Residents call for return of Del Mar’s chief lifeguard BY JOE TASH Some Del Mar residents are calling for the city to reinstate Patrick Vergne, the city’s popular chief lifeguard and director of community services, who was placed on paid administrative leave at the end of March amid a personnel investigation involving his department. Residents have circulated a petition calling for Vergne’s reinstatement, which had been signed by about 200 people as of Monday, July 10. About a dozen residents also spoke out in support of Vergne at Monday’s City Council meeting. Vergne has worked for Del Mar for about 40 years, according to his attorney, Del Mar resident

Dan Crabtree. “He is the perfect example of what a public servant should be,” Vince Askey told the council. Maggie McCracken, a physician, said she has known Vergne since both were on the cross-country team at Torrey Pines High School. She said she has observed Del Mar’s chief lifeguard during several emergencies at the beach. “Pat is amazingly calm and professional as well as kind. That quality is so important.” Del Mar resident Robin Crabtree reminded the council that citizens are at the top of the city’s organizational chart. SEE LIFEGUARD, A27

Carmel Valley equestrian center Panel answers questions on proposed to transition to senior care facility police department BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Four hours of meticulous inquiry answered a litany of questions burning at the core of Del Mar’s heated debate over creating its own police force, but the city council will hold off on deciding its next step until August. In the much-anticipated forum on Monday, July 10, the council hosted a four-person panel made up of two representatives from the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department — Assistant Sheriff Mike Barnett and Capt. John Maryon, head of the North Coastal station, which oversees Encinitas, Del Mar, Solana Beach and unincorporated areas — George Rawson, a consultant with a 34-year law enforcement career, including chief of police in Carmel by the Sea, and Adam Chase, Del Mar’s sole ranger. Over the four-hour span, councilmembers peppered the panel with more than 100 questions, covering everything from deployment logistics to operational costs to legal liability to trends in Del Mar crime. After the exhaustive inquiry — and a spat over whether to attempt a community survey — the SEE POLICE, A24

The equestrian center has been on Old Carmel Valley Road for the last 15 years, situated on open space near Cathedral Catholic High School. The new proposed senior living community is being led by SRM Development, a Spokane, Washington-based, real estate developer that specializes in high population growth markets, building multi-family or retirement communities. According to Jim Rivard, SRM managing principal, the company has been an active developer in San Diego over the last 15 years. In San Diego, they were one of the first developers to build a multi-family project in the East Village in 2002, the Entrada. They also developed the Market Street Village Albertsons — at the time it was only the second grocery store in downtown San Diego and one of

Solana Beach takes new route to transportation fees BY PHIL DIEHL Solana Beach has approved a new fee that will spread the cost of future transportation projects across all new development — an approach rarely, if ever, taken by cities in California. The change will add $15,714 to the cost of a new single-family home and $11,206 for each new apartment in Solana Beach. The fee also will be applied on a square-footage basis to new commercial and industrial development. In all it should generate roughly $19 million — the amount the city estimates it will need to pay for bike lanes, pedestrian paths and other improvements needed to accommodate increased traffic. Other cities typically wrap transportation fees into broader developer fees that are unique to each project based on size, location, and how it would impact local infrastructure. The new methodology

Councilwoman Ginger Marshall and San Diego Building Industry Association representative Michael McSweeney voiced the only opposition to the fee when

the City Council approved the measure on June 28. “It will have a very chilling effect on bringing new development to town,” McSweeney said, adding that each fee piled on by local municipalities adds to the high cost of housing in the region. “Developers pay the fees, but those costs become part of whatever the projects are, and those go on to the end SEE FEES, A26

A man wearing headphones was killed in Del Mar July 7 after being hit by a train. On July 7 at about 4:04 p.m., deputies from the North Coastal Sheriff’s Transit Enforcement Unit responded to a Coaster train vs. pedestrian collision. The collision occurred on the bluffs near 13th Street and Stratford Court in Del Mar, according to a San Diego County Sheriff’s Department news release. A southbound Coaster train was traveling at approximately 50 miles per hour when an

adult male was observed walking southbound along the tracks. The engineer sounded the train’s horn multiple times, but the male failed to yield due to wearing headphones. The train was unable to stop and subsequently struck the male. The male was pronounced deceased at the scene, the news release reported. Anyone with information about this case can call the Sheriff’s Department’s non-emergency line at (858) 565-5200.

Brothers in Recovery

Two Torrey Pines graduates overcome addictions, open rehab center BY KAREN BILLING After battling the disease of addiction for many years, Torrey Pines High School graduates and brothers Michael and Rob Weir have turned their lives around and are now committed to helping others do the same. Along with partner Wesley Heim, the brothers recently opened Immersive Recovery, a drug and alcohol treatment center for men in San Marcos. “Obviously we put our parents through hell,” Michael said of their struggles with addiction that began as teenagers. “Our parents are incredibly happy that we are making an impact on other people’s lives. When we decided to get clean, it made a huge impact on our family dynamic, we are more bonded and cohesive than we have ever been.” “When we get a guy come to us with nothing and we get to see him get clean and start to work and engage with life, rebuild relationships and move forward in a positive way, that’s really rewarding,” Rob said. The brothers have been working in the recovery field since 2013, when Michael and Heim established a community of structured sober living homes throughout San Diego County called First Step. With Immersive Recovery, they have crafted a high level of care that specializes in “meeting clients where they are.” The individualized care is designed to address and effectively treat the disease of addiction while simultaneously establishing a lifestyle of recovery. Immersive Recovery offers individual, group and family sessions, solution-focused therapy, behavioral therapy, exposure-based outings and activities, life skills training and after care, such as sober living placement and career counseling. The Weir brothers are nationally-certified recovery coaches and their staff includes clinical and medical directors, physicians and outside counselors to guide clients through

Michael and Rob Weir of Immersive Recovery the individual therapy process. The men are reaching a demographic they once fit into — guys with a combination of failure to launch syndrome and chemical dependency. The Weirs said they are proof that drug and alcohol addiction is a non-discriminatory disease. “Just because you live in an affluent area doesn’t mean you’re exempt from suffering from addiction,” Rob said, noting that, sadly, between them they have lost several friends from Torrey Pines High School to drug overdoses. “There’s an epidemic right now,” Michael said. “Opioid abuse is killing more people than ever and it’s really

important we have a strong, quality programs to address the underlying issues.” The brothers said they began drinking and experimenting with drugs in an effort to be a part of the “party scene” at Torrey Pines. “I felt like a normal Torrey Pines kid. It’s just what everyone was doing,” said Rob, who graduated in 2004. Michael said he started with alcohol but was doing cocaine by the time he was a sophomore. “It was the social norm. It was nothing to wake up on a Saturday morning with a hangover,” Michael said. Soon their partying extended into the week days. All of that experimenting and trying to be part of the “in crowd” created bad habits of habitual drug and alcohol abuse for Rob. By the time he landed at University of Colorado at Boulder, he was in a downward spiral that led him to abuse Xanax, OxyContin and opiates. Michael, 30, graduated from Torrey Pines in 2005 and also got deep into opiate abuse. He attended Mira Costa College briefly, but his drinking and drug use soon became his full-time job. “My addiction was so strong I needed to use every day to not get sick,” Mike said. “It becomes entirely possessive and that’s where the issue lies. With addiction, there is nothing else in life but that. It’s rough.” In time, they found their own bottoms. Rob got sober at 25 and Michael at age 26. Their experiences in clinical treatment facilities and programs helped inform what Immersive Recovery needed to be. “We need to be getting guys engaged with their passions, hobbies and interests to give them reasons to stay sober,” Rob said “By creating small, measurable successes, it builds SEE RECOVERY, A27

Q&A: Female university pioneers past and present BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Over four decades as a university administrator, Marvalene Hughes amassed one of the most storied careers in the nation, blazing trails that few women of color had been down before — or have since. One of her most landmark positions came when she was appointed president of California State University-Stanislaus in 1994, becoming only the second African-American woman to earn the distinction in the CSU system. Hughes left Stanislaus in 2005 to lead Dillard University, a historically black college in New Orleans, until her retirement in 2011. Ellen Junn, CSU-Stanislaus’s current president, came to Hughes’ Del Mar home for two days at the end of June to finally meet her storied predecessor and soak up as much institutional memory as possible. The two talked about the long road they both faced as pioneers in their profession, especially in fundraising, closing the achievement gap for minority students, reaching underrepresented populations and reviving initiatives that faded after Hughes left Stanislaus. Capping the visit off, the two coordinated plans to get the Hughes back to the Stanislaus campus one more time: Junn has decided to commemorate the reflecting pond at the school’s main entrance in Hughes’ honor. The Del Mar Times joined the two women over a cup of tea on June 26. Answers below have been edited for length and clarity. DMT: Last year marked a milestone for the

Ellen Junn, president of California State University-Stanislaus, visits with her accomplished predecessor Marvalene Hughes in Hughes’ Del Mar home last month. CSU system: of five presidencies that opened up, five women were appointed to the posts. Does it feel like a turning point? Junn: When Marvalene was there, she was one of only two women out of the 21 presidents. Today we have 11 out of 23. It is unprecedented in any university system in the nation. It feels amazing. Marvalene can tell you what it’s like to be in a room full of trustees who are all white males. Having more women and a larger age range has made the discussion richer and more authentic and more spontaneous.

Hughes: And far less stressful, I’m sure. Junn: Oh yes. Hughes: It was a very lonely place to be. DMT: Dr. Hughes, what was it like to try to get your ideas forward, surrounded by that stark demographic, and represent the school the way you wanted to represent it? Hughes: I was very fortunate to have been at SDSU when affirmative action was introduced. In an academic institution and culture, for women to come in mandating equality, both as students and administrators, was just an amazing political

time. SDSU while I was there created the first women’s studies program in the nation. It created the image for the rest of the country. I wasn’t in women’s studies, but I was very connected those women and I was able to carry out their agenda in interesting ways because I was on the administrative team. It was a time that was a changing political climate for the CSUs and for universities everywhere. Once I became president at Stanislaus, the CSU system didn’t know quite what to do with the fact that they had these two women presidents, but I am so blessed to be a part of it. It was a life-changing experience. Junn: She was a pioneer, a true pioneer forging a path. DMT: When you’re on campus now, Dr. Junn, do you see a lasting impact? Junn: Yes, especially in terms of the physical landscape. When she started as president, there were only two buildings on campus. So nearly all of the buildings now are there as result of her vision and her extraordinary fundraising ability. She really set the landscape and then grew the programs. We now have nearly 70 degree programs. She really did set the stage and was critical in making that campus a successful and strong presence in the Central Valley. We have a branch in Stockton due to her vision. That was a satellite that she saw as having an important role in the university.

BY JOSHUA EMERSON SMITH For the first time, residents and businesses up and down the state can buy electricity plans touted as “100 percent green” in their quest to fight climate change or simply be more environmentally friendly. They can enroll in these programs through California’s three major investor-owned utilities — San Diego Gas & Electric, Southern California Edison and Pacific Gas & Electric — or through the growing number of cities and counties that offer alternative power programs called community choice aggregation, or CCA. Does this mean all the electricity flowing into those customers’ homes and offices is created with renewable energy? No. When residents pay a roughly $5 to $10 premium on top of the average monthly bill to get a 100 percent green plan, the

Almost all of that green power comes from existing inventory, which is mixed with electricity generated from fossil fuels, and the situation isn’t expected to undergo a transformation until far more people enroll in 100 percent plans. Whether that explosion in demand takes

years or decades to realize remains to be seen. “It doesn’t mean that when a customer signs up for 100 percent green, there’s a crew overnight wailing away and putting together another 6 kilowatts of solar somewhere. It’s an administrative process,” said Bill Powers of San Diego, an electrical engineering consultant and a consumer advocate. SEE GREEN, A26

Wounded warrior climbs mountains to raise funds for prosthetic care BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Off in the back corner of the CrossFit Del Mar gym as he and a dozen others power through a workout — named in memory of an Army sergeant killed in Iraq in 2004 — Kionte Storey pushes himself back and forth through a circuit of exercises — relentlessness bordering on obsession, teetering on the brink of exhausted collapse. He hunches over after a set of heaving a medicine ball 15 feet up the gym’s back wall, takes a fleeting pause, then throws his finely-tuned physique upside down into a set of inverted pushups. He will not let himself stop. This is what keeps the darkness at bay. Seven years ago, when he was a 21-year-old Marine Lance Corporal deployed in Afghanistan, an improvised explosive device ripped away the bottom half of his right leg. Physical recovery took a matter of months. Mental and emotional battles are always raging. “Everything that I’m doing today, if I had not remained active I would sink back into that dark depression and that feeling of being lost,” he said after the Friday, July 7 workout. “It’s how I’ve been able to keep moving forward.” So much of Storey’s climb out of that darkness came in the Sorrento Valley gym. When Mark Marek —himself a veteran — and his wife, Esther, opened CrossFit Del Mar in 2011, they welcomed in wounded warriors recovering at Naval Medical Center San Diego in Balboa Park. Storey was one of those who took advantage, using CrossFit to pull himself

