SB school board OKs $105M bond for ballot BY KRISTINA HOUCK After more than a year of preparing for a potential general obligation bond, the Solana Beach School Board unanimously voted on Aug. 4 to move forward with the $105 million bond measure on the November ballot. With a need for school improvements across the district, Superintendent Terry Decker said the bond is an opportunity for the community to support public schools and protect property values. “We want to continue ensuring that we provide our students with an environment that's flexible and supports the kind of 21st century learning experiences that they need in order to be successful moving forward,” Decker said. Founded in 1925, the Solana Beach School District has seven elementary schools and a child development center. In 2014, the district opened its seventh school, Solana Ranch Elementary School, in Pacific Highlands Ranch. Other schools, however, opened decades ago and need to be updated or completely replaced. Skyline School, for example, is a very different learning environment than Solana Ranch. While Solana Ranch is new and modern, Skyline was built in 1955 and modernized in 2000. Skyline opened just one year after the old Earl Warren Middle School across the street, which San Dieguito Union High School District is currently rebuilding with use of its SEE BOND, A20

Del Mar fair board to discuss gun shows BY KRISTINA HOUCK The board of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which runs the state-owned Del Mar Fairgrounds, will soon discuss the issues surrounding holding gun shows at the site. Board members agreed to put the item on the October agenda after hearing from two members of the newly-formed group, Advocates for Gun Safety, as well as receiving a letter signed by more than two dozen representatives hailing from Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Solana Beach and La Jolla. “We believe that — in the current climate of anger and fear over increasing gun violence, and the reasonable, legitimate and growing concerns of an increasing number of San Diegans about gun violence — continuing to allow SEE GUNS, A21

Accomplished Chief Marshal Tom Carruthers retires after 31 years of service BY KAREN BILLING Chief Deputy U.S. Marshal Tom Carruthers made a career of capturing wanted fugitives and bringing them to justice, from the streets of Baltimore to remote villages in Cameroon. “I would find people behind sinks, under installation in the attics, in crawl spaces,” said Carruthers, who retired Aug. 1 after 31 years of service with the U.S. Marshals. “That’s what happens when you’re the littlest guy on the team.” What the Carmel Valley resident loved about being a marshal was that it was different every day: Extraditions of dangerous drug traffickers, prison transfers, “hunting down a bad guy,” protecting judges, protecting witnesses and asset forfeiture — all those things could happen in a week. Carruthers spent the bulk of his career in Washington, D.C., but took over the Southern California District seven years ago. As the workload and responsibilities doubled, he fought for more equipment and manpower. His efforts paid off when his district was awarded as the best in the U.S. in 2011.

“He spent thousands of unpaid extra hours so that San Diego and all of Southern California can be safer and better protected from the worst criminals on Earth,” said his wife Cathy. “All the time, 31 years, keeping a low profile, never wanting praise, just wanting to do his job with integrity and leave our streets a safer place.” He was shot at four times in his career and his most serious injury was blowing out his knee while chasing a guy — “I still got him,” Carruthers Tom Carruthers said. “I never lost anybody I chased.” He is proud that in his career no one, not his deputy marshals or one of the “bad guys,” was ever gravely injured. He ensured that his marshals were training every week so they knew how to react in all kinds of situations, to make sure that they went home safe to their loved ones. On June 22 in Washington, D.C., Carruthers was honored with the Meritorious Service Award for Top U.S. Marshal, essentially his lifetime achievement

award. The mandatory retirement age is 57 and while his chase speed has slowed some, Carruthers said he might’ve done the job for a lot longer. A career in law enforcement seemed likely for Carruthers from the beginning. “My mother always said I always knew the right way to do things and the wrong way to do things, even when I was 4 years old,” he said. He started his career in the U.S. Marshal Service in 1985 in Washington, D.C.’s Superior Court office. One of his very first operations was a sting called “Flagship International Sports TV.” With FIST, the Marshals sent out fliers to 500 of their “closest friends” and told them they had won tickets to a Redskins game. “Over 100 showed up and when they showed their ids to get the tickets, we locked them all up,” Carruthers said. “It was a great sting. We even had a guy dressed up as the San Diego Chicken there.” The criminals arrested that day had outstanding warrants for 90 felonies and 70 misdemeanors. In Washington, D.C., he worked on the SEE MARSHAL, A20

Del Mar’s pot ban to remain until after November election BY EDWARD SIFUENTES After adopting an emergency ban on medical marijuana in January, the Del Mar City Council decided last week to wait until after the November election before drafting a more permanent policy. The council enacted the emergency ban because it believed, as did many other cities, that the state would impose regulations by Feb. 28, 2016, on cities without their own marijuana rules. Gov. Jerry Brown later signed a bill removing the deadline. During the Aug. 1 Del Mar council meeting, city staff presented several options
on what the city could do next, including keeping the temporary ban in place or drafting permanent regulations. Council members said they preferred to wait until after the election because the statewide ballot includes an initiative that would legalize recreational marijuana. “I think it’s premature to take any action since this is on the ballot in November and I propose that we re-examine the issue after we know where that vote goes,” said Councilman Don Mosier. Last year, Brown signed a package of SEE POT BAN, A22
Ballots appear to be crowded for Del Mar, Solana Beach councils BY KRISTINA HOUCK It looks like the county’s two smallest cities are going to have crowded ballots for council this year. There are three council members with terms that expire in both Del Mar and Solana Beach. In Del Mar, Councilman Don Moiser has reportedly decided not to run for re-election in November. The other two incumbents, Mayor Sherryl Parks and Councilman Al Corti, have already pulled nomination papers. Both are currently serving their first terms on the
council. As of Aug. 9, seven other potential candidates have pulled nomination papers, including Jim Benedict, a member of the city’s finance committee; David Druker, the city’s former mayor and councilman; Barry Entous; a member of the city’s finance committee; Ellen Haviland, a member of the city’s planning commission; Karen Powell, vice president of promotions of Del Mar Village Association; Greg Rothnem, a former attorney with a background in business development; and T.

Stakes doubleheader featured at Del Mar racetrack, Aug. 6 Del Mar racetrack hosted a stakes doubleheader on Saturday, Aug. 6. In the Grade III, $150,000 La Jolla Handicap, 25-1 long shot Free Rose (pictured, second from right) led from start to finish, and held off Lucky Bryan to prevail by a half-length. Moonlight Drive was another half-length behind in third. The 3-year-old Free Rose, with Joe Talamo in the saddle, traveled the 1 1/16 miles on the turf course in 1:40.73. “I got the horse late at Santa Anita, so I’ve had him for almost two months,” trainer Richard Baltas said. “He looked like a nice horse on the turf (in races at Churchill Downs and Keeneland). I didn’t think he could be this kind to begin with, but his last race (July 23 at Del Mar) he ran a very good race when third against some tough older horses. (Saturday), he controlled the pace and he really gutted it out when he was challenged.” Free Rose, owned by Abbondanza Racing, is expected to run next in the Grade II, $250,000 Del Mar Derby on Sept. 4. In the day’s co-feature, Champagne Room recorded her first victory, which came in the Grade II, $200,000 Sorrento Stakes. Additional stakes winners at Del Mar this past week included Green With Eddie ($100,000 Graduation Stakes), So Sweetitiz ($85,380 Daisycutter Handicap) and Sobradora Inc ($80,035 Osunitas Stakes). — Kelley Carlson

Voices for Children’s Starry Starry Night gala returns Del Mar residents Nancy and David Doyle to chair the event BY KRISTINA HOUCK Voices for Children’s “Starry Starry Night” gala returns Sept. 24 to the San Diego Polo Club in Rancho Santa Fe, and this year’s event co-chairs have a particularly close connection to the cause. Del Mar residents Nancy and David Doyle have been longtime supporters of Voices for Children, a San Diego-based nonprofit organization that recruits, trains and supervises volunteer Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASAs). CASAs advocate for the rights and well-being of children living in San Diego County’s foster care system. “It gives us a chance to say how much Voices for Children means to us,” Nancy Doyle said about co-chairing the event. Nancy can speak about the important role of CASAs firsthand because she once served as a CASA volunteer. Nancy learned about the foster care system in San Diego and Los Angeles counties through her career, and later through her work with Voices for Children. She is a former teacher who served at the San Diego Juvenile Court and Community Schools. She also served as a commissioner on the San Diego Juvenile Justice Commission and as a

member of the San Diego County Grand Jury. Beginning in 2005, Nancy became a CASA, working with an 18-month-old boy in Los Angeles. “It really was because of your insight and advocacy that he was adopted,” David said. “Any CASA would have done what I did,” Nancy insisted. In just 18 months, Tommy had been in five foster homes and had six social workers. Nancy recalled visiting him in the mornings. “He had no interest in me whatsoever,” she remembered. “But CASAs always come back and they never let that stop them,” added Nancy’s

Nancy later discovered that Tommy had no interest in anybody in the morning. And, unfortunately, that’s when potential foster and adoptive parents visited him. After making a new rule that Tommy would only see visitors after noon, the little boy showed interest in the very first person who stopped by for a visit. And during a second visit with the same man, Tommy started talking. “I get goosebumps just thinking about it,” said Nancy, whose eyes filled with tears during an interview at her Del Mar home.
That man officially became Tommy’s father about two years later. Nancy attended the adoption ceremony. Today, Tommy is a happy and healthy 12-year-old boy. “Any CASA would see that. It was so obvious,” Nancy said about Tommy being particularly fussy in the morning. “But a social worker wouldn’t see it because there had been so many.” There are 960 CASA programs nationwide. Founded in 1980, Voices for Children is the third largest CASA program in the country. Voices for Children has 1,500 CASAs.

