Board hears road maintenance and gas tax impact updates By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — At a recent Rancho Santa Fe Association board meeting, field operations manager Arnold Keene provided the board and Covenant members with a county road maintenance update. Keene began by noting that the county of San Diego oversees roughly 60 miles of Covenant roadway. Additionally, they maintain the road surfaces, striping, culvert maintenance, erosion control and traffic signs. “They’re out replacing traffic signs right now The county of San Diego oversees roughly 60 miles of Covenant due to the storm,” Keene roadway. Additionally, they maintain the road surfaces, striping, said, referring to the heavy culvert maintenance, erosion control and traffic signs. Photo by winds and rain that oc- Tony Cagala

curred over the weekend of Jan. 30. Keene gave notable kudos to the county for being on hand after the severe weather by helping clear roadways and placing safety barricades. Keene then provided a glimpse into how the county decides which roads are on the countywide road improvement roster. “They (county) prioritize major repairs and paving throughout the entire county including the Covenant. So they have a large area with limited resources some years,” he said. “They maintain a five-year plan to list roads but priorities TURN TO ROADS ON 14

RANCHO SANTA FE — Chief Matt Wellhouser attended the Rancho Santa Fe Association’s monthly board meeting and provided a 2015 annual report revealing numerous facts. One important revelation was how most crimes happening in the community were opportunistic in nature. However, the numbers were better than they have been. According to Wellhouser, last year there were a total of 16 burglaries with a breakdown of nine residential and seven commercial thefts. In 2014, there were a total of 23 cases. From a standpoint of break-ins, Wellhouser said, the community was doing well but had room for improvement. Many of the burglaries were opportunistic, also referred to as non-forced entry in where perpetrators gained access easily. “Lock your door, turn on the alarm system if you have one, and use exterior lighting,” he said. “Please lock up your house — that’s important.” Wellhouser mentioned how dogs can be deterrents, too. In 2015, there was one case of a hot prowl where residents were home when the perpetrator(s) broke in. “That’s a high priority call for us. It’s a very, very serious call,” he said. “There’s a potential threat

ferently than a burglary, for example, that might be a few days old.” Wellhouser also pointed out not to leave any belongings in the car in order to discourage theft and vandalism. A total of 19 percent of calls were in-house generated in 2015, which means that they are observed and initiated by the patrol officers. “That’s what you pay us for is to be out because we’ll see what’s going on,” he said, adding how having high visibility of their patrol is important. “And that’s what we try to achieve.” As far as traffic collisions, Wellhouser said there was a slight increase. In 2015, there were 35 injury collisions as compared to 24 in 2014. A total of 79 non-injury collisions were reported in 2015. In 2014, the number was 70. “Overall, we’re in good shape compared to 2004,” he said, noting how those numbers were higher. According to Wellhouser, the number one cause of accidents was speed followed by inattention and right-of-way violations. Wellhouser reported that in 2015 they received 4,400 calls with alarm calls comprising of 12 percent of their business. The average response time for the RSF Patrol is six-andTURN TO CRIMES ON 14

Boon addresses storm damage By Christina Macone-Greene

50-year-old nursery downsizing Property to be subdivided By Bianca Kaplanek

SOLANA BEACH — A seven-home subdivision is being proposed for a 4-acre lot in the eastern section of the city that is currently home to a floral business that once also offered pony rides, a petting zoo and cowboy-themed party opportunities. After serving the community for more than 50 years, Ted Van Arsdale said he and his wife and business partner, Victoria, decided to scale back Feather Acres Farm and Nursery on Avocado Place. “We weren’t using the property to the best of its

ability so we decided to downsize,” he said. They sold three-quarters of the property to a local man who has been coming to the property, riding ponies, since he was 4 years old. “His mother has been a client of ours for years,” Van Arsdale said. “He’s enjoyed the experience his entire life. Now he has a family of his own and his kids have been here for pony rides.” Feather Acres will continue to operate the floral business on the remaining 1-acre parcel, but rather than grow onsite they will using products from local growers, in part to be compatible with state TURN TO NURSERY ON 14

