Residents come out in droves to discuss solutions for Eden Gardens BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET
Gang activity. Public safety. Drug use. These are only a few of the concerns that brought some 150 Solana Beach residents and community leaders to the La Colonia Park Community Room for a community forum on April 30.

“And the elephant in the room is that people feel there is unfair treatment of kids, bias and prejudice against Latino members of the community,” said Manny Aguilar of the La Colonia de Eden Gardens Foundation, which sponsored the event. As an example, he named several derogatory
terms often used in schools to describe members of the Hispanic community. The structure of the forum, the first of its kind, was open-ended, with attendees able to ask questions, share concerns and receive input from a number of officials and leaders — from law enforcement to schools to civic

government. Among those in attendance were Solana Beach Mayor Joe Kellejian, City Manager David Ott, Solana Beach school superintendent Nancy Lynch, Casa de Amistad director Nicole Mione, and Melissa Diaz, a deputy district attorney in the gangs unit. The moderator for the forum was Beatriz
Villarreal, director of the Mano a Mano Foundation, which provides support and education to the Latino community. The event started with an introduction by nearly every person in attendance, each stating his or her name

Solana Beach plastic bag ban ordinance receives council vote
Del Mar school district to conduct bond feasibility study BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District board voted 3-2 April 25 to conduct a feasibility survey this month for a general obligation bond on the November ballot. According to Benjamin Dolinka, president of the Dolinka Group, the survey will show what people are
BY KAREN BILLING Del Mar Union Superintendent Jim Peabody is retiring. Peabody made the announcement at the April 25 school board meeting that he will be leaving his position at the end of June, a little over two years after his appointment. “It has been a pleasure serving you for the past two years and working with the remarkable board. We have made tremendous progress in the district and I am proud to have been a part of it,” Peabody said. “After 41 years serving the public in education, I am now looking forward to enjoying time with my family.”
willing to pay and the district can study what its needs are and see what projects it would be able to do. “It’s just the first step,” Dolinka said. “I think what you’ll see from the feasibility study is there’s going to be tremendous support.”

BY JOE TASH Following the lead of local governments in other parts of California, Solana Beach has become the first city in San Diego County to introduce an ordinance prohibiting stores and restaurants from providing plastic shopping bags to their customers at the point of sale. Some types of plastic bags, such as those used by supermarket customers to carry produce and meat to the checkout line, and by dry-cleaning shops, are still al-
lowed under the new rules. The Solana Beach City Council voted unanimously in favor of the ordinance following a public hearing at its meeting on Wednesday, April 25. The ordinance will come back to the council at its next meeting on May 9 for a second reading. If approved, it would be phased in over the next six months.

Del Mar school district to split childcare development center between two schools BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District’s childcare development center (CDC) will be split between Ashley Falls and Sycamore Ridge schools in the fall, the board decided in a unanimous vote on April 25. The board went with “option C,” a short-term solution that involves the infants, toddlers and age 2s moving to Ashley Falls, leaving the 3 year old to preschool CDC and special education preschool program at Sycamore Ridge. Option C was recommended by district staff as it met criteria to allow
for growth, alleviate some parking and get kindergartners back into their designated classrooms at Sycamore Ridge. The solution could cost about $49,350. “The expenditure is warranted because we’re meeting all the three needs we were looking for to solve the problem on a temporary basis,” district superintendent Jim Peabody said. Peabody wanted the board to direct the district to begin working with staff at Ashley Falls and CDC staff to see if there are any solutions on the Ashley Falls campus that may lower
the cost. “We are interested in working together in support of all children throughout the district, preserving the integrity of the CDC and SPED (special needs preschool), and the integrity of K-6 at Ashley Falls and throughout the district,” said Ashley Falls Principal Shelley Peterson. “ Children are our business and must remain at the core of all district decisions.” Trustee Doug Rafner said he saw this option as the true compromise, a district-wide solution for a districtSee SCHOOLS, page 14
CV board discusses city review process for One Paseo project BY KAREN BILLING The city review process for One Paseo was discussed at the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board meeting held April 26. While exact dates of the process aren’t known, there are a lot of milestones to hit before the project reaches City Council. “There will be a lot of opportunity for the community to participate,” said board chair Frisco White. The first phase ongoing right now is the circulating draft environmental impact
report (EIR) and comments are due on May 29. “City staff has to incorporate all of those comments into the final document,” said city planner Bernie Turgeon. “I don’t know how long it will take for staff and the applicant to address them all.” The final EIR will then be prepared and a hearing at the planning commission can be scheduled a minimum of 14 days afterward. Community members were concerned about that 14 days but Turgeon stressed
that is just the minimum time it could be scheduled and it isn’t likely to be that soon. “There’s not a chance at all that the project won’t come before the (Carmel Valley) board or regional issues sometime this summer,” said Marcela Escobar Eck, a consultant for Kilroy. Escobar Eck said that it would be “suicide” for a developer to bypass a community planning board recommendation and there will be an opportunity for the board to weigh in on the
project. “The goal is not to surprise the public here,” Turgeon assured the group. The Carmel Valley planning board will see the project again for recommendation likely before it goes to the planning commission and White said they are considering holding a separate meeting in a larger venue than the library to be able to get the most community involved and provide “meaningful” public input.

CV Rec. Council not permitted to comment on One Paseo project
Red Robin to close at DM Highlands Red Robin at the Del Mar Highlands Town Center will be closing its doors on May 27 as its lease expires at the end of the month, according to center manager Elizabeth Schreiber. Schreiber said they are currently in discussions to find an eatery to take Red Robin’s place. Nothing is official yet but Schreiber said it would likely be a local restaurateur. “Our focus at Del Mar Highlands has been to showcase and highlight San Diego regional restaurants,” Schreiber said. Red Robin will remain in business locally at its UTC location. “They’ve been a great tenant and I know Carmel Valley residents have enjoyed them for years,” Schreiber said. — Karen Billing
Del Mar Schools Education Foundation campaign fundraising deadline extended
BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Parks and Recreation Council was not permitted to discuss or debate One Paseo at its recent meeting. The board had hoped to comment at its May 1 meeting on the One Paseo draft Environmental Impact Report (EIR), specifically on the recreation element for the 608 multi-family residential units. After reviewing the recreation council’s agenda, city staff informed board chair Ginny Barnes via e-mail that they would not be allowed to discuss One Paseo or to take action by submitting a comment letter to the DEIR. “We’ve been censored,” Barnes said. “I was taken by huge surprise that we were told not to discuss it.” Mike Rodrigues, district manager of community parks division 1, said when it comes to development agreements, developmental environmental documents and other documents of a planning nature, the primacy resides with the local planning group. Rodrigues consulted with the deputy director, assistant director and the city attorney’s office. The rec. council’s comments would have been related to what Barnes said they feel is an error in the DEIR, that Carmel Valley has 13 population-based parks. Barnes said only five of those 13 are population-based, the rest are greenbelts paid for by local Maintenance Assessment Districts. If they are to be identified as population-based parks, Barnes said the city should actually be paying for their maintenance. The Parks and Rec. board’s draft comment letter said that Carmel Valley is short on park space and there’s no land available for additional parks so the impact of development on local parks must be met with an on-site population-based park land. Speaking not as the board’s chair during public input, Barnes pointed to the council’s standard operating procedures that specifically reference “reviewing development projects.” She said it has never happened before that they haven’t been able to discuss a development. “I’m very frustrated,” Barnes said. “Everyone has a right and an obligation to respond to the DEIR and I will send a letter as an individual.” As responses are due by May 29, Barnes said they might form an ad hoc committee to comment on the recreation element through the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board. Representing Kilroy, John Leppert said he would be happy to attend any such meeting to help explain any issues and listen to their input.
The Del Mar Schools Education Foundation’s annual campaign deadline has been extended from April 30 to May 7, according to Drew Isaacman, foundation president. The extra week gives time to close the gap in funding Extended Studies Curriculum teachers for next year. As of April 30, 1,650 district families have contributed a total of $1,050,000. That was up from the $960,000 reported at last Wednesday’s board meeting. The foundation still needs an additional $230,000 to match last year’s campaign total and fund the same number of ESC teachers that benefit the children in the subjects of technology, PE, science, art and music. “ESC is world class at this district and I know we have passionate parents,” Isaacman said last week at the meeting. “I plea to put any issue or message behind by not contributing and take advantage of these last days.” Anyone can help the foundation meet its goals by contributing online at www.delmarkids.org by May 7. A new video showcasing the benefits of the ESC program can be found on the DMSEF home page. — Karen Billing
Head-on collision in CV leaves two people injured BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A collision in Carmel Valley that may have been caused by reckless driving left two people hospitalized. A white BMW and a black vehicle were speeding and weaving through northbound traffic in the 12500 block of El Camino Real about 8:10 a.m. Friday, April 27, when the accident occurred, San Diego police Officer Frank Cali said. The driver of the BMW lost control and veered into oncoming traffic, striking a Jeep head-on, he said. The Jeep driver, a woman in her 40s, suffered back and neck injuries, and the BMW driver, a man in his 40s, suffered a serious leg injury, Cali said. Both were taken to a hospital, he said. The driver of the black vehicle drove off, he said.

