From public financing to community integration and benefits, the Del Mar City Council on June 4 discussed the various topics of concern that resulted from the more than 70 comment letters sent to the city regarding the Draft Village Specific Plan. The comment period lasted from March 19 to

May 4, and involved weekly tabling by city officials at the Del Mar Farmers Market, as well as meetings at residents’ homes. While various questions have been raised, a number of residents have shared opinions with the City Council and the majority of feedback at the meetings has been highly praising, even if constructive.

Roberts said he is thrilled that in less than five months he was able to catch up with the front-runner, Danon, whose campaign spans more than two years. “We believe our message caught on, and people were looking for a true com-

SD County Fair offers a variety of new treats, attractions BY JOE TASH The good news is that some of the food booths at this year’s San Diego County Fair, which starts Friday, June 8, will be offering healthier fare for those counting calories or watching their cholesterol. But the better news for everyone else is that a fairgrounds tradition of frying anything that can be speared on a stick will continue full throttle this year. Deep-fried peanut butter-and-jelly sandwiches and Trix cereal are the newest entries in the artery clogging demolition derby that is the fair’s collection of food con-

cessions. Too light for your taste? How about chicken fried steak on a stick? And don’t forget the cured meats. “Bacon, bacon and more bacon” is the watchword, according to Donna Ruhm, fairgrounds concessions manager. One food booth (located near the infield bridge) will offer tur-

DM Council voices concerns about One Paseo BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET

The Del Mar City Council on June 4 ratified a letter to be sent to the City of San Diego raising concerns regarding “inappropriate densities” of the One Paseo project and the adverse effects those densities will have on traffic and visual character of the community. One Paseo is a proposed mixed-use development for the nearly 24-acre site at the corner of Del

Mar Heights Road and El Camino Real in Carmel Valley. The project includes construction of about 1.8 million gross square feet of development containing multi-family residential units, commercial space, office space and a 150room hotel. Internal roadways and more than 4,000 parking spaces would be included and, as proposed, buildings would reach up to 10 stories in height. The letter is in response to the recent release

of a project Draft Environmental Impact Report (DEIR), which found that the project would significantly impact the surrounding area in terms of transportation, circulation, parking and character. According to the DEIR, these impacts would not be mitigated to a level that would be “less than significant.” Del Mar is requesting additional traffic assessment, associated mitigation

“Basking” by Brad Petersen “Bells Ringing in the Sunshine” by Houston M. Burnside Construction is currently underway to upgrade the building where a Chipotle Mexican Grill restaurant will open in Carmel Valley at the end of June.

Chipotle Mexican Grill to open in Carmel Valley A Chipotle Mexican Grill restaurant will open at the end of June at the old location of the Pat & Oscar’s Carmel Valley restaurant (3881 Valley Centre Drive, San Diego, 92130). Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc. is a chain of restaurants in the United States, United Kingdom, and Canada specializing in burritos and tacos, founded by Steve Ells in 1993 and based in Denver, Colorado. Ellis “started Chipotle with the idea that food served fast did not have to be a typical fast food experience. Today, Chipotle continues to offer a focused menu of burritos, tacos, burrito bowls (a burrito without the tortilla) and salads made from fresh, high-quality raw ingredients, prepared using classic cooking methods and served in a distinctive atmosphere.” For more information, visit www.Chipotle.com.

Despite last-minute space issues, Canyon Crest Academy seniors able to attend prom Toward the end of last week, as the Canyon Crest Academy June 2 junior-senior prom approached, it appeared many students would not be able to attend the event as the demand for tickets exceeded the venue capacity. Canyon Crest Academy Principal Brian Kohn said that, traditionally, there have been about 300 tickets sold for the junior-senior prom, so a space was booked to accommodate that number. But this year, at the last minute, suddenly about 200 seniors wanted to buy tickets and found it was sold out. So the event organizers asked the hotel to expand the room size. Initially the hotel said it could not do that, but by Thursday the hotel said they were able to add another space to the booked room, and could accommodate 500 people, up from 300, Kohn said. Meanwhile, the school offered juniors $20 to sell back their prom tickets – Kohn said about a dozen students accepted that offer. But after the hotel found more space, the school was able to accommodate all the seniors who wanted to go. Juniors were prohibited from buying new tickets, so there were some juniors who weren’t able to attend the event. About 490 tickets were ultimately sold and every senior was able to attend the prom, Kohn said. — Staff report

New taxicab law adopted in Del Mar

Police nab fleeing motorcyclist in CV According to witnesses, a motorcyclist fleeing from police crashed as he rounded the corner of Valley Center Drive and Carmel Creek Road into oncoming traffic on June 2, about 12:45 p.m. Witnesses said the driver narrowly missed several cars on the wrong side of the road as he skidded and fell off the motorcycle. San Diego police, pursuing with sirens blaring, appeared seconds later, ordering the rider to the ground and subduing him until three other police units arrived less than a minute later, witnesses said. The rider did not appear to be injured. Photo/Frank Berry

AUCTION

The Del Mar City Council on June 4 adopted into law an ordinance that sets stricter regulations for taxicab drivers. Random checks, driver appearance guidelines and incentives for environmentally- friendly vehicles are just a few elements of the ordinance. Questions arose regarding the requirement that all cabs have GPS systems, however, the council still followed through with the final reading. “We have a good ordinance in front of you, and we don’t want to delay this item,” Mayor Carl Hilliard said. The city will be working with North County Yellow Cab CEO Mike Casey to address one of his concerns, that drivers will have to provide their own GPS devices until he equips all his cars with new data terminals. He said police have advised drivers to display windshield-mountable GPS devices on the right side of the windshield, which hinders the passenger from being able to see the screen like the new ordinance requires. — Claire Harlin

Martin Luther King’s influence on Del Mar man’s life reflected in book BY JOE TASH Ben Kamin has always felt a spiritual connection to slain civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., which has spanned his life from his teens in Cincinnati to his adulthood in Del Mar. King’s message, said Kamin, has inspired his work as a rabbi, author and jourBen Kamin nalist. “His life and his death and his impact on me and my friends in the ‘60s… have never left me,” said Kamin, whose eighth and latest book, “Room 306: The National Story of the Lorraine Motel” was published in April by Michigan State University Press. The balcony in front of the Memphis motel’s Room 306 was the spot where an assassin’s bullet cut down King at age 39 on April 4, 1968. King had been in town to support a strike by black sanitation workers. His murder triggered riots in Memphis and dozens of other cities across the country. Kamin’s book is an oral history, supported by interviews of many people close to the story, of how the Lorraine Motel was transformed after King’s assassination into the National Civil Rights Museum, which attracts some 200,000 visitors each year. In the book’s introduction, Kamin said the “Lorraine Motel, one of the only places where black people could even lodge in the city, nondescript, unattractive, with mustard-yellow and blue walls, railings, and a second-story balcony, was a cinder-block inn set in a district of flophouses, pimps and undercover police lookout posts.” Because African-Americans were unwelcome in hotels that catered to whites, the Lorraine hosted black jazz and blues musicians, athletes from Negro League ballplayers to the Harlem Globetrotters, and gospel preachers, Kamin wrote. It was also the place where King preferred to stay, particularly in Room 306, when he was in Memphis. After his death, King’s room was left untouched, with beds unmade, ashtrays unemptied, and its rotary dial telephone and black-and-white TV set with rabbit ear antennas left in place. Following King’s assassination, the motel fell on hard times, and was almost lost to foreclosure before a group of activists and philanthropists purchased the property and turned it into a museum. Kamin said he became interested in the

museum while researching his previous book, a memoir of his high school days, and his search, decades later, to find an African-American friend from his youth. Kamin said he launched that book, “Nothing Like Sunshine,” from the museum in April, 2010, and he returned in April of this year to launch the new book. “It’s the real center of memory and commitment for the movement (King) inspired, so it’s powerful,” said Kamin of the motel-turned-museum. “Memphis is about more than Elvis. It’s about civil rights and jazz and great ribs, but the Civil Rights Museum is a center-piece of the rebirth of Memphis,” he said. In 2008, he said, three major-party presidential candidates — John McCain, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama — visited the museum. Kamin, 59, was born in Israel and immigrated to the United States with his family in 1962, when he was 9. The topic of civil rights has long been one of his primary interests. Along with books, he has written hundreds of op-ed articles for publications ranging from the New York Times to the Cleveland Plain-Dealer. Kamin also has led congregations in San Diego, Toronto, New York and Cleveland since his ordination as a rabbi in 1978. In 2004, he and his wife, Audrey, co-founded Reconciliation: A Synagogue Without Walls, which is a privately operated consulting agency for interfaith relations. In that capacity, Kamin said, he helps couples design wedding ceremonies incorporating aspects of the Jewish faith as well as other traditions. “Love is the best religion of them all,” he said. Kamin has two grown daughters from a previous marriage, and he lives in Del Mar with his wife and two stepchildren. A book-signing event will be held for “Room 306” from noon to 2 p.m. on Sunday, July 1, at Warwick’s bookstore, 7812 Girard Ave., La Jolla. The book is currently available at Amazon.com and will be in bookstores later this summer, Kamin said.

