All sides of Prop J: Campaigns have long history with Del Mar revitalization efforts
■ Local resident achieves ‘Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming.’ Page 8
BY CLAIRE HARLIN If Del Mar residents somehow failed to catch wind of the city’s proposed revitalization plan — a 250page development blueprint called the Village Specific Plan (VSP) that’s been in the works for years — they’ll likely hear about it now. Only two days after the council gave final approval of the VSP, sending it to the Nov. 6 ballot as Proposition J, organized campaigns emerged on both sides of the debate. But this division
of the community, which opponent Hershell Price fears could be “hard to put back together,” didn’t completely start with the VSP that is currently on the table. The proponents In 2009, the city made a revitalization attempt with the formation of the Ad Hoc Form Based Code Committee, which sought to rezone property by property, creating a master plan that would take into account factors such as view protection,
noise and traffic — a change from traditional zoning that just focuses on building elements like height, floor-area ratio and setback. The committee’s four members spent well over a year collecting data on every property in Del Mar before the city decided to change direction and start drafting a VSP. But those committee members — Howard Gad, Nancy Sanquist, Kelly Kaplan and Al Corti — kept working on revitalization as vocal residents whose un-

yielding dedication showed through their participation in workshops and feedback at council meetings. Now, they’ve created the FOR Del Mar’s Future campaign, which consists of about seven paid staff members and seven volunteers and is steered by the consulting services of Tom Shepard & Associates. Shepard, a Del Mar resident, was also successful in his direction on two other major local projects: Garden Del Mar and the Del Mar Plaza.
Kaplan said her work on the Form Based Code Committee not only led to her fully-informed support of the VSP, but also made her realize that Del Mar is in critical need to develop — and develop as soon as possible. In a Sept. 12 kick-off event for the campaign, proponents said one of the main focuses will be to combat misinformation about the VSP and present the See PROP J, Page 6
Solana Beach to review allowing private events at community center BY CLAIRE HARLIN The Solana Beach City Council on Sept. 12 approved seeking environmental review to assess the neighborhood impacts of allowing the public to rent the newly renovated Fletcher Cove Community Center for private events and parties. The issue has provoked contention with those living in the neighborhood surrounding the center, who are a minority in comparison to the many residents who want to take advantage of the center, which has a new look and landscape, with picnic tables, benches, upgraded restrooms and
sweeping views. The decision to conduct the review — which will cost upward of $25,000 and examine factors such as noise and traffic — was not a unanimous one. Councilman Mike Nichols dissented, stating that “public funds should not be used for private parties.” “This has snowballed and gotten out of control,” Nichols said, adding that the environmental review may end up costing more than $25,000 because it may reveal more things the city needs to spend money on. “The vision was to have a See COMMUNITY, Page 6

new permit requirements from the San Diego Parks and Recreation Department. Courts are open more to the public and court rates have now been lowered, from $15 an hour to $5 an hour. According to Clay Bingham, deputy director of the San Diego Parks and Recreation Department, the city decided to update and improve its permitting process
late last year, changing the required tennis permit to a special use permit. New requirements of the permit are that a club be a non-profit as defined by the IRS, some very specific insurance requirements, and a maximum fee of $5 per court an hour. The clubs also must allow access to the public 20 percent of the time and that

20 percent of the time has to satisfy the Parks and Recreation department. “It can’t be Sunday morning from 4 a.m. to 6 a.m., it has to be a reasonable time,” Bingham said. Bingham said that while there was a goal date for the new changes to go in effect for July 1, they didn’t get signatures from all the permit holders until August.
“To prove non-profit status and get all the financial statements, there’s some allowance for it, it takes some time,” Bingham said. “Most of the clubs were already non-profit, but Carmel Valley had always been a different operation.” Bingham said Carmel Valley and operator Becky Kuba had the biggest adjustSee ADDITIONS, Page 6

UCSD’s new chancellor takes reins, envisions more diverse campus

community recently took him to a Ralphs supermarket, where two students stopped to introduce themselves. “I’m thinking, do I have anything weird in my shopping cart here?” said the affable administrator, noting that his purchases included mainly cheese, wine and crackers. “My favorite (wine) is pinot noir,” he chimed. “It’s middle- of-the-line, and
goes with just about every type of food.” Khosla will likely relish the occasional glass of wine to unwind from the pressure of managing the university’s ongoing budgetary and administrative demands, while implementing his own vision and strategy. “I have an excellent team,” Khosla said of his vice-chancellors. “We have divvied up the responsibili-
ties of running this place. They are my eyes and ears on the ground, and they are responsible for executing a lot of these things.” At Carnegie Mellon, Khosla was known for his emphasis on diversity, a focus he said he hopes to maintain at UC San Diego. “Our goal should be to talk with the broader community and make sure that students from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds understand and realize that going to a university is not necessarily a rich person’s dream,” he said. “Everybody should have that dream and the UC system has a lot of opportunities for people to attend one of the UC campuses without paying any tuition. “When there are people from underserved communities who are deemed qualified but don’t have the resources, we need to find a way to support them,” he said. While there are many opportunities for students from low-income families to receive scholarships and financial assistance through the UC system, state and federal government, Khosla said middle-class students

insensitive “Compton Cookout” party in 2010, or a noose that was subsequently left in the library? Khosla said such situations must be dealt with on a case-by-case basis. The India native said he believes his status as an immigrant will help him build a climate in which such situations are less likely to occur. “Our response should be more like putting a culture and a climate in place that does not let these situations happen,” he said. “Just being diverse does not mean people are accepting and inclusive.” Former Chancellor Fox leaves the campus noted for her billion-dollar building campaign and fundraising prowess. Asked what Khosla hopes his legacy will be as chancellor, he said he hopes the university will be in a stronger position than it is today. “That’s a tall order,” he said. “This is one of the top 10 universities in the country, but I think there is a lot of opportunity.” With a decrease in funding from the state of California — which currently only provides about 6.6 See CHANCELLOR, page 16

BY PAT SHERMAN After more than a month on the job, UC San Diego’s new chancellor, Pradeep Khosla, is still learning his way around the campus and community, chatting up students and faculty at every turn. As dean of Carnegie Mellon University’s College of Engineering, Khosla was in charge of about 3,200 students. At UC San Diego, he will oversee 30,000 students, a tenfold transition in scale. “I had more access to these students (at Carnegie Mellon) than I will have with 30,000 students,” confided Khosla, 55, who replaces outgoing chancellor Marye Anne Fox, who held the position for eight years. “I want to make sure that as chancellor I’m not this ‘Wizard of Oz’ sitting in some office that they don’t know,” he said. “I want them to connect with me as a professor, teacher and a person — and as a chancellor. … You do that by walking around, meeting students randomly and in an organized manner, and just being part of the community.” Khosla’s forays into the

Local resident’s controversial documentary attracting viewers BY JOE TASH A controversial, harshly critical documentary about Barack Obama — which asserts the President holds “Third Word, anti-American views” — has close ties to this area. As of mid-September, Dinesh “2016: Obama’s America” D’Souza was playing on more than 2,000 screens in theaters across the country, including many in San Diego County. It had raked in $26.2 million, the second-highest total ever for a political documentary, behind only “Fahrenheit 9/11” by Michael Moore, according to the film industry website Deadline.com. Dinesh D’Souza, a well-known conservative writer and commentator who lives in Fairbanks Ranch with his wife and daughter, co-directed and co-wrote the documentary, which is based on his 2010 book, “The Roots of Obama’s Rage.” In an interview, D’Souza said 25 people contributed $100,000 apiece to raise the $2.5 million he needed to make the film and some of the investors are from this area. “These are [people] from my Rolodex… they like my work and find my arguments interesting,” D’Souza said. “And they’re concerned about the impact of Obama on America’s future.” The film uses excerpts from Obama’s own book, “Dreams From My Father,” to advance D’Souza’s theory that the President holds anti-colonial views derived from his father, a Kenyan economist, which drive him to seek to diminish America’s wealth and standing in the world. “Obama would like to see a smaller, poorer America with a shrunken footprint in the world. He’s doing it in the name of global fairness,” said D’Souza. D’Souza’s film has received wide-ranging reviews. Dave Berg of the Washington Times wrote: “Republicans often bemoan the fact that they don’t have Hollywood celebrities on their side, but they’ve been handed a gift. Mr. D’Souza is a legitimate rising star who doesn’t look the part. He’s perfect for anti-Hollywood conservatives. He’s able to explain clearly, in a way that hits home, why this election is really about two different worldviews.” But the film has also drawn condemnation from Obama’s campaign and media critics, who question its factuality and fairness. “The facts show that ‘2016: Obama’s America’ is nothing more than an insidious attempt to dishonestly smear the President by giving intellectual cover to the worst in subterranean conspiracy theories and false, partisan attacks,” said a response posted on the Obama campaign’s website. The Los Angeles Times called the film “a badly disguised and overly long attack ad,” while Variety called it “a cavalcade of conspiracy theories, psycho-political conjectures and incendiary labeling.” The film followed on the heels of a 2010 cover story in Forbes Magazine, which aired similar themes and arguments. Of that piece, a writer in the Columbia Journalism Review wrote, “This is the worst kind of
smear journalism—a singularly disgusting work.” D’Souza dismissed the critiques and insisted that his goal was to take advantage of interest in the upcoming presidential election to inform the public. The film’s tagline is, “Love Him, Hate Him, You Don’t Know Him.” “I don’t think there’s a single fact in the film… that has been questioned in a way that has any validity,” said D’Souza. The piece in CJR regarding his Forbes article was “a shabby piece of analysis,” he said. The film includes interviews with a friend of Obama’s father, his half brother, a psychologist and others. D’Souza narrates the film, which was shot at locations including Kenya, Indonesia (where Obama lived as a child) and Hawaii, where the President was born and attended school. Audio clips of Obama reading from his book are also used, as is a dramatized scene of Obama at his father’s grave in Kenya. In the film, D’Souza notes a number of similarities between Obama and himself — for example, both were born in 1961 and both educated at Ivy League schools. But D’Souza theorizes that Obama is filled with rage transmitted by his father, whom he had almost no contact with, over the British colonization of Kenya. D’Souza said he harbors no similar rage against the British for their subjugation of his native India — D’Souza was born in Mumbai, and emigrated to the United States at age 17, where he attended his last year of high school and then went to Dartmouth College. “(Colonization) was bad for people who lived under it but has proven to be good to their descendents,” D’Souza said, contending he is “unquestionably” better off for the British presence in India because he speaks English, went to a Westernized school, and was exposed to the rule of law and Christianity. “Colonization was the transmission belt for Western values.” After college, D’Souza worked for the Reagan Administration as a policy analyst, and has since written 12 books, including a biography of Ronald Reagan. He has also spoken widely on his conservative views, and in 2010 was named president of The King’s College, a Christian institution in New York City. He now splits his time between New York and Fairbanks Ranch, where he is involved with his daughter’s education at The Bishop’s School and attends Horizon North County church. Thrilled by the success of “2016: Obama’s America,” his first film, D’Souza said he is thinking about making a film about the search for God and the influence of Christianity in the world. “I see the power of film as a genre, it appeals both on an intellectual and emotional level,” he said.

