Public to vote on Del Mar City Hall choice BY KRISTINA HOUCK Community members will once again have an opportunity to voice their choice on a new city hall, as Del Mar City Council’s top concepts will soon go to a vote. After the third public workshop in October, the council regrouped on Nov. 17 to review the results and recommend next steps for replacing the deteriorating facilities at 1050 Camino del Mar. More than 70 people attended the Oct. 29 workshop, where 57 percent of attendees wanted a civic center-only complex, while 40 percent preferred a mixed-use village concept. With residents clearly divided, council members decided to further develop three alternatives and return to the public for more feed-
back. “We got some input from the workshop, but I will feel better if we allow everybody to get it in their hands and look at it,” said Councilman Terry Sinnott. With a goal to have some form of public vote, the council asked staff to further develop three concepts and return in December with costs and timelines. The “basic” option, which has no commercial or residential uses, features a 9,250-square-foot city hall, a 3,200-square-foot town hall, a 15,000-square-foot plaza and required parking. The second option includes the same basic municipal plan with additional parking and flexible space to allow future development. In this concept, the city hall See CITY HALL, page 6

Solana Beach OKs pedestrian gate for San Dieguito Park BY KRISTINA HOUCK Solana Beach residents will soon have an easier way to access San Dieguito Park, after the City Council Nov. 12 unanimously approved a conceptual parking and landscape design for the park that includes a pedestrian entry gate. Although the county owns the 125-acre park, some community members frequent the park so much that they have requested a
gate at Lomas Santa Fe Drive and Highland Drive. City officials approached the county with the idea about two years ago, but the proposal was recently revisited after Supervisor Dave Roberts contacted the city to also reconfigure parking and relandscape the area. Longtime Solana Beach resident Roger Boyd said pedestrians enter the park through the vehicle
entrance or walk around the end of the fence in order to enter. “It’s inconvenient and sometimes not too safe,” said Boyd, who visits the park with his grandchildren. “The city of Solana Beach is fortunate that San Diego County has reconsidered their previous denial of this project, and I thank Supervisor Roberts for his support.” Originally, the county wanted See GATE, page 16
West Ocean Air Drive parking plan aims to prevent accidents BY KAREN BILLING Some Torrey Hills residents, fearing that a street clogged with cars has created an accident waiting to happen, are requesting help from the Torrey Hills Community Planning Board to install bike lanes as a possible solution. At the Nov. 13 meeting, the board did not support adding a bike lane on West Ocean Air Drive from Via Mar de Delfinas to Via Cangrejo, but instead voted for a compromise: making one side of the street a no-parking zone. See PARKING, page 6

California Chrome expected to race at Del Mar track BY ED ZIERALSKI, SPECIAL TO NEWS, TIMES, SUN Kentucky Derby and Preakness Stakes winner California Chrome likely will race at Del Mar on Nov. 29, in a race that could affect the outcome of Eclipse Award voting for Horse of the Year and top 3-year-old. Trainer Art Sherman said Nov. 12 that he nominated California Chrome to the Grade I Hollywood Derby at 1 1/8 miles on the turf course for 3-year-olds that day, and the Grade III, $200,000 Native Diver at 1 1/8 miles on the Polytrack against older horses on the same card. Sherman said he prefers to run California Chrome on the turf. “I talked to the jockeys, and they all like that turf course right now,” Sherman said. “It’s the last year for the Polytrack, and I just think he’ll like that turf course.

Panel rejects Seagrove site for Alvarado House BY KRISTINA HOUCK The Del Mar Historical Society is looking for a new home for the Alvarado House after the Parks and Recreation Committee voted against relocating the historical house to Seagrove Park. “Aesthetically, it belongs in the park, but politically, we can’t fight that battle,� said Larry Brooks, president of the Del Mar Historical Society, which has collected, preserved and displayed the city’s historical facts, artifacts and properties since it was founded in 1985. “A nonprofit, especially in a small town, can’t alienate people.� Built in 1885, the Alvarado House was given to the Del Mar Historical Society in 1985 when its new owner decided to build a bigger home on the lot at the foot of 10th Street, where the 600-square-foot home sat for a century. It was moved to the city hall parking lot for four years, and then relocated to the Del Mar Fairgrounds, where it’s been since 1989. Although initial efforts failed years ago,
the historical society recently revisited relocating the house to Seagrove Park on Coast Boulevard, but some community members protested the idea for fear of losing open space. Del Mar resident Kay Hansen launched a petition, collecting dozens of signatures from people against Alvarado House at Seagrove Park, and their voices were heard at the Parks and Recreation Committee meeting Nov. 12. “We knew it was going to be an uphill battle,� Brooks said. No longer pursuing the park, Brooks said the Del Mar Historical Society hopes to relocate the house to the “second best option,� the site for the new city hall and civic center. At the Nov. 17 council meeting, he asked council members to consider a civic center concept that would provide space for the house, such as the Leeger/Watkins proposal, which features a 25,000-square-foot plaza intended for the Del Mar Farmers Market, social and cultural events, and potentially, the Alvarado House.
Dangerous device found in truck near Del Mar BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A possible explosive device was found Nov. 16 during a search of a suspected drunken driver’s pickup truck near the Interstate 5 and 805 split near Del Mar. Officers pulled over Charles Fouquette’s 2008 Toyota Tundra for an alleged speed violation in the southbound freeway lanes around 6:40 a.m. and initially arrested the 52-year-old for suspicion of drunken driving, San Diego police Officer Dan Lasher said. Following his arrest, officers taking an inventory of his truck found some type of device that they believed was explosive, Lasher said. The California Highway Patrol closed several freeway lanes as bomb squad personnel disposed of the device, Lasher said. Lasher said Fouquette is also expected to face a charge of possession of a dangerous device.
Fundraising tiles available to help fund Veterans Honor Courtyard BY KRISTINA HOUCK After Solana Beach honored service members during its annual Veterans Day ceremony, city and county officials broke ground on a courtyard that will honor past, present and future services members every day. “Gratitude is a really important quality to work into your daily life,� said Deputy Mayor Lesa Heebner. “To be able to have something like this in our community, which is close to so many of us in our small city, reminds us to be thankful. We have a lot to be thankful for.� Located at La Colonia Park, the Veterans Honor Courtyard will feature a stone veneer wall with military seals behind a reflecting pool, honoring all U.S. veterans, living and deceased, as well as those who are serving at home and abroad. The $200,000 project is funded by city and county grants, as well as private donations. To raise funds for the project, former Mayor Tere Renteria, who has spearheaded the project, and other volunteers are selling 1-foot square tiles

Before the ceremonial groundbreaking, Renteria said that she needed a little more than $8,000 to fully fund the project. She received more than $1,000 in donations and tile sales before and after the ceremony, she said. Tiles are still available for $300 each. “I can’t even imagine doing what these servicemen and women do,� said Heebner, who added that the community hopes to hold a ribbon-cutting for the courtyard on Memorial Day. “I have such admiration and respect for those who serve our country and fight for us so we can have this freedom.� For information on the courtyard or to purchase a tile, visit vetshonor.org.

Torrey Hills board OKs landscape enhancement for long-vacant lot BY KAREN BILLING The dusty dirt lot under the SDG&E easement on West Ocean Air Drive in Torrey Hills will finally get some love as the Torrey Hills Community Planning Board was at last given plans to enhance the property at a price tag it could handle. Instead of the $450,000 enhancement project the board has been pitched over the past few years, the city presented a plan for native plant restoration, temporary irrigation and some decomposed granite cover at a cost of $60,000. In May, the board voted that a simple landscaping project should not cost in excess of $450,000 and pulled its funding from the city’s coffers. For years, members worked with the city to get the cost of the project
down to a reasonable level. The price was driven up by soft costs like consultant work, a site development permit and an environmental process. Paul Sirois, the city’s assistant deputy director of the open space division and maintenance assessment districts, said that throughout the summer, the board has been working with the Torrey Hills Maintenance Assessment District on exploring ways to cut costs. The new plan will not require a site development permit and is basically a landscape buffer. There won’t be the trees, boulders, a bench and shade structure of the original plan, but the board was content that a neighborhood blight will finally be improved.
Busby recognized at final school board meeting Boogie down: Del Mar Shores beach stair officially open BY KRISTINA HOUCK Solana Beach-goers can now easily access the city’s southernmost shoreline, thanks to the reopening of Del Mar Shores access stairway. Although the stairway has been open since early October, city officials and community members officially celebrated the reconstruction of the structure with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Nov. 12. “It’s beautiful and it looks very sturdy,” said Deputy Mayor Lesa Heebner. “It will be well used for years to come.” Funded by nearby property owners, the staircase was built in the 1970s and deeded to Solana Beach after it became a city in 1986. The deteriorating stairway was deemed unsafe and closed indefinitely in November 2012. Construction of the new structure began at the start of the year. The $1.1 million project, which includes a lifeguard tower, was funded by a $200,000 grant from the California Coastal Conservancy, beach and public recreation fees collected by the city and the city’s general fund.
BY KRISTINA HOUCK After nearly a decade of service to the Solana Beach School District, Jeff Busby is retiring from the Board of Education. Busby’s fellow board members presented him with a certificate of recognition during his last board meeting Nov. 13. “Thank you for your service to the students and the community of Solana Beach,” said Superintendent Nancy Lynch. “I have appreciated your leadership, your calm focus, creative ideas and wisdom. You’ll be missed.” After serving nine years on the board, Busby opted not to run for reelection. Newcomer Holly Lewry will be taking his seat in December.
Outgoing board member Jeff Busby, at right, is presented with a certificate of recognition for his work.

Piloted by Victor Espinoza, the 2-year-old No Problem covered the 7 furlongs on the Polytrack in 1:23.48, notching his second win in three outings. “Take nothing away from the little horse,” said trainer Mike McCarthy, who celebrated his first graded stakes victory. “He’s very gritty, does everything right in the mornings, loves to train and loves his job. He persevered here going into the final turn, got bumped around a little bit, but was game enough to hold on.” No Problem is owned by P & G Stables, composed of Hernando Guitierrez and Nerina Morales of Southwest Ranches, Fla.

Man killed in suspected drunk driving crash in SB BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A suspected drunken driving crash early Nov. 14 on Interstate 5 in Solana Beach left a 41-year-old Delaware man dead and the 55-year-old driver injured and facing vehicular man-
slaughter charges. Robert Mark Slusarenko of Long Beach was driving a 1998 Ford Explorer north on the freeway north of Lomas Santa Fe Drive shortly after 2 a.m., veered to the right and went up an embank-

BY KAREN BILLING A new recreation center may be in the works for Torrey Hills Neighborhood Park. Howard Greenstein, park designer from the city of San Diego’s planning department, came before the Torrey Hills Community Planning Board at the Nov. 13 meeting to discuss plans for the center on the fouracre site at the park that has been left vacant for 16 years and serves as “a gopher warren.” Back in 2002, plans were approved for the YMCA of Encinitas to build a recreation center at the park, complete with a swimming pool. In 2007, the Y canceled plans for the facility as it could not raise enough funds. The city’s proposed recreation center is a “modest” 2,000-square-foot center that could provide office space, large and small multi-purpose rooms, restroom and storage. The anticipated cost is about $4.1 million, and the city hopes to have a final design in place by 2016. Chair Kathryn Burton said the addition to the park could include a basketball court or tennis courts — design and amenities would be determined through a community input process. The city is proposing to use several funds to help pay for the center, including
$1 million from a past developer contribution for a Torrey Hills recreation center, $1.1 million from the Torrey Reserve Gateway Development Funds and $454,000 from a Torrey Hills Development Agreement fund. Greenstein was seeking approval from the board to move the additional funds to the city’s capital improvement project budget to hire a consultant and begin the project design process. “It is our understanding that the community wants to see improvements on these four acres,” he said. “This would be the kickstart to getting it designed and getting it built.” The board was short on time and hesitant to let the city spend its money after the “really awful” process members went through on the landscape enhancement project on West Ocean Air Drive. Board member Peter Gilchrist said that the board is very interested in getting something down on that piece of land, but is fearful that once funding is approved, the fund would drain and there won’t be shovels in the ground. The board decided to table the issue until January until members could get a little more information.
whose name was not immediately available, died at the scene, Bettencourt said. Slusarenko was taken to Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla to be treated for moderate injuries. Bettencourt said that once Slusarenko is released from the hospital, he will be
booked into the Vista Detention Facility on suspicion of drunken driving and vehicular manslaughter. Three of the northbound freeway lanes were temporarily closed in the area following the crash, but were later reopened.

