ASB accounts bring in major money for schools
BY MARSHA SUTTON Contributor Local schools raise hundreds of thousands of Associated Student Body dollars each year, money collected from students and parents to support specific programs and school activities. Different from nonprofit education foundation money, ASB funds are used for student activities such as dances, competitions, clubs, academic teams, rallies, assemblies, yearbook and other literary publications. But often this money is insufficiently monitored. ASB funds are “the number one area for findings in an audit report,” according to School Services of California, an education advocacy organization. Because of this, SSC recommends “that district- and site-level staff receive training in this area on a regular basis to ensure that the district as well as the employees are being protected.” Eric Dill, San Dieguito Union High School District associate superintendent for business services, said the district’s independent auditors conduct annual audits of all the schools’ ASBs, and any findings or recommendations are included in audit reports. Although auditors have had findings, Dill said it has been many years since they discovered anything significant. “They have never had See ASB, page 6

First medical marijuana cooperative opens in DM BY JOE TASH Contributor Del Mar’s first medical marijuana cooperative opened on Friday, April 1, and city officials swiftly took the initial steps to shut the operation down. Before the end of the day, Adam Birnbaum, the city’s planning manager, hand-delivered a letter to Patrick Kennedy, managing director of the 1105 Cooperative at 1105 Camino Del Mar, stating that his business license had been revoked and the cooperative does not comply with city zoning rules. “The gentleman who applied for a business license has been advised that medi-
cal marijuana cooperatives or dispensaries are not an allowed use at that location or any location in the city of Del Mar,” said Birnbaum. “We’ve advised the property owner as well. The city attorney has been advised and will take the necessary enforcement actions.” At issue is whether the city has the right to prohibit medical marijuana cooperatives. According to Kennedy, 55, a building and solar energy contractor who runs the 1105 Cooperative, the answer is “no.” “State law gives us the right to administer medical marijuana,” said Kennedy. “You can’t have an outright ban. The courts will side
with me.” But according to a spokesman with the state Department of Justice, the See MARIJUANA, page 6
She was only 19 years old when she landed in a Michigan prison on a drug charge, 21 when she scaled a barbwire fence to escape. Thirty-three years later, Susan LeFevre’s past came to her doorstep in Carmel Valley where she had created a new life living as Marie Walsh, a wife, mother and secret fugitive. Taken back to prison in 2008, Walsh has been out since April 2009. A new book, “A Tale of Two Lives: The Susan LeFevre Fugitive Story” tells her unbelievable story and the “Fugitive Mom” has again captured the nation’s attention—she will be featured on Oprah on April 7 and appear on The Today Show on April 8. Walsh once thought the “Fugitive Mom” label was crass but has embraced it now, it’s the way people know her and the platform she has been given to tell her story, one that carries a message that the prison system needs to be reformed. Proceeds from her book will go toward re-entry programs for women released from prison. “(Prison) was unbeliev-
ably painful and the only way to take care of that pain is to use it for good,” Walsh said. “There needs to be more rehabilitation and education in prison, more than just a façade of it like it is now. It is almost devastating for some women to get out, the transition is very hard if they’re poor or don’t have a family like I did.” Walsh’s story begins in 1974, when she was arrested with two and a half grams of heroin, about $20 worth of drugs. She maintains that she was not guilty of selling drugs but was just taken advantage of for her age and naiveté by her co-defendant, a 22-year-old who ended up serving three-and-a-half years for the crime. “I wasn’t a drug dealer but I did use drugs. I was on a wrong path,” Walsh said. In her book, Walsh writes how she later found out the Saginaw, Mich., judges had made a pact that every drug offense would get 10-20 years—it was a kind of a “witch hunt,” she said. “I thought it was a misunderstanding,” said Walsh, who was so unaware that See FUGITIVE, page 7

TPHS students win big in science and technology competition Torrey Pines High School students were honored recently when three San Diego-area student teams were recognized for their innovative entries in ExploraVision. They were selected as three of 24 total regional winners from a group of 4,346 entries, representing the participation of 13,387 students in this year’s program. The Toshiba/NSTA ExploraVision competition asks students to imagine ideas for future technologies that could exist in 20 years. The teams are now creating Web sites to be submitted for national judging in May. The Torrey Pines team members included: Albert Chen, Xinyue (Alice) Fang, Howon Lee, Marci Rosenberg (12th grade), Brinn Belyea (coach). Their project was Pseudopancreatic Autograft Jejunum (P.A.J.), which replaces insulin injections with a more liberating treatment for diabetics that would utilize special insulinproducing yeast and tissue from a portion of the small intestine (jejunum) to create a virtual insulin-producing “pancreas” in the body.

Clinton brings Global Initiative University to UCSD BY LYNNE FRIEDMANN Contributor “Today’s generation of young people holds more power than any generation before it to make a positive impact on the world.” These words from former President Bill Clinton are at the heart of the Clinton Global Initiative University (CGI U), an annual meeting designed to engage the next generation of leaders on college campuses around the world. From April 1 through 3, the fourth annual CGI U convened on the UCSD campus. “We chose UC San Diego because of its ongoing, consistent commitment to community service,” Clinton said. When he took the stage Friday night at the RIMAC Arena, the crowd —which included of nearly 1,200 students, representing 349 schools, 90 countries and all 50 states— rose to its feet as one and gave the president a thunderous, rock-star welcome. CGI U participation is through a competitive application process that includes the student’s commitment to action. Over the course of the three days, attendees network with peers and learn about innovative ideas
Former President Bill Clinton meets the audience during the Clinton Global Initiative University meeting at UC San Diego. PHOTOS: UCSD to tackle poverty alleviation, education, environment and climate change, peace and human rights, and public health. More importantly, they attend skill-building sessions that address fundraising, community engagement, partnership building, and the use of social media to market a cause. To date, CGI U has been a catalyst to over 3,000 commitments to action by college students. Innovative ideas from local students include Incentives for Opportunity by UCSD student Maclen Zilber that seeks to raise student awareness of new tax
credits for books. In partnership with UCSD bookstore, information will be printed on sales receipts and students can receive email reminders that tally eligible purchases and receive pointers on how to claim them on their tax return. The effort could save UCSD students at least $2.5 million dollars per year. Lighting Up Post-Disaster Communities is the brainchild of UCSD students Erika Jue and Maria Elisa Martinez and Indiana University-Purdue University at Indianapolis student Lila Petersen. Moved by the aftermath of the 2010 Chilean
earthquake, this project commits to providing offgrid, solar-powered lighting for 50 families displaced by the earthquake and living in transitional shelters. When the families move to permanent housing, they will take the mobile solar panels with them; units that can be installed by a single person, quickly and easily. Their project was one of 16 selected for the CGI U Commitment Bracket Challenge, a take-off on the NCAA tournament bracket for college basketball. People from around the world were encouraged to vote online for their favorite commitment. On Saturday night, President Clinton announced the winner: The School Fund (www.theschoolfund.org), a website that connects people wanting to make micro-grants to individual students in developing countries in need of education funding. The effort began after Brown University student Matt Severson spent time in Tanzania, where primary school is free but secondary school fees cost upwards of $150 a year, well beyond the means of thousands of students. Severson helped one student realize his goal of at-
Chelsea Clinton addresses the crowd. tending secondary school and that led to creation of The School Fund. To date, the project has fully funded 100 secondary students at 19 schools in Tanzania, Kenya, and Haiti. The next phase seeks to recruit an additional 800 funders for 500 students and to extend funding to students in Ethiopia, India, Madagascar, Malawi, Sierra Leone, Uganda, and Zimbabwe. In lauding this and other student projects committed to education in the developing world, President Clinton remarked “A year of school adds 10 percent to earnings…for life.” Other notable program participants of this year’s CGI U included YouTube co-
founder Chad Hurley; actors and humanitarians Sean Penn, Drew Barrymore, and Mandy Moore; the president’s daughter Chelsea Clinton; California Lieutenant Governor Gavin Newsom, Qualcomm Chairman and CEO Paul E. Jacobs; UC San Diego Chancellor Marye Anne Fox; Life Technologies Chairman and CEO Greg Lucier; and Jessica O. Matthews, co-inventor of sOccket – a soccer ball that doubles as a portable energy generator for use in parts of world with little or no access to electricity. “(The goal) not just solve a problem but solve it in a fun way…and, make it become part of daily routine,” said Matthews of the product that in as little as 15 minutes of play generates enough energy to power a LED light up to three hours. CGI U concluded on Sunday morning at the San Diego Food Bank, with students worked with volunteers, and the announcement that the non-profit has been renamed Jacobs & Cushman San Diego Food Bank following major donations by auto dealer Stephen Cushman and Qualcomm co-founder Irwin Jacobs to retire the food bank’s mortgage.
Public can now submit redistricting plans and suggestions online The county wants to hear from you! Everything the public needs to submit redistricting plans and suggestions for San Diego County’s 2011 redistricting process is now available on the county’s redistricting website. From now until May 9, members of the public can submit their proposed plans for one or more of the county’s five supervisorial districts using the new 2010 census data. In county redistricting, a “plan” means a set of data that assigns census tracts or blocks to a particular district. The 2010 census data for building these plans is now online, along with detailed instructions, definitions and submission guidelines.
The public should submit plans as electronic files. Each publicly-submitted plan will be published online and forwarded to the county’s Redistricting Advisory Committee for consideration. In addition to submitting redistricting plans, residents are encouraged to contribute ideas and suggestions about county redistricting to the Redistricting Advisory Committee in person at any of the committee’s meetings or by email or U.S. mail. A meeting schedule and contact information is posted on the redistricting website. The county’s Redistricting Advisory Committee is the citizen’s panel charged with gathering public opinion on how to ad-
just the county’s supervisorial district boundaries to balance their populations. Such balancing is required by law every ten years following the census. At its upcoming public meetings, including an evening meeting in each district, the committee will consider the public’s plans and suggestions. Ultimately, the committee must recommend no more than three proposed redistricting plans to the board of supervisors. The board will adopt a final redistricting plan that takes effect in early September. Please visit the county’s redistricting website is at www.sdcounty.ca.gov/redistricting.

