BY KAREN BILLING More than 300 people showed up to the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board meeting on May 24 as the board members discussed the draft environmental impact report (DEIR) for the One Paseo project. The meeting was held at Carmel Valley Middle School as a large crowd was anticipated and a large crowd it was, with people holding signs and sporting project opponent “Save Car-

mel Valley” stickers and project proponent “I Support Main Street” pins.

Comments on the DEIR were due May 29 and the board’s comments would include what the board contends are inaccuracies in the areas of the environmental setting, project description, land use, transportation/circulation/parking, community character and visual effect and the project alternatives.

“I hope that this process helps us understand the concerns about the project,” said Robert Little, Kilroy vice president of development.

DM school district faces possible deficit spending

Sunset Soiree

BY KAREN BILLING Del Mar Union School District is looking at the possibility of deficit spending by $4.6 million in 2012-13, district superintendent Jim Peabody reported at the May 23 meeting.

In the first reading of the preliminary budget, Peabody said they are projecting total revenues of $39,069,693, with total expenditures totaling $43.6 million.

“We have work to do, we un-

derstand that,” Peabody said.

Peabody admits that they have been conservative, as they have in years past. This year they are looking at a $2.6 million deficit, but they will have a better idea of where they will actually land in August. The district budgeted very conservatively on property tax having a 1 percent increase in property tax and Peabody said it looks like it

SB School District approves items related to seventh school, loan and spending ■ More championships for local teams.

Pages 20-22.

BY MARSHA SUTTON Several items on the May 17 agenda for the Solana Beach School District board meeting involved financial decisions regarding the district’s seventh school, a loan from the county, and discretionary spending of funds for categorical pro-

grams.

The first action item concerned an agreement signed June 28, 2011 between the district and Pardee Homes regarding School #7 in Pacific Highlands Ranch. Since then, the parties met and negotiated an amendment to the original

agreement, which involved the property purchase for the school and escrow instructions.

The May 17 action item authorized the SBSD superintendent or her designee to submit the First Amendment into escrow and proceed with closing escrow.

SBSD superintendent Nancy Lynch said escrow will not close on School #7 until after the San Diego City Council takes action on June 12 on an item to reduce the Pacific Highlands Ranch Public Facilities Financing Plan and Facilities Benefit Assessment. Escrow

will close 10 days after the mayor approves or vetoes the item.

“The final purchase price of the property is dependent on the action of the city council,” Lynch said

Solana Beach awards Highway 101 Solana Beach council asked to discuss construction contract, work to begin in July implementing local energy cooperative

BY CLAIRE HARLIN

BY CLAIRE HARLIN

EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET

EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET

After two and a half years of deliberation, and then a months-long bid process, the City of Solana Beach has awarded a $6 million contract to Dick Miller, Inc. for the Highway 101 West Side Improvement Project construction contract.

“This is a very exciting time,” said City Manager David Ott. “It’s something [the city] has worked very hard on and the community has waited a long time for, and it’s really going to change the face of the community.”

The city received nine bids for the project, which is estimated to last 15 months. Dick Miller, Inc. of San Marcos, the lowest bidder, has experience with public works projects in Coronado, Vista and Port of San Diego. City officials said they consulted with references from each of those areas.

A representative from Dick Miller said at the May 23 City Council meeting that the company takes advantage of minimal overhead and has 27 employees.

“I assure you I will give 100 percent attention to detail,” he said.

The company’s base bid was $5.9 million, but the city recommended a contingency of 11 percent, making the total estimated project cost to be $6.6 million. Bids ranged as high as $7.5 million.

Construction is expected to begin in early July.

A handful of community members approached the Solana Beach City Council on May 23 to ask that they consider the formation of a community-owned energy cooperative in Solana Beach.

This concept, also known as Community Choice Aggregate (CCA), has already been taken on by Marin County, and a group called the San Diego Energy District (SDED) Foundation

Del Mar school district goes to online lunch ordering Starting in the fall, parents in the Del Mar Union School District will be able to order their children’s lunches online. The board gave direction May 23 to go forward with implementing Choicelunch’s online system.

The Choicelunch web site can manage online ordering and even has a school lunch transactional iPhone app. Lunch orders may be placed by 9 a.m. and cancelled by 5 p.m. the previous school day. Under online ordering, the menu selection would expand to four hot entrees and 13 cold entrees with a choice of snack, fruit and drink.

The cost will increase to $5.25, but there will still be cold lunches for a lower price in the $4 range.

Currently, the district is averaging 789 meals a day and staff is confident that the new ordering system will boost sales even more. Parents were pre-paying this year and had to order a week in advance and many asked for online ordering options.

“I enjoy Choicelunch and am a regular customer,” said parent Lola Walker. “Online ordering will be very convenient for parents and increase participation. And online, children can see pictures of the food and they will get really excited about it.”

is hoping to follow suit with the creation of the SDED. Under the SDED, which would be a joint powers authority of the cities and county, San Diego Gas & Electric (SDG&E) would still own the lines, meter and transmission, but the district would offer alternative supplies of energy that’s more local and renewable, according to the foundation’s website. The district’s goal is to accelerate the purchase of renewable energy from lo-

cal, independent power producers.

Mayor Joe Kellejian said he has not heard of CCA, however, he is open to exploring the option.

Councilwoman Lesa Heebner said she and Deputy Mayor Dave Roberts, who make up the city’s Environmental Sustainability Committee, met recently with the SDED, and also present were representatives from SDG&E, Shell Oil and CCAs. See ENERGY, page 16

SBThe School District to offer Transitional Kindergarten hancement of appropriate social and emoSolana Beach School District will offer Transitional Kindergarten beginning in the 2012-13 school year. Currently, students are admitted to kindergarten if they will be age 5 on or before Dec. 2. State Education Code 48000[a] changes that admission requirement from Dec. 2 to Nov. 1 for the 2012-13 school year, Oct. 1 for the 2013-14 school year, and Sept. 1 for the 2014-15 school year and each school year thereafter.

This change in the Education Code has created the Transitional Kindergarten program, marking the first year of a two-year kindergarten experience for students born between Nov. 2 and Dec. 2. Students who take part learn oral language development, pre-literacy skills, early math skills, large and small motor skills, development and en-

tional skills, and self-regulation skills that promote success in school.

Kindergarten is not required in California. Many parents of younger kindergartenage children choose to enroll a year later.

This decision often means making a choice between keeping the child home another year or enrolling in a pre-school program.

The district always encourages families to carefully consider giving children born in September and October additional time. Another year of pre-school can greatly benefit children not yet 5, providing time to gain maturity, independence, and self-confidence.

In supervisor race, Pate makes statement against ‘career politicians’

BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES. NET

In 2009, Escondido resident Stephen Pate stood out on street corners adamantly protesting Obamacare, and he took his efforts a step further by calling state Senators Barbara Boxer and Stephen Pate Dianne Feinstein. But his efforts to be heard and make a difference were made with no avail.

“I was brushed off and disappointed,” Pate said.

The experience didn’t sit well, so Pate, who works as an independent contractor providing transportation services for film crews in Los Angeles, started looking into getting involved in politics himself. The political novice heard via a radio announcement that the filing period was open for District 3 County Supervisor.

“As I looked deeper into the process, I realized we have a lot of career politicians and that’s just not right,” he said. That’s what inspired Pate to pay the $1,500 filing fee and throw his hat in the race. He’s running against Del Mar Mayor Carl Hilliard, Solana Beach Deputy Mayor Dave Roberts, Steve Danon, who is chief of staff for Rep. Brian Bilbray, and Brian Ziegler, an attorney who has served for five years as senior deputy counsel for the county.

Elections take place June 5 for the supervisor seat, which will be vacated by Pam Slater-Price at the end of the year.

Pate considers himself a normal, middle-class citizen. He’s lived since 1998 in Escondido with his wife of 23 years.

A devout fiscal conservative and Latterday Saints Mormon, Pate said “We are catering too much to a welfare state, when we need to put taxpayers first in every decision.”

He also said he’s outraged that elected officials are “not serving as true public servants but as political insiders.” He said he is tired of entrenchment and thinks people should spend at least 20 years in the private sector before seeking political office.

Pate realizes his underdog status, but said he thinks his odds are increasing the more he gets his work out and people get more and more information about the other candidates. He refers to the political realm as “an old boys club” in which “people feel they are deserving and it’s their turn to take the reins.”

“I would love more than anything for other regular people like me to step up to the plate and get involved, or even run for office,” Pate said, adding that he would like to see many more than five candidates in this race, as well as others.

“For any seat, there are hundreds of great candidates out there that don’t run,” he said.

He added that political leaders are “building like there’s no tomorrow and See PATE, page 16

Zeigler wants to see ‘new young blood’ on the county supervisor board

BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET

Brian Ziegler never got to meet his grandfather, Theodore Roosevelt McKeldin, but he’s heard stories of how the former Maryland governor and vocal civil rights activist had bricks thrown through his window for advocating desegregation of African Americans in the 1950s.

“I look up to him and he’s part of the reason I’ve always wanted to get into politics,” said Ziegler, 32, who is running for District 3 County Supervisor. “I share his strong moral values and, like him, I believe we are all created equal.”

A North County native who attended Santa Fe Christian in Solana Beach, Zeigler, who works as senior deputy counsel for San Diego County, saw this local race as the perfect time Brian Ziegler to get into politics. He’s running against Del Mar Mayor Carl Hilliard, Escondido resident Stephen Pate, Solana Beach Deputy Mayor Dave Roberts and Steve Danon, Rep. Brian Bilbray’s Chief of Staff.

“I represent the people of San Diego in court, so when this position opened up I thought it would be a key time to get my feet wet and jump in,” said Zeigler, who works specifically in code enforcement prosecution and environmental cases for the county. Two years ago, Zeigler helped District 2 Supervisor Dianne Jacob in pioneering a crime-free multihousing ordinance, which holds slum lords accountable for apartment complexes that are nuisances and produce an excess of criminal activity. He became involved with this issue while on the East County Public Safety Task Force, which works to clean up the community and decrease service calls.

