DMUSD board discusses budget-woe solutions Community meeting is March 11; budget recommendations to be presented March 20

■ A fresh start for Carmel Valley Farmers Market. See page B3

BY KAREN BILLING Furloughs, bumping up class sizes, limiting librarian hours and reducing maintenance and operations staff are all being discussed as potential solutions for the Del Mar Union School District’s budget woes. The district is staring down a $4.5 million deficit for the current school year

and is on track to deficit spend approximately $4 million for 2013-14. “The district cannot continue to deficit spend the way we are spending and be a fiscally solid district,” Superintendent Holly McClurg said, before presenting her budget solutions at the Feb. 27 district board meeting.

In dealing with the budget, McClurg said she has aimed to keep the community as involved as possible. She has held informational meetings at various school sites over the last few months and about 420 people attended. Those in attendance expressed concerns about the proposed furlough days; parents wondered

The document is called the draft Public Works Plan, and it out-

After 13 years, SB approves coastal plan Council says it will consider amendment to resolve disputes BY CLAIRE HARLIN After more than two hours of discussion and public testimony, the Solana Beach City Council on Feb. 27 approved a contentious coastal land use plan that’s been in the works for 13 years, but the issue is far from over. Although there’s still a lawsuit on the books fighting the Local Coastal Program Land Use Plan (LUP), which has been passed back

and forth between the city and California Coastal Commission (CCC) seven times, the council majority deemed it important to move forward with the approval and then submit to the CCC in about six months an amendment the city’s already working on. Tom Campbell, the only dissenting member of the council, said he can’t support approving the document without knowing what future amendments could be, especially since the CCC hasn’t officially indicated it will approve a possible amendment that would seek to resolve ongoSee COASTAL, Page 6

As Solana Beach revisits its ban, plastic bag usage in Del Mar may come up on a future agenda BY CLAIRE HARLIN While it is not considering a ban at this point, the Del Mar City Council on March 4 unofficially voiced support for gathering data on business’s plastic bag usage in the city. Meanwhile, Solana Beach is responding to concern by having city staff review the 10-cent paper bag fee implemented last year as part of that city’s plastic bag ban. The recommendation to seek a date for discussion in Del Mar was first made by the city’s Sustainabili-

ty Advisory Board (SAB) and then brought to the council’s attention by Councilman Don Mosier, at which point officials discussed possibly agendizing the issue for a formal, noticed discussion in the future. SAB has been charged with addressing plastic bag usage in the city to determine whether the city should consider an ordinance to ban single-use plastic bags as some 65 cities and counties across the

Officials authorize $25,000 for study to assess Del Mar’s law enforcement needs BY CLAIRE HARLIN The City of Del Mar on March 4 took a step forward in exploring the possibility of starting its own police force, unanimously approving $25,000 to proceed with selecting a consultant to study the city’s options. By commissioning the study, the city is not only seeking an assessment of its current services and what it would cost to provide them internally, but also an analysis of the city’s crime statistics and demographics to determine what the ideal service should look like.

While the city has made no determination on whether it should pursue creating its own law enforcement arm or partner with a neighboring city, perhaps, Mayor Terry Sinnott said it’s important for the city to have options, which he feels the study will clarify. The request for proposals follows several city discussions and a January presentation from the Finance Committee regarding the rising costs of contracting with San Diego County for law enforcement services, as well as concerns about decreasing service levels.

Solana Beach approves completion of east side traffic calming project BY CLAIRE HARLIN It was a bumpy road for the City of Solana Beach, but officials on Feb. 27 finally approved the completion of a traffic calming project on east Lomas Santa Fe and Highland drives that met opposition almost all the way through the process. Estimated at $285,000, the project ended up costing just over $387,000 and included re-striping and signage to calm traffic along Highland Drive between Sun Valley Road and San Lucas Drive, as well as new curbing, gutters, sidewalks and bike lanes on Highland. The original project included a lane reduction from four to two lanes on Lomas Santa Fe, but was scrapped after the community overwhelmingly opposed it. This time around, the city also met resistance regarding the median restriping because the community felt the medians

took up too much space and pushed traffic too close to parked cars, City Manager David Ott said. The city has assured the community it will seek alternatives if residents are not happy with the changes. The city renegotiated with the contractor midway through the project after residents asked for more residential striping in the neighborhoods and median upgrades along Highland Drive between San Lucas and San Andres drives. The city implemented the striping and painted the medians at citizens’ request, however, officials are conducting further evaluations before considering raised medians. Douglas Alden of the city’s bike committee said he was happy with the striping, however, he said he would like to see the installation of bike counters in that area near San Dieguito Park.

Del Mar school district to hold Common Core information nights for parents BY KAREN BILLING Parents will be hearing a lot more about Common Core State Standards in the coming months and year as the new educational methodology will start in the 2014-15 school year. To help parents understand what the Common Core is and what it means for their children, the Del Mar Union School District

will host information nights in the next two months. A parent Common Core Math Night will be held March 7 at 6:30 p.m. at Sage Canyon School. A second event is planned for April 23 at 6:30 p.m. at Ashley Falls School. “These standards do have the potential to reform education throughout the country. It’s a very exciting time to be in education,”

said Shelley Peterson, DMUSD assistant superintendent of instructional services. “I’m really optimistic about the potential of these standards.” The Common Core will be a “new educational methodology and assessment that provides a clear and consistent framework for all children, that aims to See CORE, page 16

DM school district’s Children’s Creative Workshop Del Mar Council calls for more progress, financial to be replaced with summer enrichment program reporting of Tourism Business Improvement District as well offer a “plan your trip” function and show hotel bookings and availability — which will help measure the success of the marketing campaign, McCue said. Public relations efforts and media kits are also being developed. McCue said there is currently a balance of $213,000 for efforts including marketing, web development, photography, direct mail and administrative costs. Expenditures for 2013 are estimated at $165,000. About $30,000 is set aside for streetscape, according to McCue’s presentation. Councilwoman Sherryl Parks said while much is being done in the realm of the Visit Del Mar website and marketing efforts, she would like to see more being done with the streetscape, as was originally proposed. She also said she would like to see more reporting and feedback on the dollars used, pointing out that last month the TBID spent more than $6,000, which multiplied by 12 months, could account to more than $115,000 annually. One problem presented as being a reason for slow progress is the fact that there are only five lodging businesses in Del Mar and therefore only five members on the TBID board, making it hard to achieve a quorum. Parks suggested adding more, non-hotel members to the board, however, Mosier said the non-profit’s rules were purposely written to limit the board membership to hotel owners.

BY KAREN BILLING Del Mar Union School District has opted to change its summer offerings. The district will no longer have the Children’s Creative Workshop, instead offering its enrichment program in the summer, provided by vendors that the district already has. The summer enrichment programs offered in July will be popular programs, such as Spanish, Chinese, fencing and creative clay that are already offered throughout the school year by the after-school program. Another popular CCW program that is being re-imagined is the kindergarten readiness program. It will now be called SKIP Into School, offered in July and taught by credentialed teachers. “We are really keeping many of the same instructors as CCW, we’re just augmenting it and adding so much more to it,” said Julie Geisbauer, director of early childhood/afterschool programs. Geisbauer said they re-evaluated the needs of the kids and learned parents wanted more academics in the district’s summer programming. She said CCW was more popular

in its earlier years because there wasn’t as many offerings when it first started; parents used to have to rush to register because there were no alternatives in the summer—now there are. Where parents still rush to register is with the district’s after-school enrichment classes and Geisbauer hopes their success will continue if offered in the summer months. The summer enrichment program will run July 8 through Aug. 2 with DMUSD’s contracted vendors offering foreign language, music, science, engineering, fine arts, chess, writing, web design and physical fitness. SKIP will also run July 8 through Aug. 2. There will also be other additional summer offerings such as the district’s summer camp from June 17 through Aug. 15, led by the district’s after-school program childcare staff. Kinder Kamp will run June 24 through Aug. 9 and will be a full-day program for students entering kindergarten in the fall. Child Development Center Summer Camp will run June 24 through Aug. 9 for children ages 2 to 5 years.

Del Mar Schools Education Foundation fundraising deadline is April 30; Donations needed BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Schools Education Foundation Interim President Drew Isaacman reported at the Feb. 27 school board meeting that the foundation has raised $540,000 so far for the 2013-14 school year. The foundation has $1.5 million left to meet its $2 million goal to fund a full Extended Studies Curriculum, which includes specialized instructors in science, technology, music, art and PE. The foundation’s fundraising deadline is April 30. “The campaign is actually going quite well, we’re at the same pace as last year,” Isaacman said. He said one-third of parents have contributed so far and the foundation’s goal is 100 percent participation—Isaacman noted it’s time for parents to step up. As with every year, fundraising events tend to be back-loaded at the end of the school year. “We fully intend to be able to meet our goal,” Isaacman said.