ASB continued from page 1 any material findings that indicated funds were missing for any reason or that ever led us to suspect funds were fraudulently used or misappropriated,” he said in an email. The common themes in the findings, going back to 2003, are shortcomings in internal controls to document the flow of purchases, invoices, payments and deposits, Dill said. Audits made available by the district between 2003 and 2007 showed numerous violations, prompting the district to enact oversight and training measures. Since then, Dill said there has been only one, in 2010 at San Dieguito Academy, which found that a number of cash transmittal deposit forms were not signed. The district’s response on the 2010 report stated that training on cash receipts, with detailed procedures on collection, verification and documentation, was conducted. Dill said this training was given to ASB personnel at all school sites “to prevent reoccurrence.” The district also wrote that it will continue “to monitor activity and procedures with site visits from the internal auditor as well as upgrading software to provide district-level oversight.” Before 2008, violations were noted at Carmel Valley Middle School in 20032004, Diegueno Middle School and two at La Costa Canyon High School in 2004-2005, Oak Crest Middle School and Canyon Crest Academy in 2005-
MARIJUANA continued from page 1 issue remains unsettled. Cities can regulate where cooperatives are located, and how they operate, but, “until the courts address the issue, the validity of outright prohibitions remains an open question of law,” the spokesman said. In any event, Kennedy insisted the 1105 Cooperative won’t create problems for nearby residents and businesses. The nonprofit cooperative will only provide medical marijuana to its members, who must possess a valid California ID card and a recommendation from a licensed medical doctor. No signage on the exterior of the building will indicate that medical marijuana
2006, and two at Earl Warren Middle School in 20062007. In most cases, the violations were internal control weaknesses such as late deposits to bank, invoices not marked as paid, inadequate documentation, improperly completed cash transmittal forms, unauthorized contracts and inability to reconcile tickets sold with cash received. Dill said the district has increased its involvement and oversight of ASB accounting since 2007 and now has a dedicated district accounting person in the finance department to review monthly ASB financial reports and bank reconciliation statements. Additionally, the finance department holds quarterly ASB training sessions to ensure compliance with established guidelines, according to the 20062007 audit report. An internal auditor conducts comprehensive audits of ASBs and regularly tests their records and procedures just as the external auditors do, Dill said. “District staff is now connected to each ASB’s accounting software package so that we may review their transactions and financials at any time,” he said. And procedures and issues are regularly reviewed by site ASB directors, assistant principals and district finance administrators. “None of this is reactionary,” Dill said. “We’re not aware of any problems with any of our ASBs, but we want to keep it that way. So we are strengthening our oversight and internal controls over student body funds.” Dill said ASB accounts have no impact on the dis-
trict’s general fund or its instructional programs, but “it’s important that the adults teach kids how to run an organization and keep it fiscally sound,” he said. “We treat ASB accounting very seriously,” he said. “Students contribute to those funds and deserve professional handling and oversight of their money to make sure that the funds are secure and will be used for the intended purpose of benefitting the student body.” Where the money goes Reports from July 1, 2009 through June 30, 2010 show that income for the 2009-2010 school year for ASB accounts for the two local high schools exceeded $1.5 million. The ASB report for Torrey Pines High School shows a beginning balance of $333,281, income of $809,702, and expenses of $779,050 – for an ending balance of $363,933. The ASB report for Canyon Crest Academy shows a beginning balance of $232,682, income of $701,683, and expenses of $704,154 – for an ending balance of $230,211. In the Torrey Pines ASB records, there were 186 separate accounts – although some were listed twice, with one account showing income and zero expenses, and a second account for the same club or activity showing expenses and zero income. Because income and expenses for the same club or activity were not always placed together in the same account, reconciling the numbers was sometimes difficult. Canyon Crest had 110 accounts, with income and expense numbers together
is dispensed on the premises, Kennedy said. The windows of the nondescript storefront are frosted so passersby cannot see inside. The cooperative will dispense 20 varieties of marijuana to members for treatment of a variety of illness. The marijuana will also be grown by cooperative members. Patients will be asked to make a donation for the marijuana they receive, and also pay state sales tax and a 5 percent charitable contribution. “My goal here is to run an operation, a not-for-profit cooperative in the true sense, bringing farmers that produce the medicine and patients that use the medicine together in a private club. The goal is 100 percent respect of the neighborhood,” Kennedy said. “It’s clean, it’s innocuous from the outside, it doesn’t bring
attention to itself.” Visitors who enter the front door of the cooperative find themselves in a vestibule with a counter. Past a security door, a glass display case contains neatly labeled jars of various varieties of cannabis. Kennedy said the marijuana is dispensed in plastic containers that look like prescription drug vials, and sealed inside a bag with instructions not to open the bag until the patient arrives at his or her destination. Loitering is also prohibited under the cooperative’s rules. The doctors’ recommendations are verified through a statewide online database. Currently, the city of Del Mar does not have an ordinance that regulates medical marijuana cooperatives, but staff is working on language that will soon

The $8,298 expense for ASB cards at Torrey Pines, compared to the $120 cost for ASB cards at Canyon Crest, may have been because one school might have ordered enough cards for multiple years or the schools may be on different ordering cycles, Dill said. Odd items, like the marquee at Canyon Crest, may be one-time-only, for initial costs to buy and install. For both schools, funds that were in the red often had money transferred in from other accounts to reduce the imbalance.
come before the Planning Commission and the City Council for consideration, said Councilman Mark Filanc. “We’re in the study stage right now,” Filanc said. Because a medical marijuana cooperative is not permitted under existing city law, a variance or conditional use permit would be required, which did not happen in this case, Filanc said. Del Mar may follow the lead of the city of San Diego, which recently passed a law regulating dispensaries within its boundaries. “We have no ordinance whatsoever that speaks to this issue. It’s not allowed use under our current zoning,” said Mayor Don Mosier. “He’s in violation of our current ordinances. I would anticipate enforcement actions would be taken.” Filanc said he has not
made up his mind on whether he would support allowing medical marijuana dispensaries in Del Mar, “at least not until I hear from the citizens.” Kennedy said public sentiment may be on his side; an analysis of the November 2010 election showed that 58 percent of Del Mar voters supported Prop. 19, which would have legalized marijuana in California. Statewide, voters rejected the measure by a margin of 53 to 46 percent. The use of marijuana to treat a variety of disorders from cancer to glaucoma was approved by California voters in 1997, when Prop. 215 passed. Since then, cities and counties across the state have grappled with the issue of complying with Prop. 215 while deterring abuse of the law. Along with running the
cooperative, Kennedy, a father of three who lives near Lake Hodges, is also a patient: he said medical marijuana works much better to treat depression than the prescription drugs he has used in the past. In its first few days of operation, Kennedy said, the cooperative has signed up 12 members. He plans to stay open for now and appeal the city’s zoning decision. “I’m not going to shut down until they get a judge somewhere who tells me I have to shut down,” he said. “The tide is turning and hopefully we’ll be able to co-exist. I can service the medical marijuana patients in the community and not bother anybody in the process.”

FUGITIVE continued from page 1 she would be doing time that she even had a ski trip planned the weekend of her court date. While she had been promised probation, she ended up in jail instead; an experience she said was horrible and frightening. “I could hear women being raped in their cells when it was quiet at night, even through the iron doors of my cell,” Walsh said, describing how fearful she was that she would be next. “The women were so vulnerable…It was a very incredibly painful experience to go through, I don’t think there’s anything I can say that really conveys that.” After serving about a year of her sentence, Walsh escaped with the help of her grandfather in 1976. She made up a social security number that was just a few numbers off her real one and took her middle name as her first and planned to go far, far away. She said she never imagined that running would be as easy as it was, thinking she would have to live in a cabin in the woods, but instead found herself in California. “The moment I came to San Diego, I opened my eyes and there was this glittery sky and pastel-colored ocean, “ said Walsh. “I just thought I was home. I had felt out of place in Michigan.” Walsh kept her fugitive past a secret—in the beginning she told one of her boyfriends but he reacted so poorly that she decided she would never tell anyone again. She did not tell her husband Alan Walsh or her three children, but she did say that they later admitted suspecting she had some kind of secret, especially when people from a crime website began contacting her and her family, looking for her. The secret did weigh heavily on Walsh. “I had to just deal with it,” said Walsh, who said she attempted on a few occasions to turn herself in but the authorities she contacted weren’t interested. “Everyone has their cross to bear. I had this thing hanging over me and I couldn’t just continue to feel sorry for myself.” It came to a head in April 2008—she received a phone call that some tree trimmers had clipped one of her trees and wanted her to come outside her home. A tip to the crime website had led the authorities to Carmel Valley and when she stepped outside that morning she saw not a tree trimmer but a man flashing his badge. “He asked ‘Are you Susan LeFevre?’ and I went a little numb, I was cognizant that sh--, this is it. This has actually happened,” she said. She traveled from San Diego to the Michigan prison with her hands handcuffed at her waist for 24 hours a day for an entire week — she was only released once a day during the journey to use the restroom. She was facing 15 years, to finish her original 10-year sentence, plus additional time for the escape. Walsh’s second time in prison was much worse than the first time. She said the guards had been told to target her and she was the subject of constant harassment and abuse. “I feared for my life several times,” Walsh said. She was locked in one cell, in direct sunlight for days during an intense Michigan heat wave. “No air was coming in, I was sealed in between these concrete walls,” Walsh said. She would wet her clothing to try and keep cool, causing her skin to become raw. It became so hot that she collapsed, feeling as though she was having a heart attack or stroke. The guards wouldn’t do anything to help, just yell at her and call her names. “It was sadistic,” she said. The guards would write her up for offenses she did not commit, one month she received 11 violations for things like smoking.

She was transferred to another prison after complaints about her treatment to the warden and even the governor. But the second prison wasn’t much better as she was placed in cells with extremely violent cellmates, “I think they wanted to put me in with someone who would kill me,” Walsh said. When one cellmate threatened to kill her, Walsh was taken to the segregation cells, “the dungeon cells” they were called. She was served dirty food and lost her appetite, losing 25 pounds and becoming horrified by her loose skin hanging off her bones. When edible food was slipped into the cell, guards sometimes placed pubic hairs on it so she could not eat it. One November day she was locked outside in the cold and sleet for an hour without a jacket. “I thought I was going to die from the cold, after thinking I was going to die from the cold at the other prison just 20 miles away,” Walsh said. Walsh said she felt awful but she did not cry. “I’m not a crier,” she said. “I didn’t let myself dwell on it. It was too much to deal with.” As many horrible experiences as she had, she also met some very exceptional people. She received letters every day from strangers, as well as her friends in Carmel Valley, who were supportive and “wonderful,” as was her family, including her husband. Her daughter set up a website for people to send messages to her mother. Walsh’s son assured her that “a zillion people adore you, Mom.” In January 2009, the Michigan Parole Board voted to re-

lease her and she was released on May 18 of that year. She had begun writing her book in prison but spent another two years working on it, writing for hours on end, filling thousands of pages and finally whittling it down this year. “People keep saying to me that my story is so unusual. But the story that I have is not unusual and that is what’s tragic. So many of the things that happened to me have happened to others,” said Walsh of the jail system she strongly feels needs to be reformed. Whether it was easier to escape her past or to finally confront it, Walsh isn’t sure. “I just did what I had to do. As awful as it was to hide, I had to look at the good side. I feel that’s what you always have to do in life,” Walsh said. “Before I jumped that fence I was such a weak person. My confidence was so beaten and I had always turned to drugs to deal with things. I realized I didn’t need to use drugs…I had to get self -control. I don’t have much control over anything but I do have control over me and that’s a great thing. The one thing this experience gave me is that I learned I can control myself and my actions.” Find “A Tale of Two Lives: The Susan LeFevre Fugitive Story” at createspace.com or amazon.com.

BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER For the second year in a row, the Cox Celebrity Championship will be hosted by New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees, benefiting the Brees Dream Foundation. Brees was in Rancho Santa Fe on March 30 to promote the May 1922 tournament, which will be held at Morgan Run Resort and Club. “Drew made an incredible difference in this event,” said Dave Miller, president of Integrated Sports Marketing, which has promoted the golf tournament for the last 13 years. “He turned it around and made it better.” Since last year’s tournament, the Super Bowl champion quarterback hasn’t had much time to work the greens. He did play in the recent Pebble Beach Pro Am, his first time on a course in eight months. He shot a 75 on the first day, even beating a tour pro, but his next outing wasn’t as successful, scoring in the 90s. Despite the up and down nature of his game, Brees still gets a thrill from
New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees at the recent press conference held in RSF. Photo/Karen Billing playing. “I love being out on the golf course. I love the game. I’m going to play it my whole life,” he said. COX General Manager Dave Bialis called Brees a true “community man,” for his charitable support with Brees Dream in the communities of New Orleans, West Lafayette, Ind., (where Brees played at Purdue) and San Diego, where he led the San Diego Chargers for five years. “It’s a great way for my wife Brittany and I to stay connected to this community,” Brees said of his work in San Diego. “Even though I play for the New Orleans Saints I never forget where it all started.” With the tournament, Brees Dream will support Rady Children’s Hospital, Friends of Scott Foundation, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society Pacific South Coast Chapter and the San Diego Armed Forces YMCA, a cause close to Brees’ heart as he has done five USO tours overseas in 10 different countries.

Fling and recycle your things
On April 30 from noon-4 p.m., Girl Scout Troop 1001 is hosting a Spring Recycle event at Solana Highlands Elementary School located at 3520 Long Run Drive in Carmel Valley. The first 50 people to bring items to the Spring Fling will receive a free reusable bag! The troop will be collecting small electronics including computers, monitors, televisions, cell phones, mp3 players, ink toner cartridges, printers, microwaves, cables and wires and laptops. In addition, they will be collecting single use batteries and plastics 1-7. Lastly, in an effort to encourage the re-use message of “reduce, reuse, recycle,” they will be collecting gently used men’s, women’s and children’s clothing to be donated to the San Diego Rescue Mission. Girl Scout Troop 1001 members Katie The troop is working toward completing its Silver Award and have chosen to hold this com- Buote, Ali King, Crystal Lore, Nicole munity event to help educate the public on the Rasquina and Harpreet Battoo. importance of reducing, reusing and recycling. Did you know that in 2008, there was 4.6 billion pounds of e-waste (electronics waste) in the United States, and less than 900 million pounds of it was recycled? As a matter of fact, most of it ended up in landfills or was shipped to other countries like China and India. There are hazardous levels of lead, chromium, mercury, zinc, nickel, and flame retardants in many of the electronics. If these substances end up in the soil they can damage the environment and people too. But, before taking your electronics to a recycler, make sure they are eStewards. Unfortunately, 90 percent of recyclers will ship their e-waste to other countries, where they create toxic dumps, known as the most poisonous places on earth. Did you also know that dangerous metals and acids are found within single use batteries? Nevertheless Americans throw out almost 180,000 tons of batteries each year! If placed in landfills, the toxins and materials such as lead, mercury, cadmium, and others leak out of the cased battery and pollute the soil and water around the landfill. If disposed by incinerators, they emit harmful fumes that pollute the air. Most types of batteries can be recycled, which allows the metals found in the batteries to be reused to create more batteries or other materials. All the electronics from the event will be collected by All Green Electronics Recycling, an official e-Steward. So begin collecting your e-waste, batteries and gently used clothing today and drop them by on April 30 from noon-4 p.m.

Canyon Crest film students ‘Reel In’ ‘Best Fest America’ award Five Canyon Crest Academy film students won honorable mention at a recent film festival held at Ultra Star Cinemas in Hazard Center. Ten student film teams from high schools and colleges across San Diego County competed by creating their own scary adaptations of an original screenplay, “Ghost in the Machine” (by local screenwriter Lisa Merrill), for the 10th Annual 48 Hours of Madness Best Fest America Film Festival. Each of the films dealt with kitchen appliances turning on by themselves. The teams were given 48 hours, a script with important parts missing, and no ending and were told to come up with a cohesive film. The Canyon Crest Academy students formed their own production company, Righteous Cowboy Lightning, and holed up at one of the team member’s homes. The team members were: Catie Ellwood (12th grade), Olivia Klatch (10th grade), Jacob Morrison (11th grade), Jesse Ostroff (11th grade), and Sam Sarokin (10th Grade). The team was sponsored by their Canyon Crest Academy Film Conservatory teacher Mark Raines. The team re-wrote the screenplay, staged all the shots, auditioned actors, set up lighting, sound, scoring, special effects, and edited the final product all in a grueling 48hour marathon. “We really put our film skills to the test,” claimed Jesse Ostroff, who acted as team leader of the project. “It was really a challenge,” remarked Olivia Klatch, “The hardest part was agreeing on how the story should finish; but we really enjoyed working together.”

High school students encouraged to enter essay contest by International Bipolar Foundation The International Bipolar Foundation has as part of its mission to erase stigma associated with mental illness through public education. To that end, they have launched an essay contest open to all high school students in San Diego and Imperial counties. “Our hope”, says 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 illness and the winner will be announced in May to celebrate May as Mental Health Month. The contest is open to all high school students in San Diego and Imperial counties. Essay deadline is April 15. In addition to the First Place Winner getting two tickets to the Cricket Amphitheatre for the 2011 season, the winner will read his/her essay at a luncheon on May 26 featuring Margaret Trudeau, celebrated Canadian and mental health advocate. For more information about the International Bipolar Foundation luncheon or to receive the essay rules and registration form, contact Ashley Reitzin: ashkus@mac.com.

DM native competing in surf, skate and snowboard triathlon BY MARLENA CHAVIRAMEDFORD Staff Writer Del Mar native Zach Miller has been skateboarding at the Encinitas YMCA since he was 4 — you’ll still spot him there, only now he’s doing it as a full-time professional. “I pretty much skate every day, and it’s been that way about as long as I can remember,” he said. “I grew up surrounded by skateboarding.” That’s because he’s the son of famed professional skateboarder Chris Miller, making him the second generation in the sport. Though it’s only his second year in the professional realm, this 2007 Torrey Pines High School graduate is already on the fast track to making a name for himself. He’s now competing in the 4th Annual Ultimate Boarder Surf, Skate, Snowboard Championships, a weeklong triathlon open to top pros, amateurs, and Olympians who compete for a $50,000 purse prize. Miller has only competed professionally in skateboarding, but he’s certainly no newcomer to surfing or snowboarding.

Unfortunately, her Olympic dream ended when she broke her leg while running in a race. Without her running career to keep her together, mental illness crept in and took over. Her book, “Runaway Mind,” details Maggie’s journey with bipolar disorder. In this memoir, she reveals her battle with the illness during her young life. She shares her harrowing struggle with being bipolar through her own words along with the words of other women close to her. Reese offers readers her personal experience with this disorder and how she and her family dealt with it from symptoms to causes, to treatment and recovery. The event will be held at Sanford Children’s Research Center, Building 12, 10905 Road to the Cure, San Diego, CA 92121. Event and parking are free. Please R.S.V.P. to Ashley: areitzin@gmail.com. For more information on the book and author, visit www.runawaymind. net.
BREES Zach Miller “Growing up in Del Mar, I got into surfing pretty early,” he said. “As I got a little older, I took up snowboarding, and I still make it out to Mammoth or Big Bear when I can. “I think that I’ve competed enough in skateboarding that I’ll be able to carry some of that into surfing and snowboarding for this competition. When you do board sports like these, a lot of your skill transfers over.” The snowboard portion of Ultimate Boarder kicked off Saturday, April 2, at Mammoth Mountain. After that, the competition moved to Seaside Reef for the surf portion of the event, which will took place April 4 to 7. The event ends Saturday, April 9, with an 8 a.m. awards ceremony and a day of skateboarding at Seaside Reef in Cardiff.

“It’s awesome to spend time with [the armed forces] and see the commitment they have and the sacrifices they make on a daily basis,” Brees said. Brees said that when he goes on a road trip he misses his two boys terribly so he can’t imagine what it is like for servicemen and women to be away from their families for 15 months or more. In a room full of media, it was inevitable that the topic of the NFL lockout would pop up. Along with quarterbacks Peyton Manning and Tom Brady, Brees is part of an antitrust lawsuit against the NFL. While Brees did his best to move the conversation back to the golf tournament, he politely answered a few questions about his name being attached to the lawsuit. “I got involved because I understand the sacrifices guys made who played before me and I feel its my responsibility to represent not only them but future players in this league.” Brees said. “It means so much to me because I’m not doing it for any other reason than I feel like it’s the right thing to do, I feel like it’s the fair thing to do and I feel like I’ve been charged with that responsibility.” For information on the tournament, visit coxcelebritychampionship.com.