TPHS grad finally meets her foster animals in Kenya BY KAREN BILLING Ever since the sixth grade, Shannon Yogerst has been longing to get to Africa to meet the orphaned animals she has sponsored with her own money from birthdays, holidays and funds earned from racking up field hockey goals. Shannon finally got the opportunity to go to Africa on the trip of a lifetime with her father, Joe, this year, her senior year at Torrey Pines High. Her spring trip to Kenya included a visit to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust’s Elephant and Rhino Orphanage in Nairobi to meet her adopted elephant, Kamok, and her adopted rhino, Maxwell. Shannon has always loved animals, especially elephants, and was motivated to action after seeing conservationist Daphne Sheldrick on an episode of “Oprah,” talking about her work with elephants orphaned by the ivory trade. Daphne Sheldrick worked alongside her husband, David, raising and rehabilitating wild species. Daphne is credited with perfecting a milk formula and husbandry for milk-dependent orphaned elephant and rhino infants. Shannon learned that to sponsor an elephant cost $40 a month to provide nutrition and care so she saved up her money to adopt an elephant named Tumaren. In the seventh grade, she added to her pack, adopting a blind rhino orphan named Maxwell who was found running around aimlessly in Nairobi with no sign of his mother. “You feel like you’re very involved, they

They love what they do and they are dedicated to the animals every single day.” After Tumaren outgrew the elephant orphanage and was released back into the wild, Shannon took on Kamok, an elephant, in her sophomore year at Torrey Pines. Shannon’s father, Joe, had saved up his frequent flier miles to get his daughter to Kenya and the pair had expected to travel last year. The Ebola outbreak caused them to delay their trip to spring of 2016.

Over the 16-day trip, they traveled all around Kenya by small plane and by car. Some days she spent 10 hours in a jeep and it all depended on luck which animals she would see. Turning a corner into a herd of 200 elephants or seeing a pack of lions were among Shannon’s incredible experiences. “Everywhere we went we saw something completely different,” Shannon said. She watched the sunset over Mount Kilimanjaro and met Masai women in their village in Tsavo West. Shannon was able to get up close and personal with giraffes in a giraffe sanctuary, watch monkeys play and spot leopards in

At the elephant orphanage in Nairobi, Shannon finally got to meet Kamok and Maxwell. She was led into the forest to meet Kamok — she could’ve never expected what she saw: 40 elephants shoulder high, all playing and rolling around in the mud. “They’re mischievous, they’re just like kids,” Shannon said, noting two-year-old Kamok was the naughtiest one. “She came up to me and put her trunk in my face and sniffed all around.

TPHS student helps feed San Diego families in need BY KAREN BILLING Torrey Pines High School senior Pearl Park is helping to ensure that no kid has to wonder where their next meal will come with her efforts with FULL, a project out of her Carmel Valley Whatever it Takes (WIT) class. WIT is the only college credit social entrepreneur and leadership program for high school teens in the county. Teens learn how to do whatever it takes to design, launch and manage a social enterprise and when they complete the program they earn six units of college credit from the UC San Diego Extension. Pearl’s project is part of Whatever It Takes, a social entrepreneurship program based in San Diego that helps high school students develop their own social entrepreneurship enterprises for college credit. With the FULL project, Pearl aims to help those facing food insecurities over breaks from school when free or reduced-price meals are not available for children. FULL provides students and their families with nutritious groceries purchased with donations or donated by companies such as NuttZo, KIND Snacks, Perfect Bar, Whole Foods and Sprouts. On July 30 Pearl held her second FULL event, distributing groceries to 40 families in need from Kit Carson
direct donations. She also connected with the Senior Gleaners of San Diego County, who glean excess food from area fields and orchards as well as from grocery stores and packing sheds. She held her first distribution event over spring break at the Bayside Community Center — over 50 families came to “shop” from donations, which included freshly baked loafs donated by Bread and Cie. For the summer event, she used a volunteer site to help get more of the community involved. She had a great mix of volunteers on July 30, who also gave out handmade cards to the kids. She also got to share the WIT mission and one student volunteer was interested in looking into the program as a chance to make a difference. “I think just being a part of WIT is a really eye-opening experience because you get to meet people that share the same interests as you,” Pearl said. “We share ideas and it opens up a huge community because of the connections that WIT gives you to businesses and the nonprofit industry. It’s very helpful.” For more information on WIT, visit doingwit.org.

Pearl took over the FULL project last year when she joined the new Carmel Valley WIT chapter, the third in San Diego — the 30-week course also has classes in University City and at the downtown Central Library. Pearl decided to join WIT after its founder, Sarah Hernholm, visited her marketing class and spoke about how the course gives teens a voice, allowing them to learn

FULL had already been established but the WIT student running it had graduated and the program had gone dormant for two years. Pearl decided to take it on. “I love cooking and baking myself. When I heard about FULL it really
intrigued me because I would get to deal with people personally,” Pearl said. As she learned, one in five children struggle with hunger and 22 percent of American children are living below the poverty line. Forty-nine million Americans lack access to sufficient nutritious food on a regular basis. In taking over FULL, Pearl made a few tweaks — in the past donations were mostly monetary and it seemed like a lot more work. She decided to instead approach companies for

‘Rockin’ the Ranch’ event to benefit children’s hospital BY KRISTINA HOUCK Dedicated to providing medical care and disease prevention education to children, the staff and volunteers of the Foundation for the Children of the Californias would practically give their blood, sweat and tears to keep kids healthy on both sides of the border. Therefore, it makes sense that to continue to provide critical support, the foundation is inviting the community to its fourth annual Concert for the Kids, titled ‘Rockin’ the Ranch,’ Aug. 27, 5 p.m. at The Inn at Rancho Santa Fe, where this year the band Blood, Sweat & Tears will perform at the fundraiser. “It’s such a wonderful cause,” said Dionicia Lozoya, executive director of the Foundation for the Children of the Californias. Event proceeds will support the development of a new onsite dental clinic at the Hospital Infantil de las Californias, a 56,000-square-foot pediatric complex that offers outpatient services in 25 specialties. A dentist previously leased space at the facility, which is a half-mile into Baja California, Mexico, but he did not renew his lease in 2015. In the past, the hospital provided dental services to about 425 children every month, totaling 5,100 patients per year. “Because there’s such a high demand for specialized pediatric dental services, we needed to do something,” Lozoya said. “Funds from the event will help us purchase equipment needed for us to have updated, quality state-of-the-art services for these kids.” Funds raised will also support the hospital’s
The previous clinic at the Hospital Infantil de las Californias “Programa de Apoyo a Pacientes Indigentes,” a program for indigent patients, as well as foundation operations. Thanks to a match from Price Philanthropies, up to $100,000 in funds raised will be doubled. “That gift will really kickstart our fundraising for the dental program,” said Maura Molish, development associate for the Foundation for the Children of the Californias. In September, the foundation is partnering with the Milargo Foundation to present “The Ultimate Experience with Carlos Santana,” on Sept. 24 at the House of Blues in Las Vegas. The private cocktail party and tequila tasting with musician Carlos Santana featuring his signature tequila, Casa Noble, will help develop the new Santana Telehealth project between a medical clinic that Santana
Blood, Sweat & Tears built in his hometown of Autlan, Mexico, and Hospital Infantil de las Californias in Tijuana. “These partners and supporters are priceless,” Lozoya said. “We literally could not do it without donors.” In an effort to improve the health and nutrition of children, the Foundation for the Children of the Californias was founded in 1994. In this tri-national collaboration with the United States, Mexico and Canada, pediatric professionals joined forces with academic, business and civic leaders from the three countries to open and operate the pediatric medical center in northwestern

