the Village at Pacific High-lands Ranch project as a sale to new owner Coast Income Properties is nearly com-plete. The planned mixed-use development on Carmel Valley Road, across from Canyon Crest Academy, will see a new configuration of buildings, more residential units and the proposed movie theater has been re-moved from the plans.

Tom Blake, Coast In-come Properties founder and president, appeared be-fore the Carmel Valley Com-munity Planning Board on

Oct. 25 as his company is seeking the planning board’s approval on a substantial conformance review, which is a determination that the new project is in confor-mance with a previously ap-proved permit.

The Village at PHR was approved by the city in 2010 for 294 residential units, 195,000 square feet of retail and 2,189 parking spaces, generating 16,000 average daily trips (ADT).

The site also includes space reserved for a future city library and two acres of

Median paving wraps up on 101 BY CLAIRE HARLIN

The median paving and tree planting on Highway 101 was set to finish up on Oct. 29, said Solana Beach city planner Mo Sammak on Oct. 24 in an update to the City Council on the Highway 101 West-side Improvement Project.

The city launched a newsletter to facilitate communication be-tween the city and the business community, and the newsletter, which will also be posted on the City Hall kiosk and the city’s web-site, will focus on upcoming con-

struction activities so businesses know what to expect. The first of several twice-monthly newsletters from the city to local businesses went out on Oct. 30.

Sammak also introduced a new type of bike rack, personalized with the city’s logo, that the city decided to move forward with at the sugges-tion of a local bike advocacy group.

BY KAREN BILLINGCarmel Valley Community Planning Board Chair Frisco White addressed concerns

about his appearance on a mailer for San Diego County Board of Supervisors candidate Dave Roberts at the Oct. 25 planning board meeting.

The front of the mailer has a photo of White as a community leader in support of Rob-erts, which he approved, but he was unaware what the content would be on the back of the mailer. The back of the mailer shows a picture of several community members with Roberts and a statement: “Dave Roberts is the only candidate for County Supervisor who will pro-tect the character of our neighborhoods. Dave will stand with us against overdevelopment of the One Paseo site.”

The comment process on the Environmental Impact Report for One Paseo, a mixed-use development planned for El Camino Real and Del Mar Heights, is still ongoing and White clarified that he and the planning board have yet to take a position.

“I do not have an opinion on One Paseo at this time,” said White, noting he would not have an opinion until the final project has been vetted by the planning board.

Marcela Escobar-Eck, a representative for Kilroy Realty and the One Paseo project, was concerned with the perception the flier gave out.

“My clients were concerned about the perception that members of recognized plan-ning groups have already taken a position on the project,” Escobar-Eck said. “We just want-ed Frisco to acknowledge the perception it gave that the chair of the planning board is op-posed to the project. I’m glad that Frisco said what he did.”

A member of the Roberts’ campaign Steven Heverly, who was in attendance at the Oct. 25 meeting, apologized to White for the misunderstanding.

The One Paseo project is a city project and will not go before San Diego County Board of Supervisors. The San Diego City Council will approve or disapprove the development.

Bond would benefit all local schools in high school district, parent proponent tells boardBY KAREN BILLING

San Dieguito Union School District’s Proposition AA is just one of several school bonds that local residents will cast their vote on in the Nov. 6 election. Robert Na-scenzi, a SDUHSD parent, visited the Carm-el Valley Community Planning Board last week to generate support for the bond that will provide the district with 21st century classrooms as well as repair and upgrade schools.

The $449 million general obligation bond will cost the average district home-owner about $150 a year.

“The reason we chose to move here was because of the schools in this area,” Nascen-zi said. “[Prop AA] is really important for the future of our kids and our community. When you think about it, it supports our property values to have good schools in our community.”

The San Diego County Taxpayers Asso-ciation has also supported the SDUHSD bond measure.

All of the local district schools would benefit from projects supported by the bond, Nascenzi said.

One of the biggest beneficiaries would be Earl Warren Middle School. Nascenzi said when he moved here 15 years ago, there were concerns then about the condition of Earl Warren Middle School and very little has changed since that time.

The master plan for Earl Warren in-cludes replacing the existing school with a new school and maintaining the existing joint-use library.

The district’s plan also includes a new middle school in Pacific Highlands Ranch, next to Canyon Crest Academy, which will serve 1,000 students and help overcrowding at Carmel Valley Middle School.

The district intends to reduce enroll-ment at Carmel Valley Middle School from its current level of around 1,500 students to 1,000 students and reconfigure the Carmel Valley Middle School campus to ensure that the campus is fire safe, free of infrastructure problems, construct new drama and music buildings and update computer, math and science labs.

As Torrey Pines is approaching 40 years in existence, Nascenzi said people can only imagine the needs if you looked at the school like you would a 40-year-old house—he said the needs were illustrated by a water main break a few weeks ago.

Plans to improve Torrey Pines include science and technology upgrades, a renova-tion of the science facilities, upgrading the heating and air conditioning system, devel-oping new industrial arts and shops, and giving the campus a performing arts center. It is the only high school in the district without one.

Even though Canyon Crest Academy is the newest school, Nascenzi said they ran out of money when building it and were unable to build athletic fields and addition-al classes for science and technology. The master plan for CCA includes a new black box theater, repurposing the existing black box theater to industrial arts for a robotic See BOND, page 6

BY JOE TASHCounty supervisors have agreed to

study a partnership with the agency that runs the Del Mar Fairgrounds that could give the county some say in the fairgrounds’ operations, but not subject the county to any financial liability.

At its meeting on Wednesday, Oct. 31, the Board of Supervisors unanimously voted to direct the county’s Chief Administrative Officer to meet with “stakeholders” and come up with a recommendation on a part-nership with the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which oversees the state-owned fairgrounds.

The issue will come back before the Board of Supervisors in 60 to 90 days.

Adam Day, president of the 22nd DAA board of directors, initiated the partnership discussion in a letter to the county.

Supervisors said they believe the fair-grounds could benefit from the county’s management and financial expertise, but they insisted that no county money could be used on the fairgrounds or its operations.

“I’m cautiously optimistic with the pro-posal,” said Supervisor Pam Slater-Price, whose 3rd District includes the fairgrounds. “In my opinion, it could be very helpful to the 22nd DAA and operations there to have some county guidance.”

Slater likely won’t get to vote on the proposed partnership, as she will be step-ping down from the board in December af-ter serving five terms.

Day said he has been talking with Gov. Jerry Brown’s office and other state officials for several months about such partnership arrangements, with the goals of strengthen-ing local control of the fairgrounds, increas-ing transparency of fairgrounds operations, protecting the facility’s employees and pro-viding flexibility and freedom from state regulations and bureaucracy.

Currently, members of the 22nd DAA board are appointed by the governor. The issue of local control of the fairgrounds has gained increasing prominence since 2010, when Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger tenta-tively approved a sale of the fairgrounds property to the city of Del Mar as a way of raising money for the cash-strapped state. That proposal stalled after Brown took of-fice.

Del Mar Mayor Carl Hilliard spoke in favor of the proposal at Wednesday’s board meeting, and urged supervisors to include local jurisdictions affected by fairgrounds operations, such as the cities of Del Mar and Solana Beach, in the process of forming a proposal for local governance.

Also speaking in support of the propos-al was Assemblyman Martin Garrick.

The Board of Supervisors’ vote to study a partnership between the county and the Del Mar fairgrounds occurred just before press-time. A complete report on the board’s action will be included in next week’s paper.

County supervisors agree to consider a possible fairgrounds partnership — without financial liability

BY CLAIRE HARLINThere’s a proposal on

the table for San Diego County and the 22nd Dis-trict Agricultural Association to partner up in running the Del Mar Fairgrounds, and it’s got some locals thinking this could be the happy ending to a decades-long ef-fort to secure a local voice on the board.

Concerns that decisions made at the state-governed fairgrounds don’t always re-flect the best interest of the fair’s neighboring commu-nities — Solana Beach and Del Mar — are not new. Del Mar resident Bud Emerson is one of several local “fair watchers” who keep up with issues concerning the fair and have helped recruit a number of qualified candi-dates to apply for fair board positions. Six Del Mar appli-cants — including a former mayor, a former city manag-er and city attorney, and a retired judge who was once appointed by Gov. Jerry Brown to the Superior Court — have vied for board spots since Brown was elected last year, and all have been ve-toed far into the selection process. Candidates have also come forth from Solana Beach.

“We think there’s some-one in the inner circle who’s got the Governor’s ear and has a strong anti-Del Mar

bias,” Emerson said, adding that a “simple fix” would be to have two seats on the nine-member board that are designated for one resident appointed from Del Mar and another from Solana Beach.

“My thinking is that this new partnership pro-posal with the county is a potential opportunity, if the county negotiates with in-tegrity,” he said. “I’m sure the Governor has so many other things to worry about, which makes even more sense to have a local pro-cess.”

Longtime Del Mar resi-dent Peter Kaye, however, said Del Mar should be care-ful what it wishes for. Just because someone lives in Del Mar, doesn’t mean they would serve as a Del Mar ad-vocate. An author and for-mer journalist, Kaye wrote a newspaper op-ed years ago about Del Mar wanting its own seat on the board. In it, he interviewed his neighbor and friend, Brooks Parry, who was the last Del Mar resident to serve on the board.

He wrote that Parry, who passed away last month, considered herself a “director from Del Mar rath-er than Del Mar’s represen-tative on the board.

From 1986 to 1995, she was known on the board for

her passionate interest in agriculture and the junior livestock auction, however, she told Kaye in the inter-view for his op-ed that “fair board members should rep-resent the whole county and not just Del Mar.”

“Often, the [Del Mar City Council] is a faction that says ‘Do it my way or no way,’” she said, adding that she “tried not to have a pre-conceived point of view.”

She did say, however, that the fair board positions “are real political plums.”

“They’re more prized than judgeships or seats on the UC Board of Regents,” Kaye quoted her as saying in his column.

Kaye said this is be-cause “Del Mar really has no clout” to the Governor.

“There’s been bad blood between the city and the fair for 15 years or more,” he said. “What’s im-portant to the Governor is getting people on the fair board who will support him and become his political ally … In the case of Brooks, though, she was a real ex-ception … The people who backed her had agricultural interests.”

BY CATHERINE IVEY LEEToday’s students might be the smartest generation on

record. Their IQs are higher, their GPAs are numerical mas-terpieces, and their resumes are bursting with achievement.

But they are also the most stressed-out generation in re-cent history, warned parenting expert Michele Borba during a recent talk at The Bishop’s School on “Raising Self-Reliant Kids to Strive and Survive.” WeCare, a consortium of six in-dependent schools, including Bishop’s and La Jolla Country Day, sponsored the event.

“The American Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatrics are saying we have never seen such high level of stress in our kids,” said Borba, an educational psychologist and author of 23 books on parenting. Having gotten into prestigious colleges, many of today’s best and brightest feel overwhelmed, anxious and depressed once there, Borba said.

Alarmed college counselors have dubbed them, “Gener-ation Stress,” as well as “crispies” and “tea cups” — some students are burned out before college even begins while others break like china at the first failure they experience without a parent around.

It’s not just college students. In a survey at WeCare’s consortium schools, middle and high school students ranked “feeling pressure from their parents” and “time man-agement” as their top worries, according to the group’s chair, Jill Skrezyna.

Why are kids struggling? Borba blames today’s pressure-filled and competitive culture in part. In addition, she said that despite their best intentions, today’s parents can make things worse by protecting their children from setbacks.

“Researchers are saying that what would really help our children above all else is not just to have that IQ and smart-ness, but the ability to be able to bounce back when the in-evitable thing called a failing experience happens,” Borba said.

“If we rescue them along the way, we don’t build up

what’s called psychological immunity. So when the real tough stuff happens the kid just falls apart,” she said.

Borba believes a better way for parents to help their children is to teach them skills to withstand life’s storms such as self-reliance, resilience, perseverance, even grit – a catchall characteristic being touted in this fall’s bestselling book “How Children Succeed: Grit, Curiosity and the Hid-den Power of Character” by Paul Tough.

Borba’s advice for parents: 1) Start at home. Research shows that students with the

highest self-esteem and strongest sense of character were raised by parents who showed unconditional love and ac-ceptance, set firm, yet achievable expectations, and commu-nicated openly and respectfully. “Kids say their No. 1 pres-sure is to not let their parents down,” Borba said. “They need to know, ‘I love you and I like you for who you are,’

Generation Stress? Expert has advice on raising resilient, successful kids

Parenting expert Michele Borba speaks to parents about helping kids manage stress in a talk held at The Bishop’s School.

she said. ‘I accept your strengths but I can also identify your weaknesses.’ ”

2) Build coping skills. Don’t rescue children from disap-pointments and failures. “Help them to recognize that ‘I can make it and I can survive it,’ ” she said.

