New PHR Community Park design to feature alternative recreation for teens, kids BY KAREN BILLING
■ See inside for a variety of photos of community events.
November 19, 2015 | Published Weekly
The design committee for the new Pacific Highlands Ranch Community Park has expressed a preference for bringing some unique alternative recreation facilities, such as a parkour obstacle course, an adventure garden and a pump track for BMX and mountain bike riding. At the group’s Nov. 10 meeting, the committee advised park designers Schmidt Design Group to find room for these activities as well as plenty of field space for sports, passive contemplative spaces, a full outdoor basketball court and continuing a view corridor and promenade from the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch. The committee decided to move away from a more highly programmed option with five tennis courts, as they take up a lot of space. There is a hope that San Dieguito Union High School could allow public use of the courts at nearby Canyon Crest Academy. The committee also would like less asphalt — less parking lot and more park. At the meeting, Glen Schmidt of Schmidt Design presented renderings of three
design alternatives. One design option placed the recreation center near the center of the property, creating a “central hub” with back-to-back baseball/softball backstops and play areas. Both Guy Hagen, the vice president of the San Diego Youth Rugby Club, and Carmel Valley Recreation Council President Marilee Pacelli said that configuration would restrict how the large play area could be used. They would not be able to fit full-size soccer, rugby or lacrosse fields without a portion of the field being in the infield dirt. Hagen and Pacelli said having the field be partly dirt is not ideal playing conditions, noting it creates uneven surfaces and the dirt tends to get “rock hard” baking in the sun and could cause injuries to players who fall. They suggested instead moving the backstops to alternate corners to free up more flexible playing field space. Hagen said there is a real opportunity to create a pitch that does not exist in San Diego. “I think this would be a marquee field for the city,” he said. In planning the SEE PARK, A22

Del Mar council discusses short-term rental regulations BY KRISTINA HOUCK Del Mar is exploring regulations for short-term vacation rentals, but details on the new rules have not yet been decided. The city’s zoning code does not define or list short-term rentals as an allowed use, yet another section of the code allows residents to rent rooms in their homes for undefined periods of time. To clarify and update those rules, the City Council in August directed staff to draft an ordinance that will deal with the increasing number of short-term rentals in the community, which have prompted some residents to call for restrictions. Dozens of Del Mar rentals are advertised
on websites such as Airbnb and VRBO.com. A combined 143 rentals are listed on both sites, according to a city staff report. Short-term rentals are regarded as less expensive and more flexible than hotels, but the growing number can also be attributed to the ease and effectiveness of online advertising, explained Adam Birnbaum, the city’s planning manager. “This is not an issue that is unique to Del Mar,” Birnbaum said. “The solutions that are being employed by other jurisdictions are pretty similar as well.” Del Mar’s northern neighbors, Solana Beach and Encinitas, were among the first SEE RENTAL, A14

TP planning board seeks new members The Torrey Pines Community Planning Board (TPCPB) will hold elections in March 2016. The board reviews and sends recommendations to the San Diego City Council regarding land use projects/issues in the Torrey Pines area of Del Mar, which is in the city of San Diego. Recently, the board combined efforts with adjacent boards to cause the downsizing of One Paseo, in size, and traffic coming across Del Mar Heights Bridge to access I-5. Emergency fire/ambulance service is threatened by excessive traffic. The board worked closely with the Vons shopping center regarding its renovation. To qualify for the board, a person is required to attend three TPCPB meetings before the March elections and live or have a business in the Torrey Pines area. The board meets from 7-9 p.m. every second Thursday at Del Mar Hills Academy on Mango Drive. Visit www.torreypinescommunity.org or email Noel Spaid, Chair, at nspaid@san.rr.com.
Cost increases estimated for civic center BY KRISTINA HOUCK Del Mar will need a little more funding than originally estimated for its new civic center, but the project is still within the city’s financing capacity, city officials said during the Nov. 16 council meeting. The project is expected to cost about $17.8 million. Last spring, consultants for the city estimated the project would cost $12.4 million to $16.4 million. Since then, construction cost estimates have escalated, and project add-ons, including additional seating capacity and a catering kitchen, increased the price. “It’s a lot of money for our little city,” said Councilman Dwight Worden. “The couple of improvements are well worth it. That’s a core part of what the community wants out of this project." The city plans to cover the costs by borrowing funds. Assistant City Manager Mark Delin said Del Mar has the capacity to borrow up to $38.2 million at the 3.5 percent effective interest rate available through the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank, or up to $19.1 million using the financing policies recommended by the city’s Finance Committee. If the city borrowed $17 million, its annual payments over 30 years would be about $941,000, according to the staff report. The council unanimously gave staff the go-ahead to
proceed with the loan application. The exact amount of the loan will be decided and approved once the project is sent out to bid and costs are finalized. “It’s a good time to build a project,” Delin said. Following months of input from council and community members, the council on Nov. 2 unanimously approved the architectural design for Del Mar’s new civic center, which will feature a 3,200-square-foot town hall for community gatherings and government meetings on the site of the city’s facilities at 1050 Camino del Mar. Plans also include a 9,250-square-foot city hall for administrative services, a 15,000-square-foot outdoor public plaza for community activities, and 160 spaces for parking in both a two-level underground parking garage and a surface parking lot. With the council’s approval of the civic center design, the project is going through the design review process, with a preliminary review by the Design Review Board scheduled for Wednesday, Nov. 18, and a Citizens’ Participation Program meeting set for Thursday, Nov. 19. After the Design Review Board hearing on Dec. 16, the council is scheduled to finalize the project’s environmental impact report and approve entitlement documents on Jan. 4, 2016, clearing the way for demolition. If all goes according to schedule, demolition could begin as early as February and construction could start in late spring 2016.

Del Mar panel says trees block only some views in response to complaint BY EDWARD SIFUENTES
Special to the Del Mar Times, Carmel Valley News, Solana Beach Sun
About 30 blue gum eucalyptus trees that a group of Del Mar residents wanted removed because the tree tops were blocking their ocean views will remain, for now. The city’s Planning Commission decided in a 3-to-1 vote Nov. 10 that only some of the trees were interfering with views from three buildings in the Del Mar Woods condominium complex, and that a
subcommittee should be formed to come up with recommendations on how to solve the problem. Removing those trees remains a possibility. The Del Mar Woods complex is just west of Camino Del Mar and south of Del Mar Heights Road. The trees are on the eastern and northern boundaries of an adjacent six-acre, beachfront property belonging to the Torrey Pacific Development Co. Connie Sherman, one of the
Livability Workshop seeks feedback on how Carmel Valley can improve The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board Livability Committee, a voluntary committee consisting of board members and other community members, will host a Community Workshop at 1:30 p.m. Dec. 13 at the Carmel Valley Library. The purpose of the workshop is to update the community on recent planning work the Livability Committee has been doing and to gather feedback. The committee is focused on improving mobility, connectivity and safety for all modes of transportation. The community is invited to review maps where “areas of concern” have been identified and share ideas for other improvements. Areas of concern include intersections that are unsafe for bicyclists or pedestrians, areas where walking and bicycling mobility could be improved and where future planning will be intended to resolve such problems. The goal will be to use this opportunity for community dialogue to help guide the next steps for the committee in its planning efforts.
Bob & Kathy Angello
residents who filed the complaint, said she was pleased with the commission’s decision because it could eventually lead to the removal of some trees. Wayne Brechtel, an attorney representing the Torrey Pacific Development Co., said the decision was a mistake. He argued that his client has been trimming the trees every six month,s creating better views than the neighboring residents had before. “The Planning Commission
majority failed to recognize that the views at issue only exist because of the voluntary trimming that has been done by the owners of the property with the trees,” Brechtel said. Sam Blick, an attorney representing the group of residents, argued that the commission should take a broader approach to solving the problem because his clients’ views are not the only ones affected in the 126-unit complex. He said that
looking only at individual owners’ views would probably result in more residents coming forward with their own complaints. The commissioners took a narrower interpretation of the city’s ordinance and said it could only consider the views from the units included in this complaint. A recommendation from the subcommittee will probably be considered by the full commission during the panel’s January meeting.
Law Enforcement Teddy Bear Drive kicks off The San Diego Regional Law Enforcement Teddy Bear Drive is putting out an all-points bulletin on new, huggable stuffed bears and they are asking the public to “turn them in” at any San Diego law enforcement station. The stuffed animals will be donated and delivered Dec. 8 to Rady Children’s Hospital to comfort sick and scared children. The 25th annual drive is coordinated this year by the San Diego County Probation Department and the Coronado Police Department. “I’m very excited that the Teddy
Bear Drive has taken on a life of its own,” said Coronado Police Officer Brian Hardy, who started the drive in 1990. “This is all for the kids.” Since that time, the drive has grown from others in his department participating to every law enforcement agency in the San Diego region joining in. Upward of 60,000 stuffed animals are now collected each year. Cash donations allow teddy bear drive coordinators to replenish the supply of stuffed animals when those run out so that every child admitted to the hospital year-round receives a stuffed

