‘Stop underestimating our students’

San Dieguito parent petition calls for a special education overhaul Breeders’ Cup statues evoke “The Art of the Horse.” A7

Lifestyle

BY KAREN BILLING Parents of special education students made their voices heard on June 8, protesting before the San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) meeting and continuing on to the SDUHSD board room where they handed over a petition alleging unequal treatment and facilities for special education students. “Stop segregating our students, stop ignoring our students, stop underestimating our students, stop treating our children as unequal and undeserving,” La Costa Canyon parent Janet Schenker said, wearing a red shirt with a stop sign emblazoned on the front. The parents’ 41-page petition outlined the many ways they hope the district can reform special education programs in the district, as well as the adult transition program school (ATP), calling out an “inadequate” curriculum, too low expectations and a lack of equal treatment in facilities planning. If the district does not respond to the petition’s requests, the parents may consider filing a complaint with the Office of Civil Rights. Parents of students with disabilities have spoken out on their concerns about the special education program several times over the last few years — resulting in the formation of a special education parent forum in the summer of 2016. The forum met several times over the last year. “The message here is despite some parent input, we are not SEE STUDENTS, A26

San Dieguito board member’s bid to end CIF sports defeated BY KAREN BILLING San Dieguito Union School District (SDUHSD) board trustee John Salazar voted against the district high schools competing in CIF sports in the 2017-18 school year until the district fixes what he believes is “broken.” At the June 8 SDUHSD board meeting, Salazar said that the CIF has 16 operating principles of “Pursuing Victory with Honor” and he does not believe the district is following those principles — those that include promoting sportsmanship, good character and maintaining responsibility for the quality and integrity of CIF programs. “I think there is a problem with our

sports, probably at all of the high schools,” Salazar said, referencing his concerns with pay for play, coach nepotism and coach affiliations with club teams. “A tremendous amount of time should be taken to clean it up.” When board members asked what it would mean if they did not approve the membership in the CIF San Diego Section, SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill replied simply that: “It would be the end of interscholastic sports.” Salazar responded: “Good” and many parents in the room applauded. “I appreciate the energy in the room but I SEE CIF, A24

Rentals issue in Del Mar sparks long-promised lawsuit BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Del Mar’s fractious debate over vacation rentals is back on the front burner, with a lawsuit filed in state court and the city council poised to plot its next steps toward a new long-term policy.

A coalition of Del Mar residents filed suit on June 1 in San Diego Superior Court, challenging the city council’s ruling in April that Del Mar’s 40-year-old planning documents do not allow short-term rentals (STRs). The council confined its ruling to rentals of

less than 30 days and applied it to every residential area in the city except for one side of a two-block stretch of Stratford Court that does not include any rental homes. The June lawsuit characterizes that action as an outright ban. SEE RENTALS, A23

Sky’s the Limit

Solana Beach School District breaks ground on new Skyline campus BY KAREN BILLING The Solana Beach School District (SBSD) celebrated the groundbreaking of the new Skyline Elementary School under sunny skies on Friday, June 9. “This is an exciting day for the Solana Beach School District, for our Skyline students and parents and for the whole community of Solana Beach,” said SBSD Superintendent Terry Decker before a group plunged ceremonial shovels into the dirt. “The work that begins today reflects a vision for the future and is a culmination of much hard work.” The 62-year-old campus will be completely demolished and rebuilt in one year, welcoming students back in fall 2018. During construction, Skyline students will be housed in Earl Warren Middle School’s interim campus across the street. Decker said many thanks go out to the community members who understood the importance of public education and supported the passage of Measure JJ in November 2016 with almost 66 percent of the vote, “sending the district on a path to assure that every child in the Solana Beach School District has world-class facilities in which to learn.”

Solana Beach will see the lion’s share of Measure JJ’s work as, following Skyline’s reconstruction, Solana Vista Elementary School will be the next to be rebuilt from the ground up. “With the help of our community, today we mark the beginning of a new chapter as we break ground on Skyline School 2.0,” said Dr. Debra Schade, president of the SBSD board. “We say goodbye to a 62- year-old friend who welcomed students each fall and provided cherished memories for thousands. We say hello to the dream of a state-of-the-art school that will encompass new technology, flexible learning spaces and an environment of discovery and achievement for all students.” Davy Architecture has been working on the design of the school since late 2015 and Skyline Principal Lisa Denham said she has been looking forward to the groundbreaking day for a long time. “For the past 61 years, Skyline School has been a place where memories and community spirit run deep; where close to 25,000 students have grown up and where many of those same students have found themselves back here in SEE SKYLINE, A26

Del Mar resident retraces Roosevelt’s footsteps in the Amazon

BY SEBASTIAN MONTES There were times when Del Mar resident Marc André Meyers — drenched in sweat, swarmed by mosquitoes and bees, malaria and cannibals an ever-present danger — knew the desperate straits in which Teddy Roosevelt had found himself a century earlier. The former U.S. president, still smarting from his humiliating defeat in the 1912 election two years prior, had ventured into an uncharted corner of the Amazon, down a tributary known ominously as the River of Doubt. Malaria-stricken and hobbled by an infected gash in one leg, Roosevelt, in his delirium, commanded his fellow expeditioners to forge ahead rather than to doom them to the fate to which he was certain he had fallen. When Meyers retraced that harrowing journey 100 years later, his crew did so as faithfully as possible — navigating the river in flimsy pack canoes, portaging around boulder-choked rapids, slogging days on end through the jungle with mules and machetes. “We didn’t want to use any modern equipment. We didn’t have a doctor. We didn’t have anything,” he recalled one recent morning in his office at UC San Diego, where he is a professor in material science. “We almost couldn’t get through. If we had been one more day without water, we would have

COURTESY

Marc André Meyer — a Del Mar resident and professor at UC San Diego —ventured into the Amazon in 2014 and 2015 to recreate Teddy Roosevelt’s famous 1914 expedition. Meyers details his nearly fatal journey in his book River of Doubt, which he wrote for a presentation earlier this year to The Explorers Club in New York City died.” For the past 30 years, Meyers’ work has focused on the effects of dynamic events like explosions in order to lay the foundation for new types of armor. Besides his many scientific papers, he has penned several novels, many of them set in South America. That passion dates back to his childhood in Brazil, where his engineer father from Luxembourg had taken the family in order to build a steel plant in the jungle. It was there that he developed a fascination for the

Amazon and the tribes living in it. But it wasn’t until decades later, when he read Candace Millard’s 2006 book on Roosevelt’s expedition that he plotted his return. “I turned the last page and said, ‘I have to do this,’” Meyers said. The 1914 expedition was co-led by Candido Rondon, an army colonel and legendary Brazilian explorer. He had built his renown in part by being among the first to lay telegraph lines across huge swaths of once-impenetrable jungle. Rondon had

been at it for 10 years when Theodore Roosevelt arrived in South America to give a series of lectures. “Roosevelt was not in a very good financial position. He was more of a dreamer and doer and politician than he was a businessman,” Meyers said. “When he arrived in Rio de Janeiro, one of the ministers told him about a river that no one had ever gone down. Roosevelt being like he was — hotheaded —immediately said yes. He didn’t give it much thought.” What ensued is now known as the Rondon-Roosevelt Scientific Expedition, a plan to collect specimens and chart the river for about five months that turned into Roosevelt’s brush with death. Whereas Millard detailed the expedition with a historian’s precision, Meyers’ account takes a scientist’s and explorer’s tack of recreating every step — something that had never before been tried. His journey had two goals beyond retracing the original: to collect plant and animal specimens for research into their material structure and to measure the many environmental changes mankind has wrought over the intervening century. Meyers split his effort into two parts: the river portion in 2014 and the land portions in 2015. In some parts, his crew included Jeffrey Lehmann, cinematographer and a fourth-generation Del Mar resident.

The challenges they faced went far beyond topography and environment. “There is a lot of anti-American sentiment because they have this idea that Americans want to take over the Amazon,” Meyers said. “We almost got into it with the same tribe that gave Rondon and Roosevelt problems. Their chief is not a very nice guy. He didn’t let us go through their land. He threatened to arrest us. He sent his thugs after us. They were cannibals, and the chief even hinted at this to us.” When word of his journey got out, it earned him an invitation to speak to the San Diego chapter of The Explorers Club. His tale went over so well that he was called up to the club’s hallowed chambers in New York City. His manuscript — part diary, part travelogue, part scientific compendium — was written for that presentation. Meyers has also published several papers on the feathers, fish scales and seeds collected during his journey. He even built a special gauge to measure the force of the piranha’s bite. But after all that, one portion of the Rondon-Roosevelt expedition remains to be retraced. Meyers plans to finish that off this summer, and hopefully rally support for a monument to the Rondon-Roosevelt expedition. River of Doubt: Reliving the Epic Amazon Journey of Roosevelt and Rondon on its Centennial is available in paperback via Amazon.com.

Local doctor's new book promotes healthy lifestyle BY JOE TASH As a practicing cardiologist, Dr. Bret Scher is fully versed on the tools of modern medicine, from drugs to tests to procedures for addressing a variety of ailments. But his fondest dream is that patients won’t develop the conditions that require his intervention in the first place. Scher, a Carmel Valley resident, has put the knowledge he has gained over 23 years of practicing medicine, as well as his observations and research, into a new book: “Your Best Health Ever! The Cardiologist’s Surprisingly Simple Guide to What Really Works.” The self-published paperback volume came out about two months ago, and is available on Amazon.com and on Scher’s website, www.drbretscher.com. In the book, Scher outlines what he calls the five “pillars” of good health, which include developing the correct mindset to achieve better health, good nutrition, movement and exercise, stress management and good sleep habits, and building community. He also details how people can set realistic goals for improved health and achieve them. While he does not advocate abandoning life-saving drugs or surgery for those who need them, he is convinced that the pendulum has swung too far toward medical intervention, rather than emphasizing healthy lifestyles that can prevent disease. “I think medicine has gone far too much to the side of a pill for every problem,” he said. “It’s definitely taken the place of prevention. Good health is preventing a problem in the first place.” Along with his book, Scher writes a blog and is developing a membership website that will feature videos on a variety of health-related topics, from food and cooking to Buddhist meditation. Three days each week, he sees patients at Sharp Rees Steely clinics in the Grossmont area and Kearny Mesa. The other two days are devoted to his healthy lifestyle practice, Boundless Health, talking to clients from an office in Solana Beach. Many of his lifestyle consultations take place over Skype, Scher said. One of the most important elements of improving health, said Scher, is for patients to develop a mindset that will allow them to change their health-related habits, whether it is the food they eat, the exercise they perform or the sleep they get. “We need to believe that we can make the changes needed to be healthy, and we need to know that we can succeed,” wrote Scher in the book. “With that belief, we can transform our lives. Without it, all the knowledge in the world is not enough.” Along with pushing back against the tendency to over-prescribe certain drugs such as statins, Scher said some health-related myths need to be

debunked. For example, he said there is a commonly held belief that breakfast is the most important meal of the day and everyone should eat it. In fact, he said there is evidence that skipping breakfast can actually help with such things as weight loss and control of blood sugar levels for diabetics. Even doctors don’t always practice the best health habits, he said. In a doctor’s lounge at a local hospital, he said, he recently observed a tray of bagels, donuts and muffins set out for the physicians. “That’s absurd,” he said. “We’ve been trained that food is about pleasure and not about health.” Scher, 44,and his wife, Amy, have two children, ages 7 and 4. He said he tries to set a good example for his kids, such as fixing them healthy grilled cheese sandwiches on multi-grain bread, that include a layer of veggies, avocado and a slice of cheese. A former triathlete, Scher said he still runs for physical and mental health, and also does interval and resistance training. Other favorite activities include golf and hiking. He insisted that improving health is something everyone can do if they start with the proper mental attitude. “You have to change how you think about your health. That’s where it all starts,” he said.