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Del Mar City Council members voiced frustration on March 4 that the city’s Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID) has made little progress since its incorporation three years ago, while it continues to collect money. The sentiment followed an update on the TBID and its Visit Del Mar campaign, presented by Michelle McCue of McCue Marketing Communications, which was hired by the TBID last September to steer branding efforts. Under the TBID, those efforts, meant to promote overnight stays in Del Mar, are funded by the hotels’ share of 1 percent of gross short-term room rental revenue in the city. While Mayor Terry Sinnott said the report on marketing efforts was great, he said he would like to see a full report of accomplishments — “the kind of thing I think every year the TBID is supposed to come forward with to report the finances, report the results, report the accomplishments, in addition to what you still have on your plate to achieve,” he said. While Councilman Don Mosier agreed the marketing efforts presented were “nice,” he said the council is not yet seeing the return on investment it anticipated when it authorized the TBID. To date, the firm has designed a logo and tagline, “Your California Dream,” as well as developed a website that McCue said will launch in April. The site will feature a destination video to be shot next weekend,

Del Mar approves river valley JPA agreement, nudges City of San Diego to pay its dues BY CLAIRE HARLIN The Del Mar City Council on March 4 unanimously agreed to extend a partnership agreement that empowers and holds accountable neighboring cities in maintaining and operating the San Dieguito River Valley. The move served not only as the city’s pledge to continue contributing $60,000 in annual dues to the JPA, but also an effort to set a good example for the City of San Diego, which has failed to pay its dues — about $300,000 annually — for the past three years. The Regional Open Space Joint Powers Authority (JPA), which includes some amendments, will go into effect after the current agreement expires next year. The San Dieguito River Park JPA was formed by the County of San Diego and the cities of Del Mar, Escondido, Poway, San Diego and Solana Beach. Don Mosier, who is on the JPA board, said San Diego Mayor Bob Filner has assured stakeholders that funding will be restored, but the city hasn’t taken action. “We unfortunately are one of the smaller cities as part of the JPA, but we are one of the most important because we sit right at the river mouth and we are such good supporters of all of the JPA,” Mosier said. San Dieguito River Park Executive Director Dick Bobertz said the park has been held back in increasing new trails in the face of funding setbacks, and hopes the JPA, as well as the trail system, will be “made whole again” sometime this year. There is a specific concentration on linking the trail east of Del Mar from El Camino Real to Crosby Estates. He said the river park has also been held up because two properties on either end of the trail are amid development plans. The JPA preserves the open space park system along the 55-mile-long river valley that extends from Volcan Mountain just north of Julian to the river’s mouth at Del Mar. It has acquired 2,976 acres for watershed and open space protection, constructed and maintained 40 miles of trails and a 990-foot-long bridge, as well as restored hundreds of acres of habitat for wildlife and a historic pioneer farmhouse. The river park also holds frequent free public education programs and trail walks. For more information, visit www.sdrp.org.

Friends of CV Library looking for support to remove streaks from library’s exterior BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Library is celebrating its 20th anniversary in July this year and it is the Friends of the Carmel Library’s mission to make sure the library looks good for its special birthday and the next few chapters of life. While on the inside the library looks great as it is buzzing with activity and has the highest circulation in the city, on the outside it needs some work, said Suzanne Bacon, president of the Friends of the Carmel Valley Library. Black streaks have marked the façade, seeming to ooze down from the roof and windows. “The exterior [of the library building] really doesn’t match that feeling the community has for the See LIBRARY, page 16

COASTAL continued from page 1 ing disagreements with homeowners and environmentalists. “I can’t make that leap of faith,” said Campbell. “I just can’t do it. Why? I’ve sat up here for 18 years and I’ve seen how they play the game … If the CCC really wants to work with us and come up with language that we both agree on, but they

TRANSIT continued from page 1 A presentation on the updated plan, which was originally released in June 2010, was made at a joint meeting of SANDAG’s regional planning and transportation committees. SANDAG oversees planning for regional transportation projects, and administers the proceeds of a voter-approved sales tax earmarked for transportation. The agency is governed by elected officials from local cities and the county.

The city has also already proposed a “work-inprogress” list of new changes to the LUP that could be considered as amendments after the city undergoes a public comment period, and some changes could be made at the implementation stage — this process of creating the Local Implementation Plan (LIP) is yet to come. Proposed changes were released on Feb. 25, and the CCC is still reviewing the list.

are not willing to say that publicly, then there is something really wrong with the process.” Mayor Mike Nichols said he is willing to take that leap of faith, not only because the CCC seems to be cooperative, but because the momentum has been strong and positive. “I’d like to see that momentum continue,” he said, adding that the ongoing lawsuit brought by homeowners and the escalating

frustration on both sides puts the city in a particularly tough position. He said approving the plan locks in the more-than-a-decade of work the city has done and “doesn’t leave us open-ended.” Solana Beach is the only city in the county to not have an LUP in place, and the issue is particularly heated in part because of the city’s eroding bluffs, which the state and environmentalists want to pre-

serve by limiting development and seawalls. Meanwhile, blufftop property owners fear losing their valuable homes and contend that restricting development is akin to the state’s taking of their property. The CCC approved the draft LUP in March but then added more than 150 amendments in June — prompting two property owner groups to sue the state entity. The city then circulated the draft in Octo-

ber, opening up a public comment period that culminated in late November. The city then held a public hearing in December, and since then has had more than 10 working sessions and phone conferences with state officials and local homeowner and environmental stakeholders. During that time, significant progress has been made and areas of discussion have become more focused, said Solana Beach officials.

“It’s a major milestone for us,” said Allan Kosup, a Caltrans official who oversees projects along the I-5 corridor, of the updated Public Works Plan. On Friday, the agencies sent out 85,000 postcards, informing coastal North County residents that the plan is available for review and comment. Two public meetings to gather comment on the plan are also scheduled: on Wednesday, April 3, from 6-8 p.m. at La Jolla Country Day School; and on Thursday, April 4, from 6-8 p.m. at the Carlsbad Senior Center. Kosup said at Friday’s

meeting that the project now includes some $200 million in environmental mitigation, tailored to each of the six lagoons along the 27-mile corridor. Following the release of the first version of the plan, Kosup said, members of the public wanted assurances that environmental and trail projects would not be put on the back burner in favor of highway and rail enhancements. “I look at this as the implementation blueprint for the $6.5 billion investment,” Kosup said. Caltrans and SANDAG hope to submit the revised plan to the California Coastal Commission sometime this summer, and have a hearing before the commission by the spring of 2014. If the plan is approved, Kosup said, construction of the first phase of work on I-5, which consists of one new carpool lane in each direction from Manchester Avenue to State Route 78, could begin in 2015. Ultimately, the project will add two new express lanes in each direction of the freeway, from Oceanside to La Jolla. The plan envisions completion of all the projects by 2040. In addition, the plan calls for numerous road, rail

and environmental projects: • Direct access ramps, allowing commuters to enter express lanes directly, rather than having to cut across several lanes of highway traffic. • New and upgraded park and ride lots. • Pedestrian crossings under the freeway to allow coastal access. • Train station improvements, including a special events platform at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. • Lagoon restoration and coastal habitat preservation. • New bike/pedestrian bridges, adjacent to I-5 to allow north-south access across lagoons. • New 27-mile North Coast Bike trail to complement the existing Coastal Rail Trail, and connect to the east-west Coast to Crest trail. As planning proceeds on the projects contained in the Public Works Plan, the agencies are also working on marketing efforts designed to reduce freeway congestion along the North County coastal corridor. A report provided at Friday’s meeting details efforts to convince commuters to consider alternatives to solo driving such as walking, biking, taking public transit, car-

pooling, vanpooling or working from home. SANDAG has already conducted market research including focus groups, surveys of employers, interviews with school officials and roundtable discussion forums with business groups and community organizations. Employers estimated that 80 percent of their workers drive alone, and that commute distances are long: the survey found that at 20 percent of companies, most workers live more than 20 miles from their workplace. The Public Works Plan released Friday is also consistent with state Senate Bill 468, which requires that rail, highway, coastal and community improvements and environmental mitigation along the North County coast be developed concurrently, said a SANDAG staff report. State and federal highway agencies decided in 2011 to add four lanes to the existing eight lanes on I-5 between La Jolla and Oceanside, after North County coastal residents opposed a more ambitious, six-lane option. However, some community members continue to call for the development of public transit instead of widening freeways as a way of reducing traffic congestion.

Yoga Tree in Solana Beach A new sculpture has been added to the City of Solana Beach’s popular Temporary Public Art Program at the corner of Highland Drive and Sun Valley Road, across from San Dieguito Park. Titled “Yoga Tree,” the 12-foot piece was inspired by a common Yoga posture known as “Tree Pose.” Created by artist Brennan Hubbell, the sculpture balances firmly on one foot as it stretches upward seeking harmony with the setting. This is the latest piece in the City’s Temporary Public Art Program, which is funded through a dedicated Public Art Fee attached to qualifying development projects. —Report and photo courtesy of City of Solana Beach

BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board approved T Mobile’s plan for antenna replacement on a faux water tower on Carmel Valley Road near Rancho Del Sol, but nixed T Mobile’s accompanying landscaping plan. Board member Anne Harvey said the landscaping plan does nothing to enhance the rural vegetation surrounding the site, doesn’t make any sense and would actually

draw attention to the site. The board requested T Mobile simply add some shrubs, such as native toyon around the base of the tower. The existing six antennas will be replaced and mounted behind a concealment screen, not visible to the public. The board’s Pacific Highlands Ranch representative Manjeet Ranu also requested that an unauthorized Davidson Homes sign on the property be taken down.

Carmel Valley planning board election features contested seat BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board will hold elections for eight board seats on March 28 at the Carmel Valley Library from 5-5:30 p.m. Voters must have identification to prove local residency. Neighborhood 5 is the only one of the eight seats up for election that is contested with candidates Debbie Lokanc and Elissa Krasenbaum. Lokanc is the incumbent and a realtor; Krasenbaum is an art educator who said she is a “concerned resident interested in continuing to see Carmel Valley grow and become more of a community.” Other new candidates include Jonathan Tedesco for the Pacific Highlands Ranch district 12 seat that is currently vacant and Brian Brady who seeks Jill McCarty’s business seat as she has termed out after eight consecutive years of service. Tedesco has lived in the Carmel Valley area for 10 years and in the North Coastal area for about 25 years. He has served on several homeowners associations and nonprofit organization boards. He and his family live in the Arabella community of PHR. With the business seat, Brady would represent Kilroy Realty on the board. Unopposed candidates need just one vote to be elected and they include Neighborhood 1 representative Rick Newman, Nancy Novak for Neighborhood 3. Chris Moore for Neighborhood 6, Laura Copic for Neighborhood 10, investor representative Rodney Hunt and developer representative Allen Kashani. The planning board meeting will follow on March 28 at a new time and location. The meeting will be held at 6:30 p.m. at Ocean Air School (11444 Canter Heights Drive, San Diego, 92130). The One Paseo traffic discussion is on the agenda so far.

Carmel Valley planning board approves speed limit change on Carmel Park Drive BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board approved raising the speed limit from 25 mph to 35 mph on Carmel Park Drive at its Feb. 28 meeting, which will allow for police to do speed enforcement on the street and use speed radar and traffic calming measures. The speed limit will change between Worsch Drive and Del Mar Trails Road. California Vehicle Code requires surveys of public streets every seven years and that survey concluded that the posted limit be increased to 30 mph. The planning board had the option to support the limit remaining at 25 mph or being increased to 30 mph. In January, board member Chris Moore expressed concern about raising the speed limit so close to Carmel Del Mar School and wanted to ensure the school was aware of the change before the board made a decision. Chair Frisco White said he received a letter from the Carmel Del Mar principal in support of raising the limit.

