BY JOE TASH CONTRIBUTOR Complaints about taxicabs taking up public parking spaces and drivers loitering and behaving rudely along city streets prompted the Del Mar City Council to pass an urgency ordinance prohibiting taxicabs from parking anywhere in Del Mar between 8 a.m. and 10 p.m. daily. The Council approved the urgency ordinance on a 5-0 vote at its meeting on Monday, July 11, and also approved the first reading of a permanent ordinance enacting the taxicab parking ban. The law took effect immediately, and signs announcing the ban were expected to be installed beginning Tuesday, said Patrick Vergne, director of community services. Parking enforcement officers will begin issuing warnings this weekend for violations of the new rules, and citations, which carry a fine of $43, SEE TAXICAB, PAGE 14

BY JOE TASH Contributor State and federal transportation officials have decided to pursue a four-lane, $3.5 billion expansion of Interstate 5 between La Jolla and Oceanside, rather than a larger expansion plan that had been previously considered. Some who had opposed a larger, six-lane expansion of the freeway that was studied as part of the project’s environmental review hailed the July 7 announcement as a victory. But others remained unsatisfied, advocating for public transit improvements before more freeway lanes are built. “It’s certainly a step in the right direction toward the no-build option, but there’s a very strong sentiment in San Diego that transit must come before more major freeway building,” said Lane Sharman, a Solana Beach resident and member of Citizens Against Freeway Expansion. Sharman wants to see San Diego County establish a new agency headed by a

directly elected board to oversee creation of a lightrail system to serve the region. Currently, transportation money generated by a voter-approved sales tax increase is administered by the San Diego Association of Governments, or SANDAG, which is governed by elected officials from local cities and the county. Widening I-5, said Sharman, is “not going to make San Diego a world-class city.” Rather, he said, San Diego should work with neighboring counties to create a transit system similar to the Bay Area Rapid Transit, or BART, system in the San Francisco region. “We need to get started on this now.” The I-5 plan approved by both the California Department of Transportation and the Federal Highway Administration involves adding four express lanes to the freeway’s existing eight lanes between La Jolla and Oceanside. The project would be built in phases, with construction of the first seg-

CCA assistant tennis coach recounts highlights of life impacted by family, competitive tennis, F. Scott Fitzgerald BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor If Larry Belinsky could have had his way when he was 18, he would have been a cross between F. Scott Fitzgerald, the writer, and Jay Gatsby, the mysterious millionaire fictional character in Fitzgerald’s Jazz Age novel, “The Great Gatsby.” To Belinsky, retired furniture dealer, champion competitive tennis player, and founder of the San Diego Tennis Hall of Fame, Fitzgerald and Gatsby were the epitome of cool. Belinsky discovered the Gatsby novel while he was recuperating from a debilitating, life-threatening attack of spinal meningitis that interrupted his collegiate tennis career and his studies at San Diego State. “I became a F. Scott Fitzgerald fanatic,” he recalls. “I fell in love with the Jazz Era. It made me turn into a romantic. I started dressing in 1920-style clothes. I wore a white hat with a thing around the brim, a pocket watch that my Grandpa Max gave me, tweed pants and two-tone shoes.

“As crazy as it is and I don’t believe in this now, but back then, I thought maybe I was the reincarnation of F. Scott Fitzgerald and I was pretending I was Jay Gatsby.” “To this day, I know it influenced my life greatly.” “One of the main themes in the Gatsby book,” Belinsky said, “is ‘The American Dream,’ which is that freedom in this country includes the promise of the possibility of prosperity and success.” Gatsby, who, as it turned out, made his millions illicitly as a Prohibition bootlegger, was also obsessed with creating an order in his daily routine aimed at achieving what he wanted in life through hard work, exercise, continuing education, participation in sports, developing elocution and poise, no smoking or no chewing, and no wasting time — “all things that I could relate to,” Belinsky affirmed. “I love keeping things in order, as they happen, as they occur. If you were to open up this file cabinet, I have all of my tournaments

and competitions on file and in order, so if I want to pull something or I don’t know the answer to something, I’ll know where to find it in a hurry. “My wife is always thinking I have OCD (Obsessive Compulsive Disorder) or something.” We interviewed Belinsky, 56, in his 7,000 sq. ft. home, complete with a backyard tennis court, swimming pool and home gym and that undoubtedly would have impressed Fitzgerald and even the great Mr. Gatsby himself. Belinsky and his wife, Judy, have lived in the house for 23 of their 35 years of marriage and have raised their two children there. These days, Belinsky, who retired in 2007, is taking time off from competitive tennis while his eyes heal following surgeries to repair a spontaneous detached retina and the removal of cataracts, but he still takes to the court at home and coaches players at Canyon Crest Academy in the fall and spring. Looking otherwise fit

and very much the tennis player, 6 foot, 162 pounds (“Never had a weight problem. I watch my diet pretty well. No red meat. A lot of chicken and fish…common sense eating.”), Belinsky guided us from his study to his tennis court where he has affixed a bronze plaque with another one of his collected literary gems, the poem “If,” by Rudyard Kipling. His favorite stanza is: “If you can meet Triumph

and Disaster and treat those two imposters just the same; …. yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it. And — which is more — you’ll be a Man, my Son! ” It’s the same poem that Larry read to his son, Jordan, at his son’s Bar Mitzvah, 13 years ago, and that tennis players see before they emerge onto center court at Wimbledon. That’s another thing about Belinsky. He loves collecting quotes. On a wall of his home gym, he has one from the last paragraph of The Great Gatsby which reads: “Tomorrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther.” Larry is the first born and eldest son of Arnold (“Fuzz”) Belinsky who founded Arnold’s Furniture and Interiors in San Diego in 1966 and over the course of 25 years, with his family, grew the business into one of the Top 100 furniture retailers in the United States. “We did a lot of advertising on TV and my mom would close off our commercials in her red hair and big smile with “From our family to yours.” Well, that was my mom.” Larry was raised in San Diego but was born in Newport Beach, at Hoag Memorial Hospital, where his mother’s physician, Dr. Henry Bieler, author of the best-selling, pioneer nutrition book, “Food is Your Best Medicine,” had hospital privileges and delivered all three Belinsky children. “We were raised on raw milk and without polio vaccinations, small pox vaccinations, nothing. My mother was … way ahead of her time and so was her doctor.” Larry’s father, Arnold, who recently celebrated his 80th birthday surrounded by his family, was born in Detroit, Michigan. While serving in the Navy and stationed in San Diego, he met, Esther, his future wife, at a Temple Beth Israel social gathering for young singles. Esther’s father owned the Union Furniture chain of stores in San Diego and Mexico. After they were married, See PROFILE, page 6

Hot Shotz Sports Center moves next to Pelly’s, offers boot camp Free fitness and nutrition seminar to be held July 16 BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Hot Shotz Sports Center recently moved across the street from its Del Mar Fairgrounds home to create a new outdoor gym experience with a built-in ocean breeze. Hot Shotz, previously known for its batting cages, soccer, volleyball and basketball offerings, will now become the only private, outdoor boot camp facility in San Diego. Through its boot camp and self-defense class options, Hot Shotz hopes to provide people with “complete empowerment” as well as a spot to kick around a ball or hit some fastballs. “We want to get as many people here as possi-

ble because we want to change lives,” said Matt Schotz, the center’s general manager. “When you’re healthier, you’re happier.” This weekend, Saturday, July 16, Hot Shotz is offering a free fitness and nutrition seminar at 9 a.m., followed by a free women’s survival self defense class at 10:30 a.m. for ages 13 and up. Both will be run by Abe

Fuentes, a fitness expert and trainer who regularly appears on FOX 5 News. For the last four years, Hot Shotz has operated at indoor facilities out of the Del Mar Fairgrounds property, closing during the summer months to make room for the fair and race season, and opening back up in the fall. This summer they moved to the property across the street next to Pelly’s Mini Golf. “Now we have outdoor facilities and people just love it,” said Schotz. The location features a wide open turf field, batting cages, a trapeze operated by Circus Fund’s Trapeze High and soccer nets—in the future they hope to set up a co-ed soccer league at the site. People can sign up for unlimited monthly use of the batting cages and opt to pair it with hitting instruction and a video swing analysis. Hot Shotz will also offer pitching instruction. “Our main attraction this summer is the boot

Del Mar earns honor for financial report The “Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting” has been awarded to the City of Del Mar by the Government Finance Officers Association of the United States and Canada (GFOA) for its comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR). The Certificate of Achievement is the highest form of recognition in the area of governmental accounting and financial reporting, and its attainment represents a significant accomplishment by a government and its management. An Award of Financial Reporting Achievement has been awarded to the individual(s), department or agency designated by the government as primarily responsible for preparing the award-winning CAFR. This has been presented to: Teresa S. McBroome, director of finance/treasurer. The CAFR has been judged by an impartial panel to meet the high standards of the program, including demonstrating a constructive “spirit of full disclosure” to clearly communicate its financial story and motivate potential users and user groups to read the CAFR. The GFOA is a nonprofit professional association serving approximately 17,500 government finance professionals with offices in Chicago, IL, and Washington, D.C.

camps,” said Schotz. Schotz, a member of Torrey Pines High class of 2007, recently graduated from USC and is very excited that he is teaming up with Fuentes. Schotz had visited boot camps before and found some to be disorganized and lacking the communal experience he was looking for. Fuentes, a former Arizona police officer who had trained SWAT teams and has run boot camps for 18 years, seemed to be a good fit for Hot Shotz. While Fuentes has run boot camps using just body weight and towels, he’ll have plenty of room and equipment at his disposal at Hot Shotz. Fuentes will constantly change up workouts and aim to “shock” the body— he will push campers hard as “the human body is 100 times more capable than whatever we put it through,” said Fuentes, noting that a 300-pound woman and an Olympic athlete

have attended the same class and both gotten a great workout out of it. Each boot camp will come with complete nutritional guidelines and support. “When you come here you are going to get results,” said Fuentes. “We’re going to change lifestyles.” While Fuentes will be plenty motivating, Schotz said people can also be motivated by working out in groups, building friendships and holding each other accountable for the work. “We really want to create a community, a physically fit environment,” said Schotz. They plan to have Baby Boomer boot camps, bridal boot camps and a special college boot camp for incoming college students this summer to prepare them to fight off the “freshman 15” and establish a healthy fitness and nutrition regime. “Instead of filling the space of homesickness with food, fill it up with physical

fitness,” said Fuentes. Saturday’s self defense course also focuses on changing a mindset, in not being a victim. With his background in martial arts and law enforcement, Fuentes doesn’t “sugar coat” potential threats. He said some people might be shocked that a 13-year-old is receiving the same instruction given to a Navy Seal but he believes all people should be prepared to fight back “The only way to overcome a situation facing a predator is to become a predator,” said Fuentes. He wants to get people out of that “Del Mar/Rancho Santa Fe bubble” and know that they have the ability to stand up for themselves and put up a good fight. For boot camp schedules or more information, visit hotshotzsports.com or call (858) 509 5400. The first boot camp class is always free. Hot Shotz is located at 15555 Jimmy Durante Boulevard.

