Filner discusses cross-border Olympics plan with Romney BY PAT SHERMAN Mayor Bob Filner met with former Governor Mitt Romney at City Hall May 6 to discuss the City of San Diego’s Olympic bid for the 2024 Summer Games. Mayor Filner announced last month that San Diego and Tijuana would submit a bi-national bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics. The mayor invited Romney to his office last week to ask if the former Republican presidential candidate and Massachusetts governor would lend his advice to the effort, to which Romney said yes. The Mayor and Romney discussed the challenges of a bi-national Olympic bid, as well as the experience Romney gained working as the president and CEO of the Salt Lake City

Solana Beach and Encinitas keep beach sand project alive

■ Cyclist sets off across country to help daughter’s nonprofit. See page B1

BY JOE TASH After more than a decade of study at a cost of $8 million, the future of a massive beach sand replenishment project for North County’s coastline hinged on the support of the Solana Beach and Encinitas city councils on May 8. At separate meetings, both councils unanimously supported the project, meaning that for now, planning can continue. The project would have been dead if either

council had voted against it. If it gains final approval and funding, the project — to be carried out by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers — would involve moving hundreds of thousands of cubic yards of sand onto the beaches of Solana Beach and Encinitas over the next 50 years. “We’re never going to get this opportunity again.

Solana Beach sewer service charge to increase BY JOE TASH Solana Beach’s annual sewer service charge will rise 2.5 percent in the fiscal year that begins on July 1, following a unanimous vote to increase the fee by the City Council on Wednesday, May 8. Also on Wednesday, the council scheduled a June 26 hearing to consider a rate increase for the city’s trash haulers, Coast Waste Management and EDCO Waste and Recycling Services. Both companies have requested increases of 1.9 percent based on the Consumer Price Index. The charge for residential service would increase to $21.08 per month from the current $20.68, and the average commercial rate would increase to $101.04 from $99.15. Based on the council’s action Wednesday, the annual sewer fee for a single family home will rise to $588 per year, up from the current annual charge of $574. The city’s sewage system serves residents of Solana Beach, along with small portions of San Diego and Del Mar. Former Solana Beach Mayor Celine Olson was one of two people who spoke against the increase at Wednesday’s meeting. Olson said that before the city incorporated in 1986, the annual sewer fee under the county government was less than $100. Councilman Tom Campbell responded that the county did a poor job of maintaining the sewer system. “We inherited a maintenance nightmare,” Campbell said. Olson said she was also concerned that the increased fee will be used to pay for sala-

ry increases for sewer system managers and employees. However, City Manager David Ott and council members said neither managers nor staff have had a raise in five years. The money raised by the rate increase would be used to pay for operating the sewer system, as well as maintenance and needed capital improvements, not for employee raises, they said. “These increases are truly justifiable,” Campbell said. Olson said the city should put the issue to a vote, but the city’s attorney said a public vote is not required for increases of water, sewer or trash collection fees. If the city had received a written protest of the fees from a majority of its residents — or approximately 6,000 protests — the rate increase would have been blocked, officials said. Written notices were sent out citywide in March, and as of Wednesday, only two written protests had been received, according to the Solana Beach city clerk. A consultant hired by the city in 2006 to analyze the sewer system’s capital and operating needs recommended 5 percent rate increases each year through 2013/14. According to a staff report, the sewer fee was raised 5 percent for the first three years, but no rate increases were imposed in 2010/11 or 2011/12, due to the recession. A 2.5 percent increase was approved last year, and another 2.5 percent increase will take effect July 1 with the council’s vote on Wednesday.

New Solana Pacific School principal selected The Solana Beach School District Board of Education recently announced that Elisa Fregoso has been selected as the new principal at Solana Pacific School. Fregoso comes to Solana Beach from the Escondido Union School District where she has served as an elementary school principal since 2003. With more than 18 years of education experience, she has served as an elementary and middle school teacher, special program director, assistant principal, and principal. Approval of her appointment is slated for the regularly scheduled meeting of the Board of Education on May 23. Fregoso said, “I attribute my success as a teacher and administrator to working with very talented professionals and seeking out mentors who have been instrumental in guiding and supporting my career.” She added, “By far, the best part of my job is working with students, teachers, and parents to ensure our children have every opportunity to become the very best they can be!” Current Solana Pacific School principal, Brian McBride, will retire at the end of the 2012-13 school year after 13 years with the Solana Beach School District. Fregoso will assume her assignment at Solana Pacific School in August 2013.

Taxi driver allegedly attacked by passengers picked up in Del Mar BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A 52-year-old taxi cab driver was allegedly beaten and robbed May 11 by two passengers, who were arrested a short time later by police in a nearby parking lot. A sheriff’s deputy saw a cab driver sitting on the lawn in front of a Jack in the Box restaurant in the 1400 block of Encinitas Boulevard, just east of North El Camino Real, at 1:03 a.m., sheriff’s sgt. Bill Munsch said. “The taxi driver said he had been beaten and robbed of his cell phone by two men after he picked them up in Del Mar,’’ Munsch said. “The suspects were quickly located and taken into custody in a nearby parking lot.’’ The suspects were identified as 33-year-old Joseph Vanderbrink and his 38-year-old brother, Joshua Vanderbrink, sheriff’s said. “One of the brothers was Tased after becoming combative with deputies,’’ Munsch said.

Friends of Del Mar Mesa to hold trail tours BY SUZANNE EVANS Launching its website and presence on Linkedin, Facebook and Wikepedia, Friends of Del Mar Mesa are speeding up plans to raise public awareness of its commitment to preserve the mesa’s natural beauty and habitat by involving the community in press events and trail excursions. Trail mixers for hikers will include tours led by a naturalist around the preserve to encourage involvement in protecting the wildlife refuge and ecological preserve’s endangered habitat, scrub oak chaparral, vernal pools, vegetation, and sensitive species, Friends’ president Lisa Ross said at the Del Mar Mesa board’s May 9 meeting. Owners at Meadows Del Mar, a community of 134 home sites adjacent to a championship golf course, are signing up at a rapid rate to participate in Friends’ activities, Meadows representative and board member Amy Wood said, noting her hope for “100 percent participation.” In other matters, the board unanimously voted to install an all-way stop sign at the corner of Del Vino and Rancho Toyon roads, to prevent accidents from people who speed through, not yielding at that intersection. Vice chair Elizabeth Rabbitt and Mel Melstein, representative of District One Councilmember Sherri Lightner, will work together on a letter to the city requesting the stop sign.

Teen Volunteers in Action lauds its class of 2013 The 2013 Senior SendOff for the founding chapter of Teen Volunteers in Action applauded its 2013 graduating class of 28 young men who have participated in over 900 events and accumulated 2,200 hours of community service. These high school seniors were honored at a celebration to recognize their achievements on May 5 at the Nativity School Activity Center in Rancho Santa Fe. The focus of the afternoon was on the personal satisfaction associated with helping others instead of doing good deeds out of a sense of obligation. The 28 young men honored for their years of community service with TVIA were: Jacob Alsadek, Andrew Appleby, Dawson Bailey, Hunter Barrera, Tim Benirschke, Spencer Brewster, Chance Canedy, Christopher Carter, Aidan Clifford, Jack Condon, Aaron Ellis, Noah Gaarder-Feingold, Dillon Lerach, Sean McGrath, Zach McGrath, Quinton Mells, Mitchell Millar, Ian Moffit, George Nelson, Chase Pickwell, Connor Polk, Casey Reed, Connor Sears, Kade Shoemaker, Will Strauss, Stephen Tifft, Cole Tudor and Chris Watson. These seniors, all residing in the north coastal region of San Diego County, will be graduating from the following high schools: Torrey Pines High School, Canyon Crest Academy, Cathedral Catholic High School, Santa Fe Christian, La Costa Canyon High School, Pacific Ridge, Francis Parker, Rock Academy, Bishopâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s School and La Jolla High School. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am thankful to TVIA

president of TVIA, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m very proud of our graduates who have a greater understanding of and appreciation for helping others through community service and leadership opportunities. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This Class of 2013, these 28 remarkable young men, have contributed 2,200 hours of community service and can feel justifiably proud of themselves for making a real difference in the lives of so many people.â&#x20AC;? In the tradition of TVIA, all events, even a selfcelebration, include a charitable component. To this end, TVIA members attending the Senior Send-Off donated sheets, towels, toiletries and other items needed for college to San Pasqual Academyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s graduating seniors. Located in Escondido, San Pasqual Academy is a first-in-the-nation residential education campus designed specifically for foster teens. TVIA [www.tvia.org] is an organization of young men committed to developing community leaders through a structured program of volunteerism, philanthropy and personal growth. (For more photos of the founding chapterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s May 5 event, visit www.rsfreview. com) Note: The Teen Volunteers in Action-SD2 chapter held its 2013 Senior Send-Off event May 5 at Ocean Air Elementary School.

also experienced the great feeling that one receives from volunteering, the humbling effect that volunteering provides and how fortunate I am to have so much in my life. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have learned that those who are lucky enough to have [advantages] should give back to those in their community who have not been as fortunate â&#x20AC;&#x201C; and that there are numerous opportunities available. You just need to find one that is meaningful to you.â&#x20AC;? In addition to community service, TVIA offers its members opportunities for professional development. â&#x20AC;&#x153;TVIA has also provided me with life lessons through the teen seminars

that they have arranged for their members,â&#x20AC;? Chris said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The speakers are provided to assist the members in their transitions from high school to the next independent stage in our lives. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have attended lectures on such topics as automobile maintenance, basic cooking skills and tips on interviewing and essay writing. These seminars have equipped me with the basic life skills to help me move on to college and thereafter.â&#x20AC;? The Senior Send-Off recognized the many contributions made by this TVIA graduating class and celebrated their philanthropic efforts. Said Katherine Foster,

Annual inlet excavation being held at San Elijo Lagoon With the passing of winterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s strongest storm surges, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time for spring cleaning at San Elijo Lagoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s ocean passage. From May 13 to May 17, earthmovers will be seen at the Cardiff State Beach lagoon inlet to reconnect San Elijo Lagoon to its Pacific headwaters. San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy (SELC) is the organization overseeing the process. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Water movement is essential for preventing depletion of oxygen, thus maintaining water quality and the overall health of the entire reserve,â&#x20AC;? said Doug Gibson, executive director and principal scientist at SELC. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The lagoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inlet and channel appears open, but is 80 percent blocked, and maintenance is necessary to improve tidal circulation to achieve optimum conditions.â&#x20AC;? Inlet excavation involves the laborious task of moving approximately 25,000 cubic yards of sand out of the lagoon inlet, and back on to the beach. Grunion spawning will not be affected as the dredging operation is timed not to coincide with this biological event. This small opening, just south of San Elijo State Beach Campground, is the lagoonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s only access to the Pacific Ocean. Keeping the inlet open to the ocean is critical to maintaining the health of San Elijo Lagoon and our coastal water quality. For more information, the conservancyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s website about inlet excavation is www.sanelijo.org/inlet, or phone is (760) 436-3944.

