Sycamore Ridge parents say campus overcrowded •De l Mar school district board urged to find best possible solution for program location issues

■ The Del Mar

Foundation celebrates 30 years. Page B14

BY KAREN BILLING A recently formed group, Parents for Sycamore Ridge, is appealing to the Del Mar Union School District Board of Trustees that the Sycamore Ridge School campus no longer has the capacity to house the district’s special needs preschool and child care center.

Parents say the K-6 population is feeling the burden of having the two programs at their school, taking up one-third of the school’s classrooms. “We value these programs and there’s no question they should exist and have adequate facilities,” said parent Sandi Adam.

“We want to find a solution that’s right for all of the programs…Having childcare at a school with the highest projected growth rates doesn’t make sense.” The group, which gave the board a petition signed by 226 parents, held a special town hall meeting on March 21 and had 18 speak-

ers during public comment at the March 28 meeting. While speakers spoke, others held up yellow signs that read “The time is now.” The issue was not on the agenda so the board members could not discuss it, but they acknowledged the parents’ message has been received.

Del Mar nixes proposal to limit taxicabs

‘Pump Up the Volume’

“We hear you,” said board president Scott Wooden, stressing the board wants to find both a shortterm and long-term solution for childcare that makes sense and doesn’t impact students. The item is on the agenda for the April 25

In an effort to address longterm parking issues, traffic congestion and public complaints, Del Mar city staff on April 2 brought before the City Council a proposal to limit the number of taxicab permits allowed in the city. The council determined, however, that it should not dictate the number of operating cabs, but instead directed staff to draft an ordinance providing criteria for caliber of cab service. The ordinance would also give the city the right to revoke cab licenses. The council also expressed an interest in giving preference to energy-efficient cab companies. “I don’t think we need to be

regulating the number of taxis,” said Councilman Terry Sinnott. “It’s OK to have permits regulate the quality of service and give preference to energy issues, but I think the city getting into what’s the right number of taxis per city is not right. I’d rather see the market do that in a natural way.” The discussion was in response to the council’s July request that city staff explore a franchise system that would limit the number of cabs and begin a competitive proposal process to replace the existing system. Staff discovered, however, that under state law taxicab franchises are generally used when allowed by a city charter, and Del

SB grants permit for sea wall repair BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET

In a rare clash, the Solana Beach City Council voted 3-2 to approve the construction of two return walls on the bluff of the Seascape Chateau Condominiums property, located at 707 S. Sierra Ave. The decision was one of the first in which the city applied the terms of its new Land Use Plan (LUP),

which took well over a decade to get certified by the California Coastal Commission. Council members Lesa Heebner and Mike Nichols gave the dissenting votes, suggesting that there are more issues at play that were on the table, such as the need to repair more of the seawall than what had been proposed. Nichols also said mitigation fees

Carmel Valley mother accused of killing son BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A Carmel Valley woman accused of killing her 4-yearold son at the family’s Torrey Hills-area apartment was to be arraigned at the San Diego Courthouse the afternoon of April 4 (just after presstime for this newspaper). Police say 36- year-old Patricia Corby flagged down a police sergeant Saturday morning, March 31, and asked for help with her son, who was in her car unconscious and not breathing. Detectives later arrested Corby on suspicion of murder. Her son, Daniel Corby, reportedly had some form of autism. He turned 4 last week. An autopsy has been conducted, but a cause-of-death ruling was on hold pending completion of further postmortem tests, the medical examiner reported. Police disclosed no suspected motive for the alleged domestic slaying in the 4600 block of Torrey Circle. The boy’s father was at work at the time of his son’s death, police said.

Del Mar discusses impacts of downtown revitalization BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET

Mitigating the effects of outdoor dining that would be welcomed with Del Mar’s proposed revitalization concept was one of several topics to cross the table April 2 at the city’s first formal discussion dedicated the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) of the Village Specific Plan. The EIR is meant to examine a number of alternatives and potential impacts — such as noise, traffic and aesthetics — of the revitalization plan, which aims to steer city development and land use toward a more pe-

destrian-friendly, vibrant downtown Del Mar. The plan includes features such as two-lane traffic with roundabouts, increased building height and expanded sidewalks with more outdoor dining. The public comment period for the EIR runs through May 4, and input from community members can be emailed to planning@delmar.ca.us. In the case of outdoor dining, City Manager Scott Huth pointed to the possibility of restaurant activity causing noise issues at night — a concern shared by some residents at the workshop. He said city officials have

looked into a “special-use or conditional-use permit that would restrict restaurant activity at night, knowing that noise in residential areas drops off significantly at night.” “We need to put measures in place as part of the process instead of dealing with them later,” Huth said, adding that reducing business operation times could be a solution to mitigate noise impact. The EIR examined noise caused by traffic, however, it did not take into account noise caused by people, one resident pointed out. Del

Relocatables approved for Ocean Air School BY KAREN BILLING Two new relocatable classrooms will be on their way to Ocean Air School this summer to help alleviate a crowded campus by the start of the 2012-13 school year. The Del Mar Union School District board approved the purchase of the two custom units at its March 28 meeting, a total cost of $392,749 out of

available Community Facilities District (CFD) funds. The price includes custom cabinet and carpet work to match the rest of the campus, finishing asphalt, wiring and upgraded HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning) and the Department of State Architect and inspector fees. The portables, from Class Leasing, will have

stucco exteriors, painted two-tone white and blue to match the rest of the campus. The structures will be at grade, meaning no ramp leading into the classroom. The board had been considering the option of leasing the portables, which for a seven- year lease would be $441,198 or about $46,000 a month in years two through seven.

Any maintenance issues that arose would be the responsibility of the leasing company but leasing wouldn’t allow the kind of customization the district was looking for. Katrina Graupman, Del Mar California Teacher’s Association president, said that the customization — over a standard portable that may be noisy or lack-

ing air-conditioning — makes a difference. “If we create the best facility for students it really does create the best learning environment,” Graupman said. “It makes them feel like a part of the school community just as much as students in the buildings.”

Mar City Councilman Mark Filanc said noise impact needs to be examined from an engineering standpoint, and city consultant Bobbi Herdes agreed that is an additional calculation that can be made. “Let’s say you add another three or four more restaurants,” Filanc said. “Is that going to add more noise to nearby residents? I don’t think from an engineering standpoint it will, but it needs to be examined.” Resident Bill Michalsky said businesses must be

New Cedros sculpture in Solana Beach a bike-lovers’ dream

Fletcher Cove Community Center Dedication Ceremony celebrates upgrade About 80 people young and old attended the dedication ceremony for the Fletcher Cove Community Center on March 28. Once overgrown with ice plant and now neatly terraced with mosaic tables and plants, the outdoor area surrounding the newly renovated center was the focus of the event. The upgrades were made possibly by the landscape architecture of Solana Beach City Councilman Mike Nichols and the funding of community members Peter House and Carol Childs. House is the president of the Highway 101 Association and Childs is president of the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society. “There were so many people there, from landscapers to citizens to kids,” said House. “So many people took part. We provided the funding but everyone else did the work.” House said the project came together quickly — in a matter of a month, and Nichols was at the site almost daily overseeing the landscaping. “Mike is very generous and very humble,” said House. “He gives an enormous amount of time to the city. There’s probably no major project in Solana Beach that doesn’t have Mike Nichols’ thumbprint on it.” — Claire Harlin

Annual Jerry Finnell Memorial Walk to be held May 18 A single daisy, the flower symbolically associated with “loyal love,” will be presented to each participant in the annual Jerry Finnell Memorial Walk to be held May 18 by Del Mar Community Connections on the Del Mar Beach.

