City clerk retires after 25 years By Bianca Kaplanek
PADDLE OUT FOR KIRK
Dave Passmore, left, father of Kirk Passmore, talks with a surfer following a paddle out in Kirk’s memory. On Nov. 13, Kirk went missing while big wave surfing on the North Shore of Hawaii. Kirk, 32, was well-known in the Carlsbad area, where he grew up. Several surfers took to the waters off of Tamarack State Beach for the Nov. 23 paddle out. Another paddle out was also scheduled in Hawaii, where Kirk had lived full time since 2012. Family and friends said he always had a passion for the ocean. More photos on page A21.

Lack of funds threatens closure of abuse, sexual assault center By Rachel Stine
REGION — Palomar Health’s Forensic Health Services Department is the only place in North County where police can take children who have been abused, women who have been raped and other victims of violent crime to be interviewed and examined. But the department may be shut down in a matter of weeks if the center is unable to raise $95,000 by Dec. 31, and be able to keep raising hundreds of thousands of dollars for years to come.

DEL MAR — After more than 25 years, most of them as city clerk, Mercedes Martin is retiring on Dec. 2. “I feel very lucky,” Martin said at her last City Council meeting on Nov. 18, during which she was presented with a resolution honoring her “exemplary service to the city.” “Del Mar has been very good to me,” she added. “I’ve really enjoyed the many years I’ve been here.” Originally from Kansas City, Kan., Martin’s significant other “pulled us out here” in 1988. “I wasn’t too thrilled about living in California,” she said. “But I decided if I was going to move I was going to finish college. I had gone to school on and off but never earned my degree.” Martin, Don Christiansen and son Eric, who was 2 at the time, settled in Carlsbad, where they still live. In March of that year she was hired as the Planning Department secretary. “Jim Sandoval was the planning director at the time,” she recalled. “I think he hired me because I was familiar with the word pro-

Encinitas moves on Questions over ex-DA’s possible conflict with local plastic bag of interest in murder trial linger in court ban ordinance By Rachel Stine
By Jared Whitlock
ENCINITAS — The City Council opted last week to place the fate of a plastic bag ban in local hands, rather than those of state legislators. With council members Mark Muir and Kristin Gaspar opposed, the council voted 3-2 to direct staff to develop a citywide plastic bag ordinance. The ordinance will go in front of the council for an up or down vote sometime next year. A week earlier, the City Council approved a resolution supporting legislation for a statewide ban. Authored by Sen. Alex Padilla, the lawmaker intends to introduce the bill in January 2014. But Deputy Mayor Lisa Shaffer said that she’s not as optimistic as most are that Padilla’s legislation will pass, making a local ordinance important. But in the event the statewide bill is adopted, Encinitas would likely abandon its own ordinance before city staff members have the chance to dedicate time and money to it. “I think it’s in the interest of the environment, which can’t wait until the state gets its act together,” Shaffer said. Gaspar said she’s in favor of the statewide ban route, because it puts cities on an even playing field and doesn’t pit “community versus community.” Once the California legislature votes on the ban, Encinitas should proceed from there, she added. “For me, timing is of the essence here,” Gaspar said. “I’d like to see how Padilla’s bill plays out, and then consider whether an ordinance is appropriate for Encinitas.” Muir raised concerns that the city might have to complete an environmental impact report (EIR) to move forward with a plastic bag ban. Similar worries have cropped up before. In 2008, Encinitas moved to eliminate plastic bags, but reversed course when facing a costly EIR. City Attorney Glenn Sabine noted experts are saying it’s “highly unlikely” cities with fewer than 100,000 people like Encinitas will be required to submit an EIR in light of recent case law. Notably, the California Supreme Court ruled about
two months ago that Marin County, Calif. did not have to submit an EIR to prohibit plastic bags. Three public speakers, all in favor of a local ban, spoke at the meeting. Roger Kube, chair of the San Diego Surfrider Foundation, said plastic pollution wreaks havoc on land and waterways. Eliminating plastic bags locally is a “crucial first step” toward addressing the problem. “Perhaps we’ll see a statewide bag ban bill next year, maybe we won’t,” Kube said. “But Encinitas should not wait for that to happen.” He added that the California bill is “watered down” compared to the Encinitas’ draft ban proposal. The state ban would apply to food-serving stores that gross more than $2 million per year in sales and large retailers. The Encinitas draft version, however, would take effect in nearly all grocery stores and retailers, and eventually also for most other businesses and farmers’ markets. Restaurants would be exempt. Councilman Tony Kranz agreed that the state bill has “some holes in it.” Encinitas should show leadership with a ban and hopefully coastal communities like Carlsbad and Oceanside will follow suit, he added. Early this year, the council asked the Encinitas Environmental Commission to draw up the loose framework for a ban. In response, the commission’s recommendations, similar to Solana Beach’s ban, call for eliminating plastic bags at most businesses and charging consumers 10 cents per recycled paper bag. The intent behind the 10-cent fee is to steer customers away from purchasing paper bags (money collected stays with the business.) City staff members will build a full-blown ordinance around the commission’s recommendations. Once they start, it could take around three months to create. Bobby Virk, owner of the 7-11 on Coast Highway 101, said the store stopped offering customers plastic bags in 2008. “We have a beautiful coast, so I figured let’s try it out,” Virk said. “And it’s been overwhelmingly positive.”

VISTA — Former San Diego County District Attorney Paul Pfingst is facing accusations in court that he altered evidence during the murder investigation of Jason Harper by his wife Julie Harper. Pfingst is representing Julie Harper in the trial. The prosecution asserted in a motion filed on Sept. 16 that Pfingst improperly handled Harper’s “get away bag” and removed thousands of dollars in cash before police seized the bag as evidence. The motion also states that Pfingst is holding onto Harper’s cell phone. The prosecution contends that Pfingst may have conflicts of interest defending Harper because of these actions and the possibility that he may need to testify against his client about the evidence he dealt with before the police. Addressing the matter during a hearing on Nov. 22, Pfingst repeatedly stated that he has done nothing wrong during the case’s investigation and court proceedings. “That’s a phony issue based on phony facts,” he said. Deputy District Attorney Keith Watanabe, who is prosecuting the case, stated that the State’s Attorney General has decided not to pursue an investigation into Pfingst’s actions, but argued that the court still needs to address the issue before trial. Pfingst, who served as San Diego County district attorney for eight years, was hired to represent Harper before authorities were aware of the homicide.
Pfingst called Carlsbad Police to direct them to the body. Authorities allege that Harper killed her husband the morning of Aug. 7, 2012, while their three children watched television downstairs. The 39-year-old housewife had filed for divorce five days before her husband, a teacher at Carlsbad High School, was killed. According to court documents, Julie Harper called and met with Pfingst for a couple of hours the same day her husband was shot. Pfingst called Carlsbad Police around 11 p.m. that day and told them to check the second floor of Harper’s home in Carlsbad. When asked why police needed to check the home, Pfingst allegedly said, “You’ll see when you get there,” and stated that he could not provide any more information due to attorney-client privilege. Officers found Jason Harper’s body in the master bedroom covered in clothes, a box, a pillow, and other items. An autopsy revealed that Jason had died from being shot in the left ribcage. Harper surrendered herself to police on Aug. 8, 2012 at her father’s home, and was taken into custody. According to the Sept. 16 motion, days after the murder, Pfingst removed $27,000 to $30,000 in cash that was found in Harper’s “get-away bag” before police had the opportunity to seize it for evidence. Pfingst allegedly found TURN TO PFINGST ON A22

California kids are holding their own in math and science fields CALIFORNIA FOCUS BY THOMAS D. ELIAS Maybe it’s time to stop the steady stream of handwringing over how poorly America’s schoolkids, and California’s in particular, perform in subjects like math and science and realize they are actually doing OK, even if there’s still plenty of room for improvement. That’s the takeaway from 2011 test scores in the Trends in International Math and Science Study (TIMS), an exam given by some states and 46 other countries and provinces. The 2011 results, latest available, were released earlier this fall. (Because only nine states administered the actual TIMS tests, researchers at the National Center for Education Statistics used data from other tests to compare.) They show American public school students have some way to go in catching up with students in several other countries, but are far ahead of students in many others. Yes, American kids trail those in Korea, Taiwan, Japan, Israel, Russia and Finland, but they are above average and ahead of their counterparts in England, Australia, Italy, New Zealand, Sweden and Thailand, to name just a few. (http://nces.ed.gov/timss/) California public schoolers are just a tad behind the American average, trailing England and New Zealand, but ahead of Sweden, Norway, Ukraine, Turkey and Chile, to name a few, on the tests given to kids in the fourth and eighth grades.
Two factors make the California scores seem lower than they probably should: The huge number of English learners in this state’s schools and the large percentage of California kids attending private and parochial schools. English learners are at a disadvantage when taking tests administered in English — and 23.2 percent of California public school students in 2011 were English learners — while many nonpublic schools don’t bother with some standardized tests, often administering only the National Assessment of Educational Progress exam. Fully 8.7 percent of all California school kids attend non-public schools, where tuition can range above $30,000. That means results of the state’s standardized testing often don’t include the children of the state’s wealthiest and best-educated adults. This skews average test scores downward sharply, even if no one can say exactly how much. Meanwhile, all kids in the other countries using the TIMS tests actually take them. So California’s score of 493 on TIMS, compared with an international average of 500, is misleading for sure. It leaves out kids who will go on to found businesses like Google and the internet real estate firm Zillow, for just two examples of international companies founded by people who attended private elementary or high schools in California. Meanwhile, the profusion of English learners in California public schools, almost all children of parents who can’t come close to affording private school TURN TO CALIFORNIA ON A23

Giving thanks to those who protect us INSIDE OCEANSIDE
As we make an inventory Y EN EIGHTON of the things we are thankful for, it would be very easy for those of us who live in Oceanside to overlook something we absolutely must not take for granted. Nothing could be more important than the safety of our neighborhoods. The economic profile of Oceanside may be poised to take a giant leap forward with the soon to-be-opening Summerhill Suites. But what if our town is overridden with violent crime? What good will a swanky new hotel do? On this Thanksgiving weekend we owe an overwhelming thank you to the sworn officers who protect us. But in order to explain an amazing fact, I must first point out an ugly reality. We have gangs in Oceanside. We also have murders. Since August 2011, Oceanside has suffered a total of 17 murders within our city limits. That figure will not be reprinted in any Chamber of Commerce flier. But it is, nevertheless, a fact we have to deal with. The latest murder victim was 18. He was shot and found face down on Nov. 15 near Cleveland and Neptune Streets. The police say he and his assailant were gang affiliates. Two days later the OPD had the suspect in jail. Oceanside has its share of murders. We’ve had eight this year alone — six were gang related. But it sure does seem like the Oceanside Police does a bang up job in catching those who do the murdering. They do. But this is a difficult statistic to brag about. Talking about it brings up the fact that we have more than our share of seaside homicides. But we have to talk about it. And let’s also talk about this most amazing fact: of the 17 Oceanside murders since August 2011, the OPD has arrested and/or convicted every single murder suspect. Let me repeat: that’s 17 for 17. “Our goal of course is to not have any murders,” says OPD’s Lt. Aaron Doyle. “Behind each of these statistics is a family being ripped apart...But when you do (have a murder) you want to solve it for your community and the victim’s family.” Doyle supervises the OPD detective squad that oversees crimes of violence, family protection and property crimes. He can be excused for boasting a bit. “That’s 100 percent solvency over almost 2-1/2 years. “I don’t have figures for other
B K L
cities. But I bet no other town has that kind of success rate. Just looking at the sheer numbers I think it’s safe to say, if you commit a violent crime in Oceanside, you’re probably going to get caught.” Doyle says OPD detectives acknowledge the assistance of two outside forces, the Feds (FBI assistance, federal grants) and the citizens of Oceanside. “If nobody talks to us, we’re never going to solve anything. Everybody’s cell phone has a camera. The advent of camera phones and their ability to document things within our community definitely makes law enforcement better. It brings things to life.” Doyle says the OPD has a well-maintained neighborhood policing team that helps his people know who is who among Oceanside’s various gangs. He credits a uniformed gang unit and the plainclothes gang detectives who “support us with intelligence and information.” He says various community resource centers around town help keep kids off the street and involved in constructive activities. “We have a two pronged approach. We want to motivate kids from getting involved in the first place.” There’s the carrot. And then there’s the stick. “We want to use any resource available to us to identify and apprehend the suspects involved.” One of those resources is the controversial gang injunction, which allows police to use tools against gang members that would not be legal otherwise. “It’s an incredible tool we can use. In its infancy, 20 years ago or so, people were bringing up the fact that you could be arrested by just hanging out with your cousin. But we’re talking documented gang members who have been vetted by our gang unit. These gang injunctions define a specific geographic area. Gang injunctions are directed at specific criminal activity. Our job is to find who is the most likely to have done it and why. Gang crimes are by far the hardest to solve since its hard to get people to talk.” Detective work is a science to Doyle and his crew. “We follow trends. If there is a specific type of crime that is happening with greater regularity, we analyze it so that we can determine when and where this particular crime is likely to happen again. It’s all about analysis. You have to evolve as an agency. These days it’s not just about footwork. We’re in a technological age and you have to embrace that TURN TO OCEANSIDE ON A22

