RANCHO SANTA FE — Association Manager Peter Smith and Association President Bill Beckman announced the proposed site for the Rancho Santa Fe Patrol Facilities at the July 2 Association meeting. In January 2009 a Site Development Committee was established to address office space and parking needs required by the Association, Rancho Santa Fe Fire Department, Rancho Santa Fe School and Inn at Rancho Santa Fe. Over the past six months, in more than 20 meetings, numerous options and variations have been explored. After much consideration, the most feasible choice is now called Option A. “The proposed project is still in the very early design phase,” Smith said.“The planning is still conceptual and the project has not been formally submitted to the Art Jury. But the site satisfies the

looks back on choice to incorporate By Bianca Kaplanek
DEL MAR — Children’s games, a family barbecue, music, dancing and a handful of poodle skirts were all part of the July 12 celebration to mark Del Mar’s 50th year of incorporation. On hand were residents from Del Mar and many neighboring cities, Assemblyman Martin Garrick, County Supervisor Pam Slater-Price and several past and present City Council members and mayors, including Coast News columnist Bill Arballo, who held the top post from 1962 to 1963. Arballo once noted that incorporation didn’t come easy. Slightly more than 1,000 residents participated in the election on July 15, 1959. With many fearing the city would be unable to afford the high cost of providing services, the decision passed by less than 100 votes. “They clearly chose the right thing to do,” said SlaterPrice, a Del Mar resident. The city’s history can be traced back to 1882, when the railroad tracks from San Diego to San Bernardino

Problems persist with Ranch’s Aussie trees By David Wiemers
HOW TO REACH US (760) 436-9737
By David Wiemers
RANCHO SANTA FE — The red gum eucalyptus trees in the Covenant are once again under attack by the pesky and persistent red gum lerp psyllid. The small insect sucks sap from the eucalyptus leaves, which can damage and, in many cases, kill the tree. The problem began in the 1980s, became a large problem in 2001, and returned again last year. Natural predators, wasps from Australia, were bred in a controlled environment and then introduced into the Covenant to remedy the problem. The wasps kill the parasite by boring into the white cone and laying their eggs inside, thus killing the lerp psyllid. It was hoped the wasp could control the problem, but it appears the red gum lerp psyllid is ultimately winning the battle. The Rancho Santa Fe Association board of directors
asked expert David Shaw, a farm adviser with the University of California Cooperative Extension, to study the problem and advise accordingly. Working with Timothy Paine from the University of California Riverside, Shaw studied the problem and gave his report at the July 2 Association meeting. “Other insects are part of the infestation,” Shaw said, identifying part of the problem. “There is now a barrage of insects.” Besides the red gum lerp psyllid, there are
beetles scalloping the leaves of the eucalyptus trees. Other hyper parasitoid insects are also doing damage. Shaw said there are many remedies, but all require trees to be monitored. “We need to look at these trees one by one,” he said. That is a daunting task with the large number of eucalyptus trees in the Covenant. Besides insect infestation, another part of the problem is that the eucalyptus trees, which were planted nearly 100 years ago by the Santa Fe Land

Ranch resident and school board president Carlie Headapohl voiced her concerns, too, for she and other Covenant members have received letters from the Fire Department telling them to remove dead trees within the TURN TO TREES ON A16
District adds on upgrades to school remodel By Bianca Kaplanek
RANCHO SANTA FE — Thanks to the confidence and generosity of its general contractor, the Rancho Santa Fe School District board of directors was able to include all but one upgrade in the reconstruction of R. Roger Rowe School. After receiving final state approval last month, C.W. Driver put the project out to bid. At the July 8 meeting, senior project manager Dave Christensen told board members the construction cost estimate came in about $1.1 million below the approved preliminary guaranteed maximum price of $3.4 million. That allowed the board to apply the difference to any of 12 value engineering items, or upgrades, which totaled $2.6 million. Eliminating the approximately $1 million synthetic turf field allowed the board to include almost all of the other 11 upgrades. Some choices required little discussion. For $369,000, everyone agreed to upgrade the stucco finish so it TURN TO SCHOOL ON A16

ODD FILES
Couple accused of abuse over pot, guns
by CHUCK SHEPHERD
LEAD STORY Scientology trains its leaders a good deal more aggressively than other religions do, judging by the revelations by four former church officials to the St. Petersburg Times in June. In an exercise concocted by founder L. Ron Hubbard, leaders who screw up are taken out to sea and forced off a gangplank with the admonition, “We commit your sins and errors to the deep and trust you will rise a better Thetan (immortal spiritual being).” The rituals can also take place in a cold swimming pool, with the transgressors in business suits. Also, to test leaders’ commitment, the head Scientologist, with a boombox, conducts games of musical chairs to reward the last man sitting (using the music of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody”: “Is this the real life? / Is this just fantasy? / Caught in a landslide / No escape from reality”).
Cultural Diversity The nomadic Vadi tribe, in the Indian state of Gujarat, continues to be adept at flouting the country’s 18-year-old ban on snake-charming. Historically, the Vadi have taught their children, beginning at age 2, to be at peace with cobras through affection and respect. According to a June dispatch in London’s Daily Telegraph, male children practice the iconic flute routines, and females provide hands-on care and feeding. The cobras are not de-fanged (which would be disrespectful), but each is fed an herbal solution that supposedly neutralizes the venom and is released back into the wild after a few months’ service.
Questionable Judgments — A June Government Accountability Office report revealed that people on the U.S.’s suspectedterrorist list tried to buy guns or explosives on at least 1,000 occasions in the last five years and were successful 90 percent of the time. One suspect managed to buy 50 pounds of explosives. Federal law treats the suspected-terrorist list as “no-fly” and “no-visa” but not “no-gun.” — “Pop” is a 2 1/2year-old Swedish kid whose “gender” is unknown to everyone, including Pop. “It” will be counseled that people do not have identical apparatus between their legs, but Pop’s folks told the newspaper Svenska Dagbladet in June that they intend to ignore all cultural characteristics of “boys” and “girls” in raising Pop.

Surf shop gives old sandals new purpose By Wehtahnah Tucker
ENCINITAS — As the summer season swings into high gear, a local group is urging people to recycle old flipflops. StyleSubstanceSoul.com, the fast-growing Carmel Valley-based Web site for women who want to look good, feel good and do good, is launching a major recycling effort with the help of local businesses and organizations. Dubbed “Formerly Flip Flops,” the initiative collects used flip-flops and sends them across the globe to be repurposed. UniquEco, an award-winning African company that assists female entrepreneurs in impoverished areas, transforms the seemingly worthless piles of sandals into innovative pieces of art and jewelry. Hansen Surfboards, San Diego’s oldest surf shop, jumped on board early in the process according to the group.They were the first corporate sponsor to collect flipflops at their store. As an incentive, Hansen Surfboards is offering a 10 percent discount on a new pair of flip-

aged a residential real estate company in West Los Angeles called The Thornton Company. Hill’s dad started his real estate career as a sales manager for Willis Allen
in the early 1960s, and went on to develop shopping centers for La Jolla Development Company. Hill launched her own real estate career six years ago and worked in the Willis Allen Del Mar Office before taking some time off to raise her children. Wolf has a sales background and has lived in the Carmel Valley neighborhood for 15 years. “Tory and I have five kids between us and are very active in this community that we care so much about,” Wolf said. “We feel lucky to live in such a beautiful place where our clients are raising their kids right along with us.

