DMUSD working to redesign the school experience BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) has begun the process of “District Design Through 2022,” looking at how they can make education look dramatically different and make the whole school experience more meaningful for students. “It’s no longer enough that students are just prepared to be employable, we need to inspire them to be creators and innovators,” DMUSD Superintendent Holly McClurg said. “It’s our job, it’s our mission it’s our moral imperative to inspire them to go out and be the change-makers so that they actually thrive, that they prosper, that they’re thinkers, that they go out and look for what needs to happen in the world and be a part of the solution and the change.” The second of three workshops was held on April 24 and a third will be held on May 11. As McClurg said, the purpose of the workshops is to challenge the assumptions about the school experience and tap into a variety of people’s minds and ways of thinking. To do the work, the district has gathered a group of stakeholders that represent a variety of perspectives, including educators from elementary, high school and SEE SCHOOLS, A17

SB transforms school lunch BY KAREN BILLING It’s lunchtime at Solana Ranch Elementary School in Carmel Valley and students are hitting the salad bar before picking up a yogurt parfait with strawberries and granola. That’s right: the school has a salad bar and kids are willingly eating their veggies. Solana Beach School District’s school lunch participation has jumped 14 percent since the district transformed its lunch program, implementing 30 fresh new recipes with a renewed focus on healthy, good-for-you food that kids will actually eat and enjoy. The highest increase was seen at Solana

Highlands Elementary School with a 28 percent jump in participation. “We took it from ‘heat and serve’ to a ‘speed-scratch kitchen,’” said Siri Pearlman, district director of child nutrition. By “speed scratch” she means instead of heating up a frozen burrito, district kitchens are rolling and stuffing the burritos by hand on site. Pearlman’s goal with revamping the meal program involved using quality, fresh food to produce nourishing, tasteful and appealing meals for students. The changes continue to follow the U.S. SEE LUNCHES, A17

Solana Beach School District is given AAA bond rating

BY KAREN BILLING The Solana Beach School District recently received an AAA bond rating by Standard & Poor’s Global and Moody’s for its general obligation bond, the highest rating assigned. The AAA mark denotes that the district has an “extremely strong capacity to meet its financial commitments.”

“There are not that many AAA-rated districts and they tend to be very strong, fiscally-solvent districts so we were very pleased,” said Solana Beach School District Superintendent Terry Decker at the April 20 board meeting. While there are several AA and AA+ rated districts nearby, Rancho Santa Fe School District is the only other

AAA rated school district in the area, Decker said. “What that means to the community is that we’re saving them tax money because we’re going to be having better interest rates,” said board member Holly Lewry. In their bond credit rating, Decker said the S&P analysts said they were very impressed and talked about the

Santa Fe Irrigation District faces brighter financial outlook BY JOE TASH In a proposed budget for the fiscal year that begins July 1, the Santa Fe Irrigation District expects an increase in water sales revenue of $4 million over the current year, according to report presented at the agency’s board meeting on Thursday, April 20. The district attributes that increase to two factors - an 8 percent rise in customer demand for water, and a potential rate increase by the district of 9 percent, beginning on Jan. 1, 2018. The district also will pass along to customers an anticipated rate increase by its wholesale supplier, the San Diego County Water Authority. A public hearing on the proposed budget is set for June 15. The district’s

proposed operating budget for next year is $26 million, while its capital expenditure budget on equipment and construction is set at $2.84 million. The district supplies water to residents and businesses in Rancho Santa Fe, Fairbanks Ranch and Solana Beach. The proposed 9 percent rate increase was approved last May as part of a three-year rate plan, and the district’s board of directors will revisit the 2018 increase - the second of three - this November before it takes effect. The board approved the three-year plan last year following a cost of service study, which analyzed the district’s revenue needs. The first of the three planned rate increases was

enacted on June 1, 2016. The second took effect on Jan. 1, 2017, and the third is proposed for Jan. 1, 2018. One big change expected next year, according to the budget report, is the availability of more local water from Lake Hodges, which is less expensive for the district. The district projected that it would have 800 acre-feet of local water available this year, and next year’s projection is quadrupled, to 3,268 acre-feet, due to record rainfall that filled Lake Hodges. The district has legal rights to a portion of the water that accumulates in Lake Hodges. An acre- foot is equal to 326,000 gallons, and an average California SEE WATER, A18

CBRE National Retail Partners West completes sale of BeachWalk BeachWalk sells for $33.25 million CBRE’s John Read recently announced that his National Retail Partners – West (NRP-West) team, along with Reg Kobzi in CBRE’s San Diego office, completed the sale of BeachWalk, a 54,973-square-foot coastal retail center in the city of Solana Beach, according to a press release. Situated along Highway 101, the property is steps to the Pacific Ocean, walking distance to the Cedros Design District and Amtrak Train Station, and less than a mile from the Del Mar Fairgrounds, site of the Del Mar Racetrack. The sale price was $33.25 million. CBRE’s retail investment experts Read, Philip Voorhees, Jimmy Slusher, Kirk Brummer, and Kobzi, represented the seller, a partnership managed by The Muller Company, an Orange County-based real

estate investment company. The buyer, a fund manager based in Chicago, also represented by CBRE’s NRP-West team, acquired BeachWalk as an addition to its portfolio, the press release said. Built in 1993, BeachWalk shopping center sits on 3.06-acre site at 437 S. Highway 101 in Solana Beach. According to Read, the CBRE team’s marketing system distributed more than 540 offering memoranda to investors and brokers, and through the team’s "managed bid" offer process, generated eight offers to purchase the property. “True coastal retail projects like BeachWalk seldom come to market.

RELOCATES to DEL MAR • Specializing in DRY HAIR CUTTING for Men & Women with Curly & Cowlicky Hair Patricia and Marc Brutten at the Del Mar Plaza.

SEBASTIAN MONTES

New owners plan to bring ‘a breath of new life’ to Del Mar Plaza BY SEBASTIAN MONTES As Patricia Brutten peers out from the terrace atop the Del Mar Plaza, the afternoon sun carving its arc down through the panoramic Pacific views, she can’t help but lament the near emptiness engulfing her, a quietude barely bothered by the slow trickle of arrivals to Il Fornaio for a Friday happy hour. The scene is stark in its contrast to the bustling days she recalls after the plaza’s opening in 1989, when the three-level center was the heart of commerce along Camino Del Mar, a short walk for Brutten and her neighbors to meet all of their shopping needs. Now, three years after moving back to Del Mar, she and her developer husband Marc are taking on the task of restoring the plaza to its former grandeur. Brixton Capital, the holding company they head, bought the plaza in February for an undisclosed sum, putting the property under local ownership for the first time in nearly 20 years. And there, on the 15,000-square-foot terrace, the plaza’s vast potential is to Brutten is at its most obvious — but so too is the long road ahead to undo years of neglect suffered under a string of absentee owners, all while fighting against the tide in a retail environment far less hospitable than the plaza’s creators could possibly have imagined. “For a long time, this was the most special place up and down the coast. That was almost 30 years ago. The town has grown and retail has changed — and yet the plaza is still here. It needs a breath of new life,” she says. “This very much is a passion project for us. We want to do it right. We have to take what we have and slowly over the course of time make the changes as we can.” Unfulfilled Promises With the plaza back under local ownership, community leaders are in a lather as they conjure up ideas for using its open space — the upper terrace overlooking Camino Del Mar and a smaller patio in the

