One Paseo meeting draws crowd BY JOE TASH CONTRIBUTOR A proposed mixed-use development for the last large, undeveloped parcel in the heart of Carmel Valley is already generating strong opinions by residents both for and against the project, although it remains uncertain when it will actually be built.

City gives Prop. C green light After a review, San Diego city staff has once again cleared Prop. C for take-off. In July, the city’s department of development services surprised the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board’s Prop C Working Group by telling them that Pacific Highlands Ranch could not build past 1,900 development units until SR-56 was widened — this coming on the heels of the passage of Prop C, which freed PHR’s development from waiting until the completion of the 56’s connectors with Interstate-5. The planning board objected to the 11th hour roadblock and the misunderstanding among city staff has now been resolved. “The main question was answered,” said Manjeet Ranu, planning board vice chair. “We don’t have to wait until 56 is widened and we can once again move forward. It’s unfortunate that we had a three-month delay but it’s better than a 30-year delay.” — Karen Billing

More than 100 people turned out Saturday morning, Sept. 24, for a special meeting of the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board, where representatives of Kilroy Realty laid out their vision for One Paseo, a project that would include retail shops and restaurants, office buildings, condominiums and apartments on a

23-acre parcel at the corner of Del Mar Heights Road and El Camino Real. Several dozen residents also filled out speaker slips to voice their opinion on the project, and speakers were about evenly divided between supporters and opponents. A group opposed to the project, What Price Main Street, made an orga-

International potluck

nized presentation. Those against the project were generally concerned with the density of the proposed development and the traffic it might generate, while supporters said the community needs the type of focal point – and local shopping and entertainSee PASEO, Page 6

History textbook free of bias, state claims BY MARSHA SUTTON SENIOR EDUCATION WRITER A complaint objecting to the representation of Islam in the seventh-grade history textbook in use by the San Dieguito Union High School District was rejected Sept. 1 by the California Department of Education, after the CDE sent the complaint to the textbook’s publishers for review. Thomas Adams, director of the standards, curriculum frameworks, and instructional resources division of the CDE, notified SDUHSD superintendent Ken Noah that the publishers of “World His-

tory – Medieval to Early Modern Times” – published by Holt, Rinehart and Winston – reviewed the objections point by point and determined that changes were not needed. “The publisher responded at length to the allegations of inaccuracy included in the complaint,” Adams wrote to Noah. “After reviewing the contents of the original criticisms and the publisher’s response, we have determined that there is no need to change current materials.” “We’re disappointed, [but] it’s not unexpected,” said Michael Hayutin who, with colleagues Linda Sax and James See TEXTBOOK, page 6

Depositions allowed in lawsuit against Del Mar school district Carmel Creek Elementary School held an international potluck Sept. 23, featuring special performances, including a traditional clothing parade as part of a very eventful day. Also, all new families received a flower. At the event: (Above) Vivian Ye, Huining Liang and (right) Matthew Quinn and Coco. See page B8. Photos: Jon Clark

BY MARSHA SUTTON SENIOR EDUCATION WRITER Over the defendant’s objections, a judge ordered at a hearing held Aug. 19 that depositions could be taken of former Del Mar Union School District board members Steven McDowell and Annette Easton, in the case of Sharon McClain vs. the DMUSD. Other rulings overturned DMUSD’s objections to providing documents and

interrogatory responses to former DMUSD superintendent McClain. Attorney Dale Gronemeier, who represents McClain in her case against the school district for wrongful termination, called it a very successful hearing. “We’re starting to get the information we need,” Gronemeier said. “I think we have broken down an approach to the litigation where the other side was See LAWSUIT, Page 19

Plans continue for St. Garabed Church on El Camino Real

BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board received an update at its Sept. 22 meeting on the progress of St. John Garabed Armenian Church planned for El Camino Real on the vacant land right behind the new Evangelical Formosan Church. Marcela Escobar-Eck, of the Atlantis Group, said that the project has just received its first round of comments from the city and they plan to resubmit by the end of the year. Several congregation members attended the meeting to show support for the new church. St. Garabed’s plan is for four buildings on the 13.3-acre site, including a 350-seat sanctuary, an 18,090-square-foot social hall, an 11,010-square-foot library and cultural education center, and a 13,840-square-foot youth center and gym. Armenian churches are known as some of the oldest in history, Escobar-Eck said, as they were the first nation to adopt Christianity. Characteristics of Armenian churches include a pointed dome and emphasis on height, rather than width. The project will not ask for any height variances –the church sanctuary will be 93 feet tall to the top of the cross. Allowed height goes up as setbacks increase and with

the setbacks the church has they would be allowed another 14 feet in height they will not take. Escobar-Eck said that they have met with the San Dieguito River Park and the wildlife agencies due to issues with the nearby Multiple Habitat Protection Area, a wildlife corridor and the entrance to Gonzales Canyon. To limit development in that area, Escobar-Eck said they are working on getting an easement for an access road right after the Formosan Church, which would eliminate the need for an entrance to the church near the sensitive habitat and wildlife corridor. Without the road there, Escobar-Eck said they might be able to revegetate the area. Access to the site remains one of the most challenging issues, she said—it’s on a curve on the newly widened El Camino Real. “The Stallions Crossing signal has made a difference, it gives people more of a break,” said Escobar-Eck of a traffic light at the top of the hill for drivers headed north on El Camino Real. Board member Dave McIntyre said that the signal is infrequent and that cars are still going through that area at upward of 60 miles per hour.

Sandy Lane development approved The board approved the 10-home Sandy Lane development with a 12-1 vote. The new development is planned for south of SR-56, along Rancho Santa Fe Farms Road. Mark Perlman, of the Marker Company, came back to the board with changes requested at a previous meeting: They added a small pocket park to give children a place to play and removed a perimeter wall, in the spirit of Pacific Highlands Ranch’s goal to avoid closed loop subdivisions. The development will have four floor plans, no parking in the interior streets and some homes will have frontage on Rancho Santa Fe Farms Road for a more open feel. Board Vice Chair Manjeet Ranu made it

a condition of the board’s approval to use more inviting materials than asphalt on the community’s interior streets, such as pavers or scoured colored concrete. Perlman said they would work something into the plan— they avoided using pavers to make it easier for kids to ride on with their skateboards or scooters. The sole vote against the project was member David Bartick, who didn’t like the fact that the project doesn’t have interior parking, forcing visitors to park on the street. — reported by Karen Billing

Number of feet planned for Via de la Valle widening reduced

Scream Zone 14 opens Sept. 30 The 14th annual Scream Zone, San Diego County’s largest haunted experience, opens Sept. 30 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. For more information, visit www.thescreamzone.com.

BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER Members of the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board celebrated a small victory on Thursday, Sept. 22, when they heard that while they won’t be able to stop the planned 2013 widening of Via de la Valle, they did play a role in reducing the number of feet the road will be expanded. The widening that will take place along the stretch of Via de la Valle that runs from San Andres Drive to El Camino Real, will now mean a total width of 60 feet, down from the original proposal

of 78 feet. Jan Fuchs, co-chair of the regional issues subcommittee, was pleased with the news that the width would be reduced, a change that board members had fought for five years—their persistence paid off, she said. Board member Anne Harvey said the narrower road was a win to preserve more of the landscape in the sensitive area. “I hope we’ll all be grateful for decades,” Harvey said. Craig Kahlen, of Rick Engineering, presented the update on the project to the board, along with Dale

Greenhalgh of Black Mountain Ranch, LLC. Greenhalgh said that discretionary approval for the project should happen in the first part of 2012, with the bids and permitting process to follow. They hope to kick off the construction in early 2013 and it may take up to 18 months to complete. Kahlen said they were able to accomplish a 60-foot curb- to-curb widening by narrowing traffic lanes and reducing the medians that are normally 14 feet to 4 feet. See WIDENING, page 20

New SDPD Northwestern Captain hopes to help keep officers fit with ‘San Diego’s Finest CrossFit’ BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER Captain Lori Luhnow has been at her new home at the San Diego Police Department’s Northwestern Division since July and had her eye on doing some home improvement since she first spotted the empty garage in the back of the station. A devoted athlete and fitness buff, Luhnow hopes to convert the empty garage into San Diego’s Finest CrossFit by Oct. 1. She may need some help getting equipment for the space, relying on donations, but it will become a CrossFit affiliate even if she has to drag over equipment from her personal home gym. “(Fitness) is so critical for what we do…in our profession you don’t know what you’re going to come up against on a daily basis,” Luhnow said. Luhnow discovered CrossFit in Coronado three and a half years ago. The strength and conditioning program was founded in 1995 by Greg Glassman (who recently bought a home in Carmel Valley) and Lauren Jenai. The first CrossFit gym opened in Santa Cruz and has grown to include 25,000 affiliates all over the world—locally there are affiliates in Solana Beach, Encinitas and Sorrento Valley. At CrossFit Coronado, the program was run by a pair of Navy Seals and the whole concept clicked for Luhnow: constant stimulation, challenge and change. “I will never do anything else because it just fills every purpose,” said Luhnow. “It’s constantly varied, involving functional movements at high intensity.” To achieve that high intensity, the program involves weight lifting, gymnastics movements (like calisthenics and body supported work) and cardio endurance like running, cycling or jumping rope. To round out Northwestern’s CrossFit facility they will need anywhere from $5,000 for the minimum amount of equipment to $10,000 for the “Cadillac” version of CrossFit. Luhnow aims to get barbells with bumper plates, kettle bells,

Northwestern Captain Lori Luhnow and the spare garage she will convert into San Diego’s Finest CrossFit. Photo/Karen Billing Concept2 rowing machines, squat racks, pull up bars, jump ropes, medicine balls and pylometric-boxes—she’s already got some spare wood to fashion their own. Ideally, they’d like to have enough equipment for 10 people to be working out at the same time before or after their shifts. Luhnow has been part of the police department for 23 years. She describes herself as “ultra competitive” and was San Diego’s first female motor officer. “Obstacles are mere hurdles and that’s the mindset I have. I have a can-do attitude, I believe in win-win situations, there’s no quitting,” she said. Luhnow spent her last three years working as the director of the Family Justice Center and running the domestic violence unit. “I think everyone in law enforcement should have the opportunity to work in an environment like that,” Luhnow said.

She said so much of their job involves putting away the “bad guys” but that doesn’t always solve the problem. Working with other social agencies and resources, like she did at the Family Justice Center, she felt she was truly able to help people. Becoming a captain was Luhnow’s “ultimate career goal”; she always wanted her own station and is thrilled to have the authority to implement a program like CrossFit that she believes will make a positive difference. Sports and fitness are a passion for Luhnow, in fact, it’s what brought her to San Diego. Luhnow played volleyball for UC San Diego and was a part of three national championship teams. “Athletics has been very good to me,” Luhnow said. “Obviously with our profession that requires the need to be ready for the unknown and all the stressors we incur; fitness and exercise should be advocated for.” There are no fitness standards for officers past the police academy, although it’s every officer’s responsibility to stay in the shape anyway they can, she said. As with anyone, it can be difficult to fit exercise into a busy day—officers often work 10-hour shifts, have long commutes to stations and have to balance family commitments in the time they have off. “We do have gyms at the stations but there’s no program that really brings people together and encourages exercise,” Luhnow said. CrossFit would do both of those things—bringing officers from all over San Diego to Northwestern to work out together and get them as fit as they can be to deal with the everyday unexpected. If interested in donating to San Diego’s Finest CrossFit, contact the San Diego Police Foundation at 858-453-5060 or www.sdpolicefoundation.org.