animal. Money is also donated toward special keepsake memory boxes and comfort bears for the parents of children who pass away while they are patients at Rady Children’s.

Carmel Valley artist donates artwork for charity BY KRISTINA HOUCK In an effort to address addiction and homelessness in San Diego County, Carmel Valley artist Dennis Ellman is donating his artwork for charity. With 100 percent of proceeds benefiting McAlister Institute and San Diego Rescue Mission, the community is invited to purchase his pieces during an art show and sale Dec. 3 at NTC at Liberty Station. “I’m truly hopeful this one-evening event generates interest in supporting McAlister Institute and San Diego Rescue Mission,” and raises awareness of homelessness and addiction, Ellman said. “These are conversations that need to happen if we hope to impact the number of addicted and homeless in our community.” The event will take place from 6-8 p.m. Dec. 3 at NTC at Liberty Station, Barracks 17, 2640 Historic Decatur Road, San Diego. All donations will be handled directly by McAlister Institute and San Diego Rescue Mission. Ellman works closely with

grown into one of San Diego County’s largest alcohol and other drug treatment providers. Today the organization provides low-cost substance abuse treatment, drug intervention and recovery support
services to nearly 7,000 men, women, teens and children throughout San Diego and Napa counties. Ellman said he has seen the devastating consequences of substance abuse and wanted to help the organization positively affect the community. “I do this because I believe deeply in its mission to end addiction through the miracle of recovery,” said Ellman, who also serves on the institute’s board of directors. “I’ve dealt with this issue firsthand, felt the fear and pain of having a loved one in the throes of addiction, lost people I truly loved and know the challenges people in recovery and their families face every day as they work their programs.” The event will also benefit San Diego Rescue Mission. Founded in 1955, the faith-based nonprofit homeless shelter and recovery center has served thousands of men, women and children in San Diego. “We have come to recognize and appreciate the dedicated and passionate

work these nonprofits — and the many other nonprofits we’re humbled to work with — deliver to individuals working toward recovery, from homelessness, poverty, abuse and addiction,” Ellman said. “I truly believe in the work of these nonprofits and I’m honored to donate my artwork as a way to help them maintain and meet their missions.” From doodling as a child, to writing poetry as an adult, Ellman has always been creative. Born in Los Angeles, Ellman earned a bachelor’s degree in history from San Diego State University, where he discovered poetry. By his junior year, Ellman was published in national publications and received a fellowship to UC Irvine, where he completed a master’s in creative writing. Ellman has lived in San Diego since 1980, and in Carmel Valley for 15 years. Before co-founding the agency with his wife, Beverly, he worked in corporate communications for high-tech companies in Los Angeles and San Diego.

Local residents spread message of patriotism with Flag for Hope BY KAREN BILLING Rancho Santa Fe resident Tim Shanahan has become proudly invested in Flag for Hope, a nationwide social movement of people coming together to recognize America’s shared humanity and send a message of peace and hope for the future. “It’s an effort to pledge allegiance and try to unify the United States again,” Shanahan said. “If I can bring attention to the flag like this and all the outstanding citizens across the country, maybe we can do some good.” Flag for Hope began as a pop-up art project started by artist and Army veteran Marcus Antonio. The goal is to collect about 4,000 American hand and finger impressions in red, white and blue paint on a giant canvas to create the American flag. They plan to travel to more than 150 cities in the country in their efforts. Also, the 50 stars on the flag will represent iconic Americans who have contributed to the strength and well-being of the country. Stars so far include
1972 Olympics in Munich. He was in the Olympic Village when 11 Israeli athletes were taken hostage and killed by a Palestinian terrorist group called Black September. Since the 1970s, Shanahan has been close friends with Muhammad Ali, writing the book, “Running With The Champ,” to be released by Simon & Schuster next year. Shanahan was able to get Ali involved in Flag for Hope, as well as get the prints of other celebrity participants like Bill Gates, Brian Wilson, Blake Shelton and Kris Kristofferson. Shanahan has known Kristofferson for years and said the Army veteran, singer and actor is deeply patriotic and very proud of his father, who was a U.S. Air Force major general. “He said when he looks at the flag he only thinks of his brothers who fought in the war, saying, ‘All gave some, but some gave all,’” he said of Kristofferson, who is a star on the flag. Shanahan also submitted his childhood friend Bob Wieland to be a star on the flag. Wieland is a Vietnam

Mille Fleurs owner Bertrand Hug added his fingerprints to the Flag for Hope, with Flag for Hope’s Tim Shanahan of Rancho Santa Fe. Muhammad Ali, Sandra Day O’Connor and John McCain. Flag for Hope has been collecting fingerprints since August and had initially intended to present the flag and an accompanying documentary to the Smithsonian Institution on Veterans Day, Nov. 11. But the movement has become so big that they are now aiming for February 2016. Shanahan grew up in West Allis, Wis., a suburb of Milwaukee, five blocks from the home of 1994 Olympics gold medal speed skater Dan Jansen and his family.
The origins for Shanahan’s involvement in Flag for Hope came from Jansen and Mike Eruzione, from the 1980 gold medal-winning Olympic hockey team, who contacted Shanahan to ask if he could connect the project with some of his notable friends. Chris Cavedon of Rhode Island, who has contributed $2 million of his own money to help fund the project, had contacted the pair of Olympians. Shanahan is an Olympian himself, having been an alternate on the Olympic men’s handball team at the
War veteran whom President Ronald Reagan once called “Mr. Inspiration.” Wieland lost both legs in the war and went on to become the first and only double amputee to complete the Kona Ironman without a wheelchair. Shanahan set everything aside to focus on Flag for Hope and has traveled to cities “nonstop” to keep building on the flag. “It’s a great privilege and honor to do what we’re doing,” he said. The stories of everyday Americans who participate are all truly moving and touching, he said. In New Orleans, the flag got the prints of restaurant owner Allen Jaegar, whose family has lost their business three times to hurricanes, including Hurricane Katrina. They persevered to save and restore the home and business they created. In Maine, the project visited the “Freeport Flag Ladies,” who have waved their American flags every Tuesday since 9/11. In Arizona, a 95-year-old World War II veteran who was in the hospital recovering from a leg amputation put his

