SD panel recommends ‘considerations’ to make One Paseo acceptable BY KAREN BILLING Just as carefully as the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board made sure it used the word “reject” in its recommendation for One Paseo, the San Diego Planning Commission didn’t use the words “deny” or “approve” when forwarding the project on to the San Diego City Council.

On Oct. 16, commission members voted unanimously that they “all agree that it’s a good project in concept but are unable to recommend to city council that they accept it as is and offer the following considerations to make it acceptable.” The list of considerations includes 11 issues

SDUHSD continues to look at bell schedules, flexible start times BY KAREN BILLING Bell schedules and start times will be one of the main areas of focus for the 2014-15 school year in the San Dieguito Union High School District, said an official at the Oct. 16 board meeting. Jason Viloria, executive director of educational services, said the district is evaluating what works best for students and schools and each school site will continue discussions with staff, parents and kids throughout the year. The district has listed priorities such as having enough teacher collaboration and planning time, making sure access to electives are not limited because of schedules and having intervention and enrichment time available for students. As an example, Carmel Valley Middle School has PAW (Productive Academic Work) time and HIRE (Homework Intervention Reteach Enrichment) time dedicated to give students extra help. Some campuses already have flexible start times, allowing students to arrive earlier or later depending on their needs. At Diegueno Middle School and Carmel Valley Middle School, about 400 students at each school opt to come at 7:30 a.m. and the rest come at 8:30 a.m. The bell schedule conversation ties into the work of the district’s recently formed High School Enrollment Study Group, as Superintendent Rick Schmitt said that bell schedules are always the top reason why high schoolers pick one school over another. Schmitt said the district has a hard deadline of January if it decides to do anything regarding changing bell schedules at its four comprehensive high schools. The enrollment group had 104 parent applicants and 15 were selected to serve on the committee, according to Assistant SuSee SCHEDULES, page 30

that members have problems with, including lowering building height (requesting an attempt to get to six stories rather than nine), bulk and scale, storm water and water recapture, transit and parking. “We’re grateful for the planning commission’s thorough examination of One Paseo and unanimous

recommendation to move the project forward to the city council with 11 refinements,” said developer Kilroy Realty in a statement. “Kilroy agreed at the hearing to these project improvements, which will enhance One Paseo’s benefits for the community.” City staff has recommended approval of the

project and it is expected to go before the San Diego City Council in the coming months. As part of its 11 issues, the commission believes that the Environmental Impact Report’s statement of overriding considerations needs to be “beefed up” and See ONE PASEO, page 27

Skyline ‘Walk to School Day’

Skyline Elementary School held its “Walk to School Day” on Oct. 8 as part of an international event. October is “International Walk to School Month,” which “gives children, parents, school teachers and community leaders an opportunity to be part of a global event as they celebrate the many benefits of walking (www.iwalktoschool.org).” Pictured above clockwise, l-r: Beth and Mia Crocker; Paulina, Paola and Gabriel; Antonia Hastings and Luana Gonzales; Julia and Annalise Fox.

Potential costs presented for new DM city hall, civic center BY KRISTINA HOUCK A new city hall and civic center would cost Del Mar at least $7.4 million and up to $15 million in net costs, according to a report presented to the City Council on Oct. 20. After looking at industry standards and comparable developments, Carrier Johnson Architects, the city’s consultant, presented potential costs for the eight concepts it

presented to the council Oct. 6. Each of the options feature a 9,250-square-foot city hall, 3,200-square-foot town hall and 15,000-square-foot plaza, but varying parking options. Most of the concepts also include commercial and/or residential space. According to the report, it would cost Del Mar an estimated $7.4 million to replace the deteriorating facilities at 1050 Camino del Mar with a basic municipal program — a city hall, town hall,

plaza and 60 parking spaces. The basic buildings, along with 10 townhomes and 204 parking spaces, would cost more than $15 million. With Del Mar’s third city hall planning workshop one week away, council members used the information to narrow the lists of options staff will present during the event. The council decided on three concepts, options B, C2 and D.

Del Mar residents can provide feedback on city services through online survey in November

Testimony begins in trial of man accused of killing his mother in Solana Beach

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Del Mar residents will have an opportunity to offer feedback on city services through an online survey in November. After several rounds of revisions, the council unanimously approved a draft citizen satisfaction survey during the Oct. 20 meeting. From administrative services to law enforcement services, the 22-question survey will measure the city’s performance and assess community needs. “These kinds of surveys enable us to check in with the community on their level of satisfaction with core services that the city provides in a method that’s intended to avoid bias,” said Kristen Crane, assistant to the city manager. “Surveys like this are useful for establishing goals, priorities and program recommendations through the budgetsetting process, which for Del Mar will begin early in the New Year.” Because Del Mar last conducted a sur-

BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Testimony began Oct. 22 in the sanity phase of trial of a man who killed his mother and chopped up her body in her Solana Beach home after she ended his access to her money. Bryan Chang, 33, pleaded guilty to first-degree murder for the January 2010 death of 60-year-old Sherry Chu Chang. The defense contends, however, that Bryan Chang was insane at the time of the killing. Opening statements in the sanity phase of trial were delivered Oct. 21 in the courtroom of Vista Judge Harry Elias. The victim’s body was found Jan. 25, 2010 at her home after she didn’t show up for work. The defendant was arrested two nights later at his home in Los Angeles. Sherry Chu Chang suffered 75 separate wounds, including blows to her arm, back and scalp, delivered by either a claw hammer, baseball bat or some other blunt force instrument, according to previous court testimony. At a preliminary hearing in 2012, defense attorney Kathleen Cannon said her client smashed his mother’s skull, then cut up her body, putting an arm and some broken bones in the refrigerator. Deputy District Attorney Rachel Solov said the victim had made changes to her accounts so that her son couldn’t get access to them through credit cards or other means. Her credit card was used after she was killed, and $2,000 was taken from her purse, according to court testimony.

vey in 2006, the city identified a survey as a priority for the current fiscal year and budgeted $15,000 for the effort. In February, council members agreed to hire a consultant and expected the questionnaire to be ready late spring. The survey was delayed, however, when council members cut the budget and opted for a hybrid approach, awarding Probolsky Research a $6,400 contract to develop, administer and summarize the survey with city staff. After several rounds of revisions, the council finally approved the seventh version of the questionnaire Oct. 20. To avoid duplicate submissions, registered voters will soon receive postcards with a unique identifier access code for the Internet-based survey. The survey will begin early November, following the election, and remain open for four weeks. Staff expects to present the results to council in early 2015.

Del Mar Mesa planning board enforces fencing guidelines

CCA places third in national math contest San Diego’s Canyon Crest Academy has some of the best high-school mathematicians in the country, as demonstrated by their thirdplace finish in the 2014 Fall Startup Event, a national mathematics contest administered by National Assessment & Testing. Coach Brian Shay prepared students for the first major competition of the ac-

ademic year, in which students worked furiously for 30 minutes, racing to answer 100 problems in a variety of mathematical topics. According to Tom Clymer, director of the competition, “It’s similar to a musician practicing scales; many of these skills can become almost instinctual.”

With so many questions and so little time, competitors must not only have strong mathematical skills, but also be able to quickly decide which problems to solve and which to skip. After results from students around the country were processed, several CanSee CONTEST, page 30

BY SUZANNE EVANS The Del Mar Mesa Community Planning Board Oct. 9 discussed Del Mar Specific Plan fencing guidelines, and the non-compliance to those guidelines of some Pardee Homes in Alta Del Mar, an enclave of estate homes and custom homesites southeast of Carmel Country Rd. At the 2013 Pacific Coast Builders Conference, Pardee’s Alta Del Mar plan 3 won the grand award for best single-family home over 4,000 square feet. “We want compliance with the Del Mar Mesa Specific Plan, in which fencing guidelines specify fencing should not be solid,” said planning board chair Gary Levitt. The city’s condition of approval for Pardee’s Alta Del Mar was that fencing not be solid, Levitt emphasized. “We are fighting against the ‘Carmel Valley-ization’ of Del Mar Mesa,” said Levitt, complaining that “rear-yard fencing of homes visible when driving east up the hill from Carmel Country Road, presents an incongruous mixture of open wrought iron fencing, followed by several houses with solid wood, and finally a house with a solid brick wall. We request Pardee adhere to the fencing conditions.” New board member and Del Mar Mesa horse corral owner Diane Korsh suggested homeowners could use peer pressure for conformity. The board agreed unanimously to enforce implementation of the Specific Plan fencing guidelines.

CCA teachers’ expertise extends beyond school, but returns to enrich it BY DIANE Y. WELCH Envision arts offered through Canyon Crest Academy invite visiting artists to enrich the students’ experience. Supported by the school’s foundation, these professionals are role models and show students what is possible. A recent event at CCA’s Proscenium Theatre presented the artists’ work to an appreciative student audience. Also taking part were several of CCA’s Envision faculty who performed on stage or had art pieces exhibited in the lobby. Like the visiting artists, CCA staff are fully engaged in their respective fields and each has strong views as to why the myth of “Those who can, do. Those who can’t, teach!” is just that: a myth. Rachel Edwards, who teaches drawing classes and digital imaging, said, “I am a very strong proponent that all teachers, not just arts teachers, should have a passion for pursuing their personal interests and bettering their career skills outside of the classroom.” Edwards has had shows in Los Angeles and Orange County as well as San Diego. She has also taught workshops on figure drawing — her area of expertise — for local arts organizations and at the Said Space gallery in Encinitas. Visual arts coordinator Jessica Matthes, a fine artist, has been commissioned to paint large-scale murals for Kid Ventures in Liberty Station. She recently took part in “Perspectives: The Berlin Wall,” a collaborative show featuring several San Diego artists. “Each artist utilized actual pieces of the Berlin Wall in their work,” said Matthes. The exhibition will be coming to Carlsbad’s Front Porch Gallery next month. Angela Jackson, also a fine artist, brings her work into the classroom. “I think when you are able to share your passion about why you chose your career with your students, it shows another dimension of yourself,” she said. Students critique her works in progress and learn from the processes she uses. Jackson recently ended a solo show at the Solana Beach City Hall and has a second at the North

In recent years, Raines went to Haiti after the 2010 earthquake and produced compassionate documentaries on his return. Raines creates video productions with his students and helps with segments of CCA’s weekly television show. “It’s a great way for me to teach by example and work with students, instead of just showing them what to do,” he said. Some of Raines’ students volunteered as tech crew at the 2013 TEDxYouth@SanDIego event where Raines was a presenter. Being an artist is something innate, said dance teacher

