‘Children’s Bicycle Safety Skills Class’
Boardwalk backers plan March 21 rally: ‘We’re not ready to give up’ BY JOE TASH Supporters of a popular wooden boardwalk on the south side of the Del Mar Fairgrounds are planning a hike and rally this Saturday, March 21, after a vote by the California Coastal Commission that could require the removal of the structure. At its March 11 meeting, the Coastal Commission had a tie vote, 5-5, on a request by the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority to allow the boardwalk to remain in its location next to the San Dieguito River. The tie vote meant the JPA’s request was denied. The 1,200-foot-long boardwalk, made of planks on a raised framework, was built in 2007. It was constructed with $354,000 in grants, as well as hundreds of volunteer hours from Rotarians and other community members. Removing it will cost an estimated $150,000. The boardwalk sits on land owned by the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the state-owned fairgrounds. In order to settle a longstanding dispute with state regulatory agencies, the 22nd DAA agreed to restore the dirt lot where the boardwalk is located into wetlands. As part of the restoration project, the Coastal Commission staff asked that the boardwalk be moved next to Jimmy Durante BouleSee BOARDWALK, page 19

Accusations made by both sides as One Paseo petition signature drive continues BY KAREN BILLING With the March 25 deadline looming to collect 33,224 signatures, One Paseo referendum signature gatherers have been out all over the city from in front of Jimbo’s in Del Mar Highlands to Whole Foods Market in Hillcrest. Both One Paseo supporters and opponents have been accused of dishonest tactics. Both sides have been accused of harassing people to sign or not to sign, and both have been accused of lying about what the petition is for — “saving the San Diego Chargers” has been a popular plea. Legal representatives of Protect San Diego’s Neighborhoods sent the first of two ceaseand-desist letters to Kilroy Realty on March 13, demanding that the company stop its “egregious and anti-democratic activities.” The coalition claims that Kilroy’s “signature blockers” have spit in the faces of petition circulators and surrounded tables to separate them from the public. “Kilroy’s attempts to torpedo our efforts and manipulate San Diego voters are despicable,” said Jeff Powers, spokesperson for Protect San Diego’s Neighborhoods. “More importantly, however, these extreme actions show that Kilroy is desperate. The company knows that if our efforts succeed and One Paseo is placed before voters, it will be soundly defeated.” See ONE PASEO, page 19
SB School District backs bill ending personal belief exemption for vaccinations BY KRISTINA HOUCK In response to a measles outbreak that started in Southern California, the Solana Beach School Board recently voted to support legislation that would end exemptions to mandated school vaccines because of “personal beliefs.”

California is one of 18 states that allows parents to enroll their children in school unvaccinated through a personal-belief exemption to public health laws. The recent measles outbreak, however, has prompted two California lawmakers to introduce legislation that would

end the state’s vaccine exemption loophole. In February, Democratic Sens. Richard Pan of Sacramento and Ben Allen of Santa Monica introduced Senate Bill 277, a law that would eliminate exemptions except for children with medical conditions.
In a 4-0 vote, board members on March 12 approved a resolution supporting the bill. “We’re taking a lead role on this because it’s really important,” said board member Richard Leib, who suggested the board support the legislation at the February meeting. Since then, he has talked

Del Mar, Solana Beach address District workshop discusses high school concerns over Kaaboo festival boundaries, enrollment, program ‘equity’ BY KRISTINA HOUCK The cities of Del Mar and Solana Beach are working with the agency that runs the Del Mar Fairgrounds to address community concerns about a three-day music, food and drink festival. Publicly announced in late February, the inaugural Kaaboo Del Mar festival will feature seven stages and more than 100 music acts and performances over the weekend of Sept. 18-20. Although organizers have planned the event for months, Del Mar and Solana Beach learned about the star-studded lineup when the public did. “The event is already planned,” said Corti in an interview. “It would have been nice if they would have communicated to us what the event was before it was announced.” Del Mar council members first brought up concerns about noise, traffic, security and other potential impacts from the event during the March 2 council meeting. Since then, Kaaboo organizers have given a presentation about the event to the fair board’s Community Relations Committee, which includes representatives from both cities. Del Mar Mayor Al Corti and City Manager Scott Huth, along with Solana Beach Mayor Lesa Heebner, Councilman Mike Nichols and interim City Manager David Ott, attended the March 10 meeting. “We voiced our concerns to the fairgrounds, and they indicated that they want to understand better what the impacts are
and come to some understanding of how they’re going to be mitigated,” Corti said. “Hopefully, we can figure that out.” Said Heebner in an interview, “I felt assured that they heard us, and they will work with us. The team does seem quite expert at what they do.” In an interview, fairgrounds CEO and general manager Tim Fennell said he asked festival organizers to make a presentation to the Community Relations Committee, but because of scheduling conflicts, the earliest it could take place was in March. Still, Fennell said the event was first made known in January 2014, as organizers originally planned to hold the festival in September 2014. Fennell said the event was first discussed during a Community Relations Committee meeting in January 2014 and at the fair board meeting later the same day. He added that board member David Watson, chairman of the committee, reported on the event. The festival was also addressed at the board and committee meetings in January 2015, he said, before the board’s February approval of a $1.95 million contract with festival organizers HorsePower Entertainment. “It had kind of been mentioned, but this is the first time we’ve had a detailed discussion and learned specifically what this is all about,” Heebner said. Corti, who joined the committee after
BY KAREN BILLING The third of four high school enrollment workshops was held at Carmel Valley Middle School on March 12. The workshops are educating the community about the various ways to enroll students using options proposed by the high school enrollment study group. The district also intends to survey parents on the best way to move forward and to remove some of the anxiety students face about getting into their first-choice school. It is a tough task, as Michael Grove, associate superintendent of education services said: “There is no perfect solution that makes everybody happy.” At the workshops, parents were broken into groups and asked to weigh the pros and cons of the enrollment study group’s five options. The options were: boundaries for all schools, eliminating all boundaries, a mix of boundary and non-boundary schools (the current situation), small boundaries around each academy and small boundaries around each school, and no boundaries for the rest of the district. Mark Caton, a parent member of the study group, said the group decided to present all possible options they discussed to the public rather then narrowing them down. Caton said he decided to get involved because of the “unnerving” situation his son, a student at Solana Santa Fe School, might be facing getting into his choice
school. “I joined the group so I could get a handle on what I was hearing,” Caton said, noting he heard rumors along the lines of “you’ll never get in.” He said the group was unbiased and as “exciting as you can imagine” with 42 people with a diversity of opinions. San Dieguito High School Academy and Canyon Crest Academy are open boundary schools. If more students select a school than there are available seats, the district decides who gets in through a completely random lottery. No preference is given to proximity. One parent said none of the group’s options seem to be getting at the real issue: “The question is, what’s driving students to choose the other schools? It’s more than just drawing lines,” the parent said, noting many kids want to attend the academies because they can take eight classes rather than six. More classes means more options for AP classes or electives, and if Torrey Pines were made a more attractive and equal option, there might be less “unhappiness” with the selection process. Grove said that personally, he agrees. “Regardless of the ways we enroll kids into high school, we have to address programmatic equity,” he said. “I believe that the real issue is that two of the high schools can take eight classes and two can take six.

Del Mar council OKs $30K to join study Earl Warren rebuild plan gets OK of fairgrounds’ economic impact on cities BY KRISTINA HOUCK
BY KRISTINA HOUCK Del Mar will soon learn exactly how the Del Mar Fairgrounds benefits and affects the city. In a 4-0 vote with Deputy Mayor Sherryl Parks absent, the Del Mar City Council on March 16 approved an agreement with Economic & Planning Systems to conduct an economic impact study of the Del Mar Fairgrounds. In November 2012, the board of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which operates the state-owned fairgrounds, voted to settle a lawsuit filed against the district by Del Mar, Solana Beach and the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority over expansion plans at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Under the terms of the February 2013 settlement agreement, the board agreed to a joint study to determine the actual costs for services provided as well as revenue generated by the district for the neighboring cities. “I’m glad we finally got this, because this is part of our settlement agreement,� said Councilman Don Mosier. “It’s taken quite a long time to get to this point, and I’m anxious to move forward with this study.� The Del Mar Fairgrounds occupies 340
acres in north coastal San Diego County, 80 percent of which is located in Del Mar, next to Solana Beach. Every year the fairgrounds hosts about 300 events, attracting about 3 million visitors annually, including the annual county fair, thoroughbred races and hundreds of special events and trade shows. Jointly funded and managed by Del Mar, Solana Beach and the 22nd District Agricultural Association, the study will assess the overall net economic impact of the activities of the Del Mar Fairgrounds on infrastructure, operations and services within the cities of Del Mar and Solana Beach. As part of the study, firm Economic & Planning Systems will conduct surveys at five major events, including the county fair, summer races, National Horse Show, Good Guys Car Show and Kaaboo music festival. “I’m very excited to get a good product, but I also don’t have any illusions,� said Councilman Dwight Worden. “This has been so controversial and been looked at so many times, there will be smart people who will pick at this if it isn’t done right.� The study is expected to cost $86,250, but Del Mar, Solana Beach and the district will each set aside $30,000 for the project. City staff expects to present results to the council in late October or early November.
Woman killed by train March 12 in Del Mar BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A passenger train struck and killed a woman early March 12 as she lay across the tracks on the outskirts of Seagrove Park, authorities reported. Despite the blaring of the train’s horn, the unidentified woman remained on the rails as the southbound Coaster locomotive bore down on her near the intersection of Coast Boulevard and 15th Street in Del Mar shortly after 5:30 a.m., according to sheriff’s officials. “The operator activated the emergency braking system but was unable to stop the train before striking the woman, who was pronounced dead at the scene,� Deputy Amber Reeves said. The woman appeared to be in her early 50s, according to the county Medical Examiner’s Office, which was working to determine her identity.
Earl Warren Middle School is one step closer to a new campus. The California Coastal Commission on March 11 unanimously approved San Dieguito Union High School District’s plans to demolish and rebuild the aging Solana Beach school. Voters approved a $449 million bond measure in November 2012, funding upgrades and repairs at the district’s North County campuses. Because Earl Warren was originally built in 1954, however, district officials opted to reconstruct rather than renovate the outdated school at 155 Stevens Ave. in Solana Beach. The $41 million project kicked off in August 2014 with the demolition of Warren Hall, the school’s multipurpose room. The district also constructed a network operations center, and installed two portable buildings and a new hardcourt area, according to the commission’s report. With the commission’s approval, the campus should be under construction by fall 2015. Students will be moved into an interim campus on the athletic fields. The temporary site will have 31 classroom buildings, three restroom buildings, an administration building, a student services building, a food service building, a locker building, a multipurpose room, an outdoor dining area, a hardcourt area, and a 62-space parking lot. At the same time, the old campus will be demolished and a new campus will be built. The new campus will feature seven buildings, two student drop-off areas and a fire truck road on the 19.4-acre lot. The site will also include a 56-space parking lot, in addition to the two parking lots next to the library. Construction is expected to be complete by fall 2017. With the commission’s conditional approval, the district must submit final design and landscape plans for review and written approval. The district must also submit final plans for storage and staging, construction pollution prevention, long-term water quality management, and turf and pest management.
Motorcyclist crashes during chase in Carmel Valley BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A motorcyclist suspected of speeding crashed and was seriously injured March 13 while being chased by California Highway Patrol officers in Carmel Valley. The suspect failed to yield and a pursuit was initiated just after 5 p.m. on Interstate 5 at Carmel Valley Road, said San Diego police Sgt. Brad O’Donnell. The rider exited the freeway and continued evading pursuing officers on city streets, eventually losing control of the motorcycle and striking a curb and an occupied parked vehicle in the 12600 block of High Bluff Drive, O’Donnell said. “The suspect sustained serious injuries, including two compound leg fractures and internal injuries,’’ O’Donnell said. The rider’s injuries are considered non-life-threatening, O’Donnell said, adding that the person in the parked vehicle suffered minor injuries.