fingerprints on the flag. The team brought the flag to him in the hospital. In Minnesota, Anne Sweeney, whose brother was on the plane that struck the South Tower of the World Trade Center on 9/11, shared her story and prints. In Massachusetts, Rick and Dick Hoyt of Team Hoyt joined the flag. Dick Hoyt has run the Boston Marathon 32 times with his son Rick, who has been in a wheelchair his entire life because of cerebral palsy. In San Diego, Shanahan thought of Bertrand Hug, the owner of Rancho Santa Fe’s Mille Fleurs restaurant and downtown’s Bertrand at Mister A’s, as an ideal addition to the flag and someone who would be a fine representation of the city. “Bertrand and his wife, Denise, are two of the most patriotic people in the country,” Shanahan said. “I knew this would be perfect for him.” Hug placed his fingerprints on the Flag for Hope atop Mister A’s, with San Diego sparkling below. Shanahan said it was a great moment, SEE FLAG, A10

Solana Highlands traffic safety day San Diego Jewish Academy
Solana Highlands Elementary School was awarded the walk, ride and roll to school mini-grant through SANDAG recently. Parent grantees Donna Morales and Lisa Lee planned activities to educate the students about traffic safety. Karl Rudnik, League of American Bicyclists verified instructor and Sheri Kono, PE coach, co-led parent volunteers in traffic scenarios. Students practiced being bicyclists and pedestrians, navigating a playground course with a four-way intersection, stop signs, crosswalks, simulated cars and other bicyclists and pedestrians. Students were awarded reflective backpack tags. Under the direction of art teacher Nancy Reitzler, students created a traffic collage in the lobby. Daily “walking school buses” were organized to promote walking to school. The

lower school students gather donations for Veterans Day
San Diego Jewish Academy’s lower school students (K-5) recently held a special ceremony and gathered donations for active military in honor of Veterans Day. The entire lower school, along with parents and grandparents, attended a special gathering where they recited the pledge of allegiance, sang “America the Beautiful” and “The Star Spangled Banner,” said a prayer for the troops, and then watched a short video on the meaning and history of Veterans Day. Parents who are veterans were invited to attend and were asked to say a few words to the students. Matthew Dominguez, who has two children attending San Diego Jewish Academy, was the first to speak. “I served in the Marines,” said Dominguez. “That means when the president dials 911, we’re the ones who answer.” Aurelio Velazquez, whose daughter attends the academy, also spoke to the children. “I served in the Navy for 27 years,” Velazquez told the students. “We worked with the Marines as a team.” Every child in the lower school also had written a letter to U.S. soldiers serving overseas.

Those letters, along with boxes of donated food items and toiletries collected by the children, would be hand-delivered to the troops by an active-duty serviceman who is friends with SDJA faculty. “We collected food and stuff,” said Max, who is in the first grade. “We want to show the soldiers we care about them.”

FROM FLAG, A7 hearing Hug explain what the flag means to him. “I am a French-American, and I would have never achieved what I have achieved in America in France,” Hug said. “When I look at the American flag, I
think of freedom and opportunity. “I’m just a simple owner of two outstanding restaurants in San Diego, so proud to be an American ... I will never stop thanking America for this opportunity to be a successful American.”
Boy Scout Troop 782 of Solana Beach celebrated Veterans Day by placing flags and cleaning the Armed Services Memorial at San Dieguito Academy, which is dedicated to former students who lost their lives in World War II, Korea, and Vietnam. Nick Post, an Eagle Scout and graduate of the academy, restored the memorial for his Eagle project and installed concrete benches and added measures to combat vandalism. Every military holiday, the troop places a large American flag, a POW flag, and dozens of small American flags around the memorial. Troop 782 meets at Skyline Elementary and St. James Church on Monday evenings, and welcomes interested young men to join them to explore their fun and character-building program.

Team Union’s project was a public awareness campaign to encourage more households to recycle their yard waste. Team Union was surprised to learn during their project research that 14 percent of all residential waste going to the Miramar Landfill is recyclable yard waste, and that many people in Carmel Valley are not even aware that San Diego has a curbside yard waste recycling program. Team Union’s project presentation, a skit written and performed by the students, received the highest marks. “This is a team that will not let your yard go to waste!” announced the judges when presenting the champions award to the team. To find out whether curbside yard waste recycling is available in your area, visit the City of San Diego’s Environmental Services Department webpage, www.sandiego.gov/ environmental-services.

The Ashley Falls Kid Power group.
Ashley Falls students send candy care packages to troops
The Ashley Falls Kid Power group packed up 1,000 pounds of hard-earned Halloween candy to send to troops overseas. This was the 11th year that Ashley Falls has participated in this program. The candy was exchanged with Dr. Lukas Pytlik as part of a candy buy-back program, netting $500 for the school. A check was presented to Principal Abby Farricker. The pounds of candy were collected from students at Ashley Falls, Carmel Valley Middle, Earl Warren Middle, Notre Dame Academy and the St. Therese of Carmel Challenge Girls and Conquest Boys groups. The Kid Power group drew heartfelt thank-you cards to the troops to send along in the care packages.
Dr. Lukas Pytlik presented a check to Ashley Falls Principal Abby Farricker.
cities in San Diego County to set limits on short-term rentals. Both cities initially sought to ban short-term rentals, but the California Coastal Commission backed them as a more affordable alternative to hotels, thus increasing public access to the beach. Solana Beach adopted an ordinance in 2003 that prohibits rentals for fewer than seven days and requires owners to obtain a permit and pay an annual fee. Encinitas adopted a similar ordinance in 2005 that also requires owners to obtain a permit and pay an annual fee. Both ordinances also require owners to post their contact information on the outside of the building and to respond to complaints within a certain amount of time. More recently, Carlsbad adopted rules in May that, unlike the other cities, limit short-term rentals to the coastal zone and prohibit them elsewhere in the community. Owners must obtain a business license and a short-term rental permit. Property owners must also pay transient occupancy taxes and Carlsbad Tourism Business Improvement District fees, among other regulations. In September, Del Mar council members debated what sort of requirements should be part of the new regulations. A draft ordinance was presented to the Planning Commission on Nov. 10. Commissioners did not take any action, but gathered public input and discussed the issue. About two dozen
Over 75 Years of Service QUALITY NEVER COMPROMISED We install ALL roof types
speakers were divided on the subject, with some seeking a ban on short-term rentals and others requesting the city to allow them. Council members discussed the draft ordinance during the Nov. 16 council meeting. If approved, it would require property owners who rent their homes to obtain a city permit and follow certain rules, such as a “good neighbor policy,” a code of conduct and consideration. The ordinance would also amend the residential zoning districts to list longand short-term rentals as an allowed use, subject to regulations. Other rules, including requirements for minimum stays and limits on yearly operations, have yet to be decided. Speakers were once again divided during the council meeting. Several residents said rentals are changing the character of the residential communities by bringing in strangers and creating noise and parking problems. “Please stop the industrialization, the commercialization of Del Mar,” said Del Mar resident Robin Crabtree, who argued against changes to the residential zones and requested rentals be prohibited for less than 30 days. “This is not and was not the intent of the community plan.” About a dozen short-term rental supporters, most of them property owners who rent their homes, argued that rentals provide a necessary source of income and benefit the greater economy. Many said they supported some regulations, such as a good
neighbor policy, but opposed limits on length of stays. “The city of Del Mar has a very, very long history of welcoming visitors,” said Barbara McRoskey, who is temporarily renting her home until she can permanently relocate to Del Mar. “We already have our own good neighbor policies in place. We’re totally fine with enacting something like that,” she added. “We’re very conscientious of our neighbors. We don’t want to disrupt people.” Council members were also divided on how to regulate the rentals. Instead of starting off with strict rules, Councilman Terry Sinnott suggested the council consider a staged approach to solve the problem. If an educational program with the residents and rental community does not work, the city could create a permitting process. And if that does not work, the city could implement additional regulations or even ban rentals in the residential zone. “I’m really worried about what is being proposed,” Sinnott said. “Not that we don’t have a problem that we need to solve — I’m afraid we’re using a sledgehammer to go after it.” Councilman Don Mosier supported his colleague’s suggestion. “I think the number of problems we’re having is relatively small, but those need to be addressed,” he said. “I’m all in favor of a phased approach where we roll out some good neighbor policies as we collect more data.” SEE RENTAL, A22