‘The more we talk about this, the less shame there will be’ • Actor Joe Pantoliano shares experiences with mental illness, addiction at Bipolar Foundation luncheon: ‘We all have our stories to tell’ BY ASHLEY MACKIN Joe Pantoliano, the actor known for his roles in “Risky Business,” “The Sopranos,” “The Fugitive,” “The Matrix” and “Memento,” spoke Oct. 8 in La Jolla at the International Bipolar Foundation luncheon to address the importance of open and non-judgmental dialogue when discussing mental illness. In 2006, Pantoliano produced and starred in “Canvas” with Marcia Gay Harden, the story of a family affected by mental illness, based on a true story. Inspired by that role, Actor Joe Pantoliano dishe founded cussed his struggles with “No Kidding, mental health and addicMe Too,” a tion at an International Bi- n o n p r o f i t polar Foundation lundedicated to cheon on Oct. 8. removing shame or embarrassment when talking about mental illness, and directed a documentary of the same name. By sharing his personal struggle with lifelong depression and addiction, he said he hopes to encourage others to do the same. “Living in secrecy and shame from the discrimination that shrouds (mental illness) has got to end,” he said. “I don’t know why there is so much shame in having what a lot of people have. I just don’t get it.” Pantoliano explained that although his

career was going strong, there was “an emptiness” inside him and a pain he didn’t want to feel. So he turned to drugs and alcohol, at one time taking 25 Vicodin a day. “Mental disease and addiction go hand in hand, and in my case, my addictions were born out of my emotional disease and emotional unbalance,” he said. “For me, drugs and alcohol were painkillers. What I was doing was trying to avoid a pain inside of me, and I was looking for a way out.” Pantoliano talked openly and candidly about his experiences, including his challenge with dyslexia as a child. “When I was auditioning for a high school play, I had to have my sister read the play to me and I would memorize the part I was auditioning for, and I pretended I was reading off the page,” he said. “I did that for 15 years.” Happy to share his story, he added, “The more we talk about this, the less shame there will be. We all have our stories to tell, and when we share our stories, we feel less alone.” Pantoliano had the opportunity to share his story through 12-step recovery programs, where, he said, “people know what it’s like to be you and be in your head.” Now sober, he said he believes in the power of recovery programs and “finding your tribe,” but also believes in preventing the sense of stigma in children. “People see it as a reflection of themselves when their child is diagnosed with something. They ask themselves what they did wrong. I think (a better idea) is early prevention,” he said. “Starting with kids as young as preschool, teach them that it’s cool to have feelings. Make it socially acceptable to have emotions.” He contends that children need to be

Photos by Ashley Mackin told it is OK to have and express their positive and negative emotions; otherwise, they might turn to drugs to avoid feeling them. Pantoliano’s lecture, and the luncheon itself, was held the day before National Bipolar Awareness Day, and the kickoff of the Say It Forward campaign. During the campaign, which closed Oct. 12, those with mental health problems were encouraged to use social media to share their stories using the #SayItForward tag to educate their friends. In 2012, The Say It Forward campaign reached 10,000 people, and in 2013, more than 1 million people. Numbers for the 2014 campaign are still coming in. International Bipolar Foundation cofounder Muffy Walker said “The concept ‘pay it forward’ means to perform a selfless good deed for someone. ‘Say It Forward’ does the same by speaking out against stigma. ‘Say It Forward’ will encourage people to bust it and show the world that mental conditions such as bipolar disorder can affect anyone, and there is no shame in it.” In an ongoing effort, Walker also announced the Make Someone Happy campaign, and challenged each attendee to make three people happy. To help, the Bipolar Foundation distributed red clown noses, and asked guests to put the nose on and send a photo to someone who could use a laugh.

Carmel Valley Recreation Center celebrates 15th anniversary at Oct. 26 event BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Community Park is celebrating its 15th anniversary with a party this Sunday, Oct. 26. From 1:30 to 4:30 p.m. the park will host an afternoon including music from Atomic Groove, inflatable jumpers, snow cones and kettle corn, face painting and crafts, and of course, birthday cake. “We wanted to recognize our 15 years and do something for the community for a nice and fun Sunday afternoon,” said Marilee Pacelli, Carmel Valley Recreation Council member. Carmel Valley’s park, recreation center and pool opened to the public on Oct. 15, 1999. While she wasn’t involved in the design, Pacelli had just joined the Recreation Council the year before. Ginny Barnes chaired the design committee. A growing community grew anxious waiting for the park space to open — there were rain and construction delays, landscaping problems and even “faulty paint,” according to a July 1999 Carmel Valley News article. The 18-acre park is unique in that it is spread out onto three levels: the lower level off El Camino Real, the second with the recreation center, pool, amphitheater and grass area; and the top level with the basketball, tennis courts and big field, frequently filled with adult softball leagues. “One of the benefits of the unique design is the stairs,” Pacelli said of the steps connecting the levels. “It’s kind of fun that the design lends itself to people getting in shape; people are always running the stairs.” The community center is always buzzing with activity. “Basketball is big in the gym, both adults and kids,” Pacelli said. “We are one of the top recreation councils in the city due to the money we’re able to raise because we have such successful programs. All of our programs pretty much sell out.” Center Director Salome Martinez has done a great job in terms of adding programs, Pacelli said, noting such programs as Tots n Pots kids’ baking classes, Booktastic book club, art, dance, Master Sports and the always-full toddler

Because of that success, CV Rec Council is able to put money back into the fields for upkeep and into the equipment that the programs use, from upgraded scoring clocks in the gym to mats for gymnastics. The council is also able to organize movie nights and summer concert series, sponsored by Kilroy Realty and Pardee Homes. “We want to give back to the community so it is a fun place for people to come, and to have it be a hub for Carmel Valley, a place where people can congregate,” Pacelli said. One place the rec council’s funds will be going to work very soon is at the pool. The Carmel Valley Pool is unique in that it has two water slides, a big attraction. The slides had to be closed because they needed repairs, but come November, the pool will close for three months to repair the slides. The work is being done through council funds and matching funds from the city. In the park’s original blueprints, there were designs for

The arenas could serve soccer, lacrosse, field hockey and even some Pop Warner football. Although they were not incorporated into the design, Pacelli said the plans have since been approved by the city parks and recreation board — they just need the funds to build them. The council has discussed using Facilities Benefits Assessment funding for that project as well as for installing artificial turf on the fields, with the understanding that funds would need to be set aside for future maintenance and replacement as well.

Students take history by the hand with Solana Beach Living History program BY KRISTINA HOUCK The Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society recently turned back the clock, bringing history to life for local students. From doing household chores to playing traditional games, Solana Vista Elementary School third-graders learned what it was like to live in the early 1900s during the society’s Living History program. “Kids learn by doing,” said Jenell Strickland, a thirdgrade teacher at Solana Vista. “Having the opportunity to come here and live it not only brings the content to life, but leaves a bigger impression. They’ll be able to retain the information better because they got to experience it firsthand instead of just reading it in a book.” Every year, Solana Beach third-graders visit the Solana Beach Heritage Museum at 715 Valley Ave. to tour the community’s first home, which sat for 101 years on Pepper Tree Lane, now called Del Mar Downs Road. Solana Beach historian Jim Nelson and his wife, Kathalyn, oversee the educational program, which covers the community’s history, starting from when the area was inhabited by Native Americans. “We’re hoping to spark an interest in history and especially in local history,” said Nelson, who said the museum houses more than 400 antiques. During the program, Nelson and other volunteer docents dress in period attire, inviting the students to pretend they are spending a week at the 10-acre Molly Glen Ranch, which used to be on the south slopes of Solana Beach in the late 1800s. Nelson plays the role of Sen. James West Stevens, who once inhabited the original house, and shows the students around the 1900s-style parlor. Stevens teaches the children how to perform chores such as filling kerosene lamps and vacuuming. The kids later visit the kitchen, where Stevens’ wife, Susanna, demonstrates another two dozen chores. “They really love the whole concept of going back in time,” Strickland said. “It’s such a novel experience for them. They not only get to see the antiques, but they get to

touch them, use them and pretend with them. Third-graders still love to pretend.” After touring both rooms, the students head outside to play traditional games such as croquet, hopscotch, jump rope and sack races. After playtime, the kids return to the museum, where time has fast-forwarded to the 1930s, when Edwin and Jennie Stevens lived in the house. With the construction of Lake Hodges, students learn how the impact of running water helped transform Lockwood Mesa to today’s Solana Beach. They discover how chores changed and tour a more modern 1930s kitchen and living room, which feature a sink with faucets, refrigerator, gas stove, washing machine, wall phones and more. Before the end of the field trip, students help make homemade ice cream. “Everything is hands-on, so the kids can touch anything they want,” Nelson said. “We try to make everything come alive.” Launched a decade ago, the Living History program has served as many as 21 third-grade classes throughout the Solana Beach School District per year. With only 14 volunteers but seven docents needed for each field trip, this year’s pro-

Local residents embark on Roosevelt Centennial Expedition to Amazon BY KRISTINA HOUCK It’s been a century since Theodore Roosevelt explored the uncharted River of Doubt — a journey that nearly killed the former president. To mark the centennial, two Del Mar residents recently kicked off their own scientific expedition of the Amazon river. “We’re paying homage to that expedition,” said Jeffrey Lehmann, a fourth-generation Del Mar resident, who left for the trip on Oct. 15. “It’s a tribute to the incredible sacrifices they made to go down that river 100 years ago.” Roosevelt and renowned Brazilian explorer Cândido Rondon explored and mapped the 1,000-mile-long river in 1914. But because the region remains relatively unknown, Lehmann and Marc Meyers, an engineer and professor at UC San Diego, plan to retrace the route, celebrating the first expedition, conducting science experiments and comparing the changes that have occurred over the past century. “There’s lots that we don’t know about that river still,” Lehmann said. ‘We can see its path from a satellite, but we don’t really know what’s down there.” Lehmann and Meyers met through friends in 1991. Lehmann had just graduated from UC San Diego when Meyers started teaching at the campus. Meyers, a native of Brazil and Del Mar resident, specializes in biomimicry, designing synthetic materials inspired by nature. His passion for the field stems from his participation in the Rondon Project, when he explored the Amazon rainforest in 1969. Since then, Meyers has conducted extensive research on biological specimens from Brazil, including toucan beaks and piranha teeth. He will further his research of the rain forest’s flora and fauna during the expedition.

‘True Tails’ unleashes creativity for pair of Carmel Valley authors BY SAMANTHA TATRO Carmel Valley authors and best friends Kari Sherman and Carey Laubenberg owe their first book to their dogs. “We just sort of casually met each other, idly chit-chatted at the dog park and as we got to know each other we started sharing dog stories, just stories from the dog park, and we’d just sit there and laugh and giggle and stuff,” Laubenberg said. “Then we were joking around, ‘Oh my God, this would make a good book.’” The two met more than a year ago when their dogs, Max and Luther, became best friends at the dog park. The two friends are regulars at the Del Mar Dog Beach, the Torrey Pines Dog Park and the Torrey Hills Dog Park. Though they had thrown around the idea of a book before, Laubenberg finally decided that the book they always discussed as a hypothetical should become a reality — and that it would be released by Christmas of this year. Laubenberg found a publisher and illustrator for their book and told her friend at the dog park in July. “She literally came to the dog park one day … and said, ‘I found ourselves a publisher for our book,’” Sherman said. “And I was like, ‘What?’ She’s like, ‘Yeah, we have a meeting with her and the illustrator.’ And I was like, ‘Oh, I guess we have to write it then.’” To accompany the release of their book, “True Tails From the Dog Park,” the firsttime authors founded Max and Luther publications, named after their dogs, a puggle

named Max and an Old English bulldog named Luther. The website will become a launch pad for their next two books and a place for the authors to continue writing funny stories from their own point of view. The entire process took two months to complete and the authors are working on their second book. When writing, each woman will write a story on her own before sending it to the other and letting her edit it and put her own twists on it. “We basically say, ‘Individually it would be tough, but together we make one great person,’” Laubenberg said. “We each have different strengths and weaknesses, but it’s been really good — we’ve each delegated responsibilities.” To some, writing a book would be a daunting task, but the authors said they tackled it by breaking their work into pieces. “We had an idea right from the start about how we wanted this book to lay out,” Laubenberg said, adding that they had months of conversations and stories in the park to draw from when writing. “We knew it was going to be a series and collection of stories.” Both authors said their dogs, Max and Luther, have made their lives a better place. They hope the book will be light-hearted and funny for dog lovers everywhere. “It’s a quick read — it’s something you can pick up, read, laugh, put down and pick up again the next day,” Sherman said. “You can read one story at a time. It’ll make you laugh and it’ll make you smile.” The authors will be signing copies of

