One Paseo opponents seek 33,224 signatures to force referendum BY KAREN BILLING Opponents of One Paseo are gathering signatures for a petition to overturn the San Diego City Council’s 7-2 approval of the development project and force a referendum that would bring one of two results: a repeal of the council’s approval or putting One Paseo to a citywide vote.

For a referendum, the signatures of 5 percent of the city’s registered voters — 33,224 signatures — are required to be submitted to the city clerk. The petition must be filed with the city clerk within 30 days of the legislative act — in this case, the Feb. 23 One Paseo decision. All required signatures

SB City Council OKs revised Eden Gardens project

BY KRISTINA HOUCK After a year and a half and multiple redesigns, the Solana Beach City Council on Feb. 25 approved an Eden Gardens mixed-use development that aims to transform an abandoned lot at 636 Valley Ave. into office space and three townhomes. “I’d really like to thank the applicants for sticking with this,” said Deputy Mayor David Zito. “It’s a very, very interesting process at times, and I think you’ve been very persistent. It’s great to see people make adjustments and come back and present those adjustments. “I’m appreciative of the changes, and at this point, I can support it.” When developers initially presented the project in July 2013, it included an office or retail space and four dwelling units on the more-than-10,800-square-foot lot.

would have to be in by March 25. What Price Main Street members are leading the referendum effort, opposing the City Council’s characterization of the project as “smart growth.” “The City Council’s vote for One Paseo flies in the face of good planning and what makes sense for

our neighborhoods,” said Ken Farinsky of What Price Main Street. “If not overturned, this vote could bring similar oversized developments to neighborhoods throughout San Diego.” Bob Fuchs, of What Price Main Street, said the One Paseo technical studies were “designed to confuse decision-makers” and under-

stated the impacts on the community. “The process made a mockery of the safeguards for existing communities that were built into the ‘City of Villages’ planning strategy,” he said. “The City Council’s vote significantly degrades the trust between See ONE PASEO, page 22

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Del Mar voters want more than a simple city hall, and council members agree. After hearing poll results that showed voters want additional parking and expandable space, the Del Mar City Council on March 2 unanimously voted to allocate up to $546,000 for design and environmental studies for a future city hall complex. “I think we’ve got some clear information here,” said Councilman Terry Sinnott after hearing the poll results. “I think we need to proceed.” The city’s registered voters had from Feb. 2 to Feb. 20 to go online and rank three options for the facilities that will replace the city hall at 1050 Camino del Mar. Voters could also request a paper survey or use the polling station at city hall. All three options included a 9,250-square-foot city hall, 3,200-square-foot town hall and 15,000-squarefoot civic plaza, but they differed on parking and other

Del Mar school district to cut energy bills with boost from state funding

See CITY HALL, page 22

DEL MAR

BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District will save some green by going green. At its Feb. 25 meeting, the board heard about how the district will achieve energy and cost savings by implementing the $850,000 they will receive from Prop 39, the California Clean Energy Jobs Act. The district hopes to see an estimated annual cost savings of $63,000 by replacing an old, inefficient heating, ventilation and air conditioning system at Carmel Del Mar, adding a central HVAC control for the entire district, and adding LED lighting at two campuses. Prop 39 was approved by California voters in November 2012 and provides funding to kindergarten-through-sixth-grade public schools, county offices of education and charter schools for energy-efficient projects and job creation. The funding is given over a five-year period. See FUNDING, page 22

Del Mar council OKs online poll on Shores Park use

DM Education Foundation hits fundraising high

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Del Mar voters will soon have a chance to help shape a master plan for Del Mar Shores Park. The Del Mar City Council on March 2 unanimously approved the release of an online survey that will allow one registered voter per household to share thoughts on potential park uses. The survey also covers the survey taker’s recreation activities, park visitation habits, perceived parks and recreation needs, and demographic information. “The purpose of this survey is to discover what people like to do for recreation, rather than the survey being specifically focused on how people use the Shores park today,” said Kristen Crane, assistant to the city manager. “The survey explores the community’s recreational interests because those activities will influence their demand for the different facilities and amenities that the park will have.” Conducted by Encinitas-based True North Research, survey invitations will be mailed in mid-March. Letters will include a unique password. After about a week, True North will follow up by phone with nonresponders. “The phone is a second pass through that will help boost overall participation and also balance out the profile of the participating households,” said Dr. Timothy McLarney, president of True North. Unlike with the recent citizen satisfaction survey and City Hall poll, only one registered voter per household will be invited to participate in this survey. McLarney explained that this method avoids duplicate responses that might occur if more than one person per household responded. Resident Bill Michalsky, however, said it was “mind-boggling” that all registered voters wouldn’t be allowed to participate, noting that voters in the same household could have differing views. Initially, the survey was planned for mid-January, but the council delayed it so it wouldn’t interfere with the City Hall poll. “I really have concerns about the timing,” said Councilman Don Mosier at the time, adding that residents also recently participated in the citizen satisfaction survey. “In my mind, the City Hall survey is going to go out and should have priority over the Shores master plan because the timeline is much tighter.” Since council members expressed their concerns about timing, Crane said True North consulted with Everyone Counts, the consultant hired to conduct the city hall poll. After comparing the surveys and methodologies, True North “expressed that the survey methods are sufficiently distinct,” Crane said. The survey is just one step in the master plan process, which is expected to take a little

BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Schools Education Foundation is having a successful fundraising year, reaching an all-time-high year-to-date with $800,000 raised so far. According to Ty Humes, foundation president, at this time last year the foundation had raised $505,000. Humes told the Del Mar Union School District Board that the foundation is looking forward to adding to those funds to meet last year’s numbers of $1.4 million by April, with a goal of reaching $2 million by the end of the school year. A variety of sources can be credited for the boost in fundraising, many involving running. Humes said the Carmel Valley 5K race brought $20,000 to the district. Although the number is lower than last year, when the district was the sole beneficiary of the race, 72 percent of funds raised from the race went to the district. Throughout January and February, four schools held record-breaking jog-a-thon fundraisers. Ashley Falls went from raising $16,000 at last year’s event to $20,000 this year; Del Mar Hills went from $14,000 to $30,000; Sycamore Ridge went from $18,000 to $26,000; and Ocean Air went from $30,000 to $60,000. Also, the educational foundation is finding success partnering with local businesses, such as Crust Pizzeria in Torrey Hills. One of its latest partnerships is with the new Del Mar Jersey Mike’s. Through March 9, the Jersey Mike’s in Beachside Del Mar will give $2 from every sale to the foundation, representing an estimated $5,000 to $7,000 contribution.

Former DM mayor, Encinitas farmer appointed to fair board BY KRISTINA HOUCK Gov. Jerry Brown appointed former Del Mar Mayor Lee Haydu and Encinitas farmer Pierre Sleiman to the 22nd District Agricultural Association board of directors on Feb. 27. A Del Mar resident for more than 30 years, Haydu, 66, was elected to the Del Mar City Council in 2010. She served as mayor of the city from 2013 to 2014 and as deputy mayor the previous year. “I’m honored to be appointed by the governor,” said Haydu, who while on the council, served as a council liaison to the 22nd District Agricultural Association Community Relations Committee. Council members from Del Mar and Solana Beach, and representatives from the district sit on the committee. “It’s a great honor.” A Georgia native, Haydu earned a bachelor’s degree in science from Augusta College, now known as Georgia Regents University. For 10 years, Haydu lived in New York, where she was a sales representative at LXR Medical Supplies from 1985 to 1987, at Konica Medical Corporation from 1983 to 1985, and at Cambridge Medical Instruments from 1980 to 1982.

District improves tourism in Del Mar, stakeholders say BY KRISTINA HOUCK As Del Mar’s Tourism Business Improvement District is preparing its 2015 annual report for the City Council, board members and stakeholders are certain the district has made a positive impact on Del Mar. “The district has really enhanced our name,� said Man Lai Tam, who has been the general manager of Hotel Indigo Del Mar for more than two years. “It’s made Del Mar a destination location.� The Del Mar City Council authorized the formation of the district in September 2010, allowing hotel operators to charge guests a 1 percent fee that’s used to attract more visitors to the city. Five years later, the tourism district is set to automatically expire at the end of September. The renewal process will begin this spring. A representative from each of Del Mar’s hotels, motels and inns — Del Mar Inn/Clarion, Del Mar Motel on the Beach, Hotel Indigo, L’Auberge Del Mar, Les Artistes Inn and Secret Garden Inn — make up Visit Del Mar, the nonprofit created by the district to manage the assessments. The board meets monthly at one of the local hotels. As executive director of Del Mar Village Association, which shares the goal of keeping Del Mar Village economically vital, Jen Grove serves as an advisory member to the board. Since its establishment, the Tourism Business Improvement District has launched a marketing campaign and designed a logo and tagline, “Your California Dream.� Although each hotel maintains a separate website, the district launched its site — dreamdelmar.com — in March 2013. The site allows visitors to book directly. It also offers information about the hotels, restaurants and things to do in the coastal city. “It took the district a little while to get organized and get going, but since they have, they have been doing a lot of promotions and have been getting exposure,� said KC Vafiadis, a Del Mar native and commercial property owner. “More promotion has brought people in.� The district plans to present its 2015 report to the council in May. Last May, it informed council members that hotel occupancy had increased about 5.7 percent annually, with the average daily rate up by 20.5 percent since the district was formed.

“The numbers have shown that we’ve had a dramatic increase in improvement in the room nights in Del Mar as a result of the TBID and its marketing,� said Richard Earnest, a former Del Mar mayor, who now serves as Del Mar Village Association board president. “Each of us have seen an increase, year over year, in occupancy,� added Tam, who serves as a board member for both the association and the tourism district. “The best part is, our average rates have all gone up. That is very important because when our average rate goes up, meaning that the quality of the hotels are higher, it really helps improve the perception of the city.� Local businesses also benefit when visitors visit Del Mar. Vafiadis, who now lives in Carmel Valley, owns Stratford Square. Located at 15th Street and Camino del Mar, the 15,000-square-foot building houses Americana Restaurant, Jimmy O’s, five retail shops and several other businesses. “There are definitely more visitors right now than there has been in the last four or five years,� said Vafiadis, who serves on the village association board and as a liaison to the tourism district. Although the district was established to attract more visitors to Del Mar, longtime resident Karen Powell said it also benefits community members. “The funds that are raised by the TBID go to help us bring programming to the area and to the residents,� said Powell, who has lived in Del Mar for 35 years. An active volunteer in the community, she serves as secretary and vice president of promotions on the Del Mar Village Association board. “It also brings people in from outside of the community to see how wonderful of a community we are,� she said. Last year, the tourism district brought in more than $130,000, Grove said. It expects a little more than $260,000 by the end of this year. Most of the money collected is budgeted for a promotional campaign. The district also allocates 10 percent to the village association, which has totaled about $15,000 per year, Grove said. Funds from the district help the association host community events, including last year’s Santa by the Sea, a holiday celebration that featured the annual tree lighting, an outdoor film screening and photos with Santa. The village association is also using district funds to

plan new programs, such as Pop Up Culture, a series of upcoming pop-up concerts from 5-7 p.m. every Saturday in April and May at L’Auberge Del Mar’s outdoor amphitheater at 15th Street and Camino del Mar. “We supplement a lot of activities and promote Del Mar with those funds,� Powell said. “We want to provide residents with fun and exciting things to do downtown, and we like bringing in tourists from outside. Being a small incorporated city, tourism is what really keeps us afloat. We like sharing what we have with the greater community and outof-towners.� Another 10 percent of funds goes to commercial zone improvements. About $60,000 has been set aside for downtown improvements, Grove said. To date, the tourism district has funded two pedestrian directory signs — one at Dog Beach and one between Hotel Indigo and the Del Mar Inn — along with 32 holiday banners, installation and removal of the holiday tree and the addition of holiday ornaments. The district is working with the city to identify new downtown improvement projects with remaining funds, roughly $35,000, Grove said. “We’re hoping to make our town shine and look beautiful,� Vafiadis said. “I just think all the organizations working together is really important right now.� With the Tourism Business Improvement District set to expire later this year, board members and stakeholders hope the council will renew the district, especially with the Breeders’ Cup headed to Del Mar in 2017. “It took the district a long time to get going,� Vafiadis said. “They are finally up and running, and I’m hoping they continue to get exposure for Del Mar. “Now is a critical time because we have the Breeders’ Cup coming. We need to be ready for it. Anything they can do to get people prepared for that will help.� Added Earnest, “We’re now seeing the fruits of their labor. The momentum that’s been created needs to continue. If somehow the council decides it didn’t really work and goes in a different direction, I think that would be a big mistake.� For more about the Tourism Business Improvement District, visit dreamdelmar.com/about-visit-del-mar.