Canyon Crest Academy wins County Academic League Championship Canyon Crest Academy claimed its first San Diego County Academic League championship after dominating Olympian High School, 112-42, in the final match April 26 at the ITV studios. The Canyon Crest Ravens, champions of the North County Academic League, fell behind, 8-0, to Olympian, champions of the Sweetwater League, before going on a 30-point run. The Ravens were hardly threatened the rest of the match, holding a 52-25 advantage midCanyon Crest Academy is the 2012 San Diego way through the 30-minute County Academic League champion, having defeated Olympian High School, 112-42, April 26. It is the match. The second half, Canyon Ravens’ first county title. Canyon Crest Academy team members are, front row, from left: Coach Brian Shay Crest was able to comfortably cruise to its 112-42 champion- and Maggie Yang; back row: Raymond Wu, Elijah Granet, Catherine Kang, Michael Chen, Anthony ship victory. Tokman, Shelief Juarez, and Henry Maltby. Things weren’t quite so comfortable for the Ravens in their semifinal match versus the champions of the Grossmont League, West Hills High School. Canyon Crest was generally in the lead for the first half of the match, before pulling out to a 62-43 lead with 10 minutes remaining. West Hills closed the gap to 70-69 with 3:30 left. With one minute remaining, and CCA holding a 76-68 lead, the Wolf Pack correctly answered the next toss-up question for three points, going into the bonus question on which a team may earn up to five points. As regulation time ran out, West Hills correctly answered all three parts of the bonus question, resulting in a tie. West Hills aggressively buzzed in mid-question on the first toss-up of overtime, having to spell the name of the long nerve that runs down the back of the leg. The Wolf Pack player chose the wrong nerve to spell. Raven junior Elijah Granet then buzzed in and correctly spelled sciatic, giving the Ravens the win and the chance to play for the championship. In the evening’s other semifinal match, Olympian handily defeated the Metro League champion, Coronado, 105-52. Canyon Crest Academy has been coached by math teacher Brian Shay for all eight years of its existence. This is CCA’s first North County and County championships, having finished second in the NCAL the previous two years. Canyon Crest is part of the San Dieguito Union High School District. The Ravens team consists of Michael Chen, Elijah Granet, Sheilef Juarez, Catherine Kang, Henry Maltby, captain Anthony Tokman, Raymond Wu, and Maggie Yang.
Annual Jerry Finnell Memorial Walk to be held May 18 A single daisy, the flower symbolically associated with “loyal love,” will be presented to each participant in the annual Jerry Finnell Memorial Walk to be held May 18 by Del Mar Community Connections on the Del Mar Beach.

The event will begin at 8:30 a.m. in Powerhouse Park with greetings by Mayor Carl Hilliard and Kathy Finnell, widow of the late Del Mar councilman Jerry Finnell. A continental breakfast that includes coffee, tea, fruit, bagels and spreads will follow.. The walk starts at 9 a.m. At the end of the walk, lemon cake--a Del Mar tradition— will be served to participants, also in Powerhouse Park. To register, call 858 792-7565 or visit www.dmcc.cc. Individual rates are $25 adult, and $15 for a child. A family rate of two adults and their children is offered at $50. Proceeds will benefit work of the Del Mar Community Connections, a volunteer-driven organization dedicated to enriching community life in Del Mar by promoting independence and well-being among seniors and those with special needs.

KEEP TALKING, WE’RE LISTENING.
A Place for Carmel Valley to Gather Before planning a single building, we set out to better understand the community’s needs and priorities. We spoke with thousands of neighbors and residents and took note of their ideas and suggestions. Over and over, we heard that Carmel Valley needs a central gathering place for local residents with a mix of compatible uses, including a specialty grocery store. We believe a truly successful Main Street can only come from close collaboration with the community. Over the years, we have made numerous changes to the plans based on feedback we received from neighbors and local residents, and we continue to make changes.

PEABODY continued from page 1 to see you go. We’ve appreciated your time spent here and your stabilizing influence on this district.” Peabody was named interim superintendent on April 1, 2010, one day after Sharon McClain was released with cause from her contract. About a month later in May 2010, Peabody was given the acting superintendent role. Peabody’s education career also included serving as the assistant superintendent of curriculum for the Grossmont Union High School District for 35 years, 10 years on the Alpine Union School District board and 10 years as the regional director of district and school support at the San Diego County Office of Education. Peabody thanked the board for its support as well as the teachers and staff for their dedication. “Our staff is extraordinary and they work hard to ensure that the children of the Del Mar Union School
District receive the best educational experience in America,” said Peabody. “They excel in helping each child find and unwrap their unique gifts.” Peabody will assist the district in the process of finding a new superintendent, a process that will begin immediately. He said he will help ensure that the district and community have a “positive and smooth transition to new leadership.” The meeting was also the last for administrative assistant Sherry Forte, who is also retiring. Forte was with DMUSD for 14 years in various positions. Her last day will be Monday, April 30. The board members thanked Forte for her service, as did the superintendent. “You’ve been my rock for the last two years and I appreciate everything you’ve done, especially for the children of this district,” Peabody said.
EDEN continued from page 1 and goal of coming to the event. Generations of locals were represented at the forum, with some having lived in the Eden Gardens community since the 1920s. One woman said she came to the forum seeking help and information because her son is imprisoned and she fears he won’t be able to find a job upon his release from prison, and another wanted to know what to do when approached by the police and asked for citizenship documents. San Diego County Sheriff’s Captain Sherri Sarro said the Sherriff Department’s purpose is not to enforce immigration. “I don’t care where you were born and what documents you have,” she said. “I am here to enforce crime.” Another community member said she was concerned and scared that people are often behind the Solana Heritage Museum, located in La Colonia Park, smoking marijuana. Sarro said to report any suspicious activity to Crime Stoppers by calling (888) 580-8477 and a local neighborhood watch program can be reached at (858) 565-5200. “We can’t be everywhere at once,” Sarro said. “You are our eyes and ears. Without you, we can’t keep this community safe.” Laura Sentaro, a mother of three, has lived in the community for 25 years and worked at the local CVS Pharmacy for 15 years. She said in that time, she has not only become familiar with the problems in the community, but also the solutions. A true community vigilante, she said she walks the streets at night, sometimes as late as 4 a.m., and she’s often on the scene observing what’s going on when she sees police lights. She also said she holds a Bible study in her home to

The aim of the new law is to reduce the distribution and use of “single-use” plastic and paper bags, and “promote a major shift towards reusable bags in the City of Solana Beach,” said a city staff report included on Wednesday’s council agenda. The law: • Prohibits all retail establishments in the city from providing single-use plastic carryout bags, unless a narrow exemption applies. • Encourages retailers to give their customers up to a 5 cent credit for each reusable bag they use when making purchases. • Allows retailers to provide their customers with recycled paper bags if a minimum fee of 10 cents per bag is charged. • Grocery stores, food vendors, restaurants, pharmacies and city facilities must comply with the law within three months of its adoption; all remaining affected retail establishments, vendors and nonprofits must comply within six months. • Violations of the law may be prosecuted as infractions or misdemeanors, or an administrative fine may be imposed. All of the 22 people who requested to speak at the public hearing before the council’s vote were in favor of the ordinance. Several dozen people attended the meeting, and most stood up when a speaker asked who in the crowd supported the proposed ordinance. “This is important. It’s overdue. No other city in
San Diego County has done this,” said Peter Zahn, chairman of the U.S. Green Chamber of Commerce, in urging the council to approve the ordinance. “We hope this is the first in a series of dominoes to get everyone to where we need to go,” Belinda Smith of the Surfrider Foundation. The city ordinance notes that 19 billion singleuse bags are used in California each year, but less than 5 percent are recycled. In Solana Beach, there are 461 retail businesses, and about 160 of them provide some 6.5 million single-use plastic bags to their customers each year. The ordinance states that “numerous studies have documented the prevalence of single-use plastic carryout bags littering the environment, blocking storm drains, fouling beaches and the ocean environment.” Solana Beach’s ordinance is partially based on ordinances passed in Manhattan Beach, Santa Monica and Long Beach. According to the staff report, 23 cities, counties and waste management agencies in California have adopted some type of plastic bag reduction ordinance. Following the public comments, Councilman Dave Roberts said, “This is the right thing to do.” Mayor Joe Kellejian said, “It’s time has come. I’m glad to be a part of this.”
help local youth stay off the streets. “Get involved with your kids or the streets will take care of them,” Sentaro said, adding that more members of the Latino community need to report incidents in their area. “It’s our people who are concerned but they’re too afraid to speak up,” she said. “Meanwhile, there are white people running through our streets exercising and I’ve asked them, ‘Are you afraid?’ and they say, ‘No, I feel comfortable in this community.’” Francisco Rodriguez, president of MiraCosta Community College, garnered a round of applause when he told the crowd that he’s taken in a lot of “wanna-be gang members” at MiraCosta, and “at one point, they want a fresh start.” “In addition to the help of family, law enforcement and community organizations, they need to see a different life for themselves,” he said. “Sometimes just walking onto a college campus can do that.” He continued, “Do not lose that tremendous sense of urgency. Something is wrong. Let’s not wait for the next person to die or get raped.” He also said “more brown and black people are incarcerated than in college,” and pointed out that it costs more tax dollars to keep someone in prison than in school. “We are part of the solution,” he said. “We accept the top 100 percent of the graduating class.” Solana Beach Deputy Mayor Dave Roberts said he was proud of the event turnout and representation from so many sectors of the community. “These people came together because they want to make our community better,” said Roberts. “Last night showed that there is interest, and how you channel that interest is with positive solutions.” For informations or to get involved in the community, contact Aguilar and the La Colonia de Eden Gardens Foundation at (619)672-5872 or mannya@sbcglobal.net.
BOND continued from page 1 The bond will cost $8 per $100,000 of assessed property values for 30 years. Superintendent Jim Peabody said the district’s needs include technology, their future ninth school and large projects such as roofing and energy-wise systems. District trustee Doug Perkins and president Scott Wooden voted against the bond survey. “I think the timing is not right to do this. There’s a number of confusing measures on the upcoming ballot,” Perkins said, currently counting about 65. Perkins was also concerned about changes to the state’s school funding methods, where DMUSD could lose its basic aid funding, which would be a 50 percent blow to the district’s general fund. “It’s foolish to spend $20,000 on this out of general fund money,” Perkins said, echoing Wooden’s concern of wasting the money if they didn’t decide to go through with the bond. Trustee Kristen Gibson said that she had the same concerns about basic aid but saw a possible bond as something that could help. “I’m petrified that basic aid would go away and we would have nothing in place,” Gibson said. “To
have nothing in place is even scarier.” Rodriguez agreed. “The chances are we’re going to need something,” she said. The district’s project list must be specified in the bond measure and it requires 55 percent approval from the voters. Trustee Comischell Rodriguez was encouraged that 25 percent of the voters have a relationship with the school district. Wooden was less encouraged, noting that of that 25 percent, only 50 percent were willing to spend $900,000 toward the district’s Extended Studies Curriculum this year. The feasibility survey would be out in May and the results presented by the May 23 board meeting. A project list for the bond would be completed by June and the board could call for the bond election on July 25. It will take a super-majority vote to put the bond on the ballot, at least a 4-1 vote. The deadline to submit paperwork to the county registrar of voters would be Aug. 10. The San Dieguito Union High School District is also considering a GO bond this year for over $400 million for school renovation, technology upgrades and new construction. The SDUHSD board is slated to hear its feasibility survey results at a special May 9 meeting.

