Del Mar Union School District’s test scores rank at top in state BY KAREN BILLING The results are in and the Del Mar Union School District learned that it has again outperformed the county and state on the 2017 California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASP) Smarter Balanced Assessments. Out of 1,088 school districts in California, the Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) ranked eighth in English language arts and fifth in math. “We are performing in the top one percent statewide, something to be very proud of,” said Shelley Petersen, assistant superintendent of instructional services. “We know it’s only one measure (of student progress) but it’s still very nice to see that.” The Smarter Balanced tests are given to students third through eighth grade and eleven. Each test, English language arts and math, is comprised of a computer adaptive test and a performance task. The test also looks at student performance in “claims,” such as reading, writing, listening, research/inquiry in English language arts and problem solving and data analysis, concepts and procedures and SEE SCORES, A29

No right turn signs approved to ease PHR through-traffic BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board approved putting another “bandaid” on Pacific Highlands Ranch’s growing traffic issues at its Oct. 26 board meeting. The board approved installing no right turn signs at the Carmel Valley Road intersections of Rancho Santa Fe Farms Road, Zinnia Hills Place and Lopelia Meadows Place, as well as Golden Cypress Place and Rancho Santa Fe Farms Road. The no right turns will be enforced Monday through Friday from 7-8 a.m. The no right turn signs were proposed by board member and Pacific Highlands Ranch Portico neighborhood resident Allen Kashani, who worked on the solution with former board member Manjeet Ranu and former San Diego City Councilmember Sherri Lightner.

Preliminary designs for the Solana 101 project call for a two-story, 95,000-square-foot mixed-use hub at the intersection of Highway 101 and Dahlia Drive in Solana Beach.

Solana 101 proposes vision for vacant lot BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Rundown buildings and bare pavement greet the eye where the Solana Beach pedestrian bridge over the rail line arches from the Cedros Design District and empties onto the intersection of Dahlia Drive and Highway 101. The nearest gathering place is several hundred yards away. Instead, there sit 1.9 acres that have over the decades housed a trailer park, gas station, electric bicycle store and drive-up coffee stand, to name a few of the parcel’s disparate, abandoned uses. The prime property on the Pacific Coast

Highway languishes in dilapidated disuse, despite being surrounded by millions of dollars in infrastructure spending. Now, after a widely panned proposal fell apart two years ago, a new plan is afoot that would turn the long-idle blight into a 95,000-square-foot hub of apartments, “creative offices,” a pair of chef-driven restaurants and specialty retail that puts a premium on walkability and community spaces. “It’s a shame to pull through Solana Beach on SEE SOLANA 101, A30

Homeowners turn the tide in Del Mar’s planning for sea-level rise BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Awash in backlash from homeowners demanding a wholesale rethink of two years work, Del Mar has changed course midstream in its plans to face the threats posed by rising oceans, narrowing beaches and increasingly severe floods. The city’s committee on sea-level rise has radically rewritten its adaptation plan, a package of recommendations that will lay the groundwork for how Del Mar sets policies and initiates responses to the pressures of climate change, from beach and bluff erosion to offshore sand deposits to controlling the channel and shoreline of the San Dieguito River. Taken together, the changes mark a pronounced shift toward the primacy of private property, and away from environmental interests — an abrupt about-face on some of the key tenets STAC had assumed when it started meeting in July 2015. Early on, STAC focused on where and how much Del Mar will be vulnerable to rising seas and river flooding. In September 2016, the committee’s consultant — Environmental S Associates — produced a first draft of the adaptation plan, with the intent that the committee would mold it to fit Del Mar. After word spread from neighbor to neighbor that the plan included property

The last three meetings of Del Mar's advisory committee on sea-level rise have been standing room only. The committee hopes to finalize its recommendations on Dec. 7. removal as an option, enraged homeowners from Del Mar’s “beach colony” — several hundred homes roughly between 15th and 29th streets — flooded the committee’s August meeting, angrily denouncing the plan’s impact on the $1 billion neighborhood. The mere mention of property removal will devastate property values in Del Mar’s priciest enclave, they say. Their outrage widened at STAC’s September meeting when it became clear that committee members were not well-versed in Del Mar’s Beach Preservation Initiative, a hard-fought 1988 referendum that both limits and guarantees homeowners’ rights to build and maintain seawalls. In the face of that outcry, STAC chairwoman

Terry Gaasterland conceded that the plan taking shape was deaf to the particulars of Del Mar’s history and topography. She and three other STAC members formed a subcommittee that spent hundreds of hours rewriting the plan to incorporate those concerns, culminating in the draft posted to the city’s website on Oct. 11. Foremost among the changes is that strategies of “planned retreat” — in which homes would be removed — have been expunged altogether. The new draft acknowledges only the possibility of relocating city-owned infrastructure, such as the fire station and sewer pump station on San Dieguito Drive or sewer lines on the bluffs — and even on that, the new draft is

“deliberately vague,” Gaasterland said. The other momentous change: the new draft redoubles Del Mar’s commitment to seawalls. Throughout its two years of work, STAC made pains to avoid and de-emphasize seawalls as much as possible. The adaptation plan now embraces the seawalls that armor nearly every inch of oceanfront from Powerhouse Park to the river mouth as essential to Del Mar’s very existence. In few other Southern California communities do homes sit directly on the beach, level with the ocean. Meanwhile, a huge swath of the 30-block area behind the oceanfront sits lower than the first row of homes — in some places by as much as 6 feet. Beach colony residents liken the predicament to Lake Pontchartrain in Louisiana — a metaphor in which Del Mar’s seawalls play the role of the dikes that had guarded New Orleans’ 9th Ward until Hurricane Katrina. Without the seawalls, residents say, the beach colony is one storm away from becoming a shallow lake. “These seawalls have been here since the ’80s and they have prevented extreme flooding events ever since the 1983 flood,” Gaasterland said. “The stand we’re taking now is that we have a 100-year-old SEE SEA-LEVEL RISE, A28

Replacing Bully’s in Del Mar will have deep impacts

BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Impacts from construction and truck access — both during construction and for deliveries once in operation — topped the concerns raised last week during Del Mar’s review of the hotly anticipated proposal by the nationally-renowned Hillstone Restaurant Group to demolish the iconic Bully’s North and replace it with an upscale restaurant twice Bully’s size. Hillstone representatives and architects laid out their 5,200-square-foot vision to the city’s Design Review Board on Oct. 25 in a nearly two-hour session that touched on details ranging from building materials and parking requirements to noise impacts and lighting scheme. While preliminary designs have been circulating since last summer, last week’s hearing was the project’s first official review — and barring appeal, will be the only review before Hillstone can get underway. Because of an error in erecting the story poles meant to depict the restaurant’s proposed dimensions, the hearing had to be continued to Nov. 15. The proposal would only go to the City Council if the DRB’s ruling is appealed, and is not subject to review by the California Coastal Commission. If approvals proceed smoothly, Hillstone anticipates breaking ground in mid-2018, followed by 18 months of construction. Bully’s North opened in 1969, two years after the original Bully’s opened in La Jolla and two years before a third Bully’s opened in Mission Valley. Escondido resident Beverly Yuhause-Becker took over all three in 1995 after the death of her father Lester Holt, who co-founded Bully’s with George Bullington. Yuhause-Becker shut down the La Jolla restaurant in 2008 and began talks with Hillstone two years ago, eventually entering into a contract to sell the land pending the project’s approval. Hillstone is a 40-year-old company based in Los Angeles that now owns and operates 48 restaurants across the country, the closest of which are in Orange County. The Del Mar outpost is envisioned along the lines of the “R+D Kitchen” concept of their Santa Monica and Fashion Island restaurants. Its dining room will feature between 62 and 68 seats, with another 28 seats at the bar and 28 more seats in an outdoor patio looking onto Camino del Mar. The back half of the single-story restaurant will be mounted on

The proposal’s most recent update includes 28 seats of patio dining facing onto Del Mar’s main thoroughfare. posts above 28 parking spaces level with the alley that runs behind the site. Because Del Mar’s stringent parking code requires 82 parking spots in all, two stories of underground parking will hold another 54 parking spaces. The proposal has evoked bittersweet feelings in Del Mar, on the one hand bringing the loss of a venerated landmark that in its half-century of serving steaks, seafood and cocktails has woven itself into Del Mar’s identity but has for more than a decade limped along, a shadow of its former glory. Demolishing Bully’s would make way for what will be downtown’s first new commercial building in more than 30 years and comes as the city embarks on a multiyear, multimillion-dollar plan to upgrade infrastructure and visitor amenities along Camino del Mar. That ambivalence came to bear at the Oct. 25 hearing as neighboring property owners gushed over the proposal’s potential to inject new life into the lagging corridor, but also showed a trepidation about what promises to be significant impacts on a small space surrounded by retail space, restaurants, offices and homes along Stratford Court. “It’s very aesthetic, it’s very elegant. One of the things that I think that they’re bringing to the area that we need is vibrancy. … Bringing something that is as high-end as what they’re doing to Del Mar is a really, really good thing and in some ways we need to celebrate that,” said Tricia Smith, who owns adjoining properties on Camino del Mar that hold

nearly a dozen tenants. “That being said, concerns.” She and several other neighbors said they worry most about the noise and structural risks of construction and the flow of heavy trucks and delivery vehicles that will access the site via Del Mar Lane, a 20-foot-wide alley onto which back numerous Camino del Mar businesses as well as a handful of homes. Hillstone believes their design will not be too disruptive and will leave room for trucks to park on-site rather than in the alley — an assessment concurred by the project’s state-mandated environmental study. But no matter how well-mitigated, DRB members said, the project is certain to bear heavily on surrounding businesses and homes. “Over 1,000 truckloads of dirt is going to be a big, big deal,” said DRB member Beth Levine. The project’s state-mandated environmental study calls for an 8-foot-tall fence to dampen noise from construction. Beyond that, DRB members were at a loss for ways to improve the situation. “Is there an easy way of mitigating construction? I don’t know of any,” said DRB member Bill Michalsky. “They have to be allowed to build these things. … There are only certain things we can really limit here if we expect a new structure to be put in place.” Michalsky floated the possibility of barring construction on weekends. Several DRB members also said they would like Hillstone to create and adhere to a detailed operations plan, both for construction and once the restaurant opens, as the city required for the Viewpoint Brewery that opened this summer. There also appeared to be consensus that the west-facing windows in the back of the restaurant ought to be fixed shut. Hillstone’s design calls for the windows facing Camino del Mar to be openable. Hillstone deliberately designed the restaurant to have only a few windows facing to the west, which they want to be able to open to improve air circulation. “They’re using all hard materials inside of this restaurant. The decibel level is going to be very high,” said DRB member John Goodkind. “If their windows open, I think every house on the other side of the alley will hear it.” The DRB is expected to issue its final ruling at the Nov. 15 meeting, which is set for 6 p.m. at Del Mar’s temporary city hall, 2010 Jimmy Durante Blvd.

Architects to begin work on new Pacific Highlands Ranch Library

BY KAREN BILLING The Pacific Highlands Ranch Branch Library project has turned a page, with architects now assigned to help bring the community’s new library to life. On Oct. 10, San Diego City Council awarded a consultant agreement with Hanna Gabriel Wells Architects for the design of the much-anticipated facility. The architects are the same designers for the new 17,000 recreation center at the community park across the street, now under construction. Jim Gabriel, a principal with Hanna Gabriel Wells, visited the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board on Oct. 26 to share that the firm is at the very beginning part of the process, which will involve community input. “We are very excited about it and are looking forward to working with your board,” Gabriel said. “The branch library that is being planned is really to

serve the greater Carmel Valley communities and to help take some of the pressure off the Carmel Valley Library, which is the busiest library in the entire library system for the city of San Diego.” Gabriel said that the location will best serve a variety of communities, right at the heart of the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch, off Village Center Loop Road just past Canyon Crest Academy and Pacific Trails Middle School. “It’s really a terrific site, right on a promenade that connects to the park,” Gabriel said. In the spring, the planning board worked to resolve a disconnect between the city and the Village over the library site. The 3-acre library site had been reserved at the Village with 1.5 acres as a civic use extension of the Village, a green space open corridor. The library

department had believed that the acreage was theirs to plan and develop. Carmel Valley Planning Board Chair Frisco White and the rest of the board strongly advocated for that acreage to remain open space. The grassy open space, just beyond where the Village’s town center plaza is now, includes plans for a dog park, trails, passive seating areas and a community garden. Gabriel said that the city is aware of the “sensitive” issue around the property and said that the city has a “very clear “ understanding that the area is meant to remain as a community asset. According to Allen Kashani, a planning board member and director of project management at Pardee Homes, the project will be fully funded in July 2018. “It seems to me we can get going as fast as we can,” Kashani said.

Board rejects report that planning boards cause delays in housing developments BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Community Planning board is responding to a recent San Diego Housing Commission report that proposed disbanding community planning groups and replacing them with a citywide board as one solution to streamline the approval process to get more homes built in the city. The report, titled “Addressing the Housing Affordability Crisis” was circulated by the housing commission on Sept. 9 and it includes solutions to meet a housing need in the city that could be up to twice as high as previously estimated. The report states that over the past decade, population growth has averaged 1.2 percent per year – more than double the rate of housing growth at 0.5 percent per year. Housing affordability is also an issue for at least half of San Diegans— 50 percent of San Diegans can’t find market-rate rental housing they can afford, while 60 percent cannot afford home ownership. To help the city meet its housing needs, the commission proposed rezoning to increase density, redeveloping underutilized parcels of land, infilling vacant lots and utilizing accessary dwelling units. The report estimates that about 40 percent of potential housing capacity exists within the neighborhoods of Mira Mesa, Mission Valley, City Heights, North Park and Uptown. In the report, planning boards are cited as one of six challenges in the housing development cycle and “major deterrents to production.” “They are saying that planning groups are an impediment to the developers and that because of the community input, there’s a

timing issue that we create,” said CV Community Planning Board Co-Chair Barry Schultz at the board’s Oct. 26 meeting. The report also states that “Community planning groups may not include the full spectrum of community views or technical professions that could assist in evaluating the impacts of development on the neighborhood.” One solution to the planning board challenge was a community planning group audit or performance review to track average review time and approval rates. In that scenario the current community planning framework would remain but there would be process improvements such as clear time frames to drive “faster decision-making”. The alternative that irked the board most was the proposal to replace planning groups with “a more centralized body that captures a diversity of neighborhood voices and technical professions in the development process.” “San Diego could aspire to change its community input framework in favor of a single representative council or, alternatively, three to five commissions that are mapped along the basis of neighborhood and economic similarities” the report stated. Schultz, who serves as the Carmel Valley representative on the city’s Community Planners Committee, said these proposals were discussed at their recent meeting. “Not only was there no support there’s really some frustration that the way in which the community planning groups are portrayed is really unfair,” Schultz said. From his perspective sitting on both the planning board and also from his time on

the San Diego Planning Commission, planning groups have always been seen as advisory, providing the information and local input for the decision-makers on the commission and City Council. “I don’t know where the report is going but I want us to make it known that community input is important,” Schultz said. “When you look at this report, it’s all about creating units. We just had a discussion about what the quality of life is in a community when you’re dealing with density. This report has no discussion about infrastructure to support that increased

density, it’s all about making it easier for the developers to develop and not having a balance. I’m not suggesting that we don’t want development but we’ve got to think about the quality of life in our communities being equally important as providing economic incentives to developers.” CV Planning Board Chair Frisco White said the Carmel Valley board has a reputation as a fair board and has very seldom denied a project. He said they are unique in their workability between the community, the board and developers, SEE HOUSING, A24

