Ag. District settles Sierra Club lawsuit BY JOE TASH A lawsuit filed by the local chapter of the Sierra Club against the state agency that runs the Del Mar Fairgrounds has been settled, officials announced Tuesday, May 7. The club sued the 22nd District Agricultural Association over potential environmental impacts from a master plan for the fairgrounds approved by the district in 2011. Another lawsuit involving the master plan, filed by the cities of Solana Beach and Del Mar and the San Dieguito River Park Joint Powers Authority, was settled in November. “The good news today is all the litigation related to the master plan is over,” said 22nd DAA board member David Watson at the May 7 meeting. Under the settlement, the district will conduct further analysis of several issues, including traffic, greenhouse gases and water supply, as a judge had ordered in an earlier ruling on the case. The settlement means the district has resolved all pending litigation against it. District officials have said the first element of the master plan that they plan to address is replacement of the fairgrounds’ aging exhibit halls.

BY JOE TASH In a bid to help struggling businesses in Del Mar’s downtown village area, the Del Mar City Council on Monday, May 6, voted to establish a new advisory committee to come up with ideas to make the city more business friendly. The idea of a committee that would look for ways to eliminate red tape and make it easier for businesses to locate in Del Mar or upgrade their facilities was proposed last month by Mayor Terry Sinnott and Councilman Al Corti. The council voted unanimously, with members Sherryl Parks and Don Mosier absent, to approve the formation of an 11-member committee that would be composed of representatives

of different types of businesses and property owners. The new committee’s mission, also approved by the council, will be to discuss and provide advice to the City Council on the challenges facing Del Mar Businesses. In particular, the committee will focus on city processes and regulations with the goal of making the city as business-friendly as possible. A staff report said the intention is not for the new committee to duplicate efforts of the Del Mar Village Association (DMVA), which focuses on marketing, promotion, events and economic improvement. “This is to complement the DMVA and what’s already taking place,” said SinSee COMMITTEE, Page 7

Perceived threat results in extra security for elephant rides at this year’s Fair BY JOE TASH Extra security and surveillance will be in place at the elephant rides at this year’s San Diego County Fair, after a member of the fair’s governing board reported what he perceived as a threat conveyed by a local attorney. The elephant rides, which have been an attraction at the fair for the past 30 years, have become controversial in recent years. In 2011, following a two-hour hearing with testimony on both sides of the issue, the

board of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which oversees the state-owned Del Mar fairgrounds, voted 4-3 to continue the rides, but to consider cancelling them after the 2014 fair. Elephant ride opponents spoke again at the 22nd DAA’s March meeting, when the contract with Have Trunk Will Travel, which operates the elephant rides, came up for renewal. The board voted unanimously to approve the contract for this year’s fair, which begins on June 8.

Concerns about a possible threat arose after a meeting in April between 22nd DAA board member Fred Schenk, and two local attorneys, Howard Finkelstein and his law partner, Jeffrey Krinsk. At the Tuesday, May 7 22nd DAA board meeting, Schenk said he was told by Finkelstein that if the board did not cancel the elephant rides and something happened, Schenk, the fair board and the goverSee ELEPHANT, Page 7

Del Mar approves permit fee for mobile food trucks BY JOE TASH The City Council approved a new permit fee of $350 for the first year, and a $175 annual renewal fee, for food trucks that operate in the city of Del Mar. The permit is part of new regulations on food trucks that were approved by the council last month. City staff said the fees are designed to cover the costs of processing the permits, which have been estimated to take about 5.25

hours of staff time. The ordinance regulates four types of mobile food vending: private property event; public right-of-way vending; non-profit event; and private catering event with more than one truck. The new regulations outline where and during what hours the trucks can operate, and require that operators have both a city permit and a county health permit, among other provisions.

Del Mar City Council briefs; May 6 meeting Del Mar trash fees to increase BY JOE TASH Trash fees charged to Del Mar residents and businesses under a franchise agreement with Coast Waste Management will increase by 1.6 to 1.7 percent as of July 1. The City Council voted 3-0 for the increase, with members Sherryl Parks and Don Mosier absent, at its Monday, May 6 meeting. The franchise agreement allows the fee to be adjusted each year based on the Consumer Price Index, according to a staff report. The monthly fee for residents with a 96-gallon container will increase from $21 to $21.35, and the fee for a 64-gallon container will rise from $18.91 to $19.23. The city receives about $100,000 per year in franchise fees, which will rise by a similar percentage.

Results of energy survey reported BY JOE TASH The San Diego Association of Governments, or SANDAG, outlined an “Energy Roadmap” it prepared for the city of Del Mar at the Monday, May 6, City Council meeting. The report noted that the city could save $4,300 per year on its energy bill if it made certain upgrades at city facilities, including changes in both indoor and outdoor lighting, installation of programmable thermostats and adding skylights at City Hall. Overall, the city got positive marks. “The preliminary energy assessments indicate that most Del Mar municipal sites are performing more efficiently than comparable buildings in California and the nation,” said the report. The city could pay for energy saving upgrades through zero-interest loans on its utility bills through an SDG&E program, the report said.

Carmel Del Mar student a State Finalist in National American Miss California Pageant

Solana Pacific students give highest elementary school donation to Leukemia & Lymphoma Society The students of Solana Pacific Elementary School in Carmel Valley recently held a fundraising drive for cancer research. Students raised $5,795 for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, the largest donation from any elementary school in San Diego County. Above, Solana Pacific Student Council members pose with their donation check to the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Carmel Del Mar Elementary School student Bailey Grennan, 8, has been selected as a State Finalist in the National American Miss California Junior Pre-Teen Pageant. The pageant will be held from June 27-29 at the Hilton in Costa Mesa, Calif. The National American Miss pageants are held for girls ages 4-18, and have five different age divisions. Bailey will be participating in the 7-9 age division, along with other contestants from California. The winner of the pageant will receive a $1,000 cash award, the official crown and banner, a bouquet of roses and air transportation to compete in the National Pageant in California where she will receive a complimentary tour of Hollywood and two VIP tickets to Disneyland.

Canyon Crest Academy senior named Rady Children’s Hospital ‘Junior Volunteer of the Year’ BY KAREN BILLING The driven and compassionate Carmel Valley teenager Alanna DePinto has been named the Rady Children’s Hospital Junior Volunteer of the Year. Alanna, 17, has been volunteering at Rady Children’s Hospital for the past three and a half years in the Gateways program, a speech therapy group for children with autism. She was surprised by the honor at an April 25 ceremony at the Doubletree hotel in Mission Valley. “It’s been such an eye-opening experience to work with kids who have autism and developmental disorders,” Alanna said. “It’s changed my perspective on life.” Melissa Sartori, a speech pathologist who has worked alongside Alanna for the last three and a half years, said that Alanna’s intelligence, charisma and drive helped her excel at supporting a very busy group of children. “Her dynamic personality makes her a favorite among many of the children,” said Sartori at the awards ceremony. “The children love working with her and greet her each week with excitement and enthusiasm and our whole department staff appreciates her positive attitude, her strong work ethic and her smile every week.” Alanna, a senior at Canyon Crest Academy, has always loved working with kids. Four years ago she was looking for a way to stay busy during the summer as she was too young to work so Alanna and her friend, Kelsey O’Neill, started a summer camp for children called Fun Diego. They decided to donate a portion of the proceeds from their camp to Rady Children’s Hospital. As they learned more about the hospital, they also wanted to give back in some way but they had to be 14 before they could begin volunteer work so they bided their time until they met the age requirement and applied to be volunteers as soon as they could. Their camp ran for four summers. Since being accepted as a volunteer at Rady’s, Alanna has spent two hours every Monday for the last three and a half years with the Gateway group. Alongside staff, she works with a group of four children ages 4 to 6 with varying levels of autism. They do pretend play to aid in their social development, read and act out stories.

CCA’s Alanna DePinto (center) was named the Rady Children’s Hospital Junior Volunteer of the Year. (Left) Melissa Sartori and (right) Shari Garrett. Sartori said that Alanna really knows how to connect with the children on their unique levels. “She helps them learn how to use their imaginations, discover their creativity, broaden their language development, have fun and, of course, be successful,” Sartori said. Alanna admits that she wasn’t sure what to expect when she first started working with the group, thinking that it might be very hard or even very sad. But she found she learns so much from the children all the time and that she is able to foster wonderful relationships with them. “I went in with a mentality that it was going to be very difficult to work with autistic kids but I have really emerged with a different understanding. It has been so rewarding and I am so lucky to work with them,” said Alanna of the kids

she finds so funny and genuine. She has also been incredibly inspired by the speech pathologists that put in so much work every week to ensure that the children thrive. Once the children have progressed they move on to the next group so Alanna has experienced a lot of success as the children develop and move on. “It’s amazing to see so many kids progress and feel like we’re able to make a difference and help,” Alanna said. “She has really gotten a lot from the therapists, they are really incredible women,” said mom Tricia. “It’s been a wonderful experience for Alanna…it’s been interesting to watch her progress and figure out what she wants to do with her life.” In addition to her volunteer time at Rady’s, Alanna also volunteers as a tutor for Casa de Amistad in Solana Beach on Tuesday afternoons. She works one on one with a second grader who is really passionate about reading and school, and Alanna is enjoying building a relationship with her. On top of all those volunteer hours, Alanna also works at Golden Spoon and plays the piano. An excellent student, Alanna will attend Loyola Marymount University in the fall on a full-ride academic scholarship. Alanna had been considering majoring in psychology in college but now she knows for certain that she would like to work with children who have developmental disorders. At LMU she will double major in biology and psychology and then plans to go into pre-med with designs on becoming a developmental-behavioral pediatrician. Until she leaves for LMU, Alanna will continue to volunteer at Rady’s. She admits it will be hard to leave the kids and the program, but knows that her future is full of opportunities and possibilities — one of the main reasons why she picked LMU is its strong volunteer and service programs. Alanna said she is very grateful for the time she has spent at Rady’s. “It was so important for me to develop relationships with those kids, it’s broadened my perspective and has been an amazing experience and part of my life. I really feel like it shaped me and my goals for the future,” Alanna said.

What’s the place in Carmel Valley? “ I’ve lived in Carmel Valley for 12 years. Love it here. I’d love it even more if we could have our own hub instead of having to run down to UTC or up to Cedros for certain kinds of experiences. It’s deﬁnitely time.”

You know, the one place that everyone agrees is where the style, the scene, the civic pride is. Where’s our Cedros, Del Mar Village or Little Italy? If nothing special comes to mind, perhaps it should. Maybe it’s time for Carmel Valley to have a place as signiﬁcant, as sophisticated, as engaging as the community itself. If you agree, it’s time to seize the opportunity – to create a signature destination for

