Incumbents Mayor Sherryl Parks and Councilman Al Corti, along with challengers Jim Benedict, David Druker, Ellen Haviland and T. Patrick Stubbs are vying for three open seats.

Councilman Don Mosier has decided not to run for re-election.

Council candidates had an

opportunity to share their top priorities for the city as well as discuss several top issues in Del Mar during the forum, which was moderated by the League of Women Voters of North County San Diego.

Parks and Corti said they would like to finish the work they have started on a variety of projects, including

completing the new Del Mar Civic Center.

City officials and community members kicked off the construction of the complex with a groundbreaking ceremony in September. The roughly $18 million project is expected to be completed in spring 2018.

Del Mar council discusses Community Choice Energy

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Months after adopting the city’s Climate Action Plan, the Del Mar City Council on Oct. 3 declared Del Mar’s interest in exploring the feasibility of Community Choice Energy.

The council’s unanimous resolution enables the city to The next steps request energy-use data for Del would be to Mar customers from San Diego examine doing a Gas & Electric. The data is needed feasibility study, to potentially participate in a which would study with other North County require reaching cities to better understand the agreement with feasibility of forming a regional however many Community Choice Energy Joint coastal cities that participate in this Powers Authority.

“We need to take this step process. now,” Councilman Dwight Councilman Don Mosier Worden said. “It’s risk-free, cost-free to get in the game and find out can we work with people to buy a car and is there room for us in the backseat.”

The council adopted the city’s Climate Action Plan in June, outlining how Del Mar can combat climate change.

The plan serves as a comprehensive roadmap, with strategies the city could use to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions by 15 percent by 2020 and 50 percent by 2035.

One of the city’s most significant strategies identified in the Climate Action Plan is the goal of working toward 50 percent renewable energy supply by 2020 and 100 percent renewable energy supply by 2035.

“It’s commonly thought in the industry that the most realistic way to achieve that is by way of community choice energy or community choice aggregation,” said Acting City Manager Kristen Crane. “So there’s been a work effort amongst some of the cities in North County along the coast … to look at any potential for partnering.”

Worden and Councilman Don Mosier requested the item be placed on the council agenda. As liaisons to the city’s Sustainability Advisory Board, both councilmen attended SEE ENERGY, A22

Solana Beach council shown top design for train station project

BY KRISTINA HOUCK A top-ranked proposal that could transform the Solana Beach Transit Center into a bustling city hub was recently brought before the Solana Beach council.

Cardiff-based real estate development company RhodesMoore presented its Cedros Market concept during the Sept.

28 council meeting, outlining a project that would feature a boutique hotel, restaurants, retail stores, office spaces, residential apartment homes and a

three-story parking structure.

“This project is really a key connector that this city badly needed,” said architect Torgen Johnson, who is leading the design team.

Plans to redevelop the train train station and adjacent 1.5-acre site at the corner of Cedros Avenue and Lomas Santa Fe Drive have been in the works for more than a decade. The council rejected the previous $72 million proposal known as Cedros Crossing in 2008.

Del Mar City Council Candidates Forum to be held Oct. 20 The Del Mar Times is hosting its Del Mar City Council Candidates Forum from 6-7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 20 at the Powerhouse Community Center in Del Mar. Former award-winning NBC San Diego news anchor Susan Taylor, who has served as

director of external affairs at Scripps Health since 2012, will moderate the event.

All six candidates for the office of Del Mar City Council have been invited. Attendees will have an opportunity during the forum to submit questions for the candidates.

Two new faces to join water board after election Editor’s note: Last week this newspaper featured the two Division 2 candidates running for the Santa Fe Irrigation District (SFID) board. Below is a feature on the two Division 1 candidates running for the SFID board.

BY JOE TASH The Santa Fe Irrigation District, which provides water to residents and businesses in Rancho Santa Fe, Solana Beach and Fairbanks Ranch, will see new faces on its five-member board of directors later this year, as

two incumbent directors are stepping down from their seats and will be replaced by candidates running in the Nov. 8 election.

Two candidates each are running for the Div. 1 seat, now held by Greg Gruzdowich, and the Div. 2 seat, now occupied by Alan Smerican. Both incumbents opted not to seek new terms. Directors in the district are elected by division, and Gruzdowich’s division covers mostly Rancho Santa Fe, while Smerican’s

is in Solana Beach.

The normally low-profile agency has been in the news quite a bit over the past year or two; first, as California grappled with a severe drought, the state published figures showing that Rancho Santa Fe had the highest per capita water use in the state.

Then, the district joined its fellow water agencies across the state in trying to achieve steep cuts in water use imposed by Gov. Jerry Brown and state regulators. Santa Fe’s SEE WATER, A23

Solana Beach postal workers credited with saving man’s life

BY KRISTINA HOUCK It was a typical Wednesday afternoon.

Joel Gerber was working in the garage of his Solana Beach home. Like many times before, the woodworking hobbyist was using his lathe, a machine for shaping wood, metal or other material.

This time, however, something went wrong.

And, thankfully, two Solana Beach postal workers stepped up to help.

“They’re heroes in my mind — I think anybody’s,” Gerber said.

With the garage door open, Gerber on Sept. 7 was sanding the inside of an 18-inch piece of wood he had previously hollowed out.

Due to the weakness of the wood, Gerber later discovered that it came loose from the lathe’s chuck, a part that holds the object in place. The wood then hit the lathe and sheared off a 20-millimeter steel bolt, which broke the hollow piece of wood in half. One half hit the floor, while the other half hit Gerber on the right side of his jaw and in his sternum.

“That’s what threw me through the air,” he said.

Gerber flew three or four feet through air, landing on his back and hitting his head on the concrete floor of his garage.

Postal workers Greg Wilder and Joe Meyer heard the incident, which they later said sounded like an explosion. Gerber said they immediately called 911 and ran to his side.

“I don’t remember any of that because when it happened, it knocked me unconscious,” Gerber said.

“They saw me unconscious, bleeding from the noise, the chin, the ear and the back of the head.

There was a lot of blood from what I was told.”

Bob & Kathy Angello

Meyer retrieved Gerber’s wallet and cellphone from the home, which he gave to the paramedics once they arrived.

Gerber, who had been unconscious for seven minutes, was rushed to Scripps Green Hospital in La Jolla. A CT scan confirmed he was not hemorrhaging from his brain. His jaw, however, had been pushed into his ear.

Gerber received 35 stitches in his chin and another 25 or so stitches in the back of his head.

That evening he underwent surgery to reconnect his jaw.

“I’m doing quite well,” Gerber said in a phone interview last week. He noted that his wife, Judi, wasn’t at home at the time of the accident, but after she received the call, she quickly came to be by his side.

“One thing sticks in my mind: I wouldn’t be alive but for these two postal employees.”

Now semi-retired, Gerber is a federal judge. He was appointed by the late President Ronald Reagan in 1984.

Gerber has been a woodworker for 30 years and has worked with a lathe for close to a decade. He often donates his wooden bowls and other objects to the Oceanside Museum of Art and other local charities.

Although Gerber had met both Wilder and Meyer before, his street is not on their typical route. Therefore, he has not yet had an opportunity to see them since his accident, but he did drop off personalized thank-you letters and gift certificates for the heroic duo at the Solana Beach Post Office.

“This is just a beautiful story where two civil servants saved somebody’s life — a citizen who they were serving,” Gerber said.

Canyon Crest Academy student creates film to raise awareness about loss Sonia Halle lost her father to cancer last year

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Inspired by the loss of her father, a Canyon Crest Academy freshman recently screened a film she created in an effort to bring awareness and understanding to the community about youth and families that are dealing with a cancer diagnosis and treatment.

By completing and screening the film, Sonia Halle also earned her Girl Scout Silver Award. The Girl Scout Silver Award is the highest award a Girl Scout Cadette can earn.

Sonia Halle “The Silver Award is about impacting your community and changing it for the better,” said Sonia, a 14-year-old Carmel Valley resident.

Sonia wrote and directed a short-film based on her experience with her father’s lung cancer diagnosis, treatment and passing. She was an eighth grader when her father died at the age of 55 last September.

“You don’t see a lot of awareness being raised about kids of people who have had cancer, people who are married to them or their best friends,” she said. “I wanted to raise awareness for the support of family

“Please Tell Me This Isn’t Real” follows a teenage girl’s journey as she vlogs her thoughts and feelings through the progression of her father’s cancer diagnosis.

The 20-minute film’s main character is based on Sonia.

“It’s a really great format because it’s raw and more personal,” Sonia said. “It’s like you’re going through it with them.”

Sonia has had years of experience on stage, but this was her first time behind the camera.

Since she was 9 years old, Sonia has performed at several local youth theaters in San Diego and is currently an active troupe member of Theater of Peace, an acting

“I’ve never really done anything as professional and significant as this,” Sonia said about her behind-the-camera work.

Sonia started working on the script in February. As writer and director, she worked with an executive producer, director of photography, several actors and other professionals in the industry.

“I didn’t realize how much work it would be,” said Sonia, who is currently in rehearsals as Goran in San Diego Junior Theatre’s “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,” which runs Oct. 28 through Nov. 13 at Casa del Prado Theatre.

FROM FORUM, A1 “Working together we’ve accomplished a lot that we can be proud of today,” Parks said. “I am running for council to finish what we started.”

“Over the last four years, we’ve accomplished much … and we’ve done it all in a fiscally responsible manner,” Corti added. “I ask you now to allow me to serve you another four years because there is much to do and finish.”

From revitalizing downtown to maintaining safe access to the beach and bluffs, to solving the city’s short-term rental issue, incumbents and challengers agreed on most priorities.

Druker, who previously served on the council from 1996 to 2008, disagreed with the other candidates on two key issues.

Druker opposed a proposal to end the city’s law enforcement contract with the Sheriff’s Department and build a standalone police department. Instead of creating its own department, he said the city should expand its contract with the Sheriff’s Department.