In partnership with the Association of California School Administers, the San Diego County School Boards Association recognizes outstanding individual board members, administrators, staff, parents and community members every year. Stephanie Kowack was selected as the county’s “Parent Volunteer of the Year.� Originally from the East Coast, Kowack has three children who have all attended Solana Beach district schools. At the March 12 Solana Beach School Board meeting, she thanked the district’s teachers for their passion. “Supporting that, as a parent, has been really rewarding,� she said. In the past eight years, Kowack has been an active member of the parent teacher
SB board recognized for support of students’ health BY KRISTINA HOUCK The Solana Beach School District recently joined San Diego County’s ongoing initiative to improve the health and safety of community members. In February, the Solana Beach School Board unanimously approved a resolution in support of Live Well San Diego, a long-term effort to improve the health and wellness of residents. In recognition of the district’s commitment to the health and safety of its students, San Diego County Supervisor Dave Roberts presented the school board with a proclamation and declared March 12 as “Solana Beach School District Day� throughout the county. “You all truly get the connections between living healthy and learning in school,� said Roberts, a Solana Beach resident whose children have attended district schools. “I can’t thank you enough.� The county launched Live Well San Diego in 2010. Through the initiative, the county partners with local schools, businesses and organizations. “The call to action really motivates all of us,� said Chuck Matthews, deputy director of the county’s Health and Human Services Agency. “This could be the first generation of kids that might not live as long as their parents. That’s why we’re taking this action. Here, in Solana Beach, you have been taking that action.� Although the school board just recently adopted the resolution, the district has long supported health and wellness through a variety of programs. With the help of the district’s Wellness Committee, each school site has a school garden providing fresh, organic produce for the district’s lunch program. The district’s Child Nutrition Program also offers salad bars at all seven schools, five days a week. “I have an enormous sense of pride that we received this,� said board president Vicki King. “We’re excited that we’re able to bring this to our students.�
Del Mar Mesa Community Planning Board brief; March 12 meeting BY SUZANNE EVANS The Del Mar Mesa Community Planning Board continued to discuss the non-compliance to fencing guidelines of some Pardee Homes in Alta Del Mar, an enclave of estate homes and custom homesites southeast of Carmel Country Rd. “Pardee’s justification for the non-compliant fences is that the homeowners are already in their homes, and non-compliant fences are surrounded by landscaping,� board chair Gary Levitt said. Levitt complained that the “cheaper� fences were built behind landscaping, but still don’t meet the Specific Plan requirements and are not the fences Pardee promised. “We want compliance with the Del Mar Mesa Specific Plan, in which Fencing Guidelines specify fencing should not be solid,� Chair Gary Levitt reiterated. The city’s condition of approval for Pardee’s Alta Del Mar was that fencing not be solid, Levitt emphasized.

In addition, Kowack has participated in school and district strategic planning meetings and district advisory board meetings, explained board president Vicki King. She is also an active volunteer for Girl Scouts San Diego, Kids Korps USA, Del Mar Carmel Valley Sharks and Female Athlete Volunteers. “We wanted to, as a board, highlight all that you’ve done for our district and our community,� King said. “I think, in life, there are people who stand out as leaders and people who stand out because they exemplify a quality of character that you can’t really learn. It’s just who you are.� More than 500 members of the San Diego educational community are expected to attend the awards dinner, taking place from 5-9 p.m. April 24 at the Sheraton San Diego Hotel and Marina, 1380 Harbor Island Drive in San Diego.

Yellow Ribbon Week speaker encourages TPHS students to ‘stay in the game’ BY KAREN BILLING Yellow Ribbon Week at Torrey Pines High seeks to remind students that they are not alone. The week designated to draw attention to combating suicide has never been timelier, as suicide has become a major public health issue. San Diego County had 441 suicides in 2013, the highest number in county history. Roughly 41,000 suicides occur each year in America, and suicide is the second-leading cause of death among children and young adults ages 10-24. More than 5,000 teens and young adults die by suicide each year, more than in car Cmdr. Andrew Doan, left, accidents. with Don Collins, Torrey As Don Pines Teacher of the Year Collins, and PALS adviser. teacher and PALs adviser, told the gym packed with 2,400 students, a San Dieguito Union High School student had committed suicide just the week before. He was 14 years old. “There’s no shame in asking for help. There’s no shame in saying ‘I’m having a tough time and I need some support’,” Collins said. “Things may be stormy right now, but it is not going to rain forever.” The school’s PALs (Peer Assistant Leaders) designed Yellow Ribbon Week around a video-game theme, encouraging students to “stay in the game” with informational posters and a lineup of guest speakers that included Cmdr. Andrew Doan, M.D., Ph.D., the head of mental health addictions and resilience research for the Naval Medical Center in San Diego. Doan is not only a staff opthalmologist and ocular pathologist, but is an expert in technology and video game addiction. “We do better when we know better, and Dr. Doan gave us some vital information not just about how too much technology can impair performance, undermine success, and create suffering, but key ways to develop skills for communication, relationships and empathy,” Collins said. “His presentation was a great reminder that teenage brains are still developing and that too much of anything can create lifelong problems, especially if these habits get established at a young age.” Doan spoke about having his own share of stress and issues growing up. He was teased about his Vietnamese name. He was a teen at the time the film “Sixteen Candles” was released, and peers called him “Long Duk Dong” like a Vietnamese character in that movie. Doan said his immigrant parents put a lot of pressure on him to become a lawyer or a doctor, and even though he was a letterman in sports and got excellent grades, his self-confidence was low. When he got into Johns Hopkins Medical School on a full-ride scholarship, some relatives remarked that it “wasn’t Harvard,” even though it was the top medical school
in the country at the time. Doan said he knows many students at Torrey Pines are probably feeling the same kind of stress and pressure. “If you don’t have a healthy way of dealing with stress, it can really get destructive,” he said, adding that his father struggled with mental illness after worrying and burying his concerns about his immigration status. He said a remedy for stress is having a healthy mind, body and spirit. He advised students to get plenty of sleep and rest (nine hours a night, doctor’s orders), exercising regularly and taking the time to unplug, using methods like meditation or yoga. Doan talked about gaming and social media as the new “digital drug” and explained how video games work to reprogram the brain through a process called neuronal plasticity. He said the brain “lights up” with exposure to gaming in the same way it does for those addicted to drugs or alcohol. He said 1 in 11 people is addicted to gaming, and there have been some extreme cases of addiction over the last several years. A mom in New Mexico was sentenced to 25 years in jail after her baby starved to death while she was busy playing “World of Warcraft.” A Jacksonville, Fla., mother shook her baby to death because the child interrupted her “Farmville” game. A 20-year-old Xbox addict died because he went on a marathon playing session, ignoring a blood clot that formed in his lower extremities that traveled to his lungs. Doan spoke not only as an expert in video game addiction, but also from his personal experiences. He was addicted to video games at one point and also felt responsible for his son Nicholas’ addiction to gaming. Nicholas became extremely addicted to video games, particularly “Call of Duty.” Nicholas became withdrawn, didn’t spend time connecting with people and had a difficult time in school. Using his experiences with gaming addiction, Doan slowly cut back on Nicholas’ gaming. It wasn’t easy, but Nicholas slowly started participating in other activities and was encouraged to go out for track and field. It turned out he was an extremely fast runner, running a 4.11 mile and helping lead his team to the state championship in Oregon. After only 18 months of running, Nicholas is now committed to run Division 1 at the University of Portland. The key to the last 400 meters of the race is having adrenaline left in the tank — adrenaline that Nicholas would not have if he wasted it on gaming. “Time is a precious gift. Every child is gifted with a special talent waiting to be unleashed,” Doan said. “Unplug and discover the gift.” As with gaming, Doan said, teens can become addicted to social media, obsessing over “likes” and “friend” lists, constantly checking Instagram feeds or using Snapchat or Kik. Doan said overuse of social media can lead to a lack of communication skills, empathy, reflective thoughts and self-control. No online friend can replace what a real-life friend or family member can provide, he said. “You need close relationships to make you feel content and happy,” Doan said, recommending that people make a list of five people in their life and work to foster those relationships.

world, more students are drawn to a school that offers eight classes … Is the 4x4 (schedule) the best for every kid? I’m not sure. But the kids need to have the option to take more than six classes if they want to.” Grove said there’s lots of ways the district can get to that equity between campuses. He said that even before the enrollment issue arose, the district was talking about changing the bell schedules because they recognize it is the No. 1 factor driving people to the academies. The workshops were not intended to discuss enrollment for the 2015-16 school year, although the coming school year’s high school selection lottery was held March 12. Email notification of their students’ schools was scheduled to go to parents on Wednesday, March 18. Student enrollment begins March 30, and students have until April 24 to register. While the district will not release information on the numbers until that time, declarations for this year are almost identical to last year, the second year of that trend toward the academies, Grove said. At the March 5 board meeting, Superintendent Rick Schmitt said the district feels good about the numbers and that they hope all students will get into their first-choice schools. All freshmen students on the wait lists at Canyon Crest Academy and San Dieguito High School Academy were accepted last year (126 students at the former and 64 students at the latter). Since 2008, 98 percent of students got into their firstchoice school. In 2011-12, 512 students applied to San Dieguito and 112 were put on the initial wait list. Eventually 80 were accepted and 32 did not get in. CCA also faced an influx in 2011-12 with 781 freshman

applicants. Of those, 510 were accepted with an initial wait list of 271, and 221 did not get in. All 559 applicants got into the school in 2012-13 and the following year, CCA had 137 left on the wait list in 2013-14. “Moving forward, things are going to get tighter, as we’re running out of space at the academies,” Grove said. Most of the movement between schools is lateral, not vertical. Only 71 students in grades nine through 12 at CCA are from the north end of the district, and only 33 students at San Dieguito come from the south end of the district. Forty students moved vertically, with 20 attending La Costa Canyon and 20 opting to go to Torrey Pines. People at the workshop questioned why everyone was allowed in last year. Grove explained that one of the ways the district was able to find capacity was by looking at the master schedules. “We walked the entire campuses with master schedules and did a facility efficiency study to figure out how to get more kids into the schools,” Grove said, noting that some rooms that were used for storage or prep were able instead to be used to add students. Another factor was Prop AA funding. The district was able to accelerate plans to build another classroom building at CCA, moving the project from 2019-20 to the new classrooms being available in fall 2017. More capacity allows larger groups to be accepted into the school. Parents wanted to know why the number of slots available at CCA is “secret.” “It seems like a black hole,” one parent said. Grove said the number isn’t secret, but always changing — because of the numbers of students leaving or graduating. He said the district continues to work on facilities to create more space to admit more kids and also looks at schedules and programs. Parents had questions about the legality of homeowners not being able to attend the school their MelloRoos fees paid to build. Grove said that the seats available at any particular school have to be at least equal to the percentage of the school cost funded by Mello-Roos. Roughly 53 percent of CCA was funded through Mello-Roos and

former Mayor Lee Haydu’s recent retirement from the council, said he had just learned about the event. “No one understood the magnitude of this,” he said at the March 16 council meeting. Described on the event website as a “mix-perience,” Kaaboo will offer dancing, dining, an art fair, massages and hair and nail services, in addition to dozens of music and comedy acts. The concert lineup features artists across multiple genres, including No Doubt, The Killers, Zac Brown Band, Snoop Dogg and Foster the People. Event organizers are marketing the festival to an affluent, older crowd. Single-day tickets are not being sold. Prices for three-day passes range from $199 to $2,499, with cheaper passes already sold out. A limited amount of onsite lodging also will be available. “I don’t think it’s going to be Coachella at the Del Mar Fairgrounds,” said Heebner at the March 11 Solana Beach council meeting. With the festival geared toward a different audience from Coachella, Heebner said she thinks “it has the possibility of being a positive event.” “We just really hope that is the case,” Heebner said. “There’s no question that the fairgrounds is a regional asset, but there’s also no question that the two cities of Solana Beach and Del Mar pay for that regional asset with an impact.” Del Mar officials seemed more skeptical. During the March 16 Del Mar council meeting, council members questioned whether their efforts could really make a difference, since the event has already been planned with a lineup in place. “In the last few years, we’ve been working hard to try to improve our relationship with the fairgrounds and identify ways we can work together,” said Councilman Terry Sinnott. “This is kind of a disappointment.” “What’s the point of a Community Relations Committee if they work on something this major for a year and don’t bother to tell us about it until these level of commitments are already made?” Worden asked. “We can try to influence them, but we probably can’t.” Councilman Don Mosier, who has sat on the Community Relations Committee for some time, said the fair board works closely with the city, but not the management. “The management should listen to the board, get board direction,” he said. “That hasn’t happened. It’s the other way around. Until we can get a stronger board in place, we’re not going to be able to change this kind of behavior.” Three community members also spoke about potential impacts from the festival at the recent Del Mar council meeting. “At this point, I’m feeling like I’m going to be captive,” said resident Robin Crabtree. “To me, this is Kaa-boom,” said resident Bill Michalsky. “It’s all about the guys who are putting it on making big money. “It’s TFO — it’s a typical fairgrounds operation. Tim Fennell may be doing the right job financially for the fairgrounds, but he could give a rat’s about Solana Beach, Del Mar, the adjoining communities.” Kaaboo organizers estimate the event will generate $1.5 million in sales tax revenue, fill 10,000 hotel rooms that will generate $200,000 in occupancy tax revenue, and provide 2,500 jobs. After expenses for security and other services, Fennell said the fairgrounds should net more than $1 million. “I’m very confident it’s going to be a very successful event,” he said. “It’s going to be low-impact from a traffic and noise standpoint, but a very positive impact from the economic standpoint.” Fennell expects about 40,000 daily festivalgoers, which he said is a “slow day” at the San Diego County Fair. The annual fair has an average daily attendance of about 66,000 people. Outdoor performances will end by 10 p.m. each night. Indoor activities will run until 2:30 a.m. Organizers, Fennell said, already have effective traffic management and security plans in place. “I anticipate that this is going to be a very, very safe and secure event,” Fennell said. However, Corti said such plans were not presented at the committee meeting. “I’m optimistic that we’ll have a meeting and objectively try to figure out what the impacts are and how they’re going to be mitigated,” he said. “Until then, I remain somewhat skeptical that the fairgrounds is really listening to us.” For now, fairground and Kaaboo representatives plan to work closely with Del Mar and Solana Beach city staff, Fennell said. Representatives from each entity are scheduled to meet March 24 for an operational meeting, said Kristen Crane, assistant to the city manager, at the recent Del Mar council meeting. Kaaboo representatives will also make presentations at the Del Mar and Solana Beach city council meetings in the coming weeks. In the future, however, Del Mar and Solana Beach officials hope that the fairgrounds will work more closely with the local communities when planning events. “It was a big mistake on their part to not contact us in advance,” Heebner said. “We feel that they’re kind of playing catch-up now.” Said Corti, “In the future, I hope the fairgrounds takes a proactive approach. Before they plan these events, we should understand the impacts and figure out the mitigation. It’s something that a good neighbor should do.” about 20 percent of SDHSA was. The district has the options to do a Mello-Roos lottery and non-Mello-Roos lottery, or do a completely random lottery and make sure that the Mello-Roos threshold is met schoolwide. The district takes the approach of the random lottery and has never come close to not meeting the threshold. Also, Grove noted that every dollar spent from Prop AA monies to add to the school lowers the Mello-Roos percentage — so those 53 percent and 20 percent numbers will only continue to go down.