Del Sol Lions support local Eagle Scout candidate The Del Sol Lions presented a check for $250 to Robert Francis of Del Mar Boy Scout Troop 713 to help cover the cost of his Eagle Scout project. Francis, a freshman at Canyon Crest Academy, constructed an equestrian and hiking bridge in the Horse Park section of the San Dieguito River Valley. The project cost approximately $2,800 and is part of the Coast to Crest trail connecting Del Mar and Julian. Part of Francis’ Eagle Award requirement is that he raise the funds for his project in addition to involving others including scouts from his Troop to help. Francis shared a PowerPoint presentation on how he and several scouts from Troop 713 constructed the bridge, including some of the challenges of building a bridge strong enough to hold Del Sol Lion President Bulent Erol the weight of horses.

Conceptual digital artist brings his unique creativity to films, video games, TV commercials and theme park attractions BY JOE TASH From an office in a second-floor bedroom of his family’s home, local resident John Dickenson dreams of worlds that have never existed, and gives them life, depth and color. His tools are his computer screen and electronic drawing board, powerful imaging programs, and sometimes simple pen and paper. A digital concept artist, Dickenson works on feature films, video games and TV commercials, and has even been called in to help with designs for theme park rides. Among his film credits are two movies based on the Narnia novels of writer C.S. Lewis: “Prince Caspian” and “The Voyage of the Dawn Treader.” Dickenson, 57, has made his living as an artist for more than two decades; before he began working on films and video games, he was a freelance illustrator, graphic designer and comic book inker. He was recently admitted to a union for film artists, which he expects will result in more calls from Hollywood directors and
production designers. This year, two films that he worked on, “Snow White and the Huntsman,” and “47 Ronin,” will open in theaters. Dickenson said his job often begins in the “pre-production” phase of a film, when a project is being pitched to studio executives. The executives then decide whether to “green light” the project (give it funding for full production). Dickenson starts with a script, or a conversation with a filmmaker or video game designer, then begins to make sketches of the scene or character that is needed. “It’s my job to try to capture their vision and chase it around a bit,” he said. “I see shapes and colors and images and start to chase them. Sometimes it comes together with minimal effort, other times it takes a lot of work. It’s a back and forth, push and pull process,” he said. In some cases, Dickenson works from his home office, while in others, the director or production design-
er wants him to commute to a studio in Los Angeles. The final product can have many sources: sketches that are scanned into the computer; photographs; digital images “painted” onto an electronic drawing board, which are then digitized; and even scraps of fabric scanned into the computer for their texture or color. For one of the Narnia movies, Dickenson used a sketch of trees with human faces that he drew in a sketchbook while on his honeymoon. “It scratches an itch to do pen on paper. You don’t get to do that a lot in the heat of battle,” when working on deadline on a film project, he said. Although he always loved to draw, Dickenson didn’t focus on art as a career until he was in his 20s. He raced dirt bikes in high school, and then held a series of jobs, from working in a machine shop to driving a forklift in a warehouse. He attended Fullerton Art College, and then got a part-time job in an art store run by one of his teachers. “That kind of started

The progress of the disease can be slowed, Dickenson said, but not stopped entirely. At some point, he said, he won’t be able to continue working as an artist. But for now, he has taken up the electric guitar, because his doctors have told him the activity will improve hand and eye coordination, stimulate his brain, and help keep the disease at bay. He is also planning to have a procedure called deep brain stimulation (DBS), in which electrodes are implanted in the brain. He hopes the procedure will decrease his tremors and allow him to reduce his medication. He’s also looking forward to working on new film and video game projects, and making art that — in the words of his friend and fellow artist, Justin Sweet — has the three S’s: “Startle, spectacle and spirit.” “You strive to have that emotional connection that’s bigger than the painting itself,” he said.

HOW A SAN DIEGO COMPANY HAS BEEN
PROVIDING FRESH WATER AND JOB OPPORTUNITIES FOR MORE THAN 50 YEARS.
Charlie Grant knew that his rural well in Santee, California produced sweet, pure water — but he didn’t know just how sweet. What started as a roadside water stand in 1958 turned into PureFlo, a successful water-delivery and filtration business that is still run by the Grant family. So when PureFlo wanted to work with a bank that understood their history and vision for the future, they chose Bank of America. Today, PureFlo relies on Bank of America for a line of credit, which has helped them continue to grow their business and provide refreshing water to more than 20,000 customers in San Diego. PureFlo is another example of how we’re working to help locally based businesses grow and hire in San Diego — and across the country. In 2011, we provided $1.27 billion in new credit to small businesses in California — an increase of 14% from 2010.

TPHS student Burgess proving himself on the golf course and off BY GIDEON RUBIN Like most of his elite golfing peers, Torrey Pines High’s Ryan Burgess hopes to someday play on the PGA. But he’s prudent enough to also be working on a Plan B, and Burgess, a RSF resident who last year accepted an offer to play Division I golf at Southern Methodist University, plans to pursue a degree in business or finance — just in case. “I’ve always been interested in the stock market,” he said. It doesn’t take a finance degree, however, to know that these days Burgess’ golfing stock is going through the roof. Burgess was already considered a rising golf star in amateur circles before elevating his elite status last month by winning his first American Junior Golf Association title. Burgess won the Under Armour/Hunter Mahan AJGA Championship, held April 13-15 at Gleneagles Country Club in Plano, Texas. Burgess fired a 6-over-par 182 (75-70-37) to win the boys’ division by three strokes. He counts the title among his career highlights, right there with signing with SMU in November, and helping lead the Falcons to a state championship last year as a junior. Burgess is ranked No. 74 in the most recent Golfweek/Sagarin polling of high school seniors. Burgess said he’s played in more competitive fields, but that he’s never been atop the leaderboard of a high impact tournament before the Hunter Mahan event.
Ryan Burgess It was especially sweet for him because the title came within just 20 miles of Dallas, where he’ll be playing collegiate golf at SMU. “It meant that all the hard work paid off, that I’ve improved and that I’m continuing to improve and learning to handle the pressure,” he said. Torrey Pines coach Chris Drake described Burgess as a humble, level-headed kid with a tremendous work ethic and aptitude. He added that Burgess hasn’t let winning the prestigious title get to his head. The AJGA title has, however, brought
an enormous sense of pride to his Falcons teammates, and boosted Burgess’ already formidable stature in amateur golf. “For Ryan, it’s one more notch towards what he’s working for,” Drake said. “It puts him on the radar for others to recognize that he’s an up-and-coming player and a force to be reckoned with. “It might have a direct impact on the rankings at SMU (next season). We’ll see.” Burgess has emerged as a quiet leader, Drake said, noting his unflappable demeanor is ideally suited for high-pressure golf. His work ethic has commanded the respect of teammates. Burgess practices up to seven hours a day when he’s not playing, and has maintained a GPA above 3.6. He believes his ability to keep his cool on the course to be among his greatest golfing assets. “I’d like to think that I have a fairly good mental game,” he said. “When I’m on the course in tournaments I know it’s not the end of the world. It’s just another round of golf.” Just as important is his passion for the sport that drives a tireless work ethic. “Nobody has to ever tell me I need to go practice if I have a tournament coming up,” he said. Burgess acknowledges that his golfing development hasn’t always been easy, and maintaining his confidence is a constant struggle. But he got a huge shot in the arm just before the start of his junior year. It wasn’t
until Sept. 1 of last year that colleges were allowed to make recruiting inquiries. “I thought I might be able to play (college golf) but I really wasn’t expecting anything,” he said. Burgess received 10 emails within the first few days. “That’s when I realized I’m going to play college golf most likely, and that it could go further from there.” Burgess has been playing golf since he was practically a toddler and has been on the tournament circuit for six years. Burgess credits his parents, who are both golfers, with getting him on the course at a young age. He cited his mother, Mickey Burgess, who played Division I tennis at Butler University, with helping instill in him a competitive spirit. Burgess grew up in Princeton, N.J., moving to Rancho Santa Fe when he was 10. He primarily played youth basketball on the East Coast, transitioning to golf when he moved to San Diego County. He says he prefers competing in an athletic endeavor in which his failures don’t affect anybody but himself. “You kind of feel guilty if you take the last shot and you miss or if you don’t play well, you feel like you let the whole team down,” he said. “If I play bad in golf I don’t feel like I let anybody else down. “It’s just me. Nobody’s really yelling at me to play harder defense. It’s only me trying to motivate myself.”