He is also proud of his 100-percent success rate in prosecuting and getting shut down nearly a dozen marijuana dispensaries last year in the unincorporated area of San Diego.

Zeigler, an Encinitas resident and father of four boys (ages three months to six years), said it’s been a juggle working full-time and campaigning, but he’s made somewhat of a family affair out of the experience. He’s gone out with his family in the district to pass out postcards and street signs, and his wife, Michelle, has taken on the role of his unofficial campaign manager.

“She’s been making phone calls, making signs and making postcards,” said Zeigler, who coaches for his kids’ soccer teams. “When I’m not working I’m busy campaigning and spending time with the kids. It will be nice when it’s all over so I have more family time.”

American Public Works Association honors Fletcher Cove Community Center The local chapter of the American Public Works Association (APWA) recently recognized several projects, including the Fletcher Cove Community Center in Solana Beach. APWA Projects of the Year serve as examples of excellence in infrastructure; this year’s winners improved water, sewer, energy and transportation systems, schools, hospitals, police and fire facilities, military bases and community parks.

According to APWA, the Fletcher Cove Community Center was recognized because it “provides a lasting testament to the spirit of the Solana Beach residents and officials who made it possible. A community foundation covered 75 percent of its rehabilitation costs, and a local architect, landscape designer, engineers and LEED consultants donated their services to make the Center a reality.

“The project converted a dilapidated 1940s U.S. Army Barracks, which was constructed with asbestos-containing materials, into a true community center. After a professional team removed the asbestos, the reconstruction incorporated environmentallyfriendly materials and met LEED silver stan-

DEFICIT continued from page 1 could be an increase of 3 percent.

Peabody discussed the difficulties schools are facing across California, as the state faces a structural deficit of $15-16 billion.

The revenues came in short once again and the state overspent by $2.6 billion. Education was the only entity that not only cut its budget but also its spending, Peabody said.

Peabody discussed Governor Jerry Brown’s school finance tax initiative that would mean, if it passes in November, the “weighted

PASEO continued from page 1 He said while the DEIR is a technical and disclosure document, it does not talk about the benefits of the project which he believes are many, including providing a heart to the community and a “Main Street.”

student formula” will go into effect.

The formula states that at the base level (K-3) $5,466 would be allocated per student (this year the district spent $10,100 per student).

At the 4-6 level, $4,934 would be allocated per student. This would be phased over seven years, Peabody said 70 percent of all districts in California would be losing money and 30 percent would be gaining.

Additionally, there will be deferrals related to the bill AB 103. The bill defers $3.6 billion to K-12 next year, although it does not impact DMUSD as the district receives money locally as a

community-funded district.

“If that passes, some 17 of 42 districts in San Diego won’t be able to meet payroll between October and December of next year,” Peabody said.

If the tax initiate fails, there will be a mid-year reduction of $441 per student and districts would also be allowed to reduce the school year by 15 days over two years, and the weighted student formula would be postponed.

Moving forward, the district has to make some adjustments but Peabody stressed the goal is to keep cuts away from the classroom.

Some of the things they

have already done to reduce the budget include tightening up spending to run maintenance and operations (M&O), technology and the district office; taking away $16,000 of lunch duty stipends; and reducing district administration, resulting in a savings of $92,000.

Peabody had a list of recommendations to reduce the budget further, including cutting library services in half ($267,000); a furlough day for all classified staff ($28,000); certificated staff furlough ($141,000); eliminate oversize class stipends ($230,000); eliminating duty- free lunch ($28,000); and restricted maintenance, such as put-

ting off painting or slurry seals for a year ($214,000).

Already M&O has been doing anything they can to maintain the quality of the campuses at lower the cost, such as doing all the plumbing in house rather than hiring someone outside to do the work and rebuilding air conditioning units themselves.

“Just tighten it up that’s been our mantra,” Peabody said. “We want to do whatever we can to keep money in the classroom.”

One option is to eliminate one of the district’s three nurses, a savings of $82,000, but Peabody said the district has many medically fragile students so they

would really need to weigh the need and the cost of that decision.

Another option is to eliminate one maintenance and operations position, at a savings of $64,300. Peabody explained it would not be a layoff—one of the employees is considering leaving and they would simply not fill the position.

“No matter what decisions we make, it’s going to affect people and that’s the hardest part of budget reductions,” Peabody said.

Peabody said another area for possible reduction is in the superintendent salary as they won’t likely hire someone with as much experience as Peabody had.

The biggest concerns voiced were surrounding the community character and the unmitigated traffic impacts.

“There’s no conceivable way to mitigate all of the traffic impacts if this is built at the size and scale that it is,” planning board member Chris Moore said.

The board and some au-

dience members wondered why the DEIR didn’t include a scaled down alternative that could achieve the project objectives without the same negative impacts.

“I don’t know why it was not included,” said CV planning board chair Frisco White and noted it would be a question they asked in their comments.

The board had concerns that the DEIR did not accurately describe the surrounding neighborhood that One Paseo is moving into, leaving out one single-family detached neighborhood and describing the area as having a 10-story building nearby, but board member Anne Harvey said that building is actually next to Interstate-5.

“It was described in a way that made it less contrasting, often capturing a broader area,” vice chair Manjeet Ranu said. “The

bulk and scale is radically different than anything in Carmel Valley and the DEIR really glosses over that.”

The visual effect section also does not consider the negative impact of widening the roads around One Paseo, Ranu said, which would result in a Mira Mesa Boulevard-type character.

The loss of trees is also not discussed, regional issues co-chair Jan Fuchs pointed out, about 72 of them on Del Mar Heights Road.

The market retail study was also considered inadequate by the board, not looking at the negative impacts to existing and planned retail, such as Pacific Highlands Ranch Village Center. One Paseo could potentially cause it and other retail not to be successful, White said.

“PHR already has a Vil-

lage Center, it just hasn’t had the chance yet,” said board member Allen Kashani. “I’d hate to see this project take away the opportunity to have a grocery store or a theater in PHR.” Moore also said that there needs to be better analysis that it is a walkable project as stated, as he doesn’t seem many linkages for people to get to the project easily and it’s likely a place most people will need to drive to.

“I don’t think I’m going to look at a 10-story building and say ‘I’m going up to the second floor and have coffee’,” said board member Debbie Lokanc. “I can’t see the walkability.”

She said it didn’t make sense to have all the shops and eateries hidden in the middle of the project — they should be drawing people in to walk around.

The board also took issue with the project having enough meaningful input from community members in its development.

“The DEIR goes into great lengths about how many meetings and barbecues were had,” Ranu said.

“It’s not meaningful if the project only changed 2 percent in that time. Marketing events didn’t tell people what the likely impact will be.”

When White asked for opponents and proponents to stand up so he could gauge how they were split, the majority of people in attendance were against the project.

While opponent Ken Farinksy said the DEIR was so flawed that it should be “redone and re-circulated for another 60 days,” project proponent Andrew Reece said he was impressed with amount of work that went into the document.

“It looks like a good understanding of mixed-use,” Reece said. “I think it demonstrates good knowledge of the neighborhood context and character.”

Besides One Paseo’s size, “gridlocked traffic” and parking were other issues that came up during public input.

“I’m concerned about parking, that it will be a Del Mar Plaza scenario where it takes as long to find a parking space as it does to walk around the area,” said Fred Baron, a 25-year Carmel Valley resident.

Resident Steve Burton, who is also the president of Ace Parking, provided a counterpoint. He believes that One Paseo’s shared parking program will actually be a big help for the project and especially for Carmel Valley, which faces a lot of parking challenges. All of the office space parking will be able to be used on weekends and after hours. One Paseo, in total, will have 4,089 spaces.

The next step in the process is for the city and the applicant to respond to all the comments on the DEIR and it’s not known how long that will take. The final EIR will then be prepared and a hearing at the planning commission can be scheduled a minimum of 14 days afterward. The Carmel Valley planning board will see the project again for a recommendation before it goes to the planning commission.

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.

porting that $430,000 had been raised. As of March 5, it was up to $665,000. Those last five weeks saw the goal being reached with 2,000 families contributing and the most corporate matches that the foundation has ever seen with $175,000. Qualcomm alone contributed $90,000 in matching funds.

The board and district

superintendent Jim Peabody thanked Isaacman and the foundation and all of the volunteers who worked tirelessly to meet their goal.

“The children of the Del Mar Union School District thank you immensely as we’re right on target with what we had last year,” said Peabody.

“It’s so important for kids to get that well-rounded education we desire,” echoed board president Scott Wooden.

payment of the Fair Share liability are rolled to the general fund to help fund other educational programs,” Lynch said. “Even though

the mandates for these programs have been flexed, we still provide the programs in which these funds are intended.”

SPENDING continued from page 1 in an email. “The appraisal, if the measure passes, will be $19,875,000, and if it does not pass will be $16,995,000. The Pro-Forma Value, or amount to be paid for this purchase is $8,248,048. The balance will be paid once it is determined if another school will need to be built in the same area.”

Once escrow is closed, the district will announce the expected school opening date, she said.

The school board also approved an amendment to a Memorandum of Understanding regarding financing of School #7, agreed to by the district and Pardee Homes in 2004.

This First Amendment to the 2004 MOU updates the sequencing of payments and how the bond structuring would be implemented, Lynch said.

Loan from county The board also approved a resolution requesting a temporary transfer of funds from the San Diego County treasurer’s office.

“This is a ‘safety net’ option that protects the district in case of a cash flow shortage,” Lynch said. “This resolution is annually brought to the board for approval. It allows the district to temporarily borrow funds against future property tax collections from the county treasury.”

Lynch described it as “more like a property tax ‘advance’” and said the district has not participated in this program in the last few years.

“The district,” she said, “is allowed to request up to 17 percent of estimated future property tax collections if the request is made any time before August 31 or up to 85 percent any time after August 31. The going rate for such an advance is whatever the county treasury interest rate is at the time of the advance.”

The district is requesting just over $4.7 million for the period of July 1 through

Aug. 31, and $23.7 million after Aug. 31. The total estimated amount of tax money the SBSD expects to receive for the 2012-2013 fiscal year is about $27.9 million, same as last year.

