Del Mar education foundation seeks extension to hit fundraising target By Karen Billing Del Mar Schools Education Foundation (DMSEF) President Drew Isaacman requested an extension on the Extended Studies Curriculum fundraising deadline at the April 23 Del Mar Union School District board meeting. The fundraising deadline was set for April 30, but Isaacman requested a two-week extension

as DMSEF’s current contribution level is at $925,000 and DMSEF is aiming to raise $1.5 million to replicate the programs DMSEF has this year in science, art, music, technology and PE. Jason Romero, district assistant superintendent of human resources, said that timeline will be sufficient for the staffing decisions the district has to make in

May. The parent participation rate this year is at 49 percent, Isaacman said. “We are going to work very hard in the next few weeks to get it done,” Isaacman said. “The ESC program has never been stronger and I think parents want to keep it as strong as it was before.”

By Karen Billing The Del Mar Union School District and the Del Mar California Teaches Association (DMCTA) were able to reach a tentative collective bargaining agreement, which maintains all that is in the current memorandum of understanding (MOU) that was agreed to last year. The agreement also includes a 2 percent increase to the salary schedule and was approved by the board at its April 23 meeting. In April 2013, the teachers reached the one-year MOU that resulted in $1 million in budget solutions that included increasing class sizes from 20:1 to 22:1 in grades kindergarten through third, with the flexibility to go up to the state’s maximum of 24 in K-3 and 29 in grades 4-6. The tentative agreement identifies class sizes of 22 in kindergarten through third grade and 27 in fourth through sixth grades, which saves the district almost $1 million. It also eliminates compensatory days, conference days and stipends for oversize classes. “The district is committed to low class sizes of 22 and 27 but needed to maintain a class size of 22 in K-3 to continue to realize the $1 million annual savings,” said district superintendent Holly McClurg. “We have very few classes this year over 22 and only one class at 29 students, and we have no intention of increasing class sizes beyond what we have done this year with the MOU.” As reported at the March board meeting, since the MOU was approved last year, 108 kindergarten through third grade classes in the district remained at 17-22 students a class, with eight at 23 students and one class with 24 students. At the fourth through sixth grade level, there are 56 classes at 19-27 stuSee TEACHER, Page AA2

By Kristina Houck Although neighboring residents packed City Hall to halt the proposal of an affordable housing project, the Solana Beach City Council on April 23 unanimously approved the development and a more than $2 million loan for the developer. Called “The Pearl,” the-three story building will feature three one-, two- and three-bedroom units ranging from 505 to 1,032 square feet, one 1,383-square-foot four-bedroom unit and 795 square feet of commercial office space. In addition to the 10 apartments and office space, the project will provide 53 parking spaces in structured parking, replacing the existing 31 spaces and adding 22 residential and commercial spaces. “I really think that this is a good project,” said Deputy Mayor Lesa Heebner. “I feel that we need affordable housing, not just because of the laws, but because it is the right thing to do.” The 10-unit project will not only help the city satisfy a state requirement, but make good on a legal settlement. All cities are required to provide affordable housing, but Solana Beach has been subject to lawsuits since the 1990s after the council took action that closed a mobile home park. Rather than go to trial, the city entered into what became known as the Perl settlement, which mandated the replacement of 13 affordable units. So far, only three units have been built. Prior to the council’s vote, many neighboring residents argued against the project during the meeting. Some spoke in favor of affordable housing but argued the development is not suitable for the specific property. Other feared the project would increase crime and traffic while decreasing property values. See HOUSING, Page AA2

DM Highlands Town Center to add parking structure, expand Cinepolis • Barnes & Noble set to close in July, when lease expires By Kristina Houck and Karen Billing To improve parking at Del Mar Highlands Town Center, a new parking structure is set to open by late 2015. Plans for the construction of the structure, as well as plans to expand Cinepolis Luxury Cinemas and renovate the south side of the shopping center, were unveiled during the April 24 Carmel Valley Community Planning Board meeting. All but one of the center’s businesses will remain open during construction, which is set to begin in the fall. Most of the businesses impacted by construction will be moved to temporary locations, but Barnes & Noble will close its doors when the store’s lease expires in July, according to Elizabeth Schreiber, vice president and general manager for Donahue Schriber, owner and operator of Del Mar