Subcommittee begins review of ERGA By Jared Whitlock
ENCINITAS — Questions raised over financial practices and an operating contract at the Encinitas Ranch Golf Course were reviewed on Monday. An Encinitas City Council subcommittee held its first meeting to gather information about the golf course. Eventually, the subcommittee will report back to the rest of the council members with potential recommendations for managing the course. ERGA (Encinitas Ranch Golf Authority) governs the 18-hole course. The golf authority is an independent board estab-

lished in 1998 by the city and the development company Carltas. Located off of Quail Gardens Drive, the course is operated by JC Resorts. Echoing a concern brought up at a City Council meeting in October, Deputy Mayor Lisa Shaffer, a subcommittee member, asked why ERGA awarded a second 10-year contract to JC Resorts without seeking competitive bids. ERGA Chairman Bill Dean said the golf course was struggling financially when the contract was up for renegotiation in 2011. To help reduce the course’s costs, JC Resorts agreed to cut its management fee below previous levels for the first three years of the new contract, he said. “It was based on that kind of premise that we then went for the longer contract knowing they were discounting it,” Dean said.
“Upon the fourth year of the contract, their rates would then go back up to where they had been at the termination of the (previous) contract,” he added. According to ERGA accounting documents, JC Resorts received a flat fee of $165,000 for the 2011-12 fiscal year, the first year of the second contract. Additionally, JC Resorts was paid 1 percent of course revenues, which amounted to $39,090. The percentage fee remains 1 percent throughout the contract, while the flat fee is set to increase this year to $213,500. After that, the flat fee increases by 4 percent annually, provided JC Resorts meet certain terms. ERGA’s earlier contracts with JC Resorts weren’t available by press time. Because ERGA was pleased with JC Resorts, it didn’t consider other companies, Dean said. “There was no mechanism that would have us second guess the quality of work that was being done,” Dean said. City Attorney Glenn Sabine said that government code demands a request for proposals for projects that revamp or build facilities, but added that professional services like golf course management didn’t require a competitive bid request.

Contract awarded to replace closed beach-access stairs By Bianca Kaplanek
SOLANA BEACH — If all goes as planned, beachgoers will have access to the sea, surf and sand via Del Mar Shores in August. At the Nov. 20 meeting, council members unanimously awarded a $936,780 contract to Blue Pacific Engineering, which came in with the lowest of eight bids received to replace the stairway at the south end of the city. City officials began working to replace the structure, built in the 1970s, more than five years ago because the marine environment caused the stairs, handrails and safety fencing to deteriorate. The concrete was also cracked and rebar was exposed and rusted. The Public Works Department spent significant time and money to keep up with basic cosmetic and safety repairs, but despite the efforts, the stairway was closed to public access last November after a structural engineer concluded there was “a high probability that the staircase can collapse at any time.” A preliminary design was approved in 2009 but no funding was available. City officials applied for and received a permit from the California Coastal Commission that would have expired earlier this year. A one-year extension was granted but if work doesn’t at least begin by February the
city will have to reapply. The current design is almost identical to the one approved four years ago except for a slight change to the look of the lifeguard observation station. Original estimates to replace the stairway were between $1.5 million and $1.7 million. “We anticipated it to be much higher than it actually is so this is really great news that it came in at the price that it did,” Mayor Mike Nichols said. Council authorized $1,173,737 for the project, which includes the Blue Pacific contract, a 15 percent contingency and a not-toexceed $93,373 for consulting and architectural services for the stairs and lifeguard observation station. Blue Pacific’s bid includes $54,780 to repair the handrail, concrete stairs, metal picket fencing and drainage swale at Tide Beach Park. To fund the project there is $275,000 from a beach recreation fee that is being held by the San Diego Association of Governments. The city has $200,000 from a public recreation fee charged to homeowners who build sea walls. The city applied for and was denied a $200,000 grant from the Coastal Conservancy, but it has reapplied and expects a decision by early next year. The shortfall — either $698,373 or $498,373 — can come from general fund undesignated reserves, which currently has a $1.1 million surplus. Rather than just take the money, staff proposed borrowing it and using transient occupancy tax money to pay it back. Repayment at 2.71 percent interest would result in annual payments of $57,751 over 10 years or $32,713 for 20 years. Interest paid would be $77,511 or $154,265, respectively. “I think it’s a good idea to consider something like this,” Councilman Tom Campbell, an accountant, said. Council members discuss the option during an upcoming budget meeting. Construction is expected to start in January and take seven and a half months to complete.
Proposed ordinance on foreign flight students draws criticisms By Rachel Stine
REGION — To San Diego County staff, a new ordinance would bring enhanced alertness to vetting potential foreign flight students for security risks. But for the Palomar Airport Advisory Committee and community stakeholders, the proposed ordinance would bring a meaningless, bureaucratic requirement on local flight schools and instructors. “Quite truthfully, having a CFI (certified flight instructor) sign a paper is not going to stop terrorism,” said Leslie Day, the current vice president of Gillespie Pilots Association. The proposed county ordinance arose out of a federal government report following in the wake of Sept. 11, 2001. The report pointed out that the TSA’s (Transportation Security Administration) vetting of foreign flight students for security risks did not take into account their immigration status. Though flight schools and instructors are overseen and enforced by the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration), ICE (Immigration and Customs Enforcement), and TSA, the County Board of Supervisors directed staff to create an ordinance that would improve local compliance with vetting potential flight students. The proposed ordinance would require flight schools and independent flight instructors that use county airports to sign a piece of paper once a year, stating that they are following all federal foreign flight student screening and vetting requirements. By the time the ordinance was presented to the Palomar Airport Advisory Committee at its Nov. 21 meeting, the Fallbrook Airpark Advisory Committee and Gillespie Field Development Council had already unanimously

opposed the ordinance. County program coordinator Roger Griffiths explained the county’s position, saying, “We can’t go out to try to fingerprint foreign nationals, but we can take some measures within our own authority to assist or augment what the federal government is doing.” He added that he has heard of some flight schools turning away foreign students because of visa requirements, only to have those students find a different flight school. “Adding another layer of bureaucracy is not going to add safety,” said Carol White, who is on the Palomar Airport Association board. Candice Chin said that she already has to spend an incredible amount of time and money complying with federal standards for the flight school she runs with her father out of McClellanPalomar Airport, Civic Helicopters. She expressed frustration at the idea of having to sign a “meaningless piece of paper” once a year on top of what she does already. Palomar Airport Advisory Committee member Bob Gates said, “This looks like window dressing. It looks like a way of staff trying to get what the county wants.” He suggested that the county add an educational component to flight schools’ and instructors’ TURN TO ORDINANCE ON A22

Could removal of fence be solution to Cove smell? By Dave Schwab
LA JOLLA — Many La Jollans believe opening — or even removing — the fence at the Cove and allowing public access to the bluffs displacing wildlife there is the solution to quenching the stench
which has become a serious health problem and community irritant. Now they’re just waiting to hear if the city is going to give them the chance to test their theory. A decision is imminent
by the city attorney as a result of a request by assistant chief operating officer Stacey LoMedico to open a gate, or remove a section, of the Cove fence to allow public access there while city liability for doing so is explored.
The idea behind fence removal is the conviction by some that the cause of the pervasive smell emanating from the bluffs stems from the invasion of birds and marine mammals — and their inevitable feces — that has intensified since a fence was installed to keep people off the rocks. Remove the fence and allow people back out onto the cliffs and many of the animals will gradually be displaced and move away — as will the smell, the theory goes. Will that happen? It’s now up to the City Attorney’s Office to decide. In a recent letter to the La Jolla Village Merchants Association (LJVMA), which has been lobbying government officials to get the Cove stench taken care of once and for all, LoMedico wrote, “There are no restrictions to public access if a member of the public chooses to access the rocks/ cliffs. However, access is discouraged as the area can be unstable due to the erosion of the cliffs, rocks and as such there are signs posted on the fence that
clearly indicates these conditions. If a member of the public chooses to take such an individual risk, it is also important to note that an individual should do so without disturbing the wildlife, birds and sea lions.” LoMedico added that, should the Cove fence be reopened, city lifeguards have the right to warn those choosing to be on the rocks if they’re in personal danger, and also have the ability to cite them if they feel they’ve harassed or mistreated federally protected marine mammals. Addressing La Jolla Town Council recently, Sheila Fortune, LJVMA executive director, discussed LoMedico’s letter and the possibility of unlocking the gate or removing all or part of the Cove fencing. More importantly, Fortune noted the Cove stench is literally making people sick. “It’s become a major health problem with a lot of businesses along Coast Boulevard complaining about people getting sick, my staff and myself included in our
office,” Fortune told trustees. Noting the Cove’s rocks were treated twice to counteract bird droppings, Fortune said there’s a growing awareness that waste from sea lions may be an even bigger part of the stench problem. “Sea lions like to dine on sardines and sardines create an incredibly noxious odor,” she said. “We’re working to figure out a solution for everyone.” Alex Roth, spokesman for interim mayor Todd Gloria, told LJVMA last week, “We absolutely understand this is a big problem and we’re as concerned as folks in La Jolla are about finding some sort of solution.” Roth added that, at this point, “There are no options that really are off the table. Everything is being considered. Everything is being looked at.” But whether opening the Cove cliffs up to public access proves to be the ultimate solution, Roth said if people are allowed access they’ll have to continue to respect the rules and keep a safe distance from wildlife so there’s no harassment. Roth said the city is venturing into uncharted territory when it comes to eradicating animal-waste smells. Finding a solution, he said, is going to take some time. “This isn’t a situation where you can snap your fingers and find a solution to the sea lion poop,” he said, adding the sea lion population statewide has just “exploded, growing perhaps tenfold” from what it was a few years ago. “Whether or not we can install some sort of gate in the fence or open it up, we hope to have that answer fairly shortly,” Roth said.

Japanese-American man recalls journey from WWII internment camp to home By Jared Whitlock
ENCINITAS — In the late 1930s, Tak Sugimoto watched construction workers build the new San Dieguito High School. A kid at the time, he dreamed of graduating from the school. The aspiration grinded to a halt in February 1942. Following the Pearl Harbor attack, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed an order calling for the internment of all Japanese Americans living on the West Coast. By April, then 14-year-old Sugimoto and his family boarded a train in Oceanside with their few remaining possessions. Soon after, the train’s doors locked, the windows were shut and armed guards posted at each end. “It was a feeling of apprehension,” Sugimoto said. “We had no idea where we were going to.” Hours later, they arrived at an internment camp with barbed-wire fencing, just south of Parker, Ariz. The scorching hot climate was a far cry from the cool ocean breezes in Encinitas. “The area was the most desolate you can imagine,” Sugimoto said. Sugimoto grew up on a 40-acre farm where the Magdalena Ecke YMCA stands today. His family, arriving in Encinitas shortly after the Eckes, planted and sold everything from squash to celery. Crops and trees — not streets — ran through most of Encinitas, Sugimoto said. He recalled fond memories of flying down one of the few roads in the area with friends on skateboard-like planks they attached roller skate wheels to. Sugimoto said with a laugh it’s proof that Encinitas’ skateboard culture goes back a ways. “We didn’t have sophisticated toys,” Sugimoto said. We made our own entertainment.” Injustice, however, lurked around the corner. Back then, federal immigration laws targeting Asians prohibited Sugimoto’s parents from owning the property until one of their sons turned 21 years old. Unfortunately, Sugimoto’s older brother was just shy of his 21st birthday when the internment order was issued.

