City Council authorizes specific plan process for Watermark Del Mar

July 24, 2014

Opening Day at Del Mar Del Mar’s racing season kicked off in style once again with one of the area’s biggest social events, Opening Day on July 17. The centerpiece of the seaside oval’s celebration was the Opening Day Hats Contest, now in its 20th year. See more photos inside. For photos online, visit ww.delmartimes. net.

BY KRISTINA HOUCK Community members will have multiple opportunities to share their thoughts on a proposed housing project, after the Del Mar City Council’s authorization of a specific plan process for Watermark Del Mar. Unveiled during an open house last July, the one- and two-story multi-unit residential project is proposed for the vacant property on the southwest corner of Jimmy Durante Boulevard and San Dieguito Road — an area that lies in the commercial zone. Although Del Mar has not yet received an application from the property owners, city staff recommended the council authorize the specific plan process so San Dieguito Land Partners, the potential applicant, could move forward with it. The specific plan process sets special development standards that apply to a specific geographical area. See WATERMARK, page 22

Valets, timed spots, rooftops among parking solutions under study in SB BY KRISTINA HOUCK Valet parking, timed parking and rooftop parking are possible solutions to Solana Beach’s lack of parking along Coast Highway 101 and the Cedros Design District, council members said at a special meeting July 16. Concerned about the city’s limited parking, residents and business owners have explored possible solutions in three community workshops over the past several months. Hosted by the Highway 101/Cedros Avenue Development Standing Committee, the workshops were led by council liaisons Deputy Mayor Lesa Heebner and Councilman Mike Nichols. During the special meeting, council members discussed the top four ideas and asked city staff to study them and report back. The ideas included allowing business to use valet services, setting time limits on some parking spaces and allowing rooftop parking in some sections of the city. Workshop attendees suggested starting with three 20-minute spaces along Highway 101, near the UPS store, See PARKING, page 19

Many parents relieved by admission of wait-listed high school freshmen BY KAREN BILLING The San Dieguito Union High School District found a way to get all 190 wait-listed freshmen into their schools of choice — a big relief for the frustrated parents of disappointed students who have now gained admittance to San Dieguito High

School Academy and Canyon Crest Academy this fall. “I wish you all could’ve been there when I gave my son the news,” Cardiff resident Jim Bush told the school board members at their July 17 meeting. “I don’t think I’ve ever seen a 14-year-old as happy.”

Superintendent Rick Schmitt said the district’s goal is always to match students with their first-choice schools. Admitting all of the wait-listed ninth-graders was made possible by recent approval for new buildings at Canyon Crest and San Dieguito, provided by Prop AA

funding, giving the district a long-term capacity solution to allow it to build bigger classes of 2018, 2019 and 2020. “We are confident that we can accommodate all students who select the academies at grade nine,” Schmitt said. “The solution

is a fair one, a just one and it is about supporting kids.” While some parents used the word “miracle” to describe the solution, it was actually the result of a lot of hard work, said trustee Beth Hergesheimer. See ADMISSION, page 8

DM City Council to hear appeal of proposed two-story home BY KRISTINA HOUCK After hearing concerns from multiple neighbors, the Del Mar City Council on July 21 unanimously decided to consider an appeal of a two-story, single-family home proposed on Ocean View Avenue. The Design Review Board conditionally approved design review, land conservation and coastal development permits for the project at its May 28 meeting. Joseph Dietz, who lives across the street from the proposed development, appealed the Design Review Board’s decision, arguing that the project blocked coastal views and detracted from the natural beauty of the coastal area. “The Review Board, I feel, has missed the basic requirement of trying to preserve what scenic views we have available to not only ourselves, but the general public,” said Dietz, who has lived in the community for 64 years. Kerry and Michelle Marsh have asked to demolish a two-story home with a detached carport in order to construct a new, two-story, single-family residence with a basement, pool and spa at 340 Ocean View Ave. The requested permits would allow the applicant to perform associated gut and fill grading, landscaping and structural site improvements, including the removal of six of the 11 Torrey Pine trees from the 14,350-squarefoot lot. The project was brought before the Design Review Board three times — in December, February and March — before the board conditionally approved the permits in May. At that time, the applicant presented re-

vised plans that included lowering the levels of the house as well as the pitch of the roofs. Doing so reduced the proposed structure to a height that is approximately 3 feet taller than the existing structure in the location of the new garage and 26.5 inches taller in the location of the proposed entry. Brian Church, owner of Del Mar-based Brian Church Architecture, said the plans — which had been revised three times — actually opened up new views. Still, a number of neighbors submitted letters in support of the appeal. Several neighbors spoke in person to urge the council to hear the matter. “It’s totally unnecessary to take public view away,” said resident Linda Deftos. “And the Torrey pine trees are what enhance the view. … The views through the branches of Torrey pine trees are what make it special in that area.” “Public views are impacted by the design; it’s irrefutable,” said neighbor Clive Freeman. “There are reasonable alternatives for design. The site is quite large. You can actually plan a decent building on that site without contributing to public views. Therefore, in this instance, I think review by the council is significantly warranted.” Only two council members had to agree to set an appeal hearing, but all four present council members voted to hear the matter. Deputy Mayor Al Corti recused himself from the issue because Brian Church Architecture is working on his property. City Manager Scott Huth said the public hearing should take place in September.

Motorcyclist killed in accident near Del Mar Fairgrounds BY CITY NEWS SERVICE The motorcyclist killed in a two-vehicle crash near the Del Mar Fairgrounds over the weekend was identified July 21 as a 22-year-old Escondido man. Alexander Mackenzie Williams was headed west on Via de la Valle near Jimmy Durante Boulevard at a high rate of speed shortly before 6:30 p.m. Sunday, July 20, when he lost control and swerved into oncoming traffic, according to the Medical Examiner’s Office and the sheriff’s department. Sheriff’s officials said it is possible that Williams had been riding in tandem with another rider or racing another rider just before the crash. He could have struck a cone being used for traffic control near the Del Mar Racetrack, they added. Williams was thrown from the motorcycle and landed under the front end of a stopped Hyundai, sheriff’s Sgt. Joe Tomaiko said. Williams’ motorcycle then crashed into an eastbound Toyota sedan, then two other vehicles. Williams died at the scene, authorities said. Tomaiko said none of the other vehicles’ occupants were injured and that alcohol was not believed to have been a factor in the crash.

San Dieguito Union High School District cap and gown refunds coming BY KAREN BILLING The check should be in the mail soon, if not already, from the San Dieguito Union High School District for those families requesting a refund from graduation cap and gown rental, according to Eric Dill, associate superintendent of business services. A Uniform Complaint against the district was filed by non-district parent Sally Smith last May on the subject of the district levying improper fees. Dill said a review determined that the district was “compliant in all areas” except for the cap and gown fees. At the July 17 San Dieguito Union High School District board meeting, Dill said the district had received 315 refund requests and they are in the process of refunding the rental fees, an amount of just under $15,000. Smith is appealing the district’s decision to the California Department of Education.

Suspected drunken driving arrests made on Opening Day BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Law enforcement officers arrested 13 suspected drunken drivers around the Del Mar Racetrack during patrols that began a few hours after 75th season of local thoroughbred racing got underway, a sheriff’s sergeant said. The multi-agency patrols around the seaside racetrack, and in Del Mar, Encinitas, San Diego and Solana Beach got underway at 5 p.m. Thursday, July 17, according to sheriff’s Sgt. David Cheever. The 14 teams of deputies and officers stopped 183 vehicles between Thursday evening, July 17, and 2 a.m. July 18 and made 13 suspected drunken driving arrests, including one driver who was found to be in possession of brass knuckles, Cheever said. The patrol officers also cited one person for possession of marijuana and ticketed 50 others for various violations, Cheever said. Four vehicles were impounded.

Carmel Valley family to host orphaned child from Colombia this summer •Kidsave program seeks to connect children with potential families BY KAREN BILLING A Carmel Valley couple is hoping to give an orphaned Colombian child a chance to find an adoptive family this summer. Suzanne Bacon and Jared Jacobsen are participating as a host family in the Summer Miracles program of Kidsave, an organization that brings older orphanage and foster kids to the United States to give them an opportunity to become a part of a loving family. Bacon and Jacobsen will host 12-year-old Sebastian for a month starting Aug. 1. Sebastian is just one of 31 Colombian children who are coming to the country with Kidsave this summer. The number of children who come is determined by the families who volunteer to host them, so every spot truly counts. “I do feel like we’re making a difference,” Jacobsen said. “We’re looking forward to giving someone that opportunity. It was especially attractive to me because they’re older kids who are getting to the end of their childhood; it’s a last chance to have a family.” Just seven children are coming to California and only three to Southern California — Jacobsen and Bacon are the only San Diego family participating as hosts this summer. The biggest group of children (16) will be in the Washington, D.C., metro area and the rest dispersed throughout the country, according to Delta Kirkland, the Summer Miracles program assistant manager. While the children are in the U.S., they will be attending weekend advocacy events, and families interested in meeting the kids are invited to attend and get to know them. Kidsave, with offices in D.C. and Los Angeles, was founded in 1997; its first program year was 1999. This is Kidsave’s 16th summer presenting the Summer Miracles program. The program has brought children from Russia and Kazakhstan in the past, but now focuses its efforts on Colombia. Many children live in orphanages in Colombia, as they have lost parents because of civil conflict and HIV/AIDS.