Is San Diego ready for prime time? UC San Diego’s Walshok hopes new forum will showcase assets BY JOE TASH Contributor Organizers hope a forum of ideas planned for next month, featuring luminaries in technology, energy and health, will become an annual tradition and raise San Diego’s profile as a hub for research and innovation. Mary Walshok The first-ever “The Atlantic Meets The Pacific,” a joint venture of The Atlantic magazine and UCSD, will run Oct. 17-19, with the primary venue being the Scripps Seaside Forum at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. “San Diego is a center of gravity in a lot of research and intellectual arenas that are reshaping the world we live in, but it’s still known around the United States as a Navy town,” said Mary Walshok, UCSD vice chancellor and dean of the UCSD Extension. “This is an opportunity for leadership from corporations, foundations and the media to get introduced to all the assets that are here.” “It’s a moment in time when we’re ready for prime time. I think this is going to contribute enormously to how we think about ourselves as well as how others think about us,” she added. Speakers will be interviewed on stage by writers and editors from The Atlantic, such as correspondent James Fallows and editor-inchief James Bennet. About 250 people are expected to attend. Bennet, who has held the post of editor-in-chief of The Atlantic since 2006 and previously worked as a reporter and bureau chief for The New York Times, said he and the speakers prepare for the interviews in advance, but such conversations can take surprising twists and turns, especially when questions from the audience are thrown into the mix. “There’s an element of performance to it. The audience wants to have their own thinking provoked and they want to be entertained. They don’t want a stilted conversation, they want a real conversation,” said Bennet. The conversation should also contain flashes

of humor and be accessible to those who aren’t experts in the speakers’ field, he said. Among the speakers will be Elon Musk, founder of Paypal and current CEO Deepak Chopra of Tesla Motors and SpaceX; physician and author Deepak Chopra; physicist and author Leonard Mlodinow; Twitter cofounder Evan Williams; and computer game design pioneer and Sims creator Will Wright. Bill Richardson, former New Mexico governor and Clinton Administration energy secretary, and John Reed, president and CEO of San Diego’s Sanford Burnham Medical Research Institute will also speak, according to the AtlanticLIVE website. Ira Magaziner, who became the senior adviser for policy development for President Clinton, especially as chief healthcare policy adviser, was added to the program on Monday. He now serves as chairman of the William J. Clinton Foundation’s international development initiatives. Bennet will talk with Chopra and Mlodinow about their new book, “War of the Worldviews: Science vs. Spirituality,” a collection of essays on such topics as the origin of the universe, the nature of time, what makes us human and whether God is real or an illusion. Chopra and Mlodinow first met in a televised Caltech debate on “the future of God,” and have since sparred a number of times on themes related to God and science. Bennet said he also wants to raise the topic of alternative medicine. In addition to the interview sessions, participants will tour research labs at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UCSD’s Calit2 digital media program, the Moores Cancer Center and Sanford-Burnham institute. The final day of the event will take place at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies. Bennet and his colleagues hope to come away with story ideas for The Atlantic’s magazine and website. “We are beneficiaries as well as participants in these events,” he said. AtlanticLIVE runs similar events each year in Aspen, Colorado, and Washington, D.C. Participating in such events, especially in

a beautiful setting like La Jolla, “gets you out of your rut and exposes you to a lot of different ideas. It’s like a kind of intellectual vacation.” The Atlantic Meets the Pacific Elizabeth Baker event Keffer came out of a meeting between Elizabeth Baker Keffer, president of AtlanticLIVE, and UCSD’s Walshok. Elon Musk AtlanticLIVE was interested in establishing a West Coast event to complement the James Bennet Aspen and Washington, D.C., forums, and found UCSD to a be a “perfect match” for an event tied to technology, health and energy, Baker Keffer said. “This program we think will be truly unique,” said Baker Keffer. She said AtlanticLIVE is already looking at dates and program ideas for next year’s event, which could be expanded to include a weekend, giving out-of-town visitors more time to explore San Diego. AtlanticLIVE is offering a promotional registration fee of $237.50 for readers of this newspaper, well below the $1,500 registration fee. To register go to http://theatlantic.actevapsn.com/.

TEXTBOOK continued from page 1 Freedman, filed the initial complaint. “They’re hardly going to admit that they have errors.” Noah received the complaint last December and forwarded it to the CDE in March 2011. Hayutin, Sax and Freedman asserted that the textbook portrayed Islam inaccurately or incompletely and, in a 21-page report that Hayutin said took nearly a year to write, cited 22 points in the textbook as problematic. The publishers addressed each of the 22 points in their letter to the CDE, responding to objections raised in the Hayutin report that were reproduced in the letter in paraphrased or edited form. They defended the textbook’s contents for a number of reasons: out of respect for beliefs of other students, the complaints were subjective, complete

Carmel Valley coverage of the issue was limited by textbook space restrictions, California state standards needed to be strictly adhered to, age-appropriateness of seventhgraders was a consideration, and providing more details would be “beyond the scope of a brief historical survey.” Each point was rejected save one: the publishers agreed with the Hayutin team on one question on Sharia, the religious law of Islam. An on-line question in the textbook currently indicates that the statement “Sharia is the law in Muslim countries today” is false. Hayutin objected to this, saying that Sharia law is practiced in whole or in part in many Islamic countries. The publishers agreed that the assertion was not false and recommended rewriting the statement to read: “Sharia is the law in ALL Muslim countries today.” This, they wrote, would make it “a stronger

‘not correct’ answer.” “They did concede on that one issue because it was so blatant,” Hayutin said. “They basically admitted they’ve got to change the Internet answer because the answer said Sharia is not being practiced anywhere in the world.” Hayutin rejected the publishers’ defense that providing more in-depth information would be inappropriate for students as young as seventh-graders. “That’s a convenient excuse that the poor little ones can’t hear about Muslim abuse,” he said. “But … they have no problem whatsoever if Americans or Christians have committed some atrocities. The kids can hear all about that.” The issues are “clear and so obvious historically,” he said. “The bottom line is the only reason they’re doing this is they’re afraid to offend.” Tehseen Lazzouni, director of the Islamic Speaker’s Bureau of San Diego, said she had not yet seen the letter from the CDE but was “very pleased that they came up with this deci-

sion.” “My feeling in general was that the textbook was very reasonable in its presentation about Islam and Muslims, and I had full faith that the people evaluating it had the knowledge and the background to be able to make this determination,” she said. Noah said the decision was not surprising. “I expected that their conclusions would be what they were, although they were far more thorough than I had anticipated,” he said, referring to the point-bypoint rebuttal. Noah said he agreed that some of the allegations were subjective, were beyond the scope of the state history standards for seventh grade, or were age-inappropriate. He said he supported the CDE’s decision. Next steps Adams said in his letter that textbooks are reviewed by classroom teachers, administrators and experts with advanced degrees in their subject areas before they are recommended for approval by the state board

of education and for adoption by school districts. This particular textbook was adopted in 2005, Adams said. The next review of history-social sciences textbooks had been scheduled for 2011, but legislative action in 2009 suspended this process until 2013. “I don’t think these people have bad motives,” Hayutin said. “I just don’t think that they think it’s important enough.” Hayutin is the San Diego chapter leader of ACT for America, whose stated mission, according to its Web site, is to “inform, educate and mobilize Americans regarding the multiple threats of radical Islam.” Hayutin said he will present his point of view at the state level at the next textbook review cycle, but does not expect that to be any time soon. In the mean time, he said he and his colleagues will “do our best to get the information to as many parents as we can” and will apply political pressure on California legislators. “What we’d ideally like

unto itself.” Before the vision can be realized, however, the developer must seek approval from the local planning board, the San Diego Planning Commission and, ultimately, the San Diego City Council. The next major step in the approval process will be the release of a draft environmental impact report, which will include a detailed traffic study, for review and comment by the public. Little said the environmental documents are currently under review by city staff, and he is not sure when they will be made public, although he hopes the draft EIR will be released by the end of the year. Bob Fuchs, with the What Price Main Street group, said the developer’s tactic in promoting the project is “accentuate the positive and obscure the negative.” The property is currently zoned for 500,000 square feet of office space, and the developer seeks to nearly quadruple allowable construction on the site, which could cause traffic jams and parking problems on surrounding streets and dwarf nearby development, Fuchs said. “It will be superimpos-

ing a UTC (University Town Center) or downtown density on Carmel Valley,” Fuchs said. “I don’t think anyone can deny there’s going to be more traffic, more noise and more pollution” if the project is built, said resident Gene Helsel. Jerry Mailhot, who earlier this year helped launch a website opposed to the project, also questioned the amount of development planned for the site. “You just can’t put 20 pounds of sand in a 10-pound bag,” he said. Others, though, said the project is just what Carmel Valley needs. “After seeing that presentation I can’t believe anyone is against the project, there’s something for everyone,” said Sharon Fornaciari. Lois Leslie, who described herself as a working parent, said the project is needed to increase shopping options for her family. “Spending precious weekend hours away from our families for basic shopping has been a real frustration.” And Mike Reidy said he would have preferred more density, rather than less. “I’m for it. I’m sick of driving to Encinitas, I’m sick of driving to UTC. Let’s get it done,” he said.

ment options – the project would provide. Bob Little, Kilroy’s vice president for development, said the company has conducted hundreds of research interviews over the past three years with residents and other “stakeholders,” and what they often heard was, “the community was lacking a place to gather… it was lacking a heart.” Project architect Howard Elkus outlined a proposal for a vibrant development with a central “Main Street” corridor lined with shops, restaurants and a cinema, anchored by a landscaped plaza with a large lawn where people could relax. At the south end of the development would stand two office buildings and an underground parking garage, while at the north end, along Del Mar Heights Rd., would be 608 apartments and condominiums. The project has many access points from the surrounding streets, Elkus said. “It’s not just that you can get there from here, you can see in and understand what’s happening inside,” Elkus said. “We’re not creating an island or a fortress

to do is get a state senator to hold hearings and get experts up there before the Senate,” he said. “I have a list of reformist Muslims who agree with us 100 percent. They are out there and there’s more than a few.” He said he hopes to encourage them to come forward and speak publicly about the issue. “We’ll do what we can do,” Hayutin said. “We’re basically three individuals trying to make some kind of a difference in this.” “I think the California Department of Education made the right decision to keep the textbook as is,” Lazzouni said in an email. “I am sure they reviewed the criticisms in light of history and the California history-social science content standards.” Noah said the CDE would be the agency responsible for making additions, deletions or corrections in textbooks, not individual school districts. In light of the CDE’s decision, he said the district will continue as before, using the seventh-grade textbook as is.