OCEANSIDE — The parents of a toddler were ordered to stand trial July 2 by a San Diego Superior Court judge for child abuse after authorities found loaded weapons and marijuana being grown in their Oceanside residence. Stephanie Marie Apatiga, 28, and Adam Lynn Heath, 31, are both charged with one count of felony child abuse. Additionally, Heath is also charged with possession of a firearm by a felon, possessing a prohibited gun and ammo and cultivating marijuana, all felonies. Further, a third defendant, David Adame, whose case has been separated from the aforementioned defendants, is charged with a single felony count each of possessing a prohibited firearm, receiving stolen property and a felon in possession of a firearm. Judge Timothy Casserly set an Aug. 25 trial date for Apatiga and Heath. The couple’s next scheduled court appearance is a July 30 readiness conference. Adame, 29, is scheduled back in court July 15 for further proceedings in his case. Oceanside police Detective John McKean testified he was working surveillance April 25 on a house in the 200 block of Smoketree Place in Oceanside after receiving information that Adame, who was wanted on a parole violation, might be at that location. McKean said he believed narcotics trafficking was occurring from the residence because of the steady flow of people who would visit the residence for short periods of time. When Adame and Heath left the residence on foot that afternoon with Heath’s then 13month-old son, police surrounded the men, McKean testified. Heath tried to flee on his skateboard with his son, while Adame, who surrendered, dropped a .45 caliber handgun he’d been carrying in a black plastic bag, the detective said. When police searched the residence, which McKean described as a “tweaker pad,” they found a loaded 20-gauge sawedoff shotgun on the garage floor with ammo nearby, a loaded handgun in Apatiga and Heath’s bedroom drawer, and a bedroom with several marijuana plants dedicated to cultivating the drug, the detective testified. Authorities established the couple resided at the residence through TURN TO ABUSE ON A18

Death of a titan: what we’ll do to survive Like most industries these days, the newspaper business sure is suffering. You’ve seen your favorite section disappear from your favorite daily. Your favorite columnist no longer appears near your favorite comic. The crime page isn’t as amusing or alarming as it once was. Most papers have slashed their staffs in half, and it shows. It’s no secret newspapers are struggling. One only needs to look nearby to witness drastic changes. The Union-Tribune, perhaps the most recognizable brand in the area, has undergone major alterations. Any time an equity firm buys out a newspaper, you know there is a problem. Part of the difficulty the newspaper business is currently facing is its struggle with a nagging, ongoing identity crisis. We can’t seem to figure out if we’re going digital, staying with print, or somehow merging the two (I’m using the term “we” as a collective whole here, including the Coast News Group). We’re like a group of geeky freshmen boys: smart and capable, yes, but equally hesitant and insecure. Frankly, I’m tired of having to “find ourselves.” I just want to chitchat about the news. The reason we’re even forced to consider the digital versus print debate is because of changing social demographics. In one camp, we have the older, more mature, “coffee and newsprint on my fingers” crowd. These folks have been with us since the beginning. They need a tangible piece of paper to touch, see and even smell, so as to absorb the whole experience. In the other camp, we have the technologically oriented folks. Having never picked up a paper before, these readers tap into the infinite realm of Internet news for their daily updates around the world. More often
ERIC MURTAUGH Outside Perspective than not, their attention span is comparable to that of a caffeinated flea. Headlines must be outrageously engaging and even provocative to capture their interest. If not, they’ll go elsewhere. And believe me, launching your product online is no easy task. These days, if you’re not updating your goods every five minutes or posting a live video to your live news coverage, you’re nothing but a bore. It brings the concept of remaining relative and current to a new level. How the hell are we supposed to keep up? So as the baby boomers pass away, and the kids crave more interaction online, newspapers are simply forced to cater to their customers. It seems straightforward enough, but most newspapers haven’t figured it out yet. Print is dying, if not dead. I have my good days and bad days when I contemplate the livelihood of my beloved profession. Just when I feel like we’re going to make it over this hump together as an industry, something else happens. For example, Warren Buffet, basically one of the richest guys in America, recently said he wouldn’t take over newspapers at any price these days. Thanks, Buff. We really appreciate the support. Sadly, a part of me understands exactly where he’s coming from. Nobody in their right mind would invest in such an unstable industry at the moment.

Taking time to celebrate Water for Sudan success By Promise Yee
RANCHO SANTA FE — Members of the Water for Sudan organization and Rancho Santa Fe Rotary gathered on June 29 to celebrate their progress in bringing clean drinking water to Sudan. The two organizations have teamed up for the past three years to raise money and awareness for the water project. To date, Water For Sudan has dug more than 45 wells that have each benefited villages of more than 1,000 residents. “Thank you so much for what you did,” Dep Tuany, vice president of Water For Sudan, said. “Because of your heartfelt donations you saved children’s lives. There’s nothing more noble than to save children’s lives.” Tuany lost a son to waterborne disease while he and his family struggled as Sudan refugees. Now a U.S. citizen, Tuany works with Water for Sudan to bring clean drinking

overseas by providing them with requested items such as toiletries, magazines, DVDs, snacks and phone cards. Tenney, 89, is a World War II prisoner of war who chronicled his experiences in an autobiography, “My Hitch in Hell: The Bataan Death March.” After hearing him speak at their school earlier this year, Ross Lucier, Hunter Ross, Dan Frye, Brett Buchanan, Karl Holmlund, Jason Anthony and Anthony Georgiades wanted to do more to help than simply pack boxes. In February they began forming Students to Soldiers, an all-student organization that would take over Tenney’s operations for the
summer. In addition to helping U.S. military men and women, the boys learned what it takes to run a business. “It’s definitely given me a better work ethic, staying on schedule and meeting our goals,” 17-year-old Ross said. “I definitely learned organizational skills and business skills,” 17-year-old Hunter said. “Every single part of this project works together to accomplish that one goal of sending out packages.” What the seven young SERVICE Students to Soldiers, a nonprofit organization that packs and entrepreneurs didn’t expect ships requested items such as toiletries, snacks and phone cards to U.S. to gain from the project was soldiers serving overseas, was founded by, from left, Encinitas resident a deeper appreciation for Ross Lucier, Dan Frye of Rancho Santa Fe, Hunter Ross, also from Encinitas, and four of their classmates at Santa Fe Christian High School. Their goal is to send 500 boxes this summer. Photo by Bianca Kaplanek
Defendant’s bail set at $10M for alleged role in hatchet attack By Randy Kalp
ESCONDIDO — A Border Patrol agent accused of hacking his estranged wife’s roommates with a hatchet was officially charged July 13 in a Vista courtroom with multiple felonies relating to the assault. Gamalier Reyes Rivera, 32, faces seven felony counts stemming from the early morning July 9 assault of a male and female, whose names have not been released, at their residence in the 800

At his arraignment, Rivera, of Imperial Beach, pleaded not guilty to charges of attempted murder, torture and aggravated mayhem relating to the male victim who is still hospitalized, as well as torture, aggravated mayhem and assault with a deadly weapon relating to the female victim who was treated for her injuries at the hospital and released. Additionally, Rivera
faces a single count of burglary. Superior Court Judge Marshall Hockett set Rivera’s bail at $10 million, saying he believed the defendant was a danger to the community. Rivera’s next scheduled court appearance is a July 23 readiness conference. His preliminary hearing is set for July 27. Escondido Police responded to the assault TURN TO HATCHET ON A18

SOLANA BEACH — With 176 participants on 21 teams, the July 11 Relay for Life raised $15,577.21 for the fight against cancer and those affected by it. During the 24-hour American Cancer Society event, which began at 9 a.m. at Earl Warren Middle School, one person from each team walked around the track at all times, symbolizing the reality that cancer never sleeps. “Every person’s reason for participating in the Relay for Life is unique and meaningful,” Mayor Mike Nichols and his wife, Heather, wrote on their Relay Web page. “(W)e wanted to honor our Aunt Valentine “Val” Parsel for the inspirational strength she has shown while fighting her own battle with breast cancer.” Nichols and his wife were captains of the event’s largest team, with 28 members.
HEART-FELT PARTICIPATION With 28 members, Team Valentine was the largest group to participate in the American Cancer Society Relay for Life at Earl Warren Middle School. Walkers included, from left, team captains Heather and Mike Nichols, the mayor and first lady of Solana Beach, Vanessa Ngoy, Gerri RetmanOpper, Vicki Cypherd and Ira Opper.

Prudy’s Pals, which had with $5,370, walked in dedi- ing memory of our dear the largest team donation cation “to the life and lov- friend, Prudy Caravelli.”
Caravelli passed away April 24, 2009, less than six months after being diagnosed with cancer. “Prudy was an important part of our family in the San Diego office of Brownstein Hyatt Farber Schreck,” Chris Frahm, captain of the18-member team, wrote. “She was a wonderful person —always happy (with a wicked sense of humor), highly competent and an absolute joy to work with. We miss her very much.” Relay for Life is an annual event that unites 3.5 million people in 5,000 communities across the country to celebrate those who have survived cancer, remember those who lost the battle and raise money to fight the disease. One in every 100 Americans participates in the event, which began in 1985 in Tacoma, Wash. The Solana Beach walk was hosted by the Chamber of Commerce.