CV resident helps bring medical care, education to one of the world’s poorest nations
Cyril Thomas (in the red shirt) and Rick Astone (left), a physical therapist, in Thailand. know because births and deaths are not always recorded, and the military control makes it difficult for outside sources to get accurate information. Though it was the worst natural disaster recorded in Myanmar’s history, Thomas pointed out that Myanmar did not receive nearly as much global response as other recent natural disasters. For example, about $528 million was raised in two weeks when the Haiti earthquake hit — but only $91.3 million was
raised in 21 months after Cyclone Nargis. “By continuing our education program, we will make a greater impact that will last beyond the disaster,” Thomas said, adding that in places like Myanmar, dire need exists on a regular basis, not just when natural disasters strike. According to data from the United Nations, more than 28,000 children younger than 5 die every day from treatable illnesses such as diarrhea, respiratory infection, malaria
and AIDS. That’s approximately 1,200 deaths per hour. By comparison, Thomas points out that the 2004 tsunamis along the Indian Ocean coastline killed about 300,000 people. That means in the poorest areas of the world, it’s the same as having three tsumanis per month, every month. “Some people live a tsunami every month,” he said. “You can tell people the story, but there’s nothing like getting your hands dirty and looking these peo-
ple in the eyes and suddenly thinking ‘Oh God, this is real.’ Looking those people in the eyes, Thomas added, is a strong teaching moment — and it’s precisely why he’s brought his two children with him on some of his medical mission trips. It’s a family tradition started by his father, who worked to rehabilitate inmates in Madagascar, where Thomas was raised. In Madagascar, corrupt prison guards would let some inmates out at night so they could commit crimes, and then allow them to sneak back into prison by sunrise. His father’s work to rehabilitate these inmates often put him in danger and, tragically, it ultimately led to his death. When Thomas was 2, his father was gunned down in their home. His mother, who was pregnant with his younger brother, was also

BY MARLENA CHAVIRAMEDFORD STAFF WRITER Sandwiched between India, China and Thailand is Myanmar, one of the poorest nations in the world with a population that’s facing a staggering health crisis: About 40 percent have tuberculosis; about 360,000 are infected with HIV/AIDS; and almost half of all malaria cases can be traced back to this southeast Asian country, formerly known as Burma. The people here are further crippled by an oppressive military regime, which has snuffed out efforts to fight these diseases. The situation is worsened even more by the country’s lack of accessible healthcare. It’s not uncommon for villagers in the remote mountains to travel 500 miles on foot and bus to reach the nearest clinic, a trip that can take weeks. “Imagine being in Montana and having to go to Seattle to see a doctor,” said Carmel Valley physician assistant Cyril Thomas, who recently spent a week teaching lifesaving skills to some of these villagers during a medical mission trip through the Frontier Labourers of Christ’s Barefoot Doctors program. Thomas has spent about 20 years volunteering for medical mission trips to dozens of nations all over the world. This most recent trip, however, was the first time he had the opportunity to teach skills, rather than perform procedures. “By providing the Barefoot Doctors the knowledge to take care of their own people, it became clearer to me that they can prevent disease, cure some of them, refer them to proper local clinics and save life beyond our wildest dream,” he said of the program, which was hosted in Thailand, but included many villagers from Myanmar. “Knowledge is the gift that keeps on giving.” That knowledge will be especially critical now in Myanmar as its people deal with the fallout from two deadly natural disasters this month: a deadly storm that killed hundreds of fisherman off the coast, and a 6.8 magnitude earthquake that hit the town of Tachileik, killing and injuring hundreds more. All of this all comes just a few years after the 2008 Cyclone Nargis, which had an official death toll of 22,500, but some reports have estimated that number to be closer to 100,000. An exact number is difficult to
shot. Though she and the baby survived, his brother was born handicapped. “I think a lot of healing needed to happen, and this has helped me find that,” Thomas said of his medical mission work. “During one of my trips to Haiti I read something on a wall that’s stuck with me: ‘You have to live for nothing and die for something.’ I’ve come to realize the truth in that. “When you reach out and help those in great need, you become a better person. It’s a fact of life.” If you would like to contribute toward the Barefoot Doctors program, or want more information, please contact Cyril Thomas at cyril4barefootdoctors@gmail.com.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS Trust, communication key to success at Ina Wealth Management Group BY KAREN BILLING STAFF BOX When Richard Ina read a statistic online that seven out of 10 individuals would be willing to leave their financial advisor, he found it disturbing. The senior vice president of investments for Ina Wealth Management Group, at Carmel Valley’s UBS office, prides himself in treating his clients so well that they would never leave. “We are a trustworthy alternative because we spend so much time educating and communicating with our clients, that’s how we build trust,� Ina said. “That’s what separates us, the element of trust and communication.� He said not many advisors would feel comfortable putting all of their clients in a room together like Ina’s group does with their client appreciation events. He is confident that all of their clients feel taken care of and wouldn’t complain about the way they have been handled. When coming aboard with Ina Wealth Management, each person receives a “Client First� checklist, a list of 25 things Ina Wealth Management does that they feel other advisors don’t. “We have a very sophisticated investment management style that tends to do well in up and down markets,� Ina said. Ina, originally from Ohio, has been in the financial services industry for 23 years, previously at Merrill Lynch and Smith Barney before moving to San Diego seven years ago. He came to UBS in San Diego and many of his Cleveland clients followed him. With a team of seven people, the group caters to clients all over the country –they’ve been at their Carmel Valley location for the last three months, moving to the area from Rancho Bernardo. Ina usually finds himself working very hard for his clients—he is usually in the office by 5 a.m., even on Saturdays, and often leaves his desk late. “There’s no replacement for hard work. There’s so much research that comes past my desk that I have to put in the time,� Ina said. “It’s really my passion. It’s so important that you are absolutely passionate about what you do.�
RIchard Ina The majority of their clients are higher net worth individuals and small business owners, with $1 million or more. Ina’s clients are from all different walks of life, from winning the lottery to a man who cleans industrial chemical tanks. “These clients are already wealthy, they are not interested in swinging for the fences, they want to hit singles and doubles every year,� said Ina. “They want the best and we focus on helping them reach their dreams, goals and all the things they’re trying to do in life.�
Services they provide include improving investment management, lowering volatility, transferring of wealth, retirement planning, insurance, and even educating client’s children, teaching them at a young age how to treat money effectively. They help clients with all aspects of wealth management, Ina said, really trying to change their lives for the better. Ina will be the first to admit that being an advisor in these turbulent economic times has been a challenge. “I’ve seen many changes in our industry in the last few years that has certainly tested my mettle,� said Ina. Despite the economic downturn, Ina has seen his client base double in the last three years. He attributes that growth to his group’s constant communication, trust and capabilities—he believes his clients represent that three out of 10 who would not be willing to leave their advisor. For a free consultation, call (858) 947-7991 or visit ubs.com/team/inawealth. Ina Wealth Management Group is located at 12220 El Camino Real, suite 400.
Fingerprinting is now easily available in the community Being a resident in Carmel Valley since 1995, and having owned Postal Annex in the Piazza Carmel/Vons shopping center for the last 10 years, Kirk Krikorian was always looking for ways to expand his business services to the community. In early 2007, after extensive research for needed business services, he decided to make an investment in establishing “Del Mar Live Scan,� a company that specializes in fingerprinting for both Live Scan and FBI Ink cards. After the proper licensing and clearance by the Department of Justice and FBI, they established a marketing plan that focuses on businesses and professions that are required by law to have background checks for their employees/volunteers. This was followed by personal contacts, establishing relationships with key organizations and delivering professional services with flexibility and extended hours. Currently, they have multiple licensed operators on staff and conduct business in the North County, as well as the entire San Diego County. They are open seven days a week and accept walk-ins business throughout the day. For multiple applicants at one location, mobile services are also available. Today, after being in business for almost five years, they are well established in the community for providing superior service, and most of their increased business is now based on referral from local business and organizations. Del Mar Live Scan provides a secure, comfortable, professional and friendly environment for all customers.

Website focuses on proposed Main Street project Concerned citizens in Carmel Valley have launched the website www. whatpricemainstreet.com to provide community members the opportunity to learn more and share their thoughts about Kilroy Realty Development’s proposed Main Street project. The proposed Main Street project is on the southwest corner of Del Mar Heights Road and El Camino Real in the heart of Carmel Valley. The site is Carmel Valley’s last sizeable undeveloped parcel of
commercial property and currently planned for 500,000 square feet of suburban office space. The developer intends to build 270,000 square feet of retail, 535,000 square feet of office (housed in 10-story and seven-story buildings), 150 to 175 room hotel and 608 residential units plus parking structures, totaling more than 2 million square feet crammed on the 23acre site. As proposed, the project would be the largest density increase ever considered in Carmel Val-

ley’s 30-plus-year history. The community has grown increasingly concerned about the one-sided promotion of the Main Street development to the residents of Carmel Valley. The website was developed to show the potential negative impacts of the project on Carmel Valley and surrounding communities. Among the potential negative impacts highlighted on the website are traffic and infrastructure impacts to the community, parking constraints and the size and scale of the project. The Main Street project will add more than
30,000 traffic trips per day to Carmel Valley roads, which is five times more than the planned traffic generation for the site and does not include projected traffic from nearby approved entitlements. The project will bring two additional stoplights and pedestrian crossings to Del Mar Heights Road between High Bluff Drive and El Camino Real increasing travel and wait times for all commuters and residents along the main artery in Carmel Valley. The proposed project will be 10 times the density of the Del Mar Highlands Town Center and twice the
size of University Town Center — a scale many residents are not comfortable with. Additionally, the developer has proposed paid parking for the office and hotel portions of the project, which will cause overflow parking and negatively impact surrounding streets and lots currently offering unrestricted and free parking. We are not seeking to eliminate or reduce existing entitlements for the property but working to ensure the density, traffic and parking envisioned in the Community Plan are adhered to. It is important that any future develop-
ment on the site is consistent with Carmel Valley’s community character and within the proposed traffic and infrastructure demands for which the area has been planned. To learn more about the impacts of the proposed Main Street project or express yours concerns to decision makers, please visit the web site at www. whatpricemainstreet.com or email Jerry Mailhot at jmailhot@whatpricemainstreet.com.

The nuclear experiment In her March 31 letter to the Carmel Valley News, Shirley Michael lists just a few of the tragedies that could have been avoided, if only the experts we rely on hadn’t underestimated or ignored just how wrong things could go. From unforeseen future effects (DDT), to unexpected catastrophes (“safe” levies suddenly breached), the lesson is clear: sometimes the experts turn out to be wrong. Over time, the repercussions from this kind of shortsightedness have ranged from mild to devastating. This is why it is sheer fol-
ly to accept the assurances of any experts that the benefits of nuclear reactors and stored radioactive waste at San Onofre and Diablo Canyon outweigh the risks. History teaches us it’s the potential for the next unexpected disaster, the one that is thus far unimaginable, that we are foolish to so easily dismiss, especially when it comes to nuclear accidents. If the experts turn out to be wrong in this case, the repercussions for California are beyond compare. Do we really want to be the ones to find out what the next unforeseen
nuclear accident will be, first hand? In hindsight, which would the families affected by cancers and death following nuclear accidents like Chernobyl, Three Mile Island and Fukushima choose — a nuclear accident, or enforced conservation and rolling blackouts? They don’t have the luxury of that choice, but we do. This is the time for the public to say “No!” to nuclear reactors and stored spent fuel rods in active fault zones, while we still can.

