Developer gets OK to tell ‘story’ a different way at Solana Highlands BY KRISTINA HOUCK The proposed redevelopment of Solana Highlands moved one step forward May 6 when the Solana Beach City Council unanimously approved a story pole plan for the project. Rather than continue to seek a waiver for installing about 30 percent of the story poles required for the complete remodel of the apartment complex, the developers presented a new proposal using a combination of traditional, alternative and supplemental story pole methods. “This is a plan that will not have any temporary install poles, but a plan that has all the poles indicating the building envelopes and heights,” said project manager John La Raia. H.G. Fenton Company, which bought the 13.4-acre site at South Nardo and Stevens avenues in 1998, has plans to demolish and rebuild Solana Highlands, a 194-unit complex constructed in 1972. Plans include replacing the complex with 260 oneand two-bedroom apartments in 24 two- and three-story buildings. Thirty-two of the apartments would be affordable units. Plans also include 525 onsite parking spaces, a recreational facility and a pool. Construction would take place in three phases over 36 to 40 months. Because the project is taller than 16 feet, it is subject to the city’s view process, which includes installing story poles to show the proposed project height and general outline of the buildings. Traditional story poles consist of poles connected by wires with flags. Support structures also usually keep the poles in place. Initially, the developer requested a partial waiver be-

BY KAREN BILLING At San Diego City Council’s May 11 meeting, the city clerk presented the certified One Paseo referendum petition, sending it to a second hearing at 1 p.m. Monday, May 18. At that hearing, held at the larger venue of Golden Hall, the City Council must rescind its 7-2 approval of the mixed-use project or send it to a citywide vote. City Council President Sherri Lightner, one of the two votes against One Paseo, issued a statement congratulating Protect San Diego’s Neighborhoods efforts in gathering the necessary 33,224 signatures for the referendum. In it, she stated that she hopes that the project does not go to the ballot and instead an alternative solution can be found. “If One Paseo is allowed to stand, it paves the way for massive overdevelopment in San Diego and the destruction of community planning in our city. I hope my council colleagues will consider rescinding their approval of this project and sending the developers back to work with the community to create a project that minimizes traffic and visual impacts,” Lightner’s statement read. “As I have previously stated, the community wants an appropriate project at this

DM Schools Education Foundation makes final fundraising push for next school year BY KAREN BILLING In the last few weeks of fundraising for the Del Mar Union School District’s programs in art, music, science, technology and PE, the Del Mar Schools Education Foundation is hoping to overcome being a “wee bit short,” according to President Ty Humes. As of April 22, the foundation had raised just

over $1 million, which would be three teachers short of the full Extended Studies Curriculum (ESC) students had last year. While they are a little short of their fundraising goal to keep ESC levels consistent, Humes said in the history of the program, they have raised the most money at this point of the year compared with the

Fairgrounds dirt track being put to environmental test • Del Mar Thoroughbred Club points out that new course will save millions of gallons of water BY ED ZIERALSKI SPECIAL TO THE DEL MAR TIMES, CARMEL VALLEY NEWS, SOLANA BEACH SUN Del Mar was banging the drum loudly Wednesday about its reduced environmental footprint, thanks to its use of recycled water and the recycling of all waste off its backstretch. Considering the shortage of potable water in California because of the fourth year of drought and the state’s constant concern for the environment, what Del Mar and the 22nd District Agricultural Association are doing with water savings and a recycling program for backstretch waste is worth crowing about. Del Mar will use even less recycled water this year, thanks to a switch back to a dirt track that will require far less water than the old synthetic Polytrack, which had to be watered constantly to keep the surface temperature down and the materials manageable. Del Mar recently completed installation of a new dirt track with El Segundo sand imported from the Los Angeles Airport area, and it will be maintained with recycled water. “We had our first horses on the new dirt track today, and they went over it well,” said Mac McBride, director of media for the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. “Horses taking part in the Barretts two-year-old-in-training sale will be on it until the sale on May 28.” McBride said Tedesco has been main-

taining the new track for a week. After the Barretts sale, the track will be sealed, and the San Diego County Fair takes over. The track will be re-opened July 6, the day after the fair ends, and horses will be on it after a few days of work. The summer meeting starts Thursday, July 16. In the meantime, DMTC officials are pointing to the millions of gallons of potable water that will be saved, thanks to the track and the 22nd District Agricultural Association’s contract for recycled water with the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority in nearby Cardiff. DMTC and the 22nd DAA drew down approximately 160 acre-feet of water this past year. An acre-foot equals 43,560 cubic feet and is equivalent to 325,851 gallons. That’s the third most water used by any user supplied by San Elijo. Del Mar has been using recycled water for more than two decades, leading to its use of potable water dropping and use of recycled water increasing. Water usage figures released by the 22nd DAA and DMTC show the increase of recycled water use over potable water in the past four years. In 2011, potable water use equaled 54,900 units, with one unit equal to 748 gallons. In 2014, that same usage has been lowered to 47,600 units, a decrease of 13 percent. As for reclaimed water, the 2011 units were 31,500. Since then, that number has more than doubled to 67,700 units in 2014,

Del Mar track superintendent Richard Tedesco shows El Segundo sand that replaced the old synthetic Poiytrack as the main track at the seaside oval. Horses went over the new dirt Tuesday for the first time. Photo/Ed Zieralski a rise of 115 percent. “Last year alone, we saved about 60 million gallons of potable water,” said Leif Dickenson, DMTC’s turf/landscape superintendent. “Think about it this way: picture an acre of land; now fill it up 160 feet high with water. That’s 160 acrefeet. That’s how much we saved, and that’s a lot of water.” Del Mar officials say they save significant money by using reclaimed water for the main track and turf course, for the infield lakes and infield landscaping on the 350-acre fairgrounds. Potable water sells for a bit more than $4 per 100 cubic feet. The same amount of reclaimed water sells for only $3. “We are committed to doing all we can to be good water citizens in our neighborhood and our state,” said DMTC executive vice president and chief operating officer Josh Rubinstein. In addition to hosting two major thoroughbred race

meetings, the Del Mar Fairgrounds stages the San Diego County Fair each year along with a range of events throughout the year. In addition to saving money and being environmentally friendly with its recycled water program, Del Mar also recycles all waste produced on the backstretch to house nearly 2,000 thoroughbreds. All of the straw, shavings and manure are recycled to a mushroom farm in Escondido. Last year, more than 11,700 tons of waste matter were recycled, and that conserved landfill space and eliminated dump fees. Del Mar saved the fairgrounds nearly $900,000 in dump fees and recycled materials sales. In all, 92 percent of the fairgrounds’ solid waste is diverted from landfills, which results in more than $1 million annually in financial advantages. “We are all about recycling on this fairgrounds,” said Gary Reist, the 22nd DAA’s chief of plant operations. “Water, waste, energy, solar — we explore every avenue and implement practical opportunities to save.”

District to keep middle school bus service for 2015-16 District discusses recognizing student BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District announced May 7 that it would continue to operate middle-school busing and athletic transportation for the 2015-16 school year. Over the past few months, the district had gathered feedback on a proposal to eliminate the transportation services due to cost concerns and decreasing ridership. Bus ridership has been declining at district schools for the past few years, peaking in 2010-11 with 1,307 riders. But for 2015-16, it is projected to be at 696 students district-wide. The district heard feedback from parents via an online survey and through comments at school board meetings. While there will be no recommendation to eliminate middle-school bus service, the district will continue to examine operations to improve efficiency whenever possible.

accomplishments at board meetings BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District board discussed the possibility of recognizing student achievements at its monthly board meetings at the request of Trustee Mo Muir. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They should be acknowledged,â&#x20AC;? Muir said, adding that she would love to see students receive a proclamation from the board. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The students are what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all about, they do amazing things and it would be great to hear about them.â&#x20AC;? Muir said recognizing the students would not only show that the board appreciates what they do, but also would help to promote the district. As it turns out, the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s students are so accomplished, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to decide where to even begin to honor their many achievements, according to Jason Viloria, executive director of educational services. Viloria said that honoring students is not considered a key function of the school board. He reported that 75 percent of high school students are recognized for Honor Roll each year, representing 9,000 students district-wide. Students receive thousands of awards including recognition at sports team banquets, school award ceremonies and in numerous outside competitions. â&#x20AC;&#x153;How do we single out one award over the others? Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a real challenge for us,â&#x20AC;? Viloria said. As Superintendent Rick Schmitt noted, they always try to balance recognition of students with the competitive nature of the

San Dieguito district OKs new special-ed supervisor post BY KAREN BILLING As part of the San Dieguito Union School Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ongoing work to reorganize the work of the educational services division, the board approved establishing a program supervisor position for administrative oversight of district-based special education programs at its May 7 meeting. The vote was 4-1, with Mo Muir voting against it. Terrie Norton, associate superintendent of human resources, said during the recession the district cut back a lot in the special education department and was down to just one special education administrator. The new program supervisor position will allow the district to effectively manage the special education program, which has more than 1,300 students. The supervisor will be able to be directly involved in the Individualized Education Program (IEP) process and have authorization over the special education program. The district will look to hire up to four supervisors versus having seven program

specialists. In voting against the position, Muir cited her concerns about the cost, although Superintendent Rick Schmitt said that the cost is built into the budget. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not a cost increase; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s different people working in different categories,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not spending any more money.â&#x20AC;? Unlike in many communities, many families come into San Dieguitoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s IEP process with representation and the process can be extended for months. Schmitt said this change would give the right authority to the right people and possibly help cut down on the high settlements the district has been having lately. â&#x20AC;&#x153;An administrative position in IEP meetings will help hold the line,â&#x20AC;? Norton said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We need someone with expertise and ability to explain why more is not better for many students and whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s appropriate for students.â&#x20AC;?

district â&#x20AC;&#x201D; they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have valedictorians,nor do they rank students because of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;ultra-competitive, unhealthy environmentâ&#x20AC;? that can create. He noted that student accomplishments are often recognized in the districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s social media postings on Facebook as well in local traditional media. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do not think that (recognizing student accomplishments) is our role as school board representatives,â&#x20AC;? said Trustee Joyce Dalessandro. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are representing kids so that they have the best possible education that we can provide them with the funds we have and the staff that we have.â&#x20AC;? She said it was completely not feasible to honor the number of kids among all 10 schools and to ask staff members to choose among the accomplishments. Trustee John Salazar suggested that the student representatives from each school site could single out a few students as part of their presentations at meetings. Schmitt said site principals could do the same when they visit board meetings, and that they would additionally keep board members informed of awards ceremonies, should they like to attend. Renee Haerle, the student representative from La Costa Canyon, assured the board that the current methods of honoring students are adequate. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Students will still feel good about what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve accomplished without being recognized by the board,â&#x20AC;? Renee said.

