Del Mar medical marijuana ordinance up for vote in November
BY CLAIRE HARLIN

■ TPHS graduate comes home to perform at Humphreys Backstage Live. Page 8
Despite unanimous Del Mar City Council opposition and the receipt of an unfavorable report, an ordinance allowing medical marijuana dispensaries and also the local regulation and taxation of them has been put on the Nov. 6 ballot. A similar initiative is in the works for Solana Beach as well. The initiative was brought before the Del Mar council last month after The Patient Care Association, an advocacy group working to get the initiative on ballots countywide, certified it by collecting well over the required 10 percent of residents’ signatures. The council at that time voted to order a re-
port on the initiative, buying them 30 days to make a decision on passing the ordinance or ordering an election. At a special Del Mar City Council meeting on July 18, the council received the report, heard public comment on that report and voted to put the initiative on the ballot — the council’s only choice under state law besides passing it. The decision didn’t come without fierce opposition, however, and councilmembers passed a resolution allowing them to write a rebuttal. “This is in no way an exhibit of our support, but the signatures are valid and See MARIJUANA, page 19
•I f approved, long-planned bond would be placed on November ballot; Bond would help pay for a number of much-needed projects, superintendent says By KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union School District board will be making a decision at its July 26 meeting whether to put a $449 million general obligation bond on the November ballot. The money from the bond will go to support upgrades in the district’s nine schools, including a new performing arts center and gym for Torrey Pines High School, as well as the construction of a new middle school in Carmel Valley. The San Dieguito district last went for a bond in 1971. “It’s been 40 years and we believe what we’re looking at getting this district in very good standing for the next approximately 40 years,” said Superintendent Ken Noah.“We’re not doing this lightly. We want to put something on the ballot that is defensible and justified…a solid, wise investment in our schools and our high school district.” The bond represents a maximum cost for taxpayers of $24 per $100,000 of accessed property values. The median home value in the district is about $600,000, which represents about $150 a year. The idea to go after a general obligation bond is something the district has been working toward for the last four years. The planning was set in motion in 2008, even before Noah joined the district. In his periodic visits to the district (before he became superintendent) it became clear to him that they needed to do a comprehensive long-range facilities plan and the studies began that fall (when Noah joined the See BOND, page 7
Solana Beach forum provides information on recent federal deferred action memo BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET
■ Leon Davis has helped keep the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club sparkling for more than 40 years. Page 16
President Obama made a landmark announcement last month to grant deferred action to thousands of undocumented immigrants, and more than 100 locals packed the Solana Beach Presbyterian Church chapel on July 21 to find out how this change of policy affects them. Immigration attorney Tammy Sumontha, who volunteers for a number of nonprofits, gave a presentation about how to apply for
deferred action status, as well as how to avoid prevalent fraud and scams associated with the application process. She said that the application will not be made available through the federal government until Aug. 15, and any legal or notary organization or individual advertising (usually via Craigslist) that they can submit an application before that date is likely a scammer. “Don’t go to a notario,” said Sumontha, who oversees the California Western Community Law Project. “If

you don’t qualify for deferred action, you could end up on the Department of Homeland Security’s (DHS) radar. Or worse, they could take your money and do nothing.” The DHS action is geared toward young undocumented immigrants who came to the United States under the age of 16 and have been here for at least five years. They also have to be in school or have a degree, or be a military veteran. Requirements also inSee FORUM, page 7
Acclamation tops at Eddie Read Stakes Acclamation extended his winning streak to seven, as the race favorite led wire-to-wire in the $300,000 Eddie Read Stakes (Grade I) at Del Mar on July 21. It was also the second consecutive year that he won the event. The 6-year-old Acclamation — who is the nation’s reigning champion older horse — covered the 1 1/8 miles on the turf course in 1:46.86 with Patrick Valenzuela in the irons. Interaction finished 2 3/4 lengths back in second, while Casino Host was third. The next stop for Acclamation, who is trained by Don Warren, and owned by Judy and Bud Johnston and Peter and Mary Hilvers, will likely be in the $1 million TVG Pacific Classic (Grade I) on Aug. 26, which he won last year, or the Del Mar Handicap (Grade II) on Aug. 25.

Bookkeeper sentenced for embezzling funds from Solana Beach company BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A La Jolla woman who stole nearly $1.5 million from a real estate development company where she worked as a bookkeeper was sentenced July 24 to nearly six years in state prison. Jennifer Lyndi Davey, 64, was also ordered by Vista Superior Court Judge Kimberlee Lagotta to pay more than $1.487 million in restitution. Davey was arrested in February and pleaded guilty two months later to grand theft and forgery. She had been under investigation since early 2008, when the bookkeeper who succeeded her at Beckman Properties in Solana Beach discovered a fraudulent account the defendant had set up to funnel stolen funds from the firm, said sheriff’s Sgt. Mark Varnau. While employed as accountant and operations manager at Beckman, Davey altered or forged 332 checks drawn against company accounts, used company business funds to pay off her credit cards, and created phony credit card statements to cover her thefts, according to Varnau. Davey — whose position gave her access to banking information to five business entities operated by Beckman — created a fake business account under the name Professional Advisors Unlimited and transferred the stolen funds into it, the sergeant said. Her employers eventually fired Davey in late 2007 over unrelated job performance issues prior to the discovery of the embezzled funds, Varnau said. He said the investigation took nearly four years to complete because the case was financially complicated. Davey used the stolen money to support a lavish lifestyle, which included trips and the purchase of jewelry, Varnau said.

Del Mar getting closer to adopting revitalization plan BY CLAIRE HARLIN EDITOR@DELMARTIMES.NET
As Del Mar city officials near finalization of the Village Specific Plan that will be up for a vote of Del Mar residents in November, they presented feedback from the city’s Planning Commission on July 18 and accepted a list of modifications suggested by the commission. The City Council will consider adopting the final draft of the development plan on Aug. 6. At its July 10 meeting, the Planning Commission presented a number of concerns about the plan involving issues from noise pollution to parking. They said there should be better noise protection measures, such as limiting outdoor dining to only Camino del Mar. Commissioners also described decreasing Camino del Mar to two lanes and installing roundabouts a “fatal flaw” and compared the plan’s parkonce methodology to the taking of private property. Under this concept, which has been controversial, the public would be encouraged to park on private lots for access to any business, eliminating the “reserved” designation for on-site parking. The Planning Commission also spoke to the plan’s potential for a highly successful downtown Village, and stressed the importance of threshold (milestone dates) to allow change to happen with continued review. One of the commission’s modifications to the plan accepted by the Del Mar council affirms 10-year threshold intervals, with the Planning Commission being
the first review. Another modification of the commission is to add a fifth roundabout at the signal north of 15th Street at the Del Mar Plaza entrance. Planning and Community Development Director Kathy Garcia said this is a component of the plan that will be explored further when the city gets into the design phase of the process, because right now the city has only done a conceptual study. “It will all be a public process that will be looked at very carefully,” she said. Another modification accepted by the city is to make clear in the ballot language that “the success of roundabouts will not be fully realized until a full scope of improvements both north and south of the Village is complete.” While it will most likely take decades for the city to reach its maximum development capacity as outlined in the plan, that was a major part of the council’s most recent discussion. As suggested by the commission, the council agreed on decreasing the capacity from 600,000 to 500,000 square feet. “We are compromising with what the community wants and I’ve been hearing that 600,000 is too big,” said Councilwoman Lee Haydu. Another modification suggested by the commission was the consideration of lane separation or a median along Camino del Mar. Longtime Del Mar resident Bud Emerson, who has been highly in-
volved in the drafting process, said he supports the plan, but he would like to see more compromises on the table. “This is a leadership moment for you to recognize there is significant fear in the community,” Emerson said, addressing the council. “You’ve finally gotten everybody’s attention in town and people are afraid.” He said making more alternatives in relation to building height and construction phasing might be a step in the direction of satisfying some who are opposed to the plan. He suggested starting development in the area between 13th and 15th streets, and then waiting for five years to see how the community responds to it. He also proposed temporary roundabouts to test their functionality. “I’m asking you, as leaders, to reach out to the parts of the community that are really upset about it,” he said. Councilman Mark Filanc agreed that the negative impact on business from contraction in Bird Rock, a La Jolla community that has undergone similar revitalizations efforts and installed roundabouts, is a red flag for some. He said construction took two years there. “In Del Mar we can do a good job, but is there anything else we can do during the construction phase and until we get more parking?” he said. Filanc suggested servicing the downtown area with a shuttle during construction to mitigate the loss of

Multi-talented local resident helps give deserving entrepreneurs a chance
Del Mar Firefighters to present community first aid class Aug. 8
Doug Giese with Baby Okapi. Agile Nanotech Inc., that’s applying technology from UCLA’s nanotechnology lab to use infrared light to look into muscles to determine oxygen levels. He said the concept is something that could be of great value to “higher-end athletes who want more specific performance data.” The company is working the Human Performance Laboratory at San Diego State University and a consultant from UC Davis to advance the idea and ex-
pects to file for a provisional patent in three to six months, he added. An engineer who says his parents embody the American story, Giese married Debbie, his high school sweetheart from Palos Verdes High School. His family moved there after his dad, who grew on a wheat farm and dropped out of school in eighth grade, married his mom, who was raised on a cattle ranch. “After they married, he got a Ph.D. in electrical engineering,” he recalled, noting they first settled in Gardena before moving to Rolling Hills. His own educational track took him to Vanderbilt University in Nashville, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in biomedical and electrical engineering, along with a master’s and Ph.D. in electrical engineering. Giese’s first job out of college was with TRW in Redondo Beach where he was involved with the early stages of artificial intelligence and the LANDSAT imaging systems. But the couple “didn’t like L.A.,” Geise said, so
when the company opened its San Diego division he came here to manage the software group. But he “got the bug to start his own company,” and with three friends launched AP Labs, which developed complex signaling processes and rugged computers and consulted mostly with the military on such projects as submarines B2 bomber. After selling his share of the company in 2002, he joined Tech Coast Angels. While Giese says as “an engineer I’m not too crazy,” he enjoys ocean sailing and once sailed single-handed in a storm from Los Angeles to San Diego on a 22-foot boat. He also likes driving his Jeep off road – slowly — in the Southern California deserts. His wife, Debbie, who camped and did the off-road trips with Doug when their son and daughter – now college grads – were younger, is not too keen about sailing, he noted, especially because of her memories of that trip to San Diego. Facing rough conditions near Catalina, he said, he recalled being told that “if you can’t do anything
else, just go below and rest.” So he battened down the hatches, dropped anchor and tried to sleep. The next morning, sails shredded and his radio direction finder broken, he set out again even though he couldn’t see land or sky to aid his navigation. At one point, he “got a brief glimpse of Oceanside.” Meanwhile, he said, Debbie called the Coast Guard and asked if she should be concerned. They answered, “Yes, be very concerned.” Although they didn’t launch a search that night because of the conditions, the next day they sent out a helicopter. “They held out a sign that said ‘Are you Doug Giese,’” he recalled. “I said, ‘Yes and my house is right over there.” He finished the trip. During that night at sea, Giese said, he kept thinking “that’s the stupidest thing you’ve ever done. It’s cold and raining …” Today, he said, if he did it again, he’d be sure that he had a working radio and a cell phone.
Del Mar Firefighters will present “Staying Alive,” a first aid class open to the community, from 1 to 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 8, in the Del Mar City Hall Annex, 235 11th St. The event is co-sponsored by Del Mar Community Connections and the Del Mar Community Emergency Response Team, and is the initial presentation in a series of “Staying Alive” classes. Issues to be covered in the Aug. 8 class include treating burns, dressing and bandaging wounds; treating fractures, dislocations, back injuries, sprains and strains; applying splints to hands, arms and legs; treating hypothermia and heat exhaustion, and controlling nose bleeds.