The purpose for the request, the resolution reads, is “to provide funds for meeting obligations incurred for maintenance purposes.”

Dan McAllister, San Diego County Treasurer, said in an email, “In good times when tax receipts are flowing well and all is better on the financial front for local school districts, the loans are very rare. As the economy has stayed down and property values have declined, the taxes needed to fund school districts have also slowed.

“This, combined with the state legislature’s inability to pass timely budgets, has placed many school districts in a cash flow bind.

Thus, many have begun to turn to the concept of treasurer’s loans to help them weather the difficult economic times.”

Flexible use of funding Funding for categorical programs classified as Tier III has been given greater flexibility in the last few years, to allow districts more flexible ways to apply money formerly restricted for use only on specific programs.

Tier III funding flexibility is available for the 20082009 through the 2014-2015 years, but must be approved each year by each district’s Board of Education.

“As a condition of receiving Tier III program funds, the board must annually hold a public hearing to take testimony from the public on the proposed use of the funds,” Lynch said.

The Solana Beach School District is seeking funding flexibility for 12 Tier III categorical programs.

The highest funded programs include: Targeted Instructional Improvement Grant ($717,648), School and Library Block Grant ($234,426), Instructional Materials ($126,823), and Deferred Maintenance ($115,005). Combined with

the other eight, the total is just over $1.5 million.

The district proposes to use most of the $1.5 million to pay the state its “Fair Share” liability, which is the amount each Basic Aid district is being assessed by the state to equal the proportional cuts in money from the state that non-Basic Aid districts have been forced to give up.

Basic Aid districts, about 10 percent of the state’s total, receive the bulk of their money from local property taxes rather than directly from Sacramento like the other 90 percent.

“Since these [Tier III] funds are flexible and the district carries a Fair Share liability, administration recommends to the board that the funds be used to pay for the liability,” Lynch said.

The board approved the recommendation.

The estimated Fair Share liability is up to 90 percent of these funds, including funding for the K-3 Class Size Reduction program, she said.

“Any funds left after the

See Beneath Inc. helps children with autism reach communication milestones

BY KELLEY CARLSON See Beneath Inc. has surfaced as one of the newest resources for children and families affected by Autism Spectrum Disorders.

The organization, officially established as a nonprofit in January, plans to offer educational tools for children diagnosed with, or at risk for, the developmental disabilities and their families. It provides ways for parents to help their kids reach milestones in social skills and communication — areas impacted by ASD. An animated video titled “Aiko & Egor” is See Beneath’s first product, which follows a purple whale and a bright orange blowfish in their underwater adventures. The pilot episode focuses on object imitation, gross motor imitation and gesture imitation, with a goal of effectively teaching children one skill from each category, according to See Beneath cofounder Gerin Gaskin.

“We’re creating an opportunity (for learning) in the home setting,” Gaskin said.

The team behind See Beaneath is composed of local residents — and roommates — Gaskin and Jim Turner, and Casey Hoffman

See Beneath co-founder Gerin Gaskin with Aiko, who inspired the animation of ‘Aiko & Egor,’ at the National Foundation for Autism Research’s San Diego Race for Autism. of San Diego.

Gaskin and Hoffman are both employed in the UCSD Autism Intervention Research Program as early childhood interventionists.

Gaskin had worked with adults with disabilities for three years and volunteered at the Autism Center for Excellence before taking on her current position. Hoffman, who also serves as the

research program’s lab coordinator, earned his bachelor’s degree in psychology from UCSD and is now working on his master’s of global leadership at the University of San Diego.

Turner is the owner of event/flower design studio Blackbird Flowers in Encinitas, and has assisted a number of nonprofits through art direction and project management over the years.

In addition, he has written and performed educationbased materials for more than 10,000 children.

It was personal experience that inspired Gaskin’s work in autism research, and eventually helped lead to the creation of See Beneath. When her brother was a child, he was diagnosed with autism, a developmental disability that causes problems with social interaction and communication. Symptoms tend to vary for each individual, and can range from mild to severe — hence the “spectrum.”

The Gaskin family often encountered difficulties finding the necessary services their son needed.

Consequently, they moved all around the country, and over time discovered that California was one of the best locations for resources.

This challenge eventually served as motivation for Gaskin to take action.

“It’s inspired us ... to reach people who don’t have 12 hours of therapy allotted to them every week,” said Gaskin.

The idea to form a nonprofit began several years ago, after she and Turner led a food drive. When it proved successful, the two — who have been close friends for the last six years — began brainstorming about other projects on which they could collaborate.

Reaching out to the autism community seemed to be the natural choice, after they realized there weren’t many learning tools available for young children diagnosed with the disability.

Gaskin had been working alongside Hoffman at UCSD, treating children under the age of 3 who were at risk for autism. And Turner had plenty of experience with nonprofits.

“I thought we should all come together and make (this) happen,” Gaskin said.

The trio originally wanted to write books, “but we wanted to make our tools as competitive and accessible as possible, so video media seemed the best route,” Gaskin explained.

The ‘Aiko & Egor’ characters include Wade the seahorse, Egor the blowfish, Aiko the whale, and Lydia the clam.

In summer 2010, the team began to develop the characters, script and storyboards for the pilot episode of “Aiko & Egor.” Gaskin and Hoffman noted that many of the youths they had treated at UCSD enjoyed sea creatures, including one of the first children both therapists worked with, who was obsessed with purple whales. Subsequently, the whale became the inspiration behind the adventurous Aiko.

Other characters followed, including the blowfish Egor, who inflates when he gets nervous, but then finds that everything will be OK; Wade, a seahorse who loves to play with friends; and Lydia the clam, a “soft, motherly type” who loves her baby pearl and encourages the

characters to discover and explore.

For the story plot, the group decided to focus on imitation — an important skill that children need in order to learn from others and their environment— with a target audience of ages 18 months to about 6 years.

And to engage both parents and children, the trio decided to make some aspects of the cartoon silly.

“We wanted to make sure it’s enjoyable for parents, siblings, caregivers, grandparents -- the whole household,” Gaskin said.

The next step was to recruit a team of animators to bring the idea to fruition, so the group advertised their need for volunteers on

Accomplished author’s book sheds light on Hitler’s first year in power

BY JOE TASH Before World War II and the horrors of the Holocaust, before the infamous reign of the Third Reich, Adolf Hitler was appointed chancellor of Germany.

The year was 1933, and most of the world was oblivious to the gathering threat posed by the new regime. Berlin was a lively, colorful city, whose charisma and excitement may have obscured signs of impending doom. Hitler did not yet have an absolute grip on power, and observers thought his government would fall.

“What would that have been like, to have actually been there?” writer Erik Larson asked himself.

“In the Garden of Beasts,” Larson’s latest book (Crown Publishing), may be the closest that any of us will ever come to experiencing Hitler’s first year in power. The book, which came out in paperback on May 1, tells the story of William E. Dodd, who was appointed U.S. ambassador to Germany by newly elected President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1933.

Larson, on a tour to support the book’s paperback release, spoke Wednesday, May 16, at the Santaluz Club’s literary luncheon.

Larson, 58, a former writer for the Wall Street Journal, has published six nonfiction books, including “The Devil in the White City,” a tale of the 1893 World Fair in Chicago, and a serial killer who used the fair as a lure.

The writer lives in Seattle with his wife, a physician, and three daughters. He was born in Brooklyn, New York.

In an interview before his talk, Larson said he was browsing through the history section of a bookstore, thinking about topics for a new book, when he came across “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich,” by William L. Shirer, a book he had long wanted to read. He picked it up, and in reading the book, decided his next endeavor would focus on the first year of Hitler’s rule.

He then sought a character, or characters, who could serve as a vehicle for telling the story. He came across Dodd, who took the ambassador’s post after a number of others

had turned it down. Dodd moved to Berlin with his wife and two grown children, a son and a daughter.

In his research, Larson discovered that Dodd’s daughter at first found Berlin’s social life “intoxicating,” and she had published a memoir of her life there in 1939.

Larson’s book chronicles one year in the family’s life, from their arrival in Berlin Author Erik Larson with his book “In until mid-1934, the Garden of Beasts.” when Hitler orPhoto/Jon Clark dered the murder and imprisonment of hundreds of people suspected of disloyalty in an event dubbed “the night of the long knives.”

“That’s what changes the Dodds, their attitudes, forever,” Larson said.

While some thought Dodd, a mild-mannered history professor, might not be up for the job, according to Larson, “I think Dodd did the best anybody, frankly, could have done because he was not going to kowtow to the Nazis. He was not going to suck up to Hitler.”

“The Nazis wound up absolutely hating his guts. My point is, if the Nazis hate you, you did something right,” he

said.

In the course of researching the book, Dodd spent countless hours poring through documents at the Library of Congress and the National Archives. He also traveled to Berlin to get a feel for the layout of the city, especially the government sector where Dodd lived and worked. The name of the book is a translation of the Tiergarten, Berlin’s central park, whose name translates to garden or park of the beasts.

The park was one of the few places in Berlin not under audio surveillance by the Gestapo, Hitler’s secret police, an important point in the story, Larson said.

The book is factually accurate, said Larson, but his primary goal was not to inform. “Rather, to create a historical experience. As vivid a sense of the past as possible.”

“So when you emerge from one of my books, ideally, my hope is that you emerge with this feeling that you kind of experienced in a very powerful way, that era,” he said.

Universal Studios and actor Tom Hanks’ production company have purchased an option for movie rights to the book, and Hanks has indicated an interest in playing Dodd, Larson said.

“I think that’d be great,” he said. “I have every expectation there will be a film and it will be a good one.”

People do seem to find resonance between the book and today’s political realities. Depending on the point of view of the reader, Larson said, they may see different threats. For example, he said, the Left is concerned about right-leaning groups, while Jewish congregations are worried about Iran.

If the events of 1933 Berlin do provide a lesson, it’s that, “You’ve got to be vigilant. Things can change quickly,” Larson said. But he added, “The reason I did the book is because I thought it was a great story.”

