Signaling a path to Safety

By Ellen WrightCARLSBAD — The Traffic Commission

approved a recommendation to install six rect-angular rapid flashing beacons in the Village, just like the one on Oak Avenue and Carlsbad Boulevard, at a meeting on Feb. 2.

The push-activated beacons light up and alert drivers that pedestrians are waiting to cross.

The beacon on Oak Avenue was used as a pilot program in 2013 to assess safety of the rel-atively new traffic device.

“This was a pilot program to evaluate whether additional (beacon) systems would be appropriate at other enhanced crosswalk loca-tions on Carlsbad Boulevard,” said Senior Traf-fic Engineer Doug Bilse.

Bilse said the council was worried the flash-ing lights would distract drivers.

The city has not received any complaints about the beacons on Oak Avenue.

The Federal Highway Administration re-leased a study on the rapid flashing beacons and found that the beacons influence drivers to stop

and yield to pedestrians more.“The drivers comply with a pedestrian go-

ing out into the crosswalk and (the driver) stops and yields the right of way,” said Bilse.

On Tuesday around 7 p.m., a pedestrian’s bike was hit while he was crossing at the exist-

ing crosswalk on Carlsbad Avenue and Hemlock Avenue, one of the proposed sites for the flash-ing beacons.

Nobody was injured but the driver was charged with not yielding the right-of-way to a pedestrian in a crosswalk, according to Jodee Sasway, public information officer with the Carlsbad Police Department.

The commission recommended city council approve the six beacons, at four existing cross-walks along Carlsbad Boulevard and at two uncontrolled mid-block locations on Grand Av-enue.

The recommended sites to install the flash-ing beacons are at existing crosswalks along Carlsbad Boulevard at Hemlock Avenue, Cher-ry Avenue, Maple Avenue and Sycamore Ave-nue.

The two on Grand Avenue would be located at Christiansen Avenue near the senior apart-ments and one west of the intersection between Grand Avenue and State Street.

Bilse said there were multiple requests for a flashing beacon near the retirement commu-nity.

The signs are a lower cost alternative to in-stalling traffic lights, Bilse told the council.

Mixed reactions meet housing element resultsBy Aaron Burgin

ENCINITAS — The results of Encinitas’ much publicized civic engage-ment efforts for the up-coming Housing Element — which were powered by the controversial online platform eTown Hall — were met with mixed re-actions from the residents and the City Council on Tuesday night.

The housing element is the city’s first compre-hensive overhaul of its housing and residential zoning map in more than 20 years, and will map out where an anticipated 1,300 units of affordable housing will be placed within the city. Voters are expected to vote on the plan in 2016.

The plan will re-quire the city adopt a new zoning designation that would allow upwards of 30 residential units per acre in order to satisfy the state affordable housing mandate. City officials said the plan is critical because the city faces law-suits and state action if it does not update the hous-ing element.

City planning staff had spent several months and hosted several work-shops and forums to gath-er input from residents, using eTown Hall as the sole repository.

In all, about 1,000 people visited the site, and of those, 500 gave their preferences for where high-density hous-ing should be located within the city’s five com-munities.

City staff took those responses and generated three maps that depicted the residents’ preferred locations for affordable housing; the first was based on the choice of one of the city’s pre-designed maps, the second was based on the results of a “build your own” scenar-io where residents could select candidate sites, and the third was a blend of the first two maps.

By Bianca KaplanekSOLANA BEACH —

City Council at the Jan. 28 meeting once again pro-longed the fate of a mixed-use development that aims to transform an abandoned lot at 636 Valley Ave. into townhomes and office space.

When the project was initially presented to coun-cil members in July 2013 it included one retail or office space and four dwelling units in one two-story and three three-story structures on the 10,800-square-foot lot.

The heights varied from a little more than 30 feet to slightly less than the maximum allowable 35 feet.

Residents and council members supported im-provements on the lot that included a boarded-up, sin-gle-family home that would be demolished, dead grass, weeds and tree branches, a few pairs of abandoned jeans and a rotting knocked-over mailbox.

But they said what was being proposed was too large and did not fit the character of the neighbor-hood.

“Eden Gardens was es-tablished by 30 families of Hispanic descent who still live there,” Mayor Lesa Heebner said at the time. “This is a very special place.

“I’m frankly just not comfortable with the way it’s being developed,” she added. “It’s just something that’s being crammed in there. … I am really strug-gling with the relationship with adjacent land use.”

Heebner described the existing buildings as “quaint, small, historical” structures. “This is shoot-ing up into the air in a very stark manner with no real respect to what is there.”

The public hearing was continued until September to give Sea Breeze Proper-ties a chance to create what Heebner described as a “more graceful transition” into the neighborhood.

Two months later the developers presented a scaled-down version with the street-facing building set back farther away from the sidewalk.

Although council mem-bers and many residents ap-preciated the changes, they said the project was still too big and not compatible with the surrounding area.

The development was denied without prejudice, allowing the applicants to make changes and resubmit plans without having to wait a year.

Since then the devel-opers conducted extensive community outreach and significantly scaled down the project, eliminating one of the structures and a dwelling unit and lowering the building heights.

Residents praised Sea Breeze for reaching out to them for additional input. Many who opposed the de-velopment, including near-by property owners Danny Hernandez and Erin McKin-ley, support the new plans.

The property current-ly “invites illicit activity onsite,” McKinley wrote in an email to the city. “Often

there are shopping carts and random cars parked on the property. … The devel-oper has done a wonderful job reaching out to the com-munity.”

Hernandez said at the meeting that the develop-ment team “truly reached out to the community … (and) listened to all our con-cerns.”

“I believe this proj-ect will benefit the Eden Gardens community by re-moving an uninhabitable structure and improving a lot that is generally in dis-repair,” David Kramer of Oakhurst Builders, a Val-ley Avenue business, wrote in an email, adding that its quality will “help bring ad-ditional energy, activity and investment to our area.”

Pollie Gautsch, an at-torney and adjacent proper-ty owner, stated the project “will do wonders for the area and does not compro-mise the integrity of the community.”

But not all residents support the new design. Gary Martin said the devel-opers did a great job revis-ing the proposal “but it’s not yet there.”

Martin said it is still too big and the front building is too close to the sidewalk.

“It shouldn’t be the big-gest building in the neigh-borhood,” he said. “It’s ex-tremely out of scale.

“It’s a great project,” he added. “We’re heading in the right direction.” He

urged the developers to “not give up right at the last minute.”

Most council members agreed. Mike Nichols said he liked where the front building was located in the second version.

“You almost took a step back here,” he said.

“You’ve obviously done a great job,” said Council-woman Ginger Marshall, who supported the revised plans. “I think the project looks good. I think it will be a huge improvement to the neighborhood.”

The public hearing will be continued at the Feb. 25 meeting.

By Aaron BurginENCINITAS — Two

groups have stepped forward to draft alternatives to the city’s housing element maps.

The Encinitas Taxpay-ers Association, led by com-munity stalwart Bob Bonde, and a second group led by three local residents have an-nounced their intent to form groups to create an alterna-tive housing map.

The announcements come as Mark Muir, who pro-posed the creation of a com-munity housing map group at the Jan. 21 council meeting, clarified his intent for multi-ple groups to submit propos-als.

The second group, spear-headed by Kevin Cummins, Tom Frank and Ed Wagner, are hosting a scoping meet-ing at 3 p.m. Sunday at the Encinitas Library. The meet-ing will include a discussion on what should be entailed in the map, development of an idea for the process and how

to structure and organize the collaborations, and final-ly to determine what would be needed to successfully contribute to the alternative map.

Residents who are in-terested in being involved with the group can email the group at [email protected]

Bonde announced the Taxpayer Association’s intent to submit its own proposal at Tuesday night’s joint city council-planning commis-sion session. The group’s ap-plication includes a 24-step process from receipt of the notice of group formation all the way to the public hearing on their map.

Any group interested in developing an alternative will be doing it on a truncated timeline of around 45 days, which is the city’s deadline to have any maps it wants ana-lyzed by environmental con-sultants to be submitted and approved the by the council.

2 community groups form to draft housing element alternatives

City looks to regulate group beach, park useBy Promise Yee

OCEANSIDE — Surf camps, fit-ness classes and other groups will soon need a permit to use Oceanside parks and beaches.

The City Council unanimously approved the introduction of an or-dinance to require groups to obtain a $175 annual special operations permit, prove insurance, and have participants sign a city waiver to use parks and beaches.

“I believe it’s a really good step,” Councilwoman Esther Sanchez said. “These areas are meant for the pub-lic to ensure public recreation.”

City consulting assistant and for-mer city manager Peter Weiss said the regulations allow the city to mon-itor group use and ensure the public has access.

“Now that we don’t have a pro-cess we’re seeing more increased public use of our public parks and beaches,” Weiss said. “We just want to make sure the people who are try-ing to use the parks, and the beach, and the amphitheater for personal use still have access to it.”

Weiss described the proposed laws as minimal regulations.

Other North County cities and state parks have similar laws, which

range from requirements for a re-quest for proposal, to a special oper-ations permit similar to Oceanside’s regulation.

Groups wishing to use Oceanside parks and beaches will have a win-dow of time to fill out the permit re-quest.

Weiss said permits would be ap-

proved on a first come, first serve ba-sis following that window.

The city retains first rights to parks and beach use for planned spe-cial events. Staff recommendations ask that surf camps be limited to five, and fitness groups do not use the pier stairs or ramps.

During the meeting Denny Coo-per, founder and director of Surf Camps USA, asked that two surf camps be allowed at Harbor Beach and applicants be selected on mer-it. Cooper has been running a surf camp in Oceanside for 12 years.

He said the company is insured and instructors are certified.

“We more than meet the require-ments,” Cooper said.

The City Council said they would work with groups.

“We need to keep in mind how we can help them,” Councilman Jack Feller said. “I’m not in favor of more regulations.”

If the ordinance receives final approval the city will use warnings and education the first year to en-force the new regulations, and eval-uate the ordinance at the end of sum-mer.

It is expected to return to the City Council for a final vote Feb. 18.

Top two primary system likely to survive challenge

California’s three-year-old “top two” primary election system has never pleased any political party. Not large ones like the Re-publicans and Democrats, who don’t like members of the other large party help-ing choose their nominees. And not minor parties like Libertarians and Greens, who resent the fact that top two virtually excludes them from November general election contests.

So the future of this sys-tem has been in some doubt from the moment Proposi-tion 14 passed in 2010 and restored an open prima-ry to the state for the first time since the late 1990s. That’s when Democrats and Republicans combined in a legal effort, which elim-inated a short-lived “blan-ket primary” system where anyone could vote for any candidate in the primary, but each party was assured of one spot on the Novem-ber ballot for each race it entered.

The latest challenge to top two, which sees only the two leading vote-getters in each contest making the fall ballot – regardless of party – comes from three minor parties with extreme-ly disparate ideologies – the Libertarians, the Greens and Peace and Freedom.

All claim top two, also known as the “jungle pri-mary” for its unpredict-ability, is unconstitutional because it almost never lets their members vote in November for their favor-ite candidates. Never mind that those candidates have unlimited opportunity to sell themselves in the pri-mary.

The minor parties saw their arguments rejected by a trial judge in 2012 and fi-nally got an appellate court hearing in January.

Some observers left

that hearing before a three-judge panel in San Francis-co feeling the challenge to top two would once again go nowhere.

The hearing opened with Judge Sandra Margu-lies, an appointee of ex-Gov. Gray Davis, asking whether independent voters were barred from voting in par-tisan primaries before pas-sage of Proposition 14. The correct answer would have been no, as both Democrats and Republicans since 2001 had allowed independents to vote in their contests if they wished.

But lawyers for the mi-nor parties responded by saying the reverse. Presum-

ably, Margulies and her col-leagues will have learned the correct answer else-where before issuing their ruling, due before April 15.

Opponents of top two also were disappointed that the minor party lawyers did not mention either Jesse Ventura or Audie Bock in their arguments. Ventura, who ran for Minnesota gov-ernor as an independent in 1998, pulled just 3 percent of the vote in the primary, but got a 37 percent plural-ity in that November’s run-off, taking office the follow-ing January.

Bock, running for an Oakland seat in the state Assembly as a Green candi-date in a 1999 special elec-tion, polled just 8.5 percent in the primary, but got 51 percent of the runoff vote.

“You can’t just jump from nothing to significant strength overnight,” said

Richard Winger, owner of the Ballot Access News newsletter and a longtime opponent of top two. “It takes time, and top two doesn’t allow enough time since you miss months of campaigning between the primary and the general.”

Don Siegel, a lead law-yer for the minor parties in their challenge to the current system, said the historical points are “not really relevant. This case is about whether candidates not in the mainstream can get a hearing in Novem-ber elections, when four or five times more people vote than in the primary.”

He argued that top two “violates the rights of peo-ple who want to vote for a small party candidate in November.”

The issue is whether those small party folks de-serve a place on the Novem-ber ballot if they’re not one of the top two in the prima-ry. When they passed Prop-osition 14, California voters were saying they don’t.

But Siegel argued that in a 34-year-old case involv-ing 1980 independent presi-dential candidate John An-derson, the U.S. Supreme Court held that “you have to let voters vote in periods of peak voter interest,” and turnout clearly shows pri-mary election season is not such a time.

Chances are the mi-nor parties will lose their appeal, as courts of appeal normally respect trial court decisions unless they have compelling reason not to.

But no one can be sure, which is why all political parties will be watching this decision closely, and voters should, too.

Incremental land development and the Merriam Mountains By G. Lance Johannsen

Incremental taking of habitat, bit-by-bit, parcel-by-parcel, is not something that was ever adequately addressed in the CEQA law of California. EIR’s all through the United States overlook the long-term effects of incremental manmade devel-opment. I would like to point out that the chaparral along Interstate 15 near the Deer Springs exit is about as pristine chaparral, as it can be. If approved, the new “Merriam Mountains Project” will take a few more hundred acres of chapar-ral out of the local ecosystem —chaparral that is a unique habitat for a variety of wild or indigenous animals of San Diego County.

There are experts on chaparral and they note that between development and wild fires, the southland is rapidly losing its local chaparral, to highly flammable perennial grasses or to artificially plant-ed green belts.

Incremental “taking of habitat” is happening all over the world, right in front of us, and apparently the best we can do is wring our hands, and mutter “It’s too bad, but what can we do?”

Global climate change, ocean plastic pollution, invasive species and diseases,

and even bee population collapse, are all negatives at work on our planet. To the majority of the ecological life science community, the combined effect of all this environmental negativity is simply a harbinger of the total world collapse on the horizon.

Even with the prospect of the total collapse of natural systems, the world and the United States are looking like they have little appetite to recognize impend-ing doom, because it is so preoccupied with wealth, political gamesmanship, smart phones, sports team standings, and selfies.

Twenty years ago, I went fishing with a guide on a boat, off San Felipe, Baja Cal-ifornia. I was aghast when the guide, at the end of the day, took all the onboard trash and threw it into the Sea of Cortez. Cruise ships did pretty much the same thing, not so long ago. The crux of this opinion, is that by sheer numbers of peo-ple on our planet, we are exerting a huge pressure against what natural systems and wild animal populations are left — often estimated at 10 percent or less than pre-mankind intervention.