Former Navy SEAL decides to become a writer and pens his memoirs BY KELLEY CARLSON When former U.S. Navy SEAL Sniper Course Manager Brandon Webb decided to write his latest book, he had a mission: to have his young children understand why he had been away and to one day read about his experiences. The memoir, “The Red Circle,” details Webb’s ventures that led him to becoming a Navy SEAL and his eventual work designing post-9/11 sniper training courses. It also covers his transition to life as a private entrepreneur. While Webb has lived in the San Diego area for the last 15 years, he originally hails from Canada. At age 7, his family moved to the United States, and they resided on a boat in Ventura Harbor. When he was 16, Webb was involved in a fight with his father and thrown out of the “house” — a small vessel anchored off Tahiti. His 6,000-mile journey back to California — which he accomplished without a driver’s license — helped lay the foundation for his successful military career. In 1993, Webb joined the Navy, where he initially served as an Aviation Warfare Systems Operator and Search and Rescue Swimmer. He went on to complete Basic Underwater Demolition SEAL training with class 215. Brought to Coronado as a SEAL in 1997, Webb was involved in combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. After his last deployment with SEAL Team Three, he worked at the Naval Special Warfare Group One Sniper Cell. Webb said that during this time, he and some other SEALs were approached about helping to revamp the sniper program to “bring it into the 21st century.” For Webb, it eventually became a full-time job, and he took over as head instructor of the sniper course at the end of 2003. More than 300 SEAL sniper students graduated from Webb’s three-month-long course. One of them was Chris Kyle, the most decorated sniper in USSOCOM (U.S. Special Operations Command) with more than 250 confirmed kills. Another of Webb’s trainees was Marcus Luttrell, lone survivor among the dozen SEALs who were a part of the ill-fated Operation Red Wings in Afghanistan in 2005. The following year, Webb’s career with the Navy came to a close, and for a short period, he performed contract work with
an intelligence agency in Iraq. But after spending large amounts of time away from his family for years, Webb decided a change was in order. “My first son was born ... while I was chasing bad guys in caves in Afghanistan,” Webb said. “It was time for me to spend time with my family.” With his own entrepreneurial parents as an inspiration, Webb chose to attend business classes through The Business Professional Course. It was there that he discovered he had a knack for writing and he could better express Brandon Webb himself. “I found I was good at it,” Webb said. He gained experience as a contributing editor for Military. com, and then merged his business and literary skills into SOFREP.com, or Special Operations Forces Situation Report, where he currently serves as editor in chief. The site launched Feb. 1, and contains up-to-date information about the Special Operations community. Among the features at SOFREP.com is an online show titled “Inside the Team Room,” which debuted April 19. Each episode lasts five to 10 minutes, and presents interviews with historical and modern-day Special Operations heroes. Before heading his own website, Webb decided to give book writing a shot. Two years ago, he co-wrote “The 21st Century Sniper” with Glen Doherty, a technical publication that
provides tips and basic training required for aspiring marksmen. His most recent book, “The Red Circle,” was released on April 10, and debuted on the New York Times’ bestseller list in its first week. According to Webb, his desire to write it was inspired by Randy Pausch’s “The Last Lecture,” a speech about achieving childhood dreams, which later became a book. Although Pausch had been diagnosed with terminal cancer shortly before the lecture, he focused on living and overcoming obstacles. “I saw how powerful of a message it was,” Webb said. It was one he wanted to pass on to his family, relating with his own experiences as a SEAL. “This is my first real serious literary foray,” Webb said. The author is already hard at work on two more books: one focusing on business, the other discussing the best sniper schools in the world. Of course, the SEALs are at the top, Webb noted. Furthermore, Webb recently established the Red Circle Foundation, in which proceeds from fundraisers and donations go to the Special Operations Warrior Foundation and the Navy SEAL Foundation. For more information about Webb, go to www.brandontylerwebb.com. Webb will discuss his career and the inspiration behind the book from 6 to 8 p.m. May 18 at a private residence in Rancho Santa Fe, as part of the Rancho Santa Fe Library Guild’s spring author talks.

SCHOOLS continued from page 2 wide program. Trustee Comischell Rodriguez appeared to reluctantly agree to the motion to approve Option C. “I’m really hesitant to give any money toward fixing a problem when we could find a long-term solution in the next 12 months,” Rodriguez said. Peabody assured the board that the district was very comfortable spending the funds and that they would work hard to minimize the cost. He said, hopefully, the CDC would be able to break even on incoming tuition. The CDC has been housed at Sycamore Ridge for the last two years on a temporary basis but the school has run into problems with overcrowding and kindergartners being displaced from classrooms specifically designed for them. The selected option impacts Ashley Falls by eight parking spaces and permanently adds three sinks to classrooms at a cost of $30,000, a higher cost because it involves new sewer lines. The district’s popular Children’s Creative Workshop summer program will
have to be moved from the Ashley Falls campus due to the work. Three kindergarten-designated classrooms are returned to Sycamore Ridge with three classrooms for growth. It also adds eight parking spaces. “Option C is the only reasonable and viable solution for the upcoming fall,” said Sycamore Ridge parent Jennifer MacKay. ”It puts back kindergarten students…it shows you’re listening to the concerns.” There are still some concerns about overcrowding at Sycamore among parents as no families have opted to move from Sycamore with the district’s new Option Area program and there are 62 kindergartners confirmed for this year and seven packets still out. “Option C will get us through a year, but we’ll be in the same position in at least a year,” said Lisa House, an employee at Sycamore. The short-term options were presented just last week at a workshop at Ocean Air School on April 19. Parents such as Jen Charat asked if the district would consider delaying their decision until parents could process the options more.
However, due to preschool licensing, the board could not wait to take action. Parents echoed Rodriguez’s concerns about the cost. “I have no problem with the CDC at Ashley Falls, we do have the space and it should be used,” said Ashley Falls parent Wayne Harris. “As a taxpayer, I think this is a misuse of our funds. We have fewer dollars coming our way and it’s financially irresponsible to spend any money that doesn’t need to be spent.” Wayne specifically targeted the capital cost and ongoing $12,000 cost for extra on-site administration. Andrea Peddycord, an Ashley Falls teacher with children in the CDC, also urged for fiscal responsibility, “A change is not needed at this time until there’s a long-term solution,” Peddycord said. “It makes no sense to spend thousands on a solution that will last two to three years.” Peabody said the $12,000 will come out of the enterprise fund and leftover money from the Shores sale. The Shores money can only be used toward capital improvements like the sinks. Randy Wheaton, director of
maintenance and operations, said they might be able to save more money by wrapping this project with the project to add portables to Ocean Air School this summer.
PASEO continued from page 2 After hearing the project, the planning commission has 60 days to make a recommendation to City Council. City Council will then hold a public hearing to approve, conditionally approve or deny the application at the hearing. Carmel Valley Recreation Board member Ginny Barnes asked the city that they consider increasing their hearing notification area to larger than 300 feet from the site. She also asked that they consider not holding any major meetings during the summertime. The DEIR can be accessed on One Paseo’s site, onepaseo.com, and opposition group What Price Main Street’s site is whatpricemainstreet.com. A hardcopy is available at the Carmel Valley Library.

Notre Dame Academy students experience the pioneer life Notre Dame Academy recently enhanced student learning by supplementing inclass curriculum with hands-on experience. The fourth grade classes at NDA have spent their days in history class studying pioneers of the Colonial period. In the spirit of seeing and experiencing what this time period was really like, the students were given an opportunity to spend an afternoon living the pioneer life. Through the innovative traveling Pioneer Living program, NDA students took part in practical demonstrations and participated in hands-on learning centers and experienced real life in the 1800s. Students panned for gold, made candles of wax and even had an opportunity to grind wheat, sift it into flour, knead and roll out bread dough. With enthusiasm, the students returned to school with not only a better understanding of what they had been learning in their history books but also a first-hand account of what it was like to be a true pioneer in the 1800s. For more information, visit: www.pioneerliving.org and www.ndasandiego.org Notre Dame Academy serves students from pre-school through 8th grade and is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). The preschool is licensed by the State of California(376700222). The campus is located at 4345 Del Mar Trails Road, San Diego, CA 92130, (858) 509-2300; www.ndasd.org. The school continues to accept applications for the 2012-2013 school years.

Dons 3-4th grade team off to 3-0 start The Carmel Valley Dons 3-4th Grade Spring Tackle Football team recently extended its winning streak by defeating the Temecula Titans 12-7. The Titans were up at half time 7-6. Both teams defenses were dominating the second half and with just 45 seconds remaining in the game on the Dons 15yard line, Edin Gonzalez (32) stripped the Titans running back and ran for the game-winning 75yard touchdown, giving the Dons a 12-7 victory and their third straight victory this spring. Coach Dave Scurlock responded by saying, “We called our infamous 3-3 Wide side Charlie blitz where Gonzalez comes up from his safety position and basically took the handoff from the running back. Once Gonzalez has the ball, there is no stopping that kid.” Scurlock then went on to say, “Our defense was outstanding, a true team effort.” The Dons defense was led by Edin Gonzalez #32, Ian Hicks #77, Alexander Howell #40, Ryan Kan# 7, Demir Khawaja # 4, Rex Mitchell # 8, Bryce Scurlock # 1, Daniel Shirfon #15, and Donovan Young # 5. The Carmel Valley Dons Youth Football program was formed in 2010 to create a competitive Division 1 Football program serving the Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, and Solana Beach communities. The leagues home stadium is Cathedral High School and the CV Dons proudly wear their colors, and they are greatly supported by Varsity Head Coach Sean Doyle.

San Diego Mustangs Under 19 Rugby Team advances to championship final The San Diego Mustangs Under 16 and Under 19 Rugby Teams continued their Southern California Championship quest, with semi-final playoff matches held on Saturday. The Mustangs U16 took on a powerful South Bay side with the U19 team up against inter-league rival San Clemente Gators. In the U16 match the Mustangs battled hard against a large and physical South Bay team. Both teams pressed the goal-line throughout the game and the Mustangs clung to a 3-0 lead late San Diego Mustangs under 19 lock Michael Tillin the second half. An opportuson soars high in a lineout to secure the ball in the nistic South Bay turnover ball saw match against the San Clemente Gators held at Little their nifty fullback scamper 60 yards to score a try and go ahead Q on Saturday. 5-3. With a full sail of confidence, South Bay roared back to score another unconverted try making the scoreline 10-3. In an impressive and dynamic last surge, the Mustangs continually attacked South Bay’s goal-line and came close to scoring a potential equalizing try. However, South Bay eventually proved too strong, holding the Mustangs out and now advances to the final. The U19 game started with Gators choosing to use the wind at their back and with successful penalty kicks took an early lead 6-to-0. The Mustangs, led by Captain Brent Sander fought back with a try following a multi-phased attack to retake the lead 7-6, following the successful conversion by David Lederer. Play continued with both sides trading tries and at half time the Mustangs led by just a point, 19-to-18. In the second half, minor adjustments in the game plane by the Mustangs worked to perfection and confidence built quickly as the Mustangs took every opportunity and cashed them in, scoring 34-points in the second half. The Gators scored one more time for a final score of Mustangs 53, San Clemente 23. The San Diego Mustangs U19’s now take on Back Bay Rugby Club in the Southern California Championship final this Saturday at Cal-State Fullerton’s stadium at 4 p.m.