Historic drought forces steep local water cuts, proposed rate hikes BY JOE TASH Most customers of the Santa Fe Irrigation District will be required to dramatically cut their water use as the district struggles to comply with a state mandate to reduce its overall water consumption by 36 percent. A standing-room-only crowd showed up Thursday evening, May 7, for a special workshop meeting, as the district’s staff and board of directors discussed two key elements of the agency’s plan to respond to the state drought, now in its fourth year. The district is moving toward imposing “allocations,” or a set amount of water for each household, for the first time in its 92year history. Customers who use more than their allotment of water will be penalized. At the same time, the district is also considering drought rates, which are surcharges on district water rates to help the district maintain its operational revenues as water sales decline. Both proposals, as well as new water use restrictions, will come before the Santa Fe board for action at its May 21 meeting. If approved by the board, the allocations could take effect as soon as June 1, while the drought rates could be implemented after the board’s July meeting, said district

spokeswoman Jessica Parks. The district serves some 6,000 households in Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe and Fairbanks Ranch. Under the proposed allocation plan, each household would get a base allowance of 15 units of water each two-month period. A unit is 748 gallons, and the district has calculated that 15 units will meet basic household needs. The district is asking customers to cut their use above the 15-unit base allowance by 45 percent. Currently, said Parks, about 550 households use 15 units or less every two months. Some 5,400 customers use more than the 15-unit allowance. Most of the water used above the baseline allowance is for outdoor landscape watering. The top 11 percent of the district’s water users consume 45 percent of the district’s water, Parks said. “We’re asking our customers to make sacrifices,” said Parks. “We’re asking for them to cut back their irrigation on their landscaping. We would like it if people would stop irrigating their lawns.” The district wants people to continue watering their trees, though, because dead or dying trees could become a fire hazard, See WATER, page 20

Supervisors: Roberts, not county, should pay any severance for ex-staff BY JOSHUA STEWART SPECIAL TO THE DM TIMES, SB SUN, CV NEWS After a string of employees abruptly resigned from county Supervisor Dave Roberts’ office, supervisors are pledging that any payouts to former staffers shouldn’t come from taxpayers, but rather from Roberts’ personal accounts. “The Board of Supervisors stands united in their belief that whatever issues occurred in the District 3 offices, should be dealt with by the Supervisor. If any money is to be paid to any of his former staff members, it should be paid from his personal funds and not taxpayer dollars,” a statement from the board released Monday afternoon said. Roberts said he agrees that taxpayers shouldn’t be responsible for personnel issues stemming from his office. “I am in complete agreement that the San Diego County taxpayers should not be liable for issues arising from personnel issues in the District 3 office,” he wrote in a statement. He didn’t immediately respond to followup questions about whether he was planning to give former staffers severance. The developments come after four members of Roberts’ staff resigned in three weeks, and after at least two of these employees charged that the board’s lone Democrat ran a toxic workplace. His now-former chief of staff, Glynnis Vaughan, sought a $75,000 severance package equivalent to roughly six months of her salary, but supervisors meeting in closed session last month voted 5-0 against her request. Roberts’ former scheduler, Diane Porter, has also hired an attorney and plans to seek a severance. In her resignation letter, Vaughan said that the board’s vote was tantamount to denying the existence of problems in Roberts’ office. The board, however, said in its statement that they voted against her severance only be-

cause it believes that Roberts, not the public, should foot the bill. Furthermore, the board said an internal investigation into Roberts’ office found issues that “need to be addressed.” Citing threats about litigation, the statement didn’t release details about the investigation. Vaughan’s resignation letter accused Roberts of staff intimidation, misuse of public resources, coercion, creation of a hostile work environment, and other improprieties. Supervisors also said Roberts violated the Brown Act when he told people that the board voted in closed session against the severance payment. The Brown Act is a rule that requires most government meetings to be open to the public, but it also creates exceptions that allow officials to meet in closed session to discuss some issues, including lawsuits and personnel matters. The act also regulates what information can and cannot be shared from closed session. Roberts said he erred by releasing the details of the board’s vote to former Supervisor Pam Slater-Price. “My predecessor asked me a specific question about a media report. I responded directly to her question. I now understand that I should not have responded. I am human, I made a mistake and I apologize,” he said in a statement. In its statement, the board said no allegations have been made by staff members who worked for Slater-Price. The board met in closed session last week to approve the statement released Monday about compensating Roberts’ former employees. It was not publicly known whether there was a vote or if Roberts participated. “The Board of Supervisors has approved a limited release of information from closed session to allow this public statement explaining the reason for the vote against the severance payment,” the statement said.

LET THE VOTERS DECIDE Following The One Paseo project’s supermajority approval by the San Diego City Council in February, the owners of the Del Mar Highlands Town Center in Carmel Valley funded a referendum signature drive to overturn the approval at the council or force the issue to the June 2016 ballot. On May 18, the City Council must decide whether to rescind its 7-2, bi-partisan approval or place the issue on the ballot for San Diego voters to decide. We believe the only reasonable outcome, under the circumstances, is to place the issue in front of all San Diego voters to help decide the future of San Diego. More information about the project can be found at OnePaseo.com.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Through groundbreaking research, the Neonatal Research Institute at Sharp Mary Birch Hospital for Women & Newborns is increasing the odds of survival for premature and sick newborns. Research director Anup Katheria has been at the helm of the Neonatal Research Institute since it was established two years ago. Leading a multidisciplinary team, the Carmel Valley resident is behind the institute’s clinical trials of new medicines and therapies that have the potential to provide long-term benefits for babies at risk for brain, heart and lung complications. “I want us to be the leader in where therapies for babies are being developed,” said Katheria, director of the Neonatal Research Institute. The institute’s research has helped Sharp Mary Birch Hospital become the first hospital in the U.S. to offer revolutionary newborn resuscitation technology, such as the specialized “LifeStart” resuscitation beds. With a grant from the National Institutes of Health, the hospital purchased the beds last year, allowing newborns to stay with their mothers so the babies can receive immediate resuscitation without being separated from the umbilical cord. Using the beds, researchers have studied whether delayed cord clamping by about 45 seconds can improve long-term brain function for babies needing resuscitation at birth. Current practice in the United States is to cut the umbilical cord immediately in these cases so the baby can be taken to a designated treatment area. This is the type of work that brought Katheria to Sharp Mary Birch Hospital two years ago. Originally from Chicago, Katheria earned his bachelor’s degree at UCLA, and his medical degree at Drexel University College of Medicine in Philadelphia.

Anup Katheria: “I want us to be the leader in where therapies for babies are being developed.” He completed his pediatric residency at Children’s Hospital of Orange County and his perinatal-neonatal fellowship at UC San Diego. Katheria worked as an assistant clinical professor of pediatrics at UC San Diego until he joined Sharp to launch the Neonatal Research Institute in 2013. “The whole purpose of me coming to this hospital was to head up a research program,” he explained. “It was a first for Sharp to have a physician that didn’t just do clinical care.” Offering a full range of maternity and women’s surgical services, Sharp Mary Birch Hospital has nine operating rooms and 206 beds, including the region’s largest Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with 84 beds. The hospital delivers more than 9,000 babies each year, which is more than any other hospital in California. With more babies born at Sharp Mary Birch than at any other hospital in the state, Katheria said the Neonatal Research Institute has an opportunity to create a strong research institution that will lead to meaningful breakthroughs. “I really think, with the amount of deliveries we have and with the hospital being so supportive, we can design the next therapy to help lots of babies,” Katheria

said. “And these therapies are not just a U.S. intervention, these are a global intervention.” Other current research at the Neonatal Research Institute includes a study to see whether caffeine given to preterm infants improves heart function and reduces the need for a breathing tube, as well as a study to explore whether a new aerosolized surfactant could prevent premature babies from needing a medicine normally given through a breathing tube. The Neonatal Research Institute’s first study will be published this summer. Shortly after the institute launched, Katheria and his team began exploring whether additional umbilical cord blood improves long-term brain function in babies requiring resuscitation at birth. Through the study, babies were given extra cord blood by either squeezing the cord or waiting to cut it. A two-year grant from the National Institutes of Health required the institute to enroll 80 babies over two years, but Katheria and his team looked at 200 babies in just one year. “We did it in half the time with twice as many babies with the same amount of funding,” he said. “I’m proud that we not only met expectations from a funding standpoint, we doubled it.” Katheria said he wants the Neonatal Research Institute to be known for its important research, but also for conducting research quickly and efficiently. “We want people to know that if we can get funding for certain studies, we will get it done, and we will get it done fast and efficiently,” Katheria said. “We want to get this information out faster so we can change care faster.” For information about the Neonatal Research Institute or to donate, visit www. sharp.com/mary-birch/neonatal-research-institute.cfm.

Business-minded students develop award-winning app: CCA Today BY KAREN BILLING A student-created app that keeps Canyon Crest Academy in the know on campus happenings was recently proclaimed the “Next Big Thing.” The CCA Today app, created in part by CCA sophomore Jabahri Neal and team members from the school’s regional occupational program (ROP) business management class, took first place May 6 in Junior Achievement of San Diego County’s Next Big Thing: Entrepreneur’s Showcase competition. The CCA Today app team will now compete nationally in Washington, D.C., this summer with a chance to be named Student Company of the Year. CCA teams took three of the four awards given at Next Big Thing, with student company Life Support Chargers taking third place and Ride-N-Surf taking Best in Show. The CCA Today app has more than 500 users, and 200 are subscribed to the notifications list. Jabahri’s team has come a long way in a short period of time, first presenting their idea at Junior Achievement’s Quick Pitch 2015. The CCA team competed against 12

CCA winners at The Next Big Thing competition. other high schools and took home the highest fund request, despite having only six weeks to prepare their project versus other schools that had been working on their projects all year. The team received $350 to get the app developed from PEERS Network and JA. “It really sparked us on and motivated us to get to the point we’re at right now,” Jabahri said. Jabahri said the biggest challenge was trying to incorporate everyone’s different ideals for the app — there was admittedly some head-butting, but eventually it became consensus-build-

ing. While the team paid for a developer to build the app, it wasn’t close to what they wanted, so they taught themselves how to edit it. “I got no sleep editing the app to the point where I wanted it,” Jabahri said. The team first published the app on Android Google Play, and it was approved by Apple to place on iTunes. Users can opt to receive notifications regarding CCA sports, ASB or Envision events. There are links to social media live feeds, Aeries Grade portal, all school con-

CCA Today team members (far right with large check) received funding for their project at Junior Achievement’s Quick Pitch competition. tact information, CCA TV, the student store and “Humans of CCA,” a Facebook page by Estevao Macario. There’s even a countdown to the last day of school. “Students really enjoy that,” Jabahri said. “It’s gotten to the point where it’s a lot of work and a lot to take care of, so I’m thankful that we have so many people on this team.” The app may be useful for helping keep incoming freshmen and parents informed, and the school has said it would be willing to try using the app for purchasing event tickets, possibly launching next year. “My main ideal was to create a software that all the students can use to purchase tickets to school events using their phones and debit cards, because not everyone carries cash anymore,” Jabahri said. “There have been countless times I couldn’t go to a school event because I didn’t have cash.”