Challenged Athletes Foundation honors Williams’ legacy by raising $3M BY DIANE Y. WELCH A festive atmosphere, created by almost 500 guests at the Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa, served as a fitting ambiance for the sold-out fundraiser held March 7 for the Challenged Athletes Foundation. The gala “A Celebration of Will” honored the legacy of the late Robin Williams and raised more than $3 million for the newly established Challenged Athletes Foundation Endowment in Memory of Robin Williams, thanks in part to an anonymous donor who matched each dollar raised. These funds will provide challenged athletes with equipment and prosthetics, and help pay for training and competition expenses for many years ahead. In attendance were CAF board members and gala cochairs Jeff Essakow and Jeff Jacobs — co-owners of Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa — with notable guests Congressman Scott Peters, San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer, San Diego Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman, and Joan and Irwin Jacobs. The evening brought together celebrities and athletes. Amy Purdy — CAF Paralympic and “Dancing With the Stars” performer — danced on stage, and Hall of Fame tennis champion An-
dre Agassi offered up tennis lessons for auction, which sold for $100,000. Williams’ children, Zak, Zelda and Cody, presented grants to three CAF athletes who received Össur running feet, a handcycle and a mountain bike, respectively. Participating alongside challenged triathletes, actor/ comedian Williams dedicated much of his time in helping CAF grow during the past 21 years. “He made everyone feel so special,” said Essakow in a moving speech. “He said it was ‘like coming back home, coming back to family.’” Brianne “Breezy” Bochenek was diagnosed with bone cancer at age 10 and chose to have her leg amputated at age 11. She sang at the gala and spoke earlier of this feeling of family that was a thread running throughout the evening. “I feel like I’m at home on the stage because I do consider CAF family,” she said. “It’s like they have put their arms around me, they make me feel so welcome.” Breezy sang her version of “Part of Your World” from “The Little Mermaid,” modifying the words to “CAF World.” Celeste Corcoron, a survivor of the 2013 Boston Marathon bombing, was spotlighted. Last year she re-

Paralympian Scout Bassett, who went from orphan to world-class athlete, started to run when she was 14 and it transformed her life. “I haven’t stopped since,” she said. “With CAF there are no limits to what I can do ... It made me whole.” Sarah Reinertsen, the first woman with a prosthetic leg to finish the Ironman World Championship, became an athlete at age 11, four years after her leg was amputated because of a rare tissue disorder. “As a kid with a disability, it was tough to get integrated into sports.

CV student wins individual award as Bishop’s Mock Trial Team wins tourney
The Bishop’s Mock Trial Team won the San Diego County Mock Trial Tournament with a hard-fought victory Feb. 28 over La Jolla Country Day School. This was the fifth victory in the past six years for the school’s team in the highly competitive 10-day tournament. The team now advances to represent the county March 20 at the state tournament in Riverside. The Mock Trial Team is a class project in Bishop’s Advanced Placement U.S. Government class. From October through February, students learn the roles of trial lawyers, witnesses, bailiff and clerk in order to advocate in a fictional criminal legal proceeding. Each round is scored by attorneys and presided over by judges of the San Diego Superior Court. “These high school students all conducted 52 trials in less than two weeks. They portrayed all aspects of either the prosecution or the defense as capably as many practicing attorneys. Their hard work showed,” said Judge Yvonne E. Campos, superior court judge and co-chair of the San Diego County High School Mock Trial Committee. This year’s case was a grand larceny charge against graduate student Evan Shem, who was accused of copying a work of modern art in order to sell the painting to pay off school debts. The Bishop’s team represented both a prosecution and a defense side. During the tournament, senior Shafeen Pittal of Carmel Valley won an award for “outstanding defense witness” for her portrayal of the defendant. In addition, the team’s comportment score was near-perfect in every Shafeen Pittal of Carmel round. This represents the hard work, integrity and sportsValley receives her award manship with which the students approached the chalfrom Judge Earl H. Maas III. lenges of the competition. Head of School Aimeclaire Roche attended the competition and said, “As we think school-wide about authentic assessments, the mock trial competition strikes me as a perfect example of an authentic task where students dynamically apply what they have learned about our legal system and about a specific case scenario. I am so proud of this year’s team − the passion they brought and the integrity with which they approached very formidable opponents!”

TPHS Scholarship Fund board members help present “How to Survive the High Cost of College” on March 24 at the Torrey Pines High School Lecture Hall.
College financial workshop at TPHS March 24 Kerry Traylor, CEO and Founder of College Strategy Experts, has teamed with Torrey Pines High School Scholarship Fund committee to present a free workshop from 7-8 p.m. Tuesday, March 24, titled “How to Survive the High Cost of College.” The workshop, held at the Torrey Pines High School Lecture Hall, is open to the community and will provide information about college admissions and financial aid. Register for the workshop at www.tphssf.org. The TPHS Scholarship Fund is a nonprofit group that provides merit scholarships to deserving Torrey Pines High School students at the two- or four-year college, trade or vocational school or any accredited post-secondary education of their choice. College Strategy Experts CEO Traylor is well acquainted with the astronomical costs of college. As a graduate of Williams College, Tufts and Harvard universities, she uses her professional writing and editing skills to help students perfect their college essays. “Those essays translate into merit aid dollars,” she said. “They are the No. 1 tipping point in college admissions.” However, she finds that helping parents understand the complexities of financial and merit aid is also critical to reducing college costs. “The financial and merit aid systems have become so complex and convoluted that they tend to defeat even the most savvy parents and students,” she said. For every family that attends the March 24 workshop, College Strategy Experts will donate $25 to the TPHS Scholarship Fund. “I am so honored to be able to help the TPHS students,” said Traylor. Since 1987, the Scholarship Fund has provided Torrey Pines seniors with scholarships ranging from $500 to $2,000. “Today, the volunteer, community-based scholarship organization raises an average of $30,000 per year,” said Mary Stromitis, co-president of the TPHS Scholarship Fund.
Del Mar applies for $155,000 in SANDAG transportation funding BY KRISTINA HOUCK In an effort to improve transportation throughout the city, Del Mar is seeking $155,000 in funding from the San Diego Association of Governments. In a 4-0 vote with Deputy Mayor Sherryl Parks absent, the Del Mar City Council on March 16 agreed to apply for two TransNet Active Transportation Grants from SANDAG. A total of $3 million is available through the program in 2015 for capital and non-capital active transportation projects in local jurisdictions. Del Mar’s first grant application is for a Comprehensive Active Transportation Master Plan. If approved, the $85,000 project would guide future city improvements, projects, programs and policies to improve the mobility of non-motorized transportation. The plan would also help develop a comprehensive network of streets that are accommodating, attractive and safe for pedestrians, cyclists and drivers. The city is also requesting $70,000 to develop, with the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority, a railroad underpass crossing design to continue the Coast to Crest Trail past the railroad to Camino del Mar. The multi-user trail underpass would be part of the future double-tracking of the San Dieguito railroad bridge, which blocks the ability to the complete the trail to the beach. The grant applications are due to SANDAG by March 20. Approximately $26,000 of inkind staff time and matching funds from the city and the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority are also proposed for the grant projects.
New church to set up at Skyline School in SB BY KRISTINA HOUCK A new church is set to open in Solana Beach. With approval from the Solana Beach School Board on March 12, Surfside Church will set up shop at Skyline School this spring. “Thank you for hearing our application to rent space from the Solana Beach School District,” said Solana Beach resident Joshua Krzanak, the lead pastor of Surfside Church, before the vote. He is also the father of two — soon to be three — children at Solana Vista Elementary School. “If given the opportunity to rent some space for our startup, I just can’t express enough what a high value we would put on taking care of that property.” In a 4-0 vote, with vice president Debra Schade absent, the board approved a Facilities Use Agreement between the district and the church. Surfside Church’s Sunday morning services will be held in the Activity Center at Skyline School, 606 Lomas Santa Fe Drive in Solana Beach. The church will also use two classrooms on the campus. It will cost the church $75 per hour to rent the Activity Center and $45 per hour for each classroom from 9-11:30 a.m. Sundays.

Plight of African bonobos gets support in North San Diego County BY JOE TASH A Congolese woman’s passion for rescuing bonobos, a member of the great ape family with close genetic ties to both humans and chimpanzees, has generated support throughout the world, including North County. Two local women, Debbie Sandler and Ashley Stone, sit on the board of Friends of the Bonobos, a nonprofit group that supports the Lola Ya Bonobo sanctuary in the Democratic Republic of the Congo or DRC. Claudine André, founder of Lola Ya Bonobo, was in San Diego recently, and met with a reporter to discuss her work, the plight of the bonobos, and the organization’s efforts. Lola Ya Bonobo was founded in 1994 to rescue orphaned bonobos whose mothers were killed by poachers involved in the bush meat trade, in which exotic animals are slaughtered for their meat, which is then sold illegally for thousands of dollars. “It’s a business,” said André. “They can make a lot of money.” At the sanctuary, located on 75 acres near the Congolese capital of Kinshasa, the orphans are raised until adulthood, then released to the wild in a remote section of the country. André plans her third bonobo release this summer. The sanctuary houses about 75 bonobos. On April 23, a French documentary about André and her work, called “Beny: Back to the Wild,” will be released in English in the United States. After a premiere at New York’s Lincoln Center, the film will be available for streaming on Netflix, said Sandler, of Solana Beach. “Her story is about to become well-known in the U.S.,” said Sandler, who has visited the bonobo sanctuary in the DRC twice, in 2012 and 2015. Her passion, said Sandler, is education and advocacy for the bonobos, which are found in the wild only in the DRC, and are listed as an endangered species. Stone, of La Jolla, also is involved in advocacy, and has founded a new nonprofit, The Bonobo Project, to raise awareness about the animal’s plight and generate support for Lola Ya Bonobo and other conservation groups. Stone also has visited the Lola Ya Bonobo sanctuary. “The bonobo is, in my opinion, the underdog of all apes,” said Stone, because there are so few animals left in the wild (estimates range from 10,000 to 50,000), and they are not as familiar to people as the other great apes, chimpanzees, gorillas and orangutans. Along with public education, said Stone, she hopes the new group will be able to convene annual summits for bonobo stakeholders, and strengthen ties with the San Diego Zoo, which is one of only seven zoos in the U.S. with a bonobo collection. The five-member Bonobo Project board includes Kim Livingstone, lead keeper for the San Diego Zoo’s primate department, and Jingzhi Tan, a postdoctoral associate with Duke University, who has conducted research at the Lola Ya Bonobo sanctuary. According to the World Wildlife Fund website, bonobos are smaller, darker and leaner than chimpanzees. Their groups are considered more peaceful than chimpanzees, and they are led by females. Therefore, said Stone and Sandler, bonobo society can serve as an inspiration for humans, their close genetic relatives.

“I believe bonobos offer hope to humanity, because they resolve their conflicts peacefully,” said Stone. As André has pursued her work with the bonobos, she has enlisted the aid of Congolese people, seeking to educate them not to use bonobos as a source of food or keep them as pets. To encourage their cooperation, she said, her nonprofit has provided schoolbooks, medicine and agricultural assistance, and has also hired locals to track the animals after they are released into the wild, and to undertake anti-poaching patrols. André and her husband, who runs a transport business, have five children, and her daughter, an attorney, recently took over daily operations of Lola Ya Bonobo. “We have an alliance of females, like the bonobos,” she said. The release site, called Ekolo Ya Bonobo, is several hundred miles north of the sanctuary. To reach it, André and her staff must fly partway, then complete the final portion of the journey by canoe on the Congo River. Although the DRC has suffered from armed conflict between government forces and insurgents over past decades, André said most of the fighting is confined to the eastern part of the country, near Rwanda. Travel to the release site is not dangerous, she said. Efforts to preserve the bonobos are important not just for them, but for humans, too, said Sandler: “We need to keep these guys around so we can continue to learn from these apes.” For information about Lola Ya Bonobo, visit lolayabonobo.org.