Highlands Town Center. “We would love to have them come back when we finish this work,” said Schreiber, who noted the center doesn’t have another space to temporarily relocate the 11,000-square-foot store. “Who knows what the book business will be like by that time, but we’d love to have Barnes & Noble or any bookstore come back to the shopping center.” “The community will be very sorry to see Barnes & Noble go,” said board member Laura Copic. Parking has been a problem at the center since it underwent a $20 million overhaul in 2010 and 2011. The center’s “re-imagining” brought in several new restaurants and stores,

housing project opened nearby. “They were given the same promises that we’ve been given here tonight — the same story — and their lives were significantly changed,” she said. “If this project is allowed to be built, we may be looking at a very serious security problem.” Some opponents argued the council’s decision should have been delayed or the project should have been denied, claiming residents didn’t receive proper notice of the meeting. Several speakers also pointed out that the city denied applications for view assessments from the Seascape Sur Homeowner Association and Sand Pebbles Resort. “The bias against the neighborhood is strong,” said Seascape Sur resident Bill Gifford, who serves as president of the Seascape Sur Homeowner Association. The city is required to publish the staff report at least 72 hours prior to a public meeting. City Attorney Johanna Canlas and City Manager David Ott noted city staff hand delivered copies of

HOUSING continued from page 1 Most of the speakers lived in Seascape Sur, a residential community located across from the project site at 555 South Sierra Ave. The manager and assistant manager of Sand Pebbles Resort, a timeshare complex located adjacent to the site on Highway 101, also spoke in opposition of the project. “There is only one place this beautiful project fits, and that’s on a projector screen,” said Seascape Sur resident Martin Schmidt, who has lived on South Sierra Avenue for 20 years. “It’s painfully clear to everyone that lives in the neighborhood that it just doesn’t fit. “When you take this project off the screen and you put it on this small parking lot, what you have is a project that is simply bursting at the seams. It is bursting at the seams on a street that is bursting at the seams now.” Concerned about the possibility of increased crime, Seascape Sur resident Sharon Frank noted that her parents’ Las Vegas home was burglarized a few years after an affordable

HIGHLANDS continued from page 1 a luxury movie theater and many more visitors, Schreiber said. “That renovation has been tremendously successful,” Schreiber said. “In many ways, we’re victims of our own success. All those restaurants, the theater, all our great retailers have been very well received. Therefore, now, we have a parking problem.” To improve parking, the center added 200 stalls and converted compact spaces to standard spaces. The center also implemented short-term parking, valet services, shuttle services, curbside pickup at restaurants and an employee parking program. “We did as many things as we could think of to implement right away,” Schreiber

the staff report to both the Seascape Sur Homeowner Association and Sand Pebbles Resort 10 days prior to the meeting — the same time the council received the report. Notices of the meeting were also published via the city’s website, email distribution list and social media pages. “Obviously, the notices worked,” Canlas said. “You received lots of correspondence. You have a room full of people that heard about the project. The process is working; they’re here to be heard.” She also explained that a homeowner association, which is a corporation, cannot file for a view assessment. A timeshare, which is defined as commercial use under the city’s zoning ordinance, also cannot file for a view assessment. “Our own ordinance specifies who can actually apply,” Canlas said. “While everybody has focused on the definition of a person, I think the whole language needs to be read. In this particular case, only a person who owns or is in possession of a residence in which a view may be impaired by a proposed structure may file for view

said. “Although I think those ideas have helped, they’re not the ultimate solution. The ultimate solution is to build a parking structure.” The three-level parking structure will be constructed behind the center on Townsgate Drive. Because of the elevation between the center and the street, the third level of the structure will be at grade, Schreiber said. The parking structure will feature 600 parking stalls, which will bring the center’s total number of parking spaces to 2,200. The structure will have four entrances, including one in between Urban Plates that will be accessible from the front of the center. It will also feature trellises, landscaping, benches and three towers with elevators and staircases. “We’re going to make every effort to architecturally

assessment.” A few supporters spoke in favor of the project and particularly the need of affordable housing in Solana Beach. “I know it’s difficult to listen to residents of your community who are very concerned and genuinely so about the impacts of this project — on the site and off the site, now in the short-term during construction and perhaps in the long-term,” said Catherine Rodman, a San Diegobased attorney for Affordable Housing Advocates. “But you just don’t represent the vocal minority that are here tonight or that have appeared by letters to you. As elected officials, you represent the entire community, including my clients and other lowincome households that struggle to live in this paradise that is Solana Beach and have a right to be here just as much as anyone.” Hitzke Development Corporation originally submitted its proposal for an affordable housing project to the city in 2009. In July 2010, the city entered into an exclusive negotiation agreement with the company. In January

make this very appealing,” Schreiber said. During construction, the center will expand the current eight-plex Cinepolis, adding three screens and 10,000 square feet of space. (Cinepolis is the number one performing eight-plex movie theater in the country, according to Schreiber.) The center will also build a new facility for KinderCare adjacent to the parking structure. KinderCare will remain at its existing 20-yearold site until construction of the new location is complete. Del Mar Highlands Town Center was entitled to 425,000 square feet of retail space in the late 1980s, but only 283,000 square feet has been developed on the space, Schreiber explained during the meeting. With this next phase of renovations, Donahue Schriber plans to renovate the south