PROP J continued from page 1 facts. FOR Del Mar’s Future campaigners will be mailing brochures, going door-todoor talking to residents and putting signs in windows. “People have to be informed to support something,” said Kaplan. “It’s easier to say ‘no’ than to say ‘yes,’ and we are the ones with the uphill battle.” The opponents Meanwhile, the Save Olde Del Mar Committee has come forth, and it’s headed in part by Dave Druker, who was on the City Council for eight years and left his seat as mayor in 2008, just before the formbased code approach was set in motion. “As I was leaving the council, I warned the council about the over-development of Del Mar,” said Druker, who at that time only wanted to create a specific plan for the City Hall site, not the entire commercial zone. The Save Olde Del Mar Committee has nine members on it, and that includes five former mayors. They plan to put up yard
signs and talk to neighbors, but are trying to raise money that will allow more mobilization. “This is grassroots, not professionally run,” said Price. “It takes funding, and you can’t get your message out without funding.” Price’s opposition dates back to the earliest talks about raising the height limit from 14 to 26 feet on the west side of Camino Del Mar. His position that increasing height goes against the vision of the 1976 Community Plan was his initial reason to get involved on the Planning Commission, which he served on for eight years. He’s now steering the Save Olde Del Mar campaign alongside Druker, and said they will be working as hard as possible to send the message that the VSP is flawed in that it decreases traffic lanes while increasing development, among many other points. Druker said the opponents have consistently been ostracized, and while there were many city workshops that included the public, the process was not open-ended enough. “The public was given

options, but there was never an option to just develop the City Hall site, and there was never a low-development option,” said Druker. “We believe we were shut out of this process all the way through.” ‘Stuck in between’ There’s a prominent part of Del Mar that would be highly, if not most, effected by the proposed measure, but it’s somewhat on the sidelines. That’s the business community. Every downtown Del Mar business would be effected by construction if Prop J passes, with some seeing it as worth the pain and others not. Likewise, it’s the businesses who will reap the benefits of the VSP if it proves successful.
COMMUNITY continued from page 1 meeting place, and it’s extremely well used today. You go there and there’s always something going on … I hope the citizens see that we have accomplished exactly what we intended to do and that is to not make it a third party rental.” In the 1990s, prior to the building becoming outdated and unusable, the community center was rented out on the weekends for private uses such as weddings, and residents want to revisit those days. Mayor Joe Kellejian said his daughter just became pregnant and he would love to see his grandchild christened there. “There’s a lot of things we can do that can happen there,” said Kellejian. “We’re here to discuss moving it forward and being able to have events for the entire community.” Currently the center currently allows community meetings and programs such

But the many business owners who aren’t Del Mar residents don’t get a voting say in the matter, and even those who are may see it as detrimental to get involved. Americana Restaurant owner Randy Gruber is a longtime resident of Del Mar (and a voter), but he said doesn’t want to take sides because he fears he will upset his loyal customers, many of whom are local. “Del Mar has it’s own way about politics and I try to stay out of that,” he said. “I definitely think it’s going to heat up a bit, although I haven’t seen much yet.” When it comes to the issue itself — Prop J — he said he and other business owners he has met with feel like they are “stuck in beas Summer Day Camp, the Sing-A-Long and the Del Sol Lions Club, among others. The city has received many inquiries from residents who want to use the facility, so officials asked for community input about developing rules and conditions at an April council meeting. In August, Councilwoman Lesa Heebner requested the issue be brought back to the council for an update. At a June 19 community meeting, residents identified concerns such as noise, parking, hours and the possibility of having a trial period. Nearby resident Richard Jacobs, who’s lived in Solana Beach for 30 years, referred to the time when the center was previously rented out as “the nightmare of the ‘90s.” “I was there and I witnessed it,” he said “The proponents who want these parties are good, responsible people, however, with traffic and alcohol for six hours at a time, there’s a lot of risk. One day there may be a rowdy group who will blow the lid off this place.”

tween.” While he has concerns about construction and the traffic element of the VSP, such as the single lanes and roundabouts, he does want to see revitalization in Del Mar. “I don’t know what the consensus is going to be,” he said. “Some people think this is the best thing since apple pie, and some people think this is terrible.”
TENNIS continued from page 1 ment to make with the new changes. It took more time for Carmel Valley to accomplish all the requirements, but Bingham said Kuba has satisfied them all. Shelley Susman, a Carmel Valley resident who is determined to make tennis available for all, said she was disappointed in the city for not going through a request for proposal (RFP) and allowing an open bid process for the operation of the facility. Susman runs a nonprofit called Tennis 4 Anyone and has a vision for free, community-based tennis instruction available for all. With her organization, she advocates her “no tennis tax” theory to free up public courts at low or no cost and provide free programming and equipment. “Requiring a public use time of 20 percent is minimal, it isn’t extremely wonderful but at least it’s better than it was,” Susman said. Bingham said that 20 percent is considered the base and typically operators provide more time than that. Susman said that awarding the CV Tennis facility to Kuba never went through a city process or out to bid. “Carmel Valley Tennis began on courts that were free and open to the public and was not city-approved, but [when Kuba took over she] ran a for-profit operation,” Susman said. “No competitive bid for the community has ever been created since then.” Bingham confirmed that their original permit was different than any of the other city facilities. “They did get a permit to do things in a certain manner, but it isn’t the way we would do it today,” he said. Susman is fighting for a RFP process to be put in place rather than simply issuing to the current operator. “This way things are transparent and properly addressed through an independent panel of all those interested and not just one,” Susman said. Bingham said when they first talked to the tennis club operators about the permit change and requirements, they weren’t sure that Kuba would be able to
or even want to make the changes. Without Kuba, they looked into the possibility of putting out an RFP to find someone to replace her. “Going forward we found out that not only was she willing but she was able to meet all the new requirements,” Bingham said. “Secondly, she is very highly regarded by the Carmel Valley Recreation Council who had worked with her for years and wanted to continue working with her.” In light of Kuba’s willingness to stay on, the RFP process was halted, Bingham said. Additionally, he said, the city department that handles RFPs was swamped and would not have the time for the process. “It was not felt that the RFP was the way to go this time,” Bingham said. Susman is still hoping to get that RFP process done, although it would likely take an action by the mayor. “I’m ready for a fight, I’m fighting for what’s right for the community and for me because I’d like to be in on that proposal,” said Susman. “I’m not accepting that.” Bingham has spoken to Susman several times and Susman said he has been very cooperative and forthcoming. Bingham said he hopes to continue working positively with Susman in the future. The decision to allow operators to run city facilities in the first place was made years ago to help with the city’s fiscal restraints. The city couldn’t afford to maintain their courts at the level that the community desired, Bingham said, so they opened the opportunity up to non-profits and other organizations to come in and operate and maintain every facility with more than three courts. “For years these nonprofits have done a great job maintaining these city facilities and any improvements made are property of the city of San Diego,” said Bingham, who said staff reviews courts and ensures proper maintenance is upheld. “It’s been very successful…They are all well-used facilities.” For now, CV Tennis’ current permit will last three years. Bingham said that it’s important to note that there will be a new mayor this year and it’s possible the way that tennis facilities are operated could change.

CV resident achieves ‘Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming’ BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley open water swimmer Barbara Held completed the Triple Crown of Open Water Swimming this summer. The Triple Crown includes 21 miles across the English Channel between England and France, 21 miles across the Catalina Channel, and 28.5 miles around Manhattan Island in New York. Last summer she swam the Manhattan Island Marathon and two years ago, at age 56, the retired firefighter/paramedic broke the record for the oldest woman to swim the Catalina Channel in nine hours, 36 minutes and 53 seconds. Held crossed the English Channel on Aug. 24, slipping into the water at 2:30 a.m. coated in sunscreen with a light affixed to her American flag swim cap and a glow stick on her back. “I was the only swimmer that day because the conditions were not ideal,” Held said. “I finished just before a storm came through so I was really lucky.” She finished in 12 hours and 10 minutes, walking up onto the shore in Cape Gris Net, France, to applause from a handful of strangers. Completing the solo swim of the English Channel came after a two-year wait to book a boat pilot and get a tide. Tides and weather play a critical role in the crossing and swimmers must wait until the conditions are safe — some swimmers may never even get permitted to cross. “The channel is 21 miles across but no one ever swims 21 miles because on the English side the river goes north and on the France side the river goes south; two currents that are very strong,” Held said. “I had to go way north out of my way to break the current.” Held’s crossing boat was “no luxury at all,” just a small shell-fishing boat. There was only one covered area for the captain and his son, and a toilet was given a small amount of privacy by three plywood walls. Her observer and official recorder were on board while she swam. “It wasn’t a pleasant swim and there’s so much waiting it’s mentally tough,” Held said. “The conditions weren’t terrible but it felt like something was pushing against me the whole way.” Despite the push, Held kept a 68 strokes per minute count the entire way. The water temperature was about 60 degrees, slightly choppy and the channel was full of giant ferry boats, so lit up that Held said they looked like Christmas trees on their side as she swam. Sometimes boats can hold a channel swimmer up, but Held was lucky that none crossed her path. Held completed feedings along the way while treading water, drinking Cytocarb and Cytomax sports performance drinks every three hours, once mixing with a little oatmeal for some “sloppy porridge.” About six hours in she had some Jelly Babies, an English candy.