Finding Voices encourages teens to speak up about tough issues Solana Beach entrepreneur launches program as a forum to discuss youth depression, stress, anxiety BY MICHAEL J. WILLIAMS A digital media marketing consultant by trade, Solana Beach resident Shawn McClondon dedicated his prowess in recent years to helping guide youths and young adults toward career paths. While the efforts of his nonprofit Youth Campaigns have been geared toward San Diego city communities with impoverished enclaves, the 42-year-old father of two sons is now turning his attention to young people in his own town and its neighboring burghs. “Most of my experiences have been in low-income, underserved communities,” McClondon said during a recent interview at a Solana Beach coffee shop. “What I realized is there are issues with young people in affluent communities with all the pressures that they’re under to be successful.” A couple of recent incidents propelled McClondon’s decision to reach out to coastal North County youths, parents and guardians. In the early morning hours of May 6, police officers shot and killed a 15-year-old boy armed with a BB gun on the Torrey Pines High School campus. Later accounts suggest the boy may have been suicidal when he confronted the officers. Then, McClondon said, he helped out a mother in his neighborhood who was

undergoing a family crisis. She encouraged him to use his expertise in the community. “She said, ‘I know you work with young people. Do you know if there is something you can do?” Positive responses from an online outreach effort launched by McClondon led to the formation of Finding Voices with the support of Karena Fassett. McClondon hopes to create a forum through which teens can interact with each other, share their experiences and support each other. “When we talk about the issues teens have, everyone looks at the points of view of parents, counselors and professionals,” he said. “We’re trying to give young people their voice to basically help each other, so they understand that what they’re going through is the same thing that other young people are going through. Most of these kids experience depression or some sort of isolation or loneliness.” A bout with depression led 16-year-old Natalie Salgado to connect with McClondon and get involved with Finding Voices. She served as one of two teens who led the panel discussion in the group’s first formal gathering Saturday, Oct. 21, at the Solana Beach Library. “I just want to reach out to other people who have been going through the same things as me and see if I can spark an interest in other people who aren’t suffering from anxiety and depression, and let them know they could do something that would help out others who are,” said Natalie, a resident of Solana Beach’s La Colonia de Eden

Gardens. “I want to get the word out there and get rid of the stigma about teen issues,” she said. “People don’t talk about it enough, and it’s just swept under the rug.” Natalie said she didn’t understand what was happening to her early last year when she began feeling so debilitated she stopped going to her classes at Torrey Pines High. “Tenth grade was a hard year for me,” she said. “I took a really big class load, (and) an Advanced Placement class, I was copy editor for the school newspaper and I also played rugby for the school. “All those things were really overwhelming. I just wanted to be a really successful student, but all those things really exhausted me. It came to a point where I just couldn’t get out of bed in the morning.” Thanks to the support of her mother and professional intervention, she returned to

health, took online courses to complete her sophomore year and is now tackling her junior year at Coastal Academy High School in Oceanside. She as well as others among about 20 participants from Solana Beach and nearby cities such as Encinitas and Del Mar detailed their experiences in Saturday’s Finding Voices kick-off workshop. “We all shared our personal stories and how we overcame our issues, or if we’re still dealing with those issues,” Natalie said. “Overall, we were just supporting each other and explaining what we can do next. “The main goal after we share a story is to think of solutions. We hit on different ideas, like how we want to organize our groups and have more panel discussions involving parents and teens, and do a campaign on social media to show people what are the signs of depression, especially the early signs. “The problem at the schools is they have annual suicide and depression (focus) weeks that happen only once a year. Teens are going through those things a lot and there’s not enough discussion about it and how to overcome it.” Getting teens to share experiences with each other is the first step in what McClondon envisions as becoming a community-wide engagement and ultimately a national campaign. “One of the things I teach them is to utilize social media to amplify on their experiences, like getting them to use podcasts and video to tell their stories,” he said.

2017 Nierenberg Prize goes to Charles Bolden, Jr. BY WILL BOWEN The Nierenberg Prize is given out annually by Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO) and the William A. Nierenberg Family to an individual who has made an outstanding contribution to science in the public interest. The prize was “founded” in 2001, a year after the death of William Nierenberg (1919-2000), a renowned national science leader, who was also the longest serving director of SIO (1965-1986). Nierenberg, who was a professor at UC Berkeley before coming to SIO, was an expert

in several fields of underwater research and warfare, and was known for his work in low-energy nuclear physics. He was the recipient of many honors, worked on The Manhattan Project to develop an atomic bomb, and was the first chairman of NASA’s Advisory Council. His family, including his wife, son, daughter and grandchildren, set up an endowment to honor his memory and award a prize to recognize a fellow scientist who made a significant contribution to the public good.

He graduated from the U.S. Naval Academy and was a Marine Corps pilot who flew more than 100 combat missions in Vietnam. Bolden spent 34 years in the Corps, including 14 as a member of NASA’s Astronaut Office. He was America’s first African-American astronaut, traveling into space four times aboard the Space Shuttle between 1986 and 1994. SEE BOLDEN, A30

Author drives length of I-8 freeway in search of Jewish stories BY JOE TASH For his latest book, Donald Harrison decided to test out the motto on the daily news website that he publishes with his wife, Nancy - “There is a Jewish story everywhere.” Harrison, a longtime San Diego journalist and public relations practitioner, hit the road to drive the 77-mile length of Interstate 8, from Ocean Beach to the Imperial County border. Along the way, he stopped at every exit, and collected Donald 70 stories about San Diego Harrison County’s Jewish heritage, focusing on people and places. “I believe there’s a nexus between physical places and history and storytelling,” said Harrison, 72, who publishes the San Diego Jewish World website (sdjewishworld.com). By tying stories to a specific location, whether it’s a pile of adobe bricks, a synagogue, a hospital or place of business, especially if the reader can visit the site, “It just makes the story more interesting,” said Harrison. Harrison spent about two years on the project, and first ran the stories as a series on his website. The self-published book, called “77 Miles of Jewish Stories,” came out in September, and is available on the Amazon and Barnes & Noble websites, as well as a number of bookstores and gift

shops along I-8. This new book is Harrison’s third; he also wrote books about San Diego’s first Jewish settler, Louis Rose, and another collection of stories called, “Schlepping Through the American West.” Over his career, Harrison has written for the Associated Press and the San Diego Union, and also co-founded a public relations agency, and worked as press secretary for Bill Cleator, San Diego’s acting mayor. A number of the stories in Harrison’s book have ties to coastal North County. One example is a chapter about Joseph Mannasse and Marcus Schiller, who were merchants and civic leaders in San Diego in the mid-1800s. The two ran a general store in what is now Old Town, and people often paid them in cattle. In order to have a place to graze their growing herd, the two men – both of whom were Jewish – bought large tracts of land along the coast in North San Diego County. “Had their families held on to that land, they would own most of the areas that today are known as Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, Encinitas and Carlsbad. Today anyone who owned that much land would be a multi-billionaire, but back in those days open ranch land was fairly inexpensive. One could buy it cheaply, and unfortunately, later one could sell it just as cheaply,” Harrison wrote. Another prominent Jewish figure profiled in the book was Bob Breitbard, an entrepreneur who put together the deal to build the San Diego Sports Arena (now

The cover of “77 Miles of Jewish Stories” by Donald Harrison. called the Valley View Casino Center), and brought professional hockey and basketball teams to San Diego. He also helped found the Hall of Champions in Balboa Park. Breitbard spent his final years at the Seacrest Village Retirement Home in Encinitas, which is operated by a nonprofit

arm of the local Jewish community. Other chapters chronicle such people and places as D.Z. Akins Delicatessen, Lake Murray, Morris Casuto of the Anti-Defamation League and alpaca farmers in Descanso. Harrison conducted numerous interviews for the book, including one with Steven Feldman, a Jewish defense attorney who represented David Westerfield against charges that he murdered 7-year-old Danielle Van Dam in 2002. Westerfield was convicted of the crime and sentenced to death, while Feldman was the target of anti-Semitic slurs for his role in the case. Harrison said he enjoyed working on the book because of all the stories he got to tell. He relied on his skills as a reporter to unearth and research the tales. “I got to explore not only Jewish institutions, but all the kinds of things that Jews have been involved with,” he said. By running the stories as a series on his news website, Harrison said, he would get tips from readers that sometimes led to other stories. He talked to people at each freeway exit, which also generated leads for additional stories. “That’s what I loved about it, you just never knew what the next exit might bring,” Harrison said. “It’s an interesting way to learn about your culture, history and traditions and meet some interesting people.” “Wherever you go if you know how to look for it you can find a story,” he said.

Sports Spotlight: North County female athletic directors BY KEN GROSSE Being a modern day high school athletic director is not a job for the faint-of-heart. Unless you’re an intelligent, competitive, versatile, people person who likes to work long hours and deal with a kaleidoscope of issues, don’t bother applying. There are currently 127 member institutions in the California Interscholastic Federation’s (CIF) San Diego Section. Outside of their personal characteristics, 21 of the 127 athletic directors running those programs, have an added distinction —they are women. Eleven of the 21 oversee larger public school programs and five of those are at North County schools — Kari DiGiulio (La Costa Canyon), Charlenne Falcis-Stevens (Torrey Pines), Amanda Waters (Carlsbad), Peggy Brose, the veteran of the group in her 16th year on the job at Rancho Bernardo, and first-year member of the club, Terri Kilpatrick at Oceanside’s El Camino High School. On average they have more than 25 sports and well over 1,000 student-athletes under their supervision (in Waters’ case, an incredible 1,800 of Carlsbad’s 2,300-person student body compete on an athletic team). Being that it’s 2017, some 45 years since the introduction of Title IX legislation that paved the way for gender equality, that number (21) may seem a bit low. But while the quantity might require further explanation, the quality is unquestionable. DiGiulio, and Falcis-Stevens both direct programs that are perennially among the elite in terms of broad-based success at the highest level. The former won 2016-17 San Diego Female Athletic Director of the Year honors after

LCC teams won 10 league and seven CIF titles. Falcis-Stevens’ Torrey Pines program was named the No. 1 athletic school in the state of California in both 2014-15 and 2015-16. Brose’s Rancho Bernardo squads have captured CIF crowns in an amazing 21 different sports during her tenure. Their daily responsibilities range from coordinating team travel to scheduling, lining up officials, managing home events, facility oversight, grades/eligibility, fund-raising, increasingly challenging parental issues and a plethora of other tasks. They cite time management, organization, flexibility and the willingness to effectively delegate as keys to success. “A typical day? I’m not sure that exists,” says DiGiulio. “The days pass quickly and you never know what will be thrown your way next.” Or, as Brose puts it, “One thing you get used to is starting with a day plan and showing up on site only to have it shot to pieces.” The North County five have a number of similar traits and stories. All were athletes themselves and have been teachers and coaches (most still have a hand in both) at the prep level. Surprisingly, given their accomplishments, the majority had not really spent much thought on a career in athletic administration but wound up there having been identified by colleagues as potential leaders. While Brose, with the support of long-time Rancho Bernardo Athletic Director Mark Oschner and others, actively prepared herself for a potential administrative role while in the midst of an illustrious 28-year basketball coaching career, the path taken by many of her

Kari DiGiulio peers was much more serendipitous. “When the position opened at La Costa Canyon, the superintendent called and asked me to apply,” says DiGiulio, who was at the tail end of an 11-year run as head field hockey coach at Torrey Pines. “He thought I would be a strong candidate but, honestly, I had not considered it until that phone call.” Falcis-Stevens and Waters have relatable stories. “When my principal asked if I was interested in becoming the Athletic Director, I thought, ‘That’s a huge job,’ ” said Falcis-Stevens. “I wondered how I could continue to teach chemistry, coach my team and handle that. “But as head track and field coach, I supervise 10 assistant coaches and 200 athletes. As AD, the skill set would be comparable and I had seen Kari’s effectiveness as the AD at La Costa Canyon and felt, ‘She can do it, there’s no reason I can’t do it too.’” And “do it,” they do.

collective confidence, energy and the infectious enthusiasm that can be found in successful leaders of business, industry or athletics — be they male or female. But as one of the latter, they have also been trailblazers of a sort, handling a demanding job in what has traditionally been a male-dominated environment while, in the case of four-of-the-five, also starting a family. It’s a dynamic that is at least partially responsible for the relatively low numbers sitting in the athletic director’s chair. “I’d like to see more female athletic directors in San Diego,” says Brose, “but then I don’t have as many female head coaches at Rancho Bernardo as I’d like either. At some point for many women who are coaches or potential administrators, the family component starts to enter in.” As a group, the quintet has a total of 10 children, including DiGiulio’s four, which makes her something of a phenomenon with her peers. “I don’t know how Kari does it, but I think it’s SEE SPOTLIGHT, A24

Endurance love

COURTESY

Sue Hodges and Dennis Kasischke were tops in their age groups at Ironman Racine 70.3 in in July.