FAIR continued from page 1 key legs wrapped in a full pound of bacon — called the “Caveman Turkey Club.” Ruhm and other fairgrounds staff gave a preview of what to expect during this year’s county fair at Tuesday’s meeting of the 22nd District Agricultural Association board. The gates officially open at 11 a.m. on Friday, for a 24-day run through July 4. This year’s run will include two more days than in 2011, and fairgrounds officials are hoping for recordbreaking attendance of more than 1.5 million, said Linda Zweig, fairgrounds spokeswoman. Last year, 1.412 million guests passed the fair’s turnstiles. Admission will be $13 for adults, the same as last year, but according to Zweig, many options exist for fairgoers to avoid paying full price for tickets. On open-

ing day and Tuesday, June 12, $4 discount tickets will be available at Albertson’s stores with a minimum $10 purchase. And for people not satisfied with one — or two or three — visits can buy a run-of-the-fair pass for $24. This year will also be the last that smoking will be allowed on the fairgrounds; four designated smoking areas will be available, down from five smoking areas last year. At its meeting in May, the fair board voted to ban smoking completely starting with the 2013 fair. Ruhm said 82 rides will be offered at this year’s fair, along with 60 midway games. Revenue goals are $7 million from rides and $14 million in food sales, Ruhm said. Fairgoers will be able to peruse and buy merchandise from 500 vendor booths set up in various locations on the fairgrounds. Special exhibits on space exploration and astronomy and “Area Fifty-

Fun,” devoted to popular culture about space aliens, will be tied to the theme of this year’s fair, “Out of this World.” Visitors can take photos at an alien crash site set up on the infield. For the first time, a wine festival will be held on Saturday, June 9, from 1-5 p.m. The San Diego International Beer Festival will be back with five sessions running from June 22-24. Also new to the fair will be an exhibit titled “Our Body: The Universe Within,” which will be open every day of the fair in the Surfside Race Place. A separate $7 admission fee is required. Last week, fairgrounds officials announced a new service called the “shopper shuttle,” a van that will carry visitors from the fairgrounds to Del Mar and Solana Beach and back, each day during the fair’s run from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. During its run, the fair will be closed every Monday except July 2.

continued from page 1 and that a project of similar land use be studied at much less density. The letter states that One Paseo, as proposed, is “overly ambitious” in its attempt to become a “community village.” It also points out that congestion on Del Mar Heights Road may impact Coast Highway and Camino del Mar, so the EIR would expand its study area to include those routes. The letter also states that One Paseo traffic will impact the nearly 3,000 staff, students and parents of the Torrey Pines High School community. The letter also suggested exploring less dense alternatives. “This project would create an island of urbanization in a community of relatively low-scale development,” the letter states. “The project would not be so much of a village but an over-intensified mixed-use development that would be located in an area of existing high vehicle traffic and minimal planned mass transit opportunities for the thousands of people who would be coming and going from corporate, retail, residential and hotel uses on a daily basis.”

COMMENT continued from page 1 The Village Specific Plan consists of road, pedestrian and streetscape improvements totaling up to $5.5 million and a parking structure that would cost $5.7 million. In general, most comments shared by the community have dealt with how the projects would be funded with respect to residents, the city and businesses, according to a city staff report. There have also been questions raised about the types of fees that would be required, the timing of the development and the impact of construction on business activity. There are two main financing sources for Village revitalization: bank financing and TransNet bonds. The city secures $178,000 per year in TransNet revenue. After tapping into bond money, the city estimates about $125,000 will be used from the city’s general fund. Additional funding sources could include parking in-lieu fees, paid by businesses that are not meeting the parking requirements outlined by the city, and traffic impact fees, which “allow growth to pay for growth,” said Assistant City Manager Mark Delin. A traffic impact fee is an assess-

The District 3 Supervisor seat will be vacated at the end of the year by Pam Slater-Price, who endorsed Roberts, a Democrat.

ment imposed by the city on new development projects to help fund traffic improvements. The City Council approved $10,000 for a traffic impact fee and parking inlieu fee study, and further discussion will follow the study. Parking meters are also a potential funding source, Delin said. Del Mar hasn’t seen paid parking on Camino del Mar in 30 years, but he pointed out that the meters near Seagrove Park bring in about $20 each a day. Planning and Community Development Director Kathy Garcia agreed in particular with one concern of the community — that the draft report did not clearly outline the benefits of the project. So, she clarified those benefits, which range from increasing pedestrian safety to adding housing choices and additional parking. A presentation by Delin also pointed out that walkable communities create value for nearby residents and increase city revenues, making it possible for the city to spend more on public safety, maintenance and amenities like parks and recreation centers. Garcia said she will revise the plan to clarify the community benefits, and discuss potential community benefits for the future.

When it comes to construction, the city estimates the effects to be minimal. Delin said businesses should not have to close “except under the most extreme situations” and, if so, the city will compensate. He added that there will be a tight and limited construction schedule, sidewalks will be maintained during construction, and businesses will be provided with additional sales opportunities, such as tent sales on city property, to offset any impacts. Other concerns included lack of clarity on community benefits, parking impacts, noise, height, bulk, mass and property value impacts. Resident Tom McGrail said when he thinks about 140 new residential units, the amount proposed in the plan, it seems excessive for a six-block radius. Deputy Mayor Terry Sinnott said the city must be conservative in dipping into capital funds. He also said he is not sold on the idea of a traffic impact fee, adding that he wants to be careful about imposing new costs on businesses and potential businesses. “Let’s remember what we are trying to do and who we are trying to motivate here,” he said.

The Board of Supervisors has not seen a new member for 16 years, but now that term limits have recently been implemented, Slater-Price’s successor will lead the way over the next decade as there will be turnover on the board. Hilliard’s campaign manager, K.B. Forbes, said Hilliard called Roberts and Danon on the morning of June 6 to wish them a congratulations. “We did the best we could, but the results have come in and we congratulate our opponents,” he said. As of press time for this newspaper, Carmel Valley resident Ray Ellis garnered 45 percent of the vote for the San Diego City Council District 1 seat, and will see incumbent Sherri Lightner in the general election. Lightner received 41 percent of the vote. San Diego City Councilman Carl DeMaio won 32 percent of the vote in the race for San Diego Mayor, followed by U.S. Rep. Bob Filner with 30 percent, as of press time. In the 52nd U.S. Congressional district race, Rep. Brian Bilbray, R-Solana Beach, will run off against Scott Peters in November. As of press time, Peters received 22.58 percent of the vote, barely finishing ahead of Lori Saldana, who got 21.98 percent of the vote.

Local residents truck unwanted treasures, build homes in Mexico BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET

Mary Faller and Michael Clayton are like the Salvation Army of Solana Beach. Or at least that’s what they’ve been called. The two local residents drive around to construction sites, garages sales and the like picking up unwanted items — some hidden gems — and they each take an entire truckload down to Mexico to donate to those in less fortunate communities. Clayton goes on Tuesdays and Faller goes on Thursdays. And they do this once a week. “It’s a joy for me. It has so many dimensions because we are helping people and the environment. We are taking down truckloads of things that would have ended up in the landfill,” said Faller, who pays import fees of up to $100 each week out-of-pocket. Clayton recently was awarded a grant through The Wheel Foundation to help with the fees. Much of the items delivered contribute to home builds, which Faller also helps facilitate. Under the Unitarian Fellowship in Solana Beach, she connects people interested in volunteering and helps them raise the money for homes,

