Fall race meet again a fashionable opening

By Bianca Kaplanek

DEL MAR — The second annual Bing Crosby Season at the Del Mar Racetrack kicked off in high-fashion, low-key form, with attendance at 6,144, roughly half the number of people who attended last year’s inaugural opening day.

C.P. McBride, director of media relations for the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, said this is the first year Del Mar hosted a race meet during the Breeders’ Cup, which was held Oct. 30 and 31. The local track agreed to alternate years with Santa Anita.

“We were hopeful that would be an event in itself,” McBride said.

“As it turns out it really doesn’t seem that way.

“The Breeders’ Cup is a TV event for an awful lot of people,” he added. “They realized they don’t need to get in their cars, pay for gas and pay for parking to watch it on TV here because that’s what they’re going to do at home.

“So the numbers weren’t as high as we hoped,” McBride said.

“Now we’ll go back into the mode of self-promotion rather than hoping the Breeders’ Cup will carry us.”

The numbers were much better on the money side, with Del Mar handling $18.4 million on Oct. 31, about $1 million less than it did the day of the Pacific Classic during Making their second appearance on fall opening day are celebrity look-alikes Marilyn Monroe and Clark Gable, aka, Allie Moss and Ralph Chelli. the summer meet.

“That’s extraordinary,” Mc Bride said. “It’s huge. The Breeders’ Cup is a big horse event. But it appears people would rather stay home than come to the track and be part of that environment. So we take the good with the bad.”

McBride said Santa Anita experienced similar opening day numbers as the California host for the Breeders’ Cup last year.

The Oct. 29 opener at Del Mar once again attracted about 100 entrants in a Vintage Hollywood Fashion Contest that offered more than $3,000 in prizes in three categories — most glamorous, bestdressed couple or debonair man and best celebrity look-alike or famous movie character.

Dressed as Lauren Bacall, Lynn Wheeler of Rancho Santa Fe won first place and the Bing Crosby grand prize, a two-night getaway at L’Auberge Del Mar that includes dinner at Kitchen 1540 and breakfast at Coastline, the seaside hotel’s two restaurants.

First-, second- and third-place contestants received $300, $200 and $100, respectively, in each category.

Lori Shelton as Audrey Hepburn and Sarah Miller as Lucille Ball took second and third place as celebrity look-alikes. The most glamorous prize winners were Erin TURN TO RACES ON A13

Rancho Santa Fe Association renews contract with CHP

By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — The board of directors of the RSF Association unanimously agreed to renew its annual contract with the California Highway Patrol (CHP).

According to Capt.

Amy Mangan of the CHP, they have partnered with the Rancho Santa Fe’s supplemental enforcement, the Rancho Santa Fe Patrol, for more than a decade. Mangan described it

as a great partnership.

“I have to say that my troops love being out here,” she said. “This is a very good community for us and we enjoy it.”

In the partnership, she said, what has been exciting is to see a significant decrease in collisions.

The CHP and Rancho Santa Fe Patrol have a solid presence.

This year, an increase in CHP attention included parking issues in the

Village so there was a renewed effort.

“What we really try to do is get compliance through a little education and nice conversation,” she said.

Another CHP focus was regarding bicycling issues. Mangan told the board and members that there is an increase in widespread bicycle accidents over the past few years.

“As an avid cyclist, I

know how scary it can be to have cars come up too close to you and sometimes we feel that that’s intentional,” she said.

From the driver’s perspective, Mangan genuinely understood the frustration that takes place when cyclists start disobeying the laws such as taking up lanes when they should not.

Mangan also noted a few driving under the influence instances, speed-

ing issues, intersection violations, and cell phone distractions while driving.

“The intersection and cell phone are two of the things that we really see a lot of and they’re just so dangerous,” she said, noting how speed also falls under this category.

After addressing the board’s questions regarding parking issues in the Village, Mangan reiterated their attention has increased in this area.

RANCHO SANTA FE — A Nov. 5 meeting at the Rancho Santa Fe Association revealed its recent community-wide survey results which indicated that 73 percent of property owners prefer roundabouts over traffic signals along the Paseo Delicias intersections of Via de la Valle, El Montevideo/ La Valle Plateada, and El Camino del Norte.

According to the Association, a total of 1,937 surveys were sent out and 1,124 were returned. Calculations specified that 817 voters favored roundabouts while 272 desired traffic signals.

Association manager Bill Overton discussed the survey results at the meeting. He reiterated that technically, the issue of deciding between traffic signals and roundabouts did not require a vote per their bylaws or outlined by state law. This is why the board decided to initiate a survey and send one to every property owner, including those that weren’t registered to vote at the Association.

Overton pointed out that many were concerned that there would not be a good response.

“A 58 percent return rate is an exceptional response to the survey,” he said. “I realize there’s still high passions about this issue in the community and very much respect that.”

Overton said he felt the survey process was well run and managed.

“Again, I understand not all fully agree with that, but I accept that,” he said. Overton continued, “I think it (the survey) was very open and transparent.”

Overton went on to say that he stood by the voice of community. He believed the results were strong enough to proceed with a recommendation to inform the county about the survey’s response to roundabouts.

Overton told the board and attendees that he was under the impression that the county’s general preference was to have Covenant members decide.

“So we want to pass the results along,” he said, describing them as TURN TO ROUNDABOUTS ON A13

Art for Barks launched fine art challenge

By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — The most stunning aspect of animal art is the diversity among the artists.

Art for Barks, a nonprofit based in Rancho Santa Fe, breathes new life in a multitude of artistic ways.

Recently, it hosted a one-of-a-kind event, “Paws & Paint,” at the Solana Beach City Hall Gallery and Patio.

Artists who took part in the event submitted their original service dog fine art.

Winners for the day included Ally Benbrook securing first place with her piece: “PTSD Wounded Warrior,” followed by Cris Weatherby in second place, and Dana Hawk in third.

According to Lynn Moon, founder of Art for Barks, in addition to the fine art the day also was a springboard for family-orientated animal events and pet care educational activities.

Moon said their artists and authors provided enriching entertainment, the veterinarians helped optimize pet care, and the dog trainers helped make pets safe and content.

Also on hand were celebrity guests. Moon wanted everyone to know that professional baseball player, Travis Lee and his Therapy Dog Bella, who visit hospitals daily to help people recover were there, Surf Dog Ricochet and pet

“Paws & Paint was a free family animal event provided by Art for Barks and run entirely by impressive volunteers. Significant art and animal professionals also donated their time to entertain and educate pet parents,” Moon said.

“All of these individuals

have to be exceptional to give up their valuable professional and family time on a Saturday afternoon.

We enthusiastically thank these individuals who are making a valuable contribution to the community.”

Moon went on to say that Art for Barks is a unique online charity bringing together outstanding artists and authors in an effort to help promote public awareness of service dogs, rescue animals and

optimum pet care.

“Paws & Paint was an attractive event for animal lovers that fully expressed Art for Barks creative approach to solving significant animal issues,” she said, adding that feedback from the event was exhilarating.

“Families and pets had a great time while learning to be outstanding pet parents. Art for Barks plans to make Paws & Paint an annual event.”

“I’ve gotten so much all my life. I’ve enjoyed all the pain because I’ve learned so much,” Russell said. “I’ve got a lot to share and a lot to give.”

Exit exam demise cheapens high school graduation California Focus

By Thomas D. Elias The single easiest bill for California legislators to pass this year probably was Senate Bill 725, giving about 5,000 high school students the ability to graduate without taking the state’s high school exit exam, which suddenly became unavailable when they tried to take it in July.

But then the lawmakers went much further and, with approval from the quixotic Gov. Jerry Brown, effectively nullified everything the exit exam had accomplished since 2006.

Failure to pass the exit test since that time had meant not merely an inability to graduate, but also could cancel previously-arranged college admissions and some military enlistments. By being so definitive, it also let employers and others know that a California high school graduate would have certain knowledge and skills.

Legislators clearly could not let 5,000 kids no longer able to access the exam be stranded, plainly justifying their votes of 37-0 in the state Senate and 77-1 in the Assembly to grant those students a reprieve.

But there was no reprieve for the exit exam, suspended since state education officials declined to renew a contract that expired in May with the firm that formerly administered the test.