TPHS Robotics Team #3647 Millennium Falcons finishes stellar year

BY JONATHAN TATOR Torrey Pines High School’s Robotics Team #3647 Millennium Falcons finished up with their strongest year to date. Headed by senior Team Captain Nicole Martindale, the team finished #1 overall out of 66 teams, as well as Alliance Captain at the San Diego Regionals presented by Qualcomm, held at the Del Mar Fairgrounds in March.

Eliminated in the first round of playoffs due to an untimely rope snap, literally at the last second, they nonetheless earned an invitation to the 2017 FIRST Robotics Championships in Houston, Texas in April. The team performed well enough to qualify for the playoffs and advanced through quarterfinals into the semifinal round of their division where their alliance was

eventually defeated. Nicole was assisted by a whole team of talented student/engineers and they look poised for future success as the team primarily consists of underclassmen. Millennium Falcon Team Captains next year will be Surya Madhan and Derek Rusher. Go Falcons! — Jonathan Tator is a TPHS math teacher and Robotics Team advisor

Breeders’ Cup statues evoke ‘The Art of the Horse’ BY SEBASTIAN MONTES The Torrie horses are coming. Final touches are being put on the 20 life-sized statues that will commemorate the Breeders’ Cup’s first-ever running at the Del Mar Race Track and, in the next few weeks, will make their way to their perches throughout San Diego County, standing guard as an emblem of equine excellence until the two-day extravaganza in November has come and gone. For more than 30 years, the Breeders’ Cup has crowned the ultimate champion of the sport of kings, with the victors of the cup’s top-tier races receiving trophies based on the famed “Torrie horse” statue that has for nearly two centuries resided at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. Those trophies measure a mere 11 inches high. For the first time in the race’s history, life-sized copies of the Torrie horse have been made for this year’s cup, part of the campaign that San Diego’s horse-racing community is rolling out to promote the seminal event, which is expected to draw as many as 100,000 visitors and generate more than $75 million. The “Art of the Horse” campaign put 20 Torrie horse statues up for sponsorship. Those sponsors chose the location and the artist to paint their statue. Some of the Torrie horses will go up for auction after the Breeders’

Cup, others will remain with their owners. “We hope to make this a really special Breeders’ Cup so that they want to come back again and again,” said Craig Dado of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, which is sponsoring one of the statues. “So we’re doing everything we can do to do the extra stuff. The Art of the Horse is one part of that.” The 150-pound fiberglass replicas — 87 inches tall, 87 inches long and 33 inches wide — were made in Chicago then brought to Del Mar last month, where they were picked up by their appointed artist. Once painted, the statues went to a Los Angeles warehouse to be sealed in a special coating that will protect them for generations to come. Two of the statues will go up at the race track. Other locations include Cedros Avenue in Solana Beach, the Fairmont Grand Del Mar hotel in Carmel Valley, downtown San Diego, the Lodge at Torrey Pines, The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe and Birch Aquarium. Closer to the race track, statues will go up at Red Tracton’s and Pamplemousse Grille, and the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce is placing one along the 101 corridor. As Bing Bush, Jr., director of a committee promoting this year’s cup, was recruiting those sponsors, he decided to pony up the $15,000 with a

Artist Cheryl Pelly painted two of the 20 Torrie horse statues that will commemorate Del Mar’s first-ever running of the Breeders’ Cup.

The statue on the right will be placed on Cedros Avenue in Solana Beach until the cup ends in November, then will head to its permanent home in Arizona. few friends — Dan Sbicca, Kenny Baca and Jeffrey Stoke — and donate a statue to the City of Del Mar in perpetuity. “It felt to me like Del Mar, as the host community, should have one of the horses. It just felt like a good fit, a natural fit, for our community,” said Bush, a local lawyer and horse owner. “We’ve never had anything on the scale of what we’re having here with

the Breeders’ Cup. This is a truly national and international event. So we’re taking unprecedented actions for an unprecedented event.” The Del Mar City Council last week approved the statue’s temporary spot in Seagrove Park, at the end of 15th Street. Its design — dubbed “Gold Coast” by artist Cheryl Pelly, a dressage competitor and former Del Mar resident — is meant to evoke Del Mar’s

coastline both at sunrise and sunset. On one side, its color goes from aluminum to 24-karat gold flake, representing the morning sun as it breaks through a cool, coastal fog. The gradation is reversed on the other side, representing the sun’s descent into the Pacific. Three, and possibly four, more Torrie horses will make their home in downtown Del Mar. The L’auberge Hotel and Del Mar Plaza have each sponsored a statue, and the Del Mar Village Association has secured a sponsor for one at the intersection of Camino del Mar and 15th Street. A sponsor for another statue at the same intersection — in front of the Tasting Room — is still being sought. The history of the Torrie horse reaches back to the late 1580s, when the sculptor Giovanni da Bologna (also referred to as Giambologna) — widely considered the second-greatest of his century, behind only Michelangelo — crafted a horse statue in solid bronze. Its style — écorché— depicts the horse as though it has no skin, capturing every sinew and muscle fiber in exacting detail. Only four known copies were ever made.

Two TPHS students lead effort to help save lives

2017 Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society college scholarship winners announced At its annual installation dinner meeting at Tony’s Jacal, the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society proudly announced and introduced the winners of the 2017 Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society college scholarships, Luis Canales and Joselin Aragon. These two young people have volunteered extensively in the community and received outstanding grades in their high school studies. They will both be attending San Marcos State in the fall. Congratulations to them and to their families.

Two Torrey Pines High School students have been working hard to raise awareness about sudden cardiac arrest in youth, and fundraise for life-saving equipment, through a club at the school. Jacob Li (sophomore) and Ryan Poe (junior) launched Torrey Pines Screen Your Teen this year after they were both diagnosed in 2014 with heart abnormalities that could have led to sudden cardiac arrest. Their message is important. Sudden cardiac arrest in youth is the second highest medical cause of death in youth under the age of 25. It is also the number one killer of student athletes. Because it can happen to anyone, anytime, anywhere, time is of the essence. The average response time for a first responder, after the initial call to 911, is 8-12 minutes. For each minute defibrillation is delayed, the chance of survival decreases approximately 10 percent. It’s crucial to have Automated External Defibrillators (AEDs) on hand. Ryan reveals, “AEDs are the only device that will save lives in the event of Sudden Cardiac Arrest.” With so many athletes at the school, Jacob and Ryan saw a need for these devices. They began fundraising in February for three additional AEDs on campus, to support the entire local community. There was an immediate response from the Torrey Pines High School Foundation and the Torrey Pines athletic teams raised enough funds to cover the cost of the first AED. Installation is anticipated at the football field this month. In order to raise money toward the additional AEDs, the club held a two-day fundraiser with Jersey Mike’s Del Mar, kicking off the event on June 1 at the Torrey Pines Athletic Physicals Night. Students conducted an information session about sudden cardiac arrest and upcoming free teen heart screenings through Eric Paredes Save A Life Foundation. Torrey Pines is honored to host a free teen heart screening scheduled for March

25, 2018. Jersey Mike’s Del Mar supported the event with coupons and a two-day fundraiser give-back that generated nearly $400 toward the campaign. Cathy Brown, area director and franchise owner, helped coordinate the fundraiser stated, “Jersey Mike’s Del Mar is excited to partner with Torrey Pines students, Ryan and Jacob to raise funds for AEDs on campus. Increasing awareness of Sudden Cardiac Arrest in youth is an important and potentially life-saving initiative.” “It’s great to have the opportunity to pay it forward in a very real way at Torrey Pines,” says Jacob. “After a free heart screening in 2014, I was diagnosed with a heart abnormality and subsequently had surgery. Today, I am a competitive basketball player, I surf and snowboard. Without that diagnosis, I could have been in need of an AED to save my life. I hope that additional AEDs on our campus will help the community be safer for those who have undetected heart conditions.”

A scam grows in La Jolla in Del Mar author’s novel ‘Crimes Against a Book Club’ BY SEBASTIAN MONTES n hindsight, a comedic crime caper set in La Jolla was the only story that could’ve spilled out of her. When Yale Law School graduate and criminal law attorney Kathy Cooperman wasn’t representing white-collar defendants — of which La Jolla hardly has a shortage — she was rubbing elbows at playgrounds with fellow moms in designer track suits, bedecked in bling and Hermes bags. No wonder, then, that the now-Del Mar resident’s debut novel — Crimes Against a Book Club —centers on a cabal of well-heeled La Jolla ladies swindling other, better-heeled La Jolla women. Several years removed from the La Jolla scene, she jokes now that she’s not trying to tear down the capitalist world order — just maybe to dress down some of La Jolla’s ostentatious wealth. “In a way, the scam is a way to do that,” she said. Said scam is as follows: a group of women — each mired in their own crisis — concoct a scheme to bilk La Jolla’s beauty-obsessed with Pond’s cream gussied up with just a dash of a decidedly illegal ingredient that sparks its users out of their domesticated doldrums.

“

I see women busting their asses to look just right, to look perfect, and it’s just like, ‘Wow, that’s a lot of pressure.’ There’s got to be a lot of pain in there. People working that hard, there’s got to be some real fear.