Wine, cheese for charity RANCHO SANTA FE — It was another great turnout for the Fine Magazine V.I.P. Realtor Event June 18. More than 100 realtors were on hand to enjoy wine and appetizers and raise $2,800 for the evening’s sponsored charity, Just In Time. The mission of JIT is to help transitioning foster youths become productive adult members of society by providing resources, guidance and hope. According to JIT Representative, Diane Cox, when foster children turn 18, they are emancipated from the foster care system and turned into the real world with nothing more than a garbage bag full of clothes. Sometimes they get scholarships for college or subsidized housing, but basic essentials JIT acts as a surrogate family. Over 45 percent of foster kids become homeless, turn to crime or return to the cycle of abuse that they came from. JIT aims to change that per-
centage and give voice to an otherwise silent and overlooked population. Fine Magazine is the main sponsor of these monthly VIP parties that began as social mixers but have turned into industry philanthropic opportunities. On June 18, funds for JIT were raised by raffle tickets and live auctions. Raffle prizes included gift baskets, Padres tickets and a private chef’s dinner at Decanter. Items were donated by the following sponsors: Altenbern Insurance, the R.E.D. Team, Old Republic Home Protection, National Disclosure Source, Synergy Salon, Body Glove, Dr. Karam Carmel Valley Plastic Surgery, Decanter, Fine Magazine and Rio Sabadicci, creator of Vinturi wine aerators.

Rare muscle disorder causes severe pain DR. GOTT Second Opinion Dear Dr. Gott: I have had a condition since infancy that causes abnormal fatigue in the muscles. It was not diagnosed until June 2007, when I was 75. A muscle chemical biopsy showed that I have McArdle’s disease. The first reported case was in 1951. As far as I can tell, there has been very little research on this disease because it is so rare. There is also no treatment or cure. I am writing in the hopes that you or someone out there knows something about this condition that may be of use to me. My physical activities have steadily become more limited. Dear Reader: McArdle’s disease, also known as glycogen-storage disease type V, is a genetic disorder. It is caused when the body does not produce a specific enzyme used to make “fuel” for skeletal muscles. It commonly begins in young adulthood as exercise intolerance and muscle
cramping. Some patients may recall symptoms of muscle weakness, lack of endurance and muscle pain starting in early childhood or adolescence. Overall, it is considered to be a relatively benign disorder in that life expectancy is no different than that of other people. Symptoms include severe muscle pain and fatigue within the first few minutes of exercise. If continued, muscle spasms or contractures may develop. This causes muscle damage, which can result in myoglobinuria, a dark discoloration of the urine after exercise. This comes and goes, depending on the severity of the damage done during exercise. There is no treatment or cure, but there is some evidence that drinking a sugary beverage before exercise may reduce or prevent symptoms. Gentle aerobic exercise is important because it can help condition the muscles and improve performance and quality of life. Obesity must be avoided because it will decrease exercise capabilities and lead to worsened symptoms. Because muscle damage can cause kidney damage or TURN TO SECOND OPINION ON A14

New beginnings, my love for Ranch MACHEL PENN Machel’s Ranch I spent last night with my Mom and Dad in their fifth wheel in Oceanside. I wrote about them last year, my parents and their fifth wheel, and how much it reminds me of the farm I grew up on back in Missouri. I’m one of those sentimental types that hates to let go of anything. And, with two days until my wedding, I needed that one last night with my parents before crossing over the “threshhold.” My mind has been full of past roads that led to this one. I’m sort of at a loss for words due to all the emotion that is inside my heart. I have been so touched by my good friends and those I work with at this paper, I just want to share my gratitude to those who read my column. I would also like to share some of the ups and downs that led me to where I am now. Some of you know I have been married before.This will be my second time around. Most look at divorce as a failure. But for me, it has been the foundation for why I live in this community. Almost 10 years ago, my ex-husband and I moved from Los Angeles to Rancho Santa Fe. At the time, I was distraught over the move. We were still married and we had to move here for his career. I did not know anyone here. I was pregnant with Jackson and I felt so isolated and alone. When Jackson was born, my world was filled with his presence. I started to adapt to the quietness of the Ranch and the bright lights of L.A. faded with time. After my divorce from Jackson’s father, we remained good friends and placed our disagreements behind us for Jackson. My ex-husband remarried before me. He is still married to Jill.As a mother who now has a stepmother to a son, I am so lucky she is in my son’s life. Jill is kind to him and he just loves her, too. Seven years later, our lives have all moved forward with some heartache and hard times. Three years ago, my ex fell ill from spinal meningitis. Fortunately, he pulled through. Jill stood by his side during this hard time. Real love grows stronger during tough times. I felt so

guessed, that “one” turned out to be the man I am marrying this weekend. These last few years were not easy. They were sometimes tough and trying. Yet, thanks to wonderful friends, I managed to rebuild my heart, meet Robin, and fall in love with Rancho Santa Fe, too. Robin’s family has also been incredibly good to Jackson and me. I feel so blessed that they have accepted us both with open arms. Now I have a career with this paper. What I love about those I work with at the Rancho Santa Fe News is they are just the most wonderful group to be around. Always positive and upbeat, I am inspired by my peers. Everyone here is so passionate about what they do and how much they love The Coast News Group. Writing this column has been an incredible experience. I have met many more Ranch residents and discovered so many lovely stories under the eucalyptus trees, and I love it just as much as the rest of you locals. As I drove past the ocean this morning in Carlsbad, away from my parent’s fifth wheel, I remembered how I came to the Ranch. I remembered all of the roads that led CHEERS! Lara and Heather, the hottest bartenders in Rancho Santa me to this one. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for Fe. Photo by Machel Penn thankful that Jackson also had his stepmom. At this time, I was still single, dating only a little. I began to wonder if I would remarry again like my ex did. In the summer of 2007, my sister Tracy Chapman came out to see me. I was in the process of moving, so Jackson flew back to hang out with the grandparents in Iowa. While my sister was in California, I showed her all my hangouts — Mille Fleurs, the track, The Inn, and the Plaza in Del Mar. When my sister met Robin Shull (we were already friends), she simply said, “Why not that one, Machel?” As you might have
those who have been so good to me and have offered their friendship along the way. Life is not always easy or perfect. However, if you hold fast to your dreams, sometimes they happen … even if it’s a little later than expected.

Daytime drinking is a whole other beast CORY WATERHOUSE Doorman Diaries A day of drinking usually begins with a simple statement declaring, “Yes, I would like to tip a glass of Macallan instead of a cup of coffee, thank you.” Early boozing can start out fairly simply — a phone call from a friend you thought previously had plans. A daft pal you promised yourself you’d never spend time with again, only to give in. Alas, you have precious few irresponsible chums to go to the bar with you during the day. Now actually drinking liquor at 7 a.m. is the first sign of diminished capacity. No person in their right mind, excepting college students, blatant soaks and small town columnists, would actually want that swarthy warm cocktail before a jolting cup of Costa Rican Jose. But what path does that leave? You can’t actively recruit friends who have occupations drenched in responsibility and respect.You have to
have a quiet stealth about who you invite to your day of sipping daylight and massaging nightfall into your hip pocket. It isn’t for the meek. It’s also not for those who can’t ration themselves amidst the glaring sunshine. You have to exude absolute abandon and resolute control over yourself. Duality is your bitch ... if she so chooses. Because that’s the critical aspect of your journey: to recognize that which was once spoken by a big screen ginger queen, “control is an illusion.” You have no idea where your night is careening after you’ve drank away the sun’s rays. The second you think you’ve controlled your situation is the very instant you’ve lost control. One of the many unfortunate side effects of your day is that you’re most likely going to make a few poor culinary choices. A greasy burger here, a questionably odd-meated burrito there. Along with all the other pollutants you’re putting into your body, the food should also fit the punishment schedule. The most important point to realize is that the day

Online airline ticketing: convenient yet scary I have recently confirmed the existence of a new travelers’ malady that I’ve name flight-booking anxiety, or FBA. I thought perhaps I was the only one who experienced this disorder, but in conversations with a few people this week, I’ve confirmed that others (maybe most of us) suffer from the same problem. My friend is flying to Rio de Janeiro in a few days. It was a last-minute decision, so she went online last night to hunt for the best price for an airline ticket. She visited numerous discount sites — Priceline, Cheap Tickets, Orbitz, Hotwire, Expedia — as well as the airlines’ sites. “You name it,” she said. “I was there.” Finally, she made her decision for an $800 flight that will take her from San
Diego to Washington, D.C., to Rio de Janeiro. Then she had to finalize the decision. “Oh, my gosh,” she said. “I got such anxiety when I clicked on that button to purchase the ticket. I felt like I was signing my life away. Selling my soul. There was no going back.” All of this made her heart beat faster — one of the symptoms of FBA — and following that, my friend began agonizing over whether she had made the right choice. Could she really afford to go to Brazil for three weeks? Was she going to regret her deci-

Mr. “Chen” was on the ledge in May, according to an Agence France-Presse dispatch, but he couldn’t make up his mind about jumping.

