healthcare; Barona Band of Mission Indians; First Foundation; Sharp Mary Birch Hospital; and Union Bank. At press time, some tickets were still available. A limited number include premier seating, upgraded menu, wine and favor plus invitation to the exclusive Patron Party at a private La Jolla estate.

CVMS student wins award for art Rite Aid honors scholarship recipients in SD on theme of pollution in oceans Associates at the Rite Aid pharmacy at 3515 Delmar Heights Road in San Diego recently honored 23 local students receiving educational scholarships totaling $101,000 during a special in-store event. The scholarships were part of a nationwide effort where Rite Aid associates honored nearly 300 students who were named recipients of Folds of Honor educational scholarships provided by The Rite Aid Foundation’s KidCents program. The foundation’s $1.3 million donation to Folds of Honor, a nonprofit based in Owasso, Okla., dedicated to providing scholarships to children of fallen or disabled veterans, was first announced in May during Folds of Honor’s annual Patriot Cup Invitational. Folds of Honor (www.foldsofhonor.org) was founded in 2007 by Maj. Dan Rooney, an F-16 fighter pilot in the Oklahoma Air National Guard who served three tours of duty in Iraq. Folds of Honor has since raised more than $70 million and awarded nearly 8,000 scholarships to the family members of fallen or disabled veterans. KidCents was developed by The Rite Aid Foundation to provide Rite Aid customers an opportunity to do even more to help the kids in their communities. Through KidCents, members of Rite Aid’s wellness+ with Plenti program can round up their in-store or online purchases to the nearest dollar and give their change to one of more than 360 nonprofit organizations focused on improving the health and wellbeing of children. Folds of Honor is also able to receive round-up donations from Rite Aid customers through the KidCents program. To designate your change to Folds of Honor, visit www.kidcents.com.

Isabella Kwon, a seventh-grader at Carmel Valley Middle School, won Honorable Mention and a $100 cash prize for her art submission to the 2015 International Ocean Awareness Student Contest. As one of the selected winners from over 1,100 high-caliber submissions from 35 countries, Isabella’s art will also be featured in galleries and merchandise sent around the world. This year, the contest prompted students to consider “Our Oceans, Our Plastic” to direct attention to the growing international problem of ocean plastic pollution. The contest challenges students to combine art, science, and environmental advocacy to give our oceans a voice. “I was inspired to draw this piece of art because when researching about this topic I realized that the main reason we were so worried about ocean pollution was on only our behalf,” wrote Isabella about her art piece. “So when I went to draw I decided to put in an animal that not many people were concerned about. The Goldfish. This piece actually made me wonder, ‘Do these animals, ones that can breathe underwater, have a limit?’ I tried to imagine a future for these fish, a future where they only barely exist, and must depend upon our technology to survive.” The contest has run for four years, but this is the first year that it has been open to middle schools. Bow Seat Ocean Awareness Programs, the international ocean conservation nonprofit that hosts the contest each year, plans to give out more than $50,000 to the winners of the middle and high school divisions of the contest. Submissions ranged from essays and stories exploring the cause of plastic pollution to sculptures and dresses crafted completely out of discarded beach plastics. The artists and their work will be featured in real-world exhibition and distribution projects that will be coordinated with Bow Seat’s international partners over the coming year. Each project will aim to spread awareness of plastic pollution and ocean conservation to the public by engaging the public with the teen’s art, poetry, writing, and films. The high school contest winners will be announced in mid-October, and the 2016 contest will open in November. Visit fromthebowseat.org to see all the winners.

Juvenile Court Judge Isackson Anton-Stumm nuptials joins staff of Voices for Children held in Rancho Santa Fe The Honorable Carol Isackson has joined the staff of Voices for Children (VFC), a private nonprofit serving foster children with volunteer advocates, on a part-time basis to assist with fundraising and high level programmatic issues. Now retired, Isackson served as a dependency judge in San Diego’s Juvenile Court from January 2007 until spring 2015, during which time she regularly interacted with VFC’s volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs), when they attended their case children’s court hearings. Isackson, of Del Mar, was appointed to the bench by California Gov. Gray Davis in April 2001. She was assigned as a delinquency judge in the San Diego Superior Court’s Juvenile Division from 2001 to 2006 and was a judge in Family Court from 2006 to 2007. She received her law degree from the Chicago-Kent College of Law, where she was a member of the Chicago-Kent Law Review and Moot Court. She received a master’s of social work from the University of Illinois, and a bachelor of arts degree from the University of Michigan. The Honorable Carol Isackson has presented topics on juvenile law at the Juve- Isackson nile Law Institute and the Continuing Judicial Studies Program.

At Voices for Children, Isackson will serve as Special Counsel to the President/CEO, reporting to Voices for Children President/CEO Sharon M. Lawrence, Esq. Remarking on Isackson’s decision to join the staff, Lawrence said, “Our Board of Directors, staff, and volunteers enthusiastically welcome Judge Isackson and are thrilled that we and the foster children we serve will benefit from the knowledge she brings to our organization. Her judicial and social work background as well as her appreciation and understanding of the work of our CASA volunteers will provide valuable insight.” Said Isackson, “I’m honored to have joined the staff of Voices for Children and believe wholeheartedly that the work they and their CASA volunteers do directly impacts foster children’s lives. “While on the Juvenile Court bench, I presided over thousands of cases and I strongly believe that foster children with CASA volunteers had better outcomes than those who did not. Often, the CASA volunteer was the only consistent adult presence in the foster child’s life, and this stability and thorough knowledge of the children and the details of their case helped me make more informed decisions about each of these children’s lives. I am very glad that I can continue to promote the best interests of foster children as a member of the VFC staff.” Visit www.speakupnow.org.

Movies uncover the world for viewers at San Diego Film Festival BY JEANNE FERRIS Globetrotting is easy-peasy for those with wanderlust at the San Diego Film Festival, which runs till Sunday, Oct. 4. Forget luggage fees, expired passports and a house sitter for the dog. The only thing you need to attend an international film is a printed ticket or scanned on your cellphone. “Kidnap Capital” is the only film in the festival placed in two categories, Social Justice and Foreign Films, said Stephanie Inscoe, festival producer. “Technically, it isn’t foreign, but the language is primarily Spanish (and) this film is so timely and so relevant to what is happening in border cities, not to mention the refugee crisis in Europe, I wanted it to be considered.” “Kidnap Capital” (North American premiere) is based on real events about a “drop house” of kidnapped illegal Central American migrants in Phoenix (a documented hub for illicit activity) and the survival of its captives. It’s a film with outstanding photography, acting and editing — “a little film that could,” said Felipe Rodriguez, director, writer and producer. “It (has) always appealed to me to tell stories that plant a “Seahorse” (Brazil) is a seed of good in people. Film as a medium has the power to coming of age drama. instill ideas and suggest action. It makes people go home and replay events and situations in their heads. Scenes are repeated and lines quoted for years to come,” said Rodriguez, a French Canadian of Spanish descent and a well-respected documentarian. “That’s why telling a dramatic story with the real backdrop of human kidnapping rings, as it happens on a daily basis and maybe right next door, appealed to me.” “Dark Horse” is from New Zealand (U.S. premiere). Oxford’s definition of a dark horse is: little-known person who is unexpectedly prominent. “While the main storyline is around chess, the underlying theme is really about a man who searches for the courage to lead,” said Inscoe. “It’s a great story about purpose and hope. It’s inspiring for everyone.” Chris Curtis, “Dark Horse” lead actor (“Fear the Walking Dead,” “Whale Rider”) is of Maori descent, with tribal affiliations of Te Arawa and Ng¬ati Hauiti. He will be in attendance for the screening. “The Cut” is from Armenia (world premiere): This epic drama traces one man’s journey through the Ottoman Empire after surviving the 1915 Armenian genocide. He moves on as a forced laborer from the Mesopotamian deserts in Mardin and Nazareth; and when he learns that his twin daughters might still be alive, travels to America via Havana to the deso-

“Dark Horse” (New Zealand) is framed by chess, but is about a man who searches for the courage to lead. Courtesy photos late prairies of North Dakota. “Labyrinth of Lies” is a political thriller from Germany (U.S. premiere): In 1958, a public prosecutor discovers that a teacher has been identified as a former Auschwitz guard — but no one is prosecuting him. “The Ambassador to Bern” is from Hungary (West Coast premiere). Based on true events, this political thriller chronicles the day of Aug. 16, 1958, when two Hungarian immigrants break into the Hungarian embassy in Bern, Switzerland. “Seashore” from Brazil (San Diego premiere) is an intimate coming-of-age drama where two friends find themselves on the cusp of adulthood where a brief excursion to the coastal town is a journey into themselves. “Victoria” is from Germany (West Coast premiere): This is an award-winning (Silver Berlin Bear) film shot entirely in one take and in one night about one girl; it’s action-packed and filled with intensity and intrigue. Now, how simple was that? No jet lag and no language barrier! Tickets can be purchased at sdfilmfest.com.