Musical chairs at San Dieguito Union High School District

BY MARSHA SUTTON After spending two months a n d $26,000 of taxpayer money on an execuMarsha Sutton t i v e search firm, the San Dieguito Union High School District’s Board of Education came around to the obvious conclusion – that deputy superintendent Rick Schmitt was the ideal candidate to replace retiring superintendent Ken Noah. Good for them. They couldn’t have picked anyone better for the job. A natural leader, Schmitt has a thorough understanding of the district in ways no one from outside would have. He’s well-respected, a clear thinker, knowledgeable, accessible and affable. Besides all that, Schmitt has the under-appreciated quality of connecting well

with teenagers on a personal level. Although this might not seem so important for a superintendent and highlevel administrator, well-removed from the daily operations of schools and frequent interactions with students, it’s a vital trait that is often overlooked. So why did it take school board members so long to decide on their own guy after expending all that time and money? Although $26,000 isn’t exactly like winning the lottery, it’s still a piece of change, in this era of fiscal constraint where school districts are squeezing pennies from budgets any way they can. Even though at least one board member recommended skipping the search firm route and naming Schmitt from the start, all five eventually agreed to pay the money to conduct a thorough search.

Groth, SDUHSD board president, offered some compelling justifications. “I think we really needed to make comparisons to see who is out there,” she said. “Until we ask and until you recruit, you don’t know.” Because the process was so thorough, Groth said the board is “very comfortable and very confident that we made the right [decision].” She said it was time and money well spent. “I know there were people who were rooting for Rick from the very beginning, but I can now go to the public with a clear conscience and say we searched and had really good people,” she said. “We carefully weighed all the pros and cons of each one of them and this is the best one.” Currently SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of educational services, Schmitt was moved up into a new position of deputy superintendent, effectively second in command, several months before existing superintendent Ken Noah announced his retirement. Once the news hit that Noah was leaving, many felt Schmitt would be chosen immediately. But Groth said no. “He was not the heir apparent,” she said. When the new position was approved, “we were not looking for a superintendent, so

that did not come into play whatsoever.” Search firm Leadership Associates brought in 16 applicants who were narrowed down to three to interview – Schmitt and two others, one from northern California and one from southern California. Groth declined to name the other two candidates because they are both employed in other districts, but she said one was from a larger district and one from a district of similar size. All three had experience coming through the ranks as principals of middle and high schools. But the other two had more experience at higher-level management, she said. “They were good, strong candidates,” she said. San Dieguito’s last two superintendents were recruited from outside the district. “We were open to bring in someone who has been a superintendent in another highly performing district,” she said. “There is something to be said for new eyes.” Groth cited a number of reasons why the board settled on Schmitt instead. “He knows his stuff, and he’s ready to step up,” she said. “Compared to the other very good candidates who had more experience, Rick came out as definitely the better fit for our district.”

Groth said they “grilled him” to learn how he would perform as a superintendent because “he has not sat in that chair and has never acted like one because that was not his position.” “It was his vision of the district that was exciting,” she said. “It was building on what we have but yet putting his own mark on it. It really all fell into place.” “He made it very clear he can and will be a very successful superintendent,” she said. “He’s really grown as a professional. I was really impressed.” Groth said Schmitt was focused, candid about the district’s challenges and accomplishments, and acknowledged some of the issues which she said include closing the achievement gap, working with severe budget cutbacks, and overseeing the district’s recently approved $449 million General Obligation bond and the projects. “He is definitely ready to be a superintendent, and it’s going to be a really good direction for San Dieguito,” she said. No drastic changes Ken Noah, who came to San Dieguito five years ago as superintendent, was pleased with the board’s decision to pick Schmitt. “I know what his talents and skills and abilities are,” Noah said. “I believe

he will provide excellent leadership for the district.” Noah said that “Rick has been such an integral part in helping shape and support the direction in the five years I’ve been here, and I know that work is not only going to continue but it’s going to grow. And that’s gratifying to me.” Noah said Schmitt has the full support and respect of the district’s leadership team. When they were called together to hear the news, “they were thrilled,” he said. “I certainly felt Rick was the right guy and had all the requisite skills and talents,” he said. “I’m happy the board in their process made that selection.” Schmitt moved to Carmel Valley from the Bay Area with his family in 1999 to work as principal of Coronado High School. He began his career in the district in 2003 as principal of Torrey Pines High School where he spent three years until being appointed associate superintendent of educational services. “This is my community so I have perspective as a parent and as an educator,” Schmitt said. “I’ve lived here for 14 years. That’s a whole generation of K-12 kids coming through.” When asked what he offered that the other candidates didn’t, he said he didn’t know who they were but felt his “intimate knowledge of all our communities … is a clear advantage for someone who already works in the organization.” Schmitt said he was “flattered and humbled” by the selection, saying picking an internal candidate generally means the board supports the focus and direction of the district. “To me that’s a clear signal that they liked our work, they liked our team,” he said. “They liked the direction, they liked Ken’s leadership style.” Schmitt said he and Noah “see the world very similarly in terms of what our work is. He begins and ends with supporting students and working hard to have a positive impact on the lives of students and staff.” Schmitt has no immediate plans to make drastic changes. He intends to “stay the course” in general but acknowledged that changes will occur in two major ways. One is the national transition to Common Core standards for English and math, and the other is manSee DISTRICT, page 17

SAND continued from page 1 it. If we don’t, we’re fools,” said Solana Beach Councilman Tom Campbell. The Solana Beach council voted after listening to about a dozen speakers for and against the project. Supporters said it would protect the coastal bluffs from storm damage and erosion, improving safety for beachgoers and property owners, and offer environmental benefits. Opposition to the project came mostly from surfers, who fear that dumping tons of sand on local beaches would affect the contours of the ocean floor and diminish the waves at some of the region’s best surf spots. Former City Councilman Joe Kellejian, who stepped down from the panel in December after serving for 20 years, told the council Wednesday that if the project does not go forward, years of effort, thousands of hours of work and millions of dollars would go to waste. “We have a very real shoreline erosion problem to solve,” Kellejian said. “Without this opportunity, make no mistake, we will end up with more sea walls in this community.” However, opponents called on the council to work with the Army Corps of Engineers on a less invasive project that would involve putting less sand on the beaches, but also help preserve the area’s prime surf breaks. Solana Beach and Army Corps staff said Wednesday that environmental studies determined the project would not affect 17 of 21 surf spots that were studied. Among those that would be affected, however, are three well-known surf spots — Tabletop and Pillbox in Solana Beach and Stone Steps in Encinitas. “There are plenty of low-quality waves for beginners all over San Diego,” but only a few places with highquality waves, said Mark Rauscher of the Surfrider Foundation. “You’re about to bury a few of them with this project.” “As a resident of Solana Beach I am concerned,” said Allison Prange. “I am worried about my childhood beach. I don’t want to see it destroyed.” Officially, the two councils voted Wednesday to draft letters supporting the Army Corps’ preferred alternative among a number of variations on the project.

May 16, 2013 Without those letters, the project would not have been considered by Army Corps officials in Washington, D.C. The next step for the project will be a hearing before the agency’s Civil Works Review Board on June 21 in the nation’s capital. Representatives of both Solana Beach and Encinitas plan to be on hand. “We are going there to show our support for the project and give the local perspective,” said Solana Beach City Manager David Ott. “This project is the poster child for sand replenishment projects in California,” Ott said, because of the critical need due to shoreline erosion. “If we can’t receive approval for this project, it creates serious doubt for future projects in California.” Solana Beach has experienced dozens of bluff collapses, including one incident in which a “Volkswagen-sized” chunk of earth was hurled more than 50 feet from the bluff, Ott said. A woman died in a bluff collapse at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas in 2000. After the hearing in Washington, D.C., the project will go before the California Coastal Commission for review, and then an engineer’s report will be issued by the Army Corps in the fall, Ott said. If the project receives all necessary approvals, it would be included in a water bill for potential funding by Congress late this year. Design and coastline monitoring would take place in 2014 and 2015, with construction to begin in early 2016 and last about a year, Army Corps officials said. In the Solana Beach segment of the project, 960,000 cubic yards of sand would be placed on the beach initially, and “re-nourishment” would take place in 13-year cycles. The total cost of the Solana Beach project is estimated at $66 million. The Encinitas segment would involve an initial placement of 680,000 cubic yards of sand, with re-nourishment every five years, and the project is slated to cost $108 million. Ott said one reason the project has taken so long is that an initial study completed by the Army Corps in 2005 was flawed, and the agency essentially had to start over. Of the $8 million spent so far, about half has come from the federal govern-

ment, $3 million from the state, and $1 million — in staff time and consultant studies — has come from the two cities. Design and monitoring work is estimated to cost about another $1 million, Ott said. Even if the project receives all necessary approvals, Congress would still have to agree to fund each phase. Ott said it’s worthwhile to get approval even if funding isn’t readily available. That’s because a project to dredge San Elijo Lagoon is also in the works, which would make available about one million cubic yards of beach sand. If the Army Corps project is approved, Ott said, sand from the lagoon dredging could be placed on Solana Beach and Encinitas beaches.

