Racing resumes on Del Mar’s turf course without incident BY JOE TASH Horse racing resumed over the weekend on the newly expanded turf course at Del Mar, after an eightday closure imposed after four horses were fatally injured in separate incidents during races on the grass track. No injuries were reported to horses or riders during races on Saturday, Aug. 9, and Sunday, Aug. 10, said Josh Rubinstein, executive vice president of the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club, which runs the annual horse racing meets at the state-owned Del Mar Fairgrounds. Rubinstein provided the update to the board of the 22nd District Agricultural Association at its monthly meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 12. The 22nd DAA operates the fairgrounds, which includes the racetrack, for the state. The fairgrounds has two horse racing tracks: a larger course with a synthetic surface, and the smaller turf course located inside the synthetic course. Last winter, the 22nd DAA spent $3.7 million to widen the turf course so that more horses could race at one time, and also to enhance safety, officials said at the time. The newly widened course was used for the first time during this summer’s horse racing meet. However, officials took the unusual move of suspending all racing See RACING, page 20

Lagoon Conservancy seeking public comments on restoration efforts BY KRISTINA HOUCK Having just released its draft environmental impact report outlining options for the restoration of San Elijo Lagoon Ecological Reserve, the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy is inviting the public to provide input on the reserve-wide project during two community meetings in August. “A lot of times public meetings like this are agency-driven and mandated. They seem to be dog-andpony shows,” said Doug Gibson, executive director of the conservancy, which will administer the lagoon restoration. “But we’re a community-based organization, and this is a communi-

We want the public to comment on this.” During the 60-day public review period of the document, which was prepared by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and San Diego County Department of Parks and Recreation, the conservancy will host community meetings on Aug. 19 in Solana Beach and Aug. 27 in En-
cinitas. At the meetings, Gibson will give a 30- to 40-minute presentation. Attendees will also have the opportunity to visit information booths, ask questions and submit comments. “Our goal is to get as much information out to the public as possible, so See LAGOON, page 19
BY ASHLY MCGLONE, SPECIAL TO THE SOLANA BEACH SUN, CARMEL VALLEY NEWS, DEL MAR TIMES The Solana Beach School District has ended up with more than $800,000 in legal bills in a special-education dispute that started over one family’s $6,100 of privateschool tuition. The district unsuccessfully fought the Doyle family, now living in Utah, through several federal appeals and attempted to involve the U.S. Supreme Court. A federal court commissioner on Aug. 1 ordered Solana Beach to pay nearly $580,000 in attorney’s fees for the Doyles, on top of hundreds of thousands the district has paid for its own counsel. The family successfully argued that the district should have to pay for private-school tuition because the education plan offered for their autistic child was inadequate under the federal guarantee of a free and appropriate education. The order brings the long-fought case to a close. It centered on the Doyles’ youngest daughter — known in court records as Ka.D. — who in 2007 was just beginning to speak after being nonverbal as a toddler. The district offered to place the 4-year-old in special education, with visits to the general education classroom, mother Kyla Doyle said. “We saw it as a recipe for disaster, with our daughter having to transition between three classrooms, having a rotating roster of 42 classmates and several teachers,” Doyle said. “The district wanted to put her into a severely handicapped class where she would be one of the only children who could speak... We knew if she wasn’t in an See CASE, page 22

Local youth speak with counselors after Solana Beach residents discuss ways officer-involved shooting at Mission Bay Park to help reduce greenhouse gases BY KRISTINA HOUCK, CITY NEWS SERVICE About 90 local youth talked to counselors Aug. 8 after an officer-involved shooting occurred two days earlier at Mission Bay Park, where the group was on an outing. Dozens of children and teens from the Boys & Girls Club of San Dieguito’s La Colonia Branch were on a field trip Aug. 6 at Mission Bay Park, when an apparently suicidal man was wounded around 11:30 a.m. after witnesses said he pointed a gun at police. During the standoff, police asked Branch Manager Gloria Castellanos and her staff to hide the youth in a nearby restroom. “A few kids heard the shots, but by the time the shots were happening, our kids were in the bathroom, so none of the kids saw it happening,” said Jarvis Albury, a supervisor at the La Colonia Branch and fitness coach at the Harper Branch in Solana Beach. He and another staff member said they witnessed the shooting. Lance Tamayo of San Diego called police from the 2800 block of North Mission Bay Drive shortly after 11 a.m. and told dispatchers he intended to shoot himself, said San Diego Police Department Sgt. Manuel Del Toro. Patrol personnel arrived to find the 45-year-old sitting in his car in a parking area near De Anza Cove. They contacted him by phone and spoke with him for about 15 minutes before he agreed to surrender. Tamayo got out of the vehicle, but soon returned to it and retrieved a loaded 9mm pis-
tol, Del Toro said. Tamyo then “pointed his gun recklessly at various people in the park,” at a police helicopter circling overhead and at the nearby officers, prompting one of them to shoot him in the abdomen, Del Toro said. The suspect fell to the ground, but his gun remained within reach and he continued to fail to comply with the officers’ commands, Del Toro said. Finally, officers were able to subdue him with non-lethal rounds and take him into custody. As of Aug. 7, Tamayo remained hospitalized in critical but stable condition, Del Toro said. Sixty-three children, 32 teens and 15 adults — including staff and parents — from the La Colonia Branch huddled in the bathroom for 30 minutes to an hour during the standoff, Albury said. No one was injured during the incident, and the adults shielded the children so they could not see what was happening. “I’m incredibly proud of what we do,” said David Crean, CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito. He noted that the staff has lockdown procedures and crisis management training. “We spend time with our leadership team to explain what to do in an emergency situation like this,” Crean added. “Talking with some of the staff, they basically went into a lockdown procedure. They did remarkably well.” Because police restricted the area, the group could not leave immediately after the
BY KRISTINA HOUCK When State Assembly Bill 32 passed in 2006, the law established a statewide goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 emission levels by 2020. To help California reach its goal, Solana Beach residents discussed how the community could do its part at a Climate Action Plan Public Workshop held Aug. 6. A Climate Action Plan would aim to cut greenhouse gas emissions and conserve energy in order to meet state requirements. Still in the planning stage, consultants from San Diego-based RECON Environmental, Inc. presented four scenarios for the plan, known as CAP, and welcomed input from the public. The four scenarios proposed a combination of some or all of the following greenhouse gas reduction measures: • a commercial benchmark program; • low-income weatherization program; • residential and commercial efficiency retrofits; • residential and commercial photovoltaic solar systems; • solar water heaters; • energy efficiency education. All the options would comply with AB 32, also known as the California Global Warming Solutions Act. California’s Air Resources Board, the agency responsible for overseeing the law, has recommended that cities set their target at 15 percent below 2005 levels to help meet the state’s goal.
“It’s a way to establish a baseline and have some targets for where we need to be at the city level, regional level and state level,” said Lisa Lind of RECON. Using ClearPath, a software for inventories and climate action planning in California, RECON looked at the city and overall community’s greenhouse gas emissions from transportation and mobile sources, residential energy, commercial energy, water and wastewater, and solid waste. Although Solana Beach has implemented energy-efficient changes, RECON found that the city’s greenhouse gas emissions increased from 589 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent in 2005 to 616 metric tons in 2012. The greenhouse gas emissions of Solana Beach as a whole went up from 136,322 metric tons of CO2 equivalent in 2005 to 166,012 metric tons in 2012. The cause of the increase is unknown, said Bill Maddux of RECON, but he speculated it could be because of the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station going offline. Still, he praised Solana Beach for upgrading its public streetlights, retrofitting city facilities, implementing green building incentives, banning plastic bags, purchasing an electric fleet vehicle and more. “The government is actually doing a very good job of meeting the percentage of reductions and getting down to the targets it needs to get to by itself,” Maddux said. “However, the community’s not.” He noted that the community faces a

Scoping meeting held for planned new development Merge 56 BY KAREN BILLING Merge 56, a new commercial and housing development just east of Carmel Valley and bordering the Del Mar Mesa Preserve, is just beginning its environmental review process. A scoping meeting was held Aug. 6 at the Rancho Penasquitos Library as the city sought public input on the scope and content of the environmental document. It was not yet the time to discuss the merits of the project, and residents requested the city review issues of open space access for both people and wildlife, traffic and safety. Merge 56 is at the end of Camino Del Sur, just past its intersection with SR-56. The project is a subset of a larger subdivision project formerly known as Rhodes Crossing, which has already been approved by the city. Merge 56’s new design will require a Subsequent Environmental Impact Report, a community plan amendment and rezone. Instead of the approved Rhodes Crossing plan for 273,855 square feet of self-storage, 250,000 square feet of commercial and 242 multifamily residences, developer Seabreeze Properties is proposing 525,000 square feet of commercial and office uses and up to 242 residential dwellings. The residential component would be a mix of housing types, including 111 townhomes, 84 single-family units and 47 affordable units. “It will be more of an urbanist design, to make it more pedestrian-friendly,” said Anna Colamussi-Yentile, spokesperson for Latitude 33 Planning and Engineering. Colamussi-Yentile said the plan would be to condense office uses and use parking structures rather than having a big surface parking lot. As part of the project, Carmel Mountain Road is proposed to connect with Camino Del Sur. Carmel Mountain Road would be widened to four lanes and extended south to Sundance Avenue, and Camino Del Sur would be widened to a four- to six-lane road and extend to Dormouse Road. The other 11 acres on the Rhodes Crossing property are

being pursued by Kilroy Realty, although no site plan has yet been developed. During public comment, Rod Simmons, a member of the San Diego Mountain Biking Association, expressed concerns about trails and access to open space in the Del Mar Mesa Preserve. “The plan calls to fill Deer Canyon, which alarms me,” Simmons said, noting
that the plan does not include drainage or wildlife undercrossings. “The footprint of the fill is imposing on the boundaries of the preserve and will have some effect on the trail egresses from that side; they would be severed.” The trail Simmons referred to is one of the much-loved “Tunnel” trails through the preserve, part of the Carmel Mountain/Del Mar Mesa Preserve Resource Management Plan that has been in the works for several years and has endured many delays. Part of that plan includes a trail map (all trails are currently closed to the public) that, as SDMBA member Ben Stone pointed out, includes a connection to Las Penasquitos Canyon. “It would be difficult to make that trail connection where (the project) sits right now,” Stone said. Stone said it also is important that the corridor remain open for wildlife such as deer and bobcats. Gary Levitt, president and founder of Seabreeze Properties, has been a strong advocate for trail connectivity through the preserve, both as a resident and as a member of the Del Mar Mesa Community Planning Board. “The Del Mar Mesa Preserve Resource Management Plan has to allow the connections before we can incorporate these into the project plans,” Levitt said. “The trail connections can be accommodated and incorporated into the street design, but the city and other wildlife agencies need to accept and provide for these trail connections (in the plan) before we will be allowed to incorporate them into our design.”
Besides trail access and wildlife, residents expressed concerns about other quality of life matters during the scoping meeting. Local resident Brian Eshelman, who lives on Dormouse Road, has long spoken out against the project. His main concerns are because of the traffic impacts on Park Village Road, which links the community to Black Mountain Road, SR-56 and Mira Mesa. He said even though the project’s footprint is the same, the retail and residential uses will generate more cars than a storage facility would. “I like the idea of a new center and more employment opportunities for students,” said resident Tammy Wilcox. “But I’ve always felt like Park Village is a disaster waiting to happen in case of a fire emergency.” Residents also requested the report address pedestrian safety, as the intersection of Camino Del Sur and SR-56 has been a site of some major accidents. Another resident also pointed out concerns about the amount of water required for a new residential and commercial development when the state and city are in a severe drought. Thom Clark, chairman of the Rancho Penasquitos Community Planning Board, said this is just the project’s starting point, and the public will have many opportunities to weigh in on its merits. The planning board meets every first Wednesday at the Doubletree Golf Resort, 14455 Penasquitos Drive. For agendas or information, e-mail rppb.chair@gmail.com.

