Congressional representation to shift Redistricting moves Solana Beach from 50th District to 49th
■ Better By The Pound reforms, finds homes for ‘problem dogs.’ Page 8
BY JOE TASH Contributor Rancho Santa Fe will be split among three state senatorial districts under final maps released Friday, July 29, by the California Citizens
Redistricting Commission. The community fared better for its congressional and state assembly districts, with the Rancho Santa Fe Covenant falling within a single district for each jurisdiction, said Pete Smith, manager of the Rancho Santa Fe Association. Meanwhile, the city of Solana Beach will get a new congressional representative, as it will shift from
the 50th District, now represented by U.S. Rep. Brian Bilbray, to the 49th District, where the seat is currently held by U.S. Rep. Darrell Issa. Following a 14-day public review period, the commission is scheduled to vote on the new maps on Aug. 15, according to a commission spokesman. The commission was established by a public vote, with the Cal-

Street makeover gives rise to ‘Cedros South’ BY CLAIRE HARLIN Staff Writer The area of the Cedros Design District from Rosa Avenue southward is letting its identity shine — makeover style. The 14 retailers of the mini-district have banded together to create “Cedros South” and completely change the façade of that end of Cedros Avenue. Not only will they be installing new crosswalks, sculptures and photographic banners, but they are adding a num-

ber of features to enhance the visitor experience: bike parking, new lighting facilities, dog watering stations and sitting areas, to name a few. The changes are drastic and fast-moving, said Cedros Avenue Design District Association spokesman Sean MacLeod. Merchants thought up the idea only five months ago, and improvements are expected to be complete in two months, culminating with an open house event on Oct. 15 —

ifornia electorate opting to take the job of redistricting away from state legislators, who performed it in the past. Instead, an independent commission is charged with balancing the populations of the state’s legislative and Congressional districts as required to occur every 10 years after the federal census.
BY KELLEY CARLSON Contributor It sounds as if the bell at St. Leo’s Mission may be ringing again sometime soon. Parishioners from the St. James and St. Leo Catholic Community are raising money to reconstruct a tower for the bronze bell, which has been silent since 2004. The original wooden tower, built in the 1960s, suffered from termite damage and was subsequently demolished; the bell has been in the back of St. Leo, cov-
ered with a canvas tarp. “It has come up now because of the centennial (celebration),” said Dr. Anthony Corso, who attends St. James Parish. “There’s this whole idea of legacy and history ... to remind us what has been accomplished.” The community is a part of Eden Gardens in Solana Beach, first settled in 1912 by a large number of migrant workers and

Cinepolis luxury theater creating a buzz “I can’t believe it. The seats were so comfortable if I had a blanket I would go to sleep. It’s a little expensive for us working ladies though.”

“I was worried with servers walking back and forth that we would lose the experience, but I was totally wrong ... There were no heads in front of us. There’s truly no bad seat. ”
PAMELA WARNER CARMEL VALLEY
BY CLAIRE HARLIN Since its July 22 opening in the Del Mar Highlands Town Center, the new Cinepolis luxury theater has got the community talking: Is it family friendly? Is the luxury worth the cost? Is it distracting to have wait staff serving guests during a movie? Given Cinepolis’ unique concept — which incorporates not only a movie theater but a full-service bar and restaurant — questions have been flying and residents have been going out in droves to the theater, many getting turned away because seats have been selling out so fast. The eight auditoriums at Cinepolis each hold 65 people, a smaller capacity than a typical theater, so general manager Antonio Garcia suggests purchasing tickets online far in advance in order to get a seat. Since its opening, he said, the theater has sold out almost every night. “This is more of a VIP, exclusive experience,” said Garcia. “The whole idea is that people will be purchasing their tickets a month in advance.” Guests of the theater are seated in leather reclining chairs that are paired in twos, similar to a loveseat, with a table in between each pair. An adjustable tray goes over the lap if needed, and a button can be used to call a server to order food and drinks.
Because the seats are in pairs, some have said Cinepolis caters more to couples and adults than to families with children. Kevin Yedid of La Jolla, for example, said “it’s a good place for older people or dates.” “It’s not great for families with younger kids because the seats aren’t close together, so it would be hard to watch the kids.” Garcia, on the other handed, pointed out that Cinepolis’ cozy and elegant dining area and bar in the lobby offers parents a place to hang out while kids are in the theater watching a children’s movie. “The Smurfs,” he said, has been particularly popular with kids this week. “We actually offer more quality family time because parents are not just dropping the kids off at a movie,” he said. “There something for them to do, too.” The luxury experience comes at a higher price — about $5 to $9 more per ticket than an ordinary theater — but Garcia said that has definitely not been a complaint. “We’re not catering to the masses. We’re here for guests who want to plan a night out and have a luxury experience with no teens running around and texting during the movie,” said Garcia. “We’re here for people who want to experience service and quality at another level.”
exhibitors wanted “Assisting with care needs when you need a little help.”

BELL continued from page 1 laborers, many employed in North County. About 30 years later, a “substantial number” of residents expressed interest in establishing a church. A small barracks building from the Camp Callan Army base on the Torrey Pines Mesa was moved to a location near the present church site and used for services. In 1959, the eastern portion of the church property was claimed in the construction of Interstate 5, resulting in the church’s displacement, according to a news release. Parishioners then took over a nearby concrete platform that contained the shell of a building initially planned for a community hall, and held fiestas to help raise money for a new structure, church volunteer Victor Tostado said. He added that Desi Arnaz of “I Love Lucy” fame, who had a summer home in Del Mar, often would play music at the site, and actors Pat O’Brien and Bing Crosby were also visitors. While there was a push to develop a permanent
church for St. Leo in the 1960s, there was also some controversy over having two Catholic churches less than a quarter-mile apart in the same community, according to Corso. St. James had relocated to Solana Beach from what is now the current library site in Del Mar, and there was debate whether the churches should be separate. In 1966, the diocese of San Diego decided that St. Leo was a cultural, religious church and should be preserved, and that it was important to the MexicanAmerican community, Corso said. “St. Leo became a mission church under the pastorship of St. James, and the two parishes were joined under the title ‘St. James and St. Leo Catholic Community,’ ” he added. That same year, parishioners at St. Leo built “every square inch” of
their “modest, uncomplicated” church from the shell on the platform for a mere $2,000, according to Corso, winning a national religion architectural award in the process. The bell tower was constructed at that time; the bell would ring for occasions such as births, baptisms, marriages, quinceañeras, sacred Masses and funerals. “There’s something important about bells ringing that creates a sense of community,” Corso said. But in 2004, it was discovered that the tower had become termite-infested, and it was wobbly and rotted and needed to be torn down, he said. A new tower will be constructed from steel, Corso said, and there will be “the same aesthetic quality of openness” as the previous structure. There has already been a preliminary review of the plans, Tostado said, and fundraising is under way, with a goal of $20,000. “We’re about 10 percent there,” Tostado said. Parishioners from both churches have been very generous, Corso added, but “we’re making a plea to the
larger community.” Some contributions were made during a blessing of the bell on July 23, held on the Patio of the Bells at St. James Parish. About 400 people attended Bishop Robert Brom’s Centennial Mass, and St. Leo’s Choir sang “La Golondrina.” “Even with the tremendous transition out of the community, we find that people still return for special occasions — it shows where their beginnings are and has great importance,” Corso said. He added that donations can be as little as $10, and a bronze plaque is planned where names can be added to it for $500 each. People who are interested in contributing to the cause can call Amy Martinez, finance manager, at (858) 755-2545, ext. 103. Checks may be sent to Bell Tower Restoration, c/o St. James and St. Leo Catholic Community, Attn: Amy Martinez, 625 S. Nardo Ave., Solana Beach, CA 92075.