G. Lance Johannsen is a Carlsbad resident.

By Marie WaldronAs many of you know, the slaughter of

elephants in Africa is continuing. An es-timated 96 elephants are killed each day for their ivory.

In addition, the world’s rhinoceros population has been decimated by poach-ers who hunt them only for their horns. As a result, one of the world’s oldest and most unusual animals may now face extinction in the wild.

Almost 40 years ago, California en-acted legislation to ban the sale of ivory products imported after June 1, 1977. Nevertheless, an illicit ivory trade has continued to flourish in our state.

New reports indicate that much of the ivory offered for sale by vendors in Cali-fornia violates state law, even though the items are often altered to look older or are advertised as antiques.

Consequently, Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins has introduced AB 96, which

will prohibit persons from importing, pur-chasing or selling elephant ivory or rhi-noceros horns in California.

This bill will close the longstand-ing loophole in California law which has helped fuel the world ivory trade, brought some rhinoceros populations to the brink of extinction and resulted in the deaths of tens of thousands of elephants.

AB 96 is supported by a number ma-jor wildlife conservation groups including the Wildlife Conservation Society, Cali-fornia Zoo and Aquarium Association and the Humane Society of the United States.

I am pleased to join Speaker Atkins as a co-author of AB 96, which I hope will reverse the downward spiral in elephant and rhinoceros populations and forever ensure the survival of these magnificent animals.

Marie Waldron is assemblymember of District 75.

It’s time to stop slaughtering elephants


By Ellen WrightCARLSBAD — “Art

isn’t easy,” sang the stu-dents at Pacific Ridge School, and neither is building a school.

After nearly eight years, the private school on Fuerte Street is finish-ing the final phases of con-struction with the opening of the middle school, ad-ministration building, and arts and technology center.

The school held a rib-bon cutting ceremony on Tuesday to celebrate the opening of the two new buildings.

“When we first came on here it was a field of dirt,” said Board of Trust-ees Chair Jay Lichter, “and at that point we looked at the school and somehow sent our kids here but now look at the magic that can happen when a community comes together for a worthy and shared cause, a beauti-ful campus.”

The Arts and Technol-ogy Center is more than 23,000 square feet and has a dance and theater arts studio, 2-D and 3-D art stu-dios, music practice rooms, a community hall and out-door amphitheater-style seating.

Officials said the tech-nology center reflects the schools commitments to STEAM, or science, tech-nology, engineering, art and math.

Students have been us-ing the building since early January.

Student Council Pres-ident Christian Potter said the new buildings don’t change the students, but they allow them more room for growth.

“We’re the exact same school, we’re the exact same students with the same excitement for learn-

ing and devotion to service that we’ve always been, we just now have more room to do these things,” Potter said.

The middle school and administration building has 11 classrooms, three science labs, a science and observation deck and two faculty workrooms.

Lusardi Construction, gkkworks and Swinerton Builders completed the buildings ahead of sched-ule.

The final upcoming phase is the construction of a parking lot, which Head of School Bob Ogle said is sorely needed.

At the planning com-mission meeting eight years ago, Ogle said one of the commissioners told him they would have a parking problem.

“I have to admit, sit-

ting there with an approved plan that had 100 parking

spaces and zero enrolled students, I thought to my-self, ‘wow, that would be great.’”

All of the communi-ty members and parents had to park off campus for the ribbon cutting cere-mony and get shuttled to the school, due to a lack of parking.

Ogle said school ad-ministrators were given 10 years to build permanent buildings, because the com-missioners said, schools of-ten end up “living in mod-ular buildings much longer than they intend.”

“I stand here today grateful to the city of Carls-bad for giving our little school a chance to thrive and thankful to this com-munity for helping us make good on that promise,” Ogle said.

The school now has 527 students ranging from sev-enth to 12th graders.

The buildings were funded by the Breaking Through Campaign, which

had hundreds of individual donors, and contributions from local companies, like Qualcomm and ViaSat and national organizations, like Google and GE.

The Pacific Ridge Jazz ensemble performed a per-sonalized rendition of Ed-ward Sharpe and the Mag-netic Zeros’ “Home.”

Students also gave a preview of the upcoming play “Pippin” and the Pa-cific Ridge Vocal Ensemble performed “Putting it To-gether.”

Mayor Pro Tem Keith Blackburn, Councilman Mi-chael Schumacher and Fire Chief Michael Davis were on hand for the ceremony.

Students thanked the donors and Student Coun-cil President Potter said they’re all relieved to no longer have construction noises.

“After months of construction, we (are) whole again,” Potter said. “We finally have our campus back.”

By Aaron BurginENCINITAS — Encin-

itas is looking for residents to tell their story of housing discrimination, in an effort to eradicate it from the com-munity.

City officials are in the midst of updating a critical fair housing analysis that is required for the city to con-

tinue to receive grant fund-ing the city uses to provide its low-incoming housing programs.

Part of the Analysis of Impediments for Fair Hous-ing Choice is the Fair Hous-ing Survey, which residents can fill out on the city’s web-site. Residents have until Feb. 13 to fill out the survey.

The city is also inviting residents to attend a com-munity workshop Feb. 10 at 6 p.m. at City Hall to learn about fair housing laws and to also share stories of hous-ing discrimination.

The fair housing analy-sis will provide demograph-ic data and assesses the housing needs for certain

income groups, evaluates housing opportunities and impediments to housing for all segments of the pop-ulation, while developing solutions to overcome those housing barriers.

This report, which is done every five years, is required for the city to be eligible for federal Com-

munity Development Block Grant funds, which are used for affordable housing programs, and a portion of which the city doles out to organizations that help low income residents.

For more information, contact (760) 943-2237 or visit the city’s website at encinitasca.gov

Encinitas’ fair housing survey deadline is Feb. 13Several stalwarts term outBy Aaron Burgin

ENCINITAS — The deadline has come and gone for incumbent commissioners to re-apply for spots on the city’s council-appointed advi-sory commissions, and sever-al long-time members are not seeking reappointment.

Several of the veteran commissioners, including Planning Commissioner JoAnn Shannon, are stepping down as a result of term lim-its the council imposed at the end of 2013 that took effect last year.

Shannon, who served a term on the commission during the 1990s before re-turning to the panel in 2010, said she enjoyed her time on the board, which allowed her to tap into her expertise of city planning, which was her college major.

“It was fabulous,” said Shannon, who also said her real estate business, which has picked up since the econ-omy has emerged from the recession, has consumed more of her time than when she was reappointed. “I don’t want to be in a position where I can’t fully devote the time necessary to the commission, so I think the term limits have served a purpose.”

Other commissioners who were termed out of their seats include senior citizens commissioners Joel King and Roger Bolus.

Another council appoin-tee, parks and recreation commissioner Sanford Sha-piro, opted not to seek reap-pointment. Reached Wednes-day, he said that he believed it was time to get more new people involved on the panel.

“I’ve served my time,” Shapiro said.

Another vacancy that is scheduled to be filled arose when Catherine Blakespear, formerly on the traffic and public safety commission, was elected to the City Coun-cil.

New applicants for the commission openings had un-til 6 p.m. Thursday to submit their applications.

The City Council will interview the appli-cants Feb. 18 and make appointments Feb. 25.

Each hormone plays a critical role in health and wellness. Examples of endocrine organs are thy-roid, adrenal, pituitary, ovary, testicle, pancreas, fat cells and parathyroid.

Did you know the number one hormone pro-ducing system is the gas-trointestinal system or that the number one cause of under active thyroid is an autoimmune condition?

The interplay be-

tween these hormones and the rest of the body is an intricate dance of the ut-most complexity.

Too often we fail to appreciate this complexi-ty and our health is taken for granted until an ail-ment makes us take stock of our health.

Sometimes it is a sub-tle tug for attention… a few extra pounds that keep hanging around well after the holidays year af-ter year.

Other times it can be dramatic…the literal “flash” of a hotflash.

If you are one of the minority that are proac-tive about your health, kudos to you and those lucky enough to call you their friend, family and health champion. Even those who are proactive can benefit from a health advocate.

Hopefully you find this advocate in your doc-tor.

If that is not the case, it is time to make your health your most valuable asset and highest priority.

Often times it takes a dramatic event to have someone see a doctor yet you wouldn’t wait for your car’s gas tank to be completely empty before rolling yourself to the gas pump.

I like to use the meno-pausal transition as an example. Each person is truly an individual and some women do not notice any symptoms while for others life has come to a pause. There is a “pause” in “menoPAUSE” for a reason.

The average age of menopause is 51 years old. Peri-menopause occurs several years before this

and the hallmark sign is irregular periods. Men also go through a hormon-al transition.

Andro-pause is more gradual but just as health altering.

What one does not feel is the slow deterioration in bone health that can progress to osteoporosis or the change in one’s cho-lesterol that can increase risk of cardiovascular dis-ease.

This is where the beauty of Western med-icine can be harnessed with the right touch.

There are state of the art genetic and meta-bolic tests available that can identify individuals

at risk for various diseas-es and I will personally tailor one’s treatment ac-cordingly.

I feel fortunate to call myself a San Diego na-tive. I have had the priv-ilege of being trained at top-notch institutions in-cluding UCSD, New York University, Scripps and Stanford University. I re-main on the faculty of UCSD School of Medicine as a Clinical Assistant Professor of Medicine.

As an endocrinologist I look at the whole person, including their environ-ment and behavior, and tailor the best diagnostic and treatment tools we have to be their ultimate health advocate.

From high tech de-vices such diabetes pumps, continuous glu-cose sensors and interac-tive fitness companions, I integrate the best that Western medicine has to offer with complimentary approaches that are thou-sands of years old.

One of the most mem-orable essays in medicine on the care of patients was written by Dr. Fran-cis Peabody, at about the same time that hormones were first discovered over one hundred years ago. He said, “The secret in the care of the patient, is in ‘caring for the pa-tient.’” His words are timeless, and we at Center for Hormonal Health and Well-Being subscribe to this philosophy.

Too often we fail to appreciate

this complexity and our health is taken for granted until an ailment makes us take stock of our health.”

By Ellen WrightCARLSBAD — The

Carlsbad Police Depart-ment launched a campaign on Jan. 1 to reduce drunk-en driving in the city.

According to Police Lt. Mickey Williams, who is heading up the DUI cam-paign, it is part of the re-gion-wide effort to reduce DUI’s — the “Avoid the 8 on 78” campaign — which refers to the eight law en-forcement departments along state Route 78.

“ D e p a r t m e n t a l l y we’ve just decided this year to put a stronger em-phasis on DUI enforce-ment,” Williams said.

Last year, there were seven traffic fatalities, al-though not all were alcohol related, according to Wil-liams.

In an effort to reduce traffic fatalities to zero, the department is assign-ing one or two officers each night to DUI enforcement and offering more DUI re-lated training to officers.

“It’s kind of an intri-cate, detail-oriented type of enforcement,” Williams said.

Officers have to do pre-liminary alcohol screening tests and properly adminis-ter chemical tests as part of DUI enforcement.

Another portion of en-forcement is writing spe-cific DMV reports, which Williams said, is not nec-essary for other types of incidents.

“There’s just a lot of things that go into DUI enforcement that are unique,” Williams said, “and if you don’t do it fre-quently it may be a chal-lenge.”

Seven traffic fatalities

aren’t “exceedingly high,” said Williams. He said in past years, traffic fatalities have reached 11 or 12 but the goal of the department is always to have zero.

“This is more a direct-ed approach to try and ad-dress a serious issue that we recognize,” Williams said.

The department is working with the city’s traffic engineer to identify areas that have had histor-ically high DUI related in-cidents.

Williams said those areas will be targeted, but not at the exclusion of ev-erywhere else.

The targeted enforce-ment doesn’t cost any-thing. It’s a reallocation of resources.

“We’re trying to work not just harder but smart-er,” Williams said.

Survey results are in, Del Marians are satisfied

By Bianca KaplanekDEL MAR — Del Mar resi-

dents are pretty happy with the way the city is being run, but most feel officials are not doing a very good job communicating with them, according to an online survey conducted from Nov. 20 through Jan. 12.

Of the 450 people who re-sponded, 52 percent reported being somewhat satisfied and 25 percent indicated they were very satisfied when asked how Del Mar is doing overall to provide city services.

Nearly 20 percent said they were either very or somewhat dis-satisfied.

Repairing streets, crime pre-vention and encouraging a more vibrant downtown business are ranked as services that should be prioritized. Adding new recre-ational opportunities rated low on the list.

When it comes to maintain-ing streets and roads, respondents are somewhat split, with 52 per-cent indicating satisfaction and about 43 percent saying they are dissatisfied.

The city received high marks in most other areas, such as pro-viding trash collection and re-cycling services (92 percent sat-isfaction) and maintaining the beach (83 percent), Powerhouse Community Center and the li-

brary (85 percent), other city-owned properties (78 percent) and landscaped medians (77 per-cent).

Public safety services pro-vided by the city, including fire protection (74 percent), life-guards (82 percent) and parking enforcement (67 percent), also fared well, with more than half of the respondents in each category saying they are very or somewhat satisfied.

About 60 percent of Del Mar-ians said the same about the rang-er services. As for the Sheriff’s Department, 54, 67 and 51 per-cent, respectively, are satisfied with the enforcement of traffic laws, crime prevention and vis-ibility in the community. Only 31 percent are satisfied with re-sponse times.

More than half of those tak-ing the survey indicated satisfac-tion with administrative services, such as addressing and respond-ing to resident inquiries and con-cerns. But only 43 percent gave high marks to the development and design review process.

Nearly 24 percent said the city could provide better infor-mation and be more transparent, while 21 percent said better gov-ernment officials are needed to improve administrative services. Two percent opposed replacing city hall.

Most respondents, 84 per-cent, said they learn about what’s happening in the city by reading local newspapers, and 98 percent said the city could do a better job communicating with residents.

If the city had more money

to improve services, 47 percent of respondents said it should be spent on fire protection, while 45 percent indicated it should go toward law enforcement. Street maintenance and sidewalk im-provements also rated high, gar-nering support from 43 percent and 27 percent of respondents, respectively.

The final question was open-ended, giving people a chance to provide additional com-ments. Almost 28 percent said Del Mar is a great place to live.

“The one thing that they wanted to get off their chests was positive,” said Adam Probolsky of Probolsky Research, which con-ducted the survey.

He also said 450 participants

Schedule to build city hall adoptedBy Bianca Kaplanek

DEL MAR — With the master planning phase to replace city hall on target to wind up March 2, city offi-cials are ready to begin the design stage.

And if all goes as planned, according to a schedule unanimously ad-opted by council members at the Feb. 2 meeting, a new civic center complex will be ready for occupancy in a lit-tle more than two years.

Residents have until Feb. 13 to complete Voice Your Choice, an online poll that asks community mem-bers to rank three options for development of a new city hall.

The results will be pre-sented March 3 to council members, who will use the information to determine how to develop the site.

The design phase is set to begin in April, when an architectural team is ex-pected to be selected. An ad hoc committee is review-ing proposals that were due Jan. 20. Following inter-views with those deemed qualified, a recommenda-tion will be made April 20.

Schematic design ef-forts will then begin. This phase includes refining the program and developing op-tions for the site plans and schematic solutions, such as massing, functionality and general layout.