back of the plaza — to help give rise to a renaissance at the shopping center. In a related effort, city leaders are working to give community groups access to conference rooms at the L’Auberge Del Mar hotel across the street. The outpouring of excitement is a far cry from the pitched battles that erupted in the mid-1980s over construction of the plaza and hotel. When the city approved plans for a 110,000 square-foot plaza, Del Mar voters responded by enacting Measure B in 1986, which requires large developments to go to a special election. The plaza’s developers — a team led by locals David Winkler and Ivan Gayler —trimmed their plans to 76,000 square feet, and the ensuing vote passed by a mere 41 votes out of more than 2,000 cast. The hotel proposal went to the ballot the following year, and met defeat by an even narrower margin: 15 votes. A scaled-down hotel won approval six months later. Buried within the planning documents for both projects, known as their “specific plan,” lay a terse provision requiring “extraordinary public benefits,” including space for community use — a concession for all the density and traffic. “The whole concept was to create a marketplace but also to create a focal point in the community for people to meet each other, go to restaurants and have public events,” Winkler said. “We had everything from weddings and high school graduations to art shows, book readings and concerts.” But those uses dwindled after Winkler and his partners sold the plaza in 1998. Now, nearly 20 years later, city leaders are making moves to codify that public access. They’ve started with the L’Auberge. Its specific plan requires the hotel to make available meeting rooms at least 12 times a year. But it does not explain which rooms are to be used, what kinds of community groups qualify, how often and for how long.

Lynch Foundation event to help prevent child sex trafficking BY STACEY PHILLIPS There are more than 8,000 victims of sex trafficking every year in the San Diego region, according to a recent joint study by the University of San Diego and Point Loma Nazarene University. The William D. Lynch Foundation for Children, founded by longtime Rancho Santa Fe resident Bill Lynch, is helping raise awareness and funds to prevent child sex trafficking in San Diego by holding a fundraiser on Thursday, May 11. Chaired by Mayor Kevin Faulconer and Chief Deputy District Attorney Summer Stephan, the event will be held at The Abbey in downtown San Diego from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. “Child sex trafficking is not an evil phenomenon in faraway third-world countries but a rapidly growing epidemic here in the United States and especially here in San Diego,” said Lynch, an active San Diego businessman and philanthropist for the last 40 years who currently owns the William D. Lynch Company. “We are committed to making a serious impact on this social crisis plaguing our region. Every child saved is a universe preserved and opportunity awakened.” Lynch established the foundation in 1989. He had met a child who was abused by the father. Once the child was in a safe place, Lynch said it was

important to him to help other children. Since then, he has worked to support a variety of youth causes throughout the years. “Our mission is to organize, motivate and support the care and education of children,” said Lynch, chairman of the board of the foundation. He has received numerous recognitions including “Man of the Year” from the San Diego Nice Guys and the “Champion for Children Award” from the San Diego County Office of Education. “Recently, the foundation has expanded our commitment to children by partnering with law enforcement to stop child sex trafficking,” said Lynch. “Our goal, while ambitious, is to raise $200,000 to fight this atrocity.” The foundation uses a three-pronged preventative approach focused on education, legislation reform and locating runaways and missing children. “In San Diego County specifically, the average age of entry into child commercial sexual exploitation is 16,” said Brooke Mosteller, the policy director at the William D. Lynch Foundation for Children. “The underground economy ranks second only to illegal drug trafficking at over $800 million annually in San Diego County.” Mosteller said that although 100

Lynelle and Bill Lynch percent of 20 San Diego County high schools reported that recruitment occurs in their schools, the California sex trafficking prevention curriculum requirements are minimal. The foundation is looking to change that through its educational programs Lynch is supporting such as Point Loma Nazarene University’s kNOw MORE curriculum, which uses drama to teach students about trafficking situations and will be performed at the Lynch Foundation fundraiser. “Education is key for prevention as most kids do not always even know

they are victims,” she said. In terms of legislation, the Lynch Foundation works closely with the University of San Diego’s School of Law Children’s Advocacy Institute to enact new laws protecting those at risk. “We support legislation that creates higher penalties for buyers and specific protections for exploited youth victims,” said Mosteller. Currently, she said buyers who solicit minors are rarely caught; instead, a citation is issued and they are fined a few hundred dollars. She said Lynch recently asked her to represent the foundation in

Sacramento, Calif., in support of human trafficking bill AB 1495: Child Rape Liability Act. The bill was authored by Brian Maienschein and allows for civil action to be brought against those found guilty. It also enables victims to ask public prosecutors to bring a lawsuit against the buyers. It was passed unanimously in the Judiciary Committee meeting held in April and it will now go to the Appropriations Committee. Mosteller said an assemblyman mentioned he had never seen a bill tackling the issue like this one. Ed Howard from the Children’s Advocacy Institute was in attendance as well as Tiffany Mester, one of the survivors in San Diego. Last year, there were 26 bills related to child sex trafficking that were proposed in the California General Assembly. “Seven of the eight trafficking bills that passed were ‘victim-centered’ and focused on rehabilitation rather than prevention,” said Mosteller. The foundation’s hope is to support the County’s Human Trafficking Advisory Board, chaired by Chief Dep. D.A. Summer Stephan, and to create a business model to prevent child sex trafficking from occurring in the first place. “Many efforts focus on rehabilitation, which is of the SEE LYNCH, A14

Fitness program aims to help cancer patients BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A few years ago, Candace Davis was depressed, and she didn’t exercise or eat well. What finally got the 69-year-old Oceanside woman out of that mental state was a shocker: breast cancer. The diagnosis, about a year-and-a-half ago, prompted her to change her lifestyle. She began working out in fitness classes tailored for cancer patients. Susan Webster, the medical integration program manager, has led such classes for years but recently moved them to the Tri-City Wellness Center in Carlsbad. The classes, open to both men and women of all ages, include proven exercise methods for those going through cancer. “We want people to start really low with no weights or light weights,” said Webster, a certified cancer exercise trainer. “It’s really hard because people might not want to do that. They might want to still be at where they were before they got cancer.” Since starting the program, Webster has helped nearly 1,600 people in rented areas around North San Diego County. In January, she moved her program to the wellness center. Webster, who was diagnosed with breast cancer in 2006, said her experience led her to knowing what exercises were appropriate for patients. Each patient has a tailored routine that they follow, she said. Patients also work with a registered nutritionist at the wellness

Everything that we do at the Wellness Center is peer-reviewed and reputable. I want people to be advocates for themselves and learn how to find reputable information.” Shelby Williams, 72, of Vista, said