BY KATHY DAY As a man who helps new entrepreneurs with good ideas get a kickstart in business, Doug Giese passes on some sage advice that someone once gave him. Starting a business, he said, is like being a Mississippi riverboat gambler: It’s a closed community. They don’t bet everything on one roll of the dice and if they don’t play fair, no one will play with them. The same is true when starting a company, he said. “Conserve cash, don’t be crazy and get a real good board of directors,” said the Rancho Santa Fe resident who is on the board of Tech Coast Angels (www.techcoastangels.com) and is a founder and vice president of its seed track program. The organization, the largest investor network of its kind in the country, assists early-stage companies with capital and guidance, while its seed program focuses on those with proven technology that generally don’t qualify for traditional angel or venture capital funding. Giese is also involved with a start-up company,

Volunteer Jan Fuchs receives Sierra Club San Diego’s ‘Political Activist Award’ BY KAREN BILLING The Sierra Club San Diego chapter recently honored its best volunteers at its Gala Celebration and Awards Dinner. Among those honored was Carmel Valley resident Jan Fuchs, who was given the Political Activist Award. “Jan has been a key person for the San Diego chapter’s politi- Carmel Valley’s Jan cal committee for Fuchs recently received many years,” said Rich- the Sierra Club of San ard Miller, San Diego Diego’s Political chapter coordinator. Activist Award. “Because of that she is in direct contact with a lot of elected officials and she’s very proactive representing the Sierra Club and the environment.” Fuchs received a wooden plaque from the Sierra Club, as well as a commendation from State Assemblyman Marty Block on behalf of the California Legislative Assembly. Unfortunately, she was unable to attend the award ceremony due to a tennis injury—tennis is her passion, second only to environmental issues. “I was flabbergasted to get it, to tell you the truth,” Fuchs said of winning the award. She even tried to pass it on to someone else. “There are so many people that do so much more than I do on the political committee. I guess it’s an example, though, of when you love what you do, you don’t realize how much you’re doing.” This is not Fuchs’ first time being honored by the Sierra Club. In 1995, she received the Rainbow Warrior Award for her work with Pardee Homes in their development of Pacific Highlands Ranch. Also in 1995, she was honored alongside Carmel Valley resident Anne Harvey with the
Amy Cook DRE## 0172 DRE 001723190 172319 31900
Community Activist of the Year award, also for their work with Pardee and development of Prop M, which limited development of Pacific Highlands Ranch. Fuchs can’t say enough about the value of the Sierra Club, which she said is more than just a “bunch of tree-huggers.” Fuchs said they do such an impressive, professional job with the resources they have. Not only do they work hard to protect San Diego’s unique environment, Fuchs said they “hold our elected officials’ feet to the fire to do the right thing in planning, governing and land use.” The Sierra Club is the nation’s and San Diego’s largest environmental grassroots organization. Founded in 1948, the San Diego chapter has more than 12,000 members and they cover just about every aspect of the environment. Recently they have been involved in the Interstate 5 widening, the Miramar Landfill lawsuit, the Gregory Canyon Landfill issue, the seals in La Jolla Cove and fighting the Quail Bush Power Plant in Santee, to save neighboring Mission Trails Park and adjacent communities. “Another big program this year is promotion of renewable energy versus the continuing use of fossil fuel to provide our local energy,” Miller said. “We keep busy.” One of the club’s busiest times are election seasons, which Fuchs does a lot of work with the political committee to generate Sierra Club endorsements. Fuchs said that while you can work hard to get policies enacted, nothing will happen unless you get the right people in office. “Jan has done so much outstanding work in furthering the chapter’s mission to elect environmentally-friendly candidates,” Miller said. Fuchs and a committee of volunteers spend hours interviewing all of the candidates. “It’s so important to get the word out that the Sierra Club interviews and vets everybody running for office throughout San Diego County, including school boards,” Fuchs said.

The committee members are still deciding on which candidates they will endorse in some races, but once they do, those choices have to be approved by the Sierra Club’s state political committee. “In between the elections we have all those local issues to cover, which is really as much work as political vetting,” Fuchs said. “We stay in contact with City Council and other elected officials and educate them on issues. Having that two-way communication is really important in developing those relationships.” In addition to education and dealing with political issues, the club also does a number of organized hikes, bike rides and camping trips all around the county, focusing on getting people outdoors and enjoying their natural backyard. “Our basic philosophy is that if people get out into nature, they will want to preserve that nature,” Miller said of the educational outings. “Our outings are a great opportunity for us to show people what we do in order to preserve and conserve the properties.” People don’t have to be members to participate in an outing, which range from ski trips to the Young Sierrans (an early 20s group), there’s even a singles group. “There’s so many opportunities to really get out and learn nature,” Fuchs said. Fuchs encourages the community to get involved with the Sierra Club, by either enjoying one of their outings or by contributing time or funds. “Without community support, the club can’t continue to do the work like they are, especially in this economy, they’re struggling,” Fuchs said. “In Carmel Valley alone, the Sierra Club is looking out for the interests of our community every day.” Outings are listed on the website, as well as all other information about the group to join or donate to the cause.

BOND continued from page 1 district as superintendent). A task force of over 30 community members worked for nearly a year, ending in December 2009 and coming to the board with their plan in January 2010. “At that time the plan went on a hiatus because of the economic conditions, but by the late summer of 2010 we brought it back to life and actually took comprehensive planning to a school by school basis,” Noah said. “We went through a similar process at the local level, refining the plans for each of our nine school sites, as well as looking at a new middle school in the Carmel Valley area.” The planning work was completed in late 2011 and the district went to work preparing all the necessary documents with architects and construction managers, getting more specific numbers on details and a costanalysis of the plan. “It was an exhaustive process and our reason for doing that is we know we are going to be asking for public support for a significant bond,” Noah said. “It was important we do our due diligence in that so we can take something to the voters that is defensible and fully vetted.” Some of the things the bond will pay for mark exciting changes for Carmel Valley schools. The first of which is a brand new middle school, on the land adjacent to Canyon Crest Academy. The middle school will cater to likely 1,000 students as Pacific Highlands Ranch is built out. “It will also alleviate overcrowding at Carmel Valley Middle School,” said Noah of the school which is currently at 1,500 students. “The opening of the new middle school will take Carmel Valley Middle down to 1,000 students, which is a more appropriate size.” The bond will also address Earl Warren Middle School, the second oldest facility in the district at 50plus years old. If the bond passes, the plan is for Earl Warren to be completely torn down and rebuilt (with the exception of the joint-use Solana Beach Library building) to the highest standards of green and energy-efficient building. Like Earl Warren, Torrey Pines High has also seen some “wear and tear” at its campus, where the oldest structures are over 40 years
July 26, 2012 old, built in 1971. The plan is for the oldest part of campus to receive upgrades to safety features, roofing, HVAC and technology support. The plan is for Torrey Pines to also finally get a performing arts center—it is the only one of the four high schools in the district that does not have one. Torrey Pines will also get a new gym. “The gym currently is not sufficient for the number of programs that they have,” Noah said. “In 1971 we didn’t have the number of kids involved in athletics and certainly not the numbers of women. The programs have exploded and we don’t have enough space.” The last major project in the Carmel Valley area is at Canyon Crest, which is planned to get an additional two-story classroom wing which will grow the enrollment capacity from 1,800 to 2,250. Additional projects are also planned for CCA. The Del Mar Union School District is also considering putting a bond on the November ballot and was scheduled to make its decision at its July 25 board meeting (after presstime for this newspaper). As stated in a previous Del Mar meeting, there was some concern among the SDUHSD board about DMUSD having a competing bond measure. Noah said he shares the board’s concern about the impact a second local school bond measure will have, especially noting that Mira Costa College is expected to have a bond and there will also be two state tax initiatives on the ballot. Noah said anytime that you’re asking voters to support an increase in taxes there’s a possibility they will say “yes” to only a few or possibly “no” to everything. “When a ballot is crowded like that, that’s the thing I’m concerned about,” Noah said. “(Del Mar’s) bond did occur fairly late and it was a bit of a surprise to us.” He said there’s no way of knowing what the effect will be, positive or negative, of having both bonds on the ballot. He remains hopeful that the SDUHSD bond will be successful—a feasibility study showed a 64 percent support rate and 55 percent is needed to pass it. “I’m very, very solid in the belief that this is needed, there’s no question in my mind,” Noah said. “The question is whether it is the right time and will we be able to get the support at the polls we need to pass this.”
FORUM continued from page 1 clude being under the age of 30 and not having a criminal record. Federal officials have stated that the policy change is meant to help DHS focus its resources on criminal threats. The deferred action status will be renewable in twoyear increments, and will allow immigrants to seek work authorization (such as a driver’s license or Social Security number) to hold jobs legally in the United States. Sumontha said the measure is not an executive order, meaning it was not ordered by U.S. President Barack Obama. “Nothing about this will change if Obama is not in power, or a new president is elected,” she said. “This is a memorandum released by DHS, not the president.” Those eligible to apply include those who already have pending deportation proceedings. Under the order, DHS and Immigration and Customs Enforcement
(ICE) have been instructed to use prosecutorial discretion when encountering people who show proof of their status. Sumontha said even though the application is not yet available, those who wish to apply should start gathering necessary documents now. This includes proof of residency, schooling and criminal records. She said it is not yet known exactly what documents the federal application will require. She suggested getting an immigration attorney, and those who can’t afford an attorney can contact organizations that utilize pro bono lawyers. Reputable organizations include the Unitarian Universalist Refugee and Immigrations Services (www. uurise.org), Catholic Charities (www.ccdsd.org), and Casa Cornelia (www.casacornelia. org). She also said to report any scams to the San Diego Immigrant Rights Consortium by calling (760) 239-7959. More information is available at www.immigrantsandiego. org or www.uscis.gov.

continued from page 2 parking and keep people from having to walk several blocks to their destination. The council also expressed a need for a city-wide parking management plan. City Manager Scott Huth pointed out that a 200-space parking structure (or structures) is currently part of the draft Village Specific Plan. Filanc said the plan should include a measure that states once a certain square footage of development is reached, a specified parking requirement must be met as well. “We can’t let development go unchecked without

having an appropriate parking supply,” he said. On Aug. 6, the city will present an executive summary to be incorporated into the plan as part of its adoption hearing. That document is currently being prepared, and both the ballot language and a survey of public opinion are underway. The city has held more than 20 meetings on the preparation of the draft Village Specific Plan, in addition to accepting written public input and hosting information tables for months at the Del Mar Farmers Market. To contact the city as it makes its final changes to the document, email conversations@ delmar.ca.us.