A community workshop is planned for May to dis-cuss the design direction. Design development, which will refine materials and building details, is expect-

ed to take place between late July and mid-Novem-ber.

A Sept. 28 workshop is planned to discuss the de-sign direction and garner community input.

A community participa-tion program meeting will be conducted Oct.12.

An initial review by the Design Review Board is scheduled for Aug. 26. The DRB hearing to issue a permit is slated for Jan. 27, 2016.

The process to secure land conservation, coastal development and tree re-moval permits will begin that month as well.

A required California Environmental Quality Act review is scheduled to take place from April 2015 through January 2016. This includes an environmental impact report.

The financing process should begin next month and run through January. From June through Novem-ber plans will be made to set up city hall in a tempo-rary facility during con-struction, with relocation slated for Thanksgiving weekend.

The process to select a contractor will take place in April 2016, with an award expected May 2. Demolition should start by the end of this year, with construction expected to begin in May 2016.

If everything stays on schedule, which isn’t likely given the size of the project,

By Promise Yee OCEANSIDE — The

North County LGBTQ Re-source Center held its fourth annual town hall meeting to share its yearly accomplishments and fu-ture goals Jan. 30.

Financials, programs and outreach efforts were discussed along with the news of recently appoint-ed city, police and fire de-partment liaisons. Neigh-borhood Services Director Margery Pierce, police Lt. Leonard Cosby and fire bat-talion Chief Felipe Rodri-guez will serve as liaisons.

The center took a big step to expand its out-reach to Oceanside Unified School District last year with teacher and staff sen-sitivity training on LGBTQ students.

Trained teachers can display a rainbow sticker to let students know their classroom is a safe zone and LGBTQ slurs will not be tol-erated.

Along with the posi-tive impacts the center is having, grim statistics were shared. For example, one in four transgender individ-uals commits suicide or is murdered.

Also, same sex mar-riage is legal in 36 states, but it is allowable to fire someone based on their sex-ual orientation in 29 states.

Max Disposti, center founder and executive di-rector, summed up social challenges that still exist.

“In Alabama you can get married, and get fired for being gay,” Disposti said.

Needs for services were also shared and brought home by testimonies of family members of LGBTQ individuals.

Michelle Powers, a mother of two sons, one who is transgender, shared her

experience. She grew up in the southern Bible belt with strong religious convictions and little knowledge about transgender individuals. Her daughter Hanna told her that he was a boy inside a girl’s body. Powers took the steps to learn and un-derstand more about trans-genders to help her trans-gender son, now named Hayden, through the tran-sition process. She said the PFLAG support group was a big help to her and her family.

“A shift happens,” Powers said. “There are 30 other families in the group, now I have people I can talk to.”

Powers said she is for-ever changed, and is a more compassionate person now.

Councilman Chuck Lowery also shared his grat-itude for the work of Dispo-sti, the center and how far Oceanside has come since the 1950s.

Lowery said his fa-ther is gay, and it was dif-ficult for him to watch the discrimination his father faced. He said his childhood taught him compassion.

Lowery pledged a pri-

vate donation of $500 to the center and said the dona-tion comes from a personal spot in his heart.

Later that night the San Diego Human Dignity Foundation made a $13,000 donation. Foundation Exec-utive Director John Brown said the donation goes to support the best programs to aid the LGBTQ commu-nity.

Brown praised Disposti and the center’s programs, outreach events and train-ings.

He stressed the impor-tance of educating people about the LGBTQ commu-nity.

“When people hate, they’re filled with anger, and that’s ignorance,” Brown said. “Once some-thing is learned, you can’t unlearn it. There’s no going back from this.”

The LGBTQ resource center operated on an $189,000 budget last year with 38 percent of funds go-ing toward programs. Other expenses include staff, fa-cility rental, operations and marketing.

Last year’s operating budget was twice that of the

previous year, and allowed many new programs.

Funds to support the center were gained through fundraisers, grants and do-nations, with top amounts raised through the annual Gala Fundraiser, and con-tributed by San Diego Hu-man Dignity Foundation grants.

Future goals of the LGBTQ center include out-reach to inland school dis-tricts, and finding a larger facility for the overbooked center.

In the year ahead the center will work to increase contributions to expand its programs.

The North County LGBTQ Resource Center was named a top-rated nonprofit in 2014 by the GreatNonprofits donor and volunteer site.

Assistance League offers thanks and shopping inviteBy Bianca Kaplanek

SOLANA BEACH — Council members at the Jan. 28 meeting received words of gratitude and an in-vitation to go shoe shopping from the Assistance League of Rancho San Dieguito, which was recently awarded a $3,000 grant from the city for Operation School Bell Clothing Children.

The organization ap-plied for the money as part of the annual Community Grants Program, which pro-vided a total of $25,000 to nearly 20 local groups that serve those in need in the city.

The Assistance League was granted the money in December with the condi-tion, suggested by Council-man Mike Nichols, that the funds be spent in Solana Beach.

“I don’t want to give them money to spend out-side (the city),” he said.

“In keeping with the provision that the dollars be spent in Solana Beach, we are happy to announce a shoe-shopping event at our local Marshalls for the children of the Head Start Program at St. Leo’s,” Ro-berta Waterman, Assistance League board president, said.

“We would be honored to have each and every one

of you join us on either Feb. 12 or the 19th from 5 p.m. until 6:30,” she added.

Valerie Thatcher, vice president of programs, said the Assistance League es-tablished a relationship with Marshalls and they are working together to create a system to serve as many children as possible.

“This year instead of servicing 70 we’ll be able to provide shoes for 80,” Thatcher said. “And instead of providing $20 per young-ster we get to provide $30.”

She said Marshalls is going to pull shoes from other stores and put them on sale so children can get more than one pair, possibly up to three.

“So they’re really try-ing to support our efforts, and we’re trying to support their efforts,” Thatcher said. “But it was all due to the grant that you provided us.”

“We thank you for your demonstration of confidence in our organization and the assistance in meeting our ob-jectives,” Waterman said.

“Hopefully this is the first Assistance League event that you can hold there, and there’ll be many more to come,” Mayor Lesa Heebner said. “And I’ll do my best to be there because I do love shoe shopping.”

City looks into Mobile home park complaintsBy Promise Yee

OCEANSIDE — Trou-bles may not be over for mo-bile home owners.

Residents’ complaints about unfair park manage-ment practices prompted the City Council to direct City Attorney John Mullen to look into allegations of obstructing home sales on Jan. 21. State laws prohibit park owners from inhibiting home sales.

Mullen said fact-finding is now in progress.

Mullen met with home-owner representatives on Jan. 28, and will meet with park managers and other involved parties within 60 days.

He said if there proves to be a problem, the next step will be to determine the role of the city.

In order for a mobile home owner to sell their coach, the park owner must approve the buyer.

Complaints from home-owners include buyers being denied for no stated reason, and park managers yelling at prospective buyers and chasing them off the site.

Linda Walshaw, mobile home owner representative

for ACTION citizens group and resident of Mission View mobile home park, met with Mullen and other city and homeowner representatives on Jan. 21.

She said she appreciates council getting the ball roll-ing.

“Thank goodness the city reached out to offer this help,” Walshaw said. “They’re saying there’s a problem, and they will help to fix it.”

Walshaw said she re-ceives daily complaints from mobile home owners, who cannot afford private attor-neys to resolve issues. She said many complaints are about hostile management practices, and verge on fi-nancial elder abuse.

During the 60-day fact-finding period home-owners will submit docu-mentation of questionable incidents, and Mullen will contact realtors who have

had unfavorable encounters with park managers. Park owners and managers in question will also have their say.

Mullen said he would bring recommendations to City Council by Feb. 20.

Three years ago mobile home owners faced the pos-sibility of rent decontrol that would nullify city laws that protect homeowners from unregulated space rent in-creases. Proposition E was put on the June 2012 ballot to do away with rent control, and was defeated.

Walshaw said problems with management at many of the 17 mobile home parks have been consistent since the proposition failed.

Avett Brothers comfortable in a crowdBy Alan Sculley

Fans that come to Avett Brothers this winter expecting to see the kind of stripped down, acous-tic performance that was the group’s trademark for the first decade of the ac-claimed folk-rock group’s career will be in for a whole new experience.

The core trio of broth-ers Scott and Seth Avett and Bob Crawford now have plenty of company on stage — with drummer Mike Marsh, keyboardist Paul Delfigia, cellist Joe Kwon and fiddle player Ta-nia Elizabeth now in the touring lineup. Crawford likes what he’s hearing and seeing and thinks his group is really capitalizing on its expanded live sound.

“What we found when we hit the stage a few nights in a row (recently) was that

we are kind of sitting on top of a powder keg as far as sound,” Crawford said in a recent phone interview. “And we can take these songs that were originally recorded with three instru-ments and work them to seven, really expand them, create a lot of depth, a lot of new harmonies.

“We’ve got a lot of ca-pability that we are really working hard to unleash,” he said.

The beefed up lineup and live sound shouldn’t come as a total surprise.

Formed in 2000 by brothers Scott (vocals, ban-jo, harmonica, guitar, pia-no) and Seth Avett (vocals, guitars, piano), the group evolved into a trio in 2002 when bassist/fiddle player Crawford was added to the lineup. That year, the group released its first full-length

studio album, “Country Was.” A concert CD, “Live at the Double Door Inn,” followed later that year.

Over the next four years, the Avett Brothers steadily gained attention within the alt-country/Americana scene, as the group released such well-re-ceived albums as “A Caro-lina Jubilee” (2003), “Mi-gnonette” (2004), “Four Thieves Gone: The Robbins-ville Sessions” (2006) and “Emotionalism” (2007).

The albums all high-lighted strong songwrit-ing, but mainly stuck to a rough-hewn, largely acous-tic sound.

But that sound changed dramatically after the Avett Brothers signed to uber-producer Rick Rubin’s American Recordings label and partnered with Rubin for the 2009 album “I and

Love and You.”That CD that retained

the Avetts’ acoustic foun-dation, but broadened its instrumental and stylistic reach.

The group has contin-ued down a similar path with its sound on its next two albums — 2012’s “The Carpenter” and its cur-rent release, “Magpie and the Dandelion” — both of which were also produced by Rubin (whose eclectic resume includes producing albums by the Beastie Boys, Slayer and Johnny Cash).

On “Magpie,” for in-stance, “Open Ended Life,” with its gracious vocal mel-ody, and prominent use of fiddle, banjo and harmon-ica, could have worked in an austere instrumental setting. Instead, the group

Meet Joli Beal, a suc-cessful plein air painter from Del Mar, Calif. Plein air is a French term mean-ing “open air” and refers to painting that is done outdoors usually in one ses-sion with touch-ups done in the studio. It became pop-ular in the mid-1800s par-ticularly in France when pre-mixed oil pigments became available and an easily transportable box easel or porchade (quick sketch box) was developed. Southern California is ide-al for plein air painting with its abundant sunshine and beautiful coastline. Joli has a bachelor’s degree from UC Irvine in social ecology and also attended the Design Institute of San Diego. She became a mem-ber of ASID (American Society of Interior Decora-tors) and became an interi-

or designer after working with a high-end designer from La Jolla for several years. We met at her beau-tifully landscaped home in Del Mar where her ocean, mountain, and urbanscape paintings are interspersed with many of her favorite artists.

When did you first begin painting?

Well, I didn’t start with plein air. I began copying photographs from Sierra Club books and painted nature scenes. I set my ea-sel up in the entry hall so I could keep an eye on my children and not be in their face when they were “wild teenagers.” I went on to study for two years under Sebastian Capella, a well-loved painter from Spain and a professor at USD. After that I took numerous

Unveiling a 16-year Encinitas tradition

One of the most anticipated an-nual art events of coastal

North County is about to be-gin. Now in its 16th season, the 2015 Arts Alive Banner unveiling will be held on Valentine’s Day at the for-mer Cabo Grill in Leucadia.

The exhibit includes 99 original works of art that will be on display along a six-mile stretch of Coast Highway 101, as far north as La Costa Avenue and as far south as the Cardiff Town Center.

The 2015 Arts Alive Exhibit, organized and pro-duced by 101 Artists Colo-ny, Cardiff 101 Main Street and Leucadia 101 Main Street, is partially funded by sponsors including Car-diff Seaside Market, Han-sen’s Surf Shop, SPY Optic and The Coast News Group.

Executive director of Cardiff 101 Main Street Tess Radmill says of the an-nual project, “Cardiff 101 is proud to be involved with the Arts Alive Banner Pro-gram.

“Our partnership with the 101 Artists Colony and the Leucadia 101 Main Street enables us to bring unique and high quality art to our streets along the Coast Highway and at the Cardiff Town Center.”

Originated in 2000 by the all-volunteer 101 Artists Colony, the Arts Alive Ban-ner exhibit has become a favorite tradition along the Coast Highway.

According to Danny Salzhandler, president of

the 101 Artists Colony, “The Encinitas Arts Alive Banners, while adding color and creativity to our histor-ic Coast Highway for three months every year, serve as much more to Downtown. Arts Alive and the 101 Art-ists Colony have boosted the arts community that has always been part of Encinitas. A few years ago our Main Street Association was presented with the Na-tional Historic Main Street Award and the work of local artists played no small part in receiving that recogni-tion.”

Each November select-ed artists receive blank banners and have approx-imately one month to com-plete their paintings.

Soon after all finished banners are collected, the Arts Alive team assists Carlsbad photographer Ste-phen Whalen as he takes high-resolution photos of each original work of art.

Chargers center Nick Hardwick retires from the game. File photo by Bill Reilly

For once Hardwick is center of attention

Nick Hardwick wasn’t just in the NFL.

He was what the NFL wished in all its players.

Hardwick, the Char-gers’ center, retired and the game isn’t better because of it.

Eleven years ago Hard-wick appeared with Philip Rivers, fresh-faced draft picks facing a room full of media.

“I think they were mostly there to see Philip,’’ Hardwick reflected.

But that wasn’t the case Tuesday as current and for-mer Chargers, coaches and front-office folks said good-bye to Hardwick.

“Guys like this don’t come around very often,’’ coach Mike McCoy said in between sniffles. “They re-ally don’t.’’

It was a tough, but joy-ous, day. It was emotional. It was one speaker after another trying to stiff-arm tears.

“I’m not going to be able to do it,’’ Rivers said, and here came the halting voice and long pauses.

Hardwick’s departure because of neck injuries hit hard, although it wasn’t un-expected.

After being forced from the season opener, Hard-wick’s dramatic weight loss proved he was done.

Hardwick’s career shows he was a Pro Bowler, a three-time Chargers of-fensive lineman of the year and on its 50th anniversary team.

If Rivers was the aw-shucks, southern kid, Hard-wick was the Mid-western monster.

The two blended like peanut butter and jelly, able to finish each other sentences or say volumes with a look.

“There was a special bond, in a football aspect, that I don’t know if it can be duplicated,’’ Rivers said. “It

will never be the same and I speak for every teammate that he ever had.

“We will really miss Nick the football player, but Nick the man the most. We love you, man.’’

That goes for scores of children deserving better, too.

Hardwick was tireless in his work with the Ma-rine Corps-Law Enforce-ment Foundation. It’s for kids whose parent gave the ultimate sacrifice while serving others. They had a friend in Hardwick as he helped raise dough for their college costs.