Carmel Valley couple are Ironman athletes BY KAREN BILLING etirees tend to have a lot of time on their hands — one Carmel Valley couple uses up all that extra time to log serious mileage, training to go the ultimate distance in Ironman triathlons. Over the summer, husband and wife endurance athletes Dennis Kasischke, 71, and Sue Hodges, 65, took first and second respectively in their age groups at the Ironman 70.3 Racine in Racine, Wisconsin. The 70.3 includes a 1.2-mile swim, 56-mile bike ride and 13.1-mile half marathon run. Both raced in Ironman Wisconsin in Madison on Sept. 10, with Kasischke again taking first in his age group in the grueling 2.4-mile swim, 112-mile bike ride capped off by running a full 26.2-mile marathon. A lifelong athlete, Kasischke has done 41 Ironmans and lost track of the number of half Ironmans, possibly close to 70. He has qualified for Ironman Kona 13 times, including at Ironman Wisconsin —he will race Kona in October 2018. “I keep on racing for several reasons. I love to compete trying to improve on past races. Plus, there is no greater feeling than feeling fit,” Kasischke said. “It also keeps me able to fit in my jeans.” The miles logged on the road and in the water are better when they’re together. “Having Sue as a training partner is tremendous. It is not always easy to get out the door for another training session and one of us will encourage the other to go get it done,” Kasischke said. “We head out the door together.” Not only is it their training time but it is their bonding time — endurance love. Kasischke, a Carmel Valley resident since 1989, has always been a runner, running cross country and track as a high schooler. He was good enough to qualify for the 1972 US Olympic Marathon Trials, the year Frank Shorter went on to win the first of two US gold medals in the marathon. Not counting the marathons at the end of

his 41 Ironmans, Kasischke said he has run 35 marathons. He started cycling with a friend as a way to mix things up and was there for the “birth of the triathlon” in San Diego in Mission Bay in 1974, sponsored by the San Diego Track Club of which Kasischke was a member. He was a race volunteer and thought the participants were a little nuts and that the triathlon was an “exercise in mediocrity” as you could never excel at all three disciplines. Despite his initial reluctance, Kasischke gave duathlons a go which led to trying a triathlon. At 40, he had to learn how to swim because he couldn’t do better than a simple sidestroke. “Water is not my element, I’ve always struggled with it,” he says. “I’m faster in the water now. I’m not as scared of it.” Kasischke completed his first triathlon in 1985 and four years later he did his first Ironman in New Zealand with a buddy and both of them qualified for Ironman Kona the next year. Some 40 Ironmans later he said he is “always the last one out of the water,” catching people on the run. “Triathlons have helped me keep injury free over the years,” Kasischke said. “You work different parts of the body so you do not over-use one part and get injured.” Hodges and Kasischke have been married a year and it was him that got her into racing triathlons. Like her husband, Sue was a runner first, fast enough to have run six Boston Marathons. One of those Boston’s was cut short by the finish line bombing in 2014. She was a quarter mile from the finish line when race directors halted her and Kasischke was at the finish line waiting for her. It was a harrowing few hours when they were apart and had no idea about the other’s safety, finally reconnecting back at their downtown hotel. Hodges became a runner while she was in law school in Illinois and got more into long distance running in her 30s and 40s. She also rode mountain and road bikes while living in SEE ATHLETES, A28

Scripps physician leader/local resident receives National Supply Chain Award Carmel Valley resident M. Jonathan Worsey, M.D., Scripps Health medical director of value analysis, has been recognized for his work on supply chain initiatives by Healthcare Purchasing News, the nation’s only comprehensive business news magazine dedicated to health-care supply chain management. The publication recently presented one of its annual PURE Awards to Worsey, who is a board-certified colorectal surgeon on staff at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. PURE stands for Physicians Understanding, Respecting and Engaging supply chain. The award recognizes physicians who have made significant contributions to supply chain operations through their activities, practices and thinking, according to the magazine. The recognition focuses on physicians who have become supply chain advocates at their organizations and solidified the bonds between clinicians and

supply chain professionals. “The PURE Award recognizes Dr. Worsey’s significant contribution to our efforts to establish an effective value analysis process that closely aligns supply chain managers, surgery leadership, the M. Jonathan chief medical officer, Worsey, M.D. chiefs of staff and service/care line physician leaders at each of our hospitals,” said Scripps President and CEO Chris Van Gorder. Worsey is in private practice and has been a member of the medical staff at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla since 1999. He has held numerous medical staff leadership positions, including chief of surgery. He is currently co-chair of the Surgery Care Line and a member of the Scripps Accountable Care Organization Board.

CHARLIE NEUMAN / SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE

Jeremy Poincenot, 28, and his father, Lionel Poincenot, 62, head out for a round of golf at the Morgan Run Golf Resort.

Champion blind golfer, dad have forged a bond on the links BY PAM KRAGEN ver the past eight years, Jeremy Poincenot has won six national golf titles and two world championships, but the 28-year-old Carmel Valley man says he couldn’t have done it alone. That’s not his humility talking. Poincenot is the reigning national and world champion in blind golfing, and the man by his side every step of the way has been his father, Lionel Poincenot. When Jeremy suddenly lost most of his vision to a rare eye disorder in 2008, his now-62-year-old dad gave him a new set of golf clubs and signed on as his shot guide and caddie. It wasn’t easy at first. In the initial months, father and son struggled to communicate, stay positive and find a balance on the links. But now, Lionel says, they’re “buddies.” And Jeremy said the best part of winning the tournaments is having his dad by his side. “Golf is an individual sport, so if you win a tournament, it’s just you. But in blind golf, it’s our victory,” Jeremy said. “We won it together and it’s something we’ll always share. Being able to do this with my dad has been the most fulfilling part for me.” Jeremy is the oldest of Lionel and Lissa Poincenot’s three children, and the only one who loves to golf. It was golf that brought Lionel and Lissa together three decades ago and golf that provided the family with a good life. Back in 1986, Lionel was working in his native Paris as a designer for the French ski manufacturer Salomon, when it purchased TaylorMade golf in Carlsbad. Lionel was asked to spend two months studying product designs at the new subsidiary, but once he got off the plane in San Diego, he never went home. One reason was Lissa, who worked in the marketing department at TaylorMade. They married and had Jeremy. Then came Julie, a 25-year-old hotel executive in San Francisco, and Eric, 22, who just graduated from UCLA with a mechanical engineering degree, like

his dad. Lionel began teaching the basics of golf to Jeremy when he was little. From the ages of 12 to 17, Jeremy played golf with his dad every Sunday, first at the Shadowridge Golf Course in Vista, and then at the Morgan Run golf course when the family moved to Carmel Valley. “It was our ritual, our bonding time,” Jeremy said. “In high school was the first time I beat my dad. I played four to five times a week on the high school team and he said it wasn’t fair because I got so much more practice.” Jeremy was a sophomore, studying international business at San Diego State in November 2008, when he noticed one day he couldn’t read a sign on campus without squinting. Assuming he simply needed glasses, he went to an optometrist. It was the beginning of what he called a living nightmare. Over the next two months, Jeremy lost all the central vision in his right eye and then his left. Doctors were confounded by his mystery illness until — thanks to his mom’s dogged Internet research — he was diagnosed with Leber’s Hereditary Optic Neuropathy (LHON). The disorder is so rare it affects just 100 people in the U.S. each year. There is no treatment or cure. Depressed and unable to read, drive or golf, Jeremy canceled his plans to study abroad in France, cycled through the stages of grief and slept in every day until noon, telling his parents at least he could still see 20/20 in his dreams. Then he got a wake-up call while watching the news in December 2008. A Navy fighter jet crashed into a University City home killing four family members and the sole survivor was interviewed on TV crying and begging the public for help in dealing with his grief. “I thought this guy went through something so tough I couldn’t imagine and he wasn’t sulking. From that day forward I decided I’d have a positive attitude about my SEE GOLFER, A27

The SD Bulldogs 13U 7th grade Red team of the San Dieguito Boys & Girls Club won the championship of its division in the Open Gym Premier Halloween Classic Basketball Tournament in Anaheim, Calif. The team won the tournament in convincing fashion, going undefeated (5-0) and over the weekend the offense scored 260 points while giving up only 155 on defense. In the championship game is where the Bulldogs jelled as a team, pitting two undefeated teams in a hotly contested game. The Bulldogs’ great teamwork and coach DJ’s savvy player management overcame the very imposing post play of the West Coast Tiger’s center and the relentless sharpshooting of their guards. The SD Bulldogs are led by San Diego State Aztecs legend DJ Gay, who, along with teammate Kawhi Leonard, led the team to the record-breaking 34-3, NCAA Sweet 16 appearance in 2011 and a finalist for the prestigious Bob Cousy Award. On Sept. 16, DJ, along with former men’s basketball head coach Steve Fisher and three other former SDSU athletes were inducted to the Aztec Hall of Fame. On Nov. 20-22, the Bulldogs are running their Thanksgiving Basketball Camp. The camp is a great way to improve on skills and get game situation experience. Space is limited, register early.

Local gymnasts sweep at Pan American Championships Representing the United States at the 2017 Pan American Championships, a group of girls from San Diego won all three gold medals in the Rhythmic Gymnastics Junior Group competition. Hailing from Carmel Valley, Scripps Ranch, La Jolla and 4S Ranch, Celine Cen, Alexandra Militeeva, Venice Park, Ellen Peng, Anastasiya Ivanova and Samantha Mochel won the all-around gold medal and the gold medal in the 5 ropes and 10 clubs events, going three for three in gold medals against seven teams drawn from the total of 19 countries participating. In July, these same girls made history by becoming the first USA Junior National Team for Group Rhythmic Gymnastics ever to come from San Diego. They train at Emerald City Academy of Rhythmic Gymnastics in Scripps Ranch, a gym that has had every individual and group USA National Team athlete in rhythmic gymnastics from the San Diego area, and has recent Olympians on its coaching staff. “As happy as we are for their success, we are more proud of the courage and character they have shown as the worked hard every day to reach what many may have considered unreachable goals,” said Emerald City Academy gym owners Brian Rodli and Ann Colister. “Congratulations to them and to their excellent coaches.”

The USA Junior National Team for Group Rhythmic Gymnastics (center) wins three gold medals at the 2017 Pan American Championships. While many USA National teams are recruited from around the country, this group elected to train together as “six girls from the neighborhood” and worked over 25 hours per week during the school year and up to 40 hours per week during the summer in their drive to transform themselves from six individual

athletes to an internationally-competitive group in a dynamic sport — group rhythmic gymnastics. Exceptionally committed as they were to gymnastics, they were also required to maintain academic excellence as well. This team now prepares for international competitions in 2018, representing the USA.

CCA Raven Water Polo honors Solana Beach seniors BY KAREN BILLING The Canyon Crest Academy water polo team celebrated its senior players on Oct. 24, before a 14-7 win over San Dieguito High School Academy. This year’s trio of Raven Water Polo seniors are all from Solana Beach: Carter Reeves, Andy Schade and Skylar Tobler. The celebration was held on the deck of the Cathedral Catholic High School pool — each player received a flower lei and congratulations from teammates, CCA Principal Brett Killeen and their families. The varsity underclassman hosted a post-game pizza party and ASB (Associated Student Body) provided doughnuts for all CCA students who attended. Head Coach Tyler Ormsby complimented the class of 2018 players for their leadership in and out of the pool and for their survival of four years of 5:30 a.m. practices. Andy has been honored as a member of the CIF All-Academic team and as a 2016-17 USA Water Polo Academic All American. He is part of CCA’s Student Athletic Council and has also been on SEE SENIORS, A28

CaseyGerry Attorneys named ‘Outstanding Trial Lawyers’ by Consumer Attorneys of San Diego CaseyGerry attorneys Robert J. Francavilla, a Carmel Valley resident, and Jason Evans were named "Outstanding Trial Lawyers," at the Consumer Attorneys of San Diego’s (CASD) annual Evening with the Trial Stars Awards Dinner recently held at the U.S. Grant Hotel. The award was presented based on their work on a product liability case against a medical products company, which resulted in a $7.6 million jury verdict for the disabled plaintiff. According to CASD, a local organization of trial lawyers dedicated to preserving and protecting the legal rights of consumers, the Outstanding Trial Lawyer Awards are given to attorneys responsible for an outstanding verdict in connection with a jury trial involving a civil or criminal matter. Criteria include ingenuity, liability aspects, service to the community and the amount of the verdict.

With a practice concentrating on serious personal injury/head injury and products liability, Francavilla is a longtime CaseyGerry partner and a seven-time winner of CASD's “Outstanding Trial Lawyer” Award. Earlier this year he was also named “Trial Lawyer of the Year” by CASD He holds both his B.B.A. and J.D. from the University of San Diego. Evans is an associate attorney for CaseyGerry and is a member of the firm’s complex litigation team, concentrating on product and premises liability, serious personal injury, class action and aviation cases, This is his first recognition as a CASD “Outstanding Trial Lawyer.” He was recently named amongst San Diego’s “Top 40 under 40” by SD Metro and The Daily Transcript. He holds a B.A. from Claremont McKenna College and a J.D. from Washington University in St. Louis School of Law.

I’ve held my own in the thick of it all. I would remind young women to stay confident and never give up on yourself because young girls will always be watching and admiring.

FROM HOUSING, A6 working to get the best possible project for the community, sometimes better than the original proposal. “I’m shocked and offended that the San Diego Housing Commission would even think about disbanding the planning boards,” White said. Board members like Shreya Sasaki said it felt “disengenous” to say that planning boards are the ones holding back developments, without a review of the overall city planning processes. “There’s no comment on the role of the developer themselves,” echoed board member Steve Davison said, noting that in cases where they have had to revisit a project more than once, it’s because the developer has not come prepared. The report did propose one solution to increase the city’s Development Services staffing to align with expedited permitting programs. Board member Laura Copic voiced concern that a “centralized body” or council representative of several communities could really create a disconnect as it takes control away from the neighborhoods that would be most impacted by projects. “When you look at some of these communities, some will be absorbing 10,000 to 15,000 units over the next 10 years and doing that with no community input seems insane,” said board member Ken Farinsky. “If you’re making that big of a change to the community you need to work with the community.” The report does acknowledge that any community planning process reforms meant to stimulate development “must create adequate opportunities for community voices and concerns around development plans to be considered.” At the Oct. 26, the board approved sending a strong response to the SD Housing Commission and the mayor to state that they disagree with the analysis of community planning boards’ role in the housing crisis.