Adams is dominating Cape League competition CCA alum plays college baseball at USD
MASON SHOULTZ/USD PHOTO
CCA alum Riley Adams tears around the bases during a University of San Diego game this spring.
BY THOMAS JOYCE In order to prove oneself as the best, one must compete well against the best competition possible. This summer, Encinitas native Riley Adams is doing just that. More than 3,000 miles away from home, Adams is playing catcher for the Orleans Firebirds of the Cape Cod Baseball League. In doing so, the Canyon Crest Academy product is playing in what is widely considered to be the top summer collegiate baseball league in the country. The rising junior at the University of San Diego might be used to playing ball in and around his hometown. But geography is not preventing Adams from enjoying his Cape League tenure this summer. “It’s been a blast playing against some of the best competition in the country and that college ball has to offer,” he said. “I can’t complain there. Everything’s been great so far.” Statistically, Adams has been one of the best players on The
Cape this summer. Through 28 regular season games, Adams had hit .346 with six doubles and an .831 OPS. And yes, he was named a Cape League All-Star. What has been the secret to Adams’ success? He said he is confident and does not overthink what he does. “I go into every game thinking I’m going to hang with the best of the best,” Adams said. “It is a good feeling, but it’s only one summer and I’ve got many more years to go.” There is a heavy scouting presence at Cape League games and given Adams’ performance, it seems likely teams would be looking at him as he is eligible for next year’s draft. He was selected out of high school by the Chicago Cubs in the 37th round of the 2014 MLB draft, but did not sign. If he is thinking about the draft this time around, however, he did not admit it. “There’s so much that could go on in the next eight months or so,” Adams said. “I’m not thinking too far ahead, I’m just going out there and playing ball. That’s all I can do, so I’ll stick with that. “I’m keeping it simple,” he continued. “See the ball, hit the ball. Catching, I’m just trying to
build a good relationship with the pitchers because that’s the most important part. I’m not trying to do anything too fancy. I’m just going out there and playing baseball like everyone else is.” Adams is taking this summer to work on becoming the best player possible in every aspect of the game. He mentioned both his hitting and defense as areas he could improve upon. Of course, Adams is optimistic he will be able to parlay his Cape League success into a big year at USD next spring. It should not be difficult for him either, as he hit .327 with six home runs and a .955 OPS in 56 college games this spring. And as far as schools go, Adams knew when he was offered the opportunity to play for a Division I program locally, he couldn’t pass up the opportunity. “It is quite a nice thing to be so close to my family,” he said. “They get to come to every single game. USD is a beautiful campus. I’ve got some great coaching and some great teammates. I’m very fortunate they’ve helped me along the way. I’ve got no complaints and no regrets about forgoing the draft in 2014 to go to USD. It’ll pay off for me in the end.”

SDJA's Mayer twins take different paths BY GIDEON RUBIN Gabe Mayer’s football career ended in music camp. The incoming San Diego Jewish Academy (SDJA) junior was at the prestigious Interlochen Center for the Arts in Michigan over the summer when he explained to his coach in a text message that he wouldn’t be returning to his starting nose tackle position. Mayer didn’t arrive at his decision easily. He enjoyed the camaraderie in his first year of organized football playing with his twin brother Sebastian. But he understood that the intense competition for a music scholarship that he was pursuing was incompatible with the grueling demands of the football program. Gabe Mayer has played the viola since he was 4, and the risk of a hand injury could impact his ability to prepare for late 2017 auditions. Sebastian Mayer plans to play for the Lions, who expect to field an 8-man team with a roster of about 15 players. Sebastian is one of the team’s best athletes. He plays running back and backup quarterback. “It was a tough decision, but eventually I decided if I want to pursue the thing I want to be more serious about I can’t play football,” Gabe Mayer said. “It’s too big a time commitment and the risk of injury is too much.” It was an especially tough decision because the Lions are struggling to keep their football program growing amid dwindling numbers at a school with an enrollment of less than 200. “I felt like I was letting a lot of people down because it’s such a small team,” he said. Gabe Mayer’s quandary reflects the challenge that small schools around the nation face, with the demands of outside activities and academic pressures, and growing safety concerns amid revelations about the risk of head injuries. “I think it ties into kind of the story of a lot of our kids being overloaded, you’ve got a very high academic caliber community and a lot of opportunities to do things,” SDJA coach Skip Carpowich said. SDJA takes pride in offering the opportunity to do other things. The school is in the process of expanding its music and arts program in the upper and lower schools, their mother, Heidi Gantwerk said. Gantwerk sits on SDJA’s school board. “The arts are critical and should be broadly available to the kids at our school,” she said. “It’s very important to me and it’s very important to a lot of people there.” Both Mayer twins are involved in the local music community. Gabe performs in school ensembles and also plays in San Diego’s New Youth Orchestra and a chamber group. Both regularly perform (Sebastian plays guitar and sings) at their synagogue, Congregation Beth Israel. Gabe is on the student council, and

Sebastian a leader on the school’s ambassadorship program. The Mayer twins are also battery mates (Sebastian pitches and Gabe catches) on the baseball team, which last season advanced to the San Diego Section Division V championship game. Gabe also plays on the basketball team, which Sebastian manages. Gantwerk said she believes the benefits of football and other sports outweigh safety concerns, and continues to encourage their athletic endeavors. “My husband and I feel really strongly that kids need to be excited to go to school, and we want our kids to explore and try new things,” she said. “Whatever it is that gets them excited to get up in the morning and go to school, we’re pretty much on board with that, and sports has been a huge boon at the academy. “It’s just been fantastic, and we were up for it.” Sebastian Mayer is up for keeping the football program going. He’s become an integral part of the program since making the team as a freshman and being a starting running back. He replaced Jordan Battaglia at quarterback halfway through the season last year. Their older brother, Isaac Mayer, played for San Diego Jewish Academy in 2011. “It was a really big deal for the school to have the first Jewish football team in the county,” Sebastian Mayer said. “We play Thursday nights, we don’t play Friday nights because of Shabbat, so we don’t have a million people come to the games, but it’s always been a tradition that’s instilled in the school and the culture and we want to keep it going.”

Summer Run Club celebrates big finish with 5K BY KAREN BILLING The Summer Run Club 5K was held in Solana Ranch Park on Sunday, Aug. 7, capping off a summer of family fitness. Led by Sheri Kono, kids and parents have gathered two mornings a week in this warm and sunny summer to log laps and work on their strength, ability and speed in a fun way. Each kid kept a journal where they set goals and marked their progress. The 5K is a celebration of how far they have all come together with runners crossing the finish line with smiles and high fives, earning a race medal. For the second year in a row,11-year-old Sean Kono was the winner of the 5K, finishing in a swifty 24:13. Sheri Kono first started a lunchtime running club at Solana Highlands School in 2011 and the first Summer Run Club was held in 2013 with a 5K run around the campus. She moved to the new Solana Ranch School in 2014 and this is the second Summer Run Club 5K to be held at the park. Kono said she is always amazed by the improvements everyone makes within one summer as well as from one year to the next. Kono said she is grateful for the generosity of local businesses that sponsored the race and provided prizes for the post-race raffle, including Souplantation, Baked Bear, Luna Grill, Westroot Tavern, Movin’ Shoes, Panera Bread, Coast Pediatrics, Trader Joe’s, Brigantine and Miguel’s, Wired Fitness, Road ID, Kashi and the Carlsbad 5000. The Run Club kids signed their names to thank you cards for the sponsors.

Internet Speeds: How much do you really need? At its onset, Internet was relegated to dialup connections that provided very slow speeds. Those old enough may recall the times of busy signals and interrupted connections due to shared phone lines. As technology changed, a broadband connection offered much higher speeds and uninterrupted connections. Extremely slow connections may be measured in kilobits per second (Kbps), although most speeds are now measured in megabits per second (Mbps). The higher the number of bytes you are able to download per second, the faster your connection. In order to fully understand how Internet speeds work, let’s define a few key terms: • Streaming. Content you stream is audio or video data transmitted continuously and refers to the delivery method, not the data itself. Streamed content is not saved anywhere on your device. • Downloading. When you download a file, whether it be a movie, a song or something else, the item is copied onto your device from another source. This is typically done over the Internet. • Uploading. When you upload a file, you are copying it from your device to another location, such as uploading
your weekend photos to your social media accounts. Perhaps you stream, download and upload, maybe you only do one of these. There are several factors to keep in mind when determining how much Internet speed your household needs, including the number of users, the types of use (basic web browsing, media sharing, streaming content, file downloading, online gaming, video chat, cloud storage, streaming music, etc.), frequency of use and the number of devices in your home. Keep in mind that even if you live solo, your home may have several devices connected to your home Internet, including mobile devices, TVs, gaming systems, laptops, tablets and other electronics.
• Gigabit Internet speed is the next generation of broadband Internet service, delivering speed to power all your devices in the home at the same time, whether you’re using your mobile devices, video streaming, gaming or have a home office. What can you do with gigabit Internet speeds? Gigabit speeds offer Internet that is 100 times faster than the average speed in the U.S. today. With a gig, you can: • Run ALL your devices at the same time • Download an HD movie in less than 60 seconds
• 10 Mbps speeds are good for light Internet users who check email and surf the Internet a few times a week and have one standard-definition television.
• Download 100 songs in three seconds
• 100 Mpbs speeds are good for more advanced web browsing and watching high-definition video streaming.
How can I be sure I have the appropriate Internet speed?
• 300 Mbps speeds are good for gaming, teleconferencing, ultra-high-definition streams, and a household of high end users.
look at your needs or visit a Cox Solutions store today to discover the Internet speed package that’s best for you. You could save time, money and bandwidth!
• Upload about 1,000 photos in about a minute
Now that you have a clearer picture of Internet speeds and how much your household needs, it’s best to consult an expert.Visitcox.com/speedtestandusethe Cox Speed Advisor tool for a customized
Director of Product Marketing, Ryland, is always happy to share tips on Internet speeds and so are Cox in-store representatives. Visit a Cox Solutions Store today or call (877) 206-4210 for more information on Internet speeds.