3) How you praise matters. Citing research by Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck, Borba said telling kids they are smart or did a good job on a test is “actually one of the worst things you can do.” Praising outcomes teaches chil-dren that their intelligence and ability to succeed is fixed. By praising effort instead, children see the value of hard work, which will help them for life.

4) Say no. Today’s children are used to getting what they want. But delaying gratification builds determination and perseverance skills. If they don’t really need something, stretch out how long children can wait for something or make them put it as a goal, Borba said.

5) Help kids manage stress. Techniques such as deep breathing or yoga helps children get through stressful times, while being organized helps them avoid them. Teach stu-dents how to prioritize homework goals, to manage time and to cut back on activities. “Kids are desperate for time management skills. Help them,” she said.

St. John Garabed Church, an Armenian church planned for El Camino Real, will be re-viewed by the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board’s regional issues subcommmitee meeting on Nov. 7 at 4:30 p.m. at the Carmel Valley Library.

The project came before the planning board for an update at its Oct. 25 meeting.The multi-phase project includes a 350-seat church, a 500-seat multi-purpose hall, a

cultural and education center and a youth center in a “village-like” cluster of buildings. At its highest the church will be 93 feet tall, the other two buildings will be 30 and 40 feet tall.

“We weren’t able to achieve the sacred proportions of Armenian church architecture, where the height is greater than the width, because of the setting,” said Dennis Hyndman, the architect for the project. “We feel we’ve done a good job changing the project but maintaining the traditional architecture that is important to Armenian people…Hopefully this project will enhance the community of Carmel Valley.”

According to Marcela Escobar-Eck, the land use planner for the site, the church has fo-cused its development to a mesa top on the land to minimize the impact on natural re-sources on the site. The hope is to restore the surrounding open space area, benefit the wildlife corridor and enlarge the wetlands area.

The access drive has proven to be the biggest challenges for the site, Escobar-Eck said. They tried to negotiate an easement using the neighboring Evangelican Formosan Church’s property but the church was unwilling to grant the easement. The access point will now be a driveway near the toe of the slope of the property. A short deceleration lane will be added for the entrance to the church and a short acceleration lane will be added for the right-only exit.

Natalie Hone is the new community relations officer at the San Diego Police Depart-ment’s Northwestern Division, replacing Officer Adrian Lee.

Lee received a special commendation from District 1 City Councilmember Sherri Light-ner for his service to the community over the last two years; Lee is transitioning to a new role as a sergeant.

Hone introduced herself at the Oct. 25 Carmel Valley Community Planning Board meeting, discussing a recent incident involving a Hispanic male who was spotted watching cross country team girls at both Torrey Pines High and Canyon Crest Academy campuses.

The suspect drives a 2007 Toyota Yaris and is described as 5”9, in his 30s, about 160 pounds and easily identifiable by his handlebar moustache.

“We know who he is and where he lives and we’ve been looking out and watching for him,” said Hone. “He knows that we’re watching him so we doubt he’s coming back to any schools around here.”

If he is spotted, or to make any other report of suspicious activity, call Northwestern Division at (858) 484-3154. Hone can be reached at (858) 523-7031 or by e-mail at nhone@pd.sandiego.gov.

BY CLAIRE HARLINSolana Beach is set to receive 140,000

cubic yards of sand on its beaches in early November as part of a $28.5 million region-al restoration project conducted by the San Diego Association of Governments (SAN-DAG).

Solana Beach is one of eight replace-ment sites along the county’s coast, with sand being borrowed from three offshore sites: Mission Beach, the San Dieguito La-goon off Del Mar, and off Swami’s beach near the San Elijo Lagoon, just north of So-lana Beach. The most sand was planned to be removed from the 124-acre dredge area off Del Mar’s coast, according to the project Environmental Impact Report, however, Del Mar chose not to receive more sand on its beaches due to fiscal decisions.

As of late October, equipment has al-ready been placed on the beaches around Fletcher Cove to start dredging, and SAN-DAG suggests using caution in the water and on the beach during this process. In ad-dition, the South Cardiff State Beach park-ing lot is being used intermittently through as late as mid-November, however, the work takes place at night while the parking lot is closed for public use.

The Regional Beach Sand Project, which kicked off in September and has already cul-minated in Imperial Beach and Oceanside, is funded by the five participating cities — So-

lana Beach, Encinitas, Carlsbad, Oceanside and Imperial Beach — as well as the state’s Department of Boating and Waterways. Ac-cording to SANDAG, Solana Beach’s contri-bution to the project is about $335,000 and comes at least in part from the California Coastal Commission Sand Mitigation Fund — which is collected from property owners to mitigate the adverse impacts of shoreline protective structures such as seawalls.

A nearly identical project took place in 2001, and Solana Beach Mayor Joe Kellejian said in a memo that this project builds on the success of that one.

“As the vice chair of the SANDAG Shoreline Preservation Working Group, I have led the effort since 2007 along with my coastal colleagues to implement a second beach replenishment project,” he said. “Since that time we have conducted the re-quired environmental review and obtained all of the permits and approvals needed to place sand back on the region’s eroded beaches. Representatives from various state agencies, including the California Depart-ment of Boating and Waterways, California Department of Fish and Game, California Coastal Commission, California state parks and many others came together for the ben-efit of the region and have worked tirelessly to make this project a reality.”

dents,” said Shelley Peter-son, assistant superinten-dent of instructional servic-es. “It’s a direct reflection of the work our teachers are doing at every grade level.”

API is also measured in district subgroups. Peterson singled out the performance of English learners (which make up 11 percent of the district) and students with disabilities (14 percent).

Over a three-year peri-od, the English learners have seen a 44-point jump in scores, up to 924 this year. In the students with disabilities subgroup, the district has seen a 13-point rise in scores to 832.

Eight out of 10 grade levels maintained or im-proved on the percent they scored proficient and ad-vanced.

District-wide students performing proficient or ad-vanced in English language arts (ELA) and math has in-creased steadily over the last three years. Overall the dis-trict is 92 percent proficient or advanced, high above the county average in ELA of 59 percent and 65 percent in math. Statewide the averag-

es are 58 percent proficient or advanced in ELA and 60 percent in math, reflecting that the state has a way to go before reaching 100 per-cent proficient by 2013-14 as mandated by No Child Left Behind.

In both areas, there is only 1 percent performing below basic.

“For a district to have 1 percent performing in far below basic is a phenomenal testament to the wonderful work our children do and that the teachers do at meet-ing their needs to continue being successful,” Peterson said.

Peterson was most ex-cited that 95 percent of the district’s fourth graders scored the highest possible scores on the writing tests. In 2011, 38 percent scored at an advanced level and this year that number leapt to 62 percent.

“That is phenomenal,” said Peterson. “Our focus in Del Mar has been writing…we’ve done a great deal of professional development for our teachers and that shows it’s really helping stu-dents. (The scores) show when you stay the course and choose a focus based on data, you get the results you were going after.”

Local middle and high school API scores were also up for the most part, with Canyon Crest Acade-my’s score highest in the county:• CCA’s 2012 growth API is 917, up from 910 in 2011 Base score. • Torrey Pines High

program, a new dance class-room, constructing a new two-story classroom build-ing for science labs, renovat-ing the athletic fields, con-structing a new all-weather track and synthetic soccer field with bleachers, as well as new varsity baseball and softball fields.

Manjeet Ranu, the Pa-cific Highlands Ranch repre-sentative on the planning board, said there are con-cerns in the community about why the proceeds from the bond would pay for a new PHR middle school when residents are paying Mello-Roos Commu-nity Facilities District (CFD) taxes to finance services like schools.

“There’s a feeling that there’s some double-dip-

ping,” Ranu said.John Addleman,

SDUHSD’s director of plan-ning and financial manage-ment, said Mello Roos is still part of the district’s bond program, but PHR’s CFD would not provide funding until 2019-20 in the amount of about $20 million.

Typically with planning for a new school, the state would supplement CFD funds with a matching grant, but Addleman said that the state is looking to discontin-ue that program.

He said the district can’t rely on state funding and they want to ensure that money is available when they need to build—they are hoping to start planning for the middle school in 2014 to be open in 2016.

The man in the photo at right is wanted for questioning in connection with a sexual as-sault at the Del Mar Fair-grounds (2260 Jimmy Durante Boulevard, Del Mar). The inci-dent happened Sept. 30 at around 6 p.m. The victim told deputies she met a man while outside waiting for a taxi. She walked with the subject to a re-mote area of the fairgrounds and was assaulted.

The victim reported the crime and detectives from the Encinitas Sheriff’s Station are seeking information from the public to identify the subject. No weapon was used and the victim sustained minor injuries.

The suspect was described as a white male; 20-25 years old; approximately 5’10” tall; heavy set with short, brown hair and a goatee. He was last seen wearing a gray shirt with the word “Navy,” and eyeglasses.

The picture above was taken from the Del Mar Fair-grounds surveillance. It is the policy of the Sheriff’s De-partment to not disclose the identity of victims in sexual assault cases. If you recognize this man, call the Sheriff’s Department at (858) 565-5200 or Crime Stoppers at (888) 580-8477. You can remain anonymous and be eligible for a $1,000 reward.

village community green.Blake aims to adapt that

plan so it “makes sense”— adding 105 to 110 residential units, deleting 40,000 to 45,0000 square feet of retail mostly by removing the the-ater, reducing the number of parking spaces and reducing the ADT by 20 percent.

Blake said they want to put a rush on the plans and get something built for the community as soon as they can.

“I’ve wanted to pur-chase this for years and got very serious about it 18 months ago,” Blake said. “We’re pretty excited about this project. I think it’s one of the best pieces of real es-tate in San Diego and we want to create something the community supports, some-thing the community uses and something that we can be proud that we did at the end of the day.”

Blake said he has already put out some feelers to poten-tial retail tenants and while he didn’t want to name names, he said those interest-ed are a “tremendous draw.”

“We can get started on the retail right away, that’s what’s driving the rush,” Blake said.

Blake said the main problem they had with the Village plan was the cinema. He said the use is too expen-sive to build, it generates a lot of trips and requires in-tensive parking. He said the plan was for it to be a bou-tique cinema and now that the similar Cinepolis has opened at Del Mar High-lands, there is no longer a need for it.

The residential units will be transferred in from neigh-boring sites that already have homes approved by the city. Coast Income is purchasing the two-acre “jelly bean” par-cel on Carmel Valley Road, which was approved for 60 units. Coast Income will

HIGHLANDScontinued from page 1

build only eight of those 60 units on the jelly bean and move the remaining 52 to the Village.

They are also purchasing a neighboring Taylor Morri-son development and bring-ing 57 of its excess units to the Village.

The design and architec-ture will remain as was origi-nally proposed and buildings will be a mix of one to six stories. The new plans reflect a 5-foot height increase over what was approved.

Also gone from the plans is the proposed seven-story parking garage that in-cluded two subterranean lev-els. Blake said the garage will be much smaller in scale, only three levels with none underground.

Blake said they are very excited about the opportuni-ties for the open space por-tion of the Village and hope to get input from the board and the public on what kind of amenities they would like.

One change that some board members and audi-ence members were unsure about is alterations to the proposed grocery store. Un-der the new plans, the 4,300-square-foot building tentatively tagged for a gro-cery store on the corner of Carmel Valley Road and Del Mar Heights Road has been split into two buildings, one intended for a smaller bou-

tique market, like a Trader Joe’s.

“I’m concerned at the loss of the grocery store be-cause it forces everyone in Pacific Highlands Ranch to continue to drive to Carmel Valley and PHR is supposed to be self-contained,” said resident Ken Farinksy.

Board members Chris-tian Clews and Debbie Lo-kanc also expressed their dis-appointment that the gro-cery store was removed.

Board member Manjeet Ranu reminded the board that Pardee Homes never committed to a grocery store and a restriction was never put into the project’s permit.

Resident Gary Levitt, also a commercial property developer, said that the mar-ket has changed. Had the project been built five years ago, a grocery store would definitely make sense. But that is no longer the case, he said.

“The Targets and Walmarts are eating the lunch of the standard super-market today,” Levitt said.

The planning board will review details of Coast Income Properties’ substantial confor-mance review at an upcoming regional issues subcommittee meeting, possibly on Nov. 7 before they go dark for the holidays.

board meeting over the years, referred to the way fair board members are cho-sen as “crony capitalism.”

“The reason the fair board is at the present time an unsuitable governing body is because its members are appointed by the Gover-nor after making a large contribution to the Gover-nor’s reelection campaign,” she said. “Democrat or Re-publican, they represent none of the millions of peo-ple impacted by their deci-sions.”

She said the elected city councils of San Diego, Del Mar and Solana Beach should each appoint a mem-ber to the board, the coun-ty’s Board of Supervisors should appoint a member, and other members may be appointed by agencies such as the Coastal Commission, the Water Quality Control Board and the Department of Fish and Game. She add-ed that nine board members are too many, and seven or five may be adequate.

“I would compensate the board members who serve to encourage their at-tendance at board meet-ings,” she added. “The fair board has a difficult time reaching a quorum.”