Yet he said the community’s support is one reason he doesn’t hold bitterness. “There are more good people in this world than bad I suspect,” he said. As part of a recent ceremony, the San Dieguito Academy Foundation unveiled bricks at the base of the school’s bell tower to commemorate notable graduates. Sugimoto’s name is inscribed on one of the pavers. It notes he was the first JapaneseAmerican to graduate after World War II. His yearbook quote reads, “There’s nothing half so pleasant as coming home again.” The standing ovation he received during his graduation ceremony in 1945 sticks out as one of his best memories. “That was one of the best feelings I ever had — to know I was accepted,” Sugimoto said. “And I fulfilled a childhood dream.”

Businesses open during Mission Avenue improvements By Promise Yee
OCEANSIDE — Construction started on Mission Avenue on Nov. 12 and downtown businesses have already felt an effect. Gumaro Escarcega, MainStreet Oceanside program manager, said the first two weeks of construction have reduced business sales. “Businesses definitely saw a drop in revenue sales,” Escarcega said. “I have heard some businesses dropped in sales 30 to 40 percent since construction.” MainStreet Oceanside has informed businesses about roadway construction
and has invited city staff and the project contractor to three MainStreet Morning Meetings to answer business owners’ questions. Information on the scope and phasing of the project was shared, and communication continues to remain open between the city, businesses and the project contractor. Business owners say parking is still a concern. The parking lot on Seagaze Drive is now used as a construction staging area and has pushed additional cars on to Mission Avenue to look for parking.

unsure of where on Mission Avenue they can park. Business owners say customers are used to parking in front of businesses and do not realize they can park behind safety cones set up on the road.
The city has been responsive. Nathan Mertz, city capital improvements manager, said signs are being printed to let drivers know where parking is allowed. “Parking is still

Parking is also available on adjacent streets and in the city hall parking structure. “There is an adequate amount of parking in the area,” Mertz said. “You may not always get to park right in front of the place. You may have to walk a block to get there.” These are also concerns roadway construction, which is being done in two block sections, will have a bigger impact as it moves in front of service businesses and restaurants. “We’re still concerned about how business will be impacted in a couple of months,” Escarcega said. Most businesses that were contacted did not report a decline in sales, but did say it would be a wait and see until construction moved in front of their door. Restaurants with outside dining were particularly concerned. “Business is slower than usual,” Rima Young, waitress and floor manager of Swami’s Cafe, said. “We’re hopeful in the long
run it make us all busier.” In the current construction area one traffic lane is being trenched up and temporary access bridges and paths have been added to ease pedestrian travel. “Now business owners can see how construction is going to be,” Mertz said. “The city will continue to work with them and inform and educate them. And help them be ready.” Mertz said businesses would be informed on how to protect building facades and awnings when construction moves in front of their block. To help promote businesses during construction MainStreet Oceanside has accelerated social media promotion of downtown businesses and held events downtown to draw in customers. “We want to make sure our businesses continue to be open,” Escarcega said. “We need to support local businesses. They’re small businesses and don’t have much capital. Customers need to come visit them and show them some support.” Many business owners have also stepped up promotions to let customers know they are still open while construction is taking place. All businesses owners seem to agree, that once finished, roadway and sidewalk improvements will benefit downtown businesses. Construction is expected to be finished in June 2014.

Rancho Santa Fe Rotary supports MiraCosta RANCHO SANTA FE — As an experienced financial planner, Greg Grajek knows a lot about investing. He’s sold on MiraCosta College. Grajek is the president of the Rotary Club of Rancho Santa Fe, which has donated several thousand dollars to the MiraCosta College Foundation this year for student scholarships and veterans’ services.He says giving to the nonprofit arm that raises money for the college is a no-brainer. “Rotary is all about service above self,”he said,alluding to his organization’s motto. “We’re always looking for other groups and organizations that are applying the same idea in the community, and MiraCosta College is doing that.” In fact, Rotary of Rancho Santa Fe this past spring donated $1,500 to help fund an ongoing need for emergency assistance for military veterans taking courses at the college where almost 2,800 students are in the military, are military dependents or are military veterans. The service organization also donated funds to cover five $1,000 Rotary Club of Rancho Santa Fe Scholarships. In its grant application, the MiraCosta College Foundation noted that such scholarships play a key role in helping students afford the costs of a higher education. “While tuition and fees for a California community college are significantly lower than
those for a four-year college or university, these costs represent only a fraction of the total expenses involved in attending a community college, making the price of attendance a hardship for many,” Foundation members wrote. “Fifty-eight percent of MiraCosta students rely primarily on their own income and savings to pay for college. Sixty-five percent of our students are employed, and 43 percent work more than 20 hours per week.” Grajek is sold for another reason. Half of the Rancho Santa Fe Rotary Club’s members have children who are either enrolled at MiraCosta College, or who have been enrolled in the past. “We have a direct connection,” Grajek said. “And especially when you consider what they’re doing to help the Marines and what they’re doing to help our servicemen and women, we feel honored to contribute.” MiraCosta College’s San
Elijo Campus is just west of the village of Rancho Santa Fe. And the campus is quickly transforming into a leading transfer-based institution. “Our students are local,
our students are young and our students want to transfer to a four-year college or university,” said Dana Smith, the San Elijo Campus Instructional Dean. Grajek, a graduate of
Michigan State University, says he sometimes wonders why more people don’t start their higher education journey at the community college level. “I see parents everyday strug-
gling to pay these $30,000, $40,000 tuitions,” he said. “There’s no reason to do that, really, when you have an institution like MiraCosta College right up the road.”

EverBank supports youth CARLSBAD — When Simone DeLira of EverBank was given the task of organizing the company’s grand opening at 5800 Armada Drive in Carlsbad, priority one was making it be communityoriented. One of the city’s oldest nonprofits, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Carlsbad, was selected as the charity of choice. Each guest was asked
to bring a toy or make a donation to the club, and the collection was a success. “We have recently opened a new Home Loan Division here in Carlsbad,” said EverBank Manager Grant Tisdel. “We are very excited to be a part of the community, and our Open House/Toy Drive was a way to give back in a meaningful way.” “Every member at our
Village Clubhouse will be given a holiday gift, thanks to the generosity of EverBank as well as other local individuals and companies,” said Boys & Girls Club CEO Brad Holland. “We are so grateful for the support Grant, Simone, and EverBank’s entire team has given our kids.” For more information contact EverBank at (760) 290-8229 or visit.everbank.com/gtisdel.

Bazaar promises an array of artistic gifts KAY COLVIN A Brush With Art San Dieguito Art Guild presents its third annual Holiday Bazaar Nov. 30 at the Encinitas Community and Senior Center. While providing artists a venue to present their work directly to the public, the event offers the public an opportunity to view more work of Guild artists typically limited by the compact space of SDAG’s Off Track Gallery located in the Lumberyard Shopping Center in Encinitas. All of the 30 artists participating in the Holiday Bazaar are members of SDAG and selected for this event by the Guild’s jury committee. The San Dieguito Art Guild, an over-200 member all-volunteer nonprofit organization, serves the community by offering frequent art workshops and demonstrations conducted by professional artists. Guild members are actively engaged in performing tasks necessary for the organization to continue its successful operation. SDAG was organized in 1965 by a group of 12 artists for the purpose of promoting greater understanding and appreciation of the fine arts in the coastal North County cities from Del Mar to Leucadia. Although the physical location of SDAG’s gallery has changed many times through its history, the Guild has maintained the essence of its original mission. For 19 years the extremely popular Mother’s
Day Weekend Art and Garden Tour, SDAG’s largest annual fundraiser, has helped support the operations of the Off Track Gallery and art programs that benefit the community. The 2013 event planning committee, which consists of three SDAG members working tirelessly to prepare for the Bazaar, include watercolor and jewelry artist Linda Melvin, currently serving as Off Track Gallery manager; ceramicist Karen Fidel, the Guild’s membership chair; and fused glass artist Carol Korfin, SDAG’s web mistress. Gourd artist Grace Swanson, event organizer for the past two SDAG holiday art sales, serves as advisor for this year’s Bazaar. She states,“This event gives local artists a venue to offer their hand-made items to the public and gives the shoppers a chance to purchase one-of-akind artworks which cannot be found in the malls. In addition, the buyer is purchasing work directly from the artist and can meet them face to face.” She adds, “Buying from artists directly really encourages each artist to produce more and keep going. Even though selling artwork is not primary focus for most artists, it is a validation of their efforts.” Event co-organizer Carol Korfin suggests, “Even if you have been to our Holiday Bazaar in the past, there are new artists and new items to see.” One artist new to the Bazaar this year is Steve Lutzker, who creates unique journals with leather covers and unusual clasps. Korfin continues, “We try to have a balanced mix of TURN TO BRUSH WITH ART ON A22
Beautiful animation, engaging characterizations, excellent voice acting, and melodious music make “Frozen” a memorable, poignant treat for the whole family. The kingdom of Arendelle has two princesses: Anna (Kristen Bell) and Elsa (Idina Menzel), the latter of whom can create ice and snow. However, Elsa has been suppressing her cryokinetic abilities due to her sister nearly getting killed once. On the day of her coronation, she loses control of her powers and flees into the mountains; unfortunately, her emotions blanket the kingdom in a never-ending winter. As a result, people now see her as a monster. Anna, the fearless optimist, doesn’t believe her sister is anything but a good person, so she must journey through the freezing landscape with mountain man Kristoff (Jonathan Groff) and his reindeer sidekick Sven, as well as the comical snowman Olaf (Josh Gad), to set things right. The question is: can Anna save Arendelle from this winter and find Elsa? To make matters worse, Elsa fears no one, not even her sister, can do anything to help her. The story, which is loosely inspired by Hans Christian Anderson’s “The Snow Queen,” has that magical Disney depth I haven’t felt since the 1990s,and I was hooked from beginning to end. I never lost interest in the drastic measures Anna took or the tribulations Elsa faced. Every event throughout this epic quest falls into place at the right moment, taking the audi-
ence on a compelling journey they’ll not soon forget. When it comes to the animation, “Frozen” achieves a perfect score in my book. The animators render the various characters and environments — fjords, mountains, glaciers, and forrests — with such immaculate detail, rivaling Pixar’s best efforts. In the case of Elsa’s cold powers, “impressive” doesn’t even begin to describe the spectacular nature of the ice and snow that she creates; if anything, I think “incredible” would be more accurate. And don’t get me started on the music, which is nothing short of marvelous. Christophe Beck’s score, along with Robert and Kristen Anderson-Lopez’s catchy songs, deliver on its promise to not only drive home the adventure that Anna and her allies undertake, but also bring the emotional fear growing in Elsa’s heart into sharper focus. Bell, Groff, and Gad handle their singing parts well, but it’s Menzel who takes the cake; it’s impossible not to be blown away by “Let It Go,” which showcases the Tony Award-winning actress’s powerful belting technique. Oh, and by the way, I wouldn’t be surprised, much less embarrassed, if those musical numbers reach the children’s ears and, before you know it, their vocal cords.After all, I have fond memories of singing to tunes like that when I was their age. Animation and music aside, what really makes “Frozen” so memorable is that it creates characters we can relate to and, therefore, want to see what’ll become of them.

The relationship between Anna and Elsa is as genuine as I’ve seen in a live-action setting, and watching those themes of family and love versus isolation and fear touched my heart in more ways than one. It was also refreshing to see Kristoff undergo a transformation from a regular guy to a hero with a purpose. And boy, Olaf’s dreams of finding warmth have just made my appreciation of snowmen even greater. But to have your animated characters come to life, you need a top-notch voice cast to pull off such a feat, and “Frozen” does just that. Kristen Bell earns top marks for instilling a spirited sensibility in the clumsy yet well-meaning Anna. Idina Menzel brings a graceful vulnerability to Elsa, the Snow Queen, combining her fear of losing control with her desire to
be free to create a layered character for the ages. Jonathan Groff rises to the challenge of making Kristoff both a normal person and a hero, and succeeds. Josh Gad is downright funny in his role of Olaf the Snowman, whose sense of humor indicates a heart that doesn’t physically exist. Take your folks and friends to see “Frozen” once it arrives in theaters, if only to appreciate what it means to love and be part of a family, as well as experiencing that timeless Disney magic once more.

