Council hears report on Del Mar’s efforts to prepare for summer season BY KRISTINA HOUCK Del Mar may be the smallest city in the county, but it is also one of the busiest in the summer. More than 1.4 million fairgoers flocked to the fairgrounds during the San Diego County Fair this year, the second-highest attendance in fair history. In addition, Del Mar’s Communi-
ty Services Department reported an estimated 77,000 people visited the city during the three-day weekend, including 31,000 people on the Fourth of July. “Readiness — for not only this busy weekend, but the entire summer — requires months of advance and careful preparation before and during the summer
months,” explained Kristen Crane, assistant to the city manager, during a report about the city’s annual preparation efforts for the summer season at the July 7 council meeting. “All the city departments, whether they’re on the frontline like community services, the fire department or public works, or those that are more be-

hind the scenes like administrative services and finance, are involved in planning for the necessary needs and responding to the increased volume of customer calls.” During the fair and race season, the sheriff’s department has additional staff at the fairgrounds, which is paid for by the 22nd District
Agricultural Association. The fire department also coordinates with other agencies in preparation for the fair and the races, while being prepared for wildfires. An additional fire engine company is staffed closer to the central area of the city on designated peak days, See SUMMER, page 14
Rafner, Gibson, Wooden to run for Del Mar school board again •Seats also up for election on SB, high school district boards BY KAREN BILLING Del Mar Union School District Board President Doug Rafner and trustees Kristin Gibson and Scott Wooden pulled papers on July 14 from the San Diego County Registrar of Voters to run for second terms on the board in the November election. Rafner said the group opted to run again to carry forward the strong momentum the district has right now; as an example, he said he was extremely proud that last month the board approved a balanced budget for 2014-15. “I think we’re doing some good things in the district,” RafSee BOARD, page 22

New plants to be added along Coastal Rail Trail in Solana Beach
The members of the Del Mar Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary are tipping their hats to the recent success of Hats Off to Children. Ladies gathered from near and far on July 9 for Hats Off to Children, a luncheon hosted by Cucina Enoteca in Del Mar and a fashion show put on by TRE Boutique, at Flower Hill Promenade. Hats and fascinators designed by Jenifer Buckley were being snapped up to be worn at Opening Day of the Races, held July 17 (after press time for this newspaper).

BY KRISTINA HOUCK The Coastal Rail Trail in Solana Beach is getting a much-needed facelift — a decade after the path was completed. In a 5-0 vote, council members on July 9 amended the city’s contract with Nissho of California, Inc. for a one-time plant replacement project along the city’s 1.7-mile segment of the trail, a path from San Diego to Oceanside. Currently, the San Diego-based company maintains the city’s landscaping, including the Coastal Rail Trail. Construction of the Coastal Rail Trail was completed in September 2004. Since then, there has been very little plant replacement, explained City Engineer Mohammad Sammak See PLANTS, page 19

All wait list freshmen are admitted to San Dieguito, Canyon Crest Academy The San Dieguito Union High School District recently sent a message out to parents that all freshman students on the wait list will be admitted to San Dieguito High School Academy and Canyon Crest Academy. In May students on the wait list had been informed no more students would be admitted although, according to the district’s message, “recent developments with our Proposition AA Master Plan have allowed us to review and slightly revise the long-term capacity for the school.” The news comes after several concerned San Dieguito Academy parents asked for change regarding the district’s school of choice and lottery policy in June after many students were not admitted to their school of choice, San Dieguito. As it now stands, all incoming ninth grade students currently on the wait list for the academies are now being offered enrollment for the 2014-15 school year. This will also include any older siblings of ninth graders also on the wait list. All admitted students will receive email communication from the school by this Friday, July 18, regarding enrollment procedures and deadlines. In order to attend SDHSA or CCA for the 2014-15 school year, newly admitted students must complete the enrollment process by the deadline. Newly admitted students who are content with their current enrollment status and wish to remain enrolled in their current school may do so. The district asked that parents not contact any of their high schools at this time, noting the schools will be in contact with them shortly.
Solana Beach’s arts commission gets new name
BY KRISTINA HOUCK Solana Beach’s Public Arts Advisory Commission has officially dropped “advisory” from its name. In January, the seven-member commission unanimously voted to request a name change. Commissioners agreed the proposed name centered on the purpose and role of the commission, which is not limited to visual arts, but encompasses all arts, including music, dance and theater. In a 5-0 vote, the City Council on July 9 approved the commission’s request. “I believe all of our commissions are advisory commissions, except for the VAC [View Assessment Commission], which is ac-
tually decision-making. None of the other ones have ‘advisory’ in the name, so I’m certainly supportive,” said Councilman David Zito. Despite the name change, the Public Arts Commission remains an advisory board like the other commissions. From implementing the city’s temporary art program, to coordinating and managing community art events, the Public Arts Commission supports the development and presentation of art in the community in a variety of ways. The commission meets at 5:30 p.m. on the fourth Tuesday of each month at City Hall.
Kaiser Permanente will again be title sponsor for Carmel Valley 5K BY KAREN BILLING The Carmel Valley 5K and Fun Run will return for its third year on Jan. 24, 2015, again sponsored by Kaiser Permanente. This year’s race will feature a new and improved course and instead of benefiting Del Mar Union School District schools only, it will raise funds for all Carmel Valley schools. The Carmel Valley Community Planning Board approved the new course, which starts and finishes on Carmel Country Road, almost right in front of the Bay Club Resort (formerly Pacific Athletic Club). The 5K will begin at 7:30 a.m. and will be a loop course, utilizing the SR-56 bike path. The 1K fun run will be an out and back course beginning at 8:30 a.m. The post-race party and expo will be held inside the Bay Club in its courtyard. This year during the registration process, runners can select from a list of schools and foundations they would like their proceeds to go toward. The sponsorship money raised will be donated to the schools as well. The list of schools and foundations to choose from includes: Del Mar Schools Education Foundation, Solana Beach Foundation, Torrey Pines High School Foundation, Canyon Crest Academy, Carmel Valley Middle School PTSA, Earl Warren PTSA, Cathedral Catholic High School, Notre Dame Academy and San Diego Jewish Academy. For more information on the 2015 Carmel Valley 5K, visit carmelvalley5K.com.
Deputies searching for man who broke into SB apartment San Diego County Sheriff’s deputies are looking for a man who broke into a Solana Beach apartment Tuesday night, July 15. Deputies from the Encinitas station responded to a call in the 100 block of Acacia near Plaza Street around 10:15 p.m. The suspect entered the victim’s apartment through an open window after dismantling the screen. Sheriff’s Lt. Christine Robbins said the resident was home during the break-in, but he was not injured. The suspect is described as a 40-year-old Hispanic man, with dark hair and a mustache. He was wearing dark clothing. Anyone with information about this incident is urged to call the Encinitas station at 760-966-3500 or Crime Stoppers at 888-5808477. — Compiled by Kristina Houck

Solana Beach resident looks to expand programs as head of the Burn Institute BY KRISTINA HOUCK Growing up can be difficult when you look different, but a local camp is giving burn survivors the chance to see beyond their scars. Every year, the Burn Institute in San Diego invites children with burn injuries to participate in Camp Beyond the Scars. About 60 campers ages 5-17 are expected to attend the Ramona-based camp during the last week of July this year. “It’s a really healthy environment for the kids to feel support, get some special attention and have the time of their life at summer camp,” said Susan Day, executive director of the Burn Institute. The nonprofit health agency is dedicated to reducing the number of burn injuries and deaths in San Diego and Imperial counties through fire and burn prevention education, burn care research and treatment, and burn survivor support services. A 23-year Solana Beach resident, Day joined the institute in January. Since then, one of her goals has
been to expand the organization’s programs, including Camp Beyond the Scars. “My hope is that I can take the Burn Institute to a new and different level,” she said. “It needs to stay relevant, and it needs to stay flexible. I’m hoping to just continue to evolve the organization.” Camp Beyond the Scars is the institute’s most notable burn survivor support program. The camp was established in 1987 and San Diego’s local Camp Beyond the Scars launched in 1994. For some, camp is the first time they see another child with burn scars, Day said. In 2013, more than 60 children attended the local camp. “We try to raise their self-esteem and give them self confidence,” said Day, who noted many of the camp volunteers are former campers, adult burn survivors or off-duty firefighters. “The wonderful thing is kids naturally help support each other.” In addition to camp, the institute educates children about fire safety and
stitute provided financial help to 50 families with loved ones in the hospital last year. “I’m just really impressed with the unique programs that we offer,” Day said. “There’s a huge feeling of contentment knowing that you’ve helped somebody, knowing that your programs are easing their pain.” A Michigan native, Day joined the institute after seven years as president of Combined Health Agencies, where she worked with 23 local health charities, including the Burn Institute, to improve the community through individual and corporate giving. She previously worked as the vice president of sales and marketing of the Better Business Bureau for a decade. She holds a bachelor’s degree in business with an emphasis in marketing from San Diego State University. “I’m honored to be part of the Burn Institute team,” Day said. Founded in 1972, the Burn Institute helped open the area’s only regional burn center at University Hospital the next year. During its first year of operation, the burn unit treated 89 patients, including 22 children. Today, the Burn Institute reaches out to thousands of children and adults each year. With six full-time employees and a few part-time employees, Day said the institute’s programs would not be possible without its roughly 160 volunteers, including a 29-member board whose president is Solana Beach City Manager David Ott. The institute also partners with UCSD Regional Burn Center, corporate sponsors, foundations and donors. “This is our hometown. This is our neighborhood. This is our community. I think that keeping everyone safe is so important,” Day said. “The Burn Institute provides me and others a unique opportunity to serve San Diego.” To donate or learn about volunteer opportunities, visit www.burninstitute.org.