Good dude, that Hard-wick. That’s why so many were reaching for Kleenex.

Seeing macho football players get teary told of their respect for Hardwick.

The biggest compli-ment for any player is be-ing called a good teammate and Hardwick was that and more.

Hardwick and Rivers were also the Chargers’ Sis-kel and Ebert. They burned endless hours watching vid-eo, striving to get an edge.

“That was a reason for my successful career is that I spent so much time in that room with him,” Hardwick said. “That was my favorite part and that is what I’m go-ing to miss.”

We’ll miss seeing No. 61 hitching his pants, pointing out blocking assignments while barking out adjust-ments.

Hardwick was pro’s pro and despite his position, never the center of position — until Tuesday.

Come Monday, he’ll start with KGB radio on its afternoon-drive show. Get ready for plenty of The Band, Neil Young and Pearl Jam and what’s wrong with that?

Just like there’s noth-ing askew going through life with Hardwick’s atti-tude.

“What a party this has been,’’ he said. “I’ve had the time of my life.’’

Green up your home or business with living art

ENCINITAS — When you think of art, what comes to mind? A beauti-ful oil painting, or maybe a bronze sculpture? For Madeline Sims, art is also found in a less traditional form — plants.

Sims is the owner of Greens & Things, an in-terior plantscape design business in Encinitas. She and her team design and install plants in contain-ers, but it is much more than that. “We make living art,” she said. “Our goal is to create beautiful artwork with our plants, succulents and orchids.”

Sims, who studied hor-ticulture in Arizona, be-gan her business in 1996. “I saw an ad in the paper for a plant franchise, but it was too expensive,” she said. “I decided to start my own business. It start-ed with just me, and we’ve slowly built it up over the years in our greenhouse in Leucadia.”

Greens & Things specializes in container plants. Sims and her team design, install and main-tain plants for residential and commercial properties all over the county. “Our clients include homeown-ers, business owners, lux-ury condo complexes, re-sorts, banks and property managers.”

The new year marked the end of the busy holi-day season for Greens & Things. “We started deco-rating for clients for Hal-loween in September, and continue on through for the holidays.” Sims will design, set up and — most importantly for many — take down clients’ holiday displays.

Greens & Things also does custom arrangements using beautiful flowers, orchids and plants. “Our orchid arrangements are

phenomenal,” Sims said. “They are artistic cen-terpieces for your enjoy-ment.”

Spring is fast ap-proaching, and with it comes the busiest home selling season of the year.

Many clients turn to Greens & Things to help stage their homes with plants. “We simply stage it for the resale ‘wow’ fac-tor,” Sims said.

Another valuable ser-vice Greens & Things of-fers is plant maintenance. Although it seems simple enough, many residential and commercial proper-ty owners don’t have the knowledge or the time to properly care for their plants.

One mistake Sims sees is people who think their indoor plant looks un-healthy, so they put it out-side to get some sunshine. “When you put an interi-or plant in the sun, it will kill it,” she said. “The sun burns it.”

Sims said often people have a hard time getting into the routine of caring for their plants. “We offer a systematic way to keep the plants healthy and vi-brant inside their environ-ment.”

Sims cares as much about the community as she does her beloved plants. “I love Encinitas,” she said. “The city has al-ways worked with me and supported me.” She also has clients who have been with her since her business started nearly two decades ago.

“I’m grateful I get to work in a business I love,” Sims said. “I just love it!”

Greens & Things, based in Encinitas, specializes in container plants with a goal to create beautiful “living” artwork using succulents, or-chids and other plants.

Davidson Communities earns national honorsDEL MAR — Known for

its high standards in design and detail, Davidson Com-munities has won national honors for architectural achievement at Arterro at La Costa, an enclave of large family homes located at the east end of La Costa Avenue.

Honored in the category of multi-generational living space, every plan at Arterro offers a bedroom and con-necting bath on the ground floor, ideal for grandparents, extended family or older children still living at home.

“It’s all about flexibility these days and these floor plans can be adapted for all kinds of social configura-tions,” said Cathie McGill, vice president of sales and marketing for Davidson Communities, a privately held home builder head-quartered in Del Mar.

Arterro’s recognition came last month at the In-ternational Builders’ Show during the 35th annual Na-tionals awards, which show-cases the best of the home building industry.

With the ability to merge multiple generations into one harmonized living space, Arterro offers up to six-and-a-half bedrooms with three-and-a-half to five-and-a-half baths, and a three-car garage. Situat-ed on home sites that av-erage 7,000 square feet, plans range from 3,288 to 4,434 square feet. Designed by R. Douglas Mansfield,

AIA, interior merchandis-ing was provided by Design Line Interiors. Now selling in its sixth phase, Arter-ro is priced from the mid-$900,000s.

“We took the time to do things a little differently here at Arterro,” said Mc-Gill. “Because the property is elevated, the views vary from house-to-house. To cap-ture the very best natural light, views and breeze, we designed each individual home with the master bed-room in either the front or back of the house. There is no ‘one size fits all’ here.”

This is just the latest honor for Arterro, which has also been recognized as the Best New Community of the Year by the Building Indus-

try Association of Southern California and the Building Industry Association of San Diego.

Arterro is a 22-acre res-idential element of the new, mixed-use La Costa Town Square project, which fea-tures a 253,800 square-foot community shopping center and two office buildings to-taling 50,000 square feet.

“A big plus for our homeowners is the ability to walk to several markets and other specialty services,” said McGill, who noted that the mixed-use center is an-chored by a Vons Lifestyle store.

Arterro at La Costa is located at 3442 Sitio Sandia, near the junction of Rancho Santa Fe Road and La Costa

Avenue. For more informa-tion, call (760) 632-8400.

These days I’m seeing more and more signs of stress in patients.

You know the kind of thing I mean — cracked and worn down teeth from grinding and clenching, exposed roots from brush-ing too hard and bleeding gums.

Many people believe that poor oral hygiene is the only way to get gum disease, but stress and diet can both be triggers, espe-cially if you’re genetically pre-disposed.

If you are, you may be six times more likely to develop gum disease than your neighbor!

Here are some lifestyle strategies that can help im-prove your oral and overall health.

Drink green tea. Ky-ushu University research-ers say that routine intake may also help promote healthy teeth and gums, possibly by interfering with the body’s inflammatory re-sponse to oral bacteria.

Meditate daily. Re-searchers at Charles Drew University and the Univer-sity of Hawaii found that Transcendental Meditation reduced depressive symp-toms an average of 48 per-cent in clinically depressed participants.

Drink lots of water.

Loma Linda University re-searchers found that drink-ing five or more 8-ounce glasses of water a day could help lower your risk of heart disease by up to 60 percent, the same as exer-cise, diet and not smoking.

Smile more. Research-ers at Harvard and the Mayo Clinic found that op-timists live longer healthi-er lives and numerous stud-ies show that smiling can positively affect your body-like true happiness.

Get regular dental

care. It’s a proven way to eliminate stress about your oral health!

So now that you have done all the right things for your oral health, what if your smile is just not quite as dazzling as you would like it to be.

Now is the time to do something nice for yourself — you’ve earned it!

Consider a safe, reli-able cosmetic dental proce-dure: whitening. No matter how rigorously you follow your dental care routine, many of life’s simpler so-

cial pleasures like drink-ing tea, coffee and red wine will gradually stain your teeth.

Sometimes yellow is just a fact of aging or the result of using some medi-cations.

And some people are just unlucky in the heredi-tary sweepstakes.

Increasing numbers of adults are improving the appearance and function of their teeth.

We often correct cracked, chipped or un-evenly spaced teeth, using bonding or with veneers.

We can use crowns to repair severely damaged teeth, and bridges and im-plants can be natural-look-ing choices to energize your smile.

We want your smile to radiate the health you feel. Reward yourself...ask Sun Smile Dental about how we can help you to achieve your best smile possible: healthy, vibrant and natu-ral!

Sun Smile Dental of-fers early morning and late evening appointments to accommodate busy sched-ules and offers 24-hour emergency care. They are located at 1582 W. San Mar-cos Blvd., Suite 201.

Local woman pairs seniors in need with peersREGION — Kathryn Johnston knew

that she wanted to start a business that was purposeful, something she was pas-sionate about. What she didn’t know was that she would soon be faced with a series of personal circumstances that would lead her directly to her dream.

“I was blessed with the opportu-nity to be there to help a lifelong friend through her last months as her primary caregiver,” Johnston said. Cyndy, who had been a friend of Johnston’s since she was 10, had late-stage breast cancer and called upon Johnston to help her prepare for her death. Johnston spent four months living with Cyndy, helping her with her doctor’s appointments, meals, caring for her daughter and making end-of-life de-cisions.

“From that experience I realized how important it was to have someone help you when you are at that stage of life or finding it difficult or impossible to maintain the life you want,” Johnston said. “I also learned how meaningful it can be to help someone who is dying and needs your help.”

While caring for Cyndy, Johnston’s mother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. “After Cyndy passed, I started taking an active role in taking care of my mother on a daily basis. Again, I realized how much she needed me but also how much I gained from the experience.

A phone call from a friend in Wash-ington state was the final piece of the puz-zle. “My dear friend Carrie told me about her experience with Seniors Helping Se-niors,” Johnston said. “She was emphatic about her confidence that Seniors Help-ing Seniors was a great organization and that I would be a perfect fit to lead a local franchise. On faith, I contacted SHS and here we are.”

Seniors Helping Seniors is an in-home, nonmedical caregiving company for seniors by seniors. Johnston hires se-nior caregivers to go in and take care of transportation, light housekeeping, meal preparation, companion care, personal care, handyman services, shopping and overnight stays. “We are here for all of the needs a senior might have,” Johnston

said.It all starts and ends with the seniors

who participate. “I find seniors who are loving, caring and compassionate with the heart of a volunteer,” Johnston said. These seniors, who are paid for their time, are paired with other seniors who want to remain independent in their homes and could benefit from interaction with a peer. “It’s like having a friend stop by,” Johnston said.

“I find that many seniors want to stay in their homes,” Johnston said. “There seems to be an effort — on several fronts — to break down this healthy indepen-

dence and convince folks that it’s best to move into senior facilities well before any real need arises. However, it’s more cost effective for them to stay at home until they are needing more than 40 hours of care a week. Additionally, studies have shown that seniors live better lives when they are in their own homes.”

Johnston’s work with seniors stems from a desire to help as well as a great respect for “America’s Greatest Genera-tion.”

“The reason we have all the oppor-tunities we have today is because of these seniors,” Johnston said. “It should be the easiest thing in the world to identify. These people built, sacrificed and de-fended everything truly good about The United States of America.”

The benefits are twofold, as the care-givers are also gaining from their experi-ences. “There are many great companies providing services to our senior commu-nity,” Johnston said. “However, we are the only one that sees and meets the need for the added value of putting active and vibrant seniors in the role of caregivers, drivers, personal assistants and more. We are always looking to hire seniors and to help seniors who need care.”

Following simple steps can help reduce employee absenteeism. Courtesy photo

Big (but easy) ways businesses can reduce employee absenteeism

(BPT) — An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure — especial-ly for small businesses grappling with the high costs of worker absentee-ism. Employee time lost to health issues costs Ameri-can businesses $84 billion a year. For U.S. business-es, helping workers stay healthy costs far less than the financial impact of having them miss work for illness or injury.

With cold and flu sea-son in full swing, HR di-rectors and other business leaders should take steps to help employees stay healthy and on the job. Here are seven steps your small company can take to help reduce worker absen-teeism:

1. Encourage healthful habits.

Simple factors such as getting enough sleep and frequent hand washing can go a long way toward keep-ing people healthy. While you can’t make workers get seven to eight hours of sleep, you can spread the word on how it’s done. Key tricks? Turn off the electronic devices an hour before bedtime, avoid caf-feine and alcohol, and go to bed at the same time every night.

Employers can more directly encourage oth-er healthful habits, such as hygiene. Create mini-health stations throughout the office and include hand sanitizer, fresh tissues and a covered receptacle near-by. Post signs with proper hand-washing guidelines in company restrooms. You can promote a healthy diet by providing healthful options such as trail mix and water in vending ma-chines. Distribute healthy recipes (try the spaghetti squash!).

2. Provide 24/7 support through a wellness pro-gram.

Businesses that offer employee wellness pro-grams like the health and wellness solutions provid-ed by Provant can lower their medical costs and offer a spectrum of ad-ditional benefits, includ-ing reduced absenteeism. Customized workplace

wellness programs give employees round-the-clock access to valuable informa-tion, health professionals and advice, live or via tech-nology, that can help them stay healthy. Plus, these programs can help em-ployees manage diseases, assess their health and set personal wellness goals.

3. Reward well-being ac-tions.

Sometimes inertia is all that stands between employees and improved health. You can inspire employees to be healthier by offering, say, an exer-cise class at lunch. Provant health incentive programs such as reimbursement for gym memberships, health challenges for most miles walked in a month, insur-ance premium reimburse-ments, or rewards points (good for merchandise) for healthful habits have seen marked increases in en-gagement and significant health risk migration for those rewarded for their healthy choices.

4. De-stress the workplaceStress is part of hav-

ing a job, but you can help workers stay healthy and be more productive by helping them manage that stress. Give them chances to get up from their desk — how about making that next meeting a walking one? Offer a workshop on relaxation techniques, and make sure your health plan offers an Employee Assistance Program for mental health help. Have a de-stress zone in the office.

5. Provide auxiliary bene-fits.

Auxiliary benefits such as dental or vision coverage support employ-ees’ overall health main-tenance and value-adds such as partnerships with local farms for vegetables, dry-cleaning drop-off ser-vice, and onsite fitness classes create a conve-nience factor that encour-ages healthy engagement. In addition to supporting employee health, they are a low-cost way to round out a benefits package without increasing monthly premi-um costs.

Dogs smell the flowers for benefit walk in the gardenENCINITAS — “You

guys are older than dirt!” was the comment was made by a participant during last year’s “5K Paw Walk in the Garden” benefiting the San Diego Botanic Garden and Rancho Coastal Hu-mane Society. Now RCHS is another year older and is challenging the public to join them. Sign up now at sdpets.org or sdbgarden.org for the third annual “5K Paw Walk in the Garden” starting at 9:30 a.m. Feb. 21 at 230 Quail Gardens Drive in Encinitas.

“Saying that we’re old-er than dirt doesn’t offend either of these landmark organizations,” said Nick Winfrey, vice president of Planning and Develop-ment for Rancho Coastal Humane Society. “When RCHS opened in 1960, the only way to get to the shel-ter was by a dirt road. That dirt road became Interstate 5. With so much more access for the public, our programs for people and animals are more important than ever.”

Sam Beukema, Educa-tion and Events manager for the San Diego Botanic Gar-den, said.

“Feb. 21 will be only the third time in history

that dogs will be allowed to on our dirt. The 5K Paw Walk in the Garden has be-come the walk that every dog is begging to go on.”

Walkers can cover the full 5 kilometer / 3.1 mile course, but there are lots of options. It’s not competitive. You don’t need a dog.

Some participants speed through the entire

course, but many choose to enjoy the scenery and se-renity of the gardens.

There will be pet prod-ucts, food (for people), treats (for dogs), valuable information for dog lovers, a pet first aid station, and (of course) dogs. Walkers will have access to San Diego Botanic Garden until 2 p.m.