Education Matters/Opinion More Solana Beach — and an update on the high school superintendent search BY MARSHA SUTTON T h e normally dormant S o l a n a B e a c h School District sudd e n l y Marsha Sutton roared to life with an explosive issue that attracted over 100 people to the April 25 school board meeting. As discussed in last week’s column, the proposal to change kindergarten in the Global Education program at Skyline School in Solana Beach from a modified day to a full day by adding nearly two hours of afternoon instructional time brought passionate defenders of the status quo to the boardroom to express their disapproval. We shall see how this issue is resolved in the coming months. But this was not the reason I attended that board

meeting. I hadn’t attended an SBSD meeting in years, because the district’s agendas are, frankly, rather dull. This time, however, the agenda for the meeting on April 25, which did not include the kindergarten issue (the protest was a surprise), promised a few interesting items, including school boundary changes, grade configuration shifts and big expenses. Caroline Brown, SBSD’s director of technology and new facilities, told the board that construction of the new school, Solana Ranch School in Pacific Highlands Ranch, is on schedule to open in the fall of 2014 for a projected 431 students in grades kindergarten through sixth. In preparation for the opening of the new school, attendance boundaries, not updated since 2004 when Solana Pacific School opened, were on the agenda. The district recommended that attendance ar-

eas be shifted from Solana Vista and Skyline schools in Solana Beach, to Solana Santa Fe School in Fairbanks Ranch, for residents in Rancho Pacifica, also known as Del Mar Highland Estates, and for the Polo Club and Morgan Run developments in Whispering Palms. This change would take effect this fall. The second boundary recommendation would assign residents of the Pacific Highlands Ranch communities to the new Solana Ranch School in the fall of 2014. Those neighborhoods include: Santa Barbara, Portico, Manzanita Trail, Santa Rosa, Arrabella, Crossing, Watermark, Hampton Lane and Bridgewater. Students in grades K-6 from these developments currently number 365 and attend Solana Highlands, Carmel Creek or Solana Pacific in Carmel Valley. The board expressed some concern about residents in the Santa Barbara development, as it is located farther west than the others, and suggested the district poll the community for residents’ thoughts. The school board will vote on boundary changes in June. Changes for Solana Pacific With the opening of Solana Ranch School in 2014, the district is also recommending that Solana Pacific School, located on Townsgate Drive in Carmel Valley, expand from a grades 5-6 school to grades 4-6. The change, proposed for 2014, would make the grades K-4 Solana Highlands and Carmel Creek schools into grades K-3 schools, which board member Debra Schade said was a good configuration. Board member Julie Union said making Solana Pacific a grades 4-6 school would be more consistent with other schools in the district, and “parents would be more invested.” The capacity of Solana Pacific, Brown said, was 864 students, so it is being under-utilized with a current enrollment of 522 students. The school will lose an estimated 140 students when Solana Ranch opens in 2014. “It’s a spacious school,” Brown said. “It would be nice to put kids in there.” According to the board report, when Solana Ranch opens, about 431 students will move there from the three Carmel Valley schools. Without changing grade

configurations in 2014, enrollment projections indicate there would be 452 students at Solana Highlands in grade K-4, 460 students at Carmel Creek in grades K-4, and 383 students at Solana Pacific in grades 5-6. Moving both fourth grades to Solana Pacific would reduce enrollment at Solana Highlands and Carmel Creek by about 100 students each and would add those 200 students to Solana Pacific. Brown also said the One Paseo project in Carmel Valley has the potential to add 120 students to Solana Beach schools. Brown said 10 classrooms at Solana Pacific would be available for incoming fourth-graders, and the change would open space for other programs at the two K-3 sites. This discussion at the April 25 meeting was for information only. The board will vote on the matter at its June board meeting. “We just wanted to start the conversation,” said SBSD superintendent Nancy Lynch. Big money Law enforcement, consultants, city of San Diego staff and district personnel recently reviewed all six SBSD schools for proper levels of safety and security, and made specific recommendations. Providing window coverings, for an estimated $50,000 to $60,000, would improve safety during lockdown procedures by ensuring that intruders can’t see into classrooms, Brown said. Window coverings also protect property at night and will help deter thefts, which have plagued local schools in recent months. Lynch recommended approval, saying, “This would be money well spent.” The safety recommendations also included fencing. Brown said some sites are missing pieces of fencing, especially Skyline School in Solana Beach. The estimated fiscal impact for securing all school sites was $150,000 to $200,000, but Brown said the cost may be up to 50 percent less. Also, where fencing is shared between the district and the city of San Diego, the city will reimburse the district for half the cost. A restroom repair at Solana Highlands School near the fields is estimated to cost $50,000 to $80,000, but the city of San Diego will reimburse the district for half the

cost because the restroom is maintained under a jointuse agreement between the two entities. And lastly, as part of the district’s ongoing Technology Replacement Plan, upgrades and increased capacity are necessary to accommodate growing network requirements district-wide, according to the board report. Brown said the equipment is not supported by vendors any longer, and it’s an endof-life issue. The network infrastructure upgrades and hardware replacement are estimated to run $250,000, and the project will be completed this summer. All four items were approved by the school board unanimously and will now go out to bid. Brown said money has been set aside in a separate fund for all the projects. New local school leaders May 13 is a big day for administrative announcements. Brian McBride, longtime Solana Beach principal who has headed Solana Pacific School since it opened in 2004, is retiring this year. Lynch said the district received 59 applications for the post, has held six interviews and expects to announce the new principal May 13. Also on May 13, San Dieguito Union High School District’s Board of Education will announce its choice to replace retiring superintendent Ken Noah. SDUHSD board president Barbara Groth said the deadline passed, and in closed session on May 1 the board reviewed 16 applications. That was the board’s first opportunity, she said, to see “who’s out there and who’s interested and what their qualities are.” The board narrowed down the applicants to three, to interview May 8. She wouldn’t say if there were any internal candidates. Groth said $26,000 was paid to the search firm Leadership Associates, and the open position was heavily advertised. “I’m pretty confident they got a wide net out there,” she said. The search firm’s agreement stipulates no additional charge if the person selected leaves within one year, she said. After the interviews on May 8, Groth said the selection is made. “We make it that day as a board,” she

said. “We deliberate and make it.” But the announcement doesn’t happen then. She said on May 13 board members will visit the home district of the selected candidate, “just to validate.” She said all five board members are prepared to travel, along with the heads of both the classified and certificated unions. The board will announce its decision after the visit. “We want to do this as soon as possible because people are on pins and needles,” Groth said. San Diego Unified, less than 24 hours after superintendent Bill Kowba announced his retirement, plucked elementary school principal Cindy Marten out from relative obscurity and named her to replace Kowba, without any community input – a move that shocked education leaders nationwide. In contrast, the much smaller San Dieguito district recently concluded a lengthy period of community input and received nearly 100 comments, Groth said. “We want this to be inclusive because we’re all going to be involved and working together,” she said. Besides the usual comments about wanting someone competent with proven leadership and listening skills, Groth said the exercise allowed constituents representing many different groups to express their thoughts on what the district could do to improve. “This is a self-evaluation opportunity as far as I’m concerned,” she said. She said the board is paying attention to comments that indicate direction, weakness and what needs work. “There’s always nuances,” she said. “It’s subtle but it comes through.” “It’s a great opportunity to ask people what do they think, what they’re looking for and how the district is being run,” she said. The search firm brought together varied community and school district groups to discuss the direction of the district and its leadership. Groth said those focus groups included council members of neighboring cities, board members from feeder elementary school districts, parents, site councils, principals, classified staff, certificated staff, public focus forums and other groups.

ELEPHANT continued from page 1 nor would be held accountable. “He was in my view reporting a potential risk to fair-goers,” Schenk said at Tuesday’s board meeting. After the meeting with Finkelstein, Schenk said, he reported the incident to fellow board members, and also called the governor’s office inform them what had happened. Members of the 22nd DAA board are appointed by the governor. Finkelstein, who did not attend the 22nd DAA board meeting, confirmed that he met with Schenk, with the purpose of informing him about information that had surfaced regarding the treatment of elephants at Have Trunk Will Travel’s Riverside County training facility. Several years ago, an undercover video shot at the compound allegedly showed trainers abusing elephants with heavy metal hooks and electric shocks. Company officials, however, have repeatedly denied harming elephants in any way, and said that investigations by government agencies have not found any wrong-doing. Finkelstein, who said he is involved in animal welfare issues, denied threatening Schenk. He said he commented that it would be horrible if something did happen involving the ele-

May 9, 2013 phant rides, but insisted he has no knowledge anyone planning to disrupt or interfere with the rides. “If he took that as a threat, I apologize. I didn’t threaten him. I didn’t mean it as a threat,” Finkelstein said. Finkelstein did say that he believes the rides are “arcane, antiquated and obviously dangerous,” simply because children should not be placed on top of a twoton elephant. Finkelstein said Schenk may be trying to discredit him to cover up what Schenk reportedly said at the lunch meeting was the real reason the board voted in March to approve the contract with Have Trunk Will Travel. In an email that has been widely circulated, Finkelstein wrote that at the lunch, “Fred explained that the reason that the board can’t ban these rides is because it might lead to the discovery of the much more serious abuse of the horses by the trainers and jockeys at the Del Mar Race Track, which provides millions of dollars in revenue to the county.” After Tuesday’s 22nd DAA board meeting, Schenk denied Finkelstein’s characterization of his comments. Schenk said he did tell Finkelstein that although the Los Angeles and Orange County fairs banned elephant rides, San Diego is dif-

ferent because it has thoroughbred racing, and there are people opposed to the sport of horse racing. A board vote against elephant rides could be seen as a precedent for horse-racing opponents, Schenk said. In his role as a 22nd DAA board member, Schenk said, he is well aware that horse racing revenue goes to the state, and not the county, which he said also casts doubt on Finkelstein’s version of their conversation. Schenk said he believes the San Diego County Fair’s elephant rides will likely be phased out after September 2014, when new guidelines are expected from the Association of Zoos and Aquariums restricting contact between humans and elephants. Due to the perceived threat reported by Schenk, security officers were posted at the 22nd DAA meeting on Tuesday, and Schenk said the district also plans to beef up security and surveillance at the elephant rides during this year’s fair.

COMMITTEE continued from page 1 nott. A number of merchants and business supporters Monday urged the council to move forward with the committee, contending that downtown businesses need the city’s help. “There needs to be a sense of urgency… we’re at the brink,” said Daniel Schreiber, manager and co-owner of the Rendezvous restaurant. “Things are not fine,” said former Del Mar Mayor Richard Earnest. “Somehow we need to break the cycle.” Jen Grove, executive director of the DMVA, said, “This is a time for us to work together. We need to stay strong and steady behind our business community.” In a memo last month, Sinnott and Corti noted that Del Mar faces a range of current and future competition, from the recently renovated Flower Hill mall, to plans for the One Paseo mixed-use development in Carmel Valley. Larger economic issues also make it tough for downtown businesses to thrive, the memo said. According to statistics

contained in the memo, in 2003, sales tax represented 24 percent of city revenues, which dropped to 18.7 percent in 2012. By 2045, the memo projected, sales tax will make up just 7.6 percent of city revenue. Sales tax revenue was projected to decline slightly this year, to just under $1.5 million. The city’s rules and regulations may be part of the problem, the memo said. “We get strong feedback that Del Mar does not support downtown businesses.” The committee, as proposed, would include two restaurant owners, two retail

DM resident provides life-changing experiences through custom safaris Aardvark Safaris Ltd. owner has visited Africa 40 to 50 times BY JOE TASH John Spence had tried running a restaurant, working in a ski resort and tending bar before he tagged along with some friends he met in Cape Town, South Africa, to visit Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe. He soon landed a job as a white-water rafting guide on the Zambezi River, and on his days off, traveled to nearby wildlife reserves to look for lions and other exotic creatures. “That’s where I fell in love with the whole safari thing,” said Spence, 44, who now lives in Del Mar with his wife, Emma, and the couple’s two children, Jack and Lily. “I’m very lucky. Twenty years later and I’m still doing the dream.” The dream is running a safari company with offices in Solana Beach, England and Scotland. Working with a variety of tour operators, lodges and other agencies across 14 countries in Southern Africa, Spence’s company, Aardvark Safaris Ltd., arranges custom safari trips for his clients. After his stint as a rafting guide, Spence returned to his native England, where he was hired by a fledgling safari tour company. He spent seven years shuttling back and forth to Africa,

Rancho Santa Fe took their extended family on a trip to Kenya last summer to celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. The group of 16 relatives included three generations, from grandchildren as young as 8 to adults in their 70s. Part of the time, the group traveled on foot between camps — with camels to carry their gear — and they visited villages, where their children played soccer with local children. They also witnessed close-up the annual animal migration in Kenya, watching as the plains were covered with wildebeest, zebra and other animals as far as the eye could see, said Patty Queen. They even saw a cheetah making a kill and feeding her cubs. “You can’t explain it to anybody, you have to see it for yourself,” she said. “It was the trip of a lifetime.” Another client, Susan Storti of Del Mar, traveled last fall with her husband, Bob Hajek, to South Africa, Botswana and Zambia. She said she was impressed by Spence’s connections in Af-

Storti and her husband opted to stay in upscale lodges rather than camp, traveling by bush planes that landed on dirt airstrips in remote regions. From there, they were met by jeeps sent by the game lodges. On safaris, they rarely encountered other tourists, she said. “It was a real, true African adventure,” she said, describing Botswana as “Africa’s last Eden.” Over the years, Spence

has set up trips for families and people of all ages, even making special accommodations for people whose mobility is impaired due to cancer or other conditions. Traveling to Africa isn’t cheap, although Spence said he and his staff are sensitive to clients’ budgets. An average safari trip of two weeks runs about $10,000 per person, plus air fare of between $2,000 and $2,500, he said. The minimum for a shorter trip, depending on the destination, is about $5,000 per person, he said. But people find the experience life-changing, he said. “The wow factor is off the charts,” Spence said.