ROBERTS continued from page 1 “I was pleased to be invited to this critical healthcare conference focused on HIV prevention, treatment education, research and advocacy,” said Roberts. “AIDS will become history in our lifetime if we commit the leadership and resources to make it happen.” Attendees at the Summit, held in the historic Kennedy Caucus Room in the Russell Senate Office Building, included House Leader Nancy Pelosi, Senators Mike Enzi and Kristen Gillibrand, Representatives Henry Waxman, Barbara Lee and Jim Himes, clothing designer Kenneth Cole, award-
SHIFT continued from page 1 “The concern we have, redistricting was supposed to try to protect the interests of communities and try not to divide them up too much,” Smith said, adding that the new configuration of state senate districts is frustrating. “The good news is we’d be represented by three state senators,” if the final map is approved as drawn, Smith said. Officials in Solana Beach will be watching the results of next year’s elections to find out which legislators will represent the city. “It appears re-districting will result in new faces representing Solana Beach in the near future. I hope to develop a good rapport with each to help them understand this section of their districts’ issues and concerns better. For instance, Solana Beach is as passionate about ensuring a healthy environment and high quality of life as they are about fiscal responsibility. We, on the City Council, work hard to balance these and hope to convey these priorities to our new representatives,” wrote Mayor Lesa Heebner in an email. The city will be in the 39th Senate District, and the 78th Assembly District. (Currently, Solana Beach is in the 38th Senate District and the 74th Assembly District.) The Rancho Santa Fe Association did improve its state assembly situation during the commission’s hearing process, Smith said. He and other Rancho Santa Fe officials — including Association board member Roxana Foxx and
winning actress Whoopi Goldberg (who provided a special tribute to Dame Elizabeth Taylor), FDA Commissioner Margaret Hamburg, television personality Chris Matthews of Hardball, Miss America 2010 Caressa Cameron, and television commentator Cokie Roberts. “I am energized to take the information that I learned at this Summit back with me to Southern California to help work on this international problem,” said Roberts at the conclusion of the conference. “I am also pleased to expand my contacts from around the nation to help others understand the complexities of this issue and work for common solutions.”
fire district representatives — testified before the commission at a hearing in San Diego. In earlier draft maps, Smith said, Rancho Santa Fe was at the northern tip of an assembly district that ran to the South Bay, and was the only unincorporated community in the district. Rancho Santa Fe has since been moved to another inland district that includes Poway. “I think we’re far better off than we were a few months ago when the process began,” Smith said. Rancho Santa Fe will also become part of the 49th Congressional District now held by Issa. At the county level, Rancho Santa Fe will remain in the 5th supervisorial district represented by Supervisor Bill Horn. “Bill has always been very open to hearing concerns from the community,” Smith said. According to the state redistricting commission’s website, the boundaries are not expected to change before the final maps are approved by the commission on Aug. 15. The deadline for approval was set so election officials have time to prepare for upcoming ballots in 2012. The commission’s website notes that the redistricting process is more transparent than in the past, as the commission has held 34 public hearings, taken testimony from 2,700 speakers and reviewed some 20,000 written communications since April, when the panel began its work. Those who want more information about state legislative redistricting can visit the commission’s website at www.wedrawthelines. ca.gov.

Local philanthropist helped make ‘Royal Couple’s’ visit to LA a success BY DIANE Y. WELCH Contributor The excitement generated by the recent visit to California by the newlymarried Prince William and Catherine, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, made news headlines around the world. And as Los Angeles played host to the “British Royal Couple,” Lena Evans, a local resident, quietly took her assigned place on the “Royal Detail” in her stride. Evans has a strong commitment to philanthropy with many years devoted to charitable service. It was her tireless volunteer work that brought her into the inner circle of “Will and Kate” with her important role as hostess during their weekend tour in early July. She is also an active supporter of The American Friends of the Foundation of Prince William and Prince Harry, Inc., a charity that benefits at-risk youth, the conservation and protection of natural resources, and military families — causes Evans is passionate about. Preparations for Prince William and Kate’s visit began a year ago, with Evans’ participation starting six months into the process. There were many people involved, from both the UK and the USA, so coordination was critical, she said. “Each event had their own group of people. There

charitable focus on military families. GYBN was invited to take part in the “Service Nation: Mission Serve” event. Evans took as her guest Mary Ellen Bancroft, a San Diego-based military widow. “I introduced her to William and Kate and she told them the story of how her husband was the first casualty of war just after the 911 attacks,” Evans said. The couple were clearly moved by her story, she added. They also appeared relaxed and “down-to-earth,” Evans said. “He introduced Kate with, ‘This is my wife, Catherine’, it was very cute.” A British Royal connection began a decade ago for Evans when she won a charity golf tournament in Las Vegas. The prize was to travel to the UK to be a guest at Windsor Castle, playing the private Royal household golf course and dining with the princes. “I assume they were quietly checking me out and getting to know me,” Evans recalled as she was then asked to serve as the first and only chair of the United States for The Duke of Edinburgh Cup, a
fundraising program of the Duke of Edinburgh’s Award International. She was also asked to host the Earl and Countess of Wessex’s first joint visit to the United States. “I must have made a good impression on them [the Royal family] as we have been connected since then,” said Evans. Proud to support the high-profile Royal visit, but not “phased or impressed” with her unique role, Evans was recently in the spotlight herself when she was honored with the “Hometown Heroes Award,” for her service to the community, country, and the world. The award was given on the 4th of July at the San Diego County Fair by 96.5 KyXy’s Sam Bass. Evans is CEO for the Jade Phoenix Corporation that oversees grants and manages the marketing of organizations that support charitable causes. She is active in many local charities, including Fashion Group International, San Diego Symphony, San Diego City Ballet, Rady Children’s Hospital, Country Friends and more.

Better By The Pound helps reform, then find homes for ‘problem dogs’ BY KAREN BILLING Staff Writer Local residents Randy and Amy Davis are working hard to ensure that reformed “problem dogs� find happy, lasting homes. The pair has created a resource for local shelters and rescue groups called Better By The Pound, helping shape up dogs whose chances at adoption may be at risk due to stress-related behaviors or lack of social skills. Since starting in 2009, they are now working with 12 different rescue groups such as It’s the Pits, The Barking Lot, Labrador Rescuers of San Diego and SPOT (Saving Pets One at a Time). The rescue groups pull particular types of dogs out of shelters, be it by breed or age or medical issues, dogs that might otherwise be euthanized. Better By The Pound steps in when the rescue groups run into behavioral problems. The Davises will either foster the dog in their home or work with dogs at their current placement to
help them achieve their ultimate goal of a forever home. The rescue groups still handle medical expenses and the adoption process, leaving Better By The Pound the time to work strictly on behavior. Better By The Pound helps about 25 dogs a year, their smaller numbers attributed to the kinds of dogs they work with. “It requires much more time and patience to get them turned around and make a success out of them,� Randy said. Randy developed a love for dogs and a talent for training at a young age, growing up with bull terriers. As an adult he volunteered for local shelters, “keenly observing� the techniques of other trainers. “I wanted to work with challenging dogs from day one,� Randy said. Their current line of business is a bit of a surprise to Amy, who was not an “animal person� at all. Now Amy lives with rotations of
seven to eight dogs and has fallen in love with more than a few of them. She has convinced Randy to adopt dogs such as Teddy, who she nursed with a baby bottle and Betsy Blue, a dog beaten when she was two months old and left without an eye. With other dogs, they have to go through the challenging process of letting go, like this summer’s success story, Annie. “When she left, I actually cried,� Amy said. “It’s hard to let them go,� Randy admitted. Much like parenting, they are providing love and guidance to these dogs. Their successes are what keep them going and the dog Philly is probably Randy’s favorite success story. When she came to him, Philly was an uncivilized, somewhat feral dog that would growl and was very stiff around people. Randy worked with her several months before he was able to straighten her out.

Better By The Pound founders Amy and Randy Davis with their canine brood and daughter Samantha. that specialize in preventing problem behavior. If owners can build a good relationship with their dogs, less of them might end up in the shelter system. “If our rescue had to go away because there were no more problem dogs, that would make me so happy,� Randy said. Both Davises encourage people to consider fostering. Rescue groups al-
ways need the help, Amy said, and it is a great trial run for people on the fence about owning a dog. Many rescue groups will cover medical expenses, provide food and offer the option of short or longterm fostering. For more information, visit betterbythepound.org.