By Karen Billing The Del Mar-Solana Beach Optimist Club held its 30th annual Vic Kops Children’s Challenge Awards on May 23, honoring 11 youngsters in a “league all their own.”

The awards honor elementary school students in the areas of community service, science, art, fellowship, humanities and courage, and each child wins $100 for their accomplishments.

“It’s a larger number than usual but we have such an exceptional group of young people this year,” said co-chair Susan Pfleeger. “These young people give me the courage and faith to know our world is going to be in good hands.”

Solana Highlands second grade student Nikki Sadeghi received an award for community service. Her teacher Shaina White said that Nikki selflessly helped in a class service project.

“She sets a really good example of how to treat other people at school daily,” said White. “She’s very inspiring.”

Sixth grade student Tamar Ervin from Carmel Del Mar School was honored in the area of science. Teacher Cinda Peck said that Tamar excels in every project she touches. She participated in science field day and even coached teams, doing cross-peer tutoring. She is also part of the Green Team at the school. In science, she’s worked with robotics and has become the camera person and editor for the school’s broadcast.

“She’s the complete package, an amazing athlete, a talented musician and genuinely kind and compassionate,” said teacher Janet Wolfertz. “I even saw her eating broccoli instead of potato chips at a birthday party.”

Andrew Onozuka, a third grade student at Ocean Air, was honored for his achievements in fine art; his paintings have won several awards.

“We believe in his talents,” said father Gene, who noted Andrew also spends a lot of time learning the language and culture of his family’s origins, Japan.

Father John Mountzouris also nominated his daughter Eva Yang, a fourth grader student at Ocean Air, in the writing division.

“She’s really blossomed in the fourth grade in terms of writing,” said Mountzouris.

He said Eva always has a lot going on in her head and one way to get it out is writing. She has researched and written about local topics such as vernal pools.

Wild about Zoozeum

BY KAREN BILLING Congregation Beth Am’s Gesher preschool class put on its wildly cute Zoozeum on May 15. The night is a celebration of animal artwork, including impressive paper machÊ creations that the young children made with their parents.

It was the ninth annual Zoozeum display but special this year because it was the first time it was hosted at Beth Am. Denise Neifeld, preschool director, said the Zoozeum just gets more and more impressive each year.

Children complete artwork of all different styles to reflect their animal, from Marc Chagall “stained glass� to construction paper cubism a la Pablo Picasso.

The children also researched their animals, learning fun facts and their names in Hebrew and then gave a brief and adorable oral presentation about their chosen animal. “Take note of your chil-

dren’s faces as they beam with pride,� Neifeld told the parents last Tuesday night. “You will witness the feeling of self worth, the sense of accomplishment and the feeling of pride that they’ve gained for this amazing venture.�

Neifeld said it’s very special that the parents and children work together on the paper machÊ projects as it creates a strong link between home and school and wonderful memories that will last a lifetime.

Beth Am Rabbi David Kornberg even remarked that his 11-year-old still fondly remembers her Zoozeum adventure.

Gabriel had to take on a multitude of duties alongside Principal Jerry Jones (in photo above with Gabriel), including greeting students and families at their cars, doing the morning announcements, patrolling on recess and lunch duty, making an announcement about which class won on Spirit Day for the most heads with crazy hair, and directing an open house parade.

He also enjoyed a special pizza lunch with three of his best friends.

Jones documented each step of Gabriel’s day so that he could make a digital video as a keepsake of the day. — Karen Billing

Local resident leads Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Colitis Foundation of Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s San Diego Chapter â&#x20AC;˘Fundraising walk to be held June 2

BY JOE TASH More than one million Americans â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and thousands of San Diego County residents â&#x20AC;&#x201D; suffer from Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease or ulcerative colitis, two painful conditions that cause chronic inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract.

The local chapter of the Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Colitis Foundation of America, part of a nationwide organization dedicated to funding research into the conditions and providing support to Participants in a past Take Steps walk.

One annual event coming up this weekend is the Take Steps two-mile walk, which is both a fundraising event and a chance for patients and families to get together for a fun and relaxing afternoon. This yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s event will be held at 4 p.m. on Saturday, June 2, at NTC Park in San Diegoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Liberty Station development.

Those interested in signing up for the walk or donating can visit www.cctakesteps. org, or call (619) 497-1300.

Ulcerative colitis and Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease each affect between 600,000 and 700,000 people in the United States, said Dr. Bill Sandborn, chief of gastroenterology at the UC San Diego Health System, and a member of the Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and Colitis Foundation board.

Bazzett said an estimated 14,000 people suffer from the two illnesses in San Diego County.

While there is likely a genetic factor in the conditions â&#x20AC;&#x201D; people whose close relatives have been diagnosed with Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or colitis are more likely to get it themselves â&#x20AC;&#x201D; other environmental factors such as eating a diet with a lot of meat or processed foods may also figure into the equation, Sandborn said.

In the United States, the number of cases went up in the 1960s and 1970s, then stabilized for a couple of decades. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now in the last 10 years itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going up again and we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know why,â&#x20AC;? Sandborn said.

Safe drugs with relatively low side effects work for about half of the colitis patients, while the others need either drugs that do cause side effects, or surgery. A larger percentage of Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s patients need to take medication that causes side effects to 2011 treat their disease, Sandborn said.

Readersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Choice One factor in both colitis and Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is smoking, although the effect is opposite:

both conditions, he said.

Nationally, the foundation is funding nearly 200 different research projects related to Crohnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s and colitis, with 10 of those projects located at San Diego County research facilities, Bazzett said.

The organization raises the majority of its funds through private donations and fund-raising events, such as Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s two-mile walk.

Other events are planned for later this year. In September, the foundation will host a triathlon to raise money for research and patient support, and a flag football tournament â&#x20AC;&#x201D; complete with former NFL players â&#x20AC;&#x201D; will be held in October at Qualcomm Stadium.

Services are provided by the foundation to patients and their families at little or no cost, and 80 percent of funds raised goes directly into research, support or education, Bazzett said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We do believe we will have cures in our lifetime,â&#x20AC;? she said.

ENERGY continued from page 2 She said the city is currently in discussions with the city manager and city attorney to figure out whether the model would be financially feasible. The next step could be to put the issue on a council agenda for public discussion.

She thanked members of the community for expressing their “broad and deep support” for CCA. One of those community members was Solana Beach resident Torgen Johnson, who described the current situation as a “Cold War, Soviet-style monopoly” on energy providers.

Resident Jack Hegenauer said adopting a local energy cooperative would be in line with the principles of sustainability outlined in the city’s revised community plan.

“I’m not sure we know what sustainability looks like at a community level because we are used to personal recycling and conservation efforts,” he said.

KINDERGARTEN continued from page 2 The Solana Beach School District’s Child Development Center offers a fee-based preschool for chil-

dren from 18 months to prekindergarten. Also, next fall, the district’s Child Development Center will offer a feebased Pre-K Plus program to accommodate students that may need a more developmental program rather than the increased rigor of transitional kindergarten curriculum. You can learn more about this program at www. sbsd.net.

If your child was born in October and would like to be on a space-available waiting list of Transitional Kindergarten, please contact the secretary at your school.

PATE continued from page 4 spending like we have the money to spend.”

“Career politicians’ only concern is being reelected and answering to donors who contribute to the reelection fund,” he said. “It’s a cycle of self-serving behavior, but if a regular citizen were to come in he would be out to protect the taxpayers and people’s freedoms.”

If elected, Pate said he will put a pause on his career in the film industry.

“I’m leaving a lucrative environment to serve the public, and I will gladly come back to my job when my term is up,” Pate said.

AUTISM continued from page 8 Craigslist. About 20 people agreed to assist with such tasks as animation, voiceovers and the creation of original music. Family and friends provided the characters’ voices, and Turner even contributed a lion’s roar.

The 8 1/2-minute pilot was finally completed in September 2011, after a year of work.

In order to raise funds to further develop See Beneath, Gaskin, Hoffman and Turner turned to Kickstarter, a Web site that serves as a funding platform for creative projects. They set a goal of raising $12,000 in 45 days; instead, they raised $14,000.

In addition, the trio entered a couple of competitions, winning $7,000 through the USD Social Innovation Challenge and $2,500 in legal support from the UCSD Executive Summary Challenge.

Gaskin said See Beneath is in the process of paying the volunteers for their time spent on the project. The nonprofit also is currently writing the first six episodes of “Aiko & Egor,” and hopes to have them completed by the end of the year. The epi-

sodes will focus on topics such as greetings, social routines and games, turn-taking and sharing, pre-verbal language, expressive language, initiating, pre-academic and academic skills, and play skills.

See Beneath’s long-term goal is to add more tools for children with autism, including an interactive Web site that parents can customize for their kids and an application to help families teach and connect with their child. Gaskin said they also hope to eventually offer materials such as toys and books — much like “Sesame Street,” but for kids on the autism spectrum.

They also plan to continue their research to see how patients improve with their tools, and hope to one day include a larger, older audience.

“Every kid is so different,” Gaskin said. “To reach (all of them), you have to have a lot of content.”

A preview of the pilot episode of “Aiko & Egor” is on See Beneath’s Web site, at aikoandegor.com. To obtain a copy, e-mail aikoandegor@gmail.com; donations and/or feedback would be appreciated. For additional information, call (858) 504-8443, go to facebook.com/aikoandegor, or

follow the nonprofit on Twitter @aikoandegor.

“We’re really excited about the future,” Gaskin said. “We’re trying to change the world one piece of animation at a time.”

ZEIGLER continued from page 4 Zeigler is a devout Christian and Tea Party Republican, and he said it’s because of his faith that he sees himself as a selfless servant to the people.

“It’s not about me,” he said. “I want to make the community better because I care about it. My kids go to school here and play sports here. This is our life.”

Having grown up in North County, Zeigler said his “ears are close to the street.”

“I’ve been here my whole life and my friends are born and raised here, just middle class people like me,” said Zeigler, adding that he is not a career politician.

He said there is a cycle of power in our county in which “rich people who are out of touch but have lots of money get people to vote for them.”

“Then they get into office and establish their kingdoms and lose sight of what’s going on in the community,” he said.