Fairgrounds restricts use of drones BY JOE TASH Drones or other radio-controlled aircraft will not be allowed to fly over the Del Mar Fairgrounds without express permission of fairgrounds officials, under a policy approved Aug. 12 by directors of the 22nd District Agricultural Association. The policy was needed to prevent potential security breaches at large events such as the San Diego County Fair and the annual horse racing meets held at the state-owned fairgrounds, said Tim Fennell, the fairgrounds’ general manager. One or two drones buzzed the midway during this summer’s county fair, Fennell told members of the 22nd DAA Board at their meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 12. The 22nd DAA and its board oversee operations at the fairgrounds. “This becomes a safety and security issue,� Fennell said. The policy, approved unanimously by the board, requires written permission for drones or other unmanned, radio-controlled aircraft to fly over the fairgrounds. The prohibition includes the airspace over the property, up to a height of 500 feet. The airspace above that level is regulated by the Federal Aviation Administration, officials said. The policy would allow drones if approved by 22nd DAA staff. An example would be a radio-controlled aircraft used for aerial filming of an event at the fairgrounds. The fairgrounds promotions department has its own drone, and Fennell said it could be used to film events for groups that rent out fairgrounds facilities for events. Fennell said he was unable to find other facilities with similar policies regarding drones. “We may be the tip of the spear at this point.�
New member appointed to fair board Kathlyn Mead, the newest member of the board of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the state-owned Del Mar Fairgrounds, attended her first board meeting on Tuesday, Aug. 12. Mead took her seat at the board table, and was welcomed by board president Fred Schenk and other members. Mead, 55, a Democrat and resident of Escondido, was appointed to the fair board in June by Gov. Jerry Brown. In July, Mead was named president and chief executive officer of the San Diego Foundation. Also in June, Brown announced the re-appointment of Schenk and 22nd DAA board member Lisa Barkett. Both were appointed to new four-year terms.

San Dieguito Union High School District’s parking pass fee eliminated
Trees have been removed at TPHS for several reasons, according to the high school district. Photos by Jon Clark
BY KAREN BILLING San Dieguito Union High School District is eliminating its $40 annual parking permit fee for students to park in their high school parking lots. “We had people question the cost of the permits over the years and most recently there was a formal complaint that caused us to go back and look at it,” said Eric Dill, associate superintendent of business services. “While the California Department of Education said the district was within our right to charge for the passes, we looked at the complaints and how the budget situation was improving and we decided we could eliminate the fee.” The district will lose just under $78,000 between the four high schools, but Dill said other revenues are up so they plan to see an offset greater than what they are losing. Dill said principals were notified late last week and they will continue to issue parking permits in the same way, on a first come, first serve basis — they just won’t collect the checks. The reason for the permits is to help control traffic congestion and regulate the number of cars fighting for the limited available spaces, Dill said.
Trees removed because of failing Dieguito Union High School District health, TPHS projects will be replaced San offers free and reduced-price meals BY KAREN BILLING Some Carmel Valley residents have noticed that several trees have come down on the Torrey Pines High School campus. The trees have been removed at various locations on campus for a couple of different reasons, according to Eric Dill, San Dieguito Union High School District’s associate superintendent of business services. Closest to Del Mar Heights Road, trees have been removed because of an ongoing project to improve the school’s fire road. “In addition to that, the eucalyptus trees have become problematic over the years. You might have noticed there’s nothing but dirt underneath them, because nothing grows under those trees,” Dill said. “We have been thinning out the eucalyptus so we can add back other ground cover … it does look pretty desolate right now, but we will be adding back landscape in that area, drought-resistant native plants that thrive in the area.” In another area of campus, near the west campus quad, Dill said trees were removed because they had become unhealthy. When Santa Ana winds were blowing, limbs were falling off the diseased trees. Dill said the district is changing its landscaping strategy around the school, and the district will replant native landscaping where the trees had been.
The San Dieguito Union High School District will provide free and reduced-price meals for children served under the National School Lunch Program for school year 2014-15. Applications are available at SDUHSDNutrition.com. Household size and income criteria (provided in the application) will be used to determine eligibility for free or reduced-price lunch benefits. The full priced lunch charge is $3.75 and breakfast is $2.25. Canyon Crest, Carmel Valley, Diegueno, Earl Warren, San Dieguito Academy, and Oak Crest Schools are terminating the Provision II (no charge breakfast) for the 2014-15 school year. La Costa Canyon and Torrey Pines will continue to offer breakfast before school at no charge. Children from households whose income is at or below the levels in the application are eligible for free or reduced-price meals. Children who receive Food Stamp (CalFRESH), California Work Opportunity and Responsibility to Kids (CalWORKS), Kinship Guardianship Assistance Payments (Kin-GAP), or Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR) benefits are automatically eligible for free meals, regardless of the income of the household in which they live. Eligibility for a foster child is based on a separate application and solely on the amount of the child’s “personal use” income.

Three candidates running for two seats on Del Mar City Council — so far Three seek two seats for BY KRISTINA HOUCK The smallest city in the county will have at least one new community member take the oath of office, as its mayor has decided not to seek re-election. Elected to the council in 2010, Del Mar Mayor Lee Haydu said she would not seek a second term because of personal reasons. She lost her husband and mother within the past 18 months. “Being on the council has been a great experience and one of personal growth,� said Haydu, a Del Mar resident for more than 30 years. Haydu said she and her fellow council members have worked on a number of projects she is proud of, including replacing the 21st Street sewer pump station, retrofitting the North Torrey Pines Bridge, obtaining a state-certified housing element, and improving the city’s relationship with the Del Mar fairgrounds and city of Solana Beach. “I’ve enjoyed serving my community,� she said. Elected in 2010, Councilman Terry Sinnott is seeking a second term. “It’s rewarding, and when you’re making progress, it’s worth doing,� said Sinnott, a native San Diegan, who served two tours as a U.S. Navy officer before joining San Diego Gas & Electric, where he worked for 22 years. A Del Mar resident since 1976, Sinnott reflected on the city’s accomplishments throughout his time on the council. He said he is proud the city developed a 30-year projection of the city’s financial health, paid off a $3 million side fund pension liability, hired an independent consultant to review the Sheriff’s contract, and established a Business Support Advisory Committee to support business in Del Mar. “Over the past four years, we have been doing some very positive things in the city,� he said.

Dwight Worden Still, there are other projects he wants to help complete, including moving the City Hall project forward, as well as developing a master plan for Del Mar Shores Park. “There are projects that are under way that are going to be very significant, but they won’t be completed, so I want to follow through and make sure we get those projects completed successfully,� said Sinnott. Dwight Worden and Kevin Burke are also running for election (as of
press time for this newspaper). Worden was Del Mar’s city attorney from 1977 to 1983. From 1974 until his retirement in 2001, he served as general counsel to the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority, the San Elijo Joint Powers Authority, North County Transit District and Leucadia Wastewater District. No longer actively practicing law, Worden said he is at a point in his life where he can run for council to serve the community he has lived in since 1981. “I think that I have a lot of background and skills that could help the city,� said Worden, who has served on Del Mar’s Garden Del Mar, Form-Based Code and Fairgrounds Advisory committees. “Overall, the city’s in pretty good shape,� he added. “I don’t feel like a fireman running to the rescue. There’s nothing on fire, nothing I feel like I have to go in and fix. But I think there’s a lot of exciting and challenging stuff facing the city.� Some of those projects are the City Hall project, the special events platform at the fairgrounds and the development of the Shores property, he said.

Solana Beach City Council •The deadline to file nomination papers was Aug. 8, but was extended by five days because both incumbents did not file.
BY KRISTINA HOUCK At least one new person will be sitting at the Solana Beach City Council dais by the end of this year, as Mayor Thomas Campbell isn’t seeking re-election. Campbell, having served on the council since 1994, said he would not seek a sixth term after his re-election in 2010. In the past two decades, he has served as the city’s mayor five times — a position that is appointed rather than elected in Solana Beach. Elected to the council in 2006, Councilman Mike Nichols is seeking a third term. “I love being able to give back to the city,� said Nichols, who served as mayor in 2009 and 2013. “I’m honored to do it, and I’m happy that I’ve had the opportunity.� A licensed landscape architect and business owner, Nichols has been an urban design and planning professional in the San Diego region for nearly 15 years. Nichols’ effort and expertise were instrumental in the renovation of Coast Highway 101, which he said is one of the city projects he is most proud of. “There are several major projects coming forward,� said Nichols, a resident of Solana Beach since

Donation helps TPHS Foundation buy new helmets for varsity football team •To raise the remaining funds for the helmets already purchased, the foundation is hosting a tailgate party Aug. 23 at Del Mar Shores Park. BY KRISTINA HOUCK While Torrey Pines High School football players have been preparing for the season, their parents have been fundraising for their safety. The Torrey Pines High School Foundation recently bought 80 new helmets for the varsity team. The Schutt helmets were delivered to the campus at the start of August, in time for the final weeks of practice before the season begins at the end of the month. “We want to get to a place where no helmet is older than five years,” said head football coach Ron Gladnick, who noted the helmets are listed at roughly $420 each. “It’s 10 years at most schools.” An estimated 67,000 diagnosed concussions occur during high school football games each year. That’s 11.2 for every 10,000 games and practices, which is twice the rate of college football, according to a 2013 study conducted by the Institute of Medicine and funded by the NFL. To prevent concussions, the foundation bought 60 new helmets last year for the varsity team, which will now go to the junior varsity players. After this latest purchase, about 80 percent of the program’s helmets are less than two years old, Gladnick said. “As a head coach, you always want to do the best you can do within the budgetary constraints that you have,” said Gladnick. He was hired as head coach in March after being head coach at Clairemont High School for the past two seasons, where he led the Chieftains to their first playoff victory in 20 years. He previously was assistant coach at Torrey Pines. “As a head coach, it makes you feel good to be in a position where you’ve done everything you can to make sure the kids have the safest gear. I feel very, very fortunate because we’ve been able to do so because of the support we have.” On behalf of his law firm, Cardiff-by-the-Sea resident Jordan Cohen donated $10,000 to kick off the foundation’s fundraising in June. “Helmet safety is a concern for all parents,” said Craig
Last year’s fundraiser hosted by the Torrey Pines High School Foundation. This year’s will be held Aug. 23 at Del Mar Shores Park. Courtesy photos Kelley, a parent liaison with the foundation. “This is just a wonderful, generous gift from the Cohen law firm. We, as parents, are grateful for their support of Torrey Pines football and the safety of the boys.” As founder of the Cohen Law Firm, Cohen represents professional athletes in California workers’ compensation cases, including former NFL players who have suffered head injuries during their careers. “Obviously, he feels so strongly about the safety of the kids, looking at ex-NFL players,” said Carmel Valley resident Jackie Cohen about her ex-husband. Their son, Harrison Cohen, is a varsity football player at Torrey Pines High School. “Purchasing new helmets is incredibly important for the safety of the children and the prevention of concussions and future problems,” she added. The school’s football program has approximately 180 students. Foundation board member Sophia Alsadek said football is “pretty much a parent-funded sport,” and it costs
about $1,200 per player per season. “You don’t have to pay to play, so we have to fundraise for everything,” Alsadek said. To raise the remaining funds for the purchased helmets, the foundation is hosting a tailgate party from 6-10 p.m. Aug. 23 at Del Mar Shores Park, on Ninth Street in Del Mar. Tickets to the event cost $75 and include gourmet tailgate fare, craft beer and wine, and live music. There will also be an opportunity drawing, as well as a silent and a live auction. “The foundation does an amazing job of supporting our school,” Gladnick said. “Anyone in the community who would like to help Torrey Pines can do so through the foundation. It does a great job of making sure dollars go to where they’re most needed to help the most kids. I think that’s a great thing to have in a public school environment. “We’re blessed because not every school has the things we have. We have those things because of our foundation.” For details, email tphsfundraiser@gmail.com. To buy tickets, visit www.brownpapertickets.com/event/789409.