Del Mar Hills students talk with a ranger about local lagoon life.
Del Mar Hills third grade students enjoy Lagoon Days Toward the end of the school year, third grade students from the Del Mar Hills Academy of Arts and Sciences participated in Lagoon Days, where they investigated different aspects of area lagoons. With transportation and materials support made possible by a grant from SDG&E, and coordinated by the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority, third grade students from all over the Del Mar Union School District visited six stations at lagoons; the stations were manned by rangers, volunteers, and representatives of the U.S. Geological Society. While at the lagoons, students conducted water experiments, made native seed balls, observed adaptations of the lagoon flora and fauna, and wrote poetry.

BY CATHERINE KOLONKO A hometown girl who once performed musical theater at Torrey Pines High School returns to San Diego this week to perform her life-inspired songs during an indie showcase concert July 27 at Humphreys Backstage Live. Alisha Zalkin recently released an EP Alisha Zalkin of five new Photo/ Jeffrey Fiterman songs that she co-wrote with friend and songwriter Tina Shafer. The pair met after Zalkin graduated from UCLA and moved to New York City. Shafer runs the New York Songwriters Circle and once penned a song for Celine Dion, Zalkin said. “It really was a dream to work with her…so we worked together and created this new EP that was just released on June 19,” Zalkin said. “You, Beautiful You,” is one of the songs from the EP that Zalkin has performed in several venues, including a benefit at the Bitter End in New York. The soulful upbeat ballad tells the inspirational story of breaking through emotional darkness to discover an inner light, says Zalkin. The 26-year-old sings it with a bold and soulful voice that evokes styles of power vocalists Celine Dion and Whitney Houston whom she has admired since childhood. “‘Beautiful You’ is uplifting but it also came from a dark place of not knowing who I was and not having the courage or the self confidence to do what I was meant to do,” Zalkin said. Zalkin lived for three years in New York where she initially pursued a musical theater career. It wasn’t long before her love of singing and songwriting pulled her in that direction. “I quickly learned that musical theater was not for me,” she said. She recently moved back to California and lives in Los Angeles. Music influenced Zalkin from an early age. She began taking voice lessons at 8 and was exposed to differing musical genres given her upbringing as a child of a Jewish father and Mexican mother. Her Jewish grandmother was an opera singer and the youngest person to be admitted into the Vienna Conservatory of Music, but lost her chance to attend when she fled to the United States to escape Hitler and the Holocaust. “I was exposed to a big voice when I was little,” Zalkin said, explaining that her grandmother sang in Yiddish for benefit shows and family occasions. “I was singing, gosh, ever since I could speak,” said Zalkin, who grew up in Carmel Valley and graduated from Torrey Pines High School. Zalkin’s parents also contributed to her musical taste and introduced her to the works of Carole King, one of her favorite singer-songwriters. She describes her own style as acoustic pop with a little bit of soul. “That’s just the style that naturally came of out of me and came out of the music that we were creating,” Zalkin said.
“March To a Different Beat” is the title of her new EP and also the title of one her favorite songs on it. She wrote the song after a revealing conversation with her father about what it was like for him to grow up in the ‘60s and ‘70s as a child of immigrant parents who survived the Holocaust, Zalkin said. For the first time she learned how her father “struggled with his identity and fitting in,” and rebelled but then ultimately found his way in life. He graduated from law school and became an advocate for child victims of sexual abuse. “I never knew his life story, the difficulties he faced,” Zalkin said. “He had a very interesting life. I walked away from that conversation just incredibly inspired and proud of who he is and who he’s become.” The Mexican culture from her mother’s side also influenced Zalkin’s music appreciation. Mariachi music filled the home of her Mexican grandmother and during bustling family gatherings, everyone paused in religious deference any time Ave Maria played, she said. “I really understood how sacred music was for one thing, but also it was the common thread between the two different cultures,” Zalkin said. The songs she co-wrote with Shafer also reveal Zalkin’s personal struggles to look inward and discover her real self, to learn the life lesson that sometimes the obstacle in your path is you. “I never looked inward and trusted myself…I was too afraid to be who I knew I should be, who I wanted to be,” Zalkin said. “I always performed so I was always looking for validation outside of myself. Once I went inward…I could really understand myself.” A longtime practitioner of yoga, Zalkin decided to learn to teach it. While working for yoga clothing retailer Lululemon she was encouraged to pursue her interest and eventually devoted 500 hours to the study of becoming a Yogi, she said. Her twitter page features a photograph of her sitting in a yoga pose, eyes closed, her long dark hair draped over a flowing blue dress. While her current EP is available on iTunes, Zalkin hopes to one day sign with a music label to expand her audience and believes it will happen when the time is right, she said. She also wants to use her music to raise awareness about social issues. In the song “Say It To My Face” she sings about the injustice of cyber bullying. “I feel it is my job as an artist to speak to those issues and those truths and bring people together to help each other.” The Friday show at Humphreys, dubbed Indie by Design, will be Zalkin’s second performance in her hometown since leaving New York. Earlier this year she played at The Office in North Park. She describes the upcoming event as a treat for people looking for great live music and relief from day-today worries. Sharing billing with other independent artists, she expects to hit the stage soon after the show begins at 9 p.m. “I’m really, really excited,” she said. In addition, to songs from her latest EP, Zalkin says her set may also include a song with rapping that she covers more as spoken word. “Who says Mexican Jewish girls can’t rap” posted Zalkin in a recent post on her Twitter page. Admission for the Humphreys show is $12; www.humphreysbackstagelive.com. Recordings of Zalkin’s music can be accessed on her web site at www.alishazmusic.com.

Former Torrey Pines High School football coach Ed Burke is hosting the senior members of the Ritsumeikan Uji Panthers football team from Kyoto, Japan, and is looking for families that are interested in hosting a player. They will arrive the Friday evening, Aug. 17, and depart early Monday morning, Sept. 3. The team will be attending school and practicing at Torrey Pines during their stay, so most of the transportation needs will be similar to that of students attending Torrey Pines. They will be on campus from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m each school day. You will be asked to provide their meals, including a bagged lunch, during the two weeks that they are attending classes. At times the boys will be attending special events where a meal will be supplied or purchased by the player at no expense to you. A daily stipend of $15 will be provided to help offset your food and gas expenses. This will be the sixth year that the senior members of the Panthers football team have attended Torrey Pines, and every year has been a wonderful opportunity to get to know extraordinary young men from another culture. Many of the former host families have established a lasting friendship with their player that remains active today – a truly special experience. If interested, please contact Ed Burke by phone at (760) 331-7412 or through email at edandloretta@sbcglobal.net.

Patriot Profiles: ‘It’s more than just an arms-to-arms fight over here’ BY JEANNE MCKINNEY This column presents “Patriot Profiles” to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes. When a 19- year-old kid from the Midwest is carrying a rifle through the poppy fields of Afghanistan, a sweet sound is the thumpthump of an attack helicopter approaching. The aircraft is coming to support that Infantryman on the ground, who shoulders immense responsibility for his team, commander and country. The young warrior fights a different fight from what his grandfather fought in conventional wars, when it was one uniform verses the next. Today, an Infantryman is trained to seek out and destroy a lethal enemy that is hard to identify and must also foster cultural survival after that enemy is gone. “It’s more than just an arms-to-arms fight over here”, says Captain Justin Lane Jackson, who’s into his fourth deployment, currently based in Helmand Province. “In the same day that kid is carrying a rifle, he may have to facilitate the growth of the local economy, see that kids are going to school, and make sure a
population that is largely illiterate has the understanding and ability to vote for their elected leaders.” Jackson continues, “To that end the people can know exactly what they’re living for and working towards. We’re asking a generation of Marines and soldiers to do things our grandfathers didn’t have to do. The challenge for us is to adapt and be flexible.” Captain Jackson flies the skies of Afghanistan where dirt can hang in the air as thick as uncertainty. His day-to-day job is to help young Marines return home as heroes, not casualties. He’s a “Whiskey” man, proudly flying an AH-1W Super Cobra or “Whiskey” — the Marine Corps twin blade aircraft that creates a distinct rotor noise. The Cobra has two pilots and the only other space on the helicopter is reserved for ordnance – toting an impressive arsenal of guns, rockets, and missiles. “It’s built for a very narrow purpose – close air support”, states Jackson, who calls himself “eyes in the skies”
for ground troops. “Throughout all my blessed opportunities of education and training – all the money that’s been invested to get me where I’m at today – my sole purpose in my career is to support that 19-year-old kid.” Jackson didn’t wait for destiny – he created it. “I was pretty dead set I wanted to be a Navy pilot. You grow up watching Top Gun and you think how awesome it would be to do something amazing like that.” His stepfather, who had served in the Army during World War II, encouraged him to go to a service academy. It was during his sophomore year at Annapolis when Jackson saw the second twin tower fall. “We entered a year before the world changed, before everything in our country changed. You see the names of Naval Academy graduates etched in stone in Memorial Hall – men who have died in war decades ago. You have a strong sense of patriotism and pride, but you don’t
know them, don’t know their faces and their stories. After Sept. 11, it became very personal.” “A lot of guys I really respected started choosing Marine Corps verses Navy. When I saw the amount of sacrifice they were going through, deep down inside I knew my path was to become a Marine and serve my country in a time of war.” The death of a good friend and other Naval Academy graduates Jackson knew and admired made him bitter and jaded. “I made some bad decisions — got into trouble.” Even though he had turned himself in to his superiors, he was forwarded for separation all the way up to the Commandant of Midshipmen, Colonel Allen — the last say. The Colonel saw something below the surface in this wayward Midshipman. “Even though my offense was egregious, in terms of Naval Academy rules and regulations, he decided to retain me,” remembers Jackson. Now this dutiful pilot goes to work each day for the man who believed in him. Colonel Allen advanced SEE PATRIOT, PAGE 19