Their reason: The exit exam did not conform in its math and language arts sections to the Common Core curriculum now being taught in public schools.

Somehow, that didn’t keep the vast majority of high schoolers from passing it. The pass rate last year was just over 95 percent, with many students taking

the test as early as their sophomore year. Why has it been so easy? One reason might be that the exit exam’s math section covered mostly sixth- and seventh-grade material, while the English portion reached only the 10th-grade level.

The rationale for discarding all results of the exit exam since 2006 and allowing diplomas to everyone who failed it but met other graduation requirements was that it did not test according to the new Common Core standards.

So what? Common Core did not apply in those years, and the vast majority of students passed the test.

One newspaper then featured a happy-talk story about a young woman who failed the math portion of the exam repeatedly, but suddenly became a high school graduate and thus eligible to pursue a registered nurse degree. Would you want someone unable to do seventh grade math calculating fractional drug dosages your doctor might prescribe for you?

The exit exam actually filled its main purpose most of the time it existed, as the story of the putative nurse illustrates.

That purpose was as a kind of certification that any high school graduate in the state could safely be assumed to know things no one had been sure of during the era of social promotion that preceded its adoption in 2005.

Now that Common Core has made changes in basic curriculum, legislators easily passed a bill by Democratic state Sen. Carol Liu of La Canada-Flintridge suspending the exit exam requirement until 2019.

Between now and then, educators are supposed to develop a new test. Its nature is still unknown, but a 2013 report by state Schools Supt. Tom Torlakson might

offer some clues. He suggested some “alternatives” to the then-in-force exit exam.

One would eliminate the exit test as a standalone graduation requirement and use results of the Smarter Balanced assessments – computerized tests aligned with Common Core — to determine readiness for graduation. The state Education Department bills them as the “new generation” of student proficiency assessments.

Another was to use Smarter Balanced tests together with results of voluntary exams like the SAT college admissions test to tell whether students are worthy of graduation. The trouble with that is that it’s usually only college-bound students who take the voluntary tests.

Torlakson also said successful completion of certain courses could determine whether students meet graduation requirements. That could be a lot like life before the exit exam.

The ultimate outcome will likely be an exit exam of some kind, since legislators like state Senate Republican leader Robert Huff are on record saying “Without an exit exam, we will return to the days (of no) guarantee of minimum mathematics and language arts competency. We can’t let that happen to California students.”

So it’s highly uncertain what the new graduation standards will look like.

Meanwhile, the anxiety, efforts and accomplishment of more than 2 million students who passed the test since 2006 are now rendered essentially meaningless.

The Center for Rural Affairs has worked to support and assist beginning farmers and ranchers for over 25 years. And increasingly, beginning farmer and rancher inquiries come from military veterans. They have the same needs as other new farmers: access to land, financing and information. But they also bring new issues: disabilities, returning to civilian life, a drive to help fellow veterans, a powerful sense of wanting to be of service to their country.

The Center’s Veteran Farmers Project was launched to provide information, encouragement, connections, and referrals that help beginning farmers and ranchers access land and financing, identify markets, build business plans, and more.

We also connect veteran-farmers with other veterans; to help retain and rebuild bonds with others who have served in the military and help each other overcome the obstacles of building a farm business and returning to civilian life. We refer veteran-farmers to resource providers who can help with disability

services, business advising, finding mentors, gaining production and marketing experience, and other needs.

Farming fits veterans, and veterans fit farming. Many veterans want to return to small town America to raise their families.

And we welcome them home.

However, educational opportunities, offfarm jobs, health services, and young peers are in short supply across much of rural and small town America. That makes networks such as those built through the Center’s Veteran Farmers Project, and the infrastructure and public policies we’re working to create, vitally important to our veterans who want to farm and ranch.

Established in 1973, the Center for Rural Affairs is a private, non-profit organization working to strengthen small businesses, family farms and ranches, and rural communities through action oriented programs addressing social, economic, and environmental issues.

Letters to the Editor Chambers got it right Your cartoonist, S.H. Chambers, put the issue of short-term home rentals more in focus than any of the thousands of opinions I’ve read on the subject.

The cartoon: a 20-something guy is knocking on the door of a home owner and saying: “Hello, my name is Jason and I’ll be your neighbor this weekend. Say, I was wondering if I could borrow a cup of Scotch.”

Magnify that picture by thousands and you’ll see what the backbone of any community, its home owners, are up against.

If dedicated and motivated home owners have any hope for stemming the tide against them, the time to speak out in unison is NOW! Because there is far more at stake here than meets the eye, or all of the illusory and short-sighted profit motives combined.

damn, only owners do.

Jim Donovan, Del Mar Is it OK to take money from someone?

Is it OK to take money from someone and give it to someone else? Is it OK to take money from someone, using force if necessary, and give it to someone else?

I suspect most people would say “no,” or maybe even “hell no, that’s stealing.” But that’s exactly how socialism works. A group of people decide that a person or group of people have “too much” or “more than enough” so they figure out a way to take money from the people with “too much” money and give it to people they decide “don’t have enough.”

The scheme breaks down when the “rich” person decides it’s not worth working so hard and earning so much only to have it taken from you and given to some-

one you don’t know. So the “rich” person stops working and innovating and purposefully becomes less “rich.”

If the “rich” person decides he doesn’t want to give his money to the people that want to give it to other people, then he is put in jail, by force if necessary.

This is true even if the “rich” person needs the money to take care of a family health issue, handle some other personal emergency or give it to someone he feels is deserving of the money.

Charity is great, it makes the person giving feel great and it’s typically received with a heart of gratitude. Government sponsored charity, socialism, isn’t given nor is it received with the same heart. It’s never OK to take money from someone in order to give it to someone else, especially with the threat of force.

RSF Association mails off voter registration packets

By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — Recently, the Rancho Santa Fe Association mailed voter registration forms to Covenant members that may not already be registered.

According to the Association, around 370 mailings were delivered, and so far, the registration response has been positive.

Daria Quay, executive assistant at the RSF Association, is championing this project.

“The board of directors has several upcoming important issues to vote on, and probably three of them will be next year,” Quay said. “We encourage everyone to vote; however, we have some people who have either not registered to vote or maybe they’re fairly new in town and haven’t yet registered so we’d like them to do so.”

RSF inches closer to roundabouts

By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — A recent community-wide survey revealed that an overwhelming percentage of Rancho Santa Fe property owners were in favor of roundabouts along the Paseo Delicias/Del Dios Highway.

The Rancho Santa Fe Association Board of Directors will soon be issuing a letter to the county alerting them that they are ready to move forward with roundabout construction based on the survey’s 73 percent approval numbers.

The questions Covenant members and the Board raised included what steps to take next and how soon the construction installation process can begin.

At a recent board meeting, association planner Larry Roberts of the RSF Association was on hand for an overview.

Roberts told the board that they can offer their opinions, however, there were certain guidelines that

the county had to adhere to regarding the roundabouts.

He pointed out that the county would be able to work with the Association regarding the roundabout lighting. Roberts said the Association has already conveyed that they prefer to have multiple lights that are lower and less bright and that only cast light across the paved section.

In areas where there are not strict guidelines, the county may be more flexible with requests such as these.

Heather Slosar, vice president of the RSF Association, wanted to know if there was any way to help expedite the construction process with the county.

Based on the survey results, Roberts said, the county would restart their finalization of the roundabout studies that were done, conclude the EIR and approve this as a project.

“Once the county has a defined project, it just gets thrown into their queue, I suppose you call it, but it’s a flexible thing so that they

evaluate each intersection or each project in the county based on its cost and its perceived benefit,” Roberts said.

Another area is funding which is part of the ranking process.

“If you happen to fall above the line, you get built.

If you fall below the line, you don’t, and then you get into the next funding cycle,” he said “Roundabouts are more expensive than signals so signals could potentially be built earlier, but the county’s people who are in charge of the funding said that isn’t necessarily the way it would work. If they’ve got the money and if the need is there, they’ll spend it. If they don’t, they don’t.”

The overview given by Roberts triggered board members to think of a variety of ways to help advance the construction.

Roberts told the Board and members that nailing down a date of completion would be difficult to do at this time.

