No one has ever even attempted embryo transfer in a rhino species yet. It’s this whole new area of investigation for us.” Poaching, meanwhile, remains the source of threat to animals, with most of the demand for rhi-

ESCONDIDO — The City Council approved a $2.1 million loan to Solutions for Change on Wednesday to provide housing for low-income and abused residents. The Vista-based company has acquired the remaining funds to revamp its newly acquired property at 1560 Escondido Blvd. According to Director of Community Development Jay Petrek’s report, the project will be affordable to households earning less than 80 percent of the area median income. The council also approved the property to be designated mix-used as 33 residential units with 1,175 square-feet of office space. Plans for the three-story L-shaped building include a main office and community center facing Escondido Boulevard, while a long stretch of units is reserved for housing. The Planning Commission approved the measure on Oct. 13. Cost for the project is estimated at $12.1 million as Solutions for Change received nearly $7 million in tax credits plus addition grants along with the city’s contribution. Solutions for Change Project Manager William Leach said the company expects to begin construction by March 2016. Mayor Sam Abed applauded the efforts of Solutions for Change, which has developed several projects in Vista and Carlsbad. “Solutions for Change is creating a successful model,” he added. “They are helping the homeless and those in extreme poverty.” As for the homes, 22 are 800 square-feet and 11 at 1,010 square-feet. In addition, two structures will be demol-

Park endeavors to restore near extinct rhinos By Steve Puterski

ESCONDIDO — The fight to return a near extinct rhino is unfolding at the San Diego Zoo Safari Park. Last week, San Diego Zoo Safari Park, Kenyan conservancy and state officials detailed a collaboration effort using science to return the northern white rhino to prominence. California State Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins also spoke about her efforts in leading to the passage of AB 96, which bans the sale of rhino horns and ivory in the state. “For the northern white rhino, it’s been a disaster,” she said. “California is making a difference in this fight for survival by closing this loophole. We are getting calls from other states now. We want to make sure we close this loophole everywhere in the country.” Massive poaching problems in Africa have led to the near extinction of the rhino as well as a 60 percent drop in Tanzania’s elephant population in the last four years, according to Ricahed Vigne, CEO of Ol Pejeta Conservancy in Kenya. The northern white rhino, meanwhile, is on the brink of extinction, as only four animals remain worldwide. One of those is Nola, a 41-year-old female, who resides at the Escondido park. The other three, one male and two females, live at Ol Pejeta. Northern white rhinos became extinct in the wild in 2008. “If we allow a species down to the last four, the recovery is going to be really difficult,” Vigne said. “There is no guarantee of success, but the fact of the matter it has been started. The fact that San Diego is leading the charge … is something that gives us enormous hope.” In addition, the park also added six female southern white rhinos on Nov. 6.

It is a massive undertaking and the science is incredibly complex, according to Director of Genetics Dr. Oliver Ryder and Reproductive Physiologist Dr. Barbara Durant. The first of many challenges is the lone male rhino cannot reproduce, so scientists at the Safari Park are using tissue collected from 12 samples, nine of which are unrelated, to jumpstart the effort. “In the frozen zoo, we have living viable cells,” Ryder said. “They provide a resource that we believe will be large enough to accomplish something never done before. We will have to turn those cells into animals.”

The procedure, which scientists will create stem cells and ultimately semen and eggs, has been tested successfully on mice, but rhinos are a much larger endeavor. Adding to the complexities, the process used on mice has never been attempted with rhinos, let alone using a different species (the southern white) as a surrogate. However, Durant said the two rhino breeds are very close in their genetic material, which will increase the program’s chances of success. The biggest obstacle is developing techniques for creating the semen, eggs and tools needed to

Escondido students take virtual field trips around the world By Steve Puterski

ESCONDIDO — Students at Rincon Middle School went global on Tuesday. The middle schoolers took part in the Google’s Expeditions Pioneer Pilot Program. Using the Google Cardboard device, a cellphone encased in cardboard, the students use an app specifically designed for educational purposes to take them on a virtual tour of historical world landmarks. “Too often, kids don’t get the opportunity to go on field trips,” said Google Expeditions Program Manager Jen Holland. “Teachers can teleport their students to these places. Also, it brings these abstract lessons to life.” Google’s one-day program has chosen select schools in the U.S., United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Brazil, Singapore and Denmark. For RMS, though, the Escondido school was selected after sixth-grade humanities teacher Chris-

The school was able to coax Google into supplying enough devices for each social studies/humanities classes so each of the 1,225 students could participate. “These are places that

and not just words on a page. As for the students’ reaction, the first time a new location was introduced, a chorus of “ohhhs” and “ahhhs” filled the air. “This is exciting for us,” Ibarra said. “I see students fully engaged and they are going places around the world. It brings social studies to life. When you see this level of engagement, it brings a whole new level to it.” Working the device, meanwhile, is simple. A student places the cardboard, which has two eyeholes cut out to see the phone, over their face like glasses. From there, the teacher has a tablet, which is connected to a wireless Internet network, and can tap the destination. On the tablet’s screen, a series of smiley faces show the teacher all the students “on site.” In addition, the view is in 2-D and 3-D as Google’s team scoured the globe using 16 GoPro cameras to capture every angle possible of the destinations. “It’s a collection of a virtual reality pyramid,” Holland said. “We’ve built this, really, with the school and classroom in mind. For us, it really needed to be a seamless experience and we also didn’t want to rely on Internet constraints that schools may have.” In Kevin Hemingway’s sixth-grade class, where Hansen joined in assisting, students visited Aztec sites in Mexico such as Chichen Itza, the famous city of Teotihuacan and Teotenago Aztec ruins in New Mexico. Students also visited places such as the Coliseum in Rome, underwater adventures in the Galapagos Islands and Caribbean and even a trip to Mars. “It makes it feel like you are there and it’s a stronger reaction,” Hansen said. As for the devices, RMS will not keep the ones used Tuesday, although Hansen, Crooks and Ibarra said they will discuss the availability with Google about securing the new tools in the coming months. “That would be so great about having just a class set for the schools because of the timeliness of it,” Crooks added. As for Google, the San Francisco-based tech company began developing what would evolve into Expeditions last year, Holland said. Coding began in January and the first pilot program started in several countries in March. In September, Google expanded the program leading to Hansen’s application. As for the future availability to schools, Holland said more data is needed before the company decides to allow sales to schools and districts. “We’ll really see later in the school year,” she added.