As proposed, the Kilroy project would contain 270,000 square feet of retail, including a 50,000-squarefoot cinema; 515,000 square feet of corporate office space; 26,000 square feet of small professional office space; and approximately 900,000 square feet of residential, which includes 608 condos and apartments, and a 150-room hotel. The Del Mar Highlands shopping center, which is across the street, has 278,000 square feet of retail. Little said it is misleading to compare the project’s entire square footage with a commercial development such as UTC, because more than half of the One Paseo development is residential. “It’s like comparing apples to oranges,” he said. The One Paseo project, he said, is an example of compact development, a concept embraced by contemporary planners as an antidote to traffic-generating urban sprawl.

New lieutenant at SDPD Northwestern Division BY KAREN BILLING STAFF WRITER Carmel Valley’s San Diego Police Department Northwestern Division has yet another new lieutenant, Lt. Andrew Hoffman. Hoffman has 25 years of experience in the police department and most recently worked in the Eastern and MidCity Divisions. Hoffman is Carmel Valley’s third new lieutenant this year— former Lt. Todd Jarvis was reassigned in July. Jarvis took over for Lt. Jerry Mills in February and Mills had only been at the station for about a month. “There’s been so much movement up here and that’s a source of frustration for the community,” said Hoffman, who noted that the division wants there to be stability as much as the community does. There has been almost the same amount of changeover in the position of captain. In July, Captain Lori Luhnow took over for Captain Albert Guaderrama who was only in Carmel Valley for seven months after taking over for Captain Miguel Rosario. After introducing himself at the Sept. 22 Carmel Valley Community Planning Board meeting, Hoffman gave a brief quarterly crime report. Hoffman said that violent crimes in the city are down 42 percent from the same quarter last year and vehicle thefts are down 50 percent. There has been a 6 percent increase in commercial burglaries this quarter and Hoffman said a series of crimes were attributed to marijuana dispensaries, increasingly becoming targets of crime. There has also has been a 33 percent increase in juvenile offenses—a significant amount attributed to an incident involving a party bus without parental supervision.

Carmel Valley car wash robbed San Diego police were on the lookout this week for a heavyset man in his mid-20s who robbed a Carmel Valley car wash at gunpoint. The armed robbery, which took place at Del Mar Highlands Car Wash at 12889 El Camino Real, was reported at 8:48 p.m. on Tuesday, according to San Diego Police Officer Dino Delimitros. The gunman entered the business, took money from a cash register and left, Delimitros said. He took off on foot. Police described him as a Hispanic man in his mid-20s, about 5 feet 7 and 250-300 pounds, last seen wearing a black pinstripe shirt and black pants. — City News Service

Fairgrounds ramp study would cost $1 million BY CLAIRE HARLIN Staff Writer An environmental analysis, the necessary next step in the process of exploring the idea of a direct-access ramp to the Del Mar Fairgrounds, would cost $1 million, Del Mar City Councilman Marc Filanc said Sept. 23. The ramp, a traffic-relieving measure, would be built in conjunction with the upcoming Interstate 5 widening project, set to begin in 2013. Filanc said he met with District 1 City Councilwoman Sherri Lightner, who said the City of San Diego does not have any funding it could contribute, and suggested the fairgrounds commit money to the process. Filanc said he also met recently with the San Diego Association of Governments (SANDAG), which could potentially be a source of funding. Despite the high cost and lack of funding, Filanc said the idea of a direct-access ramp is “not a done deal.” He said that even if an environmental analysis is performed, it might reveal that a ramp is not the best solution to relieve the fairgrounds’ overwhelming traffic issues. “But we’ll never know unless we pursue this further,” he said.

Lawsuit reveals possible suspect in suspicious death BY JOE TASH CONTRIBUTOR Documents filed in a lawsuit over nearly $3 million in life insurance policies held by a North County veterinarian who died last year under suspicious circumstances reveal his widow is a potential suspect in the murder investigation by San Diego County sheriff’s detectives. Through the court documents, the widow, Pamela Stonebreaker, denied any involvement in her husband’s death. Dr. Robert Stonebreaker, 53, was found dead in the driveway of a Rancho Santa Fe home on Jan. 17, 2010. The night before, California Highway Patrol officers had found Stonebreaker’s Porsche Carrera a short distance away from where his body was discovered, after it has plunged off Paseo Delicias into a gully. The CHP officers found no driver present, or any sign that someone had been injured, and had the car towed. At first, authorities believed Stonebreaker, who was well-known in North County because of his Del Mar Animal and Bird Hospital and FreeFlight exotic bird sanctuary, had died from injuries he suffered in the car crash. But an autopsy determined his death was caused by head injuries inconsistent with a traffic collision, and the case was ruled a homicide. Stonebreaker’s widow, Pamela Stonebreaker, sued three life insurance companies in March, seeking payment of $2,775,000 in proceeds from life insurance policies purchased by her husband. In court documents, Western Reserve Life Assurance Co. of Ohio cited a California law, nicknamed the “Slayer Statue,” as grounds for withholding payment to Pamela Stonebreaker. The other two companies are the Guardian Life Insurance Co. America and Union Security Insurance Co. The case was originally filed in San Diego Superior Court and later transferred to federal court. Under the Slayer Statute, “a named beneficiary of a life insurance policy who feloniously and intentionally kills the person upon whose life the policy is issued is not entitled to any benefit under the policy,” said the document. The document states, “Petitioner has been informed by the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department that Decedent’s surviving spouse, Pamela Stonebreaker, is a suspect in her husband’s murder.” Sgt. Roy Frank of the sheriff’s homicide unit said the case is being actively investigated as a homicide. “We know it’s not an accident. (Stonebreaker’s) injuries were not consistent with

a traffic accident.” Frank said he is cautious about using the word “suspect,” but that Pamela Stonebreaker is “a person that we have not ruled out among others.” “When we investigate crimes, we always look at associates and family members, someone who was in the area (at the time of the crime). We do it by a process of elimination and she has not been ruled out as of yet,” Frank said. Pamela Stonebreaker’s attorney, Nathan Arrington, declined to comment directly on the lawsuit, but directed a reporter to court documents, in which his client denies playing any part in her husband’s death. He said he has advised his client not to grant interviews because of the ongoing federal litigation. An affidavit filed in the case by Arrington notes that Stonebreaker purchased several life insurance policies years before his death, including Western Reserve, and named Pamela Stonebreaker as beneficiary. “The only pretext that Western has offered for withholding policy benefits is its accusation that Pam ‘might” haven been involved in the death of her husband. Western does not have a shred of evidence to support its accusation. That’s because it’s not true. If Western had bothered to conduct even a cursory investigation — such as interviewing percipient witnesses or reviewing telephone records and other documentary evidence — it would have discovered a mountain of evidence establishing that Pam had nothing to do with her husband’s death,” said the affidavit. “In her declaration, Pam states unequivocally that she did not kill her husband, she does not know who killed Bob or why he was killed, she had no involvement in Bob’s January 16, 2010 car accident, and she had no involvement in any of the circumstances that led to Bob’s death,” said the affidavit. The affidavit also includes a detailed timeline of Pamela Stonebreaker’s actions on Jan. 16 and 17, the day of her husband’s car crash and the following morning. According to that chronology, Pamela Stonebreaker was at home with her husband in the afternoon, and she left to pick up one of the couple’s three children at a friend’s house. Robert Stonebreaker was gone when she returned home, and according to the affidavit, the couple’s other daughter said her father did not tell her he was leaving. During the evening, said the court document, Pamela Stonebreaker tried unsuccessfully to reach her husband

on his cell phone, drove by an Encinitas sports bar that her husband sometimes frequented, and also went to the animal hospital in Del Mar to check on a dog that was not doing well. At 9:30 p.m., the time news accounts have reported Stonebreaker crashed his car, Pamela Stonebreaker was at the animal hospital, 7.6 miles from the accident site, said the affidavit. Pamela Stonebreaker returned home about 9:45, and called her sister, expressing concern that her husband had not returned home. At 5 a.m. Sunday, Pamela Stonebreaker left home with her son and daughter to attend her daughter’s volleyball tournament in Norwalk. The couple’s other daughter had spent the night with a friend. During the morning, Pamela Stonebreaker called her home, a neighbor and two hospitals in an effort to find her husband. Later in the day, while still at the volleyball tournament, she received a call from the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s office, informing her that her husband had died, said the affidavit.

Soldier Stories: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;All I wanted was a cool drink of waterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; This column presents soldier stories to provide readers insight into the lives of our countryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heroes. BY JEANNE MCKINNEY Contributor America was designed by its Founding Fathers to offer wellsprings of hope. Implanted deep in her history, are liberties and freedoms that foster American dreams, goals, and opportunities. I think of our soldiers as our most patriotic keepers of the wellsprings. They fiercely protect our nationâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s refreshing waters of hope. Hope is what Corporal Joseph Diomeade, a 3531 Motor T Operator with Combat Logistics Regiment 1, hung onto on Dec. 6, 2010. This tall, dark-haired Marine remembers the day clearly. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was a bad day for the whole platoon. We were on our way back from a Forward Operating Base (FOB) in Northern Helmand, Afghanistan, coming back down to Camp Leatherneck.â&#x20AC;? Diomeade was Vehicle Commander (VC) of the militaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newest defense against the metallic dragons of the desert â&#x20AC;&#x201D; hidden in the dirt and ready to deliver explosive destruction. His Mine Resistant Ambush Protected (MRAP) 7-ton truck was equipped with a 240 Bravo Medium machine gun, providing security for the convoy. The truck looks like something built to survive an alien attack. Three vehicles in front and behind his MRAP were strictly for transporting supplies â&#x20AC;&#x201C; with no offensive or defensive weapons. Outside the truck, it sounded like a cannon, magnified, when the dragon released its concussive power. Inside the armored shell, Diomeade vividly recalls, â&#x20AC;&#x153;It sounded like a loud clap. The truck shook and slammed to a halt â&#x20AC;&#x201D;the explosion blowing the front tires off its sled-like body, so the extended front axle dug in the ground like a spade.â&#x20AC;? It wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t until Diomeade saw the dust and smoke â&#x20AC;&#x201D; water bottles exploding, and his ears started ringing â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that he realized theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d been hit by an Improvised Explosive Device (IED), even though the truck ahead had gone safely over the same spot. The first thing Diomeade did was check on his Driver and then his Gunner, who stands with his head out of the truck. Diomeade recounts, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all pumped up, adrenaline rushing and weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re screaming at each other â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Whew! Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m feeling myself to make sure everything is still connected. Then right away I got on the radio, let my Convoy Commander know we got hit, saying â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to need a sweep team to come up and rescue us.â&#x20AC;? Later, they discovered a skid mark on the turret from a tire that blew off - missing his Gunnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s head by inches. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nobody got hurt, thank God.â&#x20AC;? I asked Diomeade how he kept his bearings. With tough resolve he offers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Goes down to the 14 leadership principles they learn from day one in Boot Camp. The phrase â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;JJ did tie buckleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; helps them remember Judgment, Justice, Decisiveness, Integrity, Dependability, Tact, Initiative, Enthusiasm, Bearing, Unselfishness, Courage, Knowledge, Leadership and Endur-

problem you have to deal with today, I think youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re leading a pretty good life.â&#x20AC;? Diomeade suggests. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t support the war â&#x20AC;&#x201D; support our troops. If you have the opportunity, take 10 seconds and give them a friendly handshake and a thank-you. Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d be surprised how it makes someoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day.â&#x20AC;? Driving in Motor T (transport) is a dangerous Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a far cry from Parkridge, New Jersey and Joeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s closely-knit Italian family he talks to every day he can. When he first came home and said â&#x20AC;&#x153;I signed the papersâ&#x20AC;? his dad realized his son wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t a boy anymore: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was a man making my own decisions.â&#x20AC;? He threw himself completely into the Marines. Trekking the mine-ridden roads of foreign lands, he has never looked back. Diomeade wears a bandana with a favorite Psalm written on it. He reads it before and after every mission. He remembers being asked by a shaken Marine who had just gotten blown up.â&#x20AC;?How do you get back in the truck?â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;You just kind of do it. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll pray with you real quick.â&#x20AC;? Diomeade collects Bibles from care packages and hands them out. For those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want a book, he offers this,â&#x20AC;? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll look out for you â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got your back. No worries.â&#x20AC;? People looking out for each other. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s great hope in that.

