DM Council says fairgrounds deal not dead BY JOE TASH CONTRIBUTOR Rumors of the death of the city of Del Mar’s bid to buy the stateowned Del Mar fairgrounds are greatly exaggerated, City Council members said Monday. In comments at a July 25 City Council meeting, council members downplayed the significance of published reports that a group of horse owners led by businessman Mike Pegram — which had verbally agreed to put up $30 million toward the

purchase — has dropped out of the deal. “The conclusion that the purchase of the fairgrounds is dead because that horseman’s group has pulled out seems to me premature,” said Mayor Don Mosier, in providing an update to the full council on the status of the purchase effort. “There’s a lot happening, it’s not dead,” said Councilman Mark Filanc, who, along with Mosier, heads up the city’s efforts to buy the fairgrounds. “It’s working. It’s a gla-

cial process.” Last year, before former Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger left office, Del Mar reached an agreement with the state to buy the 400-plus-acre fairgrounds — which includes a horseracing track and grandstands — for $120 million. The property comprises 20 percent of Del Mar’s 1.8-square-mile footprint. Of that amount, the city planned to borrow $45 million by selling bonds, raise another $45 million through a loan from the state,

The California Fish and Game Commission adopted the South Coast MPAs in December of 2010, as a step toward establishing a statewide network of MPAs, as required

and the final $30 million was to have come from the group of horsemen. In an interview published July 9 in the Thoroughbred Times, Pegram reportedly said he has given up on the deal. “Like a lot of things in horse racing, it just didn’t work out,” Pegram is quoted as saying. Pegram did not return messages for comment left by this newspaper by presstime.
BY JOE TASH Contributor Construction on a controversial expansion and renovation project at the Flower Hill Promenade mall will continue for now, despite a stop-work order issued by the California Coastal Commission which carries potential fines of $15,000 per day. At issue is a territorial dispute between the commission, which regulates development up and
down the California coast, and the city of San Diego. Each entity contends it has the authority to approve the $25 million project at the popular shopping center on Via De La Valle east of Interstate 5. In April, the San Diego City Council unanimously approved the project, and construction began in July. However, the Coastal Commission contends that it has jurisdiction over the land where the mall sits, and must be the agency to issue a coastal development permit. On Friday, the commission posted a stop-work order

Retirement benefit costs a big issue for water district BY JOE TASH Contributor Compensation and expense reimbursements for elected directors of the Santa Fe Irrigation District totaled $40,902 for the fiscal year that ended June 30, according to a report issued by the district. The report — which is required under state law to be compiled annually — was included on the board’s agenda for its meeting on Thursday, July 21.
The total includes per diem payments for attending meetings, along with reimbursement for mileage and parking, travel, office supplies and telephone charges incurred for district business, according to the report. Director Augie Daddi, who lost his bid for re-election last year, received $2,000 in per diem payments before leaving office. The

Luxury theater opens locally BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Imagine a movie theater where, as you’re reclining in a leather chair to catch the last “Harry Potter” movie, you can order up sushi or chocolatecovered popcorn at the press of button. That unique, elevated movie-going experience is here now in Carmel Valley with Del Mar Highlands’ new Cinepolis Luxury Cinemas. Close to $7 million was plugged into the former UltraStar Cinema to bring it up to the luxury level, a new concept for the United States from Cinepolis, a Mexican theater chain. “We’re here to become part of the community,” said Carlos Wellman, Cinepolis managing director. “We’re very happy to start a new team and adventure out here.” “We hope the community really embraces it,” echoed Cinepolis partner Adolfo Fastlicht, who noted that the new theater created more than 70 jobs. Cinepolis opened its first theater in Mexico in 1947 and has since become the largest movie chain in Latin America and fourth largest in the world. Cinepolis developed its“VIP” luxury experience in 1999 and has ventured into several South American countries and India, but San Diego is its first American presence. They have plans to open seven more theaters in the Southern California region, including the former Ultra-
Star La Costa in Carlsbad, Laguna Niguel and Irvine. Fastlicht said they aim to grow into Northern California and then become a nationwide chain. Cinepolis’ difference is noticed right away in the theater lobby, which features floor to ceiling windows, glossy wood floors, and a cluster of cozy, stylish couches and tables to grab a bite from the gourmet concession stand where champagne is chilling and decadent desserts are on display. Cinepolis is the only movie theater in San Diego to have a full bar, which serves wine, beer, champagne and signature cocktails such as a Skinny Margarita or Cool as A Cucumber, with vodka, fresh cucumber and a splash of agave nectar. Alcohol is only allowed in theaters one and two and Cinepolis will be very strict about those two theaters, general manager Antonio Garcia said.

‘Del Mar’ vanity license plate for sale BY JONATHAN HELLER Contributor For the past 22 years, the one-and-only vanity license plate that reads “Del Mar” has been affixed to John Chambers’ 1988 Range Rover. Chambers, 54, who grew up in Del Mar now lives in Leucadia. Of course, owners of vanity license plates can’t actually sell them. The way it works, according to the state Department of Motor Vehicles, is that the plate must be surrendered at a local office. The plate is then technically up for grabs. The “buyer” of the plate should be prepared to go to the DMV at the same time Chambers surrenders it to increase his chances of receiving it, said Jan Mendoza, a DMV spokeswoman. “There is no absolute guarantee that the second person would get that configuration, however, chances are better if the surrender and reservation
John Chambers with his ‘Del Mar’ vanity license plate. Photo/Jon Clark paperwork were submitted to the DMV at the exact same time,” Mendoza said. Chambers said he would make the deal contingent on the buyer actually receiving the requested lettering on the plate from the DMV, alleviating any risk. The buyer would receive two brand new plates with the current state design — not the same exact plate Chambers is surrendering. Chambers said he plans to use word of
mouth, Craigslist and eBay to advertise the plate, which he believes is worth at least $20,000. Chambers, who owns a shop that repairs and restores vintage sports cars, thinks that the plate would likely appeal to a wide range of potential buyers, especially real estate agents. “If you show up in a car with ‘Del Mar’ on the license plates, it’s like you own the town,” he said. Chambers can be reached at john.chambers@att.net.
Conrad Prebys gives $45 million to Scripps Health for new Cardiovascular Institute, to be named in his honor When Conrad Prebys was a young boy growing up in Indiana he stepped on a rusty belt buckle, which resulted in a life-threatening cardiac infection that forced him to remain bedridden for a year. Now, years later and having accrued a significant personal fortune, the noted San Diego developer and philanthropist is fighting back against the disease that almost ended his life by donating $45 million to help create the most advanced cardiac center on the West Coast. Prebys’ donation – the largest in the history of Scripps Health and the largest he has ever made – is dedicated for Scripps Cardiovascular Institute. The Institute is the cornerstone of a 25-year master plan that will transform the Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla campus and redefine health care in San Diego for the 21st century. In recognition of Prebys’ $45 million gift, the new acute care hospital tower will be named the Prebys Cardiovascular Institute. “That experience from my childhood never left me,” Prebys said. “Now here I am, part of what will be the best heart care center there is, with the greats of the medical world, research and innovation that will help mankind. There’s nothing like being part of the best. That’s how I feel about this institute.” The Prebys Cardiovascular Institute will integrate the highly respected cardiovascular programs throughout the Scripps Health system and Kaiser Permanente. The Institute will build on a legacy of Scripps breakthroughs in pioneering surgical procedures, landmark studies, genomic medicine and wireless technology to provide the most advanced treatment options available to pa-
tients with cardiovascular diseases. Every year, more than 55,000 patients receive their cardiovascular care from Scripps, making it the largest heart care provider in the region. And Scripps is the only cardiovascular program in the region consistently recognized by U.S. News & World Report as one of the best in the country. “Conrad Prebys’ ongoing generosity to Scripps Health and the entire San Diego community is reminiscent of the same spirit of philanthropy established by Ellen Browning Scripps when she founded Scripps Memorial Hospital and Scripps Metabolic Clinic 87 years ago,” said Scripps President and CEO Chris Van Gorder. “This donation will further Miss Ellen’s legacy by helping build a center for innovation that will bring together leading physicians and premier cardiovascular services to provide the best in heart care for all of San Diego and beyond well into the future.” The $456 million Prebys Cardiovascular Institute is scheduled to open for patient care in 2015. The seven-story, 383,000-square-foot building will feature108 inpatient beds in private rooms, 60 intensive care beds, six state-of-the-art operating rooms, and as many as six cardiac catheterization labs with the most advanced medical technology. Prebys is president of Progress Construction and Management Company, a real estate and development company that he founded in 1966. More information can be found at www.scripps.org.

Researcher’s book offers prescription for better leadership BY KIRBY BROOKS Contributor Nina Rosoff — a social and behavioral scientist, academician and organization/leadership specialist — just penned her first book, “The Power of Paradox: The Protean Leader and Leading in Uncertain Times.” “The seed of wanting to write a book was planted when I was a child. Even though those were just words to me then, once I began writing my doctoral dissertation in 1970, I promised myself I would write a book that would contribute to leaders and to their organizations’ success.” Rosoff rejected the idea to author such a book back then, and instead contributed to scholarly journals and publications throughout her career, during which, she found herself on the faculty of MIT Sloan School twice and with other major business schools. She began working on “The Power of Paradox,” in January 2005 and finally published it on June, 21 2011.
Protean 1. Tending or able to change frequently or easily. 2. Able to do many different things; versatile. Source: MerriamWebster The book sees Rosoff tackling the unsolved dilemma of standard economics: How to lead in uncertainty. To find the answer, she said she combed through decades of research, did an in-depth literature review, and interviewed hundreds of leaders of all types — from successful CEOs to HR managers, to academicians and presidents, an owner of an NFL team, and the predecessor of the No. 1 hotelier in the world. Despite its title, the business text is unpretentious and easy to read. Through her conversational narrative, Rosoff shows leaders a path through sev-
en paradoxes, combining anecdotes, stories, and ideas about what did and didn’t work for leaders, with their own inspired “ah-ha” moments about the interworking of paradox. She shows why being “protean,” works to help leaders and organizations face the challenges of uncertain times by managing complexity better. Since earning her BA from Scripps College, master of social work from the University of Michigan, and Ph.D. from Case Western Reserve University, Rosoff founded the firm, Leadership and Organization Consultants. She consults globally to start-ups, Fortune 500 profit-sector clients like P & G, American Express, Chase, BP, Xerox Corporation, Exxon, Time Inc. and non-profit clients like the United Hospital Fund, the Child Welfare League of America, and others. At the core of “The Power of Paradox” is the reality that leaders’ actions often have opposite conse-

In the book, Rosoff provides a “take away” for readers, titled, “The Protean
Leadership Model.” It describes capabilities and actions, that when executed using what she calls “dynamic thinking,” can empower anyone to lead better — whether as a parent or a CEO. “I would love for it to make a difference, especial-
ly for leaders who are struggling today, and for everyday people who want to live more fulfilled, happier and healthier lives, in synch with their aspirations and potential. If it happens to hit a chord with the reader, then that’s great,” she said.