While the process has taught Jabahri a lot about apps and software development, he is most interested in business management — which is why he’s taken the ROP class taught by Jeannie Chufo twice, now in an advanced section. “She’s a great teacher — I’ve learned the most out of all of my classes at CCA from her,” Jabahri said. “She teaches you life skills. It’s a very great class to take, and I recommend it for all students at CCA.”

BikeWalk lessons keep Solana Vista students on safe path BY KRISTINA HOUCK In honor of National Bike Month, students learned basic bicycle and pedestrian safety skills May 4-8 at Solana Vista School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re encouraging them to ride their bikes or walk to school, so itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important to teach them how to do so safely,â&#x20AC;? said physical education teacher Robin Park, whom the children call â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coach Park.â&#x20AC;? A portion of the playground was transformed into a four-way intersection, complete with stop signs, crosswalks, sidewalks and simulated cars. Using PVC pipes designed to look like handlebars, students pretended to be cyclists while others pretended to be pedestrians. This is the second year Solana Beach resident Karl Rudnick coordinated the on-campus program, which he created with his wife, Jill Cooper, last year.

Locally recognized films to screen May 22 at Canyon Crest Film Festival The ninth annual Canyon Crest Academy Film Festival will be held May 22 featuring a 2015 LA Film Festival student selection and films honored by the San Diego County Office of Education’s Innovative Video in Education (iVIE) Student Film Festival and Awards. The film festival, which begins at 7 p.m., is the biggest fundraiser of the school year for the Envision Cinema Conservatory program. Any student at CCA can enter a five-minute or less short film into one of four categories: comedy, documentary, drama or music video. Industry judges watch the films select a winner in every category plus an overall winner. An audience choice winner is also selected at the festival. CCA parents donate prizes for the winner. The films’ topics range from a behind the scenes documentary about the Switchfoot Bro-Am concert to a narrative film about an alternate universe created from a kit. Envision students produce many of the films during the program’s after-school hours including “Promise”, a film selected for the 2015 LA Film Festival’s Future Filmmaker showcase and “Lily’s Journey”, a documentary that recently won an iVIE award. Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for students at the door. After the festival, people will be able to watch the overall winner and all of this year’s films through the program website at envisioncinema.com.

at county tournament, third at state The Bishop’s School Mock Trial Team once again competed in the San Diego County Mock Trial Tournament, and after a victory over La Jolla Country Day School, advanced to the State tournament in Riverside, where they placed third. On Feb. 28, the Bishop’s team won the San Diego County Tournament, their fifth win in six years. The Mock Trial Team is a class project in Bishop’s Advanced Placement U.S. Government class. From October through February, students learn the roles of trial lawyers, witnesses, bailiff and clerk in order to advocate in a fictional criminal legal proceeding. Each round is scored by attorneys and presided over by judges of the San Diego Superior Court. A few weeks later, the Bishop’s team competed in the state tournament in Riverside. The team went undefeated in the two-day tournament and finished third out of 34 teams, just missing a spot in the championship round. This year’s team finished with a record of nine wins in both the county and state tournaments.

CV Girl Scout Troop 1360 bridges to senior Carmel Valley Girl Scout Troop 1360 just bridged their way across the Golden Gate Bridge from Cadettes to Seniors on May 2. Under the guidance of troop leaders Julie Sherlock and Susan Zhang, this troop has been together since first grade. Their first bridging ceremony from Brownies to Juniors was across the playground bridge at Solana Highlands Elementary School. Then from Juniors to Cadettes, they bridged across the Lake Hodges Bridge in Rancho Bernardo. Now that they are about to enter high school, the troop decided to use the money they had earned from cookie sales to bridge across the San Francisco Golden Gate Bridge. They had a fun-filled weekend touring San Francisco and they really enjoyed being together as a troop. Troop 1360 earned its Bronze award two years ago when the girls were at Solana Pacific School. They are now working on their Silver Award. Next year the girls will be going to Cathedral Catholic, Canyon Crest Academy and Torrey Pines High School. They hope to stay together as a troop and make it all the way through high school. Congratulations on making it to the Senior level of Girl Scouts! We are very proud of you, Troop 1360!

SDJA preschool educator named Teacher of Year San Diego Jewish Academy preschool teacher Beth Polek was named Teacher of the Year by the San Diego Association for the Education of Young Children. On May 7, the association gathered in San Marcos to honor their Teacher of the Year. SDJA preschool teacher Beth Polek accepted the honor. “Three weeks ago I received a voice mail telling me that I won,” said Polek. “I was stunned!” The AEYC is a professional membership organization committed to promoting optimal life experiences for all children from birth to 8 years. Their goal is to raise awareness of how children develop and learn, to collaborate with other organizations and institutions that share their mission, and to advocate for and support early childhood professionals and others who care for children and their families. “I’ve been in education for over 30 years and I’ve been a member of AEYC for 18 of those,” said Polek. “I’m honored Beth Polek — and humbled — to be recognized by the association. But I’m not alone. I am surrounded daily by an incredible staff of teachers here at SDJA who support me and each other for the best learning environment for children.” The San Diego Association for the Education of Young Children was founded in 1964 and is a chapter of the National Association for the Education of Young Children — the world’s largest organization working on behalf of young children.

Ocean Air Elementary fifth- and sixth-graders won multiple awards at the Future Problem Solving State Bowl, a statewide academic competition in San Mateo.

Ocean Air students bring home top honors in problem-solving competition Six teams of students from Ocean Air Elementary brought home multiple honors after a trip to San Mateo recently to compete in the annual California Future Problem Solving State Bowl. Under the guidance of their teacher, Mrs. Ariella Leeder, Ocean Air teams took a first and fifth place in the junior division Global Issues Team Problem Solving competition, a first place in the junior division Global Issues Individual Problem Solving competition, a first, second, and third place win in the Scenario Writing Competition, and a second place and fifth place in the junior Action Plan Presentation division. Students Maya Gopola, Nithya Krishnasamy, Richard Shi, Lynne Xu, Kate Wang, Tess Drosman, Tejan Patel, Natalie Kimm, and Ethan Chang earned a spot in the international competition and will be traveling to Iowa in June to compete against students from across the globe. The topic for this year’s state bowl was Enhancing Human Potential. Students grappled with the challenges that humans will face relating to variety of enhancements, including: cybernetic body parts, memory-enhancing drugs, technologically advanced sports equipment, and human/computer interfaces. Students were presented with a one-page futuristic scenario related to the topic and were asked to use the 6-step Future Problem Solving model to address the topic, determine the most prevalent underlying issue, and develop solutions along with an action plan to best resolve the issue. California Future Problem Solving Program combines the rigorous intellectual challenge of creative problem solving with an interdisciplinary study of the future. The program is designed for students in grades 4-12 and helps develop their abilities in research, critical thinking, creativity, and teamwork.

Kickstarter campaign aims at robot kits for kids Robolink, Inc., is launching a campaign on Kickstarter for Rokit Smart, an innovative and affordable robot kit that teaches kids how to program and build robots in as little as one hour. With Rokit Smart, kids as young as 8 years old can program these robots to autonomously follow a track, be controlled by remote and many other exciting tasks. Rokit Smart includes instructions to build 12 different robots, but the only limit to what kids can build with this kit is their imagination. Until now, there has never been a robotics kit with so many potential options for such a low price point. Rokit Smart will bring the excitement of robotics to kids who never before considered the idea that they could build and program their own robot. Thousands of elementary school students across Southern California have tested prototypes for Rokit Smart and they have all been amazed at how easy it is to build and program their own robot. “When I see how much fun kids are having as the robot they just built dribbles a ball or navigates a maze, it always brings a huge smile to my face,” says Hansol Hong, Robolink’s Director of Business Development. Discovering how the motors, sensors, linkages and software of a robot interact with each other has proven to be a fantastic way of introducing young students to science, technology, engineering and mathematics, also known as STEM education. After building and programming the out-of-the-box robots, kids will be able to apply what they learned and make their own robots. Rokit Smart is compatible with Arduino, a programming language designed for robots that they can download free. “Learning to program our robots is a perfect stepping-stone into languages like C and C++. That’s going to be an incredibly valuable skill as these kids get older,” says Hong. The Kickstarter campaign for Rokit Smart has a goal of $15,000 by June 16. The money will pay for manufacturing the first run of Rokit Smarts. The first 100 backers will have the opportunity to secure a Rokit Smart for $109, a savings of 25 percent off the retail price.