Kudos to Seaweeder Garden Club To the Seaweeder Garden Club: Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! The amazing transformation that has taken place over the past several years with the landscaping at the Solana Beach Post Office is just amazing.

An embarrassing eyesore has been made a thing of beauty. Your Team Seaweeder efforts are very evident, very public and very much appreciated. You have made a huge difference in our very special community. John Steel Solana Beach

Time to plan that back-to-school checklist TO YOUR HEALTH
F
or many school-aged children, summer break is coming to an end soon. The new school year is just around the corner. For parents, it’s time to get that checklist ready, the one that makes sure your child gets off to a good, healthy start in the classroom. The following are top things to know to help get your child ready for the first day of school: Schedule a checkup Don’t wait too long to make an appointment with your pediatrician. Appointments tend Dr. Nicholas to fill up fast as the first day of school approaches with requests Levy for sports physicals, immunization updates and annual checkups. A back-to-school checkup is an ideal time for your child’s physician to conduct a thorough physical exam and address any health concerns, including any ongoing condition such as diabetes, asthma or allergies as well as special dietary needs and medications. Update immunizations Remember, children are required to have received certain vaccinations to attend school or child care in California. It’s important to stay informed about school immunization requirements because of recent changes. A new state law took effect this year eliminating personal and religious belief exemptions to school immunization requirements. Exemptions are allowed but only for children with valid medical conditions such as an immune system disorder. August is National Immunization Awareness Month, a time to discuss the importance of vaccinations. Talk to your pediatrician about any vaccine concerns or visit physician-recommended websites such as www.shotsforschool.org or http://www.sdiz.org/, which are run by California
and San Diego County health departments respectively and contain frequently asked questions about immunization school-entry requirements in the state. “Parents should not lose sight of the diseases that vaccinations protect their children against,” said Nicholas Levy, M.D., pediatrician at Scripps Coastal Medical Center Encinitas. “Vaccines prepare the immune system to recognize and fight serious, and sometimes deadly, diseases,” he said. Vaccination requirements vary by age. Immunizations required to attend kindergarten and transitional kindergarten: • Diphtheria, tetanus and pertussis (DTaP, DTP, or DT) •Polio •Hepatitis B •Measles, mumps, and rubella (MMR) • Varicella (Chickenpox) Immunizations required to start 7th grade: •Tetanus, diphtheria, pertussis (Tdap) •Measles (MMR) Other recommended childhood and adolescent immunizations: •One dose against meningococcal disease (brain or blood infection) at age 11 or 12 and a booster dose at age 16 years •Yearly immunization against flu (influenza) •The human papillomavirus (HPV) 3 shot series Get back to school schedule Staying up late and sleeping in are OK during the summer – until it’s time to prepare to return into the classroom. A transition period is strongly advised. Do yourself a favor and encourage your child to go to bed earlier and wake up earlier several days before classes start. Make time for a healthy breakfast so by the time school starts, your child will be used to the change in routine. Dr. Levy recommends enforcing bedtime rules four to five days before the first day of school. “Waking up early without getting enough sleep is not a good way to start the school day,” Dr. Levy
said. “For many students, especially high school students, this is a critical period when they are looking to meet requirements to get into the college of their choice.” Recommended hours of sleep vary according to age. For children ages 6 to 12, it’s nine to 12 hours and for 13 to 18-year-olds, it’s eight to 10 hours, according to some physicians. Reduce back-to-school anxiety Feeling anxious is normal, even expected, during any period of significant change. In the days leading up to the start of classes, your child may feel worried about getting used to new teachers, making new friends or just fitting into a new classroom environment. Listen to your child’s concerns and work on developing a plan together to handle situations. Dr. Levy recommends one simple strategy to reduce back-to-school anxiety. Plan for your child and a friend who is entering the same grade to meet outside the school so that they can walk in together, he said. “This can alleviate a lot of stress,” Dr. Levy said. “To Your Health” is brought to you by the physicians and staff at Scripps Health.

Correction In last week's paper (Aug. 5), we incorrectly reported that real estate broker Robert Feher had filed to run for a seat on the Santa Fe Irrigation District Board. According to the county Registrar of Voters' web site, Feher received nomination papers on July 27, but as of Tuesday morning, Aug. 9, he had not filed the completed paperwork with the Registrar's office. The filing deadline is Aug. 12, which will be extended to Aug.17 if the incumbent who currently holds the seat, Alan Smerican, does not run for re-election.

Maxwell, Shannon found, is also known to be quite mischievous and tries to escape his pen.

FROM BOND, A1 Proposition AA funds, a general obligation bond that passed in 2012. “We have a commitment to parity, to providing an equitable environment for all of our children,” Decker said. “We have the ability to speak to parity when it comes to our staff and our instructional program, in terms of curriculum, but we certainly do not have parity when it comes to our facilities. We have brand-new learning environments and some that are very aged and very much in need of replacement.” There are a variety of needs at aging campuses such as 45-year-old Solana Vista and 30-year-old Solana Highlands schools. These schools need to be modernized in order to run more efficiently, he said. However, the district’s Long-Range Facilities Master Plan identifies various projects at every school site, from replacing or upgrading outdated classrooms, science labs, libraries and school buildings, to restoring deteriorating roofs, plumbing and electrical systems, and from improving student safety and campus security, to providing students access to educational facilities, science and technology needed to prepare for high school,

Event organizers said they changed the location to introduce the Foundation for the Children of the Californias to new potential supporters. “The Inn is just such a charming, cozy environment,” Molish said. “It will just be a very community-oriented event.” About 600 people are expected at the event, which includes a gourmet dinner, opportunity drawing, and live and silent auction.