In 2013, the institute reached more than 10,000 children in the classroom and sent safety information home to share with their families. With assistance from volunteers, the Senior Smoke Alarm Installation Program brought more than 1,200 homes up to fire code with more than 5,000 smoke detectors last year. The institute’s Juvenile Arson and Explosive Research and Intervention Center program offers mental health counseling to children. As the only court-approved and court-mandated juvenile firesetter diversion program in San Diego County, the program served nearly 200 children at no cost in 2013. The Burn Institute also partners with the UCSD Regional Burn Center. From gas cards to lodging assistance, the in-

TPHS teen shares love of dance with Virgin Islands Torrey Pines High School sophomore Brianna Haire brought dance classes to local kids on St. Croix and the surrounding Virgin Islands this past month. Brianna joined forces with some of the locals, plus choreographers from New York, Florida and California, for two weeks, teaching more than 200 kids ranging from ages 4 to 18. They taught ballet, contemporary, improv, jazz and hip-hop. “Most of the kids that showed up were so excited to dance and had raw talent,� Brianna said, “but lacked technique that comes from years of practice.� Brianna started dancing at age 4, but her dance career really took off last year after winning Season 1 of Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition, which aired on the Lifetime Network Channel. Brianna was crowned the winner and was awarded $100,000 and a lifetime scholarship to the Joffrey Ballet in New York City. Since the show, Brianna has been giving back, working with charities like Dance For Diabetes and The Make A Wish Foundation. But this summer’s experience “was a life changer,� she said. “Being able to share what I love with kids from another country was rewarding beyond words, and to watch them grow and learn about dance for the past two weeks will be something I will remember forever.�

Carmel Valley student publishes first book, ‘The Champions of Zairon: Cave of Mystic Dreams’ BY KAREN BILLING In her first novel, 12-year-old Sahana Kumar has created a fantasy world inhabited by shape-shifting sphinxes, orbs, enchanted candy and encounters with many things both monstrous and magical. Sahana, an imaginative incoming eighth-grader at Francis Parker School just published her first novel, “The Champions of Zairon: Cave of Mystic Dreams” about three teenagers with special powers. To help launch her book, Sahana had a book signing at Warwick’s in La Jolla on June 15 and has one scheduled for Aug. 23 at the Gallery Bookshop in Mendocino and a couple of more in San Francisco in late summer. The book is available for purchase on Amazon.com and download on iTunes, Nook and Kindle. Fifty percent of the proceeds from her book sales will also go to the Association for India’s Development,, a nonprofit that supports grassroots efforts such as setting up schools in impoverished areas. “I always really liked making up stories in my head and telling stories to my little sister, Sanjana,” said Sahana, who lives in Carmel Valley. “When I was 9, I started writing novels. Some I stopped after a few pages, some after 50 pages, but with this one I felt like I could keep the plot going, there weren’t any holes and it was fun to write.” The book tells the story of teenagers Claire, Jason and Zac, who get pulled into the world of Zairon and have to go on a quest, fighting off evil to find a mystic cave. Pages are filled with monsters and magic, potions and poignant moral dilemmas, said Dr. Holly J. Bauer, a literature professor at UC San Diego, one of the book’s reviewers. “Kumar’s first novel will impress you in its own right and even more so when you discover the author is a 12-year-old middle school student,” Bauer said. “Kumar is a natural storyteller and her richly drawn characters and intriguing setting will delight all who enter her mystical world.”
Carmel Valley’s Sahana Kumar, 12, just published her first book, “The Champions of Zairon: Cave of Mystic Dreams.” Courtesy photo Gretchen Taylor, a fellow Francis Parker student, said the book is adventurous, funny, dark and creative. “Kumar’s work is exciting and engaging, one relevant to the interests of middle grade readers. It also serves as the foundation for a complex and thrilling series of books to come,” Gretchen said in her review. Sahana has always loved to read and likes to write “anywhere and everywhere,” clicking away on her laptop while lounging in the family room, killing time in the car on road trips and even on the beach. “She reads a lot,” said her father, Prem. “To try and make sure she was reading the right books, we would read them too and try to keep up with her, but we couldn’t keep up with her.” Her parents, both engineers, knew that Sahana had been writing throughout the summer of 2013 but had no idea that she’d created a 228-page novel.
“We were very impressed when we read it,” Prem said. “For her to suddenly write a book was phenomenal.” Prem immediately started researching book publishers to find the best way to put Sahana’s story before more readers. He selected Telemachus Press, a company with a lot of experience helping small authors publish books in a professional manner. The book went through six rounds of editing, taking about four to five months. “They didn’t take away the 12-year-old charm of the book,” said her mother, Vanitha, of the copy editors. “They preserved the way kids talk and took care to make sure to not alter the style.” “It was really hard,” Sahana said of the edits, which she would tackle after finishing her homework in the evenings. A straight-“A” student, she spent the entire year working on completing the book, crammed into a busy schedule that included Science Olympiad, taking Indian classical music lessons, and playing the violin in the New Youth Orchestra. She also maintains her blog, SPKumarBooks.com, which includes posts of short stories and poems. While Sahana said the extensive editing was not as much fun as the writing part, she was happy with the finished product. “I was really excited,” she said of first seeing the published, bound copy. “It’s really different seeing it on an ereader than actually holding it.” Sahana believes that “Cave” is just the beginning of the Zarion series, and she is already pretty far along on the next book. “I want to keep writing, but not as a career, because ever since I was little I’ve wanted to be a doctor,” Sahana said. “I will keep writing as a hobby.” To learn more about “Cave of Mystical Dreams” or buy the book, visit SPKumarBooks.com.

Local residents gather for Summit4StemCell project fundraiser to help battle Parkinson’s disease Fundraising deadline is Nov. 4 to continue research for groundbreaking treatment BY STACEY PHILLIPS A small group of San Diego residents diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease have the opportunity to take part in a cutting-edge treatment using cell replacement therapy that could be the first of its kind worldwide and revolutionize the way other life-threatening diseases are treated. Doctors, scientists, Parkinson’s patients and their friends and families gathered July 9 at a private local residence for a fundraiser to learn more about the Summit4StemCell project and help raise the $2.5 million needed by Nov. 4 to continue the research. (See more event photos on page 7.) Nearly $1 million was raised at the event, which was hosted by Jeffrey Strauss, the executive chef
and owner of Pamplemousse Grille in Solana Beach, and Ray and Jenifer Raub. Ray said his wife, Jenifer, was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and the Summit4StemCell project is giving them hope. “We believe in the project, we believe in the science. We think it works,” said Ray Raub. “We truly have hope and think this is going to work.” The Summit4StemCell research is based on taking adult skin cells and transforming them into useful cells that could replace lost or diseased ones. This concept was discovered by Japanese scientist Shinya Yamanaka in 2007 and received the Nobel Prize in Medicine in 2012. The San Diego research team includes Dr. Jeanne

Pat and Sharon McDonnell, Jerry Henberger (Executive Director of the Parkinson’s Association) Loring, director of the Center for Regenerative Medicine at the Scripps Research Institute in La Jolla; Dr. Andres Bratt-Leal, Ph.D., the senior scientist for the project in association with the Parkinson’s Association; and Dr. Melissa Houser, director of the Movement Disorder Center at La Jolla’s Scripps Clinic. “Every single patient I’ve seen over nine years got worse,” said Sherrie Gould, a nurse practitioner at the Movement Disorder Center who works with Houser. “We have an opportunity to change that. What we are doing is going to change history.” Parkinson’s disease is a progressive disorder of the nervous system. It is mainly due to the loss of a single cell type: dopamine-producing neurons. Dopamine is the chemical that helps regulate movement and concentration. Treatments for Parkinson’s include medication and brain surgery, both of which have limitations. Over the past couple of years, scientists have developed methods to use a patient’s own skin cells to produce “pluripotent” stem
cells, which are stem cells that can form any cell type in the body. These are matured into dopamine neurons, the same cells lost in Parkinson’s disease. The next step is to inject them back into Parkinson’s patients to treat their symptoms, which requires FDA approval and further clinical studies. “We could be the first ones in the entire world to use these new types of stem cells, so we can actually treat patients with their own cells, their own induced pluripotent stem cells,” said Bratt-Leal, the senior scientist working on the project with a team of four others in Loring’s lab. Since the stem cells come from the patient’s own skin cells, there is less chance of rejection by the patient’s immune system. Rancho Santa Fe resident Chris Whitmer, diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in 2007, is one of eight Parkinson’s patients of Houser’s who have volunteered for the clinical pilot trial at Scripps Clinic. All the patients are from California, and seven are from San Diego.

Tom and Beth Joyce, Sherrie Gould “It’s an honor and a privilege to be one of the eight chosen for the clinical trials,” said Whitmer. “It’s scary and exciting at the same time. This is the future for treatment of Parkinson’s and many other diseases.” He said that over the past seven years, his symptoms — shaking of his right hand, arm, leg and foot, stiff muscles, impaired balance, as well as problems sleeping — have become worse. He said that before he learned about the Summit4StemCell project, his outlook was pretty bleak. “It will give me and my family my life back free of this crippling disease.” Scientists have already been able to successfully create the dopamine-producing neurons from eight of Houser’s Parkinson’s patients, and tested the neurons in the lab and in animals. Bratt-Leal said they have cured Parkinson’s disease in rats in their first preliminary study. “The exciting part is that we’ve done that with our own patients’ cells and now we can move
Mike and Mary Lenihan
forward and finish the studies that we need to do for the FDA,” he said. The Summit4StemCell team is looking to raise $2.5 million to apply for a matching grant from the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine in La Jolla. Bratt-Leal said the $5 million would be used to finish the studies to support an application for FDA approval. The institute would also provide funds for overhead costs. All donations are tax-deductible, and 100 percent of the money will go toward research for this project. “The sooner we can through the FDA and get our eight patients going, the sooner that the procedure is going to be available to everybody,” said Raub. The cell replacement therapy will also pave the way to help other untreatable disorders such as diabetes, macular degeneration, heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s and ALS. Bratt-Leal said that the Summit4StemCell is a unique project because people have donated their time, skills and money to support it. “I think it has really become a community project that San Diego can be proud of and excited about,” he said. “This is a San Diego research project that really has a chance to change how we do medicine.” Find more information about the Summit4StemCell project, upcoming fundraisers and how to donate at http://www.summit4stemcell.org/.