Developers may knock on doors for info outreach SOLANA BEACH — Several developers have submitted proposals to NCTD to develop the Solana Beach Train Station property. Public workshops will be held at Skyline Elementary School, 606 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, from 6 to 8 p.m. Nov. 19 and from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Nov. 21.

The city of Solana Beach wants the public to be aware that some of the developers who submitted proposals to develop the train station property have decided to conduct door-todoor contact and other outreach to Solana Beach residents. Their outreach will

be in advance of the two upcoming public workshops.

NCTD is still in the process of evaluating the various proposals and has not reached any determination.

NCTD has not selected and does not endorse any developer or specific proposal for development of the train station site.

In addition, the city of Solana Beach has not approved and not endorsed any particular developer’s proposal.

Note that any action taken by a developer to contact city residents should not be construed to mean that the developer has re-

ceived any approval, support, or endorsement from NCTD or the city for their particular proposal.

The train station property consists of the train station and adjoining parking lot and is located on the northwest corner of North Cedros Avenue and Lomas Santa Fe Drive, between Lomas Santa Fe Drive and Cliff Street. The developers who have submitted proposals for development of the train station site will have the opportunity to present their proposals at two public workshops that will be held by the City later this month.

However, if a property is held differently such as a corporation or business, Quay said, members will need to give the Association a call because a different from may be required.

According to Quay, if a member has not received a mailing they are probably already registered to vote.

It is Quay’s hope that recipients of the mailings will complete their forms swiftly so she can provide a finalized list to the RSF Board of Directors at their December meeting.

The Association wants every member of the Covenant to have a voice in upcoming community wide votes because they are stakeholders.

Big issues are coming up, Quay said, and if people own property in the Covenant, it’s important that they participate.

Quay went on to say that according to their records, mailings have specifically gone out to those who have not submitted their voter registration form.

The Association hopes these members complete their registration and mail it back in the blue envelope provided.

While there is no specific timeframe for completion, the optimal is a quick turnaround.

“We’d like to have everybody fill out their voter registration as soon as possible,” she said, noting how the first community-wide vote may be as early as January.

Quay wants members to know that there are two forms enclosed in the mailing. One for property’s held in a trust, and the other, for property’s held by sole owners or co-owners.

Building community in the Village Voices from the Village

By Stacey Pennington

My family moved to Rancho Santa Fe when I was 7 years old. I cried as we pulled out of our driveway in Littleton, Colo.

There was much to do with neighbors and friends.

Our neighborhood was centered on Bow Mar Lake, which offered ice-skating and hockey games in the winter as well as swimming and sailing in the summer. The community pool and tennis courts, the center of my world, were a walk or bike ride from our home.

We quickly transitioned to our new lives in Rancho Santa Fe. I grew up in a Lillian Rice home that anchored five acres of adventure and responsibilities. We took care of our horses, donkeys, dogs, parrots and a pig. We didn’t have the community amenities I had grown to adore, but we did have a vibrant and dynamic Village.

The Lillian Rice-de-

Stacey Pennington

signed Village defined our every day: the Pantry deli, Ashley’s market with the best fried chicken, Jonathans grocery store, Quimby’s burgers, Gavroche for my cotillion dresses, our family doctor and dentist, the pharmacy, a few banks and other businesses.

A lot has changed in Rancho Santa Fe. The Village has shifted from the vibrant core of our community to an area serving primarily realtors, banks and other financial businesses.

After working as an Urban Planner in down-

town San Diego and abroad, my husband and I chose to move back to the Ranch in 2011. I understand professionally and personally that this is a pivotal time for our community.

Should we limit our future to what we have today or imagine what we could have? We have layers of history, a beautiful Village and a community of wonderful people. As a realtor would say, our town has “good bones.”

The Village Revitalization Task Force was created to address our future and update the 2006 Master Plan. The committee is considering how diverse shops and businesses can be integrated into the Village.

These traditional planning efforts are critical, and they take time to implement. However, there is much we can do to re-energize our Village in the meantime, and so the Village Vibrancy Subcommittee was formed.

The subcommittee has created an initiative known as the “Village VIBE,” a series of commu-

nity gatherings to collect resident input and help inform the future of the Village.

Since September, the VIBE has successfully engaged more than 650 residents. Residents have shown they want to be involved, connect with one another in community spaces, enjoy casual family friendly dining and provide meaningful feedback about the future of our town.

The VIBE has the potential to help shape meaningful change that revitalizes the Village and builds a sense of community in this incredible place.

RSF Foundation awards $97,000 to military community REGION ­ — Veterans Day for 10 nonprofits serving the military community in San Diego County comes with a grant from the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation this year.

The Patriots Connection, a program of the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation, awarded $97,500 to 10 San Diego nonprofits serving the military community.

Grants went to organizations serving four areas of need for military service members, veterans and their families.

• Basic Needs — Camp Pendleton ASYMCA, Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank, Support the Enlisted Project (STEP) • Education & Jobs — Easter Seals of Southern California, Workshops for Warriors • Physical & Mental Health — Kids’ Turn San Diego, Resounding Joy • Social & Personal Connections — Fleet Week San Diego, USO San Diego, Wreaths Across America “The programs the

grants will support at these organizations demonstrate meaningful outcomes and a significant number of people served,” said Debbie Anderson, Programs Director at the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation.

The Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank provides food to more than 28,000 active duty military, their families and veterans every month.

Workshops for Warriors provides a 16-week machining/welding program for military service

members transitioning out of service. USO San Diego provides Thanksgiving dinner at the Airport Center for traveling military service members and boxed meals at Duty Stations for those on Duty Watch.

The Patriots Connection at the Rancho Santa Fe Foundation is honored to support these and other programs through annual grant awards.

The foundation has awarded over $1 million to nonprofits serving the military since 2009.

Organizing volunteers for El Niño winter preparedness

Northbound vince vasquez

W

hat role can residents play in preparing North County for a wet El Niño winter?

I’ve been mulling this question for some time. Recently, I authored a report on the effects of severe El Niño winter storms in San Diego County.

Our knowledge of these weather events is limited to a small sample. Still, in prior years, El Niño destruction in California has included damaged homes and buildings, landslides, mudslides, shoreline erosion, oil spills, and damage to roads, campgrounds, park and parking lots.

We have also seen injuries and loss of life; the 1982-83 El Niño winter storms resulted in 481 injuries and 36 deaths statewide, and 17 deaths in 1997-98.

Some county residents appear to be at greater risk of El Niño flooding than others. The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) identifies areas that have a 1 percent chance of flooding in any given year as “100-year flood zones.”

These zones, which can be found throughout the region, are highly susceptible to flooding during flood events.

Using GIS software and U.S. Census data, I identified that approximately 54,560 county residents live in these floodprone places.

Using additional data sources, I also found that 100-year flood zones are home to 4,798 businesses and 21,706 housing units.

While the majority of these hot spots can be found in the City of San Diego, San Marcos, Escondido and Oceanside had particularly large, populated flood zones.

I know many city and county officials have been working overtime to prepare for severe storms, and have encouraged residents to put together emergency kits and evacuation plans in

the event of an emergency.

That’s needed and prudent at this time.

Still, I’m interested in finding out how volunteer power and private donations can proactively help city and county agencies reach their maintenance and safety goals before the winter storms arrive.

While able-bodied, financially solvent residents may be able to get their homes storm-ready, what about seniors, low-income families, and the disabled?

Could volunteer brigades organize and help at-need residents with installing and cleaning gutters, or preparing yard drainage?

How about cleaning flood channels and riverbanks of debris and invasive plants that block the flow of water?

Imagine city mayors joining with the Board of Supervisors to ask every county resident to give eight to 10 hours of volunteer time over the Thanksgiving holiday break to help prepare for what may be a historic flood event this winter.

Municipal departments, nonprofit organizations and community groups could partner together to identify priority projects that could use more hands, more dollars, and more shovels. Who wouldn’t answer that call to action?

Such an effort wouldn’t be unprecedented.

The Canyon Crusaders is a group of volunteers, organized and directed by a San Diego City Park Ranger, and assembles weekly to remove weeds and debris from creek beds and canyons.

I Love A Clean San Diego is a nonprofit group that organizes clean-up events throughout our region year round. More public-private partnerships can help us prepare for the unknown, and possibly save lives.

In times of crisis, San Diegans of all walks of life come together to help those in need.