RANCHO SANTA FE — The severe El Niño thunderstorms which moved through San Diego during the weekend of Jan. 31 left downed trees and destroyed power lines around the county including Rancho Santa Fe. At a recent meeting, Board President Ann Boon addressed the board and Covenant members hoping that everyone sustained minimal to no damage. According to Boon, she heard reports of winds in the Ranch reaching speeds of 65 miles per hour.in the Ranch reached speeds of 65 miles per hour. “Mother Nature left her mark with trees down and branches all over the streets. The community overall lost about 70 mature trees due to

high winds,” she said, noting how the golf course suffered the loss of four mature eucalyptus trees. “Thankfully we had no reports of injuries to people or their animals.” While property owners sustained minor damage to fences, Boon noted that she had not heard of any major damage to homes in the area. “By Monday morning five roads in the Ranch were closed because of fallen trees and downed and damaged power lines,” she said. Boon went on to thank their local and county crews who had clocked in long hours. Roads were reopened by 5 p.m. on Feb. 1. She also pointed out how the protocol of the crews was to prioritize the work in what areas need-

ed to be addressed first. Boon said there was still a lot to be done and the Rancho Santa Fe Association estimated it would take another few weeks to complete the entire job. “So I ask for your patience as our crews clear the debris and complete the work,” she said, adding her thanks to the collaborative team effort for their long hours of work to keep the community safe. Next on the agenda Boon addressed the nominating committee for the upcoming elections for three vacant board seats, which will come available. Including Boon and Heather Slosar, other members on this committee are Rochelle Putman, Roxana Foxx and Marie Addario.

According to Boon, to date the Association has received quite a few names of persons interested in running. Boon went on to say that the nominating committee is asking by Feb. 16 that interested individuals submit their bios. The committee is also setting up interviews for potential candidates Feb. 23 and Feb. 25. “Just as a reminder we do have a committee, but this is a completely open process so if you are someone who is interested in running and you’re really not interested in talking to the nominating committee, that’s OK,” she said. “Just take a look at the deadlines for submitting your name and your biography and we’re happy to have you run.”

Israeli rain barrels debut at EUSD farm lab By Aaron Burgin

ENCINITAS — The three, 300-gallon rain barrels students and teachers will see at the Encinitas Union Farm Lab are fairly unique. The Israeli-designed rain barrels are the first of their kind in California, part of a pilot program being launched by the U.S.— Israel Center (USIC) at UC San Diego’s Rady School of Management. Officials said the program aims to teach school-

The power of defense By De’Ann Weimer

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

On Super Bowl Sunday, the Denver Broncos shined a spotlight on the power of defense. Carlsbad knows all about playing defense. Over the last nine months, we’ve defended the right of Carlsbad residents to hold a vote on a proposal to build a mall on our Agua Hedionda Lagoon. We’ve defended ourselves from the prospect of nearly 13 million visitors clogging Interstate 5 and the east-west traffic all along Cannon Road. We’ve defended our award-winning city planning process as an L.A. developer tries to skirt those standards. We’ve defended our right to access the surface waters and the beaches of the lagoon. On Feb. 23, when all the votes are counted, we will learn if our defense will prevail. With less than a week remaining, we encourage every Carlsbad voter to educate themselves on the perils of the proposed lagoon mega mall, and then walk in that voting booth and exercise your right to control your city. Listen to independent, uncompromised voices who have long had Carlsbad’s back like former Planning Director Michael Holzmiller, former City Attorney Ron Ball, current Agua Hedionda Lagoon Foundation board member Eric Munoz, current school board trustee Kathy Rallings, former school board trustees and chairs Mark S. and Ann Tanner, and former Carlsbad Unified School Board Trustee John Roach. The Scare Tactic: Something worse will be built on this site, like 500 homes or a WalMart. No. If we don’t approve Measure A, Carlsbad’s