”

But while Crimes is an implicit critique of wealthy excesses, it is no cheap swipe nor simple revenge fantasy. Characters cast first as caricatures arrive before long at a place of empathy as the reader comes to understand their struggles — the inevitable creep of old age, the dynamics of spousal disdain — and how they respond to the extremes driving them. “I see women busting their asses to look just right, to look perfect, and it’s just like, ‘Wow, that’s a lot of pressure.’ There’s got to be a lot of pain in there.

that hard, there’s got to be some real fear,” she said. Characters include: Annie, the chemist, anxious and awkward and born into a family of addicts, consumed by the hopeless desperation of paying for her autistic son’s therapy. Sarah, the suave lawyer who, after quitting her high-profile job, discovers that she can no longer afford her fertility drugs. Annie’s mother Chloe, a former actress and “sort of a really sympathetic drunk,” who was too self-involved to be a good

mom when Annie was a child, but who makes the ultimate sacrifice when her daughter’s scam unravels in the novel’s inevitable reckoning. Notice a trend? It may come as no surprise, then, to learn that Cooperman wrote the entirety of the book while pregnant with her fourth child. “I think that’s why the maternal themes in there are really strong,” she said. “One woman is doing it to protect her son. The other woman’s doing it so that she can get pregnant. And the grandmother does it to shield her daughter.” Cooperman’s authorial debut is the product of dogged persistence. After meeting initial rejection —followed by a second novel’s rebuke — she was on the verge of abandoning her dream to write. But she kept faith in the germ of her idea, and years later returned for a second round of editing and promotion. That persistence culminated in the green-light call from Amazon last year that left her so elated that she drove away from

a gas station with the pump still in her car. Crimes was available on Amazon’s free Kindle month in April, then went up for sale on May 1, so far racking up hundreds of 4and 5-star reviews for Cooperman’s ability to weave levity into profound themes. Think a quirkier Liane Moriarty. Heady stuff for something Cooperman, who spent four years performing improvisational comedy, best describes as “comedy beach reading.” “I’d like to think it’s not shallow comedy, but I’m not trying to do something terribly deep, either. Yeah, I talk about themes that I care about, but hopefully in a way that’s going to make people laugh,” she said. “I love dense literature, but when I read it my instinct after a while is, ‘Somebody throw a pie or something.’ That’s just where my brain goes.” Crimes Against a Book Club (Lake Union Publishing) is available at www.amazon.com.

La Jolla Rabbi Philip Graubart joins San Diego Jewish Academy

Del Mar Heights students take Del Mar history tour BY KAREN POWELL Del Mar Mayor Terry Sinnott welcomed the third grade classes from Del Mar Heights Elementary School on June 6. The students and teachers walked to the Visitor Center on Camino Del Mar where the Mayor gave an introduction and explanation of local government and the historically significant places in town. The students have been studying local history and the tour is the final chapter in the program. The stroll through town had stops at the Del Mar Library (formerly the first church in Del Mar) and the recently renovated historic photo gallery upstairs in the iconic Stratford Square Building. There was a refreshment break at Seaside Yogurt where proprietor John treated the children to a taste of their choice, then a procession on to the old Train Station where owner Rande Turner gave gave an insider’s view of the station manager’s living quarters.

An in-depth tour of the Lifeguard Station and Safety Center provided insight into a lifeguard’s duties and and their state-of-the art equipment. A highlight at the end of the day was a visit from the Del Mar Fire Department and the Park Ranger at Powerhouse Park. A question and answer period with the first responders allowed the

children to learn about the various services they provide, and allowed them to have a hands-on experience with the fire truck and Ranger vehicle. Following the action-packed day the students returned to school via school district busses. The annual 3rd grade history tour started over 10 years ago with a suggestion from the Del Mar Village Association which is pleased to sponsor the event each year.

Rabbi Philip Graubart, former Senior Rabbi of La Jolla’s Congregation Beth El, has been named as the next Director of the Advanced Institute for Judaic Studies (AIJS) and San Diego Jewish Academy’s (SDJA) first-ever “Chief Jewish Officer.” San Diego Jewish Academy is located in Carmel Valley. “Rabbi Graubart has had a stellar career as a congregational rabbi for Congregation Beth El in La Jolla,” said Chaim Heller, SDJA’s Head of School. “He has also been a teacher and consultant at the Shalom Hartman Institute in Jerusalem, and has been a frequent lecturer and teacher at SDJA over the past few years.” The primary purpose of the Academy’s Advanced Institute for Judaic Studies is to provide top-tier Judaic education for their students. SDJA is also looking to build a school-community connection over Jewish learning. “Our students will benefit from Rabbi Graubart’s excellent teaching, warm and compassionate soul, and keen sense of humor,” said Heller. “He will be engaging with students in a variety of ways, including direct teaching, weekly sessions of ‘ask the Rabbi,’ teaching our faculty, leading ‘drop-in’ Torah study for parents,

Rabbi Philip Graubart and more.” “I’m honored and thrilled to be joining the SDJA team beginning this fall,” said Rabbi Graubart. “SDJA is the institution that gave my children their essential Jewish identities. The Academy’s faculty, students and staff taught them to appreciate and respect different approaches to Judaism, to value ethical Jewish living, to place Israel at the center of their Jewish identities, to love learning in all its forms, and to see life as a constant journey toward the sacred. I’m so grateful to be given the opportunity to help impart these great lessons to a new generation of students.” Visit www.sdja.com

Cancer survivor hopes to spread positivity at Scripps Encinitas event BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY For Dennis Baca, a cancer diagnosis did not mean all hope was lost. It was a chance for experts to fix a problem and for him to inspire others. Last August, the tow truck driver began experiencing severe exhaustion, which he attributed to a persistent cough. He decided to visit a doctor, who ordered blood tests and soon after informed Baca he had colorectal cancer and had likely been unknowingly fighting it for about two years. He underwent surgery the next day. “My reaction was, ‘You found it, you know what to do with it, you know how to fix it,’” said 59-year-old Baca, who lives in Oceanside. “In the meantime, my wife was breaking down completely. With me still being upbeat about things, it helped both of us.” Baca’s surgeon, Dr. Ujwala Rajgopal, general surgeon at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas, commended Baca for his attitude. “He had a remarkably calm demeanor, in spite of knowing that he had a large mass in his colon,” she said. Baca is hoping to spread that positivity by sharing his story at a public cancer survivors day event June 24 at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas. The event takes place from 10 a.m. to noon at the Scripps Encinitas Conference Center, 354 Santa Fe Drive. It will include stories from survivors, presentations on advances in cancer care and research, complimentary brunch and live entertainment. Baca said he wants people to “understand that [cancer] is not such a bad thing after all.” “When people get told they have cancer,

their day, all of a sudden, goes to crap,” he said. “I understand that. That’s the day someone said you had a problem, but they could also fix it. That’s actually not such a bad day. That’s a pretty good day in my world.” Baca completed chemotherapy treatments about three months ago and is currently attending follow-up appointments and scans. Even through the treatment, he’s kept up an active lifestyle, going on six-mile hikes and picking up an amateur radio hobby as part of his volunteer work with Oceanside’s emergency response team. He said he’s able to continue living his life, even with all of the appointments, because of his positive attitude. “It helps kicks things down the road a lot easier and faster,” he said. The hardest thing for him, he said, was following instructions to take six months off work. He hopes to return to work sometime this year. Rajgopal encourages people to receive colorectal cancer screening when they turn 50. “Colorectal cancer is preventable if it is caught early, when it is a polyp,” she said. “Once a polypectomy is done, that particular polyp will never become cancer as it is resected. Colonoscopy is the gold standard. It is completed within half an hour. However, if it is not possible to get a colonoscopy done, any form of colorectal screening is better than no screening. There are a variety of other methods for screening with radiology virtual colonography and stool DNA tests. It is important to get the screening done and follow up on the results with the doctor.”

Blind surfers ride the waves in Carlsbad BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY When Nicole Bissett returned to her home of San Diego after a year away for work, she knew the beach would be one of the first places she would visit. On June 4, she climbed on her surfboard, paddled out in the water and stood up, catching waves and feeling free from life’s stresses. She felt happy and safe, even though she was in complete darkness. Bissett has been legally blind since birth. The Mira Mesa woman began surfing a few years ago with the San Diego Blind Community Center, and took part in a the 22nd annual Blind Surf event on Sunday at South Ponto Beach in Carlsbad. “I gotta have me some beach. I love it. It feels great, nice and refreshing to have some time outside. I love anything to do with the ocean,” she said. “Everybody thinks, ‘Oh, you’re blind. You’re in a prison of darkness.’ It’s not like that. It’s all in what you make it and your attitude toward life. If you want to feel sorry for yourself, sure, that option is there. But there’s a lot to do in life.” Bissett was one of 15 blind and visually-impaired surfers who braved the waters at the event, where 105 volunteers from Swami’s Surfing Association assisted them on the shore and in the water. For each surfer, between five and seven volunteers surrounded them on all sides to guide them on the waves. Mikey Tom, who volunteers with Swami’s and has assisted at the event for four years, said Blind Surf is great for people who are not in the water often to “feel stoked” off being in the ocean, the

The Cardiff resident said he’ll sometimes ride waves with his eyes closed to have a similar experience as the blind. “It’s just someone experiencing something that I’ve never experienced on a wave,” he said. “Paddling out, closing my eyes, taking a wave and closing my eyes is a completely different feeling than having sight. Just to be able to pass that feeling off onto someone else, so someone else feels good about what they’re doing and get confidence for other things in their life, is great.” Matt Allen, owner of Maui Surf Academy in Encinitas, said working with the blind is a reminder of something regular surfers take advantage of. “I’ve definitely done it so much where surfing is comparable to a drug,” he said. “It’s like you always need more, get a little jaded and forget that it’s so amazing that we get to do this. For

them to step in and be out of their comfort zone, you get to feel that right alongside them and it kind of brings you back to the beginning of why you started surfing in the first place.” For many of the blind surfers, like Bissett, riding waves is not an everyday task. But Scott Leason has continued regularly surfing even after losing his sight more than two decades ago. Leason, 61, of City Heights, lost both of his eyes nearly 24 years ago when he was shot in the head by armed robbers while working at a convenience store. After recovering, he was determined to surf again, even through the new obstacles. Since then, he has won two world championships, one U.S. championship and has inspired the creation of sight-impaired surfing divisions. He will compete in his third International Surfing Association World Adaptive Surfing Championship this summer.

Scott Leason, a world champion blind surfer, and his coach Pat Weber amp up volunteers at a Blind Surf event at South Ponto Beach in Carlsbad on June 4. Leason has worked with Surf Coach Pat Weber of the San Diego Surfing Academy for 16 years and considers Weber his “eyes” when he’s out in the water. “I totally have to listen to everything that he’s saying and execute his verbal commands,” he said. “My success to me is that he gets me in a wave, I pop up, I drop in and I’m standing.” Lucy Dolan, who surfed for the second time at the event, said she believes blind people can do anything they set their minds to. Even as she fell off her board, with the volunteers around to catch her, she continued smiling. “It was kind of hard today because I have a bad left leg, but I said I was going to get on there one way or another,” she said. “I was scared but all of the help around me made sure I stayed on that board and stayed safe.”

