At its June 7 meeting the Del Mar City Council issued a Proclamation honoring long-time Del Mar resident Joel Holliday for his many contributions to the community and to the region.
Joel’s numerous accomplishments were scattered among the many WHEREASes:
Joel was one of three founding directors of the Del Mar Foundation, whose mission is to promote civic pride and cohesiveness, acquire and preserve open space, improve beaches and parklands, raise and grant funds, and sponsor diverse cultural programs.
Joel and four others formed the Powerhouse Park Committee to support City acquisition of the Powerhouse Park and Powerhouse building for public use, approved by voters in 1983. The Holliday family also generously supported City acquisition of the Shores Park property.

Snooze buttons beware: The San Dieguito Union High School District will not change its bell schedules for the 2021-22 school year to comply with Senate Bill 328 which mandates a later start to the school day.
Per the bill signed into law in 2019, school start times for middle school must be no earlier than 8 a.m. and start times for high school must be no earlier than 8:30 a.m. SB 328 must be implemented by school districts in July 2022.
All SDUHSD middle schools are currently in compliance but this fall the high schools will revert to their pre-pandemic bell schedules: Canyon Crest Academy will start at 8 a.m., La Costa Canyon and Torrey Pines will start at 7:40 a.m. and San Dieguito Academy at 7:50 a.m.