“She’s now the sweetest dog, what we call a wiggle butt, when before she didn’t even like being touched,� Randy said. “It was personally very rewarding for me and she’s a dog I completely trust. She turned out to be a diamond in the rough.� While the Davises don’t own her, they still use Philly for her excellent parenting skills—she’s able to help socialize other dogs. A lot of the dogs that Better by the Pound works with are puppies, sometimes taken too young from their mothers. They get puppies with behavioral problems as they come from tragic beginnings, abandoned in dumpsters or abused. “Philly understands the rough and tough mentality of our rescue babies,� Amy said. “We call on her when she’s needed to be a mother.� Randy’s goals with Better By The Pound mainly focus on education. He would like to create instructional dog training DVDs

Fairbanks Riding Club completes big renovation BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER Fairbanks Riding Club recently completed the biggest renovation in the club’s 27-year history, completely redoing its barn. A somewhat hidden secret within the Fairbanks Ranch community, the boarding facility, which is open to non-Fairbanks Ranch residents, prides itself on being a welcoming, family-friendly place. “We want everybody here to The renovated barn at the Fairbanks Riding Club feel really comfortable, whether they are pleasure riders, competition riders, boarding a horse or just taking lessons,” said Susan Ellner, club president since December 2010. Currently, the club is home to 44 horses with 12 openings in its brand new barn. The club’s big remodel began in March, demolishing the old barn in four days. Tammy Pillette, MD Barnmaster of Southern California, and Randy Baker’s Baker Quality Construction put in new stalls by MD Barns and removed one stall to create a breezeway to help keep the barn cool and ventilated. The stalls feature a unique yoke-style guard instead of doors to allow horses to hang their heads into the aisle of the barn, as well as 10-inch concrete curbs, a new trend in the industry that prevents rusting at the bottom and promotes a longer life for stall walls. They kept some charming fixtures from their old barn, but updated the watering system and added grills between most stalls to allow horses to socialize. The club now has 36 stalls and 20 outside corrals with cover. They have three arenas, including a mirrored dressage court, three turnouts, a European walker, full groom and care service and hand grazing. As the club is within a gated community, the location is very secure and they also have a resident nightwatch. The club has trail access to the San Dieguito Riverbed and a trail through tree-lined Fairbanks Ranch, including a loop around the community’s lake, home to a few resident swans. “The trail is absolutely gorgeous, you couldn’t find a more beautiful trail,” said recent pastpresident Cauleen Glass, who frequently takes advantage of the trail with her boarding horses. “What we sell here is just a really lush, park-like setting. It’s very peaceful and serene,” agreed Ellner. “Time stops here.” In addition to peaceful riding, the club also offers quality instruction. Lena Nordlof-Davis, a USDF (United States Dressage Federation) gold, silver and bronze medalist, handles dressage training and care, and new addition Kelli Di Gioia-Bautista brings her championship experience in hunter jumper training. Summer Pony Camp is now running with daily riding and bathing of ponies, arts and crafts, and nature hikes. For more information, contact instructor Sarah Powell at (858) 449-3317. The club is also hosting a dressage clinic on Aug. 9 and 10 with Olympian Charlotte BredahlBaker. To register, call Lena Nordolf-Davis at (760) 822-7483.

Del Mar Racing Feature Former top jockey preparing to ride in the Leger Legends Race BY KELLEY CARLSON Contributor One of racing’s “Legends” is coming out of retirement — for a day. Former jockey Julie Krone, the first female inducted into racing’s Hall of Fame, plans to ride in the second Leger Legends Race on Sept. 7 at Doncaster Racecourse in England. The event supports the Injured Jockeys’ Fund, which provides medical, financial and pastoral care to riders whose injuries have forced some of them to end their competitive riding careers. Krone, like most jockeys, suffered injuries during her stellar career, but luckily managed to recover from them. She is the only female rider to win a Triple Crown race, the Belmont Stakes in 1993 aboard Colonial Affair; and a Breeders’ Cup event, the Juvenile Fillies on Halfbridled in 2003. She also won numerous riding titles: at Belmont Park, Atlantic City Race Course, Monmouth Park, The Meadowlands and Gulfstream Park.
At Del Mar, Krone rode the undefeated Argentinian champion Candy Ride to victory in the 2003 Pacific Classic, setting a track record. The Carlsbad resident hung up her racing tack in 2004, although she did compete in a special pari-mutuel wagering event several years ago against fellow retired Hall of Fame jockeys at Santa Anita Park. The 48-year-old Krone said the reason she stopped race riding in the first place was because it was wearing on her mentally, not so much physically. “I’m naturally 100 pounds,” she said. “I never put on weight. I’m like a little hummingbird.” But she “didn’t like the crashing.” “I don’t like seeing the horses get hurt,” she said. “Anything can happen ... you can do everything right, but there’s an element of chaos.” She’s attempting to put her feelings aside for charity, though.
To prepare for the Legends race, held during the opening day of the St. Leger Festival, Krone is galloping horses in the mornings for trainer Richard Mandella at Del Mar. “Mandella is one of the most amazing life coaches, from people to horses,” she said. “(He helps me) feel good about racing and myself.” Krone has also turned to karate, specifically Tang Soo Do, a traditional Korean
tougher and more mentally fit... Between Richard and the karate stuff, I think I’ll make the race. I’ll be a better person when the summer is over. I’ll be stronger and more capable of believing in my new self.” Despite the mental aspect of being a jockey, Krone indicated that she absolutely misses race riding. On a scale of 1 to 10, she rated it a 10. “I was loving everything else about it,” she said.

martial art that literally means “China Hand Way.” “It’s empowering — breaking stuff, punching things,” she said with a laugh. She finds herself engulfed in the concentration of trying to do the moves correctly. “It’s helped a lot with my balance and training,” Krone said. “It’s made me
“I don’t diet. Riding is one of the easiest things in the world (for me). It has beautiful, exciting (action). It keeps me strong and fit, and I make money — what wouldn’t I love?” Krone, who had been a jockey for about 25 years, also got along well with each one of the horses she rode. “I’m a chameleon,” she

said. “The ability to adjust is one of the finest talents to have as an athlete.” However, Krone is now exploring other avenues in the racing world. She said she has been dabbling with the idea of becoming a jockey agent, hanging out with Brian Beach, who books mounts for Chantal Sutherland. “I just ask him stuff and try to learn a few things,” Krone said. “I would have to have a very special jockey. I know who I want, but they don’t know it yet!” Krone is keeping busy in other ways, as well. She is working on a book project, based on her beloved thoroughbred Peter Rabbit’s perspective of her and her late mother, Judi. She is also the proud mother of Lorelei, her 5-year-old daughter with husband Jay Hovdey, a Daily Racing Form columnist. And Krone has been approached by recruiters from the reality TV show “Survivor,” although she has not accepted the challenge at this time. While Krone is on the
racetrack in the mornings, preparing for the “Legends” event, she is also occasionally in the stands in the afternoons. As a fan, her fondest memory at Del Mar is the “Mule Duel” between Black Ruby and Taz in 2002, in which Black Ruby scored a two-length victory. As a rider, Krone’s favorite moment at the seaside oval was when trainer Ron McAnally put her on Candy Ride for the Pacific Classic. The mount had originally been assigned to Gary Stevens, but he had been injured in a freak accident during the finish of the Arlington Million that season. “He (McAnally) was watching his horses train (from a platform over the track), and I was standing underneath, waiting,” she said. “The moment he said, ‘Yeah, you’re on, you’re going to ride,’ I felt like Lawrence of Arabia. It felt like the whole thing was already complete. It was the anticipation of waiting.”

Del Mar Racing Feature Local resident, Oak Tree Racing Association to be honored at fundraiser BY JULIE SARNO Contributor One of the most revered individuals in Southern California racing lives in Rancho Santa Fe, Dr. Jack K. Robbins. Robbins, now 90, practiced veterinary medicine for more than half a century. He served for the last 11 years as president of the Oak Tree Racing Association, which began conducting the autumn race meet at Santa Anita in 1969. In May, Robbins stepped down as president and assumed the position of chairman of the board of the Oak Tree Racing Association. He opted to spend more time with his wife, Maggie, who has been ill for several years. Robbins is the last of the original founding members of the Oak Tree Board of Directors. His tenure with Oak Tree included five runnings of the prestigious Breeders’ Cup. “There has been no greater friend to California racing, and racing in general, than Dr. Jack Robbins and the Oak Tree Racing Association,” said well-known trainer Jenine Sahadi, who also serves as president of the Edwin Gregson Founda-

