BY KAREN BILLING At the Sept. 25 Del Mar Union School District board meeting it was a mere footnote that district students earned an 955 Academic Performance Index (API) score based on their 2012-13 STAR testing. “Truly last year the message we gave teachers is that the 1997 standards (that the STAR test is based upon) no longer exist,” said Shelley Peterson, assistant superintendent of instruction. “The expectation is a focus on the Common Core standards.” The STAR test sunsets in July of 2014 and right now the district, as well as all others in the state and nation, are in the midst of the transition to the Common Core standards that schools will be held accountable for in the 2014-15 school year. With new standards come new assessments. Assembly Bill 484, the bill to overhaul the state’s standardized testing system with new tests aligned with Common Core, passed on the Senate floor on Sept. 11 and is on its way to Governor Jerry Brown’s desk. Should it be signed, the Measurement of Academic Performance and Progress (MAPP) would replace STAR in 2014-15. Once that change is enacted, API will no longer be calculated. There will be a gap where there will be no pupil-level data as The Smarter Balance Assessment Consortium is preparing the new assessment tests. Field tests will be given in spring 2014 with the first official administering of the MAPP in spring 2015. See STANDARDS, Page 6

Solana Beach City Council approves mixed-use development project BY KRISTINA HOUCK With no public comments, the Solana Beach City Council on Sept. 25 unanimously approved a mixed-use development project on North Cedros Avenue. The plan proposes the construction of four structures on the 20,216-square-foot property at 238 N. Cedros. A nearly 3,885-square-foot two-story building would include retail space on the first floor and office space on the second floor. The other buildings would be a roughly 593-squarefoot boathouse and two, two-story detached single-family homes, each with about 2,209 square feet of living space and a two-car garage. Currently, a vacant 1,565-sqaure-foot one-story family home with a garage and additional covered parking space, as well as a storage building, sits on the west portion of the property, which is near Solana Beach restaurant, Claire’s on Cedros. The structures will be demolished for construction of the nearly 33-foot-high retail and office building, as well as the 25-foot-high boathouse. There will also be 14 parking spaces. Currently vacant, the east portion of the property will feature two 25-foot-high homes with attached two-car garages and two uncovered guest parking spaces. Solana Beach resident and project builder Terry Wardell said he wanted to build a project that he and his family would be proud to drive by every day. Wardell, who noted he lives a couple blocks away from the project site, said it was important he and co-applicant Doug Sheres made sure the project is sustainable. Wardell and project manager Rob Quigley, the architect who also designed the Solana Beach train station, explained the project includes solar collectors, water retention systems, See PLAN, Page 6

Fall race meet likely coming to Del Mar Fairgrounds BY JOE TASH The Del Mar Fairgrounds is one step closer to hosting a fall horse-racing meet for the first time since 1967. Gov. Jerry Brown signed legislation Sept. 30 authorizing the fairgrounds to host a fall race meet beginning in 2014. The decision also could open the door for the Del Mar track to host the Breeder’s Cup, a prestigious annual horse racing event. The bill, AB 1074 by Assemblywoman Toni Atkins, DSan Diego, affirms a decision approving the additional race meet made earlier by the California Horse Racing Board, said Adam Day, president of the board of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the state-owned fairgrounds. The fairgrounds — and the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, which actually runs the current summer race meet at the venue — still must receive approval of the California Coastal Commission before the new fall race meet can be added to the schedule. The Coastal Commission is tentatively set to consider a permit for the fall race meet as part of a larger permit for fairgrounds operations at its November meeting in Newport Beach. This winter, the fairgrounds and Thoroughbred Club are widening the racetrack’s turf course to allow more horses to race at one time, which would also be required to lure the Breeder’s Cup. The proposed dates for the 2014 fall race meet are Nov. 5 through Dec. 7. The current summer race meet runs from late July through early September.
CV planning board votes against Via de la Valle widening project BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board decided to take a stand against the Via de la Valle widening, voting 9-2 against the project as proposed at its Sept. 26 meeting. The widening of Via de la Valle from two to four lanes from San Andres to El Camino Real is a project about 10 years in the making. “I’m going to support the motion even though I was part of the task force that championed that road,” said Frisco White, planning board chair. White said he had never been in favor of a fourlane road, but worked with the task force years ago to get the road as narrow as possible through the sensi-

tive riverpark area. In light of the concerns expressed by Del Mar Horsepark users and businesses adjacent to the road, he decided to support the motion to recommend rejection of the project as it stands. The planning board’s vote is advisory and the project is next expected to go before the city planning commission by November or December. Proponents and opponents of the widening will have the opportunity to have their voices heard at the commission level. Should it be approved, the road would be about two years away from the beginning of construction, with a year tagged for Coastal Commission approvals and a year on engiSee PROJECT, Page 19

California Coastal Commission to consider approval of coastal development permits for operations at the DM Fairgrounds BY JOE TASH The California Coastal Commission will soon consider whether to approve a pair of coastal development permits for operations at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, which could finally resolve legal disputes between two sister state agencies that date back for more than two decades. The permit applications submitted by the 22nd District Agricultural Association, the entity that runs the state-owned fairgrounds, arose from an agreement reached last year between the Coastal Commission and the 22nd DAA. The agreement contains two major components: One is a compromise calling for the 22nd DAA to restore its south overflow lot — a 9.5-acre parcel along the San Dieguito River used for parking during the fair and horse racing meets — to wetlands habitat. In exchange, the fairgrounds will be allowed to continue using its east overflow lot near Interstate 5 for parking, seasonal pumpkin and Christmas tree sales, and other activities. The commission will consider this permit at its meeting on Oct. 11 at the
Crowne Plaza Hotel in San Diego. The second permit involves activities and projects on the main fairgrounds property, bringing all fairgrounds events into compliance with the California Coastal Act. That permit is tentatively scheduled for the commission’s November meeting in Newport Beach. The second permit application also contains a request for a fall horse racing meet starting in November 2014, which would be in addition to the current summer race meet. On Friday (Sept. 27), Coastal Commission staff posted its report for the Oct. 11 meeting, in which it recommends approval of the first permit involving the south and east overflow lots. The report said the use of fill in the east overflow lot violates the Coastal Act policy of protecting wetlands, but denial of the permit would also have negative effects. For example, said the report, the 22nd DAA would not be required to restore the south overflow lot. “As there are no less impactful feasible alternatives,
the Commission, utilizing conflict resolution, finds that on balance, approval of the permit as conditioned represents the greatest protection of coastal resources,” concluded the report. 22nd DAA board president Adam Day said the permit applications are intended to finally resolve bad blood and acrimony between the two state agencies that had simmered for decades. Efforts to reach a compromise over alleged Coastal Act violations by the fairgrounds began in earnest after a slate of new 22nd DAA board members was appointed by Gov. Jerry Brown in 2011, and Day was elected board president. Day worked with board member David Watson, a land-use attorney, on negotiating the settlement. “Everything we’re asking the Coastal Commission to do is completely consistent with the settlement agreement that we have with them,” said Day. “We need these permits to continue to operate our yearround activities as well as to host a fall (horse racing)

Del Mar school board approves adoption of the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District board approved the adoption of the California Uniform Public Construction Cost Accounting Act (CUPCCAA) at its Sept. 25 meeting in a 3-1 vote. The resolution allows construction projects to start sooner as a result of an expedited award process, reduces the amount of formal bids and provides for effective contractor selection through a prequalification process. Doug Perkins voted against the resolution. “I think it may end up being a good thing but I have too many questions,” said Perkins, who was concerned that once the district adopted CUPCCAA they can’t go through a normal bid process. Brenda Gachuz-Heskett, the district’s business services coordinator, said not having to go through the formal bid process
will be helpful in many cases, especially when unexpected problems arise, such as Carmel Del Mar’s sewer line repair last year. “For smaller school districts and limited staff it really makes projects start and be completed faster,” said Gachuz-Heskett. The CUPCCAA program was created in 1983 to provide public agencies the option to utilize higher bid limits and to complete public works projects in a time-efficient manner. Gachuz-Heskett said many California public agencies have adopted the act, including 194 cities, among them Del Mar, 37 counties and 289 school districts, including Cardiff School District. With CUPCCAA, the district would maintain a list of registered contractors identified by categories of work. A notice would be sent to all construction trade journals inviting licensed contractors to submit their firms for inclusion on the district’s list. See BOARD, page 6
New principal hired for Del Mar Hills Academy BY KAREN BILLING The Del Mar Union School District has named former district teacher Julie Lerner as the new principal of Del Mar Hills Academy. Lerner replaces Carrie Gammel, who resigned in early September. “Ms. Lerner is excited to rejoin the DMUSD team and the wonderful Del Mar Hills community,” the district said in a press release. Patty Arendt has been serving as the interim principal and will remain at the school until Lerner takes over. Since 2007, Lerner has been the principal at Midland Elementary School in the Poway Unified School District. Lerner had been a first grade teacher at Ashley Falls
School and was the assistant principal at Sage Canyon School before leaving to become the principal at Midland. Lerner has been in education for 20 years, beginning her career in Silver Springs, Md., where she taught kindergarten through second grade from 1993 to 2000. She then served as a staff development teacher for five years before coming to DMUSD. “Ms. Lerner is described as a passionate, vibrant and talented educator and leader,” the district said in a recent press release. “We are eager to welcome her in her new principal position in Del Mar in the very near future.”