Informational meeting to be held on California’s nuclear reactors A bipartisan informational meeting on California’s nuclear reactors featuring Rochelle Becker, executive director of the Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility, will be held on Thursday, April 7, from 6:30-8:30 p.m. at the Oceanside Library, MLK Community Room Civic Center, 330 N. Coast Highway, Oceanside, CA 92054.
EDUCATION continued from page 19 For example, if 8.92 percent represents $8 million, and the district’s excess taxes above Revenue Limit are only $4 million, then San Dieguito’s Fair Share is the excess tax, or the $4 million. So the district would lose all its excess property tax money, but would not have to dip into other money to reach the 8.92 percent. For well-established Basic Aid districts, they would likely still have excess property tax money, even after paying the state the full 8.92 percent, even though programs are being significantly impacted. According to Noah, San Dieguito paid $5.2 million for this year and estimates it will owe between $5 million and $7.5 million next year, “depending on the interpretation of how the 8.92 percent of Revenue Limit is applied to ‘low wealth’ Basic Aid districts relative to ‘excess property tax’ collection,” he said. An untenable expectation To add a final depressing note, the education advocacy organization School Services of California reported last week that the state may make cuts to education in the neighborhood of $4 billion to $5 billion next year, if Gov. Jerry Brown’s tax extensions are not passed. This would place 2011-2012 funding at the same level it was in 1999-2000, more than 10 years ago. But, as SSC noted, expenses have not been stagnant in the past decade. “The cost of providing educational and support services has gone up significantly over the last ten years to keep up with the consumer prices,” stated the SSC report. Consider these SSC statistics: Average teacher salary Avg. health/welfare contribution Total average compensation
Member Greater Del Mar Chamber of Commerce California Newspaper Publishers Association Member Independent Free Papers of America Member Circulation Verification Council Member Member Del Mar Village Merchants Association Better Business Bureau member
2000-2001 $52,363 $ 5,486 $57,849
2009-2010 $67,571 $ 9,844 $77,415
This $20,000 difference represents a 34 percent increase in salaries and benefits. SSC pointed out that school districts are also paying higher costs for facilities, instructional materials, equipment and supplies, utilities, rents and other expenses. If education funding were to revert back to 1999-2000 levels, districts would be expected to provide increasingly demanding instructional programs with costs at 2011-2012 levels – what SSC called “an untenable expectation.” — Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr.com.

Education Matters Cleaning up GATE confusion, Fair Share and how the budget crisis is hitting home BY MARSHA SUTTON STAFF WRITER In a recent column, it was reported that the Del Mar Union School District was diverting state money for its Gifted and Talented Education program to other district needs, but confusion has since arisen. DMUSD’s assistant superintendent for curriculum and instructional services, Holly McClurg, initially said the GATE money being diverted amounted to a few thousand dollars. This money, she said, had been used to test students for GATE identification purposes and would now be directed to other district programs such as teacher professional development. However, a March 23 board meeting agenda item included a chart showing that the amount from the state for the district’s GATE program was $14,204 and that this money was being returned to the state for the district’s Fair Share payment (more on Fair Share later in this column). The impression from the original column, based on the district’s information, was that the total from the state for GATE was just a few thousand dollars and that this money would now be used for professional development. Instead, it’s much more, and all of it is being returned to the state. When asked to explain the discrepancy, McClurg wrote in an email: “To clarify, the district’s program for advanced learners is not changing. A goal of the DMUSD program is to provide meaningful, rigorous learning opportunities commensurate with the qualities and potential of each student. That will continue to be a goal and focus for our district’s program. The only piece that is changing is the formal identification process that was previously done in 6th grade. Regarding the funding: When factoring in the indirect costs and personnel associated with monitoring the formal assessment process, the amount available for other purposes is minimal.� Because this answer was so obfuscating and unresponsive to my actual question, I tried asking again. McClurg responded a second time, saying in part, “Exclusive of a few thousand dollars that were left in the GATE budget for the purpose of testing our students, the GATE funds were diverted to pay for our ‘fair share’ to the state. GATE funds that had been diverted were off-
set with our district’s general fund to pay for professional development for teachers‌â€? DMUSD superintendent Jim Peabody explained further. “That actual $14,000 goes to the state from the GATE budget,â€? he said. “But we have money in our budget that we choose to spend on GATE just as if it was the state’s money.â€? In other words, the district takes money out of its general fund and uses it for what GATE money from the state previously provided, minus the testing which is about $2,000 of the $14,000. Peabody said the district had set aside a few thousand dollars to administer GATE testing. And since GATE testing is being discontinued, so is the money. The rest of the money – the $14,000 less the $2,000 dedicated to testing – “we put into professional development for GATE,â€? Peabody explained. He said the district’s Fair Share payment comes out of categorical programs. “But we don’t want to see those categoricals – such as GATE, special education, English language learners – harmed,â€? he said. “So we take money from our general fund and backfill it to make up for what the state takes out of those programs.â€? Due to the severity of

California’s education funding crisis, the state has given districts the flexibility to use money previously earmarked for what’s known as Tier III programs for other purposes. The March 23 DMUSD chart listed 12 Tier III categorical programs and the dollar amount for each. The programs total about $975,000, all of which is being returned to the state as part of the district’s Fair Share payment. The major programs on Del Mar’s list include: School and Library Improvement (SIP): $229,810 IMFRP – Instructional Materials: $224,416 Deferred Maintenance: $135,933 Professional Development Block Grant: $134,124 P.E. Teacher Incentive Grant: $117,441 Arts and Music Block Grant: $56,832 Math and Reading Professional Development: $26,063 Peer Assistance and Review: $20,655 Gifted and Talent Education: $14,204 Is Fair Share really fair? So what is Fair Share, and why are local districts struggling and budget juggling? Basic Aid school districts receive the bulk of their money through property taxes, while the other “Revenue Limit� districts don’t receive enough in property taxes and need money from the state to reach a predetermined minimum level of funding. Because of this, state cutbacks to education have impacted Revenue Limit districts more than Basic Aid districts. To share the pain, Basic Aid districts agreed several years ago to return some of their money to the state in an amount that’s calculated to be proportionally the same as the cuts less wealthy Revenue Limit districts are having to absorb. So Basic Aid districts – which include San Dieguito, Del Mar, Solana Beach and Rancho Santa Fe – are giving back what’s called their Fair Share of money. Local districts are, for the most part, choosing to return their Fair Share money from the funds the state sends them for earmarked categorical programs. The money still comes to Basic Aid districts from the state, but the districts are required to send back their Fair Share. Peabody said it’s the district’s decision where to find the money to return to the state for the Fair Share contribution. “It does come to us, but then we send them a check right back,� he said. The state doesn’t care which funds the money comes from, said San Dieguito Union High School District superintendent Ken Noah. “They just want their percent,� he said. Last year’s Fair Share, which is calculated primarily on the budget as it relates to enrollment numbers, was 5.81 percent, and next year’s is 8.92 percent. For the Del Mar Union School District, the Fair Share this year was $1,476,642, and next year’s estimate is $2,306,700, Peabody said. Leslie Fausset, superintendent of the Solana Beach School District, said this year’s Fair Share was $972,000, and next year’s is expected to be $1.5 million. Rancho Santa Fe School District superintendent Lindy Delaney said this year’s Fair Share for her district was $257,651, and next year she is expecting to owe about $363,000. For San Dieguito, the number is more complicated. Because San Dieguito is a new Basic Aid district, its coffers are not as well-stocked as the other three local elementary school districts. Noah explained that the Fair Share cannot exceed the property taxes a district receives.

7-year-old makes unassisted triple play BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer A 7-year-old Solana Beach Little League player recently pulled off an amazing unassisted triple play. Luca Bombelli, of the AA Division Braves, put his baseball smarts to good use, accomplishing something that has only been done 15 times in Major League Baseball history. “I’ve never seen an unassisted triple play,” said Coach Tom Nicholas. “I was just floored and he did it all by himself. I don’t know if we’ll ever see something like that again.” On Thursday, March 24, Luca’s Braves were playing the Mets. It was the bottom of the last inning and the Braves were up by two. The Mets had loaded up the bases with no outs, threatening to take the lead. The batter hit a “high fly looper” to the third base side. Luca reacted, reaching his glove up over his head and snagging the ball blind. “At first I caught the pop fly, then I tagged the base which got the guy coming back to third out. And then, for some reason, someone was running from second to third so I tagged him out,” Luca said. Nicholas said that every Mets coach and player was yelling “Go back! Go back” to the base runner but it was too late—Luca got him. “The game was over. Everyone was happy because it was the last play of the game and it made us win,” Luca said. Nicholas has been coaching little league for 10 years, his older son went through and

now he is coaching his youngest. He said coaching little league, especially the 6-9 year old AA lot, is a “laugh a minute” and the coaches are never quite sure if the players are really listening and understanding their instruction of the game. Luca’s play proved he has been listening, Nicholas said. “He knew what was going on,” Nicholas said. “Luca just figured it out which is really cool because we’ve been working with the kids to make smart decisions. He must’ve grabbed onto something.” This season is only the Del Mar Heights second grader’s second year of baseball. He said he likes hitting the best and has tried playing every position but pitcher—as his head’s up play proved, the hot corner may be his specialty spot. “We have some real good players,” Luca said of the Braves. “We’ve never lost and we have a good time playing.”

Q. George: How soon after buying a new car should you put a coat of wax on it? I didn’t buy the paint protection when I bought my new Cobalt but I do want to keep it looking as good as it does today. Any suggestions?
A. Dave: You will want to wait a couple of months — or do the water test. Turn on the hose and let it run down the hood of your Cobalt when the car is cold. If you get bubbles building up, no wax is needed. When the bubbles start to get smaller then it is time. Q. Walter: I just bought a new Harley Davidson for my birthday and I have a question I was embarrassed to ask the dealer. Do you have to rotate the tires on a Harley? I rotate my tires on all my cars to get the maximum life out of them, due to the cost of the tires. Hope to see you on the open road! A. Dave: That is a great question. My first answer would have been that the rear tire wears out so fast you wouldn’t even have time to rotate them — but if you look in your owner’s manual, they actually don’t recommend rotating because the rear tire size is different than the front, especially if it is a Dunlop. I will stick with my first answer — plus, the labor to break down the two tires (the rims are not interchangeable), re-mount them, balance them and buy all new valve stems would be cost prohibitive in my book. Do keep a close eye on inflation or any irregularities to the sidewall or tread. Hope to see you on the open road as well!