Local family helps fight son’s diabetes through Christopher’s Foundation •Second Tee’d Off for a Cure tournament set for Sept. 15; pre-tournament wine event to be held Aug. 27 BY KAREN BILLING The Schillings of Rancho Santa Fe are rallying for Type 1 diabetes awareness, research and an eventual cure after a life-changing diagnosis rocked their family two years ago. In 2012, Christian and Sue Schilling’s son, Christopher, was diagnosed at age 7. They did not sit idle long, educating themselves and immediately starting Christopher’s Foundation to support the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation San Diego and find a cure for juvenile diabetes. “What the foundation is all about is connecting,â€? Christian said. “Connecting to a cure, connecting families and friends, and making people more aware.â€? The connections have started young — 9-year-old Christopher has found strong support at his school, R. Roger Rowe, where last Halloween his classmates pooled all of their Skittles from their trick-or-treat haul because they knew the straight-sugar candy is perfect for when their friend’s blood sugar gets low. At the end of the school year, when students paper the hallways with their goals and dreams, many of them touchingly included wishes for Christopher’s diabetes to go away. The community awareness is a big first step. Now Christopher’s Foundation is looking for support at its second golf tournament. The Tee’d Off for a Cure Invitational Golf Tournament will be held Monday, Sept. 15, at Morgan Run Club & Resort in Rancho Santa Fe. A $250 entry fee includes golf with a cart, range balls, live and silent auctions, a raffle and dinner. All players also receive a free swing analysis and a Peter Grimm hat. A pre-tournament wine event, Uncorked, will be held at Sublime Tavern from 5:30-8:30 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 27. Rancho Santa Fe resident-owned wineries Two Plank and Gen 7 will be at the event, as well as Fallbrook Winery and Rip Current Brewery, and Sublime will serve up a craft beer and wine pairing dinner. (Sublime Tavern is at 3790 Via de la Valle, #301, Del Mar.) Access to the event requires attendees to bring a bottle
Nine-year-old Christopher Schilling of Christopher’s Foundation was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in 2012. The foundation’s second Tee’d Off for a Cure tournament will be held on Sept. 15, preceded by a wine event on Aug 27. Courtesy photo of wine rated at 90 points or better, which serves as a donation for the silent auction held at the golf tournament. Every day, 40 children are diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in the United States — during the time spent playing a round of golf played in Christopher’s golf tournament, approximately eight children will be admitted to the hospital with Type 1 diabetes. Before Christopher was diagnosed in June 2012, the warning signs were subtle. He was drinking a lot of water, and he kept having to wake up at night to use the bathroom. Christian thought it was normal, Sue was certain it was not. “I just knew that something was wrong, I had a gut feeling,� Sue said.
She took Christopher to the hospital and after checking him out, they said Christopher needed to be admitted immediately to be stabilized. He was testing positive for diabetes because his blood sugar was very high. Christian said their minds were racked with questions. No one in their families had Type 1 diabetes. Where was this coming from, and why did it just come out of the blue? “There’s no answer. It’s the unfortunate thing; it just happens,� Christian said. Christopher stayed in the hospital for about a week while he and his parents became educated about how to manage his diabetes. “I was just not ready; I couldn’t even talk about it,� said Sue of the emotional time. “I cried. All I did was cry. But I didn’t allow it to define us or stop our family from doing anything.� She became determined to do something to help, reading up on nonprofits and fundraising. It became a family effort, because the diagnosis affected everyone, including Christopher’s twin brother, Matthew, and older brother Thomas. “It’s therapeutic,� Sue said of the foundation. “The only thing you have control of is to help with research that will make his and others’ lives easier.� Thanks to the “very calming� Dr. Thomas Kelly at Rady Children’s Hospital and resources provided by JDRF San Diego, the Schillings have gotten a handle on Christopher’s diabetes. “Diabetes hit a child in our family that is strong enough to handle it. He’s a mature guy. He’s a numbers guy, and diabetes is a numbers game,� Christian said, noting how Christopher’s blood sugar must kept in balance in a range of 80 to 180. “I’m incredibly proud of him because of the way he’s handled it. He’s been very positive, very focused, and he’s very disciplined.� That’s not to say there haven’t been hard days. There See DIABETES, page 10

TPHS alum and author releases second book of epic ‘Ronin’ saga BY ROB LEDONNE Hot on the heels of the release of his debut novel, “The Knife’s Edge,” Torrey Pines High School graduate Matthew Wolf is eagerly anticipating the release of his second book in two years, “Citadel of Fire.” The novels are the first two installments of Wolf’s epic fantasy series dubbed The Ronin Saga, which he explains as a sort of “Lord of the Rings”-style story combined with elements of “Knights of the Round Table.” “I wrote 8 1/2 hours a day, nonstop,” said Wolf of his busy schedule in order to complete “Citadel of Fire,” which famed book reviewer Kirkus recently summed up as “a richly detailed, complex fantasy universe populated by intriguing characters who will continually surprise readers throughout the briskly paced tale.” The rave review comes as no surprise, considering Wolf tweaked his story thanks to the guidance he received from the release of his first book, “The Knife’s Edge.” “I was reading every single review I got and trying to see what people loved about the story, and what I personally loved about the story,” explained Wolf. “It was a cool moment to fill in the gaps, especially having the characters and dialogue evolve.” Fortunately for Wolf, the release of “The Knife’s Edge” (which began when the budding author was attending Torrey Pines High and took nine years to complete), yielded plenty of sales and reaction. “I had high expectations, and in some ways we’ve met a lot of them,” Wolf said. “In the first month of sales, we hit the top 2,000 of all books on Amazon.com, and at one point we were in the Top 5. Some of the reactions I’d love, and others I would not. When I first started reading the reviews, they could either make or break my day.” Now, no longer a new face to the literary world, Wolf is an established author and has the fans to prove it. He re-
Matthew Wolf cently attended ComicCon and says it was the first time he “didn’t really have to sell anyone on the book.” “It was weird for me to have a line of people wanting to buy the book,” he said. “I was used to giving a whole rundown of what the series was about, but this time we had a flood of people walking up to the table.” Wolf says “Citadel of Fire,” scheduled for release
on Thursday, Aug. 14, answers many questions that “The Knife’s Edge” left ambiguous. “My problem at first is that I tried to hide a lot from people,” he says. “Book One had a lot of questions, and Book Two answers these questions and explores a whole new world. It takes place in a land of magic, where mystical creatures abound. It’s a kingdom of fire.” Now that “Citadel of Fire” is complete, don’t expect Wolf to slow down anytime soon. He plans to make The Ronin Series a nine-part story, which means that the final book won’t come out until around the year 2022. Until then, he’s basking in the glory of completing his latest release. Said Wolf, ”I couldn’t be more happy with how it came out.” For more on Matthew Wolf, “Citadel of Fire,” and the Ronin Series, visit www. RoninSaga.com.

are days when he gets tired of the monitoring and days of birthday cupcakes he just can’t have. The monitoring is required for his health. Christopher typically must prick his finger eight times a day to test his blood. His parents test him during the night while he sleeps. If his levels are too low, they have to awaken him to have some juice or to rub raw sugar on his cheeks; if the levels are too high, he has to get a shot of insulin. He takes two insulin shots a day, and when he’s in school, he frequently checks in with the school nurse. “There are days that are really difficult, but for the most part, those days are few and far between,” said Christian. “I feel like I’m fighting it,” said Christopher, who was an all-star in baseball last season and is a “phenomenal” basketball player. He admits it feels great
to see all the people come out and support him the way they did at last year’s tournament. While the tournament is not open to children, Christopher will take the first drive this year to kick off the round of play. With Christopher’s Foundation, the Schilling family aims to do one fundraising event each quarter, and next year they would like to grant a wish for a local child with diabetes. They are proud to be affiliated with JDRF San Diego, which recently hosted a Promise Ball Gala that raised more than $1 million. Research is ongoing and San Diego company Dexcom is even working on an artificial pancreas. “Hopefully, Type 1 will become Type None and that’s the day that we’re eager for — when diabetes is cured,” Christian said.

Former Santa Fe Christian pitching standout Nolan Gannon enjoying breakthrough year in pro ball BY GIDEON RUBIN Baseball prospects are mostly rated by numbers. Their measurable skills are graded by scouts, and their performances evaluated by statistics. Former Santa Fe Christian pitching standout Nolan Gannon is doing just fine in those categories. But Gannon attributes one quality that doesn’t show up in box scores and can’t be measured on a stopwatch to what so far has been a breakout year in the Tampa Bay Rays minor league system. “Maturity,� said Gannon, who’s in his third year of pro ball since being selected by the Rays in the fourth round of the 2012 draft out of Santa Fe Christian. “Maturity comes along with the development,� he said. “If you’re mature, you’re able to see what you’re doing wrong and what you’re doing right and be able to separate the good from the bad. If you don’t have maturity, you’re either thinking you’re the worst or you’re thinking you’re the best without a realistic point of view.� It’s hard to argue with the results. The 20-year-old right-hander is 5-2 with a 2.68 ERA pitching for the Hudson Valley (N.Y.) Renegades in the Class-A New York-Penn League. Gannon’s command has been especially impressive. Through 47 innings, he’s struck out 43 batters and allowed just five walks. The parent club has already taken note of his exceptional command. “He’s a strike thrower,� said Renegades pitching coach Jorge Moncada. Gannon says trusting his stuff helps him keep a fast game simple. He says learning to pitch to contact enables him to keep his pitch count down and go deeper into games. “That’s basically it,� Gannon said, “just not overthinking.� It all comes back to maturity, he said. “I’m becoming more mature and starting to understand my body and my mind more,� he said. “Definitely, the coaching has a big impact on that as well.�
Nolan Gannon Photo by Bill Richmond Gannon believes his experience at Santa Fe Christian played a big part in his development, too. His prep career culminated with him leading the Eagles to a 4-3 victory over Madison in the San Diego Section Division IV finals at Tony Gwynn Stadium. Gannon struck out 14 batters and allowed three runs on six hits and one walk as the Eagles won their second consecutive state sec-

tional championship. He credits the Eagles coaching staff with helping him prepare for the challenges of professional baseball. “They treated us like men,� Gannon said. “They put a lot of responsibility on us and they definitely expected a lot from us — but in return they gave us the respect as young men that we deserved. “They didn’t just talk to us like we were young boys.� He acknowledged, however, that adjusting to the rigors of playing professional baseball for nearly seven months straight — in hot and humid weather, with few off days — is challenging. Especially for an 18-yearold drafted just out high school in 2012. “Basically, your job is baseball,� he said. “Having baseball every day, running every day, throwing every day and working out every day, it’s a grind physically. That was probably the biggest adjustment I had to make from high school to pro ball.� Gannon’s adjustment has impressed the Rays. “He’s a smart kid,� Moncada said. “He’s
always open to learning. Sometimes you find guys that you need to sell the information to, but with Nolan, it’s so easy to work; he’s always open to work.� The Rays also like his upside. Gannon features a three-pitch fastballcurveball-splitter repertoire. His fastball topped out at 94 mph in spring training and regularly reaches into the low 90s. He projects he’ll have even more velocity once his lean, 6-foot-5 195-pound frame fills out. Though the Rays are a small-market franchise, Gannon knows opportunities abound with the club. “Being in an organization such as the Rays definitely gives us extra motivation, knowing that the organization that we’re in pulls from their own system,� he said. “They like to develop pitchers, especially, and have their own (players) playing for the Rays instead of going out and buying (free agents). “That’s definitely encouraging, knowing that I’m playing for an organization that does that.�

Trampoline champion on his way to accomplishing several goals BY KAREN BILLING If you didn’t know any better, you might think the teenager soaring high into the air off a trampoline inside the Flip Force San Diego gym was on a collision course with the ceiling. But the high-flying Christopher Lucio is in complete control, executing mid-air moves with power and style. The Carmel Valley resident and incoming Cathedral Catholic High School freshman recently won the gold medal in trampoline in his division at the USA Gymnastics Trampoline and Tumbling Championships in Louisville, Ky. He also took home the bronze in power tumbling. “They didn’t display the scores until we were walking out; we were all nervous. It was disbelief for me,� Christopher said when he finally saw his scores, the accomplishment he is most proud of in his career so far. In trampoline competition, there are two rotations. The first is a compulsory set by USA Gymnastics where every athlete performs the same skills; the second gives the athletes room to create their own routines as long as they perform 10 skills. Judges grade the gymnasts on sticking to their routines and for their technique. They also get points for the amount of time spent in the air. At nationals, Christopher racked up 14 seconds of hang time on one of his skills. “The biggest move I pulled was a double layout, backward, and I landed it,� he said. This is Christopher’s third year competing in trampoline and tumbling, and his second trip to the nationals — in 2013, he won the level nine 13-14 boys division in power tumbling. For five years, Christopher competed in artistic gymnastics, which includes the standard disciplines of rings, bars, pommel horse, vault and floor exercise. Some of his team members started making the migration over to trampoline and tumbling, and he followed to check it out. What made him stick? “Besides jumping on a trampoline?� questions Christopher. “You go pretty high, and the air time and flipping on
Carmel Valley’s Christopher Lucio competes in the USA Gymnastics Trampoline and Tumbling Championships in Louisville, Ky. Courtesy photo trampolines is fun — it feels like you’re flying.� In power tumbling, Christopher takes off down an elevated spring runway, executing acrobatic tricks in a flurry along the way. Dedicated to his sport, he is in the gym Tuesday through Saturday, three to four hours each day. He sacrifices his Saturday mornings and fits in practice around his schoolwork. Watching Christopher bound, twist and soar into the air during a recent practice, grandfather Everett remarked that Christopher could spend hours in the gym
and would probably sleep there if given a bed. At the gym, he works with head competitive trampoline and tumbling coach Ivan Flores and assistant coach Misha Yordonov, a pair with distinguished backgrounds. Flores is the owner of Flip Force; she competed on the Mexican National Gymnastics Team and continues to perform professionally as an acrobat at SeaWorld. Yordonov is a former member of the Bulgarian National Team for power tumbling. “It’s fun. I don’t think I’d be better at any other sport,� said Christopher, who also does parkour with a team of friends called
Raven Krew, jumping off and flipping over urban obstacles. Despite all his daredevil tricks, Christopher has yet to be seriously injured, just fracturing a wrist in tumbling and suffering basic scrapes on his hands and limbs from his parkour adventures. This season was Christopher’s last competing in the 13-14 division. Next year he moves up to level 10, the 15-16 age group. His goal is to make the Junior National Team next year and eventually reach the junior elite level, the next level after level 10. Athletes must be 16 to become a senior elite, able to compete at World Championships and Olympic competitions. The Olympic dream always has a spot on his mind. Thinking smaller and more locally, Christopher also hopes to get a trampoline and tumbling team up and running at Cathedral, where they field only a women’s artistic gymnastics team. He hopes he can expose more gymnasts and people to his sport — to see it take off and really fly.