Walk for Sobriety to raise awareness June 17 BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY An event will raise awareness for those who are sober, going through recovery and their families. The fifth annual 5K Walk for Sobriety, hosted by the McAlister Institute, will take place June 17 at NTC Park at Liberty Station. Shane Poppen, board member of the McAlister Institute, believes this is an important event. “The Walk for Sobriety is an opportunity to bring help and hope to thousands of individuals and families braving the unforgiving cycle of addiction,” the Encinitas resident said, adding he has known people in his own life who have battled addiction. “Our goal is to save lives and beat addiction by illuminating the path to recovery and ensuring affordable, quality treatment for every individual and family who needs us.” He described the vibe for the day as “electric,” with hundreds of people who are in recovery or their supporters joining together to raise awareness. Tommy Sablan, producer of Jeff and the Show on KyXy, will serve as emcee. Proceeds from the event benefit the McAlister Institute, one of San Diego’s leading resources to help people and families affected by addition.

“Your tax-deductible donation helps bring life-saving services in substance abuse treatment, mental health counseling, life skills education, and vocational training to individuals who could not otherwise afford help,” Poppen said. The walk has raised more than $200,000 since it was launched in 2012. “Our goal is to save lives and beat addiction by illuminating the path to recovery and ensuring affordable, quality treatment for every individual and family who needs us,” said Jeanne McAlister, founder and CEO of McAlister Institute, in a statement. “Since 1977, hundreds of thousands of individuals suffering from addiction have passed through the doors of McAlister Institute, and not one of them – not one – has chosen to become an addict, any more than a person chooses to contract cancer or heart disease. In the same way, treatment solutions shouldn’t discriminate who gets help. That’s why we keep our doors open to everyone.” It will begin at 8 a.m. on June 17. People can sign up ahead of the event at http://bit.ly/2rXWZH6 or on the day. Individual registration costs between $5 and $35.

Del Mar resident named a vice president at Virtium Virtium, a leading solutions provider of solid-state drive (SSD) and memory solutions for the Industrial Hiep Pham Internet of Things (IIoT), recently announced the appointment of two vice presidents. Del Mar resident Hiep Pham is named vice president of research and development, as well as general manager of Virtium’s Vietnam operations, while Harold Teague is appointed vice president of engineering. Both Pham and Teague report directly to Gary Drossel, executive vice president of product development and strategy at Virtium. “Virtium is actively evolving its

intelligent, secure storage solutions to embrace the fast-growing IIoT space, so technological and operational expertise is an absolute imperative,” said Drossel. “Hiep and Harold embody that expertise, as evidenced by their decades of success applying engineering and management prowess to developing powerful, market-disrupting storage solutions. “These appointments add to Virtium’s strong customer commitment, while complementing the recent expansions of our field applications engineering and quality assurance teams. This expansion ensures optimal product quality and support. That support was validated recently through six separate audits of

Virtium by large international customers -- all resulting in 100 percent compliance with their stringent criteria for quality, security and processes.” Before joining Virtium, Pham co-founded a number of start-up technology companies. He successfully co-founded and built WIDCOMM, which was later acquired by Broadcom, into a world leader in Bluetooth software platform solutions. Before these positions, Pham was president of the San Diego research-and-development operations for Uniden Corp. He earned his Bachelor of Science in electrical engineering from McGill University and a Master of Science degree in communications from the University of Ottawa. He holds several technology patents.

Dwayne’s modern miracle medical treatment

Former Assistant U.S. Attorney to speak to Republican Women

Since his arrival at Helen Woodward Animal Center in early May, Dwayne, an orphan pup who had been horribly disfigured by abuse, has been living a true Cinderfella story, according to a Woodward Center press release. Thanks to the media, Dwayne’s tragic early life (subjected to kicking, beatings, and a crude wire muzzle), and his Tijuana rescue have become news throughout the world, leading to well-wishes and donations from as far away as Brunstatt, France. With over $40,000 donated towards medical needs, Dwayne began the first of many life-changing surgeries two weeks ago. Now a renowned stem cell therapy institute – Vet-Stem Biopharma – has stepped up to the plate to offer cutting-edge treatment to help Dwayne’s healing and put him on an even quicker path to his forever home. On May 22, Helen Woodward Animal Center Chief Veterinarian Dr. Patricia Carter performed the first of Dwayne’s medical procedures. One of many required lip surgeries, the facial reconstruction was necessary to repair the extreme mutilation of his nose and mouth, prevent loss of teeth, and to help him drink, eat and breathe more normally. Recently, Carter performed Dwayne’s second surgery, removing the ball of his right disjointed hip, in an attempt to even out his legs and help him develop a more normal gait. Many additional surgeries will follow including further facial reconstruction, removal of scar tissue, and attempts to realign a severely malformed

front elbow. But the healing time between each surgery can be extensive and the immune system can be compromised from so much surgery and downtime. Fortunately, Dr. Jeffrey Schaffer, Vet Stem veterinarian and head of professional services, was made aware of Dwayne’s situation by a colleague who had utilized the Center’s Companion Animal Hospital for her own pet and heard Dwayne’s story.

Vet-Stem Biopharma, the Poway-based organization founded in 2002 by owner and CEO Dr. Robert Harman, performed its early life-saving work almost exclusively on horses. Its technology, which harvests tissue from an injured animal and delivers the animal’s own healing stem cells back to the site of the injury and throughout the body by IV, is nothing short of a modern miracle. Over the last seven years, the treatment has been expanded to domestic dogs and cats. The procedure normally costs around $2,500. Moved by Dwayne’s story, however, Schaffer and the organization have offered to help the orphan dog at their own expense. “His story is heartbreaking,” stated Schaffer, “and we all have such a passion and a love for animals. We know the capabilities of this treatment and how it can help with his healing and really change his life.” During Dwayne’s recent hip surgery, Carter removed a small amount of fat tissue from his abdomen and Vet Stem went to work isolating the healing stem cells. Then Dwayne recently received his first stem cell therapy . “This is truly amazing medicine, explained Schaffer. “Because it is created from his own cells, there is no worry that his body will reject it. The treatment is truly one of the most innovative forms of therapy out there.” Those wishing to follow his story can find updates at animalcenter.org/news/ dwaynes-journey.

Hall Private Wealth Advisors Transparency and Fairness

ost of us never take the time to really understand our investment portfolio. When it comes to mutual funds and other investment products, we tend to familiarize with the fund provider and take their advertising as viable credibility. Most investors rely on their stockbroker or financial planner to provide advice without conflict. Think about that for a second; if your advisor is paid to transact in order to generate a commission, or if they’re paid more to recommend one product over another, what is the likelihood that they’re providing no-conflict advice?

a high probability that you have the same stock in all four funds. Fees range but one thing is certain: this is something that you can control. A typical fund will not disclose what is called Transaction Costs in their load structure, and high turnover causes higher transaction costs, which eat up your investment returns.

Mutual fund companies offer multiple varieties of funds, focused on different asset classes, regions and industries and when you take the time to dig down, you’ll find that there is a real lack of transparency with regard to two things: current holdings and actual fees. In addition, many mutual funds have the same stocks in their portfolio, leading to what is called overlap so if you own three or four funds from the same family, there’s

When Renting Out Your Home As A Vacation Rental...Did You Know? By Scott Held

Del Mar American Tigers take League and City Championships On Thursday, June 1, the Del Mar American Tigers beat the DMA White Sox 7-3 to win the championship game for the 2017 Del Mar American Little League title. The team went 19-1 during the regular season before going 3-0 during their post season run. On Saturday, June 3, they then went on to defeat the Del Mar National champion Cardinals, 7-0, to take the City Championship and retain the Del Mar Cup for another year.

We have all heard the story from our friends and neighbors about the guy who made $30,000 renting his home out for the month. While many of us dismiss the thought of renting our homes for the mere fact that we don’t want strangers living in our personal space – others are lured to go down the path of turning their home into a vacation rental. Typically, homeowners will utilize websites like VRBO or AIRBNB to facilitate the rental of their home. While these websites do offer some guidance to assist the average homeowner, turned property manager, ultimately the responsibility to create a strong lease, protect the property and minimize liability – exposure rests with the homeowner. Most homeowners think that their biggest risk is coming home to a damaged property but in reality their biggest risk is the liability associated with their home being a vacation rental. Ninety percent (90%) of Homeowners Insurance policies exclude claims for properties rented for less than six (6) months. While many websites may offer liability insurance policies of one million dollars for rentals they facilitate – ultimately, the homeowner needs to review the exclusions for claims such as dog bites, failure to maintain, alcohol liability and assault and battery. Homeowners also need to realize that amenities such as pools, hot tubs, trampolines, water slides, bikes and paddle boards become major liabilities when they become part of a vacation rental. In a litigious state like California, I suggest having an attorney review your lease agreement and ensure there is some form of release of liability language in the agreement. It is also critical to change or add a short term rental endorsement to your homeowners’ insurance policy. Lastly, if you don’t have one, buy an umbrella liability policy. Umbrella policies cost as little as $150/annual per one million of coverage and safeguard your equity in the event of a covered loss.

North Shore 8U Gold All Stars take home the Finalist Trophy on Memorial Day The North Shore 8u gold all star team got off to a slow start in the San Dieguito Memorial Day tournament going 1-2 in their pool games. The team woke up on Memorial Day with a goal of playing 3 games. In their first bracket game against La Costa, North Shore jumped out to an early lead and then held on for a 6-4 victory. Next up was Rancho Bernardo who beat North Shore in the pool round. A seesaw battle ensued. RB jumped out to an early lead. North Shore battled pack and pushed ahead with a 2-out, 2-run home run by Olivia L. RB tied the game once more and it was knotted up 5-5 going to the last inning. That’s when Presley G and Aspen L both executed perfect run-scoring bunts. North Shore shut them down in the bottom half to earn a well deserved 7-5 victory. In the championship game North Shore met up with East County. The game was tight early with EC holding a 2-1 lead. Any hopes of a comeback championship victory were dashed when EC strung some timely hits together late to put the game away. North Shore received solid pitching in their 6 games from Riley C and Reagan C and the team enjoyed receiving their first trophies of the season.