“We do not need our own police force,” Druker said. “The added bureaucracy, the added potential liability, could kill Del Mar.” Since its incorporation in 1959, Del Mar has contracted with the Sheriff’s Department for law enforcement services. The city began exploring its law enforcement options more than three years ago when residents raised concerns over the cost of services, the lack of police presence in the community, and the slow response to low-priority calls. There have also been concerns over the rising cost of services.

Benedict, a member of the city’s finance committee, spoke in support of the proposal.

The sheriff’s subcommittee, an offshoot of the finance committee, has studied the costs and

supported the idea of a standalone department.

Benedict said he would like to hold a public workshop after the New Year so community members can learn more about the proposal.

Stubbs also supported making a change and Corti, a liaison to the finance committee, agreed.

“The security services that our community desires and needs is not being met by the Sheriff’s contract and the Sheriff’s contract is spiraling out of control,” Corti said.

Parks and Haviland both said they need more information before they can make a decision on developing a police department.

“I think there are a lot of questions that need to be answered before I can support having our own police department, but I do think that as a community, we should look at ways to better address community policing so people feel like the individual characteristics of their neighborhood are understood by the law enforcement community in our city,” Haviland said.

Del Mar voters will voice their opinions on a variety of issues this November.

In addition to selecting three candidates to fill three council seats, voters will have their say on two Del Mar initiatives. Druker also disagreed with the other candidates on one of these initiatives.

Driven by opponents of the controversial Watermark project, Measure R, if passed, would require voter approval for development projects in any commercial zone that are 25,000 square feet or larger by amending the community plan, housing element and municipal code.

The council in July agreed to place the initiative on the November ballot rather than adopt an ordinance they didn’t support.

“There is no history of a runaway council in

Flu Shots

Del Mar,” Parks said. “Time and again, when a big project had a split vote or confusion in the community, our council has brought that project to a vote of the citizens.”

Druker argued that Del Mar residents should be able to decide on large developments.

“Del Mar residents should have the ability for direct say on major developments,” Druker said. “Measure R gives us this ability to have a say on changes to the community plan on development only that are larger than 25,000 square feet.”

All candidates, however, said they supported Measure Q, another ballot initiative that would increase the city’s sales tax by one cent to help cover the costs of various city services and infrastructure projects.

The finance committee initially proposed the sales tax increase earlier this year as a way to help pay to underground utility poles throughout the city. The council later decided that revenues could also help pay for other projects, such as implementing the Shores Park master plan and improving streetscapes.

Supporters have said the measure would create a way for visitors to help pay for some of the city services and infrastructure. Many local business owners, however, have opposed the measure and argued it would create a burden on local businesses.

When discussing the possible negative impacts of the initiative, Stubbs said it could set a tone for how Del Mar feels about visitors, while Druker said it could serve as a disadvantage to businesses.

“This tax may have some impact on the businesses in town and make them uncompetitive with businesses in neighboring communities,” Druker said. “So therefore, I believe, we need to help the businesses with

S AV E

some of this money by doing Camino del Mar streetscape so that they will have, and we will have in turn, a more inviting atmosphere to serve the tourists.”

While acknowledging the concerns of local businesses, Haviland said she thinks the tax is “justified.”

“We have a lot of city improvements that are currently unfunded that I think we need and will greatly benefit the city — not just the residents, but also the businesses,” Haviland said. “I would want the funds to go to the top priorities that are determined by our residents and how those funds get spent would also require citizen oversight.”

If the measure passes, candidates agreed that the citizens should set the funding priorities.

“I would be looking back to the community as to how you want us to prioritize that money and I would support that decision,” Corti said.

Benedict was the only candidate who gave his personal opinion on how he wished the money would be spent. He championed undergrounding the city’s utilities.

“They will never come down unless we find a way to fund it,” he said. “I think this is a wonderful way for us to improve the quality of life for our city and improve our safety.”

Another forum to discuss Measure R is scheduled for 6 p.m., Wednesday, Oct. 5, also in the council chambers.

Del Mar council candidates will have another opportunity to share their views on issues facing the city in the second candidate forum from 6-7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 20 at the Powerhouse Community Center. Hosted by the Del Mar Times, the forum will be moderated by former NBC San Diego news anchor Susan Taylor, who now serves as director of external affairs at Scripps Health.

SURMOUNTING OBSTACLES

Parkinson’s patients to climb Machu Picchu

BY PAM KRAGEN Climbing to the remote Peruvian citadel of Machu Picchu would be a challenge for most hiking groups, but when a third of them have Parkinson’s disease, it’s an even more impressive feat.

In mid-October, 30 people from all over the country — nine with Parkinson’s — will spend five days trekking to the ruins of the 15th century Incan city in the Andes Mountains.

The San Diego-based group is climbing to raise money and awareness for promising stem cell research that might one day dramatically reduce the symptoms of the progressive neurological disease.

Among the climbers are Poway resident Elena Andrews, 58, and Scripps Ranch residents Ron Phillips, 57, and Doug Burcomb, 63. All three have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s in the past five years. They say training for the climb with weekly group hikes has reduced their symptoms and they’re excited to help with the cutting-edge stem cell research under way at Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla.

“It’s inspiring,” said Burcomb, who will be climbing in October with his wife of 30 years, Margie. “As I’m preparing for this it seems like I’m getting younger, not older.”

The Machu Picchu ascent is the third mountain climb since 2011 organized by Sherrie Gould, volunteer executive director of the nonprofit Summit for Stem Cell. A nurse practitioner at Scripps Clinic’s Movement

Disorder Center, Gould works closely with Parkinson’s patients. Back in 2010, she was asked by Scripps neurologist Dr. Melissa Houser to come up with a creative way to get patients more involved in stem cell research.

Gould went and talked to Scripps Research Institute director Dr. Jeanne Loring, who said that Parkinson’s is one of the diseases most likely to respond to stem cell treatment. If

Gould could come up with six Parkinson’s patients and $300,000 for research, Loring said the Institute could jump-start its work on the disease.

“I went for a run at Torrey Pines and tried to figure out how to do this. The weirdest thing is it never crossed my mind that I couldn’t raise the money. It just seemed like the right thing to do,” Gould said.

But first she needed a signature event. She chose her own bucket-list dream of climbing Tanzania’s 19,341-foot Mount Kilimanjaro. On Sept. 17, 2011, she and 15 other people (3 with Parkinson’s) topped Africa’s tallest peak, and in the process they raised $350,000 in donations.

“The analogy we used was ‘if we can summit the highest ceiling point in all of Africa, then we can raise the money and make this research happen,’” Gould said.

The money from the climb was used to hire Dr. Andres Bratt-Leal as the new program director for Parkinson’s research at Scripps Research’s Center for Regenerative Medicine. It was also used to find and biopsy the needed patients for the study.

In 2006, Japanese doctor Shinya Yamanaka made a scientific breakthrough by converting ordinary human skin cells into “pluripotent” stem cells (cells that can be converted into any type of human cell). The manufactured skin cells were not ethically compromised (like fetal stem cells) and were DNA-matched to the patient. Dr. Bratt-Leal hopes to use this technology to turn patients’ skin cells into dopamine neurons that can be transplanted in their own brains to replace those neurons lost to Parkinson’s.

Patient Doug Burcomb said he’s eager to be on the ground floor of the stem cell research.

He was forced to retire from his job as a corporate lawyer three years ago because of the progression of the disease. At the time he was SEE HIKE, A21

CCA to hold auditions for students to be on stage with Broadway star Susan Egan The Canyon Crest Academy Foundation will be featuring a live show with Broadway Star Susan Egan at the annual CCA gala “Rendezvous In Paris,” to be held Feb. 25 2017.

Egan, a Tony-nominated singer and entertainer, will bring her acclaimed “Onstage with Susan” to CCA’s Proscenium Theater.

In support of the CCA Foundation’s mission to enrich the experience of students, Egan has invited CCA students to perform with her onstage at the gala. Students will be chosen from auditions, and will have opportunities to perform in a few larger chorus pieces, some smaller ensemble and possibly trio selections, as well as the opportunity to sing a duet.

Auditions for singers will be held Oct. 10-11, after school.

Egan has traversed all four corners of the entertainment industry, making powerful impressions in theatre, film, television and music.

She was last seen on Broadway in the title role of Thoroughly Modern Millie; she won critical acclaim as Broadway’s (longest-running) “Sally Bowles” in Cabaret; originated the starring roles in Triumph of Love and State Fair; and most notably, received both Tony Award and Drama Desk nominations for “Best Actress” as Broadway’s original “Belle” in Disney’s Beauty and the Beast.

Among her regional credits, Egan starred alongside Carol Burnett in Sondheim’s Putting It Together, Tommy Tune in the national tour of Bye, Bye Birdie, reprised her role of “Belle” for the Los Angeles premiere of Beauty and the Beast, and developed works at Yale Rep, Baltimore Center Stage, South Coast Rep, and the Mark Taper Forum.

Proceeds from the gala will help fill the gap between state school funding and the quality educational programming expected in the community.

The Winston School appoints new Head of School The Winston School’s Board of Directors has appointed Dena Harris as its new Head of School as of Aug. 1, 2016.

Harris’ experience in working with students with learning differences made her the logical leadership choice to direct the school’s mission to provide a positive and individualized learning environment for students with a wide variety of learning differences.

“We are thrilled to have Dena Harris on board to take Winston to the next level and expand our learning model and the way it changes the lives of our students and families.” said Laura Cunitz, president of the Winston Board of Directors.

“Dena’s expertise with fundraising, leading edge curriculum and innovative technology solutions make her an excellent fit for the Winston vision.

Harris, 42, previously served as the chief executive officer of the award winning San Diego Global Vision Academies (SDGVA), a nonprofit public charter school with 320 elementary and middle school students grades K-8. Prior to that, she was director of curriculum and instruction at MAAC Charter School in Chula Vista, and has been an educational technology consultant.