Courtesy photo Others are abandoned because of extreme poverty, parental drug abuse or arrest, or are left without homes after serving time as child combatants. “We saw a need in Colombia, especially for ‘older’ children,” Kirkland said. “It’s challenging in any country to find adoptable families for older children … The kids in our program go up to age 14, so this is really the last opportunity they have to find a family.” In Colombia, orphans are emancipated from the child welfare system at age 18. Many leave orphanages without an education, unable to support themselves and with no caring adult to guide them. Kidsave is not an adoption agency, but it coordinates

with highly accredited agencies as well as the Colombian government to work as advocates for people who are looking to complete the adoption journey, Kirkland said. Kirkland said there have been many happy success stories over the years. “Seventy-five to 80 percent (of the kids in the program) have found families, so it’s a very effective family visit model,” Kirkland said. One host participant last year, Adam in New York, adopted 13-year-old Cristian in November 2013 after his onemonth summer stay. He said Kidsave was an extremely powerful volunteer opportunity, the process was amazing and there was no doubt that Cristian was the son he was meant to have. “My heart melted the first time that I was called father,” Adam said on the Kidsave website. Another success story, Galina from Kazakhstan, lived in horrible conditions in an orphanage after her father overdosed and her mother was not fit to take care of her. “No child should have to live this way. Not when there are other options. Not when there is hope,” Galina wrote. “Kidsave was my hope.” Galina visited the U.S. in 2003 with Summer Miracles and was adopted as a 9-year-old. She said that, for the first time, she felt love unconditionally. Today she is a freshman at Pepperdine University. Jacobsen and Bacon do not have children of their own and have lived in Carmel Valley since 2002. Bacon works at UC San Diego in the alumni and community engagement department. She has been involved in nonprofits such as the Friends of the Carmel Valley Library and Survivors of Torture International. Jacobsen is a former teacher and filmmaker who also does statistical educational research. The couple also lived in Mexico for a year in 2003-04 on a sabbatical, where they taught English and worked on improving their Spanish. Jacobsen found Kidsave as he was researching adoption

Local youth takes third place at inventors’ competition

Grace Daniels has donated at least 10 inches of her hair every three years. COURTESY PHOTO

Denico Nieves-Ellis won third place in the final competition for the recent districtwide Inventor’s Showcase Competition for Del Mar Union School District. Denico was in the sixth grade at the time. His invention combined the everyday practicality of a flatbed dolly with the ingenuity of a hovercraft, to make a “Hover Cart� capable of adjusting to accommodate various load sizes. His invention made use of several mathematical and scientific theorems to design the control dial that distributes the necessary air pressure for The Hover Cart to be pushed by the touch of a finger, despite having a heavy load. In addition, Denico thought of a security device for The Hover Cart, so that he may market his invention to major box stores that can benefit from increased sales as a result of its use. Denico is seeking a patent for his invention.

CV girl donates hair to Locks of Love for 3rd time BY KRISTINA HOUCK Grace Daniels was 5 years old when she first donated her hair to children without any. Now 11, the Carmel Valley girl recently donated her hair to Locks of Love for a third time. Locks of Love is a nonprofit organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children suffering from long-term medical hair loss. “I like to repurpose anything I can,� said Grace, a sixth grader at Ocean Air Elementary School. “Instead of just cutting it and throwing it away, I can give my hair to other kids in need.� Grace has always grown her auburn-colored hair long, said her mother, Chia Daniels. Since Grace was 5, she has donated at least 10 inches of her hair to Locks of Love every three years. After cutting 11 inches off July 22 at Bambinos Salon for Kids in Carmel Valley, Grace has donated more than 30 inches to the organization. “It’s so long and it’s a unique color,� said Chia, whose family has lived in Carmel Valley since 2005. “Instead of just cutting it, we thought it would be nice to donate it to kids who might not be able to have hair.� Locks of Love requires donated hair to be at least 10 inches long. Hair must also be in a ponytail or a braid before it is cut. Donors can visit a participating hair salon, such as Bambinos, or mail their donation in directly. For more information about Locks of Love, visit www.locksoflove.org.

Former Solana Beach resident to represent U.S. in inaugural European Peace Walk BY KRISTINA HOUCK A former Solana Beach resident has been selected to represent the United States in an international peace walk to commemorate the 100th anniversary of World War I. As the U.S. ambassador in the inaugural European Peace Walk, Ruthi Solari will join more than 100 individuals representing other countries in a 23-day, 341-mile trek across Europe. “I’m tremendously honored to represent the U.S. in the walk,” said Solari, founder and executive director of SuperFood Drive, a nonprofit that works to make healthy food accessible to all. “It’s recognition for what I’ve done so far, promoting equality and peace. But it’s also an invitation to really keep paving the way.” Kicking off July 28, the European Peace Walk goes through six European countries, starting in Vienna, Austria, and then passing through Hungary, Croatia and Slovenia before ending at the Mediterranean Sea in Trieste, Italy. The walk is also open to the public, with participants starting every day for two weeks. “I’m looking forward to connecting with people along the way. All these people have stories of their families being torn apart and what it felt like to live through the World Wars,” said Solari, who added that her grandparents fled Germany during World War II. The Europeans “are so excited this peace initiative is coming through their land. They want to share their stories.” During the walk, Solari hopes to raise $5,000 for Women for Women International, a nonprofit humanitarian organization that provides financial aid, job training, rights awareness and leadership education to female survivors of war. Promoting peace and female empowerment has always been important to Solari, just like promoting health, she said. A nutritionist, she launched SuperFood Drive in 2009. The San Diego-based nonprofit supports hunger relief organizations by sourcing and providing healthy food for people in need.

to celebrate the present European culture of peace. After its inaugural year, walk organizers plan to open the route annually, in hopes it will become a popular destination for hikers globally. “I hope people walk it for generations to come,” Solari said. “I also hope it increases dialogue, not just about the past, but about what peace looks like today and how it should look in the future.” For more about the European Peace Walk, visit www. peacewalk.eu.

Ruthi Solari will represent the U.S. in an international peace walk across Europe marking the 100th anniversary of World War I. COURTESY PHOTO Originally from Northern California, Solari moved to San Diego to study international studies at UC San Diego. She later studied at the Natural Healing Institute in Encinitas, becoming a certified nutritionist. She has since earned her master’s in mind-body medicine from Saybrook University in San Francisco. She now lives with her husband in Switzerland, and learned about the European Peace Walk while attending an event hosted by the Future of Human Rights Forum in Geneva. After further research, she decided to volunteer and was eventually chosen as the U.S. ambassador for the walk. “Most of the changes I’ve seen have all come from grass-roots initiatives,” Solari said. “So when I saw that that’s what this was, it spoke to my soul. Not only is it an opportunity for a personal journey, but it’s an opportunity to really raise awareness.” The European Peace Walk is a cross-border initiative set on creating a walkway along the borders of Central Europe

Former Navy SEALs perform skydive at Del Mar Racetrack A team of former US Navy SEALs from Skydiving Innovations performed a spectacular skydive on July 20 above the Del Mar Racetrack, to celebrate the SEAL-Naval Special Warfare Family Foundation and US Marines Forces Special Operations Command (MARSOC) Foundation’s Day at the Races for special operators and their families. This was the first joint event of special operators and their families from the SEAL-NSW Family Foundation and the MARSOC Foundation. The skydive featured a free fall with smoke from 6,000 feet, with opening parachutes at 2,500 feet, then a landing with a “We Support Our Troops” banner. Skydivers also executed a biplane formation with smoke, and flew in with all five military service flags on a lanyard below him; with the performance culminating with one skydiver slowly descending with the giant 2,500-square-foot American flag. All members of the Skydiving Innovations team landed on the Del Mar race track, right in front of the Grandstands. Following the skydive, one family from both the SEALNSW Family Foundation and MARSOC were honored at the race track’s Winner’s Circle. For more information, visit www.marsocfoundation.org.

DMVA donates beach wheelchairs

The Ranglases at the top of Haleakala Volcano in Hawaii, part of the trip they won.

Del Mar residents back from Sports Chalet trip Tom Ranglas of Del Mar, owner of The Poseidon restaurant, won “The Sport Chalet Win A Trip To Hawaii” sweepstakes and recently returned home from his trip. The grand prize he won included round-trip airfare for two to Kahului Airport, accommodations at the Lumeria Maui, and tickets to OluKai’s annual Ho’olaulea’a concert. Upon returning, Tom said, “We had an amazing time staying at the Lumiera. We enjoyed the yoga classes at the hotel and the serene and beautiful grounds. The OluKai concert was a treat and a great way to spend the afternoon listening to some great local musicians. “One of the most memorable days was driving to the top of Haleakala volcano. We ventured through downpours of rain, clouds, and winding roads to make it to the sunny top of Haleakala. Thank you, OluKai and Sports Chalet, for making this memorable trip possible.”

BY KAREN POWELL The sell-out crowd and subsequent grand success of Del Mar Village Association’s Summer Solstice, held on June 19 in the oceanfront Powerhouse Park, allowed DMVA to purchase two sand-worthy wheelchairs for Del Mar’s Safety Center. At a cost of $2,500 apiece, these specialized chairs were purchased to benefit the Challenged Athletes Foundation’s Operation Rebound Program. The program serves wounded troops and first responders injured in the line of duty, and the fat-tire wheelchairs allow access to the ocean and the beach. The athletes can be seen participating in and enjoying various water activities on Thursday mornings near the 17th Street lifeguard tower. The Challenged Athletes Foundation was established in 1997 and grew out of the need to assist one athlete who became paralyzed in a triathlon. From this modest beginning arose a more important mission — to make sure that people with physical challenges have the same freedom to enjoy sports as everyone The DMVA was able to purchase and else.

CV mom, son to volunteer in Peru TPHS Falcon Football invites all to gourmet Tailgate Party

BY KRISTINA HOUCK While other 13-year-olds are hanging out with friends or playing video games, Alex Schaerer will be spending his summer volunteering with his mother in Peru. On July 25, the Carmel Valley mother and son are traveling to the city of Cuzco, near the famed ruins of Machu Picchu, to volunteer at an orphanage for three weeks. “I think the trip will give me a greater understanding of Lisa and Alex Schaerer. the culture and the language, Photo by Kristina Houck as well as a greater appreciation for what we have,” said Alex, an eighth-grader at Pacific Ridge School in Carlsbad. The duo booked their trip through International Volunteer HQ, a travel company that sends volunteers to developing countries to provide aid and assistance. Established in July 2007, IVHQ works in more than 25 countries and places thousands of volunteers abroad every year. Alex’s mother, Lisa Schaerer, said she has always wanted to volunteer abroad. A nurse at San Diego Unified School District’s Language Academy, Schaerer is fluent in Spanish, so Peru was a “perfect fit.” “I’m looking forward to being able to help make a small difference in the lives of these kids,” Schaerer said. “I know that in three weeks I’m not going to change their lives, but I’m hoping that just interacting and giving a little more TLC will at least make their lives a little bit better.” For more about IVHQ, visit www.volunteerhq.org. Look for a story on the Schaerers’ experience in Peru in this newspaper when they return.