Congressional race

local congressional race that will demand national attention and draw big bucks in 2018 is taking shape on our North Coast. The 49th District runs from Del Mar to Dana Point and includes Solana Beach, Encinitas, and Camp Pendleton. Entrenched Republican incumbent Darrell Issa, the wealthiest member of the House, won the seat in 2002. Redistricting produced a Republican-leaning majority that allowed Issa to win easy re-election ever since — until 2016 when

political unknown Doug Applegate came within about 1,600 votes of the upset of the year, actually winning a majority in the San Diego County portion of the district. Applegate, an attorney and retired marine colonel from southern Orange County, quickly announced that he would run again in 2018. But with blood in the water, a second challenger has emerged. Attorney Mike Levin, also from southern Orange County, has mounted a strong campaign and picked up some key endorsements including Congressman

infectious enthusiasm.” 3. Wellness for all Falcons TPHS has launched a wellness plan, where students and staff alike share the same focus in maintaining a healthy, connected, and supportive campus culture, guided by the following mission statement: We are TP! We, the students of Torrey Pines High School, unite in our pledge for a healthier today and tomorrow. We promise to: Take Pride in ourselves Take Pride in each other Take Pride in our school We are TP! Wellness plan highlights include Mental Health Week, which debuted with an assembly featuring athlete Todd Marinovich; the ASA Anti Bullying Campaign which featured a school assembly with BMX bike riders to demonstrate tricks while addressing bullying facts and strategies to overcome bullying on campus; the introduction of Stan Collins of the Directing Change project, who is the San Diego County Coordinator for Suicide Prevention. Starting in Fall 2017, Collins will work with TPHS staff to integrate “Gatekeeper Training” to continue to develop strategies for suicide prevention, and with parents via TPHS information nights to address teen suicide and suicide prevention. SEE REVIEW, A23 Adam Schiff (D-CA). And now I hear rumors of a third Democratic challenger. Stay tuned. You can meet and hear Doug Applegate and Mike Levin when they debate on Sept. 14 at the monthly meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Democratic Club (where I am VP for programs). Information is available at RSFDEM.ORG. Del Mar notes. Del Mar Community Connections (where I serve on the board) is looking for new volunteer drivers to provide rides for older residents and others who need a lift. Using their own cars, these volunteer drivers choose the rides they are able to provide from an easy-to-use electronic notice system. You select only rides that are convenient for you, maybe just an hour a month. It’s easy. It’s fun. It’s enormously rewarding. Phone DMCC at 858-792-7565 for more info or to sign up.

FROM RENTALS, A1 “We feel that our property rights are being infringed upon,” said Eric Charnholm, one of three plaintiffs named in the lawsuit. Charnholm has lived in Del Mar’s beach colony since he was a toddler, when his parents were among the city’s most prominent real estate agents. “This community has always been based on vacation rentals; it’s been a big part of what has built this community into the desirable place that it is,” he said. “There’s right and there’s wrong, and this is just wrong.” Dozens of residents made similar arguments as city leaders wrangled with the issue over the past year amid an evenly split uproar, some residents imploring the council to protect Del Mar’s neighborhood feel and others pleading to continue renting out their homes as they have for generations.

council eventually rejected those historical arguments, pointing to language in the 1976 Community Plan that restricts homes to one person per room. While the controversy raged, some of the more vocal STR supporters vowed to sue the city and created the Del Mar Alliance for the Preservation of Beach Access and Village. Their lawsuit argues that city leaders ran afoul of two crucial state mandates: the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) and the California Coastal Act. CEQA requires municipal agencies to apply for state review whenever a proposal would have a significant environmental impact, including changes to land-use regulations. The Coastal Act requires beach jurisdictions to develop a Local Coastal Program (LCP) that guarantees access to coastal areas. In its April ruling, the council said it is not subject to either CEQA review or an LCP amendment because it is not issuing a new ordinance,

but,rather, interpreting the 1976 Community Plan. Mayor Terry Sinnott, in casting the lone dissenting vote, suggested otherwise. With jurisdictions throughout California wrestling with their own policies on vacation rentals, the Coastal Commission has consistently opposed outright bans and stipulates that new efforts to regulate rentals require an LCP amendment and/or a coastal development permit. “We do not believe that regulation outside of that LCP/CDP context is legally enforceable in the coastal zone,” Steve Kinsey, the commission’s chairman, wrote in a December 2016 letter sent to all of California’s coastal communities. In at least two instances — Pismo Beach in 2011 and Imperial Beach in 2002 — the commission rejected attempts to ban short-term rentals. However, the commission has in several instances supported limits and regulations, including caps on how long a

home can be rented out. That is the direction in which Del Mar is now leaning. The City Council is set on Monday, June 19, to take up its STR deliberations for the first time in six weeks. At the meeting, councilmembers will get their first look at language on allowing rentals of no fewer than seven days at a time, and not to total more than 29 days within a calendar year. The session will also look at a wide range of rental-related issues, including the cost of enforcing new rules and the possibility of grandfathering in renters who can prove they had rental permits prior to 1976. The council has said its goal is to enact its reforms before a moratorium imposed last year expires this coming February. In the meantime, the moratorium rules remain in effect — only homeowners who can prove that they were renting prior to April 2016 may continue to do so.

FROM CIF, A1 can’t, as a board member, do that, knowing the effect it would have on our student athletes,” SDUHSD President Amy Herman said, before the board approved the agreement in a 4-1 vote. CIF requires that participating schools submit annual renewals to compete in athletic competition and the renewal was on the agenda for June 8. During public comment Torrey Pines High School parent Wendy Gumb, who has asked the district to investigate her concerns with the school’s baseball program, suggested that the board not renew with CIF. “I believe the San Dieguito Union High School District has privatized sports within our district by the way they allow the foundations to run the sports programs,” said Gumb, who has given the district an extention until June 16 to complete their third party investigation on the baseball program. “I think we are in violation of some of the CIF principles and I think the board should look closely into that.” She disagrees with sports teams requesting parent donations of up to $750 from parents with statements that teams are “solely funded by parents and our fundraising efforts.” “That’s not a public school,” Gumb said. “I think we need to clearly look at what we’re doing in the district. I think high school

Torrey Pines lacrosse players Gabrielle Garner and Eda Yilmaz are cheered by teammates before a game. sports are extremely important for our students and I believe you do too, but I think the way we’re going about funding the program is inaccurate.” According to one of the CIF operating principles, “schools that offer athletic programs must safeguard the integrity of their programs.” The principle states that commercial relationships should be monitored to ensure against “inappropriate exploitation” of the school’s name or reputation and there should be no “undue influence” of commercial interest. “The board regularly tells me that the foundation is a separate entity and that you have no control over it. That to me is a

commercial interest,” Gumb said. The principles also state that sports programs should avoid dependency on particular companies or sponsors and Gumb said as many coach donation requests suggest, many programs have dependency on the foundation and that the foundation “controls athletics at all four high schools.” Gumb has also advocated for more transparency in foundation contributions. Salazar said he agreed with Gumb and said there has been an atmosphere of “deny, deny, deny” anytime the district is approached about issues in the athletic program. He said he has wanted to start a

conversation about sports in the district, including his request at the May meeting for the district to allow students to play sports at other schools (such as allowing students from San Dieguito Academy to play football at La Costa Canyon) and for homeschooled students and the new SOUL charter school students to be allowed to play on district teams. None of the board members agreed with Salazar that they shouldn’t join CIF. “I think we have to set aside CIF because if we don’t approve CIF there are major implications for that,” Herman said. “I know we’ve had discussions about best practices from the district’s side. It’s important that our records are clear and the donations that are given to us are very clear. Foundations don’t give all of their money to the district so accounting for everything they do is not what we do, but we can account for every dollar that they give to us and we will make sure that’s happening.” The broader discussion about the district’s relationships with the foundations is one the district is willing to have, Herman said. Superintendent Dill said one of the first goals of the new associate superintendent of business services is to forge a better relationship with the foundations – Tina Douglas begins her new position on July 1.

FROM STUDENTS, A1 being heard,” said La Costa Canyon parent Lucile Lynch. “There are changes to be made.” What pushed many parents’ frustrations over the edge was seeing the new ATP classrooms at the Earl Warren Middle School campus during a tour in May. The ATP classrooms are housed in two portables with limited windows, set in the back of the Earl Warren campus. The petition states the inequity in the facilities stands out in comparison to what is being built a few feet away for middle school students — a contemporary design with large expansive windows to optimize natural light and larger, flexible-use classrooms in permanent buildings. Parents have complained for years about how students in ATP feel “isolated and segregated” and they were disappointed to see that the practice will continue in the new facilities, which were described as resembling “tool sheds.” “Is this really the best our district can do?” asked Charles Duncan, whose son attends Torrey Pines. “There’s no way in hell he’s going to attend this type of program. It’s horrible…This is what was promised to parents to be ‘state-of-the-art facilities?’” The two 1,400-square-foot portables have a total of three small windows — only one window in the students’ instructional space as the other two are in the conference room and teachers’ offices. There are no windows in the bathrooms, no windows in the kitchenette and no windows in the sensory room. The four-year program currently has three teachers, 20 students and 10 aides. Next year there could be as many as 47 students — along with the needed support staff there could be approximately 62 adults in the two portables with only two bathrooms. TPHS student James Walker, who is working to complete his diploma and next year will be in ATP, was part of the group that took a tour of the new classroom. “A couple of things need to be fixed,” James told the board at the meeting. “There’s no windows and the computers are facing the wall and that doesn’t seem right…how can we get an education when the computers are facing away from the teachers?” As part of the special education parent forum, a floor plan for the new ATP facility was shared in fall 2016 and parents asked if they could provide input and they were assured they would be able to at a later date, Lynch said. When parents inquired about the progress throughout the year, however, they were told that the “walls are going up,” suggesting the construction of actual buildings not portables. A time to provide input never came and parents were given a tour of the facilities in May. Parent Randolph Burrows, whose son attends Torrey Pines, said ATP being placed on a middle school campus in “second-class dwellings” gives the perception of “insensitive planning on the part of the district.” “My son is a unique individual with talents and limitations, he’s not like anyone you’ve ever met,” Barrows said. “Our kids are not dumb. Our kids are perceptive. I’m continually amazed at just how perceptive they are. He understands when he is being typecast or framed as a disabled person. He understands that this is a second-class facility and placement.” In response to the petition submitted on June 8, SDUHSD Superintendent Eric Dill released a statement: “The petition

more students, fire drills, passing bells and memories.” The new $39 million, 75,239-square-foot campus to be constructed by Balfour Beatty will feature a two-story administration and main classroom building with 27 classrooms, a media center, technology lab, multi-purpose building, STREAM building, and a four-classroom kindergarten building. Additionally, there will be an expansive new play space with an amphitheater, garden, lunch shelter and a decomposed granite track and turf field. The new parking lot will feature a much longer drop-off area of about 500 feet, which will hopefully prevent the back-up of cars on Lomas Santa Fe Drive. Solar panels will be placed on the parking lot canopies as well as on the lunch shelter. Energy-efficient light fixtures and air conditioning and

heating units will be used on the campus as well. As the campus prepares for its demolition in the coming weeks, students have left their mark by painting the surfaces of buildings, portables and ball walls. Some painted inspirational quotes, some wrote farewells and odes to the school, praising everything from STEAM labs to the smell of the trees. On one building, a student scrawled in purple paint: “Skyline is my happy place.” “In a year’s time we’ll be moving back into a brand new, beautiful building but, more importantly, we will be bringing back with us our incredible spirit and camaraderie that lies within our current walls,” Denham said. “It’s not just the bricks and mortar that makes Skyline such a special place, it’s the people that make it so special.”