Harris is a key figure in the San Diego charter school movement and serves as a vice chair board member for the San Diego Unified School District Charter School Facility Committee that manages the Proposition Z Bond measure and $350 million in bond monies.

Harris’ knowledge of special education came through her on-the-job role as director of special education at SDGVA and through an 18-year private practice as a reading and educational specialist.

A graduate of the University of California at Santa Cruz with a teaching credential from San Diego State University and a writing fellowship from the University of California at San Diego, Harris also has a master’s degree in education and credentials as a reading specialist. She began her career in education as an elementary school teacher.

Harris previously served on the Board of Directors of the International Dyslexia Association.

Golf outing supports veterans’ families Oct. 29 Carmel Valley resident Kenneth Simone is hosting the 2016 Veterans Independent Project Golf Outing on Saturday, Oct. 29 at the Admiral Baker Golf Course in San Diego. The outing will help support homeless veterans and their families in the greater San Diego area.

The outing will begin at 8:30 a.m. in a four-person scramble format. There will be prizes for closest to the pin and longest drive, a putting contest, raffle and much more. Lunch, beverages, golf and cart are all included in the $150 per golfer contribution.

The Veterans Independence Project was founded by Simone’s friend Richard Valero. Valero is a U.S. Navy veteran and a SEAL who started the 501c3 charity to help homeless veterans find housing, educational opportunities and employment.

The Oct. 29 outing is donating funds to the Toussaint Academy, a part of Father Joe’s Village, to help homeless teens and young adults find educational opportunities outside of the normal school channels. These teens, some of which are children of veterans, represent the best chance to break the cycle of homelessness, Simone said.

“They are being afforded opportunities on the USS Midway and through other organizations to learn about the world around them and the opportunities they have with education,” Simone said. “Making these kids more aware of what is possible for them and giving them alternative ways to solve problems is a meaningful pursuit.”

Deacon James Vargas from Father Joe’s Village will be speaking at the luncheon following the golf tournament at 1:30 p.m. To attend the luncheon only is a $60 contribution.

Ocean Air Elementary School supports San Diego’s Ronald McDonald House Ocean Air Elementary School students recently joined the Red Shoe Crew for the third time to support families with children in local hospitals. Students kicked off the week with a video made by the Student Council explaining the many services San Diego’s Ronald McDonald House offers families and how their donations would help them. Students wrote cards encouraging the families and signed a poster to be displayed in the front hall of the House. Student Council leaders then collected donations in Ronald’s big red shoes before school.

Through their incredible efforts, Ocean Air students raised over $1,150 — allowing them to reach their goal to provide a “home away from home” for a family for an entire week and to feed dinner to all of the families that visit the House for a hot meal after a long day at the hospital. Ronald McDonald House Charities of San Diego is so appreciative of their continued efforts to care for families during a difficult time in their lives!

Ocean Air students helped raise funds for Ronald McDonald House.

A A O   F   C Sugeily Cervantes was living in Rancho Santa Fe with an aunt and uncle when she enrolled at MiraCosta College’s San Elijo Campus in the fall of 2014. “Two of their three kids went to MiraCosta and they just loved it,” Cervantes said. “They wanted me to have the same opportunity to go to a great college.”

Cervantes, who transferred to UC Irvine and is on her way to earning a master’s degree in educational leadership, is not alone. MiraCosta College is providing an appealing option for students in some of North County’s pricier ZIP codes, and one in eight MiraCosta College students who graduated in 2015 are graduates of high schools in the southern, more affluent areas of the district.

“Not all students are ready to move across the country when they graduate high school, and MiraCosta offers them a valuable alternative,” said Eric Dill, interim superintendent of the San Dieguito Union High School District.

“Aside from the economics involved, students get an outstanding education across numerous course options from expert instructors in a very supportive environment.”

Anthony Koutoufidis agrees. He could have attended almost any university on his list when he graduated from Torrey Pines High School in June of 2004, but the Carmel Valley resident opted for MiraCosta College.

“It just made sense,” said Koutoufidis, who now works as manager overseeing clinic operations at Scripps Coastal Medical Center in Solana Beach. “I didn’t want to go into debt, and I was able to take all the classes I needed before transferring to UC San Diego.”

UC system in the fall of 2016 were for STEM majors.

Koutoufidis saved thousands of dollars by taking his prerequisite courses – including biology, organic chemistry, physics and calculus – at MiraCosta College instead of UC San Diego. “They were rigorous courses,” said Koutoufidis, who earned a Bachelor of Science in Human Biology. “But you get more of a one-on-one education and all of the support you need. You’re not just a number stuck in a large class.”

Cervantes made the most of her MiraCosta College experience. After enrolling at the San Elijo Campus, she became active in student government and was elected vice president of the San Elijo Campus. She graduated with an associate degree in sociology in 2014 and transferred to UC Irvine. She graduates this spring and will pursue a master’s degree in education administration.

“To be honest with you, I actually liked MiraCosta College better than UC Irvine,” Cervantes said. “If I could have earned my bachelor’s degree at MiraCosta, I never would have left.”

MiraCosta College last year secured the green light to offer a bachelor’s degree in the burgeoning field of biomanufacturing—the first of its kind in the nation. The first cohort of students is set to enroll in the fall of 2017.

“I would recommend MiraCosta to anyone,” Cervantes said. “Why spend $40,000 a year for a school when you could get a comparable education at MiraCosta?”

MiraCosta College In fact, MiraCosta College has one of the highest transfer rates to the University of California out of all the community colleges in San Diego County, and nearly half of all MiraCosta College transfer applications to the

PREPARING STUDENTS TO TRANSFER

As the cost of attending University of California and State University schools rises, more students are starting their education at the community college level. MiraCosta College helps to ensure that students who can’t afford the high price of a university still have the opportunity to succeed in college and careers.

PREPARING STUDENTS FOR CAREERS

MiraCosta College is an essential part of the North County economy. We are a critical partner to local employers in biotech, manufacturing, and other industries that help our area and economy thrive.

SERVING OUR VETERANS

MiraCosta provides job placement, job training and counseling to approximately 1,800 Navy, Marine and other military veterans and their families each year.

OUR READERS WRITE Increase safety, stop additional train noise pollution As a believer in the old adage “there are two sides to every story” I would like to present the flip side of the people complaining about getting ticketed for trespassing on the railroad tracks in Del Mar. One point that hasn’t been raised is that that when conductors see people walking, jogging, bicycling, pushing their baby in a stroller or walking their dogs or kids on or next to the railroad tracks they are obligated to blow their horns.

For all of us that live near the tracks the noise is unpleasant and disruptive to say the least.

Already in Del Mar there are many flashing lights, warning signs, warning bells and loud blasts from every passing train. Now with the people breaking the law and trespassing on the tracks and railroad bed we get the additional warning blasts and horns from the trains over and over.

There are legal places clearly marked for crossing over the tracks. Let’s use those, increase safety, eliminate the need to ticket people for illegally crossing and stop the additional train noise pollution.

Just sayin, Robert Dalton Del Mar

Anything but a ‘fake issue’ Mr. Coad had a letter published in the Sept. 29, 2016 Solana Beach Sun on the Solana Beach CCA process. In reply, I offer that there is but one vote this fall by the city council yet to take place to select a bidder to establish a CCA. After that, the council completely on its own while applying a yet-to-be- created community communication plan, which Mr. Zito stated was yet to be defined at the Sept. 28 2016 council meeting (as required

TVIA-SD2 WHEELCHAIR BASKETBALL CONTINUED FROM A14 een Volunteers In Action SD-2 joined the athletes from the Adaptive Sports and Recreation Association Oct. 1 in an exciting game of wheelchair basketball.

T

by state law AB 117 as part of Chapter 838 of the Public Utilities Code), can obligate the city to a CCA process.

The selected bidder, to be determined this fall, will have provided pricing on three phases of activity, including program development, launch, and operation No further proposals, negotiations, or public votes are required, and the council can then dictate that we will all be opted in, meaning forced to participate, into whatever construct is produced by the successful bidder.

We can then, after being forced to join, go through some yet-to-be determined process, with a cost no doubt of money and labor, exit the agreement we were forced to join initially.

Perhaps the city will reimburse a person deciding to opt out for the work and cost involved to opt out, but it would be respectful of individual rights to allow people to initially choose to be a customer, rather than the reverse.

I also do find it incredulous to think that a rational person could conclude that a government-created entity, called a CCA or JPA, is somehow “competition” for another somewhat government-created entity, that being the monopoly awarded to SDG&E. At least SDG&E has some stockholder equity at stake to address performance risk. With a CCA, and possibly a JPA to follow, the taxpayers will cover all risk to legal and financial, plus technical, performance. The city is indeed establishing itself as an electrical service provider, whether through a public/private arrangement, or a JPA arrangement. In either case, the city will commit taxpayer funding to establish, operate, contract, and manage electrical service to the city residents.

In conclusion, while costs per kilowatt hour are advertised as comparable to current SDG&E rates, those per kilowatt hour costs will not include the financial management risk and mitigation of that risk, especially if the JPA construct is selected. I fully expect other administrative and management costs to be contained in non-obvious city budget line items. This is anything but, as Mr. Coad calls it, a “fake issue.”

Indeed, as another letter writer stated in the Sept.

28, 2016 issue, without the required opt-in procedure, proponents of CCAs know the CCA would fail. See page 66 of the city’s technical analysis for the entire quotation, available at solana-beach.hdso.net/docs/CAC/CAC-SB-CCA.pdf Bill Stoops Solana Beach

Kudos to Sutton Thanks for printing the education articles from Marsha Sutton. I don’t have any kids in the system, so the articles are not of much interest to me other than how the school district will waste my subsidy, but I am still very thankful someone other than the coyote is watching over the henhouse. Keep up the good work Marsha!