3-day music festival hits wrong note with Del Mar City Council, some residents BY KRISTINA HOUCK A three-day music, food and drink festival is headed to the Del Mar Fairgrounds — and the city of Del Mar had no clue. Announced last week, the inaugural Kaaboo Del Mar festival features seven stages and more than 100 music acts and performances over the weekend of Sept. 18-20. But when the public first heard about the starstudded lineup, so did Del Mar. “We weren’t aware of it, and we weren’t happy with it either,” said Mayor Al Corti, in response to residents who have questioned why they didn’t have a heads-up. Concerned about noise, traffic, safety and other potential impacts, Del Mar resident Robin Crabtree asked the council to protect the community. “I’m a little disappointed that this is already going,” Crabtree said. “It’s already out there, you can already buy tickets and this is the first that the Del Mar residents are hearing about it. “I look to you, council members, to please protect us.” City Manager Scott Huth said he received a call from a festival representative on March 2, seeking to set up a meeting with a council member and city staff the following Monday, March 9. Huth said he has also talked with sheriff’s Capt. Theresa Adams-Hydar about the city’s safety concerns. “We really don’t have a lot of information,” Huth said. “That’s our problem. That’s our issue with the fairgrounds and the Kaaboo organizers.” The 22nd District Agricultural Association Board approved a $1.95 million contract with HorsePower Entertainment, the festival’s organizer, at its Feb. 10 meeting. At that time, Tim Fennell, CEO and general manager of the association, said that

after expenses for security and other services, the district should generate more than $1 million in revenue from food and beverage sales, parking and other sources. Also, he said the festival would provide an economic boost for local hotels, restaurants and other businesses. “There are impacts to our community, and we’re not seeing the benefit,” Corti said. “To the extent they can sit there and say, ‘We’re going to get a couple extra hotel rooms and a couple of people in the restaurants,’ doesn’t cut it from my perspective.” Corti, who now serves as a council liaison on the 22nd District Agricultural Association Community Relations Committee, noted he attended his first meeting the day before the festival was announced, yet the event was not discussed. Council members from Del Mar and Solana Beach, and representatives from the district sit on the committee. “That bothers me,” Corti said. “There doesn’t seem a desire, on the fair board, to have this discussion with the community. “It continues to go on. They continue to have whatever events they want. They deal with the impacts as they see fit. And they say, ‘By the way, we’re coming into your community.’ I just don’t think that’s right. I don’t know how to fix it, but I know by being silent about it, it’s not going to get addressed.” Corti plans to address the issue at the next Community Relations Committee. He or another council member will also join city staff in a meeting with the festival promoter next week. Corti and city staff plan to update the full council on the matter at the next meeting on March 16. For more about the event, visit kaaboodelmar.com.

TPHS Foundation reaches out to alums for March 28 fundraising/celebration event The Torrey Pines High School Foundation’s “40 Year Celebration Committee” is reaching out to TPHS alums and current parents alike to raise interest in the annual online silent auction and fundraiser event to be held on Saturday, March 28, at 7 p.m. at the Belly Up in Solana Beach. This event raises money for the TPHS Foundation’s “Support All Students” (SAS) fund and the focus this year is to equip 100 classrooms with LCD projectors. “We have a lot to celebrate from the past 40 years and we are hoping to have a large alumni turnout at the event this year,” states Bobbi Karlson, executive director of the TPHS Foundation. “We are striving to break attendance records for this event by not only reaching out to our current families, but TPHS alums as well.” The Detroit Underground will headline again this year and the Foundation is happy to welcome back professional auctioneer Steve Hamann for the exciting live auction. TPHS parent and KUSI news anchor Sandra Maas will emcee the event. Resurrection Radio, a local four-piece classic alternative cover band with two TPHS

Class of 1986 alums including TPHS Assistant Principal Rob Coppo and Scott Williams will get the party started with music from The Clash, Devo, R.E.M, U2 and many more. For this event, Resurrection Radio will be welcoming additional Torrey Pines alumni as guest musicians including Dawn Davis-Bearson on vocals and Tim Campen on guitar, both of whom graduated in 1987. Invitations for the event will be mailed to TPHS families this month. Parents and alumni are encouraged to follow the TPHS Foundation on Facebook or Twitter or check their website at torreypinesfoundation.org for up to date information and to purchase tickets. The annual online silent auction will open on Friday, March 6 at 6 p.m. and can be accessed by visiting www.auction.torreypinesfoundation.org. Torrey Pines High School, the largest high school in the San Dieguito Union High School District, opened its doors in 1974. Since that time, TPHS has consistently earned local and national acclaim for both academics and athletics. The TPHS Foundation is a 501-C-3 corporation founded in 1993.

Fires set in Solana Beach post office BY KAREN KUCHER, SPECIAL TO THE SB SUN, DM TIMES, CV NEWS A 38-year-old man was arrested early March 2 after sheriff’s deputies checking out a burglar alarm at the Solana Beach post office found five fires set inside the building. Deputies called out by a report of a ringing alarm at the post office on South Sierra Avenue near Lomas Santa Fe shortly before 2 a.m. found a man inside the building and five small fires burning, said sheriff’s Lt. Jim Walker. The damage from the fires was minimal, Walker said. Sheriff’s deputies used a police dog to assist them in making the arrest. The man was taken to a hospital for treatment of dog bites, Walker said.

Thanks to you, after years of support and input, this important and forward-looking project was just overwhelmingly approved by the San Diego City Council. Now it’s time to bring it to life — and create something truly special for all of Carmel Valley and the City of San Diego.

New Scripps Prebys cardiac center to receive first patients March 8 BY PAT SHERMAN After years of planning, Scripps Health’s new $456 million Prebys Cardiovascular Institute will receive its first patients March 8, opening as the West Coast’s most advanced center for cardiovascular care. What Scripps Clinic’s chief of cardiology, Paul Teirstein (who is also director of the new cardiac center), praised last week as the building’s “arty, boomerang design” seems fitting. Just like a boomerang, the quality care Scripps has provided San Diegans through the decades came back in the form of $127 million in philanthropic gifts toward the new center. Donations came from more than 2,600 individuals, including $1 million from Scripps physicians, another $1 million from Scripps staff and $45 million from Conrad Prebys, a real estate developer and philanthropist for whom the state-of-the-art facility is named. Addressing hundreds of donors, physicians, staff and media during a ribbon-cutting ceremony Feb. 26, Scripps Health’s President and CEO Chris Van Gorder called Prebys’ donation “impactful” and “historic.” “We will always be grateful to you,” Van Gorder told Prebys and those in attendance. “It’s the single largest donation Scripps has ever received, and we believe it will help reshape heart care and health care in San Diego for the 21st century.” The new center has 108 private patient rooms, 59 intensive-care beds and six operating rooms, including two hybrid operating rooms and three cardiac catheterization labs, with room to add three more. (Catheterization is a procedure by which a long, thin, flexible tube called a catheter is inserted into a blood vessel in a patient’s arm, upper thigh or neck and threaded to the heart to conduct diagnostic tests and heart treatments.) On floors three through seven are 17 negative-pressure (isolation) rooms that prevent cross-contamination between

The new $456 million Prebys Cardiovascular Institute in La Jolla will receive its first patients Sunday, March 8. Photo courtesy Pat Sherman patient areas. The rooms are used to isolate patients with airborne contagious diseases such as tuberculosis, measles, chickenpox or Ebola. During his speech, Van Gorder paid homage to La Jolla benefactress Ellen Browning Scripps, who in 1924 established the original Scripps Hospital on Prospect Street. “I can absolutely tell you that Miss Ellen is smiling down on us today,” Van Gorder assured everyone. The center will continue Scripps’ more-than-three-decade collaboration with Kaiser Permanente cardiologists. Scripps’ 166 cardiovascular specialists serve about 76,000 heart patients per year, making Scripps the largest heart care provider in the region. Addressing the audience Feb. 26, San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer said the new center is a testament to San Diegans coming together to achieve great things. “The research and the teaching that is going to go on here is going to save thousands and thousands of lives across this country and indeed across the world, because of the techniques and technology to be pioneered here,” Faulconer said. The building’s design was shaped by input from more than 200 doctors, nurses, administrators, architects and staff. “That work is done,” Van Gorder told the crowd, “and now we hand it back to … these highly skilled people to start taking care of patients literally a week from now.” Van Gorder said completion of the Prebys Center fulfills a vision he had when he joined Scripps Health in 2000 “to see cranes on all the campuses,” heralding expansion of the Scripps Health system. The new center is a crucial component of a 25-year master plan unveiled in November 2010 that is transforming the Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla campus. The master plan also calls for the replacement of the hospital to comply with California earthquake safety mandates. Other additions are the Scripps Clinic John R. Anderson V Medical Pavilion, a $130 million medical building being constructed next to the institute, to be completed in March 2016. San Diego City Council President Sherri Lightner, a La Jollan who gave birth to all three of her children at Scripps

hospitals, said Scripps was one of the first outside parties to pay her a visit when she joined the City Council in 2008, to share plans for its cardiac center and its other La Jolla projects. “I am proud that Scripps continues to grow, invest and thrive in San Diego,” Lightner said, noting how Scripps’ expansion will create an array of jobs in the region and promote economic growth. “Once completed, this entire area will be a wonder to behold. … I can’t wait for the rest of the buildings in the master plan to come forward.” The new facility combines the cardiovascular programs of neighboring Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla and Scripps Green Hospital, located next to Torrey Pines Golf Course. The nearby John R. Anderson V Medical Pavilion will be linked to Prebys Cardiovascular Institute by two enclosed, elevated walkways. The Anderson pavilion will include doctors’ offices, patient exam rooms, four cath labs and 12 recovery rooms. Cardiologists practicing in the Prebys Center will have offices and see patients in the adjacent pavilion. Surgical facilities in the Prebys Center will be available, if needed, to patients undergoing procedures in the Anderson cath labs. Heart disease is the nation’s leading cause of death for men and women, claiming about 600,000 lives each year and accounting for 1 in every 4 deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. In San Diego County, nearly 4,000 people die of heart disease each year.

more than a year and to include several opportunities for public input. It will be completed in three phases, the first of which will focus on taking an inventory of the site and learning how community members want to use the park. Besides the survey, the first phase will include interest group interviews, informational pop-up booths at community events and an on-site workshop May 2 called “Plan Your Park.” The city will also use its online Web tool, Mind Mixer, to gather feedback from the community. The first phase kicked off November 2014 and is expected to run through May 2015. The city has already conducted 12 interest group interviews. “This survey is just one component of phase one of the master plan process, which is focused on discovering what people like to do for recreation,” Crane said. “The findings of this survey will be part of the overall consideration process for looking at the possible amenities to include on the site, combined with the other findings from all these different things that we’re doing during this

first phase. It’s just one of the methods of input.” The council voted in August 2007 to buy the $8.5 million property from the school district, aiming to preserve open space and recreational uses, continue operating The Winston School, and initiate a master plan process. The long-range plan will guide the development of the 5.3-acre park along Camino del Mar. Last spring, the council established the Shores Advisory Committee. Eight residents were appointed to the committee, which began meeting in June. Headed by council liaisons Deputy Mayor Sherryl Parks and Councilman Terry Sinnott, the committee oversees the master plan process and provides input to the council. In October, the council awarded a $150,000 contract to Schmidt Design Group to produce a site plan. True North and Schmidt Design attended the December Shores Advisory Committee meeting to discuss the purpose of the survey and the committee’s goals and objectives. Using the committee’s input, a draft survey was developed, which the committee also reviewed.