Legal battle over the Mount Soledad cross basis for new novel
Author Robert LaCosta Courtesy photo said. The book also has a Rancho Santa Fe connection, in the character of a young attorney who works for the city of San Diego and defends the veterans’ position. The attorney’s father bears a resemblance to Charles LiMandri, a Rancho Santa Fe attorney who has worked in court, with legislators and the political arena in an effort to save the cross, LaCosta said. LiMandri said the book is a “good read,” and al-
though LaCosta does take some “poetic license” with the story, he captured the essence of the legal case. “I think he does a nice job kind of summarizing the long and involved history of the cross, particularly the litigation concerning the cross. The way he presents the litigation is accurate and understandable,” LiMandri said. LiMandri said he expects the case to eventually come back before the U.S. Supreme Court, and it could be a springboard for deciding a range of similar cases, such as disputes over displays of nativity scenes at Christmas-time. “I think they’re waiting for this case,” LiMandri said. LaCosta has also written a screenplay of the novel, which he hopes to see made into a film. One aspect of the story that fascinated LaCosta was the way a symbol that had been accepted by the community for so many years suddenly came under fire. The Mount Soledad cross was put up in 1954, and existed without controversy for more than three decades. “That’s why a guy from New York got so entrenched in this thing,” he said.
San Diego’s large population of active-duty and retired military may be one reason why the fight has gone on so long, he said, and that in another place, the cross might have been taken down years ago. “I’d like to see San Diego portrayed as city that stood its ground… it’s a great place that loves veterans,” LaCosta said. The title of the book refers to Rabbi Gamaliel, a first-century teacher of Jew-
ish law. In the New Testament, Gamaliel intervened on behalf of the apostles of Jesus when they had been seized and brought before the Sanhedrin, the supreme Jewish court. “Gamaliel’s Advice” is LaCosta’s third book. Now a full-time writer, LaCosta worked for years in the hearing aid business, building up a chain of offices where clients were fitted with hearing devices. He has since sold the business.
Two new businesses open at Del Mar Highlands Town Center Del Mar Highlands Town Center welcomed two new businesses in September: Which Wich Superior Sandwiches opened on Sept. 11 and Unleashed by Petco took over for Pet People on Sept. 25. Which Wich, part of a Texas-based national chain, offers more than 50 varieties of customizable “wiches” from the signature Wicked loaded with five meats and three cheeses to vegetarian options and wiches less than 400 calories. The shop has a unique ordering system where guests use red Sharpies to mark up a menu on a sandwich bag to customize their wich to their exact specifications. Guests are welcome to draw on their bags after they’ve finished their wiches and hang their artwork on the community wall. Which Wich is located by Rubio’s and Jamba Juice. Petco acquired all of San Diego’s Pet People chain stores last year and has turned 10 into its Unleashed by Petco brand. The first Unleashed opened in Hillcrest in 2009. The store aims to offer the same knowledge and products as Petco, but in a unique, smaller package.

BY JOE TASH To Robert LaCosta, the 24-year legal battle over the Mount Soledad cross includes many dramatic elements, from tension between generations, to disputes over the treatment of religious symbols, to respect for those who served in the military and died in battle. After working on the story for 15 years, earlier this summer LaCosta published his novel about the long-running court case, called “Gamaliel’s Advice: Taking Down God.” The book was published by Thomas Nelson, and is available in bookstores and online. LaCosta, 57, a resident of Albany, New York, is a frequent visitor to San Diego to visit his brother, Paul, and his family, who live in Scripps Ranch. He has often enjoyed visiting the cross atop Mount Soledad in La Jolla to admire the view and the peaceful setting. When he found out that some in the community wanted to take it down, he said, “I was shocked.” He said he understands the viewpoint of those who say they’re not against religious freedom, but simply oppose religious symbols on public land (when the legal battle began, the cross was on property owned by the city of San Diego). “The trouble with that thinking is there are a lot of people who believe that particular symbol is intertwined with military sacrifice. So it’s not quite that simple,” LaCosta said in a telephone interview. “It’s almost like two trees growing together, you cut one and you cut the other,” he said. The original lawsuit was filed in 1989 by Philip Paulson, a Vietnam veteran and atheist. Veterans groups opposed efforts to take down the cross, and the case gained national attention as it worked its way through the courts. Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court declined to hear the case, sending it back to the District Court in San Diego. A hearing is scheduled before U.S. District Judge Larry Burns on Oct. 15, said LaCosta. LaCosta’s book focuses on two main characters, a World War II veteran who is determined to save the cross, and his granddaughter. At times, the granddaughter — who is based on LaCosta’s niece, a Marine pilot — must endure teasing from her peers over her family’s involvement in the case, LaCosta

Trader Joe’s coming to The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch in Carmel Valley BY KAREN BILLING Trader Joe’s is now coming to The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch. The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch Developer Tom Blake said they hope to begin grading for their 24-acre mixed use residential and retail village center on the site at Carmel Valley Road and Village Center Loop Road by December of this year. “We’re very excited about this project and very proud of it,” said Blake, noting city staff has been very receptive of their plan and sees it as a model for other mixed use projects down the line. The announcement on the center’s first tenant was made at the Sept. 26 Carmel Valley Community Planning Board meeting, where the board approved amended plans for the village — the board previously approved the project in January. The amendments were mostly “small refinements” to the commercial/retail element, Blake said, such as changing the color scheme from various colors to white and cream buildings in the Santa Barbara-style, and creating an identity for Pacific Highlands Ranch with an arched sign that would span the entry of the project, at its height about 20 feet tall. “I think it will be stunning,” board member Nancy Novak said of the new color scheme and materials. The Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch site, which is located across from Canyon Crest Academy, will feature 155,000 square feet of retail with a mix of shops and restaurants, a unique plaza gathering space, wide pedestrian-friendly sidewalks and 331 residential units. “We have tremendous interest from national and local tenants,” Blake said, noting many of them are restaurants. Blake said they are in discussions with a drug store, which would be located next to the Trader Joe’s, and Blake hopes that, together, the uses would fulfill the community’s need for See JOE’S, page 19

STANDARDS continued from page 1 The U.S. Department of Education has objected to California’s gap in testing and has said the state could face sanctions and see funding withheld. Peterson said should there be withheld funding, it could impact DMUSD slightly but not as much as schools that receive more federal funding. “There’s a strong belief that the government is not going to withhold money,� district superintendent Holly McClurg said. The new MAPP tests will be given to grades 3-8 and 11. Science assessments will also be given to grades 5, 8 and 10. Peterson said the DMUSD will take field tests in the spring in one subject test area. Students in grades 3 through 6 will take ELA (English Language Arts) or math tests, but not both. On Sept. 19, the San Dieguito Union High School District board held a special workshop looking at sample questions from the practice Smarter Balance assessment MAPP test. The MAPP test will be computerized and asks students for a completely different level of thinking and
analyzing, things that did not exist on STAR tests, according to Michael Grove, associate superintendent of educational services. For example a science reading may be used for an English language arts question or some questions require written answers that have several possible answers that receive a different amount of points. The tests reflect a broader depth of knowledge required by the Common Core, asking students to critique, support ideas with details and examples, develop a logical argument, hypothesize, construct, apply concepts to solve non-routine problems, create, investigate and prove. “The root of what this is... is integrating, synthesizing and analyzing evenly across [subject areas],� Superintendent Rick Schmitt said. Grove said questions take math learned in September, March and December and apply that knowledge to a certain problem when students are used to learning one unit, being tested on it and moving on. Diegueno Middle School was selected for a field testing assessment earlier in the year and the district held a focus group with students to find out what
they thought of the test. Grove said the students had few problems with the technical part of it and that the kids knew how to do the math— once they figured out what the question was asking them to do. Parts of the MAPP also include an hour performance task for students and teacher. Written answers are scored by a centralized system similar to Advanced Placement tests. Trustee Joyce Dalessandro wondered how dropping a seventh grader in front of this new kind of test will reflect on the student or the school. “The reality is they haven’t been held accountable for this type of thinking and learning,� Grove said. He said it may be a “rude awakening� for students who have found a way to be successful in the old system. To that end, they won’t be able to compare STAR test results with MAPP test results. The first year will be a benchmark for growth. Grove believes that the MAPP tests represent a vast improvement over the old assessments as they measure student learning though multiple modes rather than just pure multiple choice which emphasize recall. Both districts know that keeping parents informed is an important step in the tran-
sition. As an example, a state that has faced a lot of backlash over Common Core rollout is New York, where Peterson said districts made the transition without explaining the new system to parents, leaving them confused. “The more public communication the better,� Peterson said, noting Del Mar has 26 presentations scheduled between October and December on Common Core and the new standardsbased report cards.
PLAN continued from page 1 electric car chargers, threeway and dimmable lighting, LED lighting, a day lighting system, dual flush toilets and other sustainable features. Councilman Peter Zahn commended the applicants on reaching out to community members and including sustainable elements in the project plans. “I think it’s great. We received a lot of comments and I think all of them were favorable — many enthusiastic from immediate neighbors, as well as people throughout the community,� Zahn said. “You guys obviously put a lot of thought into this.�

continued from page 2 The district can prequalify those contractors. Currently, public works projects of $15,000 or more must go through a formal bid process which requires advertising in a local newspaper for two weeks and prebid conferences or meetings before a bid is awarded via board approval. With CUPCCAA, public works projects of $45,000 or less would be able to be awarded with a negotiated contract or purchase order. Although he voted in favor of the resolution, board president Doug Rafner expressed some concerns about the appearance of favoritism for projects that fall under the $45,000 thresh-
Projects $175,000 or less would go through an informal bidding process and those more than $175,000 would go through the formal bidding process. With informal bids, all registered contractors on the list will be noticed and they have 10 days to submit a bid. The board can delegate the authority to award informal contracts to the superintendent or staff. With the formal bid process, bids must meet standard bids but an advertisement is made at least 14 days prior to opening of bids and a 15-day notice sent to all contractors on the list, mandated trade journals or both.

Rehab United strives to help people walk, ride or run to find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis BY KAREN BILLING With his sports medicine and physical therapy practice, Rehab United Co-founder and President Bryan Hill has made it a mission to help people walk, ride or run to find a cure for Multiple Sclerosis. Hill is a participant and head coach for the Bike MS Bay to Bay Tour on Oct. 19 and 20, as well as the coach for MS Rockstars, whose members just began training to race the Rock n’ Roll Marathon and Half Marathon in Arizona in January. Additionally, Hill developed a training plan and helped coach walkers in the MS Society’s 50-mile, 3-day Challenge Walk that came through Del Mar last Friday and Saturday. The walk raised $741,562. Hill was out during the three-day walk cheering people on. “To me the most rewarding thing is to listen to the people you’re impacting,” Hill said. “At these events people who have MS talk to you about how much they appreciate what you’re doing. It [means more] if you get to see families really touched by it.” Rehab United specializes in physical therapy, massage, nutrition and personal training. Physical therapy is its dominant service, from treating patients post-operation to simple injuries. Hill, a former professional soccer player, started Rehab United with his brother Sean. The pair made it their personal goal to open their own practice in 1991 after Bryan broke his leg in a soccer game and required extensive surgery and physical therapy. Sean worked with him through his injury in the hospital and they both decided they wanted to be physical therapists. Their dream of opening their own practice came true 12 years and one day after Bryan’s injury, in 2003. They celebrated their 10th anniversary in August. Carmel Valley (RU2) is one of three Rehab United locations, the branch in Kearny Mesa was their first to open and they also have one in La Mesa (RU3). They recently started their own foundation, the Fit For Life Foundation, that promotes a healthy environment for kids and has a goal to empower and uplift kids to make positive and healthy choices.
Rehab United’s Bryan Hill (left) is the head coach for Bike MS and MS Rockstars. Rehab United first got involved with the National MS Society’s Pacific Coast Chapter about nine years ago. The company was looking for a way to give back and selected MS as their charity as several of their patients had MS, a disease of the central nervous system which interrupts the flow of information between the brain and the body and can keep people from moving. The first Bike MS team had six members. Now they have six teams, about 40 members combined taking part in the Bike MS Bay to Bay Tour. Bike MS is a one-to-two-day bike tour where cyclists can opt to do 15 to 25 miles in one day or 100 and 150 miles in two days. For the walk, bike ride and running groups, Rehab United develops training plans for the various events and hosts group workouts. All of the groups fundraise for the MS Society. “We’ll do anything to raise money,” said Hill, admitting the men once dressed in women’s underwear and rode the mechanical bull at the Double Duece in downtown San Diego.
“To embarrass yourself for the right reasons is OK.” Rehab United’s next fundraising event for Bike MS will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 8, from 6-9 p.m. at Culture Brewing Company in Solana Beach. “I’m really excited about working with the MS Society and building national recognition for the disease,” said Hill, noting that more recognition can lead to more funds for research and for a potential cure. “I wish it didn’t exist but because it does the goal for me is to make sure people are aware of it…People still don’t want to talk about MS, they can work somewhere for seven years without telling anyone that they have it. I want people to be comfortable to tell others that they have it and know that there’s people out there supporting their cause. We’re trying to put a stop to it, put an end to it.” People can still sign up to participate in the MS Rockstars for the January marathon or half marathon as training has just begun. People can also donate to Rehab United’s Bike MS team. For more information, visit rehabunited.com.