Seaweeders tip: Organic gardening's secret weapon

Looking for a sure-fire, organic antidote to a broad array of garden pests? Neem oil is a safe, all-purpose alternative to commercial pesticides.

It is effective in controlling pests, such as aphids, leaf miners, mites, mealy bugs, moth larvae, and white flies. It can also help combat fungal diseases, such as black soot, powdery mildew. Neem oil comes from a South Asian tree, Azadirachta indica, and has been used for centuries in waxes, oils, and soaps.

You can buy neem oil already diluted or make your own spray from concentrate. Be sure to review directions for use.

For more green thumb tips, join the Solana Beach Garden Club at 6:30 p.m. on the second Wednesday of each month (except July and August) at the Center for Healthy Living (yellow cottage) behind the Boys & Girls Club, 5 33 Lomas Santa Fe Drive.

Education Matters

BY MARSHA SUTTON

Microscopes and clarinets vs. raises and the surplus

L

ast week’s column ended with the assertion that the San Dieguito Union High School District, with its just announced $4 million surplus, should stop asking parents for money for basic classroom and program essentials that the district should be financing.

Two examples that the district has not fully funded were offered: an $1,800 lunch sunshade at La Costa Canyon High School and the science lab at Diegueno Middle School.

Since then, several more parents have come forward with other examples of projects and programs in the academic arena left to parents and foundations to fund.

One of the most frustrating is the lack of financial support for music programs.

One San Dieguito Academy parent said the amount of time, money and effort parents donate to raise funds to support music is considerable.

The parents, she said, are very enthusiastic about the program.

“We have so many people volunteering to help and to donate funds,” she said. “It’s really a great supportive group.”

Parents are asked to contribute $300 each year to meet the budget, which includes raising money to pay for coaches and to purchase and repair instruments.

The group works hard on events like Cabaret night to find ways to save even $100 to cover intermission snacks.

But there is growing resentment.

Years ago, she said the district paid for music coaches at SDA to work with individual brass, woodwind and

percussion sections. At Oak Crest Middle School, she said the music coaches worked with students who didn’t know how to play an instrument at all.

“This is crucial for the program,” said the parent, who asked to remain anonymous.

The district no longer pays for music coaches, she said, because the district “ran out of money.”

The district, she said, has the money back now, and the program could use its financial help.

At La Costa Canyon, home of the district’s only marching band, fundraisers are held throughout the year and each family is asked to donate $350.

“The music program has always had inadequate support from the district,” another parent told me, saying the band is down to about 34 musicians.

San Marcos High, the Poway schools and Carlsbad High have huge marching bands, she said. “There aren’t any big demographic differences between these districts that account for it, so I have to put it down to our district’s policies.”

Music education has been shown to improve academic and social development, she said, adding, “The evidence is out there, but our district turns a blind eye to it.”

Dedicated parents who give so much of themselves to support their children’s education shouldn’t have to work so hard to raise money for things the district used to pay for and should be funding.

Danica Edelbrock, a parent at SDA, said teachers asked parents at

Back-to-School Night for donations for petty classroom supplies, like Kleenex. And she said the science department asked for cash to buy lab supplies.

“Teachers shouldn’t have to worry about supplies,” she said. “In our district they should have the funds to buy what they need before the year even starts.”

She said parents donate anyway, because they care about the quality of their children’s education.

“I feel bad for the teachers having to ask for money and supplies in our wealthy district,” she said.

Foundations The four comprehensive high schools all have nonprofit foundations which raise hundreds of thousands of dollars each year for academic and extra-curricular programs.

According to its website, Canyon Crest Academy Foundation donations pay for programs and services that are more than “extra”: books for the media center, classroom computers and software, the world language lab, guest artists, facility upgrades for the theater and gym, pool rental, sheet music, costumes, lab equipment, science supplies, and more.

LCC foundation’s newsletter says tens of thousands of dollars have been raised to fund after-school tutoring, a speaker series, campus beautification projects, two new classes, a 3-D printer for the engineering department, $10,000 for science supplies, $5,000 for photography classes, and more than $35,000 for various academic departments.

SDA’s foundation raised money in 2013-2014 for the following: $68,000 for the robotics dept., $27,000 for speech and debate, $25,000 for materials and supplies for classrooms, $15,000 for writing tutoring, $12,500 for Chromebooks for the computer lab, $10,000 for music, and much more.

At Torrey Pines High School, its foundation, according its most recent newsletter, hopes to raise $400,000 this year to support engineering, business and accounting, culinary arts, computer science, biotech and

Del Mar council race seems like old times Editor’s Note: This column reflects the opinion of Gordon Clanton only, not the Del Mar Times.

Del Mar votes. After three uncontested city council elections, Del Mar is engaged in a campaign season that stirs memories of the old days when city politics was more polarized.

For the first time in eight years, colorful yard signs are sprouting

like flowers all over Del Mar. A recent candidates forum at the temporary City Hall at Southfair revealed sharp differences on key issues between and among the six candidates for three seats. You can view video of the event at http://delmar.12milesout. com/video/meeting/ 9acc04dc-061d-49f2-9188 -6bebd86367ce The Del Mar Times is hosting

its Del Mar City Council Candidates Forum, 6-7:30 p.m. on Thursday Oct. 20 at the Powerhouse Community Center in Del Mar. Former award-winning NBC San Diego news anchor Susan Taylor will moderate. All six candidates have been invited. Attendees will have an opportunity to submit questions for the candidates.

I urge Del Mar voters to meet,

television production programs – as well as to buy computers, printers, cameras, and specific classroom essentials for teachers. Money also goes for programs that address student support, connectedness and well-being.

These are just some examples of the kinds of programs supported by parents – not to mention the athletic programs that rely on parent donations for coaches, uniforms and supplies.

Athletic departments – where pay-to-play is still the name of the game – are the worst violators of relentless badgering for cash, whether approaching parents directly or by asking parents and students, unbelievably, to provide names and email addresses of other family members and friends to be solicited by outside firms.

This strong-arm approach that borders on intimidation is common practice with high school sports teams throughout the district.

One parent told me she is convinced her son won’t play if she doesn’t pay the “suggested” fee or if she protests publicly.

Even though their grievances are valid, few parents are willing to put their names to their complaints for fear their children will suffer retribution by coaches or teachers.

Legitimate frustration Teachers should not have to beg parents for money, and parents should not have to fund classroom essentials like notebooks, microscopes, musical instruments, books and computers.

Parents have been beyond generous in donating to their schools on behalf of students, and San Dieguito has benefited enormously from their generosity.

But when the district comes out of a deep recession and finds itself with extra cash, teacher raises are important but so is district funding for academic needs.

If it’s true that there’s now a $4 million surplus, as Interim Superintendent Eric Dill said at the last school board meeting, imagine what could be done with just

hear, and question all the candidates. One benefit of being the smallest city in San Diego County is the access this allows to council candidates. You can phone or e-mail these people and they will get back to you.

They will listen to you. They will meet you for coffee.

Apart from this pivotal council election, Del Mar voters face two ballot measures that will have a profound long-term impact on the little city by the sea.

Yes on Q. This one-cent sales tax, 80 percent of which would be paid by visitors to Del Mar, would finance infrastructure upgrades, new parks, and the undergrounding of utilities.

Specific improvements would be determined by community

one-fourth of that amount. One million dollars would go a long way to funding some of these programs and classroom supplies that parents were willing to pay for during the recession.

According to a recent story in this newspaper, SDUHSD Chief Financial Officer Delores Perley said the district in 2015-2016 realized $1.5 million in savings on books and supplies.

It feels wrong for the district to congratulate itself for saving so much money on supplies while parents are being asked to pay for these items.

The reportedly under-funded Pathways programs (classes like biotech or engineering that lead to a path of study) could also use a little more (a lot more?) district help.

“As we’ve reconfigured our previous CTE [Career and Technical Education] programs into career pathways, we’ve had to divert more funding to start-up costs, like equipment and supplies that we didn’t need before, and for teacher training to further develop the additional sequences,” Dill said.

“We are investing more this year than we did last year.”

Dill said the district spent about $2.1 million last year on CTE, and this year just under $2.3 million is budgeted.

Of that $2.3 million, just over $1.8 million – or about 80 percent – is for salaries and benefits, and about $326,500 is for books and supplies.

Based on reports from parents and foundation wish lists, apparently that $326,500 is not nearly enough.

Before granting the enormous 12.5-percent salary raises, perhaps consideration could first have been given to more funding for the programs and projects that foundations and parents are being asked to pay for.

There is legitimate frustration over the relentless requests for money when the narrative from the district is that it enjoys a healthy fiscal position.

Parents deserve some relief, and it’s not too late for the district to oblige.

workshops and surveys – the Del Mar Way. There is no organized opposition.

No on R. There are better ways of blocking the controversial Watermark Project, high-density housing proposed for the SE corner of Jimmy Durante Blvd and San Dieguito Dr. As written, this ballot measure would create legal and financial problems for the city and would have the unintended consequence of blocking desirable projects as well as undesirable development.

School board elections.

Much is at stake in this cycle of school board races as big special interest money flows into races that once were low-key and low-budget affairs. So do your homework for the sake of our

schools and our kids.

Even if you don’t have kids in public schools, the quality of local schools is a community good from which we all benefit, not least in rising property values. Good schools make your home worth more.

Beach Cities Politics. The Rancho Santa Fe Democratic Club will feature city council candidates from Encinitas, Solana Beach, and Del Mar at 6:30 p.m. Thursday, Oct.13 at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club. I will moderate. Info and RSVP link at RSFDEM.ORG or phone 858-735-6404.

www.delmartimes.net FROM HIKE, A7 struggling with anxiety, hand tremors, problems with typing on a keyboard and cognitive processing issues.

“I’d lose whole packets of words and I couldn’t find them when I needed to,” he said.