Mary Faller, center, has orchestrated more than 16 home builds in Mexico. COURTESY which cost about $4,000 each to build. In April, for example, three sixth-grade classes from Skyline Elementary School raised money to build two homes through bake sales, a parents’ night out event and charity “fun run.” Although the project wasn’t schoolsanctioned, about 65 kids and parents went with Faller to build the homes. Faller got behind home build projects for the first time about 15 years ago when she participated in a home build as part of a yearly service project of her husband’s employer, Flextronics. She loved the project, but she thought there should be some kind of follow-up with the families in need

that move into the homes. “I felt there was such a greater need and I see all the resources here in Solana Beach and the desire to give, but people aren’t really sure who to give to,” she said. In 2006, Faller embarked on her first independent home build project, and she has since spearheaded about 16 homes and one community center, all in the same community nestled in the countryside 30 minutes from Tijuana. Faller has developed a close, trusting relationship with the Mexican community there, and the community members help her pick out which families are next in line to get a home. The requirements are that the family is in need, has chil-

dren and owns land. “We don’t want to build on someone else’s land and [then have the family lose the home],” she said, adding that much of the land there is developed by the Mexican government and sold as low-income land. There is usually no water or sewage on these parcels. One home built recently was for a family of six that was living in a minivan, Faller said. Faller is well-received in the Baja community and has not experienced the dangers of Tijuana that are often reported in the news, she said. “Where we go, it’s a neighborhood just like Solana Beach,” she said. “They all know my truck and I’m really well-protected … I had a flat tire once there and within minutes there were people there to help me. It’s one of the most loving environments you can imagine.” Clayton became involved with transporting materials to Mexico after meeting Faller and becoming attached to her cause. Clayton had a stroke three years ago at the age of 37, and becoming involved in the efforts has been helpful in his recovery. The weekly

Local attorney helps family recover from devastating loss BY JULIE SARNO You might wonder if there’s a story behind the inscription on the bench at 15th Street in front of L’Auberge which reads, “Given by the County of San Diego and the Villalpando Family, In loving memory of Ryan, Veronica, Mateo and Bella Rose.” There is a story, a tragic one, but the family behind the story has an enduring spirit which is healing. Del Mar attorney and Solana Beach resident Bing I. Bush, Jr. paid to donate the bench in honor of a family he has become very close to. Bush represented Eddie and Lisa Villalpando in the wrongful death suit involving their adult son, Ryan, his wife, Veronica, and their two children. Bush was recommended to the Villalpandos by a friend, Duff Tinna, who worked in Del Mar. “The Villalpandos are the closest family I have ever seen,” said Bush, whose law offices have been located in Del Mar for 12 years. On Feb. 13, 2010, Ryan, 32, Veronica, 29, and their children, Mateo, 4, and Bella Rose, seven months, who lived in Redlands, were on their way to deliver Valentine’s Day cards to Ryan’s parents, Eddie and Lisa, and Ryan’s sister, Erikka. Their vehicle, a Honda Pilot, was rear-ended by a Marten Transport trac-

The family of four died at the scene. The California Highway Patrol concluded Marten Transport Ltd., and the Marten driver violated California vehicle code 22350, driving too fast for conditions. Marten Trans-

port vigorously maintained the Villalpando vehicle had rear-ended the tractor trailer in front before being rear-ended by the Marten truck. After Bush presented depositions from more than 40 witnesses and CHP officers, Marten Transport Ltd. settled just before trial for $2,425,000. Another company, Alamilla (not named in the suit), paid $75,000 to resolve any later claim for indemnity.

“Nothing can replace the unimaginable loss that this family has endured,” said Bush. “There is no trial, no appeal, and yet, there is resolution. No economic damages were at issue, and no recovery for decedents was at issue and no recovery for pain and suffering, nor for grieving of the plaintiffs is permitted in California.” The $2.5 million settlement in the Villalpando v. Marten Transport, Ltd., Superior Court of California case was a record for a wrongful death case of its type. In the case, Eddie and Lisa claimed wrongful death damages for the loss of their son and his family. Bush explained the high demand by the closeness of the Villalpando family. Eddie and Lisa fell in love in high school. Their son, Ryan, was born in February of Lisa’s senior year. Their daughter, Erikka, was born five years later. Eddie and Lisa raised their children to value education and sports. Eddie had played football and coached Ryan in soccer, baseball, basketball and football. Ryan played football in college and completed two master’s degrees, a master’s in education and a master’s in educational leadership. Ryan was a teacher and football coach. He met and married Veronica, who was also a school teacher and then the couple had their two chil-

They lived near Ryan’s parents, Eddie and Lisa, and saw one another nearly every day. “I can’t imagine going through this tragedy without Bing,” said Eddie Villalpando. “He took a personal interest in us from the beginning. The holidays are especially difficult for us. He invited us to his home for Thanksgiving and Christmas.” “Eddie and Lisa are very down to earth and they have always lived the family values in spades” said Bush. “When they lost Ryan, Veronica and the kids, Mateo and Bella Rose, they lost nearly everything they had to live for, as they did everything together be-

fore this tragic accident. Now, they are struggling to reinvent themselves with an authentic vulnerability and refusal to become bitter or negative that is truly inspiring.” “We carry this with us wherever we go,” said Eddie Villalpando, “but I know they would not want us to be sad.” “We continue to struggle with this every day,” said Lisa. Eddie, Lisa and Erikka plan to move to the Del Mar area to escape the painful memories of their Redlands’ home. “We’ve got to try to enjoy every moment while we are here — Ryan loved life,” Lisa said.

Del Mar Garden Club bestows Pride of Del Mar Awards BY THE DEL MAR GARDEN CLUB Spring has arrived and with it, the Del Mar Garden Club’s semi-annual walk around the village checking out the store fronts along Camino del Mar. This project, started last May, gives recognition to the business owners who have beautified the front of their shops or offices with a selection of plants. Once again club members viewed a variety of plantings, including succulents, native plants, perennial and seasonal flowers. Also considered was the maintenance of the flower boxes and containers, lack of weeds and condition of the plants and surrounding walkways. As soon as we stopped in front of Real Living Lifestyles Real Estate we were greeted by its manager, Dixie Courtney. Dixie told us the first thing she did when they moved in a month ago was to replace the old worn planters with containers holding colorful red flowers and add new succulents to several beautiful brass pots. Real Living Lifestyles immeRecent winners include Real Living Lifestyles Real diately got our approval. Estate (top) and the Lemon Tree Corner on 11th We also noticed over the past few weeks that landscaping was replaced at the Lemon Tree Corner on 11th Street. The area has a nice refreshed look thanks to owner Gracelyn Peck who does all the gardening herself. We also peeked at the courtyard behind the center and saw how lovely it looked. The owners certainly have pride in their property—another winner! We have to admit our disappointment in seeing lots of weeds, poorly cared for plants and less than stellar storefronts in many areas of the Village. There is a lot of room for improvement. We do give kudos to the following businesses that have consistently kept their properties looking well groomed and inviting to customers. Special recognition goes to Masterpiece Realty, Dexters, Salon Del Mar, Starbucks, Ranch & Coast Spa, Artistic Hair and Frustrated Cowboy. The Garden Club plans to continue to recognize village business owners and will award certificates again next fall. Any questions regarding this project, contact Judim5@aol.com

WHAT’S IN YOUR SPORTS DRINK? by Curtis L. Chan DDS 2. If you do have one of these drinks, try to rinse out your mouth with water to reduce the concentrated acids that they produce around your teeth. 3. Brushing and Flossing is always a great help. 4. Chewing a sugarless gum or a chewing gum product with Xyitol, a natural sweetener which protects your teeth. 5. See your dental team to discuss your risk factors and how you can prevent your teeth from being at risk to these drinks.

consuming these drinks at an alarming rate, without realizing that these drinks can cause harm to their teeth. We even are led to believe that these drinks are better than “soda” since they are more “health” oriented, yet when one breaks down and learns the basics of what makes up these drinks, essentially what is happening is that your teeth are being bathed in acid when you consume them.

In a recent report published in an issue of General Dentistry, a review of clinical findings were disclosed regarding performance and energy drinks. Much of the report has confirmed my exact observations which I have personally witnessed over the past 10 years regarding the effects of sports drinks on my patients. In recent years, I have seen, along with many of my dental colleagues, a rise in the incidence of dental caries especially in adolescents and young adults. With the rise in marketing and the availability of “sports drinks” and their skillfully marketed promise to improve sports performance, energy levels, balance hydration and electrolyte levels...etc..., consumers are

The acidity levels are responsible for eroding tooth enamel, the hard, shiny, white outer surface of the teeth. Once this is compromised, the inner softer dentin can start to decay quite easily, with the tooth cavity making a perfect breeding ground for bacteria. This is what is showing up at higher rates in dental offices today. With high tech diagnostic equipment, dentists today can detect areas early, were the enamel surfaces are compromised. With early detection, your dental team can help you reduce the acid levels which can harm your teeth. We can also put you on a preventative program to reduce your risk levels of becoming a victim of these drinks. One of the best preventative measure one can take in regards to these drinks is to: 1. Reduce or replace the use of these drinks. Water is what your body needs when it is begging for hydration... not an energy sports drink.

