DM officials embark on revitalization educational efforts BY CLAIRE HARLIN The Del Mar City Council on Sept. 10 gave final approval of its downtown revitalization plan, which puts the measure on the Nov. 6 ballot as Proposition J, and now the plan of action is educating the public on the 250-page document. But some residents have scrutinized the ethics of an educational program that’s in the works, accusing officials of crossing the advocacy line and serving as lobbyists rather than informants. The educational program consists of several components, such as conducting question-and-answer sessions and posting summary sheets explaining each chapter of the Village Specific Plan (VSP) on the city’s website. But what’s raised concern is the city’s intent to mail the VSP’s executive summary to all residents and business owners in Del Mar, in the form of an educational pamphlet. The council advised city staff to present an example
of the mailer at the Sept. 24 council meeting, at which point direction or approval will be given. Del Mar resident Brooke Eisenberg-Pike called the executive summary an “advocacy report.” “Once [Proposition J] is placed on the ballot, neither staff nor council can lobby it using their time and our money preparing these educational documents,” said Eisenberg-Pike, a former Del Mar council member. She said the VSP summaries city staff plan to post prominently on the website seem objective, but they are heavily biased. She said an example of this bias is the city’s failure to include changes asked for by the public but not granted in a document summarizing changes made to the final VSP since the first draft was written. She said it’s “shocking and shameful” to put city staff on the front lines of See DM, Page 6
Retiring SD Mayor reviews his legacy Sanders the featured speaker at Sanford Burnham Institute BY SHELLI DEROBERTIS Retiring San Diego Mayor Jerry Sanders was the guest speaker at a brown bag luncheon Sept. 5 at the Sanford Burnham Medical Research Institute where he shared details about the city’s “health” with about 100 people in the Fishman Auditorium. A group of women who call themselves “Group of 12 & Friends,” co-founded by Sanford Burnham pioneer Lillian Fishman, meet at the institute for monthly luncheons with a featured speaker. “They thought it was a good time to bring (Sanders) in,” said institute spokeswoman Kristina Meek, alluding to his final three months on the job.

Trial ordered for Carmel Valley woman accused of drowning autistic child in bathtub BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A woman accused of drowning her 4-year-old autistic son in a bathtub, then driving his lifeless body to a police substation where she allegedly admitted the crime, was ordered recently to stand trial on murder and assault charges. Patricia Corby faces 25 years to life in prison if convicted in the March 31 death of her son, Daniel. According to testimony at a day-long preliminary hearing, Corby allegedly contemplated suicide before holding her son down in several inches of water until he was lifeless in the family’s Carmel Valley condominium. Corby, 36, cried and kept her face covered with her hair during the entire hearing. District Attorney’s Office Investigator Walter Escobar testified that Corby told him that her son — diagnosed with a high likelihood for autism — had made strides in his battle with the disease but not enough to satisfy her. Corby, who cared for her son at home, felt she had no time to do anything, Escobar testified. ``She felt like her whole existence was dedicated to her child,’’ Escobar testified. ``She felt like she had no life. She wanted
Daniel to be normal.’’ Escobar testified that Corby told him that after she killed her son, she tried to drown herself but couldn’t. Corby realized what she did was wrong and drove to the police substation 4 miles away to turn herself in, Escobar said Corby told him. A police officer tried to resuscitate the child, but paramedics pronounced him dead at the scene. The victim’s father, Duane Corby, was at work at the time of his son’s death, police said. He testified that he and his wife amassed $70,000 in debt getting their son numerous types of treatment. Duane Corby testified that he saw no signs that his wife suffered from any mental disease before she allegedly killed their son. He said officers came to his workplace around 1:45 p.m. the day of the incident. ``They said my wife had killed my son,’’ the witness testified, saying he was ``stunned’’ for quite some time at the news. Superior Court Judge Michael Smyth ruled that enough evidence was presented for the defendant to stand trial. Arraignment was set for Sept. 19.

DM supports 10,000-person race proposed for February 2013 BY CLAIRE HARLIN The Del Mar City Council on Sept. 10 voiced unanimous support for a 10-mile, 10,000-participant race, titled the California 10/20, with 20 music stages that would go through Del Mar, Solana Beach and Encinitas. However, the city’s support of the race, proposed for February 2013, may be futile because the Solana Beach City Council voiced concern last month that the race would coincide with major construction on Highway 101. While they praised the concept of the event, developed by Austin-based TurnKey Operations, the council unanimously supported holding off until 2014. The race would start at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Runners would travel west on Via de la Valle, then north on Highway 101 to the kook statue in Cardiff, and then turn
around and run back to the fairgrounds. The only concern raised by Del Mar is the possible noise impact on residents from the many music stages proposed as a major part of the event’s concept. TurnKey founder and president Peter Douglass said the stages have small sound systems, with sound only traveling up to 200 feet, and he would be more than happy to hold a demo “mini-concert” for the community to ease concerns. The offer was embraced by the council. Jen Grove of the Del Mar Village Association expressed her support of the race as a great way to highlight Del Mar’s business community. Grove, herself a runner, said, “I am here to help, and the DMVA is here to help in any way we can.”

A Mira Mesa cardiologist was identified Sept. 9 as the pilot killed as he attempted to bail out of a crashing airplane, and his parachute malfunctioned near the Borrego Valley Airport. Reinaldo Walter Beyer, 58, of Del Mar was flying aerobatics in an experimental plane about 12:40 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 8, when the plane had some form of mechanical failure, according to the San Diego County Medical Examiner’s Office. The plane spiraled out of control and Beyer ejected from it. But his parachute did not completely open because of the low altitude, the Medical Examiner’s Office reported, and he died at the scene. The plane sustained substantial damage, Allen Kenitzer, spokesman for the FAA, said Saturday. The FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board were investigating, Kenitzer said. The NTSB is the lead investigative agency. A NTSB investigator usually posts a basic preliminary report on the agency’s website -ntsb.gov -- within a week or two of the crash. But it typically takes the NTSB months to come up with a probable cause for accidents, Kenitzer said. According to the FAA registry, the single-engine plane was owned by Edward R. Moore of San Diego. Beyer was a cardiologist at Sharp Rees-Stealy Medical Group near the Mira Mesa Sharp Memorial Hospital, according to the medical group’s president.
‘Game On’ theme for 2013 San Diego County Fair BY JOE TASH Coming off a record-setting year in attendance for the San Diego County Fair, fairgrounds officials on Tuesday, Sept. 11, approved “Game On” as the theme for the 2013 edition of the fair. Attendance at the 2012 fair, which ended on July 4, was 1,517,508. The governing board of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which oversees the state-owned fairgrounds, expanded the fair’s run from 22 to 24 days for this year’s fair. The 2013 fair will also run for 24 days, the board decided on Tuesday. This year’s theme was “Out of this World.” Next year’s fair will open on Saturday, June 8, and end on Thursday, July 4, and the fair will be closed on the first three Mondays
during its run. In a report to the fair board, a staff member said the theme of “Game On” will be used for marketing, decorations, special exhibits, entertainment and other fair activities. The theme will encompass everything from classic board games to the latest in video and computer games, and appeal across both ethnic and generational lines, from the youngest children to seniors, according to the staff report. Partnerships and sponsorships with companies in the gaming industry will also be explored, according to the report. Fair board members unanimously approved both the theme and the dates for next year’s fair.
Del Mar wraps up another record-setting racing season BY JULIE SARNO The 75th Anniversary Season at Del Mar was one for the record books. The track opened with a record attendance of 47,339 and closed with records set by jockeys and trainers. Opening day set the pace for the 37-day race meet when a record number of people spun through the turnstiles to enjoy the first day of racing and the One and Only Truly Fabulous Hats Contest. On opening day, the record crowd included many in hats competing for prizes in the One and Only Truly Fabulous Hats contest won by Daniella Lopez of Imperial Beach. San Diego resident and 2007 Grand Prize winner Lori Shelton created a spoton replica of the blue Del Mar 75th Anniversary logo from feathers, beads and flowers. My Best Brother, owned by Solana Beach resident Bill Currin and Alvin Eisman, won a division of the Oceanside Stakes and then went on to finish second in the La Jolla Handicap before winning the G2 Del Mar Derby.

Trainer Bob Baffert, absent on closing day because of the death of his father, recorded his ninth stakes victory of the race meet when Rolling Fog won the Del Mar Futurity. With 11 victories in the Del Mar Futurity, he has won more than any other trainer. Baffert also leads
in stakes wins at the seaside oval with 102, far more than Ron McAnally and the late Charlie Whittingham, each with 74. Peter Miller topped the trainers’ standings, saddling the most winners at Del Mar to capture his first training title at a major race track.

PBS special features CCA graduate and ‘2012 Globe Honors’ winner Nicolette Burton Nicolette Burton, a recent graduate of Canyon Crest Academy’s Class of 2012, is this year’s winner of the “2012 Globe Honors” for leading actress in a high school musical for her role in “Kiss Me Kate,”presented at the Carmel Valley school. Nicolette was honored with an all-expense paid trip to New York City to work with theater professionals for rehearsals, master classes, and interviews leading up to the Jimmy Awards. The Jimmy Award is named after legendary Broadway producer and theater owner James M. Nederlander and honors high school actors and actresses from across the United States that compete for the award and cash scholarships. This year more than 50,000 high school actors/actresses and over a 1,000 schools competed from around the United States for the chance Nicolette Burton to be one of the 60 chosen (30 males and 30 females) to compete in New York City at the Minskoff Theatre. The Jimmy Awards were held on June 25 in New York City, and Nicolette was runner up with her acting and singing from “Kiss Me Kate.” A three-part PBS special called “Broadway or Bust” began Sept. 9, and will air Sept. 16 and 23 and follows Nicolette and several other actors through the process that got them to Broadway. Nicolette is attending Montclair State University to pursue her BFA in musical theatre this fall. For a preview of the PBS special, visit http://video.pbs.org/video/2263284750/
Canyon Crest Academy student receives scholarship as a 2012 Davidson Fellow Twenty-two bright young people named as 2012 Davidson Fellows exemplify the extraordinary work that can be accomplished by U.S. students who are given opportunities to excel. One of these gifted students is Canyon Crest Academy student Vaishnavi Rao, 17, who won a $10,000 scholarship. Vaishnavi’s science project, “Activity-dependent Regulation of Nitric Oxide Expression: Novel Form of Neurotransmitter Plasticity,” examines the role of nitric oxide in physiological functions including sleep, feeding, memory, vision, olfactory regulation Canyon Crest Academy student Vaishnavi Rao and sensorimotor integration. Imbalances in levels of nitric oxide are implicated in the pathogenesis of several neurological disorders including stroke, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease. Vaishnavi’s findings suggest that nitric oxide levels can be regulated through alterations in electrical activity, ultimately restoring homeostasis. Her work could aid in the restoration of normal functioning people with neurological disorders. Vaishnavi is a senior at Canyon Crest Academy and hopes to become a neurosurgeon. The Davidson Fellows Scholarship program offers $50,000, $25,000 and $10,000 college scholarships to students 18 or younger, who have created significant projects that have the potential to benefit society in the fields of science, technology, mathematics, literature, music and philosophy. The Davidson Fellows Scholarship has provided nearly $5 million in scholarship funds to 206 Fellows since its inception in 2001, and has been named one of the most prestigious undergraduate scholarships by U.S. News & World Report. It is a program of the Davidson Institute for Talent Development, a national nonprofit organization headquartered in Reno, Nev. that supports profoundly gifted youth. “The Davidson Institute is built on the belief that individuals, who have extraordinary intelligence and talents, when encouraged and supported, can improve the quality of life for us all,” said Bob Davidson, co-founder of the Davidson Institute. “We are delighted to recognize a group of resourceful and distinguished young people for their fascinating projects – projects that have the potential to benefit society.” The 2012 Davidson Fellows will be honored at a reception in Washington, D.C., on Oct. 3.

