BY KAREN BILLING Engaging the community has been a big part of the new One Paseo, inviting residents to step up to the drawing board and help create a mixed-use project they can live with.

The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board

hosted a community workshop on the new One Paseo project, Kilroy’s second such workshop, on Aug. 19 at the Del Mar Marriott.

While concerns about traffic and bulk and scale remain for some residents, a big compliment to Kilroy’s improved outreach was

scrawled on one of the many sheets of paper around the hotel ballroom: “fabulous level of cooperation and thoughtful conscientious consideration of needs all the way around.”

In their complete “project reset,” Kilroy representatives said they want to pres-

Carmel Del Mar students went back to school on Aug. 24 to a refreshed school campus.

Over the summer, the school underwent a partial modernization and several classrooms were converted to modern learning studios, complete with flexible furnishings that replace traditional rows of desks and chairs. Additional classrooms got a new look after being damaged by the summer’s rain. The Del Mar Union School District’s pilot modern learning studios are also at Sage Canyon School this year.

ent new concepts to stimulate comments and discussion and find out what residents want for the mixeduse development.

“This project is your project,” said Jamas Gwilliam, Kilroy vice president.

“If we all work together from here on in on communication, recognizing that some compromises

will have to be made along the way, we can end up with a project that’s good for the entire community.”

Carmel Valley Planning Board member Shreya Sasaki said she was glad to see the turnout of nearly 200 people, but she wished that it was more representative of Carmel Valley’s many diSee ONE PASEO, page 26

NCTD starts bridge repairs; double-track project under consideration by rail agency

BY KRISTINA HOUCK The North County Transit District recently began repairs to the railroad bridge over the San Dieguito Lagoon and River at North Beach in Del Mar. The project, which kicked off July 27, will help repair natural damage that is caused by scouring, a process by which currents progressively remove sediment from around the pilings at the base of the bridge.

According to NCTD’s construction notice, the work involves excavating portions of the channel and backfilling it with larger rocks called riprap in order to armor the bottom of the channel surrounding the bridge pilings.

Once the riprap has been installed, native sand and silt will be used to cover the rocks and void spaces.

Although some community members have questioned whether the construction is related to the proposed San Dieguito Double Track and Special Events Platform project, representatives from the San Diego Association of Governments have confirmed that the projects are not connected.

If approved, the double-track project would add a one-mile stretch of second main track between Del Mar and Solana Beach, replace the nearly 100-year-old wooden trestle rail bridge over the San Dieguito River, and add a special-events rail platform on the west side of the fairSee NCTD, page 26

Santa Fe district set to resume citations, fines for water-use violations • Residents urge board to sue Sacramento over mandatory cuts

BY JOE TASH The Santa Fe Irrigation District will resume citing and fining customers for violating mandatory water-use restrictions on Aug. 31, after coming up with updated citation forms, appeals procedures and methods of tracking violations.

The district adopted the mandatory water-use restric-

tions — including a twiceper-week limit on outdoor landscape watering — earlier this year, when the state ordered it to cut its water use by 36 percent in response to the ongoing drought.

Under the district’s rules, first-time violators will receive a warning letter, while successive additional violations within a one-year peri-

od will result in fines of $250, $500 and $1,000. Among the most common violations are watering on prohibited days, or irrigation runoff from leaking or improperly adjusted sprinklers.

Last month, the district temporarily stopped issuing citations while the new procedures were developed. The planned resumption of cita-

tions and fines was reported at the district’s board of directors meeting on Aug. 20.

A number of drought-related topics were discussed at the meeting, including a proposal by district staff to increase the administrative fee to $100 from the current $50 for customers who request a variance from the district’s water-use restrictions or monthly water allocations.

However, the board de-

cided to keep the variance fee at $50, and it also declined to impose a $250 fee for those seeking an agricultural exemption from the new water allocation policy, which allows each customer a set amount of water for indoor use, while requiring steep cuts in outdoor watering.

Several members of the public also urged the board to See WATER, page 26

Petition circulates against artificial turf in two Carmel Valley parks

BY KAREN BILLING Some Carmel Valley residents fear that fake grass could pose real problems.

In light of the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board approving the installation of artificial turf at Carmel Valley and Ocean Air Community Parks, Dr. Emily Engel, a neurologist at the Scripps Clinic and mother of two boys at Ocean Air School, has gathered 177 signatures to oppose placement of the turf. “There are multiple health concerns that really alarm me,� Engel said.

She said the speculation about toxin exposure in artificial turf hasn’t been definitively proven, but there is enough research that people can be exposed to lead and other toxic chemicals for the city to pause on the installation. As a neurologist, she said she has never dealt with the effects of artificial turf directly, but she does see toxin-induced neurological problems and they’re not treatable. She wants to protect the community’s kids. “It’s a dirty carpet,� Engel said of the turf, noting it can harbor MRSA (methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus) and growing bacteria, especially in public parks. “It has to be cleaned regularly with water and anti-microbial soaps, and we know antibiotic exposure can lead to antibiotic resistance,� Engel said. “All of that goes into the surrounding ecosystem, which is bad for the environment.�

Engel said the turf also gets very hot in direct sunlight and can cause burns. Some research suggests the turf makes athletes

more vulnerable to injuries.

She also has big concerns about the crumb rubber granules that are added to the synthetic grass carpet to hold it in place.

The rubber is composed of ground-up old tires containing toxins, lead and other dangerous chemicals that can be easily inhaled, absorbed or eaten. “There is enough negative information; it’s really terrible. It shouldn’t happen at all,� Engel said.

In June, the planning board approved the upgrades at the two parks using Facilities Benefit Assessment funds. The Carmel Valley project is estimated at $3.6 million for the two upper fields; the proposed project at Ocean Air is estimated at $ 5.7 million.

The Carmel Valley Recreation Council had made the recommendation for artificial turf, as it provides a more consistent and level playing surface that does not require irrigation, fertilization or landscaping. Turf also provides year-round use with no down time for renovation and can support heavier use, allowing for additional programming at two of the area’s busiest parks.

Kathryn Ruiz, city parks and recreation department deputy director, said they have received feedback similar to Engel’s from other area families regarding their concerns.

Ruiz said the desire to replace natural turf with synthetic turf has been longstanding by many athletic user groups as well as the recreation council. It was not solely in response to drought-related irrigation restrictions, Ruiz said, although it is a beneficial choice given the drought conditions.

Residents are expressing concerns about replacing grass with turf at Ocean Air Community Park. Photo by Karen Billing The recommendation to spend the funds must be approved by the City Council and will probably come before them for consideration in the fall. Upon council approval, design and construction will take about four years, with an estimated completion date of late 2019. “All of the products we use in our facilities undergo rigorous review and testing, and we would never place a material that was conclusively found to be harmful in our parks,�

Ruiz said.

Ruiz said the synthetic turf installed in city parks would meet or exceed federal, state and local health requirements. “The city holds public safety paramount when considering the type and quality of the equipment it selects for all city facilities,� she said, noting that per the Consultant’s Guide to Park Design and Development, manufacturers are

required to fully disclose all materials used and provide complete information on all potential toxins.

In regard to the crumb rubber, a city report noted that alternative infill materials are being developed, such as coconut fiber and cork or resin-coated silica sand. The newer materials show promise in addressing some concerns associated with crumb rubber infill, and the parks and recreation department will continue to evaluate those materials as they are developed and tested.

All three Carmel Valley high schools — Torrey Pines, Canyon Crest Academy and Cathedral Catholic — have artificial turf fields.

Engel remains unconvinced that the turf is the best option for the community. “Even if they use a ‘healthier version,’ it’s still not right,� she said. “I don’t feel like they are listening to the concerns of the community.�

Del Mar man diagnosed with West Nile virus

SB Council disbands safety commission

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A 73-year-old Del Mar man was confirmed Aug. 24 as the year’s first human case of West Nile virus in the San Diego region.

The man was admitted to a hospital Aug. 2 with symptoms of encephalitis — a brain inflammation that can be caused by viral or bacterial infection — and remains hospitalized, according to the county Health and Human Services Agency. The agency said testing by a state lab confirmed that he has WNV. Last year, 11 local WNV cases were diagnosed, and two of the patients died.

Health officials said that around 80 percent of those with WNV — which is spread by mosquitoes — don’t get symptoms, while the remainder will have headaches, fever, nausea, fatigue, a skin rash or swollen glands.

Around 1 in 150 cases is life-threatening, and the risk goes up for patients over age 50, according to the HHSA. “The late summer is when we expect West Nile virus to peak, and there were cases diagnosed through October last year, so people need to protect themselves from this potentially deadly disease,” said Dr. Wilma Wooten, the county public health officer.

The best protection is to empty areas of standing water where mosquitoes breed, staying indoors at dusk and dawn when the insects are most active, and wearing long sleeves and pants or use repellent when outdoors.

County officials also urged residents to contact their vector control program when they find dead birds or green swimming pools, by calling 858-694-2888 or emailing vector@sdcounty.ca.gov.

So far this year, the county has collected 95 dead birds and 18 batches of mosquitoes that tested positive for West Nile virus. The totals for all of last year were 41 dead birds and six mosquito batches.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Despite protest from commissioners, the Solana Beach City Council decommissioned the city’s Public Safety Commission during its Aug. 25 meeting.

Established in 1998, the commission has acted in an advisory capacity to the council and city manager on matters pertaining to the creation, operation, maintenance, use management and control of crime and traffic safety programs. Although initially formed with 11 members, in 2008, the commission was cut to seven members serving in an advisory role regarding public safety.

When the council selected its annual appointments to citizen commissions in January, council members decided to appoint only commissioners who reapplied to the Public Safety Commission, resulting in two reappointments and three vacant positions. Since then, there have been four people on the commission: Thomas Alexander, Kristi Day, Bernhard Geierstanger and Lynn Salsberg.

At that time, the council also asked city staff to review the status of the commission and recommend whether to continue its operation.

According to staff’s review of past commission agendas, minutes and actions, the commission has focused primarily on statistical reports from the fire department, marine safety department and sheriff’s department, as well as updates from the city’s Traffic Technical Advisory Committee.

The majority of the items discussed by the commission have been informational, with some issues referred to staff or various public safety agencies as determined by the city manager. According to the staff report, in the past three years, the commission’s only action that resulted in a recommendation to the council was regarding the Santa Helena traffic calming project, which was reviewed by the commission in September 2013 and recommended for approval by the council.

Although two commissioners publicly urged the council to continue the commission, council members said that while they are appreciative of their services, the city’s resources are stretched. Another commissioner submitted a letter to the city also requesting the commission continue its operations.

As a member of the commission for the past five years, Day noted that the commission’s role is to advise the council, not take action.

“It seems like we don’t do anything, but really, we are more as a liaison between the community and (the city).”

Staff noted, however, that the role and activities of the commission are being met or could be met by other committees and planned public safety outreach efforts.

For example, the city’s Traffic Technical Advisory Committee — which includes representatives from city engineering, public works, code compliance and the sheriff’s department — discusses traffic safety and traffic calming projects and provides input and recomSee COMMISSION, page 26

New site approved for SB’s Carruth Cellars Students return to ‘cozy’ relocatable village

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Solana Beach’s Carruth Cellars will soon have a new home, after the City Council’s unanimous approval of the winery’s conditional use permit for on- and off-site alcohol sales.

Located in the heart of Cedros Design District at 320 S. Cedros Ave., Carruth Cellars will move down the street to 118 S. Cedros Ave., where Antiques on Cedros was once located.

The 17,424-square-foot lot is developed, with a 10,828-square-foot multi-tenant commercial building. Carruth Cellars has proposed to improve and use the interior of a 4,982-square-foot space and 582 square feet of storage space for all wine production, tasting and retail sales activities.

A 4,922-square-foot furniture store and 342 square feet of storage space make up the rest of the building and will remain.

With the 4-0 vote, the council also approved adjusted hours of operation for the shop.

Councilman Mike Nichols was absent from the meeting.

The hours of operation are 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and 8 a.m. to 9 p.m. on Sunday, with wine tastings and retail store hours from noon to 9 p.m. daily. Once relocated, the winery will be open 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 7 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

Owner Adam Carruth submitted signatures from 56 residents in support of the winery’s relocation. He obtained the signatures during the Fiesta del Sol event in May in Solana Beach.

Two business and community members spoke in favor of the winery’s relocation during the meeting, while more than a dozen others submitted letters in support of the shop. “Over the past five years I’ve watched this guy work very hard in building his business,� said Solana Beach resident Ken DeCesari, who is also a small business owner. “He has provided a safe and responsible culture for all of us to congregate and enjoy each other’s company.�

Opened in 2010, Carruth Cellars is a winery with a retail shop and wine tasting space.

A North County native, Carruth started making wine while living in Wine Country in 1998. In 2006, his backyard wine making transitioned into Carruth Cellars, which initially operated out of Fifty Barrels, a collaborative winery in Oceanside. “It’s been an honor to be part of the business community and the actual residential community,� Carruth said.

