High school district superintendent to retire San Dieguito Union High School District Board President Barbara Groth recently announced that Superintendent Ken Noah informed the San Dieguito Union High School District Board of Trustees of his decision to retire as superintendent of the district effective June 30. Noah has been with the district since July 1, 2008. Noah expressed his deep gratitude to the board, district staff, students and community for the opportunity to serve as superintendent. He indicated that he will be forever grateful for the patience, understanding and support he has received the past four-and-one-half years. He said that he is most proud of the work undertaken by the district to improve student achievement and pointed to the recent passage of Proposition See RETIRE, Page 22
BY CLAIRE HARLIN Residents who have gotten used to driving through mosquito-collecting standing water on San Dieguito Drive near the corner of Jimmy Durante Boulevard, or those who have been inconvenienced by not being able to cross from all directions at the intersection of Via de la Valle and Camino del Mar, will see those problems solved over the next several months. The City of Del Mar on Feb. 6 introduced plans to install a new storm drain system to remove puddling on the southern edge of San
Dieguito, as well as reconstruct the entire Via de la Valle intersection south of Dog Beach by the Brigantine restaurant, adding a new crosswalk, curb and pedestrian ramps. The community will also see the addition of a five-foot-wide sidewalk from Dog Beach to Via de la Valle on the west side of Camino del Mar, where there is currently no adequate safeway for pedestrians. A request for proposal (RFP) for the project, estimated to cost about $375,000, went out earlier See DEL MAR, Page 6
SB looks to overhaul 25-year-old general plan City to hold public workshop on Feb. 21 BY CLAIRE HARLIN Soon after Solana Beach became a city in 1986, its forefathers began writing the city’s general plan — a blueprint for the future that reflects the city’s values, vision and guiding principles — and the final draft adopted in 1992 was what has steered development ever since. But just as communities change, so should their
state-mandated general plans, and Solana Beach officials are looking for community input as they perform their first-ever major overhaul of the document. On Feb. 21 the City of Solana Beach will conduct a public workshop in which, for the first time, officials will present proposed concepts that reflect a shift from the vehicle-centric vision of 1986 to a focus on pedestrians, bicyclists and public transportation. Included in the draft plan will be traffic calming measures such as lane
reductions in some areas, as well as special designations such as “bicycle boulevards” and “pedestrian corridors” to provide safer non-vehicle travel. “The general plan is the hierarchy; it’s the vision of where we want to be,” said Mayor Mike Nichols, adding that the goals outlined in the broader general plan are implemented more specifically through zoning. “This is really residents’ opportuSee PLAN, Page 6
Mixed-use center planned for Carmel Country Highlands BY KAREN BILLING A new mixed-use center is being planned for the Carmel Country Highlands area. Called Merge, the center looks to combine 10 townhomes, 25,000 square feet of office and 21 upper floor flats over 10,000 square feet of retail on a 4-acre lot at the corner of Carmel Country Road and Carmel Mountain Road. “When we sat down to design this property we realized we have a very unique opportunity. This is a community that really needs a hub,” said develop-
er Gary Levitt, who reviewed his plans with the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board’s regional issues subcommittee on Feb. 6. Levitt has named the project Merge to reflect how he hopes it will bring all types of uses together. Levitt envisions friends meeting for coffee, and neighbors riding bikes with their kids to breakfast or walking to dinner. Levitt said he feels his residential products will See CARMEL, Page 13

Solana Beach Presbyterian Church breaks ground on second phase of $12 million renovation
Public comment period on Solana Beach shoreline damage report to close on Feb. 26
BY CLAIRE HARLIN The Solana Beach Presbyterian Church will soon be putting a new face forward, with a $12 million renovation that includes a new chapel that will be visible from Stevens Avenue and Lomas Santa Fe. “Right now you enter the sanctuary from the middle of the property and you don’t see the front of the church from the street, only the back side,” said church operations director Paul Gunther. “We want to give a new face to the community so we will be more welcoming and inviting.” The church broke ground in early February and will formally kick off the renovation during its 8:45 and 10:30 a.m. Sunday services on Feb. 10. The construction also includes a new 17,000-square-foot children’s facility; the second floor of the preschool building has been torn down to make way for the new building. The efforts follow a remodel last year that included moving the church’s preschool to the corner of Stevens Avenue and Rodolfo Drive, and churchgoers are enjoying their first year in those new facil-
BY CLAIRE HARLIN In response to accelerated erosion in the past 10 to 15 years, Encinitas, Solana Beach and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) have conducted a study investigating ways to reduce storm damage along the shorelines of those cities, and public comment on the lengthy report, released on Dec. 28, will be accepted through Feb. 26. The study areas include 7,200 feet of shoreline encompassing the majority of the beach within Solana Beach, as well as an area of shoreline stretching from Neptune to H Streets in Encinitas. USACE project manager Susie Ming said these areas are most susceptible to becoming unsafe due to storm damage, however there have been fatal bluff collapses in recent years in places like Carlsbad and Leucadia. Effects from damage include lack of sediment supply, loss of protective beach,

Both project phases are part of a larger master plan, a vision that dates back about a decade, Gunther said. There will be future phases planned to take place between 2016 and 2020 and estimated to cost about $20 million. According to the church’s website, the renovations are fulfilling a critical need to replace existing facilities for children in order to reach the next generations. The church’s Sunday school attracts about 450 children per week, and about 100 mothers and their pre-school children attend biweekly Friday morning sessions. The pre-school serves more than 200 children a week, according to the site. Another priority is to provide new and improved facilities for the Hispanic Ministry, which attracts about 110 individuals, according to the church site. “The goal is to bring the whole church to be one unified facility,” Gunther said.

notch and cave formation and beach debris, property damage and human harm caused from bluff collapse. About half of the studied shoreline has been modified with seawalls, which, according to a USACE report, “provides piecemeal protection at varying levels.” “Our study focuses on a more comprehensive solution over the critical study area,” the reports states, adding that the loss of beach has also severely degraded recreational value in all reaches. The report is available at http://www. spl.usace.army.mil/Missions/CivilWorks/ ProjectsStudies/SolanaEncinitasShorelineStudy.aspx.

San Diego County Fair the fourth largest fair in North America last year BY JOE TASH The San Diego County Fair was the fourth-largest fair in North America in 2012, based on attendance of just over 1.5 million during the fair’s 24-day run. A report on the top 50 North American fairs was presented to the board of the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which operates the state-owned Del Mar Fairgrounds, at its meeting on Tuesday, Feb. 12. The San Diego County Fair moved up two notches from its No. 6 ranking in 2011, according to the report by Venues Today Magazine. According to the 22nd DAA, 2012
marked the fourth year in a row that the San Diego County Fair has set an attendance record. The fair expanded its operating run to 24 days in 2012, from 22 in 2011. The largest fair in North America in 2012, with attendance of about 3 million, was the State Fair of Texas, in Dallas. Rounding out the top five were: No. 2, Houston Livestock Show & Rodeo, 2.2 million; No. 3, Minnesota State Fair, 1.7 million; and No. 5, San Antonio Stock Show & Rodeo, 1.5 million. The Los Angeles County Fair was sixth on the list, and the Orange County Fair came in at No. 10.

Del Mar pair promoted to show track’s executive balance A pair of Del Mar Thoroughbred Club executives have been elevated in title to reflect the organization’s top-level leadership team’s equal stature and balance, it has been announced. DMTC president and chief executive officer Joe Harper said that two of Craig Dado the group’s senior vice presidents – Craig Dado and Josh Rubinstein – now instead will carry the title executive vice president, putting them in line with its two other executive vice presidents, Mike Ernst and Tom Robbins. Additionally, Dado will add the title of chief marketing officer, while Rubinstein’s title will include the designation chief operating officer. The change is effective immediately. “Our leadership group has worked in balance since we put our current executive arrangement in place in July 2011,” Harper noted. “I lean heavily and equally on them for their expertise and special competence in their individual fields. They are an outstanding foursome and Del Mar is lucky to have men of their ability to take us forward. These title changes simply reflect the true
nature of their shared leadership roles.” DMTC’s current executive hierarchy was prompted in July 2011 when its then president and general manager, Craig Fravel, chose to leave Del Mar to take over as the president Josh and chief executive officer Rubinstein of Breeders’ Cup, the Kentucky-based organization that conducts racing’s series of championship races each fall. Previously, Dado, 47, had carried the title of senior vice president, marketing. He had originally come to work at Del Mar in 2001. Rubinstein, 43, had been listed as senior vice president, development. His fulltime starting date at the track was in 1995. Ernst, 57, currently carries the title of executive vice president, finance and chief financial officer. He first started at Del Mar in 1991. Robbins, 59, is the track’s executive vice president, racing and industry relations, as well as it racing secretary. His first season at Del Mar was in 1968. Del Mar’s upcoming 74th summer race meet is scheduled to open on July 17 and run through Sept. 4.
Suspected illegal immigrants, three U.S. citizens detained in Del Mar; Panga navigator taken into custody BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Early Feb. 11, eight suspected illegal immigrants and three U.S. citizens were detained when a panga landed in Del Mar. Border Patrol agents spotted the boat heading north off the coast of Torrey Pines about 1:30 a.m., and several people were caught shortly afterward while climbing up cliffs with flashlights near 11th Street in Del Mar, border officials said. The panga was seized and its navigator was taken into custody, according to Border Patrol Agent Steven Pitts. Two vehicles found nearby were also seized, he said. In another case, a small fishing boat carrying thousands of pounds of marijuana washed ashore on a North County beach early Feb. 12, prompting a protracted search for a man who jumped from the vessel into the ocean to evade arrest. The skiff was spotted in the swells off South Ponto Beach in Carlsbad shortly after 2 a.m., according to the U.S. Border Patrol. For more on the story, visit www.delmartimes.net (News category)

Housing prices up in January 2013 over same time last year BY CITY NEWS SERVICE Housing prices in the San Diego region increased by double digits last month compared to the same period in 2012, according to data released last week by a Realtors group. The San Diego Association of Realtors’ figures showed big jumps in both prices and the number of property sales in January compared to the same month last year. The median price of a single-family home sold in San Diego County last month was $390,000, a 12 percent increase from one year earlier but down 7 percent from the previous month. For multi-family housing like condominiums and townhomes, the median sales price was $245,000, according to SDAR. That’s up 17 percent in year-over- year comparisons but down 3 percent from December. The same trend of a better performance
in annualized statistics also applied to the numbers of properties sold in January. The SDAR figures showed 1,559 houses sold last month, up 15 percent from January 2012 and down 22 percent from December 2012. A total of 673 condos or townhomes changed hands, up 8 percent from the same time last year, but 25 percent lower than the previous month. ``I firmly believe 2013 is going to be a great year for real estate, and I’m really pleased to see signs of that in these numbers,’’ said Linda Lee, SDAR’s board president. ``Interest rates remain extremely low and more inventory is entering the market. It’s an encouraging time.’’ The organization reported that the most expensive San Diego County listing sold last month was a five-bedroom, fivebath, 9,605 square-foot home in Rancho Santa Fe that fetched $6.995 million.
Former U.S. comptroller offers keynote at Del Mar financial services conference BY CLAIRE HARLIN In recent weeks, former U.S. comptroller general David Walker’s outspoken advocacy regarding the federal government’s fiscal accountability has been making headlines — from his “no deal, no break” campaign urging Congress to get its work done before taking a vacation, to his comments on ABC News about the state of the union, to his recent opinion columns on Politico. com and the Washington Times giving Uncle Sam an “F” in money management. And on Feb. 5, the former head of the U.S. Government Accountability Office made a stop in Del Mar for the second year in a row to
give the keynote speech on his “Comeback America Initiative” at the LifePro Tax Free Retirement Summit. The event, hosted by Carmel Valleybased LifePro Financial Services, Inc., was geared specifically for financial advisors and featured a variety of educational presentations and panels with experts in addition to Walker. Local resident and LifePro CEO and president Bill Zimmerman said Walker was “the perfect person” to bring back to the conference to offer the keynote speech and