For Aubrey Huff, a passion for baseball from the major leagues to Canyon Crest

Aubrey Huff during his time as part of the World Series Champion San Francisco Giants. Courtesy photo

BY ROB LEDONNE Carmel Valley resident Aubrey Huff will remember winning the World Series while playing for the San Francisco Giants for the rest of his life. “I grew up in Texas and we were playing the Texas Rangers,” he explained. “During one of the games, I was rounding second base, about to score a run, and I looked up and saw the same spot where I used to sit during dollar hot dog nights as a kid. “It was a full-circle moment you work your entire life for.” Stories like that make Huff the crown jewel of Canyon Crest Academy’s baseball program, where he’s an assistant coach and considers himself more of a mentor and a friend. “I’d like to think I’m a pretty good motivator,” he explains. “I’m there to offer any advice I can. Sometimes students get too worked up about winning or losing, but baseball is really about having fun. I try to be helpful like that, and teach kids how baseball parallels life itself.” Huff has led a charmed life and athletic career, whether it was when he was a stand-out playing for the University of Miami, or when he played for a host of major league teams, including the Tampa Bay Devil Rays, Baltimore Orioles, or Houston Astros. However, he did have moments of self-doubt. “There were so many times where I was a part of deadlast teams and I was thinking, ‘Is this even worth it?’” Huff recalled. “Playing for the Giants wasn’t even my choice — but the good Lord put that opportunity in front of me, knowing this was going to happen.” It took nine years in the majors until he earned his first World Series ring as part of the 2010 San Francisco Giants — a feat he’d accomplish again with the team in 2012. But it wasn’t until he retired three years ago and began looking back on his athletic career that he truly appreciated the experience of playing professional baseball. “The more time goes by, the more I think how blessed I

am to play the game,” said Huff, who realized a long-time dream of retiring to San Diego’s North County. “My career in baseball wasn’t always roses — it involved a lot of personal growth on and off the field — but to make it through and and have a healthy family now, I couldn’t be more happy.” When Huff retired at 36, he had the mind-set that he’d relax for the rest of his life. However, he soon found out that the transition from major league ballplayer to civilian was a difficult one. “The thing I missed most about baseball was the camaraderie,” he explained. “You hear it all the time, but people have no idea what it’s like to retire from professional sports. You go from touring the country with 40,000 people cheering you to complete silence. I don’t think sports in general does enough for guys for when they retire.” Upon retiring, Huff fell into a deep depression, but was able to bounce back when he became involved not only with the Canyon Crest team, but his young children’s T-Ball league. He also became a force behind the company LifeVantage, which is a line of supplements that he credits with helping him feel normal again. “I’ve been loving it,” he said. “I only became involved after seeing what it did for me — which was raise me out of my depression.” Today, Huff tries to teach young players and his own children about the importance of perseverance. “You need the ability to overcome failure and grow,” he said. “Behind your fears is a person you want to be, and if you want to change your life, you have to go out and get it. “Sometimes I think the Canyon Crest kids are too smart for baseball,” he joked. “I’ll see them on the field talking about equations. I’m like, ‘This is baseball, guys! Let it go!’”

LOCAL ATTORNEY

CAN SHOW YOU HOW TO SUCCESSFULLY TRANSFER AND PRESERVE YOUR WEALTH A death in the family can serve as a crippling blow, both emotionally and ďŹ nancially. It can also motivate us to make positive changes in our lives and the lives of others. Kristina R. Hessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; life was impacted in such a way when her father passed away suddenly in 2007. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was a very inspirational, positive person in my life,â&#x20AC;? said Hess, who founded her San Diego-based legal ďŹ rm two years later. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He coached me in soccer. He was the spiritual leader of our family and just had a very powerful inďŹ&#x201A;uence on us.â&#x20AC;?

Kristina R. Hess, J.D., M.A.

Now as managing attorney of KR Hess Law, Hess is focused on imparting a similar inďŹ&#x201A;uence in her clients. Her ďŹ rm recently unveiled its innovative Legacy Building Success Systemâ&#x201E;˘, designed to help families shift mindset into building powerful, enduring legacies. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to change the course of history in familiesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; lives,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Hess credits her father â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he had started the process of legacy planning with his own ďŹ nances but passed away too quickly â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with planting the legacy-focused seed in her professional approach. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have always been passionate about it,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Especially after seeing how my dad was focused on it but ultimately left the work incomplete.â&#x20AC;? Hessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; ďŹ rm primarily provides estate planning and probate work. Her mission with the new legacy system is to empower and equip families, and to create lifetime legacies that span generations. Smart business, legal and ďŹ nancial decisions as well as family communication & trust are all determining factors in reaching these objectives. All too often, Hess sees family wealth wasted rather than preserved and optimized. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Studies show that 70 percent of family wealth is squandered by the ďŹ rst generation,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And by the third generation, 90 percent is lost.â&#x20AC;? So how can families avoid becoming just another statistic in inadequate wealth management?

Hess and legacy coach, Erik Frederickson, created a proprietary 5 module approach to guide clients through the legacy planning process. Her solutions are tailored to client needs and personal circumstances because different people may have varying goals with their money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People work hard and some want to leave something bigger than themselves,â&#x20AC;? Hess said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They just may not be sure of how to do it.â&#x20AC;? Such aspirations can include starting a charitable foundation, contributing to a substantial cause or simply making sure future generations are afforded ďŹ nancial stability. All are achievable, Hess says, with proper planning and diligent adherence to a strategic plan of action. Hess coordinates and moderates interactive seminars on estate planning, including the upcoming â&#x20AC;&#x2122;10 Biggest Estate Planning Mistakesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; event Tuesday, June 2 in Del Mar. She urges community members to attend and to reach out with any questions on her ďŹ rmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new Legacy Building Success Systemâ&#x201E;˘.

however, the goal each year is closer to $2 million. The foundation plans to present its contribution check to the school board on May 27. As of next year, Del Mar’s program will no longer be known as ESC but as “STEAM Plus.” The foundation plans to roll out the new STEAM Plus program at its Tuesday, May 12 meeting at 7 p.m. at Ashley Falls School. STEAM Plus is a curriculum based on educating students in the disciplines of science, technology, engineering, arts and math, plus physical wellness and research. Projects are designed with an interdisciplinary and applied approach, rather than teaching the subjects separately. Participation in the 2014-15 campaign is at 45 percent, and several fundraising events have been very successful — the Torrey Hills

School Pajama Jam brought in their highest total ever with $22,000, and Snooze an AM Eatery contributed 10 percent of its proceeds from breakfast on April 23, anticipated to be about $3,000. “Ocean Air School has repeatedly been the leader in family participation for the district when it comes to ESC contributions, and this year we are slightly behind, which has impacted not only our school but the district as a whole,” Humes said. Humes is personally hosting an event in the Ocean Air neighborhood from 4-7 p.m. Sunday, May 17, at Crust Pizzeria. Humes aims to raise $50,000 in that three-hour period to help push the foundation over the finish line. Crust Pizzeria is at 4653 Carmel Mountain Road. Visit dmsef.org.

Timken Museum of Art recently announced that Carmel Valley resident Megan Pogue has been named the general manager of the organization. Considered one of the finest small museums in the world, Timken Museum of Art, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, features a beautiful collection, intimate surroundings and perennially free admission. “Megan’s strong leadership, commitment to the arts, and in-depth knowledge of the San Diego community provides the opportunity for a new direction for Timken Museum of Art,” said Tim Zinn, president of the museum’s board of directors. He added, “Her creative packaging of events and programs will enable us to expand our emphasis on being the Megan Pogue source of art, energy, and fun in Balboa Park.” Pogue begins her new position with Timken Museum of Art on May 15. “I’m excited to join the dedicated board, staff and volunteers of Timken Museum of Art during this celebratory golden anniversary,” said Pogue. “It’s an honor to work with David Bull, the museum’s esteemed Visiting Curator, considered one of the world’s top art restorers and a leading authority on Old Master paintings. We shall build on the strength and quality of what Timken Museum of Art has established over the last fifty years, and I look forward to increasing its presence and relevance in the community, as well as in the national and international art world.” Before joining the museum, Pogue spent more than 11 years at the San Diego Symphony as its vice president of business development. She was instrumental in increasing the organization’s visibility and revenue from $8 million in 2003 to $23 million in 2014. She created the signature Tux ’n Tennies, Donovan’s Wine Dinner, and the Home for the Holidays and Star Spangled Pops Salute military events, along with the sellout Summer Pops Champagne Chalet. She pioneered the symphony’s efforts to establish permanent summer residence at the Embarcadero Marina Park South and was responsible for the recent multimillion-dollar renovation of Jacobs Music Center. A Southern California native and graduate of San Diego State University, Pogue is committed to making a difference in the nonprofit community. Her eight years as president of a $22 million “for profit” national fresh produce company supervising more than 600 employees, as well as her management role in a Beverly Hills investment banking firm, prepare her for the operational challenges facing most nonprofits.

she said. Along with its customers, the district will also face penalties if it doesn’t reach the state-mandated cut of 36 percent, said Parks. The rules approved by state water officials call for penalties of up to $10,000 per day for water agencies that don’t meet their targeted cutbacks. Statewide, the goal is a 25 percent cut in water use by June 1. “If we don’t comply, they’ll just fine us. It’s going to be a huge challenge,” Parks said. In setting their reduction targets, state water officials are demanding that water agencies cut their use by a range of 4 to 36 percent. Santa Fe is in the highest tier of cuts because its per capita water use is among the highest in the state. However, district general manager Michael Bardin said the cuts mandated by the state don’t take into account a 20 percent reduction in water use already achieved by the Santa Fe district. Because the cuts are pegged to the calendar year 2013, after the district cut its water use, the district is essentially not getting credit for the work it has already done to conserve, Bardin said in an interview in April. He said a better way to calculate new cuts would be to base them on a 10-year average of water use. The district is asking agricultural customers to cut back even more than residential customers. Grove owners, the Rancho Santa Fe golf course and the Rancho Santa Fe Association, which maintains road medians, will be asked to cut their water use by 50 percent, Parks said. The district is also considering a move to a Level 3 drought response, which will include more restrictions on water use, including a cut in the number of allowed watering days from three to two. Some in the water industry have said it is unrealistic for the state to require such steep cuts in such a short period of time, said Parks. But Santa Fe is working fast to meet its obligation of a 36 percent drop in water use. “As a district, that’s what we’ve been told, that’s our goal, that’s what we are going to shoot for,” Parks said. The uncharacteristically large turnout at Thursday’s workshop session was encouraging, she said. “It shows the people in our district are there to do what they can to meet the state mandate,” she said.

A word from the publisher about our news By now, everyone in San Diego must know that Tribune Publishing Co., owner of the Los Angeles Times, has agreed to acquire the U-T San Diego. You might not be aware, though, that the Del Mar Times, Carmel Valley News, Solana Beach Sun is owned by the U-T and thus will become part of the Tribune Co.’s portfolio of newspapers next month, when the deal is expected to close. We don’t anticipate any changes to your Del Mar Times, Carmel Valley News, Solana Beach Sun. Since the LA Times has been at the forefront in the evolution of digital publishing, we do expect that our local websites and mobile editions will benefit from their expertise. The new relationship will also assist local businesses, as more sophisticated digital tools will become available in our market. While local weekly newspapers have not faced the same challenges of our daily counterparts, being owned by an innovative, financially sound newspaper company can only spell good things for this newspaper and the community as well.