“I also had some M&Ms, just to give me a little break from the liquids at 10 hours because I just got so tired of drinking, I needed something to chew,” said Held, noting the saltwater made her mouth a “mess,” coating her teeth and throat. At one point, Held swam right into the boat because she was dreaming of drinking a chocolate malt. “I felt great after my swim,” Held said. “I wasn’t tired, I wasn’t cold, I had full range of motion and no Barbara Held muscle soreness.” She immediately had a Dr. Pepper and some potato chips once she got on board the boat. Once she landed in France, Held put on a wonder woman bathing suit. The humble Held considered the suit flashy, but it was a promise she had made to her nieces and their husbands who gave it to her for her 58th birthday. After he big accomplishment, she was happy to oblige and wear it. Held does most of her training in the La Jolla Cove but this year got an extra boost from the Cork Distance Week swim camp in Cork, Ireland, in June. The camp has swimmers completing two swims a day in the morning and night in varied conditions and times to prepare for the unpredictable English Channel. They swam in the ocean, rivers, streams, locks and reservoirs and, on the eighth day of camp, they complete what is called the Body Brain Confusion Swim where every possible obstacle is thrown at the swimmers. “It was an absolute blast,” Held said. The marathon swimming community is a close one and Held has made many friends along the way. This year she

Barbara Held swimming the English Channel. will observe a friend from Ireland and one from South Africa as they attempt to cross Catalina. “That’s what it’s all about, helping someone who helped you or teaching a new person what worked for you,” Held said. This summer she was part of a support team for Penny Palfrey, whom Held considers the world’s greatest marathon swimmer, as she attempted to swim from Cuba to the Florida Keys. Palfrey completed 91 miles in 41 hours before she had to abandon the swim due to a strong current about 26 miles from her destination. To attempt the crossing costs about $100,000 and it is a hot water swim with water nearing 85 degrees. Additionally, Held said, the water is “loaded with jellyfish” and shark infested. “No thank you,” Held says to the Cuba to Florida challenge but she strongly believes her friend will be able to complete that quest one day. Held spent about a month in England for her swim, returning home on Sept. 10. “I came home and found myself at a loss because I’d been preparing for this for two years,” Held admitted. She doesn’t know what she will attempt to conquer next but is hoping to get entrance to next summer’s Alaska’s Pennock Island Swim and the oldest open water swim marathon in the country, the Boston Light Swim. Both are “just eight miles.” She also hopes to be accepted into the Ederle Swim in New York, following the first woman to swim the English Channel, Gertrude Ederle’s 17-mile swim from Battery Park, New York, to New Jersey. If accepted, it will be just another standard marathon swimming summer for Held.

Local resident selected to testify before Congress on health care technology funding BY JOE TASH When Willa Fields testifies before Congress in a few weeks, she’ll have a simple message regarding federal funding to help doctors’ offices, clinics and hospitals convert to electronic medical records: “Don’t cut the money because we’re making progress, guys.” Fields, 65, a Rancho Santa Fe resident, is a professor of nursing at San Diego State University and board chair of the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society (HIMSS), a na-Willa Fields tional nonprofit group that supports improving health care through information technology and management systems. She was chosen though a competitive interview process to serve on a panel of experts that will testify on the effectiveness of federal support for health information technology, specifically a $19 billion appropriation passed by Congress in 2009. The hearing will be conducted by the House Science, Space and Technology Committee’s Technology and Innovation Subcommittee. The funding approved by Congress is being used to reimburse doctors, hospitals and clinics for costs involved with converting their patient records to digital form. Among the key questions the subcommittee is asking, said Fields, is whether the government is doing the right thing, and if its efforts are helping. “My answer is, unequivocally, yes,” said Fields. “We’re well on the road so don’t stop the funding.” Fields was originally scheduled to testify before the subcommittee on Thursday, Sept. 13. However, the hearing was postponed due to a conflict with a memorial service for the late astronaut Neil Armstrong. The hearing will be reset for late September or early October, said Dave Roberts, a Solana Beach City Councilman who serves on the staff of HIMSS as vice president of government relations. “It’s just great having a San Diego County leader be rec-
ognized and able to do this,” said Roberts, a District Three candidate for County Supervisor, of Fields’ impending testimony. HIMSS believes that one way to improve the quality of health care in the United States is to move toward electronic medical records, said Roberts. “If you don’t have the right information at the right location, it’s not possible to do that,” he said. “This is one thing where there seems to be agreement on Capitol Hill,” Roberts said. “This is an area where we should have a focus.” Fields is a “nurse-informaticist,” meaning she is an expert on the use of information technology to improve patient care. She recently concluded a research project at Sharp Grossmont Hospital, in which she and her team studied the impact of merging multiple computer systems into a single network, specifically regarding the work of nurses at the hospital. The study found that nurses had better information at their fingertips, and thus could make better health care decisions, under the new system, Fields said. Other studies have found that patient outcomes improve once electronic medical record systems are established, she said. The downside is that users such as doctors and nurses are not satisfied with the usability of electronic medical records systems, and would like them to be more user-friendly. “It’s not all wonderful,” she said. However, she said the government’s support of converting medical offices and hospitals to electronic records has lifted a major barrier — cost — to the implementation of such systems. As more money is invested in health information technology by the private sector, usability of the systems will improve, she said. With electronic medical records, she said, care can be coordinated more efficiently between different areas of a hospital, such as doctors, nurses and the pharmacy, eliminating errors and increasing safety. Information is also available quicker, which could make a difference in an ur-
gent medical situation. In the wake of the passage of the Affordable Care Act, or Obamacare, Americans continue to debate the best way to improve health care. The issue was raised repeatedly during the Republican presidential primaries, and continues to come up in the presidential campaign between Barack Obama and Mitt Romney. Despite its high spending on health care, the United States lags in patient outcomes. A study by the World Health Organization found the United States ranked 37th among nations in the performance of its health care system. And the most recent statistics show the U.S. has a higher infant mortality rate than many European and Asian countries. Fields said the large number of people without health insurance in the United States is a major factor in our lessthan-stellar health outcomes. For example, she said less than 3 percent of the population of England is without health insurance, while the percentage is between 10 and 15 percent in the U.S. “I think it’s unconscionable the United States doesn’t provide better health care for its residents,” she said. Along with expanding access to health care, she said, conversion to electronic health records can improve quality and safety and lower costs. And that’s a message she’ll be happy to share with members of Congress. “I’m flattered and honored and humbled to be able to represent HIMSS to this committee,” she said.

Developer surprises local student with big donation BY CLAIRE HARLIN For a local high school student, a newspaper article about her fundraising efforts for a Type 1 diabetes camp ended up connecting her to an L.A. donor who matched her contribution, enabling at least 30 kids to attend camp this summer. Erin Hook, a sophomore at The Bishop’s School in La Jolla, organized a service project called Shots for Sponsors, in which she contributed $5 for every “kill shot” or “ace serve” made during her 2011-12 season with Coast Volleyball Club. To qualify as a “kill shot” or “ace serve,” Hook has to score on that shot. A Type 1 diabetes patient herself, Hook attended Camp Conrad-Chinnock, located in the San Bernardino Mountains, last summer. Tom Wilson, the L.A. developer behind businesses such as San Diego’s Fish Market restaurants, also has a daughter is Type 1 diabetes, so when a friend forwarded him the newspaper article about Hook’s efforts, he wanted to get involved.
At that time in March, this newspaper group reported that Hook had raised $2,800 for Shots for Sponsors, and she has since raised nearly $4,000 more — more than any single supporter for the camp. Then, Wilson and his wife, Paula, offered to match what Hook raised. The couple tracked Hook down by calling The Bishop’s School, who relayed the Wilsons’ contact information to Hook. “I was really surprised because I wasn’t really sure how he found out about me,” said Hook. “Of course, I was really happy too. It was such a great thing out of the blue.” Wilson invited Hook to his parents’ home in Rancho Santa Fe and presented the student with a check for $6,300. Altogether, Hook was able to donate about $12,600 to Conrad-Chinnock, enough to provide 30 campers a full-ride scholarship to the camp. Hook’s mom, Lori Temko, said the funding means a lot to families dealing with
diabetes because medical supplies can be so expensive, even with insurance. “If you have more than one child, especially, it’s expensive to send your kids to camp,” Temko said, adding that the camp gives parents a week “off” with no worries because they can rest assured that their child will get the medical attention they need at camp. At Conrad-Chinnock, kids have constant access to snacks to keep blood sugar in check, and there is an endocrinologist and medical staff on site at all times. Temko said Wilson still calls her daughter to check in and see how she is doing. “He is just a wonderful, generous man who really thinks the camp is worthwhile,” said Temko. “It was really out of the blue for everybody. He said he just wants to keep following [Shots for Sponsors].” For more information on Hook’s project, follow the link: www.firstgiving. com/fundraiser/SFS/shotsforsponsors.

Continued from page 4 percent of UC San Diego’s operating budget — fundraising will continue to be key to the university’s success, Khosla said. “The construction program of the state is pretty much going to be non-existent,” he said. “Most of the buildings that you see out here are state-constructed buildings. The money came from the state, and I don’t see that to be the case going forward. I don’t think you will see as much construction, but I do think we will be constructing, on a very strategic basis, buildings that we need, and
ecosystems; oversee enhancements (such as recreational sports); provide stewardship; and increase education about the preserve.
Chair Gary Levitt, vice chair Elizabeth Rabbitt, as well as board members Trey Nolan and Ken London, volunteered to be on the Friends board.
these would have to be paid for by fundraising.” Though the Board of Regents largely establishes tuition, Khosla said he could help offset the impact of rising tuition on students and families by generating more money for scholarships. “That’s the only way, in my mind, to mitigate that,” he said, noting that despite exponential tuition increases during the past decade, UC San Diego is still a comparatively good value. “If you look at UC San Diego, where the tuition is about $12,000, in that range, and this is a top 10
university in the country, it offers the same or similar experience as private (universities) at one-third the price or one- fourth the price. Tuition at Stanford is like $42,000 and Carnegie Mellon is like $43,000. “I don’t say this to justify the tuition going up … but I say this just to put it in perspective,” he said. “This is still an extremely good value and we are working hard to make sure that going forward there will be scholarship money available and this place will be both accessible and affordable.”