BY CLAIRE HARLIN Sculpture artist Amos Robinson remembers vividly the first time he rode a bike as a kid, feeling carefree with the wind blowing through his hair. Decades later, he dreamed about that experience — the freedom he felt on his first set of wheels — and he rushed to his San Diego art studio to recreate it. “I’m a dreamer,” he said. “When I dream something I put it together right away, sometimes without even measuring anything.” That’s the dream behind Robinson’s newest metalwork sculpture, “Love My Bike,” which he installed at the corner of Rosa Street and Cedros Avenue in Solana Beach on March 30. “Public art represents a community’s spir- Amos Robinson’s new metalwork sculpture “Love My Bike.” Photo/Claire Harlin it and offers a sense of pride, bringing people together,” said Sean MacLeod, developer at South Cedros Associates, who commissioned the larger-than-life installation. The sculpture, an artistic rendition of a person on a bike with hair blowing in the wind, is a style Robinson calls “reflective kinetics,” meaning it moves like a windmill in the wind and reflects off its metal surface the surrounding scenery. Robinson’s stainless steel kinetic sculptures have also been seen at Tidelands Park in Coronado, the Wolfstein Sculpture Parks at Scripps Memorial Hospital in La Jolla and Encinitas, and the Manpower corporate office in downtown San Diego. Amos is the “feature artist” of the La Jolla Festival of the Arts, which will be held June 23-24. Visit www.LaJollaArtFestival.org.

Local residents learn ABC’s on pet first aid North Coast residents filled the Del Mar Powerhouse on March 25 to learn how to care for their dogs and cats in a variety of emergency situations. The class, hosted by the Del Mar-Solana Beach Community Emergency Response Team (CERT), was an outreach effort to bolster overall community preparedness and increase awareness of the CERT program. Two local, pet-centric businesses — Dexter’s Deli Del Mar and Tsavo’s Canine Rehabilitation and Fitness Center — underwrote event cost so it could be offered to the public for free. The class focused on teaching dog and cat owners how to provide immediate treatment to improve an animal’s chance of survival until reaching a vet. According to Red Cross Instructor Max Wilson, the highest priority first aid needs for pets are exactly the same as for humans — it’s the ABCs — airway, breathing, circulation. The challenge is there is not a 9-1-1 equivalent to call when a pet is hit by a car, choking, in cardiac arrest or critically injured. “The issue for pet-owners is that there is not an EMS system, paramedics and ambulances, to stabilize and transport your dogs and cats,” said Wilson. “When our pets get injured, it’s up to us to do that. I will teach you how to stabilize your pet in the face of the five critical killers: airway, breathing, circulation — the ABCs — and life threatening bleeding and shock.” Many of the same tactics used to treat humans apply when helping dogs and cats. Owners were instructed to use stomach thrusts and back slaps to help dislodge an object in a choking pet, give rescue breaths and CPR to attempt to resuscitate, cool a burn with water, and treat bleeding with pressure. While reviewing “cheat sheet” handouts on how to address the most serious injuries, Wilson coached, “If your pet requires CPR, don’t panic and get hung up if you can’t remember the exact ratio of breaths to compressions. What’s important is the technique-- delivering effective breaths that inflate the lungs and properly positioning your hands for efficient chest compressions.” Wilson also reviewed what types of supplies to put into a pet first aid kit and demonstrated how to bandage different types of wounds. In all situations, the focus is to stabilize your pet until you can get them to a vet for professional treatment. “It was good to learn that the basic first

Local residents recently gathered at the Del Mar Powerhouse to learn tips on emergency pet care. aid skills that we use for people are just as relevant to our pets,” said Vickie Driver, Solana Beach CERT and Are You Ready disaster preparedness instructor. “I learned valuable tips regarding choking hazards, compression for bleeding and actually cleaning wounds to prevent infection for both cats and dogs. I am going to build my own pet safety kit with bandages, wraps and the other suggested supplies.” The Del Mar, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe and Encinitas Fire Departments will begin the next 4-city Community Emergency Response Team training on April 24. This 24-hour course occurs over a three-week period and teaches residents the basic life and property saving skills to care for their family and neighbors in the event of a major disaster when professional services are overwhelmed. The class is free to residents of these four ciites. For more information, email CERT@encinitas.gov or call 858-7204412.

Del Mar has more than 190 active taxis in operation with 25 companies. In a recent report, city staff stated this “excessive amount of taxicabs … results in excessive traffic, noise, pollution and parking problems.” Last year, the city adopted an emergency ordinance that restricted cabs from parking or stationing in certain areas and established a taxicab stand zone.

The TPHS Jazz Band also cerns regarding the number of cabs in the area is that during peak seasons cabs circle the neighborhoods while waiting on pick-ups. “In the race season we may have 75 circling and that’s not good,” she said. Councilman Mark Filanc said he would hate to see the community “undercabbed.” “It provides a valuable service to the community,” he said. “There’s no law against a cab coming into town and driving around.” The council agreed that there is not a metric for determining the right number of cabs, especially since the need fluctuates from season to season, and from weekend to weekend.

sidewalks. Herdes brought up the issue of cultural resources and historical preservation, adding that consultants are working with the city to formulate a measure that would require historical evaluation for buildings more than 45 years old. There are two historic properties in Del Mar — the Del Mar Library and Stratford Square — that would be protected under the current historic preservation ordinance. As far as biblical resources, Herdes said the only impact would be the removal of trees. The Village Specific Plan offers more benefits than any of the alternatives, and has minimal negative impacts because it is “selfmitigating,” Herdes said “[The plan] offers strategies ensured by future discretionary review,” she said. Resident Mark Stuckelman questioned why the EIR states air pollution will double because of the Village Specific Plan, asking why that was not consid-

ered a negative impact. Herdes said certain thresholds were used in determining whether that change would be significant, and consultants concluded that “when you increase the intensity of use, mobile emissions will double.” This refers to the increased flow of traffic the EIR states will take place with the addition of roundabouts. Resident Richard Simons said changing the height limit on the west side of Camino Del Mar is like messing with “sacred territory.” He said he remembers when the council first wrote the Village Plan, and a lady once stood up at a meeting and said the height limit should be maintained in order to save the character of the city. “At that time, the council said it was a nobrainer,” said Simons. “It’s not about view blockage. It’s about changing the fundamental character of this town for the worse.” Councilman Don Mosier said he appreciates the

wouldn’t have an overcrowding issue if this had been resolved.” While Clorfeine said the parents’ goal is not to burden the district with litigation fees, he said there are legal issues with Mello Roos, residents’ monies paying for a facility to be used as a forprofit, pre-school that people residing outside of the boundary can attend. One of the impacts of the CDC and SPED housing is that kindergartners were displaced from classrooms designed specifically for them as required by law— with an attached restroom. “It negatively affects their day,” said parent Carol Chang, describing how the kindergarten students must walk in a pair across campus to the restroom, cutting into the four hours of instruction time and becoming a safety issue. Parents say more accidents have happened due to

the bathroom not being attached to their classroom; one mother said her kindergartner comes home wet a few times a week. The mother’s other child feels the impact too—she has a fourth grade son who is on an IEP (Individualized Education Program) and is in a class with 29 kids. She said the teacher is great but can only do so much. The CDC and SPED programs have also impacted the school’s relatively small parking lot, with parents calling the situation a “nightmare” at drop off and pick up. They also said the lack of available spaces affects volunteerism. The problem is made worse by the fact that there is no on-street parking by the school because of bike lanes. Last week, the board approved architect Forte’s contract, which included not just the feasability study but

also design services for Sycamore Ridge’s parking lot project. Expanding the parking lot at Sycamore will mean paving over field space – which parent Ian Allen equated to “paving paradise.” “Please don’t spend money to address the symptom, not the problem,” Clorfeine urged the board at the meeting. “Take a step back. Don’t make incremental decisions that have the appearance of leaning a certain way or taking money away from options that might be more viable.” “Parking is the least of our issues,” echoed Adam. “We want to ensure that students who should be served can be served here.” To learn more or sign up for updates, visit ParentsforSycamoreRidge.wordpress.com.