There aren’t a lot of

rules, but here are the most important ones:

• Dogs must be kept on leash at all times. No leash-es longer than 6 feet.

• No dogs in heat.• Clean up after your

dog. • No more than two

dogs per person. • Dogs must be up to

date on vaccinations.

Join the 5K Paw Walk in the Garden benefiting the Rancho Coastal Humane Society and San Diego Botanic Garden, starting at 9:30 a.m. Feb. 21 at 230 Quail Gardens Drive in Encinitas. Sign up at sdpets.org or sdbgarden.org. Courtesy photo


By Promise YeeOCEANSIDE — On Jan. 25 a car

rolled down the harbor launch ramp and slowly sunk into the murky wa-ters, all in preparation for two weeks of submerged vehicle dive training.

Oceanside Harbor Police led 13 public safety agencies through hands-on training between Jan. 26 and Feb. 6.

During the five-hour training ses-sions police, sheriffs, park rangers, Coast Guard crews and Department of Fish and Wildlife officers were taken through on-the-job simulations.

San Diego Lifeguards participat-ed in the Feb. 3 training session. Prac-tice included simulated body recovery and lifting the car out of the water.

The training is specific to the agency.

Law enforcement deals with re-covery when the vehicle in question is related to a crime. Their job is to get the vehicle out of the water and col-lect evidence.

Lifeguards take on rescue opera-tions and must determine how to deal with a car that goes into the water. This includes body recovery.

Part of the training covers dis-cussing scenarios and best practices.

San Diego Lifeguard Sgt. Ed Har-ris said the hands-on training is very beneficial.

San Diego gets an average of one to two calls on a submerged vehicle a year. Harris said the main focus is to make the rescue, keep officers safe and work to keep hazardous fluids from cars out of the waterways.

Oceanside also sees its share of submerged vehicles, and has called on its dive team for incidents that have

ranged from a driver forgetting to set the breaks on the launch ramp, to a murder weapon being thrown off the pier.

Oceanside Harbor Police Sgt. Jeff Brandt said there are only a few pub-lic safety dive teams in the county. The Oceanside dive team responds to calls in other cities as part of the mu-tual aid agreement.

Training helps agencies that will respond to an incident go through the steps together.

“It’s awesome to get everybody to

work together,” Brandt said. “I’m cy-cling my divers through it.”

The training sessions are set up to be environmentally friendly. A car was donated by TOWizard, with its hazardous fluids removed. Weights were added to simulate the weight of the car with fluids inside it.

The training is part of public safety agencies mutual aid agree-ment. In future years another agency will lead the training. Each agency absorbs costs for its own personnel time and travel.

By Promise YeeOCEANSIDE — The

Planning Commission gave the green light for the de-velopment of an emergency services heliport on fire de-partment grounds on Jan. 26.

REACH Air Medial Services will develop a heli-port, and lease 8,024 square feet of the 6.5-acre firefight-er-training site on Jones Road for eight years.

After the eight-year lease is up the city will own the helipad.

Randy Lyman, REACH Air director of service de-livery, said he anticipates the partnership between REACH Air and the city will continue far beyond eight years.

REACH Air currently operates out of Oceanside Municipal Airport, and has been working on the reloca-tion process to the fire de-partment site for a year.

The fire department works closely with REACH Air and oversees the heli-copter program. Off duty firefighters are already hired part time to serve REACH Air.

Lyman said he hopes the partnership will grow further through collabora-tive work efforts and train-ings. He added he sees that happening with a heliport on the fire department site.

Both REACH Air and the city see the partnership as a win.

The REACH Airbus

EC-135 turbine engine he-licopter services San Diego County and makes one to two emergency flights a day.

City staff says an emer-gency heliport is a plus for safety operations.

“It’s a very good com-modity for the fire station,” Scott Nightingale, city asso-ciate planner, said.

Lyman said developing the new heliport would take three to four months. He said a key part of the pro-cess is meeting state safe-ty regulations for take offs and landings.

“It’s more than just put-ting in a helipad, the whole surrounding area must be safe to ascent and descent into,” Lyman said.

Lyman said the Jones Road site is a prime spot for the heliport because of its close proximity to the airport, and location in a light industrial zone away from homes. Noise impacts to homes on area hillsides have proven to be within

residential noise thresh-olds.

Nightingale also gave the site points for being well suited for the heli-port. The land is fairly level and few modifications are needed to install the heli-pad. Site grading, laying asphalt, and installation of safety lights will put the he-lipad in place.

Air safety will be ad-dressed by adding ground lights to mark the helipad, and installing beacon lights to alert pilots to the top of the neighboring NCTD building. In addition, NCTD facility lights that interfere with flight visibility will be removed.

When operations are relocated, the helicopter will continue to get its jet fuel from the airport via a 400-gallon fuel truck that will stay parked on fire de-partment grounds.

REACH Air will also move a 1,870 square foot crew trailer to the site to house three bedrooms, two

bathrooms, a break room, kitchen, and flight plan room.

The air medical ser-vices company began oper-ations at Oceanside Munic-ipal Airport in July 2013, and made 300 emergency service flights to serve ma-jor trauma patients within its first year.

“We’ve been able to prove that asset has been very beneficial to the area and Oceanside specifical-ly,” Lyman said.

Flight operations at Jones Road are anticipated to begin in June.

City approves $25,000 for community arts projectsBy Promise Yee

OCEANSIDE — Oceanside is putting its money where its art is.

City Council approved $25,000 in capital im-provement funds on Jan. 21, for five arts projects selected by the city’s Arts Commission.

The Boys & Girls Club, Oceanside Cultural Arts Foundation and Oceans-ide Museum of Art will re-ceive $5,000 each.

Oceanside Theatre Company and Lux Art In-stitute will be awarded $3,500 each, and KOCT community television will receive $3,000 for arts projects that serve Oceanside.

The projects are var-ied and are expected to have significant impacts.

Funds will support youth field trips, cover film festival costs and pay for a radio theater series. Monies will also pay for monthly art walk maps and family art nights at Oceanside schools.

Arts commissioners asked City Council for funds in December. Once funds were approved, the commission sent out a call for projects and narrowed submissions down to six

funded projects. Selection was based

on the project fostering en-joyment of the arts, meet-ing a community need, making an impact, encour-aging engagement and re-lating to tourism, develop-ment or education.

Councilman Chuck Lowery said the arts are an asset to the city.

“It’s a barometer that we have a fully developed, mature community,” Low-ery said.

He added the awarded funds go a long way in add-ing to residents’ quality of life.

“Small grants like

produce the official auction guide and bookmarks that are available for the first time during the unveiling event.

Del Mar artist Julie Ann Stricklin, who has painted out-standing banners and been a part of the Arts Alive team for over a decade, shares enthu-siastically, “The banners are spectacular once again this year. When we were shooting

them for the catalog, a few of the banners took my breath away. It is always amazing that nearly 100 artists are given a blank banner and the banners are returned with such diverse and creative subjects.”

Silent bidding will begin at the unveiling event and con-tinue as the 99 original works of art are on display along the Coast Highway through the end of May. This year’s banner season will culminate with the banner auction in the Cardiff

Town Center courtyard June 7.

The public is invited to the 2015 Arts Alive Banner unveiling reception Feb. 14, from noon to 3 p.m. at the former Cabo Grill, located at 1950 N. Coast Highway 101, Leucadia.

After the official unveil-ing, the online auction guide can be viewed at artsaliveenci-nitas.com. Bids can be placed by phoning Leucadia 101 Main Street at (760) 436-2320.

BRUSH WITH ARTCONTINUED FROM A11

then you have the incredi-ble cost, the distraction and you have a lot of mainte-nance and malfunctioning, so we feel that the (bea-cons) are a good alterna-tive,” Bilse said.

The beacons aren’t ap-proved at the federal level but are approved in Califor-nia.

According to Bilse, California has a history of testing out new traffic prac-tices.

“Typically, what hap-pens is the federal will come in with a low bar and Californians will raise the bar and require a higher level and then that will be-come the level eventually on the federal point,” Bilse said.

Traffic Commissioner Mychal Dourson expressed his concern that the bea-cons don’t have timers, which could impact traffic during times when a lot of pedestrians are crossing, such as in the summer.

Bilse told him that the

beacons are meant more to alert drivers that pedes-trians are looking to cross and if the lack of timers be-comes a problem, city staff can look into implementing a timer.

It is not yet decided whether the signs will be solar powered or if they’ll tap into existing electricity sources.

Bilse said solar power is more expensive.

If city council approves the beacons, Bilse said, the city will likely begin in-stalling them by summer.

CROSSWALKSCONTINUED FROM A1

critic of eTown Hall, pre-sented a breakdown she produced of the statistics, which showed that in most neighborhoods, less than half of the input received were from residents or busi-ness owners in the neigh-borhoods.

In the one case where the in-neighborhood input was greater than outside of the community — New Encinitas — only 47 New Encinitas residents partic-ipated. New Encinitas has around 20,000 residents.

“This doesn’t repre-sent the level of input we expected from our citizen-ry,” Gaspar said. “I expect-ed to see the flip of this.

“I would be very un-comfortable selecting any of these sites based on this little community input,” she said.

Councilman Mark Muir echoed Gaspar’s con-cerns. He said he wished the city had engaged in a more scientific survey to get a more accurate pulse of the electorate’s opinion on the housing element map.

Gaspar and Muir’s council colleagues, Tony Kranz, Lisa Shaffer and Deputy Mayor Catherine Blakespear, however, said they believed the eTown Hall efforts yielded import-ant information and feed-back from residents that would be valuable in help-ing them craft a housing map that best reflects the desires of residents.

Shaffer expressed con-cern that a rift between the council this early in the housing element process would damage the city’s chances of passing the housing element in 2016.

“It would be unfortu-nate if we allowed this dis-cussion to become a discus-sion on the merits of eTown Hall and Peak Democracy,” Shaffer said. “It was not meant to be a referendum or a voting tool but it was a process to give people the opportunity to engage.

“The fact that the may-or was able to do the type of analysis that she has done is a big step forward,” Shaffer said, alluding to the city’s failed General Plan update from earlier this decade.

Tony Kranz said that eTown Hall was meant to be a tool the help guide pol-icy makers in their decision making, not make the deci-sion for them.

“Do I wish there was more participation? Yes I do,” Kranz said. “But we live in a representative de-mocracy and I think resi-dents are expecting us to do much of the heavy lifting.”

The trio of council

members pressed Gaspar and Muir for any alterna-tive that would mollify their concerns about the process. Gaspar and Muir both said they could not come up with an answer Tuesday night, but that they were confident a solu-tion would present itself in time enough to implement it before the city’s April deadline, at which time the draft housing element would be handed over to environmental consultants.

More than two-doz-en residents spoke at the five-hour long session, which was a joint meeting between the city and the Planning Commission.

As expected, residents were polarized over the pre-liminary results of the map-ping efforts. Some praised the city for its efforts, and said they believed it was a positive step forward to-ward creating a map that balances the future hous-

ing needs with the citizen-ry’s desire to preserve the city’s suburban feel.

Several residents, how-ever, questioned both the map results and the need to comply with the housing element in its entirety. One of the biggest complaints was that the zoning desig-nation of 30 units per acre, which the city said was nec-essary to satisfy state den-sity requirements, would allow developers to build closer to 40 units per acre with density bonus consid-erations.

Others questioned the regional housing needs as-sessment number of 1,300 that the city has said is the target it must meet in order to satisfy state and regional mandates.

“This could forever change the face of quality of life in Encinitas,” said Denise Martin, a resident who posed 20 questions to the city, challenging many of the assertions the city has made about the need for the housing element. Martin asked the city to cite case law or precedent of a city being sued for not having a housing ele-ment or losing control of its planning authority, which the city has cited as a con-sequence of failure to ap-prove an update.

Several of the plan-ning commissioners — and council members — said they didn’t agree with the assertion that the housing element would drastically alter the community’s char-acter.

“We’ve heard some strong rhetoric tonight, such as this effort would ‘change the face of the city’ or it is ‘the planned destruc-tion of Encinitas,’” com-missioner JoAnn Shannon said. “I strongly disagree, that what we are proposing tonight will irreparably de-stroy Encinitas.”

The groups will meet Thursday night to come to a consensus on the final housing map that will be analyzed by the environ-mental consultants for the housing element.

RESULTSCONTINUED FROM A1

This could forever change the face of quality of life in Encinitas.”

Denise Martin Encinitas Resident

in a small community like Del Mar, with about 4,200 residents including chil-dren, “is remarkably high.”

At the start of the Feb. 2 meeting, when the re-sults were presented, a few residents said they were “appalled” and it was “to-tally disgusting” and “in-appropriate” that political

affiliation was included in the results, although it did not identify the party with actual person who took the survey.

The question was not asked as part of the survey and was included in the results because it was pro-vided by the registrar of voters.

Council members who hadn’t yet seen it said they would not look at it and

asked that it be removed from the results posted on-line.

Council members and staff said they would ana-lyze the results, which can be viewed on the city web-site, to determine who to improve city services.

City Manager Scott Huth said department heads are already looking at comments specific to their departments.

SATISFIEDCONTINUED FROM A7

move-in day will be April 28, 2017.

Although council members approved the plans, they have concerns.

“When I look at this schedule the first thing that comes to mind is, ‘Who’s going to do what?’” Councilman Terry Sinnott said. “I don’t see (Planning Director) Kathy (Garcia) doing this. It’s too much.

“I don’t see (City Man-

ager) Scott (Huth) doing this. It’s too much,” he add-ed. “I’m just worried that you’ve got a city to run…. I’m starting to worry about how we’re going to imple-ment this.”

Huth said at some point the city will have to hire a project manager.

“I feel very good about telling you we could use a project manager staff today because of all the workload that’s sitting on all our desks,” he said. “I would not turn down a

project manager today.”Councilman Dwight

Worden said the sched-ule is aggressive and he wouldn’t be “all that shocked if that slips.”

“I’ve managed many public projects,” Garcia said. “The schedule is ag-gressive but it’s doable. I’d be concerned if we tried to shorten it right now because of the var-ious unseen issues. … I believe that we could do it but it requires effort on everyone’s part.”

these are enough to fund programs and events,” Lowery said. “Lots of kids don’t have the money to view professional artwork, and might be inspired to pick up a paintbrush or be otherwise engaged with our community.”

Funds will help sup-port current programs and pay for new arts expe-riences.

The Oceanside The-atre Company will pro-duce a first-time radio theater series featuring vintage scripts, actors and a visible foley artist.

“I viewed a live radio theater program,” Lowery said. “It was so unusual, a real throwback to a more interesting time in our history. (A) Very creative

use of dialogue, sound, music. I was impressed.”

Another new program is the Lux Art Institute’s family art nights that in-vite students and their families to create art at five elementary schools.

Family art nights are an extension of Lux’s Va-lise Project, which show-cases seven different sub-jects and media through artists’ work packed up in seven suitcases.

In the classroom one valise, which looks a bit like diorama when opened, is explored and inspires artwork each ses-sion.

For the family art nights all seven valises will spark creativity.