PROFILE continued from page 2 Arnold worked for his father-in-law for 10 years before launching his own business in 1966. Larry has a brother, Craig, who is 16 months younger, and sister, Sheila, who is six years younger. “All three of us worked in the business together. My father, of course, was the CEO. I was the president of the company.” His sister, Sheila, and her husband, ran the company’s upscale line called Arnold’s Showcase and his brother, Craig, ran the home entertainment department. “My father was very smart in that regard so each of us were not stepping on each other’s toes, because a family business is a very dangerous thing. Most of them don’t make it past the first generation.” Larry began working in the business as a teenager. “I worked part time, on and off, starting in the warehouse and in the office as a lamp buyer and accessory buyer and, on the floor, as a salesman. And I liked the business.” “I was a ‘comp lit’ major in college,” Larry said, “always knowing in the back of my mind that I was born and raised [to be] in the family retail furniture business.” After marrying and leaving college without

completing a degree, he joined the family business full time, eventually serving as president until it was sold in 1991 — and, in 1993, with his wife, Judy, opened their own retail furniture store, Country Furniture Faire on Miramar Road, which they ran for 14 years before selling it and officially retiring in 2007. But, also from an early age, Belinsky developed a passion for tennis. Introduced to the sport at age 7 by his father, he has been an avid tennis player ever since for almost 50 years with 12 United States Tennis Association medals to prove it, including two gold balls as national doubles champion in 2000 and in 2004. He is also founder of the San Diego Tennis Hall of Fame and is currently assistant tennis coach at Canyon Crest Academy. Throughout his business career, he played tennis two and three times a week while his competitors, who would often practice twice as much, were chagrined with how he could keep up his game. “And, I think, to this day, the reason why was that my enthusiasm made up for my lack of court time. I stayed in good shape, so that when I was on the court, I could perform to my optimum level.” At UC Berkeley, as a freshman, he made the

men’s varsity tennis team; and after transferring to SDSU, where he was being groomed for the number one spot on the tennis team, he had dreams of possibly turning professional when he contracted spinal meningitis two weeks following his family’s first vacation to Acapulco. “I was out for a good year and a half. I walked out of that hospital weighing 135 pounds down from 165-170 and I never regained that original weight.” It shattered any dreams he had of turning pro. “High depression. Feeling sorry for myself. I had to wear a back brace to keep my torso up because I couldn’t support myself on my own. I couldn’t bend down to tie my shoes. I couldn’t climb steps. “By the way, just before I got sick, I met my future wife, Judy (Olsher). I was 18 and she was 15-and-a-half and had just moved into the Del Cerro neighborhood with her family. Her folks, being part of the Jewish community, knew my folks,” he said, “Our first date was a blind date to the movies and our second date was a tennis lesson. She had never played tennis before …So I could impress her with my tennis skills.” Throughout his illness and rehabilitation, Judy stuck by him. “I remember her mother’s friend, who

hadi worked for seven years in the marketing and publicity departments at Hollywood Park. In her late 20s, she decided to become a trainer. She worked for two years as assistant trainer to Julio Canani before taking out her trainer’s license in April 1993. She won with her first starter, La Sarcelle, on May 2 of that year. Sahadi has accomplished many firsts in her career. She became the first female trainer to saddle the winner of a $1,000,000 race and a Breeders’ Cup race when she saddled the striking gray Lit de Justice to take the 1996 Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1) at Woodbine. She saddled 16-1 Elmhurst to win the Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1) in 1997 at Hollywood Park, becoming the only female trainer to win two Breeders’ Cup races. She won her third million dollar race in 2000 when she saddled The Deputy to win the Santa Anita Derby (G1), a key prep race for the Kentucky Derby. A few weeks later,

gard his work as a tennis coach? Well, here’s another one of his favorite quotes; this one by another of his favorite authors, John Updike, from the novel, “Rabbit, Run”: “A boy (girl) who has his (her) heart enlarged by an inspiring coach can never become a failure in the greater game of life.” Asked if he plans to resume playing competitive tennis again, he said, “I’d love to if this eye cooperates with me.”

was trying to set Judy up with her own boys, criticizing me and saying ‘Why does she want to be around a sickly boy.’” They married when Judy was 18 and Larry was 21. When the family sold Arnold’s Furniture in 1991, Belinsky “retired” for 18 months, giving him time to train for a spot on the U.S. Masters Maccabiah tennis team for the 1993 Israel World Maccabiah Games. He brought home a silver medal from Israel. “So,” he chuckled, “I was the #2 best Jewish ‘men’s 35 player’ in the world.” It was, he recalled, two weeks to experience and a lifetime to remember. “And I was able to share it with my family and in-laws [who attended the Games and cheered him on.]” “I am what I am,” he said, recalling a line from a play. “I attribute that to my surroundings, to the people I grew up with and to the values that I learned mainly on the tennis court.” He just finished his third season as assistant tennis coach at Canyon Crest Academy. “I coach the girls in the fall for three months and, in the spring, I coach the boys.” Both the girls’ and the boys’ varsity teams this year won the Valley League championships and the Boys Singles and Doubles Individual championships. And how does he re-

ment, from Manchester Avenue to State Route 78, to begin in 2013. “This alternative will improve the quality of life for I-5 travelers by offering new transportation solutions for the future and help to reduce travel times and congestion on the highway,” said Caltrans official Allan Kossup in a prepared statement. People in carpools and vanpools, along with solo drivers purchasing a FasTrak pass, would be able to use the new express lanes. The plan selected by Caltrans and federal highway officials has the smallest footprint, causes the least environmental disturbance, requires the fewest relocations of property owners and has the lowest construction cost of the four alternatives studied, said the Caltrans statement. According to draft environmental documents, the option selected by Caltrans

will require the relocation of 50 residences and 10 businesses in Oceanside and Carlsbad, but no relocations in Solana Beach, Encinitas or San Diego. Caltrans anticipates the release of a comprehensive coastal protection plan for the project early next year, with a final environmental report to be issued in late 2012. The project requires approval from a number of agencies, including the California Coastal Commission, said a Caltrans spokesman. The freeway widening project is part of a larger effort called the North Coast Corridor Program, which will include double-tracking of rail lines from Oceanside to downtown San Diego, $200 million worth of environmental enhancement projects, and construction and improvement of bicycle and pedestrian paths.

Sahadi saddled the Irishbred runner for the Derby, where he finished 14th. The Deputy was sent off at odds of $4.60 to one, the lowest odds ever for a Derby starter trained by a woman. She has saddled 10 runners to win prestigious Grade 1 races, the highest designation, also a record for a female conditioner. She is the leading female trainer in career earnings. “Women have to work harder,” Sahadi was quoted as saying in Women in Racing, a book by John and Julia McAvoy. “We are always going to be a little bit more controversial. In my case, for the most part, it’s always been a first: first Breeders’ Cup, first Santa Anita Derby. If you’re a woman and competing with men at any sort of level, it’s always going to be a first.” And, Sahadi maintains, it’s tougher for women to get top quality horses to train. Her best runner in 2010 was 6-year-old Gotta Have Her, winner of two Turf

stakes races. She won the Palomar last summer at Del Mar and the Royal Heroine at Hollywood Park, both Grade 2 events. Gotta Have Her had a stellar season in 2009, winning eight of her nine starts and finishing a creditable second to colts in the Breeders’ Cup Turf Sprint. She is retired and in foal to standout sire, Medaglia d’Oro, who earned $5.7 million racing for the late Ed Gann of Rancho Santa Fe. A cause close to Sahadi’s heart is the Edwin J. Gregson Foundation which provides college scholarships to children of backstretch workers. Sahadi is heading up the Aug. 8 fundraiser at The Grand Del Mar, honoring the Oak Tree Racing Association which for years was headed by Dr. Jack Robbins, a Rancho Santa Fe resident. Del Mar Thoroughbred Club Chairman Joe Harper will emcee the event. “Eddie and I were good friends,” said Sahadi, who has been president of the Gregson Foundation

since it was founded in 2000. “When Eddie passed away a number of us wanted to do something in his memory.” The Gregson Foundation typically gives out scholarships each year and has helped more than 250 students. Most students start at a community college and then transfer to a state school. Students submit an application, similar to a college application, which then is reviewed by board members of the Foundation. Students who receive scholarships are often the first members of their families to attend college. Tickets to the fundraiser are $250 each and may be purchased by calling Angie Carmona at the California Thoroughbred Trainers’ offices at 626447-2339. Sponsorship packages are also available at the $10,000 and $5,000 levels. For more information, go to the website, gregsonfoundation.com.

Del Mar company designs portable bridge system for U.S. Army BY JOE TASH Contributor Engineers loaded 32 tons of steel plating onto an aluminum bridge erected in the parking lot of an industrial complex, just a bungee jump away from the throngs eating deep-fried Twinkies and riding roller coasters at the San Diego County Fair. The purpose of the exercise was to test whether the bridge, built and designed by ATA Engineering, Inc., of Del Mar, could actually handle the load as predicted by computer models during the bridge’s design. To the engineers and students who built the bridge, the test was the culmination of three years’ work, and maybe even as exciting as a day at the fair. “It was fun for them (the students) and fun for us,” said Gareth Thomas, vice president and technical director of ATA Engineering, of the bridge project. The company took on the task of designing a portable bridge system for the U.S. Army under the Small Business Innovation Research program, run by the U.S. Small Business Administration in conjunction with 11 different federal agencies, including the Department of Defense. The charge was to create a

Gareth Thomas of ATA Engineering is the principal investigator on a prototype lightweight, ultra-strong portable bridge. ATA Engineering has built it under a Small Business Administration contract for the U.S. Army. PHOTO: JON CLARK “bridge in a box,” that could be loaded into a shipping container, flown to a distant location, and erected in 30 minutes by just two people using specialized equipment, said Thomas, who spearheaded the project’s design. The result of the research — and several months of cutting and drilling aluminum beams by a team of UCSD engineering students paid $14 an hour — was a prototype bridge weighing 7,000 pounds, comprised of six interconnecting modules. The prototype bridge is 42 feet

long and designed to carry a load of 60,000 pounds, said Adam Price, an aerospace engineer with ATA Engineering who also worked on the project. The full-scale model of the bridge would span 66 feet and carry up to 100,000 pounds. “What we’ve developed is really a bridge system,” said Thomas. “This design can work for 50-ton tanks.” The bridge is designed to fold up like an accordion and fit into a standard shipping container, which in turn can fit in the hold of a C-130 cargo plane used by the military.

“If it’s in a (standard) container, it can ship by road, rail or air anywhere in the world,” said Thomas. The company rented a warehouse on Jimmy Durante Boulevard, next to the fairgrounds, where the bridge was built. It will now be packed up and sent to Michigan, where officials with the Army’s Tank Automotive Research, Development and Engineering Center, or TARDEC, will evaluate it further and decide whether to order full-scale models. According to Price, the bridge is the largest project the Del Mar company — which has 90 employees, most of them engineers — has actually built from scratch; most of its work is for the aerospace industry, for which it conducts structural analysis of satellites, rockets and airplanes. The company also conducts structural analysis of roller coasters for Southern California theme parks, he said. The bridge resembles an oversized erector set, and because of its modular design, it can be adapted to various lengths, widths and load limits. While the Army commissioned the design for potential use in combat or humanitarian missions, under the federal program,

ATA Engineering retains intellectual property rights, and the bridge system could be used for civilian purposes. ATA has been contacted by a company that is considering whether the concept would work to reduce damage to sensitive habitat such as riverbeds during major construction projects, Thomas said. The project also offered a learning opportunity for local engineering students. Price said UCSD engineering students not only earned some money working on the project, but gained practical experience about materials used in fabricating engineering designs. Andy Youngstrom, a mechanical engineering student from Northeastern University in Boston, just completed an internship with ATA Engineering. One of his duties during the bridge project was to coordinate the schedules of students who worked on the bridge. Projects such as the prototype bridge, he said, gave him a wider range of experiences than many of his peers at Northeastern, and helped him understand the purpose of the abstract concepts he learns in the classroom. “I’ll go back to my classes and have a lot more motivation to be learning this stuff,” he said.