EDITOR AND PUBLISHER Jim Kydd MANAGING EDITOR Tony Cagala

General Plan and existing planning processes prohibit this and something worse than this. And what other developer would want to risk $8 million to override the city’s planning processes after this proposal is defeated? The Truth: Measure A will bring nearly 13 million annual visitors and more than 35,000 new vehicle trips per day. Adding a few stoplights will not improve traffic — even if the stoplights are coordinated. True, freeway improvements are years away. Caltrans says it hasn’t even started drafting plans for widening the I-5 bridge across the lagoon. Estimated completion times have been pushed back from 2035 to 2040. Many of us will not live to see the road improvements proponents of Measure A claim will relieve the congestion. Past Caruso Affiliated projects have promised “traffic mitigation,” but the reality is those communities live with the same traffic gridlock we can expect here. • All five freeway segments from Carlsbad Village Drive to La Costa Avenue are worse with the mall development according to Caruso Affiliated’s own traffic study. (Appendix N, Traffic Impact Analysis, p. 56). At Cannon Road, Caruso Affiliated’s own estimate is 135 percent worse. • Caltrans work on I-5 is focused in 2016 on re-striping an existing braking lane as a carpool or high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) lane. Work begins at the Manchester interchange and will proceed north. • Around 2035 when the Cannon Road ramps are redone, those improvements will not include a

possible HOV access ramp, because that would require Caruso Affiliated to give up six acres adjacent to the highway. • It would become the first mall in Carlsbad with one way in and one way out. Measure A supporters contend the traffic won’t be bad because the mall will serve Carlsbad residents not outsiders. Let’s do the math. If you need 13 million visitors to have a successful mall, you are assuming that Carlsbad’s 110,000 residents will visit the mall 118 times each year? Put another way, every Carlsbad resident would have to visit the mall each weekend, plus 66 additional times on week days throughout the year. For a mall, high traffic means high revenues. Lower traffic means lower revenues. Low traffic and high revenues is a myth. Caruso Affiliated can’t have it both ways. Carlsbad residents don’t deal in myths. We have a long tradition of defending the community we love. A real citizens’ initiative gave our community its growth management plan in 1986, laying the foundation for the Carlsbad we enjoy today. It was the 2006 citizen’s initiative that protected the land around the lagoon, permanently saving the open space and the agricultural heritage of Carlsbad. In 2016, the people of Carlsbad believe even more in these values and in our community. Vote No on Measure A. Save Carlsbad. De’Ann Weimer is president of Citizens For North County No On Measure A with major funding by Westfield LLC.

RSFA agrees to pay $60,000 toward EIR for roundabouts Northbound By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — Spotlight attention was given to roundabouts at the last Rancho Santa Fe Association board meeting. Last year’s community survey revealed that 73 percent of Covenant members preferred roundabouts along the Paseo Delicias intersections of Via de la Valle, El Montevideo/La Valle Plateada, and El Camino del Norte. Recently, members were wondering if any updates from the county emerged since the Association sent their roundabout recommendation letter in November 2015. The county did respond, and the RSFA board has agreed to help pay for an updated EIR to the financial tune of $60,000. “It took the county awhile to get back to us. This is a very complex is-

sue,” Overton said. The Association received a letter on Jan. 28 from county program Manager Leann Carmichael. According to Overton, the environmental impact report (EIR) that started the whole discussion back in 2004, when roundabouts were favored, is now outdated. In order to move forward, that part of the project needs to be closed and another EIR needs to be updated and certified. “The county has written to us saying that they do not have the funds in their budget to complete the EIR. They are requesting $60,000 from the Association to complete the EIR,” Overton said. The total cost of the EIR is $75,000 and the county will cover $15,000 of that cost. Board Director Kim Eggleston shared his views

on the letter from the county. “I think it’s important that the membership knows in reading this letter from the county how tragically

The bottom line is the county is going through a tight budget, times two.” Bill Overton Manager, RSF Association

flawed our decision making process is in this community,” he said. Eggleston continued, “When you read

the second page of this letter it is a condemnation of the wishy-washy back and forth, one vocal minority overrides another vocal minority, and we end up doing absolutely nothing.” Eggleston went on to say that 12 years later, a decision of due process was made for roundabouts. He noted that he felt that the current board has been far more decisive and less “wishy-washy.” “I think the membership needs to know that this is no way to run a railroad when you read that letter from the county,” he said, noting how there are clear references and details in the letter. For Eggleston, it was important for the board to get “behind this” and provide the money. Overton indicated that he has spoken to various board members in passing.