Education Matters/Opinion BY MARSHA SUTTON

Only 17, but leaving his mark on the school board

hen Isaac Gelman took the oath of office on Sept. 14 for a third year as a San Dieguito Union High School District student board member, it was unprecedented. SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill said he’s never had a student board member serve more than one year, so Isaac “is unique in that regard.” “By the time we get to know our [student] board representatives, they move on, so it’s been very special to get to work with Isaac over the years,” Dill said. Isaac’s path to the school board started when he was accepted as an Associated Student Body member at Torrey Pines High School as a freshman. ASB is a leadership course – with formal meetings, officers, and a sizable budget that’s audited regularly. “We‘re very official,” Isaac said. “Last year the auditor said we had the best organized paperwork ever.” He said ASB gets about 200 applicants each year, and after several rounds of interviews the ASB council accepts about 45 students. What helped him get accepted, he said, was his technical expertise. “When I was 12, I built my own computer,” he said. “I ordered the parts, put it all together, installed the system and there you go. I still use the computer every day.” He applied for several positions in ASB, but his first choice was student board representative. Isaac, now a senior, was appointed to that post at the end of his freshman year, and has served as Torrey Pines representative ever since. Providing context Board meetings that include a number of public speakers are the meetings Isaac enjoys most. A divided school board has made the conversations even more interesting. When there are contentious issues, public comments and board discussions provide context and help him understand how the five trustees reach their decisions, he said. “The more information you get on a topic, the more context you have,” he said. “And the more context, the better you’re able to

understand.” Regarding the five San Dieguito trustees, Isaac said, “I think all five are good and not afraid to challenge. Talking is more important than having full agreement.” “The discussion,” he said, “is more powerful than the vote.” The occasional incivility during public comment doesn’t disturb him. “Whenever there’s an issue that’s intensely advocated for on both sides, there’s going to be conflict,” he said. “We’re human and we’re passionate for what we believe. I think the boardroom is the best place to do it. “That’s why I love the school board. I get to hear what other people think. It’s the best way to make an objective decision.” He does, however, distinguish between passionate advocacy and personal attacks, which he said are when “discourse stops happening, and that’s dangerous. The personal attacks are not productive for any side. Whoever’s doing it is probably weakening their point.” Isaac said he enjoys the debates at the board meetings. “I’m not a debate team guy, but [the board discussions are] a real form of debate. I’m actually involved … I’m able to be a valuable member, adding my own perspective.” Listening to people express their opinions has often changed his mind. He said reading an agenda item is like just reading the headlines. “All of us have this immediate snap judgment,” he said. “But you have to get more.” Having a voice Five student board members (one from each of the five SDUHSD high schools) sit on the dais with the five elected trustees, and the students vote on every action item. “I think all five of us have an incredible effect,” Isaac said. “I think that’s our purpose, to be there to provide another perspective. When something is there that really affects the students, we can give a direct response. I think they really do listen to us.” He said he’s never reluctant to speak up – whether to express an opinion or ask questions. And he’s not afraid to challenge the

I want to know. I’m a part of it; I have a voice. I think I give a unique insight.” He only doesn’t speak up when he doesn’t

know what trustees are talking about, which he said with a laugh does happen occasionally. And there are times, he admitted, when he’s bored. “There’s a lot of stuff to keep up with,” he said, noting how he reads each agenda, even though it can often run to many hundreds of pages. Last month, Calif. Gov. Jerry Brown signed Senate bill 468, which gives student board members greater access to information to help them gain better understanding of the issues so they can offer more informed opinions. But the law, which takes effect Jan. 1, 2018, is not giving San Dieguito student board members anything they don’t already have,

Keeping the flu away

nfluenza, commonly called the flu, is a serious viral disease that affects the nose, throat and lungs. It also causes extreme fatigue and can put you out of commission for a week or more. The virus is easily spread by infected persons, but you can reduce your risk of catching the flu bug with an annual seasonal flu vaccine. Why get vaccinated? By far, the best way to prevent the flu is vaccination. Even healthy people can get the flu, along with serious problems related to the virus, such as ear infections, pneumonia and sinus infections. In addition to reducing flu illnesses, the vaccine can reduce doctor visits, avoid missed work and school, and prevent flu-related hospitalizations. Moreover, skipping the flu shot can increase the risk of the virus spreading through your community. “Even if you don’t mind feeling absolutely terrible and not being able to work or take care of your kids, you can still spread the flu to other people,” said Mark Shalauta, MD, a family medicine doctor at Scripps Clinic Rancho Bernardo. “That includes kids, elderly people and others for whom the flu creates a much higher risk of serious or life-threatening complications.” The annual flu season in the United States can begin as early as October and last as late as May.

etc...all for potentially 6 units of affordable housing. This is absurd! If our government were truly concerned about affordable housing, they would not only be fighting for 6 units which is only a small fraction needed as required by the state, they would have joined this 16-acre property. Utilizing the same formula for affordable housing as on Watermark’s 2.3 acres, the Resort Specific Plan would be required to build 24 affordable housing units. This number would virtually satisfy all state-required affordable housing for and in Del Mar. Why only this Watermark corner location, why is our government’s vision for only 6 units when we need 26 like that which could be had at the resort property?

Shalauta recommends getting the vaccine sooner rather than later, but says it is never too late in the season to get the vaccine. Moreover, since flu viruses change from season to season, it’s important to get the flu shot every year. Researchers predict which viruses will be most prevalent each season, and formulate the vaccine accordingly. “The past several years have been pretty spot on as far as predicting what is circulating,” said Dr. Shalauta. “It’s not 100 percent, but the more people who are immunized, the less the virus will spread around.” Take time to get your vaccine The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends the vaccine for everyone 6 months and older, with a few exceptions. Different flu shots are approved for people of different ages, and there are shots approved for pregnant women and people with chronic health conditions as well. The exceptions are: •Children younger than 6 months •People with severe, life-threatening allergies to flu vaccine or any ingredients in the vaccine Since 2016, individuals with egg allergies can receive the appropriate vaccine for their age and no longer have to be monitored for 30 minutes after it is administered. Always talk to your doctor about any allergies you have before getting the shot. If you have had Guillain-Barre Syndrome, a severe paralyzing illness, also talk to your doctor to see if you are able

to receive the shot. Most people who contract the flu will recover in less than two weeks, but some groups are more likely to have complications from the flu that can result in hospitalization or even death. It is particularly important for those who are at high risk for serious flu complications to get the vaccine. These include: • Children younger than 5 •Adults 65 years and older •Pregnant women •Residents of nursing homes and other long-term care facilities • Individuals with underlying chronic conditions, such as asthma, diabetes or heart, liver or kidney disease For more information about the flu virus and influenza vaccines, talk to your primary care doctor. “Healthy Life” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps Health.

Affordable Del Mar?

el Mar Measure R on the November 2016 ballot would have required a public vote for developments citywide that exceed local zoning. The main target of the initiative was the Watermark Del Mar proposal to build high-density residential units, including some affordable housing, on the southeast corner of Jimmy Durante Boulevard and San Dieguito Drive. Measure R was narrowly defeated, 49 to 51 percent. But this does not mean that a majority of Del Mar voters support the Watermark

proposal. Many who oppose the project concluded that Measure R had technical flaws – and that other means were available for blocking Watermark. Kitchell Corp first proposed a 48-unit project with seven affordable units, including four units to be given to a community nonprofit. After meeting some resistance and listening to feedback from the community, the developer proposed a modified plan with 38 units, six of them affordable, including four units dedicated to a local non-profit.

Some people need be accountable for having no real plan and excluding property which would be excellent to take care of all our housing element / affordable housing needs. Solution: Stop everything and put full energy and power into affordable housing as part of the 16-acre resort before it is too late! The state need know we can fulfill our entire obligation with this one site. And we are virtually out of alternative sites. And Watermark barely scratches the surface while significantly negatively impacting our community. We need to promote this solution to our state as what might be our last significant chance to meet our affordable housing needs. Arnold Wiesel Del Mar

The revised proposal has lower density, more underground parking, and increased landscaping. The project is currently under review by the City of Del Mar. I am hearing a number of objections. Some residents (not me) oppose any provision of affordable housing, arguing that it is not fair to give a public subsidy to a small number of families who cannot otherwise afford to live in Del Mar. But state law requires Del Mar to provide 61 affordable units to people at various levels of disadvantage. For a family of four, the highest income that qualifies for assistance is about $88,000. For a family of four, the income that qualifies as “Extremely low” is $24,600. Countywide the median family income is $73,000. The median home price is almost $600,000. Even those who support affordable housing in principle

probably would object if the city attempted to solve the affordability problem by permitting ten new projects of similar size and density to Watermark all over Del Mar. Watermark is a short walk from the Racetrack and Fairgrounds. Unless prohibited by law or contract, all Watermark residents, including those in subsidized units, would be able to rent their homes at very high seasonal rates. An alternative way of meeting Del Mar’s affordable housing obligations would be for the city to buy an apartment complex that would accommodate 61 families, with additional units rented or sold at market rate to help defer the cost of the subsidies.

Lissa said father and son were used to playing against each other, so they had to learn how to play as a team. At first they bickered through their rounds, then she said they found their groove. “At these tournaments, they’re equals but they have different roles, so they had to figure out how they overlap and how to work out the parent/child versus player/coach relationship,” she said. “They’ve both benefited from the experience and they have so much fun now. They love each other and they’ve traveled the world together.” In 2009, Jeremy and his dad won third

FROM FINDING VOICES, A7 Based on the responses in the initial workshop, he said he will be working with Fassett and other participants on holding another one in the near future and honing a strategy for expanding the effort. “The biggest thing is we had a bunch of young people who want to be involved in the organization going forward to help promote it,” he said. “There’s been tons of support and people are reaching out to us.” Community service is a field that has long been appealing to McClondon, having spent his childhood and early teen years raised by his mother in a rough Long Beach neighborhood. He recalled growing up across the street from the family of future major-league baseball stars Tony and Chris Gwynn. Before his Hall-of-Fame career with the San Diego Padres, Tony Gwynn starred in basketball and baseball at SDSU, where McClondon’s older brother, Rodney Van, went to school and ran track in the 1980s.

FROM SUTTON, A25 Isaac said. “They send us everything, whatever’s legal,” he said. “Everything that’s in there [the bill] has already been done for us.” Controversies Memorable discussions in Isaac’s 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 terms included the debate about the resignation of Torrey Pines physics teacher Will Harvie, the 12.5-percent across-the-board salary raise for all district employees, special education issues, and the authorization application by the SOUL charter school. And the start of his third year on Sept. 14 began with a bang, as dozens of speakers made public comments about the high school foundations, at a meeting that lasted until nearly midnight. Because Will Harvie is a Torrey Pines teacher, that issue was personal for Isaac. Isaac remembered asking in open session why two board members (John Salazar and Mo Muir) were not satisfied with the district’s claims that the reasons (provided only in closed session) for Harvie’s sudden resignation were legitimate and should be accepted. “How was it split when it should have been decided in closed session?” he asked. After many students and parents spoke in favor of rejecting Harvie’s resignation, the board ultimately agreed, voting 4-1 to not accept the resignation. Trustee Beth Hergesheimer was the minority vote. That meeting was a break in tradition, when the board was swayed by public comment and decided to oppose the district’s recommendation, Isaac said. “If you have an excellent teacher who leaves in the middle of the year,” he said, “and two weeks later you can’t find another teacher

Having developed an independent streak as an adolescent artist, McClondon said he was determined to be his own boss once he left college and embarked on a career in web design and other facets of Internet technology. That evolved into a career as a consultant advising firms how they can better promote themselves and their wares through digital media. One day on a visit to one of the companies, it struck him that there were no people of color, aside from a couple of Asians, among a staff of about 200 employees, and he realized that he was one of the few African Americans in his field. He formed Youth Campaigns recognizing that many high school students and young adults have a level of sophistication with the digital culture that could open up opportunities for them.

without reassigning another one, then why are we not reaching out and asking questions?” Voting Rights Act In another case, the recent decision by a unanimous school board to divide the district into five separate voting areas sailed through unchallenged. Yet Isaac expressed to me his misgivings, offering unique insights that no elected board member raised. Several legal judgments showed that the courts have no sympathy for cities and school districts that may be violating the California Voting Rights Act (CVRA). Isaac said he understands the district risks the threat of costly litigation if it doesn’t make this change. Still, he objects to legislation or the courts imposing top-down laws and policies that supersede district interests. Local control for him is an over-riding issue. It’s what influenced his decision to publicly oppose the district’s resolution at the Sept. 14 board meeting to support a state Senate bill recommending later start times. Isaac said he was not necessarily against later start times and sees the reasoning behind the movement. It was the restrictive language in the Senate bill and the resolution brought before the board that he objected to. “If [the resolution] said, for example, that we want to build a plan to move them [start times] back gradually, that’s less restrictive,” he explained. About the CVRA presentation to the board on Sept. 14, Isaac told me he felt it was inappropriate for the law firm to present the information when it stands to benefit financially from the board’s vote to sub-divide the district. “Why is the lawyer standing there selling their product?” he asked. “They’re literally making a pitch to us.” He said it would have been preferable for

Jeremy tells audiences that given the choice, he wouldn’t wish to be sighted again because the experience has changed his perspective in a good way. “I don’t take things for granted any more and I appreciate the things I do have,” he said in one TED talk. “I’ve discovered that in life there are obstacles.

schools and organizations with students, often resulting in internships or jobs, he said. “Companies struggle with how to utilize digital marketing,” he said. “There are young people who have grown up with the tools and can utilize the tools, but for some reason have been left out. So we’re trying to partner these kids with companies. They’ve grown up with (digital), and they’re immersed in it.” With Youth Campaigns, McClondon focused on neighborhoods with which he became familiar after arriving in San Diego. Living in Solana Beach for the last nine years opened his eyes to some of the challenges youths face in the neighborhoods where his 4-year-old son and younger son turning 3 on Nov. 6 are growing up. “There is this thing when we talk about issues that kids have where everyone is associating that with low-income communities,” he said. “We need to stop that. All kids have issues that need to be addressed. For more information, visit findingvoices.org and youthcampaigns.org

someone within the district to present the facts. Russian immigrants The son of Russian immigrants, Isaac, age 17, said his parents’ escape from anti-Semitism and oppression in the former Soviet Union in the early 1990s “is a big part of my life, a big part of my culture. I learned a lot from my parents about Soviet history and immigration.” Both professionals, his father is an engineer and his mother does data analytics. Yet Isaac said it was not easy for them as immigrants. Their biggest barrier, he said, was learning a new language. Isaac and his older brother, Ed, were born in America but grew up speaking Russian, their first language. He said his parents speak English at home while he speaks Russian “so I don’t lose it.” He can also read Russian. Isaac speaks English with no detectable accent, although he said he’s been told he speaks in Spanish class with a Russian accent. When asked about hobbies and outside interests, Isaac, who plans to study applied mathematics in college, said, “I like to do a lot of stuff. My hobby is trying everything. I actively seek different things to learn about.” Isaac gets his news by reading the Wall Street Journal and exploring a variety of other sites with solid reputations – never from Facebook or social media sites, he said. “I love politics,” he said. “I follow national politics. It’s something my family has always done. I debate with my parents a lot. I get their insight and they get mine. It’s fun.” He joked that he has to hold his own at the dinner table, especially when his older brother is there and joins in. Being involved “I am so impressed with Isaac’s contributions to our board discussions,” said school board member Joyce Dalessandro, who was first

elected in 1996 and is now serving her sixth term which expires in 2020. “Over the course of his unprecedented tenure, he has demonstrated his dedication to the whole district while representing his fellow students and affording them a voice in the decisions of the board,” she said. “He jumped right in and offered his thoughts alongside his older peers and the adults on the board,” Dill said. “His involvement has been especially valuable in that no other student has his history and continuity.” Dill called Isaac “very mature, articulate, and sometimes provocative” with his opinions. Isaac praised San Dieguito for sending him and fellow student board members to the California School Boards Association student board member program two years ago. “They’re involved in us being involved,” he said. Isaac’s advice to future student school board members? “Do your school board homework. Learn about the school board. Be opinionated. Hold your convictions. Contribute to the discourse. “Whatever you have is valuable ... even if it’s not what you think they want to hear. They’re going to respect you for speaking out. You’re just another person trying to figure out what’s best.” Sitting on the school board forces you to make a decision, yes or no, he said. “It reinforces that skill to evaluate information.” “Listen, take in, absorb, evaluate and make a decision.” “I wish there were some other avenues to get kids to become problem-solvers on the fly,” he said. “That’s really powerful.” Opinion columnist and Sr. Education Writer Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.