Freedom Frontline to host post-election discussion Nov. 13 at Del Mar Hilton • Group seeks to engage young people in politics, educate them on ‘constitutional responsibilities’ BY DIANE Y. WELCH Freedom Frontline, an organization whose mission is to educate its members and others about the political process, will hold an “Informative Evening” on Thursday, Nov. 13, at the Del Mar Hilton, after the election primaries. Genevieve Wood, a senior contributor for The Heritage Foundation, and Jason Cabel Roe, a Washington, D.C., veteran with more than 20 years’ campaign experience and knowledge of government policy, are speakers for the event. Both will analyze and give a recap of the election results and what may be expected politically in 2016. During the evening, members will have the opportunity to elect candidates to Freedom Frontline’s board. Freedom Frontline was born from Fairbanks Republican Women Federated (FRWF), a local chapter of the National Federation of Republican Women. Ursula Kuster of Rancho Santa Fe, past president of FRWF,

which recently closed its doors, agreed to head up Freedom Frontline. Its mission is “to educate, inspire and encourage participation in the political process.” The organization seeks to constitutionally correct solutions to the challenges facing the USA, according to its website. Vivian Hardage is serving as an adviser to Freedom Frontline, providing historical background from FRWF. She was active during its 20year run, when it amassed nearly 500 members and raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for political and charitable causes. From its inception, FRWF’s approach deviated from strict national guidelines, she said. It had a male auxiliary, a teenage arm, and was engaged philanthropically. “We were rabble- rousers,” joked Hardage. But it is these same elements that form the basis of the new organization. Former members of FRWF recognized that many younger potential voters seemed uninterested in politics in general, and that the

Ursula Kuster Republican brand did not foster their interest. They felt that a new centrist-conservative approach was needed to get new people involved, refreshing the organization with younger members who had different ideas. “So we regrouped and formed Freedom Frontline to include people who might call themselves independent, or libertarians, or may not even call themselves anything, because they are uninformed voters,” said Hardage. “We want to reach out to have a discussion, to introduce new members to others to

see if there is a fit, to see if they can be involved.” Kuster didn’t hesitate to lead the new organization. “We brainstormed for a new name and a presentation that represents the upholding of all of America, not just San Diego County,” said Kuster. “We will start at home first, but my vision is that on a national level, we can educate people of all ages about their constitutional responsibilities.” Originally from West Germany, Kuster immigrated to the U.S. in 1987, becoming a U.S. citizen. “It gave me a different perspective on the country, as I had to learn a lot about the function of government,” she explained. A businesswoman, Kuster owns and runs a skin care manufacturing company, CA Botana International. She volunteers with the Salvation Army, is a proponent for mentoring young adults and believes in being educated and involved. About government, Kuster said, “You can sit back and do nothing, or you can step in to make a difference.”

OPEN HOUSE

Freedom Frontline will form coalitions and has plans to reach into education and to work with the military and other political organizations. Its coalition with The Heritage Foundation is already in place. Philanthropy will continue to be a focus. And there will be a strong emphasis on mentoring young women and men to bring them into the field of politics, said Kuster.

Register online at www. freedomfrontline.com to attend Freedom Frontline’s “Informative Evening,” $45 for members, $50 for nonmembers, $20 for students. The event will start at 5:30 p.m. at the Del Mar Hilton, 15575 Jimmy Durante Blvd., Del Mar. Membership registration is also available online.

Local author seasons ‘Halloween Stew’ to young readers’ taste BY KAREN BILLING It started as a “teeny little” book for her five grandchildren in 2010, a story about a crabby witch who didn’t like to share. Now Carmel Valley’s Jane Meyers is hoping to serve up “Halloween Stew” to a broader group of young readers. Meyers’ first children’s book was printed just two weeks ago by eFrog Press in Carlsbad, just before this year’s holiday, but Meyers and illustrator Cecelia Blomberg are hoping to do a big marketing push for next year’s Halloween. They already have interest from Bank Street Bookstore in New York for 2015, but this year it will be the only Halloween book carried in Thinker Things in Solana Beach. It is also available on amazon.com and as an e-book. Every Thursday for the past four years, Meyers has volunteered at Sage Canyon School in Jodi Lack’s first-grade classroom. Last week, Lack invited Meyers to read “Halloween Stew” to her students. The kids were engaged in the story ‘Halloween Stew’ by Jane as the once-stingy witch learned about friendship and how Meyers features sharing can be the best treat of all. illustrations by Cecilia “It was really the coolest thing ever,” Meyers said. “They Blomberg. loved it so much and applauded at the end. One little girl said, ‘I like how you read it,’ and they all wanted to get the book because they loved the pictures. And they really got the message, they talked about how the witch changes. “It was just priceless. It was the best thing to happen since I started this process.” A retired educator, Meyers spent 30 years in education as a teacher and administrator. She taught at Loma Portal Elementary in Point Loma for 10 years, went on to teach junior high at Bell Middle School in San Diego and then went to the San Diego County Office of Education as a language arts coordinator. She ended her career serving as the director of reading and language arts for the county. Upon her retirement in 2006, she started working with friend Ellie Topolovac’s nonprofit Books and Beyond, which provides literacy programs for families and communities. Topolovac is a retired Solana Beach School District superintendent. The inspiration for “Halloween Stew,” her grandchildren, now range in age from 6 to 14: Owen Ruff, a first-grader at Sage Canyon School; Andrew Ricci, a third-grader at Solana Highlands; Katherine Ruff, a third-grader at Sage Canyon School; Megan Ricci, a seventhgrader at Carmel Valley Middle; and Kaelyn Ricci, a freshman at Torrey Pines High. Meyers has lived in Carmel Valley for the past seven years and she loves being close to her grandkids — she’s able to walk to pick up Andrew from school, and she loves their walks home, where he talks nonstop about his day. After the book’s humble original became a favorite, her family encouraged her to publish it. “It’s in rhyme, and I’m not a poet,” Meyers said. “The revisions were in the hundreds.” She worked with several poets to get the rhymes and rhythms just right. Illustrator Blomberg, who lives in Seattle, is one of Meyers’ closest friends. Their hus-

bands were fraternity brothers, and she’d always admired her talented friend’s work. She gave Blomberg full artistic license to bring the witch to life — wild, curly hair and rolled-up jeans under her black cloak and stewstirring apron. “The story remained the same but some parts I put into the book because of Cecelia’s pictures,” Meyers said. “She enhanced the story with her illustrations; she just made it better.” The witch is a loner who each Halloween cooks up some Halloween stew made with tasty ingredients like wiggly worms, mosquito Jane Meyers’ book, ‘Halloween Stew,’ got rave reviews wings, frog legs and apple cores. She doesn’t want to from first-grade students at Sage Canyon School. share it with anyone, so she cooks it in a secret spot — but the bubbles made from her brewing attract creatures and ghosts who want to have a taste. She tries to fly away with her stew, but her broom breaks, and all the creatures end up eating the spoils. All of the witch’s perceived enemies are actually such big fans of the stew that they offer to build her a new titanium broom with special hooks so she can safely fly with her brew. The witch is so happy to have finally made some friends that her whole attitude changes: “Zibbly-zoo! What a switcheroo! … With my new broom as you can see, I am no longer Mean-Witch-Me!” To pair with the book, Blomberg and Meyers came up with a Halloween Stew recipe that parents can have fun making with their children, with ingredients such as black rice for fleas and bugs, roasted red peppers for wiggly worms, and fennel fronds for moss. The pointy ends of dark kale leaves act as lizard tails. “It’s really fun, because it’s very good, and the kids like it,” said Meyers, who’s brewed it up multiple times to be sure. The recipe is written so kids can dump the ingredients in, just like the witch would. Find the recipe, as well as activities to accompany the book, on the website, MyHalloweenStew.com.

a show at The Vine, an intimate black-box theater owned by Mojalet Dance Collective on the grounds of the Bernardo Winery. “I am also currently in talks with the organizer of The Fringe Festival in San Diego, and I am going to be working closely with some alumni and current students to get them involved,” she said. New to the school is Envision Theatre Coordinator Jeannine Marquie, who has been very active in the San Diego theatre scene working with San Diego Repertory, Diversionary Theatre, La Jolla Playhouse and the Playwrights Project. As she settles into her new role, she plans to pursue her outside theater involvements, she said. Visual arts teacher Carol Limbach joined French artists during a summer trip to Provence and Brittany, creating plein-air artworks along the way. That experience is being brought back to her students.

“I am going to be using some of the historical information, as well as some of the art techniques, in a collaboration between myself, my sculpture students and French students. We’ll then create art work for permanent display at CCA,” said Limbach. Envision coordinator and vocal music coordinator Anne Whatoff performs with the St. Paul’s Episcopal Cathedral Choir, Bach Collegium San Diego, and the New South Coast Chamber Choir. “To be involved in our outside pursuits helps keep us fresh in our art and constantly learning new things,” said Whattoff. Students benefit from this renewal as these ideas are then shared with them. “And while our teachers are out in the community, they are also outreaching to other artists,” Whattoff said. “In this way, they can be exposed to professionals who could potentially join CAA as visiting artists.”

Miracle League of San Diego honors graduating seniors for volunteer work The Miracle League of San Diego recently awarded scholarships to seven local students recognizing their exceptional service to special- needs athletes. All seven graduating seniors were awarded the Outstanding Service Award for their leadership skills on and off the field, and their commitment to Miracle League. The Miracle League of San Diego provides the opportunity for special-needs children to experience the fun of playing organized baseball at two locations in San Diego County: Engel Family Field, a Little Padres Park, at San Dieguito Park in Solana Beach, and Coronado Green Field at Coronado High School in Coronado. Students and adults serve as coaches and buddies, assisting the athletes in the dugout, around the field and at bat. Recipients for the Outstanding Service Award are Olivia Angelino, Jordan Engel, Ari Lew, Jamie MacDonald, Ethan Rappaport, John Schade and Molly Stead. In addition to the award plaque, each of the Miracle League scholarship recipients received a $250 check. Olivia Angelino is a senior at Coronado High School. She has been a buddy for Steven Dixon and Camden Hauer at Green Field since spring 2013. Jordan Engel, a senior at Canyon Crest Academy, has been a buddy for each of the Miracle League’s 16 seasons, all but two with Jenny Wolford, with the exception of one year when Jenny moved to Texas and Jordan buddied for another player. She volunteers after school at Solana Highlands as an aid in the Learning Center, in a kindergarten room and with the reading coach. Ari Lew has been a buddy for five years and on the Rays team for 8 seasons. Not only has Ari committed himself to countless Saturdays with MLSD, he has also started and runs an Organization called Orphanages in Tijuana.