CV’s Taylor Baldwin shares Scouting memories at fundraiser Taylor Baldwin of Carmel Valley and playwright Elizabeth Dewberry of La Jolla recently served as honorary co-chairs of Girl Scouts San Diego’s “Urban Campout: Island Treasures.” Karen Benito and Denise Scott co-chaired the fundraiser, held at the Girl Scouts’ campus in Balboa Park. The 18th annual event brought in $385,000 to keep Girl Scouting available and affordable for 40,000 girl and adult members. A portion of the proceeds has also been earmarked for construction of a new cabin at the Balboa Campus. During the program, Baldwin shared her personal memories of Girl Scouting. “Girl Scouts provided me with a safe haven and firm foundation to learn, explore, play and thrive — in ways I wouldn’t have experienced otherwise,” she said. Baldwin explained that Girl Scouting helps girls develop the skills they need to become tomorrow’s leaders and innovators, and the opportunity to develop
into confident, resourceful adults. “On average,” she told guests, “women who ‘wore the sash’ go on to higher levels of educational attainment, volunteer more and earn an average of $12,000 more than women who were not Girl Scouts.” Girl Scouts leading the Girl Scout Promise included Baldwin’s daughter, Joelle Vitiello, as well as Emersen Rider, also of Carmel Valley. San Diego Police Chief Shelley Zimmerman, who serves on Girl Scouts’ Board of Directors, and City Councilman Todd Gloria also participated. Among the guests were Carmel Valley residents Michele and Roger Denning, Solveig and Dan Deuprey, Tamara and Tom Deverell, Susan Lenz, Catherine Young and Mike Buhai, Debbie and Mike Rider, Anne and Hal Rosner, Linda and Steve Selk, and Cheryll and Gil Stewart. Dressed in tropical attire, guests played games, bid on auction items, enjoyed a gourmet dinner, danced to
island tunes by The Heroes and made s’mores around the campfire. Qualcomm was the 2015 silver level sponsor. Wells Fargo, Holland America Line, Southwest Airlines and Nadine and Carlo Daleo were bronze level supporters, while trailblazer level contributors included Business Complete Solutions, Chevron, Cox Communications, Cubic, Delphi Financial, Barbara and David Groce, Patti Roscoe and Jim Tiffany, San Diego Chargers, SDG&E, Sharp Health Plan, Katie and Dan Sullivan, Sycuan Casino, Tipton Honda and Union Bank. Event underwriters included Mission Federal Credit Union, Cubic, Dori and Andy Gallagher, Blankinship & Foster, Nadine and Carlo Daleo, Anthony and Sara Napoli, Patti Roscoe and Jim Tiffany, and Sylvia and Tom Vecchione.

Like many builders, Joe Belmonte got his start on the ground floor, learning the building process from a friend in Hawaii after serving in the Army during the Vietnam War. He returned to his hometown of Coronado, married his high school sweetheart, and got as much experience as he could in framing, drywall, steel studs and other construction disciplines. Business took off and Belmonte started his own drywall and tenant-improvement firm, Belco Construction Ltd. "Everything blossomed," he said. "We worked mostly with union contractors and did a lot of work for commercial clients such as Koll, Larson, Collins Development, Kvass, M.H. Golden and other large builders and developers. We were always one of the top five tenant-improvement companies in San Diego.

"Then came the savings and loan crisis in the 1990s. I decided to direct my focus on building custom homes, where I could control the design, the construction costs and the distribution of money. I liked it because building a custom home is not repeating the same design over and over; each project is unique and individualized for a set client. It was something I always wanted to do." His downtown San Diego firm, Belmonte Builders, Inc., specializes in creating high-end custom homes with the kind of individualized touches he couldn't offer his commercial clients. Belmonte has been building custom homes throughout the county since then. One of the company's recent projects is a 7,500-square-foot residence in a gated community and includes an additional 1,000-square-foot pool house, mini soccer field and half basketball court. The firm also continues to work on selected commercial projects such as tenant improvements and condominiums. To Belmonte's credit, he pays attention to detail and to the way a home should live. He also knows how to make "a small house live large, which is basically using the best space for your living area and taking advantage of every possible construction benefit you can give a client.

The Pacific Ridge Girls Varsity Tennis team recently won the CIF Championship.
Pacific Ridge Girls Varsity Tennis team wins CIF Championship The Pacific Ridge Girls Varsity Tennis Team won its first California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) Championship on Oct. 30. The fourth-seeded Firebirds captured the Division II title with a 15-3 win over No. 3 Patrick Henry at the Barnes Tennis Center in Point Loma. Throughout
the week, Pacific Ridge advanced through the playoffs with victories against Monte Vista (#13), Eastlake (#5) and San Marcos (#8). The championship win is an exclamation point on a perfect division record, as well as a fitting redemption. During last year’s Division III finals, the Firebirds fell to
Eastlake in a heartbreaking double tiebreaker. “This team was as cohesive, supportive, and determined as any team I have seen, and the Division II CIF Championship was a well-earned, fitting reward,” said Pacific Ridge Athletic Director Hans Richter.
Torrey Pines High School Falcons soar over Olympian Eagles, 21-14 BY WALTER BAYS Torrey Pines won the first round of CIF Division 1 playoffs against visiting Olympian, 21-14. The Falcons threatened first, driving 72 yards in 18 plays to the Eagle 8-yard line, where for the first time all year, kicker Luc D’Arcy missed a short field goal. The Eagles then drove 59 yards to the Falcon 21 where Ty Helfrich recovered a fumble. Two plays later, Torrey Pines quarterback Caden Kelley, making his return from injury, hit Scotty Gange, who had found his way behind the Olympian coverage, and then outran the defenders 76 yards into the end zone for the game’s first score. A D’Arcy extra point made it 7-0 Falcons. With just over a minute in the half, Tristin Alesi took a pitch and ran for 27 yards to the Eagle 21, then Michael Gadinis caught a touchdown pass to go up 14-0. Olympian fought back in the second half driving 85 yards in 15 plays to score,

would-be tacklers along to the 6 for first and goal. Alesi ran it to the 1 and then Montes scored the winning touchdown, with a D’Arcy extra point, 21-14. Olympian’s final comeback attempt was thwarted when, after a pass completion near midfield, a Falcon, perhaps Montes, stripped the receiver of the ball and Beau Morgans recovered. Duerr finished the night with six rushes for 77 yards, Alesi 4 for 45, and Matthew SEE FALCONS, A19