Torrey Pines planning board to hold elections March 14 The Torrey Pines Community Planning Board (TPCPB) will hold elections on March 14 from 6:30 to 8 p.m., for nine of the 16 seats on the board. The meeting is held at the Del Mar Hills Academy Performing Arts Center (PAC), located at 14085 Mango Drive, Del Mar, 92014. The TPCPB is an officially recognized local advisory group of elected volunteers who evaluate issues affecting the community. The board makes recommendations and communicates neighborhood concerns to the City of San Diego. Major issues such as the Kilroy-One Paseo project, and I-5/SR-56 connectors present a unique opportunity to get involved in community planning. Contact dennisridz@hotmail.com if you are interested in running for the board or working on the Project Review Committee. The following seats are up for election: 2 Business seat; 2 Residential seat for Area 1; 1 Residential seat for Area 2; and 4 Residential seats for Area 3. Area 1 comprises the area located north of Del Mar Heights Road, west of I-5, and extending towards the northern terminus of the community.

Del Mar woman to chair Planned Parenthoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 50th anniversary dinner â&#x20AC;˘R osanne Holliday recognized for longtime efforts to ensure â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;access to reproductive health care for allâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; BY KELLEY CARLSON As one of the honorary chairs for Planned Parenthoodâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s upcoming 50th anniversary dinner, Rosanne Holliday has found a golden opportunity to bring together past and present leaders. In coordination with honorary committee member Linda Katz, Holliday is making an extra effort to encourage board officers and members from the last five decades to attend the Pacific Southwest chapterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s celebration, set for May 9 in San Diego. With pride, Holliday â&#x20AC;&#x201D; herself a former leader with the organization â&#x20AC;&#x201D; notes that the local chapter is one of the nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s largest affiliates, with 19 health centers in San Diego, Riverside and Imperial counties. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s remarkable what weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve done (over the years),â&#x20AC;? she said in a phone interview, from raising money for medical centers to establishing a relationship with the Mexican national family planning organization, MexFam. Holliday has been instrumental in PPPSWâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s success, and has been a proponent of the group for more than 40 years. Her involvement began not long after she moved from L.A. to Del Mar in 1968 with her husband, Joel â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who was starting a new business, Spin Physics â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and her then-8-month-old

Hollid a y h a d worked as a traini n g consulRosanne Holliday tant for Head Start in L.A., and she became a professor at Southwestern College in Chula Vista after establishing a nursery school at Rady Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hospital. While at Southwestern, Holliday invited speakers from Planned Parenthood to speak to her child development classes. And when she suspected she was pregnant with baby No. 2, in 1973, Holliday stopped by one of PPâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s clinics for a test on her way home from work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remember my joy when Planned Parenthood called to say the test was positive,â&#x20AC;? she recalled, in a previous PP interview from about a year ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I screeched with delight. The woman at the other end of the phone said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Do you know what positive means?â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I realized that most of the time, she was delivering bad news when she said â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;positive.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was impressed with how careful they were (when they told me),â&#x20AC;?

fected her teaching negatively. Holliday continued to teach at Southwestern for the next 24 years, until she retired. While still a teacher, Holliday decided to become more directly involved with PPPSW, and joined its board of directors in the late 1970s. While serving as board chair from 1986-88, Holliday said some board decisions were made that directly impacted the long-term direction of PPPSW. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of those is that we voted to provide abortion care ourselves, rather than referring to other providers,â&#x20AC;? she said in the previous PP interview. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Up to that point, we had provided a substantial array of womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s reproductive health care and educational services, except for abortion services. As a board, we formed a committee, headed by Marion Dixon, and for a year, we gathered information and studied the pros and cons of providing abortions. We had many heated conversations about this issue, but in the end, our board was unanimous with one abstention. I still remember that meeting! It was a brave decision because Operation Rescue was just beginning to picket our clinics with their anti-abortion activists literally blocking the entrance to clinics so that patients couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get

phone interview. After she gave birth to daughter Katherine, Holliday continued to work at Southwestern â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but not without controversy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I became embroiled in a struggle with the president of the college over whether I could bring Katherine ... and her baby sitter to work with me so that I could nurse and play with her during my breaks,â&#x20AC;? Holliday explained. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The college Board of Trustees passed a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;ruleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; known as the April Foolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s policy on April 1, 1974, that no employee could have a minor child on campus while they were on duty, even if the child was in the care of another adult. It became a news article in the New York Times, Ms. Magazine, and even Stars & Stripes.â&#x20AC;? It didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t make sense, Holliday said, who was working 20 hours a week, often with two to three hours between teaching classes. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want her (Katherine) to have a long time without me,â&#x20AC;? she explained via phone. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t run home at lunchtime. It was more of an attachment thing, and breastfeeding was crucial.â&#x20AC;? It took almost two years to resolve the issue, but eventually, Holliday presented her case to a state hearing board, and it was determined that Katherineâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s presence on campus had not af-

in.â&#x20AC;? She also noted the decision to collaborate with MexFam, the Mexican national family planning organization. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of our board members, Phil Klauber, who was asked to share his thoughts on the last day of his board tenure, noted that our region encompassing Baja California and Southern California shared similar health concerns. He suggested that if Planned Parenthood was really going to be effective in our region, we needed to ensure services were being offered in Mexico, as well. Taking this good advice, we developed a wonderful relationship with MexFamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s director, Alfonso Lopez-Juarez, attracted significant foundation support and started to build programs in the Baja region that flourish to this day under the name of an organization called Fronteras Unidas Pro Salud.â&#x20AC;? Upon retirement from her teaching career, Holliday decided to continue her involvement with Planned Parenthood, citing Vice President of Development Keith Limberg and deep friendships with other volunteers as her influences. She was invited to serve on the board once again, from 2001-07. During that time, she chaired the $16 million â&#x20AC;&#x153;Caring For the Fu-

SDJA students invite all to participate in ‘Walk to End Genocide’ April 7 BY KAREN BILLING San Diego Jewish Academy sophomore Zander Cowan is working to organize his Second Annual Walk to End Genocide at Ocean Air Community Park in Carmel Valley on Sunday, April 7, from 9 a.m. to noon. The one-mile walk aims to raise awareness, support and hope for the survivors of genocide in Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo. Almost six million people have lost their lives to the genocide and mass atrocities in Sudan and Congo. More than three million people have been displaced from their villages in Sudan and 200,000 people are surviving in refugee camps in Chad. An estimated 45,000 people die each month in Congo. The one mile walk is sponsored by and will support Jewish World Watch (JWW) and is being planned by a philanthropic young team of SDJA sophomores: Zander, Naomi Suminski and Ilana Engel. Zander and his classmates first learned about JWW in the eighth grade, after a presentation on the genocide in Congo and Su-

dan in his Jewish studies class. Zander said the whole class was inspired to help and sold blue rubber bracelets stamped with the words “Decide to End Genocide”; they were able to raise $1,700. “It really hit home at our school. Since (genocide) has happened to us, I feel like it’s my job to help those who can’t be helped,” said Zander, whose grandmother hid in an attic for four years during the Holocaust. “It’s an issue that’s close to home and we should try to help the world, especially in regard to genocide.” Zander took his cue from JWW’s rallying call: “Fight genocide, we cannot stand idly by.” Last year as freshman, Zander and Naomi felt like they wanted to take their fundraising efforts up to the next level and approached JWW about organizing a walk on the SDJA campus. Their first effort had 100 walkers last year and raised $5,000. “We took our experiences last year and decided to make [the walk] bigger, reaching out to the community as a whole,” Zander said.

dignity and help develop skills and opportunities to improve communities in Sudan and Congo, such as providing education to children in the refugee camps. As women and girls are some of the most vulnerable in Sudan and Congo, JWW has created a rape and crisis center for women and provides training in small livestock and animal husbandry as a way to earn a living and rebuild their lives. Zander said he learned that a high percentage of

women and girls in Congo are raped—nearly 48 women every hour. Many of the incidents occur when the women must go into the forest to gather firewood to warm and feed their families. One of JWW’s projects is a solar cooker project—$18 can buy a solar cooker for a family in Congo, which keeps women from having to venture off into the forest and potentially, be victimized. At the April 7 event, they will have solar cookers on display and people will be able to make potholders for the women, a project JWW has taken on in the past. “The first shipment of pot holders they sent, the women didn’t know what they were for and put them on display because they thought they were pretty,” Zander said. “Once they found out what they were for, they were really touched that we care about things like we don’t want them to burn their hands.” Other hands-on projects at the walk will be an opportunity to write a letter to genocide survivors and as April 7 is Holocaust Remembrance Day, participants will

also be able to participate in SDJA’s butterfly project, their mission to create 1.5 million ceramic butterflies to memorialize the number of children killed during the Holocaust. The event will also feature a presentation from Holocaust survivor Dr. Edith Eger, as well as a speech by a La Jolla Country Day School student who is from Darfur and a dance with her African dance troop. Zander is planning this walk in addition to a busy school schedule and being a member of a rowing crew at Mission Bay. “It’s a lot on top of school and sports but it’s my passion,” said Zander. “It’s a tight schedule but while I can, I want to give my time to charity now so when I’m older I can give money when I have it.” While there will be event-day registration, Zander is encouraging people to sign up online. Registration is $18 for adults and teens 12 and older, and participants receive a t-shirt. Children 11 and under walk for free but all must be registered. Register at WalktoEndGenocide.org

Voice-over actress has always been drawn to the dramatics BY KAREN BILLING Sariann Monaco found her voice and made big changes in her life, starting a brand new career as a voice-over actress. The new Del Mar Heights resident has found some success locally in promos, commercial and industrial voiceovers, acting in a San Diego County Credit Union commercial and as the voice of Nature Made vitamins. “My catchphrase is ‘reliable mom meets Lucy,’” said the bubbly Monaco, referencing Lucille Ball. “I’m always doing something silly or over the top. I’m always changing my path. My family is really so supportive, there’s no way I could have done this without their support.” Monaco and her husband and two children were living in South Florida when she got her first itch for change. On a bit of a whim, they bought a home in Charlotte, North Carolina on their first visit there — a big, secluded home in the woods where she could go months without seeing a neighbor but often spotted cows and llamas on her commute. They lived there