Education Matters/Opinion San Dieguito enrollment study group formed, facilitator chosen BY MARSHA SUTTON Vocal community dissatisfaction with San DieguiMarsha Sutton to Union H i g h School District policies on enrollment and attendance boundaries last spring has led the district to create a task force to explore the issue – and to select a facilitator for the group who charges $350 an hour. The task force, officially called the High School Enrollment Study Group, grew out of objections earlier this year to the lottery system SDUHSD uses to allow admittance to the district’s two “open enrollment” high schools – San Dieguito Academy and Canyon Crest Academy. Called “schools of choice” by SDUHSD, these two high schools are open to any student in the district. The other two comprehensive high schools are called boundary schools; students in the northern half of the district are assigned to La Costa Canyon and in the south to Torrey Pines, unless

the student chooses to apply to one of the academies. If more applications are received for the academies than there are seats available, a random lottery system is used to select the lucky winners. Students not selected are guaranteed a seat at either LCC or TP. Dozens of parents, mostly from Cardiff and Encinitas, united and asked the district to re-examine its enrollment policies and give priority to students living near SDA. They made a compelling case for neighborhood schools. The uproar caused the district to reverse its previous policy that denied entry to all waitlisted ninth-graders, admitting 65 students at SDA and 125 at CCA this fall. Because of the growing popularity of the two academies, and because the lottery system was established 18 years ago, San Dieguito administrators decided the time had come to re-evaluate their enrollment and boundary policies. Thus the study group. Although some questioned the need for such a group, believing district staff should research the issue

and present options to the school board, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of educational services Mike Grove said community involvement was crucial. Without the group or the facilitator, he said the public might think the district was pushing its own agenda. “There are some members of the community who don’t trust this is going to be a fair and impartial process,” Grove said. “I think we have an obligation to ask the community what do you want,” he said. “We’ve had this system for almost 20 years … and this is a pretty significant change that would impact a lot of people.” Furthermore, Grove said the group will not be making recommendations or voting on the best options. It is unreasonable, he said, to expect the group to reach consensus when there are so many varied opinions. Rather, the goal is “to gather information so the board can make the decision,” he said. “It’s not this group’s job to make this decision,” he said. “It’s the board’s job to make this decision. But the

board also needs to make that decision with good information.” Grove said the group will hear from demographics and enrollment experts, collect information, and discuss options in detail. He anticipated participants will eventually come up with two to four options, with pros and cons for each, which will be presented to the school board. He said he was unable to predict how long the process would take but did not expect any changes sooner than the fall of 2016. Facilitator The facilitator selected to lead this effort, Leonard Steinberg of the Creative Alliance Group of Encinitas, confirmed Grove’s statements, saying, “We don’t vote on anything. We also don’t prioritize the options.” Steinberg emphasized that this is not a task force, which examines issues and comes up with solutions, but rather a working study group. He said the group will listen to experts, then break out into smaller working sessions, develop options that meet legal constraints, list benefits and drawbacks

of each option, create action plans that address how to implement the options, and then present everything to the school board for trustees to debate and decide upon. Along the way, Steinberg said the study group will hold town hall meetings with the public to explain the information gathered, update the community on progress, and hear feedback. Steinberg and his wife are listed as the principals of the company and are the only two employees. Steinberg’s rate of $350 per hour, which will be paid through the General Fund, was justified by SDUHSD’s Grove who said no work will be done without his prior approval for each specific task. Grove said if he were to lead the meetings, the perception might be that the outcome would be biased “because I work for the district.” Also, he said it would “preclude me from actually participating in the meetings as the representative of the district.” He said he and SDUHSD superintendent Rick Schmitt interviewed Steinberg at length, have been very satisfied with his previous work in the district, and felt comfortable with both his ability and his hourly rate. “He has the skills we be-

lieve to be a good facilitator based on our past experience with him,” Grove said. The contract with Steinberg’s company was approved by the school board at its Oct. 2 meeting by a vote of 4 to 1, with board member John Salazar opposed. Concerned the contract looks like a blank check, Salazar asked his fellow board members to at least approve a cap on expenses for the open-ended contract, which was rejected. “I asked for us to add a ‘not to exceed amount’ – they all said no,” Salazar wrote in an email. He said the other four board members “then went on to vote yes” for the contract. “I think something is wrong with that.” Grove said a dollar limit in the contract might end a process that’s not done and then he’d need to ask for more money. Also, when a not-to-exceed amount is included in contracts, Grove said consultants tend to bill up to that amount. He said the contract is structured in such a way that Steinberg “doesn’t bill any hours unless I direct it.” “The prep will be done with me,” Grove said. “We’re going to plan this See EDUCATION, page 29

TPHS freshmen launch sack attack on Oceanside, win 35-20 BY WALTER BAYS The 5-1 Oceanside Pirates visited Torrey Pines to play the 6-0 Falcons, and Torrey Pines won 35-20. In the first quarter, Oceanside was held to one first down and 30 yards of offense in unofficial stats. Spencer Grant, Louis Bicket and Ethan Choi each made tackles in the backfield. Beau Morgans and Connor Munoz each deflected passes. Although the Falcons made no first downs, they scored two touchdowns on a 37-yard run by Sully O’Brien and a TPHS player Louis Bickett sacks the quarterback. 53-yard run by Zack Friedland. The second quarter was a field-position duel in Oceanside territory. Oceanside had 85 yards of offense to Torrey Pines’ 50 yards. But after an Oceanside punt from their own 17, the Falcons started at the Pirate 26. After Jack Nelson ran for a first down, the Falcons came back to him with a halfback pass from Beau Morgans for the touchdown. Torrey Pines kept defensive pressure with sacks by Bickett and Grant. But outstanding scrambling ability by Pirate quarterback Jacob Bernard yielded a 49-yard completion to set up Oceanside’s first score. A 57-yard kickoff return by O’Brien put the Falcons on Oceanside’s 24, where Chris Temby threw a touchdown pass to O’Brien, 28-6. The Falcons drove 57 yards on running by Nelson, O’Brien, and Friedland to make the score 35-6. Oceanside was held to one yard of offense in the third quarter. Sacks by Grant and Michael Perrone put the Pirates into fourth and 37 from their own 11. The Falcons drove downfield, with Morgans picking up two first downs, including one set up with a fake by Temby, whom everyone, including the Pirates, thought still had the ball. Oceanside had to play catch-up. Evan Kim sacked Bernard on a fourth-down attempt for a turnover on downs to start Torrey Pines at the Oceanside 47 to open the fourth quarter. Falcon coach Tim Staycer moved down his depth chart, giving many players playing time against a tough Oceanside team that would not surrender. Quarterback Ethan Deller and running back Ben Simsiman showed poise under fierce Pirate defensive pressure, not making many yards but using up the clock. Christopher Shimek made two solid tackles, and Cole Mihalinec and DJ Younkin each deflected Pirate passes. Oceanside managed two more touchdowns for a final score of 35-20. On Oct. 23, Oceanside plays at Carlsbad while Torrey Pines hosts El Camino.

those sorts of opportunities for the district to communicate directly with parents are invaluable. But I feel it is not necessary to characterize the school choice issue as either we have choice or we have boundaries. That limited, two-sided view is polarizing the situation and now requires a facilitator to solve. You can have both. Students who are in the Torrey Pines boundary area, for example, can still choose to attend whatever school in the district they want. If there is no room at the school they choose, then their default is to attend the school closest to them, which is Torrey Pines. That is all that the parents who live near San Dieguito Academy are asking for. If they don’t get into their first-choice school, let their default school be the one closest to them. If the district draws boundaries, it does not mean that every student must go to their boundary school. It does not mean the lottery or choice process has to stop. That would be sad if it were the case, because our district prides itself on the unique school environments available to their students. I have three kids and I could very easily see them attending three different schools. The district can draw boundaries and then proceed with the system as it is now. Keep the lottery in place and use the inter-district transfer process (as is done with the middle schools) to allow students to choose their schools. Only on the rare occasions (according to the district’s own statistics) when demand exceeds capacity will geography come into play, allowing priority for those students within the boundary of the school to attend first, and then admitting others if there is room. I look forward to the task force examination of the issue. I believe there is a solution that will preserve the character of the district and offer true choice. Rimga Viskanta

Planning Commission members ‘run for cover’ A second letter in two weeks is over the top, but something must be said regarding the disgraceful result of the Planning Commission hearings on One Paseo. Each of them accepted their appointment understanding it was their job to make decisions on property development in the city of San Diego. They have no trouble deciding whether a proposed apartment building in an obscure section of the city should be 30 feet or 33 feet high. No sir. We step up to our public responsibilities. But when it comes to a major project that has been in the public eye for years and is fueled by tens of millions of dollars of developer money on the one side and thousands of citizen voices on the other, they can’t decide. Nonsense. The truth of the matter is, they can’t stand the heat. On the one side are their city planning buddies, the trade unions and their developer friends, and on the other, a multitude of outraged citizens. Either way they vote, they come under withering fire from the losers. So what do they do? They run for cover, they hide, they walk away. Nothing good can be said about this group of spineless public servants other than that they subscribe to the same mantra as many of our elected officials: “Public be damned, watch out for number one.” Patrick Stewart

Blackmail At the Oct. 2 meeting of the San Diego Planning Commission where public testimony was taken on the One Paseo project, I asked, “Why approve a project which increases traffic in a time when we need to reduce it?” I was thinking not only of the Mayor’s Climate Action plan, which will require a reduction of Vehicle Miles Traveled, but also the long-standing City of Villages philosophy of the City’s General Plan, a philosophy designed to allow greater population density without more cars. At the Oct. 16 Planning Commission meeting, I got the answer. Any reduction in the project size — the only dependable way to reduce traffic — would require a new environmental analysis. Kilroy vowed that before it produced any such further analysis, it will just give us 500,000 square feet of office space and call it a day. I say that’s blackmail. I further say that our city-appointed and elected advisory agencies, the Development Services Department, the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board, and the San Diego Planning Commission, have done us a serious disservice by allowing this project to go before the City Council with no analysis of a smaller and entirely more acceptable project, and no indication of Kilroy’s intransigence.

Be someone’s hero: If you don’t already know CPR, get trained, then sign up for new lifesaving app BY MICHAEL MURPHY Want to save someone’s life? Well, now there’s an app for that. Thanks to a partnership between the county and city of San Diego, as well as emergency responders — including American Medical Response — a new app is now available to San Diego County residents that will undoubtedly save lives, perhaps that of someone you know. The app, known as PulsePoint, is designed to help keep alive those who suffer a cardiac emergency. Here’s how it works: Have you ever been to a restaurant or somewhere else, and you hear a siren off in the distance, and then it gets louder and louder, closer and closer, and then you see an ambulance pull up outside? Oftentimes, paramedics are responding to someone who’s gone into cardiac arrest. But many times, there are people nearby across the street or next door who are trained in CPR, but are unaware of the emergency and unable to help. Using the PulsePoint app, which features the latest GPS technology, 9-1-1 dipatchers will now be able to send a text message to citizens who are trained in CPR of a nearby cardiac emergency at the same time they dispatch an ambulance. Anyone who signs up for the app and receives the notification will be able to respond quickly and begin administering the lifesaving technique, keeping the victim’s heart beating until paramedics arrive. Without question, those first few minutes after someone goes into cardiac arrest are critical: A person’s chance of survival skyrockets when CPR is administered right then and there. In fact, administering CPR almost triples the chances of survival. Unfortunately, only 32 percent of cardiac arrest victims receive CPR. So sadly, only 8 percent of cardiac arrest victims will survive. This app will undoubtedly improve these numbers. Our message is clear: Get trained in CPR, sign up for the PulsePoint app, and be a hero. AMR offers free CPR training year-round. It’s easy to learn and takes only about 15 minutes. For information about our training, go to amr-sandiego.com. Once you’re trained, you can sign up for the PulsePoint app by going to pulsepoint.org. This is just one way we as a community are working together to save lives in San Diego County. Please get trained in CPR and sign up for the PulsePoint app today. Murphy is general manager of American Medical Response in San Diego and Orange counties.

Patriotism is in my DNA BY SUPERVISOR DAVE ROBERTS About a year ago, I told members of the Escondido Rotary Club that I was a 11thgeneration American, a descendant of English immigrants who crossed the Atlantic in the early 1600s in search of better lives. After my speech, a cheerful Rotarian asked whether the name Samuel Roberts meant anything to me. He was one of my great-grandparents, I said. He lived in the colony of Connecticut in the mid-1600s and was a politically connected patriot. The Rotarian, a community volunteer named Arlene Schuster, said she, too, was related to Samuel Roberts. Thus began a great friendship with my eighth cousin.