Best-selling authors/motivational speakers come together for event in ‘spiritual capital of the world’ BY CLAIRE HARLIN They’ve been called thought leaders, visionaries, luminaries and experts in meditation, among other titles. They are both New York Times bestselling authors who rose to popularity with their concepts regarding happiness, life purpose and spiritual transformation. And on April 25, the two iconic figures — Deepak Chopra and Eckhart Tolle — came together for the first time to collaborate in sharing thoughts with an eager North County audience at the Chopra Center as part of its signature “Seduction of Spirit” retreat at the La Costa Resort & Spa. And the estimated 1,400 eager fans who attended the evening discussion, which was broadcast on Eckhart Tolle TV and is downloadable at www. eckharttolletv.com, were in for a surprise, many rushing toward the stage to snap a picture, when Chopra introduced Wayne Dyer, a last-minute guest whom Tolle had run into and invited the previous night at a restaurant. Dyer, a longtime motivational guru and author of more than 30 books, joined Tolle and Chopra in somewhat of a conversational encore. Serendipitous as the surprise guest’s inclusion that night may seem, Chopra Center spokeswoman Dallas Brown said such beautiful moments are typical of North County, San Diego — the “sweet spot of

the Universe” she called the area. And she said that the Chopra Center could have relocated anywhere when it moved from La Jolla about a decade ago, however, Chopra landed the center in southeast Carlsbad for a reason — the same reason the India native, who resides in La Jolla, decided to build his life in North County as well. “It’s often been called the spiritual capital of the world,” said Brown, adding that most of the center’s staff also populate the area. “It’s kind of a phenomenon as to why … There’s such a great environment and climate here. People want to be inspired by their surroundings and they want to be in a place that allows for conscious living.” The Chopra Center is a global resource that brings in visitors and retreat guests from all over the world to experience the peace that comes from the aesthetic beauty of North County, as well as the welcoming environment built by the many other like-minded individuals who have established themselves in this “spiritual hub,” as she called it. But that doesn’t mean the center — which dedicates itself to teaching yoga, promoting wellness and leading transformation — forgets about the locals who support, volunteer and regularly attended the meditative-focused yoga classes.

“Most people live their lives knowing themselves based on a physical and psychological sense of self,” said Tolle, who is most known for his book, “The Power of Now.” “But who we are was already there and was completely overlooked.” He said the process of un-

Deepak Chopra and Eckhart Tolle “We love to bring in people from all over the world,” Brown said. “But it’s a big county and we have people right here in San Diego County who don’t get to have these types of experiences every day.” In bringing in Tolle to collaborate in discussion, Chopra — a 65-time author — said he wanted to air a prominent point that both men support and disseminate prominently in their teachings — the importance of living in the moment and being present. Tolle said some people live so deeply trapped in their mind — “thinking and not really seeing,” he said — that their reality is only conceptual and leads to negative judgement, often of others. He expressed that our sense of self is derived from others’ perceptions of us, which we accept as true, as well as from our material possessions and the people in our lives.

derstanding our “formless self” — “the deep presence that has always been there” — is a major transformation that can greatly impact one’s happiness. And according to Brown, the area situated just north of San Diego between the desert, mountains and ocean, is a place of unity for those seeking

this type of transformation, and she said the Chopra Center seeks to provide people the ingredients to aid in that process — “fresh air, beautiful surroundings and conscious people.” For more information, visit www.chopra.com.

Amanda Curry is the producer and star of “The Good Food Factory,” a TV show filmed at The Center for a Healthy Lifestyle in Solana Beach. said Mascia. “Our show is independently produced and distributed, and for us to be recognized among such a group of talented and professional peers is quite flattering. We are a group of dear friends that believes in making positive, healthy television for kids and families and we had a blast making this season with over 40 children and families from around San Diego. “It should be noted that two crew members, Patti Keyes and Lisa Van Es, are not listed on the award, although their contributions were essential in the achievement of the nominations.” For more information, Amanda Mascia at amanda@thegoodfoodfactory.com or visit www.TheGoodFoodFactory. com

Keepsake Companions brings personal touch to its non-medical, in-home care for seniors BY DIANE Y. WELCH Porsha Vogt loves to help others. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in her nature. To channel this love she recently founded Keepsake Companions, a non-medical, in-home care agency, located in Carlsbad, that services the San Diego County area. Although only six months old, her company is part of a well-established franchise that has been around for seven years. Vogtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s caregivers â&#x20AC;&#x201D; required to be Certified Nursing Assistants â&#x20AC;&#x201C; are carefully vetted and selected by Janie Hunt, office manager and a former caregiver. They go through an indepth interview process. Criminal and DMV background checks are run on each applicant who is also required to complete a test to determine how knowledgeable they are, Vogt said. The agency is a member of the California Association for Health Services at Home [CAHSAH]. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It makes sure that we have all the necessary employee requirements, like bonds, insurances and workersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; compensation. It sets us apart from our competitors as in California as this is not a mandated requirement,â&#x20AC;? Vogt explained. Keepsake Companionsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; mission is to improve the lives of seniors and their families by providing exemplary care in the home. Help comes in the form of meal preparation, light housekeeping, running errands, transportation and grocery shopping. It also provides bathing assistance, incontinence care and social companionship. Each caregiver clocks in on arrival and clocks out by calling headquarters on a landline. Client binders, which contain comprehensive details of the care, remain in the clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Not only does it keep us in the loop but it keeps the adult children or other family members updated and involved in the care,â&#x20AC;? said Vogt, who personally interacts with all her clients and meets all of them. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always enjoyed working with seniors, ever since I was little,â&#x20AC;? she said. Vogt, who grew up in Rancho Santa Fe, received a finance degree from the University of Colorado, Boulder. She initially worked in the finance field, but wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t passionate about it. About two years ago, seeking a change of career, she researched the options for combining her love of seniors with giving back to the community, and Keepsake Companions provided â&#x20AC;&#x153;the best of both worlds,â&#x20AC;? Vogt said. Clients are treated like extended family, and Vogt goes â&#x20AC;&#x153;above and beyondâ&#x20AC;? in her passion for her business. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One of our clients loves boats, so I took him down to the Yacht Club and we had dinner together. It was great way to bond with him and get to know him,â&#x20AC;? she said. Another client was a former pilot for the navy. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He thought it would be fun for us to go to the commissary on Camp Pendletonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s base together. So we made a day of it. I

helped him grocery shop and then we grabbed lunch together afterward,â&#x20AC;? said Vogt. This passion for helping seniors came from Vogtâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own experience with her aunt Alice, who had advanced MS (multiple sclerosis) and desperately needed a caregiver. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know then that this type of caregiver service existed and consequently she passed away in her home 20 years ago,â&#x20AC;?

Friends of Jung to hold ‘Leaning into Dreams – Exhibition and Artist Talk’on May 17 in Del Mar Please join “Friends of Jung” on Friday, May 17, at 7:30 p.m., at St. Peters Church in Del Mar for the last of its lecture series. The event will feature Stephanie Bedwell, an artist with more than 25 years of experience. In 2012 she received the Teaching Excellence Award from Grossmont College where she teaches Three-Dimensional Design. In this presentation she will explore the influence of Jungian analysis on her art. The practice of Active Imagination provides context for the archetypal images that emerge.This alchemy facilitates both healing and transformation. The sculptural work that results often alludes to universal themes such as birth, death, and vulnerability. She is drawn to ephemeral materials such as beeswax, branches, and fiber, because they echo the impermanence of life. Jung-

Academy Award-winning actress Marlee Matlin shares personal experiences of abuse at Center for Community Solutions fundraiser BY DIANE Y. WELCH April was Sexual Assault Awareness month and in its timely recognition the Center for Community Solutions (CCS) held its largest fundraising gala of the year at The Grand Del Mar. More than 600 attendees convened to celebrate and support the nonprofit’s 14th annual Tea and Tonic fundraiser. Academy Award-winning actress, author and activist Marlee Matlin was the event’s keynote speaker. She spoke passionately about her own former abuse both as a child and as an adult partner. She also signed copies of her book, a memoir, titled “I’ll Scream Later.” In her speech, Matlin talked about how she grew up in a very loving home but despite that secure environment — because of her deafness and an inability to speak — she was molested as a child by a non-family member. She shared her story about winning the Academy Award for her debut movie “Children of a Lesser God” and then finding her voice after she said she was a victim of domestic violence at the hands of a former boyfriend. She will never be silent again, she said. “I will scream loud, if anybody ever does this again.” Today Matlin is happily married, is continuing her career and has four children. “She wants to speak out about domestic violence and sexual assault in order to give other people their voice,” said Verna Griffin-Tabor, CEO of CCS and a licensed clinical social worker. “And that’s why we do this event,” she stressed. Many times people who are vulnerable are sought out by perpetrators. And many crimes of sexual assault go unreported. For this reason a large part of CCS’s work is in educating the public to prevent these crimes in the first place. “We know and believe that this violence is preventable,” said Griffin-Tabor. “And we don’t want people who have been hurt to live in shame. They aren’t the ones who committed the crime. We should be holding the perpetrators accountable.”

L-R: Edith Glassey, Marlee Matlin, Terry Kelly, Gemma Markham, Nirvana Habash. Photo/Diane Welch At the event Crystal Harris was honored as a Community Hero and was presented with the Courage Award. Despite suffering from domestic violence, Harris was ordered in Family Court to pay her abusive incarcerated husband’s legal fees, spousal support and half of her retirement accounts. The injustice sparked Harris into action when she helped sponsor a bill, last year, that is now law. It prohibits anyone convicted of a violent sexual felony from gaining financial awards from the separate property of the spouse. It was anticipated that the gala would raise in excess of $200,000, funds desperately needed for counseling and legal services, said Griffin-Tabor. The nationally-recognized social service agency is 44 years old and is the only rape crisis center for the City of San Diego and 75 percent of the county. It works with victims of domestic violence and elder abuse and has locations in El Cajon, Escondido, San Marcos and Pacific Beach areas. It also operates a countywide 24-hour bilingual crisis helpline and provides emergency domestic violence shelters, hospital and court accompaniment.

Statistically, one in four women will be a victim of domestic violence or sexual assault at some point in their life. “We want them to know that help is available and healing is possible, we see it every day,” said Griffin-Tabor. “People move beyond horrific circumstances and become the most beautiful people of integrity and that’s why I keep doing this work. The people we serve inspire me.” After the gala Matlin spoke through Jack Jason, her interpreter, “The event was like a gift for me,” she said. “Having been in a situation where I experienced domestic violence I know exactly what each and every woman who gets CCS services goes through. Today is a celebration because we are all being heard and money has been raised. But we are not finished and we are not going to stay silent, we have a lot of work to do.” Visit http://www.ccssd. org/ to find out more about the agency or to make an online tax-deductible donation.

Kids Korps USA volunteer work makes a large environmental impact During the month of April, Kids Korps USA volunteers partnered with I Love A Green San Diego to host three electronics recycling and paper shredding events in honor of Earth Day. These events, hosted by St. James Academy, Aviara Oaks Middle School and the Give 12 Committee, which is sponsored by Starbucks, produced great results for the environment. The events were free and open to the public and thanks to great community participation these efforts resulted in 20,200 pounds of paper being shredded and proper disposal of 12,352 pounds of electronics. The environmental savings associated with the paper recycling was equivalent to 171 trees, 3,800 gallons of oil, 31 cubic yards of landfill space, 40,000 kilowatts of energy, 54,000 gallons of water, and 600 pounds of air pollution. More than 6 tons of electronics were collected and diverted from landfills and other problematic disposal sites. By recycling these electronics responsi-

In everyday terms, this is equivalent to saving 720 gallons of gas, or 106 trees, or 6,007 water bottles, or 30,230 aluminum cans. The total combined weight of paper and electronics recycled as a part of these efforts was 32,552 pounds, or over 16 tons.