If she had just purchased the ticket two days before, she told me, she could’ve saved at least $250. However, a particularly strong attack of FBA prevented her from making the commitment at that earlier time. I was sorry to hear that others suffer from the same problem I do, but I felt validated. Every time I click that “purchase” icon, it’s a nervewracking experience. My biggest fear is that something will happen and I’ll have to pony up another $100 or $200 to change my travel dates. It rarely happens, but not too long ago, it did. A relative we had
planned to visit died suddenly, so we decided to visit her husband a couple of weeks after the funeral when we thought he’d enjoy the company. I chickened out on calling the airlines to ask for a ticket change without charge. I sent in my daughter instead. She’s a miracle worker when it comes to negotiating. The airline employee on the other end of the phone grilled her about every detail –— even where my cousin’s obit appeared and the name of the funeral home. She was on hold a long time, so presumably they checked out all the details. In the end, my daughter got the dates changed without charge, so I owe her big. It’s also possible to bring on an FBA attack without even buying a plane ticket. Just bring up the subject

failure, it is important to be under the care of a physician familiar with McArdle’s disease. He or she can monitor the situation and give specific advice regarding diet and exercise. I also recommend you go online to the Muscular Dystrophy Campaign Web site at www.musculardystrophy.org for more information. Dear Dr. Gott: My husband is 84 years old and, for the past six years, he has experienced cold chills in his chest and other parts of his body. He wears thermal underwear all the time but is still always cold. His doctor told him that he is anemic but that he didn’t know what was causing it. What should we do? Dear Reader: If your husband is anemic, it is likely the cause of his constant chills. If his doctor is unwilling or unable to order further testing, request a referral to a hematologist (blood specialist). He or she should be able to determine the cause of the low red blood cell count and offer advice on treatment options. In the meantime,I suggest he begin taking iron supplements, since most anemia is due to a low iron level. He should start with a low dose of slow-acting iron to reduce the risk of constipation. Anemia can have many causes, including a low B-12 level, internal bleeding, cancer, low red blood cell production,a lack of a certain hormone, low levels of certain vitamins or minerals, and certain disorders that cause abnormal destruction of blood cells. Dear Dr. Gott: I was recently diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. My family practitioner sent me to a cardiologist at my request for a second opinion. My GP suggested I start warfarin and have an angiogram. The cardiologist says, “A-fib isn’t something that calls for an angiogram” and put me on warfarin and diltiazem. He is now telling me that I can do one of two things: have a transesophageal echocardiography followed by cardioversion (his preference), or I can stay on the medication for the rest of my life. I have no symptoms except for a fast pulse and some shortness of breath upon exertion. I am a 78-year-old retired nurse. I have no physical problems other than osteoarthritis. I also take losartan for high blood pressure, which is now stable at 120/80. What is you opinion on how I should proceed? Which physician should I listen to? Dear Reader: Atrial fibrillation is a heart disorder that causes an abnormally rapid, irregular heart rate; therefore, I believe your cardiologist is the best choice for treatment. Symptoms may not be noticeable in some sufferers but may include decreased

blood pressure, chest pain, shortness of breath, weakness, lightheadedness, confusion, fatigue, fainting and palpitations. If symptoms come and go, the condition is known as paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, whereas consistent symptoms denote chronic a-fib. There are several possible causes. The risk of developing this condition increases with age. Heart failure, coronaryartery disease, high blood pressure, heart attack, certain medications, heart-valve defects, hyperthyroidism,heart surgery and infections (especially of the heart) are common causes. In some cases, no cause can be found. This is known as lone atrial fibrillation, and serious complications are rare. Heart failure, stroke and blood clots are common complications of untreated a-fib, especially if other heart abnormalities are involved. Treatment is first aimed at any underlying condition that might have caused the atrial fibrillation,and resetting the heart’s rhythm back to normal and preventing blood clots from forming. The primary therapy is cardioversion. This can be done with medications or by shocking the heart with electricity. The cause, severity and how long the condition has been present all play a factor in which therapy is used. To reduce the risk of stroke and blood clots, anticoagulant medications such as warfarin are often prescribed for several weeks before the cardioversion is attempted and sometimes for several weeks afterward. Another option is transesophageal echocardiography, which is similar to an ultrasound of the heart except that the image is achieved by looking through the esophagus instead of the chest. In this way, a clearer image is available because the ribs are not in the way. Once a normal rhythm is achieved, medication may be prescribed to maintain it. If this doesn’t work, the cardiologist may recommend ablation, a procedure used to destroy the specific area within the heart that is causing the abnormal signals. It is also important to quit smoking, eat a low-fat, low-salt diet to reduce cholesterol and high blood pressure, and reduce alcohol intake to no more than one drink per day for women and two for men. Increased exercise can also help. Caffeine and other stimulants, such as those found in cold medicines, should also be avoided, as they can trigger an attack. Follow your cardiologist’s advice or seek out a second opinion from another cardiologist.

Chamber heaps praise on teachers ENCINITAS — Rancho Santa Fe Security Systems, Inc. hosted the Chamber’s annual Salute to Education to honor local students and teachers June 9. A large crowd of school administrators, teachers, students and their families gathered to celebrate the academic and professional achievements of Encinitas’ finest. Denise Mueller, of Rancho Santa Fe Security Systems, Inc., served as emcee of the event. As she has done for many years,Muller said she enjoyed watching the students and teachers recognized for their educational excellence. This year 16 students and 17 teachers were selected from
schools, both public and private, in the area. Muller introduced each recipient while they made their way through a long receiving line of school, district and city officials as well as Chamber of Commerce representatives. Among the teacher standouts was Lance Gomez. Gomez, Capri Elementary school’s Teacher of the Year, won praise for appealing to students and colleagues. He was described as a “dedicated and caring teacher who inspires children, connects with families and always makes time to share his successful strategies with his colleagues.” Gomez also won the 2009
Teachers are Heroes Award from 94.9 FM and the San Diego County Office of Education for integrating Service Learning into instruction. Gomez’s second grade class runs a popcorn company, which pops and sells popcorn after school each week and uses the proceeds to make a difference for children around the world. Children learn math, social studies, and leadership, while developing strong character traits like caring, trustworthiness and responsibility in the classroom through the experience. The recipients of the student awards were not only academically
advanced, but showed leadership and collaboration skills. Several were recognized for their service to others. Megan Black of St. John the Evangelist was among those honored for her volunteer efforts. She has led efforts to support San Diego Kid’s News Day, Red Ribbon Week and various fundraisers that have netted more than $2,000 for children in need. The Grauer School chose eighth-grader Stewart Wirick as the recipient of Student of
the year in his age division. Wirick’s impressive achievements reflect his well-rounded interests and personality. His school year included winning the Grauer School’s Spelling Bee, the Sweepstakes Award at the San Diego County Science Fair and taking home first place at the California Science Fair. While Wirick is a strong student with two honors classes in his schedule, he is also a talented musician, natural outdoorsman and a humanitarian.