county’s top five (number one Mission Hills and San Marcos) for a 3-2 Avocado League record. The Falcons went down to El Camino and were edged out by Mission Hills. This final game of the regular season could vault the winner into a tie for second place, depending on the Mission Hills vs San Marcos result, and will help decide the final seedings for both teams in the CIF playoffs. Last year’s Beach Bowl saw the Falcons reclaim the Golden Surfboard with a victory over their rivals on the Mavericks’ field. This year, the Mavericks hope to return the favor. Also in the spirit of the friendly district rivalry, the traditional “Survivor” competition between student representatives from both schools will be held at halftime, featuring a variety of fun and athletic contests. Senior students, in male and female categories, at both schools compete in daily physical contests during the week leading up to the Beach Bowl to determine each campus’ representatives in the final Survivor showdown for further district bragging rights on Friday night. Adding to the local flavor of the Beach Bowl theme is San Diego County’s most unique trophy, the Golden Surfboard, a work of art created 12 years ago by students of LCC art teacher, Ron Lenc, out of a surfboard donated by now retired science teacher Jerry Trust. The work of art symbolizes the SDUHSD and the history of the north-south rivalry, going back to 1974 and the days of San Dieguito High School. The current rivals’ school colors and logos are also represented on the Golden Surfboard.

community of over 300 houses in the northern part of Del Mar that is subject to flooding from both sea and river, and preserving that community for as long as we can is of the utmost importance.” And whereas the previous draft was ambivalent toward the effectiveness of replenishing beaches and building reefs and groins to trap ocean sand, the new draft thrusts those strategies the top of the city’s priorities — not in some abstract future but right away. “We must preserve the beach starting now,” Gaasterland said. Another new wrinkle is a call for Del Mar to immediately launch a wide-ranging program for annual monitoring of beach width, flood risk, the frequency of extreme weather events, wildlife loss and retreat in the San Dieguito Lagoon, and sediment levels in the river channel. Notably absent from the recommended monitoring: sea-level rise. The resident uproar also won changes to STAC’s composition. For its first two years, STAC consisted of five Del Mar residents, an official from the fairgrounds, an official from the California Coastal Commission, a Scripps scientist and an advocate from the Surfrider Foundation. The city council added two more residents to the committee earlier this month — one from the beach colony and one from

FROM SENIORS, A21 the school’s surf team for four years and participated in one year of swim varsity and one year of JV volleyball and soccer. “Andy Schade gives the team a boost through his tireless effort and energy. He facilitates open shots for teammates and can finish the ball himself as well,” Ormsby said. “His mobility is a key attribute that stokes the team's defense,” Andy plans to study mechanical engineering or computer science in college. Andy shared sage advice for younger polo players: “Before early morning practices, a little sleep goes a long way.” Carter, the team’s driver, has had a well-decorated water polo career, including 2015 All-Palomar second team and CCA co-MVP, 2016 All-Avocado League second team and CCA MVP, 2017-18 UT All-Academic Team and 2016 CIF All-Academic Team. In 2015, he was honored as

After crashing and breaking her collarbone she made a decision: no more riding. “I sold all my bikes… and then I met him,” she said. It didn’t take long before Kasischke was persuading her to compete in triathlons. She bought a new bike and much like her future husband, she would have to learn how to swim. “I could dog paddle and that was it. I couldn’t even swim the 25-meter length of the pool five years ago,” she said. She went from dog paddle to racing her first half Ironman in 2012, taking lessons and swimming UC San Diego Masters with Kasischke three times a week. “She’s a pretty good swimmer,” Kasischke says. Training for an Ironman is no easy feat — it consists of about six miles of swimming, 200 miles on the bike and 40 miles of running a

the bluffs. After the sweeping changes, the resident rancor had by STAC’s Oct. 26 meeting largely given way to gratitude. But although homeowners bandied about words like “thankful” and “pleasantly shocked,” dire concerns remain, especially over the need for an in-depth economic and legal analysis of STAC’s recommendations. Oceanfront Avenue resident Heather Lindsey voiced strong concern over how the city council could ask STAC to make such profoundly far-reaching recommendations without having a clear sense of their economic impacts. “This issue is big. It’s bigger than short-term rentals, it’s bigger than the police force,” she said. “This issue, if mismanaged, could cripple the city financially to the point where we could not be a city. It could flood out a third of the city.” Thorough analyses would push STAC’s timeline far past its December target for finalizing the adaptation plan, so the committee settled on stipulating that further economic and legal analysis must occur before the city moves forward on any of the options. But as the new draft soothed homeowners, it has upset the Surfrider Foundation, which is closely following Del Mar’s planning. Surfrider members and staff have spoken out at recent STAC meetings about the long-term perils of seawalls and the need to balance property rights with state mandates to ensure coastal access for

all Californians. Del Mar’s new direction throws that balance askew, said Julia Chunn-Heer, policy manager for Surfrider’s San Diego chapter. And eliminating planned retreat will handcuff the city’s ability to deal with the inevitable properties for which sand-replenishment will eventually prove inadequate. “You’ll be faced with the decision of allowing homes to live in the shadow of a seawall and the beach has been entirely destroyed,” she said. “Those are the type of situations that we want to prevent, and to prevent that takes a long lead time.” STAC member Kristen Brinner — a Solana Beach resident who co-chairs San Diego Surfrider’s beach preservation committee — was on the subcommittee that rewrote the adaptation plan. Throughout that process, she pushed back that planned retreat needs to remain an option, objections that she raised again on Oct. 26. “No one wants homes to be removed. But we need to be realistic about what might be coming,” she said. “If we’re talking about the credibility of this report, we can’t say that all options are on the table if we’ve removed an option.” Several STAC members agreed that the plan ought to explain that planned retreat has been deliberately removed. STAC hopes to finalize its version of the adaptation plan at its Dec. 7 meeting.

the “Top Male Athlete” of the Junior Lifeguards’ competition at the 2015 California State Games. “Carter uses his strength and speed to set up his teammates or to open himself up for a goal,” Ormsby said. At CCA, Carter has earned varsity letters in water polo, swimming and surfing, and plans to swim again this spring. Outside of school he is involved in Teen Volunteers in Action and as a music-lover, works as a disc jockey. His advice to younger players: “Go to bed at 6:30 p.m. before practice.” He also gave a shout-out to Breakfast Club, those life-saving, post-early practice meals provided by parent volunteers. In addition to water polo, Skylar is an avid surfer and alongside Andy and Carter has played a big part in the success of the CCA surf team. “Skylar Tobler has worked hard to become a starter and key player for our team,” Ormsby said. “He has a strong, confident shot that really helps

the team.” Skylar plans to study business in college. “No matter what swim set any of your coaches give you, do it and do it to the best of your ability,” said Skylar in his advice to younger polo players. “You might think swimming back and forth is boring and pointless, but it builds character. If you are given a swim set that you think is impossible to make and you push through it, it will make you a better water polo player and coaches will notice you more.” Although no college decisions have been made yet, all three seniors listed UC Santa Barbara as among their top destinations for next year. The CCA Ravens went 18-9 overall in the regular season and 4-1 in league for a second place finish. They are the number four seed in Division 1 CIF playoffs and will play the winner of the Nov. 1 matchup between Torrey Pines High School and San Marcos on Nov. 3 at 5:15 p.m. at the La Jolla Coggan pool.

They continue to train with UC San Diego Masters Swimming and they run the track at UC San Diego on Tuesdays and Thursdays — while they no longer have a professional track coach, a group of friends does organized workouts together. When the couple does their long run, “We start together, but he’s faster,” Sue said. On some bike rides, he will go by himself but they do most long rides together. As much as possible, they like to run on trails. A favorite spot is Gonzales Canyon in Carmel Valley. Ironman Wisconsin was Hodges’ second attempt at a full Ironman. Two and a half years ago, during a practice bike ride for Ironman Whistler, she was hit by a pickup truck and broke her hip. Her rehabilitation was a lengthy process, she had to use a walker for two months and could swim but only with a pull buoy. It was over a year before she was able to run at all. The 70.3 Racine was her first race back outside of a few short races.

“It has taken me a long time to try to come back. I’m a lot slower after the injury,” Hodges said. She still has trouble running on concrete surfaces and the Racine course really bothered her hip. The bike course was equally rough — that day there were about 50 flat tires and water bottles littered the course. Hodges’ day in Madison was significantly shorter than Kasischke’s. The water was rough and after she got out of her wetsuit she was trembling with a mild case of hypothermia. The medics made her stay in the transition area for 25 minutes before she could get on her bike. She wasn’t feeling great on the bike but she missed the cut-off by five minutes and wasn’t allowed to finish. Kasischke said his swim was “pretty OK” and the bike course was extremely challenging and hilly. “People were walking their bikes up the 20 percent grade.” Kasischke was chasing a man in his age group, and when he saw that his bike was gone from the transition area when he got out of the water and was gone when he got back from the ride he knew he

would have to work to run him down. Kasischke ran hard for the first 13 miles but as the course was several out and backs, he never saw the guy. “On the second loop of the course I got the feeling that he dropped out so I slowed down and cruised in,” Kasischke said, who later found out his competitor never went out on the ride as he was saving himself for Kona a few weeks later. “It was a good one. I got a good workout.” Kasischke will start training for Kona 2018 in March or April and together the couple has a long course duathlon on the books for February, an Olympic-distance triathlon in May and half Ironmans in June and July. In addition to keeping fit, another big factor for their desire to compete is that the races are held all over the world. “It gives us a good reason to travel and see the sights,” Kasischke said, not mentioning the 70.3 or 140.62 miles that go along with seeing said sights. “If we both win an award, that’s fun,” Hodges said.

FROM DESIGN THINKING, A5 by teaching them effective ways of learning and collaborating. Design thinking includes maker-centered learning where students are asked to research, plan, reflect and build. “When I was in school, I completed a lot of projects,” wrote Laura Spencer, the district’s new director of innovation and design in her blog, Igniting Awe in Learning. “I created clothing worn by a Native American tribe; I recreated a topographical map of California with salt dough; and I built a California Mission with sugar cubes. Most of us have similar memories from our school days. However, none of these projects truly prepared me for the challenges of life.” The projects were just projects, Spencer said, and they were defined for her by her teacher and were meant to teach a specific content standard. What they were missing, was the creation of an experience — that’s what design thinking is. “In design thinking, we want students to learn how to solve problems and truly make a difference in their community. We want them to develop empathy for others, and then use that empathy to see the world through a different lens,” Spencer said. “We want students to grapple with solutions that aren’t black and white, wrong or right. Mostly, we

FROM SCORES, A1 communicating reasoning in math. The 2017 scores reflected a two percent increase over last year in the number of students who met or exceeded standards for English language arts (ELA) and math, and DMUSD saw significant increases in the claims of writing and research/inquiry. Petersen reported that 86.3 percent of Del Mar students met and exceeded standards in ELA. The neighboring Solana Beach School District had 85.44 percent and Rancho Santa Fe School District achieved 84.88 percent. In math, 84.78 percent of DMUSD students met or exceeded the math standards.

want students to experience the world, and then make that world a better place.” At the Oct. 25 DMUSD board meeting, Superintendent Holly McClurg, Assistant Superintendent of Instructional Services Shelley Petersen and Carmel Del Mar Principal Jessica Morales shared their reflections over a summer’s work in professional learning in design thinking. Together with Spencer, they visited Project Zero at the Harvard Graduate School of Education; a team from DMUSD also visited the Nueva School Design Thinking Institute in the Bay Area. At Nueva, Morales said they were inspired by the school’s highly rigorous curriculum and the social and emotional learning that was happening in “intentional learning environments made for collaboration, making, engineering and play.” Those kinds of environments are what they are trying to achieve in Del Mar, according to Morales. At Harvard, alongside “celebrities in education” such as Ron Ritchhart, author of “Creating Cultures of Thinking” and Mark Church, co-author of “Making Thinking Visible,” they learned how to best nurture critical thinking and creativity, what it means for students to understand and how the district can design with a variety of learners and contexts.

district, 79.98 percent of students met or exceeded the math standards and 81.65 percent did in Rancho Santa Fe. When looking at the scores by grade level, DMUSD additionally far outperformed county and state averages, Petersen said. She said the grade level data for students who exceed the standards for ELA is “compelling,” showing 60 percent exceed standards in third grade, above 65 percent in fifth and almost 60 percent of sixth graders. “The number of students who have surpassed expectations at their grade level, is pretty astounding,” Petersen said. The results look very much the same in math — actually higher in fourth, fifth and sixth grade than

FROM TRAFFIC, A1 As the SR-56 West backs up substantially in the morning, Kashani said the problem is more people from the east of Pacific Highlands Ranch are starting to avoid the freeway altogether and come down Carmel Valley Road. This causes traffic to push onto residential streets. “For the record, I actually don’t mind the traffic, I’m resigned to traffic, it’s everywhere in California,” Kashani said. “It’s when the kids are punching it at 45 miles per hour down the alleyway that I decided I had to get involved.” Kashani said teenage drivers on their way to the nearby high schools and other commuters have been “flooring it” down his neighborhood streets and line-ups have been building on residential backstreets to get back on Pacific Highlands Ranch Parkway and avoid the congestion on Carmel Valley Road. He hopes the signs will help prevent that cut-through traffic, as one resident said: “We can’t back out our driveways because teenagers are flying through.” Pacific Highlands Ranch representative Shreya Sasaki said the signs are just one solution and

The district’s design engineers Paula Intravaia and Sarah Raskin have been working with teachers and students in the district to create authentic learning experiences this year. Thinking routines implemented this fall include exercises in “I Think…” and “I wonder….” Anchored in the belief that student thinking leads to understanding, Morales said teachers have looked to make students’ learning visual — they use a lots of post-it notes and take advantage of white board surfaces. Experiential projects have students taking a “deep dive” into real-world issues. Students observe, research, collaborate, ask and listen, brainstorm, create prototypes, and learn about project management and planning. “Through developing deep empathy, they can develop deeper understanding that can lead to insights,” Morales said. On Oct. 17, Del Mar Hills fourth graders presented prototypes for mitigating the impacts of local coastal erosion to the Deputy Mayor of Del Mar Dwight Worden. It was the culmination of weeks of intense, integrated learning and design thinking in which the students considered many different points of view: surfer, environmentalist, homeowner and taxpayer. “These are real world problems and they

ELA. Petersen also spoke about the percentages of students who are not meeting or near meeting standards — she said while they talk a lot about percentages, it’s important to be mindful that those numbers represent actual students. “When we look at ELA in third grade, the total number of students not at standard is 104 students out of 631 students,” Petersen said. “When you see a low percentage, you think ‘Wow we’re doing great’ but that’s 104 students that need additional support so that they do meet standards. Those are significant numbers for us and where we focus our intervention moving forward.” In the fourth grade, 91 out of 692 students did not meet the ELA

they need to have a larger conversation about what they envision for the community — encouraging carpooling, walking or biking to school and making it safe to do so and addressing a plan for the area overall at the board’s Pacific Highlands Ranch traffic subcommittee. Some solutions for Pacific Highlands Ranch are in the works — plans are underway to expedite the completion of Village Center Loop Road, which currently dead ends past the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch, Canyon Crest Academy and Pacific Trails Middle School at a privately-owned parcel that has no current plans for development. Once completed the road will link back to Carmel Valley Road. Additionally, the expansion of Carmel Valley Road from four to six lanes from Del Mar Heights to SR-56 recently opened. “That was never going to help,” said Pacific Highlands Ranch resident Karen Dubey of the Carmel Valley Road extension. “It’s disappointing that the third lane didn’t go one extra block because that’s the main entrance to Village center and also Pacific Highlands Ranch Parkway.”