“The bottom line is the county is going through a tight budget, times two,” he said. Grant funds for road improvements were easier to get versus engineering types of funds such as an EIR, he said. The request for $60,000 was in an effort for the Association to help finish the process. “I would say that a 73 percent vote, in my opinion, is compelling community support,” Overton said. “And it would be reasonable to use the Covenant Enhancement Fund for $60,000 to complete this project and carry out the survey.” Board members agreed they wanted to safeguard the $60,000 by making certain that when their updated EIR is certified, it stays certified, and does not expire while funding for the roundabouts takes place.

Association tables cell reception District begins search improvement recommendation for new superintendent Town hall meeting scheduled for Feb. 29 By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — Although American Tower Corporation (ATC) was recommended as the finalist by the Rancho Santa Fe Associations’ finance and technology committees for cell reception improvement, Covenant members attending the Feb. 4 meeting voiced concerns about proposed cell site locations. These responses triggered the board to table the tech committee’s recommendation and instead host a town hall meeting before any concrete decisions are made. The town hall meeting is scheduled for Feb. 29 at 6:30 p.m. at the Garden Club. “Residents are invited to attend a presentation on prospective cell site locations, radio frequency engineering and safety reports, and faux tree screening options,” said Don May, finance and operations manager at the RSF Association. “Attendees will learn about the project, ask questions and voice their

opinions.” Residents first shared their opinions regarding how the proposed faux pine and eucalyptus cell towers may potentially prompt property devaluations. Health concerns were also expressed. Board members Mike Licosati and Philip Wilkinson, who also serve on the tech committee, listened to the concerns while explaining how their plan was to improve cell coverage while causing minimal impact to the community. The faux trees, reaching from 45 to 90 feet in height, had proposed site locations at Via de Fortuna, Lago Lindo and La Glorieta. The first two sites are Association-owned properties, while the latter is rightof-way. May explained how ATC was an optimal choice because of their ability to have multiple carriers on their site. RSF Association Vice President Heather Slosar was in favor of a town hall meeting. “We have a history on this board, which I think is a really good thing in where we ask our community to

give us their opinion on various topics that we’re working on,” she said, adding how this history has included roundabouts and the Covenant Club projects. She continued, “We solicit input from our membership and obviously people don’t always like the answer.” Association Manager Bill Overton told the board that they could have a town hall meeting with the ability to offer two or three weeks’ notice and to publish it in a variety of ways. “There’s not going to be a formal vote,” Overton said. “We can do that easily if the board wants to go in that direction.” Director Jerry Yahr agreed with Slosar’s comments. “Allow the community to hear all the history because it sounds like they want to be involved,” Yahr said. For Yahr, town hall meetings are about education and a chance for members to share their views. He wanted to ensure that residents wouldn’t feel rushed into the decision making process because that wouldn’t be fair to the community.

Covenant updated on investments By Christina Macone-Greene

RANCHO SANTA FE — At the Feb. 4 Rancho Santa Fe Association’s board of directors meeting, a segment of the manager’s report addressed the laddering and insuring of investments. According to Association Manager Bill Overton, this item was officially completed. Before diving into specifics, Overton first reminded everyone how the Association renegotiated all of its banking relationships with Union Bank a few months ago. In fact, they researched various institutions. However, renegotiations with Union Bank resulted in a better loan and lower banking fees.