Dave Roberts Among other interests, Arlene is a skilled detective of our family’s genealogy. She told me she happened to be investigating the Roberts branch of her family tree when I met her at the Rotary lunSee PATRIOTISM, page 30

ONE PASEO continued from page 1

“bulletproof,” as the EIR statement is required to approve any project that has significant and unmitigable impacts. Commission Chair Tim Golba said none of the five commissioners would say that One Paseo isn’t a good project, but they have to convincingly justify taking the leap of approving a 1.5-million-square-foot mixed-use development over the 510,000 square feet of office that the patch of land on El Camino Real and Del Mar Heights Road is entitled to. During the commission’s three hours of deliberation, there was much discussion of how One Paseo fits or doesn’t fit into San Diego’s “City of Villages” smart-growth strategy in the General Plan, which seeks to create villages that are compact and walkable with a mix of uses and a focus on transportation networks. Commissioner Theresa Quiroz said she feels the vacant Carmel Valley lot is the perfect place to put their “city of villages” strategy to work. “I find that there are so many community benefits that outweigh many of the problems that I can see,” Quiroz said, ticking off benefits such as new jobs, $6 million in street improvements, $23 million in developer fees, future transit plans, “more parking than actually needed,” and lowercost housing. Quiroz said the project meets the bulk of what the city’s conservation element said it should be doing, which a lot of projects do not do. “The community benefits vastly outweigh the traffic. It’s rare that we see a project that so clearly implements our General Plan. This is what our General Plan is looking for,” Quiroz said. Golba was not as convinced after hearing hours of testimony on Oct. 2 from residents who said they opposed the project for its significant impacts to community character and traffic. “If this project had transit, like light rail, this would be on consent,” Golba said. “Can we really consider this a ‘city of villages’ project or ‘smart growth’ when it’s void of essentially any transit system? That’s the $64,000 question. I have a tough time with that.” Golba said projects like UTC were “littered and peppered” with transit, which made them easier to approve. Nancy Bragado, deputy director of long-range planning, said that the lack of public transit is a serious issue with the “city of villages” strategy, but because One Paseo has future

planned transit, a transportation demand management program and a shuttle system “stop gap,” city staff felt that, overall, they could support the project. Golba said he remained uncomfortable with the bulk and scale of One Paseo. The commission had asked Kilroy for more renderings of what the office buildings would look like, requesting “unflattering directions.” Those shown of the nine stories over El Camino Real and seen from Del Mar Heights Road were effectively not flattering, Golba said, noting that he understood why they were not included in the initial presentation. “They do present a different character to it,” he said. “These are big buildings.” Golba said the architectural concept overall of One Paseo is “spectacular,” but it is too big a leap for him from what is in the community plan. Representing Kilroy, Marcela Escobar-Eck said that Kilroy would be willing to work with lowering the building heights as a condition of the project’s approval. She said they could drop the heights 10 to 20 feet, but they need to maintain the employment mass. “Bear in mind that unless the bulk and scale is there, transit will never go there,” Quiroz said. “We can’t say not to build a ‘city of villages’ because there’s no transit. At some point, we have to take that leap and build the density that will bring the transit.” Commissioner James Whalen said that, generally, he likes the project and finds it beautiful to look at, but his biggest concern is the traffic. He noted that if what they heard in the public testimony on Oct. 2 is true — that traffic is already a nightmare without the project and that with it, there will be queuing all the way down Del Mar Heights Road to Lansdale Drive — then it is not going to be successful. “The transportation demand management plan needs to be a lot more robust,” he said. Whalen said the latest thinking regarding transportation demand is moving away from carpools to more sophisticated models, such as the Uber ridesharing program that he uses three times a week so he doesn’t need his car. Ann French Gonzalves, the city’s senior traffic engineer, said they do see the adapted signal control system proposed by Kilroy as being a benefit to traffic flow. Kilroy is predicting 13 to 29 percent improvement in travel times along Del Mar Heights Road and a 29

to 46 percent improvement in stopped time. Escobar-Eck said as part of Kilroy’s transportation demand program, they are willing to expand their shuttle service from morning and afternoon peaks to include lunch hours, and they are planning for ride-sharing services such as Car2Go and Zip Car on site. Kilroy’s plan includes bike lockers, electrical charging stations and priority parking spaces for ride sharing. Golba voiced concern about Kilroy’s Memorandum of Agreement with Caltrans on transportation improvements and how binding it really is. “I don’t want to be sold on a fancy ‘Star Wars’ signalization, and it’s just yellow paint on the road,” he said. Jeff Chine, the land use attorney representing Kilroy, said the city is not a party to the contract so the city cannot enforce it. But he assured the commission that the memorandum of understanding does have teeth and is a binding agreement. Kilroy has pledged $1.5 million to Caltrans in excess of its fair-share contribution, and the MOU states that if certain improvements aren’t completed in seven years, the money does not go back to Kilroy but to other transportation improvements in Carmel Valley. Golba said he also struggles with the enormous gap in some of the traffic improvements needed to mitigate the project, such as the SR-56 widening that is targeted for 2038-40. “We’re really betting on something way down the road, and my question is, what happens to the community in the interim?” Golba asked. Regarding traffic concerns, Commission Vice Chair Stephen Haase said with the passage of Senate Bill 743, the state will no longer use a road’s Level of Service to determine traffic impacts. Instead it will focus on Vehicle Miles Traveled. VMT looks at whether a project contributes to the state’s goals to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and “combat climate change” by reducing miles driven, Haase said. “I do believe that this project will reduce vehicle miles traveled in this community, but I don’t have any facts to support that claim; it’s more of a conclusion than a fact,” he said. Commissioner Anthony Wagner also brought up neighboring Torrey Pines residents’ concerns about emergency services and response times. San Diego Fire Assistant Chief Ken Barnes said the number of residential units added does not add to the number of calls in an area;

he said the issue is always more about response times. “Response times are not what we want them to be throughout the city,” he said. Barnes said Kilroy’s installation of the adaptive control system, which has provisions for emergency vehicles, has removed any concerns they have about the project. Wagner then asked the chief how much of the $23 million in developer fees from One Paseo is going to the fire department. Escobar-Eck said the fees are blended, so there is not a specific number for the fire department, but she said that Kilroy would be equipping trucks in Carmel Valley and surrounding areas with additional technology to pre-empt signals in a better way. As the city and state grapple with severe drought, Quiroz said that they need to be assured that every single drop of water used on One Paseo is necessary. The commission also wanted assurances that the project would adhere to the state’s new stormwater regulations, which have yet to take effect. Haase said they heard from the developer that they plan to capture water and “let it dribble out” — they would rather see gray water be re-treated and used for landscaping. John Leppert, an engineer with Leppert Engineering Corporation, said that they could modify the design to increase on-site water storage cisterns, and that they would comply with the new regulations. During the three-hour session, Wagner made an attempt for a further-reduced One Paseo. Wagner said he faced a “greater good” dilemma with the project — he is concerned about the impacts, but also with what would be best for the city of San Diego. He said the project falls in line with the “city of villages” strategy, which includes moving away from urban sprawl. Wagner said they have to create projects in the city in the 2050 image. He said by 2050, San Diego is expected to grow in population by 1.2 million. The city needs to complement the growth with 1.1 million more jobs and an 81 percent increase in multifamily dwellings — he said the city doesn’t have the luxury to hold off on that. Wagner said the project is not a “disastrous monster of developer greed,” but rather it’s a responsibly placed project to provide more jobs and housing for San Diego, and that the significant impacts are just the unfortunate reality of dealing with 2050 growth.

In an attempt to reduce average daily trips, Wagner made a motion for a reduced One Paseo, cutting the retail in half but leaving the bulk and scale — proposing that the 100,000 square feet of retail be converted to commercial or residential use. Wagner acknowledged that this proposal would require an additional Environmental Impact Report. “I don’t think I can support that motion, because it fundamentally changes the project,” Haase said. “I tend to think that the retail is more important than the office to make the project work,” Whalen said. “The Carmel Valley planning board kept the retail at the full level, which is meaningful.” The motion failed 4-1.

COSTS

continued from page 1

Estimated at $12.4 million, option B includes the city hall, town hall and plaza but with 160 parking spaces (only 51 stalls are required). Option C2, which is estimated at almost $11.4 million in net costs, features the basic buildings, plus 3,400 square feet of commercial space and 160 spaces. Option D also features the basic buildings and 3,400 square feet of commercial space, as well as four singlefamily residential units with garages and a total of 204 spaces. If the city leases the homes, the option would cost an estimated $13 million. That figure would decrease to $10.6 million if Del Mar sells the homes. In addition to the three options by Carrier Johnson Architects, locals Jim Watkins and Kit Leeger will present the concept they voluntarily created during the Oct. 27 workshop. Like the other options, the concept by the fatherdaughter duo proposes a 15,000-square-foot plaza. Unlike the concepts by Carrier Johnson Architects, however, the pair’s option features a smaller city hall and slightly larger town hall at 8,450 square feet and 3,788 square feet, respectively. Estimated at almost $9.3 million in net costs, their concept also features much more commercial space at 9,250 square feet, six townhomes and 168 parking stalls, with all but four of the spaces required parking. Deputy Mayor Al Corti pointed out that other than option B, all of the concepts fall under Measure B. Enacted by Del Mar voters in 1986, Measure B requires public input and voter approval for properties in the downtown commercial district larger than 25,000 square feet in area or with more than 11,500 square feet of development area. “In evaluating the op-

tions — which one do I like best — what is the impact of going through Measure B?” he asked. Kathleen Garcia, the city’s planning and community development director, noted that going through the Measure B process would increase costs and extend the timeframe. She estimated it would take an additional year to 18 months — or even longer — for the city to prepare a specific plan and hold an election. After hearing this, council members briefly talked about the possibility of doing a phased project and requested staff to share additional costs and timelines for the concepts that would trigger Measure B during the workshop. “We’ve all talked for a year that we want to give our employees a new city hall,” Mayor Lee Haydu said. “But if we’re going to add all those other factors to it, and it’s going to be another two or three years, that may be a reason to choose a different option.” In addition, Councilman Terry Sinnott recommended staff prepare a handout that highlights the differences of the concepts for attendees. He also suggested community members fill out a comment card to share which concept is their favorite and why. “I’m afraid we’re going to have a lot of discussion at the workshop and then everybody gets up and leaves,” Sinnott said. “Then we’re in deep trouble because we haven’t captured the essence of what the majority of the folks were thinking.” The Oct. 27 workshop will begin at 6 p.m. at the Del Mar Communications Center, 240 10th Street. City staff will present the workshop findings to the council on Nov. 17. For more information, call 858-755-9313 or visit www.delmar.ca.us/cityhall.

EDUCATION continued from page 22 process out together.” He said this was not just out of fiscal concerns but to avoid the perception that Grove is “running the show or trying to shepherd it in a particular direction” – or that Steinberg is. “He doesn’t do any work unless I say so,” Grove said, adding that his staff will do all the research and preparation of materials. “What I really need him for is to give some input on the planning of the meetings and then to run the meetings,” Grove said. No apologies To compare fees, an attorney for the district, Daniel Shinoff of Stutz Artiano Shinoff & Holtz, charges $200 an hour, and a contract was approved on Oct. 2 for a Ph.D. psychologist for $150 per hour for neuropsychological and behavioral assessments. The San Diego County Office of Education offers facilitators at no charge who have extensive experience leading task forces and strategic planning sessions for San Diego County school districts. In a letter to all five SDUHSD trustees, Encinitas resident Danica Edelbrock objected to the $350 rate,

saying San Diego companies like the National Conflict Resolution Center can do good work for a lower rate. “I feel that you probably could have even recruited someone from the community who would have volunteered to do this for free,” Edelbrock wrote. Steinberg, however, offered no apologies. “These are what my fees are,” he said. “I don’t know how you want me to justify those fees. I don’t exactly know why I need to justify those fees.” He said his company specializes in working with public agencies, providing a variety of different services in the construction and community development sectors. “That’s what I do for a living,” he said. “That’s what I’ve been doing for many, many years.” The contract approved by the school board states that Creative Alliance Group will “provide assistance with the creation and implementation of the high school enrollment study group, establishing a collaborative environment between the district and the community, and facilitating and coordinating with all parties regarding attendance boundary areas and school enrollment, during the period Oc-

tober 3, 2014 until project completion or termination by either party with 30-day written notice, at the rate of $350.00 per hour plus out of pocket expenses, to be expended from the General Fund 03.” Edelbrock, in her letter, asked trustees to state how much money has been allocated in total for the contract. The total amount is unknown, said Grove, who called the contract “pretty standard” and said any arbitrary number would be difficult to estimate. “I don’t know how long this is going to take or exactly how many hours I’m going to have him do work for us,” Grove said. “I don’t know. We’ve not done this before.” Grove said he didn’t “even know how to predict how many meetings we’re going to have. What I don’t want to do is rush this process.” I asked Grove if bids had been solicited for this contract, and he said that professional services don’t typically go out for bid – “especially ones that aren’t going to be hundreds of thousands of dollars.” He also added that contracts that go out for bid can take months before vendors reply, are reviewed, and selected.