New CEO takes helm of Encinitas chamber
Several board members resigned within the last months and longtime contractor Mike Andreen, who was responsible for bringing in new members and marketing, has launched a new chamber this week focused on the businesses within the El Camino Real corridor. As a self-described “people person,” Weinreb said one of his main objectives is to “offer a truce.” “All differences can be resolved when we are working towards the common good,” Weinreb said. “We should put personal differ-
ences aside to make this the best business climate possible.” Several business and civic organizations exist to support the five communities that comprise the city. Weinreb said he wants to understand what the needs are in each business community to help the city thrive as a whole. “We’re trying to redefine partnerships,” he said. “At the end of the day we’re all part of the same community.” Weinreb said his background as an entrepreneur and high-level executive
prepares him for the challenges that lay ahead in restoring confidence in the chamber. The native New Yorker moved to La Costa in 1999, after two decades in Dallas, Texas. He retired in 2005 to care for his wife, Marcia, who succumbed to a long-fought illness recently. Chamber president Ken Gross said Weinreb will oversee the organization’s implementation of adding “value” to what the members receive. “We take what the businesses can’t afford to do and help them achieve it,” he said. Gross cited the marketing efforts of the chamber on behalf of its members. “Through the Encinitas First publication, our Sundowner events and the Web site, we help businesses reach potential customers without spending a huge amount of their budgets on marketing,” he said. Weinreb will also oversee the visitor’s center, which is operated by the chamber with partial funding from the city’s general fund. Gross said a manager will be appointed specifically to handle visitors center business. City Council recently renewed the city’s annual contract to fund the center to the tune of approximately $80,400.
spaces to be used and shared by the school, Fire Department, Association and Inn. After much consideration, the architectural firm of Hanna Gabriel Wells was hired to develop initial plans for the site. In addition to the patrol facility, plans call for underground parking, with 85 spaces below and 74 on top. Early estimates put the cost at approximately $4.7 million. The Association would own the patrol facilities building and be entitled to 15 parking spaces for $2.5 million. The Rancho Santa Fe School would pay $600,000 and be entitled to
parking spaces for teachers and staff. The Fire Department would be allocated 35 spaces and would pay $1.6 million. “Sharing this makes this a win/win situation,” Beckman said. There were others attending the meeting, however, who felt differently, including new board Director Jack Queen. “This is a solution looking for a problem,” he said. “This is driven by the needs of the Fire Department.” Ranch resident Gorden Larsen agreed and offered his solution. “Do nothing.” The majority of those attending the meeting, however, disagreed. “Doing noth-
ing is not an option,” Carlie Headapohl, the school board president, said. “We have explored countless options. This is by far the most viable option. I give great thanks to The Inn.” “Doing nothing doesn’t solve the problem,” board Director Tom Lang said. “To come up with an entity for all four groups is hard. It has earned the right to proceed.” Should the project move forward, the financing and approval would need to be completed by September 2010 and construction would begin in October 2010. Completion and occupancy is anticipated to be June 2011.
also save money by no longer having to rekey the building, which it does every four to six years. Although the board had the option of wiring the school and adding the system later, board member Jim Cimino said it may be better to “do it right the first time.” “Doing it right the first time costs money,” his colleague Jim Depolo said. Seeing board members struggling to make decisions on that and some other items, Christensen offered to decrease his company’s construction contingency by nearly 1 percent, which allowed the board to adopt all the upgrades except the field, which they said could be installed after the project is completed. The contingency is a fund used by the general contractor to cover costs for items that may have been missed during the bidding process. “I’m that comfortable with my team’s evaluation of
all the bids,” Christensen said. “My boss will probably kill me though.” Although the board unanimously approved the upgrades, President Carlie Headapohl didn’t support eliminating the field. She said the field would benefit the entire community more so than some of the other items in terms of use and aesthetics. “I think most people would value the field over windows,” she said. Headapohl said she was also concerned about applying all available funds to upgrades since any project has the potential to run over budget. Board members said they could always eliminate items such as cast-in-place concrete benches, enhanced concrete paving with color and etching and decorative steel fencing that will be installed in lieu of chain link. Other upgrades that were approved include a twopiece clay tile roof, corbels under the walkway cover, cus-
tom solid wood doors on the administration and multipurpose buildings and some additional shrubbery. The value engineering, or VE, items were included in the original construction estimate at a base price. Had the construction estimate come in at $3.4 million or higher, those upgrades could have been eliminated without affecting the function or major aesthetics of the buildings, Christensen said. “The VE process is a sound approach to building a project,” he said. “It allows the school district to control the budget.” With soft costs such as permits, engineering and architectural fees, desks and other furnishings, the total cost is now estimated at $39.5 million. The old school has been demolished and construction crews are on schedule to meet an Aug. 19 deadline for teachers to move into temporary portables for the upcoming school year.

ENCINITAS — The Chamber of Commerce has its third CEO in as many years with the hiring of Marshall Weinreb. His contract began July 1, with an annual salary of $40,000 and bonus incentives to be reviewed annually. Weinreb’s appointment comes five months after the abrupt resignation of former CEO Gary Tucker, who served in the position for approximately two years. In Tucker’s resignation letter sent to the board Jan. 23, he cited declining revenue from returning members, loss of faith in the board’s leadership and the executive committee’s refusal to follow the bylaws of the organization as reasons for his departure. Weinreb, 66, said he is familiar with the lingering doubts and hard feelings some have expressed about the chamber. He said it is part of what intrigued him about the position. “I want to uncover where the problems stem from,” he said. “There is an opportunity to bring a new level of cohesiveness and understanding between all of the relevant players.” Weinreb’s task of repairing damaged relationships won’t be an easy one.

needs of all the groups.” The proposed site, located near Linea del Cielo and Inn Cottage Road, is owned by The Inn and currently houses a parking facility and tennis court. The Inn is donating the land, asking in return for the same number of parking spaces and permission for guests to use the tennis courts at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Course. A 3,000-square-foot patrol facility will be a presence in the village, which will hopefully be a deterrent to crime. The land will also accommodate 159 parking

matched other buildings in the community. Most approved of spending $350,000 for aluminum-clad windows that will match those at the golf club. Board members all liked the idea of installing an integrated building system that would allow communication among all electronic devices. By making the new school a “smart” building, things such as air conditioning, heat and lighting could be controlled via computer. It would save money in the long run and provide a security enhancement by allowing a complete lockdown in seconds. It currently takes about 90 minutes to open and close the school. Remote access would also eliminate the need for someone to unlock and lock restrooms for community groups that use the field and facility after hours.The district would

Suddenly, as Sohail recounted, the robber dropped to his knees, crying and begging. When the robber spontaneously even offered to convert to Islam on the spot, Sohail tossed $40 at him and sent him on his way.

A News of the Weird Classic (January 2002)
Transsexual Tammy Lynn Felbaum (formerly Tommy Wyda), 43, was found guilty in December 2001 of manslaughter in the February death of her sixth husband, James Felbaum, from a botched castration. Tammy initially said James castrated himself, then admitted she did it but only at James’ written request. The Butler County, Pa., judge reached his decision based on evidence that Tammy had pressured James into the removal as punishment for James’ recent affair, and on testimony from one of Tammy’s earlier spouses, Lynn (formerly Tim) Barner, who let Tammy castrate her (formerly him) because she was an “expert.” Said Barner, “(Tammy) could castrate a dog in less than five minutes.” Tammy was also known in the community for her career as a stripper, specializing in crushing soda cans between her breasts.

The Association will continue to monitor the trees and seek solutions to this difficult problem. “The trees are an important part of our history and lifestyle here, so we need to stay on top of this,” President Bill Beckman said.

Special pricing — Limited time only! *19-0312 Consolidated Supplemental Readership Study The Circulation Verification Council interviewed 431 residents in the primary market areas indicated in publication’s CVC audit report. The purpose was to identify the number of residents who indicate they receive the publication on a regular basis, identify the number of residents who read or look through the publication, and gather readership study information useful for advertising purchase decisions. Market statistics estimates appearing in CVC reports are obtained from EASI Software 2009. The population studied consisted of adults age 18 and over, living in households within the survey area. Within this area, each household and each adult within the household had a known (or “non-zero”) probability of being selected for the sample. Interviews were conducted solely with pre-designated respondents and no substitutions were permitted. The verification and readership study took place throughout the audit cycle between the hours of 5:30 PM and 8:30 PM and 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM. Initial interview attempts were spread evenly across all survey days (i.e., Tuesday through Saturday). A minimum of 250 completed interviews is required with no more than one interview per household. Interview Procedures: To ensure the highest degree of comparability and to facilitate the auditing process, a standard, consistent, specified list of interview questions was asked. Interviews were conducted by CVC with supervision, interview training, and monitoring capabilities. Interviews were conducted over a minimum period of four weeks to minimize the impact of weather and/or special news stories. Every effort was made to ensure that interviews were assigned randomly by day and that an approximately equal number of interviews were completed on each interviewing day. Where appropriate, data was balanced and/or weighted by ZIP code using up-to-date known demographics: gender, age, number of adults in household and ethnicity in those cases where one minority comprised no less than ten percent of the total population. Non?responses to any single question were eliminated from the survey. In all cases, at least six attempts were made to contact all pre-designated respondents. The telephone rang a minimum of six times each time a number was dialed before the attempt was classified as a “no answer.” Each number was dialed at different times and, as necessary, on different days. Every effort was made to surmount language, cultural, behavioral and other barriers to a successful interview; and to the extent feasible, callbacks were scheduled on a random basis. At least one callback attempt per respondent was made on a weekend. During the interview process, no questions were asked prior to the newspaper readership question, with the exception of a qualifying question designed to determine the ZIP code of recipient residence; and general warm-up questions designed to put the respondent at ease. Warm-up questions did not include any reference to the publication itself or the nature of the study. This study followed recommended guidelines developed in part from the Advertising Research Foundation (ARF) newspaper readership guidelines. Survey totals may not equal 100% due to rounding. The Circulation Verification Council estimates that all the information in this survey has a maximum error margin of +/-2.5 (at the 95% confidence level).

While Loyd said he couldn’t go into further details about the attack, he did say the assault was done with “callousness and indifference.” Authorities have said Rivera may have mistaken the female victim for his estranged wife.

