Borrego Health brings urgent care services to Escondido By Hoa Quach

ESCONDIDO — Escondido residents will soon have access to urgent care services in downtown. Borrego Community Health Foundation recently announced that it will offer urgent care services at its downtown Escondido site, Centro Medico Escondido, beginning March 14. The nonprofit health care provider made the decision to expand its services after Palomar Health announced it will close its downtown standby emergency room that same day. Gary Rotto, senior vice president of government and community affairs for Borrego Health, said the nonprofit has explored the idea of offering urgent care services at its Escondido location for some time. “It’s something we’ve been looking at for awhile and with the closure of (Palomar Health’s) downtown campus it makes perfect Centro Medico Escondido will begin offering urgent care services on March 14. The clinic, sense,” Rotto said. owned by Borrego Health, chose to expand its services after Palomar Health announced To offer urgent care services, the closure of its downtown standby emergency room.

Centro Medico Escondido will be open for an additional 32 hours a week. The clinic will also add nine positions, including one physician, to their current staff of 37. Currently, the facility sees about 500 patients per week for services such as family care, pediatric medicine, women’s health, behavioral health, and podiatry. Officials expect to see a patient increase of 25 percent. The change also makes sense, said both health care providers, as 60 to 70 percent of medical situations at Palomar Health’s downtown emergency room could’ve been served at an urgent care clinic. Palomar Health said in the last three years the majority of patients have been “lower level acuity patients who are not crucially ill or injured.” The hospital began the transition plan to close the downtown standby emergency room, TURN TO URGENT CARE ON 10

Embattled EUSD trustee pleads not guilty to charges By Steve Puterski

VISTA — Embattled Escondido Union School District Trustee Jose Fragozo pleaded not guilty to 13 felony counts on Feb. 4 in Superior Court. Fragozo did not speak in court, although his attorney Victor Torres did enter the plea on his client’s behalf. The San Diego County District Attorney’s Office filed the charges earlier this week alleging Fragozo does not reside in his district. He was elected four years ago from District 3, which the DA’s office accuses Fragozo of falsifying his residence in order to be elected. Torres made a brief statement to reporters after the hearing, but did not

tions,” he said. “It’s unfortake questions. “Mr. Fragozo has plead tunate and he’s very disapnot guilty to these allega- pointed that public money

is being spent on this kind of investigation. We believe this will lead to a full exoneration and he looks forward to his day in court, and that I believe, is where all the evidence will be heard.” Fragozo is scheduled to appear March 9 in Superior Court for a readiness hearing, which is to determine if a deal has been agreed, or if the case will move forward. Fragozo is also scheduled for a two-day preliminary hearing beginning on March 23. Fragozo is subject to a temporary restraining order filed by Superintendent Luis Rankins-Ibarra with supplementing statements from three other EUSD administrators on Dec. 2, 2015, after the four alleged

threatening and harassing behavior from Fragozo. The judge in that case upheld the district’s claims, although another hearing is schedule to determine if the order should be upgraded to a full restraining order. The school district’s attorney, Daniel Shinoff, told the court in December his clients suffered through tirades and threats of physical violence from Fragozo. In addition, Shinoff said Deputy Superintendent Leila Sackfield felt, at one point, she had been falsely imprisoned, while Assisatant Superintendents Kelly Prins and Kevin Rubow were targets of bouts of yelling “as close as possible” with Fragozo pointing his finger in their faces.

San Marcos announce slew of traffic safety improvements By Aaron Burgin

SAN MARCOS — The city of San Marcos has outlined an ambitious agenda of road and traffic safety improvements coming to the city over the next two years, including the widening of state Route 78 in one of the most congested stretches of freeway in the county. Some of the projects are being funded and completed with state and federal dollars, but city officials said it was important to provide residents with a comprehensive list to put all of the upcoming changes into perspective. The biggest short term project is the imminent widening of SR 78 between Woodland Parkway and Twin Oaks Valley Road, which has the dubious distinction of being one of the county’s 10 worst traffic bottlenecks. The most recent traffic data from Caltrans said the traffic costs commuters 209,000 hours of vehicle delay, good for the fifth worst traffic bottleneck in the county. According to the city, the widening will add east and westbound auxiliary lanes, which will make it easier for drivers to enter and exit the freeway. The project is expected to start next spring.

Doors of Change reaches out to North County By Promise Yee

REGION — Setting out on your own in your early 20s has its challenges, but for young adults who are pushed out of their home by abuse, drug addicted parents, or families that can not accept their sexual orientation the road is exponentially harder. That is where Jeffery Sitcov steps in to help. He founded Doors of Change in 2001. Sitcov said he was at a personal crossroads, after an unexpected accident altered his life and career, when he became aware of the problem of youth homelessness and had the revelation he could help solve it.

“I had no idea we had homeless kids until I was on the streets of Mission Beach 15 years ago,” says Jeffrey Sitcov, founder of Doors of Change.

programs after Larkin Street Youth in San Francisco and Covenant House of California in Los Angeles. Since 2001 Doors of Change has offered outreach and drop in arts and music therapy programs that build trust with homeless and disadvantaged youth ages 12 to 24. The weekly programs provide two hour arts and music lessons, a hot meal, clothes, shoes, monthly haircuts, and help to obtain basic social services. Classes are held at The Episcopal Church Center in Ocean Beach, and music instruction is provided by Blues Lovers United. Sitcov said once trust is built young men and women can be directed to additional support services. “Kids are there by choice,” Sitcov said. “It allows them to trust quicker than we’ve ever seen.” Sitcov said this is crucial for young men and women who have become depressed and hopeless from life on the streets. “Kids are all in survival mode,” Sitcov said. “They’re wearing a mask. They don’t trust anybody. We bring hope alive in them, and show them they

do have value and talent.” There is a large unmet need for homeless youth support services. The number of kids on the streets of San Diego County is growing and their vulnerability leaves them open to the worse. “It’s getting worse,” Sitcov said. “Of the youth on the streets, within 72 hours there is survival sex by 80 percent, both boys and girls. It’s the only way they have to make money initially.” Progress begins in small, important steps. Youth in the program begin to heal, and learn how to make crafts and play an instrument. They can use these skills to work as street artisans and earn money. Sitcov said performing on violin to a receptive audience instills a great sense of accomplishment in youth. In addition to weekly help, Doors of Change partnered with Solutions for Change to run a pilot youth transitional housing program in Vista last year. The program provided supervised safe housing, employment readiness training, internships, life skills classes, TURN TO DOORS ON 18

Vista recruiting for community emergency response team By Hoa Quach

VISTA — How should you respond in the face of a disaster? That’s the question an upcoming program in North County will answer. The Community Emergency Response Team program, which begins in April and is hosted by Palomar College, will cover eight different topics related to disaster preparedness over the course of a few weeks. Participants are then encouraged to join their city’s team to help during disasters. Ned Vander Pol, a deputy chief for the Vista Fire Department, said the city has up to 300 CERT members with about 30 who are currently active. He said he hopes to increase the members to 50. “It would help us expand the number of emergency responders we have and augment the system that’s already in place,” Vander Pol said. “Sometimes firefighters and paramedics can work up to 72 hours without a break. CERT members could help out.” Vander Pol said the CERT members played a significant role in the 2011 power outage that blacked out neighborhoods in California, Tijuana and Arizona. That power outage affected an estimated 7 million people. “Following the power outage, we had CERT members come out to the Emergency Operations Center to assist with communications,” Vander Pol said. “That allowed firefighters to go out and help people where it was needed.” But, the program would also just be beneficial for one’s own knowledge, Vander Pol said. Participants will learn how to interact with people after a disaster, how to be a good listener and learn medical operations like bleed control or how to splint a broken bone, he said. The annual program is free and takes place at the Public Safety Training facility at 184 Santar Place in San Marcos. The program meets from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. every Wednesday from April 13 to June 4. For more information, go to vistacert.org.