Schmitt said Michael Grove, associate superintendent of educational services and district staff, took the time to re-evaluate room use, work on master schedules and look at locations of special programs. Some classrooms will be consolidated, and teachers will share teaching space as needed. “I would like to thank the teachers for their flexibility,” Schmitt said. “They also believe that ninth-grade students should get their first-choice high school.” Schmitt also thanked the parent community for advocating so strongly for their children. In June, several parents questioned the high school selection and lottery process after 65 students did not get into San Dieguito, and 125 students were wait-listed at Canyon Crest Academy. A community meeting was organized and the parents asked the district to explore the possibility of changing San Dieguito High School Academy to a boundary school. As it stands, the district’s two academies are non-boundary schools and any student in the district can apply to attend. If demand exceeds capacity, the district by law must conduct

an unbiased lottery. Schmitt said issues related to boundaries are complex, but the district is willing to examine high school enrollment through an ad-hoc task force and a community-wide survey to see whether the district wants to continue to have “schools of choice.” “It’s a puzzle of many pieces that has to be approached deliberately and thoughtfully,” said board member Barbara Groth. “I’m happy to hear there is community support for finding a long-term solution … It’s cool to hear that kids want to be at a school. It’s gratifying beyond our expectations.” As parent Bush noted, it wasn’t just the parents of wait-listed children who spoke up in the past few months, but the entire community, which he felt was “remarkable.” Encinitas resident Simeon Greenstein said he was impressed by the outcry of “brilliant, articulate parents energized by a commitment to their children” and by the district that was so willing to listen. “I’m thrilled at the way the board and administration actively attempted to address what looked like a no-win situation,” Greenstein said. Parents said that issues still need to be resolved, such as the potential to allow closeness to a school to be a consideration in future lotteries, and to ensure the district keeps its goals for “equity and excellence.” Cardiff resident Chris Schwartz said that all the families who got involved to effect change want to continue to help the district find a long-term solution. “This is just the beginning of a lot of work, and we know the administration has taken a major leap forward,” Schwartz said. “There are a lot of volunteers waiting in the wings to help get where you need to be.” Amid the joy expressed by parents of newly admitted San Dieguito students, Leucadia resident Sheri Perlman was still looking for her happy ending. Perlman bought her house in the district last year and her two children were denied access into San Dieguito — they were told that no exceptions could be made. A sophomore and a junior, they remain on the wait list — while all the ninth-grade wait-listers were accepted. “At best it’s unfair, and at worst, it’s illegal,” Perlman said. “Nothing states that ninth-graders get priority. The education code says the lottery has to be random and unbiased.” Schmitt thanked Perlman for her comment and said that Grove would be in contact with her. The San Dieguito wait list has 46 sophomores, 35 juniors and 33 seniors. At CCA, the wait list has 103 sophomores, 41 juniors and 23 seniors.

The athletes practiced with their respective teams over the past week. Their parents said the girls have been welcomed as friends and teammates. The trio will join North Shore’s 12U Gold team, which qualified for Nationals with strong wins at the state tournament in Lancaster earlier this month.

Future of Brady Aiken, former Cathedral Catholic pitcher and Number 1 MLB Draft Pick, now unclear BY ROB LEDONNE The future of Brady Aiken, the former star pitcher for Cathedral Catholic High School who was named the No. 1 Major League Baseball draft pick in June, is now uncertain after a deal collapsed between Aiken and the team that drafted him, the Houston Astros. In what became a national sports story and a top trending United States topic on Twitter late last week, the deadline for Aiken signing a contract with the Astros came and went without a deal. This, after the 17-yearold pitcher was the toast of the sports world and the hottest prospect in baseball, and a contract with the Astros seemed inevitable. Signing the deal, which would have netted Aiken about $8 million, hinged on a physical which at first seemed like a mere technicality. However, the Astros soon raised concerns regarding a “significant abnormality” in Aiken’s elbow. Considering that Aiken’s pitch was last clocked in at 97 mph and was cleared to be in top shape by outside physicians, baseball observers saw the Astros’ concerns as a negotiating tactic in hopes of decreasing Aiken’s hefty price tag. The collapse of the deal means Aiken becomes just the third No. 1 prospect in Major League Baseball draft history to go unsigned. Casey Close, who serves as a family advisor to Aiken, said in a statement, “Brady has been seen by some of the most experienced and respected orthopedic arm specialists in the country, and all of those doctors have acknowledged that he’s not injured and that he’s ready to start his professional career.” The collapse of the deal

Signing with the Astros would have meant an $8 million deal for Brady Aiken. Photo by Jon Clark is also in stark contrast to the feelings of Astros manager Jeff Luhnow, who said to the media upon signing Aiken that he was “the most advanced high school pitcher I’ve ever seen in my entire career.” As consensus began to grow that the Astros’ concerns were faulty, negative reaction came swiftly in national sports media. Tom Ley, writer for sports website Deadspin, noted in a recent post that “pretty much every pitcher has abnormalities in their arm if you want to go looking for them,” with Yahoo! MLB columnist Jeff Passen tweeting, “There is no other way to put it: Without signing Brady Aiken or others, this draft was a complete and unequivocal disaster for the Astros.” In the media, Close’s frustration is apparent, saying, “We are extremely disappointed that Major

League Baseball is allowing the Astros to conduct business in this manner with a complete disregard for the rules governing the draft and the 29 other clubs who have followed those same rules.” In the Astros’ defense, Luhnow recently said, “We did nothing unethical, we did nothing disingenuous. We tried to sign good players at the appropriate values and that’s all we ever do with the draft.” Aiken is the former star pitcher for the Cathedral Catholic High School baseball team, graduating from the school in June. In a recent interview with the Del Mar Times, Aiken’s high school coach, Gary Remiker, had high praise for his star player. “Based on natural talent alone, he’d be one of the better pitchers in San Diego,” Remiker said then. “However, that can only get you so far, because what set Brady apart was his work ethic ... He constantly avoided many of the temptations a senior in high school may come across.” Where Aiken goes now is unclear, with many guessing he could either sit out a year and wait for another shot in the 2015 draft, or enroll at UCLA where he would play on the university’s baseball team, a prospect Aiken raised when talking to the Del Mar Times in May before being named the No. 1 pick. “It’s been a goal since I was little to get drafted and play professional baseball,” he said at the time. “Everything I’ve done (throughout my life) has helped me get where I am today.”

SDJA volleyball group ‘ties’ winning, caring for others BY GIDEON RUBIN Shannon Saffer has been involved in community service and volunteering for years. She is the Jewish Community Center’s incoming Community Service Board’s Executive Leader. Savanna Lurie designed T-shirts for last year’s annual “Dig Pink” breast cancer awareness events. The San Diego Jewish Academy girls’ volleyball standouts, both incoming seniors, are like many athletes throughout the nation involved in community involvement at some level. But to hear them tell it, caring for others isn’t just something that’s encouraged by the program — it’s the essence of the program. “Through that,” Saffer said, “I learned how to be a leader, which I’ve brought back to the court.” Saffer and Lurie’s commitment to community involvement was instilled by SDJA coach Melissa Maxwell-Junge since both were in sixth grade. That was in 2008, MaxwellJunge’s first year running the program. Maxwell-Junge, a social worker, has made helping others — on and off the court — an integral part of the team’s culture. And at SDJA, caring for others and winning have gone hand in hand. The Lions have made the playoffs all six seasons since Maxwell-Junge took over what was a downtrodden program. “There’s some teams where you just play to win, and they put all their effort into improving their skills,” Lurie said. “We put a lot of effort into improving our skills, too, but we do a lot of team bonding. Everything is based on helping the team, so if you get subbed out, or if you’re put in a position that you’re not extremely comfortable in, you know you’re doing it for the team, so that’s kind of a big thing. “We want everyone to feel comfortable at all times so that they’ll play their best.” Lurie and Saffer are among the key returnees on a Lions team that Maxwell-Junge projects to be perhaps one of the best in program history. Lurie was a first-team All-Coastal League North selection last season and Saffer an honorable mention.

Others to watch include standout outside hitter Sara Chitlik, an incoming junior, who’s among the team’s most talented returnees. Incoming freshman Sophia Flores, a 6-foot middle blocker, is a potential impact player with great raw ability, Maxwell-Junge said, but it has not yet been determined whether she’ll start the season on the varsity team. Lurie and Saffer have played on the varsity team since they were freshmen. Both have the potential to play at fouryear colleges, Maxwell-Junge said. And both bring more to the Lions than just physical talents. “They bring unity, they bring leadership and they bring enthusiasm,” Maxwell-Junge said. Lurie and Saffer exemplify what Maxwell-Junge has nurtured in the program, with both players going all-in on the Lions’ unselfish credo. “The biggest thing (Maxwell-Junge) has taught me is how to be a team player, putting the team before yourself,” Saffer said. But team unity starts with taking time to address whatever is on the minds of her players. At the start of practices, Maxwell-Junge asks players not about their game-readiness, but how their days went. Before home matches, the team gathers in a circle, with players discussing anything that might be bothering them in a ritual that looks more like group therapy than adrenalinepumping pre-game rallying. The Lions call it their “shoe-tying” ritual. “We talk about things outside volleyball,” Saffer said. “We get it all out and we kind of communicate with each other, and then we all tie our shoes. “Then we leave all that other stuff behind.” Does it help? “I think so,” Saffer said. “You get (your problems) out of your system and it sets the mood for the rest of the game.” This approach to coaching results in more caring, more trust, and more communication between players, Saffer said. And she believes it improves performance, too. “I think it helps when the team has a bunch of good players that are really nice to each other and are friendly,” Saffer said.

Shannon Saffer, left, and Savanna Lurie. Photo by Craig Saffer “You can’t just have a team with a bunch of good players that don’t actually connect at all. (Volleyball) is a sport where you actually need to connect on the court, so having the nicer people and being able to communicate with each other and making like a family bond makes a really big difference, because then you know how you’re connecting with the players and it’s just a better game. “And it’s more fun that way.”

Patriot Profiles: ‘Experiences good or bad, you’re never going to forget them’ This column presents “Patriot Profiles” to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes.