MAYOR continued from page 1 Sanders began making history at age 44 when he became one of the youngest police chiefs of San Diego. During a special election, seven years ago when the city was in financial crisis, he became mayor. He’s set to leave office in December. Sanders had the crowd laughing when he said working a week in the life of a police chief is like working one day as mayor. “But it was actually enjoyable being police chief,” he chuckled. “Though it’s been an honor to be the Mayor of San Diego, it’s frustrating, gratifying and hard work.” His last summer in office began with Sanders proclaiming June “Craft Beer Month,” to promote the local beer industry and entice
PLANS continued from page 1 piece of the project’s property that extends to the south side of SR-56, accessed off the Rancho Santa Fe Farms frontage road. Co-chair Anne Harvey, who was involved in the planning of PHR from the early days, said the community was planned down to the details, hoping to avoid bit-by-bit development so the concepts they envisioned wouldn’t get “goofed up.” The challenge in PHR is that many lots, like the neighboring “Lynn property” next to the proposed project, have yet to be designed and it can be difficult for developers to work together in creating connecting communities. The land, previously known as the “Kasai property,” is zoned peripheral residential and the density planned is consistent with that zoning, according to Randi Coopersmith, senior principal planner with Latitude 33. The development will have single-family detached homes at a density of 6.7 homes per acre. While the property developed just east of the project site uses private streets, Coopersmith said their development would have all public streets to provide easy access through to the future Village Center for pedestrians, bicyclists and cars. The access complements PHR’s concept goal to be a walkable community. “If you want to have connectivity between projects, you have to have public roads,” Coopersmith said. The development will have several different models of homes, ranging from
other brewers to the city. He said one enjoyable aspect of his job was getting to sample lots of beer from White Labs, which produced a beer called “Ale to the Chief.” But there was nothing to toast when his first term began. “December 2005 was a dark time in San Diego and we were very close to bankruptcy. We faced the worst economic recession in 75 years,” Sanders said. The city is healthy now and this year has seen a balanced budget and a monetary reserve amount of 14 percent, he said. “When I started, we had a 2-percent reserve. Wall Street wouldn’t lend us money because they wanted an 8-percent reserve,” he said. “We now have a solid credit ratio and are starting to be viewed as a role model.” 3,200 square feet to 4,000 square feet in styles such as “classic Americana” and “coastal cottage.” Garage placement varies from traditional to tucked behind the home. With the project’s smallest product, they stayed away from having shared alleys with garages facing one another. The developers strongly believe their product is something that will sell well in the area. “People really want a smaller traditional home with a backyard,” said April Tornillo, a project manager at Taylor Morrison. Jan Fuchs, co-chair of the subcommittee, had some concerns about parking. “We’ve found that the city parking standards didn’t work in Carmel Valley, we have a lot of street parking,” Fuchs said. “It’s got to have enough parking or your neighborhood is going to start looking like a lot of the problem neighborhoods we have here… It’s a tightly planned development and I don’t see a lot of room.” Coopersmith said that they do meet city code plus some and will have CC and Rs (Covenant, Codes and Restrictions) that state two cars need to be in a garage. Driveways will also be long enough to park additional cars. Planning board chair Frisco White said there is some concern with isolating the affordable housing component away from the rest of the development and asked them to look at mixing it with the other product to have a more diverse community. He also suggested widening the entrance into the development to make it more of a “grand boulevard” to stress the concept of connectability.
Sanders said previous cuts to city services were restored this year returning 13 more hours a week to libraries and recreation centers. Employment growth was also experienced in two fire academies that each accepted 50 people after years of a new-hire freeze. “We haven’t had that since 2009,” Sanders said. But the balanced budget meant cutting costs and aligning government with the size of its revenue. This resulted in a 15-percent reduction to city employee pensions, and a pension downsize and overhaul for new hires beginning in 2009. Sanders said another savings in the works will come from using managed competition to lower the cost of city employees performing jobs that private companies can do for less. One such job is residential
trash services. San Diego city employees are paid to collect trash. Most other California cities contract with a private company and residents pay for their own trash services. Besides a healthy budget, some expansions that will be left in his wake include a $185-million library that is 60-percent completed. lt will feature 400 computers and a Trolley line to nearby schools. The San Diego Convention Center will also be expanded, complete with a 5-acre park on its rooftop. Sanders said the city is being sued by a union over a self-imposed room tax added to local hotels to fund the center expansion, which also needs approval from the California Coastal Commission. What lies ahead for Sanders? He said he plans to continue walking 70 miles a week and to spend several months in Italy with his wife.
DM
ing on,” said Councilman Don Mosier. Councilman Marc Filanc agreed, but said the city also has an obligation concerning how it is perceived by the public. “We’re in a season where we are getting hundreds of advocacy mailers,” he said. “This is just one more mailer and by sending it out, it looks as though we are advocating.” Mayor Carl Hilliard said the city must follow through with its educational program at the behest of the California Government Code, which states governments must provide “fair and impartial presentation of the facts to aid the electorate.” He said he believes residents’ recent accusations are rooted in their opposition to the plan as a whole. “Let the people who complain, who would complain anyway because they are opposed, complain away,” Hilliard said. “We need to stand our ground.” From the original draft of the Village Specific Plan set forth on March 19, the city made substantial changes, based on public input, to the current plan that is up for vote on Nov. 6: • changed development cap from a total of 600,000 320,000 square feet •parking decreased, from 2,400 total stalls to 1,927 stalls, to coincide with the overall development cap decrease •public finance allocation, estimated at $4 to 5 million decreased by $500,000 *decreased number of multi-family residential units from 140 to 110 •went from no restric-

In response to concerns brought forth by residents, the council asked City Attorney Leslie Devaney to clarify the difference between a fair educational program and unlawful lobbying. When a city communicates with the public regarding a pending ballot measure, she said, there’s always the risk that a court could find that communication to be improper. Regarding Del Mar’s educational efforts, an established precedent sets the stage — in the 2009 case, Vargas v. City of Salinas, the court decided a public agency can distribute any materials it wishes as long as they don’t advocate a particular position. She said a court could interpret a “ramping up” of outreach as advocacy, however, in the case of Del Mar, there are no new methods of outreach being proposed that haven’t been previously used in other stages of the VSP process. For example, the city has already sent out several other informational mailers. “It’s Del Mar’s way of doing things to have lot of outreach with the citizenry,” Devaney said. “The city has an obligation to get the information out, as long as the information is accurate and not persuasive.” Council members agreed that the VSP is a complex plan that calls for education. “We have an obligation to set forth the facts and let people know what the plan is and what people are vot-

To Your Health: West Nile Virus: What to know BY MICHELLE ABBO, MD, SCRIPPS HEALTH As if it isn’t bad enough that mosquitoes leave itchy, swollen welts on their victims that can last for days, this summer’s swarms have brought another problem: West Nile virus. A blood-borne disease that can cause symptoms ranging from mild to life-threatening, West Nile virus has been especially widespread this year. In an average year, about 300 cases are reported; according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), more than 1,100 cases have been reported so far in 2012, and 41 people have died. West Nile is most often transmitted to humans, horses, squirrels and other animals by the bite of an infected mosquito, which acquires the virus from feeding on infected birds. Since donated blood is tested for the virus, blood transfusions are unlikely to spread it. It is not transmitted through casual contact such as touching, kissing or sharing towels. The virus can make some people very sick yet not affect others at all. About 80 percent of those who get the virus have no symptoms. In the other 20 percent, symptoms usually develop within a few days to two weeks after being bitten and usually include fever, headache, body aches, and swollen glands. Some people may develop a skin rash. Most symptoms go away within a few weeks. However, for about one in 150 people, West Nile virus becomes a serious illness, with severe symptoms such as high fever, neck stiffness, disorientation, convulsions, swelling of the brain, coma and paralysis. In rare cases, brain damage can be permanent, and the disease can be fatal. There is no specific treatment for the infection; like the flu, mild cases resolve on their own within a week or two. More severe symptoms may require medical support such as intravenous fluids and nursing care. If you develop symptoms that cause concern, call your doctor or go to an urgent care center or emergency department. While this year’s outbreak is the largest seen in the U.S. so far, since the virus was first detected in the country in 1999 San Diego County has not had any reports of serious human cases of the disease. The County uses helicopters and back-pack devices to drop and spread larvicide, a type of insecticide that targets mosquitoes in the larvae stage, on local waterways. The larvicide is not harmful to people or pets. Not all mosquitoes carry West Nile virus, but since there is no way to tell which ones are infected just by looking at them, the best defense is to avoid them as much as possible. Here are a few tips to keep yourself and your family virusfree: •Stay indoors at dusk and dawn, when mosquitoes are most active. If you do go outdoors, wear long pants and sleeves and use an insect repellant with an EPA-registered active ingredient such as DEET, Picaridin, Oil of Eucalyptus or

Local resident’s new gaming device provides entertainment value at lower cost BY JOE TASH A local businessman is betting that a youthful appetite for downloadable video games, plus a trend of declining sales of video game systems and software, will translate into success for a new, portable gaming device. T. Scott Edwards, who has worked for such consumer electronics giants as Sony Electronics, Cricket Wireless and Hewlett Packard, launched his company, PlayMG, in July. He and former Cricket colleague Chris Choi are co-owners of the startup, and the two men are part of a founding team of nine people who are running the company. Their signature product, which is now undergoing final tests, is a portable device called the MG, which has a 4-inch screen and will sell for $169. Users will be able to play pre-loaded games, or download their own games from on the Wi-Fi-equipped device, which runs the Android platform. Many downloadable, digital games are free, while others cost from 99 cents up to $4 or $5, Edwards said.
Rancho Santa Fe businessman T. Scott Edwards with the MG, his new portable gaming device. The advantage of the eo game industry has seen MG, said Edwards, is that declining sales for eight confamilies won’t have to pay secutive quarters, while the $40 or more for cartridge number of digital game games for game consoles, or downloads to mobile devices $40 per month that is typi- has exploded to more than cally charged for a data plan 15 billion each month. on a smart phone, which can Research and developalso be used to download ment for the new gaming and play games. device is being handled by a “Families are finding company in Korea, while the you can get the same enter- device itself will be manufactainment value for a lot less,” tured in China, Edwards Edwards said. said. He said the console vidPlayMG plans to deliver
its first devices in early November, and to have its device available for purchase at stores and online in time for the holiday season. The introduction of such a portable gaming device is definitely timely due to the rising interest in mobile gaming vs. the sales decline for console systems, said Scott Steinberg, head of the business consulting firm Tech Savvy. The key is whether the device can provide the quality of games that young consumers are looking for, Steinberg said. “If (game) selection is good and the price point is right and they are able to make enough noise,” the MG could prove successful, Steinberg said. “It’s certainly a rising concept out there,” he said. Selection should not be a problem, according to Edwards, as the Google’s Play Store contains some 60,000 downloadable games. PlayMG’s target market is the 52 million people in the United States under the age of 18 who don’t own a smart phone, said Edwards. Many of those teens use
their parents’ smart phones for playing games, leading to frustration on both sides, Edwards said. The new device promises to end that conflict in an economical way. The MG will also include software that allows parents to monitor and control both the use of the player and the amount of money spent on downloading games. One piece of software will send email activity reports to parents, showing what has been downloaded onto to the device, and how long the device has been used. Another — through a partnership with BillMyParents.com — will let parents set up a prepaid account, which can be reloaded, for their children to draw from. Edwards said the system essentially allows parents to provide a “gaming allowance,” which the children can manage by themselves. Ultimately, he said, the system will include a feature that allows children to earn more credit on their account by doing chores around the house.
PlayMG’s marketing strategy includes the use of social media such as Facebook and YouTube to publicize the new device, through such activities as contests for the best user-created videos. Gaming enthusiasts can pre-order the device on Kickstarter.com for between $99 and $149. Edwards said he’s enjoying his first start-up venture because he gets to be involved in so many aspects of the business. On the other hand, PlayMG has far fewer resources than the large companies he has worked for in the past. “I look behind me and there’s not an army anymore,” he said. But he does have a band of loyal supporters/advisers — his four children, ages 12 through 17. “They’ve all been really involved in every element of this,” he said.