an 18-inch patch — under the direction of GeoSoils Inc. without permits. When the applicant found out it had to obtain permits through both the California Coastal Commission and the city, it decided to increase the scope of the project and pursue maintenance that would provide a

long-term repair instead of the original short-term repair. Essentially, the applicant was wanting to “swap” the projects, as Heebner described it. The applicant asked the council to waive permit fees in seeking new project approval, because $17,000 of the applicant’s money has already been

spent on the current permit, which may not be used. A representative from Seascape Chateau Condominium Association said there are currently four of 30 units for sale and one in foreclosure, and the association would not be able to afford mitigation fees or a major seawall reconstruction.

continued from page 2 closed instead of open-air. Herdes, who collaborated on the EIR under Recon Environmental Inc., presented findings of the report, which for the most part favored the Village Specific Plan. In fact, it concluded that sticking to the status quo in Del Mar would actually produce negative impacts. The “do-nothing impact,” she said, would have a negative impact primarily because the infrastructure wouldn’t be able to deal with excess traffic volumes, which is estimated to reach more than 25,000 vehicles a day. Keeping four lanes in the downtown area would only be able to support 15,500 cars per day, whereas decreasing the street to two lanes with roundabouts would support 25,000 cars per day. Adding signals to the current four lanes would support 30,000 vehicles, however, that would not provide the space to expand

Both take up an entire wing of the campus.

Filance agreed, adding that the council is not seeking to dictate the future of downtown Del Mar. “This is the council receiving input and molding it into what the city and community wants,” he said.

Scripps Clinic neurology chief doubles as sleep disorders specialist BY KATHY DAY Most people find they are either too sleepy or can’t sleep. That’s the starting point when J. Steven Poceta, M.D., begins trying to diagnose a person’s problems in his special field of interest – sleep disorders. The head of the Division of Neurology at Scripps Clinic and a consultant in sleep disorders, the local resident has been on the La Jolla clinic’s staff since 1988. “Sleep [is] very important for a sense of well being and quality of life,” he said in an interview in his office overlooking the Pacific and the Torrey Pines Golf Course. On the walls are photos of Vancouver, British Columbia – a favorite getaway – and of his wife Lori and their two children. Surrounding his desk are journals and patient files. A tall, slender man, he shifts around a bit in the new chair he’s trying out to help with a sore back. A bit formal at first, he relaxes as the interview goes on – adopting a friendly manner certain to go over well with patients. He disdains a few over-

J. Steven Poceta, M.D. Photo/Rob McKenzie used words, says he doesn’t have “a passion” but a “special interest” in sleep disorders, especially those with both neurological and sleeprelated aspects such as restless leg syndrome, sleep-related headaches and circadian rhythm. He also sees patients with sleep apnea, insomnia, excessive daytime sleepiness and sleep-walking. Circadian rhythm disorders – such as jet lag or being an extreme night owl – are the least understood, he said. “I see teenagers not do-

ing well in school because they can’t get up and can’t get to bed at a decent hour.” It’s about whether you are a morning or a night person – which can be evaluated on a 19-question scale, he said. “It’s fairly highly treatable,” he added as he turned on a super intense light box that patients can use to “fool the body” into better sleep patterns. While the scientific side is the basis for diagnoses and treatments, it is the quality and safety issues such as optimizing job performance and staying awake while driving that motivate him. He primarily lets others study long-term consequences such as potential risk factors related to sleep disorders and stroke or cancer. Even so, he has published more than 40 works, including a sleep disorders book. His most recent study, published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, looks at a small group of patients as well as defendants being prosecuted for “sleep driving” who had taken Ambien. Poceta, who received

his bachelor’s degree from the University of Michigan – a half hour drive from his Detroit home – and his M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, calls himself a lucky man. Lucky, he said, that he did well in high school and was able to go to college; lucky that he got a workstudy job in a high-level research lab on campus that enabled him to skip most of the pre-med requirements, and lucky that school was easy for him and that the times were easier than they are for his college-age children. And, later he adds, lucky that his extended family has never faced a major tragedy. Choosing his specialty was not one of those “eureka” moments. “You spend a lot of time in medicine and almost everything is interesting – the eye is interesting, how the kidney works,” he said. Instead, he based his choice more on the personalities of the doctors in the various fields than on the field itself. Neurologists are generally considered the “brainy, nerdy type,” he added, “but I’m not like that.” He just

liked the neurologists he met and felt it was a good fit for him. He was among those on the leading edge of treating sleep disorders, which is atypical for a neurologist. Most sleep specialists are pulmonologists, he said. In 1981-82, he sought out one of the only sleep centers in the country at Stanford and learned about the specialty, which he described as “multidisciplinary and offbeat. It straddles what’s normal and what’s abnormal.” “As corny as is sounds, I really like being a doctor … People thank me every day, and even if I didn’t solve their problem they know I’m trying to help.” While many physicians are keen on research, Poceta finds more satisfaction in clinical work – although his role as head of the Division of Neurology is cutting a bit into his time with patients these days. Being head of a department with 14 practitioners and the paper work, administrative and financial responsibilities that go with that, and his involvement with the sleep lab keep him

on the job 10 to 12 hours a day. He’s also “a little involved with politics” through the San Diego County Medical Society and is closely watching the healthcare reform debate. Acknowledging that many people are “so stressed” about the day-today elements of medicine and the obligations that hospital organizations have to meet, he talked a bit about the history of medicine in the U.S. See SLEEP, page 19

Upcoming Bags & Baubles fundraiser for FACE helps prevent pet ‘economic euthanasia’ BY KELLEY CARLSON The annual Bags & Baubles fundraiser is an opportunity for FACE to shine. Scheduled from 1 to 5 p.m. on April 29 at a private estate in Rancho Santa Fe, the second annual event is one of the Foundation for Animal Care and Education’s premier affairs. About 250 guests are expected to attend, according to FACE Executive Director Stacy Steel. The nonprofit FACE was established in 2006 by a group of veterinarians who were distraught over the rise of “economic euthanasia,” in which pets are left to suffer or are euthanized when their owners can’t afford the cost of treatment. FACE provides financial assistance to animal owners, with money raised through donations and special events such as Bags & Baubles. At the upcoming fundraiser, there will be a silent auction of more than 200 new and “gently loved” designer handbags; starting bids will begin at 10 percent to 15 percent of retail value. “The deals people are able to get on handbags are extraordinary,” Steel said. In addition, there will be opportunities to purchase jewelry, while guests socialize with one another and consume food and beverages. A high-end raffle is also planned, featuring items such as a Nancy Gonzalez purse, a Kazanjian Bros. wooden cuff with South Sea pearls and diamonds, an 18-carat white gold blue topaz necklace by Yael Designs, and a sterling silver beaded bracelet with an 18-carat yellow gold dog charm from Dodo. Tickets are three for $25 or 15 for $100. Lulu, a dachshund who is one of FACE’s success stories, is expected to make an appearance. The “girly” dog loves to dress up and will have three to four changes of clothes, Steel said. About 470 animals have been saved by FACE since its inception. One recent case involved a 3-year-old French bulldog named King. On Christmas Eve, King was running and playing at a dog park when he injured his back. His owner, Bernie, immediately took him to a veterinarian, where he was given a steroid injection. After two months of bed rest, King was on the road to recovery, but he suffered a setback when a loud noise startled him and caused him to jump. Once again, the canine was in pain, and the paralysis in his back legs returned. The steroid shot didn’t work the second time around, and surgery was required.