Local best-selling author to speak and teach Canyon Crest Academy Foundation to hold ‘Meet at Annual La Jolla Writers Conference BY KRISTINA HOUCK As a New York Times best-selling author, Christopher Reich knows how to write a compelling story. That’s why the Rancho Santa Fe resident was once again asked to speak and teach at the La Jolla Writers Conference Nov. 1-3 at Paradise Point Resort & Spa in San Diego. “Giving back is what it’s all about,” Reich said. “Being a writer is a solitary profession, so you’re alone in a room for hours a day. There’s nothing more fun than being with a group of individuals who share the same passion, have the same skill set and aspire to the same goal as you do.” A former investment banker, Reich writes international espionage thrillers. He has authored nine books, and his latest, “The Prince of Risk,” is available on Dec. 2. The financial thriller is set in Wall Street, London and Shanghai. As one of three keynote speakers, Reich plans to talk about how to write exciting thrillers and keep readers satisfied. He is also holding read and critique sessions.
Author Christopher Reich “I love speaking to aspiring authors and published authors,” Reich said. “The La Jolla Writers Conference is the best run, most enjoyable, most educational writers conference I’ve ever taken part in.” In addition to Reich, the 13th annual conference will feature New York Times best-selling authors Dale Brown and Lisa Jackson as keynote speakers. From how to get stared to how to get published, authors Nancy Bush, Lissa Price and Joseph Wambaugh, along with agents, publishers, publicists, editors and screenwriters will also share their knowledge about the art, craft and business of writing. “We don’t put our people on a panel,” said conference founder Antoinette Kuritz, a literary publicist. “Our authors, agents and publishers actually do workshops where your work is exposed to them. It’s a rare opportunity to get up close and personal with these people.” The three-day program features lectures and workshops from almost 25 faculty members. Intended for writers at all levels and limited to 200 attendees, the conference offers
small classes, accessible faculty, the sense of community and networking. “Our faculty is extraordinary accessible. I choose them for their knowledge, their ability to imprint that knowledge — because not everybody can teach — and their generosity in doing so,” said Kuritz, who noted all faculty members volunteer their time. “I want people to come to this conference because they want to be there, they want to share their knowledge and they want to connect with aspiring authors.” The La Jolla Writers Conference is set for Nov. 1-3 at Paradise Point Resort & Spa, 1404 Vacation Road, San Diego. Registration costs $385. “As a writer, everyone will tell you, you cannot do it,” Reich said. “You have to just keep at it and never give up.” For more information or to register, visit www.lajollawritersconference.com.

Experts share knowledge at breast cancer seminar BY KRISTINA HOUCK The National Cancer Institute recommends that women age 40 or older have screening mammograms every one to two years. Although Laurie Lovell was only 39 years old and breast cancer didn’t run in her family, she discovered a lump while performing a breast self-exam. A needle biopsy later confirmed the lump was breast cancer, and a magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, detected a second tumor. Lovell had a double mastectomy, is now undergoing chemotherapy, and will most likely have radiation, breast reconstruction and hormonal treatment. Carmel Valley resident Lynn Flanagan, a breast cancer survivor for more than 16 years, said the outlook for the now 40-year-old is “hopeful” during a breast cancer forum that was dedicated to Lovell, who was unable to attend, on Sept. 18 at St. Therese of Carmel Catholic Church in Carmel Valley. “By doing her own breast exam and requesting an MRI, Laurie probably saved her life,” said Flanagan, whose breast cancer support group, Linked by Lynn, sponsored the event. “Laurie’s case is the classic one, which is of particular interest to our physicians tonight.” Radiologist Dr. Richard Reitherman, surgeon Dr. Michele Carpenter, surgeon Dr. Jane Kakkis and genetic counselor Sandra Brown spoke about early detection and the recurrence of breast cancer. Brown, the manager of the Cancer Genetics Program at St. Joseph Hospital and Mission Hospital in Orange, Calif., talked about the differences in occurrences of cancers, including a sporadic event, a moderate risk and an inherited risk. Most breast cancers are sporadic. That means that every woman has about a 12 percent chance of developing breast cancer, she said. A woman has a 15-30 percent moderate or familial risk of developing breast cancer if she has a history of the disease in her family. A woman could have up to an 85 percent risk if she has a genetic mutation or inherited risk. Genetic counselors, Brown said, can analyze a woman’s

Photos/Kristina Houck having no children or having a first child after age 30, using hormone therapy, among others. Another risk is having dense breast tissue. Like Lovell’s second tumor, many breast cancers do not show up on a mammogram. Breast density can make a developing cancer hard to detect and also increase a woman’s risk. Gov. Jerry Brown in 2012 signed a law that requires health care facilities to notify women categorized as having dense breast tissue
family history, try to make accurate risk assessments, use genetic testing and recommend additional and individualized risk management. She encouraged attendees to talk to a genetic counselor if they are concerned about their family history. “Sometimes women are very afraid to come in because it’s difficult to find out that you carry a mutation,” Brown said. “It is difficult. But knowing is empowering as well. It really does allow us to focus on prevention.” Carpenter noted about 5 to 10 percent of breast cancer cases are thought to be hereditary, meaning that they result directly from mutations inherited from a parent. “Most of us think our risk of getting breast cancer is actually much higher than it truly is,” she said. Other risk factors include being a woman, aging, having a family history of breast cancer, having a personal history of breast cancer, having more menstrual cycles due to starting menstruation early or going through menopause later,

about their condition. The law, which went into effect this year, is designed to improve breast cancer detection and prevention by educating patients about dense breast tissue and how it could conceal possible abnormalities during mammographic procedures. “Women deserve shared decision making and informed consent, and that’s what the dense breast legislation is about,” Reitherman said. Dense breast tissue might be the greatest cancer risk women have never heard of, said Kakkis, who testified before state legislatures on the dense breast legislation, and discussed the new law during the seminar. She thanked patients and survivors like Flanagan for helping educate others about breast cancer. “We’re a team—all of us,” Kakkis said. “We can help decrease the morbidity and mortality of this disease while we’re still trying to find a cure.” Visit www.breastlink. com.

Fundraising event to be held for COTA; benefit will honor local transplant patient â&#x20AC;&#x153;We Got the Beat!â&#x20AC;? is a concert, dinner, and silent auction benefitting Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Organ Transplant Association in honor of Kayla Jane LeMoine, a Carmel Valley child who recently had a heart transplant. The event is planned for Saturday, Oct. 12, from 6:30-10:30 p.m., at Baleen Restaurant, Paradise Point. Kayla was 11 months old when she received a new heart on July 18 at UCLA Medical Center. Funds are being raised to assist with the many transplant-related expenses that are not covered by medical insurance. Enjoy the dinner, shopping the silent auction, and grooving to the hits of classic rock band Backstage Pass. All proceeds from the event will go to assist with transplant-related expenses. The cost of this event is $75 per person if purchased online by Oct. 5, and $100 per person at the door. Kayla was diagnosed with dilated cardiomyopathy at the end of May. The LeMoine Family was told Kayla needed a heart transplant and that usually it takes from six to 12 months to find a donor. They were grateful for the gift of a new heart just a month after Kayla qualified for the transplant list. The LeMoine family needs an estimated $75,000 to pay transplant-related expenses. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The family and friends of Kayla want to encourage everyone to attend â&#x20AC;&#x153;We Got the Beat!â&#x20AC;? and join in this eve-

Experts to hold free informational meetings on children and ADHD
BY JOE TASH Many small children have difficulty paying attention in class at times, and may even be disruptive or misbehave. But if the problem is persistent or severe, it could be a sign of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD. Two local psychologists, Lori Rappaport and Lewis Ribner, are putting on a series of free informational meetings in October to discuss ADHD, how the disorder is diagnosed, and treatment options. The sessions begin at 6:30 p.m. and will be held at the Carmel Valley Library on Oct. 15, the Poway Library on Oct. 16 and the 4S Ranch Library on Oct. 22. Rappaport and Ribner are co-directors of the ADHD Center for Success in Carmel Valley, where they can evaluate children and diagnose their condition, and also develop treatment plans that can include such components as medication, counseling and skills training. According to Rappaport and Ribner, ADHD is a hereditary neurological disorder, which can disrupt a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to concentrate and thrive in school, and can even carry over into adult life.

Some people diagnosed with the disorder have difficulty concentrating or following directions, while others may have a hard time sitting quietly, and act out impulsively. Still others may suffer from both attention deficit and hyperactivity. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important for people to understand that ADHD is really a problem of self-regulation and performance, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not indicative of a lack of intelligence or lack of skills,â&#x20AC;? said Ribner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Somethingâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s getting in the way of being able to use what theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got.â&#x20AC;? Some children are able to compensate for their inability to concentrate when they are younger, but then begin having problems in middle or high school when the demands become greater, the psychologists said. For example, Rappaport said girls often suffer in silence from attention deficit, masking their condition until they are older, when they begin to fail their classes. They werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t diagnosed at a younger age because, â&#x20AC;&#x153;They werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t bothering anyone,â&#x20AC;? she said. School can be particularly difficult for people with ADHD, she said, because they are forced to sit quietly and listen to things they arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t interested in. On the other hand, people with the condition can excel at things they really enjoy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Someone with attention deficit, if they really love something, they can be as good at it as anybody in the world,â&#x20AC;? whether itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s playing video games or working at their job, said Ribner. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you give that person something they

donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like to do, no matter how hard they try they just canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it organized and canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get it done.â&#x20AC;? In children, the disorder can be hard to spot at younger ages, such as 5 or 6, when children in general can be fidgety and moving around a lot. But the difference becomes more apparent at 7 or 8, when children begin to settle down, and one or two hyperactive children tend to stand out more, Rappaport said. During an evaluation, mental health professionals look at how the disorder impacts an individual childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ability to learn in school. Medication often plays a role, Rappaport said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It gives them the ability to focus and have more control over their behavior.â&#x20AC;? Counseling of both the child with ADHD, and his or her family, is also important, said Ribner. The entire family is included because all of the members are likely to be affected, and parents may need guidance on how best to help their children. Therapists may recommend that children with ADHD do their homework in an environment that doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t include such distractions as TV, video games, or smart phones. However, Rappaport noted that in certain cases, stimulation such as music or conversation in a coffee house may actually help a person with ADHD concentrate on their work. In working with clients, the psychologists also attempt to identify other underlying conditions, from mental health issues to learning disorders, that might be interfering with the ability to be effective in school or work. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very complex evaluation, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not just about a diagnosis, but how best to help them and what changes need to be made for them to be successful,â&#x20AC;? Rappaport said. To reserve a spot at one of the informational meetings, send an email to rsvp@sandiegoADHDcenter.com.