A Fresh Look on Finances

with Aubrey Morrow CFP®

WEALTH has been

created by investing in the Stock Market and Real Estate

FOR RENT

We have witnessed the stock market as much more volatile these days as in the past. So, why do most people have their investments tied to the stock market? It’s simply too easy and many people are not aware of other investment options. If you have a mutual fund or retirement accounts, odds are that you are invested in some fashion – in the stock market via a mutual fund, 401k, 403(b) or some other retirement account. As a financial advisor for more than thirty years, I have always recommended a diversified investment portfolio which matches one’s goals and objectives, element of risk willing to take (keeping in mind), everything has “risk”, and time horizon before you need income from your investments. Diversification can involve many different types of investments and real estate is one of them. One can own a rental property which they manage or own interest in larger commercial properties with professional management. Other alternative investments can include owning interest in lending institutions which make senior loans to large private businesses providing projected attractive cash flow to investors. Investors can also own interest in multi-family apartments, needed senior housing and HealthCare facilities located throughout the United States. These alternative investments can provide diversification projected tax sheltered cash flow with potential appreciation to keep up with inflation – and help you potentially create greater wealth while lowering you exposure to volatile stock markets. While diversification is important, it cannot guarantee a profit or protect against loss. And, keep in mind, past performance is not indicative of future results. As a general rule of thumb: 1. Maintain amount in your checking to equal one month’s expenses. 2. Maintain a savings account which will provide liquidity if needed for an emergency or opportunity. The amount should be based on the reliability of your income. 3. Next, max out all possible retirement accounts. 4. Lastly, plan a personal diversified investment plan. One of these days, you will be happy you planned early. People are living longer and their money needs to do the same. As mentioned, every investment has risk. However, without risk, there is also little return on your investment. Do your homework and work with a trusted financial advisor – one who is a “Fiduciary” who only has your best interest in mind.

Falcon frosh fall short at Poway BY JOHN SCHREIBER With the kickoff temperature 94 degrees at Poway High on the afternoon of Sept. 24, it was clear that football weather had not yet arrived as the visiting Torrey Pines freshman Falcons took on the home Titans. The defenses for both squads definitely arrived, however, resulting in a lowscoring struggle won by Poway 12-10. Poway scored its only offensive points of the day on a quick four-play drive to open the game. After a failed extra point, the Titans led 6-0 with just two minutes gone in the first quarter. Following a 23-yard kickoff return by Evan Galluzzi, the Falcons responded with a methodical nine-play drive featuring a 12-yard reverse run by Galluzzi. The result was a 24- yard field goal by Jason Heine, bringing the Falcons back within three points with 4:18 remaining in the quarter. A Poway fumble on the next possession was recovered by the Falcons, who used nice runs by Heine and Porter Hollen to set up a 12yard touchdown pass from Miles Hastings to Tucker

From there, both defenses really kicked in. Cornerback Jake Nelson broke up a long Titan pass play as the second quarter began, and linebackers Mike Schreiber and Jack Foate sacked Poway’s quarterback for a 17-yard loss to end the half with no further scoring. Midway through the third quarter, a Falcon punt was blocked and returned for a touchdown. Another botched Titan extra point left the score 12-10 Poway. The teams traded possessions, punts, turnovers and penalties for the rest of the defensive struggle. Falcon quarterback Hastings finished 12 for 24 for 165 yards through the air, despite four drops by his receiving corps. Drawdy caught six passes for 106 yards, while Heine led the Falcon rushing attack with eight carries for 29 yards. Defensively, linebackers Schreiber, Mac Bingham, and Michael Stearns contributed 10, seven, and four tackles, respectively.

Letters to the editor/Opinion

Kaaboo’s noise levels Kaaboo a huge success, so stop complaining totally unacceptable “Noise from Kaaboo heard 7 miles away!” When I saw the Letter to the Editor (Sept. 24), “Noise from Kaaboo heard 2 miles away,” I had to laugh for two reasons. First, I live 7 miles away, yes, 7 miles away from the Del Mar fairgrounds, up in Torrey Hills, and I could hear the noise loud and clear Friday night (Sept. 18) and again on Sunday while surfing in north Encinitas. For Councilman Don Mosier to claim, “There’s unusual sound transmission patterns, that’s something we can’t control,” is ridiculous. You can control it — you don’t allow Kaaboo to ever return! I’ve lived here 17 years and I have never heard noise, ever, from the fairgrounds. Kaaboo was extremely loud, and the noise was totally unacceptable. Secondly, I had to laugh because I must be getting “old.” Over 20 years ago, I used to enjoy these same bands in college, and stood close to the stage back then. I’m a parent now, and value my peace and sanity, and I don’t appreciate my windows rattling 7 miles away from an event that should never have been approved. Carl Mapes, Torrey Hills

Kaaboo? That was more like KaaBOOM Noise? What noise? You ain’t heard nothin’ yet. How about enough “noise” to drive you insane? That’s what I heard before the “performance.” I heard them practicing in someone’s garage before the Kaa and the Boo were ready to inflict it on the public. That was one block down the hill from my home. Return engagement? Have mercy. Edith Parti, Del Mar

Send Kaaboo complaints to Sacramento, city of SD Go to Kaaboo, and let the music soothe you The Fairgrounds property is state-owned and -controlled. This means, of course, the city of Del Mar has no input into events staged there. Thus, the Del Mar City Council only learned about Kaaboo after the Fair Board had solidified its plans and started selling tickets. Then all it could do was attempt to respond to any projected local problems, and hope the small percentage of on-site sales taxes it receives will cover the costs of extra manpower and cleanup, among other things. Those of us who live in the city aren’t thrilled by this situation, but there it is. Our small voice is basically ignored. Since complaining to the Ag District has proven futile, I suggest unhappy area residents should directly address Sacramento, or perhaps try to get the city of San Diego involved. It is home to a goodly share of Ag. District property, and surely has a bigger voice than Del Mar! Did you know next year’s Kaaboo(m?) has already been scheduled? Barbara Stegman, Del Mar

Business Manager BEAU BROWN

As a resident of Del Mar for the past 42 years, I know there’s a group of about 50 socalled Del Mar residents who love to bitch. (The number is actually much smaller, because probably half don’t actually live in the city of Del Mar) It’s no surprise they’re complaining about Kaaboo, since it was something new that brought strangers with lots of money to spend to Del Mar. Hate to disappoint the complainers, but certainly they must have better things to do. I was very fortunate to attend Kaaboo and found it exceeded all my expectations. Everything was first class. The music was fantastic, and everyone seemed to be having a great time. Sorry, complainers, but Kaaboo was a home run and certain to be an annual event. I saw very little, if any, negative impact on Del Mar. Here’s the scorecard: Complainers: 43 KAABOO guests: 30,000 a day. Complainers, find something else to bitch about. There’s always traffic, roundabout plans or leaf blowers. Stu Schreiber, Del Mar

Poll of the Week at www.delmartimes.net Last week’s poll results: Did you go to Kaaboo Del Mar?