San Marcos is latest to enact pet-store ordinance By Aaron Burgin

SAN MARCOS — San Marcos recently joined a host of cities that have permanently banned pet stores from selling dogs, cats and other animals purchased from so-called “puppy mills.” The City Council Feb. 9 voted unanimously in favor of the second reading of the ordinance introduced Jan. 26, which permits stores to sell rescues and shelter pets. Shop owners will have to carry certificates confirming the source of the animals. It also gives current pet shops six months to disen-

on the stores in the wake of gage from the practice. The new rules take ef- a pet store opening up in a fect 60 days from the Feb. 9 commercial center on Norvote. “This really pulls at your heart strings,” Councilwoman Rebecca Jones said at the Jan. 26 meeting. “The (pet dealers) are not taking care of the animals the way I think they should, and I have a real problem with that.” At the January council meeting, 19 speakers spoke on the controversial topic, which has been debated in San Marcos since April, Jim Desmond when the City Council origiMayor, San Marcos nally enacted a moratorium

dahl Road, owned by a man who prompted a similar moratorium in Oceanside. Retail pet stores have come under increased scrutiny in recent years by animal rights activists who allege the retailers are selling animals bred at so-called “puppy mills.” Seventeen of the 19 speakers spoke in favor of the ban, while two — David Salinas, the owner of Mini Toy Puppies, and an associate — spoke in opposition. “I love animals, I have always owned a dog,” Salinas said. “It doesn’t mean that we

don’t love animals because of where they come from, that is ridiculous.” Mayor Jim Desmond said he grappled with the decision because he does not like to regulate where businesses can get their supplies, but said that animals are a different story. “These are living and breathing things,” Desmond said. “And that is where I draw the line.” San Marcos joins San Diego, Encinitas, Vista and Chula Vista, which have all adopted bans over the past two years.

Calls against puppy mills voiced again in Escondido By Steve Puterski

Vista fire chief leads department in new era By Hoa Quach

VISTA — At 17, Jeff Hahn knew he wanted to have a career that allowed him to help others. Growing up in Bonita, the future Vista leader worked at a small hospital. One day, while working in the hospital’s kitchen, he was forced to help a patient. “This guy collapsed on the floor,” Hahn said. “He went into cardiac arrest. I did CPR on him and we ended up saving the guy’s life. It was a pretty cool experience.” Thirty-four years later, Hahn is the new chief of the Vista Fire Department. He replaces Rick Minnick, who retired in 2015 after 34 years of service. Just like Minnick, Hahn worked his way up in the fire services industry. Hahn began his career as a paramedic and completed a six-month internship with the Vista Fire Department. After about a year working in the city of San Diego, Hahn returned to the North County city and joined the department in 1986. He said the Vista department couldn’t be beat. “There was this whole concept about teamwork that really struck with me,” said Hahn, who now lives in Valley Center. “Everybody here from the captain to

the me, as the paramedic, worked together. It was really a supportive environment and in the mid-‘80s, not all places were like that.” While serving as a paramedic, Hahn said he admired the firefighters who helped others. “I would just watch them in action and it seemed like the coolest job ever,” Hahn said. “I really wanted to be a part of that.” Hahn not only became a part of the team but climbed the ranks. He became a battalion chief in 2008 and a deputy chief in 2012, before being appointed to lead the department. Today, he oversees a department with 80 employees and a budget of $17.5 million. He said his biggest challenge is ensuring the department is staffed appropriately and that firefighters are well-trained. Hahn said fire departments across Southern California are experiencing high turnover because many firefighters were hired in the 1980s and 1990s during a growth in the industry. “So we have a lot of new people and the average age is falling,” Hahn said. “In the fire service arena, experience counts for a lot. We’re trained to do all sorts of different and technical

rescues. To be at the highest levels you want them to be is a constant challenge of the training cycle.” Hahn said he’ll also have to play catch-up with the department as the city is just now recovering from the recession. “I’m kind of coming into this leadership role at a unique time,” Hahn said. “A lot of things that we would’ve normally accomplished were put on hold because of the recession. We had to trim our budgets and we struggled a bit but now we’re coming out of this. There’s a lot of opportunities to improve now.” One area that may change are the staffing levels. Hahn said the department is preparing a strategic plan and researching how to work most effectively. “We laid off a number of staff,” Hahn said. “Realistically, I think we’ll be requesting to add staff. That could happen within the next 12 months.” Of course, there’s also the high possibility of wildfires with the drought and extreme weather temperatures. “Our topography is very challenging for wildland fires,” Hahn said. TURN TO FIRE CHIEF ON 18

ESCONDIDO — A group of concerned North County residents reopened the debate to ban retail pet stores specializing in puppy sales. Andrea Cunningham, a 40-year resident of Escondido and breeder, followed a three-minute video presentation depicting how animals in puppy mills are housed and treated, and said a retail store in the Westfield North County mall has reopened under a different name, but still uses dogs from puppy mills. She said Escondido Pets, formerly California Pets, receives its animals from a warehouse at 555 Country Club Drive by way of a distributor in the Midwest. The pet store and warehouse, she said, are owned by David Salinas. Cunningham, along with Encinitas resident Laurie Michaels, both railed against Salinas’ practices of shipping in puppies from the Midwest, storing them in his warehouse until they can be brought to the store for sale. “They give out fake service dog credentials,” she said. “Escondido Pets provides a retail outlet for puppy mills.” According to previous media reports last August, Salinas owned several stores in Southern California. One of his stores, Oceanside Puppy, was targeted by the City Council there when it passed an ordinance outlawing the sale of puppy mill dogs. According to a San Diego Reader article last year, Salinas purchases from Hunte Corporation, which ships the dogs by truck. Cunningham and Michaels, meanwhile, said the practice incorporates cruel treatments such as housing the dogs in cages where the animals have their size, plus six inches of space. In addition, breeding techniques are terrible, the group said, stating many dogs are inbred, females pump out litter after litter and sell underage puppies.

Numerous cities in San Diego County have instituted bans such as Encinitas, San Marcos, Vista, Oceanside, San Diego and Chula Vista. Another concerned activist said Escondido has become a dumping ground for the animals, which also suffer from various medical conditions they say are not disclosed. Salinas said in previous report he gives 10-year guarantees on his puppies. He also said he has been to the Hunte Corporation facility several times, which is “top notch.” In addition, he said he wouldn’t work with breeders who are not in compliance with state and federal laws. The North County group, meanwhile, urged the City Council to draw up an ordinance similar to those in other cities to stop the practice. Mayor Sam Abed, who owns a dog, asked the group if any of the footage in the video was shot in Escondido. The group didn’t know. Regardless, he said, “I don’t think anybody would tolerate the abuse of animals.”