Families can stay at one art station, or create all seven take-home proj-ects during the two-hour

session.Lissa Corona, Lux

education director, said it’s wonderful to watch students and parents cre-ate art together. A family art night was held at Del Rio Elementary last year and sparked the idea for a project that would reach more families.

“I saw a student show their grandmother how to make a print — that’s why it’s important, to share a moment with one anoth-er,” Corona said.

Corona said she ap-preciates the city’s sup-port for the arts.

“I see daily what im-pact art has on individu-als,” Corona said.

Corona added com-munity art helps people bond, and makes them feel proud of where they live.

gives the song a tasteful jolt of energy as a frisky beat and a little electric guitar. “Another Is Waiting” is a similar case, as the group muscles up things with an assertive beat, full instru-mentation and vocal har-monies. “Vanity,” starts out on an elegant note be-fore exploding into an epic rocker. Even songs that re-main stripped back, such as “Never Been Alive” and Bring Your Love To Me,” get supplemented with drums and other judicious-ly applied instrumenta-

tion.The songs on “Mag-

pie” actually come from the same recording ses-sion that produced “The Carpenter.” The group had amassed a backlog of songs by then and recorded some 30 songs during the ses-sion.

“We had a bunch of songs that were moving toward being considered for recording. We just said ‘Why don’t we just record them all?’“ Crawford said.

But once the songs for “The Carpenter” were se-lected, the group left the studio with no set plans for the remaining songs. It

wasn’t until summer 2013 that, at Rubin’s suggestion, the group started enter-taining the notion that its next album was essentially already recorded.

“I think it was real-ly Rick’s idea,” Crawford said.

“Rick began to se-quence them and Rick said ‘We’ve got an album here. We’ve got something that’s fresh here and kind of stands on its own.”

The partnership with Rubin that began on “I and Love and You” represented a major change in the work-ing process for Scott and Seth Avett and Crawford.

The group’s earlier albums had been self-produced, so bringing a producer was a major step and a learning process. But Crawford said the partnership got easier during the sessions that produced “The Carpenter” and “Magpie.”

“There was a lot of growing between ‘I and

Love and You’ and ‘The Carpenter.’“ Crawford said. “We got just a little savvier in the studio in understanding the bound-lessness of the studio and understanding the work and not being as uncom-fortable. I think in the be-ginning, the first week of ‘I and Love and You’ record-

ing, each of us felt self con-scious and uncomfortable in some way.

“When we first got with Rick, we learned so much more about playing in time and playing with a kick drum and just these basic lessons about music that we had never taken time to learn.”

workshops where I traveled and worked with mentors.

Tell us little bit about the difference between work-ing with photographs and working outdoors.

Photographs do three things. They squish—for in-stance, the mountains look flat. Secondly, the sides look eyeballed, and lastly, the darks go darker and the lights go lighter, so with a plein air painting you can really get the feeling of re-ality.

What are your favorite sub-jects to paint?

I’m an ocean lover. Ab-solutely, an ocean lover. The more I paint the more I love to paint, and actually I can do it anywhere, but I love to be by the sea with the waves crashing when I’m not cold painting the ocean. Although I have done many paintings at Torrey Pines, it is not my favorite.

It’s an interesting place to paint, but it has tons of trees and bushes that are all the same value [light and dark]. It’s a little too subtle. So to do a decent painting of Torrey Pines you have to

skip your coffee and get in the car to get there super early so there are shadows on those flat values in order to get some contrast in your painting.

A painting is not a pho-tograph, so it needs to have design and contrast. I like high contrast—it gives more emotion, and I like to push my colors.

How has your style changed over the years?

I am more skilled, just like learning the violin. You are going to be better ten years later after prac-ticing. You flow better. You don’t have to take as much time between color mix. You have a vernacular and you are able to speak with it because you have better skills.

I know you have been in-vited to prestigious compe-titions, the latest being the Telluride Invitational. Can you tell us a little about the competition side of paint-ing?

Art and competing seem like an oxymoron. It was interesting to learn early on that competitions are a huge part of getting noticed as an artist.

You get a tough skin

and learn to deal with re-jections. There are many competitions online and it has grown because there is money in that—more for the organization than the artist. It is difficult to make money because art is a com-plete luxury, and it is the last thing people will buy. Fortunately, there is public art for those who don’t have money. In terms of owning art, you have to capture the attention of the client for something they never knew they needed or wanted.

There are also Plein Air Invitationals that I’ve done the last few years in San Clemente, San Luis Obis-po, Borrego Springs and Telluride where we have an opportunity to do several paintings of the area....

People do make a liv-ing but it is rare. Usually these are artists who go to street fairs and maximize their opportunities to sell their art. Personally I feel when you are that interest-ed in making sales—and I completely understand you need to make a living — you are banging out paintings and not growing. My goal is to grow as a painter—the opportunities are endless.

FEB. 6, 2015 BSECTION

Well, fine. I c e r t a i n l y can’t com-

plain about blizzards and hours of shoveling out the car, but I have my own West Coast whine.

Once we got that bad-ly needed rain, my yard is getting way to full of itself.

The yard has gone spring green, it’s true, but the majority of that foliage is weeds. They re-quire that I remove them, on my hands and knees, while getting the back of my neck sunburned. I realize yard work is to be expected by mid to late January in SoCal, but I find I’m really not ready to give up my book by the fire yet.

Thanks to the rain, my habitual neglect has been overruled and all my plants are overflow-ing their charming, care-fully selected pots. I reg-ularly glare at them, but it hasn’t seemed to slow them down.

Yeah, yeah, I know that doesn’t sound right to most of you, but, in truth, I am always rath-er pleased when plants just stay about the size at which I purchased them.

For instance, I plant-ed these cute, 18-inch po-nytail palms a few years ago in my front yard (Yes, it does seem like it was just last week).

They were to replace the far-too-high-main-tenance rose bushes I killed. I stepped back yesterday and noticed the palms are now near-ly 5 feet. I’m told they are slow growing, but I got a little queasy when I learned they might reach 20 feet. What? Check be-fore I plant? Tsk.

So it’s come to that annoying crossroad — find another dozen charming and somewhat larger pots, multiple bags of potting soil and appropriate fertilizers, schlep them home and get busy… or I can have a garden that looks like it was hit by a Marine bar-ber.

I seem to lack a week off, a quaint potting shed like Martha Stewart or even a fetching potting apron or sun hat. Get my weed whacker.

No whining; just weeds

Public gives input on interchange projectBy Ellen Wright

REGION— Caltrans held a work-shop Jan. 29 at the Carlsbad Senior Center to get public feedback on im-provements to the interchange at In-terstate 5 and state Route 78.

Caltrans is working with the re-gional public transportation associ-ation San Diego Association of Gov-ernments, or SANDAG, to overhaul coastal transportation and asked for public input on the I-5/ SR-78 inter-change.

The workshop is part of a re-gion-wide long-range plan, which fo-cuses on improving rail, transit and pedestrian infrastructure throughout San Diego.

Allan Kosup, corridor director of SR-76 and the I-5 at Caltrans, said the workshop was held to hear the pub-lic’s thoughts and no decisions have been made yet on the interchange up-date.

“We’re hearing from the commu-nity that the way it is now is a prob-lem,” Kosup said.

He said the interchange is outdat-ed and the update comes from a sense of urgency and because funds became available.

“We haven’t done much substan-tially to this neighborhood at this in-terchange since the ‘50s so it shouldn’t be surprising the interchange isn’t working really well,” Kosup said.

The traffic signal on the south-bound I-5 ramp at Vista Way causes significant backup.

Residents on and around Vista Way also expressed concerns over safety.

A 29-year-old woman was killed in December after a driver ran the stop light on the southbound Vista Way off-ramp and rear-ended her Kia.

Vista Way resident Sharon New-bery said residents’ pleas for a cul-de-sac on Vista Way have fallen on deaf ears.

She and her neighbors have been asking Oceanside City Council for a change to the off-ramp for years and

Solana Beach OKs a fourth entry sign into the cityBy Bianca Kaplanek

SOLANA BEACH — People coming into Solana Beach from the east will soon be doing so via the “Gateway to Sunshine,” an entry sign and monu-ment for the median at Lomas Santa Fe and High-land drives unanimously approved by council at the Jan. 28 meeting.

The city currently has entry signs on the north and south ends of Coast Highway 101and on Valley Avenue just north of Via de la Valle.

A 2013 traffic-calming project at the intersection of Lomas Santa Fe and Highland that created a large median on Lomas San-ta Fe was done so with the understanding that a new entry monument would be included.

The city released a re-quest for proposals in De-cember 2013 and received 10 responses.

Five finalists were se-lected to create more de-tailed models of their pro-

posals.The Public Arts Com-

mission reviewed the en-tries but could not reach a consensus. Members then

decided to look at existing sculptures created by well-known artists.

They tentatively set-tled on a piece titled “Sun

Platter” that was later deemed inappropriate for the city.

PAC members Mike Swanson and Brett Reis-

dorf volunteered to design a sign and monument based on feedback from residents

14 named to five commissions

By Bianca KaplanekSOLANA BEACH —

With 18 residents apply-ing to fill 17 vacancies — and nearly two-thirds of them seeking reappoint-ment to their respective positions — council mem-bers had a somewhat easy task naming members to the city’s five citizen commissions.

But the annual pro-cess wasn’t completed as scheduled during the Jan. 28 meeting. There were only three appli-cants for four open seats on the Parks and Recre-ation Commission, so the city will readvertise for that position.

And on Public Safe-ty, only two of the four vacancies were filled, giving that commission a quorum to hold meetings until a staff review deter-mines if the group should be disbanded.

Four people volun-teered to fill three avail-able seats on Budget and Finance. Ed Murphy, Michael Whitton and Gordon Johns were reap-pointed. Michael Pfeiffer was not selected and did not apply to serve on any other commission.

Residents get first look at restroom plansBy Promise Yee

OCEANSIDE — Res-idents got a first look at conceptual design plans for the new pier restrooms at a community meeting on Jan. 28.

Ricardo Rabines, de-sign principal of Safdie Rabines Architects, shared plans to add two new build-ings, renovate the historic bathhouse, upgrade the im-mediate plaza area and im-prove pedestrian beach ac-cess from Mission Avenue.

Multiple uses will be packed into the site.

The end result will be a more functional space that embraces Oceanside’s historical character and fu-ture growth.

Nathan Mertz, city project manager, said the project would set the tone for a new look along The Strand.

“It will set the bar for waterfront area improve-ments for the future, and be a successful example of what can be done to facil-itate amenities, residents and visitors,” Mertz said.

A new building will be constructed in front of the bathhouse to hold 14 uni-sex, single-stall restrooms. Restroom stalls will be lo-cated on both sides of the building with showers and outside sinks in the middle.

Rabines described the restroom building design as open, breezy, happy and transparent.

Residents at the Jan.

28 workshop questioned the prominent beachfront loca-tion of the restrooms.

Mertz said it is critical to have the restrooms in a visible, safe location.

A second new building will be two stories tall and face north into the plaza. It will house beach retail and city maintenance facil-ities on the first floor, and lifeguard facilities on the second floor. There are also plans for a public viewing deck on the second floor with elevator access.

Retail uses are expect-ed to include food sales and recreation equipment rent-

als.Rabines said the his-

toric bathhouse would be restored to its original look. The exterior will be freshened up to recapture the building’s unique char-acter. The interior will be modified to accommodate a police substation.

The plaza immedi-ately in front of the bath-house will be upgraded to include fresh landscaping and benches, and serve as a gathering area.

Improvements do not include renovations to the pier amphitheater or bleachers.

Changes will also be made to the Mission Avenue stairway access. Proposed plans include stairs, land-ings and ramps to accom-modate families bringing strollers, coolers and body boards down to the beach.

Limiting vehicle traffic on the The Strand to emer-gency vehicles is also under consideration.

Susan Richards, proj-ect manager for Safdie Rabines Architects, said design plans look ahead

and provide functionality that includes the impact of planned hotels.

Mertz and Richards stressed that shared plans are changeable, and com-munity input during con-ceptual design develop-ment is critical to coming up with the best possible project.

“Everything is under consideration right now,” Mertz said.

Project construction is expected to break ground in two years.

Concepts plans are anticipated to go to City Council for approval this June. Then entitlements reviews and environmental approvals will be secured, followed by a call for con-struction bids in January 2017.

Groundbreaking is slat-ed for fall 2017. Building costs have not been deter-mined.

Updates on the project will be posted on the city website. Project workshops will be listed on the city’s community calendar, which is also on the website at ci.oceanside.ca.us.

Good Ol’ BoyA miles-long traffic

jam on Interstate 20 near Tuscaloosa, Alabama, on Jan. 25 and on into the next morning was caused by an 18-wheeler that jackknifed and over-turned when the 57-year-old driver took his hands off the wheel to pull out a tooth with his fingers. Efforts to haul the truck from the roadside re-quired an hours-long de-tour of traffic off of the interstate. (The driver’s mission was successful; he had the tooth in his pocket when rescued.)

Unclear on the ConceptLuis Moreno Jr., 26,

was pursued by police in Fort Lee, New Jersey, after he entered the car-pool lane approaching the George Washington Bridge in January because he appeared to be alone in his SUV. After ignor-ing several signals to pull over, he finally stopped and, when informed of his offense, told the officer, “I have two passengers in the back” and rolled down a window to show them (in the vehicle’s third row), apparently satisfying the officer. However, as Moreno pulled away, one passenger began scream-ing and banging on the back door. Moreno sped off with his hostages, but was subsequently stopped again and charged with kidnapping and criminal restraint (but no HOV vi-olation!).

Mike Montemayor, until recently a county commissioner in Laredo, Texas, pleaded guilty to bribery charges in June and had argued in Janu-ary 2015 that he should get a light sentence because, after all, he had subse-quently helped FBI agents in a sting against three other officials accused of bribery. However, the prosecutor immediately countered that Montemay-or had in fact tried to steal the recording devices and Apple computer the FBI had furnished him to do the undercover work. (He got six years in prison and a $109,000 fine.)

What Researchers Do“Entomologists are

not like other people,” Wired.com reported in January, revealing that two of them had “proudly” issued “birth” announce-ments for the “Human bot fly” whose larvae one had let gestate beneath his skin for two months. Scientist Piotr Naskrec-ki and photographer Gil Wizen had been inadver-tently bitten while on as-signment in Belize and decided the egg-laying “attack” on a human was an important opportunity for research.

After all, Naskrecki said, he had never seen an adult bot fly “crawl out” of its host.

Efficient water meters installed in 29,000 Carlsbad homesBy Ellen Wright

CARLSBAD — The Carlsbad Municipal Water District has just increased its efficiency by replacing customers’ water meters.

The newly installed au-tomated meters allow staff to read the meters from a distance, which cuts down on reading time.

Instead of having to go door-to-door, officials can read the meters by driving around the city and collect-ing the data from each me-ter using wireless technol-ogy, according to the city’s

Community Relations man-ager Kristina Ray.

The district has more than 29,000 meters to read and it took 329 staff hours to read them all. The new me-ters cut down reading time by 83 percent to 55 hours.

The meter signals have a range of a half-mile, which is why staffers can do a driv-ing route, instead of the tra-ditional door-to-door meth-od.

The installation also cost less than what was orig-inally estimated.