Top author Daniel Silva to kick off 2014 Jewish Book Fair BY KRISTINA HOUCK In celebration of its 20th year, the San Diego Jewish Book Fair is kicking off its summer book fair July 24 with a special event featuring award-winning author Daniel Silva at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center in La Jolla. “I hope it is an entertaining evening,” Silva said. “A writer spends months and months and months locked in a room working on something alone, and then you bring it into the world. You really have no idea what to expect. I enjoy this time of year when I get to spend a little time with my readers.” During “A Conversation With Daniel Silva,” Silva will chat about his latest novel “The Heist.” His 17th novel follows art restorer and sometime Israeli secret agent Gabriel Allon, a character featured in many of Silva’s novels. “Because of the nature of the character, the alliances that he has, the friendships that he has, he is called upon by lots of different people to do very interesting and very different kinds of jobs,” Silva said. “I think that’s how I keep it fresh.” In the latest tale of intrigue and espionage, Allon searches for a stolen Caravaggio painting. The story takes him from Italy and France, to London, Austria and Geneva. “I always wanted to write about this missing Caravaggio,” said Silva, who noted that the famous “Nativity with St. Francis and St. Lawrence” was stolen in 1969 from Sicily. “It’s truly one of the most iconic stolen artworks in the world.” Although Silva’s thrillers are fiction, many of his story ideas are derived from facts — something for which he credits his journalism background. Born in Michigan and raised in California, Silva said he realized early he wanted to become a writer. While pursuing a master’s degree, Silva received a temporary job offer from United Press International to help cover the 1984 Democratic National Convention in San Francis-

co. Later that year, he joined UPI full time, working in San Francisco, then on the foreign desk in Washington, and finally as a Middle East correspondent in Cairo and the Persian Gulf. He later
worked for CNN. Silva released his first novel, “The Unlikely Spy,” in 1996. In 1997, he left CNN to pursue writing full time. “Every single day I write sentences or paragraphs or small scenes or exchanges of dialogue that I’m either very proud of, pleased with or just make me laugh,” Silva said. “I’m not sure there are many other jobs quite like that.” “A Conversation with Daniel Silva” begins at 7 p.m. July 24 at the David and Dorothea Garfield Theatre at the Jewish Community Center, 4126 Executive Drive in La Jolla. Tickets cost $32. Jewish Community Center member tickets cost $27. Tickets include a signed copy of “The Heist.” For information and to buy tickets, call 858-3621348 or visit www.sdjbf.org.

De Anza DAR holds American history essay contest The National Society of the Daughters of the American Revolution announces its annual American History Essay Contest to celebrate America’s history. All fifththrough eighth-grade students in public, private, and parochial schools or those who are home-schooled are eligible to participate. Students may also independently submit essays directly to the judging committee. Marking the 125th anniversary of Ellis Island as an immigration station, the topic for the 2014-2015 academic year is “A Child’s Journey Through Ellis Island.” On a typical day, immigrants arriving on the island could expect to spend up to seven hours in processing activities intended to determine whether or not they were legally and medically fit to enter the United States. Essayists are asked to imagine they are a child traveling through Ellis Island in 1892 and how they would describe their experience to a cousin who had never heard of Ellis Island. Essays are judged for historical accuracy, adherence to the topic, organization of materials, interest, originality, spelling, grammar, punctuation, and neatness. The top winner from each grade will receive a medal, a certificate and a cash award from the De Anza Chapter as well as the opportunity to advance in the state and national competition. A colonial tea and awards ceremony will be held to recognize the winning students, parents, teachers and principals. Schools and individuals may contact the De Anza Chapter essay committee chairman Jennifer Anklesaria at 619-985-5440 for contest rules and a guide sheet. Essay submission deadline is Nov. 1. The National Society Daughters of the American Revolution, founded in 1890, sponsors the yearly essay contest with state and local chapters to carry out the injunction of President George Washington in his farewell address to the American people: “to promote, as an object of primary importance, institutions for the general diffusion of knowledge, thus developing an enlightened public opinion.” Visit www.deanza.org.

Torrey Pines High School and Canyon Crest Academy sent a joint team to the iGEM competition this year. They won second place and best poster.
Combined TPHS/CCA iGEM team takes 2nd at international event held at MIT The Torrey Pines High School and Canyon Crest Academy’s joint high school iGEM (International Genetically Engineered Machine) team recently won second place (first runnerup) and the Best Poster Award at the international competition, held June 28 at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, Mass. This year’s High School division included 54 teams worldwide. Team CSIA-South Korea won the competition. The iGEM competition is a team-based international synthetic biology competition in which teams engineer DNA, usually in bacteria, to have applications in health, medicine, food, energy, environment, manufacturing, information processing, or others. Torrey Pines High School teamed with Canyon Crest Academy as a collaboration team representing San Diego. Team members who went to the competition in Cambridge were: Gha Young Lee (TP, 12, Team Captain), Victoria Ouyang (TP, 12), Christina Baek (TP, 11), Anisa Malangone (TP, 12), Brandon Read (TP, graduated), Evan Kallenberg (TP, graduated), Michael Margolis (TP, 12), Daniel Sands (CCA, 12), Ellen Ouyang (CCA, 11), and Alexander Wen (TP, 10). The instructor for the team was Brinn Belyea (TP). The team engineered E. coli bacteria to secrete proteins that can get rid of carcinogenic chemicals called mycotoxins that are produced by molds of improperly stored food. Mycotoxins are the third leading cause of cancer deaths, according to the World Health Organization, and affect as much as 15% of all crops, which are usually thrown out once affected. “Our team’s engineered bacteria would significantly increase the amount of food and prevent cancer. In addition, we made the bacteria move the proteins outside the bacteria, which would make production a lot cheaper and easier,” Gha Young Lee said. The project was sponsored and supported by Thermo Fisher Scientific, New England Biolabs, UCSD Simpson Joseph Lab, and UCSD Jeff Hasty Lab. Visit http://2014hs.igem.org/Main_Page.
Zoonitas event July 26 lending a paw to help Rancho Coastal Humane Society Seventeen local artists will “join paws” to help the animal victims of domestic violence during the Zoonitas Extravaganza Exhibition benefiting the Animal Safehouse Program at the Rancho Coastal Humane Society. An opening reception will be held from 1-4 p.m. Saturday, July 26, at the Encinitas Library Gallery at 540 Cornish Drive, Encinitas. “Zoonitas artists are proud to be a part of the vibrant art scene in Encinitas,” said Cheryl Ehlers, a local artist and curator of the 2014 Zoonitas art exhibition. “Encinitas is home to a diverse population of talented artists. During the opening reception, our guests will experience all forms of artistic expression.” Guests will have the rare opportunity to step into “virtual studios.” Each artist will have one hour to complete an original work of art. Participants include wildlife and landscape artist Gary Johnson, muralist and fine art instructor Linda Luisi, and Joan Hanson, a nature artist, instructor, and book illustrator. During a silent auction afterward, the guests with the highest bids will take home the original works of art “fresh off the easel.” “We’re so honored that these local artists have chosen Rancho Coastal Humane Society’s Animal Safehouse Program as the beneficiary of Zoonitas,” said Amy Heflin, director of the program. “Safehouse is a safety net for the pets of domestic violence victims. When they know their pets will be safe, it allows them to escape and break the chain of violence. Safehouse is also a lifeline for veterans, senior citizens, accident victims, and — most recently — victims of the fires. Thank you, Zoonitas!” Added Ehlers, “All of the artists are excited. We’re ready to let the fur and feathers fly!” The reception will include live music by Second Cousins, food and refreshments, the silent auction, and opportunities to meet the artists and discuss their work. For more about Zoonitas, call 760-519-1551 or visit zooinitas.zohosites.com.

Junior Girl Scout Troop 3892 members have earned their Bronze Award by working with CPR instructor Beth Sullivan to raise awareness in our community of the importance of becoming certified in CPR, AED (defibrillator) and first aid. In the past year the girls have spent several hours putting together skits and performing for local schools to spread the word on the importance of becoming CPR certified. Last month, they took part in demonstrating hands-only CPR at Del Mar’s Powerhouse Park as part of National CPR Awareness Week. “Hands-only CPR has proven to be safe and effective and it’s quick and easy to learn,� says the troop’s leader, Cheryl Sulpizio Chachas. “Nationally, sudden cardiac arrest affects nearly 400,000 people every year, so our troop is committed to raising awareness to get as many people CPR, AED and first-aid certified every two years, if possible.� The troop completed the aMuse Journey concurrently while earning their Bronze and bridged to Cadettes on the Golden Gate bridge in San Francisco.

