Fairgrounds awards program on hold
‘Toast to Torrey’
State officials say $500 gift cards to employees may violate rules BY JOE TASH The president of the Del Mar fairgrounds board has instructed fairgrounds staff to postpone an awards program under which workers would receive $500 gift cards as a reward for the fairgrounds’ financial performance in 2011, after state officials said the program may violate personnel regulations. The 2011 Superior Accomplishment Awards Program was approved unanimously by the fair board at its Feb. 15 meeting. The program dates back to 1998, when the fairgrounds began giving workers annual awards of up to $500 apiece.

The state-owned fairgrounds are operated by the 22nd District Agricultural Association, whose ninemember board of directors is appointed by the governor. The 22nd DAA — and other similar districts around the state — fall under the jurisdiction of the California Department of Food and Agriculture (CDFA), and its Division of Fairs and Expositions.

Del Mar Schools organization has raised half of last year’s total BY KAREN BILLING Don’t use the word “donation” with the Del Mar Schools Education Foundation (DMSEF) President Drew Isaacman. “One of my big things is that I don’t look at any parent’s or company’s dollars as a donation, I hate that word,” Isaacman said. “Ours is a contribution. We’re contributing to the benefit of all of our students, community and school district.” DMSEF’s annual campaign is entering the home stretch toward its April 30 deadline to fund the district’s Extended Studies Curriculum (ESC), which includes the subjects of science, PE, art, music and

Senior transportation to begin in Carmel Valley Rides and Smiles senior transportation service will soon begin in Carmel Valley, District 1 City Council member Sherri Lightner reported to the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board last week. Without public transit and with no senior ride program servicing Carmel Valley, many seniors living outside a senior facility were left without a way to get around until Carmel Valley senior Julie Saltman “raised a rumpus” in February 2010. Saltman has been the driving force in getting the senior ride program going and Lightner was instrumental in securing funding from SANDAG late last year. “This has been a long time coming,” said Lightner. “Senior citizens in Carmel Valley need access to transportation. It’s not just a quality of life issue but a real necessity.”
The program is expected to begin next week and Lightner plans to give the inaugural ride to Saltman. Operated by Jewish Family Services, Rides and Smiles provides more than 700 individual rides a month for seniors in the North County area. Volunteers can select the rides they give through an online system. It’s a donation-based program so riders are sent donation suggestions at the end of the month based on the amount of trips taken. Drivers must complete a one-hour orientation, a DMV record check (paid for by JFS) and are provided mileage reimbursement up to 47 cents a mile. If interested in volunteering or requesting a ride, visit www.jfssd.org or call (858) 637-3000. — Karen Billing
FAR at the heart of Del Mar development discussion they’d lose square footage.” • Parking workshop is March 5
BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET
More than 20 years ago, Del Mar implemented a law that is now attributed to holding back the downtown area and stifling development ever since. In an effort to decrease scale, former officials capped the floor-area ratio (FAR) at 0.45, and with 40 percent of downtown businesses pre-dating that law and having FARs of more than 0.45, the strict building code has discour-
aged existing businesses from doing construction of any kind in the Village. “At the time it was seen as the best way to control development in downtown, but in actuality it kind of set us into noncompetitive retail,” said Kathy Garcia, Del Mar’s planning and community development director. “What happened was stores couldn’t locate here because there wasn’t enough space for them and property owners didn’t want to redevelop to get a better space because
This issue is one of many challenges the city is up against in planning downtown revitalization and drafting a Village Specific Plan. On Feb. 20 the Del Mar City Council held a workshop on private realm development — which includes FAR and other issues, such as setback and height. The next of several workshops meant to engage and educate the public about revitalization will focus on See FAR, page 6

Solana Beach approves new off-street parking manual The City of Solana Beach will implement a new off-street parking manual March 1 after the City Council on Feb. 22 voted to approve, with a few changes suggested by the council, a long list of updates to the manual. Established in 1993, the outdated manual was based on City of San Diego Standards set in 1985. The new parking manual includes about 50 specific changes in areas from trees in parking lots to grocery cart storage. The manual was expanded to include underground and above ground parking structures, as well as one bicycle parking spot per 10 vehicle parking spots. Prompted by a letter submitted by Douglas Alden, Solana Beach’s bicycle and pedestrian advisory committee chair, Councilman Mike Nichols suggested the manual provide more specifics about how bike racks are installed. Nichols worked extensively with city staff in identifying and implementing the updates. “We show how parking lots should be
laid out,” he said. “We should show how bike racks are laid out so they are not placed too close to walls, too close to landscape or in the pedestrian right of way.” Council member Lesa Heebner pointed out that trees in parking lots are meant to provide shade and reduce the amount of heat, therefore she suggested limiting palm trees. Nichols said the manual requires one tree every 30 feet, but if you use a palm tree, the mandate is every 15 feet, so property owners would have to double the amount of trees used if they opt for palms. Solana Beach Mayor Joe Kellejian said he likes palm trees. “Because of the topography of our city, palm trees are encouraged because they don’t block views,” he said. City staff will still implement the manual, but return to council for approval of updates discussed on Feb. 22. — reported by Claire Harlin
Small signage changes for Flower Hill add-on Some small changes have been made to the design of the new Whole Foods and Flower Hill Promenade renovation. David Reinker of SGPA Architecture visited the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board last week to let them know about the refinements to the design, which includes no change in elevation or square footage. The changes were driven by Whole Foods’ decision to move its entrance from the center of the store off to the left, changing the position of the Whole Foods signage. Small tweaks in design were also made
to accommodate signage for the second floor tenants above Whole Foods, Reinker said. Reinker reported that the renovation is progressing on schedule at a “pretty good pace.” “We’ve almost attained the full height of the project on the west side,” said Reinker of the addition, which includes the Whole Foods, new boutique office spaces and a four- story parking garage. “I think we were successful in hiding the parking and service See FLOWER HILL, page 11

Pacific Highlands Ranch Public Facilities Financing Plan update ready to go before SD City Council BY KAREN BILLING The long-awaited update to the Pacific Highlands Ranch Public Facilities Financing Plan (PFFP) has been completed and will soon go before the San Diego City Council for approval. The update was the first done since October 2007 and was spurred on by the passing of Proposition C in 2010. “We’re actually going to start realizing the benefits of our hard work,” said planning board chair Frisco White. Board member Manjeet Ranu, who represents PHR, said, “This will allow us to get things that make a community a real community and help surrounding communities by not burdening their facilities.” Frank January, from the city of San Diego, said the transportation and phasing plan includes all of the population-based facilities funded by Facilities Benefit Assessments (FBA) paid by homeowners. These in-
clude the neighborhood and community parks, the library, trail systems and a community pool in Black Mountain Ranch. The phasing plan includes threshold requirements. “Within the thresholds, development cannot proceed until those facilities are provided,” January said. That means no more new houses until there are appropriate amenities for the residents that currently live there. January also said the amended financing plan aims to minimize delays as much as possible. Gonzalez Canyon Neighborhood Park will be the first to be designed and delivered as PHR reaches its first threshold of 1,900 units. January said they have a signed agreement from Pardee Homes as of last week to move forward with reimbursements to design and build that park. See UPDATE, page 11
Carmel Valley surgeon killed in motorcycle accident BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Authorities released the name today of a 60-year-old orthopedic surgeon killed in a solo motorcycle crash on a Mira Mesa thoroughfare. Jeffrey Marxen of Carmel Valley lost control of his yellow 2005 Honda Gold Wing on a curve while riding to the north in the 11900 block of Black Mountain Road shortly before 10 p.m. Thursday, according to San Diego police and the county Medical Examiner’s Office. The motorcycle hit a curb on the east side of the street, and Marxen, who was wearing a helmet, fell off and tumbled into a metal shroud covering a water line near Mercy Road. He died at the scene, despite the lifesaving efforts of bystanders and medics.

Residents remembered with dedication benches in Del Mar BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET
After a 14-year battle with Lou Gehrig’s disease, former Del Mar postal worker Bobby Carter passed away last April. But his combined 35 years of postal and military service isn’t forgotten, and his memory will be further preserved for posterity with a dedication bench placed recently in front of the post office. “Everybody knew Bobby. He was probably the most beloved postal employee ever,” said co-worker Nick Brumbach, who sponsored the installation of the bench. “People would come in and wait for Bobby.” The dedication bench is one of 15 installed around downtown Del Mar as part of an ongoing downtown revitalization effort. Each bench cost $2,000 and was paid for in part by a resident donor, with a matching a grant of $10,000 for the entire bench project coming from the County of San Diego as part of its Neighborhood Reinvestment Program. The Del Mar Village Association (DMVA), which facilitated the grant process, donor outreach and installation, held a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Feb. 22 to say “thank you” to the donors who made it possible to install the benches around the city. Del Mar resident Bernadette Watkins was in for a surprise after her husband, Jim, donated funds to have a bench dedicated to her. The surprise came on Christmas Day, when the couple was taking a stroll up 15th Street. “I pretended to have a heart attack and had to sit down on the bench,” Jim recounted. It was then when his wife noticed the plaque on the bench with her name on it. Local lawyer Bing Bush Jr. donated
three benches, one of which he dedicated to the family of his clients, Eddie and Lisa Villalpando, who lost their son, daughter-inlaw and grandchildren in a tragic vehicle accident. The Villalpandos’ son, Ryan, his wife, Veronica, and the couple’s two young children — one seven months old and the other 4 years old — all died after being hit by a semi on Feb. 13, 2010. The dedication ceremony, held at Bush’s law office at 1330 Camino Del Mar, fell on what would have been Ryan’s 33rd birthday. Ryan and his wife were both teachers in the Redlands area, and both had hopes of becoming principals. Eddie and Lisa Villalpando, who frequent Del Mar and are in the process of relocating here, attended the ceremony. Although difficult, Bush said it “really meant a lot to them to have it on his birthday,” and he pushed for it to happen on that day. “They’ve been through so much, and I thought it would be a nice thing to do,” said Bush about dedicating the bench to the Villalpandos. “It will help this place seem like home to them.” A number of donors contributed to honor the late Helen Glaser, a Del Mar resident of many years, with a bench. “Well known for her active participation in a number of Del Mar organizations, knowledge of Del Mar facts and faces, and vibrant personality, [she] is greatly missed but certainly not forgotten,” reads a statement by the DMVA. Glaser’s bench was dedicated in a separate ceremony on Jan. 28. For more information on the DMVA Streetscape Sponsorship program, visit www. DelMarMainstreet.com and click the “About DMVA” link.