UPGRADE continued from page 1 at the construction site. Attorney Robin Madaffer, who represents the mall’s owner, Protea Properties, said the company believes the city has the legal authority to issue the permit, which it has done. “The work is going on. We’re not going to stop doing what we’re doing in reliance on the coastal permit unless and until we’re told to by a judge,” Madaffer said Monday. “We’re kind of stuck in the middle between two public agencies claiming jurisdiction,” Madaffer said. Under state law, the Coastal Commission is charged with planning and regulating development in the state’s coastal zone, in partnership with coastal cities and counties. The Flower Hill Promenade is included in the coastal zone because it is located within the watershed of the San Dieguito River

Valley, said Deborah Lee, manager of the Coastal Commission’s San Diego district. The Coastal Commission retains the authority to issue coastal development permits within the coastal zone until it certifies a local coastal program for a specific area. At that point, the commission delegates permit authority to the city or county where the local coastal program has been certified. The commission believes the property where Flower Hill Promenade sits is not part of the city’s certified local coastal program, said Lee. Therefore, “we never delegated coastal development permit authority to the city” for the parcel, she said. Both the mall’s owner and the city disagree. “The coastal commission does not have direct permit jurisdiction over the project,” the city wrote to the commission last year. “Our position has not changed,” on the jurisdicState University; Ed Parnell, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego; Doug Neilson, California Department of Fish and Game, will make baseline assessments of California spiny lobster popula-

tion issue, said Kelly Broughton, the city’s development services director, on Tuesday. And a spokeswoman for Councilwoman Sherri Lightner, whose council District 1 includes the mall, said her boss specifically asked city officials about the jurisdictional issue during the council hearing in April. “Sherri asked during the hearing if it was in our jurisdiction and was told by the city attorney and mayor’s office in no uncertain terms that it was in our jurisdiction and our purview,” said Lightner spokeswoman Jennifer Davies. “Under the law, the boundaries of the City and Coastal Commission jurisdictions are shown on Map No. C-730-1. This Map has been relied upon for over 20 years to determine the locations of the City and Coastal Commission jurisdictions. According to the City’s Development Services Department, the Map shows the Flower Hill property within the City’s jurisdictional area,” wrote a spokeswoman
for City Attorney Jan Goldsmith in an email. Madaffer, attorney for the mall’s owner, said she and her colleagues have seen the maps and the certified local coastal program, and are convinced the city has authority to issue the permit. Lee said the stop-work order was necessary because her agency has advised both the city and the property owner that it contends the mall falls within the Coastal Commission’s jurisdiction. “We advised them we do not believe they have a valid coastal development permit and they should stop work,” said Lee. “We think we’ve given them due notice of our concerns.” The commission is “pursuing legal options” and talking to city officials in an effort to resolve the issue, Lee said. Civil penalties could include fines of $15,000 per day from the date the stopwork order was issued, and additional fines for starting work without the required
tions, incorporating a collaborative fisheries approach. Another local person involved is Jan Svejkovsky of Solana Beach-based Ocean Imaging Corp., who will do high-resolution aerial imaging and habitat mapping of nearshore substrate. They are among the teams of researchers, citizen-scientists and fishermen, will survey the region’s sandy beaches, rocky shores, kelp beds and deep-water ecosystems inside and outside the network of new MPAs. The surveys will include ecologically and economically important species of fishes and invertebrates, as well as a range of human activities, such as commercial and recreational fishing, and “non-consumptive” recreation such as tide-pooling, bird watching and scuba diving. The data will be used to document changes that may result from the new MPAs, the press release noted. The South Coast MPA Baseline Program is a collaboration of the Ocean Protection Council, MPA Monitoring Enterprise, Department of Fish and Game, Ocean Science Trust and UCSD-based California Sea Grant. The projects funded through this program were solicited through a public call for proposals and were selected through a competitive peer-review process

permit, Lee said. The Coastal Commission’s action is not the only legal hurdle faced by the mall’s owner. In May, a group called Citizens Against Flower Hill’s Excessive Expansion filed a lawsuit seeking to stop the project. According to Madaffer, a judge declined to issue a temporary restraining order to halt construction, and a request for a permanent injunction will be heard in San Diego Superior Court on Friday. Among the issues raised in the lawsuit is the question of jurisdiction, said Madaffer. Rather than taking its own action, she said, the Coastal Commission should instead have joined the lawsuit to settle the question of which agency has the right to issue the development permit. The project includes demolition of the UltraStar Cinema, which has already closed, and construction of a new building to house a Whole Foods Market, new
retail and office space and a four-story parking garage. The center would expand from its current 112,000 square feet to 173,000 square feet. The project also would include a facelift for the center’s existing buildings. The owner-developer faces a tight deadline, because under its agreement with Whole Foods, the new building must be completed by June of 2012, Madaffer said. After an approval process that took seven years, said Madaffer, her client wants to move forward with the project. “We were issued a coastal permit that was approved unanimously by the city council of San Diego,” she said. “We are relying on that permit. Until we’re told by a judge that’s invalid, there’s no reason for us to stop.”

Unlike most movie theaters, there are no ticket windows. Instead, there is a concierge desk where moviegoers can select their own reserved seat when they buy the ticket. “I honestly believe there is no bad seat in the house,” Garcia said. For people who purchased tickets online or if there is a line, they can use an adjacent ticket station to pick up tickets, as well.

Cinepolis’ eight auditoriums feature 65 seats each, “The most state-ofthe-art, beautiful cinemas in the U.S.,” Garcia said proudly.

Garcia said people have expressed concerns that the service will be interruptive to watching the movie, but he said most people order during the first 15 minutes of previews. After that, service is sporadic and servers are dressed in black and slip quickly in and out, kneeling to take orders and deliver food. Ticket prices are slightly more expensive than standard theaters at $14-18. To learn more, visit cinepolisusa.com.

throughout the United States. Healey and his colleagues represented a class of approximately 32,000 current and former nursing home residents and their families in Lavender v. Skilled Healthcare Group, Inc. It was the first class-wide understaffing case to be tried to verdict and the largest ever verdict against a nursing home chain. The case also filled an important void by getting justice for thousands of citizens that the state could not protect: The Department of Public Health, suffering from the state’s significant budget deficit, simply lacked the resources to enforce its policy of protecting elders in residential care facilities. Other plaintiffs’ attorneys are now helping to fill this void, thanks to the victory that Healey and his colleagues achieved in the Lavender case. For more information, visit www.luce.com.

Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary Club assists homeless vets at Stand Down San Diego Members of the Del Mar–Solana Beach Rotary Club handed out over 6,000 bottles of cool water to hot and thirsty veterans (and volunteers) at Stand Down San Diego 2011 on July 15 - 17. Thirty-five Rotarians, spouses, and friends stood three-hour shifts to man the “Rotary Water Tent” during the three-day event. Many vets and volunteers who frequented the Water Tent said that the chilled bottles of water were what kept them going throughout the long, hot days. The water was donated by NIKA Water and Harrah’s Rincon Casino with delivery assistance from Eckert’s Moving & Storage. Stand Down is an annual intervention and support event specifically for homeless veterans. It is held in a temporary tent city set up on the athletic fields of San Diego High School. It was started in San Diego in 1988 by the Veterans Village of San Diego (VVSD) and continues through VVSD’s efforts and assistance from the Veterans Administration and many other organizations. Following the VVSD’s model, over 200 cities around the U.S. hold annual Stand Downs for their homeless and needy vets. This year’s turnout showed 1,003 homeless veterans attended the event – a new record and 3,600 volunteers helped — also a record. 13,500 meals were served from Friday morning through Sunday evening and Stand Down 2011 cost $1 million to put on, of which $200,000 was in cash and the rest was donations of time and supplies by San
Diego Military commands. While the veterans and their dependents generally stayed at Stand Down over the three days, volunteers came in shifts to set up and break down the facilities and assist the veterans. They provided meals and coffee throughout the day, picture IDs, and sleeping tents for rest and relaxation. They stocked and manned the clothing tent, showers, barber shop, and stations for medical, dental, and vision assistance and for acupuncture and massage therapy.

TPHS Relief Team tile project raises funds for UNICEF The Torrey Pines High School Relief Team, a coalition of campus community service clubs with the goal of enacting unified fundraising efforts for global causes, held a very successful tile fundraising project this past year, according to team president Caitlin Mackey. The project sold personalized tiles to TPHS students. They were hand-painted by TPHS artists with the students’ names and symbol from sports to arts to academics. The tiles were later installed at the front of the school. “This was a great way to foster school spirit and beautify our campus,” Mackey said. “But most of all, it was a tremendous fundraiser for UNICEF. We sold 66 tiles and raised $2,750 for UNICEF! “We would like to thank Torrey Pines’ Associated Student Body for donating money for installation so that 100 percent of proceeds could go to UNICEF. We also would like to thank Ceramic Cafe for helping us greatly with the tiles. We would like to thank Mr. Chess for being our adviser on this project. And a huge thanks goes to all the people who supported this project!” The Torrey Pines students involved in the project were: Liv Williams, Joey Nievera, Charlie Reed, Lauren Sweet, Eden Berdugo, Jill Wong, Vivianne Cahe and Caitlin Mackey, in addition to countless artists who helped paint the tiles.