Gonzales Canyon group hoping to make connections for park users • Trail at area’s western edge evaluated for possible linking with planned, existing paths BY KAREN BILLING The Gonzales Canyon canyon enhancement planning group has started the process of putting an action plan together to improve the Carmel Valley canyon for public use and for the benefit of the wildlife and natural environment. The group kicked off its work in late October as part of San Diego Canyonlands citywide goals to promote canyon access, restoration, conservation, environmentbased education and ecologically sensitive recreation. As Eric Bowlby, executive director of San Diego Canyonlands said, they are tasked with balancing conservation of resources and open space enjoyment. “We could restore areas where unapproved trails have been established, which would reduce habitat fragmentation and erosion and provide a safer environment for wildlife,” Bowlby said. On approved trails, they want to make better community connections for hikers, bikers and equestrians.
“The challenges are to decide on and get linkages to other trail systems,” said Bowlby. At the canyon enhancement group’s first meeting, residents spoke about what an “incredible amenity” Gonzales Canyon is, stretching from communities around Torrey Pines High School out to Old El Camino Real and east to Pacific Highlands Ranch. The canyon is filled with a variety of habitats and meandering trails. The Torrey Pines Loop Trail, accessed off the trailhead near Torrey Highlands Park off Lansdale Drive, is the most challenging with 3.5 miles of sometimes steep terrain. The Sword Way Trail (with the trailhead on Sword Way off Lansdale Drive) is about two miles of level trail. It can be extended by taking a detour to the Lagoon Trail that winds through the canyon’s western end. On Nov. 12, the group went for a field visit to the canyon’s western edge, a trailhead off Old El Camino

Real, to see how this trail might be able to connect with existing and planned San Dieguito River Park trails. The Alta Del Mar development, composed of 10 luxury estate homes, is under construction on the mesa top. The group hiked a trail being built along the edge of the development down to a potential connection with San Dieguito River Park’s 1.7-mile Dirt Devil Nature Trail on El Camino Real and the Coast to Crest Trail. The group needs to find a safe way for people to cross El Camino Real to connect the trail from Gonzales with those trails. On their field visit, the group checked out a wildlife under-crossing under El Camino Real. It used to be very dark and uninviting three-box culvert, but is now an archway with an open grate in the middle acting as a skylight, leading out onto San Dieguito River Valley.

and town hall would be constructed on half the site, while the other half would remain undeveloped. The third option is a multi-use village concept, such as the one designed at no cost to the city by locals Jim Watkins and Kit Leeger. The concept by the fatherdaughter duo proposes a smaller city hall and slightly larger town hall at 8,450 square feet and 3,788 square feet, respectively, as well as 9,250 square feet of commercial space and six townhomes. In addition, the plan features a 25,000-square-foot plaza intended for the Del Mar Farmers Market and other social and cultural events. Deputy Mayor Al Corti was the only council member who voted against the council’s recommendation, believing that the city should further develop a basic design that would accommodate phased development. A multi-use site, he
noted, would trigger Measure B, a voter-approved initiative that governs large developments in the downtown area and could add a year to 18 months — or even longer — to the project. “I’m not afraid of a public vote; I’m not afraid of Measure B or what the outcome of that would be,” Corti said. “I just think that that’s three or four years down the road before we break ground and can provide a new city hall for our employees, and I don’t think that’s right.” His fellow council members, however, disagreed. Mayor Lee Haydu said she preferred a design that would feature the city hall and town hall on the lot’s south end, leaving the other space open for later development, but that members of the public should weigh in on their preferred plan. “I’m happy that we have those three options,” Sinnott said. “I think those three options are all viable.

Some of them have … a great deal of complications to them that will last longer, but I think it’s worth taking a formal measure of the community. … Then we can go into design knowing that we’re moving forward in a way that the community generally wants.”
PARKING continued from page 1
The planning board was hesitant to install a permanent solution like bike lanes that might force the problem into another area. Board Vice Chairman Guy Ravad said the solution eliminates about 15 parking spaces and improves visibility for residents on Corte Mar de Brisa and Corte Mar de Hierba. “I understand the need; my concern is that the risk isn’t going to be improved,” Ravad said. The source of the parking problem is believed to be overflow parking from the Torrey Villas apartment complex. A representative from The Irvine Company said that, per the direction of the city, the complex recently lost about 40 spaces as part of resizing spaces to ensure code compliance. According to Janie Hoover, a representative for Councilmember Sherri Lightner, the city never made any request for them to resize stalls. Hoover said Torrey Villas made a request to do parking changes but that had not yet been granted. A code enforcement officer went out to inspect the lot and found that the modifications had already been made. Hoover said code compliance has now started a case to make sure the developer is complying with city permits. ‘The acuteness of the problem could be evaded when code compliance gets involved,” Chair Kathryn Burton said. Resident Brian Britt led a presentation for the bike lane on behalf of the neighbors, more than 40 of whom were present at the meeting. “We are purely here because we’re concerned for our kids, we’re concerned for our parents and we’re concerned there’s going to be a serious incident,” Britt said. “It’s a safety issues we face every day,” said resident Jessica Reed. “We face risk every time we go on that street and we have to go though that street because it’s the only way in and out of the community.” Britt showed videos

Borchardt has noted that the height of the under-crossing appears lower because of about 10 to 12 inches of sediment that has filled in the crossing floor. At one point it was thought that the undercrossing could be used as a trail connection, but the height would limit horseback riders and people might not find the passageway appealing, leaving it for wildlife’s use only. As the group stood on the sidewalk on El Camino Real where the trail from the top of Alta Del Mar could meet, Shawna Anderson, principal planner for the San Dieguito River Park, discussed how community support is needed to make the El Camino Real bridge a safer passage for pedestrians, cyclists and horseback riders. An environmental impact report is being prepared on the plans to widen and re-align El Camino Real from San Dieguito
Derby).” Joe Harper, president and CEO of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, said that, other than Cigar’s appearance in the Pacific Classic in 1996 and Zenyatta in the Clement L. Hirsch Stakes in 2009, he couldn’t think of a bigger draw at Del Mar in recent history. “We’ll be delighted to have California Chrome here to run,” Harper said. “It will mean a lot to the fans here and a lot to racing.” Craig Dado, chief marketing officer at Del Mar, said his staff is working on plans to feature California Chrome and to do something special for his training session on the turf on Nov. 23 and for the race on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. “This changes things for Horse of the Year and top 3-year-old of the year, too,” Dado said. “If California Chrome wins another Grade I, that could change things in the voting.” California Chrome
Road to Via de la Valle, which would include a new bridge to replace the aging, narrow bridge from the 1920s. “People risk their lives every day crossing that bridge,” Anderson said. “The goal is to have safe passage, delineated from traffic.” Anderson said the River Park would like to see not only a marked bike lane on the new bridge but also, a cantilever — a separated multi-use trail — on the bridge’s west side. In 2012, the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board voted for the separated multi-use trail and Bowlby said that a cantilever is something their group would be interested in advocating. Some of the issues that have come up for Gonzales Canyon include trail erosion, invasive species such as poison oak, ice plant and Pampas grass, areas burned by fire or used as party/ hang-out spots, graffiti, and debris like old farm equipment. Residents also requested better standards for developer-built trails, maps on the kiosks, railings for bridges over streambeds, and appropriate signage, as mountain

In the race for top 3-year-old, Bayern leads California Chrome, followed by Untapable, Shared Belief and Tonalist. If California Chrome wins the Hollywood Derby it would give him four Grade I wins for the year, the same number as Main Sequence and two more than Bayern. He would equal the overall win totals of Bayern and Untapable (six each). Untapable, a 3-year-old filly, has won six of her last seven races, including the Breeders’ Cup Distaff. Her only loss was a fifth-place finish to male horses in the Haskell Invitational. Bayern has earned the most money of any horse this year with $4,389,680. California Chrome is next with $4,042,650.
bikes are allowed on all trails, but horses are allowed only on some. The group is also looking to make the trail link by Cathedral Catholic that was supposed to link to Carmel Mountain but was never completed. Most projects will be on City of San Diego Open Space Division land and will require agreement and approvals from community stakeholders and planning groups, the Parks and Recreation Department, Development Services Department and City Council. Resource agencies such as US Fish and Wildlife, California Department of Fish and Game may require permits for proposed enhancement projects. SD Canyonlands is seeking a blanket “programmatic” permit for all San Diego canyon projects including trails, habitat restoration and other amenities. The permit will cut the time and cost in half for projects that meet the permit criteria. The canyon enhancement group will continue to meet and host field visits.

pushed, and could get pushed anywhere in the community, and we’re not happy about that — but we feel there’s a safety issue that needs to be addressed,” Britt said. Ravad said that by installing the bike lanes, cars would probably fill up the two nearest courts, Corte Mar de Brisa and Corte Mar de Hierba.

Why hiring guru Philip Dana lives on LinkedIn BY JONATHAN HORN, SPECIAL TO NEWS/TIMES/SUN
Ask Philip Dana what he does for fun, and he answers without hesitation. “I’m on LinkedIn all the time,” he says, straightfaced. “It got me this job.” These days, Dana isn’t on the popular social media site for professionals to look for more work for himself. As Intuit’s new director of talent acquisition for its division that creates TurboTax, Dana is online to recruit employees. It’s a challenge, he says, to get people with skills in demand to come to San Diego when they’re also being sought by employers in places like Austin, the Bay Area and Seattle. Still, he says Intuit’s Carmel Valley operation, called the consumer tax group with about 1,200 employees, has a lot to offer on its lush campus. It’s filled with amenities like a modern gym with fitness classes, basketball and volleyball courts, and game rooms. Not to mention that it’s in San Diego. “I need that student sitting in Cornell who is the best developer, who’s talk-
Philip Dana is the new director of talent acquisition at Intuit’s Consumer Tax Group, its Carmel Valley operation that develops TurboTax. — K.C. Alfred photo ing to Google, Amazon, the others, to think Intuit and think San Diego,” Dana said. “We can surf, we’ve got craft beer down here, the Chargers are winning. I mean, are you kidding me?” Dana, 42, came to Intuit in late summer after stints at leading edge companies like Amazon, Life Technologies and NuVasive. He says there are 5,700 software openings in San Diego County but not enough lo-
cal qualified people to fill them. The U-T recently caught up with Dana to talk about how he’s going to find Intuit’s share of those people. His answers have been edited for length. Q: How does San Diego compete with the Silicon Valley and the Bay Area when it comes to recruiting? A: It’s very difficult to do, and that’s one of my challenges. My goals for this
job are to make Intuit an employer of choice, and to make San Diego a destination of choice. At Amazon I walked in and out of MIT and Cornell and grabbed the best developers because Seattle is an IT Mecca. Same with the Bay Area. San Diego doesn’t have that reputation. You talk to those students, and biotech is not a household brand or a household industry, but yet it’s one of the hottest industries on the face of the planet. Q: But we have great talent in San Diego, with world-class universities. What about recruiting locally? A: There’s great talent; unfortunately, there’s not enough to fit San Diego’s needs, so what do you do? Do you go to 20 events and spend 20 hours here in San Diego? We’re certainly going to go to events and look for local talent, but we can’t do it all here. We need to go to the Savannah College of Art and Design, and convince them to come to San Diego when they graduate. We have to go to MIT, which we partner with in the media lab there. The co-ops, the in-
terns, we need to expose this unique thing that we have here, this jewel to the masses. Q: You spent a few years working at Amazon. What was that like? A: San Diego and Seattle are different cultures. Amazon and Intuit are different cultures. They’re both awesome in their own way. This is probably less of a production environment, where Amazon felt like more of a production where days could be repetitive, with more supply chain logistics. Here, it’s all about dazzle and delight. It’s design, design, design. Watch and listen to our customer, and turn on a dime a product that has to go out to millions. Amazon is a single product going to your house, where here our single product touches a lot of people, so we better get it right. Q: We hear about the resume black hole for online applications. How do you feel about the saying it’s all about who you know? A: The nice thing is with a tech company, most of the candidates are fairly
social media- savvy, and most of us in talent acquisition and even our leadership are out and easy to connect with on platforms such as LinkedIn, Twitter, and career sites. Our career site is very social-enabled. Our platforms are also mobile-enabled, so we expect candidates to be engaging with us and researching us, using their devices, just like our consumers. Q: What’s your biggest advice to the job seeker? A: It’s networking. It’s always networking. You have to apply to a lot of companies, it’s just a part of the process. But then it’s what you do next, and I think the extra effort is an indicator of the type of talent we like here at Intuit as well. I applied, but then I started reaching out, getting on LinkedIn and, seeing who’s there, who I knew, who I might know. Lo and behold, one of my classmates works here. Are you kidding me? ‘Let’s go grab beers, tell me about the culture here.’ Take the extra steps. You apply, and then you have to know it.