Testing, testing...1, 2, 3

BY MARSHA SUTTON For most of us, the month of May brings to mind images of flowers, sunshine, relaxing beach time and the coming summer. For students, May is anticipated about as much as spring allergies and pollen. May is the month of testing, and it’s not a happy time in classrooms. High school students are already enduring a grueling Marsha Sutton spring marathon of Advanced Placement tests, SATs, ACTs, midterms and finals. Kids in grades 3 to 8, and 11th-graders, now have the state’s new Smarter Balanced assessments to contend with. A clunky name to be sure, Smarter Balanced (doesn’t that sound like a butter?) is the state’s replacement for the former assessments known as STAR. Based on assessing how well kids are learning under the new Common Core State Standards (CCSS), these tests were developed by the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium (SBAC). The purpose of the tests is to provide teachers, parents and students with information on how well students are meeting expectations set by CCSS. More acronyms: CAASPP, which stands for California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress System, is the overall system of assessments established on Jan. 1, 2014, of which SBAC is a part. And SBAC is based on CCSS. It’s alphabet soup time. Complete information on the Smarter Balanced consortium and its assessments in English/language arts and mathematics can be found at www. smarterbalanced.org. Opt-outs have been minimal in local districts, but pockets of communities across the state and country have seen opt-out rates as high as 50 to 70 percent. As someone who once advocated for a complete boycott at Torrey Pines High School of the state’s previous STAR testing program in its early years, I am now conflicted. My reasons then were that it did nothing for students, only gave local schools bragging rights (or the opposite, serving to embarrass schools that couldn’t make meaningful progress because they primarily served underprivileged kids), and ate up class time that could have (should have) been used for purposeful instruction. I suppose those reasons still apply. But somehow it’s different this time. And that’s because of Common Core. I like Common Core. I know that’s not a popular thing to say these days, with the backlash across the country. But it makes sense to create a nationwide system that standardizes instruction across all states, raises rigor, and focuses on applied learning and skills that are not based on rote memorization. It’s a fact that students are graduating from high school unprepared for college, the workplace, the military or other professional careers. Many straight-A students don’t know how to think. They haven’t learned how to apply knowledge, integrate subject matter, communicate their thoughts, or work in a cooperative environment. We hear it over and over, from professors, employers, professionals and the government. Common Core seeks to address these concerns. But what’s happened is that Common Core has somehow been hijacked by those who believe it’s a left-wing conspiracy to usurp states’ rights or “dumb down” the curriculum. Some history Common Core standards were not invented by President Barack Obama

or Education Secretary Arne Duncan in a smoke-filled room behind closed doors. “Developed voluntarily and cooperatively by 48 states, two territories, and the District of Columbia, the Common Core State Standards offer schools, teachers, students, and parents clear, understandable, and consistent standards in English and math. The CCSS defines the knowledge and skills students should take away from their K-12 schooling to be successfully prepared for postsecondary and career opportunities. More than 43 states have adopted the Common Core State Standards.” (http://www.smarterbalanced.org/resources-events/faqs) I discussed Common Core in an interview January 2014 with the superintendents of the Del Mar and Solana Beach school districts, Holly McClurg and Nancy Lynch, both of whom lauded the new standards. They said governors, universities, business and industry came together in frustration over the lack of preparation they were seeing from high school graduates, even those with strong GPAs and high test scores, who often struggled when faced with real-life problems. With narrower, deeper and more rigorous standards, CCSS was generated out of a new awareness that students are graduating high school without the skills and knowledge they need for success in college and career. Lynch and McClurg said there has been a recognition for many years that the old system was not doing its best to prepare young people for new jobs, new skills and new careers — work that couldn’t have been imagined 20 years ago. Having seen many education fads come and go, both superintendents were enthusiastic about the changes ahead and said this was definitely not the “flavor of the year.” Both agreed that students now need to demonstrate their knowledge in ways that show a more multifaceted understanding of the nature of the lessons. Lynch said one veteran teacher told her, “This is the most transformational time in education ever.” Both leaders emphatically agreed. “They’ve added more depth and complexity,” Lynch said. “This is by far superior,” McClurg said. “It’s all about good teaching and learning.” All local districts are in the midst of SBAC testing this month. Lynch and McClurg estimated that their third- through fifth-grade students are testing in math and English/language arts for about seven hours total. Plus, for fifth-graders, there’s an additional two hours of science testing. Solana Beach and Del Mar also include sixth grade, which is considered middle school for testing purposes. Middle school students, those in grades 6-8, test longer. Del Mar reported 11 opt-outs for the four grades being tested, while Solana Beach reported five. Rancho Santa Fe School District Superintendent Lindy Delaney said she has 13 out of 245 opting out of testing in grades 3-5 and 12 out of 243 opting out in grades 6-8. RSF serves students in grades K through eighth. The tests are spread out over several weeks and are not timed, so students can take as long as they need. Last week, I watched about 30 eighth-grade students at Earl Warren Middle School take a Smarter Balanced math test in the school’s computer lab. It was fascinating, seeing students plugged into their electronic devices, taking tests in a “Brave New World” sort of way. (Part Two, next week, focuses on San Dieguito Union High School District’s testing philosophies, and why these tests are different from what we’ve seen before.)

Letters to the editor/Opinion

Distortion does not help the conversation RE: What is the role of Community Planning Boards? (May 7) I appreciate the thoughts shared in last week’s letter to the editor; regular examination of any public board is always in order. That is what transparency and accountability is all about. But distortion does not help the conversation. Planning boards operate under the California Brown Act, which requires them to post an agenda 72 hours in advance. Most boards, if not all, have their agenda accessible online. Their actions are advisory; but no one should expect them to sit idly by when local or citywide issues may adversely affect their community. When the community stays informed but opts not to participate, are they not offering a tacit vote of support of the good work of their planning board? Not volunteering, not attending, and not voting leaves the elections and decision-making to those who do. If you are troubled by their actions, get involved; casting aspersions from the sidelines helps no one. Joe LaCava Chair, San Diego Community Planners Committee

San Diegans ready to have say in One Paseo I’m so glad that the One Paseo project is headed back to the City Council! I fervently hope that the councilmembers realize what a dangerous precedent they would set by stuffing this dense, high-rise project into our quiet low-rise area — and totally disregarding and overturning our Carmel Valley Community Plan to do so. San Diegans are ready to have a say in the matter. That wouldn’t be possible except for the resolve and dedication (over several years) of hundreds of residents of not just Carmel Valley, but also Torrey Pines, Del Mar, Solana Beach and other neighborhoods — as well as the financial support of the owner of Del Mar Highlands Town Center (Donahue Schreiber). More than $75 million has been spent by the One Paseo developer, Kilroy (according to its own financial statements), in trying to destroy years of careful city planning. And this is on top of the $88 million to buy the property. But the Carmel Valley residents opposing One Paseo don’t have the deep pockets that Kilroy does. We welcomed and needed Donahue Schrieber’s financial contribution, which pales in comparison to what Kilroy has spent. Without the generosity of our retail neighbor, we would never have made it this far in our campaign to preserve our community plan. And for that, my neighbors and I will forever be thankful. Of course, Kilroy’s PR machine minimizes our opposition by suggesting that the Town Center is the project’s sole opponent — not true! If that were the case, would tens of thousands of San Diegans have petitioned the Council to rescind its decision or put the matter to a citywide vote? Donahue Schrieber is also accused of acting in its own interests — to protect itself from One Paseo’s proposed retail competition. Well, why shouldn’t it oppose this project? Donahue Shreiber has been a fair and responsible developer; it has played by the rules and has kept its center strictly within the City’s planning limits. But Kilroy would flagrantly disregard years of careful community planning. It would be patently unfair to let Kilroy get away with such egregious, self-serving, unbridled, and greedy overdevelopment. Further, Kilroy’s underhanded campaign to persuade voters to rescind their petition signatures failed miserably — 90 percent of their signatures were not valid — which shows the weakness of their claim that community residents support the project. Nice try, Kilroy. The communities have spoken, and we say No to One Paseo! Marcia Blackmon-Balch Carmel Valley

Here’s how Planning Boards work — and how they put One Paseo back on the agenda Responding to your reader’s question asking about the role of the Community Planning Boards (May 8), the author’s complaint appears to be that the Planning Boards are ineffective because City Council passed One Paseo, whereas it’s really about feeling disenfranchised from the voting process. City Council approved One Paseo over the strong opposition and disapproval of the four adjacent Planning Boards. Author stated, “We should keep these groups as originally intended, as advisory only.” That is what we are, but City Council’s duty to its citizens is to abide by the democratic process, installed within the representative government form we have. Seven of the nine city council persons overrode Lightner (her area) and Emerald, who voted against One Paseo. They ignored the will of the people stated not only by the four affected boards, but by the nearly 1,000 persons attending the council hearing. Writer states that she has never voted for any representative on her planning board, but all community planning boards have to have open, noticed, community elections, by law. Has she ever been to a meeting, read her local paper, called her city councilperson’s office to inquire about her board’s meetings/elections? Our elections are always properly noticed, public invited, publicly voted. Our monthly meetings are noticed as well. The author also seems unaware that a One Paseo project now goes back to City Council, and if not reversed, goes on a ballot as a referendum for a vote, all thanks to the work of these boards and the endless work of their very involved communities. Noel Spaid, Chair Torrey Pines Community Planning Board

Don’t miss May 18 council meeting on DM Design Review Ordinance In the May 7th edition of your Del Mar Times, there was an article by Kristina Houck regarding Del Mar’s design review process, wherein she reported that many of our residents have become increasingly concerned about how the Design Review Board has been interpreting the ordinance in such a way as to favor the applicants over the concerns of the neighborhood residents. Architectural design has greatly increased the bulk and mass of more and more residential housing and because of the way the ordinance is written, there seems to be no way to legally prevent this from becoming the norm, to the detriment of our way of life here in this small residential-oriented community. The word on the street is this: Things must change, and the ordinance must be rewritten so that our neighborhoods do not become blighted with more, large out-of-scale homes. The neighbors have spoken up and our city council members have begun to take notice. If you care about the future of your neighborhood — no matter where you reside within Del Mar — do not miss the May 18 City Council meeting, where this important Design Review Ordinance will be on the agenda. Make every effort possible to be there and speak your piece so that the necessary changes can be made. Our voices together can make it happen. Hershell Price Del Mar

Planning boards acted correctly re One Paseo The purpose of government is to serve and protect its citizens. To this end, the city government has set up planning boards to render decisions on development projects to make sure that projects are a good fit for the community. The planning boards acted correctly with regard to One Paseo; the City Council did not act correctly. As to the selection process for community board members, obviously the selection process should focus on people living in the community, not those living in the entire city, since the planning boards pertain to their community, not the city as a whole. John Fiscella Carmel Valley