The staff members at Helen Woodward Animal Center are experts when it Little Sherlock Hams provoked an allergic comes to the constant influx of orphan reaction in his new owner, who had to dogs and cats arriving daily from shelters relinquish him. COURTESY PHOTO throughout Southern California, Utah and Arizona. But on July 7, a new arrival had staff members scratching their heads. A Vietnamese pot-bellied pig named Sherlock Hams stumped staffers when the “dog and cat only� adoption facility learned of his pitiful piggy “tail.� Now the center is sharing what it learned to help educate the community about the perils of making uneducated purchasing decisions and how these purchases lead to the overcrowded companion pet shelter situation every day. The “Teacup Pig� craze (also sold as “micro pigs,� “pocket pigs� and “Juliana pigs�) has seen an increase in recent years as the public learns of these creatures’ sweet temperaments, surprising cleanliness and renowned intelligence. The hype has led to an upswing in breeding pigs for pets at costs of anywhere from $750 to $3,500 per pig, with buyers able to choose everything from the pig’s coloring to the size of their ears. Unfortunately, breeders very rarely tell their buyers that while these pigs are “teacup� in comparison with their farm-bred brothers, who reach 600 and 700 pounds, “mini� pigs average 120 to 150 pounds, sometimes even 250 pounds. Also, despite being referred to as hypoallergenic, pigs do produce dander, and people may have the same sort of allergic reactions they would experience with other household pets. Sherlock Hams was a Del Mar Fair “Swifty Swine Race� participant. The San Diego resident woman who purchased him had hoped to give her daughter a teacup pig as a present, but couldn’t afford the prices of local breeders. When she inquired about the cute black potbelly chasing Oreos around the pen, she was told she could take him home for $200 if she returned on Sunday when the fair was closing. She did and, only hours later, Sherlock Hams was snuggling into his new bed and wagging his piggy tail when spoken to. But by morning, the woman who had purchased Sherlock was realizing her mistake. Completely congested and itching, she discovered that she was allergic to the new resident. She had never owned a cat or dog because of her allergies, but had believed the hypoallergenic myth of this newest fad in pets. “We see this every day,� said Helen Woodward Animal Care Supervisor Amy Barnes. “An enormous percentage of our orphan pets were in someone’s home at one time or another. People think it sounds fun to have a pet, and they enjoy looking at the cute pictures, but they don’t do the proper research to really figure out if a pet is right for them.� “This is why Humane Education is so important to us,� said Education Manager Heather Disher. “Helen Woodward founded the Center by starting with adoption and education. She knew that we really needed to change the perception of our responsibility to every living creature. We can’t be careless with the lives of the orphan pets we take into our homes. We put their lives in jeopardy if we decide we can’t care for them anymore.� As for Sherlock Hams, he stole the heart of (non-allergic) Center AniMeals Supervisor Erin Odermatt who has agreed to take him as her own. It seems this little piggy will finally go “all the way home� for good. Helen Woodward Animal Center is a “dog and cat only� adoption facility.

Beach volleyball camp enters 10th year as sport gains punch BY GIDEON RUBIN Ariel Haas launched the San Diego Volleyball Camp a decade ago which was — in terms of the evolution of beach volleyball — an entirely different era. The sport that once sat on the fringes has surged into the mainstream, with major colleges offering scholarships for what within the last year has become an officially sanctioned NCAA sport. Haas will hold the longest-running nonprofit beach volleyball camp in San Diego County for a 10th straight year starting later this month. Haas, the camp’s director, is Canyon Crest Academy’s girls’ volleyball coach. “My goal was to bring out all the indoor kids to learn the beach game,” he said. “This was before colleges started to create and add sand programs and local clubs started to add sand programs.” Times have changed since Haas started the camp in partnership with the Association of Volleyball Professionals in 2005, but his objective hasn’t. The two-week camp is

such as July 4 and opening day at the track. About a dozen lifeguard stations are open in the summer, compared to only one station during the offpeak season, Crane said. Approximately seven additional full-time equivalent lifeguards join the city for the peak summer season. An additional parking enforcement officer works on Saturdays and Sundays during the peak season. Lifeguard and parking enforcement hours are generally extended to 8 p.m. Del Mar’s Public Works Department has a long todo list to prepare for the city’s influx of visitors and traffic in the summer. Prior to the start of summer, staff members power wash the business district sidewalks, repair the Tot Lot, fertilize the parks, refresh the paint on red curbs, place additional por-
open to girls ages 12 to 18 of all skill levels. Haas said the participants will be split into beginner, intermediate and advanced divisions. The camp will be held in separate segments from July 21-25 at Del Mar Dog Beach and from July 28 to Aug. 1 at Pacific Beach (South Mission Volleyball Courts). Participants can sign up for either or both segments of the camp. And Haas insists that the camp offers something for all participants. For those with limited experience, the camp offers basic instruction. For advanced indoor players, it offers a an opportunity to develop a more well-rounded skill set playing two-on-two than they get in the indoor game, with six players on each side. Perhaps more important, the sand game provides year-round players a much-needed break from the unforgiving hardwood floors that have led to staggering numbers of knee and foot injuries in recent years amid the proliferation of a club circuit that’s understood to be a requirement
table restrooms at North Beach, and prepare for special events scheduled during the summer. In addition, the department cleans and empties the 21st Street Sewer Pump Station Wet Well and Force Main in preparation for increased wastewater flows. During the summer season, the department has two employees maintain the beach during the week and three employees on the weekends. The crew cleans the beach three times per week in the summer, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Additional trash receptacles are placed on certain streets in the Beach Colony. In addition, a restroom attendant is onsite roughly 12:30-7:30 p.m. from July through September at the Powerhouse and Beach Safety Center. Thanking Crane for the report, council members were happy to highlight how the city prepares for its

for those aspiring to play at the collegiate level. “Sand is a very nice way over the summer to let your body recover and to build a lot of the stability muscles around your joints to improve your health and your longevity indoors,” Haas said. “You can play on the sand until you’re 70, because it’s so soft on your body.” The camp was sponsored by the AVP when Haas started it in 2005 through the league’s grass-roots program, designed to promote the sport, until it folded in 2010. It is now sponsored by Wilson Sporting Goods, KindaGood. com, Volleyball Magazine, and Style Science Sport Optics. The camp typically attracts participants from as far away as Colorado, Washington and Canada. “We expose the kids to a lot of (beach) volleyball in a fun atmosphere,” Haas said. “Many of them enjoy coming back.” Camp participants will have no shortage of opportunities to apply what they learn.
busy season each year. “I appreciate this summary of what we do,” said Councilman Terry Sinnott. “There are a lot of details here that, I think, are valuable. We should highlight them as things we’re doing to try to handle the visitors that we have.” However, the council requested staff to determine exactly how much the city is spending on its annual preparations. “Since I’ve been on council, I’ve been concerned that we do spend a lot of money supporting visitor services. We only have 4,000 residents, yet we have 2 million visitors,” said Councilman Don Mosier. “My opinion is that we need to find a way to shift some of those costs to our visitors. … We spend a lot of money so other people can have nice vacations.”
“It’s the best way to learn volleyball in the summer, because you get so many more contacts and repetitions,” Haas said, noting that beach volleyball’s two-on-two format provides much greater involvement than the indoor game’s sixon-six format, which also involves rotations. “You could play three points in a row indoors and you might never touch the ball,” Haas said. “On the sand, you will touch the ball every single point. That’s the one advantage or difference that the sand game has. It’s far more interactive for players, and it’s going to be maybe a little bit less boring for the player because you’re always involved.” The camp’s past participants include former CCA standout Samantha Cash, who graduated in 2011 and now plays on the sand and indoor circuits at Pepperdine. She played on a Waves team that earlier this year won the inaugural NCAA national sand championship. CCA alumna Delaney Sullivan (2013), who went on to play college ball at Azusa Pacific, is a former camp participant who continues to volunteer for the event. She believes the sand game and her involvement in the camp contributed to her development in the sport. “Playing outdoors is really similar — but it’s really different,” she said. “You have to take up much more of the court, so you’re responsible for everything — so you have to (develop) new skills. If you’re a passer, you have to hit no matter what, and if you’re a hitter, you have to try setting. “You have to get used to (playing) all positions, basically.” Volleyball can get monotonous when it’s played indoors, but outdoor play keeps it fresh, Sullivan said. She’s considering transferring to a four-year school that has a sand volleyball program. “It makes it feel like it’s a new sport,” Sullivan said. “It’s so different, it doesn’t make you feel like you’re doing the same thing as you’re used to.” Visit www.sandiegovolleyballcamp.com/welcome.html, or contact Ariel Haas at arielhaas@yahoo.com.