Palomar College board closes search for position College community By Aaron Burgin

SAN MARCOS — The Palomar College Governing Board released a statement on Thursday saying the board has taken an action item to close its search for the new superintendent/president position. In closing the search, the board unanimously agreed to close the current search process and re-open with a new search in the near future, the statement read. The five-member board

was deciding between Lynn Neault and Gregory Anderson, who emerged as the finalists to replace longtime president Robert P. Deegan, who retired in June. The nearly yearlong job search attracted nearly 100 candidates across the country. The Nov. 17 board member included one item: a closed session discussion on public employment, president/superintendent. Board members inter-

viewed the candidates two weeks ago, and also have the transcripts of the public question-and-answer sessions each candidate had on Nov. 6, (see related story at right) during which Neault and Anderson fielded questions from nearly 70 people. At the event, Neault, a vice chancellor with the San Diego Community College District, touted her experience, local and statewide educational connections and her personal life experience as a

single mother — which she says mirrors the experience of many within Palomar’s student body — while Anderson, the vice president of instruction at Canada College in Redwood City, highlighted his diverse background as both a teacher and administrator, his world travels and his commitment to diversity. Adrian Gonzales, who has been filling the position on an interim basis, will continue in that role while the search continues.

Sheriff’s seeking help to ID human remains By Steve Puterski

ESCONDIDO — A month-old death investigation at Lake Hodges has left county investigators puzzled. In fact, the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department is asking for public assistance to identify a female victim found near the lake on Oct. 17. The county medical examiner’s office believes the remains found are either a Hispanic or African-American between 25 to 35 years old and 5-foot-3 inches to 5-foot-4-inches in height, according to a recent press release. Deputies responded to a resident report of suspicious circumstances in the 19900 block of Lake Drive last month. Homicide Detail Lt. Kenn Nelson of the Sheriff’s department said the body was discovered in a thick patch of reeds on the shoreline. “We are trying to find out who this person is, and that will be the jumping point for our investigation,” Nelson said. “Any time human remains are found, the Homicide Unit will be charged with the investigation because at this point, we don’t know if she is a victim of foul play or if she died of

CSUSM will host AIDS Memorial quilt By Aaron Burgin

SAN MARCOS — Cal State San Marcos will host a section of the internationally renowned AIDS Memorial Quilt from Nov. 20 to Dec. 18, which coincides with the celebration of World AIDS Day Dec. 1. The quilt will be on view at the University Student Union on the third floor bridge from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. during that period. Additionally, CSU San Marcos will hold “A Quilt of Poetry: World AIDS Day Candlelight Vigil” at 6 p.m. Dec. 1 in the student union amphitheater. At 54 tons, the NAMES Project AIDS Memorial Quilt, the complete name of the public art, is the largest piece of community folk art in the world as of 2010. It consists of 48,000 individual panels that commemorate nearly 100,000 people who have died from the AIDS virus.

natural causes, an accident or it could be a suicide.” The victim was found wearing a distinctive ring along with a pair of shorts (reptile pattern) and a San Diego Padres jersey. Nelson said no other unique jewelry or clothes were found with the body. After conducting an

autopsy, the medical examiner’s officer believes the woman died approximately one month before the discovery, although no cause of death has been reported. Nelson said the investigation is ongoing, but without an ID it has been difficult to center on a theory of how the woman died.

“Since we’ve put it out, we’ve had multiple tips and we are vetting those,” he explained. “Really, it’s going to come down to identifying the person first and then following up to see if there was any foul play or any other situation.” He said mostly bones were discovered because of decomposition, so a fingerprint ID was not an option. Instead, authorities are attempting to identify the victim through dental records and DNA. However, both scenarios will be difficult for detectives to pinpoint the woman’s identity. A DNA match would require the victim’s genetic material to be on file with state or federal records. “If we are able to identify her quickly, then it could take several weeks,” Nelson said. “If not, it could be several months down the road.” Anyone with information is urged to call the Homicide Detail at (858) 974-2321 during business hours or (888) 580-8477 after hours. In addition, anyone with knowledge or tips of the woman’s death can also call Crime Stoppers at (619) 235-8477. Tips leading to an arrest can earn up to a $1,000 reward.

quizzes presidential finalist candidates By Aaron Burgin

SAN MARCOS — The two finalists for Palomar College’s president/ superintendent position were under the spotlight on Nov. 6, answering a series of questions from faculty, students administrators and other stakeholders at a pair of public forums. About 65 people attended each of the forums, which were aimed at giving the public an opportunity to learn more about Lynn Neault and Gregory Anderson, who emerged as finalists of a nearly yearlong job search that attracted nearly 100 candidates across the country. Neault, a vice chancellor with the San Diego Community College District, touted her experience, local and statewide educational connections and her personal life experience as a single mother — which she says mirrors the experience of many within Palomar’s student body — while Anderson, the vice president of instruction at Canada College in Redwood City, highlighted his diverse background as both a teacher and administrator, his world travels and his commitment to diversity. Each took the stage for an hour and fielded questions submitted by audience members and read by Mike Popielski, the school’s interim vice president of human resource services. Each candidate was also able to give a brief opening and closing statement. More than 40 questions were submitted, Popielski said. The candidates were each able to answer about 15 of them. Neault, who served briefly as interim president of San Diego City College, was able to highlight her grasp on the local issues in several of her answers. For example, both candidates were asked how they would boost enrollment in the southern edge of Palomar’s district. While Anderson cited cyclical factors such as the economy and statewide declines in enrollment, Neault took aim at nearby Miramar College, which has been making inroads with students in Palomar’s southern edge. Neault said part of the solution was making Palomar’s southern Mt. Carmel Educational Center a more palatable draw to students in the area. “For the life of me I can’t see why your enrollment is down,” Neault said. In regards to her commitment to diversity, which was asked in several questions to both candidates, Neault cited