Letters to the Editor/Opinion
Prop J is the best way to put Del Mar back on track for the future Prop J offers a bright future for Del Mar! I want the best for our village. Not just for me, but for future generations. I grew up here (my parents still live in town) and my husband and I are now raising three boys of our own in Olde Del Mar. The multi-generational richness of our village is one of the many things we love about it. Young families raising kids in Del Mar are a vital part of our community. You don’t always hear from us on political matters because we’re busy changing diapers, driving carpool, organizing snack duty and likely working too… But we also care deeply about the future because that is the town our kids are going to experience, interact with and grow from. I know I speak for a lot of young families when I say we are desperate to see some
new life breathed into our main street. Revitalization is long overdue and crucial for the vibrancy and viability of our city now and for our kids. Prop J is the best way to put Del Mar back on track for the future. A “No” vote on Prop J is not a vote for the status quo as many opponents would have you believe, it’s a vote for continued deterioration. Much of our commercial strip is heading in the wrong direction and getting worse. We need to turn this around for the sake of the next great generation in Del Mar. Let’s create a town we can all be proud of, and a town our kids want to move back to when they become young families too. Yes on Prop J! Lani Sipe Curtis

After reading the Del Mar Village Specific Plan (Proposition J on the November ballot), there are elements I like but others that will threaten our quality of life. Since I can’t vote for the positives without approving the negatives, I can’t support it. My family moved to Del Mar in 1975, the year our Community Plan was approved, and we’ve enjoyed its many benefits ever since. The Community Plan was democracy at its best, a bottom-up, grass roots effort by hundreds of citizen-volunteers. The citizens worked, from the beginning, on task forces with City Council and staff. The citizens designed, debated, revised and ultimately approved a highly-focused, resident-oriented plan that: •preserved our small town character •protected our natural environment •promoted resident-oriented businesses •favored pedestrians, joggers and cyclists over automobiles •enhanced our property values Thanks to the Community Plan, Del Mar residents enjoy a quality of life that’s unparalleled in Southern California or anywhere else I know. The Village Specific Plan (Proposition J on your ballot) is a horse of a different color. It’s the result of a top-down process that invited citizen comment and involvement after plan elements were selected by the Council in response to commercial property owners. Unfortunately, few citizen-inspired ideas found their way into it, and they had little or no impact on its organization, structure or intent. Thus, it remains the City’s plan, not the residents’. That’s the big picture on why I can’t vote for it. Here’s the specifics: •its elements are complex, unfocused, unprioritized, and poorly thought-out. •the traffic element is counter-intuitive and depends on optimistic projections by traffic engineers that don’t address impacts like diversion of traffic onto residential streets. The City actually abdicates that responsibility, asking residents of impacted areas to find solutions themselves. •the motivation, rationale, goals and success of the commercial revitalization element are not clear. It impresses me as too big (equivalent to three Del Mar Plazas), too little (in terms of captured revenue) and too
slow (to make a revenue difference given its 30-year build-out time-frame). •it doesn’t consider that the retail shops it attracts may fail because of external competition by the massive retail development that surrounds us and will increase if Paseo One is built. •it doesn’t anticipate what the City will do if those new shops fail, if tax receipts don’t make up the city’s shortfall, and the buildings become vacant. Bottom line, this is a poorly designed, top-down plan whose commercial and traffic elements will threaten our quality of life. Given these concerns, it’s no surprise that Del Mar residents who’ve always supported the Community Plan are divided about Proposition J. The good news is that there’s an alternative that’s modeled after the process that gave us the Community Plan. The City Council could: 1. Create committees of citizen volunteers to establish priorities and identify elements that they, the citizens, want to incorporate into a new plan, instead of presenting a City-designed plan to the citizens for comment. Bottom-up trumps top-down in my book. 2. Provide adequate staff support so the committee can design a separate plan for each of the elements, and establish a deadline for their report. 3. Ensure that each element includes clearly defined acceptance and stopping criteria and is rigorously tested before adoption so it proceeds only when it’s working well. 4. Allow citizens to vote on each element of that plan individually. We shouldn’t have to accept all the elements together. A plan designed by a volunteer committee of Del Mar citizens would reflect a consensus of our neighbors, and have the corresponding power of that consensus. Let’s give democracy a chance to work today the way it did in 1975 when Del Mar citizens created the Community Plan. I will vote for Del Mar on Nov. 6 by voting against Prop J. I hope you will too.

Proposition CC: Why we need a bond to support the DMUSD Proposition CC will be on the ballot this November. It is a bond issue that will provide funding to the Del Mar Union School District. This money is sorely needed to counteract the decline in funds available to our schools from Sacramento, where our property tax dollars should be coming back to us as education dollars. Sadly, in recent years, those property tax dollars have slowly been stripped away from the educational pool, and all school districts are feeling the loss. Communities have filed lawsuits to demand that California improve its education funding (see Robles-Wong vs. State of California) in an attempt to lift the State from its dismal rank of 35th in per-pupil spending nationwide. Our basic aid status has provided us with somewhat of a buffer against these declining revenues. Unlike other districts, where class sizes have ballooned and programs and curriculum extras have been slashed, the DMUSD is able to retain some of the features more commonly found in private schools. The ESC program is 50 percent funded from the district’s efforts to match DMSEF dollars, and ensures our kids retain education in the arts and sciences. Our teachers are among the best and the brightest, drawn here by the small class sizes and the ability to focus on students instead of budget restraints. To confirm that, consider the DMUSD’s test scores: routinely the highest in the county, even when compared to other districts with well-prepared students. But there has been some impact of State cuts in our district. We are now giving a “fair share” payment to the State of about $2 million in order to stave off the collapse of our Basic Aid rebate. Coincidentally, that is about the amount of our budget deficit in the 2011-2012 school year. DMUSD has done well to keep the cuts we have experienced away from the classroom. We still have small class sizes and specialized programs that provide our children with a very special public school experience compared to their peers in most other districts in San Diego. Our district administration is exceptionally lean, and our historically healthy reserve fund has been used in recent years to stave off budget deficits that resulted from previously unforeseen expenses, like security fencing at all of the schools.
But as Sacramento continues to turn down the tap on education funding, the DMUSD finds itself in the same hole that many other districts have already succumbed to: find an alternate source of funding, or make cuts that impact the classroom. To that end, the district has put forth Prop CC as an alternate source of funding. This $76.8 million bond will cost our taxpayers $8.44 per $100,000 of assessed value of their home each year. For the average homeowner in the district, that’s just $65 per year. $65 is not much to spend to ensure that our children continue to receive the best possible public school education they can get. $65 is a lot cheaper than private school, and it’s a small sum to pay to keep our schools the big draw they are to home buyers in our area; it’s a small sum to pay to ensure our property values. Bonds have been in the news a lot lately, and taxpayers are rightly concerned that their hard-earned dollars are put to good use. Our DMUSD officials are aware of that, and are taking the recommendations of San Diego tax collector Dan McAllister to heart. They will be addressing this issue at the Sept. 19 board meeting, and will provide voters with assurances that we will not fall into the same financial black hole that has brought such scrutiny upon the Poway school district. But we must act now. Interest rates are at an alltime low, making it the right time to strike. Waiting a few years may result in higher interest payments on our bond. Waiting a few years may result in watching Sacramento’s cuts hit our classrooms, forcing us to strip away those special features of our district, and making the education offered by the DMUSD more commonplace, less exceptional. Though the funds from our bond can not and will not be directly applied to the salaries of the district staff, the money can take pressure off the general fund that pays for those classroom expenses. Once cuts are made, it is hard to reverse that course. But we can stave it off and protect the quality of education we value in this community, if we act now.

Will Proposition J (the Village Specific Plan) revitalize Del Mar? Let’s take a look. Zel’s (previously Café Del Mar) has been in a holding pattern for several years; opening just enough to keep the permit from expiring. Numerous corporate restaurant chains want to locate in Del Mar. So why can’t this restaurant be leased to one of them? Located at the southeast corner of 13th Street, this 1,127-square-foot building was previously an AT&T payment office. It was purchased in 1983 by Zel, one of Del Mar’s favorite merchants. Zel leased the property to Mr. Dominelli who converted it to a “take-out deli” with an additional 946 square feet of outside dining area. However, Del Mar allowed it to operate as a restaurant called Café Del Mar, even though it had only three parking spaces instead of 23 parking spaces required by Del Mar’s parking ordinance. An attempt was made to convert this “take-out deli” permit to a restaurant permit by filing a request for variance for Café del Mar, and although never processed, this variance request is still in the City files, and it lists two other properties that were also operating as restaurants, even though they only had “take-out deli” permits. While Del Mar’s transaction with Mr. Dominelli failed to satisfy Del Mar’s parking requirements, restaurant use at 1247 Camino del Mar is now vested, because the City has collected a yearly business license fee for the past 29 years. The City’s solution to the parking shortage created by this restaurant is stated in a 2009 Parcel Survey (pages 62 and 63 of FBC_2009 Aug. 18 presentation) in which the City described the abundance of on-site parking at 1201 Camino del Mar by stating: “It appears that the existing underground parking (at 1201 Camino del Mar) could possibly be integrated into any future underground parking schemes located to the north of the site, creating a ‘shared use’ parking scenario for the en-
Misinformation rampant about Proposition J
I am flabbergasted by the misinformation being tossed about by opponents of Proposition J for the Del Mar Village Specific Plan. Most of their claims are 180 degrees from the truth. Prop J will reduce traffic congestion on Camino del Mar, not increase it. Visit the Bird Rock neighborhood of La Jolla if you don’t believe me. The City of San Diego employed the same approach for handling their traffic that is being proposed in Del Mar. It was a great success! Freerflowing traffic on Camino del Mar will result in less traffic impact on our neighborhoods, not more. More parking downtown will reduce spill-over parking impacts on Stratford, not increase them. But the most duplicitous claim by opponents is that they want to preserve the character of “Olde Del Mar.” Their icon for “Olde Del Mar” is Stratford Square, a building that could not even be built under today’s restrictive zoning. I respect residents who take the time to engage on civic issues, but disseminating intentionally misleading and deceptive information designed to scare voters is irresponsible, regardless of one’s motives.