Letter writer overreacted to tree stump issue Mr. Nelson’s Nov. 5 editorial regarding the Solana Beach Council’s rejection of the tree stump carving is both inaccurate and so bitter that his campaign against certain individuals and our council has become an extreme overreaction to the issue. I was truly shocked to see how Mr. Nelson singled out Gerri Retman. He cites the pettiest of details, such as the order of submitting speaker slips, to illustrate what he sees as some kind of conspiracy. Does he really believe our city leaders lack the ability to make up their own minds, especially over such a minor concern as this? The fact is, I am the one who brought the subject up to Ms. Retman and asked her to speak because I strongly believe that we need to retain
the requirement for temporary art. We should be proud of our very smart and forward-thinking council for all the fine work they’ve done for our city. They are perfectly capable of wisely governing without being accused of being subject to the undue influence of one individual. Mr. Nelson believes we should ignore Ms. Retman’s opinion because she has volunteered her time to manage campaigns. Meanwhile, Mary Jane Boyd has also worked on numerous campaigns, yet Mr. Nelson finds no issue with her expressing her opinions on various issues. Another letter writer seems to equate this controversy with the city’s recent repeated requests for volunteers to fill vacant Commission seats. As a past Commissioner
Ongoing drama for Democrats
Don’t let council legalize short-term rentals
BY GORDON CLANTON The previous column told how termed-out Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins launched a campaign to unseat state Senator Marty Block, who would term out in 2020. Atkins claims that Block broke a promise to serve only one term. Block acknowledges Gordon discussions, but insists no Clanton promise was made. It is impossible to determine who said what to whom. Often in such situations, both parties believe they are telling the truth. But if there was a deal whereby Block promised to step aside, why did Atkins launch a campaign for “Atkins for Senate 2020”? If they had a deal, Atkins could have acknowledged that she was raising money for a 2016 campaign. Also, does it make sense that they made a verbal agreement in 2012 or 2013 and that Atkins never “checked in” to confirm that the alleged deal was on track? Atkins’ strategy was unethical in two ways. By claiming she was raising money to run in 2020, 1) she took contributions from folks who do not support her 2016 challenge to Block, and 2) she lulled Block into thinking he would not need to raise much money to defend a safe Democratic seat. As Kant would have us ask: What would happen if everybody did this routinely? Each primary would become an expensive ordeal for every Democratic incumbent. Good news for Republicans. The result of Atkins’ challenge is that two very capable Democrats will spend big money that might have gone to the First District race, which will determine the partisan balance of power on SEE CLANTON, A19
I am in support of a ban on rentals of less than 30 days in all Residential Zones. The Del Mar Municipal Code should not be amended to allow short-term rentals of less than 30 days. There should be no amendment to Title 9 of the Municipal Code to establish a new chapter to regulate and issue permits for short-term rentals, as requested by City Staff in its presentation to the Planning Commission last Tuesday, Nov. 10. I would be in support of a Municipal Code amendment stating the following: Rentals of less than 30 days are not permitted in any residential zone throughout the City of Del Mar. Do not ask our City Council to legalize residential rentals of less than 30 days. The future of Del Mar as we have known it is at stake. Short-term rentals are no longer just “Mom and Pop” operations during the summer. The Vacation Rental Industry has invaded our tiny community and it is detrimentally affecting all of our neighborhoods in the beach areas and up on the hillside too, and it is getting worse each year. If rentals of less than 30 days are legalized and given permits to operate, there will never be a way to turn back the clock. A Mini-Hotel will
Thanks to the folks at Pacifica Del Mar Once again thank you to the folks at the Pacifica Del Mar restaurant for their Veterans Day recognition of the military men and women who have served our great country.

myself, I believe there is sometimes hesitation to volunteer because the various commissions require a great deal of time and dedication. Not everyone is ready to make that commitment. There is no need to fear that the occasional lack of volunteers has anything to do with council leadership. Instead of disparaging activists such as Ms. Retman and our council members, we should be celebrating those in our community who have worked tirelessly to make Solana Beach such a desirable place to live. And adults should be able to disagree without being personally attacked. Vicki Cypherd Solana Beach
have the right to do business next door to your home and forever disturb your peace of mind and quality of life. As these short-term rentals continue to increase, strangers will be coming and going through our neighborhoods at all times of the year. Is this why we moved to Del Mar? I think not, and so do a growing number of our permanent residents and registered voters of Del Mar. Unless you want even more Mini-Hotels doing business in Del Mar — and perhaps next to your home someday — do not let our City Council legalize rentals of less than 30 days in any residential zone within Del Mar. If the Municipal Code can be modified so that short-term rentals are not permitted, the city would then have the power it needs to stop the Vacation Rental Industry and other property owners from renting to rowdy, noise-making and disrespectful vacationers. Life could then go on in Del Mar as it has for many generations. We must act now to make this happen! Hershell Price Del Mar

Letters, continued Does Del Mar need that much City Hall? I have not fully participated in the many opportunities to give my input in the City Call project, but after reading the staff report for the City Hall project budget, I have to give the following opinions: 1. Do we need all that is included in the proposed plan? I don’t think so. In 1959, when the city was born, the city business was carried out in one room in the old Del Mar hotel, and the city business got done! 2. That location was followed by an office above the 7-Eleven then, where Rusty’s is today., and the city business got done. 3. Like all the property owned by the city today, I believe it was acquired, not because we needed it to do the city business, but because it was for sale — the Powerhouse Park, the Shores elementary school site, the entire block of the existing Catholic elementary school site, the Catholic church
site — did we really need them, or could the city business get done without them? 4. Tonight, the council is considering the budget for the new city hall at a projected cost of $17.9 million! You and I are going to have to pay for it, and that is way more than I think we need to do the city business! 5. Do we really need a catering kitchen to handle up to 250 people — who, and for what? 6. Please go to www.delmar.ca.us/agendacenter/viewfile agenda/11162015-992 to see in detail what we are talking about. 7. If you think, as I do, that $18 million is more than we need to spend for facilities to do the city business in, then let the City Council know at cityhall@delmar.ca.us. Ralph Peck Del Mar
Trash along highway ramps is too much My husband and I have lived in beautiful Northern San Diego for 25 years. It has bugged me to death the unkempt ramps in the “whole” city. There is everything from garbage cans, boxes, junk food wrappers, to just “start” an unending list! We always want to blame The Fair ... horse racing and vacationers, where in fact, it is our “own” residents who could care less and just litter.

FROM CLANTON, A18 the San Diego City Council. Area Democrats will be divided, and the bitterness will linger. Intra-party challenges always hurt the party. Ted Kennedy’s 1980 challenge of Jimmy Carter contributed to the victory of Ronald Reagan. Although much of the commentary on this race suggests there are few serious policy differences between Atkins and Block, the
speaker has killed tobacco regulation and a minimum-wage increase. And she weakened SB 350, the Clean Energy and Pollution Reduction Act. Doubling down and dirty in recent weeks, Atkins attempted to buy blank memberships in bulk at San Diego-area Democratic Clubs with the apparent intent of stuffing the ballot box when club endorsement votes are taken. Remarkably tone-deaf,
Atkins defended this strategy before the membership of the La Jolla Democratic Club until she slowly realized that the audience strongly disapproved of what she had done. Then Atkins blamed her staff. Gordon Clanton teaches sociology at San Diego State University. He welcomes comments at gclanton@mail.sdsu.edu.