BY JEANNE MCKINNEY Mobility across natural obstacles can save lives in war. The capture of the Ludendorff Bridge that spanned the Rhine River at Remagen, Germany, infuriated Hitler, as it allowed Allied troops to drive to the heart of Germany. When a tactical need arises and a bridge doesn’t already exist, combat engineers can build them, providing a distinct strategic advantage on the battlefield. Cpl. Jervis Hettrick, a combat engineer with the 7th Engineer Support Battalion, is dubbed “a jack of all trades.” He joined the Marine Corps with some roofing background, a year of college and a fascination with everything going on in the war after 9/11 hit close to home in Union Beach, N.J. As soon as his recruiter read him the job description he knew it was right for him, saying, “I like getting my hands dirty ... yes, this is what I wanted to do.” Three and a half months of Engineer School in Camp Lejeune, N.C., taught Hettrick the basics of route clearance, demolition, vertical and horizontal construction, survivability and bridging. He joined the fleet in Okinawa, Japan, and was put in a bridge platoon. “They told me, ‘Get ready, you’re deploying to Afghanistan,’” said Hettrick. During a pre-deployment work-up, they built bridge after bridge. “You learn as you go from your staff noncommissioned officers — people who have been there, done that.” In 2012, Hettrick was sent to a hotbed of Taliban in Mirmandab, Helmand Valley, Afghanistan, who were raining down bullets, grenades and mortars on Alpha Company 9th ESB. He was part of engineering operations that supported Special Operations Task Force West, part of Marine Corps Special Operations Command. The gamut of Hettrick’s training came into play. The task was clear: Enable force vehicle mobility (then limited to foot traffic) and establish a new patrol base and support platform, enabling SOTF-West to push further north to eliminate pockets of insurgents causing havoc. Bridge building outside the concertina wire is stepping out in no-man’s-land where, according to Hettrick, “Anything can

Cpl. Jervis Hettrick. Photo by Jeanne McKinney happen at any time. Obviously, improvised explosive devices are always a threat. “If the enemy sees you re-conning a bridge site — getting measurements and everything, they know what you’re doing and go place IEDS there. We had guys designated in our platoon to do the sweeping.” Despite careful efforts, “Three weeks into our deployment, one of my corporals, Sgt. Nick Kimmel, stepped on an IED — lost his legs and one arm. When you deploy with an Engineer Support Battalion, everyone’s saying, ‘You’re not going to see combat — you’re not going to see this or that.’…” Hettrick responds to the assertion, “It is combat,” with “Yeah.” “We had about 30-40 guys on a bridge crew, but everybody is building the bridge. Gunners would provide security. One (bridge) was over just a little gap. We replaced that with a culvert two months later. One was an 11-bay double-story medium-girder bridge over a river. There was another small one we replaced with a non-standard (wooden) bridge — a more permanent structure.” “Man-size Legos” is what Hettrick and fellow engineers call bridge parts. “Medium-girder bridges are worth a lot of money,” he explains. “It’s magnesium zinc alloy — really strong. If we’re pulling out of Afghanistan, we’re going to want to take those bridges with us. “Our job the entire deployment was taking the medium bridges out and replacing them with non-standard bridges,” which he described as “concrete footers on each side of the gap with a steel I-beam running across. Then, you deck it.” Demolition is Hettrick’s favorite part of his job. When they found IEDs while building a bridge, he had fun shooting off MCLCs — “That’s a mine-clearing line charge. It is 1,750 pounds of C-4 (explosive) connected to a rocket. “It’s crucial. If you’re trying to get from point A to point B and you’ve got a river there, instead of going out of your way for a few hours or days, we can come in and build a bridge in a couple hours. We were constantly working, whether we were outside the wire or inside the wire — always preparing the next bridge,” said Hettrick. The Germans didn’t see success when they launched a massive counter attack against the Ludendorff bridgehead. American troops had built pontoon and treadway bridges adjacent to the span — a tenacious assurance the Allied advance would continue, even when the Ludendorff suddenly collapsed. The nine-plus bridges still left in the Helmand Valley by 9th ESB are a tenacious reminder of Marines finding solutions. These engineering feats, pounded by armored tracks, tires, and boot steps, also give local villagers reliable routes to connect socially and economically. Hettrick says, “That bridge is going to stay there even after the war — those Afghan people are going to use that bridge every day.” In addition to bridges, four new patrol bases with berms, concertina wire, guard towers, and berthing areas offer Marines refuge in no-man’s-land, thanks to the laboring hands of Hettrick and his platoon. “We even built two patrol bases for the Georgians.” He explained that along with the Georgians and Jordanians, “there were a whole bunch of people over there.” When a school in the Philippines was damaged by a See PATRIOT, page 22

Education Matters/Opinion

Pushing boundaries

BY MARSHA SUTTON Few issues cause parents more distress than Marsha Sutton changes in school boundaries. Who can forget the tumult when in 2002 the Del Mar Union School District moved hundreds of families from one attendance area to another? Resentment still lingers, 12 years later. The San Dieguito Union High School District created its system of boundaries nearly 18 years ago that has worked well over time – until now. SDUHSD was caught off-guard by the intensity of the protests from parents who noisily made themselves heard at recent board meetings and in a barrage of emails and phone calls to district staff and board members. But no one can say the district wasn’t responsive. Administrators may not have anticipated the problem, an oversight some may fault them for, but they’ve mopped up a potentially volatile situation quite nicely for this year … and are recognizing that the issue needs attention for years beyond 2014. San Dieguito Academy is located in Encinitas, just east of I-5, in the northern part of the district. SDA is considered a “school of choice” – meaning any student living within the boundaries of the entire San Dieguito district can choose to attend. The same “school of choice” principle applies to Canyon Crest Academy, located in the southern portion of the district, in the Pacific Highlands Ranch community east of Carmel Valley. Both “choice” schools have what’s called a 4x4 schedule which allows students to complete four classes in half a year, so they can take eight classes each year. The district’s other two high schools – Torrey Pines in the south and La Costa Canyon in the north – utilize a more traditional schedule of six classes a year, the same six classes all year long. TPHS and LCC are “boundary” schools, meaning that any student living within the school’s established boundary is guaranteed admission to that school. So anyone living in the north will go to LCC and in the south will attend TP – unless they choose and are admitted to one of the two “choice” schools. When SDA was “re-envisioned” 18 years ago, the

goal was to attract more students to the aging school. The 4x4 schedule was established, and a new culture was created in part by minimizing a focus on athletics to appeal to students more interested in the arts. This worked well, so well in fact that when Canyon Crest opened in 2004, many of the same principles at SDA were replicated. Fast-forward to today, when so many students want to attend SDA and CCA that demand has exceeded capacity. Lotteries were established, with waitlisted students clamoring to get in. The district is working to make LCC and Torrey Pines more attractive to students, but the major pull seems to be the 4x4 schedule, which so far will not be offered at either boundary school. The other attraction is the obvious one: proximity. Many students living within walking distance of SDA were waitlisted this year, inflaming parents – and rightly so. Families with incoming ninth-graders were not the only ones upset. At a recent community meeting in Cardiff, many speakers were parents of younger children who echoed the same complaints. Election year On July 10, SDUHSD superintendent Rick Schmitt published an update on the issue, acknowledging that enrollment and boundary policies should be re-examined but not offering any real hope for waitlisted students this year. This was not well-received by parents who wanted action this fall. In a letter to the SDUHSD staff and board, Encinitas resident Jonathan Edelbrock wrote that he was concerned about “families who are troubled now” – particularly kids who live near one school but are forced to attend a second-choice school farther away. Edelbrock said the district’s policy of “choice” for SDA “is an utter failure to our families and our community” and that changes are needed immediately to accommodate children wishing to attend their neighborhood school. With pressure building for changes for this fall, the district did an about-face. One day after Schmitt’s letter to the community was published, families with waitlisted students at SDA and CCA were informed that the district would accept all incoming ninthgrade students. This amounted to 65 kids at SDA and 125 at CCA. “Recent developments

with our Proposition AA Master Plan have allowed us to review and slightly revise the long-term capacity of the school,” the district’s message said. Cynical reactions? If you make enough noise, you get your way. And if you make enough noise in an election year, then you really get your way. Of course it’s the right thing to do, to admit students to their closest school. So something had to happen. But how did it happen, when the district seemed so certain just days before that the waitlisted kids would not be offered admittance? And what does it say to the families whose kids were waitlisted at SDA and CCA in prior years who were never admitted? Mike Grove, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of educational services, said that at Canyon Crest, 701 ninth-graders were admitted before the 125 on the waitlist were notified. Of the 701, Grove said 597 accepted. Unfazed by the estimated size of the class, Grove said he expected about 80 of the 125 waitlisted students to enroll, yielding a class of approximately 677 to start the year at CCA. Grove said that prior to the addition of the 65 waitlisted SDA ninth-graders, the district admitted 526 to SDA, of which 478 accepted. “We anticipate that approximately 40 of the 65 waitlist invitees will actually enroll, yielding a ninthgrade class [at SDA] of approximately 518,” Grove said, noting that the district over-enrolls “because we know there will be attrition.” Not every SDA parent was overjoyed. Sheri Perlman’s two children have been on the SDA waitlist for two years now, and were again denied entry to the school closest to their home in Leucadia. Although pleased for the 65 ninth-graders who were admitted this year, she said her “feathers got a little ruffled” when her request for admittance was again rejected. “I don’t want to undo anything for those kids,” she said, “but there’s a system that they are supposed to follow.” Perlman said the board policy on high school selection says nothing about ninth-graders having priority over students in other grade levels. She praised the district’s staff, calling them “hard-working people” but said they should be able to accommodate the other students, especially those on the waitlist longer. At SDA, according to Grove, there are 46 10thgraders, 35 11th-graders, and 33 12th-graders on the waitlist. At CCA there are