college and careers. It also accounts for the addition of an eighth school in Pacific Highlands Ranch to meet student needs and reduce overcrowding. “Because of our teachers and our staff and our administrators, we offer a first-rate education with third-rate buildings, especially in Solana Beach,” said board member Richard Leib, a 20-year resident of Solana Beach. “This is an opportunity for us to go to a first-rate education with first-rate facilities, which I think is super important. “I think our students deserve it, I think our parents deserve it, and I think our teachers deserve it. Actually, all homeowners within the district deserve it because we offer such a great school district, I think it’s well worth the investment to continue that and offer those people a good school.” The district also needs to replace portable classrooms with permanent buildings. Decker said 17 percent of the classrooms in the district are portables. “We want to be able to move those off the campuses, and instead, put our children in permanent structures that really meet the needs as they move forward,” he said. Under Proposition 39, general obligation bonds require a 55 percent voter approval and limit
FROM MARSHAL, A3 eviction team and was assigned to run high-threat trials and transports and fugitive investigations. He remembers the names and stories of his most notable captures, from the time he tracked a German fugitive for over a year, patiently sitting surveillance at a known destination until he popped up; to nabbing and extraditing an Australian fugitive who had stolen $5 million after an extensive two-year manhunt. In 2005, after Theresa Mubang didn’t show up to her sentencing for fraud, Marshals were acting on a warrant when they found an 11-year-old girl in Mubang’s closet. Mubang had smuggled the girl in from Camaroon and used her as a child slave. Because the U.S. doesn’t have an extradition treaty with Cameroon, to bring Mubang to justice required a detailed and coordinated effort to get her out of the country that Carruthers said seemed like something out of a movie. “It’s just amazing sometimes, the gall people have to do harm to others,” Carruthers said. “To lock them up and put them away is satisfying, when they have violated somebody’s rights and need to be held accountable for their crimes.” Being a Marshal sometimes took a fair amount of juggling as cases could come up at any time. When he was called to go to Africa on the Mubang case, the call came at 10 a.m. to be on a 1 p.m. flight. In 1998 on Super Bowl night, he was contacted by headquarters due to death threats to Judge Kenneth Starr while he was investigating President Bill Clinton. Carruthers set up a multi-jurisdictional protection detail and rarely saw his wife Cathy over the course of four months. After 9/11 happened, he had to tell Cathy he honestly did not know when he was going to be home. Marshals were called on to provide security at airports such as Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport. tax rates to $30 per $100,000 in assessed home value. If passed, the bond would represent an increase of $272 per year for the average homeowner in the Solana Beach School District. “These funds will be used for construction, reconstruction and modernization,” Decker reiterated. “All the funds stay local. The state can not reach in and take out any of the funds from a local school bond. The funds will not be used to fund either teacher or administrator salaries.” As part of that transparency, Decker noted that Prop 39 also requires an independent oversight committee of citizens. In addition, there are annual reports and audits that will come before the board. There will also be a statewide $9 billion school construction bond on the ballot in November, in which districts will be able to qualify for matching funds for facilities projects. If the statewide bond passes, the district will be eligible for $20 million in matching funds so its $105 million could turn into $125 million. “I think we have a very involved community that believes this is the right thing to do for our kids and for our community,” said board vice president Debra Schade. “I think it’s the right time.” “At this time, I believe the
“(Cathy) trusted in how I was trained and in my ability to do my job,” he said. “I think she was more proud of it than worried. I was fortunate that she gave me that backing and allowed me to do all the things I was able to do.” After taking over the District of Maryland, Greenbelt sub office, he coordinated efforts for the capture of the Beltway Snipers. After Lee Boyd Malvo and John Allen Muhammad were arrested, he was in charge of all aspects of their case, including the final transport out of district to face multiple murder charges. After spending two years working in human relations as the deputy chief of personnel security and employee relations, he returned to the field in the Southern California district. He took over as Chief in 2011 and was forced to develop a game plan for an “explosion of prisoners.” He found alternatives and developed unique housing capabilities for over 3,600 prisoners with only 1,952 beds in the district. Crushed by an increased workload, Carruthers fought to get the district staff the resources they needed do their jobs safely and efficiently with no violations of prisoners’ rights and no officers or prisoners hurt. “These guys do an incredible amount of work,” Carruthers said of his 151 employees, which included 128 deputies. “They do what’s asked of them and they do it well…The men and women of the U.S. Marshal Service get the job done, resources or not.” In his 31-year career, there weren’t a lot of off days. Carruthers is looking forward to “decompressing” and seeing what doors will open next for him. He is interested in volunteer opportunities — U.S. Marshals had often participated in charity efforts for groups such as Special Olympics and Make-A-Wish. “At this point, it’s about giving back,” Carruthers said, ever humble of all he has already given to help keep all families safe. “It’s bittersweet to leave but I’m looking forward to a new challenge.”
district has a need, not just a want to go for a bond,” board member Julie Union agreed. “The stage is set, and I don’t see how timing is going to be any better in the future.” Prior to the vote, the board formed a school facilities improvement district. While preparing for a potential bond, the district’s bond counsel discovered a standing agreement between the school district and land developer Pardee Homes that precludes the district from including two neighborhoods in a bond initiative. The development agreements, which date back to 1998 and 2004, contain language that limits certain elections and tax measures until 10 years after the last building permit has been issued. To date, approximately 900 of the 1,997 homes have been constructed, said Caroline Brown, the district’s executive director of capital programs and technology. Therefore, in order to move forward with the bond measure, the district formed a school facilities improvement district, or SFID, over all of the district’s territory other than the Pardee properties in Pacific Highlands Ranch. This action followed the board’s July 14 adoption of a resolution that stated its intention to form a school facilities
improvement district. Both communities are already included in community facilities districts, also known as CFDs, in which special taxes are placed on homeowners’ property tax bills to fund schools and improvements. Thus, residents in those areas will not be allowed to vote on the school district’s bond measure. The projects financed by the SFID will generally be located within and principally benefit the territory within the SFID. If voters pass the district’s bond, Solana Beach School District plans to start with the reconstruction of Skyline. The district plans to submit plans for the project to the Division of the State Architect by the fall. The Division of State Architect provides design and construction oversight for K-12 schools, community colleges, and various other state-owned and leased facilities. If plans are approved by spring 2017, construction could begin in June 2017 for a new school to open in fall 2018. “The goal is to get our children into high-quality facilities as soon as possible,” Decker said. “Another component here is to ensure that our community sees that if they support us with a bond, we’re going to hit the ground running and we’re going to move quickly.”
www.delmartimes.net FROM GUNS, A1 the public fairgrounds facilities for gun shows is damaging to your reputation as a wholesome, family-oriented venue, and to the brand of the Del Mar Fairgrounds,” the letter states. “Being the home to the largest gun shows in the country does not serve your long-term interests.” On July 9, Advocates for Gun Safety rallied for gun violence prevention across the street from the fairgrounds, where the two-day Crossroads of the West gun show was taking place. About two dozen people participated in the demonstration. Del Mar resident Rose Ann Sharp, who organized the small peaceful protest, urged the board on Aug. 9 to discuss the issue at a future meeting. “The fairgrounds are an iconic part of Del Mar,” said Sharp, who has lived in Del Mar for 20 years. “The glorification of guns does not square with the fairgrounds’ opportunity to provide wholesome family entertainment.” The July 9 rally was the first demonstration by the group, which is mostly comprised of people from Carmel Valley, Del Mar and Solana Beach. Demonstrators wore orange shirts and held a 1,000-foot long yellow banner reading “Stop gun violence, act now” from the Yellow Tape Project, a campaign advocating for what it calls
FROM GALA, A6 have more than 1,800 CASAs provide advocacy to more than 3,000 children, and also review the case files of the more than 5,100 children who pass through foster care in San Diego County every year. “CASAs save lives every single day,” Farrell said. Nancy served as a CASA throughout Tommy’s adoption process until 2008. In 2006, she moved to Del Mar with David. The Doyles will celebrate their nine-year wedding anniversary in September. From 2008 to 2014, Nancy voluntarily reviewed files for Voices for Children’s Case Assessment program. She has served on the organization’s board of directors since 2015. And now, she and her husband are co-chairing the 14th annual Starry Starry Night gala. “Voices for Children is something that I’m very proud to be associated with, and I think our community, if it was more aware, would be extremely proud,” said David Doyle, who has practiced law since 1976. He is a partner with Morrison & Foerster, LLP, one of the sponsors of Starry Starry Night. “You can count on one hand the areas in which this city is in the top three in the country,” he said. “This is one.” Taking place under the stars, Starry Starry Night is Voices for Children’s signature fundraising event. Over 14 years, the gala has grown from an intimate event in a private home to a community event grossing more than $1 million in each of the past four years. All net proceeds help Voices for Children recruit volunteers from throughout the community, train them to the highest professional standard, and then match them with foster children who need their advocacy services. More than 340 people attended last year’s gala, which grossed a record-breaking $1.37

responsible guns laws in America. Del Mar resident Wayne Dernetz, former city attorney of Del Mar and Vista, also helped organize the demonstration and spoke before the board. “Times have changed for us all,” said Dernetz, who has lived in the community since 1973. “In recent years, the proliferation of guns in our society has brought with it increasing violence, growing threats to the life we know.” More than 30,000 people are killed by firearms each year in the United States. In 2013, 33,636 people died from firearm injuries, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Of those, 21,175 people committed suicide by firearm, while 11,208 people died in gun homicides. After hearing from the speakers during the public comment portion of the meeting, board member David Watson suggested the board place the item on the October agenda, giving staff enough time to summarize the venue’s contracts with gun shows, look at the revenues and consider the issues. “Use this as an opportunity to educate the public and the board,” he said. “I think there’s a lot of myths about what can and can’t occur at gun shows here. ... We have the strictest laws in the nation. There are background checks and there are extensive things that we do here.” million. Event organizers anticipate about 400 people this year and hope to raise at least $1.3 million to support Voices for Children. Voices for Children almost entirely relies on contributions from the community. Last year, Farrell said the organization received 3 percent of its budget from the government and 97 percent from private individuals, private foundations and companies. “You have to have money to recruit CASAs, train CASAs and, most importantly, supervise CASAs,” Farrell said. “Every CASA has a fulltime staff person at their beck and call 24/7.” This year’s gala will honor the beauty of the ocean and the starry skies of the South Pacific, inspired by the Doyles’ honeymoon to Fiji. The evening begins at 5:30 p.m. with a cocktail hour featuring mixology cocktails and hors d’oeuvres, followed by a 7 p.m. gourmet dinner crafted by Chef Andrew Spurgin and catered by Culinary Concepts. The event will also include a live auction and dancing, with an after-party at 9:30 p.m. featuring drinks, music and sweet delicacies. “The Voices for Children community, or very large family, is a tremendous group of people,” David said. “We’re very excited about the event.” Lunar VIP Tickets are $1,000 per person or $10,000 for a table of 10. These tickets offer premium seating and other special benefits. Stellar Tickets are $500 per person or $5,000 for a table of 10.

Art helps veterans heal from war wounds MCASD show features service members’ work BY MARÍA JOSÉ DURÁN etired Marine Aaron Raher, who twice deployed to Iraq, was introduced to art through the Navy’s OASIS (Overcoming Adversity and Stress Injury Support) program in 2012. On Thursday, Aug. 4 he shared how his art has helped him work through post-combat stress as a member of the kick-off panel for the ArtOasis Show at the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego (MCASD) in La Jolla. “Art was a way for me to put things on the canvas without having to talk about them, because you get sick of talking about things all the time ... and a way to slow down my thinking, focus on one task, and enjoy it. There’s something really refreshing about it,” Raher said, adding that his favorite art medium is acrylic paint on canvas. “I also like to collect art on my body,” he laughed, pointing at his many tattoos. Raher said he kept in touch with Elizabeth Washburn, artist and one of the program’s teachers, after he graduated. Today he works as a liason between the veterans going through the program and the museum. “I come (to MCASD) and explain to OASIS members how art has been helpful for me, how I use art. I tell them, ‘As veterans, we are all we have, we have to look out for each other,’ ” he said.