The gym donated $1,200 for Storey’s quest to raise funds for prosthetics for underprivileged amputees. from the abyss of dread and self-loathing into which he had plummeted. Within two years he was training full-time to qualify for the Paralympics as a sprinter. He faltered that year but did not waver, setting his sights on Rio 2016. After again meeting disappointment, he mounted a bid this spring — perhaps his last — to make it to the World ParaAthletics

Championships in London, but the increasingly fierce competition outraced him to Team USA’s spots. He would not let himself stop. He shifted his focus to the Range of Motion Project (ROMP) — an international nonprofit focused on developing prosthetic technologies in underserved countries — and

embarked on a campaign that will take him at the end of this month to Ecuador, where he and a ROMP team will climb nearly 19,000 feet to the top of the Cayambe volcano. Every $400 he raises will pay for someone’s prosthetic. “I love giving back and I love motivating people, so that became my purpose — and even the reason why I’m still alive today,” he says. “ROMP really resonated with me personally because I believe in giving back, especially when it comes to prosthetic care and hopefully being able to give people their independence back, just like my prosthetic gives me my independence today.” So when Esther Marek and co-owner Nicole Zapoli presented him with a $1,200 donation on Friday, gratitude overcame his characteristic shyness. With that check and another $3,000 he raised last month by conquering the 5-Peak Challenge at Mission Trails Regional Park, he’ll be able to give prosthetics to 10 people — more than twice his original goal. Of course he’s not stopping there. After Ecuador, he’s heading to Tanzania to climb the legendary Mt. Kilimanjaro. And as his 30th birthday approaches fast over the horizon, he’s looking to summit a new challenge: transitioning into school to pursue his dream of becoming a physical therapist. But for now, his focus is on the literal mountain ahead. “There’s nothing I can’t do,” he said. “I’ve proven that to myself already.” Learn more at www.crossfitdelmar.com.

quickly. She said high interest in hiking Volcan Mountain was also likely due to it being named one of the 10 best hikes in the county. While challenge participants do not need to go on a guided hike, Boaz said they are “an opportunity to join people who are knowledgeable and can let them know about the biodiversity of the plants and animals at the locations.” Boaz said all the hikes are likely doable for ages 12 and up, ranging from easy to strenuous, but people need to take safety precautions. Norton said she advises hikers to start out early in the morning, especially in the summer before the temperature gets too hot. Also, hike with a buddy and be aware of rattlesnakes. “In terms of safety, the number one concern is ... having enough water,” Boaz added. She said at a minimum people should bring with them 20 ounces (2.5 cups) of water per mile they plan to hike. “Have fun,” Boaz added, saying the river park’s Coast to Crest Trail — spanning a 70 mile stretch between Del Mar to Julian — “should not be the best kept secret in San Diego.” The challenge’s trails are: ■ The Volcan Mountain trail’s free guided hike on July 8 is sold-out, but SEE HIKERS, A24

Local Girl Scout volunteers with sea turtle conservation projects in Panama Kendra Kleber, a 16-year-old member of the U.S. Girl Scouts of Del Mar recently embarked upon the 14-day Scuba & Sea Turtle Adventure Destination with Outward Bound Costa Rica. Alongside Girl Scouts from all over the country, she traveled to Panama to participate in the conservation efforts of endangered sea turtles and to explore the archipelago of Bocas del Toro while learning to scuba dive. In the San San Pond Sak wetlands, on the Caribbean coast of Panama, Kendra and her USGSA group participated in a multi-day service project to help the endangered leatherback sea turtle population, working with local biologists to build habitats, catalogue nests, measure, weigh and release hatchlings and perform night patrols to protect mama turtles as they lay their eggs. Kendra and her fellow Girl Scouts then traveled to the remote island of Solarte, located in the Bocas del Toro Archipelago, where they learned about the area’s diverse ecology and exotic marine life. From the island basecamp, Kendra and her group earned their NAUI SCUBA Open Water Certification and participated in a once-in-a-lifetime night dive through bioluminescent waters. “I’m really proud of how we worked together because through the whole trip we were all really supportive,” said Kendra of her experience. “Outward Bound Costa Rica’s programs,

Del Mar History: Were you at Powerhouse Park Tuesday night? Did you know that... The Del Mar Foundation’s first Twilight Concert was held in 1982. Originally a six-concert series, these open-air performances were performed in Seagrove Park every other Monday night. As today, locals would gather with their beach chairs, blankets and picnic dinners and enjoy a free concert overlooking the ocean. If you attended this past week’s concert, in spite of 35 years of growth, you would agree that it is still life in paradise! Thanks to Nancy Ewing and her book Del Mar Looking Back for all the good history.

Local duo make Brekki their big break BY PAM KRAGEN hile training for an ultra-marathon in Australia a few years back, Russell Radebaugh discovered an oats, milk and grain breakfast dish that was not only healthy but kept him full for hours. Three years later, Radebaugh, 35, and his longtime friend and now partner, Greg Peyser, 33, launched Brekki, a new Carlsbad company that manufactures an adapted version of that dish, which is known as Bircher muesli, or overnight oats. Brekki — inspired by the Australian slang word for breakfast — is a mix of rolled oats, almond milk, grains, seeds, nuts and fresh fruit. It sells for $2.99 per 6-ounce refrigerated tub and can be found in the refrigerated section at 16 Whole Foods markets in Southern California. Peyser said the feedback he and Radebaugh are getting from customers has been encouraging. “People taste it and say ‘it’s good’ and they can’t believe it’s non-dairy because it’s so creamy,” Peyser said. “Seeing how the product resonates with people, that’s the golden ticket for us.” Radebaugh and Peyser met a decade ago when they were both college lacrosse players. Radebaugh grew up in Maryland and after college went to work in marketing for the Campbell Soup Co. in Philadelphia. Peyser is originally from New York and has a background in the credit and food industries. Five years ago, he and his wife, Whitney, started a company distributing organic produce in San Diego. The following year, the organic juice company Suja bought the Peysers’ company and hired him to serve as Suja’s director of procurement. In August 2015, Radebaugh joined Suja as the company’s director of marketing. Once Peyser and Radebaugh — who both live in Encinitas — were working under the same roof at Suja, they started talking about one day starting their own company. That’s when Radebaugh brought up Bircher meusli, which he first tasted in 2014 during that visit to his wife, Michelle’s, native Australia. Australians didn’t invent Bircher meusli. It was a mush created in the 1800s by Swiss doctor and nutritionist Maximilian Bircher-Benner as a way to get more raw fruit into the diets of his sanitorium patients. To soften the uncooked oats and grains, they were traditionally soaked overnight in milk or cream. Every weekend for more than a year, Radebaugh and Peyser experimented with different recipes. They decided to use almond milk instead of cow’s milk so it could be sold as a dairy-free, vegan product. They also worked for months to find just the right combination of ingredients for creaminess and consistency. Besides oats, Brekki is made with buckwheat, chia and flax seeds, puffed amaranth grain, sea salt and coconut syrup. The product has about 300 calories with as little as 7 grams of sugar per serving. In January, they flew to the Winter Fancy Foods Show in San Francisco, where they met with a buyer for Whole Foods. Radebaugh said the timing of their

PAM KRAGEN/SAN DIEGO UNION-TRIBUNE

Russell Radebaugh, left, and Greg Peyser of Brekki hold different flavors of their Australian-inspired overnight oatmeal product, which is sold at select Whole Foods stores in Southern California. meeting was ideal because in the year they’d been working on their formula, the popularity of overnight oats exploded in America. Recipes and photos began turning up on Instagram and Pinterest and companies like Starbucks began developing their own overnight oats products. “They did all the heavy lifting for us when it came to product awareness,” Radebaugh said. While the entrepreneurs were confident about their product, they were stunned when Whole Foods contacted them in March with a product order. At the time, they had no office or manufacturing site. But rather than miss the opportunity, they resigned from Suja and rented a “makers” space, where they could have a front office, a manufacturing space and, eventually a retail space, at Carlsbad Gateway Center. Just six weeks later, the first cases of Brekki overnight oats rolled off the assembly line. Up until a few weeks ago, the partners have been doing everything themselves from making the product to in-store demonstrations. The face-to-face interaction with customers has been enlightening, Peyser said, because it helped them find a new market niche. “We’ve seen a great opportunity with health-conscious parents,” said Peyser. “My wife and I are working parents with two kids and we don’t feel bad peeling the seal on this product and giving it to the kids in the morning.” So far, they’ve shipped about 80 cases of their product, but they expect that to grow quickly. Recently, Whole Foods expanded its test market for the product from 11 to 16 stores. Peyser said sales tracking shows the product is growing in sales each week. Brekki is available in four flavors: original, strawberry, raspberry and blueberry. Radebaugh said they’re looking to eventually add some tropical flavors like coconut. They’re also considering some savory flavors, like cardamom or turmeric, so Brekki can become an all-day snack. “We think there’s a market for it,” Radebaugh said, “but people need to get eased into it.” Brekki sells for $2.99 for a 6-ounce portion.

Breeders' Cup 'Art of the Horse' program statue on display at L’Auberge Del Mar As a sponsor of the Breeders’ Cup “Art of the Horse” program, L’Auberge Del Mar, has commissioned a seven-foot tall vibrant yellow, purple and orange fiberglass artistic horse created by San Diego mixed media artist Daphne Gaylord – which is now on display at the resort. Recently installed at the hotel entrance at 1540 Camino Del Mar, the life-sized 150-pound statue is called “Buttercup” and depicts an intricate hand-painted image of a woman hanging on to the horse and her hat. A sequence of stamped flowers, which Gaylord applied using a handcrafted stamp, adorn the life-sized statue. “I wanted to create something whimsical depicting the dresses and big hats of the opening day races,” said Gaylord, who spent a month-and-a-half in her Balboa Park Spanish Village Art Center studio working on the piece. “Buttercup” is part of a series of equine statues being placed around San Diego, including local communities, for the “Art of the Horse” program, created to generate enthusiasm for the Breeders’ Cup, which debuts at the Del Mar Thoroughbred Club Nov. 3 - 4. The statues are reimagined replicas of the horse atop the Breeders’ Cup trophy – a bronze reproduction of the original Torrie horse created in Florence by Giovanni da Bologna in the late 1580s. The “Art of the Horse” campaign puts the Torrie horse statues up for sponsorship with some of the Torrie horses going up

Q&A: Meet former J*Company Youth Theater producer Monica Handler Penner By María José Durán fter eight years, La Jolla resident Monica Handler Penner is passing the baton at the J*Company Youth Theater to Candice Powell. Now in its 25th season, the theater program, based at the Lawrence Family Jewish Community Center (JCC), provides performing arts opportunities to children and teens, ages 4-18, regardless of gender, religion, ethnic background, sexual orientation or economic status. A pediatrician full of positive energy and in constant motion, Monica also rescues birds and other wild animals along the coast. This mother of two, lives with her husband, five pets (three dogs and two cats), four of them with chronic illnesses.

budget and finance. Simultaneously, the JCC asked me if I would become secretary of the Center for Jewish Culture (CJC). I just passed along my position as executive producer of J*Company to a younger parent because my daughter graduated, but I continue on the board of CJC.”

Where are you from?

MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN

“My family came to San Diego in the mid-1950s. I was born at Sharp Hospital. I grew up in the El Cerro area and went to college at UCSD. But then I went to medical school at UC San Francisco, ended up living in New York for a while, then back to the Bay Area, and then I found myself raising my children in San Diego, most recently in La Jolla.”

What do you do for a living?

What’s been your contribution to the JCC?

“My training is in medicine, so I am a pediatrician, but I’ve not been working in clinical practice for quite a few years. I’ve been fortunate to be able to stay home and raise my children, but I haven’t stayed home per se, I’ve been doing other things.”

Monica Handler Penner

What are those other things?

“I was lucky enough to get a place at the table at the Wexner Heritage Program, which is a leadership fellowship. I spent three years learning how to lead the community, immersed in a Jewish lens. After that, I found myself even busier with young children at home, so I was president of the Agency for Jewish Education, and then got involved with the JCC, mainly because my daughter loved theater and she started doing plays with J*Company. Eventually, I found myself the executive producer of the company, planning the seasons, going through budgets, representing the J*Company at the JCC on

“I think it was very comforting for the JCC that a pediatrician was running their youth theater. I implemented a lot of policies (addressing lice to the flu) that were very helpful for preventing infectious diseases ... because when you have 60, 80 or 90 kids together and they’re sharing costumes … kids can get sick. We ended up really limiting the amount of kids that got sick.”

I understand you also volunteer for Project Wildlife.