Phyllis Lutes Scripps
August 13, 1924 - November 9, 2015 LA JoLLA — Phyllis Lutes Scripps, an artist, mother and San Diego native, passed away on Monday, November 9, 2015. She was 91. To those who knew her well, Mrs. Scripps was a talented artist. She soaked in the beauty of her surroundings and reflected it back in her sense of style, her watercolor paintings, and her love for the written word. Even in her last days, Mrs. Scripps was an avid reader. She read several newspapers every day, and was always surrounded by stacks of books. In her last weeks, her loving daughter, Edy, read to her every day. Mrs. Scripps was born in San Diego on August 13, 1924, to Harold and Edith Lutes of Mission Hills, where she attended both grade and middle school. After graduating from Point Loma High School, she attended Pomona College in Claremont, CA. She graduated in 1944 and
worked as a copy editor at The San Francisco News, now the SF Chronicle. She also worked as a school teacher in San Diego and Detroit, Michigan. In 1946, she married her late husband, Thomas osborn Scripps Jr., after he returned from military service with the Navy. The couple moved to Burlingame, California, in the late 40’s, where Mr. Scripps Jr. worked at the Santa Paula Chronicle as a reporter. on September 19, 1951, Phyllis and her husband welcomed the twins, Thomas osborn III
and Edith Carroll. The family moved to the Silver Lake neighborhood of Los Angeles in 1952, where Mr. Scripps Jr. took a job with the Ford Motor Company. There, Phyllis worked in community service projects including the Junior League Glee Club. In 1959, they moved to Detroit, Michigan, after her husband received a promotion. They returned to San Diego in 1968, where Mr. Scripps Jr. continued to work in PR for the Ford Motor Company, and Mrs. Scripps began a successful career in real estate at the Willis Allen Company, where she worked until she retired. Passionate about creativity and education, Mrs. Scripps contributed to many community projects in La Jolla, including serving as a Trustee of the Bishops School, and as a board member for The Athenaeum Music and Arts Library. Mrs. Scripps was also an
avid tennis player, and ranked 5th in the state in Women’s doubles in 1975. She was remembered as a fierce competitor. She is survived by her children, Edith Scripps of La Jolla and Thomas Scripps of San Francisco; daughter-in-law, Theresa Scripps; grandchildren, Emma Scripps, Tessa Scripps and Sara Scripps; and her great-grandchild, Ezra Scripps Hepner. A remarkable woman who inspired all with elegance, dignity, leadership and grace, she will remain in our hearts forever and ever. Services will be held on Saturday, November 21, 2015, at 1:00pm at St. James by-the-Sea Episcopal Church in La Jolla. In lieu of flowers, the family suggest donations be made in her name to The Athenaeum Music and Arts Library in La Jolla. Please sign the guest book online at legacy.com/ obituaries/lajollalight.

exceeded standards, compared with 24 percent in the county and 21 percent in the state. Finally, 38 percent of students with disabilities met or exceeded standards, compared with 13 percent in the county and 9 percent in the state. “For those students who are English learners, they’re acquiring a new language while learning and acquiring the content,” reminded Lee. “This is a baseline year of data for us,” she added in reference to all grade level scores. “This is a new test. As we move forward, hopefully, our scores will continue to increase over time.”
Daley had the advantage of a much higher budget, but there is a lot of inspiration to draw from. The committee placed less priority on a proposed skate plaza in the park, as there are skate parks nearby in Rancho Penasquitos and Carmel Valley. “There is nothing for kids who ride bicycles,” said
Chris Powell, noting he would rather see space used for the pump track and for local teen-requested areas like the parkour course. The committee’s next meeting will be at 6:30 p.m. Dec. 8 at Pacific Trails Middle School. Ideas for the new park and recreation center can be emailed to phrpark@cvsd.com.
FROM RENTAL, A14 Mayor Al Corti and Deputy Mayor Sherryl Parks, however, favored a more aggressive approach. “It’s something that we need to regulate,” Parks said. “I don’t think we should require neighbors to be the policemen. I think that puts everyone at a bad position.” “I think that there is a problem,” added Corti, noting the issue came before the council because of residents’ concerns. “Clearly, it seems like it’s a lot more today than it was five years ago.” Still undecided, Councilman Dwight Worden requested further data from staff and input from the commission regarding impacts to the economy, housing and people in the community, as well as ideas for enforcement and fees. “I am learning, and my position is still evolving,” he said. City staff will revise the proposal before returning to the commission for an advisory vote. The council will then make a decision on the regulations.

Local teen’s SD Chill helps special-needs kids learn joy of ice hockey BY KAREN BILLING What started out as a simple Bar Mitzvah service project for Carmel Valley resident Isaiah Granet has turned into a life-changing program for kids with special needs. At age 13, Isaiah founded The San Diego Chill, an ice hockey program for children with developmental disabilities. Every Saturday at UCT Ice Sports Center, a group of about 25 kids hits the ice to learn to skate and play hockey from a group of dedicated teenage volunteers like Isaiah. Only 15 years old now, Isaiah has high hopes for his organization. The Chill relies on donations to survive. Isaiah recently entered the national UCT Gives Back competition, and his nonprofit was chosen in the top 10. He is looking for support in gathering online votes so San Diego Chill can earn the winning prize of a $10,000 grant. Second place receives $5,000, and San Diego Chill is in third place. People can vote daily until Dec. 4. Visit sandiegochill.org for the link. To enter the contest, Isaiah had to submit a video about his program, which features many happy children’s faces on the ice and the words of grateful parents whose kids have found an activity they truly enjoy. The video begins with a quote from Jim Abbott, the former Major League Baseball pitcher who was born without a right hand: “It’s not the disability that defines you; it’s how you

San Diego Chill’s goal is that no child is defined by his or her disability. In developing the idea for his service project, Isaiah looked to the American Special Hockey Association for inspiration. Most of their programs were for adults; none were really serving young kids with special needs. “I love working with kids, so I decided that I would do this,” said Isaiah, a

sophomore at Pacific Ridge School who plays on a competitive hockey team. After knocking on many doors, he got help becoming a 501(c)3, got ice time donated at UTC Ice, and went about advertising his program. He purchased equipment like helmets and sticks through donations in lieu of presents for his bar mitzvah. Players also get Chill jerseys with their names on the back. The program started with 12 kids and has steadily grown. With 30 kids signed up, 25 show up regularly every week. All Chill players get to skate and learn for free. “We do a one-to-one system, so each kid is worked with individually to fulfill our mission statement, to connect with the kids and have players progress faster,” Isaiah said. At first, it was tough because the teenage coaches had “no idea what we were doing.” They got help from an ASHA program in Valencia, which gave them drills and teaching
techniques that would work with the kids. “It took off from there,” said Isaiah, who shows up to the rink about a half an hour before the kids and his coaches every Saturday when he isn’t competing himself. The Chill teen coaches work with players to make sure they’re “growing, skating safely and improving their skills,” Isaiah said. He has really enjoyed the connections he has made with his players, in particular one youth named Adam. “I’ve formed a close relationship with him,” Isaiah said. “He has the best smile, and that’s what makes it all worth it.” In January, the Chill will compete in its second ASHA tournament. A lot of the kids have never competed on a sports team before, so the tournament becomes a huge deal, Isaiah said. Friends and family cheer them on, and they earn a medal at the end. The Chill has also formed a relationship with Ari Segal,
president of business operations for the San Diego Gulls. Recently the Gulls donated tickets, allowing many Chill players to attend their first professional hockey game. A year ago, UTC Ice had to start charging for ice time. To pay for it, Isaiah applied for and received a U.S. Hockey Grow grant. Ice time is about $8,000 a year and equipment is about $4,000 a year. In addition, Chill covers all tournament fees and associated travel fees —Isaiah never wants anyone to be excluded from participating. To keep his program going costs an estimated $12,000 to $14,000 a year. “My hope is that we get this grant, because this program means a lot to the players and to the coaches,” Isaiah said. “If it goes away, there will be a huge hole in their lives.” He hopes to earn a business degree and said he has goals of running nonprofits in the future, to “keep doing rewarding work.”