Chief finance officer gets 18 years for fraud By Randy Kalp
SAN MARCOS — Annette Yeomans lived like the rich and famous, but unfortunately she was neither and will now spend nearly two decades behind bars for embezzling millions from her San Marcos employer. Yeomans, 51, was sentenced July 6 to 18 years in prison in accordance with her plea agreement. The chief financial officer for Quality Woodworks in San Marcos, Yeomans pleaded guilty in June to 10 counts
relating to the embezzlement of $9.9 million from 2001 to 2008. She admitted to nine counts of forgery and one count of filing a false state tax form. Additionally, two allegations—aggregating losses that exceeded $2.5 million and aggravated white collar crime—were attached to the charges. Prior to her plea, she had faced 108 felony charges.

New face in 2010 50th District Congress race By Gideon Marcus
COAST CITIES — Tracy Emblem, a writs and appeals attorney from Escondido, has entered the race for California’s 50th Congressional District. While her name may not be as recognizable as those of incumbent Brian Bilbray or perennial Democratic candidate Francine Busby, Tracy Emblem believes the time is right for a dark horse to challenge both of the big parties’ favorite candidates in 2010. “We’ve got to have leadership up there,” Tracy Emblem said. “A representative works for all the people, not just their party people, their special interests.” Running as a Democrat, Tracy Emblem favors a balanced budget and said she
will target government waste in Iraq, subsidies for nonproducing farmers and companies that ship job overseas. Emblem also pointed out that California pays more in federal taxes than it receives in federal aid, effectively subsidizing o t h e r states. She said that she would try to fix this imbalance. “I’m going to work really hard to TRACY EMBLEM bring back our share of our funds to San Diego County,” Tracy Emblem said. “The

Hundreds of residents donned red, white, and blue attire and turned their vintage cars, tractors, trucks, and even golf carts into Independence Day floats for a spectacular parade through the streets of the village. Highlights included a color guard, horseback riders, a swarm of kids on bicycles, and of course the dozens of resident-created floats and displays. The event was sponsored by the Rancho Santa Fe Polo Club and the Rancho Santa Fe Association.

The book includes something for every dog and its owner - from urban walking trails and mountain hikes to canine-friendly businesses. Lawrence said she doesn’t have a favorite hiking trail, but highly recommended one in Los Peñasquitos that features a three-mile level path and waterfalls. “It’s very picturesque,” she said.

Toddler torture jury hung: no death penalty for killer By Randy Kalp
ESCONDIDO — For now, Jose Maurice Castaneda will not be executed for the murder of his girlfriend’s toddler son; however, the mistrial July 6 in the death penalty phase of his case has done little to lift the sadness he feels for Cesar Razo’s death, his attorney said. Attorney Allen Bloom said his client loved the 2year-old Cesar Razo like his own son. “He’s adamantly and repeatedly stated he did not kill that little boy or hurt that little boy,” the lawyer said during a phone interview following the court’s ruling. “There’s no happy ending in any of this.

Police called on Democrat fundraiser ■ Candidate:
may have been partisan attack By Wehtahnah Tucker
CARDIFF-BY-THESEA — The situation that has this usually quiet coastal community up in arms continues to evolve as some are questioning the motivation behind a recent 911 call complaining about a “loud Democratic rally with loudspeakers” at a home in the 1300 block of Rubenstein Avenue. Francine Busby, a Democratic candidate for the 50th Congressional District, was indeed holding a fundraiser June 26 at the home of Shari Barman and her partner, Jane Stratton. However, attendees’ version of the event differs widely from the Sheriff’s Department report. Guests claim the event wasn’t noisy. The only amplified sound was Busby’s speech, which lasted approximately 20 minutes and ended about 8:30 p.m. A heckler was heard from behind trees and bushes that border the northwest corner of the property shouting profanities at Busby and the group of approximately 50 people. Three neighbors in the immediate vicinity of the hosts’ home said they were not disturbed by noise that evening. In fact, one homeowner said he was unaware of any activity until he heard a helicopter overhead. Sheriff’s deputies responded to the noise complaint at 9:12 p.m., according to the report. “By the time the deputies arrived, at least two-thirds of the guests had either gone home or were leaving,” Busby said. The report gives Deputy Marshall Abbott’s side of his confrontation with Barman, who was later arrested on suspicion of battery and obstruction of a police officer.

Group gives autism patients new ‘leash’ on life By Bianca Kaplanek
RANCHO SANTA FE — More than 125 people gathered at the Del Mar Country Club on July 8 to help raise money for Leash-on-Life, a nonprofit organization that trains service dogs for placement with children with autism. Guest speaker Temple Grandin, an author and a Colorado State University professor who holds a doctorate in animal science, discussed the emotional needs of animals and her life with autism. Before speaking, Grandin autographed copies of her books, “Animals Make Us Human” and “Animals in Translation.” Rebecca Cook also shared the story of her life as the mother of an autistic child. Her daughter, Jolena Gonzalez, was diagnosed with autism when she was 3 years old. Cook said she was continuously told there wasn’t much that could be done to make her life easier. That was until December 2007, when Jolena became the first recipient of a Leashon-Life autism service dog — a black Labrador retriever

In addition to voting to support the lawsuit, the San Diego Chapter of the California Native Plant Society made a major financial contribution to help cover litigation costs. The county contends this habitat-clearing project is the best way to reduce fire risk. “Often using out-ofdate information, San Diego County has focused money and effort on removing massive amounts of vegetation –

The 29-year-old homosexual was shot on duty in a Camp Pendleton guard shack June 30. The vigil was a joint effort of the Department of Defense Federal Globe, an organization dedicated to protecting the rights of the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender military community, and the North County LGBT Coalition. “What we’re doing today is we’re bringing the community together to honor a gay man who was murdered in our community,” event organizer Lisa

Well, the summer’s half over. I know this because I have cleaned up half of my garden. Just between you and me, I got a slightly critical note from the Homeowner’s Association suggesting my front yard wasn’t up to snuff. Don’t you just feel like trailer trash when that happens? Did they notice my cunning hanging baskets by the front windows or the charming arrangement of potted plants, mostly still alive, and the tasteful yet quirky garden critter ornaments that lead up to the front door? Oh no. Did they appreciate my feng shui chimes and bells? Heck no. Do I get credit for saving the big hedge, between my house and the neighbors, from white fly infestation a few years ago? No, it’s all about right now with them. Tsk. Actually, I got off fairly easy. It wasn’t the entire yard they were unhappy with, but rather a small, annoying plot on the east side of our driveway. It’s a spot that everyone sees except me. The high car count in and around my driveway (children and children’s friends) keep that corner hidden from my usual path. Weeds have a way of springing up over there and I simply can’t keep up with them. You carefully pull them out by the roots and six months later, bam, there they are again. I don’t want to overreact, but I did take the “You are a loser with a horrible front yard” note seriously and set out to make amends. I needed the exercise anyway. Besides, weeding isn’t bad when you want to release some stress. Based on that, you’d think I’d be walking the neighborhood looking for other people’s weeds to yank. However, when you set out to dig up every single, solitary weed no matter how teeny, this 10-footby-20-foot corner of the yard suddenly looks like hell’s half-acre. I crawled around on my hands and knees, getting therapeutically muddy and bringing death to all uninvited plants.

Locals offer input to help improve Fiesta del Sol By Bianca Kaplanek
SOLANA BEACH — Several dozen people gathered June 30 at City Hall to evaluate this year’s Fiesta del Sol and discuss ways to improve the annual Solana Beach event. Resident Gerri Retman suggested holding such a workshop at the April 22 City Council meeting, during which she and a handful of other residents voiced concerns “about the very same complaints that come up every year.” Some issues raised included the cost and placement of nonprofit booths, the event’s apparent loss of focus on the community and a decline in the quality of food, retail and craft vendors. Retman and Peter Zahn, vice president of the Chamber of Commerce, which hosts the event with support from the city, said the workshop was productive, giving people an opportunity to offer positive and negative comments as well as suggestions. But Retman said she was skeptically optimistic. “It was a worthwhile meeting,” she said. “There was a lot of great feedback and good ideas. But the proof is in the pudding. I don’t want to be negative. I have hope that there will be changes made.” Zahn said the chamber is open to implementing changes, but he said more volunteers are needed to make them happen. Retman didn’t disagree, describing the event as a “huge undertaking.” As chairwoman of the city’s Parks and Recreation Commission, she said she coordinates several events annually so she can appreciate the amount of work and number of volunteers that go into the two-day festival. She suggested the chamber might want to completely revamp the event and then heavily promote it as such. She said an improved Fiesta del Sol could attract more volunteers. “I think you get more involvement with a better event,” she said.
Hatchbacks, wagons: some good, some not
Specific ideas that were presented included adding a juried art show as an incentive for local artists to display their work during Fiesta del Sol. Retman and others have said many artists don’t want to participate in the event because it doesn’t attract a crowd that is necessarily shopping for fine art. Also suggested was an area or areas devoted to local
businesses and restaurants as a way to showcase to out-oftown visitors what the city has to offer. “By using the event to promote local businesses, people might choose to stay longer or come back later,” Retman said. Retman also said providing an area where local restaurants could offer samples might be a good idea. She said other cities
require that a certain percentage of booths are rented to local businesses or area merchants are given priority for booth placement. In response to some of the issues raised at the April 22 council meeting, the chamber provided booths to nonprofit groups for a discounted rate of $75 and relocated some of them to different areas for increased exposure.