FAR continued from page 3 parking and be held on March 5 at the Del Mar City Council meeting at 6 p.m. Garcia said the City Council is leaning toward raising the FAR to 1.0. This would mean that on a 10,000-square-foot lot, the floor area could not exceed 10,000 square feet if one story high. In comparison, a FAR of 0.45 would allow a one-story building of 4,500 square feet or two stories at 2,250 square feet.
FAIRGROUNDS continued from page 1 lieved the awards program complies with state regulations. But based on an inquiry from this newspaper, state officials notified the fairgrounds that the program may violate state personnel rules. In light of state officials’ concerns, fair board presi-
“That would not only keep up with the cost of land but these little 0.45 buildings are not really in character with what we are looking at,” she said. Buildings with a FAR of 0.45 or less include Crepes and Corks, located at 1328 Camino Del Mar, and BoardN-Brew, located at 1212 Camino Del Mar. On the larger side, the Stratford Court building located at 15th and Camino Del Mar has a FAR of 1.52. The Gallery Building, located at 1130 Camino Del Mar and
including Bindu Yoga and Bella Villa Spa, has a FAR of 1.0. Opinions on FAR have been somewhat polarized, and the City Council is looking for more input. “There are a number of people saying ‘We don’t need it because if you control height and how far back it goes, why would you need an extra control?’” said Garcia. “Some are saying don’t change it at all and others say that 1.0 is in keeping with scale as we see appropriate.”
Land use is another major aspect of private realm development being discussed in Del Mar. The City is looking into upping residential use significantly downtown and including some 20 units per acre (now there are only two residential units along Camino Del Mar). Officials hope to see the percentages of office space decrease to make room for more parking, lodging, retail and restaurants. The “built-to-line,” which controls how close to
the street a building is built, is also prominent in the discussion. For example, Garcia said the Village will be more pedestrian friendly if parking is not placed between the street and building, possibly inhibiting the continuity of a sidewalk. Councilman Don Mosier said he supports the proposed 26-foot height limit on both the west and east side of Camino Del Mar, as long is there is some interesting building articulation to go along with that. Currently the height limit is
only 14 feet on the west side. “I would not want to see a row of 26-foot buildings one adjacent to the other,” he said. “There are places where a two-story building works well, and there are places where they don’t work well.” To share input on these issues or others relating to revitalization, email conversations@delmar.ca.us. For more information, visit www.delmar.ca.us and follow the link to “Village Revitalization.”
dent Adam Day directed staff on Tuesday (Feb. 28) not to move forward with the program. “I’ve asked the 22nd DAA staff to not implement the program until we sit down with (CDFA officials) and make sure our program is in full compliance. We’re looking forward to talking with them at the end of this week,” Day said. Fennell did not respond by presstime to a request for
comment on the state officials’ concerns. But in an interview last week, he said the fairgrounds generated a record net profit of $2.7 million in 2011, which will be used to make improvements at the facility. The fairgrounds’ operating budget for 2011 was $56.5 million. Fennell said he expected to disburse the maximum $500 award to most of the district’s 175 employees, at cost of $70,000 to $75,000. Neither Fennell nor his assistant general manager are eligible, he said. “When you win the Super Bowl, you get a Super Bowl ring. Our folks won the Super Bowl as far as fairgrounds are concerned, and this is a way of recognizing them for their efforts,” Fennell said. In a memo to the fair board included on the Feb. 15 board agenda, Fennell noted that the Superior Accomplishments Awards program was established in 1998 under state personnel rules, and that the 22nd DAA received permission from
CDFA to use the program. “CDFA advised us that we could administer the program ourselves with no Sacramento approval needed,” wrote Fennell in the memo. The district has given awards to its employees under the program every year between 1998 and 2010, except for 2008, when the poor economy caused some events to be cancelled and others downsized, and Fennell felt the fairgrounds’ financial performance did not merit the employee awards. In response to an inquiry last week, CDFA officials said, however, they were concerned the 22nd DAA program violates state rules governing employee awards. “Superior Accomplishment Awards are intended for individuals or teams of state employees who, through specific recognizable actions, make significant improvements to government. CDFA is concerned that the awards at the Del Mar Fair do not meet that standard. If the fair persists with plans to make the awards, CDFA will
review its options for next steps.” wrote Steve Lyle, CDFA spokesman, in an email. Such awards may be given for “specific actions that improve state government,” wrote Lyle. Rules for the Superior Accomplishment Awards Program are listed on the website of the state Department of Personnel Administration, which lists three examples of performance that would merit an award: • An important contribution to science, research or development. • An unequaled personal effort in overcoming unusual difficulties or obstacles in the completion of a major project or task with substantial benefits to the State. • Completion of a major project or task in a significantly shorter period of time with substantial benefits to the State. Fennell said the Del Mar fairgrounds, which hosts hundreds of events each year, including the San Diego County Fair and the summer
horse-racing season, is the most successful in the state and one of the most successful in the nation. While other government agencies are laying off workers, the Del Mar fairgrounds is creating jobs, Fennell said, and gave a large part of the credit to the fairgrounds employees, who have continued to do excellent work even though they have not received raises in recent years and, along with other state employees, have had to take unpaid furlough days. If the program does go forward, workers who qualify will receive their choice of $500 gift cards for Albertson’s, ARCO gasoline or Costco, Fennell said. “I will tell you it has paid dividends over the years. This program has contributed to our success year after year after year,” Fennell said. “The question should be, why are we so successful? And part of it is because of this program.”

Author unravels story of iconic chef Julia Child and her experiences in wartime OSS spy agency Editor’s Note: Jennet Conant was the guest speaker at Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society luncheon Feb. 21 at The Grand Del Mar. She is a former journalist and the author of four best-selling books about World War II. BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Funny how things work out. Take author Jennet Conant, for instance. Had she been a young woman when the U.S. entered World War II after the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, she undoubtedly would have made a perfect candidate to join America’s fledgling wartime civilian spy agency, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS). Like many of the 4,500 women who did join and serve in the OSS, Conant comes from a prominent family, is a graduate of an elite women’s college, holds a master’s degree from one of the top journalism schools in the U.S., was born overseas and is multilingual. The OSS had a reputation for hiring from the Ivy League and the Junior League in the belief that

well-educated, well-off idealists were harder to bribe, could type, and often had language skills. But since Conant was born 15 years after the war ended, she had to settle for meticulously researching and writing about the OSS and four of its agents — in her latest bestseller, “A Covert Affair.”
Those agents were: Julia Child, the gangly 6-foot-2 Pasadena native with an operatic voice who later gained fame as America’s favorite “French” chef; her sophisticated, connoisseur artist husband, Paul Child; and their friends, Jane Foster, a wealthy, free-spirited artist; and Elizabeth (Betty) McDonald, a young adventurous reporter. All four, who served together with distinction in the OSS in the Far East during WWII, were later caught up in the paranoia of the 1950s McCarthy era witch hunt for suspected communists, communist sympathizers and Soviet spies. One of the four, socialite Jane Foster, hounded for years by the FBI and accused of serving as a spy for the Soviets, went into self-exile in France and became a French citizen. She died in Paris in 1979 at age 67. We interviewed Conant in the library of The Grand Del Mar on Feb. 21 prior to her talk to the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society.
Conant is a former magazine journalist who began writing books 13 years ago. She’s a tall, 5-foot-8, blonde, with shoulder-length hair who wears her sunglasses perched on her head and who loves to talk, particularly about writing, people and her favorite era for exploration, World War II. Conant was born in Seoul, South Korea, in 1960, and spent much of her growing up years in Tokyo. Her father was a documentary filmmaker for the United Nations and her mother an art historian who specialized in Japanese art. Conant finished high school in New York, and earned an undergraduate in Greek philosophy from Bryn Mawr in 1982. “I always wanted to be a writer, ever since I was about 10,” she recalled. “I developed into avid reader because I grew up abroad with no television… “But my father would walk around the house saying ‘I’m not going to support a writer. You’ll end up driving a cab.’ He was very grim about writers making it.” As a doable alternative, someone suggested that she consider becoming a journalist as a way to make a living and write. Following the advice, she enrolled in Columbia University’s School of Journalism and earned her master’s degree in 1983. “Because I had grown up abroad and, as I always say, spoke many languages badly, I immediate got hired by Newsweek… where I spent seven very happy years. “I started at the very bottom as an intern, and then got hired as a researcher/reporter. I worked in every department — foreign, national, business — and worked my way up to being a profile writer. It was a fantastic education. I traveled all over the world for Newsweek.” Later, she went on to write profiles for all the major magazines in New York, she said, including Esquire, GQ, The New York Times, and Vanity Fair. In 1999, she resigned from Vanity Fair after a showdown with her editor over a profile she was assigned to write. “Much was made over it,” she recalled, “and I did quit over a disagreement with the editor, but it wasn’t such a big deal. I quit primarily because I was fed up. I did not like the person I was writing about, who I will not name, who was a famous person… so, in the end, I said, I didn’t want to do this piece.” The person in question, the media reported at the time, was the controversial, self-appointed media watchdog and critic,