San Diego’s engineering ‘Entrepreneur of the Year’ invented his way to a pioneering 42-year career BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor The best single piece of business advice he ever received went something like this: “You’re an engineer. You worked for DuPont. You have all sorts of ideas. You should be able to invent something. Why don’t you invent a new kind of bridge bearing?” So he did, That was 42 years ago. At the time, Ed Fyfe was in his late 20s. He had just left his job in research at DuPont of Canada and was planning to go back to university to earn an M.B.A. and eventually go into business, when his cousin, who ran a company that manufactured bridge bearings and expansion joints, suggested that Fyfe invent his way into a job. It was at a time when long span bridges were just being introduced to North America and traditional bearings could not handle the high loads. “So I came up with the idea of using a DuPont material to take high loads in rotation but with a pin and ring in the center so it didn’t have to take any horizontal forces,” Fyfe said. “And that was my first invention.” With it, Fyfe started his first company, Elastometal, that specialized in making those bridge bearings on which, incidentally, the Hoover Dam bypass now sits. He subsequently went on to found Fyfe Developments in 1970, Fyfe Associates, Inc. in 1983, and his current company in 1992. Today, Fyfe has 50 patents to his name and is founder, president and chairman of Fyfe Company, LLC, and Fibrwrap Construction, a pioneering world leader in the manufacturing and installation of fiber-reinforced polymer materials to strengthen and retrofit concrete structures, including bridges, buildings, industrial facilities and inner walls of aging municipal water pipes. He is also the winner of the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year® 2011 San Diego Award in the Engineering category. As a San Diego winner, Fyfe is now eligible as a candidate for Ernst & Young’s National Entrepreneur of the Year Award in engineering and the National Award in overall categories to be
announced at the awards gala in Palm Springs on Nov. 12. We interviewed the 71-year-old Fyfe in his office at the Fyfe Technology Center in Mira Mesa where he guides his company’s research and development. “That’s my job,” he said. “My son and a young CEO I have who came up through the ranks now basically run the company and I concentrate on developing new products here…with a team of five researchers. “It was hard for me at first because they said, ‘Ed, you have to quit always wanting to be in sales and everything. You have to focus on new developments because that’s where our future is.’ So I phased into it, but now that’s what I do.” Fyfe is a modest, softspoken man, who, when he’s not working, keeps fit working out with a personal trainer once a week, playing vigorous games of squash three and four times a week and sailing. He and his wife, Rolande, have been married for 44 years, raised two children, and have lived in Del Mar for 27 years. On the wall behind his desk is a large surrealistic painting by artist John DeMarco of a huge, moon-like golf ball coming in from another dimension in the sky over a desert oasis. Asked the significance of the painting, Fyfe said, “I just believe there is another dimension, a fourth dimension, a whole life in parallel with what you’re doing. I just kind of think it’s possible.” Inventing, he said, in a sense, is like working in another dimension. Fyfe was born in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. His father was a pharmacist who owned a drugstore in Edmonton. When Fyfe was 6 years old, his father moved the family to Vancouver, British Columbia, and took a job as a salesman with Rexall Drugs until he was able to open his own drugstores in Vancouver. One of the reasons Fyfe decided to study engineering at University of British Columbia, he said, was “I really didn’t want to be a salesperson like my father,” although he appreciated and adopted his father’s “sales attitude” which included writing out lists of his daily goals.
“But the very first engiportunities here. So that’s sort of our first step.

FOR Del Mar!
Friends Of Revitalization (FOR) launches website for Village improvement effort FOR is a citizens advocacy group in favor of making downtown Del Mar a more attractive, pedestrian-friendly and economically viable destination for residents and visitors alike. We believe that the Village improvements envisioned in our Community Plan over 30 years ago have not been fully implemented despite numerous studies, community forums and significant staff time. The vision and groundwork have been done; it is now time for implementation. The City’s effort to create a Specific Plan for our entire downtown can be the tool to finally get Village revitalization underway. FOR wants the community to become engaged in the process by providing input and supporting it in a public vote in November 2012. This is the first of many articles FOR intends to write to further the dialogue with our fellow residents regarding this effort. FOR’s Mission Statement: Assist our City and its leaders in the creation and implementation of a Specific Plan that will provide a framework that encourages redevelopment of both private and public property needed to create an attractive, vibrant downtown core, a pedestrian-friendly sidewalk and a parking plan that meets the community’s needs, while preserving public views and the community’s history and unique character. FOR’s Goals: To finally implement the vision of the 1976 Community Plan as amended in 1985, plus incorporate the valuable work of the Del Mar 2000 Plan, the 1996 Camino del Mar Streetscape Plan, the 2000 Parking Mas-
ter Plan, the 2007 Kennedy Smith Report and the 2010 Form Based Code draft report. FOR Members Believe In: • Improving the appearance and functionality of the commercial area on Camino del Mar from 9th to 15th Street. (To accomplish this, some rules and regulations need to be modified to encourage redevelopment by private property owners.) • Promoting less through traffic in our community. (Del Mar was originally envisioned as a small, beautiful seaside town and a destination for all. We believe Camino del Mar should be a community thoroughfare, not a more convenient diversion for I-5 and 805 traffic jams.) • Creating a Town Center for Del Mar that serves our civic administrative and public needs. (The City Hall site should be redeveloped to satisfy these needs as well as providing convenient and safe public parking on the south side of the Village. FOR asks all Del Mar residents these questions: • Wouldn’t it be enjoyable to have a pleasant walking experience from City Hall to the Plaza with a well-designed, contiguous and safe sidewalk on both sides of the street? • Wouldn’t it be more desirable to have an upgraded shopping experience where stores that cater to community needs flourish and thrive? • Wouldn’t it be better to have an attractive City Hall and Civic plaza that evokes civic pride in Del Mar? • Wouldn’t it be great for the city to realize significant financial benefit from increased sales, transient occupancy and prop-
erty tax revenues that will allow it to provide additional public services and projects to better serve the community? • Wouldn’t it be desirable to have some mixed use development in the downtown core which would include a residential component? If you answer yes to any of these questions, then get behind FOR and become a Friend of Revitalization. FOR wants all Del Mar residents and commercial property owners to join in our efforts. We want individuals to be informed and engaged in the revitalization process and the issues involved so they can make educated decisions based on facts. Our City leaders want public participation in the Specific Plan process and FOR is there to assist this effort. For information on Why revitalize? How to revitalize? History of revitalization and other topics that will be studied before placing the Specific Plan on the November 2012 ballot, we encourage you to visit our website at www.fordelmar. com. — FOR founding members: Al Corti, Howard Gad, Jen Grove, Kelley Kaplan, Linda Rock, and Nancy Johnson Sanquist

Del Mar program makes ‘In-Home Connections’ with seniors BY KELLEY CARLSON Contributor Del Mar Community Connections’ latest program for senior citizens emphasizes that there’s no place like home. In-Home Connections, launched in January, offers various services to Del Mar residents needing a little extra support, but who want to remain independent in their residence. These may include friendly visits, transportation, shopping assistance, meal deliveries, social events, prescription pickup, housekeeping, trusted referrals and more. Seniors pay $50 a month for volunteers to assist them as needed. “It’s worth it!� said June, a 90-year-old IHC member. “I have two wonderful volunteers who shop for me and help me in any way.� Recently, June needed to pick up flea treatment for her cat from the veterinarian. A volunteer not only brought back the treatment, but also applied it to the cat for her. “I’m so thrilled when we can take stress away from a client,� said Jeannie Walsh, member services coordinator for In-Home Connections. “We really have a
great deal of empathy for clients in that predicament.� Walsh said that when she first meets with seniors who are interested in becoming clients, she gets an idea of their weekly schedule and determines how to help achieve their goals. Walsh also informs them of the benefits of the program and encourages socialization, although it is not required of participants. Among the options are a ladies monthly luncheon, ROMEO (Retired Older Men Eating Out) and a health forum the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, all offered through Del Mar Community Connections. “We like keeping people involved, engaged and part of the community,� she said. After a client’s initial meeting with Walsh, a care manager goes to the person’s home and conducts a safety assessment, checking objects such as fire alarms and stairs, and taking into account whether the senior has devices to aid with mobility, such as walkers and wheelchairs. Additional recommendations are then made on how to best aid the IHC

member. Walsh then matches up clients and volunteers, taking personalities into account. Each IHC member has two regularly assigned volunteers, but may get to know as many as four. “We make sure our clients are informed, connected and served,� Walsh said. Residents who are interested in volunteering for In-Home Connections are asked to commit a minimum of four hours each month, and must be at least 21 years old. “They can change the
life of a senior significantly,� Walsh said. One volunteer, Margaret, said she joined the program because she feels that one day she may need such services herself. “It’s the joy of giving,� she said. “It’s a wonderful feeling, being appreciated.� Margaret has taken clients to water aerobics, doctor’s appointments and shopping, and makes friendly calls at least once a week. “As long as I’m capable, I’m going to pitch in and help,� she said.
One of Margaret’s most memorable experiences as a volunteer was taking a client who was unable to stand for long periods of time to Albertsons. The client sat in an electric chair inside the grocery store and “took off.� “She would be watching the products and not watching where she was going,� Margaret chuckled, noting that the client no longer had a driver’s license. “She thought she was at a carnival, riding bumper cars.� Not everyone has to be a volunteer to help these elderly residents. “We really encourage people to be aware of their neighbors,� Walsh said. “They need social contact. If you have concerns about them, give us a call, and we can call and tell them about our program.� Funding for In-Home Connections is through membership fees, individual donations and fundraising events. Walsh said the program recently applied for a private foundation grant. The annual fundraiser for Del Mar Community Connections and its programs, “Casablanca — As Time Goes By,� is slated from 6 to 10 p.m., Oct. 15, at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, 334 14th St., Del Mar. For more information, go to dmcc.cc/inHome.html, or contact Walsh at (858) 792-7570 or jeannie@dmcc.cc.

ONE VIEW Editor’s Note: This column was submitted before publication on July 21 of the letter by Tim Binder. Gordon Clanton will reply in a subseGORDON quent column. CLANTON In the June North Coast 30 column, I columnist challenged the view of some “independent” voters that there is “not a dime’s worth of difference between Democrats and Republicans.” I suggested that Democrats want to raise taxes on the very rich; Republicans want to lower them. Democrats are pro-labor; Republicans are anti-union. Democrats support Social Security, Medicare, and national health insurance; Republicans oppose them. Democrats are pro-choice; Republicans want to outlaw abortion and stem-cell research. That column provoked a rush of e-mail. Thanks to everyone who wrote in. No one disputed any of the distinctions I drew between the parties. One Republican reader asked how I, as an educator, could endorse Governor Brown’s cuts to public schools and higher education. Only because the allcuts budget demanded by legislative Republicans would be much worse for schools. The same reader reported that she and many of her friends believe in the right to choose, stem cell research, environmental protection, and strict gun control. They vote Republican, she writes, because they also believe in small-
er government, fewer government employees, and fewer regulations on the private sector. It must be very stressful these days to be a pro-choice, pro-science, pro-environment, anti-gun Republican. Another reader suggested that those who say, “There’s no difference between the parties,” are simply making lame excuses for their own willful ignorance and political apathy. They are equally prone to such cop-outs as “You can’t fight City Hall,” “My vote doesn’t count,” and “They’re all corrupt.” These people never contact their representatives, he writes, usually can’t even name them, and they complain about how long the ballot is — all while watching 35 hours of TV a week. Ouch! Apart from the apathetic center, I suggest the idea that there is no difference between the parties appeals most to people at the far ends of the political spectrum, the outliers from whose perspectives the parties appear indistinguishable. From the left, one reader wrote: “If you were Big Biz, and you decided you were going to take over the country, would you stop at buying just one party? Hell, there are only two, and they are cheap!” For some on the Randite Right, including libertarian Republican Ron Paul, neither party really supports individual freedom and limited government. Meanwhile, another reader linked me to a website that claims the pro-choice view of abortion is part of a genocidal plot to exterminate black people! Ah, the dialogue of democracy continues . . .