103 10th-graders, 41 11th-graders and 23 12th-graders waitlisted. Huge numbers – 281 in total – not admitted to their first-choice school. Board directive In response to the uproar, Grove said the school board asked district staff to see if capacity could be increased at the academies to accommodate the ninth-grade students. After looking at room utilization at SDA and CCA, “we discovered that we probably could squeeze in some more kids,” he said. The capacity at SDA is about 1,600, he said, “but we can admit more because of attrition.” Opening enrollment at SDA this fall is about 1,670 – “about 20 over what we generally allow.” However, a large class one year often means a much smaller class the following year, in order not to exceed total capacity for the school. “This year the percentage of students that chose an academy went up significantly,” Grove said. “We don’t know whether that’s a one-year blip or whether that’s a trend.” Grove referred to California Education Code 35160.5 as the relevant law that guides district enrollment policies. Sponsored by then Calif. Assemblywoman Dede Alpert, this law, Assembly Bill 1114, passed in 1993. It allows intradistrict transfers as long as seats are available. If demand exceeds capacity, then districts must employ an unbiased, random lottery, giving all applicants an equal chance. Exceptions include siblings of current students, threats of bodily harm, and children of district employees. San Dieguito honors the first two exceptions but not the third. In a conversation with Dede Alpert, she said the law was never designed to prohibit children from attending their neighborhood school. She said all schools in San Dieguito could be boundary schools, but then under the law each school would be available to any student throughout the district for any remaining open seats. She also stated that she believed it was legal to have academies as San Dieguito has chosen to do. The district could have all “boundary” schools, all “choice” schools, or a mix which is the current situation. Much of the immediate energy was generated by parents with ninth-graders on the waitlist at SDA who have now been admitted. But that won’t end the controversy. “People are still interested in the long-term solution,” Grove said. “I understand,” he said. “If you live across the street, you want your kid to be able to go to the school they can walk to.” The task force the district is creating to examine the issue will try to find a balance between proximity to a neighborhood school and the flexibility of having a school of choice. The goal, Grove said, is “to brainstorm all ideas” and to “figure out how we can maintain the benefits of the choice program while trying to better meet the needs of the community.” But the idea of a task force was not universally favored. “I support neighborhood schools and believe the task force is unnecessary,” said SDUHSD board member John Salazar. He said a change “is so obviously needed.” He supports giving first priority to those who live nearby. “Then if there is room, open up to everyone else,” he said. A lovefest The July 17 school board meeting, originally expected to be jammed with angry parents, was instead a lovefest, with congratulations and gratitude all around for solving the immediate problem. With staff, board members and parents falling all over themselves to thank each other, it might have been easy to overlook the one unhappy face in the crowd. When Sheri Perlman addressed the board, she reminded everyone that the 281 students on the upper-grade waitlists are still waiting for their happy ending. Despite unresolved problems, a debt of gratitude is owed to the organized and vocal community members for stepping up and getting done what was needed years ago – a re-evaluation of outdated enrollment policies. Any change in school boundary policies will certainly leave some unhappy. But children must be guaranteed access to their neighborhood schools. Demographics change, student interests change, and neighborhoods change. So it’s time for a change in SDUHSD’s now antiquated system for high school selection, to reflect a new reality. — Marsha Sutton can be reached at suttonmarsha@gmail. com.

Letters to the editor/Opinion More water storage and renewed calls for conservation BY SUPERVISOR DAVE ROBERTS As local and state officials heighten their calls for conservation, the San Diego Water Authority this month celebrated the completion of a project that goes a long way toward ensuring water reliability for the region. The $416 million San Vicente Dam Raise project is finished. Raising the height of the dam in Lakeside greatly increases the reservoir’s capacity. Water managers say the dam raise represents the largest water storage project in county history. As the County of San Diego’s representative to the San Diego County Water Authority, I joined my water board colleagues at dedication ceremonies July 16 that were attended by nearly 200 officials from throughout the county and beyond. We shared our goodwill and congratulations near a boat ramp and marina that will open once the reservoir is full. The blue-green lake is cradled by rocky, bone-dry hills. Standing tall above the water line is more than 100 feet of new dam. The dam raise is the tallest of its kind in the nation. Construction began in 2009. California’s secretary

Dave Roberts

for natural resources, John Laird, praised the project while warning about the severity of the drought. The storage at San Vicente will provide our region with critical reserves to carry us through future shortages. Laird added that he has taken to watering his entire yard by hand, with a 2-gallon watering can. Officials measure quantities at San Vicente on a much larger scale. An acre-foot — that’s one acre of surface area filled to a depth of one foot — is a most-common unit of measurement. The San Vicente reservoir expansion adds capacity for 152,000 acre-feet. That can serve more than 300,000 homes for a year. That storage alone exceeds the capacity of any other reservoir in the county. The super-sized dam raise represents the final major piece of the water authority’s $1.5 billion Emergency Storage Project, which connects San Vicente, Olivenhain and Lake Hodges res-

ervoirs through a system of pumps and pipelines. The Emergency Storage Project can provide our region with a six-month supply of water if imported water deliveries are interrupted by an earthquake or other disaster. Built in 1943, the original San Vicente Dam was owned and operated by the city of San Diego. Celebrations for the completed dam raise were held one day after state regulators imposed unprecedented restrictions on outdoor watering that include possible fines for violators. Locally, the Water Authority’s Board of Directors is set to consider activating the next stage of the region’s drought response plan by declaring a Level 2 Drought Alert, which orders mandatory conservation measures to prevent water waste. Conservation allows us to keep as much water as possible in storage for 2015 and to comply with mandates of the State Water Resources Control Board. To learn more about our water infrastructure and the conservation mandates we face, visit the San Diego County Water Authority website at www.sdcwa.org. Dave Roberts represents the Third District on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

Some developments more creative than others How can I make this interesting? The state required the city of Del Mar to adopt a General Plan, to supposedly set out how the majority of residents want the city to be developed. That is followed by the city adopting very detailed regulations setting forth the details of how any new development will be carried out. Everyone wanting to do any development in Del Mar has to begin the regulatory process by visiting the Planning Dept. The stated mission of the Planning Dept. is — “We take pride in providing our customers with personal attention, accurate, and consistent information, as well as creative, timely solutions to complex community development issues. We will guide our customers through the planning process in a manner that instills public trust and confidence.” I highlighted “creative, timely solutions,” because “creative” didn’t seem to fit a process that is loaded with very detailed regulations to be followed. According to Merriam-Webster, “creative” is defined as 1: marked by the ability or power to create : given to creating <the creative impulse> 2: having the quality of something created rather than imitated : imaginative <the creative arts> 3: managed so as to get around legal or conventional limits <creative financing>; also : deceptively arranged so as to conceal or defraud <creative accounting>. “Something created rather than imitated”? That’s what the Del Mar Planning Dept. does — approve some developments that don’t imitate the adopted, very detailed regulations that are supposed to implement the adopted General Plan. What I find more interesting is that the Del Mar City Council appears to approve the created solutions to get around legal or conventional limits!

More secrets of Crest Canyon BY GORDON CLANTON Lying between Del Mar and Del Mar Hills, the Crest Canyon Open Space Park Preserve is an exquisite wonderland of steep, orange sandstone cliffs and slopes dense with endangered Torrey pines, fragrant coastal sage scrub, and southern maritime chaparral. The canyon is alive with birds and rabbits. Coyotes and foxes live there too. A bobcat was seen recently on the east rim. The trails of Crest Canyon can be accessed from Race Track View Drive on the north, from Durango Drive at Lozana Road on the east, and from Crest Road at Hoska Drive on the west. *** In many years of hiking in Crest Canyon, I have seen only one rattlesnake. It was stretched out across the trail, a bit more than 2 feet long and about as thick as my wrist. It was dusk, so I couldn’t see the snake clearly. It blended with the color of the sandy trail. I edged

Mitch’s Surf Shop and Pizza Port. More timed spaces are being identified for the Cedros Design District. Although they asked staff to study every idea presented during the meeting, council members were most divided on rooftop parking. Some workshop attendees suggested rooftop parking along Cedros Avenue and Highway 101. The Highway 101 Corridor Specific Plan prohibits rooftop parking in the South Cedros District and Plaza District. “If we go down this road, it’s really going to, I believe, change the character of some of these business districts,” Mayor Thomas Campbell said. “I do not want to see big-box buildings built.” Some council members suggested allowing rooftop parking in parts of South Cedros Avenue, but Campbell said the city would have to explore whether this is legal or whether it would be considered “spot zoning.” Besides valet parking, timed parking and rooftop parking, the council discussed easing parking requirements for new restaurants that open in older buildings on Highway 101, in order to support new business while preserving the corridor’s existing character. During the city’s $7

closer for a better look. When I was about 4 feet away, the snake coiled and hissed and made its menacing rattling noise before slithering into the brush out of sight. The rattling, loud and insistent, almost hypnotic, continued for almost a minute. *** Here is a fun hike for kids and parents, a short walk to a secret place. Enter the park off Durango. From the main junction and the flyways plaque near the bottom of the wooden stairs, three social trails fan out to the south. Take the trail to the far right, the way least traveled, heading due west and directly uphill. This trail leads to a magical spot where a longmillion renovation of Highway 101 last year, parallel parking spaces were replaced with angled spots, creating 57 spaces. Councilman Mike Nichols said the new spaces could be used to ease parking standards for new restaurants along Highway 101. Program participants could possibly pay in-lieu fees or use valet services to offset requirements, he said. “The economics of the properties along Highway 101 is changing fast, due to the streetscape project,” Nichols said. “These properties will become more desirable for development, and they will turn over and new projects will come forward, most of which will probably ... want to tear down these older buildings and want to build new ones. “This is an attempt to try to encourage a delay of that process, or to have a set place where some of these existing buildings can find new life.” After hearing the top suggestions, a few residents argued that the proposals would not solve Solana Beach’s parking problems. Tracy Richmond said the city should not ease parking requirements for new restaurants on Highway 101 because doing so would not only increase the need for parking, but also eventually change the character of the community. “Currently, Solana Beach is a low-key beach

Three long boards cross a fork in the fallen trunk to form what? A table? A bench? An alternate path through the maze? Mysteries abound. Who constructed this secret playground? How long ago?

With direction from the council, City Manager David Ott said staff would explore the proposals and return for more discussion. “There is pressure. ‘The secret is out,’ as Mr. Richmond said,” Deputy Mayor Lesa Heebner said. “People are coming here to develop. “If we don’t do something that is creative and out-of-the-box, what we’re going to see is a lot of boxes, because people are going to buy these spaces, tear them down, build to the max as much as they can and provide underground parking for their parking requirements. “We have to do something. That’s why we’re here talking about all these different ideas, so that we can maintain the fabric of our beach town.”