Don’t let DM decline because of fear of the unknown Several residents have expressed concern about the Specific Plan’s proposed 26’ height limit on the west side of Camino Del Mar. We all need to start visualizing what this change will and will not look like. Many of you may not be aware that a number of our existing buildings are already over that limit and, surprisingly, are some of our most appealing buildings. Stratford Square (at 42’ well over the proposed height), Bill Davidson’s gas station property at the corner of 13th St and Camino del Mar (24’) and Cafe Secret, (26’) are all examples. Retaining the existing height limit, on the other hand, will continue to result in short square boxes that lack architectural appeal (see examples at right). Having two story buildings on both sides of the street won’t create a wind tunnel effect nor a shaded walking experience! The
street, with a total of 100’ span from edge to edge, has ample width for this building height to be proportion-
Build One Paseo, but mitigate the traffic Five years ago I moved to Del Mar from the San Jose area. When I lived there, I saw a single story “adobe architecture” shopping center turned into a beautiful multi-use area called Santana Row. It is basically the same sort of planned use area as is being proposed for One Paseo. It is a wonderful place to spend the day. Great shopping in upscale stores; a park setting; outdoor cafés; theater. The upper levels are populated by a hotel and condos. Why did it work? The main reason was access. Santana Row sits at the intersection of two major streets: Stevens Creek with east/west access and Winchester Blvd. with north/ south access. There was also the intersection of two major freeways 280 and 880 within blocks. The surface streets both had major bus lines running all day while the closeness of the freeways got traffic moving into and out of the area quickly. What is the problem with One Paseo? In a word, access. There are no freeways (reasonably) nearby. There are no bus lines supporting the location. Basically traffic will be at a standstill during commute
times and school let-out times All the traffic will be directed to one intersection. One Paseo’s solution of coordinated lights does nothing to modify traffic volume; just traffic flow. And we all know from the traffic in the Golden Triangle at 5 p.m. that lights do not help. The developers MUST be forced to mitigate the traffic volume. I have a suggestion that will greatly improve access and lower traffic. One Paseo should supply a bus line for its patrons. It should run every 30 minutes and run a loop from the train station in Solana Beach to the Fairgrounds (parking, parking, parking) to One Paseo. Return would be directly down Del Mar Heights to Camino Del Mar and north back to the train station. This allows folks to take the Coaster or Breeze and leave their cars at home. It also supplies reasonable priced transportation for the support staff to get to work without filling up the parking garages. I want to see One Paseo built. I want to enjoy the ambiance of a well-planned community that makes good use of land, but also supports a mitigated traffic solution. Gerry A. Brown
ate. Please take a look at your favorite communities and you will note that their
building heights are greater than single story. In addition, limiting the building height to 14’ will impact our objective of stimulating investment in our downtown. Property owners won’t improve their properties because, very simply, they will have no economic incentive to do so. It will be impossible to achieve the size (FAR) needed for investment to make sense with a single story. We will have spent a great deal of time and money on a plan that will change nothing. As we identify concerns about the Specific Plan, let’s consider the status quo. Our downtown is decaying, particularly on the southern end of town, while increasing competition from neighboring communities is drawing away business from our downtown. The resulting declining sales and property tax revenues impact the services the city is
able to provide, and ultimately has the potential to threaten the city’s viability. Equally important, we all benefit from a downtown that is a thriving place to eat, shop and play. As you are reading this, we don’t have walkable sidewalks downtown, our traffic flow doesn’t work, our City Hall is an embarrassment and we haven’t yet been able to implement our 15-year-old Streetscape Plan. Only through changing our existing regulations in a meaningful way can we encourage investment in our community. Let’s not watch Del Mar continue its inexorable decline because of our fear of the unknown! The outdoor patios are a great example of our taking a chance and having a wonderful outcome. Please support the Specific Plan so we can truly make our downtown our “living room.” Linda Rock
If you love LA, One Paseo is for you Thank you for your continuing coverage of the mini-city an LA developer plans to drop down in our midst. While I found the various square footage information in your April 26 article daunting, I had a hard time visualizing just how big “557,440 square feet of commercial office” space is. However, the “total of 4,809 parking spaces” is more manageable, so I called three similar operations in San Diego to see how One Paseo stacks up: Fashion Valley reports 7.400 - 7,600 parking spaces; Del Mar Highlands Town Center about 1,500; and UTC about 1,400. It would appear One Paseo is running a strong second. However, when you combine its parking availability with Del Mar Highlands across the street, we get about 6,300 places to park cars. Now, assuming that developers are not in the business of wasting space, there are likely some precise surveys extant which produced the 4,809
number. I think it’s fair to assume all of us at one time or another have had some waits getting in and out of Del Mar Highlands Town Center and crawling along in that traffic, particularly on Del Mar Heights Road. How’s an increase of over 3,000 cars strike you? (4,809 minus 1,500). Hey! They do it in LA all the time and manage to get by; like the character in “Apocalypse Now,” who said, “I love the smell of napalm in the morning,” perhaps there are those who can’t wait for that first sniff of tangy smog, the first blast of an impatient horn, the endearing one-finger salute. Maybe we’ll have a chance to experience that down here, right in our own neighborhood. One Paseo: if you love the traffic, the hassle and the smog in LA, One Paseo is the mini-city for you! Of course, one could always fight it. Walter Carlin Del Mar
Open letter to Bilbray: Debate John Stahl Congressman Bilbray, I have lived in your district for more than 11 years. I have voted for you in each election. Now you have a serous and qualified conservative opponent, John Stahl. You have an obligation to me, all those who have voted for you in the past, conservatives in general, Republicans, independents and anyone who we may classify as an old Reagan Democrat to debate John Stahl. He is a very serious candidate with impeccable conservative credentials. As a Naval aviator and with a long history in the private sector, he brings a great deal to the table that you do not. Show courage and self-confidence by demonstrating a sense of fair play and face
this highly qualified opponent at a venue that allows the public to evaluate both of you. There are numerous venues that would host this debate. The primary is just around the corner. Time is short. The only way you will have a chance to get my vote is if you man up and debate Mr. Stahl. I know it is a risk you can avoid. I am sure Mr. Stahl would make himself available to fit your schedule. Show the voters that you are not afraid to debate another conservative. Pit your record against his non-governmental experience in a forum open to the public. Mike Hayutin