Joseph Diomeade ance.â&#x20AC;? Following those principles for over four years has helped Diomeade be a better leader, helps him maintain a combat stance, so when he gets blown up â&#x20AC;&#x201C; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x153;prepared and ready â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the chuteâ&#x20AC;? to engage in combat, and to do whatever he has â&#x20AC;&#x153;to do to protect his brothers and bring them safely home.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though the Mine Rollers and hand-held metal detectors sweep for IEDs multiple times, theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still not finding all of them,â&#x20AC;? Diomeade laments, â&#x20AC;&#x153;causing the pucker factor to kick in.â&#x20AC;? These buried destroyers â&#x20AC;&#x153;blow up when topical pressure forces two points of contact to meet and complete the circuitry. When a vehicle is hit, after 35-40 seconds, if there is no visual signal, you pull up and see whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going on. Outside the truck tracks, there can still be more pressure plates 6 inches one way or another.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Before the MRAP, we were still driving around unarmored Humvees. Trucks were getting hit with roadside bombs and cut in half or turned inside out.â&#x20AC;? MRAPs have knocked the casualties down. To Joseph, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s frustrating to fight an invisible enemy that hide their dragons of war night and day, â&#x20AC;&#x153;especially when you see your buddies get blown up â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you want to find out who did it. You can be in the middle of nowhere - no one around for miles. Even if we wanted to shoot at someone, we couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t because we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know who did it. These things might have been there forever. You get the rainy seasons passing, the wind and sandstorms â&#x20AC;&#x201D; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to cover up any trackâ&#x20AC;? that would warn of being near the metallic dragonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lair. Complicating the never-ending threat of IEDs, they are ambushed by small arms fire. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You have to respect the enemy as combatants. They are a lethal enemy. In the seven months we were there, we saw them progress from not being able to hit us from 100 meters with small machine guns and AK-47â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, to being able to hit us from 1000 meters.â&#x20AC;? Asking where the insurgents get the technology, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are some creative minds working for them that develop trigger mechanisms for the IEDs and the chemical makeup of the explosive.â&#x20AC;? Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re getting a great deal of help. IEDâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leave a trail of destruction, death, and sorrow for our soldiers and native Afghans. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These people â&#x20AC;&#x201C; theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re drinking

muddy water out of a river, making maybe $400 a year, eating half a bowl of rice a day.â&#x20AC;? They never know when death lurks under their feet. Fear and uncertainty overshadow hope.â&#x20AC;? Diomeade reminds us: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take anything for granted.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I was in Boot Camp, the only thing I wanted was to sit down with a cold glass of ice water. But for three months, I couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have that. We have Americans crying about a fancy car â&#x20AC;&#x201C; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the wrong color. If thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the worst

Local boys turn summer trip into ‘eye-opening’ service project BY CLAIRE HARLIN Staff Writer Two Del Mar boys learned over the summer that their home country is a far cry from the home they’ve grown to know. Born in Zimbabwe and raised in Del Mar, Zakary and Eli Collin visited the African nation for the first time this summer with their mother, Debra Jedeikin, also a Zimbabwe native. A cross between an educational family vacation and a service project, the trip was an opportunity for Zakary, a

ninth-grader at Canyon Crest Academy, to transport more than 100 pounds of school supplies to a Zimbabwe elementary school as part of a Bar Mitzvah philanthropy project. Eli, a seventh-grader at Earl Warren, accompanied his brother to Batanai Primary School, which Jedeikin said was so overcrowded that classes were being conducted outside. “The school was in dire need of all kinds of supplies, as are all schools in that country,” said Jedeikin, add-

ing that the students have only one school uniform each, that they must wash several times a week. “They were overjoyed and deeply appreciative of our donation.” Zakary collected the items, which included erasers, sharpeners, colored pencils, glue sticks and rulers, at his spring Bar Mitzvah, in which he asked his 200 guests to each bring a $5 item to donate to the cause. “A few of our dollars go a long way there. Ten dollars would buy a child’s food for a week.” said Jedeikin, whose family is in the process of setting up a foundation to sponsor African families and students attending college. Jedeikin, a local marriage and family therapist, said giving globally is something she wants her sons to understand, and that sentiment is what drove her family’s recent trip to Zimbabwe. “I want my children to see they can make a difference in a small but practical way,” she said. Eli, 11, said the trip made him more mindful and grateful. “Driving on the broken-

Zakary, 14, said being in a school that was so underprivileged was a “real eyeopening experience.” “It showed me how a school in a poorer, hardworking country can be like,” said Zakary, who moved from Zimbabwe to the United States when he was 3 years old. “I was inspired to give to this school

a number of our fine restaurants, along with selections from California wineries and breweries,” said Jen Grove, executive director of the Del Mar Village Association (DMVA), who has sponsored and organized the event with the support of the City of Del Mar. “There’s truly something for everyone, including the family pet,” said Grove. This year an added attraction is The Pet Stroll, with dog tastes and treats at the following locations: Smashburger, Frustrated Cowboy, Julie’s Beachwear, Willis Allen Real Estate, Dexter’s Deli, and Café Secret. “Each location will be identified on the event map that you will be given when you buy your ticket.

The Pet Stroll booth will be set up on 15th Street, near Americana and Jimmy O’s. “There will be a double booth here displaying some pet art and there will be give-aways like bandanas. What’s really new is that we’ll have a doggie photographer called the ‘Pupparrazi’ who will be roaming the event to take action shots of the dogs along the stroll,” said Grove.

Local residents/Realtors holding blanket drive for the homeless Coldwell Banker Carmel Valley Realtor Connie Cannon, as well as her daughter, Blair, a student at Torrey Pines High School, are conducting a “Blanket Drive for the Homeless” to collect blankets for the San Diego homeless. The blanket drive was inspired by Carlsbad Realtor Ashley Bedard, from Realty Executives, who said, “I was downtown [one winter] in Balboa Park, freezing, as I drove by what seemed like hundreds of homeless gathered together under the freeway bridge in attempt to keep warm. It broke my heart. Who am I to complain of being cold when I have blankets, sweaters, a roof over my head, and a heater to keep me warm.” For monetary donations, please make the check payable to Ashley Bedard and mail to Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Attn: Connie Cannon, 3810 Valley Centre Drive. Ste. 906 San Diego, CA 92130. If you do not have the monetary means to help, please feel free to donate gently used jackets, sweater, sleeping bags, or blankets would be greatly appreciated. Last year’s funds helped buy 600 tooth brushes and purchase more blankets for the homeless. Please call Connie Cannon for pick up or drop off (at Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage) at 858-354-5538. Visit www.conniecannonrealtor.com.

Researchers work to extend prostate cancer options BY LYNNE FRIEDMANN Contributor Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer in men. It will affect one in six U.S. men in their lifetime; African-American men are more than twice as likely to die from it. Diagnosis involves a simple blood test and, if caught early effective treatments are available. Yet only 36 percent of men, age 50 to 64, receive regular prostate cancer screening; compared to more than 70 percent of women, in the same age group, who receive regular mammogram screening for breast cancer, according to the American Cancer Society. While there are new drugs and more targeted therapy available than ever, basic research being done within labs in Torrey Pines Mesa may eventually lead to other forms of treatment and maybe even a vaccine. The chestnut-size prostate gland is part of the male reproductive system. The American Urological Association recommends that all men age 40 and over talk with their doctor about prostate cancer screening, particularly if there

is a family history of prostate cancer. Screening involves a blood test to measure PSA (prostate-specific antigen) levels together with a digital rectal exam. The good news is cancer caught before it has spread beyond the prostate gland can often be successfully treated

with surgery or radiation therapy. “Radiation can be made to conform to the shape of the tumor, allowing us to avoid damaging the bladder and colon,” said John P. Einck, M.D., assistant clinical professor, department of radiology, UCSD School of Medicine, in a public health seminar presented Sept. 13 at the UCSD Moores Cancer Center as part of Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. For more aggressive forms of prostate cancer, several new FDA-approved drugs shown to improve survival have recently come on the market. “There are more drugs available now than ever, with an additional 15 or 20 agents in the (drug-development) pipeline,” said Christopher J. Kane, M.D., F.A.C., professor of surgery/urology, and chief of urology at UCSD School of Medicine. In May, The Scripps Research Institute and the Moffitt Cancer Center (Tampa, Fla.) were awarded more than $2 million to study the origins of prostate cancer and the role that inflammation plays in tumor development and growth.