Webster’s classes helped her get back on track with exercising after a breast cancer diagnosis in 2010 and an accident in which she broke her ankle in 2012. During treatment, Williams, who previously had an active life, said she did not exercise much because she thought treatment meant she had to rest. “Things were a little delayed, and I was exhausted,” she said. “I wanted to get my

stamina back. This program has just been a blessing to me. ... Now that I’m in the program, I realized I should have done more.” Davis, who has lost 30 pounds since joining the program, said it has helped her gain positivity back into her life. “Susan is just beyond amazing,” she said. “She’s supportive, inspiring and is really smart. The program is great because all the women here have been very uplifting. I know it’s the exercise that’s made the difference.” Working out also kept her from the fatigue associated with radiation, Davis said, adding that she now has more energy than she did nearly two decades ago. Webster said patients like Davis are her favorite because she likes motivating people. She also said exercise is, in fact, crucial for people to avoid the tiredness that can be a result of treatment. Her classes are meant to make patients feel better and be more energetic. Before and after each class, she assesses the patients’ fatigue levels. “Sometimes when they come in, they’re at a zero and don’t want to be here,” said Webster, a former scientist at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Maryland. “By the time, they leave, they’re at a 10, have energy and want to go clean the house. It’s just like night and day.” For more information, visit www.tricitywellness.com/medical/ cancer-fitness/

BY LINDA MCINTOSH A group of boogie boarders recently presented the Solana Beach lifeguards with a clock to show their appreciation for all that the lifeguards do watching over folks at the beach. The group of several dozen women have been boogie boarding together two to three times a week for 16 years, primarily at Fletcher Cove. Last year the group put together a calendar, which raised money for the large outdoor clock that was recently presented to lifeguards and installed at the lifeguard tower. “We did this in thanks for their support, advice, instructions and protection all these years,” said Christa Stahl, one of the boogie boarders. Several members of the bogey boarding group presented the clock to lifeguard lieutenant Jason Shook at Fletcher Cove. The group meets typically on Monday and Friday mornings and welcomes newcomers.

pointed out the strength of the Solana Beach Foundation and the support it provides as part of the positive overall rating. The district’s target date for Measure JJ bond sales is May 3. The $105 million Measure JJ was approved by the voters in November 2016. Cost for the repayment of these bonds will be approximately $272 a year for the average homeowner in the district. The first issuance will be for $50 million and the first phase of district-wide improvements includes the reconstruction of Skyline School, the modernization of Solana Highlands this summer and the completion of the Solana Pacific solar project. In the 2017-18 school year, the district will begin the planning process for the reconstruction of Solana Vista and the modernization of Solana Santa Fe schools. The district has stated its commitment to ensuring transparency in the use and expenditure of bond funds. There will be no use of Capital Appreciation Bonds (CABs) which proved controversial in the Poway Unified district—the long-dated CABs can result in a higher debt burden for bond issuers. The term of the SBSD’s bonds will be limited to no more than 30 years, bond revenue will not be used for teacher or administrator salaries and an Independent Citizen’s Oversight Committee (ICOC) is currently being formed. The Strict Accountability in Local Construction Bonds Act requires that school districts appoint an ICOC after a bond election to monitor the expenditures of bond revenues and inform the public of any waste or improper use of taxpayer money.

local operators, including California Pizza Kitchen, Alfonso’s of La Jolla, Rubio’s Coastal Grill, Banfield Pet Hospital, and other established tenants, make the property an integral part of this coastal community,” Read said in the press release. “There are few alternatives in this immediate area and coastal areas in general for tenants seeking more traditional retail center space with adequate on-site parking, keeping occupancy levels high,” Read noted in the press release. “Based on the property’s configuration, strong historical occupancy, improving tenancy and upward trending rents in this highly affluent trade area where average household income exceeds $142,000, Beachwalk is a trophy asset in a coastal location that will maintain its dominant market position for years to come.” In 2015, the NRP-West team, formerly known as National Retail Investment Group - West (NRIG-West), was CBRE’s #1 retail investment team nationally with a total transaction volume exceeding $940 million in 63 transactions, encompassing 88 properties, totaling more than four million square feet in size. according to the press release. With this closing, CBRE's NRP-West team has closed 212 transactions since the start of 2012 for a total consideration of $3.8 billion. In total, the NRP-West team has listed and sold more than $9.7 billion in retail transactions. More information is available at www.cbre.com/nrpwest

FROM LYNCH, A4 upmost importance, but it is after trauma has inevitably occurred,” said Mosteller. The Lynch Foundation is also involved in locating runaways and missing children through its support of Saved in America (SIA). The nonprofit organization is made up of law enforcement officers and three teams of Navy Seals who have become licensed and insured private investigators. Over the past 26 months, they have assisted law enforcement by locating 34 runaways and missing children at no cost to their families. “Finding the runaways is truly the last act of prevention,” said Lynch.

SeaWeeder tip for May Our soggy winter brought these visitors to damp Solana Beach gardens: Slime mold resembles yellow cottage cheese; it helps nature decompose wood into compost. To prevent it from decomposing your wooden furniture or decks, scrape it off and treat the area with white vinegar. Slugs thrive in shady, damp spots and eat leaves. A drier garden will have few, if any, slugs; if you have them, attract them to a shallow dish filled with apple cider or beer in which they will drown. Fungus comes in thousands of forms, the most familiar being mushrooms. Fungi, with bacteria, break down compost and soil into nutrients that can be used by plants. Many fungi and mushrooms are poisonous, however, so it’s best to remove or rake them into your soil to protect children and pets. Learn more about gardening with the Solana Beach SeaWeeders Garden Club. Meetings are on the second Tuesday of the month (except July and August) at 6:30 p.m. at the Fletcher Cove Community Center. Visit www.seaweedersgardenclub.org

“We found that people are interested in different aspects of helping with this issue,” said Mosteller. “Our foundation is trying to give a concrete way for people to get involved.” This includes writing letters of support, assisting with the educational programs and supporting the cause financially. “There is something that everyone can do to make a difference,” she said. Business, political and philanthropic leaders will come together at the Lynch Foundation event, which is sponsored by Sycuan and Hornblower. There will be a hosted bar, dinner buffet and short program as well as complimentary valet parking. During the event, attendees will have the opportunity to

Education Matters BY MARSHA SUTTON

Reviewing your child’s tests at home Although last year’s court ruling on what’s known as the test-return policy came down in favor of the San Dieguito Union High School District, parents are still able to have their child’s tests sent home for review. So says Michael Grove, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of educational services. “We think it’s good practice,” he said. “We believe it’s important for parents to see the work.” But Michael Robertson, Torrey Pines High School parent and Del Mar resident, claimed it’s not true that teachers must send tests home if requested. “They don’t give out tests. Period. Hard stop. No exceptions,” Robertson said. Frustrated by being rebuffed after repeated requests to have his son’s math tests sent home so he could review them with his son, Robertson sued the district several years ago. He lost his case, mainly because, according to Grove, Robertson was asking for a change in policy to allow all tests and assessments to be public.