Dr. Curtis Chan and his dental team have been helping the community with their dental health for the past 25 years. Their mission has always been to provide excellence in a very caring environment using the latest in dental technology. Dr. Chan is currently finishing up the construction of his new state of the art dental facility which is located conveniently off Interstate 5 freeway, West of the Carmel Valley Road Exit. His relocation to this new Del Mar office (In the Point Del Mar Medical / Dental Arts Plaza) is expected to take place in early July 2012. New patients are always welcomed.

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.

Solana Pacific 5th and 6th grade students earn public speaking graduation diploma What do Gandhi, Marie Curie, Martin Luther King, Abraham Lincoln, Jedi masters, 6th grader campers, and scuba divers have in common? They were the subjects of the inspiring and entertaining speeches delivered at Solana Pacific Elementary School’s recent Speechmasters Graduation program. Speechmasters is based on the Toastmasters International public speaking and leadership program (www.toastmasters.org), but caters to the 8-12 year old. Thirty-five 5th and 6th graders eagerly show up every Friday morning, an hour before school starts, to deliver prepared speeches, give evaluations, and respond extemporaneously to impromptu questions. Each meeting is entirely run by the children, including the Toastmaster (M.C.), Speakers, Evaluators, Table Topics Master, Timer, Vote Counter, Um Counter, and elected officers. Public speaking and leadership competencies are essential skills that can help a child communicate clearly, listen effectively, and think on their feet. For those reasons, Mojgan Amini, and Shannon Peck, Solana Pacific elementary school moms, help run the Speechmasters program at their children’s school. According to Shannon, “Children who learn how to confidently and effectively express themselves will be more influential and successful in both their academic and career pursuits.” “It’s amazing how enthusiastically the students embrace these valuable skills that will add to their success as adults,” states Mojgan. “Toastmasters has been instrumental in my life, and I’m glad these kids are getting a taste of it at an early age.” The 12-week program ended with a graduation ceremony showcasing the participants’ new skills and recognizing their accomplishment on June 1 at the Solana Pacific school auditorium.

Fifth grade student Soumika Guduru, who won second place in State in the Scenario writing competition is invited to the International

Conference to participate in the On-Site Scenario Writing Competition. In this competition, students are randomly assigned to writing teams of three or four students. Teams write a spontaneous scenario based on the International Conference Future Scene. Ocean Air’s teacher Ariella Leeder, who is going to accompany the students to the International Conference, is coaching them for this exciting event. The International Conference features outstanding creative problem solving students from around the world. While the Ocean Air students’ primary focus is the competition, the International Conference also provides them with many unique opportunities. These students will have the chance to meet students from Australia, Great Britain, Hong Kong, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, New Zealand, Portugal, Singapore, South Africa, and most states within the U.S.A. Exciting activities and tours will make the International Conference an experience these students will long remember. More than 2,000 students, coaches, and family members will attend the 2012 International Conference. This year’s International Conference topic for future problem solving competitions is “Pharmaceuticals.”

Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe among settings in suspense thriller BY KATHY DAY If you don’t know Susan Blick, chances are you won’t know just how much of her own life she’s put into her new book “Borrowed from the Devil.” Bits and pieces of her life and friends are woven throughout the fast-paced 372-page work that she describes as a “suspense thriller” in which her main character gets involved with the mafia. When her best friend’s husband is mugged and her best friend disappears, the plot moves quickly into the world of unpaid loans and threats. “It’s about making a decision you think is so right that is so wrong,” Blick said, clearly enjoying talking about her book at her Del Mar townhouse where she and her husband Sam have lived since 2008. It’s set in Del Mar as well as Rancho Santa Fe, where they used to live, and it’s chock full of local landmarks people will recognize, even though they have different names. It features an interior designer, which Blick was, and a lawyer, which her husband is, although she says

author said. While this is her first published novel – she selfpublished it – it’s not the first she’s written. That was a 120-page tale she composed as a fourth grader growing up in Chicago. The inspiration for “”Borrowed from the Devil” came during a phone call home. “One day I was talking to my mom about my best friend who knows so much about me,” she said, explaining that the conversa-

tion revolved around the bonds of universal friendship. “She said, ‘You should write about it.’” Once she decided to do that “the words just came out,” Blick added. “I never had to add or pick up up a loop or a thread and it was all sewn up at the end.” That is, except for one thing: A twist at the end that leaves an opening for a sequel, which she’s already working on. Over the course of the past year she wrote and edited. In the process, her mom read part of it and immediately asked for the next chapter. About half way through she asked her husband, a land use attorney with an office in Rancho Santa Fe who is a former Del Mar and Chula Vista city attorney, to critique her writing. Until then, she said, she had hidden it from him. Since they share an office, he was sitting nearby as he was reading it. “He was shaking his head and just said ‘Wow,’” she recalled, noting he was very supportive during the process as well as helpful with words. “He’s my little

The title came from the story line – “someone borrowing from someone who was a devilish character.” She chose to self-publish because she didn’t want to take the time to shop it around to publishers. Pleased with the results

so far, she says many of her readers are men – which surprised her since the only “publicity” has been word of mouth. “The best compliment is that people have told me they stayed up past midnight to finish it because they couldn’t put it down,’ she said, adding that she thinks it’s a perfect book for a book club although she has yet to suggest it for the group she’s in. “It’s about friendship and bonds with girlfriends and relationships and how families can be shattered so quickly.” When she’s not at her desk working on the next installment, Blick can be found walking on the beach or around the neighborhood with Sam and their new Australian shepherd puppy, Gracie. She’s the second Aussie they’ve owned, replacing one they lost to cancer recently. Blick loves golf and painting and, now that she’s not running her interior design business, she has more time to enjoy her friends – and get new story ideas.

Project not in line with community and its needs My husband and I are against the One Paseo project as it is currently proposed. I initially sent the comment card that was enclosed with the fancy glossy brochure we received expressing my opposition and concern about traffic. I received a response back “thanking me for my support”! Was this “support” relayed to politicians and planning groups as positive support for the project? It certainly was not our intent! For the past year we have felt that Kilroy has not been honest and straight forward with the community and the decision makers who will ultimately ap-

prove the construction of this development. There has been too much propaganda from groups who have a conflict of interest, and Kilroy has not been transparent in their associations with people like MoveSD. It is too expansive a project and should held to the current 510,000 sq. ft. restriction. Major concerns/issues: Traffic Will be forever impacted in a horrific way. SANDAG says One Paseo could add 25 minutes to commute times among all the other issues in the EIR report. “Walking” or “biking” for a few, but not the majority of Carmel Valley resi-

dents. Only the people living in the development or close by will be walking or biking. We lived in San Jose and saw the Town Center transform into Santana Row, but traffic already supported a large shopping mall and has easy freeway access. One Paseo does not. Parking - 4,000+ spaces?! Emergency Did anyone happen to try to evacuate via Del Mar Heights Rd. during the fires or during the blackout? We did and it was a nightmare. Emergency response will be compromised. Will police and fire protection be added to support the increased

population/employees? Hotel It is hard to believe occupancy rates at the Marriott, Doubletree or Hampton Inn, which are walking distance to the proposed One Paseo, warrant another hotel. Finally, after reading all of the letters to the Carmel Valley News, the responses can be summarized pretty easily. The people opposed to the project have given facts and evidence as to why this project should not go forward as proposed. The people who have written in favor of One Paseo all seem to quote from the same “talking point” memo but offer lit-

tle facts and/or evidence to support their claims; “well designed”, “thought through”, “will generate thousands of jobs and boost the local economy” and my favorite from several people – will fill the need for a “Main Street gathering place.” Huh? Please consider disapproving this project as it stands now. We are not opposed to building on this piece of property, but whatever is built there needs to be in line with the community and its needs. This proposal is not in our opinion. Dianne Wehenkel Carmel Valley

Stick fighting produces acrimony

When life mimics art ...