Trial ordered for Del Mar man BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A Del Mar man accused of raping two women, including one he met on a Christian dating website, was ordered to stand trial today on five felony charges, including forcible rape and rape of an unconscious person. After a two-day preliminary hearing, Judge Herbert Exarhos ruled that enough evidence was presented for 37-yearold Sean Patrick Banks to stand trial. A Superior Court arraignment was scheduled for May 13. Banks, a Del Mar resident, faces 44 years to life in prison if convicted. A woman identified as ``K.K.’’ testified Thursday that she first communicated with Banks — who went by the handle ``Rarity’’ — on Christianmingle.com last October. The woman said she responded favorably to a note in his profile that said he was a ``happy person’’ and ``liked to give free hugs every day.’’ ``K.K.’’ said she and Banks — who said his name was ``Rylan’’ — texted almost every day until deciding to meet for the first time on Nov. 21, the day before Thanksgiving. The woman told prosecutor David Williams III that she felt safe around Banks ``because all we talked about was God.’’ She said Banks came over around 9 p.m., bringing rum and Coke. Within a minute of sitting on the couch to watch a movie, Banks started kissing ``K.K.’’ and touching her breast, she testified. She said she told Banks to stop, which he did. A few minutes later, Banks put his hand down the front of the woman’s pants and she again told him to stop, which he did, ``K.K.’’ testified. The woman — who’s in her 20s — said Banks grabbed her arm and pulled her toward the bedroom. ``He said, `We don’t have to do anything you don’t want to do,’’’ the woman testified, saying she was scared that the defendant would hurt or kill her. Once in the bedroom, the woman said Banks pushed her onto the bed and when she tried to scoot off the opposite side, he put his forearm across her chest. ``K.K’’ testified that she told Banks that she didn’t want to have sex but he took her pants off and sexually assaulted her anyway. The witness said she told Banks, ``Let’s not do this’’ and screamed ``Please’’ when he persisted, and he finally got up, got dressed and left. ``K.K.’’ testified that minutes after Banks left her apartment, he texted her, acting as if nothing happened. ``I told you no and you kept pushing. That’s not respectful,’’ the woman said she texted Banks. When Banks said he didn’t know what she was talking about, the woman texted back, ``I’m gonna make this a big deal. Wait and see,’’ she testified. Banks was arrested Feb. 11 and charged with rape by a foreign object, residential burglary and forcible rape. It took detectives several months to identify Banks as the suspected assailant because ``K.K.’’ did not know his real name, according to police. Authorities said a second alleged victim came forward after seeing news reports of the incident involving ``K.K.,’’ telling police that Banks raped her on their third date in 2009 after she had been drinking. The defendant was charged March 1 with rape of an intoxicated person and attempting to dissuade a witness from prosecuting a crime.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion

Children need more play, not more school The Solana Beach School Board’s recent decision to extend the school day in the Global Education kindergarten class without the input of those in the program came as a bit of a shock to me. As a parent in the program, I do my best to support the school. In addition to volunteering, donating and sending my children to class well prepared and ready to learn, I make it a point not to question the actions and decisions of their teachers and school administrators. That doesn’t make me feel special. I feel surrounded — in all of Solana Beach — by parents who are somewhere between highly and extremely supportive of our schools. We contribute, I think, to school/parent cooperation as best we can. Addressing the role of educators in that partnership, the president of the Parent Institute, John H. Wherry, Ed. D., writes, “Parent involvement boosts student achievement. Communication with parents must be two-way. It is important to treat parents as partners.” I think it’s evident that the parents in the Global Ed. community want to be part of decisions about the program. Neglecting to involve them is, if you believe Dr. Wherry, the same as impeding student achievement. It’s clear that the decision to extend the kindergarten school day was not made in the best way. It may not be the best decision, either. According to an article in the May 2 edition of the Solana Beach Sun, SBSD Superintendent Nancy Lynch says that “research shows that all children benefit from full day kindergarten.” While that may be true in the short run, the most comprehensive independent study on the subject I have found points to some negative long-term effects. The study, in which the RAND corporation analyzes data on over 21,000 children, finds that any gains in achievement obtained from full-day kindergarten are eliminated by the end of third grade and that economically disadvantaged students do not receive extra benefits from the extra hours of school. It also concludes that by the fifth grade, children who went to a full-day kindergarten do worse in mathematics than those who were in a part-day program. What I found most troubling, though, was that “children who participated in a full-day kindergarten program demonstrated poorer dispositions toward learning, lower self-control, and poorer interpersonal skills than children in part-day programs.” The RAND study calls these “non-academic school readiness skills” and finds them very important for academic success. They resemble what child development specialists call “executive function.” The consensus among the experts seems to be that executive function develops best through play. My conclusion is that what our children need is not more school but more play. Maj Rundlett Solana Beach

Support for CV planning board’s position against harmful pot shops In the Solana Beach Sun article on May 2, “Carmel Valley planning board to send city a letter on marijuana issue,” I support the Carmel Valley planning board’s position against pot shops in our community. I concur with the speakers about diversion of marijuana and the retail sale of marijuana, which is against state law. I’ve seen firsthand the problems evoked by these shops. I work in Sorrento Valley, and there was a pot shop in our building. Employees and customers were always on edge with the customers coming and going from these shops and felt intimidated by the loitering and smoking in the parking lot at all hours of the day and night. Also, I thought it was interesting that they were usually all healthy looking young men and women making for a strong case of abuse of the medi-pot. Since the inception of the pot shop there had been several burglaries, so we had to be diligent in keeping items off the front counters and our possessions well out of sight. My office is on the second floor and the pot shop on the third. Several times a week someone looking for the pot shop would wander into my office, stare blankly, then turn around and leave when I asked if I could help him or her. We know that pot shops always deal in cash, because banks/credit cards won’t do business with them because of their illegal transactions, and so we were constantly concerned about our welfare and property. I think that the large amount of cash and pot in a known and advertised location makes all the businesses nearby targets. The city is correct to prohibit these dangerous, irritating and illegal businesses. Thank you for opposing pot shops and keeping our community safe. Kathleen Mackay

One Paseo good only for One Paseo residents Will One Paseo help build a sense of community in Carmel Valley? Yes, it will, as Joseph Rietman wrote in the May 2 issue, but only for One Paseo’s residents. They will be able to enjoy the Main Street, shops, open spaces, theaters, convenient freeway access, etc. because they won’t have to fight the vehicle traffic around One Paseo to get in and out, search for parking in a multilevel public parking structure, push shopping carts into a parking structure, cross wide busy streets to walk there, etc. One Paseo will make it a delight to go to the smaller neighborhood shopping centers with open, street-level parking. Ted Parker Carmel Valley

Enough with the Nazi comparisons As the grandson of an Auschwitz survivor, I am always angered and saddened when confronted with comparisons of modern day organizations to the Nazi Party. Jim Donovan’s and Tim Pickwell’s use of Nazi imagery to hyperbolize opposition to bans against public smoking and plastic bags is both reckless and dangerous. Mike Hayutin’s use of that same imagery to protest taxation in American is also shameful. In that spirit we should liken Mayor Bloomberg’s efforts to ban large fountain drinks in New York City to Kim Jon Un’s efforts to starve North Koreans. Or maybe we should draw a clear red line around the bird droppings in La Jolla Cove and liken the emanating stench to the chemical weapons used by Bashar Al-Assad in Syria. Dare I compare 9/11 or Pearl Harbor to something in such fashion? No, such suffering is incomparable. The significance of those events mustn’t be diminished that way. And neither should the suffering endured by millions during World War II. Today, we Americans cannot reasonably fear that anything resembling Nazi Germany will ever happen here. The many reasons for this should be self-evident to all. The Weimar Republic was doomed to failure from its inception and should never be used as an example of how good or bad democratic governance can give way to extremism. Local politicians can be many things, but maniacal and monstrous cult leaders they are not. Americans in general are also many things, but we do not harbor such bloodthirsty and murderous tendencies as those Europeans that would eventually join the Nazi party and require little, if any, convincing that they should mercilessly kill as many of their innocent neighbors as they could in the most terrifying and grotesque ways possible. Most importantly, our collective nature is to respect the rights of others, both native born and immigrant. Europe then had no such nature, and in some places, frankly, they still don’t. Those such as Messrs. Donovan and Pickwell who believe they know enough about German history and the rise of Adolf Hitler to suggest that incremental and innocuous moves by government to “come for my plastic bags” augur the establishment of a Fourth Reich in Solana Beach, and that there’s no one left to speak for them, would do well to spend more time learning details of history and less time parroting sound bites. No one left to speak for them? Do they also believe that “Welcome to Solana Beach” should be replaced with “Arbeit Macht Frei”? Rest assured that if “they” should ever actually come for us, the honorable United States armed forces will be here to do more than just speak up. They will fight for us. The German citizen Mr. Donovan quotes and Mr. Pickwell alludes to was Pastor Martin Niemöller, and the poem referenced is titled “First they came…” Niemöller spent eight years in Sachsenhausen and Dachau for opposing the Nazis’ state control of churches despite being an early supporter of Hitler. After the war, he became an ardent pacifist. My guess is he’d be sadly disappointed if he knew his words were invoked for the purpose of complaining about being charged 10 cents for paper bags. As I grow older and witness the passing of a generation of Survivors, my heart aches in knowing that within their own lifetimes, the horrors and monstrosities perpetrated against them and millions of others by the Nazis, both Jew and non-Jew alike, are fading into a distant, abstract collective memory used in passing conversation as allegory for polemic effect. I’m reminded of a 19th-century rabbinic sage, Haffetz Hayyim, who once commented: “There are people in the adjoining room preparing a telegram. Notice how carefully they consider each word before they put it down. That’s how careful we must be when we speak.” As for Mr. Donovan’s concern for our Founding Fathers’ American ideal, I’m sure they’d be more concerned by the desiccation of American grit evidenced by the use of such extreme imagery to describe so petty an issue as a ban on plastic bags. They fought one of humanity’s most defining wars against impossible odds and did so without automobiles, electricity, oil, telephones, television, modern sanitation, medicine, computers, the internet, iPhones and countless other luxuries enjoyed today that were unimaginable in their time. I imagine their thoughts on this matter would be: “Toughen up.” Jordan Rosenfeld

The term is borrowed from a policy in the Del Mar development codes that allows certain development bonuses for density, floor area ratio, heights, etc. only if justified by exceptional benefits and amenities committed back to the community by the developer. This principle has been applied to projects like the Del Mar Plaza and the Inn L’Auberge, where exceptional public benefits included such things as public use spaces, a community market, and funding for the Del Mar library (since built at CDM at 13th St). Exceptional community benefits can be “any on-site or off-site improvements, protections, regulations, funding, or programs not typically expected of a development project but that are committed to a project as justification for any development in excess of the underlying zoning.” As I see it, the community benefits associated with One Paseo could be anything we as a community deem necessary and appropriate commensurate with the development bonuses requested by Kilroy. Kilroy is asking for densities well above what is permitted by the underlying zoning. Here are some community benefits and amenities I think Kilroy should provide (and fund) for any development bonuses they request: 1) A mandated mix of retail, restaurant, entertainment/cultural and public use areas be built into the project and a guarantee that these community-serving uses do not get reduced after project approval. Examples include public plaza areas, courtyards, green space, and sidewalk (café) seating. These public use areas should be large enough for a weekly farmers market or similar community-wide events. Cultural uses could include North Coast Repertory Theatre or a children’s interactive museum; 2) A requirement for local transportation alternatives, including a neighborhood shuttle bus system provided by Kilroy connecting One Paseo to the surrounding neighborhoods and office developments. Our Community Plan calls for a transit bus linking the town center to the surrounding neighborhoods. Transit connections should also be explored to NCTD bus and Coaster stations in Sorrento Valley, Del Mar, and Solana Beach; 3) “Opening up” the plan design outward to integrate the project within the larger community context. The current plan provides its “Main Street” concept internal to the site and cut off from the rest of the community. The plan should also include pedestrian bridges, bike paths and trails with direct linkages to adjacent residential, office and commercial areas across Del Mar Heights Road, El Camino Real, and High Bluff. Community enhancements should also include street and roadway enhancements and Carmel Valley identity signage at the “gateway” intersection of Del Mar Heights and High Bluff; 4) Programs for communitywide events such as a farmers markets, “First Thursday” events, summer concerts or Taste of Carmel Valley, etc. Newer communities like San Elijo Hills and Liberty Station host year-round events and activities. There’s no reason Kilroy can’t sponsor similar year-round community-wide events for Carmel Valley. One Paseo project has an opportunity to fulfill our Community Plan’s vision for a true town center and provide exceptional benefits for our community. We can help create the list of what those exceptional community benefits might be. I encourage our community, city planners and elected officials to come up with ideas and suggestions for uses, improvements, amenities and programs we’d like to see best serve our community and send them to the planning board, Councilmember Lightner, Mayor Filner and Kilroy. In reference to the Community Plan, any benefit should strive to meet the “social, cultural, and recreational needs of the community as well as provide the shopping function…” If Kilroy wants the benefit of increased densities and other development bonuses, we can and should demand our own benefits of community-wide significance.