have viable, relevant solutions considered by adults today,” Petersen said. “It’s happening now, it’s relevant. That is the power of design thinking.” At Sycamore Ridge, students developed projects on renewable energy and Torrey Hills sixth graders used design thinking to design the ultimate backpack for fourth graders, interviewing users to identify a need. Carmel Del Mar students were asked “What are some of the needs in the Carmel Del Mar community?” to which students came up with everything from pencil boxes to recycling bins. At Ashley Falls, students worked to ensure safety of all students during recess with a playground safety design challenge. “This process made me aware of many problems at the school, but I can solve them!” one sixth grader noted. McClurg said their efforts with design thinking and transforming into a culture of thinking, like everything they will look to implement with District Design, is strongly research-based not done on a whim. She said the district is doing their own design thinking as they assess what students need and how they can “revolutionize” education. “For years, education has been tame and traditional,” McClurg said. “Students need for us to step into the wild and change and transform the system.”

standards, as well as 122 out of 724 fifth graders and 104 out of 712 sixth grade students. In math, 118 out of 614 third graders tested did not meet the standards, 95 of 681 fourth graders did not, as well as 81 of 703 fifth graders and 76 out of 702 sixth graders. Petersen said the numbers are “still very good but not good enough” and they will work hard to address those student needs. The district’s test scores will be incorporated into the new state accountability system, the California School Dashboard Report, which will be available for public viewing in December. The color-coded dashboard replaced the Academic Performance Index (API) score and

Board vice chair Barry Schultz said that it’s “mindboggling” to think of all the density on that roadway and all the homes still to come. “I think at some point, someone had to think about it. How do we find ourselves in this situation?” he asked, not for the first time. Carmel Valley Planning Board Frisco White said that the traffic is not 24-7 and is mostly during those peak hours of school pick-up and drop-off. One resident said it seems that it is not a road problem but a school problem. “This is a band-aid, it’s probably worth doing in the short term but Barry is right, there are some things that were not planned for,” Dubey said. Dubey said planning efforts did not assume Village Center Loop Road would not be complete nor was it assumed that students who live on Rancho Santa Fe Farms Road would be going to Ashley Falls School. “A huge amount of traffic wants to turn right on Del Mar Heights Road,” Dubey said. She said adding to the problem is that CCA and Cathedral Catholic High School are regional schools, with people traveling from outside of the area to PHR. And planning did not assume

takes into account state and local indicators such as English learner progress, chronic absenteeism, suspension rates and parent engagement as well as test results. “The Smarter Balanced results and the reason we achieve the way we do is because we continue to focus on the instructional core,” Petersen said, noting that in developing that strong core, the district utilizes “deliberate and purposeful” implementation of research-based practices. “We continue to invest in people through high-quality, sustained, professional learning… Every individual in our district contributes to student success and student success is not an accident. It is due to hard work and because we pay attention over time to the right elements.”

all the schools would start and end at the same time. “I guarantee this is all a school problem, because in the summer we have no problem with the cut-through traffic. And the coming-home traffic is not when you come home at 6 p.m., it’s at 3 p.m, ”Dubey said, noting that the intersection of Del Mar Heights and Carmel Valley Road is completely clogged in the afternoons with people trying to turn left. Dubey said the situation could be improved by the opening of Village Center Loop Road, staggered school times and perhaps one extra lane on Carmel Valley Road from PHR Parkway to Del Mar Heights Road. If the Del Mar Union School District does build its ninth school, slated for a property on Solterra Vista Parkway, she said that would take some cars off the street for students traveling to Ashley Falls School. As has been noted in the past, there are 12 traffic lights from the eastern boundary of the Del Mar district to Ashley Falls and those commuters face a 26- to 34-minute drive to travel about three miles to get to school, joining the rest of the PHR traffic on Carmel Valley Road.

FROM SOLANA 101, A1 the 101 and see a vacant, empty eyesore,” said Brad Termini, a Solana Beach resident and CEO of Zephyr Partners, which is proposing the project. “We don’t want people to think of our community as this. For as long as the 101 has been in existence, the 101 is where people came to shop and dine. That’s what the 101 was: the commercial district. We see a modern version of that and are trying to fulfill that spirit.” Connectivity was the catchword on Saturday, Oct. 28, during the first of two open houses being hosted on-site by Zephyr, the Encinitas-based developer that bought the parcel more than a year ago. Zephyr’s preliminary designs — dubbed “Solana 101”— sketch out 95,470 square feet of office, residential, retail, restaurants and parklets, with the bulk of the floor space coming from the 25 rental apartments (seven one-bedroom and 18 two-bedroom) and 45,000 square feet of office space. Roughly 100 residents stopped by the displays set up in the parking lot, several of whom touted the proposal as a missing link in the 101 corridor — a north-south connector along the historic highway and an east-west node between the Cedros district and thousands of oceanfront residents along Sierra Avenue. The tenor was a far cry from the animosity that dogged — and eventually doomed — the plan American Assets Trust hatched three years ago for a three-story, mixed-use complex anchored by a 20,000-square-foot grocery store. That proposal ran up against the city’s View Assessment Commission in March 2015 after two homeowners filed complaints that the complex would block their eastward views. Sharp criticism from residents followed at a public forum a few months later. The lot was back on the market by the end of the year. Within months, Zephyr snatched up the property and set about reimagining its build-out, mindful to avoid its predecessor’s mistakes. “We’ve had a benefit of listening to all

In one mission, Borden and his crew launched the Hubble Space Telescope, which is now traveling in deep space, sending back pictures that have transformed our view of the universe. All told, Bolden logged a total of 680 hours in space and was inducted into the Astronaut Hall of Fame in 2006.

He led NASA in developing a space rocket and Orion spacecraft that will

the history and coming into it eyes wide open and knowing what the sensitivity points are,” Termini said. “So rather than fight it, we’ve tried to solve for them out front and tried to do something that makes the most of the community’s objectives.” Zephyr has scaled down its proposal to two stories instead of three, with 85 percent of the project standing less than 27 feet tall. Buildings that front Highway 101 will be limited to a single story; two-story buildings will be set back at least 40 feet. And while Zephyr’s proposal calls for roughly 10,000 more square feet of development than the American Assets plan, it is more spread out and steers clear of the maximum density allowed. Walkability and public amenities are a point of emphasis: Zephyr’s plan is lined with parklets and open spaces that create pedestrian access throughout the site. Another key selling point is an underground garage with more than 300 parking spaces. “The uses we’re going to have here could never use that much parking. So we imagine that people who can’t find a spot on Cedros, they can come here, have lunch, have a glass of wine and walk across the bridge,” Termini said. “The city has done this incredible job of building this public infrastructure, but we literally have a bridge to nowhere. Think of the public investment that went into this bridge envisioning that something would be built here. Now is the time.” And while many residents still pine for a big-box grocer, it didn’t fit with Zephyr’s designs. “The traffic impacts of a grocery store outweigh the benefits for a lot of the community,” Termini said. “So what we’ve decided to do is reimagine the project with retailers and restaurants — locally-based, chef-driven cuisine — uses that will be used by the local community and not drive a ton of crazy traffic.” State-mandated environmental review is expected to wrap up in a few weeks, followed by a public comment period. On that timeline, Zephyr would present

carry astronauts to deep space destinations, such as asteroids and the planet Mars. Under Borden, NASA sent the Curiosity rover to Mars, launched a space craft to Jupiter, and continued progress toward a 2018 launch of the James Webb Telescope, which will be the successor to the Hubble Space Telescope. Borden was given the Nierenberg Prize on the evening of Oct. 17, at the Robert Paine Scripps Forum, which is a small SIO auditorium that overlooks La Jolla Shores beach. SIO director Margaret Leinen introduced the event and acknowledged the family of William Nierenberg in attendance, including wife Edith, son Nico, daughter Victoria, and two grandchildren, Victoria told some amusing stories about her dad, a man she said “was interested and excited about everything.” Then Bolden, who was accompanied by his wife, spoke about “An Instrument of Soft Power: NASA International Cooperation.” “Wow!” he led off, “ I just want to

Solana 101 to the city council early next year and construction would begin at the end of 2018. If approved, Solana 101 would be the first new, large-scale commercial construction in that part of Solana Beach since the nearby Beachwalk center was built 40 years ago — the kind of revitalization the city had in mind when it poured $7 million into renovating the 101 corridor in 2013. Among those who stopped by the open house was City Councilman David Zito. While he withheld his reaction until the proposal goes before the council, he did acknowledge that Zephyr appears to have made strides in addressing some of the problems that plagued the American Assets proposal. But much remains to be determined, he said, on whether Zephyr’s plan is too big, generates too much traffic or poses other negative environmental impacts. “All I can say is everyone in the city wants to see a project here. We want to see the area developed and we want to see this get put to good use,” he said. “Part of the reason we redid the 101 is to stimulate development of the whole corridor, but part of it is also to make sure we’re not trying to make 101 look like downtown La Jolla. It’s still supposed to be Solana Beach in the end.” Doris and Stan Bergum, who live two blocks away, believe the Zephyr designs have done just that. The couple counted themselves as supporters of the American Assets proposal, but after seeing the Solana 101 designs on Saturday, they appreciated what Zephyr has brought to the table. “They thought through a lot,” Stan Bergum said. “I think they understand what the people of Solana Beach were looking for as it relates to walkability and sustainability, solar energy, parking underground. There are a lot of a unique designs here, so I think we need to continue that and focus on bringing more affordable housing to the community. They’ve hit a lot of those things with this project.” The next open house runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 18 at the site. Learn more at Solana101.com.

say thank you to the Nierenberg Family and Director of Scripps Margaret Leinen. I must say I was quite intimidated to receive this award because it meant I would have to live up to the reputation of Bill Nierenberg, who was a legend in his field!” Borden next saluted the famed SIO oceanographer Walter Munk, now age 100, who was seated in the audience, smiling.

Borden on Borden

Borden called himself “an eternal optimist” who sees his role as, “helping people ponder questions, but not so much answer them. I want to help people address questions such as: Are we alone in the universe? What else is out there? Are there other forms of life in the universe? Are there other habitable planets?” Borden also said he wanted to encourage people to recognize our own beautiful planet. “Our planet needs you,” he said. “We need your imagination, your ingenuity, and

FROM YMCA, A5 “We’re excited about the possibilities of bringing a YMCA to the Torrey Hills area,” said Courtney Pendleton, YMCA of San Diego County association director of public relations. Pendleton said they are still in the very early stages of evaluating the facility but the conceptual design targets a 45,000-square-foot building comparable to other YMCA facilities in the county, such as the newly-opened Jackie Robinson Family YMCA in southeast San Diego. In 2015, when the YMCA first proposed taking over the Torrey Hills park site, proposed features included a gym and pool, soccer arenas and parking lot. One of the biggest challenges for the site is the access — the YMCA is looking at creating a new roadway from Carmel Mountain Road up to the site. The road alone will add to the project review and timeline. “The timeline for full completion depends on several things, including fundraising the dollars necessary to make the project a reality,” Pendleton said. “We estimate being able to begin construction on the facility in late 2019.” The process the YMCA typically follows is first identifying a property, working out the legal entitlements (in this case, a long-term lease with the city) and then conducting marketing to residents in the area to gather input on what programs and services they would like to see and gauge the membership interest. The YMCA is a membership model, so it charges a fee to join. Fundraising efforts provide financial assistance for people who cannot afford the membership, so they never turn anyone away. “At the YMCA of San Diego County, we’re two years into our t10-year strategic vision. By 2025, we’re planning to double our impact in the community. For us, having presence in Torrey Hills represents another opportunity to serve more kids, adults and families, all while strengthening our community,” Pendleton said. “This site was one of the strongest third-party market studies the Y has ever conducted. We’re excited the community is eager for a YMCA.”

your cooperation. This is Space Ship Earth and it’s the only one we have, and we must work together to take care of it. But the best, and perhaps most meaningful view of Earth, is from space. We must continue on with space exploration. It is one of the keys to having a better future. We must expand our human presence in the universe.” Bolden went on to discuss the direction, accomplishments and current projects of NASA. He said that after the Challenger exploded in 2003, NASA changed direction to focus on the Space Station, technology development, public/private, and international cooperation. “We have 17 years of human habitation on the International Space Station, 250 miles up into space. Astronauts from many different countries have lived and worked there successfully,” said Bolden. He further mentioned Juno, a satellite that is completely powered by solar energy, and Osiris Rex “a project where we will send a

space ship to orbit the asteroid Benuit. The space ship will eventually descend to the surface of the asteroid and without actually landing, extract a soil sample. Then we will have soil material that came from outside our solar system!” In regard to the James Webb Space Telescope, he said, “it will travel a million miles away from Earth and undoubtedly transform our view of the universe, much like the Hubble Telescope has.” As for the mission to Mars, Bolden said, “President Obama challenged NASA to get to Mars. I’m confident we can do it. I see humans living and working on Mars. Mars will be our stepping stone to the rest of the universe. My hope is that we will eventually find signs of life or habitable planets out there.” He concluded his talk with a challenge to young scientists. “I especially want to encourage the young people in the audience to study hard, work hard and not be afraid of failure. You are the ones who will take us into our future.”

‘Of Mice and Men’ brings chilling dramatic portrayals LET’S REVIEW BY DIANA SAENGER cornucopia of North Coast Repertory Theatre talents has created a versatile, moving experience in their latest production, Steinbeck’s mighty, “Of Mice and Men.” Richard Baird, founding Artistic Director of New Fortune Theatre Company, who fills many positions behind and on area stages, superbly directs. American author John Ernst Steinbeck, Jr. (1902-1968) wrote “Of Mice and Men” in 1937. The story reflects his time on ranches in small California communities where he had plenty of time to discover how the ranchers and farmers lived.