Former Francis Parker hoops star joins English pro team
Local lawyers honored by American Association for Justice
Former Francis Parker School basketball star Tyler Bernardini has signed to play with a team in Britain’s top professional league. He is joining the Leicester Riders hoops club at Loughborough University. Bernardini, 25, earned all-state basketball honors in 2007 at Parker before starring at the University of Pennsylvania. He’ll join the Leicester Riders club at the school 110 miles northwest of London — and continue his academic career there as well. “Degree options made the decision really easy for me,” said Bernardini, a graduate of the prestigious Wharton School of Business at Penn.

Bernardini led Parker to a Coastal League championship and a school best 28-4 record. He was 1st Team All-State in California and started all four years at Penn, where he was Ivy League Rookie of the Year. “I am extremely excited to be continuing my basketball career with Leicester,” Bernardini said. “I have never felt better physically, so for me, these next few years will be some of the best basketball I hope to play. I cannot wait to contribute to the tradition and success of the club.” Engaged to be married, he plans to move to England this month with his fiancée and begins practice Sept. 1. “My fiancée and I are very thankful for the opportunity to be a part of the community of Leicester and look forward to growing the profile of Riders basketball,” he said.

David S. Casey Jr. and Frederick Schenk — longtime partners at San Diego-based CaseyGerry — received top honors at The American Association for Justice 2014 annual convention in Baltimore late last month. Casey received the AAJ New Lawyers Division (NLD) Defender of Justice Award and Schenk, of Carmel Valley, earned recognition as a Diplomate of Trial Advocacy. David S. Casey Jr. According to NLD Exec- Frederick Schenk utive Committee Chair Jessica Klarer Pride, Casey was awarded the Defender of Justice Award for his commitment to defending the rights of others, in particular for his work in helping to forming Trial Lawyers Care — the largest pro-bono effort in American jurisprudence history. In his role as AAJ president and vice president, he helped create and coordinate an effort in which more than 1,000 attorneys secured awards of more than $2.5 billion for families of 9/11 victims. Over the years, his landmark cases have had far-reaching consequences — from his current role on the Plaintiffs Steering Committee helping to oversee national MDL litigation against the National Football League to his work with the firm in helping to attain a $5 billion verdict for fishermen — after 21 years of litigation — after the Exxon Valdez oil spill. Schenk was honored at the AAJ event with Diplomate status for his commitment to improving practical knowledge of trial skills and substantive law, as well as for his dedication to pursuing advanced legal education. To receive the designation, Schenk completed more than 400 hours of jury trial training with AAJ education programs, including AAJ’s advanced trial skills seminar at Harvard Law School. Schenk and his CaseyGerry partner Thomas Penfield are the only attorneys in San Diego to attain this status, the highest academic recognition attainable through AAJ. Only nine attorneys in California and fewer than 150 lawyers throughout the United States have earned this designation from AAJ, the largest organization of trial lawyers in the United States. The goal of the AAJ’s Trial Advocacy program is to build and develop professional knowledge. Active participants are recognized for dedication, commitment and enthusiasm in pursuing legal education.

DMBC member Wiedermeyer wins second championship in 2 weeks Briguitte Linn Wiedemeyer, of the Del Mar BodySurfing Club, captured her second first-place finish in as many weeks at the Huntington Beach Bodysurf Championship this past Saturday, Aug. 9. She won the gold medal in the Womens division of the International Bodysurfing Championship in Manhattan Beach on Aug. 2. Dr. Bruce Robbins, a founding member of the club, won second place in the Mens Masters division (60 and over) at the Huntington Beach contest. Tim Barnes and Jeffrey Robbins (a former Del Mar Lifeguard) both advanced to the semifinals of the Mens 20-39 age division.
Other DMBC members represented at the Huntington contest were Morgan Launer, Ray Sullivan and Vince Askey. Wiedemeyer nearly missed the Huntington Beach Championship. Weather conditions because of Hurricane Iselle in Hawaii delayed her flight to LAX on Friday night. She arrived in Huntington Beach just hours before the 7 a.m. contest check-in on Saturday and had to sleep briefly in her rental car at the beach. Lack of sleep did not keep her from winning her second contest in two weekends. A resident of Brazil, Wiedemeyer comes to southern California most summers to pursue competitive bodysurfing.

Ocean Air Drive will not solve anything
One Paseo: We deserve a real choice
In response to last week’s letter to the editor titled “Disappointed to read about increasing enrollment at TH school” regarding increasing class sizes at Torrey Hills Elementary school, I couldn’t agree more. My daughter is beginning kindergarten this fall and part of the reason we chose to buy our home in Carmel Valley is due to the stellar public schools. Anything that could potentially erode her receiving the best public education possible, is a negative in our book. However, I would like to disagree on the second topic. Increasing the speed limit on Ocean Air Drive will not solve anything and will, in fact, drive down community safety, property values and overall happiness across Torrey Hills. In fact, I would adamantly advocate for lowering the speed limit down to 25 MPH and adding speed bumps and a cross walk. Many people use Ocean Air as a cut through to get from Carmel Mountain Road down to Sorrento Valley. Most of these people don’t live in the neighborhood and are happy to drive 40 and sometimes 50 MPH. It’s incredibly dangerous trying to cross this road. Even as a healthy adult, let alone with a child on a bike, an elderly person, or a handicapped individual. There is no cross walk and no stop sign, plus the road bends and curves, making visibility for both pedestrians and drivers challenging. The fact that there is not already a marked crosswalk is insane. The Penasquitos Canyon walking path clearly should connect to the path under the power lines leading down to Torrey Hills Park and school. It’s amazing that such an obvious connection point between the two walking paths hasn’t been addressed. The trail runs behind our house and we hear loads of running groups, kids coming home from school, and dog walkers using that path. We can only surmise that they’re playing Frogger to get from one part of the path to the other, darting across Ocean Air. The completion of the apartments near the school will only add more traffic to Ocean Air Drive. We fear that there may have to be an injury or fatality in order to escalate the need for slower driving and a safe way to cross. We truly hope it does not come to this. Jessica Jensen
For several years, Kilroy has spent tens of millions of dollars promoting the illusion that our only choice is between a “ho hum” office park and an exciting Main Street development. Easy decision, right? Except that the majority of our community, including project opponents, already supports a high-end mixed-use concept on that site. What the developer’s PR campaign seeks to deny us is a real choice between his proposal to triple the project’s approved size, and delivering the same concept and amenities in a smaller size, closer to that approved in our Community Plan. One that doesn’t generate more than four times its allocated traffic, creating lengthy intersection and freeway delays, and inevitably forcing impatient drivers to cut through neighborhoods where younger children play. In public meetings, the developer insisted these consequences would be mitigated by his proposed street improvements. But in a just-issued Statement of Overriding Considerations, he finally admits that those improvements alone will not be able to mitigate the nightmare traffic scenario. His statement clarifies that the principal improvements One Paseo relies on for mitigation — Caltrans’ proposed construction of two I-5/SR 56 freeway connectors, widening SR 56 and a new bridge for Del Mar Heights Road over I-5 — cannot be delivered concurrent with One Paseo. The State has neither approved nor funded them, and construction is not planned until 2030 at the earliest. Therefore, approving the tripling of his building entitlement would leave our community with gridlocked streets for at least 15 years and possibly much longer. Recognizing this, the city directed the developer to give us Reduced Scale Alternatives delivering the same concept in a size more suited to our community’s scale and infrastructure capacity. The developer complied, but then immediately rejected them as “not meeting project goals,” without explaining why. What could those goals be that nothing less than tripling the project would meet them? Most of us want the developer’s One Paseo Main Street concept, and it’s likely our Planning Board would endorse a modest project expansion to achieve that. But the developer remains resolute he’ll accept nothing less than tripling the project, super-sizing his own profits at our expense by saddling our community with traffic nightmares for years to come. Please join us at the Aug. 28 Planning Board meeting and urge our board to recommend against the current One Paseo proposal, and to concurrently advocate that the developer return with the same concept in a smaller build-out. Assuming the City Council supports us, be assured the developer will have an attractive “Plan B” in front of the board in the proverbial blink of an eye — the real choice we deserve! Robert Freund Carmel Valley resident and retired commercial real estate executive
Re-visioning the One Paseo Loop BY GORDON CLANTON In the July 25, 2013 column, I offered an idea to mitigate traffic impacts of the proposed gi-normous One Paseo shopping center and residential towers project in Carmel Valley. As the community considers the final Environmental Impact Report, I hope planners will take another look. Imagine a one-way clockwise loop road around the perimeter of the One Paseo site, built on One Paseo property at the developer’s expense. Cars heading for the shopping center from eastbound Del Mar Heights Road would enter the two-lane loop road diagonally through two entrances. Cars also would enter the loop diagonally from southbound El Camino Real through two entrances. Once on the one-way loop, cars could exit diagonally to the right through several passages into the parking areas nearest their destinations or exit diagonally to the left to exit the center and merge again with eastbound DMH Road or southbound ECR. Because all vehicles would enter and leave the loop diagonally, congestion would be reduced. Similar to the San Diego
Airport internal roadways, the loop road would vacuum cars from the adjacent thoroughfares, thus minimizing traffic impacts. Developers don’t like this proposal because they don’t like the idea of giving their profit-making space over to a road — perhaps because developers have become accustomed to using public streets, paid for by taxpayers, to provide access to their centers for shoppers and deliveries and to absorb their overflow traffic. Developers might agree to the idea if it represented the only way they could get their projects built — or the only route to perhaps a modest density bonus above the maximum permitted under current zoning, maybe one more floor on the residential towers. Some environmentalists don’t like the proposal because they don’t like the idea of “more concrete” that would encourage more cars to come to the site. Such environmentalists
might agree to this plan once they realize that, no matter what the size of the center, it will attract many more vehicles than adjacent streets can absorb. The new shopping center will bring far more serious congestion, unless we require the center design to absorb all the traffic it generates with an airport-style loop road built around the edges of its vast parking lots.