Wowed by metal monsters and surprised by flowers E’LOUISE ONDASH Hit the Road ou can always count on the Anza Borrego Desert to deliver surprises, and we weren’t disappointed on a recent visit. In late October, we drove over the mountains to see some of the 131 Sky Art sculptures that inhabit the acres around the town of Borrego Springs. We expected to be wowed by these metal monsters, but didn’t expect to find flowers. “The desert is blooming because they got a lot of rain a couple of weeks ago when it rained a bit in San Diego,” said Phil Pryde, professor emeritus at San Diego State University and expert on all local forms of life. Nevertheless, he was hard pressed to identify a few of the flowers in the photos I sent. Let’s just say that it was pure joy to discover the expanses of white-and-lavender Jimson Weed; the clumps of purple sand verbena; the carpets of tiny yellow mystery flowers; and a vine that produced what looked like mini-watermelons. But back to the sculptures … They were commissioned

by millionaire philanthropist and amateur paleontologist Dennis Avery who owned acreage in and around Borrego Springs. A chance meeting with metal sculptor Ricardo Breceda in 2007 led to a collaboration that changed Breceda’s life. Formerly in construction, he sustained an injury about 14 years ago that changed his life. “I broke my back,” Breceda told me in 2009. “A couple of discs were smashed
so no more heavy lifting. I started doing little things in metal just to kill time, and I gave them to my friends.” Then Breceda’s daughter encouraged him to think big. “She was 6 at the time and the ‘Jurassic Park’ movie had come out. She said, ‘Let’s make a big dinosaur.’ So I made a T. rex and a Spinosaurus. They were 20-by40 feet, and I put them (on my land in Perris) by the I-215 freeway. Then there was bumper-to-bumper traffic and the television cameras came and the rest is history.” Avery followed the commotion, met with Breceda, and commissioned him to create

A careful look will reveal amazing and intricate the first group of creatures — 65 prehistoric beasts that once roamed the Borrego Valley at a time when it was green and lush. The artist modeled his creatures after drawings in a book that Avery helped publish. The first sculptures were installed in 2008, and now the Borrego Springs area is populated with mammoths, saber-toothed tigers, camels, wild pigs and horses, sloths, sheep and llamas.

metal work. Breceda used both recycled and new metal to construct the sculptures, and built the largest ones in sections, then assembled them on location. The process often took several weeks or months, and most creations cost thousands. The last sculpture was placed in 2012, the year Avery died.

MARKETPLACE NEWS Let a health care expert help you to make the right choices When was the last time you checked on your health insurance coverage? Were you shocked, once you did, to see that it was changing? And, if you didn’t already know, the health care industry is changing. No longer can a preexisting condition bar anyone from receiving health care. The plans for coverage are being standardized, too. With everything that’s come to the forefront with the Affordable Health Care Act, (Obamacare), getting an expert’s advice on how to navigate the webs of what coverage to choose and how, might be the best way to ensure you’re making the right choices for you, your family or your small business. Should you sign up for a PPO, an HMO or join a health savings account? These are all personal decisions that most people haven’t been fully educated on. Gary Evenvold can help you make that decision. Gary has amassed more than 25 years’ experience as a licensed health insurance agent, and is also a Certified Covered California Agent. He’s been a San Diego County resident since 1979, and with his extensive knowledge of the local health care providers, he’s able to connect people with the appropriate coverage on a personal level. His goal, as the March 31, 2014 deadline approaches, is to help clear up the confusion on which doctors people can see and which health insurance plans would work best for their budget. Either in person, or over the phone, Gary will go through each scenario personally with each person because everybody’s different, he said. And for the health insurance customer, there’s no charge at all to consult with him. As an agent, his compensation comes from the carriers. “Only insurance agents can make recommendations,” Gary said. “A navigator or a counselor cannot make a recommendation. They can take your information and enroll you, but they can’t say a PPO is better, or an HMO is better for you and this is why.” Take advantage of using a certified agent versus going it alone.

Could this be your solution to numbness, neuropathy or sharp pain? Do you have any of the following symptoms? Pins and needles feeling? Numbness in the hands or feet? Tingling or burning sensations? Weakness in the arms or legs? Sharp shooting or burning pains? If so, you may have a condition called Peripheral Neuropathy. Numbness, tingling, and pain are an extremely annoying problem. It may come and go...interrupt your sleep...and even make your arms or legs feel weak at times. Maybe you’ve even been to other doctors and they claim all the tests indicate you should feel fine. More Drugs Are Not The Solution. A common treatment for many nerve problems is the ‘take some pills and wait and see’ method. While this may be necessary for temporary relief of severe symptoms, using them long term is no way to live. Some of the more common drugs given include pain pills, anti-seizure mediations, and anti-depressants — all of which can have serious side effects. My name is Dr. Jeff Listiak. I’ve been helping people with neuropathy and nerve problems for more than seven years. Neuropathy can be caused by Diabetes,

“I had been feeling very sharp pains in my feet… they just felt like they were on fire. I just couldn’t stand it… every night for the last year or two. I’m so excited today to tell Dr Jeff that four days in a row I have felt no pain whatsoever.” — Marilyn You could soon be enjoying life...without those aggravating and life-disrupting problems.

For the next 14 days only, $49 will get you a complete NeuropathyDR™ Analysis that I normally charge $197 for! What does this offer include? Everything. • An in-depth discussion about your health and wellbeing where I will listen…really listen…to the details of your case. • A posture, spine, range of motion, and nerve function examination. • A full set of specialized xrays (if necessary) to determine if a spinal problem is contributing to your pain or symptoms. • A thorough analysis of your exam and x-ray find-
ings so we can start mapping out your plan to being pain and numbness free. • And, if after the thorough analysis we feel we can’t help you, we’ll tell you that right away.

He has a natural sense for garden feng shui and combines an artist’s eye with his knowledge of the earth to produce a landscape in complete harmony with its surroundings. “My dad grew up on a farm and taught biology, so I grew up with a strong understanding of plants and the land,” Horner said. “I combine this with my artistic sense to create a series of gardens on a property that work with the microclimates on all sides of the home. Each area has different needs and can require different plants to thrive.” Horner’s versatile skills can provide the perfect California garden, whether you want an English Victorian garden, a tropical palm paradise or a desert oasis complete with succulents and cactus. C & H Gardens has provided residential and commercial property landscape and arboricultural services to San Diego County since 1978. Preferring a job that kept him outdoors, Horner began while putting himself through college doing tree-trimming. From there, he worked under a top landscaper installing and maintaining the enormous date palms and landscape at The Mirage in Las Vegas, gaining a broad knowledge of desert flora. “I grew up in San Bernardino, but my folks had a beach place in Leucadia

Help bring holiday joy to our military heroes
Adam Bixler, left, general manager of Moonlight Motors in Encinitas and Owner and Operator Marty Smith and their Yeti Cornelius, will be the first to greet you when bringing your vehicle in for complete green automotive services.
Green auto repair? There’s no denying that people living in Southern California are heavily reliant on their vehicles. Seeing the dreaded CHECK ENGINE LIGHT come on is a spine chilling experience, however, vehicle maintenance is a fact of life. When it needs to be done, it needs to be done at a place you can trust by people you can trust. There’s where Marty Smith, owner and operator of Moonlight Motors in Encinitas, and his general manager Adam Bixler come in. They’re the first ones to greet you when you bring your car in for service. For over a decade, Smith and Bixler, an Encinitas native, are proud of being a local, independent shop, providing complete auto maintenance services to the community. Because of their expertise working on new and older vehicles, Smith describes his shop as a place where The Flintstones meet The Jetsons. The service staff is constantly undergoing training to stay on top of the emerging hybrid technologies. Never putting money ahead of people, the technicians are factory trained, ASE Certified and hybrid specialists. Each technician has been with Moonlight Motors long enough to have gotten to know and establish a familiarity with their customers. This aspect makes Moonlight Motors incredibly special. All too often, when you take your vehicle to a dealership, you never know who is working on it. Once you drop the car off at the dealer, it disappears into some service area only to come back “needing” some crazy repairs!
Smith and his staff encourage their customers to ask questions about the services their vehicles are receiving. Smith said, “it helps with the level of comfort when you know who’s working on your car and you can actually talk to them.” An extra sense of comfort should come from the fact the moonlight Motors is a “green Certified Service Center,” one of the first to receive this designation. This means all of the “waste-products” that come from the vehicles are handled and disposed of responsibly or recycled. “Anything that we can do, as an automotive repair facility, to help limit our footprint, benefits all of us — from our water to our air quality,” said Smith. Carrying on in the green tradition, Smith and Moonlight Motors have just added an electric vehicle charging station. They will use it as an extra source of convenience for their electric/hybrid vehicle owning clients and neighbors. “Though appointments are preferred, call or just stop by and we can talk” says Smith. “Sorry we don’t have a Major Chain Coffee House on premises, but that helps us keep overhead and waste down! Besides, there are three within walking distance! Get out and enjoy that FRESH air!” Appointments may be made by calling (760) 635-0637. Moonlight Motors is located at 215 Melrose Avenue, Encinitas.

Help be a hero to the heroes this holiday season. For military families with loved ones deployed, it’s hard enough to have to endure a holiday season without their mother or father around the dinner table. And still harder if their loved one comes back having sustained combat injuries. That’s why the nonprofit S.O.S. (Spirit of Sharing) is rising to the occasion by helping provide not only the basic necessities any family would need, but also by bringing a little holiday cheer into the lives of military families that are in need. The primary focus of S.O.S. has always been to provide the elements of the holiday season that a family might not ordinarily be able to enjoy. S.O.S. helps all active duty military families purchase holiday food items at Thanksgiving, and for Christmas, the kids get wrapped presents from Santa Claus. Striving to build relationships with each family, S.O.S. is able to gain better insight and understanding of individual and familial needs and interests. Each family is generally provided with several weeks’ worth of groceries and all of the goodies that make the holiday season so warm, comforting, and special. S.O.S. also provides each

Since 2000, when the charity was started with the adoption of two families for

the holiday season, they’ve continued to grow each year. To date, more than 700 military children and 300 military families have received help from S.O.S. The Campbell family, who founded S.O.S. is very sensitive to the stresses that military children experience’ In fact, many of those working with S.O.S. are military veterans and/or spouses. With the toll of multiple deployments over the last 10 years affecting families, S.O.S. is seeing an increase in the amount of military families in need.
And they still need help to continue to do so. With year-round fundraising efforts, S.O.S. is always looking for donations of any kind, including gas cards, gift cards for clothing, toys — even groceries. People interested in donating items may call S.O.S. directly at (760) 859-5911, or emailing questions to spiritofsharing@gmail.com. More information is available on their website at spiritofsharing.org. The S.O.S. office is at 3355 Mission Ave. Suite 11 in Oceanside.

It was a bull rush of epic proportions. A stampede seldom seen. An onslaught of humanity that caused Tri-City Medical Center officials to reluctantly wave a white flag. “With the number of people that kept showing up they finally gave up and let everybody in,’’ Oceanside High’s John Carroll said. Carroll, the dean of San Diego County’s prep football coaches, looks forward to Monday’s CIF-San Diego Section Open Division title game against Mission Hills. The Pirates are in their 10th straight championship tilt, which is almost as amazing as their coach, one John Carroll. It was a month ago that Carroll couldn’t stiffarm something that landed him in Tri-City. An artery leading to his brain was malfunctioning, something his teams rarely do. He was sprinted to the hospital, and after some anxious moments, was inundated with phone calls, e-mails, texts and cards. And a stream of concerned friends traipsing to Tri-City, dearly wanting to see their man, The Man, in person. “It was an introspective time,’’ Carroll said, his voice not quite returned to bull-horn volume. “On a personal level, to know that there were so many people reaching out and sending their prayers and well wishes. When I was in the hospital, I think those people got worn out by the number of people coming by.’’
That the Pirates are again vying for a oversized trophy isn’t news. It’s old hat, but it never gets old. “It’s pretty amazing,’’ Carroll, 56, said. “You look at it: our 16th title game and 10 in a row. It’s just incredible. “I think all that success gets lost sometimes with the expectations that come with being Oceanside. But wait a minute. In the history of high school football only Oakland’ s De La Salle has won like that.’’ The Pirates’ victories since Oct. 29 have come with Carroll contributing on a part-time basis. He’s relinquished his teaching duties and appears at practice when his body allows. Game nights mean chilling in the press box and away from the water cooler. That included last week’s epic semifinal win over Eastlake, when Oceanside erased a 30-7 halftime deficit to prevail, 33-30. “It was a phenomenal experience and I’m glad I got a chance to watch it,’’ Carroll said. “I wish I had been on sidelines to feel the emotion, but I’ve got to kept my stress level down.’’ Keeping up with Carroll’s trophy count is challenging. But appreciating what keeps him going, isn’t. Like all good coaches, it’s about connecting with players, and not the hardware, which means the most. “You don’t sign up for coaching to sit in the press box and not have the interaction and feel that emotional intensity,’’ said Carroll, who’s in his 25th year at Oceanside. ”It’s those joys and highs that you get. “It’s not the X’s and O’s and the wins, even though they are so important. What you strive for is the relationships. That’s what motivates most coaches that do it for a while.’’ Many of those he shares bonds with appear this time of year. “We have a ton of kids coming back — all the kids in college and in the NFL,’’ Carroll said. “That’s what you do it for.’’ But this year, others did it for him. His staff responded, with Rick Girardi, Carroll’s longtime assistant, among those keeping the Pirates’ train on track. “I’ve got to give them all praise,’’ Carroll said. “They have really stepped up.’’ So did the team’s senior leaders, after TURN TO CARROLL ON A22