Janitorial foreman Leon Davis has helped keep the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club sparkling for more than 40 years •Da vis continues to love his job, wishes season were longer BY KELLEY CARLSON The Del Mar Thoroughbred Club will shine during its diamond anniversary this year, due to the efforts of Leon Davis and his janitorial crew. It was a quick turnaround between the end of the San Diego County Fair and the start of the 75th racing season — quicker than most people realize. Although the fair was over July 5, its crew and equipment were not out until July 9 — only nine days before the racing season started on July 18. Until the 9th, the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club janitorial staff did some preliminary work. “We try to stay out of the fair’s way, but we get our stuff done, too,” said Davis, DMTC’s janitorial foreman. To get an idea of the magnitude of his job, Davis and his crew were responsible for cleaning six floors in the Stretch Run and five floors in the Clubhouse — and that’s just the grandstand. The 74-year-old Davis also had to perform maintenance on other buildings on the grounds and the infield. Then there was everything on the backside, where there are 109 restrooms alone. Among Davis’ and his crew’s specific duties were to shampoo all the carpets; strip and wax the floors; clean the tracks on the elevators; make sure the luxury suites were clean and ready to open, as well as all the mutuel windows on every floor; all the restrooms were cleaned and stocked; orders were placed for items such as paper towels, toilet paper, seat covers, several sizes of trash bags and hand soap — in which the initial
Leon Davis, janitorial foreman for the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. Photo by Kelley Carlson order was expected to total about $36,000; put in 15 copiers and 21 refrigerators throughout the offices and rooms; make sure water was plentiful, as the DMTC goes through about 300 5-gallon bottles of water a week during racing season; and make sure the roofs stayed clean. Two days after the fair ended, 12 members of the janitorial staff were working to get the DMTC in tip-top shape. As the days went on, Davis gradually called in more help and, as of July 17, all 74 employees were back on board, ready for another racing season at the seaside oval.
It’s a labor of love for Davis, who began working as a janitor at the DMTC in 1969. He became a janitorial foreman in 1981, and has been overseeing all crews since 1987. Davis said working for the DMTC is one of the best jobs in the United States — high praise from a man who said he “loved every minute of the eight years, nine months and 33 days” he spent in the Army before that. “I don’t want to say Leon has been here a long, long time, but I think he was the one who showed Bing Crosby where the fairgrounds was back before we opened,” joked Joe Harper, DMTC’s president and CEO. “Really, though,” Harper continued, “Leon is one of our longest-serving and best employees. If we all had Leon’s good attitude and friendly style, the world would be a lot better off. He and his crew are here both early and late, and if it wasn’t for all the good work that they put in, things would get awful shabby awful quick. They keep this place spic and span and allow folks to focus on all its beauty.” During the racing season, Davis — a resident of Rancho Penasquitos — works seven days a week. On Opening Day, he planned to arrive at 3 a.m. and stay until about 9 at night. (Davis was interviewed before Opening Day.) “We want Opening Day to run smoothly and right,” Davis said. “Opening Day is always amazing.” The janitorial foreman and his crew keep up maintenance of all the areas during the 37-day meet, and Davis helps out other staff members as needed.
“I work for every department during the races,” he said. The crew has three scrubbers for the floors, which they go over daily, and they clean up spills as soon as they are made. One of the bizarre occurrences that happens every year that Davis just can’t quite understand — the door always gets pulled open on the sanitary napkin machines in the women’s restrooms. “They only have to spend a quarter!” he said. After racing season ends — which this year is Sept. 5 — the janitorial staff drops down to two — Davis and Jose Cruz, who cleans the executive suites, operations and group sales offices. Davis, who works year-round, will pick up and distribute the mail, and make sure everything is shipped. He also will deliver stages to the Powerhouse Community Center the first Thursday of every month for the Del Mar Foundation’s popular series of lectures and concerts. And it will be just Davis and Cruz until the end of next year’s fair. “I love my job,” said Davis, who added that the DMTC gives him energy. “If you like your job, it helps a lot. “I wish the (racing) season were longer,” he said.

Mental illness is an issue that must be addressed
We at the International Bipolar Foundation mourn the loss of those killed in the tragic shootings Friday, July 20. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims’ families and all those affected. We recognize that this senseless shooting will stimulate many conversations about gun laws, public safety, violence and their association to mental illness. James Holmes, the alleged gunman, opened fire on innocent moviegoers during a midnight screening of the “The Dark Knight Rises” at an Aurora, Colorado theater, leaving 12 people dead and more than 50 wounded. Although his actions clearly demonstrate that Mr. Holmes was grappling with demons, it is too early in the investigation to know if he has a mental illness or not. His actions, however, do beg us to look more closely at our nation’s mental health system. According to Dr. E. Fuller Torrey, M.D., a leading authority on the association of violence and severe mental illness and founder of the Treatment Advocacy Center, “People with mental illnesses who are being treated are not more dangerous than the general population, but evidence has become overwhelming that untreated severe mental illnesses are a significant contributor to violent acts, including homicides and a large percentage of rampage murders.” More than 75 million American adults and 12.8 million children have a mental illness (three times the number of those with
diabetes and 10 times the number of ALL cancers combined). Deep cuts to state spending on services for adults and children with mental illnesses has resulted in significant reductions in hospital and community services. With one in four Americans suffering from a diagnosable mental illness, the impact on society is staggering. Despite the alarming number of people affected with a mental illness, statistics show that only one-third of these individuals seek treatment. According to Dr. Thomas Insel of the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), psychiatry is the only part of medicine where there is actually greater stigma for receiving treatment for these illnesses than for having them. Four of the 10 leading causes of disability worldwide are mental disorders. Why then do we continue to veil it in silence, bringing it out only when tragedies such as this senseless shooting occur? Mental illness is an issue that we as a community and a nation must address. Mental illness affects 1 in 4 with no regard to race, gender, religion or socio-economic status. Get involved – who is your 1 in 4?

Prop 34: Death knell for death penalty in California? I have long been opposed to the death penalty. Capital punishment (such a euphemism!) is cruel, unusual and arbitrary, yet it does not deter violent crime. States with the death penalty have higher murder rates than states without it. And capi- GORDON CLANTON tal punishment falls disproportionately on the poor and people of color. The death penalty is irreversible. If the state executes an innocent person there is no redress — a concern made more acute as DNA evidence exonerates more of the wrongly convicted. The death penalty is enormously expensive, because the mandatory appeals procedures cost more than life imprisonment. California spent $4 billion to administer capital punishment over the past 33 years – more than $300 million per execution. Furthermore, when the state executes criminals, the state models the very behavior it is attempting to prevent. We must stop killing people to demonstrate that killing people is wrong. American support for the death penalty is in sharp contrast with a global trend toward its abolition. A 1980s attempt to bring back the death penalty in Great Britain was decisively defeated. Canada abolished capital punishment in 1976, Australia in 1985. The European Union made the abolition of the death penalty a condition for membership.
ONE VIEW Conversely, consider the nations where the death penalty routinely is employed: Iran, North Korea, Syria, Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, China, Cuba under Castro, Haiti under the Duvaliers, the old Soviet Union, South Africa before the end of apartheid. In a global context, strong support for the death penalty puts the United States in pretty bad company. And within the U.S., the states with the most executions are the states with the most lynchings a century ago. Support for the death penalty in California has dropped after peaking at about 80 percent in the 1980s. But even then, about half would abolish capital punishment if those who commit especially heinous crimes were imprisoned for life with no possibility of parole. A 2009 poll showed that most Californians would support a sentence of life without parole rather than the death penalty for those convicted of murder. If the life sentence was combined with a requirement that the inmate work to make restitution to the family of the victim, only 26 percent of Californians would opt for the death penalty. Proposition 34 on the November ballot proposes exactly that: It abolishes the death penalty, but assure that those who commit the most horrible crimes be imprisoned for life without parole and be required to make restitution.

Evolving Village Specific Plan EMERSON’S CORNER My column last week describing a series of thresholds and triggers is already out BUD of date. EMERSON Some sigDel Mar nificant changes in the downtown revitalization draft were made by the Del Mar City Council just a few days ago. The net effect is less development and more controls in the Village Specific Plan (VSP). •Lowering the amount of new development from 300,000 square feet to 200,000. (Some citizens are proposing to drop even another 100,000 square feet.) •Lowering the threshold point for a reassessment of the plan from every 100,000 square feet to 70,000. •Agreeing to require erection of a new parking structure before any new development begins. •Implementing diversion and calming installations on neighboring streets at the same time that roundabouts and lane narrowing are implemented on CDM.
•Adding a city-wide parking plan to the VSP. These and other changes recommended by the Planning Commission will appear in the next draft scheduled to be reviewed at the City Council retreat on July 30. Then the final draft will be on the Council agenda on Aug. 6, which is the deadline for placing the VSP on the November ballot. If the Council approves the VSP as a ballot measure, no further changes can be made to the plan. Voters in November will decide “Yes” or “No” on this 30-year plan. Another idea being floated is to break the plan into two phases, with the second phase going back to the voters after we have had a chance to experience the portion of new development in the first phase. Some citizens are asking the Council to keep the process open for a few more months, skip the November ballot, consider more suggested changes, give the community more time to digest the changes, and work to build a strong consensus. The idea would be to hold a Del Mar-only special election next spring when nothing else is on the ballot competing for voter attention. A few more months seems like a good investment for getting it right for 30 more years.
To Your Health: Many shades of color blindness BY DR. DAN CODEN, SCRIPPS HEALTH Imagine being unable to tell the difference between a red car and a green one. Or hearing people rave about a “green flash” at sunset and seeing only brown. People who have color blindness may be familiar with these scenarios. Color blindness is the inability to see certain colors the way everybody else sees them. It is caused by a problem with the color-sensing granules, known as pigments, found in the cones in the eye. The cones are nerve cells in the retina, which is the tissue that lines the back of the eye. The retina acts like a camera, converting the images that come through the eye into electric signals and sending them to the brain. Most people have three types of cone cells; each type senses red, green or blue light. The amount of each color your cones sense determine what colors you will “see.” Depending on which cones they may be missing or how the cones are affected, people with color blindness may have difficulty seeing one of the three basic colors; for example, they can see blue and yellow but can’t distinguish between red and green. Others may see all three but be unable to tell the difference between shades of one color, or between similar colors such as light green and gray. Even if they can see many colors, people with color blindness may see them differently than most people. Often, the differences are so subtle that they may not even know they have the condition. This type of color blindness is usually inherited and is much more common in men than women; about one in 10 men have some difficulty seeing color. In some cases, color See HEALTH, page 19

MARIJUANA continued from page 1 these are our only options,” said Councilman Mark Filanc. Attorney Bob Mahlowitz, who has handled numerous actions enforcing medical marijuana dispensary regulations, conducted the report ordered by city officials and presented his findings at the meeting. Due to the small timeline dictated by the elections code, the council and public were not able to review the report before giving their responses. In the report, Mahlowitz said the initiative was misrepresented to citizens by claiming California courts upheld the legality of compassionate use dispensaries under state law in two cases in 2009 and 2005. He said that in the 2009 case, People v. Mentch, the California Supreme Court ruled that dispensaries should be purely educational operations that teach the public how to cultivate medical marijuana. “Those cases do not say that and they can not say that,” he said. “The people may have signed [the initiative] believing they were signing in support of some-
PATRIOT continued from page 10 to General Allen, the top leader of all forces in Afghanistan. “When I see him in the news, I can’t help but remember him sitting me down and setting me straight — like a scolded son — giving me the chance to make right.” Jackson has spent twoand-a-half years (to date) serving fellow Marines engaged in the daily fight. “The Marines working the Afghan soil out here definitely appreciate us being overhead. For any hellfire missile, rocket or any other piece of ordnance I’ve employed, what worries the enemy the most and motivates the Marines the most is the sound of our helicopters approaching.” Over multiple deployments, Capt. Jackson has seen many sides to the “War on Terror,” noting progress he labels “night and day.” “When I deployed to Iraq in 2008, I didn’t truly appreciate where I was operating at, because it was so quiet. In 2004-05, Al Anbar Province was the worst place in Iraq – extremely violent.” The missions accomplished in Al Anbar and other hotbeds like Fallujah and Ramadi will live on as “remarkable” in Marine Corps history. “In 2009, we were dealing with heavy losses in the
July 26, 2012 thing that is legal and that’s not the case.” He also said the initiative was misrepresentative in saying that those who would comply with the proposed ordinance would not be subject to arrest or prosecution and law enforcement shall not seize any marijuana or plants from citizens of Del Mar. “The use of marijuana for all purposes remains illegal and people are subject to arrest and prosecution no matter the reason why they are doing it,” he said. “No city can change those laws.” He further said that the proposed ordinance is flawed in that it doesn’t require record-keeping, reporting or testing, and it also doesn’t include a provision that deals with permit expiration or renewal, therefore making the permits permanent. He said the ordinance is “fundamentally poorly crafted by people who have clearly not engaged in governmental work or crafting ordinances or pieces of law.” The proposed compassionate use dispensary ordinance would impose a 2.5 percent sales tax on medical marijuana to benefit the city’s general fund. It also says dispensaries would be
regulated by the city’s planning department. Mahlowitz said that under state law cities can only impose sales taxes of up to 1 percent and they must tax all goods uniformly. This ordinance would therefore be in violation of the law because it would place a higher tax on marijuana, putting the city at risk of Board of Equalization ceasing to collect sales tax in the city. This translates to a loss of $1.4 million to $1.6 million annually, or 13 percent of the city’s general fund. Petitioners collected more than 500 signatures in Del Mar, when they only needed about 300 (10 percent of the population), making it the first city in the county to qualify the initiative. Proponents of the ordinance expressed concern that Mahlowitz was a biased analyst of the proposed legislation. According to the website of his firm, Stutz Artiano Shinoff & Holtz, Mahlowitz has served for the past two years as lead counsel for the City of Del Mar in issues relating the California Environmental Equality Act. He has also been responsible for providing comments regarding the 2010 master plan of the
fight for Garmsir, Marjah and Sanguin in Afghanistan,” relates Jackson. There’s a different discussion today, due to the efforts of the Marines in concert with their British brothers and now-partnered Afghanistan International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). “It’s amazing to come in 2009 and now in 2012 and see the growth and change of everything in Helmand Province, where the Taliban once had a tight grip.” “In those same venues, I’m flying around making sure kids are going to school. You see thriving economies, green grass in soccer stadiums. There are still missions ahead, but the headlines aren’t the same.” More than headlines are changing. Exciting upgrades are coming for the Cobra at-
tack aircraft. The AH-1Z Zulu will have new avionics, four blades, and more room for ordnance, but Captain Justin Lane Jackson is comfortable flying his old “Whiskey” friend. He doesn’t dwell on the risks of epic sandstorms, weeks of wind, flying an aircraft that doesn’t glide or is minus an ejection seat. He’s focuses on techniques, tactics, and procedures that mitigate hostile threats. The Captain’s too busy looking for those Marine uniforms slogging through the poppy fields, as he thump-thumps towards them, putting the enemy on the run. The sweetest sound for Jackson is a voice from below on the radio saying, “Thank-you for showing up – you saved the day.”