“And we also embarked on matching our restrictive reserves to independent bank accounts for each entity,” he said. Those entities included the RSF Golf Club, RSF Tennis Club, RSF Association and the Community Enhancement Fund. Don May, the Association’s finance and operations manager, along with Matthew Ditonto, their controller, championed this and more. Overton said that once May and Ditonto made sure they had all their liquidity needs covered, about 80 to 85 percent of those funds became laddered certificates of deposit which were highly

rated and all FDIC insured. “Now it sounds easy but it’s actually harder than it sounds because FDIC insurance caps at $250,000 per instrument,” Overton said. “We have more than $11 million invested so we had to buy a lot of CDs.” Overton pointed out that they are at various maturities so that the Association will always have the liquidity means it requires. “This is important. It means that all Association funds that are invested for future needs are protected by FDIC insurance or by a brokerage account where we have 100 percent liquidity,” he said. “It’s a long time coming, and we got it done.”

By Christina Macone-Greene cess,” Delaney said.

RANCHO SANTA FE — Since 1964, the Rancho Santa Fe School District has only had three superintendents. And Superintendent Lindy Delaney has served 12 of those years. Delaney’s history with the District began back in 1986 when she was brought on as a teacher and ultimately took an administrative path. The recent announcement of Delaney’s voluntary retirement is slated for July 1, 2016 and was a topic of discussion at a Feb. 4 Rancho Santa Fe school board meeting. When the board of trustees first asked parents in the audience if they had any questions about the process there was some silence. Following Delaney’s encouragement from the audience, questions began to emerge. “Obviously, the board is grappling with how to proceed,” Delaney said. Delaney went on to say how input from all was necessary, including what was important to parents in terms of the process and the qualifications they would like to see in a new superintendent. “There will be a process, and it will be a process that has some inclusion, but I also feel like we have a great school board in place to lead the pro-

She also wanted parents to know that the board will do what they need in order to make the best decision in their choice for a new superintendent. A question from an audience member asked if the district had any intention of bringing on a recruiting firm to help in the search. The board’s response was that they were considering a firm. RSF School District Board Vice President Todd Frank said the goal was to enhance that reach with, “People who were professional in this area to help us through this.” Delaney said that as Superintendent for 12 years, and marking 13 when she does retire, she believes that there is one thing that the board should always remember. And that is to be mindful of the people in the community, the people in the school, and general counsel for the district, Richard Currier. “They have a really good handle on this district,” she said, noting how it will take special qualities to fill the role of superintendent. While an outside firm could be helpful, it was Delaney’s belief that people not familiar with the TURN TO SEARCH ON 14

Making North County more business-friendly

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 shortterm waiver of permits and inspection fees for common home renovation projects?

County grant to light up the stage By Bianca Kaplanek

SOLANA BEACH — The spotlight will soon shine brighter and more energy-efficiently on actors at North Coast Repertory Theatre thanks in part to a $24,000 county grant. The Board of Supervisors on Jan. 26 unanimously approved a Neighborhood Reinvestment Program request submitted to the Third District office of Supervisor Dave Roberts, who lives not far from the Solana Beach playhouse. Managing Director Bill Kerlin said the money will be used to replace the light board and other theatrical lighting equipment that was installed in the 1980s. The grant will cover about half of the first phase of a two-part project. Phase two will cost an additional $30,000. “Theater is expensive,” Kerlin said, adding that the 194-seat facility has been working to re-

place the outdated lighting for a while. “We’ve been writing grants for about five years for the upgrade,” he said. “It was actually overdue five years ago. Imagine using a computer from 1980. This was the right grant at the right time for the right project,”” Kerlin said the new equipment will give the lighting designer tools to provide an array of colors. It will also use less energy and throw off less heat, which will be a bonus for the actors onstage. “Right now we’re using gels on the lights to change colors,” he said. “This will be a big jump forward. It will help make all our dreams come true. “We’re really, really grateful to Dave Roberts and all the supervisors for all their support. Without their help it would be difficult to keep on pace with the industry standard.” “For 30 years, North TURN TO NCRT ON 14

he invasion has begun! They’re large, and green and really an-

noying. Well, no, I haven’t seen any UFOs, but when I walked out into my yard this week, I made the mistake of looking down. There I found the healthiest collection of native plants (aka weeds) I have seen in some years. It seems like they just popped up when I wasn’t paying attention, although I haven’t paid attention since Septem-

ber.