Lulu, one of FACE’s success stories, is scheduled to make an appearance at the Bags & Baubles fundraiser on April 29. Bernie was presented with a financial challenge. Once a manager for after-school programs, he was laid off because of budget cuts, and had to move in with his parents, who were on a fixed income. Bernie was unable to afford the entire cost of King’s surgery. However, FACE came to Bernie and King’s aid, and helped defray the costs of the procedure. King underwent the surgery on March 15, and the prognosis was positive: The doctors said he would have the ability to walk again. Steel had the opportunity to visit King the day after his surgery. A big bandage covered the length of his spine, but there was comfort in knowing it was only temporary. “He’s adorable,” Steel said. Headquartered in Sorrento Valley, FACE is the largest organization of its kind in San Diego County, Steel said. It provides part and full financial assistance for family pets in need of critical or emergency care, and is affiliated with 67 hospitals in the area. Pet owners in need can call FACE at (858) 450-3223, and fill out a one-page application that can be obtained through the nonprofit’s Web site, www.face4pets.org. “We respond very quickly,” Steel said. The nonprofit obtains paperwork from the veterinarian, and requests proof of financial hardship from the owner. Turnaround can be as short as one hour, and normally occurs within 24 hours, depending on the nature of the emer-

gency, according to Steel. Unfortunately, cases are on the rise, she added. “There’s definitely been an increased demand over the years for our assistance, as families in our community continue to struggle in this economy,” Steel said. It’s the reason FACE needs financial support from the community, in the form of donations, she explained. “The generosity of individual donors provide the FACE recently helped King, resources we need to fund a 3-year-old French bulldog these life-saving procedures,” Steel said. who had injured his back. FACE has provided more than $743,000 in assistance since August 2007, when the nonprofit issued its first grant. The average case costs the foundation $1,500. Funding for FACE is primarily provided by individual pet owners, with additional contributions from hospital partnerships. Special fundraising events are held throughout the year, such as Bags & Baubles. More than $50,000 was raised during Bags & Baubles last year; this year’s goal is $83,500, Steel said. Meanwhile, FACE is still seeking sponsors and handbag donations, which are tax-deductible. Admission to Bags & Baubles is free; the location is provided with an RSVP.

San Diego Jewish Academyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Helping Hands club made sandwiches for the homeless last week.

SDJAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Helping Hands club members feed homeless BY KAREN BILLING San Diego Jewish Academyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Helping Hands service club members made over 200 peanut butter and jelly sandwiches for the homeless to be served through the Destinyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hope Outreach program last week.

Students worked for an hour on March 27 making the sandwiches and even students who arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t in the Helping Hands club stopped by to help. â&#x20AC;&#x153;After every event that people come to they always talk about how rewarding what

co-president Talia Rosen, has participated in several service activities since they started. St. Vincent de Paul Village was their first stop, where they helped pass out food to hundreds of people in the downtown San Diego area. This year, through the Interfaith Shelter Rotational Program, they served food at the Christ Lutheran Church in Pacific Beach. The club raised funds to provide a tasty meal of rotisserie chicken, rolled chicken tacos, macaroni and cheese, Caesar salad, egg salad, fruit, vegetables, croissants, pie, ice cream, chicken fingers and corn. Helping Hearts is next hoping to partner up with Feed America. With the success theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve had at SDJA, Nancy will soon be helping start new chapters of Helping Hands at Torrey Pines High and Bonita Vista in Chula Vista. She is encouraged that other teenagers across the county have the same interest in helping the community as they do at SDJA.

Therapy dogs help Solana Highlands students learn to read — and enjoy it! Liz and John Young, with Therapy Dogs Inc. (far right photo), assist with the school’s program.

Therapy dogs program helps Solana Highlands students learn the joy of reading BY KAREN BILLING Solana Highlands Elementary School is now employing some very special reading helpers: Therapy dogs. The dogs provide a calming, sweet, attentive and non-judgmental audience for students who might otherwise be nervous reading aloud. An added bonus: Students have figured out a way to turn pages and pet a pup at the same time. Emily Glassford-Valenzano, learning center teacher for kindergarten through second grade students, helped coordinate the two-week old program and the biggest thing she’s noticed so far is the confidence it is building in the students. “When the students are reading in the classroom, there’s a lot of pressure, they’re worried about making mistakes,” said Glassford-Valenzano. “They’re more relaxed around the dogs, more willing to take risks.” She told the story of one student who hated to read in class so much that he would be driven to tears. The student was so excited last week that he read six books to one of the

dogs and didn’t want to stop. That story is principal Jerry Jones’ favorite. “The kids love the dogs, it’s so much fun,” said Liz Young, who coordinates the reading program through Therapy Dogs Inc. “The kids get so much out of it. They forget the real world and just enjoy themselves.” With her husband John, the Youngs are testers and observers for Therapy Dogs Inc., a national organization that registers, supports and insures members who are involved in volunteer animal-assisted activities. They have been working with therapy dogs in schools for years, mainly in Arizona before they moved to San Diego three years ago. They have had their reading program at Nativity School in Rancho Santa Fe for the last year and just started at Solana Highlands. “We love working in the schools,” said Young, 73. “We’re retired and it’s a great way to spend your time.” The Youngs pick dogs and volunteers that are really special. Last week, they had Sue Eldred, a volunteer who is a

professor at National University and chair of the school of education. She was accompanied by Buddy, who happily wagged his tail at every student and nudged his nose into their books. Carole Stevens was there with George, who also lends his services to hospitals. George lies contentedly on his back listening to readers as Stevens is cheerfully encouraging and engaging with the students. Susan Okuno, a social worker, volunteers with her dog Rosie, a three-legged dog rescue from Baja who is especially inspirational. “She shows the kids you can get by and do things no matter what,” Young said. It has been rewarding for both Principal Jones and Glassford-Valenzano to see the program click and see students improve their fluency and be proud of their reading. “They don’t want to leave, they want to keep reading,” Glassford-Valenzano. “And these are kids who getting them to read one book [was] a struggle.”

Letters to the Editor/Opinion The right pension facts MAYOR’S VIEW Recently the U-T San Diego castigated Del Mar for unaddressed and unfixed pension issues.

CARL HILLIARD Del Mar Mayor

Granted the U-T based its “Shame on the Cities That Won’t Fix Pensions” editorial on incorrect information from the San Diego County Taxpayers Association (SDCTA). But when the SDCTA sent a correction, the U-T did not print a retraction or my clarifying response. The SDCTA’s correction acknowledged that Del Mar’s increase is only 5.79 percent for FY 2011 to 2012 – a very low increase necessitated by lower investment earnings on CalPERS’ assets over which we have no control. As a member of CalP-

ERS, the state’s defined-benefit retirement program funded through employee and employer contributions, and investment earnings on system assets, our contribution is based on projected actuarial cost. Del Mar has not increased employee wages enough to increase those actuarial costs. CalPERS voted to lower its projected rate of return on investments from 7.75 to 7.50 percent, increasing Del Mar’s annual contributions from $56,130 to $99,540. Alarmingly, the true internal CalPERS’ rate of return is 5 to 6 percent so unless the fund improves performance, there will be further increases. Another inaccuracy in the U-T editorial stated that Del Mar does not have a second-tier pension contribution for new hires. We do, implemented July 1, 2011 for fire and to go into effect July 2, 2012 for miscellaneous classifications. We have instituted other pension cost savings, as well. We were one of the first cities to require employees to contribute the full

employee contribution (8 percent for general employees). In October 2010, fire safety employees began contributing the entire 9 percent share, and by 2013, lifeguard employees will be contributing their entire employee contribution. While the same SDCTA study lauded other cities for reducing pension-system costs, the U-T failed to add that some of those cities had, just prior to the review, a structural deficit with expenses greater than revenues. In order to balance the budget as required by law, those cities cut payroll by eliminating staff positions. Reducing salaries to balance budgets decreases pension costs. We didn’t do that and just as much to the point, Del Mar has a balanced budget with surplus reserves plus a coveted Standard & Poors’ AAA bond rating. We do not pay big salaries or pensions to city employees. Del Mar has done everything right. The U-T cartoon about Del Mar ignoring pension obligations could not be more wrong.