Education Matters/Opinion No blame game on illegal student fees BY MARSHA SUTTON It would be easy to assume, after the last few Marsha Sutton columns, that the staff at the San Dieguito Union High School District deserves condemnation. Recent stories highlighting what may be unlawful student fees have been critical. The schools’ nonprofit foundations have not always followed the rules, the district dropped the ball by improperly charging for graduation attire, and district policy to charge students for parking privileges is being challenged. What were once requests for money have over the years escalated into a sense of entitlement. Topping everything was the property tax bill overcharge debacle last fall. Flaws have been exposed, but this is no Sweetwater. Maybe they let a few things slide, or didn’t follow through when they should have, or communicated the wrong message. But I’ve worked with many educators in 18 years covering local districts, and SDUHSD has some of the finest. The district is topnotch, peopled generally by honorable administrators with integrity who are gracious in accepting responsibility and respect principles of transparency. SDUHSD superintendent Rick Schmitt and his team always respond to my questions openly, are generous with their time, and are quick to admit mistakes. That said, Sally Smith, the education advocate who filed a Uniform Complaint against San Dieguito last May, also deserves applause for bringing the subject of illegal student fees front and center. Pitting student rights activist Smith against a district staffed by decent administrators has no winner. No question that Smith is a champion who fights heroically for the rights of students, particularly low-income families. But that San Dieguito may have violated some equal access principles in no way implies a systemic, deliberate intent to circumvent the law. The issues raised by Smith have hopefully triggered some serious review of
policies and procedures inside the district. Certainly this public discussion has prompted questions from outside. One byproduct of these stories has been inquiries from readers about other practices, such as paying for yearbooks, dances, uniforms for band and choir, art and photography supplies, field trips, club and academic team competitions, and other fee-based activities. Guidelines generally state that no fees can be charged if it’s an educational activity for which attendance is taken or a grade is given. Karl Mueller, principal at Canyon Crest Academy, said the distinction is whether it’s enrichment or a mandatory component of the school. If it’s part of the educational program, it must be inclusive and funded either by voluntary donations or by the school, he said. “Access and equity are critical to me,” he said. “If it’s part of an enrichment experience and it’s optional, that is where I have always understood that line to be.” But the line sometimes blurs. If athletic teams and school clubs represent their schools when they travel to competitions, should funding be different than for strictly on-campus extracurricular activities? There is clarity in other areas. It is prohibited to charge for uniforms or clothing for band or choir, or supplies for art and photography, if these are classes where grades are given. On the other hand, yearbooks, dances and sporting events are voluntary and are not required to be funded. Particularly costly and not affordable for many students is Senior Week, when events for graduating seniors during the last week of school can include trips to Disneyland, breakfasts, evenings out together, boat rides and other activities planned by the school’s students. Senior Week can cost $100 or more, but the district does not provide funding for this. Eric Dill, SDUHSD associate superintendent for business services, said Senior Week is optional, with activities sponsored and planned by students and sometimes parents. Senior Week is not driv-
en by the school but by the class, unlike the graduation ceremony, he said. Sally Smith acknowledged that yearbooks and dances are optional and not required to be funded, but disagreed about Senior Week, calling it “an educational activity for an identifiable group.” “All the seniors should be included in the activities,” she said, adding that all should go or none go. “No school activities should be so expensive that students cannot participate.” Cap-and-gown contracts Smith rejected the district’s response to her Uniform Complaint which denied any violations of the law, and she plans to pursue her fight for equal access and equity. “I have appealed the San Dieguito school district decision because its legal analysis puts it on very shaky ground,” Smith wrote in an email June 19. Regarding the San Dieguito cap-and-gown fees that were illegally charged to students and are being refunded, Smith wrote, “State superintendent Tom Torlakson sent an advisory to all school districts in October that fees were not to be charged for graduation, so there is no excuse for charging for the caps and gowns.” After the district received the CDE notice last fall, all high school principals were advised of the new regulation, Dill said. But not one school informed students and parents of the new policy. “In the end it just didn’t translate,” he said. “Messages sometimes don’t get communicated well.” The cap-and-gown agreement with vendor Jostens Inc. for Torrey Pines High School was a scant one-page “contract” that even Dill thought was iffy. “I’m not sure this is a good contract,” he said. The latest agreement, signed by then principal Brett Killeen, is dated Nov. 19, 2009, and Dill said it is probably still active. “We do have lots of agreements that roll over unless otherwise cancelled,” Dill said, adding that this one “is probably the shortest.” The agreement states that Jostens will supply the cap-and-gown unit for $30 each for the 2009-2010 school year and that the school will receive a flat fee
of $3,000 in “rebates/contributions” by Oct. 1 of the following school year. Some contractors, like photography and cap-and-gown vendors, give money back to the district in exchange for their contracts. Dill said they work on commission and the schools receive “a few dollars per student” from contractors for exclusive rights to sell their services as the preferred vendor. It’s not exactly a kickback, but is certainly incentive for the district to renew the contracts year after year. It took Dill nearly three weeks to find the 2009 Jostens TPHS contract, and he has yet to uncover the agreement with Canyon Crest. Next year the district’s purchasing department needs to consolidate the individual school contracts and “get involved and do something that is coordinated” to receive a better price, he said. This year students paid $40 to $55 for their graduation apparel (money the district is now obligated to refund), when some vendors charge only $13 per unit in bulk. But the idea of traditional graduation attire may need re-thinking altogether, Dill said. In eighth-grade middle school promotion ceremonies, he said students simply wear nice clothes. And at this year’s high school graduations, he noted that many gowns weren’t zipped, exposing casual clothes underneath, making a dress code for graduation ultimately unenforceable. Dill said the district’s principals all agree that students refusing to wear a cap and gown could walk at graduation anyway. “The principals all said, ‘If kids didn’t want to wear it, that wouldn’t be a hill I would die on,’ on the last day of school,” Dill said. He said a handful of kids every year choose not to even walk at graduation, and that’s permitted because participation in the ceremony isn’t required for a diploma. It’s a tradition to wear a cap and gown but not required, said Dill, calling it a free speech issue. “This is a question we’ll have to consider before we go out and get proposals for a district-level cap-and-gown contract,” he said. Foundations over-reach Nonprofit school foundations are established to raise donations to support school programs, but sometimes they over-step their bounds. For instance, Smith objected to the Sports Physical nights offered each spring by San Dieguito’s foundations. Since CIF rules require physicals before athletes can participate in high school sports, foundations have for years charged a nominal fee for these physicals as a fundraising opportunity. But Smith believes this is not legal. “The San Dieguito foundations are charging for sports physicals, but charities are supposed to ask for donations, not charge fees,” Smith said in an email. “These foundations are not complying with IRS laws.” “While CIF has mandated sports physicals, it is not an authorized fee in the education code,” she said. “CIF rules do not override the state constitution.” Smith was critical of the district’s focus on fundraising, saying, “Instead of being grateful for the immense financial support of parents, the district has sought ways to extract even more money from parents because they do not know the laws.” She referenced the San Dieguito Academic Honesty Policy: “Honest behavior is an expectation for all students in the San Dieguito Union High School District.” “Staff should emulate the behavior it expects from teenagers,” Smith said. Over-zealous school district? Or an over-zealous education activist? School districts and education foundations are becoming more aware that the public is watching and holding them accountable, and the public is growing more cognizant of its rights. Regardless of how these individual issues are resolved, these are good conversations to have. Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail.com.

San Dieguito Union High School District Superintendent Rick Schmitt’s Monthly Update Superintendent Rick Schmitt updates the greater San Dieguito Union High School District community through local media with a monthly update. Topics covered include curriculum, facilities, budget, safety, and other specific and special interest topics. Today’s update focuses on facilities, specifically related to enrollment at our high schools. BY RICK SCHMITT The San Dieguito Union High School District (SDUHSD) is proud to offer our students and families the choice of four unique and amazing high schools. Each year we strive to ensure that every student is able to attend his or her first choice in high schools, and we’ve been highly successful in this effort over many years. Recently, community members have asked the district to review current high school enrollment practices in response to concerns that some students who live nearby our two nonboundary schools (San Dieguito High School Academy and Canyon Crest Academy) were not admitted through the lottery process. As you may know, two of our district high schools are boundary schools (La Costa Canyon HS [LCC] in the north and Torrey Pines HS [TPHS] in the south) and two of our high schools are non-boundary schools (San Dieguito HS Academy [SDHSA] and Canyon Crest Academy [CCA]) , which are open to all students in the district on an equal basis regardless of where a student may live within our district. Each year high school students declare which high school they want to attend the following school year. While all students are guaranteed enrollment at their boundary schools as determined by their residence, they may still apply to attend any of our
four outstanding comprehensive high schools. As long as there is space available, all students who apply are admitted to their first choice school. If demand for enrollment exceeds capacity at a particular school, students are admitted through a random lottery as required by California law. We are proud that under this High School Selection system over 98 percent of incoming 9th graders were ad- Rick Schmitt mitted to their first choice school over the last eight years. SDUHSD’s practice of allowing families choice in selecting their high school has been popular over the years. We also recognize that our community has grown and changed since we adopted our school choice practices and the demand for attendance at our two academy schools has increased over time, so a thoughtful review of our enrollment practices is appropriate at this time. As a result, we will engage with the larger SDUHSD community to inform residents about high school enrollment options and to seek input on how we should proceed with high school enrollment in the future. To accomplish this review in a timely and constructive fashion while also ensuring input from all current and future stakeholders, we have decided to establish a districtwide task force which will include parent and student representatives from across the district, along with teachers and board members. The Task Force will: •Examine enrollment capacity and demand at our schools •Review short and long-term demographic and enrollment projections
•Explore short, intermediate, and longterm solutions to match demand and available space at our high schools •Educate our community on the issues •Discuss current high school enrollment processes •Seek additional input from the community •Make recommendations to the board regarding high school enrollment policies Parent and student participation on the task force will be solicited via an email to all SDUHSD families and a subsequent application process. For the last year SDUHSD has examined a variety of potential program modification options at LCC and TPHS which have the potential to draw enrollment to these boundary schools. These options include bell schedule revisions, increased academic and elective offerings, along with flexible scheduling choices. We will continue to examine these and other options for possible implementation in the 2015-16 school year with the knowledge that increased enrollment demand at LCC and TPHS will result in corresponding decreased enrollment demand at SDHSA and CCA. Our district’s goal has always been, and will remain, to allow each student to attend his or her first choice in high schools. We’ve been very successful in achieving this goal since establishing SDHSA as a non-boundary school in 1996 and CCA in 2004. The issues related to enrollment practices, boundaries, and choice in schools can be complex. Any constructive solution will require a clear understanding of the issues and input from all members of our educational community. Any changes to district enrollment practices will impact each of our current and future
students and revising high school enrollment boundary options will be a long-term process, as the impact on elementary and middle school boundaries remain unclear and are complicated. Making hasty changes to a popular school choice program without full consideration of implications and input from parents, students, and staff would certainly be unwise. Our district has a history of successfully managing both our facility and enrollment needs. SDHSA’s enrollment has grown from 976 in 1996 to a current enrollment of 1,600 and CCA has grown from an enrollment of 1,200 in 2008 to a current enrollment of 1,900. None of this would have been possible without parental support for our schools and the Proposition AA facilities bond which our community recently approved. Proposition AA has allowed our district to incrementally increase enrollment at SDHSA and CCA and also includes plans for longterm capacity solutions with new buildings scheduled at each school. With this strong foundation in place, along with our ongoing commitment to listen and respond to community input, we will arrive at appropriate short, intermediate, and long-term solutions to best meet the academic and social needs of students. I will keep our greater SDUHSD community updated as we look for enrollment balance at all four of our incredible comprehensive high schools. Updates will be available via our SDUHSD website, Facebook and Twitter accounts.