About 2,000 community members are members of Carruth Cellars’ wine club, Carruth said. Under the Carruth Cellars label, the award-winning wines have been featured in more than 60 locations.

as Earl Warren campus undergoes construction

BY KAREN BILLING Earl Warren Middle School’s “Seahawk Village� welcomed students back to school on Aug. 25. The village of relocatable buildings will be Earl Warren students’ home for two years as the 61-year-old school undergoes a complete renovation.

The new beachy school campus is expected to be completed in fall 2017. “It’s hard to imagine that a relocatable village could turn out to be a cozy, stimulating, roomy and amazing facility,� said San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) trustee Joyce Dalessandro. “It’s so much fun to see that. It is just amazing what can be done with relocatables. The science lab is incredible. I think it’s going to be very successful.�

As part of the campus overhaul, there will also be some improvements to the Solana Beach branch of the San Diego County Library. In 2001, the branch became the first shareduse library facility with Earl Warren. Improvements to the shared library have been planned in cooperation with the county, city of Solana Beach and the Friends of the Solana Beach Library. “The partnership we have is really kind of phenomenal,� Dalessandro said, offering special kudos to the city of Solana Beach.

The county’s share of the costs for the library improvements is $400,000, and $200,000 in funding is available from the county’s Neighborhood Reinvestment Program. At the Aug. 20 meeting, the board authorized the district to apply for the funding.

Coastal Commission dedicates interpretive panel at lagoon to its founder

BY KRISTINA HOUCK The California Coastal Commission recently unveiled an interpretive panel honoring its founder, the late Peter Douglas, at a trail entrance overlooking the San Dieguito Lagoon off San Andres Drive in Solana Beach.

For more than a quarter century, Douglas fought to preserve the state’s 1,100-mile shoreline. He was the principal author of the grass-roots proposition that created the California Coastal Commission in 1972 and led to the subsequent Coastal Act in 1976.

Douglas later served as the executive director of the commission, a position he held from 1985 until he retired from his post in 2011 after his lung cancer diagnosis.

Douglas died in April 2012. He was 69. “He was a major influence in my life,� said Del Mar Councilman Dwight Worden.

Worden worked closely with Douglas when he served on the commission as a governor and president of the senate appointee.

Worden, who spoke at the Aug. 11 ceremony, recalled gathering signatures for Cali-

fornia Proposition 20, which passed in 1972 and established the commission. “He was much more than that wetlands,� said Worden, an attorney with a background in environmental, government and land-use law. “He really was a living, breathing example of how good government could be when it was done right.�

On a local level, Douglas also played an integral part in the restoration of the San Dieguito Lagoon, beginning with the designation of San Dieguito as the appropriate location for Southern California Edison’s mitigation measures to offset impacts from its San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station. “Peter held fast to his and our and other supporters’ convictions that the funding should be used to complete a viable wetland project in one place — San Dieguito,� remembered Trish Boaz, executive director of the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy. “It was at this famous Coastal Commission meeting that lasted past midnight that the commission approved the San Dieguito wetlands project — and therefore very fit-

More than 40 people attended the dedication ceremony. Speakers included Boaz and Worden, as well as Don Mosier, Del Mar councilman and chairman of the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority board of directors; Peter Shapiro, San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy president; Adam Birnbaum, Del Mar planning manager; Serge Dedina, Imperial Beach mayor and executive director of Wildcoast; Susan Hansch, Coastal Commission chief deputy director; Diane Coombs, former executive director of the JPA; and Jacqueline Winterer, Friends of the San Dieguito River Valley vice president.

Two area high schools among those cited by Newsweek as nation’s top 500

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Six high schools in San Diego County were included in a list of the top 500 high schools in the country released today by Newsweek.

The San Diego contingent was led by River Valley Charter High School of Lakeside, which ranked 94th in the country, helped by a 100 percent graduation rate. All of the school’s graduates were headed for college, according to Newsweek data.

Following in order were Westview High, near Rancho

Penasquitos, 97th; Canyon Crest Academy, Carmel Valley, 117th; Del Norte High School, 4S Ranch, 209th; Torrey Pines High School, Carmel Valley, 336th; and Classical Academy, Escondido, 493rd.

The top high school in the country was Thomas Jefferson High of Alexandria, Va., where all the students graduated and nearly all went to college. Students at the school posted an eye-popping average Scholastic Aptitude Test score of 2,182.

The magazine also rated high schools based on enroll-

ment in advanced placement courses, student retention and counselor-to-student ratio.

In a separate list of the top 500 high schools that was adjusted for poverty rates, Kearny High in Kearny Mesa ranked 89th, Patrick Henry in San Carlos was 169th, Westview was 238th, Del Norte 384th, and Canyon Crest 442nd.

The top high school nationally when adjusted for poverty levels was Success Academy in Cedar City, Utah, according to Newsweek.

New Solana Vista principal decided early to pursue education career

BY KRISTINA HOUCK It’s been an exciting year for Joel Tapia.

He started a doctorate program, got married and recently learned he and his wife are expecting their first child.

Tapia was also appointed as the new principal of Solana Vista School.

“It’s an exciting change, but at the same time, it’s not a drastic change,” Tapia said about his new position.

“There’s already so much good happening here.”

Tapia replaced Lisa Platt, who retired at the end of the 2014-15 school year.

She worked for the Solana Beach School District for 10 years.

“Principal Platt was a great leader,” Tapia said.

“She really established a strong sense of community.”

Tapia didn’t officially join the district until the start of July, but he wasted no time becoming a part of the community.

With more than 12 years of education experience, Tapia comes to Solana Beach from Chula Vista Elementary School District, where he served as an elementary school principal since 2011.

Joel Tapia is having an eventful year, which includes his appointment as principal of Solana Vista School. Photo

by Kristina Houck To prepare for his new position at Solana Vista, Tapia reached out to leaders of Solana Beach’s Eden Gardens community, also known as La Colonia. La Colonia is a small but historical neighborhood that’s largely Latino.

“I bring a very important expertise that is needed here,” he said.

Although born in San Jose, Tapia grew up speaking Spanish. He didn’t learn English until he started elementary school.

Tapia’s parents are from Mexico. His father, who studied industrial engineering in his native country, landed a job in San Jose after he married Tapia’s mother. The family relocated to Chula Vista when Tapia was 8 years old.

“I only spoke Spanish. I didn’t have friends,” Tapia recalled. “When I started school, it was like a new world to me. I didn’t speak any English, and I totally experienced the shock of coming to school as an English learner. That was formative. It was a learning experience for me.”

About 20-25 percent of the students at Solana Vista are English learners, Tapia said.

Since starting his new role as principal, Tapia has met with Manny Aguilar, president and board chairman of the La Colonia de Eden Gardens Foundation, to talk about how the school and greater community can ensure that all students excel. He’s also since talked with other representatives of the foundation and other local organizations, including the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito and Casa de Amistad.

“So many people are helping our needy families and students,” Tapia said. “We’re trying to ensure we’re synchronizing our services and the communication is really clear. Systemically, we’re all connected.”

Tapia decided he wanted to pursue a career in education early on.

“It just kind of fit for me,” he said.

After graduating from high school, Tapia earned his associate degree at Southwestern College. Two years later, he received a bachelor’s degree in liberal studies from San Diego State University. With a goal to become a bilingual teacher, Tapia, who studied in Spain, also completed the bilingual cross-cultural language and academic development credential at SDSU. Tapia started teaching in Chula Vista soon after, landing his first job at a charter school. After two years, he continued his education at SDSU, earning a master’s degree in elementary curriculum and instruction, followed by a credential in administrative services and another master’s in educational leadership.

While continuing his education, Tapia

began his 12-year stint with the Chula Vista Elementary School District, starting as a teacher of Karl H. Kellogg Elementary School for about five years. He later became project coordinator of Otay Elementary School, associate principal of Heritage Elementary School, and finally, principal of Burton C. Tiffany Elementary School.

“Any success I can claim to is because of the people who helped me along the way,” said Tapia, who thanked his mentors, including Gloria Ciriza, former principal of Heritage and now executive director of curriculum and instruction at Chula Vista Elementary School District.

Appreciative of his past, Tapia is also excited about his future.

“I’m bringing some experience,” he said, noting that Burton C. Tiffany Elementary School was tied for second in academics of the district’s 46 schools. “The teachers really worked hard.

“Here in the Solana Beach School District, the leaders and the changes are coming from the bottom up,” he added. “The model here is teacher-driven. Teachers are empowered.”

Continuing the tradition, Tapia reached out to Solana Vista teachers from the start, encouraging them to share their ideas.

With just over 460 students, the transitional kindergarten through third-grade school has about 60 staff members, including roughly 30 teachers. To welcome the teachers back to school, he bought them reusable Starbucks cups filled with candy, pencils and a gift card.

“The teachers are so gracious,” Tapia See PRINCIPAL, page 26

Del Mar Highlands Uber program ends as of Sept. 1

BY KAREN BILLING Throughout July and August, Del Mar Highlands Town Center has run a successful promotion in collaboration with Uber, providing free rides up to $25 each way. The promotion will end at midnight Sept. 1.

The center’s original contract with Uber for $100,000 was exceeded in under three weeks. At one month into the promotion, use of the program had grown exponentially, with nearly 15,000 rides taken at a cost of $213,000. While this quickly surpassed the center’s commitment, the response was so successful that the promotion was extended through August.

The center has acknowledged that parking can be a challenge, especially as a portion of the site is under construction. The center is in the midst of building a new parking structure and 90,000 square feet of additional retail space. The renovations are expected to be complete in summer 2016.

Del Mar Highlands encourages visitors to continue to use Uber to get to and from the center, as well as taking advantage of services such as its curbside shuttle, 20-minute parking stalls, curbside restaurant pick-up stalls and valet parking.

The promotion is available until Sept. 1 to anyone with an active Uber account. To set up an account, visit uber.com/GO/DMHTC or download the free app on your smartphone.

Any new customer who signs up for Uber using the promo code “DMHTC” will automatically receive a free ride up to $20 anywhere in the U.S., independent of the promotion.

study ways to cope with climate change

BY GARY ROBBINS, SPECIAL TO THE DEL MAR TIMES, CARMEL VALLEY NEWS, SOLANA BEACH SUN A Del Mar energy executive gave UC San Diego $5 million on Monday, Aug. 24, to help find ways to cope with the harmful impacts of the world’s changing climate.

Richard Hertzberg and his wife, Carol, used the money to create the Center for Climate Change Impacts and Adaptation at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Richard Hertzberg, president of ENPEX Corp., and his Oceanography, a pioneer in wife, Carol, donated $5 million to UC San Diego to help find ways to cope with the effects of climate change. — climate change research.

The center will conduct Nelvin C. Cepeda studies that are meant to help policymakers mitigate such problems as rising sea levels, which can displace coastal dwellers and destroy agriculture.

“Our models say that the seas will rise. When, where, what will we do about it?” said Hertzberg, 69, president of ENPEX Corp., a private company that develops various forms of energy, from gas and electric to steam and alternative energy sources.

He expressed special concern about California, saying, “Even cities like San Diego may have to reroute sewage plants, change piping, change the location of critical infrastructure, whether it be power plants refineries ...

“Carol and I felt that it’s important to not only understand what’s happening — but to begin to put our mind to work to mitigate these changes.”

Part of their $5 million gift will go to underwrite an endowed professorship, which will help Scripps recruit or retain a top researcher.

Margaret Leinen, the director of Scripps, said that the new center “will be interdisciplinary. It will bring together engineers who study sea level rise and biologists who are trying to understand how these changes will affect agriculture. We’ll also have people in economics, social science and law. This center will be a nexus for studying how to adapt to climate change.”

The participants will include Falk Feddersen, a coastal physical oceanographer at Scripps.

“Sea level isn’t going to be the worst of what happens,” Feddersen said. “It’s the storms — particularly El Nino-winter storms. They create a whole bunch of surge, which will create the potential for erosion and flooding. Places like Imperial Beach, Mission Beach, all the cliffs of Solana Beach and Encinitas, are going to be impacted.

“The new center will facilitate the work Scripps has been doing in developing advanced flooding models. It also is going to liaison us with the social scientists and engineers who know how to design and build structures that can be resilient.”

Hertzberg, who worked as an energy official in the Ford and Carter administrations, said he decided to donate to Scripps because of its long history in climate change research.

One of the institute’s former directors, Roger Revelle, was known as “the father of the greenhouse effect” because of his insights about climate change. The late Scripps geochemist Charles Keeling established a long-term record of rising carbon levels that is still maintained today. The rising levels — known as the Keeling Curve — is a focal point of climate research.

More recently, Scripps atmospheric scientist Veerabhadran Ramanathan helped shaped Pope Francis’ thinking on climate change in the encyclical he issued earlier this year. The Pope is expected to share his concerns about climate change when he visits the United States in September.

And other Scripps scientists are studying a range of issues related to climate change, from ocean acidification — reduced pH levels in the ocean over time — to regional weather patterns around the world.

“We do not wait — we have leadership right here,” said Cong. Scott Peters, D-San Diego, on Monday, praising the depth and quality of Scripps’ research.

When a handful of locals and their beach-loving pups waded into the waves for Helen Woodward Animal Center’s first Surf Dog Surf-A-Thon in 2005, no one would have guessed that the canines catching those waves were also launching the beginning of a “bone-afied” athletic competition that would catch on across the world.