The state of our youth: Unintended losses of adolescent substance abuse BY NANCY KNOTT, M.A., SCRIPPS HEALTH You caught your high school student smoking marijuana. He swears it is the first time he’s tried it, and it won’t happen again. Is this just an adolescent “rite of passage”— or possibly something far more serious? The drugs of choice among adolescents today are far different and much more powerful than those parents experimented with as teenagers. Moreover, the consequences can be far more destructive, and even deadly. Alcohol, marijuana and MDMA (“ecstasy”) lead the list of the most popular drugs among adolescents. Prescription medications such as Oxycontin and Vicodin, along with over-thecounter cold medicines, are simply recreational drugs for some adolescents. Heroin began making a comeback several years ago and is now reaching epidemic proportions in some areas of the country. How concerned should you be? We’ve found that 95 percent of parents underestimate the problem. Consider these daunting statistics: The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) reports that

alcohol use and binge drinking among our nation’s youth is a major public health problem. In 2009, 24 percent of high school students reported episodic heavy or binge drinking, and 10 percent reported driving a vehicle during the past 30 days when they had been drinking alcohol. According to a 2010 survey conducted by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), daily use of marijuana increased among high school students from 2009 to 2010; among 12th graders, usage was at its highest point since the early 1980s. In addition, high school students perceive the regular use of marijuana as less risky than in years past. NIDA also reports that recreational use of OxyContin has increased in 10th graders over the past five years, and use of Adderall and over-the-counter cough and cold medicines among 12th graders remains high. Over 65 percent of 12th graders reported they obtained prescription drugs from a friend or relative, 19 percent got a doctor’s prescription, and 8 percent reported buying them from a dealer.

unquestioned acceptance of shocking violence for sport. Panem et Circenses indeed. Imagine a world where bullies on the playground are unrestrained, with no adult guidance, a la Lord of the Flies. William Golding’s disturbing story of marooned boys becoming savages is believable because we can understand how young children might form packs and behave violently in a world where all adults, their rules and the constraints on behavior imposed by a civilized society, are removed. The Hunger Games is Lord of the Flies, except that adults are not repelled by the children’s actions but instead orchestrate the show for their perverse private viewing pleasure. The fact that Katniss is a young woman of inner strength, with cleverness and physical prowess thrown in, does not compensate for the unrelenting graphic descriptions of children forced to adopt the warped adult values that compel them to kill one another without contrition or mercy. Other children’s books – The Giver and Holes, for example – present possible worlds that bring awareness to children of what might be and what we must do together as a society to prevent the disintegration of moral standards that keep us from destroying one another. Dystopian societies presented in literature – like Margaret Atwood’s The Handmaid’s Tale, Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, or Anthony Burgess’s A Clockwork Orange – do the same for adults. But The Hunger Games is a collapse of all things sane and real and is not for the hopeful or the squeamish. Should it be banned? Never. But it should be marked with red “danger” flags all over it. The Hunger Games presents a terrifying depiction of an implausible world of adults totally devoid of compassion and morality. Although the novel is classified as young adult literature, I’m not even sure I’m old enough to read it. Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr.com.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion Proposed Village Specific Plan an attempt to ‘fundamentally change’ Del Mar The proposed Village Specific Plan, just released, is not an attempt to “revitalize” the Del Mar downtown by the old American way of providing logical incentives and choices. It is an attempt to “fundamentally change” Del Mar, the new socialist way of providing no choice! And I can’t believe that a majority of the citizens of Del Mar will buy it! I have to disclose that I have been a resident and business person in Del Mar since 1955, and I still like what I see in Del Mar! As a resident, the new 30’ height limit on the west side of CDM (Camino del Mar) will surely take away some of the ocean view I have enjoyed since 1964, in order to give it to a new, affordable residence on a second floor above a store in the commercial zone! As a business person, the new “park once” standards will eliminate the reserved parking “on-site” privilege, presently enjoyed, for me and my customers doing an office business in Del Mar, and shopping and eating. We would have to join the fight for parking spaces wherever we could find them — even on the neighbor’s business property! Unlike Obamacare, please see what is in this plan before voting for it!

The pump station delivers the entirety of Del Mar wastewater (approximately 600,000 gallons per day) to the City of San Diego for treatment. The project also includes a new basketball court, parking lot, public restroom, and landscaping improvements. “The new facility provides much needed peace of mind in regards to the City’s wastewater system. The new basketball court and restroom are a nice bonus,” says Public Works Director Eric Minicilli.

SLEEP continued from page 8 “I went to the first medical school in the country and used to look at the old pictures of surgeons … Medicine has been around for a very long time,” he said. It has survived the Great Depression, World War II, not having health insurance, Medicare, he added. “In the long term there are going to be doctors and there are going to be patients … It keeps me from sweating the details.” Poceta’s own personal daily challenge is balancing work and life. “I’m not a workaholic – I work hard – and I enjoy my evenings and weekends,” he said, noting his day usually begins about 5 a.m. and he tries to get home before sunset. When he gets there, he and Lori retire to their garden, where they grow a lot of their own food, and relax with a cocktail. The couple also enjoys cooking — right now they’re working on Indian recipes from a Vancouver restaurant’s cookbook. Then he “turns off” until about 2 a.m. before he starts thinking again. To help, he often meditates. “I’m interested in the body clock and observe mine,” he said. When he’s off the clock, so to speak, he and Lori like to travel, particularly to Vancouver, where they have an apartment. These days, they are studying Turkish as they prepare for a visit to Istanbul.

ABUSE continued from page 18 The NIDA survey also found that use of MDMA has risen among 8th and 10th graders. As with marijuana, the perceived risk of this drug among youth has declined. According to a 2003 report from the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), the purity of heroin in the U.S. increased from an average of approximately 7 percent a couple of decades ago to approximately 69 percent. The increased purity, together with a decreased street price, are likely responsible for the growing number of young heroin users, who can snort the drug rather than inject it. However, many graduate to injecting the drug as their bodies become conditioned to its effects and they need stronger doses to get high. Users who begin by snorting heroin have the highest risk of becoming injection drug us-

Del Mar Solana Beach Rotary Club visits General Atomic facility BY JAN PARSONS, DMSB PUBLIC RELATIONS Thanks to our wonderful member Venky Venkatesh, the Del Mar Solana Beach Rotary held its last meeting at the General Atomic facility in Sorrento Valley, and had a private tour of their fusion energy research facility. Venky has been in Special Projects with GA for over 40 years and was instrumental in designing the retractable ceiling used over the DIII-D Tokamac. Overheard was the comment, “Isn’t it nice knowing we have such smart people in Rotary.” Members were then treated to a demonstration of GA’s Maglev transportation system that uses magnets to power vehicles, which is the future for clean, safe transportation.

Solana Beach kids to hold youth rock concert benefit BY HALLIE SHANNON Solana Beach students will hold a youth rock concert and benefit on Friday, May 11. Four youth bands will come together to perform at this extraordinary event. Bands including Last Minute, Dropping the Slushy, The Indecisives, and The Styrotones will rock-out to raise money for Surfaid International, a nonprofit organization that helps people with malaria prevention, health education, clean water projects, and emergency preparedness in remote villages of Indonesia. “Since our band formed a year ago, we ers. Adolescents who use drugs have a higher risk of addiction than people who begin using them as adults, partly because the are of the teenage brain that controls impulses has not fully matured. Moreover, the younger the person is when drug use begins, the greater the likelihood of addiction. Adolescent substance abuse can lead to number of other significant problems. Users are more likely to engage in risky behaviors such as unprotected sex or driving while under the influence. Drugs and alcohol can adversely affect nearly every part of the body. Alcohol and pills can cause depression, which can result in suicide. Sedatives can disrupt breathing, while stimulants can cause anxiety, heart attack or stroke. Both new and experienced users risk overdosing on heroin—whether it is snorted, smoked or injected— because it often mixed with sugar or other substances and the exact purity is unknown.

have not had many opportunities to perform. I thought it would be great to create a venue for local youth bands, and help others at the same time,” said Natasha Rosenthal, 12, the event organizer. Local sponsors have donated items from a Firewire surfboard to Belly Up tickets, all being raffled off at the event. Come support this great event on Friday, May 11, at the Skyline Elementary Activity Center, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for children. This is sure to be an event that all family members will enjoy.