Del Mar Heights School builds student responsibility with cross-age partnerships
CV Scouts part of annual Finish Chelsea’s Run Girl Scout Junior Troop 8766 was among participants in the fifth annual Finish Chelsea’s Run, co-hosted by Girl Scouts San Diego, on March 7. Pictured, L-R: Kiana, Molly, Kaitlyn and Shannon. Kiana and Shannon live in Carmel Valley. Nearly 8,000 participants and supporters gathered in Balboa Park for a morning of fitness, fun, hope and inspiration. Finish Chelsea’s Run 5K is the primary fundraiser for the Chelsea’s Light Foundation’s Sunflower Scholarship Fund, which provides scholarships to San Diego County college-bound teens who embrace characteristics that reflect the late Chelsea King’s thirst for knowledge, serviceover-self ethic, and indomitable spirit. Funds raised support Sunflower Scholarships and the Foundation’s efforts to continue the expansion of Chelsea’s Law, which increases penalties, parole provisions, and oversight for violent sexual predators who attack children like Chelsea. Girl Scouts San Diego will also receive some proceeds. “Girl Scouts and Chelsea’s Light Foundation share a common vision of recognizing and supporting young people who make the world a better place,” said Girl Scouts San Diego CEO Jo Dee C. Jacob. ”Chelsea was a Girl Scout, and this event is a wonderful way for our members to honor her memory.”

Solana Beach author channels grief into inspirational debut novel, ‘Moments in Time’ BY ROB LEDONNE Nina C. Payne had no aspirations to ever write a book, let alone a novel. “I’ve been writing since I was a little girl and it’s always been my outlet, but it was nothing I trained or studied for,” she explains on a recent Friday morning. “I never had any intention of writing a book.” Payne, who lives in Solana Beach with her two teenage children and husband, wound up surprising even herself with this month’s release of her debut novel “Mo‘Moments in Time’ was a way for Nina C. Payne to ments in Time,” a fictional channel her grief over losing her brother. Courtesy story that borrows heavily from a multitude of heart- photos ache Payne recently experienced. In 2008, her beloved brother Charlie was diagnosed with lung cancer. He passed away in 2012 from the disease, and four months later, her father passed away as well. Understandably, Payne was wracked with immense grief. “When my brother was sick, I knew I had to write something about him and our bond,” she explained of the origin of “Moments in Time.” “My brother and I were born the same day four years apart. We always shared a special bond, and I was just in the depths of despair (with his diagnosis). “So many of us have gone through tragedy and loss like this, and know the horrible stranglehold that grief can have on a person. At the time, I thought that if I can feel so low, there must be something else on the other side of the grief.” What Payne found, thanks to encouragement from her brother and husband, was that channeling her grief into writing not only helped her overcome her deep depression, but provided a beacon for others as well. “When I started writing, the floodgates opened,” she says of the process. “‘Moments in Time’ is fiction, but is based on a lot of true stories. Writing the raw truth of what happened was too painful for me, and that’s why I strung it into a novel. Like Stephen King says, ‘Fiction is the truth inside the lie.’” “Moments in Time” is self-published, thanks to a service Amazon.com offers that provides both a publishing platform as well as editors for insight and polishing. After rave reviews, Carlsbad’s Booth Media picked up handling the release of the book — a rare feat for a first-time author. “I wouldn’t have done any of this without my husband,” Payne said. “He drove it to Booth’s offices and said, ‘Please, consider this.’ Two weeks later, I received an email from Booth’s president that it brought her to tears with an offer to help” promote the book. Besides writing about her grief, Payne also credits the power of yoga for getting her through the toughest times. “In many ways, yoga saved my life,” she said. “I began doing yoga with my husband and got deeper into it with my brother upon his diagnosis. Word spread and I then started working with other cancer patients as well.” Payne is now a ubiquitous part of the North County yoga scene. Now that the book is out there, Payne said people are responding to it positively. “This book could help anyone going through grief,” she explained. “That’s not to say I’m not still hit with sadness, but I see it as a companion now.” The fact that “Moments in Time” is helping people is just another rewarding aspect of the process for Payne. “My brother would always tell me to get myself out there and ever since I have, it’s been amazing. I’m a very private person and when I write I feel very vulnerable. Knowing that people can relate to my writing gives me the greatest joy.” For more information, visit www.ninacpayne.com or amazon.com.

“Our society is facing a crisis: We’re afraid of being bored,” he said. “I encourage you to be bored. When you’re bored, you have original thoughts; you create and explore.” After the week’s presentations, many teachers emailed Collins to thank him for bringing the speaker to campus for Yellow Ribbon Week. “I think it’s impressive how many teachers immediately asked how to get this talk to share it with parents and students who weren’t able to attend. It shows the concern the staff has for the well-being of our community,” Collins said. “Plus, the requests are coming from science and math teachers as often as they are from our English, art and social studies teachers. That tells me the teachers are teaching kids here, not topics.” Collins said the interest from staff in sharing the presentation also shows their investment in supporting students’ full development — and making sure that all kids “stay in the game.” To view Yellow Ribbon Week videos and presentation, visit the PALs website, linked from tp.sduhsd.net.

Famed biologist joins DM environmental group Noted biologist, author and Harvard professor E.O. Wilson has joined Del Mar-based conservation group Nature and Culture International’s Board of Directors. Wilson is a longtime advocate of NCI’s work to conserve the endangered tropical forests of Latin America. “The program of NCI is powerful because it is grounded in two fundamentals: conservation is achieved acre by acre, and it is most effective and sustainable when it enhances not just the economic, but also the spiritual needs of those who inhabit the land,” said Wilson regarding NCI’s comprehensive conservation programs, which work with local communities and governments to build solutions from the ground up. A University Research Professor Emeritus at Harvard University, Wilson is considered the world’s foremost expert on myrmecology, or the study of ants. Among his many achievements, he is a two-time Pulitzer Prize-winning author renowned for his books ranging from biology to environmental advocacy and his secular-humanist ideas on the interplay between religion, ethics and conservation. “E.O. Wilson is an icon in the field of biology, and a staunch supporter of conserving tropical forests for both their biological and aesthetic values,” said Byron Swift, president of

would increase help for those who need it most
BY DAVE ROBERTS Did you know that 1 in 6 people live with developmental disabilities? That’s nearly a half-million people in San Diego County alone. As families across the region look for resources and care, a service center in North County is seeking public assistance to sustain the loving care it provides to special-needs clients. The center is TERI Campus of Life. TERI serves more than 600 people with autism and other special needs at its Oceanside location. From its modest beginnings in 1980 in a single residential group home, TERI has laid plans to open a university-style campus on 20 acres in San Marcos. It’s a rural setting, where clients could swim, ride horses, plant gardens, enroll in vocational programs and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of music and performing arts. I have no doubt that the campus would become a national model and set the standard for programming and business and environmental sustainability. But TERI needs your help. The federal Department of Defense has selected the project to receive $3.4 million through its Innovative Readiness Training Program, which provides real-world training for service members to prepare for wartime missions while supporting America’s underserved communities. But to secure that $3.4 million, TERI needs to raise $1.2 million immediately to keep the federal project on schedule. That’s why I’m appealing to our compassionate community to help TERI best serve those who need our help most. Expanding mental health services has been one of my top priorities since my election to the Board of Supervisors two years ago. The county’s outstanding partners, such as TERI, play a key role in delivering those services. I would hate to see this tremendous opportunity for TERI and developmentally disabled people disappear because of lack of funds. Any donor, at any level, can make a difference in the life of a mentally ill person and his or her family — a permanent difference — one that spans multiple generations. Contact TERI at 760-721-1706. Thank you so much for your support. Dave Roberts is vice chairman of the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

Lessons of One Paseo: Are developers back in the saddle in San Diego? BY GORDON CLANTON On Feb. 23, the San Diego City Council approved Kilroy Corp.’s One Paseo proposal to build an enormous shopping center with nine-story residential towers on Del Mar Heights Road near I-5. The proposed center triples the density allowed by current zoning. It will generate unmitigable traffic congestion. It will be a big as UTC, as big as Horton Plaza including its high-rise hotel, five times bigger than the adjacent Del Mar Highlands Town Center. The vote to approve was 7-2, with only Sherri Lightner and Marti Emerald opposed. Both Democrats argued against the proposal and spoke of the importance of listening to neighborhoods. Both noted that all the area’s community planning boards were opposed, as were the cites of Del Mar and Solana Beach. Sherri Lightner voted right and said all the right things. But she did not lead on this issue of such vital importance to communities in her First District. She kept her vote a secret to the end. There was no evidence she lobbied her colleagues to stand with her. She did not count to five. Democrat Lightner already had lost her voice and her credibility when council Republicans persuaded her to run for council president against Democrat Todd Gloria. She seems oblivious to this manipulation and to the damage done to political aspirations of the muchyounger Councilman Gloria. Of course, Gloria, along with fellow Democrats David Alvarez and Myrtle Cole, supported the proposal — in return for a promise that 10 percent of the residential units be reserved for low-income housing. They could point to the support of the construction unions. Unions almost always favor jobs over the environment. Gloria, Alvarez, and Cole represent neighborhoods where quality of life already has been compromised. So their constituents don’t feel a lot of sympathy for affluent Carmel Valley. What’s worse, this zone-busting development is defended as “smart growth,” an idea favored by environmentalists to permit greater densities near transit hubs to reduce suburban sprawl. Between “smart growth” and “affordable housing,” developers almost always get the much higher (more profitable) densities they always wanted. Is there no limit to the densities decision-makers will approve if a proposal claims to be “smart growth” or “transit-ready”? Are zoning regulations meaningless to corporations willing to spend millions to overturn them? Are developers back in the saddle in San Diego? Next step: Sign the petition to overturn the council approval. Visit www.protectsdneighborhoods.com. Gordon Clanton teaches sociology at San Diego State University. He welcomes comments at gclanton@mail.sdsu.edu.
We will neither forgive nor forget The San Diego City Council passed the Kilroy One Paseo project by a 7-2 vote and ignored the voices of all the Community Planning Boards in District 1. Both community board members and citizens living in Carmel Valley were told that our concerns could not be backed up by “expert witnesses” hired by Kilroy or City Development Service staff. Our concerns were trivialized and traffic impacts minimized. We heard from one Kilroy consultant that the 40-minute wait to get on I-5 was the “worst-case scenario.” A Kilroy consultant, waving some papers, claimed that they had a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Caltrans. This was merely a follow-up memo dated Oct. 1, 2014. Within this memo are key statements from Caltrans regarding the MOU. “We (Caltrans) would like to provide to the City some context of this MOU as it relates any perception of Caltrans being in support of the project, or that the MOU serves to mitigate all transportation impacts associated with the One Paseo development, or represent Caltrans ultimate approval of the mitigation.” “One specific item identified in the MOU to explore the feasibility of an Adaptive Signal Optimization Program was evaluated subsequent to the execution of the MOU, and Caltrans does not currently have the ability to participate in such a program for signals under Caltrans jurisdiction.” As voters living in District One, we have little direct impact on the City Council members living in other regions of the city. At some point, the seven City Council members who voted for Kilroy’s project may wish to run for re-election to the council or even for mayor. What you can do is fully support all those candidates running against the Gang of Seven. You can also decline to support the local political parties that collect funds in support of the Gang of Seven. Money is the lifeblood of politicians — cut off their money source! This is a quid pro quo action. Ignore us and there will be consequences. Dennis Ridz Past Chair, Torrey Pines Community Planning Board

Letters to the editor/Opinion
Which Master Plan is in operation today? Last week, Jim Watkins wrote in a Letter to the Editor that “the secondary benefit of a vibrant interactive center as the gathering place for residents, with a venue for multiple social, cultural and holiday community events is equally important for the revitalization of our downtown Village — both goals of Del Mar’s Master Plan.” Which Master Plan? In the ’70s, a sizable, representative group of residents got together and wrote the Del Mar General Plan, which stated, at Goal 4,B2, “Discourage high volume, or evening commercial activity on the perimeter of the downtown area, that may be detrimental to the livability of adjacent residential areas” — the Plan which is still in effect today. The Plan says nothing about “shopping center design,” with “anchors” at both ends. If that is what the residents want today, it seems we have to get together another sizable, representative group of residents to reflect something different in the required General Plan. Personally, being a resident living adjacent to the southern half of the six-block Del Mar Commercial Zone, I wouldn’t prefer the “vibrant interactive center as the gathering place for residents, with a venue for multiple social, cultural and holiday community events,” and restaurants/bars, with their accompanying rats, sometimes foul food-smell odors, noise, parking problems, drunken patrons (i.e., 15th St.), etc. “Retail” probably can’t compete with the nearby shopping centers, so we end up with restaurant/bars, plus the offices, providing employment and services for local residents — as stated in the General Plan. What should the General Plan reflect for the southern half of the Del Mar Commercial Zone today? Ralph Peck, Del Mar
BOARDWALK vard. The JPA, San Dieguito River Conservancy and the cities of Del Mar and Solana Beach contend that the boardwalk cannot be moved next to the road, because that is where an extension of the Coast-to-Crest Trail, slated to run some 70 miles from Julian to the beach at Del Mar, is planned. The groups say the two trails are separate and distinct and cannot be placed in the same location. The boardwalk “really is a completely different sort of trail,” intended for pedestrians, while the Coast-to-Crest trail will be compacted decomposed granite and designed for multiple users, from hikers to mountain bikers to horseback riders, said Shawna Anderson, principal planner with the River Park JPA. Anderson said the JPA will work with the conservancy, the 22nd DAA, and Del Mar officials to see whether there are options to keep the boardwalk where it is, despite last week’s deadlocked vote by the Coastal Commission. “We intend to explore other options with the 22nd DAA and Del Mar,” Anderson said. “We just need to strategize and see if we can come up with some options that we can consider for the boardwalk. We’re not ready to give up.” Saturday’s 10 a.m. rally planned by the conservancy is another part of the effort to save the boardwalk in its present location. Several hundred people, including County Supervisor Dave Roberts and possibly other local elected officials, will hike a short distance to the boardwalk, then pose for aerial photos taken by a drone, as well as hear speakers, said conservancy executive director Trish Boaz. Coastal Commission staff contends that if the boardwalk is moved, an additional acre of wetlands can be restored. They also said the boardwalk in its current location would impede water flow in the restored wetlands. Until now, the dirt lot where the boardwalk is located has been used by the fairgrounds for overflow parking for major events such as the San Diego County Fair and annual horse racing meets. At the Commission meeting, Coastal Commissioner and County Supervisor Greg Cox spearheaded the effort to preserve the boardwalk. Cox noted that mothers with strollers, joggers and a host of others regularly use the boardwalk. “It’s a very well-used interpretive