I went to Kaaboo. Fabulous. Well organized. Brought thousands together in a celebration of diverse, inventive song. So when someone kvetches about music disturbing their quiet — indeed, a Carmel Valley someone whose very stuccoed presence bulldozed a coastal valley once possessed by the precious silence of nature and nature alone! — Shakespeare’s “Merchant of Venice” comes to mind: “The man that hath no music in himself, Nor is not moved with concord of sweet sounds, Is fit for treasons, stratagems and spoils; The motions of his spirit are dull as night And his affections dark as Erebus: Let no such man be trusted. Mark the music.” So next year when Kaaboo comes to town, flee the dulling roar of your gridlocked freeway 56, escape the darkened affections of your bituminous cul-de-sac, and go to the show! You’ll be surprised at how music soothes the sleepless suburban soul. Mark Johnson Del Mar Terrace

Pot shop coming to your neighborhood Despite the best efforts of members of the Torrey Pines Community Planning Board, both the San Diego City Council and Development Services (DSD) have approved a Medical Marijuana Dispensary (MMD) for Sorrento Valley. The MMD will be located in a commercial office building on Roselle Street, south of the railroad crossing. Based upon land use restriction, 1,000 feet from schools and parks, three other pot shops could be located on Roselle or Sorrento Valley Blvd. The City Planning Commission has established a safety criteria for these MMDs, which include two armed guards, metal detectors, bullet-proofing both interior walls and adjacent tenant walls, and a vault/safe room to hide in. Since all transactions are cash and their product is a federally banned narcotic, these MMDs are a prime target for robbery by force. Rob a bank and the FBI gets involved. Rob a pot shop is only a local matter. The Planning Commission has approved several MMDs, the first one in Otay Mesa shopping mall. The pot shop gets 15 carloads of “clients” per hour, 14 hours per day, seven days a week. Observation of the Otay Mesa shop indicates most clients are young males. Please remember that the state law for medical marijuana was for use by “seriously ill people.” The MMDs do not have to disclose where the marijuana came from or how concentrated the active ingredient may be. MMDs can sell cookies/brownies and marijuanalaced products. There will be one final appeal before the San Diego Planning Commission at a future date. Do you really want a pot shop that is within easy driving distance from our high schools? Really seriously ill folks have more than 200 delivery services that provide pot by just picking up the phone. MMDs are a big business, and the city wants its fees. Contact Council President Sherri Lightner (sherrilightner@sandiego.gov) and tell her “no pot shops in Sorrento Valley.” Dennis Ridz, member of the Project Review Committee for Torrey Pines Community Planning Board

NORTH COAST - OCTOBER 1, 2015 - PAGE A19

United by commitment, North Coast-Powered By Optimism walks for the cure BY KAREN BILLING You might have seen them on the coast, walking in a pack, wearing lots of bright pink gear and on at least one Saturday, wearing funky bras on the outside of their shirts and in some cases, on top of their heads. They have fun and they can be silly, but their cause is important and their commitment is fierce. The walking crew is Powered by Optimism, a North Coast-based team in training for the Susan G. Komen 3-Day, coming up on Nov. 20-22. The team is known as Powered by Optimism because they know deep down in their hearts that there will be a cure. They walk because they cannot walk away. From a small initial group of walkers six years ago, the group has grown to 121 members this year, 75 percent of whom are walk veterans. Since 2010, they have touched the lives of more than 250 team members, and in their sixth year will have raised $1,041,803. The team has raised more money than any other team in San Diego for the past three years. “They’re a family; I can’t explain what it was that drew me to them,” said Carmel Valley team member Clockwise from above, PBO in and four-time 3-Day walker Joanne Max. “I thought Encinitas, PBO at Torrey Pines and I’d only do it once, but the team camaraderie is so fab- PBO doing Crazy Bra. Courtesy ulous and you meet so many fantastic people.” photos As Max said, it’s not easy to train to walk 60 miles in three days or to raise the required $2,300 apiece. But it’s not as hard as a diagnosis or chemotherapy or daily radiation or reconstructive surgery. Powered by Optimism was founded by Oceanside resident Amy Benoit. She did the 3-Day for the first time in 2008, as a close friend was battling breast cancer. “I just felt so hopeless. I felt like I wanted to do something to help the fight and bring recognition to the cause,” Benoit said. Sadly, one month after completing her first 3-Day, her friend passed away. “I continue to walk for her,” Benoit said. “And my list of people that I walk for keeps growing and growing.” Benoit had been part of a team for her inaugural walk, and it had been a wonderful experience but the team had disbanded by the next year. In 2009, she did the Seattle 3-Day and trained on her own. She knew if she did the walk again, she wanted to have that team feeling back, so she founded Powered by Optimism. “I just decided, I’m going to start a team and invite all my friends to walk with me and see who joins in. That first year, we had 23 people and they were not all my friends,” Benoit said. “It just grew from there.” Susan G. Komen trains people to be walk leaders and provides a sample training plan, which Benoit stuck close to. To spice things up, she found that when she gave fun and silly themes for training walks, attendance would go up. Training for the 3-Day is a big commitment so it’s important to drive the “fun factor” up, she said. “Once the mileage starts getting up there, it’s pretty much an all-day thing,” Benoit said. “Walking 15 miles takes a long time.” So PBO has theme weekends like the “Crazy Bra Walk,” which took place on Aug. 29, and the upcoming “Guacamole Walk,” a 15-mile outing that begins in Oceanside and ends at El Callejon in Encinitas, where members can “hydrate” before hopping the train back up to Oceanside. Benoit said being a PBO leader is almost like a second full-time job, doing all of the planning and coordinating. But she has learned a lot over the years, trekking all over Carlsbad, Encinitas, Cardiff, Solana Beach and Del Mar — such as that Moonlight Beach has the best and largest restroom pit stop. “You don’t think about things like that until you have 30 people that need to use the restroom at the same time,” Benoit said. PBO co-captain Martin Heflin of Rancho Bernardo will be walking for his seventh year this year. He began walking as he had recently retired and wanted to get some good exercise while raising money for a good cause. After that first year, he was hooked and has gone on to serve as a crew volunteer for 3-Day Walks in San Francisco, Boston, Minneapolis-St. Paul and Seattle. He became a Powered by Optimism co-captain in 2010. “I think what really made it so successful was Amy,” Heflin said. “She put together great training walks that interest and attract people. And people gravitate toward this team. I think there’s a cachet to want to be a part of the largest fundraising team. “It is a really great group of people; it became more than just getting together for the 3-Day. It became a family,” Heflin said. Benoit said many members have been teammates for four or five years, so there is a lot of excitement to see each other once training begins. Lots of team members also meet up and stay connected during the “off-season.” “To see year after year the impact it has, on new people and people who have done it before is what makes it so special to me,” Benoit said. “To be able to watch people change …for some people it’s a way to heal and become more confident and I’m addicted to that. I thrive on that. It’s the overall satisfaction you get from being a part of something that is so meaningful to them.” Officially the group starts training in April, with shorter weekday walks and long walks on the weekends. PBO hosted a “Mini 3-Day” walk over the three-day Labor Day Weekend, and the longest training walk is an 18-mile walk from Oceanside to Solana Beach. “The first year I was walking six times a week — I was so nervous I wasn’t going to be able to do it,” Max said. “But it was a breeze because I was so well prepared.” Max said this year she is walking three to five times a week and participates in the big group weekend walks.

Each day of the 3-Day features a significant hill: Day one it’s Torrey Pines, day two it’s Naragansett Street in Point Loma, and day three it’s “Juan Hill” in Old Town. PBO tries to work the hills into their training walks so that walkers have the assurance they’ve done it before and will live — they’ll hit Juan Hill on Halloween weekend. Max said PBO is the most embracing team of people, offering more than just physical prep but lots of support and ideas for fundraising. The team has helped each other raise funds through golf outings and garage sales, casino nights and Max’s favored method, recycling, which pulls double duty raising money for the cause and helping the environment. San Diego is home to the biggest 3-Day event in the country with 29,000 walkers. Heflin, who has experience in other cities, said the community support in San Diego is unlike anywhere else. “In Del Mar, the whole community turns out and it just really means a lot because you have put in a lot of time for fundraising and training, typically walking 500 miles in preparation. It’s a big effort,” Heflin said. “To have that community support is a great feeling.” “The people cheering and thanking you for doing this is heartwarming,” echoed Max. “They say ‘Thank you’ for their mothers, for their sisters. Ever since the first year I did the walk, I haven’t gotten over that feeling — you feel like a celebrity. It’s amazing.” Heflin said he is blessed that no one in his immediate family has dealt with breast cancer, but since he has been involved with the 3-Day, he has known numerous women in the final stages of their lives. At camp, there is a Remembrance Tent filled with photos of past 3-Day walkers who have passed away after a fight with breast cancer. “Unfortunately, we’ve had team members’ photos up in that tent, and it’s the thing that keeps you going,” Heflin said. “You remember them and realize that all the blisters and the shin splints and the time away training is for a reason, and the people whose faces are reflected in that tent are the reason.” Like Heflin, Max has never been personally affected by breast cancer, it was just a cause that she became passionate about. She is not only powered by optimism but by the memory of her mother, who had multiple sclerosis and would not give up walking no matter how hard it was. “She was not going in a wheelchair,” Max said, noting she used every assistive tool she could to continue to walk for herself before she passed away. “She was a real fighter. So every time I go for a walk, I remember to be grateful. “It’s so empowering to do the Three Day and know that you’re doing something for the good of other people.” The end of the walk on the last day is special, as walkers honor the 500-member volunteer crew that has supported them through the past few days, as well as their fellow walkers. A moment is taken to recognize survivors, and walkers take one shoe off and raise it in the air. “It is a very emotional, very powerful moment. You’re physically exhausted and mentally drained and you’ve spent the last three days with people who started out as strangers but are now your friends, your family. It’s indescribable. We walk arm in arm into Petco Park, sweaty and exhausted but incredibly fulfilled.” Added Heflin, “If you have any doubt about self-worth, participate in this and realize how many people are supporting you every step of the way. It’s what keeps me coming back.” To contribute to Powered by Optimism, visit their team page at the3day.org.