re-evaluating the facilities plan. Per the petition, parents are requesting a total “overhaul” of the special education curriculum that should include electives, career pathways, after-school activities, more course structure and more research-based curriculum rather than activities-based. The petition states many students would benefit from vocational, career and job readiness programs. The Torrey Pines student, James Walker, said he works at Petco as part of the Workability program and was told he could get to a higher level if he had cash register training. “I think more vocational skills training is needed for kids like me,” James said. Schenker, who was a member of the special education parent forum, said that for diploma-bound students there are no electives and no fundamentals track that includes all the academic classes needed for graduation. Schenker said special education parents have to make a “terrible binary” choice for their students’ education in SDUHSD. Students either continue toward a diploma and are not able to access transition skills and programs that the Transition Assistance Program (TAP) peers have or they continue with a certificate of completion and remain in TAPS or Functional Living Skills (FLS), go on to ATP and forgo their diploma. Students have until age 22 to be a part of the district services and Schenker said the district’s ATP program should incorporate a track where students can complete classes toward a diploma and receive needed transition services and employment readiness. “Special education needs to be viewed as a multi-year program that incorporates academic subjects while also transitioning students’ post-high school life for more independence and employment readiness,” Schenker said. Parents say there is also a failure to assess non-diploma bound students to provide meaningful grades or benchmarks. In the spring, parent Sophy Chaffee saw 75 assessments for her daughter in general education versus seven for her son in special education — his seven final “grades” were all “A’s,” she said. “There appears to be an unwritten rule that all special education students in the TAP and FLS programs get automatic A’s,” Chafee said. “That says to me you don’t think these students are capable of progress that can be measured. It’s not grade inflation. It’s grade abdication.” Chaffee said in the past, she has chosen to stay silent about grades and assessments because she didn’t want to cause problems for her son’s teacher but she said her silence began feeling like further abdication. In listening to the parents speak out on Thursday, June 8, the board seemed willing to cooperate with the parents. “As board president and a representative of the San Dieguito Union High School District, I want to state unequivocally that it is not our intent to treat our special education students in an inequitable manner. The board was not aware of many of the concerns that were shared with us on Thursday at our board meeting, or that were outlined in the petition given to us that night,” said SDUHSD President Amy Herman in a statement.“Although there are many issues to address, I am committed to working cooperatively with our special education families and district staff to come up with possible solutions.”

Solana Beach with their own children attending Skyline,” Denham said. One of those former Skyline students is Caroline Brown, now the district’s executive director of capital programs and technology. Her fourth and fifth grade teacher from Skyline was there for the special groundbreaking. Brown shared the rich history of the Skyline campus, a 10-acre parcel the district purchased in 1954 for $55,000. “Lomas Santa Fe, then Skyline Drive, was a two-lane road with no median. It took me and my sister seven minutes to ride our bikes to the country club for swim team,” Brown said. “Skyline has had over 11,000 school days since 1955 and we have performed 620 scheduled fire drills. We rang the passing bells over 145,000 times. We’re looking forward to the new Skyline and many

submitted to the board of trustees addresses many concerns related to our special education programs. The district and the board are committed to the success of every student. We measure academic achievement in many ways, including that of special education students. The needs of students with disabilities must be individually determined in order to meet the needs of the student,” Dill’s statement read. “There is no one-size-fits-all solution in either general or special education. While our math and English proficiency rates for students with disabilities are higher than California averages and our graduation rate for district students with disabilities at 85.9 percent is higher than the 83.2 percent state graduation rate for all students, we have built in targets to increase our achievement for all students, including students with disabilities. To increase achievement, we review our programs and individualized instruction to improve outcomes. The parent group has given us a lengthy list of issues they perceive with our special education program, so we will certainly take those concerns seriously and work to improve our programs to support successful student outcomes.” At the June 8 meeting, Dill acknowledged that the ATP program is housed on the perimeter of Earl Warren but said that the location was intentional as students will be coming and going during the day — the location gives students direct access to a parking lot and entrance where they won’t have to go through the middle school campus. Dill said regarding the appearance of the portables, it should be noted that landscaping has not yet been completed and said that the color of the structure matches the rest of the campus — many parents in the audience groaned in response. “Regarding the internal facilities, the classroom technology is the same as the rest of the classrooms,” Dill said. He said the computers were placed facing the wall to mimic the look of the “genius bars” in other district sites and they were prevented from adding windows because of power and data located on the walls. Dill said in the last week they have explored adding windows to the building. Regarding the space concerns, Dill said that the program is designed for the students to be out in the community as much as possible for work experience and there should be no issues with overcrowding. For the last couple of years, the district housed ATP students in portables at Earl Warren Middle School. Prior to that, the students were moved almost every year to different locations, such as the local library, which the petition states failed to provide continuity for the program. ATP has been housed at Mira Costa College in the past but were evicted there due to the college’s space limitations — parents prefer the Mira Costa location as it puts ATP students among peers their own age. The petition states that in the district’s Prop AA bond for $449 million in district-wide facilities upgrades and improvements, ATP was the only program left out of the master plans to provide state-of-the-art facilities for all students. SDUHSD Trustee John Salazar said that the district is building “palaces” at other campuses with Prop AA funds — “Why wouldn’t they have a real building, not a portable?” he asked. Dill said the district will be having a facilities workshop in July or August and they will be taking a comprehensive look and

Play by CCA teen explores political climate

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY When Phillip Magin observed animosity and disagreements among political parties in the recent election, he was inspired to try to make the groups come together through art. The 18-year-old Del Mar playwright, who graduates from Canyon Crest Academy this month, will present a self-written and self-produced play called “fulcrum” at the San Diego International Fringe Festival that reflects the current political atmosphere through the eyes of students and adults at a North County High School. Magin said in summer 2015, when he developed an interest in politics, he noticed more arguments between people regarding politics. This was unfamiliar to the teen. “I saw that there was a lot of division that I had never really seen before between the two parties,” said Magin, who will attend San Diego State University in the fall for theater. “Growing up, I always saw them as two parties with some differences but they didn’t clash as much. In today’s world, Republicans and Democrats are very against each other, and there’s a lot of clashing. A big thing I’m trying to do with this play is show we might be on different teams but we all have the same goals.” The coming-of-age satire — which runs June 22, June 23, June 25, June 28 and July 1 — takes place during Fall 2016 when President Donald Trump was getting elected. In the hour-long, PG-13 production, a high school is placed on a lockdown for unknown reasons, and students and adults “clash politically and face political prejudice and rumors,” Magin said. “It’s creating a sense of mystery and paranoia about why this happened,” he explained. “The lockdown is an allegory for Trump getting elected president because it shakes up a lot of people and causes a lot of people to panic. There are certain characters who are very anti-Trump and there are others who are pro-Trump. There’s a lot of clashing and division.” Magin, who has written, directed and produced five productions, applied to be in the Fringe Festival even before

Phillip Magin, left, directs actors in his play “fulcrum.” finishing the script in February. It is his second time showing a work of his own in the festival and his fourth time participating overall. “I knew I had the crutch of the idea for it and I just went for it,” he said. The cast is made up of students from CCA, as well as other local high schools and colleges. Even though he considers himself to have liberal views, Magin said proponents from both sides can sympathize and relate to the characters, as different viewpoints are shown. He showed the play to an audience at CCA that had various political opinions, and everyone appeared to enjoy it, he said. “I wanted to show the two different sides of people because I didn’t want to single one party out,” Magin said. “I have different characters with their different beliefs, and I show

those beliefs over the course of the play.” Magin — who got to vote for the first time in November — said he believes his young viewpoint helps the show. “This is the world I’m coming into as an adult just getting out of high school,” he said. “There’s just this tension in the country, and I hope as the years go on and I get older, some things change and people are able to reconcile with each other.” Performances are June 22 at 6 p.m., June 23 at 9 p.m., June 25 at 4 p.m., June 28 at 7:30 p.m. and July 1 at 4 p.m. Shows will take place in the Lyceum Space Theatre in downtown San Diego, which holds 250 seats.

BY KAREN BILLING Wokou has opened in the Village of Pacific Highlands Ranch bringing authentic Japanese noodles, ramen and yakitori to Carmel Valley. Wokou is part of the hospitality group Social Syndicate, which has eight restaurants throughout San Diego. Wokou is the group’s first North County venture and the first of its concept — other eateries in the group include two locations of The Local Eatery and Drinking Hole, Rabbit Hole in Normal Heights, Resident Brewing Company, Bootlegger Plates and Pours, Wonderland Ocean Pub and the newly-opened OB Surf Lodge. “With Wokou, the vision and goal is to build a family-friendly, dog-friendly, community-based restaurant, somewhere everybody could enjoy a night out with family or meet friends for drinks all in one spot and not break the bank,” said co-owner Joey Pena. “We want this place to be affordable and inviting.” The menu they are serving up is what makes them especially unique, with their ramen dishes and yakitori. Yakitori is Japanese street food — skewers that feature meat and vegetables slow-cooked over an open-flame. Yakitori skewers on the menu at Wokou feature skirt steak, chicken breast, chasu pork, king oyster mushrooms, bacon-wrapped asparagus, eggplant, zucchini and more. Wokou’s menu will have traditional tonkotsu ramen as well as a spicy carnitas version and a vegan miso shoyu with gluten-free vegetarian noodles, tofu and spinach.