22nd Agricultural District. A number of citizens and parents spoke in opposition to the ordinance, expressing concerns of youth marijuana use and public safety. Proponents are confident that Del Mar voters will support the initiative in November because Del Mar had the single highest voting record in the county in favor of Proposition 19 in 2010, which would have legalized recreational marijuana. James Schmatchtenberger, president of the Patient Care Association, said state law is clear in allowing for retail sales of cannabis and the city should act accordingly.
HEALTH continued from page 18 blindness is caused by other factors not related to genetics, including aging, injuries to the eye, and eye problems such as cataracts or glaucoma. Some medications may also cause color blindness. In rare cases, people see no color at all — only black, white, and gray. This is known as achromatopsia and may be associated with
other conditions such as severe light sensitivity and very poor vision. An ophthalmologist or optometrist can diagnose color blindness through several tests that measure your ability to recognize and distinguish between different colors. One such test determines how well you can see a pattern, such as a letter, number or shape, against a background of multi-colored dots. Depending on which patterns you can or cannot see, your doctor can diagnose your color perception abilities. Another test may ask you to arrange colored chips in similar groups. It is important to diagnose color blindness as early as possible, since the inability to see some colors can interfere with activities such as driving, shopping or reading a computer screen. Certain careers that require acute color vision, such as a graphic designer, may not be options for people with color blindness. Children, especially, may have difficulty in school if their teachers are not aware of the problem; for instance, they may
PAGE 19
not be able to see certain shades of chalk or marker, or have trouble identifying colors. A professional vision screening is recommended for all children before entering school, ideally between the ages of 3 and 4. Color blindness that is caused by medications or eye problems such as cataracts may be treatable in some cases; there is no treatment available for inherited color blindness. However, glasses that block glare often help color-blind people distinguish colors better, and colored contact lenses may help in some cases. Most people are easily able to compensate by using other visual cues such as where an object is located or what colors surround it.

Coastal Clash Field Hockey Summer Training Camp a success Coastal Clash Field Hockey held their first annual Summer Training Camp from June 18-21. It was a great success with 25 campers in attendance and 10 volunteer coaches from the 2012 Coastal Clash Field Hockey Team. Kelsey Burgett, a Girl Scout from troop 1129, organized and directed the camp for her Girl Scout Gold Award project with the help of her project advisor Analia Carlsson. Gina Nawab, varsity field hockey coach at Torrey Pines High School, and Analia Carlsson, varsity field hockey coach at Canyon Crest Academy, both attended the camp to oversee and teach campers higher level skills. The first three days focused on lessons and drills, in which the girls learned valuable

San Diego Breakers are winners at Cooperstown The San Diego Breakers were undefeated champions last week in Cooperstown, New York. The Breakers — a group of 11 and 12-year-old baseball buddies from Carmel Valley and Del Mar — were formed for a purpose: To compete at Cooperstown Baseball World, a highly regarded tournament attracting top teams from all over the country; even the world. Cooperstown is the “birthplace of baseball.” It is also home to the National Baseball Hall of Fame and is the ideal setting in which to hold youth tournaments. Players at Cooperstown get the unique opportunity to live, eat, and play on a college campus. They experience dormitory living with a single focus – playing baseball. The story begins like this. One year ago on a field in Del Mar, a group of parents share special memories of their sons playing baseball together. Stories from T-Ball to Majors entertain the group. Many reveal how baseball has touched their lives. Yet, for some, a feeling of melancholy takes hold because their final year of Little League is fast approaching. Then a dad pitches an idea that catches on. He says, “Would you ever consider putting a team together to play at Cooperstown?” Before long, the idea turns into an action plan complete with team sponsors from Miller’s Field, Sammy’s, Jersey Mike’s, and Ivan Boesky. According to Manager Todd Glick, “Taking these boys to Cooperstown was like a dream come true. But this dream was never about winning the championship… It was about giving our boys an experience of a lifetime.” Glick said he knew exactly which coaches would help him make this happen. From Del Mar Little League he chose Sam Evans, Roger Bingham, and Rick Braun. Glick said these coaches shared his same philosophy on what it means to be a winner. “We knew we needed to work on our baseball skills,” said Glick. “But we also wanted to concentrate on character qualities like integrity, teamwork, respect, humility, discipline, and sportsmanship.” The late sportscaster Heywood Hale Broun once said, “Sports do not build character; they reveal it.” The Breakers Coaches agree. “Winning the Cooperstown Tournament was truly remarkable,” they said. “But the highlight of the week was when we won the respect of the other teams competing in the tournament.” What the coaches are describing is the event that took place in the dorm cafeteria following the semi-final game. The Breakers had just beaten out the team favored to win the whole tournament. A few players on this opposing team were lacking character, to say the least. All the teams knew it. Glick said, “When our team walked into the cafeteria that evening, the entire room started clapping. It was truly inspiring because our boys were honored for being ‘great kids’ … both on and off the baseball field.” The story ends as a large crowd gathers to watch the final game of the series. The Breakers are taking on Thunder for the championship title. Players from competing teams overwhelmingly cheer for a Breakers victory. After the last ball is thrown, the umpire turns to the coaches from San Diego and says, “You know, it should tell you something when the competition comes to your game and cheers for you to win.” The San Diego Breakers were winners at Cooperstown; even better, these “young men” from Carmel Valley and Del Mar personified the character traits of a winner. Mission accomplished. skills, such as dribbling, passing and positioning, along with gameplay scenarios and ball control. On the final day, campers and coaches played together in a mini-tournament sponsored by STX, followed by an awards ceremony in which Coach Carlsson and Coach Nawab announced their intentions to continue holding the camp annually. The coaches were all extremely impressed by the level of improvement they saw in the campers and look forward to seeing them on the field.

In the heat of summer, Torrey Pines High’s football team prepares for fall BY ROB LEDONNE Summer vacation is a time for many high school students to hit the beach, make some extra money and, above all, relax. For the members of the Torrey Pines High School football program, however, summer is mostly about gearing up for fall. Like warriors getting battle-ready, teammates prepare themselves both physically and mentally all summer long for an autumn full of games that capture the school’s and community’s attention. On this particular Tuesday, it’s 9 a.m. sharp when the members of the team arrive at the gym on the otherwise quiet campus of Torrey Pines High School. Before anyone has a chance to think, Coach Scott Ashby, a 20-year veteran of the football program at TPHS, is going through the day’s training routine and the teenagers are doing a variety of circuit workouts, whether it’s inside with weights or outside on the field. “We’re very fortunate to be part of a school where kids want to work hard, and we’re very proud of that,” Ashby explains later at his office a few feet away from the gym. That work ethic could stem from the fact that football at Torrey Pines has a long and storied history. Having churned out numerous players for the National Football League, its record is distinguished in Southern California. When Ashby first joined the football program as assistant coach (under the now-legendary Ed Burke who retired in 2007), the school won its first league title, then went on to reign supreme over El Camino for the CIF Division II title. Since then, numerous championships have followed. Now it’s all about preserving that legacy which includes buckling down during the summer, and Coach Ashby and his team wouldn’t have it any other way. “As a high school football coach, not to sound trite, but you have to be all in; this is what you do. This kids want to come out and perform (to the best of their ability),” Ashby said. “I know Torrey Pines has a good history and I wanted to be part of something big,” explained Jack Condon, a senior who has been part of the team for the past four years.
“This is what it takes. It’s a lot to handle but you’re not here all day; I love coming here and lifting. Sometimes it gets tough, but I look forward to it. It’s fun.” Condon also spoke about combating a perception that most football players just simply hop on the field in the fall. “In terms of intensity, it’s pretty consistent throughout the entire year. Even during the season we have to prepare for new teams.” Coach Ashby, who says he doesn’t get tired mentally of the demands and pressure of the job, explained he “absolutely gets physically tired. Everything from training, to planning to practices, to scouting takes a bit of time. Then, during the season, it becomes a seven-day a week job. Winter break is really the first time you’re able to really relax.” Roland Wheeler, an incoming sophomore who plays junior varsity, points out the key factor that enables many want to work as hard as they do: “I feel like our team is a family. We really know each other and spend a lot of time together. We’re certainly pretty close.” Coach Ashby agrees with that sentiment: “Teaching and coaching is a very rewarding profession. Players come to you with all kinds of different issues. In my years as a teacher and coach, I think I’ve been involved with trying to help in every kind of situation.” The camaraderie of the football program is apparent in the weight room during the morning training session; teammates cheer each other on while trying to reach new lifting goals and pushing themselves a little harder, and all the while Coach Ashby is right there with simultaneous stern and positive encouragement. “This has all made me a lot more mature about everything. I manage my time better, I manage my grades better,” explained senior Andrew Maneval, concerning the impact that summer training and the football program in general has on his life. “I never know what to do with myself when the entire season finally wraps up. I find myself just sitting in the team room.” Despite a two-week, no-contact period, (implemented so as not to overwork the players and give them at least a

Photos/Rob LeDonne little chunk of vacation time), both the varsity and junior varsity teams prepare pretty much the entire summer. Throughout August, the full team will meet every day of the week besides Sunday, doing everything from working out, to on-field practices, to scrimmages towards the end of the month. It all leads up to their first official game on Aug. 31 versus San Pasqual. For Coach Ashby and the team, all of the hard work becomes worthwhile when hitting the field in the fall. “The beauty of coaching is that you get to be part of people’s lives, and become totally invested in their accomplishments.” For more on Torrey Pines football, check out the web: www.tphsfootball.com/