Mom Lisa is impressed by her son’s passion and drive. “At his age, I would’ve never been able to do what he’s done,” Lisa said. “It’s amazing to see this group of teenagers, who supposedly don’t think about anyone else, being so actively involved. They all give of themselves and they love it.” Further smashing perceptions of self-involved youth, Isaiah said many of the volunteers never even ask for volunteer hours for their time spent with the Chill. He said the teens just get so much out of providing motivation and smiles on the ice. They love playing with and helping the kids. “San Diego Chill now has the most players of any ASHA programs, and some of those programs have been around for 10 to 15 years. That’s why I think this program has so much potential. We just need support financially,” Isaiah said. “If we can get this money, we will keep fighting to keep this program going.”

Carmel Valley actress stars in ‘Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas’ for the third year BY KRISTINA HOUCK
La Jolla Cultural Partners
What started as a holiday tradition for Taylor Coleman and her family has since become an annual acting gig for the young Carmel Valley actress. For the third year, Taylor is starring as Cindy-Lou Who in The Old Globe’s 18th annual production of “Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas!” Based on the classic Dr. Seuss book, the show started Nov. 7. “It’s just fun to be in,” said 9-year-old Taylor. A fourth grader at Sage Canyon Elementary School, Taylor made her theatrical debut as Cindy-Lou Who in the musical in 2013. To prepare for her first theater audition, the then-7-year-old learned “Rainbow Connection,” a song featured in “The Muppet Movie.” Taylor said she is thrilled to return to Whoville for a third time. “I like that Cindy-Lou Who is so sweet,” she said. “She tries to make the

Grinch happy and she doesn’t give up trying.” Since her stage debut, Taylor has had other roles, including Minnie Oakley in San Diego Musical Theatre’s “Annie Get Your Gun.” Most recently she played Young Fiona in “Shrek The Musical” and Gracie Shinn in “The Music Man,” both produced by Moonlight Stage Productions. “I like being on stage and making people laugh sometimes with the lines that I get,” Taylor said. “I like telling a story.”
In addition to acting, Taylor dances with Royal Academy of Performing Arts and studies voice at NC Studios. A competitive gymnast since she was 6, she also continues to compete for SoCal TTC in Poway. With many talents, Taylor wants to be a singer or a veterinarian when she grows up. She enjoys the spotlight on stage, and Cindy-Lou Who has been her favorite role. “We would go to the show once a year, before Thanksgiving, as a family,”
explained Taylor’s mother, Karen Coleman. “ We thought she should audition. It was her first audition and her first show, and she fell in love with acting. Three years later, it’s like we’re in the Whoville family.” Directed by James Vásquez with book and lyrics by Timothy Mason and music by Mel Marvin, the musical runs through Dec. 26 on the theater’s Donald and Darlene Shiley Stage. The family-friendly show features the songs “You’re a Mean One, Mr. Grinch,” “Welcome, Christmas (Fah Who Doraze)” and “Santa for a Day,” Taylor’s solo. This year The Old Globe will once again offer a sensory-friendly performance of the show at 10:30 a.m. on Dec. 12. Following successful performances the past three years, the production is intended for children on the autism spectrum and their families, as well as other families with special needs.

Biz Spotlight: Chimney Sweeps protects homes BY MARTI GACIOCH Ahhh, the wonderful warmth … the crackling, popping sound of hot flames on resin … the sweet aroma of fragrant wood burning … colder temps are here and few things create a comfort zone more than a cozy night by the fireplace. But the real danger of a sudden chimney fire could quickly disrupt this idyllic scenario. Chimney fires are often caused by negligence, lack of structural maintenance and water damage. They start when residue deposits (creosote) begin burning on chimney parts like tiles, stovepipes, flues, etc. Fortunately, Chimney Sweeps can help prevent a costly chimney disaster. British-born master sweep Steven Carter, founded Chimney Sweeps in 1985. His family-owned and operated business serves all of San Diego County by providing annual chimney safety checks, chimney maintenance, and the repairs necessary to keep chimneys safe.
“Chimney fires are most common in brick chimneys and pre-fabricated chimneys,” explained Julian Carter, manager and son of the founder. “The average loss due to chimney/fireplace-related fires in the United States exceeds $100 million each year.” Unlike other home elements, homeowners rarely consider a chimney important too maintain, Carter said. therefore chimneys are often neglected or barely maintained. Deteriorated by seeping moisture, chimney obstructions (such as bird nests), smoke-damaged passages and loose masonry materials, it’s just a matter of time before a chimney fire occurs. Fortunately, annual safety checks and maintenance helps prevent far costlier repairs down the line. Water is another major threat to chimney safety, but waterproofing brick and mortar chimneys with appropriate sealant can prevent those materials from

“I hate when we go out to a customer’s house and they don’t realize their chimney’s been leaking a long time and is falling apart. Most people think it’s fine just sitting up
there on the roof — until they suddenly have a big bill to repair it,” Carter said. Chimneys Sweeps is now offering a special, full 14-point inside and out

I’malreadythere was an additional 3 1/4 lengths back in third. Ridden by Martin Garcia, the 2-year-old Toews On Ice completed the 7 furlongs on the dirt in 1:22.27. “Tougher race for him today, but he responded,” Garcia said of the colt. “That other horse (Mac Daddy Mac) got in front of him in the stretch for a little bit, but he dug in and went and got him. Changed his leads perfectly. He’s been a little green, but he did real well today. He’s a nice horse.” Toews On Ice is trained by Bob Baffert, and owned by part-time Del Mar resident Mike
Pegram, and Karl Watson and Paul Weitman of Tucson, Ariz. On Sunday, Lucky Folie prevailed by a half-length over Treasuring in the $100,000 Desi Arnaz Stakes for 2-year-old fillies.