BY CLAIRE HARLIN After making it into the top 200 contestants on “American Idol” in 2010, Julianne Manalo said she was really down and discouraged when didn’t advance to the next round. But what seemed like failure to her was actually a jump start to her budding career as a vocalist. “That’s what really pushed me to start singing original music instead of covers to define myself as a musician,” said the Del Mar native. “I’ve always wanted to write my own music, but that pushed me to work harder.” Soon after her audition, the 20-year-old San Diego State University student started writing her first album. She then joined forces with a producer, Julianne Manalo recently released her first single, and her efforts are starting to ‘The Afterparty.’ come to fruition. She recently released her first single, “The Afterparty,” which is available on iTunes and Amazon. A demo album is also in the works, and Manalo has been keeping herself busy performing around San Diego. On Sept. 12, she sang the national anthem for about 2,000 spectators at a convention center conference and, in November, she’ll be performing locally at the Asian American Music Festival. She said her album defines her as a pop artist — a few ballads mixed in with mainly “fun and dandy” tracks. The inspiration behind her recent single is “letting go and letting the music take over,” she said. “It’s an anthem to get you out there and have some fun and be yourself,” she said, adding that other tracks on the demo are about experiences, relationships and people in her life. “Some are about the happy parts of love and some are about the times when it gets tough,” the Torrey Pines High School graduate said. Manalo writes all the lyrics and melodies of her songs, and her producer helps with the instrumentals. Her time in the studio is a hands-on, collaborative process. “It’s done on professional synthesizers with special effects,” she said. “I’m right there with my producer creating music.” Manalo has been passionate about music ever since she was a toddler, and she’s also been a natural performer who loves the stage. “When I was 3 years old, my dad used to play piano with me and taught me how to sing,” she said, adding that he plays and sings also. Around the age of 6, Manalo was singing a lot of karaoke, and was highly involved in her dance classes. When Manalo was 8, she sang Celine Dion’s “My Heart Will Go On” in front of 300 people at a family event, and it was then when she decided that she really loved to perform and wanted to pursue it. She continued performing and practicing throughout her childhood, and in high school Manalo held the role of lead singer for the Torrey Pines Jazz Band for four years. She was recognized as an “Outstanding Soloist” at the Seattle JazzFestival, and she also headed her school’s dance team. For more information on Manalo, visit www.juliannemanalo.com and to see her perform, visit www.youtube.com/julesaurora1.

After surviving cancer, Del Mar woman shifts focus to philanthropy BY CLAIRE HARLIN Having just celebrated five years of being a breast cancer survivor, Del Mar resident Catherine Blair remembers well hearing the terrifying words “you have cancer.” However, what she realized as she went through treatment over the next many months was just how lucky she had been. She had the support of family, friends, and the funds and insurance to pay for the needed treatment. “I can’t imagine hearing those words and not knowing who to go to or not having the money to treat the illness,” she said. The experience inspired Blair to retire from her role as dean at The Bishop’s School and look for a way to help other women facing breast cancer. She got involved locally with the San Diego affiliate of Susan G. Komen for the Cure, joining the non-profit’s board of directors in 2009. After four years on the board and three years serving as chair of the organization’s grants committee, Blair is now serving as president-elect of the San Diego affiliate, which puts on the annual Race for the Cure, which brings in more than $1.2 million each year for local breast cancer initiatives and research. The five-kilometer
Catherine Blair introduces grant recipients at the 2012 San Diego Women’s Foundation Grants Celebration. Courtesy photo race will take place once again this year on Nov. 4 in Balboa Park, and Blair will be leading her race team of about 40 people. For five years, she’s headed a team sponsored by Manpower, a staffing company she and her husband are co-owners of, and the team has raised nearly $20,000 each year, with about half of that coming from the sponsorship. Blair said the San Diego Susan
G. Komen Race for the Cure is often confused with the national organization that organizes the wellattended three-day walk for breast cancer, which raises money specifically for research at a national level. “We want to make the community aware of what we do locally in San Diego with the funds we raise,” Blair said. As chair of the grants commit-
tee, Blair helps decide what Komen’s grant priorities will be each year. The committee does this with the help of an outside entity that assesses where gaps in local services are. Komen’s board then grants money to programs providing uninsured women with mammograms, surgery, chemotherapy and living service. Seventy-five percent of money goes to local programs and 25 percent funds breast cancer research. Blair said it is incredibly fulfilling to be part of the grant process, and that carries over into her other major activity. The San Diego Women’s Foundation, which was started by her best friend, Linda Katz (also of Del Mar), who, with her husband, are the other partners in Manpower. Blair has been with the foundation since its beginnings in 2000. Like many of the philanthropic group’s 200 members, she simply paid her dues for many years and voted on where the money went. Since its inception, the foundation has granted close to $2 million to a number of a local arts, education, environment and health programs. But since her retirement, she has gotten more involved and serves on both the grants commit-
tee and board of directors. “You can be involved as much or as little as you want,” she said, adding that the foundation is always seeking new members with fresh ideas. “One of the best things about being involved is that the women really energize and inspire me … They have some of the most interesting backgrounds and education accomplishments of any women I’ve ever met.” You’d think Blair would have her hands full, but she also started her own business in 2010, based on a newfound passion — making needlepoint canvases. The idea started with her own project of crafting Christmas stockings for her family, which she latched onto and didn’t want to stop. “I never thought of myself as artistic, but I realized I loved needlepoint and I loved designing and painting canvases.” Through her company, she is also able to support a cause she loves by donating up to 25 percent of each canvas sale to Komen San Diego. For more information on her business, visit www.hummingbirdneedlepoint.com. To find out more about the entities Blair is active in, visit www.komensandiego.org and www.sdwomensfoundation.org.

Saving kids’ lives driving passion for Voices for Children and gala co-chairs BY KATHY DAY Longtime friends Lise Wilson and Debby Fishburn share a passion for giving back to their community. Now they’re sharing something else – with their husbands they are chairing the annual gala for Voices for Children, a nonprofit they say saves children’s lives. The 10th annual Starry, Starry Night gala on Sept. 29 will raise funds to support the organization that provides Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs) for the more than 5,600 children in the San Diego County foster care system. With its new venue at the Rancho Valencia Resort, which has just undergone an extensive renovation, the event will feature entertainment by blues guitarist Coco Montoya, who for a decade played with John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers before starting his own band. “Through no fault of their own these children who are in the dependency court system need someone to speak up for them,” said Fishburn, a former executive with one of the nation’s top retail stores who served on the Voices board for nine years and as board chair. “It is hard not to be compelled by the mission.” Wilson, an attorney who was named to the VFC board only a year ago, said she was introduced to the nonprofit when she attended a previous Starry, Starry Night gala where she heard from a teen foster child who “spoke quite movingly about her experience … I

They make recommendations about the child’s placement, whether it is to remain in a foster home, be reunited or adopted. And many, Wilson noted, stay with their case children for years, even until they age out of the foster system at 18 or 19. Fishburn learned about the program when she was in the Junior League. One of their projects was reading court files on dependency court cases – a task now handled by Voices for Children. “Several of our members were very active with Voices in its infancy,” she said. Then there was a small office in the juvenile court with a staff of two; now the staff totals 40 and while there’s still a small office in

Lise Wilson and Debby Fishburn the Kearny Mesa courthouse to handle day-to-day court activities, there’s also a full suite of offices offsite for the administration, including CEO Sharon M. Lawrence, and supervisors who oversee the CASAs. Fishburn and Wilson met about 30 years ago when Wilson and her date Steven Strauss – and now husband — went to a party with a new group of young lawyers where their friend Wain Fishburn “introduced a new gal into the group of lawyers,” Wilson recalled.. Soon they were attending each other’s weddings and becoming fast friends. Through the years both have been involved in numerous charitable organizations, including Las Patronas, the philanthropy that raises funds for a number of causes throughout San Diego County.

of the county’s premiere charity events. Wilson, who became involved with Las Patronas at her friend’s urging, also chaired the Jewel Ball, which is held each year at the La Jolla Beach & Tennis Club. Now they are putting their expertise in organizing charity events to work for Voices for Children’s Sept. 29 gala. While their excitement about the evening from the menu to the venue is evident, it’s the cause that has them working countless hours. From tasting what they say will be an exciting menu put together by Rancho Valencia Resort’s executive chef Eric Bauer to the music and live and silent auctions, it is the cause that keeps them going — and the stories that will be shared bout the CASAs’ work. “Our focus is on Voices’ mission statement,” Wilson said, but the idea is to plan
“a fun event that will make them want to come back, to involve people.” Fishburn noted that a successful fundraiser “showcases they agency. We only have people’s attention for a short time. We want to educate them and get their support.” Because Voices for Children is 99 percent privately funded, she added, “we are reliant on people contributing from our community. … This is our opportunity to shine a light on the issue and raise the profile going forward.” With 400 tickets available – slightly more than two dozen were left at press time – the two are hopeful they can raise a lot of money.. Fishburn said the organization is not easy to explain in one word – “We don’t cure cancer” – but it is a worthy mission. When Voices presents its orientation programs to prospective volunteers, one of the points they make is how many children are in foster care, representing the figure graphically in a drawing of a line of nearly 20 school buses filled with children. This year, Voices aims to enlist 482 volunteers to supplement the 800 already serving – not nearly enough to provide a CASA for every child. In the first two months of the fiscal year, they have recruited 85. “Our goal is to have every child in the system have a CASA,” Wilson said. She emphasized that
Become a CASA Attend an orientation session: • Sept. 29 10:30 a.m. to Noon Escondido Public Library • Oct. 13 10 to 11:30 a.m. - San Marcos Branch Library • Oct. 17 5:30 to 7 p.m. - Kearny Mesa Learn more and sign up for a Volunteer Information Session at www.speakupnow.org her friends who are judges in the dependency court have told her how much they appreciate and respect the CASAs on the cases they hear. And she added, they are quite receptive to the recommendations they make. It costs about $2,500 a year to support each volunteer, Wilson said, and while not everyone can be a CASA, she said she hopes people will “fund a CASA” – or half a CASA or even a part of one. “There is an amazing return on investment,” Fishburn added as Wilson chimed in, “It’s a bargain.” Editor’s note: Freelance writer Kathy Day is a Voices for Children CASA who joined the program after retiring from her post as editor of the La Jolla Light.

Swimmer to tackle the English Channel in memory of beloved coach BY LINDA HUTCHISON When you’re a young woman returning from the funeral of another young woman, what do you think about? For some, it might be returning safely, quickly and gratefully to normal life. But if you’re Allison (Alli) DeFrancesco, a competitive swimmer, and you’ve just lost your favorite swim coach to cancer, you think in different terms – especially if you’re a cancer survivor yourself. Just a year after receiving a bone marrow transplant in 2010 to combat Hodgkin’s lymphoma, DeFrancesco attended the funeral of her NYU swim coach Lauren Beam, who died at 32 of colon cancer. On the long flight back to San Diego, DeFrancesco found herself exploring new territory. “I felt I had to do something,” she said. “I had to turn a negative into a positive. I wanted to do something personal, yet universally meaningful.” Why not swim the English Channel, also known as the Everest of swimming? What better way to celebrate the memory of

For news and progress reports about Allison DeFrancesco, visit: • Updates: http://channeledin.tumblr.com • YouTube Video: http://bit.ly/allisonvideo her coach and her own recovery? “It was also a way of reclaiming my life and not letting cancer define it,” said DeFrancesco, who has been cancer-free for two years. Once back home in Del Mar, she mentioned the idea to her swim club coach Joe Benjamin and he encouraged her to go forward. She reserved the required pilot boat and time slot, Sept. 2324. (Because bad weather can delay English Channel swims, the date is not exact.) Just as DeFrancesco will plunge into the Channel, she plunged into her rigorous training routine: swim-
ming 40 miles, six mornings and evenings a week, alternating ocean (La Jolla Cove) and pool. She also crosstrains at a gym in Cardiff with a personal trainer. She fits her workouts around her full-time position as a registrar for the Museum of Contemporary Art. In addition to the challenge of training, she also has to eat enough food to add 10-30 pounds to her lean 5’10” frame, so she’ll be able to handle the 60-degree English Channel water. “Eating and preparing food has become my second full-time job,” she said, not always easy after a full day of training and working. The routine is also helping her heal and learn patience, she said, both as a person and as a swimmer. A competitive sprinter by training, she must now call on her mental as well as physical strength to swim the distance. DeFrancesco’s love of swimming began early – at the age of one — when she jumped into the deep end of her grandparent’s swimming pool in Del Mar. Her uncle dove in and rescued her.