Music-minded psychiatrist reveals Tchaikovsky’s mental anguish UCSD presentation explores link between depression, creativity BY WILL BOWEN Do creative people — artists, musicians and writers — suffer from psychological disturbances more often than “regular” people? And if they do, are their creative productions an expression of their inner conflicts or are they an escape, a transcendence accomplished in spite of their difficulties? To shed some light on the mental issues creatives sometimes deal with hidden from public view, the UC San Diego Department of Psychiatry, in cooperation with the John A. Majda, M.D. Memorial Foundation and the UCSD Retirement Association, hosted a free, informative and highly Dr. Richard Kogan entertaining lecture May 22, in the Conrad Prebys Concert Hall on campus. It centered on the music of the great Russian composer Peter Illich Tchaikovsky, who suffered from depression and ended up taking his own life. The speaker/performer for the evening was Dr. Richard Kogan, a Julliard graduate in piano studies, who is also a psychiatrist and co-leader of the Cornell University Music & Medicine Initiative. Dr. Harry C. Powell, a UCSD medical school professor emeritus of pathology and member of the UCSD Retirement Association executive committee, introduced the evening’s program. Powell along with Dr. Sidney Zisook of the Healing Education Assessment & Research (HEAR) program, which is aimed at suicide prevention in health care providers, were jointly responsible for enticing Kogan to campus. Powell began by sharing the tragic story of former UCSD physician John A. Majda, a 1987 graduate of UCSD Medical School. Majda, who was a well-liked, successful and caring doctor, suffered from depression. He ended up taking his own life in 2007. As a result, the John A. Majda Foundation was formed by his wife and fellow doctors with the joint aim of recognizing outstanding research in the area of depression and suicide, and assisting professionals in the healing arts who might be prone to suicide. Dr. Igor Grant, Chairman of the UCSD Psychiatry Department, added to the introductions, “The idea for tonight’s event is

to try and raise awareness of depression and bring it out into the open so people can better understand and talk about it.” Kogan was in town to attend the American Psychiatric Association (APA) meetings being held at the San Diego Convention Center. Dr. Michael Brophy, a psychiatrist from Dallas, Texas, who was also in San Diego to attend the APA meetings, said he came to the lecture because, “I was utterly fascinated by a earlier lecture Dr. Kogan gave at the APA meetings where he discussed the life and career of composer Robert Schumann, who suffered from bipolar disorder or manic depression. Schumann unsuccessfully attempted suicide by jumping into the Rhine River, and ended up dying in an insane asylum.” Tchaikovsky, who composed timeless musical masterpieces such as the “1812 Overture,” and ballet scores for “The Nutcracker,” “Swan Lake” and “Sleeping Beauty,” suffered from lifelong depression. Evidence suggests that he took his own life, at age 53, by willfully drinking water contaminated with cholera. Although Tchaikovsky is discussed in length on Wikepedia, his depression and homosexuality, which for a long time were covered up by the Soviet government, are only lightly touched upon. Kogan took great pains to illuminate these issues which he has extensively researched through the reading of Tchaikovsky’s diaries and letters, as well as through interviews with the composer’s descendents. He said Tchaikovsky was hypersensitive and a loner who had great difficulties with relationships. Tchaikovsky was, however, according to Kogan, able to rise above his condition to express and release his great sorrow, hopelessness and frustration through composing music. As Tchaikovsky poignantly expressed in one of his letters, “I hate myself, only work saves me.” The genesis of Tchaikovsky’s problems, Kogan said, seems to have been his unfulfilled relationship with his emotionally distant mother, who sent him away to boarding school at an early age and who died while he was still quite young. Although Tchaikovsky was most likely homosexual in orientation, he did have one brief love affair with a female student whose name was Desiree Artot. In his letters he wrote, “She is the only woman I have ever loved.” And Tchaikovsky was briefly married to a woman named Antonina Miliukova. That relationship ended in disaster.

CCA students’ IMAX films hit the big screen BY KAREN BILLING Canyon Crest Academy recently became the first high school in the nation to screen two student IMAX short film documentaries in an IMAX theater. More than 300 people attended a sold-out screening of Envision Cinema student films, “Bee Conscious” and “Change in the Water” on Wednesday, June 7 at the Edwards Mira Mesa Stadium 18 IMAX & RPX Theatre. CCA Envision Cinema hosted a pre-screening reception and had a Q&A session with the filmmakers after the films. All funds raised from ticket sales supported CCA-TV and the Envision Cinema program at Canyon Crest Academy. Last October, CCA had nine films chosen as official selections in the All American High School Film Festival, the world’s largest high school film festival at the AMC Times Square in New York City. Two of the CCA films were recognized in the Best of Fest screening, out of 1,900 submitted films from 48 states and 15 countries. Due to the Envision film program’s overall excellent body of work, CCA was one of five schools in the nation chosen to receive a $5,000 grant at the festival from the new IMAX Big Picture in Focus Young Filmmakers Program to produce two environmental documentaries that will be promoted and distributed by IMAX. “Bee Conscious” is a documentary short film that discusses the threats and issues

surrounding the declining bee population, produced by student filmmakers. While experts believe this problem is a real threat to the food supply, many people have a lack of knowledge on the topic. Student filmmakers Thomas Wade, Reed Martin, Noah Hecht, Roberto Pino, Melanie An, Campbell Moore and Ryan Curcio spoke with experts who work in fields directly influenced by or related to bees who gave their professional insight and opinions on the decline of the bee population. This documentary covers the possible threats to the bees, the effects bees have on humans, and what people can do to help this issue. The documentary short film “Change is in the Water” focuses on the attempted ocean conservation efforts of an environmentally-sustainable, surf industry brand Enjoy Handplanes. Following their journey and discussing the reasons behind their ecological actions, this film highlights a handful of individuals who hope to make a big difference in a worldwide problem. Student filmmakers Navin Bose, Ceren Fitoz, Gabriel Gaurano, Jayden Gillespie, Noah Hecht, Reed Martin, Daria Miller, Kalani Newman, Skyler Stewart and Jackie Tullie spoke with surfers, environmental experts and representatives of the surfing industry to discuss the cultural significance of protecting the water for surfers, wildlife, and society as a whole. “Bee Conscious” is available to watch at https://youtu.be/XeHG8TGFl28

Mr. “C” recently passed away on March 14, 2017 at his home in San Diego.

Local children’s choir joins with Mariachi Diamante in benefit concert June 15 A remarkable new children’s choir in Del Mar is working to build bridges with Mexico. Their first annual benefit concert “Bridges Beyond Borders: Music of Mexico and the U.S.” will feature the One World Children’s Choir with Mariachi Diamante on Thursday, June 15 at 7:30 p.m. at Calvary Lutheran Church, near the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Ticket prices start at $10, with proceeds supporting the choir’s outreach programs in Mexico and elsewhere. Tickets are available at www.oneworldcc.eventbrite.com. Artistic Director, Dr. Aaron Mitchell, promises a concert experience like no other. “You’ll hear the children, you’ll hear a fantastic Mariachi group, and

you’ll hear them come together.” The groups join forces not just for some traditional Mexican folk music, but also for the American songs “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” and Phillip Phillip’s “Home.” On Friday, the choir will join forces in Ensenada, Mexico, in a concert featuring 90 children from the Esperanza Azteca Children’s Choir, a local orphanage, and players from the youth orchestra. Mitchell has been rehearsing the groups each week in Ensenada, in preparation for the event. “Our goal in these ‘bridge’ projects is to make connections between cultures and countries, and to help the children better understand and relate to one another,” he says. It’s also important, he

adds, to include children who wouldn’t otherwise have the opportunity. Each week, separate rehearsals have been held with about 30 children at the Reino De Los Niños orphanage in neighboring Maneadero. “We want to give them the chance to join with the big choir and have an experience that will have a positive impact on their life.” Select youth from the One World choir travel as ambassadors for these projects, and the program aims to develop leadership, compassion, and service. Patrons unable to attend can make a donation to support the projects at www.oneworldcc.org. Calvary Lutheran Church is located at 424 Via de la Valle, Solana Beach, 92075.

Lotus Trolley Bag makes reusable reliable BY KAREN BILLING el Mar couple Farzan and Jen Dehmoubed have created an eco-friendly and unique solution to the standard-issue reusable bag with the Lotus Trolley Bag. The Lotus Trolley Bag is a set of four reusable bags that are easy to carry and designed to spread out accordion-style along the top of a customer’s shopping cart. The bags allow the customer to pack and sort groceries in the cart, making shopping simpler and faster. The couple tried several different versions before they landed on the design of the Lotus, named as such because the bags unfold like the flower. “I’m thrilled we came up with a product we really like and that works well,” Farzan said. The bags launched two weeks ago on Amazon.com and had an official debut at Fiesta del Sol in Solana Beach May 19-20. “It was amazing, it was fantastic to see everybody’s reactions,” Farzan said. “We sold out on the first and second day.” A launch party with friends and enthusiastic shoppers was held at the Dehmoubed’s Del Mar home on June 3. Following the initial success of the first few weeks of

Farzan, who was a degree in finance and business and used to have his own marketing company, has always loved coming up with different business ideas and products. Jen works as a private tutor. After California’s plastic bag ban became official this January, the Dehmoubeds shared the

frustrations of many people — they didn’t want to keep plastic bags in the home but reusable bags were often cheap and flimsy. “There is a need for quality, recycled bags that avoid filling homes with the abundant and cheap ones that are often forgotten at home, tear or quickly end up in landfills,” Farzan said. While shopping, customers can strap the bags onto the handle of the cart. Once at the check-out counter, customers can spread out

the bags and pack as they please. The four bags vary in sizes — the largest is an insulated cooler bag that keeps cold stuff cold, big enough for a box of frozen pizza. The cooler bag’s unique design also includes compartments for a carton of eggs and bottles of wine. “They are bags we can be proud of because they won’t rip or fray like many resuable bags that tend to get damaged after a few uses,” Farzan said. “We wanted the bags to last. We had the bags tested

East Coast hairstylist brings unique techniques to Del Mar An East Coast hairdresser is using his talents to transform the follicles of North County women and men. Daniel Rosati, who practices at Diva Hair Salon in Del Mar, was inspired by his father, uncle, cousins and sister to do hair. “It’s just totally in the family,” he said in a recent interview. Rosati, who has 33 years of experience, has worked in world-renowned salons such as Frederic Fekkai, Berdgorf Goodman and Stephen Knoll. Before moving to San Diego, he primarily worked on the East Coast in what he described as “very ethnic” neighborhoods. There, he became familiar with techniques for curly hair, which was common in the area and can be tricky to work with, he said. An effective way of treating curly hair is cutting it while it’s dry, so the stylist can see what the cowlicks are going to do before he alters them, Rosati said. “I let the cowlicks do their thing, go where they want to go and cut hair dry,” he said. “That’s a big thing that sells people. They like that. Cutting it dry, you’re going to have a better vision of what the hair is doing.”

Also, when coloring the hair, Rosati uses ammonia-free, oil-based color, which moisturizes rather than dries out the hair, like bleach would. He also offers Keratin treatments to loosen the curls and make the hair healthier. For the men — which he used to cut exclusively before “falling in love” with women’s hair — he does all scissor cutting. He said he doesn’t like the “new fad” of clippers. Cutting hair with scissors slices the hair, rather than cutting it blunt, like a clipper would. He said at 51 he understands the need to cut adult men’s hair differently than those of a younger age, when the hair acts differently. “When you’re slicing the hair, and the hair grows back, it interlinks better and doesn’t get as wide and puffy as it would with a clipper haircut,” he explained. To book an appointment with Rosati at Diva Hair Salon, 2739 Via De La Valle, in Del Mar, call his cell phone at 858-900-8187. — Business spotlights are developed through this newspaper’s advertising department in support of our advertisers.