Carmel Valley student is an advocate, musician and author Morris to speak at upcoming CCA writer’s conference BY CLAIRE HARLIN James Morris, a senior at Cathedral Catholic High School in Carmel Valley, has made a name for himself as a musician, producing four albums and performing on the 2012 Vans Warped Tour. He’s also contributed more than 1,000 hours of service raising more than $15,000 for the Chadwick Center at Rady Children’s Hospital through his very own charity organization, Earn Your Wings. But on Feb. 23 at Canyon Crest Academy, the 18-year-old will take on a new leadership role, joining the ranks of several New York Times best-selling authors as a speaker at the school’s second annual writer’s conference. Morris will be talking about how he intertwines his novel writing and songwriting at the free event, which will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the school’s media center, located at 5951 Village Center Loop Road. He will also be selling and discussing his
new science fiction book, “Skybound,” which is part of a trilogy he plans to write, he said. Morris said he was an avid reader turned author, and self-published the book after constructing a manuscript in only six months. “My room is like a library,” he said. “I have so many books but had run out of books to read, so I thought, ‘There should be a book like this,’ and so I wrote and wrote for six months and then I was like, ‘Wow, I think just wrote a book.’” The futuristic novel stars a man who lives in a world of three kingdoms — life on the surface, in the clouds and underground, he said. The protagonist escapes to the sky nation and ends up in a bloody revolution, evolving to learn a lesson about trying to go to a better place and eventually learning the only way to make the world a better place comes from within. “If you want to change the world, you can’t wait on anyone else,” said Morris. “You have to do it yourself.” That’s exactly the message Morris hopes to shares through his charity organization, Earn Your Wings.
James Morris, 18, has hit the music scene full force with his four alternative rock albums, and he’s also making waves with his published novel. COURTESY PHOTO One of his several styles of charity bracelets, which he sells for $5 each to raise money for the Chadwick Center, promotes his message — “Be the difference.” Morris’ child advocacy efforts and fundraising for the Chadwick Center for

Children & Families, which is dedicated to caring for victims of family violence and child abuse, began when he became inspired by a presentation by Missing Persons Foundation founder Jannel Rapp at a music conference about five years ago,
he said. “She was saying, ‘If only I could find a high school student to help spread the word among youth,’” said Morris, a freshman at the time. “So I stood up and said, ‘I’ll do it,’ and I talked to her afterward and it all started from there.” Morris is trying to use music as an approach to grassroots outreach. He raises funds at every concert he plays around San Diego, at venues such as SOMA, Epicenter or the House of Blues. He has also raffled off a sixfoot-tall teddy bear at several shows, which raises about $200 or more each time. Working with the Alicia Project, Morris is currently helping promote a poster contest that asks kids worldwide to illustrate “What Safe Looks Like.” The contest is in its second year and has already secured a corporate sponsorship to award prizes. Morris said he taught himself how to play the guitar at age 13, and fell in love with music. He describes his own music as alternative rock, inspired by his own life, he said. “I write real songs with real meanings to me,” he said. “They are based on my own personal experiences.”
Between his charitable work, books and music, he said he stays pretty busy — OK, “partially insane,” he jokes. “I love all of it and couldn’t see my life without any of it,” he said, adding that he has been lucky to have the blessing of his school’s directors when his absences must be excused or homework made up. “It’s definitely tough, but I manage to work through it and maintain my grades,” he said, adding that he will soon be doing school visits in Carmel Valley, Poway, Del Mar and several other areas to educate about issues facing kids and promote the poster contest. He has also done local visits to shelters for kids and teens, acting as a counselor and guest for a day and putting on special concerts for atrisk youth. Morris also helped organize the “Keep Kids Safe” town hall forum held Jan. 30 at Cathedral Catholic High School. “Just my talking to them and listening, it really brightens the day for them,” he said.

CVMS students with the first place trophy.
Carmel Valley Middle School repeats as regional Science Olympiad champions BY RAM KRISHNAN AND BHUVANA RAMANATHAN Thirty-one schools, 98 teams, nearly 1,400 students, and one champion! The Carmel Valley Middle School (CVMS) Science Olympiad team won the regional Science Olympiad again! On Saturday, Feb. 2, the hard-working young scientists of CVMS repeated last year’s championship by beating many of the strongly ranked schools, such as Mesa Verde and Black Mountain to bring home the trophy. San Diego County hosts the largest Science Olympiad competition in the nation, with almost 1,400 students participating from grades 5 through 8. Teams are made up of 15 students each and compete in 23 sciencethemed events. This year, there were many new events such as Boomiliver, Helicopters, Sounds of Music and Metric Mastery, along with perennial favorites such as Anatomy, Disease Detectives, Forestry and Reach For The Stars. Students, along with volunteer coaches, began studying for each event back in October and spent four hard months in intense preparation to get ready for the competition. The day of the Olympiad started early for the CVMS students. The sun had not yet risen and the pink hues of the morning sky greeted us as we drove east to Ranch Bernardo High School. We were going to the 2013 Regional Science Olympiad as returning champions. The heavy weight of expectations of parents, coaches and teachers were on the students’ shoulders. In many ways this was a year of rebuilding for the CVMS SO team. The two CVMS Science Olympiad coordinators, Rekha Iyer and Yonghong Yang, were brand new and so were several of the coaches. Some of our best performers from last year’s winning team had gone on to high school and a fresh crop of eager 7th graders had taken their place. It was natural to wonder ‘Will we be able to recapture our winning ways?’ The students and coaches were wearing their bright green CVMS t-shirts. Understand-
ably, there was nervousness written on the young faces as they started making their way to their designated events. But as the morning wore on and more events were completed, there was growing confidence in our camp. After a full day of competitions, the awards ceremony started at 4.30 p.m. in the Rancho Bernardo High Gym packed to capacity with 2,500 students, coaches and parents. The always enthusiastic regional director, Liz Jablecki, called out the top 20 teams for each of the 23 individual events. Slowly but surely the wins piled up for the Bobcats. They managed to win an astounding nine events out of the 23 and got five second place and five third place finishes. Some of the events we won were brand new events like Boomilever, Rotor Egg Drop and Shock Value. After the individual awards it was time for the team awards. The Bobcats hearts were racing as Liz announced the top five teams. Black Mountain, our fierce competitor, was announced as the 5th place finisher. There was a tie for third – our own little neighbors the Torrey Hills Hawks won 3rd place along with Marshall. Finally Mesa Verde was announced as the 2nd place winner. Pandemonium broke among our ranks and we were cheering so loudly that our first place finish announcement was almost drowned out. Principal Laurie Brady complimented the winners saying, “I am immensely proud of our students, parent coaches and the well run Science Olympiad Program. The success of the Bobcat Team speaks volumes about Carmel Valley Middle School’s commitment to excellence and the collaborative spirit of our Learning Community. The Science Olympiad Club relies on the dedication and passion of our kids, the hard work and support of our parents, the collaborative efforts between our administration and coordinators and the ongoing support of our PTSA. Go Bobcats!” For more photos and the entire story, visit www.delmartimes.net (News category).

COMPTROLLER continued from page 3 closed the speech by saying one of Walker’s most memorable assertions was that Washington is dominated by “special interest wing nuts in career politics.” Walker spoke about his “roadmap to reform,” not only providing insight into why the country is amid a fiscal crisis, but he also offered ideas to help secure America’s financial future. He outlined needed reforms, from defense spending to tax cuts to the healthcare budget. His advocacy initiative also includes specific political reforms, such as redrawing congressional districts in states to be as competitive as
PLAN continued from page 1 nity to help shape the future of this community. It only happens every 20 years, and we highly encourage participation.” City general plans in-
possible and restructuring congressional elections to let all candidates run in the same primary, no matter their political party, with the top two vote-getters advancing to the general election. He also said that the U.S. government doesn’t need to balance the budget, but just get debt to a reasonable level. “When you have no plan, no budget and no performance measures,” Walker said, “all you have is prayer.” He went on to compare the federal budget of today to the budget of 1912, and he also projected what it will look like in 2040. He showed that in 1912 the budget was 97 percent in control, whereas it is now only 33 percent in control, with interest rates putting
the rest “on autopilot,” he said. “That one-third that’s being controlled is not being invested in young people; it’s being invested in seniors, and it’s not sustainable,” he said. “Something’s got to give.” Walker outlines his entire initiative in detail on his website, www.KeepingAmericaGreat.org, and he also he is also trying to empower citizens by outlining how to get involved on the site, as well as offering a “fiscal I.Q.” quiz to test people’s understanding of the country’s financial situation. Walker’s book, “Comeback America,” is also available on Amazon.com and other major book-selling websites.

clude several elements and are generally updated every 15 to 20 years, except for the housing element, of which the state requires an update and certification every eight years. Solana Beach Deputy City Manager Wendé Protzman said the city is well on its way to housing
element certification, as officials from the state Department of Housing and Community Development in December informed Solana Beach that it had met all necessary statutes, such as providing adequate regulations and land use designations to meet affordable housing standards. Now, the city is focusing on Solana Beach’s land use and circulation, before it revisits its conservation, open space, noise and safety elements likely next year. Officials are also at liberty to add elements as they wish if the community deems necessary, such as the optional economic development element added in 1988 and a possible environmental sustainability element that has been discussed in the community. “We’ve been talking about an environmental sustainability element, but real-
ly all the elements should be environmentally sustainable,” said Nichols, adding that elements can be combined (such as open space and conservation) or removed in order to work specific goals into all the elements. “We’ve also talked about a healthy lifestyle element, but it starts to get redundant the more you add.”