Del Mar Heights’ voice-over actress Sariann Monaco in her recording studio. COURTESY PHOTO for six years and Monaco started to get restless again. “I had two close calls with my health and I realized life is so short and I just want to experience everything, live different places, volunteer and do different things,” Monaco said. “I was craving vibrancy.” Monaco’s friend was a life coach in Charlotte and they started working together. When her friend asked her what she would do if she could do anything, Monaco immediately

answered that she would like to be an actress, even though she knew it sounded “so random it’s ridiculous.” In her professional career she had done a variety of jobs; she worked as a medical assistant, did HR for a financial company, wrote a column in a newspaper and ran a pet care business but she had always been drawn to the dramatics. As a youngster she would interview friends for a variety show she hosted

on her tape recorder and loved to read aloud. Her grandmother used to call her “Sarah Heartburn,” in a play on the name of actress Sarah Bernhardt because of her tendency to overact. Monaco resolved to do something new and began researching acting jobs. She got an audition in Chicago as a host for a website. When she was offered the job, in another sudden upheaval, the family moved to Chicago. She attended The Second City to sharpen her improv and comedy skills and after getting roles in two small films, she began to feel validated. “I thought ‘This is what I’m supposed to be doing,’” Monaco said. After 11 months in

Chicago, she wasn’t sure she could handle another winter so they decided to move to California. In the last six and a half months, she has found the weather “glorious,” loves being near the ocean and feels settled in now that she has her library card and found a yoga class. Monaco said she is enjoying the success she’s found in the industry, “rocking and rolling” in her first six months here. She has built a recording studio in her Del Mar Heights home (in a “cubby hole” under the stairs) and travels to Los Angeles twice a week for jobs, auditions and private voice lessons. She also works as a standardized (simulated) patient for the UC San Diego

School of Medicine two days a week. She likes the voice-over work but also enjoys being on camera and on stage — she performs in Finest City Improv in San Diego and with her own improv group Yuk Ta Panda, which is performing at Twiggs Bakery & Coffeehouse in University Heights on March 23. “I like all of it. I really like to entertain and I feel like it’s my calling,” Monaco said. “Life is short and there’s no do-overs. If there’s something out there that’s calling to you and you feel like you want to do it, go for it. What’s the worst that can happen?” Learn more about Sariann at sariannsays.com

Art/Architecture Show to feature work of Herb Turner An Art/Architecture Show featuring the work of former longtime Del Mar resident Herb Turner (1926-2010) will be held at the Oceanside Museum of Art from March 10-May 19. A preview reception will be held on Saturday, March 9, from 5-7 p.m. According to the Oceanisde Museum of Art, “Working directly from observations of daily life, Turner’s carefully constructed scenes are imbued with social commentary, poignant messages and personal reflections. Informed by the sensibilities of the Regionalist art movement of the early 20th century, his paintings mostly executed in egg tempera, are insightful narratives of San Diego and American life. “Recognized as an award-winning architect based in Del Mar, Turner completed more than 50 stunning residential and commercial structures. Turner was a true visionary who found ways to integrate architecture within environmental settings long before the ‘green’ movement was established. OMA is pleased to recognize Turner’s artistic contributions in this significant exhibition showcasing more than 50 paintings and select photographs of his architectural accomplishments.” Herb Turner in his studio.

Family bike safety event to be held in Solana Beach March 16 BY CLAIRE HARLIN On March 16 from 10 a.m. to noon, Bike Walk Solana will be holding an event at Skyline Elementary School to help kids get their helmets fitted and bikes adjusted for better safety. The city’s bike advocacy group is calling the endeavor a “bike rodeo,” because although safety and education is the focus, there will also be bike riding courses, interactive activities and prizes for families that arrive vehicle-free. The free event is sponsored by the Del Sol Lions, and Revolution Bikes will be there making necessary bike adjustments, giving riding lessons and making sure kids’ bikes are safe to ride. For more information on the event or Bike Walk Solana, which works with the city to make Solana Beach a better place for cyclists, visit www.bikewalksolana.org.

LIBRARY continued from page 5 library,” Bacon said. It’s Bacon’s hope that the library could have that “nice dress” to wear to the party by July but realizes that funding is a tough issue. Not only does the exterior need to be re-done but also whatever is causing the problem needs to be fixed so it doesn’t happen in the future. District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Lightner’s office is aware of the issue and has been very supportive, Bacon said. Early estimates are that the work could be around $60,000. Bacon said the first step is to get people to notice the problem, secondly to get people to be aware of the Friends of the Carmel Valley Library and want to be involved. “I just really love the library and it’s such an important resource for our community,” Bacon said. “I think our library really is a meeting and gathering place, it brings a lot of people together to learn and experience art and culture. The easier you make access to literacy, the better it is for the community.” The Carmel Valley branch is a particularly busy library — it consistently has the highest circulation with the most items checked out in the city of San Diego. Many teenagers use the library and put in volunteer hours there, which Bacon said is a huge accomplish-

ment as traditionally teenagers are a hard age group to get to the library. The library’s baby and toddler story times are extremely popular with 80 to 100 children attending each week. Additionally, the Friends group runs a music program featuring community concerts that are often standing room only. Bacon has been involved with the Friends for three years and has served the last two years as its president. They are an all-volunteer nonprofit group with the purpose to raise awareness, support and funds. The way they raise the most funds is through memberships, which range from $10 to $100. People can become an individual life member with a $250 donation through September 2013 or they can become a patron with a $1,000 donation. Special gifts are, of course, also accepted. The Friends also raise money through book sales. “What’s remarkable about this community is that they are very generous about donating books to the library,” Bacon said. Donated books either go into the collection or become a part of the sales. Sales are ongoing during library hours in the small books room and they have special bargain book sales, such as the upcoming one on March 27 from 12:307:30 p.m. Once a year they also hold an antique and extraordinary book sale. Last year the Friends

were able to donate $12,000 to the library, which was matched by the city. All of the funds go back to the library for materials and equipment. One of the library’s most exciting purchases last year was its new book drop—because of its high circulation the library’s book drop was constantly overflowing, which sometimes damaged the content. “People here are reading that’s for sure,” Bacon said. Some Friends of the Library groups in the city are able to raise enough money for libraries to be open on Sundays, which Bacon said is “a wonderful dream” for Carmel Valley. She said she’d love to have more people join the Friends as members, get involved and hopefully help meet their goal to keep the Carmel Valley Library looking like the valued community asset it is. The group meets the first Wednesday of every month at 5:30 p.m. at the library (3919 Townsgate Dr., San Diego, 92130-2584).

Sage Canyon students Laura, Madison and Jake helped Amanda Mascia from “The Good Food Factory” with a cooking demonstration on Healthy Choices Day.

Sage Canyon Healthy Choices Day BY KAREN BILLING Sage Canyon School hosted its annual Healthy Choices Day on Friday, March 1. The day stresses to students the importance of exercise, making healthy food choices, practicing good dental health and being sun smart. Activities included a cooking demonstration from Jimbo’s and “The Good Food Factory,” a recipe contest where children submitted their favorite healthy recipe, a healthy Dad’s Club lunch, double stamps for children running in the lunchtime running club Roadrunners, recess exercise classes from MMA Academy and Scripps Performing Arts, and a dental visit for kindergartners from A+ Affiliated Dental Specialists. During two sessions, Amanda Mascia from the Channel 4 show “The Good Food Factory” led a fun cooking demonstration on making an easy chocolate pudding dip with Greek yogurt. Students got to sample the dip with fresh strawberries. Jimbo’s also sent students home with goodie bags filled with apples, samples and healthy tips. adopted CCS so far. Those that have not are Texas, Alaska, Minnesota, Nebraska and Virginia. Changes in English language arts include students reading more content-rich, non-fiction and informational texts and learning to respond to those texts in grounded evidence. By their senior year in high school, the aim is for students to be reading 70 percent non-fiction texts in school. Math will focus deeply on two to four critical areas per grade level with a higher level of rigor, increasing students’ fluency and the abili-

ty to apply knowledge to real world situations, according to a district report. Peterson also stressed the importance of professional development in getting DMUSD teachers prepared for the “tremendous shift” in the way they will teach, particularly in math. Eighty district teachers are already a part of the Cognitively Guided Instruction professional learning program, which is very much aligned with Common Core.

thousands of women and men over the years.” “It has been my pleasure to know and volunteer with Rosanne for over 30 years,” said Katz, also a Del Mar resident. “Rosanne is an exemplary leader in every sense of the word. I love her passion for ensuring access to reproductive health care for all.” Today, the 73-year-old Holliday finds time for additional activities, along with PPPSW. She enjoys fly fishing, horseback riding and exercise classes, and she spends time each week with her family members, who also live in Del Mar. Son William is now 45 and daughter Katherine is 39, and Holliday has three grandchildren ages 4, 7 and 8. Holliday is also involved with many local groups — currently, she is on the Board of Trustees at Scripps College, and is an active member of the Del Mar Garden Club, of which she is one of the founding members. Furthermore, she is a founding member of the San Diego Women’s Foundation, and past president of the Board of Directors for the Del Mar Foundation, San Diego Psychoanalytic Institute and the Del Mar Civic Association, and has held numerous other roles and memberships in various organizations. But Holliday still devotes a major interest to PPPSW, and as a reward for all of her efforts, she has been named one of the seven honorary chairs of this year’s celebration. These honorary chairs have held “exceptional important leadership positions, been very generous financially, and have done all of this over a period of time,” according to Limberg. “These are people who have had a strong hand in making us successful at this milestone moment in our history,” he said in an e-mail. “Rosanne is the protype example of that.” Limberg also added: “I’ve been working at Planned Parenthood since 1979 and, I can tell you, Rosanne has been the most amazing volunteer since 1980. I have seen her engaged in countless activities. I can’t think of anyone who’s done more for the organization.” “Our work continues,” Holliday said in the previous PP interview. “We still have to stand our ground, to march, and to be outspoken about the need for every child born to be a planned and wanted child. This is a core value of mine and of Planned Parenthood. This shared value has made for a long and meaningful relationship.” For more information or tickets to the 50th anniversary dinner, visit www. plannedparenthood.org/pacific-southwest/