“When we started this

project in 2008, it was ex-pected to take 15 years and cost $15 million to replace

every meter,” said Mario Remillard, the project’s manager. “In 2012, new technology became avail-able that allowed us to cut nine years from the project and reduce the cost by $9.6 million, so we’ve finished the project much more quickly and saved money doing it.”

Ray said the final cost was $6 million.

The meters also track water usage. This allows staff to tell customers what time of day their water us-age spikes.

“One advantage of this new system is if a customer calls with questions about increased water usage, we can call up the data and help solve the problem right then and there,” Remillard

said. “We can tell them how much water they’re using day to day, and sometimes hour to hour. And we can visit them at their house and show them their usage history over a laptop.”

The new meters give district staff a better pic-ture of regional water usage and allow staff to compare wholesale purchases with total consumption by cus-tomers, said Ray.

In doing to, staff can track down leaks and repair them.

Carlsbad Municipal Water District staff originally planned to install new meters until 2023 but new advancements shaved nine years off the project. Courtesy photo

Charlie O’Neil, our At-tack Director of the Recre-ational program, will head up the Futsal program. Coach Charlie has been with Attack for 10 years as a professional coach and has been the Recreational Director for 6 years.

Futsal is an exciting, fast paced soccer game that was developed in Brazil in the 1930s. It is played on a gymnasium hard-wood floor and is basically a scaled down version of outdoor soccer – played indoors. The game is played without walls and the lines of the basketball court are used as the boundaries.

The sport is a great skill developer as it demands quick reflexes, fast think-ing, and pin-point passing. Many of the great soccer su-

perstars such as Pele, Ron-aldo, Messi, and Kaka grew up playing futsal and credit the game with developing their skills.

The Futsal in the Ranch program will be available for both Recreational and Competitive players and there will be three one hour sessions offered each Sun-day. Session 1 will be for 4-6 year olds and will start

at 11:30 AM. Session 2 will be offered for 7-9 year olds and will start at 12:45 PM. Session 3 will start at 2:00 PM and will be for 10-12 year olds. The Registration Fee for the program is $150 and includes a t-shirt for each participant.

Enroll your child so they can come join in the fun and work on develop-ing their soccer skills. Each session will start out with 15 minutes of warm-up and skills work, and then the re-maining time will be spent playing in a game situation. The teams will be set up so that all players will get lots of touches on the ball while developing better foot skills and more movement with-out the ball. It is a game of constant excitement and lots of scoring!

Horizon Prep is breaking the moldHorizon Prep is chal-

lenging the current di-rection of convention-al education, offering a Christ-centered Classical Education in the heart of Rancho Santa Fe. From the moment you set foot on campus, you feel the differ-ence: laughter echoing in the hallways, and engaged students abounding with a genuine joy of learn-ing. Not restricted by the Common Core Curriculum Standards Initiative, Hori-zon Prep exceeds Common Core standards: Consider-ing state and national edu-cational standards to be a minimum bar, then going a step beyond by providing a Classical education and incorporating other higher standards as comparisons, exceeding expectations by a grade level or more.

“The beauty of being a private Christ-centered, Classical school,” says Hori-zon Prep Assistant Head of Schools, Brent Hodges, “is that Horizon Prep is already light years beyond common standards and we are able to focus on the outcomes of developing the Master Stu-dent.”

Horizon Prep’s Clas-sical Education model has flourished in West-ern culture for centuries and embraces the study of literature, language, sci-ence, mathematics, phi-losophy, history and the arts. “Grammar, Logic,

and Rhetoric phases form the foundation of this con-sistent pedagogy and shape our teaching at every grade level,” says Hodges, “our low student-to-teacher ratio creates the optimum envi-ronment in which to pro-vide the individual atten-tion each child needs and deserves.”

Following years of suc-cess in its Early Education (Preschool through Kinder-garten), School of Grammar (1st-5th), and School of Log-ic (6th-8th), Horizon Prep is primed to enter its third year in the School of Rheto-ric (9th-12th).

With a focus on devel-oping wisdom and creating life-long learners, the class-room looks a bit different in the School of Rhetoric. One way of achieving outcomes is through engagement around the Harkness Table. Instead of always seeing the teacher at the head of the class, you will find teach-er and students together around the Harkness Table, actively engaged in learn-

ing and student-centered discussions. “In essence, the students need to learn how to learn. The content of the curriculum is what students use as the clay to form knowledge, but the emphasis is on the learning and equipping students to understand their thinking process,” says Hodges, “so that in any aspect of school or life, they have the ability to think critically and take it to the next level.”

Students also partic-ipate in a wide variety of arts, athletics, service, and enrichment opportunities at every grade level. Ex-periential learning in the form of electives, class trips and other school-sponsored activities build on the solid academic foundation and encourage well-rounded, engaged students who are willing and able to try new things.

At Horizon Prep, Christ is truly the core of educa-tion. Weave that together with Classical Academic Excellence, and Horizon Prep truly is breaking the mold in education.

Visit Horizon Prep and see the difference for your-self! Attend an Open House – 6:30 pm on Tuesday, Feb-ruary 10th or 9:00 am on Tuesday, March 3rd or Tues-day, April 14th. You can also contact the Admissions office to schedule a private tour today! www.horizon-prep.org

In essence, the students need to learn how to learn. ”

The Social Security Act of 1935 ensured that hard working Americans would have income to support them during retirement. Over time, Social Security may have reduced worries about retirement to the point that many people don’t give their Social Security a second thought.

With a little planning, you can receive more in Social Security benefits than expected as well as lean how to leverage other sources of income for retirement. Social Security is not straight forward for most people. In fact, there are strategies you can employ to maximize the benefits you are eligible to receive – particularly among married, divorced and widowed individuals.

Please join us for a Private Social Security Workshop at

the Crossings Golf Course, where you will be provided with critical information to help you maximize your Social Security benefits.

Concerts set to fund vet’s gardenOCEANSIDE — The

Veteran’s Association of North County (VANC) host-ed a “Veterans Honor Gar-den Swings” concert, the first of a series of month-ly concert fundraisers aimed at raising $250,000 to construct the Veter-ans Honor Garden on the grounds of the new Oceans-ide Vet’s Center.

The evening was head-lined by singer Stefani Ste-vens with her jazz, Motown, swing and Latin rhythms. She was joined by blues mu-sician Dante FireFeb. 5 at the Veterans Resource Center, 1617 Mission Ave., Oceanside.

The Veteran Honor Gar-den is being built to beauti-fy the surrounding grounds of the recently completed VANC Veteran’s Resource Center, made possible by donations from the public and the city of Oceanside. The area is intended to be a peaceful sanctuary for vet-erans, staff and the commu-nity. All proceeds will go to building the garden.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE


Food&Wine

It’s still a thrill for me to discover the gourmet side of food that I’ve

never really given much thought, but have always had around the house and used on a regular basis. Honey falls into that cat-egory and until I recently got wind of craft-honey producer Mikolich Family Honey and their Good Food Award as one of the best makers of honey. They are part of America’s growing movement of talented and socially conscious food entrepreneurs. Yes, craft honey is here and we have a family in the area that is garnering big-time recogni-tion. I had an opportunity to sample their honey and the award is well deserved, it’s very tasty. Besides that, there are more benefits to locally produced craft hon-ey that I never knew about and I caught up with own-er Alan Mikolich to learn more.

You started keeping bees in your backyard over 40 years ago. That’s not a typ-ical hobby for a teenager, what were your early influ-ences to make honey?

I caught a swarm in the yard when I was about 10 years old. We had a friend of the family who was a commercial beekeep-er that I was inspired from and really got intrigued by the bees.

Did you study Entomolo-gy or Apiology at college or has this all been self-taught?

Everything has been self-taught. I just wanted to work with the bees.

When did you realize this was something you could make a living at?

I went to work full-time straight out of high school as a “beekeeper.” For the next for 12 years, I worked under different commercial beekeepers in San Diego County. I start-ed to gradually expand my own hives. The man I was working with at the time offered me a partnership, but his offer wasn’t very substantial so I just decid-ed to start my own honey business with the help of my wife.

You produce 100 percent raw honey. How is that dif-ferent from other types of honey?

Our honey is extracted fresh from the hive with-out excessive heating, fine filtering or removing the pollen. It is loaded with vi-tamins, minerals and anti-oxidants. Most commercial honey companies flash heat and ultra-filter their hon-ey, depleting these proper-

ties that are beneficial for you. They also and blend their honey from different batches of honey from all over the world to make a consistent product in flavor and color. We bottle each location separately, so you can see and taste the dif-ference types of flowers the bees were pollinating with.

It’s known for natural heal-ing properties, can you elaborate on that?

Raw honey is known for a multitude of healing properties. Most people like to eat local honey for its pollen, which aids with seasonal allergies. In ad-dition to the pollen, honey contains a range of antiox-idants, vitamins, minerals, enzymes and amino acids that the bees add to the nectar from their body. It is antibacterial; antifungal and helps to soothe sore throats and reduce inflam-mation. It is used to heal

burn victims, treat wounds and stomach ulcers.

Your Coastal Wildflower Honey recently won a 2015 Good Food Award. Tell me about that honey and what makes it different?

This honey has an ex-tremely unique flavor that stands out amongst other varietals. It was made from a variety of coastal wild-flowers in addition to the surrounding eucalyptus and avocado trees. This unusual combination of flo-ral sources created a deep, rich and robust flavor.

You harvest honey at sever-al locations around San Di-ego County. Does location have anything to do with the quality or the taste of honey?

Our locations are cru-cial to making quality hon-ey. We rely heavily on the

It’s time for the oc-casional grab bag of goodies to help gadabouts stay on

top of what’s new in the world of travel.

The finesT for ‘15

Lonely Planet has se-lected the One World Ob-servatory, atop the new 104-story-high One World Trade Center in New York City, as the world’s “hottest new opening for 2015.”

According to the web-site, the observatory opens “Spring 2015.” (I hope to provide a firsthand account of the One World Observato-ry experience in October.)

You’ll find the publish-er’s list of must-sees in their new free ebook “New in Travel.”

The list includes out-door adventures, museums, breweries, wildlife-watch-ing encounters and more — 26 destinations in all. Another U.S. attraction: the boyhood home of John-ny Cash in Dyess, Arkan-sas, about 50 miles north of Memphis.

And should you be in South Africa: the nearby Cape Canopy Tour (zipline) near Cape Town. To down-load the ebook, visit lone-lyplanet.com/new-in-trav-el-2015.

Travel cheaply; Travel well

The days of seeing Eu-rope on $10 a day are long gone, but if you’re willing to think out of the box and travel like a local, says sea-soned traveler and celeb blogger Matt Kepnes (aka Nomadic Matt), extended travel on a budget is pos-sible. “Experience … has shown me that travel can be done cheaply without sac-rificing comfort,” says the native Bostonian who now lives in New York City when he’s not on the road.

That’s why Kepnes wrote “How to Travel the World on $50 a day: Travel Cheaper, Longer, Smarter” (Perigee/Penguin Random House). It offers hundreds of tips and specific infor-mation about discounts on hostels, tours and trans-

portation; helpful websites and electronic tools; tips on avoiding bank fees; the mysteries of airline-ticket pricing; choosing the right backpack — even how to save for that dream trip.

“I think travel makes everybody a more awesome person,” Kepnes says. “We end our travels way better off than when we started.” Visit nomadicmatt.com.

Map app for The wilder-ness and hisToric siTes

Those GPS apps on our smartphones are won-derful, but when it comes to finding where you are on the trail, they aren’t helpful. They not only lack detail, but if you are out of cell-tower range, you’re also out of luck.

Enter the free Aven-za PDF Maps app, which makes it possible to down-load maps of park grounds and wilderness areas via satellite. Some of the maps are free; most others are in the $2-$5 range. You pay no more than you would for the paper versions.

Avenza is a Toron-to-based company that works with map companies to provide a way for travel-ers and hikers to purchase digital maps. According to spokeswoman Christine Simmons, users also can download historical maps like Civil War battlefields and track themselves in-teractively. Like a GPS, Avenza tracks your path and marks your position on the historical map so you’ll know when you’re standing

on or hiking through his-toric locations and exact spots. Users can also take photos along the way and post them to the maps. Go to the App Store and type in “Avenza.”

Carlsbad retail center to be revamped with apartmentsBy Rachel Stine

CARLSBAD — With it’s primary storefront empty for five years, the 33-year-old La Costa Towne Center at the corner of El Camino Real and La Costa Avenue is at last getting a revamp.

The owner of the property gained approval to de-molish two commercial structures in the shopping cen-ter and replace them with buildings that are half retail and half apartments from Carlsbad’s Planning Commis-sion on April 16.

rain and natural vegeta-tion to keep our bees happy. These locations are the rea-son we harvest some of the rarest and most sought after honey in the market. San Diego has some very unique wildflowers like Black Button Sage and Wild Buckwheat, because of our Mediterranean climate. Locations like these are shrinking due to urbanization and commercial development.

What are your top five uses of honey?

I eat it on toast, for aller-gies, as a key ingredient for cooking and baking, to treat wounds and burns, and I like to take a spoonful before bed to help me sleep better and restore my glycogen stores.

Where can people find your honey in North County?

You can find our honey at Daily Harvest Market in Encinitas, and Knorr Candle Factory in Del Mar. Beam-ing, Sea & Smoke, Solace & the Moonlight Lounge and

Latitude 33 Brewery also use our honey in a variety of drinks, dishes and craft beer!

LICK THE PLATECONTINUED FROM B10

Temecula. One recent Saturday,

some close wine-loving friends of mine treated me to a day in the vines, the tasting rooms and the pa-latial wine and dine hide-aways of exclusive wine club member suites. The day’s locations were kept a secret. “Franco, (most of my close friends call me Franco), be ready outside your front door at 9:30 a.m. when we pick you up and strap you in the back seat, no questions asked,” they commanded. If this was a kidnapping, it should hap-pen to me more often. The day was divided into three segments: a tour and tast-ing through the vines, a picnic and wine tasting on a newly finished patio of a tasting room and a sit down banquet wine tasting in a palatial, exclusive wine club setting. This was as good as it gets, anywhere!

World of Wine, the event March 7 and March 8, will give you the look and feel of the trip with my close friends. A majority of wines tasted at the winer-ies you select at your own pace, will be old world va-rietals. These are Europe-an-style grapes with a Te-mecula-style new world twist. It’s a barrel tasting with the latest vintages from each winery both days, from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. The wines from each location will be paired with finely crafted cuisine from experienced gourmet chefs. Be sure to view the newest winery still being built, Fazeli Winery, com-ing soon on the De Portola Trail.

Another singular fea-ture of wine events in Te-mecula that you are sure

to enjoy is the one-on-one conversations with the winemakers and owners of the wineries. Somehow the wines taste a little bit bet-ter when you get the story from the source.

Cost for both days, and a best buy, is $99 per per-son. Other price offers are available. Pre-sale tickets are on line at temeculaw-ines.org.

Another wine and dine peak experience in Temec-ula Wine Country is a Val-entine’s Day dinner at one of the 10 winery restau-rants in the district.

Some restaurants to consider include: Euro-pa Village — “Romance, Romance” Feb. 13 at 6:30 p.m. A special Valentine’s dinner with a comedy mu-sical set in old world Vi-enna; five-course dinner, with each course paired with Europa Village wines. Tickets are $89; VIP tick-ets available. See more at, store.europavillage.com.