Researchers at the UCSD Moores Cancer Center hope to develop a low-cost immunotherapy for prostate carcinoma based on a decade of research that has shown the immune system’s “killer” Tcells — thought to recognize only peptides or pieces of proteins — can also recognize sugars on the surface of tumor cells. The next step is to utilize the T-cells’ recognition ability to attach and kill the cancer cell. “If ultimately proven successful, this could be used in a first attempt to try to address vaccination on a large scale to prevent cancer,” said immunologist Alessandra Franco, M.D., Ph.D., adjunct assistant professor of pediatrics at the UCSD School of Medicine in a news release announcing additional funding for the research. Some types of prostate tumors are more aggressive and more likely to metastasize than others. Nearly one-third of these aggressive tumors contain a small nest or else are entirely made up of especially

dangerous cells known as neuroendocrine-type cells. In July, a team of investigators at Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute reported the identification of a series of proteins that could provide doctors with an early warning sign for tumors that are likely to metastasize. “In identifying this protein pathway, we’ve identified new markers that can be used to distinguish the dangerous cells and find new targets for therapy,” according to Ze’ev Ronai, Ph.D., associate director of Sanford-Burnham’s National Cancer Institute-designated cancer center. Sanford-Burnham researchers also study the impact of nutrition on cancer using mass spectrometry to track stable isotopes incorporated into nutrients taken up and metabolized by cells. The result is a step-by-step snapshot of how cancer cells defy poor nutritional environments, what happens to the nutrients they take in, and

how to pinpoint and exploit vulnerabilities in cancer cells. While prostate cancer is a relatively common type of cancer in men, it tends to grow very slowly. This being the case, often the best course of action is simple observation, known as “active surveillance” without the surgery or radiation that can unnecessarily diminish the quality of life for men. “I can guarantee no side effects with active surveillance,” said J. Kellogg Parsons, M.D., M.H.S., associate professor of surgery, UCSD Medical Center. In March, a new clinical trial at UCSD Moores Cancer Center was launched. Known as the MEAL (Men’s Eating And Living) study, it is the first to evaluate whether lifestyle changes can delay the progression of prostate cancer. “We focus on more vegetables, less meat, and comprehensive counseling which encourages a more active lifestyle,” said J. Kellogg Parsons, M.D., M.H.S., urologic oncologist at the Moores Center. Lynne Friedmann is a science writer based in Solana Beach.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Pilates People offers top trainers and a variety of classes for all levels BY KELLEY CARLSON CONTRIBUTOR Husband and wife David and Doreen Hall form the core of Pilates People in Carmel Valley. The couple have been in business for 10 years, offering a variety of services that include Pilates training for all skill levels, physical therapy and acupuncture. Pilates is a system of exercises developed in the early 20th century by Joseph Pilates in Germany. The method is designed to strengthen and build control of muscles, especially those used for posture; it requires precise control of movements and awareness of breathing. It’s recommended that clients new to this discipline enroll in one-on-one classes “to get familiar with the concept of Pilates and the equipment,” Doreen said. “You will have a better outcome.” In addition to private lessons, duet classes are available by appointment, in which two people work with one instructor for a lower fee. Several group classes are offered daily, and because the class sizes are small — there’s an average of five to six people per session — sign-ups are required. The offerings cover the spectrum — on the gentler end, there’s I Love My Back, which emphasizes core strengthening without stress on the spine; yet there are also faster-paced, more intense classes with a “boot camp-inspired style,” Doreen said. And, of course, there are options at the intermediate level, as well. Some of the classes incorporate functional fitness training, in which people use their own body weight in upright positions through exercises that carry over into everyday life. New on the schedule is the Tone Teen and Core workout class, which is “designed from head to toe to work on common posture, strength and flexibility issues with teens, presented with fun music and in a light and friendly environment,” Doreen said. Along with these sessions, all of the trainers at Pilates Peo-

Pilates People provides top-level training. ple have the ability to work with women who are pregnant or in the post-partum stage, Doreen said. Class availability depends on the number of participants. There is a stigma in regards to men participating in the Pilates program, David acknowledged, but he added that a lot of professional athletes perform the exercises. “I work with a lot of high-level, athletic men; they gain huge benefits,” David said. The Halls also incorporate Pilates and its principles through Carmel Valley Physical Therapy, located in the same office as Pilates People. “We don’t use physical therapy aids, and therapists spend the whole time with the patient,” Doreen said. Between Pilates People and Carmel Valley Physical Therapy, there are 12 employees. “We have extremely high-caliber trainers,” David said. “We do a lot of additional education with them.” Doreen added that all of the physical therapists have more

than 10 years of experience. She herself has been in the field for more than 20 years, having graduated from Quinnipiac University in Hamden, Conn., in 1989 with a bachelor’s degree in physical therapy. After trying Pilates, Doreen said she realized “that it provided a forum for exactly what I was trying to do with my back stabilization patients, and I decided to incorporate it into my treatments. The results were so great that I eventually designed my whole practice around it (Pilates).” David’s experience with Pilates began about 15 years ago, as a graduate student studying exercise physiology at San Diego State University. He attended a sports medicine conference in Colorado with a professor and had an opportunity to tour a new Pilates studio in Denver. “The bells and whistles went off,” David said. Inspired by what he saw, David and Doreen decided to undergo training through Polestar Pilates. The Halls soon began teaching the exercises; Doreen worked in North County, while Dave was employed in La Jolla. When they finally decided to go into business together, the couple selected Carmel Valley as their ideal site: “We figured if it was a central location, our clients would come with,” Doreen said. Initially, they set up Pilates People on Carmel Country Road in 2001, but five years later, they expanded their services with Carmel Valley Physical Therapy and moved to the current location, at 4765 Carmel Mountain Road, Suite 202. “It’s a state-of-the-art facility and a beautiful space,” David said. “We have strong dedication. ... We bring new research, and we’re applying it to what we do.” Pilates People is open from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Friday, and 8 a.m. to noon Saturday. Go to www.pilatespeople.com or call (858) 847-0055. Carmel Valley Physical Therapy’s hours are from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday and 8 a.m. to noon Saturday.

Popular Knorr Candle Factory and retail shop for sale BY KELLEY CARLSON Contributor The Knorr Candle Factory and retail shop may be for sale, but the owner still has a burning desire to see the business continue. “I’d like to sell it to someone who will keep it going,” owner Steve Knorr said. “Hopefully, somebody will buy the place and keep it running just the way it is. That’s really my goal.” The 67-year-old believes the time has come for him to retire, and he doesn’t have anyone in the family to take over his role. “It’s a lot of work, even though it’s a wonderful place,” Knorr said. Knorr Candle Factory produces more than 1 million candles each year, according to Bob Angello, broker associate at Willis Allen Real Estate, who is handling the property’s sale. There are more than 3,000 candle models, in varying colors, sizes and shapes, Knorr added. The unique candles are created from pure beeswax; they are smokeless, dripless and burn twice as long as a standard candle, he said. The business has been in the Knorr family for sever-

al generations. Steve’s grandfather, Ferdinand Knorr, was a machinist and part-time beekeeper who immigrated to the U.S. from Poland in 1904. He came to San Diego in 1920, and moved to the San Dieguito River Valley six years later. In 1928, Knorr Candle Factory was established at 14906 Via de la Valle in Del Mar. Ferdinand established Knorr Beeswax Products Inc. in 1932 as an outgrowth of the then-existing business, producing candles, honeycomb foundation that speeds up the honey-making process, and sheets of wax used by candle-making hobbyists. In 1950, Ferdinand’s son Henry bought the company; Steve took over ownership from his father in 1985. Today, the Del Mar landmark has 20 employees, including Henry, who works in the beekeeping department. The candles can be found all over the world, including in high-end gift shops in places such as Beverly Hills and New York. The Knorr brand is even familiar in the White House; its candles decorated Christmas dinners for presidents Einsenhower and Clinton.

Despite the fact that Knorr Candle Factory has been on the market for several weeks, it is continuing to operate during its regular hours, and there is no goingout-of-business sale planned, Steve Knorr said. Five buildings totaling 10,000 square feet are part of the $5 million asking price: There’s the candle factory and retail shop, a showroom and offices, and a house and cottage. There are also two legal lots as part of the package — one is 2-anda-half acres and contains the structures; the other is 1 acre and vacant. In addition, there are two parking lots containing more than 50 spaces. “(The factory) is a neat atmosphere, a throwback to the early 1900s,” Angello said. Once the business is sold, Knorr acknowledged that it might be a bit of an adjustment. “I would have to get over the shock of not having to work,” he said with a laugh. “It might take a while.” But he indicated that he would probably adjust just fine by scuba diving and

The Knorr Candle Factory and retail shop spending time at the beach, along with traveling. Knorr hinted that he could possible stay involved in the business for a while, even after its sale, because there’s a learning curve with the machines and various other aspects of the company. He added that he hopes the buyer will keep a good portion of the employees, some of which have been

with the company for more than 30 years, since they’re “highly trained.” “The company is still doing well; it’s such a wellknown candle (brand),” Knorr said. For more information, contact Bob Angello, Willis Allen Real Estate, at (858) 775-9100, 1424 Camino del Mar, Del Mar; www.knorrbeeswax.com.

Guest editorial/Opinion: Where

newspapers thrive

At a time when doomsayers are predicting the death of traditional journalism, thousands of small-town weeklies are doing just fine, thank you.

Editor’s Note: This column first appeared in the Los Angeles Times on Sept. 13. It is reprinted with the permission of the author. BY JUDY MULLER We’ve been hearing a lot of depressing news in recent years about the dire financial prospects for big daily newspapers, including the one you’re now holding. Or watching. Or, in the argot of the digital age, “experiencing.” But at the risk of sounding like I’m whistling past the graveyard, I’d like to point out that there are thousands of newspapers that are not just surviving but thriving. Some 8,000 weekly papers still hit the front porches and mailboxes in small towns across America every week and, for some reason, they’ve been left out of the conversation. So a couple of years ago, I decided to head back to my roots, both geographic and professional (my first job was at a weekly), to see how those community papers were faring. And what I found was both surprising and inspiring. At a time when mainstream news media are hemorrhaging and doomsayers are predicting the death of journalism (at least as we’ve known it), take heart: The free press is alive and well in small

towns across America, thanks to the editors of thousands of weeklies who, for very little money and a fair amount of aggravation, keep on telling it like it is. Sometimes they tell it gently, in code only the locals understand. After all, they have to live there too. But they also tell it with courage, standing up to powerful bullies — from coal company thugs in Kentucky to corrupt politicians in the Texas Panhandle. “If we discover a political official misusing taxpayer funds,” an editor in Dove Creek, Colo., told me, “we wouldn’t hesitate to nail him to a stump.” You might be thinking that attitude would be fundamental for anyone who claims to be a journalist. The Los Angeles Times certainly nailed those officials in Bell to the proverbial stump in its award-winning expose of municipal corruption. But just imagine how much more difficult that job would have been if those Times reporters lived next door to the officials they were writing about — or, as sometimes happens in a small town, if they had been related to one of them. Practicing journalism with gusto comes with a price tag in a small community — from being shunned in the checkout line at the grocery store to losing a major advertiser. Of course, most of these newspapers are not uncovering major scandals on a regular basis. That’s not what keeps them selling at such a good clip; it’s the steady stream of news that readers can only get from that publication — the births, deaths, crimes,

sports and local shenanigans that only matter to the 5,000 or so souls in their circulation area. It’s more than a little ironic that small-town papers have been thriving by practicing what the mainstream media are now preaching. “Hyper-localism,” “citizen journalism,” “advocacy journalism” — these are some of the latest buzzwords of the profession. But the concepts, without the fancy names, have been around for ages in small-town newspapers. The “holy trinity” of weekly papers consists of high school sports (where even losing teams benefit from positive spin), obituaries (where there’s no need to speak ill of the dead because everyone in town already knows if the deceased was a jerk) and the police blotter. The latter can be addictive, even to outsiders. These items, often lifted intact from the dispassionate log of the sheriff’s dispatcher, are the haikus of Main Street: “Caller states that there is a 9-year-old boy out mowing the lawn next door and feels that is endangering the child in doing so when the mother is perfectly capable of doing it herself.” Or: “Man calls to report wife went missing 3 months ago.” The business models of these small-town papers are just as intriguing as the local news. In 2010, the National Newspaper Assn. provided some heartening survey statistics: More than three-quarters of respondents said they read most or all of a local newspaper every week. And a full 94% said they paid for their papers. And what of the Internet threat?