A decade later, “dogs on surfboards” has become a platform to raise life-saving funds and awareness for orphan pets at similar events worldwide. The 10th annual Surf Dog SurfA-Thon, presented by Blue Buffalo, will take place from 8 a.m.-2 p.m. Sept. 13 at Dog Beach Del Mar. To mark this milestone Helen Woodward Animal Center will induct multiple canine surf legends into the Surf Dog Hall of Fame.

The day won’t be all nostalgia and ceremony, though. Salty sea-dogs and their loving families will enjoy live beach tunes, a surprise 10th anniversary commemorative sand sculpture from San Diego Sand Castles, and regular event favorites including the Beach Bum & Bikini Babe Canine Costume Contest, more than 70 vendor booths with top brands of pet products and surf gear; and a special Kid’s Activity area.

CCA grads writing own script for success with gamer YouTube channel

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although local natives Tyler Baron and Ryan Kroner grew up playing video games, they never thought they would do so for a living. But as their gamer-geared YouTube channel Treesicle gains attention, that’s exactly what they are doing.

“Every day I wake up and work on something I love doing,” Baron said. “It’s just really great.”

Baron, 23, and Kroner, 22, met when they were kindergarteners. They remember playing old Pokémon games on their handheld Game Boy systems during sleepovers.

“We were supposed to be asleep, but instead we’d be hiding in my closet with the light on, playing Pokémon,” Baron recalled.

After graduating from Canyon Crest Academy, the duo went on to study at UC Santa Barbara, where Baron earned a bachelor’s degree in history with a minor in education and Kroner earned a bachelor’s in computer science in 2014.

With a love of video games, they created a YouTube channel called Treesicle with their college roommates Grant Ball and Kevin Cornea.

Launched in January 2014, Treesicle offers a variety of video game-focused content.

From informational videos to funny podcasts, there’s something for all video game enthusiasts, casual fans and dedicated gamers alike.

The channel started off with the four friends capturing footage while they played video games. Baron was inspired to create such a channel because he has watched others play games on YouTube for years.

“I really liked it and I wanted to try doing it,” he said.

Although the videos garnered some views, they didn’t gain the attention the group had hoped for. Their oldest video, for instance, was published a year ago, yet has only 1,100 views.

“We decided to do it and we were horrible at it,” Baron said with a laugh.

Since the channel’s early days, the foursome has worked hard to come up with original and interesting content.

The channel’s main program is called “The Story You Never Knew.” With new episodes every other Thursday, the show offers an in-depth and comedic look at favorite video game characters, from Pac-Man to Mario.

The group has produced 32 such videos so far, with an analysis of Sonic the Hedgehog being the most popular. Published eight months ago, the video has been viewed more than 2.8 million times.

“The idea is to give the viewer the story they never knew — the backstory — in a very comedic and informative way,” Kroner said.

“We try to give an analysis that hasn’t been heard before,” Baron added. “But our main goal is entertainment.”

With fresh content uploaded weekly, the channel has captured an audience. To date, Treesicle has attracted 232,767 subscribers and nearly 21 million views.

“I like the fact that work entails messing around with my friends,” Kroner said. “Our meetings are us sitting on couches and basically talking or yelling at each other.”

“I enjoy working with three of my best friends,” Baron agreed.

Since graduating from UC Santa Barbara last year, all four have relocated to Sorrento Valley, where they work on the channel in their free time. It takes about 100 hours to pro-

“It’s a very time-intensive process,” Kroner said.

Added Baron, “People don’t realize how much actually goes into getting a video on the channel. There’s a lot of things that go into it even after the video’s already off the computer.”

Although a lot of time and effort goes into the channel, Treesicle is not their full-time job — although they hope it will be one day.

Kroner works at Qualcomm. Baron, who works in retail, noted that this month marks a major milestone for Treesicle, as he will actually earn more from the channel than from his day job. “We’re almost to the point where we can support ourselves off of it,” Baron said.

“This is something I’ve wanted to do for years and years. To have a dream and actually be able to do it is really, really cool.”

Beholder ‘breathtaking’ as she captures Grade I, $1 million TVG Pacific Classic

BY KELLEY CARLSON Beholder delivered a golden performance in the silver anniversary edition of the Grade I, $1 million TVG Pacific Classic on Saturday, Aug 22, at Del Mar. The 5-year-old mare, ridden by Gary Stevens, swept by the leaders on the final turn and powered home 8 1/4 lengths over her male rivals, becoming the first female to win the seaside oval’s The winner’s circle ceremony after the TVG Pacific signature race.

Her stablemate, Catch a Classic.

Flight, finished second, with Eastern shipper Red Vine a length back in third.

The winning time for the 1 1/4-mile race over the dirt was 1:59.77.

“I’ve never felt emotion over a race quite like this,” said Beholder’s trainer, Richard Mandella. “When she made that move (on the final turn), it just took my breath away. I’m flabbergasted. I expected her to run well or I wouldn’t have put her in this race. But I didn’t think she’d beat those colts up like that. You know how some people get emotional when they get old. I think I’m in that mode. I’m just starting to turn.”

Beholder, a two-time Eclipse Award champion, is owned by B. Wayne Hughes and Spendthrift Farm.

On Saturday’s undercard, Appealing Tale won the Grade II, $250,000 Pat O’Brien Stakes, and Big John B was victorious in the Grade II, $250,000 Del Mar Handicap.

Other stakes winners during the past week included Avanzare (Grade II, $200,000 Del Mar Mile), Holy Lute ($87,080 Green Flash Handicap) and Honey Lake ($85,500 CTT and TOC Handicap).

Five facts that everyone should know about concussions TO YOUR HEALTH: BY MICHAEL LOBATZ, MD From school sports to skateboarding, kids tend to play hard. Getting injured is often part of the game, but as a parent, you need to know when an injury is serious enough to warrant medical attention — especially when the damage isn’t immediately obvious. This is particularly true with concussions.

According to the American Association of Neurological Surgeons, more than 300,000 sports-related concussions occur annually in the U.S., and more than 62,000 concussions are sustained each year in high school contact sports. Thousands more result from falls, bicycle and skateboard mishaps, playground injuries, motorcycle and car accidents, and other causes.

Despite the prevalence of concussions, misconceptions about their causes, hazards and treatments are common. The following facts can help you understand this injury and how it should be treated.

1. A concussion is an injury to the brain.

A concussion occurs from an impact to the head, which causes the brain to bounce around or twist in the skull. This can damage brain cells and create chemical changes in the brain. Although most concussions are caused by a direct blow to the head, they also can result from impact elsewhere on the body that transmits force up to the head,

such as from a hard fall or sudden impact.

Though concussions may range in severity, all temporarily affect brain function, a condition known as Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI). A concussion may impair speech, balance, coordination, memory, and cognitive thinking. Failure to understand the severity of the injury and seek immediate, proper medical care can lead to long-term health problems, brain damage or death.

2. Most people who suffer a concussion remain conscious.

Contrary to popular belief, fewer than 10 percent of concussions result in loss of consciousness. Immediate symptoms of concussion may include confusion, difficulty thinking clearly, quickly forgetting new information, headache, slurred speech, unusual behavior, and repeated nausea or vomiting. In some cases, there may be no immediate symptoms at all, but days or weeks later, concussion may cause balance or coordination problems, slowed movement, and vision or hearing disturbances. In rare cases, a dangerous blood clot may form and crowd the brain against the skull.

3. There is no such thing as a “minor” concussion.

Every concussion is serious and should be evaluated by a trained medical professional. Never try to judge the seriousness of a concussion on your own, even if the person claims to feel just fine. Often, athletes try to resume their usual levels of activity

Dr. Michael Lobatz because they don’t want to be taken out of the game.

Don’t take chances with your child’s brain. Call a physician right away or go to a hospital emergency room for immediate evaluation. Proper care and management is essential for even mild injuries to ensure optimal recovery.

4. There is no universal rule for how long to wait before returning to activities.

Every concussion requires individualized care and management; what is right for one person may not be right (and may even be dangerous) for another.

Factors including the person’s general health, medical history, age, prior injuries, and post-concussion symptoms all must be considered. Baseline testing and/or post-injury neurocognitive testing can help to objectively evaluate the patient’s post-injury condition and track recovery for safe return to activities.

5. Second concussions can be more dangerous.

If a second concussion occurs before the first one has fully healed, the patent has significant risk of serious injury — this is why it is crucial to ensure an athlete is fully healed before returning to play. These “second impact” concussions are more likely to cause brain swelling and widespread damage, and may even be fatal. The consequences of repetitive concussions may include permanent long-term brain damage, motor dysfunction and cognitive declines, such as balance and gait disturbances, rigidity and slowed movement.

Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas educates parents, teachers, coaches and students about concussions in youth sports through “Play Smart. Play Hard.” Designed for high schools and athletic clubs, the free program offers comprehensive interactive presentations based on Centers for Disease Control guidelines. As part of the program, Scripps provides a simple 20-minute computerized test (called ImPACT) that evaluates each participant’s attention, memory, reaction time, problem-solving skills and processing speed. The test creates a baseline evaluation for young athletes who have never had a head injury. If participants suffer a concussion, they can retake the test, and clinicians can compare the results. The test is $10.

Michael Lobatz, MD, is a board-certified neurologist at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas. ”To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps. For information, visit www.scripps.org/CNP or call 858-207-4317.

‘My heroes aren’t athletes, actors or musicians,’ says best-selling thriller author

didn’t know it at the time, but I was in for a rude awakening!

story short, it took me 15 years and 750,000 words (six full novels) to break into this profession. Early on, I managed to complete two novels that were so poorly written and full of plot holes that burning them would’ve been an insult to fire!

They were that dreadful. Instinctively knew they were learning-curve projects, but that didn’t make the truth any easier to stomach. I’d created two hideous novels that should never, ever, be published. Should my wife Carla publish them after I die, I’d haunt her from the grave!

Fortunately during my formative years as novelist, I made a living as a developer and wrote when I found the time — mostly at night. My goal was to secure a traditional publishing contract in which a publisher paid me money, not the reverse, and I was lucky enough to achieve it. Yes, I believe luck plays a role. I’ve always said there are three forces that need to converge in order to succeed: Hard work. Talent. And luck. I believe luck plays a small part of the equation, less than 5 percent. If a writer does the hard work and improves his or her skills, there’s a 95 percent chance of success. If a writer relies solely on luck, there’s a 5 percent chance of success. It’s just numbers. There are no short cuts, magic words to say, or genie lamps to rub. As with all business-related ventures, there’s no substitute for hard work.

You sold your first short story in 1992, and then your first novel was published in 2008. Tell us about the inbetween.

Ahh yes, the colorful inbetween. We all have them, don’t we? For me, it could only be described as a roller coaster ride. A word of advice for anyone who’s considering a career as a novelist: Develop thick skin; you’re going to need it! To make a very long

You mention that in 2005 you attended your first writer’s conference and then became serious about writing.

What should aspiring writers look for in a conference and what should they take away from attending one?

Writing conferences aren’t giant nebulous things, they’re made of people. People create them, people attend them, and people learn from them. I never would’ve been published had I not reached out for help. And yes, help is what you get from conferences. Don’t write in a vacuum, reach out and seek the teachings, advice, and knowledge from those who’ve already achieved success. The La Jolla Writers Conference is a classic example.

BY ANTOINETTE KURITZ AND JARED KURITZ A San Diego native born at Sharp Hospital, Andrew Peterson learned to surf at age 10, is a fan of the Blue Angels, and at a very young age won his first pellet gun shooting competition at summer camp. His early fascination with rifles became a lifelong devotion to excellence in marksmanship with highpowered rifles, and he has medaled in many competitions.

While architecture was his first career, Peterson eventually changed direction, segueing into a career in real estate development while writing second shift, developing his literary voice — a voice that would make him a best-selling novelist.

When he is not writing, he visits U.S. troops and veterans around the world, and besides supporting them in myriad ways, donates thousands of books to them. One of our favorite authors, he recently sat down to answer a few questions about his long road to writing success.

Your formal training is as an architect and now you are a full-time writer. While both are creative pursuits, there is a chasm between architecture and writing. When and why did you segue into writing?

That’s an interesting question. Architecture is math and physics melded with art. Buildings need to be structurally sound, but they should also be pleasing to the eye. Novels are like buildings in that regard. Although I don’t use architectural skills in my everyday life, it’s a good background to have. I think it makes me pay attention to detail. Structure and creativity should work together, not separately. Words, sentences, and paragraphs are the metaphorical bricks, columns, and sheer-walls of a fictional story, and I work really hard to make each word count. On any given book, I spend 75 percent of my time editing and polishing.

I think creative writing has always been at the core of who I am. So in 1990, I took the plunge and began writing. I

Andrew Peterson will be teaching at the La Jolla Writers Conference, which runs Nov. 6-8. Courtesy photo

Local resident epitomizes perseverance: ‘I don’t let this limit me’

BY DEBORAH SULLIVAN BRENNAN SPECIAL TO THE CV NEWS/DM TIMES/SB SUN Local resident Eric Northbrook was going full speed ahead when he was injured and paralyzed from the chest down in a dirt bike accident in Baja California 2006, but since that time, he hasn’t looked back.