Local teen holding lacrosse clinics for under-served youth Donations of new and used equipment needed BY DIANE WELCH Contributor In following his passion for lacrosse, Alexander Evans-Pfeiffer, 17, a midfielder for La Jolla’s Bishop’s Knights, is now sharing his lacrosse skills with other boys to help improve their game and to instill in them the same level of love that he has for the sport. Since last year he has conducted clinics in Rancho Santa Fe for younger boys, ages 9-12, with an average of 15-20 participants at each. “I love this type of teaching because the boys feel comfortable enough around me to have a lot of fun, but at the same time to respect me as a mentor in accepting my knowledge about the game,” said Alexander. Participants in his two-hour clinics have the opportunity to improve all aspects of their game. “We cover stick work, shooting, game time skills, and finish off with team play/competitive scrimmage. During all of the drills and games, I focus on specific oppor-

tunities to aid an individual or the group as a whole in order to give them focused and personalized coaching,” explained Alexander. Later this summer and through his senior year as his academic schedule allows, Alexander plans to give free lacrosse clinics for under-served youths at the San Diego Center for Children through the STAR/PAL program. Sports Training, Academics, Recreation/Police Athletic League is a nonprofit organization that provides over 10,000 youth services annually in inner-city neighborhoods throughout San Diego. According to its website, STAR/PAL offers free educational, athletic, and recreational programs which focus on promoting youth safety, positive life choices, and academic success. For these clinics Alexander needs donations of new and used equipment of all kinds –helmets, sticks, heads, shoulder pads, elbow pads, and balls. “If someone has gear in their garage that they no longer want, or new equipment that they have never used, please consider donating it,” he asked. Alexander’s passion for lacrosse started when he was in the

Scorer, 2011, 2010; Coastal League Champion, 2011; San Diego Union Tribune All Academic Team Scholar Athlete Award, 2011; and many more. His success at school also afforded him the opportunity to participate in the elite lacrosse programs, West Coast Starz, and RC (Regional) Elite. In running his own specialized clinics Alexander is aided by his mother, Lena Evans. “My mother is very tied into the San Diego community so she is assisting me with targeting charities that I can share my skills with and sponsors who will support our projects,” he said. Alexander strives to expose lacrosse to younger boys who have perhaps never thought of the sport. “I want to see California lacrosse gain the respect of traditional lacrosse hot-beds on the East Coast. With West Coast children starting at a young age, I think this goal will become a reality soon! I am happy to be contributing to this growth,” he said. To find out more about Alexander’s clinics, or to donate lacrosse equipment, visit his Facebook fan page Youth Lacrosse Clinic or email him at AlexanderEvansPfeiffer@gmail.com.

Alexander Evans-Pfeiffer eighth grade, “When I first picked up a stick,” he said. Alexander will be a senior at The Bishop’s School in La Jolla, when school resumes in the fall. He was fortunate to have learned from some of the top lacrosse coaches in San Diego. “Coaches Steve Sepeta, Jono Zissi, Hamilton Pollard, Colby Rhodes, and Chuck Wagner have all contributed to my knowledge of the game and are the foundation of my success,” Alexander explained.

Past accolades include an invitation to attend The Elite 180 recruiting camp at Keene State University in New Hampshire. “Athletes attending must meet requirements that make them eligible to play at high-caliber institutions,” said Alexander. “My team won the whole tournament, and I was the highest scoring midfielder; I assisted with the championship game-winning goal.” Recent awards include Bishop’s Knights Leading Goal & Point

Experienced racing trainer hired to manage Rancho Paseana BY JULIE SARNO Contributor The white fences, palm trees and topiary horses announce one has reached Rancho Paseana in Rancho Santa Fe. Even before one glimpses beautiful Thoroughbreds, enters the barns or watch horses gallop on the training track, it’s evident that the training center is a special place. One of the largest equine properties in San Diego County, Rancho Paseana is owned by Jenny Craig. The farm is named for Paseana, a champion race mare campaigned by Jenny and her late husband, Sid. In late June, Clifford Sise began his new job as farm manager/trainer for Rancho Paseana. Sise has been involved in racing since he was a teenager. Formerly a trainer, Sise disbanded his public stable of 25 horses, sending them to trainers including John Sadler, Jerry Hollendorfer, Marty Jones, Hector Palma and Paul Aguirre, all of whom will race at Del Mar during the race meet. Growing up near Santa Anita, Sise lived in a neighborhood full of racing people. So it was no surprise when he became a jockey in his late teens. After outgrowing that career, he worked for trainers Lou Glauberg and Noble Threewitt. Sise took out his trainer’s license in 1970. Since then he has

trained horses at Southern California tracks, taking out a few years to run a catering business. His best year was in 2007, when horses he trained compiled earnings of $2,128,998. His top runner that year was Idiot Proof, owned by Rancho Santa Fe residents Marty and Pam Wygod. Idiot Proof set a

track record winning the Jersey Shores Breeders’ Cup, took the Grade 1 Ancient Title Stakes at Santa Anita, and finished second to Midnight Lute in the Breeders’ Cup Sprint (G1) at Monmouth Park. Idiot Proof now stands at stud at Don and Karen Cohn’s Ballena Vista Farm near Ramona.

and rider. Sise is enthusiastic about working at Rancho Paseana. He credits former farm manager Mary Knight with initiating projects which Sise will now complete. A major one is to have Rancho Paseana designated as an approved training center. At approved training centers, horses may train at the farm and ship to the track the day they race. This approval is given by the California Horse Racing Board, the governing body for racing in the state. Sise said he has surveyors scheduled to come to the farm to confirm that the distances marked by the poles on the racetrack are correct, so that if a horse works a half mile, the distance is indeed accurate. Once approval is received, Sise will schedule a clocker (someone who times the horses) to be at Rancho Paseana during morning training hours. The clocker is given the names of the runners to be worked and the distances. He then times them with a stopwatch and the work is published in Daily Racing Form as a required part of the past performances used to evaluate the runner as a betting prospect. Sise relishes the challenge of running Rancho Paseana and supervising the horses there. For more information, visit www.rpaseana. com

“Rancho Paseana is a beautiful place,” said Sise, who lives at the training center with his wife, Lorrie. “Running it and working for Jenny Craig is a plus.” According to Mrs. Craig, she selected Sise because of his longtime experience conditioning racehorses. The training center, located in Rancho Santa Fe, was purchased by the Craigs in 1995. It was originally developed in the mid-1980s by the late Gene Klein, then owner of the San Diego Chargers, and Hall of Fame trainer D. Wayne Lukas. At that time, it was called Rancho del Rayo. Rancho Paseana is over 220 acres and features a three-quarter mile dirt training track. The track surface was newly redone by Richard Tedesco, who also oversees the racing surface for Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. Rancho Paseana was put up for sale one year ago. According to Craig, her main reason for selling the ranch is that since Sid died, it has been too much responsibility as she has other properties. Her children do not share the same enthusiasm or passion for the horse business or racing. Currently, Rancho Paseana is home to about 90 horses which are under Sise’s daily supervision. More than half are actively in training, some are recuperating from injuries. In August, young horses come in to become accustomed to saddle

will be issued starting next week, he said. Several officials with the Del Mar Village Association, a nonprofit merchants’ group, spoke in favor of the prohibition at the Council meeting. Jim Coleman, owner of an insurance agency and the DMVA’s ombudsman, wrote in an email to the council that the situation with taxis was “totally out of control.” “Our restaurants and retailers are being hurt by the loss of available parking; our residents and visitors are being treated rudely by taxi drivers holding public parking spaces for other taxis; our streets and sidewalks are being littered with cigarette butts being thrown down by these drivers; and overall

DISPENSARY continued from page A1 a permanent injunction to put the cooperative out of business, while Kennedy and his attorney seek to have the ruling overturned, which would allow the co-

our downtown village has taken quite a beating from the behavior of these individuals,” Coleman wrote. The urgency ordinance provides for four parking spaces to be designated as a taxi stand from 10 p.m. to 8 a.m. each day. The spaces are in front of Jimmy O’s Restaurant/Bar, 225 15th St. Before 10 p.m., taxis will be allowed to park only when picking up and dropping off passengers. Council members and city staff stressed that they want to make sure taxis are available at night, so that people who are inebriated don’t get behind the wheel. “After 10 o’clock, we clearly want them there,” said Vergne. But he noted that in recent months, taxis have begun parking near the intersection of 15th Street and Camino Del Mar as ear-

ly as 4 or 5 p.m., and remaining in place throughout the afternoon and evening. “It’s been getting worse and worse over the past few years,” said Lt. Eric Sandy of the city’s parking enforcement division. One evening, said Sandy, he saw taxicabs lining both sides of 15th Street for a two-block stretch. While city officials said they attempted to contact taxi companies to discuss the problem, many of the taxis in Del Mar are independently owned and operated by drivers, meaning there is no single point of contact. Currently, 190 taxis are licensed to operate in Del Mar. Operators pay $98 per year for a Del Mar taxi permit, plus $50 per vehicle, and a business license of $30 or more, depending on the

taxi’s annual revenue. At 8 p.m. on Monday, immediately after the council’s vote, two taxis were parked on 15th Street near Camino Del Mar. One driver, Samad Parvin, a Del Mar resident who has been driving a taxi in Del Mar for five years, was unaware of the complaints to the city, or that the ordinance had been passed by the council. “This is not fair. I don’t know why they can pass this law for taxis. They give me a permit for working here and no place to park,” Parvin said. He noted several open parking spaces along 15th Street, and said the public can also park at a nearby lot, which costs 25 cents an hour during the daytime, and is free at night. If drivers cannot park, they will waste too much

gasoline driving around, Parvin said. While he conceded that there are sometimes too many taxis on busy weekend nights, at other times, he said there are not enough taxis to meet the demand. With numerous bars and restaurants in the vicinity, Parvin said, the city needs taxis to drive people who have been drinking. Drivers had no idea the city was contemplating such an ordinance, Parvin said. “They never came to talk to the drivers,” he said. The council also voted Monday to implement a permanent ordinance, which will come back before the council on July 25 for final adoption. The council also directed city staff to research the establishment of taxi franchise agreements, which would replace the

current system of taxi permits, and allow the city to limit the number of taxis in the city and regulate their operation, according to a staff report. In other business: • At the request of the city’s Sustainability Advisory Board, the council directed staff to research a federal Department of Energy program that would provide free electric vehicle chargers and assistance with installation costs in the city of Del Mar. • Directed city staff not to negotiate for the lease or purchase of temporary buildings now in place on the Shores property, and instead ask the Del Mar Union School District to remove the buildings when the district vacates the property this month.

operative to reopen. “We have to do what a judge told us to do. We respect that. We don’t like it, but we respect it and we’ll have our day in court in two or three weeks,” Kennedy said. “I’m very sad for all of our patients that depended

on us to provide their medication,” said Kennedy, 55, a father of three who also runs a construction and solar energy contracting business. “It’s a huge setback for safe access for medical marijuana patients.” Since the cooperative opened its doors on April 1, it has signed up 800 members who have recommendations from their doctors to use medical marijuana for a variety of conditions, Kennedy said. The city has been seeking the closure of the cooperative since the day it opened, when a city planning official hand-delivered a letter to Kennedy, notifying him that his business license was revoked and that the cooperative violated city zoning rules. Kennedy remained open in defiance of the city’s edict, amassing fines of more than $25,000, according to deputy city attorney Robert Mahlowitz. The lawsuit filed by the city alleged that Kennedy was operating without a business license, and that he violated city zoning laws. Del Mar’s current zoning laws do not allow medical marijuana dispen-

saries anywhere in the city. “He’s just chosen to ignore the city’s laws,” said Mahlowitz. The city’s lawsuit also named the building’s owners, Junie and Wayne C. Young. In order to legally operate such a business in Del Mar, Mahlowitz said, Kennedy would have had to go before the city Planning Commission to request a “determination of allowable use.” But Kennedy said no one at the city asked him to submit such a request; instead, he said, he filled out two different applications for a business license, paid his fees and was told the receipt served as his temporary license. The first business license was subsequently revoked, while the second application is pending. “I always told them I’d do anything they wanted me to do. The problem was they wanted me to leave town,” Kennedy said. Because no current zoning category exists for a medical marijuana dispensary in Del Mar, he said, “it’s a ban on medical marijuana.” The importance of the

issue was driven home, he said, the day the city attorney came to the cooperative to deliver the lawsuit papers. Just as the attorney was leaving, Kennedy said, a caregiver wheeled in a patient suffering from prostate cancer. “The irony was unbelievable, the timing, like a sign from God that you should stay the course,” he said. While he believes he would ultimately win the legal battle, he said the cost of an appeal would be prohibitive, and he may not be able to take the case further than the Aug. 4 hearing before Judge Hayes. California voters approved Prop. 215 in 1997, allowing patients with conditions ranging from glaucoma to cancer to possess and use marijuana for medicinal purposes. Marijuana’s benefits, according to some patients and caregivers, include relief of nausea and appetite stimulation for cancer patients undergoing radiation and chemotherapy treatments. Mayor Don Mosier said the city will wait until the current litigation over the 1105 Cooperative is settled before considering

an ordinance that allows and regulates medical marijuana dispensaries. “I think it’s an open issue,” as to whether dispensaries are allowed in the future, he said. Mosier said he has heard both support and opposition on the topic, and that the council would seek the opinions of Del Mar residents before moving forward with such an ordinance.