Emerson said he’d like to see the fair board use some sort of neighborhood impact report, which would be similar to the environ-mental review cities order before embarking on major

projects. He said he’d like the board to examine the ef-fects of traffic, noise, light and impact on the environ-ment in regard to their events and developments.

“Hopefully they would ask their staff what the im-pact would be in those ar-eas, so at least we know that they’ve considered it,” Em-erson said. “Even if they can’t fix it, we’d feel more respected if they actually considered it.”

He said there have been people on the board who are actually “anti-Del Mar, who go out of their way to make fun of Del Mar and talk about how difficult we are.”

“In most government agencies, you wouldn’t do that,” he said.

Emerson said the things that take place at the fair are mostly “good and good for the customers, but it’s like having a big party house on your block and they don’t understand that other peo-ple on the block live there too.”

“’I don’t want a skunk at the party,’ is the way they think,” he said. “If they had someone from Del Mar, at least there would be a fuller discussion.”

Kaye said that having a local member on the board would be “symbolic,” and that person may be able to influence the others on the board.

“But they are still only one out of nine votes,” he said.

Dr. Curtis Chan is smiling with great expectations for his 4th annual Great Hal-loween Candy Buy Back. The Buy Back helps local children unload the Halloween candy they don’t need for a good cause. The candy is donated to troops overseas and children are given $1 per pound (up to five pounds).

The Buy Back will be held on Thurs-day, Nov. 8, between 3-7 p.m. at Dr. Chan’s new dental office located at 12835 Pointe Del Mar Way in Del Mar, just west of Carm-el Valley Rd. The child must be present and must have or make a card for the troops in order to receive their cash. Each child will leave with a free toothbrush kit, to brush away any damage from the Halloween can-dy they kept.

Last year the drive was a big success, collecting 2,298 pounds. A whopping 948 pounds came from the dental buy back, with partners Santa Fe Christian collecting 570 pounds and Ralph’s donating 780 pounds. Santa Fe Christian will again run a candy collection.

Beanie babies and small stuffed animals are also collected along with candy, and children will receive an extra prize for donating a stuffed animal. Over 200 beanie babies were collected last year. The troops often use candy and beanie babies to connect with local children in the area they are serving.

Again this year, military serviceman will be at the Candy Buy Back so in addition to writing a heartfelt card, the chil-dren can personally say “Thank you” and show appreciation for their service.

Dr. Curtis Chan’s new dental office location: 12835 Pointe Del Mar Way Suite #3, Del Mar, CA 92014. For more infor-mation, call (858) 481-9090 or visit www.curtischandds.com

BY JEANNE MCKINNEYThis column presents

“Patriot Profi les” to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes.

The stormy pasts of a historic aircraft and the last pilot trained to fly her run in close parallel. The Marine Corps’ CH46 helicopter and Captain Zerbin Singleton are both testaments to gritty survival — their exteriors pierced with extraordinary trials – their interiors strong-holds of extraordinary tri-umphs.

Singleton lives “open to opportunity.” Like the CH46, he’s seen a rougher side of life. Embracing op-portunity has joined him with the legacy of the CH46 Sea Knight, a war horse of the sky that has carried as-sault troops and supplies and rescued the wounded dating back to 1966. He dis-covered when he took the plunge to serve his country that he would take on this battle-tested aircraft, which calls for the boldest and brightest to command her controls.

Sometimes life tramps hardest on the boldest and brightest. Even with the most careful piloting, you can be taken down and your remains scattered. There’s a place called Helicopter Val-ley, Vietnam, where five CH46’s crashed in one day — killing many Marines, dusting the ground with their courage. The footprints

Singleton has left through-out his life reveal another kind of bravery as he forged through his own fires.

Born in An-chorage, Alas-ka, Singleton grew up with only his mother, a drug addict. He saw do-mestic vio-lence, drugs in the home and was, at times, homeless. When his mother was in jail, he moved in with an aunt and cousins who lived in Georgia and continued his schooling.

When Singleton finally got the chance to meet his father, who left before he was born, he went in with a positive attitude. “We start-ed growing our relationship and visited each other. I never held a grudge against him.” He believes, “How can I ask God for forgive-ness if I can’t forgive oth-ers?”

Flying was fascinating for this recently promoted Captain, who always want-ed to be a pilot. After high school, “I was looking for schools with Division I foot-ball and aerospace engineer-ing – two things that usual-ly don’t go together. I was also seeking a scholarship.”

He gravitated to the Naval Academy over the Air Force Academy because of the excitement of being able to land on a ship. “When I

visited there, I loved it.” Singleton was accepted

and played Slot Back for the Naval Academy. He was part

of the team in 2007 when

the “Mids” beat the N o t r e D a m e “ I r i s h , ”

breaking a 43-year losing

streak. His future looked bright – he was em-bracing opportunity and chasing his dream, when his war-torn past resurfaced.

While only a freshman (or plebe), his stepmom called around Christmas-time saying his father had committed suicide. “It was a very hard thing to encoun-ter.” Then, he lights up the room saying, “I know that God won’t bring me to something he won’t bring me through.”

Using faith as his guide, Singleton made it through a fog of despair – keeping an eye on his horizon, which was learning how to fly.

“Flight school was pret-ty demanding – countless hours, lots of things to re-member and task satura-tion,” he said.

Instructors train stu-dents to be able to perform in stressful and emergency situations. For an average untrained citizen, catching a flight in a CH46 training sequence would be hair-rais-ing. Being a passenger in a

combat situation would be unimaginably frightening.

Many hours of practice gives Singleton the “muscle memory” he needs to transi-tion his skills from the train-ing ground to the battle-field.

“Out flying, your worst enemy is probably yourself. A majority of the mishaps in current aviation are pilot -induced. Things like not knowing your weight and balance properly, so you don’t have enough power to execute the mission, not paying attention to the weather, vertigo, or not knowing the limitations of your aircraft all come into play.”

“The biggest adjust-ment is counter-intuitive,” he states, “you have to rely on instruments. It might look like you’re sideways, but your instruments say you are flying straight. So you have to trust.”

After four years fusing his path with that of the CH46, the Marine Corps is phasing out this well-used servant. The last CH-46’s went out with a Marine Ex-peditionary Unit (MEU) which deployed to Afghani-stan only weeks ago. Saying farewell is “almost bitter-sweet” because Singleton thinks it’s “cool to be able to fly a different aircraft.”

Perhaps it’ll be a Super Cobra attack helicopter or

“Best of”

BY KAREN BILLING

Local resi-dent Ron Lif-ton ran the Je-rusalem Half Marathon for Team SHALVA last year, rais-ing funds and awareness for SHALVA, a nonprofit or-ganization for children with physical and mental chal-lenges in Isra-el.

After run-ning those 13.1 miles for SHALVA, Lif-ton wanted to take his in-v o l v e m e n t one step fur-ther and brought the organization’s founder, Kalman Samuels, to San Diego last week for a fundraising reception at his Carmel Valley home.

“Ron understood we were a great organization nobody knew about,” Samuels said. “He opened his heart and home and went the extra mile to share the message.”

Founded 22 years ago, SHALVA currently serves 450 fami-lies with free programs that are filled to capacity. They have a budget of $4 million a year; $1.1 million comes from the gov-ernment in “dibs and dabs,” but SHALVA is tasked with rais-ing the rest.

The organization has a big project in the works with the new SHALVA National Children’s Center, a $46 million, 200,000-square-foot facility in Jerusalem that would be the largest in the world for children with disabilities.

When Lifton decided to participate in the Jerusalem Mar-athon, he wanted to take part for both the challenge of the run but also to benefit a local organization and in his search he found SHALVA.

He joined Team SHALVA for extra motivation and raised $3,600 for the organization.

Lifton had the opportunity to meet Samuels at a pre-race pasta party in Jerusalem last year.

“Nobody knew about SHALVA in California,” said Lifton. “I set a challenge to him to try and change that, that’s why he’s here.”

The birth of SHALVA came out of Samuels’ own family tragedy.

Samuels is not Israeli, he was actually born in Vancouver, Canada. In 1970, he went to Europe planning to study French and while touring abroad he visited Israel.

“I kept delaying my trip home and at the end of the day I never left,” Samuels said, noting he was drawn to the histo-ry of his roots and eventually decided to become a Rabbi.

He met and married his wife Malki and they had two children together. When their son Yossi was 11 months old, he went in for his DPT (diphtheria, pertussis (whooping cough) and tetanus) vaccine. It turned out that there had been a problem with the vaccine and Yossi was left blind, deaf and very hyperactive.

The family had two more children and Malki was strug-gling to take care of Yossi on her own, especially as he was liv-ing in a “closed world with no one able to penetrate his bub-ble.” Malki made a vow to God that if he helped Yossi, she would dedicate herself to helping others.

The Samuels received their miracle when Yossi was 8 years old. A deaf teacher named Shoshanna Weinstock was able to make a breakthrough with Yossi, spelling words into his hands in the same way Annie Sullivan had reached Helen Keller. The first word he learned was “shulchan” — Hebrew for table.

“He lit up,” said Samuels. “Suddenly he could communi-cate…His thirst for knowledge was insatiable. I remember when he knew 10 words, then he knew 40, and then 100.”

Suddenly he was no longer in a bubble.Malki and Samuels knew that it was “payback time,” that

they had to make good on their vow with God and get to work helping others. In 1990, they founded SHALVA in a sev-en-story facility on a scenic hill with just 10 children in an af-ter-school program.

Soon people were banging on their doors and SHALVA grew by leaps and bounds.

As parents of a special needs child, they knew what fel-low parents and children needed.

“All of the programs stem from a mother’s wish,” Samu-els said.

Programs include rehabilitative day care for children 18 months to 4 years old, an extended day school program for children ages 6-21, and a graduate social program for those who have graduated from the after-school program.

Additionally, their “Me and My Mommy” program al-lows mothers to participate in therapy of all kinds and forge bonds with their children, as well as meet mothers going through the same experiences.

“They just get put back on their feet,” said Samuels of parents who may feel helpless, depressed or defeated—he said mothers travel from as far as three hours away to participate in the program and there is a waiting list to get into the pro-gram.

The center also offers overnight and weekend respite—there is room for 20 children to sleep over and provide their family with 36 hours of free time (over 56 hours on the monthly Sabbath weekend).

“The respite is unique,” Samuels said. “It’s a great gift to the whole functionality of the family.”

All of these programs are free and 150 staff members and 180 eager and devoted volunteers help make the center run. Lifton was inspired on his visit to the center, especially by the caring staff.

“At SHALVA, you just feel the happiness.” Lifton said.Samuels happily reported that Yossi turned 36 last week,

a day before he flew to San Diego. Although he can’t see or hear and uses a wheelchair to get around, he is very active and still has the same thirst for knowledge. He has a newspa-per read to him daily, rides horses, can communicate on two hands at the same time and — as a “car freak” — can identify a car just by touching its door handles.

In April of this year, Yossi met with former British Prime Minister Gordon Brown and in December 2007, he met Presi-dent George W. Bush at the White House.

“He’s a busy, busy young man,” Samuels said.About five years ago, the Israeli government approached

Samuels with the opportunity to add on to SHALVA with a 7-acre property in the heart of Jerusalem.

Samuels said they will be able to serve so many more children and families with amenities such as an enhanced sports center, room for 100 children to stay overnight, and a life skills training “town” featuring places like stores and banks where participants can be trained to work.

The facility is surrounded by 6 acres of park space that will be fully adapted for the use of challenged individuals.

“The goal of the park is one magical word called ‘inclu-sion’,” Samuels said, noting a recent study showed over 50 percent of the public still feel uncomfortable and do not want to be around people with disabilities. “We want to have peer inclusion, that’s very important and stressed in the world of education today…we’re working hard to break down stereo-

Canyon Crest Academy Envision Theatre will present William Shakespeare’s “Love’s Labour’s Lost,” guest direct-ed by Jason Maddy, from Nov. 8 –Nov. 17.

This is a story of the King of Navarre, who has sworn three friendly lords and a flamboyant Spaniard to an oath of three years to study with little food and forsake the company of women, with the aim “to know which else we should not know.”

All is set for the journey, until the princess of France and her entourage of landed ladies arrive on embassy to reclaim the Aquitaine for the king, her father. The game is afoot! It is a battle of wits and wills! Who will win — the honor or the heart? Mix in a crew of local villagers straight out of Commedia Del Arte to stir up the plot and you have one of Shakespeare’s most beloved comedies.

The community is invited to attend. The shows will take place at the Canyon Crest Black Box Theater at 5951 Village Center Loop Road, San Diego.

Show times are at 7 p.m. on Nov. 8-10 and Nov. 16-17. On Thursday, Nov. 15, the show time is 4 p.m.