How can you tell if your child is using drugs or alcohol? Finding drug paraphernalia is an obvious sign of substance abuse, but many other warning signs mirror typical adolescent behavior, such as: •Mood swings or depression •Dishonesty and secretiveness •Anger, irritability or defensiveness •Short-term memory loss •Money missing in the home •Suspicious phone calls or seemingly nonsensical text messages •Unexplained weight loss, red eyes, poor hygiene •Missing school or not coming home after school •Associating with a new group of friends you barely know •Trouble in school or with the police Often, warning signs go undetected for years. If parents are too quick to write off these behaviors as “nor-

mal” without considering the possibility of a deeper problem, they may not realize their child has an addiction until it causes serious health, financial, or legal consequences. Even parents who do everything “right” cannot always prevent their children from being exposed to drugs or alcohol at school, friends’ homes, parties and so on. If you suspect your child may have a problem, help is available. Talk to your physician or call the Scripps Drug and Alcohol Treatment Program at 858626-4300. Nancy Knott, M.A., is an interventionist and counselor with Scripps Drug and Alcohol Treatment Program. Learn more about adolescent substance abuse at “The State of Our Youth” free presentation on April 20 at 7 p.m. on the Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla campus.

The Canyon Crest Academy Swim and Dive Team.

Canyon Crest Academy Swim & Dive Team launches league season with Varsity Boys win Canyon Crest Academy’s Swim and Dive Team opened the 2012 league season with a meet versus Del Norte High School on March 27. While the Varsity Boys team won their competition by total score, the Varsity Girls were edged out by 10 points. “We need more girls to swim,” said Head Swim and Dive Coach Nico Kintz, a two-time Olympian swimmer himself, adding, “Let’s get the word out.” Despite the high ratio of boys to girls on the team, Coach Nico expects CCA to retain its title as Valley League Swim and Dive champions this year. Additionally, he’s counting on having a strong presence at CIF in May. Several student-atheletes on the team have already achieved times automatically qualifying them for CIF competition, including Carly Rasmussen in the 200 Individual Medley and 50 Free; Alex Chen in the 100 Breast; Garrett Schmid and David Twyman in the 100 Back; Ariel Vacheron in Dive; and two 200 Medley Relay teams including Alex Chen, Kyle Grozen, Matteo Lanza-Billeta, Kevin Li, and Garrett Schmid. In addition to the automatic qualifications, divers Shelby Buford and Claudia See garnered point totals at the Del Norte meet earning them CIF consideration. Swimmers receiving CIF consideration in various events so far this season also include Dana Brems, Robert Burklund, Tiffany Chau, Raegan Correll, Charlie Doherty, John Guess, Gayla Hahn, Caiti McCallum, Marcus McCloskey, Dion Mohager, Daniel Santana, Eric Schade, Alesandro Thomson, Josh Trissel, Skylar Wiggins, Derek Yen, and Jonathan Zhu.

Manchester U15 wins Nomads Coaches Showcase It was all-Manchester at the U15 level at the 2012 Nomads Coaches Showcase on March 24-26. While Jeff Illingworth’s CV Manchester U-15 Academy team was winning it all in the First Division, Darren Parker’s U-15 boys were taking top spot in the Second Division. In the process the team exacted revenge not once but twice against talented opponents. “This team played excellent,” said Coach Parker. “We played all three teams that went through to the semis and matched up with them well. We of course had a bit of luck on our side as well. But overall the boys played with a lot of heart and determination.”

Solana Beach TV show introduces kids to fun, healthy cooking BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net Working for M&M’s in New York for eight years, Amanda Curry focused on one marketing strategy: making the colorful chocolate candies “fun, fun, fun.” But after some time, she got to thinking: Why not market healthy food in the same way you would market candy? That idea grew into “The Good Food Factory,” a children’s cooking show that’s filmed at the Center for a Healthy Lifestyle in Solana Beach and aired daily on Channel 4 San Diego (also known as 4SD or Cox 4). “Healthy food has this stigma; everyone thinks it’s boring,” said Curry, who brought her TV show idea, in the form of four pilot episodes, from New York to San Diego four years ago. “I had decided I’d had it

Whoever they are as a child, that’s what we want.” AMANDA CURRY Host, The Good Food Factory with New York City,” she said. “New York is a drinking town, it’s cold, I had a dog, I wanted more exercise and I wanted to get outside. Being unhealthy myself, I decided I was going to Encinitas to learn how to surf.” Surfing was her calling, so to speak, and Curry surfed a lot when she first arrived on the West Coast. She eventually shared her pilot episodes with Cox and “they loved it,” she said. Getting on the network prompted Curry to film a series of 15 episodes, each with different themes and different

local children. For example, she featured surfer kids in one episode and taught them how to cook a filling breakfast, as well as a healthy mid-day snack. Curry always features three recipes per episode, and she teaches how to make snacks along with doing an activity in order to teach the importance of eating well while staying active. In one of her favorite episodes, Curry featured local, 7-year-old skateboarding star Annika Vrklan and her siblings, Kieren, Klara and Elek. Curry showed the kids how to make “Skater Snacks” —

She features local children and encourages them to be themselves. “We are like Rachel Ray meets ‘Kids Say the Darndest Things,’” said Curry. “We want it to be realistic. We don’t coach the kids or rehearse. We have shy kids and cranky kids and boisterous kids. Whoever they are as a child, that’s what we want.” Curry said the unscripted nature of the show has brought out some funny moments. She said one time a little girl put her foot up on the counter to show off her pedicure, and another child once volunteered the information: “My dad toots a lot.” When it comes to production, Curry has a five-person crew, but does much of the See FOOD, page B20

International high school essay contest launched Free fruit tree workshop to be held April 14 Part of the International Bipolar Foundation’s (IBPF) mission is to erase stigma associated with mental illness through public education. To that end, the Foundation has launched a global essay contest open to all high school students internationally. “Our hope,” says Muffy Walker, president and founder of IBPF, “is that students will be interested in winning the prize and thereby research stigma in order to write the essay. In so doing, we will be educating a lot of young people and hopefully changing their perception about mental illness.” The topic of the essay is “Changing the Future of Stigma; Bipolar Disorder in 2020.” First and second place winners will be judged by a panel of authors who currently write about bipolar disorder and mental ill-

ness, and the winner will be announced in May to celebrate May as Mental Health Month. In addition, the First Place winner will receive $500 and the Second Place winner will receive $100. Both winners will have the opportunity to read their essay via Skype at the Foundation’s Public Forum with former Congressman Patrick Kennedy on May 22. For more information about the International Bipolar Foundation or to receive the essay rules and registration form, contact Ashley Reitzin: areitzin@internationalbipolarfoundation.org.