PRINCIPAL continued from page 1 derful people and I will deeply miss them all. The parents have shown incredible support and generosity over the years and I feel honored to have been allowed to work with you. The staff at CCA is like no other. They are the hardest working, most creative, and compassionate group of people I have ever known. Telling them how much I respect them doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface. Then there are the students. CCA students have achieved on a scale that is simply astounding. I have learned time and time again to simply create a positive supportive environment, throw in a little timely encouragement, then stand back and be prepared to be amazed. Every day these students make me believe in our future. If you ever get discouraged about world

events, just take a look at what our students past and present are up to and you will find endless reasons to feel optimistic. “A few years ago our district leadership took a chance on a new school and some new administrators with some big ideas. To this day, district leadership has been unwavering in its support of CCA and its innovative spirit. I have endless gratitude for their faith and vision. Moving forward, district leadership will develop a process to find the next CCA principal. “Ultimately, there is really no way I can adequately express what CCA means to me. For the past 12 years, CCA has occupied a large part of my mind. Looking forward I know CCA will forever own a piece of my heart. “Stay bold Ravens!” Sincerely, Brian Kohn Principal Canyon Crest Academy

Local Rotarians celebrate RAW Day in San Diego Local Rotarians Susheela Narayanan and Jan Parsons, from the Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary Club, celebrated Rotarians at Work day on April 27 by joining other Rotarians to weed and clean up the San Diego Crime Victims Park in Scripps Ranch. The park was established by the family of Cara Knot who was the victim of a violent crime in 1882 at the Mercy Road off ramp on I-15 South. The concept of RAW Day was the brain child of Past District Governor Bob Watson in 2006 who envisioned Rotarians all over the world working on the same day to renew their commitment to the timeless message of â&#x20AC;&#x153;Service Above Self.â&#x20AC;? On April 27, thousands of Rotarians world-wide renewed their commitment to this message of compassion and generosity of spirit by volunteering their services to various good causes. The Del Marâ&#x20AC;&#x201C;Solana Beach Rotary Club is a service club of 36 business, professional, and volunteer leaders who belong to the 1.2 millionmember Rotary International. The clubâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s meetings are held at the Marriott Del Mar Hotel in Carmel Valley every Friday morning, from 7:15 to 8:30 a.m. For more information about the club, please contact Paul Butler at (619) 559-3213 or go to www.DMSBRotary.com.

Upcoming air show salutes San Diego’s wartime spirit

North County aviators are playing key roles in the 18th Annual “Wings Over Gillespie” Air Show from June 1-2 at Gillespie Field in El Cajon, featuring fly-bys, mock battles and tributes to military veterans. This year’s show commemorates San Diego’s contributions to World War II and its “Arsenal of Democracy,” the fleet of war machines that were designed or built here. Dozens of planes will take to the skies during the event, including Consolidated’s famed “flying boat,” the PBY Catalina, and one of the few PB4Y-2 Privateers still flying today. Aviation buff Bill Allen of La Jolla, whose family’s roots in real estate and polo go deep, will fly a rare 1940 Ryan STM2, built in San Diego under military contract for the Dutch and later flown by the Royal Australian Air Force. Allen not only flies vintage aircraft, he collects them, a small fleet of planes that includes a 1945 Stearman PT-17 once owned by the late actor Steve McQueen. Bill and wife Claudia own and operate the Allen Airways Flying Museum at Gillespie Field, a stunning collection of aviation memorabilia, from posters to battered propellers, leather helmets, even a

gas can used to refuel Lindbergh’s Spirit of St. Louis. Air Show Chairman is Bob Simon of Del Mar, a retired American Airlines Captain and Naval aviator, who now owns and flies a Stearman biplane named after his wife, D’Marie. Also from Del Mar is Assistant Chair Erich Moulder, a corporate jet pilot, who will fly “Sassy,” a SNJ World War II trainer in the show. Rancho Santa Fe’s Dwight Wait, a retired Delta Air Lines Captain and Air Force pilot, serves as the show’s security director. Last year’s Air Show Chairman, John Telles of Vista, is a retired Marine pilot who flew the presidential helicopter known as Marine One during the Nixon and Ford administrations. New to this year’s air show is the thrilling Silver Wings Wingwalking team, combining flying and artistry in a dynamic sky ballet on the wings of Stearman bi-planes. The only Northrop N9M Flying Wing returns, along with John A. Collver and his AT6/SNJ “War Dog,” a World War II trainer performing in an exciting aerial display to the strains of patriotic music. The show also features dozens of educational displays from NASA, the mili-

tary services and defense contractors, along with booths offering everything from aviation art to airplane models. The event will offer plenty of food and beverages, including a beer garden, and a Kids’ Zone. Parking is free. Gates are open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday. Friday is an Education Day for San Diego County students, and is not open to the public. “Wings over Gillespie” is presented each year by Air Group One, the San Diego Wing of the Commemorative Air Force (CAF), a 501(c) (3) volunteer organization dedicated to preserving the history of the people and planes of World War II. Led by Wing Leader Jim McGarvie, Air Group One also sponsors fly-overs for veterans’ events; handson workshops for students focusing on A-STEM (Aviation, Science, Technology, Engineering and Math); and “Fly Days” on the first Friday of every month with live music, craft beer and wine, food and vintage airplane rides at the Gillespie Field Cafe.

Del Mar author sheds light on the Hollywood dream in unique book

Susan Marg chapters, the collection reads like a story and comprises “over 500 quips, quotes, and off-the-cuff remarks” by actors, directors, writers and other show business folk, Marg said. “They talk about themselves, their lives, their fame, their careers, and each other!” Chapter headings are movie titles. “The question of whether art imitates life or vice versa interests me,” said Marg. “Also I didn’t want to ignore movies alto-

gether while I focused on what the celebrities were saying about their experience. I also have quotations at the beginning of each section that helps illustrate the focus on that section,” she explained. Movie titles include “It’s a Wonderful Life,” “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World,” and “Anyway Which Way You Can.” The book’s title is a nod to a 1956 Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis comedy, in which the goofy pair take a cross-country ride to Hollywood. Star comments include the celebrated words of Ben Affleck, Jack Black, Woody Allen, Robert Pattinson, Kristen Stewart, Lindsay Lohan, Clint Eastwood, Scarlet Johansson, and those of vintage icons such as Bing Crosby and Marlene Dietrich. Marg said that she read a lot, especially biographies, while she was culling the book’s content. “At one time I had over 2,000 quotations, which I then sorted by theme and while it took a

long time to gather the material the book came together easily and it was a lot of fun!” Some of the themes of the book address stardom and how celebrities often rise from humble roots to lofty heights; technical acting skills; their looks; and the big payoff – the Oscars – and more. Directors talk about their perspective from the other side of the camera, and screenwriters vent how they are the “lowest of the low on the Tinseltown totem pole, except possibly for agents,” quipped Marg. When asked if she had a favorite quotation, Marg was hard pressed to think of just one. “But I particularly enjoy the classics,” she said, such as Marilyn Monroe’s famous words “Hollywood is a place where they’ll pay you a thousand dollars for a kiss and 50 cents for your soul.” Another of Marg’s favorites is Sandra Bullock’s comment on fame: “When your computer modem is broken, the repair guy

comes out a little faster.” And Marlon Brando’s “The only reason I’m in Hollywood is that I don’t have the moral courage to refuse the money.” Marg is also the author of “Las Vegas Weddings: A Brief History, Celebrity Gossip, Everything Elvis, and the Complete Chapel Guide” [Harper Collins]. Her interest in popular culture and the entertainment industry, and her writing skills, grew from her background in the world of ad-

vertising and marketing. “You need to know who’s in, who’s out and what’s going on in the world of entertainment. I guess it’s in my blood,” said Marg. Born and raised in Ohio, and after spending a 15-year career as an advertising manager for AT&T in New Jersey, Marg later relocated to Del Mar where she still lives with her husband, James C. Simmons, who is also an author and a historian. On her blog, “The More Things Change...”, Marg reflects on history, her story, true stories and fiction. “I believe our stories make us who we are,” she said. The book, which recently received an honorable mention for one of the Best Books of the Spring, at the San Francisco Book Festival, retails at $14.95 and may be purchased online at www.hollywoodorbustthebook.com.

BY DIANE Y. WELCH Is Hollywood the happiest place on Earth or the most miserable? This is the question that author and popular culture maven Susan Marg, a Del Mar resident, pondered as she pored over piles of glossy magazines and newspaper gossip columns searching for the best celebrity quotations that might answer her query. The result is an informative and entertaining book that contains quotations – that both laud and deride Tinseltown – dished out by Hollywood stars, past and present. Titled “Hollywood or Bust: Movie Stars Dish on Following their Dreams, Making it Big, and Surviving in Tinseltown” [Cowgirl Jane Press, April 2013], the 182-page volume is a fun pick-up-and-read-anytime book or a handy resource for anyone needing that perfect celebrity quotation, said Marg.

Fair Trade Décor Grand Opening Fair Trade Décor, owned by Carmel Valley residents Jude and Betsy Paganelli, held a ribbon-cutting event May 10, and a Grand Opening of its store in Del Mar on May 11 and 12. The Grand Opening, which also celebrated World Fair Trade Day and Mother’s Day, featured world music, light snacks and great new products. To further help those in need, Fair Trade Décor donated 15 percent of all sales during the Grand Opening to PCI (Project Concern International) www.pciglobal.org. PCI is a San Diego nonprofit organization that provides health and poverty- related services to many countries in the Global South as well as San Diego and other parts of the U.S. Fair Trade Decor supports economically disadvantaged artisans around the world, many of them in the same countries served by PCI. The store’s diverse line of home décor items are sourced through members of the Fair Trade Federation (www.fairtradefederation.org) and the World Fair Trade Organization (www.wfto.com), creating opportunity and resources for those people living in poverty. Products found in the store range from small carvings to furniture and include decorative items made from textiles, stone, recycled metal, wood and other natural fibers. Handmade scarves, jewelry and handbags are also available. All of the products are produced according to Fair Trade Principles as defined by the FTF and WFTO (www.fairtradeprinciples. org).

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Caring Transitions helps clients through difficult times in a variety of ways BY DIANE Y. WELCH A line of about 80 people gathered on the steps of a Point Loma classic 1920s Spanish Colonial-style home recently. The occasion was an estate sale and the treasure seekers had stood in line well before the opening time of 9 a.m. It was the start of a steady stream of customers who wove their way through the home’s many rooms packed wall-to-wall with furnishings, lighting fixtures, clothing, knickknacks and other items collected over the lifetime of the former homeowner who had relocated to a nursing home. Staging the sale were the staff of Caring Transitions, employees who are carefully chosen, background-screened, insured and bonded by Will Fuller, CEO of the company. Like the family of this Point Loma client, Fuller had also witnessed his own family members struggle through transitions that come along as part of life’s journey. And as a result he founded his company. The four “Ds” as Fuller

From left, Will Fuller, Peggy Hammond, Amy Magers and Susie Fuller. calls them – death, divorce, disease and down sizing – impact millions. Caring Transitions acts as an onsite advocate, keeping a client’s best interests at heart. “Our focus is to minimize the stress and maximize the returns while helping clients through a difficult time,” said Fuller. Services include sort-

ing and de-cluttering; downsizing and senior relocations; packing and moving; sale or dispersal of personal property; estate sales; online auctions; coordination with attorneys and realtors; coordination with medical professionals and contractors; and clean out and preparation of home for sale or rental.