For comparison, the subcommittee will also examine contracts JC Resorts has with other golf courses, depending on if the contracts are public. Although ERGA’s fivemember board includes the Encinitas city manager and two city employees, the city council doesn’t have a direct say over ERGA. Councilman Tony Kranz, who serves on the two-person subcommittee with Shaffer, said he recognizes the board arrangement was designed to “inoculate” the members from politics. However, since the golf course is a city asset, further oversight by the council is necessary, he said. The subcommittee

also addressed a controversial contingency fund ERGA created several years ago to pay for major repairs during tough economic times. The contingency fund meant ERGA allocated less money to a CFD (Community Facility District) bond payment. This resulted in some 1,000 homeowners living in Encinitas Ranch having to shoulder more of the CFD bond payment, increasing their property taxes. Kranz said he understands the rationale behind the contingency fund, but Encinitas Ranch homeowners might see it as coming out of their own pocket. But Chris Calkins, president of Carltas, said the contingency fund provides for a better golf course over the long term. This ultimately means more rounds and more revenue to pay into the various funds, including the CFD bond
payment, he said. The subcommittee mulled over additional points related to financing. Those inquires, along with other questions raised by the public, will be taken up at another subcommittee meeting at an undetermined date. Some residents have stated ERGA hasn’t provided enough rationale for its decision-making. “There’s nothing accusatory that I’m suggesting has been wrong or improperly done,” resident James Greco said at the start of the meeting. “I just think that we’ve been frustrated, from my perspective, when we’ve asked these questions and they’ve either been ignored or we’ve been given half-answers or less than half-answers.” Rounds played increased at the golf course by 5.5 percent from 2011 through 2013, a city staff report in October noted.
do things a little differently.’’ There’s nothing odd about Oceanside seeing a final as it aims for its 13th CIF title. What’s askew is Carroll not being near the chains. But that doesn’t trump the pleasure that accompanies being a beloved coach. “Under the circumstances, I can tell you, it’s not fun being in a limited capacity,’’ Carroll said. “But it’s fun to watch the kids and the kids are hav-
ing fun. But I miss being with them right now.’’ Carroll will be their eye in the sky come Monday, while they remain close to his heart.

Team. Over the past 29 years, Forensic Health Services has provided services for more than 15,000 children and adults. “The Child Abuse Program at Palomar Health is directly related to our ability to convict child molesters and rapists,” said District Attorney Bonnie Dumanis in a statement. “Without the program, some of San Diego’s most serious criminals may not be effectively held accountable.” The information and evidence collected by the department’s staff of forensic interviewers, medical doctors and sexual assault nurses, who are available 24-hours a day, can be used in court for criminal prosecutions. Among numerous other cases, the department performed forensic interviews of 50 children who witnessed the 2010 shooting at Carlsbad’s Kelley Elementary School. The evidence collected from these interviews helped convict Brendan O’Rourke, who was sentenced to 189 years in jail for the shooting. Today, the department’s operations cost approximately $550,000 annually. About half of these costs are covered by the service fees paid by law enforcement and some grants. Since the department opened, Palomar Health has paid for the other half, about $200,000 per year, in addition to paying for the department’s facilities and staff’s

salaries and benefits. But during the most recent fiscal year, Palomar Health experienced the “perfect storm” of sequestration, changes in medical reimbursements, and rising medical costs, said Palomar Health spokesperson Bobette Brown. Palomar Health determined that it could no longer cover the department’s operational expenses. Palomar Health administrators are requiring Forensic Health Services to raise $200,000 by Dec. 31 to cover operations or it would close the department. If it meets its funding deadline, the department will be required to continue to raise funds to cover the operational costs not recovered from service fees longterm. So far, the department and the Palomar Health Foundation have raised $105,000. Cathy McLennan, who supervises the department’s child abuse program, said that the department has applied for a few grants to cover the rest, but is uncertain if those grants will be awarded to them. “We are really hoping to come up with more private donors. And we realize that it’s getting late, but we are working very diligently towards that,” she said. McLennan explained that with the trained staff and services that Forensic Health Services provides, victims only need to go to one place to be interviewed and
examined. The department’s services collect information for law enforcement, district attorneys and child welfare advocates all at once so victims do not need to travel back and forth between multiple offices and undergo repeat interviews. “It’s much less traumatic for the children,” she said. The department provides services for 550 victims per year from all over North San Diego County. If the department is shut down, child victims will have to go to Rady Children’s Hospital in San Diego and adolescent and adult sexual assault victims will need to go to a center in El Cajon. “We really want a longterm solution,” said County Supervisor Dave Roberts. “We need to make sure that people are aware of the value of this program.” While Forensic Health Services missed the deadline to apply for funding under the supervisors’ control, Roberts and Supervisor Bill Horn are working together to form a coalition to raise funds to keep the department running for years to come if it survives its December funding deadline.

Considering which students are skimmed from the top before California kids even take these tests, while many thousands of others are at a great disadvantage, the California scores don’t look so bad. Yes, they trail the numbers from Massachusetts, Minnesota, Maryland, Colorado and Connecticut, to name a few high-performing states that score well above the worldwide average, but those places have nowhere near as many English learners as California. Meanwhile, states with almost as high a percentage of English learners — like Texas — scored below California. All of which suggests that California public schools are doing some things right — to get a student populace with high proportions of immi-
grants’ kids who are not up to par in English performing almost at the international average is no mean feat. At the same time, there’s plenty of work to do: Those English learners must be brought up to speed as quickly as possible so they can compete for jobs when they emerge from school. But none of this suggests an academic doomsday is approaching, as many detractors of public education often imply. Email Thomas Elias at tdelias@aol.com.

The man who Write, flew Lady revise and Gaga reunite JEAN GILLETTE Small Talk

are still being held under lock and key, it was described at the event as a “flying dress.” The Volantis has a platform, which Gaga stood on, and a white fiberglass bodice of a female figure that she stood behind. Batteries powered six rotors to create the craft’s lift. Calderon had to sign a non-disclosure agreement and couldn’t talk about any of it with friends or family until the day of the event. That was all the way back in July, when he was contacted by a friend of his, Mike Henning about getting involved.
Still he wouldn’t talk a whole lot more on the project, citing that work on the Volantis is still going on. He could only describe the Volantis as a very “unusual” machine because of its weight. “And it weighs a lot,” he said. With a week’s worth of flight training, practicing and training for the event, he still had plenty of reservations about actually flying the machine during the event. Flying in those conditions, even though it was indoors, it was TURN TO PILOT ON B15

TURN TO SMALL TALK ON B15
CARLSBAD — For just under a minute, in front of a multitude of cameras and reporters, Gus Calderon literally held the fate of Lady Gaga in his hands. Standing a few yards away, Calderon, a Carlsbad resident, was the first-ever to fly the pop singer on the Volantis, a remote controlled flying vehicle, on Nov. 10 at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in New York. The occasion, in part, was the release of Gaga’s new album “ARTPOP.” But it was more than a stunt, said Calderon, a former commercial pilot and who founded Isis Copter, a remote-controlled aerial photography company. The Associated Press reported from the event that Gaga wanted to make today about something even more important to her, and that something is the youth of the world. “She wants it (the Volantis) to be a message about inspiring the youth,” Calderon said. “She wants to convey to the public that they

Perhaps she has new boyfriend. Thanksgiving is approaching and unexpected negotiations are underway. Daughter: “Hey mom and dad! College is so cool and I am in love!

ODD Sinkhole temporarily closes North River Road FILES
by CHUCK SHEPHERD
By Promise Yee
Family of Man The Marvels of Science: The notorious white separatist Craig Cobb is currently soliciting like-skinned people to move to his tiny town of Leith, N.D. (pop. 16), to create a deluxe Caucasian enclave, but at the urging of a black TV host submitted to a DNA test in November to “prove� his lineage — and turned up 14 percent black (“Sub-Saharan African�). He has vowed to try other DNA tests before confirming those results. Bobby Harper, previously Leith’s only black resident, was gleeful: “I knew there was one other black person in town.� (In mid-November, Cobb was charged, along with an associate, with seven counts of terrorism for walking menacingly through Leith wielding a long gun.) Government in Action In October, Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro created a “Vice Ministry of Supreme Social Happiness� to coordinate the welfare programs begun by the late President Hugo Chavez. Critics charged, however, that there is much to be unhappy about, given the country’s annual rate of inflation (near 50 percent), and an Associated Press dispatch quoted one critic who said she would be happy enough if only stores were not constantly out of milk and toilet paper. (Another skeptic said he looked forward to maybe a Vice Ministry of Beer). The U.S. government has engaged in some legendarily wasteful projects, but leaders in China’s Yungai village (pop. 3,683), in Hunan province, have surely raised the bar for epic squander after borrowing the equivalent of $2.4 million and building an impressive seven-story government headquarters — but with 96 still-unlooked-out front windows because there is no activity beyond the first floor. According to an October London Daily Telegraph report, the only occupants are the village g o v e r n m e n t ’ s eight employees.
OCEANSIDE — A sizeable sinkhole on North River Road closed the eastbound lane of the road past Wilshire Road for about 24 hours Nov. 20. Shortly after the road collapsed, former City Manager Peter Weiss updated City Council during that evening’s council meeting. “They are working around the clock to get it resolved,� Weiss said. “They are allowing some traffic, but it’s very limited.� A motorist spotted the sinkhole and called in the problem. There were no related accidents and a crew was quickly on site evaluating the problem and redirecting traffic. For drivers going eastbound the temporary road closure caused them to take a lengthy detour. The cause of the sinkhole is thought to be the corrosion of bolts on the drainline and main waterline, that allowed water to seep out, saturate the

ground, and ultimately cause the sinkhole. When the repair crew got to the pipes, the pipes were blown out, and the exact origin of the leak could not be determined. About 10 residents in
the Morro Hills neighborhood were without water for 12 hours. Homeowners were not notified, but water was back in service and the road was open by the next day. “Our efforts focused on
making sure we can do the repair,� Cari Dale, water utilities director, said. “It was a fairly easy repair to make and the crew was very expeditious at getting customers back in service to get water.�
By the afternoon of Nov. 21 the crew had made the repair, backfilled the 15-foot deep trench, and repaved the road. “They do occur and we appreciate everyone’s patience,� Dale said.
Furry friends cheer up Tri-City hospital patients By Promise Yee
OCEANSIDE — Once a week for the past two years, Shirley Olsen and her vizsla Chispa visit Tri-City Medical Center to cheer up patients. Their first stop is at the nurses’ station where staff members visit with Chispa to take a break from on-thejob stress. Then it’s onto patients who would like a visit. Olsen and Chispa usually visit adult patients in the acute rehab program, where patients are recovering from brain injuries. Olsen goes room to room with Chispa to check in with patients and see who would like a visit. Most patients they see one time, but some longterm patients they see each week. “A few patients we see repeatedly,� Olsen said. “It’s great to see the progress.� During their hour at the hospital Olsen and Chispa visit with two to five
patients. Olsen keeps Chispa at a comfortable distance from patients and lets patients reach out to the dog at their own comfort level. Olsen said Chispa is intuitive and sensitive to people in need. She never lunges at people. Instead she shows attentiveness by making eye contact and giving dog kisses in the air. If a patient responds she will move closer, offer her paw, and let them brush her as part of their physical therapy. “I think Chispa pulls people away from their pain,� Olsen said. “She gives them hope because she reminds them of the outside world.� “Most of them cry,� Olsen added. “They really feel the warmth of a dog. One patient told me, ‘it’s just what I’ve needed.’� A unique talent of the team is Olsen is bilingual in
English and Spanish and had taught Chispa to respond to commands in both languages. This allows them to communicate with more patients. Olsen and Chispa are one of several teams of therapy dogs and owners who volunteer at the hospital. Other therapy dogs visit with pediatric, oncology and behavioral health patients. They also mingle in the lobby and waiting rooms to cheer up visiting families, and some visit outpatients. Olsen said Chispa was born to be a therapy dog. “She was born with a nice temperament and she’s well socialized,� Olsen said. Chispa gained certification as a therapy dog after a dog obedience instructor noticed the dog’s calm and disciplined nature and suggested Chispa go through certification testing. Chispa was certified through the American
things Kennel Club Canine Good me put in perspective.� Citizen Certificate. Olsen volunteers with Chispa at the Beach Animals Reading with Kids, read to a dog literacy program, and Tri-City Medical Center.