Retired marine Aaron Raher poses with some of his favorite unnamed pieces at the ArtOasis show. Washburn has been working with veterans since 2010 through her non-profit Combat Arts, but it was two years ago when MCASD came in and the ArtOasis program was established at the base in Point Loma. “We use art as a tool to relax, to reduce anxiety, to connect … But also, we are using this program to educate the public about challenges that service members and veterans face when they return home,” she said. More than 75 veterans a year work with ArtOasis. The program includes, besides the weekly on-base lessons, quarterly workshops at MCASD and a yearly show of art by service members from all over the country. MCASD education curator Cris Scorza selects the
veteran’s art for the show. “The pieces that I get more excited about are the collaborative pieces, like the murals, where a couple of service members work together, share their ideas, talk about their experiences, and just make it evident through the collaborative work that there’s a lot to share,” Scorza said. Featuring more than 30 individual and collaborative pieces among canvas, masks, dreamcatchers and sketches, the ArtOasis exhibition will be up through Sept. 4 at MCASD. “The show is for the public to become more aware of what service members are capable of doing ... to really start digging deeper to get a different perspective of what a
wounded veteran might look like — even if it’s just through their art,” Scorza said. Raher added, “We have to change the perception of what combat is; you don’t have to be sorry for me and you don’t have to be scared of me.” Another Marine Corps veteran, Daniel Lopez, now works as an assistant teacher at ArtOasis. He offers a leather class where service members receive tools and training. He chose leather, he explained, “because there’s something about it, everyone loves the smell of leather.” In his classes he combines leatherwork with thread and students create dreamcatchers, like the ones featured in the show. “For me it’s hard to sit and put together a painting, but when I do dreamcatchers, I see why people love to knit. It’s a repetitive thing, and it allows you to have a conversation, take your mind off other things,” Lopez said, pointing out that there’s an underlying understanding between war veterans that goes a long way in the program. Also on the panel was artist/teacher Perry Vasquez, who said the sense of community is sometimes more helpful than the art. “I remember one day I came into class and the mood was down … one of the younger men was struggling, and a first sergeant went to talk to him. I noticed how the class changed, within minutes there was laughing, joking and singing a Bob Marley tune,” he shared. ■ IF YOU GO: ArtOasis will be on view through Sept. 4 at MCASD, 700 Prospect St. Hours are 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, closed Wednesday.

Those rules are scheduled take effect in2018. City Attorney Leslie Devaney said Del Mar has until then to make the ban permanent or adopt its own regulatory policy. A handful of people spoke during the meeting, including several who urged Del Mar to ban dispensaries, saying it would be difficult for such a small city to regulate those businesses. “This is a completely lawless industry,” said Scott Chipman, co-chairman of the group Citizens Against Legalizing Marijuana.

KAABOO returns to Del Mar Fairgrounds Sept. 16-18 BY KRISTINA HOUCK fter a successful debut last year, KAABOO is set to return to Del Mar in September. With an even bigger and better lineup, the three-day festival will feature about 100 performances on multiple stages Sept. 16-18 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, including headliners Jimmy Buffett & The Coral Reefer Band, Aerosmith, Jack Johnson and Fall Out Boy. “We’re getting close to game time,” said KAABOO founder and CEO Bryan Gordon. “I’m just anxious for September to come.” It was a gamble when Gordon came up with the concept and brought his vision to Del Mar last year. A lifelong lover of live music, Gordon wanted to move beyond famous music gatherings such as Bonnaroo, Coachella and Lollapalooza and transform the festival scene. His goal was to create a festival geared toward an older crowd, rather than target the younger generation. “Music festivals bring people together in an extraordinary and healthy way,” said Gordon, adding that going to concerts and festivals with his 23-year-old daughter has been a bonding experience. “But most of these events are really not very comfortable and really not well put together,” he said. “I really wanted to bring creature comforts, and in fact, some measure of luxury and a journey of exploration into the experience with live music.” More than 50,000 people attended the first-ever KAABOO, which kicked off with more than 100 acts on seven stages, including headliners No Doubt, The Killers and Zac Brown Band. Rolling Stone, Gordon said, named KAABOO one of the top five festivals in the country last year. “We were thrilled with the results from last year,” Gordon said. “Most importantly, you could just see big smiles on people’s faces and this look of real contentment and real relaxation. People had a good time, and that’s what it’s all about.” KAABOO organizers anticipate a larger crowd this year. Though a little more than a month away, the most costly VIP package for this year’s event sold out weeks ago. From country to pop, and rap to rock, the long list of scheduled acts also include Daryl Hall and John Oates, Lenny Kravitz, Goo Goo Dolls, Flo Rida, Gavin DeGraw, Ludacris, and dozens of other

artists. “We started working on the lineup even before KAABOO happened last year,” Gordon said. “We’ve already started work on next year’s lineup.” KAABOO will be back at the Del Mar Fairgrounds for at least five more years. In April, KAABOO organizers and the 22nd District Agricultural Association Board of Directors, which runs the state-owned fairgrounds, signed a contract that will keep the festival at the fairgrounds for the next five
years, with up to five one-year extensions. “It’s a great, great relationship,” Gordon said. “We’re thrilled to be there. The venue is just absolutely extraordinary in so many ways.” Billed as a “mix-perience,” KAABOO combines a diverse mix of music, comedy, contemporary art exhibitions, culinary offerings and craft libations. Back by popular demand and doubling in capacity, KAABOO’s Humor Me Comedy Club will host more than two dozen performers
throughout the weekend, including T.J. Miller, Kumail Nanjiani, Thomas Middleditch and Jimmy O. Yang from the HBO comedy series “Silicon Valley,” as well as comedians Dana Carvey, Cheech & Chong, Darrell Hammond, Jeff Ross, Janeane Garofalo, and others. The second annual KAABOO ArtworK Experience will showcase a variety of contemporary art, including live mural painting, art installations and exhibitions by dozens of international, national

and regional artists. At PALATE, festivalgoers can sample local and regional dishes and pair with drinks from wineries, craft distilleries and local craft breweries. Beyond PALATE, there will also be several pop-up shops offering food and drinks on the fairgrounds. “We’re hopeful to be in Del Mar for the next decade, and frankly, beyond,” Gordon said. “We have very long-term plans to really settle in and make the Del Mar Fairgrounds and Del Mar home, and to continue to grow and refine the experience there.” Gates will open at noon each day. Outdoor music will end at 10 p.m. on Friday and Saturday nights, and at 9 p.m. on Sunday night. Prices for three-day passes range from $279 to $2,499, but the $2,499 “Hang Ten” passes have already sold out. “Hang Five” passes are still available for $779, as well as “Hang Loose” passes for $279. Both include a variety of benefits. Neighborhood discounts are available for Del Mar and Solana Beach residents. Locals should purchase their KAABOO pass by calling the box office at 855-798-5995, from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Eligibility will be confirmed by address and billing zip code.

‘Meteor Shower’ an outburst of laughs The announcement that Steve Martin was returning to The Old Globe after the huge success of his and Edie Brickell’s musical “Bright Star” was music to the theater and its patrons. His imagination, humor and musical talents have kept him among the top celebrities for years. His new play “Meteor Shower,” is now running at The Globe through Sept. 11. “Meteor Shower,” is not a musical and definitely for adults. Corky (Jenna Fischer) and Norm (Greg Germann) are a fun and somewhat untraditional couple. As they tidy up their home for expectant company they address several topics of conversation. When one accidentally says something negative,
the other reacts as if they were shot with an arrow. Hence the two must face each other, hold hands and the offender apologize. Then the other must repeat the apology and accept it. Norm is excited by the company Laura (Alexandra Henrikso) and Gerald (Josh Stamberg) and explains how he met them as Corky continues to spruce up the living room and prepare drinks. When Laura and Gerald arrive, they are nothing like Corky expected. Gerald is an arrogant and outspoken man about his virtues and backed by his robot-like wife who is pleased to reveal his strong points in the bedroom. Norm and Corky are surprised but try to

Del Mar exhibit features late photographer Montgomery-Drysdale
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KRISTINA HOUCK Although the late photographer Helen Montgomery-Drysdale passed away three years ago, her legacy has lived on through her work, especially in Del Mar. Maintaining the longtime Del Mar resident’s legacy has become the mission of her life partner of 47 years, retired cabaret singer Dayna Carroll. Curated by the Del Mar Historical Society, a collection of Montgomery-Drysdale’s work is currently on display at Southfair in Del Mar. “I want to keep her memory alive,” said 88-year-old Carroll during an interview at her Del Mar home. “I’ve always been an admirer of her work and continue to be an admirer of her work.” Montgomery-Drysdale left behind thousands of prints, proof sheets and negatives that nearly fills an entire room in the Del Mar home that she and Carroll shared. Specializing in black-and-white print photography, Montgomery-Drysdale’s work has been exhibited across the country and around the world. From Hollywood celebrities to everyday people, Montgomery-Drysdale captured people and places in the San Diego region and beyond. Her collection includes images of film and stage stars such as Ginger Rogers, Carol Channing, Dorothy McGuire, Burt Lancaster and Tab Hunter, as well as jazz legends like Louis Armstrong and Lionel Hampton. “She had a real knack for capturing special moments in people’s lives in various situations,” said Walter Reger, Carroll’s
Dayna Carroll and Helen Montgomery-Drysdale younger brother. “She carried her camera around all the time.” Montgomery-Drysdale was also well known for her behind-the-scene shots at the Del Mar Racetrack, as well as her documentary photo series. She photographed homeless people in major U.S. cities, including New York and San Diego, and abroad in France, Italy and China. She also documented severely handicapped, abused and mentally challenged children. “Her work is a composite of the world we live in,” Carroll said. “She felt like black and white captured reality and emotion a lot better than color did,” Reger added. “She just felt it was more honest and real.” With Carroll’s assistance and final approval, the exhibit was installed by Wendy Michaletz and Tina Yazzie, co-owners of San Diego-based