Grove said there are three instances when the district will not release tests: tests that are proprietary such as College Board assessments used in Advanced Placement classes, common formative assessments used for data tracking and professional development district-wide, and other assessments used longitudinally that he said would compromise integrity if they were made public. But Robertson countered that he was never asking for those tests – only pop quizzes and other classroom tests, specifically in math. “I asked for my kid’s tests, not College Board or assessment tests,” he said in an email. “I asked many, many times over many months. I asked informally and formally. They delayed many times, several times telling me the policy had changed but it had not. After more than a year, I filed the lawsuit.” Robertson said the district is not putting kids first. “They’re putting teachers first and that’s wrong,” he said. “They can and should order teachers to send tests home to help

www.delmartimes.net keep parents informed.” Robertson said the district offered to settle and give him his son’s tests but not change policy. “I refused because my goal was to get the district to alter policy to help all students and parents,” he said. “How can parents play an active role in their children’s schooling if they can’t see the tests?” Robertson agrees with the district that parents can see tests if they come to the school and sit with the teacher on the teacher’s schedule, but that’s not always possible. He said the district shields teachers so they don’t have to create new tests. In a letter to the district from Paul Boylan, Robertson’s attorney, Boylan wrote, “Mr. Robertson is attempting to champion not only his personal parental rights but also the rights of all parents who wish to participate fully in their children’s education.” The letter accuses the district of “flagrantly abusing [its] duties to work with parents to maximize student educational excellence” and that the wish to retain copies of quizzes and tests “panders to the desires of lazy teachers who want to use the same test over and over again.” In rejecting the settlement offer, Robertson, through his lawyer, states, “The district has sold out the education of its students in order to allow teachers to work less.” Practice, not policy The district said it was just a practice and never policy to prohibit sending tests home. Grove said in his declaration to the

court last year that the district’s informal practice “was that each teacher could decide whether to provide parents with an original or copy of the pupil’s completed exam or, instead, to invite the parent to personally review the completed exam without being provided the original or a copy to take home.” When the issue was raised several years ago, Grove said parents “have always had the right to see the tests. It’s just a matter of whether they come to the school. It’s individual teachers who decide whether to send tests home.” “Can we force them to, if they don’t want to? That’s the crux of the matter,” he said. “In the past, our practice has been that we did not tell teachers that they had to send it home.” In a declaration given to the court last year by Robertson’s son’s TPHS math teacher, Erica Soderlund states, “My practice as a teacher is that I never release copies of either completed or blank math exams to parents, or to students to take home. Students and parents are welcome to review exams and other student records in my classroom at any time.” She stated that this is the general practice of the entire math department. “The reason for my practice is because the same test is used by multiple math teachers over multiple years, and sometimes by multiple school sites,” Soderlund stated. She said releasing the tests would SEE SUTTON, A18

OUR READERS WRITE One Paseo view As I recently drove past the gouged, treeless expanse of the One Paseo construction, on both Del Mar Heights and El Camino Real, I was surprised and saddened that the critics of that project did not have the foresight to require the installation of, say, 12-foot high placards painted with greenery. That would have cost a few thousand dollars and would have made the view more tolerable for all of us - for the next several years. Maybe it could still be done. James Larrimore Del Mar

Stop DM City Council from banning short-term rentals The drafters of Del Mar’s Community Plan never intended for summer vacation rentals of less than 30 days to not be allowed since some of them offered these rentals. These rentals enabled them and many others in Del Mar to be able to afford their homes when mortgage rates soared to 18 percent in the early 1980s. However, at their April 17 public hearing, the

City Council disregarded the testimony of 90-year-old Ivo Feierabend, husband of the late Rosalind Feierabend (Lorwin) who served on the Plan’s Steering Committee, Planning Commission, and City Council. Instead they created new definitions, ignored transient (short-term) housing in the Plan, and selectively excerpted other sections to create their new “interpretation” that the Plan did not allow short-term rentals in residential zones. The City Council ignored the legislative intent of Del Mar’s Community Plan and voted 4-1 to create new law under the guise of “interpretation” to avoid the due process required for adopting new land use ordinances. Are they trying to subvert the Coastal Act which requires Coastal Commission approval for land use changes, especially since the Commission prohibits banning visitor-serving access and supports regulating short-term rentals? Or avoid required CEQA review which would show their ban’s negative economic impact on the City’s sales and property tax revenues, our village’s shops and restaurants, and Del Mar’s property values, especially in the pricey Beach Colony, which are projected to fall 10-25 percent? Ivo survived the Nazis and communists but will he survive the Del Mar City Council taking away his family’s rights for weekly summer rentals? This

ban will have a devastating impact on many Del Mar homeowners, especially retirees with limited incomes. Historically, Del Mar homeowners have used summer rentals to pay their high property tax and mortgage expense. Without that extra income, Del Mar property values will fall, especially in the inflated Beach Colony where these summer rentals predominate. A ban will shut Del Mar’s historic gateway, the test drive of short-term rentals that brought future residents like Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, my family, the Stokes, Charnholms, Sullivans, Sharps, etc. The 30-day rental minimum will accelerate Del Mar turning into a wealthy retirement community since only retirees can afford that much time and expense. Our struggling shops and restaurants will suffer since they will have to depend on day-trippers and lodgers in Del Mar’s six hotels with only 355 rooms. There are far better and more measured solutions than a total ban that will hurt so many in our community. Share your insights with the City Council at their upcoming May 1 meeting. Stop them from banning short-term rentals. Laura DeMarco Del Mar resident since 1987 Del Mar short-term rental visitor in the 1970s and 1980s

www.delmartimes.net FROM PLAZA, A3 procedure. The list of nonprofits that qualify so far includes the Del Mar Foundation, the Del Mar Village Association, Del Mar Community Connections, the Del Mar Historical Society and the Del Mar Garden Club. Worden introduced language this week to bring the issue to the full council as soon as possible. Once access to L’Auberge is resolved, the city will turn its attention to the plaza, he said. “Nine out of 10 people, they see what’s on the street level but have no idea that there’s a terrace upstairs. The sad truth is that all that space up there, most of the time it’s not used,” Worden said. “That wasn’t the original vision; the original vision was that there would be poetry readings and dance recitals and that it would be a kind of town square. So we’re going to try to help make that happen.” The Work Ahead Meanwhile, the Bruttens face an uphill climb to overcome the plaza’s long history of financial struggle. Even in its heyday, the plaza was a losing venture: from the time Winkler and his partners bought the property in 1983 until they sold 15 years later, it took on water. “We did not have one day of positive cash flow during that period,” Winkler said. Their sale in 1998 started a string of absentee ownership, first in Hawaii, then New York, then to the German firm from whom Brixton Capital bought the property earlier this year. But Winkler remains optimistic that the plaza can revitalize. With some creative thinking on new tenants, lowered rents, a strong marketing effort and an aggressive leasing program, he said, the plaza can become as thriving as Cedros Avenue or downtown La Jolla. “I’m more optimistic with Marc and Patty running this project than with any of the previous owners,” he said. “The essential quality of the project is still there. It just needs some love and care.” To that end, Brutten has begun a long list of touch-ups and deferred maintenance: repainting the garage, refinishing wood features, new plants and flowers. She’s recruited a new architect and design