Encinitas, Carlsbad in same fight for open space By Celia Kiewit

Letters to the Editor Cast your ballots Many of you received your ballots in the mail or plan to cast your ballots at the polls. Before you vote, I want to let you know that I strongly support YES on Measure A. I have lived in Carlsbad for 38 years and was a part of the group of city leaders who crafted Carlsbad’s Growth Management Plan. Back then, as now, we wanted to ensure that all builders are held to high standards that protect our quality of life. I believe Rick Caruso’s proposed plan is a perfect fit for Carlsbad and meets or exceeds our City’s planning standards, framework and codes, including our strict 35-foot height limit as well as our setback requirements. Carlsbad is a place where the quality of life for our families and friends means everything. That is why I served our community on the city council for 32 years and why I support YES on Measure A. Measure A will give us beautiful gathering places where families and friends can play, meet up, and grab a bite to eat together, and where they can walk on trails and bike on paths that are all close to home. Everyone should vote YES on Measure A. Our city council unanimously endorsed YES on Measure A. The Carlsbad Firefighters Association and the Carlsbad Police Officers’ Association endorse YES on Measure A. The Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation and the Carlsbad Strawberry Company also endorse YES on Measure A. If you have questions, please review the facts in the City of Carlsbad’s “Voter Guide” or visit the Measure A Information Center at the corner of Cannon Road and I-5. I am sure you will discover that this destination

will be a beautiful, family-friendly community jewel. Please vote by mail or at the polls: YES on Measure A! Ann Kulchin, former Carlsbad City Councilmember Remember to vote There has been a lot of misunderstanding as to what Measure A in Carlsbad is all about. Those of us who have lived here for many years, as well as many of those who are recent residents know what a great city, we are fortunate enough to call our home. Over the years we have always had a great Carlsbad City Council that has put the citizen’s best interest ahead of the various special interests. We are the envy of most Cities throughout our state as well as neighboring states. Most of us realize that the current City Council follows that tradition. All you have to do is look around the city and you realize what a fantastic job our City Council has done. As a 40 year resident, I believe Carlsbad has the best City Council ever. Since we elected them to do what is in the best interests of us Citizens, we trust them to do exactly that. You might say they are our “proxy” votes on various decisions. However, sometimes a special interest group comes along that doesn’t agree with our City Council and tries to overturn their vote. As a result we are having a special election on Feb. 23, to ratify the council’s vote on the Agua Hedionda South Shore Specific Plan, also known as the 85/15 plan. If you support our City Council, it’s extremely important that you vote yes on “Measure A.” If you vote by absentee ballot (by mail), please mark yes on Measure A

and return your ballot right away. If going to your polling place, please vote by marking yes on Measure A on your ballot. If you are still not certain how you should vote, please don’t listen to the fiction and rumors. Check out the true facts at the Information Center at The Strawberry Fields (Canon Road at Interstate 5), or the city’s website carlsbadca.gov. If you learn the truth, I’m sure you’ll vote yes on measure A Just remember, to ratify the council’s vote, even though you support your City Council’s decisions on the Specific Plan, you must vote “YES on Measure A” in the Special Election on Feb. 23. James Courtney, Carlsbad Mall won’t improve area Formerly a citizen of Carlsbad, now Oceanside, disgust over the Carlsbad mayor and the Caruso initiative is infuriating. As avid kayakers, often enjoying Hedionda Lagoon/ open spaces west to the ocean, a Nordstrom mall hardly improves that special experience. Commercials reflect deceptiveness of the Caruso motive, pretending to improve our community. Exclusivity, self-important incentives for council members is ruining the jewel that is Carlsbad. True demographics don’t support shopping for the 1 percent-over natural resources, leaving out the majority of families. Caruso brings traffic, lit parking areas, negative progress to neighbors and wildlife. Bud Lewis is rolling over, as snooty council members throw the community under the LA bandwagon. Elected officials used to have integrity, now they are just 1 percent-wanna-be’s. Stephanie Krzyzopolski, Oceanside

Have you taken a good look at the Rick Caruso project? I don’t know about you, but I don’t need any more fancy shopping and a bigger parking lot on Interstate 5 in Carlsbad. A recent political meeting featured Mayor Matt Hall advocating for the mega mall as if it was a done deal with no opposition presentation. Mr. Caruso was there, very charming as always. He even suggested bringing me in from Encinitas for the vote. Not sure, but I think he was kidding. Do you trust the officials hired to draft the plans for this project? Where is the oversight of development plans if the governing body of the city is assisting the developer with legal support? Where are the conceptual models? Scare tactics have been employed in terms of what would happen to the land if this development is nixed. Can the developer make changes if Prop. A passes? Few people have scrutinized the issues to see what’s really going on behind the screen. With 397 pages of the plan, one of the councilmen said he hadn’t read it but voted “yes” anyway. Sound familiar? Last Saturday afternoon the traffic was heavy and it was nearly impossible to find a parking space at The Company Stores. The price of a piece of lug-

gage I needed was about $200, so I ended-up at TJ Maxx and got the exact same thing for $79. That’s what I’m talking about! The more closet space I have, the more stuff I accumulate to fill it — not unlike, in this case, more lanes, more cars, more sitting in endless traffic, more pollution, more insanity. Where does it end? The revenuers/developers/city council elders never have enough of our tax money.

of the planet despite the lure of another Nordstrom next door and the efforts of a charismatic developer who thinks it’s a good idea for North County to look more like “The Big OC,” or because SANDAG and Caltrans don’t have a better solution to ongoing transportation challenges. I oppose more “affordable” housing on the coast where it doesn’t belong, where most people don’t know that tons of subsidized housing already ex-

As a conservative and a conservationist, I oppose more gratuitous paving of the planet despite the lure of another Nordstrom... do.

That’s just what they ists.

Encinitas is more of a bedroom community than Carlsbad, but we are fighting the same battle, trying to hold on to the little bit of open space we have left. Our liberal state legislature endorses and enables these policies leaving us vulnerable to lawsuits if we don’t comply. It is not elitist to object to ruining our communities with too much development. As a conservative and a conservationist, I oppose more gratuitous paving

I wasn’t opposed to the desal plant, but I do object to the claims of a drought that have been proven to be mostly political, and now we’re paying for water being dumped in a local lake because the contract was signed to purchase it, as rates continue to rise. None of this is good planning and our coastal quality of life is at stake. The vote on Prop A is scheduled for Feb. 23. Celia Kiewit is an Encinitas resident.

A small business-friendly $800k contributed to fund road project agenda for North County By Steve Puterski

Northbound vince vasquez

L

ocal economists are projecting an economic slowdown in San Diego County this year, which may impact our North County small business community. If there were an opportunity to advance a pro-active small business agenda in our North County cities, this would seem to be it. While North County has a strong reputation for being “business-friendly,” there’s always room for improvement. Small steps in the right direction can make a big difference for entrepreneurship and local job creation. I’m an idea guy, so here’s a few that maybe our North County mayors and city councilmembers can consider reviewing for implementation. Why not give small-business owners a central role in cutting red tape? From 1993 to 2000, special public hearings known as “Regulatory Relief Days” were held in the city of San Diego, giving residents and business owners an opportunity to share their horror stories with municipal bureaucracy. Critically, the popular program institutionalized the routine annual review and repealing of onerous and obsolete city regulations. With bipartisan support, Regulatory Relief Days led to the elimination of more than 40 obsolete regulations, such as the ban on child care centers in residentially zoned areas, and reduced the time to get a business permit in the city by more than half. How about stimulating sales activity and construction job growth with a short-term waiver of permits and inspection fees

for common home renovation projects? Cities such as Anaheim, Corona and West Sacramento have in recent years held “home improvement holidays” offering a cost-effective way to spur new economic activity that is otherwise hampered by budget cuts, long waits and exorbitant surcharges. In June 2009, Denver held a two-week “Home Renovation Bonanza,” giving owners of single-family homes and duplexes free, issued-on-the-spot permits for nine major property improvements, including basic interior remodeling chores, roof repair and solar panel installation. In all, 1,234 permits were pulled by property owners, costing the city $85,773 in lost permit fee revenue but generating $6.28 million in home improvements that created a wealth of construction jobs for independent contractors. Finally, targeted relief should be considered for home-based businesses (HBBs), a low-profile commercial sector that comprises nearly half of all businesses in America. Giving a helping hand to HBBs can produce results quickly and cost-effectively. In the early 1990s, the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors advanced an aggressive nine-point work agenda for home-based businesses, which included organizing annual workshops and conferences for HBBs, advocating for zoning ordinance reforms and developing a home-based business guide. Why not North County? Fostering a healthier business climate is a laudable goal that every elected official should prioritize. In these challenging economic times, leaders in North County should seize the initiative, and set an example for all others to follow. Vince Vasquez is a think tank analyst based in Torrey Pines. He is a Carlsbad resident.