Where is the United Nations? Where is the U.N.? Over the weekend, I heard endless discussions on TV about whether or not the U.S. should do anything about the situation in Iraq. Why not the U.N.? I thought we paid millions of dollars to support the U.N., which since WWII was supposed to be the peacekeeper of the World!. Chapter I: Article 1 of the UN Charter states: “The Purposes of the United Nations are: To maintain international peace and security, and to that end: to take effective collective measures for the prevention and removal of threats to the peace, and for the suppression of acts of aggression or other breaches of the peace, and to bring about by peaceful means, and in conformity with the principles of justice and international law, adjustment or settlement of international disputes or situations which might lead to a breach of the peace.” So, why are we talking about what the U.S. should do? Why not the U.N, which is the peacekeeper of the World? Ralph Peck Del Mar

Del Mar Historical Society seeks plan to ‘bring our house home’ BY THE DEL MAR HISTORICAL SOCIETY, PART II For many years, the Del Mar Historical Society has been working with the city to find a permanent location for the Alvarado House. It has been at the fairgrounds since 1989 and is open to the public for only the three weeks of the fair. Also, DMHS is the only historical society in San Diego county that does not have a “home.” Among the locations looked at are the train station property (before it was leased by Catellus); an area near the tennis courts, which is now the basketball court; a site adjacent to the Public Works Building; the then-city-owned lot on Balboa; the new Civic Center; a newly discovered, city-owned parcel on Camino del Mar just south of Ninth Street; the to-beplanned Shores Park; and Seagrove Park. The north end of the train station property remains a desirable site, assuming access and parking issues could be addressed. The tennis court area, Public Works yard and Balboa property are too far off the beaten path, in the flood plain, or a misuse of valuable property. The new Civic Center is an interesting option. The local public visibility would be good, but unless it had some green open space around it, the setting would be quite sterile. The Camino del Mar parcel is now part of the Shores Park property. The Shores property is not, and probably will not be, visited by many Del Martians and virtually no visitors. DMHS fears the house will be used by the Del Mar Historical Society, but otherwise lost in this setting. That leaves Seagrove Park. Read Part III in this series next week.

that they’re comfortable enough to write their comments and add to the project through the process,” said Gibson, who first joined the conservancy in 1996. Founded in 1987, and based in Solana Beach, the conservancy is a nonprofit land trust and the premier stewardship organization for the San Elijo Lagoon. Owned and managed by California Department of Fish and Wildlife, the county’s parks and recreation department, and the conservancy, the 979-acre reserve is located between Encinitas and Solana Beach, extending inland to Rancho Santa Fe. After 18 years of research and planning, Gibson said it is time for largescale restoration of the lagoon, which hosts more than 700 species of plants and animals, many rare and endangered. “When you’re looking at the reserve now, and you sort of go and look out from the trail, you may not notice what the problems are because it looks pretty healthy,” he said. “We have to try to break that stigma. It is beautiful, but it has problems.”
The lagoon needs restoration because of sedimentation and water pollution from historical and current infrastructure, such as Interstate 5. A restored wetland would re-establish the lagoon’s natural water filtration, return fish nurseries, provide mudflat habitat for migrating birds, and create cleaner beaches, Gibson said. In May, the conservancy launched an online survey to ask community members whether they would be likely to participate in the planned summer meetings and what topics should be addressed. Gibson said it’s important for the public to be involved in all steps of the process. The conservancy will look over and respond to the public’s comments, possibly incorporating some of the suggestions in the final version of the environmental impact report, which should be released in spring 2015, Gibson said. “If they’ve thought of something that we haven’t, let’s make it better,” he said. “They can make a difference.” The first community meeting will run from 6-7:30 p.m. Aug. 19 at La Colonia Community Center, 715 Valley Ave. in Solana Beach. The second meeting will take place from 6-7:30 p.m. Aug. 27 at Encinitas Community Center, 1140 Oakcrest Park Drive. For information about the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy, or to read the draft EIR, visit www.sanelijo.org. The document is also available at the San Elijo Lagoon Nature Center, Cardiff-by-the-Sea Library, Solana Beach Library and the county parks and recreation department.

Paul Von Petersen, founder and president of production company ESMI Productions, pulled nomination papers but ultimately decided not to run having recently signed on to a new film project.

on the turf course after the spate of horse deaths. Rubinstein said the turf course was judged safe by state regulators and representatives of trainers’ and breeders’ groups before it was used for racing. “Everybody in the industry thought it was a safe course from Day One,” he said. As to the four horse deaths, he said, “We do think it was a statistical anomaly.” Necropsies of the horses will take 60 to 90 days, and the results will be analyzed by the Thoroughbred Club and the state Horse Racing Board, Rubinstein said. In all, eight horses have died at Del Mar this year: four on the turf course, one on the main course, and three from natural causes,
Rubinstein said. In the wake of the horse deaths, the club has eliminated shorter, faster “sprint” races, and also prohibited “claiming” horses from racing on the turf track. That means only the “best of the best” horses can race on the turf course this year, Rubinstein said. Track officials also have instituted aggressive watering and aerating schedules to make the turf track softer, and are requiring four checks of every horse by a veterinarian before racing begins. “Any horse that they have the slightest bit of concern about should be withdrawn from the race,” he said. After this fall’s racing meet, track officials plan to replace the larger track’s synthetic surface with a natural dirt surface, Rubinstein said.

a real estate agent with Allison James Estates & Homes. While living in Colorado, Marshall served as chairwoman of the Eagle County Down Payment Assistance Fund and received an “Award for Housing Excellence” from Eagle County commissioners. A La Jolla native, Marshall said she is running for election because she is “a concerned citizen.” “I think that I can offer some common-sense compromises to some difficult issues that they’ve been dealing with,” said Marshall, who pointed to both the special election regarding the use of Fletcher Cove Community Center, and the ongoing lawsuit against the
city over the council’s approval of a mixed-use affordable housing development on a city-owned parking lot. “I think they need a fresh face with good negotiating skills. I’m a real estate agent, and that’s what I do for a living.” Marshall noted she is passionate about business, property rights and the “core issues” of health and safety, and police, fire and lifeguard services. “We need to get back to basics,” she said. A native San Diegan, Shannon Lerach has lived in Solana Beach for almost three years. Lerach, a licensed clinical psychologist, opened her private practice in January in Solana Beach. Throughout her career she has worked for a variety of county, nonprofit and charitable organizations, including Kearny Mesa Juvenile Hall, Juvenile Forensic Services, The Chadwick Center for Children and Families at Rady Children’s Hospital, and the Fred Finch Youth Center. She is seeking public office to further give back to the community. “I believe very strongly in public responsibility and civic duty,” said Lerach, who was appointed to the San Diego County Mental Health Board in July. “I was raised to believe that your moral responsibility is to give back.” Lerach said she is not a “single-issue candidate.” “I don’t have a personal agenda that I’m trying to execute by getting on the council,” she said. “I’m trying to be a voice for my community and use my skill set as a professional listener, mediator and consensus builder — which is what I do in my practice — to try and be a problem-solver and help build consensus in our community and on our council.” Patrick Germon pulled nomination papers, but ultimately decided not to run. “After further review and consideration, I do not have the bandwidth or time to run,” said Germon via email. “In fairness to my family, my community and myself, I do not want to run if I cannot give the community and my campaign 110 percent. So I will not be submitting my paperwork to file.” The deadline to file nomination papers was Aug. 8, but was extended by five days because both incumbents did not file. Nichols and Marshall had filed by Aug. 7. Look for the final list of candidates next issue.

Nevertheless, Solana Beach needs to reduce its greenhouse gas emissions to 114,510 metric tons of CO2 equivalent by 2020. “I realize it’s incumbent on all of us as individual residents to be as environmentally sensitive as we can,” said resident Carol Childs. “Each of us should do whatever it is we can, but it’s almost funny listening to the setup you described — what the state is putting on us — really, unfairly.” A number of workshop attendees offered feedback on the four scenarios, with the majority agreeing that none of the options perfectly suited Solana Beach. “Almost all of the measures that you recommended in any one of your scenarios is doomed to failure,” said Jack Hegenauer, a member of the city’s Clean & Green Committee. “It’s not going to reach the target effectively. You’ve got to focus the city on really doing something meaningful to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, rather than just glossing it over with more bicycle lanes and more solar, which is a voluntary kind of program.” By the end of the meeting, some of the attendees spoke in favor of a fifth scenario that would increase the goal for solar panels on

incident. Staff members at the Mission Bay RV Resort welcomed the youth, who had lunch at the resort’s community center and then had fun on kayaks and paddleboards. “We barbecued all day,” said Albury, who said that the group didn’t head home until about 6 p.m. “We kept their minds occupied.” After the incident, Castellanos reached out to every family to assure them of their child’s safety. Crean reached out to Trauma Intervention Program of San Diego County, a nonprofit volunteer organization that offers immediate emotional and practical support to victims and their families in the first few hours after a tragedy. “Seeing someone wave a gun around at a police officer … it’s pretty traumat-
businesses and residences, as well as incorporate Community Choice Aggregation, also called green power purchasing. Scenario Four proposed annually reducing GHG emissions by reaching out to about 2,500 homes regarding energy education, weatherproofing 10 low-income homes, commercial benchmarking for 100,000 square feet of businesses, commercial retrofitting for 50,000 square feet of businesses, and installing solar panels on a few businesses and 14 homes. “These are examples of scenarios,” noted City Manager David Ott. “This is the first workshop to take your input to refine scenarios. These are just examples to get discussion going.” The city’s CAP is being developed as part of the General Plan Update process. Since May 2012, the city has held a series of public meetings and workshops regarding the General Plan Update, including a CAP workshop in May 2013. The city also issued a community questionnaire in May 2012 and has accepted comments through its website. The Draft Land Use and Circulation Elements are complete and available for public review on the city’s website. Solana Beach also plans to release its Draft Environmental Impact Report by the end of August. After the 45-day public review period of the document, the city and its consultants will respond to public comments. The final EIR will be presented during a public hearing tentatively set for December.
ic,” Crean said. “It creates a lot of anxiety and stress. “They need an ear lent to them so they can talk about what they saw or heard. Even if they didn’t see or hear anything, they saw Gloria, Jarvis and their staff hustle everybody into a small bathroom.” Volunteers from TIP San Diego agreed to help out. The specially trained volunteers visited the La Colonia Branch Aug. 8 to talk with the children, teens and adults who were on the scene. “We are thankful for the support of the Mission Bay RV Resort and TIP San Diego,” Albury said. “It’s nice to see everybody in the community come together in a situation like this.” For more about the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito, visit bgcsandieguito.org.

inclusive environment with proper services, going forward she would likely remain in a severely handicapped class.” The family’s solution was a small general education class at a local private school, the Hanna Fenichel Center, where Ka. D. had already “made substantial and impressive progress” as a 3-year-old and would have access to a one-onone aide, outside experts told the court. The district declined to pay the school’s $6,100 annual tuition, arguing the district’s placement offer complied with the law. The Doyles took their concerns to an administrative law judge, who ruled in their favor in January 2008. The district paid the tuition at that point, but hired a team of attorneys to appeal the matter to the district court, then the Ninth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. After losing at that level, the district attempted to get the case heard in the U.S. Supreme Court, without success. Superintendent Nancy Lynch said the district feared the case would open the door for other families to choose private school over public, leaving taxpayers with the bill. “We didn’t want it to set precedent that parents could unilaterally make a decision that even though your programs are good or better, we want this one instead,” said Lynch, who took the district’s top job in April 2012. “We offer exceptional programs. You don’t want that to become a practice.” After the nation’s high court declined to hear the case in November 2012, the parties argued over legal bills. The Doyles’ attorney, Maureen Graves, submitted $787,000 in bills to the court, which was reduced to the $580,000 because fees were disallowed for certain unsuccessful arguments the family made. “It’s difficult to understand why so much would be allowed for this case that should have been over a long time ago at reasonable fees,” Lynch said. “You don’t know that the court would allow an extreme amount of fees.” School board president Richard Leib, who works as an attorney for a local liquid waste recycling company, called the family’s fees ridiculous. “Of course it would have been far better to settle this case. The problem is, at the time, if you start settling all these cases, what message are you sending?” Leib said. “Our program was as good or better than the one they ended up going to.” The district incurred more than $300,000 in legal bills on the case through 2012 alone, largely for the services of law firms Fagen Friedman & Fulfrost LLP., and later Stutz Artiano Shinoff & Holtz, district records obtained by Graves show. U-T Watchdog has asked for a full accounting of spending, including 2013 and 2014. The county’s joint powers authority Special Education Legal Alliance has contributed $90,000 toward the legal bills, public records show. Hefty legal costs were questioned by a justice in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, according to a court audio recording. At the start of a Feb. 17, 2012 hearing, U.S. District Judge Edward R. Korman said, “I am just curious. This whole dispute is about counsel fees I assume. Nobody in their right economic mind would be carrying a case to the Ninth Circuit that seems to me to involve something like $6,000 to $7,000.” Attorney Jack Sleeth with Stutz Artiano Shinoff & Holtz
replied, “I don’t think so, your honor. I think this is really about the importance of the special education requirements for this particular student.” Kyla Doyle said the family was perplexed by the district’s continued appeals, especially as their daughter flourished at the district’s general education kindergarten class with an aide, and after they moved to Utah in June 2010. “At no point did we have any interest to make this a prolonged legal battle,” Doyle said. “They fought to say this little girl was so disabled that she should not have been included when she was attending their school fully included and thriving. There was no premise for it. “I was thinking, what a monumental waste… It just seemed like the only ones winning were their lawyers,” Doyle said. Sleeth told the U-T, “I think public schools can provide a superior education at a cost that’s acceptable to taxpayers. While it saddens me to see a million dollars paid in legal bills, the issue is really important. How do we educate these kids?” Ka. D. is now 11 and just completed fourth grade at a charter school in Logan, Utah. According to her family, peers can no longer tell she has a disability. Last school year she earned straight As, won a school swim meet, a state Arbor Day poster contest and the school science fair. Doyle credits a great deal of her daughter’s success to early intervention in the inclusive setting they fought for. Parents of children with disabilities often face an uphill battle when challenging a public school placement, Doyle said. “Parents in these cases get made out to be selfish, overbearing or they think their kid deserves more than the next kid,” Doyle said. “It’s so difficult for parents to file these cases because they are already dealing with a child with a disability.” Carlos Estrella, assistant superintendent of business services, said the order to pay nearly $580,000 to the Doyles’ attorney amounts to roughly 2 percent of the district’s annual revenue and will come out of reserves. “It’s going to have a financial impact,” Estrella said. “We are not going to be able to do $600,000 worth of something.”