Cost is $15 for adults and $8 for students.Tickets may be purchased online at http://www.cca-envision.org/events.html Envision Theatre is funded by the Canyon Crest Academy Foundation, a parent-led 501.c.3

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

My name is Tamara and I am a resident of Solana Beach. As a cancer patient, I wit-nessed first-hand the need for reasonable regulations like Proposition W. In 2008, I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was 35 years old with a nine-month-old breastfeed-ing son. The cancerous tumor in my breast was five centimeters in diameter with lymph nodes also affected. I was immedi-ately started on chemotherapy. Within a week I had lost my hair and 10 pounds. I suffered from nausea, sleep deprivation and pain caused by the chemotherapy.

It was my oncologist who wrote my recommendation for medical marijuana.

I purchased the medical marijuana at a dispensary in the neighborhood where we were living. The dispensary was clean, the staff was compassionate and informed, and the marijuana products were neatly dis-played for me to examine.

The medical marijuana immediately re-stored my appetite and stopped the weight loss. It relieved my nausea and stopped the sleep deprivation. Cannabis oil also re-lieved my bone pain caused by the chemo-therapy.

Over the course of a year, I had a bilat-eral mastectomy and 29 lymph nodes were removed. My cancer was found to be caused by a hereditary gene, BRCA-2, which also causes ovarian cancer, so my ovaries were removed as a preventative measure.

By the end of 2009, I was declared can-cer free; I thought my ordeal was over.

Things changed again at the end of 2011, I was suffering with all sorts of back-pain and was very frail. After falling on the way to the bathroom, I went to see a doctor. The cancer was back, in my bones and my liver. The doctor put me back on chemo-therapy.

The pain was unbearable. I was up to 1800 milligrams of Ibuprofen and morphine twice a day. The pain and morphine left me lethargic. My son was 3 years old, and I couldn’t play with him, I couldn’t be there

for him. I had been blogging about my experi-

ence, when someone wrote in and suggest-ed I try hemp oil.

Within three days of starting hemp oil, I was off all medication – I was off the Ibu-profen, I was off of the morphine. The can-cerous cell count in my liver dropped dra-matically. Within a month, I was off of the chemotherapy. The hemp oil saved my life.

I stopped using the hemp oil in August 2012. The cancer was in remission, and be-sides with all of the closures of all of the dis-pensaries in San Diego County, I no longer had access to the hemp oil. Within two months, the bone cancer had aggressively returned.

Marijuana is medicine – it stops the pain, it allows me to rest, it keeps my appe-tite up, not to mention that it stopped tu-mor growth. It gave me the strength and motivation to return to life.

My son is now 4 years old. I want to be there for him, I want to be an awake, atten-tive mother. Allowing me access to medical marijuana allows me to be there for my hus-band and my son.

With the help of medical marijuana, maybe I can beat cancer again, but even if I can’t, I want to be awake and present for ev-ery moment with my family, not sedated and aloof from the constant pain.

It’s hard for me to drive far. I can go down the street to the CVS in Solana Beach for other drugs. Why can’t patients have this access to medical marijuana in our town?

Proposition W would allow cancer pa-tients, like me, in and around Solana Beach to have access to the medicine we need, through a very limited number of discreet, tightly regulated, dispensaries in our com-munity.

For the loved ones in your life, who may one day need access to marijuana med-icine, please vote “Yes” on Prop W.

Elections are about choices. When Del Mar and Carmel Valley residents cast votes on Prop CC on Nov. 6, we will be making a choice that will have a profound impact on our schools, our students and our communi-ty for many years to come. A “Yes” vote pro-vides our local schools with a protected source of locally-controlled funding that can only be used for our local schools. A “No” vote leaves our local schools depending on Sacramento to get its act together and ade-quately fund education. Since Sacramento has been unreliable, virtually all of our neighboring school districts have passed bond measures in support of their local schools.

A column by Marsha Sutton in this newspaper last week blatantly mischaracter-ized Prop CC and made egregiously false ac-cusations that indicate a limited under-standing of this measure and the rules that govern GO bonds. Prop CC is just too im-portant for the 4,353 students who attend the Del Mar Union School District (DMUSD) to let Sutton’s piece stand. Here are the facts.

May Prop CC funds be used to create relief for the District’s General Fund bud-get? Is this legal?

Yes. The expenditures laid out in the wording of Proposition CC are specifically authorized by Proposition 39, passed by Cal-ifornia voters in 2000. Prop 39 is intended to “implement class size reduction, (and) to ensure that our children learn in a secure and safe environment.” While Proposition 39 bond funds cannot be applied to teacher or staff salaries or benefits, they can cover any building and facility needs that might otherwise need to be paid for out of the Dis-trict’s General Fund. As such, a legal and le-gitimate use of Proposition 39 bond measure funds — like Proposition CC — is to relieve financial pressure on a school district’s gen-eral fund. This is why it has become com-mon practice for school districts to use bond funds to maximize the efficient use of scarce instructional funding.

Does Prop CC address immediate and critical needs? Aren’t our schools in good shape?

Our local schools are in relatively good shape. Should we wait until they are falling apart to plan for their upkeep and repair? Can we expect our schools to remain among the best in California if we let them degrade and allow mounting facilities costs to erode funds for educational expenditures?

Of course not. Prop CC represents forward-thinking

planning to accomplish two important ob-jectives: (1) address safety and infrastructure needs without taking money from instruc-tional programs that already suffer from budget cuts, and (2) secure a stable source of locally controlled funding to maintain our classrooms, implement modern technology and maintain quality schools in the years to come. Bear in mind that this bond will car-ry us decades into the future, when all of our schools will be in need of upgrades and maintenance. This is why many school dis-tricts build a general obligation bond fund-ing program to extend over a number of years.

Will Prop CC pay for technology with a short lifespan?

Less than 7 percent of Prop CC funds

will be used for such technology. Many of the bond expenditures will be for network infrastructure and systems that have a much longer lifespan than technology devices. Provisions relating to Proposition 39 state that “We need to make sure our children have access to the learning tools of the 21st century like computers and the Internet.” Without Prop CC, expenditures on networks and technology will take away from funding for teaching and instruction, which are al-ready impacted by ongoing state budget re-ductions.

Is Prop CC the result of a thorough planning process?

For many years, DMUSD has been grap-pling with the writing on the wall: school funding that we have counted on before is now declining. The district formed a Finan-cial Task Force three years ago that made two major recommendations: spend down the reserves and seek alternate sources of funding for a long-term fix. The district then spent nearly two years developing a strategic plan to provide a vision for the fu-ture of our schools and a clear set of priori-ties. During this process, it became clear that DMUSD could not maintain its re-nowned status as one of the highest-achiev-ing school districts in California while ab-sorbing deep funding cuts if it did not se-cure a protected source of funds to address facility, technology and equipment needs. Prop CC emerged from this thorough plan-ning process. An independent survey of lo-cal residents indicated strong community support for this type of local funding mea-sure. As a result, the DMUSD Trustees opted to give local voters the chance to vote in Prop CC on Nov. 6.

Space allotted by the newspaper does not permit a full discussion of the false-hoods perpetrated by Sutton about Prop CC. Here is the bottom line: state budget cuts have very real impacts on our local class-rooms. Without Prop CC, a drastically re-duced budget will have to cover both in-structional needs and facility, technology and equipment costs. Local kids currently attending our schools will be the first to suf-fer. Then the well-known quality of our lo-cal schools will diminish. And the value of our homes will be next.

Our community has a lot riding on the outcome of Prop CC. We hope that you will study the facts and recognize that without an alternate source of funding, the Del Mar Union School District will be forced to alter the classroom environment that has educat-ed generations of our most important lega-cy: our children. As parents and taxpayers in the community, we urge our fellow citi-zens not to let that happen.

entQuality Del Mar Schools, Yes on CC

Prop CC: Real questions and honest answersDo you want to make a difference in your local commu-

nity? Do you want to protect the quality of education in your public schools? Do you also want to protect the quali-ty of the public school facilities for your children? Do you hope our children living within our community have a bet-ter future? By voting Yes to CC, you support our children, their future and your community. Now is the time!

This community is based on the quality of education provided by our school districts. Many of you who live in this community moved to this area because you believe that the quality of education provided by our school districts is excellent. Our local elementary school district has put the bond measure Proposition CC on the ballot and is thereby actively telling our community that it needs us to vote Yes on Proposition CC in order to protect and maintain this excel-lent quality.

By voting Yes to Proposition CC, you are providing saf-er, more modern schools for our children within our com-munity. You are allowing for the improvement of technolo-gy and you are updating aging classrooms. This language as to what Proposition CC provides is taken directly from the Proposition CC Bond Measure. The Del Mar Union School District is telling our community that now is the right time and that we need to vote Yes for our children.

The District’s Executive Director of Financial Services advised that solutions to projected budget challenges must be found. She has recommended that the Del Mar Union School District identify cuts to reduce the budget’s “structur-al imbalance.” The school board has responded by analyz-ing budget solutions, including furlough days, an increase of current classroom ratios, hiring freezes, reorganization of li-brary services, and many other possibilities. All this is out-lined in the board meeting packet of Sept. 19, 2012.

One of the main objectives of the bond measure is to support the overall savings to our District’s General Fund. The District’s General Fund is currently used to support our children’s classroom education and the District’s principal public education mission. It is in our community’s best in-terest to keep the General Fund at safe levels in order to con-tinue to support our children’s classroom and not direct the General Funds elsewhere. Without additional funds, the Del Mar Union School District will be forced to pull money from the General Fund for expenditures like maintenance and fa-cilities needs. If our community is forced to receive a re-duced school year or increase classroom sizes for our chil-dren, we will no longer be able to say that the quality of ed-ucation we provide to our children is excellent.

It should give our community great comfort that there are many taxpayer protections in place within the bond measure. There is an independent oversight committee. We are also guaranteed that the money raised will stay within our local community. Notably, the bond funds are to be used solely to implement the detailed school project lists for each of the schools within the Del Mar Union School Dis-trict and not for any other purpose.

There is also a lot of discussion about how Propositions 30 and 38 will affect our community. These Propositions are very important in maintaining the quality of education for our children. We need to research these issues and make an informed decision. If neither Proposition 30 or Proposition 38 pass, we will witness further cuts to educa-tion funding and our children within our community will clearly suffer. Those cuts will be enacted during this current school year.

Our community continues to feel the hardships of the fiscal crisis. We want a solution. Voting at the State level will help our community and may alleviate some of our lo-cal issues on the educational cutbacks but they are simply not enough for our community’s standards of excellence. This is yet another reason as to why we must vote Yes to Proposition CC. Its a local measure where we can make a difference and protect the quality of education within our local School District. Now is the time to let your voice be heard. Please vote Yes on Proposition CC.

The Great Wall of Del Mar: So much for sunrise through the Torrey Pines

Del Mar’s City Council made four attempts at a commu-nity master plan in the past 13 years, and each time the community identified parking as the most immediate issue.

But Proposition J does not include a parking structure, adds only 30 parking spaces (Village Specific Plan, p. VII-9), and obtusely reduces Camino Del Mar to two lanes with roundabouts to do it.

The transition to one lane at 9th crushes northbound evening traffic, 15th’s signal jams northbound traffic into the roundabouts, and smart drivers pop the escape hatch and divert to Stratford and Crest. I commute and live on Stratford, between 13th and 15th – Del Mar’s busiest resi-dential street.

And two-story development on Camino Del Mar’s west side? On or west of Stratford Court, that’s three stories – the Great Wall of Del Mar. So much for sunrise through the Tor-rey Pines.

Proposition J contains two big prizes for the City Coun-cil – it removes residents’ right to vote on new development (Measure B), and it authorizes 220,000 square feet of new residential and commercial space. The Council may have to listen to voters, but won’t have to respond to them. Can you say steamroll?

Del Mar residents do not want to give up veto power over the City Council, not me, not my neighbors who have tirelessly volunteered and reached into their pockets to do-nate $16,336 to defeat Proposition J.

Vote no on Proposition J. Mike and Lisa Uhrhammer Stratford Court

A Community Plan is a statement of goals, objectives and policies that embody the community’s vision of its desired fu-ture. The Del Mar Community Plan as approved by the Del Mar electorate in 1976 has a vision and simply stated had a plan for the Village of Del Mar… “Focus major retail and office activity into an economically viable, pedestrian oriented and attractive area that serves the needs of both residents and visi-tors and is well integrated into the residential.”

I think both proponents and opponents of Prop J would agree that our downtown Village has not lived up to this vi-sion. Here we are, 36 years after the approval of the Communi-ty Plan and we still do not have contiguous or safe sidewalks, we do not have a pedestrian friendly street, we do not have ec-onomically viable shops and services nor attractive buildings from one end of town to the other, we lack quality public park-ing, traffic is snarled on Camino Del Mar many times a week diverting traffic into the residential areas and we still have not integrated our commercial and residential at all.

As a matter of fact, nothing has been developed since the Plaza in 1986 except a few sidewalk cafes. Our Village and vi-sion for it has been at a standstill for more than 25 years and in my view, standing still is the same as going backwards. I be-lieve the time has come to reaffirm our vision for the Village of Del Mar and implement a plan to achieve it. I believe the Vil-lage Specific Plan as proposed by Proposition J is the plan to ac-complish this goal.