Q. Tom: I heard you on the radio last week talking about an auction company that deals in high-end cars and classics. You mentioned something about Monterey — were you talking about the Monterey Classics Auto Race? I usually go to Barret-Jackson but I would love to see what this company has to offer. Could you give me the name? A. Dave: No, they are not affiliated with the Monterey Historic. The company is called RM Auctions and you can get all the information needed on www.rmauctions.com. They have been around for over 20 years and started out as a restoration shop. To date, their main business is restoring classic hard-to-find cars. They have 30 employees working full-time restoring classic vehicles. Q. Roger: I just got a fix-it ticket because my license plate lights were burned out. I agree the license plate lights were burned out, but when I follow other cars, my headlights illuminate their license plates without lights, so why would I get a ticket? Should I fight this ticket? What are my chances of winning in court? I’m really ticked about this. I missed a very important meeting because of the inconvenience! A. Dave: The law is the law. You are required to have a light that illuminates your rear license plate. My feeling is that the officer saw something that aroused his suspicion and he used the license plate light being burnt out as an excuse to stop you and check you and the car out. If all you got was a fix-it ticket, all you need to do is fix the lights, have a police officer sign off on the ticket that the repairs were made, and mail your ticket along with the fine. You can fight it, but what is your time worth to you?

DM Little League Scrappers value brotherhood above all else BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Hustle. Loyalty. Respect: That’s the team motto of the Del Mar Little League AAA Division Scrappers. The Scrappers are a team that knows how to win, they’ve got an impressive 7-2 record, but they seem to value their friendships and a sense of brotherhood over racking up W’s. They even invented their own team hug—a hug followed by two jabs of the fist to the shoulders, adapted from a similar celebration done by the Boston Red Sox. “It’s all about family and having fun with the kids,” said Manager Daniel O’Rourke. “It’s been a fun year.” O’Rourke said the year has really been special because of Coach Jimmy Joyner, his stepson who played baseball and football at Whittier College and currently coaches football at Mater Dei Catholic High School. “He is really teaching these kids some great baseball and life skills. He is the real deal and all the boys love him,” O’Rourke said. “One player, Ben Monks, if Jimmy asked him to run through a brick wall he would. He’s just so fired up for the team.” The Scrappers might not have
The Del Mar Little League Scrappers specialize in fun. PHOTO: MARIE LEROSE happened if not for an incident last year when O’Rourke and Joyner were watching a game together and Joyner just didn’t like the way the manager treated the kids. He didn’t think the coach was getting the kids to experience the real heart of little league— which is really all about having fun. “I don’t remember the games or scores from little league,” Joyner
said. “What I remember is the times I had with the other kids, the time spent in the dugout.” O’Rourke issued a challenge to his 29-year-old stepson: Why don’t we run a team next year?” “You could hear a pin drop,” Joyner said of the game he watched last year. “When I was playing it was real ‘rah rah’ and we cheered for everybody.

plaints for being too loud, which is just what I wanted. The cheering keeps the kids in the game.” O’Rourke teamed up with coach Fadi Atiya to draft their own children and get all the players assembled for the “dream team,” which O’Rourke said is not an easy task in the little league draft. There are two pairs of brothers on the dream team with Jude and Zane Atiya and Luke and Ryan “Ryano” O’Rourke, the youngest player on the team at age 9. The Scrappers roster is rounded out by Omar Dabbas, Grayson LeRose, Holden McDonald, Eric Misak, Ben Monks, Matthew Rosenfield, Mateo Seda and J.P. Sillick. “These are some cool kids to be around,” said Joyner. “What I stress to these kids is to be a family, to have each other’s backs and look out for each other. They’re all best friends now.” The coaching staff also includes John Sillick and assistant coach Michael LeRose. “We’re a good team with good players and I think we could win the World Series,” said Ben, a Sage Canyon fifth grader. “I like the coaches a lot. They’re real nice and it’s fun being on their team. The players have all become my friends.”
Luke, a fifth grader at Sycamore Ridge, echoed that it has been great to play with his friends and cheer them on but he has also really liked playing for his brother Jimmy. “It’s really exciting to play for him in my last year before majors,” Luke said. “He’s helped me the most with my pitching, he taught me a full wind-up and helped my aiming and speed. He knows the game.” Grayson, a fifth grader at Sycamore Ridge, was convinced to come back to baseball from his other sport, soccer. “For me the best part about baseball is its natural reality of hitting the ball and running the bases,” said Grayson, who plays pitcher and shortstop. “If you hit the ball over the fence it’s a great feeling that you’re doing something well. You always know you can improve, the coaches are always there to help you. We have very encouraging coaches.” As pumped as the kids are to play the game, so is Coach Joyner. “I love it, I don’t sleep right after we lose, I don’t sleep the night before a game,” said Joyner. “I love being out there with the kids and making sure they’re having fun.”

Cooper follows his calling
Love of animals shaped career Native San Diegan Robin Cohen grew up near Mt. Helix in East County, where she was surrounded by lots of land and animals. “My mom drew the line with reptiles but everything else was welcomed into our home,” she recalled of her childhood. Those early days laid the foundation for a lifelong love of animals, which ultimately led her to the Helen Woodward Animal Center, a private nonprofit dedicated to saving the lives of animals and enriching the lives of peoRobin Cohen ple. Cohen started working there in 1992 after earning her degree in cultural anthropology at UCSD. Though Cohen went into the job thinking it’d be a temporary gig while she went to graduate school, she soon realized that she’d “basically hit the job lottery” and decided to stay. “Why would I leave when I get to work with great staff and volunteers, wonderful animals, make people smile all day and bring my dog to work,” she asked. Cohen now helps to run the center’s Pet Encounter Therapy (PET) program, which brings animals to visit people in facilities such as abused children’s shelters, hospitals, psychiatric facilities, and senior centers. Though she’s been involved with PET for 17 years, Cohen said she’s continually “amazed by the healing that is offered by our volunteers and animals.” When Cohen is not bringing the joy of animals to others, she loves spending time with her large extended family, and her own adopted animals, a parakeet and a 13-year-old sheltie, which once worked as a therapy dog though these days he’s “mostly retired and spoiled.” 1. What brought you to this neighborhood? My work brought me to this area. I started working at the Helen Woodward Animal Center in 1992 and thought it would be a short-term position while I figured out what I wanted to do after college. I soon fell in love with every aspect of what we do for the animals and for our community and have never left. It has been an incredible 19 years. 2. What makes this town special to you? It is a beautiful place to work. And there are animals everywhere you look.

Fast Facts Name: Martin Cooper Distinction: While working as a research engineer at Motorola, Cooper was credited with inventing the handheld mobile cell phone. He retired from Motorola in 1983 and with his wife launched various companies in the wireless technology field. He was recently a nominee for “The Man Who Saved the World Award.” Resident of: Del Mar Born: Chicago, Illinois, 82 years ago

Cell phone inventor sees greater revolution seeded by social networking BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor Let’s face it. Not many of us accomplish anything resembling a giant leap forward for mankind. But Del Mar resident Martin Cooper did — when he invented the cell phone and made the first call on it 38 years ago. Today, there are an estimated five billion cell phones in use around the world. It is, without a doubt, an invention that revolutionized the world as we know it and is continuing to do so on a daily basis. But this is just the beginning, Cooper predicts: Social networking is the seed of another revolution that in the future will surpass the cellular revolution and contribute to a more collaborative world. Cooper was working as an engineer at the radio-related Motorola company when he came up with the wild idea of using the cellular telephony concept (conceived in 1946 by AT&T) to invent and build the first portable, hand-held cell phone, thereby challenging communications giant AT&T’s monopolistic intention to control cellular technology and
confine its use to car phones. Motorola had lengthy experience with portable radio communications. In 1940, it produced the famed walkie-talkie used by the military during World War II. “We didn’t care for the idea of a monopoly,” Cooper said. “It would have either put us out of business or made us a slave to AT&T. We had our own vision. So we took on AT&T. “We knew that people didn’t want to talk to cars, or to houses, or to offices. They want to talk to other people…To demonstrate this, we invented the first portable cellular telephone so that we could prove to the world that our idea of personal communications was correct” and to convince the Federal Communications Commission to allocate frequency space to private companies for use in cellular communications. Although the mobile hand-held “cellular” phone was his idea and the result of his missionary zeal within Motorola to make it happen, he said, “It actually took a team to build that phone,” at a cost of

Is there a doctor in the house? There will be four at the Jeste family residence! BY JOHN GUIGAYOMA Contributor As UCSD medical student Neelum Jeste’s hands tore through the envelope that would fling her across the country for the next three years, her mother was by her side. Jeste had applied to around 20 schools, interviewed at 13, and after months of waiting, she and 127 of her peers discovered their residency placements March 17 at UCSD on what is known as Match Day, a nationwide ceremony that determines the next step toward a hopeful doctor’s career. But for the Jeste family, this milestone was one of many in the medical field. Dr. Dilip Jeste, Neelum’s father and a UCSD research psychiatrist, was announced
as the president-elect of the American Psychiatric Association on March 14, just days before Match Day. At 38,000 members worldwide, the APA holds the title of the world’s largest psychiatric organization, according to its website. Dr. Sonali Jeste, the mother who stood by as her daughter opened the fateful envelope, is a child psychologist at Kaiser Permanente Medical Care. The Jeste’s older daughter, Shafali, an M.D., is on faculty at UCLA as a child neurologist. The family has lived locally for 25 years. As for her Match Day results, Neelum Jeste said she was happy with her placement, Washington University at St. Louis, a Missouri school with strong clinical training, ample funding for research, and abundant opportunities in global health. The decision to pursue medicine came not from the assertion of her parents, but rather from paying witness to their interest in

Dinner conversations covered homework problems and tennis practice as much as research breakthroughs and hospital anecdotes. “A lot of kids I know who are children of physicians, I see them NOT wanting to do anything in medicine,” Sonali Jeste said, re-
calling how some parents would express their dissatisfaction with their jobs. “(My parents) come home and they are happy and they love talking about their jobs.” Said Dilip Jeste of his daughters’ decisions to enter medicine, “For both, we are proud of the fact that they have their own minds
and make their own decisions. This is the main goal as parents, to make sure they are happy. It is something they have to decide.” The family’s affinity toward medicine began with the Jeste parents, who began their studies in India. Dilip Jeste was born to a middle-class family from the state of Bombay and is the first physician in his family, he said. Among the titles he holds at the university are Estelle and Edgar Levi Chair in Aging, and Director of the Sam and Rose Stein Institute for Research. With a strong interest in geriatric psychiatric research, Jeste made advancements in the treatment of late-onset schizophrenia. But with two parents in the medical field, the Jeste children witnessed their parents juggle the schedules of physicians with the challenges of parenthood. Between being on call and attending conferences, mother sent cupcakes for class parties and father attended
every tennis match. “My profession is very important to me, and I was not going to give that up,” Sonali Jeste said. “But I was also wanted to know that my kids knew their mom was here.” At the same time, the children gained further exposure to the medical field. They met with practitioners from different areas at casual get-togethers, and the family planned vacations around Dilip Jeste’s conference schedule, traveling to countries such as Australia and Israel. “They set a good example that you can still raise your kids just as well and work just as hard. … When I am a working parent with kids, I will know that it is possible,” Neelum Jeste said. For Dilip Jeste, striking that balance between work and home was not difficult because his priorities were clear. “We genuinely love our kids, and our kids come first before everything else,” he said. “Family has to come first.”