Breast cancer gets personal for The Winston School with survivor and teacher leading Walk-a-Thon BY KARIN OLSEN October is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month and students at The Winston School in Del Mar are taking a stand to help find a cure. While itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a national commemoration, the topic is personal for them. In 2007, veteran Winston School teacher Linda Castile was diagnosed with breast cancer and this summer the assistant head of school Mary Sterling-Torretti announced she is battling the disease. Cancer-free for six years, Castile is helping raise money and awareness by leading the Winston students in the schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s annual Breast Cancer Walk-a-Thon on Oct. 4. The school event this year not only kicks off Spirit Month but has also become a rally for the beloved Sterling-Torretti. News of Sterling-Torrettiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s diagnosis has personalized the illness for the students and Castile said she expects this will prompt an even larger turnout. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We generally have about twothirds of the kids participating but expect even more this year because they know about Maryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s situation. We are hoping for 80 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 90 per-
Linda Castile with her daughter Alice Barr (on left). Courtesy photo cent.â&#x20AC;? Castile said the walk not only raises money, but provides an opportunity to teach about tenacity and a positive attitude. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Mary has had a round of chemo and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll have another in three weeks but sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s back at school and doing very well. She will be there to cheer us on. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s important that the kids see that a cancer diagnosis is manageable for the huge majority of us. I want the girls, in particular, to realize that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Oh my God, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m going to dieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; but rather itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something you have to work at and overcome just as I did and Mary is doing.â&#x20AC;? The walk is from 9 - 10 a.m. at the school and the students get credit for each lap around the field with seven laps equaling a mile. Castile said former students Paul Vierson and Dylan Weiss hold the record of 53 laps in one hour and this year they are expecting great things from 12th grade high-speed participant Brian Strobel. She said graduate Desiree Seng holds the record for raising the most money. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fundraising is down since Desiree graduated. She was a go-getter. She had friends and relatives all over the coun-
try and Canada who supported her. Over the six years she was here she raised close to $5,000.â&#x20AC;? Castile said Seng, who now attends Cal State San Marcos, was an honorary development director and the school is anticipating that someone will step up and assume that role again. Building on the awareness and fundraising opportunities for the school, Castile and headmaster Mike Peterson are meeting with a representative for â&#x20AC;&#x153;Making Strides,â&#x20AC;? the American Cancer Societyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s walk for Breast Cancer awareness. They are hoping to organize a team of Winston students and families to participate on Oct. 20 to further show their support for Sterling-Torretti and the cause. Castile is no stranger to cancer awareness walks. She started participating in the 3-Day Breast Cancer walks, first organized by Avon, now by the Susan G. Komen organization, as well as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Race for a Cureâ&#x20AC;? 12 years ago and she hasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t missed it since â&#x20AC;&#x201D; even the year she was fighting the disease. For 11 of those years, her daughter, Alice, walked with her and fellow Winston teacher Amy Spitler accompanied her one year, too. This year another fellow teacher Christie Talbot has stepped up for what Castile calls a sizable commitment. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lot of training, time and sore feet,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are people who do it who are way more inspiring than I could ever be. There are people doing it who are in poor physical shape or just finishing chemotherapy and radiation to people who have lost family and friends and are walking in their honor. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very inspirational.â&#x20AC;?

Castile will miss the 3-Day walk Nov. 15 â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 17 this year due to the birth of her daughterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first baby but she shared insight into what it takes to participate in the endurance event. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One year out you have to get started with a mile, then 3 miles then 5 miles and then keep up the 5-mile walks weekly all year long. By now youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re really upping the mileage to 8, 10, 12 miles.â&#x20AC;? In addition to a dedicated training schedule, Castile said she can offer two insider tips for the beginner. Buy the right shoes and wear double-layered socks. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve never gotten injured or had blisters on our heels.â&#x20AC;? Castile said with all of the training she feels well and is especially mindful of what she eats in order to gain muscle and maintain good energy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m 63 and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve changed my diet to eat more fish and eat less fat and red meat. At my age I would probably make those changes anyway, but breast cancer scares you so you become a bit more diligent in following a better diet.â&#x20AC;? Health and stamina are also helpful in keeping up with her full teaching schedule. This year marks Castileâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 16th year at Winston and sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teaching 7th and 8th grade world history, 11th grade U.S. history, and senior government and economics.

Rozalia Project visits Ocean Air School to teach students how to protect the ocean environment BY KAREN BILLING -It takes six weeks for a piece of paper to dissolve in the ocean and two months for an apple core. Plastic never dissolves but takes over seven years to break down into tiny microplastic pieces. It takes 80 to 200 years for a soda can to dissolve; 450 years for a plastic bottle to break into micro-plastic; and a discarded, durable glass bottle stays intact for one million years in the ocean. Students at Ocean Air School learned about the problem of marine debris and steps they can take to protect the ocean environment during a Sept. 24 visit from the Rozalia Project. “Our goals are to clean the ocean, learn everything we can about the problem of marine debris and inspire people to be part of the solution,” said Rachael Miller, the founder and executive director of Rozalia, an East Coast-based organization. The Rozalia Project visit to Ocean Air was sponsored by Kilroy Realty. Miller told the students about her organization’s adventures in trash-hunting on their sailboat American Promise. They clean up shorelines, collect trash on the surface with drip nets and clean the sea floor using underwater robots (ROVs). Rozalia’s Hector the Collector has found everything in the water from a moonshine jar from the 1800s to a fake mustache; a witch hat at the bottom of a lake and four bikes at the bottom of the ocean last year. Students were excited when Miller used Hector to scan the room, their images appearing on screen the same way the ROV shows their crews trash in the ocean. Students participated in an activity to uncover what the top 10 items are that the ROVs pick up off the sea floor. One student’s guess of false teeth did not crack the top 10. Among the top 10 items are Styrofoam cups/plates/utensils, food wrappers, glass bottles, cans, metal building materials, plastic bottles, plastic bags, plastic sheeting/tape, sunglasses and clothing, and rope. Miller pointed out a common theme among the top items — that they are things that are disposable and used only once. Keeping in mind how long it takes plastic to break up into microplastic and how hard it is to clean up all those little pieces, she said it really does make a difference to pick up trash that is on the shoreline or in the local environment. Miller said 80 percent of debris comes from land through runoff and unexpected weather events can also cause a lot of debris — they fished 2,000 tires out of a river after Hurricane Sandy last year. Besides being ugly, she said trash has an impact on marine mammals, can poison humans through the food chain, and effect tourism and local economies. She said everyone can make a difference by reducing their waste, putting trash in the appropriate place and picking up trash when they see it. “Our goal is to stay optimistic,” Miller said. “We feel that every effort toward a clean ocean makes a difference.” Currently, Kilroy Realty is sponsoring a contest to bring awareness to beach cleaning. People are invited to submit their favorite beach photos via twitter or instagram using @kilroygreen and the hashtag #sdbeachlife through Oct. 15. The winner will receive an ecofriendly designer “My Other Bag” beach tote. To learn more about the Rozalia project, visit rozaliaproject.org.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion
Initiative does not force a special election The city of Solana Beach has been a well managed city for the more than 27 years we have been incorporated. However, the 2008 recession impacted us and budget cuts in excess of $500,000 were implemented. These cuts were not sufficient to continue needed city services and it was necessary to use money from city reserves. Money has been spent only on city projects with the highest critical need and priority while other needs have been set aside until economic conditions improve. This year, with an improvement in economic conditions, it appears there will be a small revenue surplus of approximately $100,000. Given the recent recession history with the necessity of using reserve monies, it is mind-boggling that the City Council would even consider the possibility of spending $200,000 of our tax dollars on an unnecessary special election. Regardless of what you have read or heard, only the City Council can make the decision to call for a special election. The Fletcher Cove Community Center Initiative which has recently been validated by the Registrar of Voters, does not call for a special election. In fact, the proponents of the initiative do not want and have never wanted a special election. That is the very reason the Initiative lays out rules for use which are totally consistent with existing municipal codes. Even if the City decided that they have an extra $200,000 to spend, isn’t there a better use for that money? Wouldn’t it be better spent to help replace the condemned Del Mar Shores stairway to our beach, repair of the Fletcher Cove Lifeguard Station, improve La Colonia Park, repair of pot holes and surface streets, or increase staff salaries that have been more or less frozen since 2008? The budget priorities selected by the City Council, with public review, when they prepared the recent budget, did not include the cost of a special election. It would be fiscally irresponsible to dip into city reserves for an unnecessary special election. The residents of Solana Beach need to fully understand the current situation in the city and share with the City Council their expectations for continued responsible decision-making. Mary Jane Boyd Solana Beach
Urge City Council to adopt Fletcher Cove Community Center Initiative The initiative petition has been filed with and certified by the San Diego County Registrar of Voters. The wishes of over 2,000 Solana Beach registered voters who signed this petition cannot be ignored. This request for a more reasonable use permit at our Fletcher Cove Community Center must now be presented to the City Council — that’s the function of an initiative petition. Remember that numerous City discussions about this use policy for our Fletcher Cove Community Center have been going on for over two years with no reasonable resolution. The lnitiative wording is simple: Authorization of Special Event Permits for Fletcher Cove Community Center: The City of Solana Beach shall make the Fletcher Cove Community Center, and adjacent patio and lawn areas, available for use by Solana Beach residents for meetings, classes, celebrations and other events through the issuance of a special event permit on the following basis: 1. Special Events permits for use of the Fletcher Cove Community Center shall be limited to no more than two of the three days of Friday, Saturday or Sunday. 2.