$13,000 federal community block grant and $25,000 in county vector habitat remediation funding — as well as $200,000 in TransNet tax funding, $25,000 from the Santa Fe Irrigation District and $112,000 from the city’s general fund. Minicilli said the Santa Fe Irrigation District funding was made possible because there was a problem with the water lines, which led to the opportunity to upgrade the crosswalk and sidewalk in the process. Currently, pedestrians can only legally cross Highway 101 on the north side of the Via de la Valle intersection. He also said that when the city applied for the local grant, awarded by San Di-
ego’s Department of Environmental Health, county officials identified the standing water on San Dieguito Road as a longstanding issue that needed to be prioritized, along with another vector control issue near the train tracks along the San Dieguito Lagoon. The San Diego County Vector Control Program (VCP) is a county environmental health branch that aims to prevent transmission of human disease by “vectors,” such as mosquitoes, ticks and rodents. That portion of the project, to take place from the tracks to 21st Street in Del Mar, is in the design process and awaiting permitting and information regarding possible environmental-related mitigation requirements.
through. “If you look at neighboring cities like Encinitas and Del Mar, everybody is reevaluating how to make a main street,” said city manager David Ott. “When the 101 was created it was the main thoroughfare, but now we want to discourage cutthrough and encourage people to come to our city as a destination.” For these reasons, the first phase of general plan redrafting — which includes circulation and land use and is estimated to wrap up next spring — will focus on slowing down traffic, reducing reliance on automobiles and enhancing pedestrian and bike circulation. This not only reflects the city’s change of environment since the general plan’s beginnings in 1986, but also a response to climate change and increasing number of regulatory influences regarding efforts like sustainability, alternative transportation and energy strategy. Current construction on the 101 is in line with circulation plans for the rest of the city, Ott said. “Twenty years ago there was a focus on the vehicle, and now there’s a focus on other forms of transit,” said Ott. “The thinking is that, instead of nice, big, wide streets that are dangerous to cross for pedestrians and bikes, we don’t have to try to get from point A to point B as fast as we can. Instead, we can offer a safer experience for bicyclists and pedestrians, and people want that kind of feeling.” The city has proposed a “multi-modal boulevard” designation for streets such as Stevens Avenue and Lomas Santa Fe Drive that will include bike paths, parking and sidewalks. On Stevens, for example, Ott said there is not enough traffic to war-
rant four lanes, and proposed changes include a reduction to two lanes to provide a better balance between cars, pedestrians and bikes. He said traffic studies have already been done there and have shown the change will be supported. Nichols referred to proposed circulation efforts as a “street makeover” and said that slowing traffic on Stevens Avenue is particularly important because that route connects local schools, a church, a library, and the Boys and Girls Club, from where kids walk almost daily to La Colonia Park, also located on Stevens. Streets like Glencrest Drive, Santa Helena and South Sierra Avenue are proposed to be designated as “residential bicycle boulevards” in which bikes will share the road with vehicles by painting “sharrows” on the roadway. When it comes to land use, city officials do not anticipate any zoning changes, but the city has proposed the implementation of a “visitor-serving” overlay zone that will require the City Council to address projects’ visitor-serving qualities to ensure they are in line with the general plan’s vision. Ott said that overlay zone is in line with the California Coastal Commission’s (CCC) goal of making beaches open and their communities visitor-friendly. “[The CCC] felt there was a need for that, for coastal areas to be enhanced as a statewide regional resource,” said Ott. “We didn’t disagree.” Nichols added, “It’s a win for us because we want people to come to Solana Beach.” The Feb. 21 general plan workshop will take place at City Hall, located at 635 S. Highway 101, at 6 p.m.

Lt. Governor Gavin Newsom will visit UCSD to discuss politics in the digital age Gavin Newsom, Lieutenant Governor of California and former mayor of San Francisco, will discuss his new book, “Citizenville: Reconnecting People and Government in the Digital Age,” as a guest of UC San Diego’s Revelle Forum, 7 p.m. Monday, Feb. 25 at the Institute of the Americas, 10111 North Torrey Pines Road, on campus. In the book, Newson argues that though voter turnout declines and approval ratings have reached record lows, Americans have not given up on government. He will relate “stories of individuals who are bridging the vast chasm separating government from the technologies already revolutionizing our daily lives,” according to a press release announcing his visit. “He contends that we are in an unprecedented era of citizen participation, and the only way for Americans to secure their future is to reinvent their relationship with their government—as they have countless times before, and have the power to do so again.” Thad Kousser, UCSD Associate Professor of Political Science, an authority on state and State of California politics, will interview Newsom. Admission is $25 per person. To register, call UCSD Extension at (858) 534-9999, or visit revelleforum.ucsd.edu. When registering, refer to section ID number 092753. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. A book signing will follow the lecture. Parking is $4 in the Pangea Structure nearby.

T. Denny Sanford makes seven-figure donation to support breast cancer research at Sanford-Burnham Philanthropist T. Denny Sanford has reaffirmed his commitment to Sanford-Burnham Medical Research Institute and expressed his confidence in its interim chief executive officer, Kristiina Vuori, M.D., Ph.D., by pledging a substantial donation for cancer research. “At this time of transition, I want to provide both financial support and a personal endorsement of Sanford-Burnham’s excellence,” Sanford said. “I have the utmost confidence in the Institute’s future and Dr. Vuori’s leadership as interim CEO.” Sanford’s previous pledges to the Institute total in excess of $70 million, including the transformative gift that resulted in the Institute’s name change in 2010. Vuori, president of the Institute since 2010, was named interim CEO last month when RSF’s John C. Reed, M.D., Ph.D., stepped down from the position. Reed and Vuori worked closely together during a time when the Institute emerged as a world leader in research and early-stage drug discovery. Vuori and her research team are investigating how individual tumors can differ genetically and why a treatment that works for one patient may not work for another. To find therapeutic drugs that work for specific breast tumor types, Vuori’s team will work with drug discovery experts in Sanford-Burnham’s Conrad Prebys Center for Chemical Genomics. The goal is to identify chemical compounds that have the potential to become new, more personalized, breast cancer therapies. Visit www.sanfordburnham.org

Music Director Amy Willcox conducting the full orchestra.
Torrey Pines invests in music program BY JOHN KOLACZ (COMMENTARY) New equipment was on display at Torrey Pines High School’s recent concert events. Most notably was the new sound system which spotlighted soloists like never before and made vocalists as clear as a bell. And there are more additions to the band inventory already budgeted. Amy Willcox, TPHS’ music director, has purchased a new digital piano and case already and is shopping for more instruments. And, the program has extended its commitment to providing additional at-school coaching this year to fill out the program’s needs. The Torrey Pines Music Boosters has conducted several well-received fundraisers to support the instrument buys and coaching investment, and is ready to have Mrs. Willcox budget for more. As the band program grows in stature in the community, more students are looking to TPHS to help them realize their goals. With the growing skill sets at her direction, Mrs. Willcox has added flair and student challenges to TPHS’ music repertoire. During the Winter Concert Series, for example, each ensemble dynamically showcased their musical range. The shows featured contemporary music from Slumdog Millionaire, classical pieces featuring compelling, dare I say tension-building soloists Leonard Chen and Austin Shyu, and the jazz band stupefying the crowd with their version of hip hop. Such risks! And rewards for the audience! Said concert goer Marinee Jay, “I am always thrilled at the artistry of what I hear and see from Mrs. Willcox and her students. Each time I attend a concert, I am moved to tears!” The music festival and competition season is upon us and Torrey Pines will again be prominent at events all over the state. The next scheduled appearance will be at Choices Night at Torrey Pines on Feb. 22 where the Advanced Orchestra, the Jazz Band and the Jazz Band combos will be playing on campus at Torrey Pines High School starting at 6:15 p.m. For more information about the TPHS music program visit http:/teachers.sduhsd.k12.ca/us/ awillcox.com/

Earl Warren Teen Korps member leading teen girls’ clothing donation drive Laila Voss, Earl Warren Middle School (EWMS) 8th grader and EWMS Teen Korps member, is leading a teen girls’ clothing donation drive and two Teen Korps community service events in support of My Girlfriend’s Closet during February. My Girlfriend’s Closet (http://www.mygirlfriendscloset.info/) is a San Diego-based nonprofit organization that collects quality, gently used clothing from teen girls in the greater San Diego area who can afford quality clothing and distributes it to teen girls who are homeless, in foster care, or otherwise economically disadvantaged. By offering stylish clothing free, in a pleasant, boutique-like “shopping” environment, My Girlfriend’s Closet provides a unique wardrobe resource that aims at helping these girls feel more self-confident and comfortable in their schools and communities.
Students and community members can donate gently used, clean clothing for teen girls ages 13-22 by placing it in a bag (trash bags are fine) and bringing it to the bin in the EWMS front office (155 Stevens Avenue in Solana Beach) from Tuesday, Feb. 19 through Friday, Feb. 22 during school hours (7:30 a.m. - 3 p.m.). In addition to the clothing donation drive, EWMS Teen Korps members are participating in two service events in support of My Girlfriend’s Closet – the first on Feb. 23, when they’ll help sort the donated clothing, and the second on March 3, when they’ll help distribute the donated clothing to the girls in need. Laila Voss and her mom, Deborah Chew, will lead these events for EWMS Teen Korps and its members. Please visit ewmsteenkorps.wordpress.com for more details.

Local resident helps children in need through Kuki Squared BY DIANE Y. WELCH To celebrate Valentine’s Day this year consider giving cookies that are handmade and square-shaped. That’s the tip from the founders of Kuki Squared, Alexander Evans-Pfeiffer and Barak Federman, freshmen at USC and Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity brothers. And through their buy one/give one concept, modeled on the TOMS shoe program, for every squareshaped “Kuki” that is purchased one is distributed to the needy, “but with cookies and smiles, instead of shoes and feet,” said Evans-Pfeiffer. Orphaned and impoverished children in Africa’s Mants’ase Children’s Home and the Semonkong Children’s Centre, and other disadvantaged children, have received cookies since Kuki Squared’s start-up last fall. The San Diego Rescue Mission and the City of Angels Children’s home in Tijuana have also been recipients. Evans-Pfeiffer – a local resident – and Federman both have a background in philanthropic endeavors, having respectively worked in orphanages in China and Mongolia, and having provided books to underprivileged children. While studying in the university library and getting to know each other the two learned of their common giv-
Kuki Squared founders Barak Federman and Alexander Evans-Pfeiffer COURTESY PHOTO ing efforts. “This led us to maximize our combined experience for a global reach and that’s when we conceived the idea of the cookie purchase/donation company,” explained Federman. With a shared love of cookies and a desire to give back, Kuki Squared was created. Every child loves cookies and this joy does not dissipate with age, they said. And when the cookies are of the highest quality the concept is even sweeter. The notion of a square cookie was created by Robin Ross — partner in Kuki Squared and owner of Cupcakes Squared — who uses mostly organic ingredients, including cagefree eggs and hormone-free dairy products in her recipes. “Our chocolate is from Belgium and there are never any preservatives or artificial
additives in our products. All nuts and dried fruits arrive to us raw and we roast them to perfection, using very little salt,” said Ross. A unique variety of flavors are available, including Almond Apricot, Pistachio Cherry, Cranberry White Chocolate and Chocolate Coconut Almond to create a lighter, less sweet, more flavorful cookie square. Ross’ signature square-shaped confections have been featured in the media and at the Academy Awards, as well as consumed by many celebrities and professional athletes. The delivery of cookies differs depending on the location. “We can ship via FedEx or hand-deliver to many parts of Mexico and the USA,” said Evans-Pfeiffer. “For Africa, we actively seek out information about missions scheduled to be there
so that we can send care packages to be hand-delivered by the missionaries.” Cookies stay fresh for up to three weeks in air-tight packaging. A more expedient method to deliver cookies is by providing funds to purchase the ingredients required to make the cookies. Some of the orphanages have facilities to bake for their children, while others may have a local bakery or other offsite kitchen providing that service. For orphanages that have neither, Kuki Squared donates funds and a recipe for healthy non-bake cookies. “In all these cases, we wire the funds directly to the orphanage to purchase the ingredients for themselves or to pay a baker,” said Federman. To facilitate distribution across the USA the two entrepreneurs are seeking marketing through restaurants and boutiques. “We need more consumers to buy our cookies, so that we, in turn, can give more cookies to children! We want to donate cookies and spread joy and smiles to children in all four corners of the world,” said Evans-Pfeiffer. Currently cookies are available from an online web store. Visit www. KukiSquared.com to find out more about the company and to purchase its cookies.
Del Mar resident among Mobil phone pioneers receiving Draper Prize, engineering’s top honor The mobile phone pioneers who laid the groundwork for today’s smartphone will be presented with engineering’s highest honor during a Feb. 19 ceremony in Washington. The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) will honor Del Mar’s Martin Cooper, Joel Engel, Richard Frenkiel, Thomas Haug, and Yoshihisa Okumura with the Charles Stark Draper Prize, which annually recognizes engineers whose accomplishments have significantly benefited society, and is considered the Nobel Prize of engineering. The prize includes a Martin Cooper $500,000 award. Photo/Jon Clark The idea for cellular phones grew out of exploration that began in the 1940s at AT&T and Bell Labs. Joel Engel and Richard Frenkiel of Bell Labs were among the earliest engineers to develop a plan for a network of low-power transmitters that came to be known as cells. Later improvements that enabled mobile users to make and maintain calls while traveling over wider areas came from the work of Yoshihisa Okumura of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Basic Research Laboratories in Japan, and Thomas Haug of Nordic Mobile Telephony. Martin Cooper, who led Motorola’s mobile phone research, made the first call on a hand-held cell phone in 1973. The Charles Stark Draper Prize was established and endowed by Draper Laboratory in 1988 in tribute to its founder, Dr. Charles Stark Draper, who pioneered inertial navigation. It honors those who have contributed to the advancement of engineering and to improve public understanding of the importance of engineering and technology.