CV Bobcats 2012-2013 8th Grade Champions In another great basketball season hosted by the Boys and Girls Club of San Dieguito, the Carmel Valley Bobcats won the 2012-2013 8th Grade Big 8 Championship. The Bobcats were led to a championship by Jacob Schneider #88 and Jake Gilliam #89 with much help from Zachary Green, Gavin Crout Blackwell, Jordan Karam, and Michael Gadinis. After the game, the two captains Zachary Green and Jacob Schneider were interviewed and they said, “This is probably the most talented team we have ever been on and everyone contributed to get us here.” Jacob Schneider and Jake Gilliam were then asked to sign autographs for a little kid. Jacob said, “It really touched me that a kid wanted my autograph, I felt blessed.” Batisse Kashanchi, Nick Clapp and Hayden Helfrich drove the Carmel Valley offense all season with their ball handling, precise passing and 3 pointers. Bhargav Ram Bindiganavile was arguably the best 3-point shooter on the team, while Tyler Lytle and Jake Edwards were always an offensive threat and extremely aggressive on defense. Coach Tim Wade said “ I want to thank the Boys and Girls Club, especially Max McArthur, for going above and beyond for this program. This is such a cohesive, talented 8th grade team, I’m looking forward to seeing these guys play in high school and beyond.”

Education Matters/Opinion

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

New taxes and local bond won’t ease San Dieguito’s financial uncertainty BY MARSHA SUTTON Even after the passage of California’s Proposition 30, which raises taxes Marsha Sutton primarily for education, the San Dieguito Union High School District still faces a financial crisis. And the passage last November of the district’s own Proposition AA bond measure, although a great relief to district officials, does not solve San Dieguito’s general fund budget woes, because those dollars are restricted for use only on facilities and capital improvements. In a letter posted on the district’s website, SDUHSD superintendent Ken Noah wrote, “Because new revenue generated from Prop. 30 taxes was built into the state’s budget in June, Prop. 30 does not provide any additional funding to school districts in this current year.” Noah also wrote that it is important “to remember that Prop. AA funds cannot be used for general operating costs like school, department, or classroom expenses,” although the measure does allow the district “to implement our long-range facilities master plan which

we have been working on since 2008.” On the positive side, Noah said Gov. Jerry Brown’s 2013-2014 budget “has given us some reassurance that California education funding has started on the path to recovery. For the first time in five years, we do not have the threat of drastic cuts looming over the horizon.” But Brown is also proposing a new funding system for schools, called the Local Control Funding Formula, that may hurt Basic Aid districts like San Dieguito. Noah called it “a revolutionary overhaul of how schools are funded.” Although the details are still uncertain and have not been solidified, introduced or passed by the legislature, Noah’s concerns center around the intent to eliminate almost all funding for what’s called categorical programs. The purpose is to give districts more local control over how to spend their money, which in theory is of benefit but perhaps less so for Basic Aid districts. The key concept of Brown’s plan, wrote Noah, “is that each district will receive a base grant per student, and then a supplemental grant based on the number of English learners and lower-socioeconomic students in the district.” Early interpretations in-

Searching for civility BY GORDON CLANTON I had mixed feelings about the Second Annual Conference on Restoring Civility to Civic Dialogue at the University of San Diego. I had attended the first conference a year ago and had come to feel that such gatherings, however well intended, constitute what once was called “preaching to the choir.” The people who most need help with their civility in public discourse are the ones least likely to show up. In fact, I first thought to respond to the invitation with an e-mail saying that I would attend if Tony Krvaric signed up. Krvaric is the ethically-challenged head of the Republican Party in San Diego County. In 2011 he opened Twitter accounts with handles very similar to those of Democratic city council candidates and of the county Democratic Party chair, essentially impersonating these people electronically. “I am going to continue to throw grenades,” Krvaric said. “Every once in a while one blows up in your hand.” Even though Chairman Krvaric did not sign up for the civility conference, I decided to attend – and I’m glad I did. Herewith, some highlights. Organizer and moderator Professor Carl Luna of Mesa College opened the proceedings by introducing an unexpected guest, new San Diego Mayor Bob Filner, who was not listed in the program. Filner opened like this: “What!? You didn’t expect Bob Filner at a conference on civility?” After the laughter died out, the mayor, a former history professor at SDSU, made some thoughtful, substantive remarks, suggesting that any useful definition of civility must acknowledge that the many differing interests that divide an increasingly diverse society will produce an endless series of

dicate that districts whose property taxes exceed the amount they would receive from the state under the new formula – Basic Aid districts like San Dieguito, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe and Solana Beach – would not be eligible for any additional state funding except for special education and transportation. “As a current Basic Aid district, this has profound implications for SDUHSD as it would likely mean the end of state funding as we know it,” wrote Noah. He said prudent planning and a healthy balance in reserves have allowed his district to avoid furlough days, layoffs and salary freezes. But the district, he said, is still spending more than it takes in, and reserves are diminishing. “We still have a large gap between our revenue and our expenditures,” Noah wrote. “We will not be beyond this crisis until we are able to close that gap and start restoring our reserves.” A bleak outlook Eric Dill, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of business services, said neither the bond nor Prop. 30 is the answer to the district’s financial shortfall. “We still have a rather bleak outlook,” he said. Although General Obligation bonds are to be used strictly for facilities and capconfrontations over difficult moral and distributional issues. Both Constance Carroll, chancellor of San Diego Community Colleges, and Martha Barnette, from the radio program “A Way With Words,” reminded us of the Roman/Latin roots of our notions of civility, civilization, and civitas: the social body of the citizens, morally bound together by law. State Senator Marty Block added that the word “politics” comes from two Greek words, “poli,” meaning many, and “tics,” small blood-sucking insects. The keynote speaker, Pulitzer-winning Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson, told us that former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is likeable and that she is personally liked by House Republicans. Who knew? Robinson touched a chord with the audience when he said, alluding to his own sons, “You’re only as happy as your unhappiest child.” Gordon Clanton teaches Sociology at San Diego State University.

ital improvements, and cannot be applied to the general fund, San Dieguito’s bond does, however, reduce the district’s general fund outlay by about $1.14 million a year. This is because the bond money will enable the district to shift payments of about $860,000 per year, for the solar projects erected at Canyon Crest Academy and La Costa Canyon High School, from the general fund to the bond funds. And staffing offsets of about $280,000 related to construction and facilities issues can now be covered by bond money. “While Prop. AA funds cannot be used for general operating expenses, there was one component in the bond measure that will allow us to use bond proceeds to retire the capital debt on the solar energy projects at LCC and CCA that is currently backed by the general fund,” Dill said. “This will have a positive net effect on the unrestricted general fund.” So it helps, but not enough, Dill said. “There may be some ancillary benefits to the general fund from the construction projects, such as more energy efficiency, reduced maintenance costs, etc.,” he said in an email. “But those won’t be realized immediately and are hard to quantify at this point, so we have not built any of those potential savings into our projections.”

At a workshop in December, Dill presented school board members with a budget update showing a projected depletion of unrestricted general funds by 2014-2015 if no further action is taken. Possible budget savings may be realized through retirement of personnel, staffing changes and greater efficiency, for a projected total savings of about $1.68 million in 2013-2014. With these and other savings and revenue ideas calculated into the budget, the district projected a slightly rosier outlook for the future, although unrestricted reserves still fall below zero by 2014-2015. Additional solutions discussed at the workshop included setting the number of credits required to graduate at 220 instead of the current 230, which would mean fewer classes and fewer teachers. Other districts with comparable student performance require fewer than 230 credits to graduate. Palo Alto requires 210, Irvine 215 and Capistrano 220. If implemented, Dill said the savings would grow to about $500,000 per year over time. However, board members were not interested in pursuing this option, he said, believing it would result in students taking fewer elective courses. — Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr. com.

Clarifying Del Mar alley situation An article by Sam Borgese in the recent Sandpiper, March 2013 Volume 18, Number 2, titled “Revitalization Revisited II A 4-step Program” might give the impression that the alley along the commercial property at 240 9th Street is a public right of way. In one of his suggestions for Del Mar Revitalization he included my property in a way that suggests that it is a public right of way. Because public perception can create a legal precedence I would like to clarify that the alley at 240 9th Street is private property and that I allow people to park on the weekends after office hours and walk through to the Farmers Market in the spirit of goodwill. As Sam Borgese is a thought leader about revitalization I thought it was important that the facts be clear. Thank you. Linda Rock and Richard Levak, Ph.D.