sons: Jay, Don, David and Tom. Jay is a trainer and best known for training Tiznow to back-to-back Breeders’ Cup Classic wins in 2000 and 2001, and a “Horse of the Year” title in 2000. Second son Don, an attorney, was president of Hollywood Park for years and now is executive vice president and
legal counsel for Young’s Market. The next in line is David, also an attorney. Youngest son Tom is Del Mar Thoroughbred Club’s executive vice president, racing/industry relations. During the race meet, he also serves as racing secretary. A 1944 graduate of the University of Pennsylvania,
Robbins worked as a veterinarian all his life. His practice in Southern California included many of racing’s leading breeders, owners and trainers. Famous horses under his care in California included Citation, winner of the 1948 Triple Crown; Kentucky Derby and Preakness winner Majestic Prince (based in California with trainer John Longden); and John Henry, twice “Horse of the Year” (1981 and 1984). “I think Dad always hoped one of us would become a vet,” said Jay, 65, who currently has horses tabled at Del Mar and is considering the Del Mar Oaks as the next start for stakesplaced 3-year-old filly Dos Lunas later in the Del Mar meet. “Mom always told us to stay away from the racetrack. We didn’t listen.” Asked what he admired most about his father, Jay said “I’d like to be able to emulate his honesty. Dad was honest to everyone he was around. He was very upright with the people he dealt with.” The Robbins’ patriarch set an example his sons are following. He has devoted much time and energy to
bettering thoroughbred racing. In addition to other contributions, he was a founding member of the American Association of Equine Practitioners and was president in 1963, and was appointed a distinguished life member in 1980. Robbins has been honored by the National Turf Writers and the Thoroughbred Club of America. Son Tom is a member of the American Graded Stakes Committee, which issues grades to stakes races to provide owners and breeders a guide to the relative quality of thoroughbred horses. Tom and his wife, Missy, live in the Carmel Valley area. As director of racing for Del Mar, Tom creates the schedule of races for Del Mar, seeking to appeal to the inventory of horses available, as well as to trainers, horse owners and the public. The elder Robbins, as head of the Oak Tree Racing Association, will be honored by the Edwin Gregson Foundation at its Aug. 8 event at the Grand Del Mar. Tickets are $250 per person.

Rotary Corner
Rotary ‘Avenue of Service’ committees BY EMILY FIGUEIREDO, PUBLICITY CHAIR FOR THE DEL MAR ROTARY CLUB The Rotary Club of Del Mar truly is changing the world, both locally and across the globe. Each Del Mar Rotarian is asked to support and serve on a committee, or “Avenue of Service.� The four Avenues of Service include International, Community, New Generations and Vocational Service. The International Service committee of the Del Mar Rotary Club donates thousands of dollars to worthy causes all over the world each year. In the 2010-2011 session, this group supported projects in Ecuador, Mexico, Fiji, Vietnam, Japan, various countries in Africa, as well as international affairs here in San Diego. From microcredit loans for women’s projects to providing shelter in disaster zones and
school supplies in third world countries, they are truly making a global impact. Other major projects included funding for solar light and power to a remote Fijian village, grants for the preservation of rainforest and sustainable development in Ecuador, as well as continued aid to Esperanza International for homes to be built in Mexico. The Community Service committee supports projects closer to home. Each year this group also gives thousands of dollars to local charities and donates countless hours of manpower working within the community. Some recent accomplishments include the following: St. Leo’s Medical and Dental Clinic received equipment; Encinitas Community Re-
source Center and Father Joe’s received food for needy families during the holidays; Rachel’s House women’s shelter was given meals; The Automotive Museum in Balboa Park was painted; the children of the St. Leo’s Headstart Program were given a Christmas party; and the San Dieguito Riverpark continued to be improved. The Boys and Girls Clubs of San Dieguito, The Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA, local barbeques and blood drives were also supported by the Community Service committee. The New Generations Avenue of Service supports the youth of our local community. They seek to inspire leadership and Rotary’s motto of “Service Above Self� within adolescents, teens and young adults. In 2010-2011, scholarships were awarded to students of Sunset High, Torrey Pines High School, Mira Costa College and the Erik Scott Sorenson scholarship for a physically challenged and inspiring student. New Generations also supports a Rotaract service club at the University of San Diego, Interact service clubs at Torrey Pines High
School and Cathedral Catholic High School, Boy Scouts and Eagle Scouts, the Rotary Youth Leadership Awards and Model United Nations programs. A new Avenue of Service was added this year to support the professional connections of Rotarians and focus on ethics in business. The Vocational Service committee will work to connect vocation with service, instill dignity and honesty within and through businesses, promote talent and opportunities of all vocations and create projects to promote business ethics to young people. We look forward to announcing some exciting new projects from this committee soon! Please join us each Thursday at noon at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church in Del Mar to see how you might be inspired to become involved with an International, Community, New Generations or Vocational Service project.

More than a dime’s worth of difference ONE VIEW In the June 30 and July 28 columns, I summarized key differences between Democrats and RepubGORDON licans: (1) Democrats CLANTON favor proNorth Coastal gressive taxcolumnist ation; Republicans favor huge tax cuts for the very wealthy. (2) Democrats are pro-labor; Republicans are anti-union. (3) Democrats support Social Security, Medicare, and national
health insurance; Republicans oppose them. (4) Democrats are pro-choice; Republicans want to outlaw abortion and stem-cell research. In a long letter published here July 21, Tim Binder took issue with those claims. (1) Mr. Binder objects that Democrats support taxation of every kind and that Republicans want tax cuts for everyone, the rich and the poor alike – conveniently overlooking the fact that Democrats always seek to raise and Republicans always seek to lower the top income tax rate and the capital gains tax rate. Some Republicans say the flat tax is the way to go. Republican Ronald Reagan once said
that big corporations should pay no federal taxes at all because they are job-creators. (2) Mr. Binder objects to my characterization of Republicans as anti-union, but then launches an all-out attack on unions, especially public service unions and government workers’ pensions, which he implicitly blames for the current budget crisis in state and local government. (3) Mr. Binder objects, preposterously it seems to me, that if the Democrats truly supported Social Security and Medicare, these funds would not be threatened with bankruptcy – conveniently overlooking the fact that it is ongoing Republican efforts to kill, de-

fund, privatize, and otherwise “reform” these programs that most jeopardizes their future. (4) Mr. Binder objects that some Democrats favor some limits on abortion – conveniently overlooking the fact that since 1980 Republicans have pledged to criminalize abortion and to appoint judges and Supreme Court justices who support that goal. He then makes clear that he does, in fact, oppose legal abortion and stem-cell research on human embryos. Mr. Binder closes his letter with a long quotation from President Kennedy. This non-sequitur has nothing to do with the questions under discussion, so it serves to further obscure the im-
portant differences between the parties — as if JFK would support the Republican position on any of these matters. Most Democrats support progressive taxation, Social Security, Medicare, and national health insurance. Most Democrats are pro-labor and pro-choice. Most Republicans oppose progressive taxation and seek to dismantle Social Security, Medicare, and the Obama health care initiative. Most Republicans are anti-union and anti-choice.

Wrong focus on water rate issues Have the courage to sign a name with comments
Once again, people are focusing on completely the wrong issue with regard to our water rates. Brad Burnett’s letter last week concluded by pointing out that directors Ingalls and Irvin “have a lot of added expenses.” $7,400 (excluding per diems) for the two of them for the year is “a lot”? Out of a budget of $34M? If you had a water bill of $300/ month, these extra director expenses would cost you an additional $0.07 per month. Being a director on such a board is a very hard and time-consuming job. One of the reasons our water rates are so high is that a previous Santa Fe Irrigation District board allowed thethen General Manager to
hoodwink them into instituting a very generous SFIDwide retirement package. That one bad decision by the previous board has cost us ratepayers more money than all board compensation (including per-diems) put together. Board compensation (including those “extra expenses”) is already so low that qualified people who sit on the board are literally doing this as a community service project — i.e., they are essentially donating their time. And in return they get harassed by ratepayers who would rather publicly scold them than actually help the situation. If ratepayers are truly worried about their water
rates, I would suggest reading the annual reports (all of them) to get a sense of what the true drivers of the rate increases are, and then if you find something you think the board doesn’t already know (and it had better be worth more than $0.07 out of a $300 bill), sit down with a board member to discuss your concerns. I have done that myself with regard to pension and administrative expenses. I found the board member I talked with to be very competent and knowledgeable. And I also felt we were getting a bargain having him work for us at $200/board meeting. Phil Trubey