trail,” he said. “It’s an important part of what I think we should be promoting, which is education.” “The taxpayers are appreciating this. The educational impact of the boardwalk is significant enough, I would say leave it where it is,” said Commissioner Martha McClure. Other commissioners, however, were convinced by Commission staff that the boardwalk, left where it is, could hamper the success of the wetland restoration. “In truth, it is not the least harmful” alternative, said Commissioner Dayna Bochco of leaving the boardwalk where it is. Bochco and other commissioners said that if the boardwalk is allowed to remain, the JPA should be required to provide environmental mitigation, such as preserving wetlands in another location. Anderson, of the JPA, noted during her testimony that a restoration plan prepared by a biologist for the 22nd DAA included the boardwalk in its present location, with channels beneath the boardwalk to facilitate water flow. During his testimony, John Dixon, an ecologist with the Coastal Commission, conceded that the restoration with the boardwalk in place could work, although it would not be the best configuration. “If this is designed correctly, it could be made to work with one or two inlets,” Dixon said. Anderson said after the hearing that mitigation would probably be expensive. “We don’t have money sitting in the bank for mitigation,” she said. David Watson, a 22nd DAA board member, said his agency agrees with other local entities that the boardwalk should remain where it is. But he said in his opinion, not speaking for the full board, if the Coastal Commission orders the removal of the boardwalk, the 22nd DAA most likely will have to comply. “That seems to be the less expensive option,” said Watson, adding, “I prefer to leave the boardwalk where it is, because that’s what the community wants and I don’t agree with the environmental assessments that it’s a problem.” Another speaker at the Commission hearing, Don Mosier, a Del Mar councilman and chairman of the River Park JPA board, said the benefits of public access outweigh potential effects on the restoration area. “I think we’re letting the perfect be the enemy of the very, very good,” Mosier said.
ONE PASEO

Protect San Diego Neighborhoods is a coalition of residents, community planners and small business that receives major funding from Donahue Schriber, owner of Del Mar Highlands Town Center. At the March 17 Torrey Hills Community Planning Board meeting, Carmel Valley resident Jerry Mailhot, who is helping to coordinate the referendum drive, called Kilroy’s tactics “pure voter suppression at its worst.” He said the situation has become a “feeding frenzy” for signatures as the two groups clash. While they seek their signatures, he said Kilroy is seeking rescission signatures (which removes names from the referendum petition). He said the cops have been called when the situation has grown out of hand. Officer Tracey Williams, community relations officer for the San Diego Police Department’s Northwestern Division, said they have had many complaints, but no crimes have been committed. At a recent Del Mar Mesa Community Planning Board meeting, Williams cautioned that “You can’t touch or threaten [people] in any way; police are the peacekeepers.” Rachel Laing, representing Kilroy, said that accusing the other side of bullying in order to draw attention to their effort through the media is a standard tactic in signature gathering. Laing said that some of the misinformation being spread by signature gatherers that Kilroy has heard include that tax dollars will pay for the project and that the petition is to keep Wal-Mart from coming to San Diego. Signature gatherers have allegedly claimed “a mall is being built on a wetland”; another table was set up under a banner

VACCINES nization rates up. If affects all of our kids if something happens,” he said. “It affects our staff, too,” added board president Vicki King. “It is affecting staff right now.” Having existed since the 1960s, the exemption isn’t new, but the number of parents taking the exemption has increased in recent years. In some California schools, more than half of the students have not been vaccinated, citing the exemption. In 2000, federal health officials declared that measles had been eliminated in the U.S. But as the popularity of the personal-belief exemption increased, so too, did the number of measles cases. The country experienced a record number of cases last year, and the December outbreak that began at Disneyland has been linked to dozens of cases in California and other states. With the number of cases on the rise, the state has aimed to reduce the number of exemptions. A new California law, which took effect last year, changed the process for parents requesting immunization exemptions for their children. Assembly Bill 2109 requires signed documentation by a health care provider informing the parent

that read “Save our schools.” “The simple fact is that Donahue Schriber is funding a million-dollar, paid signature gathering effort to overturn a bipartisan, supermajority vote of the council,” Laing said. “Kilroy is exercising its First Amendment right to educate people before they sign a petition. There is absolutely no need to be aggressive to offer facts that most people appreciate greatly before they sign a petition.” Mailhot said he estimates they have gathered “well over” 33,000 signatures, and they are hoping to get 60,000. “We’re pushing like crazy to get all the signatures that we can,” he said. “We can’t afford to lose momentum in the last week.” Both sides have hired signature gathering firms to do the work. Mailhot said the firm they hired, Progressive Campaigns, offers $3 per signature. In addition to gathering signatures in front of stores, they are also going door to door. After the recent Del Mar Mesa Planning Board meeting, board member Lisa Ross said, “I have received responses from citizens all over the city that the planned One Paseo is a flawed city planning process. There was a hearing on city TV, and the city ignored every citizen’s testimony, including San Diego County Board of Supervisors Vice Chairman Dave Roberts. “This is not only about Carmel Valley, but that the bypassing of citizens’ input can happen anywhere in the city,” Ross said. “People are terrified that what has happened to [citizens’ voices] can happen all over the city.” — Suzanne Evans contributed to this report.
about the benefits and risks of immunizations as well as the risks of vaccine-preventable diseases. “That was a step in the right direction,” said a school nurse at the board meeting. “This (proposed bill) gives parents the power to protect their children even more.” Although board vice president Debra Schade was absent from the meeting, she was also on record in support of the bill. Schade holds a doctorate in public health education and promotion. “As a public health advocate, I strongly support this measure,” said Schade in a letter, which Superintendent Nancy Lynch read before the board. “Immunizations are an important public health program that have proven to be the most effective mechanism to protect our kids from morbidity and mortality that result from disease with high rates of transmission. “The recent outbreak of measles at Disneyland in California demonstrates the necessity to question our current policy. With the exception of medically fragile children who cannot be immunized, this resolution will require all students to provide proof of immunization prior to enrollment.”

didn’t have people with disabilities on TV,” she said. CAF changed Reinertsen’s life when she got her running leg. “And also getting access to the knowledge of how to become an athlete was huge for me. After my surgery, the hospital taught me how to walk, but it didn’t teach me how to run or how to be active.” Reinertsen, involved with CAF for more than 20 years, served as a role model for Breezy. “I saw a video of Sarah when she was finishing the Kona Ironman,” she recalled. “I didn’t know who she was, and I didn’t know about CAF, but it inspired me to get an amputation because I love to run, I love to be active and I knew it would still be possible.” The two met just a month after Breezy’s amputation in 2013. Through CAF she received her running leg, and within two weeks she had decided to enter her first triathlon, the Wildflower event in Paso Robles. “I had no idea what I was getting myself into,” joked Breezy. Now, through CAF, she also mentors other young girls in similar situations. “The CAF has been here for so many people,” said Reinertsen, now training for the Rio de Janeiro Paralympic Games. “It lifts them up after tragedy or when facing physical disability.” Reinertsen met Williams in 1998 and raced with him for 10 years. She spoke fondly of him. “Everyone knows Robin as a character on the screen, but we got to know him as a person. He was no different from us — he loved sport, and I think that sport was healing for him,” she said. “He brought laughter and joy to the world, but he used sport as a vehicle too, to lift people up. He really did give a lot to this community.” Visit www.challengedathletes.org to find out more or to make a donation.

On her way to UCLA, Del Mar volleyball star rises above tribulations BY ROB LEDONNE For about a year, Del Mar resident and volleyball star Ryann Chandler thought she’d never play the sport again. “I absolutely did not think it would happen,� she recalled on a recent Tuesday afternoon. “I had a very negative attitude towards volleyball for a long time. I didn’t want anything to do with it.� It’s no wonder that Chandler felt this way. After a stint as a star player for Torrey Pines High School’s volleyball team, she headed off to Malibu’s Pepperdine University in fall 2013, where she continued to play. That is, until, a match at Pepperdine where she hit her head. “I felt weird afterwards, but didn’t think anything of it,� she remembered. “It wasn’t until I played a few more games when my head started killing me and I began to feel nauseous. My roommate suggested I see a doctor.� Chandler soon found out that she had originally suffered a minor concussion that had since ballooned into a major one. She immediately stopped playing. What followed was eight months of pounding head-
aches. “I decided to leave Pepperdine at that point,� she explained of the tough decision. “I loved the girls and coaches, but for me, I needed to refocus on myself and get healthy, both mentally and physically.� The effects of Chandler’s headaches were largely because she hadn’t sought help sooner. “If I didn’t play on it for so long, I would have been fine,� she said, looking back. “It’s kind of crazy that it became something that later impacted my life. When I came back to Del Mar, I wanted to take the entirety of 2014 off, just to go to chiropractors and change my diet.� Still, Chandler’s scare shook any interest she previously had in playing volleyball, an interest she had to learn to regain. “A lot of coaches were telling me I should consider playing again, since I was so talented,� said Chandler, who hit her stride during her time at Torrey Pines as a setter. “My senior year at Torrey, I felt like I got to run the team. We also had so many amazing players that it was almost unheard-of. We had a great season and were ranked No. 1 in the
Ryann Chandler
country.� While she was working at Del Mar’s Wave Volleyball Club this past November, a former coach continued to encourage her to get back into it. “I finally decided I wanted to play again, and it was a huge deal,� Chandler said. “It wasn’t from someone else saying I should play. I made the decision for myself.� Perhaps it’s no surprise that Chandler wanted to stretch her athletic muscles once more. After all, her father, Chris, was a former star player for the NFL who played for the St. Louis Rams and Atlanta Falcons for the better part of two decades. In addition, her uncle was a trainer for famed tennis star
Andy Roddick, and her grandfather, John Brodie, played for the San Francisco 49ers and followed that up by joining the PGA Tour. “I think I got my competitive spirit and athleticism from my dad,� Chandler noted of her sporty lineage. “It’s funny, because my mother has always said she didn’t think in a million years I’d be athletic, because during youth soccer games all I’d do is sit down, pick grass, and do cartwheels.� Chandler can still do all the cartwheels when she gets to UCLA, but they’ll have to be in the middle of volleyball matches. “I feel like I’m the best shape I’ve ever been in,� Chandler said. “I’m a little nervous to get back into super-high-level volleyball, but I’m up for the challenge.�

Now it’s Dame Commander Zandra Rhodes: Solana Beach man leads effort to DM designer honored by British Empire create new pro football league BY DIANE Y. WELCH Del Mar resident Zandra Rhodes — haute couture British fashion designer — was made a Dame Commander of the British Empire on March 13 at a formal ceremony at Buckingham Palace, London. The investiture was conducted by Princess Anne. The centuries-old tradition was held in the palace ballroom, where Beefeater guards knocked their staffs on the floor to signal that the Princess — in formal naval attire — had entered the room, and the ceremony began. Rhodes was allowed to bring three guests to the ceremony: her sister, Beverly Hayden; fashion designer David Sassoon, who made more than 70 dresses for the late Princess Diana; and Joan Quinn, her best friend from California. “We were led into the throne room with its magnificent crystal chandeliers and red brocade banquettes bordering the walls and the two throne chairs,” Quinn recalled. “The royal band played throughout, and we had a great first-row view of Dame Zandra as she curtsied on acceptance of her award, backed away from the throne and walked into the anteroom.” The award recognizes Rhodes’ contributions to the fashion industry and specifically for founding Britain’s Fashion and Textile Museum in London in 2003; for her role as chancellor of the University for the Creative Arts, which has campuses in Kent and Surrey, UK; as well as for her charity work. “Zandra has been a vocal ambassador throughout the world as she demonstrates the positive aspects of the UK through her design work, speeches, workshops in colleges, and lectures to fashion schools, all of which reflect well on the nation,” Quinn said. Rhodes was the only dame honored that day; the
Del Mar designer Zandra Rhodes — now a Dame Commander of the British Empire — shows off her medal. Photo by Joan Quinn other honorees received OBEs, MBEs and knighthoods, she said. And she was the first in line. “I assumed they would be first, but it was me alone,” Rhodes said. “But it was delightful.” There was pomp and ceremony, and strict protocol about how to approach the dais and where to stand, as she received her two medals. Princess Anne congratulated Rhodes on her accomplishments and they chatted briefly. Then she shook Rhodes’ hand, which was the signal to retreat. “I was so impressed with her because she did 90 awards, and she didn’t look at any notes,” Rhodes commented. “As she spoke to everyone individually, she must have studied and rehearsed each one ahead of time.” Afterward, Rhodes was met in the palace courtyard by press photographers, with her portrait — in her boldly patterned blue suit and matching hat — being published world-wide by Reuters.
A reception followed at the Fashion and Textile Museum, with several British celebrities invited. Actress Jenny Agutter, former ballet dancer Wayne Sleep and actor Christopher Biggins were among them. Thirty guests stayed for a sit-down dinner in the museum penthouse. Rhodes cooked up soup, poached salmon and her famed bread and butter pudding. This is not the first royal award for Rhodes. In 1997, she was made a Commander of the British Empire for her contributions to fashion and textiles. She has nine honorary doctorates from Universities in both the UK and United States, and has designed clothes for many celebrities over the years. Past clients include Princess Diana, HRH Princess Michael of Kent, Jackie Onassis, Elizabeth Taylor, and Freddie Mercury of the rock group Queen. More recent clients have been Kylie Minogue, Sarah Jessica Parker and Paris Hilton. Rhodes has also received acclaim for her operatic costume and set designs. She contributes to many charities, including the UK’s Duke of Edinburgh Trust and the Prince Charles Trust; is the breast cancer ambassador for London’s mayor, Boris Johnson; and in the U.S., has helped raise $40 million for the Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center. At age 74, Rhodes continues to keep busy. Her latest projects include a largescale design for the new terminal in Mumbai Airport in India. The whirlwind royal affair in London and the reception — which in Rhodes’ signature, down-to-earth way, found her cleaning dishes at midnight — was exhausting, she said. “But anything worthwhile is exhausting,” she added.