her experience as interim president, during which time she hired 32 faculty m e mb e r s that she said represented the students in various ways. “ I f you are in this busi ness, you need Lynn Neault to embrace div e r s it y,” she said. “W hen I was at City, we had the opportunity to shape the future of the college. Gregory As presAnderson id e n t , diversity needs to be the culture at the college.” Anderson, who put his energy on display throughout the forum, repeatedly cited his openness and accessibility as strengths, going as far as to recite his cell phone number and urging the audience to call him personally if their questions weren’t answered. He said that he believed the college is at a major crossroads, entering the twilight of its historic building campaign under Proposition M building campaign, which began in 2006 when voters approved the nearly $700 million construction bond. “I strongly believe that Palomar College should be the destination college for San Diego County, and it’s not quite there yet,” Anderson said. “I am convinced with work..we will get there.” Part of that, he said, would be through improved marketing of the college, which he said he was able to do directly when supervising his current college’s public information officer. “We got to be on (social media) all of the time,” Anderson said. “I will be available and ready to engage the community.” People in attendance said they were impressed with both candidates, which they said should be able to usher Palomar College into the next stage of its history. “They both have very different skill sets; one has that faculty experience versus someone who has more of an administrative take on the college,” said Genevieve Mason, a third-year student and student ambassador. “The trustees have a difficult choice.”

A Carlsbad Fairy Tale

By Richard Riehl

Firefighting doubletalk: More fodder for government distrust California Focus By Thomas D. Elias

any Californians now deeply distrust state government, and with good reason. Start with the Public Utilities Commission, proven to have decided multi-billion-dollar rate cases after lengthy private contacts and email exchanges between commissioners, their staff and utility executives. Then there’s the state Energy Commission, which handed tens of millions of dollars in “hydrogen highway” grants to a commission consultant who two years ago drew the map of where that money was to be spent, then resigned and formed a company which three months later applied for and got most of the available money. No member of either commission has been punished for this cronyism and favoritism. Nor have their procedures changed significantly. Now comes the state Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, caught in what’s doubletalk at a minimum on whether or not it has for years put violent criminals into situations where they could escape with ease if they chose. More than 1,400 such prisoners today work on firefighting crews sometimes overseen by officials of the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CalFire) rather than prison guards. The current type of “trusty” prisoner has produced an average of nine escapes per year over the last five years, all but one inmate escapee recaptured fairly quickly. The subject arises because last year’s Proposition 47 converted many drug violations and some other crimes from felonies to mis-

demeanors, cutting the number of non-violent criminals available for firefighting. The measure also allowed many former drug-related felons to resume normal lives unplagued by convictions that once put many jobs and other opportunities beyond their reach. Prison rules long stated that only non-violent criminals could be sent outside prison walls to fight fires. But no more. The change came to light after public opposition killed a corrections department plan to extend from five years to seven the remaining time allowable for sentences of criminals on firefighting crews. For sure, in this so-far extremely destructive fire season, work done by teams of convicts has been essential. But it turned out prison officials were untruthful for years about who was on those teams. Their website said no violent prisoner could serve on the crews. In pulling back their proposal this fall, department officials let slip the fact that they have long used inmates whose crimes are legally defined as violent. “Not all violent offenses represent violent behavior by the individual,” Corrections Secretary Jeffrey Beard told a reporter in a classic example of bureaucratic doubletalk. An example of what he meant, he said, was that robberies involving a mere threat of violence are different from those where victims are physically assaulted. Never mind psychological or emotional violence from being threatened, sometimes at gunpoint. It turned out the department’s website long said members of fire crews “must have no history of violent crimes.” This passage is now excised, and the department reported last month that 1,441

out of 3,732 inmates then in fire camps were convicted of crimes legally defined as violent. Only doublethink could allow those convicts to be considered non-violent. Prison system spokesman Bill Sessa insists they may once have been violent, but aren’t anymore. “Having that on our website was a mistake, not an attempt to deceive,” he said. “We look at the very specific circumstances of every inmate before anyone is even allowed to be trained for this.” Even with the violent criminals, the number of convict firefighters is far down from previous levels of about 4,400, mostly because of a combination of Proposition 47 and prison realignment, which sees many inmates paroled or remanded to county jails in their home areas. Lowering the prison populace by tens of thousands over just two years created a manpower shortage. Nevertheless, said Sessa, “It would be ludicrous for us to put a dangerous inmate in that situation.” The prison system admitted to the Associated Press that inmate firefighters committed hundreds of assaults and batteries, indecent exposures and other crimes over the past 10 years, but later insisted all those incidents were in fire camps, not in surrounding communities or on active fire lines. Still, the corrections department’s “mistake” in leaving the “no violent criminals” pledge on its website for years after it was no longer in force renders its word unreliable.This makes at least three demonstrably untrustworthy major state agencies. Should anyone trust the others?

Once upon a time, in the land of pink-tiled roofs, the clueless King Hallmat of the Village-by-the-Sea was troubled as he sat on his throne. The Little People were at the castle gates, carrying torches and pitchforks, chanting, “Down with the king! Down with the king!” His subjects were angry because he brought to the village the slippery Sir Caresnot, the black knight of Tinsel Gridloc, the largest kingdom in the land, 1,000 furlongs to the north. A stonemason by trade, the black knight was known for despoiling one-of-a-kind villages with identical temple squares honoring Plutus, the god of wealth. His grandest, The Grovel at Tinsel Gridloc, brought streams of carriage traffic from beyond what the eye could see. Sir Caresnot’s growing homage to Plutus rewarded him handsomely. His fortune of one billion gold coins was built atop a generous inheritance from his father, Sir Ornery of Gridloc, once sent to the dungeon for a year as punishment for lying to buyers of the carriages he sold them. The black knight had evidently inherited more than gold from his father. Sir Caresnot rubbed his hands together and smiled

to “help save the ground on which their precious berries made of straw were grown.” He’d promise they could find out more about his plan and speak up about it before he would go near their protected land. Sir Caresnot’s falsehood went unchallenged by King Hallmat and his Dim Knights. They were so smitten with his promises they didn’t bother to find out how he planned to keep them. But what everyone failed to foresee was the rising up of the Little People who, after discovering they’d been tricked, demanded that the King and his beknighted underlings allow all villagers to speak their minds for or against Sir Caresnot’s devious plan. And speak they did. The black knight was banished from the Village-by-the-Sea. He returned to Tinsel Gridloc, where he was welcomed home with open arms. And so it came to pass that the happiest rulers in the land of pink-tiled roofs found themselves out of work. The Little People found less jolly, but much wiser, rulers who helped them keep the beauty of their protected land the truly right way...so they could live happily ever after. Richard Riehl is a Carlsbad resident.