I thought it would be a great fit,” Jacobsen said. Bacon had never heard of a program like Kidsave before, but was open to the experience of being on a life-changing journey right along with Sebastian. “It was another adventure for us to do while staying here in Carmel Valley, and a great way to help someone,” Bacon said. The couple knows Sebastian’s personal story, but are not allowed to share it with the media. They’ve

In addition, the applicant plans to establish a Citizens’ Participation Program, hold three community workshops, conduct a California Environmental Quality Act scoping meeting, give presentations to the city’s Planning Commission and Design Review Board, and hold formal hearings with the Planning Commission, Design Review Board and City Council. “We’re trying to create a very, very transparent process,” said Marco Gonzalez, co-founder and managing partner of Coast Law Group, on behalf of the potential applicant. “Because this is such an important project at such an important location in this community, we want to give this added level of transparency and vision to this.” Still, three speakers urged the council to send the issue to the ballot. “I think it’s important that the majority of the people, if this development is to be developed, should at least accept it,” said resident Hershell Price. “It shouldn’t be a burden on the community or the property.” Resident Arnold Wiesel, who previously noted he lives about 300 feet away from the project site, also asked the council to let the voters decide.

In a 4-0 vote, council members on July 21 approved the specific plan process, including an outreach program, for Watermark Del Mar. Deputy Mayor Al Corti recused himself from the issue because he lives within 500 feet from the project site. Besides creating a land use designation and zone for the property, the specific plan requires opportunities for community participation throughout the process. “I think the process has multiple opportunities for public input, which is good,” said Councilman Don Mosier. Added Councilman Terry Sinnott, “I think the specific plan process is the way to go because it gives the community the maximum amount of opportunity to comment, to influence and to have an impact on what the developer is proposing.” The early design concept for Watermark Del Mar featured 54 one- to four-bedroom apartments and townhomes on the 2.3-acre site. Early plans also included seven affordable housing units, four of which would be deeded free to Del Mar Community Connections, a local volunteer organization. To encourage community involvement in the process, San Dieguito Land Partners plans to launch an interactive website, use a listserv, meet with neighbors

spent at the library and in a summer camp. Kidsave will host advocacy events for interested families to meet the Southern California children. One is scheduled for Aug. 16. Learn more at www.kidsave. org. The organization is always looking for more volunteers like the Bacons so they can bring the opportunity of family to more children. The host application can take some time to process. Kirkland said she’d love for any interested host families to get started with the application process in the fall.

ble opponents of the project. Nearly 40 people attended the meeting at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, most against the project. “When something is this contentious and this problematic and there are so many issues, it often makes sense to go to a vote,” he said. Sinnott said he wasn’t opposed to a public vote, but that discussing it was “a little bit premature” because the city hasn’t yet received a project application and the community hasn’t had the opportunity to provide input. “I’m concerned, as many residents would be, that it be done right, it be done well and it be done in a way that we could all be proud of,” Sinnott said. “I can promise, at least as one council member, if the project comes forward and there’s a lot of controversy or a lot of disagreement, and it’s not a clear benefit to the community, then, sure, we’re going to have to struggle with it at the council level,” he added. “I’m confident this council will only reflect the attitude of the community — it has done that pretty well — but that does not preclude a decision around a public vote. But I think that’s not necessary now, and I assume it won’t be necessary because the specific plan process will be done so well.”

Photographer David Kloz is having his first show at Solana Beach City Hall. Photo by Kristina Houck

Photos by Solana Beach employee featured at City Hall Gallery BY KRISTINA HOUCK From Monday through Friday, David Kloz works as a management analyst for the city of Solana Beach. When he’s not at work, Kloz is often outside with a camera. A collection of his photos is on exhibit at his workplace, the Solana Beach City Hall. It’s the amateur photographer’s first show. “I’m curious to see what the response is going to be,” Kloz said. “We all see the world in a different light.” From surfers to sunsets, “Stills of Solana Beach” features about 70 photos of the community. Installed July 9, the free exhibit is open through Aug. 15 at the City Hall Gallery. Kloz shot many of the photos while riding his bike or taking the train to and from work. “There are so many great subjects and objects around here,” said Kloz, who started with the city seven years ago, initially as an accountant. Originally from the Czech Republic, Kloz recalled playing with a camera when he was 8 years old. His interest stemmed from his grandfather, a professional artist, who specialized in photography and pencil drawings. His hobby didn’t become serious until about 10 years ago, however. “Sometimes you don’t realize the things you truly enjoy until later,” he said. Kloz relocated to the United States when he was 21 years old. He studied at Point Loma Nazarene University before finishing his bachelor’s degree in accounting at Cal State San Marcos. He worked as an accountant for the city of San Diego for about five years before coming to Solana Beach, where he now works in the city’s Human Resources Department. An Oceanside resident, he spends much of his free time as a freelance photographer. His work has been featured in a variety of publications. Whether it’s the art along the Coastal Rail Trail, or the sea cliffs along the shoreline, Kloz said he enjoys capturing the beauty of the community that some pass by every day. “There is something beyond us in this world. It’s just nice to see it from a different angle,” he said. “My dream is to capture things so people can also see things in a different way.” The exhibit is open through Aug. 15 at the Solana Beach City Hall, 635 South Highway 101. A free public reception is set for 6-8 p.m. Aug. 1. For more about Kloz and his work, visit ageofaquariusphotography.com. For more about the City Hall Gallery, visit www.ci.solana-beach.ca.us.

BY LOIS ALTER MARK “On my last book tour, I had a day off in Portland and it was very nice,” said best-selling novelist Jojo Moyes at a luncheon recently held at the Del Mar Country Club. Then she paused, looked around and added, “But I can tell you, a day off in La Jolla is better.” The British author definitely knows how to please an audience. That’s evidenced not just by the warm welcome her comment received from the dozens of fans who came to hear her speak at the Warwick’s-sponsored event at the Del Mar Country Club, or by the fact that this is her third visit to San Diego in as many years, but most tellingly, by the millions of books she’s sold. At the age of 45, Moyes has already written 11 novels, including the beloved “Me Before You,” an emotional roller-coaster of a novel responsible for passionate book club discussions and plenty of tears all around the globe. But she was here to talk about her latest novel, “One Plus One,” and she started by explaining the inspiration behind it. “I wanted to write a book about a mum,” she said. “I feel that mums get quite the raw deal in literature. In fairy tales, they’re usually dead. ‘Harry Potter?’ Dead. Oh, one of my favorite books, ‘The Goldfinch’ — chapter one? Dead. “So I wanted to represent the mothers I know who are really kind of heroic. They’re just getting on with life, they’re putting food on the table, they’re cheerful, they get a multitude of stuff done. I also wanted to write a book about a family that was not necessarily a conventional family. Because, while my husband and I might be a conventional family — there’s me, him and our three kids — my own family

‘Father of the String Quartet’ Haydn gets top billing at SummerFest

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DAVID L. CODDON Not only the brilliance but the gentle spirit of Franz Joseph Haydn will be omnipresent at La Jolla Music Society’s SummerFest 2014, which opens July 30 and for which Haydn is this year’s festival’s featured composer. “He (Haydn) was an incredibly nice person. Like Dvorak and Mendelssohn, Hayden was one of those beautiful human beings who everybody loved,” said SummerFest Music Director Cho-Liang Lin, whose festival program will feature “all sorts of facets of Haydn’s music.” SummerFest will run through Aug. 22 and include 15 concerts, most but not at all at the Museum of Contemporary Art’s Sherwood Auditorium. Lin’s choice of Haydn as featured composer wasn’t based solely on the Austrian master’s good nature. “He was a great composer,” said Lin. “Without him, Beethoven (a student of Haydn’s) and Schubert and a whole host of composers would have taken a different course. People always think of Mozart when they think of the classic Viennese era, but Haydn was even more highly regarded. He was a pioneer in string quartets. I think it’s time to give Haydn his due.” Performances devoted to Haydn are scheduled for Aug. 5 (“An Esterhazy Concert”), Aug. 12 (“Papa, Family & Protégé”) and Aug. 19 (“The Classical Icon”). As a whole, SummerFest promises an array of world-class musicians, this year including pianist Yefin Bronfman (Aug. 13), the guitar-playing Assad Brothers, Sergio and Odair (Aug. 20), English trumpet soloist Alison Balsom (Aug. 6 at St. James-by-the-Sea church), the Miro Quartet (Aug. 10 at the Auditorium at The Scripps Research Insti-

tute, or TSRI), Canadian composer Howard Shore (“The Lord of the Rings” scores) who will world-premiere a new work on Aug. 15, and composer-conductor Leonard Slatkin, who will preside over the festival finale on Aug. 22. There also will be an “Homage to Tchaikovsky” on Aug. 2, an evening of Baroque Masterworks on Aug. 8 (St. James-by-theSea) and more. “We’re going to have (pianist) Orion Weiss, who’s going to bring his wife Anna Polonsky (also a pianist) with him,” Lin said. They will be part of the “Eine Kleine Nachtmusik” program on Aug. 3 at TSRI. “And Martin Beaver, first violinist of the Tokyo Quartet (Aug. 12, in the second Haydn concert). “I think we have a pretty interesting mix. There are some new wonderful young musicians — folks in their early 30s — coming in this summer who are rapidly establishing strong careers.” Thirty-five-year-old Alison Balsom is not new to the La Jolla Music Society, but she is making her SummerFest debut, much to the delight of LJMS president and artistic director Christopher Beach. “Alison’s whole program is as new and challenging as the repertory can provide,” said Beach, extolling Balsom’s passion and clarity. “That’s the template for any artist in the performing arts, and she excels at both.” As usual, he has high praise for music director Lin’s festival programming, which he cites as organic. “We program the festival as a whole, not as a series of concerts,” Beach said, proceeding to sketch a kind of mosaic on a sheet of paper at his desk in the LJMS offices. “It’s a kind of elegant musical jigsaw puzzle,” he explains, “that needs pieces to

excite you and to surprise you, and comfortable favorites. And this festival does that.” What does it mean to surprise an audience? “You introduce them to music or repertory they don’t know,” said Beach, “or the artist presents an interpretation that challenges the way they know a work.” This, he said, is where the excitement comes in as well. “Everything (during SummerFest) is one night only, so the performances live in people’s memories. And they’re live. Anything can happen. “The more and more I know, the more I believe chamber music is the ultimate classical music experience. The chamber music concert is of a scale that a serious classical music lover can get his greatest reward be-

cause there is both the intimacy and the complexity, the immediacy and the richness.” While reveling in this year’s festival, both Beach and Lin are also looking forward to fall 2017, when LJMS will move into a new $40 million performing arts center on Fay Avenue. It will include a 500-seat concert hall as well as office space. “I think it’s immensely exciting,” said Lin, who called the venue “a dream of mine for the longest time.” Added Beach: “You don’t have big enough (size) type in your paper to reflect how excited we are. This will make a long and extraordinary contribution to the qualify of life, not only in La Jolla, but in San Diego.” To view SummerFest 2014 lineup and accompanying programming, go to ljms.org.