BY JOE TASH Jim Bailey sees a “football void” in America, and he aims to fill it. The Solana Beach resident is president and CEO of the United States Football League, a fledgling effort that organizers hope will eventually bring long bombs, grinding runs and smashing hits to footballstarved fans during the spring doldrums. “From the Super Bowl to the beginning of the next season, there’s just no football,” said Bailey, a former executive with the NFL’s Cleveland Browns and Baltimore Ravens. For now, the USFL exists solely in the minds of Bailey and his partners, as well as its website, www. theusfl.com. But he and his partners are working hard to raise money for an eventual launch of what is envisioned as an eight-team league that will play its 14game schedule during spring and early summer. Core partners in the venture are Bailey, local attorney Bill Miltner, finance expert Paul Byrne, and Fred Biletnikoff Jr., son of NFL Hall of Fame wide receiver Fred Biletnikoff Sr., said Bailey. All four have invested their own money in the start-up, he said. The business model that Bailey and his partners are creating calls for all eight teams in the USFL to be owned by the league itself, rather than by individual owners. An earlier version of the USFL, which has no connection to the new league, operated for three seasons in the 1980s. USFL teams will be located in cities that have no NFL or Major League baseball franchise, said Bailey. He declined to specify which cities are under consideration, but said a Southern California team is un-

Jim Bailey is raising money for the eventual launch of the eight-team United States Football League. likely due to the existence of other pro teams in the region. The players will come from the ranks of athletes who aspire to play in the NFL, but haven’t yet landed with a team, said Bailey. NFL teams each bring about 90 players to training camp and keep about 65, said Bailey. That leaves several hundred players who were good enough to be called to camp, but didn’t make the team. That pool of players will form the basis of the USFL, he said. Bailey envisions the USFL as a developmental league for the NFL, similar to professional baseball’s farm system. Players will be able to hone their skills, mature and learn how professional systems operate. “This will give them a chance to get better and showcase their abilities in a competitive environment and be seen by the NFL,” he said. Players will be free to sign with the NFL at any time. Players will probably earn about $2,500 per game, plus bonuses, which he said will be enough to live on, but far less than the millions paid to NFL stars. The new USFL won’t have any connection with the NFL, but the league is aware of the USFL, and NFL officials have said such a developmental league is needed, Bailey said. Bailey and his partners envision their teams playing in smaller venues, with lower ticket prices, than their NFL counterparts. For now, the USFL is focused on raising $5 million, which will cover the legal and marketing costs for a “private placement,” which is a form of investment that will bring in the bulk of the money needed to launch and sustain the league, Bailey said. “We won’t make money for three or four years, and we need to be able to weather that and not have to make bad deals to survive,” he said. For 21 years, Bailey served as executive vice president See LEAGUE, page B22

Chef Celebration to kick off annual dinners at SB’s Pamplemousse Grille
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KRISTINA HOUCK To fund scholarships for aspiring chefs, dozens of award-winning chefs from around the county will come together March 31 through May 3 for the Chef Celebration’s annual Dinner Series. Once again, the series will kick off March 31 at Pamplemousse Grille in Solana Beach with a five-course menu from chefs Jeffrey Strauss of Pamplemousse Grille, Bernard Guillas of The Marine Room, Tommy DiMella of Del Mar Country Club, Stephane Voitzwinkler of Bertrand at Mister A’s, and Jeff Jackson of A.R. Valentien at The Lodge at Torrey Pines. “Some of San Diego’s finest chefs are coming to the restaurant,” said Strauss, executive chef and owner of Pamplemousse Grille. “I can’t imagine a better team being put together.” Founded in 1995 by a small group of local chefs, Chef Celebration strives to enhance the knowledge and potential of aspiring young culinarians. Through a series of annual events, including the dinner series, the nonprofit has raised more than $225,000 in culinary scholarships for more than 80 people. “It’s important that as a culinary community we continue to strengthen San Diego’s reputation for fantastic cuisine, and one of the best ways we can do this is to cultivate and support our successors,” said Jim Phillips, president of Chef Celebration. With his time and his talents, Strauss has supported the organization since he opened Pamplemousse Grille in 1996. From President George W. Bush and Prince Charles, to Tom Hanks and Steven Spielberg, Strauss has created dishes for a number of world leaders and world-renowned entertainers. Before opening his first restaurant, Pamplemousse Grille, he worked as an executive sous chef and executive chef at Glorious Food, a New York City catering company, for more than 15 years. Born in New York and raised in New Jersey, Strauss was among nine of 800 applicants to receive a culinary apprenticeship at the Greenbrier Hotel in West Virginia, where he earned the Gold Medal for Culinary Showmanship. “A long, long, long time ago, I was one of those young chefs,” Strauss said. “I’ve always had help. Now, I’m excited to help.” More than 50 local chefs, including Strauss, are participating in the 20th annual dinner series to benefit the organization’s culinary scholarship program, which sends lower and mid-level cooks on an all-expense paid, intensive weeklong training course at The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone in Napa. Last year, the organization sent a dozen young cooks to the program. Beginning March 31 at Pamplemousse Grille, the annual dinner series continues on Tuesdays throughout April at Terra American Bistro in San Diego, Tom Ham’s Lighthouse at Harbor Island, La Valencia Hotel in La Jolla, and Tidal at Paradise Point Resort and Spa in San Diego. The April 7 event at Terra American Bistro will feature Carmel Valley’s “Sam the Cooking Guy” (Sam Zien) as well as local chefs Matt Gordon of Sea and Smoke and Hanis Cavin of Carnitas’ Snack Shack. The series culminates Sunday, May 3, with Chef Celebration’s annual Beer Master Pair-

It’s a great deal and a great cause.” Reservations for the five-course dinner at Pamplemousse Grille are available from 5-8:30 p.m. Tickets cost $85 per person. Pamplemousse Grille is at 514 Via de la Valle in Solana Beach. For information or to buy tickets, call 858-792-9090 or visit www.pgrille.com.

‘Into the Woods’ production to feature CV actors California Youth Conservatory Theatre is in rehearsal for a spring production of Stephen Sondheim’s “Into the Woods.” Producer/Director Shaun T.

The Lofts at North Cedros to host block party March 27 BY KRISTINA HOUCK Just outside of the Cedros Design District, other creative minds have come together at The Lofts at North Cedros. To celebrate the creative space, the businesses are hosting a Spring Block Party on March 27. “We love being off the beaten path, feeling kind of like hidden gems, but we also want people to know that creative business is booming just a block up the street,” said Alexa Stefankiewicz, digital media coordinator at Rebecca Norman Studio, a jewelry and handbag boutique. Although Rebecca Norman Studio is one of the newest shops to open at The Lofts, Rebecca Norman started her business in the building in 2000. After seven years, she moved her production studio to Carlsbad and opened a boutique on Cedros Avenue. In July 2014, Norman brought both sides of the businesses together when she returned to The Lofts at North Cedros. “We make everything here and have a small studio downstairs,” said Norman, a Leucadia resident who is heading the block party. “I love Solana Beach, and this space is so nice.” Located on East Cliff Street, the building used to be an industrial warehouse. With the local creative scene consistently
growing, however, the building has become Solana Beach’s newest creative space. Now rebranded, The Lofts at North Cedros houses 16 businesses about a half-mile from the Cedros Design District. From a day spa to a photography studio, the building today is filled with artisans, craftsmen and designers. “Every shop has something great to offer that can’t be found anywhere else,” Stefankiewicz said. “We’re using this party to network professionally, grow our client bases, enhance support for local businesses, and provide clients and shoppers with unique and personal experiences.” The block party will feature food, drinks, demonstrations and sample sales. DJ Savvy Dane and Big Boss Bubeleh will perform live music. Open to the public, the free event will take place from 3-8 p.m. at The Lofts at North Cedros, 120 E. Cliff St. “This building is right in the middle of a neighborhood,” Norman said. “Sometimes I think people in the neighborhood have no idea how many really cool businesses are here. We’re just hoping that folks in the neighborhood will take the time to come and see us.” For more about Rebecca Norman Studio, visit rebeccanorman.com.

Chef’s new wave of dishes rolling in to Pacifica Del Mar BY KELLEY CARLSON Executive Chef Chris Powell has rolled out a wave of new dishes at Pacifica Del Mar. It was a gradual move by Powell, who joined the restaurant on Nov. 1. He began introducing items in December, but most of the changes came in late January and February. Powell overhauled the entire breakfast menu at Pacifica’s “sister” restaurant, Breeze Café, which is just down the stairs; he also revamped three-fourths of Pacifica’s breakfast menu, a third of its lunch menu and half of the dinner menu. “It’s simpler food done really well,” said Powell, who has more than 20 years of experience cooking for well-known area restaurants such as Whisknladle, Bali Hai, Roy’s and La Jolla’s Grande Colonial Hotel. “I wanted to expand the palate,” he added, and “there’s so much opportunity with the local produce” that’s available. Among the small plates that he recently debuted are meaty pieces of Charred Octopus dressed with Meyer lemon, Marcona almond slivers, frisee, lemon oil and balsamic; Ahi Crudo, decorated with sweet Sumo citrus slices and cipollini onions, watercress, and garlic fennel seed oil that adds a hint of licorice flavor; and the Sizzling Shrimp, featuring a bowl of jumbo head-on shrimps sautéed in garlic and butter (scampi-style), served in a Calabrian chile pepper sauce that has a touch of spiciness. There’s also the Fuji Apple Salad made with Suzie’s Farm organic butter lettuce, bacon, blue cheese and honey mustard vinaigrette; Ahi Tuna Poke; and Steamed Black Mussels. Another Powell specialty is the Market Fish, which rotates depending on the season. During a recent evening, the featured catch was yellowtail, a tender and flaky piece enhanced by oven-roasted butternut squash puree, pea tendrils, cherry tomato halves, pieces of Dungeness crab, and a zesty yuzu kosho vinaigrette. Halibut will be offered soon, Powell said. Among the latest of the large plates to be introduced are the Short Rib and the Lobster Bucatini “Carbonara,” a flavorful pile of thick spaghetti mixed with bacon, Parmesan fonduta, peas, egg yolk and black truffle, topped with a large piece of sweet lobster. Finally, Powell and new chef Will Von Pertz (previously of Whisknladle) have unveiled several decadent desserts: Sweet D’s Glazed Chocolate Cake, composed of devil’s food cake surrounded by a “mirror” glaze, garnished with a dollop of silky peanut butter mousse and sprinkled with brown butter Maldon roasted peanuts; Whipped NY Cheesecake Tart; the Ice Cream Sandwich, featuring cookies-and-cream gelato packed between two large chocolate chip cookies, with fudge sauce; and the Butterscotch Budino. Despite all the menu changes, Powell noted certain items that are “untouchable” for now — signature dishes that include the Sugar-Spiced Salmon, Mustard Catfish, Local Seabass and Seared “Rare” Ahi. Meanwhile, there are specials nearly every day at Pacifica. Happy hour is celebrated from 4 to 6:30 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday, and all night Sunday and Monday. Guests re-

ceive half off small bites, and $2 off beers, featured cocktails, wines by the glass and other select appetizers. Among the libations to consider: the sunset-colored Pineapple-Chipotle Margarita, served in a glass rimmed with chile sea salt and garnished with lime. The first sips are sweet and smoky, but wait a moment, and the heat will kick in. The restaurant also has several “themed” events each week: Taco Tuesdays, when patrons can order two tacos and a Corona for $9; Martini & Oyster Night on Wednesdays; and 50 percent off bottles of wine on Thursdays. In addition, two-course Sunset Suppers are offered from 5 to 6 p.m. daily, for $23.75 per person; and brunch on weekends. “(Here) it’s really about friends and family coming together and enjoying the experience,” Powell said. Pacifica Del Mar is at 1555 Camino del Mar in Del Mar. Lunch is served from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday; dinner is from 5 p.m. to close daily. Call 858-792-0476 or go to www.pacificadelmar.com.