Cancer survivor Allison DeFrancesco plans to swim the frigid waters of the English Channel Sept. 23-24 to honor her swim coach who died of colon cancer last year. COURTESY PHOTO “Growing up, I was always in the ocean, body surfing on the backs of my father and uncle,” she said. She went on to become a competitive swimmer in high school and at NYU, where she majored in art history. The same uncle who saved DeFrancesco 23 years ago, Richard Wheelock, Jr., will accompany her across the Channel, in the pilot boat with the captain and her athletic trainer, Brian
Finn. She’ll enter the water at Shakespeare Beach in England (next to the White Cliffs of Dover), where her mother will help send her off, and exit at Cap Gris-Nez in France. Although the straightacross distance is about 23 miles, swimmers must zigzag through unpredictable currents, which adds miles and can mean finishing as much as eight miles north or south of Cap Gris-Nez.
The average time for the English Channel swim is 13 hours. During the swim, DeFrancesco will be fed liquid carbs and monitored closely for stroke count. The Channel Swim Association does not allow wet suits. “It’ll just be my Speedo, swim cap, goggles, and glo sticks,” said DeFrancesco. And grease. The biggest external challenges facing Channel swimmers are weather, currents, jellyfish, floating debris, diesel fuel, and other ships (the Channel is the world’s busiest shipping lane, with approximately 500 ships passing through every day). DeFrancesco is still raising money for her swim and plans to donate any extra funds to First Descents, a non-profit organization that helps young adults with cancer enjoy outdoor adventures. A dual citizen of the United States and Italy, she worked at the Guggenheim Museum in Venice and sees more travel and more outdoor activities in her future.

Rotary Corner
Join the Rotary Club of Del Mar BY EMILY FIGUEIREDO, PUBLICITY CHAIR Rotary International is one of the largest service club organizations in the world with over 1.2 million global members committed to “Service Above Self.” Part of this 1.2 million membership includes 70 active members of the local Del Mar chapter. Chartered in May of 1954, the Rotary Club of Del Mar joins the international effort of serving others here in San Diego County as well as the world abroad. Membership, therefore, is a commitment to this service but also to fellow Rotarians here in Del Mar and globally. It connects a group of people dedicated to the same philosophies and passions while committing their time to each other. Every week we Del Mar Rotarians share lunch, discuss local and international issues and have fun together. And we’d love for new people to join us and become members too! With all that Rotary has to offer, new members come from all walks of life with varying yet similar interests to support a greater good. Newer member Brendan McNamara, a local financial advisor, joined the Del Mar Rotary Club because of its overall value for providing a blend of mentorship with charitable purpose. Another new member, Kim Guevarra-Harris who has a career focused on international aid and security, came with a specific passion for helping children in the Middle East and Mexico. Newly inducted member Mark Henshaw blends marketing and philanthropy for a living and has found a rewarding role in the club doing the same through website support and helping the club accomplish its mission. Annie Garcia of the Boys & Girls Clubs seeks to expand her passion for local youth in need as Max Busch, a recent MBA grad originally from Germany, joined to expand his local social circle. Here in the Rotary Club of Del Mar you will find members ranging in age from their 20s to their 90s, all bringing their individual hearts to one mission of collaborating on helping others and having fun together while doing it. Of course, after all of the hard work is done the club finds time to attend the races, meet at happy hour or throw parties in Powerhouse Park like the upcoming Chili & Quackers Challenge on Oct. 20. We would love for any interested community member to join us for lunch and see what being a member of the Rotary Club of Del Mar is like. We meet each Thursday at noon in the Fellowship Hall of St. Peter’s Episcopal Church on 14th Street. The Del Mar Plaza has generously donated free parking across the street in the plaza garage for Rotarians and visitors.

RACING continued from page 4 Meet was in fact the Dream Meet,� said Joe Harper, a Del Mar resident, following the last race on closing day. “There were major increases in betting handles both on track and off track, the largest purse distribution for horsemen in our history, plenty of horses which led to an increase in the number of races and field sizes, a record number of pick 6 carry overs and another record opening day crowd. Except for some pesky elevators, a pretty smooth operation.� Throughout the season, the track’s storied history was celebrated. On Opening Saturday, a Bing Crosby look-a-like reenacted welcoming the first guest to the track, as Bing had done on July 3, 1937 when the track opened. Crosby was one of the most famous entertainers of his day. One of Bing’s grandsons, who looked more like his famous grandfather than the look-a-like, presented the trophy on Sunday, July 29, for the G1 Bing Crosby Stakes won by Amazombie. Entertainment, concerts and giveaways combined with competitive racing to draw casual and veteran racegoers from far and wide.
For those who liked horse racing, there was plenty of good competition on the track, including the $1,000,000 Pacific Classic which drew a competitive field of 10 and was won by East Coast invader Dullahan, owned by Donegal Racing. The 3-year-old colt took on older horses to win the 1 1/4-mile test. Earlier this year, Dullahan had finished third in the Kentucky Derby. He is a half brother to 2009 Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird. A total of $23,000,368 was wagered on and off track on Pacific Classic Day, the fourth highest figure for that day, according to track Chief Financial Officer Mike Ernst. Donegal Racing ranked as leading owners at the meet by earnings, with the $600,000 in purse money from the Pacific Classic. Ranked second to Donegal was Jay Em Ess Stakes with $423,970 in purse money won. In races won, owners Glen Hill Stable and Doubledown Stable tied with five apiece. Each day, a HippityHop Derby added color at the track between races, supervised by the track’s director of simulcasting, Paul Porter, and featuring youngsters from Camp Del Mar. Fans clapped or cringed each day when an aspiring vocalist would “Sing with Bing,�
giving an a cappella rendition of the first few lines of “Where the Turf Meets the Surf,� the song played before the first race and following the last race each day. Fans enjoyed the special arrangements played each day by bugler Les Kepics prior to the last race. For those in the front office, it all comes down to the final numbers. During the 37-day race meet, total attendance on- track was 652,034, down 1.2 percent from 660,245 in 2011. Daily average attendance for 2012 was 17,623. Total pari-mutuel handle on-track was $87,474,905, an increase of 13.3 percent over 2011, when the handle wagered on-track was $77,224,199. The race meet’s total parimutuel handle, (including all off-track and advance deposit wagering and uncommingled sources) was $458,519,873, for a daily average of $12,392,429. This is an increase of 6.6 percent over 2011 figure of $430,278,585. The increased handle allowed the daily average purses paid to horsemen to increase to a record $667,755. “We are delighted with the outstanding results of our 2012 race meet,� said Mike Ernst, DMTC’s executive vice president, finance
and CFO. “Our racing, marketing and operations departments – as well as our entire staff – worked extremely hard on this memorable meet. With the tremendous support of our horsemen, our 75th anniversary marked a rewarding – and as is usually the case at Del Mar – entertaining summer of Thoroughbred sport.� The major blot on the summer meet is the equine deaths, which this summer totalled 11, nine euthanized as a result of injuries and two dying from heart attacks. A new synthetic racing surface, Polytrack, was installed in 2007 which has reduced the number of fatalities. “There’s never a perfect meeting (regarding horse breakdowns), but I think it’s better than it was before the (Polytrack) surface was put down in 2007,� said Dr. Rick Arthur, equine medical director for the California Horse Racing Board. “I think they’re getting much more experience at managing the track.� Trainer Jack Carava commented on the racing surface in the Del Mar Stable notes, “I thought Rich (Tedesco, track superintendent) did a good job with the track, kept the injuries down
to a minimum and I thought it was a good meet all the way around ... Successful, obviously, for the handle and stuff like that. Field size was up and that was something we haven’t had for a long time. Having trouble getting horses in because there were too many entries as opposed to not enough was very different.� The kaleidoscope of sights, sounds and smells that was the summer race meet at Del Mar is a memory. The wafting fragrance of the Kettle Corn, the brightly colored jockey silks, the dusky smell of the horses, the bugler’s call to post have faded, not to return until next July.

Hal Streckert in the path of the bull!
Local scientist survives charging bull in Spain, ready to tackle another adventure BY JOE TASH Local resident Hal Streckert went out for a run this summer, cracked his forehead on the pavement and needed three stitches. The story wouldn’t be all that unusual, except that when Streckert, a 57-year-old scientist, fell down, he turned his head to see a bull charging toward him from a few feet away. At the time, Streckert was in Pamplona, Spain, with hundreds of other people participating in the city’s famous running of the bulls. “I ran with (the bulls), then went down. That’s a bad thing. When I looked up, a bull was coming right toward me,” Streckert said. Streckert turned on his side and tried to roll away from the charging animal, and was struck in the back as it went by, driving his forehead into the ground. As he picked himself up, he saw blood dripping onto the street. “That’s when I knew, my run’s over,” Streckert said. He rolled under a barricade and received first-aid treatment from paramedics, then walked to a local hospital to get stitched up. Streckert, who works on developing products such as rocket nozzles, satellite batteries and bio fuels for General Atomics in San Diego, traveled to Pamplona in July with his son, Kyle, and a friend, Paul Clark of Vista. It was Streckert’s second visit to Pamplona for the bull run, and each time, he actually ran with the bulls on two separate mornings. When he’s not dodging large, agitated, horned animals, he enjoys tamer activities, such as sky diving, scuba diving, base-jumping and, in the past, mountain climbing. “It’s exciting, it makes you feel alive. It’s one of those things in life that takes your breath away and you just have to do it,” he said. Streckert said that since 1924, 15 people have been killed during the running of the bulls in Pamplona; hundreds are also injured each year. His wife, Susan, “thinks I’m a little crazy,” but, “she understands this is something I do, something I need.” Streckert’s son, Kyle, 31, who also lives in Rancho Santa Fe, accompanied his father on both trips to Pamplona, and many other travel adventures. He noted that in all the activities the pair have undertaken, the only times they were hurt was when Kyle received a gash on his arm, and Hal’s recent encounter with the bull. “Once you start pushing the limit, you have to continue that. If you don’t, it’s like a demotion, like you’re cheating yourself,” said Kyle, who works as a server at the Cinepolis Luxury Cinemas in Del Mar Heights. In spite of his father’s injury during the