Kudos to planning board for opposing pot shops in CV Kudos to the Carmel Valley planning board for its decision to go on record with the City of San Diego as opposing marijuana dispensaries and, as such, the commercialization of marijuana in our community. This is a positive step toward protecting our neighborhoods and youth from the illegal sale of marijuana for profit. It is bolstered by a California Supreme Court ruling today (May 6, 2013) that says local governments have legal authority to ban storefront pot shops or medical marijuana dispensaries within their borders through zoning powers. Unfortunately, people with marijuana recommendations who get them filled at these dispensaries often return for refills and resell to local youth. This happens frequently despite the fact California law does not authorize dispensaries, collectives, cooperatives or individuals to profit from the sale or distribution of marijuana. We must be mindful that dispensaries merely require so-called “patients” to complete a form summarily designating the business owner as their “primary caregiver,” then offer marijuana in exchange for cash donations. As such, they operate strictly as for-profit retail outlets and may be operating illegally. We do not want to spread the message that retail sale of marijuana in Carmel Valley neighborhoods is acceptable. Peggy Walker

Australian flag missing, please notify if found My wife and I recently moved to beautiful Solana Beach. For our house-warming party on May 4 our Australian flag was out, but unfortunately it quickly disappeared. I trust it was due to the high winds that day...

Bad refereeing and indifferent coaching endanger future of youth soccer With the continuing popularity and success of youth soccer, there is a constant increase of the number of teens playing soccer. Unfortunately, with the increasing number of players comes an increasing number of serious injuries that can effectively end a soccer career. Most disturbing is how a huge number of these injuries are intentional, demonstrating complete disregard for the well-being and future of the players on the opposing side. In fact, in the first round of the National Cup, the Under 17 boys received 22 red cards, almost half for violent conduct. And people argue that there should have been at least twice as much. Who is to the blame for these types of injuries? First and foremost we have to blame the players and their parents for a lack of basic morality and tolerance toward neighbors and fellow citizens. Of course the parents bear additional blame since after the game they do not speak or punish their children for the behavior. Second, the blame is on the referees that try to avoid serious confrontation with the parents and coaches and, hence, are very reluctant to show red and even yellow cards. With that they encourage the players to hit and injure other players during the game. And, third, are the coaches who while doing a good job with soccer, are usually not ready to teach their players values such as sports etiquette and basic social responsibility. What most of these young adults fail to understand is that the players they injure are maybe poor kids whose only hope of attending college is on a soccer scholarship or that maybe they are ending someone’s hope to play professional soccer. Addressing these issues has to become a first priority for CalSouth, especially since more and more college coaches recognize CalSouth as the main source of top college players. We cannot let everything that clubs like Surf and San Diego Soccer achieved in player development, (a player from Surf Academy plays for the U17 National team) and college recruiting go down the drain because of increased violence. Soccer is not supposed to be a violent game. Just because someone is technically better than you, or is faster, does not give you the right to hit and injure to restore parity on the field. If you try to do that, you should be expelled from the game (as the game rules command) and be punished by the league. A lot of soccer clubs have issues with the regional CIF sections due to the way they run high school sports. But one thing that CIF got right is the extremely tight discipline enforced during the high school games. That has led to a tremendous increase in the quality of high school soccer and helped a growth in the interest for soccer in high schools. So if we want to see an improvement in the quality of U.S. soccer, it’s time to stop tolerating violence on the field and start working on technical aspects of the game. And to be able to do that we need the players, parents, coaches and refs to start behaving with respect toward one another and to the game of soccer. Svetislav Maric San Diego

Just spend the money on parking structures Several years ago the Del Mar council committee of Hilliard/Earnest reported to the council that the city was in dire financial condition and needed to somehow increase sales tax revenue, so they adopted the retail streetfront ordinance for the entire Commercial Zone. That didn’t work, so the council formed the FormBased Code committee to redo the entire C-Zone, which didn’t work out. Then Prop J Specific Plan for the C-Zone was undertaken, only to get voted down. Each of these efforts resulted in a whole lot of money from somewhere being spent on efforts to increase sales tax revenue from the business community by a city in dire financial straits. Now the council is talking about spending $45,000 on three legal/planning firms to look for other quirky ways to increase parking, or decrease the perception that there is a parking shortage. Why not finally spend money on parking structures, like they spend on parks, and get the problem solved? Surely the city in dire

financial straits will run out of money. Ralph Peck Del Mar

Del Mar Surf Classic to be held May 18

Rusty Del Mar Surf Shop is hosting The Del Mar Surf Classic on Saturday, May 18. The surf contest will take place on the beach at 15th Street beginning at 7 a.m. The event is expected to take place most of the day, capping off with an awards ceremony. Contestants can compete in an all-age open division, a middle school division, high school division, girls’ division and masters’ division for surfers age 40 and up. This is the second time Rusty’s has held a surf contest. A panel of judges will award points on maneuvers, length of the ride and size of the wave. In each division, surfers will be ranked first through sixth place but no one will walk away empty handed. “It’s more geared toward the community — every contestant gets a gift bag and everybody’s a winner so to speak,” said Rusty’s owner Zach Groban. To enter the event, contestants can sign up at the shop, located at 201 15th Street, Del Mar, or on the morning of the event. A form can be printed out online and the entry fee is $40. Every participant gets a t-shirt and gift bag. For more information, visit rustydelmar.com

Letters to the Editor/Opinion Local poet shares journey The following poem was read and appreciated at a recent Del Mar Community Connections meeting: “I Choose To Sail” Without fear of the unknown, I sail through life without conscious reference to Socrates, Einstein, De Vinci, Hawking, or others, yet somehow I share their journey, so I am never alone. The breeze that billows my sail has no color, no form, nor any sound, yet moment by moment revives every nuance of my alivesness, nourishing my soul with the shimmer of resonant life within. I sail the rugged coast of life alive, and aware, armed with bouquets of ancient memories, which soar steeply to awaken my mind, and comfort me, then evanesce toward the dome of the sky, and beyond. My thoughts dance through space igniting cohorts of ever more dazzling dreams, and echo velvet tones which beckon me come with them to the farthest reaches of the universe. And when my sailing days are done, I will dance with ancient memories, listen to the velvet tones that beckon others, and join together with them to travel the starlit universe. Jacquie Schmall

Oops! The peril of fake news BY GORDON CLANTON My previous column (May 2) was intended as a provocative scattering of countywide political gossip. It included a report that “Encinitas Councilwoman Kristen Gaspar will challenge Republican incumbent Darrell Issa in the 2014 congressional primary.” It turns out that this is not true. On Monday I received this e-mail from Supervisor Dave Roberts: “Saw her [Gaspar] last night at community reception and your column comment was talk of event. Where did the rumor come from as she said there is no truth to it. She told me even Issa asked her about it.” Some time ago, an Encinitas friend sent me this: “Gaspar to Challenge Issa in 2014 Congressional Primary. The We Love Encinitas charity has announced that co-founder and City Council member Kristen Gaspar will challenge incumbent Darrell Issa in the 2014 congressional primary. . .” My informant and I assumed this was legitimate because We Love Encinitas was organized by Kristen’s husband, Paul Gaspar – and because the item had been forwarded by a trusted source. It now appears the release was the work of a blogger, Encinitas Guerrilla (not mentioned in the version that reached me) and was written with satirical intent. The same blog includes an item about photogenic Supervisor Roberts: “Dave Roberts Wins Coveted Most-Photographed-Elected-Public Official Award.” The piece continues: “In barely more than 100 days, Supervisor Dave Roberts tallied more published photos than any other San Diego County elected public official, most of whom had been working

at it since last year’s award.” BTW: My May 2 column originally included word that Peder Norby would run against Supervisor Bill Horn. That was no joke, but Norby recently suspended his planned campaign, so I cut that item just before the piece went to press. I spoke with Kristen Gaspar, who confirmed that she is not running for Congress — and that the blog was the source of the rumor. She was a good sport, telling me that some of her supporters were disappointed that she was not running. I’m sorry for any confusion that resulted from my being taken in by fake news — and by my own wishful thinking. Gordon Clanton teaches Sociology at San Diego State University.

Honoring the original mother of Mother’s Day Although Mother’s Day has become synonymous with brunches, bouquets, beauty and spa treatments, it was originally intended as an anti-war protest and a call for women to enter public life and the political arena. The Mother’s Day proclamation, written in 1870 by Julia Ward Howe — a beautiful, well-educated poet, suffragette and abolitionist — declares the right of all women to protect their sons and husbands from the atrocities of war by demanding peaceful solutions to conflicts, along with gaining access to political power and education. So in the midst of pleasant festivities and sentiments, let us remember that motherhood is the protective matrix of human life and civility and that the world’s women and children deserve safety and sustenance. Here is the excerpt from Julia Ward Howe’s extraordinary proclamation: “Arise, then, women of this day! Arise all women who have hearts, whether our baptism be that of water or of fears! Say firmly: “We will not have great questions decided by irrelevant agencies. Our husbands shall not come to us, reeking with carnage, for caresses and applause. Our sons shall not be taken from us to unlearn all that we have been able to teach them of charity, mercy and patience. We women of one country will be too tender of those of another country to allow our sons to be trained to injure theirs.” From the bosom of the devastated earth a voice goes up with our own. It says, “Disarm, Disarm!” The sword of murder is not the balance of justice. Blood does not wipe our dishonor nor violence indicate possession.. As men have often forsaken the plow and the anvil at the summons of war, let women now leave all that may be left of home for a great and earnest day of counsel. Let them meet first, as women, to bewail and commemorate the dead. Let them then solemnly take counsel with each other as to the means whereby the great human family can live in peace, each bearing after their own time the sacred impress, not of Caesar, but of God. In the name of womanhood and of humanity, I earnestly ask that a general congress of women without limit of nationality may be appointed and held at some place deemed most convenient and at the earliest period consistent with its objects, to promote the alliance of the different nationalities, the amicable settlement of international questions, The great and general interests of peace.” — Julia Ward Howe, Boston, 1870 Shanti Mayberry

From Del Mar to D.C., TPHS senior pursuing his soccer passion BY ROB LEDONNE Carmel Valley native Garrett Heine didn’t realize that he could pursue soccer after high school until he was in the midst of his sophomore year as a student at Torrey Pines. “I never really knew much about playing for college until then,” he explains from his North County home. “I was always thinking season-to-season, never too far in the future. However, some of the older kids on my team were going to college to play and I thought, ‘Wow. That’s definitely something I’d want to do.’” In addition, Heine describes playing soccer, namely for Torrey Pines, “the most fun I’ve ever had, especially being with my friends. It’s all about passion and everyone bonds.” With a goal to play after high school and beyond firmly planted in his brain, Heine started messaging a variety of schools. “I sent out emails to maybe 20, 30 schools... the kinds that were long shots, but I figured I’d take a chance and see what happens. I started that process to get my feet in the water to learn more about playing for college during the summer between my sophomore and junior

Garrett Heine years, and it escalated from there.” Fortunately, Heine has a rich history playing soccer to back up his aspirations. “I’ve been playing competitively nonstop, yearround since I was 8,” he notes. “I’ve played for most of the major clubs in San Diego and North County.” Like most kids his age, he got his start in the sport after his parents signed him up for recreational soccer, and from there it snowballed. “At first I was like everyone else playing,” he explained. “After awhile, I

started to really, really like it.” At one point or another, Heine has played for Torrey Pines (both junior and varsity), as well as clubs such as Albion, Surf, the Del Mar Carmel Valley Sharks, and, most recently, La Jolla’s Nomads soccer club, which is a branch team of the U.S. Soccer Development Academy. Throughout a typical year, Heine would move around from one team to another. “For my sophomore and junior years, I’d take a break playing club soccer to be on the high school team, which is basically what everyone did,” said Heine, who explained that following his junior year the Development Academy instituted new rules for club players about taking that break. “They think (high school is) lower level playing and that it hurts the development of someone who wants to pursue this longterm, as well as to compete at the international level.” Since Heine wanted to play soccer for a major division, he stuck with the club soccer throughout his senior year and it’s through his coach playing for the Surf club that he was discovered by George Washington Uni-

619.309.9626

versity, a college located in the heart of Washington D.C. “The coach at George Washington is young, and he’s trying to build a new team. He talked to my coach at Surf and watched a couple of my games. Right off the bat, I didn’t know much about the school but it ended up being a good fit for me.” Heine was also attracted to George Washington be-

cause of its conference level — A10, which is made up of an esteemed group of competitive, athletic schools. Once Heine visited George Washington’s campus during last winter he was sold, and this past February he officially signed with the school on National Signing Day. “I graduate from Torrey Pines in June, and then I go to the campus with the fall athletes a few weeks before the start of the school year at George Washington to get acclimated with the campus and start practicing,” Heine says, looking forward to his next couple of months. “Until then, I’ll be trying to improve my fitness and skills going into camp so I can have a big impact my first year there.” Overall, he’s excited about the new experience: “I’ve been visiting the East Coast since I was young, so going to college there was something I always wanted to do.”