Many of these small-town editors have learned a lesson from watching their big-city counterparts: Don’t give it away. Many weeklies, from the Canadian Record in the Texas Panhandle to the Concrete Herald in Washington’s Cascade Mountains, are charging for their Web content, and, because readers can’t get that news anywhere else, they’re willing to pay. Meanwhile, some big-city journalists are finding a new life at smaller papers. After Denver’s Rocky Mountain News folded, the paper’s Washington correspondent, M.E. Sprengelmeyer, decided to buy a paper in the small town of Santa Rosa, N.M. He brought along a photographer and a political cartoonist as well. The result — a paper that is already winning awards and an editor who is exhausted but happy to be making a living in a beautiful place. “In Santa Rosa,” he says, “the future of print is print.” I wouldn’t be so bold as to predict the future, not in a media landscape that is constantly shifting. But when we engage in these discussions about how to “monetize” journalism, it’s refreshing to remember a different kind of bottom line, one that lives in the hearts of weekly newspaper editors and reporters who keep churning out news for the corniest of reasons — because their readers depend on it.

Correction There were two factual errors in an article published Sept. 22 titled “Carmel Valley teen learns about global issues from top experts at summit in Switzerland.” Corrections are as follows: Richard Kiy is the president and CEO of the International Community Foundation. And Morgan Hicks helped raise “$25,000” for a new playground in Mexico for abandoned and neglected children. We apologize for the errors.

LAWSUIT continued from page B17 thinking that maybe they could prevent us from getting meaningful discovery.” Gronemeier requested the McDowell deposition in March, but DMUSD’s legal counsel made a motion to quash the notice of deposition. “They immediately asserted that it was improper because of what’s called the deliberative process privilege,” said Gronemeier, explaining that the deliberative process privilege is a rule of law that does not permit inquiry into the motives of legislators. The defendant, Gronemeier said, was claiming that members of an elected school board cannot be subpoenaed because they are legislators. But he said the issues in this case were administrative, not legislative, and the deliberative process privilege applies only to legislative acts. Furthermore, he said the rule doesn’t mean one can’t take a deposition, but objections may be raised to certain types of questions. Ryan Church, an attorney with Stutz Artiano Shinoff & Holtz, explained in a May 12, 2011 article in this newspaper that the deliberative process privilege prevents public board members from being deposed and bars judicial inquiry into the motives of public officials. “You’re not supposed to be able to take board members’ depositions,” Church said. But the court did not agree. “Defendant’s deliberative process privilege objection is overruled,” read the court documents. According to the court, “under the circumstances of this case, the strong public interest in ascertaining the truth in judicial proceedings outweighs the public interest in nondisclosure.” Two of Gronemeier’s motions, both granted, asked for the depositions of McDowell and the Person Most Knowledgeable (PMK) about the issues. He said the district and its legal advisors identified Easton as the PMK. “The entity has the right to select the person,” Gronemeier said. “I can’t impose who they are.” “We’ve agreed to allow them to be deposed,” said DMUSD attorney Dan Shinoff, of Stutz Artiano Shinoff & Holtz. McDowell’s deposition was held Sept. 21 and lasted about six hours. Easton’s deposition is scheduled for

Sept. 30, and Gronemeier said it may take three or four days. “There are a lot of facts in this case, a lot of details,” he said. Shinoff said the judge at the trial will rule whether the information obtained by the depositions can be used as evidence. “For purposes of admissibility in trial, he’ll rule on it on a question-by-question basis,” Shinoff said. Gronemeier said the testimony obtained from a deposition is valuable even though little of it is read in court. “I use it in the sense that I know what the person’s going to say,” he said. Gronemeier will also seek the depositions of Doug Perkins, Comischell Rodriguez and Katherine White, the other three trustees who served during McClain’s tenure, because “the only people who have real knowledge of most of the events in dispute in the lawsuit are the five board members and Dr. McClain,” he said. Only Perkins and Rodriguez are still DMUSD board members. McDowell deposition McDowell was chosen first, Gronemeier said, because “we viewed him as a good starting point in this process.” “Lawyers learn a lot in depositions, and you build an understanding from the depositions,” he said. “So by the time you get to the most important witnesses, you sharpen your knives quite a bit more.” Gronemeier would not disclose specifics of McDowell’s deposition except to say that questions were related to McClain’s contention that the board did not have good cause to terminate her. Termination for good cause, he said, requires an honest and thorough investigation. “So we’re looking at how adequately they conducted the investigation,” he said. McDowell was also

asked about his decision to abstain from the vote to release McClain, Gronemeier said. Shinoff said the focus of the case is not why McDowell abstained. “The issue will be, did she or did she not breach the contract,” he said. “That’s the whole issue.” McDowell was asked “all kinds of questions,” Shinoff said, “and he explained himself. He also provided the reasons why he thought there were very serious performance issues [with McClain].” Both McDowell and Easton declined to comment. Stutz Artiano attorney Jack Sleeth, considered an expert on closed-session open-meeting laws, handled the McDowell deposition and will represent Easton for her deposition Sept. 30. Gronemeier said depositions can be contentious and are often an adversarial process. “But this was not a deposition where there was a lot of hostility,” he said. Gronemeier praised Sleeth for his professionalism, calling him a very good lawyer. “Jack asserted many objections, most of which were to closed-session discussions,” he said. “Some were to attorney-client privilege. I have no criticism of the way he handled the deposition.” Shinoff said Sleeth’s hourly rate is $170, to be paid by the DMUSD and its litigation insurance. Gronemeier said the cost of a deposition for his side will run about $1,000 per day for the court reporter, plus attorneys’ fees. The other rulings The hearing on Aug. 19 ruled on five motions, two on the depositions and three that overruled DMUSD’s objections to produce documents and answer interrogatories. “Essentially it means I won on all the substantive issues,” Gronemeier said. He

had sought monetary sanctions against the DMUSD, but that was denied. Gronemeier filed the motions to seek relief for what he claimed were the district’s delaying tactics. “What they were saying is that Dr. McClain can get no deposition discovery,” he said. When Shinoff’s firm requested documents and asked for a deposition of McClain, which took place over three days in June, “we didn’t stonewall,” Gronemeier said. “We don’t jerk people around in discovery.” Shinoff had earlier alleged that it was Gronemeier who was delaying the process. Besides documents, Gronemeier said the DMUSD also refused to release information about witnesses. “That got knocked down, and they have now provided the addresses and phone numbers of about 50 people they have listed as witnesses,” he said. He also just received about one thousand pages of documents from the DMUSD that he had requested. Shinoff minimized the importance of the August decisions, saying, “It was some names that they asked for that we provided, but that was the extent of the ruling.” “It’s just part of discovery, and it has nothing to do with the merits of the case,” Shinoff said. McClain was hired by the DMUSD on Sept. 17, 2008, at a base salary of $168,000, through June 30, 2009, the end of the fiscal year. Salary increases in the contract are listed as $178,000 for 2009-2010, $183,000 for 2010-2011, and $188,000 for 2011-2012. She was released from employment March 31, 2010, In her formal complaint, she claimed the DMUSD breached her agreement on a

number of grounds, calling the conduct of the DMUSD “arbitrary and capricious.” The district’s evaluation, written September 2009, charged that McClain’s performance constituted a “breach of material terms” of the contract and cited deficiencies, willful neglect, failure to uphold contract provisions, and a “general inability to be effective.” The performance review was signed by all five board members. The vote seven months later to terminate McClain’s employment, however, was 3-1-1, with Rodriguez opposed and McDowell abstaining. Gronemeier said McClain seeks just compensation. “Our position is they have never … given her the proper notice, and her salary is still accruing,” he said. “The contract continues in force. It wasn’t properly terminated.” McClain seeks salary through June 30, 2012, the end of the contract. McClain also contends that her retirement income was diminished by the loss of the extra years of salary. “The reduced pension benefits are very significant damages,” Gronemeier said. In addition to monetary compensation, McClain is seeking the restoration of her standing in the community. “She has been a very successful woman in her professional career, and what they did to her sullied her reputation,” Gronemeier said. “She wants vindication for that, and appropriately so.” Despite the setbacks last month, Shinoff remained sure of his case. “I’m still very confident in the merits of my position,” he said.

Beer lovers happy with review site that’s good for what ales BY JENNA JAY Contributor Pat Tugend and Scott Van Vugt might not know every frothy brew on the market, but they’ll gladly put their palates to the test. Childhood friends and now co-hosts of their beer review website TheBEERSgoneBAD (thebeersgonebad. com), Tugend and Van Vugt are on a mission to share their drinking experiences with the virtual world. Through a series of videotaped episodes posted online that review an ongoing list of beers, Tugend and Van Vugt have in less than three months, become an integral part of San Diego’s booming craft beer scene. “We’re in such a unique spot. San Diego is like the epicenter for craft beer,” Tugend said, explaining why TheBEERSgoneBAD fixates on beers from local breweries such as Stone, Karl Strauss, Green Flash, Ballast Point, and Coronado Brewing Co. Though the pair did not originally plan to focus on local microbrews, that has been the trend for the San Diego natives. Tugend and Van Vugt provide their basic and stripped-down opinions on a one-beer-per-episode review, feeding off each other in a makeshift studio through onetake videos that appeal to beer meisters across the expertise spectrum. “Our intentions were that

we’re going to learn along the way and let everybody else know what we learned,” Tugend said. “We’re still learning the process, we’re relating the things that we find in our normal day lives.” For TheBEERSgoneBAD reviewers, it’s all about being able to relate to their viewers. Giving the most honest and unpretentious reviews, Tugend and Van Vugt have found themselves describing the tartness of Julian Hard Cider as “shock tarts in water,” and deeming Port Brewing Co.’s WipeOut IPA an “IPA Light.” Part of the appeal of TheBEERSgoneBAD, according to the connoisseurs, is that anyone who drinks beer can relate to their reviews. “We have the platform to be the liaison between the Average Joe Shmoe, who grabs things off the shelf and doesn’t know a centennial hop from a cascade hop, and the brewer who does,” Van Vugt said. If there is one demographic of viewers that TheBEERSgoneBAD collects, it might be the gaggle of 20- and 30-somethings, like Tugend and Van Vugt themselves, who grew up entrenched in the “Bud Light phase” and have transitioned into the finer side of beer drinking. This is evident through original segments such as rating beers by shot-gun ability (giving a 1-10 rating on the easiness to chug, with 1 being “tomato soup” and 10 being “Bud Light”) and also with a shot-gun challenge, in which Van Vugt invites viewers to beat him in shot-gunning a

beer of their choice. “This thing started out as just an experiment,” Van Vugt said. “It was us tasting beer and talking about what we thought, and it turned into us having to fight ourselves from doing it five nights a week.” In the last two months, Tugend and Van Vugt have launched a blogging assault on the local beer scene. What began as an informal discussion between friends on craft brews has blossomed into a new career opportunity, and with Tugend’s technical skills and Van Vugt’s writing capabilities, TheBEERSgoneBAD just keeps growing. “Realistically right now we’re focusing on just making sure what we do have on the website is 100-percent original and engaging,” Tugend said. Plans for the future of the blog include the incorporation of UStream live broadcasting, as well as onsite taping at local breweries and restaurants. Tugend and Van Vugt will also host a craft beer and food event in Coronado on Oct. 8. For the details, go to thebeersgonebad.com.

widening and realignment—that portion of roadway will be handled by the El Camino Real project. Another request of the board was to underground the SDG&E overhead lines which are numerous along that stretch of roadway. On the north side of the road lines have recently been undergrounded, and a second phase to underground distribution lines on the south side and along the hillside will soon be undertaken. As part of the widening project, Greenhalgh said they must relocate all the utility lines temporarily, build the road and move them back to an underground conduit. The San Diego City Council will be hearing an item this year to remove all overhead lines from Via de la Valle and El Camino Real, he said. While the narrowed road and undergrounding unsightly poles were seen as promising, at least one board member expressed concerns with widening Via de la Valle up to El Camino Real, where beyond it will remain a two-lane road to Rancho Santa Fe that the county has no intention of widening. As member Christian Clews said, it’s like “building a freeway into a dirt road.”