Local high schoolers compete at Triathlon World Championship The Bishop’s School senior Heather Zhang and Canyon Crest Academy junior Leslie Zhang represented Team USA at the ITU Triathlon World Championship on Sept. 17 in Chicago. They were part of the USA team that earned the most medals for the final team rankings. The ITU World Championship brings together over 70 countries with elite races serving as the 2016 Rio Olympics Triathlon qualifier. Both Heather and Leslie competed in the female ages 16-19 bracket, swimming 750 meters in the 63-degree temperature of Lake Michigan, biking 20 km with a backdrop of Chicago, and finishing with a 5 km run next to Buckingham Fountain. “I felt very honored and was extremely thrilled Heather Zhang and Leslie Zhang to be racing with triathletes from all over the world, represented Team USA in Chicago. especially since USA is one of the top countries in Courtesy photo the sport of triathlon,” said Heather. “It was such a rewarding experience to be a part of and it was exciting to watch the elites race, such as Gwen Jorgensen, the world champion. Since we American athletes usually race against each other for our own placing and club points at Nationals, we felt closer to each other by being on the same team for once.” Before the competition, an opening ceremony was held, preceded by the Parade of Nations. Team USA suited up in their team uniforms and marched around Buckingham Fountain with other countries. “I have been looking forward to the grand gathering since last August when we qualified for the Worlds at age group Nationals in Milwaukee,” said Leslie. “Needless to say, we are so privileged to represent USA on our home soil. It was such an unforgettable experience to race with girls our ages from all around the world and see how much the sport of triathlon has grown throughout the years. I am so glad to have gotten this opportunity to compete in a world championship as well as having the ability to watch the elite race live. “Before the race, one girl from New Zealand asked me where I was from. Her face lighted up immediately when I told her I was from San Diego, and said, ‘That is the birthplace of triathlon, lucky you!’ Triathletes, young and old, from all over the world are united by a sport that was originated from my home town. How cool is that?” Both Heather and Leslie have been competing in triathlons since middle school and they train with Formula Endurance, a USA Triathlon High Performance Team that is coached by former World Champion and professional triathlete Jim Vance. They practice in many locations around San Diego, including Fiesta Island, Mount Soledad and Coronado.

North Coast Aquatics hosts season opener North Coast Aquatics hosted an Internal Time Trials meet on Sept. 18-19 at Alga Norte Community Park in Carlsbad. More than 260 NCA swimmers from the La Jolla Jewish Community Center and Alga Norte Community Park competed together in their traditional green swim caps. A big goal for this meet was to push swimmers to race in events they had not yet attempted. Coach Rob Mackle, the lead 11-14 L-R: Dylan Murphy and Nina Borcalli at the meet. Courcoach, talked to the 11- and tesy photo 12-year-old swimmers at several pre-practice meetings about the importance of trying new races. Coach Rob’s guiding talk paid off, as about 118 swimmers recorded a time in an event they had never swam at a meet. “Over 234 new times were accomplished … This develops NCA swimmers into a total swimmer, racing and competing to accomplish times in all USA swimming events,” he said. Coach Rob was quick to applaud four swimmers — Ian Sanchez, Joey Cairns, Brigid O’Reilly and Emily Broberg — who all swam the 400 Individual Medley (IM) and the 500 freestyle for the first time. On the younger side of the team, many 10-and-under swimmers pushed each other to achieve faster times. Coach Kathrine Warren, lead 10-and-under coach, said younger swimmers were dropping anywhere from half a second to even 45 seconds in one swimmer’s 100 free. Despite the fun atmosphere, NCA coaches know that it is still crucial to place emphasis on not only swimming fast, but swimming fast with great technique. “So often we forget it is the little things that make the big difference. The sooner we can ingrain good habits, the better we can set them up for success,” said Warren. NCA’s 14 and under swimmers got another chance to race fast on Sept. 26 at the Pacific Swim Freestyle Festival and will do the same at the Oct. 10 CAST 14 and under pentathlon.

Poway junior varsity defeats Falcons, 14-7 BY WALTER BAYS The JV Falcons fell to visiting Poway 14-7 at their most recent game. After a scoreless first quarter, the Titans got on the board capping a drive from their own 17 with a 34-yard touchdown pass. Poway had good field position to increase their lead but stalled at the Falcon 25. They went for it on fourth and 4, and came up short against a tackle by Drew Kali. Torrey Pines finally got its offense untracked with just 1:30 left in the half on the running of Jacob Leone and quarterback Chris Temby, and receptions by Peter Nelson and Ryan Cesari. But with first and goal at the Titan 8-yard line, the half ran Jack Nelson scored a 38-yard touchdown run. Photo by out. Walter Bays. In the second half, Torrey Pines was marching again when Jack Nelson took a handoff, got a block, broke a tackle and sprinted 38 yards to the end zone to tie the game 7-7. On the next series, when Peter Nelson intercepted near midfield, it looked like the Falcons’ chance to go ahead. Facing fourth and 14, Torrey Pines lined up in punt formation, then the “kicker,” Gunnar Braun, passed to Parker Williams for a first down at the Titan 33. Under strong pressure, Temby was intercepted and Poway drove 53 yards to go ahead 14-7 for the win.

foot public space in the southwest corner. If all goes according to schedule, Del Mar’s facilities will be demolished in early 2016, with the new city hall and town hall under construction in mid-2016. City administrative offices and council chambers will be temporarily relocated during that time to modular buildings in the lower parking lot of Del Mar Shores Park. From walls to windows, workshop attendees provided input on the latest project design plans. Project architects presented the most upto-date plans, a month after hearing concerns from community members about the project’s direction during a Design Review Board meeting. In an effort to design something that aligns with Del Mar’s community character, the design team drew inspiration from the city’s “natural textures” and other buildings in the community, said Mike Jobes, principal with The Miller Hull Partnership. The latest plans included features such as an anchor wall in town hall. The wall, which Jobes said would serve as a backdrop to council members and presenters, was favorably received by the public. The type of roof for the buildings, however, was the single-most discussed topic, Jobes said. In an attempt to maintain views and maximize functionality, the design team proposed a tipped roof that would run parallel to the upslope views of the Pacific Ocean. But many attendees disliked the idea and favored a gable roof, or steeply pitched roof, like those found in a number of downtown buildings such as L’Auberge Del Mar. After further discussion, residents seemed to settle on a hip roof for town hall, a type of roof where all sides slope downwards to the walls, usually with a fairly gentle slope. “I learned that showing some in-progress sketches wasn’t maybe such a great approach,” Jobes said at the end of the workshop. “A lot of the design elements that we’re imagining and we’re working on right now weren’t depicted well.” Attendees also looked at the landscape design plans for the project. “We had pretty good consensus about a number of things between the three groups,” said Andrew Spurlock of landscape architecture firm Spurlock Poirier. He noted that attendees focused on plaza uses, materials and trees. There was a general consensus that the weekly Del Mar Farmers Market should take place on the lower surface parking lot, rather than on the plaza. However, people said that the material that makes up the lot should be easy to clean and that the lot should be divided from nearby residents. Those affiliated with the market expressed concerns about visibility and said that some aspect of the market should take place on the plaza. Market operators also requested access to the lower lot from 10th Street. Some expressed interest in bringing the Alvarado House to the expansion area south of the parking lot. As for the plaza, Spurlock said attendees were divided on features but shared “the desire to have something that is an attractive use or a comfortable use so it brings people to the plaza.” Possible features included a fire pit, water feature and plantings. Most agreed that plantings and seating should be placed along the outside of the plaza, Spurlock said, while plantings and furniture inside the plaza should be movable to keep the space flexible. Spurlock said there was strong opinion that there should be at least one Torrey pine