Solana Beach resident’s efforts recognized with 78th Assembly District honors BY KRISTINA HOUCK From fostering change in her community, to championing college for local youth, Lisa Montes has worked to better her hometown and the greater San Diego region for decades. Recently named one of the 78th Assembly District’s 2015 “Women of the Year” honorees by Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins (D-San Diego), Montes’ community service will be celebrated during an awards ceremony March 13 at the Catamaran Resort Hotel and Spa in San Diego. “I’m deeply rooted in my community and very proud of my ancestors for instilling in me the importance of giving back,” Montes said. Montes has lived in Solana Beach’s Eden Gardens community, also known as La Colonia de Eden Gardens, all her life. She owns the property her grandparents purchased in 1931, just a few years after they relocated to the area in 1926. With strong roots in the community, Montes has always been one to give back to her hometown. In 2010, Montes and other concerned community members founded La Colonia de Eden Gardens Foun-

dation to suppress escalating drug and gang violence, as well as encourage local youth to make positive choices and improve resources for residents. “From the very beginning, my ancestors, my relatives, when they founded Eden Gardens, they always worked toward making the community a better community,” Montes said. “They were always involved in the community, whether it was helping raise money for scholarships for Latino students or it was helping sponsor sports teams for youth to keep them engaged and out of trouble. “That was ingrained in me when I was a child. For me, it was a natural thing to get involved.” Having been a part of the foundation from the start, Montes now serves as vice chair of the board. Since its establishment, the foundation has held community forums and created a community garden. It also launched a youth leadership camp. In July, 50 youth ages 12-17 gathered at the Whispering Winds Catholic Conference Center in Julian for the second annual camp. Organized by the foundation and funded by numer-

Lisa Montes will be honored March 13 for her community service. Photo by Kristina Houck ous local supporters, the camp offered four days and three nights of fun and educational activities for only $30 per camper — with a fee waiver for those who opted for volunteer work. Of its many outreach projects, Montes is proudest of the foundation’s work with youth. After the inaugural camp in 2013, local teens launched a group called La Colonia Changers, in an effort to make positive changes in Eden Gardens. Last spring, the group held a

town hall forum on underage drinking to discuss why it is a problem, how it affects the community and what the public can do about it. The group has also worked on a project called Photo Voice, where they have captured pictures of positive and negative things around the community, documenting their thoughts about the images and how they affect Eden Gardens. “It is amazing for us to see youth take on leadership roles in the community,” Montes said. “That’s neat to see because you know that the legacy, your work, is going to continue. The community will continue to be better because you guided these students, encouraged them and motivated them to be leaders.” Montes has become an advocate for youth, having worked at MiraCosta College in Oceanside for more than 20 years. As a student services specialist in the Office of School Relations and Diversity Outreach, Montes plans community outreach events, organizes youth conferences and represents MiraCosta College at organizations such as the San Dieguito Alliance for Drug Free Youth.

Recently, she worked with faculty and staff to organize STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) activities for 187 fifth-graders from Valley Center Elementary School at the campus. This week, she is organizing music workshops for 120 students from El Camino and Oceanside high schools. “We’re trying to put them in the pipeline to go to college,” she said. Montes, who studied Spanish at San Diego State University, began her career at Palomar College. For 10 years, she worked at the San Marcos campus, first in the Extended Opportunity Programs and Services office and then in the financial aid office. Montes began working at MiraCosta College in 1992 when the campus was looking to become a Hispanic-Serving Institution. Hispanic-Serving Institutions are colleges, or universities where total Hispanic enrollment constitutes a minimum of 25 percent of total enrollment. With Montes’ help, the college reached and surpassed that goal years ago. “I tell people I have the best job on campus,” Montes said. “It’s that pride, that

MiraCosta pride, and being able to share with potential students what we have to offer.” One way Montes reaches out to potential students and the greater public is through the college’s Latino Film Series. Through the free series, the college hosts four film screenings every year. Montes also serves as a board member of Encuentros Leadership, a nonprofit that encourages and supports Latino boys to achieve optimal performance in education. Although Latino high school graduation rates are on the rise in California, graduation rates are still lower than those of their white counterparts. In 2013, the graduation rate among Latinos was 75 percent, while the graduation rate for white students was 88 percent, according to figures from the California Department of Education. Montes got involved with Encuentros Leadership 13 years ago to help change that and encourage students not only to graduate from high school, but to go on and complete college. She also works closely with See HONORS, page 19

‘Champions of Hope’ fundraiser to shine light on Crohn’s disease, colitis BY KRISTINA HOUCK An estimated 1.6 million American adults and children suffer from Crohn’s disease or ulcerative colitis, two chronic and often debilitating digestive diseases. To raise awareness about these conditions and funds for research and support programs, Solana Beach supporters of the San Diego chapter of the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America are organizing “Champions of Hope,� an awards dinner March 15 at the San Diego Central Library. “So many people are afflicted, (and) it’s just never talked about,� said Solana Beach resident Debbie Hart, who serves as co-committee chair for the event, along with locals Laurel Smith and Susan von Posern. “We want to raise awareness.� Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are conditions that can cause diarrhea, bleeding, cramps and fatigue. Approximately 16,000 people have one of the two conditions in San Diego County, said Carly Bazzett of Solana Beach, the San Diego chapter’s executive director. Many patients must take drugs, which have serious side effects, or undergo surgery to get some relief. No cure exists for either condition, both of which fall under the umbrella of inflammatory bowel diseases. “I was diagnosed at 14, and I did not know another person that had inflammatory bowel disease until I was 20, because it wasn’t discussed,� said von Posern. A Solana Beach resident since 1997, von Posern is a board member and general counsel of the local chapter. “That’s six lonely years. It’s my goal to prevent that from happening to other people.�

The Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation is a nationwide organization dedicated to funding research and providing support to patients. Launched in 1980, the local chapter holds a number of fundraising events each year to benefit research and help patients and their families through educational forums, support groups and other services. At no cost, for example, the chapter sends about 120 children who have these diseases to Camp Oasis at Camp Ronald McDonald for Good Times in Mountain Center, Calif., each year. Last year, the chapter raised about $1.4 million for the cause. “The money you donate stays in San Diego,� said Bazzett, whose grandmother has Crohn’s disease. Last year, von Posern, Hart and Smith helped organize “Rally for Cures,� a reception that took place just before the San Diego Aviators’ opening tennis match against the Austin Aces in July at the Valley View Casino Center in San Diego. Wanting to work together again, the group began planning the chapter’s March fundraiser in September. During “Champions of Hope,� the chapter will recognize actor and advocate Benjamin King, who was diagnosed with Crohn’s disease more than five years ago, as well as health coach and former “The Bachelor� contestant Tenley Molzahn, a supporter of the foundation and spokeswoman for awareness of gluten intolerance and celiac disease. The chapter will also honor Dr. William Sandborn, a board member and chief of the division of gastroenterology and director of the UC San Diego IBD Center.

A friend and neighbor of von Posern’s, her niece was diagnosed with Crohn’s eight years ago. “Being outspoken is half the battle,� von Posern added. “Champions of Hope� will feature dinner, drinks, entertainment, and live and silent auctions. More than 200 people are expected to attend the event, which begins at 5 p.m. March 15 at San Diego Central Library’s Shiley Event Center. General admission tickets cost $175 and VIP tickets cost $275. “We’re excited about it,� von Posern said. “From the music to the auction items to the venue, we’re absolutely confident it’s going to be a great night.� For information about the Crohn’s and Colitis Foundation of America or the local chapter, visit www.ccfa.org or www.ccfa.org/chapters/sandiego.

UCSD engineering students help the sixth-graders with their building ideas. A ‘shake table’ puts the sixth-graders’ structures to the earthquake test.

Del Mar Heights students build skills, confidence with engineering challenge If you walk into the Del Mar Heights Elementary School Science Lab and see children taping and gluing, do not be fooled. They are not making a craft. They are, however, being creative. Each year, the students are challenged to use the engineering design process to solve problems. This month, sixth-grade students at Del Mar Heights Elementary competed in the UCSD K’Nex structural engineering challenge. During the K’Nex project, students participate in a realistic scenario in which they try to win a contract to build a building for a landowner. They must create buildings that are aesthetically pleasing, earthquake resistant, and cost-effective. On the final day of the project, the UCSD engineering students interview the students, look at their architectural drawings and scale construction drawings, and shake the structures on a shake table to determine the winners. Through these engineering activities, students learn critical thinking, perseverance, and how to collaborate with team members to solve a problem while having a blast. During the engineering design process, students define problems, brainstorm solutions, and then implement a cycle of planning, building, testing, improving, retesting, and evaluating. There are different engineering projects for each grade level. First-graders design and test toy sailboats with the goal of creating the fastest boat that does not sink. To be successful, boats must travel at least 100 centimeters in 10 seconds when tested in a test tank with a fan. Second-graders must design bridges that can hold the weight of 50 pennies using a limited supply of materials, and third-graders create lunar landers that can land gently without tipping. Students in fourth grade build electric cars and engineer improvements to prevent damage during crashes, and fifth-graders build and test water rockets made from 2-liter bottles.

San Dieguito Union High School District enrollment workshops to be held throughout district in March In spring 2014, the San Dieguito Union High School District asked a group of parents, students and staff members to examine various options on how to enroll students in local high schools and to seek public input on these options. The High School Enrollment Study Group met throughout fall 2014 and developed several options. The group is now seeking public input and feedback on the options. A series of workshops will be held on this topic from 6-8 p.m., and the public is invited. Workshop dates: • Monday, March 9, Earl Warren Middle School • Tuesday, March 10, Oak Crest Middle School • Thursday, March 12, Carmel Valley Middle School • Wednesday, March 18, Diegueno Middle School These workshops are not intended to discuss high school enrollment for the 2015-16 school year, nor will 2015-16 enrollment be addressed. Any changes in high school enrollment processes that may result from this process would not take effect until the 2016-17 school year at the earliest and would not affect any students already attending high school in 2016-17. Because of the interactive nature of these workshops and space restrictions, attendance is limited and registration is required to attend. To register for a workshop, visit signupgenius.com/go/10c0a45a5ad2d6-public.

TPHS scholarship fund offering free college financial workshop March 24 Kerry Traylor, CEO and founder of College Strategy Experts, has teamed with the Torrey Pines High School Scholarship Fund committee to present a free community workshop on “How to Survive the High Cost of College” at 7 p.m. March 24 at the Torrey Pines High School Lecture Hall. The workshop is open to the community and will provide information about college admissions and financial aid that parents need to become informed consumers. To sign up visit www.tphssf.org. The Torrey Pines High School Scholarship Fund is a nonprofit that provides merit scholarships to TPHS students at the two- or four-year college, trade or vocational school or any accredited post-secondary education of their choice. “College costs have risen over 1,200 percent in the last 20 years, escalating more than those of any other U.S. good and service,” said Traylor. “In 2003, only two colleges charged more than $40,000 a year. In 2015, well over 100 colleges and universities are charging more than $60,000 a year. These institutions are bankrupting a generation of parents and students, and I am so honored to be able to help the TPHS students.” For every family attending the March 24 workshop, College Strategy Experts will donate $25 to the scholarship fund. “Our group’s mission is to provide scholarships for seniors,” said Karin Lang, co-president of the fund. “So whatever fundraisers we can hold that can help our students are a winwin. These kids are our future, and they deserve an affordable college education.” To register for the workshop, visit www.tphssf.org. 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 fund. Formerly known as Dollars for Scholars, the organization became independent in 2013. “This year, the nonprofit reaches its $1 million mark — having raised $1 million in scholarships since it was founded more than 28 years ago,” Stromitis said.

Students can choose from one of three intensive, four-day sessions, all from 9 a.m.-3 p.m. in a CCA classroom. The first will be April 6-9, a second session will be June 15-18, and the third session will be Aug. 17-20. Students should be approaching or already 15½ years old to enroll in the classroom course. Teens who are not CCA students are also welcome to register; classes are limited to 40 participants per session. The benefits of a classroom-based program are that students finish in four days, receive live instruction, experience interactive learning, learn lifesaving and defensive driving skills, and take multiple practice tests. Students will receive instruction from a licensed, insured instructor from Golden State Driving School. They will receive an official certificate of completion at the end of the session, verifying that all the DMV Driver’s Education requirements have been fulfilled. With this certificate, students who are 15½ or older will be able to take the DMV written test to obtain a learner’s permit. The learner’s permit is valid after the student completes one 2-hour driving lesson with an accredited driving school. Note that behind-the-wheel driver’s training is not included in this program, but Golden State offers experienced behind-the-wheel instruction. The cost for the four-day classroom course is $89. A portion of the proceeds will benefit the CCA Foundation and CCA Dollars for Scholars. For details and to register, visit www.canyoncrest.dollarsforscholars.org and click on driver’s education. For questions, email ccadfs@gmail.com. Students will be enrolled firstcome, first-served; registration is online only. Enrollment for each session will end one week before the first class begins. There will be no make-up dates for missed classes. Full refund given if cancellation is received more than 72 hours before the first day of class. If cancellation is received less than 72 hours before the first day of class, 50 percent of the fee will be refunded. Note that the classroom course is not available for high school course credit.