Letters to the Editor Cost of doing the city business I have not fully participated in the many opportunities to give my input in the City Hall project, but after reading the staff report for the City Hall project budget, I have to give the following opinions: 1. Do we need all that is included in the proposed plan? I don’t think so. In 1959, when the city was born, the city business was carried out in one room in the old Del Mar Hotel, and the city business got done! 2. That location was followed by an office above

the 7-Eleven, then, where Rusty’s is today, and the city business got done. 3. Like all the property owned by the city today, I believe it was acquired, not because we needed it to do the city business, but because it was for sale — the Powerhouse Park, the Shores Elementary School site, the entire block of the existing Catholic Elementary school site, the Catholic Church site — did we really need them, or could the city business get done without them? 4. The council is considering the budget for the

new City Hall at a projected cost of $17.9 million! You and I are going to have to pay for it, and that is way more than I think we need to do the city business! 5. Do we really need a catering kitchen to handle up to 250 people — who and for what? 6. If you think, as I do, that $18 million is more than we need to spend for facilities to do the city business in, then let the City Council know at cityhall@ delmar.ca.us. Ralph Peck, Del Mar

at the thought of visiting the sleepy little Village By The Sea. He knew its Little People were ruled by King Hallmat the Clueless and his Dim Knights of the Rectangle, known as the happiest rulers in the land because they always agreed with one another on the answer to every question brought before them. Sadly, as if by habit, upon every opportunity the Little People pledged their loyalty to their self-satisfied superiors. Sir Caresnot wanted to build his temple to Plutus on land the Little People set aside for its scenic splendor. To do so he would have to woo the King and his Dim Knights, while hiding the truth from the Little People that his temple square would destroy forever the beauty of the land they loved. The black knight knew it would be easy to gain the friendship of the village rulers. He’d simply show them how his temple would bring great wealth to the village without costing them a single gold coin. But he also knew it would take more cunning to win over the Little People. He would have to dress wolves in sheep’s clothing and send them from cottage to cottage to ask the villagers

Vista Adobe in need of repairs before El Niño By Dean Patterson

VISTA — Discovery and exploration of North County leads to many hidden historical gems and the Rancho Minerva Adobe building, home to the Vista Historical Society and Museum, is no exception. Started back in 1911 when the area was a sparse Vista, pioneers Nick and Bessie Huntalas established an agricultural ranch on a 420acre parcel when you could still buy vast tracks of land in the San Diego area — hard to imagine. The project culminated into a 3,400-square-foot, two-story adobe ranch-style house and was completed in 1934. Excavation of the home’s basement/cellar provided the necessary building ingredients including soil and organic materials such as sand, silt, clay and straw combined with water. The materials were mixed to create a workable consistency similar to thick pancake batter, poured and precisely molded into wooden brick-shaped frameworks. These were then sun baked to fashion one of the earliest building materials throughout the earth, the adobe brick. The structural walls are 14 inches thick, the floorboards chopped and milled into wooden slats and architecturally, the building resembles a Spanish hacienda. Originally it had no running water or electricity. Cooking was done on a potbellied wood burning stove

in the kitchen, which also delivered household heating, and illumination came from a fuel lantern. Access to the property back then was one way via a dirt road and the nearest neighbors lived an astonishing two miles away. Agricultural production in the home’s early years was labor-intensive, backbreaking work that produced beautiful and California renowned avocados, oranges, lemons and innumerable vegetables. Back then these crops fueled the local economy much as California agriculture does today. Visiting the site nowadays you’ll find a two-story abode with a sparkling white stucco exterior counterbalanced by a red tiled roof and well-manicured green lawn.

HOT TAMALES

Surveying our water supply future

ESCONDIDO — Tamales, one of the world’s earliest forms of portable food, were the center of attention on Saturday at the Escondido Tamale Festival at Grape Day Park. Wrapped and steamed inside a corn husk the corn dough, typically filled with meats, food has been dated back to 7000 B.C. The Escondido Downtown Business Association hosted the event, which also celebrated the history and culture of the Mexican and Spanish settlers that have helped shape the community.

t took a herculean effort to import fresh water to San Diego County in the early 20th century. If past is prologue, we may soon find ourselves needing to channel that same spirit of ingenuity and ambition. Last week, I participated in a Colorado River Aqueduct System Inspection Trip, paid for by the Metropolitan Water District of Southern California and co-hosted by the San Diego County Water Authority. It was an eye-opening experience to learn first-hand how our region gets a large share of its water. The two-day excursion took me, along with about 30 other participants from San Diego and Orange Counties, from the Whitsett Intake Pumping Plant on Lake Havasu, where Colorado River water is first pumped up into the Aqueduct, to the Diamond Valley Lake in Hemet, which is the largest reservoir in the distribution system. Along the way, Aqueduct staff and water policy experts were available to answer questions and explain the dynamics and history of importing water to Southern California. It was hard not to be impressed by the Aqueduct — it’s a 242-mile technological wonder built in the middle of the desert during the Depression. And it still works. Construction on the Colorado River Aqueduct began in 1933, and began its first water deliveries by 1941. The system was built with expandable capacity to adjust for future, larger deliveries. Tunnels, pipelines, siphons and open canals all interconnect across state lines, under moun-