Famed Coding Camp Hits Solana Beach/Del Mar

Leading Coding (programming) for kids and STEAM (Science, Technology, Arts, Math and Engineering) education innovator – CodeREV – has expanded its popular tech summer camps to get more students coding and creating instead of losing critical skills over the summer. CodeREV offers these camps in locations throughout California, including Point Loma for the first time and Solana Beach / Del Mar for the second year in a row. Through CodeREV tech summer camps, students from first grade to tenth learn skills that are not only useful and fun for creating incredible school projects; they are marketable skills such as coding, higher order thinking,

math, game development and robotics that are in demand for the knowledge workers of tomorrow. In addition, the camps offer fun and unique outdoor activities that strengthen team-building and allow students to run and play. “Students love to play video games, but they love to create them even more. At CodeREV, we teach kids how to create their own eye-popping video games and 3D worlds and use engaging games like Minecraft to sharpen their math skills. Educators know that over the summer months, students typically lose up to one third of the knowledge they learned in the previous school year. Our camps not only help students retain those skills, they help them work in fields of interest that employers report are in short supply,” shared CodeREV Founder and CEO Evan Boorman. “Students love our camps because the courses and skills they learn are fun and geared toward their interests. Parents love our tech summer camps because the curriculum is relevant to high-demand 21st century skills.” CodeREV curriculum is supported by education technology specialists out of graduate schools of education from Stanford, MIT, and Harvard. Its teachers are real programmers with real-world tech experience, who also possess a true passion for teaching - a craft they have come to love through hands-on experience guiding kids to become creators. Find out more about their camps at www.coderevkids.com/camps or give them a call at (619) 609-7432.

The kids had fun reconnecting with each other and thanking their teachers. Each student shared what college they would be attending in the fall, their course of study and their favorite Carmel Creek memory. The teachers each had a special words of wisdom to pass along on their journey to college.

Friends of Solana Beach Library members present Scholarship Awards

en outstanding students applied for two scholarships offered by Friends of the Solana Beach Library; two applicants did not qualify because they did not live or attend school in Solana Beach. The two most exceptional students selected for scholarships of $1,000 each are: Joselin Aragon, from Torrey Pines High School, will study child and adolescent development at California State University San Marcos, and Caleb Armendariz, from

Santa Fe Christian, will attend California Polytechnic State University and major in biological sciences with the goal of becoming a trauma surgeon. Because all of the applicants were outstanding, the Friends Board of Directors increased the scholarship fund this year in order to award $250 to each of the other students. They include Lou Blanchard, Devin Burke, Luis Canales-Sanchez, Manuel Lara, Evan Pasko and Nicholas Post.

SPONSORED COLUMNS afraid to expose their legs: the presence of varicose veins and spider veins.

DR. VAN CHENG San Diego Vein Institute 760.944.9263

Step into Summer with Conﬁdence: Zap Those Varicose Veins and Spider Veins Memorial Day weekend is the unofﬁcial beginning of summer, and with this warm weather, Southern California will see no shortage of days perfect for bathing suits and shorts. However, for many women, bathing suits and shorts bring on a sense of dread, even anxiety. Body insecurity is a very real force and should not be dismissed as vanity or overreaction. In a culture celebrating perfection, any perceived imperfection can be a hit to a woman’s self-esteem (or any person’s, for that matter). But besides weight and muscle tone, there is a condition that causes a lot of dread for women who are

Varicose veins, those blue ropes under the skin, are in fact a medical condition, which means they should not go untreated. While varicose veins are common enough, they are weakened veins that allow blood to pool, which can lead to much more serious medical conditions. While removal using sclerotherapy doesn’t prevent future varicose veins from forming, the procedure closes off the weakened and problematic veins, leaving legs smoother and healthier. Spider veins, on the other hand, are much more common and quite harmless. Spider veins, known as telangiectasias, are enlarged venules, which are the very small veins and blood vessels. Fortunately, in most cases, spider veins are painless. Though they are much smaller than varicose veins, occurring closer to the surface of the skin, they can clump and cause purple or red discolorations in the legs. Though they are also caused by weakened

lining of the vein, there are not as significant as their older varicose cousin, and so are not considered a medical condition— meaning that any treatment, such as with a simple laser therapy—is considered “cosmetic” and won’t be covered by most insurance plans. However, don’t underestimate the power of a “cosmetic” procedure. For some women, having clear and smooth legs free of spider veins means having the confidence to live their best life, not worrying about judgment or comparison to others. Self-confidence is a powerful tool, one that goes a long way to establishing overall wellbeing. With self-confidence and wellbeing, very often stress and anxiety can be reduced (or better managed), which can subsequently lower blood pressure. And when blood pressure is lowered, the risk for getting more spider veins or varicose veins can also be reduced.

removing varicose veins? When treating spider veins with laser therapy, the laser damages the blood vessels, making them clot and dry up, at which point, they will get reabsorbed by the body’s tissue. This non-invasive treatment can be done in the ofﬁce on a very short lunch break, for instance, or after a surf session or beach jog. This treatment is different from sclerotherapy, generally used for the treatment of varicose veins, which entails an injection of medicine directly into the blood vessel. Both procedures are incredibly safe and easy and can be done with a quick inofﬁce visit. If your spider veins have you dreading summer and you are ready for laser treatment, or if you want to know more about laser therapy or sclerotherapy, contact us at 760-944-9263 or visit us at www.sdveininstitute.com.

So what is the difference between the laser therapy required for removing spider veins and the sclerotherapy used for

FROM MUSIC, B5 wrote, “I hate the sight of her naked body.” Tchaikovsky was able to manage a long-term friendship with Nadezhda von Meck, the widow of a wealthy railroad baron. Because von Meck adored his music, she supported him financially and encouraged him for more than 13 years. Kogan ended his presentation with the thought that even though Tchaikovsky suffered great mental anguish, he was such a gifted and creative artist that he was able to rise above and transcend his infirmities to create monumental music that is loved around the world to this day. “You can think of Tchaikovsky as a ballerina standing on her tip toes, defying gravity,” Kogan concluded. — For more information on the John A.

“

I couldn’t be any happier with the service that was provided to me by the Mossy Team. They made the entire process painless! I hadn’t bought a car in 10 years so I was nervous going in, but they explained every detail and made sure I understood what I was about to sign. They made sure my car was clean and gassed up before I drove off with my new 2017 Nissan Rogue! I am beyond in love with my new car! I deﬁnitely recommend going in to Mossy if you’re in the market to buy a new car.

PET OF THE WEEK

CARL, an 8-month-old Ameri-

can mix guinea pig, is looking for a new home! He was brought in by his previous owner after he wasn’t very social with their other pig, so we think he deﬁnitely prefers the bachelor life. But who can blame him? Carl is a no-fuss, no-muss kind of pig who prefers to do his own thing without too much responsibility. He’s not used to be handled too much, so a patient family who will help him to be more brave and social would be fantastic! Offer him some fresh veggies and he’ll be yours forever! Carl is available for adoption at the San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus at 3450 E Valley Parkway. To learn more about making him part of your family, please call (760) 888-2275.

Dad’s Day menus for your special guy

hile some guys experience culinary nirvana scarfing down a heap of guacamole and pile of corn chips washed down with a can of fizzy fluid welded to their palm, others first inquire about food’s provenance, and choose judiciously from both the sea (sustainable, wild caught, omega-3 rich fish), and the land (grass fed, organic, GMO-free). Whatever dad’s druthers, degree of social consciousness and culinary habits here is a round up of delights to keep him happy and satiated for Father’s Day. Caffeine Fiend: For the man who needs a java jolt to kick-start his day, start with a high-octane espresso, foamy cappuccino or iced coffee. Add mocha French toast, nutty pancakes with coffee whipped cream or a dark roast hazelnut quick bread to hit the spot for a Dad’s Day breakfast or brunch. For savory bites use your bean by concocting a coffee and black peppercorn dry rub (recipe provided) to dial up strip steak, grilled fish and chicken, a wet marinade for lamb and pork roasts, or a coffee vinaigrette as an all-purpose dipping sauce or salad dressing. And end the day with a buzz from a classic tiramisu. A Salty Dog: Have plenty of spicy and

HOME OF THE WEEK

savory snacks on hand throughout the day from pita, root and kettle cooked chips to a variety of nuts, pretzels and colorful crudités for the palate that craves salt. Serve with assorted dips, such as roasted red pepper hummus, black bean and toasted corn salsa, avocado with grilled shrimp and poblano chiles, or curried Greek yoghurt. A Grill Seeker: Attention barbecuephiles! Start Father’s Day festivities with a grilled breakfast feast of smoky poached eggs, heirloom sausages, wild caught salmon fillets and mesquite-flavored waffles. For the cooking surface use an aromatic hardwood plank to infuse an outdoorsy essence to all animal and vegetable offerings. Mild alder and cedar woods pair well with delicate fish, seafood and vegan fare, maple, apple and pecan planks complement more robust-flavored pork and fowls, while mighty oak and hickory woods are a good match for beef and gamey meats. Vegetarian Vince: For those dads who don’t do meat, pick a peck of pickled peppers, along with sauerkraut, kimchi, salads and slaws to accompany an assortment of mock meats and cheeses. Tofu or bean curd has a neutral flavor profile,

adaptable to an array of sweet and savory dishes, including egg scrambles, frittatas, stir-fries, soups, curries, or as a pan-fried patty, burger-style. Tempeh made from fermented soybeans is a densely-packed firm wedge. This zesty meat substitute lends well to kebobs, and dials up Cobb, Caesar and chopped salads. Or for a non-soy option try seitan, it’s reminiscent of lunch meat. This hearty gluten protein is popularly used to assemble deli-like sandwiches particularly a Reuben, while vegan bacon called “facon,” coconut jerky and Tofurkey are other knockoff meat alternatives. Spreadable veggie pates that resemble chopped liver and foie gras, such as eggplant caviar, Mediterranean olive tapenade, “meaty” nuts blended with tahini, cannellini beans with Meyer lemon juice and virgin olive oil, or a marinated mushroom paste are scrumptious slathered on a variety of crackers or breads. Paleo Papa: Those embracing the cave-dweller diet — sheavy on meat, fish, fruits and vegetables, hold the grains and dairy, would appreciate protein burgers of all manners. Juicy patties of beef, lamb, chicken, wild boar or other exotic game topped with grilled onions, wrapped in crispy lettuce leaves will please the most refined Paleo palate. A Dairy Dad: For cheese heads, assemble a platter of assorted soft and aged ones, from cow, goat and sheep milk, paired with slices of seasonal melons, figs, apricots and piles of almonds, cashews and other nut favorites. Or whip up southwest quesadillas, personal pizzas, gourmet grilled cheese sandwiches, a bubbly lasagna or baked ziti to warm the cockles of this guy’s heart.