Local foundation plays key role in birth of new brain mapping project DM president of Kavli Foundation met with Obama twice recently Hollee Temple with her husband, John, and sons Gideon, 10, and Hank, 8.

Author says ‘good enough’ can be the new ‘perfect’ for today’s moms BY ASHLEY MACKIN Celebrating the second anniversary of her book “Good Enough Is The New Perfect: Finding Happiness and Success in Modern Motherhood” (published on Mother’s Day 2011) temporary local resident Hollee Temple uses Mother’s Day as a chance to share her advice for working moms on the seemingly impossible balancing act of motherhood and career, and feeling successful in both. Spending her sabbatical locally with her husband and two sons, Temple is a law professor at West Virginia University and public speaker on her book’s messages. “As a professor, I’m dealing with students in their mid-20s, who are also at the crossroads of ‘how am I going to manage my career and be a mom?’ ” To find out, she and writing partner Becky Beaupre Gillespie sent out surveys through their professional networks and social media. Temple said within 10 days, they received more than 1,000 responses spanning 42 states and various careers. The results of that survey, which Temple said includes extensive answers to open-ended questions, is that women find themselves in two groups, which she calls the “never-enoughs” and the “goodenoughs.” The never-enoughs are the textbook perfectionists, Temple said. “They had to be No. 1 in every element of their lives. They were killing themselves at work and killing themselves at home, feeling like they had to excel at everything.” The good-enoughs, “were more able to prioritize and realize it would be impossible to succeed on every front at the same time, and were more directed in how their time and energy was used,” she said. Initially, Temple said she thought the neverenoughs would have more markers of success, because they were so driven to be successful. In reality, the opposite was true, especially in relationships. The good-enoughs reported being happier in marriages and friendships, while the never-enoughs were six times more likely to describe their marriage as “not very good” or even “a disaster.” SEE Q&A, PAGE B25

BY JOE TASH In 2011, a scientific foundation with ties to North San Diego County organized a meeting in London to brainstorm ways that neuroscientists, who study the brain and mind, and nanoscientists, who study the smallest objects imaginable, could collaborate on basic research. An intriguing idea emerged from that initial meeting — what if scientists could map the functions of the human brain, furthering their understanding of the complex circuitry that drives thought, memory, emotions, physical movement and other human behavior? Last month, the scientists got a major boost when President Barack Obama announced the BRAIN Initiative, earmarking about $100 million in his new budget to launch a project aimed at unlocking the secrets of the human brain. Scientists from San Diego County were closely involved in developing the ideas behind the BRAIN Initiative — which stands for Brain Research Through Advancing Innovative Neurotechnologies — and are also likely to participate in some of the research once the project gets going. Robert Conn, a Del Mar resident and president of the Kavli Foundation, met with Obama twice in the space of a few days in late March and early April, once to honor the 2012 recipients of the Kavli Prize for scientific achievement, and once regarding the BRAIN Initiative. An underlying message of the presidential attention, said Conn, is that “science

Strommen, Norwegian ambassador to the United States; Rockell N. Hankin, vice chairman of the Kavli Foundation; Robert W. Conn, president of the Kavli Foundation; Kavli Laureates Mildred S. Dresselhaus, Cornelia Isabella Bargmann, Ann M. Graybiel, Jane X. Luu, David C. Jewitt and Michael E. Brown. OFFICIAL WHITE HOUSE PHOTO BY PETE SOUZA matters.” Conn, a former dean of the Jacobs School of Engineering at UCSD, has headed the Kavli Foundation for four years. The foundation was established by Fred Kavli, a Norwegian-born busines sman who emigrated to the U.S. in the 1950s. If scientists can figure out how the brain’s trillions of neural connections work to coordinate and control mind and body functions, Conn said, they may also come up with treatments or cures for diseases ranging from Alzheimer’s to autism. Scientists also believe the research could lead to technological breakthroughs in the interaction of humans and machines, said Miyoung

Chun, Kavli Foundation vice president and organizer of the initial scientific meeting in London in 2011. Practical applications could include better prosthetic devices for amputees and people paralyzed by strokes. “If we’ve learned anything from scientific research over the last 100 years, in the end it makes an extraordinary difference to the quality of our lives, the health and well being of people and, maybe just as importantly, the economic health of a country,” Conn said. Chun said the excitement generated by the president’s announcement and the meeting with Obama at the White House was tempered by the realization of

how much work needs to be done to make the project a success. “The scientists now have perhaps the greatest challenge of their entire career in front of them,” said Chun, who has helped author papers about the project and presented the idea to contacts at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy. Obama and others have compared the brain mapping project to the Human Genome Project, which identified the genetic codes that determine our unique characteristics. In the case of the brain mapping project, scientists said, one of the key challenges is developing tools that can monitor and measure hundreds and thousands of neurons as they fire and interact in real time.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

New and longtime popular businesses continue to enhance Del Mar Plaza’s reputation as a ‘special gathering place’

La Jolla Cultural Partners

BY DIANE Y. WELCH While shopping online has become popular, many say nothing can beat firstclass, face-to-face service in a beautiful setting. It’s an advantage that the Del Mar Plaza has over internet shopping. Annie and Chris Glenn, owners of two plaza stores – Urban Girl Accessories and San Diego Surf Company – agree and make it a policy to go the extra mile for their clientele. “We believe strongly in customer service,” said the Glenns who offer drive-up service. “Customers can call ahead if they know what they need and we will meet them on the curb to get their credit card, run the charge, and package up their item. All without having to get out of their car,” said Annie, who also caters to customers’ pets by providing complimentary doggie treats. Just prior to opening their stores two years ago,

The Del Mar Plaza the Carmel Valley husband-and-wife couple were considering their options for the optimum retail location, and chose Del Mar Plaza because it fit specific parameters. Their stores needed a location with character, accessible to both local clientele and tourists and close to the beach. “And one of the best parts is the fact that the Plaza has plenty of parking ” said Annie. All plaza stores offer a two-hour complimentary parking validation for customers, a big asset during summer months when street parking is scarce. A convenient downtown Del Mar location and sweeping view of the Pacific make the Plaza –founded in 1989 – unique. Since the upscale building changed ownership three years ago upgrades and improvements have been made, said

Michael Hull, vice president of Madison Marquette, management for the plaza. New signage and lighting have been installed throughout and the buildings painted and all wood trim refinished. Honey-hued teak outdoor furnishings are a recent addition to the Plaza’s exterior patio areas. They provide comfort and relaxation for visitors who stop to absorb the Plaza’s Europeanstyle atmosphere. A new roof has been installed, common area restrooms upgraded, and a halfmillion dollar renovation made to the deck on the Plaza Level between Il Fornaio — a founding tenant — and its sister restaurant Enoteca Fornaio. Mike Hislop, CEO for Il Fornaio, announced that the leases for both restaurants have been extended. “We look forward to serving Del Mar residents and visitors our authentic Italian food and drinks for many years to

come in this spectacular setting,” he said. Anticipated changes in tenants, for example, The Harvest Ranch Market vacated its space earlier this year, has provided opportunity. “We are excited with all the interest in the Market space from various prospects,” said Kelley Maher, senior vice president of leasing with Madison Marquette. “We are looking for the right use for this one-of-akind location and we are seeking an operator and use that the community and local residents will be drawn to visit and shop.” Longtime tenants say they look forward to new tenants moving into the Plaza. “The Plaza has always been a big part of Del Mar,” explained Kipp Downing who, since 1989, has owned and operated Pacifica Del Mar, the plaza’s popular seafood restaurant. “People want to see the Plaza do well, especially all of the

owners here. I hope the restaurant that goes in where Flavor used to be is a better restaurant than mine, that’s how spaces like this work. I want the place to be full and vibrant.” Downing said he recently made changes to enhance his business. “We’re starting to focus a little more on our catering business,” said Downing, who also noted that they are doing things such as marketing the Pacifica name and food for a licensed branch of the eatery at the San Diego International Airport. Pacifica has also started a locals Sunday Night, which includes no corkage fee for 92014 residents with identification. In addition, Pacifica offers half-off wine Thursdays, Happy Hour all night Monday, and Wednesday $6 Martini Nights. Pacifica gives back to the community in a variety of ways, including hosting a

After 26 years, Del Mar Farmers Market stays true to its roots and vegetables BY CLAIRE HARLIN More than 26 years ago, Del Mar residents rallied to begin the second-ever San Diego County farmers market to support local farms and compensate for the lack of a grocery store in the small coastal city. Since then, the county has seen the addition of dozens more local farmers markets like the one that sets up shop from 1 to 4 p.m. on Saturdays in the Del Mar City Hall parking lot — and, according to the United States Department of Agriculture, the growth of such markets in the nation has nearly tripled over the past three years, with San Diego being a hotbed. But while much has evolved in terms of healthdriven trends and emphasis on shopping local, the Del Mar Farmers Market has largely operated by the same values it established back in the early 1980s, and it’s the only market in the county that’s been donating its proceeds in full to more than a handful of local charities while also providing scholarships to send the Del Mar market’s farmers and their families to college. The market has also maintained

many of the original shoppers and vendors that have been selling since day one. “One of the things that makes us totally unique and a reason we have such a loyal clientele is because we award scholarships every year to the families of farmers as well as employees of the market,” said the market’s president, Nicole Holliday, adding that there are usually between five and 10 schol-

arships of about $1,000 awarded annually and paid directly to a recipient’s place of study. Holliday said receiving scholarship awards and working at the market have greatly impacted a number of employees, such as Jason from the Dry Dock Fish Company, who recently graduated with an accounting degree and has worked at the market since he was a young teen. She also mentioned the seven kids in the family that owns Schaner Farms, who have been helping out at the market for years, and the owners of the new new real-fruit ice pop stand that always bring their youngsters along to help. “Annie the Egg Lady,” along with her kids and grandkids, have also become familiar faces, as Annie has sold her Eben-Haezer Poultry Farm goods there since the market’s beginnings. And Francesca, a longtime citrus fruit farmer, continues to run her booth each week, even though her husband and former business partner has passed away and she’s in the ballpark of 90 years old. When the market began, it sought not to make a profit, but to serve the com-

munity, and that sentiment has also remained unchanged. After paying its overhead, the nonprofit contributes excess proceeds to causes such as the San Dieguito River Valley and Del Mar Community Connections. This year the market also contributed $10,000 to the Del Mar Library to help with its renovation. Since the Harvest Ranch Market closed on New Year’s Eve, the Del Mar community has somewhat come full circle — arriving back where it started 26 years ago with no local grocer. But despite the camaraderie and nostalgia that’s been built since then upon the market’s mission to enhance the community, it is also having to adapt to the proliferation of grocery competition in the area — particularly the large stores opening in the Del Mar Highlands and Flower Hill Promenade, as well as the One Paseo project that’s in the works, Holliday said. And possibly for the first time, there have been some changes at the market that she feels are positive — the most drastic being the addition of the market’s first-ever non-vendor man-

SD Musical Theatre’s ‘The Sound of Music’ runs May 10-26; Q&A with local performers San Diego Musical Theatre is holding its second production of the 2013 season, Rodgers and Hammerstein’s “The Sound of Music,” running May 10-26 at the Birch North Park Theatre. For individual or group tickets contact the Administrative Office at 858-560-5740 or visit SDMT online at www.sdmt.org. Birch North Park Theatre is located at 2891 University Avenue, San Diego, 92104. Some of the production’s local cast members answer questions below: Debra Wanger, theatre actress/teacher/mom When and why did you start performing? Age 9. Followed my brother to acting class, I was hooked. It didn’t hurt that John Cusack, Joan Cusack and Jeremy Piven were all in his class! Why did you want to appear in this musical? I love working with SDMT and The Sound of Music is such an enduring classic that brings so many joy. Plus a nun costume is very forgiving. What do you like best and least about performing? I love the camaraderie and singing with a lush, live orchestra (this production has a 24-piece orchestra. Yum.) Least — the late, long hours and auditioning/constantly looking for the next job. What is your favorite play or musical of all time? Sunday in the Park with George, Sweeney Todd, A Chorus Line, Secret Garden, West Side Story, Light in the Piazza....I could keep going. Too hard to pick just one! Katelyn Katz, Sage Canyon Elementary School When and why did you start performing: I started performing when I was 5. I loved singing and dancing so my mom signed me up for a musical theatre camp. Why did you want to appear in this musical? I wanted to appear in this musical because I’ve always loved the music and the message of the story. I also thought it was a great way to strengthen my acting abilities because of all the different things the von Trapp children experience throughout the show. From being strict, mini soldiers to being free and fun kids. What are your career goals? To be on Broadway! What do you like best and least about performing? My favorite thing about performing is learning everything about the character and getting to experience what the character goes through. I also love getting to meet everyone in new casts and crews. There’s nothing I dislike about performing! Jonas McMullen, a 7th grade student in Solana Beach. When and why did you start performing? I started performing at the age of 6, but started seriously when I broke my collar bone at the age of 9 and could not play soccer.