MiraCosta recognized with Green Colleges Leadership Award By Promise Yee
OCEANSIDE — MiraCosta College was recently awarded the Green Colleges Leadership Award for its comprehensive master plan that includes extensive green practices. Ideas to make the campus greener were generated by a committee of staff members from architecture,energy,open space, water and wastewater, land use, and architectural landscape disciplines, to ensure green efforts cover every angle. “Environmental sustainability crosses every discipline,” Tom Macias, director of facilities, said. “We’re going in the direction of being less dependent on the grid.” A significant green effort that reflects the intention of the comprehensive master plan is the replacement of all campus streetlights with LED bulbs. The project started with changing out staff parking lot

lights with energy-saving LED bulbs. The college is continuing its efforts to replace all campus parking lot and streetlights with LED bulbs by March 2014 with Proposition 39 funds, which support energy-efficient projects. “It’s a lot of work taking out all the old inefficient lighting and putting in energy-efficient lighting,” Macias said. Macias added the change pays off in reducing electricity use and the college’s energy bill. The college also added a LEAD platinum certified science building to its Oceanside campus in August. Macias said almost all materials used to construct the building are made from recycled materials. The building is lit with photovoltaic power that runs off of the building’s solar panel grid. It also features sola-tubes, which Macias described as high-tech skylights. Light is

captured and redirected by the sola-tubes to illuminate classrooms without turning on light fixtures. “The sola-tube is like a skylight,” Macias said. “It’s highly refined.It channels light and prisms it out.” Another campus feature is the living lab garden that horticulture students use as part of their lab studies. Part of the gardens are labeled so all campus visitors can enjoy them as an interpretive trail. The college has been thinking green for 14 years and is continually finding more ways to recycle and reduce consumption. Recycling efforts are practiced on campus and low-flush toilets are used. “Recycling efforts have been very successful,” Macias said. “We recycle paper, cardboard, bottles, plastic, metal, we also compost grass clippings.” Future green efforts at the college include looking at how to change staff and student behavior to reduce consumption. An initial behavioral change the college will soon launch is presetting room temperatures to a more energyefficient range, cooler in winter, warmer in summer. Temperatures will be centrally controlled instead of allowing access to temperature adjustment in each room. Macias said the implementation of this change would take staff buy-in to be successful.

RANCHO SANTA FE — Starting the first of the year, Rancho Santa Fe, along with several other North County coastal cities will have a new 911 emergency medical services provider. In October, San Diego County officials awarded a new eight-year contract to AMR (American Medical Response) to serve the area known as the San Dieguito Ambulance District, or CSA17. The CSA-17 district covers the communities of Rancho Santa Fe, Encinitas, Del Mar, Solana Beach and parts of Elfin Forest. R u r a l / M e t r o Corporation, the current service provider, AMR and fire agencies have begun talks on making the transition. Deputy Fire Chief Mike Gibbs of the Rancho Santa Fe Fire District said he doesn’t think there will be any challenges when it comes to the switchover, likening it to the one stepping into the footprint of the other. While the RSF Fired Department doesn’t have any ambulances in its fleet of emergency vehicles, the CSA-17 contract provides the ambulances for the department and the others in the district. Dave Austin, director of administration at AMR and who will serve as the program manager, said they’ll be providing six new ambulances; five of those will be 24-hour service and one a

Judy Slevinske, 92, formerly of Kansas City, Kansas, passed away peacefully October 29 at her daughter's home in Encinitas, California. She was preceded in death by her husband of 54 years, B.A. Slevinske, daughter Jo Ann Ramsey Bradbury and son Dennis Ramsey. She is survived by her son Rick Ramsey (Cheryl) of Salida, Colorado, her daughter Karen Slevinske of Encinitas, California, three grandchildren, three great grandchildren and

In Kansas, she was a longstanding member of Little Flower Circle at Christ the King Church, was active in Providence Medical Center Service League, The Ladies of Charity and KCK Friends of the Arts. She retired from her business, Judy's Draperies, in 1995. The last three years of her life in Encinitas she fulfilled her charitable, creative nature by baking sweets for family and friends as well as two halfway houses for men. She will be remembered for her sunny disposition, her ever present smile and her unconditional love for all. A mass of Christian burial was held November 9 in Kansas City. The family suggests memorial donations be made to St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Encinitas.

12-hour ambulance. The ambulances will be staged at Solana Beach Fire Station No. 1, Encinitas Station No. 2 and No. 5, and Rancho Santa Fe Stations 1, 2, and 4. The staging of ambulances will remain the same as it has been under Rural/Metro. “For any type of call that’s medical-related, whether that would be a vehicle accident, any type of rescue, a medical aid there will always be an ambulance attached with a Rancho Santa Fe fire engine,” Gibbs said. In addition to the six ambulances there will also be a seventh on reserve, and will also be housed at the Solana Beach station, Austin added. “The 12-hour car is at Rancho Santa Fe Station No. 2, and that’s a dual para-
medic training unit for the fire department,” Austin said. “We move over for the day a firefighter paramedic to keep them proficient as a paramedic, they’re a first responder, obviously, but it gives them the ability to have more patient contact, more patient care and becomes a training unit for new paramedics coming into the system for the fire service.” AMR will also be providing 17 paramedics and 17 EMTs. New to the contract this time is the addition of a 24hour supervisor in a fully equipped vehicle, who the ability to respond as an assessment unit, Austin said. AMR served the CSA17 district about 10 years ago. Austin said he doesn’t anticipate facing any challenges.

Council adopts 13 groups vie for community grant funding new term limits By Bianca Kaplanek
By Jared Whitlock
ENCINITAS — Terms limits and other changes for the city’s Arts Commission, Parks and Recreation Commission, Planning Commission and other commissions will take effect in 2014, as a result of a 3-2 council vote last week. Now, incumbents who served two terms will have to sit out for one year if they want to reapply for the same commission again. However, if there are no new applicants at the time, a commissioner could stay on for more than two terms. Council members debated term limits last month. At that time, Deputy Mayor Lisa Shaffer argued a one-year break would give more people a chance to serve. Councilwoman Kristin Gaspar opposed the restrictions during that October meeting. If commissioners are unpopular with enough people, the council will hear about it and they likely wouldn’t be reappointed. “There are certain cases where you don’t vote for an incumbent, because someone comes forward that offers something unique and different,” Gaspar said. Additionally, the coun-
cil’s vote extended commission terms from two years to three, with the exception of the youth commission, where terms will remain one year. In opposing the motion last week, Gaspar and Councilman Mark Muir said term limits remained a sticking point for supporting an update to the commission language. The mayor will recommend appointments for commissions; a three-outof-five councilmember vote is required to approve an applicant. In addition to the aforementioned commissions, there’s also the E n v i r o n m e n t a l Commission, Senior Citizens Commission and newly restructured Traffic and Public Safety Commission. Previously called the Traffic Commission, the Traffic and Public Safety Commission will include seven members, rather than five as it did before. The name change reflects the commission’s expanded focus on safety. Council members Shaffer and Tony Kranz will return with language defining the commission’s scope for approval at an undetermined date.
SOLANA BEACH — With 13 organizations seeking $55,500 in aid, City Council has the unenviable task of selecting which ones will receive funding from its annual Community Grant Program. Last year, with some outof-the-box thinking and help from Santa Fe Christian Schools, the city was able to fund all eight requests totaling $32,990. Santa Fe Christian has again offered to provide matching funds this year for the $15,000 that is available — $5,000 each from the city and its two waste haulers, EDCO and Waste Management. But the city will still be short $25,500, so not every applicant will receive funding. A Ship in the Woods, which operates out of a scheduled-to-be-demolished house near Lomas Santa Fe Country Club, provides space for art gallery displays, music, comedy, lectures and business meetings. The group, which also allows artists to live in the house, is seeking $5,000 to continue the program once the building is destroyed. BikeWalkSolana is asking for $4,400 for its bike safety rodeos that target elementary school students and offer inspections, skills assessment and, for low-income families, free helmets. Some of the money
would also be used for a WalkShop at Earl Warren Middle School. That program encourages students to find ways to improve walking and biking on and around the campus. The Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito is seeking $4,700 to help fund college nights at the La Colonia branch.Volunteers help teens with applications and financial aid. Many of the participants would be the first in their families to go to college, Annie Ragovin, director of fundraising and communications, said.
Money would be used for supplies and to take students on college visits outside San Diego County. Casa de Amistad, a mentoring and tutoring program for kindergarten through 12th-grade Latino students in coastal North County, applied for a $5,000 grant for a new program called Parents in Action. “We know that our volunteers really make a difference in our children’s lives, but really it comes down to parents,” Nicole MioneGreen, executive director, said.
The goal is “to empower the parents of traditionally underrepresented students to become leaders in their families and overcome barriers and help support their students’ academic success,” she said. “A lot of our parents have not gone beyond sixth grade or eighth grade,” Mione-Green said. The Community Resource Center is asking for $5,000 for its 31st annual Holiday Baskets, which will take place at the Del Mar TURN TO GRANT ON B15

Take part in Small Business Saturday COAST CITIES — In 2010, after nearly three years of recession, American Express decided to do something to help small businesses survive. It designated the Saturday after Thanksgiving as Small Business Saturday. In 2011, it was adopted by the U.S. Senate. On this day, consumers are asked to shop at independent retailers
and other small businesses, especially those that carry goods made in the U.S. On Nov. 30, keep your money here in North County as you “Shop Local, Save Local” which directly impacts the local economy and small business merchant and buyer. Many shops throughout the North Coast community will be offering special deals and give-
aways throughout the day, Nov. 30. In Leucadia, Bamboo 2 U and Tikis Too supports this growing trend with two days of Aloha Black Friday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. both Nov. 29 and Nov. 30. There will be free leis Saturday while supplies last and shoppers can also enjoy complimentary tropical beverages and nibbles from Dos Palmas Restaurant.
Additional opportunities to get to know the school during the 2013-14 school year include: • Classroom Observation Days: February 25 at 1 pm; April 8 at 9 am; May 13 at 1 pm; May 27 at 9 am • Family Open House on March 15; and • “Waldorf in the Middle School” Parent-Education evening on February 12 at 6:30 pm.

The Parent-Child program offers two 14-week sessions per year, and parents attend with their children one day per week. A new session begins January 20; families may sign up for the interest list via sanderlingschool.org. The Nursery/ Kindergarten program, which includes 3day and 5-day options, is designed to provide a nurturing, natural environment for children ages three to six years, while preparing them
for the academic world of the grade school. Additionally, children in the N/K prepare and eat an organic meal together in class each day. The Waldorf grade school experience is challenging and rich. In addition to the traditional subjects, Sanderling Waldorf School grade-school students receive instruction in specialty subjects including Spanish, German, handwork, outdoor games, musical instruments, gardening, and much more. Waldorf Education was founded in 1919 by Rudolf Steiner, an Austrian philosopher and teacher who also developed biodynamic agriculture. More than 1,000 Waldorf schools exist in more than 60 countries around the world. Waldorf schools are non-sectarian and non-denominational; and strive to teach a respect for nature while encouraging the development of the “whole” child: head, heart and hands. Teachers in Waldorf schools are dedicated to generating an inner enthusiasm for learning within every child.

An inside glimpse into the Scripps Encinitas birth pavilion Carlsbad resident Douglas Fenton, M.D., has the quintessential Southern California lifestyle. He bicycles with fellow physicians, motorbikes, skateboards and paddleboards. But Dr. Fenton really lights up when describing his work as medical director for the Leichtag Family Birth Pavilion at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas. Since assuming the role in 2009, Dr. Fenton has focused on making Scripps Encinitas the best hospital in North County
to deliver a baby.