A net gain: Transition from tennis to volleyball pays off for CCA’s Lappe BY GIDEON RUBIN Caroline Lappe was a budding tennis star who’d already established her credentials on the club circuit before she even started high school. But the next time you see her on a tennis court, she’ll be playing for fun. The soon-to-be Canyon Crest Academy sophomore opted out of tennis while she was in middle school. She Caroline Lappe is now focusing on volleyball, and has proven herself to be a quick study. Lappe attended middle school at Francis Parker when she decided to forgo the individual-oriented game of tennis for a sport that she believed would foster more camaraderie. “I just thought it would be a lot more fun to have a team instead of playing individually,” Lappe said of her decision to switch to volleyball. The early returns suggest she made a smart choice. Lappe surprised everyone, including herself, last year making the varsity as a freshman. She projects to be a starter on a team that’s emerged as one of the area’s most consistent programs. The Ravens have won three straight Valley League championships and are two years removed from their best season, when they were San Diego Section Division III and Southern California regional runners up. This year will be their inaugural entry into the intensely
competitive Palomar League, which includes schools with larger enrollment. Lappe, who plays opposite (or right side), acknowledged that making the varsity as a freshman was a surprise. She said she’s thankful to coaches who took a chance on her. CCA coach Ariel Haas and his coaching staff are glad they took the risk. “She’s still new to the game but tennis translates really well to volleyball,” CCA coach Ariel Haas said. “She’s picked (volleyball) up really quickly and has improved significantly. She didn’t play much in the beginning, but as the season went on she played more and more.” Lappe figures to take on a much bigger role in the coming years. She’s 6-foot, hits left-handed (an advantage hitting against players who are accustomed to seeing mostly righties) and is an excellent athlete. Haas said Lappe projects to be a Division I college prospect, but acknowledged her inexperience makes it difficult to assess her upside. “She’s a ‘potential’ kid,” Haas said. “I don’t know how high her upside is because she’s still new to the game, but she’s picked it up quite quickly and she’s developed really fast.” But her skill-set, combined with her aptitude and attitude, figure to intrigue college coaches, Haas said. “She’s athletic, she’s tall and she’s quite driven,” Haas said. Her progression on the club circuit has been impressive. Lappe went from playing on the club Coast Volleyball No. 2 team last year to making the Wave Volleyball’s elite No. 1 team that went on to compete in the junior nationals this summer. The Wave team finished 29th in the nation. The transition from tennis to volleyball itself wasn’t easy, and Haas acknowledged that CCA coaches forced the issue a bit putting Lappe on the varsity, where a more advanced game is faster, and where she faced opponents who were bigger, more athletic, and more experienced.
No Dental Insurance?
“She was in over her head last year with the speed of the game,” Haas said. “She was forced to learn very quickly in practices and in games to keep up and she did. She’s very determined to be a great player. She’s constantly asking questions. She’s very coachable as she’s a good listener.” Lappe acknowledged that although the game of tennis is played as an individual, there was a team aspect to playing in tournaments where she established a sense of camaraderie with teammates. But she said it’s not the same as being involved in a sport that involves the precise orchestration of players who count on each other to know and accept their assigned roles. “They’re basically your family,” she said of her experience playing on high school and club volleyball teams. “(Teammates) are there for you when you have problems in volleyball and just in general. It’s really nice to have someone to talk to and get good advice.” The hardest part of the transition, however, is adjusting from a game in which mistakes and unforced errors don’t hurt anybody but yourself to the pressure of making mistakes that can impact everyone on your entire team. “That was definitely the hardest adjustment, taking the blame and fixing the mistakes so I don’t let the team down,” Lappe said. Lappe admits the decision was not an easy one. She’d already invested a lot of time developing her tennis skills, and her family had invested a lot of money on instructors. She said it wasn’t easy telling her father about her decision to change sports, but she said he was fully supportive of her. And Lappe has no regrets. “I just found volleyball to be a much more enjoyable experience,” she said. “It’s worked out a lot better than I expected. I came in really timid and nervous but everyone’s been super supportive and that’s made it a lot easier for me.”

Attorney’s devotion to the environment stronger than ever Jan Chatten-Brown is the founding partner of the environmental law firm Chatten-Brown & Carstens. The firm represents environmental and community groups, as well as governmental agencies, seeking to enforce environmental laws, including the California Environmental Quality Act and the National Environmental Policy Act, General Plans, and other land-use laws. Before entering private practice, Chatten-Brown worked in various governmental law offices for 21 years, inJan cluding the California Attorney General’s Chatten-Brown Office and the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office. She has twice been named as one of the top 100 women litigators in California. In addition to her law practice, Chatten-Brown has served on numerous environmental boards. She was president of the Coalition for Clean Air for many years, and more recently president of the Sierra Nevada Alliance. She serves as a vice president of the Planning & Conservation League in Sacramento. She has taught environmental and land-use law at UCLA and USC. Who or what inspires you? I am inspired by people of passion who work to better their communities or all humanity, and especially by those with the foresight to understand how precious and fragile our environment is, and how critical it is to the quality of our lives. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, who (living or deceased) would you invite? John Muir and Teddy Roosevelt for creating National Parks, America’s best idea; Amory Lovins for articulating why it is economically smart, as well as the right thing to do, to reduce greenhouse gases; Hillary Clinton for her persistence in seeking conflict resolution and advocacy for reducing deadly soot in the daily lives of the poor worldwide; Jane Goodall for inspiring an understanding of the relationship among species; Aung San Sui Kyi for her incredible advocacy and her courage; Einstein, not just for his brilliance, but also for his understanding of the role of humans in the cosmos; and Michelangelo, for his extraordinary creative powers. Tell us about what you are reading. “A Passion for Nature: a Biography of John Muir,” the title tells it all, except it does not tell in detail the sad story of the damming of the Hetch Hetchy, destroying the twin valley to Yosemite Valley. What would be your dream vacation? We have twice been fortunate enough to go to Africa, and I very much want to go back. When we came back the first time, I told a friend how moving it was — not just the animals, but also the people. He conjectured that we must be hardwired, since Africa is the cradle of modern man. What are your favorite movies of all time? I must admit that I may never tire of seeing “Gone with the Wind. “ It does seem the classics are generally better than recent Hollywood films. “The African Queen” is one of my favorites. Of course, I adored “Out of Africa,” too. “Gandhi,” with a perfect performance by Ben Kingsley, tells the story of one of the men that I most respect. “Amadeus” was so much fun, and yet so tragic. What is your most-prized possession? My most-prized possession is time spent with our sons, their two wives, and our four beautiful grandchildren. What is your philosophy of life? Personally, I feel an obligation to try to leave this beautiful Earth a better place, and I hope everyone shares this goal.

Tarbuton, Israeli Cultural Center offers a variety of programs for children and adults BY KATHY DAY Connecting children with the Hebrew language and their Israeli heritage became such a passion for Del Mar resident Jennie Starr that she turned her drive into the Tarbuton Israeli Cultural Center in Carmel Valley. Nearly eight years ago the mother of two decided she wanted her children to learn Hebrew proficiently, but there were no programs in San Diego to come to her aid. Today there is one that offers not just language classes for children and adults, but cultural programs such as dancing and singing, Hebrew story time, speakers, a movie club and a book club. “Even though my father was Israeli, he did not speak Hebrew at home,” said Starr, who grew up in Chicago. While her dad was born in Israel, her mother was an American who did not speak Hebrew and neither did Starr. When her grandmother would visit, she added, “I had no clue what they were talking about. I was not connected to these people ... ” Starr compared the experience to going to Italy “where you love the food and love the sites” but don’t understand the conversations around you. When her first child was born, she said, she had a similar experience all over again. Her American husband was fluent in Hebrew and spoke the language to their daughter. In an effort to increase her own skills, she said she decided to read Hebrew translations of books like Dr. Seuss with her child for an hour a day. “I struggled ... I could read the words but I didn’t understand them,” she said. So she tried to learn by being around other Hebrew speakers.
Dance is one of the many programs offered at the Tarbuton, Israeli Cultural Center. “When I heard someone speaking Hebrew, I would ask for their phone numbers,” she added. Then she started a Hebrew-speaking play group – which is now part of the Tarbuton program — and established her own culturalsocial network. Even then she only understood about 30 percent of what was being said and would have to call friends to ask what was said. Knowing that her children had no option to become proficient at Hebrew at home, Starr built on her own experience as an attorney and entrepreneur as a software product manager to start the Tarbuton. Much like San Diego’s Italian Cultural Center and the Persian Cultural Center, Tarbuton focuses on immersing the students in language and culture. Working with Maya Cohen, a child development specialist who was born in Israel and attended university there, they started with just a few children in one class. Now the Tarbuton has 200 to 300 people who participate weekly or monthly in its programs. Offerings include classes at the Ken Jewish Community Center on the San
Diego Jewish Academy campus in Carmel Valley each Sunday and Monday evening, as well as after-school programs in the Del Mar and Solana Beach school districts. They also offer classes in which high school students can earn foreign language credits at their schools and are considering offerings in Encinitas, Carlsbad and La Jolla/Golden Triangle or Poway (all areas where people also come from to participate in the center’s programs). Tarbuton also recently announced the addition of Iris Noiman to the Tarbuton staff. Noiman will launch the Tarbuton Middle School Program guiding 6th-8th grade students in their critical year to two years around their bar/bat mitzvah age. For adults, there are book and film groups and even a weekly coffee meeting, “Café v’Ivrit,” where people can practice their Hebrew and socialize. They also plan special speakers, plays and Jewish holiday celebrations for families. Some classes are taught completely in Hebrew, while some students take certain classes in English, Starr noted. Iris Pearlman, a mother of four children ages 8 to 16 who have been taking class-

es at Tarbuton for two years, said, “The connection the kids have made, the feeling that you get, it’s hard to understand.” She said the Tarbuton provides a cultural experience that you can’t get elsewhere. “It is difficult to do even if you go to synagogue,” she said. “It is a different way of living and speaking and behaving. It has nuances you don’t get otherwise.” Starr and Pearlman, whose parents are both Israeli, each said that the Hebrew the children learn in religious schools is different because that is Hebrew for prayers. Cohen, Tarbuton’s training and curriculum coordinator, got involved with Starr early on when Starr’s children attended the preschool where Cohen is a full-time teacher. Her work with Tarbuton is part-time. “She wanted to bring the language alive through poetry, literature and music, but there wasn’t anything for kids,” Cohen said. Today, she said, they take field trips where they speak Hebrew throughout the trip and take dance lessons and sing. In one class, where they were discussing Earth Day, the students were asked, “What do we wish for the world?” It was particularly exciting, Cohen said, to hear the high-level discussions and read the written answers all in Hebrew.” “Visitors can see the rhythm of the classes,” she said. “It is high energy, super creative – it’s like a force.” All of the teachers are “the best” and have bachelor’s degrees and curriculum development experience “so they understand the critical pieces of learning,” Starr said.