Jonas McMullen

Katelyn Katz

Why did you want to appear in this musical? From the first time I saw the movie The Sound of Music I have always wanted to be in it ever since. I feel so lucky to have been chosen to play Friedrich and be in this wonderful show! What are your career goals? I hoping to study acting in college, go to medical school and act on Broadway or make films. What do you like best and least about performing? I love telling stories to an audience through singing, acting and dancing. Hopefully the audience enjoys watching the show as much as I love performing! Hourie Kilijian, a student at The Gillispie School When and why did you start performing: I’ve been in shows for two years now, and I love it! I started performing because I love to sing. I sing in my church choir on Sundays, and when I’m in a show it means I get to sing the other days of the week, too. Singing makes me happy. Why did you want to appear in this musical? The Sound of Music is such a fun musical, and it’s a great show for kids because the children are in so many of the scenes. I saw the movie with my family a while ago, and my mom used to sing “Edelweiss” to us when we were little. When I heard that it was being performed on stage, I was so excited! What are your career goals? To finish my book report on “The Secret Garden.” It’s due next week. What do you like best and least about performing? There’s nothing I don’t like about performing! I love the songs, I love being on stage, I love making so many new friends, and watching the older kids and the grown-ups do their scenes. Getting to wear costumes is fun, too. But the best part is singing all these wonderful songs. Musical theater is the best!

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Impac Mortgage’s Solana Beach office offers ‘a wide variety of loan products and closes loans quickly’ BY JOE TASH With 18 years in the mortgage lending business, Kathy Larson prides herself on her communications skills and ability to solve problems so loans close on time and with a minimum of hassle. Larson, a Carmel Valley resident and manager of Impac Mortgage’s Solana Beach office, which is celebrating its first anniversary, enjoys interacting with customers and helping them close loans, whether for a purchase or refinance. “It’s something I’ve had a passion for from the very beginning. I truly love lending,” said Larson. Impac is a mortgage lender with local ties but a national reach, said Ondar Tarlow, senior vice president and director of marketing. The company is a direct lender, meaning it is licensed by mortgage lending giants Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, as well as the Federal Housing Administration or FHA. Those relationships, said Tarlow, allow Impac to offer a wide variety of loan products and close loans quickly, on an average of 24 days from application to closing. Among the loan products offered by Impac are conventional fixed-rate mortgages; jumbo loans; HARP refinance loans for those who owe more than their home is worth; reverse mortgages; and 203K home renovation loans. Tarlow encouraged anyone who is considering purchasing a home or refinancing to meet with an Impac loan officer. “Let’s figure out what makes the most sense for you,” he said. Even though interest rates are at historic lows, some people sit on the fence, waiting for rates to go even lower. “When people ask me, when should I refinance, I say now,” said Larson. “Because I know what the rates are now and I know I can save you money now. I don’t know what I can do a month from now or six months from now.” Impac’s parent company, Impac Mortgage Holdings, Inc., was founded in Irvine in 1995. Impac operates primarily in the western states of California, Oregon, Washington, Nevada and Idaho. The company has three operations cen-

Ondar Tarlow, Impac Mortgage senior vice president and director of marketing, and Kathy Larson, Impac Mortage Solana Beach branch manager. Photo/Beau Brown ters and 29 branch offices. As of the end of Quarter 1 for 2013, Impac’s mortgage servicing portfolio was in excess of $1.7 billion. Impac’s business is in direct retail lending to consumers; wholesale lending through mortgage brokers and correspondent lending through credit unions; community banks and other financial institutions, said Tarlow. The company places a premium on experience for its employees. Larson said that all of the loan officers working in her branch, at 437 S. Highway 101, Suite 110, Solana

Beach, have at least 10 years of experience in the mortgage industry. “We’re able to manage any type of situation with a borrower that comes across. Experience is definitely a pre-requisite,” she said. Among the company’s loan products is the 203K renovation loan, which allows a home buyer to get financing for both a purchase or refinance, and home renovation, at the same time. One advantage of such a loan, she said, is that it allows purchasers to consider homes that need extensive renovation, or have structural problems, such as a cracked slab or worn-out roof. Such properties often are not eligible for conventional financing, meaning they can only be purchased by all-cash buyers. A 203K loan “opens up the inventory for a buyer looking for homes, knowing they can do the improvements after the loan closes, making the property financeable now,” Larsen said. Other products offered by the company include jumbo loans, where the loan amount is above $546,250 in San Diego, and reverse mortgage loans, which might be helpful for seniors who have cash savings, but little or no income. Seniors who don’t qualify for a conventional refinance loan may qualify for a reverse mortgage, Tarlow and Larson said. With rates for 30-year, fixed rate loans below 4 percent, Tarlow said, those who haven’t refinanced for a year or two — or longer — might be able to save a lot of money by refinancing to a lower interest rate. “It’s a good time to buy, a good time to refinance, a good time to call,” Larson said.

SPOTLIGHT on LOCAL BUSINESS

Land Rover San Diego adds a ‘touch of elegance’ to the car-buying experience BY CATHERINE KOLONKO While there are only 166 Land Rover dealerships in the United States, Southern California has a higher concentration than other parts of the country, making it a very competitive market for the luxury cars. With this in mind, Jason Puga, 35, who owns and manages Land Rover San Diego, says he and his team of employees want to make every car-buying experience on his lot a memorable one. Puga settled in the San Diego area after learning about the car business by working at dealerships across the U.S. upon graduating from college in New Mexico. About 18 months ago, he accepted an offer from a former associate to become coowner of a Land Rover dealership. He is an equity partner with Kuni Automotive, a privately held company that operates luxury dealerships in several states. Since he took over the site at 9455 Clayton Drive in Mira Mesa as co-owner and general manager, the dealership’s monthly new car sales volume grew from about 25 to 75 to 85, Puga said. “The last two months we actually were ranked number 1 in the western region and number 1 in Southern California” for new car sales, he said. Puga said he believes that what sets his dealership apart from the others is his emphasis on creating a valuable customer experience through transparency, a quality not always associated with the car-selling business. Puga, who first sold cars during college, recalled learning from more experienced coworkers the importance of building trust with customers. “I’ve taught my staff to do the right thing,” said Puga, explaining the core of his business philosophy. “We have to be very competitive, especially in this market. But the differentiating part is the customer is going to get a great experience here. They are going to know they left here being spoken to truthfully... “They know that when they leave here they had a great experience and will be taken care of going forward.” His boutique dealership of Land Rovers and Range Rovers also offers a sense of exclusivity for customers considering a purchase on the luxury car market, said Puga. He and his em-

ployees want to add a touch of elegance to the car-buying experience, he said. Land Rovers and Range Rovers attract affluent customers who typically earn an annual income from $150,000 to $350,000, and will pay from $40,000 up to $180,000 for a new car. The brand is often the preferred car for independentthinking entrepreneurs, said Puga. “They are self-made people,” explained Puga. “They are founders who have established some kind of patent or business owners in the community.” People who buy from his dealership have high expectations for good customer service, said Puga. “They have a different sense of the way business should be operated. They, themselves, have started at some point growing business from the bottom up and have probably become successful because of customer service.” Puga teaches his employees to quickly identify the needs of a potential car buyer. “You have about four minutes for the consumer to make a decision whether or not they want to do business with that person. So building a rapport with the consumer is very important.” When customers get excited about their car-buying experiences, they are more likely to return and refer the business to others. A good reputation in the community fosters business success, said Puga. Aside from his role as part owner, Puga also works at the dealership where he oversees six managers and 60 employees in his role as general manager. The dual responsibilities allow him to make decisions quickly and respond to customers’ concerns and expectations, said Puga. “It’s a little nerve racking but at the same time it’s rewarding because every day I see growth,” he said. While this is his first shot at dealership ownership, the venture falls in step with Puga’s earlier goals in life of wanting to be a CEO or business leader, he said. Ford Motor Company recruited Puga soon after he graduated from college to help dealership owners build their business in locations throughout the United States. He later obtained a master’s degree from Pepperdine University and worked for several years as a consultant

Puga’s dealership has participated in charitable work with Rady’s Children Hospital, a food bank and educational programs, and plans to cultivate additional relationships with other organizations as a way to contribute to the community, he said. “We really want to be community advocates and pay it forward…” Puga said. “It’s not just about us being in business and being profitable. It is us understanding that without the community we really can’t be as successful as we have been.” For more information, visit www.landroversandiego.com; (877) 629-6194; 9455 Clayton Dr., San Diego, 92126.

Fair Trade Décor in Del Mar dedicates store opening to help people in need Local residents and owners of Fair Trade Décor, Jude and Betsy Paganelli, have partnered with PCI (Project Concern International) for their grand opening May 11 – 12. In celebration of World Fair Trade Day and Mother’s Day, the Paganellis chose PCI as a charitable partner because PCI serves mothers and children in developing nations around the world, as well as low-income families in San Diego. Activities on the opening weekend will include live world music and educational information from PCI. Fair Trade Decor is located at 1412 Camino Del Mar (Del Mar) and supports economically disadvantaged artisans around the world, many of them in the same countries served by PCI. The store’s diverse line of home décor items are sourced through members of the Fair Trade Federation (www.fairtradefederation. org) and the World Fair Trade Organization (www.wfto.com), creating opportunity and resources for those people living in poverty. The Paganellis raise awareness about the countries where the products are made, and the artisans who make them, throughout their store. They founded Fair Trade Décor because of their combined passion for design and helping those in need. Products found in the store range from small carvings to furniture and include decorative items made from textiles, stone, recycled metal, wood and other natural fibers. Handmade scarves, jewelry and handbags are also available. All of the products are produced according to Fair Trade Principles as defined by the FTF and WFTO (www.fairtradeprinciples.org). These principles include: creating economic opportunity, prompt and fair pay, safe and empowering work, protection of children’s rights, environmental stewardship, respect for local culture, capacity building, transparency and raising awareness of fair trade. In many cases, Fair Trade organizations

Other Fair Trade groups reinvest in infrastructure projects, such as water, sanitation or health care in the artisans’ communities. The Paganellis were recently introduced to PCI by local resident Ellen Mitgang, and were very excited to learn of the world-class organization based in San Diego. “We hope to raise local awareness of the great work done around the world by PCI,” said Betsy. “We are honored to be partnering with Fair Trade Décor. Their mission is similar to ours in so many ways — helping people lift themselves out of poverty,” says George Guimaraes, CEO of PCI. Celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2011, PCI (Project Concern International) is an international health, development and humanitarian assistance organization, operating in 16 countries worldwide.