WIDENING continued from page 3 Board member Christopher Moore questioned whether there will be room for bike lanes. “That roadway is somewhat problematic for bicyclists,” he noted. Kahlen said there will be a 6-foot lane on either side of the road for cyclists. As a widening and realignment of El Camino Real is also in the works, board members wanted to be sure there was no redundancy in doing the projects separately. Kahlen said their project will match the El Camino Real

Carmel Valley Manchester U15 boys team

Manchester U15’s shine in Brazil Earlier this month, the Carmel Valley Manchester U15 boys team departed San Diego for a two-week trip to Brazil. The boys were hosted by two local families in Sao Paulo and also traveled to Santos and Juquehy, coastal communities south of Rio De Janeiro. Over the course of the trip, Manchester benefited from daily training with Brazilian coaches and players and also played seven games. Manchester went 2:4:1 during the trip while playing prominent professional sides, such as Sao Paulo Futebol Club, Corinthians FC, Palmeiras FC and National. The team’s best game was against Palmeiras where the American boys stormed back from a halftime deficit of 1:0 to score 3 second half goals to secure the win 3:1. “At halftime, I reminded them of what they were playing for and why we were here … that these are the types of games we train for,” said Jeff Illingworth, the Director of Coaching at Manchester. “We had held possession for most

A. The game was played at Morumbi Stadium, which is Sau Paolo’s second largest stadium. See attached video clip. Manchester was also hosted in the VIP suite by the Sao Paulo Futebol Club to watch their Serie A team play. It as a magical experience for the boys as they were hosted like celebrities at Pacaebu Stadium, the biggest in Sao Paulo and often home to Brazilian National team. Returning to SoCal, Coach Illingworth noted, “If you want to be the best, you have to train and play with the best. As a club, we’re committed to giving all of our boys and girls teams a positive, developmental experience. In this case, our Brazil trip will be an experience that our boys will carry for a life time. Furthermore, it has the added benefit of helping parents and players alike better understand ‘the beautiful game’ and why it has ascended to being the most dominant sport in the world.”

of the first half, so I knew we could come back. Their competitive response was brilliant, and it impressed a lot of local coaches and scouts.” Another one of the key takeaways from the trip was the level of commitment Brazil has to soccer. “To say soccer is practically a religion in Brazil is an understatement,” say Illingworth, where boys train intensively six days a week. One of the highlights of the trip was two days of training at the famed training grounds of the Sao Paulo Futebol Club in the suburbs of Sao Paulo. The training complex stretches over 75 acres and is a modern, campus lay-out of dorms, dining halls, medical and training facilities and in-door and outdoor soccer fields. The boys also attended two professional games. In the first game, they joined a raucous crowd of Paulistas (read local Sao Paulo fans) cheering for the city’s new darling -- Corthinians FC, who current sit on top of the table in the Serie

Week in Sports BY GIDEON RUBIN CONTRIBUTOR Football: Cathedral Catholic bounced back from its most lopsided loss in years with a vengeance. The Dons rolled up 341 yards of total offense while their defense was just as dominant in a 31-0 shellacking of Olympian in a nonleague game on Sept. 23. The Dons were coming off a 48-14 nonleuage loss to Helix on Sept. 16, their larges margin of defeat in more than five years. Dons quarterback Garrett Bogart completed nine of 16 pass attempts for 186 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. Dons running back Tony Johnson rushed for 103 yards and one touchdown on 22 carries, and JJ Stavola contributed 52 rushing yards on 22 carries. Brian Heinz caught one pass for 67 yards and Trevor Deddeh had four receptions for 44 yards. Toshaun Poumele led the Dons defensively with 13 tackles. Russell Reeder and Parker Price each had one interception for the Dons. The Dons improved their overall record for the season to 3-1. ***** Santa Fe Christian reeled off its third straight win, and the Eagles did it in decisive fashion, trouncing Palo Verde Valley 48-0 in a nonleague game on Sept. 24. The defense set the tone for the victory, as Connor Moore and Nathan Ross returned interceptions in the first quarter from 50 and 15 yards out to make it a 13-0 game. Jarrod Watson-Lewis rushed for 111 yards on five carries highlighted by a 50yard scoring run that gave the Eagles a 28-0 lead early in the second quarter, by which time it became apparent it would be a long day for the team from the desert. Tony Miro rushed for 84 yards and two touchdowns on 13 carries and Grant Lucier contributed 80 rushing yards on six carries. Moore rushed for 37 yards and one touchdown on six carries and was 2-for7 passing for 23 yards with one touchdown. Waton-Lewis also caught a 17-yard scoring pass from Moore. The Eagles were led defensively by Nathaniel Fredricks and Nathan Ross, who each had seven tackles. The Eagles combined

for five interceptions, of which Andrew Barajas made two. The Eagles improved their overall record for the season to 3-1. ***** San Diego Jewish Academy defeated Calipatria 35-0 in a nonleague game on Sept. 22.

What brought you to this area? The first time, in 1970, I was a second grader and the move was mandated by my parents when my father took on a CEO assignment for a local data storage company, Cipher Data Products. The second time, in 1990, was my choice — a choice driven by the region’s growing entrepreneurial community, solid academic research institutions, and unique environment. What makes this area special to you? The venue and people! [This area] is blessed with wonderful weather and an exceptional marine environment. That combination has attracted many interesting people from across the globe, creating fascinating clusters in the marine sciences, life sciences, academia, entrepreneurial sector, and of course the surfing community!

Political satirist hopes to turn the country around with common sense BY ARTHUR LIGHTBOURN Contributor For more than 30 years, he specialized in corporate turnarounds — helping ailing companies regain their corporate health by refocusing on what made them successful in the first place. Nowadays, T.J. (Terry) O’Hara, wants to turn the country around and he thinks he can do so with political satire bringing what he calls “a little common sense” into the country’s current political environment. He has, in fact, dubbed himself The Common Sense Czar™, and as such, has transformed himself into a dedicated blogger, a recurring columnist for “The Washington Times Communities,” and the author of three recently published books: “The Left Isn’t Right,” “The Right is Wrong,” and “The National Platform of Common Sense.” His stated mission is “to create a more informed electorate … using satT.J.

Efforts remain strong to bring home missing search, rescue dog Do not chase, call immediately if seen BY CLAIRE HARLIN Staff Writer If you’ve driven around Del Mar or Solana Beach in the last two months, you probably are aware that Puck, a black and white border collie mix, is missing. The retired search-andrescue dog went missing July 14 from Del Mar Dog Beach, and now a dedicated group of search-and-rescue volunteers is working endlessly to bring him home to his owner, Paul Weister of Solana Beach. Hundreds of signs have gone up, thousands of cards have been handed out and even a giant banner has been pulled by plane down the coast, from Oceanside to Mission Beach. But despite a number of positive sightings, Puck is still at large. What makes Puck’s rescue particularly challenging, said Weister, is that he is trained to run from anyone who approaches him. As a search-and-rescue dog, Puck used to seek out missing hik-

ers in Rocky Mountain parks and peaks and report back to Weister, who used to work rescues for the state of Colorado. In the case that Puck found a missing person, it was imperative that he immediately return to his owner without being caught. In hopes of keeping Puck nourished and grounded, Weister and volunteers have set up several food stations, equipped with food, water and wildlife cameras, in areas where the dog has been sighted. Weister refills the food and replaces the cameras’ memory cards one to two times per day, but the footage has thus far turned up only sightings of cats, squirrels, birds and other dogs. So far, there have been 12 sightings of Puck, the majority of which have been very strong. Just after his disappearance, he was seen near Solana Circle across from the Del Mar Fairgrounds. He then moved to downtown Del Mar, where

he was seen by two witnesses the evening of Sept. 2, the night of the bomb scare at L’Auberge hotel. On Sept. 7, he was seen laying in a front yard at the South end of Ocean Avenue, and on Sept. 8, a witness called Weister to say he was “100 percent sure” he saw Puck sitting in the breezeway of the Del Mar Motel, located at 1702 Coast Highway. When Puck first went missing, Weister approached the Solana Beach City Council to inform them of his efforts. “We are sensitive to the face that many people do not want a lot of signs hanging around town, but the council was really supportive of the signs,” said a volunteer who wishes to remain anonymous. “When Puck is found, every flyer and poster will be taken down with a big smile. We have no intention of leaving them up.” Puck is mostly black, with a white chest and white paw. He stands about 19

inches tall and the naturallyspiked hair on his head resembles a mohawk. Puck is 8 years old and shares many special memories with Weister, including the time he led his owner to a lost trail at night while working a rescue. “He saved my life,” said Weister. “If I didn’t have him, there would have been a search and rescue for me.” If you see Puck, please do not chase him. Leave food if possible and immediately call (970) 445-0033.