team; their first sketches include new roof lines, updated awnings, kiosks and tweaks to the layout. Retail on the street level — anchored by Banana Republic and Lorna Jane — is solid, Brutten said. But survival on the second floor is a struggle for some of the tenants, many of whom are on month-to-month leases. The biggest obstacle may be the lack of a grocery store. The plaza’s specific plan had required the plaza to house a grocery store for its first 25 years. Even though Harvest Ranch Market occupied those 12,000 square feet at drastically reduced rent, the upscale grocer shut down on the final day of 2012, saying that the rent was still too high. “I know I share this feeling with many other neighbors: I’d love to get a supermarket back,” Brutten said. “It’s going to be a challenge to get that done. But we want to serve the community and those of us who live nearby. We want to be able to come here every day and have this be our place to get what we need.” She is inviting the community’s input on possible new tenants. To weigh in with suggestions, email her at DelMarPlazaCA@gmail.com. In the short-term, Brutten is pushing to get the word out that the plaza wants to be a focal point of the community. To that end, the plaza has become the lead sponsor for the Del Mar Foundation’s Summer Twilight Concert Series. The first of five concerts is June 20. It’s a much-needed step in the right direction, said Bob Gans, vice president of the Del Mar Foundation. Last spring, the foundation hosted an event at the plaza with Del Mar Ballet and local artists. After wading through an exhaustingly difficult effort to organize that event with the Bruttens’ predecessors —which helped spur the city’s attention — Gans is excited to see movement on the long-frustrating issue. “It’s very encouraging. Not only is our organization thrilled — and me personally — but everyone I’ve talked to in Del Mar is thrilled about this,” he said. “Marc and Patty totally get it.” The Del Mar Plaza’s website is www.delmarplaza.com

FROM LUNCHES, A1 Department of Agriculture’s requirements and dietary guidelines. The new menu includes a variety of tasty and unique options such as grilled salmon burgers with roasted potatoes or a rainbow salad with farm fresh veggies topped with sliced chicken breast. The popular orange chicken dish is served with brown rice tossed with fresh vegetables and seasoning, and the turkey hot dog comes with sweet potato fries. Solana Ranch was the pilot school for the new program beginning in November of 2015 before it rolled out to the rest of the district in January 2016. “Not only is the food healthy but it tastes good too,” said Principal Jerry Jones, who admits to having tried nearly everything on the menu. With the pilot program, students tested the meals and offered their reviews. The younger students were given stickers to reflect their happiness with the dishes. Little tweaks were made to make meals more acceptable, what the kids would actually eat. For example, while kids pulled the basil out of their Caprese paninis, they didn’t seem to mind the basil if it was chopped and mixed-in with their pasta Caprese with tomatoes and mozzarella. One student review of the pasta read: “I cannot stop eating! I like that it has cheese because the cheese doesn’t make it bland. This has a good savory taste. Keep it up!” Even as the pilot has ended, the district still wants to know what kids are thinking about the food. “Siri does a great job with asking the kids for their feedback,” Jones said. For months, Solana Ranch students were asking repeatedly for the nachos to come back on the menu and Jones had to begrudgingly tell them it wasn’t an option as it didn’t meet the nutritional standards. Pearlman listened to the kids

FROM SCHOOLS, A1 university levels, well as innovators in industry, CEOs of companies, entrepreneurs and parents. Based on themes heard at the first workshop, the district is crafting a new mission statement. In small groups, stakeholders discussed mission statement goals like student grit and perseverance, in taking risks, in being active and engaged citizens, and developing students’ compassion and stoking passions and curiosity. To help guide their discussions, the group heard from guest speaker David Bruemmer, co-founder and autonomy pioneer of 5D Robotics, a company based in Carlsbad that creates state-of-the-art hyper positioning and autonomous navigation platforms for autonomous vehicles. He shared his perspective on why schools need to be different for today’s kids and talked about the importance of teaching students to argue for what they believe and the power of students directing their own learning.

(students at Skyline Elementary School had also presented a nacho petition) and found a way for the district to do nachos but in a healthier way. Instead of using the processed, canned nacho cheese that you would find at a ballpark she found a real California-based cheese without preservatives that they could use with housemade pico de gallo and chips. When Jones informed the students a few weeks ago that the nachos were back, they were so excited that they erupted in chants and cheers. “The kids felt like they gave input and there was a response,” said Solana Beach School District Superintendent Terry Decker. “They felt ownership. Through rating the food and giving feedback, they’re not just being served, they’re a part of the process.” Solana Beach School District operates a different model with its lunch program — it has no central kitchen and each site has its own facility. “The feeling here is very home style. We prep it here and serve it fresh and hot to the kids,” Pearlman said. Solana Ranch, which opened in 2014, has the newest kitchen in the district — it is spacious with two walk-in refrigerators and plenty of storage. As other facilities around the district are smaller, Measure JJ funding will help make upgrades to kitchens at Skyline, Solana Vista and Solana Highlands. The newer kitchens will move away from the window serving model and be more open. Currently at one of four lunch times at Solana Ranch, students first pick up their milk or juice and then visit the salad bar to load plates with fruit or vegetables before making their choice of entrée at the window. The salad bar features salad mix and a variety of veggies, as well as specialty salads like corn relish, sesame broccoli, jicama and cucumber salad. Pearlman said every site has their favorites. “The cucumber goes over very big here at Solana Ranch; at Vista,

jicama is big,” she said. The corn relish salad is one of Superintendent Decker’s favorites because it’s an example of staff thinking creatively to take a commodity food and prepare it in a way that is tastier. Instead of heating up canned corn, Solana Beach uses the canned corn chilled and tosses it with chopped veggies and beans. “In those ways, we’ve turned the tables on school lunches,” Decker said. As the quality of the product has improved, labor and food costs have also risen. At the May 18 board meeting, the board will consider raising the price of school lunches from $3.75 to $4.50 per meal. The last time the district increased prices was in the 2013-14 school year from $3.25 to $3.75. By comparison at neighboring Del Mar Union School District, which uses an outside lunch provider, Choicelunch, the cost of lunches are $5.50 to $6. Currently Solana Beach’s program is running at a deficit and being picked up by the general fund. Decker told the board at the April 20 board meeting that they want to be careful about how they do price increases. “We’ve looked at different levels of increase. A proposed increase of 75 cents would bring in around $124,000 a year additional which would help offset that general fund piece that’s a deficit right now,” Decker said. “We want to be careful about how much we increase because for one thing it has a significant impact on our families but also we don’t want to go so high that we roll back on sales.” Decker said the intent of the lunch program is not to be a profit-making venture, they just would like it to get to even. “I believe it’s really important that we don’t run a profit on our lunches and that we just provide the best food possible at the lowest price possible,” Solana Beach School District board member Julie Union said.

The group also heard from Julie Evans, the CEO of Project Tomorrow and developer of the national Speak-Up research project. Evans has conducted over 514,000 surveys of students, teachers, parents and community members to provide useful feedback about education to school districts. Evans began with one of her favorite quotes: “If we teach today as we taught yesterday, we rob our children of tomorrow.” The quote from philosopher and educational reformer John Dewey is from 1916 and 101 years later, educators are still trying to solve the same question of how to improve the school experience. Part of Evans’ Speak-Up surveys is a word association with adults and students about how they perceive school. Adults perceived school as a place for knowledge acquisition and preparation, a place for learning skills and a place for socialization. Students, however, said that school was not their primary place for learning, that the instruction was

passive and detached from their lives and the real world and that it seems stilted and forced upon them. Students also said that school has a diminished role as a place for socialization. “Students will say every time I do this in some way: ‘School is something you have to do to get someplace else,’ and that always hurts my heart,” Evans said. “Part of your work here is to be able to change that.” Evans said data has shown that students do like the idea of learning how to do things, how to make and build things and they most like learning when they are in control of how and when they learn. “We have a population that is hungry, thirsting for having a meaningful learning experience,” Evans said. “I actually think this is one of the most exciting times ever in education because we have wonderful, dedicated educators and we have a population that wants to learn and a sense of urgency to do it right.”