Caterpillar Mushroom The medicinal mushroom Cordyceps sinensis attracted the attention of Western health professionals in the 1990’s when a group of athletes from China broke several world records in track and field events. It was later determined that their diets were supplemented with this ancient “caterpillar mushroom”. This unique fungus is regarded as a supreme medicine in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and used as a rejuvenating herb to support the immune system. Its use dates back to 1700 BC and much later introduced to Europe. Use in Asia was typically reserved for the Emperors due its cost and difficulty in harvesting from its high Himalayan habitat. It has been held in the East as a premier herb along with ginseng as tonic for male sexual energy. It is eaten as a whole food in soups as well as cooked with meats. Most often used to treat low energy it is also used for treatment of cough and strengthening the respiratory system. Like many TCM herbs it has other organ specific applications and is also used to support kidney chi energy. Modern investigation into its many medicinal compounds has verified properties that support the traditional use as an adaptogen and the ability to increase oxygen levels in the blood as well as strengthen the heart.

Love, loss and laughter converge in Globe’s ‘Be a Good Little Widow’ BY DIANA SAENGER The loss of loved ones is inevitable throughout life, but the experience can sometimes be made easier when we can laugh again or really understand our pain. Playwright Bekah Brunstetter explores this theme in the touching, quirky comedy, “Be a Good Little Widow,” directed by Hal Brooks for its West Coast premiere at the Old Globe Theatre. Melody (Zoë Winters) has recently experienced the best of times and the worst of times. She’s newly married and becomes a widow shortly thereafter when Craig (Ben Graney) dies. Also grieving over the loss is her Melody’s mother-in-law, Hope (Christine Estabrook), who takes on the role of comforter and mentor even though deep inside she’s mourning as well. Estabrook said she was excited to jump back into a stage play after filming a television pilot. She said “Be a Good Little Widow” is intense, but the script also has humor, and she found it somewhat cathartic. “I don’t have any children of my own, and when you play a role like this you realize what you’ve missed (motherhood), even though I have two wonderful step-children,” she said. “I think the story will help people to understand mothers better, because this woman (Hope) has the best intentions of what she’s trying to do for Melody.” For Hope, the situation is doubly difficult. She’s spent years mourning the death of Craig’s father, and now she must grieve for her son’s death, while also leading Melody through the sorrow and the drastic change in her life. “Hope is tightly wound but she has the best idea of the way to approach someone in this situation because she’s had a lot of experience,” Estabrook said. “She also wants her son’s memory to be honored in a certain way … Melody wants to raise

duce San Diego audiences to the voices that will shape the next period in the American theater, and Bekah’s is surely one of those.”

him up as a guy – what he liked to eat, and more about his normal life. It’s grand versus individual, and that’s where Hope and Melody butt heads. It’s so unlikely they will ever get along … but we find solace in the strangest bedfellows.” Of the playwright, the Globe’s new artistic director Barry Edelstein said, “One of this theater’s most important jobs is to intro-

Vitners Dinner that supports the Village with a spilt of the costs. Pacifica is also a paid sponsor for each Holiday Village event, and Pacifica sponsors locals schools, including Torrey Pines High School and the booster clubs. Elsewhere in the Plaza, Dan Schreiber, the owner of the Chinese eatery Del Mar Rendezvous, says business is “growing, thanks to the very loyal and wonderful regular guests and the friends and family that they continue to introduce to our restaurant.” New incentives include introducing gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan menus, completing a $400,000 remodel two years ago, and “constantly reinvesting in the restaurant.” In addition, Schreiber is making a constant push to give back to the community, including donating food to local events (up to $15,000 worth last year alone), and even a park bench. Del Mar Rendezvous offers Half-Priced Beer and Sake Tuesday, a loyalty program and more. The Plaza Level remains home to the restaurants Pacifica Del Mar; Il Fornaio and Enoteca Del Fornaio; and to apparel purveyors Peaches En Regalia; Chico’s; Gerhard; Gary’s Studio; White House/Black Market; and Loghman Jewelers. World-renowned photographer Michael Seewald, a long-time tenant, has relocated his gallery into the Plaza Level adjacent to new tenant and fine artist Erik Skoldberg. Skoldberg’s grand opening was marked with over 300 fans of yoga convening within the Plaza Deck area for a mass yoga-in that benefited Jeans4Justice, a charity that helps prevent sexual violence. P.S. Platinum Properties has recently moved into the Market Level, joining Ooh La La, a ladies fashion boutique; Del Mar Nails and Spa; Del Mar Chocolate Bar; Haim, Ltd., a full-service salon; Shimbashi Izakaya, a sushi and sake bar; and the Pacifica Breeze Café. The Street Level comprises restaurants Smashburger and Del Mar Rendezvous; Banana Republic; Sunglass Hut; Folio, a showroom and kitchen design studio; Urban Girl Accessories; San Diego Surf Company; and Del Mar Art Center. With the Del Mar Plaza at 29 percent vacant it allows the opportunity to bring new excitement and endeavors are underway to achieve full capacity, said Maher. “Our vision is in keeping with our overall leasing efforts to create a ‘special gathering place’ for everyone to enjoy,” said Maher.

“The never-enoughs didn’t take time for themselves, they didn’t feel they had that their life reflected their priorities, they didn’t have time for hobbies or friends and generally were less satisfied,” she said, however, they typically made more money. After sifting through these interviews, Temple came to two conclusions, which are the big messages in the book. • The first, she said, is that doing your best is not the same as being the best. “I think a lot of people confuse those two. They think of … who looks the best, who works out the most, who makes the best meals for their (families), who only lets their kids eat food grown in the garden,” she said. “People have taken motherhood to such a competitive level these days, it’s like an Olympic event.” • The other message is, don’t chase some else’s definition of success. “You have to choose for yourself what success looks like and it probably won’t look like the success of your co-worker or neighbor or best friend. There are so many ways to be a good mom and … the way that they choose is probably the right way for them,” she said. One way for moms to re-

lieve some of the pressure to be perfect is to choose, and focus on, their own priorities. Drawing from her own life, Temple said she is not crafty, she doesn’t knit and never will, but she likes to cook. “That’s what I prioritize.” She said people ask her what they should do to have better work-life balance. “Moms should not feel that it’s selfish to take care of themselves,” she often replies. “I hear that again and again – I’ll ask moms ‘When do you get time to relax?’ and a common answer is ‘the dentist chair.’ That’s not enough you time, you deserve more than that, you can’t be the kind of mom and the kind of professional you want to be if you don’t take time to recharge.” Giving what she considers adequate time for herself, her job and her children has helped her feel successful. She said she is constantly working on feeling successful in the one thing she considers most important, “I feel strongly that my kids are only going to be little once and I want to be there.” “Good Enough Is The New Perfect: Finding Happiness and Success in Modern Motherhood” is available on Amazon. com and was written by Temple and Becky Beaupre Gillespie.

These womanly foods are for Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day and always The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Since moms are so precious to us, the best gift we can give them on their special day is a list of foods to keep our gal pals healthy, happy, youthful and sexy. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a primer on fabulous female foods for all ages to relish on Motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Day and throughout the year.

of anti-aging. Romaine lettuce, the Vitamin A king of leafy greens, will also rev up skin cell turn over to rejuvenate skin and give a luminous radiance. Rich in Vitamin K, these luscious leaves will reduce bone loss to help keep the jaw and chin line youthful. If you love nuts, pop a selenium-rich Brazil or some Vitamin E-packed raw almonds in your lunchbox to ward off free radical cell damage. To keep the skin hydrated and flush impurities from your body drink plenty of water (6-8 glasses a day). For a more palatable swig, add a splash of pomegranate juice or float some cucumber slices on top. Also, eat waterpacked foods (like watermelon and honeydews) to plump up those thirsty cells.

Skin savers Women want to keep that youthful glow and taut complexion. Some choice foods make natureâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best plastic surgeons like guava, a tropical collagen factory that helps build and plump up skin cells. Whip up a guava smoothie for mom, guava gazpacho (see recipe below) or feta and roasted guava salad for a daily dose

Bone health As women age (especially as they turn the corner at 50), they should boost their calcium-rich food intake to keep bones strong and ward off dreaded osteoporosis. To this end, nothing beats sardines and wild-caught salmon (preferably canned in pure olive oil with calciumrich skin and bones intact), low-fat dairy, dark leafy

greens â&#x20AC;&#x201D; kale, spinach, chard and collards â&#x20AC;&#x201D; calcium-fortified orange juice and enriched grains. Vitamin D has been an invaluable ally to bones in helping absorb calcium from the gut. Pumping iron Menstruating women require more iron than postmenopausal ones, while women generally need more iron than men. To pump iron into your diet (to prevent anemia) the best sources include dark leafy greens, beans and legumes (like chickpeas and lentils), dried apricots, mollusks (scallops, clams), egg yolks and artichokes. Digestion aids To dial-up digestion and the immune system add probiotic warriors that contain beneficial gut bacteria to your diet, like high-powered yogurt with a mother lode of live cultures or goat dairy or kefir, a refreshing fermented dairy that resembles a yoghurt-type beverage packed with billions of colony-forming units to keep the tummy tame. Bladder matters Cranberries are a girlâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s bladderâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best friend. This tart little cousin to the

mighty blueberry is rife with Vitamins A, B, C and K, a slew of minerals, antioxidants, and especially proanthocyanidins with anti-adhesion properties that prevent and treat pesky urinary tract infections. Drink cranberry juice straightup to pack the most potent antibacterial punch, or blend in muffins or scones, chutneys, salads or raw trail mixes. Breast health A womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best arsenal against breast cancer: Vitamin D-rich foods (organic eggs, milk, mackerel, salmon, sardines and cod liver oil); a 15-minute daily dose of sunâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rays; omega-3 rich flaxseed, walnuts, sunflower and sesame seeds; and cruciferous warriors (broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts, turnip greens and cabbage). Green and black teas contain antioxidants called polyphenols, which are also thought to prevent cancer cells from dividing. Heart smart Seafoods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, along with seaweed and other oceanic veggies, are heart-loving treasure troves. Look for supplies of wild-caught, deep sea, cold-water fish like

Seeds and nuts are omega-3 powerhouses, too, for those who donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t do fish, while olive and sesame seed oils are best for the heart.

BRAIN continued from page B1 challenge will be creating computer programs that can analyze tremendous amounts of data gathered from observations of brain function. Ralph Greenspan, a researcher at UCSD who serves as associate director of the university’s Kavli Institute for Brain and Mind — one of 16 such academic institutes funded by the Kavli Foundation — attended the London meeting in 2011 and recalled that scientists talked for two days without making much progress. Then George Church, a researcher who worked on the Human Genome Project, said he had heard his colleagues discuss what they could do, but not what they dreamed of doing if they had the right technology. “That started the really lively conversation,” Greenspan said. A neuroscientist said he wanted to be able to record the activity of every neuron, or nerve cell, in the brain (estimated at 100 billion) at the same time. Current technology, said Greenspan, allows scientists to monitor and record about 100 neurons at a

time. “We decided this was a great idea,” said Greenspan, whose own research involves studying the brains of fruit flies, which contain about 130,000 neurons. “The idea is this will spur the development of some useful technologies,” Greenspan said. Terry Sejnowski, a researcher at the Salk Institute who also has been involved with the brain mapping project, wrote in an email, “The investment being made over the next 15 years in the BRAIN Initiative will create new industrial activity that will rival the biotech industry.” Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, will be one of the leaders of the BRAIN Initiative. Along with the federal money proposed by Obama, private organizations have also pledged resources: $60 million annually from the Allen Institute for Brain Science; $30 million per year from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute; $4 million per year for 10 years from the Kavli Foundation; and $28 million from the Salk Institute.

MARKET continued from page B4 ager: longtime Del Mar resident Rita Meier. A longtime community member who’s been shopping at the Del Mar Farmers Market since its beginnings, Meier said she brings a customer perspective to the market, whereas the market manager position has traditionally been filled by vendors and farmers who often work at other markets as well. Meier, who knows a lot of people in the Del Mar area, “has her finger on the pulse of what the Del Mar customer wants,” Holliday said. According to Meier, that means no crafts — just food — and a balance between food farmers and vendors — which serve a variety of food, including French, Italian, Japanese, Indian and Mexican. “Some markets have gone to a lot more crafts, but we want to keep it a farmers market … It’s certified.,” Meier said, adding that the addition of a few tables and seats in front of the TV station is in the works and awaiting city approval. “We want to people to stay and enjoy lunch on the property, not just buy their things and go.” For more information, visit www.delmarfarmersmarket.org.