TPHS graduate Michael Kim receives Del Mar Rotary’s ‘Erik Scott Sorensen Service-Above-Self’ Award The Rotary Club of Del Mar Erik Scott Sorensen Service-Above-Self Award is presented to a Torrey Pines student who, though physically challenged, is an inspiration to fellow students because of his/her positive approach to life and readiness to volunteer, capturing the spirit of Erik Scott Sorensen and the principles of Rotary. Erik faced the progressive degeneration of Muscular Dystrophy and was the only wheelchair-bound student at Torrey Pines High School (at that time). Erik was greatly respected by both students and faculty for his amazing attitude and accomplishments. After Erik’s death in 1995, the Rotary Club of Del Mar named this award in his memory. This year’s recipient, Michael Kim, is a recent graduate of Torrey Pines High School. Michael,18, is a bilateral above-theknee amputee. He has been volunteering as the chess club director at the Carmel Valley Library and after-school arts/music/academic tutor at Logan Elementary for the past three years. He also volunteers at various projects as a National Honor Society and California Scholarship Federation member. Michael has never let his disability get in the way of life. He enjoys playing the piano (he studied 10 years of classical piano and theory), tuba, jazz music, video games, reading and hanging out with his friends over a good meal. He will be attending UCLA this fall to study neuroscience. Photos/Jon Clark

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Physician brings unique experience to specialty in women’s health BY DIANE Y. WELCH CONTRIBUTOR After a 21-year career as a locum tenens physician (a physician who substitutes for other doctors), Dr. Timothy Bilash is planting his professional roots in Solana Beach. Board certified in obstetrics and gynecology, Bilash is licensed in 11 states, but now his heart belongs to Southern California. Accustomed to change – Bilash has moved 35 times since high school – his marriage last July to Roya, a bridge engineer, brought Bilash to Del Mar and led to the practice he now has in Solana Beach. His new office reflects his desire to specialize in women’s health and to provide a relaxing environment, less like a doctor’s office and more like a spa. Working in numerous locations from military hospitals to HMOs, Bilash has a broad range of skills and experience and, as a result, has designed his own office to be “less institutionalized,” he said. Bilash says he’s a scientist at heart. He received his bachelor of science in physics from the University of Albany, then later completed Medical Scholars, an integrated, double-degree program, at the University of Illinois, receiving both his MD degree and MS in physics from the College of Medicine. His four-year residency in OB/GYN was completed at the Albany Medical Center in New York. Bilash specializes in female health-related issues such as fatigue, weight concern, depression, menopause, fertility and libido. For the last decade he has been concentrating on endocrine balance. “Medicine has had a misfocus, it has tended to emphasize genetics and laboratory medicine, and the scientific information is overlooked,” he said. Instead, Bilash concentrates on underlying mechanisms, such as physiology, pathology and the natural history of disease, using that information to make better decisions. He regards the hormone system as “the glue that ties things together.” The medical field should strive for clarity in the nature versus nurture debate, he believes, and should also look

at things like the environment rather than looking solely at genetic factors. The two endocrine areas Bilash has focused on are estrogen and thyroid. From his own research there appears to be almost an epidemic of thyroid disease, he said, a condition that he has had Dr. Timothy Bilash a lot of clinical success in treating and one that he has a passion for. He has also studied neurochemistry, and sex and adrenal steroid chemistries, as they relate to menopause, mood and health, and, as a result, he is a strong advocate for hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Bilash is held in high regard by his peers, testaments show. One colleague wrote: “He is an extremely well-rounded human being of multiple interests and skills as well as a person of great medical and human insight.” Bilash will be ready for patients in August. Until then he offers free seminars on Thursdays from 6-8 p.m. at his offices (address below). Dates and topics include: July 21: Glucose, fructose and weight gain; Aug. 4: Fatigue and thyroid; Aug. 11: Good fat/bad fat; Aug. 18: Vitamin B12: the master vitamin; Aug. 25: Why you need estrogen. He also has a website that uses expert research and clinical information to highlight important health issues with an emphasis on nutrition, estrogen and thyroid. Visit www. DrTimDelivers.com to learn more. Dr. Bilash is located at 765 Academy Drive, Solana Beach, 92075; (858) 997-0212.

Kids Korps summer volunteer camps develop leaders for life through youth volunteerism •CITY OF SOLANA BEACH’S SUPPORT APPRECIATED By Ashley Howard, senior at Cathedral High School Yet another summer volunteer camp came and went at La Colonia Park in Solana Beach this June, starting with smiles and hellos and ending with melancholy farewells and goodbyes. During the week, new and returning counselors and campers experienced first hand the ways of volunteering. For many of the youth, volunteering was unfamiliar, foreign territory. Despite their unfamiliarity, the campers were eager to start the week with the decoration of smART meters and activities with Paws’itive teams therapy dogs. Even after taking part in camp as a teen counselor for five weeks of camp over three summers, I continue to be amazed at the energy and effort the kids put into the different projects. Ranging from ages six to twelve, the campers were hardly shy after the first hour. Coming for different reasons and from different places in the county, campers and counselors worked extremely well together to make a difference in their San Diego community. Throughout the week the group of youth participated in cleaning up the beach, coloring and packing bags at Feeding America for kids from low-income homes, preparing dog treats with seniors at the senior center, painting banners for the breast cancer walk, making blankets for kids in foster care, and much more. In a period of less than two hours at the food bank,

twenty campers and twelve teens were able to pack 375 bags of snacks, color 300 meal bags for kids, and package 400 bags of cereal. The amount of people affected by the help of these kids is stupendous! The youth show such zest for volunteering and care for helping people they don’t even know. Each project had a different focus, whether informative about the ways we San Diegans can conserve energy or interactive with therapy dogs and their role aiding others, we all had a blast learning something new. The campers and counselors developed their responsibility, leadership, and team building skills and discovered how rewarding and enjoyable volunteering truly is. Seeing teens and young campers take part in projects together gives me hope for the future, hope that we all can focus a little less on ourselves and a little more on those in need. I know we kids and teens have the ability to make a tremendous impact on the community, an even bigger impact than we have already made. Surely, these kids and the San Diego community have a promising future. The first week I did the Kids Korps summer camp, my motivation was the completion of service hours required at school. After my first week, my motivation became helping the homeless and the underprivileged, and so I came back for a second, third, fourth and fifth week, and the experience only became more rewarding. I learned more, helped more people, interacted with more kids, and made

Mason McCreary, Anna McCreary, and Mirella Garcia picking up trash at Carlsbad new friends. The projects that Kids Korps exposed me to during these weeks allowed me to find my passions. I became a better leader and over the weeks have taken on new leadership roles. Volunteering has caused me to be more grateful and compassionate, and I know I want to volunteer for the rest of my life. Kids Korps really does a fantastic job “developing leaders for life through youth volunteerism!” Thank you to the City of Solana Beach for providing funding to make these camps possible for so many deserving children.

The bell has been silent too long — Let it ring out again! For decades the bronze bell rang out from the tower adjacent to St. Leo Mission. It joyfully proclaimed hundreds of births, baptisms, marriages and sacred masses being celebrated. It rang slowly and solemnly acknowledging the deaths and passing of parishioners – those especially loved and remembered. Likewise, it announced hundreds of other celebrations and remembrances. Most importantly, it served to remind residents and parishioners of Christ’s presence. The bell and the bell tower, like many early residents living in Eden Gardens, experienced difficult and challenging times. The community’s first residents were migrant workers, laborers and their families who settled in the area in 1912. They did not have a church until 1942 when an old barracks building from Camp Callan was moved near the present church site. In 1959, the

adjacent freeway 5 was expanded, claiming the eastern section of the church property and displacing the church itself. Undaunted parishioners committed themselves to rebuilding the church upon a nearby concrete platform previously set aside to construct a community hall. A simple church of minimal cost ($2,000) was built by the parishioners themselves. Despite its modest design and construction, it won a national religion architectural award for “achieving maximum results under absolutely minimum conditions.” In 2004, the wooden bell tower was discovered to be termite-ridden and had to be demolished. One might ask, “where is the bell today — the bell which was such a significant and integral part of the spiritual life of the community?” It lies in the back of St. Leo church, covered

with a canvas tarp that protects it from the elements. A group of parishioners from both churches are championing the restoration of the bell and the tower. In this Centennial year it seems an appropriate tribute to all those who struggled to establish a mission church. The bell has been silent too long; Let it ring out again! The bell will be transported to St. James Church’s, Patio of the Bells, for Bishop Brom’s celebration of a Centennial Mass, thanking God for all the blessing He has bestowed upon St. James–St. Leo Catholic Community over the last 100 years. The bell will be blessed as the official sign of our commitment to its restoration as a part of our legacy. Please join us on Saturday, July 23, at 5 p.m. and contribute to this inspired effort. Dr. Anthony Corso

Local students raising money to Local Rotary clubs begin a new year help Joplin Elementary School dedicated to â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;service above selfâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; By Sharyn Daly, president, Del Mar Rotary Club Welcome to the wonderful world of Rotary where friends gather to promote â&#x20AC;&#x153;service above selfâ&#x20AC;? activities and put them into action in our community. Rotarians are business and professional men and women who are community leaders united worldwide to conduct humanitarian projects, encourage high ethical standards in all vocations and help build goodwill and peace in the world. Rotary is the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first and foremost service club. It originated in Chicago in 1905 and the name Rotary was chosen because the club then met weekly in rotation at each memberâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s place of business. The Del Mar Rotary Club was established May 4,1954 and is part of District #5340 consisting of 58 clubs in San Diego and Imperial Counties. Learn more about Rotary and join our 1.2 million members internationally who put humanitarian needs above themselves at Rotary.org. A new year begins each July and the new presidents extend an invitation to you to come join us for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;free lunchâ&#x20AC;? and find out about us as we â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reach within to embrace humanityâ&#x20AC;? which is this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s vision from our international president, Kalyan Banerjee of India. Please read about The Del Mar Rotary Club on the web at DelMarRotary.org. President Sharyn Daly invites you on Thursdays for our lunch meeting at St. Peterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Episcopal Church Hall on 15th St. in Del Mar. In Rancho Santa Fe, president Alan Balfour (RanchoSantaFeRotary.org) invites you for lunch at noon on Mondays at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe.

days (7:15 a.m.) at the Doubletree Hotel in Carmel Valley. The Rotary Clubs have a business meeting and an interesting speaker at each meeting. Each club is comprised of five areas of service: Community, International, New Generations, Vocational and Club service. These committees work hard to make a difference in the Del Mar, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, Carmel Valley areas, as well as internationally. Our fundraisers and generous sponsors support our good works. We also have lots of fun. Del Mar has just finished a Sunset Soiree at the Del Mar Plaza where silent and live auction items raised over $25,000 for the committee work while we watched a great sunset and danced with cocktails and appetizers supplied by local restaurants. The next fundraiser is the â&#x20AC;&#x153;freeâ&#x20AC;? Chili and Quackerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenge where locals and restaurants compete for the Chili Trophy while watching their â&#x20AC;&#x153;yellow rubber duckyâ&#x20AC;? surf the waves and race toward the beach. The Del Mar lifeguards produce the fastest ducks who win great prizes. This local community park day is planned for Saturday, Oct. 15, from 3-6 p.m. Watch for opportunities to sponsor ducks and be a corporate sponsor for the event. Check it out at ChiliandQuackers.com or DelMarRotary.org. We look forward to meeting you and finding you a place in our organizations to enjoy participating in â&#x20AC;&#x153;service above selfâ&#x20AC;? activities and helping our community and world.

BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Three siblings will host a lemonade stand in front of the Del Mar Highlandsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ralphs this weekend to raise money for the Joplin Elementary School District, devastated during Mayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s deadly Missouri tornado. Siblings Taylor, who is almost 10, Ben, 8, and Sarah, 6, Niehart will sell their lemonade on Sunday, July 17, from 12-2 p.m. in front of the store. They hosted an additional sale this week and Ben said they want to raise â&#x20AC;&#x153;a lot of moneyâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D; their goal is $1,000 to $2,000. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want to make a difference to people,â&#x20AC;? said Taylor. The tornado struck Joplin on May 22 and all of the area schools suffered damage. Some, like Franklin Technology Center, Irving Elementary and Joplin High School, were completely destroyed. Seven district students, as well as one staff member, were killed in the catastrophe. Despite the devastation, the district is rebuilding and is determined to have more than 260 classrooms operational on the first day of school, Aug. 17. The Nieharts want to make sure the students have a great start to their year and hope to send school supplies in addition to funds. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We know what school supplies they need because Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been in every grade in elementary school except sixth,â&#x20AC;? said Taylor. The Nieharts also want to send gift cardsâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;the only stores still standing are a local Target and Office Max.

The childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s project was inspired by a story that Taylorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth grade teacher Pam Kyle sent home this year about a man throwing starfish into the ocean. In the story, an old man walked up and asked why he was throwing Taylor, Ben and Sarah starfish, Niehart are raising when there money for students in were so Joplin. PHOTO: KAREN BILLING many on the beach. He told him he couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t possibly make a difference. But as the young man threw another into the ocean, he said that it made a difference for that one starfish. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We talked about how we could make a difference in small ways,â&#x20AC;? mom Heidi Niehart said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;(The tornado) hit me really hard. It was so unbelievable to see the devastation afterward.â&#x20AC;? If you are unable to make it to the lemonade stand but still want to contribute, contact Heidi at niehart@yahoo.com.

North Shore 8U gold all-star team earns spot at state tourney The North Shore 8U gold all-star team recently secured a spot at the State Tournament by winning four consecutive games at the North County Girls Softball District Championships. North Shore opened the tournament with a 4-0 victory over Ramona, then went on to beat Poway 6-5 in an extra-inning classic. The two teams battled throughout the game. In the top of the seventh inning, Poway was ahead 5-3. However, North Shore emerged victorious as they pulled off their biggest comeback of the season, thanks to RBI singles by Jenna Remick, Nikki Wood, and Lauren Ziment to win 6-5. Defense was key, as North Shore beat Vista 4-2. In the second inning with North Shore ahead 1-0, a perfect relay from Emily Bycott in right field to Remick to Wood erased Vista’s tying run at the plate. Vista attempted a comeback late in the game, but North Shore played solid defense to earn a spot in the winners’ bracket. A battle ensued between North Shore and San Marcos for a spot in the district finals and a berth in the State Tournament. North Shore pulled off a win to clinch both, thanks in part to a double play by Anna Herrmann, who caught a line drive to center field and then made a strong throw to first base in the third inning. Pitcher Vivienne Franke recorded her sixth strikeout of the game to preserve the 3-2 victory. “We played our best game of the season,” said North Shore manager Doug Franke of the battle against San Marcos. “Vivienne was brilliant in the circle, we played outstanding defense, and we got base hits exactly when we needed them.” San Marcos eventually made their way to the finals through the losers’ bracket. In Game 5 and Game 6, San Marcos beat North Shore 9-5 and 9-3 to take the District Championship. “It was a great weekend for these girls,” said North Shore manager Doug Franke. “Their effort in the first four games was nothing short of phenomenal. We are excited to represent North Shore in the State Tournament.” Whenever possible, North Shore’s 12U team, which also qualified for the State Tournament, was in the stands to cheer on the 8U team, as both mentors and fans. “During the all-star season, these two teams have really bonded,” said manager Franke. “It was great to see the two teams celebrating together.”

The inherently unselfish role seems like a natural fit for the incoming senior, who’s known for putting others before herself in just about everything she does on and off the court. Sherman has spent parts of the last three summers doing charitable work in farflung locations such as Costa Rica, Australia and Thailand. And when doctors recommended she at least cutback her year-round volleyball after developing a debilitating shoulder injury, she gave up the more individually-focused club volleyball circuit so she could focus on her high school team. “I always take care of others before I take care of myself,” Sherman said. “I know that can be bad, but I’m working on it.” Sherman earlier this month returned from a two-week program in Thailand teaching small children how to swim on rice fields that often flood without warning. She’s spent parts of the last two summers cleaning polluted beaches in Costa Rica and Australia. The programs are run by Rustic Pathways, a nonprofit group dedicated to promoting the development of life skills through community service. “Most of these kids don’t know how to swim and a lot of them drown in the rice fields, so one of programs was getting them comfortable swimming on their backs,” she said of her work in Thailand. “Just teaching them basic things to help them survive, it’s such a great feeling.” Sherman has experienced a different kind of exhilaration on the volleyball court. She’s a three-time All-San Diego Section Div. V selection and three time all-league selection (twice in the Citrus League West, and once in the Coastal League North). As a sophomore she helped lead the Lions to the program’s first appearance in the Div. V finals in 2010. The Lions became SDJA’s only team in any sport to advance to the state playoffs that year. Last season, she led the team in assists with 285 and was second in service aces (69), helping the Lions advance to the Div. V semifinals. Sherman has played her entire SDJA career with a shoulder injury she developed during a weight-lifting camp three years ago. The pain started in her right trapezius muscle, then spread to her left shoulder, and eventually her neck and back. She said doctors believe the injury is caused by her muscles not pulling at each other properly. “That’s what we think it is because of the location and the (pain),” she said. “There might be some nerves involved too, but we think (the injury) is muscle based.” The pain is present when she’s active and inactive. She said it’s moderate when she’s going through her daily routines, but flares up during strenuous activity. She takes anti-inflammatory medication and wraps her shoulder in ice after matches. “It’s tough because it’s something that’s out of your control and I like to have control over what I’m doing,” Sherman said. “The fact that we don’t know what’s causing it makes it really hard. If we knew, I’d be more settled.

Katie Sherman “I guess I’ve learned to accept that are some things that we can’t control. That’s probably the biggest thing I’ve learned from this.” Rothman was playing year-round at the time of the diagnosis for the Solana Beach Volleyball club team and SDJA. She initially ignored doctors orders to at least give up one, but eventually capitulated, dropping her club team when the pain got to be too much after her sophomore year. “I had such a connection with my school,” she said. “I’ve been going there since kindergarten and it was really important to me to support it.” Teammates say Sherman rarely complains about the pain. “You never even see it on her face,” said teammate and co-captain Gabi Rothman. “That’s what scares me, even if she hurt herself so bad she would never say it. The only time we noticed it was after one of the games. She literally could not stand up. She had ice packs on her shoulder, and she’d just played the whole game. Nobody knew that she was in pain the whole time.” Sherman’s toughness inspires teammates. “It’s just a big eye-opener,” Rothman said. “As a teammate when I’m feeling really tired and I want to take a break it kind of reminds me that there’s something else going on, that there are other people with much bigger injuries. “It really is very inspiring. It says a lot about her character and just the way she is.” Sherman, who along with Rothman are co-captains, said she’s embraced her leadership role, but she said she isn’t trying send any particular message playing through her injury. “I’m not striving to prove anything,” she said. “I’m just trying to show that I’m there for them, no matter what.” But through her actions, she’s sent a powerful message to her teammates, SDJA coach Melissa Maxwell said. “Her heart is huge and she has so much passion for the game,” Maxwell said. “You can teach skills but you can’t teach passion, you can’t teach attitude.” Sherman said her travels abroad have shaped her attitude towards the circumstances surrounding her injury. “Going on those trips just humbled me,” she said. ”I realized that even though my pain is sometimes unbearable, I have it so much better than a lot of people. I have to realize that if this is the one thing I have to deal with in my life, then I’m so lucky.”

Q& A

Yanov changes reality for inner-city teens After working with gang members for five years, Reality Changers founder Christopher Yanov felt that it was not right that most inner-city teenagers today know more people who have been shot or killed in the street than people who are on the road to college. As a response, Reality Changers began in May 2001 with four eighth-grade students at the Hispanic Presbyterian Church near downtown San Diego with the hope of building first generation college students. Starting with just $300 to its name, Reality Changers has given more scholarship awards to collegeChristopher Yanov bound students than any Photo/Alan Decker other single organization in San Diego County since 2006, according to its web site (www.realitychangers.org). Reality Changers opened two more chapters in Solana Beach (2004) and in City Heights (2006), with both new sites led by program graduates. Recently named by San Diego Magazine as one of San Diego’s new civic power brokers, Reality Changers President Christopher Yanov raised and awarded more than $1 million in scholarships to inner-city students before turning 30 years old. Yanov earned four college degrees in just five years. He graduated in two-and-a-half years from UC San Diego with a bachelor’s degree in political science and Spanish literature. Yanov also completed two master’s programs at UCSD with degrees in peace and justice, and international relations. Yanov was selected as an inaugural commissioner of the San Diego Commission on Gang Prevention and Intervention, and is the chairman of the San Diego Regional Chamber of Commerce’s Education and Workforce Development Committee. He is also putting the finishing touches on his book “How to End Gang Violence in America.”

Fields could potentially be larger this season, as Del Mar has started a “Ship and Win” program that awards incentives to owners from out-of-state who start runners at the track. More horses in a race usually mean better wagering opportunities and can lead to higher purses, said Tom Robbins, Del Mar Thoroughbred Club’s executive vice president for racing, in a news release. “We’re encouraged by the response we’ve gotten so far,” said Mac McBride, director of media for the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. “There’s at least a halfdozen trainers with serious strings (10plus runners). We’re ready to rock and roll.” There will be two new wagers during the meeting, in addition to the seaside oval’s usual types of bets. The Pick Five

Restaurants set scene for music, laughter in ‘Five Course Love’ BY DIANA SAENGER Contributor The zany, romantic comedy “Five Course Love,” written by Gregg Coffin, has received glowing reviews in cities where it’s been staged. Rick Simas, a North Coast Repertory Theatre occasional director, returns to helm the show. He took time to talk about the summer production. How did this play end up in the season line-up? I found out about it through one of my students at San Diego State, Omri Schein, who has a role in the play. He told me to get the CD, and that it was a new musical. I got it, loved the songs and the story. Then another alum of mine, Kristen Mengelkoch, appeared in a production and mentioned it. When David Ellenstein (NCRT artistic director) asked for a recommendation for the season, I suggested “Five Course Love.” It’s a love story that takes place in five different themed restaurants, correct? Yes. The first scene takes place at Dean’s Old-Fashioned All-American Down-Home Barbecue Texas Eats. The next stop is Trattoria Pericolo, an Italian restaurant in

Starlite Diner, a kind of Happy Days-like malt shop, and the characters are bubble-gumish. Describe the show’s style. It reminds me of Sid Caesar’s “Show of Shows,” and later the “Carol Burnett Show,” where Harvey Korman and Tim Conway would do these outrageous sketches in different styles, and sing, as well. This show has country, operatic, German cabaret-style music, and the Mexican restaurant character is a take off on Zorro. The 1950’s diner has characters like in “Grease.”