Impeachable offense? Just prior to his election, Barack Obama clearly stated he wanted to “fundamentally change the United States of America.” If I’m not mistaken, at that time, the United States of America was the greatest nation ever on this earth! So what could he have possibly meant? Obviously, since his election, his actions have been to destroy the greatest nation on the face of the Earth! Why isn’t that an impeachable offense?

going on and have a voice,â&#x20AC;? said McClurg. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These are difficult times.â&#x20AC;? Budget solutions such as class size reduction and furlough days are subject to Del Mar California Teachers Association negotiations, although there has been a verbal commitment from the association that there will be a savings of approximately $1 million. The proposed five furlough days for certificated employees could amount to a savings of $682,500. Furloughs could be negotiated from one day up to five days. McClurg said whatever furloughs can be agreed upon for certificated teachers, it would have to be equal for classified employees. Raising class sizes to 22:1 in kindergarten through third grade will result in a savings of $550,000. Board President Doug Rafner had some concern as small class sizes are a high priority for parents. In neighboring Solana Beach School District, where there is no cap, the district has about 22 to 23 students in most classes. The Encinitas Union School Districtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ratio is 24:1. Other solutions subject to DMCTA negotiations that could be made are reducing upper grade conference days ($28,000 savings); restructuring the Extended Studies Curriculum 120 minutes planning time for all grade levels ($216,000); suspending the oversize class payment ($142,000); and shared assignment out of contact ($19,000). Caitlin Williams, an Ashley Falls teacher who has been with the district for 15 years, proposed that the district look into staff development as a place where they can cut. She said she feels profes-

sional development is â&#x20AC;&#x153;mostly ineffective,â&#x20AC;? that the district should not be paying for substitutes when they are offsite and that teacher collaboration is a much more valuable resource. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do not need an expert to tell us what we already know,â&#x20AC;? Williams said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Put professional development on the backburner for now.â&#x20AC;? McClurg also detailed some $1,084,900 worth of solutions that would not be subject to negotiations. Options included five furlough days for classified and management staff, saving $202,000; reducing special education aides by three positions ($69,000 saved); reducing substitute days for staff development ($25,000); continuing the hiring freeze on the assistant principal position ($110,700); and eliminating eight ELL instructional aide positions, saving $101,400. One item on the list is to eliminate a teacher on the special assignment position, a savings of $72,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a critical position in our district and it concerns me that this is on the list,â&#x20AC;? McClurg said of the position in the professional development program. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is the heart and soul of what we do.â&#x20AC;? The maintenance and operations department is also on the list to take a hit. McClurgâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s proposal includes the elimination of four utility worker positions to save $271,000 and the elimination of one maintenance worker at $74,000 in savings. The plan is to have a

higher focus on cleaning the schools, which would cause a decrease in the need for trucks. The less need for trucks leads to the proposal to sell the trucks for a savings of $33,000. Trustee Doug Perkins said the changes since January for budget solutions seem to reflect more significant cuts to maintenance and operations. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I know weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve already gone to maintenance and operations this year and last year to make reductions. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m a little concerned that weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting down past the bone,â&#x20AC;? Perkins said, wondering if that means there will be any deferred maintenance. McClurg said some things like re-striping lots, sealing and less urgent jobs could be postponed, but they would not miss any major maintenance issues. A $61,000 proposed savings could be made by allocating library media specialist hours based on school sections/classes. This proposed cut found some opposition at Del Mar Hills Academy, where several parents came to the meeting to speak out in support of their librarian Tamara Radford. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our school library is at the center of our school campus and it really is the heart of our school,â&#x20AC;? said parent Joe Dunn, president of the Dadâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Club. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her value extends well beyond her job responsibilities.â&#x20AC;? He said Radford brings the various cultural backgrounds of school families together through diversity celebrations, works with student council, runs the pho-

tography club, manages the drama club, the robotics club and the speech and debate club. He said her fundraising efforts are â&#x20AC;&#x153;legendaryâ&#x20AC;? and she always has new ideas to help the school. She goes above and beyond, Dunn said, staying late on a Friday night to decorate the library for kids so they are surprised when they come in on Monday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I believe that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only so many extra miles a person can put in,â&#x20AC;? Dunn said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;By reducing her hours, it places an important person in a position where we may lose her and lose her extraordinary contributions to this school,â&#x20AC;? Dunn said. With the new Common Coreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stress on shifting student reading to non-fiction, Dunn said feels the district canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t afford to lose a library media specialistâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s services. Parent Juli Oh said that by making the library services cuts per capita penalizes the Hills for its small size. Oh said she understands the severe budget crisis the district is facing and appreciates the thoughtful approach it has taken to cuts, but she urged cuts this year that are temporary and easily reversible. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The hours could come back but the person may not,â&#x20AC;? Oh said. As Andrew Smith, a father and teacher from Del Mar Heights, said of drastic, permanent cuts: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard to rebuild a sandcastle once youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve crushed it.â&#x20AC;? Superintendent McClurg knows that some cuts hurt more than others and said she greatly values the part every person in the district

plays. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s difficult to come forward with any solution that talks about people,â&#x20AC;? McClurg said. Perkins said he did not see the option of freezing â&#x20AC;&#x153;step and column raisesâ&#x20AC;? on the list and said it was an appealing option to him. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know when itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to stop raining and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve dug into reserves for two years and about to for a third, â&#x20AC;&#x153; Perkins said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As much as we can save this year can help ourselves next year if it keeps raining. These are tough years for schools and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hard for everybody and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m certainly open to suggestionsâ&#x20AC;Ś.I believe that in hard times everybody gives and when it gets better, everybody gets.â&#x20AC;?

BAG continued from page 1 state have done. So far, the bans do not apply to restaurants, although thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the subject of an ongoing lawsuit. The SAB recommended last month that the city conduct a study to determine how many businesses are actually using plastic bags. Officials said an unpaid summer intern would complete the study, which would take about two hours a week at no cost to the city. Del Mar Mayor Terry Sinnott said heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d like to encourage businesses to curb their plastic bag usage rather than implement a ban. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think what Solana Beach has done has been a detriment to their area, even though they are reconsidering it,â&#x20AC;? he said.

Solana Highlands welcomes inspirational athlete Inspirational athlete and activist Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah visited Solana Highlands Elementary School Feb. 26 to speak to students. Yeboah was born in Ghana with a deformed right leg. Refusing to beg, he was able to become self-sufficient in a society where the disabled are shunned. To show his country that “disability doesn’t mean inability,” he rode a bike donated by the Challenged Athletes Foundation 379 miles around Ghana using only his left leg. He now has a prosthetic leg thanks to doctors from Loma Linda University Medical Center. (Information above courtesy of http://www.challengedathletes.org/) For more information on Yeboah’s many accomplishments, visit www.emmanuelsdream.org or http://www.challengedathletes.org/ Seitz plans to introduce SFC’s philosophy and coaching techniques to its younger students in grades 1-5, developing them as they come up through sports camps, clinics and clubs. “Santa Fe’s program is unique in that encourages students to play multiple sports throughout the school year, contributing to their physical, social, mental and spiritual growth,” Seitz said. He will also be looking for ways to enhance and expand the athletic facilities that will benefit both the students of SFC and their surrounding community. Santa Fe Christian Schools is a Pre-K through 12th grade college preparatory school located in Solana Beach, CA. For more information please contact us at: (858) 755-8900 or www.sfcs.net

SB’s Anita Edman honored for work on the Coastal Rail Trail BY DIANE Y. WELCH On the morning of Feb. 27, the California Parks and Recreation Society (CPRS), District 12 held its Annual Awards and Installation Banquet. Hosted by the City of Encinitas at the city community center, the event brought together a gathering of award recipients, employees, members, and supporters. Among the award recipients, which included volunteers, students receiving scholarships, employees, and more, was the City of Solana Beach’s Anita Edman, community services coordinator, who was recognized with a parttime professional award for her work on the Coastal Rail Trail, a linear park. Edman, who has worked for the City of Solana Beach for 13 years, was surprised by the award. “I didn’t know they knew me,” Anita Edman she said modestly. Kirk Photo/Diane Y. Welch Wenger, who heads up Solana Beach’s parks and recreation programs submitted the nomination. “It was very sweet of him,” said Edman. Being nominated by a colleague made it more special, she added. “And I do love my job and my team. I just didn’t realize I was part-time!” she joked. A high point for Edman has been the Arts Alive on the Coastal Rail Trail events. In 2010 the annual event was honored by CPRS with an Achievement Award for Outstanding Recreation Program. “The rail trail was almost considered sacred ground by the community and it was initially reluctant to have events staged there. They wanted to keep it as a pedestrian pathway,” Edman said. So the plan to introduce art and free entertainment to the public, on a temporary basis, was a difficult one. But the idea conceived by the Public Arts Advisory Commission (PAAC), with Edman as staff liaison, prevailed and became a reality three years ago. The event showcases local fine artists, musicians, dancers from local schools, vocalists, street performers and more. Wenger describes Edman as, “A creative artist, a hard-working employee and a dedicated community organizer.” Edman oversees the monthly art exhibits that grace the walls of Solana Beach City Hall and has coordinated the city’s annual street banner program for many years. Through her efforts a temporary art program was started in 2008, allowing sculpture to be placed in strategic sites around the city for a six-month period. She also established a youth advisory group, a component of the PAAC, so that young people See EDMAN, Page B6

Canyon Crest Academy Envision Theatre to present Sarah Ruhl’s ‘Eurydice’ with original music by CCA student Emily Laliotis Canyon Crest Academy Envision Theatre will present Sarah Ruhl’s “Eurydice,” directed by Envision Conservatory’s Tarla Hill, from March 28 through April 6. Ruhl’s “Eurydice” is often performed with music, and CCA will perform “Eurydice” with original music composed by CCA student Emily Laliotis. Eurydice is the myth of Orpheus & Eurydice spun into contemporary times. At the wedding of Eurydice and Orpheus, Eurydice goes off by herself to get some water. She falls to her death and ends up in the Underworld, the realm of the dead. In the Underworld, Eurydice meets her mother, and she becomes torn between the yearning to stay with her mother and the wish to go back to Orpheus. As in the myth, Orpheus comes to liberate her from the Underworld. The Lord of the Underworld permits Orpheus to take Eurydice on the condition that he cannot look back at her as they climb up and out of the Underworld. However, as they leave Eurydice cries out for Orpheus, and he looks back. As vowed by the Lord of the Underworld, she fades away, leaving them both alone once more. Pulitzer Prize finalist Ruhl (Dead Man’s Cell Phone) creates this new take on “the classic myth of Orpheus and Eurydice through the eyes of its heroine as she journeys to the underworld and struggles to retain her memories of her lost love.” In contrast to mythology, Ruhl’s Underworld is described as resembling “Alice in Wonderland” more than Hades. Laliotis, a junior at CCA, has composed eight songs which will be performed by the cast. The songs are in the genre of folk music, inviting to theater goers of all ages. The community is invited to attend. The shows take place at the Canyon Crest Black Box Theatre at 5951 Village Center Loop Road, San Diego. Show times are at 7 p.m. on March 29-29 and April 5-6, with a special student show at 4 p.m. on April 4. Tickets are available online at http://www.cca-envision.org/events.html. Ticket prices are $8 for students and $15 for adults. Group and special events ticket packages are available. Call 858-350-0253 ext. 4005 to inquire about special rates. CCA Envision Theater is supported by the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation, a parent-led 501(c)(3) organization providing fantastic opportunities across academics, athletics, and the arts, and creating an environment where students can thrive.