“The Humane Society sent me an e-mail and said they were looking for volunteers for Project Wildlife. I was like ‘Sure!’ I roped my husband in with me, because I didn’t want to do this by myself. So we got trained on how to handle wild animals. We decided to purchase leather gloves that go up to the shoulder, because we were to handle animals as small as humming birds and as big as raptors ... owls have claws that can tear your skin off! Seagulls and the birds that you find here in La Jolla Shores can actually poke your eye out, so this is a very serious project we undertook. The animals are dropped off at various

animal hospitals. My husband and I got the beach route from Oceanside down to La Jolla. We make a stops at some of the animal hospitals on the way … we’ve brought over an owl, big animals, little ones, like a humming bird, rats, opossums. We have to get them out of their crates and put them in our crate, which is more complicated than one might imagine, because if they’re birds, they can fly around.”

What do you do for fun?

“This is all fun! I worked so hard in college to get to medical school, worked so hard at medical school to become a resident, worked 100-hour weeks as a resident … so I’m a very purposeful person. I just love to learn and I love to grow. In addition to hanging out with friends, I exercise. I’m a big fan of staying fit.”

What’s your personal life like?

“We’re a ‘blended’ family. My husband has children, and I have children, so together we’ve raised them. We feel so fortunate that we were able to fall in love a second time in life. We were both divorced and single parents, and our community introduced us and fixed us up on blind date. It’s a wonderful union, the two families get along beautifully. I have two kids and he has one. My son has finished graduate school, my daughter is about to go to college. For a lot of families, it’s a struggle to raise children, and for us, there were also challenging moments, but I feel really good because we’ve raised, together with the SEE Q&A, A24

A three-week peace-building program with 47 Israeli, Palestinian and American teens will take place in Carlsbad this summer, July 12-31, to break down the walls of conflict in the Middle East and throughout the world, according to a press release. Hands of Peace brings together high school students to build bridges and leadership skills among teens divided by conflict, culture, geography and history. Their activities take place at various locations throughout San Diego County. Now in its fourth year in Carlsbad, the Hands of Peace program empowers young people to find their voice as peace leaders, break down stereotypes and gain the knowledge and critical thinking skills to take steps toward peace in their home communities. Teen participants have undergone an extensive application process to be part of the program, showing a desire to share their perspectives, listen and work toward peace. Many of the Middle East participants have experienced violence and loss as a result of the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict and are meeting the other “side” for the first time. The central activity of the program is intensive daily dialogue sessions, led by professional facilitators, in which teens share personal stories, listen and share views about paths for peace. They also take part in educational activities, including a visit to a

church, synagogue, and mosque and a community organizing workshop. Other activities include a "Ropes Course, Hunger Van Service Project, Cross Border Teen Peace Summit and Mural Painting." Participants are hosted by local families and stay in their homes. This gives the host families an opportunity to build strong, long-lasting relationships with the teens and see conflict through the eyes of those who have experienced it firsthand. “Young people are the key to change and peace, so the transformations that we see taking place during the summer program give us hope for a better future,” says Gretchen Grad, founder of Hands of Peace. Following the summer program, Hands of Peace alumni continue to grow as peace leaders, taking part in seminars, alumni club activities, and a year-long leadership program to implement community projects in their home communities. Currently, San Diego teens are working on a program focusing on tolerance. Israeli and Palestinian teens are working on a number of activities, including a dialogue project between a Jewish school and nearby school of Palestinian Citizens of Israel, programs for hospitalized children in Haifa, awareness building of differently abled people in the West Bank and more.

Carmel Valley students teach refugee children how to make paper planes, crowns and bottle rockets

n July 8, students from the San Diego Branch of the Alliance of Youth Leaders in the United States (AYLUS) met with refugee children from Ethiopia, Somalia and Cambodia at the soccer field of Ibarra Elementary School in San Diego. The Camel Valley students showed the refugee children how to make paper planes, crowns and bottle rockets. The children of refugees had such a great time with the San Diego students that they wanted to play with them all day. (The photos shown on this page were taken at the event.) San Diego resettles more refugees than any other city in the U.S., about 3,000 per year, according to a press release. For many people, the thought of fleeing home and

starting life over in a completely different culture where they don’t know the language is unthinkable. Yet, families granted access to the U.S. as refugees are grateful for the opportunity to begin a new life in this country. For many, it means hope after years of despair. However, refugees and immigrants of many types enter the U.S. with hope for a new life, but lack knowledge of the legal, monetary, social, educational and transportation systems that are the basic building blocks of life here. The students who led the events are Stephen Yang, Amanda Zhang, Mike Bai, Jeffrey Guo, Nathan Guo, Eric Li, Andrew Peng, Jessica Trost, Joshua Trost, Neon Wang, Richard Wu, and Christopher Yang.

Local martial arts students earn big wins at World Championship BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY Local martial arts students are showing off some serious gear after they were named champions at the ATA International World Expo in Little Rock, Ark., last month. More than a dozen young competitors from the Encinitas and Carmel Valley-based Church's ATA Martial Arts placed in various competitions and won medals at the event held June 20-25. The children, ranging between 2 and 18 years old, train between two and seven hours a day for seven days a week, said Trish Church, chief instructor and owner. "They live at the studio," Church joked. "There's no better place to be than at the studio for your daughters. Lock them in and throw away the key." On July 7, some of the competitors — young girls between the ages of 8 and 11 — showed off their moves during an interview at the center's Carmel Valley location. The girls said martial arts teaches them to work hard for their goals. "It gives you a lot of confidence and builds relationships with friends," said 11-year-old Grace Dabir, who began training when she was 4. "They're like all my little sisters." Grace won in the 9 through 10 age division in traditional forms.

Channah Zeitung, 9, said she feels like her hard work has paid off. The girl — who began practicing martial arts at age 2 after switching over from ballet — won four world titles in the 8 and under division (she turned 9 after the competition), including traditional weapons, creative forms, creative weapons and extreme weapons. After Channah won, it was like a "chain reaction" for the other girls to also win in their categories, Church said.

Students won in categories such as creative forms, traditional forms, creative weapons and extreme weapons. Church, who estimates she has nearly 700 students between her two studios, said she sees the "end goal," and in the studio, the girls are growing up in a safe environment. "The ultimate goal is for them to understand what it is to work hard to set goals to know that, at this age, they can achieve anything," she said. "Everybody works hard in the

Local volleyball superstar sets her sights on Texas BY ROB LEDONNE hen Lexi Sun, the top high school volleyball player in the United States, began her athletic career while still a child she originally excelled at another sport. “I grew up playing competitive soccer for Surf in Del Mar and we won back-to-back state championships,” said Sun, who was born and raised in Encinitas. “That was until I was 11 years old. I was a head taller than all of my friends when my parents forced me to try volleyball. At first I was furious. I didn’t want to leave my team that I had grown up playing with, but my parents promised me that if I tried volleyball and didn’t like it, they’d let me go back to soccer.” Sun begrudgingly agreed, but it turned out that her parents had the right idea. In the decade since that fateful shift from soccer to volleyball, Sun has constructed an astounding career, collecting a multitude of accomplishments and accolades playing for both Santa Fe Christian and Team USA’s squads, and capturing national attention thanks to her skill on the court along the way. Named ALL-USA’s Player of the Year last December led ESPN to dub Sun “NCAA Volleyball’s Next Breakout Star” after the rising player signed onto the ranks of the University of Texas Longhorns, which she joins this fall. Notable from the start, Sun’s tenure at Santa Fe Christian wrapped up with the player leading her team to win the CIF Championship her senior year, which she considers her most memorable moment as

some of the top high school athletes in the country. “The head coach, Laurie Corbelli, led our team to the Norecca 2016 Championship,” says Sun of the experience. “Although we didn’t win, it was an honor to put on a USA jersey and gain experience playing against international teams.” For Sun, it was her second time with Team USA.

In the summer of 2015, the star player was the squad’s top scorer during World Championships in Peru. Those multiple once-in-an-athletic-life experiences led to Sun’s Player of the Year accolade, which ALL-USA bestowed on Sun based on in-season performance, level of competition and strength of schedule. In addition, Sun was also named Gatorade’s 2016-2017 Volleyball Player of the Year. Receiving the awards made Sun “all the more thankful for the endless support and encouragement of my family, coaches and friends who helped me get to the position I am today.” Both accolades make Sun the first incoming Longhorn recruit in 20 years to be named Player of the Year, signaling an upcoming renaissance for the team. It’ll also be the first time that Sun has lived anywhere other than her childhood home in Encinitas, but, of course, she’s up for the challenge. In fact, Sun is already in Austin and gearing up for the the upcoming season. “Even though I do miss sunny San Diego greatly, I am excited to get the opportunity to experience a new culture in Texas and make lifelong memories and friendships,” Sun said. “(Right now I’m) working out with the team and taking my first two college classes.” And, naturally, Sun is looking forward to yet another top prize. “I am beyond excited for the fall season to start to get the opportunity to play and compete for another national championship.”

In Berlin, playing in one of Germany’s most competitive youth tournaments, Baum split his

players into two teams. The first team, led by rising seniors Aaron Acosta, Sam Crespy and Tyler Elsom, along with 2017 graduates Ryan Michaels and Sawyer Lebert, won their first four games against teams from Germany and Great Britain before losing in the tournament finals 51-50 to Germany’s AB Baskets.

SDA poloist Dylan Herrera hits the right note BY GIDEON RUBIN n the surface, the skill-sets required to play competitive high school water polo and succeed in the music business don’t offer obvious similarities. Dylan Herrera, an incoming junior at San Dieguito Academy (SDA), is the first to admit that. But from his perspective, both ventures are a lot easier when you can get everyone on the same page. Herrera should know. He’s emerged as a rising star for the school’s burgeoning water polo program, and performs and manages a teen rock band, The Elements, that’s gained recognition this summer. “There’s the teamwork in both, you’ve got to listen to everyone’s critiques and make suggestions,” Herrera said. “For this little play in water polo, you could’ve done this or that, or what songs should go over here or over there, and change the order of that.” Herrera seems to be figuring it out, even when unexpected challenges come up. Herrera didn’t have much time to prepare for his varsity water polo debut. He got called up from the junior varsity at the end of the season when senior goalie Conner Dahl suffered a broken hand.

“I didn’t know until a couple of days before CIF (San Diego Section playoffs) that he wouldn’t be able to play,” Herrera said. Herrera immediately noticed a game that was faster and more physical in the Division III playoffs. “It was a lot of pressure,” Herrera said. Herrera immediately impressed. “Dylan really sort of presented himself as a leader and really stepped up his game and got a lot of confidence going into the playoffs,” SDA coach Scott Kling said. Herrera played goalie for the Mustangs for their best playoff run in school history. SDA reached the Division III finals, losing to Helix 8-6. The two teams were tied at 5-5 after three quarters. Herrera had 11 saves. Although he was still on the junior varsity team, Herrera worked with Dahl on his game, and spent some time practicing with the varsity team. “It was really helpful because everyone knows each other at San Dieguito Academy,” Herrera said. “It’s a huge family.” His rock band is a smaller family. Herrera and Julian Boyer, a Solana Beach resident, are the only full-time members of The Elements band. Boyer plans to go out for the SDA water polo team this fall. The Elements will cross-promote their music and their sport next

Water polo goalie Dylan Herrera. month at the Aquatic Games, an event created by five-time Olympian Tony Azevedo. The Elements will perform during the opening ceremonies on Aug. 2 at Cabrillo High School in Long Beach. Herrera is a relative newcomer to water polo. He was in middle school when he started playing on the suggestion of a swim instructor who noticed during lessons that he had a natural eggbeater kick, which enables poloists to stay afloat keeping their hands free. Herrera will compete next month at the Junior Olympics for the Del Mar Water Polo Club. For now, Herrera is focused on developing his game and enjoying

the moment. Playing collegiately isn’t something he thinks about much. “I just want to have fun,” Herrera said. “It would be awesome to play at the college level but it’s no big deal, it’s just really fun to play and hang out with all the guys and just build friendships. “It’d be fun to continue on but it’s just a fun hobby, it’s not like it’s my dream to play in college.” Kling believes Herrera would have a lot to offer a Division II or III program, noting the vast majority of Division water polo scholarships go to players in Los Angeles and Orange Counties. “He’s a real gamer,” Kling said. “He

takes on a challenge and sort of breaks it down and figures out how he can apply himself as best as he can, and he’s pretty tenacious, he just does not give up.” Music has been part of Herrera’s life since he was practically a toddler. He started playing piano when he was 3 and took lessons for about 10 years. Boyer is a vocalist, bassist and keyboardist. Herrera plans to study music and visual arts. He is taking sound mixing video editing classes at Mira Costa College over the summer. The Elements performed earlier this year at the Encinitas Spring Street Fair, Leucadia Battle of the Bands, Fiesta del Sol, and La Costa Valley Memorial Day BBQ. Their most recent performance was at the San Diego County Fair. “It was really exciting seeing people that you don’t even know having a good time and listening to the music and actually enjoying it,” Herrera said. “That was really fun and satisfying.” All indications are that Herrera’s hitting the right note in the pool and on the stage. “Going into the playoffs is a tall order,” Kling said. “We were asking a lot of him coming out of JV ball and he really rose to the occasion. He kind of does that with everything.”

A typical fund will not disclose what is called Transaction Costs in their load structure, and high turnover causes higher transaction costs, which eat up your investment returns.