Courtesy photos Pamplona bull run, Kyle said, “I can’t wait till next year.” Also on the pair’s “to do” list: shark diving, without a cage, in South Africa. “We enjoy those things because they’re out there, they’re offered and everybody should try to experience them,” Kyle said. The running of the bulls is part of an annual festival, called San Fermin, which is held in Pamplona from July 6-14. The bull runs are held each morning at 8 a.m., starting the second day. According to Streckert, participants only need to duck under the barricade before the day’s run, and they can take part. Before the six bulls and six steers are released from the corral into the half-mile long, barricaded course, police check for people who are drunk or carrying cameras, and make them leave. Those under 18 also are not allowed to participate, but Streckert said enforcement is sporadic. Participants know the bulls have been released when they hear a rocket shot off, and the entire run from corral to bull ring takes about four minutes. Some of the participants make it into the ring, where the first group of bulls is penned, before others are released into the crowd. Each night, bull fights are held, in which the six original bulls that participated in the morning’s run are killed. At the end of this year’s festival, four people who were injured during the running of the bulls remained hospitalized, and all were expected to recover, according to the festival’s official website. Some have protested the running of the bulls and subsequent bull fights, contending they amount to animal cruelty. In past years, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, has organized a “running of the nudes” to publicize its concerns, and held topless “lie-ins” on Pamplona streets.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion Neighborhood 5 truly appreciates work of ‘Paint Elf’ I would like to say a big thank you to the “Paint Elf” that has graced Neighborhood 5 with painting all of the common area walls. The homeowners that live on the other side of the wall have tried very unsuccessfully to have the City of San Diego maintain them and have repeatedly been told that the walls are not part of the “Maintenance Overlay Zone.” What is the old saying — “Out of Sight Out of Mind!” While I am sure a majority of the Neighbor-
hood 5 homeowners are not aware of the responsibility of this task, our Paint Elf is and has paid for all of it out of the his or her own pocket. For those homeowners that live along one of Neighborhood 5’s many walls of the Baldwin Community that choose to maintain their property, we commend you for a job well done. Here is hoping that with the help of our Paint Elf we will all care as much about our community and
prosper from this person’s kindness and generosity. Karen Cody Past Neighborhood 5 Carmel Valley Planning Board Rep, and Neighborhood 5 Homeowners P.S. Thank you to the City of San Diego for the plantings and bark in front of now newly-painted walls. Our area now looks like our property taxes are finally being used to improve our community.
Finally, Del Mar can achieve its goals In 1976 I, along with many other residents, worked on the Del Mar Community Plan. Our goal was to create a vibrant, economically viable village center to better serve residents and visitors alike in a walkable pedestrian atmosphere that preserved the unique charm and character of Del Mar. Many envisioned a delightful village with widened sidewalks, beautiful land and streetscape with sidewalk cafes, view points and places to gather with friends as the social and cultural center of the community, reminiscent in character to some of the great small villages in Europe. Instead, what remains after 36 years from 15th Street south to the existing city hall, with some exceptions, are old, unattractive decaying buildings, shops and businesses that are barely surviving and upgrades to properties are not economically feasible due to existing Del Mar codes. Del Mar can be better, change is needed. The Village Specific Plan can achieve the goals desired by the community for over the past 36 years. The City Council and planning staff have been sensitive to residents’ input with over 90 community meetings. The VSP has been carefully designed with checks, balances and safeguards, plus the planning commission and design review board to monitor all projects and modify the 30-year plan at any time if warranted. As I hear opponents that fear change, I
am reminded of those who claimed the L’Auberge would create massive traffic problems and destroy our village. Neither, of course, occurred. The L’Auberge has been a source of pride for the community and a gathering place for residents and their guests. The L’Auberge provides the city revenue approaching $1 million each year in room, property and sales taxes — or in the range of $15 million to date. Which, needless to say, has been of enormous benefit to the city for residents’ services. Plus the L’Auberge has provided a park on the prime corner for community local events, such as the annual Christmas tree party for the community or the Peter Sprague concerts at New Year’s Eve and an Easter egg hunt for kids. The L’Auberge also provided $500,000, making it possible to secure the Del Mar Library and provide 60 public parking spaces for the village. These are just some of the benefits that the residents and the village would not have today if we, as a community, had listened to those who had fear of change. The Village Specific Plan can finally make it possible to achieve the charming, vibrant, pedestrian-friendly village we have all desired. Jim Watkins Del Mar
District One candidate forum to be held Sept. 19 Thad Kousser, associate professor of political science at UC San Diego, will moderate a debate between District 1 city council candidates — incumbent Sherry Lightner (D) and challenger Ray Ellis (R) — on Wednesday, Sept. 19, from 7:30 to 9 p.m. in the Sherwood Auditorium at the Museum of Contemporary Art, 700 Prospect St., La Jolla. Presented by the Carmel Valley News, Del Mar Times and La Jolla Light, the debate will begin with 3-minute opening statements from Lightner and Ellis, and then launch into their answers to questions from the community. The News/Times staff will grill the candidates about traffic congestion, infrastructure and environmental issues, and some social concerns, but your thoughts and insights are needed, too. Mark the date on your calendar and be sure to stop by and listen to the discourse.
This election will be close! You may recall that in the June primary Ray Ellis received 14,133 (45.61 percent) of the votes cast and Sherri Lightner got 12,889 (41.59 percent). Each promises to lead and intercede for local residents, but there is a lot of work and a variety of plans on the horizon. Who can best help deliver them? This newspaper group thanks Professor Kousser for agreeing to moderate the debate. He holds a Ph.D. from UC Berkeley (2002) and is an expert in state politics, legislatures and legislative elections. The debate will be videotaped and available on delmartimes.net the next day. Please send the questions you want answered via email by 9 a.m., Monday, Sept. 16, to executive editor Lorine Wright at editor@rsfreview.com. There will be also be question cards to fill out at the debate. See you there.
Roundabouts would benefit Del Mar As someone who has come to visit in Del Mar and been stuck in the traffic at the stop signs, I was glad to see that roundabouts are being proposed. The circumstance is remarkably similar to La Jolla Blvd. in Bird Rock. In Bird Rock they have been a resounding success. It is a pleasant transit now. We went from two lanes down to one and increased our parking with diagonal parking also. All the landscaping makes it look significantly better and more uniform throughout. There are five roundabouts in total on our main street. We have thousands of cars driven by tourists coming through from Pacific Beach to La Jolla and they all seem to find a way to negotiate the circles. There was definitely a learning curve — where people went slower than usual while the majority of the “regulars” acclimated to them — but that was a short time. There are some “hold outs” that still refuse to use them — but a really small number. The people that don’t want to use them have not resulted in more traffic on the side streets — which was a fear of parallel street residents. What has happened is that most drivers have realized it is far faster to stay on La Jolla Blvd. with no stops than to take a side street with stops at about every intersection. There was re-striping and other traffic control installed on the side streets at the same time as the roundabouts. Bird Rock had a very comprehensive plan. In particular, we used to have a regular bottleneck of traffic at the intersection of La Jolla Blvd. and Forward where there was a stop sign.
Also, it would bottleneck at the light at La Jolla Blvd. and Bird Rock Avenue. It took forever to get through during rush hour times. People hit some pretty high speeds going through while there were two lanes. Now, there may be short, infrequent pauses as a pedestrian crosses or someone pulls out of a parking space, but for the most part is non-stop through Bird Rock. People travel at a slower speed overall and don’t stop which is a faster transit time vs racing to the next stop sign and then getting stuck at that intersection while it moves like molasses as all the cars take turns. It has also resulted in drivers actually seeing the area as they drive through. Bird Rock is thriving. Pedestrians have much safer access to cross the street — so they do —which is good for business. It is by far more pedestrian-friendly — just check out the regular gathering at Bird Rock Coffee Roasters — they spill out onto the sidewalks, it’s great. I live in the middle of where the roundabouts are in Bird Rock, so I am on the street using the roundabouts multiple times a day — love them. I also live on one of the parallel streets and have not experienced an increase in traffic. At the time that ours were proposed, there was nowhere to go and see them in action locally. Now, I invite you down to Bird Rock to experience it for yourself firsthand. Especially for the business owners who wonder about the potential impacts — Bird Rock merchants can be a great resource.

Vote ‘No’ in November! The City of Del Mar has adopted a Village Specific Plan for the downtown area. The primary purpose of the Specific Plan is to provide more revenue for the City from sales tax (more shops), room tax (more boutique hotels), developer fees (new construction) and property tax (greatly increased commercial assessed values from Prop 13 era), plus provide affordable housing downtown to meet the State mandate, and also reduce the amount of auto traffic on Old Highway 101, the only coastal highway west of I-5. Those are all laudable goals for the city, but are they what the residents want? Who asked for such an exhaustive change in the future of downtown Del Mar? No one, but the City Council! And it will drastically change the small neighborhood village of Del Mar forever, if ever implemented. What’s in it for the residents? Nothing, but more parking and traffic problems in the residential areas, prompting fees to park in front of your home, or no parking in front of your home to accommodate the increased side-street traffic from the new one-lane main street. Also, more foul smells, pollution, late night noises and rats emanating from all the new restaurants! Let’s make sure it doesn’t get implemented – vote “No” in November! Revitalization will occur through the freemarket without onerous regulation! Ralph Peck, Del Mar

Education Matters/Opinion
There they go again... BY MARSHA SUTTON A direct-mail piece was sent out two weeks ago to many residents of the 92014 and 92130 zip codes, about the $76.8 million General Obligation bond initiative the Del Mar Union School District trustees voted to place on the November ballot. In the famous words of a former governor and president, “There you go again.” The missteps that occur with uncommon regularity in Del Mar just keep on coming. This four-page full-color glossy piece, devoid of meaty details, includes “frequently asked questions” and a letter from DMUSD superintendent Holly McClurg outlining the district’s sketchy need for more money. The ostensible intent of the mailer is to inform constituents about the bond, which asks voters to approve taxing themselves $8.44 per $100,000 in property value annually, for about 30 years, for a vague assortment of facility upgrades. A list in the mailer of what the bond will fund includes constructing “modern facilities to prevent overcrowding.” Although the district’s enrollment is currently declining, with empty seats at several schools, this refers to a projected need in the distant future to build a ninth school, based on long-range estimates. Also on the list is to “repair or replace leaky roofs.” Leaky roofs? Is this a current problem in the district’s relatively new schools or another anticipated future need? General Obligation bond money is supposed to be spent on existing overcrowding and on improving or upgrading facilities in immediate need of repair and modernization. The money is not to be used for some far-off scenario or a dreamed-up wish list. Here’s another one: “Create potential budget savings through increased efficiency that could be used to help offset state budget cuts, attract and retain qualified teachers and protect the quality of education in our schools.” GO bond money is not to be used for teachers’ sala-
Marsha Sutton ries, nor to “offset state budget cuts” by using the money as a way to preserve the general fund and insulate reserves in a budget crisis. Perhaps the biggest overall objection to the mailer is that it blurs the line between “information” and “advocacy” – an important legal distinction for campaign material. Although it’s clear the mailer’s intent is to advocate in favor of the bond, the district’s lawyers have deemed it “informational” which is allowed. Producing such a mailer certainly violates the spirit of the law, which prohibits public agencies from using taxpayer money to lobby taxpayers for more taxpayer money. But it doesn’t specifically state, “Vote for this bond,” so it gets the goahead from the district’s team of attorneys and consultants. Because the mailer’s return address was the school district’s main office, the question was if the DMUSD paid for this piece and how much it cost. Delay, evade, dismiss “It was paid for by local sponsors,” said McClurg, on Aug. 31. Curiously, she claimed she didn’t know who they were and declined to be more specific. “I’d have to find out more information about that. But it has not been funded by the district.” Would the district be billed for it later? Would the campaign committee be reimbursing the district in the future? No and no, she said. She insisted the mailer was “informational and not campaigning” so the district could legally pay for and distribute the piece. Fine, but who paid for it if the district didn’t? With a promise to name these mysterious “sponsors,” I waited. And waited. Until, after days
passed and several calls to her were not returned, I asked again in an email, “Who are these people? If the district didn’t pay a cent, as you say, then who did?” This came back from McClurg: “The district worked with a bond planning and information consultant (TBWB Strategies) to develop and produce the informational mailing.” [I’m omitting here her hype about how great the piece is, how these mailers are commonplace, and how counsel approved it.] “Due to miscommunication between my office and our consultant,” her note continued, “the consultant has agreed to cover the cost of the publishing and mailing. The consultant will not seek to be paid or reimbursed for this expense from the district.” Miscommunication? This reply raised more questions than it answered. Consultants paying for a direct-mail campaign without expecting reimbursement is an unfamiliar concept. Because this sounded odd, the next request was to see the contract with the bond consultants, and any relevant invoices. These contracts are public documents that should have been made available when the board voted to place the measure on the ballot, if not long before. For example, the San Dieguito Union High School District, which also has a bond measure before voters this November, made its contract with the same consultants public in February, with amendments made public in March. Yet Del Mar’s superintendent chose to treat my request as an official California Public Records Act, giving her 10 days to comply and transforming a business conversation into adversarial legal wrangling. The mystery sponsor Frustrated by McClurg’s delaying tactics, I called the consultant directly. Charles Heath, partner of TBWB Strategies consulting firm based San Francisco, dutifully returned my call the same day. So who paid for the mailer? “There’s some history here,” Heath began. He explained that the bond pro-
cess started with former DMUSD supt. Jim Peabody. Then there was a transition to McClurg when she took over on July 1. “After we worked with Dr. McClurg and her staff to develop the piece and print the piece and mail the piece, she was caught off-guard by the cost,” Heath said. He explained that TBWB’s previous arrangement with Peabody, that the district would cover the costs, was apparently not transmitted to McClurg. He said he was “working under an assumption that that information had been transferred internally” and accepted the blame for not making her aware of this. “It was an oversight on my part,” he said. “I should have been more clear with Dr. McClurg about the costs associated with the mailer.” So McClurg thought TBWB was paying for it, when TBWB assumed the district was. Why didn’t she say so in the first place? Heath said he worked with the district to develop the message in the mailer, “in conjunction with their legal counsel, in order to raise awareness and distribute information about this issue.” Because it meets the legal definition of an informational and not an advocacy piece, “it is a legitimate expense of the school district to educate and inform their electorate,” Heath contended. Even so, due to the misunderstanding and to maintain good client relations, TBWB will pick up the costs, he said, and the district will not be billed for any expenses related to the mailer. Heath was also forthright about the contract TBWB has with Del Mar Union. He said there are two components: expenses and fees. The expenses include hard costs “associated with printing and postage and things of that nature that under normal circumstances we would bill to the district,” he said. “And then there’s our consulting fee which is paid if the bond is successful.” If the measure passes in November, TBWB will be paid $25,000 for each issuance of the bond, he said. Here’s my favorite part of our conversation: “It’s a public contract,” Heath said. “You’re welcome to request it from the district.” Culture of secrecy McClurg wouldn’t tell
PAGE 19
me but I learned from Heath that the cost of the printing was $2,400, the postage was $2,470, and the number of pieces printed was 13,492. To be clear, for less than $5,000, McClurg dithered, prevaricated and inexplicably stonewalled requests for information about a mailer that was a legal district expense, being technically “informational” and not advocacy (as questionable as those labels are). So why the secrecy about the “sponsor” of the mailer and reluctance to explain the “miscommunication”? Why deflect a request for a contract that’s public information? Why did McClurg escalate that request for a public contract into a full-blown CPRA demand, a decision that now involves unnecessary legal expenses for the DMUSD? Clearly, this is not a district that operates under the guiding principles of transparency and accountability. It’s a sad day when a private political consulting firm is more candid and cooperative than the local publicly-funded school district. The Del Mar Union School District’s dogged determination to withhold public information and unacceptable disregard for the public’s right to know does not inspire confidence. A school district that places more value on secrecy than full disclosure deserves to expect resistance from voters at the polls this November. — Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr.com.