Son’s birth brings director to town as his latest film opens
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY DIANA SAENGER Contributor Saoirse Ronan stars as “Hanna” in the new thriller hitting theater screens on Friday, April 8. The story instantly mesmerizes as a young girl pits her survival skills against an animal twice her size and strength, Mother Nature, and her own father. “Hanna,” a mix of genres that blend seamlessly, excites and intrigues thanks to an inventive story by Seth Lochhead (screenplay by Lochhead and David Farr), and superb direction by Joe Wright. The British-born Wright is in town to promote the film and be near his wife’s family. “Four weeks ago my wife gave birth to our first child, a son, born at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas,” Wright said beaming. “Baby and wife are fine, and baby’s 90-year-old grandfather is very proud.” Wright has an impressive resume — he directed “The Soloist” (starring Jamie Foxx and Robert Downey

Jr.), “Pride & Prejudice” and “Atonement,” the latter two garnered him many awards. Wright said he worked with the young Ronan in “Atonement,” for which she received an Academy Award nomination at age 13. In an exclusive interview with this newspaper group, Wright said it was Ronan who suggested to the studio they hire him to direct “Hanna.” “She was on board before me, and as soon as I read the script I wanted to do it for Saoirse (pronounced “sear-sha”) and me, too,” Wright said. “I was
intrigued by the character of Hanna and by the challenge of an action film, which I had not made before.” Eric Bana plays Hanna’s ex-CIA father, Erik, who has raised her in a North Finland forest, taught her to recite knowledge like an encyclopedia, and to dream by listening to fairy tales. Hanna knows she has an important mission to fulfill that requires her to leave the safety of her father’s love and home. The story has it all — adventure, action, danger and espionage. Wright said he had a lot to
think about in planning his direction. “Filmmaking is a long process, so it’s dangerous to think of it all at once,” he said. “This film took 18 months to make, and you build it brick by brick, slowly building the structure.” As a former puppeteer, Wright said he eagerly responded to the folk-tale aspects of the script. “I recognized it had kind of a fairy-tale structure as it was about a kid growing up in a secluded, relatively safe environment, and at one point, is given a chance to embark on a journey out into the world and the dark forest, and encounter evil and overcome it.” Even if Ronan hadn’t been on board, Wright agreed he would have hired her. The young star is a standout in her films and earned many awards for her role as Susie Salmon in Peter Jackson’s “The Lovely Bones.” “I would have been dubious about anyone else playing that role or if anyone else could have done
If you go What: “Hanna” Rated: PG-13 Plot: A 16-year-old, raised by her father to be the perfect assassin, is dispatched on a mission across Europe, tracked by a ruthless intelligence agent and her operatives. Opens: Friday, April 8 it,” Wright said. “Saoirse is an extraordinarily talented human being, and I had a very clear idea of how we could make this film with her as Hanna.” Wright said he was also thrilled to have Bana and Cate Blanchett on board. “The father figure in fairy tales, for instance in “Rapunzel,” is often a woodcutter. So I wanted someone who had that kind of masculine solidity. He needed to be someone who is strong, dependable, and not vain. Eric was perfect for that
role.” Academy Award-winner Blanchett plays Marissa, a career CIA agent tied to secrets that involve Hanna and Erik. When she joins agents in the deadly pursuit of Hanna, she more than meets her match in the young girl who will not be captured. “I had a clear idea who Marisa could be and knew Cate would be the woman to do it,” Wright said. “She’s an extraordinary actress, and I relished working with her.” Wright resides in London where he grew up in somewhat of a fairyland. His parents founded Islington’s Little Angel Theater, for puppets. He attended Camberwell College of Arts and trained as a filmmaker at St. Martins College of Art & Design in London. In 2007, Wright became the youngest director in history to open a film (“Atonement”) at the Venice Film Festival. Wright is currently juggling several films, including a new version of “Anna Karenina.”

Keynote speakers selected for the 12th Annual Women in Business Symposium The 12th Annual Women in Business Symposium, being held on Thursday, May 19, from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, has selected this year’s keynote speakers. Both are powerful presenters and critically-acclaimed, awardwinning women who have inspired many throughout their illustrious careers. This year’s theme is “Sharing the Power of ‘So What’s Next?!’” Many women take on so much in their daily lives and still face each day with an internal strength and forward-looking attitude of “So What’s Next?! I can handle it!” Rita Kahn will address the attendees with “So What?!, Do It Anyway, Lady!” for the times when those same strong women hesitate or allow challenging times to slow them down. Kahn is a nationally- recognized columnist, TV hostess, Distinguished Toastmaster and professional speaker. She uses lots of humor and outrageous personal inspirational stories that make her audience realize that “you can do it, too!” And as we look to “So What’s Next?!” on a daily basis, life and work can sometimes become stressful. Judy Carter will give attendees the keys to “”Getting What You Want Before you Forget What It Is! Carter quips, “You’re not in a difficult marriage, it’s comedy material,” and “You don’t have the boss from hell, it’s a heckler.” Through her unique approach of delivering big laughs with a big message, she uses the “power of the punch line” to connect with audiences and help them take a different view of the stressful and difficult events in their lives. Carter, who has been featured on “Oprah,” is one of America’s top motivational humorists, international speaker, author of the best-selling books “The Comedy Bible” and “Standup Comedy,” and comedy workshop trainer. The Women in Business Symposium, produced by Sheila McDonnell, is the only local event of its kind. The unique format of the event includes professional keynote speakers, roundtable discussions with experts on topics relating to personal and professional growth, a formal luncheon, exhibits demonstrating the innovative and unique products and services from women in business and over three hours of great networking!

Americana keeps customers coming to its cozy ‘corner’ in Del Mar village BY KELLEY CARLSON andy Gruber is living his Americana dream. “This is what I envisioned and more,” said the fourthgeneration restaurateur and chef at his Del Mar eatery, which serves American food with a Mediterranean influence. Located in the historic Stratford Square, at the corner of Camino del Mar and 15th Street, the restaurant hosts customers day and night. During breakfast and lunch, sunlight filters in the paned windows as customers chat with one another and read newspapers in what Gruber describes as a “diner-esque” setting — funky and eclectic, yet warm and inviting, as reflected in the artwork and checkered floor. Rock and reggae music play; some customers opt to sit on the covered patio with their dogs. Earlier in the day, there are waffles, omelettes and breakfast plates, some of which are named after people in Gruber’s life, such as Casey’s Call and Lina’s Breakfast Sandwich. As the day continues, entree salads, soups, burgers and grilled sandwiches are

At night, the restaurant undergoes a transformation. The music becomes more jazzy and mellow; the lights dim; candles are lit. A full bar is offered, including beer (on tap and bottled) and wine. “It’s a little more ‘bistro-y,’ ” Gruber said of the evening vibe. Some of Gruber’s personal favorite dinner dishes include Steamed New Zealand Green Lip Mussels, Steak Frites, and the Dylan’s and the Caramelized Figs Thin Crust Pizzas. He said everything is made from scratch and he buys local whenever
possible, including the bread, which is from O’Brien’s Boulangerie in Del Mar. A prix-fixe dinner menu is offered for $30 Tuesday through Saturday nights, which includes an appetizer, entree, dessert and a glass of wine. Also, it’s half-price for a bottle of wine every evening, compared to full price at lunch time. Restaurantgoers have about 50 vintages from which to choose; the special price is not available with other promotions. Gruber said that while reservations can be made for dinner, there are plenty of walk-ins; however, seating is on a first-come, first-serve basis during the day. The busiest times tend to be on the weekends and during the Del Mar racetrack’s season, from mid-July through early September. Americana can accommodate 55 people inside and about 70 on the patio. Takeout is available, which can come in handy during the restaurant’s busy times or for customers on the go. Americana also offers full-service catering. Gruber said the restaurant has served at events in Del Mar, La Jolla, Rancho Santa Fe, Rancho Bernardo and Poway.

Upcoming Indian Music & Dance Festival features Carnatic music When you think of Indian music, you probably think of the sitar, and the intricate beat of the tabla, the drum that accompanies it. This is Hindustani music, from the north of India, first popularized in the West half a century ago by Ravi Shankar. But the Indian Music & Dance Festival in his honor that’s coming to La Jolla’s Jewish Community Center April 13-17 will feature a different kind of Indian classical music. It’s a form that only recently started attracting Western attention — Carnatic music, from the southern part of the subcontinent. Though both forms are largely improvisational, Carnatic music includes more
singing, and lacks the Persian and Islamic influences of northern music. Also — surprisingly — one of its featured instruments is the violin. The 4th annual festival, celebrating Ravi Shankar’s 91st birthday, includes five days of events, beginning with a musical workshop/ demonstration Wednesday evening. As always, the festival is produced by IFAASD, the Indian Fine Arts Academy of San Diego, a nonprofit organization dedicated to promoting Indian classical music. The festival will be held at the Garfield Theatre, JCC, 4126 Executive Dr., La Jolla. Tickets: From $25; www.indianfinearts.org. — Lonnie Burstein Hewitt