Rotary Corner
Candidate has facts wrong, voters deserve better
Spirit of Del Mar spreads to corners of the Earth through Rotarian service
Recently, this newspaper printed a commentary authored by supervisorial candidate Steve Danon that contained factually inaccurate information which I feel needs to be corrected. Danon stated that San Diego County’s Department of Planning and Land Use (DPLU) has the same number of employees today as it did in Fiscal Year 2002/03. However, as often seems to be the case, he has his facts wrong. As a result, a county memo on the issue was distributed by the Deputy Director of DPLU to set the record straight. According to the Deputy Director of the very department that Danon spoke of, the staffing numbers in DPLU Fiscal Year 2002/03 was 215 budgeted positions. This year, in Fiscal Year 2011/12 there are only 164 budgeted positions. This
represents a 24 percent decrease in staffing. In fact, in FY 2006/07 DPLU had 238 budgeted positions. Compared to this year, that represents a 31 percent decrease. The memo, a matter of public record, went on to say that, “as the housing and construction industries have been hard hit, DPLU has reduced staffing levels in land development services. However, there are several other programs in DPLU where the customer need has remained. We have many Advanced Planning projects, including General Plan Update, Wind and Solar Ordinance Updates, Equine Ordinance Updates, and Zoning Updates that have been completed or are underway. Similarly, Code Enforcement continues to serve the public, responding to over 1,000 complaints
each year, while keeping communities safe.” Weeks ago at a debate, Danon said the county must create a Regional Fire Authority to improve fire protection. However, the county already has a Regional Fire Authority, and it was certified by LAFCO. You might wonder why correcting this misinformation matters? The reason is that Danon’s continual mistakes and misrepresentations of the facts are piling up and he gives voters half truths and outright fabrications to prove a point that he has “borrowed” from a political playbook hoping that no one will challenge him. I first challenged an inaccuracy by Danon when he said multiple times that it took a biotech company five -seven years to get a county permit. I challenged him to
prove that this story was true after checking with both the City and County of San Diego. It was not true and he has stopped telling that story. Since Danon has spent over 90 percent of his adult professional life working as a political insider or lobbyist for both the county and federal governments, he should know better than to spread misinformation. It didn’t work the last time he ran for office and was overwhelmingly defeated, and it won’t work this time. As one voter recently told me after a debate in Escondido, “Danon is a consummate political party insider and the voters deserve better.” Dave Roberts, Candidate for Third District County Supervisor
Kilroy should build its island somewhere else I think One Paseo will be wonderful for the people who live and work there or just work there, but horrible for the rest of us who live in Carmel Valley. Here’s why. The people who live and work there won’t have to leave it. They’ll have parking spaces and places to live, work, shop, eat, relax, and be entertained. And they can walk everywhere in it. The same goes for people who stay at the hotel and visit residents or offices there. People who just work there will have parking spaces, places to eat and shop, and few traffic problems – they will be going against the heavy rush hour traffic out of Carmel Valley in the morning and into it in the evening. It will be like an island paradise for them. What about the rest of us in Carmel Valley? First, why would anyone go there during the day when there are other places to eat and shop without driving on narrow congested streets, parking is a gated multi-level structure, and fighting crowds of office workers and residents? It would be better if we could walk there but only a few people live close enough to do that, and they might not want to cross
Del Mar Heights Rd. or El Camino Real to get there. (At present no pedestrian bridges are planned. And long lights for pedestrian crossings will cause the traffic to move even slower.) One Paseo will be less crowed in the evenings and on weekends, but driving and parking will still be problematic compared to the other shopping centers and parks with open parking lots. Lack of community interest and support will make it even more like an island. I haven’t mentioned traffic yet. It’s bad on Del Mar Heights Rd. going west to I-5 in the morning, in the afternoon when the high schools let out, and during the Del Mar fair and racing season. It will only be worse when people from One Paseo enter the stream. Synchronized lights east of it won’t make any difference. The lights at I-5 will just back up more cars. Let Kilroy build its island somewhere else where fewer people will be affected. Ted Parker A 20-year Carmel Valley resident
Scott Tillson Memorial fund donation provides AED to DM Highlands Town Center The Del Mar Highlands Town Center is the proud new home of an automated external defibrillator (AED) made possible through funds honoring longtime Carmel Valley resident and local volunteer Scott Tillson, who passed away in May 2011. The defibrillator is one of four AEDs donated by the Scott Tillson Memorial Fund to the San Diego Fire Rescue Foundation. “The Del Mar Highlands Town Center is honored to be included in Scott Tillson’s ongoing legacy,” said Elizabeth Schreiber, vice president and general manager of the Del Mar Highlands Town Center. “The community will greatly benefit from this new AED that may one day save a life.” At the November Carmel Valley Community Planning Board meeting, Scott’s wife, Pat Tillson, announced the donation of the AEDs, two carbon monoxide detectors and eight hands free collar microphones to be placed in fire stations that serve the Carmel Valley area. Firefighters from Carmel Valley’s Fire Station #24, the first responder on the scene when Tillson suffered a heart attack, demonstrated how to use an AED. At the Del Mar Highlands Town Center, the AED is centrally located in the security
office and available for use by the center’s first responders should a crisis arise. Two AEDs also have been placed at the Carmel Valley Library and the San Diego Unified School District administrative office. The location of the fourth AED will be identified by San Diego Project Heart Beat, a program of the City of San Diego’s Emergency Medical Services system that makes AEDs accessible throughout the community. “The Del Mar Highlands Town Center is an excellent location for one of the AEDs donated by the Scott Tillson Memorial Fund,” said Wendy Robinson, executive director of the San Diego Fire Rescue Foundation. “It’s only natural that one of the defibrillators be located in the heart of the community so dear to Scott and his family.” Scott Tillson was a member of the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board and instrumental in the passage of Proposition C in November 2010, which provided for the phased completion of the planned and approved pedestrian and transit-oriented community of Pacific Highlands Ranch to include open space, pedestrian, bicycle and equestrian trails, parks, schools, shopping and commercial areas at no cost to taxpayers.

BY EMILY FIGUEIREDO, PUBLICITY CHAIR FOR THE DEL MAR ROTARY CLUB With a stunning coastline, amazing shops and restaurants, unbeatable weather and a wonderful sense of community, why would anyone ever want to travel away from Del Mar? For the members of the Rotary Club of Del Mar, the answer is simple: to serve others. While worn-torn countries and impoverished communities might not be an ideal vacation spot, these are the sites of opportunities to change lives in ways that we take for granted in San Diego County. They can also be home to open hearts and eager spirits welcoming us into their houses and way of life. Del Mar Rotarian and Past Club President Dr. Janice Kurth is currently on a Rotary Group Study Exchange Trip to Kenya to serve various villages through healthcare, environmental needs and education. Janice first traveled to Kenya in 2010 with five other medical professionals from San Diego and together the team made over 30 cultural and site visits, attended social events, presented to 10 Rotary Clubs and stayed at local Rotarian’s homes while traveling to each village throughout the country. Philippe Lamoise presented to his fellow Del Mar Rotarians about his continued work in Africa, as well. He is working with the Rotary Adopt-a-Village program to extend long-term support to Nkondo, Uganda in the forms of disease prevention and treatment, water and sanitation, maternal and child health, basic education, literacy and economic and community development. On his most recent trip to Nkondo (one of 12 visits he has made to Africa) Philippe’s team was able to save the life of a young girl by offering $1.50 worth of medication and treatment for a fungal infection on her arm. Peggy Martin is another Del Mar Rotarian that has recently put her stamp across the globe, and did so quite literally. Along with Rotarians from the La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary Club and the La Mesa Noon Rotary Club, Peggy has worked with the development and construction of a sanitation system for the Sankalp School in India. She visited the project which has been constructed and a plaque shines with the individual advocates’ names and the Rotary Club of Del Mar. The club contributed $1,000 toward the total $4,000 needed to make this project a reality, and the girls are now able to have running water and proper hygiene. This means they can stay in school past the 6th grade and into high school to receive the education they need to become independent and successful. Other members of our club that have served abroad and extended the Del Mar Rotary Family recently include Dr. Ed Siegal, Kim Guevarra-Harris, Roger Kingston and Larry King, who have visited Djibouti and Zanzibar, Afghanistan, Kenya and Mexico respectively. Please join our local and international efforts to put “Service Above Self” by visiting us for a meeting. We meet each Thursday at noon at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Del Mar.

The Falcons Mila tournament team (back row, left to right): Gia Silahian, Kate Betts, Gabriela Enriquez, Dani Jackel, Hana Chitgari, Meaghan Donnelly and Coach Gina Nawab; (front row left to right): Farah Farjood, Gabi Jimenez, Shannon Yogerst and Sabrina.
Falcons win Mila Field Hockey Tourney Carmel Valley’s Falcons middle school field hockey team went undefeated at the “Play for Mila” tournament in Fallbrook recently, winning all five of their games and taking home the gold medal in the Under 14 division. Coached by new Torrey Pines varsity head coach Gina Nawab, the Falcons comprised nine girls from Carmel Valley Middle School and one from Oak Valley Middle School in 4S Ranch. The Mila tourney is also brand new, a charity event dedicated to youth suicide prevention and named after a former Fallbrook High School field hockey player who took her own life last year. The Falcons kicked off the day with a 1-0 win over a tough Madison Middle School from Vista. Defensive ace Farah Farjood put the Falcons up early with a rocket shot from the top of the circle, and even though the Carmel Valley girls dominated possession that would
be the game’s only goal. But they found their scoring touch in the next game, a 6-0 romp over a mixed team from several Vista middle schools including north county league champs Rancho Minerva. Forwards Shannon Yogerst and Gia Silahian scored twice each for the Falcons, with Farjood and Dani Jackel notching single goals. Five different Falcons scored in their third game – an 8-0 win over Poway Mystix – including Yogerst (3 goals), Silahian (2 goals) and Gabi Jimenez, Meaghan Donnelly and Kate Betts one each. That set up a gold medal showdown with Fallbrook’s Potter Middle School, the only other undefeated team left in the middle school bracket at that point. But once again it was no contest. Playing their best hockey of the day, the Falcons raced to a quick 2-0 lead while the defense – lead by first-time goalkeeper Gabriela Enriquez – turned back several Potter scoring drives. In the midfield, Jimenez shut down Potter’s leading scorer. The final score was a resounding 5-1, with Yogerst knocking in four goals and Betts another.

With first place already secured, the Falcons defeated the Vista Academy of Performing Arts Flash 5-0 on a hattrick by Jimenez and single goals by Yogerst and Silahian. Through five games, the Falcons scored 25 goals and allowed just one. Yogerst lead all scorers with 10 goals, followed by Silahian with five and Jimenez with four. The huge goal difference is even more impressive when you consider the Falcons played three of the five games without a goalie. Kudos to defenders Farjood, Enriquez and Hana Chitgari for completely stifling the opposing attack throughout the day.

Reconstructed TPHS Patch obstacle course celebrated BY KAREN BILLING Thanks to a $25,000 grant from the Carmel Valley-based Egoscue Foundation, Torrey Pines High School has an upgraded Patch obstacle course on campus. A ribbon cutting and demonstration by Torrey Pines cheerleaders and football players was held April 30. “We’re really excited to keep the Patch legacy alive at Torrey Pines,” said Jill Huerta, the Egoscue Foundation’s director. Pete Egoscue, founder of The Egoscue Method, built the Patch obstacle course 12 years ago at Torrey Pines High for the purpose of physical training. He was inspired by those used by the United States Military. It has helped with the careers of former Charger Junior Seau, NFL player and TPHS alumni John Lynch, former Padres Trevor Hoffman, Dave Roberts and Mike Sweeney. Last year the New York Giants’ Justin Tuck even stopped by for a workout, to the delight of the surprised Falcon football team members. “Over the years, we really loved having the Patch but it had fallen into a little bit of disrepair,” said TPHS Principal Brett Killeen. Killeen said the school didn’t have “a lot of cash laying around” to fix the course so they were very happy when Egoscue stepped up with the funding. The Egoscue team worked on the course over the weekend and students on Monday were put through a series of challenging exercises to break it in. For more information, visit www.egoscuefoundation.org

DENTAL X-RAYS - ARE THEY REALLY SAFE? STUDY REVEALS SOME “FAULTY CONCLUSIONS” In recent news, the topic of dental x-rays have risen to the top. A study published online earlier in April associating dental radiographs with brain tumors stirred media attention and questions from experts on the study’s methodology. The Yale University School of Medicine neurologist who authored the article, concluded from a study that “exposure to some dental X-rays performed in the past, when radiation exposure was greater than in the current era, appears to be associated with an increased risk of intracranial meningioma.” Many TV shows, newspapers, and other media outlets covered this story which has created many questions and concerns about dental x-rays. Are they safe? Are they necessary? Are we jeopardizing our medical health with dental x-rays? With the patients in my dental practice, my team and I have expressed our own concerns along with the benefits of having x-rays. We also point out that the advancement in new x-ray devices, like the digital
$50
x-ray sensor which allows for 60% less radiation than conventional dental x-rays, minimizes health risks greatly. The number one concern I have for the article which many of my dental colleagues agree with is that the study itself was flawed with inconsistencies in their data collection and the study’s use of patient’s memory recall of their lifetime details of dental care. According to the study report, “Participants were asked to report the number of times they had received bitewing, full-mouth, or panoramic films” during four stages in life: before 10, between ages 10-19, between ages 20 and 49, and up to age 50. Most people, even patients of mine who I asked the same question as the study, couldn’t recall with confidence the exact information as recalled for the study. That is why even the study itself had faulty conclusions that came out with results that were “radiobiologically impossible” as one expert sited. The bottom line is that if your dentist is current

with the latest in dental technology, and the dental office is following the safe guidelines that the American Dental Association recommends for prescribing dental radiographs, then you are receiving very low amounts of radiation exposure which are comparable to less than the same exposure which we normally would receive from flying in an jet airplane, or walking about outside in the sun.