Let’s Go Home Decor & Gifts brings unique style to new shop at Del Mar Highlands Town Center BY KAREN BILLING Let’s Go Home Decor & Gifts is bringing a funky new element to the Del Mar Highlands Town Center. The store, sandwiched in between Brazilia Skin Care and Pretty Please, specializes in unique and exotic home furnishings from around the world. The shop features reclaimed wood tables filled with items such as ceramic animals from South Africa. Dangling chandeliers are made from materials like vintage teacups, green glass telegraph lights and door plates from a company in South Carolina. “I’m very colorful,” said owner Brenda Lurie. “I’m kind of eclectic, not run of the mill. I like things that grab my attention.” Lurie’s store opened on June 22 and the response so far has been positive. “People walk in here and this is like a rustic garden from another time,” Lurie said. “It has such a nice feel.” Lurie is originally from South Africa and has lived in the U.S. since 1985. She currently lives in Solana Beach. The store is decorated by floral displays from Flowers On 56, owned by fellow South Brenda Lurie owns Let’s Go Home, which African Adele Maroun. Maroun’s orchids and recently opened in Del Mar Highlands unique arrangements spring out of vases and Town Center. Photo/Karen Billing succulents are displayed in vintage coffee cans — all for sale. Maroun’s arrangements not only bring life and sweet smells to the store, but it is the hope that customers will also be able to order flowers out of Let’s Go. Lurie had previously been in La Jolla for 27 years as Let’s Go, a clothing and shoe store. She picked Del Mar Highlands Town Center for her latest venture, hoping to tap into a different clientele. “La Jolla fizzled out,” Lurie said. “All the younger people who used to shop at my store moved to North County and started families. This was a good location for what I wanted to do.” Lurie will carry a few select clothing items from lines such as Cousteau and Free People, but the shop’s focus will mainly be on home furnishings and decor, as well as gifts. “We have lots of gifts… I look around for every item, everything I get is different,” Lurie said of her unique items such as colorful, painted wine glasses with curvy stems from Britto or Carrol Boyse pewter pitchers, and chip and dip servers. She also carries a gift-friendly lotion line, Persian rugs and pillows with sayings on them like “PS I love you” and “Sleeps with Dogs,” which sold out promptly, Lurie said. She is especially excited for some sculptures and jewelry to come in from Mexican artist Sergio Bustamante. “It’s funky, different, beautiful, amazing,” Lurie said, summing up everything she hopes Let’s Go Home will be too. Let’s Go Home is open Monday through Saturday, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday, 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. For more information, call (858) 345-5356.

She said helping patients reach their goals starts with a key step that has become missing in many medical practices, where patients are rushed through appointments and sometimes diagnoses are missed. “We spend an hour to an hour-and-a-half with patients which is almost unheard of,” Grace said. “We always said if we ever have to do anything that makes us spend less time with the patients then we’ll just do something else.” Grace has been in San Diego since doing her residency and working at Sharp and Children’s Hospital before starting her sports medicine practice in 1985. She has been a sports nut for life. “I grew up with four brothers and played every sport imaginable,” Grace said. She played college tennis during her undergraduate studies at Kent State (she attended Ohio State for her physical therapy degree) and she currently plays on a national golf amateur circuit. She moved to Rancho Santa Fe primarily for the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club golf course —“I think it’s the best golf course in San Diego County,” she says — and on that course she has been a club champion for nearly 10 years. Grace still works as an orthopedic physician assistant at Scripps La Jolla, which she finds to be great for the practice as she can sometimes see patients before, during and after surgeries, having a complete and thorough understanding of them. Fonte also came from a heavy sports background, also growing up with brothers playing sports and “throwing pitchforks at each other” in rural Colorado. She played volleyball, basketball and ran track, and won a basketball scholarship to Friends University in Kansas. Fonte spent several years working for the founders of Residence Inn before going back to school to get her MBA from Harvard Business School. “My goal was to go to the top school in the world,” Fonte said, who boldly only applied to Harvard and was one of the “chosen ones” to make it in and survive.

Crispy-fried Bang Bang Shrimp is tossed in a spicy aioli sauce.
BY KELLEY CARLSON hile Woody’s is an established name in Newport Beach, it’s new on the scene in Solana Beach. The local restaurant is more upscale than its counterpart to the north, which often draws people straight from the shore, according to manager Rosie Zacharias. Yet it’s still laid-back and family-friendly. A couple on a date may relax in large, cushioned chairs in the wine lounge and sip on a selection from a bottle stored nearby in a floor-to-ceiling rack. The happy hour crowd — many of whom are regulars — can perch on stools in the elevated back bar and watch the restaurant activity or catch the latest sporting event on TV. A family may opt for the spacious center booth in the main dining room, which features wood floors; beach-inspired hues of blue, silver and beige; and walls with the Woody’s whale mascot and ocean-wave patterns. Out on the tiny, heated patio (where dogs are permitted) a group of four can gather around a table covered by a navy-blue umbrella and observe the action along Highway 101. Naturally, weekend nights are busiest at Woody’s Solana Beach. But happy hour is also a big draw, according to Zacharias, with popular half-priced appetizers such as the crispy-fried Bang Bang Shrimp tossed with a spicy aioli sauce, Ahi Sashimi with wasabi and pickled ginger, Filet Mignon Kebabs in a light teriyaki sauce, and Spicy Mussels served with bread to soak up the juices. “Our food is amazing — that’s what brings us to the upscale side of things,” Zacharias said. It’s primarily prepared by Chef Eddie Zamaripa, whom Zacharias described as “open-minded.” “He will go out of his way to make everyone’s experience enjoyable,” she added. Among the entrees he regularly prepares is Caribbean Sea Bass in a rum sauce; the macadamia nut-covered Halibut with papaya salsa; Asian Grilled Salmon with fresh lime juice, garlic and ginger soy sauce; Seared Ahi with a ginger shiitake soy sauce; Herb Marinated Rack of Lamb served with mint pesto; and Lobster Risotto mixed with asparagus, mushrooms and peppers New specials are introduced every two weeks, and every day has a theme.

Motherhood inspiration behind Del Mar resident’s growing clothing line BY CLAIRE HARLIN “Peace, love, trust — mom.” That’s not only the first T-shirt slogan that propelled Del Mar resident Joy Conley’s Bleu Temple clothing line into success, but it’s the premise behind the company. “It’s all about the importance of being a mom and empowering moms,” said Conley, a 46-year-old mother of two who was inspired to slap that slogan on a shirt while dealing with the emotional stress and custody issues surrounding a recent divorce. “In a divorce you think about what could be taken from you and what could change. What made me press forward was knowing I could give my kids something to look up to and be a role model even though I was changing the structure of their lives. When moms see the shirts, it makes them feel stronger and feel good about what they are doing.” Her T-shirts became a hot item two years ago in local stores such as Ooh La La, Maddie D, Fairen Del and Bella Moda. So, Conley expanded on the idea, incorporating original artwork, poems, mantras and the latest trends to create an entire line of clothing. She sought out a factory that uses organic, U.S.-made materials in Los Angeles, and assigned the name Bleu Temple, based on her favorite color and the “temple of peace” she hopes the clothing will promote in women’s lives. In only two and a half years, the company has grown its collection to more than 75 pieces of art, all drawn by Conley, on a number of jackets, tanks, tees, pants and more. It’s not only about moms anymore, but uses words and imagery to pro-
mote inspiring ideas that any woman young or old can relate to, Conley said. Her clothing has been picked up by more than 60 stores in the U.S., as well as in Russia and South America. Several museums, including the botanical gardens in Chicago, Brooklyn and the New York City Museum of Natural History, carry her shirts as well. “The line started out as an emotional type thing for me,” said Conley. “It’s now come to be about what’s important in society, not just to moms — what’s important to people.” In addition to her original slogan, one of her most popular designs reads “Three things you can’t hide from: The sun, the moon, and the truth.” Conley’s artwork is very detailed and, being self taught, she said it has improved over the last couple of years. She doesn’t have a professional background in art — she actually worked at the Pentagon for more than a decade doing Middle Eastern intelligence work. “I’d like to say I came out of a famous art school, but I didn’t,” she said. “I just draw what I can draw and that’s how it works.” Bleu Temple’s offices are situated in the Del Mar Horse Park, where her husband works with sport horses as a professional jumper/hunter.

New Del Mar art and skincare shop a family effort BY CLAIRE HARLIN There’s a new shop in the Del Mar Plaza that offers original artwork and homemade beauty and wellness products, and it’s about as homegrown as it can possibly be. Everything sold in Janecka, which opened on July 16, is handmade by the children of owner Elizabeth Janecka, save for a wall of hats and scarfs that she made herself. Her daughter, “B,” who is 33, and son Wesley, 31, are the masterminds behind the pottery, soaps, candles, balms, makeup and more sold at the shop, and after 10 successful years in business in Jemez Springs, New Mexico, the two art school grads have perfected and diversified their craft. The store actually began as an art gallery started on a scenic byway in Jemez Springs by the brother-sister duo after they graduated from the University of Texas at Austin. Elizabeth Janecka began incorporating wellness products after being inspired personally by the positive effects of a balm she made from essential oils and natural ingredients. “I used to suffer from eczema on my hands,” Janecka said. “I used to actually have to glue the cracks on my hands shut with wound glue, which would work until it peeled off, making the cracks even bigger.” Janecka’s daughter had given her a book about soap-making and, with that information, Janecka devised a hand balm that became the first product to fight the eczema symptoms she had for years put up with. “It didn’t cure it; Eczema isn’t curable. But it stopped the symptoms so I could carry on and do work and dishes and everything,” she said. “All the cracks and all the itching and scaling went away.” Janecka began selling the balm at her kids’ gallery, and demand for the product grew, prompting her to delve into other ointments and skin care products. Not only Janecka, but also her customers, were becoming loyal fans of the essential oils used in her all-natural products. “I once read something that said Mother Earth put everything on this Earth for us to survive, and it’s true; Everything we need is here,” she said. Janecka also got the idea to take the same color-mixing concept that Wesley utilizes with his pottery and apply that to make-up. She started buying natural minerals like zinc and titanium and adding tints (in an oxidization process) to make mineral makeup. “I gave him the color palette that I want and he mixed different colors of oxides,” she said. “That’s how you do it. It took a long time but we did it.” Janecka said some of her most popular items include a muscle and joint rub, insect repellent sticks and sunscreen. She said most of her products originated to fulfill a personal need or to help someone she knows. For example, the joint rub came to be when her son dropped a brick on his elbow and needed something to help with the pain. “He said, ‘Make me something soothing,’ and I did my research and this is what I came up with,” said Janecka. “It’s really popular with people that have chronic arthritis;

It’s our No. 1 reorder item online.” Janecka said her customers tell her they trust her products because they know where they come from. “They also trust the fact that we use it ourselves,” she said. “People come in and ask ‘How many of these products do you use?’ and I say, ‘All of them.’” Wesley and B have different and complementary specialties, said Janecka. B makes the jewelry pieces, for example, and Wesley does wood work, including the shelving and cashier counter in the store. The tile tables sold in the shop are particularly special because they are a group effort of the two, Janecka said. B makes the tiles, and Wesley makes the wooden legs. “They are multi-task artists,” she said. Wesley and B still live in Jemez Springs and Janecka hopes the success of her Del Mar store will bring the relocation of all manufacturing — and her kids — to Del Mar, where she decided to move after a lovely vacation experience. “I like the small town atmosphere here,” said Janecka, who grew up in the tiny town of Moulton, Texas. “This is the fourth small town that I’ve lived in. When I was first here I thought it was so quaint and everyone was so polite. Not only did I think it was a great place to do business, but also a great place to live.” Janecka is located in the former space of the Michael Seewald Gallery in the Del Mar Plaza, located at 1555 Camino del Mar.