ESCONDIDO — Escondido city officials announced on Monday the Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians of Valley Center has agreed to contribute $800,000 to fund the shortfall in the East Valley Parkway/Valley Center Road construction project. In a press release from the city, the amount exceeds Rincon’s Fair Share obligation of $579,000 to mitigate traffic impacts on city roads from the Harrah’s Resort Expansion project. A signing ceremony was held Wednesday at the City Council meeting. The project widens a 3,000-foot segment of East Valley Parkway/Valley Center Road to provide three lanes in each direction between Beven and Lake Wohlford roads. The bridge over Escondido Creek will be wid-

ened to accommodate two through lanes in each direction north of Lake Wohlford Road. Construction will include curbs and gutters, streetlights, landscaped medians, new pavement and traffic signal modifications. The estimated total cost of the project is $9.7 million. Construction is expected to begin late summer or early fall. “Thanks to the Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians, we now can complete this final stretch of road improvements which will greatly improve traffic flow and safety for Escondido and Valley Center residents, as well as visitors to the area,” Escondido Mayor Sam Abed said. According to Bo Mazzetti, chairman of the Rincon Band, there is usually a long gap between calculating and collecting fair share funds to actually mitigating

a traffic problem. “We funded the extra amount needed to make the improvements because we wanted to solve the problem sooner rather than later,” Mazzeti said. “Our government has a vested interest in traffic safety because we live on these roads. People we care about drive on Valley Center Road — our neighbors, our guests and our families use this road, and our emergency first responders depend on it.” The Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians governs a 5,000-acre reservation in Valley Center. Established in 1875, the Rincon tribe is a sovereign government, recognized by the Constitution of the United States, federal law and policy and court precedent. As such, the tribal government has many responsibilities and powers equal to city, county, state

Vista students learn to think globally By Ray Huard

VISTA — When students at Vista Academy of Visual and Performing arts were reading a book about Japan for history and literature, art teacher Kathy Olson had them make fish paintings using real fish. Students covered the fish with paint, then pressed the fish onto rice

paper to create an image in a form of traditional Japanese art called gyotaku. It was a way Japanese fisherman kept a record of their catch, Olson said. For the Vista Academy (VAPA) students, it was the global connection that makes VAPA special as one of five schools in the Vista Unified School District that are either International Baccalaureate (IB) schools or IB candidates which are in the process of becoming certified as IB schools. Their work and that of students from the other Vista IB schools and IB candidate schools were on

display in a recent IB expo at Vista Magnet Middle School. The purpose of the exposition was to introduce IB to parents and students who may be unfamiliar with it, said Tess Kim, a content resource support teacher and organizer of the expo. “There are some families that have a very clear sense, but I think the bulk of our families could use a bit more information about what exactly IB is about,” Kim said. “It is a rigorous curriculum that is meant to challenge students to become more internationally minded.” Founded in Geneva, TURN TO STUDENTS ON 20

governments and even the federal government, with which tribes have a government-to-government relationship. Owners of Harrah’s Resort Southern California, the tribe uses profits from this, and other commercial enterprises, to provide legislative, regulatory, judicial and administrative governmental services to the residents of the Rincon reservation. Federal law restricts the expenditure of gaming profits to tribal government programs and services, but allows for charitable contributions to other governments and non-profits. Rincon’s democratically elected tribal council members are Mazzetti, Vice Chairwoman Stephanie Spencer and council members Steve Stallings, Laurie E. Gonzalez and Alfonso Kolb, Sr.

SAN MARCOS — San Marcos Mayor Jim Desmond has announced that he is running for county supervisor in 2018. Desmond is running in District 5, where longtime supervisor Bill Horn will be termed out of office after serving six terms. He is the first person to announce their candidacy in what is expected to be a crowded field to succeed the controversial longtime supervisor. Desmond in a brief statement on Feb. 4 touted his experience as mayor in San Marcos, where the city has had a period of unparalleled stability, both financially and politically. Desmond and his colleagues ran unopposed for mayor in 2014, prompting the city to cancel the election for the first time in the city’s 51year history. He also touted his experience on regional boards such as the San Diego County Association of Governments and the San Diego Airport Authority. “As Mayor of San Marcos with balanced budgets, strong reserves, and solid infrastructure our community has thrived,” Desmond said. “As a board member of SANDAG and the San Diego Airport Authority I have approved billions of dollars of regional projects creating thousand of local jobs.” Desmond was elected to the council in 2004 and scored a major political upset when he defeated four-term mayor F.H. “Corky” Smith in the November 2006 election. Desmond, who has been a pilot with Delta Airlines since 1986, is a self-proclaimed “fiscal conservative” and a registered Republican. “I’ll bring fiscally conservative values to the County and build a better future for all county residents,” Desmond said in his statement.

Oceanside’s first car cruise may soon become a regular thing By Promise Yee

OCEANSIDE — Close to 100 classic cars and hot rods lined two blocks of Coast Highway Wednesday night for Oceanside’s first car cruise. The Hearts and Rods car cruise was part of the city’s Valentine’s week celebration, but Dino Lacovino said he and friends have wanted to hold a regular car cruise in Oceanside for a long time. Lacovino organizes the annual South Oceanside car show that is a fundraiser for South Oceanside Elementary. He said a monthly car cruise would bring hot rod and classic car owners together in Oceanside, the same way car cruises do in Escondido and Encinitas. Lacovino and John Daley, owner of the 101 Dinner, organized Wednesday’s car cruise within a month. Daley said he contacted car clubs online and held a television interview about the cruise. Information was also shared with Visit Oceanside and the Oceanside Chamber of Commerce. There was no entry fee or judging. Daley said he simply invited people who like their cars to bring them down. “It’s a cool night to come down to look at cars, new eateries, brew pubs and tap houses,” Daley said. Car owners showing off and selling their hot rods and classic cars parked along Coast Highway from Wisconsin Avenue to Minnesota Avenue and beyond. Hemann Quint brought his 1957 Thunderbird. Quint said he recently bought the Thunderbird so he could hang out with

Most event-goers gathered at Bagby Beer Company after checking out cars. Daley said once the car cruise becomes a regular event more South Oceanside businesses will stay open to benefit from the Wednesday night crowd. A monthly car cruise may start in April. Cars would park along the street, and at this point there would be no road closures.

won’t say I’ve never regretted tossing something out. I’m just saying the list of those regrets is far, far shorter than the list of things I get tired of stepping over, dusting, shuffling, filing or storing. Still, I will reluctantly admit that going through the overstuffed boxes, albums and foot lockers that my mother left behind was a fascinating journey. The tossing-out was copious, including schoolwork and report cards of mine and my brother’s from first grade on, articles on home decorating, bank receipts as far back as 1960, every list she ever made, a bazillion recipes and photos of people we simply can’t remember. There were dozens and dozens of greeting cards sent to her by anyone for every occasion. There were letters from my brother or from me from the day we moved anywhere far enough away to write. But among all the flotsam and jetsam were some treasures. She kept all the letters my dad wrote to her just after they were mar-

ried, while he was in flying school and in the Aleutian Islands during World War II. I found my dad’s Air Force Cadet graduation book, my grandfather’s confirmation certificate, my grandmother’s passport, plus scrapbooks my mom kept during high school and college years. It was a brilliant portrait of life growing up in San Diego in the ‘30s and ‘40s. There were invitations to, and favors from, parties and dances where the big bands played. She had mementos of fraternity events held at San Diego State College from 1936 to 1939. There was her graduation certificate from beauty school and the business card from the shop she opened and ran herself. There are letters from beaus and postcards from friends. Many of the names were familiar to me, as this extraordinary group remained fast friends throughout their lives. I also found letters from my maternal grandfather to his mother, written from 1917 through 1920, from Edmonton, Canada, where my mother was born. Along with general news, he talked of the difficulties and deaths from the influenza epidemic of those years. Among the stacks were a 1948 Collier’s and a 1953 TURN TO SMALL TALK ON 18