The business concept started about nine years ago when Fuller helped his parents downsize from a large family home in Los Angeles to a “right size” home in San Diego that was closer to him and to their medical facility. Then he went through a transition personally, about six years ago, when there was an illness

in his immediate family, resulting in his own downsize. Fuller, a native of Kansas, with a background in customer service and marketing, and a former account executive for the North County Times, said at that same time he was also looking for a business opportunity. Because of its national reach, Caring Transitions franchises across state borders are able to assist each other with relocations that come in and out of their respective states. It was this intrastate support that prompted Fuller to invest in the franchise and create Caring Transitions, La Jolla. As part of its servicepackage the company will professionally pack customers’ items and create a space plan to make sure that existing items fit the new home and then help with the resettlement for clients coming into the San Diego area. “We’ll set up their closets, their bathroom, linen closets, kitchens so that when the client walks into this new home it mirrors the one they just left. That way they feel so comfort-

able they can go out and start meeting people immediately without the worry of unpacking, and not living out of boxes for weeks,” Fuller said. The company services all of San Diego County but has a strong reach to the North County coastal area and La Jolla. And Fuller predicts more business ahead as 79 million baby boomers turned 65 in 2011. “That’s about 10,000 people turning 65 every day in the USA,” he said. It’s a daunting thought that each of those families must face a major change at some point, said Fuller. “But we have proven systems in place whereby we can remove a lot of the stress – and a lot of times, the arguments – out of coping with these often overwhelming major life-changing transitions.” Visit www.estatemovelajollaca.com to get more information about Caring Transitions’ services or call Will Fuller at (858) 7682000.

Mustangs U19 Rugby wins So. Cal Championship • Heads for National Invitational in Midwest With a back-line that he charitably described as “decimated,” San Diego Mustangs U19 head coach Matty Sandoval put Saturday’s May 11 Southern California Youth Rugby League final against No. 1 seed Santa Monica on the backs of his forwards. And the big pack responded. 290 LB Prop Joey Kuperman took it over for the first Mustang score, six minutes into the match, while Grant McGahey added the final try with two minutes left, to lead the Carmel Valley-based Mustangs over the Dolphins, 36-7, in 80-plus degree heat in inland Orange County. In between, “we played Big Boy Rugby,” said Sandoval. The San Diego Forwards held the edge on scrums, rucks and line-outs. Kuperman even attempted an ill-advised pooch-kick and run late, while Aaron Mitchell , AJ Talman, and Jacob Neeley handled the ball well in the interior, while snuffing out Santa Monica advances. Both clubs were undefeated entering the match,

with the Mustangs ranked No. 5 in the nation by Rugby Magazine. But, the Mustangs (10-0), had not been able to field their starting back-line since a Week 5 contest against the San Diego Aztecs had put three starters out. For the final, inside Center Chase Pickwell returned for the first time since the Aztec match, but Devin Slubowski and Michael “The Vortex” Cahill were game-time scratches with the flu. High School All-American center Billy Maggs suited out, but did not play due to a lingering injury. Mac Entwistle and Alex Lindsay shifted out to the Wings for the Mustangs, while Bernardo Olivas moved to outside center. Both Entwistle and Lindsay scored for San Diego, while Pickwell was tested early and often, but lasted 70 minutes after not having played or practiced for a month. Chris Sanchez scored for Santa Monica at the 15 minute mark to make the score, 14-5, when a scissors

DISTRICT continued from page 6 aging the district’s Proposition AA $449 million bond. He said, though, that new developments in budgets, enrollment, boundaries and other considerations may mean that “the answers in 2013 might not be the answers in 2014.” Schmitt is proud of the progress the district has made over the past few years – “some unprecedented achievement gains in spite of historic budget cuts,” he said. When the announcement was made to staff and the room erupted in applause, “I felt a lot of cheer in the room,” he said. At the May 16 board meeting, trustees will officially appoint Schmitt as the district’s next superintendent, effective July 1. Contract details will be finalized for approval at the board’s next

May 16, 2013 meeting on June 6. Under the current superintendent’s contract, Noah is being paid $215,000 plus a $6,000 per year auto allowance, with health and retirement benefits. More openings With Schmitt’s move into the top spot, his position of deputy superintendent and associate superintendent of educational services (work he continued to do as deputy superintendent) are now both open. In addition, Brian Kohn, principal of Canyon Crest Academy, recently resigned to take a position in northern California, and Anna Pedroza, principal of Oak Crest Middle School and former principal of Earl Warren Middle School, is also leaving. This leaves at least four vacancies, although whether the deputy superintendent position gets filled is questionable

Smart money is on Mike Grove, executive director of curriculum and assessment, to take Schmitt’s old job. And we can expect to see some musical chairs as people and jobs get shuffled around a bit. “Part of the strength of the district is we’re growing our own administrators,” Groth said. “These are very competent people. You find someone you know is a star and you encourage that ability and give them opportunities to learn and to practice their craft.” She said the board will likely be involved in principal selection. “Bringing in principals is huge,” she said. “The next month and a half is a transition time where I need to be respectful of the fact that Rick is going to be the superintendent,” said Noah, commenting that Schmitt needs to select people he can work with and support. “So that’s a compli-

cating piece to this.” The district may look outside for the person to run Canyon Crest Academy, Noah said, although “we do have a number of very capable people in the district that we’re going to look at to fill a number of positions.” “There is lots of movement in the district, [with] a number of administrators looking for different options,” Schmitt said. “Our goal is by June 14 to have all

our pieces in place.” Enrollment for the 2012-2013 school year at the four San Dieguito schools in the southern portion of the district, according to the May 2 board report, is: 1,493 at Carmel Valley Middle School, 706 at Earl Warren Middle School, 2,585 at Torrey Pines High School, and 1,821 at Canyon Crest Academy. Enrollment at San Dieguito Academy in Encinitas

is 1,554, and at La Costa Canyon High School in Carlsbad it’s 2,047. San Dieguito educates about 12,000 students in grades 7-12, in four middle schools, four high schools, and two alternative schools. Feeder elementary school districts include Del Mar, Solana Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, Cardiff and Encinitas. — Marsha Sutton can be reached at SuttComm@san.rr.com.

Committee Pension Sub-Committee

Hats off to the members of the City of Del Mar’s Finance Committee Pension Sub-Committee for the 18-plus months they spent learning the ins and outs of the City’s $23,000,000-plus pension obligation. They really have a well-researched understanding of the issues and the politics and the challenges of the City’s pension liability, and as we approach the next round of budget discussions we need to lean on them and their knowledge to help guide the decisions we make as a City. The learning curve for the rest of us is huge; we are fortunate that the Committee has done the hard work for us. I admittedly don’t begin to understand it all, but the bottom line I do understand is that we have terrific City Staff working for us who help make Del Mar a wonderful place to live, and we citizens already have $3 million in side fund debt plus $23 million in pension debt for the work they have done (plus we continue to incur pension expenses as we go forward). We can’t let these numbers get any larger, we can’t leave the debt unpaid, and we can’t diddle with making minimum payments that end up being 10 times the cost (as Poway has chosen to do). We have some tough decisions ahead of us, and they need to include the commitment to pay our past debts now so that we can move forward on the other projects we desire. Nancy Stoke Del Mar

Jordan Rosenfeld, in his letter of May 9, said it’s time to stop the comparisons with Hitler and Nazi Germany, such as made by Jim Donovan (me) and Tom Pickwell in making their (separately submitted) cases against Big Brother in America and his ever bigger and bolder encroachments upon the liberty fought for by our inspired founders and guaranteed by the Constitution they created. Mr. Rosenfeld’s arguments, however, invalidate themselves for the following reasons: Hitler didn’t begin his quest for power with storm troopers and gas ovens but by kissing babies and promising to restore Germany’s economy and proud place in the world after World War I. Similarly, Big Brother in America disguises its quest for power in the guise of protecting the public (from itself) and other benevolent causes that have expanded to the point where individual liberty is being sacrificed for the so-called common good. The most current example of which is the seemingly trivial plastic bag issue (seemingly trivial because a paper bag costs the public a mere 10 cents). Rosenfeld argues that it’s time to stop the Nazi comparisons because they are rooted in a history no longer relevant in this age of computers, I-Phones, etc., so it’s time to move on. Move on, from the first outside-world discoveries of Hitler’s gas ovens and the dumpsters of countless skeletons in 1945 when everyone said “Lest we forget”? “Enough with the Nazi comparisons,” Mr. Rosenfeld? “Because today we cannot realistically fear that anything resembling Nazi Germany will ever happen here”. Specifically, probably not, but in another form that is rooted in the same incremental quest for power from the top down, you can bet on it. And as history from the beginning of time attests, the loser is invariably the individual. Time to forget, Mr. Rosenfeld, or time to remember? Jim Donovan

One Paseo – I really don’t care I really don’t care if Kilroy builds the One Paseo mixed use project. I am retired. I can wander over to Carmel Valley after the noon time rush and before the Torrey Pines High school gets out around 2:45 p.m. I am retired so I can shop at Trader Joe’s before the 1,200 folks living in the apartment/ condo complex do their evening market shopping. I am retired so I can attend the matinée movie shows before the local teens and young adults drive to the parking structure in the evenings or weekends. I am retired and have heard and seem enough in my lifetime to understand the term “Unintended Consequences.” I am retired and have learned to understand and interpret “Developer’s Speak” so I understand real world consequences of short-term gains vs long-term results on Quality of Life. I am retired and do worry that the Station 24 ambulance will be caught in the One Paseo Traffic and not get over the Del Mar Heights Bridge in a timely fashion but that is the price of progress.