What is your role at the Birth Pavilion? I believe our community deserves the best care and that starts with childbirth. To make that happen, I work with colleagues, a fantastic nursing staff and others to develop and implement new programs that improve quality and enhance patient satisfaction.As director, it’s my job to help the team pursue excellence. I want everyone to feel super special about what
What new programs have you been working on? We initiated an OB hospitalist program. This means we always have an obstetrician in the hospital, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. If there’s an emergency during childbirth,we don’t have to wait for an on-call physician to drive here.The hospitalist can step in immediately, and as a result, patient safety is very high. We are also expanding our neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), which we run in partnership with Rady Children’s Hospital, to care for more preterm babies. That way we can take care of them here, rather than sending them to another hospital, and mothers get to stay with their babies.We have also implemented perinatal consultations for women going through high-risk pregnancies.
Care Building opens in 2014? The Critical Care Building will have an enormously positive effect on the entire hospital. It will allow us to expand the postpartum unit, moving it upstairs, directly over the Birth Pavilion.
What are you most proud of at the Birth Pavilion? Many women come to Scripps Encinitas because we’re very supportive of natural childbirth. We don’t fit any patient into a mold. Rather, we discuss the patient’s expectations and how we can meet them. We want to ensure all families have an excellent experience that is consistent with good medical practice. This approach governs everything we do. We were the first hospital in San Diego to receive the Baby-Friendly designation from the World Health Organization and the United Nations Children’s Fund. This How will the Birth Pavilion be recognizes our commitment to affected when the new Critical helping women breastfeed. New moms have so many questions, and we want to help answer them. I’m particularly proud of the respectful atmosphere at the Birth Pavilion. Everyone enjoys their job and is working to create an excellent patient experience.This is one of many reasons why we have some of the highest patient satisfaction scores in the region. What do you like most about Scripps Encinitas? This hospital has kind of a small town feeling. There’s that intimacy: you know people and they’re happy to see you and say hello.It’s like coming home.

Fire in the hole! 1st MLG Marines train in demolitions By Lance Cpl. Shaltiel Dominguez
CAMP PENDLETON — “Fire in the hole! Fire in the hole! Fire in the hole!” shouted the Marines as the charges detonated from afar. The sound of the blast resonated within the bunker followed by a deafening silence. After the range was clear, the Marines exited the bunker and trudged up the demolitions range with more explosives in hand. Marines with Combat Logistics Battalion 15 and Combat Logistics Regiment 17, 1st Marine Logistics Group, conducted a basic demolitions course aboard Camp Pendleton, Nov. 13 through Nov. 15. “The Marines utilized expedient demolitions ranging from shaped charges, Bangalore torpedoes, claymore mines, TNT and dynamite,” said Staff Sgt. Karen Wilk, a combat engineer with CLR-17 and staff noncommissioned officer-in-charge of the training exercise. Before the three-day, live-fire stage of the course, the Marines received inten-

Approximately 44 Marines from 1st MLG participated in the three-day training course and received instruction on demolitions as well as combat life saving techniques, patrolling and radio operations.

sive classroom instruction on calculating net explosive weights and fuse timers, safety procedures and the application of conventional and field-expedient demolitions. The course was designed
to teach Marines without demolitions training how to use explosives in a combat environment. “The training is especially important for Marines who are not combat engineers
because it allows them to learn about the dangers and safety protocols involved and appreciate what combat engineers go through on a daily basis,” said Wilk, a native of Kent City, Mich.
11th MEU receives unique donation By Lance Cpl. Demetrius Morgan
CAMP PENDLETON — Marines and sailors from Camp Pendleton were the fortunate recipients of donated diapers from Huggies on Nov. 21. The 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit was in charge of facilitating the diapers for servicemembers and their families throughout the base. Huggies donated the diapers as a gesture of appreciation for the military. This is the second time that Camp Pendleton has received a donation from Huggies thanks to “For Families of Active Military.” “For the second time we are blessed to have Huggies work with us in giving this donation,” said Kyp Hughes, 11th MEU family readiness officer. “The effort from our volunteers, including Bridget Blehm, who is the founder and director of “For Families of Active Military,” and our Marines who helped unload

all those diapers, is very appreciated.” Early that morning, Hughes, along with other Marines with the MEU,
waited for the generous donation to be delivered. Once the truck came, the Marines immediately unloaded the diapers packed on pallets. The total amount of diapers on the truck was 150,000. According to Hughes, that is 50,000 more diapers than the last time. “People sometimes take things like diapers for granted,” said Cpl. Patrick Schindlebeck, a warehouse clerk with the 11th MEU.” Anyone with children knows that diapers get expensive, so gestures like this help take the money we were going to contribute to diapers and contribute it to something else especially with Christmas coming up.” According to Hughes, the donations primary purpose is to help the military
families. She said that these diapers represent the thanks from Huggies and that the appreciation from Huggies means more than the actual diapers. The MEU was among the nine different units to receive diapers from Huggies on Camp Pendleton. The MEU used its supply warehouse as an outpost for different units and families to take diapers. This gesture is only one of the many gestures that the military receives as thanks for their service. Hughes said that companies are honored to be able to assist our families and show support to all the military for the many sacrifices our military and their families make.
Safety was the top priority throughout the exercise. Leaders from 7th Engineer Support Battalion, 1st MLG, ensured the 44 students conducted all procedures correctly. “The reason why we were so successful was due to the noncommissioned officers that we have out here and [the two instructors] from 7th ESB,” said 1st Lt. Karl A. Novick, an engineer officer with Headquarters Company, CLR-17, and officer-in-charge of the exercise, adding, “[They both] have a lot of experience with demolitions and take an active role in the planning and economizing of the training process.” The exercise also showed the Marines the different uses of demolitions and their effects on targets. “Personally, I liked the variety of charges we employed that allowed the Marines to see different tech-
niques being used and how the targets were affected,” said 2nd Lt. Jorge SecadaLovio, range safety officer with CLB-15. In addition to demolitions training, the Marines also received instruction from subject matter experts on combat patrolling, radio operations and combat lifesaving techniques. The exercise provided students with a background in not only demolitions training, but also other skills they can use in a combat environment, helping them become well-rounded warfighters. “There are approximately 1,600 deployable Marines in the regiment,” said Novick, a native of Andover, Mass. “We trained about 50, and that’s a really small percentage. I hope to train more Marines in the regiment and help them further understand the nature of demolitions.”

It’s cupcake heaven at Yummy Cupcakes in Encinitas ple, on a weekday afternoon.
DAVID BOYLAN Lick the Plate K, I’m going to admit up front that I’ve always been a bit skeptical of stores dedicated solely to cupcakes. Maybe that’s because I’ve seen a few of them come and go in various locations and I’ve always wondered how one could sell enough cupcakes unless your location was such where foot traffic was heavy enough to generate significant volume. Well, that’s what’s wrong with assuming things before you actually spend some time getting to know the business and the people behind it as I did recently with Yummy Cupcakes in Encinitas. These are smart people with a solid plan and they have more than just cupcakes. I sat down with owner Shannon Mahoney and her partner Renato Cautela in their store recently and should point out that the entire time I was there the place was packed with peo-

How did Yummy Cupcakes come to be? Renato and I have been friends for over 10 years and we both were interested in working for ourselves. Renato has been a sales manager in the wine industry for over 25 years and has a passion for savory cooking. I have been in the marketing and events industry for 20-plus years and have a passion for baking. So, when this franchise opportunity came up we jumped on it. Along with our other two partners Michael and Dana Mahoney, we attended a “discovery day” at Yummy Cupcakes main location in Burbank, Calif., and fell in love with the concept We purchased the franchise in January of 2013 because of the variety and uniqueness. We are not just a cupcake store ... we are a solution to everyone’s sweet tooth craving! Our executive chef Tiffani Soforenko has created over 450 artisanal cupcake recipes and over 300 buttercream and cream cheese frosting recipes this alone makes us so unique. Unlike other cupcake stores in San Diego, we bake everything fresh every morning.

great tasting cupcake, but it is also about being able to be unique and give them as gifts. We are entering the holiday season and we have been taking a ton of orders for our Cupcakes in a Jar as holiday gifts for businesses to give employees, vendors and clients. Our Cupcake in a Jar is cupcakes cut and layered with frosting and the cupcake topping. They are a fun way to give a cupcake.

One mac & cheese recipe served 3 ways (BPT) — The chill of the season heralds many changes, including your appetite for heartier foods. This is the perfect time to break out the casserole dishes and whip up your family’s favorite comfort foods. Americans seem to agree that when it comes to comfort classics, macaroni and cheese is what they crave. In fact, according to mymacaroniandcheese.info, in any given 12-week period, approximately one-third of the population of the United States will eat macaroni and cheese at least once, that’s almost 105 million people. Mac and cheese is always in style and has inspired countless websites, books and even a song or two. The beauty of this menu standard is how easy it is to dress up or down — depending on your culinary preference (or ingredients you have handy). In fact, Laura Werlin, cheese expert and James Beard award-winning author, offers up 50 ways to customize mac and cheese in her new cookbook, “Mac & Cheese, Please!” “Throughout the years, macaroni and cheese has been a staple at dinner tables,” says Werlin. “Being from California, I love that California’s cow’s milk cheesemakers make over 250 styles of California cheeses. This variety leads to endless possibilities and opportunities for creating unique, memorable and delicious renditions.” One recipe yields three different, but all comforting mac & cheese dishes. All you need to make your own memorable rendition is the California Milk

There is also the San Luis Rey Mission, California Surf Museum and Oceanside Museum of Art. “We do have a lot of diversity,” Leslee Gaul, president and CEO of Visit Oceanside Conference & Visitors Bureau, said. “For people who want an authentic experience, Oceanside provides that.” The Tourism Marketing District was formed in April 2010 in response to the city tightening its belt during the recession and using transit occupancy tax funds in the general fund budget for vital services before money could be spent on promoting tourism. “We needed an alternate way to fund tourism marketing,” Gaul said. In order to continue to promote tourism the options were to raise the

Fairgrounds on Dec. 21 through Dec. 23. The DelSol Lions Club would like $1,500 to help buy supplies for back-to-school backpacks it provides for nearly 200 Solana Beach elementary school children. Maria McEneany, the club’s vice president of membership, said even by shopping at the $1 store, it costs about $35 to $40 to fill each backpack with items such as binders, dividers, paper, pencils, markers, planners, notebooks and a calculator. Earl Warren Middle School applied for $1,400 to expand its garden, which unites mainstream and challenged students to harvest and, when applicable, cook what they grow. Kids Korps USA is once again seeking $5,000 for its summer volunteer camps, a program developed for lowincome children and teenagers from Eden Gardens. Participants in the weeklong program perform a variety of community service projects that include beach cleanups, playing bingo at retirement homes and helping at food banks.
transit occupancy tax or form a Tourism Marketing District, which would be funded by collecting 1.6 percent of revenues from hotels. The city opted to start a Tourism Marketing District and began with collecting fees from hotels that have more than 30 rooms. With the success of the Tourism Marketing District, City Council voted to acceptance the petitions by hotels to continue the district on Nov. 20. “It does come back to us tenfold,” Councilwoman Esther Sanchez said. “It’s helping us make Oceanside a better Oceanside.” The 10-year renewed agreement will begin in April 2015 and charge all hotels a Tourism Marketing District fee. Fees are collected by the city, which keeps 1.6 percent of the fees for administration costs. Tourism Marketing District fees have given Visit Oceanside significantly more funds to use in its marketing efforts. Fees have helped promote the city to visitors,
businesses, religious groups and sports tournaments that travel to Oceanside from Arizona, Nevada and the Inland Empire. “We target the SMERF-type market — social, military, education, religious, and fraternal. Oceanside is perfect for that,” Gaul said. In addition to promoting all that the city offers, Visit Oceanside also works with Oceanside police and businesses to encourage them to provide visitors with a memorable experience. “We do a lot of work to make people think of themselves as ambassadors to the city,” Gaul said. “They are touch points for visitors.” Tourism Marketing District fees have also allowed more staff to come on board at Visit Oceanside Conference & Visitors Bureau to target off-season visitors. Future plans are to promote sports tournaments in the city’s inland areas and expand marketing efforts to draw in international travelers.
The 2014 summer camps will expose students to the number and needs of military families in the county. La Colonia de Eden Gardens applied for a $5,000 grant to help fund its summer leadership camp. Teenagers, mostly from Eden Gardens, spend a week at Whispering Winds in the Cuyamaca Mountains to develop leadership skills to help the community, learn about career opportunities, hike and swim. The theater school at North Coast Repertory Theater is asking for $5,000 to help produce “Seussical Jr.,” a musical performance that brings Dr. Seuss characters to life. SeaWeeders, an offshoot of the Solana Beach Garden Club, would like $3,500 to help “rejuvenate” the landscaping around the post office. The St. James and St. Leo Medical and Dental Program, an all-volunteer organization that provides services to the working poor with no insurance, is seeking $5,000 to help diabetes patients. Miracle League of San Diego applied for a $5,000 grant but could not attend
the meeting to give a presentation. Last year’s recipients were the Community Resource Center, Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito, the Center for Academic & Social Advancement, St. James and St. Leo Medical and Dental Program, Earl Warren Middle School Parent/Teacher/Student Association and Kids Korps USA. A grant request from North Coast Rep was fulfilled through the Public Arts Advisory Commission budget and Santa Fe Christian provided partial funding for Kids Korps and St. James and St. Leo and full funding for La Colonia de Eden Gardens. Applicants must be nonprofit, nongovernmental groups and civic or youth organizations that serve Solana Beach and its residents. A maximum of $5,000 will be awarded to any one program. City Council members will announce the recipients at the Dec. 11 meeting. “Thanks to the generosity of Santa Fe Christian Schools it’s a little easier,” Mayor Mike Nichols said. “We appreciate everything you do for the community.”