Steve Brill, creator of the magazine Brill’s Content, which subsequently folded. “I had reached a point in my life when I thought I’d had enough of this. I wanted to do books…I marched right over to Simon & Schuster and said, ‘I want to do a book on this subject’” — Wall Street tycoon Alfred Lee Loomis and his contribution to the invention of radar and its implications for winning World War II. “And they loved it.” That first book, “Tuxedo Park: A Wall Street Tycoon and the Secret Palace of Science That Changed the Course of World War II,” was published in 2003, and made The New York Times bestseller list. Since then, all four of her books have been bestsellers. Asked what drew her to write about WWII, she said: “My grandfather. We were extremely close to my grandfather [James B. Conant]. “He was president of Harvard and during the war he was asked by [President] Roosevelt to head up the [atomic bomb] Manhattan Project and to organize American science to make weapons of war…and [had to deal with] the guilt afterwards. So I knew him as really a walking piece of history.” Her second book, “109 East Palace: Robert Oppenheimer and the Secret City of Los Alamos,” published in 2005, was an account of the building of the atomic bomb, with insights provided by her grandfather. Further exploring aspects of World War II, in her third book, “The Irregulars,” (2008) she focused on the history, development and influence of Britain’s intelligence-gathering ring that was operating in wartime Washington, D.C., and became the model for America’s OSS. Her latest book, “A Covert Affair,” was inspired by a newspaper story about Julia Child and her little-known wartime service in the OSS. Julia Child, who died in 2004 at the age of 91, rarely talked about her wartime experiences. Conant’s book is based on recently unclassified OSS and FBI documents, as well as interviews, diaries, letters, and other material, including a story that appeared in Julia’s Smith College alumnae magazine. Asked if she was working on a new book, she said: “I am.” And what’s it about? “Well,” she said, “as my spies always say, ‘If I told you, I’d have to kill you.’” End of interview.

Del Mar Rotarians join milestone efforts against polio BY EMILY FIGUEIREDO, PUBLICITY CHAIR FOR THE DEL MAR ROTARY CLUB In 1985, Rotary International undertook the huge challenge to eradicate polio from the world. The U.S. and most of North America had been freed of this crippling disease since the 1960s following the introduction of the Sabin and then the Salk vaccines. However, there were 350,000 cases of polio in 1985 across 125 countries. Since then, every year hundreds of thousands of Rotarians from around the world have traveled to the remaining polio-infected countries to administer the polio vaccine, including Rotarians from our community. In three of the four remaining countries that have still been affected by polio, religious distrust of the vaccine had prevented cooperation. Finally, that barrier has been broken in India, resulting in 100 percent success of eradicating this terrible disease for one year in that country and looking forward with great hope. In San Diego, on Jan. 17, 2012, Dr. Bruce Aylward of the World Health Organization said, “Looking forward, we will live in a polio-free world. We have got to the critical turning point we had to be sure we could finish the job,� when addressing the Rotary International Assembly. Since Rotary International committed to conquering polio in 1985, it was announced that this month reached the historical marker of accomplishing a 99 percent decrease in polio cases throughout the world. Another great achievement against polio that came Del Mar Rotarian and Solana Beach resident Peggy from the Del Mar Rotary Club Martin administers a polio drop vaccine to a baby in has been the success of selling India in February 2011. “Good-Bye Polio Thanks Rotary� bumper stickers. Marty Peters, a member of the club and past District Governor, has championed this effort and has sold over 198,000 stickers since 1997. These bumper stickers are sold at cost so that every penny goes straight into raising awareness of the effort and to directly fund the final fight against polio.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion
One Paseo will bring economic benefits I am surprised by Gabriele Prater’s Feb. 16 letter to the editor. It is a nasty, straw man attack that masquerades as a difference of opinion over land use issues related to my support of One Paseo. Ms. Prater, a person whom I never have met, accuses me of financial self-interest. Let me be clear. I am not now, nor have I ever, worked for or on behalf of Kilroy Realty – not for any project including One Paseo. I truly am “just a Carmel Valley resident,” having bought a condo in 2005 that is within walking distance of One Paseo, the proposed multi-use, main street project at issue. That makes me uniquely qualified to voice an opinion. Ms. Prater’s implication that I am self-interested is valid in one respect: I will be one of those most affected by One Paseo be-
Sun has all the energy we need and we can’t destroy it! Okay, it’s now a good time to reveal a not-so-hidden secret. Our human race is contributing to the destruction of mother earth with our unsustainable life style by polluting, wasting and over consumption. The practice is universal and led by Americans, including those of us living in the San Diego region. Now, look up into the sky and observe our greatest source of energy, the sun, which we can not destroy. It’s too far away. The sun just keeps going and going and going, like the well-known bunny battery. We are beginning, just beginning to capture the free and clean energy it produces and use it in our daily lives. It’s better than lightning, Mr. Thomas Edison. Think about it! Roger Boyd Solana Beach
cause of my home’s proximity. That is exactly why I support One Paseo. It will be an invaluable asset for our community. Kilroy openly has presented their plan to the community and invited public input. It’s an excellent plan, created after hundreds of meetings with local residents. Now, as the independent environmental review is being completed, the Kilroy team continues to ask for ideas and feedback and to listen and take our advice to heart. If Ms. Prater has a substantive disagreement with any part of One Paseo and wants to make a positive contribution that moves beyond a “not in my backyard” mentality, there is ample opportunity to do so yet. I accept fact-based challenges to my support of One Paseo. This failed attempt to assail me
personally only demonstrates that opponents have no legitimate argument. One Paseo stands on its own as an award-winning, environmentally sensitive design and as a concept of creating someplace special for local residents. It will bring huge economic benefits to Carmel Valley, including thousands of permanent jobs and millions in tax revenue Let’s have an honest, transparent discussion with all stakeholders clearly identified and on the record. I encourage Ms. Prater and all others to step forward with their interests openly delineated as I have. Let’s discuss the many merits of One Paseo and how we can make our community an even better place to live and work. Janette Littler Just a Carmel Valley Resident
Spare us from newbie’s political experiments If newbie resident John Cox is so enamored with the New Hampshire’s state legislature he should move there and spare us from his self-aggrandizing political experiments. His stated goal of creating “neighborhood” assembly districts and relaxing rules for the political initiative process will place even more control in the hands of special interest groups. The end result of this experiment will be an more fractured state government serving minority special interests at the local level... no doubt including those who can afford to spend their days slamming tennis balls and swinging golf clubs. Perhaps he should sign on as a special consultant to One Paseo. Robert Wright
One Paseo would be perfect addition to CV There’s been a lot of chatter lately about the One Paseo project, and I’d like to weigh in because those voices who are often the loudest do not speak for the rest of us. I am a longtime resident, I love Carmel Valley and I believe One Paseo would be the perfect addition to our town. The potential impacts are totally overblown by the few who seem to be singularly obsessed with defeating this project. I like this plan because it is an intelligent solution to many of our chronic problems: lack of retail op-
tions, lack of family-friendly recreation opportunities, lack of a community core. And let’s not forget jobs. Lots of folks here are hurting. We need to support economic growth and expand our tax base. In that sense, One Paseo is a long-term solution to what we all hope is a short-term problem. Those opposed claim they’re actually OK with a main street project – if only the developer would lop off so many floors, take out this much square footage, remove the residential and commercial components and, of course, not add a sin-
gle car trip. They’re treating One Paseo like a buffet, picking and choosing only what they want. Again, they don’t speak for the rest of us who, in fact, see this project is a good example of balance – different land uses complementing one another, amenities for young and old, a mix of high-end and family-friendly shops and restaurants. It’s a well thought-out plan that’s uniquely suitable to our city. One Paseo has my full support. Carole H. Coleman Carmel Valley
Hefty public transportation system needed if One Paseo built One Paseo would be a WONDERFUL asset to Carmel Valley, even in its expanded form, PROVIDED that a hefty public transportation system was installed from University City to Via de la
Valle, along El Camino Real. This should be the extension from the new trolley line to University City. The developer should pay for this, since the City is too lame and shortsighted to finance
it. BART was smart enough to install a rail line from San Francisco to Walnut Creek BEFORE the area along it was built up further. Same should be true for the City of San Diego. If this
is not done, do NOT grant a permit for any further commercial or residential development along El Camino Real. John Fiscella Carmel Valley resident since 1989
Roberts the ideal candidate for supervisor As a resident of Carmel Valley, I am gratified that Dave Roberts is a candidate for county supervisor. I have known Dave Roberts for almost three decades; and watched him work on Capitol Hill and in private industry for a Fortune 500 company to improve the quality of life for our military troops, their families, and our veterans. Dave was the first nonmember of Congress to receive the National Military Family Association’s Award of Excellence in 1993 for his
work to improve dental care for military beneficiaries. Here in San Diego County, I have closely watched Dave’s record on the Solana Beach City Council (where he has served for the past eight years), which I believe exemplifies traits so desirable in a public servant: intelligence, integrity, an uncanny ability to work with others from across the political spectrum, and compassion. In addition, he has a strong track record of business accomplishment com-
bined with deep concern for maintaining the quality of life in our beautiful region. In particular, he has fought to protect open space in the San Dieguito River Valley Park and provided a much needed consensus leadership style working with the 22nd District Agricultural Association. Dave is campaigning with the slogan “The Experience We Need,” and this certainly is the case. He is an expert in health policy as well as public administration (he
holds a master’s degree in public administration and financial management). In 2011, Dave was named one of the top 50 national health information technology experts for the last 50 years. He has experience in transportation issues (he is chairman of the board of directors for the San Diego County Consolidated Transportation Services Agency). He is past chairman of the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority. I could continue in this
vein, but I think it is obvious that Dave Roberts is the ideal candidate for county supervisor. He will ably represent Carmel Valley as well as all of District 3 — and all of San Diego County. Let’s embrace the future by electing someone who is both savvy and caring in dealing with the issues that affect our welfare and quality of life. Let’s put Dave Roberts on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors. Nancy Zapp Carmel Valley