The cadre of development foes alleges mansionization creates community acrimony, but the cadre creates acrimony by its previously inspired building restrictions. Those restrictions confiscate private property-rights and convert them to public property-rights. The property owner then lacks some property rights. The neighbors own the other property-rights. Development then initiates acrimony among neighbors that a badly written will initiates among competing heirs. The division of propertyrights inherently politicizes development. Misunderstanding property breeds acrimony since property is not a col-

From time to time, life mimics art; such struck me as I read Mr. Goodman’s letter in last week’s Del Mar Times, specifically, “... until San Dieguito Valley is no longer considered to be environmentally sensitive.” I was reminded of a scene in the underrated, largely forgotten film, “Soylent Green.” In this scene, the protagonist, played by Charlton Heston, brings his terminally-ill friend, played by Edward G. Robinson, into a theater. The powers that rule, in a rare gesture of humanity, allow those about to die a singular treat, a last vision of what once was and is now gone forever, their existence a forbidden topic. The Robinson character sees film of animals that once existed — deers, lions, zebras, etc. — while the Heston character

‘The division of property-rights inherently politicizes development.’ lection of land and structures but a collection of legal entitlements or property-rights. Justice Holmes compares these entitlements to a bundle of sticks. By distributing the confiscated sticks to neighbors and city planners, the cadre and complicit council members control the property-owner. If the property-owner needs unimpeded development, he

needs all the sticks. If recalcitrant stick-owners retain their sticks, development stalls. Development proceeds when the property owner trades his dream home for a cadre approved home. Stick fighting produces acrimony, and trading produces eternal hatred. Recognizing property as a collection of legal entitlements facilitates cadre control of development. Without owning the property, the cadre controls the property through the design review board and through the enacted landuse restrictions. The board and the restrictions become cadre bludgeons. John Haraden Del Mar

What if developers use old standards? Is the proposed Del Mar Village Specific Plan really a Specific Plan? If read correctly, it appears, on one hand, to state what, where and how the downtown should be developed, yet on the other hand, if the developer of property doesn’t like that criteria, they can develop using the old zoning standards. What if developers decide to use the old standards? Not concerned about the developer, but what

about us? What specifically are we going to be asked to approve with our vote in November? We have before us only a guideline of what the downtown may or may not look like in the future, dependent solely on the developer, not specifics! In the haste to get the Plan approved by August (as stated in the Plan itself), such specifics as design, land development standards and financing won’t be spelled out until after

our vote. Will we like what is spelled out? Maybe too late! But, more importantly, a Specific Plan is required to be consistent with the adopted Community Plan. In my opinion, the proposed Plan destroys our adopted Community Plan. Please read, at least, the vision of the SP, and see if you think it fits the vision of the CP. I’m going to vote NO. Ralph Peck Del Mar

explains what they were, all now extinct. I visualized a scene in which a grandfather, each of his hands holding a hand of his two grandchildren, visits San Dieguito. “See that big building over there? That used to be where you could see the birds.” He points to another building. “And that was mostly water, used to have a lot of fish.” He waves his arm. “And all this was just land and water and birds and fishes.” He nods at the tall buildings dominating the area. “They used to call it the San Dieguito lagoon when I was your age.” “What do they call it now, grandpa?” his granddaughter asks. He pauses for a moment. “Two Paseo.” Walter Carlin Del Mar

New website expands outreach for water district The Santa Fe Irrigation District recently announced the launch of its reinvented website: www.sfidwater.org. The new website showcases a new homepage design and the navigation has been updated to include dropdown menus, quick links, and a powerful search bar to efficiently move users throughout the website. Key buttons found on the homepage link users to top interior destinations with the news and calendar feed immediately updated with timesensitive information. “The overall functionality of the new website surpasses that of its predecessor with many new online services.” said Santa Fe Irrigation District General Manager Michael Bardin. The new website now has the capability for online bill payments, an e-notification system with automatic archiving functionality, a dynamic calendar, and customer account access. These new functions will allow the district to frequently communicate with its customers with updated information. The district contracted with Vision Internet in June, 2011, to re-design and improve the district’s website, incorporating current content management elements to increase functionality.

Presented by Qualcomm and Cymer, the Shoot is one of the nonprofit’s largest fundraisers and is one of San Diego’s most entertaining summer events, bringing together local celebrities and hundreds of caring San Diegans to support HDSA’s mission to end one of life’s cruelest illnesses. This year’s event will feature Chargers Pro Bowl tight end Antonio Gates, the event’s honorary chair for the eighth consecutive year, and his teammates as they join the fun and help spread the organization’s mission. Huntington’s disease (HD), a fatal genetic brain disorder that results in the loss of all mental and physical capabilities, affects thousands of Americans each year but many of their heroic stories go unheard. The HDSA-San Diego chapter’s Shoot to Cure HD brings the community together to help raise funds to fight the disease and support the families living with HD. Guests will have the opportunity to meet and mingle with their favorite Chargers players while enjoying great food and drinks from many of San Diego’s finest restaurants. They can also tour Chargers Park: the actual locker room, weight room and meeting rooms used by the team. The event also offers great auction opportunities and prizes, and the entertainment for the night is the crazy speed-free-throw tournament. Tickets are on sale now and can be purchased on HDSA-SanDiego’s website at www.hdsasandiego.org. Teams of 10 are still available at $1,000 per team as are individual tickets at $125 per person with proceeds benefiting the HDSA to help fund research for a cure, education and awareness, and support for families living with HD.

BY ATHENA PHILIS-TSIMIKAS, M.D., SCRIPPS HEALTH With Type 2 diabetes reaching epidemic proportions in America, Type 1 diabetes has received little media attention. However, in recent years Type 1 diabetes—the chronic, lifelong form of diabetes that occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin to properly control blood sugar levels—has been on the rise. Formerly known as “juvenile diabetes” because it is most often diagnosed in children, adolescents and young adults, Type 1 diabetes is now affecting a growing number of adults as well. Up to three million Americans have been diagnosed with Type 1, and adults represent nearly half of the 30,000 new cases diagnosed each year. People with diabetes either cannot produce enough insulin to correctly regulate blood sugar levels or cannot properly process the insulin they do produce (a condition known as insulin resistance). As a result, their blood sugar levels are higher than normal, which can lead to serious and often life-threatening complications such as kidney failure, heart disease, nerve damage, blindness and more. Unlike Type 2 diabetes, which is often linked to being overweight and can be managed with medication and lifestyle changes, Type 1 diabetes cannot currently be prevented or cured. In people with Type 1, the body’s immune system attacks its own insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, thereby preventing the body from producing enough insulin to regulate blood sugar. Early symptoms of Type 1 diabetes include increased thirst or hunger, unexplained weight loss and frequent urination. Because these symptoms tend to come on so quickly, some people may have no idea they have diabetes until they find themselves receiving emergency treatment for a critical insulin deficiency. Within five to ten years, the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas are completely destroyed and the body can no longer produce any insulin at all. As a result, most people with Type 1 diabetes require daily insulin injections. The exact cause of Type 1 diabetes re-

mains a mystery, but researchers believe both heredity and environmental factors such as viruses may play a role. There are about 50 genes linked to the disease, and a person’s risk of developing Type 1 diabetes increases with the number of genes he or she shares with other family members who have been diagnosed. If an immediate relative (parent, sibling or child) has Type 1 diabetes, the risk of developing the disease is 10 to 20 times greater than the risk of the general population. If one child in a family has Type 1 diabetes, siblings have about a 1 in 10 risk of developing it by age 50. The earlier Type 1 diabetes is detected and treated, the better. A simple blood test can help detect it up to 10 years before symptoms appear, enabling physicians to begin treatment and, ideally, minimize or even prevent insulin deficiency emergencies and long-term health complications. A free nationwide screening, Type 1 Diabetes TrialNet, offers testing to family members of people with Type 1 diabetes. The blood is tested for certain antibodies that indicate an increased risk for Type 1 diabetes; those who have the antibodies are invited to participate in a study that monitors the likelihood of developing the disease. To date, more than 100,000 people have been screened nationwide, and about 5 percent have tested positive for the antibodies. Screenings are available to anyone age 45 or younger whose sibling, parent or child has been diagnosed with the disease. Screenings also are recommended for people 20 years old or younger with a cousin, aunt, uncle, niece, nephew, half-sibling or grandparent with Type 1. In San Diego County, screenings are available at the Scripps Whittier Diabetes Institute in La Jolla; for more information, call 858-626-5695. For information on screening locations across the country, go to www.diabetestrialnet.org.

CV hockey girls take silver at state Six girls from Carmel Valley Middle School powered the Poway Mystix club team to a silver medal in the Under 14 division of the California Cup field hockey tournament, Memorial Day weekend in Moorpark. The Mystix finished with four wins, one loss and a tie, plus their division’s highest goal scoring total. An extraordinary feat when you consider the team lost both its goalkeeper and defensive ace just three days before the tournament started. The rest of the team picked up the slack by rotating keeper duties and reshuffling the defense. Joined by two girls from Twin Oaks MS in Poway and one from Oak Valley MS in 4S Ranch, the Mystix got off to a fast start on Saturday morning with a 12-0 win over the Vista Hot Stix. Dani Jackel racked up a hat-trick, while Gabi Jimenez, Shannon Yogerst, Gabi LeRose, Gia Silahian and Lauren Whitney scored twice each to lead the charge. Next the girls faced off against a tough Key Biscayne team, a hard-fought and sometimes contentious game that ended in a 1-1 draw. A Meaghan Donnelly goal put the Mystix up early, but the Florida girls tied the score late. Silahian and Jackel scored again in a 2-0 victory over Bay Area-based SCU on Sunday morning. Whitney scored twice off Yogerst assists as the Mystix beat Longhorns IV 2-0 in their next game, a victory that sent the team into the playoffs on Monday morning. In the semifinals, Mystix faced a Longhorns III (Madison MS) team they had beaten by a single goal in the Mila Tournament the month before. But this time it wasn’t so close. Silahian scored twice off dishes from Yogerst in another 2-0 victory. The loss of two key players finally caught up with Mystix in the final against Mavericks, a 1-0 loss in a game that could have gone either way. The silver medal capped a remarkable spring for the Carmel Valley girls. Playing under three different names (Mystix, Falcons, Bobcats), the girls amassed a 20-game undefeated streak, won the Big Eight conference and the Mila Tournament, and finished second in the state of California.