San Diego Blood Bank holds Chargers Drive, looks to future with new ventures BY JOE TASH As the San Diego Blood Bank gears up to stage the 36th edition of its annual blood drive in partnership with the San Diego Chargers, the event is evolving in line with new initiatives under way at the nonprofit, which supplies blood to dozens of Southern California hospitals. David Wellis, 51, a Carmel Valley resident and former biotech executive, was hired last year to run the blood bank. He calls the new initiatives “Blood Bank 2.0,” an effort to expand the nonprofit’s reach and bring in new revenue that can be used to carry out its mission. Wellis is a trained cell biologist with a doctorate from Emory University. He spent some 20 years in the private sector before taking over at the San Diego Blood Bank in 2013. Most recently, he served as president of BioAtla LLC, an antibody drug development company with operations in San Diego and Beijing. In an interview, Wellis said the blood bank is not so different from a private company, because it manufactures biological products
San Diego Blood Bank CEO David Wellis and is regulated much like a pharmaceutical company. “It’s a business, and it needs to be run just like any other business, whether it’s for profit or nonprofit,” Wellis said. The blood bank’s core business, said Wellis, is providing blood under contract to some 90 hospitals in San Diego, Los Angeles, Imperial and Orange counties. “That will never change; we will continue to do that,” he said. But Wellis is pursuing other, related services that have the potential to bring in new revenue, and the money will be used for such purposes as equipment, em-
ployees and new initiatives. “It gives us the opportunity to have more impact on the community’s health,” he said. Among those new endeavors, he said, are expanding the blood bank’s role in medical research, and its health, wellness and education services. Those new areas of focus will be evident at Chargers Drive 2014, which will be held from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 25, at the Town and Country Resort in Mission Valley. Donors will be able to meet Chargers players, and visit an expanded Wellness Zone with interactive exhibits and activities, as well as provide additional blood samples to be used for research, said Wellis. The blood bank wants to educate donors that contributing blood for research is just as important as donating for transfusions, Wellis said. While a unit of blood can be divided into three components and potentially save three lives, a blood sample used by researchers who discover a new drug can potentially help millions, he said.
On the health and wellness side, he said, the blood bank’s donor centers and bloodmobiles could also be used to deliver basic services, such as flu shots, or conduct health screenings, he said. The blood bank’s traditional services of providing blood for transfusions to area hospitals continue to have an impact in the community. Lisette, a Carmel Valley resident who asked that her last name not be used to protect her family’s privacy, recently saw those benefits firsthand. While she was pregnant with her son, Elias, the baby needed three blood transfusions to protect him from a condition that could have led to fetal anemia. Two of the transfusions were provided before the baby was born, allowing him to remain in the womb until he was closer to full term, and the third was performed after his birth. Elias has since recovered fully. “He’s perfect, as any other 18-month-old. He’s healthy and happy,” said Lisette. “You’d really never know he had those issues,
because it was so well-managed and we were able to get the blood we needed when we needed it.” Donating blood, whether at the Chargers Drive, a donor center or bloodmobile, is particularly important at this time of year. Supplies are down because regular donors are on vacation or busy with the holidays. At the same time, demand is up because hospi-
tals are busier, said Wellis. “That makes it so important for people to come and donate now.” Wellis and his wife, Vinit, a pediatric anesthesiologist, have two children: a son who attends the University of San Diego, and a daughter who attends Francis Parker School, where Wellis sits on the board of trustees.
CV Middle School gets its own Junior Optimist Club BY KRISTINA HOUCK With the recent launch of Carmel Valley Middle School’s Junior Optimist Club, students on the campus will have plenty of opportunities to give back to the community. Sponsored by the Del Mar-Solana Beach Optimist Club, club members work to promote positive change in the community, while preparing for high school. “We hope to make their transition to their next level of education easier and also prepare them for their life beyond,” said Jim Parrotte, a Carmel Valley resident and youth club chair of the Del Mar-Solana Beach Optimist Club. Chartered on Oct. 31, Carmel Valley Middle School Junior Optimist Club has already grown to 30 members. Although the club is just weeks old, co-advisers Alisa Mitchell and Michael Starr and students are already planning a variety of service projects for the year, from collecting clothes for the homeless to gathering gifts for foster See CLUB, page 9

Local writer reaches out to others in abusive relationships through ‘Unchained Feather’ BY DIANE Y. WELCH Shahpar Ostovar of Carmel Valley has some sage advice to offer those who feel stuck in an abusive relationship: “Don’t give up; don’t fall into a trap of despair.� This advice is born from painful personal experience, when Ostovar found herself at age 15 married to a brutal man. Just released is her memoir, “Unchained Feather,� a story of her liberation and personal empowerment that Ostovar hopes will inspire others to find the strength to change their lives for the better. It retells Ostovar’s life in pre-revolutionary Iran. When her mother expressed a wish for Ostovar, then 13, to marry her music tutor, she agreed as she desperately wanted to please her. Within two years Ostovar was married, but soon she re- Shahpar Ostovar: ‘Don’t alized that she was “chained to a life� she did not want. give up,’ is her advice to “In Iran there is a saying, ‘You enter your husband’s those in abusive home in white, your wedding dress, and you will leave his relationships. Below: The house wearing white, your burial shroud,’� Ostovar said. cover of her book. Consequently, divorce is shameful even under the harshest conditions. Because of that shame, Ostovar endured years of abuse at the hands of her husband, 11 years her senior. But when a chance meeting with a friend opened her eyes to the possibility of higher education, she knew which path she had to take. “I was pregnant with my first baby, being beaten by my husband, but I realized that getting an education was a possible way out of my situation,� Ostovar recalled. With at-home tutoring, she studied for her diploma; then with the birth of her second child, she was able to move to Tehran, where she went to university, graduating with a degree in English literature. Empowered by her attainment at the age of 24, Ostovar demanded a divorce, and within three years it was granted. With the onset of Iran’s cultural revolution in 1980, Ostovar moved with her two sons — by then teenagers — to Italy, where she had a fresh and independent start with a career in the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. It took many years to tell her story, said Ostovar. But after having immigrated to the United States in 1998, she found the culture here and her open-minded friends receptive to her recollections. “I got to the point where I wasn’t ashamed any more, and I realized that I should be proud of myself for what I had done,� she said. Her book was written in collaboration with Bertha LaBozetta Leone, a professional writer based in Del Mar. The two women met at Del Mar Toastmasters. “We talked about the book in the beginning of 2010,� said Leone, who then later read an excerpt of the manuscript’s first draft at a Toastmasters meeting. “It got such good feedback, and people were so touched, that it gave us the momentum to get the book started.� Bringing the manuscript to its published form took 4 1/2 years, during which time the two women formed a “business partnership of mutual respect that turned into friendship,� said Leone. “I say one sentence and Bertha makes it become one chapter,� said Ostovar about the process. Leone was captivated by the events, people and decisions that led to this turning point in Ostovar’s young life. “I wanted to know more, in much greater detail,� Leone recalled. “Shahpar spoke about events in her life as she remembered them, but soon her fragmented stories began to come together into a cohesive whole in my mind to create the book.� With the book’s release, Ostovar aims to inspire women who are “not in a good position in their lives and they don’t know how to react to their problems,� she said. “We are all free beings and we need to be happy.� Visit http://www.unchainedfeather.com to learn more about the authors and to buy a copy of the book or to contact Shahpar Ostovar about book club discussions and presentations.
CLUB continued from page 8 children. “The youth is our future,� Parrotte said. “It’s important that we instill in them the purposes of Optimist International, which are good citizenship, respect for law and service to others.� For some of the projects, students might work alongside their Optimist counterparts at Canyon Crest Academy and Torrey
Pines High School. In addition to the middle school club, the Del Mar-Solana Beach Optimist Club also sponsors Canyon Crest Academy Ravens, a Junior Optimist Octagon International club founded in December 2012, and Torrey Pines Friendly Falcons, which launched last October. Both local clubs have more than 20 members. “What’s great about having a Junior Optimist Club at the middle school
level is that this club feeds into the two high schools that most of these youngsters will go to once they graduate eighth grade,� Parrotte said. “This gives them transitional skills, social skills and a place to go.� For information about local Junior Optimist clubs, visit www.optimistdelmarsolanabeach.com/junior-optimist.

SDJA student correctly calls 100 percent of Senate midterm elections In Stuart Pollock’s “Topics in History: Election 2014” upper school course at San Diego Jewish Academy, students were recently asked to “Create Their Own Map” to predict the outcome of the recent Senate races in the 2014 midterm elections. Seventy-five students created maps in October for the 2014 Senate races. The task was to assume the role of political analyst and not only choose the outcome of the swing states, but to justify their predictions. “My students don’t just throw a dart at the map,” said Pollock. “They do research and analyze data. They have to justify their decisions and predictions.” After consulting various polls, researching the candidates and their states, viewing campaign ads, and assessing the political landscape, students submitted their maps more than a week before election night. SDJA Junior Isaac Sluzky predicted 100 percent of the Senate races that have since been decided — an amazing feat, since he opted to pick against the polls in a handful of states. “Isaac pored over the data,” said Pollock. “He weighed the variables, looked at the polls, even the ads, and then made his predictions.” With Louisiana’s election going to a Dec. 6 runoff, the Academy will watch closely to see whether Isaac’s map turns out to be perfect (Isaac has predicted a Democratic win for Louisiana).
TPHS senior wins scholarship to three-week program in Samoa Mimi Najmabadi, a senior at Torrey Pines High School, has been awarded a full scholarship to attend a three-week cultural exchange program in Samoa this December.