SD Charger Quentin Jammer pays it forward to disadvantaged youth through Jammer Family Foundation BY KAREN BILLING Eleven-year San Diego Charger Quentin Jammer knows that he wouldn’t be where he is today without somebody giving him that helpful nudge in the right direction. With his Jammer Family Foundation he hopes to return the favor. Since 2007, his foundation has focused on empowering disadvantaged youth in San Diego and giving them the encouragement and the support they need to reach their highest potential. Much of his foundation’s work has centered on San Pasqual Academy, a school for foster children in Escondido. A big part of why Jammer does what he does with his foundation is thanks to the influence he received from his college football coach, University of Texas’ Mack Brown. When he was a sophomore at Texas, Jammer had been getting into a lot of trouble and Brown wanted him to know he was wasting an opportunity to be great. Brown told him NFL scouts had Jammer highly rated as a player and the choice was his whether or not he wanted to have a professional career. “He told me to shape up or ship out,” said Jammer, a local resident. “He didn’t give up on me. He could have. But he sat me down and gave me that come to Jesus moment that projected me to where I am today. I could be doing something different. “It’s in me that I wanted to be able to affect a person in that same way. You never know who you could impact and make a difference in someone’s life…you could inspire them to become a doctor and cure diseases or to change the world. All it takes is a little spark to get somebody going. To be able to help is important to me because somebody did it for me.” The Jammer Foundation hosts several events throughout the year such as Jammin Under the Stars, Jbowl, a charity bowling event, and last year’s Crush for a Cause, which supported his Legends for Literacy program. Legends for Literacy provides children in after-school programming, such as the Boys and Girls Clubs of San Diego, with new technology to improve reading comprehension and literacy skills. On Jan. 23, Jammer was on hand to deliver 175 Amazon Kindle e-readers to the Boys and Girls Club of Greater San Diego. Jammer knew that he wanted his foundation to support kids. “Everybody needs some direct motivation, why not reach children because they’re at the stage where they can go either way and maybe you can be the push they need to get them over the hump and point them in the right direction,” Jammer said. At San Pasqual his foundation helped build the school’s football field and they are looking to complete work on the school’s track and get a concession stand built. The foundation also provides scholarships for San Pasqual students, as well as students at his hometown high school in Angleton, Texas. “I’m proud of where it’s at today,” Jammer said of the
Quentin Jammer Photo/Karen Billing foundation. When he started out with his ex-wife Alicia, they were funding everything themselves. Getting more people involved has allowed them to help more people. Jammer said he is grateful to have an amazing team to help his foundation run smoothly and effectively — including longtime friend Rob Powell, who serves as the foundation’s executive director, and Jolane Crawford, who does business development for the organization. “They have done great things,” Jammer said of them. A strong point of the Jammer Foundation is that every child gets the same opportunity for education and athletics, with a solid support system. Jammer got his start in organized sports playing baseball as his mom found football too dangerous, even though he was knocked around plenty playing foot-

ball with neighbor kids in their yards. By middle school he was playing football on a team. “I started out my football career as a linebacker, probably the smallest linebacker in the history of football,” Jammer said with a laugh. He played a bit of quarterback as a freshman in high school before moving to safety, eventually earning a spot as a University of Texas Longhorn where — after coach Brown’s “come to Jesus moment” — he became an All-American as a senior in 2001 and was named a co-MVP. Brown was right that Jammer was on the NFL’s radar: He was drafted number five in the first round of the 2002 draft. “It was one of the greatest days of my life,” Jammer said of going to New York for the draft with his family. “The day was nerve wracking and exciting and sad, I had all kinds of emotions going into that day.”
Jammer had never set out with the intention of playing professionally and maybe never believed he’d end up in the NFL — he learned early that the chances were very rare and thought maybe football would get him through school so he could get a job and help his mom pay some bills. What he’s accomplished, however, is a long, 11-year career with the Chargers as a physical cornerback. He was named one of the “50 Greatest Chargers of All Time” and has logged 172 games with the Chargers — only Dan Fouts, Junior Seau and David Binn have played in more games in franchise history. The 2012 season saw Jammer put up some numbers in a column he hadn’t before —career touchdowns. He recorded two pick-sixes this season. His first NFL touchdown was made off an electrifying interception of the Denver Broncos’ quarterback Peyton Manning in a
primetime Monday Night Football match-up at Qualcomm. On the play, Jammer watched as Eric Weddle blitzed and recognized that Manning was checking down to a quick slant route. “I jumped it and the receiver ran a different route and the ball ended up in my hands,” Jammer said. “I was tired on the play, winded and gassed, and I really had to run. In the end zone I was laying down, people thought it was because I scored the touchdown but it was because I was tired.” Jammer ran 80 yards for the touchdown and the image of him stretching for the end zone pylon made him Mr. January in the team’s annual calendar. “It was crazy, it was nuts. It was an awesome feeling but it was tainted by the loss,” Jammer said, referencing the second half collapse in which the Broncos came back from being down

Patriot Profiles: ‘I was embarking on the adventure of a lifetime’ This column presents “Patriot Profiles” to provide readers insight into the lives of our country’s heroes. BY JEANNE MCKINNEY It was an unusual Christmas Day in Musa Qal’eh, Afghanistan, the last stop of an historic tour. Everyone in 2nd Battalion 7th Fox Company (2/7) was excited for the arrival of Marine Corps Commandant James Amos and his travel partner, Mrs. Bonnie Amos. On Dec 21, 2012, the Amos’ left the U.S. and flew in military aircraft across seas and continents to their destination: Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) in the wilds of the country. On their hearts and minds were thousands of troops working hard in a war-torn land. As a V-22 Osprey flew them in, Bonnie was elated and anxious to wrap a Merry Christmas hug around Marines she calls her “kids.” While General Amos and Sergeant Major Barrett were engaging with their troops, Bonnie was sniffed and licked by Corporal Dunn, an IED chocolate Labrador, who allowed her to sit on his bench. “I’m loving on this dog,” she says, telling it, “I’m a girl – that’s why I smell different,” making the guys who had gathered around laugh. Camp cook, Lance Corporal “Cookie” Haynes, had prepared a sumptuous Christmas dinner. When Cookie found out a prior commitment would make the special guests miss his dinner he said, “I spent all evening making homemade apple pies for the company.
First Lady of the Marine Corps Bonnie Amos greets locals in Puzeh, Helmund Province, Afghanistan in December 2012. Would you please have an apple pie with us?” “It was the best apple pie I have ever put in my mouth,” Bonnie said. Captain Thomas Harris, 2/7 Company Commander, had to set Bonnie straight when she said, “When we leave, you might not have Cookie or your dog.” Harris took her by the shoulders and replied, “Ma’am, you can have any of us in the company, but you can’t take Cookie or the dog.” He added, “My mom is going to be so thrilled you got to hug me…I can’t believe you are here.” At first Gen. Amos wasn’t keen on Bonnie going. She got in cahoots with Major General Charles Gurganus, in charge on the ground side over there, along with General John Allen, Commanding General of International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), and longtime friend General James Mattis, Central Com-
mand. All of them agreed that Bonnie would be the perfect person for the Marines right now and one to bring good news about their successes back home. “I was embarking on the adventure of a lifetime,” remembers Bonnie. Their first stop on Dec. 23 was Camp Bastion, a camp held by the British, then by jeep they traveled over sand and gravel roads to Camp Leatherneck, a main operating base in the Helmund Province originally set up for 20,000 Marines, but now
houses about 7,000 still in support of Operation Enduring Freedom. Bonnie describes Camp

Leatherneck as a massive maze of tarped buildings which form a framework for living, working, planning, staging, and all military operation duties. She slept in one of the cans, a big white container strung with electricity that has a bed, small desk and locker. She and Gen. Amos followed the camp rules; including General Order #1 which states married couples cannot cohabitate. At every stop, standard protocol was to meet with Commanding officers for briefings and map out visits. Christmas Eve, they started early, “I got on my battle rattle, my flak jacket and boots. We got in the Osprey and flew to Puzeh. We have some special oper-

ating forces that are doing village stability. As we approached the Marines, the children came out touching me, talking. I said hello and shook their hands.” Two female Marines, part of our Female Engagement Teams, are based there reaching out to village women, Bonnie states, “teaching everything from hygiene to education — getting to know the villagers and establishing pathways of trust.” They flew into three more Forward Operating Bases (FOBs) that day. Bonnie reminds, “We’re not in very strong kinetics. We’re doing more recruiting and training along with adapting and implementing the Afghan Army and Police Force,” yet adds, “Marines are on their A game and very alert. They’re always armed with an M-4 rifle.” “As a Marine Corps, we’re very optimistic that we are setting them [the Afghans] up for the best they can be. They’re stepping up to the mission. They want their region to be successful and live in peace.” Bonnie and Gen. Amos received clear orders for their MRAP armored convoy trip to various camps in Kajaki. “There’s a machine gunner [lookout] in the turret above us. If he were to be injured, Jim was to pull his body out of the way and take the gun turret and begin firing. I was to open the packet in the gunner’s jacket with tourniquets and blood coagulation material and address the wound. We were to never lose our cool and continue with the convoy to a place of safety.” Asked about clear and present danger she said, “I stayed in my little world of the unknown and trusted [the gunner]. He’s somebody’s son, about 22, taking this very seriously and being enormously professional.” Bonnie was thrilled there were no combat-injured Marines or service members in any of the three hospital treatment facilities they visited, including one in Bagram, where severely wounded are flown in. Bonnie presents a poignant scene, “It’s a big covered receiving area that can handle a lot of patients at once. On the ceiling, is the American flag, with hope if they can open their eyes, they can see it.” “When we would land, everybody would come in a school circle — could be a 100 or 500. My husband would talk to them about their process, progress, and successes in where we are today.” Sgt. Maj Barrett would speak. He’s an energizer bunny. He thrills those kids and gets them fired up.” Bonnie reminded them not to forget to call home, saying, “We miss you being under our Christmas trees.” For Marines on their serious A game, even Christmas Eve is still day X of their deployment with X days remaining. Bonnie got a kick out seeing 2/9 Company relax and enjoy the festivities. The night started with words and a prayer from the Chaplain followed by a Gospel choir. There were drawings and giveaways and the U.S. Air Force Central Command Band from Qatar started up. “They were the BEST rock and roll music,” chimes Bonnie, “got those kids dancing in the aisles.” Christmas day, four-star Generals Mattis, Allen, and Amos, and Bonnie helped serve dinner.