FROM WATER, A2 household uses between one-half and a full acre-foot of water per year for both indoor and outdoor use, according to the nonprofit Water Education Foundation. “We’re really excited to have local water this year, that will help us with our costs,” said district spokeswoman Jessica Parks. The district’s report said the increased availability of local water will result in estimated savings of $634,000 next fiscal year. According to the report, about 36 percent of the district’s anticipated usage of 9,000 acre-feet will come from local supplies, while 64 percent will come from purchased, or imported, supplies. The district also expects to sell about 450 acre-feet of recycled water. The abundant rainfall meant that for the month of March, nearly 100 percent of the district’s water came from local supplies, said Parks. “We have it so we’re going to use it.” The district’s labor budget, which includes

contributions for retiree health and pension benefits, is expected to increase next year by $344,000, or 5 percent, said the report. An improved financial picture is also allowing the district to contribute $3.2 million to reserve funds next year, including the district’s rate stabilization fund, which is used to help offset rate increases when revenues decline, and its capital improvement fund, said the budget report. In March, the district lifted all water-use restrictions on its customers, proclaiming an end to the drought that had plagued California for the past five years. In April, the state followed suit, as Gov. Jerry Brown officially ended the state’s drought emergency. “Plentiful local water, the cessation of drought restrictions, continued fiscal conservatism, and the implemented and proposed rate increases from the 2016 Cost of Service Study all contribute to a brighter financial picture for (Fiscal Year 2018),” said the Santa Fe district’s budget report.

compromise the integrity of the exams. When parents request to review their child’s exams, teachers first ask parents to come in so the parents can go over the tests with the teacher. “I think there’s value in sitting down with the teacher at school to have a conversation,” Grove said. Robertson said he did make an appointment before school with Soderlund to review his son’s tests but ran out of time when students came in for class. He contends that parents who work full time or have other commitments cannot always adapt to a teacher’s schedule of availability. The district has since clarified its practice in a document titled “SDUHSD Test Return Practices,” which was developed with input from SDUHSD’s teachers union. The first bullet states in part, “We encourage teachers to send assessments home for student and parent review whenever possible … An assessment should be both a measure of learning and a learning activity.” The second bullet says,“If the parent is unable or unwilling to come to school [to review the test] … the teacher should send the assessment home for review,” as long as it does not fall under the previously cited list of exceptions. To counter the resistance of teachers who want to reuse tests, the final bullet states: “Teacher concerns about test security can be overcome through annual revision of assessments and creation of assessment tasks which do not lend themselves to rote learning, but rather to high order thinking, application of knowledge/skills, and performance tasks.” Providing access California’s Education Code states that school districts must provide “access” to student records including assessments, which many interpret to mean that parents can review tests in the classroom with the teacher. “We have the right not to send home any,” Grove said. “The law says we don’t have to. Ed. Code is pretty clear on that.” But the district’s practice has now been modified. Grove agreed that it can be a logistical problem for some parents who don’t have time to come in. “It’s good for parents to be engaged and looking at assessments,” he said. The district can now compel teachers to send tests home if parents request that, Grove said, as long as other teachers in the same department who might be using the same assessments have completed that testing cycle. When the change was made, he said there were teachers “who weren’t very happy about it.” But he said it’s not been an issue so far. Robertson remains skeptical. “They spent district money fighting the release of pop quizzes,” he said. “Now they’re telling you they advocate tests being given to parents? Oh the irony.” Just last week, Robertson said one of his sons asked for tests in math and economics to be sent home and “was told no tests are given back to take home.” Torrey Pines principal Rob Coppo said he can compel teachers to send tests home but looks for other options first, saying “the practice is limited.” “We typically like to approach this on a case by case basis, and our administrators work individually with the teachers and the family,” Coppo said in an email. It would appear that simply asking for the tests will not suffice, and parents will need determination to exercise their right to see tests and quizzes at home. Robertson called this a stalling technique because the district is beholden to the union, which he says favors teachers’ rights over the best interests of students. “The teachers union controls the district,” he said. “Nothing happens without their approval. In this case teachers want to reuse tests because that’s what is easiest for them, so that’s what they get.” But Grove said he’s wrong – that the district can and will compel reluctant teachers to send assessments home for parental review. Countered Robertson: “If this is a new policy, why not inform students? Why is it a state secret? Wouldn’t be helpful for parents to know they can now track their child’s progress in an informative manner?” A secret no longer.

Everlasting memories of loved ones

Marjorie May ‘Marje’ Halterman March 1, 1923 - April 1, 2017

SolAnA BeAch — “It’s not what kind of life one has, it’s how it’s lived.” Marjorie was born in Quincy, Il, on March 1, 1923, daughter to James Franklin “Frank” and nellie Gray Anderson. The third of seven children growing up in the depression, Marjorie learned early the rhythm of life, constantly gaining experience that was interwoven throughout with joys, sorrows, adaptations, giving, and taking. Marjorie developed a love of art very early. As a second grader, a chalk snow scene of hers was displayed in the city library in Quincy. In high school, the Quincy art school awarded her an art scholarship. Marjorie left Illinois in 1946 for long Beach,

cA. here she found employment at the long Beach naval Station in bookkeeping and in film retouching. her classes in early childhood education led to a job as a head Start teacher. It was in long Beach that she met and married Jacob henry halterman and started a family. Marje spent many summers in the Sierras

with her family, inspiring her love for nature and the outdoors. Marje valued her time as a member of the San Diego Sierra club. She loved hiking in the mountains and working in the kitchen at the nature Knowledge Workshop at Foster Point. Marjorie loved gardening and was quite active at Quail Botanical Gardens, now the San Diego Botanic Garden. She took great pride in her own gardens, was an excellent seamstress, and enjoyed corresponding with her family and friends. She lived independently into her 90s. her many passions played an important role in her volunteer work with the north coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach. It was here that she did most of the painting, producing scores of sceneries in

a relationship with the theatre that lasted nearly 35 years. Marjorie is survived by a brother, carl Anderson; three children, leslie Klusmire, James halterman, lisa halterman Blackburn; three stepdaughters; and three grandchildren. For those who knew Marjorie, join us for a celebration of her life at the north coast Repertory Theatre in Solana Beach in the cafe, Saturday June 10, 2017, at 10:30 am.