The American Youth Leadership Program is designed to advance mutual understanding between the people of the U.S. and Samoa, and to prepare youth leaders to become responsible citizens. The program aims to spark an interest in learning about foreign cultures, and to develop a cadre of Americans with cultural understanding who are able to advance international dialogue and compete effectively in the global economy. The students will do community service and stay with host families in five different villages on ‘Upola Island, through which they will experience authentic Samoan culture. There will also be cultural training focusing on language, cultural differences and team building, and presentations focused on the program’s theme of nutrition and food security.
Construction begins on new Heights at Del Mar building San Diego Jewish Academy’s Isaac Sluzky, a junior, with his map correctly predicting the outcomes of the Senate races. He’s predicting a Democratic win for Louisiana in that state’s Dec. 6 runoff.
Construction has begun on a new 74,895 square-foot-office building at the Heights at Del Mar, formerly known as the Nuerocrine campus on El Camino Real. Kilroy Realty purchased the office complex in 2013 and hired Gensler Architecture to freshen up the designs for the third building on the campus that had been approved back in 2003. The new building will be a departure from the arts and crafts architectural style of the other buildings and will be developed to LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) Gold sustainability standards.

Bike Safety Rodeo shows kids how to roll
BY KRISTINA HOUCK BikeWalkSolana reminded children and parents that safety comes first when walking, riding or rolling to school and around Solana Beach during the community group’s fall Bicycle Safety Rodeo Nov. 16 at La Colonia Park. About 20 children in first through sixth grade participated in the event, which included a bike safety inspection and helmet fitting, and emphasized the rules of the road. “Kids don’t get a chance to learn about bike safety in school, so it’s important for them to get a chance to learn the rules,� said Solana Beach resident Karl Rudnick, a certified instructor with the League of American Bicyclists and a committee member for BikeWalkSolana, a local community group that works for better and safer bicycling and walking facilities, and promotes cycling and walking in Solana Beach. A dozen volunteers worked at the event, where participants learned about bike safety by going through a series of interactive stations on their bikes. John Gadbois of Revolution
Bikes inspected and fixed bikes. Participants also received free flashing taillights, which were provided at a discount by the local bike shop. “It’s actually safer riding in real bike lanes now,� noted Rudnick, who pointed at the city’s improvements to Highway 101, as well as the traffic-calming updates on Santa Helena. “Solana Beach is continually improving the bicycle infrastructure throughout the city to make it more safe.� BikeWalkSolana hosted the event in partnership with the city of Solana Beach, Del Sol Lions Club and Revolution Bikes. The group plans to host another Bike Safety Rodeo in the spring. “It’s important for kids to go to these rodeos because it’s one of the few opportunities to learn the rules of the road,� Rudnick said. “We’re going to continue holding these until everybody knows it.� For information about BikeWalkSolana, visit bikewalksolana.org.

Letters to the editor/Opinion
Ride-alongs, raids and realignment BY DAVE ROBERTS The unmarked cars approached the apartment house quickly and quietly. Officers then fanned out to secure the dimly lighted property. I sat in one of the dark-blue sedans as officers banged on the door of an apartment, one of many we would visit during a multiagency sweep of county probationers. Thoughts of my latenight ride-along came back to me last month as the Board of Supervisors received a report on the state’s Public Safety Realignment and what it has meant for the county. We heard about the important role the county’s Probation Department plays
Dave Roberts in supervising convicts who might otherwise be in jail or state prison. We also were told about the strong collaboration among law enforcement agencies. That’s exactly what I saw at that apartment complex — probation officers working side by side with Escondido Police officers in a dangerous situation.
After they deemed the apartment and surroundings were safe, the officers called me in to look. I soon came face to face with some of the scariestlooking people I have ever seen. There were clear signs of gang affiliations. I also saw many children, despite the late hour. That was upsetting to me. Officers told me they report any trouble they observe to Child Protective Services. The probationer at this apartment checked out. But that wasn’t the case at every address we visited. At one home, around 2 a.m., officers found their target hiding in a crawl space in the garage. They arrested him
on suspicion of violating the terms of his probation. During this long and eye-opening night, we checked on about a dozen of the thousands of felons the county manages under its realignment plan. In 2011, the state assigned counties to take responsibility for certain felons who would otherwise be housed in state prison or be supervised by state parole officers. In response, the county has expanded its jail capacity and has beefed up its rehabilitative programs. The Probation Department has quietly shouldered a tremendous spike in its caseload. Probation officers supervise nearly 2,200 felons once they are released from custody. Probation officials credit their emphasis on social
and health services in addressing the core issues that drive offenders to break the law. Last fiscal year, the county provided residential and outpatient drug and alcohol and mental health treatment to nearly 2,300 offenders. Sheriff Bill Gore told the board that officers hold offenders accountable with unannounced visits — like the ones I observed. As I saw, those visits can lead to arrests. The sheriff shared encouraging — yet sobering — statistics. As of midyear 2014, he said, violent crimes declined to 3.43 crimes per 1,000 people, compared with a rate of 3.45 last year and 3.7 in 2012. Property crimes during the same period were pegged at 19.4 crimes per 1,000 people, down from 22.23 per 1,000 last year. Those are good num-
bers. Reflecting on my ridealong, I saw officers deal with felons one at a time. What a tough job. Some offenders own scanning devices that track police movement so they can get advance warning before the cops arrive. Sometimes they’re able to run away before that knock on the door. One offender claimed he didn’t speak English. Another told the cops he was not their man, but they could tell he was by looking at his tattoos. At one location, a woman told police the man on the couch was not the felon they were looking for. He was his twin brother, she said. Officers were not fooled. And neither was I. Dave Roberts represents the Third District on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

A message from DM Mayor Lee Haydu: Bicyclists need to stay Much has been accomplished over years within their lane
As I wind down my term as mayor of Del Mar, I’ve spent some time reflecting on all of the things the city has collectively accomplished this past year and during my tenure as a member of the City Council. I was first elected to the City Council in 2010 and have served as mayor since December 2013. Together we have completed a number of significant priorities, including major infrastructure projects; enhanced relationships with regional stakeholders; and begun work on some exciting projects that will benefit residents, businesses, and visitors. In particular, to facilitate community engagement, as a former member of the Design Review Board, I helped implement the Citizens’ Participation Program. The CPP helps make neighbors aware of a development proposal early in its design phase and also gives them an opportunity to meet with the project applicant and discuss concerns before the Design Review Board holds its formal public hearing on the application. This has been very successful to ensure neighborhood feedback of development projects. I also established monthly “Meetings with the Mayor,” to provide community members with an opportunity to meet with me one-onone to discuss issues that were important to them. This was a great way to get to know community members’ concerns, in addition to hearing from you while being in the community. And, through continued participa-
Lee Haydu Del Mar Mayor tion of the Community Relations Commission, we have enhanced our relationship with the 22nd District Agricultural Association and Solana Beach regarding the impacts of the Fairgrounds. With the City Council and community’s support, we completed a number of priorities that help preserve and enhance the community’s character. Most notably, we began the sidewalk, street, and drainage improvement project in the Beach Colony area. The project filled in missing curbs and gutters, installed bulb-outs, pedestrian ramps, and sidewalks, and road improvements along Camino del Mar. Additionally, in preparation of the San Dieguito River Path Extension Project, we secured a long-term lease from the North County Transit District to provide additional trail-head parking for the River Path at the southeast corner of Jimmy Durante Boulevard and San Dieguito Drive. Finally, let’s not forget about finishing the seismic retrofit and rehabilitation of the historic North Torrey Pines Bridge. In an effort to manage the city’s resources in a fiscally sound and prudent man-
ner, the City Council authorized a $3 million paydown of the city’s Pension Liability. The council also agreed to establish a pension reserve fund, setting aside enough money to eliminate the city’s unfunded pension liability over 15 years. Furthermore, we entered into an agreement with the cities of Solana Beach and Encinitas to redirect a portion of our wastewater flows to the San Elijo Water Reclamation Facility (SEWRF) in Cardiff, saving significant money in wastewater treatment costs and helping to create more recycled water. We also were successful in working with the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy to receive a grant for the River Path Del Mar project. And, finally we worked with the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG) to use their “Commercial Paper Program,” to borrow against future TransNet funds at a very low cost to implement sidewalk, street, and drainage improvement projects now. Finally, I’m excited about the community’s progress in planning the City Hall/Civic Center project and the Shores Park Master Plan. We are fortunate to have an engaged community and I look forward to seeing these two significant projects come to fruition! I am honored to have served the residents of Del Mar to implement your vision for our City and thank you for your support!

Riverview vs. Watermark developments: Keep this area tranquil for people and wildlife, please We thank the Del Mar Planning Commission for recently extending the Riverview project development plans, for the vacant southeast corner located at Jimmy Durante and San Dieguito Drive intersection, presently known as Watermark. Del Mar community residents, Batter Kay (Riverview developers) and the city of Del Mar had invested huge sums of money, endless hours of research and meetings, ultimately and finally creating a development plan for this corner. Those plans were environmentally and aesthetically accepted and approved by Del Mar and its community, as the most appropriate development that will protect the qualities of Del Mar life. Our entrance to Del Mar is an area of quiet, tranquility and beauty, three quarters of the year, juxtaposed by our high-energy summer fun, set against the Lagoons Nature Trail (a nature trail that is just beginning to
now flourish and become home to vast varieties of shore birds), and the Free Flight bird sanctuary. Please leave these beautiful birds and other wild life and local residents, to continue to enjoy this beauty and tranquility which has been here forever. A Del Mar reality and statement as to the quality of life which Del Mar has always represented. Due to extension of the River View plans, there is now a small sliver of hope that the already approved Riverview office building development (which would shut down in the evening) vs. a high-density residential apartment complex that never closes (24/7), would be a fail- safe, protecting and securing the tranquil nights for residents and wildlife to nest and rest. There may now still be a chance to only allow and have built such a Riverview project vs. the highdensity residential apartment complex that never closes down (24/7) which would be terribly See DEVELOPMENTS, page 22
I feel a need to respond to Wiliam Fijolek’s letter of Nov. 13, regarding cyclists and cars sharing the road. He states that the top two reasons cyclists ride outside the bicycle lane are poor lane conditions and avoiding an opening car door. I disagree. The most common reason, in my experience, is that the bicyclists want to ride three or four abreast so they can chat. They do this without regard for the traffic they’re blocking or the road hazard they’re creating. The new law to keep three feet of distance between one’s car and a bicyclist is good, but only if bicyclists also follow the law and stay within the bicycle lane. Mr. Fijolek also stated that he is intrigued about how anyone would know what a bicyclist’s attitude is. A bicyclist’s attitude is made clear by his or her actions. The attitude is that the bicyclists feel they are above the law and more important than automotive traffic. It’s an arrogant attitude. Bicyclists need to take responsibility for their own safety, not just by imposing new laws on drivers. They need to stay within the bicycle lane. Save the chatting for later, or get two-way radios.