Jeep Vehicle Hacked, Unwittingly Driven Into Ditch Imagine this. You’re driving on I-5 when all of a sudden your gas pedal is no longer responsive. Your wheel goes dead. You frantically check the gas meter – all looks fine. What just happened? A hacker turned off your vehicle. This isn’t a tale from Hollywood. In fact, it’s exactly what happened when a cybersecurity group of researchers used the internet to hack into a Jeep Cherokee’s computer system. Of course, the radio, equipped with the entertainment system UConnect, had all
th bells the bell and d whistl whistles a consumer could uld want… including WiFi and internet. And it was precisely those features that allowed hackers to get into the vehicle’s computer and command its steering, brakes and the engine. That’s an incredibly scary thought in this day and age as cyberattacks are nearly rampant. We’ve all heard of the security breaches at stores like Home Depot and Target; now, hackers can even take over a citizen’s car if they want to. The proverbial doors are wide open. The story original debuted at Wired magazine (7/21/2015). Among other things, researchers disabled the brakes of the Jeep Cherokee in question, driven by one of the technology reporters. The vehicle careened into a ditch as a result. Fortunately, the hack was controlled and no one was injured. Researchers didn’t stop there. They toyed with the vehicle’s radio, steering, horn and seat belt. They disabled the

brak thin was brakes. And what’s more, everything done on the fly, through the internet. Fiat Chrysler issued a software patch as soon as the issue became public. As a result of the potential threat, the manufacturer issued a recall for 1.4 million vehicles to address the bug. Fiat Chrysler owners don’t have to take in their vehicles for the patch; instead they will receive a USB drive with a software update they can do themselves right from the dash of their vehicle thanks in part to – that’s right – the internet. In a reassuring twist, the researchers did note that the hack was certainly not easy to perform. It took one year of sophisticated reprogramming including multiple attempts to actually hack the vehicle. So, the good news is that if you’re driving an affected Jeep according to the list below, you’re more than likely safe – for now. Of course, it’s a good idea to get your patch right away.
Affected vehicles ehicle include: includ • 2013-2015 MY Dodge Viper specialty vehicles • 2013-2015 Ram 1500, 2500 and 3500 pickups • 2013-2015 Ram 3500, 4500, 5500 Chassis Cabs • 2014-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Cherokee SUVs • 2014-2015 Dodge Durango SUVs • 2015 MY Chrysler 200, Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger sedans • 2015 Dodge Challenger sports coupes ABOUT MICHAEL PINES Michael Pines is a car accident lawyer located in San Diego, California.

pet of the week ChoColate, a 10-yearold American Staffordshire Terrier mix, is looking for a calm home to give her all the love she’s been missing. She was rescued by our Humane Law Enforcement team after spending her entire life outside on a heavy chain. She was in rough shape when she first entered our care, now that she has had a chance to recover, we’ve seen this shy, fearful girl blossom into a very affectionate companion. She takes her time getting to know new people, but once she feels comfortable, she loves to snuggle close and give kisses. Chocolate deserves a special home with a family who can be extra patient with her as she adjusts to her new surroundings and spoils her with all the love imaginable! Chocolate is available for adoption at the San Diego humane Society’s San Diego Campus at 5500 Gaines Street. To learn more about making her part of your family, please call (619) 299-7012.

NOTICE OF PETITION TO ADMINISTER ESTATE OF: HERMILLA MARIA IRWIN CASE NUMBER: 37-2015-00036125-PR-PW-CTL To all heirs, beneficiaries, creditors, contingent creditors, and persons who may otherwise be interested in the will or estate, or both, of HERMILLA MARIA IRWIN. A Petition for Probate has been filed by JOSEPH R. IRWIN in the Superior Court of California, County of SAN DIEGO. The petition for Probate requests that JOSEPH R. IRWIN be appointed as personal representative to administer the estate of the decedent. The petition requests the decedent’s will and codicils, if any, be admitted to probate. The will and any codicils are available for examination in the file kept by the court. The petition requests authority to administer the estate under the Independent Administration of Estates Act. (This authority will allow the personal representative to take many actions without obtaining court approval. Before taking certain very important actions, however, the personal representative will be required to give notice to interested persons unless they have waived notice or consented to the proposed action.) The independent administration authority will be granted unless an interested person files an objection to the petition and shows good cause why the court should not grant the authority. A hearing on the petition will be held in this court as follows: Date: DEC. 1, 2015 Time: 11:00 am Dept.: PC-1. Address of court: 1409 Fourth Avenue, San Diego, CA 92101. If you object to the granting of the petition, you should appear at the hearing and state your objections or file written objections with the court before the hearing. Your appearance may be in person or by your attorney. If you are a creditor or a contingent creditor of the decedent, you must file your claim with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. You may examine the file kept by the court. If you are a person interested in the estate, you may file with the court a Request for Special Notice (form DE-154) of the filing of an inventory and appraisal of estate assets or of any petition or account as provided in Probate Code section 1250.

Grandma Eva’s Apple Strudel
’Tis the season for naughty and nice questions From Thanksgiving till New Year’s Day, cooks and bakers across the land, whether seasoned ones or rookies, crank up their ovens, pull out their Mixmasters, roll up their sleeves, and scratch their heads with oodles of queries relating to techniques, ingredients, sources, food safety and gustatory moral dilemmas. So here are my answers to some of your naughty and nice questions.
“Grandma Sophie’s Famous Cherry Cheesecake.” Q. My sister-in-law always brings her chocolate chip cookies to my holiday gatherings. That’s sweet of her, but they are rock hard, and sometimes burned on the bottom. I really don’t want to serve them. Any suggestions to spare her feelings and save my guests’ teeth? A. They are probably burned on the bottom because she uses a dark-colored baking sheet (which absorbs more heat than light-colored ones) without parchment paper lining. A good holiday present for sis-in-law would be a new cookie sheet with a roll of parchment paper. As well, gently suggest that she swap out white sugar for brown, which makes cookies softer and chewier from the molasses content. Q. Can I use cheap wine in cooking? A. The age-old maxim, “Don’t cook with wine you wouldn’t drink,” still applies today. While you don’t need to cook with a fine bottle of La Fleur-Petrus ($350), you should not be using wine out of the box, either. Cheap wine typically has too much sugar content, and you don’t get the true flavor profile of the varietal. A middle-of-the-road wine between $6 and $10 is a good rule of thumb to follow. For
Naughty Ones
Q. I have an extensive collection of treasured family recipes from my grandmother’s eggplant Parmesan to pistachio biscotti. Friends and acquaintances are constantly asking me for these recipes, but I really want to keep them in the family vault to be passed down to our children. Should I just tweak the recipes a little, leaving out or changing certain ingredients, or just tell them I don’t do recipe sharing? A. Tsk, tsk. Grandma would probably not want you to purposely alter her recipes to save your family’s culinary secrets. Be sincere and explain your desire to keep these recipes sacred as part of your family’s legacy and heritage. In the holiday spirit of giving, perhaps you can part with one or two recipes, giving credit, of course, to the creator by naming the dish after them, such as,

Nice Ones
Q. Are there any nice, seasonal food-related gestures I can do for friends or family to show my appreciation for their lovely deeds throughout the year? A. Homemade goodies or healthy dishes are always wonderful expressions of gratitude. If someone you know has a bad cold or flu, it would be a kind and healing gesture to prepare a pot of immune-boosting soup with plenty of organic chicken, garlic, fresh ground ginger, turmeric and root vegetables. Bearing gifts of baked seasonal treats, such as cranberry pecan scones or muffins, pumpkin bread, gingerbread cookies, biscotti or shortbreads festively wrapped are always welcome. Or offer to do grocery shopping for a friend in need. All of the above would be much appreciated. Now here’s my Grandma’s Old World apple strudel recipe that I’d like to share with you and your family for the holidays and always.

Pacific Ridge freshmen donate bikes to nonprofit preschool program A group of Pacific Ridge freshmen recently donated five balance bicycles to the David and Jillian Gilmour Early Education Campus in Vista. The “pre-bikes” are built without pedals or training wheels. Young riders push along using their feet while developing crucial coordination skills that
make for an easy transition to two wheels. As part of a leadership unit in Pacific Ridge’s ninth-grade Service Learning Program, students worked in small groups to design, assemble, and hand-deliver each bike. They also spent time working with the children one-on-one, teaching the proper
technique for developing balance and having fun. The David and Jillian Gilmour Early Education Campus is operated by Early Education Enrichment Systems (EES), a nonprofit child development agency with locations in North County, San Diego, and the South Bay.