Zeigler and his wife have headed and served as volunteer mentors for a marriage mentoring group at their local church for more than 10 years. In the group, the Zeiglers connect new couples and discuss subjects, such as interpersonal communication, that are important to those thinking about marriage. He said the experience has made him accustomed to having an open door to the community, and being a person that people can come to and share what’s important to them.

“We are active in the community and involved in the YMCA and in church.

We care about what’s going on in the schools, and I think that makes us relatable,” Zeigler said, adding that he’d like to bring “younger new blood instead of other career politicians” to the Board of Supervisors.

“We are a family that other young families can relate to, and we want to see change in government leadership.”

Something must be done with One Paseo block It is time to put aside the hyperbole and exaggeration about One Paseo.

Whether it is constructed or not, the sky is not going to fall and the world is not going to come to an end. Only by sorting through the exaggerations, however, can we make a decision we all can live with.

I should say at the outset that I support some kind of development on that land. It has been an eyesore ever since I moved to Carmel Valley almost 12 years ago. It is time for that vacant parcel to be turned into something that benefits the community.

Opponents of the development complain that it will change the character of the community. It will certainly change the character of the block. But Carmel Valley itself cannot change significantly, because the community is pretty much built out already. The neighborhoods are likely to be unchanged. The character of Carmel Valley is nevertheless likely to be affected by changes in the surrounding

areas. New developments are already adding housing to Torrey Hills. When development in Pacific Highlands Ranch resumes, the hundreds of new households will affect Carmel Valley far more than One Paseo will.

Carmel Valley resources will be tested, including Carmel Valley commercial resources.

It may well need the retail services One Paseo promises to bring. At any rate, Carmel Valley cannot let the world pass it by. It is going to change, largely because of factors over which it has absolutely no control.

Some of the arguments against One Paseo border on the silly. No parks are included in the plan, so residents of One Paseo will overwhelm local parks? I haven’t noticed much crowding at local parks so far, and I don’t see how 1,600 new residents will change that. Perhaps Kilroy will plan a park in One Paseo and make the objection moot. One Paseo “violates” the general plan? General plans are not cast in stone.

They are just that, general

plans that evolve with the community with input from the community. And we are giving community input right now.

Traffic impacts, however, do need to be addressed.

Opponents claim that traffic will “impose gridlock” on “already congested” roads and “overwhelm” Carmel Valley. I wonder how many have actually read the traffic portion of the draft environmental impact statement.

There will be long-term negative impacts that do warrant concern, particularly along Del Mar Heights Road at Camino Real and High Bluff and at the ramps to Interstate 5. Mitigation at the interchanges with I-5 is largely the responsibility of Caltrans, which may or may not cooperate with the city.

The DEIR points out that the High Bluff and El Camino Real interchanges would be no better than marginally acceptable whether One Paseo is built or not. Still, these impacts may be unavoidable costs of One Paseo, and we do have to decide whether they are costs we are willing

Walkable Del Mar, finally EMERSON’S CORNER We Delmarians will soon have an opportunity to transform our downtown from BUD EMERSON a car-cenDel Mar tric area to a pedestrian-centric environment. We will finally be able to put into place the last element of the vision built into our Community Plan in 1975, a walkable, resident-serving downtown.

Not only will roundabouts and a two-lane configuration of Camino Del Mar civilize our downtown, it will put us on the leading edge of a world-wide trend, cited recently in the NY Times, of a “complete streets strategy that public rights of way should be for all of society — not just cars.”

Guided by our nationally-recognized urban planner, Kathy Garcia, our draft Village Specific Plan moves us

up what the Brookings Institution calls a “ladder of walkability,” from least to most walkable. And here’s the unintentional but welcome outcome: it increases property values. We have known for a long time that our rigorous growth controls have been dramatically successful in enhancing real estate values. Walkability has a similar documented effect: “On average, each step up the walkability ladder adds...$82 per square foot to home values.”

It is counter intuitive, but narrowing from four to two lanes with roundabouts actually increases the carrying capacity of CDM. First, it is important to face the reality that the current traffic count exceeds its capacity by more than 3,000 trips per day, creating cut- through pressure on nearby neighborhood streets (almost 8,000 per day during race and fair season). This transformation would enable an increase of between 6,000 and 14,000 vehicles per day, although at a much slower and even flow rate.

Of course, we will never completely tame traffic, but this change will take some pressure off of neighborhoods and ultimately change “through driver” behavior to use the freeway alternative. We will be come a “to” town more than a “through” town. And more work is being done on diversion and calming measures for neighborhood streets.

So what about pedestrians? The design calls for 10 or more feet of new sidewalk space. Crossing this narrower street will take less time and be safer. Crosswalks will be placed at all intersections, with pedestrian-activated signals. The roundabout design intersections will accommodate 120 pedestrians an hour (300 percent of today’s volumes).

The draft plan is very detailed, covering parking, density and more, well worth our study time and input before we ultimately place it on the ballot. This is a breakthrough moment for Del Mar to finally realize our Community Plan’s vision of a walkable, human scale small town environment.

to pay in exchange for the services One Paseo will offer.

Contrary to what the opponents say but according to the DEIR, most of the other impacted roads and intersections can be mitigated to satisfactory levels (satisfactory at least as far as traffic engineers are concerned), with two exceptions. El Camino Real between San Dieguito Road and Via de la Valle and Via de la Valle between San Andres Drive and El Camino Real are unacceptable now and unlikely to improve until San Dieguito Valley is no longer considered to be environmentally sensitive land. They are also largely in Del Mar, and it is fair to ask whether Carmel Valley should be hamstrung by the needs of Del Mar. I need to point out, also, that much of the opposition to One Paseo is funded by Del Mar Highlands Shopping Center. There is nothing wrong with that; Kilroy is funding most of the support of One Paseo.

But I can question whether

it is a good business decision. To the extent that Del Mar Highlands becomes more desirable by the presence of One Paseo, it will benefit from the upscale businesses it attracts and increased rents it collects. If anyone is entitled to be upset, it is Piazza Carmel, which is more likely to be hurt by the competition. But it has not, to my knowledge, done much if anything to complain. By funding (dare I say orchestrating?) the opposition, however, Del Mar Highlands looks to be only self-serving and possibly misinformed.

It does no good to criticize and find fault without proposing alternatives.

Something needs to be done with the block. It is one of the few unimproved tracts of land in the area, and it stands out more like a sore thumb every day it goes unimproved. Approve One Paseo, tell Kilroy to come up with something less ambitious, or turn it into a park.

But do something.

For future generations, vote ‘Yes’ on Prop 29 When I began smoking at the age of 15, I’d sneak a cigarette every now and then with no idea that it would become a lifelong habit. But shortly I was hooked – and it took numerous quitting attempts over 30 years for me to finally kick the habit.

It disheartens me to see the lies and false propaganda Big Tobacco portrays in their multi-million dollar campaign against Proposition 29. Big Tobacco wants you to believe that Proposition 29 will hit the average family pocketbook – but it won’t.

If passed, Prop 29

would require that smokers pay an extra $1 a pack for their cigarettes. Good! It’s estimated that with this tax youth will be priced out, and more than 200,000 kids likely will be prevented from becoming smokers. It will also fund lifesaving research and create community programs to help people quit.

If cigarettes cost more when I was 15, I probably wouldn’t have started. It’s time for California voters to stand up for our future generation and vote Yes on Prop 29.

Not shedding any tears for Carmel Valley NIMBYs Forgive me if I don’t shed a tear for all the Carmel Valley whiners complaining about the horrors of increased traffic, tax revenues and more workers coming from the One Paseo project. I guess you won’t be attending the Del Mar Fair, horse

races, the beach or Fiesta Del Sol this year. Don’t get me wrong, we’d love to have you over here on the West side of the freeway, but you’d sort of look like hypocrites and we don’t wish that.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

A fond farewell to Del Mar On June 29 I will be retiring from Union Bank in Del Mar after almost 17 years of serving this wonderful community. I figured that I have spent more time in Del Mar than I have at home.

I’ll never forget my first day on the job in 1995.

Standing on the back landing of the bank, looking at the Pacific and thinking that I am the luckiest banker in the world to be here. I still feel this way as I end my career in Del Mar. I truly felt like the small town banker of times gone by. I saw children grow, go to college, get married and then have their children. I helped my friends (hard to call them clients) with their aging parents’ banking

needs. I was here to help with the passing of a parent, spouse or friend. I felt their sorrow because I, too, lost a friend. The chair at my desk was for anyone who wanted to stop by to say “Hi.” I heard stories of themselves, trips taken, family updates and new grandkids. Of course, I shared stories of my sons and their families.

Somewhere in between stories we got to banking needs. I was particularly close to the business community as they worked hard each day to make a go of their dream business in Del Mar. I often told them they had more courage than most to be a small business owner with all the ups and downs.

Over the years I had the

opportunity to be involved, first with the Chamber and then the Del Mar Village Association. I have met so many wonderful people through my community involvement. I admire the dedication of the residents, who work through so many community organizations, to make their Del Mar a better place.

I’m not riding off into the sunset as that would be tough with the ocean so close. I’m just finishing one chapter in my life and beginning another. I’ll surely see many friends here again. It is my hope that I helped in some small way to make our Del Mar a better place.

Until we meet again Walt Beerle

One Paseo should not be approved as proposed I have been reading the comments in the Carmel Valley News for some time.

(1) The consensus from residents is that they like the shopping opportunities that the project will present. (2) Some feel that the project will help employment. (3) A few have spoken in favor of additional housing opportunities.

Those opposed cite (1) the additional traffic load which cannot be entirely mitigated based on the size and sheer volume of the project. (2) The project is not within the guidelines originally set by the community plan. (3) Kilroy has been less than forthcoming and honest about the nature and extent of the project.

My observations: (1) As a 12-year resident of Carmel Valley, I have serious concerns about the One Paseo project as proposed by Kilroy Realty. I walk Carmel Valley regularly. I have walked the trail which borders the west of the project. A simple site line can be imagined from the top of the adjacent Neurocrine building, two stories high. Multiplying that by 8 and 10 story buildings gives a visual of the sight and air flow impairment that the proposed project will create.