Time to turn up the volume on One Paseo effort What’s up with One Paseo? Where are we, in fact? We are getting ready for a last-ditch effort before the San Diego City Council, probably in late January. Why last-ditch? The City Council is the decision-maker in the case of such a massive development. They are advised by the City’s Development Services Department, the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board, and the Planning Commission. None of these bodies have made any effort to convey to the council the enormous regional impact of One Paseo. What did they do? The city’s Development Services Department allowed Kilroy to escape a thorough analysis of all alternatives, to escape meaningful negotiation with the community of Carmel Valley, and to entirely escape analysis of the regional impact. The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board, while rejecting Kilroy’s proposal in favor of an alternative with 50 percent of the traffic impact, proceeded to undo some of the good by allowing the full retail square footage proposed, adding back much of the crippling traffic effect. (Retail square footage accounts for about half of all traffic impact.) The Planning Commission made a decision not to decide, and instead submitted a list of 11 issues for the City Council to consider. These points did not include any indication of the unmitigated traffic impact, or any suggestion that the project could or should be smaller. So it’s up to us! The date of the City Council hearing is not yet final, but expected to be in January. Please attend if you possibly can. It is expected that speakers will be allowed only 30 seconds to present their issues, but others present can donate their allowance to another speaker, enabling a more comprehensive presentation. Meanwhile we all, as individuals, need to be writing to the City Council President, Todd Gloria, toddgloria@sandiego.gov, to express our concern and disappointment in a system that so ignores the good of the region. This plea applies to all who live within 10 miles of the proposed One Paseo. We, What Price Main Street and members of the Torrey Pines Community, are rallying support from neighboring communities. We are urging them, as individuals and as official Boards and Councils, to write those letters too, to attend the hearing, and speak up loud and clear about the so-far totally unrecognized effect this project will have on the region. Thank you all who have helped us to this point, achieving a loud voice already. It’s time to turn up the volume! Diana Scheffler Torrey Pines Community

Education Matters/Opinion
Boardroom drama in San Dieguito as Groth says goodbye BY MARSHA SUTTON In my 18 years covering local school districts, nevMarsha Sutton er do I remember a school board member filling out a speaker slip and leaving the dais to stand at the public lectern to address the board as a private citizen. Yet outgoing San Dieguito Union High School District trustee Barbara Groth, who was defeated this month in her run for a fifth term, did just that. But sadly, instead of leaving board members and the public infused with warm memories of her long list of impressive contributions to the school district she loves, Groth capped an otherwise illustrious career that spanned 16 years as a San Dieguito trustee with a vindictive attack against a fellow board member and fear-laced warnings for the future. She also expressed regret that fellow board member Amy Herman (just re-elected to her second term) had to endure her first four years with a trustee not always in sync with the board majority. That reference was to John Salazar, who walked out of the meeting in disgust halfway through Groth’s remarks. Groth’s performance was baffling – hardly the gracious exit one would expect from someone so esteemed and well-regarded in the community who has accomplished so much for the district over the years. Her speech came at the end of the Nov. 13 board meeting, during the time on the agenda for public comment. She began by stating her name and address, standard procedure for all public speakers. She then referenced having had “a rocky start” with fellow board member Joyce Dalessandro, who is in the middle of her fifth term on the board – to which Dalessandro replied with a laugh, “We sure did.” She described special memorable experiences she’s had on the board, many with Dalessandro by her side, and how fortunate she’s been to serve as “part of a team that’s led our district to unprecedented levels of achievement during a time of horrific underfunding of schools.”
All good so far. But then what began as a fond farewell descended into an unwarranted condemnation of Salazar and newly elected board member Maureen Muir. “I’ve been lucky to make good friends throughout the district, county and state,” Groth said. “And I’ve been lucky to serve 12 of my 16 years on boards that set egos and politics aside, to work together for what’s best for our students, with board members who did not promote themselves or their political parties. “And it is a thing of wonderment, and I wish Amy could have had that experience. “But the last four years have been different. One of our board members has put party politics before our students’ interests. It’s been annoying but not a big deal, thanks to four other board members who make decisions that are student-based.” In the background on the audio can be heard rustling noises, the sound of Salazar packing up to walk out of the meeting. Groth continued: “His [Salazar’s] efforts to defeat Prop. AA, which will bring our schools up to date and ready for the future, were ineffective. “Next month there will be two politically motivated board members.” Addressing fellow trustees Dalessandro, Herman and Beth Hergesheimer, Groth said, “I know you’ll continue the good fight and separate the sense from the nonsense. Our district is stronger being non-partisan, data-driven and student-centered. Party politics has no place in the district.” Groth then mentioned personal travel plans and said, “I am the first to admit that my patience and sense of humor do need a rest.” “But all will be well,” she continued. “We have intelligent people with integrity and dedication to providing our students with the best public education possible. Our staff, our parents, our community, our three board members – and they will greatly outnumber the selfpromoters who really don’t care. “As long as the district can keep attracting and hiring the best of the best, our kids will continue to thrive and enjoy an outstanding public education.”
Groth closed by thanking everyone – “not only those who are here but those who are not. It’s been a great run.” An uphill battle By speaking during public comment and by thanking those not present, Groth intended for her remarks to be made public. But reading the words is different from hearing them. Encinitas resident Danica Edelbrock, who was in the audience when Groth spoke, said, “I was prepared for tears as Barbara Groth stood to speak at her last board meeting after 16 years. I was not expecting her to point fingers and alienate John Salazar. “I felt very uncomfortable and sorry for him as he quickly gathered his things and rushed out of the meeting during her speech. I was shocked, and by the silence in the room it appeared everyone else was too.” Board members who promote themselves and put party politics before student interests? Not making decisions that are student-based? Being partisan, not data-driven and not student-centered? All that because Salazar asks uncomfortable questions about how the district spends its money? Does that make him against student interests? Muir may now face an uphill battle to be regarded without suspicion in the district after Groth’s alarm about the next four years with not one but two “politically motivated” board members. Doesn’t Muir deserve at least some time before she is prejudged? Are Salazar and Muir really grand-standers, “self-promoters who really don’t care?” Pretty harsh accusations with little evidence to back up the charges. Speaking of party politics, Groth sought and received an endorsement from the teachers union, which aggressively promoted her in the recent election – while Salazar, whom she accused of self-promotion, spent hardly a dime on his re-election campaign. Since Salazar was the main target of Groth’s criticism, his reaction was interesting. “I realize losing her fifth term really disappointed Barbara, but moving from policy disagreements to personal attacks and diatribes was cross-
ing the line and unnecessarily mean-spirited,” he wrote in an email. “Elected leaders must always remember we serve the people who put us here every four years and are not entitled to remain in office just because you have been around for a couple of decades. Clearly, it was time for a change.” Having left for a vacation shortly after the board meeting, Groth either chose not to respond or was unable to respond to my email asking for clarification on aspects of her speech. Hergesheimer was out of the country and unavailable for comment. Dalessandro replied in an email, saying, “Barbara was speaking as a private citizen during public comments. It would be inappropriate for me to comment on her comments.” Amy Herman did call me back and said Groth’s comments “were her own perspective, not mine.” “Barbara was speaking only for herself at the meet-
ing,” Herman said. “I actually didn’t know she was going to do that. She certainly didn’t consult with me. And she did not express my feelings.” Herman said she didn’t know Groth was planning to single her out and said she was surprised by her comments. “I’m happy to have been re-elected,” she said. “I’m looking forward to continuing to work in the district and with the board, and plan on working cooperatively and continuing to work for the kids.” A fresh start Herman’s refreshingly positive comment that she plans to work cooperatively with all board members, is a hopeful sign. Despite Groth’s denunciations, Salazar said he too is optimistic that the new board can work together amiably, with differences in opinion discussed respectfully. Imagine the reception if Groth had congratulated the winners, been gracious in defeat, and encouraged the board to leave the tension of the last four years behind and make a fresh start. Instead of stunned silence at the conclusion of her remarks, she might have received applause and a standing ovation in a legitimate and well-deserved show of gratitude for all her work over the years. Through the force of her personality (which is considerable), Groth could have laid a foundation for reconciliation and collaboration, helped to set the tone for increased harmony in the district, and promoted a non-adversarial culture of tolerance and respect. Rather, she chose a very different path, deciding to go out on a low note, with a swan song that sounded bitter and petty. What a shame for someone with such a remarkable career in public education to end it that way. Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.

Other DMBC members participating with the Team USA Australian surf tour who have previously competed in the World Bodysurfing Championships (www.worldbodysurfing. org) include Dr. Bruce Robbins, Jeffrey Robbins, Dr. Ken Robbins, Dr. Lisa Apramian, Jody Hubbard, Christy Hahn, Adam Crane, Meredith Rose, and Vince Askey. The tour group is welcoming all surfers and non-surfers to participate with the tour. Several residents from Del Mar and other cities will travel with the group as supporters who will visit several beach communities on Australia’s east coast, including the Sunshine Coast, the Gold Coast, and Sydney. The tour group will depart Los Angeles on March 2, 2015 and return March 16. After competing in Noosa Heads, Queensland (www.noosafestivalofsurfing.com), Team USA will stay in Broadbeach to surf the Gold Coast and share some social time with local surf clubs and Surf Life Saving Clubs. The tour will culminate in Sydney while staying in Manly Beach. The surfers of Avalon Beach and Manly Beach will host the Americans for surf sessions and beach BBQs. A day trip to the Sydney southern beaches will include Bondi Beach, Bronte, and Coogee. The DMBC, formed in 2012, congregates at 9 a.m. every weekend on the beach in front of the Del Mar Motel to enter the waves for about one hour.

Heather Zhang and Leslie Zhang, formerly of Carmel Valley, who attended The Bishop’s School and Canyon Crest Academy respectively, were two of the four high school girls who competed at the Inaugural Varsity Collegiate Women’s Triathlon National Championships held in Clermont, Fla., in November 2014. They are members of Formula Endurance Triathlon and Swimming Club in San Diego and are being coached by USA Triathlon Level II coach Jim Vance. They raced in a draft-legal format with a 750-meter swim, 20-kilometer bike, and a 5-kilometer run, which will be the race distance for future NCAA women’s triathlons once it becomes an official NCAA varsity sport. Coach Vance was particularly thrilled by the fact that of the four high school girls who competed at the first Collegiate Women’s National Triathlon Championships, three were from the Formula Endurance TriClub program. A former alumna of the program also took part as a collegian and placed fourth. In his words, apparently the Tri Club Formula Endurance is doing the right things with the right direction for the program. Leslie Zhang, who is the youngest in the field at age At a pre-race practice with 15, finished the race placing 12th and she was fifth enter- collegiate girls (L-R): Heather ing the second transition (from bike to run) before being Zhang, Tri-Club teammate passed by stronger and more developed college girls on Jessica Tomasek, and Leslie the run. Zhang. Heather Zhang hung on and finished 19th, placing well ahead of many of the college girls on the starting list. In her words: “This race was located in a beautiful venue within a State Park. It was especially unique since the lake water had a reddish tint from the bleeding of the cypress tree roots into the water. Both Leslie and I were well prepared for this and once the horn sounded off, we stepped up to the challenge. The crowds were cheering so loudly, as this was the first-ever draft legal Collegiate National Championship. We felt that we were a part of history in the making, and we were told that the group photo shot will be exhibited at USA Triathlon Headquarters in Colorado Springs and may even be featured in a NCAA museum in the years to come. That made this race so special to us.” Both Heather and Leslie mastered the skills of draft legal cycling and open water swimming right in San Diego, the birthplace of the triathlon, under Vance’s tutelage. They both qualified and competed at the USAT Youth/Junior Elite Triathlon National Championships for the past three years and earned their national rankings accordingly. Leslie also qualified for the International Triathlon Union Age Group Sprint Distance World Championships in 2015 this past August in Milwaukee, and she will represent Team USA in Chicago next September. In her words: “It is an honor to represent USA on our home soil next year, and I am thrilled to have the opportunity to compete with the world’s best triathletes in my new age group in the future (16-19).” Besides their busy training regimen for the triathlon, Heather and Leslie are on the varsity cross country team in the fall and varsity swim team in the winter. Both girls plan to compete at the NCAA Division I level and beyond. “Triathlon is such a fun sport and lifestyle that not only takes your fitness to new level, but also makes you better in goal-setting as well as self-discipline, which we will benefit from for the rest of our lives. Although it is extremely time-consuming, requires many years of patience and dedication, and was suggested as one of the hardest sports to develop to become Olympic triathletes, we have been loving every single step of this journey. We have made so many new friends who are all around the country from the competitive and social environment that triathlon provides. We push each other to achieve all of our goals, which form a special bond that will never be broken.”