I reached this conclusion by attending and participating in more than 50 public meetings during the creation of the Village Specific Plan and more than 40 public meetings during the Form Based Code initiative. Through this process, I heard firsthand the desires, vision and concerns expressed by many of our neighbors. I have studied and analyzed the Village Spe-cific Plan as a member of the Design Review Board and through my service on the Traffic and Parking advisory com-mittee. I have read and analyzed every revitalization study un-dertaken by the City and its many volunteers over the years. As a result, there is no doubt in my mind that this Village Spe-cific Plan meets the goals and objectives of the Community Plan and all the other studies undertaken by the City since. As important, it also responds to each and every request and con-cern raised during the yearlong outreach to the community.

I will vote Yes for Prop J because I believe it will progress Del Mar into the future with a more economically viable and pedestrian-friendly downtown. I believe the concerns of over-development, view protections and traffic congestion can and will be monitored and controlled through our design review ordinance and the other protections built into the plan.

I support the Village Revitalization Plan not for me or for now but for our future and the future generations of Del Mar. Let us make it better for them. Vote Yes on Prop J and support the vision for village revitalization.

Al CortiDel Mar Resident and DRB Member

Support vision for the Village of Del Mar — Proposition JThere are many reasons that I am voting No. One reason is

the poorly designed roundabouts with traffic lights on either end of a six-block stretch. This is bound to cause gridlock in the single traffic lane in each direction. The result of this will be cut through traffic using our residential streets to avoid the clogged Camino del Mar (CDM) traffic lanes. There will be the increase in emergency response time especially in the south part of town. There is the extraordinary increase in the pro-posed development in our very small town ( 220,000 addition-al square feet). There is the increase in height from 14 feet to 26 feet on the west side of CDM that the 1976 Community Plan expressly prohibited. There is the glaring lack of a finan-cial plan, a plan based on elusive promises from the Council.

The character and charm of a family-friendly Del Mar that drew us all here will be destroyed.

This is only part of my laundry list of reasons. But I want to mention one issue that is extremely troubling. For almost 30 years I have been involved in our community. I have always worked for an open transparent government. This plan hides some critical information within its 300-plus pages and the Council has chosen not to inform us of these facts.

We are being told by proponents that with this plan the community will have control over future development in the downtown. But should J be approved after the people vote:

1. A council vote can change the boundaries of the plan that were voted on.

That means that a property can be added or removed from the VSP even after the public voted.

2. A council vote can remove the public facility designa-tion from the city hall site.

That means that the site can become commercial and be allowed to have between 68,000 and 102,000 square feet of de-velopment and the buildings can be 26 feet tall from CDM.

This will result in negative financial and quality of life im-pacts for the neighboring residential properties.

3. The previous community vote on the Del Mar Plaza property will be changed by this vote. The Union Bank build-ing lot which is now part of the Plaza Specific Plan will be re-moved from that plan and become part of the VSP. That means that it can have up to 18,684 square feet of development on that little lot at an already very busy corner. That would make the development equal to one-quarter of the entire Plaza. Cur-rently it has 5,300 square feet of development. Quite a differ-ence. What will happen to Starbucks, Brueggers and the Union Bank?

It seems to me that since an earlier vote of the community will be changed with this vote, this information should have been highlighted by the Council and not be buried somewhere. There should have been public discussion on this item alone. There wasn’t.

This plan is too complex with the potential of too many unforeseen dire consequences. Please join me in voting No on J and Save Olde Del Mar.

Brooke Eisenberg-Pike, Del Mar

Among many other reasons that I oppose Prop. J, the two I find most troublesome are: 1) Proposition J would override the provisions of Prop B, formally known in the Municipal Code in Chapter 30.54 as the Overlay Zone: Downtown Initiative (DI-OZ).(See http://www.delmar.ca.us/Government/Municipal%20Code/Chapter_3054.pdf ). This voter-approved ordinance prohibits large developments without a vote of our residents. With the nullification of Prop B, the public will have no further say in what happens to our downtown except to the extent the Council may be willing to listen to us. If we have a pro-development Coun-cil as we do now, there will be no way to stop major devel-opments and our little village will be gone forever.

2) While the 10-foot-wide sidewalks — outlined as part of the traffic plan in the VSP —look appealing, nothing has yet been designed, as was pointed out each time questions were asked at the open meetings. If one looks at the illustra-tions in the publicity materials for the VSP, those 10-foot sidewalks accommodate landscaping, benches, pedestrians and continuous sidewalk cafes, just as our once very wide sidewalk on the south side of 15th Street does. With 45,000 square feet reserved for new restaurants, what will become of our village? Who says the VSP isn’t primarily for develop-ers?

Who says the VSP isn’t primarily for developers

Why I am voting NO on Prop J

Prop J’s changes to Camino del Mar will improve our traffic flow. Engineers calculate the current flow capacity of existing Camino del Mar at 15,500 average daily trips. Cur-rent flow rates are 17,000 to 18,000 ADTs. The present con-figuration of Camino del Mar is already broken. That’s why Camino is congested. The two-lane and roundabouts plan will increase its capacity to 25,000 ADT. These changes will fix what’s broken.

Moreover, the Village Specific Plan will require the City to monitor traffic volumes along Luneta, Stratford, Crest and other streets. The City will also set aside $100,000 to construct traffic control devices to stem any increase in traf-fic off Camino del Mar along these side streets.

But engineers do not expect traffic to seek these alter-nate routes because replacing the 9th Street traffic signal and the 11th and 13th stop signs with roundabouts will in-crease Camino del Mar’s flow capacity, reducing travel times. An actual travel time survey conducted by the City shows, if traffic is allowed to flow smoothly without stop-ping from Del Mar Heights Road to 15th Street, the quickest travel time is on Camino del Mar, not Luneta, not Stratford, and not Crest. Prop J will decrease, not increase, traffic flows along Luneta, Stratford, and Crest. These are the facts based on actual studies, not speculation. Wayne Dernetz

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

BY LANE SHARMANConservatives protect the American way

of life. Liberals like to explore new ways of be-ing. Conservatives count. Liberals imagine. When the two groups work together by listen-ing to one another and taking action, humani-ty survives. Liberals took conservatives to the new world as a way of escaping a crumbling, old world. Conservatives protect liberals today from zealous expenditures that are too risky.

This is a system. This is a stock called life, liberty, happiness and equilibrium. When the minds of both are open to the other, the stock expands and contracts with some balance around a point of equilibrium. There is deple-tion and renewal. The forces depleting and re-newing are ever present. Conservatives pre-serve and liberals renew the stock. And, renew-al and preservation are essential to maintain its “moment of equilibrium.”

Stocks in equipment, cash and nature de-cay. Conservatives need liberals to show a path towards renewal of these stocks. Once created, liberals need conservatives for the fair and just allocation of those stocks based on merit. Na-ture is not always in a system of perfect equi-librium as seen when considering things like earthquakes, climate change, flooding and droughts. Yet, generally, nature is a good ex-ample of a complex system hovering about a moment of equilibrium with a capability to evolve. Ditto can be said for a well-run corpo-ration that considers its social as well as eco-

nomic depletions and renewals.In modern societies, liberals and conser-

vatives discuss how to replenish and rebuild. They wager intelligently how to expend exist-ing stocks in order to renew them. They bor-row when resources are low. They save when profits are strong. But, they do this in a form of mutual cooperation knowing that survival generally hangs in the balance.

When leaders listen to both conservative and liberal minds, they can make better deci-sions. When they do not listen or participate in the political process, they function within their own liberal or conservative vacuum. Na-ture abhors a vacuum. Society cannot function with leaders unwilling to listen and weigh both the liberal and conservative mind.

The greatest attribute of a leader is an ac-tive ability to suspend his or her conservative or liberal bias in order to choose the best course of action. Both liberals and conserva-tives are essential for renewing and preserving equilibrium. My hope for the future is that we encourage more leaders like this to run for of-fice. And, elect the few who demonstrate this greatest form of leadership.

The Minds of Conservatives and LiberalsProp AA a great investment in the future

As a parent and homeowner in the San Dieguito Union High School District I have had the distinct honor to serve as President of the Torrey Pines High School Foundation for the last two years. This position has afforded me an inside look at the financial challenges that our district faces as we strive to continue to provide the top flight education that our students, parents, and community have come to expect.

Each year committed volunteers raise funds to help support our schools and bridge the gap in funding from Sacramento yet there are some projects that are simply too big and too critical for volunteer organizations to tackle. Looking to the future the district administration and its planning committees have realized that all of our schools will need upgrades to meet evolving technological standards for classrooms, labs, and libraries. Aging schools, the oldest 75 years old, suffer from leaky roofs, rusty plumbing, and inadequate electrical systems. Some schools don’t meet modern seismic standards; others still have hazardous asbestos and lead to remove. Uncertain revenues from Sacramento, even if current state propositions should pass, means that soon our board and administration will be facing decisions between providing safe, mod-ern schools, and teachers in our classrooms.

San Dieguito UHSD has not asked voters to pass a bond measure in more than 40 years but we cannot afford to wait any longer. We need a secure source of local funding that the state cannot dip into to assure that our school district remains among the top public schools in the country. When my family moved here 12 years ago it was because of the schools. When hous-ing prices around the country were plummeting, our neighborhoods held more value than most because of the schools. The expected cost of this bond measure is significantly less than the average donation to our foundation and something I consider a great investment in the quality of local education as well as my homes resale value.

There have been several letters recently by current and would-be board members express-ing their displeasure with proposition AA. While I appreciate everyone’s right to their opinion I am saddened by the politicizing of our student’s future. Having been involved in bond measures in other school districts, I believe this to be the best thought out, most thoroughly planned re-quest I have seen to date. The proposal has been through multiple rounds of trimming, revision and consideration to emerge as proposition AA. The web site friendsofsandieguitoshools.com contains full details of the intended projects and I urge all voters to go there, read it, and decide for yourselves. I for one support proposition AA wholeheartedly and I hope you and your read-ers will join me and vote Yes for our communities future, Vote Yes on proposition AA.

Mark W. Bath, President Torrey Pines High School Foundation

Our coastal North County communities are known for our great schools. But state budget cuts and aging school facilities threaten the quality of our outstanding Del Mar and Carmel Valley schools. We cannot rely on the State to fund the quality education and modern classrooms our students deserve.

That’s why parents, teachers and community leaders from Del Mar and Carmel Valley are working together in support of Propositions AA and CC on the Nov. 6 ballot. If ap-proved, these important local ballot measures will provide a reliable source of locally con-trolled funding for all of our local students – from kindergarten through high school.

Given that elementary students in the Del Mar Union School District will graduate to attend the San Dieguito Union High School District, and many of the middle and high school students in the San Dieguito Union High School District receive their elementary education in the Del Mar Union School District, both of these measure are critical for a strong continuum of education for all age groups.

Quality Schools for Del Mar — Yes on CC, the volunteer committee leading the cam-paign for Del Mar Union School District’s ballot measure, urges local voters to support Proposition AA to benefit San Dieguito Union High School District.

Friends of San Dieguito Schools — Yes on AA, the volunteer committee leading the campaign for San Dieguito Union High School District’s ballot measure, asks local voters to support Proposition CC to benefit Del Mar Union School District.

By voting Yes on AA and CC, residents of Del Mar and Carmel Valley can protect the outstanding quality of education for which our local schools have long been known. And as protecting quality schools also protects the value of our homes, even community mem-bers with no children in the district will benefit from the passage of these measures.

I’m glad to see, from his letter (this newspaper, Oct. 25, 2012), that Trey Miller missed us from our corner in Carmel Valley. If he (or anyone else, for that matter) would like to see us again, many of the same people who were at El Camino Real and Del Mar Heights Road four years ago can currently be found every Thursday afternoon from 4-6 p.m. at the corner of Scripps Poway Parkway and General Atomic Way, across from General Atomic, a major manufacturer of drones for the military.

After speaking out against the Iraq and Afghanistan wars perpetrated by George W. Bush, we are now protesting Barak Obama’s indiscriminate drone warfare, targeted assassi-nations, and the move to bring those drones home to American skies. God knows what af-fects they will have on the fourth amendment here. Mr. Miller wonders where our passion is and what our real agenda might be. Conspiracy theories aside, we once again stand in opposition to stupid wars and indiscriminate violence. It doesn’t matter to us who is in charge of them.