again create the “merge,” as the spaces could appeal to bachelors, young couples, small families or empty nesters looking to downsize but remain in the Carmel Valley community. He hopes retail uses and the tenants of his unique office spaces will utilize a planned central green area. “We’re very proud of this,” Levitt said. “I love the opportunity to work with all the uses over here and I think we can be a real asset to the community.” With his residential units, he wanted to avoid people looking into each other’s homes, so he gave every unit indoor/outdoor connectivity. The townhomes, which will face Drycliff Trail, will feature detached garages with a private yard between the home and the garage. Levitt also wants to be unique with his office spaces, noting that there have been changes in the office environment—there’s less of a focus on everyone having their own office, people are doing more collaborative work. To that end, Levitt wants to create flexible use space, where people could be working in a group on laptops around a table. The spaces will be concrete ceiling and floors with glass all around and the tenants will be able to create the space they need. “It’s something different and unique that you won’t find in Del Mar or Carmel Valley,” said Scott Maas, associate principal at Safdie Rabines Architects, the project architect. Safdie Rabines’ work can be seen locally at the Carmel Valley Northwestern Division station, Scripps Seaside Forum in La Jolla and the Eleanor Roosevelt College at UC San Diego. Maas said the plan with the green space is to use beautiful native landscaping, trees and moveable furniture so that the people at Merge can define how they want to use the space. The offices and homes will look out onto the green space and the retail spaces will face Carmel Mountain Road as well as the courtyard. “That engages the space,” Maas said. “It creates a buzz and generates activity.” The committee, as well as neighbors in attendance, voiced concerns about the project’s architecture. The look, from preliminary renderings, is modern with flat roofs and big tall windows. Committee Chair Frisco White called it “urban” and board member Nancy Novak said the townhomes looked like “barracks.” “I love that you’re fronting Carmel Mountain and Carmel Country Roads and I love the layout but I think that the architecture is a stark contrast to what’s already there,” said Laura Copic, the neighborhood 10 representative on the board. “I have a hard time seeing how these townhomes and the townhomes across the street from that are going to blend together.” One resident agreed with Novak that the townhomes resembled barracks and the ar-
chitecture was too industrial. “We live in that community because we like how it looks, we’re not asking anyone to change the look of our community,” she said. “We just need to know why you’re going in this direction versus getting some of the character of the community so it doesn’t stand out as a pimple on the corner,” White said. White added that it would be a nice looking pimple but it is definitely very different from what is around it—lots of peak roofs and height variations. Levitt said the renderings don’t do the project justice as the quality materials of brick, stone and warm wood “won’t come across as contemporary.” He said he’s kept the roofs flat so that they can generate more solar uses and the large windows promote the use of natural light. He said they have had a lot of internal debate about the design. “We realize that we’re doing something for the existing community but it fits in and I think will add character to the community,” Levitt said. White said he is not advocating that it all has to be tile roofs and stucco but asked that he take a look at the forms of the neighborhood around the project and try to pick some of that up in the design. Others, like John Finley, liked the idea of something different. “In Carmel Valley it’s just a sea of the same,” Finley said. “This is something that can be so new and refreshing.” Copic also asked why there was twice as much office as retail planned for the project. Subcommittee co-chair Jan Fuchs said that the familyorientation of the area is as high there if not higher than anywhere in Carmel Valley and they are looking forward to having places to go. Levitt said he’s concerned about attracting enough retail that will be able to be viable. He’s envisioning two to three small bakery/restaurants, a coffee shop, maybe a small jeweler. Residents in attendance had additional concerns about having retail and outdoor cafes so close to a very busy street with “pretty heavy traffic.” Levitt said besides the morning peak hours of 8-9 a.m. and afternoons between 4:30 and 5 p.m., there is not a lot of traffic on the street and the streets in the area are wide and overbuilt. Levitt plans to do a formal project submittal to the city at the end of the month. After the city’s review comments he plans to come back to the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board with any changes in the next 90 days. He also plans to meet with a neighborhood homeowners association in March. The project will require a site development permit and one deviation as one building on Carmel Country is 3 feet over the 30-foot height limit. Levitt hopes to get the project through the planning system in the next six months.

Ocean Air Elementary School shines at Science Olympiad BY HARITHA DOPPALAPUDI The youngest elementary school of the Del Mar Union School District achieved yet another milestone. Ocean Air kids participated in the prestigious San Diego Regional Science Olympiad held in Rancho Bernardo High School on Feb. 2 for the first time and won medals and ribbons in nine events. About 1,400 students, mostly middle schoolers, from all over San Diego County participated in this competition. Stacie Waters, the school science teacher, worked tirelessly the past few months getting the Ocean Air teams ready for the competition. She encouraged and personally trained numerous teams. Some parents volunteered as well to coach individual events. Children enthusiastically participated in the training sessions, learned science, built models and conducted scientific experiments. Being first-time participants in Science Olympiad and the expected intense competition from middle schools, the Ocean Air Elementary students weren’t expecting to win any medals. The kids enjoyed the competition day at Rancho Bernardo High School as if it was a picnic with their friends. The most exciting part of the completion was undoubtedly the award ceremony in the gymnasium. Hundreds of middle schoolers were loudly cheering for their schools, some running around with their banners, some of the schools were stomping “We will, we will rock you..”, creating a sports championship-like atmosphere. Ocean Air students entered the hall not sure what to make of all the noise and quietly settled down on the floor. A few moments later, Liz Jablecki, the San Diego regional director of the event started announcing the winners of the 23 events. Ocean Air students could not believe their ears when they heard their name called out for Rotor Egg Drop for 18th place. It took them a good few seconds before they started screaming with excite See OLYMPIAD, page 22

Solana Pacific Science Olympiad team members.
Solana Pacific Sand Pipers Rookie Team places high in several events at 2013 Science Olympiad The San Diego Regional Division B Science Olympiad was held on Feb. 2 at Rancho Bernardo High School and Bernardo Heights Middle School. This year 31 schools, 98 teams, and over 1,400 students competed in 23 science-related events. A rookie school in this year’s Science Olympiad was Carmel Valley’s own Solana Pacific Elementary —a 5th/6th grade school. Under the guidance, and leadership of Head Coach Monalisa Chakraborty, the Sand Pipers competed in 18 of the 23 events with 63 students participating! Pulling this off was no small feat! Chakraborty first approached principal Brian McBride last spring to ask about starting science olympiad at Solana Pacific. Principal McBride was thrilled and gave his support. He opened up the school for the informational meetings, got the PTSA to help support this endeavor, and he even made the school available for coaches to hold practices. Then Chakraborty got parents and high school students to volunteer their time and expertise to coach the various events. The high school students, many of
whom have siblings at Solana Pacific, earned volunteer hours, as well as great experience, teaching these 5th and 6th graders science . Since October, each group met weekly for at least one-and-a-half hours to prepare for the big event. Each child participated in two-three events which ranged from Anatomy, Boomilever, Disease Detectives, Meteorology, Heredity, Rocks and Minerals, Science Crime Busters, Metric Mastery, Keep the Heat, Road Scholar etc. The Rookie Sand Pipers showed that they will be a big contender soon! They actually placed high in several events (out of 96 teams): 1st - Reach For Stars; 2nd, 15th and 20th - Meterology; 2nd - Rocks and Minerals; 4th - Water quality; 5th - Reach For Stars; 7th, 9th , 10th &12th - Mission Possible; 7th - Crime Buster; 13th and 21st Anatomy; 13th -Helicopters. The students worked hard, had fun and learned some new things! They also learned about teamwork and working with partners. For more photos, see this story at www. delmartimes.net (News category)

Former rugby player/coach named Academic advisor for the USA Rugby High School All-American Team • Karen Fong-Donoghue also helps students get into the right school BY KAREN BILLING Local college counselor Karen Fong-Donoghue specializes in working with families to get students into the right school. Working for Dunbar Educational Consultants, the former rugby player has a soft spot for helping local rugby players reach the next level. The former assistant rugby coach at Cathedral Catholic High, Fong-Donoghue was recently named the academic advisor for the USA Rugby High School AllAmerican Team. Aspiring rugby players can Karen Fong-Donoghue. face some challenges when Photo/Karen Billing looking to continue their playing career in college — rugby isn’t a sport that the majority of players can get recruited for as there are only 18 varsity or quasi-varsity rugby programs in U.S. colleges. UC Berkeley, Wheeling Jesuit and Notre Dame College of Ohio are just some examples of varsity rugby where the sport can get help with admission or a financial scholarship. As there are limited opportunities to play collegiate rugby, students have to have the GPA, the test scores and the eligibility requirements to first get into schools and get the chance to play and possibly move on to the national or Olympic level. “My whole philosophy with my company is I want a best fit,” Fong-Donoghue said. “I want a kid to go to a school where they have the best chance to be successful in college and also successful in their sport.” Fong-Donoghue played rugby at UC Davis, getting into the scrum at the ground level of the women’s sport at the college. It was still a relatively new women’s sport in college and her first year as a freshman was also the start of a new league in Northern California. “When I went to school I knew I wanted to do a sport and I thought why not do a sport where everyone is on the ground floor learning,” said Fong-Donoghue, who played volleyball and was part of the cheer team in high school. It was a fun yet challenging sport and she played five
years for Davis. She reached collegiate All American status in 2000 and in 2002 she played for the Junior National Team, touring England. Fong-Donoghue continued to play in the adult club level for the UCLA Club Team and founded the Santa Monica Women’s Rugby Team before retiring from play and moving to San Diego to get her school counseling degree and get into rugby coaching. She coached the San Diego Young Aztecs youth club from 2008-11, was the assistant coach at Cathedral Catholic for the last two years and now regularly works as a rugby referee in addition to her consulting services. In December, Fong-Donoghue provided consulting help at the USA Rugby High School All American Camp in December, which featured 110 players from all over the U.S. and five from Carmel Valley high schools, including Torrey Pines High senior Billy Maggs; brothers Johnathan and Torran Raby, a senior and sophomore at Torrey Pines; Cathedral Catholic junior Aaron Mitchell; and Cathedral senior Drew Gaffney. With some help working with Fong-Donoghue, Maggs has already verbally committed to Cal Berkeley rugby. He was a member of last year’s High School All American team and was selected to the USA Rugby High School All Americans 7s team for 2013 and will compete at the Las Vegas 7s. Gaffney has also committed to Cal and was a member of the HSAA team last year and Mitchell has been selected to the HSAA U17 team that will tour England in March. “The key thing I told the players was that they need to understand they need to do well in the classroom as much as they are doing well on the pitch,” Fong- Donoghue said. As an example, she said one of the top rugby programs right now is at Dartmouth where the head coach recently stepped down to focus as coach of the Sevens National Team that will go to the Olympics. “I told them if you’re going to go to Dartmouth, you better have your grades and test scores and the entire package for you to go and play there,” she said. “You can’t get ‘Cs and Ds’ and expect to play there. The parents were glad that I said that.” San Diego and the Carmel Valley area specifically has become a real hotbed for growing top level rugby players.

mel Valley with just two teams. Now the league has about 170 players in the program with teams from under-8 to under-19 and partners with Torrey Pines High for their junior varsity and varsity teams. Their club high school team which plays when the high school season ends, draws players from Cathedral Catholic, Torrey Pines, Canyon Crest Academy, La Costa Canyon and Westview. Cathedral is in the process of building its own club which will have under-8 through under-14 squads. “It’s a less structured game so all the kids have the opportunity to explore more with their athletic ability rather than be relegated to a certain roll,” said Bill Leversee, the Mustangs director of coaching who played for the U.S. National Team and played the sport professionally in South Africa and Europe. Leversee said the club still has room to grow—they are looking to get CIF sanctioned, which will allow them to be even more competitive and they are trying to build awareness at local grade schools by introducing rugby in PE classes. “Rugby is what lacrosse was a few years ago in terms of growth,” Fong-Donoghue said. “It can be a pathway to college and I think more families are taking notice.”