The Kilimanjaro quest funded only the first phase of the project, so in 2012 Gould went looking for another mountain to climb. For inspiration, she asked Carolynne Arens of Vista. Carolynne and her husband, Brad, were among the first to sign up for Kilimanjaro and she couldn’t wait for another adventure.

Brad Arens, 62, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s 14 years ago. An avid outdoorsman, hiker and traveler, he was working as a chiropractor when he began suffering symptoms of the disease.

Carolynne said the diagnosis came “as quite a shock.”

Before the Kilimanjaro climb, which he did with Carolynne and their daughter Heidi, Brad could only walk backward without stiffness and mobility problems.

But after a few months of hiking training, he was walking forward again, and ended up as the strongest hiker on the Kilimanjaro team.

At Carolynne’s suggestion, Gould organized the next Summit for Stem Cell climb to the Khumbu Valley base camp of Mount Everest in Nepal, at 17,300 feet. The arduous, two-week trek was longer, harder and more expensive to organize, but nine people (three with Parkinson’s) finished the climb in 2013.

As word of the foundation grew, donations began to pour in from around

NORTH COAST - OCTOBER 6, 2016 - PAGE A21

the country. To date, Summit for Stem Cell has raised nearly $5 million, including a $2 million state grant. Gould said that with FDA approval, Dr. Bratt-Leal hopes to transplant 10 patients with the pluripotent stem cells in early 2018.

Patient Ron Phillips said the attraction of Machu Picchu was a big draw for him to sign up to climb this fall (each hiker must raise a minimum of $2,000), but he is also eager to fund the research. Phillips, who was an avid biker and climber before he became ill, said he struggled for months with troubling symptoms, like a right hand tremor, before he was finally diagnosed four years ago.

“It was good to finally know what it was, but on the other hand, it’s something nobody wants to have,” he said.

To prepare for this fall’s climb, Phillips gets up at 5 a.m. three days a week for hikes with his training buddies Elena Andrews and Carolynne Arens, who’s climbing this year not with her husband or daughter, but with her 28-year-old son, Chris. All three say they’ve formed a lifelong friendship from the experience.

Andrews, who works in the floral department at the Rancho Bernardo Inn, was diagnosed with Parkinson’s five years ago after suffering a year-long bout with depression and noticing she was tripping when she walked and had weakness on her left side. To arrest the progression of the symptoms, she began fitness training and boxing. And when she heard last spring about the Machu Picchu climb, she was one of the first to sign up. She will be climbing with her 22-year-old daughter, Tess.

“The training, the hiking, the boxing, they’ve all been really helpful keeping me

active so Parkinson’s doesn’t get the best of me,” Andrews said.

Hiker Mike Abrams of San Diego has already raised $4,200 in donations for the cause. In his online fundraising campaign, he describes his battle with Parkinson’s as a struggle against increasingly challenging symptoms.

“The other day I had trouble getting the front-door key into the lock; sometimes I drive around in circles because I can’t decide which direction to go; typing and texting sometimes take great willpower,” he wrote.

The majority of the climbers next month are from San Diego, though some are traveling from as far as Georgia to participate. Jim and MaryAnne Slegers of Nampa, Idaho, have joined the climb and have been trained with the group on some weekend hikes around Southern California.

The five-day Machu Picchu climb, on the Salkantay portion of the Inca Trail, is less strenuous than the last two Summit climbs.

The 28-mile hike includes crossing over a 15,000-foot peak on the second day of the journey.

Gould said reaching the famed city of Machu Picchu will be an achievement, but it’s the training — which began with weekly group hikes in April — that’s the real healer.

Hikes that took the patients six hours last spring are now being finished in four, and symptoms are waning.

“As a clinician, it’s almost miraculous to watch people with Parkinson’s disease get better,” Gould said. “It’s hugely inspiring to see them growing stronger every day. I think it’s crazy great.”

FROM ENERGY, A1 two meetings that were sponsored by the city of Encinitas and included elected officials and staff from other North County cities.

In May, a subcommittee of the Encinitas council held an early meeting with representatives from Del Mar, Solana Beach, Carlsbad, Oceanside and Poway to share information and explore potential interest in forming a regional Community Choice Energy JPA. Community Choice Energy strategy enables local governments to aggregate renewable energy supplies within and across jurisdictions to satisfy energy demands while continuing to operate with an existing electricity provider for transmission and distribution services.

In June, the subcommittee held a second meeting with representatives from Del Mar, Solana Beach, Carlsbad, Escondido, Oceanside and Poway, along with a SANDAG

representative and members of the public, to continue to explore a potential partnership.

Potential partnering cities have expressed interest in completing a feasibility analysis to better understand the feasibility of forming a JPA. Before determining resources for such a study, however, each city must first request electronic load data from SDG&E. The cities of Encinitas and Oceanside have already passed similar resolutions. A similar resolution is on a future agenda for the Carlsbad council.

A step ahead, Solana Beach is already looking to create the county’s first local power program and has been searching for a service provider to make that possible. The city recently received proposals from three companies interested in helping Solana Beach create a Community Choice Aggregation program.

“The next steps would be to examine doing a feasibility study, which would require reaching

Edward Litton ‘Jerry’Winterer February 14, 1925 - august 30, 2016

Del Mar — Scripps Institution of Oceanography UCSD emeritus Professor of Geology, edward “Jerry” Winterer, died august 30, 2016, at his home in Del Mar, Ca. He was 91.

Winterer was a renowned expert in the study of sediments and was involved in the worldwide Deep Sea Drilling Project which enabled scientists to reconstruct 150 million years of ocean history and to confirm plate tectonics hypotheses about seafloor spreading and other phenomena. after receiving his bachelor’s, master’s and doctorate degrees in geology at UCla, he joined the UCla faculty in1954. While a student, he worked as a geologist for the U.S. Geological Survey from 1949 to 1953. His being awarded the position of Fulbright lecturer at the University of louvain enabled him to meet his future wife and future Mayor of Del Mar, Jacqueline Mammerickx.

They married in 1964

and she joined him as a geologist at Scripps.

Other awards included the Shepard Medal for excellence in Marine Geology in 2000 and an american Geophysical Union fellowship in 2004.

His wife, Jacqueline, five children, eleven grandchildren, and sixteen great-grandchildren survive him. a Celebration of life will be held at the Martin Johnson House on the Scripps campus on October 10, 2016, from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.

agreement with however many coastal cities that participate in this process,” Mosier said. “That would be a separate council action.”

Worden added that experts have said communities need about 60,000 or more meters to have a viable Community Choice Energy program. Del Mar only has about 2,000 meters, he said. The load data would give the city accurate information.

“So we’re like the small fry,” he said. “We’re hoping our neighbors will get together and buy a big, fancy car and we can sneak in the backseat and ride in their car.

“Whether or not we’ll be able to pull that together in the form of a JPA and collectively actually buy the car is a big question mark that’s yet to be resolved,” he added. “Even if we can pull that off, whether or not it makes sense for us to participate in that on a long-term basis — given fluctuating rates, contractual obligations and a whole myriad of things — is also not all that clear.”

FROM TRAIN, A1 With approval from the Solana Beach City Council, the North County Transit District in 2014 solicited and received proposals for a mixed-use development at the train station and adjacent property, both of which are owned by the district.

After the selection process, which included a short-list of four proposals, the transit district’s source selection committee ranked the proposals and listed RhodesMoore as the highest ranked proposer.

Johnson said the Cedros Market concept closely follows the city’s 35-page design guidelines for the site. He added that the project aims to create an attractive commercial destination with sensitivity to community character, context, scale, traffic, parking and preservation of views along the Highway 101 corridor.

“The mission of this project, in essence, is to complete a 20-year vision of seamlessly reconnecting Solana Beach’s west side development with the city east of the train tracks,” Johnson said. “That bisecting of the city occurred about 20 years ago when the tracks were put three levels below grade for safety reasons. There were benefits to doing that but the drawbacks were this bifurcating of the city.”

The existing Quonset hut-shaped train station, which reaches 56 feet at the top of the tower, will remain the tallest building on the site. It will, however, be remodeled into the flagship restaurant on the property.

The design team said the other buildings will be a mix of one- and two-story structures, scaled to preserve existing views of the city.

“Part of the charm of Solana Beach is that it’s not urban; it’s something different,” Johnson said. “It’s dense,

FROM FILM, A5 film until you have to do everything,” she said. “But I had a lot of great help.”

Having recently completed the film, Sonia held a screening Sept. 21 at Mintz Levin, a law firm in Carmel Valley. About 50 people attended the event, which included a talk-back with Sonia, some of the actors and a representative from Elizabeth Hospice to discuss how to relate to kids going through a similar situation.

“It was really great,” Sonia said. “I was really happy with the turnout. From the panel and from the movie I’ve reached 50 people. I’ve taught them that cancer sucks, grieving sucks and death sucks, but here’s how you can help.”

About a week later Sonia held a second screening for Elizabeth Hospice, a nonprofit agency that provides hospice and bereavement services to the terminally-ill and their families throughout North San Diego County.

She’s currently exploring other ways to share her film with more people in the community.

“It’s not only the person with the disease that’s being affected,” Sonia said. “People need to grieve and they’re going to grieve in different ways. They’re going to deal with pain and loss and disease in different ways. It’s important that you let them grieve and it’s important that you’re there to support them.”

it’s walkable, but it’s also charming.

It’s got character.”

The current concept results in about 48,000 square feet of commercial space that includes roughly 14,000 square feet in restaurant space for three main restaurant sites, 24,000 square feet in retail space, and 8,000 square feet in office space. The proposed boutique hotel is about 32,000 square feet, which would be about 45 rooms.

Another 30,000 square feet in residential space would result in about 30 units.

The three-story parking garage would be partially below ground, with the capability of more than 1,250 parking spaces. The plan currently calls for about 750 parking spaces for transit district commuters and 325 spaces for residents, employees and visitors. The development also includes 89 diagonal parking spaces on the street.