Winnie Sunshine, Solana Beach

Opposition to ‘stupid wars and indiscriminate violence’

Keep Del Mar viable for the future — Votes Yes on Prop J I continue to be perplexed and disappointed by the “No on Prop J” materials we are

being bombarded with this election season. Opponents of the measure keep referring to “developers” being behind Prop J, and to beware of the “slick marketing campaign” in favor of Prop J. These campaign materials are not telling the truth. I am a second generation Del Marian. I am a young mom raising three boys in Olde Del Mar. I serve on the City’s Plan-ning Commission and the board of the PTA at Del Mar Heights Elementary. You might rec-ognize me riding my bike with one of my sons to Brueggers or Stratford Café on a Saturday morning. It’s me, and people like me, who are behind Prop J. People who care deeply about the vitality of our beloved village and don’t want to see it decay and deteriorate while ev-erything around us (Del Mar Highlands, Flower Hill, the City of Solana Beach etc..) contin-ues to beautify and improve, taking businesses out of our city. Interestingly, I tried to post this on the “No” facebook page but it was promptly deleted and then I was blocked from posting anything further on that page. I guess Prop J opponents don’t want the facts to get in the way of their negative campaign message.

If you have done your homework, looked into what the plan entails, and decide not to vote for Prop J, I whole-heartedly respect your opinion and your vote. But please don’t let the fear mongering and false statements sent out by the “No” campaign determine the future of our village. Get the facts. A great place to start is at: www.ForDelMar.com.

Fellow residents of Del Mar, you should be proud of the process your City Council has completed over the past two years to draft, revise, and improve upon the Village Specific Plan that is now before you as Prop J. It is a well-thought out plan to revitalize our central commercial zone, and keep our town healthy and viable for the future – for the next gener-ation. It is not backed by “developers” or a “slick marketing campaign.” It is supported by your friends, neighbors, and fellow residents that want to see our village thrive. Yes on Prop J and “Stop the Decay!”

Lani Sipe Curtis Del Mar

There has been a lot of vitriol recently from proponents of the Village Specific Plan (VSP, aka Proposition J on the Nov. 6 ballot) about Del Mar citizens who believe that the VSP, as currently designed, is not in the interest of the City, their neighbors or themselves.

The proponents and, disturbingly, the bal-lot statement itself which was written by the City Attorney cite a series of unproven “facts” that they hope will convince you to vote for the VSP. These “facts” are that the VSP will re-duce traffic congestion, increase pedestrian safety, increase property values, protect ocean views, improve city revenues, protect residen-tial streets, reduce air pollution, etc.

Unfortunately, the proponents know very well that their assertions aren’t “facts.” They are opinions. A fact is something that has been tested, verified, and shown to be true. The only way to prove that the Prop J assertions are true is to make the changes, test their impact, and show that congestion, safety, property values, revenues, air pollution, etc. have improved. Short of that kind of testing, the claimed “facts” are merely the proponents’ opinions and they have no more weight than yours or

mine. It is also disturbing that the proponents

claim that the VSP will reduce air pollution de-spite the fact that the VSP Environmental Im-pact Report indicates that air pollution will more than double in Del Mar if the VSP is im-plemented. Read it yourself. The text is on page 4.2-19 of the EIR and the data are in Table 4.2-6 on the next page.

To be clear, nothing in the VSP has been tested in the unique setting of this specific community, nor are any tests planned that will be relevant to the final product before con-struction begins. Testing roundabouts at the north end of town that will ultimately be in-stalled at the south end between two traffic lights is the same as no test at all.

So, in the absence of community-wide consensus and willingness to accept the risks inherent in Prop J, all the claims you will hear from the proponents of Prop J or read in the unfair ballot statement the City Attorney com-posed, are simply their opinions. Don’t let them mislead you into thinking they’re “facts.”

Education Matters/OpinionCampaign contributions received for local bond measuresBY MARSHA SUTTON

T h e s e c o n d filing pe-riod for disclo-sure of c a m -paign contributions to No-vember ballot measures closed Oct. 25. Of those do-nors contributing $1,000 or more to Propositions AA and CC, the local school bond measures, most came from organizations and businesses locally and statewide.

For the San Dieguito Union High School District’s bond measure, Proposition AA, $11,000 was received during the first reporting pe-riod (through Sept. 30). Half, $5,500, was given by Brad Shoen, a Torrey Pines High School parent involved in the Yes on AA campaign. The rest came from firms and individuals who each donated $500 or less.

For the Oct. 1 through Oct. 20 reporting period, $191,100 was received and $180,000 came from the fol-lowing firms:

•$25,000 from Gilbane Building Co., headquartered in Providence, Rhode Island

•$25,000 from Lionakis of Sacramento, an architec-tural and engineering firm

•$25,000 from De La Rosa & Co., investment bankers in Los Angeles

•$25,000 from Westberg & White Architects of San Diego

•$25,000 from MVE In-stitutional architectural firm in Santa Ana

•$15,000 from Erick-son-Hall Construction Co. of Escondido

•$11,000 from Balfour Beatty Construction Co. of San Diego

•$7,500 from Ruhnau Ruhnau Clarke & Associates, an architecture and design firm based in Riverside

•$5,000 from Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe, a San Francisco law firm

•$3,000 from Pardee Homes

•$2,500 from HMC Ar-chitects of Ontario, Calif.

•$2,000 from Kilroy Ser-vices, a Los Angeles realty corp.

•$2,000 from Gould Electric Co. of Poway

•$1,500 from Pecoraro, a painting contractor in San Diego

•$1,500 from Brady Co. of La Mesa, subcontractors in metal framing and dry-

Marsha Sutton

wall installation•$1,000 from Masson &

Associates, a land develop-ment and surveying firm based in Escondido

•$1,000 from Berg Elec-tric of Escondido

•$1,000 from Dynalec-tric of San Diego

•$1,000 from Ralph Roesling of San Diego’s Roesling Nakamura Terada Architects

Of the $10,500 donated to the Del Mar Union School District’s Proposition CC campaign reported through Sept. 30, $9,000 came from three companies outside San Diego County: $5,000 from Jones Hall, a San Francisco municipal bond law firm; $2,500 from the Newport Beach law firm of Bowie Arneson Wiles & Giannone; and $1,500 from Royce Printing, a printer in Mill Valley.

For the Oct. 1 through Oct. 20 reporting cycle for donations to Del Mar’s Yes on CC campaign, $21,000 of the $21,900 came from six companies:

•$7,500 from the Do-linka Group, Irvine-based fi-nancial consultants for the bond

•$5,000 from Stone & Youngberg, a municipal fi-

nance company based in San Francisco that has a contract with the Del Mar district to provide underwriting servic-es for the bond should it pass

•$5,000 from San Di-ego’s Balfour Beatty Con-struction Co.

•$1,500 from Eric Hall & Associates, a school facili-ties funding and planning firm located in Carlsbad

•$1,000 from Atkinson Andelson Loya Ruud & Romo, a law firm with offic-es throughout California

•$1,000 from Borrego Solar of San Diego

The Dolinka Group, the financial advisory firm that achieved local and national notoriety by assisting the Po-way Unified School District in structuring its much-criti-cized Capital Appreciation Bonds, donated $7,500 to the Yes on CC campaign. Dolinka will receive hourly fees to “evaluate need for a general obligation bond measure” if Del Mar’s bond passes, according to its con-tract.

This service to survey the community has already been provided, but the firm will only be paid if the bond measure passes. Fees run $250 per hour for the presi-dent, Benjamin Dolinka,

$200 per hour for directors, down to $85 per hour for re-search assistants.

If voters approve the bond, Dolinka will further assist the district with the issuance of the bonds at a rate of $75,000 for the first bond issuance and $65,000 for each sub-sequent issuance.

Dolinka also has a contract with San Dieguito for similar services, although to date the county shows no contribution to the Yes on AA campaign from Dolinka.

According to San Dieguito’s contract, Dolinka was com-pensated $29,500 plus expenses for initial polling of the com-munity to determine the level of interest in a bond. In addi-tion, Dolinka will receive, should Prop. AA pass, an addition-al $20,000 for preliminary work and $65,000 for each bond issuance under Dolinka’s involvement.

San Dieguito is using the legal services of Orrick Her-rington & Sutcliffe, which donated $5,000 to the Prop. AA campaign. But Eric Dill, SDUHSD’s assistant superintendent of business services, said the district has no contract with the law firm and pays for its bond services on an hourly basis.

De La Rosa and Co., which donated $25,000 to SDUHSD’s bond campaign, will be paid, based on its contract with the district, under the following terms for “Fees”: “Our underwriting discount will be not-to-exceed $7 per $1,000 of par amount, subject to negotiation prior to each bond issue, plus reimbursement of our reasonable out-of-pocket expens-es.”

Bowie Arneson Wiles & Giannone, which donated $2,500 to the Yes on CC Del Mar bond campaign, has a con-tract with the DMUSD that depends upon passage of the measure.

According to its contract with Del Mar, for the initial se-ries of bonds, the law firm will receive 1 percent of the first $2 million issued ($20,000) and .5 percent of the next $6 mil-lion issued ($30,000), plus expenses up to $3,000.

For each subsequent series of bonds, Bowie Arneson will receive another 1 percent of the first $2 million ($20,000) and .5 percent of the next $5 million ($25,000), plus expens-es not to exceed $3,000.

There are expected to be five issuances of Del Mar bonds and four to five for San Dieguito.

All contracts are available to the public through the school districts.

Campaign contributions for these and other ballot mea-sures can found at the County Registrar of Voters Website at: http://www.sdcounty.ca.gov/voters/Eng/proceed.html.

BY BILL BUTLERTorrey Pines recently

fought hard against a team whose line probably out-weighed that of the Falcons by an average of 25-35 pounds per man and who had a running back bigger that any Falcon on the team. The weight advantage took its toll early, as the Fal-cons were unable to mount a scoring threat in the first half--despite two poor Oceanside punts which provided good field position. Late in the first half, Friedland intercepted a Pi-rate pass deep in Falcon territory and returned the interception to near midfield, but the Fal-cons had no time to take advantage of the turnover. Nelson also had a fumble recovery for the Falcons.

Trailing 8-0 in the third quarter, Peed directing the offense, TP put together a halfback pass, Plashkes to Ray, that carried to the 1-yard line. TP scored and added a 2-point kick to tie the game.

Early in the fourth quarter, TP started a drive on their own 30-yard line, but the passing game finally got untracked. Whitton hit Gange, who made a double move down the left sideline and an even tougher catch and run to move the ball to the Oceanside 45-yard line. A few plays later, Misak ran straight downfield from his tight end position, gathered in a pass from Whitton, and ran hard to the 10-yard line. Following a 5-yard quarterback sack, Whitton hit Morgans in the end zone for the winning TD. Pike was again good on the 2-point kick. For the record, Pike was successful on every extra point kick and field goal at-tempt for the entire season; quite a feat.

In the second half, the Falcons were challenged with defending a barrage of Oceanside passes. First, Ray took the ball away from an Oceanside receiver deep in Falcon territory for a third Torrey Pines turnover and ended a Pirate scoring threat. later in the half, after Torrey Pines had gone ahead in the score 16-8, Ray and Morgans jointly intercepted a Pirate pass to effectively end the game.

Four turnovers, a stalwart though undersized defense, and some coaching adjustments in the offensive play calling made for a thrilling Falcon victory on this, the final game of the 2012 football season for the Falcons!

Beau Morgans breaks free in the end zone for winning pass reception from Conner Whitton.

North Shore Girls Softball opens spring registration and gears up for the 25th Anniversary of the league

2013 will be a year-long celebration for one local softball league as it celebrates 25 years of quality softball in the North Shore region of San Diego County. North Shore Girls Soft-ball is made up of the communities of Del Mar, Carmel Valley, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, and Torrey Hills. John Wood, a resident of Carmel Valley since 1998, will preside over the league during this milestone year.

“As a coach and volunteer in the league, I have seen the focus on player development reap benefits as teams have consistently qualified for the highest level tournaments”, said Wood.

As president, Wood plans to continue the emphasis on skills development, and plans to have fun along the way. It was at the end of the last All Star season that he reached out to the East Honolulu Girls Softball league and began charting a course to participate in their Paradise Tournament held each summer near Waikiki. There is obvious excitement in his eyes as the talks about the trip that is almost 10 months away.

“I love the support we get from our North Shore families and the spirit with which they approach every season…I expect we will be taking several teams to Oahu next summer to play softball and make a pilgrimage to the “other North Shore.”

Registration is now open for the spring season. Registration closes on Nov. 30. The North Shore season begins on Jan. 12, 2013 with an exclusive day-long development clinic featuring the 12 time NCAA Champion UCLA Women’s Softball Team. Evaluations for Divi-sions 10U, 12U, and 14U will be on Sunday, Jan. 13, and Opening Night will be on Feb. 8. Visit http://www.nsgsl.com/ for details.

From charity to chile rellenos,local sisters give it all

BY CLAIRE HARLINSisters Catalina “Liza” Salgado and Tere-

sa Rincon were born in the building that stands at 621 Valley Ave. in Solana Beach, and for more than seven decades, they’ve spent most of their waking hours there.

Most people in the community, howev-er, have for generations known the location as a go-to spot for turkey tacos and chile rel-lenos, a place to convene after a Little League game or to go out with the family for Mexican food.