Mutual fund companies offer multiple varieties of funds, focused on different asset classes, regions and industries and when you take the time to dig down, you’ll find that there is a real lack of transparency with regard to two things: current holdings and actual fees.

TO YOUR HEALTH

What is your skin trying to tell you? O ver the past three decades, more people have had skin cancer than all other cancers combined. The sooner skin cancer is diagnosed and treated, the greater the likelihood of a cure. An estimated one in five Americans will develop skin cancer in their lifetime, according to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD). Melanoma is one of the most common cancers to strike people younger than age 30. It accounts for only one percent of all skin cancers but causes a large majority of skin cancer deaths. The American Cancer Society’s estimates that about 87,110 new melanomas will be diagnosed in 2017.

Healthy Habits and Early Detection Can Save your Skin

There are three main types of skin cancer: basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma. Cumulative sun exposure is a major risk factor for developing the first two types of skin cancer. But acute sunburns are often linked to melanoma. Know how recognize the early signs of skin cancer, how it is treated and what you can do to help protect your skin.

Self-Check for Moles

Anyone who has ever had a sunburn is at risk

for melanoma, but genetics also play a part. People who are fair skinned or have a family history must be more alert about changes in to their skin. “Regardless of their personal risk, San Diegans should be watching for atypical moles, which tend to be multicolored and asymmetrical,” said Hubert Greenway, M.D., chairman of Mohs and dermatologic surgery at Scripps Clinic. “Problem moles are usually located on the head, neck, upper back, torso or lower legs but can be found anywhere on the skin.” Moles should be self-checked monthly. If one is darker, itchy, has ragged borders or appears to be changing, see a dermatologist. Even without symptoms, visit a dermatologist once a year for a thorough exam.

Prevent Sunburns and Protect Your Skin

In sunny Southern California, 30 SPF (Sun Protection Factor) sunscreen, or higher, should be a daily ritual. Wear wide-brimmed hats to keep sunlight off the head and neck, and sunglasses to protect your eyes and surrounding skin. “Tanning beds should be avoided. They raise the risk of melanoma and also dry the skin, causing wrinkles and premature aging,” said

Greenway. “Good fluid intake and using moisturizers provides adequate hydration to protect the skin.” Watch out for reflected light from water, sand or snow, which intensify the sun’s rays. In addition, try to stay out of the sun during the most intense hours, between 10 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Get Treatment Sooner than Later

The earlier melanoma is found, the easier it is to treat. Once the disease has spread, it becomes a serious problem. “In its earliest stages, melanoma is removed surgically. If it spreads to the lymph nodes, other therapies may be required,” said Greenway. “Advanced melanoma treatment options are limited in terms of their long-term success, but newer drugs and technologies have led to major gains in the quality of care available for melanoma patients. “The most effective way to beat skin cancer is to prevent it entirely,” said Greenway. Otherwise, early detection is the best bet. “Monthly self-exams and annual dermatologic checkups can be life-savers,” Greenway said. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff of Scripps.

FROM Q&A, A13 ex-spouses, three really happy, strong, successful (individuals). It takes a village to raise children who will do well for our future.”

What does your religion mean to you?

“It gives me a place to go — not only for community and social reasons — but also for my own personal journey. We all have challenging moments in our life, and nobody is immune to difficult times and tragedies, but I found that through my relationship with

my community and my spiritual journey, I’m able to find strength and hope in difficult times.”

What were those difficult times?

“I’ve had a couple of medical situations. I’m a (breast) cancer survivor and I was in a car accident. I was sitting in the passenger seat and was hit from behind by someone who wasn’t paying attention and I ended up with a concussion that was not healing. So through my medical experience and connections, I’ve searched for ways to get better, never let my

FROM POLICE, A1 council decided to continue the discussion on Aug. 8. Monday’s forum did open a new possibility: for the first time, the sheriff’s department reflected an openness to expanding its service in Del Mar. Their contract provides the lowest level of coverage that the sheriff’s department offers. “We can always talk about any number of things,” Asst. Sheriff Mike Barnett told the council. “… There are some hard lines that we won’t cross and there are some hard lines that you won’t either. But I’m sure that well-meaning people of good faith” can come together for a discussion. Taking that cue, the council decided to confer privately with the sheriff’s office to explore new options before next month’s meeting. Emotions have run high throughout the four years that Del Mar has studied whether to create a police force to replace and expand on policing services the city contracts with through the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department. A report from earlier this year says that a Del Mar police force would “greatly improve” response times while maintaining costs level (or slightly lower) and without exposing the city to overly risky liability.

FROM HIKERS, A8 another will be scheduled, Boaz said. The Volcan Mountain Wilderness Preserve in Julian features a 5.4-mile round-trip trail (gateway to summit) that is rated moderately strenuous while climbing from an altitude of 4,100 feet (parking area on Farmer Road) to 5,353 feet (summit). It is only open to hiking and dogs are allowed on leash. The selfie spot is the scope at the summit. Per the SDRVC, “The Volcan Mountain ridge is iconic as both the headwaters of the San Dieguito River and the highest point in the River Park (5,300 feet at the summit). Ironside Spring feeds Santa Ysabel Creek, which meets Santa Maria Creek in San Pasqual Valley to become the San Dieguito River. “The Volcan Mountain Wilderness Preserve is home to mixed conifer, oak and cedar forest, native grassland and seasonal ponds. The summit features sweeping views of Earthquake Valley and the Salton Sea to the east, and on a clear day, all the way to the ocean to the west. “Just as striking as the views from the summit is the beautiful Hubbell Gateway at the beginning of the trail.” ■ The San Dieguito Lagoon trail’s guided

cancer come back, and got myself able to think again, to do electronics again, which I couldn’t because of my concussion. It’s been two years since my accident ... they said it would be a five-year recovery. I’m maybe 98 percent better.”

How did you recover so quickly?

“In addition to traditional medicine, doing whatever they told me to do — physical therapy, balance therapy and vision therapy. I had a neurologist who’s well-versed in holistic medicine. He

recommended I go on a gluten-free diet to get better from the concussion, which debilitated me. I ended up getting 50-60 percent improvement in 48 hours on a gluten-free diet! So I said to myself, ‘why?’ I dived into Dr. David Perlmutter’s (book) ‘Grain Brain.’ I read it cover to cover, and it just blew my mind. Basically, the book says a lot of our illnesses come from what we’re eating and our lifestyle. I went back to my neurologist, and asked, ‘Is this hype or true?’ And he said, ‘It would scare you very much, but it’s all true.’ I did more research and

discovered I needed to get further nutritional and genomic testing to find out what I was missing in my diet that was preventing me from fully healing my brain and preventing other diseases. So I had a full evaluation done in the last couple of months, and now I am gluten-free, dairy-free, alcohol-free and sugar-free. All those things are very inflammatory, and research has shown increased inflammation in the body can affect my (brain’s) recovery. The hardest thing for me to give up has been dairy, because I love cheese, and milk in my coffee.”

Start-up costs would fall somewhere between $2 million and $3 million, according to the report — costs the city would recover in as early as five years. Read the report and other analyses at www.delmar.ca.us/605/Law-Enforcement. City Manager Scott Huth laid out two scenarios for a Del Mar police department, one with the equivalent of 15 full-time employees and one with 18. The 15-employee structure would cost $2.49 million and would include a chief, four sergeants, five patrol officers, as well as including the 6.5 positions the city already employs under its ranger and parking enforcement program. The 18-employee option would add three more full-time positions — a detective, a traffic officer and an evidence technician — and cost $2.87 million. The evening’s painstaking detail paid off for long-time resident Bud Emerson, who asked the council to continue its inquiry. “I’ve been here 45 years and I’ve watched every damn city council meeting and this is by far away the best city council meeting I’ve ever seen. You guys were so rational, so calm,” he said. “… Don’t make up your mind just yet.” But Councilmember Dave Druker, who has consistently opposed the idea, reminded his colleagues that they have been busy paring down the city’s upcoming budget. “I believe the community has twice now weighed in and told us not to look at this,” he

said before making a motion to halt the inquiry and revisit the issue at some unnamed point in the future. His motion was not seconded. Councilmembers Sherryl Parks and Ellie Haviland weren’t ready to put the issue to bed quite yet, encouraged to hear that the sheriff’s department may be willing to consider expanding its service. “We have a lot of information that we were given tonight and some things that I think are worth following up on — for example, another conversation with the sheriff,” Haviland said. “I know that people say that they’ve done that and there’s no flexibility there, but I heard some flexibility tonight. And given all the work that’s gone into this, to have one more conversation about that seems prudent to me.” Druker persisted, imploring the council not to attempt a survey or hear more presentations. “We need to make a decision once and for all on this,” he said. “A community survey is very suspect, I believe. More debate on this, pro, con, we’ve had it all. It’s time for us to very quickly and make a decision here.” Councilmember Dwight Worden, who suggested the survey, countered that he wants to know community input given that there is more than one good option for moving forward. “Then I would suggest you go knock on some

doors and talk to people,” Druker responded. “... I’ve already done my own survey, three times now. And each time it’s come back and said to me, ‘Don’t do your own police department.’ … We’ve had reports and people have read those reports. They also understand intuitively, I believe, that having our own police department is a big sink hole.” Worden offered to pay for the survey himself. “Why do you not want to take the pulse of the community, I don’t understand that,” he said. “I have. I’ve taken it. That’s why,” Druker said. “Well I’ve walked around too and I guess I’m feeling a different pulse,” Worden said. “He’s (Druker) at a decision point and I respect that; he doesn’t need any more. But I’m not there yet.” Druker voiced concern that the survey would implicitly sway respondents toward supporting creating a police department. He felt that’s what happened in the survey on the new city hall and civic center. Exhausted by the debate, the council settled on continuing the discussion on Aug. 8. In the meantime, Huth said city staff will post online their responses to the scores of questions received from residents. He cautioned that the large number of questions will take time to answer.

hike will be on Sept. 23. The trailhead is at the San Andres kiosk in Del Mar. The selfie spot is the Old Grand Avenue Overlook Bridge. It is a 2.76-mile round-trip that is rated “easy,” is open to hiking and biking, and dogs are allowed on leash. Per the SDRVC, “the intertidal marsh habitat at the San Dieguito Lagoon is among the most rare and threatened habitat in California. Starting in fall 2006, an ambitious restoration project created 115 acres of wetlands in addition to the traditional coastal sage scrub habitat. “The Lagoon is a popular spot for birdwatchers as it provides habitat for a number of endangered species. It’s also a popular stopping point for migratory birds along the Pacific Flyway.” ■ The Del Dios Gorge trail’s guided hike will be on Nov. 11. The trailhead is the Santa Fe Valley staging area off Del Dios Highway near Calle Ambiente in Rancho Santa Fe. It is a 4.54-mile round-trip that is rated “moderate,” is open to hiking and biking, and dogs are allowed on leash. The selfie spot is the Rattlesnake Viewpoint. Per the SDRVC, the viewpoint gets its name “from the shape the viewpoint bench — built from native rock — forms.

Just as striking as Del Dios Gorge’s beauty is its archaeological significance. The area is home to the C.W. Harris Site Archaeological District, which has artifacts going back 9,000 years, to San Diego County’s earliest inhabitants. “The Lake Hodges Dam controls the river’s flow through the Gorge. The natural landscape is made up of both riparian vegetation and coast live oak. ... (Also viewable is) the historic Hodges Flume, which transported water from Lake Hodges to the San Dieguito Reservoir until 2003. Although the water is transported by gravity, an optical illusion makes it look like the water is traveling uphill.” ■ The Bernardo Mountain trail’s guided hike will be on Jan. 20. The summit trail portion is a 3.9-mile round-trip, which is rated “strenuous.” The total hike mileage depends on the starting point, including a few spots in Rancho Bernardo such as near the David Kreitzer Lake Hodges Bicycle Pedestrian Bridge. It is open to hiking and biking. Dogs on leash are allowed, but not within 50 feet of the lake shore. The selfie spot is Bernardo Summit, with the photo taken so that Lake Hodges is in the background. Per the SDRVC, “Bernardo Mountain rises 1,100 feet on the north side of Lake

Hodges. Its hillsides and areas around the base are full of coastal sage scrub and prickly pear cacti, providing habitat for the California gnatcatcher and coastal cactus wren. The summit offers breathtaking panoramic views where golden eagles once nested.” ■ Clevenger Canyon South trail’s guided hike will be on Feb. 24. The southern trailhead is around 5 miles from San Diego Zoo Safari Park in San Pasqual. There are two options. The east fork is a 4.4-mile round-trip with the selfie spot being the wire-mesh chairs bolted to a boulder. There are two summits, at 1,755 feet and 1,635 feet, providing views of Boden Canyon, Palomar Mountain, Volcan Mountain and the Laguna Mountains. The west fork is a 2.8-mile round-trip with the selfie spot being the “end of trail” sign. It has a 1,550-foot summit and “sweeping” views of San Pasqual Valley. Both options are rated “strenuous,” open to hikers only and dogs are allowed on leash. Per the SDRVC, “the South Trail traverses hillsides full of low-lying coastal sage scrub and taller, denser southern mixed chaparral. Wildflowers emerge in the spring, coloring the hillsides with lilacs and other blooms.”