The dark tale focuses on two characters — the magnificently portrayed George (Jacob Sidney) and Lennie (Nicholas Mongiardo-Cooper). However the entire cast is totally immersed in their roles and present their characters to the audience as if Steinbeck himself is telling the story. Set during the Great Depression, the tough migrant ranchers work hard for their money. George doesn’t work as much because he’s a full-time caretaker of the mentally disturbed Lennie, who likes soft things like rabbits and the fabrics on girls’ dresses. It’s all George can do to not have Lennie keep making the mistakes he made in the past. Ranchers Slim (J. Stephen Brantley), Whit (Justin Lang), and Carlson (Max Macke) portray the workers. Candy (John Greenleaf)

is great as the old, timeworn rancher. George comes up with an idea for a better life, but real life intervenes. He’s accused by the Boss’ (Ted Barton) son Curley (Wallace Bruce), of touching his wife (Sierra Jolene). Things escalate when Lennie visits Crooks (Laurence Brown) and a tragic incident jeopardizes the jobs of the ranchers. The design team has done a great job with staging that breathes life into every moment of the play. ■ IF YOU GO: “Of Mice and Men” runs through Nov. 19 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Tickets: $45-$56. (858) 481-1055, northcoastrep.org

The Art that Hitler Hated

Historian gives intensely personal lecture at the Athenaeum BY COREY LEVITAN Cornelia Feye dances her laser pointer around a slide of German expressionist Emil Nolde’s “The Last Supper.” The art historian explains what Adolf Hitler hated about the 1909 painting. “The crime (Nolde) was accused of was insolent mockery of the divine,” Feye tells a packed Athenaeum Music & Arts Library house of 60 on Oct. 24. The theme of the third of four lectures in Feye’s series, “German Art of the 20th Century,” sounds like fodder for a Mel Brooks movie scene. Why would anyone care what paintings Adolf Hitler hated? But it’s actually a thing. Called “degenerate art” — Hitler’s phrase — it’s been taught for decades in art history classes. And it has deep relevance to the horrors of the Holocaust because Nazism was largely a product of Adolf Hitler’s aesthetic sensibility. The Aryan ideal was heavily predicated on a look Hitler wanted his nation to achieve, one celebrated by his favorite painter, Adolf Ziegler, in his paintings of muscular nudes in the classical Greek tradition; a look that, ironically, Hitler didn’t possess himself. “When Hitler came to power, he immediately started championing art that was important to him,” Feye said before the lecture. “He built a house of art in Munich and he had a large model of the Fuhrer Museum he wanted to build in his

hometown. He kept that model with him until the bunker. That’s how important art was to him.” Hitler hated any art that was non-white (including, of course, Jewish), pro-communist, or that lacked realism. (“Sheer insanity” was his label for abstract art.) “He hated pretty much everything except a very, very tiny group of art that he cultivated around himself,” Feye said, “anything that didn’t completely conform Cornelia Feye to his narrow margins.” In 1937, Hitler commanded Ziegler to rip around 5,000 of the most offensive examples off the walls of art museums all around Germany, then display 650 of them in Munich to stoke public scorn. But the Degenerate Art Exhibition had quite the opposite effect. Four times as many Germans attended it than the Hitler-sponsored Great German Art Exhibit across the street — two million in four months. “People were astounded at the quality of the work,” Feye said. “It was basically a who’s who of modern art — Marc Chagall,

Since its inception in 1986, the Foundation has awarded approximately $862,000 in scholarships to 204 students and in agriculture education grants.

Max Beckmann, Wassily Kandinsky — hardly any great art was exempted.” Most of tonight’s attendees interviewed by La Jolla Light say they came to all three of Feye’s lectures because they love anything to do with art history. “I learned a lot tonight,” says Kirby Kendrick of Mission Hills, who is an artist herself. “I thought the Degenerate Art Exhibition was put on by the artists themselves, as a rebellion thing like the Salon des Refuses in Paris.” But some came because of the Hitler connection. “We have to pay attention to history — that’s the main message,” said La Jolla resident Judy Newman. “I think of what’s happening today, with people following egotistical, self-centered leaders who have charisma.” Many attendees professed not knowing that Hitler was an aspiring painter. He applied to the Fine Art Academy in Vienna, according to Feye, and got rejected twice. (The director wrote that he was unfit for painting and might want to study architecture instead. Hitler couldn’t, because he didn’t finish high school.) “There is a theory that if Hitler had been accepted at the art academy, maybe the world would have been spared a lot of suffering,” Feye said. “I don’t know. I wouldn’t want to go too far and say it explains the Holocaust.” Although none were murdered by the

Nazis, artists fingered as degenerate were forbidden to produce their art, fired from their day jobs and threatened with arrest. Many of their confiscated paintings subsequently went missing; some still are. A decade or so ago, when Feye worked at the San Diego Museum of Art, she said she was part of a team tasked with determining the provenance of all art the museum purchased from 1933 to 1945. “They wanted to make sure none of it was stolen,” Feye said. “They would ask me to translate some of the source material and witness reports of the Jewish art collectors.” Feye said the team flagged one painting for return, a Peter Paul Rubens she said “had been obtained under questionable circumstances.” Feye’s interest in German art of the Nazi era is intensely personal. The Point Loma resident is German and grew up in the shadows of the atrocities. Her father and grandfather were soldiers in the German army. “There was no choice,” she said. “What were they going to do? My father was a good person and he was not in the SS. He was just an infantry cavalry man, and he couldn’t refuse. When I was growing up, it was hard to be proud to be a German,” Feye added. “It’s still a national karma.” Feye’s fourth and final German art lecture, “Art of Two Germanys, 1945-1989: The Art of a Divided Nation,” was held Oct. 31 at The Athenaeum, 1008 Wall St.

Dream Dinners offers ease for healthy, home-cooked meals

La Jolla Cultural Partners

North County residents can take advantage of a home-cooked meal without the hassle of going to the store and prepping thanks to Dream Dinners, which has a location in Solana Beach. The 15-year-old franchise, which has more than 75 locations across the country, offers a variety of new meals every month that caters to different diets. “We help busy families reconnect around the dinner table by making it easy to serve a homemade meal, even on the busiest weeknights,” said Kate Patterson, owner of the Solana Beach store, which has been open for 12 years. “We take care of all the planning, shopping and prep so that all the busy cook needs to do is thaw meals for the week, and cook them.” Patterson, who took over ownership in 2013, said the store’s regular guests save about 20 hours and $200 on groceries and takeout, on average, every month. All ingredients are restaurant quality and locally-sourced whenever possible. Kim Martin, the Solana Beach store’s manager of seven years, said their clientele is anyone who wants healthy, homemade dinners. Meals come in medium and large sizes to accommodate families between two and six people. She said while there are a number of meal delivery options out there today, she likes to

However, she said, there are a few differences that make Dream Dinners stand out among the rest. “First and foremost, we take care of prepping all the ingredients, which saves a ton of time,” she said. “For example, if a recipe calls for diced green onions, the mail-order dinner options will send a bunch of onions. At Dream Dinners, the onions are chopped and ready to add to the recipe. Also, we believe our cooks know their families best, so all our recipes can be customized.”

COURTESY

Monthly menus include 17 to 20 different meals, with beef, chicken, pasta and seafood options. Each guest determines the number of meals they want to order based on the number of nights they want to serve a meal from Dream Dinners. “Most choose to serve our dinners at least three nights a week, but some prepare Dream Dinners five or six nights a week,” Martin said. “Some of our guests with larger families come in twice a month.” Customers choose when they want to come in and assemble their meals. The

activity is fun for the entire family to join in, Patterson said. Dream Dinners offers morning, evening and weekend sessions throughout the month. A guest can also choose for Dream Dinners to assemble their meals for them. “About one-third of our guests use our Made For You service, which we are offering free in December to help with the holidays,” Patterson said. “Although we are not a subscription, we encourage our guests to sign up every month. Once serving home-cooked meals becomes a lifestyle habit, they never go back to take-out. They also receive extra rewards under our loyalty program.” Dream Dinners also hosts parties and fundraisers. Special introduction offers are available for first-time visitors who want to try Dream Dinners. To help with the holidays, the company also offers complete turkey dinner meals with appetizers, like mini chicken pot pies. “We’re geared up to take the extra work and stress out of cooking,” Martin said.

Local author zeroes in on NSA in new thriller novel BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY bout a decade ago, Stu Schreiber became fascinated with the National Security Agency. He began reading articles about the intelligence organization, but was still left wondering, what did this group actually do? "The more I read, the more I was intrigued because the information that was out there just read like legalize," recalled the 43-year Del Mar resident. The thoughts eventually evolved into "January Chronicles: Isaac's Legacy," the first in a series of books written by Schreiber that focuses on a NSA worker. The 434-page thriller and science fiction novel, released July 28 through 27th Street Publishing, follows Isaac Stone, a longtime National Security agent, who predicts two of the biggest recent events that change the course of history. During Isaac's story, he meets a younger single mother, January Cooper, and the two begin a friendship. Eventually, their quiet lives become shaken up during a tragedy. But the book, which Schreiber conceptualized over the course of a few years and two different ideas, didn't always focus on this storyline. While the NSA was always a focal point in the story, which the author thought he had completed in spring 2013, Shreiber's tale changed dramatically in June that year. Edward Snowden, an American computer professional, former Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) employee, and former contractor for the United States

“January Chronicles: Isaac’s Legacy” was released in July.

Stu Schreiber

government, copied and leaked classified information from the National Security Agency (NSA) in 2013 without authorization, inspiring Schreiber to alter his story. "Up until that time, most people knew very little about what this spy agency does," Schreiber said. "After Snowden released all those documents, and every newspaper and TV station devoted so much time to it, I had to go back and totally change the novel that I had written. I didn't want it to seem at all like I was playing on what he had written, and what he had written was part of what I wrote." As a result, the entire storyline, some characters and the title of the book were changed. The science fiction and thriller concepts differ from Schreiber's previous books,

showing he is not limited by genre. He started his career writing a series of books aimed to help small business owners, and his first leisure book, "August 9th" was a rock 'n' roll love story told in memoir style. "Isaac's Legacy" has received positive reviews since its July release, and Schreiber looks forward to writing more in the series. He said he is almost finished with the second book, "January Chronicles: Coop and the Cowboy," which he previews at the end of "Isaac's Legacy." He has also pitched it as a TV series and has met with networks and producers about his ideas. "It has the main ingredient that many of the female-oriented networks are looking for, and that is a strong heroine with a compelling story," he said. The novel is available at various online and retail outlets, including Amazon.com and Barnes & Noble. Schreiber will host an "Ask the Author" event at the Del Mar Library, 1309 Camino Del Mar, on Nov. 9 from 6 to 8 p.m. The event will include a question and answer period and Schreiber will also sign copies of "Isaac's Legacy." Schreiber has had careers as an entrepreneur, co-founder and CEO of a public company, insurance industry executive, business coach, spin instructor and racetrack clocker.

the BREEDERS’ CUP

DEL MAR • NOVEMBER 3 & 4, 2017

Numerous events offered at Breeders’ Cup and Bing Crosby Fall Race Meet BY KELLEY CARLSON fter many months of planning and prepping, the stage has been set for the 34th annual Breeders’ Cup World Thoroughbred Championships to come to Del Mar. It’s finally showtime. One of thoroughbred racing’s biggest events, the Breeders’ Cup consists of 13 Grade I races with purses and awards totaling more than $28 million. This year’s edition will be held “where the turf meets the surf” on Nov. 3 and 4 as part of the fall meet’s opening weekend. To enhance the experience, organizers arranged a weeklong Breeders’ Cup Festival, which began Oct. 28. Among the upcoming activities are:

Breeders’ Cup Sneak Peek Day at Del Mar (Nov. 2): There will be event merchandise for sale, special food and cocktails, an autograph session with jockeys and trainers, and an opportunity to win tickets for Friday and Saturday. ♦ Ponies & Poker (Through Nov. 2): Amateur and professional poker players, along with racing fans, athletes and celebrities, will gather at Ocean’s Eleven Casino in Oceanside for a Texas Hold ‘Em-style tournament and a chance to win $100,000. ♦ Breeders’ Cup Belly-Up Concert Series (Through Nov. 4): Performances by the B-52s and ‘80s cover band Tainted Love with DJ Scotto are slated. ♦ La Jolla Art Walk (Nov. 3): Guests can meander through galleries on a self-guided walking tour through the Village.♦ Art of the Horse (Through Nov. 4): Twenty life-size, fiberglass horse statues created by local artists are displayed throughout San Diego.♦

The connections of Finest City - which include trainer Ian Kruljac, and owners Wayne Seltzer and Tyler Seltzer of Rancho Santa Fe - display the Breeders' Cup trophy after winning the $1 million Breeders' Cup Filly & Mare Sprint in 2016. They are hoping for a repeat victory this year. While the Breeders’ Cup festivities end Nov. 4, there will still be plenty of action at Del Mar during the following three weeks. “It’s our fourth season of the Bing Crosby (fall) meet,” said Chris Bahr, director of events and promotions.

“We’re still trying to create more awareness throughout the community. We’re looking to keep the momentum, especially after the Breeders’ Cup.” One way Del Mar plans to accomplish that is with the return of concerts.The popular Reggae Fest featuring Iration will

be presented on Nov. 18, and rock band The Offspring will perform on Nov. 25. Two events previously on the Bing Crosby meet calendar will merge into one on Nov. 25 - the Craft Beer, Cider, Cocktail & Wine Fest, to be held in the

the BREEDERS’ CUP

DEL MAR • NOVEMBER 3 & 4, 2017

Breeders’ Cup has hosted many of horse racing’s most memorable moments

Goldikova (far outside, gray saddlecloth) is the only horse to win the same Breeders' Cup race three times the Mile. She did it in consecutive years (2008-2010). BY KELLEY CARLSON el Mar is about to become a part of Breeders’ Cup history. For the first time, the seaside oval will be hosting the event, set for Nov. 3 and 4 this year. It will be the 34th edition of the Breeders’ Cup World Thoroughbred Championships, and over the years,

the series has provided some of horse racing’s most memorable moments. The idea for the Breeders’ Cup began in 1982. Up until that point, there were no specifically designated races that brought together top-level runners to decide “the best of the best.” But a group of breeders from Kentucky, led by prominent farm

KELLEY CARLSON

owner John Gaines, formed a plan to create a single event that would help decide year-end championship honors and bring racing to further national attention. The first Breeders’ Cup - broadcast on NBC - was held Nov. 10, 1984, at the former Hollywood Park in Inglewood. The day consisted of

seven races with some of the fastest thoroughbreds from around the globe, and purses that totaled $10 million. The winner of the inaugural Breeders’ Cup race was Chief’s Crown, in the Juvenile division. But the most unforgettable race of the day came in the finale, the $3 million Breeders’ Cup Classic, when favorite Slew O’ Gold, Preakness Stakes winner Gate Dancer and 31-1 long shot Wild Again battled and bumped their way down the track in a dramatic stretch run. Wild Again finished in front by a head, but due to a steward’s inquiry, it took 10 minutes before he was officially declared the victor. Subsequent years brought more epic showdowns and displays of brilliance, especially in the Classic. In 1987, the Classic brought together Kentucky Derby champions Ferdinand and Alysheba, with Ferdinand

holding off the furious late run of Alysheba to win by a whisker and earn the title of Horse of the Year. Two years later, rivals Kentucky Derby and Preakness champion Sunday Silence and Belmont Stakes victor Easy Goer squared off for a fourth and final time to settle the question of who’s best, with Sunday Silence a neck in front at the finish. The “unconquerable, invincible, unbeatable” Cigar took the 1995 edition of the Classic during his 16-race win streak, while Tiznow fought off European invader Sakhee in 2001 to become the only horse to capture the race twice. One of the greatest Classics came in 2009, when the popular race mare Zenyatta kept her then-perfect record intact and beat “the boys” with a devastating last-to-first move.