San Diego’s AmateurPianists back in Solana Beach church for second concert fundraiser

BY KRISTINA HOUCK For the second consecutive year, eight amateur pianists will take the stage at a Solana Beach church to showcase their not-so-amateur talent. Hosted by AmateurPianists, the night of classical piano music is set for July 26 at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Dieguito in Solana Beach. “Bring family and friends — anyone who loves music,” said Glenn Kramer, founder and board chair of AmateurPianists. “It’s going to be a wonderful time.” Based in North San Diego County, AmateurPianists is an organization for amateur pianists. Kramer established the group in 2011 so amateur pianists of all professions could have opportunities to perform in front of live audiences. “As pianists, we spend hours and hours learning a piece, but we don’t have people to play for except our own friends and family,” Kramer said. “I thought it would be a wonderful idea for people who play piano to have the opportunity to play in front of audiences like the professionals do.” Nearly 450 amateur pianists have joined the group since it launched three years ago. Membership is free, as are all events. AmateurPianists has held a number of performances at a variety of venues, including recital halls, churches, public libraries and private residences. The group also offers lectures and master classes on performance practice, the history of classical music and more. “We’re all amateurs, so people are really friendly and it’s not competitive,” Kramer said. “We want to nurture your confidence to perform for the public and share our love of music.” This is the second year AmateurPianists is hosting a silent auction and piano recital in Solana Beach. Solana Beach resident Monique Kunewalder is among the eight pianists who are slated to perform, with the furthest coming from San Francisco. Funds raised at the event will help the organization launch San Diego’s first international amateur piano competition, which would provide amateur pianists with more performing and networking opportunities, Kramer said. There are only about 10 amateur piano competitions in the world, he added. About 75 people attended last year’s concert fundraiser, which raised $800. Event organizers hope to double last year’s proceeds. A piano competition could cost $12,000 to $15,000 to cover the costs of the rental facility, equipment, judges and award money, Kramer noted. “San Diego doesn’t have an amateur piano competition,” Kramer said. “We want to put San Diego on the map.” The silent auction and piano recital takes place from 1-4 p.m. July 26 at Founders’ Hall at the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of San Dieguito, 1036 Solana Drive in Solana Beach. The event is free, but donations will be accepted. For more about AmateurPianists, or to RSVP or donate, visit amateurpianists.org.

One day at a time, he reaches — and passes — yoga milestone Local psychologist, 68, has persevered with exercise regimen for 1,000-plus days BY KATHY DAY One day after 68-yearold Ain Roost reached his goal of doing yoga for 1,000 days, he set a new goal: Do it for one more day. “Today is 1,001. There’s no point in quitting,” he said on July 16, a day after completing his personal challenge. “My new goal is 1,002.” The local resident, psychologist and former Canadian Olympian took his first yoga classes in Marrakech, Morocco, after arriving there on the Marrakech Express from Casablanca in 1969. Along the road to 1,000 days, he said there were “lesser milestones” like 100 or 500 days. He even got a bit of a kick out of day 666, when — conceding that he has a strange sense of humor — he acknowledged what is known as the “number of the beast” by quoting the Rolling Stones’ “Sympathy for the Devil.” (Some interpretations point to a passage in the Bible book of Revelations, calling the number a symbol of the Antichrist.) With meditation and a

focus on mindfulness a part of his personal life that crosses into his professional life, he said one of his philosophies is to “be present a day at a time.” But sometimes his goals go a bit beyond that. He was already a practitioner of yoga and a gym regular until a combination of injuries to his knee, shoulder and hip sidelined him. Once he felt well enough to return to his yoga routine, he said, he challenged himself to do yoga for 30 days straight. “When I got to 30, I just kept going,” he said in a press release about his adventure. “It’s become a habit, regular part of my morning ritual.” Part of the challenge, though, was “about more than yoga. It is about setting intentions and following them.” He also noted that yoga and meditation are part of every day — kind of like showering and brushing his teeth. Roost was born in Sweden. His parents, who left

Estonia in the face of the Soviet presence, moved to Toronto, Canada when he was 5. As a young boy, he grew interested in track and field. “Boys like to run and jump and throw stuff,” he said, so it was a good fit. Initially he tried decathlon — “there’s a lot of running and throwing stuff” — but when he realized he wasn’t cut out for all the events, he focused on throwing. So discus, javelin and shot put became his sports, earning him a college scholarship. “I was most successful at discus,” he added. Using that talent, he spent “a magical” 10 years on the Canadian National Track & Field Team that took him to two Olympics, the Pan Am Games and other international competitions. As a young teen, he thought he wanted to be an architect, but as he got older, he became interested in “the mystery of people — why we do what we do, what are we doing here …”

Ain Roost set a yoga challenge for himself while recovering from injuries. He credits the practice with improving his strength, balance and flexibility. Courtesy phoyo The combination of philosophy, spirituality and psychology became a “continual fascination,” which pulled him towards a degree in psychology. He received his Ph.D. at the University of Minnesota and worked in a variety of clinical settings before choosing private practice more than 10 years ago. He has offices in Carlsbad and La Jolla, with a lot of his clients coming from UCSD and the scientific and medical communities. He also uses his athletic background in performance enhancement work with athletes, writers, musicians and artists.

He sometimes uses the principles of yoga and meditation in his practice as well as his own life, in which he strives always to be “mindful and present.” His wife, Amy, is executive director of the Solana Beach nonprofit Silver Age Yoga that offers classes around the county (www. silverageyoga.org). The classes are supported by a grant from the City of Encinitas and the Mizel Family Foundation. She, too, is a yoga devotee, though she hasn’t been at it quite as long. When she first met Ain seven years ago, she didn’t care for it, preferring more active exercise like swimming and gymnastics. But because she wanted to have something in their relationship they could share, she started yoga about five years ago. Her husband’s challenge inspired her to “get into a different groove” with her yoga. She said she’s done 30-day challenges on her own and cited research stating that it takes about that long for a new habit to be “hard-wired.” See YOGA, page B21

Sculpture exhibit blooms at SD Botanic Garden BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Any time of year is a good time to visit the San Diego Botanic Garden, but now is particularly inviting, with the recent installation of the fourth annual “Sculpture in the Garden” show, curated by art consultant Naomi Nussbaum. Nussbaum, born in Zimbabwe, made Solana Beach her home more than 25 years ago, and has become a significant part of the local art community. Since 2011, she’s been assembling a variety of popular and lesser-known artists for the SDBG exhibit, putting out a call for participants a year in advance. She favors San Diego-based sculptors, but always has room for a few extra-regional ones: three this year, from Seattle, New York and Los Angeles, were among the 34 chosen. In all, there are 47 works on display. The garden itself is a beauty, boasting 37 acres filled with almost 4,000 types of plants from around the world. The sculptures, placed in appropriate settings throughout the garden, provide an added feast for the eyes. At a June 29 preview of the exhibit, most of the artists were present, and happy to pose with their pieces, which will be on view through April 2015. A “Sculpture in the Garden” map, available at the entrance, makes self-guided tours easy, and a plaque near each piece gives more information. Summertime Special: If you come on a Thursday afternoon, you can stay for one of the Family Fun Nights, special programs of music and entertainment. They run from 4:30-8 p.m. through Aug. 28. If you go: Sculpture in San Diego Botanic Garden is open 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily (summer Thursdays until 8 p.m.) at 230 Quail Gardens Drive, Encinitas. Admission: $8-$14 ($2 parking fee); 760-436-3036; visit SDBGarden.org. PHOTOS BY MAURICE HEWITT

Rising star: French Corner creates bread, pastries with authentic flair BY KAREN BILLING The kitchen space inside the newly opened French Corner in Encinitas is truly a tiny corner. French chef and owner Alexandra Palombi-Long works on full display behind the countertop, a multi-tasking blur slathering a baguette with her homemade pâté, taking a fragrant quiche crust out of the oven and picking apart organic herbs to grind together for her homemade pesto. She tops a fruit and yogurt parfait with some of her homemade granola and carries it out to a customer enjoying one of the café’s outside tables. “That’s how I like it. The best food comes from the smallest kitchen,” Palombi-Long said. Her classic, authentic French pâtisserie training results in a daily selection of madeleines and meringues and macarons. There are light financier cakes and cylinder-shaped, custard-filled cannelés, a specialty cake from Bordeaux that is very difficult to find in San Diego. Crême brûlée and mousse au chocolat are two of her specialties, and she

Alexandra Palombi-Long opened The French Corner on Highway 101 in late May. Photo by Karen Billing whips up crepes both sweet and savory. In baskets along the countertop are crisp pastries drizzled in cream and croissants sprinkled in powdered sugar and slivered almonds. Fresh ingredients are stored on baskets on the walls, all manner of utensils are packed together in canisters, and pans are stacked on shelves and hanging from hooks over Palombi-Long’s stove and panini press. Like her cousin, who owns the well-known La Note restaurant in Berkeley, she only pours Mr. Espresso coffee from a Bay-area based roaster that oak-roasts the coffee beans. The coffee menu is pure Paris — try a café au lait or order up a “noisette” (nuh-wah-zet), an espresso with a tiny bit of milk. Palombi-Long was born and raised in Paris in a food family — they’ve been involved in the art of French cuisine since 1920.