‘Survivor of the Year’ ready for new role Lili Myers takes over as bicultural spokesperson for Race for the Cure BY KATHY DAY Lili Halmos-Myers learned the hard way what cancer’s all about. Now, the local resident, who was diagnosed in 2005 – a year after doctors told her not to worry about the pingpong-ball-sized lump she had – was recently named “Survivor of the Year” by Susan G. Komen for the Cure San Diego. The organization also appointed her as the bicultural spokesperson for its Race for the Cure, which is set for Nov 4. In 2004, she said, “I heard Lili and Michael D. Myers exactly what I wanted to hear Photo/Jon Clark – ‘Don’t worry’ – and I accepted that.” But when she went back for her annual exam at Santa Monica’s Breast Center, the lump was the size of a tennis ball and she was diagnosed with triple negative breast cancer – a very aggressive form of the disease. Ten days later she had it removed, but when she went home after surgery she had a staph infection. Then it was on to chemotherapy. Now, getting ready for her seventh Komen 3-Day walk and running the Race for the Cure for the first time a year ago, she’s in the forefront of Komen’s efforts to reach out to Hispanic women. Some have asked why she’s doing it, noting that she “doesn’t look like a foreigner,” she said. Fluent in Spanish, as is her husband Michael D. Myers, she says she is not just bilingual, but is “truly bicultural.” Her parents left Hungary in 1947-48 and “via very different routes, ended up in South America,” Myers said. They met in Chile, which is where she was born. “My parents spoke Hungarian, I grew up in a Spanish environment and was sent to a private French school,” she recalled, adding that she perfected her English after moving to the U.S. Her husband was born and raised in Cleveland, but he traveled a lot, and he, too, is fluent in French, was fluent in Japanese and went to law school in Mexico. He is also fluent in Spanish. “When we met, it was not just the languages we had in common,” she said. “I told him, ‘You understand my music, my foods, my way of being.” Now that he is semi-retired and their children – Monique, who will be 26 in May and is a law student at the University of San Diego and living at home, and Alexander, 23, who is working for a local startup company – are making their way in the world, Myers said she has more time to foSee SURVIVOR, page B20

BY KATHY DAY Thanks to Torrey Pines High School alum Lance Holmquist and his wife, Suzanne, The African Queen is cruising the waters of Key Largo again. The riverboat that gained fame in the 1951 Humphrey Bogart-Katherine Hepburn movie by the same name had fallen into disrepair, drawing sad glances from tourists and locals around the area. Holmquist, a sort of legend in his own right among those who know boating in the Florida Keys, said he never thought he would be “spearheading a journey like this” that involved about $70,000 and several months of welding the hull and refinishing the black African mahogany to get the African Queen up and running again. He even added a steam engine for effect, and faux distressing on her newly painted hull so the boat looked the way it did in the movie. His mother Joan Holmquist, who still lives in Rancho Santa Fe with her husband Herb, said the boat was a mess when Lance started the restoration — one of many he’s done over the years that have led him to a successful business as owner of Calypso Watersports and Charters. The Holmquists moved to San Diego in 1971 when Lance was 11; their fourth child Kristen, who now lives in Miami was born three weeks after the move, joining the brood that included two older sisters Cynthia and Kim. Kristen and Mom and Dad all turned out for the launch party – just another party in the continuing party that Lance and his mom say his life is. They talk fondly of each other. He says “she’s a hoot — she has a great laugh.” She says “He didn’t let anything get him down. He’s got great character and, since he was 2, he always got the girl.” His mom recalls the days when Lance and friends James McDonald, David Cantwell and Wayne Winke tore up the hills on their minibikes and when he rode horses with Theresa Baker. But he left San Diego after graduating from Torrey Pines High School, heading for Hawaii on his own after a friend bailed on the trip at the last minute. Following some adventures – and some misadventures — there and despite his parents pleas to come home, he stayed for a while. Then it was off to Australia where he surfed, tended bar, got a divemaster’s license and skipper’s license, and took up sailing and running charters as he does

Italian dishes from the sea are the specialty at Dorado’s Voce Del Mare BY KELLEY CARLSON ining at Dorado’s Voce Del Mare in Bird Rock is akin to a culinary experience in the south of Italy. In other words: Don’t expect to be in and out in an hour. “We want the experience to be drawn out, just like the Italian culture,” owner Dan Dorado said. “It’s not unusual to have customers stay three, four or even five hours, he explained. It’s all about enjoying the food, the entertainment, the atmosphere. Upon arrival, guests can sit in a huge cushioned chair or perch on a barstool in the lounge and wait for a table. If it appears that it could be a while, they can kick back with a glass of wine — red and whites primarily from Italy and California are available. To help pass the time, patrons can watch ESPN or CNN programming on the TV behind the small bar. For live entertainment, come in between 6 and 9 p.m. Thursday through Saturday, as Freddie A. sings and plays contemporary jazz standards on the piano in the VIP area. For those who would rather not wait a while for a table, the full menu is also offered in the lounge. Dorado said that he welcomes patrons who aren’t necessarily ordering a dish. “Come in, have a glass of wine, stay all night,” he added.

Menu Recipe
Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net. Just click ‘Get The Recipe’ at the bottom of the story. This week:
■ Dorado’s Voce Del Mare’s
Spada Alla Sorrentina
Spada Alla Sorrentina features swordfish, capers, lemon, parsley and seasonings.
The restaurant’s tables are located in three areas: the main dining room, VIP section and patio. The main dining room and VIP areas (separated by a low wall) are decorated with artwork depicting Italian scenery, and wall accents consisting of small leaves and vines. There are also old photographs of Dorado’s father, David, and his band. Candles flicker in wooden holders along the walls and atop the red and white tablecloths. On the pet-friendly patio, guests can observe the bustle along Bird Rock’s main thoroughfare. Voce Del Mare is Italian for “Voice of the Sea,” and the name is fitting in more ways than one. The restaurant is a short distance from the ocean, and much of its classical
Italian cuisine incorporates seafood and pasta. Dorado noted that fresh fish arrives six days a week, and chef Giovanni Novella cuts each one by hand. Dorado suggested guests keep their meals simple when ordering. Portions are large, and there is no extra charge to share a plate. Begin with an antipasti, such as the Caprese, consisting of mozzarella, tomatoes and basil. Next, select a pasta such as the Casareccia al Bacio, which is casareccia pasta served with shrimp and walnuts in a pink sauce; or the Paccheri Voce del Mare with scampi, eggplant, zucchini and Sorrento tomatoes. There are nearly a dozen choices for the Secondi Piatti course, including the Cioppino Torrese, which is sizable enough
for at least two people to share. It combines king crab, shrimp, scallops, calamari, mussels, clams and the fish of the day in a tomato base. Another option is the Branzino Grilled, which is grilled Mediterranean Sea bass with a mixed salad in a lemon dressing. Finally, cap off the meal with a dessert, whether it’s Tiramisu or Ricotta e Pera (ricotta and pear). Novella, who hails from Naples, creates each dish individually, and is therefore capable of honoring special requests, including those from kids, as there is no set children’s menu. However, Voce Del Mare does not make pizza, Dorado said. Five specials are offered daily aside from the menu. In addition, there is free wine and dessert with the purchase of an entree between 5 and 6 p.m. Sundays, and selected bottles of Italian wine are half price from 5 to 10 p.m. Wednesdays and Sundays. Because Voce Del Mare guests often stay for a while, reservations are recommended, especially on Friday and Saturday nights, Dorado said. Free parking is available after 5 p.m. daily at the lot next to the Avalon building across the street. Starting May 26, the restaurant will be open for lunch from noon to 3 p.m. Saturdays and Sundays.