‘Twerking’ incident a wake-up call

The recent scandal over the “twerking” video provides an opportunity to reflect on our changing culture and values. Administrators from the school where the video was produced were understandably upset and chose to prohibit the participants from going to the prom and walking at graduation. The school was concerned about the message these students appeared to be sending to their peers and the online community. A daughter’s high school years are anxiety-provoking for her parents, fueled by late night parties, revealing clothes and the constant background noise of crude, sexually charged music. Throughout history parents have been concerned that their daughters may be sexually exploited or harmed in other ways. Parents are disturbed by their daughters’ blatant displays of sexuality because they know men respond to them. However, each generation develops new standards and mores regarding sexual behavior. Those old enough to remember recall society’s response of horror to Elvis Presley’s gyrations. Some parents even forbade watching the Beatles and the Rolling Stones. Because sexuality today is even more “in your face,” as anyone who watches reality TV or music videos can see, teenagers have become numbed to the potency of the sexual messages they exude in the way they dress and the way they act. They have developed a new “normal” and it is often disturbing to us. Teenagers will mouth the words of rap songs, seemingly ignoring the negative messages regarding sex, women and violence. The way many teenagers dress may appear extremely provocative, especially to adults who were raised with a different standard of what was sexy and what was sexual. Psychological research has shown that we quickly habituate to events around us and then ignore them. People living next to a railway line or by the airport are initially bothered by the sound of the train or plane passing, but eventually they barely hear it. We are programmed to notice change and ignore the ordinary. In Muslim countries seeing a woman’s hair or perhaps her ankle is seen as sexually provocative because it is so often hidden. When miniskirts first came out in the 1960s older people saw it as scandalous. Most women who wore the mini were following the fashion, not attempting to be provocative. Eventually the mini became the new normal. Someone wearing a “micro mini” skirt however would raise an eyebrow because it broke a convention. It suggested that the wearer wanted to advertise sexuality by wearing a skirt even shorter than typical. Habituation is good and bad; we can become accustomed to daily irritations, going on automatic pilot to save valuable brain capacity for other tasks, and saving our consciousness for important events. It can be bad, however, because we can drift away from our values slowly, over time, without noticing. As we become numb to sexuality the media raises the ante, perhaps by combining violence with sexuality to get our attention. Teenagers who made the “twerking” video very likely did not fully understand its sexual nature. I would bet that if you asked them, “Did you mean to be sexually provocative?” most would say “absolutely not!” In fact they would be appalled to think that men watching the video could be sexually stimulated by their actions. Because they see it everywhere, teenagers have habituated to a high level of intense sexuality. We, as parents, need to provide sensitivity training to our children about what is sexually provocative and what is appropriate behavior. Parents ultimately need to take responsibility for their children’s lack of judgment and they are the ones to determine an appropriate consequence. It is not necessary for these teens to miss out on a once-in-alifetime experience in order for this event to serve as a learning experience. We believe the teenagers should be allowed to go to prom and to walk at their graduation. This is a wakeup call about where our society is going and our teen’s habituation to intense levels of blatant sexuality, and also to the fact that during these changing times we have to train our children about what is appropriate.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

Number of annual gunshot deaths unacceptable Americans have been outraged and saddened by the devastation caused by the bombs that disrupted the Boston Marathon. Three people died, many lost limbs or suffered other severe injury. It’s an unacceptable situation, and Congress is now investigating what went wrong. Homeland Security, federal data bases, and the FBI somehow missed the alert. Someone should have known that Tamarlan Tsarnaev and his brother were dangerous. Congress will continue to debate and review the facts and try to find out what went wrong, all with the intent of making us feel safer. As horrific as the Boston attacks were, I find it difficult to understand how they engender such debate and investigation. After all, 80 people died today by gunshot, 80 died yesterday, and 80 will die tomorrow. That’s the frightening average of deaths in this country as a result of gun violence. Why do we not see a vigorous debate in Congress about how to lower these statistics? Of course, we must be vigilant of terrorist attacks. They take us by surprise, and innocent people die. But is that to say that we can ignore the 80 people per day, 30,000 per year, who die by gunshot? President Obama proposed a comprehensive package of gun legislation that would help decrease this appalling number. Congress failed to act on any of it; even the simple measure of background checks was defeated. Instead, fear, fueled by the NRA, has resulted in an increase in gun sales. More guns in the hands of the public means more deaths by gunshot. Are we really content to stand by and watch this daily death toll, including massacres such as that at Sandy Hook and Aurora, continue from too many guns in our communities? If you are as disturbed as I by these 80 daily deaths, there are several approaches you can take: arm yourself more heavily, opening up the potential for those weapons to fall into the wrong hands, take the ostrich head-in-the sand-approach with “it doesn’t really affect me,” or you can call your congressperson. Congress people are remarkably receptive to hearing from their constituents. They will listen and, more importantly, act on your opinion as to whether or not 30,000 annual gunshot deaths is a statistic that we Americans are content to accept. Carol Landale Carmel Valley

We need to do all we can to ensure safety of cyclists I came across the scene above while on a bike ride along the CA State Route 56 freeway during the evening rush hour commute on Friday. The car in the picture went off the road, through a fence and came to rest on the bike path that parallels the freeway. The accident happened about 5 minutes before I arrived on scene. The scary part is that my bike ride was delayed by about 5 minutes when I returned home to retrieve my cycling gloves. If we had met, I would have been hit head on (I took the picture after passing the car). A few years ago, one cyclist was killed by a motorist running off the road and onto this same bike path. This tragic incident, hearing stories about other “near-misses” and seeing numerous holes in the fence over the years makes me think this path is nothing more than a bike lane on a freeway. While the concept of a walk/jog/bike path along this east-west corridor is commendable, the design is severely flawed. Simply put, distracted drivers in speeding cars and cyclists do not mix. I use the bike path about three times a week and more often during the summer. Seniors, parents and their young children; people of all ages enjoy this trail. I preferred the path because it appeared safer than the surface streets for riding my bike. I have serious doubts now. As we celebrate Bike to Work Day this Friday, May 17, let’s do all that we can to ensure the safety of those who choose alternative transportation or cycle for exercise, relaxation or for pure enjoyment.

OLYMPICS continued from page 1 places. He’s got, obviously, a wealth of information.” Late last month the U.S. Olympic Committee said international rules don’t allow two countries to propose a joint Olympic event. According to Sports Illustrated, Scott Blackmun, the USOC’s chief executive, said the committee was talking to 10 cities about a possible bid, including San Diego-Tijuana. He said the committee hadn’t looked carefully at the crossborder proposal but that it would “have its challenges.” (To read more, click here.) Though a bi-national Olympics is a new concept, during last week’s media event Filner assured, “there’s ways to deal with the existing rules. “We would like to change the rules,” he said. “I think the hallmark of the Olympics is international cooperation. What could be more a state-

ment of international cooperation than two countries doing this together, so I’m hopeful that we have time to deal with the International Olympic Committee and their rules and by-laws.” Filner said he has spoken with contacts provided by Romney about “the realities” of hosting the Olympics, “how much money you need and the infrastructure — and I don’t think it’s beyond our capability or our aspirations.” Filner said Romney offered a few “reality checks,” but also a sense that his bi-national proposal is feasible. “This is not beyond our ability at least to compete,” Filner said. “One of our cities could be the basic bidder with venues being held in the other city.” Filner said a proposed, downtown sports complex where the San Diego Chargers would be based might also be a place where Olympic events are held. “We have some venues (but) we’ll have to build other

PAGE 19

venues, so that’s a kind of (reality) check — and it’s going to be a long process,” he said. “We would have to figure out as two cities, what are our assets, not just in infrastructure, but in culture, in environment? How can we help each other multiply those assets?” Filner said he believes the bi-national Olympics could also help garner federal support for reconfiguration and revitalization of the border that would make international trade easier. “We are the biggest bi-national metropolitan area in the world, and we don’t talk about it or stress it or take advantage of it enough as a city,” he said, adding that as much as 35 to 40 percent of San Diegans have roots in Mexico. “The border is a cul de sac in California, instead of being … a center of culture, of energy, of dynamism. … People pay incredible amounts of money to go on cruises and to go traveling to get that bi-national experience. Here we have it, and yet we haven’t taken advantage of it.”

OBITUARIES

Janet Edith Lamborghini 1939 – 2013 Janet Edith Lamborghini died peacefully at her home in Del Mar, CA, on Sunday, May 5, 2013. She was 73. Born May 9, 1939, in Plymouth, MA, the fourth child of Gladys E. and Joseph S. Lamborghini, she attended the public schools in Plymouth before matriculating at Bryn Mawr College from which she graduated with a B.A. in biology in 1962. She worked for Professor J. David Robertson at Harvard before going on to graduate school at Tufts University from which she received her Ph.D. in biology. In 1967 she married Nicholas C. Spitzer, then a graduate student at Harvard. They went to London, England, for postdoctoral work before moving to San Diego in 1972. Her husband took up a position as a junior faculty

member in the Department of Biology at UC San Diego and Janet carried out research as a postdoctoral fellow in his lab. Over the next 15 years she published a series of influential scientific papers analyzing aspects of neuronal differentiation. Their son, Julian Elliott, was born May 29, 1980, (deceased January 25, 2012) and their daughter, Hilary St. John, was born November 23, 1984. Janet became intensively involved in the education of her children and wound up running for election to the School Board of the Del Mar Union School District. She was to be a member of the Board for 16 years (1992-2008); served as President several times and as Clerk and on many committees; and she oversaw the construction of five new schools. She was instrumental in the hiring of two superintendents, was a vigorous advocate for all students, and worked hard to maintain excellence in education during a challenging period of rapid growth. She served as a member of the original strategic planning team that created a direction for the future of DMUSD. She taught mathematics to fifth and sixth graders and was much beloved by teachers, students and parents. She served as PTA president, geography Olympiad and math coach and Dollars for Scholars treasurer at Torrey

Pines High School and was recognized for her public service with the naming of Janet Lamborghini Day on November 21, 2008. She was divorced in 2004 and enjoyed traveling in her later years. Janet had a love of music, nature and all wildlife and a physical fearlessness that she imparted to her children. She had a gift for enthusiasm, an impish wit, a passion for books and poetry, and an industrious energy that always embraced learning for her as well as for others. She was a ﬁrst-class volunteer and a hands-on philanthropist, donating largely to Dollars for Scholars as well as the ARCS Foundation Inc. and the San Diego Opera. She is survived by Hilary St. John Spitzer and Nicholas C. Spitzer of San Diego and Del Mar; brothers, Joseph Lamborghini of Durham, NH, and James Lamborghini of Melbourne, FL; also by 10 nieces and nephews; 21 great-nieces and nephews; and two great-great-nieces and nephews. There will be a memorial service for her at noon on June 29, 2013, at El Camino Memorial Park - Sorrento Valley. In lieu of ﬂowers, donations may be sent to any of the institutions listed above.

CCHS Varsity Softball wins Western League Title On May 9, in an 11-1 victory over Madison, Cathedral Catholic High School girls’ varsity softball cemented its place as 2013 Western League Champions. The girls had a rough start to the season with two starters tearing ACLs. Facing the season with a very young team, the Dons relied heavily on freshman pitcher Devyn Magnett, an impenetrable defense and a powerhouse offense to end league with an 11-1 record. Coach Mauro says, “The girls practiced hard, came together, and we did it.”