Is comedy hard to pull off when it relies on the audience getting the joke at just the right moment? Absolutely. When you start working on a piece like this, that is very much about the comedy and physical timing and doing vaudeville turns, it’s funny to everyone as you’re reading through it the first time. But after two weeks of working to make it crisp and clean, it’s not funny to us anymore. I’ve directed more than 100 musicals and these shows depend on the audience and what they find funny. So those first few preview shows are critical to getting a sense

of how the audience responds and the changes we need to make. Tell us about the cast. I have terrific actors. Omri

Schein (Dean, Carlo, Heimlich, Ernesto) just did a European tour of “Grease,” and was in my shows at NCRT of “The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee” and “The Big Bang.” Kristen Mengelkoch (Barbie, Sofia, Gretchen, Rosalinda, Kitty) is a New York-actor who came to the Rep to do “I Love You Because,” and she’s done this show before. Those two referred me to Kevin B. McGlynn (Matt, Gino, Klaus, Guillermo, Clutch), our third actor, because he’s done a lot of “Forbidden Broadway.” “Five Course Love” requires people who can do lots of different accents, sing in different styles, and move a lot. It’s demanding for the actors. What will audiences like about this show? It’s very entertaining, fastpaced and only 80-minutes with no intermission, however, due to some material, I would recommend it for mature teens and older. There is a connection between the first scene and the last restaurant that I think will surprise the audience. The show has great music, a nice romantic feeling, lots of laughs, and is just great for a fun night out. Laughter is important for all of us.

‘Cardiff Kook’ meets the digital age with phone app

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY JONATHAN HELLER Contributor It’s been dressed up as Cupid. It’s been devoured by a papier-mâché shark. It’s even been depicted as a ballerina. But now, those who wish to deface the infamous “Cardiff Kook” surfing statue don’t have to venture out in the middle of the night and risk jail time, or even climb a ladder. A local software designer has made it possible to put your face – or anyone’s face – on the Kook using an innovative app you can download on your iPhone. Randy Ullrich, CEO of RapDevPro, calls it “virtual vandalism.” The Cardiff Kook, whose given name is “Magic Carpet Ride,” was built in 2007 and almost immediately panned by the surfing community. Although the artist intended to portray a young boy learning to surf, local surfers thought the 16-foot, limp-wristed statue was awkward and downright goofy.

Since then, it has become something of a local sport to clothe the Kook in all manner of humiliating garb in honor of holidays, celebrities or even presidents. It was recently dressed up as Oprah. “You know, I didn’t have a strong opinion of the statue when it was put up, but I thought the community’s reaction to it was hilarious,” said Ullrich, 47. Ullrich, who had already developed an app that lets you put faces on everything from Mt. Rushmore to the Mona Lisa, thought it would be fun to apply the software code to the local icon. But he needed photographs of the statue in its natural, unclothed state, which were actually hard to get given how regularly the statue is vandalized. “After four tries, I figured out that the best time to go was mid-week, without any hint of a holiday in the near future,” he said. The app, named simply, “The Cardiff Kook,” in-

cludes 32 templates of the statue with a hole where the face should be. Users can upload an image of their face – or any face – and superimpose it atop the statue’s neck. The templates show the Kook digitally clothed in outfits for all the major holidays and even include several called “Dead Kook,” which depict it being hanged, nailed to a cross, about to jump off a building and being eaten by a shark. Although he has not launched a serious marketing effort yet, the app is already drawing praise on Apple’s App Store. “They did The Cardiff Kook justice. Nice!” wrote “Yoma,” who gave the app five stars. “As a local, I think this is hilarious!” opined “Tickledpink4453.” The app has also intrigued at least one local surfing enthusiast. “I think it’s sorta cool,” said Terry Rodgers, former surfing columnist for the San Diego Union-

Tribune. “I mean, the history of this piece of public art is that it’s inspired spontaneous parody and occasional sarcasm. It’s a lightning rod for what’s happening in the world and a canvas for social comment.” Ullrich, who has an MBA and a bachelor’s degree in computer science from SDSU, is the sole employee of RapDevPro. He taps into the global workforce to operate his business, and has used contractors from China, India and Buenos Aires, in addition to the U.S. Ullrich said he is donating 5 percent of his proceeds to the San Diego County Public Library system.

With the plate their canvas, and produce their paint, A.R. Valentien chefs turn out culinary masterpieces BY WILL PARSON on’t let the Lodge at Torrey Pines’ kilt-wearing doormen fool you; there’s a distinctly Californian feel at A.R. Valentien. The Lodge itself pays homage to the California Craftsman Movement, and its signature restaurant takes its name and inspiration from Albert Robert Valentien, an early 20th century Impressionist and San Diegan. Valentien’s open-air landscapes adorn just about every wall. Complementing the California cuisine — steeped heavily in local ingredients — the artwork brings guests closer to the fertile soil of San Diego’s farms. The clientele consists of more locals than you’d expect for a hotel restaurant outside of downtown La Jolla, and the seafood on the dinner menu is particularly popular. It’s currently represented by White Bass, Maine Lobster, Wild King Salmon and Guerrero Negro Scallops. And the surest way to appreciate executive chef Jeff Jackson and chef de cuisine Tim Kolanko’s farm-totable approach is with the weekly outdoor Artisan Table dinners. The restaurant gets most of its produce deliveries on Thursdays,

Menu Recipe

Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net. Just click on ‘Food’ or ‘On The Menu.’

■ This week: Guerrero Negro Scallops with creamed corn, fried green tomatoes, padron peppers, espellete so every Thursday morning the chefs create a four-course menu based on the best ingredients of the day. Only when roughly a dozen guests are seated outdoors on the deck do they find out what they will be having for dinner. “It’s fun for me to … be able to go to the Artisan Table and say ‘Hey, I shook this farmer’s hand this morning an hour after he pulled this lettuce out of the ground, and that’s what you’re getting tonight,” said Kolanko. A bit of culinary adventure is a by-product of having an exceedingly fresh menu. The idea is to show off the best ingredients San Diego has to offer that day, and the intimate family-style

setting lets the chef talk with guests about every bit of their four-course meal. Every communal meal brings guests closer to their food, as well as to the former strangers seated in close proximity. The typical dining experience at A.R. Valentien is a more traditional affair than the Artisan Table, but still features the same ethos — even if the chef isn’t there to tell about special items, like the fennel pollen that Point Loma Farm harvested singularly at Kolanko’s request.

Local family performing in variety of theatrical productions BY KELLEY CARLSON Contributor This summer will be a dramatic one for four members of the Maretz family. Matt, 19; Tess, 8; and Sophie, 7; along with their mother, Heidi, will be performing in several plays throughout San Diego County. Heidi is making her first return to the stage in 30 years, with roles as a piano teacher and as a mother who beats her child in the Tony Award-winning “Spring Awakening.” The rock musical centers on teens who are on the road to self-discovery, experiencing an “awakening” in their bodies and souls. ACT San Diego’s production, directed by Leigh Scarritt, will run from Aug. 5 through 14. “I love ‘Spring Awakening,’ “ Heidi said. “It speaks to me and my teenage son; it’s very compelling.” A self-described “stage mom” for the last 10 years, Heidi said she has always enjoyed the theater. She acted in high school plays, but embarked on a career path that involved communications studies and law school. The Carmel Valley resident is currently corporate counsel for real estate company Oliver McMillan.

Heidi Maretz; Sophie Maretz, 7; Tess Maretz, 8; and Matt Maretz, 19 Heidi’s love for acting was rekindled when her husband, Peter, signed her up for an eight-week course at UCSD as a 25th wedding anniversary gift. The idea to audition for “Spring Awakening” occurred after Scarritt contacted Heidi’s son Matt about tryouts, but Matt had already landed a contract for San Diego Repertory Theatre’s “The Who’s Tommy,” and the dates conflicted. Heidi said that Scarritt knew of her passion and involvement with the theater and encouraged her to audition. “I’m excited — it’s a little scary, but it will be fun,” Heidi said.

Meanwhile, three of the four children in the Maretz family — with the exception of Danny, 17 — will also be on stage over the next month. Matt will play a Pinball Lad and several other ensemble parts in “The Who’s Tommy,” from July 16 through Aug. 14. The Tony Award-winning rock opera is about a traumatized boy who later falls in love with pinball and becomes a spiritual guru. Currently pursuing a bachelor of fine arts degree at Syracuse University and living in the San Diego area for the summer, Matt has been in the business since age 9.

“My interest in theater, believe it or not, came from a crush I had on a girl during a theater camp at San Diego Junior Theatre in Balboa Park, and in an attempt to get closer to her, I decided to audition for a show,” he said. “I have never been in any shows with her to this day, but that decision turned out to be a wise one.” Matt has won accolades for his performances, having recently been named an “Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Musical” by the National Youth Arts for his role as Conrad Birdie in “Bye Bye Birdie.” In 2008, he was chosen “Outstanding Lead Actor in a Musical” in Elton John’s “Aida.” “My ultimate goal is either New York or L.A., doing Broadway or film,” Matt said. “I haven’t decided which one suits me best yet, but I will make that decision as I continue through my college life into my life as a potential actor.” The youngest Maretz family members have also shown a flair for drama, as both have roles in ACT San

Diego’s production of “Les Misérables” — Tess as Young Cosette and Sophie as Young Eponine. The saga follows the lives and interactions of several French characters, including a fugitive who attempts to evade capture by an inspector. “Les Misérables” is slated to run July 22 through 31. The show will be Tess’ sixth; her first role was in “The Sound of Music” about one-and-a-half years ago. For Sophie, who only started acting in January, it will be her second play. Heidi said Tess would love to be a performer for the Disney Channel and aspires to be like Selena Gomez. Sophie may have bigger aspirations, according to Heidi, but “we will see.” Meanwhile, the family is attempting to juggle schedules, with rehearsals and performances often occurring around the same time. “Some weekends we will be seeing three shows in one day, as all three shows have both matinees and evening performances,” Heidi said. “Also, my hus-

If I survive this experience, I’m game for just about anything.”

If you are selling a home or estate in Del Mar, read this... Prime Real Estate in Del Mar is a “Bargain” for Foreign Investors. The question is, do you or your agent know how to reach them effectively?

Foreign investors have both the money and desire to purchase Del Mar real estate. And they do. The question is, how do you attract their interest? How do you showcase your home or estate? The simple answer is, you target them where they get their news or information. And since they don’t live in the local area or read local newspapers, investors look at hyper-local websites like www.delmartimes.net searching for available properties. For example, the site attracts people from 99 countries in March, 2011, and generated 18,519 visits from countries worldwide. It’s interesting to note that the sites largest number of daily foreign visitors come from the United Kingdom, Canada, India,

To reach foreign investors, be sure your agent has a well-developed marketing plan To sell your home or estate quickly and for the most money possible, a thorough marketing plan is a must. So make sure your agent’s plan includes: Q Proper “staging” of your homeand property. Q Showcasing your home or listing in the local paper—like The Times. Q Holding open houses, including

“broker previews”. Q Adding your home to the local multiple listing service so buyers and agents will see it. Q Preparing and sending brochures or well designed flyers to potential buyers. Q Using Internet advertising such as www.delmartimes.net, which attracts tens of thousands of readers monthly from 99 countries worldwide. With a fully developed marketing plan, your agent is prepared to sell your home quickly and for the highest possible price.