A walk along El Camino Real and through the Del Mar Highlands center completes the picture. A 10-story office and 8-story office along that corridor will severely impact the western light and air along El Cami-

no Real that we currently enjoy. Deep shadows will prevail over El Camino that will permanently alter the character and ambiance of that street. The opponents are correct on this one. Kilroy’s website and artist renderings not only focus on the shopping district only, but clearly avoid showing the extent of the building heights and the impact they will have on the surrounding streets and walkways.

(2) I have not observed one comment lobbying for elimination of the project.

All opposition is aimed at scaling back the project.

There is a reason the community plan was put in place and the reasons are just as material now as when they were initiated. Carmel Valley was never intended to be a city downtown. Yet that is what this project will look like if the building heights are retained.

(3) The argument for a stimulus to employment is a proposition that must be factored by the temporary nature of construction employment, and the likelihood that a significant portion of the permanent employment in the project itself will be from out of area residents, i.e., retail, office and hotel minimum wage jobs. This only adds to the concern of the overwhelming traffic impacts on the area.

(4) There are no other buildings in this area with the heights that Kilroy proposes. The only buildings

even close are the Marriott and US Bank at the far south end of El Camino at the 56 interchange. High Bluff and El Camino are essentially limited to two and three stories.

(5) Not one argument is made for the need for a five-story hotel. The hotels in the area are concentrated in a “hotel district.” Currently an additional hotel is being constructed in the Valley Center, El Camino Real area, bringing the number to four hotels.

(6) Those commenting on the additional housing are realtors and real estate-related persons who stand to benefit from the inclusion of additional housing. There is a cogent argument being made that our recreation opportunities are currently underserved, and that must be considered and mitigated.

Additionally, original developers in Carmel Valley built schools as part of their approvals. I have not heard of any such proposal here.

My opinion: One Paseo should not be approved as proposed. The project should retain the shopping element as that is what the residents want. The building heights should be scaled back to no more than four stories. The hotel component should be eliminated.

The housing component should only be approved if the developer can provide additional park, recreation and school facilities.

Local papers truly appreciated We are writing to say thank you for the role that this paper (and other local papers) played in publicizing a recent event at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Dieguito in Solana Beach. We were very happily surprised at the response the articles on our exhibit of Hmong story cloths and social forum elicited. Many friends and neighbors commented on an article they had seen, and the audience at the exhibit opening and social forum came from all parts of the county.

A young Hmong man, chairperson of the Education Committee of the Hmong Family Association of San Diego, told us that night about how surprised and delighted he had been to see the article about “his people” in a local publication.

A nurse who had worked in Laos in the 1960s saw the article and came because it was the first time she’d seen anything about Laos in local publications for 20

years. Another woman saw the article in a doctor’s office and was so excited about attending that the receptionist helped her find her way to the fellowship. We believe the enthusiastic overall response and these individual stories illustrate so well the fact that local newspapers are essential to bringing our communities together.

We were interviewed by two reporters who were both remarkably young and remarkably good at what they do, and we so appreciated their expressed (and obvious) commitment to keeping print journalism alive in this world of instant communication. After this experience, we are more than ever convinced that newspapers, especially local ones that report local news to local people, play a vital role in creating and sustaining community. Thanks to all of you who make them happen.

Look at Scott Peters’ record before voting Beware Carmel Valley! Scott Peters is not your advocate.

Several years ago Mr. Peters was our Councilman in the city of San Diego. He turned a deaf ear to requests from citizens to provide our region with any sort of public transportation and refused to support us.

His response to those requests was that it was not financially advantageous to the city to provide transportation. He said this on

public radio and his aides said this on the phone.

Note that at the same time he supported this benefit for University City. Look at his record before you vote. Find out how he voted when he was our Councilman and what he has truly done during the intervening years.

DM should jettison design review board, relax restrictions To enact more building restrictions, a cadre of development foes frightens the community with mansionization. Flaming the fear, the cadre cites a 7,000-square-foot house on an 8,000-square-foot lot.

The cited house does not justify a tocsin since the house buries half of its enclosed living space and augments a deck. The replacing structure imposes no more than the previous structure. The current floorarea ratio limits surface size, and the harsh design-review-board constrains bulk and mass.

The cadre then fallaciously argues that only building restrictions preserve Del Mar’s eclectic architecture. Del Mar built its putatively eclectic beach cottages in the absence of building restrictions. Those shabby cottages now face continued deterioration and eventual collapse. Current building constraints guarantee their replacements lack differentiation.

As safety and mileage restrictions make all cars similar, tight building restrictions make all homes similar.

The current restrictions

already homogenize housing; tighter restrictions only halt development through regulations and delays. Residential development emulates the failed gas-station development.

To gentrify the residential district and attract innovative architects, Del Mar must jettison the design review board and relax current restrictions. Frank Lloyd Wright would never acquiesce to the judgments of the design review board or the complaints of obstructive neighbors.

Del Mar/Carmel Valley Sharks under-15 Elite girls soccer team celebrates state championship title

BY KAREN BILLING How does a talented Del Mar/Carmel Valley Sharks under-15 Elite girls soccer team celebrate winning the state championship? By playing more soccer of course.

With their May 20 win of the Cal South National Championship still fresh on their cleats, the girls celebrated with a competitive parent-child soccer match and picnic on May 24, as is tradition after all their big wins. And this squad has had a lot of big wins.

“It’s the core of what we are and how I built this team from the ground up,” said Coach Felicia Kappes. “I’m a big believer in building camaraderie on and off the field.”

The Sharks were undefeated throughout the Cal South tournament, scoring 40 goals and only allowing five goals.

They had some challenges in the eighth round but persevered and had a satisfying victory over Carlsbad Elite in the finals, who had beat them four weeks prior.

“It was a great comeback to redeem ourselves,” said Kappes of the 5-1 game. “It was a great win.”

For that final game, the girls found inspiration in a Mia Hamm quote, which they recited as a team before they hit the pitch.

“I am a member of a team and I rely on the team. I defer to it and sacrifice for it because the team, not the individual, is the ultimate champion.”

“It gave us a little spark,” said co-captain Shelby Lee. The team will now head to the Far West Regionals, June 18-24, in Phoenix to try and turn their state championship into a best in the west title and a chance at nationals in July in South Carolina.

Kappes has been the coach of these Sharks for the last four years — the team moved over last year from Carmel Valley Manchester as Kappes accepted a position as the director of coaching for the league.

The team is just about to start their next season, in the midst of finishing last year’s with this successful run.

“We are just very talented from defense to offense,” Kappes said. “This team is very special in so many ways, they’re more like sisters than teammates, they know each other so well which helps them continue to play at a high

Oregon, which not only propelled them to number one in the country but also earned the entire squad a trip to Sweden, all expenses paid. They represented the United States as a U-14 team.

“We’ve been on a great run since then,” Kappes said.

Kappes describes her girls as “ultra competitive.” Not only are they ranked highly but also nearly all will be headed to compete as student-athletes at Division 1 colleges.

“Soccer is life,” said one of the team’s three captains, Hailey Harbison.

The girls are together for practice three to four times a week, lots of running and hard work.

SHARKS continued from 21 Once they were scored on, Hailey said the Sharks picked up their play and fought back for a 3-2 victory.

They were all happy about the 5-1 final, winning the championship and extending their season to the regionals.

“It just makes us feel so good,” said Gianna. “We get what we deserve because we worked so hard for so many years.”

Coach Kappes is confident in the Sharks’ chances in the Far West Regional later this month. She said her only concern is that weather will be a factor—it will be 100 degrees at 8 a.m.

The girls are more than willing to prepare, even if it means toting big jugs of water to school to get hydrated a week and a half before

the tournament.

As long as they can beat the heat, they can focus on beating the rest of tournament field. Shelby said it’s a challenge because a target is on their back as state champs, but they believe in their team.

“I like how we compete,” Kappes said. “They don’t like to lose so they’re just going to give it their all.”

HOW BLACK MOUNTAIN BICYCLES HAS HELPED

KEEP SAN DIEGO ROLLING FOR 39 YEARS.

Since 1973, Black Mountain Bicycles has been helping to keep San Diegans lean and green atop two wheels.

From kids’ bikes and commuters to pro-grade mountain and road bikes, Black Mountain Bicycles offers the selection people want with the service and repair staff to keep customers rolling. Bank of America has supported Black Mountain Bicycles for 15 years — most recently with financing and a business line of credit that enabled expansion into a larger, more accessible location off I-15 and Mira Mesa Boulevard. It’s a small-business success story that’s not only helping a popular business expand to better serve its customers — it’s also creating new jobs and spurring local economic growth.

Black Mountain Bicycles 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.

Local Rotarian meets Afghanistan President Karzai •Former attorney has dedicated life to health, education efforts

BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET

Author Simon Sebag Montefiore with recognized student writers Amber Gallant, Theresa Bui and Cassandra Go. Photo/Rob McKenzie

Accomplished author advises aspiring writers to find a unique niche

BY JOE TASH Don’t “agonize” over the start of a piece of writing, but instead just get it written, a best-selling author recently told three local high school students. Once the first draft is completed, the author said, the writer can polish the beginning. “All writing is about re-writing,” he said.

Writer and historian Simon Sebag Montefiore dispensed the advice before his talk at the monthly meeting of the Rancho Santa Fe Literary Society on May 18 at the Grand Del Mar hotel. Montefiore was on hand to discuss his latest book, “Jerusalem,” a history of the Middle Eastern holy city, and the students were winners of an essay contest sponsored by the Literary Society.

Montefiore, 46, of London, used his time with the students to lay out a half-dozen writer’s rules. He advised students that if they come up with a brilliant idea, not to share it with anyone. “In literature, like in espionage, careless talk can cost lives.”

In 1991, Montefiore told the students, he traveled to the Caucasus, a region bordering Europe and Asia, which includes the Russian separatist enclave of Chechnya, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and parts of Iran and Turkey. At the time, Montefiore said, few other Western reporters worked in the area, and newspapers ranging from the New York Times to the Times of London were eager to publish his stories, even though he was not an established journalist.