San Diego charity teams up with university on run to help families battling cancer BY MELISSA MIKULAK There is nothing like the love between a parent and child – and no greater sorrow than losing your child to a terrible disease. My son, Max, was just 3 years old when his health had suddenly declined. Three days after he was admitted to Rady Children’s Hospital, a pediatric oncologist delivered the worst news we could ever imagine: Max had stage 4 neuroblastoma, an aggressive childhood cancer. Max died on Aug. 31, 2008 – two months after he turned 7 and only six days after starting second grade. The cancer overwhelmed his little body, which was already tired from years of aggressive chemotherapy and radiation treatments. Every year, 13,500 children nationwide are diagnosed with childhood cancers; like Max, 1,500 lose their battle. Childhood cancers are the leading cause of death by disease in children under the age of 15 in the United States, killing more children than AIDS, asthma, diabetes, cystic fibrosis and congenital anomalies combined. Despite the overwhelming numbers, just 4 percent of the U.S. federal funding goes to childhood cancer research. The bio-pharmaceutical industry’s investment on research and development for childhood cancers is virtually nonexistent. The experience of watching your child die before your eyes is beyond description, made worse by the fact that so little funding is directed to research. With aching hearts, a commitment to help other families waging similar battles and our own desire to honor our son by “living life to the Max,” we created Max’s Ring of Fire to raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer research. To date, we have helped fund the Neuroblastoma and Medulloblastoma Translational Research Consortium, a new research and clinical trials consortium that developed the world’s first FDA-approved personalized medicine trial for pediatric cancer. This trial is available at Rady Children’s Hospital and 13 other hospitals. Through our support of the consortium, we help to bring forward new, lower-toxicity treatments to children with high-risk cancers. For those facing the same odds as Max, this work is critically important. Now, we are joining together with Grand Canyon University for San Diego’s inaugural Run to Fight Children’s Cancer, a 5k run/walk and one-mile family fun run to raise money for new research and treatments. The race, scheduled for Oct. 26 at NTC Park at Liberty Station, was founded in Phoenix two years ago and has raised nearly $200,000 to help young cancer patients and families in need. I hope you will join me and many other families for this important event. Although Max is apart from us, his spirit is ever-present. Our family, joined by an amazing group of volunteers across San Diego County, continues to work tireless to help kids fighting for their lives. On Oct. 26, we will walk and run alongside other local families and courageous children donning gold capes that signify their fight against this awful disease. With each step we take, we know we’ll be making a positive difference. — Melissa Mikulak is co-founder of San Diego-based Max’s Ring of Fire. The Run to Fight Children’s Cancer will take place at NTC Park at Liberty Station to benefit families in and around Southern California. For details, visit www.runtofightcancer.com
Scripps Research Institute Chemist named MacArthur Fellow Chemist Phil S. Baran of The Scripps Research Institute (TSRI) has won a 2013 MacArthur Fellowship. He will receive a $625,000 fellowship over five years from the John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation. MacArthur Fellowships – sometimes referred to as a “genius grant” – are awarded to individuals who have shown extraordinary originality and dedication in their creative pursuits. “Phil is an extraordinary chemist,” said Michael A. Marletta, president and CEO of TSRI and himself a 1995 recipient of a MacArthur Fellowship. “It is very difficult to transform a mature discipline like chemistry but Phil has done this and done it in a very short period of time.” Baran, age 36, is a professor at TSRI and an alumnus of TSRI’s graduate program. His contributions have been in the area of synthetic organic chemistry, where he has pushed boundaries with innovative solutions to synthetic problems. With members of his team at TSRI, Baran has developed new techniques that dramatically reduce the time, complexity and cost of synthesizing natural products with pharmaceutical potential for conditions including cancer, heart disease and vision loss. — Lynn Friedmann —TSRI news release: http://bit.ly/1eHuf7Q Information on Baran and his lab: http://bit.ly/1h9eDXp MacArthur Foundation profile and video on Baran: http://bit.ly/1apuX4B

meet.” The 22nd DAA is agreeing to undertake a number of steps to protect the environment, such as installing a state-of-the-art storm water runoff system, which would be needed if the fall race meet is approved, said Watson. That’s because the fall meet would take place during San Diego’s rainy season. “This is a really good deal for the environment and a good deal for the fair. And it demonstrates that the fair can operate under the Coastal Act,” Watson said. “What these permits are is the final implementation of the agreement reached in the consent orders. They’re the last steps in what has been a two-year process to resolve all these issues.” But some believe the 22nd DAA should do more to protect sensitive wetlands.

22nd DAA shows that some of the east lot should be designated as wetlands, and the district’s parking study determined off-site locations could handle overflow during fairgrounds events. “By law, I don’t know how the Coastal Commission can approve their application for the (east) overflow lot and not destroy wetlands,” said Roberts. Roberts is also a member of the board of directors of the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority, which oversees a linear park that stretches from Julian to the coast at Del Mar. The JPA board’s official position is that the fairgrounds should not be able to use either overflow lot for parking, except for the east lot during the fair and summer race meet. Roberts said he would like the fairgrounds to compromise with environmentalists by agreeing to use only part of the east overflow lot for parking, and set the most environmentally sensitive portion aside as open space. “My goal is to find consensus, I want to help,” said
2014. “I’m very excited about the project and I’m certainly excited about Trader Joe’s,” said PHR resident Jon Ludwig. “Anytime we can have something we can walk to that we would normally drive to, I’m all for it.” A Trader Joe’s was once in the plans for the proposed One Paseo project. At this time it is no longer a guaranteed anchor tenant for that project.
Roberts. But Day said the agreement has already reduced the fairground’s parking capacity by 20 percent. “We felt the pain at this year’s fair,” he said. The fairgrounds will absorb the loss of parking through aggressive traffic and parking management, such as encouraging visitors and employees to use public transportation and carpooling whenever possible. Setting aside more land from the east lot, he said, would be impractical both financially and in terms of impact on the fairgrounds’ parking capacity, and is not environmentally necessary. Such a requirement would unravel the “finely woven tapestry of competing needs and interests” represented by the agreement with the Coastal Commission. Watson said the east overflow lot does not meet the federal definition of wetlands. Through the agreement, “I think we’ve satisfied all requirements for true wetlands and true marsh,” he said.
PROJECT continued from page 1 neering. The Sept. 26 motion was met with applause from a number of horsepark supporters in the audience. The sole dissenting votes on the board were by members Manjeet Ranu and Steven Ross. “To try and redesign it again, I think it would be somewhat disingenuous to the process,” Ranu said. “It has been a substantial process. [Developer] Black Mountain Ranch [LLC] and the city have been responsive and I’m not sure anymore analysis paralysis is going to get us results.” While she voted in favor of denying the widening, board member Anne Harvey agreed that the developer, city and neighbors have a very long history on this project. “These guys have tried so hard to please us, for us to say now ‘Nah we don’t like it’ sets a bad precedent,” Harvey said. White said although it is true that they have spent a lot of time on the project, the issues with the horsepark are only coming to the forefront now. The developers had been working with the landowners — the 22nd District Agricultural Association — but they hadn’t worked with the trainers who lease and work at the park. The Carmel Valley planning board last saw the widening project at its Aug. 22 meeting, but with a quorum of only nine of the group’s 16 members present, the planning board could not get a passing motion. The project has been in the works since 2003, and was initially submitted to the city in 2005. Dale Greenhalgh, of developer Black Mountain Ranch LLC, said he has been before the Carmel Valley board five times over the last 10 years. Carmel Valley resident Jan Fuchs, who was on the original task force, said they asked several times why the widening was necessary as the road doesn’t go anywhere to the east, stopping after the El Camino Real interchange and continuing as two lanes into Rancho Santa Fe. As Greenhalgh said, the road serves a regional purpose, which is part of the reason why Black Mountain Ranch is contributing funds toward its construction. The existing two-lane road is built for a maximum of 10,000 average daily trips (ADT), but the current volume is almost double that at 17,000 ADTs, according to city traffic engineer Farah Mahzari at last month’s meeting. They are projecting 27,000 ADTs by 2030 and a four-lane road has a capacity for 30,000 so they are hoping that the widened Via de la Valle will be able to carry that capacity to and from the I-5 freeway. If the widening had to be done, Fuchs said the task force worked to ensure that it
would be as narrow as possible through that “rural” area. “It was going to be double the size,” Fuchs said. “Given the choice, we felt good that we changed the whole nature of the road the city was going to build. In terms of sheer size, that was a victory.” As planned, the road will be widened to 60 feet, smaller than the city standard of 84 feet, from curb to curb. There will also be a four-foot-wide median and a new six-footwide bike lane on both sides of the road. The majority of the road will be widened on the south side due to the steep bluffs on the north side. On the south side there will also be a decomposed granite walking path in the parkway, a 10-foot area behind the curb, adjacent to the bike lane. There will also be a new signal with the widening at Via del Canon. At the Aug. 22 meeting, the board advised Greenhalgh to involve horsepark representatives in the process. Since that time, Greenhalgh has met with 14 trainers. “They were clearly concerned with how it will impact their business and they were concerned as horses are more sensitive to traffic than people,” Greenhalgh said. Each of the trainers has an area that they work in and each wanted a wall between the park and the road, however, Greenhalgh said the Coastal Commission has issues with the walls because it is concerned with vistas and driving views. A lot of the comments from horsepark trainers were also about events and maintaining access during the con-
PAGE 19
struction period, Greenhalgh said. He said there are ways to do that with blackout dates with contractors. “There are events constantly,” said resident Ken Farinsky, whose children use the horsepark. “To try and work around them will be next to impossible.” Board member Christian Clews had been the strongest advocate for the horsepark and Via de la Valle-adjacent businesses Mary’s Tack and Feed and All Creatures Animal Hospital, and how they would be negatively affected by a widening that he felt is not needed. “(The traffic) is not that big of a problem,” Clews said. “Don’t endanger our safety, our livelihood and our lifestyle.” Clews said the horses were there first, urbanization happened and it has already been encroached upon. He pointed out that horses are sight and sound animals, and that people of all different skill sets are riding in the horsepark — he said having the road closer to the riding arena — having semi trucks going right by — would not be a good plan. Ross said the word “encroachment” might not be accurate and asked how much land is actually being taken from the horsepark or businesses. Greenhalgh said at maximum, up to 40 feet of land will be taken, but all the work will be done in the right of way. However, as a result, the buildings and horsepark facilities will be much closer to the road.