The Colorado Rockies... a winter wonderland hit the road e’louise ondash

A

fresh snowfall is a beautiful thing, especially if you don't have to go anywhere. And we don’t — at least not until tomorrow. It is our last day in the Colorado Rockies and my husband and I are with Bill and Sharon from Houston. We’ve come to Edwards (altitude 7,200 feet), a small town about a two-and-a-half hour drive west of Denver. Here at Bearcat Stables, we four marvel that, just as we begin our sleigh ride, the white stuff begins to fall. “Just as I ordered,” jokes my husband. This sleigh ride is an anniversary gift (let’s just say our Groundhog Day

wedding took place sometime during the last millennium), and this scene couldn’t be prettier. The flakes are growing larger and wetter as we slide along the countryside in the small sleigh. It is driven by stable-owner Gavin Selway, who was basking in the Maui sun just a few hours earlier. Now back on the job, he tells us about the history of the Edwards area and Ellis “Bearcat” Beardon, the rancher who raised his family and worked on this land. All around us, the landscape is transforming into a winter wonderland, as new snow covers the old, filling the crevices, smoothing the rough spots, and whitening the dark patches. My fingers are so cold they sting, probably because I keep trying to snap photos with my phone. But my borrowed ski jacket (thank you, friend Donna) and the blankets provided by Selway, keep me otherwise comfort-

I can’t help it; I have to hum the theme from the film “Dr. Zhivago.” Above us on the ridge we see a line of elk (Colorado has the largest elk herd in the country — 265,000, according to Colorado Parks and Wildlife), and later, on the slope along the road, we see two deer grazing on shoots of grass that poke through the newly fallen snow. We do not, however, spot the mother mountain lion Selway tells us about. She has been guiding her several cubs, one by one, down to the frozen carcass of a deer she killed several A foot of new snow blankets the Vail Valley, much to skiers’ delights.

This circle-of-life drama has been happening just a few feet from the main road, and the scene often attracts a dozen or more people who watch and take pictures. This apparently does not bother the big-cat

family at all. After our sleigh ride, we drive to the nearby Club at Cordillera, where we warm up in front of the huge stone fireplace, and enjoy excellent salmon and lasagna in the large, tim-

Hiring fair for military spouses REGION — Although the veteran unemployment situation is improving, data shows that military spouses face continued challenges in finding meaningful employment. Unemployment among military spouses tends to be up to 30 percent higher than their civilian counterparts and underemployment is even higher. On Feb. 17 and Feb. 18, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce Foundation is hosting a Hiring Our Heroes Military Spouse Networking Reception and Hiring Fair at Camp Pendleton in Oceanside. The networking reception takes place Feb. 17 from 7 to 9 p.m. and

the Hiring Fair takes place Feb. 18 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Both will be held at the Pacific Views Event Center, Bldg 202850 San Jacinto Rd. The event is open to all active duty, guard, reserve, veteran, and gold star spouses. Veterans and service members are also encouraged to attend. Both local and national employers are expected to participate, with jobs available for spouses of all levels of experience. More information about the event and the registration link can be found here: uschamberfou ndat ion.org / event / camp-pendleton-militaryspouse-2-day-event.

REGION — Mike Wolfe, Frank Fritz, and their team are excited to return to California! They plan to film episodes of the hit series “American Pickers” throughout California with filming scheduled for March. “American Pickers” is a documentary series that explores the fascinating world of antique “picking” on the History Channel. The hit show follows Wolfe and Fritz, two of the most skilled pickers in the business, as they hunt for America’s most valuable antiques — from motorcycles, classic cars and bicycles, to one-of-a-kind vintage memorabilia. As they hit the back roads from coast to coast, Wolfe and Fritz continue

American history along the way. The show is looking for leads and would love to explore your buried treasure.

They are on the hunt for characters with interesting and unique items. Some of what they look for: vintage bicycles, toys, unusual radios, movie memorabilia, advertising, military items, folk art, pre-50’s western gear, early firefighting equipment, vintage musical equipment, automotive items, and clothing. They are always excited to find things they’ve never seen before and learn the story behind it.

ENCINITAS — You never know what you’re going to see when you look out onto the ocean — a sea lion, a whale, a dolphin — a young blonde girl tinkering around with a camera in large surf. For more than a year now, Amanda Scarski has been riding the rip currents out to a spot at any one of the county’s local beaches she deems a good vantage point all to capture an image and an experience that only the ocean can offer. To Scarski, who grew up and lives in Encinitas, the ocean has always been a passion of hers. Always comfortable in the water, Scarski has formed a connection with the ocean, so much so that she’s adopted her “Gidget-by-TheSea,” moniker, due to another connection she shares with the Gidget character author Frederick Kohner created (who happened to be based on his surfing daughter, Kathy Kohner) back in the 1950s. “The bigger the better,” Scarski said of the waves and conditions she likes to photograph in. Though the San Diego County lifeguard-turned-water photographer’s time in the ocean has taught her how not to panic if pummeled by a wave. During a shoot at Black’s Beach she got “crushed” by a set, she said, and instead of panicking she just let it take her.

“It’ll let you up in a little bit. Don’t panic,” she said. The ocean on its own can be dangerous, but then add a mix of surfers streaking down a wave and the environment becomes even more rife with risk. Recently, she explained how she almost got hit in the head by a surfer’s board as he rode past her on a wave — she didn’t — but she understands, that as an avid surfer, too, how bad it would be to get in someone’s way. “I really try to time it just right. Fortunately, I haven’t been hit in the face, yet — I say, yet,” she said. Exploring the ocean’s

power and beauty is what’s at the heart of her work. “When I’m out in the water, my goal is to not get the same shot over and over again, or to experience the same thing over and over again,” she said. “It’s to experience something different because each day it’s a different experience — the weather’s different, the conditions are different, the tides are different.” Her knowledge of the ocean — not to mention the physical challenges of being in it — have helped to shape her eye when it comes to takTURN TO PHOTOGRAPHER ON 18

al Ercolano’s Seasalt Seafood Bistro, along the shoreline of a Del Mar lagoon, is shaping the wine and dine experience as it enters its second year of serving diners in the San Diego north coastal market. After a number of successful wine dinners last year and an Oregon winery event a couple of weeks ago, Ercolano sees Seasalt as a leading stage for great wines from around the world, paired with his innovative menu. ”I am planning to offer a sensational wine and dinner event each month and present it in one of Seasalt’s event rooms,” he announced. “The winery will bring one of their experts to guide my guests with their choices.” I asked Ercolano what he is planning for the next couple of months to match his Oregon event. He got excited as he revealed that a leading wine estate from Napa Valley, Merryvale Winery, will be bringing their award winning wines to Seasalt Feb. 24.

I got excited when I heard that it will be Italian Wine Night with Italian wine celebrity Marco Barat, presenting his passionate and colorful wine stories, March 23. It’s always worth the price of admission. Speaking of price, Seasalt has been the most reasonable of any restaurant in their price package for their wine feasts. Here you get a fivecourse custom dinner, carefully prepared by an executive chef. Add to this masterpiece, a minimum four generous pours of premium wines, with a professional wine commentator educating guests, for a cost of just $55.

Burgundy, in France, was the birthplace of Pinot Noir. A white wine sure to please is the King Estate “Domaine” Pinot Gris, a complex, delicious white wine with Nectarine, Apricot and Orange Blossom honey. The 2014 is now released ($18). This wine recently took “best of class” at the recent San Francisco Chronicle competition with more than 7,000 entries.