If you recall, I spent last summer on my hands and knees, sprucing up my backyard for my daughter’s wedding reception. During that process, I put in a king’s ransom in groundcover. I now admit that this was not my most clever idea, since the feet of friends and family thoroughly mashed said groundcover throughout the festivities. There was scarcely a recognizable leaf left the next day, but by that time, I no longer cared. It has taken me six months to care, even a little, but judging by the size of those green beasts alongside my fetching pathway, I need to care pretty soon. If I fail to remove them, the aforementioned path will return to the jungle. I armed

myself with trowel and gloves and started pulling. One problem is the time it will consume to clear them all out. In comparison to the entire yard, it is only a small area, but when you’re bent over digging and pulling, it seems to stretch to the horizon. I foolishly thought it would be a one-, maybe twoday task. Three days later, I have only conquered a quarter of the patch. My enthusiasm has badly flagged. I also had some trouble discerning between the weeds and the groundcover. If I could just limit the weed invasion to, perhaps, that stuff that looks like the tops of carrots, I would call the job done and put my feet up. There are, however, half a dozen weed shapes and sizes, happily sprouting along my

well-fertilized garden path. As hard as I squint, it just does not look like the English garden I was shooting for. I have, thus far, needed surgical precision to remove weeds, yet spare the remnants of groundcover. I began hoping for a lengthy rainstorm as an excuse to delay further weeding, but, of course, by the time things dry up, the ground I’ve gained will be back in the enemy’s hands, or leaves. I think it may be time for a different tactic. I love the smell of Roundup in the morning. Jean Gillette is a freelance writer rather wishing for a brief but severe frost.

Photographer’s key to capturing waves — don’t panic

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 taking photos, giving her an ability to capture those feelings being near the ocean gives off. Her first efforts as a water photographer came a couple of years ago when she swam out at D Street with a GoPro camera in her hand. And the results of that first shoot — were they what she had expected? “Oh, no,” Scarski said. Being 100 percent self-

taught, Scarski said she was able to pick up a few tips here and there from other San Diego-area photographers, but added that the water photography community is pretty tight-knit and not 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.

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 “Gidgetby-The-Sea,” 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

and operated Greek restaurant with a large dance floor, featuring belly dancing, traditional Greek dancing, live music and a fire dance featuring Kostas himself. Prior to that the family had established Olympic Burgers in San Diego, and Kostas was the proprietor of Zorbas Nightclub in Matala, Crete before moving to the United States. That said, they have some experience doing this and Seafire appears to be the best of those experiences. Kostas completely remodeled and modernized the building, creating a new and innovative fresh concept with Mediterranean flair. The remodel took over a year to complete and the end result was a beautiful, modern, stylish and cozy new restaurant, which is perfect for all occasions, be it a family dinner, business meeting, date night or a casual neighborhood place to meet and get together. The remodel includes a fire pit, inside/outside bar which opens to the patio, and a wood-fired pizza oven in the window-encased open kitchen complete with dining bar. The wood-fired oven is a nice option for the pizza portion 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 un-

familiar, 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.

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.

reer 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/.

I’ve never done anything else in my life that has had such an impact on people.” Britt Doehring Musician

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

uper Bowl 50 came and went but not without a local im-

pact. 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 CROP what has been an amazing .93 career. .93 The Chargers realize 4.17 34, probably has Rivers, three 4.28to 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 Chargers’ 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.

It is my fervent hope that this is just the beginning of technology transfers between San Diego and Israel.” The farm lab is one of three schools in the county to participate in the program: Franklin Elementary in City Heights and Pacific Beach Middle School are the others. Encinitas Union School District official Mim Michelove, who oversees the farm lab, said the district was recommended for the project by the Leichtag Foundation, the large Jewish philanthropic organization that focuses on, among other things, environmental sustainability. “Once I learned about the innovative rain barrel design and its ability to provide consistently clean water, it became clear that this exciting environmental education opportunity was a perfect fit for EUSD students,” Michelove said.