Volunteers go to bat for foster youth through Voices for Children
BY KRISTINA HOUCK When Norma and Steve Chodos retired and relocated to Solana Beach from Los Angeles four years ago, it didn’t take them long to get involved in the community. With their new home overlooking San Elijo Lagoon, the couple applied to be docents to learn more about what’s beyond their backyard. “We knew nothing about the lagoon,” Norma Chodos said. “We were curious,” added Steve Chodos. Today, the duo co-lead walks through San Elijo Lagoon, nearly 1,000 acres of coastal wetlands between Encinitas and Solana Beach, extending inland from Pacific Coast Highway to Rancho Santa Fe. Norma, a retired English teacher, and Steve, a retired physicist, lean on each other’s strengths to teach children on field trips. “Steve has a Ph.D. in physics, so he usually handles the harder parts of the tours. Being an English major, I handle the descriptive beauty of what we’re seeing,” said Norma Chodos with a laugh. “It’s a good balance.” “She’s better at controlling the class,” added Steve Chodos, as he smiled at his wife of almost 47 years. Launched in 1995, the
Docent Sally Stoffel docent program is funded by San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy, a nonprofit dedicated to the conservation, interpretation and public enjoyment of San Elijo Lagoon. The nonprofit has 40 docents, including Carmel Valley resident Sally Stoffel, a two-year volunteer. Stoffel decided to volunteer at the lagoon after retiring from UC San Diego, where she worked for 35 years. “With raising kids and working, I never really had time to learn about what was around me,” said Stoffel, who has lived in Carmel Valley for 12 years and previously lived near the lagoon in Solana Beach for 27 years. “We would hike the lagoon, but I didn’t know See VOLUNTEERS, page B21
Current and former foster children spoke about the effect their court-appointed special advocates had on their lives at a local Aug. 7 event. Photo by Joe Tash spend 10 to 15 hours per month on their CASA duties, including outings and visits with their foster children. Voices for Children has a waiting list of 165 foster children who need CASAs, said Sharon Lawrence, the group’s president and CEO. The group especially needs males and bilingual Spanish speakers to volunteer, she said. Ashlee, 17, Hayden, 17, and Rosie, 22, described for the audience some of their experiences with their CASAs, talked about what it was like to be in the foster system and living in group homes, and shared some of the painful experiences they had been through as foster youths. Their last names were kept confidential to protect their privacy. All three youths spoke of being on their own, and lacking a consistent, loving presence in their lives. For example, Rosie said that during holidays, well-meaning donors would generously provide gifts for children in the foster system, but those presents didn’t fill
their need for relationships. “If you really want to make an impact on a child’s life, be in that child’s life,” she said. The three young people also spoke about how their CASAs had helped them, from arranging for medical and dental treatment, to making sure they were able to attend good schools. Hayden credited his CASA with helping him get away from a school in a bad neighborhood, and into a better situation. The foster youth-CASA relationship also provides huge rewards for the adult volunteers, said Amy Roost, an Encinitas resident who attended Thursday’s presentation. Roost, who works as an administrator at a Solana Beach-based nonprofit, has volunteered as a CASA for the past 18 months. She decided to get involved after her own two sons graduated from high school and went off to college. “I want to be there for my (foster) child in a way that, one, he feels he can trust me; two, he knows I’m

not going anywhere, and three, I will not judge him,” said Roost. One of the boys she worked with told her that his mother said it was his fault she had abandoned him, Roost said. Recently, she fought to get school district officials to do psychological testing on her foster child, leading to additional resources and flexibility in school to help him deal with learning disabilities, Roost said. Roost said she has gotten “so much back” from her work as a CASA. “What greater purpose is there than to be a guiding light for someone who is lost, to be by their side and help them figure things out?” she said. To volunteer as a CASA, or to support Voices for Children, visit the group’s website at Speakupnow.org, or call 858-5692019. The group holds regular information sessions for potential volunteers, and several sessions are scheduled for August and September.

BY JOE TASH When the “random lady” showed up at Ashlee’s group home, the teenage girl was leery of her. “I was afraid of her leaving, coming in and being with me and then leaving,” said Ashlee, a former foster youth who was taken away from her parents at age 10, along with her 3-year-old sister, because of abuse and neglect. Ashlee was speaking of her “CASA,” a volunteer advocate from a nonprofit group called Voices for Children, which screens and trains adults to work with foster children. Although it was difficult for Ashlee to trust anyone, over time she grew close to her CASA and now thinks of her as her best friend. Ashlee was one of three current and former foster youths who spoke at a panel discussion on Thursday, Aug. 7, at the Encinitas Library. The event was organized by Voices for Children and hosted by Third District County Supervisor Dave Roberts, who has adopted five foster children with his partner. The event was intended to raise awareness of Voices for Children and its work, and attract new volunteers from throughout San Diego County to serve as CASAs, which stands for “court-appointed special advocate.” Volunteers go through a screening process, then 35 hours of online and classroom training before being assigned to one or more foster children. As CASAs, they attend juvenile court hearings on behalf of their foster children, write reports that provide crucial information to the court, and in general look out for the welfare and best interests of their charges. Typically, volunteers

Mitchell Thorp Foundation fundraiser ‘Pillars of Hope’ to honor top medical professionals •Foundation supports families with children suffering from life-threatening illnesses, diseases and disorders
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KRISTINA HOUCK Brad and Beth Thorp lost their 18-year-old son Mitchell to an undiagnosed illness nearly six years ago. For five years, the family searched for answers, and when the community learned of their story, it offered support. Since then, the Thorps have given back to the community through the Mitchell Thorp Foundation, which supports families with children suffering from life-threatening illnesses, diseases and disorders. To raise funds for families in need, the foundation is debuting its Under the Tuscan Sun Charity Fashion Show, “Pillars of Hope,” on Sept. 6 at Cielo Village in Rancho Santa Fe. During the inaugural event, the Mitchell Thorp Foundation will honor top doctors, educators, therapists and practitioners. “They go over and above their call of duty to help families with these life-threatening conditions,” said Beth Thorp, co-founder and director of Mitchell Thorp Foundation. This year’s honorees are Dr. Mark Drucker with the Center for Advanced Medicine, Dr. Seth Pransky with Rady Children’s Hospital, Ruth Westreich, president of The Westreich Foundation, and Kim Schulte, a certified nutritionist with Biodynamic Wellness. Pransky, Thorp said, is treating a foundation-supported child who suffers from a rare condition. “He’s now training others across the world on how to treat this condition,” she said. “These are the kind of doctors and people we want to honor with what we’re doing. These stories are encouraging.” Mitchell was in seventh grade when he started experiencing severe headaches. By the end of his five-year battle, he could no longer walk or talk, and he had difficulty seeing. The pain in his head was so severe he suffered from seizures. Medicine did not help. Mitchell’s medical bills multiplied as the Thorp family
(Above and right) Mitchell Thorp Courtesy photos traveled across the country looking for answers. To help cover some of the costs, Carlsbad baseball leagues organized a walk-a-thon to raise money for Mitchell’s treatments. Inspired by their son’s strength and the community’s support, the Thorp family founded the Mitchell Thorp Foundation in 2009, which has since supported about 100 families by paying for medical, living and transportation costs. “Mitchell was a bright light. He had a very kind, gentle spirit,” said Thorp, whose family has lived in Carlsbad for 20 years. Mitchell grew up playing baseball in the community, following in the footsteps of his fa-
ther, who played minorleague baseball for the Dodgers. “He loved his family, friends and baseball,” she said. “He was the strongest, bravest young man.” Thorp noted the foundation’s logo features pillars to recognize her son’s strength, which is how event organizers decided on the name “Pillars of Hope” for the event. “This keeps Mitchell’s memory and spirit alive,” she said. “When Mitchell passed, it was very difficult. But we felt, ‘There’s nothing out there like this.’ We wanted to form a bridge and help families have a place to
come to. “His spirit radiated through him, through us, through the foundation — and it continues to do that with whoever we touch.” The inaugural “Pillars of Hope” event will feature an awards presentation, Tuscan cuisine, wine and beer tasting, fashion show, a live and silent auction, health and beauty vendors, and live entertainment. The event runs from
5:30-9:30 p.m. Sept. 6, at Cielo Village, 18029 Calle Ambiente in Rancho Santa Fe. Tickets cost $75 per person, $125 per couple, with VIP seating at $150 per person and $200 per couple. After Aug. 15, tickets will cost $100 per person, $150 per couple, with VIP seating at $200 per person and $250 per couple. For details or to buy tickets, visit mitchellthorp. org.

Bijou French Bistro has been welcoming patrons since June 27 in the former Amaya La Jolla space.
Ouefs Mayonnaise, a French appetizer, is a refined rendition of deviled eggs.
Fanciful French fare finds fans in La Jolla BY KELLEY CARLSON here’s a new culinary gem in “The Jewel.” The team behind Addison at The Grand Del Mar has conjured up a new idea for the space previously occupied by Amaya La Jolla, on Prospect Street. Bijou French Bistro — whose name means “jewel” — presents a menu with classic bistro fare that can be enjoyed in a European-influenced setting. It’s sophisticated with chandeliers, antique mirrors and delicately wrought accents amid a palette of aubergine, ochre and gold, yet manages to stay casual. Soft French melodies complement the experience. “The (new) concept fits the ambience,” Chef de Cuisine Shaun Gethin said. “We really want you to know exactly where you’re at” — which is France, he added with a smile. The dinner menu was designed by awardwinning Chef William Bradley, who is culinary director at Bijou and executive chef at Addison. At Bijou, Bradley and Gethin showcase their preferred French styles of cooking through an array of small plates, entrees and desserts that can be mixed and matched to provide a unique dining experience with each visit. One of the restaurant’s standouts among the “Petits Plats” is Ouefs Mayonnaise, a commonly-served French appetizer that’s a refined rendition of deviled eggs. In Bradley’s version (a tribute to his favorite Paris bistro, Le Comptoir du Relais), the hard-boiled eggs rest in a mustard sauce, garnished with lettuce. Additional light offerings include the Pâté de Campagne, Steak Tartare and French Onion Soup with gruyere and sherry, along

■ This week’s recipe:
Bijou French Bistro’s Tarte aux Fruits with Lemon Curd with “salades” such as the Niçoise; Salmon Rillettes; and Lyonnaise with poached Windsor Farm eggs, bacon and hollandaise. For its “Plats Principaux,” Bijou presents a half-dozen selections, from the Rainbow Trout with leeks, lentils and herb pistou, to the Steak Frites and Gnocchi à la Parisienne. There’s also the rich Lobster Gratin — a bowl filled with potato purée and sauce Américaine, roasted mushrooms and tender bites of butter-poached lobster with a sprinkling of breadcrumbs on top. Several vegetarian “Accompagnements” and a choice of fine “Fromages” are available to supplement the meal. Patrons may want to ensure they still have room for a “Pâtisserie,” whether it’s Brown Butter Clafoutis, Beignets or Macarons du Jour. One dessert that seems especially suited for summer is the Tarte aux Fruits, created with velvety lemon curd and topped with fresh berries. A dollop of
Tarte aux Fruits with lemon curd, berries and a dollop of raspberry crème. raspberry crème rests on the side. As France is one of the largest wine producers in the world, Bijou includes vintages on its menu. Wine Director Elizabeth Huettinger — who holds the same position at Addison — has selected “modern” wines from France and the U.S. West Coast to suit most budgets, ranging from the crisp and clean 2011 Albert Grivault Bourgogne chardonnay to the opulent 2000 Chateau Lynch-Bages of the renowned Pauillac line. Bijou highlights five varieties each day at special prices. Other available libations include craft beers and signature cocktails such as the Champs Elysees, a European inspiration that blends cognac, green chartreuse, lemon juice simple syrup and angostura bitters. They can be enjoyed during dinner, at the wine bar or while relaxing in the Club M lounge, where there’s live music 7-11 p.m. Thursday to Saturday.