Officials with the Conrad Foundation selected students from Canyon Crest Academy to compete in the final round of the 20122013 Spirit of Innovation Challenge. The team, the “Back Straight Boys,” is one of 20 high school teams from around the world invited to present their innovative product at the 2013 Innovation Summit April 10-13 in Houston, Texas for the chance to win one of four $10,000 prizes. The annual competition, presented by Lockheed Martin Corporation and Battelle, challenges teams of students ages 13-18 from around the world to combine innovation and entrepreneurship along with STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) to create commercially-viable products to benefit humanity. The 2013 teams developed new technologies to solve challenges in the areas of aerospace and aviation, cybertechnology and security, energy and environment, and health and nutrition. Members of the team include: Sean Colford, Ethan Eptein, Brandon Loye and Michael C. Walsh. Their team, the “Back Straight Boys,” developed an ergonomically-designed seatpad that is electronically programed to give the user feedback as whether or not

The Back Straight Boys they are sitting at the computer with good posture habits. The device assists the user to improve their posture habit which in turn lowers their risk factor for developing muscle pain and repetitive stress injuries. The “Back Straight Boys” received national acclaim for their invention in the past. They are now working on the development of their business and marketing plan and streamlining their prototype for this latest competition. In addition the team’s studies have been published in the international journal, “Work: a Journal of Prevention, Assessment, and Rehabilitation.” The team has also applied for a patent, which is still pending. Before the 2013 Innovation Summit, the “Back Straight Boys” have one more hurdle to jump — the People’s Choice video contest. From March 18 – 29, the public is invited to review the profiles of the 20 finalist teams, view their product videos and cast a vote for their favorite video. San Diegoarea residents are encouraged to vote for their hometown team by visiting http://www.conradawards.org/groups. One vote is allowed per person in each challenge category. Public votes provide valuable points in each team’s overall score. “To say these young people are creating unique and impressive products only gives a piece of the education puzzle,” said Jennifer Fotherby, executive director of the Spirit of Innovation Challenge. “The practical knowledge, leadership and teamwork skills they are developing will serve them well as they become the innovative workforce of the 21st century.” For more information, visit www.conradawards.org.

Canyon Crest Academy Envision Theatre presents ‘Avenue Q: School Edition’ March 21-30 Award-winning Canyon Crest Academy’s Envision Theatre will present “Avenue Q —School Edition” March 21-23 at 7 p.m.; March 28 at 4 p.m.; and March 29-30 at 7 p.m. at the Proscenium Theatre. The production will be guest directed by Dana Carr, with musical direction by Stephanie Saban and puppet direction by Lynne Jennings, San Diego Guild of Puppetry. Winner of the Tony “Triple Crown” for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, Avenue Q is part flesh, part felt and packed with heart. Avenue Q School Edition is a laugh-out-loud musical that tells the timeless story of a recent college grad named Princeton who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. He soon discovers that although the residents seem nice, it’s clear that this is not your ordinary neighborhood. Together, Princeton and his new-found friends struggle to find jobs, dates, and their ever-elusive purpose in life. Because the original Avenue Q has some content elements that have previously made it a difficult choice for some high school productions, MTI has worked with the Avenue Q authors to create an adaptation that maintains the dramatic intention and integrity of the piece, while editing it to make it more appropriate for high school

audiences and performers. Suggested for mature audiences. Tickets can be purchased online at http://www.cca-envision.org/events.html or at the door. Canyon Crest Proscenium Theater is located at 5951 Village Center Loop Road, San Diego, 92130.

Carmel Valley Farmers Market returns to Canyon Crest Academy

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Farmers Market has returned. Back on Thursdays, from 2:30 p.m. to sunset, the Canyon Crest Academy parking lot is transformed into a market filled with everything from leafy greens to generously frosted organic salted caramel cupcakes. The market closed late last year due to a “lack of public support,” but is hoping to be re-energized under new manager Raquel Pena, who also manages the Rancho Santa Fe Farmers Market. At its re-opening on Feb. 28, there were several early birds browsing the wares before the vendors had really even finished setting up. The earlier start time is hopefully one of the changes to the market that will help it be more successful. “I’m happy that it’s open earlier because it makes it easier when I’m picking up my kids,” said Michele Schumaker. Schumaker has to pick up kids at multiple schools so she is able to fit in her shopping at CCA before picking up her Raven student and getting her shuttle to its next stop. Last week, Sunny Gal Farms had flavorful Cara Cara and blood oranges and sweet Fuji apples for the sampling, there were fresh heads of cauliflower from Suncoast Farms, bread and pastries from Rancho Santa Fe’s Loic Patisserie, Asana Bowls serving up acai bowls and beautiful blooms in buckets from Maria’s Flowers. For those with a sweet tooth,

it was hard to pass up Boucheé’s tent, where gourmet organic cupcakes, cakes, Parisian macarons and handmade caramel corn were on display. Hard to believe that chocolate cake under the glass was surprisingly sugar-free, dairy-free and gluten free. Parked at the end of a long line of tents was the In-Sliders food truck, which serves up grass-fed slider burgers with sides of truffle fries or sweet potato fries. Pasta by Design had a beautiful set-up of handmade raviolis. The raviolis are easy to take home and cook up for dinner, in flavors such as porcini and ricotta, bacon and mozzarella and more. There was plenty to nibble on site as well—Baba’s Foods had hummus and pita chips and Mariskos offered ceviche tubs, chile relleno and fish tacos. Bucket’s artisan fruit pops seemed to be a popular item, easy to sample and walk at the same time. The market also has non-food items: French Basketeer had great French market baskets, La Petite Bebe featured cute handmade kids clothing, and Seven Hopes United offered up gifts and table décor, all fair trade. More vendors are expected to arrive in the coming weeks, goat cheese and fish are expected to be available at the March 7 market. For more information, follow the market on facebook under Carmel Valley Farmers Market. Address: 5951 Village Center Loop Road, Carmel Valley, 92130.

■ This week’s recipe: Prepkitchen’s Meyer Lemon Cheesecake

The dining room at Prepkitchen’s Del Mar location has shelves filled with books, wine, candles and other knickknacks.

BY KELLEY CARLSON repkitchen has evolved through the last few years from a tiny establishment in La Jolla into a fullservice restaurant with three locations in San Diego County. Its objective: To offer the same quality fare as its sister establishment, Whisknladle, but at more “neighborhoodfriendly” prices and a casual atmosphere. While the goal is the same at all sites, guests will find differences when visiting Prepkitchen’s two northernmost restaurants in Del Mar and La Jolla. After an electrical fire shuttered it in October 2011, the Del Mar location reopened in September 2012 with a new look that is modern and playful, similar to the Little Italy site. Inside, there are shelves filled with books, wine, candles and other assorted knickknacks, and booths covered with faux crocodile skin. Outside is a patio strung with lights, candle lights dangling over a community table and a high-table section dedicated to tapas service. Background music ranges from current hits to classics, from Oingo Boingo and Creedence Clearwater Revival to even reggae at brunch time. The original site in La Jolla is smaller than its counterparts, initially set up for customers on the go — in fact, the kitchen is part of the dining room. It’s “quaint and fun,” as described by manager Jeffery Arnesen, with a covered patio and a courtyard. By day, both Del Mar and La Jolla locations — which are dog-friendly — are relaxed and on the quiet side. The casual vibe continues into the evening. “After a hard day, you can grab a glass of wine and a good hearty meal that’s made from scratch,” Arnesen said. “Let the server take you on a journey through the food —

Guests dine at Prepkitchen’s covered patio in Del Mar. they know what’s really great. It takes the pressure off.” The menus are similar at each location, with frequent changes depending on what is available from suppliers. “We like to keep it interesting, and make it exciting every time someone comes back,” Arnesen said. And while La Jolla serves breakfast, Del Mar does not. However, both offer brunch and dinner and the focus is on farm-to-table. There are tapas, such as Patatas Bravas, featuring cubed potatoes dressed in a mildly spicy chipotle sauce; the Brussels Sprouts with Bacon; and the creamy Pea & Green Garlic Risotto with sweet, crisp peas and Parmesan sprinkled on top. Different soups are presented daily and among the creations is the Mushroom Puree with a gougere (a pastry mixed with Parmesan and gruyere cheeses) floating in the middle. There are a handful of salads, including Pumpkin & Kale with warm, fried ciabatta, large shavings of Parmesan, small chunks of

pumpkin, pine nuts and kale, all tossed in a sherry vinaigrette. For current main dishes, there’s Mary’s Half Chicken in lime chicken jus with charred broccoli and a sweet potato mash that has a hint of cinnamon; the popular Tagliatelle Bolognese, composed of long, thick, house-made noodles mixed with beef, porcini mushrooms, tomato, rosemary and a dusting of Parmigiano-reggiano. Another favorite is the cranberry-topped Grilled Pork Chop, which lies on a bed of grits and mustard greens, all in bourbon pork jus. And of course, there’s dessert, with temptations such as the Chocolate & Salted Caramel Tart with a dollop of Chantilly cream and cocoa nibs. Patrons who bring their own wine will have the corkage fee waived if they also buy a bottle in-house. “We want to be the neighborhood restaurant that everybody goes to for good food and great hospitality,” Arnesen said.