Man finds another kind of excitement with new film By Aaron Burgin

ENCINITAS — Graham Ehlers Sheldon has had a lot of excitement in his 20s. He’s traveled to the stark terrain of icy Alaska to produce a documentary on the Iditarod, to the nuclear-ravaged aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster in Russia for another documentary, and been in the company of the Ku Klux Klan and Black Panthers for yet another film. The 29-year-old film producer finds himself in Bloomington, Ind. — and couldn’t be more excited. The college town is the set of his second feature film, “The Good Catholic,” which stars a couple of venerable actors — Danny Glover of “Lethal Weapon” fame, and John C. McGin-

ley, the “Scrubs” star who is one of America’s most recognizable character actors. “My previous work involved a lot of personal risk, so there is less of a chance of me getting physically hurt,” Sheldon said. “That’s definitely a change of pace for me, but exciting for a lot of different reasons.” On Monday, Glover arrived in Bloomington, a high-water mark in Sheldon’s film-producing career. “I mean, Danny Glover has had an incredible career and continues to have an incredible career,” the film producer and Encinitas resident said days before Glover’s arrival. “We TURN TO PRODUCER ON 18

ESCONDIDO — On any given Thursday at Bellamy’s in Escondido, you’ll find a romantic setting, you’ll smell delectable French cuisine, and you’ll hear one soulful voice. That voice belongs to Britt Doehring, a 24-yearold woman from Fallbrook, with a passion for singing and a voice comparable to Stevie Nicks or even the legendary Karen Carpenter. Doehring, who has a bachelor’s degree in music from Point Loma Nazarene University, recently released her second album, “Right Where You Are.” The album is made up of 10 songs, mostly about love and heartache, and was recorded with the help of her former music professor and even, a violinist from the Los Angeles Philharmonic. “I am thrilled for this new album,” said Doehring, who describes her music as acoustic pop. “I was able to record songs sitting in the same seat Frank Sinatra once sat in.” But Doehring isn’t an overnight success. The North County native dedicated most of her life to learning music. “My parents have home videos of me singing when I was 2 years old,” Doehring said. “I’ve been singing ever since.” Doehring said she began taking vocal lessons when she was 8 years old and guitar lessons when she was 14. The first song she learned was “Peaceful Easy Feeling” by American rock band, Eagles. Doehring credits her success to her father, James Doehring, who won a silver medal in the 1992 Summer

Olympics in the men’s shot put competition. She said she chose to pursue a career in music with the backing of her father. “He said, ‘Just go for it,’” Doehring said. “He paid for my guitar lessons and told me to stick with it. I feel like the average parent would consider music a hobby, but not my father. He saw my passion for this and said he would help me be the best that I can be.” The Olympian didn’t just encourage her, he taught her to work hard, Doehring said. “My father is very passionate about work ethic,” Doehring said. “He broke his back when he was 18 and he went on to the Olympics. He taught me to work hard. When I see him or other people giving their all, I

find that very inspiring.” With the support of her father and her guitar teacher, Dave Blackburn, Doehring began earning a living through music at the age of 15. A year after her first gig, she released her first album, “Emerge,” writing the majority of the songs. “It was a great timestamp in my career because the songs are a little bit dark,” Doehring said. “It reflected my life as a teen.” Today, Doehring plays at venues each week throughout North County, including at Orfila Winery, Vintana, Fresco Grill & Wine Bar and Pala Mesa Resort. It’s at those gigs that Doehring finds the confidence to keep playing, she said. “The more I play, the more I want to play,”

Doehring said. “The music brings so much joy to people who hear me. I have so many people tell me that a certain song touched them or that they feel connected to me. I’ve never done anything else in my life that has had such an impact on people.” Doehring, who recently became engaged to longtime boyfriend, Brad Kinoshita, said she hopes to continue her music career years from now. “I just know this is what I’m supposed to be doing,” Doehring said. “I never knew I could make a career out of something I love or something I would totally do for free. I get so much joy from it.” For more information about Britt Doehring, go to brittdoehring.com/.

Spiritual master to visit the North County By Bianca Kaplanek

REGION — The only woman to be given the title of jagadguru, or guru of the world, will help people “understand they can be completely loved, accepted, not judged” and “be in the presence of that love” during a three-day event at the Del Mar Hilton beginning Feb. 12. “Wisdom and Enlightenment: A Valentine’s Weekend with Sai Maa” will showcase a fusion of Eastern spiritual wisdom, Western therapeutic knowledge and energy mastery through discussions and question-and-answer sessions. Maa, a spiritual master, healer and humanitarian, will share teachings intended to empower others to discover and cultivate the love, wisdom and radiance inherent within them. “It’s a moment where suddenly your life is being lighted,” she said. How that occurs will depend on each person’s story, she added. “People will tell me what’s happening in their lives, why they feel so threatened right now by what’s going on, why they feel threatened in their relationships, and why things are being so off in their life,” she said. “It can be everyday life questions or spiritual questions,” she added. “It’s all for me the same thing.” Maa said her teachings

During this time she met and became a devoted disciple and humanitarian supporter of Sathya Sai Baba, a spiritual leader and world teacher. Maa later founded the Sai Maa Vishnu Shakti Trust to support her humanitarian work of providing food, clothing, clean water and medical care to children and families and to support widows and orphans in Africa, India and Haiti. Her efforts include the Just One Hunger Initiative, the Cataract Surgery Program and Sai Maa’s Women’s Center and Shelter.

human being.” “I want to wash their pain away, their sorrow away and then for them to experience in their heart the magic of life, the magic of love, the power of love. “Everyone should please know that you are totally loved,” she added. “You are totally accepted and that nothing is wrong with you — nothing — absolutely nothing. If somebody has hurt you please forgive them and come to experience the love of the divine.” That message resonated with Rancho Santa Fe resident Paulette Schneider, who learned of Mai a few years ago after her mother passed away. “I was going to a therapist to deal with my grief,” Schneider said. “It turned out the teachings that she was imparting on me were the teachings of Sai Maa.” Schneider did some research and her curiosity led her to a program offered by Maa. “It just clicked,” Schneider said. “All of us are going through challenges in our life, and that was a challenge of mine. “Sai Maa is such a spiritual master that being in her presence raises your vibration,” she added. “You feel so good just being in her presence because she’s just pure light, and there’s no dark corner where light can’t go.

“Maa has the ability to teach us and give us tools to stay in that state of peace and love and to handle things when life throws things at us. She gives you the practices that help transform you in life so you can live in peace and love instead of angst and worry and fear and regret and jealousy. “Personally my stress has gone down basically to nothing,” she added. “I don’t have worry or fear or angst anymore. I live out of a place of gratitude and love and peace and beauty. “The more you are that, the more you become it,” Schneider said. “It’s just a beautiful experience. … To be able to go through life’s challenges with a peace and grace is a wonderful thing.” Schneider is now a community lead for an Enlightened Living Group, a gathering dedicated to the teachings of Maa that meets every other Thursday at 741 Garden View Court, Suite 208, Encinitas. The cost for Maa’s weekend event ranges from $25 for the introductory evening to $425 for all three days, including a meal on Saturday, with a discounted price for students.

Mice with hantavirus found in North County Officials urge people to try and avoid contact with wild rodents REGION — Two western harvest mice found in south Escondido and Rancho Bernardo have become the first to test positive for hantavirus in San Diego County in 2016. San Diego County environmental health officials said people should remember to protect themselves whenever they find rodents living in their homes, sheds and garages by remembering not to sweep or vacuum and use “wet-cleaning” methods instead if they have to clean up. The mice were collected in routine monitoring by the Department of Environmental Health’s Vector Control Program. Hantavirus can cause deadly infections in hu-

mans and there is no vaccine or cure. However, people have very little chance of being exposed to the virus if they keep wild rodents out of their homes and workplaces. Hantavirus is mainly carried by wild mice. They shed the virus through their saliva, urine and feces. Because of that, if people sweep or vacuum up rodent droppings or nests, they can stir the dried virus up into the air, where they can breathe it in and get infected. Officials said people should try to avoid exposure to wild rodents and, if necessary, use wet-cleaning methods if they have to clean an area where rodents have been. Avoid Exposure to Hantavirus:

President’s Day A Tribute to Washington and Lincoln As we look forward to a three day weekend perhaps planning a family BBQ or short trip, this holiday gives us an opportunity to reflect on the outstanding contributions of two of our greatest presidents. George Washington was the first President of the United States, commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, presiding over the convention that drafted the United States Constitution. Abraham Lincoln led the United States through its Civil War - its bloodiest war and its greatest moral, constitutional and political crisis. Although our country has been blessed with many great presidents over the years, these men led our country at pivotal times & deserve this annual tribute. We are proud to honor them!