The much-embraced Tony’s Jacal was not only one of Solana Beach’s first restau-rants when it opened 66 years ago, but it’s a staple in Eden Gardens — not only for its menu but for its community involvement. Continuing with the legacy left by their par-ents, Tony and Catalina Gonzalez, owners Salgado and Rincon don’t think twice when it comes to helping their neighbors — whether that means cooking for events at the local schools, lending their space to non-profits or sponsoring sports teams.

“Our dad was poor growing up as a kid and so when he had the money he did whatever he could to help,” said Salgado, who works well over 50 hours a week at the restaurant.

Perhaps the biggest act of kindness by the Tony’s Jacal family, however, has been ongoing for 42 years and resulted in more that $1 million in scholarships that have helped local Mexican American youth at-

tend college. Catalina Gonzalez was one of a few community leaders that provided the fi-nancial backing to start the Mexican Ameri-can Educational Guidance Association (MAEGA), and Rincon and Salgado will be honored on Nov. 10, from 6-8 p.m. at the Encinitas Senior and Community Center in a tribute event recognizing their longtime efforts to keep their parents’ generosity alive.

“I don’t feel like it’s even our award,” said Rincon. “It’s really for our mom.”

Anna Vallez, MAEGA’s president, would beg to differ, however. She said the sisters are hardworking and incredibly humble. For them, she said, feats of kindness are routine and they seek nothing in return.

The sisters still donate their space to MAEGA, which gave $91,000 in scholarships last year for all of the organization’s fund-raising dinners, and at one event — held each year on the last Tuesday of the Del Mar horse races — the restaurant donates its profits. Vallez also said that Salgado, who handles all of the restaurant’s bookkeeping, offers both her energy and resources to pre-pare and help serve food for hundreds at an annual barbecue fundraiser while Rincon is busy at the restaurant.

“Their presence is huge,” Vallez said.While the ladies may not be big on tak-

ing credit, their goodwill and significance in the community shows — even through the restaurant itself. Walking into the front en-tryway of Tony’s Jacal, one might notice

that the walls are covered with rows and rows of framed photos of Little League teams the family has sponsored.

“Our dad was the first one to start a Lit-tle League team in the area,” said Rincon, adding that the restaurant still sponsors both soccer and baseball teams, as well as Torrey Pines High School football. “People come in and show their grandchildren when they used to play for Tony’s Jacal.”

Rincon said that for decades, beginning

Presence of Tony’s Jacal felt in Eden Gardens for 66 years; Sisters to be honored for their philanthropy work

in the 1950s, the restaurant gave the Little League kids a free meal every time they won a game.

“We had to stop that, though, be-cause the other teams said it wasn’t fair,” said Rincon. “Everyone wanted to play for Tony’s Jacal.”

Tony’s Jacal has customers who have been eating there regularly since day one and families who have had their yearly Christmas dinner at Tony’s Jacal every year for generations. They hold wedding rehearsals almost every weekend, and they lend their parking lot to the small, private Keystone Academy school in the mornings so the kids will have outdoor space for physical education.

It doesn’t stop there. Local fami-lies may have seen Salgado out at a re-cent elementary school Halloween Carnival serving up Mexican food, or you may have eaten Tony’s Jacal fare at school events like parents’ night or open house, which they often provide food for. Sometimes nonprofits hold rummage sales on the premises on Sat-urdays before the restaurant opens.

“We don’t really think much about it,” said Rincon. “Any organiza-tion that comes in and they are going to have some sort of a function they always ask and we donate dinner gifts for raffle prizes and that kind of thing.”

Both ladies remember working at the restaurant when it first opened. Salgado was 8 years old and Rincon was 7. Rincon said she remembers sweeping the dining room after school, and as they got older the two would take turns babysitting their younger brother and sister and helping out at the restaurant while their par-ents also worked.

Not much has changed. Rincon has enjoyed somewhat of a retirement, but still manages the restaurant’s fi-nances, and Salgado is on the premises every day, working in all roles of the restaurant team.

“I’m always go, go, go, and I nev-er get tired,” she said. “I never sit, only when I have my dinner, which is for about a half an hour.”

Rincon chimed in, “And you should see her house. It’s spic and span, no dirt. It’s clean, clean, clean.”

When it comes to running the kitchen, Salgado said it’s maintaining the tradition of her parents that has kept people coming back and led to

BY CLAIRE HARLINSolana Beach truly has its

own “garden of Eden,” or at least that’s what mayor Joe Kellejian called the new neigh-borhood garden that launched Oct. 25 at St. Leo Mission Cath-olic Church in Eden Gardens.

Made possible through pri-vate donations and a $10,000 grant from Home Depot, the organic garden has 12 plots that are open to the public. Di-ane Hardison of the La Colonia de Eden Gardens foundation said most gardeners live within walking distance and don’t have room for a garden at home.

“Many around here live in apartments, so this is for the

people who wouldn’t be able to have one otherwise,” Hardison said.

Volunteers from the foun-dation posted notices around town calling for people inter-ested in the garden, and about 16 people originally signed up. Fortunately, only about a doz-en people showed up at an in-formational meeting about the plots, so each interested family was able to have a plot. To get to use a free plot, community members must keep it fully planted and perform other vol-unteer tasks regularly to main-tain the space.

“One of the greatest things about the garden is seeing the children come with big

smiles,” said Hardison. “They love going around with the wa-tering cans and you can tell they really want to learn and help.”

Hardison said the feedback so far has been overwhelming-ly positive.

“One lady told me it re-news her spirit,” said Hardison, adding that the gardeners have all formed bonds working to-gether at the church site. “It’s so beautiful and it’s so great seeing everyone working to-gether.”

For more information on the garden or how to get in-volved, call Hardison at (858)342-4288.

their continued success.“There’s no shortcuts, no

nothing,” she said. “Every-thing has to be done exactly the same.”

Salgado said sometimes people who used to lived in the area return after several decades, and they are sur-prised at the major changes Solana Beach has seen over the years.

“They see all this com-mercial development and when they get here they can’t even believe we are still here and that it still looks the same,” she said. “When they come in they look at me and say, ‘Wow, you’re still here!’ and when they eat they say the food even tastes the same.”

The two work in the spir-it of their parents, continuing the legacy and treating each dish and each customer “the way mom would have done,” Salgado said.

“We never have thought of ourselves as business part-ners,” she said. “We’re just family doing things together that need to be done.”

BY KAREN BILLINGBy day, Carmel Valley

resident Patrick Brown lives a fairly normal life as a real estate broker and can be spotted roaming the pitch as the head coach for his daughter’s Carmel Valley/Del Mar Sharks’ Maroon Raccoons and as the assis-tant coach for his son’s Blue Blasters.

But when not leading the Raccoons or Blasters, Brown takes center stage for a different kind of group as the lead singer of local band Icebox.

“My kids think daddy’s a rock star,” said Brown, ad-mitting it’s a title he doesn’t mind owning.

Brown’s band Icebox will be performing in a ben-efit show at the Belly Up this Saturday, Nov. 3, at the Friends of Zoofari Founda-tion Fundraiser. Icebox takes the stage at 2 p.m. and will be followed by Nena Ander-son, Old Tiger and headliner

Euphoria Brass Band.Zoofari is a local non-

profit that takes in unwant-ed or orphaned wildlife and zoo animals. The founda-tion was started by a group of local wildlife biologists and, in partnership with Wild Wonders Inc., the group does wildlife educa-tion programs for children to learn about preservation and conservation.

“It’s a worthy cause and we’d love to get a huge turn-out to raise money for the animals,” Brown said.

Brown has been a Car-mel Valley resident since 1992. He attended UCLA and got his degree in eco-nomics while playing on the golf team.

As a real estate broker with Petrone Properties in Torrey Hills, Brown deals with properties all along the I-5 corridor, from Carlsbad to downtown. Past clients include former Chargers Ja-mal Williams and Shawne Merriman.

That he is making time in his busy schedule as hus-band/father/realtor/soccer coach to rock out on stage is not surprising to Brown.

“I’ve always wanted to be in music and I’m finally

getting to where I’ve wanted to be,” Brown said. “It’s un-usual how I ended up arriv-ing in [music].”

Brown has been singing since he was 5 years old, get-ting his start in his church. In high school he was in band and post-college he supplemented his profes-sional golf career by running karaoke night at the now-defunct J.J. McGiven’s in Del Mar.

Brown was singing in a

cover band called West of 5, when drummer Scott Long-balla approached him about being lead vocalist for Ice-box and working on some original music. The band, which also includes David George on bass and lead gui-tarist Ariel Nunez, had lots of songs written but no lyr-ics. Brown was able to help put words to their work, writing uplifting lyrics that touched on everything from past relationships to the en-

vironment.Last year the group re-

corded their album, “Open the Fridge,” at Signature Sound in Clairemont.

“That was a lot of fun,” Brown said of the record, which has heard airplay on 91X radio station during its local music hour.

Their music is a blend of blues and funk-based rock with influences from all the bandmembers playing a part. George and Longballa have their roots in funk, while Nunez’s guitar has an ‘80s metal sound. Brown’s voice is soulful and one of the master producers on “Open the Fridge” com-pared his pipes to Lenny Kravitz or Ben Harper.

Icebox has played local venues such as the Del Mar Fair, The House of Blues, The Kraken in Cardiff, Stage Bar downtown and the 710 Beach Club in Pacific Beach, among others.

“This is our first show at the Belly Up, it’s the place we’ve always wanted to play,” Brown said.

While the band gets to-gether once a week to prac-tice, Brown works on music of his own in his makeshift studio at home. The “stu-

dio” is actually his living room, where his wife Lauren kindly tolerates a space filled with musical instruments.

He is working on his sophomore album, aside from Icebox, which will fea-ture all of his own music and feature Brown on vo-cals, guitar, bass and key-board.

“I really enjoy it,” Brown said of writing his own songs. “It’s a lot more rewarding to stand up on stage and sing your own ma-terial rather than singing somebody else’s all the time. [Being with Icebox] inspired me to want to write more songs and do another proj-ect.”

Tickets for the Nov. 3 show are $12 in advance and can be purchased through Brown at (858) 705-4585 or by emailing patrick-brealty@gmail.com. The day of the show tickets are $15. For more information, visit www.bellyup.com. Check out Icebox at iceboxband.com.

BY KELLEY CARLSON

E ddie V’s Prime Seafood, whose La Jolla location overlooks the Pacific, provides a menu that swells with

offerings from North American waters.Inspired by classic seafood restaurants in

San Francisco, New Orleans and Boston, Eddie V’s creates dishes from catch kept fresh, whether it’s from West Coast docks, the North Atlantic or the Gulf of Mexico.

For instance, there is the Point Judith Calamari, named for the cape on the coast of Narragansett, R.I. The colorful appetizer is prepared kung-pao style with roasted cashews and crisp noodles.

And then there are entrees such as the Pacific Swordfish, broiled with fresh Jonah crab, avocado and red chili vinaigrette, which pairs well with a side of Crab Fried Rice with scallions and mushrooms; and the Georges Bank Scallops, mollusks obtained from New England that are sautéed with citrus, roasted almonds and brown butter.

Although the name implies it’s strictly a seafood establishment, Eddie V’s also offers USDA prime, center-cut steaks that are aged 28 days and obtained from a butcher in Chicago. Among the selections are two sizes of filet mignon, a 16-ounce New York strip and a 22-ounce bone-in rib eye.

“For being primarily a seafood restaurant, we sell a lot of prime steaks, as well,” Executive Chef Chris Gardner said.

To accompany the dishes — served family-style — there are sides such as Truffled Macaroni and Cheese. Guests can conclude their meal with one of a half-dozen desserts; the “go-to” item is the flaming Hot “Bananas Foster” Butter Cake

with a scoop of butter-pecan ice cream.The La Jolla location of Eddie V’s is

similar in decor to the seven additional restaurants in the chain, which are located in Texas and Arizona, although there are some aspects that make it unique. The large windows that enclose the split-level interior — divided into a lounge/bar and the main dining room — permit views of the ocean and La Jolla sea caves. A century-old fireplace that was part of the original building on the site — the Wahnfried Cottage — provides a sense of warmth and coziness.

Just outside on the deck, children often watch sea lions swimming around the caves and listen to their echoing barks. Upstairs, on the covered Waterfront Terrace, patrons can dine in small groups and take advantage of pleasant weather.

Inside the V Lounge, guests can sit at the bar or at tables near the piano and listen to live jazz music daily, starting at 6 p.m.

weekdays and 8 p.m. Friday and Saturdays.Reservations are recommended, managing

partner Mario Vega said, as the restaurant constantly fills during lunch and dinner. However, it’s walk-in business in the lounges, where customers can receive $2 off drinks during the daily happy hour.

Gardner recommends that a half-hour before sunset, patrons settle in while it’s still daylight, watch the setting sun, and then have dinner to catch “a few different phases of dining.”