Despite his own traumatic injury and the subsequent loss of his wife, Denise, to cancer, Northbrook said he focuses on what remains instead of what he has lost. “Life’s too short to look in the rearview mirror,� said Northbrook, 49, managing director at Voit Real Estate Services in San Diego.

After rehabilitation for his injury, Northbrook, 49, went back to work, resumed sports and focused on raising his son and daughter, ages 16 and 14. Last year he remarried, adding five new members to the family. And he started a nonprofit, HeadNorth, which has provided support and mentorship to more than 500 San Diegans with spinal cord injuries. He talks about his journey and its challenges.

Q: What was your immediate reaction to the news that you were paralyzed?

A: My first thought was that God has got a different plan for me. I knew within 30 seconds of crashing that I was paralyzed. I didn’t have to wait until the doctors told me to know what had happened.

Q: What kind of rehabilitation did you undertake to adapt to the disability?

A: I arrived at Scripps Hospital in La Jolla initially and then was transferred to Craig Hospital in Denver. At Craig, I learned how to transfer, meaning getting into a wheelchair from being in a bed, or transfer into the car. I learned how to drive with my hands. I gained a lot of perspective going to

Craig Hospital because they treat traumatic injury and traumatic spinal cord injury.

There were many people a lot worse off than I was, so I was extremely thankful that I could still have cognition and be able to speak and carry on a normal conversation and watch my kids play sports. I never looked back or said “woe is me.�

Q: How did you adjust your business and professional life to accommodate your disability?

A: I’m a little slower getting from point A to B, but if someone’s willing to be patient, I (just) need an extra minute and a half to get out of the car. Touring buildings and so on is a little more difficult, but it’s not hard, just a slower process.

Q: How do you continue to play sports, including golf, skiing and cycling?

A: I use a sit ski, hand cycle, I have a golf cart called a “paragolfer� that stands me up and I hit the ball like that. I hold onto the paragolfer and swing with one arm. I played golf in high school and I can hit 128 yards now with one arm.

Q: Please tell us about the services and mission of your nonprofit, HeadNorth.

A: The name of the foundation is now HeadNorth Fund at Sharp HealthCare Foundation. It provides help and hope to those individuals who have been affected by traumatic spinal cord injury in San Diego County. All the money stays local. Over 90 percent of San Diego spinal cord injury rehab takes place at Sharp Healthcare. We’ve had a strategic relationship with them for years.

They now have adaptive hand-controlled vehicles for patients.

Q: Please tell us about the loss of your wife, Denise, and how you managed as a

Eric Northbrook continued work, sports and parenting after being paralyzed from the chest down in a dirt bike accident in 2006. Courtesy photo father and widower?

A: Three years after my accident, my wife, Denise, was diagnosed with cervical cancer and passed away. I learned to compartmentalize my emotions so I could move forward.

My kids are what drove me to keep pushing myself. I wanted to be a good example for them.

Q: How did you meet your new wife, and how has life changed since remarriage?

A: My wife, Anny, and I met because she is the sister of one of Denise’s really good friends. It was a blind date. We got married in November of last year and since then I have four more kids, I went from a party of three for dinner to a party of eight for dinner. Now it’s a balancing act for keeping the peace in the family with that many people. It’s nice to have a partner, someone on the same page to talk to and bounce stuff off of.

Q: What is the most valuable lesson you’ve learned as a result of your injury?

A: There are 15,000 things that you can do in this life, and with this injury now I can only do 12,500 of them. I can ski better than 70 percent of people on the mountain, I

golf, I hand cycle — I don’t let this limit me. I hand-cycled from San Francisco to San Diego with Challenged Athletes Foundation in the Million Dollar Challenge, which was seven days, 620 miles. I don’t ride around the block; I’m out for hours.

Q: What’s the best advice you ever received?

A: Nothing beats hard work and the desire to succeed!

Q: What is one thing people would be surprised to find out about you?

A: I’ve lived in eight different cities. When I moved to San Diego in 1988, I had already gone to five different schools and lived in seven different cities. Now I’m in San Diego and never leaving.

Q: Please describe your ideal San Diego weekend.

A: I would go out to dinner with my wife at one of my favorite restaurants, Market or Pamplemousse Grill. I would spend some time with my daughter Sydney on the tennis court with the ball machine, and I run the ball machine. And finally, there’s nothing better for me on a Sunday than to spend the afternoon on the golf course with both my kids hanging out.

Letters to the editor/Opinion

Please, can’t we restore The heritage and character of Del Mar showers at the beach?

We applaud the civic center architects for their creative parking solution and final site plan. However, many believe the very contemporary aesthetic design with mostly glass and little articulation to be very cold, boxlike and commercial (appropriate for a large city) ... not in keeping with the unique character and warm charm of our small village.

The design elements that have achieved Del Mar’s unique character and charm are deeply rooted in Del Mar’s history. Foremost was the historic grand Old Del Mar Hotel, the heart of the village, followed by the iconic Stratford Square, the most photographed building in all North County. Others include our beloved library, the historic train station, our community church, the Power House and other more Craftsman-style buildings, softened by articulation and inclusion of natural wood or stone elements.

It is Del Mar’s unique character and the one-of-a-kind charm of our small seaside village that attracted many of us to Del Mar. The original Design Review Ordinance was created to preserve and protect the unique character and heritage of (our) small village. The goal was to protect against out-of-scale inappropriate developments and encourage those that will enhance the character of our village.

Many believe the very contemporary, high, boxy, cold commercial design submitted is out of scale and not in harmony with the surrounding neighborhood, or in keeping with the unique character of our village that is Del Mar. As noted, we applaud the architects for their work to date and believe (with input from the community) they certainly have the talent, expertise and creativity to design our civic center to be efficient and a design in keeping with our heritage and the unique character and small-town village charm that is Del Mar. Your input is important.

Roundabouts make perfect sense for Del Mar Roundabouts make perfect sense for Del Mar. We have so many stop signs and so much traffic, especially in the beach area.

The stopping and goings, as everyone knows, causes pollution and noise during each stop, which we don’t need.

I agree with the Levak, Cree and Paa letters, and the ones that haven’t been written, in favor of installing at least one roundabout in Del Mar sooner than later. Why are we waiting? Let’s do it.

DM City Council must consider a ‘redo’ Mr. Emerson stated in his letter (Aug. 13) that he had been in attendance at the Ad Hoc Committee meetings charged with reviewing the current design review ordinance. I have attended every meeting held thus far from start to finish, and I have never seen Mr. Emerson present. Therefore I must challenge his observations regarding how well organized, thorough and efficient the meetings have been thus far.

The committee meets for an hour and 30 minutes twice monthly and has met a total of four times. They have struggled to adopt a specific work plan, a time frame in which to report back to the city council, and whether to start with problems/concerns or the application process. A recording of these meetings might prove helpful in order to clarify process, accomplishments, goals and objectives.

Additionally, Mr. Emerson’s statement, “the process for appointing members was fair” is without merit. The public is aware that the City Council’s Resolution 2015-24 called for establishing the Ad-Hoc Committee and directed staff to advertise for candidates for the committee and to Schedule Interviews for Committee Appointments. The City Staff Report dated June 15, 2015, stated that “At the May 18, 2015, City Council meeting, the City Council confirmed it would employ its customary process for the selection of Committee members by advertising for vacancies, interviewing candidates ....” Twenty-eight residents submitted applications, with the majority presenting themselves at the June 15 council meeting (as had been stated as a requirement).

Strangely, without any prior notification, the City Council chose not to conduct interviews (with the exception of architects) and selected nine committee members. Seven of the nine members selected were well-known to council members, many of whom had met with the same City Council members in the weeks leading up to their appointment and lobbied them for “a need to review immediately the effectiveness of our current DRO with a goal to “tighten” some ordinances and perhaps eliminate others.”

The members of the community that I have spoken with are alarmed, discouraged and outraged. The entire community is being directed by a minority of people, many of whom live in the same neighborhood. Items on their agenda include, but are limited to, the elimination of: basements, outdoor kitchens, pools, reduction of FAR. You name it, this group wants to take it away. The council must seriously consider a “redo.” We’ve had enough!

I want to add my voice to those who are embarrassed at shutting off the water for rinsing at the beach.

I was sitting in my living room on 13th Street when a young man came to my door asking if he and his friends from Arizona could use my hose to rinse sand off before heading back to Phoenix. He was unpleasantly surprised that “they have turned off the showers at the beach.” I can only imagine the 5-hour drive home covered with sand and grit. I gladly allowed them to use my water and have to believe that they used the same amount a few blocks away as they would have at the beach.

I am greatly concerned about the water shortage and do my part to conserve. But please, can’t we find a better way to cut usage than treating our visitors in such a way? Del Mar’s economy gains so much from guests, and we want them to come back!

Cheers, Julia Wilson, Del Mar

Del Mar’s ugly politics are alive and well I call BS on Bud Emerson’s editorial comments in your Aug. 14th edition regarding a newly created Ad Hoc committee in Del Mar. I would like to actually present the truth as to how this committee was created and why so many hundreds of our residents are up in arms over the way City Council handpicked this Ad Hoc committee, breaking its own resolution and word to the citizens who applied.

Early in the year, a group of residents unhappy with some of the new development in town, solicited council members individually to lobby prioritizing the creation of an Ad Hoc committee to review our DRO and DRB process, with the express intention of making the process more restrictive. Their hope was to fast-track this committee creation through City Council before the general citizenry knew what was happening.

Fortunately, some of us got wind of this underground effort and showed up to City Council meetings expressing our concerns and opinions of how to improve the DRB process. There are definitely contrasting opinions of what gives Del Mar its “unique village character.”

We pleaded with the council to publicize the creation of this new Ad Hoc, open the applications to the entire community and to please select a group of residents that reflect the views of our entire Del Mar population.

There were 28 applications submitted, of which 16 new faces were stepping up to volunteer service on this extremely important committee. Every applicant was emailed the time and date of the council meeting where they were to show up and be interviewed by Council members in a public setting.

At the beginning of that meeting, the council announced they were eliminating the interviews and making their selection from the applications submitted. In about 15 minutes’ time, the City Council selected 11 people to serve on the Ad Hoc, with three council members voting exactly the same on eight of the applicants, those same eight being the group who initiated the entire issue.

The truth is, we asked for fairness and balanced viewpoints to be of the utmost importance in the selection process. The council changed the rules; hand-selected a group of residents who have a very biased agenda regarding our community, as does Mr. Emerson, and disrespected a large group of citizens who care very much about the future of Del Mar and are extremely tired of the manipulation that goes on in this town’s politics.

This isn’t a case of being poor sports; it’s a case of demanding our elected officials play by their own rules and listen to the entire community.

One Paseo’s redesign is hardly downsizing Downsizing from 1.4 million square feet to 1.1 million square feet? That is hardly major downsizing. Kilroy is just putting lipstick on a pig. The approved official Carmel Valley Community Plan calls for no more than 518,000 square feet on that parcel.

Let Kilroy downsize to that, and we will not bring him back to another referendum threat.

Santa Fe Irrigation District board needs new directors As was so elegantly stated by the three professors, Slantchev, Gourevitch, and Zivin, (Aug. 20, 2015) the board of the Santa Fe Irrigation District developed a drought policy that punishes the conscientious and rewards the profligate.

So much so that the district has been the subject of critical national press more than once.

The Santa Fe Irrigation District has elected board members. We need new board members who can think clearly, creatively, and act fairly. Who will run for office?

Public’s use of meth hotline helps make community safer When neighbors watch out for each other, they strengthen their communities.

One neighbor’s tip in an Encinitas neighborhood led to the arrest of someone dealing heroin and methamphetamine out of a home. Earlier this year, the neighbor called the Methamphetamine Strike Force Hotline at 1-877-NO-2METH (877-662-6284) over concerns about drug dealing in his neighborhood. The tip was sent to the Encinitas Sheriff’s Department, which launched an investigation that eventually gained a warrant to search the residence and led to an arrest.

Neighborhood safety is everyone’s responsibility. And that is one of the goals of National Night Out, held the first Tuesday of August and designed to heighten crime and drug prevention awareness, strengthen neighborhood spirit and police-community relations, and send a message to everyone that neighbors are watching out for each other to prevent crime.

Cooperative projects help identify and address problems associated with meth and other drug use in the community. Meth continues to be a big problem in San Diego County. It’s the primary drug of choice among arrestees and in adult drug treatment admissions in the public system, as well as a primary contributor to drug overdose deaths.

Families and communities suffer the consequences when loved ones use drugs. Domestic violence, for instance, has shown to be heavily affected by meth use. In 71 San Diego County domestic violence case reviews from 2006-2013, more than 35 percent of perpetrators had a history of meth use, as well as nearly 27 percent of intimate partner victims.

The Meth Hotline is free and available to anyone who wants to leave a tip about suspicious activity in their neighborhoods.