Harry Potter’s world of wizardry inspires exhibit coming to Geisel Library FROM UCSD REPORTS Although perceived as sheer fantasy by many, the magic depicted in the Harry Potter novels by author J.K. Rowling can be traced to Renaissance traditions that played a pivotal role in the development of modern science and medicine. The UC San Diego Libraries have been selected by the U.S. National Library of Medicine to host “Harry Potter’s World: Renaissance Science, Magic, and Medicine,” a traveling exhibit that sheds light on the Renaissance traditions featured in the Harry Potter canon. The “show” runs May 6 through June 16 at Geisel Library. Making its second appearance in California, the exhibit includes materials from the National Library of Medicine’s collections — including six illustrated banners describing the practices (alchemy, herbology, astrology and natural philosophy) depicted in the world of wizardry created by Rowling. The exhibit will be accompanied by a series of lectures by UCSD faculty members. • An opening reception will take place from 3 to 5 p.m. Thursday, May 10 in the Seuss Room in

Professor Snape’s Potions Lab Geisel Library with Potterthemed refreshments and entertainment. It will be followed by a 4 p.m. talk titled, “Harry Potter and the Magic of Books,” by Seth Lerer, dean of Arts & Humanities at UCSD. • On May 17, from noon to 1 p.m. in the Biomedical Library Events Room, Pathology Professor Dr. Henry Powell will trace the development of medicine. His talk is titled, “From Beliefs and Spells to the Scientific Method: A Long, Slow Journey for the Art of Medicine.” Powell is a world authority on experimental neuropathology, and a former chair of the UCSD Academic Senate.
• On May 24, from noon to 1 p.m. in the Seuss Room, Literature Professor Stephen Potts will give a talk on “Harry Potter and the Secrets of Order: Knowledge and Power from Renaissance to Hogwarts.” Potts, who teaches classes on Harry Potter, young adult fiction, and children’s literature, will discuss the influence of the magical tradition on the scientific revolution and the ethical issues that surfaced, as knowledge became a real power for change. • On May 31, from 3 to 4 p.m. in the Science & Engineering Library Events Room in the Geisel Li-

It’s reality TV vs. romantic comedy in Globe’s ‘Nobody Loves You’ BY DIANA SAENGER Michelle Tattenbaum, director of The Old Globe’s “Nobody Loves You” is in full swing readying the musical comedy for its world premiere May 9. “It’s kind of like an oldfashioned musical — there’s comedy and romance; but it’s extremely fun and with wonderful music,” she said. Music and lyrics are by Gaby Alter, with book and lyrics by Itamar Moses. The pop song-filled plot is about a philosophy grad student (Adam Kantor, “Rent,” “Next To Normal”) who goes to extremes to win back his ex on a dating show … but then along comes Jenny (Jenni Barber, “Some Lovers”). Tattenbaum (“Love/Stories,” “The Four of Us,” “Firefly”) said she was working with Moses a few years back on another show when they saw that peoples’ obsession with reality TV was starting to build. “We both had a lot to say about trying to live your life today and find a connection with other people, which is what this show is about,” she said. Moses is author of the plays “Outrage,” “Bach at Leipzig,” “Celebrity Row,” “The Four of Us,” “Yellowjackets,” “Back, Back, Back” and more. He’s written for TNT’s “Men of a Certain Age,” and HBO’s “Boardwalk Empire.” He is a former Globe Playwright-in-Residence. Tattenbaum said she enjoys everything about Moses’ creative energy. “He’s smart, funny, and has a mix of serious ideas and themes, which combined, make lots of laughs,” she said. “I get his sense of humor, he cracks me up, and I get where his characters are at and what they are struggling with. With Moses’ writing, I have an immediate access point into the characters.” “Nobody Loves You” explores who one is in relation to other people and the challenges that people face through the ages, “and now all of our electronic connections – we talk on the phone but rarely get together in person,” Tattenbaum said. Along with her passion for the story, Tattenbaum said she is also excited about the music and lyrics by Alter (“Young Zombies in Love”), music direction by Vadim Feichtner (Broadway’s “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling
Bee”) and choreography by Mandy IF YOU GO: Moore (Emmy What: “Nobody Loves You” Award-nominated When: Matinees, evenings May director, choreogra9-June 17 pher and dancer Where: Sheryl and Harvey White known for her work Theatre, on “So You Think 1363 Old Globe Way, Balboa Park You Can Dance,” Tickets: From $29 “American Idol,” Box Office: (619) 234-5623 and “Dancing with Web: TheOldGlobe.org the Stars.” “‘They are all incredible,” Tattenbaum said. “I think we assembled a great team who gets what this project is about – which is finding love. We have a shared sensibility. I’ll suggest something to Mandy and she does it 10 times better than I imagined. She totally gets the humor of the show and figures out dance moves that are exactly the right style. Vadim is an extraordinary musician with a writing background, so he’s able to approach the storytelling and not just how the music should go.”
ACT San Diego to hold dance workshop; auditions for ‘Footloose’ Filled with tuneful pop songs, ‘Nobody Loves You’ takes audiences on a behind-the-scenes ride through reality television and into real life to ask the question: In a world where every kiss is staged for the cameras, can two people find a real connection? The cast includes Kelsey Kurz, Nicole Lewis, Kate Morgan Chadwick, Heath Calvert, Jenni Barber, Adam Kantor (and on floor, from left) Alex Brightman and Lauren Molina. Henry DiRocco.

Band together: Solana Beach kids to hold youth rock concert benefit BY HALLIE SHANNON Solana Beach students will hold a youth rock concert and benefit on Friday, May 11. Four youth bands will come together to perform at this extraordinary event. Bands including Last Minute, Dropping the Slushy, The Indecisives, and The Styrotones will rock-out to raise money for Surfaid International, a nonprofit organization that helps people with malaria prevention, health education, clean water projects, and emergency preparedness in remote villages of Indonesia. “Since our band formed a year ago, we have not had many opportunities to perform. I thought it would be great to create a venue for local youth bands, and help others at the same time,” said Natasha Rosenthal, 12, the event organizer. Local sponsors have donated items from a Firewire surfboard to Belly Up tickets, all being raffled off at the event. Come support this great event on Friday, May 11, at the Skyline Elementary Activity Center, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $7 for adults and $5 for children.

Talking about facing cancer and what follows, she cited Lance Armstrongâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s LiveStrong Manifesto: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cancer may leave your body, but it never leaves your life.â&#x20AC;? One night after her surgery, she said, she and her husband were reflecting on their situation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s when the reality hits,â&#x20AC;? she noted. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re very blessed. He and I have worked very hard; we have the best doctors, the best insurance, the best medication.â&#x20AC;? As they talked, she said, they wondered what was happening to others in San

What if they canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take time off from work for treatments?â&#x20AC;? Hispanic women, in particular, she noted, face very high mortality rates from breast cancer, although not necessarily more breast cancer than other groups. Many are diagnosed later, she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of it is cultural; some of it is education about breast cancer.â&#x20AC;? Because she is comfortable in both cultures, she said, she feels she can bring a special touch to her role as spokeswoman for the Race for the Cure, Myers said. She will be helping to raise money and to advocate on behalf of women, as well as working with the media and at events like the recent National City health fair. There, Komen offered free mammograms and pap smears to women over 40 who hadnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t had one in the past year or those under 40 with a family history of can-

cer. Myers said she especially likes the fact that 75 percent of the money raised during Susan G. Komen San Diego events stays in the county and it is the only organization that provides free services for women at every step of the cancer journey, from mammograms to meal delivery. The remaining 25 percent goes to research into causes and cures for the disease. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A lot of the new medications are funded or touched by Komen grants,â&#x20AC;? she added. Already, she has been interviewed by Televisa, and looks forward to doing more to get the word out about Susan G. Komenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Race for the Cure.

Kits make it easy to become a self-sustainable foodie The Kitchen Shrink
CATHARINE KAUFMAN These days, intrepid amateur farmers enjoy everything from freshly laid eggs from their backyard coops and freshly picked herbs, fruits and veggies from their eclectic waterconserving landscapes to homemade dairy products and vino. Now you can become a do-it-yourselfer in the kitchen and garden this spring, too, with these kits. Culture Vulture Yogurt aficionados can whip up batches of this probiotic digestive warrior at home from thick and creamy Balkan and Greek styles to low-fat and lactosefree versions. If your gut is
cow intolerant, you can swap it out for milk from water buffalo, goat, yak or sheep. There are many choices of commercial yoghurt makers or you can improvise — a 5-cup double boiler, candy thermometer, food-grade storage containers, and a method of incubation, like an ice chest, thermos, nest of cardboard boxes or even your oven will do the trick. Add your fruit, sweetening and desired flavorings, and rejoice! Domestic Cheese Handcrafting assorted artisan cheeses in your own home is becoming a cottage industry, swelling in popularity with newsletters, workshops, books, kits and products available through retail outlets and e-commerce. Cheese-making staples include cheese cultures and mold powders (kefir, flora danica, propionic and misophilic); cheese rennets (an enzyme which typically comes from the stomach of a young milk-fed calf, lamb or goat), and additives (citric acid, lipase, herbs, cheese salt and coloring). Now cheese buffs can freshly create mozzarella, ricotta, cottage, Monterey Jack, cheddar, goat, feta and
others controlling the fat, flavor, salt and purity of ingredients. Heard it Through the Grapevine Take a trip down memory lane back in the days of prohibition and bathtub gin distilling; now oenophiles can ferment grapes into their favorite organic wines. Do-ityourself kits produce a dozen bottles in one month. Cheers! A Head’s Up The Brooklyn Brew Shop lets you craft artisanal beer in your home with a kit that includes grains, hops, yeast and commercial brewing equipment. Choose from seven varieties such as Bourbon Dubbel and Chocolate-Maple Porter. The Bees Knees The art of home beekeeping is all a buzz especially in the midst of our black-and-yellow buddies shrinking in global population as much as 30 percent due to the mysterious colony collapse disorder. If we want to continue to enjoy their bounty of honey and the flowers, fruits, vegetables and nuts produced from their Herculean pollinating powers, we’d better become
their Galahads. On a sweet note, Williams-sonoma. com/agrarian is offering a beehive and starter kit, including a helmet with veil, gloves, smoker and tools. Soy Toys If you have a yen for edamame, now you can organically grow your own with a do-it-yourself kit from Japan. Apartment or condo dwellers need only a sunny windowsill, while homeowners can transfer the sprouted germ to their gardens as southern California climes provide an ideal growing environment. The kit includes seeds, a wicker basket and a growing medium, so all you need to dispense is water, warmth and some love. Fungus Factory Mushroom lovers with a penchant for sustainable gardening can produce a crop of assorted ‘shrooms on their kitchen counter. Oysters, shiitakes and others sprout a fresh batch every two months from a hardwood log and keep producing for up to three years.