EDUCATION continued from page 1 still have events such as jogathons coming up, which usually bring in about $30,000 each. “Large chunks start to come in toward spring but our need is significant. It’s a significant gap,” Isaacman said. Last year, the foundation raised $1.28 million in its annual campaign, funding 13 full- time equivalent (FTE) credentialed ESC teachers across the district. With the district’s contribution, the ESC program has 33 teachers. The fundraising goal remains $2 million as ESC has gone down on a per child basis in the last three to four years. By head count figures, the district’s 33 ESC teachers this year is down from 35 teachers two years ago and that number, with increased contributions, could be 40. “Certain schools, because of their size, don’t feel ESC has gone down even though it has,” said Isaacman. He said there’s some confusion on that because people associate ESC with teachers’ names, not the program. Some schools actually need more than five FTEs because of the number of sections teachers have to teach. An example of a trimmed ESC program is at Ashley Falls School where instead of losing a subject, they chose to have half a year of music and half a year of art. “The goal is still $2 million,” Isaacman said. “We’re not trying to reach the minimum level of education, we’re trying to reach the maximum level of education.” To avoid DMSEF “playing favorites,” the foundation is completely taken out of the allocation equation. The foundation has no say in how the money is distributed to each of the schools—it simply gives funds to the district and the superintendent meets with all eight principals to allocate the ESC funds. All of the principals get a voice and decide what they want to do with the

March 1, 2012 funds—some may opt for more of one program and less of another. The foundation has not been deaf to the bickering and arguments over site specific vs. district-wide fundraising. “The (district-wide) allocation has been a big bone of contention but it’s just where we are,” Isaacman said. He said he hears from parents that if they were assured their money would go straight to their own school, they’d give lots of money. Isaacman said that while the foundation can’t guarantee that someone’s contribution will go to their home school, it can be guaranteed that their children will benefit from their contribution. As a foundation, they do not publish how much money is raised per school, but Isaacman says the contributions are in line with the relative enrollment of each school. Since going to the district-wide model, the foundation has never raised more money than it has in the last three years. “The funding goes toward all eight schools having state-of-the-art ESC classes,” Isaacman said. “We shouldn’t be focusing on where the money comes from, we should be focusing on fundraising for our kids.” Isaacman said he was thrilled to get a letter of thanks recently from a parent who said she contributes $70 per month equaling $840 a year. She wrote she was so grateful for ESC and that $70 per month for a private school-type of experience was not that much money to give. Isaacman said he understands that this is a public school district and people who already pay taxes into the district may not want to contribute any more money. A participation rate of 100 percent may not be realistic, but he is proud of what they are able to achieve. “I’m proud that over two-thirds of the families in the district are actively contributing to the foundation,” Isaacman said. “It shows that we are a very caring and giving community.” To learn more or to contribute, visit www.delmarkids.org section. Reinker said an example of the “face lift” that is planned for the rest of the center could be seen in the new store Between the Sheets. The center completed renovations for that space as the tenant was moving in rather than waiting until later. — Karen Billing
SAM continued from page 1 ty commentary — delivered in six different languages. According to regulars, Peltekian worked seven days a week, sometimes 14 to 18 hours a day, at the eatery, located at 141 Lomas Santa Fe Dr. A variety of theories have been offered as to why Sam’s Place closed, but Peltekian and members of his family did not return calls and emails by presstime for this newspaper. “This pillar of the community and his restaurant where everybody was a regular will be greatly missed,” regular Jim McCullum said. Regular Amy Moser described Sam’s Place as “the Solana Beach version of ‘Cheers,’ where everyone from disparate parts of San Diego including neighbors, sheriffs and local dignitaries could walk or drive to.” “When you wanted to know what was going on in Solana Beach or the Middle East, Sam was the go-to person. When you needed a place to stage a birthday party, engagement party, retirement party, meeting place
for non-profits, Sam would make sure that you were welcome and feted,” said Moser. “Whole families have grown up at Sam’s from childhood and come back whenever they’re back in town.” She said there is nowhere else that measures up to Sam’s Place. “I feel like we’re roaming the desert now with no place to go,” she said.
UPDATE continued from page 4 The item will be before the city’s Land Use and Housing committee on March 7, along with the PFFP. In the past, one of the reasons the park had been held up was the city had no funds to staff and operate it. Pardee Homes has offered to fund the first two years of maintenance on the park. “Development in the community has slowed and
we’ve extended the development period out 14 years to 2035,” January said. “We are also able to reduce FBA rates by 51 percent for single family homes to $45,000 by July 1 if the plan is approved by council.” Single family unit approved assessment per acre had been $91,607 previously. January said they were able to reduce the FBA rates because more homes will be allowed to be built past 1,900 units with the passage of Prop C and more develSee UPDATE, page 15

Appleton and Catherine Appleton; two greatgrandchildren, Molly
O’Byrne and Oona O’Byrne; brother, Robert (Kay) Appleton; and sister-in-law, Lois Appleton. Bill’s light eccentricities made life fun for those around him. He enjoyed good food and wine accompanied by conversation. Bill attended Penn State, where he graduated in 1955 with a degree in Industrial Engineering. A passionate Nittany Lion, he remained a loyal football fan the rest of his life. Bill also found time to be President of the Del Mar Little League in the early 1970s, which pleased his three sons; he also coached Pop-Warner football. Bill was very involved with his church throughout his life. He took pleasure in reading and beautiful music, as well as working with model trains and golfing with family. He left Pennsylvania the same year he graduated, married dear Pat, and moved to Southern California to put his engineering degree to work; he made his home
in Del Mar since 1971. Bill was a partner in Amayer Incorporated, an electronic sales and service company from 1971 to 1982. He retired in 1999 from NASSCO, a shipbuilder for commercial customers and the U.S. Navy, located on San Diego Bay.

Children’s book focuses on Pickens’ efforts to save mustangs BY KELLEY CARLSON The mustang horse is a symbol of America’s past — from the days of the Wild West — but its future is in question. A new children’s book by Karen Bale-Brown, titled “The Preschool Professors Meet Madeleine and the Mustangs,” sheds light on efforts being made to save the breed. The colorfully illustrated literature, released Feb. 21, is based on the Mustang Monument proposed by local businesswoman and philanthropist Madeleine Pickens. The 28-page book uses rhyme and rhythm to describe how the eco-sanctuary in northeast Nevada will provide activities for everyone, such as wagon rides over the prairie and campouts under the stars amid mustang herds. “Madeleine and the Mustangs” is the fourth book to be written in BaleBrown’s Preschool Professors series. The Preschool Professors — copyrighted in 1984 — were inspired by the author’s children, Benjamin and Sara. “They were so curious about the world around them,” said Bale-Brown, who resides in Anchorage, Alaska. She proceeded to write several books about topics that children would find interesting and fun, such as the cause of thunderstorms and searching for the Easter bunny. The “professor”
characters were named for Bale-Brown’s family and friends. The latest book focuses more on environmental aspects than the other works, Bale-Brown noted. She first learned about the mustangs and the troubles they face in fall 2009. Bale-Brown’s daughter, Sara, was at a football game halftime show at Oklahoma State University that featured singer-songwriter Michael Martin Murphey and a presentation about Pickens’ nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization, Saving America’s Mustangs. Sara, touched by the program, asked her mom to watch it online. The images and information made quite an impact on Bale-Brown. “I got very emotional,” she said. In 1971, the U.S. Congress recognized mustangs as “living symbols of the historic and pioneer spirit of the West, which continue to contribute to the diversity of life forms within the nation and enrich the lives of the American people.” More than 100 years ago, there were 2 million of them roaming free; now, only 28,000 are left on the range, according to Pickens. To protect rangeland vegetation from overgrazing, the Bureau of Land Management rounds up the mustangs and forces thousands of them into holding pens, where they are vaccinated or