PGA Major Tour winners Corey Pavin and Jeff Sluman are coming to San Diego and teeing off, with the dogs! On Monday, Nov. 4, the Foundation for Animal Care and Education (FACE) will host its second dog-friendly golf tournament at the Lomas Santa Fe Country Club to raise funds for pets in need of life-saving veterinary care. FACE is a non-profit organization committed to preventing “economic euthanasia” in the San Diego community by providing financial grants for emergency veterinary surgeries and procedures. “FACE is about keeping families together and saving them from the heartbreak of losing a treasured pet,” said Pavin, who was the 2010 Captain of the U.S. Ryder Cup Team. He and Sluman have a combined total of 28 PGA and Champions Tour victories. Both have supported the foundation since its inception in 2006 and will play in the tournament with every foursome. “Knowing that FACE can help animals and pet owners in a time of crisis is so important,” said Sluman. “Anything I can do to help is my pleasure.” After the tournament, players and guests will enjoy dinner, a live auction, and a Q&A session with Pavin and Sluman. Four-legged guests will be pampered and tended to by Pawtopia Dog Training. One-hundred percent of event proceeds will go toward FACE’s mission of saving pets and helping families in need. To date, the foundation has saved the lives of nearly 800 local pets and has granted over $1 million out into the community. “We are a small non-profit with big dreams,” said Stacy Steel, FACE executive director. “We are dedicated to keeping families and their pets together.”

Q&A: Dr. David Smotrich works Canyon Crest Academy celebrates project to make life better for others completion with ‘Track & Turf Field Dedication’
David B. Smotrich, M.D., F.A.C.O.G., is a Diplomate of the American Board of Obstetrics and Gynecology, specializing in reproductive endocrinology and fertility. He has served as an adjunct scientist at the National Institutes of Health in Bethesda, and lectures throughout the world on advanced diagnostic and treatment methods for infertility. He is widely published on the clinical care and treatment of, and basic research in, infertility in both American and international medical journals. Dr. Smotrich is the founder and medical director of La Jolla IVF, which specializes in in-vitro fertilization (IVF), surrogacy and other fertility treatments. He is a staunch supporter of the PEERS Network and its mission to build networks of entrepreneurs who foster local philanthropy and business growth. He is also a long-time supporter of the Challenged Athletes Foundation. In support of athletes with physical disabilities, he has participated in San Diego Triathlon Challenge events, and has ridden 620 miles from San Francisco to San Diego, as part of the organization’s Dodge Million Dollar Challenge. At the fifth annnual PEERS Gala on Sept. 28, Dr. Smotrich was honored for his charitable works. Who or what inspires you? My wife and children are without a doubt the biggest inspirations in my life. They constantly motivate me to work toward making a better life for them and all those around me. If you hosted a dinner party for eight, whom (living or deceased) would you invite? David Ben-Gurion,
Dr. David B. Smotrich Abraham Lincoln, Bill Gates, my wife, Myriam, and our children, Danielle, Ariel and Gabrielle. What are you currently reading? I just finished Daniel Silva’s most recent novel, ”The English Girl.” I picked up one of Silva’s novels about a year ago and found myself so engrossed that I ended up reading the rest of his 15 novels within the year. What is it that you most dislike? I would say those who are closed-minded or prejudiced. I have been fortunate to travel the world – to build hospitals in Uganda, homes in Mexico and to speak about my work in countless other countries, and if there is one thing I have learned, it is that you can never judge someone until you have walked in their shoes. I always encourage my children to keep an open mind and to take in every situation with a positive attitude. What is your mostprized possession? My family. Nothing else would matter without them. What do you do for fun?

BY KAREN BILLING Canyon Crest Academy Ravens athletics squads can finally claim a home field advantage after the dedication of their sparkling new track and athletic field on Friday, Sept. 27. The field is the San Dieguito Union High School District’s (SDUHSD) first major project completed with Proposition AA funds. A ceremony was held for the new ninelane, all-weather track and artificial turf field that was put into use immediately for the Academy Cup, a girls field hockey match between the Ravens and visiting San Dieguito Academy. “Many have been waiting for this day for a long time,” said Jeff Copeland, the school’s vice principal and athletic director. “This facility is absolutely stunning, in fact, it’s probably the best I’ve ever seen.” And it’s only the beginning. Next month, phase two begins on the baseball and softball fields, lacrosse and soccer fields, concession stands and the school’s new stadium. Copeland said the stadium will be completed in time for the beginning of the 2014-15 school year. The class of 2015 will be the first to hold graduation in the new stadium. Altogether, the improvements represent a $20 million undertaking. Eric Dill, associate superintendent, said there were some questions about why so many Prop AA resources were being devoted to CCA, the newest school in the district. He said even though the school is new and is the model vision for what they would like to accomplish in all district schools, the campus was not yet addressing the needs of 800 student athletes and 21 sports teams. “This is what needed to be done to bring CCA in

parity with the rest of our school sites,” Dill said. Parent Karen Dillen, vice president of athletic programs for the CCA Foundation, reflected how in previous years, teams would experience “field envy” when traveling to play at other schools. Canyon Crest’s old field had a “pronounced crown” at the center, which cut off the view of players’ feet and by the end of the season there were dustbowls in front of the goals. There is very little threat of dustbowls now on the turf field. And while, for now, Copeland said students still have to climb to the top of a dirt hill to get a bird’s-eye view to root for the home team, by this time next year they will be sitting comfortably in the new stadium. At the dedication ceremony, appreciation was given to the parents for supporting and contributing to the foundation, as well as for their support of Prop AA. “We’re celebrating what can be created when a community comes together for the greater good,” said SDUHSD Board President Barbara Groth. Groth also gave special recognition to former district superintendent Ken Noah, whom she said was indispensable in taking the big step in even thinking about the possibility of a construction bond.

CCA teen to co-star in ‘Shrek the Musical’ San Diego Symphony’s annual gala and concert to raise funds for music education
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KRISTINA HOUCK As a young child, Samantha Tullie watched the film “Shrek” so many times she memorized almost every line. Beginning Oct. 12, the 15-year-old local resident will co-star in J* Company Youth Theatre’s “Shrek the Musical.” “I just really, really liked to sing when I was little,” said Tullie, a sophomore at Canyon Crest Academy in Carmel Valley. “When I heard things I really liked on the radio or in a movie, I tried to learn it as fast as I could. I would sing it over and over again.” Tullie portrays Dragon, Donkey’s romantic interest. Although the part has no speaking lines, Tullie said she auditioned for the role of Dragon because it features a challenging “Dreamgirls” type song. “It’s a bigger than life part,” Tullie said. “Even though there’s no speaking, it’s really fun. The song is really big.” Tullie began performing at 9 years old. While a majority of her experience has been at La Jolla-based J* Company Youth Theatre, she most recently played Nurse in Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” at San Diego Junior Theatre. Under the direction of J* Company’s Joey Landwehr, some of her favorite roles include Hodel in “Fiddler on the Roof” and Fairy Godmother in “Cinderella.” “Performing is something I’ve always wanted to do,” said Tullie, who has worked with vocal coach Roy Mote and has received acting, vocal and dance training through programs at Broadway/San Diego and Camp Jaycee, La Jolla Playhouse and Interlochen Center for the Arts. “I really like how you can completely become another person and totally embody them. Sometimes they’re just so far off from who you really are, and those are the most fun to perform. I also like how you can just really touch and move the audience when you’re totally into your role.” Directed by Landwehr, “Shrek the Musical” features 72 cast members, 10 youth crew members and four youth orchestra members playing in the pit. Joshua Shtein, 17, plays Shrek, and Sam Brogadir, 15, portrays Donkey on a quest to rescue Princess Fiona, portrayed by 16-year-old Celia Tedde, from her tower guarded by a fire-breathing dragon. “It’s a really talented cast. The costumes are amazing and really, really fun,” said Tullie, who hopes to pursue a ca-

reer as an actress and singer. “Adults and kids will love it! There are a couple of lines only the adults will get, and there are lines that little kids will find absolutely hilarious.” “Shrek the Musical” runs Oct. 12-27 at the David and Dorothea Garfield Theatre at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center at 4126 Executive Drive in La Jolla.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK When music programs are cut in schools throughout San Diego, the San Diego Symphony provides access to music. From free concerts to hands-on workshops, the nonprofit organization reached roughly 65,000 students with its education and outreach programs last year. “With the loss of funding for music education in public schools, it really is up to organizations like the San Diego Symphony to be able to bring the music to the children,” said Megan Pogue, the symphony’s vice president of business development. “We want to keep music education alive and be a great resource in San Diego.” Designed to bring music and music education to thousands of students, programs include the Young Artist Competition, which rewards promising young talent, as well as several outreach programs that allow students to meet musicians and participate in interactive ensemble performances.

Playing an instrument and listening to music has also been shown to increase test scores in children,” said Pogue, who noted Rancho Santa Fe residents and gala chairs Hélène and George Gould hope to raise $1 million during the event. Last year, 200 people attended the concert and raised more than $500,000, Pogue said. Led by Music Director Jahja Ling, OPUS 2013 will fea-

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS
Nature Designs Landscaping beautifies region for 30 years
BY KRISTINA HOUCK With just a truck and a wheelbarrow, Steve Jacobs launched Nature Designs Landscaping in 1983. The 21-yearold college student returned from Cal Poly Pomona to his family home in Escondido every weekend to work. Celebrating 30 years in business, the now Vista-based company has nearly 50 employees. “We stand behind our work,” Jacobs said. “Integrity is really big with me and with our staff. We’re honest and we strive for perfection.” From obtaining permits to developing design plans, Nature Designs Landscaping offers a wide range of services, including landscape design, construction, maintenance and estate services. The company has irrigation and sustainability experts, a certified arborist, and licensed general building, landscape and pool contractors. “We come up with all the solutions to their needs,” said Jacobs, who earned his landscape contractor license in 1988 and expanded it to include pool and spa installation in 2006. Jacobs has enjoyed working outside ever since he was a child. He recalled working in the grove and planting a vegetable garden on his family’s 2-acre property in Escondido when he was young. “Because it was such a big property, I spent every waking minute outside,” said Jacobs, who noted his father, a Bronx native, moved to California to raise a family so his children could play outdoors. After enrolling in a landscaping class in high school, Jacobs decided he wanted to make a living by working outdoors. He went to community college before transferring to Cal Poly Pomona in 1983. While earning a bachelor’s degree in ornamental horticulture as well as a degree in irrigation and drainage design, Jacobs traveled from Pomona to Escon-

The project incorporated a water feature, stonework, pathways, pavilions, plants and trees. If the team didn’t finish in time, the company would be docked $1,500 each addition-
al day. Nature Designs Landscaping finished 10 days early. “It was not a simple project and it was out in the middle of nowhere,” Jacobs said. “But even with all of these challenges, we ended up with an award-winning beautiful project and they had a really nice wedding. It was a great team effort, including the client.” With “Landscapes for Life” as a tagline, Jacobs said he wants his company to continue to have a great reputation for service and quality. “We’re a company that’s going to produce a long-lasting landscape that improves our clients’ quality of life and gives them an outdoor living space,” Jacobs said. “We live in Southern California where people spend a majority of their time outside. We want that to be as fulfilling as possible.” For more information, call 760-945-4321 or visit naturedesigns.net.