www.delmartimes.net FROM UNIVERSITY PIONEERS, A5 America to go bankrupt. It has a very underserved population and we, at CSU, have a responsibility, especially for the underserved areas, to provide greater access to education. Marvalene was one of the first people to see that importance and she was one of the few presidents who worked closely with legislators at the state and federal level. Hughes: I was told that it was going to be the most conservative part of the state. They also told me that the people in the Central Valley would not support the university and that there was not enough money in the area. Well, I did my research and guess what, we had more millionaires in the Valley than almost anywhere else. My predecessors did not understand how to do their research and how to understand the wealth of the community. They thought they were in the poorest area of California when, in fact, they were in one of the richest. Those people just had to be cultivated. DMT: As the leaders of large academic institutions, do you feel that the lessons remain the same, or is the political and cultural environment different now? Hughes: We really have some challenges politically. In the present federal administration, there’s a lot of fear about the status of equity and whether or not we are regressing or progressing. I think many forward-thinking universities are concerned that we may be regressing because politically we can’t move forward, either nationally or internationally, as we did when we had

the momentum going. Junn: When I was announced as president last year, I did worry. Asians make up the largest minority of university teachers, but the number that make it into administration is vanishingly small. There are fewer than 10 female Asian presidents at a four-year college in all of the United States. But I’m happy to say that the people at Stanislaus have been very genuine and sincere. Everyone has been so warm and welcoming. Hughes: It was easier for me to diversify that campus than any other campus for some reason. I didn’t go in with any expectations. And I was in an interracial marriage, but the community decided that we were the ideal couple. They really embraced us. Still, I had to really, really struggle just to get the student body up 25 percent Latina, which was more representative of the community. Junn: We’ve doubled it, now it’s 50 percent. DMT: You must have taken a tremendous amount of pride in being able to push things forward, Dr. Hughes, and yet, despite those successes, the disparities in race and gender are still… Hughes: Entrenched. Deeply entrenched. The American political system grinds slowly, in geologic time, and does not transform itself unless some inward force is really pushing. I think that’s probably why I fell in love with the women’s studies program at San Diego State. They surrounded themselves with a multidisciplinary academic approach and grounded that in research and literature.

But we have not experienced that kind of multiplicity and growth in the Central Valley. Junn: Well let me ask you, Marvalene, when you became president were there challenges that you faced as an African American woman? Hughes: Yes, but I was prepared. I learned a lot from San Diego State. I learned a lot from the University of Minnesota. I’m almost more worried about how things are now. There was a time when there was a vibrancy in political movement and I don’t see that anymore. That really concerns me. That means that we, as university presidents, must get involved. If we treat ourselves as a silo in the United States, where everyone ought to emulate us, then we have lost the future. Because the future is in internationalism, and the future is in being able to compete here and make your identity known as a CSU leader. DMT: Can you talk yet about the ceremony in honor of Dr. Hughes? Junn: We haven’t settled on a date yet, but it’ll be later this year. We’re going to have 600 people help us commemorate naming it (the reflecting pond) in Marvalene’s honor. There are a lot of wonderful memories people have about Marvalene and they haven’t seen her in a while so they’ll be very happy to see her. In my 31 years in the CSU system, I have visited every campus except for Humboldt and in my mind Stanislaus has always been the most beautiful in terms of the exterior and landscaping. We have six water features and lakes, more than 2,800 trees and 95 different species of wildlife. That’s all because of her.

users,” McSweeney said. Developer impact fees vary widely among cities and within cities as well. For example, the city of San Diego charges different amounts for new master-planned communities and for infill developments within existing neighborhoods. A transportation impact fee in old neighborhoods ranges from $350 per dwelling unit in Clairemont to $12,670 in Tierrasanta. For developing new-home communities, the per unit fee that covers parks, libraries, transportation and other public improvements ranges from $4,311 in Rancho Encantada, east of Scripps Ranch, to as much as $122,384 in Del Mar Mesa in the Carmel Valley area. The increase will make Solana Beach’s overall developer fees the highest in North County, McSweeney said. San Marcos collects about $9,500 per unit, which is the highest in North County, he said, and most of that pays for improvements to state Route 78. Almost all of the money collected in Solana Beach will be used to finance pathways for bicycles and pedestrians. Marshall, who voted against the fee, said any new fee makes Solana Beach housing less affordable. “It seems like $19 million is a lot for bike paths,” Marshall said. “I want to be part of the solution and not part of the problem of affordable housing here,” she said. “Back in the day, I rode a bike, and there were no bike lanes, and I didn’t wear a helmet, and I got along fine.” Other Solana Beach council members said the fee is a forward-thinking way to accommodate the needs of residents who appreciate being able to get around town by foot or on bicycles. “People value the fact that we are very walkable … and people can ride their bikes,” said Mayor Mike Nichols. Solana Beach is the second-smallest in San Diego County, only larger than Del Mar, and has little space left to build on. The city hired the San Diego firm of Chen Ryan Associates in April 2016 to work with city staffers to create the fee program. Less than 1 percent of the city remains undeveloped, the staff report states. That is expected to be enough room for 28 single-family homes, 423 apartments or condominiums, and about 30 acres of mixed-use buildings and other facilities. The average trip of a Solana Beach resident is 9.7 miles, the report states. A single-family home generates about 12 trips per day, and an apartment generates about nine trips per day. – Phil Diehl is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

FROM SENIORS, A1 gym and social activities. SRM has completed over 1,000 senior housing units throughout Washington, California and Nevada. “One of the big market demands in California is for seniors. We believe seniors should have the opportunity to remain in their communities, rather than have to move somewhere else,” Rivard said. “They shouldn’t have to move if they’ve lived in Carmel Valley for years and years.” He said many seniors have reached the point in life where they are not capable of the day-to-day responsibilities of owning a home and this development will provide an

CCA supporters note that some of their programs are starting to channel revenue into a number of projects exclusively serving all-green clients — and are expanding the total amount of clean energy produced on the market. Those projects are tiny when compared to the total electricity supply, but their backers said it’s evidence that the business model is valid. The race to offer 100 percent green packages to more Californians marks the latest battle in a years-long war between traditional utilities and CCAs, which are public-energy programs that rose to prominence in the San Francisco Bay Area in the past decade and have gained a foothold in Southern California in recent years. The outcome of the struggle between CCAs and utilities could influence not only how much of a power provider’s sourcing portfolio comes from renewable energy — CCA advocates envision eliminating any reliance on coal and natural gas — but also where that renewable energy is created. Major utilities have emphasized economies of scale, consistently building extensive infrastructure to distribute electricity generated in remote locations. CCA architects emphasize ultra-local generation, meaning solar panels on the roofs and yards of homes and office buildings. It’s not clear whether this conflict has resonated with the public, but advocates of CCA programs hope to raise the profile of their concept of hyper-local power generation. “Most folks that sign up for these 100 percent green programs don’t insist that because of me signing up, some increment of renewables gets built locally,” Powers said. “But that’s really the way it should be. It’s real and you can touch it.” Utility officials have said centralized renewable energy is important to keeping costs down, but that they too are making efforts to promote development of small-scale renewable resources. For example, revenues from SDG&E’s 100 percent renewable option, called EcoChoice, will help build such renewable projects in the future, said Allison Torres, spokeswoman for the utility. “EcoChoice makes it possible for our customers to buy clean, renewable energy at an affordable price to help support the environment and promote the growth of local renewable energy sources,” she said in an email. One that most experts agree on: The proliferation of CCAs has accelerated the offering of plans with more renewable energy than what’s required by the state, all the way up to the 100 percent label. Under community choice, a utility still operates the poles and wires needed to deliver energy, but elected officials control the buying and selling of power for their jurisdiction. If a city or county votes to form or join such a program, ratepayers can opt out if they would rather have the rates offered by their local utility. There are eight community-choice programs across much of the state, serving hundreds of

thousands of people in communities from Humboldt to Lancaster. “The advent of CCAs, regardless of what you think of them, has spurred competition — lowering prices, increasing the level of carbon-free content in our power supply,” said Shawn Marshall, executive director of LEAN Energy U.S., a nonprofit membership organization that promotes use of renewable energy and community choice aggregation. More than half a dozen CCA programs are slated to launch next year and many other communities throughout the state are considering the option. On average, CCA programs have offered customers more green energy for slightly lower prices than the traditional utilities’ rates. For example, the county of Los Angeles is set to roll out a massive CCA in the unincorporated areas of that region, which could eventually pull in cities such as Long Beach and Torrance. The city of San Diego, which has committed to using 100 percent green energy by 2035, is set to release a study this coming week that outlines the feasibility of launching its own community choice program. Meanwhile, Solana Beach has taken official steps toward adopting a CCA, and several North County cities — including Encinitas, Del Mar and Carlsbad — are looking into the idea. In California, CCA proponents have focused on the need to better tackle global warming by reducing greenhouse-gas emissions, which are linked to coal, natural gas and other fossil fuels. “The reality is, if you want to make measurable progress on a climate action plan, you really have to consider your energy source,” said Encinitas Mayor Catherine Blakespear. In general, the CCA business model calls for using ratepayer money to boost the amount of renewable energy purchased on the electrical grid. But power contracts often involve large amounts of energy and can span decades, so companies in charge of buying and selling electricity don’t ink new deals the instant someone decides to pays more for an all-green plan. At the same time, power providers routinely look to adjust their portfolios every six months to a year so they can reflect the latest customer-purchasing trends. In the big picture, the competition between utilities and CCA programs is fueled by a changing energy sourcing and consumption environment. As nuclear and fossil-fuel power plants retire and more aspects of people’s daily lives become electrified, from ovens to cars, the race to fill that demand with renewable energy has made strides in California. Investor-owned utilities are fast approaching, or have already exceeded, a state mandate to offer at least a third of all power they provide as renewable by 2020. And CCAs are outpacing those companies, in some cases offering as much as 55 percent green power to their customers. “We have increased the amount of renewable energy being delivered to customers in

California,” said Robert Freehling, an energy consultant who has done work for nonprofit groups, the Sacramento Municipal Utility District and the Imperial Irrigation District. “If you put a kilowatt hour of wind or solar on the grid, then what will ordinarily happen, up to a point anyway, is that flexible fossil (fuel) generators will turn down their output.” The following is a comparison of electricity plans offered by the state’s leading CCA program, Marin Clean Energy, and its rival utility, Pacific Gas & Electric: Marin Clean Energy MCE Light Green •55 percent renewable energy. •$97.76 average monthly residential bill*. MCE Deep Green •100 percent renewable energy**. •$102.21 average monthly residential bill (a penny more per kilowatt hour than the standard plan). •More than 2 percent of customers participate in this program. Local Sol 100% •Under development. •The project is capped at 300 customers and links ratepayers to a specific solar project in their neighborhood. *Based on a typical usage of 445 kWh a month. **Half of all premiums paid on the MCE Deep Green go into a local renewable development fund, which pays for the development of renewable energy projects in its service territory. The rest of revenue from Deep Green customers is used to buy renewable energy, adjusted annually. Pacific Gas & Electric PG&E traditional service •33 percent renewable energy. •$98.03 average monthly residential bill*. Solar Choice •50 percent renewable energy, $103.84 average monthly residential bill**. •100 percent renewable energy, $109.65 average monthly residential bill. •Less than 0.2 percent of customers participate in this program. Regional Renewable Choice Program •Under development. •Will facilitate an agreement between a customer and a local developer of renewable energy. The arrangement is used to offset the consumer’s bill, similar to the installation of rooftop solar. *Based on a typical usage of 445 kWh a month. **Premiums paid by Solar Choice customers go toward funding that’s paying for development of new solar program in PG&E service territory. When the project are completed, they will offer about 53 megawatts of power. Solar Choice customers currently account for 16 megawatts of electricity, which is being serviced by previously procured clean energy. – Joshua Emerson Smith is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune

alternative. “We think Carmel Valley and coastal San Diego is underserved and we think this is a really good use,” Rivard said. The proposed preliminary plan is for three structures: A memory care center, a building that will house 125 units and six duplexes with 12 units for independent living. The site is roughly 32 acres and the developers aim to buy 8.78 acres, leaving the remaining 24 acres as open space. The current zoning allows for licensed residential care facilities for seniors, but the developers will need to amend the precise plan for the area, a process they are just now initiating. The Carmel Valley Community

Planning Board approved the initiation of the city process on June 22 and the plan will likely come before the board several times for review and approval of the conditional use permit. The seller, Seabreeze Farms Equestrian owner Chad Harris, will partner in the project and will maintain a small pasture and boarding for 15 to 25 “retired” horses. Based on what they have heard from the neighboring community, including Cathedral Catholic High School, Rivard said it has been made clear neighbors would like to see the continuance of the trail system in the open space that has never really been completed. Rivard said they aim to be “good neighbors” as these types of communities are relatively low

impact. The height limit for the units is 35 feet. Where the new buildings face neighboring single family homes, they will be two stories but the units will be 18 to 20 feet below the existing homes. “They should be able to look out and not have their views blocked,” Rivard said of the neighbors. As they are still early on in the process, Rivard said SRM is “not married” to any type of architectural style — they will look to the community to see what might fit best in the neighborhood. “We intend to be here for a long time and want to build a high-quality project,” Rivard said.