know it lowers the risk of dementia? In fact, medical researchers have done studies, that the complex dance steps, moving to the rhythm of the music, and social benefits are attributed to lowering the risk of dementia and Alzheimer. Dancing also works with the number 1 muscle group that keeps you the youngest. Your LEGS!!! Staying active
and keeping your legs in good condition, add years onto your life. Many people who cease to be active at an older age retire into assisted living because they are no longer mobile, and their muscles atrophy causing them to grow older faster. Ballroom dancing is not only fun but it helps keep you around to take pleasure in life longer and most
importantly, happier. Not only does ballroom dancing help your mental health, it also helps with overall health as well. So many people are looking for the “Next, New” trend for working out, and looking great. From Richard Simmons on up to the now popular “Core Rhythm”(which was created by ballroom dancers) one thing has

Stickup man strikes out with third conviction for 3 robberies, 1 failed By Randy Kalp
OCEANSIDE — A San Diego Superior Court jury convicted a 51-year-old man July 8 relating to a string of 2007 North County robberies. Juan Vasquez Flores was found guilty of two counts of second degree robbery, one count of attempted robbery with the enhancement that he discharged a revolver during the crime and one count of a felon in possession of a firearm. The two robbery charges stem from the June 26, 2007, hit on the Carmel Valley Market in San Diego and the hold up of the Primo Market in Oceanside on June 29, 2007. The attempted robbery charge is related to the July 12, 2007, robbery of La Fiesta Market in San Marcos, which led to the arrest of Flores and his alleged accomplice, Enrique Valdez, after a high speed chase ensued on Highway 78 and Interstate 5. Valdez, 26, pleaded guilty to five counts of robbery and one count each of attempted robbery and

evading officers prior to the start of the duo’s January 2008 preliminary hearing. Flores had been charged with nine more robberies; however, a lack of identifying witnesses, as well as poor surveillance images, led the prosecutor to dismiss those charges at the preliminary hearing. Prosecutors believe the robberies may have started in February 2007, according to court documents. Because this conviction netted him his third strike, Flores faces up to life in prison when he is sentenced later this summer. Flores was convicted in 1982 of two attempted robberies relating to a Chula Vista hotel and the now shuttered Paddock Restaurant in Encinitas, and the second degree robbery of Village Café in Vista at gunpoint. In the subsequent years, he racked up convictions for assault and weapon charges. In 2007, he was arrested for possessing methamphetamines.

My next workout set involved a trip to the garden store, where I pulled, tugged and schlepped four large bags of wood chips into my cart and car, hefting them again once home.

OCEANSIDE — Holocaust survivor Sol Berger shared his experiences with children through art at the Oceanside Museum of Art Family Day on July 5. A tile-painting project followed his talk with the young audience. “For young people to hear such a difficult message and have some place to express themselves is a wonderful function of art,” Skip Paul, executive director of Oceanside Museum of Art, said. Ninety-year-old Berger shared his stories of escaping from the Nazis and hiding in the forest for 14 months before he met and married his wife and they relocated to Italy, England and finally, the United States in 1950. “Things were good for me here in the United States,” Berger said. “Freedom of movement, freedom of thought and the possibility of education.” Children gathered around art tables following the lecture to decorate tiles. Some painted cheerful scenes of their family after listening to Berger describe his family, while other children painted buildings decorated with peace signs where Holocaust survivors were hiding. The tiles created during Family Art Day will be fired and displayed as part

of the “Fabric of Survival” exhibit, which is a collection of hand-sewn tapestries by Esther Nisenthal Krinitz that depict the Holocaust. The lecture by Berger brought history to life for many listeners. “It characterizes it to see a real person and hear a real story,” Kristina Thill of Vista said. It took Berger 55 years
before he started to share his story of survival. “It was not easy to tell my story,” Berger said, “The pain was great.” Berger began telling people about the Holocaust after his brother, who also was a survivor and worked at the Museum of Tolerance in Los Angles, was diagnosed with cancer. His brother urged him to tell people what happened.
“I tell the story because what happened between 1933 and 1945 should never happen again,” Berger said. A second tile-painting day will take place on Family Art Day on Aug. 2. Family Art Days are sponsored by the Leichtag Foundation. For more information on the “Fabric of Survival” exhibit and related events, visit www.oma-online.org.

a family. Lucky for Greg, he married Laurel Manganelli, whose family owned the campground store at San Elijo State Beach. He saw an opportunity to create a unique spot that totally reflects the vibe of the Cardiff coast with his gourmet twist on street tacos and an eclectic mix of brilliant culinary randomness. Let me give you the street taco breakdown first. There are the standard chicken, beef, pork and veggie tacos for $1.50. I should add that the pork, or carnitas, is braised for three hours so it’s quite spectacular. Then they get a little gourmet on us with the duck and oyster tacos for $2.50. On next to the king crab and
lobster tacos priced at $5 and, get this, abalone or foie gras tacos for $10. The day we were there Greg had a stash of sweetbreads and frog legs and hooked us up with each. The menu changes but you can keep up with what they have going on fresh on their Facebook page. OK, so back to the food. The ceviche is unreal, with big chunks of lobster, crab and some moist halibut. Burritos, tortas and some really good mussels are also available. The big surprise came when Greg busted out the whole, head-still-on, deepfried catfish in a sweet ponzu sauce. This dish has developed a cult following and I can see why. Big, moist, chunky hunks of fish are perfect on their own or in a selfmade fish taco. I love stuff
like this. He also mentioned quail makes an occasional appearance so I demanded he call me when that happened. We also discovered our mutual lust for cassoulet and decided when the weather cooled down a bit to bust that out also. Remember, this is a small carry-out grill attached to a campground general store serving what Greg calls “recession gourmet” in one of the most amazing locations ever. Don’t go to Bull Taco in a hurry because unless there is nobody there, you will have to wait a bit for your food. That is totally understandable given the size of the kitchen and really, is it that difficult to wait a few minutes in paradise? Check out the campers and surfers, or just soak in the most excel-

$24,730 for the Chevy HHR. All vehicles in the test proved to have average or better reliability in CR. All vehicles in the test group are recommended by CR except for the Insight. CR only recommends vehicles that have performed well in its tests, have at least average predicted reliability based on CR’s Annual Car Reliability Survey of its more than seven million print and web subscribers, and performed at least adequately if crash-tested or included in a government rollover test. CR’s other findings include: • The Honda Insight, cannot be recommended because of its low scores in CR’s tests. • The wagon version of the Volkswagen Jetta, $24,324 MSRP as tested, combines good driving dynamics and versatility with excellent fit and finish. The Jetta SE is powered by a 170-hp, 2.5-liter, five-cylinder engine that delivers average performance but got only 23 mpg overall in CR’s fuel economy tests. • The Elantra Touring wagon, $19,475 MSRP as tested, is fairly roomy and versatile, with a nicely finished interior and lots of amenities for the money. The Touring’s ride is noticeably stiffer than the sedan’s ride, with some sharp impacts. • The Mazda3, $20,700 MSRP as tested, has been one of CR’s top-scoring small cars for several years, distinguished by agile handling and a good-quality interior that is laid out well. The Mazda3 had a firm, compliant ride that provided good isolation from everyday road bumps and delivers 25 mpg overall. • The Pontiac Vibe, $19,085 MSRP as tested, is versatile, fuel-efficient, and reasonably priced. The Vibe’s ride is compliant but not very steady. Bumps create side-to-side rocking and even the highway ride can feel choppy. It gets 29 mpg overall. • The Chevrolet HHR, $24,730 MSRP as tested, plays to 1950s design nostalgia but one drawback to its retro styling is the small and short windows, which inhibit the view out. It gets 24 mpg overall. Bumps are absorbed quite well, but the deep ruts and ridges come through as rubbery kicks.