The Falcons’ roster features just two seniors this year: co-captains Clare Young and Alayna “Tom” Tomlinson, both of whom are looking to play field hockey at the college level. Young, a midfielder, has committed to Amherst College in Massachusetts, a perennial NCAA Division 3 field hockey power. Tomlinson, a high-scoring forward, hopes to play at the College of William & Mary in Virginia. Tomlinson and Young were two of the key players in a squad that blazed through the Palomar League undefeated, including double victories over archrival Canyon Crest. Coached by Torrey Pines alumna and former national team player Jessica Javelet, the Falcons finished the regular season with a 12-game win streak and entered this week’s CIF Division One playoffs as the No. 2 seed in San Diego County.

Local high school rowers race to three second-place finishes San Diego Rowing Club (SDRC) varsity men raced to three early season second-place finishes in a competitive field at the Head of the American Regatta east of Sacramento. SDRC varsity men’s boats for the Quad (four rowers, eight oars) Lightweight Double (two rowers, four oars) and Junior Double (two rowers, four oars) placed ahead of several top-rated regional and national crews. In posting a time of 18:17 on a rainy and wind-swept 5,000-meter course, the SDRC varsity Quad placed second only to U.S. National Champion Seattle Rowing Center in a field of 16 boats. SDRC topped reigning Youth Nationals silver medalists San Diego Rowing Club Varsity Men’s Rowers (L-R): Jack Stanford Rowing Center. Piegza, James Jacoby, Zander Cowan, Cooper Ball SDRC’s Jack Piegza (Bishop’s School), James Jacoby (Point Loma High School), Cooper Ball (La Costa Canyon High School) and Zander Cowan (San Diego Jewish Academy) battled wind gusts of 30 mph in the morning’s hotly contested race. Benton Sparks, SDRC men’s varsity coach, said early season results of the four rowers who traveled to compete in the regatta on the American River are a good indication of the progress being made by all athletes of the 36-member varsity men’s team. “The entire squad has really been hitting it hard in practice this fall,� Sparks said. “These four boys got to prove why. It’s a great result for the whole team and shows that we’re moving in the right direction.� In the Junior Double, Jacoby and Cooper posted a 19:39 to earn a second place. National Champions Seattle Rowing Center took first. In the Lightweight Double, Piegza and Cowan raced to a 19:51, taking second only to a pair of 25-year-olds training for the U.S. National Team. SDRC wishes to thank longtime SDRC supporters Mary and Tom Sechser, who hosted the four SDRC athletes and coaching staff on the trip.

Local dental office collects candy, makes $500 donation to Capri Elementary School Great Smiles Pediatric Dentistry & Orthodontics, a dual specialty dental practice serving North County coastal communities for more than 30 years with offices in Solana Beach and Encinitas, successfully hosted its first Halloween candy buyback, collecting more than 450 pounds of sugary snacks. To help children avoid cavities from overindulging in the sweets, Great Smiles offered $1 for every pound of candy that children 17 years of age or younger were willing to donate at their offices on Nov. 6 and 7. To further encourage ditching the candy, Great Smiles made the entire event a competition by offering a $500 donation to the school whose students donated the most candy.

Diabetes diagnosis Violin virtuoso Itzhak Perlman reflects ‘speed bump, not road on music, polio at Salk Institute visit block’ for Indy car driver BY ROB LEDONNE When Charlie Kimball was first diagnosed with diabetes, he had little understanding of what it even was. “I had no knowledge,” he said from his home in Indianapolis. “I had no family history of it and was very lean and healthy, yet when I was diagnosed I had lost 25 pounds in five days.” Making the diagnosis even more troubling for the 29-year-old was the fact that Kimball is a professional athlete — an Indy car driver who competes in the Verizon IndyCar Series with Chip Ganassi Racing, to be precise. Kimball thought he was finished racing, but instead he turned into an advocate who rose above his diagnosis and is trying to spread his story. Kimball did just that as a guest speaker at the Taking Care of Your Diabetes Conference, which took place Nov. 8 at the San Diego Convention Center (part of the organization is based in Del Mar). “I’m biased, but the diabetes community is among the strongest in the world,” he said after the conference. “A lot of people say that my story inspires them — but hearing other people’s stories keeps me going as well.” Fully embracing his role as an advocate to raise awareness, Kimball has talked with more than 10,000 people about his path from initial confusion about the disease, to a deep understanding of diabetes and how to live with it. “The day I stop learning about diabetes is the day I hang up my helmet,” he said. “I think that I’m a better driver and athlete because of my diabetes and not despite it. I’m better prepared, mentally and physically. I simply understand and listen to my body a lot more, just like mechanics

who spend hours to make sure the race car is right.” Understanding and learning how to listen to one’s body is the one skill that those recently diagnosed with their disease must learn, and Kimball said that after a while, it becomes a normal occurrence: “All of the things you have to do for diabetes — like testing your blood sugar — becomes part of your routine, just like checking the news or brushing your teeth.” As a professional athlete, Kimball is constantly traveling, which can sometimes make it difficult to manage symptoms. As a result, he always plans ahead. “Every time I leave the house, I carry a roll of glucose tablets in my pocket and granola bars in my bag,” he said, alluding to sudden drops in blood sugar. “All you have to do is think further ahead.” Above all, Kimball wants to spread the message that diabetes is a “speed bump and not a road block. One of the coolest things to me about these conferences is that I’m with a bunch of other athletes, and we all give advice and answer See DRIVER, page B23
BY PAT SHERMAN Violin virtuoso and polio survivor Itzhak Perlman never got to meet Jonas Salk, or to benefit from the polio vaccine the renowned medical researcher and virologist developed six years after Perlman contracted the infectious disease, which left his legs paralyzed. Nevertheless, speaking at the La Jolla research institute Salk founded in 1960 on Nov. 13 — the centenary of Salk’s birth — Perlman said he read about Salk constantly in his youth. “He was ‘the guy,’” said Perlman, the recipient of 16 Grammy and four Emmy awards, including his hauntingly beautiful score for the film “Schindler’s List.” Perlman is also an ardent advocate for the eradication of polio and a spokesperson for persons with disabilities. The problem with eradicating polio, he said, is that people don’t view it the same way they do more imminent health threats, such as Ebola. “You still have two or three countries that still have some cases,” said Perlman, who was awarded the Salk Institute Medal for Public Service during last week’s visit. “The problem with polio is that it’s never over … until it’s over. And then it’s not over, either, unless you continue with vaccination.” Perlman’s interest in the violin was cemented at age 3, the year before he contracted polio. Living in Tel Aviv with his parents, he practiced three hours a day while his parents sought hope in the slightest movement of a toe or special diets they were told might hold the cure for his affliction. Perlman taught himself to play on a toy fiddle until he was old enough to study with Rivka Goldgart at the Shulamit Conservatory and at the Academy of Music in Tel Aviv. He gave his first recital at age 10, moving on to study at the Juilliard School

Itzhak Perlman (right) at the Salk Institute. Photo by Pat Sherman in New York City. Perlman learned to walk on crutches and today performs and travels with the assistance of an electric scooter. Despite his early promise, Perlman was told early that he would never have a successful career as a touring artist because of his physical limitations. “People assumed that I was not going to be able to do this because of the travel involved, and I absolutely did not understand that at all,” he said. “I didn’t take it seriously, but I did have to prove that I was able to physically go anyplace and physically do the traveling. If you look at some of my early reviews, they always had to mention the fact I was walking on crutches or in a chair, and it was a part of the review — and then it stopped, because people got used to it.” Asked what inspires his playing today, Perlman said it remains the music. “When you think about somebody who sometimes has to play the same pieces over and over again, you’ve got to be inspired by the music,” he said. “If you’re not, every day you’re going to just play the same thing all over again, the same way
you’ve done it a year ago or a week ago. “If I play Beethoven’s Violin Concerto, I can play it 25 times in a row and still find other things in it that inspire me. … When people ask me, ‘What’s your goal?’ I always say ‘My goal is not to be bored, ever, by what I do — and so far, I’m not.” Asked how he gauges the success of a performance, Perlman mimed a clap in which the palms of his hands failed to connect. “If they don’t clap like this,” he joked. “Unless I really bomb, they will show their enthusiasm,” he said, noting that audiences around the world express their appreciation in vastly different ways. “If you go to Scandinavia, it will sound very polite; but if you go to Italy, it will sound like they’re going out of their minds,” he said. Regarding the confluence of art and science, Perlman said he has long pondered the idea of whether talent is innate, or whether it can be developed. “What makes somebody tone-deaf and somebody (else) a great painter?” he mused. “All of it, you can explain medically —
In Escrow
but maybe not. Maybe you can say, ‘It’s from God,’ but still, there’s got to be an explanation. I mean, what makes somebody be natural at math, and somebody else, like me, be totally like, ‘Duh, what’s going on here?’ “I’ve known conductors who have a photographic memory. They would look at a music score and immediately know it by heart. That’s something you’re born with. That’s not something you study and study and finally you develop this photographic memory. You don’t.” Perlman, who with his wife, Toby (also a classically trained violinist), runs a summer camp for gifted string musicians, ages 11-18, said he finds it interesting that so many musicians do their best work when they are young. Interjecting, William Brody, president of the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, noted that in math or theoretical physics, “if you haven’t done your best work by 25 it’s probably not going to happen, but we have biologists who are still very creative into their 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s — and there are a couple who’ve won multiple Nobel Prizes in science at See PERLMAN, page B23

Locally trained dancer now with Miami ballet BY JULIE KENYON Sophie Williams began to dream of sugarplums when she first saw a professional performance of the “Nutcracker” ballet at the tender age of 2. Her mother started to look for classes that would take her enthralled 3-year-old daughter. Now 18, Sophie is dancing with the Miami City Ballet. Her training began at the Ballet Arte Academy of Classical Ballet in Solana Beach, where she was a student for 10 years under the guidance of artistic directors Erlends Zieminch and Sara Viale before joining Miami City Ballet. “I have so many wonderful memories of Ballet Arte, all because of my teachers, Sara and Erlends, who are the most dedicated people I’ve ever known,” said Sophie. “They always put 150 percent into their teaching every day. After training here for 10 years, I can honestly say that you will never find a more supportive place to dance.” In May, Sophie travelled to Miami to audition as a trainee with the Miami City Ballet. The artistic staff watched the audition class and put up a cast list the same day for their production of “Western Symphony.”

Asked what it was like to be a part of a professional ballet company for the first time, Sophie said, “It is such an amazing and rewarding experience to be able to perform with so many advanced professional dancers every day.” Her training continues with daily class, followed by rehearsals throughout the afternoon, and later she may opt to take an additional class with one of the younger levels in the Miami City Ballet School. Her dream, like almost every young dancer’s, is to one day be able to dance principal roles with a major ballet company. Sophie will be home for the holidays and has been invited back to Ballet Arte to dance in their annual production of “The Nutcracker.” Over the past 10 years, she has performed every role in this ballet and now will be dancing for the first time as a guest artist. The little girl who once dreamed of sugarplums is well on her way to fulfilling her own dreams.

CV artist paints her way to healing after cancer BY GLORIA LIMAS Carmel Valley artist Boutia Moshiri found an innovative way to deal with an unwelcome medical diagnosis. When her doctors told her she had breast cancer, she became creative in finding ways to cope and prevail. Moshiri began painting about her cancer recovery, which lasted well over two years. This resulted in five pieces of art she titled, “The Mermaid Collection.” Art is her best therapy: “Every piece of work is a reflection of my feelings and all of this helped me to become stronger. My art gave me daily encouragement to fight on.” She says she is now cancer free and continues her art daily. Her works have been displayed throughout Southern California, including the Los Angeles Museum of Art, and most recently at Art San Diego 2014 in Balboa Park. Proceeds benefit the Breast Cancer Foundation. Visit www.boutiamoshiri.com.