Rather than wait until after disaster strikes, why not be proactive in asking for helping hands and donations now?

ViaSat expands Carlsbad footprint; Internet services explained. “We provide 12 mbps (megabits per second) to each seat.

That is the source of our growth. Our government growth will continue around 20 percent this year.”

ViaSat’s previous satellite launch, in 2011, provided airline Internet coverage throughout most of the contiguous U.S. With the new satellite, the coverage would expand across the Atlantic Ocean into Europe, south to Central America as well as the Middle East.

CARLSBAD — One of the city’s largest employers is expanding again.

ViaSat, a broadband and technology company, has purchased 23 acres in the Bressi Ranch neighborhood east of El Camino Real and south of Gateway Road for its sprawling campus.

A purchase price was not disclosed.

The burgeoning company, which employs about 2,000 people in Carlsbad, acted quickly to purchase the land. ViaSat is also the largest tech and communications employer in the city.

“We had three buildings when we moved here,” Rich Baldridge, president and COO of ViaSat said. “It was hard to see what we were going to be back in 1999. It was the last contiguous property … and we had to reach out an grab it while we could.”

The land is a necessity for ViaSat’s future, which is becoming more entrenched in the commercial sector, while maintaining its roots in government services.

Baldridge said ViaSat, whose commercial Internet service is under the Exede banner, is preparing for its biggest challenge to date, with the largest broadband satellite set to launch next year.

Hawthorne-based SpaceX will carry the satellite into space, and the reward would be a game changer for ViaSat.

ternet download speeds of 25, 50 and 100 mbps. It will more than double the capacity of its predecessor, while Baldridge said the company has designs for a future satellite with 10 times the capacity.

“That is going to bring into play a completely new level of Internet service that people don’t understand,” he added. “We think that market is millions, if not above 10 million, subscribers we can address and be competitive with. We think we can compete with cable, TURN TO VIASAT ON A13

The Carlsbad company entered the commercial Internet market in 2008 when it announced it developed the world’s largest capacity satellite and launched in 2011.

The company’s growth in the commercial market was bolstered by a pair of reports authored by the Federal Communications Commission.

In 2013 and 2014, ViaSat’s Exede service ranked No. 1 in delivering advertised Internet speeds. Ac-

cording to the report, ViaSat delivered “approximately 140 percent of its advertised upload and download speeds” consisting of 14 broadband providers representing 80 percent of U.S. connections.

In addition, ViaSat was the only satellite company who agreed to take part in the study.

“We expanded in the satellite market,” Baldridge said. “Since 2008, our revenue has more than tripled.”

In addition, ViaSat is

the wireless Internet provider for airline carriers Jet Blue, United and Virgin American to deliver the service to each seat on board their jets. ViaSat covers all of Jet Blue’s fleet, while about half of United’s planes carry the service. Virgin America, meanwhile, installed the service on 10 new jets, although the number could grow based on positive results.

“It’s really based on the ability to stream live content to the plane,” Baldridge

Professional tennis returns with Carlsbad Classic North County remains

a focal point in baseball’s revolving door sports talk

By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD — In less than two weeks, the eyes of the tennis world shift back to the city once again.

Two years after the departure of the Women’s Tennis Association’s Southern California Open relocated to Japan, a new tournament is taking hold.

The Carlsbad Classic commences Nov. 22 through Nov. 29 at the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort as the new tournament shoots to become one of the top destinations in professional tennis.

Tournament Director Ben Goldsmith said his goal for the tournament is to become one of the top draws on the circuit and, eventually, lead into the Indian Wells event. He said the Indian Wells tournament is the largest in the world “by volume” and, with an aggressive approach, the Carlsbad Classic would be an ideal warm-up tournament for the WTA’s top talent.

“We are one of three tournaments in California,” Goldsmith said. “We have no intentions of staying small … but we have to impress the WTA with our attendance numbers. We know we have a built in fan base.”

Finally, Goldsmith said the plan is to include men’s and doubles formats.

But first, Goldsmith

and Director of Ticket Sales Kyla Brown are focused on spreading the word in addition to managing the final preparations for the inaugural event.

The main court is currently under construction as a brand new surface is being installed. The temporary facility will have a capacity of 2,200.

Ticket prices, meanwhile, are where Goldsmith and Brown said they hope to drive up attendance.

Daily prices are $40 for box seats (Nov. 23 to Nov. 27) and $20 for general admission. Box seats for the semifinals (Nov. 28) and finals (Nov. 29) run $50.

“We have everything right here at the venue,” Brown said. “Yes, we are starting out smaller, but we have a base here in San Diego County. We are not going anywhere.”

The weeklong event kicks off Nov. 22 with a VIP gala hosted by TV person-

ality and former American Idol contestant Kimberly Caldwell.

As for reaching the fan base, Goldsmith and Brown said a grassroots effort has been underway for months.

The two have reached out to numerous tennis clubs, local businesses and talking with people about the event.

“We’re starting from scratch,” Brown said.

“We’ve spent a lot of money on advertising and hit every club in town once a week,” Goldsmith added.

“TV ads, radio ads, we’ve done the gamut.”

Encinitas’ A.J. Preller, the Padres’ general manager, took care of business last week. Preller, to no one’s surprise, picked a managerial candidate few had on their lists.

Andy Green is the new Padres skipper and we had to Google him, too.

He comes from Arizona, just like everyone does during our endless summers.

But he’s staying put after securing his first gig as a big league skipper.

Green, who played parts of four seasons in the majors, had a presence at his news conference and said the right things.

Whether that translates into the Padres playing meaningful September games will be determined.

“Our tomorrow is brighter than our today,’’ Green, 38, said. “We’ve got good things coming our way if we commit ourselves to the process and

At Cal State San Marcos we lead with innovation and nurture a culture of bold ideas, novel approaches and ambitious aspirations. We aren’t satisfied with the status quo. We think big. We ask, ‘how can this be done?’ and then we roll up our sleeves and get to work.

stay committed to that process.”

Padres fans hope so after their sixth straight losing season.

That led to Bud Black’s firing, which preceded interim manager Pat Murphy being given the heave-ho an hour after the dreadful year ended.

Preller is banking on beginner’s luck as Green is his first full-time manager he’s selected. Green, who coached third base for the Diamondbacks last season, was chosen over veteran Rod Gardenhire.

“He checked all the boxes,’’ Preller said of Green.

“He’s a guy we feel can connect with our organization and players and take us to a different level.’’

While Preller got his man, so did the Washington Nationals. They decided Black was their guy and does anyone here not have a last name associated with a color?

Actually the Nationals were left with a red face.

Washington tried to lowball Black in the negotiations.

First it attempted to give him just one year — good luck with that in a clubhouse full of multi-millionaires. Then it presented him with a compensation package, which was about half the going rate.

Black, a Rancho Santa Fe resident, politely declined. So instead the Nationals turned to Dusty Baker, someone we thought should have been considered in San Diego.

So Black remains a free agent and we haven’t gotten, yet, to his former bench coach, Dave Roberts.

Cardiff’s Roberts has been on jobs.com, too. He interviewed for the Mariners’ opening that went to Scott Servais.

He didn’t interview for the Padres’ position, which was a disservice to him.

But word is the Dodgers kicked his tires and that would make a nice homecoming for someone who stole 118 bases for Los Angeles.

Then again, is Black on the Dodgers’ radar now that he’s on the market again?

Could Black and Roberts reunite in L.A., with Black as the manager and Roberts, again, as his bench coach?

Or maybe Roberts, the former Rancho Buena Vista High star, gets the top step and Black is his bench coach?

We don’t see Black playing second fiddle in anyone’s band. Then again, we saw him landing in the nation’s capital.

Then how about this beauty: Angels manager Mike Scioscia returns to the Dodgers, which opens up the Anaheim gig for Black?

The baseball world is still getting settled. And three North County men are a big part of its comings and goings.

Getting low with the sounds of bass

By Tony Cagala

CARLSBAD — Dr. Chris Warren crossed a portion of the San Diego State University campus on his way to his next class. Warren, a professor of music composition, was talking on his cell phone when he stopped mid-sentence — apparently someone had told him he was talking a little too loudly — a twist of irony for the man who just finished creating a new exhibit about bass instruments and their low registers for Carlsbad’s Museum of Making Music.