Former Falcons lacrosse star to visit TPHS with teammates for clinic BY GIDEON RUBIN Former Torrey Pines lacrosse sensation Lucas Gradinger is coming home, and he isn’t coming alone. Gradinger, now a sophomore midfielder for perennial national Division I collegiate power Maryland, will be joined by his Terrapins teammates who will spend a day at Torrey Pines High teaching their craft to local middle school students who hope to someday follow in their footsteps. The Terrapins, who will be in the area for a national showcase game against North Carolina that aims to promote the sport on the West Coast, will hold the clinic on the Falcons’ practice field. They’ll also use the facility March 21 to prepare for this year’s annual Pacific Coast Shootout at Santa Ana Stadium. Maryland will be on the Torrey Pines campus for their clinic and practice on March 19. Torrey Pines coach Jono Zissi, who is from Boston, brainstormed the idea for the clinic and practice at Torrey Pines with Maryland coach John Tillman, whom he knows from his own lacrosse playing days on the East Coast. Zissi said the Terrapins had already planned to tour the local Navy SEAL base earlier in the day, which made the visit to the Torrey Pines campus seem like a natural fit. That Gradinger plays for Maryland made the idea a slam-dunk. Gradinger concluded his distinguished Torrey Pines prep career in 2013 as a twotime All-American and was the 2013 U.S. Lacrosse Western Region Player of the Year. He tallied 291 points in four years on the varsity (144 goals, 147 assists) during his four-

year varsity career. “He’s one of the most legendary players to ever come through Torrey Pines High School, and for him to come back and for all our kids to visit with him and see how well he’s doing — that’s pretty special,” Zissi said. The Pacific Coast Shootout game will showcase a sport that’s grown exponentially in Southern California, and in San Diego County in particular, since it was introduced to the high school sports scene barely 10 years ago as a club sport and an officially sanctioned game shortly afterwards. Last season’s LaxMagazine.com final Top 10 for the West region featured two local teams (No. 5 Cathedral Catholic and No. 8 La Costa Canyon). Foothill of Santa Ana was the region’s top-ranked team. “Why do a clinic? It’s just a captive audience,” Zissi said. “These kids are so thirsty for these kinds of role models, this kind of instruction. “They read about them on the Internet, they know all the Maryland kids, the Duke kids, the Notre Dame kids (Duke and Notre Dame played in last year’s Pacific Coast Shootout) — so to actually bring that to them in our backyard for our Torrey Pines feeder program, it’s pretty special.” The Pacific Coast Shootout figures to attract lacrosse fans from throughout the Southland from Los Angeles County and the Inland Empire to the Mexican border, Zissi said. The game features two teams ranked in the NCAA’s top 25. North Carolina is ranked No. 4 and Maryland No. 10. “Just to bring the game to an area that’s dying to see high-level lacrosse is pretty special,” Zissi said. “Now that the game’s growing so much

Former Torrey Pines standout Lucas Gradinger now plays for the Maryland Terrapins. He’ll return to Torrey Pines on March 19 when he and his teammates hold a clinic for local middle school students. Photo by Anna Scipione out here, a lot of Western kids are starting to go back (East) to play the sport in college, and this makes something that they’re all striving for tangible; it’s in their backyard and they can see basically what their dream is.” Kids on the West Coast have limited options to see high-level lacrosse live, Zissi said, noting that there is just one Division I collegiate program on the men’s circuit (University of Denver) west of Ohio State. The dearth of West Coast collegiate programs presents tough choices for athletes, Zissi said, noting that in addition to committing to the grueling demands of a Division I sport, they also have to commit to moving far away from home. “It’s crazy,” he said. “For all these kids coming out of high schools who want to play college lacrosse, you have to make two big decisions now: Do you want to play college lacrosse, and are you willing to move back east?”

Lacrosse was recently added to several Pacific-12 schools on the women’s circuit, but men’s programs have yet to find funding for the sport, which Zissi said costs about four times as much. More-expensive helmets, gloves and shoulder pads are needed for the men’s game, which is much more physical and involves contact that closely resembles football and hockey. The women’s game, he said, is more similar to basketball and soccer. Title IX regulations present an uphill battle for the Pacific-12 Conference bringing in men’s lacrosse, Zissi said, noting that University of Michigan, which recently added the support, is requiring the sport to be self-funded at the cost of $7 million annually. Zissi believes the sport’s popularity will eventually drive the Pac-12 to adopt men’s lacrosse. “I’ve got to imagine that bubble’s going to burst sooner than later,” he said. “Between Stanford, USC, UCLA and Oregon, I can’t imagine five years from now that that’s not a Division I league.”

Anthony Cerruti, Alex Lillian and DJ Nelson received an award for the Best CodeDay game program.

Stephen Clark, Nicholas Clark and Ryan Nemiroff received the award for the Best Overall CodeDay application.

Local club members win awards for programming at CodeDay BY VIC WINTRISS Twenty-two teams of eager young programmers (more than 120 kids) gathered recently at CyberHive San Diego, a shared workspace incubator that delivers business and technical support to early-stage cybersecurity and high-tech companies. They gathered for CodeDay, a nonstop 24-hour sleepless sprint to produce the best computer program as determined by a team of local, professional judges. CodeDay consists of a series of student programming events held around the world, in 32 cities this year. It’s the world’s largest educational programming marathon. The teams are mostly made up of high school and college students with a few middle and grade school students. The League Of Amazing Programmers, a Carmel Valley after-school program that teaches kids the Java programming language starting in the fifth grade, entered five teams. The League teams came away with two of the three CodeDay awards presented, one for the best game program and the other for the best overall application. Anthony Cerruti, a sixth-grader from Palmquist Elementary School in Oceanside teamed with sixth-grader DJ Nelson and eighth-grader Alex Lillian, both from Rancho Santa Fe Middle School, to write a secret-door program to win the Best Game award. “The Door Game” requires a player to move around the screen with keyboard

control and find secret tools to unlock a door. Dramatic sound effects add sparkle to the game. “It was really fun to write,” said 11-year-old Anthony, who stayed up all night working on the game. Ryan Nemiroff, a 10th-grader at Sage Creek High School in Carlsbad, Stephen Clark, a senior, and his brother, Nicholas Clark, a seventh-grader both attending La Jolla Country Day School, worked as a team and won the Best Overall trophy for their “Grocery Guru” application. This app examines grocery receipts to predict when more items are needed for a particular recipe. It consists of an Android application for scanning receipts and receiving alerts and includes an SQL database for storing purchasing data. The students worked tirelessly all night to finish the job in time for the judging. “It was a great learning experience,” said Nemiroff. Clark has been accepted at Carnegie Mellon, MIT and CalTech for the fall semester. He plans to attend MIT and will be studying computer science. Other League teams made a website for learning HTML, a cellular automaton simulator, and a first-person adventure game using skills they learned by attending weekly classes at The League.

Family welcomes potential Council’s One Paseo vote ignores benefits of One Paseo planning boards, smart growth policies Hello San Diego City Council Members: As a 20-plus-year resident of the Carmel Valley area of our city, I am so grateful for your recent votes to further along the Kilroy Realty development, One Paseo. For so many years, the undeveloped property at the center of our community has remained a vacant eyesore while the adjacent Del Mar Highlands Town Center has become more dense and exclusive. My family and I welcome the potential benefits that One Paseo will bring to the community in terms of additional usable space, retail variety, and employment opportunities for our youth. Thank you so much for standing up to the narrow, selfish interests of our current shopping center and for opening the gateway for Carmel Valley to blossom into all it can become. Kirstin Pisacane Carmel Valley

A letter to City Council members re: One Paseo I was at the City Council meeting on Feb. 23. I arrived three hours early to get a seat in the meeting room. At the doorway, a gentleman said the room was full and told me to go to an adjoining room. I said the room did not look full, but he insisted. I came back a few minutes later and a different man was at the doorway, ushering people into the room who had on orange union shirts (i.e., Kilroy supporters). I went in with them and took a seat. Kilroy was thereby controlling admission in order to maximize its presence at the meeting. This is the same company that represented to you how much integrity they have. I sat next to a Kilroy employee at the meeting. He has an MBA from Columbia University, and took the train down from Los Angeles at 7 a.m., to get there at 9:30 to make sure he got a seat. His only purpose was to sit there — he did not speak. Kilroy spent quite a bit of money on employees like him, to make it appear to the council that they have community support. Another example of Kilroy’s lack of integrity. RE: Kilroy’s construction plan: There will now be two left-turn lanes, from eastbound Del Mar Heights Road onto northbound High Bluff Drive. All that traffic will be flooding my neighborhood. Those left-turn lanes will allow drivers to avoid the congestion at One Main Street, further east on Del Mar Heights Road. That traffic will come into my neighborhood, all day, every day, to avoid One Paseo. That is only half of it. On southbound El Camino Real (from Rancho Santa Fe) will be drivers who will also want to avoid the congestion at One Paseo. To get to the I-5 freeway, they will turn right on Quarter Mile Drive, or Half Mile Drive, and flood my neighborhood, all day, every day. Kilroy has been asked, repeatedly: What about this problem? Kilroy’s answer: We don’t know. What Kilroy means is: We don’t care. Your role as public officials should be to stand up for the taxpayers, the people whose home is their biggest asset, as opposed to a developer that will spend (and has spent) millions to get what it wants. Yesterday, you failed in your role as public officials. Michael E. Ripley

“Smart Growth” by definition is based on transit-oriented development (“TOD”). Shuttle buses are not TOD. There is no fixed rail or bus route anywhere near the One Paseo site. Therefore, One Paseo is not “Smart Growth.” By 2035, however, consideration might be given to a single bus line. Don’t hold your breath on that one. The increase in traffic will necessitate widening Del Mar Heights Road to nine lanes, adding a lane to a street inside a quiet neighborhood to handle more automobiles. Proponents of the project shamelessly parroted the Kilroy mantra that One Paseo is “Smart Growth.” By sheer repetition, these people (for whatever reasons) ignored the express definition of Smart Growth policies that are based on combining 1) density with 2) convenient access to an established network of public transportation. “Convenient” is defined as development within a half mile of public transportation. Studies are clear that people will not walk further than that distance. Ignoring #2, above, defeats most of the benefits of TOD and Smart Growth. Further, ignoring convenient access to an established network of public transportation contravenes the express policies of the San Diego “City of Villages” concept. Smart Growth and TOD promote economic growth and are environmentally sustainable because greenhouse gases are reduced along with other harmful emissions, commuting expenses are reduced saving an average of 25 percent of the family budget on such expenses, and local property values are increased rather than reduced. Council member David Alvarez reversed his mayoral candidacy position of respecting local planning boards’ input into planning matters. That was just cheap talk, apparently. He was joined by Democratic Council members Todd Gloria and Myrtle Cole in throwing Carmel Valley under the nonexistent bus! San Diego’s “representatives” (except Marti Emerald and Sherri Lightner, who voted against the proposed project) are resisting state and citywide Smart Growth and TOD policies to please developers, labor unions and portions of the business community that see huge profits. Short-term profits and jobs do not trump long-term economic and environmental benefits. Carmel Valley residents are now considering their legal options. William Bibb, Consumer lawyer and environmentalist Carmel Valley

Follow the money in council’s One Paseo vote The City Council vote was disappointing, but surprising in precisely zero ways. By all appearances, they were bought — a shocking development in the American political process. My suggestion is that the respective planning groups investigate the flow of money and bright-light the findings. Many of us would be interested in the results. Richard A. Brown Del Mar

Truly grateful for care by dedicated nurse “Nurse” defined — “a person who cares for the sick or infirm.” During the last three months, my time was spent in several local medical facilities being cared for by a truly unique breed of humanity — the Nurse — a person who was dedicated enough to obtain the knowledge and training to do things at hours you and I probably would not! And only for the sick and infirm, for which I am truly grateful! Ralph Peck Del Mar

A Valentine ’Thank You’ from Low and Slow Running Club The Low and Slow Running Club of Del Mar extends its sincere “thank you” for helping our annual Red Nose Run raise $20,747 for The Semper Fi Fund and Fresh Start Surgical Gifts for Kids. Since 1992, the support of many individuals and businesses has enabled our small local running group to raise nearly $240,000 in support of these two important charities. Every year, each sponsor, individual contributor, auction participant, raffle prize donor and all the runners continue to make our annual Red Nose Run a fun and successful charity event on the Del Mar beach. To everyone: “Well done, thank you and God bless!” Al Bernotas, Carlsbad Member, Low & Slow Running Club of Del Mar

What’s good for One Paseo must also be good for all Now that One Paseo has passed, and is going to be three times as big as the zoning laws, I am going to increase my 2,000-square-foot house to 6,000 square feet by adding four stories on top. Just think of the construction jobs, the extra property taxes, and there should only be a slight increase in traffic on my street. Clearly the mayor and City Council will endorse these city and community benefits, as was the case with One Paseo. In fact, we should all do this! Now! Today!