tire block.” Proposition “J” formalizes this “parking lot taking” by requiring all new development and existing development to open private parking to the public when applying the “Del Mar Park Once” (SANDAG) parking standards for intensification or change of use. Otherwise Del Mar’s current parking ratios (which are three times SANDAG standards) apply. (Page VII-11 of the Village Specific plan.) Zel’s is an example of one of Del Mar’s “limbo properties” for which Proposition “J” (the Village Specific Plan) provides no solution. If I’m missing something here, I invite Del Mar’s Planning Department to explain. George Conkwright 1201 Camino del Mar
Vote ‘No’ this November to permitting pot shops This summer the Del Mar City Council received from its city attorney an impact report for the pot shop permitting proposition being forced upon Del Mar by the pro-marijuana lobby. Common sense is a ballot initiative or ordinance has to be certified as legal before it appears on the ballot, but that is not the case. Anything can be put on the ballot, legal or not. For this reason and due to many community concerns and illegalities of permitting the sale of marijuana out of a storefront, the Del Mar City Council wisely requested this impact report. I’ve recently found time to read the report on the city’s website. The report confirmed what many in the public have been saying for years, that according to the report, “dispensaries that distribute marijuana are illegal under California and federal law.” But because the pro-marijuana lobby’s paid professional signature gatherings obtained approximately 300 signatures, the ballot measure to try and permit pot shops will appear on the November general election ballot. It is imperative voters read the city’s impact report as it was prepared for us to understand all the harm and negative impacts to the city. Let me summarize some of the significant and
eye opening findings from the report: 1) Up to six pot shops could locate to Del Mar. 2) It “proposes a unique City tax on medical marijuana higher than the uniform sales tax rate imposed by California law; would require Board of Equalization to cease collecting all sales taxes in Del Mar.” 3) Selling pot in a storefront, “is not authorized by California medical marijuana laws and violates the federal Controlled Substances Act” and exposes any landlord to asset forfeiture for participating in an illegal activity. 4) “Serious Felons” and other convicted criminals are expressly authorized to obtain permits to operate marijuana storefronts and precious Federal grant money provided to the City is jeopardized if the City is required to issue permits authorizing violation of federal law. 5) There are no enforcement tools to ensure the marijuana storefront operations comply with the proposed initiative, nor will it allow the City to charge the storefronts a fee to offset likely needed additional public safety expenditures. 6) The ballot initiative mandates “City employees issue permits authorizing distribution of marijuana, aiding and abetting violation of California and federal criminal laws. Thus putting city employees in a problematic position as, “The U.S. Attorney has concluded that City employees are not immune from criminal prosecution.” 7) The pot shops’ business permits cannot be revoked or expire. 8) Parking is not addressed, not other standard business operating conditions. 9) Del Mar business licensing requires that the business not be in violation of city, state and federal laws, which the pot shop violates, bringing an unfortunate standard to the business community. Del Mar isn’t the only city being forced to violate the law, voters in Solana Beach are facing the same harmful and illegal ballot initiative from out of town prospective pot shop owners. When voting this November, please consider these impacts and vote “No” to permitting pot shops. Kelsey Cross Del Mar

Cathedral Catholic student competes at World Junior U18 Baseball Championship in South Korea Giovanni Garbella, a student at Cathedral Catholic High School, returned recently from competing in the World Junior U18 Baseball Championship in Seoul, South Korea. Giovanni represented the Italian National Team in the tournament, which attracts elite baseball teams from countries all over the world who, after extensive tryouts, send their best players to compete. Twelve countries competed from Aug. 30 - Sept. 9. Italy was in a group competing with Canada, Panama, Japan, Taipei and the Czech ReGiovanni Garbella public. Teams competing in another group were the U.S., Venezuela, Colombia, Korea, Australia and the Netherlands. Giovanni started playing baseball when he was 5 years old with the La Jolla Youth Baseball. He currently plays soccer and baseball at Cathedral Catholic High School, following in the footsteps of his older brother, Nicola, who was voted the Don’s MVP of their 2011 CIF baseball team. Being of Italian American heritage and holding dual citizenship, Giovanni spent numerous summers playing baseball in Italy with the local team of Aosta, north of Turin, where his father, Orlando, is from and where his grandmother lives. Giovanni was selected to the alternate list of players for the U14 USA baseball team in the quarterfinals of the 2010 Junior Olympics in Peoria, Arizona, then the following year played for the Italian National Team when he won the European U15 Championship, securing the win in the final against the Czech Republic with an inside-the-park Grand Slam. This year, at 16 years old, he was selected to the U18 Italian National Team and represented his father’s home country in the XXV 18U 2012 Baseball World Championship. In the tournament, he found his school-mate, senior Stephen Gonsalves, representing USA which won the tournament. Stephen pitched two games with two wins and a ERA of 1.12. Giovanni plans to continue playing baseball at Cathedral, where he is also the starting soccer goalie. His interest in sports is coupled with serious academic pursuits, as he holds a 3.75 GPA and his leadership was recognized this year when he was selected to be a member of the ASB as Commissioner of Athletics. He plans to study engineering or physics in college.

Torrey Pines Falcons Jr Midget defeat Temecula Grizzlies BY BILL BUTLER The Falcons kicked off to the Grizzlies who returned the kick 2 yards to the 30-yard line. Temecula picked up 1st downs on their first two series of plays. Those two 1st downs would be their last of the game. Temecula did score a touchdown on a long pass with less than a minute on the clock. At that point, the Mercy Rule was in effect after Torrey Pines went ahead 31-6 early in the 4th quarThe Falcons beat the Grizzlies 31-6 ter. Torrey Pines started well on offense, as Conner Whitton completed his first 4 passes before the fifth was dropped. However, the Falcons did not score until early in the 2nd quarter when Garland Peed threw a 17-yard touchdown to Scotty Gange in the left side of the end zone. Tucker Pike added the 2-point kick. Zac Friedland added a second touchdown on a long punt return before halftime, and Pike was again good on the kick. Torrey Pines led at halftime, 16-0. The Falcons added a third touchdown in the third quarter. A penalty against the Grizzlies placed the ball on their 9 yard line, 1st and goal. Jackie Plashkes picked up 4 yards before Friedland scored untouched. Another Pike kick, and Torrey Pines led 24-0. The Falcons scored their last touchdown on the first play of the 4th quarter. QB Peed roll out on a bootleg from the 5-yard line into the right end of the end zone. The Falcons ran for a single extra point, making the score 31-0. From that point on, the game continued with a running clock and special ball placements after touchdowns for the Grizzlies. Temecula scored on a long pass play with less than a minute left to play. The game ended at 31-6, Falcons. This was the most complete game of the season for the Falcons, who dominated all phases of the game: offense, defense, running, passing, and kicking. Torrey Pines will meet a good team from Murrieta on Sept. 22 at Falcon Stadium.

Expanded San Diego Film Festival to debut in La Jolla BY PAT SHERMAN With fresh energy and leadership at the helm — and a bevvy of A-list events and 50 percent more screenings — San Diego Film Festival (SDFF) organizers are upping the ante for 2012 and beyond. A primary component of SDFF’s growth strategy is the addition of La Jolla as a venue for several of its top screenings, including “Quartet,” actor Dustin Hoffman’s directorial debut, and an opening night appearance by legendary filmmaker Gus Van Sant (“Milk,” “My Own Private Idaho”), who will be honored with a career retrospective and a screening of his 1997 drama, “Good Will Hunting” (starring Matt Damon, Robin Williams and Ben Affleck). “La Jolla’s inclusion was really important,” said the
festival’s new board president, Kevin Leap, noting that screenings will now be split between the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) in La Jolla and Reading Theater in the Gaslamp, where the festival has been based for years. “There are a lot of people in North County, La Jolla included, that just won’t go to the Gaslamp,” Leap said. “La Jolla has such a high propensity for supporting the arts that we wanted to make it as easy as possible for La Jollans (to attend).” This year’s festival, Sept. 26-30, includes 112 films, documentaries and shorts, including 11 world premieres and 16 West Coast premieres — all jury-selected from 1,300 submissions. Tickets for individual movies are $14 pre-sale and $16 at the door. Passes range
Director Gus Van Zant is set to appear on opening night. from $75 for an entire day of screenings to $500 for a VIP festival pass granting access to all four days of screenings, events, and panels. Leap said organizers wanted to hold their “most prestigious event,” the Van Sant tribute, in La Jolla.

ArtPower!’s fall lineup is simply irresistible BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT ArtPower! — UC San Diego’s stimulating performing arts program — is going into its ninth season, and this year’s mix of music, dance, spoken word and film from around the world looks as eclectic and exciting as ever. October is the hottest month, with something to tempt every taste. The series runs through May. Classicists will cheer the return of the Grammy award-winning Pacifica Quartet, which opens ArtPower’s chamber music series with string quartets by Beethoven and Prokofiev. Dance devotees will welcome the appearance of London’s Russell Maliphant Company, which partners dazzling lighting effects with compelling choreography. They’ll be performing “AfterLight,” based on the life of ballet superstar Vaslav Nijinsky, who was hailed as the “god of the dance” at age 20 and spent the last half of his life lost in a private world of schizophrenia. Jazz fans will groove to the sounds of Swiss-born, New York-based harmonica whiz Gregoire Maret, who
Congolese street performers Staff Benda Bilili will bring their customized tricycles, tin-can guitars and vibrant vocals to Mandeville Auditorium, Oct. 23. COURTESY has been compared to Stevie Wonder. And for lovers of global music, there’s the unusual Staff Benda Bilili, a group of Congolese street musicians, some of them polio survivors, who have been riding the waves of success on their customized tricycles, wowing international audiences with their vibrant vocals and tin-can guitars. For afficionados of punk rock, poetry, and the New York art scene of the late 1960s and ‘70s, there’s a very special event: an evening of spoken word with legendary Patti Smith, the Godmother of Punk who started her career by portraying herself as a 20th-century
version of France’s 19th-century wild-child, poet Arthur Rimbaud. Smith’s most recent success is more mainstream, as author of the bestselling memoir “Just Kids,” which documents her life with the late, still-provocative, photographer Robert Mapplethorpe, a half-century ago. Smith, who has been called “a Rimbaud with Marshall amps,” is probably the only recipient of the following trifecta of honors: induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, winner of the National Book Award, and Commander of the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, France’s highest recognition
of artistic achievement. “This season we’re featuring performers who are looking back at the past and on to the future, like Patti Smith and the Russell Maliphant Company,” said Marty Wollesen, ArtPower! artistic director. “We’re bringing back old friends, like the Pacifica Quartet and David Sedaris, who’s coming in January, and introducing new companies, like Staff Binda Bilili. If you really want to have a good time, they’re the ones to go see. They’re just so much fun, an incredibly joyful experience!” ArtPower! has joyful experiences for film buffs, too, starting with The Horrible Imaginings Film Festival, Oct. 1-2, which includes classy treasures like the Bunuel-Dali surrealist short, “Un Chien Andalou,” and sci-fi classics like, “Invasion of the Body Snatchers.” And then there are Foovies — movies at The Loft, preceded by a subjectappropriate dinner — like the new father-and-son French chef documentary “Entre Les Bras,” served up with Salade Nicoise, Cornish Hen, and other tasty delights a la francaise on Oct. 4.