California Chrome owner off-track blaming Del Mar Misunderstandings, miscommunication are tarnishing good aura around California Chrome BY ED ZIERALSKI, SPECIAL TO THE DEL MAR TIMES/ CARMEL VALLEY NEWS/ SOLANA BEACH SUN This California Chrome stuff with Del Mar reached a ridiculously feverish pitch Sunday, five days out from Del Mar’s summer season opener on Thursday. Because of that, I spoke Sunday with Perry Martin, who co-owns California Chrome with Steve Coburn, the colt’s trainer, Art Sherman, and Craig Dado, executive vice president of marketing with the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. I have utmost respect for all three, but after speaking to them, I realized there are a lot of misunderstandings here, communication breakdowns that are hurting California Chrome’s legacy and people connected to him. Perry is blaming Del Mar for trying to manipulate him and Coburn to parade their colt at Del Mar during Pacific Classic day by leaking information
about the failed deal to the media, but he’s putting blame in the wrong place. California Chrome returns to Los Alamitos Thursday from a layoff after a fourth-place finish in the Belmont Stakes on June 7 cost him the Triple Crown. He wasn’t going to run in the Pacific Classic, but Del Mar hoped to get his owners to bring him to Del Mar to share him with the Pacific Classic fans. Perry’s demand of $50,000 ended that deal. Perry is angry with Del Mar. He said in a press release that California Chrome not only won’t parade at Del Mar, he’ll never, ever “set foot at Del Mar.” “I don’t trust the management there, and if I can’t trust them, our horse won’t run there,” Martin said. Del Mar never issued any announcement or tipped media (not me, anyway) about the possibility of Chrome appearing at Del Mar. Trainer Art Sherman shared the news with Steve
Andersen of the Daily Racing Form and me that he was considering it because it would be good for the game. Andersen and I wrote stories saying it could happen. When Perry nixed it, Dado said Del Mar sent a letter to Perry and Coburn wishing them and the colt well and said they hoped to see the colt next year as a 4-year-old at Del Mar. When I arrived at Del Mar earlier this week, I was told California Chrome wasn’t coming to Del Mar. No one gave me any specifics, and I can’t stress that enough, other than to say a deal couldn’t be worked out. I called Martin to see if he would fill in those details. He did that and more. I respect his honesty. What I don’t respect is this: On Sunday, Martin issued an off-base press release blaming the media (I assume Andersen and me) and Del Mar for trying to manipulate him and Coburn, the self-proclaimed Dumb Ass Partners.
According to his release, he and Coburn would get $10,000 each from the $50,000 appearance fee. Team Sherman would get $20,000 to split with the barn and $10,000 would cover insurance and expenses. When I called Martin on Sunday, I tried to show him that Art Sherman and him combined to put out the news of Chrome’s appearance at Del Mar, how blaming Del Mar was wrong. I honestly see Martin’s side. California Chrome is a race horse, not a parade horse. I’ll go as far as to say I believe it’s humiliating for a colt that nearly won the Triple Crown to be subjected to a parade at the Pacific Classic, where his rival, Jim Rome’s Shared Belief, likely will run and win. But I see Del Mar’s side, too. The track is in the entertainment business. Showing off California Chrome on Pacific Classic Day would have pumped up attendance. Not as much had Chrome been healthy enough to run, but thousands more would have shown up to see this incredi-
ble runner, this charismatic, superstar colt. Now, Martin said Los Alamitos and the media are starting to do the same thing to him that Del Mar did, trying to force him to run the colt at his home track in a Breeders’ Cup tune-up race at Los Alamitos. As far as I know, Los Alamitos owner Dr. Ed Allred hasn’t said a word about it. Art Sherman, as he should, had the final word Sunday, saying that no decision has been made on where California Chrome will race next. “Let’s see how he comes back from the layoff and injury,” Sherman said. “They haven’t even written up the race here (at Los Alamitos). I’m just concerned about getting my horse back on the race track so he can compete.” Chrome needs to start running again under the watchful eyes of Art and Alan Sherman.

in a presentation to the council. “Since that time, no major planting or renovation has been done on the Coastal Rail Trail,” he said. “During these last 10 years, a large number of plant species just disappeared due to their age.” In the spring, Deputy Mayor Lesa Heebner, Councilman Mike Nichols, city staff and representatives from Nissho surveyed the area and identified several areas with poorly growing or dead trees, missing plants, and overgrown invasive plants. Nissho submitted a proposal to remove and replace the plants. “I think it’s a good plan, and you did a good job putting it together based on the conversation,” Nichols said. Nissho has maintained the city’s landscaping since July 2013. With approval from the council, the company’s $195,400 citywide contract was extended for another year, plus an additional $78,000 for the Coastal Rail Trail project.

Joe Harper talks racing season, Breeders’ Cup and more at Del Mar Rotary meeting
Soap opera actress Susan Flannery supports Lung Cancer Foundation of America’s ‘Day at the Races’
BY KRISTINA HOUCK Just a week before Opening Day, Del Mar Thoroughbred Club President and CEO Joe Harper talked about racing season, the Breeders’ Cup World Championships and more at the July 10 Del Mar Rotary meeting. The racing season kicks off on Thursday, July 17. From fancy hats to celebrity sightings, Opening Day is one of the area’s biggest social events, expected to draw more than 45,000 people, according to event organizers. “Opening Day is the easiest day to market,” Harper said. “They just show up.” The 36-day summer meet runs through Sept. 3. This year, the track will debut its new turf, featuring a wider racing surface that accommodates more horses. The track will replace its synthetic Polytrack with a dirt surface over the next year, Harper said. Forty-three stakes races are scheduled. The main event will once again be the $1 million Grade I TVG Pacific Classic, set for Aug. 24. But Del Mar racing doesn’t end when school begins. For the first time, the track will also host a fall meet. “It’s going to be completely different,” Harper said. The 15-day fall meet begins Nov. 7 and runs through Nov. 30. The theme will be Hollywood, with horses and races named after celebrities, Harper said. “We’ve got a great brand in the summer,” Harper said. “We’ve got pretty girls and pretty guys —
BY KRISTINA HOUCK American soap opera actress Susan Flannery helped raise awareness about lung cancer when her character Stephanie Forrester battled the disease on “The Bold and the Beautiful.” Although she has since retired from the TV show, Flannery is still bringing attention to the disease by joining other lung cancer patient advocates, survivors and supporters at the Lung Cancer Foundation of America’s fifth annual “Day at the Races” event July 27 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. “If my participation can help in any way, I’m happy to help,” Flannery said. An original cast member, Flannery portrayed Forrester on “The Bold and the Beautiful” from 1987 to 2012. The series was heralded for its authentic portrayal of lung cancer in 2010, when Flannery’s character was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer and underwent treatments. On Feb. 7, 2011, during the 6,000th episode of the CBS series, the show featured several real-life lung cancer survivors, including the late actress Kathryn Joosten and Dr. Michael Weitz, a lung cancer patient advocate and lung cancer survivor since 2006. “The show got an enormous response,” said Flannery, who made her final appearance on the show in November 2012, when her character lost her battle with lung cancer. “We got a lot of thank-yous from fans and from people who viewed the show for the first time. “Daytime (TV) has always led the charge for dealing with medical issues, psychiatric issues or social issues — way before prime time or movies. It’s something everyone is very proud of in the industry.” Flannery also filmed a public service announce-

We can’t go with the summer dresses.” With the Rotary meeting taking place just a couple weeks after the announcement of the Breeders’ Cup coming to Del Mar in 2017, many members wanted to hear about the big event. “The Breeders’ Cup is the biggest day of racing,” said Harper during the meeting at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church. “It’s going to be great here.” It will be the first time the Breeders’ Cup will be held in Del Mar in the event’s 30-year history. The Breeders’ Cup will also be held for the first time at Keeneland Race Course in Lexington, Ky., next year. In 2016, the Breeders’ Cup will return to this year’s location, Santa Anita Park in the Los Angeles suburb of Arcadia, according to Breeders’ Cup officials. “They (Breeders’ Cup officials) were blown away by the hotels, the restaurants, the racetrack itself,” Harper said. The two-day event is set for Nov. 3-4. The Breeders’ Cup is expected to draw a crowd of 75,000 to 100,000 people and an estimated $70 million in event revenue. The Del Mar track opened 77 years ago on July 3, 1937. Over the years, the track has not only established a reputation for outstanding racing, but for all-around entertainment, Harper said. “We’ve marketed Del Mar very successfully over the last 20 years,” he said. “You’ve got to have an enjoyable experience, even if you don’t care about racing or don’t know how to make a bet. “No one does it better than San Diego.” For more about the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, visit www.dmtc.com.

The patients and survivors, they weren’t acting. They were just being themselves. It was very well done.” Lung cancer is the nation’s top cancer killer, yet it ranks near the bottom in research funding. To raise awareness of lung cancer and funds for research, Norris co-founded the nonprofit in 2007 with David Sturges, an attorney in Minnesota, and Lori Monroe, a registered nurse in Kentucky — both lung cancer survivors. After a 12-year battle with the disease, Monroe died in 2013. After losing her husband, Roy, to lung cancer in 1999, Norris devoted her life to being a lung cancer patient advocate. She remains a volunteer with the organization, which has raised about $1.3 million for lung cancer research since it first launched. “Day at the Races” is one of the foundation’s annual fundraisers. “This event is a fun day for a very great cause,” Norris said. “I think having Susan join us is just going to add that much more to the festivities.” “Day at the Races” will take place from noon to 6:30 p.m. July 27 in the Il Palio Restaurant at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club. Races begin at 2 p.m. Tickets cost $150 and include entry into the private Turf Club, a tour of the paddock area and a private betting window. The event will also feature a special “Breath of Life” race to raise awareness about lung cancer and support lung cancer research, as well as a silent auction and raffle drawing. To inquire about tickets or sponsorships, contact Cindy Iker at ciker@lcfamerica.org. For more about the Lung Cancer Foundation of America or to buy tickets for the event, visit www.lcfamerica.org.