BY KAREN BILLING On May 5, on a bike loaded with 93 pounds of equipment, 71-year-old Peter Karch set off on a solo, cross-country bike trek from Carpinteria to Assateague, Virginia. Karch is not only attempting to break his own 10-yearold record but to raise funds and awareness for the nonprofit Awakenings Health Institute in Solana Beach owned by his daughter Laura Karch-Gries. A Del Mar resident, Laura, 36, who was paralyzed from the neck down at age 18 and learned to walk again, founded Awakenings as a rehabilitation facility to restore the lives and health of people challenged by paralysis. Karch aims to shave time off his record of 61 days for the 4,046 miles of unsupported, lonely, sometimes scary, sometimes sweltering ride across country. He thinks if his age is a limitation, how different is it from what his daughter’s clients face? Karch said he’s out to prove that “the only limitations you have are the goals you set for yourself.” Awakenings is a nonprofit that treats people who have suffered from strokes, spinal cord and brain injuries, and all neurological disorders, such as Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson’s disease. Several patients are young veterans of war. Awakenings offers all different kinds of physical, emotional, mental, recreational and social therapies under one roof — fitness, Chinese medicine, adaptive yoga, nutrition, massage and bodywork, cognitive therapies, social integration and therapeutic recreation. Clients apply for grants and sponsorships to go through therapies at Awakenings so the organization relies heavily on donors and community support. “99.1 percent of our clients who have left in the last eight years of business have been because of a lack of funding. That always breaks our hearts,” said Laura, noting her father’s trek is the organization’s first fundraiser in an effort to grow its financial assistance fund. “If we can get that fund to be enormous, we can help even more people… These people need so much help in every facet of life.” Laura said the people they serve have lives that were changed in the blink of an eye. The changes are not only traumatic but they are expensive — the costs of 24-hour care can escalate to over $120,000 a year and insurance often does not cover stroke or spinal cord injury victims once they leave the hospital. “It’s very hard to get the treatment that they need because they certainly can’t pay for it,” Laura said. Laura said her parents and family have always been huge supporters of Awakenings and it means so much to her that her father would put in the risky mileage to raise money and awareness for her cause. She worries, especially after watching him peddle off alone under so much weight. “It was a little scary seeing him go off,” said Laura. “But his mentality is steel. He’s a bull. If he sets out to do something, he will definitely accomplish it.” Karch is just as complimentary about his daughter. “She’s an amazing girl,” Karch said of Laura. “We convinced her that she is a motivator for the people she’s work-

Local father embarks on a cross-country bike trek to support daughter’s nonprofit, Awakenings Health Institute Laura Karch-Gries recovered from devastating injury and established Awakenings rehabilitation facility

Peter Karch is riding his bike solo across country in support of daughter Laura Karch-Gries’ nonprofit Awakenings in Solana Beach. PHOTO/KAREN BILLING ing with and they should know what she’s gone through.” The crash is still difficult for Karch to talk about, even so many years later. He and his wife were traveling in New Jersey, coming back from visiting the Karchs’ son at Columbia University. Laura was in the backseat, without her seatbelt on. She was 18 years old, on spring break from her freshman year of college at the University of Delaware. Karch said the driver of a tractor-trailer got antsy as traffic backed up on the freeway and cut into their lane. The trailer sideswiped their car, spun them, turned them around and hit them head-on. The Karchs’ car tumbled down a median and Laura was thrown out 32 feet. Laura had broken her neck and was paralyzed from the neck down. All of her life, Laura had

been an athlete. She loved exercising and played tennis, soccer and softball. She had never been in a hospital before her accident and with the gift of youth and not knowing any better, she was undaunted when the doctor said she would not walk again without some kind of assistance device and that her rehabilitation would be the hardest workout she had ever done. “I was 18 and the only thing I cared about was getting back to college,” Laura said. “Had I been told that today, my recovery might not have been the same. I was naïve to a lot of things. A lot of patients will come into our program who were told they will never walk again and they decide that they can’t and they never tried.” It wasn’t that rehab was easy — it definitely was the hardest workout of her life but she attacked rehab with a tenacity and determination that her father called “unparalleled.” He said that when the therapists left at the end of a session, Laura would stay and do it herself. Laura sat up for the first time six days after the accident and was only in the hospital for 12 days before eventually learning to walk again at a rehab center in Allentown. She wore a halo for three months, followed by hard and soft collars. A year after her accident she made it a point to walk on her own into that doctor’s office, just to prove to him he was wrong. She said that doctor has never again told a patient they won’t walk again. Of her remarkable recovery, Laura said in a 1995 article: “I guess I’m a fighter and very stubborn.” She might have inherit-

ed that stubbornness from her father. Peter has been riding a bike since he was 5 years old. This journey across country isn’t his first exercise in the extreme— he and his sons did a rugged hike through the Appalachians and he’s done the same cross country trip he is doing now 10 years ago. That knowledge of what it will be like is helpful but he also knows exactly how hard it will be. “This side is terrible,” Karch said of the first part of the journey. “The first three to four days are a shock to the system.” Starting out riding south out of Santa Barbara it’s a steady climb to sea level and then it’s the Mohave Desert. Across Nevada the weather can be “a killer,” he said. Karch added that at the time of his last ride it was 110 degrees every day. It drops to the high ‘90s in mid-Kansas but then the humidity goes up “something terrible.” He left two weeks earlier this time to lessen the heat possibility. He fears snakes because if he is bitten he will be far away from a hospital and he also is a little leery of people, being out there all alone. He aims to average about 70 to 90 miles a day, rising early at 3:30 a.m. to be on the road by 5 a.m. He is confident that he will beat his time and has stayed in shape by walking three miles a day and swimming in addition to cycling. “I’m a biologist and I’ve taught biology all my life and one thing I always told my students is that we’re all a unique set of genes and no one will ever be you,” Karch said. “I want to do someSee BIKE, Page B22

Conner’s Cause for Children to present ‘Summer Breeze’ luncheon, boutique and auction

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY KATHY DAY Grief finds a way of evolving as the years pass, and sometimes helping others who faced some of the same issues helps a person move forward. Carmel Valley residents Judy and John Champ, whose son Conner died in 1994 — just a year after being diagnosed with brain cancer — find solace in helping other families with very sick children. They started Conner’s Cause for Children in 1995 and today they keep the organization alive with the assistance of friends, donors and a board that organizes three events a year. Right now, they’re making final preparations for “Summer Breeze,” a luncheon, boutique and auction set for 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. June 2 at the Rancho Santa Fe Golf Club. The gathering will feature Elin Stebbins Waldal, an award-winning local author who will talk about “Midlife in Full Swing – What are you doing for the rest of your life.” Harpist Julia Marie Schorn, a Canyon Crest

Conner Champ at age 3 Academy senior and principal harpist of the Symphony Orchestra and Philharmonia of the San Diego Youth Symphony and Conservatory, will perform. Proceeds from this event will benefit Conner’s Cause for Children, which helps families with the monumental task of caring for a child with a lifethreatening illness. Judy Champ talked about how their life was turned upside down when they found out Conner, then 4, had only a year or two to live.

“You barely have the strength to breathe when you know your child is dying,” she said. John Champ is a graphic designer and the couple had what his wife said was “normal” income and they had insurance. “But so much is not covered by insurance,” Judy said. Parents of Conner’s preschool friends pitched in and held an event that raised more than $42,000 to help them out. After Conner died, there was still money in the fund so they decided to use it to “help other kids,” Judy said. “The last thing you want to worry about is money … You want to be comfortable and be with your child and love that child.” Today, Conner’s Cause fills a niche not met by other nonprofits, providing small things like gas and grocery cards, paying hotel and airline bills, she said. Sometimes Executive Director Carol Del Signore will even call an insurance company and ask for assistance. All of the children

served are under 18 and live in San Diego, Imperial and parts of Riverside County, but come to San Diego for their care. One family now getting assistance from Conner’s Cause has two children with severe medical issues, Judy said. Their young daughter has had 50 surgeries for recurrent respiratory papillomatosis and their son has Duchenne’s Muscular Dystrophy and is followed by a clinic in Ohio, as well as a drug trial at UC Davis. On top of that, the parents both lost their jobs last year. Keeping Conner’s Cause going takes a lot of work and a lot of small donations, said Del Signore. They get a few grants from other foundations but no public funding so events like the June 2 Summer Breeze — which is expected to be sold out as it was last year — play a big part in their ability to help families. Even if people can’t join them for the June 2 event, donations of a Target, gas or grocery card are appreciated. The event will feature

Event sponsors include Robert Kearney, M.D.; Tonya Paul, Masterpiece Realty; Karen Penn, Avon Cosmetics; Laurie Chamberlin, Xocai Healthy Chocolate, and Total Woman Gym in Encinitas. “It’s an opportunity for friends to get together for an elegant Sunday afternoon of lunch and shopping for a great cause,” Del Signore said.

Del Mar Little League â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Snack Shackâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; a home run â&#x20AC;&#x201D; volunteers still needed BY GLORIA LIMAS AN The Del Mar Little League (DMLL), which is now two baseball leagues, American and National, has opened up a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Snack Shackâ&#x20AC;? to help raise funds this year. The idea was presented by DMLL board members Larry Jackel and Joe Caprice who enlisted the help of a steering committee. Seven volunteers head up the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Snack Shackâ&#x20AC;? endeavor. They are Lisa Miramontes, Jen Eastlack, Katie Wilsey, Rebecca Klein, Rachael Schreier, Audrey Jackel, and Erin Anderson. Eastlack has four players in the league and says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I like this new addition because it gives the kids a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;home-townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; feel to the little league. Players and their families can hang out at the field, before and after their games, while having a hot dog or snack.â&#x20AC;? The league fundraiser allows the sponsoring snack parent to pay $20 to the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Snack Shackâ&#x20AC;? instead of bringing snacks to the game. In return, they are given tickets to distribute amongst team members at a discount. Each player is given a ticket worth $2 to use towards any of the items at the snack tables. Volunteers staff the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Snack Shackâ&#x20AC;? in two shifts, morning from 8 a.m. until noon and afternoon until 5 p.m. There is always a oneto-one adult and child ratio

DMLL Snack Shack volunteers Melanie, Gloria and Danny Limas An. and adults assist the younger volunteers when handling hot food. Typically, it consists of two parents and two baseball league players who do not have game times during duty. AA Hooks baseball player Danny An has served as a volunteer twice during the season and says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;My favorite part is when people order multiple things and I have to do the math in my head to give them a total. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s like mental math from school! Then I always try to up sale!â&#x20AC;? Ryan Bouzon, who plays on the AA Sea Dogs says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s good to have snacks right after the games because players are hot and thirsty.â&#x20AC;? He adds, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everyone on our team looks forward to snack time because there is so much to choose from and we are so hungry!â&#x20AC;? Food items include hot dogs and cheese nachos. Other items that are offered include waters, sodas, Gatorade, Otter Pops, chips, peanuts, granola bars, trail mix, candy and fruit. The Village Mill Bakery, located in the Del Mar Heights Town Center, is one of the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Snack Shackâ&#x20AC;? muffin providers. Parents of DMLL players are thrilled at the idea of a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Snack Shack.â&#x20AC;? Kristin Watkins, who has two players on the league, says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;The kids love the variety of snacks so they can choose exactly what they want. It makes game days easier for the parents as you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to shop for snacks that will make the players as well as their parents happy. Also, it eliminates the worry about providing snacks for kids with

The league split into American and National leagues at the beginning of this season with participants on the north side of State Route 56 becoming members of the National league and those on the south side joining the National league.