tains, and through barren valleys. The Aqueduct has a capacity of delivering 1.3 million acre feet of water annually, and now serves approximately 19 million residents throughout the Metropolitan Water District. The Aqueduct is a critical source of water for San Diego; the San Diego County Water Authority, which serves our region, imports roughly 80 percent of our regional water supply, of which the Colorado River makes up the largest share. We also depend on recycled water, groundwater, and local surface water for our regional supply. Under our historic drought conditions however, the need to diversify our water portfolio has grown, and innovative solutions will bring us closer to a sustainable water supply. The Carlsbad desalination plant will be online later this year, and interest in expanding the “purple pipe” network of recycled, non-potable water in North County has grown. The U.S. Marine Corps are currently evaluating the potential for a desal plant located at Camp Pendleton. Reclaiming more of our discharged treated wastewater from the Pacific Ocean is also now technologically possible. In 2014, the city of San Diego unanimously approved the indirect use of potable, purified wastewater for the city water supply. Direct use is also another tool in our solution tool belt. If North County is to secure its water supply through historic drought conditions, it will require us to embrace visionary and controversial solutions. Such steps would be following those of our forefathers, whose political will and sheer determination secured drinking water for North County generations ago.

Survey reveals Ranch prefers roundabouts By Christina Macone-Greene did not require a vote per ent.”

RANCHO SANTA FE — A Nov. 5 meeting at the Rancho Santa Fe Association revealed its recent community-wide survey results which indicated that 73 percent of property owners prefer roundabouts over traffic signals along the Paseo Delicias intersections of Via de la Valle, El Montevideo/ La Valle Plateada, and El Camino del Norte. According to the Association, a total of 1,937 surveys were sent out and 1,124 were returned. Calculations specified that 817 voters favored roundabouts while 272 desired traffic signals. Association manager Bill Overton discussed the survey results at the meeting. He reiterated that technically, the issue of deciding between traffic signals and roundabouts

Overton pointed out that many were concerned that there would not be a good response. “A 58 percent return rate is an exceptional response to the survey,” he said. “I realize there’s still high passions about this issue in the community and very much respect that.” Overton said he felt the survey process was well run and managed. “Again, I understand not all fully agree with that, but I accept that,” he said.

Overton went on to say that he stood by the voice of community. He believed the results were strong enough to proceed with a recommendation to inform the county about the survey’s response to roundabouts. Overton told the board and attendees that he was under the impression that the county’s general preference was to have Covenant members decide. “So we want to pass the results along,” he said, describing them as compelling. Heather Slosar, vice president of the Association, added that something to keep in mind was that the survey was a recommendation from the Association to the county.

is an essential, life-giving substance in our household. We call for it in our recipes all the time. In fact, I’m pretty sure it would be impossible to flip a few pages of the book without seeing butter in an ingredient line (although the Beverages and Frozen Desserts chapters probably have a solid dozen pages that are butter-free). Butter is great. We use the word ‘butter’ over 1,500 times in the latest edition, published 2006. Oh, and our recipe for Baked Stuffed Heart is on page 520.” So there you are. “Joy” has brought tradition into the 21st century. They even released an IOS app last year.

I swiftly received a polite but firm email from John Becker, editor and great-grandson of Edith Rombauer, the book’s original author. (Frankly, I was tickled he had even encountered my column.) In my original column (from 1997), I was whining, having heard the book was going healthy, doing away with some of its older selections and, horror of horrors, replacing butter in many recipes. I insisted this was a bad idea. It turns out they agree.

Center in Vista offers safe weight-loss success

Gigabits galore at Escondido library ESCONDIDO — Escondido Public Library has upgraded bandwidth for its public computers to run at 1 gbps (gigabits per second) thanks to a statewide initiative aimed at connecting public libraries to the California Research and Education Network (CalREN), a 3,800-mile fiber-based high-speed broadband network.  This advancement in broadband access was made possible with the award of a $30,000 grant from the California State Library, and connection through The Corporation for Education Network Initiatives in Cal-

ifornia. Support was also received from the Califa Library Group, the Southern California Library Cooperative, as project aggregators, and Escondido Public Library’s board of trustees. This funding enabled the Escondido Public Library to procure the equipment to upgrade its infrastructure for public internet bandwidth, which makes the leap from 50 mbps to 1 gbps. As State Librarian of California, Greg Lucas, said “Better bandwidth allows public libraries to truly be community information hubs, connecting

the more than 21 million Californians with library cards to the essential online resources necessary for 21st century digital citizenship.” This improvement in bandwidth allows Escondido Public Library to provide an improved online experience for users, enabling them to participate in recreational, educational and occupational opportunities. For further information on the statewide public library broadband initiative, visit cenic.org/network/ BroadbandLibraries, call (760) 839-4329 or visit library.escondido.org.

Celebrate Christmas with Bethlehem walk ESCONDIDO — The First United Methodist Church of Escondido will again host its holiday tradition of Bethlehem Walk from Dec. 11 to Dec. 13 starting at 341 S. Kalmia St. The church’s Bethlehem Walk is set in the time of Caesar Augustus, the Roman Emperor who decreed that a census be taken, setting in motion the events leading to the birth of Jesus Christ in Bethlehem and the celebration of Christmas. Upon entering the lively city, the thousands of visitors that come to Bethlehem Walk each year embark on a guided tour through staged, open areas of the church grounds. With live artisans, animals, merchants, prophets and Roman soldiers, visitors become part of the nativity story, as they make their way through bustling streets to the inn

and, finally, to a real, newborn baby kept warm in a manager. During the three-night production, Joseph, Mary, baby Jesus, as well as every member of Bethlehem Walk, are played by an all-volunteer cast. Each year, in the shared message of Christmas, members of different congregations of local churches, come together to plan, develop,

construct and deliver the town of Bethlehem as it was thousands of years ago. Bethlehem Walk tours begin every five minutes 5:30 to 8:55 p.m. Dec. 11, 4 to 8:25 p.m. Dec. 12 and 4 to 7:55 p.m. Dec. 13. Beginning Nov. 30, reservations with a party’s preferred date and time of a tour can be made by email to bethlehemwalk@ fumcesc.com.

this is such a great fit for him. He is a first generation American as his family emigrated from Croatia in the 1970s. They were restaurateurs in Arizona and owned a family restaurant called the Adriatic where Doug got his first experience in the culinary world.