Conflict of interest? Cost is not the only concern. Because Steinberg’s two children currently attend San Dieguito Academy, the perception of a conflict of interest exists and some have questioned Steinberg’s objectivity. “We are all well aware that there are multiple other options for mediation that would not have introduced such clear bias to the process,” wrote Encinitas resident Lisa Koch-Hulle to trustees. “It is my sincere hope that you reconsider this contract, as the result of any mediation from a clearly conflicted person will certainly and rightly be questioned, making the effort doomed from the start.” In her letter to board members, Edelbrock echoed these concerns. “This person is supposed to be unbiased,” Edelbrock wrote. “Did Dr. Grove mention to you that this man lives in La Costa and his children attend SDA? If he offered this information, then I question your judgment to approve this.” “Rick [Schmitt] and I both interviewed him and that was one of the first questions I asked,” Grove said. He said Steinberg told

them he was objective and that his children would be unaffected by any decision. “He has no dog in the fight,” Grove said. “He doesn’t care what the outcome is.” Steinberg couldn’t remember if either of his children were on a waitlist to get into SDA but said LCC would have been fine if they had not been admitted to SDA. He does not live within walking distance of either school. “When people say I can’t be objective, they don’t know my background,” he said. “I’ve had some experience in the past with this district on a boundary school issue.” Steinberg is referring to his battle with the school district more than seven years ago, over San Dieguito’s decision not to build a middle school in his neighborhood in La Costa Valley. Even though his school had not been built yet, he said it was the “same basic concept” – the importance of children attending a neighborhood school. “I really understand where these folks are coming from,” he said. Grove said Steinberg is an excellent choice for a facilitator not in spite of but because he struggled with the district on similar issues

Join Freedom Frontline for an Informative Evening

in the past. “He has no problem taking the district on, as he’s demonstrated,” Grove said. “I think that gives legitimacy to the fact that he’s not going to be a district yes-man on any of this.” Grove added that Steinberg’s experience in the past means he has the knowledge and context of the boundary and enrollment issues the district is wrestling with. “There’s value in having someone who understands it rather than just hiring some random facilitator from outside the district who would come in and wouldn’t necessarily understand the community and the issues,” Grove said. “I’ve been involved for many, many years with this district,” Steinberg said. “I understand there’s a tremendous amount of passion around this issue.” Steinberg said the charge of bias is unfounded also because the study group will not vote or make recommendations. “We are simply coming up with ideas and options and exploring how those options can be put into play,” he said.

PATRIOTISM continued from page 26 cheon. Since then, we have talked often about our common bloodlines and the latest findings of her research. Earlier this month, as part of my semi-annual trip to visit my parents, the two of us met in Connecticut for some in-person sleuthing. We spent many hours exploring cemeteries in Windsor, Hartford and Middletown. We took notes and photographed the headstones of our forefathers. To gain access to the Riverside Cemetery in Middletown, our first stop was at the larger Union Hill Cemetery, where the keeper sent us to a fire station to ask for the key. We did that.

EDUCATION continued from page 29 An email soliciting applications was sent to every parent in the district in September, and Grove said 16 parents were selected to serve on the study group, out of 104 applicants. Grove and Steinberg sorted through the applications, seeking input from SDUHSD site administrators as well as feeder districts. Board members were not involved in the selection process, Grove said. The questionnaire was extensive, asking about their interest in joining the group, prior relevant experience or skills, opinions on the issues, involvement in other school groups or activities, and availability to meet during day and evening hours. Grove said they wanted a mix of members who supported boundaries and those who didn’t. Besides diversity

tending to a newly seeded lawn. Riverside Cemetery — like so many others throughout New England — is a point of pride for the community and is very well-kept, even though a railroad crosses right through it. In short order, we confirmed that between the two of us, nine of our greatgrandfathers were interred at the Riverside Cemetery. We also confirmed that at least 20 of my direct antecedents served in the Revolutionary War. Their ranks ranged from privates to generals. I have clear memories of my grandparents holding elected office when I was a boy. With Arlene’s help, I discovered that politics run much further through my family tree. One of our great-grandfathers served as the first colonial governor of Connecticut. Later, a second greatgrandfather held the same position.

Arlene’s earlier research proved that one of our antecedents, Oliver Walcott, signed the Declaration of Independence. Other relatives had served as cabinet members to early presidents of the republic. Members of the Roberts line were founders of towns. They served as magistrates and held other important positions. “Our ancestors were distinguished people all the way back,” Arlene said. “I didn’t find any murderers.” That’s good to know! Earlier this year, I was proud to be inducted officially as a Son of the American Revolution. I love my country. I often feel as if patriotism is stamped into my genes. With Arlene’s help, I can now say proudly that that is the case. Dave Roberts represents the Third District on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

Anlin Zhang tied for 21st place, and Danile Wang placed 25th. In the 10th-grade division, Varkey Alumootil placed seventh and Yan Tao was 16th. In the 11th-grade division, Eshaan Nichani placed fourth, Tristan Pollner was

eighth, and Zilu Pan placed 21st. Canyon Crest Academy will be participating in all four NA&T contests this year, including the 2014 Team Scramble on Nov. 6 and the 2014 Ciphering Time Trials on Dec. 11.

in positions on the issues, they sought geographic representation from communities throughout the district and parents with kids of varying ages. In addition to the 16 parents, the study group will include eight certificated staff members (teachers and counselors) – two from each of the four comprehensive high schools. Interested teachers and counselors were invited to apply and were chosen by Grove and each site’s principal. The goal was to select people with diverse perspectives as well as those who work well in a group. Also serving on the study group are two principals (David Jaffe from Torrey Pines and Tim Hornig from San Dieguito Academy), Grove, and another district administrator who oversees enrollment projections. In addition, two students from each comprehen-

sive high school were recruited and selected by the high school principals. That makes 36 members total. Grove said he would not release the names of the study group members until after the first meeting on Nov. 12. Because “there is already significant misinformation about this topic,” Grove said he first wants to make sure “that all participants are clear on some basic information regarding high school enrollment, the group’s purpose, and their role in it.” The dates of the meetings will also not be made public, but information will be posted periodically and open forums will be held to allow the group to share information with the community and seek public input.

ions across the map about what the district should do, he said. “We selected people with a variety of perspectives because that is the intent, to make sure all the voices are heard,” Grove said. Staff members and students are also on the committee, including those who

did not get into their school choice. The group will look at all the potential ways SDUHSD can enroll students in its schools, seek input from the community on the options, and present options and information to the school board to make a decision.

Disabilities no hurdle for Del Mar family of athletes • Couple and their 16-year-old twins with cerebral palsy tackle San Diego Triathlon Challenge BY PAM KRAGEN, SPECIAL TO THE DEL MAR TIMES, CARMEL VALLEY NEWS, SOLANA BEACH SUN When Jim Pathman found out in 1998 that his wife, Lisa, was expecting twins, he bought a matching pair of Schwinn bikes so the boys could one day join their hyper-athletic parents in their shared passion for outdoor sports. Seventeen years later, those bikes are still in their boxes, because twins Shane and Riley were born with cerebral palsy. But as Jim would say, when there’s a Pathman will, there’s a Pathman way. And on Sunday, Oct. 19, the active family of four achieved their dream of completing a triathlon in La Jolla. “We did great and although we were some of the last finishers, we made it through as a family,” Lisa said. Since their boys were 4 years old, the Del Mar couple have used adapted cycles and seats, walkers, braces, carts, walking sticks, skis and bodyboards to involve their now-16-year-old twins in marathons, triathlons, downhill skiing, horseback riding, swimming, long-distance biking, hang gliding and even white-water rafting. Pathman, 50, said all it takes is a little imagination to achieve the active family lifestyle that he and Lisa, 48, describe as “the Pathman normal.” With two teams of volunteers and some adaptations, the Pathman family swam 1 mile, ran 10 miles and cycled 44 miles in the Aspen Medical Products San Diego Triathlon Challenge.

The race is expected to raise more than $1 million for the Challenged Athletes Foundation, which has worked with the family for the past 12 years to help them realize their sports goals. Foundation marketing director Jenna Novotny said the Pathmans are an inspiration to others around the country. “They’re a very special family who have taken it above and beyond and done so much,” she said. “Other families, who may never have envisioned what’s possible, see what they do, and how nothing stops them, and it gives them the inspiration to try.” Jim and Lisa met in 1991 while bicycling on the boardwalk near their Mission Beach apartments. He surfed and was a competitive waterskiier. She was an all-CIF soccer player and competitive wakeboarder. They both biked every day, and couldn’t wait to bring their kids along for the ride. But the twins arrived 14 weeks premature, each weighing just 1 pound, 9 ounces. Shane, older by 21 minutes, had bleeding in his brain that caused physical and neurological issues. Riley had a brain infection that caused physical, neurological and mental disabilities. The twins stayed in the neonatal intensive care unit for 3 1/2 months, and when they went home, their immune systems were so compromised, they couldn’t go out in public for two years. “We went through a lot of trauma in the first few years, first because of the birth and then the realiza-

tion of how it would affect everyone’s lives,” said Lisa, who teaches elementary school. The first glimmer of normalcy came when the boys were a year old, and a friend offered the family a three-week vacation in his villa on a tiny French resort island. To get around the car-free island, Jim devised a bicycle trailer to tow the boys around. A year later, the boys coasted down a ski slope at Big Bear on an adapted sled. “Jim was crying when he saw the boys skiing; it was a big turning point for us,” Lisa said. If he couldn’t find an adaptive device to get his sons outdoors, Jim made it himself at the tool bench in his garage. But almost every time the couple tried to enter bike and foot races with the boys, organizers turned them away. “People kept telling us we couldn’t do things. It was always a fight,” said Jim, who runs an Internet hosting company. That changed in 2002, when the family attended their first Challenged Athletes Foundation triathlon and 4-year-old Shane was able to complete a short run for athletes with disabilities. “Nobody said, ‘No, you can’t do that.’ It was the first place where they said, ‘Yes, we will help you figure out how to make this work,’” Lisa said. “It was refreshing to meet people with the same mindset.” Encouraged, Jim bought jogging strollers, tandem bikes and tow trailers, and the family was soon off and running. The couple created a Facebook page, “Team

Photo courtesy of UT San Diego Pathman,” to chronicle the hundreds of sporting pursuits they’ve accomplished since then with the boys, who are now sophomores at Torrey Pines High. Over the years, Jim and Riley have completed eight marathons together as well as more than 50 local 5K, 10K and other races. At their home, Riley proudly showed a visitor dozens of finisher medals he’d collected from various races, as well as a sign over his bed with his favorite words — “swim. bike. run.” — the three components of a triathlon. Meanwhile, in the living room, Shane excitedly peppered the foundation’s Novotny with dozens of questions about Sunday’s race. Virtually every year, the family has returned to the Triathlon Challenge, pushing themselves a little harder each time. Last year, the twins did the full 10-mile run