“The Meth Hotline exists to help neighbors pass on anonymous, confidential tips to law enforcement about meth problems, and to provide information about drug treatment and other available resources,” said Jerry Young, Meth Hotline supervisor. “Residents can either call 1-877-NO2METH or email at www.no2meth.org to pass on this kind of information that can get results. We were very pleased that a neighbor helped uncover a meth distribution system in Encinitas. We love it when neighbors, the Meth Hotline and law enforcement can team up to make neighborhoods safe.”

In addition, local programs such as Crime Free Multi-Housing allows the opportunity for rental property owners and managers to reduce the likelihood of crime in their communities. The program is a partnership among property owners, law enforcement and residents with a dedication to making a safer community and to combat crimes in multi-unit housing complexes.

Every third Tuesday, North Coast Fellowship in Solana Beach serves as one of the distribution centers for the San Diego County Food Bank, where families and individuals can receive a variety of free produce, packaged and canned foods.

North Coast Fellowship in SB enjoys musical guests, helps feed the hungry Much has taken place recently at North Coast Fellowship, in serving the different needs of residents of North County: • The church’s music/ faith director, David Cordova, helped coordinate a rare visit by the internationally acclaimed musicians Duo Hermanos Devia. These two men have entertained audiences with their classical and spiritual music throughout the world. This rare appearance and performance by the group in California and their North American tour was significant. Their focus on the importance of prayer and interfaith support is needed to offset the present and growing attack against Christians worldwide.

• It may be difficult for many North County residents to believe that while living in such an affluent area, as we do, there still is a sizable populace of not-so-fortunate families.

Every third Tuesday, NCF serves as one of San Diego County’s Food Bank Centers. Families and individuals can receive a variety of produce, packaged and canned foods provided at no cost. Many of those who receive the supplemental food are those same individuals who prepare and serve your meals in restaurants throughout the county.

• “Good Will” celebrity Richard St.Denis, one of CNN’s recipients for the “Hero of the Year” Award, will be coming to California and speaking at NCF. The date hasn’t been set in stone, but it appears that Sunday, Sept. 13, is when Richard will be here to thank those who have helped support his ministry in Mexico. His World Access Project has provided wheelchairs and walking aids to hundreds who are handicapped and who would be housebound if not for his help.

SFID, Encinitas Fire Dept. among agencies sponsoring free fire-wise landscape class Olivenhain Municipal Water District, San Dieguito Water District, Santa Fe Irrigation District, Rancho Santa Fe Fire Protection District, Carlsbad Fire Department, Carlsbad Municipal Water District, and Encinitas Fire Department are co-sponsoring a free, joint-agency Fire-Wise Landscape Workshop from 9 a.m.-noon Sept. 1 at the San Diego Botanic Gardens in Encinitas.

To help alleviate concerns and increase awareness of what we can do to protect property, the workshop will provide homeowners with information on how to help protect their home from wildfires, especially during the severe drought the region is experiencing.

Greg Rubin, a native plant expert and author, will lead the workshop. Topics to be discussed include landscape zones and hydration, plant selection and installation, and landscape maintenance. Representatives from local fire agencies will also be on hand to address questions or concerns attendees may have.

“Our desire is first and foremost the safety of homeowners,” said Ed Sprague, president of Olivenhain Municipal Water District’s board of directors, “and it is vital that our customers learn and employ workable fire protection goals while also minimizing the amount of water required to do so.”

Fire season is in full swing in California, with as many as 24 wildfires burning throughout the state. While most of the fire activity has been north of San Diego County, the local

threat is still very real. Adding to the challenge is that California is in its fourth year of severe drought. The participating agencies understand residents’ concerns regarding the impact that state-mandated water restrictions will have on their landscape and vegetation, especially as it pertains to wildfire prevention and defensible space requirements.

the outside. Lonely. If the instructors at a writing conference don’t make themselves available, run away from it. I think that’s why I like the LJWC so much. All of the instructors, without exception, are there to offer their unconditional help and support.

Your main character, Nathan McBride, has been called “brutally effective” by Ridley Pearson and “a compelling, conflicted hero” by Steve Berry. How would you describe him?

In a nutshell, he’s a tough guy with a heart. Although the Nathan McBride novels are character-driven, they contain a lot of action. It’s important for an author to know his protagonist inside and out. I’m no different. I have to know why Nathan’s behaving the way he is. Because Nathan holds a core set of values that govern his life, the way he views the world determines the way he reacts to the world. He’s not afraid to make tough choices. Occasionally he’ll do some questionable, even unprincipled things, which create ethical dilemmas for him. He doesn’t enjoy bending or breaking the rules, but he has to consider the bigger picture. He’s seen the real world, horrible things that few will ever be exposed to, so his “world view” is much more informed than most. Nathan doesn’t dodge trouble, he confronts it.

From your author POV, what is the role of Nathan’s best friend, Harv, in the series? Of their relationship?

Harvey Fontana is the voice of reason and calm in Nathan’s life. He’s the glue that holds Nathan’s soul together. In many ways, they’re closer than family. During their botched mission, Nathan made a huge sacrifice for Harv — he allowed himself to be captured so that Harv could escape. Harv has always felt very guilty about that. Nathan went through three weeks of living hell at the hands of a sadistic interrogator.

Harv is not a sidekick by any definition, he’s an integral part of the Nathan McBride series. It’s funny; many readers like Harv as much (as), and some even more than Nathan.

How soon after creating Nathan McBride did you know he would beget a series? And what does it take for a character to do so? In the same vein, what are the benefits of writing a series? What are the drawbacks?

I knew it was going to be a series from the beginning, I just didn’t know if it was going to sell! The benefit of writing series is in the characters. I don’t have to create all new characters for each book. Just the bad guys — as they tend to be killed! Hey, they deserve to die. The difficulty lies in keeping the characters interesting. It’s important to maintain consis-

tency and keep Nathan and Harv true to who they are. Nathan and Harv are the same people in book one as they are in five, etc. … The reader will discover new things about them, but their core personalities won’t change. Many women reader have expressed concern about Nathan marrying Holly.

They’re worried he’ll “settle down.” Worry not. Nathan will always step up and “take care of business!”

Nathan experienced brutal torture during which he discovered a dark side in himself. What do we learn from his method of controlling it?

No one wants to experience the horrible ordeal that Nathan went through. He’s deeply conflicted by something he discovered about himself. The Other is a dark entity living deep within his soul. It surfaced during the worst of his torment and saved his sanity. In essence, an alternate personality came forward and repressed his normal personality. I know that sounds like Nathan became insane because of The Other.

Not so. It’s a complex situation and I’m no psychologist, but Nathan’s personality is not partitioned in the clinical sense.

He’s conflicted. He’s in complete control, but he can tap the dark energy of the The Other when things get really bad.

I think we all have safety valves that protect us from extreme mental trauma. And there’s no black and white definition of the phenomenon. What do we learn from it? I think we learn that mind over matter isn’t just an expression. Nathan makes a conscious choice not to dwell in a past he can’t change. His philosophy is this: It happened. Get over it. “Man up” and move on.

You generously donate both your time and books to members of the military and veterans. What got you involved in doing so?

Our military is very important to me. I chose to make the hero of the Nathan McBride series a military veteran — a Marine. My heroes aren’t professional athletes, Hollywood actors, or musicians. Although I respect the successes those people have achieved, my true respect and admiration goes to our service members, people who put their lives at risk keeping our enemies at bay. And America has many enemies. There are domestic heroes as well. Police and firefighters. They also put their lives at risk keeping us safe. I think I can sum up my thoughts in a single sentence: “I sleep well at night because they often don’t.”

You are now under contract for multiple books with Thomas Mercer. How does this success change your writing process?

The Nathan McBride series has done fairly well, but it

doesn’t really change the way I write. When I first started the series, I didn’t have an audience in mind. In other words, I wasn’t chasing a genre. Many of my author friends write in a genre because they think it’s the hot topic of the moment.

Topics are fleeting. What’s popular now may be bombing next year. I think it’s far better to write what you love and let the chips fall where they may.

I won’t write a vampire story just to chase a popular genre because I don’t feel passionately about vampires. I have nothing against them per se; they’re not my thing and the writing would come off as forced. Besides, how do you research vampires? I’d be afraid to ask!

Your route to publication was not exactly traditional, and yet you are now an enormously successful author.

What publication advice do you have for aspiring authors?

If an author decides to go the self-publishing route and launch his or her novel as an eBook or paper edition, don’t stop trying to obtain a traditional contract with a publishing house.

The problem for self-published authors is getting distribution. How do they get their books into the hands of readers?

Without the marketing engine of a traditional publishing house, it’s difficult and expensive to get visibility. When it comes to the big eBook retailers, it works just like grocery stores. Eye-level shelf space and end caps are purchased commodities. Indies can list their books on Amazon, iBooks, Nook, etc., but how do they get readers to find their titles?

Social media sites are limited when it comes to marketing. It doesn’t make sense to spend $100 dollars in advertising money only to get $10 in book sales. The same could be said for time. Don’t spend three hours on Facebook and Twitter for one sale. That time is better spent writing your next book. Remember, people don’t shop for books on Facebook and Twitter.

And what words of wisdom would you share about the writing process?

Seek help. Don’t work in a vacuum. Find a writer’s conference in your area such as the La Jolla Writers Conference and attend the workshops. Everything you need to know to become a successful author can be found at conferences. The one thing conferences can’t do? The work. Once you’ve got the knowledge, it’s up to you to make it happen.

Girl Scout aims to increase skin cancer awareness on way to Gold Award Torrey Pines High School senior Michelle Temby, a Girl Scout for 13 years, has been working on her Gold Award, the highest in Girl Scouts, since August 2014.

Her goal is to educate the community on the effects of the three types of skin cancer, the need to prevent skin cancer by using sunscreen with an SPF of 15 or higher, and the signs to see and recognize skin cancer, such as the ABCDE’s of melanoma.

Michelle started the Skin Cancer Awareness and Prevention Club at Torrey Pines High School. Part of her project involves volunteers from the club to work at events. For example, she had members help pass out sunscreen and educational pamphlets as well as share prevention tips to soccer players and parents at the Surf Cup in November of 2014.

Teachers at Carmel Valley Middle School, Solana Highlands, Solana Pacific, and Solana Ranch volunteered their time to let her share presentations on skin cancer awareness and prevention with their classes, and let her test their students with quizzes and evaluations on the presentation.

Friendly competition at CCHS helped sharpen pitcher for major leagues

BY GIDEON RUBIN The numbers suggest Stephen Gonsalves had to have been pretty well prepared to compete in the lower levels of the minor leagues.

He agrees.

“The first couple of years of rookie ball, it was basically just like playing against my high school guys,” the former Cathedral Catholic pitching standout said of an intensely competitive environment that included elite prospects Alex Jackson of Rancho Bernardo and Corey Oswalt (Madison), among others.

“Just being able to play with tough guys like that all the way through my entire life, that obviously helps for the younger levels” of professional baseball, Gonsalves said.

It apparently helps with the higher levels, too.

The 6-foot-5 190-pound power lefthander, selected by the Minnesota Twins in the fourth round of the 2013 draft out of Cathedral Catholic, is thriving in his first full season of professional baseball.

Gonsalves started the season at low-level Class-A Cedar Rapids (Iowa), where he went Stephen Gonsalves, a Cathedral Catholic 6-1 with a 1.15 ERA. He’s picked up right graduate, is thriving in his first season of where he left off after a midseason promo- pro baseball after being selected by the tion to advanced Class-A Fort Myers (Fla.) in Minnesota Twins. Courtesy photo the Florida State League, going 6-1 with a 2.23 ERA. He’s struck out a combined 123 batters while allowing 46 walks on the year.

The numbers follow a strikingly consistent pattern that so far has defined Gonsalves’ career.

“I’ve had some good people to work with in the offseason,” Gonsalves said.

Indeed. His offseason training mentors included Stephen Strasburg and James Shields.

Gonsalves met Strasburg during an offseason program for professional baseball players led by fitness guru Todd Durkin. The program’s participants also included Aaron Harang and Chris Young.

Strasburg took an interest in Gonsalves’ development, and the established star continues to mentor his protege. “(Strasburg) probably looked at me as a younger guy trying to climb through the ranks

and he gave me some tips. I learned a lot from (Strasburg),” Gonsalves said, noting some mechanical adjustments and tips on how to manage his workout program.

Strasburg helped correct a flaw in Gonsalves’ delivery, getting him to close his front side and keep his hips in proper alignment. Strasburg saw Gonsalves was opening his hips, which “ended up making me fall over to the third base side and not be so athletic.

“It’s like a golf swing if you think about it. Your hips are the main part (of your swing), and as long as your hips are pointing forward, you’ll stay on line.”

Strasburg also worked with Gonsalves on gripping a split-finger fastball. He also threw a bullpen session with Shields at La Costa Canyon High.

“It was unbelievable,” Gonsalves said of working with some of the best major league pitchers of today’s generation. “I tried to keep my jaw from dropping as much as I could.

“They’re top guys in the MLB, and it’s always been my dream to get to that level.”

Gonsalves has some familiar company in trying to reach that level.

He’s among three recent high-ceiling left-handed pitching prospects who are products of Cathedral Catholic currently playing pro ball. Former No. 1 overall draft pick Brady Aiken (Cleveland Indians) and Daniel Camarena (New York Yankees) are the others.