“That led to my whole career, that first trip,” said Montefiore, who has written several historical volumes and one novel, all about either Russia or the Middle East.

“Find some wrinkle in the weird material of the world no one else knows about.”

The students, accompanied by their parents and teachers, sat on sofas and upholstered chairs around Montefiore in the hotel’s spacious lobby. Montefiore, a compact man with close-cropped light-brown hair and blue eyes, wore a white button-down shirt, a Navy sport jacket and dark slacks.

U.S. President Barack Obama made headlines recently when he met with Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai to discuss NATO’s withdrawal from the strifetorn country within the next two years. There’s also a local man who had a memorable meeting recently with Karzai, but the discussion this time was focused on a different war — the eradication of polio.

Longtime Del Mar resident Steve Brown has amassed numerous accomplishments in Afghanistan under the La Jolla Golden Triangle Rotary, ranging in areas from education to health to technology. But one of the greatest feats he’s been a part of is Rotary’s polio immunization effort that’s amounted to more than $1 billion raised, which has helped eliminate polio in all but three countries since 1987. One of those countries is Afghanistan, and Brown met with Karzai in April to discuss how to get that country crossed off the list.

“Karzai said what we need to do is get the religious leaders more involved

Steve Brown (far left) joins Rotary International President Kalyan Banjaree of India (left center) in a meeting with Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai (right center). Brown, of Del Mar, helped facilitate the meeting, which focused on eradicating polio.

Brown’s involvement in Afghanistan began soon after 9/11, when he made a personal promise to do his part in making another attack less likely. He stepped down as a partner and attorney at San Diego’s oldest firm, Luce, Forward, Hamilton & Scripps, to work fulltime as a volunteer Rotarian.

“I pay for an office, but I’m only doing service work,” said Brown, who spends his days corresponding about various projects with those on the other side of the world via Skype and email. “I spend more time Steve Brown and Fary Mioni stand with children who on this type of thing than I attend a Rotary school they helped build in ever did practicing law.”

major efforts, which he spearheaded with fellow local Rotarian Fary Mioni, was building a school in Jalalabad that houses more than 4,000 children.

He’s made 12 trips to Afghanistan to meet with representatives of the school and assess their needs. He said it’s important to make the trip for moral support, however, he has not been able to go there for two years.

“The school is in an area that’s now considered highly insecure … It’s dangerous, and I don’t want to put the school at risk if we were to go there,” he said, adding that it’s widely known in Jalalabad that the school is built by Americans.

“The situation is probably not going to change for a while. The place is crawling with Taliban.”

Brown said education has been his primary focus in Afghanistan, and he’s made great strides at the Nangarhar University, located just outside Jalalabad.

He’s created a female dormitory and a satellite-based computer lab there, and he’s also brought numerous professors to San Diego on exchanges.

He has also connected an Afghani man who owns a CT scan machine to a doctor at the University of California, San Diego, and put in place technology to send imagery from Jalalabad to La Jolla.

“The doctor said he knows in the last six months he’s saved more lives in Afghanistan than he’s saved in his 30 years of practice,” Brown said.

Brown has taken on the role of finding funding from various sources and making good use of funding that has been made available to Afghanistan. He has found that this is no small feat.

Group helps residents live in balance with wildlife

BY LINDA HUTCHISON Living as we do in San Diego County, homes sprawled from ocean to desert, around canyons, lagoons and bays, it’s not surprising we share space with much wildlife. Most of us are used to waking up to songbirds, watching hummingbirds hover in our gardens or gulls swoop down from high wires. And we are not always surprised when we open our front doors to see an opossum on the porch. But what do we do if we find abandoned baby rabbits in the garage or an injured animal or bird in the driveway?

We can turn to Project Wildlife, an organization that has been helping San Diegans live in balance with wildlife for 40 years. What started in 1972 as a husband and wife team rescuing wild animals in Alpine and training others to do the same has since grown into one of the largest non-profit wildlife rehabilitation organizations in the United States.

The group takes care of approximately 10,000 animals a year from more than 320 different species here in San Diego County, which is one of the most biologically di-

Project Wildlife now includes a full-time staff of nine, a part-time staff of 2025 veterinary technicians, and approximately 525 volunteers who do everything from office work and educational outreach to transport-

ing and caring for animals, cleaning cages and running rehabilitation centers in their homes. The organization operates two triage centers where San Diego residents can drop off injured or abandoned animals. The North County center in Carlsbad is open only from mid-April to mid-September, the busiest time of the year, when most baby animals are born. The central center, at 887½ Sherman St., off Morena Boulevard, is open year ‘round.

After being admitted, each animal is examined and stabilized, given water and food if necessary. If it is a bird, it stays at the center, where care can include incubation and round-the-clock feeding for neo-natals, until the birds are ready for larger cages and, finally, release back into the wild. About 80 percent of the animals brought to the center are birds; the most common are the house finch, the house sparrow, and the mourning dove.

A real La Jolla gem: Caroline’s Seaside Cafe

BY KELLEY CARLSON ear the Scripps Pier, just above the sparkling blue Pacific, is the “green” Caroline’s Seaside Cafe.

Located on the eco-friendly UC San Diego campus, the restaurant — named for major Scripps supporter Caroline Nierenberg — offers organic, fair trade foods, and supports local businesses and farmers.

“You know you’re eating the best ingredients we can possibly find,” owner/chef Giuseppe Ciuffa said.

The ingredients are assembled into breakfast, brunch and lunch dishes that are listed on electronic screenboards displayed above the front counter rather than on printed menus, cutting down on the restaurant’s paper use.

The morning menu contains healthful items such as Caroline’s Parfait with layers of mixed berries, organic vanilla yogurt and homemade granola; and specialties including the popular Housemade Buttermilk Pancakes, which can be garnished with blueberries, bananas or chocolate chips for an extra charge. About a half-dozen dishes are created from farm-fresh eggs, including the All-American Scramble with white cheddar and applewood bacon.

Soups, salads, sandwiches and burgers comprise the midday selections. One option is the Farmer’s Grilled Cheese, featuring

This week: ■ Caroline’s Pancakes spring garlic-goat cheese spread, cheddar, grilled tomatoes and spinach between slices of sourdough bread. Ciuffa recommends the Chopped Salad, in which the ingredients vary by season. Currently, it’s a colorful mixture of corn, cucumbers, tomatoes, avocado, romaine, feta, carrots and a citrus vinaigrette. Top it with a protein such as salmon, and add a few drops from a bottle of O’Brother That’s Hot! organic jalapeno pepper sauce.

While there are plenty of healthful options, there are also “naughty” choices on the menu, Cuiffa said. One example is hamburgers — although they are made from hormone-free ground beef.

The combination of casual food selections and a laid-back atmosphere — with views

Housemade Buttermilk Pancakes topped with blueberries. spanning from Black’s Beach to the Cove — draws a variety of people. There are UCSD students and professors, families with children, surfers in wetsuits, beachgoers in shorts and flip-flops, and ladies with Louis Vuitton bags. All of them find common ground at Caroline’s, as they walk up to the counter, place an order, and wait for the staff to bring their food. Music ranging from Latin jazz to dance/techno and popular styles can be heard in the background.

Some patrons settle in the main dining room, with its clean-cut, modern decor inspired by the ocean. The green and blue backsplash around the counter area is reminiscent of waves, with contemporary, pure-white furniture symbolizing the caps.

There are very few visual distractions, as

guests are able to gaze outside at the shores through large, glass panes.

Other patrons sit outside on the terrace, an idyllic spot during a sunny day with a cool breeze. Many of them enjoy meals; some kick back with a beer, margarita or Bloody Mary.

Families with energetic kids will often set up in the grassy area at the bottom of Caroline’s stairs and let their little ones burn energy while having a picnic. Parents can choose fare for their youngsters from the children’s menu.

Some guests take their food down a few extra steps to the beach. “Relax, eat, enjoy and just realize how lucky we are to be where we live,” Ciuffa said.

A note about parking: The lot closest to Caroline’s — which is near the Scripps Seaside Forum — is reserved for the university during the week, but it’s fair game for everyone on the weekends. If it’s difficult to find a spot, one option is to park at La Jolla Shores and walk about 10 to 15 minutes along the beach, toward the pier, to the Caroline’s staircases.

A time of day that is typically calm is the morning during a weekday. It’s magical, Ciuffa said — the sun has just risen, it’s not quite hot, and there aren’t many people.

“Have an early breakfast when it’s quiet and watch the day start,” Ciuffa said.

Local resident’s Coffique line of holders alleviates challenges for single-serve coffee drinkers

BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley resident Sean Rones has invented a product he hopes will provide a sleek and chic alternative for storing single cup coffee maker K-Cup packs. Named Coffique, the product is a stylish counter-top holder that sits directly under a Kuerig K-Cup machine.

QVC has been the first to jump on Rones’ product (patent pending) and he has been able to secure positive meetings with Bloomingdales and Macy’s in New York.

“To get appointments is very difficult, especially when it’s a new product and a single skew product,” said Rones, who will also meet with Williams & Sonoma and a few Canadian retailers.

Once vendor agreements are signed, Rones expects his product to sell well as he thinks there’s nothing else like it on the market. Adding to his confidence is the fact that Kuerig has sold 2.3 billion K-Cups and over Natalie Rones is happy with her husband Sean’s 20 million machines since 2005. solution for her Kuerig K-Cup. Courtesy photo “This sector is going to see explosive growth,” said Rones. “This could be the one in 10 product that makes it.”

His children, Talia, 5, and Jaden, 7, have been excited about dad’s Coffique invention succeeding, hoping it means a vacation to Cabo.

The invention came about as his family was seeking solutions to their K-Cup storage woes. Sean and his wife, Natalie, got their Kuerig last year after she looked at his year-end statement and noticed he’d spent $1,100 on Starbucks. The single-cup coffee maker uses small packets of coffee that look like creamers and they’ve got to be stored somewhere.

First, Rones bought a holder that took up too much counter space.

“Every time you pulled a cup out, it left a void and my wife, being a perfectionist, kept saying I needed to put one back in and it was driving me crazy,” Rones said.