Naked Cafe keeps it simple, natural and casual BY KELLEY CARLSON cross the street from Fletcher Cove Beach Park in Solana Beach is the original Naked Cafe, where the fare is au naturel and the tables are rarely bare. This popular yet laid-back eatery with four locations in San Diego County focuses on sustainability in everything from its cuisine to its décor. It’s very casual, with dark wood floors and bamboo walls, artwork created from scrap metal, and picturesque photos snapped by local residents. Patrons relax and watch people frolicking at the beach across the street, while chatting with their neighbors over the sounds of light adult alternative melodies, and sipping mugs of Pumpkin Spice Coffee Latte. Meanwhile, their kids keep busy with crayons and paper. When the weather is consistently warm, the glass windows are removed and the plastic is rolled up, converting the dining room into a patio. The food itself is whole food-based and simple, and many of the dishes are prepared by grilling or steaming. “You can pick out (the ingredients) one by one if you have a refined palate,” owner Gabe Wheeler said. “It’s simple, but in a way complex, because of the time (it takes to prepare).” The Naked Cafe makes its own breads and sauces and can customize items as needed. A legend on the menu — which is identical

■ This week’s recipe: Naked Café’s Papaya and Mango Mint Salsa at all four of the restaurant’s locations — identifies vegan and gluten-free entrees, along with products that contain nuts. It breaks down its dishes into several categories, such as “Look Good Naked” — foods that are more “figure-friendly.” “You know how many calories you’re taking in,” Wheeler explained. These include Wheeler’s favorite, the Soy Chorizo, Avocado & Egg White Burritos with black beans, green onions, tomatoes and salsa wrapped in whole-grain tortillas; and the Pesto Scramble featuring four egg whites combined with pesto, green onions and diced tomatoes, and served with grilled zucchini, mixed baby organic greens and a whole-grain spinach tortilla.

The day is winding down in the Naked Cafe’s dining room/patio. Then, there’s the “Naked Experience” foods, which aren’t quite as “light,” but still stay true to the simplicity concept. For example, the Green & Red Pagoda is composed of rosemary toast layered with pesto, soy sausage, two over-medium eggs, avocado, artichoke hears and sun-dried tomatoes, and it comes with a side of mixed baby greens. The “Infused Dishes” are mildly spicy and include Sesame Ginger Chicken Soft Tacos that can be substituted with tofu. The filling is enveloped in two whole-grain tortillas with baby greens and Thai peanut sauce, and served with black beans and coconut brown rice. Customers who want a bit more control

Popular Burger Lounge a hit since opening at Flower Hill Promenade BY KAREN BILLING One of the most often used “buzz” terms in the restaurant world right now is “fast casual”— an eatery where the food comes out quick but is high in quality and served up in a space that, while relaxed, treats every customer as a valued guest. Burger Lounge, the latest new business to open up in the refreshed Flower Hill Promenade, sits comfortably in that fast casual niche. With its growing chain of restaurants, the Lounge offers the “original grass-fed burger” — healthy and authentic tastes, sustainable and green business practices and “superlative” guest services. “Our goal is that every guest leave happier than when they arrived,” said Robert Lane, marketing director. The first Burger Lounge opened in La Jolla in 2007, founded by J. Dean Loring and Mike Gilligan. The son and grandson of butchers, Loring started his first restaurant company at age 17 with a remodeled cable car/food truck in San Francisco. He ran a burger restaurant in Humboldt County before coming south and opening Cody’s in La Jolla in 1998 – but he always wanted to get back into the burger business. With his neighbor Gilligan, a banker, he opened the Burger Lounge in La Jolla, the first of what

Burger Lounge opened on April 19 in Flower Hill Promenade. Photo/Karen Billing would be seven San Diego-area eateries. In addition to Del Mar, there are locations in Hillcrest, Kensington, Little Italy, Coronado and the Gaslamp. There are now 10 Burger Lounges open and one under construction in Brentwood, as the restaurant broke into the crowded Los Angeles market a year and a half ago. Burger Lounge restaurants can be found in Beverly Hills, Santa Monica and West Hollywood. “North County San Diego is a natural fit for the progression of our company. We’re very selective about the locations we pick, it has to be a good mix of residential,

The star of the eatery’s Lounge Burger is the fresh, single-source American grass-fed beef.

commercial and tourism,” said Lane. “With the recent remodel of Flower Hill and the commitment the management has made to upgrade, we felt like this was a good place for us to be.” The restaurant has an outdoor patio with orange umbrella-covered tables and inside the look is sleek and modern with orange vinyl booths, dark wood benches and white tabletops. Customers order at a walk-up counter but Burger Lounge is known for its full service after the order, with staff circulating to offer “superlative” service. One of the restaurant’s mottos when it comes to the menu is “no junk all food”— the burgers are handcrafted with 100 percent fresh, single source American grass-fed beef. “The grass-fed beef movement has become more prevalent as consumers are paying more attention to the food they put in their body, especially in the fast casual space,” Lane said. The great thing about having relationships with the partners the Burger Lounge owners source their ingredients from is that they’re able to develop the types of products they would like to have. They worked with their cheese company Rumiano Cheese (the oldest familyowned cheese company in

the state) to develop a line of grass-fed organic cheeses. Everything at Burger Lounge is scratch-made. “The whole menu isn’t organic but it is as sustainable and organic as it can be from our proprietary bun recipe to our house-made 1000 Island dressing,” Lane said. The result is a taste that is unmistakably authentic. The most popular burger on the menu is the signature Lounge Burger, which comes with choice of organic American or cheddar cheese, fresh or grilled onion, lettuce, tomato and 1000 Island dressing. Burger Lounge also does a free-range turkey burger and an organic quinoa veggie burger, made with quinoa, brown rice, corn, zucchini, garbanzo beans and carrots. “This is a great veggie burger, it’s not a beef wannabe,” Lane said. “It stands alone as a great menu item.” Side options include French fries and onion rings cooked in 100 percent refined peanut oil and, as it is called on the menu, a “nice little side salad.” Burger Lounge also offers “truly healthy salads” as an entrée choice: A fresh vegetable salad and an organic quinoa salad packed with quinoa, spinach, kale, arugula, roasted baby squash, corn, tomato, red onion, toasted al-

monds and feta with a housemade smoked tomato vinaigrette. Organic cane sweetened Maine Root sodas are on tap, as well as local craft beer and premium wine. The menu also includes chocolate, vanilla, coffee and brownie shakes made exclusively with Dreyer’s ice cream. The menu is kept relatively simple but Burger Lounge does offer a limited edition burger series that changes with the seasons. In season right now is the spring lamb burger, with melted asedero cheese, jalapeño relish and tomatillo green chile aioli. Other limited editions have included game such as bison, boar and elk. Since the April 19 opening at Flower Hill Promenade, Burger Lounge has enjoyed a wonderful response and Lane said it is proof of the perfect fit. “Over the last two years the majority of our growth existed in Los Angeles and this is the first San Diego store to open in the last two years,” Lane said. “It’s nice to open in a city where the brand is wellknown and well-received.” Visit Burger Lounge at 2720 Via de la Valle in Flower Hill Promenade, open every day from 10:30 a.m. to 10 p.m. For more information, visit burgerlounge.com

Since 2010, the Teen Driving Safety 5k Team comprised of SDUHSD students, has put on annual events to help raise awareness of the possible dangers of inexperienced and/or distracted teen driving.

This annual event has been a 5k run/walk at Moonlight Beach in Encinitas followed by a booth fair with various organizations represented. However, this year, Moonlight Beach is under construction so the event venue and format has been changed. Speakers from several public agencies and individuals who have been impacted by tragic accidents resulting from irresponsible driving will be featured again this year. It is to be held as a fair with speakers, booths, food and festivities. All SDUHSD and EUSD families are welcome to attend; the event is free and open to the public. There will be music and free food for those who stay through the speakers. To RSVP on Facebook, go to http://goo.gl/Objxs.

CV resident to use birthday milestone to raise money and awarenss about autism at May 23 event Don’t miss Del Mar Rotary Club’s

Curtis Gabhart, a decade-long resident of Carmel Valley, contemplated the inevitable, upcoming celebration of his milestone 40th birthday with a unique idea on how to party. Grateful for the numerous gifts and blessings life in San Diego has given him, the idea of “giving back” seemed like the perfect way to commemorate the day. Gabhart has found that in his professional and personal network of friends and family it seemed everyone was impacted by autism. Gabhart, the CEO of Gabhart Investment Inc. (GII) in San Diego, decided to ask his friends, family and vast professional contacts in the real estate industry to help him celebrate his birthday by giving back. “40 For A Cause” will be held on Thursday, May 23, to not only commemorate Gabharts’s milestone day but, more importantly, to raise — hopefully— $40,000 for a San Diego non-profit, Autism Tree Project Foundation. The night promises to be filled with food, drinks, music, silent auction, raffles and door prizes. To purchase tickets or donate 40 For A Cause go to: www.40ForACause.com This event is being hosted at the latest GII’s luxury renovation project, The Surfrider, located in the Del Mar Beach Colony.

Boasting four state-of-the-art dance studios in a newly designed space, RDA has continued to evolve into a thriving “second home” for many young dancers. “A great way to know that your child is in a caring, nurturing environment,” says Garton about the atmosphere she has worked hard to create at RDA. “Many of the dancers spend many hours in our studio, dancing and socializing with friends in between classes. I am very proud to be able to present this safe and vibrant environment for these young dancers to thrive. It’s their second home,” Garton said. RDA is located in its new facility at the Piazza Carmel in Carmel Valley, next to Ace Hardware (3810 Valley Centre Dr, San Diego, CA 92130).