on the site. There should also be smaller-scale trees along the edge of the plaza for shade. Finally, attendees also provided input on the draft environmental impact report for the project, which is now available for review. As part of the required California Environmental Quality Act review, the city’s consulting firm RECON Environmental, prepared the report. According to the environmental analysis, air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, land use, traffic agriculture and forestry resources, biological resources, hazards and hazardous materials, mineral resources, geology and soils, hydrology and water quality, population and housing, public services, recreation, and utilities and service systems, would not be significantly affected by the project. The report, however, found a few areas that could be significantly affected and require mitigation. These include the cultural resources of the project site and temporary relocation site, including improvements to the driveway at the Shores property. Other effects that require mitigation include noise from construction and operation at both sites, as well as aesthetics, including landscaping, building features, and light and glare. Finally, the report also found that the impacts to the aesthetics of the project site — with construction of the building pad in the northeastern part of the property on the civic plaza — would be significant and unmitigable. RECON also considered project alternatives that would lessen or avoid impacts. These include no redevelopment or new development of the existing properties. A reduced project alternative suggested removing the parking spaces along the western perimeter in the surface parking lot, as well as no expansion of the building pad. As for the temporary site, the report suggested holding public hearings at Powerhouse Community Center or the Winston School. Temporary facilities could also be placed on the upper Shores Park property. The city could also temporarily house its administrative offices at commercial properties. “The community really did have a good sense of what the environmental impact was about,” said Bobbi Herdes of RECON, adding that community members discussed relocation site alternatives, construction impacts and potential mitigation measures, such as installing a noise barrier early in the process. Released Sept. 11, the report will be available for a 45-day public comment period. It is available on the city’s website at www.delmar.ca.us/cityhall. Copies are also available to review at city hall and the Del Mar Library. Comments must be submitted in writing to the city by 5 p.m. Oct. 26 to 1050 Camino del Mar or emailed to cityhallceqa@delmar. ca.us. Del Mar initiated the city hall planning process in June 2013. Since then, the council has discussed the project at dozens of council meetings, held four public workshops, issued a citywide survey and launched an online poll. “We are moving in to finalizing the design, if we can, and trying to perfect it,” said Mayor Al Corti. “It’s been a year and a half of hearing a lot of public comments. It’s moved to this point, and I think the architects, the landscape consultants and the other professionals need to hear our input and give it their best shot. “I didn’t expect to be wowed, but I think the next time I do. We’re at that point.” Thus far, Corti said much of the focus

and comments have been on the city hall building, when the town hall was promised to be the “iconic building.” Mosier agreed, adding that city hall is intended to serve as a functional office space for city employees. “I think there’s been a lot of emphasis on design features that are more importantly applied to (town hall) than to city hall,” he said. “I want this to be a modern building that functions well for our employees, to be naturally ventilated, to be very energy efficient. When you start talking about full Craftsman style, with small windows and hip roofs, you lose all those opportunities.”

LUNCH

Noting the city’s budget and height limitations, Mosier acknowledged that the design team is “working under a lot of constraints.” “I trust the design team,” he said. “I think they really listen to the community well — that’s why we chose them. I think they’re fulfilling that promise. But I think some of the expectations are both unrealistic in terms of the function of that building and unrealistic in terms of architectural compatibility with the rest of the community. “We’ve got a good team, but we need to work with that team. In this kind of project, nobody gets everything they want, but everybody gets something they want.”

DMUSD has logistical challenges for a vendor to stick to the NSLP requirements. “Our biggest hurdle is that we don’t have warming kitchens,” DMUSD Superintendent Holly McClurg said, noting that in addition to having no kitchen facilities on campuses, they are also challenged by the fact that they serve meals outside rather than inside, which comes with its own set of requirements. Birks said online ordering is a big plus for families and will be a criteria the district looks for in a new provider as well as the cost: it is a requirement of the cafeteria fund that the program be cost neutral. DMUSD board member Scott Wooden asked if the district would be able to cast a wider net if they were not part of the NSLP, resulting in possibly more bids to choose from and a lower cost as he said $5.50 is getting expensive. “The higher the cost goes, more people will drop out and we will not have the income to make it sustainable,” Wooden said. McClurg said she knows of no public school district that doesn’t comply with NLSP.

provements,” said Solana Beach City Engineer Mo Sammak. “We learned that combining those improvements would benefit the city at large, as compared to the city going out and doing a separate contract.” The Solana Beach council previously approved a $265,000 contract with Infrastructure Engineering Corporation for the project design. With the vote, the council authorized an additional $50,000 for added design work, including the design of the recycled water fill station along Via de la Valle and the preparation of traffic control plans. The project is estimated to cost more than $2 million, with design costs expected to total $315,000 and construction expected to cost $1.7 million. To cover some of the costs, San Elijo Joint Powers Authority is reimbursing $23,770 in design costs and is applying for a grant that would put an additional $600,000 toward the project. The Santa Fe Irrigation District has also verbally offered $50,000 toward the project, with the agreement expected to go to before the board in October. The estimated construction costs in-

ARTIST phasizes the importance of being grateful and helping others. The book focuses on a little girl who gets advice from a princess who pops up in the most unexpected places. A follow-up to the book, “The Princess in My Teacup Returns,” was later published. The story was inspired by an encounter Huss had with a little girl at Honeys Bistro & Bakery in Encinitas. “The little girl walks by and she was in a long dress,” Huss explained with a smile. ‘I looked at her and I said, ‘Oh, a princess.” She looked at me and she said, ‘A queen!’” Many of Huss’ stories are inspired by life experiences or simple ideas. A book called “One Green Omelet, please!” was written after a tip to Honeys — one of her favorite restaurants. The book teaches children about mindful eating. The books are intended for children

clude building four lateral extensions at South Cedros Avenue, Solana Circle Drive, Del Mar Downs and Pimlico Drive, which Sammak said total about $500,000. He said the laterals would generate a total of 35 acrefeet of water per year with payback at about $17,000 per year. Although the council appropriated funds for the total cost of the project, council members questioned whether the lateral extensions would benefit the city. “I can’t even begin to imagine spending a half-million dollars without some level of commitment that it was going to generate a return,” said Deputy Mayor David Zito. Because the lateral extensions will be incorporated into the construction contract as alternate bid items, the council can decide later whether to move forward with all, some or none of the laterals. “The appropriation is needed for us to be able to commit to Del Mar that we have the money to pay for these things,” Sammak said. “We have the right to reject any of those laterals, if we decide to do it, because it’s built into the contract.”

ages 2 to 8. Most of the books are written in rhyme. All of the books focus on core values and life skills. They also feature certificates for children that recognize the lessons they learned by reading the book. “I love to write them,” Huss said. Print and electronic versions of the books are available on Amazon. Aiming to appeal to a wider audience, Huss is creating multicultural versions of her children’s books with new pictures and translated text. She also hopes to eventually bring her books to Head Start programs and book fairs at schools across the country. “I hope children enjoy the books and pick up the little messages that are planted in them,” she said.

Del Mar Fairgrounds to be Local Rotarians help connect Afghan site for first Rotary Millions students to rest of world via technology For HOPE gala Oct. 17 BY KRISTINA HOUCK From eradicating polio to promoting peace, local Rotarians have left a lasting impact on lives around the world. To continue to change lives, Rotary District 5340 is hosting its first-ever Millions For HOPE Gala Oct. 17 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Fund will benefit the Rotary Foundation, the charitable arm of Rotary International, a service organization of approximately 1.2 million people in 34,000 clubs around the world. “The Rotary Foundation is a foundation from which Rotarians all over the world contribute to participate in projects and the good works that Rotary does,” said Janice Kurth, governor of Rotary District 5340, which includes more than 3,100 Rotarians in 67 clubs in San Diego and Imperials counties. “Our district is very involved in projects locally and internationally. We’re very connected. We’re a tight network of people that work together, play together and do great things in the world together.” The gala will celebrate the conclusion of the district’s Millions For HOPE (Health, Overcoming Poverty and Education) campaign. Launched in July 2014, the campaign aims to raise $15 million to support the Rotary Foundation. Grants from the foundation empower Rotarians to approach challenges such as poverty, illiteracy and malnutrition with sustainable solutions. “This is the first time this has ever been done in the Rotary world,” Kurth said. “Nobody’s ever embarked on a campaign this big before.” The district’s former governor, Louise Andres, ini-

Rotary International President K.R. “Ravi” Ravindran will speak at the gala. Courtesy photo tially came up with the concept for a million-dollar campaign. The campaign eventually grew into a multiyear project with a much larger goal. “It’s a huge honor to be a part of the district that has undertaken this great cause,” said La Jolla resident Kurth, a former Del Mar Heights resident who has been a member of the Rotary Club of Del Mar since 2004. “I’ve personally been involved in quite a few projects in multiple countries throughout the world that have been partly funded by funds from the Rotary Foundation. To be able to continue doing those projects means everything to me and Rotarians all over the world.” With the fundraising campaign set to end in October, event organizers plan to share the campaign totals at the gala. The gala begins at 6 p.m. with a no-host reception at the Mission Tower at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. See GALA, page B13