The Carmel Valley Mitey Mite team pulled out another victory on Sept. 8 against Granite Hills, winning by a score of 26-6. #2 Aidan Stewart scored the game’s first touchdown with a quarterback sweep. #15 Andrew Prag had a huge game at center, and pulled double duty as the placekicker. Fans cheered wildly as they watched Prag’s extra point kick sail through the goal posts following Stewart’s touchdown. Brothers #11 Samson Fanua and #57 Sy Fanua, were also critical players in the game as they teamed up on both offense and defense, with Samson scoring the Dons’ second touchdown after a key block by his younger brother Sy. Two more touchdowns by #2 Aidan Stewart ensured the win, with the Dons’ defense holding the Eagles to just a single touchdown. The Dons Flag team played valiantly against the Coastal Tritons, but were outmatched on Saturday. The big highlight of the game was the first completed pass of Jacob Wilsey completes the first pass the year, where #5 quarterback Ryan Tom reception of the season for the Dons Flag threw a strike to #9 wide receiver Jacob team. Wilsey which resulted in a 40 yard gain on the play. Other players to note included #4 Austin Monteiro, #20 Mitchell Smith and #14 Dane Oleksy, first year Flag players who all played well despite the loss.

Informally nicknamed “Little Dons” by the Cathedral High football players, much of the team’s success can be attributed to the support of Varsity Head Coach Sean Doyle and Athletic Director David Smola.

On Sept. 8, the Jr Midget Falcons (D2) of Torrey Pines defeated the Oceanside Pirates 27-8 at El Camino High School.
Torrey Pines Falcons defeat Oceanside Pirates, 27-8 BY BILL BUTLER In a Palomar Conference league game on Sept. 8, the Jr Midget Falcons (D2) of Torrey Pines defeated the Oceanside Pirates 27-8 at El Camino High School. In some ways, this game was closer than the score indicates; however, the margin of victory could have been greater but for a couple of Falcon miscues. The Falcons lost two fumbles as a result of hard tackles by Oceanside defenders. These turnovers presented scoring opportunities for the Pirates, but they were unable to take advantage. The lone Oceanside touchdown came as a result of a long kickoff return following a Falcon field goal. This was the only time in the game that the Pirates threatened the Falcon goal line. Torrey Pines scored first on a field goal by Tucker Pike to take a 3-0 lead. Oceanside countered immediately by returning the ensuing kickoff for a touchdown. A two-point kick followed, and Oceanside led 8-3. The score remained the same until the final 30 seconds of the first half. Jackie Plashkes hit Brandon Ray with an option pass down the right sideline good for 26 yards. With 14.1 seconds remaining, quarterback Conner Whitton followed with the first of his two touchdown passes for the afternoon, hitting Ray in the end zone with a 23-yard strike with 8.3 seconds remaining. Tucker Pike was good with his first of three extra point kicks (each good for two points) to make the halftime score Torrey Pines 11, Oceanside 8. The third quarter ended without further scoring, but with the Falcons at the Pirate 20 yard line. A Zac Friedland run picked up a first down at the 10. Another run placed the ball at the Pirate 6 before Whitton threw a bullet to Kevin Misak, who had cut across the field from his tight end position on the right side to find a hole in the Pirate coverage. Seconds later, the score became 19-8, and the Falcons had a bit of breathing room. Oceanside had to pass if they had any hope of getting back in the game. The Falcon run defense had just been too strong for the Pirates to hope to score enough to win the game by running the ball. On the next series of plays, the Falcons stopped a Pirate run for a first down on 4th and 1 from the 40. After each team failed to move the ball, Zac Friedland intercepted a Pirate pass at the 43-yard line and took it back 57 yards for a Falcon TD. A kick later and the Falcons led 27-8. This would be the final score, as Falcon defenders Nick Clapp and Garth Erdossy each intercepted passes for the Falcons.

San Diego Surf Girls Under 8 win 11th annual Blues Cup The San Diego Surf Girls Under 8 won the 11th annual Blues Cup held in San Juan Capistrano Labor Day weekend Sept. 1-3 in the Girls Under 8 Division. This is the team’s third tournament championship this summer. The Blues Cup is one of the largest soccer tournaments in Southern California for this age group and attracts many of the most competitive girls teams in the United States. USA Women’s Soccer Team forward Amy Rodriguez #8 of Lake Forest, Calif., who has won two gold medals playing in the 2012 London Olympics and 2008 Beijing Olympics, presented the Surf girls with their medals and trophy at the awards ceremony. Under coach Steveo Leacock, the Surf U8 team won four games straight before heading into the final game on Monday Sept. 3. Surf beat West Coast Futbol Club of Laguna Hills, 1-0, in game one, then beat Carlsbad Lightning Red of Carlsbad, 3-1, in game two. On the second day of the tournament, Surf beat Strikers Futbol Club of Huntington Beach, 3-1, and then faced San Diego Crusaders Soccer Club of San Diego in the semi-final to win 2-0. The girls went up against Carlsbad Lightning Red again in the championship on Monday, winning 3-0. During the game, forward Kate Dalton was able to break away and score the first goal for Surf. Forward Paige Buchner finished a corner kick from mid-fielder Soleil Dimry to make the game 2-0. In the second half, with an assist from Dimry, Buchner again scored to cinch the championship win. “The girls have started the season very well. It’s been an excellent summer and for any team to win West Coast and Blues Cup in the same year means it’s a special team, “ Coach Leacock commented. “I can only see this growing and getting a lot stronger. Great job girls!”

Local woman devoted to pandas’ well-being
Q&A
Suzanne Hall part of SD Zoo’s Institute for Conservation Research
After an eclectic career, local resident still flying high Beginning in 1983, Ruth Chandler was an international flight attendant for Continental Airlines, and later chief flight attendant for Al Neuharth, founder and chairman of USA Today. She’s traveled to 23 countries, including Vietnam, Moscow and Egypt. In between her flying careers, she was introduced to the exuberant world of Washington, DC social society when she worked for former White House Social Secretary, the late Gretchen Poston, and on Ronald Reagan’s second Inaugural committee. Chandler earned her bachelor’s degree in communications.

Currently, Chandler is a member of the National Charity League with her daughters, and she also volunteers at The Gillispie School, All Hallows Academy and Stella Maris Academy.
BY KAREN BILLING One of the more popular places at the San Diego Zoo right now is the monitor room in the panda building where several angles of Panda Cam Suzanne Hall are playing live on various TVs. Visitors can see mamma bear Bai Yun cutely cradle her cub son and snuggly baby bear vocalizations can be heard over the audio track. People working anywhere near the room find reasons to pass by. The zoo’s latest addition was born on July 29 under the watchful eye of the panda team, the most successful breeding program in the country. One member of the team is Suzanne Hall, a Torrey Hills resident who is a senior research technician for the San Diego Zoo Institute for Conservation Research (ICR). While Hall’s job sounds pretty high on the dream job scale, she said it has its challenges just like any job: there’s always questions about funding and she spends a fair amount of time in front of a computer screen like most people. “One of the great things about my job, though, is it is the best place in the world to have a lunch break,” Hall said. “I just go sit and watch the bears because it can recharge your batteries.” Before the panda cub got all the attention, there were jaguar cubs to swoon over. “There’s always something going on at the zoo and it’s nice to be a part of it,” Hall said. Hall’s primary role is that of a researcher, specializing in bears. She focuses on maternal care and infant development but does other studies as well, such as one she’s working on about panda hearing. For a bear specialist, San Diego is not a bad place to be: Of the eight living bear species in the world, the San Diego Zoo is home to six of them.
Who or what inspires you? I am surrounded by blessings and inspiration — my sister, Connie, for her incredible selflessness; my brother-in-law, Jerry Englert, for his business acumen; and my other brother-in-law, Eric Figi, for his faith. But no one tops my dad, Hap Chandler, who at 88-years-young, is the epitome of character, integrity, honor and awe-inspiring self discipline. Of course, I also draw inspiration from my two enchanting daughters, Chandler and Madison. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite?