2011, the council approved a $648,000 loan to help defray the estimated $1.1 million in predevelopment costs, including architectural, planning and engineering studies, designs, utility analyses, and legal and application fees. The applicant redesigned the project twice after holding meetings with city staff and hosting three public workshops. The state dissolved redevelopment agencies in 2012, delaying the project. The council elected to become the successor agency and, since then, the state’s Finance Department approved the transfer of the predevelopment loan funds to the city. The Pearl is estimated to cost more than $6 million. With the council’s vote, the city will loan the developer more than $2 million for the project, which includes $648,000 in redevelopment funds and more than $1.4 million in general funds to be used for housing. The loan must be paid in 55 years with 3 percent interest when the longterm lease expires. Initially, the council on April 23 discussed con-

side of the shopping center. If approved by the city, the company plans to construct a twostory building throughout 2016 and 2017, adding 80,000 square feet of new retail space. In addition, the old KinderCare site could become an expanded Jimbo’s. If those plans move forward, the current 14,000-square-foot store would gain 8,000 square feet of space, Schreiber said. After the updates, the center will still have 62,000 square feet of entitlements, Schreiber said. Donahue Schriber recently launched an online survey to gather feedback about the services and retailers community members want added to Del Mar Highlands Town Center. To participate in the survey, visit www.surveymonkey. com/s/DMHTCSurvey. The survey will be online through the end of May.

tinuing the pubic hearing so the developer could explore occupancy sensors and other ways to improve parking in the structure. The council also briefly discussed the possibility of eliminating the office space by purchasing additional parking spaces. “Please think about housing people more than housing cars,” said Ginger Hitzke, president of San Marcos-based Hitzke Development Corporation. “What’s the cost of doing something right?” asked Nichols. “The office isn’t housing people. If we take the office out, we’re not taking away anybody’s house.” Ultimately, council members agreed the project should move forward. “We really, really try to do what’s right and we try to do what’s best for the city of Solana Beach,” said Mayor Thomas Campbell. “We really have to do what we think is best for the city as a whole. I don’t think having affordable housing on that street provides a burden to the residents that live across the street. We have affordable housing integrated throughout Solana Beach.”

TEACHER continued from page 1 dents, 17 at 28:1 and one class with 29 students. Gina Vargus, co-president of the DMCTA, said they are thrilled that the tentative agreement was reached and that the majority of teachers supported it. At the meeting, the board approved the $632,362 increase in costs associated with the collective bargaining agreement — they are required by Assembly Bill 1200 to bring any changes to the budget before the board for approval The total reflects an increase of $436,000 to certificated salaries; a $124,800 increase to classified salaries; and a $71,962 increase to labor cost. Parent Jen Charat expressed her support for the agreement, noting she believes it’s the right thing to do for teachers, students and the district as a whole. “I think other parents support it,” said Charat, who was the only speaker on the item.

2014 Boston Marathon an inspirational experience local runners will never forget

Jessica Sebor, left, with a friend at the Boston Deanna Lyle Marathon. of Carlsbad, who trains with Hubbard and completed his 12th Boston Marathon and his wife, Laurie, her completed her 18th Boston Marathon. “I listened. I heard all the sounds that should be heard after the race. I heard no sirens. It was just about the most beautiful sound I’ve ever heard.” Carmel Valley’s Deanna Lyle, 47, was also kept from finishing last year — as she was making the final turn on Boylston Street, .3 miles from the finish she saw police officers running at her telling her she needed to stop. “I heard the bombs go off but didn’t know what they were,” Lyle said. “It was really crazy with people running and screaming to get out of the area.” It was really important for Lyle to come back this year and finish the event that she wasn’t able to last year. Her co-worker at the Rush Studio in Carmel Valley, Sheri Matthews had already qualified for 2014 and Lyle was determined to get there too, holding a charity spin class to benefit the Boston Fund for Challenged Athletes Foundation, helping to purchase a running leg for a bombing victim. Both crossed the finish line last week, pushed by the spirit and support of the crowd. “This was my third time running the Boston Marathon and by far the best time ever,” said Lyle. “I was overcome with emotion when I crossed the finish line this year.” ***** Last year Jessica Sebor had finished her first Boston Marathon and was recovering in her hotel room when the blast occurred. “I remember hearing a loud sound but I assumed it was nothing serious, scaffolding falling perhaps,” Sebor said. “When I heard what happened I immediately tried to locate my friends and colleagues who were running and watching. The hotels went on lockdown, cell phones didn’t work and everyone was in shock as we tried to piece