Rock band OK Go on viral success, chart-topping hits, and playing at the Belly Up
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY ROB LEDONNE When rock band OK Go rolls into San Diego to play a July 24 gig at Solana Beach’s Belly Up Tavern, it will mark the latest in a string of memorable shows in the region. “We’ve played in the area a handful of times,” said bassist and vocalist Tim Norwood from his home in Los Angeles. “Once, the night we released our second-ever record, we made our debut on ‘The Tonight Show,’ then drove down from Burbank to play at (downtown venue) the Casbah. Maybe 50 people show up,” remembers Norwood with a laugh. The band’s star has risen exponentially since those early days, largely due to a string of indie rock hits, including “Here It Goes Again,” “All Is Not Lost,” and “This Too Shall Pass.” Aside from their music, the band has become known for creative and intricate music videos, many of which become viral sensations. “A lot of bands don’t or wouldn’t enjoy making them, but we like the experience,” Norwood said. “We love to make videos that excite people and inspire wonderment, joy, and fun. That’s the kind of stuff people enjoy watching and playing for their friends.” The band, which started in Chicago, first gained national prominence when the video for its 2005 single “Here It Goes Again” (which featured the members jump-
ing around on treadmills) took off during the early days of viral Internet videos (it boasts nearly 22 million views on YouTube), and later won a Grammy award. “We’re lucky enough to come up in a time that the Internet has become a showcase space, like an art gallery, where you can make and share things,” Norwood said. “The fact that people like our videos is certainly encouraging.” The word “like” is probably an understatement. The band’s latest video, for the single “The Writing’s On The Wall,” was posted to YouTube on June 17 and in the past month alone has garnered 9 million views and attention around the globe. “The song is about a couple breaking up and seeing their relationship two different ways,” said Norwood of the video, which consists of a variety of elaborate optical illusions. “The song and video focuses on perspective and seeing things in a lot of different ways.” The band members originally had the idea to produce a video with optical illusions and forced perspective four years ago. They reached out to a New York-based production company. From there, it took months to hatch a feasible plan, construct a set, and make their unique vision come to life. “One day, (lead singer) Damien Kulash had seen an advertisement on BBC 4 which
OK Go on the set of their latest music video, “The Writing’s On The Wall.” Photo by Gus Powell featured camera tricks where, at certain angles, the same thing looks different,” remembers Norwood of the video’s genesis. “We thought we could do it on a bigger scale, and make a cool video.” The video, single, and Belly Up gig are all in support of their album “Hungry Ghosts,” which comes out Oct. 14. Until then, Norwood and his bandmates are continuing to think of eye-popping new video ideas and are, of course, going to enjoy the Southern California weather.
“We started out in the Midwest, and while I’ll always love it there, the weather (in California) is a major selling point for me,” Norwood said. “Just being able to see hills, mountains, and the ocean — it’s something I didn’t grow up with.” OK Go will perform at 9 p.m. July 24 at the Belly Up in Solana Beach (doors open at 8 p.m.). For information, visit www.bellyup. com/ok-go or www.okgo.net. The Belly Up is at 143 S. Cedros Ave., Solana Beach; call 858-481-8140.

‘Ether Dome’ at La Jolla Playhouse taps into medicine, science, religion and human suffering BY DIANA SAENGER Director Michael Wilson, who is staging “Ether Dome” at the La Jolla Playhouse, is enjoying the fruits of his labor; he is relishing his collaboration with playwright Elizabeth Egloff and Playhouse’s creative team. In addition, on the day of this interview, his TV movie “A Trip to Bountiful,” was nominated for an Emmy award. “My music teacher from sixth grade was watching the announcements and called to congratulate me,” Wilson said. “That was very sweet. The buzz about the nominations will add more buzz to the play’s run at the Ahmanson Theatre after the Emmy awards.” “Ether Dome” is a look back at the idea of an inhaled form of anesthesia — nitrous oxide or ether — as a way of relieving pain during surgery. Wilson said when he was the artistic director of the Hartford Stage, he went looking for something for playwright Egloff to create and came upon a statue of Horace Wells in a park. “In Hartford, Wells is

That’s where they have ‘Ether Day’ every year at a hospital to honor William Morton, who also claimed to invent ether. “I started thinking, ‘These two stories don’t line up.’ In my research, I found that Horace’s life inspired Robert Louis Stevenson to write ‘Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde,’ so I thought, ‘There’s a play here!’” Wilson learned that Egloff was from Farmington,
Conn., outside Hartford. Her father was a doctor who went to Harvard Medical School, which factors heavily in the play. And she was nominated for an Emmy for her work on the script of “The Reagans” for Showtime. He commissioned Egloff to write “Ether Dome.” “It’s amazing to work on a play that is set in this time of 1846 and explores the moment in our history when they were doing amputations, tumor removals and vasectomies without any kind of anesthesia!” Wilson said. “It’s hard to grasp how people could endure the pain, and of course the answer to that is, they often couldn’t. Sometimes people would die of shock on the
operating table.” “Ether Dome” has many layers that touch on far more than treatment to eradicate pain, and how a doctor and his student play out an epic battle between altruism and ambition. “The play has a parallel exploration of substance abuse as we particularly see in Horace’s case ... The explorations of these gases lead him to find them exhilarating and ecstatic, not unlike recreational drugs today,” said Wilson. “That became a way for him to alleviate his own emotional and psychological pain at the loss of being betrayed by his young ward, William Morton, who stole his discoveries, giving him no credit. This was someone Horace thought he loved and treated like a son or brother.” The cast has 16 actors, including Michael Bakkensen (Playhouse’s “Light up the Sky”) as Horace Wells, William Youmans (Playhouse’s “Hands on a Hardbody”) as Dr. Jackson, and Tom Patterson (Playhouse’s “Sideways”) as Wil-
liam Morton. The play highlights many characters in its multiple themes. “There are father-son and teacher-mentor relationships, and if you’re not interested in medical diseases, surgeries or dentistry, I think we all had mentors or teachers like the one that called me at 5:45 this morning,” Wilson said. “‘Ether Dome’ explores responsibility to those relationships, and the reality that is often a blurred situation for many people, as

the lines can cross between exploiting and honoring. “Liz is asking some pretty big questions with this play that delve into personal responsibility in medical ethics, dealing with how our health care doles out — whether based on needs or means.” “Ether Dome” runs through Aug. 10 at the Mandell Weiss Forum at La Jolla Playhouse, UCSD campus.

Local artist shares her love of papier-mâché at her Carmel Valley studio BY KRISTINA HOUCK The former host of a TV show on a local Israeli station, Sarit Harel was on assignment when she met and interviewed a woman who inspired her to change her career. Galit Steinberg, the owner of a papier-mâché studio, welcomed Harel as a student after she expressed interest in the medium. The woman quickly became Harel’s friend and mentor. After nearly seven years of working in the studio in Israel, Harel, her husband, Amit, and their four children moved to Carmel Valley. Across the Atlantic Ocean and thousands of miles away, Steinberg encouraged her former student to open her own studio in her new community. “I didn’t have self-confidence,” said Harel, who has lived in San Diego for two years. “After a year over here, my husband started to convince me. And my teacher told me I have all the information I need.” With encouragement from her family and friends, Harel finally opened Paper Mache Art Studio about eight months ago. Based out of her Carmel Valley home, the studio recently held its first open house in early June to showcase the work of her roughly 20 students. “It’s so colorful and it’s so unique,” Harel said. “Each artist brings his or her own personality to their work.” A dancer as a child and now a sculptor, Harel has been an artist all her life. While serving as a soldier in Israel, Harel performed in the Israel Defense Forces Band. After two years in the military, she studied contemporary music, performing in musicals such as “Les Misérables” and “West Side Story.” Also an actress, Harel hosted a show for more than a year, which is how she met her mentor Steinberg. “I loved the material,” Harel said. “I tried to work with clay and other materials. The difference with papier-mâché — it’s unlimited.” Harel explained her art is created using a method that is more sophisticated than the way children make papier-mâ-

ché in school. Her work is not composed of paper strips and glue, but rather paper pulp, adhesive and other recyclable materials. “It’s a serious art,” she said. “My sculptures are very heavy.” One of her favorite pieces is a roughly 7-foot-tall selfstatue. Created while she was 40 and pregnant with her fourth child, the statue depicts a woman with roots in the ground and chains for wings. “My work is very passionate, dealing with my life,” said Harel, whose two boys and two girls range in age from 5 to 13 years. “At that time, I was dealing with being a mother of almost four kids. I was dealing with wanting to fly but not being able to fly anymore. Although I cannot fly anymore like I used to, my kids are my life.” Besides being personal, the medium is environmentally friendly, consisting of almost all recycled materials. It’s also responsive and revisable. Unlike some mediums, however, papier-mâché requires patience, something Harel had to learn and teach her students. “Papier-mâché is a slow art,” Harel said. “It’s a process, and you need to enjoy the process. You can’t get immediate results.” Although difficult for some at first, Harel said the papier-mâché process is therapeutic. Sculpting calms her students, she explained, and brings them closer together. “I like to dream. I think it’s important to put your dreams into art,” Harel said. “We all have dreams. Go outside of your routine — whatever you like to do. It’s important to dream, and I think that’s something people are getting from my studio.” Classes are available for children and adults.

It’s Beatles vs. Stones at Belly Up on Aug. 22 The debate over the Beatles vs. the Rolling Stones has been going on ever since they first crossed paths on the charts 50 years ago. The argument at the time, and that persists, is that the Beatles were a pop group and the Stones were a rock band: the boys next door vs. the bad boys of rock. So who’s better? Tribute bands Abbey Road and Jumping Jack Flash will engage in an on-stage throwdown — a musical “shoot-out,” if you will — between the two bands’ sounds at 9 p.m. Friday, Aug. 22, at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach. Taking the side of the Fab Four is Abbey Road, one of the county’s top Beatles tribute bands. With brilliant musicianship and authentic costumes and gear, Abbey Road plays beloved songs spanning the Beatles’ career. They face off against renowned Stones tribute band Jumping Jack Flash, which offers a faithful rendition of the music and style of Mick Jagger, Keith Richards and the “bad boys” of the British Invasion. Tickets are $16 and may be purchased online at www.bellyup.com or by calling the box office at 858-481-8140. The Belly Up is at 143 S. Cedros in Solana Beach 92075. The show is 21+.