Susan Street Fine Art Gallery celebrates new location with opening reception

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DIANE Y. WELCH Contributor This year marks two decades that Susan Street has had a presence on Cedros Ave. in Solana Beach. It also marks the relocation of her gallery from South Cedros Ave. to 200 North Cedros Ave., a move that symbolizes a continued journey forward along a path that supports and celebrates both established, mid-career, and emerging artists. The new venue for Susan Street Fine Art Gallery, now located in a “creative pocket of the Solana Beach Design District,” neighbors with architects, designers and photographers. It provides an innovative space with an artistic ambiance positioning the gallery to advance with current trends and opportunities in the art market, Street said. The gallery will continue to devote exhibition space to presenting and advancing the work of contemporary local, national, and international artists who work within a broad range of styles and mediums, which includes paint-

ing, sculpture, photography, ceramics, mixed media, limited edition prints, and works on paper. Artists represented by Street include Sheldon Greenburg, Mirang Wonne, Anita Hampton, Frank Damiano, Carl Dahl, and many more. With almost 28 years of curatorial experience and art consulting services, a major focus for her business, Street has been able to share her passion for and appreciation of art with many people. She has built a solid reputation in her field and despite the lagging economy her business has remained vital. “We’ve actually had several really, really good years,” she said, “primarily because we do so much consulting work.” A major art program was recently completed for the UCSD Sulpizio Cardiovascular Center in La Jolla. When Street started her business in 1984 her sole focus was on providing art for the corporate world, she said. “Many of our clients were large corporations and law firms back then. Then as time went on I found

that a lot of the CEOs and other employees asked me to help them with their art collections in their homes,” which added the residential component to her business. For a number of years she has been in what she calls destination locations. “We have always had a walk-in gallery, but a lot of our clients come to us because they have been referred to us.” Major clients are architects and designers, she said. The current relocation is an opportunity for Street to change the feel of her gallery space. “Many galleries are so austere when you walk in that you can hardly even find the person that you need to talk to, it can be intimidating.” Her new space will be inviting, with comfortable lounge seating. “We want clients to stay awhile, to experience the art.” In addition to what is hung on the walls there will be a large screen monitor that will show images of Street’s wider collection. “We want to engage people and truly find out what it is they like, what they are

looking for. If need be, we might go to another gallery locally or procure work from New York to find the right art for our client and to help them put together a collection,” explained Street. To recognize the relocation, there will be an opening reception on Thursday, Oct. 6, from 6-8 p.m. “The event will serve as a tribute to the artists whose paths we have followed,” said Street. “Over the years we have watched as some of our artists’ work has changed in style and medium while for some of our artists, several whom I’ve known for 20 years, their work is instantly recognizable.” The exhibition will showcase a mix of older work and new pieces. Visit http://www.susanstreetfineart.com to find out more about Susan Street Fine Art Gallery and to RSVP for the reception. The gallery is now located at 200 North Cedros Avenue, Solana Beach, CA 92075. Call (858) 793 4442 for more information.

Crab Catcher nets patrons fresh seafood, Cove views BY DANIEL K. LEW ith a 30-plus year track record, Crab Catcher restaurant has found its ingredients for success: Fresh seafood, generous serving portions, and a seaside location that’s tough to beat — perched right on the edge of the cliffs overlooking La Jolla Cove. “Not only are we a very local, family owned-and-operated restaurant, we buy local and have very special connections with local fishermen and divers,” said proprietor Jerry Burwell, who is proud to say he, his family and staff are mostly graduates of La Jolla High School. Burwell, along with his wife Jeani who handles the restaurant’s marketing and interior design, have developed Crab Catcher into a 3-in-1 establishment: The main restaurant with indoor-andalfresco dining areas with panoramic Cove views, an adjacent Oyster/Sushi Bar, and a Crab Catcher Market Cafe, which is both a deli and gift shop. The Crab Catcher family affair also includes sons Jon Burwell as executive chef and Justin Burwell as assistant manager. Longtime patrons come to Crab Catcher for seafood, where “fresh is the best,” Jon said.

Menu Recipe W Each week you’ll find a recipe from the On The

featured restaurant online at delmartimes.net. Just click on ‘Food’ or ‘On The Menu.’ ■ This week: Crab Catcher’s Cioppino

Cioppino: Dutch Harbor king crab claw, Nova Scotia sea scallops, Belizean head-on prawn, Wild Mexican shrimp, Wild salmon, Carlsbad black mussels, Manila clams, Fiji tomb (wildcaught albacore), Fiji yellowfin tuna and Baja white sea bass in shrimp-based stock with tomato, saffron, chipotle broth.

The popular and romantic Table 7 is located in its own private nook with a direct view into Sunny Jim Cave. PHOTOS BY DANIEL K. LEW During lobster season and other times of the year, it’s common for Jon to meet fisherman at the docks as they return with the latest catch. “Within hours, something that was just swimming in the ocean could be served at your table,” Jon said. Jerry and Jon are also proud to mention the menu’s daily updated insert — what they call a “Fresh and Live Seafood Orgins” list so customers are kept in-theknow. Jerry and Jon know what seafood they like for the right season and where to get it — from boat captains around the globe to

specific aqua farms. “We’re very specific about where we get our seafood and produce,” said Jerry, who adds their local, organic produce also comes from farm owners they personally know within San Diego County. Crab Catcher’s menu selection is filled with enough seafood choices, and surf-and-turf combinations to satisfy the pickiest customer. But the giant Bering Sea Red King Crab reigns supreme. It’s available for its legs — or whole at a hefty 5 to 8 pounds enough for a table of seafood lovers to share.

Q&A continued from page B1 If you could snap your fingers and have it done, what might you add, subtract or improve in the area? My biggest pet peeve is when visitors to local beaches leave unsightly traces of their visit, whether trash, graffiti, or human waste. If everyone made an effort to cover his or her own tracks, our greatest local natural resource will be preserved for future generations. Who or what inspires you? My parents have been a profound inspiration in my life. My father instilled a love of entrepreneurship and innovation that has led to my 20-year career with Silicon Valley Bank supporting the innovation sector worldwide. My mother provided an exceptional example of the importance of eleemosynary engagement, inspiring my cofounding of the UCSD Moores Cancer Center Luau & Longboard Invitational nearly 20 years ago. Together, my parents demonstrated the durable importance of family and friends, and transitory nature of wealth and possessions. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living

or deceased) would you invite? Before we get to the guest list, I’d want to secure Tapenade and Giuseppe to tag team on catering. That would be complimented by Shari and Garen Staglin covering the wine list! As far as a guest list goes, I think William Shackleton would add incredible perspective on leadership and motivation gained through his illfated expedition to Antarctica where his ship was sunk and yet not a single crew member was lost. Tenzing Norgay, who led Sir Edmund Hilary up the first ascent of Everest, would also provide compelling perspective on leadership and mountaineering. To cover insights on entrepreneurship and innovation, I’d invite Craig Venter and Tom Perkins. Both are pioneers and big thinkers in the innovation economy. I think Milton Friedman would be good to round out the business discussion. I would also include Malin Burnham. Not only to share his stories from the disastrous FastNet race and perspective on community leadership, but also to share his Seven Principals for instilling leadership in our youth. Mother Teresa would also add unique perspective on leadership as well as provide inspiration to focus our leadership

capabilities in helping others. I think Chrissie Wellington would add an amazing smile and an incredible perspective on goal orientation that enabled her to shatter a world record that stood for 17 years at Kona’s 140.6-mile IronMan triathlon in 2009. And Angelina Jolie, just in case anyone was taking this discussion too seriously… Did I get the count wrong? Sorry, that is an incorrigible genetic disposition. What are your favorite books of all time? “One Hundred Years of Solitude,” by Gabriel Garcia Marquez – I read this before my first trip to the Andes and it was magical; “Let the Sea Make a Noise,” by Walter McDougal – McDougal was my history prof at Cal, this is an amazing history of the Pacific Rim written in fictional style; “Guns Germs and Steel,” by Jared Diamond – this is a great summary of the history of mankind! “The Innovator’s Dilemma,” by Clayton Christensen – great lesson on the importance of innovation and challenges presented by same. Fun recent reads include “Born to Run” by Christopher McDougall and “The Wave, In Pursuit of the Rogues, Freaks, and Giants of the Ocean,” by Susan Casey. What is your mostprized possession? One marriage certificate

and three birth certificates. What do you do for fun? While I love to do anything aquatic with the family (including beaching, surfing, or sailing) my adrenaline addiction can only be satiated by kitesurfing, and that endeavor tends to exclude family (given my children’s current ages). I am fortunate that my work takes me to some of the windiest spots on Earth! Describe your greatest accomplishment. While I have been fortunate to have enjoyed a series of epic adventures with family, friends, and colleagues that range from building a successful business franchise supporting world class innovative companies at Silicon Valley Bank, co-founding UCSD Moores Cancer Center’s Luau & Longboard Invitational (which has become a world renown event), crossing oceans, and scaling high altitude peaks, I think my most important opus is a work in progress — instilling positive core values and a passion for success in Bella, William, and Weston. This represents the most important project in my life. And my wife Gabriele is my most trusted partner in this work in process! What is your motto or philosophy of life? Never give up.

SATIRIST continued from page B1 asserting it.” The rhetoric attracts power and money, he says, but it doesn’t fix the problem. And in many regards it deepens the problem. “The political paradigm today by which both of the major parties play is accusatory,” O’Hara said; “so the finger-pointing goes on and nothing gets resolved.” Asked how he thinks the situation can be changed, he said: “I really think there is going to have to be a paradigm shift. I think the focus on money and the focus on power within the context of our current majority parties is going to explode at some point.” He likens the situation to the Hans Christian Andersen tale “The Emperor’s New Clothes” in which a child is the only one of the emperor’s subjects who reveals the truth: that the emperor was obviously conned by two unscrupulous weavers into believing that his new clothes, purchased at great expense, would appear invisible to those of his subjects who were unfit for office or fools. “But,” the child cries out, while the emperor is parading before his subjects, “he hasn’t got anything on.” “I think that voice,” O’Hara said, “is going to be heard and it’s going to be loud and strong — and will disrupt the current paradigm between the two majority parties. “Neither party can break from this current paradigm because they are both committed to playing within it… “I think there has to be an intellectual revolution where the facts are presented without the political spin. The truth has an amazing ability to impact people.” Only when we have an informed electorate, he added, will we start solving the problem. O’Hara was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, the product of a mixed marriage: Catholic father of Irish heritage and a Protestant mother of Italian heri-

tage. His father was a Republican. His mother was a Democrat. His father served as a Navy commando in World War II, worked as a newspaper blue-collar journeyman, served as his union’s secretary/treasurer, and later started his own successful business as a painting contractor. “I was raised,” O’Hara recalls, “‘to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth, so help me God.’” He studied electrical engineering and earned his B.S, degree in industrial management from the University of Cincinnati in 1975 and a law degree from the same university in 1978. While in law school, he worked as a tennis pro. He started his career in Cincinnati as a litigation attorney and, in 1981, entered the corporate world with The Reynolds & Reynolds Company, a business forms and document management company, in Dayton, Ohio, eventually becoming vice president of sales, marketing and new development, specializing in acquisitions, divestitures and turnarounds. In 1990, he and a partner formed The SPECTRA Group, an executive consulting boutique in Dayton, Ohio, and Orlando, Florida. He subsequently served as president, CEO, COO, and strategic planner for a number of firms from start-ups to Fortune 1000 companies, including BMS Inc., the Moore Corporation and Corporate Express. In 2000, he moved to San Diego as president and CEO of SupplyPro, Inc., and later as president and CEO of the professional training and coaching company, Bachrach & Associates. Asked specifically if he has any plans to run for political office, he said he would only consider doing so as an Independent. “My only political ambition would be to become part of the solution,” he said.