Table 926 offers California cuisine from seasonal, local ingredients BY KELLEY CARLSON ull up a chair at Table 926 and experience a taste of California. The setting is casual yet upscale, rustic yet polished. The five-seat bar and the main dining room tables are fashioned from fir; the gleaming floor is also composed of wood. Nature-inspired paintings by Jarod Farver rest against one brick wall; the other wall contains a display filled with horizontal bottles of vintages from around the world. Large windows — which permit views of the child-friendly, 10-seat outdoor patio — allow for natural light to filter through, and at night, the ceiling’s small amber lights fill in. Contemporary jazz music adds to the ambience. Chalkboards that list the day’s specials and upcoming events sandwich a window that provides a peek into the semiopen kitchen. “It’s important to be able to see the guests and have a relationship,” co-owner and Executive Chef Matt Richman said. Table 926 is only open during dinner hours, but kicks things off with a happy hour most evenings. Discounts are offered on certain labels of wine and beer, and bites, such as Pork Cheek Carnitas Tacos and the Cheese Plate. Much of the dinner and dessert menus is seasonal, driven by ingredient availability at area farms. One of Richman’s go-to spots for produce is Suzie’s Farm, near the Tijuana Estuary. He also sources seafood from a local

For meal starters, offerings include Vine Ripened Tomato Gazpacho with blue crab, avocado, micro greens and extra-virgin olive oil — a soup that is fresh and has a hint of spiciness; and Grilled Local Peaches with mache (a salad green with small, dark leaves), spiced walnuts in maple syrup, burrata and a white cava (Spanish sparkling wine) vinaigrette. Among the entrees are tender Glazed Pork Cheeks with guajillo-tamarind glaze and braised greens on top of polenta; and a Bistro Hamburger with manchego cheese, zinfandel-honey braised onions and housemade pickles on a brioche bun with a side of frites.
Roasted Beet Salad
The three-item children’s menu features a 4-ounce burger with manchego cheese on a brioche bun that is served with fries; chicken breast and fries; and penne pasta in butter and Parmesan. One of the dessert staples is the Caramelized Banana Split with scoops of Nutella, vanilla and raspberry ice cream. Do-it-yourself toppings of cherries, whipped cream, pistachios, chocolate sauce and a pineapplecaramel sauce are provided on a caddy. A prix-fixe menu is available Sundays, which allows the guest to select one appetizer, entree and dessert for $33. Every six to eight weeks, a $49 five-course beer dinner is held; wine dinners will eventually be planned, according to Richman. Patrons wear everything from jeans and T-shirts to suits. The crowd tends to be a little older earlier in the evening, and there are also families. But after 8 p.m., there are more people under the age of 40, Richman noted. He recommends requesting a seat in the dining room’s back row to watch Table 926 in action. “We’re really open-minded and humble, and try to stay as unpretentious as possible,” Richman said. As for parking, there are seven spots in the lot in front of the restaurant that are available on a first-come, first-serve basis after 5 p.m. Otherwise, there are places to park on nearby avenues.

Solana Beach group dines in to dish out their dollars to charity
New York milliner to open hands-on hat shop in SB BY CLAIRE HARLIN Jill Courtemanche loves stories about how her grandmother had a close relationship with her milliner, like the type of relationship a man might have with his barber or bartender. She’d visit her on special occasions, and her milliner kept up with landmarks and goings-on in Courtemanche’s life. Wait… what’s a milliner? It’s a hat maker — and the profession isn’t just a figment of our grandparents’ stories. While some may think of the hat as being a traditional accessory that was more common in decades past, local milliner Jill Courtemanche said millinery is far from being a lost art. “The phone always rings and there’s always someone looking for a hat,” said Courtemanche, whose hat shop, Jill Courtemanche Millinery (JCM), is set to open at 410 Cedros Ave. in Solana Beach on Nov. 8. After attending the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, Courtemanche worked as top milliner Suzanna Newman’s assistant. For eight years at the Madison Avenue shop, she outfitted the heads of celebrities such as Yoko Ono, Donatella Versace and Princess Mary of Denmark. Then she went solo, established a presence in the wholesale market and moved to Encinitas, where she now lives and works. Courtemanche said she couldn’t have chosen a better place to open her hat shop — which will double as her studio — than in the Cedros Design District. Being so close to Del Mar, where hats are a staple accessory of the horse races, as well as among the many local artists on Cedros, she feels right at home. Not only will JCM have hats on display, but she will make custom hats and hold classes. The studio will be entirely visible from the shop, so guests can see the entire hat-making process right before their eyes. “I’ve found that people really love the process, and that makes them excited that I’m actually making a hat for them,” she said. Courtemanche said one of the favorite parts of her job is establishing strong relationship with her clients. For instance, it’s not uncommon for a woman to come in for a bridal headpiece, and then return a few years later for a baby’s bris ceremony,
Jill Courtemanche will open Jill Courtemanche Millinery on Nov. 8 in Solana Beach. and then maybe a few years later for an Easter hat. “A woman can even come in to have a different flower put on a hat for a different occasion,” she said, adding that clients also return for repairs or refurbishing. Courtemanche said she thinks her biggest clientele will be men, because hats like fedoras are really emerging as an “in” item. “My sales for men’s hats have gone up a lot, and I’ve even started doing bow ties and pocket squares,” she said. “It’s really becoming a look for guys to get a custom hat made for them.” She said women often seek out custom hats because they are distinguishing pieces, and most want one that nobody else has. A hat is also a classic item that survives the ages in both style and longevity. “It’s not about young or old; it’s about style,” she said, adding that “a custom hat is always made to last.” Courtemanche said she will have hats for every season, transitioning from straw to felt for the fall, for example, and using velour in her winter designs. She will have casual and formal designs, appropriate for occasions from an outdoor wedding to an indoor cocktail party. “Wearing a hat makes getting dressed so much easier,” she said. ‘It’s the focal point of any outfit and, even better, you don’t have to worry about fixing your hair.” For more information, visit www.jillcourtemanche.com.

BY CLAIRE HARLIN What started as an idea over dinner at the South Carolina home of Marsha Wallace in 2003, has turned into a global initiative with more than 250 chapters across the nation. The idea is simple: members of Dining for Women chapters meet periodically to enjoy a potluck meal together, and they donate the amount of money they would have paid at a restaurant to the group’s featured program for that month. Solana Beach resident Debbie Hirsch attended a meeting with a friend in San Jose, and thought the concept was so great that she pitched it to some friends and began a Solana Beach chapter. The Solana Beach Dining for Women meetings always takes place over brunch, from 10 a.m. to noon on Saturdays, at the Park Del Mar Clubhouse, located at 645 E. Solana Cir, Solana Beach, 92075. The next meeting is scheduled for Oct. 6. Hirsch said she works for a university in Santa Clara that’s committed to social justice, so starting the local chapter was right up her alley. She also said she has a personal commitment to helping empower women and children living in extreme poverty. That’s exactly what Dining for Women’s programs do. This month’s featured program, “Health In Harmony,” gives Indonesian women the opportunity to purchase two goats, and repayment is the first kid goat and two bags of manure to be used in organic farms. The program doesn’t just give, but it fosters economic

Other programs may foster health or education, but have one common denominator — they are designed to empower. “The concept here is helping women help women,” said Hirsch. At the brunch meetings, the group receives status reports on prior donations so they can track how their money is being put to use. There is also a lot of social time and in-depth discussion on the featured program. Hirsch said many times one of the women has lived in or traveled to the countries of the featured programs, and are able to share their insight with the rest of the group to provide a broader, personal perspec-
tive. “One of the great things about the group is meeting these well-traveled, educated, remarkable women,” Hirsch said. According the group’s national website, www.diningfrowomen.com, the group has more than 8,000 members, and hundreds of thousands of women from more than 30 countries have benefitted from the organization’s donations. The group, so far, has raised more than $1.5 million. Solana Beach’s Dining for Women always welcomes new members, and those interested can contact hirschdl@aol.com.

BodyROK Pilates SPX classes Sept. 22 to raise money for cancer research, benefit local family Inspired by his mother’s 29-year breast cancer survivor story, BodyROK instructor Kevin Patterson is raising money to help the family of friend Laura Luna as she battles liver cancer. To support his cause, BodyROK studios will be hosting a day of awareness with donation-only SPX Pilates classes on Saturday, Sept. 22, at 1 p.m., 2 p.m., 3 p.m. and 4 p.m.. The event will take place in the BodyROK studio located at 437 South Highway 101, Suite #201, Solana Beach, CA 92075. “Laura and her family have already been through
so much as she has already undergone a double mastectomy, radiation and chemo for breast cancer, and is now facing four more months of aggressive chemotherapy to try to beat cancer that has metastasized to her liver through her blood,” said Patterson. “Laura’s husband and two teenage daughters need our support as they care for Laura during this difficult time. I truly feel together we can make a difference.” In addition to the BodyROK classes, Patterson is com-
mitted to running a 50K (31 miles) “Running for a Reason” race in El Moro Canyon, Orange County on Oct. 20. He has set a goal of raising $2,500.