The votes are in on the proposed new Del Mar Civic Center, and the voters voted overwhelmingly by a 2-to-1 margin first choice for Option #3, the Leeger Watkins Village Square concept. A plan that adheres to Del Mar’s Master Community Plan, which states, “A plan organized around outdoor courtyards and plazas to serve as public gathering places.” Our concept envisioned more than just a City Hall. The vision was for a vibrant Civic Center designed around a Grand Plaza to serve as a gathering place for the entire community to enjoy. A special place for multiple social, cultural and holiday interactive community events. A plan with future options for restaurants to serve and activate the Plaza in the evenings and enliven the south end of the Village. A plaza large enough to properly accommodate the Farmers Market and provide space for future options such as an art gallery, space for the performing arts or the historic Alvarado House. This was the Leeger Watkins Village Square concept, which you, as the voters, overwhelmingly supported. The result is the Village will have a very vibrant Civic Center that is the gathering place for all residents to take pride and enjoy for decades to come. We thank you, Del Mar residents.

Carmel Valley planning board elections set; former member Farinsky returning to ballot BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley Community Planning Board will hold elections March 26 for seven neighborhood representative seats at the Carmel Valley Library. None of the seats is contested, although each candidate must receive one vote. One new face will be on the ballot for Neighborhood 10: resident Anna Yentile, who has 10 years of experience in planning and works for the city of Encinitas. Yentile will be up for the seat vacated by longtime board member Laura Copic, who has termed out of the board. Board member Nancy Novak, representative for Neighborhood 3, announced at the Feb. 26 meeting that she is resigning from her seat after six years of service. Ken Farinsky, a former board member, said he would be running again to take her place. Other seats up for election include Neighborhood 1: Rick Newman; Neighborhood 5: Debbi Lokanc; Neighborhood 6: Chris Moore; Pacific Highlands Ranch Neighborhood 12: Jonathan Tedesco; and Investor Representative: Brian Brady. Chair Frisco White announced he had accepted a resignation from Neighborhood 7 representative Steven Ross on Feb. 24 so that seat is now vacant. Neighborhood 7 is north of Del Mar Heights, the areas around Torrey Pines High School off Hartfield Drive and Lansdale Drive. The election will be held from 6:15-6:45 p.m. March 26. White also noted that new board bylaws are being updated, which will include a new seat representing the unrepresented city jurisdiction areas in the San Dieguito River Valley known as “subarea II.” The area includes Flower Hill Promenade, and communities along Via de la Valle such as Santa Fe Downs, neighborhoods around the San Diego Polo Field and Fairbanks Ranch Country Club, south of San Dieguito Road and west of Rancho Diegueno Road. The new bylaws will also include a rule change regarding meeting excusals. Board members will no longer be excused from meetings; they will be dismissed if they miss three consecutive meetings or four meetings within 12 months.

She was a senior staff technologist at St. Vincent Hospital from 1970 to 1980. Haydu relocated to Del Mar with her late husband, Dr. Paul Haydu. In Del Mar, Haydu was a stay-at-home mother, raising two daughters. She became active in the community, serving on the Del Mar San Dieguito Lagoon Committee and the Del Mar Heights Elementary Site Council. She is a member of Run Women Run and the Del Mar Garden Club. “I understand the mission statement of the district, but I’m also committed to the mission of the surrounding cities,” said Haydu, who is moving to Solana Beach at the end of March. “Being part of the community relations committee, I saw that we could work together.” In September, before Haydu’s departure from the council, council members recommended she serve on the board of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the state-owned Del Mar Fairgrounds. At that time, Deputy Mayor Al Corti, now mayor of Del Mar, said Haydu possessed the “background, qualifications, and needed insight to represent the local communities and the broader San Diego region as a whole” on behalf of the council in a letter council members agreed to send to Sacramento. “As a City Council member since 2010, and a resident of Del Mar for 28 years, Mayor Haydu has been actively involved in city and regional issues,” Corti said in the letter. “She understands the importance of effectively managing this important regional asset.” Besides the letter of support from her fellow council members, Haydu also obtained support from State Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins (D-San Diego) and Sen. Marty Block (D-San Diego). Brown’s other appointee, Sleiman, 28, has been the founder and chief executive officer at Go Green Agriculture Inc. since 2009. He is also a member of the San Diego County Farm Bureau board of directors. Sleiman earned a master’s in business administration from the UC San Diego Rady School of Management. The two new board members will replace David Lizerbram, who stepped down last month when his term ended, and Adam Day, who submitted his letter of resignation on Feb. 27. Day previously served as president of the 22nd District Agricultural Association board, and was appointed last year by Brown to the California State University board of trustees. He also chairs San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer’s task force on the new Chargers stadium.

Through her work, Montes has countless stories of students she’s worked with who have gone on to succeed in college and in their careers. When Richard Huizar was denied federal financial aid and had to decline his acceptance to San Diego State University, she helped bring him to MiraCosta, where he was an honors scholar and president of the Soccer Club. He worked 30 hours a week at three campus jobs, yet still graduated with a 3.9 grade point average and was selected to give the commencement address at his graduation ceremony. At Montes’ encouragement, Huizar, whose family roots stem back to Eden Gardens, applied and was accepted to Massachusetts Institute of Technology, one of the nation’s top schools. “There are many students I’ve had the privilege to work with and guide along the way,” Montes said. “I love my job.

EDEN GARDENS The building heights varied from a little more than 30 feet to nearly the maximum allowable 35 feet. Some residents argued that the project would change the historical neighborhood, increase traffic and not provide adequate parking. The council continued the public hearing until September to allow then-developer Sea Breeze Properties to revise the project to better fit the community’s character. “This is Eden Gardens, a very special place,” Councilwoman Lesa Heebner, now mayor, said at the time. “I, frankly, am not very comfortable with the way it’s being developed.” In September, developers presented a scaled-down version of the project. Although council members and some residents received the changes positively, they argued it was still too large and incompatible with the community. The council denied the project without prejudice, allowing the applicant to submit redesigned plans without having to wait a year. Since then, project manager Joshua Lichtman has taken the reins as developer of the project, with the owner of Sea Breeze Properties becoming an investor. Lichtman and his team have worked closely with the community and further scaled down the project. They eliminated one of the structures and a dwelling unit, and lowered the building heights. During the Jan. 28 meeting, several residents praised Lichtman and his team for listening to the community and using their input. Nearly all speakers — some who once opposed the project — spoke in favor of the revised plans. Several others sent emails to the council in favor of the project. Most council members agreed the project was headed in the right direction, but some said it still needed some fine-tuning and continued the public hearing to the Feb. 25 meeting. Councilman Mike Nichols, for example, said he preferred where the front building was located in the previous design. Councilman Peter Zahn agreed and said the setback of the street-facing building was “extreme, harsh and abrupt.”

uses. Option A featured civic facilities only and about 60 surface parking spaces, while the other two options featured civic facilities plus additional parking and space for future development. Option B included about 160 parking spaces and roughly 11,000 square feet of future development area, whereas Option C included about 160 parking spaces and roughly 20,000 square feet of future development area. Of the 980 people who participated in the poll, 440 ranked Option C first, 274 preferred Option A and 244 preferred Option B. “This verifies what residents have told us over the past year,” said resident Kit Leeger, who with her father, Jim Watkins, designed a multi-use city hall concept at no cost to the city. “Residents told us they want more options, not less,” she said. “They wanted to bring life and vitality

When Lichtman and his team returned to the council last week, they presented a further scaled-down version of the project with the street-facing building set back farther from the sidewalk. Although Lichtman said it was financially “unfeasible” for his team to relocate a utility pole in front of the development, the redesigned plans allowed better access for pedestrians in other ways. With one foot already dedicated, the first floor of the mixed-use structure was set back 3 feet from the property line at the southwestern corner. The living area of the dwelling unit on the second story of the mixed-use building was also set back 8 feet. The finished floor of the commercial office or retail section of the mixed-use structure was lowered six inches, allowing access directly from the sidewalk from a walkway and eliminating the need for handrail extensions that would project into the vehicular or pedestrian circulation areas. Among other changes, the team also reduced the project’s overall square footage by 110 square feet. The dwelling unit in the mixed-use building was decreased by 134 square feet, while the office or retail space was increased by 24 square feet. “It has a warmer feel on the street,” Lichtman said. “It has less mass and scale when you’re walking down Valley Avenue.” Before the council’s vote, two Solana Beach residents spoke in favor of the project. “I think it’s a project of progress and I hope you’ll approve the project,” Adam Daniels said. “When I first heard about this project, I thought it sounded like a wonderful idea, truly a great addition to our community,” Brooke Klein said. “I think it can give individuals such as myself an opportunity to hopefully buy in this lovely city.” Also in favor of the latest changes, the council unanimously approved the project. “Thank you very much,” Heebner said. “I appreciate all the time and effort. I think when you look at the first rendition and you look at this, there is a huge difference. It is a much-improved project. It’s a very visible project in Eden Gardens, and I think we’ve got it right.”

to this end of the village. They desired a vibrant, interactive community center with activities for all to enjoy.” Other community members didn’t see the results as so clear-cut. In case there was a tie, the data was also presented as weighted results and instant run-off results. Weighted results are assigned three points to the first choice, two points to the second choice and one point to the third choice. The instant run-off results also showed Option C as the clear favorite. When adding weight to both the firstand second-place votes, however, Option B narrowly received the most overall points, despite receiving the fewest firstchoice selections. “I’m a little perplexed as to the weighted and the instant run-off, and where you go with it,” said resident Robin Crabtree. “I find it perplexing that you can use a poll like this to take the city down a direction of what we’re go-

ing to build,” said resident Bill Michalsky. “I’m very concerned about the results here and how they might be used by the council to take us forward. I think this is, essentially, a very problematic process.” Council members, however, saw the results clearly. With voters choosing either Option B or C as their first choice, about 70 percent expressed a preference for both additional parking and expandable space. “I think the poll is validation of what I thought I heard during the public workshops,” Mayor Al Corti said. “I think there’s a pretty clear mandate that people want the 160 parking spaces,” Councilman Dwight Worden said. The online poll was just one way the city sought input from community members on the project. Since Del Mar initiated the city hall planning process in June 2013, the council has discussed the project at dozens of council meet-

the city and community groups. We are seeking to restore the integrity of the community planning process and help ensure that no San Diego neighborhood has a similar oversized development forced upon it.” According to City Clerk Elizabeth Maland, once the petition is submitted, the signatures would have to be verified. If they are sufficient, the referendary petition would be presented to the City Council. Once the petition is presented, the council must reconsider the act in question within 10 business days. If the council refuses either to reconsider its decision or to grant the petition to repeal the act, the council must adopt a resolution to submit the matter to a vote of the people. Developer Kilroy Realty responded to the referendum effort with a statement: “The opponents of One Paseo made their case against the project for many months, and their case was full of falsehoods and unsupported opinions and fears. The City Council members each met with these opponents repeatedly and listened to their concerns and vetted them against the facts. We know they carefully considered objections to the project, because we responded to them with the strong, factual support of technical experts and city staff. Last week’s hearing was the culmination of months of careful study of facts by the council members, and the result was that a bipartisan supermajority of the City Council approved the project. “Now, project opponents are using the same demonstrably false rhetoric that was rejected by the City Council to overturn the decision by referendum. Like the $1.5 million lobbying effort against One Paseo, this enterprise is being funded by an Orange County corporation seeking to protect its narrow business interests. They’ll likely spend another $1 million trying to overturn the City Council’s thoughtful decision — and in the process block thousands of new jobs and housing in what will be the most sustainable project ever built in San Diego.”