ARTastic Custom Framing. Michaletz and Yazzie have framed and installed several photographic shows for Montgomery-Drysdale and Carroll over the years. Installed mid-June, the display has changed periodically to showcase Montgomery-Drysdale’s diverse collection of work, including her Americana series and photos of the Del Mar Racerack and Hollywood celebrities and musicians. “We went off of the idea of knowing who Helen was and what she liked,” Yazzie said. “We were lucky enough over the years to hear the stories about who she met. It was always fascinating. “She had a great eye for capturing a moment.” Southfair is located at 2010 Jimmy Durante Boulevard in Del Mar.
Artist John Modesitt to hold exhibit Impressionist artist John Modesitt will hold an exhibit titled “Impressions of the Netherlands” for the community to enjoy. Fifteen paintings of the Netherlands will be featured alongside several other paintings of Europe, particularly France. Also showcased will be paintings of California. “This show isn’t just about the Netherlands but about the water that makes up so much of the landscape there. My favorite elements are water, sky and clouds. This part of Europe has it all”, explains the artist. The exhibit will begin Friday, Aug. 12 and conclude Aug. 16 at the artist’s studio in Solana Beach. John Modesitt’s paintings are displayed in museums in the USA, including the Butler Museum in Ohio and is represented by notable galleries worldwide.

Local owners celebrate one year of Porkyland success in Torrey Hills BY KAREN BILLING Pepe and Deborah Stepensky have been in the restaurant business for 30 years, currently running four eateries in San Diego — but they’ve never enjoyed the experience more than with the Porkyland in their own backyard of Torrey Hills. “We really enjoy being here, this is like the neighborhood restaurant we always wanted,” Pepe Stepensky said. “Customers here are neighbors and friends, people I see at the Pacific Sports Resort, in the dog park or working at the grocery store. The community has been really nice to us and it’s really been a very different project. We’re very happy.” The Stepenskys have lived in Torrey Hills since 2000, raising their three children Jessica, Alejandra and Fernando. Their children attended Sage Canyon and Ocean Air Elementary Schools, Carmel Valley Middle School and all three graduated from Torrey Pines High School. Fernando, the last to graduate in 2015, now attends University of Southern California. “We’re locals and I think we’ve been successful here because people like to support local businesses,” Stepensky said. They had long kept an eye on a location at Torrey Hills Center just blocks from their home and watched as it changed from an ice cream
shop to a bagel shop. “We really wanted to be here,” said Stepensky. They finally got into the center a year ago and the restaurant celebrated its anniversary on July 28 with Claudia Sandoval, the local winner of “MasterChef,” signing copies of her cookbook. In just one year, the Torrey Hills Porkyland has nearly doubled in size with the addition of an enclosed patio, filled with tables and colorful mismatched chairs. The patio opens to the center’s back patio which can be used for parties of gatherings. The Stepenskys also own San Diego Burger Company and Margarita’s Kitchen and Cantina in Seaport Village, as well as the La Jolla location of Porkyland, which has been there for 33 years. Stepensky is the third owner of Porkyland, which got its start in 1982 as a tortilla factory. Neither Pepe or Deborah worked in the restaurant industry before they moved to San Diego from Mexico 30 years ago. Deborah was in TV production, and Pepe was in advertising. He still works with a theater company in San Diego and creates short films — the documentary he produced, “Una Vez Mas,” just won three Pacific Southwest Emmy Awards. The film tells the inspiring story of local Telemundo sports anchor Humberto Gurmilan, paralyzed in a surfing accident as a

With the restaurant, Pepe said he runs the daily operations but credits Deborah as being “the brains.” A great cook, Deborah is also very involved in the kitchen and crafting the menu, constantly making new things. Porkyland is famous for its carne asada and carnitas, which comes in burritos, enchiladas, quesadillas, tortas, tacos and quesatacos. The menu features a large variety of Porkyland burritos, stuffed with beans and
cheese, chicken, fish, shrimp or veggies. The new California Chicken Sriracha burrito is a spicy mix of grilled chicken, fries, chipotle sauce, guacamole, sour cream, cheese and Sriracha sauce. Deborah’s Special, on the other spectrum, is delicious in its simplicity with just carne aside and nopalitos (cactus pads). “We changed the menu big time,” Stepensky said. “People are more health-conscious in this area so we added more salads as well as burrito bowls, which we never had before.” The Protein Salad pairs romaine lettuce with corn, jicama, sunflower seeds and grilled chicken. Another healthy choice on the menu is the protein plate with black beans, guacamole and choice of meats. SEE EATERY, B12

Dancing Queen
La Jolla native stages one-woman performance at North Coast Rep BY ASHLEY MACKIN hile she grew up in town as Wendy Palmer, breaking sports records at La Jolla High, the daughter of Paul and Marge Palmer, is now playwright, dancer and actress Palmer Davis, who has spent most of her adult life developing a showbiz career and breaking down walls. The story of her life, “Suburban Palmer Showgirl,” takes the Davis stage 7:30 p.m. Aug. 15-17, during North Coast Repertory Theatre’s Variety Nights. It’s a one-woman show, in which she stars. Semi-autobiographical with some artistic license, “the show is about a dancer and all of the stages of a dancer’s life: early training, professional failures and successes, complications with having a family, getting older, and giving back,” Davis said. “I hope in watching the show, people experience her journey — joy, pain, conflict, and mostly the self-discoveries. It’s about the beauty in ourselves and celebration
W
of who we are. I hope people will be inspired to pursue their passion and not be afraid of the hard work.” Of the production, North Coast Rep’s artistic director David Ellenstein said, “It was originally brought to my attention by a friend who directed it (in another city), and I thought it might be something our audiences might enjoy. Finding out that Palmer is from here and connected to the community with history in the area, cinched the deal.” Commenting on the relatability of the piece, he added, “It’s about a person’s struggles to deal with the realities of life … how you balance being a real person and having a career. But it’s funny. It’s something any theater-goer would enjoy.” In total, Davis plays some 18 characters, representing influential figures in her life. And she has plenty from which to pull. “I’ve been doing theater and dancing since I was 7 … taking Diedre Andrews’ acting classes ... and I had a lot of training during my three years at The Bishops School, which has great opportunities in performing arts,” she said. But in high school (La Jolla High School, Class of 1986), she divided

her time between sports and performing arts, and chose sports. Participating in volleyball and track, she set a high jump record as a Viking. She credits her varsity volleyball coach Vicki Evelyth with teaching her “a work ethic made of true grit.” While attending college at UCLA, she freelanced dancing gigs in her free time. Her effort earned her a scholarship to the Dupree Dancing Academy. After graduation, she found herself taking acting roles in shows such as “CSI: Las Vegas,”
“90210” and “Castle,” and performing in a touring company of The Rockettes. “Dancers didn’t have a voice back then, and no one thought I could act. It took a lot to break down those walls and become both an actress and a dancer,” she said. When Davis started having children, things got even more complicated. Often told it would mark the end of her career, she continued performing and ultimately turned to teaching as a way of giving back.

“There is a lot about a dancer’s life people don’t see, because most of the time, they see you on TV and in pretty costumes and it looks cool, but there is so much more than that. It’s a great joy to bring a work that shows the difficult parts and pays homage to my teachers, parents and mentors, and those who have been part of my personal journey,” she said. Joking that she thought she had to be convinced her story was interesting enough for a one-woman show, she said, “I thought you had to have some extraordinary experience and I didn’t think my life was that interesting. But I realized everyone has a story, and over the years, mine had becoming more interesting.” The script, she said, was in development for eight years. “It was a lot of trial and error, emphasis on the error,” Davis said. “The more truthful and vulnerable the writing became, the more compelling the script was.” ■ IF YOU GO: “Suburban Showgirl,” starts at 7:30 p.m. Aug. 15-17 at North Coast Repertory Theatre, 987 Lomas Santa Fe Drive, Solana Beach.