The exhibit, “LOW: The Power & Beauty of Bass,” opened on Nov. 8 and explores the world of bass and the sounds that fall under 262 Hertz.

It makes your body vibrate, Warren explained of the sounds that come from the bass. That was part of what attracted Warren to

the instrument. As a young child, he remembers being amazed that there was a part of music that you could feel. And from there, he said, he had to figure out how to make that sound.

Some 30 years later, Warren has figured that out.

He’s an accomplished bass player and sound artist with a Ph.D. in computer music from UC San Diego and holds a master’s degree in music, science, and technology from Stanford University.

The beauty and power of the bass comes from that tactile aspect of it, he said.

“The fact that you can really feel it as opposed to just hear it. It’s a booty-shaking instrument.

“It’s what makes you get up and dance — more than any other instrument,” he said. “I realized very early on, that this is the

City and Colour bring bigger, edgier sound

By Alan Sculley

About six months into touring his 2013 album, “The Hurry and the Harm,” Dallas Green had a moment that got him excited about what might happen the next time he went into the studio to make an album.

Green, who records under the band name City and Colour, had written a couple of new songs since hitting the road and decided to spring one of those tunes on his touring band.

“I remember one day specifically, in sound check, I started playing a new song I’d been writing,” Green said in a phone interview.

“And the guys, they just fell into place right behind me, like it had been a song we had been playing in the set.

They knew where I was going to go because they had spent so much time studying my old music.

“So really back before I had even written one note for the (new) record, I knew I wanted to make the (next) record with them,” he said.

Green knew then and there that he’d be eager and excited to see his touring band — bassist Jack Lawrence (Raconteurs, Dead Weather), guitarist Dante Schwebel (Hacienda), drummer Doug MacGregor (Constantines) and pedal steel/keyboard player Matt Kelly — also become his studio band.

What he didn’t expect was to take a detour before bringing his touring band back together to make the newly released City and Colour album, “If I Should Go Before You.” Early in 2014, he talked with one of his best friends in music, Alecia Moore, and they discovered they both had a week or so of down time.

The pair decided to get together and see what would happen if they tried to write some songs together.

Help bring holiday joy to our military heroes this season Help be a hero to theheroes 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 backhaving sustained combat injuries.

That’s why the nonprofit Spirit Of Sharing (SOS) 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 SOS, which is locally based in Oceanside, is to serve the military families that are local to this area, with strong focus on ensuring the children of these families have a wonderful holiday season.

Anyone who makes a donation will directly support families, right in their own neighborhoods.

Oceanside-based nonprofit Spirit Of Sharing has helped to provide active duty military families in need during the holiday season and throughout the year, during tragedy, crisis or other unforeseen event.

SOS is 100 percent volunteer staffed with 100 percent of all donations raised going directly to local, Southern California military families.

Donations are 100 percent tax deductible.

Striving to build personal and lasting relationships with each family, SOS is able to gain better insight and understanding of individual and familial needs and interests.

Each family is gener-

ally provided with several weeks’ worth of groceries and all of the goodies that make the holiday season so warm, comforting, and special.

SOS also provides each child in these families with

age-appropriate and personal gifts, including clothing, educational materials and toys.

Each gift is individually wrapped and labeled by our wonderful volunteers “From Santa” and personally delivered at Christmas.

Based in Oceanside, Calif. the small nonprofit helps active duty military families throughout Southern California, from the Naval Base in San Diego as far North as Edwards Air Force Base.

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 800 military children and over 350 military families have received help from SOS. The Campbell family, who founded SOS is very sensitive to the stresses that military children experience and created SOS to help military children to be afforded the opportunity to have wonderful holiday

memories in light of the heavy loads they often bear, as being part of a military family.

In fact, many of those working with SOS are military veterans and/or spouses.

With the toll of multiple deployments over the last 10 years affecting families, SOS is seeing an increase in the amount of military families in need each year, families are trying to cope with the aftermath of war and multiple deployments.

And they still need help to continue to do so.

With year-round fundraising efforts, SOS 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 SOS directly at (760) 726-8100 or email questions to spiritofsharing@gmail.com.

More information is available on their website at spiritofsharing.org.

SOS is at 1361 Rocky Point Dr. in Oceanside.

Budding business prevents radiation for smartphones

By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD — Cellphone radiation is a rising concern among users and a debate about the long-lasting effects on a person’s health.

One Carlsbad resident and his business partner, though, are not taking chances and as a result, have created a budding business preventing radiation for smartphone and laptop consumers.

Cary Subel of Carlsbad and Alaey Kumar of Orange County, both 26, came up with a design during their tenure at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Soon thereafter, the duo launched SafeSleeve, which produces cellphone and laptop covers preventing radiation exposure to people.

“We decided to go for it,” Subel said. “We tried at least 50 materials claiming to block radiation before we found something. It was an interesting process for sure.”

Subel was inspired to create a safe alternative during high school through a friend’s father, who was an urologist. Subel would place his laptop on his lap, but the doctor kept warning him about studies finding radiation from such devices and placement could lead to fertility problems and others, such as cancer.

He met Kumar in college and from there the idea blossomed into a business.

But first, the two secured research and funding.

Their first product was a laptop case, which uses military-grade materials to prevent radiation waves from emitting to the body.

The Federal Communica-

hone cases, but has since expanded to Samsung and Android brands.

“There is a major audience out there,” Subel said. “We have seen really good organic growth. We have seen 10 to 15 percent growth every month since launching. We have grown at a perfect pace.”

As the two began developing their products, the idea to add additional features kept cropping up.

The laptop case has a flap to secure the device, but it also acts as a mousepad.

Their cellphone cases, meanwhile, are wallet-style and also include a kickstand.

In addition, the case has a slit at the top to listen to a caller and an open space at the bottom for the SafeSleeve co-founders Cary Subel of Carlsbad, left, and Alaey Kumar have developed a FCC-approved microphone when speakradiation prevention design for cellphone and laptop cases.

their products have reached more than 40 countries and are looking to break into the Middle East. Their distribution includes major retailers in the U.S. such as Amazon, Best Buy, along with SafeSleeve’s website and distributors in Europe, Australia and working on the Middle East.

The two tech savvy partners, though, have been aggressive with their digital marketing and word of mouth to spread the word.

“Part of it is awareness,” Kumar said. “Our product stands out because it is multi-functional. Our price point, a majority of the time, is a lot less than our competitors.”

Perhaps the biggest obstacle facing Subel and Kumar, though, is the ongoing debate of the effects of cellphone, laptop and tablet radiation.

There is no debate, however, those products do emit certain radiations.

Subel and Kumar, though, both compared the possible dangers to cigarettes, which for decades was believed to cause no harmful effects until a massive scandal in the 1990s blew open the case.

As for Subel and Kumar, they are firm believers that radiation does cause damage. However, because of the relatively new technology, the long-term studies do not exist.

“Cellphones have not been around that long,” Kumar said. “As we start using them more and more, we believe there will be a correlation to cellphones and harmful affects to our health.”

me to really just give myself to the idea of making this record with these guys.”

The edgier feel of the new album shouldn’t come as a surprise, considering “The Hurry and the Harm” had some rocking songs and City and Colour has gradually taken on a fuller sound overall.

But Green knows some people still associate City and Colour with the stripped back, largely acoustic sound of the first two albums.

Those albums — “Sometimes” (2005) and “Bring Me Your Love” (2008) — were made while Green was fronting the hardcore band Alexisonfire, and he considered City and Colour strictly a side project to showcase the softer side of his songwriting.

But Green never expected City and Colour to remain an acoustic singer-songwriter type of project, and he began to build a bigger sound with the 2010 album “Little Hell,” the first album he made after deciding to leave Alexisonfire, and concentrate on City and Colour.

With that in mind, Green feels “If I Should Go Before You” may be the

best representation yet of Green’s vision for City and Colour.

There are still songs with the familiar gentle beauty, including the title track and “Blood.”

But a shift to a more muscular — but still highly melodic — sound is immediately apparent with the slow burning nine-minute opening track, “Woman,” which builds to an intense crescendo.

Things get even edgier on the crisp “Wasted Love,” of which has a bit of an early Black Keys feel, “Runaway” (which gets a country accent with its tasty use of pedal steel) and “Mizzy C,” an engaging track with some stinging guitar lines.