When feeling the draft, protecting Rivers is Bolts’ top goal

sports talk jay paris

S

uper Bowl 50 came and went but not without a local impact. The Chargers had to be watching, and we trust Philip Rivers wasn’t closing his eyes. Denver linebacker Von Miller was a blur for most the game, spending as much time in the Panthers backfield as Cam Newton. The Super Bowl 50 MVP had 2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and left Newton mumbling to himself — and the media — in the game’s aftermath. The Broncos were the clear winners, making hay for what was likely Peyton Manning’s last rodeo. The fallout for Denver is worrying about its quarterback situation next season. The takeaway for the Chargers is being concerned on how to protect theirs. Rivers isn’t getting younger, despite his boyish charm and stellar numbers. Rivers enters his 13th season and the clock ticks on what has been an amazing career. The Chargers realize Rivers, 34, probably has three to four solid years left. Manning became the oldest winning Super Bowl quarterback at 39, thanks to his complementary parts. He didn’t claim his second Lombardi Trophy by flinging passes around like he had since his days at Tennessee. But as the Chargers enter their offseason waltz, they can’t forget Miller’s moves. And please, Bolts, remember Oakland’s emerging pass-rushing star in Khalil Mack — same goes for Kansas City, the Chargers’ other AFC West foe. It brings Justin Houston and Tamba Hali, a tandem which upsets quarterbacks more than throwing into the wind with a slippery ball. To extend Rivers’ career, he needs assistance. The chance to do that arrives during the upcoming NFL draft. That was also the Chargers’ goal in the last draft and they failed miserably. The plan was to climb the board, snag Melvin Gordon and let the Heisman Trophy finalist’s running keep Rivers from harm’s way. But Gordon was a flop, and whether you flip that blame on him, the offensive line, coach Mike McCoy or two offensive assistants shown the door, is your call. What isn’t up for debate is Gordon being a square peg in the Char-

gers’ big hole of running the ball. Before Gordon’s season came to a premature end, he didn’t collect a touchdown. And his next 100-yard rushing game will be his first. Here’s how the Chargers strike gold with the draft’s third pick. Snag another wide receiver, especially one with some giddy-up, to take defensive pressure off Keenan Allen? Check, but that’s down the list. Get a sack-master to call their own, one with more bite and consistency than Melvin Ingram and Jerry Attachou? That does make our heart pitter-patter, but that’s No. 2. Instead the Chargers can’t miss on a prospect from Ole Miss: left tackle Laremy Tunsil. Haven’t heard of Mississippi’s Tunsil? That’s good, because if you’re watching a quarterback’s blind side, your name only gets called when disaster strikes. But the Chargers know about Tunsil and you can bet Rivers would love a 6-foot-5, 305-pounder, who allowed but two sacks in 28 games, protecting him. To get Tunsil, the Chargers need a break and they are due, right? The Titans, with the first pick, reach for Ohio State linebacker Joey Bosa. Maybe they think he’s their future Von Miller and let’s hope so. The Browns, after fumbling with Johnny Football, need a quarterback. They pick between Cal’s Jared Goff or North Dakota State’s Carson Wentz. Then the Chargers clear their tonsils and scream, “Tunsil.” Chargers fans would likely shrug, but Rivers will undoubtedly smile. Contact Jay Paris at jparis8@aol.com.

Sports Former NFL kicker opens gym to public By Steve Puterski

CARLSBAD — One North County resident knows what it takes to win a Super Bowl. Having appeared in the big game twice during his 23-year NFL career, retired kicker John Carney is pushing others to reach their potential. The former Chargers legend opened the Carney Training Facility, 6102 Avenida Encinas, Suite G, catering to athletes shooting for their dreams, but now he has opened the doors to the public, too. The public hours run from 6 to 9 p.m. Monday through Friday with workout packages available and $15 for walk-ins. “We’ve had all kinds of athletes in here,” Carney said. “It’s exciting to have athletes outside my specialty. We develop some skill specific drills.” Carney’s newest venture began modestly as more of a way of passing on knowledge, but has grown into something he wasn’t expecting. Originally, Carney, who won the Super Bowl in 2009 with the New Orleans Saints, focused on kickers, punters and long snappers playing in the NFL. He became current New York Giants punter Steve Weatherford’s mentor and picked up fellow NFLers Nick Novak and Nick Folk. Training out of Carney’s garage, the workouts gained in size due to the lockout in 2011 left a number of athletes looking for others to train with, since they were not allowed to enter their team’s facilities. Soon, though, he opened the doors privately to college and high school athletes working toward breaking into the NFL or earning a college scholarship. His clientele expanded and thus decided to open the doors to the public in the evenings, although Carney will spearhead a boot camp on Saturday’s from 7:30 to 9 a.m. “I thought, why not step it up a notch,” Carney said. “Let’s train you during the

offseason, during the season when you’re in town. Let’s push you to be as good as you can be.” The gym is modest in size, but big on pushing the limits. Carney developed numerous workouts and methods for anyone, not just athletes, looking to get fit and test their will. Several of his clients lend their knowledge in the various workouts and navigating machines, free weights, speed training or slamming a monster truck tire with a sledgehammer. In addition, the first workout is free. The gym includes traditional options such as free weights and a treadmill, but

Carney’s philosophy uses other aspects gained from his career as a professional athlete. “We decided that this facility has so many benefits for anybody who wants to train,” he added. “Some of my long-time clients monitor the gym at nights. I posted a whole series of workouts. My monitor would be happy to show them the routine.” One benefit of Carney’s gym, opposed to more traditional facilities, is the unique equipment, he said. Climbing ropes, a cargo net,

jumping apparatuses and a wooden sled are just a taste of what the gym provides. “I suggest to clients who want to burn calories, just don’t go on the elliptical for 45 minutes,” Carney explained. “Go elliptical for 15, a fast-paced walk on an incline on the treadmills, jump on the Stairmaster. You are getting great cardio, but you’re changing up the muscle work.” For information about the Carney Training Facility, visit carneycoaching.com.

While my mother’s penchant for keeping bits and pieces drove my dad and me a little nuts, I was rather grateful that I had a personal tour back through her life. It took me three weeks of reading and sorting, but I enjoyed the journey.

he’s grateful to help others. “Being able to make a difference in people and really reach out and change their lives, even if it’s just for a moment or two, is very rewarding,” said Hahn, who also just happened to meet his wife, Debbi, while on the job. “That’s pretty special and it keeps you going.” More importantly, Hahn

said he wants to make sure he’s able to support his staff so they can make that same type of positive impact in the city. “Within a week of getting the job, I pulled everyone together for a department-wide meeting at City Hall,” Hahn said. “I want to support them in their roles. We’re facing a brighter future.”

Filming for the feature film began on Jan. 25 and will finish Feb. 13. Sheldon said post-production should be completed by April, and then the team will submit the film to festivals across the country and speak to distributors thereafter. In the interim, Sheldon said he’ll work on projects with his wife, Rin, who is also his business partner. The couple owns a Carlsbad-based production company, Stand U 8 Productions. Of all the places he’s been, Sheldon said he is proud to call North County his home. He and his wife, who met while they were students at Indiana University, spent a spring break in San Diego, moved to Encinitas a few years later, and never looked back.