How to sell your home or estate to the foreign market

Australia, the Philippines, and China. Yes, the countries with the largest numbers of foreign investors, looking for Del Mar real estate. And those investors also work with local agents intimately familiar with the Del Mar market. And those agents are not only looking online, they’re reading the The Times because it has far more local Del Mar listings than any other paper in town. So to maximize your home or estate’s exposure, it’s important your agent is using a dual track: 1) showcasing your home or estate with ads on www.delmartimes.net and, 2) running ads and listings in the The Times.

What one person thinks “expensive”, isn’t so to another. Everything is relative. This is especially true for those purchasing local real estate with Euros, Loonies, Yen or Yuan. In fact, for many European, Canadian, or Mexican real estate investors, purchasing prime coastal real estate in Del Mar can now be done at an amazingly steep discount. All thanks to Mr. Bernanke, who as you know, has continued to cut points in the Fed rate, which has helped trigger further declines in the dollar versus other foreign currencies. And as of this writing, the US dollar against the Euro currently hovers around $1.39, which can be a dream or a nightmare; all depending upon the denomination of ones bank account. Del Mar real estate has long been the desired target of many wealthy foreign investors. But with the falling dollar, Del Mar real estate has now become a screaming bargain to foreign investors around the world.

RACING continued from page B1 will involve selecting winners of the first five races, with a minimum 50-cent wager. There will also be a head-to-head bet during the featured race each Saturday; Del Mar’s racing office will select the two horses from which bettors can choose. The track will also offer a guaranteed Pick Six carryover on Sundays with $50,000 in the pool at the start. Concerts have a new, larger home at the far western end of the facility, known as the Seaside Stage. The 120,000-square-foot area contains foliage purchased from the “Jurassic Park” movie sets, according to McBride, and will have a large LED screen and 45 betting windows. Ziggy Marley, Jimmy Eat World and Ben Harper are just a few of the acts slated during the season. “This is absolutely by far and away the best musical lineup we’ve ever had,”

July 14, 2011 McBride said. There is no additional charge for the concerts, which are held following the last race of the day. However, guests who arrive to the track after the final race will have to shell out $20 for admission. Other areas around the oval that have received makeovers include the Pacific Classic Pub, formerly known as the Best Pal Pub, which includes race memorabilia and photos of all 20 winners; and the Celebrity Grill, now a gastro restaurant featuring foods such as sliders, bar snacks and specialty salads on the third floor of the clubhouse. Traditional Del Mar events such as Donut Days (July 23 and Aug. 13), Family Weekends, “Daybreak at Del Mar” breakfasts (weekends), handicapping and newcomers seminars, Ladies Day (Aug. 7) and Party in the Paddock (Sept. 7) will once again be back. Seniors age 62 and older can enter the track for free on July 21 and Sept. 1, and can get in at no charge on all other Thursdays with

the Diamond Club card. (Patrons can apply for the free cards at the track throughout the season.) Free & Easy Wednesdays — consisting of free admission, program and a seat, along with discounted food and beverages — are offered to Diamond Club card holders of all ages. Once again, there will also be Pizza ‘N Ponies Thursdays, in which $11 will buy a Stretch Run admission and reserved seat in that area, a program, an Oggi’s personal cheese pizza and a soft drink, with upgrades available. New this year will be the Gourmet Food Truck Festival on Aug. 20, along with a Pink Day at the Races supporting breast cancer awareness on Sept. 3. A day at Del Mar can be fairly inexpensive and provide a good “stay-cation” option, McBride said. “You can soak up the atmosphere and spend a day in the sun,” he said. “We’re hopeful that this will be a good season. We see positive signs.”

La Jolla Playhouse launches new ‘Spotlight Dinner’ series La Jolla Playhouse recently announced its new Spotlight Dinners, a series of five intimate events at private homes of Playhouse supporters to take place throughout the year. Each event features a sumptuous dinner and a presentation by members of the creative team of an upcoming Playhouse production. Limited to 50 people, these exclusive evenings raise money to support the Playhouse’s mission of serving as a safe harbor for unsafe work. The first Spotlight Dinner will take place on Monday, July 18, at 6:30 p.m. at the stunning Rancho Santa Fe home of Playhouse board member Linda L. Chester and Dr. Kenneth Rind. In addition to an elegant poolside dinner with fine white wines and wild Atlantic salmon, guests will also be treated to specialty drinks by Tapanade Mixologist Tom Schlinski and entertainment by Sleeping Beauty Wakes creative team members Brendan Milburn (composer)

and Valerie Vigoda (lyricist). These two co-founders of the hip rock trio GrooveLily will offer an in-depth look at the creation of this exciting new musical, running July 19 – August 21 in the Mandell Weiss Theatre. The next Spotlight Dinner will take place on Thursday, Aug. 11, at 6:30 p.m. at the home of Playhouse board member Lucille and Ron Neeley. Participants can tour the Neeley’s one-of-a-kind concrete, wood and glass home, designed by Mexico City urban planner and architect Alberto Kalach, perched above Del Mar’s spectacular coastline. Guests will also enjoy dinner and a sneak peek into the creation of the Playhouse-commissioned work Milk Like Sugar, which will have its world premiere in the Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre from Aug. 30 – Sept. 25.

QUESTIONS continued from page B1 2. What makes your work special to you? Every moment of my work contains the opportunity to make an impact. Sometimes, the students of the program get caught up in what “might have happened” if Reality Changers didn’t exist — gangs, drugs, long jail sentences, or worse. “I know, I know...” I tell them quietly, trying to change the subject as quickly as possible. We’ve made better results happen and it’s better for them to stay focused on how they can change the future in special ways for the younger students in the program. 3. What would you still like to achieve professionally? I would like the books that I am writing to have as big an impact nationally as the Reality Changers program has had locally. 4. Who or what inspires you?

A parade of hats follows at 3 p.m., and track announcer Trevor Denman will announce the finalists between 4:15 and 4:30 p.m. The awards presentation will be made in the winner’s circle between 5 and 5:30 p.m. Adding to the festive atmosphere will be the Coors Light VIP Opening Day Party. For $30, guests receive Clubhouse Admission and access to the tented “Coors Light Trackside Pavilion” on the west end of the track. Popular local reggae band Common Sense will provide entertainment. Tickets are on sale at (858) 792-4242 or www.dmtc.com. Singing the national an-

them, at 1:05 p.m., is 17-year-old Andrea Rosario, who performed the piece at last year’s Pacific Classic Day. Other activities planned include the Hippity-Hop Derby for children, after the sixth race, which features Camp Del Mar participants bouncing down the stretch on large balls; and Sing with Bing (Crosby), when special guests belt out “Where the Turf Meets the Surf” in the winner’s circle after the seventh race. And, of course, there are the horses. The feature will be the Oceanside Stakes, a one-mile turf event for 3-year-olds, to be run as the eighth race on the card.

Honestly, it’s the students who have not made it into Reality Changers who inspire me to work harder. For example, one of the subjects of my books is a young man named Gabino, who was sentenced to life in prison when he was just 16 years old. What if Reality Changers had been stronger and had more resources to pull him up and out of the lifestyle he led? That’s what keeps me up at night.

through all of the books written by local best-selling author Victor Villasenor.

5. If you hosted a dinner party for 8, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? Considering that I still have to raise just about all of the money for Reality Changers, I’d invite seven donors seeking to make a transformative, tangible change in San Diego. And as I would want my guests to truly enjoy their meal, for my eighth person I’d invite a chef. 6. Tell us about what you are currently reading. I have been reading

7. What are your favorite films? The best movie about why kids get wrapped up in gangs is a little-known movie called Squeeze. My personal faves are Back to the Future and LA Confidential. And everyone is always telling me that there should be a movie made about Reality Changers, but it was only recently that I developed a Hollywood-level story line: think Dead Poets Society, but grittier. 8. What is your favorite vacation destination? The best feeling in the world is driving down to Ensenada, Mexico, for a weekend or longer. And don’t worry... the only risk about going down there is the risk of not wanting to come back! 9. Please describe your greatest accomplishment. My hope is that it hasn’t happened yet!

Botanic Garden offers kids a mix of nature, art, summer fun BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Contributor Quail Gardens’ new name, San Diego Botanic Garden, may not be as appealing, but under its more official-sounding title, the 40-year-old destination for nature-lovers is looking better than ever. Its mission is to connect plants and people, and for families on the lookout for summer activities, this 37-acre oasis is the place to go. It’s a sure cure for Nature Deficit Disorder, which according to local author Richard Louv, affects many of our children, not to mention ourselves. Besides the pleasant walking trails that meander through bamboo groves, desert gardens, a tropical rainforest (complete with waterfall), native coastal sage, and attractively laidout plantings of herbs, succulents, and fruits from all over the world, there are two areas especially designed for kids: Seeds of Wonder, and the Hamilton Children’s Garden. Seeds of Wonder is meant primarily for toddlers, but has attractions for older kids, too, including animal topiary, a miniature train, and places to just plain play in the dirt. The Hamilton Garden, opened two years ago, was mostly funded by longtime board member Frances Hamilton White, and designed by Deneen Powell Atelier, who also helped design the San Diego Zoo’s award-winning Elephant Odyssey. It’s a great spot for kids of all ages, whose many delights include a climbable

(Ask for a sculpture map at the entrance.)

Bring a blanket and a picnic supper, and don’t miss the popular “kid-folk” duo, Hullabaloo (July 14 and Aug. 25); Dance Around the World, with Nikola Clay (July 28); and Fabulous Funny Fairy Tales (Aug. 4).

Del Mar Racing Feature Rare Paraiba Tourmaline ring can be found at Martin Katz in Rancho Santa Fe

This exceptionally rare, one-of-a-kind Paraiba Tourmaline ring featured in the photo at left, is available at Martin Katz in Rancho Santa Fe. Paraiba tourmalines were discovered in 1989 outside of Paraiba, Brazil. This stunner is prized for its Mediterranean-blue shades created by copper oxide. Extremely rare, its price per carat can be higher than some diamonds. Because Paraiba tourmalines have such exceptional brilliance, they will actually sparkle even in dim light.