the BREEDERS’ CUP

DEL MAR • NOVEMBER 3 & 4, 2017

Lady Eli shows courage on and off racetrack BY TOD LEONARD There is a story for every racehorse that will compete in the Breeders’ Cup at Del Mar. None is more inspiring than that of 5-year-old mare Lady Eli, who will race for a final time in Saturday’s Filly & Mare Turf. In July 2015, after she’d won the Belmont Oaks for the sixth straight win to start her career, Lady Eli stepped on a roofing nail on her way back to the barn. The wound became infected, and she developed laminitis, the usually fatal hoof condition for horses that led to the deaths of Secretariat and Barbaro, among others. At the depth of her illness, those in her team didn’t know if she’d survive. “We all know the percentages, and we weren’t at all thinking about racing her again,” said Chad Brown, Lady Eli’s trainer. “We just wanted her to survive, to have a long, pain-free life of being a broodmare. “Those first couple of days, first couple of weeks, we weren’t out of the woods. We had our guard up. Every day we came in we were

prepared for her taking a turn for the worse.” A 2010 study concluded that 95 percent of horses with laminitis die, but with around-the-clock care, Lady Eli fought her way back. “The remarkable thing is that she improved every day. She never took a step back,” Brown said. Then Lady Eli accomplished the incredible. She returned to racing in August 2016 and, with Irad Ortiz Jr. riding, has since won four times, including three straight heading into this Breeders’ Cup. Her other three finishes are runners-up, including a loss by a nose in last year’s Filly & Mare Turf to Queen’s Trust. The two horses meet again Saturday, and Lady Eli has been installed as the 5-2 morning-line favorite, while Queen’s Trust is 12-1. No matter the outcome, Lady Eli — winner of the 2014 Breeders’ Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf — will be sold in a Lexington, Ky., auction in November. “We’re very fond of her, obviously,” Brown said. “And I think for the sport, it’s been a great story on many

Jimmy Barnes, Baffert’s assistant since 1999, is back at work on crutches after suffering a fractured pelvis and internal bleeding Sept. 17 when a stable pony he was riding at Santa Anita lost its footing and fell on him. – Tod Leonard is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

the BREEDERS’ CUP

DEL MAR • NOVEMBER 3 & 4, 2017

FROM RACING, B14 became the first “Grand Slam” winner in horse racing with his Classic victory in 2015. Last year, Arrogate chased down fan favorite California Chrome to etch his place in history. For some thoroughbreds, the Breeders’ Cup has been an opportunity to show dominance in multiple years. The brilliant European filly Goldikova won the Breeders’ Cup Mile three years in a row (2008-2010), and California-based Beholder claimed the Juvenile Fillies as a 2-year-old (2012) and the Distaff at ages 3 and 6 (2013, 2016). A number of runners have captured two Breeders’ Cup races, including Ouija Board, Goldencents, Bayakoa, Royal Delta, Miesque, Lure, Da Hoss, Wise Dan, Midnight Lute, High Chaparral, Conduit, Mizdirection, Groupie Doll, Secret Circle and Stephanie’s Kitten. In order for horses to become eligible to compete in the Breeders’ Cup, they have to be nominated, either through the nomination of their sires (fathers) or a fee that their breeder pays by Oct. 15 of the year they are born. Then they must actually qualify for the championships through a points system, a challenge race, or selection by a panel of experts. Those who succeed are rewarded with a chance to win purses totaling in the millions, and a trophy that’s a bronze replica of the Torrie horse created by Giovanni da Bologna in the late 1580s in Florence. Flower blankets composed of beauty asters, golden asters, cremons and Cattleya orchids are draped across the winners. Over the years, fans have been able to see racing’s elite at various venues around the country, as the tracks take turns hosting the Breeders’ Cup. Among those that have rolled out the “purple” carpet are Santa Anita Park (Arcadia), Churchill Downs (Louisville, Ky.), Belmont Park (Elmont, N.Y.), and Gulfstream Park (Hallandale Beach, Fla.). Now, it’s Del Mar’s turn.

the BREEDERS’ CUP

Seabiscuit in 1938 COURTESY OF THE DEL MAR HISTORICAL SOCIETY

Welcome Breeders' Cup fans and horses!

s you make history this week here in Del Mar, it might be fun to reflect on those who came before you. Yes, that is a picture of the now-famous Seabiscuit edging out the favorite Ligarotti on Aug. 12, 1938, right here in Del Mar. “The Biscuit,” owned by C.S. Howard, was “an undersized horse with a short tail and knees that wouldn’t straighten,” according to Bill Arballo, a Del Mar journalist at the time. Ligarotti was co-owned by Howard’s son, Lin, and Bing Crosby. The rivalry was fierce between father and son and a challenge it became between the jockeys and horses with

a $25,000 purse and winner-take-all. Seabiscuit went on to become a legend in horse racing! Thanks to Nancy Ewing and her book Del Mar Looking Back for all the good history. Also to Bill Arballo for Del Mar Reflections. For more information about their books and the Del Mar Historical Society, go to www.delmarhistoricalsociety.org or drop the Del Mar Historical Society a note at 225 9th St., Del Mar, CA 92014 or email info@delmarhistoricalsociety.org.

Beware Phony Treatments for Spider and Varicose Veins It is inevitable that for any medical condition, theories will pop up for how to treat these conditions with home remedies, with cheap and practical solutions that “really work.” Most are schemes hatched by snakeoil peddlers, with no medical background, who are seeking to make some easy money by either pitching a product that can be put together in their home kitchen or can gain them followers (and advertising revenue) on social media. While some phony treatments will just make users look a little foolish, some can even be hazardous to your health. 1. Tomato Slices. Apparently, there is a myth that tomatoes will remedy varicose veins if you slice them and put the slices on the capillaries, then wrap the area with a bandage. This is not true. Putting food on your legs will not cure spider veins. But you may smell like a salad. 2. Garlic and other herbal remedies. This time, the myth goes that the garlic

should be consumed daily to remedy poor circulation and reduce inflammation (although one “remedy” does suggest making a paste out of minced garlic and alcohol and spreading it on your legs). Now, perhaps if you have varicose veins and are worried about attracting the attention of vampires, then by all means, paste away. But otherwise, this is nonsense. Garlic may have some useful benefits as part of any wellbalanced diet, but it is not a medicine any more than a tomato, and it will not “cure” spider or varicose veins. The same is true for herbals such as witch hazel and horse chestnut, which are purported to effectively treat venous insufficiency and prevent leg cramps and swelling of the ankles and varicose veins but actually do nothing. Horse chestnut can even be toxic if prepared at home. 3. Cold showers. While cold water or ice packs can help reduce swelling in the legs, thereby reducing pressure on your legs, the coolness won’t cure your spider veins. But it may help swollen legs feel better after a long day. 4. Supplements. The supplements industry is huge. And of course, it is enticing to imagine that taking natural herbs and vitamins can keep you in the peak of health or even, dare to dream, cure what ails you. However, taking supplements, even the popular Vitamin K and butcher’s broom, will not “cure” spider or varicose veins. In

fact, supplements aren’t regulated by the FDA, so there is no oversight on what gets put into them and how much, and studies are often not conducted on their effects or their general safety. Always be careful when taking supplements, and consult your doctor to see what would be of any benefit. 5. Apple cider vinegar and natural oils. This is a popular one, that apple cider vinegar is a miracle potion that can keep you from ever visiting a doctor again. While it may have good dietary benefits when taken in small doses, it won’t fix your spider or varicose veins. Similarly, proponents rave about the miraculous restorative effects of oils such as emu oil and castor oil, but sadly, these claims are untrue. Notice the pattern here. Food or herbs or spices may be beneficial dietary components, but they won’t fix you, weather you consume it or rub it onto your skin. 6. Food can’t cure veins, but yoga can. No, yoga can’t “cure” veins. Low impact yoga may help with overall health, has been known to reduce blood pressure, and can help maintain a healthy body weight. 7. Aloe Vera is a proven natural cure. Aloe vera is good for protecting cuts while they heal, and it has cooling properties that can soothe the skin. But spider veins and varicose veins aren’t problems of the skin; they are problems of the veins and a sign of a venous disorder. No topical rub or cream can remove your problem veins.

Look to these local authorities for professional guidance on daily living at lajollalight.com/our-columns/

There is no “cure” for spider or varicose veins. By avoiding a visit to a doctor or vein specialist, you could even be jeopardizing your health by allowing a medical condition to worsen. Treatment for spider and varicose veins includes laser treatment and sclerotherapy, respectively, which remove existing problem veins but do not magically eliminate the condition. If you are susceptible to spider or varicose veins, which come from a weakening of the venous walls, there is no potion to reverse these effects. There is no one “type” of person who is prone to spider and varicose veins, and if you’re genetically predisposed to them, chances are good that you will get them in your lifetime. However, to maintain optimum venous health, you can reduce the risk of worsening the condition by maintaining a healthy blood pressure, which means regular lowimpact exercise, eating a well-balanced diet and staying away from foods that can increase blood pressure, and maintaining a healthy weight to avoid additional strain on the blood vessels.

Rock Cornish Game Hens with Rhubarb Sauce Let’s talk turkey and other fowls for a nontraditional feast: Part 1 “We’re having something a little different this year for Thanksgiving. Instead of turkey, we’re having swan. You get more stuffing.” — George Carlin

of saturated, mono and polyunsaturated fats (although the latter two have comparable benefits to heart-healthy olive oil). So for the cholesterol-conscious, eat moderately. The most popular breed in the United States is the White Pekin, flavorful without the overpowering gamey taste, along with leaner, more tender meat. The Mallard, a medium-sized wild duck has lean yet greasy tasting flesh that also tends to be a little tough. The Muscovy, which has a strong grass-fed beefy taste is mostly used for its liver to make fois gras. (It’s now legal again in California after a court judgment reversed the statewide ban.) Whatever breed you choose, trim excess fat, score the breast skin and poke with several holes before roasting to create a leaner meat with a crispy flavorful skin. A whole roasted duck with a citrus or port glaze and wild rice pilaf is a festive and luxurious way to celebrate the holidays. Get your Goose On: This succulent waterfowl has been the centerpiece of Christmas tables in Europe for centuries, and would be equally appropriate (and delicious) for the November feast. Like duck, the goose is exclusively dark meat, yet more of a reddish hue reminiscent of a medium rare cut of prime rib roast. But unlike its wild

either American historians nor food folklorists really know why the geeky, mostly flightless turkey with Styrofoam-textured flesh was designated as the celebratory bird of the Thanksgiving table other than the fact that it is native to America. Pilgrim records of the first Thanksgiving, when the colonists and Wampanoag Indians shared the autumn harvest, describe a Paleo-style menu that included wild turkey along with lobster, mussels, deer, geese, ducks and swan. If you’re tired of the traditional, coma-inducing turkey dinner here’s a round-up of divine birds to grace the holiday table and seduce intrepid palates. Quack, quack, honk, honk. Ducks in a Row: Duck has a slightly gamey, rich flesh that’s completely dark, even the breast meat. Along with a rich store of protein, the juicy fowl contains a load of essential vitamins and minerals, especially stress-relieving B’s, immune boosting zinc, and heme iron, an easily absorbable form of the mineral to ward off anemia and fatigue. Alas, it is also a fatty bird containing a blend

■ Ingredients: Four 1-pound Cornish hens (rinsed, patted dry); 1 1/2 cups diced rhubarb; 1/2 cup dried currants; 1/4 cup grape juice; 2 oranges, zested, juiced; 1/2 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary; 1/8 teaspoon ground allspice; 1/3 cup Drambuie liqueur; 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened; 1 cup chicken stock; 4 sprigs sage. ■ Method: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. Combine rhubarb, currants, juices, zest, rosemary, allspice and Drambuie in mixing bowl. Set aside. Rub hens with butter. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to roasting pan. Roast 15 minutes. Reduce GREGORY BERTOLINI heat to 350 degrees F. Transfer rhubarb mixture to roasting pan, spreading around hens. Add chicken stock. Cook 30 minutes or until temperature at thickest part of thigh reaches 160 degrees F and juices run clear. Transfer hens to ceramic serving platter. Place roasting pan on stovetop over medium heat. Bring sauce to simmer. Swirl in butter. Season with salt and pepper. Spoon sauce around hens. Garnish with sage sprigs. (Serves 4) — Recipe courtesy of Bernard Guillas, executive chef at The Marine Room

cousin, it has its fat content in and beneath the skin with mostly lean flesh. Most commercial geese are proprietary hybrids reared free-range and grass-fed. For a more tender bird, select a 10- to 12-pounder. Standing advice: Trim excess fat from the neck, and gently pierce the skin with the tip of a sharp knife. Season the skin and cavity with sea salt, pepper, garlic, lemon, fresh sage and thyme. Place the whole bird on a bed of assorted root vegetables and roast in a moderate oven until golden brown. Periodically remove the melted fat from the pan with a basting bulb. Rock Stars: For an intimate gathering,

serve individual Rock Cornish Hens to each guest. This hybrid cross between Cornish and Plymouth Rock chickens produces a miniature bird, both male and female ranging from two to four pounds, while the Cornish Game Hen is a young female that weighs less than 2.2 pounds. These are not game birds despite the name, rather broilers with mostly tender white meat, high in protein and low in calories (about 800). They cook quickly, even when stuffed with traditional wild rice and cranberries, and make an elegant change up from the big old bulky turkeys. The downside, no leftovers.

In celebration of 50 years of community building through philanthropy and innovative programs, the Jewish Community Foundation is holding an anniversary brunch on Sunday, Nov. 12, at the Hilton La Jolla Torrey Pines from 11 a.m.-1:30 p.m. Carol Leifer, Emmy nominee, producer and comedy writer for such highly-acclaimed shows such as Seinfeld, Saturday Night Live, and Modern Family will share her story with dignitaries, community leaders, grantees, donors, and partners. As a nonprofit philanthropic service provider, the Foundation helps match philanthropic passions of donors with grantee recipients from the community and around the world. The Foundation provides support in numerous ways, ranging from researching causes to advising on gift structuring and tax considerations. In addition, the Jewish Community Foundation provides educational programs on charitable opportunities and offers post-lifetime charitable planning. Donors look to the Foundation to play

a critical role in ensuring the highest impact and most meaningful philanthropy is achieved. “The leadership of the Jewish Community Foundation and the contributions made by donors over the last 50 years have added significantly to the fabric of San Diego and beyond,” said Past Board Chair Jeff Silberman. “As we reflect on the past, we want to empower our younger generations to help build a continued legacy of philanthropy and leadership.” Already a national model for its legacy endowment building and inventive young philanthropy programs, this year the Foundation introduced to donors an Impact Investment Pool, which allows them to invest their philanthropic dollars for social impact, while also receiving a financial return on the investment. This is the first Jewish community foundation in the country to offer an Impact Investment Pool. The Jewish Community Foundation’s Anniversary Celebration Brunch is $100 per person.