together what had happened.” Sebor, who is the editor-in-chief of Women’s Running Magazine, re-qualified for the race at Boston and hadn’t planned on returning but after the tragedy she knew she had to go back to support the sport and the city she loves. She was glad that she did — it was an emotional experience that she said she is still trying to fully grasp. “There were easily twice the spectators as normal and the crowds cheered like it was their job,” Sebor said. The city came alive again — little girls handed out blue and yellow friendship bracelets, frat guys passed out beers, and families with homes on the course offered water and orange slices. “This race wasn’t just about the runners, it was a true community effort, a show of strength,” Sebor said. “My friend, who was near the finish line last year, said the crowds were so loud she was sure her ears hadn’t rang in the same way since she heard the explosions in 2013. I think that’s a really beautiful parallel to show how the city of runners fought back.” ***** Carmel Valley’s Randy Rechs, 45, completed his fourth Boston Marathon this year as part of Team Hoyt, the father-son team of Dick and Rick Hoyt. Since 1977, Dick has pushed his son, Rick, who has cerebral palsy, in a wheelchair through 1,100 athletic events and more than 30 Boston Marathons. Last year was supposed to be Dick’s last Boston Marathon, as he neared age 74 and Rick was age 52, but they never got the chance to finish due to the bombings. Rechs had traveled to Boston last year to support his team but was unable to run the race due to an injury. Fifteen minutes before his plane landed in San Diego, the bombs went off and he watched the reports on CNN on See MARATHON, page A15

By Karen Billing A total of 40 local athletes from Carmel Valley, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe and Solana Beach competed in this year’s Boston Marathon, by all accounts a magical, inspirational race where Boston came roaring back stronger than ever after last year’s bombing in which three people were killed, hundreds injured and 16 people lost limbs. For the first time since 1983 an American man won the race and he just happened to be San Diego’s own Meb Keflezighi. The fastest local male finisher was 33-year-old Todd Brehm of Del Mar who raced his first Boston in 2:55:33. The fastest local female was just a hair off Brehm’s time —Carmel Valley’s Angela Moll, 37, finished in 2:55:44 and cracked the top 100 finishers in her gender and division. Moll was the 76th in her age division and 90th in her gender. The youngest participants were 29-year-old Del Mar resident Jessica Sebor who finished in 3:18:13 and 29-yearold Rory Golden of Carmel Valley, who got in under-three hours with a time of 2:57:08. Bob Hubbard of Solana Beach was the oldest local participant. At age 71, he completed his 10th Boston Marathon and of the 31,805 people who finished the marathon this year, Hubbard was one of only 298 participants that were over the age of 70. Last year Hubbard was at mile 23 when he was halted on the course due to the bombings. His most immediate concern was the safety of his wife, Marilee, who had been waiting for him near the finish. “The biggest problem and source of anxiety was the inability to communicate to verify each other’s safety,” Hubbard said. Hubbard is also a triathlete and he likes to use Boston as a way to begin preparing for the competitive triathlon season (he will compete in the World Duathlon Championships in Spain on June 1). It has become tradition for him to participate. “Every year is different at Boston and there is always the unexpected. I have run in perfect as well as extreme weather conditions, including heat waves of 95 degrees and heavy rain storms,” Hubbard said. Last year’s challenge was unexpected for all involved. To find his wife, Hubbard had to parallel the course working back to the finish area to a restaurant where he had planned to meet up with Marilee and others for a post-race celebration. By the time he eventually reached her, he had covered about 30 miles that day. “A few members of our group who were near the explosion received some minor scratches but nothing serious.” Hubbard said. “All have experiences that they will not soon forget.” “I will never forget walking back to my hotel immediately after finishing the race this year,” said Craig Zelent

Del Mar Union School District to look for new Carmel Valley Planning Board hears plans for director of maintenance and operations El Camino Real and SR-56 bike path connector By Karen Billing Del Mar Union School District will begin the process of hiring a new director of maintenance and operations as Randy Wheaton is retiring at the end of May after 17and-a-half years with the district. As it looks to hire a replacement, the Del Mar school board approved a new title and changes to the job description for the position. The new position will be a director of maintenance, operations and facilities. Jason Romero, assistant superintendent of human resources, said the new job description takes into consideration more of the facilities needs the district has, as well as Proposition 39, the clean energy jobs act that passed in November 2012, which provides money to schools for energy-efficient projects and job creation. “There will be an extensive search,” Romero said, noting they hope to interview candidates in May and have a person in place by mid-June.