Part of the Prop 39 application process is conducting an energy audit. The district applied to participate in SDG&E’s energy assessment and solutions program in 2014 and selected Alternative Energy Systems Consulting to perform a free energy audit, saving the district $40,000. The audit was completed between March and July 2014. According to Mike Galis, director of maintenance, operations and facilities, the schools were already fairly energy-efficient compared with other districts, but each campus was found to have similar energy-consumption and peak-demand problems. Galis said the auditors found that HVAC unit control and operation throughout the day was insufficient; energy use had large increases over a few peak hours per day; lights and HVAC units were often left on in unoccupied rooms; and doors were propped open while HVAC systems were operating. The typical school in the SDG&E territory has an energy use intensity of 6.45 kilowatt hours (kWh) per square foot. Because of their older HVAC system, Carmel Del Mar has an average energy-use intensity of 4.32 kWh, resulting in an average cost rate of .28 per kWh used, the highest in the district. Galis said the goal is to reduce the average cost of electricity with peak-demand reduction and energy-efficiency measures by installing an energy management system. The peak-demand charges have a higher impact on the average cost: When all HVAC units turn on at 8 a.m. when students arrive or during warm afternoons, new demand peaks are reached. The district plans to install a Carrier iVu energy management system to reduce those peak demand “spikes” at each school through preset demand controls. Galis said the system works by not allowing some units to turn on when peak demand is at a certain level, waiting until another unit is ready to turn off. This will keep peak demand below a certain threshold, he said. The Carrier iVu will be installed at Carmel Del Mar, Ocean Air, Sycamore Ridge and Torrey Hills, bringing them in line with the other district schools. The installation at these four schools alone will result in a savings of $19,000 and $31,000 at all eight schools. This summer, the new HVAC units will be installed at Carmel Del Mar. The units have motion sensors and controls to reduce overall energy consumption. Along with occupancy sensors for lighting at the school, the district could save $16,000 with the project. Galis said the district would also take advantage of an SDG&E rebate offered right now for LED installation. Current light fixtures use about 72-100 watts each and they will be replaced with longer-lasting 40 watt LED lighting, saving 32 to 60 watts per fixture. Del Mar Heights and Sage Canyon will get the LED upgrade for their 308 and 429 fixtures respectively, with occupancy sensors and dimming controls. The total estimated cost of all the Prop 39 work is $834,000.

ings, held three public workshops, issued a citywide survey, and most recently, launched the online poll. “You guys have spent the last year and a half talking with the community, getting the pulse of the community, doing workshops, polls and everything else,” said commercial property owner KC Vafiadis before the council’s vote. “Honestly, I believe you guys were elected by the people of this town because they trust your judgment and that you guys will do what’s best for this town. I say take the information you have, make a decision and let’s get on with it. I think you know everything you need to know.” After analyzing the poll results, staff recommended building a city hall complex that would include an approximately 9,250-square-foot administrative building, 3,200-squarefoot council chambers, television studio and emergency operations center, and a 15,000-square-foot plaza. The project, which would cost about $12.4 million to $16.4 million, would also feature 160 parking spaces and flexible space for future expansion. In a 4-0 vote with Deputy Mayor Sherryl Parks absent, the council agreed to pursue staff’s recommendation, while allowing the architects flexibility. City officials expect to hire an architectural team in April.

‘What impresses me about UCSD is that it has more of a sense of the imminence of the future than anywhere else I have seen,’ says Cristina Della Coletta, new dean of Arts & Humanities at UCSD. Photo by Erik Jepsen

New UCSD dean aims to strengthen arts in education BY WILL BOWEN If you add the letter “A” for Arts to the educational acronym STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) you get STEAM. Moving from STEM to STEAM by strengthening the role of the arts is the new buzz in education, where an interdisciplinary focus is growing and the traditional dichotomy between the arts and the sciences is fading fast. A native of Venice, Italy, Cristina Della Coletta hopes to contribute to the “renaissance” of STEAM learning as the new Dean of Arts & Humanities at UC San Diego. From her large-windowed office on the fourth floor of the Literature Building, Della Coletta has an expansive view of Warren Mall — all the way to the Stuart Art Collection’s “Snake Path,” which winds up the hill to the Geisel Library. She can also see the “Fallen Star,“ the little blue house perched on the corner of the top of the Engineering Building, as well as hundreds of students scurrying to their classes below, to whom she hopes to teach “durable skills in the arts and humanities … skills that can last a lifetime ... or longer.” “This is a phenomenal university,” she said, glancing back from the window during a recent interview. “It is a powerhouse which is growing at an extraordinary pace. If you look at the more traditional colleges, they just don’t have the interdisciplinary thrust that UCSD has become famous for. “Here there is a marriage of the theoretical and the practical; science meets up with the humanities. You see music theorists alongside music performers, art historians mingling with studio artists, engineers talking to literature professors. This great interdisciplinary focus is why I wanted to work here!” Before coming to UCSD, Della Coletta taught Italian at the University of Virginia and was its associate dean of arts and sciences. “What impresses me about UCSD is that it has more of See DEAN, page B23

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although Jay Parry grew up in San Diego County’s smallest city, her career led her to the biggest arena in television sports. A Del Mar native, Parry served as president and CEO of the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee. The group worked with Arizona stakeholders and the National Football League on Super Bowl XLIX, which set a record as the most-watched show in television history. “It was really an opportunity for the state to shine,” said Parry, who weeks later, is still recovering from the festivities, but found time to talk with her hometown paper. “Having an opportunity to work on something that has such a positive impact for Arizona was really exciting to me.” The Parry family home was on Ocean View Avenue, where Parry and her two sisters grew up and attended local schools. Parry’s father, the late William Parry, worked as a reporter and an editor for U-T San Diego, starting with the paper when it was still the Union. Her mother, the late Gloria “Brooks” Parry, was active in Del Mar politics and served on the 22nd District Agricultural Association Board of Directors, which oversees the San Diego County Fair and Del Mar Racetrack. Although Parry no longer lives in Del Mar, her sister Robin lives in San Diego and her sister Piper recently moved back to the region from Australia. “We definitely think of Del Mar as the homeland,” said Parry, who graduated from Torrey Pines High School. After high school, Parry earned a bachelor’s degree in finance with a minor in

She began her career in San Francisco at Young & Rubicam advertising before moving to Bank of America, where she had a 17-year career, holding a series of executive roles in San Francisco, San Diego, Phoenix and Dallas. Her last position with Bank of America was as executive vice president of the 10-state Central Region. Beginning in 2004, Parry served seven seasons as president and chief operating officer of the Phoenix Mercury, a professional basketball team in the Women’s National Basketball Association. She helped lead the organization to two WNBA championships in 2007 and 2009. In 2010, Parry was hired as senior vice president of brand and business development of the National Basketball Association franchise the Phoenix Suns, where she oversaw marketing, ticket sales, and digital and social media. After two seasons, Parry left the Suns in 2012. Months later, she was named president and CEO of the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee. “It was exciting because it really suited my background of business and professional sports,” Parry said. Super Bowl XLIX was the state’s third Super Bowl, following the 2008 Super Bowl at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale and the 1996 Super Bowl at Sun Devil Stadium in Tempe. The state has also hosted several college championship football games, three NBA All-Star Games, two

Although Arizona has hosted a number of big events, hosting a Super Bowl is no small feat. Parry oversaw all aspects of the planning and execution of the 2015 Super Bowl. She recruited and led a 22-member fulltime staff, as well as 10 interns, who worked on the Big Game for roughly two years. The group raised $30 million from the private, public and tribal sectors to execute Arizona’s plan to maximize media exposure and create economic impact. “Building a team from the ground up and really creating this team of all-stars, I would say, was really exciting for me,” she said. “I really loved the teamwork aspect in collaborating with my staff and all of the stakeholders in Arizona ... to make sure that Arizona really (shone) on a global media stage.” Because the group also set out to ensure a lasting legacy for the state, the Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee, in partnership with the NFL Foundation, gave $2 million to 27 Arizona nonprofits. Funding benefited education, health and wellness, sustainability and overall community enhancement programs to improve the lives of local youth and families. The city also achieved a 73 percent waste-diversion rate at the Verizon Super Bowl Central festivities, a first in the city’s See SUPER BOWL, page B22

Bishop’s student hoping comedy stardom lies behind ‘Curtain’

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KRISTINA HOUCK A longtime fan of “Saturday Night Live,” Liam Gaarder-Feingold hopes to one day star on the late-night comedy show. Until then, The Bishop’s School senior is getting his start on his high school’s stage. “I’m a big fan of ‘SNL,’” Liam said. “I’ve always had a fascination with writing comedy and thought, ‘I can do that.’” Along with his friend, senior Jack Kimmel, Liam began cowriting and co-directing a sketch comedy last spring. “Behind the Polyester Curtain” made its debut Feb. 27, with two additional shows Feb. 28 at the La Jolla school’s Black Box Theater. “This is the first time I’ve ever done anything like this,” Liam said before the opening. “It’s been interesting.” Having written jokes and sketches since he was an eighthgrader, Liam began creating his own stand-up comedy routines two years later. Since then, he has performed stand-up comedy six times at the school’s talent shows. Now that he’s 18, he hopes to perform at The Comedy Store in La Jolla. “My stand-up comedy focuses a lot on my self-deprecating humor,” he said. “I talk about me and the things I do. My sketches are more absurd or outlandish. I go for the shock valLiam Gaarder-Feingold ue.” The roughly 90-minute show featured 14 sketches and one musical number. Planning for the show began last April. In August, Liam and Jack recruited a 12-member cast, including six male and six female students from The Bishop’s School. All are sophomores, juniors or seniors. “We were looking for people who could be creative, who were enthusiastic, and who could think on their feet,” said Liam, who makes cameo appearances in the show, along with Jack. The script was under constant revision until three weeks ago, Liam said. Since December, the troupe met weekly to fine-tune the sketches and rehearse. While a lot of the jokes were meant for students, teachers and parents of The Bishop’s School, some were also written for the greater public. One sketch, for instance, is about a student who studies abroad in England for a semester. When she returns, she has a British accent. “I hope the audience thinks it’s funny,” Liam said. “I also hope it inspires others to follow their passion, and do something new and creative.” Although his sights are set on sketch comedy, Liam is very involved in several programs

Cast of ‘Behind the Polyester Curtain.’ at his school. An honor roll student, he is a varsity water polo player and a member of the mock trial team. He has also been a member of the student government and remains active in the school’s theater program. “I’ve always enjoyed making people laugh,” said Liam, who has been in a number of school plays since he was in seventh grade. “I tend to feed off the audience.” After high school, Liam hopes to go to college in Los Angeles, where he plans to audition for The Groundlings, an improv and sketch comedy troupe and school that launched the careers of such performers as Jon Lovitz, Lisa Kudrow, Phil Hartman, Will Ferrell and Taran Killam — one of his favorite “SNL” cast members. “It’s a totally new experience for me, but it’s something I definitely want to try to do in the future,” Liam said about the show. “I’m very passionate about it. Eventually, the big dream is to go on ‘SNL.’”