From victim to advocate: â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Brave Miss Worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; documentary focuses on one womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey BY KRISTINA HOUCK Just weeks after being brutally attacked and raped, Linor Abargil was crowned Miss World 1998. Since then, Abargil has used the spotlight to be a voice for other victims and fight against sexual violence. Her journey was most recently chronicled in the documentary â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brave Miss World,â&#x20AC;? which makes its Southern California debut Oct. 5 at the San Diego Film Festival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was so riveting and so compelling that I agreed to take the journey with her, not knowing what a whirlwind it would become,â&#x20AC;? said director and producer Cecilia Peck, daughter of the late actor and La Jolla native Gregory Peck. Abargil briefly modeled in Milan after being crowned Miss Israel. Then 18 years old, she became homesick and her modeling agency put her in touch with travel agent Uri Shlomo to book her a flight home. He told her there were no flights available from Milan, but offered to drive her to Rome instead. This began what she describes in the film as â&#x20AC;&#x153;the longest hours of my life.â&#x20AC;? Shlomo tied her up with rope and masking tape, and stabbed and raped her repeatedly. He put a bag over her head and strangled her. Abargil managed to escape, which is detailed in the film. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was so unashamed in speaking about rape. I had never listened to anyone talk about it like that,â&#x20AC;? Peck said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;From the beginning, she said, â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Why should I be ashamed? The fault was his, not mine.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; I realized that that kind of courage and refusal to blame herself or be ashamed could help a lot of other women who might be hiding it or keeping it inside.â&#x20AC;? From South Africa townships to U.S. college campuses, the documentary follows Abargil as she reaches out to other survivors. Although Shlomo was eventually exposed as a serial rapist and received a 16-year conviction, Peck points out that Abargilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s trauma is never far behind her. Her trauma resurfaces during the film when her rapist comes up for parole. â&#x20AC;&#x153;She was constantly triggered by meeting with other survivors,â&#x20AC;? Peck said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It was extremely hard on her. She of-

Courtesy photos ten had to shut down filming and she had to seek emergency therapy, but she always came back and wanted to persevere and continue. That kind of courage was very inspiring to us as filmmakers.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brave Miss World,â&#x20AC;? which took nearly five years to complete, debuted in June at AFI Docs, a documentary film festival by the American Film Institute in Washington, D.C. The film will be screened at a number of other festivals, including the Chicago International Film Festival and the Mumbai Film Festival. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Brave Miss Worldâ&#x20AC;? will be released in Los Angeles and New York theaters in
December, Peck said. The filmâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s team, which is also considering two television broadcast offers, is set to launch an educational and community screening series across the country in January. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The film, to me, is about Linorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s call to action. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also
about one womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s journey from being a teenaged victim of a rape crime to an empowered lawyer and activist,â&#x20AC;? Peck said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the film is full of hope for survival and for healing. It takes a lot of work, but you can go on with your life as long as you seek help. I just hope that message is conveyed.â&#x20AC;? The screening begins at 6 p.m. on Oct. 5 at ArcLight La Jolla, 4425 La Jolla Village Dr. San Diego. A Q&A session with Peck will follow the screening.

Local filmmaker shines spotlight on Parkinson’s disease in documentary •Film will be shown at San Diego Film Festival on Oct. 5 BY ROB LEDONNE “Ride With Larry,” a documentary on Parkinson’s disease premiering Saturday, Oct. 5, as part of the San Diego Film Festival, is the brainchild of a local filmmaker who knows how it impacts people all too well. Local resident Andrew Rubin is hoping to raise more awareness for the disease after he saw its impact on members of his own family. “My dad has Parkinson’s and so did his father and a cousin of mine. It’s something that’s prevalent on his side of the family,” he explained. “What’s really important for us is for people with Parkinson’s to see this film.” The documentary focuses on Larry Smith, a current San Diego resident who has advanced Parkinson’s. However, Smith’s lifestyle is that of an athletic and active man, which isn’t a typical view of the disease. “Larry is probably one of the most advanced Parkinson’s patients you’ll ever meet,” Rubin said. “Personally, it kind of hit me pretty hard. He’s endlessly positive.” The centerpiece of “Ride with Larry” is a 300mile bike ride Larry takes across South Dakota, which Rubin says is part of the most inspiring facet of Larry’s life. “A lot of the time, what happens with patients is that you get a diagnosis and you’re told there’s no cure, which doesn’t give people a lot of hope,” Rubin said. “But then you look at what Larry is doing; his message really resonates beyond the disease. We want to show that this could be anyone’s life who is struggling with the disease.”
PET SPRA ER G BAND UE !
Larry Smith is featured in the documentary “Ride With Larry.” Courtesy photo Along with Rubin, the producers of “Ride With Larry” include industry veteran Stephen Nemeth, along with Josh Haywood, who produced and directed various series for MTV. Rubin explained that when the crew returned from filming in South Dakota, they edited a trailer and held a Kickstarter fundraiser to try to raise additional funds for the movie. “We not only hit our $50,000 goal, but got $63,000,” Rubin said. “At the time, we were the most funded documentary Kickstarter had ever had. The premiere of “Ride With Larry” coincides nicely with the recent NBC premiere of “The Michael J Fox Show,” a sitcom built around the title star’s struggle with Parkinson’s disease. All of the latest news and awareness is only good for people struggling with the disease, said Rubin, who’s trying to shine a spotlight on various Parkinson’s treatments, including medical marijuana (which is highlighted in the film) and exercise. “The more active you are with Parkinson’s, the better you will feel. When you exercise, it produces the same effect as the medication that they’re given,” Rubin said. “It’s not just endorphin’s and weight loss... you’ll end up fighting the disease.” So far, the filmmakers have been showered with positive response over the documentary with its subject matter having a “significant impact” on audiences, not only in San Diego but around the world. Last weekend, it screened at the South Dakota International Film Festival and it’s also been shown at Mexico’s Puebla International Film Festival, the Monterrey International Film Festival and, later this month, will be screened at the Orlando International Film Festival. Throughout it all, Rubin has a simple goal: “For those with Parkinson’s, we want them to be inspired.” “Ride With Larry” will be screened on Saturday, Oct. 5, at 3:30 p.m. at the ArcLight Cinemas in La Jolla. A reception will follow the screening. For more in the San Diego Film Festival, visit www.sdfilmfest.com.
Del Mar Rotary Club’s Chili & Quakers Challenge to be held Oct. 19 The Rotary Club of Del Mar’s annual Chili & Quakers Challenge will be held on Saturday, Oct. 19, from 12-3 p.m. at Powerhouse Park in Del Mar.

For attendees, the event promises fun for everyone with the opportunity to sample a variety of chili made by Del Mar restaurants, residents, charities, and even our local fire-firefighters as they compete to create the best chili in the cook-off. From Foxy Turkey Chili to vegetarian delights to buffalo meat concoctions, you’ll have the chance to vote for your favorite recipe. And there is no fee to come have a good time, soak up the sun and participate in family activities like face painting donated by Pinky’s Big Top Circus and wild hair designs by Vickie Lavanty Hair Salon and plenty of games for the kids. For the adults, a beer and wine garden will be roped off for sipping and socializing along the beautiful Del Mar coastline. The highlight of the day will be the Ducky Derby when over 2,000 rubber ducks will ride the waves and be corralled ashore by the Del Mar Lifeguards. Each duck is numbered and corresponds to a ticket you may purchase to win. Buy as many ducks as you like. The first “quackers” to swim to shore will win prizes for their owners. Cash prizes of $1,000 and $500 go to the first and second place ducks, and $100 for third to seventh. Buy a duck or cheer one on to shore.

Accomplished plastic surgeon provides surgical care to help children in need in Mexico Dennis Bucko, M.D., a San Diego-based board certified plastic surgeon specializes in cosmetic surgery of the face and body, but twice a year he volunteers his reconstructive surgical skills with the Mercy Outreach Surgical Team. M.O.S.T. is a volunteer organization composed of physicians, nurses and members of the community dedicated to providing surgical care to children in greatest need in Mexico. “On M.O.S.T. trips, I see people who are in desperate need of reconstructive surgery, and our being there is the only way they’ll get it. That keeps me going back. It feels good to be able to change someone’s life in just an hour with a simple surgery,” says Dr. Bucko. “You enhance the lives of children and their families, but you also impact the way they interact in their community.” Dr. Bucko recalls a teenage boy on a previous trip who had a cleft lip that had never been repaired. Living in isolation on the outskirts of town, the boy had placed black electrical tape over his lip to hide his deformity. Ideally, the team hopes to reach children while they are still young, just 2 or 3 months old, before they suffer the pain of their abnormality. In some cases, however, those who seek surgery are well into adulthood. In addition to volunteering his surgical expertise, Dr. Bucko is dedicated to raising awareness and financial support for the M.O.S.T. program. He has donated a portion of his surgical fees at his cosmetic surgical center to the program, and has also generated support through his local Rotary Club, La Jolla Golden Triangle. M.O.S.T. works closely with Rotarians in Mexico, so sharing his experiences with his local chapter and facilitating a cross-border relationship with Mexican Rotarians has been rewarding for Dr. Bucko. “Each trip is unique,” says Dr. Bucko. “We never know exactly what kinds of cases will be waiting for us when we arrive in a new community. But when our bus pulls up in front of the local hospital early on that first morning we are always greeted by several hundred peo-

It’s an awesome sight. “Being able to help is a pretty powerful feeling. The response we get…tears of joy and smiles…it’s incredibly rewarding,” says Dr. Bucko. “And, it’s a privilege to be a member of such an amazing team of volunteers, many who pay their own expenses and give up personal vacation time to participate, and who genuinely care about the patients and their results.” Dr. Bucko’s office is located at 3655 Nobel Drive in San Diego.