Now Green is looking forward to performing the new songs with the same band that recorded the album and seeing how the songs evolve on tour.

“Certain songs just take on a completely different shape live, especially if you’re not, I’m really not one to just regiment a (live) version of a song exactly like it was recorded,” Green said. “I love the idea of live settings being their own (thing), being a new version of that (song).”

Green years earlier after her husband, Carey Hart and Green had both played the Warped tour.

They tried to treat the visit as just a casual musical get together, but deep down they knew something more substantial might be afoot.

And sure enough, they wrote a song the first night at the studio, and after a week had eight songs for what would become the 2014 album, “Rose Ave.” Released under the band name You + Me, “Rose Ave.” showcased the pair’s melodic gifts and their lovely vocal blend in a set of stripped-back, folk-ish songs.

Once Green was finished with the You + Me project, he was ready to turn his attention back to a fifth City and Colour album, and he feels “Rose Ave.” might have helped take his music in a bit bigger and edgier direction on “If I Should Go Before You.” “That gave me an outlet to make a quieter record, but refreshing enough in a different format with Alecia,” he said. “It also very much opened the door for

naments that have come and then left the area.

Goldsmith stressed his tournament is staying put as the venue and partnership with the Park Hyatt will allow the event to become one of the most successful on tour.

“We are building a better relationship with the fan base because they’ve been bitten twice,” Goldsmith said. “We are here to stay.

A lot of talking individual to individual.”

Another challenge has been to find a title sponsor. Goldsmith said he is currently working on prospective sponsors for next year, which would allow the tournament to increase its purse and additional revenue to get the top players in

websites such as Netflix, Hulu and Amazon services online.

The key, Baldridge said, is providing a high quality product for those who are changing the market and viewing habits.

“Cord cutters is the perfect market for us,” he added.

“We have an ambition to be the first truly global broadband provider … and to provide broadband anywhere on Earth.”

Yet for all the growth and ambitious projects, ViaSat employees also connect with the community and numerous organizations throughout the city and North County.

“We try to avoid policies, but one of the policies we have is that our philanthropy is on the heels of our employees,” Baldridge said.

“So the things they support, we support. Those things tend to be embedded in the community.”

the world.

Currently, the 32-player singles draw features numerous players ranked in the top 120.

Goldsmith said the tournament begins the WTA’s points season, although it is the last event in the calendar year. Also, those players sitting outside the top 100 are fighting for an automatic qualification for the 2016 Australian Open, which means a good result in Carlsbad could push one or several players into the first major.

“Sponsorships are tough,” Goldsmith said.

“It’s tough to run it without a title sponsor. You just don’t have the capital that you need to impress people.

You got to get the fans here, then woo them with what we have here at the grounds.

We have a better venue

than La Costa, we’ve spent a ton of money on a new court, fixed the grounds up.

We plan on spending more money next year to attract the top players.”

As for the timing, an honest Goldsmith said Thanksgiving week gives the tournament a selection of ball kids since they are off from school. However, another aspect is Carlsbad and San Diego County is a holiday destination for families, which he and Brown are targeting to get into the stands.

But really, are you going to turn down an improvement or a fun twist on that food because it’s not authentic?

I remember a certain local Mexican restaurant owner scoffing at Mexican joints with their California burritos and the like because they were invented to appeal to the Southern Californians who consume them in mass quantities.

I think I joined him on that high horse for about a week

then wandered into Juanita’s after a night out and nothing sounded more magical to me than a California burrito with extra cheese.

Could Juanita’s survive by selling just their authentic carnitas, possibly, but they thrive instead because they are smart and creative restaurateurs. I’m sure there is a contingent of foodies who would probably scoff or even take offense to the thought of an Indian burrito and well, you should

“Our global influences, use of quality ingredients, and product versatility set us apart,” Medearis said.

“We’re working with many local farms and San Diego has some of the most beautiful produce in the country.”

Medearis and Tony Escalante, best friends who grew up in San Diego, have worked in and around food for the better part of their lives and are the driving inspiration behind Wolfpeach.

“My business partner and I are very health aware,” Medearis said. “We believe in eating with intention and mindful snacking.

Food is medicine, this is just the beginning for us.”

Tomatoes constitute a major ingredient in the majority of salsas but many people are unaware of tomatoes strangely unappealing history.

Tomatoes belong to the nightshade family and in earlier times tomatoes were speciously believed to be poisonous by Europeans

who were distrustful of the bright, shiny fruit.

“Members of the nightshade family were used by witches to produce werewolves,” Medearis said. “So the tomato got transformed into the wolf peach. Like with all good things you might have to take a chance. Our product is very unusual and different, so I think we resonate

with the wolf peach in this way.”

Right now you can find Wolpeach salsas at the Lost Abbey on Sunday’s, Little Italy Mercado every Saturday, and Leucadia Farmers Market on Sunday’s.

“We love it! We’re really excited to start working with local markets,” Medearis said, “So look out for us!”

this crazy goodness though and it consists of a roti burrito, which is basically a tortilla, spinach bean spread, rice, romaine lettuce, cabbage, chutney and lemon spiced onions.

The chutney is a key ingredient here as it gives it that same sweetness that makes lingonberrys so good on Swedish meatballs. You then have your choice of 8 fillings that include mixed veggies, potato and spinach, grilled tofu, paneer (marinated Indian cheese), chicken, lamb, fish, or shrimp.

I’ve had it with the chicken…dark meat of

course, and the lamb and loved every bite of each.

The potatoes and spinach and paneer are next up though I will say this is probably a dish that goes well later in the day.

I try to keep my lunches light and there is no way I could control myself from eating a whole one of these.

They serve it with a hot sauce of some sort but I found it had plenty of flavor and moisture within to skip that. This was just a lunch item until recently when it was made available all day due to popular demand.

Chef-owner Kamlesh Israni opened her first

restaurant in 1990 and grew to four locations quickly.

She sold three of them over the past few years to focus on the Encinitas location… lucky for us! Besides my obsession with her burrito, I’ve sampled just about all of her menu and it’s full of traditional Indian dishes that really satisfy. From a full list of vegetarian dishes to signature curries to tandoori chicken, kebabs, seafood and South Indian favorites like dosa.

All the combination plates include dal (lentils), naan (leavened bread), rice pulao (basmati), and raita (yogurt with grated cucum-

bers).

Don’t forget the condiments that include pappad (lentil wafers), mango, mint, tamarind or coconut chutney and cottage fries.

I’ve never tried the desserts but looking at them again I will soon along with the lassi (yogurt smoothie) and masala chai.

What retirement might bring My husband is retiring next week. This statement has prompted many responses, most commonly, “Oh, no. What are you going to do?”

I am late to the game, being married to a workaholic entrepreneur, but finally, the day has arrived. I fear I have had far, far too much time to get used to a tidy house and complete control of the TV remote.

I also see piles of dishes in my future and plan to melt or break something new every week, after I have blindly shoved them all in the dishwasher.

By default, dirty dishes mean I must have cooked and served something. That is my biggest dread. Everything, short of a TV dinner on a paper plate, requires washing up. While he has many talents, dishwashing is not among them.

I have never been enamored of the kitchen and besides; my husband is a weird eater. His tastes aren’t so weird, although he does fancy pickled fish. It’s that he eats huge quantities. Well, they seem huge to me. I can cook once and live off leftovers for a week.

When we dine together, there are no leftovers and he requires third helpings.

And, no, he is not even overweight.

I am asking every woman I know how to simplify the whole meal thing. Most offer one word. Costco. Others mention casseroles, lots of pasta and sandwiches.

I’m waiting for someone to tell me how to afford a cook.

Meanwhile, I am comforted by the fact that he was a Green Beret. If he gets really hungry, he knows how to forage. I could let him live on cheese and crackers and he’d be content. But if I did, my mother would surely haunt me.

I expect I will have to alter my well-worn rut and get dishpan hands, but thank goodness, I won’t need to find things to keep my now-home husband busy. He is a frustrated farmer who’s happiest in the garden and can spend hours watching educational documentaries. Remember, opposites attract.

LCC graduate, partners, launch smartphone app

By Aaron Burgin

REGION — While Internet search engines such as Google and Bing connect people with information, what if there was an application that connected you to the people who are the source of the information or services?