(pushed in jogging strollers by Jim and his friend, Joe Virgilio), 9 miles of the 44-mile bike ride (on tandem bikes with Jim and Lisa), and half of the 1-mile swim (pulled on bodyboards by Jim and Virgilio). This year’s goal was to complete the full course, with help from Virgilio and volunteers from Team Hoyt San Diego and the November Project. The next big family goal is to complete the Boston Marathon after the boys turn 18. See ATHLETES, page B22

Art viewers on display in CCA’s upcoming production of ‘Museum’

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DIANE Y. WELCH If modern art has you baffled, the play “Museum” by Tina Howe, opening Nov. 7 at the Proscenium Theatre at Canyon Crest Academy, will make it crystal clear. But rather than gaining clarity about fine art, it’s the wacky characters viewing the art who are truly the exhibits. And it’s a plot that will make it hard not to laugh throughout the entire production, said cast member Brooke Patterson. The comedic play takes place on the last day of a fictitious art show, “The Broken Silence,” in a New York museum. Its title represents the snippets of chatter that the audience overhears as people pass through the exhibition and make comments. This commentary introduces “humans that we know very little about,” said Jason Maddy, the play’s director, one of CCA’s professional visiting artists. “They are much like people we pass on the street or at Starbucks, living their lives in the presence of art. And along the way, we get to laugh.” Howe’s interpretation of this melting pot of characters, from the often-lofty aficionados who view and appreciate modern art, to the everyday person, beckons the audience to look at themselves, too. During the exhibition’s last day the audience meets a cross-section of society: art lovers, skeptics, students, lost souls, fellow artists, museum guards and more. Brooke, a CCA senior, plays Tink Solheim, a young woman “deeply invested in one of the artists on exhibition (who) embarks on an existential mission to uncover the secrets in her artwork.” Howe uses well-crafted writing to portray a candid view of people in general, said Brooke. “This play is so smart and so honest ... an amazing example of a great, farcical piece of writing, and it’s hard not to love each of the characters in the show.” Twenty-seven cast members play 40 characters with brisk entrances and exits that require perfectly choreographed timing, yet each portrays a clear picture of their character.

Jacob Surovsky, a CCA junior, plays Bob Lamb, a patron of the modern arts who is “very full of himself.” No character is considered a lead role, said Jacob. “The whole cast tells this story, like an ensemble.” To understand the show’s concept, cast members researched museums and works of art by ac-

claimed artists. “We recently got to hear a speaker discuss a prominent modern artist’s work and how his pieces are created and inspired,” said Jacob, which offered an insight into the mind of a modern artist. There is also a theme to CCA ’s theater season this year, said Maddy, “about outsiders and their effect on society, whether positive or negative.”

“Museum” is full of outsiders “who actually want to be a part of something or think they are a part of something, but really discover they are alone,” he explained. The show has so many different characters and opinions that each audience member will take away from the show whatever speaks to them the most, said Jacob.

Brooke Patterson with Phillip Magin in ‘Museum.’ “Much like modern art, this play isn’t a fixed image, but a jumbling of ideas that the observer, not the creator, gets to decide the true meaning of,” he added. The way people are “is truly hilarious when you look at them from an outside perspective,” said Brooke. “I really hope that people will walk away (from the show) being able to laugh at themselves and laugh at how humans behave.” For tickets, visit http:// w w w. c c a - e n v i s i o n . o r g / events.

Hard choice: Del Mar’s Eucalyptus Stoneware company closing doors BY KRISTINA HOUCK Whether holding fruit or warming bread, baskets from Eucalyptus Stoneware have become the centerpiece of thousands of kitchens across America. But after 40 years in business, the Del Mar company is closing its doors. “It’s comforting to know that we have made as many people happy as we have,” said founder and owner John Laver. “It’s just time to close.” Located along the banks of the San Dieguito River Lagoon, Eucalyptus Stoneware has manufactured an estimated 1.5 million bread baskets over the past four decades. While other manufacturers reinvent their products to stay relevant and keep up with the latest trends, the local company’s baskets have never changed. It’s the simple, open-weave design that makes Eucalyptus Stoneware baskets better, Laver said. “I think the design is perfect,” he said. “You can put this basket in a traditional kitchen. You can put this basket in a modern kitchen. It goes everywhere.” A Los Angeles native, Laver grew up working with his grandfather, an Italian sculptor. While majoring in psychology at San Jose State, his experience in a ceramics class prompted him to minor in the craft. “I always enjoyed working with my hands,” Laver said. “And when I first took a class in college, the first five minutes were inspirational. I knew that it was something I was going to do.”

After a brief stint as a teacher, Laver began working for a clay supplier in the same building where his company is now. The Encinitas resident decided to open his own business a few months later in 1974. In 1979, Laver created an open-weave stoneware planter he intended to fill with greenery. When a friend pointed out it would make a great bread basket, an industry was born. “I remember where I was when he told me that,” Laver said. “The light bulb came on.” At one point, Eucalyptus Stoneware baskets were sold in more than 2,400 momand- pop stores across the country. High-end retailers such as Macy’s, Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom have also sold the handmade, ovenproof baskets, which are available in several sizes and 16 colors. In 1990, the baskets were introduced to Williams-Sonoma’s catalog and stores. The retailer became Eucalyptus Stoneware’s biggest client. “We started them, invented them and perfected the idea,” Laver said. “We got them out there into the world, and it’s become an iconic product.” With the rise of big-box stores, however, Laver’s mom-and-pop clients began closing their doors. The company was hit hard during the recession and never truly bounced back. Over the years, Laver has employed as many as 26 people at his shop at 2201 San

Eucalyptus Stoneware owner John Laver with his iconic handmade baskets. Photos by Kristina Houck Dieguito Drive in Del Mar. He had 11 people on staff in July, when the final baskets were produced. With just a few employees left, he is now cleaning up the shop and selling his equipment. Although the shelves will soon be empty, Laver has no plans to abandon his craft. Once the shop closes, he intends to work at his friend’s Encinitas-based stoneware shop, The Wheel. “It’s what I was meant to do,” Laver said. “I still enjoy it.” His workplace is what he’ll miss. “Del Mar has been good to me,” Laver said as he looked out at the lagoon. “This view has been wonderful. We get to watch the tide come in and go out, and come in and go out. It’s one of the reasons I stayed in this place for 40 years. More than the pottery, that’s what I’ll miss.” Call 858-755-5656 or visit www.eucalyptus-stoneware.com.

Nékter Juice Bar coming to DM Highlands Join Del Mar Foundation at Zel’s for Parents’ Night Out Nov. 5 Del Mar Highlands Town Center recently announced that nékter, which serves fresh made juices, smoothies and açai bowls, is opening at the Center this fall. (Note: The official name is “nékter” with a lower case “n”.) Nékter is the second new tenant announced for the shopping center this month.

SB Library to host graphic artist Gene Luen Yang at Oct. 28 event The Solana Beach Library hosts graphic artist Gene Luen Yang at 3:30 p.m. Tuesday, Oct. 28.

It has been selected as the 2014 San Diego County One Book for Teens. A 1995 computer science graduate of Cal Berkeley, Yang began his career in the tech industry, but quickly realized he was meant to teach.

Santa Fe Christian students collect candy to donate to U.S. troops

Santa Fe Christian Schools students are celebrating Halloween by writing personal notes and collecting hundreds of pounds of Halloween candy and Beanie Babies to donate to U.S. troops worldwide. Students at the Solana Beach school will be collecting unopened candy, Beanie Babies and cards in classrooms from Monday, Nov. 3 through Wednesday, Nov. 5. A moving truck will arrive at SFC’s Lower School office at 1 p.m. Thursday, Nov. 6, to collect the large load of donations and deliver them to Operation Gratitude. Care packages are then sent to the troops to enjoy for themselves, as well as to distribute with small stuffed animals to children in the communities they patrol. “It feels good to give back to the community and serve those who serve our coun-

try,” said Michelle Chan, an SFC ninth-grader. “It is my small way of saying ‘thank you’ to our troops for their sacrifice.” Last year, SFC students donated more than 500 pounds of candy to Operation Gratitude, a nonprofit that seeks to lift spirits and meet the evolving needs of our active duty and veteran communities. To date, the organization has donated more than 1.1 million care packages to active military men and women. “The crew of the USS Ingraham received their care packages from Operation Gratitude yesterday,” said LTJG K.C. PAO. “It was a wonderful surprise and brought in some much- needed smiles in the final weeks of a long deployment.” To learn more about Santa Fe Christian Schools, visit www.sfcs.net.

BY ASHLEY MACKIN Of the 88 young actors following “the second star to the right and straight on till morning� in J*Company’s production of “Peter Pan,� nine of them are from La Jolla, including the young leading lady. Gabi Leibowitz of La Jolla Shores plays Wendy Moira Angela Darling in the production, which opens Oct. 25 and runs through Nov. 9 at the Garfield Theatre at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center in La Jolla. Having seen the Disney movie (many times), Leibowitz said the tale is one of her favorites. “It’s just such a beautiful story and it’s going to be a great production,� she said. “There are lots of super-talented kids with great costumes and high production value.� To prepare for the role, Leibowitz first had to work on her English accent and practice singing, but thankfully there has been a lot of rehearsal time. “I love going to rehearsals,� she said. “I love seeing everyone come together and see what they bring to the table.� Joining Leibowitz in the cast are Lindsay Gartner, Gali Laska, Lauren Levi, Charles Lester, Gia Marino, Eliana Nahl, Faith Nibbe and Mac Simpson, of La Jolla. Directed by Joey Landwehr, the production has a special focus: your mother and mine. Using the script and songs as inspiration, Landwehr asked his cast to compile a list of all the things, big and small, made possible because of their mothers, noting how Mom has helped them accomplish their dreams. From their lists, the actors created a letter, poem or song telling their mothers how grateful they are for their efforts. Leibowitz, who sings the song, “Your Mother and Mine,� praised Landwehr for his

Which Wich, a chain that offers customizable sandwiches, is opening a third location in Solana Beach. The other two shops are in Carlsbad and La Jolla. Photo by Kristina Houck

Which Wich ready to spread sandwich love to Solana Beach BY KRISTINA HOUCK A new sandwich shop is set to open in Solana Beach. Scheduled to open early November, Which Wich? Superior Sandwiches will replace the former Togo’s Sandwiches at 691 Lomas Santa Fe Drive. “It’s exciting to work with the contractors, recruit new staff and meet the neighbors,” said owner Tony Kulick. “Solana Beach is a wonderful neighborhood to be in.” An Encinitas resident, Kulick left his 15-year career as the chief financial officer of Sammy’s Woodfired Pizza to purchase the Which Wich restaurant at the Carlsbad Forum in 2012. He and his family had been frequent customers of the fast-casual eatery. “We were big fans,” Kulick said. “It had such a broad appeal, and I thought it was time to get out on my own, try something new and take a shot at running my own business.” Kulick opened his second Which Wich in La Jolla in May 2013. The Solana Beach site is his third store. Based in Dallas, the fast-casual restaurant chain specializes in sandwiches and salads. From the signature “Wicked” loaded with five meats and three cheeses to a variety of vegetarian options, Which Wich offers more than 50 varieties of customizable “wiches.” The shop has a unique ordering system, where guests use red Sharpies to mark up a preprinted menu on a sandwich bag to customize their made-to-order sandwich. Guests are also welcome to draw on their bags and hang their art on the shop’s wall. “Which Wich is a positive environment with great staff and great music,” Kulick said. “It’s all about the creativity.” Using his stores to give back to the community, Kulick raises funds for local schools through programs such as Which Wich Wednesday with the Rhoades Foundation, where a percentage of the school’s sales go to its foundation. Through the company’s Project PB&J, Kulick has also donated more than 100 sandwiches to the Encinitas-based Community Resource Center, which provides safety, stability and a path to self-sufficiency for families in need and victims of domestic violence. “There’s a need out there,” Kulick said. “This is an easy way for me to participate and help the community.” Looking to hire 25 employees, Kulick hosted a job fair Oct. 18 at the new location. If all goes according to schedule, the 1,200-square-foot store will open Nov. 6, he said. “Come on in and see us, and give it a try,” Kulick said. “I’m sure you’ll love it.” For more about Which Wich, visit www.whichwich.com.