The cost of water The Santa Fe Irrigation District pays its directors for attending meetings AND reimburses them for personal expenses. Below is a list of payments made to SFID directors over the past year. I note that Director Menshek takes no compensation (except
for health insurance). Directors Ingalls and Irvin have a lot of added expenses. Interesting stuff. I had no idea that you could spend so much on phone and fax, or travel and meetings. Brad Burnett Rancho Santa Fe
DM pot shop — three strikes and you’re out In the Del Mar Times’ story “Judge orders closure of Del Mar Medical Marijuana Dispensary,” I was amused by the marijuana dispensary operator’s statement “I always told them (the City) I’d do anything they wanted me to do.” Unless that means obeying city, state and federal laws. Operating without a City business permit and refusing to pay fines racking up over $25,000, strike one. Operating a for-profit dispensary, despite the State Attorney General guidelines stating “Although medical marijuana dispensaries have been operating in California for years, dispensaries, as such, are not recognized under the law,” strike two. Possessing and selling marijuana, a Schedule 1 narcotic, is in direct violation of the Control Substance Act (CSA) and Federal law, strike three. The fraudulent behavior by this,
and many other marijuana dispensaries operators, mirrors the pro pot lobby’s efforts for de facto legalization through the establishment of illegal marijuana dispensaries. Operators of marijuana dispensaries would want us to believe that they are only providing access to the seriously ill, but how can we believe that is the case when they’ve shown to act defiantly against the law? Cities that don’t allow marijuana dispensaries aren’t saying a true caregiver and patient can’t associate together to use marijuana, for this is what Prop. 215 and SB 420 set up. It’s the illegal marijuana storefronts that cities(300-plus now in California) and neighborhoods don’t want. I thank Del Mar for protecting the law against abuse and trying to preserve a healthy and safe environment for all. Anne Reins Del Mar

WATER continued from page 1 other members of the board received the following amounts: Director Ken Dunford, $8,600; Director Michael Hogan, $8,824; Director John Ingalls, $11,613; and Director Robert “Bud” Irvin, $9,864. Director Andy Menshek, who won his seat in November, declined to receive per diem payments or expense reimbursements. However, all five members of the board receive medical and dental benefits paid for by the district,
which totaled $58,215 for the most recent fiscal year. “I take the medical and I feel that’s compensation enough for what I do,” said Menshek, regarding his decision not to accept the per diem or reimbursement payments. Under current district policy, directors receive $200 for each meeting they attend, to a maximum of 10 per month. “It’s an individual decision whether to take it and it’s allowed by state law,” said Menshek. “But as we are raising rates, we should all look inward and see how we can help, from
the top director to the newest employee. That’s part of the reason I don’t take it.” In December, the board approved a maximum of 36 percent in water rate increases over the next three years. Rates went up 12 percent in February, and as part of planning for next year’s budget, directors have approved a 6 percent increase that will take effect next January, although that amount could be adjusted. Menshek said he can understand the public’s concern over director compensation and medical benefits during tight bud-
get times, but that the total is a relatively small portion of the district’s budget, like “a cut to the tip of your finger when the femoral artery is bleeding.” Menshek said the most critical financial issue facing the district is the cost of employee retirement benefits. The board has directed management to request employees to negotiate a second tier of reduced retirement benefits for new hires. Because the district is currently in the midst of a two-year contract with its employees, any change in benefits, even for future employees, would have to
be negotiated with workers. The timing is important, said Menshek, because about one fourth of the district’s 43 employees will become eligible for retirement during the life of the current labor agreement. “It’s a wonderful opportunity to mitigate some of these retirement costs,” Menshek said. If employees do not agree to the reduced retirement benefits for new hires, Menshek said, he would oppose hiring any new workers until a new labor agreement is in place.

Education Matters BY MARSHA SUTTON What happened to the contentious critics who attended all those Del Mar Union School District board meetings the past four years to lambast previous board members, three in particular, for a laundry list of charges that included, confusingly, grievances ranging from inattention to micromanaging? Those naysayers and nitpickers – the “nattering nabobs of negativism,” as Spiro Agnew famously said of his Marsha Sutton detractors – have inexplicably disappeared from public view. Apparently the issues now aren’t nearly as important as the prior prime objective, which was to harangue, harass and humiliate three pesky board members who had the gall to stun the power-brokers and puppet-masters by unexpectedly winning an election. I’m not saying the old board did everything right – they made mistakes, certainly. But the new board also deserves some measure of community involvement, which is glaringly absent. Some of those verbal assaults – aimed at former trustees’ decisions and actions, as well as their personal character – centered around fiscal issues and the proper management of district funds. As recently reported, the current school board, with three new trustees who were championed by those who vilified the previous board, approved two controversial allocations of the district’s allotted $763,000 in Federal Education Jobs Funds, which was federal money intended to save jobs. Del Mar’s decision to give $1,000 in “cash incentives” to all employees amounted to about $500,000. Most of the rest was spent on a Supplemental Employee Retirement Plan (SERP). After this news was released, comparisons were made to other local school districts that chose instead to save temporary teachers’ jobs or use the money to offset the impact of statewide budget cuts to the general fund. No district other than Del Mar used the money to give cash to employees. The question most asked by readers was whether the DMUSD should have contributed the money to support the Extended Studies Curriculum program. Every year, parents are asked – begged, really – to give to the Del Mar Schools Education Foundation specifically for the ESC program (consisting of classes in science, technology, art, music and physical education), which costs a bundle to operate. Parents are told frequently by the district that ESC jobs are in jeopardy as a result of state budget cuts, and programs will be cut if donations fall short. Many parents now want to know why the district didn’t apply that federal money (and there was a lot of it) to the ESC
program. Five hundred thousand dollars could have made a huge impact. A good question. A better question is why the school board didn’t denounce this giveaway and ask the same question before unanimously approving the $1,000-per-employee payout. An even better question is why parents didn’t loudly and publicly condemn the school board for supporting the proposal. A one-time giveaway Last fall, teachers entered negotiations unhappy with higher health care costs and were presented with a district offer to use Federal Education Jobs Funds to offset these rising costs. Although the proposal was tentative – and at the time unapproved, and perhaps even unknown, by the school board – members of the teachers’ union convened and overwhelmingly accepted the unauthorized proposal. Next thing you know, the item is on the school board agenda for approval. So what are caught-inthe-middle trustees to do? Be villains and veto the loose agreement after the district prematurely offered and the teachers accepted? Or acquiesce, be good soldiers, and smile uncomfortably while voting yes? If board members were not involved in early labor negotiations and the offer was made by district senior staff without trustees’ foreknowledge or tacit approval, then they were likely faced with a hard decision. On the other hand, weren’t they elected on a wave of disapproval of former board members who were accused repeatedly, and often unjustly, of not providing proper fiscal oversight? Did no one on this current board consider ways that
money might be put to better use? Don’t elected officials have a primary duty to carefully guard taxpayer money and see that it’s spent appropriately and effectively? Trustees appeared to ignore the very real possibility that, should donations fall short this year, new teachers might be sacrificed if it comes to pass that class sizes must increase or there’s not enough money to fully fund ESC. The $1,000 is what the DMUSD deceptively labeled “a one-time stipend.” But the definition of a stipend is “a sum of money allotted on a regular basis, usually for some specific purpose” – making the phrase “a onetime stipend” an oxymoron. This clearly wasn’t a regular payment; rather, it was a onetime giveaway, a bonus in anyone’s vocabulary. Making matters worse, the district’s “one for all and all for one” idea of equity meant that not just teachers but every district employee all the way up to Superintendent Jim Peabody would be entitled to the federal money. What “incentive” does this provide? What will these workers do better now that they have this bit of money? Will teachers “teach” better? Will Peabody “lead” better? Although a nice piece of change, a $1,000 “cash incentive” isn’t going to change anyone’s lifestyle, especially a full-time employee working in the Del Mar Union School District. But when you put it all together into a halfmillion-dollar package, it becomes a huge chunk of money that could have really made a difference in the security of the ESC program. The “cash incentive, one-time stipend” program insults all the hard-working parents who dig deep into their pockets each year to generously contribute whatever they can afford to sustain the ESC program. Given this misuse of federal money, the Foundation will have a much harder time this year convincing over-extended parents that the district is poor and needs their donations. So who is responsible for this misguided allocation of money? Teachers for asking for it? District staff for offering it? The school board for approving it? Parents for not forcefully objecting? Throwing new teachers under the bus The school board’s approval of this $500,000 giveaway exposes as hypocrisy the motives of those protesters who created such a stink in past years over fiscal mismanagement. Seeing no objections today to actions that, under the previous board would have created near riots and storms of criticism, it would be easy to assume that the outrage was a sham, simply a vendetta against that partic-
race meet. The agreement between the city and Pegram’s group, which owns a number of racehorses including 2010 Preakness Stakes winner Lookin at Lucky, was never formalized with a written memorandum of understanding, Mosier said. “He was very enthusiastic about trying to make the Del Mar meet the premier event in the country,” bring in the Breeders Cup and improve the backstretch, said Mosier of Pegram. “In the end, we did not reach a signed agreement.” “This was a serious flirtation but not an engagement,” he said. Momentum on the proposed sale has stalled since Brown took office in January. A bill by state Sen. Christine Kehoe authorizing the sale has been tabled until next year. And Brown
has ordered his administration to study whether the state should sell fairgrounds properties across California. Councilman Terry Sinnott said the need for better governance at the fairgrounds has not changed, and the city has proposed a better way to oversee fairgrounds operations, called a public trust model, that would spell out allowable uses of the property. Under that scenario, a nine-member board composed of representatives from local cities and public agencies would run the facility as a nonprofit enterprise. “From my perspective, the message has been heard,” said Sinnott. “The state is not happy with current conditions. They want a review of it. Sinnott said he believes that once the state review is complete, a decision will be
made to sell the fairgrounds and put them under local control. “At that time, investors, possibly new investors, will come forward again and we will see fulfillment of all the hard work and innovation the city has invested…” Sinnott said. Councilman Carl Hilliard said that when Schwarzenegger had agreed to sell the fairgrounds, Pegram and his group were interested in investing in the purchase. The deal is now off the table until Brown has a chance to reconsider, he said. “Once another deal is on the table, Mike Pegram and his group will be happy to sit down, I’m sure, and pick up … where we left it,” Hilliard said. “I wouldn’t say its dead by any matter of means.” Along with time, the
Where’s the outrage?
DEAL continued from page 1 Mosier said before the meeting he hadn’t spoken with Pegram for several months, but was aware the investors were frustrated at the slow pace of decisionmaking at the state level regarding a potential sale of the fairgrounds. While Schwarzenegger had supported the sale, Gov. Jerry Brown, who took office in January, has not decided whether to pursue it. “This did not come as a surprise to us,” said Mosier of Pegram’s reported comments. “He (Pegram) told us he didn’t want to move forward with the deal right now. He wanted to take a break and re-evaluate it based on the numbers,” following the current Del Mar