A La Costa Canyon graduate and her Ivy League friends have you covered.

Just months removed from graduating from Yale University, Madeline Rudnick, 22, and her friends just launched the smartphone app “Getmii,” which connects people looking for everything from a dentist to a friend with the people who can provide the service.

“It’s like Google for people,” said Brudnick, who graduated from La Costa Canyon in 2011. “Whether you are looking for something abstract, such as friendship or advice, or something more concrete, such as a delivery service…information isn’t going to help you build furniture, order a pizza or find companionship during hardship, people will. That is what we are doing.”

The app, whose name is a play off of Dr. Ruth’s famous proclamation “Get some,” employs a geo-location algorithm that broadcasts a person’s need to people in that area. Service providers are then able to respond to the need.

Rudnick and five of her friends flew to Bangkok shortly after graduation to launch the app, which has been downloaded more than 10,000 times in the two weeks since it officially dropped.

While some of the applications for the service are practical and mundane, Rudnick said that Getmii has already been used for some potentially life-saving circumstances, such as disaster re-

Bucket on Moonlight palm part of statewide weevil hunt

By Aaron Burgin

ENCINITAS — Near the overlook at Moonlight Beach, a white bucket sits suspended six feet off the ground on a palm tree.

While it seems out of place, state department of agriculture officials said that the makeshift-looking trap is an important piece in the statewide prevention and defense network set up against an insect that could devastate the state’s palm trees.

The state department of agriculture has set up 850 of these traps for the Red Palm weevil, a beetle that is native to Southeast Asia but has spread throughout Asia, Africa, Europe and Oceania and is widely considered the world’s most destructive insect palm pest. The 1 to 2 inch bug burrows through the crown of palm trees and, along with its larvae, weakens the palm’s trunk.

Five years ago, the first weevil ever discovered in the United States was found in Laguna Beach inside of a large dying Canary Island date palm. This triggered a statewide effort by state agriculture officials in connection with the UC Riverside Center for Invasive Species Research to contain the weevil and survey surrounding palms in hopes of thwarting the

spread.

In a state synonymous with its (mostly) stately palm trees that has a $70 million ornamental palm and $30 million date industry, state officials said protecting the trees was a horticultural priority.

Part of the effort included traps like the one at Moonlight Beach, which are filled with a mixture of water, diluted antifreeze and a pheromone that attracts the male weevil.

“They crawl up the side of the trap, fall into

the liquid and are killed just by the drowning,” an official with the San Diego office of the state agricultural inspector said. “The antifreeze keeps the specimen fresh so that we can observe and ID it in the lab.”

The traps cost $20 to $25 per unit.

State officials said the traps are fashioned in a way that children or other animals will not come in contact with the antiTURN TO WEEVIL ON B8

By Chuck Shepherd He Missed ‘Judgment’ Class in Basic Training Fort Bragg, North Carolina, declared an emergency on Oct. 30 when one of its soldiers had the bright idea to arrive for a Halloween party on base dressed as a suicide bomber, with realistic-looking canisters in a wired vest. Gates to the post (headquarters of Army special forces and airborne troops) immediately went into extended lockdown, and a bomb-disposal team was called. The soldier’s name was not released.

Police Report “Police Squad!”

Lives On: (1) Hugo Castro, 28, wanted for questioning in October in San Jose, California, after his girlfriend was stabbed to death, helpfully presented himself at county jail. The sheriff’s deputy listened — and then suggested Castro go find a San Jose police officer.

(Castro did, and the deputy was subsequently reassigned.) (2) New Hampshire state police laid down spiked “stop sticks” in November to slow down a fleeing Joshua Buzza, 37, near Greenland, New Hampshire. Buzza was apprehended, but not before he managed to avoid the sticks while goading the drivers of three squad cars over them (flattening several tires).

Great Art! Recent Architectural Triumphs: (1) A 33-year-old Frenchman erected a stone table with benches over his mother’s grave marker, so that he and friends could enjoy munchies and wine as he “talked” to her. (2) For the annual German Ruhrtriennale Festival in September, Atelier Van Lieshout created a temporary hotel structure that appeared from the street (even to the nonaroused) to be a couple having “doggy style” sex (to make a statement, a reviewer said, about “the power of humanity over the natural world”). (3) A homeowners’ association in Winter Haven, Florida, petitioned Steven Chayt to remove the 24-by-12foot chair he had built in his backyard as an art project — especially because of the hole in the seat — making it, said one neighbor, “essentially a toilet.”

Social Security is not straight forward for most people. In fact, there are strategies you can employ to maximize the benefits you are eligible to receive – particularly among married, divorced and widowed individuals.

Please join us for a special Social Security Workshop, where you will be provided with critical information to help you maximize your Social Security benefits. Important Social Security facts to be covered in the workshop include; What is the current status of Social Security?

When is the optimal time for you to start collecting Social Security? How can you maximize benefits for yourself and your spouse? What are delayed retirement credits? How can you coordinate Social Security benefits with other retirement assets to maximize your retirement income?

Join us for a FREE dinner reception, Thursday, November 19, at 6:30pm,

The city of Carlsbad becomes a hub for life science industry

By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD — This city has become a hub for the life science industry.

Two weeks ago, Bio, Tech and Beyond held a forum highlighting nine startup businesses at work in the BTB’s life science incubator model.

Hosted by Thermo Fisher, Carlsbad’s largest biotech firm, nine businesses each gave a three-minute presentation about their companies to potential investors, attorneys and others in attendance.

In total, BTB hosts 19 businesses with one to two employees aiming to get their projects off the ground.

“It was very well received and we had a nice turnout,” BTB co-founder Joseph Jackson said. “This is just a snapshot of where we are and trying to bring in more partners and strategic collaboration. We need to create a mechanism to bring the investors and capital into the space to interact with the companies.”

BTB, meanwhile, is at the forefront of the biotech incubator model. Similar to

tech companies in Silicon Valley, BTB sought out a city as a partner to enable individuals to get their ideas off the ground.

Jackson and fellow co-founder Kevin Lustig, who met several years ago at a conference in San Francisco, made an unsolicited pitch to the city of Carlsbad in 2012 and the city jumped at the chance to build on one of its top industries and rival San Diego as one of the top science hubs.

Although success has been growing, Jackson said developing better and easier ways for investment and securing capital is another priority.

“We’ve created ways to get people credit and finance them to buy houses, but we don’t have the similar kind of infrastructure for starting these businesses,” he added. “They (the start-ups) may not know the first thing about it.”

Lustig, who holds a Ph.D. from UC San Francisco, has spent 30 years as a research scientist or running research laboratories. He spearheaded the website scientist.com where

the philosophy was to “outsource everything but the genius.”

“I built this marketplace that enables people to outsource everything, but there was no place where people could go and be genius,” Lustig added. “So Joseph and I came up with the idea for the incubator.

The idea was, we’ve had one Einstein in the past 100 years … there’s probably five of them out there right now that, for whatever reason, have never had the opportunity to express their brilliance. We are lowering the barrier for innovation.”

Christina Vincent, the city’s economic develop-

ment manager, said Carlsbad and BTB agreed to a five-year, $1 per year lease at 2351 Farady Ave., which was abandoned for years.

BTB, meanwhile, provides a cheap workspace for startups at $800 per month, Jackson said.

Although $800 per month isn’t exactly cheap, it is compared to other cities where life science incubators operate, such as in San Francisco, where yearly rent can run more than $30,000 per year.

The city, along with Jackson and Lustig, refurbished the building to meet specifications of a working lab.

“We took their proposal to council and by July 2013 we were doing the grand opening,” Vincent said. “ The city, Vincent said, is betting on the long term.

She said the goal is to foster those relationships with start-ups, and once they grow out of the incubator and move into larger space, those businesses remain in Carlsbad, thus collecting tax revenue.

“We are actually in-

vesting in the future of businesses we hope stay here,” Vincent added.

“They (BTB) are at max capacity, so they are at a point where they are looking long term. We are kind of starting those conversations … and we are at a point where we are looking five years ahead.”

Should a business not be able to find space in Carlsbad, she said the city’s connection with Innovate 78 would assist in finding a location in Vista, Oceanside, Escondido or San Marcos.