www.delmartimes.net FROM LIFEGUARD, A1 “We are screaming, we are saying enough is enough,” she said. “Get our head lifeguard back into that tower.” In a statement released Friday, July 7 by Mayor Terry Sinnott, the city said the investigation was prompted by two complaints to the city’s Human Resources Department. Crabtree and City Manager Scott Huth said the complaints were made by employees of the Community Services Department. City officials decided to hire an outside attorney, Debra Reilly of Encinitas, to investigate the complaints. Sinnott’s statement said that more than 20 witnesses have been interviewed in the course of the investigation along with the review of hundreds of pages of data. A final report on the investigation is expected by the end of the month. Huth estimated the investigation will cost $20,000 to $30,000. Sinnott’s statement said city officials are not directly involved in the investigation, and that the city has avoided commenting publicly about the case to protect the confidentiality of all parties, including those who made the complaints, those who face allegations and witnesses. The statement does not disclose the specifics of the allegations or the scope of the investigation. Dan Crabtree said he has been frustrated by the city’s unwillingness to tell him what wrongdoing, if any, Vergne is accused of committing, or even allow him to see the actual complaints. But he said he has sat through six hours of questioning of Vergne by the investigator, and that some of the questions were about financial transactions such as credit card purchases. Crabtree said he and many other Del Mar residents believe Vergne should be immediately reinstated to his job, which includes oversight of city parking enforcement, park rangers and issuance of permits for use of city recreational facilities, such as the Powerhouse Community Center. “I’m 100 percent convinced he’s done absolutely nothing wrong. He has done nothing that I would consider to be wrong or questionable,” Crabtree said. Vergne began working for the city as a student lifeguard when he was a teenager,

Immersive Recovery offers a comprehensive partial hospitalization program (commonly referred to as day treatment) treating individuals at the earliest stages of sobriety, an intensive outpatient program, and group and individual sessions with a licensed marriage and family therapist

and has been chief lifeguard for about 17 years. “He’s probably the most loved person in all of Del Mar,” Crabtree said, referring to the ranks of city employees. “He doesn’t just take this as a job. For Pat, it’s a passion. He loves the city and he loves his job.” “He should be back on the job. It’s ridiculous that he’s not,” Crabtree said. Crabtree also said that he and other residents believe the actions against Vergne stem from a “personal vendetta” against the lifeguard chief by City Manager Scott Huth. Huth refuted the allegation, noting that, as city manager, he has the authority to dismiss department heads such as Vergne because they are at-will employees. “I can unilaterally send them down the road. I haven’t done that. I don’t have any personal bad blood with any of the employees involved with the circumstances we are looking at,” Huth said. Crabtree also took issue with the decision to hire an outside investigator, contending the investigation could have been handled in-house. But Huth said due to the magnitude of the allegations in the complaints, it was felt an outside investigator would have both the expertise and impartiality to conduct the inquiry. “My responsibility to the community and the city is to make sure we investigate allegations that are brought forward and we do it in a responsible, thorough and legal manner,” Huth said. The attorney hired by the city can look at the allegations and evidence with “independent eyes,” Huth said. “To me it’s a positive that we did it in that manner,” he said. As to the calls for Vergne’s immediate reinstatement, Huth said, “I understand people would like to see him back at work.” Huth said, however, that would be “premature” since the investigator hasn’t finished her report on the inquiry. “We still want to have that investigation finished, then see the results of the investigation and be able to move forward. I’m not speculating how that’s going to come out. I’m going to read the report and take it from there,” Huth said. Visit delmartimes.net for an expected update to this story this week.

With new and returning favorite events, Del Mar primed for a ‘fantastic’ racing season BY KELLEY CARLSON el Mar is on top of the world. Not only is the seaside oval the site of this year’s Breeders’ Cup World Thoroughbred Championships, it will serve as the home of Arrogate, currently the No. 1-ranked racehorse in the universe. The big, gray 4-year-old colt is scheduled to make his next start in the $300,000 TVG San Diego Handicap on July 22, his first since his victory in the $10 million Dubai World Cup in March. If all goes well, Arrogate will likely target the $1 million TVG Pacific Classic on Aug. 19, and then defend his title in the $6 million Breeders’ Cup Classic on Nov. 4. “We’re very pleased that the Arrogate connections have decided to stay home and give California’s thoroughbred fans a chance to watch the best horse in racing right now perform,” said Tom Robbins, Del Mar’s executive vice president for racing. “We’ll be delighted to showcase him at Del Mar, and his presence will add some marvelous spice to our overall racing program.” To commemorate the return of Arrogate, posters of the champion will be distributed to fans on July 22, while supplies last. Arrogate’s expected appearance in the TVG San Diego Handicap is the first Saturday of Del Mar’s summer meet, which spans seven weeks. The season - which will run July 19 through Sept. 4 - is action-packed with returning events, along with a few new ones. Among the special occasions will be “Chargers Day at Del Mar” on July 22, the same day as Arrogate’s anticipated comeback. “This is a chance for many of the Chargers players to say thank you to the people of San Diego who rooted for them through thick and thin during more than half a century here in town,” former Chargers player/coach/broadcaster Hank Bauer said. “We’ll be tipping our caps to our loyal fans and letting them know how much we appreciated that loyalty and their support and encouragement over all those years.” Groups of Chargers — organized by decade — will assemble in the

Video clips from the team’s 56 years in San Diego will also be shown. Another themed day will be “Country Fest,” slated for Aug. 5. “Wear your hats, stylish boots and big belt buckles,” said Chris Bahr, director of events and promotions. “It will be a full day of country leading up to (the) Billy Currington (concert).” According to Bahr, there will be live music, a mechanical bull and trick roping demonstrations. The annual Western Regional Chili Cookoff will kick off at 1 p.m. in the Seaside Concert Area, to the west of the grandstand, where attendees will be treated to free samples and can vote for their favorites. The day will culminate with the performance by Currington, after the races. Yet another new event this year will be Burgers & Brews on Aug. 12.

Richard Baird, Bruce Turk and John Nutten rehearse “At This evening’s Performance,” at the North Coast Repertory Theatre through Aug. 7.

A San Diego Premiere ‘At This Evening’s Performance’ offers laugh-a-minute farce BY DIANA SAENGER Actor John Nutten admits he’s been very fortunate in his career, appearing in films, TV shows and on stage. He’s performed at the North Coast Repertory Theatre before (“Unnecessary Farce,” “The Odd Couple,” “Time Stands Still,” “Breaking Legs”), and said he’s happy to return for the comedy and play-within-a-play, “At This Evening’s Performance,” written by Nagle Jackson and directed by Andrew Barnicle. “When I read the script it made me laugh out loud, something I normally don’t do,” Nutten said. “I found myself having to stop reading at times just to giggle. When I get something that funny, my instinct says of course I want to be a part of this play.” Not only is Nutten excited about the script, he’s crazy about his character Pankoff. “He’s an essential part of the play. He comes into the middle of the action, looks around, and says let’s shake things up a bit,” Nutten said. “The story takes place in a county in Eastern Europe called Strevia, which recently took over another country, Dunsk. Pankoff is now the Minister of Culture who has entered into a powerful situation and sees himself somewhat of a playwright. However, he doesn’t have a theater company and he lacks the skills for writing. He’s also a little bipolar, which is kind of fun in a comedy to play.” Bruce Turk (Gunther Posnik) and Katie MacNichol (Hippolyta Posnik) are a real married couple who play the leads, a married couple. Nutten said they are phenomenal actors and their performance alone is worth the price of admission. Newton’s favorite scene is when he’s trying to convince Gunther to be in his National Theatre Company. “Gunther says he wants the same thing,

Jump in, the community is great.

but he thinks his life is in jeopardy due to he and his wife, Hippolyta’s, political activities,” Nutten said. “This is what I love about a farce! It has these little layers of things going on. “The story takes place in the theater and there are a lot of theater references, so a theatre audience is going to really enjoy it, especially with Jackson’s clever writing, which shows how art really does imitate life.” The audience includes Richard Baird, Paul Turbiak, Kyle Colerider-Krugh and Serra Jolene. ■ IF YOU GO: “At This Evening’s Performance,” is on stage through Aug. 7 at the North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

Herman Cook Volkswagen a family affair for 50 years

La Jolla Cultural Partners

erman Cook Volkswagen in Encinitas is celebrating a big birthday this month and is planning a party to commemorate it. The dealership, at 1435 Encinitas Boulevard, has been in business for 50 years since Herman Cook opened it in 1967. Cook — who began working for Riviera Volkswagen of Manhattan Beach in 1956 and came to Encinitas with his family in 1966 — acquired the land, near Encinitas Boulevard and El Camino Real. San Diego County officials predicted the area to be the hub of the booming city, said Cook’s son, Dennis Cook. “We all kind of lucked out, and it turned out to be a great location,” said Dennis, who has served as president and owner of the dealership since his dad retired in 1980. “In the early days, Encinitas Boulevard, which was then called San Marcos Road, was a two-way road and El Camino dead-ended there. It didn’t go south. South was nothing but sagebrush and cacti.” Now, the area is adorned with businesses and is a high-traffic area in Encinitas. Dennis said he has also continued to support the city, having served as president of

the Encinitas Rotary Club and served as both the chairman and a member of the Board of Managers at the Magdalena Ecke Family YMCA. “The community is changing,” he said. “It’s not the sleepy little surf town that it once was. But there are still a lot of people who have lived here for a long, long time and we’re fortunate a lot of those people continue to do business with us.” Dennis, who has worked at the dealership since he was 13, said the dealership is now serving third and fourth generations of the same families. People come back because of the business’ “family-friendly environment,” he said. Both of Dennis’ sons work at the dealership as part owners, making the business a true family affair that Dennis hopes to extend to the customers. “We want you to come in here and feel like you’re being treated like you’re a member of the family,” Dennis said. “You’re not just a number. We don’t subscribe to a lot of the tactics that corporate-owned stores use to try and sell cars. We want to respect everybody. SEE HERMAN COOK, B22

Viewpoint Brewing Company, set for a soft opening this weekend, will be Del Mar’s first brewery. And with a trio of locally-trained chefs at the helm, it will be the San Diego region’s first cuisine-forward brewery.

Viewpoint Brewing set for its long-awaited debut BY SEBASTIAN MONTES Charles Koll and crew may be taking DIY too much to heart. In the mad rush to get Viewpoint Brewing Company ready for its soft opening this weekend, Koll has been found welding the guardrails out front. Sister-in-law Meghan Koll has taken on the interior design. His father carved the beer taps. Mom pitched in with decorative flourishes. Executive chef Gunnar Planter’s dad helped do the doors. It’s been a two-year labor of love to reimagine the aging warehouse on San Dieguito Lagoon and reshape it into Del Mar’s first-ever brewery. “Everything you see here we did ourselves or we brought in friends,” said head brewer Moe Katomski. “Everything.” For nearly four decades, the warehouse in the non-descript industrial park at the intersection of Jimmy Durante Boulevard and San Dieguito Drive was home to the beloved pottery studio Eucalyptus Stoneware, run by John Laver, known worldwide for it iconic bread baskets. Laver begrudgingly shut down at the end of 2014, and within a matter of months, Koll and his father — who lives a few hundred yards away — snatched up the For Rent sign they saw one day as they drove by. “To be honest, he saw way more in it than I did at the time,” Koll said. Over two-plus years, Koll slogged through the City of Del Mar’s exacting review process and a procedural challenge from former mayor Al Corti, who lives a stone’s throw away. Koll brought in Planter to run the kitchen and Katowski to run the brewhouse and, with all hands in, they transformed the 4,500 square feet of industrial space into the San Diego region’s first cuisine-forward brewery. “I was lucky because I grew up here and a lot of the neighbors know me and had my beers and have always supported me in this endeavor,” Koll said. “It kind of feels like I cheated a little bit because I had so much community support.” It may be their first time taking the helm,

but to call them first-timers would be a disservice to their lengthy culinary pedigrees. The trio combined has decades of experience in the kitchens of some of the area’s most venerated eateries — Mille Fleurs, The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, Prepkitchen and the University Club among them. Now the trio find themselves cozied up to the south bank of the San Dieguito Lagoon and Wildlife Bird Reserve, where a stretch of the Coast-to-Crest trail winds up against the 2,000-square-foot patio filled with communal tables, fire-pit booths, custom swings and space to play bocce, cornhole and the like. But the Viewpoint moniker is not about the panoramic vista that opens onto the lagoon once the retracting garage doors roll up. “The idea of Viewpoint is that it’s about perspective, we’re constantly playing with themes and design elements that make you look twice,” Koll said. “How you see things is always going to be different than the person next to you; the same is true for flavor and food and beer.” Standing in the dining room as they hustle through preparations for the horseracing season at the fairgrounds next door, what jumps out are the flourishes of thoughtful detail. The Viewpoint logo, when flipped upside-down, reads with squinted eyes as “good beer.” Custom-made planters hang from the high ceilings, made by Laver himself. Vintage Skee-ball machines were brought in from the East Coast. Tables were carved from local Torrey pine. A wall of lockers will house a Mug Club with custom-engraved name tags. A special spot on the menu has been set aside for their “Buy a Bird a Beer” campaign to benefit the San Dieguito River Valley Conservancy. With collaboration the name of their game, ingredients in Planter’s culinary offerings will coincide with the beer flowing out of Katomski’s 15-barrel brewhouse, set to include a Mandarina Pale Ale, a Red Rye IPA that won warm reception at last month’s Summer Solstice event, and a single-malt, SEE VIEWPOINT BREWING, B22

EVENT BRIEFS Jazz performance North Coast Repertory Theatre will hold a Monday Night Jazz performance featuring The Peter Sprague Trio July 24 at 7:30 p.m. The Peter Sprague trio explores the jazz tradition of improvisation but with a slightly different spin — they bring their jazz viewpoint to songs that resonate with the boomers. They start with The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Bob Marley, Jimi Hendrix, James Taylor, and Cream, and then for balance they play “Georgia” by Hoagy Carmichael or add in a Cole Porter beauty and one of Peter’s original compositions.