“It’s very crazy to think about that, but that’s the reason we all we went to Cathedral,” he said, noting the school’s reputation for pushing students to excel in athletics and academics, compared with a college-style experience.

Gonsalves played on one of the most talented high school pitching staffs in state history during his senior year in 2013. The staff had an unheard-of five pitchers who went on to play professional or Division I college ball. Along with Gonsalves and Aiken, the staff featured Michael Martin (UC Irvine), Andrew Wright (USC) and Alex Schick (UC Berkeley).

Gonsalves said the abundance of pitching talent at his high school created a friendly competition that made everybody better.

“Being able to compete with (Aiken) and going back to my freshman year when I was competing with Daniel Camarena, it was good friendly fun,” he said.

He and Aiken, who graduated a year after him, remain close friends, and although he acknowledges that they’re similar pitchers, Gonsalves insists Aiken “has better stuff.”

But Gonsalves may be catching up. Earlier this year, he developed a sharp curveball under the tutelage of Cedar Rapids pitching coach Henry Bonilla, who taught him to “just to spike the curveball.”

Gonsalves had heard that before.

“Brady Aiken tried to teach me that my senior year, but I never got the hang of it until now,” he said. “I guess you can say Brady tried to do it, but it took me a little longer to get it down.”

At 21, he has plenty of time to get the hang of things on his way to the majors. In addition to the curveball, he’s added the splitter to his pitching repertoire this season — a pitch that for now he just uses to get lefties to chase when they’re behind in the count.

But whatever his future holds, he’s committed to staying true to his local roots.

“Always know that I’m the hometown kid who’s working hard to represent San Diego,” he said.

Local cyclist wins 4 silvers at national meet Natalie Wang, age 9, a fourth-grader at Carmel Del Mar Elementary, does not back off in the face of fierce competition. She won the Carmel Valley 5K two years in a row in her age division, and recently won four silver medals on the national stage at the USA Cycling Elite and Junior Track National Championships.

Natalie competes regularly in youth triathlons and uses track cycling for her bike training. Track cycling is a bicycle racing sport held on specially built banked tracks or velodromes. The sport has been around since at least 1870 and has been featured in all of the modern Olympics Games with the exception of the 1912 Olympics. Track bikes have no brakes and have one fixed gear (meaning the bikes cannot coast), and therefore, require laser focus while riding.

Track cycling is particularly popular in Europe, where it is often used as off-season training for road bike racers. Natalie trains with the San Diego Velodrome Youth Team, which offers free training for new youth riders on Mondays.

ONE PASEO

continued from page 1

verse voices. She noted that the evening time was probably difficult for a lot of working parents to attend to provide input.

To that end, a virtual workshop is available online at onepaseo.com, and people can continue to comment until Sept. 2.

Along with the Carmel Valley board, the chairs of the Del Mar Mesa, Torrey Pines and Torrey Hills community planning boards were in attendance. Kathryn Burton, chair of the Torrey Hills board, said she was impressed with the presentation and appreciated that the refined design elements better reflected the community and that the traffic had been reduced.

“Kilroy has done a 180 in how it is dealing with the community,” Burton said. “They obviously are listening and incorporating into the project what the community wants.”

One resident voiced concern that having the planning board host Kilroy gave the appearance that the board already supported the project.

“We did not have anything like this when One Paseo came to us before,” said Frisco White, Carmel Valley Community Planning Board chair, reminding the resident that the board voted against the development last August before it was approved by City Council.

“This is an opportunity to take a fresh look at One Paseo and get the community involved. We may or may not support it; we may support it with conditions.”

The new One Paseo is a 58 percent reduction in the office element, down to 280,000 square feet, and the retail represents a 62 percent reduction, down to 95,000 square feet of retail. The 608 residential units remain the same.

Traffic has been reduced from 24,000 average daily trips to 14,000, and Kilroy still intends to install traffic signal synchronization technology as a community benefit, which Kilroy says will help with emergency vehicle access, a major concern of the Del Mar and Torrey Pines communities.

Several at the workshop commented that they liked that only one more traffic signal would be added to Del Mar Heights Road rather than two. They also asked that there not be a dual turn lane onto High Bluff Drive north, and advocated for bike lanes and safe pedestrian access.

Kilroy has proposed three options for the development’s layout, with the four- and sixstory office buildings on El Camino Real at different angles, all with 30-foot setbacks and with the larger buildings terraced to reduce the massing, according to Ramon Hone, of 5+ Design.

Option C features more smaller retail spaces in a cluster, and Option B includes a larger space for a major retailer. Residents could weigh in on which building articulation they preferred.

During the public comment portion near the end of the workshop, several community members said they remained doubtful about the downsizing, saying that 1.1 million square feet is still much more than the 510,000 square feet that the property is entitled for.

One resident said the pictures of pretty landscaping and benches were “smoke and mirrors” to distract people from the real issues.

“While traffic is important, so is intensity and densification,” the resident argued. “This will be the most dense project in San Diego without transit, and no hope for transit. The bulk and scale is too massive, there’s not enough green space, and the office is too close to the street.”

Ken Farinsky, one of the biggest opponents of the original One Paseo proposal who now sits on the planning board, said he was disappointed to hear comments from people that they don’t want anything, or they want it smaller or just an office building.

“I would like to know what’s too big and what would make it acceptable,” he said. “I think we need housing, and I think we need more retail and office. I think we need to be more pragmatic. I don’t think ‘No’ is a good answer at this point.”

COMMISSION

mendations on these projects to the council.

In addition, the sheriff’s department has expressed interest in holding a “Coffee with the Captain” community meeting, where members of the public could discuss public safety issues.

Furthermore, although limited, staff resources have been dedicated to the commission.

Besides the commissioners, monthly commission meetings are consistently attended by the city’s directors of engineering and public works, a fire battalion chief, a sheriff lieutenant and the city manager’s executive assistant. Costs associated with staffing the commission were not calculated; however, staffing would be the only ongoing costs or savings to the city, according to the report.

Staff time could be better used elsewhere, council members agreed.

“I appreciate the service of the commission members and obvious dedication to public safety,” said Councilman Peter Zahn. “To me, I think the issue is where there is a use of resources on the part of the city that can be saved — that’s something that we have a duty to look at.”

“Thank you for serving — we appreciate it very, very much,” added Mayor Lesa Heebner, who encouraged community members to come to council meetings and speak during the oral communications portion of the meetings or email council members to share their comments or concerns.

“We did ask for this review a while ago because of resource issues,” she said. “One of the things that stood out the most in this report are the number of high-level staff department heads who are taken away from the rest of their work to come in to inform the commission. What I’m looking at is that you guys are actually being advised and the public is not being advised.”

grounds. The project is part of the North Coast Corridor Program, a comprehensive package of highway, rail and transit, and coastal access improvements, which spans 27 miles from Oceanside to La Jolla.

The Federal Railroad Administration — the lead agency for the project under the National Environmental Policy Act — is reviewing a preliminary environmental document for the project. SANDAG expects the FRA to release the final environmental document and announce its decision in the next couple months, said spokesperson Amy Freiburger.

SANDAG recently received approval from the FRA to move forward with the 60 percent design phase, Freiburger said. Once the project’s team makes progress, Freiburger said SANDAG and NCTD will host a third open house to share draft concepts of the bridge and platform design.

NCTD’s current and separate repair project is expected to improve tidal flows, which are important to the vitality of lagoon wildlife. Approved by the California Coastal Commission, Army Corps of Engineers, and California Regional Water Quality Control Board, the project should be completed by the end of 2015.

fight the state’s mandated water-use cutbacks, in court if necessary.

Don Billings, a resident of Solana Beach, told the board that its action to institute strict water-use restrictions and accompanying fines “is based on an illegal order from Sacramento.”

At a number of recent public meetings and in interviews, Billings has contended that because San Diego County does not face a water shortage this year, it should not have to comply with the steep cuts ordered by Gov. Jerry Brown and state water officials.

Instead, said Billings, Santa Fe should repeal its restrictions and file a lawsuit against the state, as the city of Riverside has done.

Catherine Dickerson, also a Solana Beach resident who has launched a website, watersandiego.org, challenging the state-required cutbacks, told the board, “The governor has essentially spit in your faces and our faces. He is leading us down a path of miserable deprivation.”

Santa Fe board president Michael Hogan said the board discussed potential litigation against the state over the mandated water cuts during a closed session following Thursday’s public meeting. The board did not take action, he said, preferring instead to work with the San Diego County Water Authority, which is seeking a relaxation of the required cutbacks on an administrative level with state officials.

Local water officials were heartened by comments from Brown during a visit to San Diego earlier this month, when he said that the state’s mandatory cutbacks would likely be modified in February after the initial emergency order expires.

San Diego County officials, and members of the public such as Billings and Dickerson, argue that the region should not face the same magnitude of cutbacks as other parts of the state, since it has invested heavily in water reliability projects such as the soon-to-open Carlsbad desalination plant, lining canals in Imperial County to prevent leakage, and improvements to the county’s reservoir system.

Hogan agreed with Billings and Dickerson that San Diego County does not face a water shortage this year; the County Water Authority has stated that it can meet 99 percent of demand for the coming year, even if its key supplier, the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California, cuts deliveries by 15 percent.

But that is possible only by drawing down reserve supplies, Hogan said. If the forecast El Niño weather condition fails to materialize, bringing rain to the state this winter, Hogan said, more severe cuts could be needed next year, especially if conservation efforts are not stepped up now.

“If hope was a strategy, you could rely on El Niño, but you just can’t do that in a boardroom,” Hogan said.

Santa Fe officials are banking on the County Water Authority persuading state regulators to grant relief to the region in the form of reduced water-use cuts. But if not, he said, “any kind of (legal) action that could be taken against the state, would be best served if taken by the region, rather than one small agency like Santa Fe.” Hogan and his fellow Santa Fe board members are also sympathetic to the contention by some San Diego County residents that the state’s steep mandatory cuts are unfair in light of the region’s water-related investments.

The water authority has a drought response plan to allocate water to member agencies which entails much lower cuts, Hogan said. Instead, the state ordered steep reductions in water use that “completely blow up the regional approach to managing our water supplies.”

said in an interview before the first day of school. “I know that change is not easy, and transition is not easy. From the beginning, I sent out a message to all the teachers and I said that I’m available. My office doors are always open.”

In addition to starting a new job, Tapia, 34, is working on his doctorate in education at USC. He married his wife, Priscilla, 10 months ago. They are expecting their first child.

“It’s a special time in my life,” Tapia said. “I’m in a good place.”

His goal is to support the vision of Solana Vista’s teachers. The quote, “Leadership is about empowering the people doing the work” is written on the white board in his office.

“I really believe that education is the way to change the world,” Tapia said. “Education is a tool for shaping minds. It’s a big responsibility.”

TPHS football off season includes Marine-style ‘Crucible’ training

BY KAREN BILLING The Torrey Pines football team is heading into the season as a band of brothers, after spending three days of Marine-style training at Camp Pendleton. A team of seven Marine trainers led 65 kids and 11 coaches through the trip the boys named “The Crucible,” filled with physical, mental and emotional challenges.

Perhaps the most challenging for a group of teenagers: no cellphones.

The boys camped like Marines, ate MREs, carried out tactical missions and learned all about problem solving and how to find true leadership in chaos.

On the last day, everything the boys learned was put into motion for a 6.9-mile trek over varied terrain, including mud six to 18 inches deep. The boys had to work as one, such as climbing a challenging incline while carrying supplies and teammates on their backs.

As Coach Ron Gladick said, “Marines are true heroes, teaching the Falcons that love for each other is the key.”

At the end of the training the boys received dog tags, a long-standing TPHS football tradition, and seven were named as members of the senior cabinet leadership team, names that the boys preferred to be known only to the team.

Of the Marine-style training, one senior cabinet member said, “This is the hardest thing I’ve ever done. And this is the best thing I’ve ever done.”

Gladnick has been head football coach for the Falcons for two years. A former high school and college defensive end, he was an assistant coach at Torrey Pines from 2009-11 before spending two seasons at Clairemont High School, taking an 8-32 program to playoff victory for the first time in 20 years.

He was one of 46 applicants for the head coaching job at TPHS, undergoing an intense interview process which he said rivaled anything he saw in his business career.

Gladnick, who lives in Fairbanks Ranch, built an aviation parts business in San Diego and sold it in 2011, allowing him to focus full time on coaching.

“I’m blessed to do this. I can work 100 hours a week if I want to, and I probably do,” he said. “It’s not work when you love what you do.”

The Crucible training program was admittedly “a risk,” something he had never done before as a coach.

He met with Luke Shaffer, a recently retired Special Forces Marine and F-18 pilot, along with six other Special Forces Marines who would lead the training. Shaffer simply told Gladnick, “I need you to trust me,” and the two shook hands. The players had no idea what they were in for, and neither did the coaches.

“The whole program was to constantly challenge the players and coaches to solve problems under duress,” Gladnick said. “The seven guys were so good at what they do. They knew when to push, when to hold back. We were amazed, and they never let a teaching opportunity go by.”

The boys were grouped into units; each had a squad leader. The Marines set up mock scenarios and trained the boys how to handle problems. On the first day, they learned a “fireman’s carry” — how to carry a wounded person — which would come into play on their final day mission.