ular school board. One wonders if the relentless defamation of previous board members had less to do with issues than with personalities and retaliation. Do trustees now get to act with impunity? Is there no backlash for mismanagement of federal dollars? Apparently not. As long as the “bad guys” on the school board are gone, new board members get a pass. Yet there is outrage out there – just untapped, unorganized and unscripted. Some comments from readers say it best: •“While all the other local (apparently well run) school districts were using these federal taxpayer funds appropriately to hold on to teaching positions, DMUSD was … handing out $1000 cash bonuses as ‘incentives.’ … All the while, our current teachers, while pocketing their $1000, were out there picketing against the pink slips, and wearing pink in memorial for those poor teachers who were let go. Ridiculous and so disingenuous.” •“Does the DMUSD Board of Trustees and Jim Peabody genuinely think this was truly the intent and the best, highest use of these federal dollars? How can they look themselves in the mirror?” •“Why did parents knock themselves out to dig deep and try to meet the DMSEF’s goal of contributing $800/student or whatever it was? Why didn’t they just apply the $743,000 and keep our oh-so-valuable art, music, tech, PE and science teachers?” •“This is quite possibly the worst mismanagement of funds I have ever seen. So glad to see that Peabody and staff have the best interest of the children at heart here and took $21K out of the General Fund for themselves. How can they possibly expect the foundation to raise money when they pocket it themselves?” •“I was campaigning for our teachers to ‘save their jobs!’ I had no idea they were so quick to throw each other under the bus. How many ESC teachers could we have next year with that money? How many temporary teachers are going to be let go? All this talk of ‘reorganizing’ the library, raising class sizes, reducing ESC, all the while they gave themselves a bonus.” •“The trustees utterly failed to ask challenging questions about this policy, and the superintendent caved on a ridiculous proposal to give out meaningless bonuses in an economic time such as this. Shame on the leadership of DMUSD. That much money could have been used in a number of more productive ways.” Really, what else is there to say? Marsha Sutton can be reached at: SuttComm@san.rr.com.
city has also invested money in the proposed fairgrounds purchase. Earlier this year, Mosier said the city had spent about $150,000 of the $200,000 it had budgeted for up-front costs related to the purchase. While the council expressed optimism Monday that a deal could still be reached, Joe Harper, the president and general manager of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, which runs the annual race meet, said he has heard from contacts in Sacramento that a sale is unlikely any time soon. “At the present time the governor has no interest in selling the fairgrounds,” Harper said he has been told during recent conversations. “You can never say never in politics, but at the present time, there certainly are no plans for selling it.” Harper has not taken a
position against the sale, as was done by officials with the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the fairgrounds for the state. He did, however, question financial aspects of the proposed deal. In particular, he said, he was concerned that if bonds were sold to pay for the purchase, revenue currently used to maintain and improve the facility would instead go to debt service. “I never could see the deal, where the money would all stay here,” Harper said. But Filanc said the city’s finance model is sound, and even accounts for declining racetrack revenue. “The deal works from our standpoint,” Filanc said Monday. “We are still very committed at the city to moving forward.”

Surf B-U9 White Team finalists at Albion Cup Soccer Tournament The Surf B-U9 White team placed second at the Albion Cup soccer tournament in Point Loma on July 16 - 18. The team, coached by Kely Jacobson, played against a competitive field to make it to the championship game against the Albion SC White team. Coach Kely said of his team, “The team started off against a decent team from Mexico and 2-2 was a fair result. Then we caught fire near the opposing teams goal and scored a number of goals, winning the next three games. This pitted us against a very good Albion team which proved too strong. The boys did quite well over the three days and special mention would have to go out to Jace Wasserman and Tejas Gupta, who played consistently good in all the games.”
Tips to reduce youth sports injuries and emotional burnout available at free presentation Aug. 25 Parents, youth sports coaches and others interested in learning practical ways to improve the youth sports experience are invited to attend a free educational event Thursday, Aug. 25, from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. at Scripps Memorial Hospital La Jolla. The presentation will be led by Scripps sports medicine pediatrician Dr. Paul Stricker, who was a team physician for the 2000 Olympic Games. Dr. Stricker reports a steady increase in overuse injuries and stress-related symptoms among his young patients in recent years. He says these conditions often stem from poor understanding of how children develop their sports skills. “Children build their athletic abilities in a progressive sequence that we can’t dramatically speed up,” Stricker says. “Better knowledge of this process can help kids
withstand some of the excess pressures that exist today in organized sports, due to inappropriate training, unrealistic expectations and a distorted meaning of the term ‘success.’” Dr. Stricker is the author of “Sports Success Rx! Your Child’s Prescription for the Best Experience,” published by the American Academy of Pediatrics. Copies of the book will be available for signing and purchase following the presentation. The event will take place at the Schaetzel Center at Scripps La Jolla, located at 9888 Genesee Ave., La Jolla 92037. A light reception will be offered from 5:30 p.m. to 6 p.m., followed by the presentation from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. Cost is free and validated parking will be provided. To register, call 1-800-SCRIPPS.

Surf takes elite title: Del Mar’s Under 17 girls team wins national championship in game televised by ESPN BY GIDEON RUBIN STAFF WRITER It immediately became apparent to Jackie Friedman that this was no ordinary club soccer championship game when she noticed sponsor boards surrounding the field. The fresh cut grass and wall-to-wall television cameras clinched it. The Del Mar Surf under 17 club team recently played in the Elite Clubs Team National Championship in front of a nationally televised audience. The Surf’s 1-0 victory over Player Development Academy, a team based in Westhampton N.J., was broadcast on ESPN. The Surf, a longtime regional power, was making its first appearance in an elite national tournament. All but two of its players have committed to or have offers from Division I colleges. “It was really cool,” Friedman said. “A lot of people at home were watching and they congratulated me.” The Surf traveled to Aurora, Colo., for the eight-team tournament. “Everyone on our team that I talked to said the same thing,” Friedman said. “When we went there we had one outcome on our minds, that was the only outcome that was possible and that’s what we did.” Stephanie Hamilton (Coronado High) scored the game’s only goal off an assist from Torrey Pines standout Alexandra Bailey in the 80th minute. Hamilton, who has standing offers from Brown and Columbia, was among six local players who have accepted or received offers from Div. I colleges. Torrey Pines’ Alexandra Bailey (Texas A&M), Olivia Buechler (Michigan), Nicole Sherwin (Northern Arizona) and Laura Liedle (Stanford), and Cathedral Catholic’s Kendall Kraus (Dartmouth) are the others. “It’s our first year and it’s been great,” Chesters said. “The competition was fantastic.” The elite soccer club tournament is designed to attract maximum college exposure, Surf coach Colin Chesters said. “We proved that we’re the best team in the country,

(Right) Jackie Friedman holding the trophy. and at the same time we’re helping our kids get an opportunity to be seen by college coaches,” Chesters said of what his team accomplished in the Rocky Mountains. The championship game featured a late scare, with a PDA hitting the crossbar with a potential game-tying shot in the last minute. “Your heart was in your mouth the whole time,” Chesters said. “We played well in the final, and then when we scored we sat in a little bit trying to protect it. It might not have been what we needed to do, maybe we should have gone after the second goal, but because there was so little time left we decided to sort sit in and they threw bodies forward and got one across the crossbar.” But while winning the championship was a thrill, the trip to Colorado evoked mixed emotions, with half of the players off to colleges next year leaving a team that’s more or less existed in its current form since most players were in third grade. “We were all extremely happy, but it was a little

bit bittersweet,” Friedman said. “Some of us have been together for like 10 years and we’ve seen these girls twice a week, three times a week, for all those years so we’re all really close. “It was sad but it was also really, really exciting.” In a championship game that featured two uniquely talented programs, the Surf’s camaraderie figured prominently in the title game, Friedman said. “I think it had everything to do with it,” she said, noting that the friendships forged on an off the field enabled the Surf to play a more cohesive and unselfish game. “With the style we play, you need to be able to connect and establish a rhythm with the players you’re playing with and you have to know the players that you’re playing with for it to work out as well as it does,” Friedman said. Friedman is an incoming Torrey Pines senior who has standing offers to play at Columbia and Brown but is undecided between the two.