His first move when he left home was to Encinitas then to Kona, Hawaii. He fell in love with the amazing cuisines, culture and beauty of the Island and immersed himself in the restaurant scene there and was inspired by the likes of Chef Alan Wong and Roy Yamaguchi.

As the restaurant world goes, he was offered a job as executive chef of a new project on Princeville, Kauai at Hanalei Bay Resort but the restaurant caught fire in 2011 and still has never opened. While in Kauai for that gig, he ended up working for a luxury vacation company, called Pure Kauai, as a private chef for the rich and famous and has some great stories from that job.

ENCINITAS — The more Ty Schmitt played football, the more serious he became about the sport — always in the weight room and constantly eating to put on pounds enough to compete with the bigger players. “It kind of takes over your life in a sense,” Schmitt said. “It defines you as a person.” Having started playing as a young child, Schmitt didn’t really know anything different from it. As he progressed through high school the game took over more of his focus. He’d had thoughts of playing linebacker for whichever college would have him. But, instead, Schmitt received several offers from colleges, including San Diego State University, to become a long snapper. Schmitt seized the opportunity to leave his hometown of Phoenix, Ariz., and come to San Diego. As an Aztec, Schmitt never missed a game and his skills as a long snapper were being touted as “irreplaceable.” Despite his skills, there were naysayers though, telling him he wouldn’t be drafted by an NFL team — that long snappers never get drafted. Those messages only served as motivation for him and come the 2008 NFL draft, Schmitt was chosen 23rd in the sixth round (189th overall). At that time, it was the highest a long snapper had ever been selected in the draft and was the first time the Seahawks drafted that

back, which would require multiple surgeries to fix. He spent his entire rookie season on the team’s injury reserve list. Even after his first rehab effort, Schmitt wasn’t able to gain the weight back he needed to perform in the league.

SCHMITT

CONTINUED FROM A11

he knew his window was gone. “After two more surgeries, I said, ‘this is a sign. This is it,’” he said. He never got to start or appear in an NFL game. That would leave Schmitt in a bad way, falling into a deep depression and a time period where everything just went wrong for him, he said. It was a loss of identity, he explained, the end of a relationship with his girlfriend at the time, and the hurting both physically and emotionally, that created the perfect storm. Schmitt had no backup plan to a life without football. But after just one fivehour session with a hypnotherapist in Scottsdale, Ariz., Schmitt began finding a way to right the ship. He described the session as a delving deep within himself to find what it was he truly wanted to do with his life. “I was open to everything, and that’s when I found landscape photography,” Schmitt said. “It just popped at me and I didn’t second guess it. I just trusted it. And ever since that day, I picked up a camera and just started traveling.” On Saturday, Schmitt will have his works on exhibit to the public for the first time ever at Bliss 101 in Encinitas. As a self-described “midwife” to local artists, Helen Zeldes, owner of Bliss 101, said showcasing Schmitt’s work fit within her idea of helping to promote and give artists an opportunity to get their works out to the community. Zeldes had heard about Schmitt’s work through employees of hers. And one day, Schmitt came in with some of his photos to show. She said she was just blown away by them. “Sharing local art helps people feel part of the community,” Zeldes said. Schmitt, a La Jolla resident, said it was crazy to see his new dream come into the physical world, especially as a self-taught photographer. That transition from football player to photographer wasn’t easy one, he tempered, but now he feels like a completely different person. “I knew through the NFL, what it took to be the best,” Schmitt said. “So I felt like I had a little jump. So once I started getting into photography I immediately started hanging out with the

best … landscape photographers and learned from the best right away.” Schmitt said he’s always looking to do something better in his work. “You’re never completely satisfied with a photo,” he said. Schmitt will be at Bliss 101, 553 S. Coast Highway 101, Nov. 21 from 5 to 9 p.m. Call (760) 487-1900 or visit Bliss 101’s Facebook page to RSVP.

Library trades fines to feed the hungry

SPECIAL SALUTE Marine Ralph Moran, left, salutes Pearl Harbor Survivor Jud McDannold at the “We Honor Veterans” program at Westmont Town Court in Escondido on Nov. 11, which saluted 60 area veterans. Courtesy photo

ESCONDIDO — Escondido Public Library’s annual Holiday Food for Fines program runs Nov. 30 through Dec. 31 at 239 S. Kalmia St. The program provides library patrons with the opportunity to clear up to $20 in fines from their account by donating food. Proceeds benefit Interfaith Community Services in Escondido, which distributes the food to families in need throughout the North County area. Non-perishable, nutritious, pre-packaged items such as canned goods, pasta, sauces, and peanut butter credit up to $1 worth of fines per item. Non-nutritious, per-

ishable, expired, or damaged items cannot be accepted. Customer Services Supervisor Linda Weber said, “this event is a wonderful way for library patrons to not only clear some of their fines, but to also give back to their community by helping those in need. “Last year we collected more than 90 crates of food weighing an estimated 2,340 pounds. We hope to top that this year.” Food may only be used to clear fines, and may not be used to clear fees associated with lost or damaged books and materials, or city attorney fees. The Library is happy

to accept any donations whether or not they are fine-related and welcomes donations from patrons who bring in food just to help those in need. For further information, visit library.escondido.org or contact Weber at (760) 839-4613.

GIVING THANKS Thanksgiving Day brings to mind the daily blessings in our lives that we sometimes take for granted: a home that provides us with comfort, clothes to keep us warm, food to eat and share, the freedoms secured by our military men and women here and abroad, and our ability to help our neighbors and community. Most of all we are thankful for our family and friends, those treasured people who make our lives extra special in so many ways. On Thanksgiving, (and every day) we appreciate you!