Plans also include a proposed bridge for vehicles and pedestrians across the tracks at Estrella Street, which would connect Highway 101 to North Cedros Avenue. There would also be public plaza and green space.

The design team’s presentation did not include project costs or construction dates. City Manager Greg Wade explained that the team is still subject to further negotiations with the transit district’s source selection committee, which is expected to make a recommendation to the district’s board of directors by the end of the year.

“They would then come back to the city for submittal,” he said. “I want to underscore that no entitlement permits have been submitted at this point. It’s just too early in the process.”

The council will have the

opportunity to later weigh in and approve discretionary permits, he added, as well as certify an environmental document.

The Cedros Market concept was one of four competing proposals introduced during two informal public workshops in November 2015 at Solana Vista School and Skyline Elementary School. The design team brought a large-scale model of its proposed concept.

“It was a really useful way to engage with the community, and get community feedback and really understand what people wanted,” one of the members of the design team said about the workshops.

Lesa Heebner and Mike Nichols were the only council members who were sitting on the council when it rejected Cedros Crossing in 2008.

“I think that the council stood up and did the right thing,” Heebner said. “NCTD at the time was not the NCTD it is today.”

Heebner encouraged community members to look over the current project and continue to provide feedback. She also thanked the transit district for collaborating with the city and listening to the community’s concerns.

“This looks a lot different from the other one — a whole lot different,” Heebner said.

“I’m pleased with the feedback and the good relationship that we’ve developed with NCTD. I know this is meeting your needs as well as our community’s needs.”

Nichols and his council colleagues agreed.

“You have made this a priority to have an all-inclusive attitude on this project, which is so different than it was before,” Nichols said to Matthew Tucker, executive director of NCTD. “I think that says a lot about the success that has happened to date.”

www.delmartimes.net FROM WATER, A2 state-mandated target was to reduce its water use by 36 percent in 2015, which it largely achieved.

Last year, the district commissioned a cost-of-service study, to determine its revenue needs in the coming years and apportion those costs fairly to customers. That study led to a vote earlier this year to raise rates by an a maximum average of 9 percent annually over the next three years, with the first increase taking effect June 1.

Directors split along geographical lines on a number of key votes, including the rate increase. Gruzdowich and Director Marlene King, who both represent inland divisions with larger lots, voted against the rate plan and other related measures, while Smerican, board president Michael Hogan and Director Augie Daddi, who represent divisions in Solana Beach, a more densely populated area, voted for the measures.

Ken Dunford, who sat on the Santa Fe board for a decade before losing his seat to Gruzdowich in 2012, is running against Derek Clotfelter for the Div. 1 seat. Following are profiles of the Div. 1 candidates, in the order in which they appear on the ballot.

NORTH COAST - OCTOBER 6, 2016 - PAGE A23

Derek Clotfelter Clotfelter, 46, was born in Rancho Santa Fe, where his family has been involved in business and civic affairs for several generations. His grandfather served on the Santa Fe Irrigation District board, and his father served on the board of the Rancho Santa Fe Association.

Clotfelter moved away with his family when he was a child, and later lived in such diverse places as Spain, Chile, and Portland, Ore., where he pursued a career in the financial services industry. Three years ago, he moved back to Rancho Santa Fe to work with his family’s real estate development business.

Clotfelter and his wife, Marisel, have a son and a daughter who both attend the R. Roger Rowe school in Rancho Santa Fe. He said he was looking for a way to give back to the community, and decided to run for the water board.

“This is an opportunity to get involved and roll up my sleeves and get some work done,” he said.

Among his priorities if elected, he said, are analyzing SFID cost structure, comparing current costs to its historical budgets and other, similar water utilities; working with managers and the board to evaluate rates and charges based on true costs of

tunein tunein

service; continuing to break down water uses to separate out true residential; and continuing to focus on developing recycled water sources.

The district has already embarked on a number of those initiatives. For example, in the past year, it hired a consultant to conduct a detailed cost of service study to determine revenue needs and how to distribute costs equitably among customers. It is moving forward with a proposal to bring recycled water to the Rancho Santa Fe golf course. And at its September meeting, the board approved an agricultural rate for commercial growers.

Clotfelter praised the district for its work in dealing with the drought and other issues and said he wants to help continue its progress.

He would also like to offer district residents incentives to encourage them to remove lawns and other thirsty plants and replace them with drought-tolerant landscaping.

While Clotfelter has not held elective office before, he said he offers strategic and operational expertise from his work in the financial services business, and also from serving on the board of a nonprofit school his children attended in Oregon. His experience includes helping to

forge consensus among people of diverse backgrounds, he said.

As Clotfelter sees is, the community has two good choices with himself and his opponent.

“I’m here to help out the community and this is the way I chose. If it doesn’t work out I’ll find another avenue,” he said.

“I’m not going to become a professional politician.”

Ken Dunford Dunford, a retired civil engineer and businessman, served on the Santa Fe board from 2002 to 2012. A resident of Rancho Santa Fe for 36 years, he also is an elder at the Village Church, and has served on a variety of committees, including the Rancho Santa Fe Art Jury.

He and his wife, Jan, his “high school sweetheart,” have three daughters and six grandchildren.

With his background in engineering and construction, Dunford said, “I feel I have a lot to offer for work that needs to be done within the district.”

Among his priorities if elected, Dunford said, are maintaining the district’s aging infrastructure, protecting the district from “unfair” state regulations, and continuing to manage costs, from health benefits and pensions to salaries.

Dunford said the district needs to stay on top of maintaining its

$300 million system of pipes, pump stations and other infrastructure, which requires expenditures of $5 million to $6 million per year.

The district has done a good job of keeping costs down, evidenced by its low rates in relation to other San Diego County water agencies and its triple A bond rating, Dunford said. The district must “keep costs under control,” he said, which requires ongoing efforts.

The district also has to look beyond its own borders to the state capitol, where decisions will be made that affect local water agencies, Dunford said, such as last year’s order for drastic cutbacks in water use.

“We must not stand on the sidelines as those things are debated in Sacramento,” he said.

Dunford described himself as “fiscally conservative, “ and said he would have opposed board decisions in recent years to pull funds out of reserves rather than raising rates. And he said he would have supported the rate plan approved on a split vote of the board earlier this year, in contrast to the current Div. 1 incumbent, Greg Gruzdowich, who voted against the measure.

“I would have supported the plan, yes,” Dunford said. “I feel it was done professionally and fairly.”

Nature and Culture International 20th anniversary celebration

N

early 150 people gathered Sept. 15 at the Powerhouse Community Center in Del Mar to celebrate the 20th anniversary of Nature and Culture International (NCI).

The event also celebrated international conservation and honored NCI’s founder and Del Mar resident Ivan Gayler with the inaugural E.O. Wilson Biodiversity award.

“I realized long ago that I could build another shopping center like the Del Mar Plaza but never in a million years could I create a songbird, a pink river dolphin or a blue morpho butterfly,” Gayler said. “That has helped me to dedicate my time and resources to help conserve the variety of life on earth. To me the highest expression of life is the variety of life itself.”

Having already helped to save 13 million acres in Latin America to date, NCI has its sights on preserving 20 million acres by 2020. Gayler, along with the other members of NCI’s Board of Directors and supporters, now must focus on raising the necessary capital to continue and expand conservation work before the forest disappears forever. “We have a moral obligation to continue the good work we are doing not for ourselves but for future generations and the health of the planet,” Gayler said.

NCI is a conservation nonprofit aimed at helping local and indigenous people preserve rain forests and other endangered ecosystems throughout Ecuador, Peru, Colombia, Bolivia, Brazil and Mexico. The majority of NCI employees are local Latin American conservationists who work closely with local communities and local governments. More information about NCI can be found at natureandculture.org.

Author Q&A: Time travel, history and fiction – writing second shift

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY ANTOINETTE KURITZ AND JARED KURITZ Writers come from all walks of life, and most of them write their first five books second shift, still holding down their day jobs while building a following. And while about 82 percent of Americans say they have a book in them, only a small percentage of them ever actually finish a book, much less bring it to publication.

Today we talk with local dentist and U.S. Navy Captain (Ret.) Allan (A.K.) Patch about his new series, about history, about time travel – and about how, with a thriving practice, he has managed to write.

Meet Patch, author of “Delphi’s Chosen,” at a Discussion & Signing at Warwick’s in La Jolla, Thursday, Oct. 6, at 7:30 p.m.

Your books have a strong historical component. What role do you feel history plays in our lives?

The old cliché, history repeats itself, is a truism. To understand where we are – and where we are headed – as a society, it is important to understand what came before. When we fail to do this, we operate both individually and as a society at a disadvantage.

Like those of Diana Gabaldon, your novels involve

time travel. To what end?

Time travel is a literary device which allows for wonderful tension within the story’s romantic relationship. As a writer it allows me to separate my characters’ realities; put them in jeopardy without having each other to turn to; throw scenarios at them that test their courage and character and loyalty to the relationship – all while taking the reader along on their ride. And just as importantly, it allows me to juxtapose the past and present and show how history informs our present day.

Why do you set your time travel in ancient Greece?

First, there is so much we can learn from Greek history – their triumphs and disasters. You could say they are like our distant grandparents and their experiences will likely predict ours. Second, doing so allows me to bring in the machinations of the Greek gods, in particular Apollo.

You are penning a series.

What are the benefits and drawbacks of doing so?

In writing a series, I have my main characters in place. I know what the over-arching story line is. And I get the space – in this case word count – to fully develop both through several books. What

COURTESY

Author A.K. (Allan) Patch is sometimes difficult is keeping track of details. I am now editing book three, and it was amazing how many times I had to go back to book one and two to make sure I had prior details correct.

How well do you know your main characters at this point?