The spending begins BY MARSHA SUTTON T h e current financing schedule for San Dieguito Marsha Sutton Union High School District’s $449 million Proposition AA bond shows that $160 million Series A bonds will be issued this April, which is about one-third of the total. Three more draws are planned over the next six years: $125 million Series B in 2015, $100 million Series C in 2017 and $64 million Series D in 2019. The first draw of $160 million will be separated into Series A-1 bonds for $10.8 million, which is taxable, and tax-exempt Series A-2 bonds for $149.2 million. The $10.8 million Series A-1 money will be used to repay 2010A Qualified School Construction Bonds, which were issued to fund solar projects at two of the district’s schools three years ago. Prop. AA’s ballot language listed this repayment as an intended use of part of the bond money, making it
legal. According to SDUHSD’s Feb. 7 school board report, the largest portions of the Series A-2 money in the first draw, the $149.2 million, will be allocated as follows: •$52.5 million for the new middle school in Pacific Highlands Ranch, for land purchase, design work and construction •$27.7 million at San Dieguito Academy in Encinitas, for artificial turf field, synthetic track, stadium reconstruction and a new math/science building •$20 million at Canyon Crest Academy, for fields and athletic facilities •$14.4 million on the La Costa Valley school site in Carlsbad, for a multi-purpose room and athletic fields •$13.4 million at La Costa Canyon High School in Carlsbad, for technology infrastructure, media center remodel and planning for future construction The rest will be used for lower-cost projects at the two middle schools in Encinitas, planning for future construction at Carmel Valley and Earl Warren middle schools, small projects at Torrey Pines High School

and district-wide technology infrastructure. Eric Dill, SDUHSD’s associate superintendent of business services, said about $20 million in this first draw will be spent on design work and the approval process for the first phases of construction on each of the school sites in the Master Plan. These are projects that require substantial architectural and engineering design and need extended lead time for the state approval process. “Most of those construction projects will not start until we receive funding from our second draw which is estimated for 2015, but we will have already gone through the approval process so we will be ready to go when the funding arrives,” Dill said. Specific school construction master plans can be viewed on the district’s website [http://www.sduhsd. net/]. Dill said most of the money in this first draw will be spent before the second draw in 2015, with the exception of the new middle school in Pacific Highlands Ranch and one building at San Dieguito Academy, both of which will spill over into 2016. For the new middle school, Dill said the district needs to have “100 percent of the funding before we
start. We don’t want to suddenly slam on the brakes.” $52.5 million for new middle school The district is budgeting about $52.5 million in this first draw for the new middle school which will be constructed in two phases, the first in 2015 and the second in 2020, to accommodate an eventual 1,000 students. This amount is an estimate of the total costs for land purchase, design and architectural work, site preparation, and the first phase of construction which will serve 500 students. Of the $52.5 million, $1.8 million is for architectural and engineering services from the firm Lionakis, with offices in Newport Beach. Actual construction on Phase 1 is expected to run about $36 million, Dill said. This leaves about $14.7 million for land acquisition, although Dill would not state precisely how much the land will cost, as the district is currently in closedsession negotiations with landowner Pardee Homes over the final purchase price. The $36 million for construction will fund the building of the core campus which will include classroom buildings, common areas and administrative offices.
Predicting Paseo
Phase 2 construction, which will add another 500 seats, will cost less because the common areas will already be built. The cost of the land, Dill said, will be either the option purchase price, which was a number set in 2004 that inflates every year, or the current appraised market value – whichever is lower. If the lower of the two is the option purchase price, the district will pay about $12 million. $20 million for CCA fields Astute readers will note that last week I reported that the field work being done this summer at Canyon Crest Academy would cost $3 million. Clearly, this new number given at the Feb. 7 board meeting – $20 million for CCA – is way higher. Dill explained that the $3 million cost for the CCA fields referred specifically to projects to be completed this summer, which are to install artificial turf and synthetic track and provide stadium seating. The remaining $17 million in the first draw will be spent to relocate fields to make room for construction of the new middle school adjacent to CCA. These will be completed not this summer but over the next two See SPENDING, page 19 crease of a couple thousand square feet. This will be bigger than the entire UTC shopping center.” Driving in the last nail I said, “The increase in traffic from the proposed development could be more than 5 X greater than the current entitlement. We already know that the current traffic load onto I-5 is already jammed during commuting hours. Parking could become a nightmare for neighboring residential streets. Could we call the project ‘Pain Street?’” And finally, “Instead of playing their game and focusing on their profit, what if we involve the community in a rational conversation about what changes could enhance our lives and what changes should be discouraged to protect our residential neighborhoods. Then we ask our elected representatives to work for our interests.” Thank you, Kilroy, for acting out my script so faithfully. So far. Now comes my next prediction. We will not be suckered into ruining our neighborhoods to pad your bottom line. You will get the zoning called for in the Community Plan and no more. We will just say no... No way!

SPENDING continued from page 18 years, Dill said. The district plans to buy two parcels adjacent to CCA on the east and west sides of the high school campus. The six- and sevenacre parcels are both dirt lots currently. The east side is for the middle school while the west side will be for eventual expansion of CCA. “The new middle school will be located on the southeast side of the CCA campus, partially on one of the new parcels but extending into space that is currently used as field space for CCA,” Dill said. The district needs to relocate CCA’s fields west onto the other new parcel because the new middle school will encroach into CCA’s field space. Because two parcels were offered to the district at different years, due to circumstances in the developing community that shifted Pardee’s priorities, CCA ended up being built to bisect the two parcels, requiring the need to move fields to make room for the middle school, Dill explained. Over-enrollment at Carmel Valley Middle School and a growing population in Pacific Highlands Ranch meant greater demand and a re-evaluation of the property, and “the idea to combine the total acreage and shift fields … was born,” Dill said. Therefore, “to accommodate a contiguous middle school campus which will straddle new and existing district-owned property,” $17 million of funds in the first draw for CCA is related to the relocation of fields, he said. Specifically, the district will spend the $17 million to move four baseball and softball diamonds, one each for varsity and junior varsity. The work includes drainage, restrooms and concession buildings, seating around the baseball diamonds, dugout structures, backstops, fencing and general purpose fields for physical education and for field sports like soccer, lacrosse and field hockey. Dill said the district hopes to begin this phase of field work this fall and complete it in 2014. No CABs At San Dieguito Academy, the $27.7 million listed in this first draw includes $3 million for field work this summer, as reported last week. The remaining $24.7 million will be spent mostly on a new math/science building. The $14.4 million to be spent on athletic fields and a multi-purpose room in La Costa Valley in Carlsbad is an interesting project, since the district has determined
February 14, 2013 that, because of declining enrollment in Encinitas, there is no imminent need for a middle school there as originally planned when the land was purchased by the district in 1999. Residents in that community protested loudly several years ago about the land sitting empty. Dill said the district approached the homeowners association about this idea to develop the land using bond proceeds and they were receptive. He said constructing a multi-purpose room and athletic fields on the site is a good use of the bond money because an MPR can be for community use, after-school programs and adult education. And fields can be used by the community, for overflow from other nearby schools and for independent sports programs. “This is bringing value to the overall community,” Dill said. The payback ratio for this first draw, which includes no Capital Appreciation Bonds, is estimated to be no higher than 1 to 2.25, according to district documents. The interest is $200 million on the $160 million principal, for a debt service of $360 million. The estimated costs associated with issuing this first draw come to $1,325,720. Dill said the costs of issuance are capped by law at 2 percent, and this comes to .829 percent. Further, he said the amounts to be paid are not-to-exceed dollars, and the district is actively negotiating with all parties to further lower costs. The biggest fees will be paid as follows (estimated amounts): • $800,000 to bond underwriter De La Rosa & Co. of Los Angeles • $135,000 to bond counsel DLA Piper of San Diego • $85,000 to financial advisor The Dolinka Group of Irvine • $70,000 for disclosure counsel Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe of San Francisco • $80,000 to rating agency Moody’s • $60,000 to rating agency Standard & Poor’s • $60,000 to the county for election costs To oversee the Prop. AA projects, two more positions have been added to the four approved last month to join the in-house staff.

Center in Santa Cruz. She took pride in her work, and rightly so. Wendelin was able to present complex concepts in simple ways by refining words and perfecting visuals until each exhibit pleased the mind and the eye. Her other favorite medium was pencil and paper. Rarely without a sketchbook, she would fill them up, one after another, with drawings that effortlessly captured the essence of her subject with only a few well-placed lines. Late in life, Wendelin took up painting, and that gave her great joy. Wendelin stood up to challenges, and she was forever the student of whatever she found interesting or attractive. She entered the male-dominated world of Tai Chi Chuan and achieved the highest level of mastery, and went on to become a respected teacher. Wendelin thought of herself as an explorer and she cherished the many opportunities she had to travel. She has also lived abroad twice, first in Oslo, and later in Paris. She loved the French culture, language, and people. On any given day, she would always rather be in Paris. The signs were there early. Her name at birth was Wendelin Ann Valleau. As an adult, she changed her last name to Montciel, meaning mountain-sky, in French. Wendelin was attracted to smart, impassioned people, and they to her. She kept many close friends and her dedication to each of them Wendelin was unwavering. That went Montciel both ways, as was evident in the enormous love and 1950 – 2013 Wendelin Montciel left this caring she received when she needed it most. life on New Year’s morning She is predeceased by her 2013.

The Colts were 13-3 and picked to win the Super Bowl and the Chargers came in without Ladanian Tomlinson while Philip Rivers left the game with an injury. “It was really was on the defense to try and win the game. We ended up playing great and winning and going to the AFC Championship. It was an awesome game,” Jammer said. Jammer has been inspired by his “class act” teammates, such as LT, Rivers, Antonio Gates and Eric Weddle. He said they are not only great football players but they are humble, great men who never hesitated to help him out with his foundation. One example was Rivers’ help in getting the new football field built at San Pasqual. Jammer’s Foundation had raised a little over half of what they needed to build the field —one request to Rivers and he and his Rivers of Hope charity got involved and the project was able to be completed. Family is very important to Jammer and he’s a father of three sons. Little Jammers Caden, Caleb and Cason will turn 7, 5 and 4 in a stretch of birthdays starting Valentine’s Day through April. Similar to his mother, Jammer is holding off on
letting them play tackle football for now, but Caden will play some flag football this year. He’s followed through on those plans to help his mom — setting her up nicely in Texas and helping put his little brother Quandre Diggs through college. His brother now plays cornerback for the Texas Longhorns and Coach Brown. Currently Jammer is a free agent and it has been reported that he will likely not be back with the Chargers next season. Jammer thinks he still has about three to five years in him to play. He still feels great, a credit to changing his style of play once he became a dad. To be a less risky player he has worked to become a “perfect tackler” to avoid those costly hits that could prevent him from playing with his kids post-football. No matter what NFL team he lands on, Jammer and his foundation will maintain their presence in the San Diego community. “It’s where I started my career and the city embraced me, even after I struggled for my first two seasons,” Jammer said, “I’ve played here for 11 years, this is home now… I’ll continue my foundation and try to impact the community the best that I can.” To donate to the foundation or learn more about upcoming events, visit jammerfoundation.org.