The talented professional cast includes Beverly Baker, who plays Annie, the fall-down floppy doll; Sean Boyd as Bernie (not a typo), the “plushy and purple”
Beverly Baker and Nicolas Scutti in ‘The Christmas Toyshop’ at North Coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach. (again, not a typo) dinosaur; Benjamin Cole as the Nutcracker, who insists on calling himself Sergeant Spike, Commando Action Figure and a Master of Disguise action figure, and Tatiana Mac as Lavonne, the fabulous fashion doll.

Everyone has people on our list who are tough to buy gifts for: They have everything they need or want; they live out of town and you have no idea what they might like; they’re downsizing; or they’re just plain picky. Instead of struggling to select a gift destined to be unappreciated, Solana Beach Presbyterian Church offers the 29th annual Alternative Christmas Market on Nov. 23, where you can meet with representatives from 32 different ministry partners who will share how you can donate a gift that will change lives. The ministries span San Diego County and the globe. For example: • A gift of $1 can purchase 40 doses of medicine carried in a medic’s backpack to treat refugees in Burma. • A $2 gift can provide a hot meal to a homeless, unemployed, poor or elderly person in downtown San Diego. • A $10 bill can buy a book for a new school library for the Afar people of the eastern Ethiopian desert, or plant an orchard of 10 trees to benefit rural subsistence-level farmers. • A $20 gift can purchase a large, warm blanket for a flood-victim family in northern India, or pay for 12 meals provided to the homeless at the San Diego Rescue Mission, or pay for dental cleaning, fluoride, exam, x-rays, and sealants or a filling in Solana Beach for children without health insurance. • A $50 donation could pay the tuition for a veteran or active-service member to complete a sustainable agriculture training program through Cal Poly Pomona at Archi’s Acres in Escondido.
• A $110 gift could provide the supplies to drill a community fresh-water well to save a village in southern Sudan from drinking water from polluted rivers and streams. The event also features the 10,000 Villages Craft Market with handmade items supporting low-income artisans from around the world, and Christmas Wish Trees decorated with stars listing gift wishes of local foster children. “This event helps us reclaim the original inspiration behind Christmas: love for the world,” said Tom Theriault, outreach pastor. “We step off the well-worn holiday treadmill of giving more to those who already have a lot, and return to the path of love that gives to those suffering a lot.” Another reason for the market’s popularity is that the full amount of the donation goes directly to the mission partner. “Many people who are not part of our church find the ACM to be a very meaningful way to give gifts that count,” Theriault added, explaining that the 32 mission partners are well-known with track records of effective work, Over the course of nearly three decades, Theriault said, the ACM has raised $2.5 million, and raised an average of $100,000 over the past five years. “This translates to hope and opportunity for tens of thousands of people here in San Diego and all over the world.” The event runs from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 120 Stevens Ave., Solana Beach. Learn more about the mission partners or donate directly from the website at www.alternativechristmasmarket.org.

CCA Mural Dedication Canyon Crest Academy recently installed a mural of soaring mosaic ravens rising out of a sun above the Proscenium theatre. CCA’s latest contribution to the campus’ effort to beautify its campus with artwork created by students is the school’s largest installation yet. On Nov. 17, the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation celebrated its most generous donors when the mural was formally dedicated. The ceremony celebrated the 47 donors who donated at least $1,500 to the Ravens Challenge. A total of $201,000 was raised for the CCA Raven’s Fund through the campaign this past year. The concept for the mural was conceived and designed by Envision Visual Arts (EVA) Conservatory students in the Spring of 2014. For more information, visit www.canyoncrestfoundation.org.

Ebola fears affecting African tourism, says guide •BBC host says popular destinations are far from outbreak area
Stu and Linda Pinkerton Don Johnson, Liz Crookston, Josh Perrett

Aardvark Safari founders Emma and John Spence with Jack and Lily
BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although the main safari destinations in eastern and southern Africa are thousands of miles from the Ebola virus-stricken countries of the west, safari guide Jackson Looseyia said fears of the disease are keeping tourists away. “I’ve never seen tourism so affected as it is now by the fear of Ebola,” said Looseyia, who takes groups of two to 12 on weeklong safaris most months of the year. A recent survey conducted by African booking company Safaribookings.com found that as of late September, more than half of safari operators reported a 20 percent to 70 percent decline in bookings. The survey was based on feedback from more than 500 safari operators. Nevertheless, popular destinations, such as Kenya’s Maasai Mara National Reserve, are thousands of miles from the West Africa Ebola outbreak area. “Don’t be worried about traveling, but travel responsibly,” said Looseyia before his Nov. 13 talk at the Powerhouse Community Center in Del Mar. “Be aware of it, but it should not stop you from traveling, and from Kenya, in particular.” Solana Beach-based Aardvark Safaris, which arranges custom safari trips, has worked closely with Looseyia for 15 years. During the event in Del Mar, Looseyia talked about his nearly 30 years of experi-

He encouraged attendees to travel to Africa, where he also works as a conservationist and an educator, and is best known as the host of the BBC’s “Big Cat Live” television series. “Kenya is an extraordinary destination for people who would like to see the abundance of wildlife and some of the best sceneries in Africa, from high mountains to the deserts and everything in between,” Looseyia said. “Kenya has a lot to offer, and Aardvark Safaris has always been our No. 1 supporter.” Visit www.aardvarksafaris.com.

History always looming for weavers • Fiber artists spin a line to tradition at Vista Museum BY DIANE Y. WELCH Last month the Antique Gas and Steam Engine Museum in Vista opened its grounds and buildings to the public for its annual Fiber Arts Fiesta. Present were 100 weavers, spinners, basket makers, felters, gourd artists, quilters, and knitters. Featured at the fiesta were a spinning corral and booths with hand-made finished products and craft supplies for sale. It was a spirited occasion Tyler Orion at her loom. “You can’t use a cellphone with a historical link to a by- while you are weaving,” she notes; instead, “You gone era. Visitors saw dem- become one with the process.” PHOTO BY MARTY FOLTYN onstrations, learned the history of these ancient practical arts and had a hand in trying it for themselves. Weaving and spinning reach back to the dawn of civilization when people first started to clothe themselves, said Marty Foltyn, a weaver and member of the Museum Weavers. “In that way we are honoring an ancient tradition,” she added. Foltyn, a Carmel Valley resident, was drawn to the weaving group in Vista because she has always had a love of fabrics. “My husband and I collect Navajo rugs,” she said, so she already had a deep appreciation for the process and the beauty of the final product. By happenstance, when she first visited the Antique Gas and Steam Engine Museum in Vista, it was just dedicating the 4,000-square-foot weaving barn. “I walked in and I was hooked,” Foltyn recalled. There were 50 floor looms, varieties that included an 1840s floor loom up to presentday, computer-operated looms, and women and men who were busy weaving on them. Foltyn signed up for classes on the spot. Her mentor was Bill Rafnel, 83, the museum’s founder. A former Navy chaplain, he left the service and became a professional weaver, creating beautiful damask tapestries, said Foltyn. It was his vision to build the barn that would house looms and spinning wheels donated by others. Consequently, the collection is eclectic but more interesting as a result. To raise construction funds, weavers created rugs from fabric remnants that people donated. Then the rugs were sold, which contributed half of the building costs. Tyler Orion also understands the lure of the loom. Formerly dedicated to a long career in business development, the Del Mar resident had yearned to weave but never had the time, she said. That changed with her retirement in 2006. Her daughter-in-law bought her a year membership to the Museum Weavers, where she also took classes with Rafnel. Now Orion weaves beautiful, fine fabric that she transforms into useful items like towel sets and table runners. “There’s something enormously satisfying about weaving,” said Orion. “When you are done with your weaving you have cloth — it’s a beautiful substance that has texture to it and yet it’s useful, and you’ve had all this fun making it. It’s a wonderful craft that I am lucky enough to have the time to play with.” As well as being a practical skill, the steady, repetitive motion of weaving can be therapeutic. “You can’t use a cellphone while you are weaving,” Foltyn joked. “You become one with the process; it’s very soothing. And at the end of the day, you have woven your 10 inches and have a great sense of accomplishment.” All members of the Museum Weavers are volunteers and are happy to demonstrate their craft. Classes are available for all levels. The Museum Weavers barn is open to the public every Thursday and during special events at 2040 N Santa Fe Ave. in Vista. Admission and parking are free.

Frog’s Fitness in Encinitas donates its studio facilities for the nonprofit’s free weekly classes, a Gentle Zumba class at 3 p.m. Wednesdays and a Gentle Fitness at 1 p.m. Fridays. NCCF does not have a permanent studio. When founder and president Snyder was diagnosed with breast cancer six years ago, she realized she could not go back to her fitness routine without risking injury. Snyder founded the program after she discovered there were no fitness programs specifically designed for those affected by cancer. Research and medical studies show that individuals with cancer feel better, get stronger, and lead healthier lives when they exercise during recovery. Exercise also reduces the risk of recurrence. “Our bodies have been sliced, diced, patched, poisoned and burned. We can’t go back to the same level of physical activity (as) before we were diagnosed,” Snyder said. Many survivors involved with NCCF undergo an assessment when they arrive with the nonprofit’s physical trainer, who has a cancer exercise trainer certification. They then decide the best course of action for their training schedule. That is part of the reason NCCF does not have its own studio, Pomeranz said. “Everyone’s needs are different and some people may want to go in a pool, some people may really like moving and want a Zumba class, some people really are attracted to the gentle fitness class, some people like to do yoga,” she said. Pomeranz said she was brought on during the company’s inception in 2010 and has since stayed with the company for the personalized work they do.
“One of the reasons I’m still involved is because two years ago I had my own cancer diagnosis, and so what happened for me after going through that diagnosis and treatment was what happens to a body after you go through major surgery and chemotherapy,” Pomeranz said. “I saw firsthand the effects of what can happen, and I actually
went through our program then as a participant.” The organization is run entirely by volunteers donating their time to improve the live of those affected by cancer. To donate to North County Cancer Fitness, visit http://www.northcountycancerfitness.org.

Nekter Juice Bar blends health, flavor at Del Mar Highlands Town Center BY KAREN BILLING Nékter Juice Bar, a new spot for açaí bowls, fresh juices and smoothies packed with fruits and vegetables, stirred to life in the Del Mar Highlands Town Center on Nov. 9. An Orange County import, many customers and fans of the Nékter juice cleanse are happy that the brand has found its way to Carmel Valley. Health-conscious couple Steve and Alexis Schulze founded Nékter in 2010 in Costa Mesa. What started as just one neighborhood juice bar has now expanded to 41 stores, mostly in California but with some locations in Arizona, Nevada, Texas and Colorado. Their popular juice cleanses ship nationwide. Last year, Nékter opened its first San Diego-area location in La Jolla. Over the past few months, the company has opened locations in San Marcos, Carlsbad, Encinitas and Carmel Mountain Ranch. The Schulzes’ goal was to make their juice “approachable,” said Amber Baker, area manager for all San Diego stores. “Nékter been called ‘the people’s juice’,” Baker said, noting that the ingredients are recognizable and the prices are affordable. The juices are made with fresh ingredients going right into the juicer and the smoothies are blended with a combination of fresh and frozen fruits and veggies, mixed with housemade cashew milk. Nékter uses cashew milk rather than almond milk as it makes a creamier, richer smoothie, Baker said. First-time customers are encouraged to try the Berry Banana Burst smoothie, a blend of strawberries, bananas, blueberries and housemade vanilla cashew milk or the bright orange The Buzz, a juice made with carrot, orange, ginger and lemon that promises an extra “pep in your step.” Customers can also elect to make their own blends. The store also has a grab-and-go bar with pre-made juices and a selection of healthy snacks, many of them organic and gluten-free, that pair well with the drinks. Nékter offers one-, two-, three- and five-day juice cleanses — a simple way to “flood the body” with more vitamins and nutrients in a single day than you would normally consume in an entire month. The blends have approximately 15 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables that help to give the digestive system a break, rid the body of impurities and even help the skin. Each cleanse day is made up of six juices. “It’s tasty compared to other cleanses,” said Elle Vandaie, general manager. “My skin started to glow more — that was a big thing for me. And I didn’t feel heavy; it made me feel more light.” Baker said the one-day cleanse is perfect after a weekend of indulging. “It just resets me and it wakes up my taste buds and gets me back on track,” Baker said. Customers can look forward to several seasonal treats in the coming months that offer all the tastes of the holidays with a lot less guilt. For Thanksgiving, they have a pumpkin-pie smoothie blended with dates, banana, cinnamon, nutmeg, agave and cashew milk. In December, they will serve up a cold green apple cider with ingredients like kale, spinach and fennel, and a chocolate peppermint smoothie made with cacao and carob, avocado, cashew milk, pure organic peppermint oil and fresh sprigs of peppermint. “It tastes like a Peppermint Patty, and it’s really creamy and delicious,” Baker said.