Very well – after all, I am about to begin book four. However, for us writers, our characters are living, breathing beings, and as such, they evolve – sometimes surprisingly. So, while I have my story line, and I think I know where my characters will go and

how they will react and respond to circumstances, sometimes they surprise me.

You run a full-time plus dental practice. When do you find the time to write?

Like most writers getting started, I write second shift. I write plot in my mind while running or swimming laps in a pool. Sadly, I have not mastered dictation underwater just yet. But kidding aside, when a writer has a story to tell, we find the time to put it down on paper.

What have you found most

helpful to your writing process?

First, the support of my family.

Second, immersing myself with other writers in writing groups and at writers’ conferences – and having the feedback and support they afford me.

What advice do you give to aspiring authors?

I give several bits of advice.

First, make the time and space in your life to write. Second, join a great writers group; not only will you get regular feedback on your work along with some much-needed socialization, being in a writers group will mean regular deadlines – a certain number of pages between meetings – which keep you on track and accountable. Third, find a good writers conference that covers the art, craft, and business of writing. Because make no mistake, you will need to understand the business. And finally, hear what others have to say about your work, distill it, but in the end know that the story is yours to tell.

Satori Designs sets up shop in Solana Beach

A

fter more than 20 years in business, Satori Designs has finally found a home in Solana Beach.

Located in the heart of Cedros Design District, the shop features an eclectic collection of women’s clothing and accessories in collaboration with local and international designers.

“This is my very first brick and mortar store,” said owner Roya Parviz.

Inspired by art, music, travel and tradition, Satori Designs offers an array of apparel and accessories from around the world.

Among a variety of other pieces, the shop features a Barcelona-based clothing line called Desigual and another exclusive line from France called Rene Derhy. Much of the jewelry, shawls and other accessories come from local designers Parviz has personally worked with over the years. There is also a section for home décor with wall art, other decorations and more.

“I’m always on the lookout for something different,” Parviz said.

Born in Iran, Parviz’s family came to San Diego following the Iranian Revolution. As a young girl, Parviz was exposed to the fashion industry by her mother, who studied fashion design in Austria.

Parviz went on to earn a bachelor’s degree in economics with a minor in visual arts from UC San Diego. After an unfulfilling year in banking, she followed her mother’s footsteps and went on to study fashion design at the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandizing in Los Angeles, where she lived and worked in the fashion industry for seven years.

Parviz started a wholesale business called Satori Designs in 1994. Her business has been a part of co-ops since she returned to San Diego a few years later.

She got her start in Solana Beach at Leaping Lotus. Also on Cedros Avenue, the store has more than 120 merchants in its 21,000-square-foot marketplace.

Parviz later brought her business to Pangaea Outpost’s Pacific Beach and Del Mar locations.

Roya Parviz When Pangaea Outpost closed its store at Flower Hill Promenade, Parviz decided to open her own shop. After more than two decades in business, she opened her very first boutique in July at 146 South Cedros Avenue.

“I was forced to look for something, which was a blessing in

LOCAL EATS

disguise,” Parviz said. “I never thought I could do it on my own.”

Having become a staple in the greater San Diego fashion community since the late 1990s, Parviz often gives back to the community through her business.

Satori Designs, she said, has participated in a number of charity

fashion shows and fundraising events for local charities and foundations, including St. Madeleine Sophie's Center, Epilepsy Foundation, Cystic Fibrosis Foundation and others.

“I’ve been doing that for years,” Parviz said. “It just really feels good to give that kind of a feeling in the community.”

Whether working with charities or with clients in her boutique, Parviz said she most enjoys getting to know people in the community.

With established customers in Del Mar, Solana Beach and neighboring communities, she has already seen a lot of familiar faces as well as new ones at Satori Designs.

“I love the creative part just as much as I love the people part,” Parviz said. “I’m not really in it to make a quick sale; I’m in it for a long-term relationship.”

Adopt a Family hosts Israeli soccer players The Adopt a Family Foundation recently brought six teenagers and their coach, all victims of terror attacks in Israel, to San Diego for a week. As part of their visit, they played in a soccer tournament at San Diego Jewish Academy on Sept.

25 with local teenagers.

The event was done in collaboration with Rabbi Daniel Bortz from JTeen and the participation of Tzofi (Israeli Scouts). The purpose of the event was to continue to bring awareness of the situation in Israel, and to bring the community together.

Here the teenagers’ coach, Aaron Lotzof, shares about his experiences in Israel and San Diego: What is life like where you live in Sderot, Israel?

Life in Sderot due to the security situation is very complex, full of challenges and difficulties. Words cannot describe how hard it is to grow up and raise a family in the city of Sderot.

Rockets fired from Gaza can happen anytime and anywhere.

The sound of the Red Alert is heard all the time. Even when in a safe place, the sound of the Alert brings fears and stress. We have 15 seconds to run to a shelter, and that can occur while working, driving kids to school, shopping or playing.

The Sderot soccer players and San Diego teens.

What are the biggest challenges you face?

From the moment the siren begins the residents have 15 seconds to find a shelter from the rockets. These 15 seconds are crucial for your survival: the people who were killed by a missile in Sderot are people who have not found shelter on time.

My biggest challenge as a father of four children is to gather my children and find shelter in time.

For example, when there is a siren in the middle of the night, my wife and I need to wake up and pick up the children and run for shelter.

This is a huge challenge in 15 seconds How has Adopt a Family helped you?

COURTESY

From the moment I got to know the organization, five years ago, the organization has supported me and escorted me personally in everything I need help with. The organization has helped me emotionally and financially. They have helped me pay my tuition for my academic studies.

The organization adopts families who are victims of terror. Once a year, the organization will host one of their adopted families for a week in San Diego. When the family returns to Israel they are mainly telling about the warmth and the love that they receive from the organization and community. It gives us strength and it makes us realize that people care.

We do not take it for granted and

COURTESY

What did this trip to the U.S. with the teenagers mean to you? What benefits do you see coming out of such an experience?

I believe that the trip to San Diego showed the boys a different world, a beautiful world, where people do not live in the shadow of fear from missiles. The trip took the boys from a frightened and unsettled place in Sderot and brought them to a safe place, which brings a big smile on their faces.

Here they feel safe, although it sounds simple and obvious. For them to walk the streets without fear from missile is a lot. The boys got to experience and see places that they will never forget. This was truly a life time chance and experience!

During this trip, we were able to meet the local community, families who hosted us in Carmel Valley and many families who got involved in the Adopt a Family Foundation project, in collaboration with JTeen San SEE ISRAEL, B23

Solana Beach Fund presents $16,850 to five nonprofits

T

he Solana Beach Fund, a community fund at Coastal Community Foundation, recently presented five grants totaling $16,850 to five nonprofits serving the community of Solana Beach.

The fund received $50,000 in grant applications for 2016.

“We were impressed by the quality of applications and hope the fund will continue to grow so that its impact can as well. All of this year’s recipients are doing important nonprofit work that is directly benefiting our community by bringing generations together, enhancing our sense of community and encouraging service and volunteering,” said Sharon Omahen, executive director of Coastal Community Foundation.

The grant ceremony and celebration was held Sept. 27 at Carruth Cellars Urban Winery and Tasting Room at 118 S. Cedros Ave. with roughly 75 people attending.

For the third straight year, Casa de Amistad, an after-school education and character development program located in Solana Beach, qualified for a grant. Casa de Amistad plans to use the $3,000 in new funds to invest in its data collection and reporting capabilities in order to measure its impacts and identify areas of unmet need.

The 2016 grantees also included two first-time recipients. One is the Community Law Project of California Western School of Law which received a grant of $4,000 to increase its free Solana Beach legal clinic to

The other is Reality Changers, a San Diego-based nonprofit with an active program supporting low-income Solana Beach high school students striving to become first-generation college students. It received $3,000 to expand its robust College Town college prep program.

North Coast Repertory’s Theater School collected $3,000 to help with its summer 2016 youth production of Shakespeare’s MacBeth presented at La Colonia Park for families. This was the Solana Beach theater company’s second grant.

Also receiving funding for the second time was the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy which will apply its $3,850 grant to expand its volunteer program, Citizens Restoring

It’s the one night of the year when San Diego’s animal lovers gather for a party that saves lives.

“We admit that it’s a fundraiser,” says RCHS President Jim Silveira. “Don’t worry. We won’t beg or pick your pocket. What we will do is show you how RCHS is serving the people and animals who rely on us during the times they need us most.”

The Celebration of Second Chances begins with a cocktail reception and heavy hors

Jeff Zevely, host of the “Zevely Zone” on CBS News 8, will return as co-host along with his wife, Heather. The Celebration of Second Chances will also serve as the world premiere of a video created

by Emmy Award winner Zoya Popova.

This year’s Celebration theme is “Planning for the Future – A Groundbreaking Celebration.”

Film screening of 'Bag It: Is your Life too Plastic?' to be held Oct. 16 in Del Mar The City of Del Mar, in partnership with St. Peter’s Church, has organized a free screening of the critically-acclaimed documentary “Bag It: Is your Life too Plastic?” on Sunday, Oct. 16, at 3 p.m. at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, located at 334 14th St., Del Mar, CA 92014.

In May 2016, the City of Del Mar adopted an Ordinance prohibiting single use plastic carry-out bags and requiring a $0.10 cent charge for all carry-out bags. Implementation of the ban is being phased-in for different business types between mid-December 2016 and May 2017. The ordinance was adopted by the City Council as a step toward conserving natural resources, reducing beach litter and marine pollution, and protecting

local wildlife.

The event will begin with a short talk, called “Plastics at Sea: Why do we care?” by Emilia DeForce, Ph.D., followed by a question and answer session. Dr. DeForce works as a Research Scientist at MO BIO Laboratories and is also a Surfrider Foundation volunteer. She received her M.A. and Ph.D. degrees at University of Massachusetts Boston in microbial ecology, studying medically important microorganisms and microbes that live in the oceans.