Finally, targeted relief should be considered for homebased 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.

ence teacher named Amir Yechieli, who was inspired to create the water catchment system after a major storm in Israel in 2000. Today, more than 140 schools in Israel employ the system through Yechieli’s company Rain Harvest. Runoff is collected by gravity or sump pumps from roofs and other areas into three to four interconnected tanks, which can store up to 300 gallons each. Sediments that settle in these settling tanks are easily drained through an opening until the water runs clear. Michelove said the farm lab plans to use rainwater within the school’s emerging water education zone to model ancient irrigation systems and to water landscaping. In a distinction from the other schools, the district also is looking at using the rainwater for toilet flushing at the Quail Gardens drive location. Santa Monica has used rainwater in a similar fashion at one of its library branches and Sacred Heart Middle School in Northern California also has a similar toilet-flushing program. Michelove said that the system at the farm lab will store up to 1,000 gallons of water during each rain event, and the savings on

the irrigation bill will be well received. The water bill is already fairly low as a result of drip irrigation techniques as well as so-called “soil fertility plan” implemented with the assistance of Coastal Roots Farm, and arm of the Leichtag Foundation. “Receiving precious resources for free is always of benefit, no matter what the quantity,” she said. Michelove, however, acknowledged that one of the hurdles the farm lab might face with the storage of water is using that water before the next rain event. “The key is understanding what your water will be used for, the quality of the water and the need for storage,” Michelove said. “For instance, you don’t need to water your garden following a rain event because the ground is wet and the plants are satisfied. “So you store your irrigation water until it is needed again, likely leaving you with full tanks when the next rain comes — and the opportunity is missed to collect more water,” she said. “It is worth exploring useful ways to utilize that water quickly so you will be ready to capture more water as the season brings you more rain.”

and specifies a minimum 20,000-square-foot lot size to help preserve the natural terrain and minimize grading requirements. The proposed project will include six single-family homes and one affordable unit as required by city code. Construction of the six homes is not currently proposed and will be subject to review and approval by city officials. In addition to grubbing, clearing and grading to create building pads for the future construction, the currently proposed project includes the installation of driveways, curbs and gutters, sidewalks and wet and dry utilities. Overhead utility lines on the northern boundary of the site along Avocado Place will be undergrounded. Residents can weigh in on the initial study and mit-

igated negative declaration until March 7. The documents are available At City Hall or on the city website. A mitigated negative declaration is appropriate when an initial study has been prepared and a determination can be made that no significant environmental effects will occur because revisions to the project have been made or mitigation measures will be implemented to reduce all potentially significant impacts to less than significant levels. Comments can be sent to Corey Andrews at candrews@cosb.org or 635 S. Coast Hwy. 101, Solana Beach, CA 92075. Council members will consider the adoption of the initial study and mitigated negative declaration, as well as the project approval, during a future public meeting.

major improvement to Las Colinas which was done last summer. Looking ahead, Keene said that they would work with the county to ensure that Rancho Santa Fe is part of the county’s priorities through staff contact and the San Dieguito Planning Group. The goal, he said, is goodwill between both groups since all county road improvement projects must go through the San Dieguito Planning Group. “It’s a very important group that looks out after your interest,” he said. Keene added, “Interestingly enough, when we first met with the San Dieguito Planning Group, our list of priority roads for resurfacing met very closely with the San Dieguito Planning Group’s list of roads. I feel confident that they have our best interests in mind, and will continue to see if we can get these roads fixed and paved as we move forward.”