which will be a “big, lovely party,” said MacLeod. “We have such a wonderful community of friends and merchants at the south end. We would get together and have wine and cheese amongst ourselves, and one day I said ‘Hey, we ought to take this idea further and highlight our unique identity,’” said MacLeod. He added that the Cedros South area is not trying to compete with or break away from the rest of the district. “We are one big happy family on the whole avenue, but if people respond to ‘South Village,’ they’re going to come to Cedros anyway,” he said. “We are just enhancing one part of the street.” The merchants are particularly excited about the installation of a large sculpture called “Love My Bike,” by Amos Robinson. Currently a prized possession of Manhattan Beach, the sculpture will be relocated to Cedros Avenue and soon adorn the entrance of Cedros South. “The artist knows Cedros and grasps our vision,” MacLeod said. MacLoad said the South Cedros facelift will not only solidify and give a name to the identity that already exists past Rosa Avenue, but it will also highlight the fashion and art-oriented merchants who reside there. “There are some fascinating people down there,” he said.
I recently submitted a letter to the editor which ran in the July 17 edition of this newspaper. I was very surprised to receive in my mail today an envelope containing my published letter with many derogatory and petty comments regarding my writing style penned over the cut-out version of my letter. Not only was the sender too insecure to sign his or her name, but they stooped to adding the name of one of my friends at the end, I can only assume in a feeble attempt to falsely identify someone else as the au-
thor. I am proud of my opinions and am proud to be an American where we can all communicate our opinions. I have no respect for the person who mailed this to me to criticize and demoralize when they are not willing to put their name to their voice. If you shared my pride in America and our right to value opinions, including your own, you would have had the courage to have your name follow your comments. Corinne Hackbart

Surfing a family affair for father and son Senneffs BY GIDEON RUBIN CONTRIBUTOR Tim Senneff was an 8-year-old Michigan transplant riding Styrofoam boards on La Jolla Shores when his surfing voyage began. Along the way, he picked up his son, Tim Jr., for the ride. Both have gone on to achieve competitive success. Senneff Sr. is a fourtime national champion in the short-board circuit. His son is a rising star who excelled on the Torrey Pines High club team and is currently ranked third on a prestigious surfing tour. The father/son combo will compete together at this weekend’s 2011/2012 Western Surfing Association’s championship tour launch at San Onofre State Beach. Senneff Sr. was a middle-schooler when his parents moved to La Jolla in 1968. He started swimming competitively which led to surfing and he immediately took a liking to the sport despite the unsophisticated gear, describing the sensa-
tion of standing on a foam board as a thrilling experience. “It really hooked me,” he said. It still hasn’t let go. Senneff lived near George Taylor Surfboards, a local manufacturer, from whom he purchased his first board within a few years of moving to the San Diego coast. He started surfing competitively on the WSA circuit by the time he was 16. But it wasn’t until he was in his 40s that he became dominant in his sport, winning four titles within a six-year period from 2003 to 2009. Senneff, now 52, won seniors titles in 2003 and 2004, a master’s title in 2008 and a super seniors title in 2009. Senneff Jr., a standout at Torrey Pines and Earl Warren Middle School, is making a name for himself, too. He placed third in the 2009 “Koastal Kaos” Pro/Am Surf Series, and is currently ranked third on the 2011 summer series “Revolt in
He was also an avid skateboarder, like his father who was a competitive skater in the 1970s. “To pass it on means we’ve become really close and we’ve been able to surf a lot together,” Senneff Sr. said. “We really have the commonality of an incredible passion to be able to do this together. “It’s really means everything to me.” Senneff Jr. said embracing the challenges of surfing has helped him learn to navigate through some of the difficult waters life presents. “There’s never a ‘bad day’ ” surfing, he said. “If I’m ever having a bad day or something surfing helps clear my mind. THE FAMILY THAT SURFS TOGETHER — Father-son team Timothy Senneff and Tim Senneff, Jr. hit the waves at 15th street in Del Mar. Photo/Jon Clark It just helps me out a lot.” Style” Pro/Am tour. Both are high-performance short board surfers who’ve patterned their styles after legends Andy Irons and Kelly Slater. “It’s created a really great connection in our relationship,” Senneff Jr. said. “It’s just given me a lot of trust with my dad. Ever since I was young and he pushed me into the waves I’ve been listening to his advice and following his guidance. “He’s taught me a lot and I learn a lot from him
every day. I love surfing with him, it’s always fun.” Senneff Jr. first surfed when he was about 5, and started competing when he was 10. He was ranked No. 2 in the county on a Warren team that placed second in the state, and was the county’s fourth-ranked surfer at Torrey Pines, helping lead the Falcons to an unbeaten season his senior year. Senneff Jr. also played soccer, baseball and basketball in middle school before deciding to focus on surfing.

Optimist Club member approaches 40th year of service BY DIANE WELCH CONTRIBUTOR Optimist International is dedicated to “Bringing Out the Best in Kids,” according to its website. Members devote volunteer hours to conduct positive service projects on a community level that provide a helping hand to youth. With their positive attitude and contagious enthusiasm, Optimist Club Warren Raps members empower young Photo/Jon Clark people to be the best that they can be. Warren Raps has been an active supporter of the Optimist Club since July 2, 1972. He remembers that date well. It represented the start of 39 years of continued service. He is currently a member of the Del Mar-Solana Beach Optimist Club, but in his past service he held leadership positions as president, vice president and sergeant-at-arms with the now defunct original Encinitas Optimist Club. “Our members just got too old,” he said, “And we couldn’t attract new members to help the youth in our community.” That original club was founded in 1955, and served to build a foundation for future clubs to follow, said Raps. Fundraisers during the ‘70s and ‘80s were hands-on and included selling pumpkins during Halloween time. “We’d load up a flatbed truck that belonged to one of the firemen and sell the pumpkins at shopping centers around Encinitas,” Raps recalled. They also sold raffle tickets for a turkey drive during Thanksgiving. There was a wide variety of members, which included lawyers, insurance agents, sheriff’s deputies, construction people, farmers and firemen. Members pitched in to help build the Ecke Little League field, the Diegueno Little League field, and the running track at Ocean Knolls Elementary School. Raps recalled when they went to get the permits to start the work on the Ecke field that they needed an agriculture permit. “We were asked what we were raising. I said, ‘We are raising children.’” Back in the ‘70s the club met on a Saturday morning at Colony Kitchen, a long-gone restaurant where the Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas now stands. One of the last venues was Brett’s Barbeque where members met at lunchtime. The club’s major role was sole sponsorship of the Encinitas Little League Baseball program. “We provided everything from the uniforms to the maintenance of the fields. And the wives and mothers worked in the snack stand to help raise funds,” Raps said. As the years passed, however, the league chose to take over this role themselves. “They thought that we were making too much money, but they soon found out that we were supporting it through other fundraisers,” said Raps, adding that the club nevertheless still continued to help out with maintenance of the fields. Raps, who never married, has always been a SEE OPTIMIST, PAGE B6
Award-winning physician devoted to helping others combat glaucoma BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor When he was a young physician doing his residency in ophthalmology at USC Medical Center in Los Angeles, Dr. J. Rigby Slight made a startling discovery that impacted the direction of his career. He was confirmed as a likely candidate for glaucoma due to the “look” of his optic nerve. Glaucoma is an eye condition that results in optic nerve damage causing vision loss and even blindness. It is usually associated with aging, but it was detected as an unwelcome sword of Damocles hanging over Dr. Slight’s head when he was in his early 30s. That’s when Slight chose glaucoma as his subspecialty. “I decided to learn everything I could about it,” he said. “And to this day, I’m still what you call a ‘glaucoma suspect’ and get my checkups every year, but I have not yet developed glaucoma and that’s now 45 years, but I still watch it.” In the interim, Slight has devoted a major part of his practice during the past four decades to treating thousands of patients in North County for a disease that afflicts 4 million Americans — “2 million who know they have it and another 2 million that have it but don’t know it.” Glaucoma is the collective name of a group of diseases sometimes called the “silent thief of sight” because it often damages a person’s vision so gradually that any loss of vision may not be noticed until the disease has reached an advanced stage. UCSD’s School of Medicine recently honored Slight with the 2010-2011 “Outstanding Clinical Teaching Award ” for his contribution to teaching ophthalmology residents and fellows glaucoma diagnosis, management and surgery. He has served on UCSD’s medical school faculty for 41 years. We interviewed the 76-year-old clinician and surgeon in his private practice office in Solana Beach. With a full head of pure white hair and a relaxed demeanor, Slight said that “People keep saying I look like Andy Rooney.” Right, not only looks like, but talks like Andy Rooney, the curmudgeon writer and TV commentator who gives his amusing take on life’s peculiarities

weekly on CBS’s “60 Minutes.” “I’d like to meet him someday,” Sight said, “because when he’s talking on the show, I have to agree with almost everything he says. I just wish I had his money.” Slight was born in Bartlesville, Oklahoma, of English and Dutch heritage. The name ‘Slight’ is an Anglicized derivation of the family’s Dutch ancestral name ‘Van Sleight.’ His father was a hotel manager. Initially, Slight was considering a career in engineering when he enrolled at Westminster College in Fulton, Missouri. “But it happened to be a very strong pre-medical school and the more exposure I got to the idea of medicine, the more I got interested in it…and changed my major out of engineering into pre-medicine. “It was the best move I ever made,” he said, “and that’s why I’m here.” He earned his pre-med degree in 1957 and his medical degree at University of Oklahoma, College of Medicine, in 1961. He completed his internship at UCLA Medical Center in 1962; and after three years in the U.S. Air Force as a flight surgeon, did his residency in ophthalmology with a subspecialty in glaucoma at USC Medical Center, Los Angeles, 1965-68.