“For us, it really is a family thing; we love food, it’s what we do. I have a passion for good food,” Palombi-Long said. “I started to love cooking by cooking with my mother. I was helping her in the kitchen as young as I can remember.” She recalls visiting Paris markets with her mother, gathering all of the fresh ingredients they would need in the kitchen that day. Working alongside her mother, she picked up all of her techniques. Her parents owned an antique shop and they also instilled in her a love of art. Along with studying art history, she started taking cooking classes. “Cooking comes natural to me — if you give me one ingredient, I can come up with 100 recipes,” Palombi-Long said. “But I needed help to understand different techniques, skills and cuisines” from different countries. So 15 years ago as a 19-year-old, she moved to New York City, because she had heard it was a “fantastic” and “magical” city. It was, and she became immersed in the city’s food scene, doing everything from bartending to cooking in high-end restaurants to catering private events.

“It was a wonderful experience, because I learned so much,” Palombi-Long said. In New York, she also met her future husband, a military physician with the U.S. Navy. Three years ago, the couple and their three sons decided to pack up and move to California. “We think it’s a fantastic place to raise a family,” Palombi-Long said, who has lived in Carlsbad for the past three years. Palombi-Long started the French Corner two years ago, selling her goods at the Leucadia Farmers Market. As she grew more successful at the market, she started looking for her own brick-and-mortar shop. When the space opened up t Highway 101 and Phoebe Street, it could not have worked out more perfectly. The space had been a hair salon, so a complete renovation was necessary. Palombi-Long is thrilled with the comfortably cozy result. As she says, good food does not have to be complicated; it just takes simple, fresh, organic ingredients. “The key is, I do everything I can,” said See CORNER, page B21

Opening Day Style at Del Mar Del Mar’s racing season kicked off in style once again with one of the area’s biggest social events, Opening Day on July 17. It’s a feast for the eyes, from the colorful parade of fancy hats and jockey silks, to celebrity sightings. Not to mention parties that took place everywhere, on and off the track, all day long and well into the evening. The centerpiece of the seaside oval’s celebration was the Opening Day Hats Contest, now in its 20th year. Officially established in 1995 by Julie Sarno as “The One and Only Truly Fabulous Hats Contest,” it brings out the most serious of hat aficionados, who spend months perfecting their headgear for prestige and prizes. This year’s categories were Best Racing Theme, Funniest/Most Outrageous, Most Glamorous, Best Flowers/All Others and Best Fascinator. Photos by Jon Clark. For photos Charlotte Ginsburg online, visit ww.delmartimes.net.

SPONSORED COLUMNS JOSEPH FRANZ Skilled Nursing Care MBA 760.753.6423

The Effects of Health Care Over-Regulation As much as those of us in the patient care field support the triple aim of the Affordable Care Act (ACA)—better care for populations, better health for individuals, and lower percapita costs—one aspect of the new health care system that many of us find frustrating is the sheer number of regulations (of which there are well over 10,000 pages). Of course, government regulation of healthcare is

necessary, but because health care regulations are enforced by all levels of government and private organizations, it’s terribly inefficient. Consequently, many of the ACA’s regulations are, ironically, undermining the goals that the ACA hopes to achieve. Government regulations are increasingly attempting to standardize care. However, a one-size-fits-all approach to treatment alienates populations. The government’s standardization of care leaves the decision of a treatment’s effectiveness in the hands of the government rather than in the hands of the experts—the physicians. Therefore, health plans are not necessarily tailored to patients’ needs, which can affect the health of individuals and populations. Over-regulation also compromises patient care because physicians are forced to spend more time complying with regulations

(i.e., paperwork, credentialing, preauthorizations, and quality measure data), which leaves them less time to interact with patients. Patient/physician interaction is key to improved healthcare, but much to the chagrin of both doctors and patients, the new regulations are relying more on technology and less on humanity. For example, one ACA requirement is that all patients have an electronic health record (EHR); however, in their current state, EHRs can’t exchange health information electronically. Consequently, physicians still rely on faxed medical documents from outside providers and have found instances in which the data entered about the patients is either extraneous or inaccurate. EHRs have also been found to be more expensive than expected, which brings us to another effect of government over-

regulation: the high cost. Complying with all the regulations costs the US approximately $7 billion. Again, this is due to the all the paperwork physicians, government, and private companies have to do. These costs ultimately trickle down to the patients. At Encinitas Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, we believe it’s important to educate our patients about the pros and cons of the changes in health care reform. We also do our best to take advantage of the benefits for our patients and mitigate the costs by staying focused on providing them with optimum care. For questions about skilled nursing and rehabilitation care of you or a loved one, please visit us at http:// encinitasnursingandrehab.com or call us at (760) 753-6423.

CROSSWORD

YOGA continued from page B5

They both point to the benefits of yoga in one’s physical and psychological being — from reducing hypertension and back pain to improving flexibility and strength. Amy said it’s a particularly effective practice for seniors who often cite “fear of falling” as one of their greatest fears. Ain added that for him, the flexibility he gained is perhaps the biggest plus of practicing yoga. He said that his strength and balance are also “clearly improved,” as is his mental balance. The press release about his accomplishment reflects the humorous outlook of this 6’4”, 215-pound man. “It’s tough for a big guy like myself to kiss my knees with my forehead in a forward bend or do a full lotus, but that doesn’t ultimately matter. It’s not about how good you are at it, or how pretzel-like you can make yourself. I just do what I can, and because I feel the benefits I keep doing it” — day after day after day.

Palombi-Long. Indeed, her hand is in nearly everything in the café —she makes the pesto and the vinagrettes, and while the bread comes from a local French bakery, she sits down with the baker to be sure she gets exactly what she wants. The results are beautiful baguettes for her sandwiches, like Le Saucisson with salami, French brie and French pickles, or Le Jambon-Buerre, with French ham, gruyere cheese and European butter. Typically, Palombi-Long and one other employee staff the café, but she hopes to bring in someone soon to help in her kitchen. She will train them, of course, but the No. 1 qualification will be a love of food — the passion she hopes to share fresh daily with the entire community. Visit The French Corner at 1200 N.

‘Stone’ fruits now in season The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Sadly, summer’s stone fruit growing season is way too short, but oh so sweet! Did you know: •Plum trees are grown in every continent except Antarctica. •The peach has a poisonous pit containing hydrocyanic acid. •On average, there are 44 cherries to the pound. • California grows more than 95 percent of nectarines. •In China, apricots (called “moons of the faithfulâ€?) were believed to boost women’s fertility.

Fuzzy Wuzzy Take a big bite of this fuzzy, juicy quintessential fruit of summer and fill your mouth with pure ambrosia. A member of the rose family, peaches were once known as the “Persian apple.� They originated in China more than 2,000 years ago and eventually found their way to America via Spanish explorers. With more than 700 varieties, they’re divided into clingstone and freestone by the ease with which the flesh separates from the pit. With either white (low-acid) or yellow flesh, this hard-stoned fruit has a mother lode of carotenes, potassium, flavonoids, lycopene and lutein. This combo of phytochemicals has been found to be mighty warriors against everything from prostate cancer to heart disease. Stave these illnesses off with a warm spinach and grilled peach salad, a crispy peach and arugula pizza, curried salmon with peach chutney, gingered peach cobbler — or eat them chilled in hand for an energy-boosting snack.

The Hairless Breed It is a misconception that the glabrous-skinned nectarine is a hybrid cross between a peach and a plum. Rather, the nectarine developed from a peach by a natural mutation, becoming a recessive allele with only a single gene differentiation that makes them smooth, while their sibling fuzzy. Some peach trees bear nectarines, while nectarine trees might also bear peach fruits. A Plum Job More diverse than their stone fruit relatives, plums come in a variety of colors, shapes, sizes and flavors. The most popular are the larger, juicier Japanese variety along with the denser, drier European ones with mostly yellow or reddish flesh and skin hues ranging from ruby to blackish red. A high-fiber powerhouse, plums are loaded with anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidants to ward off cellular damage and assorted cancers, Vitamin A and lutein for ocular health, iron to pump up red blood cell production, and a slew of B’s to put the skids on stress.

Whip up a puffy, gooey plum clafouti, a sweet and savory plum sauce for dipping and dunking, a Mediterranean chicken dish with green olives and prunes, or eat them crisp and cold from the fridge. Bowl of Bings These ruby beauties are members of the Rosaceae family and distant cousins to the peach, apricot, plum and almond with more than 1,000 varieties cultivated in 20 countries worldwide. Cherries fall into two subcategories – sweet and sour. Just a handful of varieties are familiar to cherryphiles, including the sweet Bing, Tulare, Rainier and the Royal Ann, which morphs into the maraschino, while the tart types include the Nanking and Evans. As healthful as they are scrumptious, these superfruits are packed with immune-boosting antioxidants, a Herculean flavonoid called quercetin to hamper assorted heart risk factors, along with anthocyanins that have been shown to reduce arthritic joint and gout pain as they block inflammatory enzymes. Cherries are also an excellent source of boron to dial up bone health, and melatonin to stabilize the

body’s circadian sleep patterns and alleviate jet lag. Toss some sweet frozen ones into smoothies or lemonades. Bake them fresh in pies, cobblers or concoct a glaze for a cheesecake topping. Dial up ice cream sundaes with a flambÊed brandied jubilee. Do an apricot and cherry chicken bake. Use the dried version as a substitute for raisins in oatmeal, scones or muffins. Toss in tabouli, couscous or salads. Make preserves or jam — or simply snack on some fresh, sweet ones out

of a bowl. Dwarf Drupe The apricot, which resembles a dwarf peach in shape, skin color and fuzzy complexion, is a mini-powerhouse loaded with lycopene, vitamin A and beta-carotene for prostate, skin and eye health. High in fiber, vitamin C and potassium, and low in sodium, calories (17 each) and fat, apricots are a guiltless treat as in this sassy summer salsa.

Apricot Summer Salsa Ingredients 1 cup diced, fresh apricots 1/2 fresh pineapple, diced 1 avocado, diced 2 tablespoons lime juice 1 tablespoon cilantro, chopped 1/4 sweet onion, minced 1 red pepper, diced Sea salt and cayenne pepper to taste Method: In a glass bowl, blend the ingredients. Cover and chill. —— For additional stone-fruit recipes, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com