“I love living in Encinitas,” Sheldon said. “We are very fortunate to get to travel the world, but we love the place we call home.” He also loves being able to mentor young aspiring filmmakers in the area. “One of my favorite things in the world is to talk to a classroom full of students,” Sheldon said. “The next student I am speaking with is going to be the next JJ Abrams, the next Steven Spielberg, the next Christopher Nolan. I especially love talking to North County kids and filmmakers. When they send me scripts, I love it. “So, if you’ve got a great story, and characters I can relate to, feel free to hand me a screenplay in Whole Foods and I will read it at some point,” he said.

everybody wants to share their little secrets. “You’ll get a little bit here and there, but I think it’s more fun to experiment yourself,” she said. And as for other women water photographers, there aren’t many in the area that she’s been able to come across too often, she said. She’s had showings at Bird’s Surf Shed, and not long ago was the featured artist of the month at Culture Brewing Company in Solana Beach. Scarski was also the featured photographer during Ladies Night at Shaper’s Studios in North Park. She has two collections in Encinitas on display now at Le Papagayo and at Yoga

Tropics. A few weeks ago, Scarski did have a set back when her new Canon camera and lens were destroyed after her waterhousing began to leak. The housing was full of ocean water and the camera and lens got completely submerged, she said. To help her get back to taking photos, Scarski turned to crowd sourcing and selling prints of her work to raise enough money to get a new camera. In just 11 days, 19 people had contributed enough money on her gofundme.com account to be able to buy a replacement camera and lens. To see her work, visit gidgetbythesea.com.

program is currently provided for four young adults. Sitcov said he sees no limits to the program outside of what funding allows. Sitcov shared information about Doors of Change at the MainStreet Oceanside Morning Meeting on Feb. 2. Those in attendance were moved by the program and its positive impact. Sitcov said business owners and residents could get involved by attending the annual Diamonds and Pearls Presidential Dinner and Gala at Fairbanks Ranch Country Club on April 30, or through direct

donations. The gala includes performances by young men and women in Doors for Change programs. Sitcov said the youth are overwhelmed with the love and support demonstrated by people showing up for the annual fundraiser. Doors of Change is a nonprofit with five paid staff members. Operations are funded through donations, with over 75 percent of monies going directly to programs. For more information email info@doorsofchange. com.

The conversion is expected to be completed in spring 2017.

of the menu along with several other dishes. I’ve had lunch several times recently at Seafire and was never disappointed. The menu will take you to the Mediterranean with standouts that include grilled octopus, saganaki (flaming cheese), nice sized scallops, mussels, rack of lamb and really good gyros. I also love the Greek salad with gyro meat on top. The hummus is delicious and the pita bread served along side it is fresh and warm. I’m a big fan of kabobs and the chicken kabob served with rice, pita and tzatziki and pita bread is a perfect light lunch. Tzatziki is one of my favorite Greek sauces and they make a really good version. For those that are unfamiliar, tzatziki is a sauce served with grilled meats or as a dip and is made of strained yogurt mixed with cucumbers, garlic, salt, olive oil, red wine vinegar, and sometimes dill. There is a nice selection of Greek staples including spanakopita, dolmas, meat pies, lamb loin chops and baklava. Seafood options are plentiful as well with a daily fresh catch, grilled white bass, crispy skin salmon, and a whole sea bass. The menu also ventures off into several pasta selections with an interesting looking rigatoni with a lamb merguez, spinach,

roasted tomato and dalmatia tapenade. As mentioned there is a nice wood fired oven that produces some tasty pizzas including Margarita, Greek, Artichoke, Mediterranean, salami and seafood. A soup of the day is offered along with their special house made butternut squash soup with balsamic reduction and hazelnut oil. It’s a great looking space and Seafire’s full indoor/outdoor bar features 14 local craft beers on draft, a variety of wines from California and Greece as well as specialty cocktails. There is a lively after work bar scene going on and keeping with the tradition of live music, Seafire features local musicians Tuesday - Saturday nights. They offer full catering services available for events of any size and it’s a great place to bring the office for a lunch or after work dinner. Seafire Restaurant + Bar is located at 6030 Paseo Del Norte, Carlsbad, 92011 (760) 603-9672 or seafirerestaurantandbar. com.

No Mello Roos at The Vineyard in Temecula TEMECULA — As homebuyers shop for a new home, the home’s sales price and monthly payment are just one factor to affordability and value; however, additional out of pock monthly expenses like taxes and Mello Roos assessments can affect qualifying and overall affordability. At Van Daele Homes’ The Vineyard in Temecula, there are no Mello Roos assessments and property taxes are far lower than other surrounding areas, which equates to more buying power at The Vineyard by Van Daele Homes. To visit The Vineyard by Van Daele, take Interstate 15 and exit at Rancho California Road and travel east. Turn left on Butterfield Stage Road, left on La Serena Way, then right on Walcott Lane and follow signs to the models.

STUDENTS CONTINUED FROM 6

Switzerland, in 1968, the IB organization works with about 4,200 schools in 147 countries and has more than 1.2 million students in the program. Vista High School and Rancho Buena Vista High School offer the IB Diploma Programme for students aged 16 to 18; Vista Magnet offers the Middle Years Programme for all of its students; and Vista Academy (VAPA), and Casita Center for Science, Technology and Math are candidate schools in the process of being certified for the Primary Years Programme for children through fifth grade. Although their certification is pending, VAPA and Casita already offer the IB curriculum, which emphasizes critical thinking, creativity and a global outlook. “A lot of the teachers are beginning to teach according to the IB model in those schools, so they’re creating units of study that align to the way IB is taught,” Kim said. Vista High School also is in the process of being certified to offer the last two years of the Middle Years Programme for freshmen and sophomores, which would make Vista Unified one of the few school districts in California to offer IB programs from kindergarten through high school, said Pat Prather, executive director of the California Association of IB World Schools. Prather, who started the IB program in Vista Unified, said, “It really give the kids an incomparable education, and not just in one area. They have to become proficient in all areas.” “The IB helps kids understand it’s a big world out there,” Prather said. “They look at different languages, different cultures.” The IB curriculum is demanding. Students must learn a second language and they have more homework and writing, with subjects like math, science and literature blended together rather than being taught in separate blocks. At VAPA, for example, students might learn math concepts through music and art, said Assistant Principal Benjie Walker. “They might be learning their numbers and letters through dance,” Walk-

er said. Casita Center fourth-graders Francisco Garcia and Trevor Acheff proudly displayed bat boxes they made as part of a school project to dispel misconceptions people have about the furry creatures. “Misconceptions can be changed with knowledge,” Trevor said, as he and Francisco explained that the bat boxes, which looked something like oldstyle apartment building mail boxes, showed the kind of places bats might like to live. Along with the bat boxes, Francisco and Trevor posted sketches they made of bats and essays they wrote on bats, combining skills they learned in science, art and writing. “A lot of times, students have difficulty finding the relevance of what they’re learning in class,” Kim said. “IB shows students how what they’re doing in math relates to what they’re doing in history.” IB students also must look beyond their schools to take action that benefits the greater community. “These are students who aren’t just learning content, but they’re building empathy for communities outside their own,” Kim said. At Rancho Buena Vista High School, for example, students organized a Special Olympics. Although the IB approach is challenging, it’s meant for all students, not just those who excel, Kim said. “Students develop certain habits of mind that allow them to be more persistent, that allow them to be more critical thinkers within the classroom,” Kim said. “It prepares students for the rigors of college. It helps them think critically. It teaches them to write. It teaches them to really articulate their views.” Michael Pink, IB director at Vista High School, said students who complete the IB Diploma Programme are better prepared for college more likely to graduate college than those who don’t. Kim said IB gives students skills that carry through to college and careers. “It’s pretty clear that kids who go through and IB education are better at writing and communicating,” Kim said. “They’re students who are problem solvers.”