Grammy-nominated musicians to perform at Gator by the Bay

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY San Diego will resemble Louisiana in May when the annual Gator by the Bay music and food festival takes place at Spanish Landing Park. The event, slated for May 11 to 14, will include dozens of bands, including Grammy-nominated blues singer and pianist, Marcia Ball. Several local bands will also hit the stage. Encinitas musician Ben Powell, a one-man band, will bring his country-blues tunes to the festival. Powell, who was nominated for the best blues album in 2014 at the San Diego Music Awards for his sixth CD, plays a resonator guitar while stomping on a box to replicate a drum sound. He also sings and plays harmonica. He said he’s excited to share this type of music in San Diego. “This is kind of a more stripped-down, bare-bones style,” he said. “It’s a great American tradition of music, and it’s a niche these days. Not a lot of people are doing it, but I think it’s making a comeback when I see young people enjoying it and dancing to it.” The Farmers, comprised of

One-man band Ben Powell, of Encinitas, will perform at Gator by the Bay. former members of 1980s and ’90s band The Beat Farmers, will headline the main stage on May 13. Jerry Raney, lead guitarist, said if people were to try to pigeon hole the band — which has members from all over San Diego County — they would think of the band as a mix between the Rolling Stones and Creedence Clearwater Revival.

The band was nominated in the best rock category for the San Diego Music Awards this year. Fans can expect Beat Farmers songs, like “Happy Boy” and “California Kid,” as well as Farmers originals and other covers during their set, Raney said. Powell, a first-time Gator performer, said he enjoys being a part of something that sort of takes

San Diego to a different place. “We get a little taste of something outside our San Diego norm,” he said. “On top of that, we have the best San Diego bands in blues, rock and roots genres. It’s super fun being a part of it.” The festival will also include Louisianan food, a shopping plaza, activities for children, dancing and more. Peter Oliver, a Gator by the Bay producer, said in a statement that the event — which has been around since 2001 — brings “Louisiana’s eclectic melting pot of history, food, music, dance and more.” “We truly pride ourselves in offering San Diegans and visitors alike the chance to experience authentic Louisiana culture,” he said in a statement. “I can guarantee you will discover something new and leave wanting more.” The event will take place May 11 to May 14 with varying hours at Spanish Landing Park, directly across from the San Diego International Airport. Ticket prices range from $25 to $95. For more information, visit www.gatorbythebay.com.

Colleen and her viola da gamba will be at The Loft, May 18.

May means music and more at UCSD ArtPower BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT UC San Diego’s Art Power is making the merry month of May even merrier with some great music, performance and dance coming from near and far. Here are the Big Three, a trio of events to add to your May calendar. Miwa Matreyek Double Feature (May 3): LA-based animator/designer/performer Miwa Matreyek is not at all scared of her own shadow. In fact, she uses it in some of her multimedia pieces, integrating her shadow self, surreal images, meditative music and her own live performance. Her double feature includes “This World Made Itself,” a surreal history of the universe, and “Myth and Infrastructure,” in which her shadow travels through a dream-like fantasy world. Her work has won her Princess Grace Special Projects grants and a grant from

Creative Capital. Check out the online TED talk that has brought her over 800,000 viewers, and then come see her in person. “She’s an astounding theater artist who’s touring around the globe now,” said ArtPower’s executive director Jordan Peimer. “Her work is so captivating and innovative, you say ‘I can’t believe I’ve never seen this before’.” Colleen (May 18): French musician/composer Colleen, aka Cecile Schott, has been making music for more than 25 years. She started out in high school with classical guitar lessons, added electric guitar and some Beatles influence, and finally moved on to develop her own original, gently compelling style. Now she draws audiences in with an Enya-esque voice and unusual instruments like a treble viola da gamba, modified music boxes

and wind-chimes, while doubling the sounds with electronic effects pedals. Peimer calls her “unique, with a real dedication to her craft.” Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company “Play and Play” (May 25): The Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Company began as a collaboration between Bill T. Jones and Arnie Zane, and continues on as a major force in dance-theater since Zane’s death in 1988. Adjectives that have been used to describe their work include: powerful, cathartic, diverse, exciting. The Company has performed all over the world, winning critical and popular acclaim, along with multiple awards for choreographer/artistic director Bill T. Jones, now 65. Jones’ many credits include works for opera, theater, film and television. He has received a

MacArthur “Genius” grant, two Tony awards, honorary doctorates from six universities, Kennedy Center honors, and a National Medal of Arts, and his company is a must-see for any aficionado of dance. “Play and Play: An Evening of Movement and Music” will feature two of his more recent pieces, set to music by Ravel and Schubert, and will be accompanied by San Diego’s own Quartet Nouveau. ■ IF YOU GO: Miwa Matreyek, 8 p.m. May 3, Price Center East Ballroom, $40. Colleen, 8 p.m. May 18, The Loft, $23-$45. Bill T. Jones/Arnie Zane Dance Co., 8 p.m. May 25, Mandeville Auditorium, $25-$43.

Postal Annex in RSF Plaza can handle all shipping needs BY KAREN BILLING Postal Annex on Rancho Santa Fe Road specializes in being the neighborhood business service center, fulfilling packing, shipping and mail delivery needs for local residents and businesses. With the increased popularity of online shopping, Postal Annex also hopes to be “your personal doorstep” with its private mailbox rentals, avoiding the need for people to “chase the doortag” on deliveries and track down packages. “We track stuff down so they don’t have to,” owner Chuck Datte said of one of the extra services his Postal Annex provides. “The beauty of shipping here is you don’t ever have to chase packages.” Postal Annex, which has more than 275 locations nationwide, started out as a retail business service center in the University City neighborhood of San Diego in 1985. Datte opened the Postal Annex in Rancho Santa Fe Plaza two years ago with his wife, Cindy. Residents of San Diego since 1969, they also own a Postal Annex location in Cardiff. The couple has enjoyed building the business over the past two years through word

of mouth and forming relationships with regulars. As the Rancho Santa Fe Plaza space used to be a clothing store, the location is a lot more spacious than other Postal Annexes. There are 600 mailboxes in the store, with antique gold style fronts. Boxes and packaging line the shelves, including the store’s special boxes for shipping wine and computers and they offer a variety of greeting cards, including several collections by local artists. A section of stuffed animals, coloring books and other gift items are popular for overnighting last-minute birthday gifts. Datte would like to bring in artwork from local artists to fill the walls, for now there are a couple photos of his Ferraris — Datte has a passion for classic cars and often brings his cars into the village for the Secret Car Club on Saturdays. Datte aims for his Postal Annex to be convenient and efficient, to get people in and out and get their business completed quickly. For shipping needs, customers can shop for the best prices from FedEx, UPS, USPS and DHL. The location offers a notary service, which

Photographers invited to reserve for photo contest Olivenhain Municipal Water District and The Escondido Creek Conservancy invite amateur photographers of all ages to Elfin Forest Recreational Reserve for the 12th annual photography contest which began on Earth Day, April 22. Patrons are encouraged to take advantage of all the spectacular wildflower blooms and spring growth provided by the winter rains and warm weather in 2017 and experience the

outdoors through the art of photography at one of San Diego County’s most precious natural resources. The 784-acre reserve offers 11 miles of hiking, mountain biking, and equestrian trails as well as picnic areas and scenic mountain viewpoints. “This popular contest allows photographers of all skill levels to showcase their talents and the reserve’s natural beauty through the lens of resource conservation, recreation, and

stewardship,” states Jerry Varty, secretary of OMWD’s Board of Directors and Elfin Forest resident. “I look forward to seeing the stunning images captured in every corner of our picturesque reserve, which includes a portion of Escondido Creek, a variety of native plant communities, and views of the Pacific Ocean, Channel and Coronado Islands, and Laguna and San Bernardino mountain ranges. “ SEE PHOTOS, B15