Long career leads Charles Wilson to Chadwick Center for Children and Families BY KATHY DAY Growing up, Charles Wilson didn’t know that child abuse existed. But as a college student he saw a commercial with a nursery rhyme playing in the background and a child crawling toward the camera. The only words were “Who would hurt a little child?” That was the moment when he knew what he wanted to do with his life, Wilson said. He said he had always wanted “to do something relevant” and planned to be a teacher. His introduction to what some children must endure came when he was student teaching at an inner city school where he said he was first “confronted with violence and abuse.” But when he saw that commercial as a college senior he went straight to the library on campus to find out who was trying to stop the abuse. That began Charles Wilson and Donna Pence a learning curve that now has him leading the Chadwick Center for Children & vocacy Center in Huntsville, Ala., where Families at Rady Children’s Hospital and he went after leaving the state post.

Courtesy photo still a tiny percentage of all the cases compared to abuse by people known to the child. “People don’t want to hear about it, but it happens in … every geographic and [demographic] setting,” he said. “One way to talk to the public is not to scare them but to talk about the insidious effects.” While he said professionals try not to over-sensationalize the topic, “the bruises and lacerations heal … but the emotional – and maybe the metabolic – effects are lasting.” Wilson prides himself on the center’s efforts to reduce those effects through an evidence-based approach which utilizes individualized assessments and protocols rather than a more generic approach. It puts a strong emphasis on trauma and how it informs each case. The center does really good work,” he said. That includes interviewing children brought to them by Law Enforcement or Child Protective Services who may have been abused or witnessed a crime. The staff includes board certified child abuse pediatricians who are experts in knowing “what’s abuse and what’s not,” as well as professionals and paraprofessionals trained in trauma See CHILDREN, Page B22

Del Mar resident thriving as an independent filmmaker Fourth film focuses on global humanity, individual’s impact
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KAREN BILLING In the second draft of Sue Vicory’s life, she decided to become a documentary filmmaker so that she could make films that inspire. Vicory, a Del Mar resident, is now working on her fourth documentary film. She has told stories about homelessness, the history of jazz and blues in Kansas City, and her family business. Currently, she is trying to wrap her arms around the topic of “global humanity and our individual significance and impact within it” with her ambitious new project “One.” “I’m just a girl with a camera and I just stepped into this life I created for myself,” Victory said. “Everything I’ve done is such a privilege. I can’t believe it’s my life, it’s so amazing. I don’t know how else I would want to spend my time.” Vicory moved to Del Mar from Kansas City a little over a year ago when her scientist husband had the opportunity to move to San Diego with a promotion. She said she had always felt
a tug from the ocean and has found her perfect fit here, with a view of Torrey Pines State Beach out of her window. Vicory started on her filmmaking journey 10 years ago after her youngest of two daughters went away to college. She had worked at her family’s business for 20 years and was asking herself what the second half of her life was going to be like. The idea of being a documentary filmmaker came to her and within 30 minutes she went online and signed up for film class in New York in the fall of that year. She started to doubt her decision as fall inched closer but was encouraged by her older daughter to just go for it. “I went to school and became hooked on the process,” Vicory said. “I wanted to be an editor so I went to Washington, D.C. for editing school and set up an editing studio in my home.” In a matter of nine months she had changed

her entire life path; now she just needed to start making films. Her first film was a short 10-minute film called “Homelessness and The Power of One.” The three-year project took her to 15 different cities for documentary interviews.
She released the film right after Hurricane Katrina in 2005 and the film was able to raise $30,000 for local shelters. As an additional result of her first film, she started the Power of One Project, where she worked with nine inner city schools in Kansas City, taking on community service projects.
In Kansas City, there is a big jazz and blues heritage so for her next project, she spent five years created a feature-length documentary “Kansas City Jazz and Blues: Past, Present & Future.” “The learning curve was extreme,” said Vicory of her first full-length feature film in which she went through an extensive, exhaustive post-production process with the more-than 150 hours of footage. She completed the film in 2011 and it aired on PBS in June of that year and again in January of 2012. “That film has certainly exceeded my expectations,” Victory said. Her third film “1898: The W.F. Norman story” she did on her family’s hand pressed tin ceiling business, which is 115 years old. She still works as the company’s CFO. The idea for her latest film came out of her first project. While working on “Homelessness and the Power of One,” she had a chance to interview a 60-year-old formerly homeless man named Eugene in Harlem, New York. Eugene said his
life was changed when an “angel” came to him as he lived on the streets and asked, “Is this all you want with your life?” The angel was a 75-year-old woman named Beth Reed who Vicory got the chance to meet and who became the centerpiece of her film. “That was a lightbulb moment, how significant we are and how powerful we can be if we’re intentional about it in our lives,” Vicory said. “If you’re intentional about how your life goes, imagine the number of people you can inspire or lift up and then the trickle effect… you can’t even quantify.” So far with “One,” she has completed 12 interviews in Kansas City and one locally in San Diego. She is still looking for local subjects who would like to participate. With the film, Vicory is trying to get a broad brush of humanity — a homeless man and a CEO, a Republican and a Democrat, people from different religious backgrounds and different ages. She would like for the See FILMMAKER, page B22

It’s The Patio on Lamont Street when you’ve got a taste for something special BY KELLEY CARLSON aturally, there are patios on Lamont Street in Pacific Beach. But then there is The Patio. Located between two of the area’s busiest thoroughfares — Garnet and Grand avenues — the restaurant is unexpectedly found on the corner of a predominantly residential street. This casual neighborhood eatery is where urban chic meets the beach, shorts and flip-flops are as acceptable as formal gowns and heels, and age knows no boundaries. “We want people to feel like they’re in their own home,” owner Gina ChampionCain said. Indeed, many guests find that it’s a cozy place to unwind. The walled outdoor patio provides protection from the street, yet patrons can still observe beach city life through the large windows that allow for ocean breezes. During the day, many find that it’s an ideal place to bask in the sun with umbrellas and heaters to help with comfort levels. Dogs curl up next to their owners and thump their tails while feasting on 100-percent natural dog biscuits made from pork and lamb drippings. At night, the atmosphere becomes vibrant, as guests wine and dine underneath the stars. Beginning at 6 p.m. Sundays, there’s live music from artists who perform in various styles. “It’s a happening place,” Champion-Cain said. Much of the socialization takes place in the inside/outside bar. Beverages of choice include “cool cocktails” such as the Mr. Chow, which mixes gin, Ty Ku, cucumber, lime and Sriracha chili sauce, and fresh “brunch imbibements” that include the Razz Champagne with an added touch of
The bar is a popular spot to socialize and sample the various small plates.

raspberry vodka. The energetic vibe is also present in “The Hub,” an indoor dining area that features eclectic and “green” decor. Surfboards from a local shop hang above a brick wall that incorporates material from the previous restaurant. And like most of the furniture in other areas of the establishment, The Hub’s booths and chairs are repurposed. But for a more subdued experience, restaurant-goers can head to “The Loft,” an elegant, earth-toned room with chandeliers and mirrors. Guests can dine and relax in quiet intimacy, yet still keep an eye on the lively patio below. Executive Chef John Medall presents a menu filled with worldly influences, including Mediterranean, Asian and French, for late morning through late evening. Brunch features dishes such as the Jack Daniels Dutch Pancakes, topped with caramelized bananas and apples, berry compote and Chantilly cream. Some of the light fare for lunch and dinner includes The Patio Salad, a colorful plate of strawberries,
chevré (goat’s milk cheese) and candied walnuts sprinkled over mixed baby greens that are lightly tossed with strawberry vinaigrette, all resting on house-made ciabatta; and Champion-Cain’s personal favorite, the Deconstructed Ahi Poke with wakame salad, cucumber salad, soy ginger sauce and avocado cream. Among The Patio’s popular flatbreads are the Beef and Bleu with sirloin, Gorgonzola, mushrooms and roasted garlic sauce. For a heavier entree, one of the go-tos is the Braised Pork Shank, stationed in a bed of bacon and asiago risotto, and accented with cracklins and roasted shishito peppers. Among the unique desserts is the Twisted Elvis, a “twist” on singer Elvis Presley’s favorite sandwich with banana bread, caramelized bananas, peanut butter and foster’s sauce. Also, guests who want to bring in their own bottle of wine may wish to take advantage of the no-corkage fee on Tuesdays. Even if there is little parking to be found on the street, valet service is available for $3 after 5 p.m. daily.

Del Mar Art Center to hold reception honoring Torrey Pines HS art students Are artists born or made? Come and witness young art genius in the making at the Del Mar Art Center’s reception on Feb. 24 from 3-5 p.m. The Del Mar Art Center will be honoring several Torrey Pines High School art students with an exhibition of their work, which will be on view from Feb. 15 - March 2. One talented student will be awarded a $1,000 scholarship to help with their ongoing art education. If artists are made, certainly it is through the influence of a master teacher. This exhibition proves to be very exciting because the students’ teacher, Julie Limerick, is a unique educator. Not only does she teach art and creates custom jewelry, she also is a “Visual Arts Examiner” for the International Baccalaureate Organization. As such she travels throughout California and reviews and assesses students’ portfolios. She works very closely with the students to mold them into the artists of tomorrow.

Canyon Crest Academy’s harpist is California’s first stringer BY GLENN BOROK Julia Schorn, a senior at Canyon Crest Academy, began her musical career at a young age when she took up the piano. However, after six years of training, the instrument and she “just weren’t clicking” and that’s when she decided to make a change. She remembered that her grandfather had always wanted one of his daughters to be a harpist, and Julia wanted to fulfill his wishes. Julia then broached the idea with her parents, but, according to her, they were very reluctant at first, wanting her to play a “normal” instrument like the violin. But, like in her many other activities, she persisted in her quest to play the harp, and eventually started lessons with her current harp teacher, Sheila Sterling. A few months later, Julia’s parents bought her a concert grand pedal harp so she could play with an orchestra. After that monumental decision, Julia and her parents never looked back. Starting off slowly, she gradually eased into harder songs and became one of the most accomplished teenage harpists in the United States. Selfdescribed as inquisitive and committed, Julia soon became very involved, practicing around five hours a day in the summer and two or more hours during the
school year. All that practice has paid off, as she is currently the Principal Harpist for the San Diego Youth Symphony and Conservatory, as well as a member of the CCA Instrumental Music Conservatory. She has only one regret about her arduous journey to the top of the harp field. “I would just start earlier,” she said. “I went to a camp in Switzerland for harp and they were all incredibly amazing [because] they had been playing since they were very young.” She maintains that the only negative aspects of playing the harp are tuning it and the transportation, as you can imagine with such a large instrument. However, those few negatives are negated by the positives, which she states are “everything else.” Even though she has won numerous awards as a harpist, the modest Julia states, “I’m not that good, I still have a long way to go.” Julia doesn’t believe she has accomplished her goals, but thinks she has far exceeded her expectations and couldn’t have imagined all the amazing opportunities she has been afforded when she began over six years ago. She has also parlayed her instrumental prowess into a club called “Music Moves,” which travels to senior living facilities and

plays music to those who don’t have a chance to go out and enjoy it. For young aspiring harpists who hope to be as successful as Julia, her advice is to stick with it and don’t give up despite the numerous hardships that may occur playing such a unique instrument. Julia has traveled to many places to help make her into the harpist she is, visiting Denton, Texas and New York City for harp

conferences. She even played in Times Square in front of hundreds of people after the planned Harp Flash Mob didn’t pan out as planned. One of Julia’s favorite harp experiences occurred when she visited the Eastman School of Music, in Rochester, New York, to study medieval music two summers ago, in hopes of playing in an ancient castle in her grandparents’ hometown of Siculiana, Italy. Last summer, Julia attended the official Eastman harp workshop, allowing her to meet harpists from around the United States and hone her craft. Although Julia was the one who has become the superstar harp player, she credits a large part of the journey to her family, which has helped her along the way. Whether it was her mother, helping her transport her harp, or her sister always being there for her, Julia says they were critical to her development as a harpist and as a person. She says her mother, sister, and grandfather were all role models for her, inspiring her to achieve greatness and follow in the successful family lineage. Looking anxiously towards the future, Julia has applied to a short list of colleges which include harp teachers that teach the French Method, a way of playing the instrument. She has already
been accepted Early Action to Princeton University, and is still waiting to hear from other top music schools. At college, Julia hopes to double major or minor in music, but plans to major in something else, which is still up for discussion, although she has had her eye on English, her favorite subject, or neuroscience. Julia knows she will continue to play the harp in a college orchestra, but still hasn’t decided how music will fit into her higher education. Apart from the harp, Julia spends her free time like most average teenagers do, watching television and movies, listening to music, and hanging out with friends. Her favorite TV shows include Elementary, Parks and Recreation, and Criminal Minds, while she loves listening to bands of Montreal, Led Zeppelin, and lots of classical music. Now, while Julia continues on her harp journey to college, no one, including herself, knows where this will take her, but if history is any indicator, she’ll be a star to watch for in the future no matter what she chooses to pursue. Glenn Borok is a senior at Canyon Crest Academy. He is co-editor in chief of Pulse Magazine, the official magazine of Canyon Crest Academy, and an intern at this newspaper.