Local resident brings his comedy skills to Mossy web videos BY KATHY DAY A phone call out of the blue from his cousin brought Justin York to California for an unusual project – creating comedy videos for YouTube for his cousin’s car dealerships. It wasn’t just any car dealer, but Jason Mossy – of the well known family’s string of dealerships – who came up with the idea. “Video is becoming so much more on the Web,” said Mossy, who is general manager of Mossy Toyota in Pacific Beach, part of the Mossy Automotive Group. “We thought it would be a way to get customers more interested in us.” Knowing that his cousin, who was living in Austin, Texas, and working at a comedy club there, had a sense of humor similar to his own, he put out the call earlier this year. “We wanted to add humor, and not be as dry as the normal stuff that other dealerships and other businesses are using online,” Mossy said. Enter York, who said he initially anticipated being here for about three months when he moved into the guest room at Mossy’s Rancho Santa Fe home. Since then, they agreed they needed more time to develop the program so York moved to Del Mar and his wife quit her job and joined him. Now he’s a full-time Mossy employee. York’s mother is a member of the Mossy family, which opened its first auto business in New Orleans in 1921 and later in Texas before coming to San Diego. York works in a small office tucked into Mossy Toyota’s parts supply room, where he dreams up ideas and does his editing. He attended the University of Georgia and then moved to Los Angeles where he took improv classes with the Improv Olympic West and Second City groups. While there he worked for a while as a viewer relations staff member for the Jay Leno show, meaning he answered calls and e-mails from the show’s fans and critics. He also had an opportunity to work with celebrity guests a bit. “But I couldn’t see myself staying in L.A. because I was the really low man on the totem pole,” York said. So back home to New Orleans he went to attend graduate school at Tulane. As an assignment for a class in entrepreneurships, he had planned to build a business model for a local comedy club similar to what he’d seen in Los Angeles. During his research he met a woman who had already done that so the project turned into writing a business plan for her and he eventually worked at her club. Then came Hurricane Katrina. “I stayed and tried to make it work,” York said, but many of his friends had left for Austin to open a comedy theater so, in May 2006, he joined them at the ColdTowne Theater where he not only performed and helped run the club but also taught at their improv center. With Austin becoming a hotspot for entertainment and comedy, he had settled in fairly well. It’s also where he met Teresa, his wife of a year and a half, while they were both doing improv. Now she is featured in some of the Mossy videos. In one, she gets up close — literally — with a new BMW 6 series car; in another,

GOURMET ON THE GO
Comedian Justin York she’s asking odd questions about a shiny new Mustang. Other videos feature just York, such as the video titled “Braking News” about the importance of getting brakes serviced. He said the title is a takeoff on a comedy skit called “Breaking News” he did in the past. York likens his style to Ian Roberts of the Upright Citizens Brigade, who was seen regularly on Conan O’Brien’s show; had roles in such films as “Anchorman” and “Talladega Nights”; and is an executive producer of Comedy Central’s “Key & Peele” sketches. While York has a few videos already on YouTube, he’s working on more to promote Mossy’s Toyota, Ford, BMW and VW dealerships, remembering all the while that he must maintain the image of a values and family-oriented company. “Online, to get attention, you need to be a little weird and absurd,” York said, adding that he always puts his humor “through a filter and remembers the brand.” Jason Mossy said that, so far, they’ve heard from a few customers who have liked what they’ve seen but the challenge now is to integrate them into the Mossy website so they attract more viewers. York said he’s having the most fun putting the “weird ones” together. Since he’s learning video techniques as he goes, some are a little more complicated. He says he’d like to add a mail section so viewers can suggest ideas and give him feedback, but he’s still building the program so that’s down the road a bit. But they have been seen at dealer conventions and viewed by some top auto execs, he added. Whether or not the video venture will be incorporated into the regular ad campaign hasn’t been broached, Mossy said. “But everything is evolving so quickly in video, we’ll see.”

Del Mar Rotary Club honors outstanding Torrey Pines student BY EMILY FIGUEIREDO, CLUB PUBLICITY CHAIR On Thursday, July 19, the Rotary Club of Del Mar presented the annual Erik Scott Sorensen Service-Above-Self Scholarship Award to Daniel Levine, a graduate of Torrey Pines High School. The scholarship award is named after Erik Sorensen, who was the son of Rotarian and past president John Sorensen and his wife, Cindy. Erik faced the progressive degeneration of Muscular Dystrophy and was the only wheelchair-bound student at Torrey Pines High School at that time. Erik was not only greatly respected by both students and faculty for his amazing attitude and accomplishments, but also by everyone he touched with his warm and caring way. After Erik’s death in 1995, the Rotary Club of Del Mar named an award in his memory. Since then, the Erik Scott Sorensen Service-Above-Self Award has been presented every year to a Torrey Pines student who though physically challenged, is an inspiration to fellow students because of his or her positive approach to life and readiness to volunteer, capturing the spirit and principles of the organization of Rotary. This year’s recipient, Daniel Levine, is a recent graduate of Torrey Pines High School. As a high school student, Daniel was well known on the Torrey Pines campus and was extremely outgoing, never letting his Asperger’s Syndrome get in the way of his life. Brimming with school spirit, Daniel could frequently be found at some sporting event, on any given night, rooting for the Falcons. He was also the manager of the CIF Champion Varsity Boys Basketball team this year. As a sophomore, Daniel was voted by his peers as Homecoming Prince. In addition, during high school, he helped in the Adaptive PE class and every year found a buddy in the class to support. Daniel Levine is a respectful and positive young man whose zest for life will surely take him far and help him achieve all his goals. Daniel will be attending Mira Costa College in the fall. With this award, he will be supported by the Rotary Club of Del Mar with $1,000 for his education. In response to receiving the Erik Scott Sorensen Service-Above-Self Award, Erik said, “I never thought I’d get an award for just doing things I love to do; being with my friends and supporting my school!” The Rotary Club of Del Mar honors Daniel’s parents, Martin and Sarah Levine, and congratulates Daniel for his outstanding achievements.

Del Mar-Solana Beach Optimist Club sponsors youth event The Del Mar-Solana Beach Optimist Club sponsored a community youth mountain boarding program for the “Straight From the Heart, Inc.” foster families at the lower San Dieguito Park on July 22. The event featured free, safe, mountain boarding lessons for the children. All of the necessary equipment was provided by Brad Beren, Optimist Club member, and owner of Boostamonte Mountain Boarding. The children and families in attendance had a great afternoon, and it was fun watching the children maneuver their mountain boards down the hill after their lessons with much pride and satisfaction of their accomplishment. Water and nutrition bars were also provided by the Optimist Club. More youth mountain boarding events are planned in the future. For information, contact Boostamonte Mountain Boarding at 858-382-0355. For more information regarding the Del Mar-Solana Beach Optimist Club, contact David Eller, club president, at 858-755-2222.

TEAM continued from page B3 Grace and Fonte met through their parents in 1991—their parents went to the same church in Northern California and found out both of their daughters lived in San Diego. What started with meeting for coffee and helping out a new San Diegan led to a partnership that has been very successful. Fonte was able to bring her business acumen to complement Grace’s medical field strengths. They have always shared an office, an invisible line separating the business and medical sides. “We don’t have to have meetings to know what’s going on,” said Grace. “We trust each other to know what’s best for our patients and what’s best for our team. That’s how we operate.” Together they have developed the OnTrack System, a unique non-surgical method for the management of patellofemoral dysfunction, a knee disorder that both Grace and Fonte have battled It’s the only system that realigns the patella and can return the joint anatomy back to normal and is now used worldwide. The pair also developed OrthoRx, Inc. in 1995, a research, development and orthopedic product company. In 1997, they created OrthoEd, an international medical education seminar company. Together they have traveled all over the
July 26, 2012 country to help teach medical professionals about effective and successful treatment of patellofemoral dysfunction. “I like what we do. There’s never going to be a hand that comes out of (a machine) to change people’s lives,” Fonte said. “When a patient comes to us, a person who really cares looks them in the eye, asks them how they’re doing today and touches them. The patient knows they’re in good hands, hands that can take them to a whole other level of wellness. They know we’re going to take good care of them. That’s the contribution we get to make every day.” Re-branding themselves as Evolve was part of their hope to establish a lasting legacy with their facility “It’s fun,” Grace said. “How many jobs are there where someone comes in with pain and leaves not in pain? How satisfying is that?” Evolve is located at 11468 Sorrento Valley Road, suite A, San Diego, 92121. For more information call (858) 457-3545 or visit evolveadvancedwellness.com. The second Wednesday of every month at Evolve is “Wellthy Wednesday,” where a speaker comes in to speak on a variety of topics. On Aug. 25 at 5:30 p.m., there will be a speaker on memory. September’s talk will be “Wine, Women and Hormones.”

TARBUTON
some education on Jewish holidays. Starr uses her marketing background to understand the needs of the community and spread the word about what they do. When she started Tarbuton, she said, she had a tough time getting some people to understand the difference from what is done in synagogue. “There we learn how to pray,” she said. “We are not anti-prayer. We are an Israeli cultural center.” Sometimes, she said, the Jewish day school may join them for special programs. While students are primarily of Israeli heritage, she said they have had non-Jewish students, some of whom were attending seminary, and they have a number of interfaith families — and she emphasized that everyone is welcome. They make an effort to keep fees as low as possible, and with help from the Jewish Federation Innovation Grant and the Leichtag Foundation they have been able to reduce the fees and offer some assistance. Even so, Starr said, as a 501c3 nonprofit, they must raise funds to support the program and pay rent for classroom space. Now conversationally fluent in Hebrew, Starr remains passionate about language acquisition – and not just hers. Her children are enrolled in Spanish classes at Del Mar Hills Elementary School and she wants more children and adults to join them at Tarbuton to learn Hebrew. (Her daughter has also attended Spanish classes at Del Mar Heights Elementary School.) Classes start in September. Register or learn more at www.tarbuton.org; info@tarbuton.org; 858-245-9375.

Del Mar Foundation brings ‘Rockola’ to Summer Twilight Concert Series
BY JILL WEITZEN MACDONALD As part of the Del Mar Foundation’s 30th Anniversary Celebration, the second of four summer concerts delighted a capacity crowd at Powerhouse Park in Del Mar on the evening of Tuesday evening, July 17. Del Mar “rocked the night away” to the music of San Diego’s favorite tribute band, Rockola. Know for its rendition of 1960s and ‘70s rock favorites, the band has a very loyal following. Delighted concertgoers, young and old, picnicked, danced and sang along with the band for more than two hours. New this year is “Opening Acts” sponsored by Zel’s Del Mar. On July 17, the opening act was local music group The Donnis Trio, consisting of Nate Donnis, Phil Woodring and Denis Sluka, who warmed up the crowd. These concerts would not be possible without the financial support of many local sponsors. The Del Mar Foun-

dation works in partnership with the business community to underwrite the concerts and counts on their participation each year to make them a reality. In addition, members of the Del Mar Junior Lifeguards sell raffle tickets to the crowd for a drawing that includes gift certificates from local restaurants, hotels and businesses in town.