Locals are pouring into new Solana Beach brewery BY CLAIRE HARLIN The new Culture Brewing Co. in Solana Beach is only a couple weeks into its soft opening and doesn’t even have a working phone or sign up yet, but it’s already proven to be a hoppin’ place. Tucked between two retail shops near the northwest corner of Cedros Avenue and Lomas Santa Fe Drive, the droves of people socializing inside indicate it has made itself right at home since it opened its doors for the first time on Feb. 20. And it’s no wonder that locals have already made themselves at home there. Culture Brewing is not only the passion project of three local beer enthusiasts, but it’s the product of some 20 investors who live in the neighborhood as well — mainly local dads who know co-founders John Niedernhofer and Dennis Williams, both of Solana Beach, through their mutual involvement in the YMCA daddy-daughter club, Indian Princesses. The brewery’s first day in business was dedicated exclusively to bringing together those local investors, and it’s been steadily growing in popularity since. Co-founder Steve Ragan said there will be a more formal opening once management gets the goahead from the city that it can make available five parking spots that are currently being configured. A local resident of 20 years, 33-year old brewmaster Ragan is more than stoked about adding to Solana Beach’s “beer culture” — hence, the name of the brewery — and he said it’s that culture that has primarily resonated with him when it comes to his craft. “It’s about this overall love of beers, between people who are brewers and also the beer geeks and beer nerds,” he said. “I’ve been to so many breweries and met so many brewers, and they are all so helpful and nice.” Ragan has recently received a certification in brewery science from the University of California, Davis, but he really began honing his skills at home about six years after his former co-worker’s brother let him sit in on a home brewing session. He was hooked after that. “I was gone all day long and my wife was like, ‘Where are you?’” said Ragan. “The whole day passed and we didn’t even finish.” Sure enough, Ragan’s wife bought him his first at-home brewing starter kit that year for Christmas, and he never looked back af-

ter that. In fact, Ragan left his career as an architect at a Rancho Santa Fe-based firm several years ago to follow his passion. “Architecture tanked in a bad economy, and I was working twice as hard to make less money, saying ‘yes’ to everything,” he said. Ragan’s weekday job wasn’t working out, and he realized that much of the positive feedback in his life was coming from his friends on the weekends, when he’d have them over to try his brews. “Everyone was saying ‘You should start a brewery,’” he said. “It started resonating in my head and I was thinking, ‘Maybe I should do it.” Ragan had already started looking into equipment and developing a plan when he met — and became best brew buddies with — Williams, who works in the asset management industry. The two used to enjoy each other’s home brews together and talk about how great it would be to have a place to drink and share their beers other than at each others’ homes. “Seeing how other breweries were growing was inspirational, and we talked about it a lot,” Ragan said. “It started out as a light conversation, just ideas, and having worked in architecture, I knew about zoning and planning.” Williams eventually brought Niedernhofer into the mix and soon enough those brainstorm sessions over beer evolved into a concerted effort to find a location on Cedros to start brewing — an endeavor that took about six months. And Williams and Niedernhofer were set on Solana Beach as a location. “They’re from here; it’s in their backyard,” said Ragan. “We were only looking at Cedros.” The brewery embodies a clean, industrial style to complement the steel kegs and brew equipment that are found throughout. A garage door on the front lifts to let in the sun and welcome passers-by, and the heated outdoor “backyard” only adds to the causal, at-home feel. “We just wanted it to be approachable,” said Ragan. “We set out to make a utilitarian, functioning brewery, and it seems like everything else fell into place perfectly after that.” For more information, visit the brewery at 111 South Cedros Ave. Until the website (www.culturebrewingco.com) launches, you can follow the brewery on Facebook at www.facebook.com/CultureBrewingCo.

Got Palms? St. Peter’s Del Mar calls for ‘frondly’ donations On Palm Sunday, St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Del Mar uses long palm leaves and fronds to hand out to parishioners and visitors—as well as to adorn the beams inside the church, hang on the patio posts and line the front entrance doorways. They all commemorate the exuberant greeting Jesus received when he rode into Jerusalem on a donkey. The church, however, is in need of the palms: to be exact, the stiff, six-foot leaves that come from king palm trees. If you have such leaves, St. Peter’s would be grateful for any donations. St. Peter’s is hoping to have its palms in hand by March 20; if you can make a donation, please contact the church at 858-755-1616. This year, Palm Sunday will fall on March 24, when services will be held at 7:45 a.m., 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. St. Peter’s is located at 334 14th St. in Del Mar Village, one block east of Highway 101.

The Indian Fine Arts of San Diego is celebrating its 6th annual Music and Dance Festival from March 19 to March 24, at the Jewish Community Center in La Jolla. This organization is dedicated to the propagation of classical Indian music and dance in Southern California. This year, the festival has a fantastic line-up of world renowned vocal and instrumental artists of both the Hindustani and the Carnatic traditions of Indian music from India and around the world. Among the many highlights of the program is a jugalbandi: a concert that will showcase the virtuosity of two female artists, and a melodious vocal concert by a skilled master. The festival will also present some of Indiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most talented and most engaging percussionists who will be playing on such diverse instruments as the kanjira, the tabla, the ghatam, and the mridangam. Audiences are also certain to be enthralled by the captivating music of such wind instruments as the shennai, the flute, and string instruments like violin. Throughout the festival you will have the opportunity to taste a wide range of Indian vegetarian cuisine from the South to the North and everywhere in between. The festival is certainly a must attend event for all, as it promises to delight the eyes, the ears, and the stomach. Please visit the Indian Fine Arts web site at http://www.indianfinearts.org for additional information and to purchase tickets.

PeaceConferencing Games premieres on Del Mar TV Peaceconferencing Games is a digital and faceto-face game-based simulation on world conflict and peace building that offers students a new classroom experience appropriate for the global challenges that await them in the 21st century. It was developed at The Bishop’s School by teacher Kristen Druker and her students and is currently a part of the curriculum of her ninth grade modern world history classes. The documentary “PeaceConferencing Games” provides a description of this “Game Changing” learning process that the students go through to better understand their world and the history behind their selected conflict. PeaceConferencing Games recharges the classroom through technology enhanced role play, negotiation skills, and collaborative team building. It places students in the driver’s seat by creating a simulation focused on world conflict and peacebuilding. You will follow the play as a high school negotiation team focuses on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with behindthe-scenes footage that brings the PeaceConferencing Game to life.

The PeaceConferencing Game is completely student driven, supported by an Open Simulation Platform, a FaceBook like private educational network, designed for self-organizing learning in a real time environment. Text books are not needed, the Internet is where they research their subjects with their results posted on the Open Simulation Platform for all the members of the team to see and use. Homework is done as a team using the Open Simulation Platform. This is digital group learning at its best. The students are really teaching each other.

Del Mar Chocolate Bar opens at the Del Mar Plaza

The new Del Mar Chocolate Bar recently opened its doors at Del Mar Plaza. Similar to the Carlsbad Chocolate Bar, the confectionary offers a large selection of specialty chocolates, plus bakery goods, a full espresso and coffee bar, and an assortment of retail wines, champagnes, and ports. The Del Mar Chocolate Bar which recently operated out of a smaller store front on Camino Del Mar, moved into the larger retail space at the Plaza to accommodate expanding product lines and an espresso bar. Along with coffee, teas, chocolates, and wine, customers can expect to find novelty gifts, including seasonal gift baskets, and food items like taffy, blow pops, and brittles. Situated on the second level of Del Mar Plaza, the new location is adjacent to an outdoor patio, so shoppers can enjoy sunshine and stunning views of the Pacific Ocean while they eat and drink. Visitors to the petfriendly Plaza will be delighted to know that the store sells a variety of pet treats. Owner Laura Reyes says she is excited about expanding within Del Mar, and be-

lieves her business will provide a unique product to patrons of the Plaza. “Chocolates are like people, they come in different sizes. We sell our chocolates by the piece, not by the pound, so customers can build custom chocolate boxes that feel personal, not pre-packaged.” The chocolates available at Del Mar Chocolate Bar are handmade fresh in the store each morning, or will be imported from celebrated chocolatiers from around the country. For other goods, the company partners with small vendors to source ingredients locally. Del Mar Chocolate Bar is open seven days a week. It is located at Del Mar Plaza, at 1555 Camino Del Mar.

You’ve got a lot of stalk options in celery The Kitchen Shrink BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN To most kids, celery is a snack found in nerds’ lunch bags or a prop used for science experiments to show how colored water transports through vascular bundles. To most adults, celery is a stirring stick for a Bloody Mary. But this Mediterranean native — a sibling to carrots, cumin, parsley and cilantro — is an unsung hero in the gustatory world. As March roars in, let’s celebrate National Celery Month with every cook’s best stalk-in-trade. The Skinny on Celery At just 6 calories a stalk, celery is considered a “negative” or a “freebie

food,” since you probably burn more than those six calories chomping away on the juicy stick (which also gives the old jaw a good work out). A satisfying crunch and loads of nonsoluble fiber celery is a dieter’s bliss. The mighty herb is also a nutritional power-

Aromatic Celery Lemon Risotto Ingredients 1 cup of Arborio rice 6 stalks of celery (from heart) coarsely chopped 1 tablespoon of olive oil or unsalted butter 1/2 cup of dry white wine 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese 4-5 cups of hot water or vegetable broth 1 small red onion, chopped Zest from 1 Meyer lemon and juice from 3 Meyers 1 cup kale leaves, chopped Method: Heat the olive oil or butter in a heavy skillet and sauté the celery and onions until translucent. Add the rice, coating the grains with the oil. Stir in the wine over medium heat until absorbed. Cook for 20

minutes, adding juice and the remaining liquid a cup at a time. Stir in kale during last cup of water. Remove from heat. Stir in the cheese and garnish with zest from the lemon and celery leaves. (Serves 5-6.)

house packed with folic acid, riboflavin and Vitamin C to keep metabolism on its toes, along with Vitamin K to dial-up bone mass. Rife with minerals, including calcium, magnesium, manganese and potassium — the latter key for stabilizing cell and body fluids to keep heart rate and blood pressure on an even keel. The aromatic leaves are loaded with antioxidant flavonoids, especially lutein, Vitamin A and beta-carotene to keep eyesight sharp. Finally, the leaves contain essential oils (like limonene) to put the skids on everything from nervousness to creaky joints, while the seeds have also been used as a homeopathic pain reliever. Dirty Little Celery Secrets Throughout the ages, celery has been lauded as a high-octane aphrodisiac sparking passion and fueling stamina from the courts of ancient Rome to the parlor of French courtesan Madame de Pompadour (and even the bedroom of famed Italian playboy, Casanova). Today scientists have confirmed celery’s sexy attributes as it has been found to contain a pheromone called androsterone, a substance secreted by the male sweat glands to entice females. Bedtime celery snacks, anyone? Pick a Winner Although darker green stalks are more nutrient packed, the light green ones are less stringy. You make the call. Select firm, crisp