Singer-songwriter brings passion for folk music to Encinitas event BY ROB LEDONNE He’s been praised by the likes of Johnny Cash and Pete Seeger, and come March 21, singer-songwriter John McCutcheon takes his folk act to the San Dieguito United Methodist Church in Encinitas. “The luxury of being a soloist is that I can take these short trips around the country whenever I want,� McCutcheon said from his home in Smoke Rise, Ga., which is just outside Atlanta. “Also, I’m able to keep my shows fresh. I can ad-lib and take requests, and that makes it more fun for the audience and more fun for me.� McCutcheon should know how to ‘When I get out of bed every morning, I can’t keep it fresh. In his 43rd year as a pro- wait to do my job,’ says singer John fessional singer-songwriter, he has navMcCutcheon. Courtesy photo igated a changing music industry while retaining the same amount of passion he had when he was first starting out. “When I get out of bed every morning, I can’t wait to do my job,� said McCutcheon, who besides performing folk is also an accomplished producer, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and passionate consumer of music history. “Even though I’m on the verge of releasing my 37th album, I feel like I have never written, performed, or played better than I am now. I still feel like that 20-year-old college student.� It was when McCutcheon was attending a small university in the Minnesota area that he asked his college adviser if he could go on a three-month sabbatical performing music. His advisor said yes, and those three months turned into an entire career. “It was a three-month adventure to meet people who played the banjo as a way of life, not a hobby,� McCutcheon said. “I was blessed with the audacity of youth.� His latest album, which isn’t officially released until May but will be on hand as an exclusive preview during his show in Encinitas, is meant to honor the late Joe Hill, who was one of the first satirical lyricists in music history. “He wrote for an early 20th-century labor union,� McCutcheon said of the late folk singer, who died exactly 100 years ago this November. “Pete Seeger used to sing some of his songs, and I thought that since it’s been a century since he passed, someone should honor his memory.� As a result, McCutcheon poured “hundreds of hours� into the production of an album that rerecorded Hill’s music for an entirely new audience. “Most people don’t know him at all, but working in music isn’t always about hitting the right notes,� McCutcheon said of keeping Hill’s legacy alive. “It’s more than that.� McCutcheon is no stranger to performing in North County. For many years, he regularly appeared at the Old Time Cafe, a mecca for folk music formerly located in Leucadia, which closed in 1987. Since then, the organization San Diego Folk Heritage has continued holding folk shows in place of the legendary cafe. “The core of the audience in San Diego knows me well,� McCutcheon said. “I’ve played for the same group of people for 30 years. The reward for traveling to San Diego, and around the country, is that you get to play music. “

Let’s Review: ‘Chapter Two’ takes playful poke at love on its second time around BY LOIS ALTER MARK North Coast Rep opened a four-week run of “Chapter Two,� Saturday night, the play that launched the Solana Beach theatre company back in 1982. There’s something ironic and fitting about the company going back to its roots with this aptly named production 33 years later. The Neil Simon classic debuted on Broadway in 1977 and was nominated for four Tony awards, including Best Play. Two years later, the playwright’s semi-autobiographical story was turned into a movie starring James Caan and Marsha Mason — who, as Simon’s second wife, was actually the inspiration for the female lead and who was nominated for both an Academy Award and a Golden Globe for her performance. According to North Coast Rep Artistic Director David Ellenstein, who stars in and co-directed “Chapter Two� with Christopher Williams, “There has been a ‘rediscovery,’ as it were, of the comedic skills, dramatic situation and great dialogue that propelled Neil Simon to become perhaps the most-produced playwright of the 20th century. There seems to be a full-out comeback for Mr. Simon’s canon of work.� Maybe it’s a longing for a simpler, pre-Internet time when people actually spoke to each other and their sentences contained more than 140 characters. Both the story and the time period hold a cherished place in the hearts of a generation, and this new production brings its audience right back to 1979, evoking a sense of nostalgia that baby boomers in particular will appreciate. In the four-character play, George Schneider (Ellenstein) is a recently widowed New York City writer whose

“THE WEEK THAT CHANGED THE WORLD�

David Ellenstein and Jacquelyn Ritz star in Neil Simon’s ‘Chapter Two’ at North Coast Repertory Theatre. press agent brother, Leo (Louis Lotorto), is determined to get him back out into the world — and into the dating market. On the other side of town, actress Jennie Malone (Jacquelyn Ritz) has just gotten divorced, and her best friend, Faye (Mhari Sandoval), is trying to get her to move on and find someone new. Although neither George nor Jennie has any interest in meeting each other, they accidentally end up talking on the phone — and, after a choppy start, that’s when the story really comes alive. It gets to the audience and keeps them hooked through the ups and downs of the pair’s whirlwind romance, fast marriage and subsequent problems. There’s no question that the play itself feels dated. George writes on a typewriter and talks about spending $50 an hour for therapy and having a Fresca in the TWA lounge. Jennie’s Pucci print dress would now be considered vintage, and Simon’s one-liners have an old-fashioned Borscht Belt charm. In fact, on opening night, the biggest laugh came when Lotorto tripped over the cord of George’s desk phone and, on his way out the door, turned around and ad-libbed, “Hey, and buy a new cordless phone, OK?� It was as if he had addressed the elephant in the room, and everyone could now just sit back and enjoy. The four actors — all of whom NCRT regulars will recognize — are excellent. Ellenstein and Ritz have a natural rapport best showcased during the couple’s initial phone conversations, which are warm and funny and set the foundation for their future together. Those scenes work especially well thanks to a fantastic set design by Marty Burnett, which splits the stage into his and her Manhattan apartments. The ’70s are powerfully brought back to life through the dead-on details provided by lighting designer Matt Novotny, costume designer Alina Bokovikova, sound designer Chris Luessmann, properties designer/set dresser Benjamin Cole, hair and wig designer Peter Herman and scenic artist John Finkbiner. Dealing with love, grief and second chances, Simon’s story is timeless and universal. Despite technological advances and sites like Match.com, dating hasn’t changed See CHAPTER TWO, page B22

Artist/inventor to be guest speaker at AAUW meeting set for March 14

Solana Beach church has a heart for missions The North Coast Fellowship of Solana Beach designated February as ‘Have a Heart Month’ and raised money to support global missionary work. They are supporting (in photo above) Gabriel and Isabel Periera Das Neves, missionaries in Colombia, who formed a foundation called ‘Llena Mi Taza,’ or ‘fill my cup.’ They feed the children in Barbosa Antioquia, Colombia. NCF’s David and Antonia Quinones, are inviting residents of North County to donate any clothing whether new or no longer worn, to neighbors in-need, who live in Tijuana. Each week, on Wednesdays and after the Sunday service, the Quinones bring clothing and other staples to families who live across the border. They demonstrate the adage that everyone and anyone can be a “minister.” The church wants to make a special mention of the work that Ralph Aspeytia provides for inmates at the Donovan State Prison. For several years, Ralph has ministered to many of the thousands who have been incarcerated. Knowing that everyone deserves a “second chance” and an opportunity to change their lives, he brings understanding, caring, and the Gospel of well wishes from the congregation of NCF. In the past, and throughout 2015, Ralph also has brought thousands of dozens of sweets and home-baked cookies that the women of the church have baked to show their compassion and well-wishes. The monthly Food Bank, where residents with financial need receive free nutritional staples, is now scheduled for the third Tuesday of each month. Over 26,000 lbs. were given out in 2014. For information about Thursday’s Bible Study, volunteering services, and the youth programs offered, please call: 858-481-9911

Cindy Posa used to own a child-care business but closed it after the economy plummeted. Angie Gange is a former Carmel Valley mortgage broker who wants to send her three teenage sons to college. Michelle Martin is a former information technology executive who quit her job to spend time with her five children. These women come from all walks of life, however, they have one thing in common — Moms Making Six Figures, a company started by local resident Heidi Bartolotta to allow women to stay at home and either replace or supplement their income. And yes, they really do make six figures, she said. Bartolotta said her team of about 40 is comprised of women from very different education levels and backgrounds, as well as different personalities and work styles.

The Del Mar-Leucadia Branch of the American Association of University Women will feature an award-winning artist and inventor at its March 14 meeting from 10 a.m. to noon at the Encinitas Community Center, 1140 Oakcrest Park Drive.

DM-SB Rotarians learn more about Pegasus Rising Project at new site Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotarians recently visited the new site of the Pegasus Rising Project, an all-volunteer nonprofit that the club is supporting. Pegasus Rising enlists the aid of horses in helping veterans heal from post-traumatic stress disorder and traumatic brain injury, and reintegrate into their civilian and family lives. The visit was to Rotarians and volunteers interact with a few of the horses at acquaint additional the Pegasus Rising Project’s new center, with a view of the surroundings near Lake Wohlford, east of Escondido. Rotary members with Pegasus Rising’s new site near Lake Wohlford and the veterans who were benefiting there. While club members may have been a little uncertain about the program’s value when first introduced to Pegasus Rising several years ago, each visit there with the volunteers and veterans has reinforced the good work that Pegasus Rising does. As one volunteer (who has helped feed and muck the horses for six years) has said, “It’s an amazing feeling to be a part of helping the people who (have helped) protect our country.” All Rotary members who returned from the visit agreed that this is a worthy cause to support with funding and individual volunteer time. Find more about The Pegasus Rising Project, including its April 18 estate sale, at pegasusrising.org and at www.facebook.com/pages/The-Pegasus-Rising-Project/129058816745.

SPONSORED COLUMNS DR. VAN CHENG San Diego Vein Institute 760.994.9263

Common Myths About Varicose Veins Varicose and spider veins are extremely common, affecting more than a quarter of the population. Unfortunately, however, most people are not properly educated about the causes, treatments and potential dangers of chronic venous disease. Here are seven of the most common misconceptions about varicose veins. 1. Varicose veins are only cosmetic. This is probably the most widespread misconception about varicose veins. But

this is certainly not true. Varicose veins are a result of venous insufficiency. And along with the bulging veins, you may also feel fatigue and your legs may be achy, swollen, itchy or restless. If left untreated, the condition may worsen and further threaten your health. 2. Varicose veins are not really dangerous to your health. Again, this is simply not true. Leaving any medical condition untreated is dangerous. If varicose veins are not properly taken care of, they maybe rupture and bleed, you may develop phlebitis, or they may contribute to Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) which is a very serious condition. You should respect and take care of your vein health like you do any other part of your body. 3. Varicose veins only occur in women. While it is true that varicose veins occur more frequently in women, it is certainly not restricted to women. In fact, nearly 25% of all people suffering from varicose veins are men.

4. Varicose veins only occur in the legs. This is not true. Varicose or spider veins can actually occur in the hands, arms, chest or face. But our treatment options are able to eliminate varicose or spider veins wherever they might appear. 5. Treatment for varicose veins is painful. Especially stripping procedures. Advances in technology has made it so this statement is not true at all. Stripping is an invasive, out-dated form of treatment that we do not use. In some cases, we use a laser treatment that has a patented cryogen cooling system that anesthetizes the skin before, during, and after treatment. In other cases, we use Ultrasound-foam sclerotherapy, which is over 98% effective. It is also virtually painless and carries little to no side effects, In fact, our treatment is an outpatient procedure, and afterwards, you can immediately drive yourself home and return to your daily activities.

6. I will have to wear compression socks for the rest of my life. While compression socks are a great part of preventative care when it comes to varicose veins, after seeking professional treatment to eliminate varicose veins, compression socks should not longer be needed. 7. Treatment won’t be covered by my insurance. While most people assume this, it is many times not the case. This assumption is usually tied to the misconception that varicose veins are merely cosmetic. But if you are unsure about your coverage, check with your insurance company. You might be surprised by what is covered when it comes to your vein health.