It also kind of looked like a spice rack and their kitchen already had too many “gadgety”-looking items on the counter that didn’t match the décor.

The second holder Rones bought solved the space issue but was unattractive and looked like office equipment.

“That one never made it to the kitchen counter,” Rones said.

After the second failure, Rones, who has a background in manufacturing other products and designs for third-party companies, made a joke that maybe he should design a custom one.

“At that point the light still didn’t go on in my head. Then my wife came home with a business magazine and I read about how many units Kuerig has sold and how popular the Kuerig brand is,” Rones said.

“The light finally went on.”

Rones said he was additionally inspired by the movie “Moneyball,” about Billy Beane, a Mt. Carmel High School alum — as is Rones.

“Seeing him put it all on the line and do something different inspired me because I was thinking, I’m 46 and there’s not many job opportunities out there,” Rones said. “That’s when I really thought I

could make this idea into a reality.”

In engineering the product, Rones went after what his wife was looking for, something design-centric with a highend aesthetic.

He wanted a simple functionality — when you open the drawer there is a turning carousel that makes it easy to find a selection. The carousel is hidden so no need to refill an empty spot.

The Coffique also goes underneath the Kuerig machine, acting as somewhat of a stand so it doesn’t take up any additional counter space.

Rones hopes to continue his entrepreneurship in the coffee biz—when Kuerig’s patent is up, he’d like to look into making his own line of single-serve coffee K-cups.

To celebrate, that 11-day Cabo trip is booked for the summer.

Gypsy Doll Boutique partners with International Bipolar Foundation for fundraising event On June 6, the newest boutique in La Jolla will hold a trunk show showcasing their jewelry, evening clutches and clothing. The Gypsy Doll Boutique, owned by Sabah Parker, opened its doors to the public just a few weeks ago, but her jewelry is not new to those flocking to her store. Sabah formerly owned a wholesale shop on Fay Street, but with the urging of her clients, opened two retail shops across from each other in the courtyard on Prospect St. across from George’s.

Bijou Amani, the jewelry label, is a mainstay in any girl’s jewelry box. Ask Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lopez, Oprah and the Desperate Housewives, all of whom own this line.

Shoppers will have an opportunity to see the entire wholesale line (not usually offered at the boutique), as well as evening clutches and fashionable clothing. Those who want to stop by before going to dinner can indulge in a glass of wine and sample hors d’oeuvres catered by La Dolce Vita Ristorante next door. For the first 20 clients to spend a minimum of $500, there will be a drawing to receive $1,000 shopping spree at the store. If Sabah weren’t already generous enough, she will also be donating 20 percent back from sales to the International Bipolar Foundation. Guests do need to register for this shopping extravaganza and will be rewarded with a free parking pass and discount coupons for area restaurants. Please contact Ashley at areitzin@InternationalBipolarFoundation.org or call 858764-2496. For more information, go to: www.InternationalBipolarFoundation.org.

Using GPS technology to treat Prostate Cancer If you have prostate cancer, or know someone who does, you need to know about Calypso, from Varian. It’s a type of “GPS for the body” that focuses radiation treatment directly on the tumor and not on the healthy tissue around it. The result is cancer treatment that’s powerful, highly accurate... and, as a recent clinical study proves, produces significantly fewer side effects.

Before you consider radiation treatment for prostate cancer, find out about Calypso at Genesis Healthcare, San Diego’s most experienced prostate cancer specialists. The Genesis multidisciplinary team offers you the latest technology, the most innovative treatment options, and truly compassionate care.

AUTHOR continued from page B1 Academy, and Cassandra Go, a senior at La Jolla Country Day School, tied for second place and each won $500. The contest and the Literary Society are sponsored by Northern Trust, the Rancho Santa Fe Community Center and this newspaper.

In an interview with a reporter from this newspaper before he met the students, Montefiore said he was on a multi-city tour to promote his book that included stops in Las Vegas, Desert Springs, La Jolla, Beverly Hills and Santa Barbara, along with his talk at the Grand Del Mar. “I love America and I love being here,” he said.

Montefiore, who is Jewish, said one reason he wanted to write the book had to do with his own family’s ties to Jerusalem. A great-great-uncle, Moses Montefiore, made many trips to the city, even bringing back dirt from Jerusalem to be used for his own burial plot in England.

He said he also wanted to create a “fresh history” of Jerusalem because of its central role in three of the world’s major religions — Judaism, Christianity and Islam — as well as its prominence in Middle East politics.

The 650-page book covers 5,000 years of history, “from King David to Obama and Osama,” said Montefiore. “It’s bloodthirsty, it’s dramatic and sometimes it’s funny.”

Along with being a historical account, said Montefiore, “You could read it like a mini-series of conquerors, empresses, adventuresses and prophets.”

“It became the holy city because of the Bible,” Montefiore said. “The Bible is the biography of Jerusalem. When the Bible became the universal book of Middle Eastern and West-

ern civilization, Jerusalem came to life for everybody, wherever they were, from Massachusetts to Moscow.”

The connection between America and Jerusalem is particularly strong, said Montefiore, because, “The Founding Fathers were people who absolutely believed in the paramountcy of Jerusalem.”

On the night before his assassination, President Abraham Lincoln spoke of wanting to visit Jerusalem, and the city was also visited by the American writers Mark Twain and Herman Melville, among others, Montefiore said.

Montefiore said he had an American audience in mind when he wrote his book, and the volume seems to have hit its mark — recently, such political luminaries as former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger gave it rave reviews.

A visiting professor at Buckingham University in England, Montefiore often lectures on history and current political topics at schools, universities and conferences.

During his talk at the literary society luncheon, he described how Jerusalem’s population and prominence rose and fell over the years.

“At times it’s been no more than a ruined monumental village with wonderful buildings,” he said.

He described a horrific siege of the town in AD 70

by Titus, son of the Roman emperor, in which thousands died, and the Roman soldiers crucified as many as 500 Jews each day.

Writing the book, he said, was a daunting task, because of Jerusalem’s long and complex history, and the scrutiny and criticism he knew the completed volume would face.

“I barely slept for three years,” he said.

“I realized if I pleased anybody too much, I’d have failed.”

ROTARIAN continued from page B1 “I’ve never found a place that’s easier to raise money for than Afghanistan, and there’s two reasons for this,” Brown said. “One, because the story is fairly well told about the suffering of the Afghan people, especially the suffering of the women under the Taliban.

Two, because the U.S. government has been pouring

tons of money into Afghanistan.”

The possibilities are endless, the results are visible, and he said that’s what keeps him so driven.

“All the time people come to me and say, ‘Here’s a project we’d like to fund.

Can you implement it?’ and it just keeps going,” he said.

WILDLIFE continued from page B2 tion centers, categorized by type of animal (bat, opossum, fox, rabbit, raccoon, skunk, small mammal, hummingbird, raptor (owls, hawks, falcons, etc.), duck, songbird, and sea/shorebirds). The most common mammals brought to the center are the Virginia opossum and the cottontail rabbit.

In the busy season, this can mean as many as 100 animals a day, with people lining up down the street according to Whorley. In the less busy months, the average daily intake is about 1015 animals. The amount of time animals spend recuperating varies from a few days to a few months, with the average being about 12 weeks.

About 40 percent of the animals people bring to the center survive, which is 8 percent above the national average. As soon as they recover, they are released back into their natural habitat, within three miles of where they were found.

As a non-profit organization, with an annual budget of $1.3 million, Project Wildlife relies on its volunteers and donations. In

2011, its volunteers contributed approximately 80,000 hours, according to Whorley. The organization also brings in money from two of its services: wildlife extraction (helping people remove animals safely and humanely) and educational outreach programs for schools, scouting, and other groups.

Project Wildlife’s educational program won the third annual ECO Ambassadors People’s Choice Awards last year sponsored by The San Diego River Park Foundation, SDG&E, and KFMBTV Channel 8. This support and positive feedback from the community was very gratifying, according to Whorley.

And the more we can learn about living in balance with wild animals the better, said Whorley.

One common misunderstanding is that baby birds or animals have been abandoned if they are alone.

Some mammals only check on their young every 12 hours, so it is best to wait.

Some birds are fledglings learning to fly and can be put back in their nest or a makeshift nest. Another misunderstanding is that opossums are dangerous or dirty. “People think they are a nuisance or that they have rabies but that’s not true.

They clean up rodents, insects, snails, fruit and garbage and are good to have around,” said Whorley.

Sampson California Realty supports Wounded Warrior Homes Motorcycle Ride Fundraiser Diane and Joseph Sampson, owners of Sampson California Realty, have strong connections to this country’s armed forces. Joseph Sampson was a prior Marine and Diane Sampson’s son is currently a ROTC Officer Select at George Washington University.

In honor of the men and women who protect this country’s freedom, Diane Sampson joined the Board of Directors for Wounded Warrior Homes, a not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping medically discharged soldiers with traumatic brain injuries and post-traumatic stress disorder. Wounded Warrior Homes’ mission is to provide affordable housing, hands-on resources, and a defined path for soldiers to transition from active-duty military service to independent living as a veteran of foreign wars.

“A home is one of the simplest, yet most essential items in our lives. It is a comfort and a hideaway at the end of a long day – a place to call your own, a sign of independence. For the men and women who serve our country who have Traumatic Brain Injury, the independence we so easily take for granted is just outside of their reach,” said a Wounded Warrior Homes representative.

“Providing homes for these brave men and women can help them begin a new life once they are out of the hospital programs and nursing homes,” said Diane Sampson.

As part of Diane Sampson’s work with Wounded Warrior Homes, Sampson California Realty will be supporting the Wounded Warrior Homes Warrior’s Code Poker Ride, a motorcycle ride fundraiser on Saturday, June 2, at Southbay Motorsports in Chula Vista. With 2,000-3,000 attendees anticipated, the event will feature live music, including the Amazing Band Cathouse Thursday, down-home BBQ and a Motorcycle Stunt Show by Kane “Insane” Friesen. It promises to be an amazing day, supporting a worthwhile cause!