BY KRISTINA HOUCK For more than a decade, local Rotarians have helped build a bridge between Afghans and Americans. Launched by La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary Club, Afghan Youth Connect brings students from both countries together through technology. “It breaks down barriers,” said Del Mar resident and local Rotarian Steve Brown. “This is fighting the War on Terror through humanitarian and educational programs.” A longtime member of La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary Club, Brown helped spearhead the program with the support of fellow Rotarian Fary Moini and other Rotarians. One of the dozens of Rotary-sponsored programs in Afghanistan, Afghan Youth Connect came about after the club’s foundation funded the Rotary School of Jalalabad. Opened in April 2004, the school was funded in part by a grant from the Rotary Foundation, the charitable arm of Rotary International, a service organization of approximately 1.2 million people in 34,000 clubs around the world. A portion of the funds furnished and equipped a 10-station computer lab at the school. Rotarian Cynthia Villis helped secure grants from the U.S. Department of State’s Bureau of Educational and Cultural Affairs, so the club, in 2008, could cover the cost of Internet installation, Internet service and instructor salaries. The additional funding also helped the program expand from one computer lab to five computer labs. “The program became so successful, as we applied for additional grants, we proposed to add other schools,” Brown explained. “We kept adding schools and adding schools.”

Rotarians Steve Brown and Fary Moini with students in Afghanistan. Courtesy photo After the first major attack by the terrorist group ISIS, took place in Afghanistan earlier this year, Brown wanted to do more. The April suicide bombing killed at least 33 people and injured another 100 in the east Afghan city of Jalalabad. La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary Club had previously brought the program to all but three public schools in Jalalabad. After the attack, Brown decided to personally fund the program at the remaining three schools, totaling about $34,000 annually. “We can now say we have all the public schools in this program,” said Brown, a retired attorney who has lived in Del Mar for more than 35 years. A Rotarian since 1986, he has served as vice chair and trustee of the Rotary Foundation. “It’s my personal response to ISIS,” Brown added. “ISIS wins hearts and minds through lack of education, lack of information. We’ve got all the public schools covered, so we’re doing what we can.” Launched in 2008, Afghan Youth Connect aims to engage students in Afghanistan with students around the world. The program also helps Afghan students develop information technology skills and promoted good citizenship skills. Although five high schools were originally selected for the program, at the request of the Afghan government and as additional funds became available, all 20 public high schools in Jalalabad have since become part of the program.

schools are equipped with fully furnished computer labs, which includes a habitable classroom, 10 to 20 computers, professional trainer, electricity, Internet connectivity, desks and chairs, supplies, software and security bars. Students learn basic word processing, spreadsheet and digital presentation skills. They practice Internet-based searches and use email and social media. They also learn English as part of the curriculum. Students use a closed, moderated Facebook group and Ning.com to communicate with each other, with students in other Jalalabad high schools and with students in other countries. Skype conference calls between students in Jalalabad and students in other countries have fostered discussion on a variety of student-selected topics, including academic issues, gender-related issues, civic responsibilities, current events and more. Afghan Youth Connect students have Skyped with students in the U.S., Canada, India and Pakistan. “By far, the most satisfying part of the program is the engagement with the Afghan people,” said Brown. He and Moini have made a combined 35 project oversight trips to Jalalabad in the last 10 years. “Some of these people are the most thoughtful, caring people you could ever know.” The program also promotes civic responsibility by involving students in comSee ROTARIANS, page B13

WoW! Theater fest returns to La Jolla Playhouse, Oct. 9-11 BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT WoW — the acronym stands for Without Walls, La Jolla Playhouse’s adventurous program that brings theater beyond the confines of buildings and into the wide world outside. It started in 2011 with “Susurrus,” an iPod play with music that was also a stroll through the San Diego Botanic Garden. Each year brought new site-specific experiences — “The Car Plays” in the Playhouse parking lot, a Greenwich Village nightclub act in Hillcrest, a play-along street theater/walking tour of Little Italy, and in 2013, the first WoW festival, four days of special events staged by local, national and international artists that turned the Playhouse Theatre District into Festival Village. Now it’s festival time again, and Oct. 9-11 will bring in a range of attractions, including drama, comedy, dance, music, puppets, and audience participation. A number of events are free and family-friendly — there’s even a special Family Day on Oct. 10. This year’s centerpiece is “Healing Wars,” a mixed-media dance/drama that explores the physical and psychological wounds of war, from the U.S. Civil War to the seemingly endless battles around the world today. The piece, which premiered last year at the Arena Stage in Washington, D.C., was created by multiple-award-winning choreographer Liz Lerman in response to the 150th anniversary of the Civil War. Called “powerful,” “stunning,” and “utterly original,” it will have an extended run through Oct. 25. Another must-see is “The Spheres” by Strange Fruit, an Australian troupe that has achieved near-cult status with its haunting aerial dance works. This one, billed as a tale of transformation and wonder, features large, glowing globes and graceful performers atop swaying 14-foot poles. And that’s just the tip of the WoW-berg. There’s “Ojo: The Next Generation of Travel,” a 75-minute “perspective-altering adventure” by Pittsburgh’s Bricolage Production Company; and “A Flock of Flyers,” hailed as “a Canadian contemporary classic,” in which a flight squadron, left plane-less by budget cuts, manages to continue training with a series of tightly choreographed Monty Python-esque maneuvers that have delighted audiences around the world. There will also be offerings from local theaters, like Ion, Moxie, and Sledgehammer, as well as The Trip, an alt-theater company known for putting a wildly contemporary spin on classic plays. At the first WoW Fest, they re-imagined Thornton Wilder’s “Our Town” as a backyard BBQ. This time, they’re staging Chekhov’s “The Three Sisters” on a tennis court at The Scripps Research Institute on North Torrey Pines, a free shuttle ride from Festival Village. Tom Dugdale, The Trip’s co-founder, director, play-adapter and composer, is an awardwinning UC San Diego grad now teaching directing at Texas State University; he brought his troupe there to work on the show. How did he come up with the idea of Chekhov on the court? “Tennis is very specific to San Diego and La Jolla; it captures the idea of leisure, and it’s such a fierce, well-behaved contest, with competitors expending huge amounts of energy,

One of the highlights of this year’s WoW Festival is ‘Healing Wars,’ a dance/theater piece by acclaimed choreographer Liz Lerman. Courtesy photo but always with a net they can’t cross,” he said. “I thought that was like the Three Sisters and their rivalries — fierce, but always with a veneer. They’re a protected, privileged group of people, living in a protected zone — like the tennis court.” Will the actors actually play tennis? “Some,” Dugdale said. “We’ve been working on our game!” There will also be live music, and more comic riffs than Chekhov ever imagined. “It’s a heavy piece,” Dugdale said, “but we’re mining it for its comic potential.” They’ll have an extended run, through Oct. 18. There’s lots more to the WoW Fest, including a new set of “Car Plays,” and of course, food and drink stations. Ticket prices range from free to $29. Call 858-550-1010; visit WoWFestival.org.

Funk Junkies frontwoman balances work, home, music • April Mosebrook of Solana Beach gets ‘to live the rock star dream a little’ BY KRISTINA HOUCK April Mosebrook might seem like an average mom. She’s a Girl Scout troop leader. She’s a parent volunteer. But when she’s not working or volunteering, the Solana Beach mom is fronting a local band. “It’s busy,” Mosebrook said. “But I get to do what I love.” Originally from Arkansas, Mosebrook has a Southern accent that might make some believe she is a country singer. And although Garth Brooks and Shania Twain are some of her favorite artists, she is the lead singer of the Funk Junkies, a San Diego-based band that blends rhythm and high-energy funk. “There were many times I wanted to move to Nashville and be a country singer, but I didn’t,” she said. “I’ve made a wonderful life, and I get to do it here, in the town I live in. I get to live the rock star dream a little bit. I’m pretty blessed.” Mosebrook grew up with music. Her aunt and

uncle were musicians, and she, too, developed a love of music. She learned piano as a child and played saxophone in her high school band — and sometimes still plays the sax on stage. Her voice, however, is her instrument of choice. Mosebrook sang in church as a child. When she was 8 years old, she sang “O Holy Night” during the Christmas service at her hometown church for the first time. She sang the song every year afterward until her mid-30s. “I would go back every year, no matter where I was living, for 25 years,” Mosebrook said. Mosebrook studied microbiology at the University of Arkansas, intending to go on to dental school. “I was accepted to dental school, but I didn’t know if I wanted to do that,” she recalled. “So I deferred for a year.” During that time, for six months, she lived in Austria, where she sang at a