Another aspect of BTB, however, is also assisting the start-ups with navigating the business world.

With an array of potential pitfalls, BTB lends guidance of how to secure patents, legal work in addition to securing sensitive or dangerous materials, equipment and other materials regulated by government agencies.

“It’s been a great partnership,” Lustig said of the city. “Carlsbad was interested in creating jobs. It also cements them as the leading place for biotech.”

This is one of those ‘You had to be there’ visits hit the road e’louise ondash

T

his is one case, I’m sorry to say, in which you had to be there.

But let’s see if I can do it justice with some numbers: 10,000 pumpkins that weigh a total of 200,000 pounds; 1,000 volunteers; 120,000 visitors; and 20,000 beneficiaries.

These are the numbers that define the annual Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze, probably the largest pumpkin extravaganza on the planet.

The Blaze, as it is commonly called, has been wowing visitors for 11 autumns.

It is staged on the grounds of the pre-Revolutionary Van Cortlandt Manor in the Hudson Valley town of Croton-on-Hudson.

“The Blaze is our main fundraiser,” explains Rob Schweitzer, director of marketing and public relations of Historic Hudson Valley, the nonprofit organization that owns and/or operates several historic sites in the area. “All the proceeds go to support our educational mission. We serve more than 20,000 children a year with school programs, and the kids also come to the sites.”

Yes, Halloween has passed, but if you are looking for a place to celebrate autumn 2016 in a big way, consider a visit to New York’s Hudson Valley.

It would be difficult to find an area that goes all out so intensely for the season and Halloween. There are multiple events hosted

by Historic Hudson Valley which are centered on stories and legends that are woven into the area’s history.

Pumpkin skeletons perform with backup ghosts at The Blaze in New York’s Hudson Valley. More than 120,000 visitors are expected to attend the seven-week event, orchestrated by Historic Hudson Valley, an organization dedicated to teaching students about the area’s history This tunnel of jack o’ lanterns, known as the Pumpkin Planetarium, is an annual favorite of the 120,000 vis- area and preserving historic properties. itors who come to see The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze in New York’s Hudson Valley.

Judging by the crowds on a recent brisk October night, the event is more popular than ever.

Infants, teenagers, parents, grandparents and people of every age and background file past biggerthan-life prehistoric monsters, circus trains, beehives and jack-in-the-boxes, all constructed of pumpkins of all shapes and sizes.

There are more than 7,000 in all. (The remaining 3,000 pumpkins are used to replace those that fall victim to bad weather and wildlife, so carvers are kept busy throughout the event’s seven-week run.)

Some pumpkins are lighted with LED bulbs; others with candles. It takes volunteers three hours each night to illuminate the latter.

It’s difficult to take it all in; we don’t want to miss a detail.

A few of the pumpkins are of the mortal variety — that is, you and I could duplicate them – but the majority are truly works of art.

The intricate designs carved

Intricately carved pumpkins at the 11th annual Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze are created under the direction of artist and sculptor Michael Natiello. Carvers create 10,000 pumpkins during the seven-week extravaganza.

In fact, they are the work of 20 master carvers who work under artist and sculptor Michael Natiello, the 41-year-old creative director of The Blaze.

He told the New York Times that he likes to hang

Three witches, constructed of hand-carved pumpkins, attend their caldron during the annual Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze at Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y. The Blaze is the premier autumn/Halloween event in the Hudson Valley and the Sleepy Hollow area, which takes advantage of its history to draw thousands of visitors during this time of year.

out during the event and listen to visitors’ comments.

“Like if somebody says they see a sheep skeleton instead of a dinosaur, I’m not going to correct them,” he said.

Natiello has been in charge of The Blaze since its inception in 2005, when it featured only 2,500 pumpkins.

Pumpkins of every mood line the stairway and porch at the historic Van Cortlandt Manor in Croton-on-Hudson, N.Y., where visitors can learn what life was like in the years just after the Revolutionary War.

“Halloween has really exploded,” Schweitzer says.

“When I was a kid, it was about one night of bothering the neighbors for candy. Now it’s a full season and adults

are involved.”

The Blaze, as well as other Halloween events centered in and around the Sleepy Hollow area, “draws visitors from all 50 states,” Schweitzer says. “Sometimes people are surprised to learn they have to get tickets in advance. In some form or other, we are working on it year-round.”

ovember is National Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Month, a time to take a closer look at what’s being done to address one of the deadliest forms of cancer.

According to the American Cancer Society, more than 48,000 people in the United States will be diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2015, making it the 10th most common cancer.

However, more than 40,000 people in the U.S. are expected to die of the disease this year, making it the fourth most deadly type of cancer.

Carmel Valley resident Darren Sigal, M.D., is a gastrointestinal oncologist at Scripps Clinic and a co-founder of Scripps’ Pancreas and Bile Duct Cancer Program. Dr. Sigal works with a multidisciplinary team of specialized physicians to help patients overcome their disease and also collaborates with fellow researchers locally and nationally to conduct clinical trials for new therapies.

Dr. Sigal offers his insights into the field of pancreatic cancer treatment and research.

Pancreatic cancer is notoriously difficult to treat — why is this?

First, it spreads early and the symptoms are quite vague: abdominal pain, sometimes jaundice, loose stools, bloating. As a result, even when we’ve removed the tumor and the patient has received chemotherapy, the cancer often comes back.

Also, pancreatic cancer has a unique defense mechanism.

It develops a scar, like a protective shell, which makes it difficult to get chemo to the tumor.

perspective helps us give our patients a clear picture of their treatment options and also helps us identify opportunities to change course in treatment as needed. The group, which communicates daily on various patient care issues, includes myself and doctors Walt Coyle, Randy Schaffer, Jon Fisher, Warren Reidel and Ray Lin, along with nurse navigator Jane Williams.

We are also part of the Pancreatic Cancer Research Team, which is a nationwide consortium of medical facilities conducting clinical trials. This is great for patients because they have access to the latest therapies. Scripps Clinic has a level of expertise you would normally find at a large university medical center.

Looking ahead, where do you see promising developments?

As recently as a few years ago, there were only a couple of approved drugs for pancreatic cancer, but there have been some real advances lately. In 2013, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved a drug called Abraxane for metastatic, or late-stage pancreatic cancer.

The one-year survival rate of patients with metastatic pancreatic cancer has improved from 10 percent to about 30 percent, thanks to this drug.

The combination therapy known as FOLFIRINOX is another option.

In the past few years, a number of other new treatments have shown promise and continue to move forward. Scripps is currently taking part in a clinical trial for a new therapeutic called PEG-PH20. This is an enzyme therapy designed by a local company called Halozyme Therapeutics to break down the cancer’s protective scar. The idea is that, without the shell, chemotherapy could be more effective.

Early results have been encouraging, but we still have a ways to go.

There’s also an anti-inflammatory drug called Ruxolitinib, made by Incyte Pharmaceuticals. It’s thought that inflammation plays a big role in pancreatic cancer’s ability to resist chemo. This drug has already been approved for myelofibrosis and is approaching phase III trials for pancreatic cancer.

What’s happening now to help overcome these challenges?

Scripps’ Pancreas and Bile Duct Cancer Program is a listed resource by the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network. We treat a lot of patients, participate in clinical trials and have special expertise when it comes to this disease.

Our team is composed of physicians from several medical sub-specialties, in“Health Watch” is brought cluding medical oncology, to you by the physicians and radiation oncology, pancrestaff of Scripps Health.

The team was tasked with identifying a problem with how to manage garbage, and design an innovative solution to deal with the problem. They decided to design a solar telephone charger, made completely out of discarded garden solar garden stakes and discarded phone cords.

“We asked our friends and neighbors in Rancho Santa Fe, many landscapers, and even friends on Facebook to send us their broken garden solar lights,” one student member said. “We were surprised that so many people gave us their broken solar items, and we were even more excited about how our

concept worked.”

The team took the scrap and built solar-based phone chargers and decided to do distribute them to the homeless. They learned about voltage meters, amperage readers, and how to solder too. They also met with many community mentors, including the Waste Management robotic sorting facility, different electronics recycling facilities, a local patent attorney, and engineers from Qualcomm.

They are asking anybody who would like to contribute broken garden solar stakes or lights, old phones, or phone chargers, to contact goluther1 @hotmail.com