The Waterfront Terrace is the ideal place to sit for such an experience, and reservations should be made a couple weeks in advance to guarantee a spot there.

“There are a lot of faithfuls and die-hard fans we see here on a weekly basis,” Vega said. “A lot of them grew up when this (place) was The Chart House. They see what it has evolved into. It’s a lot of memories for a lot of people.”

BY KATHY DAYLongevity means a lot in the veterinary care industry,

and Michele Drake, DVM, says the 20-year track record of The Drake Center speaks volumes about her business.

From 1992, when she purchased the business and was the lone vet with three employees, to today with six doctors and 30 employees, the center has been all about “unprece-dented levels of care,” she said.

Their menu of services includes wellness care, hospital-ization and emergency care, along with dentistry, surgery and acupuncture. They also provide behavioral education, laboratory and prescription services, and diet and nutrition education, as well as bathing and boarding, primarily for their client base since they don’t have a separate boarding facility. About 99 percent of the animals the Drake team sees are cats and dogs, although they also care for rabbits and “pocket pets” on occasion.

Citing their mission statement – “to provide the best medical and surgical care in a compassionate environment and to provide unsurpassed service for our clients” – Drake said they are known for “awesome patient care and custom-er service.”

With a front staff that is good at listening, they know when people come in fear and know how to soothe that feeling.

“They are fearful for their pet, or fearful it will misbe-have or even fearful of being judged,” said the graduate of the University of Missouri at Columbia who also is certified in veterinary acupuncture. “We get that.”

For the senior citizen “who can’t handle giving five medications to her dog,” they can adjust the routine so she can handle it, or when a mom arrives with three children and the dog in tow, the staff will go out and help them get into the office and entertain the kids, Drake said.

“We hire people with the same philosophy of treating

pets like family member,” she added.

And with a “high reten-tion rate of ca-pable and knowledgeable people,” The Drake Center staff has watched as their custom-ers’ families grew and ma-tured.

“Relation-ship building is key,” Drake noted. “We’re like the old-time family doctor.”

The staff can tailor medications and treatment plans based on what’s best for the family and also takes budget into consideration since Drake recognizes that specialized veterinary services can be costly.

When that type of care is called for, Drake and her asso-ciates will recommend specialists and stay involved in what needs to be done.

They may turn to an “integrative” approach that uses Western and Eastern techniques with pets, sometimes utiliz-ing Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine, which the cen-ter’s website says “is based on the concept of balance using

acupuncture, herbal medicine, massage, food therapy and Qigong.”

Pain management is a particular strength of the center, according to Drake. “We want to make sure our patients don’t have pain.”

But sometimes they recognize there’s not much that can be done beyond keeping an animal comfortable. In one recent case, a woman came in with a dog with an upset stomach that turned out to be inoperable cancers, Drake said. When she heard the news, she asked the doctors to make sure her children had time to come home from college and say goodbye.

“The biggest thing we do here is our very special way of taking care of our clients,” she said. “We believe we are head and shoulders above others in this respect.”

Important to remember:Dr. Drake says pets should be seen at least once a year.

They age more quickly than humans so there are things we can catch if they get regular checkups.

She also says after age 8 or 9 they should be checked twice a year.

With all pets, if you see a change in their behavior or break in their routine, such as not greeting you at the door or not staying beside you while you’re working at the com-puter, have them checked.

On Nov. 10, from 6 to 9 p.m., the LA Bulgarian-Amer-ican Cultural Center and a Torrey Hills resi-dent, Vassya Val-entino, present to the commu-nity two top vo-calists from Bul-garia. The con-cert will be held at the Ocean Air MUR. The event goal is to introduce children and adults to the extremely rich and complex musical heritage of the land of Orpheus. The two-hour repertoire will consist of songs ranging from authentic Balkan folklore to classical arias and canzonets, jazz and pop.

Dessy Dobreva started her career as a student in the ear-ly 2000s as a solo singer for a Bulgarian show similar to Jay Leno’s Tonight Show. She is an honor graduate of the Berkelee School of Music in Boston. She is a professor at the Bulgarian Academy of Music. She is also a new mother of a 1-year-old son. Her music is unique with its vivid contempo-rary arrangement twist of the authentic Balkan folklore. http://youtu.be/3PLtculAdOA

In 1996, Ivailo Giurov won “Golden Orpheus,” the most prestigious award of the Bulgarian International Festi-val. He led 12 of the 13 rounds of the Bulgarian national contest “Sing With Me 2008.” His voice has wide tenor dia-pason which can be easily compared to the great Andrea Bo-celli. He was under the mentorship of Luciano Pavarotti in 2005 and a lead soloist in the U.S. opera production compa-ny “Teatro Lyrico D’Europa” in 2007/08, which also per-formed in San Diego. http://giurov.com/canzonettas.php

Both musicians have performed in front of stadiums and presidents, including Gorbachov and all over the world. Vassya Valentino is the host of this event and proud to pres-ent this unique quality concert to the local community that she has called home since 2007. Vassya Valentino and Stoy-an Gogov, a family and immigrants from Bulgaria since 1996, also own a software company with an office just west of Torrey Hills. Their application “OfficeSuite” surpassed even “Angry Birds” just three weeks ago and now enjoys the position of being the top selling app on Google Play. They also have a 7-year-old son who attends Ocean Air Elementa-ry School.

Ocean Air MUR is located at 11444 Canter Heights Drive, San Diego, 92130.

Top vocalists from Bulgaria to perform Nov. 10 at Ocean Air School

BY DIANA SAENGER Shakespeare’s “Measure

for Measure” has a reputa-tion for being one of his “problem” plays. However, team members from the University of San Diego Graduate Theatre Program are ready to prove just the opposite — even though the department has never done the show in its 25-year his-tory. The Old Globe will col-laborate on the production, which stages Nov. 10-18 in Balboa Park.

Christopher Salazar, who plays Duke Vincentio, said the confusing script centers on a Duke who rules with the knowledge that his country has fallen into dis-repair.

“He decides to leave for a while and put the strict and regimented Angelo (Matthew Bellows) in charge to clean up the place,” Sala-zar said. “The Duke says he’s going abroad, but instead,

he stays around in a disguise and sees that Angelo takes his duty to extremes.”

A big subplot of the play involves Angelo order-ing an execution for Claudio (Adam Gerber), who has premarital relations with his fiancée, Juliet (Erin Elizabeth Adams).

“This was strictly for-bidden at the time, and the story gets very interesting as Isabella (Whitney Wakimo-to), sister of the man to be executed, goes to Angelo to plead for her brother’s life,” Salazar said. “The strict, regi-mented Angelo, who is known for not giving over to any of his own carnal de-sires, faces just that when he meets the engaging and in-telligent Isabella and falls in love with her. In essence, Angelo is feeling the same things for Isabella that he’s sentenced Claudio to death for, and he faces a huge de-cision.”

S a l a -zar, who has a B.A. in Dramat-ic Arts from The University of North Carolina at C h a p e l Hill, said although he has performed in many Shakespearean fes-tivals, he found the role of the Duke a challenge.

“I’m excited to take on something that is a bit of a stretch and go in a different direction than I normally play,” he said. “And, I’m playing my character through the eyes of another character in a mask instead of that of the Duke. I like that the play is interspersed with great comedic charac-ters, and although it has a dark theme, it has so much comedy throughout that is just as prevalent as the seri-ous matter.”

Salazar added that he finds much more in the script than the theme of hy-pocrisy. “The story is about compassion, love and loyal-ty, and how the human spir-it can show up when some-one does wrong and wants to do right in the end.”

THE THREE BEST WAYS TO KEEP SOLANA BEACH BEAUTIFUL, SUSTAINABLE,AND PROSPEROUS.

VOTE NOV 6 HEEBNER,ZAHN& ZITO FOR SOLANA BEACHCITY COUNCIL

CONTRARY to opposition claims, Solana Beach has done an outstanding job expertly managing the city’s finances since 2008. Lesa, Peter, and Dave spelled out their vision for the future at the Solana Beach Community Forum. The opposition was invited but didn’t bother to attend. That was irresponsible and disrespectful to you, citizens and voters. Keep the Solana Beach vision alive.

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN‘Tis the season for

hearty veggies with pun-gent aromas, divine rich fla-vors and interesting back stories to dial-up your dish-es and answer your culinary curiosities. Let’s get to the root of the matter with some fall faves.

I Yam what I YamAre yams and sweet po-

tatoes the same? These two tubers are

not botanically created equal. Sweet potatoes, members of the morning glory family cultivated in the southern U.S. in the 16th century are orange or golden-fleshed dicotylens, while yams, Latin American imports with African and Asian ancestry are mono-cots belonging to the Di-oscoreaceae family.

The appearances and textures of these two flow-ering plants differ too: the stubby, taper-ended sweet potato has a glabrous thin-

skin ranging from purpley red to brown; the scaly-skinned yam with varying hues from dark brown to light pink is elongated and cylindrical-shaped. The former is also moist and sweet with a mother lode of Vitamins C, B6, iron, potassium, calcium and fo-lic acid, and beats the pants off of yams in calci-um, iron, Vitamin E and beta-carotene content, probably in part due to yam’s lighter, less nutri-ent-rich “flesh” color.

To prevent tuber confu-sion, the Department of Ag-riculture has stipulated that the ruby roots must include the tag line “sweet potato” especially if they are casual-ly referred to as “yams.”

Whether your druthers are sweet potatoes or yams, they both add a nutritional oomph to any dish along with a splash of eye candy. These creamy complex carbs can be pureed into baby foods, quick breads, custards, pies or cream soups, diced into stews, sliced into French-fries, grated into pancakes or cro-quettes or shredded raw into salads. These tubers pair well with coconut, gin-ger, lime, cinnamon, nut-meg and honey.

Stinky SproutsAre Brussels sprouts im-

mature cabbages?Although they resem-

ble miniature cabbage heads, Brussels sprouts are yet another member of the crucifer family. They were cultivated in the 16th cen-tury in the Flemish city of

Brussels, ergo the name. Rows of sprouts grow on a long stalk, two to three feet in length. These low cal, high fiber, anti-carcinogen powerhouses are packed with Vitamins A, K, C, B6, folate, potassium, thiamin, iron and manganese. Slice them raw in slaws or sauté and toss in salads, or roast with balsamic vinegar and olive oil as a side for your holiday duck or turkey.

The Albino CarrotAre parsnips unripe or

immature carrots?Parsnips, European im-

ports from the 1600s are a close cousin to the carrot not an unripe version. They are mostly enjoyed cooked, whether roasted or tossed in soups and stews exuding an aroma reminiscent of turnips, a creamy buttery texture, and a sharp taste similar to butterscotch and cardamom.

The Eyes Have itWhich potatoes have

the highest starch content?Russets, hands down

are the king of starch, mak-ing them the best potatoes for baking and whipping up fluffy mashed potatoes. And as they don’t absorb a lot of oil russets are also the best choice for French fries too. Since red-skins and Yukon Golds have a lower starch content they stay firm after cooking, making them ideal for potato salads, soups, chowders and scalloped dishes.

Rings a BellWhat’s the diff be-

tween green bell peppers and red ones?

Fall in love with autumn’s harvestThe Kitchen Shrink

For a riff on potato chips, try this healthier baked version with the ruby tuber and some herbs and spices for some culinary rock ’n’ roll.

1 large sweet potato, peeled¼ teaspoon garlic powder¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper¼ teaspoon cumin¼ teaspoon brown sugar¼ teaspoon sea saltDrizzle of olive oil

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Make paper-thin slices of the sweet potato with a slicer or mandolin. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper and lightly brush with olive oil. Place the slices on the sheet, single-file and brush these lightly with olive oil. Bake for 7 to 10 minutes or until brown. Turn over and bake for another few minutes until

brown. In a mixing bowl, combine sugar and

spices. Sprinkle the mixture on the chips and munch away.

Sweet Potato Chips A-Go-Go

Just like green olives are unripe black ones, green bells are unripe red, yellow and or-ange ones. The immature greens will eventually change color and develop more nutrients. Red and orange hued peppers contain 11 times the beta-carotene as green ones.

Background Information on the Del Mar Housing ElementUnder State law, every jurisdiction in California must adopt what is known as a General Plan with different segments, known as elements, to guide development in the community. The Del Mar Community (General) Plan was adopted in in 1976 and has been the subject of a number of amendments since that time. State law further requires that every General Plan contain one segment called a Housing Element which sets forth the City’s policies and programs to meet the existing and projected housing needs of all economic segments of the community. The goal is to establish land use policies and regulatory systems that accommodate opportunities for preservation and development of housing without undue constraints. The State Housing Element law also requires that each local jurisdiction’s Housing Element be subject to review and certification by the State Department of Housing and Community Development.While jurisdictions periodically review and amend different elements of their General Plan, California law is much more specific in regard to the schedule for updates to the Housing Element segment, requiring an update at least every eight years. The current Housing Element planning period under review in this agenda item runs from 2013 through 2020.