Amanda Christmann Larson and Deb Hoenig
Women leave from SB on cross-country bike ride to fight human trafficking BY CLAIRE HARLIN Since they pushed off from Solana Beach on Sept. 1 to embark on an ocean-toocean bike ride, Amanda Christmann Larson and Deb Hoenig have been better known as “Babes Blocking Traffic.” Sure, the two may find themselves in front of a car or two as they travel 3,093 miles, ending up on Oct. 16 in St. Augustine, Fla., but that’s not what they meant when they gave themselves that name. Larson, of Arizona, and Hoenig, of Alabama, are talking about human trafficking — more specifically, the child sex slave trade in Lake Volta, Africa — and they are raising money to free the more than 40 kids they met there by building a school high in the mountains seven hours away. “We knew we needed to do something to create awareness, and I love cycling, so the bike ride seemed natural,” said Larson. After meeting and talking to each of the child slaves in Ghana on their two-month-long trip, the two women confronted the slave owner, who said it was actually a hassle to keep them all. He said he would gladly let them go if they had somewhere to go to. The duo has just begun fundraising and has raised about $2,000 toward the $10,000 goal to build the home, but the bike ride is also meant to raise awareness, too. “Our message is that it does not matter what color skin someone has, where they go on Sundays or what flag flies over their country,” said Larson. “We all need to join together as human beings and decide that we will no longer tolerate children being sold and exploited for
sex or labor.” The name of the home to built is “Melor Vinyewo,” meaning “I love all children” in Ewe, the local language of Ghana. The home, on 7 acres of land donated by village chiefs, will house 16 kids to begin with, and they will receive medical care, educational and vocational opportunities, as well as art, music and other types of therapy. Larson and Hoenig are still looking for house parents to move to Ghana and care for the children. “Like everything else that has fallen into place with this project, we are sure the right people will come along,” Larson said. Hoenig, who has two daughters in college, quit her job as a nurse to make the cross-country road trip, which worried her, but her boss offered her another position upon her return. Larson is a freelance writer for a magazine in Phoenix and took a leave of absence. She also runs her non-profit, Compassionate Journeys, which is dedicated to the ending of child slavery in Ghana and creating awareness worldwide. She has three kids, and her youngest, 12, has been to Ghana twice and understands why his mom works so hard for the kids there, Larson said. Hoenig and Larson have partnered with a U.S. non-profit, StreetLightUSA, which focuses on trafficking in the U.S. The partnership is an effort to spread awareness that child slavery doesn’t just happen abroad. The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) estimates that there are at least 100,000 children and teens trafficked in the U.S., but Larson said that number is likely even higher. “In the U.S., trafficking
is the most common in the sex industry,” Larson said. “It’s a lucrative business. Unlike trafficking in drugs or weapons, a prostitute can be sold over and over again. Most victims are girls, and they can come from anywhere.” Larson said the common thread is that the women are vulnerable for some reason, maybe the divorce of their parents or maybe they’ve run away from home and feel they need to help “pay the bills,” Larson said. “The notion that prostitution is a victimless crime is simply not true.” She added that the average age of being inducted into prostitution is 13 years old, and it can be through family members, friends, boyfriends — you name it. They are often kept in it through physical violence, and fear leaving their pimps for both physical and emotional reasons. This is often due to the grooming process in which pimps tell the girls they are beautiful and buy them nice things. They become dependent and, according to StreetLightUSA, it often takes an average of three months to realize they have been victimized due to the manipulation. Larson and Hoenig have gotten great feedback so far, even though they say there are a lot of people who think they are crazy — “and we don’t deny that,” Larson said. “We know it’s kind of out there for a couple of 40-year-old moms to be riding bikes across the country,” said Larson. “But we believe in what we are doing and are dedicated to giving kids a voice.” For more information, visit www.babesblockingtraffic.org or www.compassionatejourneys.com.

Local couples bring unique approach to sunglass sales DM Highlands’ Sunglass Cabana offering specials
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY CLAIRE HARLIN Walking along the lower, west-facing sidewalk of the Del Mar Highlands Town Center, shoppers may notice a string of new specialty shops that have opened near the dancing fountain, including a bakery, a tea shop, and an olive oil store. It’s also hard to miss the new sunglass shop there, with it’s huge storefront sign and bright, white displays of hundreds of specs inside. Sunglass Cabana, which is amid its grand opening, may seem like a basic eyewear shop, but it may actually take a stroll through the store to realize it’s a world away from the familiar chain sunglass retailers you see all the time, all over the country. Like many of its Highlands neighbors, Sunglass Cabana is locally owned by people who know their community and go above and beyond to serve it. The store is not only running a buy-one-get-one special
Tania Stevens, Jeffrey and Janice Nesses through the holidays, but it carries luxury brands you can’t get anywhere else in town and unique, highfashion styles that are imported from all over the world. Not to mention, the owners guarantee the lowest price — if you find the same specs elsewhere for less, they’ll match it.
How’s it possible that Sunglass Cabana can offer such a vast selection of rare styles for the lowest prices? First of all, one of the owners, Jeffrey Nesses, successfully runs upward of 30 eyewear shops in New York, so he buys in mass quantities to keep the prices low. It’s also not a risk
for him to pick more interesting frames in addition to those best-selling styles we see all the time — the Aviator, the Wayfarer, etc. — whereas a small operation my find those harder to sell and scrap the idea of making an order. Likewise, big national chains must pick their stock according
to what’s popular in any geographic area, but Nesses stresses that he’s geared his selection specifically toward the needs and styles of locals. “After the renovation of the Highlands, this is exactly where we wanted to be and exactly who we want to serve,” Nesses said. “We live here and we know the styles. The chain stores can’t be as sensitive to their demographic areas.” Nesses and his wife, Janice, have lived in Rancho Santa Fe for 11 years, but have been going back and forth between here and New York to operate their eyewear shops there (which focus more on prescription eyewear than sunglasses). An experienced businessman, Jeffrey has bought and sold several businesses in town, including Del Mar Pizza, but being an optician by trade, he’s happy to finally settle down in sunny San Diego and do what he knows best. The Nesseses started Sunglass Cabana with some friends who were also in the eyewear business in New York. Igor Slony and
Tania Stevens moved to Del Mar in January to collaborate with the Nesseses. Tania is also a licensed optometrist of more than 15 years. The other three coowners each bring expertise to the table as well — Igor is an operations manager, Jeffrey is a highly experienced buyer and Janice is a professionally trained interior designer. The bright, trendy look and Cabana-like feel of the store stands out, and it’s all the work of Janice herself. She uniquely patterned the ceiling with outdoor umbrella fabric to look like a cabana, and a number of other retailers have already been seeking her design expertise. In the few short weeks Sunglass Cabana has had its doors open, it’s been “tremendously well-received,” Jeffrey said, adding that a couple of malls have already asked him to open up shop on their premises. “The Highlands really needed a sunglass store.” For more information, visit www.thesunglasscabana.com.

It’s sophisticated dining at Grant Grill in the Gaslamp BY KELLEY CARLSON n the 1950s and ’60s, the Grant Grill was dominated by San Diego’s high-profile businessmen — bankers, lawyers, judges, newspaper editors — who were guaranteed male-only power lunches until 3 p.m. daily. But in 1969, three female lawyers staged a “sit-in” and were successfully seated, paving the way for everyone to be able to experience the elegant ambience and awardwinning cuisine of this historic restaurant. Located on the first floor of the 101-yearold US Grant Hotel, today’s version of the Grant Grill provides several seating areas that can accommodate couples on dates, private parties, out-of-town visitors, families, and of course, entrepreneurs gathering for power lunches. There is the upper lounge, where guests can relax in cushioned chairs and couches and kick back with an intriguing read or engage in an intimate conversation. The lounge/bar, lit by chandeliers, is the main spot for entertainment, as rotating three-piece bands play jazz, blues, rock and pop starting at 8 p.m. Thursdays through

Patrons can also catch the latest news on the TV while sipping on their favorite cocktails from vintage glassware, or partake in Customs Nightly — with halfpriced drinks and desserts such as Peaches & Cream, S’mores, Strawberry Shortcake — from 10 p.m. to midnight daily. The main dining room has a classic setting with its cream-colored tablecloths and plush booths and chairs. Special occasions may be commemorated in the private dining room, which features a
skylight, fireplace, original woodwork and the restaurant’s wine collection. Outside is a small, shaded patio where customers can settle in a seat and observe the hustle and bustle along downtown San Diego’s Fourth Avenue. Dogs are welcomed with beds and water bowls. Grant Grill utilizes outdoor space in other ways, as well. In its rooftop garden, which overlooks Horton Plaza, vegetables and herbs are grown that are incorporated into the restaurant’s seasonal California fare. Whatever produce isn’t gathered there is obtained from area farms and markets. Main menu items may change once or twice a month, while tasting selections may switch every one to two weeks, according to Chris Kurth, chef de cuisine. This month’s tasting menu includes Chicken Liver Ravioli with corn, pickled vegetables, garbanzo beans and leek flowers; and Albacore with dashi, cipollini onions, young peanuts and maitake mushrooms. But there are some entrees that are available year-round, including Grant Grill’s signature dish, Mock Turtle Soup, which has
been served since the restaurant’s inception. Although the recipe originally used real turtle, it now consists of slow-braised rib, carrots, onion, tomato paste and about 20 additional ingredients, with no turtles harmed. It is brought to a table in a small copper pot and then poured into a bowl in front of the guest. The server proceeds to add sherry on top of it to “give it a distinctive flavor,” Kurth explained. A lunchtime favorite is the Grant Grill Grilled Cheese — melted aged fontina, La Quercia speck ham and balsamic tomatoes in between slices of toasted Rosemary bread. Grant Grill also offers brunch and breakfast, with dishes such as waffles topped with cherry apricot compote, vanilla cream, allspice oat streusel and strawberries; and a Farmer’s Frittata with rooftop garden greens, gruyere, beech mushrooms and citrus tomato sauce. The foldout children’s menu — which states fun facts about U.S. presidents and is coloring-friendly — has foods like Mickey Mouse-shaped pancakes and Shamu-shaped waffles, along with mac ‘n’ cheese, spaghetti, fruit kabobs, burgers and fish ‘n’ chips.

How do you get 150 teenage boys in Carmel Valley to build beehive boxes on a Sunday afternoon for a charity organization in Mexico? Teen Volunteers in Action (San Diego Chapter 2) hosted its annual Kick Off Event on Sept. 9 at Sage Canyon Elementary and did just that! About 25 boxes were assembled in just under two hours for Via International/Los Niños. In 1999, this nonprofit service organization assisted a small group of women in Mexicali, Mexico who were determined to improve their lives and the lives of their families by becoming more self-reliant and starting a beehive cooperative to produce honey. In addition to honey, the women produce beeswax candles, healing salves and ointments, facial and hand creams. However, the demand for their products began to outpace the supply and they needed a means to secure additional hives in order to expand their business. Therefore, Via International/Los Niños began the Beehive Assembly Project. Each completed beehive
has an average life-expectancy of 10 years and can help the women to generate an additional $150 to $200 annually for their families. TVIA was able to lend a hand to this organization and throughout the coming year 30 non-profit groups will benefit from the boys’ voluntary service. Established in 2000, the mission of TVIA is to introduce boys to community service and leadership on a local level; moreover, the parent-run advisement board provides wonderful opportunities for continued work and interaction with their teenage sons. Teen Volunteers in Action reaches out to young men of all races, religions, and national origins, in grades 7–12, who demonstrate an interest in, and a commitment to, volunteerism. Its purpose is exclusively educational and charitable. To get more information and find out how your son can be a part of this unique San Diego founded group please contact TVIA at president@TVIA.org or visit TVIA. org for more information.

Competitive world of real estate plays out in ‘Glengarry Glen Ross’ BY DIANA SAENGER David Mamet’s “Glengarry Glen Ross,” winner of the 1984 Pulitzer Prize and New York Drama Critics Circle Award, opens at the La Jolla Playhouse under the direction of its artistic director Christopher Ashley on Sept. 18. In 2005, it garnered a Tony Award for “Best Revival of a Play.” The story centers on a group of real estate salesmen that employ every trick in the book to survive. Some of those tactics affect them and their goals of attaining The American Dream. The title comes from the names of two of the real estate developments being peddled by the salesmen characters, Glengarry Highlands and Glen Ross Farms. Peter Maloney, who plays Shelly “The Machine” Levene, said the play is as relevant today as it was in 1984. “It’s timeless, and I think one of the best plays ever written,” Maloney

Some of his Broadway performances include such heavyweights as “West

Side Story,” “Judgment at Nuremburg,” “Dinner at Eight,” “Carousel,” and “Six Degrees of Separation.” He’s appeared in 50 films and on TV. So why take on the role of Shelly Levene right now? “I love Mamet,” Maloney said. “There are pages and pages of dialogue, so it’s tough, but Shelly is one of the greatest characters I’ve had the chance to play during my 50 years in this business. When Howard Rosenstone, David’s agent, died, David asked me to read the opening scene with Shelly at Howard’s memorial service. That confirmed what I already knew; Mamet was an excellent writer. I was stunned by the excellence of the play and saw it five times in New York.” Maloney knows Mamet is fascinated by the con. “This story is about power,” he said. “It’s about who’s on top. These men are like lions with the young ones nipping at the heels of their peers.” “Glengarry Glen Ross,”
Peter Maloney (Shelly Levene) and Johnny Wu (John Williamson) rehearse their roles in ‘Glengarry Glen Ross,’ by David Mamet at La Jolla Playhouse. PHOTO/REBECCA JOELSON is well known for its excessive profanity and since this is the original script, theater patrons should be aware that the dialogue is full of vulgarity. “To me this play has the best writing in Ameri-
This is Chicago, and these are macho men working in a fraudulent business selling property to people who don’t need it or can’t afford it. It’s stories like this that kept viewers watching “The Sopranos” for seven years.”