M-Theory Music celebrates vinyl in Flower Hill’s Row BY KAREN BILLING A new vinyl record shop has spun into Del Mar with M-Theory Music in Flower Hill Promenade. The store officially opened on June 14, but held a grand opening party on July 12 with live performances from the bands Island Boy and Ditches in Flower Hill’s lively Row Collective courtyard. Saturday’s scene included outdoor ping-pong matches, and the Row’s first Makers Market was held on Sunday with homemade goods and do-it-yourself crafts. “The Collective down here has a lot of great people,” said Rick Tyner, general manager of M-Theory. “It’s fun to be a part of something up and coming.” The space definitely stands out in the Row Collective, as local artist Celeste Byers painted the exterior and interior of the store with her uniquely bright designs. On Saturday night, the store teemed with people flipping through new and used vinyl records of everything from new rock to the very rare. M-Theory’s collection of cassette tapes also evoked plenty of nostalgia from browsers. M-Theory also sells turntables and other audio equipment, music books, posters and artwork. This is the record shop’s second location; the first is in Mission Hills. The store is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday. For information, visit mtheorymusic.com. Flower Hill Promenade is at 2720 Via de la Valle, Del Mar.

The Del Mar Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary brings back the historical event ‘Hats Off to Children’ The members of the Del Mar Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary are tipping their hats to the recent success of Hats Off to Children, held on July 9 at Cucina Enoteca in Del Mar. Ladies gathered from near and far for Hats Off to Children, a luncheon hosted by Cucina Enoteca and a fashion show put on by TRE Boutique, at Flower Hill Promenade. Hats and fascinators designed by Jenifer Buckley were being snapped up to be worn at Opening Day of the Races to be held July 17. Over 15 years ago, the 1st Annual Hats Off to Children was co-chaired by Andrea Naversen Wait, Karen Powell and Suzy Westphal at the former Scalini’s, located across from the polo fields. The theme for the fundraiser was centered on finding the perfect hat for Opening Day to the Races, with several hat designers at the event. High-profile ladies donated “Hats with a History,” fabulous, gently-worn designer hats which were sold at auction. Cucina Enoteca, Cucina Urbana and Fish Public promise to continue to give back for the entire month of July through the Sip + Support program. See HATS, page B15

Ford 2013 Escape Recall Information: Consumer Info & Recommended Steps Owners of the latest 2013 Ford Escape crossovers are urged to take the next steps to prevent accident and injury following the automaker’s latest recall. According to New York Times, Ford is recalling about 140,000 vehicles in the United States because of a potential fire hazard. The manufacturer has indicated the Escape’s 1.6-liter EcoBoost 4-cylinder engine may be to blame for 13 recent auto fires that prompted the recall. Other export markets including Canada may also be affected. According to Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker, an additional 21,000 cars are being recalled internationally in addition to the recall in the U.S. Ford explained the recall was voluntarily
issued due to concerns over cracks in the engine during possible overheating of the cylinder head. Cracking could lead to leaked oil and a possible fire in the presence of highheat surfaces. Although no personal injury has been reported, 13 vehicles were ignited into flames after suspected cracking within the engine components. Ford aims to fix the problem by enhancing “the engine shielding, cooling and control systems.” Owners of all 2013 Ford Escapes are urged to visit an authorized dealer to inquire on recall repairs. According the auto manufacturer’s site, some 9,500 of its 2013 Escapes thought to have undergone repair may still produce fuel leaks which could pose a fire hazard. An additional 2,300 vehicles in Canadian and export markets are additionally recalled. More information on the recall can be found here. NEXT STEPS: STAY SAFE & FOLLOW UP ON RECALL REPAIRS IMMEDIATELY Ford says the recall is voluntary, but that’s not to be confused with voluntary repair. In this sense, Ford’s voluntary recall means

the company was not forced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue the recall. All consumers, however, should know that recall repairs are urged to be completed as soon as possible and are therefore not voluntary. To ensure your safety, please make sure to: 1. Contact Ford Immediately If you’re at all unsure whether your vehicle is affected, call Ford at 1-866-436-7332 and provide your Vehicle Identification Number to receive more information. Alternatively, Ford owners can log onto http://FordOwner. com or by clicking here to find recall information. 2. Schedule Repairs To avoid any risk of fires, you must complete your repairs as quickly as possible. Most authorized Ford dealerships or repair stations will complete your recall repair free of charge. It’s important to contact Ford to find out which locations can service your vehicle for free. 3. Report Any Additional Problems Consumers should notify the auto manufacturer when any additional problems arise. Even if the issue is small – say, loose
hubcaps or a trunk that won’t stay shut – it’s important to report the malfunction right away. Lives are saved when consumers are proactive. 4. Register Your Vehicle for Future Recalls Owners of Ford vehicles and all other manufacturers are urged to register their vehicles and other commonly used household items, equipment or machinery at Recalls.gov. Benefits of registering include quick notification in the event of new or additional recalls, ongoing updates and any additional information pertaining to relevant recalls. Consumers can even register to receive recall information about foods, medicines, toys, furniture, personal care, cosmetics and other consumer products.

Take your licks! It’s National Ice Cream Month The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN “I spent last night with my two boyfriends — “Ben and Jerry.” —Anonymous In 1984, President Ronald Reagan, who had a real soft spot for ice cream, designated July as the month to pay tribute to one of his favorite indulgences. Since the Reagan-era, ice cream has evolved into a creamy, dreamy industry that practically suits every cultural, dietary and gustatory preference. Frozen Freaks from Afar •The Japanese, hands down, have mastered the art of frightful frosty treats. If you have a bizarre yen for raw horseflesh, sharkfin noodle, ox tongue, octopus, wasabi or poisonous pit viper, then check out Ice Cream City at the Namja Town Amusement Park in Tokyo, along with other creameries in those parts. •The Emerald Isle serves such quirky concoctions as Dingle gin, green peas and mint, smoked salmon, goat cheese and caramelized shal-
lot, toasted Irish oats and peat-smoked sugar ice creams. • The British ice cream purveyor, Lick Me I’m Delicious, features fish-and-chips ice cream as gross flavor of the month, along with novelty glow-in-the-dark jellyfish, at a whopping 140 British pounds a scoop. ($239 U.S.) • The folks Down Under offer whisky prune; the French have contributed foie gras and avocado flavors, while some domestic lollapaloozas include stinky Durian fruit coming out of the Big Apple, roasted garlic from Minneapolis and Portland’s herbal concoctions of mint leaves and sea urchin meringue. Syrup of Ipecac sorbet, anyone? What’s your Fave Flave? Baskin-Robbins, famous for offering over 31 flavors that rotate seasonally, collaborated with a Chicago neurologist Dr. Alan Hirsch, founder of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, to determine the link between flavor preferences and personalities. Surprisingly, Rainbow Sorbet fans were found to be pessimists, despite the bright colors and cheery flavor blend. Vanillaphiles were anything but boring. Generally, they tended to be impulsive risk-takers driven by intuition rather than logic. Chocolate lovers were dramatic, flirtatious and downright seductive. Very Berry Strawberry pickers were profiled as devoted introverts, Rocky Roaders good listeners with aggressive tendencies, and Mint Chocolate Chip fans were likely to be frugal and argumentative. Finally, those who prefer Jamoca Mocha were conscientious folks with high moral principles. Butter Pecan lovers were sensitive souls to other’s feelings. Ice Cream Imposters There is a whole line-up of frozen dairy-free delights easy on the gut for vegans, lactose intolerants, allergics, the cholesterol-conscious or those with dietary restrictions. Major players have been churning out such treats as hemp-based temptations made from nutty-textured hemp seeds, decoys from soy, icy rices, nut “milks” such as almond and hazelnut, along with silky young coconut milk delicacies. Frosty Facts • Americans are top banana when it comes to global ice cream consumption. The International Dairy Foods Association reports that the average American scarfs down more than 48 pints a year, Nebraskans heading the pack. • This country produces 800 million gallons of ice cream yearly. • 12 pounds of milk are needed to make a mere gallon of ice cream. • Sunday is the top ice cream selling day of the week. • Children ages 2-12 and adults over age 45 are the biggest ice cream demographic groups.

Local resident’s OMO Child nonprofit subject of national news story TV journalist Ann Curry and NBC Nightly News aired a news story July 13 about Omo Child, a nonprofit organization co-founded by local resident John Rowe and Lale Labuko. Omo Child rescues and cares for Mingi children from the Omo Valley tribal region of Southwest Ethiopia. The term Mingi refers to children who are marked as cursed by their tribes. According to Rowe and Labuko, the secretive, taboo practice extends back generations among tribes of Ethiopia’s Omo River valley. Among those labeled as cursed are children born out of wedlock; twins; and those whose top teeth grow in before their lower teeth. Tribal elders fear the mingi children can bring famine, drought and disease. To get rid of the curse, the Mingi children are killed, either by drowning in the river, or being left to die in the bush. For Ann Curry’s report, visit www.nbcnews.com or www.nbcnews.com/news/world/breaking-brutal-traditionyoung-tribesman-fights-babies-lives-n139716 Rowe has recently been in Ethiopia. Via email, he reported, “We had the wife of the Canadian Ambassador to Ethiopia join us to see 21,000 people in the Hamer Tribe end Mingi about three weeks ago. We rescued a child suffering from acute malnutrition who was starting to ‘shut down.’ The Italian Embassy has announced they will bring clean water projects to three Kara villages (5,000 people) on the Omo River.” For more information and/or to donate, visit omochild.org.

Pacific Sotheby’s Realty hosts Beach Block Party Open House at Historic Driver Home On July 8, Pacific Sotheby’s Realty agents Patricia Kramer, Eric Iantorno, Cathleen Shera and Margaret McIntosh hosted a 1950s-themed Beach Block Party Open House at the historic Driver home in Del Mar. Over 200 guests enjoyed ‘50s music, gourmet burgers from the Bitchin’ Burgers food truck, face painting and festive Golden Cadillac cocktails. The historic Driver home, which is located at 2938 Sandy Lane, was built in 1950 by Russell Forester. Its design is still relevant for today’s beach-style living, but also offers a unique opportunity to refresh or rebuild and create a new chapter in this rare oceanfront location. The home, which is listed at $17,000,000$20,000,000, features a large beachside patio, three bedroom main residence, pool, cabana/guest house, private green courtyards, and ample guest parking, all just a few steps from the sand. For more information about the property or to schedule a private showing, please contact: Patricia Kramer, Eric Iantorno, Cathleen Shera or Margaret McIntosh at (858)352-7771.