Addicted to Busyness: Our Obsession with Full, Hectic Schedules What has happened to free time? Do you feel like nothing is good enough and you can’t keep up? Or you just can’t be content with the present and add yet another project onto your already full plate? A recent study published by consumer researchers (Bellezza, Pahaira, and Keinan, 2016) had me wondering about the psychological ramifications of the loss of free time, especially among upper class Americans. The study, entitled Conspicuous Consumption of Time: When Busyness and Lack of Leisure Time Become a Status Symbol, examines the evolution of leisure time correlated to social status. Leisure time used to be viewed as an ideal, a symbol of high social status. Now, however, free time has come to be looked down

DR. VAN CHENG San Diego Vein Institute 760.944.9263 sdveininstitute.com

upon as idleness. Instead, extreme hard work— hectic busyness—has become the symbol of power and achievement in modern American society. These consumer researchers posed an important psychological question: What happens when a society derives status and value from behaviors that are detrimental to well-being? Americans tend to view hectically busy schedules as a sign of desirability in an age of increasing competitiveness. Busyness in workers, parents, and students seems to signify high demand for their talents, expertise, and worthiness. Professionals who feel the pressure to keep up are more susceptible to agreeing to things they don’t want to do, such as taking on extra projects or assignments, working extra hours, or putting in extra face time at work-related events. We all have parts of our job that we like less than others and push through anyway. However, chronic role dissatisfaction and overload may be detrimental to overall wellbeing. Leisure time seems to be disappearing even from time off from work, as current American trends in vacationing include full schedules and increasingly competitive

activities, such as extreme sports. But isn’t that the price of success in this dog eat dog world? When people feel their college acceptance, career, or entire future is on the line, there is a greater compulsion to stay busy. The idea of stopping to smell the roses is ridiculous--there is no time for that! However, busyness often does not equal productivity. It seems that in popular culture, success is measured in achievements and material wealth, rather than in maintaining well-being and healthy relationships. However, keeping up such a hectic and frenzied lifestyle may have significant mental and physical health consequences. The obsession with staying busy can actually be a type of numbing behavior, the same numbing that is found among alcohol and drug abusers. People may use work as an avoidance tactic for various reasons, including an unhappy home life, troubled personal relationships, loneliness, or not feeling good enough. This busyness-as-numbing tactic then becomes an addiction. Excessive busyness and project-oriented behavior frequently leads to exhaustion and high levels of anxiety. There is a correlation

with high pressure careers (one study showed alarming rates involving lawyers and health care professionals with burnout) and depression, physical illness, alcoholism, other addictions, and in some cases, even suicide. Students, from the middle grades to graduate level, are expected to perform increasingly great feats of academic prowess as well as succeed at a collection of extracurricular activities, as competition for admission into elite schools grows more fierce. And this may be taking its toll on young people. A 2014 review of nearly 20 studies across Europe, China, Australia, and the United States revealed that teenage boys and girls are experiencing much higher rates of depression and anxiety than they were a decade ago. In The Silicon Valley Suicides, a December 2015 article by Hanna Rosin published in the Atlantic, the author explores the extremely serious fallout likely related to the extreme high pressure to achieve in an elite private high school in Palo Alto, CA.

Kick age-accelerating foods to the curb

I

recently lumbered in to my dentist’s office for an early morning appointment, a matcha green tea frappuccino in hand to jolt me into wakefulness. In an alarmed voice, the office manager advised me to discard the straw immediately, and never use one again. She then explained that the straw is a foe, an aging mechanism that encourages the notorious vertical lines or mouth wrinkles from the repetitive pursing motion as we imbibe our smoothies, cocktails, iced teas and coffees. The key to maintaining a smooth and firm complexion actually lies below the surface of the skin in the dermis where the structural protein known as collagen resides. In our youth, collagen is plump and abundant, but as we age our collagen cells lose their vibrancy and become scarcer. We are hit by a double whammy since we not only manufacture less precious collagen as the years progress, but also our bad eating habits destroy existing collagen. Along with the straw, I have compiled an A-(ge accelerating) List of foods that should also be eliminated, or at least consumed in moderation for maintaining both our health and youthful image. No Sugar Coating: The worst culprits

include refined cane sugars and high fructose corn syrup that have been linked to serious dental, mental and physical ailments and diseases. From a cosmetic perspective, simple sugars create free radicals that tamper with the structure of collagen. This causes a domino effect of premature aging, including wrinkles, loss of elasticity and bone density that contributes to a sagging jaw line. Sugar’s evil siblings like aspartame and other artificial sweeteners are just as damaging to collagen and the integrity of the skin. Best to use natural sweeteners, such as honey, stevia or maple syrup, or simply enjoy foods less sweet and more savory. The Booze Blues: Since alcohol tinkers with the functioning of our liver, toxins are not properly eliminated, causing collateral damage to the skin like acne, blotchiness and loss of collagen. Alcohol is also dehydrating, which can contribute to a drawn look and sallow complexion. Burnt Offerings: While you do not have to ban barbecue from your culinary repertoire, avoid blackened-style preparations and marinating in sweet, sticky sauces that burn easily. Also scrape away any charred spots

whether on fish, chicken, meat or vegetables since these pro-inflammatory hydrocarbons clobber collagen fibers (and have been linked to assorted cancers). Rubbing Salt in the Wound: Ordinary table salt you find in the shakers at roadside diners causes dehydration, which leads to that tired, droopy and even haggard look, along with puffiness around the eyes. Even though you may not cook with salt, it’s abundant in everything from cottage cheese to canned foods. So read labels judiciously, and swap out the white table salt for Pink Himalayan salt with a rich store of minerals, especially copper, iron, potassium, calcium and magnesium. This precious pink salt actually increases hydration, regulates water content both inside and outside of cells, and has also been attributed to ratcheting up libido. Dangerous Deli: Any way you slice it, deli meats and charcuterie from pastrami and corned beef to sausages and bacon are high in sulfites, preservatives and salt, which can trigger inflammatory responses causing puffiness and other signs of aging. Best to opt for leaner meats like organic chicken or turkey breast, or plant-based charcuterie, such as seitan nicknamed “wheat meat,” vegan bacon, or coconut jerky that produces a chewy carnivorous alternative, especially for those with gluten or soy sensitivities. Don’t Chew the Fat: Artery-clogging trans fatty monsters also trigger inflammation that not only damages collagen, but also makes the skin more sensitive to UV rays. So once again, read labels carefully, and avoid partially hydrogenated oils, including margarine, dairy creamers and fats that are generally solid at room temperature.

SUMMER, a 13-year-old Domestic Short Hair mix, is a lovely feline looking for a special family to call her own. Summer was adopted from San Diego Humane Society several years ago, but has recently returned to us when her owner unexpectedly passed away. She has had a hard time adjusting to shelter life again, but she is slowly coming out of her shell and showing her caregivers what a sweet and affectionate girl she is.