Encinitas Turkey Trot set for second year By Aaron Burgin

ENCINITAS — Six or seven years ago (he can’t remember), Steve Lebherz visited one of his brothers in San Jose for Thanksgiving. His brother invited him to participate in a race before the family sat down for Thanksgiving Dinner. The race was called the Silicon Valley Turkey Trot. Lebherz said what happened next was eye opening. “We go to downtown San Jose, and it’s raining and cold, but I get there, and there are 24,000 people ready to run in this race,” Lebherz said. “My first thought was, wow this is a lot of people. My next thought was, I flew 500 miles to your house so that I can sit in the misting rain storm at 7 a.m. to run in a race?” After a second cold, rainy Turkey Trot, Lebherz said to himself, “Why go to

San Jose and run the race in the rain when you can put one on in sunny Encinitas?” For a second consecutive year, that is what Lebherz is doing, as The Encinitas Turkey Trot — a 5K and 10K race through downtown Encinitas and Cardiff — is slated for Thanksgiving morning, Nov. 26. “Last year was a lot of fun, and we’re definitely looking forward to making this a tradition in Encinitas,” said Lebherz, who also organizes the popular Cardiff Kook Run in February. Thanksgiving morning races are becoming increasingly popular in the United States, as Baby Boomers and others are looking for alternative calorie-burning pre-meal activities to the traditional pre-Thanksgiving football games and hockey matches. According to running magazines, there are more

than 1,000 such “Turkey Trots” nationwide. “People have more time on their hands, and more people than ever are flying and visiting with friends on family on Thanksgiving and they are looking for something to do before they eat,” Lebherz said. “Since you’re not going to put grandma and grandpa in a flag-football game, the phenomena of the turkey trot has kind of taken off.” The majority of the 2,000 or so participants in last year’s race were 5K walkers composed of families and seniors, Lebherz said. This year, Lebherz said, they are anticipating more than 2,500 people, depending on the weather. The race has several other components that add to the festivities. A costume contest, which starts at 8 a.m., cash

prizes to the three participants who best display the spirit of the annual event. First prize is a cool $350 and second and third prize are $200 and $100 respectively. Additionally, VG Donut and Bakery, one of Cardiff’s most popular attractions, will be donating 25 full Thanksgiving dinners for four to 25 active duty military families, with the local Coco’s restaurant chipping in with 25 pumpkin pies. Racers will also have opportunities for altruism. Race organizers are asking runners to donate canned goods or non-perishable foods when they pick up their race packs at Road Runner Sports in Carlsbad. The food will be donated to the San Diego Food Bank. For more information on the event, visit encinitasturkeytrot.org.

CARLSBAD — The Coast News and Army and Navy Academy are teaming up to host a major high-school basketball tournament that looks to become a destination for top high school teams in years to come. The paper has signed up as title sponsor for The Coast News Tip-Off Classic, a 10-team varsity and junior varsity basketball tournament hosted at sites throughout North and Central San Diego County, Southwest Riverside and South Orange counties. The semifinals and finals of the varsity division will be held at the Duffield Sports Center, the academy’s state-of-the-art facility. The tournament is the brainchild of Army-Navy assistant coach Sam Eshelman, who organized the inaugural tournament — formerly known as The Coastal Tip-Off Classic — as a high-level junior varsity basketball event while he was the head coach at Sage Creek High School. “We think we’ve put together a very competitive year for the first season with varsity teams,” Eshelman said. “We also believe it is a very diverse field, and whereas some tournaments will only draw from one area, we have been able to attract teams from multiple sections and different regions.” The field is broken down into two five-team pools. In Pool A, the host school Army-Navy is joined by Dana Hills, La Costa Canyon, Rancho Bernardo and Temecula Valley high schools. Pool B includes Del Norte, which will host the JV division finals, El Camino, Scripps Ranch, San Diego Serra and Westview high schools. Each team will host two home games and play two road games. The two

teams with the best records from each pool will advance to the semifinals held Dec. 10 and the semifinal winners will play for the championship Dec. 11. General admission to games is $5 and $3 for students. This marks The Coast News’ second foray into high school basketball in recent months. The paper was a sponsor of the 3P Creme of the County, a high-level basketball showcase organized by one of the paper’s own, reporter Aaron Burgin Eshelman said the paper’s engagement in high school basketball is exciting and will fill a void of local basketball coverage. “I think it is tremendous that they are improving and increasing their presence in high school basketball, there is a need in this market for someone to step forward with in depth basketball coverage and promotion,” Eshelman said. As for the tournament, Eshelman envisions being able to attract top teams from each of the participating regions and make it a destination tournament. He says the beautiful location, proximity to neighboring regions, and Duffield’s gym are all big draws for teams and their fan bases. “We feel the location of Army Navy is key in being able to attract teams from the city, from our northern neighbors, and Duffield Sports Center is a top-flight high school facility, so we feel it is a great destination for fans to come and watch a high school basketball game,” Eshelman said. “We’re also trying to get the Village of Carlsbad on board, because there are tons of places for fans to go have dinner and then come and watch a ball game, and I believe that is a big selling point. “We are trying to make it a true community event, and we feel it would provide fans an opportunity to see quality high school basketball, which has great entertainment value at a reasonable price,” Eshelman said.