â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Thisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; is a lot about that mid-life stuff at North Coast Rep BY DIANA SAENGER Playgoers have a tendency to appreciate tried-and-true productions but also innovative ones that come from out of the box. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what patrons of the North Coast Repertory Theatre will encounter with Melissa James Gibsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thisâ&#x20AC;? onstage through April 29. Directed by Kirsten Brandt, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thisâ&#x20AC;? is a comedy told through a physiological look at middle-aged characters who face changes in their lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I loved about this play is the language Melissa

writes,â&#x20AC;? Brandt said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She writes it like a musical composition to help navigate where you need to go as an actor and as a director, and uses language to see the obvious, but also to quote the subtext in an unusual way. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a melancholy comedy thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s really funny and I think a rare find for people my age with questions like, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Have I met the right person? Am I doing the right thing? So for me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s nice to grapple with issues my friends and I are going through â&#x20AC;Ś and to have two women characters that offer really good

The story takes place over a week leading up to the anniversary of Janeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s husbandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s death, which she must deal with along with attention from Tom, who is married to Marrell. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a jazz singer who is getting a lot of attention from Alan. Then thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the French doctor, Jean Pierre, who arrives.

Let the Men in Black take you for a ride BY MARTI GACIOCH Men in Black wants to take you for a ride — to San Diego Airport or a wedding, prom or party of your choice — in a stretch limousine or luxury sedan. After opening Men in Black, their high-end transportation service in 2009, co-owners/brothers Selim and Umut Aslan, worked hard to grow their business to the 15 employees and a fleet of 11 luxury vehicles it has today. The pair learned the limousine business by working for another San Diego limousine company for three years. “While working there we recognized a lot of flaws and realized how we could run a company with better practic- Men in Black Transportation: es,” Selim Aslan said, “so we decided to start our own busi- (858) 764-4467 or www. ness that would provide a cost-effective service.” mibtransportation.com The brothers work as a team with Umut handling the marketing and Selim, an SDSU (San Diego State University) management student, doing the accounting and management. The owners are proud of their expanding fleet, which comprises seven luxury sedans, Lincoln Town Cars — including a new Lincoln MKZ – as well as Chrysler sedans, an SUV, and two Lincoln stretch limousines. Their largest stretch limousine (180 inches long) carries up to 14 passengers. Always seeking ways to improve their business, the Aslans are now in the process of upgrading their fleet by buying more fuel-efficient vehicles like the Lincoln MKZ sedan, which gets 28 mpg on the highway. “By summer, we would also like to buy a party bus that seats 26 people,” Aslan said. “A party bus will provide us with the ability to move larger groups of people to weddings, proms and special events. “We are very reliable and provide a 24/7 executive class service, and our rates are special,” Aslan added. “We recommend a 24-hour advance reservation for the airport, and passengers will be driven by a uniformed driver in a luxury car that is always well-maintained, washed and detailed before use.” Men in Black Transportation, 5595 Magnatron Blvd. D San Diego, (858) 764-4467, http://www.mibtransportation.com/Online-Reservation-System.html

Straight Teeth Can Lead To A More Enjoyable Life Special on Invisalign! Why should I have straighter teeth? Most people think that having a straighter smile is purely a cosmetic enhancer. There are more reasons to consider why having straighter teeth can lead to a better and more enjoyable life. Fortunately today, these are options that are more appealing to people that allow them to obtain a straighter smile that don’t involve conventional braces. Invisalign, is an option that offers cutting-edge approaches to getting straighter teeth with great comfort, minimal interferences in how you live,

and a unique way of getting results that will last for a lifetime. Clear aligners are custom fitted for your teeth. The virtually invisible aligners are smooth and comfortably engineered plastic that are designed to be removed when you want during the day which allows for you to clean your teeth easily. Conventional braces requires brackets and wires, which can sometimes poke and irritate your mouth. Brushing and flossing with braces also requires extra effort. Mention this

BY JILL WEITZEN MACDONALD The Del Mar Foundation celebrated its 30th Anniversary on Saturday night, March 31, with a party at the Powerhouse bringing together past and present board members, donors and volunteers for a fun-filled tribute to the oldest nonprofit organization in Del Mar. Founding members Joel Holliday and Lou Terrell highlighted the evening with tales of the early days of the Foundation. Guests were treated to the music of longtime UCSD professor and Del Marian Bert Turetsky, feasted on food prepared by the restaurant Pacifica Del Mar, and enjoyed the banter of guest bartenders Robby Anderson, Dan Crabtree, Cory Grant, Randy Hoyle, Bill Michalsky, and Wes Huggett. The party had an ‘80s theme as a tribute to 1982, the year the Del Mar Foundation was established. Movie posters and record albums from the era decorated the Powerhouse and ‘80s dress was encouraged. Thirty-eight current and former members of the board of directors were in attendance, as were Mayor Carl Hilliard and City Council members Mark Filanc, Don Mosier and Lee Haydu. San Diego County Supervisor Pam Slater-Price proclaimed March 31 Del Mar Foundation Day in honor of the work of the Del Mar Foundation over the past 30 years.

Thriving Fairen Del and The Madison Suite deliver ‘magic’ to devoted clients BY KAREN BILLING Longtime Flower Hill Promenade shop owner Irina Rachow likes to say she delivers magic through her two center stores, Fairen Del and The Madison Suite. Rachow has been a part of the shopping center on Via de la Valle for 18 years, creating Irina Rachow owns stores that she hopes Fairen Del and make people feel good the second they Madison in Flower step inside. “I live in daydreams and I like to deliver that experience to people,” Rachow said. She may live in daydreams but they are daydreams with finely-tuned business plans. In addition to her two stores in Flower Hill, she also has two in Carlsbad and, in July, she is set to open up her fifth, called Sheridan in the renovated Rancho Valencia resort with partner Deni Jacobs. The new boutique is currently under construction at the resort, set in the middle of a beautiful new patio area, new bar and restaurant. She said the key to her success in a down economy when many have had to close their businesses is building relationships and having a good attitude—she describes herself as “appropriately cautious, not irresponsibly optimistic.” “I’m lucky in that I don’t feel that I can fail,” Rachow said. “I’ve always had good relationships with people. I think that landlords and resort owners trust the way I do business. I also have a unique vision and they are willing to bank on that with me.” She also knows that success is more than just a pretty store, she also credits her “phenomenal” team of employees.

“I feel so lucky to have the strong people that I have with me,” Rachow said. “My people stay and there’s not a lot of turnover. To me, that is the biggest compliment.” Rachow has been at Flower Hill since 1994, when she opened the original Madison to match her store in Carlsbad that opened in 1991. In late 2007, she sold the store at Flower Hill and when it didn’t work out for the buyers she returned to open Fairen Del in 2009. The spot next to her two-story Fairen Del opened up last year and she brought back Madison, which has been open for the last six months. She also owns a second Fairen Del in Carlsbad. While Fairen Del is a “true women’s boutique” (the bottom floor is strictly shoes), Madison has a much more masculine feel with maps and ships on display in between all of the luggage that caters to “Indiana Jones to James Bonds types.” “We really romanced it,” said Rachow of the store. “We really know this business, my staff and myself are all world travelers and people know that. Our clientele is very loyal.” Flower Hill’s renovation has been a challenge to work around but Rachow said that her clients have stuck with them and she said sales have barely taken a dip. “Every center anywhere goes through renovations like this. This is Flower Hill’s turn. There’s light at the end of the tunnel,” Rachow said. “It’s going to be beautiful. I know that some new stores are coming in that I’m excited about, that will round out the mix we have. Flower Hill was very overdue for getting a refreshed look. I’ve seen a lot of businesses come and go, but I think the stores we have in here are pretty great.” Check out Fairen Del at The Madison Suite at fairendel.com.