Helen Woodward fundraising event Paddle ‘Pawers’ classes in August let showcases animal medium Aug. 23 you enjoy waves with your pup For anyone who has ever looked into the eyes of their furry family member and sworn they have a deeper connection with that pet than anyone else on earth, Animal Medium Brent Atwater can tell you why. Atwater has been touching the lives of pet owners across the world with her books, blogs, social media and radio shows, all directed at the question of animal life after death. Now the world-renowned medium is donating her spiritual gifts to Helen Woodward Animal Center with a very special Readings for Rescue fundraiser from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23. At the age of only 5 years old, Atwater’s intuitive gifts were discovered by Dr. J. B. Rhine at Duke University, the founder of ESP. In the years that followed, she devoted decades to researching animal life after death, pet reincarnation and human, animal, spiritual connections. Her books (translated into multiple languages), blogs, radio shows and global Facebook groups skyrocketed her to the top of the list as a leading resource for pet loss grief and animal afterlife questions. In 1987, Atwater founded the Just Plain Love Charitable Trust, dedicating her special gifts to raising funds for children, pets and “other worthwhile causes.” Her ability to see and talk with living and dead pets helps heal hearts, answer unresolved questions and ultimately raise funds for the needs of animal welfare and pet rescue organizations across the country. Helen Woodward Animal Center is honored to welcome Atwater as she kicks off her 201415 season of Readings for Rescue. “I’ll be traveling the world filming live shows where we select audience pet photos and do readings (like the ‘Long Island Medium,’ John Edwards, James van Praagh-style) for living and deceased pets,” said Atwater. “Tax-deductible audience ticket proceeds go to the sponsoring organization. It’s my way of giving back with my Gift.” Helen Woodward Animal Center’s Readings for Rescue event will be from 1-3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23 with a special VIP Meet and Greet following the reading from 3:30 to 4:30 p.m. Tickets are $37 for general admission and include an entry into a drawing for a free 3.5-hour full reading for your pet, along with an autographed book. VIP tickets are $99 and include the main show plus entry into the after-show Meet & Greet event. VIP tickets also receive a second chance to win a free reading and autographed book, plus photo opportunity with Atwater and Helen Woodward staff. All attendees are encouraged to bring a printed photo of your current or past pet, as pet readings will be chosen at random. For more on the upcoming event or to buy tickets, call Helen Woodward Animal Center at 858-756-4117, ext. 350 (please RSVP by Wednesday, Aug. 20) or visit www.animalcenter. org.

This Sunday, hopeful Stand Up Paddle “Pawers” will head down to dog beach in Del Mar to try out the hottest new dog sport hitting the water! Helen Woodward Animal Center, known for their annual Surf Dog lessons, is offering classes for the “pup-”ular new canine craze. Perfect for dogs that prefer smooth waters to whitewater surf, dogs and their owners have the opportunity to learn from one of the best. Laura Nativo, pet trainer and host of Hallmark Channel’s Emmy-nominated series, “Home & Family,” also happens to be a stand-up paddleboarding semi pro and this Saturday’s class instructor. Those who wish to try the latest doggie sport can enroll to receive instruction on Sunday, Aug. 17 or Saturday, Aug. 23. All classes begin at 8:30 a.m. Considered one of the leading voices in animal-related entertainment, Nativo leapt into the pet-world spotlight on the CBS hit reality show, “Greatest American Dog,” alongside her Pomeranian pup, Preston. She and Preston finished in the top seven. Since then, she and Preston have hosted a live, interactive show for dog lovers, “Preston’s Planet L!VE”; traveled the country to work with other amazing dogs and their humans filming “The Adventures of Laura & Preston”; hosted a dog competition one-hour special for the Game Show Network, “Dog Park Superstars”; and much more, ultimately landing on Hallmark Channel’s lifestyle series, “Home & Family.” Through it all, Nativo has been passionate about promoting the importance of the human-animal connection and volunteering with pet-focused charities around the country. In her spare time, she has established herself as a semi-pro paddleboarder and she and Preston bond “on board.” The Helen Woodward Animal Center, a longtime friend of Nativo’s and grateful recipient of her dedication to the animal welfare world, has asked the team to serve as Paddleboard Ambassadors at the center’s upcoming Surf Dog Surf-A-Thon, sponsored by Blue Buffalo, on Sept. 7. The annual canine surf competition is the largest of its kind and has earned a reputation for attracting four-legged athletes from up and down the coast. This year, for the very first time, the beloved event will feature a Stand-Up Paddle Paws Parade, as well. Nativo and Preston will lead that parade. All Helen Woodward Animal Center Stand-Up Paddle Boarding lessons are limited to five dogs per class and run 70 minutes. All classes cost $45 with a $10 discount offered off any additional lessons and include the required canine life-vests and paddle boards. Dogs that prefer to “hang twenty” can enroll in Helen Woodward Animal Center Surf Dog lessons, which run on the same dates as the paddleboard classes. Surf Dog classes are limited to 10 dogs per class and run 50 minutes. Class times are 10 a.m., 11 a.m. and noon on Aug. 17 and 23. Dogs who take to the waves are encouraged to register for Helen Woodward Animal Center’s ninth annual Surf Dog Surf-A-Thon on Sept. 7. All proceeds from the classes and the annual competition go towards the animals and programs at Helen Woodward Animal Center. For details, questions or to register, go to animalcenter.org or call 858-756-4117, ext. 350, or stop by Helen Woodward Animal Center at 6461 El Apajo Road, in Rancho Santa Fe.

Sophie Tucker biopic gets Jewish Film Festival off to ‘red-hot’ start BY LONNIE BURSTEIN HEWITT Sophie Tucker. The name isn’t exactly a household word now, but I remember seeing her on television when I was growing up. She was a hefty, white-haired woman in her 70s by then, and her bawdy style was sanitized for TV, but she was still a star, called “The Last of the Red-Hot Mamas.” Bette Midler named her daughter Sophie after this roughtongued singer-comedian, who was one of Midler’s early inspirations. The child of Russian-Jewish immigrants, Sophie Kalish (her better-known last name came from her first husband) started entertaining in her parents’ Connecticut restaurant, and made her first appearance on a New York stage in 1907 — in blackface. Two years later, wearing her own face, she went on to The Ziegfeld Follies; by the roaring ’20s, she had become a huge recording star whose success spread to Europe and Eng- Singer Sophie Tucker (1887-1966), as she land, where she sang for King George V and Queen Mary. In the 1930s, she had her own radio show, and continued looked onstage in 1917. performing all the rest of her life. Today, you can hear her COURTESY PHOTO singing her breakout hit, “Some of These Days,” on YouTube, but better still, on Aug. 17 you can see a whole movie about her life and times at the JCC in La Jolla. The premiere of “The Outrageous Sophie Tucker” will be the kickoff event for the San Diego Jewish Film Festival, which celebrates its silver anniversary next Feb. 5-15. The film features Barbara Walters, Carol Channing, Michael Feinstein, Tony Bennett and many others, and of course, includes archival footage of the Red Hot Mama herself. Producers Lloyd and Susan Ecker, who spent seven years digging up inside stories about Tucker’s 60-year career, will be at the screening, and will lead a discussion afterward. Their source material was a stash of scrapbooks Tucker had meticulously kept all her life. These provided not only enough visuals to flesh out a movie, but enough information for a book titled, “I Am Sophie Tucker,” which they will introduce and sign later in the evening. The festival’s Craig Prater, who formerly headed the Palm Springs International Film Festival and is now in his second year as festival director here, talked about why he chose “Sophie Tucker” to kick off the Silver Season. “I always like to start with a film that’s fun and entertaining and makes people feel good,” he said. “Even if you’ve never heard of Sophie Tucker, you’ll know everyone who’s

Win for Enterprising sets tone for jockey’s day Jockey Mike Smith kicked off his birthday weekend Aug. 10 with a victory aboard favorite Enterprising in the $150,000, Grade III La Jolla Handicap on the grass at Del Mar, as turf racing resumed at the seaside oval. The 3-year-old colt unleashed a furious rally in the stretch to overtake his rivals and win by 1 1/4 lengths, while I’ll Wrap It Up held on for second over Sammy Mandeville. The final race time was 1:41.31 for the 1 1/16 miles. Enterprising — owned by Glen Hill Farm — is being considered for the $300,000, Grade II Del Mar Derby on Aug. 31, according to his trainer, Tom Proctor. The next day, Smith won the Grade II, $250,000 John C. Mabee Stakes aboard long shot Moulin de Mougin. “I can’t recall winning a stakes on my birthday before,” he said. (Smith turned 49.) “I usually don’t do good on that day. I’ve won a race or two before, but nothing like this.” Photo and report by Kelley Carlson interviewed in the movie, and you’ll certainly be able to relate to her music and all the things she said and did.” Prater promised that the 2015 festival would be bigger and better than ever, and include audience favorites from the past 25 years. If you go: “The Outrageous Sophie Tucker” shows at 7:15 p.m. Aug. 17, at the JCC’s Garfield Theater, 4126 Executive Drive. Tickets: $13.75. Call 858-362-1348 or visit sdjff.org.

Middle Eastern, American youth clasp Hands of Peace BY KRISTINA HOUCK While war rages in the Middle East, Israeli, Palestinian and American youth promoted peace during a summer camp held recently at Pacific Ridge School in Carlsbad. Organized by Hands of Peace, the nonprofit aims to build bridges between teens divided by conflict, culture, geography and history. “We’re trying to provide a safe space for these kids so they can communicate and listen to each other,” said San Diego Site Director Scott Silk. “We believe that by giving them this space to talk and to be together, we are giving the opposing side a human face — for all involved. That’s the start to any kind of peace — understanding that the people on the other side are actually human, too.” For the past nine years, Silk has worked with the Chicago-based nonprofit, which holds annual summer retreats for students ages 15 through 18. This summer, the group held its 11th summer program with 42 teens in Chicago, and Silk helped launch a sister program in San Diego’s coastal North County. “The goal is to touch as many kids as we possibly can,” said Silk, who is Jewish and teaches Middle East and American history at Pacific Ridge School, a private school Scott Silk and Rana Haddad for grades 7 through 12. “I’ve been so amazed and touched by the community of people that’s rallied around this organization. There are hundreds of people here who are doing their part in some way or another.” Hands of Peace had to raise $140,000 to kick off its inaugural 17-day retreat in Carlsbad. All of the 24 participants received full or partial scholarships, with many having experienced violence and loss as a result of the ongoing IsraeliPalestinian conflict. As a regional coordinator, Arab-Israeli Rana Haddad helped recruit teens for the program she participated in