Acclaimed ‘Lord Nelson Mass’ by Haydn debuts at Village Church RANCHO SANTA FE — One of the music world’s most outstanding compositions will be performed free on Sunday evening, Feb. 28, at the Village Church in Rancho Santa Fe when a full orchestra and choir present the “Lord Nelson Mass” by Franz Joseph Haydn. Building on the church’s reputation for presenting many of San Diego’s finest musical programs, this virtuoso Mass from 1798 will feature four of Southern California’s brightest upand-coming soloists and the accomplished pianist David Bergstedt also performing J.S. Bach’s Klavier Concerto No. IV in A Major. “It’s exciting to offer

the community such an exquisite example of the Mass from the Classical

period that features virtuoso soloists,” said Village Church director of music ministries Juan Carlos Acosta. “The Lord Nelson Mass is a dramatic setting of some of the most familiar texts in sacred music and shows Haydn at the height of his maturity harnessing a dramatic work for choir, orchestra and soloists,” he added. In addition to noted pianist Bergstedt, the evening’s performers include: Village Church Chancel Choir; Village Community Chorale; Katie Walders, Soprano; Elly Roseberry, Mezzo-Soprano; Alvin Almazan, Tenor; and Nicholas Newton, Bass-Baritone.

The program begins at 6 p.m. and childcare is available. The hour-long concert is free and open to the public; donations are welcome. Acosta is active as a conductor, singer and educator. In addition to his role at the Village Church, he is associate artistic director of the San Diego choir SACRA/PROFANA, and has sung with many of the region’s finest ensembles including the San Diego Opera, San Diego Master Chorale and the La Jolla Symphony Chorus.

Odd Files No time? Send your guests on a 2 for 1 tour By Chuck Shepherd

Intelligent Design Wired.com’s most recent “Absurd Creature” feature shows a toad devouring a larva of a much-smaller beetle, but the “absurdity” is that the larva is in charge and that the toad will soon be beetle food. The larva’s Darwinian advantage is that, inside the toad, it bites the hapless “predator” with its hooked jaws and then secretes enzymes to begin decomposing the toad’s tissue (making it edible) — and provoking it to vomit the still-alive larva. Wait, What? In January, the U.S. Department of Justice’s inspector general recommended closing down a program of the department’s Drug Enforcement Administration that paid employees of other federal agencies (Amtrak and the beloved Transportation Security Administration) for tips on suspicious passengers. (The program apparently ignored that federal employees have such a duty even without a bounty.) DEA was apparently interested in passengers traveling with large amounts of cash — which DEA could potentially seize if it suspected the money came from illegal activity (and also, of course, then keep the money under federal forfeiture law). According to the inspector general, the tipping TSA agent was to be rewarded with a cut of any forfeited money. Great Achievements in Laziness An 80-year-old man and a 37-year-old woman were ticketed in separate incidents in Canada the week of Jan. 18 when police spotted them driving cars completely caked in snow except for a small portion of the windshield. The man, from Brussels, Ontario, was driving a car resembling a “pile of snow on the road.” The Halifax, Nova Scotia, woman’s car was, a police statement said, “a snowbank with four wheels.”

f you’ve got family and friends who are heading your way to escape the snow, slush, ice and cold, you may not have the time and patience to go with them to see San Diego’s main attractions. Now there’s an alternative: Five Star Tours, a bus company in San Diego, is offering two-for-one tickets through the end of March. Tickets normally are $48 for adults; $39 for children 12 and under. You can even send your guests down and back on the Coaster (gonctd.com/ coaster) because the bus picks up and drops off passengers at the Five Star Tours Visitor Center at the Santa Fe Depot. The Coaster ride to the depot is a scenic, relaxing 55-minute trip from Oceanside. Five Star’s four-hour tour, narrated by local guides, takes visitors throughout downtown San Diego and to the La Jolla coastline, Balboa Park, Old Town and Coronado. Five photo-op stops are included. Tours depart at 9 a.m. and 2 p.m. Visit citytoursofsandiego.com/san-diegocity-tour.html. When those guests do show up at the door, hand them a copy of “Moon San Diego” (Moon Publishing; softcover; $19.95), a 280page, softcover guide to San Diego County’s 4,255 square miles. Compiled by local surfer, reporter and restaurant critic Ian Anderson, this third edition (updated June 2015) offers information on attractions, sights, restaurants, history, culture, nightlife and wildlife. The summaries are easy to read and include a generous number of photos, maps, and North County listings.