Monte De Oro — Val-entine’s Dinner 2015 Feb. 14, each of the four courses paired with award winning wines. Prix-fixe meal. Live music and dancing. $145 per couple; special VIP tickets. (951) 491-6551 ext. 115.

Pinnacle Restaurant Falkner Winery — A four-course

Valentine’s Din-ner Feb. 14, 5:30 to 9:30 p.m. Wine pairings for each course of choice of fi-let mignon or Chilean sea bass. $89. Enjoy the hill-top ambiance views. Call for RSVP at (951) 676-8231 ext. 1.

TASTE OF WINECONTINUED FROM B10

and city staff.Their efforts resulted

in the creation of “Gateway to Sunshine,” which depicts a long serpentine, corten steel “S” shape with cut-outs of an abstract sunset on the high end and the words “Solana Beach” on the low front end facing east.

Solar lights will illumi-nate the city name at night. Drought-tolerant landscap-ing will be added.

During the 50-day pub-lic review period that end-ed Dec. 3, the city received about 30 comments.

As with all public art, “Gateway to Sunshine” elicited a variety of opin-ions and emotions.

Close to two-thirds of the people who respond-ed support the project, although some stated the lettering should stand out

more.Jane Schucard wrote

that “the overall concept is artistic, interesting and unique.” Jane Morton de-scribed it as “lovely and fluid.”

Ted Hoehn disagreed, saying he “would rather not have any ‘public art’ im-posed on me.”

“The strange, rust-col-ored standing (fat) yoga that is already there is not beautiful at all,” he wrote. “I understand the proposed sculpture is similarly unap-pealing.”

“Our family lives very near this street corner,” Adrienne Sherman wrote. “When we stop at this cor-ner, our children always know from the back seat that we’re ‘almost home!’

“I feel that this sculp-ture would spoil our expe-rience of returning ‘home,’” Sherman stated. “Public art does not belong here.

Please do not ruin the very sacred nature of this sense of home for all of us.”

One resident called the piece “horrendous.” Josh Sherman described it as “tasteless” and said it “will detract from the natural or-ganic feel to the surround-ings.” He also said it could be a traffic hazard.

The sculpture is 55 feet long and a little more than 6 feet high at the west end. The lettering will be done in a font used throughout the city.

The estimated cost of construction is $35,000. Money will come from the public arts reserve account, which is funded through the transient occupancy tax paid by hotel visitors.

Swanson and Reisdorf were not paid for their work.

The entry sign and monument are expected to be installed by summer.

SIGNCONTINUED FROM B1

she said it was a concern to her when she purchased her house in 1991.

“Everything remains the same. This is why we say that death did not have to happen,” Newbery said.

She said she thinks about the accident every time she pulls in and out of her driveway.

Staff members at Cal-trans are looking at the pos-sibility of closing off Vista Way but the project won’t get underway for a while.

Kosup said construc-tion would not begin un-til 2030 or 2035 although there are talks to move it up five years.

The Environmental Im-pact Review will take about four to five years to com-plete said Kosup.

He said every four years the Regional Trans-portation Plan gets re-eval-uated and it’ll be easier for Caltrans officials to de-termine the costs once the environmental review is finished.

The possibilities pre-sented to the hundreds in attendance ranged from few changes to a complete overhaul to a more tradi-tional style interchange.

If staffers decide to take out the stoplight and convert the interchange to a traditional clover-style interchange, a new on-ramp at Vista Way would need to

be built.It would also close the

Las Flores exit because there would no longer be enough distance to safely navigate to the off-ramp from the interchange.

Another possibility is including direct access ramps for carpool and high occupancy vehicles.

The high attendance wasn’t a surprise to Kosup.

“You could probably have this meeting in any place, Chula Vista, La Mesa, and you would find an issue that brings this passion, which is good. Unfortunate-ly we don’t have enough rev-enue,” Kosup said.

Caltrans will host an-other meeting in late spring with a progress update.

INTERCHANGECONTINUED FROM B1

applicants for three vacan-cies. Not chosen were Wil-liam Howden, whose only choice was View Assess-ment, and Mark Haines, who also applied to serve on Public Arts.

Brett Reisdorf and Stephen Ostrow were re-appointed to that commis-sion, which also had five applicants for three open-ings. Kathryn Schmiede-berg will fill the vacancy left by Allen Moffson, who did not apply for another term.

Public Arts was the second choice for Chris Hohn, who was reappoint-

ed to Parks and Recre-ation. Joining him are new members Rachael Fried-man and Peter McConville.

Public Safety had the same number of applica-tions as vacancies but only two of the four — Bernhard Geierstanger and David Bittar — were selected to serve until staff returns with a summary of actions, if any, the group has taken during the past four or five years.

The review will sub-mitted in a month or so, City Manager David Ott said.

Should the city choose to keep the commission intact, council members could appoint the other

two applicants, Pakso and Jason Barry, rather than advertise to fill the posi-tions.

Commissioners must live in Solana Beach and be at least 18 years old. Members of the View As-sessment and Budget and Finance commissions must also own property within the city.

Each group has seven members, except Budget and Finance, which has five, and all meet once a month.

All terms filled at the Jan. 28 meeting expire in January 2017. All appoint-ments were unanimous. Four applicants were not named to any commission.

Two commercial structures at Carlsbad’s La Costa Towne Center will

be demolished to make way for a revamp that includes the addition

of retail and apartment buildings. The larger new building, shown

above, would include 48 apartments, a courtyard for residents, and

retail. Courtesy renderingsCarlsbad retail center to be revamped with apartments

By Rachel StineCARLSBAD — With it’s primary storefront empty

for five years, the 33-year-old La Costa Towne Center at

the corner of El Camino Real and La Costa Avenue is at

last getting a revamp.The owner of the property gained approval to de-

molish two commercial structures in the shopping cen-

ter and replace them with buildings that are half retail

and half apartments from Carlsbad’s Planning Commis-

sion on April 16.Planning Commissioners praised the owners for

coming forward with plans to redevelop the dated shop-

ping center that they said currently lacks signage, de-

sign, and a main tenant.“(La Costa Towne Center is) just this big long white

wall. You have no idea what’s inside, it’s not inviting,”

said Planning Commissioner Hap L’Heureux. “This cen-

ter has been long overdue.”Commissioner Aurthur Neil Black called the little

mall an eyesore.

Council closer to finalizing Pacific View deal

By Jared WhitlockENCINITAS — The council took

another step toward acquiring the Pa-

cific View site on Wednesday night.

Council members voted 3-2 in

favor of a $50,000 deposit and other

conditions spelled out in a memoran-

dum of understanding for the proper-

ty. That document paves the way for a

final purchase agreement, which the

council majority hopes to approve by

the end of May. But the agenda item sparked a

long debate over whether the council

should have even agreed to pay $10

million to acquire the site from the

Encinitas Union School District.

Resident Jeff Eddington said he’s

excited at the prospect of the city

owning the site, but worried the coun-

cil is getting “bamboozled.” “The city offered $4.3 million for

the property in the not-too-distant

past, and is now offering more than

2.3 times that price.” Eddington said.

Councilman Tony Kranz, an ad-

vocate of the purchase, said the $4.3

million figure was based on the prop-

erty’s current public zoning. And it

was only intended as a first offer.

Additionally, Kranz said he vot-

ed in favor of upping the price know-

ing that EUSD had a strong rezoning

case, which would have made the land

much more valuable. The city could have tried to fight

the district’s rezone request, but that

would likely have resulted in an ex-

pensive court battle, Kranz added.

Last month, EUSD was due to

auction Pacific View with a minimum

bid set at $9.5 million. With the clock

ticking, the city submitted an offer

just before the deadline. EUSD has

delayed the auction by two months as

a safeguard, in case the deal with the

Pacific View Elementary, which closed a de-

cade ago. The council approved a memoran-

dum of understanding at Wednesday night’s

meeting, bringing the city closer to acquiring

the site. Photo by Jared Whitlock

TURN TO DEAL ON A15

Center to be part of housing projectBy Promise YeeOCEANSIDE — The announcement that an Ur-banLIFT grant will fund building the Kay Parker Family Resource Center at the planned Mission Cove affordable housing project bought applause for two reasons.

Community members were glad to have a family resource center as part of the city’s low-income hous-ing project, and equally pleased the name of the center will honor the late Kay Parker, a beloved, fair housing advocate.

Kay’s husband Dick Parker helped accept the grant at the City Council meeting April 16. He said the honor of naming the re-source center after his late wife was well deserved.

The Mission Cove affordable housing and mixed-use project on Mis-sion Avenue is being devel-oped through a partnership between the city and Na-tional Community Renais-sance nonprofit developer.

The project will break ground this summer. Grad-TURN TO CENTER ON A17

Stay in control. If you delay or falter, you will miss out on a golden opportunity. Have faith in your convictions and keep the momentum going. Positive advance-ments are possible if you remain focused and poised to take advantage of whatev-er comes your way. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) -- You will be center stage today. Your intelligence will dazzle everyone, and your energy and quick wit will win approval. Let your animated spirit lead to positive attention from a new admirer. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) -- A peace-ful, relaxing day will help to reduce the stress you have been feeling. This is not a day for decision-making. Pampering yourself will help free your mind of con-fl ict and worry. ARIES (March 21-April 19) -- Don’t be reluctant to ask for help. You can’t do everything yourself, and your health will be jeopardized if you try. As much as you want to help others, you must draw a line.TAURUS (April 20-May 20) -- Do what’s necessary to protect your position. Someone you considered an ally will turn out to be after your job or another asset. Attention to detail and the ability to multi-task will keep you on top. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) -- Stay in shape. Physical and mental challenges

will stimulate your intellect and energy. Too much idle time will make you feel sluggish and lethargic. CANCER (June 21-July 22) -- Your emo-tions could be quite ragged today. Heat-ed arguments are likely if you are quick to take offense to innocent remarks. Think before you speak. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) -- A joint venture will be a good platform to help you ex-pand on your ideas. An alliance with a trusted individual will bring the fi nancial stability that you have been trying to es-tablish.VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) -- If you are dissatisfi ed with your current situation, make a change. Waiting for someone else to step up is unrealistic and count-er- productive. You know what your strengths are, so take action. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) -- Neglecting your responsibilities will turn out to be quite costly. Do your share without com-plaining. Your reputation will suffer if you don’t keep your promises. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) -- There will be some necessary adjustments required in order for you to get back on track. Your progress will slow if you are distracted by what others are doing. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) -- A ca-sual conversation will lead to a promising partnership. Be clear about your expec-tations and limitations. Exaggerating now will backfi re, leaving you in an awkward position when you can’t deliver. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) -- You can get your desired results with diplo-macy and tact. Heavy-handed tactics or ultimatums will generate discord and dis-ruption. Cooperation will be key in form-ing a benefi cial partnership.

Camp pendleton news

Marines with 3/7 train for crisis responseBy Lance Cpl. Danielle Rodrigues

CAMP PENDLETON — “Death to America” is spelled out in large black and red lettering on a post-er board, held by an Arabic man.

This man was among a group role-players, who simulated a riot outside the gates of a combat sim-ulation town aboard Camp Pendleton. Inside the town, Marines secured the area by providing security and keeping the rioters outside.

Marines with 3rd Bat-talion, 7th Marine Regi-ment, 1st Marine Division, came together on Jan. 7, to train for efficient crisis re-sponse without the use of lethal force.

Arabic-speaking role players were provided for this exercise. They dressed the part and spoke the lan-guage to create a cultural and language barrier.

“This training is ex-tremely important because 3/7 has had an illustrious combat history in the past thirteen years," said Staff Sgt. Thomas Ferguson, Ex-peditionary Operations Training Group instructor with I Marine Expedition-ary Force. "They’ve done nothing but combat deploy-ments.

“Doing a combat de-ployment is very aggressive in the nature. Crisis re-sponse isn’t about attacking the enemy, Crisis response is about responding to an

incident, which has already happened and being able to control your actions in that situation and understand-ing how a unit’s actions in the environment translate into public perception.”

The basic training a Marine receives at the School of Infantry sets them up for success in this type of training. They learn how to use force, how to use weapon systems, and how to be attentive for long pe-

riods of time in miserable conditions.

“The use of role-play-ers enhances training by providing the most realistic environment that you can create here on Camp Pend-leton prior to deploying to a foreign area,” said Kev-in Armentrout, operations manager for Glacier Techni-cal Solutions. “When you’re utilizing Marines from your own unit for role playing, you don’t get the same de-

sired training effect or a realistic escalation of force.

"By bringing civilians here, there’s a cultural bar-rier. There’s a language bar-rier; there’s an aspect that becomes realistic.”

During this exercise, Marines practiced how to go from an aggressive mindset, to a more relaxed mindset, said Ferguson, a native of Los Gatos, Califor-nia. They had to keep them-selves from responding as

they normally would in a combat deployment.

“What I think the Ma-rines are going to take away from this is a better idea of the unique relationship be-tween the state department and the Marine Corps,” said Ferguson. “Now, the infantry is starting to get integrated into the mission of the state department. The support that Marines provide can be the future of a United States diplomatic

mission overseas.”The Marine Corps’ re-

lationship with the state department enhances the Marine Corps mission by creating greater security at U.S. Embassies and oversea consulates during any crisis scenario. This protection gives confidence and sta-bility to the U.S. presence worldwide, but starts with training scenarios like the one 3/7 performed on Jan. 7.

Camp Pendleton holds rededication ceremony for CDCBy Lance Cpl. Asia J. Sorenson

CAMP PENDLETON, — The San Rafael Child Development Center was rededicated as the Browne Child Development Center in a ceremony on Jan. 29.

Brig. Gen. Edward D. Banta, Commanding Gen-eral, Marine Corps Instal-lations West, Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, pre-sided over the rededication of the San Rafael Child Development Center to be renamed the Browne Child Development Center.

The Browne Child Development Center is named for Capt. Edward R. Browne. Members of Browne’s close and extend-ed family were present for the ceremony.

“It’s a tremendous honor,” said Betsy Browne, Browne’s daughter. “My mother passed away a year ago, but she knew this was coming and would have been honored to be here.”

Browne, from San Di-ego, was killed in action on July 27, 1967 while serving in the Vietnam War.

“He went out in the middle of the night to res-cue his men and was mor-tally wounded,” said Jim Maher, Browne’s brother-in-law. “His father had died in World War II and he could have chosen not to go to combat, but he cared about his Marines and wanted to be there.”

On Sept. 12, 1985, the Commandant of the Marine Corps approved the naming

of five facilities on Camp Pendleton in honor of five Marines from California

who were killed in action during the Vietnam War.

The Browne Child De-velopment Center was one of these facilities and was first dedicated in 1987.

The original Browne Child Development Center was closed in 2013 when the San Rafael center opened nearby.

“This is an opportunity for us to honor the legacy and service of Capt. Ed-ward Browne,” said Banta. “Capt. Browne made the

ultimate sacrifice for our nation and it’s a wonderful tribute to him and his fam-ily to preserve his memory in this renaming.”

The Browne Child De-velopment Center, along with the other centers aboard Camp Pendleton, is a facility-based childcare service which supports the needs of children ages 6 weeks old to 5 years old.

The centers of-fer both part day and hourly-based care.