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: The Estates at Del Mar (EA14-001) Project Location: 929 Border Avenue, Del Mar CA, 92014 (APN: 298-241-06, 298-24107, 299-030-14) Zoning/Land Use: Low Density Residential (R140), Bluff, Slope, and Canyon Overlay Zone , Coastal Bluff Overlay Zone, Beach Overlay Zone, Lagoon Overlay Zone Lead Agency: City of Del Mar Staff Contact: Matt Bator, AICP, Senior Planner, Phone: (858) 7559313, Email: mbator@delmar.ca.us Project Setting and Description: The project site is located at 929 Border Avenue in Del Mar, California and is situated southwest of the intersection of Camino Del Mar (Highway 101) and Villa De La Valle. The site is comprised of three existing parcels (APNS: 298-241-06; 298-241-07; 299-030-14) consisting of a total of approximately 6.9 acres. Approximately 6.2 acres of the site are located on the west side of Camino del Mar, situated on an approximate 75-foot-high bluff top that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. A portion of Parcel APN 298-24107 is located on the West side of Camino del Mar and another small portion is located east of Camino Del Mar and became a remnant of said parcel when the Camino Del Mar/Highway 101 right-of-way was developed. Existing improvements on the site west of Camino del Mar consist of vacant two-story woodframed house, a pool and pool house, gazebo and terrace area

along the bluff top, and landscaping with trees, hedges, and gardens. The remnant portion located east of Camino del Mar is vacant and slopes steeply down to the east, to an area of salt water marsh. The proposed project would involve the subdivision of the property into 5 individual single-family residential lots west of Camino del Mar, with access off Border Avenue, and one non-buildable lot consisting of the .66 acre portion of the site located east of Camino del mar. Three of the lots would front the coastal bluff to the west and the other two lots would overlook Camino Del Mar on the eastern half of the property. Access to the residential lots would be attained from an existing drive within the Camino del Mar rightof-way that connects to Border Avenue and parallels the improved portion of Camino Del Mar. The access drive consists of a 24-footwide paved roadway that would serve the subdivision. The roadway would continue to provide access to an existing single-family home that borders the proposed subdivision to the south. Sewer, water, electrical, and other utility lines planned to serve the subdivision will be placed within the private access drive. Improvements to Border Avenue would be constructed to improve safety at the entrance to private access drive. No entitlements for the construction of homes are being sought at this time. Grading would be performed to create relatively flat building pads for each of the five buildable lots, consisting of cuts and fills on the order of 6 feet and 12 feet, respectively at western portion of the buildable portion subdivision

and approximately 3 and 17 feet high, respectively, at the eastern portion of the building sites. The project proposes a balanced grading plan consisting of approximately 14,000 cubic yards of cut and 14,000 cubic yards of fill. Removal of an undetermined number of trees, including Monterey Cypress trees protected under City ordinance, would occur to accommodate grading and the placement of utilities and access improvements. This removals would be subject to the City of Del Mar’s Tree Removal Permit process with approvals subject to mitigation measures. To clean, collect, and redirect drainage waters generated by the Project and subsequent single-family homes, the Project would construct bioretention basins within each of the five residential lots. Storm water and runoff from hardscape areas within the subdivision would be collected and treated in the bioretention basins. Water that does not percolate into the ground would be detained on-site within a [storm water] storage facility prior to being conveyed, via an 18-inch pipeline to an existing city storm drain west Camino del Mar. 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: City

of Del Mar, Community Planning and Community Development, 1050 Camino Del Mar, Del Mar, CA 92014. These environmental documents may also be reviewed in electronic format by visiting the City of Del Mar website at www.delmar.ca.us. Written comments will be accepted from March 5, 2015 to April 3, 2015. The Initial Mitigated Negative Declaration and Initial Study will be circulated for a 30 day review period. Written comments will be accepted by the City of Del Mar Planning and Community Development Department until 4:30 p.m. on the ending date of the public review period. Where to Send Comments: Any person wishing to comment on the adequacy of these documents must submit comments in writing at the following address: City of Del Mar, Attn: Matt Bator, Senior Planner, 1050 Camino del Mar, Del Mar, CA 92014 Public Hearings Scheduled: It is anticipated that the Planning Commission will consider this Mitigated Negative Declaration, all written comments received by February 28, 2015, and the project at its meeting of April 14, 2015, at 6:00 p.m. A [separate] public hearing notice will be made available prior to that meeting.

history of hosting high-profile events. “It was the first time an event of this size had been undertaken,” Parry said. “We think that was a really good benchmark for future events and activities associated with the Super Bowl.” This year, the state also hosted the Pro Bowl, which in recent decades has taken place in Hawaii. “The Super Bowl gets bigger and bigger every year,” said Parry, who observed the games in New Jersey and New Orleans the previous two years. “The host committee acts as a hub and the catalyst to bring everybody together, galvanize the local stakeholders and work in partnership with the NFL. There are a lot of moving parts.” After two years of hard work, Parry felt “huge relief” when the big day finally arrived on Feb. 1. A record number of people watched the New England Patriots defeat the Seattle Seahawks in the 28-24 game. NBC set a U.S. television record with 114.4 million viewers — up 2.2 million from the previous record, set at last year’s Seahawks-Broncos matchup. “Start to finish, the experience, the entertainment, was fantastic,” Parry said. “The game was also one of the most exciting Super Bowls of all time, so that was nice icing on the cake.” Although the game is now one for the books and the NFL season has long since ended, Parry and her team are still tying up loose ends. The Arizona Super Bowl Host Committee is conducting an economic impact study with Arizona State University. Based on an economic impact report from Super Bowl XLII in 2008, the committee estimates the event had an economic impact of more than $500 million in Glendale. The study should be completed by May, June at the latest, Parry said. At the same time, Parry is helping her staff find new jobs. She is also looking forward to her next chapter. “I’m just open to whatever comes next,” she said.

much in all these years; and audiences will relate when George and Jennie agree, “No matter how old you get, this never gets easier.” They’ll also empathize with George’s inability to stop mourning the loss of his wife and will understand when he says, “Let’s take it one night at a time.” “Chapter Two” is certainly enjoyable and will probably appeal most to an older audience. If you’re looking for a modern touch, though, well, that only comes before the show starts, when everyone is asked to turn off their cellphones. You can bet that never happened during the original production. “Chapter Two” runs through March 29 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

Got goat milk? The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Dear Kitchen Shrink: I have trouble doing dairy, whether it’s a sensitivity to cow’s milk or a lactose intolerance. I’ve tried nondairy alternatives, everything from soy, almond and cashew milks to oat, rice and hemp, but they don’t seem to have the taste or texture I crave. Any suggestions for yet other alternatives would be much appreciated. — Julie Costello, La Jolla Get your Goat A member of the Bovidae family, whose relatives include sheep, cows, deer and antelope, goats were the first animals to be domesticated by humans circa 10,000 B.C., and to be used for their milk. Here’s why: Goat’s milk contains a different strain of the protein casein, along with less lactose (milk sugars), both culprits in cow’s milk that cause gut disturbances, including bloating, gas and diarrhea. This double boon makes goat’s milk tolerable to many people who have sensitivities, allergies or lactose intolerance to moo milk. Goat’s milk is naturally homogenized, meaning it has smaller fat molecules, as well as softer and smaller casein curd than cow’s milk, making it closer to human milk in its composition, and more easily digestible. While goat’s milk can be digested within 20 minutes, the cow counterpart can take three or more hours to digest, fermenting in the large intestine, wreaking havoc on the poor gut. Nutritionally, goat’s milk contains more essential fatty acids than cow’s milk for cellular development; 13 percent more calcium for boosting bone health, particularly for warding off osteoporosis in menopausal women; 47 percent more vitamin A for ocular and skin health; 25 percent more vitamin B-6 to dial up cardiovascular, nerve and immune systems; a load more of the mighty vitamin D warrior for calcium absorption and

Goat’s milk cheese is naturally homogenized, making it more easily digestible. Photo courtesy Jimbo’s ... Naturally! cancer prevention; fluid-balancing potassium, and important trace minerals, such as copper, antioxidant manganese, heart-healthy magnesium and anti-carcinogenic selenium. Free-range herbivore grazers, goats nibble on a diet of natural vegetation, and don’t do drugs — including bovine growth hormone (BGH) and antibiotics, typical injectables for conventional cattle. Finally, chalk up another point for goat’s milk, since it is alkaline, while cow’s milk is acidic, the latter contributing to heartburn or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), particularly with the consumption of sour cream, ice cream and other rich dairy products.

Goat Goodies Goat’s milk can be enjoyed fresh refrigerated, in powdered form, or evaporated in a can. Try cultured goat’s milk kefir, a refreshing and somewhat tart probiotic immuneboosting powerhouse, fruity yogurts, lightly salted butter or the variety of cheeses from creamy chevre (French for goat), raw milk feta, and mozzarella to cheddar, Muenster or Colby-Jack. Goat’s milk and other spin-off products are as scrumptious in sweet breakfast dishes and desserts as they are in savory appetizers, side dishes, soups, salads and entrees. Bake a batch of cranberry goat’s milk cheese scones, or whip up goat’s milk frittatas or quiches. Blend chilled goat’s milk yogurt soups with melons, berries, cucumbers or avocados, or a silky green goat’s milk kefir smoothie. Toss Greek or Cobb salads with crumbled goat’s milk feta, or concoct bruschettas with Kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes and melted goat’s milk mozzarella, along with pizzas and flatbreads, stuffed shells or lasagna, chicken breasts Cordon bleu-style or marinated with plain goat’s milk yogurt for tender tandoori. For sweet endings, try a riff on carrot cake with a goat’s milk cream cheese icing, lemon or classic New York style cheesecake, flans, parfaits or sorbets. Some people will find the taste of goat milks and cheeses unusual and slightly musky, so scope out brands with milder flavors, like products from the breed of Nigerian dwarfs. Heirloom Tomato and Goat Cheese Salad 4 large assorted heirloom tomatoes, sliced 1/3 red onion, sliced paper-thin Handful of fresh basil leaves 4 ounces crumbled goat’s milk feta cheese 4 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons white balsamic vinegar Coarse sea salt and pepper to taste Method: Arrange tomato and onion slices on a serving platter. Sprinkle with basil leaves and cheese. Drizzle with olive oil and vinegar. Finish with salt and pepper. Serves 4. For additional goat milk or cheese recipes, email kitchenshrink@san.rr.com.

Two new exhibits in March at SD Art Museum The San Diego Museum of Art announces the opening of two exhibitions starting March 28: “Divine Desire: Printmaking, Mythology and the Birth of the Baroque,” and “Lalla Essaydi: Photographs, 2005–13.” “Divine Desire: Printmaking, Mythology and the Birth of the Baroque”: Featuring more than 70 exquisite engravings produced in Northern Europe and Italy in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, this exhibition features prints by leading artists of the era including Hendrick Goltzius, Jacob Matham and Albrecht Dürer. The exhibition is composed primarily of works from The San Diego Museum of Art’s Permanent Collection, home to a high-quality printmaking collection; on view from March 28 to June 30. “Lalla Essaydi: Photographs, 2005-13”: This show features 10 large-scale photographs from Moroccan-born, New York–based photographer Lalla Essaydi. The internationally acclaimed artist is known for her work exploring the issues surrounding the role of women in Arab culture and their representations in the Western European artistic tradition.

a sense of the imminence of the future than anywhere else I have seen,” she said. “Here, the present is related to the past, but not subservient to it, and the focus is on becoming something new. People are willing to take risks and are full of curiosity about what is behind the next corner. What powers it all is diversity. Diversity of race, ethnicity, age, sexual orientation and interest.” She said there are three things she hopes to accomplish as Dean of Arts & Humanities. “The first is to expand the humanities to have a more global perspective,” she said. “Second, I want to encourage more collaboration between the arts and sciences — especially in the study of larger cultural areas or global issues, such as global warming or migration and immigration. Third, I want to bring more focus to practical ethics or how we should approach topics like genetics, big data and biomedicine.” Della Coletta also hopes to bring more residents from the surrounding communities to the campus for lectures and events, and send out more teachers to the local schools to instruct about special topics. Her Italian upbringing in picturesque Venice has left an indelible impression on her and how she views things. She is the only child of an electrical engineer and an accountantturned-homemaker. “We lived in an apartment, like everyone else,” she said. “My father worked for a corporation in the Marghera industrial area. Everyone knew everyone else. It was a safe place. I loved to roam the island. I remember it as a very happy world.” After high school, Della Coletta went to college at the University of Venice. “My second year, I got a scholarship to go to any UC school I wanted to as an exchange student. I chose UCLA, so I could to study with Professor Martha Banta, who was a specialist in the study of Henry James, an author I admired.” At UCLA, she lived off campus with other foreign exchange students and struggled to learn English. She also met Mike Thrift (now an environmental lawyer), whom she would eventually marry after a long-term long-distance relationship. The couple have two children, a son at the University of Virginia and a daughter at La Jolla High School. After a year at UCLA, Della Coletta went back to Venice to finish college, and then chose the University of Virginia because it was one of the few places that would accept graduate students in the middle of the year. As it turned out, U of V was a very comfortable place for Della Coletta because of the extensive use of the Italian-influenced architectural style known as “palazzo.” There were tall white columns everywhere that made her feel at home. There, Della Coletta switched her focus to Italian literature and taught Italian for the language department. Della Coletta and her husband-to-be decided they would both go to the same college for graduate study. That turned out to be UCLA, which accepted her to study Italian and him to study law. At UCLA, Della Coletta turned her doctoral research into a book about how historical fiction can offer a unique perspective for examining history. She has also written about Italian world fairs, and the transition of books into movies, such as the transformation of the American novel, “The Postman Always Rings Twice,” into the Italian film, “Ossessione.” — Cristina Della Coletta can be reached by email at dean-ah@ucsd.edu.