among Chargers fans sports talk jay paris In a Chargers season that is so unforgettable, we remember the unbelievable. LaDainian Tomlinson, the spotlight is yours. Tomlinson, the Chargers’ icon, gets his due this weekend. The reeling Chargers (2-7) play out the string against the Kansas City Chiefs (4-5) but Tomlinson is Sunday’s real draw. The shifty running back with moves, moxie and a mind-set focused on success is being honored. He becomes the 38th Charger entering the club’s Hall of Fame, but more impressively, just the fourth player to have his number retired. He joins other Chargers legends in the club’s version of Mt. Rushmore. It’s hard arguing about a carving that includes Lance Alworth, Dan Fouts, Junior Seau and now, Tomlinson. (A quick pause here: that celebrated Chargers tackle Ron Mix, the second AFL player behind Alworth inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, hasn’t had his No. 74 placed in the rafters should be an embarrassment to the Chargers’ organization.) Back to L.T. and that’s always a pleasant place to return. Tomlinson’s was sensational in San Diego, scoring touchdowns and setting records with the regularity of another stunning San Diego sunset. He was the focal point of a Chargers era in which they advanced to an AFC Championship Game and won five AFC West titles. The chant of “L.T., L.T., L.T.,” which once ricocheted Qualcomm Stadium remains a soundtrack, which thankfully won’t fade away. That John Butler didn’t let Tomlinson get away is how his Chargers stay began. Butler, then the general manager, orchestrated a blockbuster trade on the eve of the 2001 draft, which brought Tomlinson’s spectacular talents to American’s Finest City. Butler’s swap had a lot of moving parts, but the main pieces ended up being Michael Vick to the Falcons and Tomlinson to the Chargers. The Chargers had their worst year in franchise history in 2000, but with L.T. aboard, the future got brighter. “It was the building of the organization, the foundation that was set in place early on,’’ he said.

“When I got here, the previous year they were 1-15. But walking into the locker room, Junior Seau and Rodney Harrison are present. Guys that have played at a high level and had been leaders of teams.’’ Mr. Butler, rest in peace and thank you again for your keen football vision in adding Tomlinson to the mix. It was clear Tomlinson saw things on the field that others struggled to see on film. His anticipation of where the crease was going to be instead of where it was separated him from other backs. We know the phrase “stop on a dime” was around before L.T. But after he did it while cradling the football, he would jump into an open area, often not stopping until reaching the end zone. With Marty Schottenheimer as coach, the Chargers made no qualms about being a running team. While the league was morphing into the pass-happy product it is today, the Chargers played “Marty Ball” and why not with L.T. carrying the goods. Nothing trumped 2006, when Tomlinson had a season for the ages. He scored a record 31 touchdowns, while also setting the mark with 28 rushing scores. He led the league in rushing and he even added TURN TO JAY PARIS ON 18

to come,” Goldsmith added. “We have really goodnamed players and good upand-coming players” Goldsmith and Director of Ticket Sales Kyla Brown said the response leading up to the tournament has been positive. “People want to see pro tennis back in San Diego,” Brown explained. “There is no reason why there shouldn’t be a very successful pro tennis tournament here. There’s tons of tennis fans here.” The success of the women’s tournament will decide whether or not Goldsmith and Brown can expand the tournament to include a men’s field in the future.

CARLSBAD — In just a few days, the new season for the Women’s Tennis Association’s takes center court. And after a two-year hiatus, professional tennis returns to the city with the Carlsbad Classic. The tournament runs from Sunday through Nov. 29 at the Park Hyatt Aviara Resort. The tournament brings a mixed bag of ranked players, although one of the main attractions comes from a budding California teenager. CiCi Bellis, who captured national headlines two years ago with a firstround upset over 12th-seeded Dominika Cibulkova, 6-1, 4-6, 6-4, at the 2014 U.S. Open, is part of the 32-player singles draw. The San Francisco native and Southern California resident, just 16, has been climbing the ranks and is one player local fans are drawn to, according to Carlsbad Classic Tournament Director Ben Goldsmith. “She’s our biggest draw, but she’s only ranked 200-something in the world,” he said. “Everyone loves this American girl and she had a huge run at the U.S. Open. We’ve had more calls about her than anybody.” Despite the popularity of Bellis, the inaugural tournament also boasts talent such as Yanina Wickmayer of Belgium, formerly ranked 12th in the world, Nichole Mossmerr of La Jolla, Alexandra Stevenson, also of La Jolla and daughter of NBA icon Julius Erving, and

With a men’s and women’s field, the plan is to create a substantial tournament on the WTA tour. “We want a combined men’s and women’s event before Indian Wells,” Goldsmith said. “Everything we are doing is for that purpose. Next year, we are going spend a lot of money to bring in a really big name.” Another draw, other than the players, is a VIP event featuring Kimberly Caldwell at 5 p.m. on Sunday. In addition, Brown said kids 14 and under will be admitted free on Wednesday, while general admission ticket prices are now $15 per day. Box seats start at $40.

an NFL title stings to this day. Bad breaks, bad injuries and bad decisions left the Chargers short. Ultimately Schottenheimer was fired after going 14-2 in 2006 and my two cents is the Chargers veered from being a running team to a passing one. Tomlinson’s role slowly gave way to a throw-first offense and eventually he got on the wrong side of then-GM A.J. Smith. It remains unfathomable that L.T. was treated in such a distasteful manner by Smith. The “Lord of No Rings” wasn’t shy about displaying his power by mocking Tomlinson and letting him go as a free agent. Tomlinson spent two years with the Jets, but he never lost his love for San Diego.

“The plan was always for me to come back and retire as a San Diego Charger,’’ he said, and we commend Chargers boss Dean Spanos for keeping his word. “But you don’t think about having your number retired, especially with the greats of Dan Fouts, Lance Alworth and Junior Seau. For me, it is amazing.’’ For us, it’s a thrill to have those L.T. snapshots in the memory bank. Those were the days, my friends, and after this dreadful Chargers season, on and off the field, we embrace the greatness of one LaDainian Tramayne Tomlinson. Or simply, L.T.

During the ball, Lejeune’s birthday message is read in length and Marines observe an official cake cutting ceremony where the oldest Marine present delivers a piece of cake to the youngest Marine, signifying passing the Corps’ traditions onto the newest generation of Marines. Other traditions include unit formation runs and a uniform pageant displaying uniforms Marines have worn in different eras and battles. The Marine Corps birthday is a time for Marines to not only reflect on their history, but also re-invigorate the esprit de corps that embodies each warrior. “The spirit of the Marine Corps is what is important, and that will not change regardless of circumstances. Our Marines have a spirit of courage, initiative and perseverance, and they will overcome any challenge they face. “We will maintain a Marine Air-Ground Task Force that is always ready to conduct operations ranging from humanitarian assistance to major combat.”