Community service, exploration help open world to Grauer School students

•Open House to be held Nov. 15 BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although she lives in Carmel Valley, being a student at The Grauer School means Divya Bhatia goes beyond the classroom and even outside North San Diego County to learn. A freshman at the Encinitas-based school, Divya, 14, has already participated in several school-sponsored expeditions, including trips to the mountains in Big Bear and the museums in Washington D.C. The Grauer School is hosting an open house on Nov. 15. “Expeditions make me An independent college preparatory school, Grauer look at the world in a different teachers use the Socratic model, encouraging questions. way,” said Divya. An independent college preparatory school, The Grauer School offers rigorous academics, enriching arts and competitive athletics. In order to graduate, students are also required to complete 50 hours of community service and a total of five weeks of expeditions. In September, Divya was among a dozen ninth- through 12th-grade students who traveled to Navajo Nation in New Mexico. During the five-day trip, students visited Navajo Middle School, toured the Zuni reservation and hiked Canyon de Chelly. “The whole point of an expedition is to do something you wouldn’t do otherwise,” Divya said. “Navajo Nation was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I’m really glad I could do it.” Math teacher Rachel Persons led the expedition. Having previously taught at a school in Navajo Nation, Persons was able to plan a daylong visit with the Zuni people. Students learned how to weave baskets and make bread. They also ate a traditional meal with a family. “It pushed the kids past their comfort level,” Persons said. “It is hard to go in any new community.” Founded in 1991 by Dr. Stuart Grauer, The Grauer School offers 160 classes for 150 students in grades six through 12. The school’s teachers adhere to the Socratic model, encouraging inquiry and discussion. But more than the school’s academics and extracurricular activities, it’s the schoolsponsored expeditions that prepare students for life after high school, Persons said. “Our kids are more aware of the world and how their actions contribute,” she said. “Because they have all these experiences, hopefully they’re going to go off and make a difference.” Located at 1500 S. El Camino Real in Encinitas, The Grauer School is hosting an Open House for prospective students and their families from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 15. Tours will take place every 20 minutes.

Head Start opens centers in Encinitas, SB Easter Seals Southern California has opened three new Child Development Centers in North San Diego County after the award of a Head Start contract earlier this year. The schools opened Sept. 8 and now provide services to 280 preschool children with center-based and home-based Head Start programs in Encinitas and Solana Beach.

In addition, ESSC Children’s Services will continue to provide education and support to more than 600 children and their families in the Inland Empire and Ventura. “It’s wonderful getting to know the parents and the kids,” said Marilyn Rodriguez, a family support worker at the Encinitas Head Start. “We want them to get involved, and they’re excited to be involved and to have our program and our resources available to them.” Rodriguez is one of 37 new associates brought on to assist with the center openings; ESSC took over the contract to run the centers.

Creating a safe haven: North Coast Fellowship seeks volunteers Every second Tuesday, North Coast Fellowship in Solana Beach becomes one of San Diego’s six food relief centers. Acting as a food bank, it provides needy families and individuals with free bags of nutritious food — would you believe, 200 bags on a given Tuesday! But Pastor JC Rodriguez doesn’t stop there. On Wednesdays, the church’s Community Hall at 940 Genevieve St. becomes the Creative Arts Center for SD County’s Adults with Special Needs group. Members have varying levels of autism, Down syndrome, and physical impairments. Each week, they create colorful pictures to decorate the once-drab walls of bedridden-patients at the VA. Their giving to others helps build their self-esteem. These sessions have even been used as training clinics for graduate nurses and therapy students from UC San Diego. In September, North Coast Fellowship held its annual car show to raise money for scholarships for disadvantaged students. The church provides a variety of youth programs to develop values centered on respect and pride for family and county. The church also works with other religious leaders and law enforcement to address social problems.

Kenyan education leader visits Pacific Ridge School, Canyon Crest Academy Abdul Kassim, the founder of the Kibera Girls Soccer Academy in Kibera, Kenya, made stops at Pacific Ridge School and Canyon Crest Academy recently during his first United States tour. Kassim, a 2015 Aspen Institute New Voices Fellowship nominee, spoke to students, faculty and guests about the uncertain and bleak futures faced by the nearly 1 million residents of Kibera. A majority of those living in Kibera make less than one dollar a day. One symptom of such extreme poverty is a lack of access to education, especially for young girls. In 2006, Kassim founded the soccer academy to provide girls with the rare opportunity to continue education beyond eighth grade. Today, KGSA is composed of 20 full-time staff, more than 130 students annually, and a growing list of academic, artistic and athletic programming. Among the school’s growing array of academic courses and activities is a journalism club known as the Kibera Shedders. KGSA and the Kibera Shedders are partnered with Pacific Ridge School and Canyon Crest Academy through a nonprofit program called the Global Journal Project. Together, the students produce Global Vantage, an award-winning, internationally minded, student-run magazine. Global Vantage has given KGSA’s journalism students a platform to share their stories and step into roles as advocates for themselves and their community. “Our graduates who worked on Global Vantage are attending university and are very involved the community,” said Kassim. “The program has given them a forum for building skills and getting their voices heard, and they are speaking out very confidently.” The private-public international school partnership fosAbdul Kassim tered by Global Journal Project has benefited KGSA financially as well. Funding from Global Vantage helped the school build a water station that provides clean drinking water for its students, and more recently, a Global Vantage connection led to a donation of 150 Kindle readers from the Worldreader program.

Drivers express skepticism over emerging vehicle technology Vehicle vocabulary such as GPS, airbags, and anti-lock brakes often ring familiar to most drivers across the United States. But words like electronic stability control, lane departure warnings, and rear-parking sensors can often garner a look of bewilderment, so a MetLife study suggests after concluding that Americans remain deeply skeptical over emerging vehicle technologies. Of Americans who responded to the survey,

nearly two-thirds said they did not entirely trust car technology, particularly with devices used in-cabin, due in part to the unnecessary reliance on GPS or in-car social networking. But while respondents doubted many of the creature comforts of today, chalking them up to mere distractions, nearly 85 percent remained faithfully reliant on tried-and-true technologies like seatbelts, airbags, and antilock brakes – safety systems proven to reduce the instances of car accidents. While many Americans remain technologically savvy, less than a third of those who were surveyed said they were still unsure about car technology, due in part to unfamiliarity, but also due to car technology’s reputation of creating potentially unsafe driving conditions. And in a surprising twist, many Americans expressed confusion over base safety features including electronic stability control, a

feature that helps drivers gain control over their vehicle in potentially unsafe driving conditions. Over 60 percent of respondents said they would choose a GPS device over electronic stability control due in part to the lack of knowledge surrounding useful – if not essential -- car technology needed today. Get to know your car technology Now you can be the expert on the lesscommonly discussed car technology that stands at the heart of increased driving safety. Electronic Stability Control Commonly referred to as ESC, electronic stability control should not be chalked up to a creature comfort. Instead, ESC can be a life-saving device since it uses computer technology to detect slipping, skidding, and even hydroplaning, instantly engaging the brakes, so collision impacts – if they occur – are significantly reduced. Lane departure warning systems

Driving while tired is unfortunately all too common, but technology like lane departure warning systems can helpdrivers avoid a car accident altogether as it will warn drivers when they drift into another lane unexpectedly, thereby reducing the chance of collision and personal injury. Rear parking sensor If you drive a luxury vehicle, you may already have a rear parking sensor installed. But if you don’t, or if you drive an older vehicle, consider getting one installed as it can save another person’s life. Unfortunately, there are hundreds of children who are run over each year by cars backing up unknowingly. Using a rear parking sensor can help improve your parallel parking, prevent needless car damage, and most importantly, it can safe a child’s life.

Fall in love with one-pot wonders The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN One pot dishes are not only hearty and scrumptious, but they are easy to prepare and save on clean up. Here’s an international sample of these wonder dishes that you can even make ahead of time and enjoy later. Magical Moroccan One Pot Tagines are savory slowcooked Moroccan stews of chicken, lamb, beef or fish blended with vegetables, dried fruits, preserved lemons and exotic herbs and spices, including turmeric,

saffron, ginger and coriander, simmered in cooking vessels that bear the same name. The conical shape of the traditional ceramic or clay tagine (reminiscent of the Tin Man’s hat from “The Wizard of Oz”) allows heat to circulate evenly so all ingredients cook uniformly, while trapping the flavorful liquids inside. The shallow dish that fits below the coned dome is used for both cooking and serving. This method not only requires Spartan amounts of water (ideal for regional droughts), but braises the meats and vegetables to a delicate tenderness. The tagine’s versatility allows it to be placed over hot coals or a gas or electric stovetop, using a diffuser for the latter two modes to evenly disburse the heat to prevent the pot from cracking. Authentic Moroccan tagine dishes are served on a bed of fluffy couscous. Rustic Ragùs These traditional Italian minced meat-based sauces are typically served over pasta. The carnivorous offerings range from chick-

en, duck, goose and offal (organ meats) to lamb, pork, veal and mutton, and are either braised separately or blended in pleasing combinations. Depending on the region and gustatory preferences, the meats are simmered in a broth, stock, wine, cream or tomato sauce for hours until it reduces down to a thick, wholesome stew. Set It and Forget It The iconic slow cooker of the 1970s is making a revival as a high-tech crockpot. A savior for working moms, busy singles or students, this culinary magic bullet lets an absentee cook put a substantial, shoestring, no-fuss meal on the table hours later. After prepping the meats and veggies, the crock-pot runs the show. Everything from chicken gumbos, cacciatores and vegetarian curries to lamb stews, Hungarian goulashes and turkey chilis can be started in the morning and warm and ready when you return from work or an outing, without tinkering around in a hot kitchen. Fine Kettle of Fish Through culinary ser-

endipity, bouillabaisse was created by some fishermen of Marseille, France, concocting a stew with bony rockfish scraps that they were unable to sell to markets or eateries. It has evolved into a traditional Provençal mélange of sea treasures including, monkfish, turbot, European hake, mussels, crab, octopus and lobster. These oceanic treats are simmered with leeks, onions, tomatoes and potatoes and a sprinkling of herbs de Provence creating a divine aromatic broth. Julia Child recommended serving the broth and fish separately with a side of grilled bread slathered with a savory rouille (an olive oil-based mayonnaise seasoned with garlic, saffron and cayenne pepper). The Sabbath Stew Orthodox Jews, forbidden to cook from sunset on Friday until three stars appear in the sky on Saturday evening, created a traditional stew called cholent that simmers overnight. This hearty hot meal is ready to eat on the Sabbath for lunch after they return from

Traditional cholent is a blend of beef or chicken with beans (kidney, navy, cranberry), barley, onions, garlic and potatoes dialed up with savory herbs and spices simmered in a chicken or beef broth. A vegetarian version includes a variety of beans and root vegetables simmered in a mushroom or vegetable broth. To paraphrase my Old World grandma, “Ess, ess, mein kind!