Crudo opens in Pacific Highlands Ranch BY KAREN BILLING rudo by Pascal Lorange held a grand opening gala on Aug. 3 in the Village at Pacific Highlands Ranch, complete with classic cars, a red carpet arrival, small bites of Chef Pascal’s gourmet dishes and glasses of sparkling wine with fresh kumquats. After a soft opening last week, Chef Lorange is now serving his Mediterranean-inspired cuisine with an Asian touch for lunch and dinner. The menu boasts of “sophisticated simplicity” with the majority of dishes being gluten free. As Crudo means “raw,” the restaurant will stay true to its name by offering a variety of raw plates such as sashimi and carpaccio and Chef Lorange’s take on the crostini — the ricetini. Ricetinis are topped with ingredients such as Proscuitto, ricotta, dates and scallions or grilled vegetables and goat cheese pesto. The restaurant features a light and fresh interior accented by modern artwork and fixtures. Windows provide a peak at the activity in the kitchen and guests can enjoy happy hours at a central bar. A welcoming outdoor patio is enclosed by olive, lemon and kumquat trees and there is also a small, private dining room. Crudo will be open from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. daily with weekend brunch. The weekday happy hour is from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. For

HOME & GARDEN PET OF THE WEEK
MAGGIE, a 12-year-old Labrador
Retriever, is looking for a new family to love. Maggie was found in a newly sold house by the home’s new owners. It appears her previous family left her there when they moved. But don’t worry, she doesn’t hold any grudges, she just wants to find a loving home to spoil her! Maggie loves everyone she meets and never (we mean NEVER) stops wagging her tail. True to her breed, she just wants to be everyone’s best friend and snuggle all day, every day. She’s a bit overweight, so hopefully her new family can take her on a few leisurely walks to help her shed a few pounds, and spend some extra time showing her the love she’s been missing. Are you up to the task? Meet her at San Diego Humane Society’s Escondido Campus, 3450 E. Valley Parkway or by calling 760-888-2247.

A meteor event outside suddenly changes the thread of the story. There are many lines of dialogue that bring continuous laughs definitely Martin style. The actors seem to have a good time with these characters. However, I didn’t see the other side of them come through especially in Corky. Laura has made her intentions clear throughout the evening with her sassy actions and sexual forwardness to both Corky and Norm. Corky’s complete change in her demeanor after the meteor event just didn’t seem real, and remarks from some leaving the theater were not pleasing. Germann played his role close to a calm and easygoing husband who even after the meteor event doesn’t change much. Stamberg is so good as Gerald he easily becomes one of those characters you love to hate. For me, the constant sexual comments and his actions actually dim Martin’s humor of the play and fine performances of the actors. The idea that this play is about the modern marriage is somewhat scary. ■ IF YOU GO: “Meteor Shower,” runs through Sept. 11 on the Shiley Stage at the Old Globe Theatre, 1363 Old Globe Way in Balboa Park.

Why not get saucy this summer?
Y
ears ago some family members were visiting from the East Coast, and we dined at an upscale steak house in town. Our cousin, who has a maddening habit of smothering all grilled foods in ketchup, including lobster tails and filet mignon, was denied his request for the condiment, because it apparently insulted the chef. Perhaps if ketchup-loving cousin would have asked for something more refined like a Béarnaise or peppercorn sauce, the chef would have been more obliging. The American palate is obsessed with sauces for dipping, spreading, pouring and slathering on everything from grilled fish, pulled pork, assorted cuts of beef, burgers and fries to soups, stews, sandwiches, stir fries, and even zesty cocktails. Here’s a line-up of sauces to nicely complement your summer favorites without insultingly drowning out their natural flavors. Cowboy Up: Early barbecue shindigs have been traced back to cave dwelling days as archaeologists unearthed ancient fire pits in present day Central Europe (Czech Republic) with charred carcasses of mammoths and other prehistoric creatures. Barbecue has become an American tradition that was enjoyed by George Washington and Lyndon Johnson, who transported his iconic Texas-style barbecue ribs and sauce to the Capitol making it an official White House dish. The smoky flavors and mode of preparation have gradually filtered through the nation, with Texas, Kentucky and North Carolina becoming BBQ Meccas. In addition, barbecue sauce recipes go back
centuries, the original concoction blending vinegar and peppers. Today hickory is the preferred American sauce flavor, followed by mesquite, then honey. Whip up your own blend tailored to your taste buds and dietary restrictions. For sweet tooths, add molasses, dark amber honey, organic brown sugar, agave or maple syrup, along with fresh grated ginger, chopped sweet onions, and pureed heirloom tomatoes. For savory tastes toss in some roasted garlic chunks, cayenne pepper or chopped chilies, sea salt and assorted herbs. Bet the Ranch: Ranch, a fairly newcomer of So Cal culinary heritage has now surpassed Italian vinaigrette as the nation’s dressing of choice. In the early 1950s, Steve Henson and his wife Gayle, proprietors of the Hidden Valley Dude Ranch near Santa Barbara, created a house dressing blending buttermilk, onion, garlic, parsley and seasonings for their guests to enjoy in salads and on sandwiches. So well received, they began selling the fresh dressing at the ranch, which soon became more lucrative than the guest fees. The Hensons then packaged a non-perishable powdered mix, which was sold at local grocers. This became such a profitable venture, they trademarked the name, “Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing,” and eventually sold the brand and product to Clorox for $8 million. Today ranch dressing is as popular as ever as a dipping sauce for fresh vegetables, wings and pizza, a topping for burgers, baked potatoes and sandwiches, and a marinade for grilled chicken and fish. Whip up a healthier riff on the classic by using organic kefir or
Homemade Ranch Dressing
• Juice from one Meyer lemon • 1 shallot, minced • 1 1/2 teaspoons stone ground mustard
■ Ingredients: • 1/2 cup each Greek yoghurt and organic buttermilk • 4 tablespoons mayonnaise (vegan or olive oil)
• 1/2 tablespoon each fresh chopped chives, dill and Italian parsley • Sea salt and cayenne pepper to taste ■ Method: In a large glass bowl, blend ingredients. Chill. —kitchenshrink@san.rr.com
Greek yogurt, and fresh herbs bursting with the flavors of summer (see recipe); a Japanese version with sour cream and wasabi mustard; a Moroccan blend with cumin, cinnamon, black pepper and cilantro, or a sweet dessert sauce with strained yogurt, orange blossom honey and vanilla beans for dipping biscotti or fresh fruit. Mediterranean Mayo: “Aioli,” derived from the Occitan language spoken in parts of Spain, Italy and southern France translates to “garlic oil.” This rich emulsion, which was created in the early 19th century has exploded on casual and formal dining menus across the land. Creamy and decadent like mayonnaise, aioli is much more sophisticated with bursts of flavor reminiscent of the Mediterranean
coast. It is traditionally prepared with a mortar and pestle, pulverizing garlic cloves and then whisking together with extra virgin olive oil, egg yolks, lemon juice and seasonings to create a blissful and versatile condiment. Variations include adding Dijon mustard and Herbes de Provence for delicate French notes, chipotle chilies and lime for a southwest twist, or sun-dried tomatoes and rosemary for a taste of Italy. Aioli has universal appeal, jazzing up a humble burger and French fries, steamed artichokes or mouth-watering grilled jumbo scallops or other choice seafood. One word of aioli warning: Since the authentic recipe calls for raw eggs, use pasteurized yolks to prevent salmonella.

Varicose Veins: Symptom of Aging or a Sign of Something Harmful? First off, the heading isn’t meant to make anyone with blue rope veins on their legs live in fear. But it is important to know that varicose veins are a medical, and not a merely cosmetic, condition. Varicose veins and even spider veins are signs of chronic vein disease. When you have vein disease, you have
a higher risk of developing deep vein thrombosis (DVT), a clot in the vein, because of poor blood flow in the weak veins. If it breaks free and travels to the lung, the consequences could be serious— this becomes a pulmonary embolism (PE), and of the 300,000-600,000 people who get DVT or PE each year, 60,000 to 100,000 will die from it. In some cases, DVT or PE can lead to a lifelong disability, or lead to chronic leg pain and swelling that will never go away. When you hear the term chronic vein disease, or CVD, it usually refers to chronic conditions that are related to the abnormal or diseased veins. Varicose veins and spider veins are included in this, as are leg swelling and pain. But chronic vein disease also refers to the following: Chronic venous insufficiency

Skin changes on the leg Leg ulcers Phlebitis Vascular malformations There are other symptoms of CVD aside from the ugly veins, and it should trigger an immediate trip to the doctor if you have any of the following: Warmth of the skin Redness and itching Leg fatigue that won’t go away Lightheadedness Rapid pulse and, in extreme cases, Chest pain As I’ve discussed in previous columns, vein disease can happen to anyone, at any age, including young women and men. It is hereditary, with about 75% of patients having a family history of CVD.
Unfortunately, there is no cure for varicose veins or spider veins, and once you get them, they will come back, as they are symptoms of a weakness in the veins where blood can pool. However, it is important to have varicose veins checked by doctors. While the basic treatment of wearing compression stockings can help, it is best to have varicose veins removed with noninvasive treatments such as sclerotherapy, as well as making lifestyle changes to respond to your vein disease and keep it in check. To have your varicose veins and spider veins checked and treated with sclerotherapy or another in-office treatment, visit us at www.sdveininstitute.com or contact us at 760-944-9263. Make sure you also visit your primary care physician to monitor your vein disease.