‘Super Tasty’ 5K benefit walk returns Sept. 6 to Solana Beach At least 20 restaurants are expected to join the third annual Super Tasty 5K, scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 6 in Solana Beach. The event is a fundraiser for Promises2Kids, a San Diego nonprofit working for children in foster care. Nichole Peterson, executive Director of the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce, helps plan the event with organizers of the Giro di San Diego Gran Fondo, a two-day celebration of cycling, held Sept. 6 and 7 at Fletcher Cove in Solana Beach. Participating restaurants are Carruth Cellars, Crush, Juicer’s, The Curious Fork, Wild Note Café, and others. “We’re always trying to help bring business to Solana Beach,” she explains. “Through the Super Tasty 5K, we get to showcase the unique restaurants here by providing a sampling of what each has to offer.” Giro organizer Carrie Panek, looking to enhance the fun of the “world’s toughest gourmet walk,” conducts a raffle and awards prizes to individuals and teams in two categories. “It’s a non-competitive 5K, but we like to keep it interesting,” says Panek. “There are awards for the top fundraising team, best individual costume, and best team theme costume. “Fundraising is important to us, so we encourage people to register today, form a fundraising team, and start soliciting donations.” The Giro di San Diego Gran Fondo San Diego is a two-day
event celebrating cycling, food and San Diego’s North Coast. It features three mass-start road cycling routes, two mountain bike routes, a two-day Bike & Fitness Expo, and the Solana Beach Super Tasty 5K Restaurant Walk. Promises2Kids, founded in 1981 and formerly known as the Child Abuse Prevention Foundation, assists roughly 5,000 foster children yearly through programs including The Polinsky Center, Camp Connect, Guardian Scholars, and Foster Funds. Tonya Torosian, chief executive officer of Promises2Kids, applauds the efforts of Panek and the Solana Beach Chamber of Commerce, saying, “There are over 3,000 children in foster care in our county. I am thrilled to partner again with the Super Tasty 5K to raise awareness and support for them.” The Giro di San Diego Gran Fondo will donate $5 of every registration, along with 100 percent of all online donations and other funds raised by participants, to Promises2Kids. Until Aug. 23, registration for the Super Tasty 5K is $35 for adults and $20 for kids. Family packages are $90 and group registration is $35 per member. Included are: an event T-shirt, food passport, and samples from participating restaurants. Find information and a link to registration for the Super Tasty 5K and other Giro di San Diego events at www.SuperTasty5k.com. For more about Promises2Kids, visit www.promises2kids.org.
Teams are encouraged to have fun with costumes for the Super Tasty 5K.
Rancho Coastal Humane Society top-rated by Charity Navigator A “four-star” ranking — the highest possible — has been awarded to Rancho Coastal Humane Society in Encinitas by Charity Navigator, an independent nonprofit that evaluates charities in the United States. Out of a possible total of 70 points, Rancho Coastal Humane Society received 68.68. “On behalf of Charity Navigator, I wish to congratulate Rancho Coastal Humane So-
ciety on achieving our coveted four-star rating for sound fiscal management and commitment to accountability and transparency,” said Ken Berger, president and chief executive officer of Charity Navigator. RCHS President Jim Silveira says that a four-star rating from Charity Navigator is reassurance for Rancho Coastal Humane Society supporters. “Americans are flooded with requests for donations. Some are worthy. Some are
phony. Others don’t make good use of your donations,” he said. “We encourage anyone considering a donation to Rancho Coastal Humane Society to visit the shelter. Take a tour, see what we do, and ask questions. We believe that, with benevolence comes responsibility. It’s not enough just to give. It’s also important to know how your donations will be used to help others.” Charity Navigator points out that “savvy donors are demanding more accountabil-
ity, transparency, and quantifiable results from the charities they choose to support with their hard-earned dollars.” According to Berger, “Our goal in all of this is to provide donors with essential information needed to give them greater confidence in the charitable choices they make.” For more information, visit the shelter at 389 Requeza St. in Encinitas, call 760-7536413, or visit www.sdpets.org.

It’s Beatles vs. Stones at Belly Up on Aug. 22 The debate over the Beatles vs. the Rolling Stones has been going on ever since they first crossed paths on the charts 50 years ago. The argument at the time, and that persists, is that the Beatles were a pop group and the Stones were a rock band: the boys next door vs. the bad boys of rock. So who’s better? Tribute bands Abbey Road and Jumping Jack Flash will engage in an onstage throwdown — a musical “shoot-out,” if you will — between the two bands’ sounds at 9 p.m. Friday, Aug. 22, at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach. Tickets are $16 and may be purchased online at www.bellyup.com or by calling the box office at 858-481-8140. The Belly Up is at 143 S. Cedros in Solana Beach 92075. The show is 21+.

Operation Game On Golf Classic The seventh annual Operation Game On Golf Classic was held Aug. 11 at Morgan Run Club & Resort in Rancho Santa Fe. About $130,000 was raised during the event, which included a Presentation of Colors, shotgun play, awards, dinner buffet and raffle. “The whole community jumped in on this,” said Tony Perez, founder and president of Operation Game On, a nonprofit organization that builds confidence in injured troops one swing at a time, using golf as a form of mental, emotional and physical therapy. “They were blown away by the passion of our organization.” During the event, Operation Game On announced it is in discussion with a major partner to hold a fundraiser in Scottsdale, Ariz. Perez’s son, PGA Tour player Pat Perez, will host the event sometime in November to honor veterans for Veterans Day. “It will be an annual event,” Perez said. Operation Game On works in partnership with the Naval Medical Center San Diego and Wounded Warrior Battalion West, Camp Pendleton to equip and instruct hundreds of injured troops and their spouses for a game that lasts a lifetime. “It’s unfortunate because we have a lot of troops who came back injured,” Perez said. “I created this to give them an outlet to get them back to a somewhat normal life through golf.” The organization was founded in 2008 with four combat-injured troops. Since then, more than 350 troops have participated in the program. For more, visit www.operationgameon. org, email pgapop@gmail.com or call 858832-1836. Photos by Jon Clark.

SPONSORED COLUMNS MICHAEL PINES Accident & Injury Legal Advice 858.551.2090
Ford 2013 Escape Recall Information: Consumer Info & Recommended Steps Owners of the latest 2013 Ford Escape crossovers are urged to take the next steps to prevent accident and injury following the automaker’s latest recall. According to New York Times, Ford is recalling about 140,000 vehicles in the United States because of a potential fire hazard. The manufacturer has indicated the Escape’s 1.6-liter EcoBoost 4-cylinder engine may be to blame for 13 recent auto fires that prompted the recall. Other export markets including Canada may also be affected. According to Ford spokeswoman Kelli Felker, an additional 21,000 cars are being recalled internationally in addition to the recall in the U.S. Ford explained the recall was voluntarily
issued due to concerns over cracks in the engine during possible overheating of the cylinder head. Cracking could lead to leaked oil and a possible fire in the presence of highheat surfaces. Although no personal injury has been reported, 13 vehicles were ignited into flames after suspected cracking within the engine components. Ford aims to fix the problem by enhancing “the engine shielding, cooling and control systems.” Owners of all 2013 Ford Escapes are urged to visit an authorized dealer to inquire on recall repairs. According the auto manufacturer’s site, some 9,500 of its 2013 Escapes thought to have undergone repair may still produce fuel leaks which could pose a fire hazard. An additional 2,300 vehicles in Canadian and export markets are additionally recalled. More information on the recall can be found here. NEXT STEPS: STAY SAFE & FOLLOW UP ON RECALL REPAIRS IMMEDIATELY Ford says the recall is voluntary, but that’s not to be confused with voluntary repair. In this sense, Ford’s voluntary recall means
the company was not forced by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to issue the recall. All consumers, however, should know that recall repairs are urged to be completed as soon as possible and are therefore not voluntary. To ensure your safety, please make sure to: 1. Contact Ford Immediately If you’re at all unsure whether your vehicle is affected, call Ford at 1-866-436-7332 and provide your Vehicle Identification Number to receive more information. Alternatively, Ford owners can log onto http://FordOwner. com or by clicking here to find recall information. 2. Schedule Repairs To avoid any risk of fires, you must complete your repairs as quickly as possible. Most authorized Ford dealerships or repair stations will complete your recall repair free of charge. It’s important to contact Ford to find out which locations can service your vehicle for free. 3. Report Any Additional Problems Consumers should notify the auto manufacturer when any additional problems arise. Even if the issue is small – say, loose
hubcaps or a trunk that won’t stay shut – it’s important to report the malfunction right away. Lives are saved when consumers are proactive. 4. Register Your Vehicle for Future Recalls Owners of Ford vehicles and all other manufacturers are urged to register their vehicles and other commonly used household items, equipment or machinery at Recalls.gov. Benefits of registering include quick notification in the event of new or additional recalls, ongoing updates and any additional information pertaining to relevant recalls. Consumers can even register to receive recall information about foods, medicines, toys, furniture, personal care, cosmetics and other consumer products.

about the birds and the plants. The training is just a really fun class. I took it a second year to learn even more.” The eight-week training course covers the history and ecology of San Elijo Lagoon. Docent training also offers practical interpretive techniques and tips on how to lead groups of students and adults. “Now we keep a pair of binoculars nearby, and we can easily identify many of the plants and birds in the lagoon,” said Norma Chodos. “This has opened up a whole new world for us.” About 4,000 students and adults of all ages visited San Elijo Lagoon last year to participate in school and public programs, which include academic field trips, family days and nature walks. The San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy is recruiting
new volunteers to lead guided walks and field trips, and help raise awareness about the wetlands. There are 15 openings for docents. The Chodos and Stoffel encouraged those interested in volunteering to apply online at www.sanelijo.org/docent-training. “It’s important to teach the kids,” said Norma Chodos. “Maybe they’ll go home and teach their parents, and they’ll become more aware of how important it is to keep the wetlands. It opens their eyes to nature.” “It’s very rewarding,” added Stoffel. “You get as much out of it as you give.” Training is held 9 a.m. to noon Tuesday mornings, as well as two Saturday mornings, Sept. 30 through Dec. 2 at San Elijo Lagoon Nature Center, 2710 Manchester Ave., Cardiff-by-theSea. For details, call 760436-3944, ext. 702, or visit www.sanelijo.org.

Membership soars in Picky Eatersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Club The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN As back-to-school approaches, parents need some gustatory coaching so their children will be fueled, focused and nourished for the long school day. Here are some tips to keep you sane and your kids happily satiated. Budding Taste Buds According to Dr. Alan Hirsch, a Chicago neurologist and founder of the Smell & Taste Treatment and Research Foundation, children have a much more refined sense of smell than adults. This translates to a heightened sense of taste,
along with an ability to detect underlying flavors that go unnoticed by adults. From birth onwards, we lose 1 percent of our olfactory nerves every year, Hirsch said. In addition, not all taste buds are created equal. They are clustered on the bumpy papillae of the tongue (10,000 in childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mouths), about half that for adults, accounting for the increased tolerance of flavors as we get older. As well, the greater density of taste buds has been tied to the predisposition of sugar among children, which seems to be outgrown by teenage taste buds. Pediatric studies have also shown that children dislike bitter tastes, which in part explains their repulsion to some vegetables like the â&#x20AC;&#x153;stinkyâ&#x20AC;? crucifers and acrid lettuces, especially endive and arugula. By understanding these differences we need to adopt a compassion and understanding for the youthful palate and preferences, and govern food choices accordingly. Foods for Focus & Fuel Certain foods can dial

up attention by keeping brain cells on their toes, so amp up omega-3 fatty acid blockbusters like wild salmon fish sticks, crab cake sliders and fish tacos. Nuts and nut butters, especially walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts, sunflower and pumpkin seeds get an A+ for their brain-boosting, plant-based omega-3â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Walnuts have also been found to hike melatonin levels, one of the sleep-regulating hormones in the body. Munch on these soporific treats as a bedtime snack to be well rested in the a.m. A purple powerhouse, blueberries are packed with antioxidant pigments and phytochemicals for recharging memory and cognitive processing. Toss them in muffins, quick breads, bars, or eat them straight up. Refreshing mint has been linked to greater concentration and the ability to recall information. Before a quiz, kids should sip a cool swig of mint-infused H2O to boost test scores. Also pack foods to fuel their engines like beans, legumes or hummus loaded
with protein, iron, magnesium and selenium. Avocados can be cleverly disguised as guacamole â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a load of Vitamin C and potassium. Eggs, a great protein-Vitamin B12 source are all theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re cracked up to be whether devilled, fried in a hole, baked in avocados, done as southwest breakfast burritos or as mini frittata sliders. Think Outside the Lunchbox Do Bento-style boxes with compartmentalized sections to house everything from real or faux sushi pinwheels with nut butters or cheeses to Crayola colorful carrot curls, marinated cucumber spears, seasoned jicama sticks, confetti fruit salad and creamy yogurt dip, a natural probiotic that promotes intestinal health. Have your kids be the sous chefs and fill the containers with their faves. Plant a garden in your yard or patio and have them pick fresh organic herbs or vegetables to include in their lunches. Provide them with a fun lesson on nutrition, farm to table ethos and sustainability. Try to incorporate an assortment of vegetables into their favorite treats â&#x20AC;&#x201C; red and golden beets shred-
ded into brownies, or carrots, zucchini and sweet potatoes in quick breads, muffins, puddings and bars. Finally, let kids help with a menu plan using ethnic themes for different days of the week. On Mediterranean Mondays do pita and hummus with a Greek salad, an Italian feast on Tuesdays with foccacia piz-
zas, and a Mexican fiesta of veggie quesadillas and guacamole on Wednesdays. Have a yen for Asian on Thursdays with a Chinese chicken salad and chocolate dipped fortune cookie, while on Yankee Doodle Fridays pack an almond butter and jam sandwich.