Legendary Col. Ed Fletcher's descendants reunite — for 92nd straight year BY ROB NIKOLEWSKI For the Fletcher family, Fourth of July is never complete without a group photo. That can be a quite a chore when five generations need to get rounded up. “This is not easy,” real estate agent Ron Fletcher said with a combination of good humor and exasperation as the Fletcher clan moseyed across a beach around noontime Tuesday, July 4. He and about 120 others were gathered for their 92nd consecutive annual reunion in Del Mar, a community whose development is among the many legacies of the family’s late patriarch — the legendary Col. Ed Fletcher. “This is like herding cats,” said Grant Fletcher, at age 57 the youngest grandson of the colonel, who came to San Diego in the late 1880s with $6.10 in his pockets and ended up living a tale resembling that of Horatio Alger. By the time the colonel — who received his title from an appointment to the California National Guard — died in 1955, he and his wife, Mary, had raised 10 children and helped turn San Diego County from a sparse Southern California outpost into a major metropolitan area. With a knack for salesmanship and a discerning eye for real estate and other financial opportunities, Ed Fletcher was instrumental in the development of Rancho Santa Fe, Grossmont, Mount Helix and a host of other projects, such as the Pine Hills Lodge in Julian. His name also graces Fletcher Cove in Solana Beach and Fletcher

Thousands of motorists drive on Fletcher Parkway each day and many residents relax at Lake Hodges, one of several water infrastructure projects that Fletcher helped shepherd. Less well-known is a more personal project that Fletcher established — the annual Fourth of July family reunion. From the Jazz Age to the digital era, relatives have gathered at the Fletcher family compound in Del Mar each year since. And yes, the group photo was taken

Tuesday, July 4. As toddlers squirmed in the front rows, the most senior member of the Fletcher clan posed in a plastic beach chair: 96-year-old Charlotte Taylor Rowe, whose mother was the eldest of Col. Fletcher and Mary’s children. “It’s just wonderful to see the tradition carry on,” Rowe said. “I’m sure our grandmother would have loved it.” Bonnie Fletcher, a La Jolla law firm administrator and Ron Fletcher’s sister, said the key to a successful string of family reunions is keeping a low-key attitude.

“The environment here is kids and hot dogs and hamburgers,” she said. “The only competition is who can surf better.” Like many, Ron Fletcher said the annual reunion is a highlight for him every year. “I don’t even think about a Fourth of July anywhere else,” he said. Mary Catherine Taylor Escherich, 91, the second-oldest granddaughter who now lives in Pomona, remembered Col. Fletcher as a visionary who formed a fondness for the backcountry as he got his start in the area delivering fruit on dirt roads. “He loved it so much and wanted to see it developed,” Escherich said. “Maybe he didn’t have the education, but he could see where the dams and other things should go SEE FLETCHER, B22

Rock ’N’ Roll Camp for Girls aims to boost confidence, talents BY BRITTANY WOOLSEY A San Diego camp is hoping to empower girls through music later this month. Leucadia resident Melissa Grove founded the nonprofit Rock ‘n’ Roll Camp for Girls San Diego two years ago as a way to help the girls build confidence and talents. The San Diego chapter is one of more than 100 worldwide. “My main goal in life is to give children empowering experiences,” said Grove, who formerly worked in child development and the theatre. “This allows me to use my gift in the performing arts in a way that I’m passionate about.” At the camp, which runs July 24 through the 28 at the San Diego Performing Arts Center, 40 girls — in age groups of 8 through 11 and 12 through 17 — take on the guitar, bass, vocals, drums or keyboards in eight bands and are led by volunteer female instructors. For some, it will be their first time picking up an instrument, Grove said. Each band also writes its own original song. The hard work is culminated with a performance at the House of Blues San Diego

Participants play in a band as part of a past Rock 'n' Roll Camp for Girls San Diego. on July 29 at noon. The event is open to the public, and tickets cost $10. “It’s a fast program, and it’s very powerful,” said Grove, who plays the guitar. “We come in with a punch and then they get the honor of playing at the House of Blues, which has been very supportive.” Throughout the week, the girls also

participate in empowering workshops that focus on topics like image and identity. They also design band logos, which are then screen-printed onto T-shirts. Grove said her goal is to help shape the girls into strong women. “We’re in an interesting, challenging time right now, especially for females,” she said. “This allows

the girls to come together and collaborate, communicate with each other and just have a space for self-expression. It’s a great place for them to come and try new things out, have a voice and be heard. I really want to encourage girls to be advocates for each other, as well as themselves, and foster leadership.” Grove believes every girl should have a chance to participate in the camp, regardless of financial status. Camp registration is $375, but the nonprofit also provides financial aid to those who need it. Registration is nearly filled, but the camp may still have spots available. Those interested should check the camp’s website. Grove said she enjoys seeing the girls collaborate with each other. “When they come in on a Monday, they’re coming in as an individual,” she said. “It’s like magic over the course of the next couple of days. I can hear their conversations being a little more open-minded, they want to collaborate more and work together.” For more information, visit www.rockcampforgirlssd.org.

The sassy slaws of summer

oleslaw — the laid back, quintessential salad of summer — has come a long way from its simple days when folks used to debate whether the creamy kind was superior to the vinegary version. Today’s slaws have been tweaked, refined, updated, elaborated and ethnic-ized to create a confetti of crunchy, healthy eye-candy to amp up the season’s favorites from burgers of all kinds, ribs and dogs to grilled fish, chicken and picnic sandwiches. The origin of the word “coleslaw” is derived from the Dutch koolsla meaning “cabbage salad.” During the latter part of the 17th and early 18th centuries, droves of immigrants from Holland landed in New York City, earning the moniker of “New Amsterdam” to the cosmopolitan region. The Dutch enriched the city with their culture and cuisine, including the traditional chilled coleslaw dish blending shredded cabbage and other vegetables, tossed in a creamy, savory dressing with the added boon that it didn’t go soggy as quickly as traditional salads. While there are hundreds of cabbage varieties throughout the world, each with its own distinct flavor profile, texture and color, only a select few are available at American markets:

• Smooth-leafed Green cabbage used for traditional slaws is cultivated in three varieties (the oval or round Danish with good heft and tightly packed leaves, the slightly flattened, loose-leafed Domestic, and the conical headed Pointed). • The Red cabbage with brightly hued magenta leaves and white veins streaked throughout has a chewier texture than the Green varieties, adds a pop of color to slaws and a greater oomph of Vitamin C from the anthocyanin pigments. • Mild-flavored Savoy or curly cabbage has pale yellowy green, crinkly textured leaves. • Napa, also called Chinese cabbage is a close cousin to kale, but less pungent in taste. This elliptically shaped crucifer has pale green lacy leaves in a loosely packed head. • Tuscan cabbage, a newbie in this country is likely found at specialty produce shops and farmers markets. Dark green feathery leaves are delicate in taste and texture. • Brussels sprouts are miniature cabbage heads sold on the stalk or loose in bunches. Cabbage or crucifers of all manners provide a phyto powerhouse of antioxidants (especially Vitamin C) to help ward off breast, colon and prostate cancers, reduce “bad cholesterol” and ratchet up immunity. Rife

with B vitamins and potassium cabbage boosts energy and calms jittery nerves, while stabilizing heart rate and blood pressure. Coleslaw-up with these regional and international variations: 1. New York deli-style coleslaw with a sweet and savory kick is a simple blend of shredded green cabbage, carrots, and red peppers tossed in an oil and vinegar based dressing. 2. Spicy Southwest incorporates roasted corn, peppers, black beans, and chipotle hot sauce to dial up a traditional slaw. 3. A Hawaiian/tropical slaw is a sweet rendition that mixes grilled or raw fruits from mango and papaya to pineapple and guava in a honey lime marinade. 4. Asian-style combines Napa and red cabbages with scallions, celery slices, mandarin oranges and slivered almonds in a sesame soy ginger dressing. 5. French-inspired salad uses Savoy cabbage with celery salt and a Dijon mustard based vinaigrette. 6. Mediterranean or Greek slaw is a confetti of cabbages with Persian cucumber chunks, Kalamata olives, and chopped red onions, tossed in a garlic tzatziki sauce. 7. Brussels sprouts-braised or raw and finely shredded with bacon bits in a balsamic glaze makes a hearty change up. 8. Bavarian coleslaw is a robust blend of cooked red cabbage in a sweet-and-sour sauce of apple cider vinegar and brown sugar, served warm or chilled. Note: The mayonnaise myth that coleslaw drenched in a creamy dressing will spoil quickly in the heat has recently been dispelled. Mayonnaise made from pasteurized eggs with an acidic component

Creamy Coleslaw ■ Ingredients: 1/2 head each green and red cabbage, shredded or coarsely chopped; 4 carrots, shredded; 1 red pepper, diced; 1 cup mayonnaise; 1 cup Greek yoghurt or buttermilk; juice from one lemon; 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar; 3 tablespoons stone ground mustard; 1 tablespoon clear honey ■ Method: In a large bowl, blend vegetables. In a small mixing bowl, combine dressing ingredients and bend well. Pour desired amount of dressing over cabbage mixture and toss. — kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

like cider vinegar or lemon juice has been found on the contrary to keep food-borne bacteria at bay. In any case, be judicious with food storage during outdoor soirées to prevent spoilage.

Summer Legs and Beyond: Exercising with Varicose Veins It’s summer, there are record temperatures, and you want to be in shape for all those warm-weather clothes. But if you also suffer from varicose veins, not all exercises will be beneﬁcial to ﬁtness and your venous health. The problem with varicose veins When you see varicose veins, the big purplish ropes under the skin, that is blood buildup in veins due to weak venous valves. Varicose veins usually appear in the legs because the veins have to work harder to pump the blood from the feet back up to the heart. The heart, then, has to work harder to pump that blood through the weaker veins. Sometimes, high blood pressure can

develop or be exacerbated by varicose veins.

high-impact run or workout can actually increase the swelling of the veins and add stress to your joints. If you are a runner, consider moving your workout to a soft surface and wearing compression stockings to stimulate blood ﬂow.

Why not all workouts are ideal for people with varicose veins The general rule of thumb is that exercise is a good way to improve venous health. So while varicose veins are mostly the result of genetics, keeping up proper blood ﬂow will help the appearance of the varicose veins and improve your overall vascular health.The key is to use exercise to improve circulation, especially throughout the legs. There is even a chance that moderate exercise may reduce the chances of forming new varicose veins or worsening the already weakened veins.The veins in the calf muscle are especially useful in pumping blood back into the heart, so exercises that strengthen the calf muscles should be a part of your workout plan. Riding a bike, especially a stationary bike, is particularly effective.

That gut feeling Blood ﬂowing back up the leg veins to the heart passes through the vena cava in the abdomen. Increasing the abdominal pressure by such activities as heavy lifting or straining impedes blood from traveling back to the heart. That’s when venous blood pools in the leg veins, causing the unsightly—and sometimes harmful—spider and varicose veins. So weightlifting and lots of sit-ups can do more harm than good for varicose vein sufferers. However, if weightlifting is an important part of your workout regimen, consider less weight with more reps, and avoid putting too much strain on your abdomen.