Planning boards are elected, and they do the work I feel compelled to respond to Linda Katzman’s letter regarding our community planning committees. First, they are, indeed, elected. If you attend the meetings, you can vote for candidates or even run for a seat. It’s unfortunate that few people attend these meetings, which are open to all residents. Second, while they are advisory committees, when four area community planning committees and two neighboring towns, plus our county board representative all recommend a “no” vote for a proposed developmental after years of careful evaluation, the City Council should seriously consider that advice. In the case of One Paseo, the San Diego City Council, after scant weeks of evaluating the tax revenue they could collect, and with a simple promise of a few “affordable housing units,” disregarded that advice and approved the project. To answer the question you posed, what is the purpose of our community planning boards? It’s to do that research that the City Council doesn’t do. It’s to carefully evaluate the impact of proposed developments on the community. And it’s to provide sound advice to the City Council. It’s up to the City Council to either heed that advice, or admit that the input is not considered important. Paul Silver, Carmel Valley

Answers to two questions about the role of community planning boards Last week a reader posed two interesting questions: 1. What is the role of community planning boards? 2. Why is the election process for the planning board and the city council different? These observations are interesting and can lead to a healthy conversation. To the first point: Although community planning boards were created by the city of San Diego as advisory groups for land-use questions, they soon became City Hall’s first line of representation. One way to look at this is that your neighbors on the planning board will volunteer their time to help your voice be heard, though a cynic might say that this arrangement gives City Hall more power — the voter being moved one layer away from the decision makers. My personal observation is that both statements are true, especially the part about planning board members being your neighbors who will help route your concerns to the proper offi-

cials. Note also that the city councilperson, county supervisor, and public safety officers all either attend or send a representative to the planning board meetings for two-way information exchanges. This is a good, healthy forum for information exchange. Every time I have gone to a planning board meeting, I have witnessed dedicated neighbors listening to people’s concerns, helping however they can, and I must congratulate the persons who volunteer their time on these boards. To the second point, yes, the planning board election process is completely different than all other elections. If people attend one or two planning board meetings, then, as I understand it, they may be elected by whomever attends the election. The election is publicly announced. This election process results in capable people who are willing to donate their time for the good of the community. Finally, this process results in the will of See BOARDS, page 26

Carmel Valley Trail 5K and 10K to benefit Girls on the Run Seasick Sports Marketing of Del Mar recently announced that Girls on the Run will be the beneficiary charity of the second Carmel Valley Trail 5K and 10K coming up Sept. 19. “With most of our runners being female, there is no better foundation we could have supported this year,” said Jeff Stoner of Seasick Marketing. Girls on the Run of San Diego is an organization that inspires girls to take charge of their lives and learn of their limitless potential. Girls meet twice a week not only to run, but to learn life skills and build self-esteem. Locally, there are teams at the Carmel Valley Recreation Center, Sycamore Ridge School and Skyline School in Solana Beach. Amy Jerome, executive director of Girls on the Run San Diego, said it was an honor to be selected as the partnering charity for the trail races. “Our growing outreach to girls and families across San Diego will benefit greatly from the support of race participants this year,” Jerome said. The 5K and 10K is the only race through The Carmel Valley Trail 5K and 10K the beautiful Gonzales Canyon open space and returns this fall, benefiting Girls on the Torrey Highlands Community Park. With an Run. Courtesy photo elevation gain between 300 and 500 feet, participants will experience a combination of single-track and dirt service trail roads. Both courses will see a mix of flat and fast with some hills thrown in for “extra flavor.” Stoner said Seasick is committed to donating a minimum of $1 from each participant’s registration to Girls on the Run and plans to set up other onsite donation opportunities at the race. Registration is open at cvtrailrace.com. — Karen Billing

Local high school tennis team ‘neighbors’ compete for San Diego CIF title The Torrey Pines High School boys tennis team has dominated the local high school tennis scene for decades, claiming its third San Diego Section California Interscholastic Federation crown in four years with a 13-5 win over Canyon Crest Academy. It is interesting to note that the two best teams out of 87 in San Diego County are located just three miles away from each other. The match was played at the Barnes Youth Tennis Center on May 7. TPHS swept the singles with high school standout seniors Charles Pei, Max Liu and Raul de la Torre. The CCA Ravens displayed their might by winning five of nine doubles matches. CCA standouts were Reid Ponder, Jake Williams, Roman Shenkiryk, and Val Poiset. The No. 1-seeded Falcons posted decisive wins over No. 8 La Costa Canyon and No. 4 La Jolla High to reach the section final. In his second season at TPHS, Coach John DeLille has led both the boy’s and girl’s squads to undefeated seasons that have culminated with San Diego Section CIF Open titles.

Also in his second year at the helm, Coach Larry Belinsky helped the CCA Ravens reach their first and inaugural CIF “Open” Division final. The No. 6-seeded Ravens (labeled as the “Cinderella Team”) battled No. 3 Westview in the quarterfinals and No. 2 Del Norte High School in the semifinals in two thrilling and close encounters before meeting TP at the pinnacle. Assistant Coach Christopher Black is especially proud of the steady growth of the tennis program and the successes of CCA scholar-athletes on and off the court. The Ravens won a Division 2 Boys title in 2012, and reached the CIF Section finals the past four consecutive years. The 2014 CCA girls team, led by Coach Belinsky, won the Division 1 Section title, making tennis the only CCA sport to have both boys and girls CIF banners waving in the gym. And in case this wasn’t enough, the two “neighbors,” CCA and TP, will proudly represent San Diego at the SoCal Regional State Championships at the end of the month.

Thanks for making us look good! 2014

cause some story poles would need to be installed in driveways, fire lanes and parking spaces. During an onsite visit in January, the fire chief and fire marshal confirmed that, if installed, many of the poles and support structures would create a public safety hazard because they would make it difficult or impossible for responders to reach the site. Therefore, under the original plan, the developer proposed to install only 70 percent of the 182 required story poles. H.G. Fenton planned to display the remaining 30 percent, or 54 poles, in a 3-D digital model. The company also proposed using temporary mobile cranes to simulate the location of the waived poles, according to the original plan. When that plan was presented during the March 11 council meeting, however, more than a dozen people asked council members to deny the request, arguing that they needed to see a complete picture of the proposed remodel. The city also received several letters opposing the plan. The council continued the public hearing to April 8 so the developer could hold a community meeting and refine the plans. The April 8 hearing was continued to May 6. About 40 people attended the April 15 workshop, where H.G. Fenton introduced the modified plan. After hearing the revised plan at St. James Academy, workshop attendees walked over to the property to better visualize some of the proposed story poles. H.G. Fenton presented the modified plan during the May 6 council meeting, outlining what types of poles would be placed where. The revised story pole plan uses a combination of four methods to mark building envelopes, including heights, corners and edges. The plan uses 134 traditional story poles. The plan also uses triangulated points, which safely show the corner of a building in the middle of a drive aisle by using support poles with a wire going across them on each side of the drive aisle. There will be some sort of soft indicator, such as a flag, dropping down to indicate the corner of a building. A wire with flags will show the side of a building. There are 26 triangulated points and about 48 support poles. Additional support poles may be needed for safety reasons. There are still some poles that can’t be accommodated by this system, so the plan also incorporates nine offset, traditionally installed poles. Six poles overexaggerate the length or width of the building by 31 inches to 16 feet, 9 inches. Three of the poles underexaggerate the length or width of the building by 14 inches to 45 inches. Last, the plan includes one location where a boom lift with a pole will be parked on site. The installation will take about two weeks to complete. The poles will remain in place for at least 30 days. After the installation, the developers plan to hold two workshops on a weekday and a weekend to answer questions about the story poles. The developers will also meet with residents by appointment. The plan, which is color-coded with a legend, will be available at city hall and at the com-

plex’s leasing office. “We’re grateful that you continued this public hearing, for directing H.G. Fenton to rework their story pole plan,” said Gina Jacobs, a resident of Turfwood, a neighboring condominium community. Several residents from the complex attended the meeting. “It would have been impossible for us and other neighbors to gain insight into the scope, ramifications or implications of this project if the applicant had been able to move forward with their initial story pole plan.” Jacobs asked for at least three community meetings, but said she appreciated that the applicant agreed to meet privately with individuals and groups. Resident Jim Ratzer also asked for additional weekend meetings, as well as additional lifts onsite in case there are questions about the offset poles. Council members thought that two meetings and additional meetings upon request met the community’s needs. H.G. Fenton also agreed to have additional lifts onsite during the public meetings. “I appreciate the applicant’s efforts,” said Deputy Mayor David Zito. “This is going to be very complex. It will be a learning experience for all of us.” “Thank you for your creativity and innovation in coming up with this,” added Mayor Lesa Heebner. “I think that will go a long way as we get to the next phase of public input on the project, which is listening and seeing if we could also make a few adjustments if we were to hear that they were, perhaps, needed.”

the people being made known to City Hall, and our councilperson took the community consensus to the City Council, where the other councilmembers all rejected it. ... (It seems that if One Paseo were a good thing they would all be fighting to have it moved to their district, but instead they slam-dunked it back into Carmel Valley.) When voters’ wishes are ignored, those persons have the right to voice an appeal, and that’s what is happening here; the interesting wrinkle is that they’re not just doing it as voters, but as planning boards. The original purpose of the planning boards is to advise the city on land-use issues, and they seem to be doing this. People asserting their opinion is a good, healthy thing. I highly recommend that anyone interested in the planning board process simply start going to the meetings. The meetings are welcoming, and the people are nice. Get to know the people on the board, and you will probably be impressed. Victor Marshall

Chechen visitors get taste of sunny San Diego, thanks to Del Mar Rotary Club

Rachel Liu and Carolyn Chu wirh Congressman Scott Peters.