Solana Beach Little League Brewers captured both the regular season and tournament championship with a 6-5 win over the Dodgers in Saturday’s championship game.

Del Mar resident and Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School student Chloe Belle Hooton, 15, was recently one of only 30 rowers to be invited to the 2012 U.S. Junior National Team Development Camp. In June, Chloe Belle will spend three weeks in Connecticut receiving expert coaching and training with the U.S. Junior National team. In February, Chloe Belle attended the two-day West Coast Junior National â&#x20AC;&#x153;I.D. Campâ&#x20AC;? in Marin County to try to qualify for the U.S. Junior National Team. Each year, approximately 400 of the top junior female rowers come to one of the eight selection camps across the U.S. to try to earn a seat on the team. The top 24 (usually seniors) are invited to train for a month followed up by a trip to Europe to represent the U.S. in Belgium. There is also a highly selective training camp â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the one Chloe Belle was invited to attend â&#x20AC;&#x201D; for the rowers that the coaches believe have the talent to be groomed for next yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s travel team. The invitation has special meaning for Chloe Belle as she is a former nationally-ranked golfer who had to give up the sport due to a back injury. Her father, Claude Hooton, said that Chloe Belle, on a whim, took a beginning rowing class at the end of last summer and fell in love with the sport. Chloe Belle competes in a variety of events for her new sport, and has already won first place titles. She practices six days per week with the San Diego Rowing Club and is on the clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s junior team. Another member of the San Diego Rowing Club, Marissa Gibson, was also invited to attend the camp. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It appears that it has been many years since any girl from San Diego has been to the Junior National camp, definitely not two in the same year, so this is big news down at the San Diego Rowing Club,â&#x20AC;? Claude said.

‘Something has called you’ Nepal children’s shelter becomes ‘love affair’ for group of Del Mar residents

Dr. Francis Slakey

Life-changing world journeys take physicist from apathy to activist

Carol Kerridge and Ingrid Hoffmeister. PHOTO: CLAIRE HARLIN BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET

BY CLAIRE DISCENZA One day, years ago, physicist Francis Slakey found himself about to fall off the side of a mountain, attached to the rock by only a single piece of unraveling fabric. “I wait for the inevitable,” Slakey, reads from “To The Last Breath,” his newly published memoir. He tells those gathered at a booksigning event at UCSD May 16 how his adventures changed the way he looks at his life, the world, and science. Dr. Slakey, Upjohn Lecturer on Physics and Public policy at Georgetown University, and associate director of public affairs at the American Physical Society, happens to have an Earth-size adventurous streak. For him, the streak led to what he dubs “The Global Surf and Turf,” a mission to climb the tallest peak on every continent and surf every ocean. He said one of the seminal events of his life occurred while on one of these adventures. Slakey recounts the time he was returning from a climb in Indonesia, when military forces stopped him and his traveling companions. As it turned out, this wasn’t the first ambush in that location — two days earlier, another group of Americans were captured, but that group wasn’t so lucky. “Two Americans gunned down dead,” said Slakey. The incident surrounding the fatal Indonesian ambush was a mystery. No one knew who was responsible, and no one was investigating the event. “Before I could surf one more wave, before I could climb one more mountain, I had to see what I could do about the ambush,” Slakey said. He stepped in and wrote an op-ed column to the Washington Post imploring Congress to suspend all funding to the Indonesian military until an investigation could be conducted. His letter, along with a serious push from Patsy Spear, the lone survivor of the attack, convinced Congress. As a result, the perpetrators are now “rotting in an Indonesian prison,” Slakey reported. He relates other life-altering stories, including one from the slopes of Everest. While climbing the tallest mountain in the world, Slakey said he

In 2004, a woman from Laguna was hiking in Nepal and discovered there were thousands of impoverished children working in the fields there, many displaced by traffickers or orphaned due to the Maoist insurrection of the 1990s. Soon after, that woman sold everything she owned to move to Nepal permanently to start a shelter for these kids. A Del Mar resident, Laura Parker, met this fellow Californian, Christine Casey, while on vacation in Nepal. Casey was just about to open the shelter on her own, and Parker was instantly attached to her cause and offered to help. Within the following years, Parker shared Casey’s story with friends in Del Mar and, one by one, a handful of locals visited the shelter, called Chhahari, and fell in love with the some 20 kids living there. Together, they’ve contributed in various ways on visits to Chhahari, and they’ve formed a board to help protect and raise money for it. “For me it’s like a love affair,” said Del Mar resident Ingrid Hoffmeister, who has served as a volunteer teacher there and helped start a book sale to raise money for the shelter. She has also published a book about Chhahari, which means “shelter” in Nepalese. “It’s like when you are there, something has called you; you don’t call it,” she said. “It’s a blessing to be there.” Local nurse Carol Kerridge, who heard about the shelter through Hoffmeister, joined the board after visiting the shelter in 2009. She also helps run the book sales, which take place several times a year at Stratford Court Cafe in Del Mar. Kerridge said she was greatly impacted by the kind attitudes of the children. “They were all sitting around a low

Hoffmeister hopes to bring the video footage back to the United States to be professionally edited. Enter local doctor David Monahan and his wife, Sally. The two met Kerridge and Hoffmeister at one of the book sales at Stratford Court Cafe and

they not only offered a generous donation, but asked if they could bring a medical team to Nepal. The Monahans ended up joining the ladies on their next trip and offering three days of intense clinics, Kerridge said. The groups did physical examinations on 205 people, from kids to factory workers. Monahan also ended up returning the following year to offer medical exams. Also in the effort is Hoffmeister’s husband, Jerry, who has extensive experience running boards. He has served as chair of the San Diego Foundation, and is also serving on the Chhahari board.

Children’s book celebrates playful connection between fathers, kids BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET

La Jolla Cultural Partners

The story always goes the same way. Luciana Powell gets her sons, 3-year-old Nicolas and 5-year-old Alexander, wound down and ready for bed. Then her husband, Michael, comes home and is so excited to see the kids that he gets them all revved up again. “I say ‘Oh gosh, the jungle gym is home’ or ‘Oh no, the playground has arrived,’” said Luciana, a Solana Beach resident. He picks the kids up like a swing, they climb on his back like he’s a jungle gym, they jump on him like he’s a trampoline and he spins them like a merry-goround — “hopefully when I’m not watching,” Luciana said. Seeing how her husband plays with her sons was inspiring and special to Luciana, so she brought the scene to life in her new children’s book, “My Dad is the Best Playground,” which was released just in time for Father’s Day. “That’s the beauty of fathers and kids,” said Luciana, a Brazil native who has specialized in digital art and

Luciana, Nicolas, Alexander and Michael Powell illustration for more than a decade. “Moms are usually more careful but dads need that crazy physical play, and I wanted to celebrate this because it’s something special dads do that a lot of people can relate to.” Luciana, for example, said she remembers doing “the airplane,” with her fa-

ther on Sunday mornings as a child — she would jump on his shins and he’d float her up over his head while mimicking the sound of a propeller. “I started asking around to my friends’ kids in Solana Beach; I asked what they play with their dads and it confirmed to me that dads

really are like playgrounds, these poor dads,” Luciana said. Luciana said celebrating the fun roughhousing that dads are known for has also led to a greater appreciation on behalf of wives. For example, she received a thankyou letter from a reader who said the book enhanced her

appreciation of her husband. “She said she sees that he is such a great dad,” Luciana said. Luciana said she has been drawing since she was a child. “My dad would bring home stacks of paper from work and I would draw so much,” she said. “My mom would say ‘There’s not enough paper for you.’” Even in college, Luciana said she was always drawing, and she worked as a freelance illustrator for a variety of publishing companies. She earned a degree in product design from a university in Brazil. This year, however, has been a “breakout year” for Luciana. She has always wanted to publish her own stories and at the end of April she finished illustrating four more books. “It was so intensive, the hours,” said Luciana. “In March and April I worked every day and every night and every weekend for 50 days.” Luciana’s artistic style starts with a sketch, and incorporates textures and colors via Photoshop. Luciana

carries a camera around at all times, and photographs objects that she scans in or uploads to capture that object’s texture. She said that method breaks the “overly digital” look, and she also uses watercolors at times to give a “painterly warmth.” Luciana also has a Mother’s Day book in print called “My Mom is the Best Circus.” “It’s inspired by me,” she said. “It’s literally about juggling things.” As part of a continuing “Weekend With Locals” series, Warwick’s book store in La Jolla will host Luciana Powell at noon on June 16 and her book will be available for $7.99.

Finchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s is fun, fanciful for wine as well as feasting BY KELLEY CARLSON hen it comes to identifying the food and style of Finchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wine Bar and Bistro, the establishment canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be pigeonholed. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quirky and cozy, upscale yet casual. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s family-friendly, but still provides an intimate setting for dates. And it provides international flavor, as the South African-born Linda and Marshall Ravden â&#x20AC;&#x201D; who co-own Finchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with their son and daughter-in-law, Nick and Tiana â&#x20AC;&#x201D; find much of the inspiration for their dishes during their travels across the pond. â&#x20AC;&#x153;People come in and say they feel like theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not in La Jolla anymore,â&#x20AC;? Tiana said, "Rather, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve taken a little trip to Europe," Linda added. Patrons enter through wrought-iron gates into Finchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s courtyard, which is shaded by trees and perfumed by flowers. On warm, bright days, guests chatter around tables â&#x20AC;&#x201D; much like the social, musical birds the restaurant is named for â&#x20AC;&#x201D; while a fountain provides a soothing background sound. Coincidentally, during the siteâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s previous incarnation as Cafe Lautrec, finches resided in cages on the patio. The fact was unbeknownst to the Ravdens when they chose the name for their restaurant. From 6 to 10 p.m. Friday through Sunday,

â&#x20AC;&#x153;jazzy, low-key, nonintrusiveâ&#x20AC;? entertainment is provided in the courtyard, allowing people the opportunity to comfortably converse. Local musicians play tunes in various styles, from bossa nova and blues to Spanish guitar. As the weather gets warmer, performances will be Tuesday through Sunday. The interior spaces -- consisting of the main dining room and wine bar -- feature sunny hues and plenty of natural light, along with black-and-white striped accents. Tables are covered in white linens, with water carafes topped with lemons and salt and pepper shakers in the form of black and white birds. In the wine bar, guests can customize their Bloody Marys, part of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Liquid Lunchâ&#x20AC;? menu that also includes bottomless mimosas and other beverages, or opt for wine flights -tastings of multiple vintages. And they can still order full meals. Guests will find that the culinary offerings at Finchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s are quite eclectic. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to have things on the menu that you wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t find anywhere else at all,â&#x20AC;? Linda said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We try to be very inventive with our food, but unpretentious.â&#x20AC;? One example is the South African dish of Bobotie. Finchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s version consists of spiced ground lamb, peas, carrots, Bechamel sauce, jasmine rice with raisins, and mango chutney.

On The Menu Recipe Each week youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net. Just click â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Get The Recipeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; at the bottom of the story. â&#x2013; This Week: Finchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Watermelon Gazpacho Among other unique creations is the Pistachio Crusted Salmon with French lentils, organic spring mix blood orange salad and saffron citrus beurre blanc. Seafood lovers can also appreciate the Shrimp Portofino, with grilled butterflied jumbo shrimp, crispy Yukon Gold potatoes, marinated heirloom tomato avocado salad and lemon garlic sauce; and the Lobster Carbonara, a marriage of linguini with pancetta, peas and lobster Parmesan cream. Those who relish red meat may find the Meat and Potatoes entree tantalizing, with filet mignon, porcini butter, red wine jus, gorgonzola potato risotto and roasted garlic spinach. While the cuisine may have foreign influences, many of the ingredients are obtained from local distributors. The daily specials â&#x20AC;&#x201D;

soups, frittatas and mussels, and crepes on Sundays â&#x20AC;&#x201D; constantly vary, driven by the availability of seasonal items. For instance, one will find Chilled Mango Avocado and Watermelon Gazpacho soups on the summer menu, while Tuscan White Bean Butternut makes an appearance during the cooler months. There is no set childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s menu, but items can be customized for the youngsters. They can draw on paper with crayons while waiting for fare such as bow-tie pasta with butter and grilled cheese sandwiches. For a romantic Finchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s experience, Linda and Tiana recommend dining at night on the patio, near the musicians and the fountain. Order a dish you normally wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try, and then share a housemade dessert â&#x20AC;&#x201D; specifically the Chocolate French Toast Sandwich with maple bourbon bacon sauce and ice cream. To further enjoy the restaurantâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s offerings, people may sign up for e-mail notification of wine pairing dinners and â&#x20AC;&#x153;wine appreciationâ&#x20AC;? classes. Finchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also holds sip-and-shop soirees, in which local female business owners sell items while guests get a â&#x20AC;&#x153;tasteâ&#x20AC;? of the establishment. To celebrate special occasions, Finchâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hosts numerous types of events â&#x20AC;&#x201D; including wedding rehearsals, birthdays and retirement parties â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and provides off-site catering.

Beware of spies bringing ‘Blood and Gifts’ at La Jolla Playhouse BY KATHERINE POYTHRESS Billed as “part spy thriller, part black comedy,” “Blood and Gifts” by American playwright J.T. Rogers will make its West Coast premiere at the La Jolla Playhouse, June 12-July 8. Directed by Lucie Tiberghien, the play takes audiences on a journey beyond the political headlines of the official Soviet-Afghan war that lasted from 1981 to 1991, and into the secret spy war behind it. At its heart, the play is also about the political seeds that were sown for the infamous Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks on American soil, said Playhouse Resident Dramaturg Shirley Fishman. Both political and personal, the theatrical historic fiction follows CIA operative James Warnock (played by Kelly AuCoin) as he deals with his British and Russian counterparts while trying to shut down Soviet control of Afghanistan. In the process, it reveals the sacrifices made by spies like him to protect American interests in the war. “It tells the toll that these kind of covert actions take on relationships and

the people making them, and it’s all played out against the backdrop of this very heated, political war that’s going on in a foreign country,” Fishman explained. The story takes place in a variety of cultural settings — from Afghanistan and Soviet Russia to 1980s-era Washington, D.C. — providing the creative team with plenty of opportunities to delight audiences with culturally and historically accurate costumes and sounds. Fishman said her favorite part about “Blood and Gifts” is that it operates on so many different levels. The script is gripping,

with a balance of sharp humor and crisp dialogue. That, mixed with metaphors of gifts and games, provides for a thought-provoking story. “Although it’s a political flashpoint over the course of 10 years, it’s also very entertaining,” she said. Rogers is one of the few American playwrights still writing about politics, and “Blood and Gifts” is his first work to debut at the La Jolla Playhouse, Fishman said, but it continues the Playhouse’s long history of dealing with politics through plays.

CCA Grad Night enhanced by parent’s ‘Camp CCA’

If you go What: ‘Blood and Gifts,’ West Coast premiere When: Matinees, evenings, June 12-July 8 Where: Mandell Weiss Forum, La Jolla Playhouse, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive, UCSD campus Tickets: From $26 Box Office: (858) 550-1010 Website: LaJollaPlayhouse.org

BY GILLIAN BRAMBLE, INTERN Canyon Crest Academy holds an end-ofthe-year graduation party called Grad Night where seniors can enjoy a safe, festive evening filled with games, food and music. While the Grad Night is always a memorable occasion, parent volunteer Leslie Siegel has added a special element to the evening where students can show their support for the U.S. Armed Forces. For the past three years, Siegel has set up an area that she calls “Camp CCA” where the students write postcards to the troops. “Camp CCA” is dressed in camouflage and surrounded by props from the school’s theatre department to make it look like a true military outpost. The booth is supplied with postcards and pens; the only thing the students need to do is walk up to the booth and write the card. “My idea is that they take a minute out of their social evening to do something meaningful,” Siegel said. “The activity has been very well received and some of the cards are really quite impressive.” Siegel said they have collected up to 250-300 cards each year for the troops. After students are finished writing the postcards they put them in a container that Siegel then takes to the Operation Gratitude organization (www.operationgratitude.com). This year’s graduation party will be held on Friday, June 15, from 10 p.m.-5 a.m. at Canyon Crest Academy.