Surprising squid encounter delights photographer BY STEVEN MIHAILOVICH Contributor Jon Schwartz has been photographing marine life for the past four years and he’s good at it. Good enough for 15 magazines such as Field & Stream, Sport Fishing and Marlin to grace their covers with his photos. Schwartz said he travels far and wide to get his shots of exotic fish, such as marlin in pristine tropical waters, and destinations like Hawaii, Mexico and the Caribbean islands among others, where he has landed in pursuit of his prized subjects. However, when Schwartz and fishing buddy Josh Pruitt launched their kayaks in the predawn hours of June 20, none of his many expeditions across the globe prepared him for what he found just one mile off the coast of La Jolla: a large shoal of squid swimming near the surface by his kayak. “The squid encounter was super special,” Schwartz said of the experience. “It’s expensive to go to the places I go to get the pictures I get. With this, I didn’t have to get on a plane and bring my

Schwartz had the skill, the equipment, the experience, and that day, the luck as well, because the sevento eight-inch squid stayed put when he entered the water — probably because of their unusual situation, Schwartz said. In fact, Schwartz’s luck was gushing. The waters were uncommonly clear and even the numerous settings on his camera for lighting, shutter speed and depth of field were perfect. “If those aren’t right, you don’t get to change them,” Schwartz said. “That was the most bizarre thing. Everything worked right. If it didn’t work out, I wouldn’t be talking about it ... I’ve seen a lot of weird stuff in the water. The thing about this is it was the right place and the right time. I could go (to that spot) every day for five years and never have it happen.” The 41-year-old Schwartz said his squid story would be used further to inspire his students to write about their own experiences. He’s been teaching fourth- and fifth-graders at Garrison Elementary School in Oceanside since 1997. To

Beachfront Cinema Series gets ready for the big screen Local couple kicks off online fundraising campaign July 26
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY CLAIRE HARLIN Staff Writer Former East Coast residents Emma and Ian Leggat were sitting outside enjoying a drink in Del Mar one day a few years ago when they began to reminisce about the outdoor cinema events they used to attend back in New York City. “They are such great events that we’ve seen in a lot of other cities, and we thought it was strange that Del Mar, of all places, didn’t have that,” said Emma Leggat. “So we thought, ‘Why don’t we just start this?’” It was that conversation that gave rise to the annual outdoor, family Cinema Series, which is in its second year and on its way to being a staple summer gathering. Hosted and organized by Friends of Del Mar Parks, the event brought out a large crowd last year, and this year organizers are
expecting an even bigger turnout on Sept. 10 and 24 at Del Mar Shores. But unlike last year’s event, which was funded through corporate sponsors, Friends of Del Mar Parks is seeking the monetary support of the community itself. They launched a fundraising campaign via www. kickstarter.com, a funding platform for creative projects that provides information on the Cinema Series and facilitates online donations. In just three days since the campaign was unveiled on July 26, the series has raised more than $600, Leggat said. But the Cinema Series is far from its $5,000 goal, which will cover operational and promotional costs. “We thought this would be a fun and interesting way to engage the community, instead of having
corporate logos everywhere at the event,” said Leggat, adding that letting community members donate will give them a sense of ownership in the series. The 2011 Cinema Series kicks off Sept. 10 at sunset (around 7:30 p.m.) with a trio of award-winning films that put a new twist on the traditional surf flick. “Dear and Yonder” looks at the history of women’s surfing, and “The Physics of Surfing” will offer a scientific glimpse into the logistics of surfing, explaining everything from how it works to what makes the perfect swell. Special guest Maggie Franks will also be present for the screening of “The Board Meeting,” a historical look at surfing, including the inspiration and origin of the San Diego Clothing line Old Guys Rule. “We did some research on what are some thoughtprovoking, unique and interesting films that are related to the ocean in some way,” said Leggat. “We also looked at film festivals to
find these films.” The Cinema Series events will be free, but organizers hope those planning to attend will consider donating in advance. Prizes are offered at each contribution level, with the highest being $250 or more. A donation of that amount will win you a VIP, red-carpet experience at the event, in which organizers will set up a blanket and chairs at a prime viewing spot and include a candy bucket or chocolate-covered strawberries — your choice. For $100 or more, donors will get a deluxe cheese-and-cracker plate and a “director’s wine sampler kit,” fit with four 50ml bottles, one each of Francis Ford Coppola’s Director’s Chardonnay, Merlot, Pinot Noir and Cabernet Sauvingnon.To make a donation, visit http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/97556877/ del-mar-shores-cinema-series.

Subtle changes at Delicias keep it close to customers’ hearts BY KELLEY CARLSON elicias put down roots in Rancho Santa Fe about 20 years ago, and has since blossomed into an award-winning, cutting-edge establishment. A recipient of Wine Spectator Magazine’s Best of Award for Excellence, the restaurant has recently introduced the iSomm application, created and trademarked by Delicias owner Owen Perry. The entire wine list — which consists of 1,200 labels, according to floor manager Branden Rinker — can be accessed via an iPad. A sommelier is also on staff to assist with selections. Other changes have occurred recently at the establishment. Patrons will find more pizzas and pastas on the menu, such as the House Smoked Salmon Pizza, Mac & Cheese with black winter truffle and Serrano ham, and a Risotto of the Day. Some prices have also been lowered, according to executive chef Michael Knowles, and a full tapas menu is now offered.

On The
Menu Recipe
Each week you’ll find a recipe from the featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net. Just click on ‘Food’ or ‘On The Menu.’ ■ This week: Delicias’ Sherry-Glazed Confit Pork Belly (with caramelized fuyu persimmon, pistachio and buttered crab) There are theme days as well. Thursdays is Burger Night, which actually commences with grilling on the patio during lunchtime, but extends into the evening with specialty patties. In addition, there’s Fiesta Friday, in which street tacos are offered for $3 at the build-your-own taco bar. Despite the changes, Delicias still retains the influence of celebrity chef Wolfgang Puck, who developed the original concept and design of the site. Knowles worked directly with Puck at other restaurants, and continues
to provide the casual comfort California cuisine Delicias has been known for offering. “The approach on food is from farm to table,” Knowles said. “I try to know where the food comes from, whether it’s pig, chicken, (etc.).” He added that they try to make as many items in-house as possible, such as ketchup, cheese and charcuteries. Along with pizzas and pastas, there are plenty of other delectables: appetizers such as Monterey Bay Crisp Calamari; specialty salads; entrees such as Rinker’s favorite,
Miso Glazed Halibut; sandwiches, including the Colorado Lamb Burger; and house-cut steaks. Desserts vary from cheeses to Carlsbad Strawberry Short Cake. Children have their own special menu, and can color while they wait for their food. The kids’ menu has everything from Cheese Pizza to Grilled Prime Flatiron Steak. For dessert? Root Beer Floats. “That’s a big draw ... adults order them, too,” Rinker said. When enjoying the dishes at Delicias, customers have several seating options. The patio near the entrance is shaded by green umbrellas, with two fire pits. Patrons can observe passers-by along Paseo Delicias. Just inside the front door is the dimly lit, full-service bar, where guests can enjoy happy hour or an entree from the main menu while watching TV on a set high in a corner. The main dining room, with its Mediterranean decor and light brown theme, features banquet
tables with white tablecloths, a large fireplace and French doors providing views of the patio. There are plants in the corners, several black chandeliers overhead, and skylights to provide a soft glow. Toward the back is the courtyard, which has a fireplace, heat lamps and a retractable awning overhead to allow for plenty of sunlight or a view of the stars. Rinker said entertainment is occasionally provided by the jazz band, Joe Satz Trio. The best way to get to know Delicias is to do the food and wine tasting menu, Knowles said. “You get to try a little bit of all the dishes on the menu ... and you experience the sommelier as well,” he added. The busiest times at the restaurant tend to be Thursday through Saturday nights, with reservations highly recommended on Thursdays, Rinker said. For those who choose not to dine in or take out, Delicias offers delivery service to residents of the Covenant area.