cold, and that was affecting the batteries, he said. But talking with Gaga before the event, he was impressed by what she had to say, adding that she was “definitely the most inspirational person I perhaps have ever met.” You really don’t get to know people like that by looking at photos or reading quotes in the media, he said.

gram to residents in the beach area, to name a few. “Does staff have enough time to take this on right now?” Haydu asked. “Currently, with our available staff, we are operating at capacity,” Planning Director Kathy Garcia said. “However, we could look at either adjusting priorities, extending some of the timeframes of some of our existing work — City Hall, parking management, et cetera.” “I don’t want to shortcut anything,” Haydu said. “Do you think if we’ve got staff working on too many things that it’s going to draw out so much or would it be better for staff to work on a few things at a time?” “If you want to move forward on this and you can tell us the level you want, we can come back and give you some options of how to accommodate that,” City Manager Scott Huth said. “We have a full plate, but we can move priorities around. It’s really based on what your priorities are, and we can explain our solutions to meet your needs.” Although her colleagues recognized her concerns, they opted to solicit bids from consultants to help get the project started. “If we hire a consultant it’s still going to take staff time so …we have to come up with what we want to push out further to tackle this,” Haydu said. “We don’t want to lose staff by overworking them.”
the flight,” he said. “And she was just so determined and focused. I was really, really impressed by meeting her. It was just an incredible experience.” Calderon said he came away from all of this, “inspired.” “I think one of the takeaways is that she could have gone to some major corporation,” he said. “But she wanted to show that somewhat regular people can pull together when they’re challenged with something like this that may seem impossible. And they could actually do that. “A lot of people said, ‘Oh, it’s impossible,’ ‘It’s crazy, it’s not going to happen,’ and so she proved she
was right. That if you really put your mind to something you can accomplish incredible things,” he added. He knows a little something about that as well. Earlier this year, Calderon and his wife filmed a documentary about unmanned aerial vehicles. While controversy surrounds how they’re used militarily, he noted the good ways in which they could be used, too. The film, “Civilian Drones — Search and Rescue,” can be seen for free on civiliandronesmovie.com.
The process outlined by Garcia, who said she has prepared a number of park master plans, would be done in three phases. The first step will include an initiative to determine a project manager, staff, key stakeholders, the number of meetings and a timeline for community involvement. There will also be a public outreach program, a community vision process, data collection for budgets and issues impacting the site, former home to Shores Elementary School, and site specific data. Phase two will include preliminary program development, planning alternatives and community review of those options. During the final phase, plans will be refined and further developed and a financial analysis will be completed. Community meetings will again be held before a plan is presented to City Council for approval. Garcia said the process will take about 12 to 18 months if a consultant is hired and up to two years if the work is done by city staff. The estimated cost is between $145,000 and $270,000, which includes consultant fees and, if needed, a full environmental impact report. The city could save money by forming a citizens ad hoc committee, but most council members didn’t support that option. “We’ve been discussing this use of this property for the last eight years and a con-
sensus has not emerged,” Mosier said. “I think it’s going to be useful to have a consultant come and then we’ll have open meetings to discuss the community’s priorities. And we’ll hear once again that there are 10 different priorities and we have to pick the top two. “But I think that’s not a job that the council should offload to an ad hoc committee,” he added.“I think somebody’s got to stand up and look at what the consultant says is the best use, what the community says and pick the uses that are most compatible, not only with the city’s plans but with the Winston School’s development plans. … The city needs to be the major driver on this process.” The Winston School recently began its master planning process. Mayor Terry Sinnott agreed.“I think it’s a very difficult problem that needs an objective, impartial, nobodyhas-any-ax-to-grind,” he said. “They’re just gathering data and getting people’s opinions.” Garcia said there will be opportunities along the way for the community to weigh in, “with at least a couple of workshops in each of those phases.” Mosier said the process should begin, but he doesn’t believe “there’s a great rush.” “The sooner we do it the better,” Councilman Al Corti said. Huth said he would return with an estimate of how much the project will impact staff and other council priorities.

You will be bidding on a lien, not on the property itself. Placing the highest bid at a trustee auction does not automatically entitle you to free and clear ownership of the property. You should also be aware that the lien being auctioned off may be a junior lien. If you are the highest bidder at the auction, you are or may be responsible for paying off all liens senior to the lien being auctioned off, before you can receive clear title to the property. You are encouraged to investigate the existence, priority, and size of outstanding liens that may exist on this property by contacting the county recorder’s office or a title insurance company, either of which may charge you a fee for this information. If you consult either of these resources, you should be aware that the same lender may hold more than one mortgage or deed of trust on the property. NOTICE TO PROPERTY OWNER: The sale date shown on this notice of sale may be postponed one or more times by the mortgagee, beneficiary, trustee, or a court, pursuant to Section 2924g of the California Civil Code.

Walk, ride and roll winners named Thirty-nine local organizations representing more than 82,000 employees participated in this year’s Rideshare Corporate Challenge. Throughout October, participants logged alternative commute trips online in the iCommute TripTracker tool. They helped to achieve substantial environmental savings: — 13.2 million vehicle miles not traveled, enough to circle the Earth 534 times — 575,420 gallons of gasoline saved, which amounts to almost $2.3 million in fuel savings — 11.6 million pounds of carbon dioxide emissions avoided, equivalent to emissions from electricity use by 448 homes in one year Also in October, a record-
breaking 47 schools took part in the Walk, Ride, and Roll to School Challenge. Collectively, they represented more than 30,000 students countywide. Overall, participants logged 8,582 miles in the iCommute TripTracker tool during the challenge. The Walk, Ride, and Roll to School Challenge was made possible by iCommute Annual Partners: San Diego Zoo and San Diego County Bicycle Coalition, and Event Presenting Partner: Chipotle Mexican Grill. Rideshare 2013 was supported by Annual Transportation Partners: Metropolitan Transit System, North County Transit District, and Caltrans, as well as Event Supporters Enterprise Rideshare and vRide.

Love and laziness must not lead to a nonproductive year. Spending more than you make or living on the edge will entice you. Change is required, but pick and choose what’s most important before you make a move. Get moving, and you’ll have no regrets. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — Mingle with your peers and find out where you stand. Share your thoughts, but keep your personal preferences a secret. Don’t get angry when action is needed. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Keep your emotions in check and your mind on what needs to be done. You will have opportunities to meet potential partners if you mingle with people who share your concerns. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — A lack of communication isn’t always a bad thing. Take time to think about the way you feel and what you want to convey before you make a move that may limit future discussions. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — Lend a helping hand, and you will end up receiving as much in return. A personal partnership will undergo emotional stress if you cannot agree on a financial matter. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Set up
investments that will give you a tax break. An emotional issue due to an unpredictable incident is likely to influence your living arrangements and your love life. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Take care of personal business and discuss your plans with anyone who will be affected by the decisions you make. Expand your interests and your future prospects. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — Do your best to help others, but don’t meddle or you will end up in an awkward position. A physical activity will help you feel rejuvenated and ready to take on new interests. CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Look at the way others live and the interests and differences between yourself and those in your community. Sharing your philosophy or way of doing things will encourage new friendships. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Listen to any complaints being made at home and show compassion for anyone going through a tough time. Your attentiveness will help change the way someone thinks about and treats you. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Personal investing and moneymaking ideas will lead to victory. Suggestions you make will put you in the driver’s seat at meetings. Offer an unusual solution. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Sensitive issues at home or at work will leave you questioning your next move. Don’t procrastinate when you should be dealing with issues swiftly. Don’t let emotions intervene. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — A secret is likely to be divulged. Protect your reputation, assets and future prospects. Personal changes must be given great thought before you proceed. Love is in the stars.

COLLEGE EXPANDS The Palomar Community College District Governing Board, including, from left, Palomar College Superintendent/President Robert P. Deegan, Governing Board Trustee John Halcón, Student Trustee and President of the Associated Student Government Jennifer Gonzalez, Governing Board President Nancy Chadwick, Governing Board Vice President Paul McNamara and Governing Board Trustee Mark Evilsizer, cut the ribbon at the newly renovated Escondido Education Center Nov. 15. The center is at the corner of East Valley Parkway and Midway Drive, now home to almost 5,000 students and was funded through Proposition M, a $694 million bond measure approved by voters in November 2006.

‘Affordable’ health care south of border JOE MORIS Baby Boomer Peace I just finished three sets of doubles tennis on some beautiful courts in El Tigre out in Nuevo Vallarta. Nuevo Vallarta is around the airport north of Puerto Vallarta. It’s a beautiful master planned development with many four- and five-star resorts, condos and homes. They also have the premier Medical Vacation Hospital right at its entrance — San Javier Hospital — that is as good as any in the United States with a fraction of the cost for every type of care imaginable. Many of those I have met in Nuevo Vallarta speak of their trips in their boats and yachts around the world. I tell them I live in the low rent district out in the Hoteleria Zona. It doesn’t matter to them. I’m just another person on the other side of the net that they want to beat. Afterward we find a sweet palapa on the beach and sip mango margaritas. That’s what is funny in life. It doesn’t matter what kind of financial shape you’re in, we’re all still just humans trying to find our peace after struggling through the life of adoles-
cence, college or learning a trade, getting married and having a family and all that entails — houses, cars, little league, dance and piano lessons, caring for the family pets. For me, all of that is starting to become a blur. I find myself watching what is happening in our country from afar. It seems like everyone is at someone else’s throat. Everyone wants their piece of a pie that doesn’t exist. Some readers think I’m a hypocrite and want me to feel guilty for taking my Social Security. I want to repeat, it is my social security. It was money that was supposed to be in a lockbox for me and when I see people drinking from the trough of the Social Security system for illegitimate disability and illegals getting assistance I can’t help slapping my forehead. I don’t understand how we put our money into the hands of such charlatans in Congress who allowed things like this to happen. Now I understand that Congress also stole money from Medicaid to pay for a bogus “Affordable” Care Act, better known as Obamacare. What a joke. Stealing from seniors? How low is that? I personally chose not to use my VA benefits for healthcare because that is a real government expense.
It is my small way of trying not to drink from the government cup. I pay my own way. If I can’t pay for my care, put me in a box. I’m a libertarian and I think we should all take care of ourselves. At worst, buy an extreme catastrophic care policy and take care of the rest yourself (if Obamacare will let you). Apparently everyone now needs maternity and drug rehab coverage. Go find the premiere doctors that take cash and see you the same day. You’ll get a great discount and end up with the best care in the world. That’s my opinion. As for President Obama and as far as I’m concerned, Joe Wilson was correct when he called our president a liar during the State of the Union address a couple of years back and was excoriated for it. So, I sit on a warm beach as I write this. Others might prefer Hawaii, Tahiti, the Caribbean or some other locale where life is slower, but by all means, please go find your peace before your time runs out. Since time waits for no one may peace be with you now and always!