Del Mar Diner: Local eatery offers Northeast comfort food BY CLAIRE HARLIN editor@delmartimes.net A New England-style diner in Del Mar? That’s the surprised reaction many express after stumbling upon Del Mar Diner, located at 2638 Del Mar Heights Rd., which has been open about six months. Owner Unal Samanci, who you can usually find on site flipping eggs and burgers with the line cooks, worked in diners in Boston for decades before relocating to San Diego. He said the diner concept is a part of the life on the East Coast, but it takes some getting used to for Californians. “In New England they know what to expect from a diner,” he said. “In California people expect upscale a lot, but this is less expensive and it’s comfort food.” The community is still discovering Del Mar Diner, which is tucked away in the

“Half our dinner is breakfast.” UNAL SAMANCI OWNER, DEL MAR DINER Del Mar Heights Village shopping center, but most people who discover the eatery come back time after time, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Samanci said the locals have especially appreciated having a casual, family atmosphere nearby. “We have a lot of parents with kids that come in because we have a good kids menu and the kids feel comfortable here,” he said, adding that the kids menu favorites include chocolate chip pancakes and macaroni and cheese. Others have enjoyed getting full service on the sunny front patio, and ordering breakfast any time of day has also been a selling point.

“People come here, and they feel like they are eating at home,” he said. “You can get whatever you want, and half of our dinner is breakfast.” He said some of the most commonly ordered dishes are hamburgers and breakfast items like eggs Benedict.

doing,” he said. To make his restaurant more like a real New England diner, Samanci said he may consider keeping the eatery open 24 hours eventually, depending on if the community wants that. He also plans on adding more breakfast items because

breakfast has been so popular with the community. “As of now, we are still improving and people have told us we’ve improved since we first opened,” Samanci said. “People are telling us we’re Del Mar’s best-kept secret, and that’s what we want to be.” For more information, visit www.delmardiner.com or call 858-259-4880.

Free harp concert features local musician

Julia Marie Schorn The San Diego Chapter of the American Harp Society and Mission Trails Regional Park are sponsoring a free one hour harp concert on Sunday, April 15. The 3 p.m. concert will feature two accomplished harpists, Julia Marie Schorn, a Carmel Valley resident and student at Canyon Crest Academy, and Alexandra Tibbitts, a student at San Diego State University. Julia will open the program with the Concierto de Aranjuez, II, Adagio by Joaquin Rodrigo. She will be accompanied by pianist Rebecca Ramirez. During the first half of the program Julia will also play Sonata No. 1 by F.J. Naderman, Bach- Grandjany Etude No. 3 Sarabande by Johann Sebastian Bach, Noel No. 3 of the Six Noels by Marcel Tournier, Tango from the Suite of Eight Dances by Carlos Salzedo, and La Fille Aux Cheveux De Lin by Claude Debussy. Alexandra will perform the second half of the program. Her selections will include First Arabesque by Claude Debussy, Libertango by A. Piazzolla, Petite Suite for Harp by David Watkins, Pavane and Variations by de Cabezon, Romance by Francisco Palero, Hachas by Lucas Ruiz de Ribayaz, and Feerie by Marcel Tournier. Julia Marie Schorn, 17, is a junior at Canyon Crest Academy, where she is a member of the Instrumental Music Conservatory Program. She is also a member of the CCA Javanese Gamelan Orchestra where she plays the kempul and gong. Julia is currently the Principal Harpist of the Symphony Orchestra and Philharmonia of the San Diego Youth Symphony and Conservatory. She is in her fifth year with the San Diego Youth Symphony and Conserva-

tory and was awarded the 2010 Carson Kemp Memorial Scholarship by SDYS. Julia was a First Prize winner in the 2012 MTAC San Diego Branch VOCE Music Competition and will advance to the State Finals in late April. She was also the only harpist selected in the State of California in 2012 for the prestigious CODA California All State Honors Orchestra. In addition, Julia was invited to be part of a select group of young musicians to perform “Side by Side” with the San Diego Symphony at a May 20, 2012 concert at Copley Symphony Hall, performing along with the San Diego Symphony musicians. Julia is active in the community as the harpist for the St. Therese of Carmel Choir, which performs sacred choral music. She is the president of the CCA Music Moves Community Service Club in which she organizes monthly community outreach performances, with other student musicians, vocalists, and dancers, primarily in nursing homes and settings where the homebound residents do not have the opportunity to attend concerts or recitals. Julia began her musical studies on the piano at the age of five. She began her studies on the pedal harp at age 12. She performs on a Salvi Apollo Concert Grand harp. The concert will be held in the Mission Trails Regional Park Visitor Center Theater, located at One Father Junipero Serra Trail San Diego, CA 92119, and will begin promptly at 3 p.m. Refreshments will be provided by the Mission Trails Regional Park.

‘High Five Day’ to support local cancer research Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute is one of four beneficiaries of this year’s National High Five Day and its program, the “High-Five-a-Thon for Cancer Research,” taking place April 19. Anyone can participate in the event by creating a profile page at nh5d.stayclassy.org. Participants agree to give 55 (or more) high-fives on April 19. They are then encouraged to reach out to friends and family through e-mail and social media to gain support. Individuals or teams can participate. They will earn prizes for reaching certain fundraising goals along the way. The National High Five Project organizes the event. Jacob Feala, formerly a postdoctoral researcher at SanfordBurnham, sits on the board of the National High Five Project, and invited the Institute to apply as a beneficiary. In previous years, National High Five Day has been celebrated in elementary school classrooms, on college campuses, in offices and in retirement communities. This is the first year it is being used to raise money for cancer research.

Jewelry sale to benefit Indian street children; Donations needed Donations of unwanted jewelry are sought for a sale to benefit poor street children in India. The event will be held from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, April 28, at Bernini’s Bistro, 7550 Fay Ave. in La Jolla. Last year Bernini’s owner Reyhan Gumustekin helped raise enough money to send three Indian street children from the Mandawali slum to the Alpha Montessori School in East Delhi, India. This year, she hopes to raise enough to continue that support, fund additional scholarships and provide supplies for the school. Donations are being accepted during operating hours at: • Maria Montessori School, 4544 Pocahontas St. in San Diego • Bernini’s Bistro, 7550 Fay Ave. in La Jolla The sale will begin April 27 from noon to 2:30 p.m. at Maria Montessori School. Last year donations ran the gamut from estate pieces to children’s bangles and earrings. For more information, visit igniteafl.org.

David Alan Collection hosts a special fundraiser April 14: ‘Profoundly… James Hubbell’ When the fires swept through Julian in 2003, almost everything was destroyed on Hubbell Hill.

Besides putting on “The Good Food Factory,” Curry is the director of The Center for a Healthy Lifestyle, which is housed under the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito. Curry hosts cooking classes for kids, brings in local students from neighboring elementary schools and Amanda Curry also holds cooking camps at the center, which is also home to an organic gardening program for kids. She will soon be bringing in kids from La Colonia de Eden Gardens to teach a free “Healthy Mexican” cooking class. Curry said her job is “a dream come true,” but there is still a need for the community to know how important the Center for a Healthy Lifestyle is. “We hope people who believe in the show will advertise,” she said, adding that the production of new episodes is entirely dependent on whether the show can get funding. Many of the previous shows have been funded by Curry herself or made possible through the help of volunteers. Curry said she would like to see the show go national, and it has already gotten exposure on Food Network star Jamie Oliver’s website, which reaches an international audience. “I’d love to see the show be successful and inspire kids nationwide, but I want to keep the production here in this spot and make it with local friends and people I consider family,” she said. “The future success of this country and the next generation is based on folks keeping things local, keeping things honest and keeping things positive.” For more information, visit www.thegoodfoodfactory.com

PET CONNECTION ROWAN is a 1 yr old male, neutered, Aussie/duck tolling retriever mix, weighing 28lbs. Rowan came to us from North County Shelter after being hit by a car. He had a fractured back leg that needed orthopedic surgery to repair. He is 5 weeks out of surgery and is doing great! His x-rays show he is healing much quicker than expected. He is a sweet, mellow, affectionate little guy who loves lying in the sun, getting belly rubs and taking short walks around the yard. He is still on limited activity for the next two weeks. He is crate trained, housetrained, good with other dogs, and loves everyone he meets. His small size makes him a good candidate for a condo or small yard. He is going to make a great companion for the right family. He has not been around cats or small children.