When Fancy Nancy visits Del Mar everyone has fun The Del Mar Foundation, in partnership with the Friends of the Del Mar Library, welcomed Fancy Nancy illustrator Robin Preiss Glasser to the Del Mar Powerhouse for a splendiferous Fancy Nancy Adventure on April 28. The event highlights were a special presentation by the illustrator, fun activities including a parade around Powerhouse Park, a tiara craft courtesy of the Del Mar Library and fancy hairdos donated by the stylists of Pigtails & Crewcuts, a childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s hair salon in Flower Hill Mall. The participation in this event included over 300 children, parents and grandparents; many dressed in feathers and sequins to celebrate the visit of the creator of this beloved series of books. The grand finale of the afternoon was a party on the terrace at the Del Mar Plaza where families were able to have their Fancy Nancy books autographed by Robin Preiss Glasser, enjoy ice cream, lemonade and cookies, and make bracelets for the group Beads of Courage, Inc. a nonprofit organization helping children during treatment for serious illnesses. This event, organized by the Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Committee of the Del Mar Foundation, would not have been possible without the assistance of the volunteers from the San Dieguito Chapter of the National Charity League, a mother-daughter philanthropic organization, the staff of the City of Del Mar and the management of the Del Mar Plaza.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s time to beef it up for National Burger Month The Kitchen Shrink

Grass-fed lamb burger PHOTO/BURGER LOUNGE

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quintessential food of all seasons â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the mighty burger that can be tricked out with more combinations than a SuperLotto ticket â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is being honored with its designated holiday in May. Burger beginnings Burgers have seamlessly assimilated into American food culture, but actually originated in the lands of the Tartar, Mongol and Turkic tribes. These nomadics cleverly ground their tough Asian beef to make it more palatable (and prevent broken jaws!) Eaten raw, this became the precursor to steak â&#x20AC;&#x153;tartar.â&#x20AC;? The ground beef concept was passed on to the Russian Tartars who in turn introduced it to the Germanics in the 14th century. The Germans â&#x20AC;&#x153;beefed it upâ&#x20AC;? with their own regional condiments, making a popular dish among the lower classes in Hamburg, ergo the name â&#x20AC;&#x153;hamburger.â&#x20AC;? Grass vs. grain Since cows are ruminants with stomachs comprised of four compartments, they are natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lawnmowers, naturally digesting cellulose, including hay, grass and cornstalks â&#x20AC;&#x201D; not grain. According to Douglas Lindamood, owner of so Calâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s health-conscious SonRise Ranch, â&#x20AC;&#x153;More important than buying organic beef is to make sure the cows were grass-fed. Organic cows could still be grainfed, that raises the acidic levels in their rumens (stomachs), producing an environment where dangerous, acid resistant E. coli can flourish.â&#x20AC;? We know all about that infamous foe when passed to a human.

So where possible, buy grass-fed beef. Beefless beauties For those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do bovine, not to despair as all food groups have an equal opportunity to earn their grill marks. Choose the savory immune-boosting lamburger which pairs well with Mediterranean toppings such as feta, black olive tapenade and refreshing yogurt dill sauce. Pollitarians can enjoy chicken or turkey burgers done all-American with grilled red onions, heirlooms and kicky barbecue sauce or tart cranberry mustard. For pescavores, firm fish like mahi mahi or wildcaught salmon are best patty choices nicely topped with Asian accompaniments like daikon radishes and wasabi mayo. Move over soy, vegetariansâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; choices include quinoa burgers with roasted peppers, wild mushroom patties or mixed veggie burgers packed with brown rice, barley, roasted beets and shiitakes thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s sweet, savory and divine. Canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t top that While burgers are traditionally topped with mustard, ketchup, sliced onions, tomatoes, pickles and assorted melted cheeses, some regional toppings found include such hum-dingers as curry mayo and mango, peanut butter and bacon, foie gras, Beluga and chopped red onions, pulled barbecue pork, fried eggs and mac and cheese balls.

trade Burger meisters can perfect their craft with such state-of-the art gizmos as hickory-infused cedar planks, digital burger thermometers that register the doneness of meats including beef, lamb and turkey, steel-coated burger baskets that keep the guys intact on the grill, and patty presses that uniformly shape burgers while giving the option of stuffing them with such goodies as shredded cheeses and grilled veggies. How locals do it So Calâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Burger Lounge is hosting a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Burger Love Tourâ&#x20AC;? at their locations offering a â&#x20AC;&#x153;buy one burger, treat a friend to a free burgerâ&#x20AC;? deal, culminating in their newest location in Del Mar (Flower Hill Promenade) on National Burger Day (May 28). Choices include the grass-fed beef Lounge Burger, Free-Range Turkey, Organic Quinoa Veggie Burger or the seasonal grass-fed Lamb Burger dressed in Asadero Cheese, Jalapeno Relish and Tomatillo-Green Chile Mayo. Also check out: â&#x20AC;˘Beaumontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Eatery (La Jolla) for a three-meat patty blend mixed with sun-dried tomatoes, topped with balsamic-glazed onions, feta and basil aioli. â&#x20AC;˘Rancho Valenciaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Rancho Burger topped with house-cured pancetta, sundried tomato remoulade and black truffle aioli. â&#x20AC;˘La Jollaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Herringbone for an Albacore and Avocado Burger, and Fashion Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s True Food Kitchen for a Grass-fed Bison Burger dressed with umami, mushroom and mayo on a flax seed bun.

K. Ann Brizolis is #1 in San Diego For the first quarter of 2013, K. Ann Brizolis ranked #1 in sales production out of 1,300 Prudential California Realty agents throughout San Diego County. A real estate market leader for 23 years, Brizolis and her associates were also honored recently as the team that ranked eighth in the U.S. out of more than 54,000 Prudential agents for 2012, and were among the top 100 real estate agents nationwide, according to The Wall Street Journal. When asked about her incredible track record of sales achievements, Brizolis credited her team members for their dedication and professionalism and her clients for their continued loyalty. “Our strategy for success is simple; we focus upon the needs of our clients, above everything else.” Brizolis and her team have earned a reputation for ethics, integrity and service. “We are very proud of the awards and milestones

BIKE continued from page B1 thing different that no one’s done before, just to say that I’m me. “I believe that if you want to enjoy the pinnacles of life, you have to resist traveling the routes of least resistance. Resist taking the easy route. There’s fantastic things out there, you have to be able to let yourself do them,” Karch said. “As you get older, do things that are a little harder and there’s some pleasure in that.” As with any endurance activity, finding the motivation to keep moving forward becomes a challenge. “When I’m on the road and it’s 100 degrees out and it’s an 8 percent incline with 70 pounds of baggage, you ask yourself why. There’s 1,000 reasons not to do it and one reason to do it,” Karch said. I can’t tell you how much the syncopation and the cadence of the pedaling, the stripes on the road, give you a rhythm that helps you maintain. It’s hard but you tell yourself, ‘just give me 50 more strokes.’ And I think of Laura too. I’ve always told her she’s my idol.” Laura had aimed to be a professional tennis player but when she realized it wouldn’t be a reality after her accident, she had designs on opening a destination tennis club and spa. She moved out to California in 2001 and began working at a day spa. One day a man came in who was in a wheelchair. Up

K. Ann Brizolis we have achieved. We believe they confirm that our clients value the expertise we provide them.” With a majority of her business originating from referrals and repeat clients, Brizolis has consistently ranked at the top half of 1 percent of Prudential agents nationwide. Based in Prudential’s Rancho Santa Fe office, she specializes in the sale of fine homes and estate properties throughout “The Ranch” and the surrounding communities. until that point, Laura did not identify herself as a person with a spinal cord injury but after speaking to the man, she couldn’t sleep that night and realized that she needed to be working with that population. She started Awakenings as a nonprofit in 2003 and began working with people in their homes in 2004. In 2005, she opened the doors to Awakenings, a destination club of sorts. Thanks to a grant from Home Depot, the Solana Beach location is about to get a complete overhaul in June. “Our success rate with spinal cord injuries has been phenomenal here,” Laura said. “We’re able to help them get rid of all or most of their caregiving costs.” For Laura there’s no greater feeling than when she sees a client who was unable to walk when they came in be able to walk out without a wheelchair. “They can return to their lives again but they still have to work on it. It’s hard work to do this,” Laura said. “Taking the first step is not the end of rehab, it actually means rehab is going to become a lot more intense and they have many, many years ahead of them.” Even a two -week vacation could set patients back. “The walking stories are major successes but we get ones that are not as tangible as walking or living completely independent,” said Laura. She told of one client who came in suicidal and depressed and wouldn’t

“Ann has an extensive client network and many years of experience,” said Ron Sparks, manager of Prudential Rancho Santa Fe. “In addition, her knowledge, skills and solid reputation have placed her at the top of the Rancho Santa Fe real estate market for many years. She has worked incredibly hard to get where she is today, so it’s always a pleasure to see her excel.” Brizolis, a broker associate, completed a degree in Business Administration and Marketing from California State Polytechnic University Pomona. Her proficiency in navigating the upper tier of the real estate marketplace earned her the title of Director for Prudential’s Luxury Division. K. Ann Brizolis and Associates may be reached at 858-756-6355, via email at ann@kabrizolis.com, or on the web at www.kabrizolis. com.

even look at herself in a mirror after a traumatic car accident. She was with Awakenings for six years and has turned her life around, is now married and able to lead a happy life. Laura said the impact of results like that cannot be measured. Like her clients, Laura’s recovery is ongoing and she knows she has to keep herself moving, even on days when she feels weak. She still does not feel most sensations in her body and will have the occasional problem with gait, but she doesn’t let it stop her from running Awakenings, walking, swimming and doing yoga. She is also four-and-ahalf months pregnant. Laura admits she used to feel a lot of guilt that she was able to get up and walk away from what happened to her. “I got so wrapped up in it and everybody I saw I had to help them, I never slept and I ran myself ragged trying to save the world,” Laura said. “I realized I can’t save the world. I got comfortable with that fact, as long as I’m making something good out of [her recovery].” Somewhere in the middle of the country is a man alone on a cycle, thinking of her with each push of the peddle; thinking as much about her journey as the one that lies ahead of him. “I’m so proud of her,” Karch said.