Luxury women’s consignment site offers a ‘unique closet-to-closet’ experience

Marie Green wearing a Celine top, Chanel Skirt, Chanel boots and a Fendi handbag from The RealReal.com BY KATHY DAY Marie Green is putting her experience as a fashion stylist to work in a new way – as the San Diego merchandise manager for theRealReal.com, a luxury women’s consignment site. The San Francisco-based company accepts only goods from a specified list of designers, be they clothes and shoes, jewelry, scarves or handbags, which Green says are the bestselling items on the site. “Anything that women can wear on their bodies, even blankets, can be considered,” said Green, a Rancho Santa Fe resident who first learned about theRealReal when she and her husband were living temporarily in Northern California. In a recent press release, founder and CEO Julie Wainright said, “For the first time, consumers of luxury fashion

have an easy, secure and fun way to recycle their designer purchases to a mass audience of self-selected, interested buyers. We provide a unique ‘closet-to-closet’ experience and a stylish, fun shopping experience for anyone who loves designer fashion at a fabulous price point.” Green said she learned about theRealReal when they were getting ready to move back to Rancho Santa Fe and found “a tenant that wanted to move in quickly. With only two weeks to go, she decided to donate some things and consign those with higher value. “I tested the waters and sent them 10 things that all sold immediately,” she said, adding that within six weeks she received a check. Most consignment sites pay only 40 percent to 50 percent, but theRealReal pays 60 percent, she noted. If you sell more than $1,500 in goods in a year, the rate moves to 70 percent. Shortly after her “test,” Green received a call from the company asking her to be their San Diego manager. In her role, she handles local advertising and for customers who consign 10 or more items, she will pick up and inspect the items – which must be clean and in good condition — before packing and shipping them to the company headquarters. For those with fewer items, the company will arrange for free shipping via UPS, which comes in the form of a credit once the

item has sold, according to the website. She recently visited the office and got a great sense of the culture and the quality of the goods being resold through the site. Once the items arrive the staff photographs and posts them on the site. Daily emails are sent to members showing the newest pieces, which on a recent day ranged from Gucci and Calvin Klein to Piazza Sempione and Theory. It also notes upcoming sales – in this case from Akris, Iron Lady and Bottega & Balenciaga – and the editor’s daily picks. And on Fridays, there’s a handbag sale. To access the site, one must first sign up as a member, although there is no fee and no obligation, which Green says has become fairly routine practice with similar sites. “To maintain the quality they like to know who’s looking at the site,” she explained. There’s also an option to be a “firstlook” member for $5 a month and a way to sign up as a consigner. The site recently drew a rave review from the blog Fashionista.

TheRealReal are pretty unreal: Like, 90 percent off the original tickets, unreal.” Green, who for a while wrote a fashion column for these newspapers, said she sees great value in theRealReal because it helps people let go of things they no longer wear. In her role as a fashion stylist, she loves “going into closets and editing clothes.” “We all have those days when we go into our closet and say, ‘I have all these clothes and nothing to wear,’” she said. “If a woman can’t get dressed in five minutes, they need a closet edit.” Her own experience with the company has shown her that by having an opportunity to sell things you’re not using, you can buy items that are more up to date. And, yes, she said, she has found herself selling her own clothes and buying new ones from the site. “When I do the pick-ups, I see amazing merchandise,” she added. “I have to remind myself, I’m working.” To learn more, sign up at www.theRealReal.com or e-mail Green at marie@therealreal.com.

ACTIVIST continued from page B1 stopped in to a monastery to receive a blessing from a supposedly-300-year-old reincarnate Lama. On a whim, he decided to ask the ancient spirit for the meaning of life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I ask my question, and the translator whispers it to the Lama, and then the Lama thinks, and he whispers back to the translator, and the translator says: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have to get back to you on that,â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;? Slakey recalled with a smile. But the Lama does get back to Slakey, giving him an amulet to wear around his neck with the meaning of life carved in an extinct Tibetan language. Slakey said he spent years searching for a translation of the message, a search that culminated in another life-altering moment while surfing the Arctic Ocean. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It suddenly hit me. I suddenly realized what the letters on the amulet meant, and no, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to tell you. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to have to get the book to find out,â&#x20AC;? he teased the audience. Until his journeys opened his eyes to the real world, Slakey said he was â&#x20AC;&#x153;the classic physics professor â&#x20AC;&#x201D; my back to the students, chalk in my hand. That was all science was to me. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all life was to me â&#x20AC;Ś analytic â&#x20AC;Ś detached.â&#x20AC;? Now through his work with the American Physical Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Panel of Public Affairs, he tackles what he considers to be some of the most pressing global challenges: climate change and energy policy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every glacier I have ever punched my crampon into is melting. So this map of mountains and oceans is actually a map of global challenges. The question is what to do?â&#x20AC;? Slakey said his answer is to change his teaching style. No longer does he emotionlessly write ancient formulas on a chalkboard. Now he leads students to take scientific principles and apply them toward solving realworld problems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been successful,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Since 2007, three student groups have had their ideas passed through Congress and signed into law by the president. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the point, science doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t just exist within the walls of the laboratory. When a sense of social purpose inspires a scientist, then science becomes the most powerful tool we have to build a better world.â&#x20AC;?

PET CONNECTION Meet ORCHID. Like the ďŹ&#x201A;ower for which she is named, this 5 month old Terrierblend girl is as pretty as a blossom with a gentle personality to match. She weighs 10.5 pounds and has a pure white coat and deep-set eyes that look lovingly at those who show her affection. She is very sweet to the other dogs at the Center and would be a perfect pet to you and any other canine or human family members. She has been spayed and is up-to-date on all her vaccinations. Her adoption fee is $314 and, as with all pets adopted from Helen Woodward Animal Center, is micro chipped for identiďŹ cation. As an added bonus, Orchid also comes with two free passes to SeaWorld! Helen Woodward Animal Center is located at 6461 El Apajo Road in Rancho Santa Fe. For more information call 858-756-4117, option #1 or visit www.animalcenter.org.

Business Spotlight

Passion Fine Jewelry: A new breed of jewelry story •Fi nd that special gift for Father’s Day Watch aficionados are piercing the corporate veil, no longer content with pledging allegiance to a corporate brand. They want to know the person who actually makes their watch, thus making the independent watchmaker the focal point and favorite of savvy watch collectors and watch aficionados. This is now possible with companies such as Solana Beach’s Passion Fine Jewelry, a new breed of jewelry store. When the most respected watchmakers started to come out from behind their benches and create their own works of art rather than play to the corporate drummer, Tim Jackson, of Passion Fine Jewelry, was there to make these works of art available to his customers. To take it a step further, these luminaries of the independent watchmaking world have traveled to Passion Fine Jewelry to sit down to dinner with their fans and share the inside scoop on their recent works. Jackson, about seven years ago, became so enthralled with the passion and quality of workmanship of the independent watchmakers that he followed his passion and developed relationships with many of the independents — so much so that he became one of two places in the U.S. where you can see and acquire most of these independent brands. Jackson introduced his collectors to the independents long before it became in-vogue to do so. Jackson is always on the hunt for superior quality and design, which he often finds on his yearly trips to the world’s top watch shows. For more information, contact Tim Jackson at Passion Fine Jewelry, located at 415 S. Cedros Ave., #100, in Solana Beach or at 858-794-8000; www.passionfinejewelry.com.

Del Mar Pines to provide elementary-age, ‘real’ Summer School There is a resource just around the corner at Del Mar Pines School to enable you to further your child’s education. You don’t have to sign up for a learning center or create and monitor daily homework. Instead, trust your child with experienced math and language arts teachers in a true summer school environment. “The teachers build upon the skills already gained over the previous school year and yet provide new tools and challenges that become a foundation for the upcoming year. “I feel that my children are ready to challenge themselves in English and math after attending Summer Discoveries,” said Manju Woytowtiz, parent of three children who have attended summer school at Del Mar Pines for over eight years. Your child will enjoy the classes too! The programs are designed to engage the children, entertain, and inspire them. Children want to grow. They want to improve. Given the right environment, they will do just that – and thrive. Del Mar Pines School is a small, private school in Carmel Valley.

The shelter operated on $13,000 annually when it first opened, but the budget has increased to more than $28,000 annually.

It’s hard to

understand the emotional pull until you’ve been.” Hoffmeister continued, jokingly, “We think Del Mar should adopt this charity, adopt the project as a Del Mar project that’s out of the country.” Hoffmeister said the experience of going to Nepal has changed her entire perspective on life. “You go there and come back and you are not the same. You get an extremely healthy touch of reality,” she said. “The kids’ needs are very basic and minimal. They don’t want toys. What they love is people showing up and showing an interest.” For more information, visit www.chhahari.org.