There is controversy surrounding the treatment of the horses — and in some cases, their ultimate fate. In an effort to help the mustangs, Pickens — who owns the Del Mar Country Club — bought 600,000 acres of private and public lands about 25 miles south of Wells, Nev. The land, at 5,700 feet in elevation, is full of spruce trees and showcases the beauty of all four seasons. A mountain range of 10,700 feet adds to the scenery. Pickens said there are currently 600 horses on the property — which can comfortably support thousands — and she is hoping to add more. She is seeking permission from the BLM to take captured horses from its facilities and set them loose on
her property, and also needs the government to designate that the public range can be used for horses. However, she has yet to receive approval from the BLM. Pickens has big plans for the sanctuary, where visitors of all ages will be able to learn about the land and its “Wild West” past, and reconnect with nature. It will also show how the wild horse is an integral part of America’s history. In addition, there will be electronic classrooms, ecology seminars, lessons about Native American history, guided hikes, camping in teepees, campfires with musical storytelling and Native American legends, and wellness and group retreats. There will also be photography and creative writing internships available. Listening to the Saving
America’s Mustangs presentation started the wheels turning in Bale-Brown’s mind. “I thought, ‘What could I do to help, to raise awareness and money?’ ” BaleBrown said. So the author — also an adjunct professor who teaches quantitative research methods online at the University of Oklahoma — came up with the idea of having the Preschool Professors visit Pickens’ Mustang Monument eco-sanctuary. Bale-Brown discussed her proposal with Pickens’ foundation, and wrote a draft that they approved. “I was really touched,” Pickens said. “How thoughtful, sensitive and kind! “Karen brings a lot, with her background, to the project,” she added of the former Katy (Texas) Times feature writer. Pickens said that getting the kids involved is an excellent way to help the cause, and noted that nothing in schools teaches children about what’s happening to the mustangs. In 2010, Bale-Brown contacted her publisher, Tate Publishing, and received the green light to proceed with the project. It was completed in 2011, and officially released in February. Meanwhile, Bale-Brown and Pickens had a chance to connect in person at a football game last year at OSU, where Pickens’ husband, Tex-
as oil and gas executive T. Boone Pickens, is an alum. Madeleine Pickens said she was delighted to meet Bale-Brown. And the feeling was mutual, as Bale-Brown described Pickens as sincere and passionate about her cause. “When a person jumps on board (to help the mustangs), that’s one more part of the puzzle they bring in,” Pickens said. “It’s very sweet (of Bale-Brown).” Not only are the paperbacks available for the public to purchase, they can be provided to teachers, along with coloring books for their students, Bale-Brown said. She also hopes to spread the word of the mustangs beyond America, and present the books to children in China while visiting her son, who works in a university there. Bale-Brown’s Preschool Professors books can be bought at preschoolprofessors.com, tatepublishing. com and most online book stores. The price is $8.99 for a paperback edition or $7.99 for a digital download. All of the author’s net proceeds will go toward Saving America’s Mustangs.

Local teen’s party to benefit adoption of young Ugandan girl BY KAREN BILLING Laura-Valentine Lock is putting the sweet in Sweet 16. Instead of gifts at her 16th birthday party, Laura-Valentine, who was adopted from China as a baby, is asking for donations to help support the adoption of a young Ugandan girl. The Valentine baby turned 16 on Feb. 14, but her party will be held Friday, March, 2 at 7 p.m. at the Village Community Presbyterian Church in Rancho Santa Fe. The party will be a fundraiser for Feng Li Li Foundation, specifically supporting Maggie, a 7-year-old Ugandan child waiting to start her new life in Southern California. The party will also mark the release of Laura-Valentine’s first album “My Sweet Home” and she will perform. Laura-Valentine’s parents have agreed that their only gift to their daughter for her birthday is to match the amount of money donated at her party. Laura-Valentine was adopted when she was

Her adoptive parents, Susan Sharpe and Ken Lock, were set to adopt a baby girl named Feng LiLi when the baby went missing from the orphanage. Sickness, over-crowding, lack of food and medicine and inefficient administration were perhaps to blame for her disappearance and no trace of her was ever found. “I was blessed to be
the second one picked,” said Laura-Valentine, who also goes by LV. “I remember growing up as a normal child. I didn’t think of myself as being adopted because I felt so welcome in my family.” LV’s parents started the Feng Li Li Foundation in memory of the baby they never knew, helping to find homes for abandoned children all over the world. Sharpe said the organization has financially assisted adoptions of
more than 100 children so far. “We have a 17-yearold-biological son, James, and many always assume people adopt because they can’t have kids,” Sharpe said. “We really chose to adopt and we encourage everyone to consider adoption. It’s as much or more of a miracle as having a child of your own. We’re so thrilled with how it all worked out with LauraValentine and we’re excited for her and her career and how she wants to use her gift.” Along with her brother James, LV went on a mission trip to Uganda with the Children’s Heritage Foundation last year and had the opportunity to meet many children awaiting new homes, like Maggie. Since her visit, she’s learned of several children she met being adopted. “It made my heart soar,” LV said. James had visited Uganda once before LV, to help build a basketball court. The pair will return to the country LV calls “beautiful” and “incredible” to run a basketball

LV said she has a heart for giving back, to both children and to animals— she also volunteers at the Helen Woodward Animal Center. A cheerleader who also does track and field, LV’s passion for music started young, she has been singing since she was 3 years old. As a Christian
artist, her style is “West Coast country” with a little pop music vibe and she has performed at churches and schools, and worked with producers in the studio to create her first album. She has tried her hand in songwriting and has penned two original songs for the album. One, “My Sweet Home,” is about how blessed she feels to be in a loving family after being abandoned. “Another song, ‘If I Knew You’ is a very personal song to my birth mom,” LV said. “I tell her ‘Don’t worry, I’m fine’ and that I still love her even though she made the hard decision to give me up. It’s very emotional.” The March 2 event is free with a donation to Maggie and the Feng Li Li Foundation. To learn more about the organization, visit www.fenglili.org. Laura Valentine’s music is available on itunes and on www.laura-valentine.com. RSVP for the party on either site.

Local artist and teens create special mural for Becky’s House BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley resident Hanna Daly had always used her talents in art to make gifts for other people. Recently, she created one of her biggest gifts to date when she completed a mural at Becky’s House domestic violence shelter with help from five teenagers in the Becky House teen program. Becky’s House has the largest number of beds in the county for women and children escaping domestic violence and their program includes a 30-day stay in an emergency shelter, counseling, legal assistance, career development and children’s services. The mural, depicting a cityscape, dolphins in the ocean, a treasure chest, rainbow, waterfall and hot air balloons in a cloudy sky was painted on a 60-foot long, 15-foot tall wall around a rooftop deck. The deck is an important part of the shelter as many of the women and children are afraid to go outside and the protected deck is the only place they can be outside and let their children play during their stay. “It’s nice to do something good,” said Daly. “We
Teens recently helped Carmel Valley resident Hanna Daly paint a mural at Becky’s House. get so sheltered here in Carmel Valley, it’s perfect here. Stuff that you start to worry about is not important and you want to give back. This is the way I can give back.” Daly had always been into art but where she started is a lot different than the kind of work she’s doing now with her seven-year-old business, Hanna’s Murals.
“I did tiny, color pencil drawings. Itty bitty,” Daly said. Moving into murals was a challenge—the focus is less on small details and more on the overall piece. While some artists don’t like being told what to create, Daly actually prefers it to having a big, blank wall and having to figure out
what to do. She encourages input. “Someone tells you exactly what they want. I love it,” Daly said. In the first four years her business was mostly children’s rooms (“Low pressure, they love it no matter what”), but the down economy has her branching out doing more
work for businesses. Branching out also meant looking for ways to give back in her free time, offering her services to various organizations. She has worked with the Golden Hill Youth Center and Cecily’s Closet, an organization that does room makeovers for children with special needs. After approaching Becky’s House, they came to her with the option to paint the outside balcony. The space was so large that Daly asked if she could get some help and her answer came in the Becky’s House teen housing program. At first, Daly was worried that the teens would not be excited about the painting, but when they started to brainstorm they came up with all kinds of ideas for the mural and got really into the project. Daly let them incorporate all of their ideas into the piece, including some graffiti-font words of inspiration done by one “super talented” girl. “These teens used to live at Becky’s House so they know how it is,” Daly said of their ideas to add inspirational words like “hope” and “trust.” As the rooftop was a place children came to play, the teens also wanted to paint little hidden items in the mural that the kids could try to find. Daly tried to step away as much as she could to let them do most of the work, telling them that there were no mistakes in art. She found the teens loved mixing paints and treated paint splatters on their clothes as a mark of being a real artist. It took six months to complete the mural, working once a month to accommodate all of their schedules and finishing on Feb. 19 with a pizza party. “Is it perfect? No. But it’s so cool because they did it all together and learned through it,” Daly said. While this project is complete, Daly would love the opportunity to work with the teen program again on murallike projects, steering them away from using their artistic talents on tagging and graffiti. She hopes her project inspires others to find a way to give back in whatever ways they can. “The world is not all like Carmel Valley and I try to teach my kids that,” Daly said. “Anybody can help.” To learn more about Becky’s House, visit ywcasandiego. org.

plan, written in the 1990s, calls for Carmel Valley Road to be widened to three lanes. He said he’d hate to see them go and rip out things that have been working well. Chair White said that they agreed the next step was a review of the community plan to see if facilities were still needed or not and to the level they are currently planned.