The event will also include information booths on environmental issues, light refreshments, and give-away reusable bags.

Saturdays at The Ranch

Accomplished RSF resident launches ‘15 Coaches’ project Award-winning business educator, coach and author Marshall Goldsmith, a Rancho Santa Fe resident, recently launched the “15 Coaches” project.

According to Goldsmith, "I am going to teach 15 people Marshall everything that I know – for Goldsmith free. This is my small way of honoring the many wonderful teachers and leaders who have so generously helped me – without ever asking for anything in return –

people like Frances Hesselbein, Alan Mulally, Paul Hersey, Richard Beckhard, Warren Bennis, Peter Drucker – and many more.

“The only ‘fee’ for this mentoring is that the ‘15 Coaches’ who are selected have to promise to do the same thing for 15 other people when they get older. My hope is that this pay-it-forward project may ultimately benefit hundreds, or even thousands, of people.

North Coast Rep to present ‘Laughter on the 23rd Floor’ North Coast Repertory Theatre, which mounted a monster hit last year with Neil Simon’s Chapter Two, is now staging one of Simon’s funniest plays, “Laughter on the 23rd Floor,” the playwright’s love letter to his early career as a writer for Sid Caesar’s “Your Show of Shows.”

“Laughter on the 23rd Floor” will run Oct. 22-Nov. 13 (previews Oct. 19). Described by Variety as “a battery of yuks that barely lets up,” the play recounts his writing, fighting and wacky antics during the days of live television when he cavorted with such comedy legends as Carl Reiner and Mel Brooks. As you clutch your sides in laughter at their wild witty attempts to please their terrifyingly demanding boss, you’ll see why the New York Times hailed Laughter as “one of Simon’s best, most enduring and endearing plays.”

The crowning glory of broccoli

B

roccoli is finally making a culinary comeback after it got a bad rap from Papa Bush, who repeatedly announced his aversion to the crucifer, along with childhood memories of scarfing down mushy camouflage-green stalks that our mom’s overcooked as if they were trying to destroy trichinosis in pork. Today traditional broccoli varieties along with exotic cousins are bountifully offered at farmer’s markets and supermarket produce aisles.

Boons of Broccoli: Native to the Mediterranean coastal regions, wild broccoli was a popular dish enjoyed by the ancient Romans. Not surprisingly, the word broccoli translates from Italian for “cabbage sprout.”

The true broccoli plant that resembles miniature trees with bushy heads and chunky stalks is king of the Brassica family, which includes cauliflower, kale, bok choy and Brussels sprouts.

Broccoli is most potent as a nutritional warrior when eaten raw as cooking depletes the arsenal of antioxidants. It boasts more immune boosting vitamin C than oranges, a rich store of iron to pump up red blood cell production, an impressive supply of calcium that rivals whole milk for bone strength, Vitamin A for eye health, along with anti-viral and anti-carcinogenic nutrients.

Recent studies coming out of the Linus Pauling Institute have also shown that concentrated amounts of the phytochemical sulforaphane contained in broccoli sprouts selectively seeks out and destroys cancer cells without causing collateral damage to healthy cells.

If that’s not enough, research in the U.S., Sweden and China established a strong link to higher rates of breast cancer and low cruciferous consumption. So broc up!

Branching Off: Expand your broccoli horizons with close and distant relatives including: • Broccolini, also called asparation, a slender stemmed crucifer with dainty florets

and deep green leaves is actually a hybrid of broccoli and Chinese kale for a double antioxidant oomph; • Broccoflower, which resembles a pale green cauliflower head is a cauliflower and broccoli cross; • Broccoli raab having more names than a check forger (American gai lan, rabe, Italian turnip, brocoletti di rabe) is a turnip relative with wild herbal lineage. The flat, bright green bitter leaves are reminiscent of mustard greens, while the dainty florets resemble broccoli buds.

• Broccoli rapini popular in Italian and Portuguese cuisines is frequently mistaken for its close cousin raab with similarly large bitter leaves, but fewer florets; • Chinese broccoli also called gai lan looks like kale on steroids with thick stems, large flat bluish green leaves, and tiny flower buds. A member of the Brassica family gai lan has a particularly pungent, bitter flavor profile; • Mighty broccoleaves with prominent stems and ribs are the giant bright green leafy portion of the plant without the flowering crowns. Earthy yet delicate tasting they pack a more powerful phytonutrient punch than the branches and heads; • Delicate-flavored Romanesco, an Italian heirloom brings to mind a prehistoric crucifer with clusters of dinosaur-esque spiraling spikes comprising the pale green florets; • Lovely Technicolor Purple Sprouting Broccoli is an heirloom that produces tender, vibrant violet crowns and stems that add a pop of eye candy to any dish; • Immature broccoli sprouts are three-day-old buds from the plant that resemble alfalfa sprouts yet taste like zippy

Italian Broccoli Raab with Farfalle ■ Ingredients: • 1 pound farfalle • 1 bunch broccoli rabe or rapini, trimmed, coarsely chopped • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil • 4 tablespoons butter • 4 garlic cloves, minced • 1 1/4 cups Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese, grated • 1 cup mushroom, vegetable or chicken broth • 1/4 teaspoon crushed chile flakes ■ Method: Cook pasta for about 8 minutes or until al dente. Drain, set aside. In a skillet heat oil on low, sauté garlic about 1 minute. Add broth, rabe and seasonings, and simmer until tender. Add butter and heat until melted. Pour over pasta and blend in cheese. Buon appetito! radishes. One tablespoon of these potent sprouts has as much cancer-fighting sulforaphanes as a pound of broccoli!

Turn over a New Leaf: Raw broccoli can be blended in smoothies or shredded in creamy slaws. The florets can be tossed in green salads or with almonds or cashews in vinaigrette dressing; wrapped in prosciutto or crispy bacon, or eaten in hand with assorted hummus, Greek yogurt or eggplant dips.

SPONSORED COLUMNS HEIDI BARTOLOTTA Moms Making Six Figures 858.837.1505

Why Working Moms Need Mentors According to Beyoncé, women run the world. While you might think this is an exaggeration or merely aspirational, a recent study from the Peterson Institute for International Economics found that companies are more profitable when more women take on leadership roles within the company.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics revealed that of all women in this country with children under the age of 18 years old, 69.9% were working or actively looking for work.

While the Peterson study is promising, here’s another statistic: only 14% of the top corporate leadership positions of companies in the S&P 500 are held by women. The

number of those women who are mothers is even smaller.

And women in positions of power have a harder time managing their time and priorities when they are mothers.

Sometimes, these moms receive pressure from onlookers, who can accuse them of working too much or not enough.

The one truth is that circumstances are different for every woman, and working moms have to decide how much work and what kind is right for them and for their families. But this is easier said than done.

What women need to navigate this difficult work/motherhood balance are mentors.

Because what statistics don’t show is the cost to many of these powerful women.

Trending research shows that women in top positions in politics inspire other women to take part—not only because they serve as role models but because they make it seem normal for women to hold these positions of power.

What holds true for politics works across the occupational board (and board room).

A brave few can blaze a trail and inspire others, showing that a daunting climb

is still surmountable. But sticking with a hard job, and all the pressures that come with it, on top of being a mother, can be exhausting, physically and emotionally. To survive this, women need more than just a remote role model. This brings us back to mentors.

The difference between a role model and a mentor.

A role model can be anyone, from a female politician, a historical figure, a pop singer, a teacher, or even a fictional superhero. These are examples that serve to inspire people.

But often, these are not the people you can turn to for guidance.

Enter the mentor. A mentor is someone in the field who has been through what you’re going through and can give you sound advice. Mentors have become wiser from their experience and they enjoy empowering others. Mentors are supportive of others in similar situations and can put aside their own interests to help others.

Mentors can also fill in where family members are unable to help. With more people living busy lives or living apart from their traditional family support systems that include grandparents, parents, and extended

family members, women will need to rely on external sources of help and guidance.

Women mentors serve to empower other women and develop a community of assistance.

Not all workplaces look the same. And not all women mentors have to be the CEO or vice president of a company. Sometimes, mentors can be supportive friends and extended family members. But they can also be women within your community. Maybe they are even professional life coaches.

These mentors can provide individuallybased guidance and genuine support and friendship, which can help women get through the daily struggles. Because it’s one thing to have Sheryl Sandberg’s picture as your desktop wallpaper, but chances are pretty good that she’s not going to sit next to you late in the evening when you have a deadline looming and realize you’re going to miss your child’s game or recital, telling you, “You can do this!”

Building Industry Association honors top housing projects and industry professionals at this year’s Icon Awards The Building Industry Association of San Diego County was pleased to recognize some of the best new housing construction within the region. The winners of the 2016 Icon Awards were projects, companies, and professionals that exemplify the high-level design that features some of the most energy and water-efficient housing being produced in the country.

The annual Icon Awards, in its 7th year after being renamed, was held recently at the Westin San Diego Gaslamp with Emcee Dan Cohen, anchor for CBS News 8. The event brought over 500 attendees to see who would come away with top honors representing 36 different categories.

With over 200 nominations and entries, the 5-person panel of distinguished industry leaders from outside San Diego County spent three days reviewing product and interviewing individuals.

“In a time when not enough new housing is being produced to meet demand, it’s wonderful to recognize those projects, companies and individuals that help fuel one of the biggest driving forces in our economy,” said Borre Winckel, President & CEO of BIA San Diego.

Here are a few of the highlighted awards: The Community of the Year award was split between

FROM ISRAEL, B5 Diego. Our teenagers were able to meet teens from San Diego their own age. I believe that the relationship created between them will continue for years to come. This experience truly strengthen our bond with San Diego and Adopt a Family Foundation.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Adopt a Family Foundation, its board and committee, Rabbi Daniel Bortz from JTeen and the families who hosted us, and all those who accompanied us throughout our stay in San Diego.

The boys and I really appreciate this unique experience that was offered to us.