OPTIMIST continued from page B1 supporter of local youth. “Way back when, there was a club that I belonged to called the ‘Kings Men of Solana Beach Car Club.’ We decided to sponsor Little League and then we supported the Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts. That’s how I first got involved,” he recalled. Raps still has a passion for cars and has restored a 1917 Ford Model T which he showcases in local classic car shows and parades.
Last year the new Encinitas Optimist Club was founded. Dr. Nicole Wahab is president and Raps was named an honorary member. It was sponsored by the Del Mar-Solana Beach Optimist Club in which Raps still has an active role. He remains closely involved with the Cub Scouts and also the ConKerr Cancer program for which pillow cases are made, then decorated cheerfully, for children who have cancer. “When they come in for treatment they choose two pillowcases and then when

GLAUCOMA He worked for a year at a practice in LA before he learned that local physician Dr. Jack Novak was about to build the Lomas Santa Fe Medical Center in Solana Beach and was looking for an ophthalmologist to lease one of the offices. “And I said, ‘Solana Beach is better than Los Angeles.’ That was in 1969 when I moved here, the same year the Padres got started. And I kind of adopted the Padres and loved them ever since. Win or lose.” He’s been a baseball fan all his life. “One of my heroes was Mickey Mantle because he grew up not far from where I grew up. He was just a couple of years older than I was; and I remember seeing him play in the Minor Leagues in Oklahoma when he was just 16 years old — and he could hit home runs at that age. So he was always my favorite.” Mantle, of course, morphed into the legendary New York Yankees’ slugger who hit 536 home runs in his 18-years in the Major Leagues. Slight and his wife, Lynn, who have been married 40 years, lived 25 years
continued from page B1 in Solana Beach, before moving to Carmel Valley. Despite his age and a curvature condition of his upper back called kyphosis, Slight has no intention of retiring. “Since I enjoy what I’m doing, I wouldn’t know what to do with myself,” he says. He works four-and-ahalf to five days a week and treats 20 to 25 patients a day. In addition to teaching, he performs glaucoma surgery at Scripps Memorial in Encinitas and La Jolla and is a glaucoma consultant to Sharp Rees-Steely Medical Group, and at the Veterans Administration Medical Center. “If you can diagnose glaucoma early,” he said, “most people can go a lifetime with normal vision.” He recalls one patient who was 18 when she came to him and had already lost half of her vision due to glaucoma. To prevent her from becoming blind, he performed incisional surgery. “Today, her children are on their way to college and she’s led a normal, productive life for the last 30 years,” he said with satisfaction. Glaucoma is generally characterized by increased

When the fluid can’t filter out of the eye at its normal rate, the pressure builds, often resulting in damage to the optic nerve. “It’s a combination of the absolute height of the pressure and the resistance to the pressure,” Slight said. Damage to the optic nerve is painless and so slow that it often occurs before patients are aware of the problem. Regular eye exams are essential for early detection and treatment, Slight said. “The treatment is to lower the pressure,” Slight said “Ninety percent of the people with glaucoma in the U.S. have open-angle glaucoma,” he explained. In open-angle glaucoma, the drainage channels are partially blocked and the pressure build-up is gradual. A second and less common form of glaucoma is angle-closure glaucoma, also called closed-angle glaucoma, which occurs when the iris bulges forward and narrows or blocks the drainage angle formed by the cornea and the iris — resulting in an abrupt increase in eye pressure. “Glaucoma laser surgery will lower the pressure in about 70 percent of patients for a period of time,” he said. “For some, as the years go on, it loses its effect.

“With conventional incisional surgery you actually make a new drain and that’s effective in about 90 percent of the time, but with a greater risk factor of infection or hemorrhage, so you often wait until the other eye drops or laser fail before you do it.” But, he added, some incisional surgeries for glaucoma over the years can also fail; “then you do another one.” Other forms of glaucoma are the less understood low-tension glaucoma in which the optic nerve is damaged but the eye pressure remains normal; and pigmentary glaucoma associated with the scattering of pigment granules in the eye that interfere with eye fluid drainage and causes an increase in eye pressure. Medical statistics reveal that African-Americans are five times more likely to develop glaucoma than do Caucasians, and much more likely to suffer blindness as a result. Also at increased risk are Mexican-Americans, Asian-Americans, anyone 60 and older, anyone with diabetes, hypothyroidism, nearsightedness, or anyone who has suffered a severe eye injury. Asked if there anything that can be done to prevent glaucoma, Slight said, “Not yet. There is some marvelous work being done in genetic and stem cell research. They haven’t got to the point that they prevent glaucoma yet, but I perceive, in the not too distant future, they will. “It makes you think that 10 years from now we’ll be treating the disease rather than the symptoms.” Completely Remodeled

Royal Dance Academy hosts 10th anniversary party The Royal Dance Academy (RDA) has been providing dance instruction for Carmel Valley and surrounding areas for 10 years now.

Polo Bay Interiors moves to Cedros Design District BY CLAIRE HARLIN Staff Writer After 25 years of success at its Rancho Santa Fe/ Del Mar area location, Polo Bay Interiors opened its doors July 27 at 344 S. Cedros, Suite B, making the Cedros Design District home to a major force in the interior design industry — Mary Kellejian. As owner of Polo Bay, Kellejian adds her flair to homes not only in the community but nationwide, and she was recently elected president of the San Diego Chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID). The honor is something the community should be proud of, and it is in line with what the Cedros Design District offers, said husband and Deputy Mayor Joe Kellejian, who has served five four-year terms on the Solana Beach City Council. “We’re proud that she not only represents San Diego County but our fine city, and she has a knack of being able to work with people,” he said. “She has actually become part of the family in the homes of the people she works with. She’s able to find out what their needs are and articulate them in a way that enhances their lives.”
Mary said it wasn’t easy leaving her former location at 3790 Via De La Valle because she had gained such a loyal clientele there. But after a quarter of a century (and a long lease), she saw it as a good time to transition. “I didn’t think I would end up on Cedros. I was thinking ‘There’s a lot going on here. Do they need another designer?’” she said. “But the timing was just right. It’s a smaller store than what I’m used to. But in this economy, that’s OK.” Polo Bay Interiors designs and remodels rooms from the ground up, facilitating every step of the planning and construction. Kitchens and bathrooms are common, but Mary says she specializes in anything clients need to make their homes more comfortable — “Our homes are everything to us,” she said. “I don’t just sell people things. It’s quite a project when you are in their home and I guide them through the whole process,” she said. “I do a lot of hand-holding.” As ASID president, Mary said she is not only planning leadership and educational events, but she is also advocating to government officials that inte-
rior design should be a licensed field, just like other contractors in the construction industry. The group has hired a lobbyist and other states are passing similar measures, she said. “There is so much to interior design besides makes things pretty,” Mary said. “[Licensing] would protect everyone, and help us stand behind what we do.” Mary’s tireless efforts have been an inspiration in the life of her daughter, Kelli Barrett, who has followed in her mother’s footsteps and also become an interior designer. “At home we are always talking shop,” said Joe. “We are always watching Home and Garden TV.”

Tres Borrachos, who hadn’t won a race in more than two years, sweeps by favored Kevlar Kid en route to a 1 1/4-length victory in the San Diego Handicap (Grade II) on July 30 at Del Mar racetrack. The 6-year-old gelding, whose name means “three drunks” in Spanish, finished the 1 1/16mile race in 1:42.71 over the Polytrack surface. Kevlar Kid held on for second place by a head over Spurrier. Tres Borrachos was ridden by Rafael Bejarano; he is trained by Marty Jones and owned by George Hicker. With his victory in this ‘Win and You’re In’ challenge race, Tres Borrachos is guaranteed a starting spot in the Breeders’ Cup Dirt Mile (Grade I) in November at Churchill Downs in Kentucky.