High school seniors across the country signed their letters of intent in February and among the many exceptional athletes was Santa Fe Christian’s Jarrod WatsonLewis. Jarrod has accepted an offer from Cornell University, where he will play football for the NCAA Division I team. Santa Fe Varsity Coach Nick Ruschetta notes, “Jarrod will bring so many talents to Cornell. Obviously his speed, athleticism, and physical drive set him apart but he is an incredibly intelligent player and one of the hardest working kids I have seen on the field.” A four-year varsity player at both running back and safety, Jarrod averaged 9 yards per carry and scored a total of 15 touch downs for the Eagles in 2011, leading the team to the Coastal League Championship and the Division V CIF championship game. Watson-Lewis is one of the most decorated players in Coastal League history, earning the All-Coastal League Football First-Team Defense, Coastal League Defensive Santa Fe Christian Senior Player of the Year, All-North County First Team Defense, Jarrod Watson-Lewis. All-CIF Second Team Defense and the ESPN All-Small Schools State Second Team Defense. His academic honors include being named a ScholarLeader Athlete by the National Football Foundation and College Hall of Fame and to the Union Tribune North County All-Academic Team. Hard work doesn’t end when off the field, as Jarrod often arrives to Santa Fe at 6:30 a.m. tutoring students while his mother Dedra begins her workday as a bus driver for the school. “My parents knew what was best for me, sending me to Santa Fe Christian in 6th grade. I didn’t want to leave my friends and did not know what to expect but their decision has been a true blessing in disguise.” He continues, “My mother has been a tremendous influence in my life, working multiple jobs and supporting my athletic and academic desires and I am excited that, as a result, I have the opportunity to attend Cornell.” Jarrod currently plans on majoring in business at Cornell’s Dyson School Of Applied Economics and Management, but doesn’t rule out a move to the schools prestigious hotel management program. Looking forward to experiencing the East Coast and a new culture, Jarrod is poised to continue on his path of success. Santa Fe Christian Schools is a pre-K through 12th grade college preparatory school located in Solana Beach. For more information, please contact (858) 755-8900 or www.sfcs. net

Dr. Harold Simon reviews his legacy in medicine at UCSD Harold J. Simon, M.D., Ph.D., a founding member of the UCSD School of Medicine faculty and a leader in the field of international health and health policy, recently retired after more than four decades of service. He was one of the first academics to understand the importance of global health training in medicine, and today more than 50 medical schools across North America offer education in global health. Dr. Simon was one of Harold J. Simon the first faculty members recruited to the UCSD School of Medicine. Arriving in 1966, he established the Office of Student Affairs and set the policies for recruiting and admitting students. Simon was among those who designed the school’s curriculum and established many of its programs. The Harold Simon Chair in Global Public Health was established in 2001 in recognition of his contributions in the field of global health, from his role in the design of health care systems serving developing countries, to his leadership in initiating cultural awareness training as part of the medical student experience. Dr. Simon specialized in infectious diseases and prevention of hospital infections. He has lectured throughout the world, and has traveled extensively as a public health adviser to many developing countries.
What brought you to this area? It was the founders’ vision for UC Diego, the nascent medical school and the stellar faculty to be recruited. For myself, the opportunity to begin at the beginning; the chance to do international medicine and the almost unlimited opportunity to start and establish the office of student affairs, student recruitment and admissions, curriculum planning and evaluation and financial aid. What makes this area special to you? UC San Diego’s founders’ determination to recruit and support a stellar faculty; the close interactions and collaborations between the general campus and the medical school;

The competition events include the following qualifying pursuits in the equestrian discipline of Dressage: • 2012 Olympic and Para Olympic Games • 2012 Reem Acra World Cup Finals • 2012 Guenter Seidel Collecting PHOTO: MIKE Gaits Farm/ TOMLINSON USEF National Grand Prix and Intermediate Championships • 2012 Collecting Gaits Farm/USEF Pony, Junior, Young Rider and Brentina Cup Championships • 2012 FEI North American Junior/Young Rider Championships • 2012 Markel/USEF National Young Horse and Developing Horse Dressage Championships President Kim Keenan Stordahl and her staff at KP Events are in the final stages of readying the grounds for the spectators, competitors, classes, and events that take place during the Dressage Affaire. “We’re working non-stop,” Stordahl said. “We had a scare because of the Equine Herpes Virus outbreak that hit horses in Orange County in January.

Stordahl is seeing some new names among the more than 300 riders signing up this year. An additional 20 handicapped riders will compete to qualify for the 2012 Olympics in the Para Equestrian Division. “On the jury this year are two judges from Sweden, one from Canada and one from the U.S. for the CDI jury.” Stordahl said. “For the Para Equestrian Division is one judge each from Holland, Sweden and Germany. Judges go through levels of training that takes them years to work their way up to judge international events.” Prize categories for the Dressage vary. This year will be a new presentation of a Grand Prix Freestyle Perpetual Trophy donated by the James Knox family. “The Knox family live locally and have been involved with horses for many years,” Stordahl said. “The freestyle events are enjoyed by so many that we upped their promotion, and we’ve introduced prize money for the popular musical freestyle events as well.” Sponsor Rancho Valencia is presenting both the $5,000 Ran-

At a time of growth, fundraiser will benefit Solana Beach bilingual tutoring organization • Event for Casa de Amistad to be held March 31 at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET
“Our tutors treat students as if they are their own kids.”
The relationship between tutors and students is so strong that the kids look forward to coming to Casa de Amistad.
The program has grown by word of mouth, and its board of directors has capped enrollment at 185 to keep tutor-student ratios low and not outgrow the space. “The goal is to have one-on-one tutoring,” said MioneGreen, adding that there is always a need for more volunteers and donors. Currently, about 120 volunteers help in some capacity at Casa, many of whom have been involved with the organization for many years. There are more than 40 kids on the waiting list to participate in the program, and therefore a stringent attendance policy for students — if you don’t show up, you go back on the waiting list. “We take on a role as advocates for the kids,” said Mione-Green. “Our tutors treat students as if they are their own kids. If a student always comes with no homework, we contact their teacher, for example, and make sure they have something to work on here. It’s like a school, after school.” Beltran said the relationship between tutors and students is so strong that the kids look forward to coming to Casa. “It’s like coming to see a family member,” she said. For more information about Casa de Amistad or volunteer opportunities, email director.casa@gmail.com or call (858) 509-2590.

Catalina Beltran remembers getting picked up by a church bus and taken to Casa de Amistad when she was in junior high school in the late 1990s. There were only about 10 students in the bilingual tutoring program at that time, a number that has grown to 185, not including those on the waiting list. Beltran, now 28 and the assistant director at Casa, attributes her completion of college to the mentoring from her tutor, Stacy, and the help she received at Casa. “Back then, college wasn’t a big important thing,” said Beltran, who went on to attend Cal State, San Marcos after six years of going to Casa de Amistad. “In our community, a lot of people hadn’t attended college. I give my mentor credit for helping me understand the importance of college.” Casa de Amistad has definitely grown since Galdino Don Juan started the learning center at the Solana Beach Presbyterian Church (SBPC) in 1997, but it has especially grown in the past two years. The program is fueled in part by a yearly fundraiser, which raised $40,000 last year, compared to $8,000 in 2010. This year’s fundraiser, “Una Noche Brilliante,” is set for March 31 from 6 to 9 p.m. at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club. Tickets are available at www.casadeamistad.org. “Our organization has really grown, both in terms of volunteers and respect in the community,” said program director Nicole Mione-Green. “Casa has developed a lot of community partners and people are just becoming more aware about what we are doing.” Casa de Amistad began as just one man at SBPC tutoring kids who needed help with homework. “More and more students needed help, and it eventual-
ly became a nonprofit in 2001,” Mione-Green said. Most of the students speak English, however, the service is geared toward dual language learners, many of whom have Spanish-speaking parents who may find it difficult to help their kids with homework due to the language barrier.

Diners find a tasty refuge inside Paradise Grille BY KELLEY CARLSON t Paradise Grille & Bar, patrons can kick back in the low-key bar/lounge or on the comfortable outdoor patio, consume a drink from the award-winning wine list, and nosh on food made from fresh ingredients in a resort-like atmosphere. “I feel that Paradise Grille is a little hidden nugget inside Flower Hill,” said Shana Adair, who owns the restaurant with her husband, Conor. “It’s a favorite with locals; it’s a very relaxed environment to enjoy good food and get wine and cocktails with friends.” Guests often congregate on the outdoor patio during a typically pleasant SoCal day, receiving natural warmth from the sun’s rays or a temperature boost from heat lamps when it’s cooler. Green umbrellas provide plenty of shade, and a fire pit in the center of a glass table that can host up to a dozen patrons sparks interest. Water trickles soothingly over rocks in a corner fountain, and foliage accents the patio’s perimeter. Patrons lounge on couches or perch on stools at the bar to take advantage of the popular, daily happy hour. The dark wood-paneled indoor bar/ lounge provides additional stools for happyhour seating, along with booths for dining. Mirrors reflect soft lights; overhead fans with blades shaped like leaves provide the slightest hint of a breeze. Some guests may find entertainment on the bar’s two flatscreen TVs, usually defaulted to a sports channel; others may tune in to the restaurant’s mellow pop music programming. Several candles frame a picture of a gigantic, crashing ocean wave. One of Paradise Grille’s unique features is its wall of scotch, containing more than 50 single malts. Flight tastings are available, in which three glasses are placed on a wood