Congratulations to the Manchester GU13 White team for winning the SoCal Cup over the July 9-10 week-end! The girls are definitely on a HOT streak as they just came off a win at the 2011 Pegasus Cup and were also finalists in the 2011 Manchester Cup. The SoCal Cup’s venue at Oceanside High School boasted a cool breeze and was just a few steps from the ocean but that didn’t distract the Manchester girls from their mission to bring home the hardware. The girls played brilliant, possession soccer scoring 17 goals and not allowing a single goal all four games. The girl’s came flying out of the gates with a 7-0 win against Carlsbad Lighting White on Saturday morning. Emma Hansen, sweeper, scored the first goal with an amazing flying header off a corner kick. Goalie, Ashley Christensen, got in on the action with some field time scoring in the final five minutes of the game. The second game on Saturday against Carlsbad Wave was also a strong 4-0 victory where the girls had the opportunity to develop plays from the back. Both games proved how well the Manchester offense has really jelled. The girls demonstrated smart, precise passing making their attack difficult to defend. The defense also played an integral role as they supported all pass plays and made runs on the outside adding additional numbers to the already aggressive offensive attack. Sunday was off to a slow start for the girls
with a 1-0 victory over Oceanside Breakers that was later to become a tie game. Manchester’s coach, Sean Bullock, saw the ball go out of bounds, unbeknownst to the referees, right before Manchester scored and did the right thing by giving the point back to Oceanside. The girls brought the energy back to the finals; however, with a 6-0 win against the Carlsbad Lightening to win the beautiful, and big, silver trophy! The meticulous and continuous offensive attack from Manchester brought goals from various players. Leading scorers were Bella Bullock with 7, followed by Alex Calegari and Natalie Decker each with 3. Haley Cano, Emma Hansen and Ashley Christensen also put points on the board. Emma Casey was instrumental as a center mid-fielder moving and switching the ball across the field. Equally strong was the defensive team who didn’t let up any goals. Julia Taliana had some tremendous saves in the finals that helped maintain their “clean sheet”. When asked about winning the tournament, Coach Bullock said, “I am very proud of the girls. Their hard work, determination and passion for soccer is palpable. This victory was just another testament to that type of commitment. They are a great group of unselfish girls that embody the true meaning of “team” in how they play on and off the pitch.”

Q& A
Del Mar resident born with entrepreneurial spirit Alex Shahabe, chairman of PC Housing and president of Signature Furniture, is a natural-born entrepreneur as he has always creatively pursued business development. In Germany, at 14 years old, Shahabe began stringing tennis racquets for his peers, then later tennis clubs. In high school and later in college, he began teaching tennis. During his college years in San Diego, Shahabe started a tennis court resurfacing and supply company. Feeling limited by the business opportunities in tennis, he began developing other ideas. Alex Shahabe As a foreign student, Shahabe realized that many international students at UCSD stayed either with host families or in extended stay hotels. Shahabe saw that these adult students needed more comfortable and home-like accommodations. He approached UCSD with the idea of furnished apartments for these students. UCSD decided to partner with a more established company than an inexperienced 24-year- old. The next year, Shahabe, with just his wife as staff, signed a one-year contract with UCSD. Since 2000, Pasha Corporate Housing has continued to be the exclusive student housing provider for UCSD. In 2007, Pasha was recognized by Entrepreneur Magazine as one of the top 500 fastest growing companies in the United States. In 2008, Pasha grew another 76 percent. In 2011, Shahabe started his next company, Signature Furniture Rental. Shahabe credits his phenomenal energetic team for the company’s growth and superior customer experience. For more information, visit www.pchousing.com or www.signaturefurniturerental.com. 1. What brought you to this area? My wife and I have four young children and we wanted a home with land for them to run around on. Del Mar also offers both a comfortable area to live in and has a very local, cozy feeling. 2. What makes your work special to you? I can facilitate a stress-free relocation for my clients.

‘10 days of craziness’ Student experiences Marine-style boot camp through ‘Devil Pups’ BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Local teenager Blake Chaffin recently survived “10 days of craziness” at the Devil Pups program at Camp Pendleton, a physically and mentally challenging Marine-style boot camp. Devil Pups, a nonprofit organization that is not sponsored by the Marines, aims to teach teens about self-confidence, teamwork and the importance of goals. The program borrows its name from the Marines’ Devil Dogs nickname. Blake dominated the final Devil Pup challenge, besting Old Smokey, a huge mountain that they had to climb two miles up at a “ridiculous” 70-degree angle. Blake made it to the top first out of over 300 kids and was honored by receiving a challenge coin from a first general of the Marine Corps. “It was an honor to shake hands with a guy like that,” said Blake, an incoming sophomore at Canyon Crest Academy. To attend Devil Pups, Blake first had to apply to be able to attend and complete a physical fitness test. He was in good shape as he plays lacrosse, but he also prepared for his 10-day camp by going for runs and doing push-ups and sit-ups around the house. “The first three days were awful,” Blake said of adjusting to the encampment commanders’ constant yelling and getting in trouble for things like scratching your nose or not making eye contact. Blake said his “brain clicked” after those first few
Wearing his Devil Pup-issued hat and T-shirt, Blake Chaffin shows off his Devil Pup challenge coin. PHOTO: KAREN BILLING days and he got used to getting up at 4 a.m. on little sleep, the yelling and eating Marine Corps-style MREs (Meal, Ready to Eat)—Blake said the Buffalo chicken had the consistency of pudding. “The program isn’t for the faint at heart, there are some things that are really difficult,” Blake said, noting on the first day three boys were crying as they made their beds. Twenty boys would drop out of the program. Overcoming your fears and doubts was a daily challenge. One day the Pups had
to jump off a ledge into a pool. They started at 15 feet, moving up to 25 and 35-foot jumps. “I’m terrified of heights like that,” Blake said, but he made it into a leap of faith and walked off all of the ledges. “You feel so much better afterward. You feel so much more capable. They tear down everything you’ve known up to then and make you better than you were, and stronger. They build you back up.” The Pups walked in formation, ran five miles on the

beach one day and completed a mud run course on another. The mud run included drills of push-ups, sit-ups and jumping jacks in between running and crawling through the sludge of mud—Blake thought it was more fun than punishment. One night they camped outside, sleeping with nothing more than a poncho. Blake had noticed all the little holes in the ground where they had set up camp, thinking they were some kind of rodents. The holes were actually home to tarantulas—Blake spotted one crawling on a fellow Pups’ face in the middle of the night. The Pups were trained to work as a team, if one person in their platoon made a mistake, the whole group was punished. They weren’t allowed to say the words “I, mine, my or me”—only “This Devil Pup,” a very difficult adjustment. They also had to respond to everything with a loud “Aye, aye Sir,” a habit that was hard to break even when he got home. The first thing Blake did after his July 16 graduation was go to In-N-Out, where he downed two double doubles, two animal-style fries and a strawberry shake. Then he slept like a baby. Blake will take leave from his “10 days of craziness” with a relaxing trip with his Boy Scout troop. Troop 766 is heading to Florida for a sailboat fishing excursion. He said it’ll be close quarters, but he’s used to it. After Devil Pups, he’s ready for just about anything.

‘Gift of El Tio’ authors to appear at Earth Song Books Silver discovery changes lives of Bolivian village, American couple BY JONATHAN HELLER Contributor A renowned geologist who made the largest silver deposit discovery of the 20th century will be in Del Mar on Aug. 6 to sign copies of the book he authored with his wife about the experience. “The Gift of El Tio” tells the story of geologist Larry Buchanan, who made the original find in 1995, and his wife, Karen Gans, a child development specialist, who acted as his conscience during the ensuing mining operation that forced the relocation of the Bolivian village that sat atop the deposit. The two will be at Earth Song Books and Gifts at 1440 Camino Del Mar in Del Mar on Aug. 6 at 10:30 a.m. The couple, who live in Ashland, Ore., spent parts of a decade in the tiny, impoverished village of San Cristobal in the Bolivian Andes as it was relocated brick-bybrick about 11 kilometers away. The title refers to the name of the god whom the indigenous people believed lived underneath the village guarding the precious veins of silver and gold. “El Tio,” according to legend, promised that those who believed in him would receive a gift which would be revealed in the year 2000. To the villagers, Buchanan’s discovery represented the fulfillment of that prophecy. The silver mine meant an end to centuries of poverty. But there was a catch: The entire village would have to be uprooted. For Buchanan, the economic benefits of the mine were obvious. Most male residents of San Cristobal had to move away when they became adults to find work. This would allow them to stay at home with their families. But Gans was not immediately convinced. In fact, she was extremely disturbed by the fact that the 440 inhabitants would lose their ancestral homes. She insisted that she and Buchanan go live in the village to ensure the people were treated humanely and fairly.

The old village of San Cristobal in 1998
January 2011: The old village site “I went into this experience convinced that the mining company was going to screw these people,” Gans said in a recent interview. “But as time went by, I saw the people benefitting (economically) and I had to open myself up to what the mining company was accomplishing.” Today, San Cristobal has almost 3,000 residents; people who were drawn to the area by the promise of jobs in and around the mine. The authors will donate a portion of the book’s profits to the village of San Cristobal, Bolivia. Larry Buchanan earned his Ph.D. in economic geology in 1979 and taught university-level geology for several years, but his love of the field led him to gold and silver prospecting in Asia, Africa,
and the Americas. In 2006, he won the coveted Thayer Lindsley Award for the San Cristobal silver discovery. Buchanan has published a dozen scientific works and is a sought-after speaker at international conferences and college campuses. Karen Gans earned her master’s degree in early childhood development and has 35 years of experience as an educator, counselor, and consultant. She taught English in the Quechua village while the couple lived in Bolivia. Karen and Larry have four children and two grandchildren. The book was published by Fuze Publishing (trade paperback and ebook versions), www.fuzepublishing.com.

Harvard-bound CV musician embarks on first tour Chase Morrin touring with the Monterey Jazz Festival’s Next Generation Jazz Orchestra
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer In his last summer before becoming a Harvard University freshman, Carmel Valley musician Chase Morrin is embarking on his first tour — a two-week adventure with the Monterey Jazz Festival’s Next Generation Jazz Orchestra. Morrin was selected to play piano for the 17-piece big band composed of the brightest high school jazz musicians in the country. “Just to be playing really good music is very exciting,” said Morrin, 17, a Canyon Crest Academy graduate. The group played July 24 at the Annual Carmel Bach Festival and then took off on a nine-show tour to San Francisco, Seattle and Oregon, with a stop in San Diego before finishing up in LA. Their last show will be held separate from the tour, on Sept. 18 at the Monterey Jazz Festival. Morrin hopes to get a good hometown crowd for their Aug. 1 San Diego show at The Nuerosciences Institute, with guest artist Gilbert Castellanos. Morrin’s last summer before
Chase Morrin college is a busy one. Morrin just returned from a gig playing on a Crystal Cruises ship, which travelled from San Francisco to Alaska. When he returns from tour on Aug. 2, he’ll play a show at Dizzy’s on Aug. 4 with his Chase Morrin Quartet and record a CD with his trio in LA before leaving for Har-
vard on his 18th birthday, Aug. 23. He also may make an appearance at the Aug. 8 San Diego Music Awards, where he was nominated for Best Jazz, the youngest nominee in the category. Morrin had several choices when it came to picking a college.
He was accepted to USC, UCLA, Yale, Columbia, Princeton, New York University and University of Miami, in addition to Harvard and the New England Conservatory. Morrin chose Harvard to be a part of a five-year program with the New England Conservatory (NEC)—at the end of five years, he will have a bachelor’s degree from Harvard and his master’s in music from NEC. Yes he is a musician but Morrin is also extremely interested in math and science. He loved math so much that when he finished up his requirements at Canyon Crest Academy he enrolled in a class on differential equations at MiraCosta College. He is as equally interested in molecular biology as he is in the way musician John Clayton infuses his jazz with hip hop. “I don’t want to just be about one thing,” said Morrin. While Boston winters will be a big adjustment for Morrin, the biggest change will be his daily routine of being at his piano, playing, practicing and compos-
ing. The living room in the Morrin home has been Chase’s musical playground since he was a 9-year-old begging for piano lessons from his two non-musician parents. By middle school they invested in a grand piano for him that sits among a drum set, various percussion instruments and a keyboard. Morrin can’t take the grand piano to Harvard, but he will bring the keyboard to his new dorm room. “What a lot of jazz artists are about is finding their own voice, creating a different sound in the genre,” Morrin said. “My ultimate goal is to find out what Chase Morrin’s voice sounds like.” For more on the Next Generation Jazz Orchestra tour, visit chasemorrin.com or www.montereyjazzfestival.org/2011/NGJO. The Aug. 1 show at The Nuerosciences Institute is at 8 p.m. and tickets are $10-$15. The Neurosciences Institute is located at 10640 John Jay Hopkins Dr., San Diego, CA 92121.