The difference between day one and day three astounded Gladnick. “I didn’t even recognize them as the same kids,” he said.

Communication was also stressed, and the boys spent one afternoon talking about leadership, each giving examples of life challenges they had faced. Even boys who don’t ordinarily talk or share were connecting and bonding, which Gladnick said was awesome to see.

A team slogan that came out of the training was “Man in the Arena,” derived from a speech by Theodore Roosevelt. The speech states that what counts is not the critics who point out when a strong man stumbles, but rather that credit belongs to the “man in the

Sticking together: the boys learned how a Marine squad sleeps in a cold environment.

arena,” who “strives valiantly” and who at best knows the triumph of achievement and at the worst fails — but does so while “daring greatly.”

“The message is, people who try will live a life wrought with excitement, unlike the person who never tries at all,” Gladnick said.

As the boys’ cellphones had been taken away, Gladnick was the team’s only link to the outside world during the three-day Crucible. He kept his Twitter-feed teeming with live updates, and the parents loved it.

“I’ve noticed a huge change in the boys, (the lessons) carried over,” Gladnick said.

One of the things the Marines stressed was “Never go internal” — don’t personalize a challenge, share it with your team and look to your brothers for help.

“To me, that’s what the whole program is about; it really has nothing to do with football,” Gladnick said.

Football is secondary to what they are trying to do, he said, which is to teach the boys to be high-quality men. His players learn responsibility and accountability and the importance of a strong work ethic.

“In eight out of 10 games, we’re less athletic than the other team. In order to be successful, we have to capture all the intangible things,” he said.

Gladnick said his program is about getting the kids to play as well as they can play, to continue to raise their standards and live with the results of the games, no matter what happens. The non-football approach to playing football seems to fit for kids at Torrey Pines, he said — smart, high-character kids who learn that 11 players working as one can beat 11 great athletes.

Gladnick said this year’s squad has a lot of depth. Last year, only 11 players were over 100 pounds, but this year they have 24 over 200.

“These kids have worked so hard,” Gladnick said, noting that the staff works with them on their diets and tracks the calories they are burning.

In the winter training months, players were burning 3,700 calories a day and in the See FOOTBALL, page B23

North Coast Rep season opener ‘Fox on the Fairway’ flourishes with farce

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DIANA SAENGER Plays by Ken Ludwig are popping up in a lot of theaters this summer, because the clever writer creates the most delicious comedies. “The Fox on the Fairway,” opening Sept. 9 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, joins Ludwig’s list of fabulous farces, which include “Lend Me a Tenor,” “Moon Over Buffalo,” and now playing at The Old Globe, “Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery.”

“Fairway” is yet another production with nonstop laughs. A tournament is about to take place at the Quail Valley Golf Club, and bets at the club are flying through the locker room like Frisbees. When a beleaguered country club president, his cocky nemesis from a neighboring club, a newly minted (but thoroughly love-besotted golf pro), a sexy waitress, his sex-starved vice president and his suspicious wife get together, golf balls and clubs may have new targets!

The action is directed by Matthew Wiener, who guides a cast of six: Kyle Sorrell, Ashley Stults, Kevin Bailey, Brian Salmon, Jacquelyn Ritz and Roxane Carrasco.

Of her “bluesy and blowsy” role, Ritz said, “I have a lot of fun and I kiss just about everyone. Playing farce stretches different muscles (than a dramatic role) and you have to be very physically present. It’s not Shakespeare, but it’s not unlike Shakespeare in that you must maintain the energy to be aware of the technical elements and to stay focused.”

Carrasco said her role “is stretching my acting chops.”

“My part is intended for an overweight

woman who is as sturdy as a German tank,” she said. “The role is so unlike me, physically, however, it’s fun because normally I am more graceful and now I’m brutish and unattractive.”

Although the plot is centered on golf, those who don’t play won’t have a problem understanding what’s going on.

“I’m a golfer, and as I started reading the play, I assumed there might be some inside jokes that only golfers would get,” Carrasco said. “But you don’t have to know anything about golf, you just have to know people and recognize stereotypes.”

“My character is not a golfer,” Ritz said.

“She doesn’t know a lot about the game, but would like to learn more. She’s in the club because she’s on the board, so she’s interested in the stakes, the lifestyle of the club, who’s going to get married next — those kinds of things.”

Both actresses are big fans of Ludwig’s works.

“In a farce, we try to solve problems in a hurry and, of course, the crazy things just keep happening,” Ritz said. “I have to calm Justin down, and the only way know I how to do that is to give him a big kiss on the mouth … just then his girlfriend walks in …

I have to pretend I’m struck with sudden blindness.”

Carrasco added that her favorite moment is the scene where “I end up having a romantic moment when you least expect it.”

Ritz said, “Ludwig is a master at creating moments we dig ourselves into and then have to dig ourselves out of, kicking,

screaming and laughing. His jokes are really funny, and yet smart in that he sees the irony of the situations.”

Carrasco added, “He is a wonderful writer. You know these people because he’s able to capture the stereotypes and that makes it easy to develop a love-hate relationship for them. As an actress, I love that because it makes it easier to play and for the audience to understand what’s going on.”

“The Fox on the Fairway” runs Sept. 9-Oct. 4 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach. Tickets from $39 at 858-481-1055; visit northcoastrep.org.

Artistic tile sets the style for Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch

BY DIANE Y. WELCH The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch is buzzing with activity as vendors and customers are enjoying the shopping along with the ambiance and the artistry of the newly completed center at Carmel Valley Road and Village Center Loop Road, across from Canyon Crest Academy.

The center’s architecture is designed by SGPA Architecture and Planning, and the landscape architecture firm is MW Peltz and Associates, which brought in local artist Christie Beniston to design decorative tile murals to beautify the buildings.

There are 12 mural pieces, which range in size from about 15 feet across to those decorating entry columns and measure about 2 feet across.

“The Neurotherapy Center at Rady Children’s Hospital provides restorative therapies to pediatric neurology patients that are not available anywhere else in Singer Rob Thomas will perform at the Oct. 10 Sounds the U.S.,” said event co-chair of Hope for Children concert. Courtesy photo Edith Smith. “We are delighted to have the opportunity to raise awareness and much-needed funds for the Center.”

The Center is part of Rady Children’s Division of Neurosurgery, which provides pre-operative evaluation, surgical intervention, and pre- and post-operative care for disorders of the brain, spine, calvarial vault and peripheral nerves, explains Smith.

“It is imperative that we continue to provide and expand the opportunities for restoring lost function and minimizing surgical risks to these young neurological patients. The funds we raise at Sounds of Hope will help the Hospital accomplish that,” she said.

The Neurosurgery Division’s specialists perform more than 600 surgeries annually, including brain tumor surgeries, craniofacial procedures and cerebrovascular spinal fluid diversions. U.S. News and World Reports has ranked Rady Children’s Hospital’s Neurosurgery and Neurology programs among the nation’s best for four consecutive years.

“The Carmel Valley Unit’s Sounds of Hope for Children has presented top musical talent including Seal, Earth Wind & Fire, Al Green, the Goo Goo Dolls, Maroon 5, the Disco Divas headlined by Chaka Khan, and Mat Kearney,” Smith said. “We are excited to add Rob Thomas to our list of incredible performers.”

Sounds of Hope for Children concerts have raised more than $4 million and benefited Rady Children’s Hospital departments including: Speech and Hearing, Emergency and Trauma, Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) (twice), Allergy and Asthma, the Chadwick Center for Children and Families, the NICU at Scripp’s Encinitas, and the Autism Discovery Institute.

Sounds of Hope for Children has made it possible to fund numerous critical items including Giraffe Isolettes for the most fragile, tiny patients in the NICU; communication helmets and trauma counseling sessions for the hard-working staff in the Emergency and Trauma unit; sensitive audio equipment needed to assess the youngest of patients suspected to be suffering from a hearing impairment; and trauma sessions for children who have experienced abuse, neglect or a traumatic event in their lives.

In the case of the Autism Discovery Institute, the funds raised were used to build a playground specifically designed to meet the special needs of children with autism.

Cardiff Greek Festival coming Sept. 12-13 Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church welcomes the San Diego community to experience Hellenic cuisine, entertainment and hospitality during the 37th annual Cardiff Greek Festival on Sept.

12-13. The parish will donate 10 percent of festival profits to support building the St. Nicholas National Shrine at the World Trade Center.

For a $3 admission (children under 12 are free), festival attendees will be transported into a quaint Greek village, serenaded by live entertainers across three stages, including renowned Southern California Greek band 4 Greeks LA. The parishâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s youngest members â&#x20AC;&#x201D; ages 5 through high school â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will perform folk dances in traditional costumes.

Delicacies will be available, such as souvlaki (shish kabobs), loukaniko (sausage), dolmathes (stuffed grape leaves) and gyros.

Vegetarian fare includes tiropitas (cheese triangles in filo) and spanakopita (spinach pie). The Kafenio (cafĂŠ) boasts mouth-watering desserts and coffee.

An open marketplace will typify a traditional bazaar. The Rev. Father Michael Sitaras, pastor of Saints Constantine and Helen, will host tours of the church. A Fun Zone with games, crafts, and miniature golf will ensure children enjoy their time as much as

the adults. A photo booth will help preserve the experience, and a chance to win a 2015 Mercedes-Benz CLA will keep the festivalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s excitement going until the very end. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This year, we are blessed to not only share our culture with the San Diego community, but also extend our support to provide a place of worship and peaceful reflection at the site of the horrific tragedy,â&#x20AC;? said Father Sitaras.

Graphic designer expands her palette to include software, sewing

BY DIANE Y. WELCH Soothing aqua blue, lime green and shades of coral dominate the palette of fine artist Laura Cunningham. Her skill in graphic design and her eye for evoking a tranquil beauty combine to create artworks that are calming, reflecting scenes found in the North County coastal area.

Defining her work as mixed-media, Cunningham said her pieces start with a photograph. Many of the shots are of Moonlight Beach in Encinitas, close to where she has her studio. That just begins the process.

“I look at the image and know that I will be doing a lot of manipulation to it,” she said.

The initial digital photograph doesn’t have to be perfect. She crops the image, adds layers of color and combines it with graphic design to demonstrate the moods and essence of the ocean.

“Sometimes I’ll put in layers to make it look aged, or sometimes I’ll add circles to the image,” said Cunningham, who said that she feels that circles are very soothing.

“I don’t like the images to be straightforward and pure,” she explained. “I like them to be pulled into the graphic world.”

Cunningham’s tools include computer image software, an industrial-sized printer that transfers her enhanced photographic images onto canvas, and a sewing machine, which she uses to add textural interest and contrasting color to her pieces. Many of her works have loose threads hanging from the canvas, deliberately so. “I tell people if they want to cut them off, they can,” she joked.

The completed canvas is surrounded by a hand-made frame. “I use yardsticks and paint on them and I distress them. I also use cigar boxes and collage onto them,” she said.

Each piece is not complete until it has a small tag stapled to the side that contains a simple quotation that matches the image’s theme. “That’s why I call my work mixed-media, because there is a lot going on in them.”

Born and raised in Laguna Beach, Cunningham has spent most of her life in southern California. She attended

Laura Cunningham’s artistic tools include computer image software, an industrial-sized printer, and a sewing machine. Right: “Sandpiper” combines photography and graphic elements. Courtesy photos Cal State Long Beach, completing a bachelor’s degree in fine art, then received her MFA in Graphic Design from The Academy of Art in San Francisco.

Cunningham came to North County for a work opportunity as a graphic designer for No Fear apparel, taking photographs of the merchandise, editing them and designing the complete layout of the catalogs. “It was a good experience for me, because I got thrown into a lot of responsibility right off the bat,” she said.

Other opportunities came in publication design until Cunningham opened up her studio in Encinitas where prospective clients may visit by appointment.

At The Marine Room, Every Meal is a Special Occasion.

HIGH TIDE DINNER

Pieces of Cunningham’s work are available from Bliss 101 in Encinitas, in Charisma in Coronado and in several other coastal galleries and in retail showrooms in Laguna Beach and Hillcrest. She took part in Art Walk NTC at Liberty Station during the weekend of Aug. 15-16, having been juried in with just four other North County artists.

A high point this year is that Cunningham was also juried in to take part in the three-day Kaaboo arts festival at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, Sept. 18-20, and has an exhibition at the Encinitas Library from Aug. 10 through Sept. 10.

Todo Mundo performs at Music’s Alive on the CRT Todo Mundo performed at “Music’s Alive on the CRT (Coastal Rail Trail)” Aug. 23 in Solana Beach, a free, family-friendly event.

“Arts Alive on the Rail Trail” has been an annual attraction in Solana Beach for the past five years and is an award-winning event, originally created to draw local people to the city’s linear park, the Coastal Rail Trail.

This year, the Public Arts Commission opted to create several events that are more concentrated to highlight specific artists. “Music’s Alive on the CRT” is the first of those events.

This event also included the popular “Fence Art” from previous “Arts Alive on the CRT” events.