Courtesy photos theme park. “It was wonderful,” said Mosebrook, who also previously performed at a New Jersey resort one summer while in school. “I wouldn’t trade it for the world.” The experience encouraged her to take a different path. She instead interviewed with two pharmaceutical companies, accepting a position as a pharmaceutical sales representative for Pfizer, a company for which she worked for 18 years. She recently left with a “generous” severance due to a downsizing of her division. “I am very grateful for my career with Pfizer, which brought me so many wonderful things,” she said. “And now I am grateful for this gift that will allow me to start over, figure out what will make me happy and hopefully follow my passions.” Mosebrook’s career took her to Florida for several years, and then to La Jolla, where she lived until she relocated to Solana Beach two years ago. She lives in the coastal city with her partner, Dr. Stuart Kipper, known as “Kip,” and her 9-year-old daughter, Mia. “But my love for singing obviously never went away,” Mosebrook said. While she’s established a successful career in sales, she has also established a name

on stage. She’s been a part of several bands over the years. The Funk Junkies is her third band in San Diego. Founded at the start of 2013, the seven-piece band performs a variety of disco, funk and R&B tunes, from chart-toppers by Aretha Franklin to hits by The Rolling Stones. “This band I’m in now is the best mix,” she said. “It’s the best fit for me.” The band members all have full-time jobs, but practice most Thursday nights and perform about once a month. “It’s just enough where we have a great time but not be too stressful,” she said. “I have to make a living, and I have to be a mom and a partner, and that’s No. 1.” The Funk Junkies recently performed during a fundraiser for local schools at the Belly Up Tavern. It was the third consecutive year the band took the stage to raise funds for the PTA of Skyline and Solana Vista schools. Mosebrook’s daughter, Mia, who turns 10 in OctoSee MUSIC, page B13

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Therapeutic Literacy Center in SB helps children correct learning difficulties BY DIANE Y. WELCH If your child has difficulties with learning, is slow to complete homework, or just can’t keep up with the other students in class, help is close by. The Therapeutic Literacy Center in Solana Beach has a team of experts, headed by owner Maria Bagby, that offers affordable specialized programming custom-designed for each child. Since the center’s opening in 2013, successes have been evident. “We have officially helped seven children exit special education in the last year,” said Bagby, a former kindergarten teacher who earned her first master’s degree in early childhood psychology from the University of New Mexico, Albuquerque. “And many others have turned around their process, potentially becoming special ed but then instead ending those processes (to enter into special education) because they no longer needed them.” Due to this success, the center has become renowned as a deficit specific treatment center for both auditory processMaria Bagby runs the ing disorder (APD) and attention deficit disorder (ADD). Fifty percent of children diagnosed with ADD in truth Therapeutic Literacy have APD, said Bagby. Often they have a hidden deficit of Center in Solana Beach. cognitive processing for which they cannot be medicated. “But we can change the way that processing happens and we have been very successful at fixing that.” The center partners with audiologists, psychiatrists and psychologists, which further helps the children in “gaining their self-regulation and attention,” said Bagby. Her work is carried out by a team of professionals; the center has 17 highly-trained clinicians with a clinical director and an assessment director on staff. Due to its reputation the center is growing rapidly. It has expanded twice since its opening and is already running out of room.

Its philosophy that all learning problems are temporary resonates with parents and their children. “I think it is commonly misunderstood that you cannot correct underlying learning difficulties, especially in schools,” said Bagby. In a traditional school setting, teachers are not trained to give children individualized learning programs. “Their belief is that we have to live with what we are born with and find ways to accommodate it,” she added. “We go underneath to those underlying layers to see why, and what is the specific deficit and what is the recommendation for fixing it so that children may become independent See CENTER, page B19

Local designer’s handbag business off to strapping start

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Since officially launching her name-based handbag line last fall, local designer Zaneta Owens has quickly become a local name. “I’m thankful that people in San Diego have supported me,” Owens said. “I’m getting great positive feedback.” Launched last November, the Zaneta Owens Collection is a high-end luxury lifestyle handbag brand with a beginning in North County San Diego. A Poway High School alumna, Owens always wanted to own her own business. She just didn’t know what she wanted to sell. The fashion-focused entrepreneur decided on bags while studying business at San Diego State University. She remembers spotting others holding the same Steve Madden handbag at an event. “It was so annoying,” recalled Owens, who graduated from SDSU with a bachelor’s degree in business in 2009. “Everybody had the bag.” Although she came up with the concept, Owens didn’t pull everything together until she beefed up her business resume.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to speak at Coastkeeper gala Oct. 28 Waterkeeper Alliance president Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. will give the keynote address at San Diego Coastkeeper’s 18th annual Seaside Soiree, 6 p.m. Oct. 28 at Bali Hai Restaurant on Shelter Island. This year’s open-air affair marks Coastkeeper’s 20th year in its mission to protect and restore fishable, swimmable and drinkable waters to San Diego County. The benefit will include a roaming buffet, education stations, opportunity drawing and interactive setting to celebrate its accomplishments. Originally a two-person team, San Diego Coastkeeper demonstrated early success by bringing major corporations into compliance with pollution laws, reducing sewage spills in the City of San Diego and reducing countywide beach advisories. The journey began in 1995 when San Diego Coastkeeper emerged as the 15th Waterkeeper organization in the country, focusing on community-based advocacy. As the founder of the global Waterkeeper Alliance, which connects and supports local Waterkeeper programs to provide a voice for waterways and their communities worldwide, Kennedy was present at the organization’s launch 20 years ago. Now one of Time magazine’s “Heroes for the Planet,” Kennedy will revisit those early victories and look to the future of the locally based Waterkeeper model. Gala tickets are $100-$500 and available at sdcoastkeeper.org

Art lecture series goes ‘Pop!’ in October FROM ATHENAEUM REPORTS History lecturer Derrick Cartwright, Ph.D., will present a four-part series of pop art discussions at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesdays in October at Athenaeum Music & Arts Library, 1008 Wall St. “Notes on Pop, 1910-1990: A Short History of a Long Cultural Phenomenon,” will consider pop art as something more than just an American movement of the 1960s. Today, almost everyone recognizes the paintings of Andy Warhol or the sculpture of Claes Oldenburg as a historical (and powerful) critique of consumerism during the Great Society. But how were these works viewed at the time? And what can be gained by looking at pop art as a 20th-century-long, global phenomenon? Series tickets are $50 members/$70 nonmembers; single lectures are $14 members/$19 nonmembers. RSVP: 858-454-5872 or ljathenaeum.org/art-history-lectures.

The current bass player is relocating to Florida. “That will be a little bit of growing pains, but hopefully, we’ll be able to continue on just as strong,” Mosebrook said.

munity projects. Funded by small grants, the projects range from beautifying school grounds to distributing food to families in need. “It’s a student-centric program,” he said. “Other students in their school see what these students are doing and they want to become part of something like that as well.” Since its inception, Afghan Youth Connect has directly engaged a total of 11,523 Afghan students, including 6,255 males and 5,268 females, as well as an additional 9,030 observers. More than 2,000 students directly participate in the program. At the request of Jalalabad educational authorities, Brown said an additional 4,500 Afghan students visit the classrooms each year to observe instruction and lab activities. Now in its eighth year, it costs $175,000

annually to operate Afghan Youth Connect. Brown hopes the program continues for many years to come, but funding is needed. Although public grants were readily available at the start of the program, it has been funded by a private donor for two years. There is only enough funding to continue the program through the end of this school year. “Afghanistan is in a serious state of transition,” Brown said. “The last thing we want to do is shut down a program that’s providing students access to the outside world and the ability to connect with U.S. students. “We know what we get for it,” Brown added. “We have documented results.” For more about the program or to donate, visit www.ljgtrotaryclubfoundation. org.

Del Mar Foundation celebrates donors and volunteers Celebrate Community, an annual event recognizing Del Mar Foundation donors and volunteers, brought together all ages on Sept. 27. The event at the Del Mar Community Building transformed the outdoor space into a bougainvillea garden with dancing and dining outdoors. The band Strange Brew, led by Charlie Gaylord, a Founding Endowment donor and volunteer, rocked the crowd with ’80s and ’90s music. About 90 guests enjoyed the evening. Dinner, provided by El Pollo Loco, was partially underwritten by Bill and Marla Engels, longtime Foundation supporters. Thousands of volunteer hours provide the inspiration and support for the Foundation’s many programs and activities aimed at all Del Mar residents. Programs include the Summer Twilight Concerts, Bluegrass & Beyond concerts and First Thursdays, diverse events for Children, Beach Clean Ups, Meet & Greets, Parenting Workshops, and the DMF Talks speakers series.