Del Mar resident stars in ‘Chicago’ BY ROB LEDONNE “Chicago,� the world-famous Bob Fosse musical known for a long run on Broadway and a 2002 Oscarwinning film, is coming to San Diego’s Birch North Park theater Feb. 15 - March 3 thanks to the award-winning San Diego Musical Theatre Emma company, and all involved Radwick — from the production’s producers to actors — couldn’t be more excited. Emma Radwick, who plays the lead role of Roxie Hart, is a Del Mar-based actress who has roots in Australia. “My dad is English and my mom is Aussie. I was always involved in the arts, mainly because my dad has a really good appreciation for it,� she explained by phone in the midst of a hectic rehearsal schedule. “I first saw ‘Chicago’ about 12 years ago on the West End in London and fell in love. I always wanted to play this character.� Radwick moved to Del Mar from Australia with her husband, who happens to be a native of Michigan.�I met my husband while I was singing in a band in China. We fell in love and had an international relationship. When we first came to Del Mar, we were living temporarily with his brother. We love everything about the area; Del Mar is a great community.� When the opportunity arose to audition for the part of Roxie, Radwick jumped at the chance. “A lot of emotions are running through my mind; it’s a dream come true to be able to perform musical theater in my home city. My parents are flying in from Australia, so it’s definitely a big deal.� Ron Kellum, the director of “Chicago,� agrees with that sentiment and adds that the grueling rehearsal process is “going great! This cast is absolutely amazing and thrilling to watch. Audiences are in for a special treat; I’m honored to work with such a fantastic team on all fronts.� Kellum should know; so far he’s built up an impressive resume working on the Broadway productions and national tours of “Chicago,� as well as “Dreamgirls,� “Aida,� and “Beauty and the Beast,� and directed productions of “A Chorus Line� and “The Color Purple.� In addition, he also choreographed a sequence in the smash hit 2010 film “Iron Man 2� with Robert Downey

SAMSON AND DELILAH
Jr. With all of his experience, Kellum has a lot of faith in his leading lady. “Emma is perfect as Roxie; she’s vulnerable, brave and you just can’t take your eyes off of her. I love finding new talent and watching them grow every single day.� Hiring seasoned pros like Radwick and Kellum is all part of the plan explains Rancho Santa Fe resident Erin Lewis, who with her husband Gary, is producing the show. “We are very proud of our productions; audiences should expect a professional, quality production in a beautiful theatre at affordable prices,� says Erin. “We hire the best talent possible, from local talent to some who have been on Broadway.� Another special aspect of “Chicago� and San Diego Musical Theatre is that “we are an all volunteer organization, there are no executive or staff salaries,� Erin said. “Since ticket sales alone only cover 50 percent to 60 percent of production costs, we are always looking for people who love musical theatre as much as we do and who would like to support the arts by donating to help us offset costs.� Overall the cast and crew of “Chicago� will be ready when the curtains open on Feb. 15 for a preview show, and Feb. 16 for the official premiere. Summed up Radwick: “I’ll have a lot of adrenaline, but I’m definitely nervous. I think it’s nervous excitement.� For more information on the SDMT’s production of “Chicago,� a full schedule, and to purchase tickets, visit: http://www.sdmt. org/, like them on Facebook by searching for San Diego Musical Theatre, or follow them on Twitter: @sdmtmusicals.

Del Mar TV producer releases documentary stories edited by Madison High School students Del Mar TV Community TV Producer Stephanie Sullivan has released three documentary films on Del Mar TV (The Del Mar Television Foundation), a nonprofit organization, edited by five Madison High School students. Sullivan has been in the process of starting up her own nonprofit organization, “Pay It Forward Media� (PIFM), for the past three years. Sullivan explained that she has created an “AfterSchool Program� that will educate, mentor, guide and provide support for job opportunities and internships to underserved, at-risk and special needs youth in a full range of media platforms with practical applications to the real world. The program also assists the community by providing media support to the nonprofit organizations to help them prosper. In January 2012, Sullivan contacted Mike Reynolds, Madison High School broadcast journalism/media arts teacher, at the recommendation of her Operational Director and PIFM Director of Feature Films, Trailers and Commercials, Kayla Warren, who is a full-time
The Princess Project: Co-Producers Stephanie Sullivan (right) and Brianna Sardina (left) with Princess Project San Diego Chair Jennifer Gaston (middle). media arts/video production teacher at Creative Performing Media Arts Middle School. With the help of Richard Nash, principal, and Reynolds, Sullivan ended up leading an internship program through CCTE (College, Career, Technical Education) at Madison High School. This took place with two senior students from February through June in the editing bay in the computer lab next to their state-of-the-art broadcasting studio. Last June through August, Sullivan also volunteered her time to help the interns/students learn how to put together five documentary films and Briana Sardina ended up co-producing two of the shows, The Princess Project and Walk for Lupus Now 2012. A team of five Madison High School students/interns worked together under Sullivan’s direction and edited the shows. They were: Nick Tabor, junior, who is very technically knowledgeable and experienced in editing, and is trained to fully operate the broadcasting studio; Kenny Talliac,
sophomore, and graduated seniors: Briana Sardina, Ivan Rojas and Ryan Ouzts. PIFM team members Kayla Warren, Jeremy York, Elena Buenrostro and co-founder of PIFM Dillan Stockham were also brought in to assist her with final editing and preparing the documentaries for airing. Lorrie Jordan, broadcast journalism/video production teacher, and NBC NEWS 7/39 weather reporter, was also present at the internship to go over components included in the Madison High CCTE internship to assist these teenagers in obtaining internships and jobs. Sullivan wrote a recommendation letter for Ryan Ouzts who then obtained a job at KUSI News 9/51. Kenny Talliac, now a junior, is currently assisting Sullivan by editing and videotaping events and is being trained by Kayla Warren to become a mentor/trainer for PIFM.

Oregon Grape The scientific name of this North American botanical is Berberis aquafolium or Mahonia aquafolium. It is not a true grape, however, but an evergreen.

preparation of the flowers of this native plant is used by holistic practitioners very differently. It helps balance subjective aspects of our experience and can assist in developing a positive personal perspective of others. It is believed that the spirit of this flower can be used to break learned patterns of distrust, so that we are able to trust in the goodness of others. It especially indicated for the tension which predominates in many urban environments or in situations where individuals perceive the world as unfair. Its positive qualities are intended to generate good will. • Nutritional Supplements and Medical Grade Herbs • Homeopathic Remedies • Highest Quality Vitamins and Minerals • Large Selection of Flower Essences • Aura Soma Color Therapy

Have Lincoln meet Oscar at your Academy Awards After Party! The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN If Abraham Lincoln were alive today, he’d have a lot to celebrate this month. He would’ve turned 204 on Feb. 12, and the Spielberg movie that bears his name leads the field in 2013 Oscar nominations at one dozen. Here’s a primer to help you produce a fun and funky Oscar party with a little vera similitude to pay homage to our 16th President. Honest Abe’s Faves A Kentucky farm boy growing up on the frontier, Lincoln’s meals were simple and agrarian, and his gustatory tastes evolved from his Spartan beginnings. As a
boy he graciously accepted any food he was given, including the staple corndodgers, (coarse cornmeal cakes), mush, eggs and wild game. He cottoned for bacon, New Salem fruit pies (especially apple) and gooseberry cobblers. He particularly adored honey and gingerbread. In the White House, Honest Abe got his morning jolt with a strong cup of coffee, and later fueled his furnace with a single poached egg or snacked on nuts, cheeses, crackers, apples and grapes. For dinner, his foods of choice were chicken fricassee and oysters in any form — from fritters to stew. Of course, that was in the days before these bivalves were laced with mercury and other toxins. For your Oscar party: Serve bacon-wrapped oysters (better yet, deep-sea scallops), mini bacon quiches, assorted cheeses and fruit platters of Abe’s faves, honey-roasted nuts, and a hearty chicken fricassee with a side of homemade cornbread. And for some just desserts, a riff on gingerbread men wearing stovepipe hats, mini apple
and berry cobblers, and assorted frappuccinos and flavored coffees. Mary Todd-Style Although Lincoln’s wife was also a native of Kentucky she had refined (and expensive) tastes as she was raised in the bluegrass part of the state with a tradition of lavish foods and gracious hospitality. In walks aspic of tongue, pate de foie gras, turkey stuffed with truffles, lobster salad, and venison, pheasant and canvasback duck at the White House dinner table and State balls. A sugar and strawberryphile, Mary gave numerous strawberry socials, serving berries with ice cream and assorted elaborate cakes, including her Burnt Sugar Courting Cake. For your Oscar party: Do a spicy seafood cocktail with a blend of wild-caught shrimp, deep-sea scallops and chunks of lobster, a caviar bar with the black beads displayed on a platter in the shape of a stovepipe hat, and for a sugarfix, strawberry shortcake cups. Ban the Booze Lincoln was a tee- (and

we know is best and do it every day,” he said. Acknowledging that he loses sleep over the challenges of funding and staffing, Wilson does have outlets that enable him to relax. One of them is surfing at Swami’s. He learned how to surf growing up in Florida and discovered the famed Encinitas break about 10 years ago. But he admits he doesn’t get out as often as he should. In his spare time – much spent in airports while traveling – he’s also written a book. Although he has yet to market the 80,000-word crime novel, he talks readily about its plot. He said it puts the reader immediately into a Civil War battle, which turns out to be a reenactment. When one person is shot – for real – the plot, as they say, thickens. One character, an investigator, “is loosely based on my wife” who was the lead child abuse investigator for the Tennessee Bureau of Investigations and the setting includes an old country home not unlike the country house built in 1844 where they lived in Tennessee. That house is also the scene of one of his favorite memories of their youngest daughter Lauren. Before they moved west, she attended a small country school with what Wilson described as “an old-school teacher.” One evening after she first started there, they were sitting around the dining room table reviewing the discipline rules for the new school. “It said if you misbehave, you can be put in a corner,” Wilson recalled. “If you continue to misbehave, you will be sent to the office, and if you continue to misbehave the principal can paddle you.” Lauren looked confused and didn’t understand. “She said, ‘You mean they hit kids?’” Wilson said, “I wish every kid would find that concept confusing.” For more information, visit www.ChadwickCenter.