Royal Dance Academy continues to grow and thrive in a variety of ways •Owner Francine Garton’s passion for teaching helps students excel BY KAREN BILLING There is always something going on at The Royal Dance Academy in Carmel Valley’s Piazza Carmel. Its four studios are full every week day until 9:15 p.m.; the place pulses with dance activity all day Saturdays; and on Sundays there’s visions of sugar plum fairies as dancers rehearse to put on the studio’s first-ever “Nutcracker Ballet” this winter. Owner Francine Garton, endlessly bubbly and cheerful, couldn’t be happier with her busy dance studio as she prides herself in serving up the classes everyone wants and needs from ballet, jazz, contemporary, lyrical, hip hop, musical theater and even acting. The studio will even offer its first Zumba dance-workout class on Tuesday, Sept. 25, at 10:30 a.m. The class is free. For the last three years, Royal Dance has offered competitive dance teams and they have 22 teams dancing in about four competitions per year. Teams performed at Pulse in Las Vegas, a three-day dance convention, this year and one of the team dancers, a 12 year old, has earned a spot to perform on Broadway in “Annie.” Garton teaches ballet and jazz, where she loves working up a sweat alongside the kids, leaping across the room and doing splits. She also trains students for the Royal Academy of Dance ballet examinations. An examiner flies in for four days every March and the students in the program have had a 100 percent pass rate. “We have over 700 students and what I like is that for any child, no matter what age, whether they want to dance for fun or want to be a professional, I can offer something for everyone,” Garton said. Garton strongly believes in having a great team of teachers and has 16 on staff, wanting students to find a teacher they can really connect with. “I want each child to walk out with a smile on their face, feel that they did something great, get more self esteem, had lots of fun and know that their teacher loves them and cares about them,” Garton said. Garton grew up in Liverpool, England, and got her start in dancing at age 8, walking to the little local dance school around the corner from the home she shared with her parents and five siblings. “I had a wonderful teacher who still teaches now,” Garton said. “I loved to dance
held registration in the food court. Garton was pleasantly surprised by the crowd that turned up that summer day. She enrolled 400 students in her first year. Royal Dance Academy has now expanded three times in its 11 years and now has more than 700 students. The studio underwent its most major renovation last year during a stressful two months when they took over the space of the old post office (it is now inside Elam’s Hallmark). All the stress was worth it as Garton feels the result is gorgeous, with four studios and over 6,000 square feet. “I really built it exactly how I wanted it but those who know me know that I’m always striving, always thinking what I can do to make this better,” Garton said. She would never want to move from Pi-
Royal Dance Academy owner Francine Garton. Photo/Karen Billing but she really nurtured the love of it.” Her teacher encouraged her to pursue dance at a higher level and, at age 14, Garton was accepted to the Legat School of Dance in London and went to study ballet, contemporary, jazz and musical theater. She then attended the Northern Ballet School to study dance and dance instruction. Garton danced for the Manchester City Ballet and toured around dancing professionally, everything from cruise ships to musical theater. At age 21 she opened up her own dance school. “I always thought I would dance for much longer but when I started teaching I just realized that was my gift,” Garton said. “When you’re teaching a child and making a difference, that was really what I became passionate about.” In 2001, Garton came to America with her husband Billy and her two children (she is now a mother of four). Billy went to work right away, co-founding Carmel Valley Manchester Soccer, and Garton found Carmel Valley the perfect place to open a dance studio. “You know when you know,” Garton said. “We had uprooted our lives to come here and it was a big risk but, as with everything, you have to go all in, you can’t do it half-hearted. To fulfill your dreams sometimes you have to take a big risk.” She found a space in Piazza Carmel and as they couldn’t yet get into the studio, she
azza Carmel because the location is perfect for her studio parents, but she admits to the occasional “itchy feet”— she won’t rule out the possibility of opening a second location. “I feel proud of what I’ve achieved,” Garton said, noting she sometimes still feels the need to pinch herself when walking into the studio. “It’s hard work teaching, running a business and juggling a husband and four kids. I try to find a balance of doing something I love, making a difference and also being the best wife and mother as well. At times it’s overwhelming but I get through.” Garton punctuated that last statement with one of her trademark huge grins. Registration is open for classes and schedules are online.

San Diego Musical Theatre to present ‘Footloose’ San Diego Musical Theatre recently announced the third production of its 2012 season, “Footloose,” to run Sept. 28 - Oct. 14 at the Birch North Park Theatre. Carmel Valley’s Debra Wanger will be among the actors performing in the production. (See story next issue.) One of the most explosive movie musicals in recent memory bursts onto the live stage with exhilarating results. This heartfelt story is of a father longing for the son he lost and of a young man aching for the father who walked out on him. To the rockin’ rhythm of its Oscar and Tonynominated top 40 score (the soundtrack album reached number one on the Billboard charts and has sold over 15 million copies!) and augmented Debra Wanger with dynamic new songs for the stage musical, “Footloose” celebrates the wisdom of listening to young people, guiding them with a warm heart and an open mind. Group discounts for parties of 10 or more are available by calling the administrative office at 858-560-5740.

Sending summer out with a bang and a band‌ BY JODI KENNEDY “It’s not the just the best way to finish off the weekend and kiss the summer goodbye, it’s the only way!â€? Those were the words of one concert-goer at The Del Mar Foundation’s summer twilight concert on Sept. 9. But just about every one of the almost 3,000 music lovers in attendance felt the same way. Lugging beach chairs, blankets and unbelievable picnic fare, families and friends gathered on the grassy knoll overlooking Del Mar’s beautiful beach and settled in to enjoy an amazing evening of music, dancing, laughter and the best in Front row: Kathleen Ferrin, Carla alrfresco dining! Playing everything from pop hits, golden oldies and evLufting; back row: Bill Ferrin, erything in between, the seven- piece band The Heroes rocked Edward Dabran, Steve Perdersen this town inside out at Sunday night’s end of season Powerhouse Park sunset show. The grass dance floor was filled with tumbling toddlers and smooth grooving grown-ups. Being reminded that “these are the good times. “ and to “leave their cares behind‌â€? was the perfect way to ring out the end of yet another spectacular Del Mar summer and was the gift of The Del Mar Foundation, in partnership with local sponsors. As they have been for the past 30 years, the Del Mar Foundation brings the community together with these unique seaside concerts. This year, concert patrons include long-time sponsor the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club and, new this year, Marrokal Design & Remodeling. Concert supporters Jake’s Del Mar, Pacifica Del Mar, Poseidon on the beach, and Sbicca have joined them in underwriting all four of this summer’s Powerhouse concerts.

Gala raises funds for organization that supports foster youth Couple to chair PEERS Network Black Tie event Oct. 13 BY KAREN BILLING For local resident Jaime Feder, co-chairing the “4th Annual PEERS Network Black Tie Gala� is more than just planning a big, successful event, it’s about supporting a cause that is dear to her heart. Feder is an active philanthropist for Just in Time for Foster Youth, the beneficiaries of PEERS’ Oct. 13 gala. Just in Time offers a much-needed resource for San Diego foster youth, who have essentially no family support system once they turn 18. According to the Cities, Counties and Schools Partnership, 40 to 50 percent of former foster youth become homeless within 18 months and only 1 to 3 percent graduate college. About 25 percent of foster youth will be in prison within two years of emancipation. Just in Time seeks to offer foster youth the foundation for success by giving them a caring community of adults after they hit 18 so they can thrive and enjoy productive lives. The gala supporting Just in Time will be held on Sat-

urday, Oct. 13, at a private La Jolla Farms estate. Different from a typical gala, the event will be “lounge style, SoCal black tie� and feature tastings from 10-12 local restaurants and caterers. There will be a live and silent auction with some great prizes, including a Corum watch; a private dinner for eight with live music performance, a sommelier and floral arrangements from Adelaide’s Flowers; a lady’s Botox party from Dr. Ron Soltero and catered by Giuseppe Catering; and a week stay at a private home in Umbria, Italy. For Feder, getting involved with Just in Time seemed to be fate. Feder, originally from Connecticut, moved to San Diego as a consultant for Jerome’s furniture stores. She kept seeing letters go across her desk for Just in Time, requesting any damaged furniture for their programs. When she started dating her now-husband Dan, it turned out that he lived in the same building as the founder of Just In Time, and Feder and the founder spoke every time they were in the elevator together. After Feder left Jerome’s in 2010 to start a family, another friend handed her a flyer for Just in Time and she felt it was just the sign she needed to finally get in-
volved. “Everywhere I turned I’d see something else for Just in Time,� said Feder, who was looking for something else to do since leaving work. She made an appointment to meet with executive director Don Wells to learn about Just in Time’s programs. Wells told her a story about a 15-year-old foster teen whose foster parent told him as soon as he walked into his new home that he was only there until the foster parent paid off his truck. Wells told another story about a foster teen they were working with to furnish her dorm room. When the JIT team asked her what her favorite color was, she responded in awe that no one had ever asked her that before. “It just said so much about what we take for granted growing up in families,� Feder said. “You hear these things about what foster youth go through, things that are so deep and awful and they don’t have any support.� Just in Time offers them that support that many would take for granted — an opinion when a mechanic is trying to take advantage of a solo 18 year old by charging $900 for a $90 repair, someone to teach them how to open a bank account or make a household budget.

To benefit from JIT services, former foster youth ages 18 through 26 must be working or attending school or a combination of the both, have ongoing participation in JIT events and activities, and complete an annual program evaluation survey. Some of JITâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s programs include Career Horizons, which builds a network of professional mentors, and College Bound, which helps provide former foster youth with computers, books, supplies and basic dorm furnishings, as well as information on financing. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One program I really love and am really involved in is My First Home,â&#x20AC;? said Feder. My First Home provides gently used or new items for JIT participantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; new living spaces, everything from cooking utensils to furniture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I went to one of the homes and was shocked that they didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t even have a toilet seat, no shower curtain, nothing to even hang [the foster youthâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s] towels on,â&#x20AC;? said Feder. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not talking about pillows from Pottery Barn, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about providing actual necessities to live.â&#x20AC;?