The Dating Game: A primer on one of nature’s sweetest gifts CATHARINE KAUFMAN KITCHEN SHRINK Dates are one of the oldest tree crops, cultivated more than 6,000 years ago on the lush banks of the Nile and Euphrates Rivers. Today, dates are king of California’s Coachella Valley and one of fall’s finest bounties. Sex Life of the Date Palm The legendary Shields Date Garden orchard in Indio, Calif., just east of Palm Springs, entertains tourists with a lesson in the romance and sex life of the divine desert “drupe” (the botanical name for dates). Date palms are dioecious; that is, they have distinct male and female trees. The former produces the pollen, the latter bears the fruit. A typical commercial date garden plants a ratio of 49 to 1 girl to boy trees for each acre. In the great minority, the guy tree needs some human assistance to handle his studly pollinating duties. Ladders are fastened to the trunks during the tree’s growth, so harvesters can climb the mighty palm and

retrieve pollen from the stalks. The handlers then gingerly shake the stalks over the fertile female parts, waiting anxiously from spring to fall for the drupes to ripen. They then painstakingly handpick the ripe dates over the course of several months, as some mature quicker than others.

Dates With Benefits Dates have more fluidbalancing potassium than bananas, a rich store of dietary fiber to keep the constitution humming and put the skids on bad cholesterol, a load of immune boosting, anti-inflammatory tannins, vitamin A, beta carotene and lutein for skin and ocular health, along with B12s for vitality. Dates are rife with iron for red blood cell production, calcium, copper, manganese and magnesium for bone and muscle strengthening, and Ks for blood coagulating. They are packed in an easily digestible morsel bursting with toothsome and energy replenishing dextrose and fructose. But if you’re sugar- or calorie-con-

The Kitchen Shrink scious, eat in moderation.

No More Blind Dates Ripe dates come in Technicolors ranging from golden amber and crimson to deep, rich brown and purple. The most popular cultivated varieties are: • Deglet Noors, favored around the world and soft with a translucent, amber skin and delicate notes of honey; • Honey dates, creamy, mouthwatering, super-sweet nuggets excellent in baking, and used as a sugar substitute; • Medjools, moist and meaty with a small pit, great for snacking or stuffing as they are jumbo-sized;

River Valley Fest planned Oct. 11 to mark progress on Coast to Crest Trail The San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy will be holding its sixth annual River Valley Fest, “Connecting Communities,” on Oct. 11, 2015, at the newly renovated Morgan Run Club & Resort, 5690 Cancha de Golf in Rancho Santa Fe. An announcement will be made at the fest celebrating the completion and progress of key segments of the 70-mile Coast to Crest Trail in 2015. Tickets are $125 per person. Reservations are requested by Oct. 5 to https://goo.gl/lRn3yf.

• Small, round Barhis, with a caramel-candy essence in both texture and flavor. For a less cloying option, try the small, firm and golden Zahidis. • Khadrawis, with dark mahogany skin and supersoft flesh reminiscent of pudding.

The Perfect Date Rich and flavorful, these wonders add moisture to quick breads, scones, muffins, cookies, bars and granolas. Chopped, dried dates can even be ground into a fine flour and used as a gluten-free substitute. Dial up breakfasts by tossing them into smoothies and shakes, oatmeal and pancakes, compotes and yogurts. Dates add rich caramelized notes to sauces and dressings, chicken and seafood, taboulis, quinoa salads, pilafs and stuffings. As a snack, stuff with nuts, roll in shredded coconut or pop a couple straight up for an instant burst of energy. Cook’s Tip: Dates have a Methuselah shelf life and can be stored in the refriger-

DIVINE DATE COOKIES 3 cups rolled oats 2 1/2 cups unbleached flour 3 teaspoons baking powder 1/4 teaspoon salt 1 cup brown sugar (firmly packed) 1/2 cup melted butter 1/2 cup canola or grapeseed oil 1/2 cup almond or coconut milk

Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a large mixing bowl, combine dry ingredients. Add butter, oil, milk, extract and juice to form a dough. Take one-third of the mixture at a time and roll into a thin layer (1/4 inch) on floured board. Cut cookie shapes with a floured juice glass rim. Bake on parchment-lined cookie sheets for about 10 minutes or until golden. Let cool. For filling, cook dates along with one cup of spring water and juice of choice in a saucepan on low heat. Stir until melted and smooth. Spread filling on one cookie and top with another, making a sandwich. For additional date recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@ san.rr.com.

Going Solar: What a Possible End to Net Metering Means for You Trying to decide the best time to go solar? The short answer: Right now. Since its inception, the biggest incentive for going solar was the state-mandated arrangement called Net Energy Metering, through which utility companies such as San Diego Gas & Electric buy power produced from solar customers, allowing

customers to shrink or eliminate their electric bills altogether. But now, Net Metering rebates may be a thing of the past. Why? In part because of a recent bill signed by Governor Brown, which requires state regulators to set new rules either once rooftop solar customers’ power hits 5% of the region’s peak demand or by July 2017. San Diego is projected to be the first to reach that cap, and well before the July 2017 mark—some estimates give as early as December 2015. There is a probable new rebate model in the works, but it’s highly unlikely to be as generous as the current model, in which SDG&E buys the power surplus at the same rate it charges its highest usage tier customers—42 cents a kilowatt hour.

Proposals for a new rebate program are currently being discussed by the state Public Utilities Commission as well as utility companies and other groups. The good news is that customers who already have their solar panels installed and running should have their current program grandfathered in. Whether you are considering purchasing or leasing your solar panels, there’s no time to hesitate. Time is of the essence. To beat the clock on a net metering program expiration, you need more than just a signed contract for your system; your solar panels must be not only installed prior to the deadline but must be operating. Some contractors may take an average of 120 days from the time a contract is signed to the time the system is

installed. Demand is currently high (more solar energy is now installed in San Diego each week than in the entirety of 2008), so installation projections may vary. Net metering helps make going solar affordable. But it is also important to remember that solar power is sustainable power that you can rely on. One of the things that going solar has taught us is how we can best integrate energy consumption with environmental responsibility. Across the nation, and especially here in San Diego, we’ve proven the many successes of solar. To discuss more about the net metering program and to install before the deadlines, contact us at 858-450-9700 or visit our website at 92130.stisolarenergy.com.

A Petition for Probate has been filed

by MICHAEL MOSAKOWSKI in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN DIEGO. The petition for Probate requests that MICHAEL MOSAKOWSKI be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: 10/13/2015 Time: 11:00 am Dept.: PC-1 Address of court: 1409 Fourth Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. Attorney for Petitioner: CARON WOODWARD 105 West F Street, Suite 213 San Diego, CA 92101 858-598-5552 DM1442.

learners,” Bagby said. This approach has evolved from Bagby’s 30-year career in education being developed through decades of hands-on work in the classroom, training teachers, and expanding her own education. Bagby earned a second master’s degree in reading in the years she lived as a Dominican Sister in Grand Rapids, Mich., teaching Catholic school. She then earned her third master’s degree in curriculum and assessment and became a National Board Certified Teacher. She had the opportunity to work with the Milken Family Foundation in the development of a teacher excellence program and became a lead national trainer of Mentor and Master Teachers. Her subsequent professional endeavors include work as an academic interventionist, earning her certification in using the Orton Gillingham methodologies, and learning the Lindamood Bell programs. Bagby’s passion became remediating dyslexia, which was the catalyst for her to begin the transition into private practice outside of the system of school.

Earning her certification as an educational therapist, she was able to open up her practice in the Del Mar Corporate Center across from the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The center offers specialized programming that is short-term and individuallybased on the evaluation of specific cognitive processes behind a child’s success in reading, writing and spelling. Therapeutic instruction is offered to diagnose dyslexia, aid memory, attention, processing speed, phonemic awareness, visual processing, internal timing and organization, logic and reasoning, executive function and much more. Parents interested should contact the Therapeutic Literacy Center at 858-481-2200 or online at http://therapeuticliteracycenter. com. The center will schedule an assessment of the child. The intake process also includes a parent/client consultation, report and recommendations, and program set-up. The center is at 990 Highland Drive, Suite 106-D, Solana Beach, CA 92075.