Who are the top three friends you’d call if your life fell apart today? That’s the question authors Diane Gage Lofgren and Margaret Bhola ask in their just-finished book, “Women I Want to Grow Old With.” Making sure women have friends when they need them the most is the theme of a talk the authors will give at 5 p.m., on Thursday, Sept. 1, at the Women’s Museum of California, located in San Diego at 2323 Broadway, Suite 107. “As women get busy with their lives, families and careers, it’s easy to put off making new friends and investing in long-term relationships,” says Lofgren. “Then, when life changes – be it a move, job change, empty nest, retirement or the passing of a partner, women often discover that don’t have the safety net of close friends and confidants to turn to, that they wish they had. Our
message to women of all ages is to be intentional about making and keeping friends throughout their lives.” At the event, authors and speakers Lofgren and Bhola will help women realize that a strong circle of female friends fills unspeakable voids, provides certainty in an uncertain time, and offers a protective network of love. They will share the deep personal experiences that triggered them each to realize how much they wanted and needed girlfriends in their lives. The authors’ blog, Women I Want to Grow Old With and Facebook page of the same name are filled with insights and tips for enhancing female friendships. Seating is limited for this one-hour interactive session, which will be filmed for future use. For reservations or more information, call the Museum at 619-233-7963.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS V’s Barbershop offers quality service with a community feel tist,” he said with a smile in an e-mail. “Once I experienced a truly enjoyable barbershop, I was hooked,” he added. “So I searched and searched — and unfortunately (or fortunately) could not find a quality place/experience anywhere locally. My business mind kicked in, and I knew that opening a V’s (franchise) here would be a great thing, both for the local residents and the local community.” As the owner of V’s in Del Mar, Barber Rob Milstead, left, and V’s McDaniel focuses Barbershop owner Scott McDaniel, right, with a young customer. on customer service, business de- Photo courtesy of Scott McDaniel velopment and sweeping the floor. There are five barbers on staff — male and female — and several have both barber and cosmetology backgrounds. “We try to make sure every customer is perfectly matched with the right barber,” McDaniel said. V’s Barbershop’s signature services include haircuts and
styles, shaves and facial massages. The first five minutes a customer spends with the barber involves a consultation, discussing styles, so the barber can give the client exactly what he wants. “The haircuts here are what really show our commitment to service — they take typically 30 minutes and everyone includes a hot-lather neck shave and hot towel shoulder massage,” McDaniel said. “It really is relaxing, plus you look great afterward.” The most popular package is “The Works,” which includes a haircut, shampoo/conditioner treatment and a hot towel, hot-lather shave. It takes about an hour, he said. The shaves at V’s are a 21-step process that involves five hot towels, multiple applications of crémes and skin conditioners, then applying hot lather and a “sure hand” with the straight razor (two separate passes) to get a smooth finish, McDaniel said. A skin moisturizer, conditioner and cold towel are applied at the end. “All of our services have a ‘little something extra’ that makes the overall V’s experience just that ... an ‘experience,’ ” McDaniel said. “We’re not a quick cut ‘chop shop’ or a ‘salon’ or a ‘unisex, all for one’ place, we’re an old-school barbershop with great traditional services in a progressive, masculine environment.” Haircuts cost $25 and shaves are priced at $30; packages run from $55 to $80. Discounts are offered to fathers/sons/ grandfathers who get a haircut together. Hours are from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays. Appointments are recommended, but walk-ins are welcome, as well. McDaniel indicated that mornings are usually less busy than the afternoons. For more information or to make an appointment, call (858) 481-4321. V’s Barbershop is also online at http://vbarbershop.com/locations/del-mar.

BY KELLEY CARLSON CONTRIBUTOR It seems as if the new V’s Barbershop in Del Mar has created some buzz. “We’ve had great traffic and growth, and we’re finding that a vast majority of our customers like calling in advance and making appointments,” owner Scott McDaniel said. “We’ve had quite a few ‘sold-out’ days already. We’re also exploring the possibility of online booking in the future. Our business has grown month over month, and we’re proud to say we’re over 50 percent repeat business on a daily basis. People really enjoy their experience; they come back as regulars and are telling their friends.” Open since the end of March, the V’s location at 2683 Via de la Valle, Suite H, in the Del Mar zip code area just east of I-5, is the first in San Diego County. The chain has 14 locations throughout the country, with a 15th expected to open soon in Joplin, Mo. McDaniel said that “luckily” for his customers, he does not get “behind the chair and perform any of the actual services.” His background is mostly in the video game industry, having spent more than 19 years in sales, marketing and management roles at software companies such as Extent Technologies and Sony Online Entertainment. The L.A. native has a degree in business management from Pepperdine University, and moved to Del Mar in 2000. In 2002, McDaniel was vacationing in Phoenix when some friends of his took him to V’s Barbershop for “The Works” (shave, haircut, shampoo and conditioner). “I fell in love with the service, the style and the locals/ community feel of the place,” he said. “The conversations were engaging, the place had a really masculine feel, and the service was great. It wasn’t just the haircut — my wife liked that — but the whole experience that really sold me. Up till then, I was your typical midcareer man who viewed getting a haircut as a chore — kind of like going to the den-

Parent Participation Pre-school educates parents, too BY DIANE Y. WELCH Contributor For almost 50 years the Parent Participation Pre-school has not only provided an affordable child-centered, learn-through-play program for 3- and 4- year-olds, but has also educated parents about early childhood development. Offered through the San Dieguito Adult School — part of the San Dieguito Union High School District — parents assist the teacher in the presentation of classroom activities in a fun and nurturing environment for their preschoolers. That sole teacher is Marcia Stanley, a Carmel Valley resident. Activities include art, music, story time, games, imaginative play, and kindergarten readiness skills. Parents participate a minimum of twice a month, but may do more, and attend monthly field trips and parent meetings. Because of this hands-on approach there are about four adults teaching 14-15 children. Most pre-schools may have 20 children and one teacher, said Stanley. “So we are able to do one-on-one instruction and really find out what makes each child tick. When you find that out, the teaching is easy.”

With so much close attention to each child there is an ability to individualize the program. “For example, if you have a boy who loves cars, you can take that knowledge and talk with him about colors of cars, makes of cars, sizes of cars,” Stanley explained. Learning is an outgrowth of each child’s natural curiosity. The school is known by those who attend as the Friendship School. “Parents find out at the beginning of the program that we stress how to get along. If you come to visit and ask the children
during circle time what that means to them, they will answer, ‘It means we share, we take turns, and we get along,’” Stanley explained. And children are encouraged to be self reliant, she added. Stanley has a bachelor’s degree in childhood development and social studies from San Diego State University, and a California teaching credential, and over the years has taught all grade levels. She is now in her 15th year with the pre-school program which suits her schedule as she is a swimming instructor from June
through August. Parents are guided by Stanley to help balance the social, emotional, physical and academic growth of each child. When not scheduled to work in the classroom they have a half hour window for drop-off and may talk to Stanley about their child. “Unlike other pre-schools we encourage interaction, we’re not rushing parents out of the door,” Stanley stressed. Most parents learn of the program by word of mouth and want to have a hand in their child’s early development. Kathy Ling is one such parent. “I wanted to find a co-op-type program so that I could take an active role in my daughter’s preschool education,” she said. “It also gave me an opportunity to get to know the kids in her class and become better acquainted with the parents, primarily the moms.” While working in the classroom, she was able to see first-hand the progress of the students. “At the end of the year it was nice to reflect on how far the kids had come. I was able to see how my daughter interacts with teachers, other parents, and her peers in school so I feel confident she is ready for kindergarten,” Ling explained. Historically, the program has
not had a permanent building, instead renting a variety of spaces over the past years. It is currently held in the Masonic Lodge in Cardiff. New parents are encouraged to visit the classroom before they sign up, even if school is not yet in session. “Then they may come back when the semester starts, bring their child, and meet the other children,” Stanley said.” It also offers the chance to determine whether the child is ready. We recommend that they are at least 3 years old and potty trained but there are some 2-and-a-half year olds that are ready, and they do fine. So we are very flexible.” The first semester (18 weeks) runs from September-January. The second semester runs from February -June. Children attend a Tuesday/Thursday class or a Wednesday/Friday class from 8:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. Children bring their own lunch. Mondays are reserved for a once-a-month field trip. Children may also attend four days per week. Registration is currently open for the first semester. New applicants should register at the Adult School office on the San Dieguito Academy campus.