■ This Week: Paradise Salad board with a side of water and ice. The restaurant is also noted for its wine list, featuring 90 labels from all around the world. According to Adair, Paradise Grille has received the Wine Spectator Award of Excellence every year since it opened in 2006. Adair’s husband personally chooses the labels, from locales such as Argentina, South Africa, Australia, Chile, France, Italy and California. The Adairs also help plan the culinary selections for the customers. “If it’s not good, I don’t let it on the menu,” Shana Adair said. Focaccia, desserts, dressings and sauces are made from scratch, using fresh, seasonal ingredients. The soups reflect item availability; among those currently on the menu are Roasted Tomato Basil and Dungeness Crab Bisque. One of the starters to note is the Firecracker Shrimp, with spicy Kung-pao sauce, peanuts, cilantro and a Daikon carrot salad. The establishment is well-known for its burgers, made from 100-percent Angus that was grass-fed. An 8-ounce burger — larger than the typical 6-ounce servings at some

Offerings have included Fresh Grilled Halibut and Pan-Seared Diver Scallops. Vegetarians may delight in the Paradise Salad, a combination of mixed greens, mango, hearts of palm, candied chopped macadamia nuts, cucumber and a light passion-fruit vinaigrette. Themed evenings in which specials are offered are Street Taco Tuesdays, and Prime Rib Night on Sundays. Wrap up a meal with a slice of Raspberry Key Lime Pie, topped with whipped cream and fresh mint, or the Molten Chocolate Lava Cake, served with vanilla ice cream and raspberry coulis. Being parents themselves, the Adairs welcome children at the eatery and offer a menu that includes hand-breaded chicken tenders, baby carrots, kid-sized pepperoni pizza, cheeseburger and pasta. Crossword puzzles and word searches can keep the kids busy while they wait for the food.

Local residents help guide inner-city students at Nativity Prep Academy The school enrolls sixth-, seventh- and eighthgrade students who show potential for success. But they don’t just enroll them – they cover their full tuition and transportation needs and Join Nativity Prep stuprovide tutors and mentors. dents and staff for On top of that, they their complimentary continue the financial comannual “Breakfast for mitment to the students into Champions� to learn high school, Daniels said. more about the school: That means paying for them 7:30 a.m., Wednesday, to attend prestigious private March 7, at the high schools, such as Grauer, Mission Tower Room, Bishop’s, Francis Parker and Del Mar Fairgrounds Cathedral Catholic, or supCall (619) 544-9455, port them at charter high ext. 227. schools like High-Tech High. In 2010, Nativity Prep moved from a commercial building on Market Street to Holy Cross Catholic Church, which had closed its own school. With classes limited to 20 and only 180 students, the setting is old-school in more ways than one. Students greet visitors with a handshake and a smile as they introduce themselves. Teachers are smiling, even as active students tend to raise the volume a bit while they study together. And there’s a strong ethic aimed at “spiritual, moral, and emotional development of students as well as academic, physical, and social needs,� as outlined by the Nativity/ Miquel Network of schools, of which the San Diego campus is one of more than 60. Those values are instilled through being on campus 10 hours a day, 10 months a year – and attending a required summer program that includes a week at a YMCA camp. They also have P.E. classes, sports teams, art and music, field trips, and computer and science labs. Many of the teachers have been there for seven or eight years, including principal Brendan Sullivan who started in the school’s second year. Bishop, the tutoring coordinator who taught for years in area Catholic schools, said she got interested in Nativity Prep after hearing founder David Rivera speak at her church. But it wasn’t until she “kind of retired and her kids were moving along� that she reached out through the Ignation Volunteer Corps. Now she works one day a week at Nativity Prep, supervising and matching 14 volunteer tutors. She also leads small group language arts sessions for students in need of additional help and also helps with reading comprehension and writing programs. Her husband, son and daughter also

Volunteers come from all over the county to tutor at Nativity Prep, which aims to have a tutor for every student. Some current and past tutors are, from left front: Kathy Dunlay; Jocelyn Schultz; Kathy Burns; and, from left back: Julie Bishop (Solana Beach); Carol Reilly; Mary Meiggs (Solana Beach); and Joan Patton.

BY KATHY DAY Tucked away in a neighborhood of San Diego that many North County residents likely have never visited sits a small school that’s having a big impact on students from some of the city’s less fortunate neighborhoods. Despite the distance, Nativity Prep Academy has more than 250 people from Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, Solana Beach and Carmel Valley who support the middle school on 55th Street either with their time or money. Some pitch in from a distance by sponsoring a student’s tuition or an activity; others tutor or mentor, while others organize fundraisers. Jamie Carr of Rancho Santa Fe is one of those. She’s been involved for six years and last year became a board member. Solana Beach resident Julie Bishop, their volunteer coordinator, is another. Then there’s La Jollan Mike Daniels, the school’s president and longtime board member, who has gone all in. A founder of the Monarch School, which serves San Diego’s homeless youth, he said as that program grew he wanted to put his talents to work in another start-up situation that was results-oriented. “I have a passion for inner city kids,� he said. When he learned about the school, which serves low-income families in Southeast San Diego, he knew where to focus that passion. Now he’s on campus about two-and-a-half days a week and boasts shamelessly about how well the program is working – two classes of its graduates are now in college.
Experience Rancho Bernardo’s
have pitched in as mentors. “This is a wonderful age,â€? Bishop said, adding that the school is a wonderful place doing amazing things for the students. “They do more for me than I do for them.â€? Although the school picks up most of the costs for the students, parents must pay $100 a month, which Daniels noted “doesn’t seem like much but to these families it can be a significant amount.â€? They must also commit to attending three parent teacher conferences each year and help with fundraisers. For him, a landmark moment was at an event when he was sitting next to an 11-year-old student that he hadn’t met before. When he asked if she had thought about her goals, she answered that she wanted to attend The Thatcher School, a preparatory boarding school in Ojai where every student is assigned a horse to care for, and then to go to Harvard. “When you have a conversation with an 11-year-old living in poverty who gets it, it’s awe inspiring,â€? said Daniels. “We hope and believe they can get to a four-year university,â€? he added, noting that because they continue support into college, that prospect improves. To support that belief, they back their financial commitment to their graduates’ high school education by providing “college counselorsâ€? after they leave Nativity Prep. Volunteers monitor the students’ grades, have held parenting classes to help explain the college application process, and recently sponsored a motivational speaker. They also help with paperwork – college and exam applications, financial aid forms — and pay admission fees and test fees. Support comes from fundraising events and donations by people like Carr, who attended one of the school’s monthly lunches that introduce potential supporters to the school and students. She’d been active in Ranch schools that her children attended and the RSF Children’s Hospital Auxiliary. But she said she wanted to do something that would make a bigger difference. That was six years ago; now she’s on the board and planning the March 6 “Breakfast of Championsâ€? at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Although the event – designed to inform North County residents about Nativity Prep — is free, they gladly accept donations, Carr said. “Most of these kids wouldn’t be headed in the direction they’re going without the opportunities they are getting here,â€? she added. “It gets them focused and raises the bar‌ We don’t drop them when they leave us. They still have someone to cheer them on.â€? To learn more about how Nativity Prep aims to do that, go to nativityprep.org or call (619) 544-9455. The school welcomes visitors and volunteers.

Carmel Valley Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary to host ‘Spring Boutique 2012’ March 6 at CRUSH
Members of the Del Mar Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary.
Del Mar Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary to Enhold fundraiser at En Fuego Cantina Fuego and the Del Mar Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary are partnering on a fundraising event for the entire month of March. The girls of the Del Mar Unit will be kicking off the month with an event in the wine bar, La Tienda Cantina, from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. on March 7. Through the “En Fuego Gives” program, 10 percent of all food and beverage sales for the evening will be donated to Rady Children’s Hospital – San Diego. In addition, for the entire month of March, 1$ will be donated to the hospital, for every Miracle Taco ordered. En Fuego and La Tienda are Miracle Makers, individuals or groups who hold fundraising events for Rady Children’s, raising at least $500 annually. The Del Mar Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary recently announced its upcoming fundraiser, “Heard it Through Grapevine.” The social gathering on March 7 is to raise awareness about autism and publicize the unit’s upcoming event. This year marks the 51st anniversary of the Wine Taste and they are bringing it back to the Del Mar Plaza on Wednesday, May 30. Join in an evening of fabulous food, beer and wine tastings from local restaurants at the plaza. In addition to the tastings, an amazing live auction and live music, all in support of the Autism Discovery Institute at Rady Children’s Hospital – San Diego.