Shimbashi Izakaya serves the exotic tastes of Japan right here in ol’ Del Mar BY KELLEY CARLSON taste of traditional Japanese culture can be found in Del Mar at the tapas and sake bar Shimbashi Izakaya. Modeled after the country’s pubs, or “izakayas,” the restaurant is located in the northwest corner of the Del Mar Plaza, on the Market Level, and offers an opportunity to unwind. Upon arriving, guests will find an ocean-view patio dotted with tables and red umbrellas, along with triangular and circular heat lamps for chilly weather. Enter the restaurant through the wood and glass doors shaded by a red awning, and discover decor reminiscent of the Far East. There’s Japanese-style art hanging on a wall; tiny lights shining down from the black ceiling; legs of wooden tables and black-andred chairs resting on the square, black tiled floor. Soft jazz music plays in the background; a Japanese choir group occasionally comes in and sings traditional songs for special events. In front and center of Shimbashi Izakaya is the squareshaped sake bar, lined with about 15 curvy, backless seats. There are more than 30 kinds of sake to choose from — all from Japan

Adjacent to the bar and indoor dining room is the 13-seat sushi counter, where customers watch chefs prepare their favorite dishes, knives slicing and dicing through colorful rolls and seafood. The establishment often gets crowded after 7 p.m., so Edwards suggests coming earlier and taking advantage of the happy hour menu. “It’s more relaxed,” she said. There’s quite a variety of selections served at Shimbashi Izakaya — appetizers such as Thin Sliced Seared Kobe-style Beef and Oyster Shooters; soups and salads; stir-fried, fried and grilled selections, including Dry Squid Tempura and Chicken Yakitori; rice and noodle dishes; hot pots; sushi and sashimi; rolls; and desserts such as Chef’s
Pear Pie with Ice Cream. There are two Omakase courses (chef’s choice) that are available upon reservation. Special menus for kids and to-go items are also offered. “We’re very conscious of our food qualities,” Edwards said. “It’s always fresh.” She is especially fond of the grilled items, such as Seafood Dynamite — mixed seafood in a cream sauce. Guests have the option to roll their own sushi, either at Shimbashi Izakaya or at home. A set is $30 per person, with a minimum two-person order, and includes six sushi ingredients with vegetables, edamame, assorted tempura and ice cream. As for beverages, the restaurant serves tea, sake and shochu (Japanese clear distilled spirit similar to vodka), among others.

Soldier Stories: ‘For people who cannot fight for themselves’ This column presents soldier stories to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes.
BY JEANNE MCKINNEY Contributor Since the Revolutionary War, the United States Marine Corps has served in every American armed conflict, attaining an extraordinary reputation in amphibious and expeditionary ground warfare. Marine Infantry forces or “grunts,� as they affectionately call themselves, are the core of combat. Waiting for my escort at Camp Pendleton to lead me to 1st Lt. Victor Garcia, executive officer of Kilo Co 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, an Infantry unit with 1st Marine Division, I heard the “boom, boom� of artillery. It was a comforting sound. I was on our “warriors and heroes� home turf, about to meet a man with 17 years of honorable service to his country. A native of Salinas, Calif., Garcia didn’t have a lot of options out of high school. Despite opposition from his parents, Garcia sought the “challenge of belonging to an organization as elite as the Marine Corps.� Taught basic infantry skills as a private and private first class in 1995, he quickly moved to the high rank of Gunnery Sergeant, who organizes logistics and coordinates training and combat supplies — for embarking and disembarking off ships. A Gunnery Sgt. is a “Senior Tactical Advisor� to the commander and a leader in combat. Garcia loved it, but another call made him stretch. Garcia reached higher, graduating from San Diego State University in 2009. Inspired early on by Platoon Commanders Lt. Matthew Lynch (killed in action), and Lt. Col. Bohm, he signed up for officer training the following year. Garcia still admires Bohm: “He talked the talk and walked the walk and didn’t accept anything less from his Marines.� As an officer, Garcia feels he serves the Marines better. Awarded two Navy and Marine Corps Commendation medals with the combat “V� for valor, Garcia will tell you he’s “just doing his job as a Marine,� politely declining that he’s a hero, calling me “ma’am.� Respect is the Marine way. Add to that a steely commitment to free the people, save lives, and

Rare match race, unique concerts An evening with the inspirational Louis Zamperini at the Grand Del Mar coming up at Del Mar Racetrack “Even at my age, I’m trying to improve. Never give up, no matter what. Even if you get last place — finish.” — Louis Zamperini BY JODI KENNEDY CONTRIBUTOR Those are the words of one of America’s truly great heroes. At five foot four and barely more than 100 pounds, this tiny smiling man is a giant. Louis Zamperini, Olympic athlete and World War II veteran, has more life in him than an army of men three times his size. His story of Olympic greatness and triumph over torture as a Japanese POW, is currently the subject of Seabiscuit author Laura Hillenbrand’s best-selling book “Unbroken.” If you’ve read the book, then you already know that Zamperini was a medal-winning Olympic runner, heroically served as a World War II pilot, survived adrift at sea for an astonishing 47 days and, finally, triumphed over two-plus years being tortured as a Japanese POW. But that’s only half the story. The other half can’t be told, it has to be felt and seen by meeting the man himself. And that’s just what about 100 lucky people recently got to do. A magical evening, held at the Grand Del Mar, was hosted by Jackie Cohen and Dan Negroni, and made possible by the generous donation of Doug Manchester. Guests were treated to cocktails and appetizers and, more importantly, a hearty serving of Louis Zamperini. Following a video presentation produced by ABC television, the crowd sat in rapt attention as the diminutive 94-year old, clad in his trademark track suit and USC baseball cap, shared his incredible story and the lessons he learned about survival and the power of forgiveness. Although there was barely a dry eye in the house, there was also plenty of
laughter as Louis told his tales with his characteristic wit and an unbelievably bright outlook. Following his talk, guests were given the opportunity to ask their own questions. Mostly people wanted to know: “How? How did you survive and live to come out smiling?” As Jackie Cohen puts it: “When I first met this man, I knew he had something great and important to share with the world. I wanted to do whatever I could to help make that happen.” And that’s just what she did.

Meet Your Neighbor: The Saints Thrift Store and Tim O’Shea BY DIANE Y. WELCH Contributor As St. James Church in Solana Beach celebrates its centennial this year there is a little-known thrift store that has consistently supported the church and its sister mission church, St. Leo, that is worthy of recognition. Tucked down the side street of Academy Drive, off Stevens Avenue, The Saints Thrift Store has been a fixture in the Eden Gardens area of Solana Beach for 27 years. “We understand that it’s not in a high profile area for drive-by and shopping,� said manager Tim O’Shea. “But it is in the middle of the community that we serve.� In recent years the store has not only seen a rise in revenue due to increased foot traffic during the economic downturn, but it has been reinvented by O’Shea. It now has a boutique appeal with a designer clothing section, and quality home decor and baby items. O’Shea drives down to the store from La Costa, where he lives, to oversee
the volunteer workforce, and to manage operations. He and his wife moved to the area in 1985 and placed their children in St. James Academy and since then have been supportive parishioners, O’Shea said. The dynamic of the store is quite unique, said O’Shea, and has a three-fold benefit. It primarily serves low-income families by providing them with some of the everyday necessities at a low cost. Secondly, it allows people to volunteer, with several volunteers having worked at the store for 20plus years. Thirdly, it provides an easy way for people to support those in need by simply donating their discarded clothing or household items. From a revenue standpoint the items sold cover the rent and operating overhead. Whatever is made above that goes to support the health clinic at St. Leo Mission. “Folks can go there and pay $10 to have doctors check them out and get them fixed up,� said O’Shea. Earnings also helps support youth groups at St. Leo and

St. James. When O’Shea first took the store over three years ago it was, “Quite a hodgepodge,� he recalled. There was a lot of clutter with no sense of categorization or merchandising. “It just
needed some of the fundamental retail elements to improve it.� O’Shea’s professional background includes employment with Eastman Kodak as a key account manager and a business develop-
ment manager. A Connecticut native, business brought O’Shea to San Diego 26 years ago. He oversaw large accounts with the military and theme parks. “But essentially I was working in Kodak’s consumer product line, so retail is what I did for many years.� This experience provided O’Shea with the background to bring some of these retail elements into the thrift store. “I saw an opportunity to make this a nicer place to shop, a place to make it easy for customers to find things that they find appealing, and also to enhance the quality level of the merchandise,� he said. A relationship was established with a clothing resale store in Del Mar that donates expensive garments. “So now we can provide our customers with exceptionally lowpriced designer wear.� The store offers highend products that appeal to a new shopper — that historically it had not been attracting — as well as maintaining low prices on the basic staples of household items and casual wear for
the lower-income shopper. To meet the needs of those who are struggling during the lagging economy, everything in the store, above the price of $1, is half off, every day. Assistant manager Madeline Green, who opens and manages the store on Friday and Saturday, is a key component to the store’s success, O’Shea said. There is also support from Rev. John Howard and Deacon Peter Hodsdon. Currently the store is getting ready to introduce its fall line of clothing, which is very strong, said O’Shea. There will be many new quality designer items featured at a low price, such as sweaters, coats and jackets. Volunteers are also working on aesthetic improvements in the store to make the shopping experience even better, he added. The store is located at 817 Academy Drive. Store hours are Mon.-Sat., from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Donations are accepted from 10 a.m.-3:30 p.m. Call 858-755-0654 for information.