Torrey Pines High School student wins 52nd District’s 2015 Congressional Art Competition •CCA student winner of “fan favorite” contest U.S. Congressman Scott Peters hosted a reception recently, attended by more than 100, for the participants of the 52nd District’s Congressional Art Competition and their families. At the event, held at The Athenaeum Music and Arts Library in La Jolla, Rep. Peters announced Carolyn Chu of Torrey Pines High School had been selected by the judging panel as the winner and Rachel Liu of Canyon Crest Academy had won the fan favorite competition. “Congratulations to Carolyn and Rachel and thank you to all the students who submitted their creative pieces to the competition. The arts and design allow students to develop creative problem-solving abilities, which employers list as one of the top five skills that will become increasingly important over the next five years,” Peters stated. “Our great panel of judges also deserve a shout out for their work again this year.” The winning entry, as judged by a panel of local art experts, was “14 Second Daydream” by Carolyn Chu. Her work will be displayed in the United States Capitol Building for the next year. The fan favorite, as determined by the most ‘Likes’ of the image on the Congressman’s Facebook page, was “Giant Down Below” by Rachel Liu. Her work will be placed on display at Congressman Peters’ District Office near the UTC Mall.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK The Del Mar Rotary Club recently welcomed visitors from a Rotary Club on the other side of the globe. Hosted by the Del Mar club and sponsored by the Open World Leadership Center, delegates from Grozny, the capital of Chechnya, visited Del Mar from March 27 through April 4. “We’re trying to build bridges through Rotary,” said Del Mar Rotarian Marty Peters, who coordinated the trip. “We use sister club relationships to build trust through service.” Six Chechens endorsed by Del Mar Rotary’s sister club, Grozny Rotary Club, participated in the nine-day trip: youth professional Rakhman Zaburayev, former UNICEF officer Zaret Israilova, lawyer Emiliya Salamova, journalist Khava Khasmagomadova, lawyer Magomed Israilov and facilitator Ilya Kvyatkovskiy. Peters coordinated the program after he met a Rotarian from Del Mar Rotary’s sister club, Grozny Rotary Club, at a Rotary International meeting. Rotary International is a service organization of approximately 1.2 million people in 34,000 clubs around the world. From the Salk Institute research organization to the world-famous San Diego Zoo, Peters led the group on about 40 hours of site visits throughout Del Mar and the greater San Diego region. Other stops included the Cabrillo National Monument and USS Midway Museum. “The whole trip was eye-opening for all these people,” said Peters. Open

Six visitors from a Rotary Club in Grozny, Chechen Republic, were hosted by the Del Mar Rotary recently. Courtesy photo World translator Sergei Vladov stayed with Peters during the trip. In an effort to expose the group to the many cultures and social issues of San Diego County and the United States, Peters drove a 15-passenger van about 800 miles and also visited other local Rotary clubs, branches of the Boys and Girls Clubs of San Dieguito, Interfaith Community Services, the Islamic Center of San Diego, and more. Delegates met with government and religious leaders, including Del Mar city staff. “We were trying to teach them, through exposure to these various places, how we work with our refugees,” said Peters, a Del Mar resident since 1976, who joined Rotary soon after moving to the community. Rotarians Al Tarkington, Haylea Minks, Pat Caughey and Pat Dougherty opened their homes to the delegates. “I thought it would be enlightening,” said Dougherty, a Solana Beach resident and Del Mar Rotarian. “I thought it would be neat to get to know someone who comes from halfway around the world, comes from a different culture and different ideals.” Khasmagomadova stayed at Dougherty’s home. He noted the 27-year-old was reluctant to visit the zoo and was surprised

to see “how well we take care of our animals.” Caughey, a Solana Beach resident and San Diego Rotary Club member, said he invited his guest, Salamova, to the Friday Fish Feast at St. James Catholic Church on her first night in town. “She was very open and very comfortable sitting with us,” Caughey said. He noted how the 34-year-old cried when she saw the ocean for the first time. “It was a great opportunity to meet her and get to know her. It was an eye-opener for us as it was an eye-opener for her.” Minks, a Solana Beach resident and Del Mar Rotary Club member, said she was “compelled” to participate in the program after hearing about the wonderful experiences past host families have had. “It was mutually beneficial,” she said. “I learned a lot about their country and I hope they learned a lot about our culture and way of life. It was inspiring and humbling. I truly made a wonderful connection and friendship with a few of those that participated. I would highly recommend other Rotarians consider this act of service for their club.” For more information on the Del Mar Rotary Club, visit www.delmarrotary.org.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Hosting an international student offers benefits, awareness on both sides Have you ever thought about hosting an international student? Perhaps you know someone who currently hosts or who has hosted an international student in the past. International Education Management (IEM) provides access to an American education for high school students from around the world. We are currently seeking reliable and nurturing families to host international high school students to attend La Jolla Country Day School starting in Fall 2015. Most of the students come from China and are between the ages of 15 and 17. They are proficient in English, are highly motivated to succeed during their studies in the Upper School and hope to continue their education at top-notch colleges and universities in the United States. There are several benefits to being a host family with International Education Management. IEM’s Homestay Program offers families an amazing opportunity to inspire a child and develop a stronger cultural awareness and appreciation. As you open your heart and your home to an exceptional young global citizen from another country, you are afforded a priceless opportunity to share your culture, and experience a new culture right in your home. The long-term commitment of an academic year also allows time to forge meaningful and lasting relationships with your student. IEM understands the

Opening your home to an international high school exchange student can bring benefits on both sides. International Education Management is seeking host families for Chinese high school students who will attend La Jolla Country Day School starting this fall. Courtesy photo time and dedication that goes into hosting a student, so host families receive a monthly compensation of $1,000. The compensation is paid per student and is meant to help cover additional expenses including groceries, utilities and gas. IEM also provides 24/7 support to guide our host families throughout the experience. We maintain constant contact with you, your student, and your student’s native parents in order to help create the best homestay experience possible for you, your family and your student. Living with an American family is integral to the success of the international student’s stay. “The student benefits from total immersion in an English-speaking environment,” says Andrea Gentry, Student Services Coordinator at International Education Management. “But the benefits go beyond learning English. The student is also learning to live in America. There is no better way to learn the subtleties of a society than by experiencing them firsthand in the microcosm of a family.” Families who would like to learn more about opening their homes to an international student may contact IEM at 888-505-8941, ext 315, or via email at homestay@ieducationm.com. Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers.

Solana Beach artist draws on experience to teach therapeutic classes

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KRISTINA HOUCK As a child, Joel Harris turned to art when he was in the hospital. Today, the Solana Beach artist uses art to help children and adults throughout San Diego County. “Now I’m working in hospitals and giving people hope,” he said. For nearly a decade, Harris has volunteered at local community centers, libraries and hospitals, using art to help others through his nonprofit, The Art of Healing Heroes. “I haven’t made one penny in 10 years,” Harris said with a smile. “I do it all for free.” With a packed schedule, Harris has a pencil in hand most days. On Mondays, he teaches therapeutic drawing to patients who have had strokes and traumatic brain injuries, as well as to Wounded Warriors at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas. On Wednesdays, he works with specialneeds children and adults at North Coast Fellowship in Solana Beach. Harris brings their artwork to his patients at the VA Medical Center in La Jolla, where he offers bedside therapeutic drawing lessons on Fridays for paraplegics and quadriplegics, and patients with spinal cord injuries at the medical center. Harris teaches photorealistic drawing classes to professional artists on Saturdays at the Carmel Valley Library. He ends his busy week at the Carmel Valley Recreation Center, where he teaches therapeutic draw-

ing on Sundays to children with Down syndrome. “I’m doing God’s work,” Harris said. “He gave me the ability to draw. I can’t charge to do this.” A religious man, Harris believes everything happens for a reason. “There have been a few instances in my life that looked like disasters, but there are reasons for all of this,” he said. Originally from Chicago, Harris had polio as a child and was paralyzed when he was 3 years old. Growing up on a gurney in a hospital, however, gave him time to develop his artistic skills. “By being crippled when I was a kid and being steered to learn how to draw, I realize now, I’m doing the work I am supposed to be doing,” Harris said. “This is my purpose.” Although initially self-taught, Harris earned a bachelor of fine arts at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He went on to work as a professional artist with credits that include greeting cards, magazines and television — even artwork for NASA astronaut training materials. Wanting to help brain-injured solders returning home, Harris, in 2006, developed a therapeutic visual arts program for veterans and launched The Art of Healing Heroes. Drawing, he said, helps soldiers be present. “I never got to serve, so I get to serve the people who’ve served me,” Harris said.

Left: Therapeutic drawing with young students.

Since then, the nonprofit has expanded its services, offering therapeutic drawing workshops to children and adults with mental and physical disabilities. His experience has led to two unpublished books. “The Journal of Therapeutic Drawing” details how to use art therapy with different types of patients.

Inspired by his experience with the VA San Diego Healthcare System, Harris also created “The American Coloring Book,” a patriotic bilingual coloring book that he hopes will one day be distributed at VA hospitals across the region, and even across the country. Harris hopes to grow The Art of Healing Heroes, expanding programs and offering new ones. Recently, he began featuring some of the artwork made in his classes on his website. Donations for prints of the pieces will help create a special-needs arts company to generate revenue for all, he said. “I’m so fortunate to be able, through these things, to do the things that really help people,” he said. “It not only helps others, but it makes me be the best that I can be.” For more about The Art of Healing Heroes, visit www.theartofhealingheroes. org.

Art historian, Dr. James Grebl will explore an intriguing array of art history tales, often revealing astonishing episodes of lust, greed, crime, misadventure and tragedy. Every work of art has a similar history of past ownership and events affecting its condition, appearance and accessibility, which often reads like a detective story.

The largest definitive mid-career survey of the work of celebrated American artist Nicole Eisenman to date, Dear Nemesis, Nicole Eisenman 1993-2013 includes more than 120 works, charting the development of Eisenman’s practice across painting, printmaking, and drawing from the 1990s to the present.

Pinter’s ‘Betrayal’ starts run June 3 at North Coast Repertory Theatre

Left: “Glass Wave” by Donna Rebecca Schichler (above) of Del Mar. The Encinitas Library will feature her work in June.

‘Liquid Light’ exhibit features Del Mar artist Curious drivers and pedestrians walking in downtown Encinitas watched the progress last fall as local artist Donna Rebecca Schichler painted the three transformer boxes along the sidewalk in in front of Whole Foods Market, on South Coast Highway 101. Little by little, she transformed the utilitarian boxes into a fanciful underwater seascape for all to enjoy. Inspired by her coastal surroundings, Schichler creates artwork that celebrates the beauty of San Diego’s North County. In June, the Encinitas Library Gallery will feature “Liquid Light,” an exclusive exhibit of Schichler’s innovative work. The exhibit includes her collection of textured art, which is inspired by patterns in nature. Schichler creates each piece using a combination of media, including digital tools, paint, photography, sea fans, leaves and recycled glass. A clear resin finish gives each work a liquid luster. The “Liquid Light” exhibit opening reception will be from 1-4 p.m. June 6 at the Encinitas Library Gallery, 540 Cornish Drive. The free exhibit is on display through June. A native of Rochester, N.Y., Schichler’s love for the ocean drew her to Southern California. She moved to Cardiff in 2011 to work as a 3D motion graphics designer at Multimedia Graphic Network in Cardiff. Today, she lives in Del Mar and works as an independent artist and designer. She holds a master of fine arts degree in computer graphics design from Rochester Institute of Technology. She is a graduate of the University of Miami, where she studied digital media and studio art. Visit www.DonnaRebecca.com.