BY KELLEY CARLSON Bank of Commerce Mortgage may be considered a small to midsized company, but it puts a large emphasis on customer service and security. “(Employees) know your file and know of you, rather than being a drop in the bucket,” said MiMichael Wiener chael Wiener, senior mortgage adviser/ branch manager of the company’s Del Mar office. And because it is a publicly held company, trading on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol BOCH (Bank of Commerce Holdings), it is heavily scrutinized by the Federal Reserve. With security a top priority, millions has been spent on the IT department, Wiener said. “We have so many firewalls, it’s unbelievable,” he added. The bank was first established in the Bay Area in 1994, and has migrated south over the years with additional branches, which are individually run. “It gives clients a warm, comfortable feeling knowing that they’re working with a company that was not opened yesterday,” Wiener said. The Del Mar office opened in July 2010, the first in San Diego County. Wiener is relatively new to Bank of Commerce Mortgage, but he has been in the business since graduating from San Diego State University with a degree in real estate finance in 1993. “It’s my first and only job career,” he said. Wiener was first employed at Morfacts Mortgage in Encinitas as a loan officer. He eventually served as its vice president and part owner, until the company closed in
2009. In 2010, Wiener was recruited to open the Bank of Commerce Mortgage branch in Del Mar. During the course of his career, Wiener has closed more than 3,000 loans totaling more than $1 billion, and has earned the nickname of “San Diego Loan Guy” from his clients. “I’m a numbers guy ... I love houses, real estate, numbers that coincide,” he said. At Bank of Commerce Mortgage, all loan products are available, from high-balance fixed-rate to adjustable, VA (for veterans) and reverse mortgages. The company also offers its own Jumbo Express Mortgage Product that is “perfect” for San Diego County, especially the coastal areas where the purchase price and loan amounts are higher, Wiener said. He also noted that the company is a banker, rather than a broker; it lends its own money and sells loans off to investors. Also, it offers in-house underwriting, documents and funding, ensuring a quick approval process. Unlike large banks, customers won’t get “lost” at Bank of Commerce Mortgage, Wiener said. “It’s an intimate company; everybody knows everybody,” Wiener said, explaining that there are fewer than 120 employees. Three of them are at the Del Mar branch. However, the bank is beginning a large recruiting program to build its strength in San Diego County. The first recruiting mixer — an informal meet-and-greet — will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. on March 7 at Jimmy O’s, 225 15th St., Del Mar. Wiener said interested candidates can ask questions and see if the company is a good fit for them. He indicated that the company may possibly open an office in Mission Valley. Bank of Commerce Mortgage’s Del Mar branch is at 1130 Camino del Mar, Suite J. For more information, call (858) 481-5626, or go to sandiegoloanguy.com or www.bankofcommercemortgage.com.

A Tuscan romance unfolds in ‘A Room With a View’
Kyle Harris (George Emerson) and Ephie Aardema (Lucy Honeychurch) play a romantic couple in ‘A Room with a View,’ directed by Scott Schwartz at The Old Globe. CREDIT: HENRY DIROCCO
If you go What: “A Room with a View� Where: The Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park When: Matinees and evenings through April 8 Tickets: From $39 Box Office: (619) 23-GLOBE Website: www.TheOldGlobe.org
BY DIANA SAENGER The musical, “A Room with a View,� will have its world premiere at The Old Globe Theatre in Balboa Park on March 2. Based on the novel by E.M. Forster, with book by Marc Acito, music and lyrics by Jeffrey Stock, and additional lyrics by Acito, the show gets off-the chart excitement from its actors. Kyle Harris (“Sondheim on Sondheim,� “West Side Story�) plays the lead role of George Emerson, a free thinker who becomes attracted to Lucy Honeychurch (Ephie Aardema) in Italy’s beautiful Tuscan countryside. Lucy, a new transplant, hails from England and a far more sheltered upbringing than George. The storyline is an immortal classic. “George has passion, something Lucy sees in him and has been wanting,� Harris explained. “She has a small flame inside of her that wants to ignite and burn a little brighter, but she’s resistant, not knowing if George is the one, as he doesn’t come from an aristocratic family. She’s not sure if she should she take a chance on a carefree man who wants her to be free and trust the rest will follow.� Other cast members include Glenn Seven Allen, Etai BenShlomo, Gina Ferrall, Jacquelynne Fontaine, Will Reynolds, Edward Staudenmayer, Karen Ziemba and Kurt Zischke. Harris said he was overjoyed with the approach director Scott
Schwartz took in rehearsals. “Scott gives you the canvas and lets you throw paint at it, and then he mixes in his colors and you create a beautiful picture together,� Harris said. “He compromises with the actors and that builds the team of trust so many actors dream of having. Scott wants the individual actor to be a part of these characters and unique and as organic as possible, and that’s such a great place for a piece to start from the ground up.� Harris said he’s also enamored with Acito and Stock’s work. “Marc has done a great job with the storyline, and the musical score by him and Stock has been breathtaking from our first workshop in New York City. It’s felt like a classic from the very beginning.� Harris added that the setting in romantic Italy, and the piazza, will transport audiences, “and the score is so gorgeous it really speaks to the heart of these characters, which creates even more passion.� Harris said Stock shaped the songs to the actors by listening to their voices in the workshop and tailoring the songs to best fit the right key for each actor so no one is reaching for something out of their comfort zone. “Instead of them fitting the shoe, they are the shoe,� Harris said. “A Room with a View’ is a very lyrical, very underscored masterpiece. It’s funny, heartwarming, and a great show for the entire family.�

DRESSAGE continued from page B1 cho Valencia Grand Prix Freestyle (alteration) and the $5,000 Rancho Valencia Olympic Grand Prix Special (alteration) classes. Custom Saddlery will be presenting the $2,500 Custom Saddlery Intermediare I Freestyle Class. Wilson Cunningham West Insurance is sponsoring the $1,500 Wilson Cunningham West Young Rider Freestyle Class and Pegasus Training. Equine Rehabilitation Center is presenting the $1,500 Pegasus Training and Equine Rehabilitation Center Junior Freestyle Class. The $5,000 Para Equestrian Freestyles will be equally split between the grade levels. The Dressage Affaire sheds a special light on equestrian competitions. Dressage is the French word for training, and this sport is the most disciplined of the equestrian sports requiring a refined, harmonious, silent conversation between horse and rider. Christine Traurig of Christine Traurig Corsage Stables, Inc. has been a trainer and coach of Dressage for 30 years. “This is such a beautiful sport to watch the pre-
“It’s wonderful to come out and see how beautiful this sport really is and the harmony between man and animal.” cise athletic movements between the horse and the rider, through his seat and leg,” said Traurig , who was born in Germany, but has been in the U.S. since the 1980s, and has extensive international experience. “I train horses to fit the riders and rides to fit the horses, and I love what I do.” Local San Diegan and three-time Olympian Guenter Seidel has won numerous medals and awards in national and international Dressage Affaire competitions. Seidel suffered a serious accident several years ago but after a lengthy rehab, returned to competition. A favorite at Del Mar’s Dressage Affaire every year, Seidel returns this year on a new Grand Prix horse. With thanks to Ed and Camille Penhoet of Toyon Farm in Napa Valley, Seidel will be riding Fandango, an Oldenburg Gelding. Fans need not worry; he drew great re-
sponses for his and Fandango’s exhibition at the 2009 FEI World Cup in Las Vegas and their themed Pas de Deux “Phantom of the Opera.” “I’ve been working with Fandango a lot this year,” Seidel said. “It’s always difficult for a rider to get to know a new horse and for the horse to get to know the rider, but we’re doing OK. I’m looking forward to the Dressage Affaire again at Del Mar.” One thing that probably helped Seidel overcome his injuries after his accident is his ongoing physical regime. “I workout with a trainer, try to eat well and I love to surf,” he said. “I just started that about four years ago, but now I try to make it a regular morning activity.” Along with exciting competitions, Dressage Affaire includes several social networking opportunities. A Welcome Exhibitor Party takes place on Thursday, March 8, at 4:30 p.m. featuring hors d’oeuvres by Chef Eric Bauer of Rancho Valencia. The “Freestyles, Dinner and Dance” party follows on Saturday, March 10, at 5 p.m., featuring a VIP dinner after the Grand Prix, then dancing after the Rancho
Valencia Grand Prix Freestyle Class. On Sunday, March 11, are the “Olympic Special” Day and more Freestyles. Champagne and pastries will be served for VIP/ Sponsor patrons. Twenty percent of Silent Auction and Grandstand admission will benefit the United States Para Equestrian Association. A silent auction and raffles will be part of these events with exciting items such as three luxurious nights for two guests at the Rancho Valencia Resort, including wine pairing, tennis lessons and a spa package, and “The Bridges Olympian Dining Experience — An exquisite dinner for four guests along with popular Olympians Guenter Seidel, Steffen Peters, Christine Traurig and Sue Blinks.” The Rancho Valencia Dressage Affaire has a lot to offer for everyone who loves horses. “It’s wonderful to come out and see how beautiful this sport really is and the harmony between man and animal,” Traurig said. “And I really appreciate the great job Kim is doing in keeping this fantastic event worthy for the horses, competitors and spectators.”

With a legacy of building iconic new neighborhoods in San Diego, Davidson Communities is on track to launch its latest gated enclave of large family homes in the Carmel Valley, SR 56 corridor on Saturday, March 3. With up to six bedrooms, Davidson’s Miraval offers 41 single-family detached homes on sites averaging 5,000 square feet. Plans were designed by William Hezmalhalch Architects and Design Line Interiors with flexibility to accommodate any family configuration, with a downstairs master bedroom suite in all three floor plans. Pricing is expected to begin from the mid $700,000s. Miraval’s three plans range from 2,793 to 3,287 square feet and offer four to six bedrooms, 3.5 to 4.5 bathrooms, and a two-car garage. Capitalizing on its elevated access to the McGonicle Canyon, living areas open completely to the outdoors by eight-foot glass sliders. Family-friendly features include oversized kitchen islands and backpack drop zones. Davidson is now nearing completion on Miraval’s
three models and the first phase of seven new homes. The Del Mar-based homebuilder is also building a signature entry gate, with the installation of a mature Pepper tree adjacent to a 30-foot water fountain. Motorists passing the intersection of Carmel Valley Road and Caminito Vistana will note the widening of Carmel Valley Road from two to four lanes and the addition of new landscaping and a trail connection. This frenzy of construction is all in preparation for Davidson’s grand opening of Miraval on March 3.