Abbott used his pepper spray because he felt threatened by guests who surrounded him, according to the report. Despite repeated requests, Sheriff Bill Gore has refused to release the officer’s report and the 911 transcripts or tapes, citing an ongoing internal investigation into the incident. Busby said she is concerned about the misinformation in the deputy’s report and the sheriff’s press statement. She also said there are lingering questions that should be answered about the person who made the initial call. “I think it’s important to know what the caller actually said and the tenor of the conversation,” Busby said. While she said it wasn’t necessary to determine the name of the person who called 911 rather than the non-emergency number, Busby said the caller’s motivation is suspect. “The fact that there was no noise and this was a noise complaint makes me want to know what motivated the deputies to act on this information,”she said. “I think there are a lot of questions left unanswered,” she said. The Sheriff’s Department did not give Busby a timeframe for the internal investigation when she met with representatives last week. “They did say that they will not be reporting any information unless action is taken,” she said. “I want to know how this happened, why this happened and to make sure it doesn’t happen again,” Busby said.

In addition to the murder of Cesar Razo, Castaneda was convicted of a single felony count each of assaulting a child under the age of 8 that resulted in death, torture and child abuse with the allegation of great bodily injury, all of these charges were related to the young boy. The jury also found Castaneda guilty of a lesser including charge of misdemeanor child abuse relating to Cesar Razo’s sister, who was 5 at the time. However, the panel acquitted him on a felony torture charge in connection with the young girl. Castaneda and the boy’s mother, Maria Razo, 27, took Cesar Razo to the Palomar Medical Center around 4:40 p.m. June 25, 2005, telling the staff the unconscious toddler fell from a playground swing set. Cesar Razo was pronounced dead shortly after his arrival. Doctors found more than 354 external bruises and marks on his body. He died of two blows, one to his stomach and the other to the back of his head, according to the autopsy report.

and purses with her embezzled earnings over the seven years that she turned her home’s fourth bedroom into a walk-in closet that cost approximately $25,000 to refurbish, Armitage said. “The new closet had a granite covered center island, crystal chandelier and a 32-inch plasma TV.” In Yeomans’ last month of employment, February
2008, Quality Woodworks did not have enough money for the owners to draw a paycheck; however, she continued writing fraudulent checks for her own personal use. Further, during the last two years of her employment, she proposed that the company could not afford giving out any raises to its 58 employees and actually had to lay off employees due to the loss in profits.
In April 2008, Quality Woodworks entered into an out of court civil settlement agreement with Yeomans and her husband, John, the affidavit states. Most of the Yeomans’ material possessions were offered to the owners to help pay back part of Annette Yeomans’ debt. John Yeomans was never criminally charged in the case.
that, particularly in border counties, racial prejudice often drives anti-immigrant sentiment. “People forget that the Chinese and the Irish were immigrants,” Tracy Emblem said. “They built our railroads and our infrastructure. We’ve always depended on immigrants to build our country.” Tracy Emblem said she opposes illegal immigration but supports some sort of recognition and taxation for immigrants already in the country who are working and have set down roots.This would increase government revenues and prop up the sagging housing market, she added. On civil rights issues,Tracy Emblem supports the separation of church and state and equality in marriage but characterized “culture war” issues
as a sideshow. “I’m hoping that in the next couple of years we get some of these divisive hate issues out of the way and we move onto real issues,” Tracy Emblem said. No Democratic candidate has won the 50th District since it was created in 2000, but the Emblem staff is optimistic. Bilbray only won by 5 points in 2008, and Emblem is confident his support is eroding. Tracy Emblem’s daughter and campaign manager, Erin Emblem, said the key swing votes are in the inland urban centers. They are lower-income conservatives who, nevertheless, voted for Barack Obama in 2008; issues voters who want a strong leader, not the same old politicos from the coast, Erin Emblem said. “I’m definitely not going
to be in the rank and file,” said Tracy Emblem. “I’m very outspoken. That’s probably why the party is pushing my primary opponent.” This fresh-faced approach applies to the Emblem campaign staff as well. In addition to tapping her daughter to run the campaign, Tracy Emblem has specifically recruited interns with short political resumes. “With a contested Democratic primary,it’ll be a lot better for our squad to bring in fresh faces and youth so we don’t have to worry about anyone contaminating our files,” Erin Emblem said. What the interns may lack in political connections, they make up for in enthusiasm. Kevin Kraus, a college student from Orange County, hopes to take lessons learned in this
race to topple an incumbent back home. Rancho Bernardobased Hailey Eklund is proud to be part of a broad political movement. “Just the fact that Obama’s in office, I think it represents change,” Ecklund said. “So we should change this place around and make it less conservative and more democratic.” Tracy Emblem’s staff does not consist solely of amateurs, however. Erin Emblem was a field manager for the California Democratic Party, and highprofile consultant Steve Ybarra will be on the team as well. Tracy Emblem’s own career in state politics goes back to the mid-1990s. More information on the Tracy Emblem campaign is available at tracyemblemforcongress.com.
background and both had cared for kids prior to the incident. Throughout the trial, Bloom pointed toward Maria Razo saying her deep depression and family background, one of corporal punishment, may account for the explosion she unleashed on her son that morning before Castaneda came home from work. Bloom said by the time Castaneda arrived home around 12:30 p.m., one of his roommates was also home at their Escondido apartment on Bear Valley Parkway, and that male roommate testified he didn’t hear any crying or violent beating that afternoon. “It’s just a huge mystery what happened,” Bloom said. Maria Razo will be sentenced to 16 years and eight months in prison Aug. 21 for her role in the death of her son and the abuse that was inflicted on her two children. She
pleaded guilty to voluntary manslaughter and two counts of felony child abuse with the allegation that she inflicted great bodily injury in June 2007. In addition to the prison sentence, she will have three strikes and will be deported back to Mexico. Both Castaneda and Razo were found to be living in the country illegally. Castaneda came to San Diego County from Guatemala when he was 13,after his father died, to help provide for his mother, Bloom said. His mother, Dominga, and grandfather, Marcos, were in attendance throughout much of the trial. Throughout the case, prosecutors shed light on another side of Castaneda. They portrayed him as young man suffering from dual personalities. In her closing arguments, Deputy District Attorney Lucy Weismantel said at times
Castaneda could be a friend and father figure, but when things didn’t go his way he turned to evil, which can be seen in the torture and killing of Cesar Razo. Following the mistrial, Deputy District Attorney Keith Watanabe, who co-prosecuted the case, said in a phone interview his office hasn’t made a decision whether to retry the death penalty phase. If they do, he said all the charges would
stand and the new jury would just be tasked with determining if Castaneda should be executed; however,the prosecution would have to represent all the evidence to the new panel. A July 30 conference was scheduled to determine where the case will go next. If the District Attorney’s Office does not wish to retry the death penalty phase, Castaneda could be sentenced to life in prison without parole.

THE BORN LOSER by Art & Chip Sansom
BIG NATE by Lincoln Peirce
CANCER (June 21-July 22) — Be careful that you don’t focus all your efforts on an objective that would provide little or no gratification. If you’re merely spinning your wheels, back up and head in another direction. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22) — Going into something with an insecure attitude means you’ll waffle at the first sign of pressure. Concentrate only on projects that bring out your better qualities and talents. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Avoid activities that cost an arm and a leg. It isn’t likely that you will have a good time knowing that you can’t afford what you’re doing. Relax and enjoy that which is free. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — If you’re too wishy-washy to make decisions for yourself, companions will happily do so for you. Pick your friends wisely, or someone could lead you into a quagmire. SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 22) — Upon occasion, you do have hunches that are right on target, but don’t be so quick to trust every one you get. You won’t go wrong if you rely on logic — because mystical perceptions are iffy. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 23-Dec. 21) — It is not unusual to get involved with someone who might

do things a little differently; however, don’t try to change this person unless you see it could bring harm to the individual. CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Aligning yourself with the wrong person could seriously undermine your progress. When selecting a coworker, make sure that he or she has good attributes to contribute. AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 19) — Sometimes you outsmart yourself by making hard work out of a project that should be relatively easy. Today could be one of those times, unless you stop and take stock of what you’re doing. PISCES (Feb. 20-March 20) — You are not always as adroit as you should be about handling your funds, and this could be one of those days. If you catch yourself spending wildly, have the willpower to put a lid on it. ARIES (March 21-April 19) — Others are likely to ignore your orders if they think your way of doing things is setting a poor example. Don’t expect associates to complete what you can’t carry out. TAURUS (April 20-May 20) — Although you have an extremely good analytical and observant mind, you’re likely to be more negatively focused and see nothing positive about your involvements. Reverse that. GEMINI (May 21-June 20) — An important endeavor might not turn out as promising as you had believed. Reassess your input, and see what you can do to turn things around.

“We strongly support government assistance for reasonable vegetation management around homes,” said Richard Halsey, director of the California Chaparral Institute. “But the county’s focus on clearing trees deemed unhealthy nearly two football field lengths away from structures and roads is a waste of taxpayer money.” The California Chaparral Institute seeks