SB church helps raise more than $10,000 for elderly, hungry, working poor in SD Two churches raised more than $10,000 at an Oct. 18 dinner to benefit elderly, hungry and working poor people in San Diego. Volunteers from Calvary Lutheran in Solana Beach and the Chinese Bible Church of San Diego served soup and bread provided by 27 local restaurants in ceramic bowls handcrafted and donated by local artisans. Participants got to choose their bowls and take them home afterward. “I am so pleased to have participated in the Empty Bowls event,” county Supervisor Dave Roberts said. “Food insecurity is a real problem for real people, including families facing temporary financial hardship. “Empty Bowls received great community support, which shows that by working together, we can make a real difference toward ending hunger,” Roberts said. More than 350 people enjoyed the third annual event at Calvary called “Empty Bowls.” It will benefit the Third Avenue Charitable Organization at First Lutheran Church in downtown San Diego — a social ministry that provides free meals plus medical, dental and mental health care to people in need, regardless of their religious beliefs. Since 2012, the events have raised enough money to run one of TACO’s clinics for 26 months or to provide nearly 36,000 meals to needy individuals. The North County chapter of Thrivent Financial contributed $1200 to the fund-raiser this year. Entertainment was provided by The Big Decisions, a local band. Created in 1990 by an art teacher in Michigan, Empty Bowls is now an international grass-roots effort to fight hunger. “Empty Bowls will continue to remind us of our abundance and also the reality that so many around us go hungry,” said the Rev. Dr. Lawrence L. Hand, pastor of Calvary. “We will continue this effort faithfully until every bowl is

Implantable Technology, the Future of Healthcare It might sound like the stuff of science fiction movies, but implantable technology is closer to reality than you might think. We already use wearable medical devices, but scientists and doctors are working on mechanisms that are inserted inside the body to monitor health conditions and treat illnesses. This technology could greatly improve the healthcare system, ranging from a drastic reduction in hospital visits to 24-hour monitoring care that doesn’t require a nurse, to more effective pain management. Implantable technology is already advancing, and this means that the devices are shrinking. For example, pacemakers used to be the size of hockey pucks, but
within two to three years time, there will be heart devices used that are no larger than a vitamin pill. Here are five ways in which this implantable technology might revolutionize the healthcare industry: 1. Reduce hospital visits Soon, patients will be able to selfmonitor their conditions with the help of implantable devices. By tracking their vital signs and other important numbers at home, this will reduce the need for doctor visits, lab work, and 24-hour home caregivers. In fact, earlier this year, the FDA approved the use of the CardioMEMS HF System from St. Jude Medical. This wireless technology has aided doctors in managing heart conditions and has significantly reduced the number of hospital admissions. 2. Improve monitoring of chronic conditions This technology could offer a huge breakthrough with how patients with chronic conditions monitor their health. For example, patients with diabetes could use an implantable mechanism to monitor their glucose levels. This will offer continuous and real-time feedback, and may even be

able to immediately inject the appropriate amount of insulin. At this point, scientists are still working on advancements in batteries to make these devices last longer and their chips to become more powerful. When that happens, this will be an invaluable technology to millions of patients. 3. Decrease painkiller addictions The industry is working on implantable technology that is attached to the spinal cord and is able to intercept pain signals then cancel them out before they reach the brain. This will be a far more effective and healthy way to manage pain. It will be able to reduce or eliminate the addictiveness and other side effects that come with the pain medication we use today. 4. Treat Tumors This particular technology is still 15 to 20 years away, but eventually the industry is hoping to create microscopic nanobots that can aid in treating tumors. They will move through a patient’s veins magnetically and travel to the site of the tumor than attack it with doses of medication. Some of these nanobots could be injected into the body, but some of them might also simply be
ingested in pill form. 5. Transmit Data to doctors Implantable technology could not only be used to help monitor and treat conditions in a patient’s body, but partnered with other innovations, could transform communication with doctors and hospitals. When connected to something like wearable wristbands or smartphone apps, an implantable device could send data to doctors via the cloud. This will give healthcare professionals real-time data without a trip to the doctor’s office. “There’s huge potential here,” said John Moore, an analyst at Chilmark Research. “The future is only limited by our ability to create these systems that are safe, userfriendly and convenient for the physician and patient.” At the Encinitas Nursing and Rehabilitation Center we take care to be at the forefront of the newest technology.

Tanz family presents $1 million gift for Medical Research at Sanford-Burnham Gala San Diego’s philanthropic community was out in force at the annual Sanford-Burnham Gala, during which the Tanz family of Rancho Santa Fe gifted $1 million to fund research on neurodegenerative diseases. More than 200 attendees were on hand at the elegant event held Nov. 1 at the Estancia Hotel and Spa in La Jolla. The gift establishes a joint effort between Sanford-Burham and the Tanz Centre at the University of Toronto to find new therapeutic treatments for neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and ALS. Contributors to the cause paid $1,000 each for the black-tie event. Sponsorship tables ranged from $10,000 to $50,000. The evening’s glamorous “Top Hat” theme came from Irving Berlin’s classic musical. The guest list included prominent charity donors from Rancho Santa Fe, La Jolla, Del Mar and Carmel Valley. The chairs for the event were RSF residents Karen and Stuart Tanz, along with Lisa and Steven Cassidy. They all expressed gratitude towards the participants of the sold-out event, stating that the future looks bright, thanks to warm and giving hearts.
Among the attendees was Congressman Juan Vargas, who said it was wonderful to see the outpouring of support for medical research: “What we are truly celebrating tonight is the generosity that our community has towards important causes such as neurodegenerative research. Events such as this gala tonight contribute greatly to the medical strides our next generation will benefit from.” This collaboration will bring together the cutting-edge resources of Sanford-Burnham’s drug discovery platform and drug optimization technologies with the Tanz Centre’s expertise in neurobiology and prototype therapeutic testing. The director of the centre, Dr. Peter St. George-Hyslop, says this landmark gift is a catalyst that will drive important research between the two organizations, leading towards improved treatment for millions of people who will experience a neurodegenerative disease during this lifetime. Sanford-Burnham is a nonprofit, independent institute that employs more than 1,000 scientists and staff in La Jolla and Orlando, Fla. www.sanfordburnham.org.

Assistance League’s Valerie Thatcher, vice president of Philanthropic Programs (pictured at far left in photo above), recently presented a check for $2,000 to the Cardiff School District for use in their two elementary schools, Cardiff Elementary and Ada Harris Elementary. The Assistance League’s donation will be used for books at the schools’ libraries. In searching for needs that should be met, the Assistance League discovered that many elementary schools’ budgets for books have been cut dramatically and that they need funding. In 2013, Cardiff Elementary School received the highest state ranking, 10, for academic performance — with a high API score. Yet the staff never has trouble identifying 100 children who qualify for free/reduced lunches, according to the Assistance League. The “free/reduced lunch” is one indicator
used by schools to qualify families for the Assistance League’s clothing children effort at Target. This year, 1,000 children have been invited to shop with Assistance League and receive $75 each in school clothes and shoes. Assistance League hosts 10 shopping events for elementary children and their parents each fall. Recipients are from families that struggle financially. Assistance League serves District 3 Coastal North County school districts (Encinitas, Cardiff, Solana Beach, Del Mar). Assistance League of Rancho San Dieguito has been serving North County San Diego communities for more than 20 years. Its mission is to implement programs and services that enrich the lives of children and adults in need. Photos by McKenzie Images. For photos online, visit www.encinitasadvocate.com.

A word about bird...for a terrific Thanksgiving The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN With Turkey Day around the corner, here are some tips and tricks for pulling off a flawless and fabulous Thanksgiving feast. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be a Skinflint Everyone loves an attention-grabbing centerpiece â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a juicy, flavorful bird with crisp, golden skin. To achieve the latter, simply massage the skin with virgin olive oil, a fresh garlic clove, and season with coarse sea salt and fresh cracked pepper. With 15 minutes to go on the clock, brush the bird generously with some white vermouth to give a golden
glaze thanks to the sugars in this fortified wine. For a crispier skin without the booze, unwrap the turkey the day before cooking, and expose the skin overnight in the refrigerator. To prevent the turkey from getting too toasty, create a tent by folding a large sheet of parchment paper down the center, and fanning it loosely over the bird. Repeat the process with aluminum foil and place it over the parchment. Tent the turkey at the start of roasting, and please, no peeping toms allowed. Only open the oven about 30-45 minutes before ETA, and remove the tent to allow for even browning â&#x20AC;Ś or roast the bird au naturel until the desired golden color is achieved, then tent at the end. Sage Advice The quintessential herb of the holidays, the mighty sage, a bold member of the mint family, can be overpowering, so use judiciously. A little snip of this musky grayish-green leaf goes a long way with fatty meats and fowls for dialing up flavor, tempering gaminess and aiding digestion.
Sage equally enlivens vegetarian dishes from risottos, stuffings and corn breads to roasted roots, potatoes and even ice cream. For the full flavor oomph, add sage toward the end of cooking or use the more pungent dried instead of fresh. Whip up a compound with organic butter, minced sage and spices, and insert under the breast skin of the turkey before roasting to enhance tenderness and juiciness. Finger on the Pulse Although mashed potatoes are traditional at Thanksgiving tables, start your own tradition with a blend of delicate heritage fingerling potatoes. Some popular varieties of these cute little stubby crescents resembling sausage-shaped fingers include goldenskinned Russian Bananas, Purple Peruvians, Swedish Peanuts and French redskins. Strut your Stuff To stuff or not to stuff, that is the big culinary question every Thanksgiving. For those in favor of stovetop stuffings, your bird will roast more quickly and uniformly. As well, you
donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to worry about cavity protection. If the stuffing isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t completely scooped out from the cavity within an hour after the turkey is removed from the oven, the environment is ripe for the formation of bacteria and food-borne illnesses. For die-hard turkey stuffing lovers, simply pack the dressing in a cheesecloth bag and insert in the cavity. This not only prevents sticking to the insides, but makes for easy removal when the bird is done. As a healthy change-up to traditional high-carb dressings (i.e. bread and rice), try filling the cavity with an assortment of fresh herbs and hearty root vegetables (carrots, parsnips, turnips, celery root and kohlrabi), exotic mushrooms (porcini, oyster, portobello, crimini), caramelized onions and pecans, roasted French chestnuts, a blend of dried fruits (apricots, prunes, figs, cranberries) or chunks of seasonal squashes. Pie in the Sky A great place to cut the carbs at the Thanksgiving table is in the dessert. Swap out the pumpkin pie for an

Another idea is to serve a refreshing dollop of autumnal gelatos such as apple-cinnamon, gingersnap pecan, or cran-raspberry over a heap of fresh berries for your just desserts following the food orgy.