Local residents’ new movie inspires at Vail Film Festival BY KAREN BILLING STAFF BOX Local residents Linda Jonason and Tamara Lafarga have begun a new adventure in life, starting a film production company called TamLin Studios. They spent March 31-April 3 in Colorado at the Vail Film Festival, promoting their first big project, “Serotonin Rising.” “Who doesn’t love that two women, at this point in their lives, can switch gears and be successful and do something good? ” said Lafarga. “It was an exhilarating weekend.” “Serotonin Rising,” directed by Tony Perri, is billed as the “world’s first truly feel good movie.” Featuring appearances by Deepak Chopra and the Dalai Lama, it features interviews from leading scientists, artists and philosophers on how altruism and acts of kindness can light up the part of the brain and produce serotonin. Interwoven

throughout the documentary-style interviews is a” touching” theatrical storyline. “It did so well,” said Lafarga. “We sold out and it was standing room only. We had to turn people away for both showings.” “People were walking out asking ‘What could I do? How can I help?’ It’s so inspiring,” Jonason said. The neighbors met at a
screening during the development of “Serotonin Rising”— Lafarga was seeking input from Jonason on the film. “Tamara and I really hit it off, we have a lot in common,” Jonason said, who shares a real estate development background with Lafarga. Both were also interested in entertainment and performing. Jonason, as a magician, has performed in 20 different countries, including for Princess Grace and Prince Rainier of Monaco. Lafarga has done a great deal of international travel for speaking engagements. They fused their interests and backgrounds together to form TamLin. “We wanted to produce something for the betterment of mankind,” Lafarga said. “We want to send out a message on faith and family…I really think there’s a need for that kind of entertainment, people need to be

Lafarga said it has been a surprisingly easy transition. “I’m shocked at the amount of success we’re having,”
said Lafarga. “It’s landing in our lap.” After “Serotonin Rising” they have several projects in the works, including “The Homecoming” a project about the movement from war to peace, focusing on veterans coming home from war with post traumatic stress disorder. The David Lynch Foundation has become a supporter of the project. TamLin also has an interest in helping non-profits. They recently helped create a 15-minute music video called “Postcard of Hope and Love” for Japan on March 22. The video hopes to raise funds to support Japan after the devastating tsunami. They can also help produce videos for companies or other individuals. If interested in working with TamLin, e-mail linda1835@gmail.com or tamarafit@aol.com.

QUESTIONS continued from page B1 3. If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract, or improve in the area? I think that there should be more affordable housing available throughout San Diego that allows pets. Too many animals are surrendered because their owners can’t find a place to live that will let them keep their companion. No person that cherishes animals should have to live without a loving pet — especially our seniors. 4. Who or what inspires you? My parents inspire me every day with the love that they have for each other and for their family. They will be celebrating 50 years of marriage this June and I am still in awe of the life that they have built together. I am also inspired by the people that work in the non-profit world – both paid and volunteer. There are so many un-sung heroes in our community that quietly go about saving the world. 5. If you hosted a din-
April 7, 2011 ner party for 8, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? There are so many people that I would like to meet from history. Michelangelo, Moses, Benjamin Franklin, Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther King to name a few. I would also invite my mother’s grandparents so I could meet the people that were brave enough to leave the only home that they ever knew to find a better life in America for their family. It would also be fun to meet Helen Woodward to see what she thinks of how we have grown. And my bonus guest would be my sheltie that just passed from cancer. She would enjoy getting some tasty tidbits from the table. 6. Tell us about what you are currently reading. I am in the middle of “The Lost Hero” by Rick Riordan, which was recommended by my 13-year-old niece. And the next book on my nightstand is “The Art of Racing in the Rain” by Garth Stein. 7. What is your most prized possession? Possessions have never been that important to me. I
feel really lucky that I have a home, a safe car and a fulfilling job. But I do have a few prized treasures in my life – my family, my friends and my sweet sheltie. 8. What do you do for fun? I enjoy hiking, gardening, reading, painting, dinning out and going to the movies. 9. Please describe your greatest accomplishment. Managing the Pet Encounter Therapy (PET) program for the last 17 years. Our mission is to bring the unconditional love and tactile benefits of animals to people in need. I have worked with some pretty incredible volunteers and animals and over the years we have made over 7,000 visits in our community. The people that we visit light up when our animals come in the room, they smile, laugh and sometimes cry because of what they are dealing with – and our animals and volunteers are there to simply hear them and to love them. 10. What is your motto or philosophy of life? “Please let me be the person that my dog thinks I am.”

Before starting his PhD career, he worked as a laboratory technician at Scripps where he went on more than 20 research cruises. His interests also include development of oceanographic equipment.

March was spring cleaning time at Torrey Pines High School! The TPHS lacrosse teams put down their lax sticks and picked up rakes, shovels and brooms to beautify Falcon Stadium. Scholar-athletes from both the Boys and the Girls lacrosse programs, as well as parents, worked enthusiastically for three hours pulling weeds, removing 30 bags of trash, clearing drains and sweeping the stands. With budget cuts to schools, very little manpower goes to keeping up the grounds and facilities besides nominal trash removal so the students have enthusiastically stepped up to fill in some gaps! The Brown family generously provided pizza for more than 60 participants after the work was done. This was the first community service project coordinated by new boys lacrosse head coach Jono Zissi, and TPHS parent volunteer Kellie Doyle. Continuing opportunities for TPHS lacrosse players to give back to others currently include a Red Cross donation drive for Japan, as well as other events to be announced. For more information on activities or volunteer opportunities at Torrey Pines High School, please contact the Foundation Office at (858) 793-3551 or bobbi.karlson@sduhsd.net.

INVENTOR continued from page B1 hundreds of thousands of dollars. The team included industrial designers and engineers from various divisions within Motorola. And, on April 3, 1973, while walking on the street to a press conference to demonstrate the invention at the Manhattan Hilton Hotel in New York City, Cooper, then director of Motorolaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s systems division, couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t resist pushing the orange â&#x20AC;&#x153;off hookâ&#x20AC;? button on Motorolaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 2-and-a-half-pound prototype handset that wirelessly connected him to a base station that Motorola installed
on the roof of a nearby building. Dialing the number of his rival, Joel Engle, head of research at AT&Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bell Labs, and lifting the hefty handset to his ear, Cooper made the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first inpublic analog mobile cell phone call. In his characteristic, low-key Midwestern accent, Cooper said: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Hi , Joel. This is Marty Cooper. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m calling you from a cell phone â&#x20AC;&#x201D; but a real cell phone, [pause], a personal, [pause again] handheld cell phone.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;You notice how I rubbed it in,â&#x20AC;? he chuckled to recall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was a silence on the line and he may have been gritting his teeth, then he politely chatted with me

Martin Cooper in New York City in 1973 for a moment and then we hung up. To this day, Joel doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t remember that phone call, but I promise you it happened because there was a journalist, like
you, standing next to me at the time.â&#x20AC;? Cooper was named as the first inventor on the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Radio telephone systemâ&#x20AC;? patent filed on Oct. 27, 1973, with the U.S. Patent Office later issued as U.S. Patent 3.906.166. Others named on the patent were engineers who worked with Cooper at Motorola and his boss, John F. Mitchell. Ten years later, 1983, Motorola brought its cell phone to market, the Motorola DynaTAC 8000X, that weighed 2 pounds and offered a half-hour talk time for every recharging. It sold for $3,995. We interviewed Cooper, now 82, at his office on Via de la Valle in Del Mar. Cooper remains as focused and feisty as he was when he was 44 and made that first historic cell phone call in 1973, although now

And he still remains adamantly opposed to monopolies in any business, particularly in communications. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were an annoyance [to AT&T],â&#x20AC;?

and talked to Joel today or his colleagues, they still believe the world would have been much better off if Motorola had not antagonized them and [had] let them do what they wanted to do. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are people who believe the monopoly way is the way to do things. And I have very strong feelings about that. Competition is wonderful. Competition is the way we consumers end up protecting our own rights. We canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t battle the billion dollar companies. And the only way we can do that is by buying one product versus another.â&#x20AC;? As for AT&Tâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent announced intention to purchase T-Mobile USA, thereby making AT&T the largest U.S. wireless carrier, Cooper commented: â&#x20AC;&#x153;The carriers would very much like to have a monopoly and they work very hard to do that. They do have competition now, but there are a couple of huge companies, specifically Verizon and AT&T, that are dominant and they would like to become more dominantâ&#x20AC;Ś And if they have a big chunk of radio channels and nobody else can use those, it gives them an effective monopoly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;And thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not in the public interest.â&#x20AC;? Cooper retired from Motorola in 1983 as vice president of research and development. Since then, he and his entrepreneurial wife and partner, Arlene Harris, have launched a number of wireless-related companies, including ArrayComm that researched smart antenna technology and the improvement of wireless networks, and GreatCall that created the Jitterbug, an easy-to-operate cell phone for seniors. He currently heads Dyna Llc, a software â&#x20AC;&#x153;incubatorâ&#x20AC;? of wireless software. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do a lot of speaking, and some people even pay me for that,â&#x20AC;? Cooper said. A native of Chicago, Cooper earned his bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s degree in electrical engineering on an Navy ROTC scholarship from the Illinois Institute of Technology in 1950 and afterwards served in the Navy as an electronics officer on a destroyer and submarine. Returning to civilian life, he worked briefly at Teletype, which was then part of AT&T. In 1954, he joined Motorola as a research engineer, and attended classes at night to earn his masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in electrical engineering from IIT in 1957. He was awarded an honorary doctorate from IIT in 2004, Asked if he received roy-

INVENTOR continued from page B18 alties for his invention of the cell phone, Cooper said: “When I joined Motorola, they gave me a dollar and that was compensation for all my future inventions and intellectual property. So the answer is ‘No.’ On the other hand, Motorola took care of me very well. I have no ill feelings at all. “My bosses were the most wonderful teachers in the world. I was not a typical corporate guy, but they tolerated me for 29 years, gave me free rein and let me do all kinds of creative and interesting things. “My group did the first radio control of traffic. We did the first nationwide mobile dial system for car phones. We did the first nationwide radio pagers. And we did the first ra-
dios that policemen carried in Chicago in 1967. Cellular was just kind of a follow-on to all these others.” But, he conceded, had he received a royalty of a penny for every cell phone sold, he would be ahead by about $50 million. “Yeah,” he said thinking about it, “I could use $50 million. So could you,” he guessed. These days, he said, “I’m trying to stay current with both technology and people. You can’t separate technology and people. They are the same. The worst thing an engineer can do is to get carried away with the technology for the sake of technology. “Technology means the application of science to make the lives of people better. Technology is the easy part for me.
PAGE B19
People are the hard part. “So my latest adventure is trying to understand the social network — Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn. And what I discovered over the past six or eight months, is that these forms of communication, not those [specific] applications, but that kind of communication is going to be another revolution. It’s going to be bigger than the cellular revolution. And why? Because it’s going to provide us with new tools for collaboration, so that when we try to solve problems, whether in business or healthcare, we can use everybody’s minds in a more efficient and effective way. “The social network is just the seed, but that’s going to grow into a way of making humanity solve its problems in a much more efficient way.”