It’s also the final month (in a year-long celebration) that the aquarium has offered half-off admission on the 20th to residents living in ZIP codes 91901-92199 (with valid ID), limit two children per paid adult. “We strive to be an asset to the community,” said Nigella Hillgarth, executive director at the aquarium for more than a decade. Hillgarth said attendance this year of
Brief aquarium history
September events
• In 1915, the first building devoted solely to an aquarium was built on the Scripps Institute of Oceanography campus in La Jolla. • The Scripps Aquarium-Museum opened in 1951. It was a three-story facility with a ring of 18 tanks. • In 1985, the Stephen and Mary Birch Foundation started a fundraising effort for a new aquarium by donating $6 million. In September 1992, the current $14 million Birch Aquarium at Scripps opened its doors.
• Sea Days, Snapshots of Scripps Science: 11 a.m. to 3 p.m., Saturday, Sept. 15, free with admission. • California Coastal Cleanup Day: Bring your own bucket for a trash-decorating contest, 9 a.m. to noon, Saturday, Sept. 15 La Jolla Shores.

A child touches a sea star at Birch Aquarium’s outdoor, living tide pools. 436,000 visitors has been the highest number recorded since the grand opening year, 1992. The public aquarium and interactive museum showcase discoveries by researchers at the world-renowned Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. She said one of the institution’s most exciting plan for the years ahead is a rare pilot program to try

and breed seadragons, funded by a grant from the Lowe Family Foundation. “We are setting up a special area for breeding them,” she explained. “The seadragons are from Australia and very little is understood about them.” Another exhibit in the works is a showcase called “Deep Ocean,” which was spearheaded by public interest, Hillgarth said. It will include deep-ocean re-
search facts by scientists at the university, and is expected to take at least three years to complete. Birch Aquarium has received numerous awards for its efforts to conserve the threatened seahorse and Hillgarth said the aquarium has become famous for its seahorse research. The current exhibit, “There’s Something About Seahorses,” presents seahorse families and in-
cludes a “baby” nursery. When asked what impact she hopes the aquarium has on the children who visit, Hillgarth answered, “I hope they are totally hooked on the wonders of the ocean. I become inspired when kids actually go into the ocean and explore. If I can get a kid excited to go snorkeling in La Jolla caves, I’ve done my job.”

PANDAS continued from page B1 “He’s quite a special guy, he’s the only natural breeding male in the U.S.” The only other zoos in the country with pandas (The National Zoo, Zoo Atlanta and the Memphis Zoo) have only been successful in breeding through artificial insemination. Some captive pandas have been able to breed naturally but the babies did not survive. Hall was with the zoo to see the first panda born in the United States in 1999 with the birth via artificial insemination of Hua Mei. Bai Yun has given birth to six pandas now: Mei Sheng, Su Lin, Zhen Zhen, Yun Zi and the newest cub. Due to the zoo’s research loan with China, pandas born in the U.S. are sent back to China when they turn 3 years old. “Some would like to see them stay, the public gets really attached to the cubs, but they aren’t contributing to the next generation of giant pandas if they just stay here with mom and dad,” said Hall. Since Hua Mei has gone back to China, she has given birth to nine pandas. Su Lin also had her first cub last year in a semi-wild enclosure, proof that they are doing exactly what it is they are sent back to China for. Currently visitors can check out Gao Gao and the tree-climbing Yun Zi in the Panda Trek exhibit at the zoo but Bai Yun and the cub will stay in their den until December as they are not quite ready for their close-up just yet. Panda cubs are born altricial, meaning they are basically helpless. Pandas are only in utero for 50 days, so they still have not developed when they are born as little, pink “blobs.” The iconic black and white color doesn’t appear for two weeks. Even now, the cub’s eyes are not yet open and his ears are still sealed—he relies heavily on mom. “The cubs can’t thermoregulate on their own, they need mom to hold them,” Hall said. “Pandas spend more time holding their babies than any other species.” What panda researchers have learned is that the mother and cub need solitude, quiet and no distractions after the birth of a cub. Being a panda mom and never putting the baby down is very demanding work, Hall said, and it’s important to have an environment that is low on stress and outside noises. Both pandas are available to view on the Panda Cam on the zoo’s website. Per Chinese tradition, the baby will not be named for 100 days, but as the 100-day mark falls on Election Day, Nov. 6, they are waiting until 107 days to make the name official. The public will be invited to vote on the cub’s name. Visit the Panda Cam at sandiegozoo.org/pandacam.

Q&A continued from page B1 ters! What are you reading? I’m a voracious, but eclectic, reader across the genre spectrum. I love anything by Vince Flynn, Nelson Demille, and Brad Thor, but I also love re-reading the classics required in my daughters’ English classes. What is your mostprized possession? My sister Alison has always said I have an Erma Bombeckian sense of humor, taking the banal and twisting it into the absurdly funny. Without that sense of humor, life would be too grim. What is your mostmarked characteristic? I had to call my dad on this one! After thinking a few moments, he said my vivaciousness and sense of curiosity. Since he knows me best, I’ll stick with those. My daughters said it was my strength they most admire. What would be your dream vacation? After my youngest
daughter graduated from eighth-grade, my dad piloted my second mom, Nancy Ann, my sisters and I along with my daughters, back to Washington, D.C. on his Cessna Citation to visit our extended family. It was the first time my children saw my old stomping grounds and caught lightning bugs. We visited old haunts of my dad’s and toured his childhood home on the grounds of the Naval Academy in Annapolis. The Library of Congress scheduled a special tour and private showing of Wright Brothers’ memorabilia to honor my dad. So, in a way, I’ve already been on that dream vacation since it included every person I love most! What is your motto or philosophy of life? “To thine own self be true,” and my philosophy mirrors that of the great Auntie Mame who pronounced, “Live! That’s the message! Life is a banquet and most [people] out there are starving to death!”

‘Carol Ann on Fire’ The Del Mar Art Center held a reception Sept. 8 for the “CarolAnn on Fire” Exhibit. Not since Yves Klein (19281962) has an artist so boldly harnessed fire as a medium to construct a human portrait. The sevenfoot tall anthropometry “CarolAnn on Fire,” by San Diego artist Robert Glick, is an abstract expose of the female spirit. Glick’s work has been shown at prestigious locations such as the Oceanside Museum of Art and Amsterdam Whitney Gallery in New York City. For more photos, visit www.delmartimes.net.

Breakfast‘s an epiphany, so discover marvelous morning meals The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN “Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a lord, and dinner like a pauper.” — Ancient proverb Food gurus, school administrators, teachers, athletes and smart moms realize that breakfast, hands down, is the most important meal of the day for fueling the body and shifting the brain into high gear. September is National Breakfast Month, just in time for the back-toschool crowd. Sew your Wild Oats According to health food honcho Dr. Andrew
Weil, it’s important to start the day with some carbohydrate to jump-start the brain. Every breakfast should include a slow burning or complex carb for a dose of well-paced nourishing fuel to fortify a body until lunch. A slice of whole grain toast or bagel dressed with organic cream cheese or almond, sunflower or walnut butter — healthy proteins loaded with fiber, Vitamin E, calcium and omega-3 fatty acids — is a good start. Hearty, steel-cut oatmeal topped with potassiumpacked banana slices, or ironrich raisins and a splash of almond milk, makes a scrumptious energy-boosting option, rich in soluble fiber to put the skids on cholesterol. Serve seasonal fresh fruits, another form of complex carbs, instead of highsugar fruit drinks that wallop the pancreas. Kiwi is a super fruit that dials-up more Vitamin C than oranges and more potassium than bananas. Blueberries, an immune boosting purple gem, has a motherlode of antioxidants and Vitamins A, B, C and E, while watermelon is bursting with electrolytes and potassium that are lost
through sweating during morning activities. Be a Culture Vulture Certain dairy, like cottage cheese and yoghurt, are loaded with protein and calcium to boost strength and density for young and aging bones. Just a cup of organic yoghurt gives a whopping one-third of the daily-recommended calcium and 17 percent of the protein. Multi-tasking yoghurt is also a natural probiotic to promote intestinal health and pump up the immune system. Breakfast Bites • Cereal is the top breakfast food in the USA: Cheerios — the people’s first choice. • 1.5 billion cups of tea are sipped everyday around the world, while 1.6 billion cups of joe are chugged down. Coffee is the most popular beverage in the USA — 65 percent consume coffee during breakfast. • French toast originated in the Middle Ages when cooks used leftover scraps of bread, milk and eggs to fortify their poor families during rough times.

Rise and Shine from Coast-to-Coast American breakfasts across the land serve a diverse smorgasbord of hot and cold dishes running the gamut from fatty southern comfort foods, including fried green tomatoes with country ham, red eye gravy with grits and biscuits, to lean California cuisine of white egg omelets accompanied by fresh local fruits and veggies. Some good allAmerican choices include PB&J stuffed French toast, bacon and egg scramble with home fries, and deli-inspired New York fare of bagels, cream cheese and lox. How Locals Dish It Up The new Cusp restaurant in the legendary Hotel La Jolla serves sweeping views of the Pacific along with Chef Donald Lockhart’s breakfast faves — “Blueberry Ricotta Pancakes” with house-made ricotta and caramelized bananas; a savory “Open Faced Pastrami Egg Melt”; and the
lighter option of “Uncle Frank’s Quinoa,” an eggwhite scramble blending mushrooms, spinach, ovendried tomatoes and the gluten-free Incan grain. Dinner for breakfast? Check out Brian Malarkey’s “Breakfast Pizza” at La Jolla’s Herringbone. The pie is topped with breakfast regulars of bacon, eggs, Swiss cheese and hollandaise sauce. Little Italy’s Davanti Enoteca does savory and sweet delights, such as “Calzone del Mezzadro” incorporating scrambled eggs, potato hash, sausage and provolone between folded pizza dough, while “Calzone di Frutta” has an apple and cherry compote stuffing with mascarpone cream topping. True Food Kitchen goes light for “Quinoa Johnny Cakes,” with fresh blueberries and Greek yoghurt. And La Jolla’s Brockton Villa serves “The Puerto Huevos Steamer,” combining soy chorizo, steamed egg whites, black beans, brown rice, avocado and house made salsa.

Sampson California Realty welcomes real estate agent Stacy Boodman Joseph and Diane Sampson recently welcomed Stacy Boodman to the Sampson California Realty (SCR) agent family. “Stacy has been our marketing director for the past year and a half and we are thrilled to have her join our agent team as well! With her tenancy, knowledge of the area and love for real estate, she will be an immediate success,” said Joseph Sampson, co-owner and broker at Sampson California Realty. Boodman and her family were original owners in The Sands in Torrey Hills in 1998 and her children attend Ocean Air Elementary School. Boodman has seen Torrey Hills grow from a small community on the outskirts of Carmel Valley to one of the most sought-after areas in North County. “Joseph sold Stacy’s house in 2006 and they have kept in touch ever since,” said Diane Sampson. “We knew once her kids were old enough, she would join our real estate team.” Boodman and her husband Dave attended UC San Diego in the early 1990s. After graduating, Boodman
worked in marketing and research for the technology industry until having her older daughter Emily in 2004. “Although I worked in technology, every day I studied the real estate market. I knew one day I would transition to real estate full time,” Boodman said. “I hoped that I would find mentors like the Sampsons. I feel so lucky to be on Joseph and Diane’s team; it’s like a dream come true.” Sampson California Reality specializes in residential real estate sales in Carmel Valley and the coastal communities. Sampson California Realty has been actively listing and selling residential real estate for over 15 years in Carmel Valley. When you are thinking about buying or selling property, please call Stacy Boodman at 858-229-0544 or visit YourTorreyHillsRealtor.com. You can also email Boodman at Stacy@ YourTorreyHillsRealtor.com.