There is a focus on core strength in every session, Joe Virga said, and the kids can apply their newly learned techniques in any sport they desire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our program is unique in that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s for really young athletes,â&#x20AC;? Virga said. Most students are between ages of 7 and 18, and a maximum of 10 are enrolled per class, which allows for more personalized attention. Virga, who is a trainer and co-owner of CKO Kickboxing â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which is just down the street from Parisi, on Miramar Road in San Diego â&#x20AC;&#x201D; first became inspired to work with children after a conversation with his friend Joe Defranco, one of the top strength coaches in the country. Defranco talked about his experiences training youths in various sports, and how it was rewarding to have such a big impact on their lives. At the time, Virga was also seeking to enhance his knowledge in the areas of strength and conditioning, with a goal of helping clients achieve their maximum potential. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was like a light went on,â&#x20AC;? Virga said. He proceeded to earn his strength and training certification in November 2013, and offered to work with his friend Adrianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 7-year-old son, Austin. Virga began training Austin at CKO Kickboxing, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;within weeks, the dad saw a noticeable difference
in his son,â&#x20AC;? he said. Austinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s friends started taking notice as well, and a group of them started coming to the gym. In March 2014, Virga received an email that Parisi Speed School representatives were doing a presentation in San Diego. The school is the brainchild of Bill Parisi, a two-time NCAA Division I All-American in the javelin throw in the late 1980s, who also qualified for the Olympic trials. In 1992, Parisi bought a $500 van and began driving to high school and youth recreation departments in his home base of New Jersey to give free clinics and seminars on speed training and motivation. He opened his first facility in 1993, and over the years worked with clients such as former NFL players Phil Simms, Amani Toomer and Chris Calloway. Parisi began to sell his Speed School franchises in 2005 and, today, there are more than 85 locations in about 30 states. Recently, Parisi Speed School was named No. 1 Gym in America by The Active Times. Virga was intrigued by the idea of owning a Parisi Speed School franchise. But â&#x20AC;&#x153;my wife thought I was crazy and was convinced I was losing my mind,â&#x20AC;? he said with a laugh. When Joe and Trisha attended the presentation, â&#x20AC;&#x153;we were both just floored,â&#x20AC;? Joe Virga said. They loved the idea that not only does the school help kids get faster and stronger, but also builds their confidence, he added. Last April, the Virgas signed up to open the first San Diego franchise, and they found the perfect location at 7060 Miramar Road, Suite 208. The 5,000-square-foot facility opened in the fall, with features such as a three-lane, 25-yard track; a large artificial

Small class sizes help instructors personalize instruction and give tips and tools on how to improve skills like acceleration, properly changing directions and overall conditioning. Courtesy photo turf area; and a strength-training area. When the youths first arrive at the Speed School, they undergo a performance evaluation, which measures their speed, strength, agility, endurance and flexibility. Virga then assesses the results and makes class recommendations. Five types of classes are offered â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the areas of strength training, changing directions, speed and overall conditioning â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and they are broken down by age groups. Jump Start is for ages 7-11, while those 12 and older are enrolled in Total Performance classes. With the small class sizes, instructors are able to personalize instruction and give the athletes tips and tools to improve their abilities. To help motivate the kids, there is the Cat Club, a scoring, evaluation and testing program that ranks and charts their progress every 8-12 weeks. The Cat Club has eight levels, starting at Bobcat and ascending to Cheetah, and the youths can check boards for their results. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When they see what they can achieve, it sends their confidence to the moon,â&#x20AC;? Virga said.
The cost for Parisi Speed School participants is $109 a month for unlimited training sessions. Initial performance evaluations are offered free through June 30; otherwise, the fee is $49. Besides working with individuals on their performance, Parisi Speed School also provides team training on- and off-site. In addition, parents and other interested adults can take advantage of Trishaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bootcamp, a six-week course consisting of fitness classes, group training and nutrition coaching, with a specialized focus on TRX Suspension Training. Classes are at 6:15 a.m. Monday and Friday and 8:45 a.m. Tuesday; the private group session is around 8 a.m. Saturday. The cost is $299. Parisi Speed School hours are from 3:30 to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 3:30 to 7 p.m. Friday, and 8 a.m. to noon Saturday.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
Encinitas jeweler polishes another facet of career with gold business After working nearly 70 years in the jewelry business, William T. Flora is starting a new venture. At 87, the Encinitas resident is now buying, selling and trading gold. “I’m the person to go to because of my years of experience in the jewelry industry,” Flora said. Born in Decatur, Ill., in 1928, Flora grew up in the jewelry business. In 1921, his parents, Walter T. and Rosamond Flora, fled a West Frankfort labor riot and Ku Klux Klan lynch mob to purchase Frank Curtis Jewelry Store and Optical Co. in Decatur. The couple had previously operated a jewelry store in West Frankfort. At 14, Flora began buying jewelry for his father. Four years later, he and his older brother, Walter Flora Jr., took over the business in 1946, and changed the name to Walter Flora and Sons Jewelers. “I was raised in it,” Flora said. “From the time I was 11, I stood by my father’s side, and I listened to him sell to customers. That’s how I learned the business.” A decade after purchasing the shop, Flora took the reins completely when his brother opted to concentrate on his optometrist business full time. Looking back, Flora said he most enjoyed designing and creating pieces for his customers. “I enjoyed the fact that it was a very high-quality business,” he said. One of his favorite memories was when he took two of his customers, a Decatur couple, to Harry Winston in New York in search of the perfect ruby. At that time, in 1956, Harry Winston owned the Hope Diamond, which Flora got to hold and place around his customer’s neck. Two years later, Harry Winston donated the Hope Diamond to the Smithsonian Institution after owning it for a decade. In 2011, the diamond was valued between $200 million to $250 million. “I handled it,” Flora recalled. “I didn’t realize I was holding history.” In 1981, Flora’s son, Ware Flora, and his wife, Becky, became the owners of Flora Gems, which opened its doors as Frank Curtis Jewelry Store and Optical Co. in 1856. With more than 150 years in business, today the store is owned by Flora’s grandson, John Flora, the fourth generation of the
William T. Flora Flora family. He took over the business in 2000. Although Flora fondly remembers his time at Flora Gems, in recent decades he has opened and closed three jewelry stores throughout San Diego County, in Hillcrest, Rancho Santa Fe and Fairbanks Ranch. About eight years ago, he shifted his focus to try his hand at collecting dental scraps. His latest venture is privately buying, selling and trading gold. He’s willing to meet clients at their homes or wherever is convenient. “It’s a service people will appreciate,” he said. For information, call 858-444-6527 or email Bill.

Trader Joe’s grand opening March 27 in PHR Village The new Trader Joe’s in the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch is set to open at 8 a.m. Friday, March 27. Trader Joe’s “Captain” (store manager) Scott Walsh, Regional Vice President Laurie Kuchinsky and the Trader Joe’s crew will gather first thing in the morning for a ceremonial “lei-cutting” The opening-day celebration for the new to welcome new customers — Trader Trader Joe’s will include food demonstrations Joe’s style. and giveaways of reusable grocery bags. The celebration will continue all day with food demonstrations, reusable bag giveaways, and more. The store is at 13480 Highlands Place, on the corner of Carmel Valley Road and Village Center Loop Drive, across from Canyon Crest Academy. The store will be open from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily and will offer beer, wine, and spirits in addition to groceries. It will feature festive décor, mixing Trader Joe’s traditional cedar-covered walls and Hawaiian-inspired elements with local flair, including art that celebrates the neighborhood. Throughout the store, several colorful hand-painted murals pay tribute to the Del Mar Racetrack, Torrey Pines State Beach, the Black Mountain hot air balloons, and more. Trader Joe’s in Pacific Highlands Ranch has tapped Walsh as its captain. He comes to the new store from the Oceanside Trader Joe’s and has been with the company for 33 years. The “Trader” in Trader Joe’s refers to the way the company blazed a trail through the grocery industry, searching the world for great values and distinctive products. Store employees, dubbed “Crew Members,” consider themselves “traders on the culinary seas.” Some crew members sport brightly colored Hawaiian-themed shirts, adding to the friendly, lighthearted air of the store. Many area residents can expect to receive a copy of the Trader Joe’s “Fearless Flyer” in their mailboxes after the store opens. The Fearless Flyer is a somewhat irreverent description of Trader Joe’s products. Trader Joe’s carries an extensive array of domestic and imported foods and beverages, including artisan breads, Arabica bean coffees, international frozen entrées, 100 percent juices, fresh crop nuts, deli items, vitamins and more. Stores also offer customers the basics, like milk and eggs, at competitive prices. Trader Joe’s doesn’t have “sales” for a few days, only to hike the prices again. Trader Joe’s says its prices change only when costs change — there are no fancy promotions, discount cards or couponing wars.

Free legal planning workshop March 26 for parents It may sound incredible, but 69 percent of parents don’t have a will — and those who do still risk their children being taken from their home, at least temporarily, if they are injured or die. Think about it. If children are at home with a babysitter or at school, and the parents are in an accident and can’t communicate, the police have no choice but to call in Child Protective Services until they figure out what to do. That can mean temporary foster care. When lawyer Kristina Hess, a mother of three, discovered that her kids would be taken into the foster care system if she were injured or died — even though she had a will — she realized that traditional “estate planning” does not adequately protect young children. So Hess is offering parents a free workshop, “7 Easy Steps You MUST Take to Protect Your Minor Children in Today’s Crazy World.” The workshop will be held from 5:30-7 p.m. Thursday, March 26, at Pump It Up, the inflatable party zone in Sorrento Valley. The kids can enjoy food and play time with Pump It Up staff while the parents learn how to provide for and protect their families. Register to 858-207-4884, or visit www. KRHess.com/events.

Foods that Help Prevent Varicose Vein While it’s true that varicose and spider veins can be hereditary, they are also largely the result of our lifestyle. In either case, however, there are things we can do to help promote our vascular health and thereby reduce the risk of varicose veins from occurring. I addressed one of these preventative issues a couple months ago when I discussed how exercise can work to prevent varicose veins. But there are also certain foods we can incorporate into our diet that contain particular ingredients
that have been known to combat varicose and spider veins. Blueberries While the term “super food” may get thrown around too often, blueberries might truly be just that. These berries have been shown to be one of the healthiest foods we can eat. The list of their benefits is extensive, and one of the advantages is that they can help prevent varicose veins. Blueberries help neutralize enzymes that break down our connective tissue. They also contribute to the overall health of our vascular system by repairing damaged proteins in the blood vessel walls. Ginger Ginger has long been a food known for its healing qualities and is often used to treat varicose veins and promote circulation. Fibrin is a protein that causes veins to become lumpy and hard, therefore a person that has difficulty breaking down fibrin may develop varicose veins. Ginger, however, has been shown to
break down fibrin in the blood vessels. If you add ginger to your diet, it is recommended that you use fresh ginger, as it is most effective. Avocado Avocados have multiple compounds that help fight varicose veins. First off, they are rich in both vitamin C and E, which are two important vitamins for vascular health. Additionally, avocados contain glutathoine, which is a molecule that protects veins and arteries from oxidant damage. Beets Beets contain a compound called betacyanin which has been known to greatly reduce natural amino acids that can damage blood vessels. Additionally, the leaves atop the beets are also highly nutritious, so don’t throw them out. You can use them as a substitute for spinach in almost any meal. Asparagus Asparagus can help to strengthen veins and capillaries, and the stronger your veins are, the
less likely they are to burst or rupture. Other Foods: foods rich in fiber, foods rich in vitamin C, many fruits (especially cherries, apples, apricots, and pineapple), watercress, rosemary, lentils, buckwheat, and be sure that you are drinking plenty of water. We should always be aware of our diet and what we are putting into our bodies so that we can live as healthy a lifestyle as possible. But if you find yourself more at risk for varicose veins, be sure to integrate these foods into your diet. If you want to further discuss your vascular health or make an appointment with one of our experienced doctors, please don’t hesitate to contact us at 760-944-9263 or visit us at www.sdveininstitute.com.