Here’s a question: Where can you find top-notch live music, an amazing seaside setting, picnicking families, neighbors, and friends, all rocking out together on a grassblanketed dance floor? And all for free! The answer: At the Del Mar Foundation’s Summer Twilight Concerts at Powerhouse Park. It may all sound too good to be true, but that’s exactly what the Del Mar Foundation provides for the village of Del Mar every month of the summer. This brings the people of our community together and provides an opportunity for toddlers and teenagers to bop to the beat right alongside moms, dads, and grandparents. As local resident Susie Lampe says, “Where else in the world could you have this setting with great live music, family and friends?” The night provided an added bonus for Laura DeMarco. “ It’s one of the only places
where my kids don’t mind being seen with me!” With help from the Poseidon Restaurant, Joe Harper and the Del Mar Lifeguards, the Del Mar Foundation was able to bring premiere oldies band Rockola to the stage. Famous for their spot-on renditions of Beatles classics, they performed everything from Motown to pop to soul. Rockola is touted as having more tunes on hand than a wellstocked jukebox. Whatever the genre, the crowd was certainly happy to be shaking their hips and getting their kicks in the Del Mar sunshine. And that makes the Del Mar Foundation very happy too. The next concert will be held on Tuesday, Aug. 16, at 7 p.m., and will feature “Mrs. Robinson.” For details about upcoming concerts, visit www.delmarfoundation. org. PHOTOS: JON CLARK

For a sure-fire way to take the heat, whip up some chilled soups The Kitchen Shrink
CATHARINE KAUFMAN Contributor After spending more than a week in the Sonoran Desert (that makes a sauna look like a meat freezer), I’ve mastered the art of cooking without applying heat. Charred offerings are so Neanderthal anyway, while raw food gurus put the skids on temperatures north of 104°F or 40°C. If you can’t take the heat — get out of the kitchen with some of my nocooking required faves from chilled soups to sweet and savory nuts. Cold soups evoke fond and fun memories of my youth, even in the wintertime. As a child, I loved my Russian grandma’s dessertdelicious, gorgeous fuchsia beet borscht, chilled to perfection with a swirl of silky sour cream bulls-eye in the center. My Aunt Joy was also a chilled soup aficionado, especially on the days when she entertained her bridge ladies. On those balmy patrician summer afternoons she refused to cook for fear of permeating her home with offensive cooking aromas (and heat) that she associated with an aura of peasantry. Every week she served a different chilled soup, her best picks – lobster fennel, carrot with cucumber pistachio relish, water-
melon with basil cream, and avocado with lump crab. During my teen years, I experienced a zany chilled soup epiphany, while doing kitchen patrol for an affluent socialite, for whom I regularly babysat. About as adroit in the kitchen as Roseanne Barr on a tightrope, Mrs. Fortune-500 enlisted me, the 16-year-old boy-crazy sous chef to help prepare a pish-posh gourmet feast for her New Year’s Eve soiree for two dozen of her hubby’s high-powered colleagues and clients. Lucy and Ethel started preparing the vichyssoise late afternoon, even though the soup needed to chill for several hours, and guests would be arriving around 7 p.m. She lived in a tony penthouse in downtown Toronto, with a huge panoramic balcony sporting below zero temperatures in the dead of winter. Thank goodness the hostess’ brains outweighed her culinary savvy as she placed the steamy pot of soup on the frigid balcony to chill. The vichyssoise was temperatureready after sumptuous appetizers were served. In my “salad days” when I visited the south of Spain, I fell in love with the traditional Andalusian chilled veggie soup called gazpacho, which at the time I thought translated from Spanish for “baggy, chic pantaloons.” This ruby liquid salad blending ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, garlic and chunks of crusty bread sopping with golden Spanish olive oil is the country’s signature soup, which probably originated in the Middle Ages during Spain’s Islamic occupation. Gazpacho was then called “ajo blanco,” a concoction of crushed almonds, garlic, bread, olive oil and
vinegar. Originally, this dish which was considered a poor man’s food, a soggy paste served to the workers in the vineyards, groves and fields, has evolved into many chefs’ creative combinations and permutations at assorted frou-frou eateries around the globe. Today, chilled summer soups make my A-list for a light and refreshing, yet hearty and zesty treat, bursting with vibrant colors and flavors of sun-ripened, fresh off-the-vine fruits and veggies. Showcasing California’s bountiful summer beauties are avocado chili bisque, roasted red pepper gazpacho, strawberry vermouth, spicy mango ginger, Greek Karpouzosoupa, (watermelon mint soup), raw chilled corn chowder, pineapple and chipotle cream and blueberry wine. Serve some assorted nuts on the side, especially heart-healthy walnuts, antioxidant-packed almonds, or pecans, the Roto-Rooter for arteries. For sweet-tooths: jazz up the nuts with a sprinkle of cinnamon, brown sugar and ginger or a pumpkin pie spice mix. For savory taste buds: do a Mediterranean concoction of sea salt, rosemary, garlic and basil. For a Southwest flavor: blend chili powder, cayenne, garlic, cilantro and a smoky chipotle pepper. For East Indian: do a mix of cumin, turmeric, brown sugar, ginger and garlic. Try this refreshing Middle Eastern chilled soup that can be made ahead of time before your bridge (or mahjongg) ladies arrive. Served it in Champagne flutes or martini glasses.

Local Marine and family receive financial assistance from FACE for injured puppy •Do nations still needed Local hero, Marine Jamie Davidson, and expectant wife, Jacklyn, are receiving emergency financial support from animal welfare non-profit FACE Foundation. The Davidsons’ three-month-old Australian shepherd, Jericho, was struck by a car and seriously injured in front of the family home. After a nearly-fatal wounding in Afghanistan, Jamie Davidson received a second chance at life, and now his beloved Jericho is in equal need of saving. Last June, Jamie Davidson was shot in the arm while serving in Afghanistan. The bullet ricocheted in his body after its exit was hindered by his bulletproof vest; the bullet then punctured his lung, Jamie Davidson and Jericho broke four ribs, and settled in his stomach. Jamie Davidson died twice on the operating table, but he was resuscitated successfully. His memory was undermined due to extensive blood loss, and, currently, he undergoes both physical and mental rehabilitation. The stress of Jamie’s war injury, Jacklyn’s pregnancy, and now little Jericho’s life-threatening accident has left the Davidson family in desperate need of the community’s assistance. In efforts to raise money for Jericho’s surgeries, the Davidsons are selling all of their expendable possessions; halfway to their goal, the family still needs help. While FACE Foundation is granting funding to the family, it is not too late for the community to provide assistance. FACE relies solely on generous donations from the public. Donations for Jericho Davidson may be placed with FACE via www.face4pets.org.

To Your Health: New device may eliminate the need for blood thinners in some atrial fibrillation patients BY MATTHEW J. PRICE, MD AND DOUGLAS GIBSON, MD, SCRIPPS HEALTH A new device currently being studied at select hospitals across the country may eliminate the need for blood thinning medications in some patients who have a heart condition known as atrial fibrillation (“AF”). The most common cause of irregular heartbeat, AF affects more than two million people in the United States. Although it is often seen in patients with high blood pressure, coronary artery disease, lung disease and other conditions, the cause of AF is often unknown. It does become more common with age, especially after age 60, and affects one in ten people over age 80. By the year 2050, it is expected that more than five million Americans will suffer from AF. AF occurs when the electrical impulses that control the way the heart beats become irregular. Every time the heart beats, the two upper chambers of the heart (the atria) contract, followed by the two lower chambers (the ventricles) in a coordinated and organized fashion. In comparison, during AF the electrical activity in the upper chambers (the atria) becomes very fast and disorganized. When this occurs, the upper chambers (atria) quiver and do not pump blood effectively. Normally, the heart beats between 60 and 100 times per minute, but in people with AF, the heart can race very fast. This can lead to symptoms including shortness of breath, fatigue, chest discomfort and dizziness, although some people with AF have no symptoms at all. Whether patients have symptoms or not, AF can cause blood to stagnate or pool in the left atrium, creating an ideal environment for blood to clot. These clots most commonly occur in a part of the left atrium called the left atrial appendage. These clots can break loose and travel through the bloodstream and up to the brain, where they can cause a stroke; indeed, patients with AF have six times the risk of stroke than people who have a normal heart rhythm. In order to reduce the risk of stroke caused by these blood clots, many AF patients take a blood-thinning drug called warfarin (brand name Coumadin). But treatment with warfarin can be challenging for the patient and doctor: if the blood is too thin, it can cause bleeding problems that may be severe and life-threatening, and if the blood is not thin enough, the patient will be at a continued risk for stroke. The level of warfarin can be affected by many things, such as meals, fluctuating weight, medicines, and other factors; therefore, frequent blood tests are required to monitor the thickness of the blood. A new device, however, may revolutionize the way AF patients are treated. A clinical study underway at Scripps Green Hospital is evaluating the effectiveness of a tiny, parachute-like device called the WATCHMAN® that may reduce the risk of stroke and eliminate the need for blood thinning medications in some AF patients. This novel treatment is the currently the only one of its kind in the United States. The WATCHMAN is designed to close off the left atrial appendage (the area in the heart where blood can pool and clot), thereby preventing blood clots from going to the brain and enabling patients to safely discontinue warfarin. The device is implanted into the heart without surgery: the patent is given a local anesthetic, and the catheter is inserted through a small incision in the groin and threaded through

the vein up to the heart. The procedure takes one to two hours, and patients usually spend one night in the hospital. Patients can stop warfarin 45 days after a successful WATCHMAN implant. Eligible participants must be eligible to take warfarin and have a history of AF with or more risk factors for stroke, such as age more than 75 years, diabetes, high blood pressure, prior stroke or transient ischemic attack, heart failure. As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, but they are very low. The WATCHMAN study is scheduled to conclude in 2012, and new patient enrollments will likely close that year. Evaluation by the FDA for approval for use of the device in the United States is anticipated in 2013. Patients who are interested in participating should speak with their cardiologists and/or contact research coordinator Maria Reyes at (858)554-8931. Scripps Health interventional cardiologist Matthew J. Price, MD and Scripps Health cardiac rhythm specialist Douglas Gibson, MD are the principal investigators of the WATCHMAN study.