Cost is $20 for nonmembers. The Winston School is at 215 9th St., Del Mar. Kirsch is the author of “A Jungian Life,” published in 2014, which chronicles his very Jungian life. From conception until the present, C.G. Jung, his ideas, and analytical psychology itself have been a central thread in Kirsch’s life.

His parents, James and Hilde Kirsch, were in analysis with Jung when he was born in 1935, and he was imaged to be the product of a successful analysis.

At an early age, Kirsch was introduced to many of the first-generation analysts who surrounded Jung. Later, in his roles with the International Association for Analytical Psychology, the professional international organization of Jungian analysts, he gained a broad knowledge of the develop- Thomas B. Kirsch ments in analytical psychology, and worked closely with many analysts who were integral in forming the foundations of analytical psychology.

Thomas B. Kirsch graduated from Yale Medical School in 1961, did a residency in psychiatry at Stanford University, and spent two years with the National Institute of Mental Health in San Francisco. He completed his Jungian training at the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco in 1968, and is a Jungian analyst in private practice in Palo Alto. He was president of the C.G. Jung Institute of San Francisco from 1976-1978, served on the executive committee of the IAAP from 1977-1995, and was president from 1989-1995.

Pro skateboarder Tony Hawk to be honored at Natural High gala Sept. 12 The annual Natural High Gala, celebrating the national movement of youth saying yes to life and resisting drugs and alcohol, will be held Sept. 12 at the Omni La Costa Resort and Spa in Carlsbad.

With a goal to raise $400,000 for the 2015-16 school year, the event will raise the funds needed to ensure Natural High’s 20,000 education partners continue receiving this life-changing program completely free of charge.

The evening will include special performances, live and silent auctions and a program showcasing the impact of Natural High’s life- Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk will be honored with changing mission on 13- to the Gamechanger Award at the Sept. 12 Natural High 17-year-olds over more than Gala. Courtesy photo two decades.

Pro skateboarder and 15-year Natural High celebrity ambassador Tony Hawk will receive the 2015 Gamechanger Award recognizing him for his dedication to empowering youth. Local rising star Cody Lovaas will help honor Hawk, recognizing him and other role models who have changed the drug prevention landscape and inspired youth like Lovaas to say yes to their natural highs.

“We know that youth are profoundly influenced by their peers and role models,” said Jon Sundt, founder of Natural High. “By sharing the stories of celebrity ambassadors like Tony Hawk and Cody Lovaas, who tell the truth about drugs and alcohol, we’re introducing the opposite of what they typically see in the media. We’re changing social norms across the country.”

On any given day, 20,000 13-year-olds in the U.S. will try drugs or alcohol for the first time. Peer pressures can be overwhelming, and that’s why nonprofits like Natural High exist — to inspire youth to discover, amplify and pursue what they love to do. Research shows that young people who find natural highs or “sparks” engage in fewer risk-taking behaviors.

Tickets for the cocktail reception, silent auction and dinner are $250 per person. Guests can buy VIP tickets for $350, or reserve a table of eight for $1,800 and $2,600 respectively.

Solana Pacific’s first day of school Leading. Human. Kind.

Elizabeth Hospice patient Carmin, at home with her family in San Diego, CA.

Family is forever.

It’s easier to look back than to look forward, especially when a loved one is seriously ill. In a way, our shared history is timeless. But family is more than a memory. It’s being a parent, a sister, a son. It’s not always easy, but it’s always worth it. When we can do the right thing for the one we love, we carry that with us forever — like family.

With over 37 years of leading nonprofit service, the Elizabeth Hospice expertly guides families through life’s most difficult transition, providing support and counsel for every age, at every step.

Carmel Del Mar Dragons fired up for new school year Carmel Del Mar students went back to school on Aug. 24 to a refreshed school campus. Over the summer, the school underwent a partial modernization and several classrooms were converted to modern learning studios, complete with flexible furnishings that replace traditional rows of desks and chairs. Additional classrooms got a new look after being damaged by the summer’s rain.

The Del Mar Union School District’s pilot modern learning studios are also at Sage Canyon School this year.

Brothers Chris and Aaron Poland reunite to join their heroes, The English Beat, onstage live at the Belly Up at 9 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 29, in Solana Beach.

For the first time in more than two years, Chris Poland will join Aaron Poland live onstage, which means concertgoers can expect a high-energy dance-hall medley of original ska-punk-reggae-rock-freestyle, songs from their upcoming release, and old favorites such as “Love Is Stronger Than Pride.”

The Poland brothers feature unusual instrumentation such as the conch, revel in onstage guitar antics, and often engage the crowd in contests to win merch.

“The English Beat really influenced our sound and how we grew as a band,” said Aaron Poland, lead man to Warsaw. The Warsaw Poland Bros. have more than 12 full albums to date, and their latest, “First to Fight,” sold more than 6,000 copies, no small feat considering their entirely D.I.Y. and independent nature.

CCA’s Raven Readiness Days kick off new year

BY GLORIA LIMAS Raven Readiness days at Canyon Crest Academy proved to be a huge success. New student orientation along with returning student informational sessions were held in preparation for the Aug. 25 start of the new school year.

CCA Principal Karl Mueller says the school has an enrollment of roughly 2,300 students. This year also marks one of the largest incoming freshman classes to date.

There was no lottery in the selection of ninth-graders.

A third assistant principal will be named in addition to assistant principals Bernard Steinberger and Corey Bess. Former CCA Assistant Principal Jeff Copeland is now principal at Diegueño Middle School.

This will be the first full year at the school for Assistant Principal Bess. He said he is excited to be part of the team, especially since he is a product of the San Dieguito Union High School District.

This isn’t a tale from Hollywood. In fact, it’s exactly what happened when a cybersecurity group of researchers used the internet to hack into a Jeep Cherokee’s computer system. Of course, the radio, equipped with the entertainment system UConnect, had all the bells and whistles

a consumer could want… including WiFi and internet. And it was precisely those features that allowed hackers to get into the vehicle’s computer and command its steering, brakes and the engine.

That’s an incredibly scary thought in this day and age as cyberattacks are nearly rampant. We’ve all heard of the security breaches at stores like Home Depot and Target; now, hackers can even take over a citizen’s car if they want to. The proverbial doors are wide open.

The story original debuted at Wired magazine (7/21/2015). Among other things, researchers disabled the brakes of the Jeep Cherokee in question, driven by one of the technology reporters. The vehicle careened into a ditch as a result.

Fortunately, the hack was controlled and no one was injured.

fly, through the internet.

Fiat Chrysler issued a software patch as soon as the issue became public. As a result of the potential threat, the manufacturer issued a recall for 1.4 million vehicles to address the bug. Fiat Chrysler owners don’t have to take in their vehicles for the patch; instead they will receive a USB drive with a software update they can do themselves right from the dash of their vehicle thanks in part to – that’s right – the internet.

In a reassuring twist, the researchers did note that the hack was certainly not easy to perform. It took one year of sophisticated reprogramming including multiple attempts to actually hack the vehicle. So, the good news is that if you’re driving an affected Jeep according to the list below, you’re more than likely safe – for now. Of course, it’s a good idea to get your patch right away.

Affected vehicles include: 2013-2015 MY Dodge Viper specialty vehicles

2013-2015 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups 2013-2015 Ram 3500, 4500, 5500 Chassis Cabs 2014-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Cherokee SUVs 2014-2015 Dodge Durango SUVs 2015 MY Chrysler 200, Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger sedans 2015 Dodge Challenger sports coupes For more information on the UConnect security update, click here.

The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court.

The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority.

A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: 09/8/2015 Time: 11:00 A.M. Dept.: PC-1.

Address of court: 1409 Fourth Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101.

crossword

hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney.

If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code.

Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law.

You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250. A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk.

risks involved in bidding at a trustee auction. 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 714-730-2727 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-15-657798-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. QUALITY MAY BE CONSIDERED A DEBT COLLECTOR ATTEMPTING TO COLLECT A DEBT AND ANY INFORMATION OBTAINED WILL BE USED FOR THAT PURPOSE.

Healthy Food lessons for Back to School — Part 2 KITCHEN SHRINK CATHARINE KAUFMAN Now that school’s back in full force, students need to buckle down and fuel their brains with high-octane foods.

That means hearty breakfasts to jump-start the brain wiring, loads of leafy greens and Technicolor berries to tune up focus and concentration, along with healthful herbs and teas to spark energy levels and memory. Even young minds have trouble remembering facts, figures, names and concepts.

As a community college professor, I taught my students five tips to help them remember mounds of materials. One student, who didn’t do well on a midterm, told me that even though he followed my five tips religiously, his recall failed him. He then rattled off the tips: that he visualized concepts, used mnemonic devices and got plenty of sleep.

But then with a glint in his eye, he said he forgot the other two tips.

Here’s a list of choice foods to put the skids on lethargy and distraction, along with boosting memory.

Breakfast of Champions Eat this meal like a king or queen, lunch like a duke or duchess and dine like a pauper. Food gurus, school administrators, teachers, athletes and smart moms and dads realize that breakfast is hands down the most important meal of the day for shifting the brain into high gear. Whole wheat breads, muffins and energy bars have been found to channel mental focus; old-fashioned oatmeal is a nutritional source of glucose to sustain brainpower throughout the morning; organic yogurt, berries and bananas, an omega-3 breakfast pizza with smoked salmon and feta cheese, and especially a flaxseed smoothie loaded with alpha-linolenic acid will dial up mental performance and repair stressed brain cells.

Tea(chers) If coffee is not your cup of tea, try a steaming brew of yerba mate. These South American tea leaves will perk up the brain similar to a caffeine-infused drink, but without the energy crash.

Minty Walnut Pesto Brainy Berries Blueberries are packed with a variety of micronutrients, including vitamins B6, C and K, along with manganese, antioxidant pigments

and phytochemicals. These are attributed to enhancing long-term memory and cognitive processing, along with shielding the brain from free-radical attack. So toss them on your pancakes, cereal, salads, ice cream and yogurt, and rejoice.

The açaí (pronounced ah-sigh-eeh, meaning “fruit that cries”) is another brainy berry. Packed with antioxidants, omega fatty acids, amino acids, fiber, vitamins A, B6, C and E, iron and calcium this little gem has been linked to boosting mental performance, in addition to staving off age-related brain ailments. As a Brazilian import, the açaí is only available as a juice, fruit pulp or freezedried powder. Its rich taste, blending purple berries with bittersweet chocolate, makes it delightful in smoothies and the traditional Brazilian frozen açaí bowls.

Salad Smarts Popeye, the fictional comic strip character endowed with brilliant problem-solving skills and investigative powers along with scientific savvy (and impressive forearms), can surely attribute these talents to the large doses of spinach he consumed. A neurological study has shown that those who eat two or more servings of leafy green vegetables a day significantly improved mental focus.

Memory Mentors — Jot Them Down Rosemary, the aromatic evergreen of Mediterranean roots, not only jazzes up boring chicken and tames the gamey flavor of lamb, but also snaps memory back into shape.

Rosemary contains carnosic acid, which has been found to ward off free radicals bombarding the brain.

Also, mint has been linked to hiking concentration, and the ability to recall information. So before an exam or test chew a refreshing mint leaf, sip a cool glass of mintinfused H2O, or suck on a natural mint candy to improve test scores.

Walk and Chew Gum Although not a food per se, chewing gum has been found to ratchet up alertness during a tense project or test.

For a multitasking dish that will tweak the taste buds and the brain cells, whip up this riff on pesto that is sure to pass the grade. Where possible, use organics here.

MINTY WALNUT PESTO 1 1/2 cups fresh basil leaves 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves 1/3 cup walnut pieces 1 large garlic clove Coarse sea salt and cracked black pepper to taste 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese In food processor or blender, combine basil, mint, walnuts, garlic, salt and pepper, and blend until minced. Slowly add a stream of oil until the mixture forms a smooth, creamy texture. Place in a glass bowl and fold in the cheese. Blend with your favorite pasta or use as a spread for paninis or sandwiches. Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 days.

summer, an estimated 4,600 calories a day.

The team staff helped work with parents to understand what the boys need to refuel their bodies to balance what they burn.

The team has also benefited from a brand-new, top-notch weight room at the school.

“We have as fine a facility as any private school in the county,” Gladnick said.

The team has just one NCAA Division 1 player this year with senior Steve Mason, who has received a scholarship to play for San Diego State University. The defensive end is 6 feet, 7 inches, and 260 pounds.

“He’s a very gifted athlete, a rare kid who can be as good as he wants to be,” Gladnick said. “We have great hopes for him at the next level.”

He said he is grateful for the incredible support he receives from the administration,

the athletic director and mostly the parents.

They had a very successful golf fundraiser, and recently a “Mommy Football” event had 60 moms playing football on a Friday night, which Gladnick said was great to see.

Gladnic said he loves how high school football can bring a community together and he’s glad to see that it’s been happening in Carmel Valley.

A game that always brings out the crowd is the annual match-up with Cathedral Catholic, the “Battle for Del Mar Heights Road.” This year’s game will be held at 7 p.m. Sept. 11 at Falcon Stadium, and there will be patriotic pre-game festivities to honor the day.

The Falcons team opens its season under the Friday night lights on Aug. 28 at Steele Canyon.