Principal of The Monarch School for homeless children speaks to local teen volunteers BY MARSHA SUTTON The 2012-2013 kick-off event for the founding San Diego chapter of Teen Volunteers in Action featured a moving presentation by Joel Garcia, principal of The Monarch School, a public school serving students in kindergarten through 12th grade who are impacted by homelessness. Founded in 1988, The Monarch School Joel Garcia of the Monarch School offers a comprehensive was the featured speaker. educational program for homeless children, many of whom are two to three grade levels behind. The school also provides for other needs such as food, laundry and shower facilities, hygiene, clothing, school supplies, transportation and counseling. TVIA boys in grades 8-12 listened attentively as Garcia described the pain of homelessness and the great need for communities to care for homeless children. Nationwide, about 1.5 million children are affected by homelessness, with 15,870 living in San Diego County. Last year the number was 13,240. Many of these children are at risk for malnutrition and obesity, as well as ear infections, dental needs and other physical ailments, Garcia said. Homeless children living in poverty often also suffer social and emotional distress. Unstable family lives, temporary and uncertain shelter, and the upheaval of frequently changing schools impact achievement and learning, Garcia said. The average length of stay at The Monarch School, he said, is six months. One fifth-grade boy has attended 10 different schools in his lifetime, with many students changing schools two or three times a year. These â&#x20AC;&#x153;tough transitionsâ&#x20AC;? are tremendously disruptive on childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lives, he said. Garcia, who has a teaching credential and began his teaching career at San Diego Juvenile Hall, said many of his
students repeatedly witness domestic violence. As a result, â&#x20AC;&#x153;some kids model this behavior at school.â&#x20AC;? Because most students require interventions and emotional support, the school provides a therapist on campus. Despite the unstable living conditions of many students, the attendance rate is a high 92 percent. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They want to come to school,â&#x20AC;? Garcia said. Before Garcia spoke, the audience of hundreds of TVIA teens and their parents watched a short video of Garcia being honored for his work on the Ellen DeGeneres Show. One of the only schools of its kind in the country, The Monarch School is a public-private partnership between the San Diego County Office of Education and the nonprofit Monarch School Project which raises private donations for the school. It currently serves 146 students and is at maximum capacity in its 10,000-square-foot building. Last year the school Noah Leung, Carol Leung, Pat Millar, Mitchell Millar turned away 65 kids due to lack of space. To address the capacity limitations, about $14.4 million Photos/McKenzie Images was raised, mostly from private donations, for a new 60,000-square-foot facility in East Village which is expected to Fe, Cardiff, Encinitas and Carlsbad, Teen Volunteers in Action be ready in 2013. The new school will offer green space, cur- is an organization of young men committed to developing rently lacking at the existing facility, and will be able to serve community leaders through a structured program of volunteerism, philanthropy and personal growth. 300 students. For more information on TVIA, see www.tvia.org. Garcia told the TVIA boys that volunteers matter and what the teens do to help their community makes an impact. At the conclusion of Garciaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s speech, TVIA chapter president Katherine Foster presented a donation from TVIA to The Monarch School.

Sow some wild oats this fall The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN While scoping out new seasonal products in the supermarket this week, a fellow shopper approached me as I was intently examining a label, giving an aura of gastronomic expertise. She was exasperated at meal planning, seeking some culinary solace and a grain intervention as her son was allergic to corn, her daughter suffered from gluten intolerance, she was bothered by a soy sensitivity, while her husband had pooped out on pasta. It’s that neither fish nor fowl time of year – between summer and fall, too
warm still for hearty comfort foods, and past the season for light, chilled dishes. Paying homage to the autumn harvest and my frustrated shopping cohort, here are some exciting riffs for the season’s cooler clime. Fashionable Fabulous Farro Farro is the bomb not only at health markets, but froufrou eateries across the land. It is the founding father of the grain family from which all others have sprouted, and fortified the Roman legions. But for centuries after the fall of the Empire, farro fell into obscurity, given the shaft by other grains that were higher yielding. It has made a recent comeback in Italy and other parts of Europe while trickling overseas, thanks to the public relations push by farmers of the French Haute Savoie supplying the grain to trendy eateries and health markets. Farro should not be confused with cousin spelt or other grains although it does resemble brown rice in beige coloring and elongated shape. It is its own grain with a toothy, chewy tex-
ture with nuances of oats and barley, but more pedigree and refined in both taste and appearance. Farro, perhaps higher maintenance than others, needs to be soaked prior to cooking, but is well worth the extra pampering. This gem of a grain has a mother lode of fiber, Vitamins A, B, C and E, along with magnesium, and since it is low in gluten, farro is easily digested by those with an intolerance. This ancient grain also has a starch resembling that in Arborio rice, making a great creamy risotto with nutty undertones. Swap out your go-to pasta or rice with farro for a fun gustatory improv. Whip up a farro fazoul soup with navy beans and kale, farro with grilled wild-caught salmon in a chimichurri sauce, wild mushroom pilaf, tossed Greek salad with heirloom tomatoes, feta, farro and scallions, roast chicken with farro, apricot and fig stuffing, or a farro take on rice pudding with coconut custard and golden raisins. Beluga of Beans Lens-shaped lentils that come in designer shades of
Wild Mushroom Farro Risotto 1 cup Farro 6 cups vegetable broth, heated 1 cup assorted mushrooms (button, crimini, oyster) 1/2 small red onion, minced 3 tablespoons olive oil 2 tablespoons sweet butter 1/3 cup white wine Sea salt and black pepper to taste 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped Soak farro in a bowl with 4 cups of water for 30 minutes, then drain. In a large skillet melt the butter and oil, and sauté the onion and mushrooms, seasoning with salt and pepper. Add the farro and toast for about 2 minutes. Add coral red, mellow yellow, tan, olive green and black have been around since the Neolithic period, being one of the original domesticated crops of the Near East. These legumes loaded with immune-boosting properties, high fiber, protein, folate, stress-relieving Vitamin B and other trace minerals have even been touted by nutrition gurus as one of the five healthiest foods on the planet. The peppery-flavored French green legumes hold up well after cooking, but it is the black beauties, the Beluga beans, that are prized for their slick glistening color, firm nutty texture and circular shape reminis-

cent of caviar. For some fun change ups, do a black lentil with roasted root veggie casserole, lentil curry and rice or a sweet and spicy lentil garlic soup. One word of legume advice: Since legumes cook more slowly in the presence of salt or acidic flavors, add these last. Christmas in September On the culinary radar of trendy gastronomes is the Christmas Lima, perhaps because of its festive maroon color and decorative swirl designs. These lively limas also known as Chestnut Beans for their nutty, full-bodied flavor originated in the southwest-
ern United States nearly 200 years ago. Going stronger than ever, Christmas Limas dial-up minestrone soup, succotash of corn, roasted peppers and caramelized onions, and mixed bean chili, while making a healthier alternative for garlic mashed potatoes swapping out the spuds for the limas. My final contribution is a farro risotto to enliven autumn’s table and bored taste buds. For additional fall recipes email kitchenshrink@san.rr. com.

pendent film at its highest level.” A VIP cocktail reception with Van Sant will be at 5 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 27 at MCASD, followed by a 30-minute film retrospective and “Good Will Hunting” at 7 p.m. in Sherwood Auditorium. Tickets to the cocktail reception are $125, or admission is free with purchase of a VIP pass. Leap said festival organizers envision the SDFF evolving into “Toronto West.” The Toronto International Film Festival (held this year Sept. 6-16) draws about 200,000 attendees — numbers Leap feels SDFF could eventually achieve, given the city’s proximity to Hollywood, as well as its plethora of hotels, restaurants and attractions. The SDFF board consulted Sundance Film Festival organizers, as well as those with festivals in Toronto, Tribeca, Napa, Aspen, Palm Springs and Santa Barbara to gain insight on growing SDFF from last year’s attendance of 8,000 to an internationally acclaimed festival drawing 100,000 film lovers.
Leap said the SDFF board is anticipating 25,000 attendees this year. “Palm Springs does 120,000 people and Santa Barbara does 80,000. There’s no reason that we can’t do at least that,” he said. More La Jolla film screenings Another La Jolla highlight is Dustin Hoffman’s “Quartet,” 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 29 in Sherwood Auditorium. The film, which received rave reviews earlier this month at the Toronto International Film Festival, chronicles the residents of a home for retired opera singers. Though Hoffman will be in Spain during the festival, his son, Jake Hoffman, also makes his directorial debut at SDFF, with the short film “Please, Alfonso.” It screens 7:30 p.m. Sept. 28 at Reading Theater. “His film was spot-on, just wonderful and charming,” said Del Mar-based filmmaker and SDFF board Vice-president Tonya Mantooth. “It was one of the standouts for me.” Another film that rose to the top for Mantooth was the thriller “Red Line.” Directed by former San Diegan Robert Kirbyson, it follows a group of Los Angeles
subway passengers in the wake of a subterranean bomb attack. “He filmed it in San Diego and used San Diego crews,” Mantooth said. “It has fabulous production values. … This truly is an independent filmmaker who worked on an obviously tight budget and really brought a lot to the screen.” “Red Line” screens 6 p.m. Sept. 29 in San Diego and at 5:30 p.m. Sept. 30 in La Jolla. Close to 100 film aficionados and a final jury of industry professionals viewed submissions from 57 countries, including Turkey, Brazil, Japan and Palestine. “We had some great foreign films,” Mantooth said. “That was probably one of the toughest categories to pare down, but we have wonderful international representation.” Though submissions had to be produced in 2011, a few exceptions were made for films with particular gravitas, Mantooth said, including 2009’s “The Courageous Heart of Irena Sendler,” starring Academy Award-winning actress Anna Paquin (“The Piano,” “True Blood”).

Plans are being developed for a series of informal educational forums, taught by Marjanovich, for agents wishing to learn how to avoid the most common real estate transaction obstacles in todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s market. Marjanovich and her team of escrow executives are known for their vast experience with complex escrows resulting from working successfully through the different turns in the market. This has broadened their horizon of knowledge in creative transactions. The Case Escrow team has executive experience in title as well as escrow. Caseâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s escrow officers have multifaceted backgrounds including resale (financing, seller carry backs, formal assumptions, subject to and all cash transactions), condo conversions, subdivisions and commercial transactions as well as exchanges. They are also experts at short sales, REO and Exchange/Reverse Exchange transactions. Case Escrow understands the true commitment to customer service that is needed in order to succeed and excel in a very competitive industry. As Marjanovich says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The motto on which Case was built is to be proactive, not reactive and it is this philosophy that has brought us much success in all aspects of the business.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;At Case, every client is important to

Although much business is done through the Internet these days, for those that enjoy a face-to-face personal meeting, there is a convenient reserved parking area just behind the striking architecturally-designed building and a cup of gourmet coffee offered to them. The calm interior and ocean views create a pleasant environment for agents and clients alike. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We, at Case Escrow believe that each real estate transaction has its own personality. There are a multitude of transaction variables and property characteristics; including title, financing, condition, legalities and just as many variables in the business style and mindset of the agent community and their clients. This is why we handle each escrow on a case by case basis.â&#x20AC;? said Marjanovich.