‘Aladdin Jr.’ at North Coast Rep to raise money for Malala Fund The cast of the Theatre School@North Coast Rep is honoring the message of “Aladdin Jr.” by raising money for the Malala Fund, the charity led by Nobel Peace Prize winner Malala Yousafzai that helps girls in the Middle East get an education. “The two central themes of the show are freedom and being yourself,” said Siobhan Sullivan Crews, the show’s director, and the director of education and outreach for the Theatre School. “Both are struggles for girls around the world, but no place more than the Middle East. Girls are denied education and forced into marriages. ‘Aladdin Jr.’ begins with Princess Jasmine being forced to choose a husband because of tradition. “Malala’s story is inspirational. The fact that she survived the horrendous act of being shot for speaking up for her beliefs and is now using her voice to promote education for girls around the world is courageous. She is a role model for our young actors and we are excited to share her story with them.” The actors are selling handmade bracelets for $5 each at their shows, and hope to raise at least $500 overall. Students aged 5 to 17 will perform the musical the first weekend in April. Based on the 1992 Disney movie, “Aladdin Jr.” features music by Alan Menken and lyrics by Howard Ashman and Tim Rice. The plot follows the love story of Jasmine and Aladdin as they deal with magic, mayhem, and zany characters. The production also marks a return for two former students, this time in leadership roles. Megan Goyette is the assistant director/choreographer and Ben Read is the musical director. “Aladdin Jr.” runs April 2-5. Performances are 5 p.m. April 2 and 4; 12:30 p.m. and 7 p.m. April 3; 2 p.m. April 4 and 3 p.m. April 5. North Coast Repertory Theater is at 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Suite D, Solana Beach. Tickets are $16 adults and $12 for children 17 and under. Call 858-481-1055 or visit www.northcoastrep.org.

100 - LEGAL NOTICES CITY OF DEL MAR NOTICE OF INTENT TO ADOPT A MITIGATED NEGATIVE DECLARATION NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the City of Del Mar (City) has prepared a Mitigated Negative Declaration for the project described below in accordance with the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), State CEQA Guidelines and local implementation procedures. Project Name: River Path Del Mar Extension Project (EA15-001) Project Location: Within the City of Del Mar— located along the east side of San Dieguito Drive between Jimmy Durante Boulevard and the Old Grand Avenue Bridge Zoning/ Land Use: Floodway (FW), North Commercial (NC), and Lagoon Overlay Zone (L-OZ) Lead Agency: City of Del Mar Staff Contact: Joseph Smith, AICP, Associate Planner, Phone: (858) 755-9313, Email: jsmith@delmar.ca.us. Project Setting and Description: The project is located in the northern part of the City of Del Mar, immediately south of the Del Mar Race Track and Thoroughbred Club and about 0.5 mile inland from the Pacific Ocean. The proposed project area is about 0.25 mile in length. The project area is located along the east side of San Dieguito Drive between Jimmy Durante Boulevard and the Old Grand Avenue Bridge and would affect 15 parcels identified as: 1) APN 299-100-33 (North County Transit District); 2) APN 299-100-34 (McHugh Trust); 3) APN 299-071-05 (San Dieguito River Park JPA); 4) APN 299-100-35 (Scarab Corp); 5) APN 299-100-36
(Southern California Edison); 6) APN 299-100-37 (City of Del Mar); 7) APN 299-100-38 (City of Del Mar); 8) APN 299-100-39 (City of Del Mar); 9) APN 299-072-25 (City of Del Mar); 10) APN 299-072-53 (San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy); 11) APN 299-072-54 (San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy); 12) APN 299072-22 (City of Del Mar); 13) APN 299-072-55 (Armstrong-McHugh Corp); 14) APN 299-072-56 (San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy); and 15) APN 299-072-57 (San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy). Regional access to the project area is generally provided by Interstate 5 (I-5), and local access is provided from Jimmy Durante Boulevard and San Dieguito Drive. The project area is situated adjacent to the main San Dieguito River channel beside a lagoon plain that stretches east of the project area. The project is bordered on the southwest by San Dieguito Drive. Southwest of this road, the landscape consists of vegetation-covered hillside mixed with single-family properties developed on terraced lots. Paved surfaces and buildings are limited to the western portion of the project area. Throughout the project area, several informal and unimproved pedestrian pathways and viewpoints exist, including routes adjacent to the river and lagoon. Much of the project area is occupied by areas of vegetation historically subjected to disturbances such as flooding and periodic human use. Vegetation on the project site consists of nonnative ice plant and disturbed habitat, eucalyptus woodland, ornamental, Diegan coastal sage scrub and brackish marsh habitat. Soils in the area are generally
March 19, 2015
sandy, silty, alluvial, and lagoonal deposit. The alluvium is underlain at substantial depth by Quarternary and Tertiary sedimentary bedrock. The project area varies slightly in elevation, from approximately 0–15 feet above sea level. The proposed project involves the eastern extension of the existing River Path Del Mar trail that currently provides pedestrian access near the mouth of the San Dieguito River with the intersection at Jimmy Durante Boulevard and San Dieguito Drive. The proposed project would formally extend River Path Del Mar east of Jimmy Durante Boulevard, across 15 parcels, and terminate at the Lagoon Viewpoint at the Old Grand Avenue Bridge. The proposed extension would improve a portion of the San Dieguito segment of the City’s Loop Trail – a seven-mile hiking trail envisioned in the City’s Community Plan that creates a loop around the City’s perimeter. In addition, the proposed extension implements a portion of a designated future pedestrian access way along the San Dieguito River/Lagoon as delineated in Figure IV-A of the City of Del Mar certified Local Coastal Program (LCP) Land Use Plan (LUP) . The proposed project includes two planned alignments allowing pedestrians the option of walking near the San Dieguito River and Lagoon (primary trail) or by way of an alignment along the east shoulder of San Dieguito Drive
(secondary trail). The proposed project includes three connections between the two alignments within the project area. The alignments would be mostly constructed with decomposed granite for a distance of 2,400 linear feet; however, portions of the secondary trail would include colored concrete and paved areas for a distance of 565 linear feet near the intersection of San Dieguito Drive and Jimmy Durante Boulevard. The proposed project would utilize existing topography to the maximum extent feasible for pathway construction. In addition to the alignments, the project includes two overlook areas with seating (benches) and two picnic areas located in areas near San Dieguito Drive and the Old Grand Avenue Bridge. Cable post fencing would be installed at limited locations along both trails in areas to provide public safety and to create a buffer from identified brackish marsh habitat. A locking cable with adjacent bollard posts is proposed at the central portion of the secondary trail to restrict unauthorized vehicle access from entering the northern portion of the project area (authorized access is currently limited to Southern California Edison personnel for purposes of revetment maintenance). The proposed project will include minor grading and debris removal on the east end of the project area and the establishment of
CROSSWORD
NORTH COAST 0.36 acres of Diegan coastal sage scrub in areas where existing disturbed habitat exists. No construction activities, including minor grading, debris removal, or vegetation re-establishment will occur in any identified open water or brackish marsh wetland areas. All work is proposed on upland areas. Temporary erosion control measures, such as sand bag barriers, fiber rolls, wood mulching, soil binders, geotextiles, plastic covers, erosion control blankets/ mats, silt fencing, native habitat re-vegetation, and construction personnel training are among the best management practices (BMPs) that will be implemented during and immediately following construction to ensure that special-status plants, brackish marsh habitat, Diegan coastal sage scrub, and water quality will not be adversely affected by the proposed project. Construction of the project is anticipated to take about 55 days, or nearly two months, and is anticipated to occur between October and December 2015. Construction activities would involve site preparation, minor grading and debris removal, limited re-vegetation of disturbed habitat areas, and pathway construction that would occur consecutively. Anticipated motorized construction equipment includes a rubber-tired dozer and a tractor. The proposed project would avoid any grading activities during the LCP-designated rainy season (November 15 to March 31) and conform to requirements for the protection of songbirds and raptors during the breeding season (January 1 to August 31). The project will require the following discretionary actions in order to implement the project: 1) Conditional Use Permit approved by the City of Del Mar Planning Commission; 2) City of Del Mar Design Review Board Permit; and 3) Consolidated Coastal Development Permit issued by the California Coastal Commission. Findings: Pursuant to the provisions of the CEQA (Public Resources Code, Section 21000 et seq.) and based on information contained in the completed Initial Study Checklist, the City of Del Mar has determined that the project, with mitigation incorporated, will not have a significant effect on the environment. Public Review: Printed copies of the Mitigated Negative Declaration and Initial Study are on file and available for public review at: 1) City of Del Mar, Community Planning and Community Development, 1050 Camino del Mar, Del Mar, CA 92014; and 2) City of Del Mar Public Library, 1309 Camino del Mar, Del Mar, CA 92014.

‘Day on the Islands’ with Del Mar Foundation, Young Del Mar The Del Mar Foundation and Young Del Mar Committee “traveled” to the tropics with Chamorro dancers and activities. Del Mar children and families were treated to a “day on the islands” of the western Pacific, including Guam and Saipan. They learned about the Chamorro Islands, their people and their place in U.S. history at the Del Mar Powerhouse through music, dance and interactive activities. Uno Hit performed traditional Chamorro music and dance at this free event. Nearly 100 visitors enjoyed displays and activities including a Sakman canoe model, coconut exhibit, and flower making, storytelling and dance presentations, as well as a booth offering merenda or “light snacks.” Who are the Chamorros? Chamorros are fellow Americans, native to the US territories of the western Pacific, including Guam and Saipan. San Diego has the largest community of Chamorros outside of the islands.

For a hair-raising experience, try feeding your follicles The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Dear Kitchen Shrink: At certain times of the year, particularly fall and spring, my hair seems to go into a holding pattern — it grows in slow motion, and thins out as well. Are there any foods that will help my hair grow healthier? — S. Sullivan Your hair is your crowning glory that needs a well-balanced and protein-rich diet to thrive. Brush up on these fabulous foods to help your tresses grow longer and stronger. Fat of the Land Essential fatty acids amp up the body’s optimal cellular functioning — including hair growth. Toss walnuts (a store of omega-3s, biotin and vitamin E), flax, pumpkin and sunflower seeds into everything from oatmeal and muffins to salads and stir-fries to
protect skin cells in the scalp and follicles from DNA damage. Buttery avocados make creamy spreads for sandwiches, add eye candy to seafood cocktails or pretty shells to stuff with chicken or quinoa salads. Wild-caught salmon (king of omega-3s, along with hairhealthy protein and vitamin D), can be poached, grilled, tossed in cioppinos or seafood chowders, or smoked and sliced thin to top bagels, frittatas or flatbreads. Don’t Get Stranded The collagen that coats hair strands weakens with age, making the hair susceptible to damage and breakage. Boost collagen production by increasing vitamin C-rich sources, including citrus fruits, red and yellow peppers, kiwis, dark leafy greens, broccoli, guavas, strawberries, and the purple powerhouse, blueberries. Crank Up Keratin Found in various foods, a sulfur-based compound called methylsulfonylmethane, MSM for short, ramps up keratin production, a protein in hair, while bolstering hair follicles. So green up with luscious leaves of chard, alfalfa, cabbage and watercress, in addition to asparagus and ruby beets. Cook’s tip: Raw vegetables contain greater amounts of MSM than cooked ones. Vitamin E prevents hair breakage and replenishes damaged locks by helping the body produce keratin to strengthen each strand. Good sources of Vitamin E can be found in almonds, sunflower seeds, apricots and olives. Pumping Iron This mighty mineral boosts red blood cell production carrying a rich oxygen supply to the bulbs of your hair follicles for healthy hair growth. For a boost of iron, serve up a warm wilted spinach salad, a silky bowl of chilled leek soup or a hearty one of piping hot lentil soup. Other iron sources include lamb ragu or a crunchy, munchy trail mix of raw cashews, raisins, dried figs and apricots. For better iron absorption, pair with vitamin C-rich sources. Beef and broccoli, anyone? (Grass-fed and organic, of course.) The mineral zinc prods sleepy hair follicles to grow by boosting the oil glands surrounding them. Shuck some fresh

oysters, sprinkle wheat germ or roasted pumpkin seeds on your salads, or indulge in a blissful bite of bittersweet dark chocolate with 60 percent or higher cocoa content. Boost your B’s and D’s Biotin (aka vitamin H of the B-complex family) is a multitasking vitamin for putting the skids on thinning hair by pumping up scalp circulation and invigorating hair follicles. Highest sources of biotin are peanuts (organic, please), almonds, walnuts, onions, oats and salmon.
Studies have also given kudos to vitamin D for its role in stimulating hair growth. So dial up your fatty-fish intake from trout and herring to sardines and eel, as well as from portobello mushrooms, fortified milk and eggs. Yam Bam, Thank You, Ma’am Beta-carotene blockbusters, such as yams or sweet potatoes, carrots, mangoes and cantaloupes, are converted to vitamin A by your body to nourish cells and produce vital oils for a healthy scalp. That’s Greek to Me Creamy, dreamy, high-protein Greek yogurt packed with pantothenic acid (vitamin B-5), and vitamin D are hair and follicles’ best friends. Blend into berry smoothies, quick bread or muffin batters, scoop a dollop on baked potatoes or enjoy solo with a drizzle of orange blossom honey.

with the Cleveland Browns, and then the Baltimore Ravens after the team’s move east. He primarily handled business and financial affairs for the club, including negotiating contracts with players. He left the league 15 years ago, and since then worked for a commercial development company and has consulted on sports stadium projects. The USFL hasn’t established a definite timeline for when the first kickoffs will take place. Although the league wants to hit the field as soon as possible, Bailey said, the launch won’t happen until all the pieces are in place. “We’re going to start when we’re ready to start,” he said. “You have to play good football and the teams need plenty of time to get ready.” He doesn’t doubt, however, that demand exists for his product. “There’s a tremendous appetite for football,” he said.