Walk, don’t run Walking stimulates circulation and burns plenty of calories, and the same applies for low-impact jogging. However, a

The same is true for strenuous yoga; some poses can put extra pressure on the vena cava, impeding rather than improving circulation. Low-impact

yoga that involves smooth transitions and lots of stretching is a better plan. Remember, you should stop immediately any exercise that causes leg pain or even discomfort. Exercises is about doing good, not harm, and there can be too much of a good thing, especially when your vascular health has been compromised by varicose veins. There is no prevention for varicose veins, and no failproof cure. But a healthy, lowimpact, cardiovascular-boosting routine is a great ally for healthy legs. And while varicose veins are common enough and may not always be life-threatening, a good solution to accompany exercise is removing those varicose veins with sclerotherapy, which can be done in just a short ofﬁce visit. If working out has given you symptomatic vein disease, and if you’re tired of your varicose veins and are ready for treatment or just want some more information on sclerotherapy, contact us at 760-944-9263 or visit our website.

‘Imaging The World: Africa North/South’ by Lisa Ross and glass art by Dick Ditore is on exhibit at La Jolla Art Association.

Photos of Africa, stylish glass work captivate at Art Association show LET’S REVIEW BY WILL BOWEN The new show at the La Jolla Art Association (LJAA) gallery combines the painting-like photography of Lisa Ross’ “Imaging The World: Africa North/South” with the Dale Chihuly-influenced glass work of Dick Ditore — and is an absolute gem. It’s probably the finest exhibition at the gallery in a long time. Ross’ artistic photographs from her travels in Africa blend well with the swirling colors and interesting shapes of Ditore’s glass. You can see it through July 16 at 8100 Paseo Del Ocaso in La Jolla Shores. Modifications made to the gallery space for the show, which improved lighting and helped create a truly beautiful white space, also contributed to the overall improved look of the gallery. Although Ross has had an amazingly diverse career, she said her involvement with photography runs deep, tracing itself to the most renowned American photographer of all time — Ansel Adams. Ross was a student of Adams at Hamilton High School in west Los Angeles, which had a prestigious photography program. Adams, who lived near the school, encouraged the students and judged their competitions. “We students would go over to Adams’ house,” said Ross. “Once he took me aside and said to me, ‘You need to be a photographer!’ ” But Ross went on to do other things first. She started out in film school at USC, but because the field was so male-dominated at the time, she switched to study counseling psychology, where she ended up ABD (All But Dissertation). She taught courses like Psychopathology, as a grad student at USC, and then as a professor at National University. After her teaching stint, Ross worked as a freelance political consultant and journalist in San Diego. She found her way back to photography in 2001, when the first digital cameras came out. Ross said she also bought a very expensive Epson 9600 printer that printed photographs on canvas, making them

PHOTOS BY WILL BOWEN

Glass artist Dick Ditore look like paintings. Her work at the LJAA Gallery is from her Africana collection. “I love Morocco in north Africa,” Ross explained, “and in the south, Botswana is great for its wildlife, and Namibia has wonderful deserts. Cape Town is lovely and a lot like La Jolla, but the surrounding poverty, left over from apartheid, is very detracting.” In Africa, her primary means of travel was bush plane. She said she planned out some of her shots, but other photos were just spontaneous. “With the digital camera, you just shoot tons of images and then take it to the computer where the interesting stuff kind of emerges on its own,” she noted, adding her favorite thing is to shoot landscapes and abstract images, sometimes wildlife, but rarely portraits, which she considers too difficult. Ross has photographs from some 100 countries, which she ells online and at her gallery in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Ross said she brought glass artist Ditore into the show, after meeting him at a wildlife benefit at her home. Ditore was an electrician by trade for much of his adult life, but has worked with glass for the past 17 years. He said he took his first classes in glass art at Alpine Glass in Mission Valley. After that, he switched over to the Arts & Crafts Center at UC San Diego, which was headed by Ron Carlson. A few years ago, much to everyone’s dismay, UCSD cited financial difficulties

and the Craft Center was torn down. Ditore called the destruction “a travesty” that denied students and the public a great opportunity to take art and craft classes. Ditore said he developed a great passion for glass and felt that he needed more instruction, so he began to go up to Washington State to study at Dale Chihuly’s Pilchuck Glass School. He went there every summer for 13 years before getting hired as an instructor, five years ago to teach engraving, carving and glass polishing. Pilchuck is a 50-acre campus in the middle of a 15,000-acre tree farm. “The summer session lasts 6-8 weeks and everyone there is interested in glass art, so it’s an exhilarating and stimulating experience,” Ditore said. Chihuly, probably the most famous glass artist in the world, comes by once or twice a summer. “Sadly, there is really only one glass art program left in San Diego and that is at Palomar College in San Marcos,” Ditore said. He sells most of his work through the Toledo Museum of Art in Ohio, and at a private gallery in Ashville, North Carolina. He also does private commissions. “My most recent commission was a glass Viking ship modeled after the one archaeologists unearthed in the mud of a Swedish harbor,” he explained. “I also did a glass scroll with Hebrew characters for the Dead Sea Scrolls exhibition at the Museum of Natural History in Balboa Park. “I don’t like making production-line stuff where you make the same thing over and over just to sell it. I like new challenges. And I am not a social commentator. My work is purely aesthetic. I want to bring a little beauty and joy into people’s lives. Personally, what I like best about glass is its smooth touch. That is why I always encourage people to touch my work.” ■ IF YOU GO: The LJAA Gallery is open 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday-Sunday; closed Monday. Free. (858) 459-1196.

FROM FLETCHER, B11 and he knew someday, somebody would be happy living there.” Eighty-year-old Larry Fletcher, one of the colonel and Mary’s grandsons, still lives in Fletcher Hills, the El Cajon-La Mesa neighborhood his grandfather helped construct. He recalled that while Col. Fletcher was a literal mover and shaker in the San Diego region — for example, redirecting a river in Del Mar to make room for more oceanfront lots — it was Mary Fletcher who often had the final say-so on familial matters. “Grandfather took her out (in El Cajon) to show her the new house he had bought because it had a lot of bedrooms so they could raise their family there,” he said. “And grandmother said after a half a day’s ride by buggy to get there, absolutely not, I’m not going to live this far out. So he had to turn around and sell it. She ruled the roost.” Col. Fletcher had a significant role in shaping the community of Del Mar, including the establishment of the Del Mar Racetrack and fairgrounds. He also directed surveyors and the mule team that dragged logs through Del Mar’s rugged hillsides and laid out the city’s plot maps in the early 1900s. Each lot had a view along Del Mar’s

FROM HERMAN COOK, B4 When they leave, after they buy a car, we want them to have great, big smiles on their faces, not horrible headaches.” Herman Cook Volkswagen’s Yelp page supports Dennis’ thoughts about his business. One user wrote in February that “this dealership does everything possible to make it a hassle-free process.” Dennis said he enjoys working in the car business because he believes car buying should be enjoyable, and not an inconvenience. “I enjoy being with people,” he said. “Usually people don’t come to a car dealership because they’re really happy to spend a lot of money. It’s not the first choice of someone’s discretionary income. When someone comes in and says they were afraid to come buy a car, and we’re

winding streets, and Col. Fletcher built the first seaside beach house in the Del Mar Beach Colony. “When I was a child, we would have Sunday picnics out here with my grandmother and grandfather all year long, not just during the summer,” said Virginia Mack Wofford, 78, whose mother was Col. Fletcher and Mary’s eighth child. Wofford even remembers the family actually having to pay people to stay at the houses on the beach during the winters to make sure the homes were protected from storms that sent waves onshore. “We paid them $25 to $50 a month to live in them because no one was here in the winter,” she said, which is startling when one considers how much year-round vacation rentals go for today. The Fletcher Fourth of July celebration also provides the family an opportune time to gather and determine which local charities will receive earnings from the Fletcher family foundation endowment. Bonnie Fletcher said once members of the family reach age 21, they’re eligible to take part in fundraising and discussions about foundation disbursements. Another big family decision? “Who has to bring the food next year,” Ron Fletcher said. “They kind of elect you.” – Rob Nikolewski is a writer for The San Diego Union-Tribune able to find a car that meets their needs and have them leave smiling, that’s a real rewarding thing for me.” He considers Volkswagen vehicles to be reliable and ever-evolving to keep up with modern technology, while still “staying true to the German engineering and being a step above their competition, both in the fit and finish of the car and in the quality of the car.” Herman Cook Volkswagen will celebrate its 50th anniversary with a public event on Saturday, July 22 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the dealership. Featured activities include a Vintage Volkswagen car show, with vehicles from 1967 or older, as well as free food and drinks, raffles and kids games.

will be made on site. “It’s pub fare but it’s sophisticated,” he said. “It has some class to it.” But if there’s one dish that encapsulates Viewpoint, it’s the bao bun pretzels, which are already catching buzz from San Diego’s food and beer bloggers. Is it the German classic that Planter learned from Chef Martin Woesle at Mille Fleurs? Or is it the Asian staple inspired by Casey Thompson — she of Top Chef fame — while he was at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe? Yes to both. “It really does personify what we are,” Planter said.

Once Viewpoint settles in, the in-house collaboration will only deepen. “We’re going to do some very cool stuff with the chefs in the back where they’re going to recommend the spices I brew with,” Katomski said. “We’re talking not just about pairing the food but actually putting some of those ingredients into the beer.” Little surprise, then, that the DIY ethic has carried over into Planter’s kitchen. He’s dehydrating the limes and making the salt for the chicken dry rub. Ditto for their house-made hot wing sauce. Even the ketchup and mayonnaise

Aug. 26; and Tacotopia, Sept. 3. Every Sunday, patrons can dine on delectables from celebrity chef Brian Malarkey at Taste of the Turf Club.

More casual fare is offered during Daybreak at Del Mar, from 7:30 to 9:30 a.m. weekends. Early risers can eat breakfast in the Clubhouse Terrace Restaurant, watch morning workouts, and gain behind-the-scenes insight from racehorse owner and former jockey Jeff Bloom. Donut Days are also back, slated from 8 to 10 a.m. July 29 and Aug. 12 in the Seaside Terrace. People of all ages can enjoy free doughnuts, orange juice and coffee, while admiring horses on the track, observing question-and-answer sessions with jockeys and trainers, and enjoying family-friendly activities. Jockey Chantal Sutherland is among the confirmed guests on July 29.

Family Weekends are on the agenda again, as well, with pony rides, inflatable rides, face painters and more in the infield. The “supersized” version, on Aug. 6, will also include bungee trampolines, rock climbing walls, Jockey Photo Day and the Webkinz plush horse giveaway for kids 12 and younger. Plushies aren’t the only items that will be given away during the summer meet.

First-time prospective buyers are encouraged to attend a New Owner Seminar; call (626) 574-6620 or go to www.toconline.com.

Bob Baker Enterprises inks lease for new corporate headquarters at Palma de la Reina Bob Baker Enterprises has leased 2,463 square feet of space for its new corporate headquarters at Palma de la Reina, a mixed-use complex located at 5531 Cancha de Golf, just off Via de la Valle in Rancho Santa Fe. Bob Baker Enterprises is expected to move in this fall. “We are proud to welcome one of Rancho Santa Fe’s most respected business leaders to Palma de la Reina,” said Richard Cavanaugh, president and CEO of Newport Pacific, Inc., owner and developer. Palma de la Reina is the final element in the Whispering Palms master plan, created by Newport Pacific, Inc. in 1962. The first business to occupy the 21,050-square-foot commercial building is Rancho Santa Fe Cosmetic and Family Dentistry, owned by longtime San Diegan Dr. Jennifer Dean. The practice features advanced diagnostic imaging and state-of-the-art dental and sterilization equipment as well as a range of high comfort amenities. The adjacent 1,427-square-foot space will soon be occupied by Bella Botox, owned by Dr. Gwendolyn Henao, a physician in private practice locally since 2005. Expected to open later this summer, Bella Botox will offer multiple cosmetic procedures and medical grade skin care regimes. There are several popular new merchants open for business in the retail portion of the project, including The Brighter Side, a boutique specializing in mastectomy products and services for women affected by breast cancer. Operated since 2003 by Solana Beach resident Mari Muscio, The Brighter Side supports women undergoing cancer treatment and recovery. An

experienced team of certified mastectomy fitters help clients with their choice of prosthesis, undergarments and swimwear, as well as wigs, scarves, headwear and skin care. Another newly opened local business is Gyrotonic Rancho Santa Fe, a gyrotonic fitness studio owned by Rancho Santa Fe resident Michelle Moon. Inspired by the art and culture of Milan, the studio offers private sessions and group classes along with a boutique showcasing an exclusive line of European active wear. Expected to open later this year is a new concept from iconic restaurateur Bob Djahanguiri, a Rancho Santa Fe resident and co-owner of the popular eatery, The Rancho Santa Fe Bistro. Djahanguiri’s concept for his new space at Palma de la Reina includes an Italian coffee house, convenience market and classic European steak house. Other new retailers expected to open soon are Whispering Palms Cleaners and Salon Draven, offering personal beauty services including hair, nails and skin care. Within the next month, both the project developer, Newport Pacific, Inc., and Cavanaugh Properties, a professional property management firm that will manage both the commercial and residential components of the Palma de la Reina project, will also be moving into the development. For more information on the residential, retail and commercial opportunities at Palma de la Reina, contact the Newport Pacific rental office at 858-756-3771 or visit www.palmadelareina.com. – Submitted press release