Award Winning Care in San Diego!
I love running, swimming and pretty much anything related to exercise. I also love traveling with my family. Some of my favorite trips have been to Jerusalem for all three of our kids’ bar and bat mitzvahs, our safari through South Africa, and a peaceful getaway my wife and I recently took to the Maldives. What is your philosophy of life? Tikkun olam, the Hebrew saying “to repair or heal the world.” I have a strong philosophy of giving back, and I feel that every person has a duty to do his or her part to make the world a better place. I truly enjoy working with a variety of nonprofits, like the Challenged Athletes Foundation, to give back and nurture our communities. All of my children have been working with me to support CAF since they were young.
At just 8 years old, my son ran in CAF’s annual San Diego Triathlon Challenge at the La Jolla Cove, and I know running side-by-side with “One Arm” Willie Stewart and hundreds of other challenged athletes, some even younger than he, had a significant impact on him and how he now aspires to live his life. What would be your dream vacation? I recently, and by accident, stumbled across details about an exquisite private jet trip around the world. Three weeks, all the top destinations and accommodations, dining and sights they offer. While I, in part, wish I hadn’t teased myself by learning about the trip (I can’t seem to get it out of my head), the other part of me would love to treat my wife of almost 23 years to a once-in-a-lifetime trip like this – she deserves it. Editor’s Note: The next San Diego Triathlon Challenge/5k/Tour de Cove will take place Oct. 20 at La Jolla Cove. Deatils at www. challengedathletes.org
SYMPHONY continued from page B3 ture pianist Kevin Cole performing American composer and pianist George Gershwin’s “Rhapsody in Blue” with the 84-member San Diego Symphony. OPUS 2013 will begin with a pre-concert cocktail party and dinner soiree at the University Club. Following the concert at Symphony Hall, there will be an after-party with live music, dancing and casino games at the University Club. “For people who haven’t been to the symphony before, a really great
entry point would be to come to the concert and the after-party,” Pogue said. “It’s a great opportunity to dress up and it’s a really fun event.” The gala begins at 6 p.m., followed by the concert at 8 p.m. on Oct. 12 at Copley Symphony Hall and the University Club, 750 B St., San Diego. Concert and after-party tickets cost $250. Full gala tickets start at $1,250 and include valet parking, a cocktail reception, dinner, premium seating at the concert and an after-party at the University Club.

A tribute to National Vegetarian Month The Kitchen Shrink
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vegetarian â&#x20AC;&#x201C; thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an old Indian word meaning lousy hunter.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201D;Andy Rooney BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN If national holidays can be dedicated to sâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;mores and cheese pizza, then they certainly can be reserved for vegetarianism. The world has gone bananas paying tribute to this lifestyle and ethos by designating October as National Vegetarian Awareness Month, and the first day of the month as World Vegetarian Day. In addition, Meatless Mondays was launched as a global campaign to encourage carnivores to kick off the week with vegetarian fare to boost their health along with that of the planet. Let me dangle a carrot, along with some facts about vegetarianism to inform (and perhaps convert) the most die-head meatphiles. Seeds were planted Vegetarianism has its roots in ancient Indian and Greek philosophies. In India the concept arose from the ethos of ahimsa, or humane treatment of animals, while in Greece it was part of ritualistic practices. Pythagoras, the famous Greek philosopher was a pioneer vegetarian, who followed a plantbased diet that was named â&#x20AC;&#x153;The Pythagorean Diet,â&#x20AC;? honoring his contribution until â&#x20AC;&#x153;vegetarianismâ&#x20AC;? was coined in the 19th century. Peas in a pod Vegetarianism is the umbrella term for people who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t eat anything that once walked on two or four legs, had fins, shells or wings although there are varying degrees of dietary restrictions. This group then splinters into sub-cultures for those who incorporate certain animal by-products into their diets. One of the most common groups is the lacto-ovo vegetarian who eats dairy products like milk, cheese and ice cream, along with eggs. The lacto vegetarian eats dairy and no eggs, while the ovo vegetarian eats eggs, but no dairy. Raw food vegetarians eat raw fruits, veggies, nuts
and seeds, and to maintain enzyme integrity, will not cook at temperatures exceeding 118 degrees Fahrenheit. Finally, the purists of the vegetarian family are the vegans who eat a plantbased diet without any animal by-products, which sometimes includes honey. The healthy herbivore A well-balanced, low fat vegetarianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s plate is reminiscent of Ozâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Somewhere over the Rainbowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bursting with colors, mighty antioxidant warriors and phytonutrients. Since the plantbased diet does not contain animal fat, has low cholesterol and high fiber it has been lauded for not only warding off heart disease, but actually treating and reversing it, along with reducing the risk of assorted cancers from breast to colon, high blood pressure, gallstones and diabetes. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more. A mindful vegetarian diet void of saturated fats and processed foods will put the skids on weight gain, while dialing up energy, the immune system and libido, keeping the brain on its toes, your system â&#x20AC;&#x153;regular,â&#x20AC;? and maddening menopausal symptoms at bay. Standing advice applies when shopping for plant-based foods â&#x20AC;&#x201C; where possible, buy organics. Pumping iron While naysayers claim the vegetarian diet is particularly deficient in iron, calcium and protein, you need look no further than beans and legumes, dark leafy greens, fortified whole grains, hemp, sesame and chia seeds, dried apricots and figs, along with quinoa, tofu and almond or soymilks to pump iron, et al. into the vegetarian body. Cool cucumbers Prominent plant-eaters include such notables as Leonardo da Vinci, Mohandas Gandhi, Bill Clinton, Bruce Springsteen, Brad Pitt, Bob Barker, Anne Hathaway, Natalie Portman and Ellen DeGeneres. A vegetarian walks into a sidebar â&#x20AC;˘ A Time Magazine study in 2008 reported that the United States has 7.3 million vegetarian adults or 3.2 percent of the total population. One million of these are vegans. Vegetarian Times reports that 22.3 million adults in this country follow a vegetarian-inclined diet. â&#x20AC;˘ Approximately 8 percent of Californians are plant-eaters. â&#x20AC;˘ Studies show that men who avoid red meat, exude sexier pheromones than their carnivorous counterparts.
â&#x20AC;˘ Benjamin Franklin, a temporary vegetarian, introduced tofu to America in 1770. More than just a bowl of cherries The vegetarian diet does not have to be one of deprivation, most favorite recipes can be easily rejiggered. Middle-eastern cuisine is rife with plant-based delights including hummus and pita chips, tabouli with dried fruits, walnut and pomegranate stew with basmati rice, falafel, babaganoush and other eggplant concoctions. Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t forget the baklava. Have an Italian feast with wild mushroom risotto, pasta e fagioli, eggplant parmigiana and roasted stuffed peppers with lemon orzo. Or do a vegetarian fajita fiesta.
Three Bean Veggie Chili 1 can each of red kidney, navy and black beans (drained) 1 sweet red pepper, diced 1/2 medium red onion, diced 1/2 cup of broccoli florets 2 tablespoons olive oil 2 garlic cloves, diced 2 tablespoons chili powder 1 teaspoon cumin 1 teaspoon oregano 28 ounce jar of pureed tomatoes 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate Sea salt, cracked black pepper and Tabasco sauce to taste In a large skillet, heat oil on medium and sautĂŠ broccoli, peppers, garlic and onions until tender. Add cumin, chili powder, oregano and chocolate, stirring until the liquid becomes thicker. Add tomatoes and beans, and continue to cook on low heat, partially covering until the chili thickens, about 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt, pepper and Tabasco.

Prudential California Realty begins new era as Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties BY JOE TASH Americans are quite familiar with the names of billionaire Warren Buffett, one of the world’s richest men, and his investment company, Berkshire Hathaway. Now, the Berkshire Hathaway name will be even more visible in San Diego County, and throughout Southern California and the central coast, as it will be found on “for sale” signs on luxury properties. As of Monday, Sept. 23, an established California real estate firm has taken on the prestigious company’s name. Prudential California Realty, which has been owned by HomeServices of America, a Berkshire Hathaway subsidiary since 2002, became Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties. The name change and new signage were unveiled Sept. 23 at an event held at one of the company’s listings, a $7.5 million, 11,970-square-foot property on Rancho Del Mar Trail in Carmel Valley. “We’re the first ones to be able to use that brand name in the real estate world. It’s quite an honor,” said David Cabot, president and CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties. “It’s a unique opportunity.” With its headquarters in Carmel Valley, the company has a network of 62 offices and 3,200 agents in Southern California and the Central Coast. Many of those agents have been with the company for a substantial portion of its 20year existence under the Prudential California Realty banner, said Cabot. Attending the Sept. 23 event along with Cabot, agents, clients and community members were Earl Lee, CEO of HSF Affiliates LLC, and Ron Peltier, chairman and CEO of HomeServices. California Properties focuses on the luxury market in such areas as Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar, Carmel Valley, Solana Beach, La Jolla, Newport Beach, Beverly Hills, Pacific Palisades and Brentwood, said Cabot. “We’re primarily a luxury real estate company in Southern California and we have been for two decades,” Cabot said. That reputation includes status as one of the top five real estate brokerages in the nation, according to the company. In 2012, the company closed nearly $11 billion in sales and handled more than 14,000 transactions. The high-end home market has improved substantially over the past 18 to 24 months, along with the overall real estate market, Cabot said. “The luxury market is doing very well,” he said. “The majority of the value lost in the recession has returned in both mid-level houses and high-end houses.” Although the high-end market in Los Angeles recovered more quickly than in San Diego, the local area has since caught up, and is now on par with both Los Angeles and Orange County, Cabot said. Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Realty is a full-service agency that offers — along with its real estate services — home loans, escrow, title and insurance. “We’re a one-stop shopping experience for our clients,” he said. “A client can walk into one of our offices… and they never have to go anywhere else.” Cabot is a 29-year veteran of the California real estate business. He began with Merrill Lynch’s real estate arm, then worked for Coldwell Banker before moving to Prudential, where he served as broker of record, and also as president and CEO. By emphasizing the Berkshire Hathaway name, California Properties taps into a global brand, established by a powerhouse that has holdings in a number of different industries, from insurance to energy to real estate to media. Among the well-known companies that come under the Omaha, Nebraska-based Berkshire Hathaway umbrella are GEICO Auto Insurance, Ben Bridge Jeweler, Dairy Queen and See’s Candies. Cabot stressed that the company will continue to offer the same services with the same staff. “The only significant change is the name on the door,” he said. “Everything else is exactly as it’s always been.” He predicted the real estate community will quickly warm to the new name. California Properties is the first to take on the Berkshire Hathaway name, but the company plans to make similar changes at brokerages across the nation over the next year. Some will be company owned while others will be franchises. “I think it changes the field of real estate forever,” Cabot said. For more information, visit www.bhhscalifornia.com.

California Realty, with headquarters in San Diego and one of the topfive real estate brokerages in the nation, recently became the first company to operate as a member of the new Berkshire Hathaway HomeService network. The brokerage, now doing business as Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties, celebrated the transition with an open house event at one of its exclusive listings attended by agents, clients and community members. The companyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first yard sign was presented during the event with a ribbon cutting by David Cabot, CEO of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties; Ron Peltier, chairman and CEO of HomeServices, which owns the brokerage; and Earl Lee, CEO of HSF Affiliates LLC, which operates Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This is a huge honor for us,â&#x20AC;? said Cabot. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are proud to be Berkshire Hathaway HomeServicesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first affiliate and we will uphold that honor with integrity and excellence. With its worldrenowned name, the brand will resonate extremely well in our luxury, highend and coastal markets and everywhere else.â&#x20AC;? For more, see story on page B25. Photos/McKenzie Images.