Master playwright Harold Pinter explores the shifting balance of power within a love triangle in “Betrayal,” presented starting June 3 at North Coast Repertory Theatre. Filled with taut drama and deception, the story unfolds in reverse chronology as the audience takes this treacherous journey with characters who are compelling and brimming with human frailty. Passionate, explosive and surprisingly funny, “Betrayal” is considered one of Pinter’s most innovative and influential works, one that is certain to provoke lively discussion long after the curtain falls. Frank Corrado directs a stellar cast: Richard Baird, Jeffrey Fracé, Carla Harting and Pinter’s “Betrayal” unfolds in reverse chronology to explore the shifting balance of power in a love triangle. Benjamin Cole. “Betrayal” previews begin June 3. Opening night at 8 p.m. June 6 includes a post-show reception. There will be a special talkback on June 12, with the cast and artistic director.

NC Rep premieres one-act plays for DMF First Thursdays subscribers CV Library hosts author Fiske on May 26 The Cultural Arts Committee of the Del Mar Foundation presented staged readings of two one-act plays for its recent First Thursdays presentation at the Del Mar Powerhouse. Actors from North Coast Repertory Theater brought to life George Bernard Shaw’s “Overruled,” a play satirizing the matrimonial morals of the turn-of-the-century English upper class. The second play, “The Swan Song,” by Anton Chekhov, deals with the vagaries of aging, with the lesson that age is not a number but an attitude. After the performances, the actors and directors treated the audience to a “talk-back” segment of questions and answers, giving the audience a backstage perspective on the plays. North Coast Repertory is a nonprofit offering award-winning performances year-round to more than 40,000 people in an intimate setting. It also involves thousands of young people each year in the Theatre School at North Coast Rep’s education and outreach programs. The Cultural Arts Committee of the Del Mar Foundation is dedicated to bringing a wide variety of concerts, lectures, and other performances to the community of Del Mar. Its flagship program, the First Thursdays subscription series, offers world-class performances every first Thursday between September and June. Also, non-subscription performances are offered with tickets available to the general public. Visit www.delmarfoundation.org and add your name to the mailing list to receive information on upcoming concerts and events.

The Pei Family Audrey Song and Soyoung Lee

Because having the conﬁdence and peace of mind of accreditation is important. So, let’s talk. La Vida Del Mar is accredited by CARF International. It’s an independent organization that sets exceedingly high standards for care and service. It’s a lot like an accreditation for a hospital or college. Or a ﬁve-star rating for a hotel. But like most things in life, you have to see it to believe it. So, let’s talk some more at a complimentary lunch and tour. Please call 858.345.2521 to schedule.

SPONSORED COLUMNS DR. VAN CHENG San Diego Vein Institute 760.994.9263

How to get Smoother, Younger Looking Hands and Arms Americans spend billions of dollars each year on anti-aging solutions, including creams and other topical products along with expensive invasive surgeries. And while much of the focus is the face and neck, one of the biggest places we show our age is in our hands. But what most people

don’t know is that there is a painless, noninvasive procedure called Sclerotherapy that can leave hands and arms looking smooth and youthful. What is Sclerotherapy? Sclerotherapy is a non-surgical procedure that involves an injection of a drug solution that causes a blood vessel to collapse. Once this vessel collapses, it can no longer hold blood and then shrinks and disappears. When hearing this explanation, many people ask: “Don’t I need those veins?” But the anatomy of the arms and hands is similar to that of the legs and feet, in that the superﬁcial veins (the ones seen just under the skin) are not essential to the cardiovascular system. There is a rich

network of deep veins that can more than adequately do the job of carrying blood to and from the heart. When treating hand and arm veins, however, it’s important to leave at least one superficial vein for future use with intravenous medications. What are the benefits? The benefits of this treatment are many. Sclerotherapy is a relatively quick procedure that usually takes 20-30 minutes, and does not require you to go to a hospital. The procedure also does not require any anesthesia, and it is virtually painless. A compression glove or wrap is used after treatment, but otherwise, you are able to return immediately to your regular daily activities. In fact, most patients have no trouble driving themselves home.

The best beneﬁt is that after treatment, there is no scarring, and you are left with smoother, more beautiful younger looking hands and arms. What are the risks? There are, essentially, no real risks or side effects with this procedure. Oftentimes with leg treatment, there can be a darkening of the skin. But this does not occur in the hands. There may be some mild swelling and tenderness in the treated areas, but this resolves itself quickly. If you want to further discuss what Sclerotherapy may be able to do for your hands and arms, please don’t hesitate to contact our ofﬁces at 760-944-9263 or visit us at www.sdveininstitute.com.

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. The law requires that information about trustee sale postponements be made available to you and to the public, as a courtesy to those not present at the sale. If you wish to learn whether your sale date has been postponed, and, if applicable, the rescheduled time and date for the sale of this property, you may call 714-573-1965 for information regarding the trustee’s sale or visit this Internet Web site http://www.qualityloan.com , using the file number assigned to this foreclosure by the Trustee: CA-14-641466-RY . Information about postponements that are very short in duration or that occur close in time to the scheduled sale may not immediately be reflected in the telephone information or on the Internet Web site. The best way

to verify postponement information is to attend the scheduled sale. The undersigned Trustee disclaims any liability for any incorrectness of the property address or other common designation, if any, shown herein. If no street address or other common designation is shown, directions to the location of the property may be obtained by sending a written request to the beneficiary within 10 days of the date of first publication of this Notice of Sale. If the Trustee is unable to convey title for any reason, the successful bidder’s sole and exclusive remedy shall be the return of monies paid to the Trustee, and the successful bidder shall have no further recourse. If the sale is set aside for any reason, the Purchaser at the sale shall be entitled only to a return of the deposit paid. The Purchaser shall have no further recourse against the Mortgagor, the Mortgagee, or the Mortgagee’s Attorney. If you have previously been discharged through bankruptcy, you may have been released of personal liability for this loan in which case this letter is intended to exercise the note holders right’s against the real property only. As required by law, you are hereby notified that a negative credit report reflecting on your credit record may be submitted to a credit report agency if you fail to fulfill the terms of your credit obligations.

Hummus at center of culinary controversy

COMING SOON!

New listings from Carmel Valley to Park Village in Rancho Penasquitos. Please call for details!

KITCHEN SHRINK CATHERINE KAUFMAN A centuries-old Middle Eastern concoction artfully blending chickpeas, tahini (sesame paste), fresh lemon juice, garlic and olive oil has not only been the cornerstone of that region’s cuisine (and a source of great pride), but the subject of a renowned documentary film (“Make Hummus Not War”), the cause of a culinary controversy, an international boycott, and now gustatory rock star of American pop culture, featured in various TV series and food blogs devoted entirely to the dish. Here’s why this dip is so hot for National Hummus Day (May 15) and always. In the beginning ... The chickpea (aka the garbanzo bean, gram or Egyptian pea) is a legume that has been cultivated for thousands of years in the ancient Mediterranean basin, Middle East and India. One of the earliest crops of Mesopotamia, food historians have also noted that the chickpea possibly flourished in the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, and was enjoyed as a street food of ancient Rome and Palestine. As for the exact origin of hummus, composed primarily of the noble chickpea, while many nations lay a solid claim to its creation, there has not been a definitive answer. Although Greek philosophers Plato and Socrates wrote about the nutritional boons of hummus, recipes have also been found in early cookbooks throughout the lands, along with a Biblical reference to a crude version. Hummus for your health This creamy, dreamy spreadable dish bursting with sweet and savory flavors is packed with fiber and folate, along with immuneboosting vitamin C, bodybalancing potassium, iron to pump up red blood cell production, and a load of B-6s to put stress on the skids and to dial up brain power. The mighty sesame seed,

with a rich store of amino acid methionine, beautifully complements the proteins contained in chickpeas. When hummus is eaten with a grain, such as pita bread or bulgur wheat, this combo provides a complete protein source.

The spread of ethnic conflict Perhaps the political controversy surrounding hummus stems from the etymology of the word, Arabic in origin, which translates to “chickpea.” Seven years ago, the Association of Lebanese Industrialists launched a petition to the Ministry of Economy & Trade to seek protective status for hummus from the European Commission, as a uniquely Lebanese food. Possibly prompted by Israel’s lucrative export market of hummus (Sabra products), the organization claimed its political rival has now usurped the national dish of Lebanon. A year later, the two nations found a nonviolent form of conflict resolution by a hummus competition to build the biggest bowl. Israel concocted a batch of 9,000 pounds, while Lebanon out-hummussed it by roughly 14,000 pounds. (The Guinness World Record for the largest dish of hummus was prepared May 2010 by 300 cooks in al-Fanar, a Lebanese village. The behemoth bowl weighed around 23,000 pounds and was made from eight tons of boiled chickpeas, two tons each of tahini and lemon juice, along with 154 pounds of olive oil.) A double-duty dip Hummus is an equally delightful dish for vegans and vegetarians, gluten-intolerants, carnivores, pescavores and pollitarians. Its versatility and universal appeal make it adaptable for light or hearty meals, snacks and sweet treats. For breakfast, spread roasted pepper or eggplant hummus on whole-wheat bagels, or avocado hummus on flat breads topped with braised kale and a poached egg. For lunch, prepare Asian-style wraps or sushi with edamame hummus; a sampler or meze platter with assorted hummus flavors, soft Mediterranean cheeses, baba ganoush, and pickled vegetables. For dinner, slather hummus on chicken or wild-caught salmon and roast to a crispy crunch; blend it into your favorite pasta dish or mashed potatoes. For your just desserts, indulge in a bowl of hummus-flavored gelatos inspired by Israeli ice cream makers. ROASTED GARLIC HUMMUS 4 garlic cloves 4 cups chickpeas, canned (drained, skins removed) or raw (soaked overnight, then covered in spring water with teaspoon of Hummus is nutritious, baking soda; boil and delicious and versatile. simmer until tender, Photo courtesy of Chef about 90 minutes; Jonathan Sudar drained, skins removed) 1 1/2 cups tahini Juice from one lemon Sea salt and black pepper to taste 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil Method: Place garlic in ovenproof dish.