BY CATHARINE L. KAUFMAN Contributor Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a primer on racetrack eats to give you an edge as you approach the betting window â&#x20AC;&#x201D; especially on opening day, July 20. Foods for Focus You need to filter out distractions, like thoroughbreds with their blinders. Be alert and stay focused, keeping brain cells on their toes. Eating whole grains and fruits like avocados can amp up blood flow, offering an easy, breezy way to fire-up gray matter. At the starting gate, try an appetizer of guacamole and housemade salsa roja with tri-color tortilla chips. For a classic dose of brain food, beef up on omega-3s best in wildcaught, deep-sea fish and seafood like salmon, whitefish, scallops, crab and spiny lobster. Chef Barry Schneider of the Del Mar Fairgrounds and Race Track has plenty of foods for focus on the opening day menu, with a motherload of locally grown and seasonal fare. Do Del Marâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s classic jumbo shrimp cocktail or grilled wild king salmon with pineapple jasmine rice, baby bok choy, mango salsa, and Thai green curry sauce. While caffeine will give you a buzz and help you concentrate on your picks, too much of a good thing might give you the jitters. Instead of guzzling coffee, need I twist your arm with divine bittersweet chocolate? This palatal bliss has powerful antioxidants, and contains natural

Southwest Seafood Cocktail One of Bingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s faves was a killer seafood cocktail thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll surely put you in the Winnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Circle. Ingredients: 1-pound large shrimp, peeled, cooked 1/2-pound jumbo scallops, cooked, halved 1/2-cup white wine 1/4-cup fresh limejuice 1 garlic clove, minced 1 teaspoon crushed arbol chiles 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped 1 small red onion, diced 2-cups ripe tomatoes, diced 1-cup avocado, diced 2 Persian cucumbers, diced Method: In a large bowl, marinate the seafood in juice, wine, garlic, chiles, cilantro and onion for one hour. Blend in tomatoes, avocado, cucumber, and chill for another hour. Serve in martini glasses with corn chips and plenty of ice water. caffeine stimulants to enhance concentration. The menu offers a â&#x20AC;&#x153;chocolate barâ&#x20AC;? for your just desserts â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a mousse â&#x20AC;&#x153;candy barâ&#x20AC;? on a chocolate cookie crust with a raspberry coulis, and seasonal berries, a dose of fructose, which will also sharpen your faculties. No Horsing Around Like the nags, you want to eat foods thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll make you eager and energetic, not logy or lethargic. Start opening day with a

power breakfast of an ironpacked spinach omelet (egg whites for cholesterol-conscious), a slice of wholewheat toast, and honeydew melon for energy-boosting complex carbs, fiber and minerals. For sustained energy throughout the day, the Mayo Clinic recommends snacks including bananas, apples, figs, papayas, almonds, dried apricots, sunflower seeds and whole-grain crackers. Grilled fatty fishes, kidney beans, lentils, edamane, and high-powered grains

A Trojan Horse Foods that zap you of energy or are soporific and make you want to take a catnap, should be avoided. Above all, donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat like a horse â&#x20AC;&#x201D; big meals tend to make you drowsy. Grazing throughout the day helps maintain steady energy levels. Other no-nos include the evil twin Sisters: White Sugar and White Flour. Eating quantities of refined sugar and simple carbs will boost you up, then make you crash. So do brown instead of white rice, whole-wheat instead of white bread, and hearty grains like quinoa and buckwheat. High fatty foods make your blood do a beeline to your gut to help digestion, so choose lean protein like chicken or fish, instead of fried and processed foods. A perfect choice is the grilled bistro chicken breast with cranberry quinoa pilaf. You Can Lead a Horse to Water Keep well-hydrated to ward off headaches and dizziness. Drink alcohol in moderation as too much will impair your judgment. Survey the line-up of delicious drinks, and select your favorite, remembering mixed drinks tend to spike blood-alcohol levels higher than other libations. On the bar menu are assorted cocktails, like the low-cal SkinnyRita, the classic Del Margarita, the Red Bull-Fecta, the Bloody Del Mar and the Del Martini.

Local business hosts launch party for Wish Upon A Wedding BY LIZ SCHNEIDER Contributor From the elaborate decorations to the acoustic guitar music in the air, the June 28 launch party for the San Diego chapter of Wish Upon A Wedding at the Ocean Travel and Business Center in La Jolla, had all the makings of a fairy-tale event. For those in attendance, however, the evening was all business. The organization, which grants weddings to people who are terminally ill or have other life-altering circumstances, was both celebrating the start of its San Diego chapter as well as recruiting “wish granters,” the wedding-industry professionals whose

“This is a wonderful foundation, and it’s representative of what all of us San Diego vendors want to do, which is give back to people who can’t afford the wedding of their dreams,” said Jesika Leszewski, of Indulge catering. “It’s just awesome that all these vendors are able to give back to people who are less fortunate.” Indulge was one of many companies that donated their services to the party, which ended up being the biggest launch gala in the organization’s history, with more than 300 people attending. “It’s really grown like wildfire,” said Liz Guthrie, founder of Wish Upon A

WEDDING continued from page B15 â&#x20AC;&#x153;We were looking for somebody who had faced challenges: illness, loss, or hardship,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But when the entries started coming in, I was bummed out that we could only give it to one couple. There were just all these people who I wanted to help.â&#x20AC;? The generosity Guthrie experienced from the wedding industry â&#x20AC;&#x201C; she gathered more than 40 vendors who were willing to contribute to the contest â&#x20AC;&#x201C; inspired her, and Wish Upon A Wedding began to come together. As word spread about the unique organization, wedding professionals from across the country and

around the world expressed interest in starting chapters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have inquiries coming in from Malaysia to the UK,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re expanding into Canada next year, and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re trying to go international in the next five years.â&#x20AC;? But while the organization has plans to spread across the globe, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also excited about the future of the 21 chapters already in existence. Amy Harrick, president of the San Diego chapter and the publisher/editor-in-chief of Ceremony magazine, says she is eager to bring this one-of-a-kind organization to San Diego. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went to the Orange County/Los Angeles Wish Upon A Wedding gala, and I decided this was the charity that I wanted to help out,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Through knowing a lot of the wedding vendors in San Diego, I thought I would be able to get a lot of people to donate.â&#x20AC;? And with scores of vendors already committed to participating, it looks like San Diegansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; wishes will be coming true in no time. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re industry people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; we can whip up a wedding next week,â&#x20AC;? Leszewski said with a laugh. â&#x20AC;&#x153;So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d say things will probably start happening quite quickly.â&#x20AC;?

To Your Health: Heart care goes high tech BY JAMES HEMP, MD, SCRIPPS HEALTH Just a few years ago, heart surgery often meant a large incision from chest to abdomen, hours of surgery, considerable risks and a week or two in the hospital followed by a long, difficult recovery. In recent years, however, technological advancements have come into the mainstream, offering many patients lessinvasive, more successful treatments for heart problems. One such advancement is the use of minimally invasive robotic surgery to perform coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Coronary arteries are the blood vessels that stem from the base of the aorta, the largest artery in the body; they supply the heart with oxygen and nutrients from the blood. Any disease that blocks the coronary arteries can cause serious and often fatal complications. If blockages in the coronary arteries prevent the heart from getting enough oxygen. When the shortage of oxygen becomes critical, the heart muscle begins to die, leading to a heart attack. CABG, also known as coronary revascularization, is a surgical procedure that reroutes blood flow around the blockages in the coronary arteries so that blood can continue to deliver oxygen to the heart. Traditional coronary revascularization requires a six to eight-inch incision down the front of the chest through the breastbone. The ribcage is then cracked and spread to provide the surgeon with access to the heart. The heart is stopped and the patient is kept alive on a heart-lung machine while the surgeon takes arteries from the arm or leg, as well as leg veins, to create an alternate path around the coronary artery obstruction. When the

new path is in place, the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart is started up again. Far less invasive than traditional CABG yet equally successful, robot-assisted CABG uses a robotic surgical system which enables the procedure to be performed through only a few small incisions between the ribs. There is no need to break the ribcage or stop the patientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heart. Instead, the surgeon inserts a high-definition camera, tiny surgical instruments and ultra-thin robotic arms, also inserted through the incision, to construct the detour around the blockage. The camera transmits greatly magnified, threedimensional images to the surgeon, who controls the movements of the robotic arms while seated at a console. Because the robotic surgical system provides enhanced dexterity, precision and control, it allows a much greater range of motion and more precise movements than the human hand and wrist. Minimally invasive robotic surgery is also being used to repair damaged mitral valves. One of the four valves within the heart, the mitral valve the mitral valve allows blood to flow through the main pumping chamber in the lower left ventricle. If the valve becomes diseased or damaged, it may not be able to do its job correctly, which can lead to heart failure. In such cases, the mitral valve may need to be repaired. [In some cases, it may need to be replaced.] As with CABG, traditional mitral valve repair involves a large incision, spreading the ribs, and stopping the heart, while robotic mitral valve repair generally enables the surgeon to perform the procedure through a few small incisions. See HEART, page B23

La Rosaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Garden Flamboyant Bougainvilleas BY FRANK LA ROSA No plant signifies the tropics of South America more than the Bougainvillea. It was first classified by Philibert Commercon, a botanist who accompanied the French explorer and admiral Antoine de Bougainvillea (17291811). The plant was Frank La Rosa discovered in Brazil, and from there it was sent from Rio de Janeiro to Europe from where it spread throughout the garden world. Bougainvilleas belong to the Nyctaginaceae family, that of the Four-OClocks. There are fourteen species, of which B. glabra (more hardy) and B. spectablis (delicate) are the two species plants from which most hybrids derive. Now there are many, many varieties. What we call the flowers of Bougainvilleas are not the true flowers at all. The real flowers are actually the tiny white, tubular flowers at the center of the colorful bracts. A bract is a modified leaf associated with a flower (in close proximity), not to be confused with a sepal, those greenish petal-like appendages at the bases of most flowers. These flamboyant bracts are what give Bougainvilleas their bright colors, grace, and charm. Bougainvilleas grow well in almost any

venue just as long as there is little frost. They are grown mostly in South Florida and California, but they grow well indoors as houseplants anywhere. What a refreshing ambiance they bring to garden rooms and conservatories! These beautiful plants grow well against a wall, scrambling around columns, and from hanging baskets. The key to keeping them beautiful is in the pruning. They canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be neglected or they will become massive hulks with too much green. If kept trimmed properly, the bracts keep coming on. As always, keep them well watered and fertilized as they are getting started. However, once established and growing, they need little care except for intelligent pruning. I have one forty year old Bougainvillea that scrambles over my green house, and I keep it under control as a large bonsai. It provides a small amount of shading, has a thick trunk, and has lovely redpurple â&#x20AC;&#x153;flowers.â&#x20AC;? Bougainvilleas have weak fibrous roots when young so they must be staked and tied until their branches are thick enough to withstand the wind. The stems are very brittle and have strong thorns that can hurt, so these plants are often useful as barriers. They can grow larger than forty feet tall. I adore Bougainvilleas when they are planted side by side, intertwining with various colors that resonate or contrast. They together give a varied texture of color swirls.

OPEN HOUSES CARMEL VALLEY

Several agents from the Coldwell Banker Carmel Valley office volunteered at the TPHS Rummage Sale.

Coldwell Banker Carmel Valley supports the Torrey Pines High School Rummage Sale The Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage’s Carmel Valley office was the official sponsor of the 16th Annual Torrey Pines High School Foundation Rummage Sale. “The event was a tremendous success and raised over $35,000 with all proceeds going to benefit the students of TPHS,” stated Christina Dworsky, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Carmel Valley. Several agents from the Carmel Valley office volunteered the day of the event, including Bette-Anne Wilson, Joseph Hathaway, John Schindel, Janet Rosen, Arlene Dutchik, and Wesley Royal. Coldwell Banker also provided paper shredding at the event for residents hoping to rid their homes and offices of sensitive or unnecessary documents. Tasha Manzano, branch manager of the Carmel Valley office, added, “It was a great event and we really commend the school, students and parents for its success. Many of us live here and take pride in the community’s stellar educational programs, so it is fitting for us to do what we can to make them even better.”

A graduate of Torrey Pines High School, Hayes relocated to the Rancho Santa Fe area with his family in 1991. He entered the real estate business to combine his love for work-

As with any surgery, robotic-assisted heart surgery has some risks; however, because robotic surgery is much less invasive than traditional open-heart procedures, there are fewer complications such as infection or blood loss. In addition, robotic surgery offers a number of significant benefits, including less trauma and pain to the patient, fewer days spent in the hospital, decreased need for pain medications and a faster recovery time and return to

“San Diego Red” is rich red-orange, “Barbara Karst,” magenta-red, “Cali-

fornia Gold” an orange-yellow, “Sundance” red- orange, “Raspberry Ice” has variegated leaves, and there are tinted whites. How can a Bougainvillea not succeed with the name of “Scarlet O’Hara”? It is the most mentioned Bougainvillea of all time, just like the popularity of the novel and movie. From its ubiquitous citations in plant catalogs, it seems that nursery people have read only one novel and seen just one movie, Margaret Mitchell’s famous and memorable “Gone With the Wind.”