Ramp meters to begin in May on SR-56 in Carmel Valley New ramp meters for SR-56 will be put into action in the next two weeks as Caltrans recently completed its ramp meter installation project on every eastbound and westbound on-ramp on SR-56 between Interstate 5 and Interstate 15. Caltrans’ goal with the meters is to increase the efficiency of the entire freeway corridor by shortening peak commute periods, increasing speeds and reducing collisions. The ramp meters on westbound Carmel Creek Road and Carmel Country Road will be activated on May 7. Eastbound meters on El Camino Real, Carmel Creek, Carmel Country and Carmel Valley Road ramps will begin on May 14. The westbound meters have a window operating time of 5:30-9:30 a.m. and the eastbound meters 3-7 p.m. Advanced warning signs will be posted at the ramps at least one week prior to activation. The meter’s green light will be illuminated 24 hours before activation. The meters will work in conjunction with the three existing meters on the route. Traffic engineers will monitor the traffic patterns for few a months and calibrate the meters as required. Once the meters have been re-calibrated, the activation will be dependent on traffic flow in the main lanes.

By Kristina Houck Cyclists may eventually have an easier way to access the bike path off state Route 56 from El Camino Real. Dean Marsden from the city of San Diego Public Works Department presented plans for a bike path connector during the Carmel Valley Planning Board meeting April 24. The project would connect the existing bike lane on El Camino Real to the bike path along SR-56. Currently, there is a dirt trail in the proposed project space. Funded by Carmel Valley Facilities Benefit Assessment fees, construction is estimated to cost $326,000 and would include the removal of existing sidewalk to install a new concrete driveway as well as the installation of a bike path access link. Non-invasive drought-tolerant plants

would also be planted along the newly graded slopes and the remains of the existing dirt path. “This should improve the whole area,” Marsden said. “Now you’ve got this eroded dirt bare trail. We’ll have this bike path with some slopes that will be revegetated.” Marsden said project staff hopes to obtain a site development permit in August. After the final design is completed and a construction contract is awarded, construction should begin in September 2015 and be completed by January 2016, he said. He encouraged community members with questions, comments or concerns about the project to contact Helene Deisher, the project manager, at 619-4465223.

Planning board approves landscaping project in Carmel Valley public right-of-ways By Kristina Houck Several sites throughout Carmel Valley will receive facelifts after the Carmel Valley Community Planning Board April 24 approved a project that will landscape public rightof-ways in the community. Funded by Carmel Valley Facilities Benefit Assessment fees, the $250,000 project will landscape five areas throughout the region, including on El Camino Real near the Arco gas station; Worsch Drive off Del Mar Trails; Carmel Knolls Drive near Azzuro Court; and two sites along state Route 56 near the Sea Breeze development.

Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguitoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s stolen van found in Del Mar

TPHS student earns prestigious World Food Prize International Internship Nearly 1 billion people go hungry every day. As the world faces a growing population, climate volatility and other global challenges, the next generation will be charged with continuing the battle against hunger and finding new solutions to feed the world. This summer, an unprecedented number of American high school students â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 23 students from 12 states â&#x20AC;&#x201D; have earned World Food Prize BorlaugRuan International Internships and will delve into issues relating to hunger and poverty throughout the world during eight-week, all-expenses-paid summer internships at leading research centers in Africa, Asia, Latin America and the Middle East. Eric Chen, a junior at Torrey Pines High School,

Eric Chen is one of the 23 students who has earned an internship and will travel to Brazil this summer to work at the Brazilian Agricultural Research Corporation (Embrapa) in Londrina. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It is our hope that by engaging these young people in actual hungerfighting research, they will be inspired to pursue academic and career paths in science, food, agricultural and natural resource disciplines, and thus prepared to become tomorrowâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s innovative scientific and humanitarian leaders,â&#x20AC;? said Ambassador Kenneth M.

Quinn, president of the World Food Prize. A prerequisite for the Borlaug-Ruan International Internship is attending the World Food Prize Global Youth Institute, which occurs each October and exposes students to opportunities associated with careers in agricultural, natural resource, life sciences and affiliated fields. Youth Institute participants present research papers and interact with World Food Prize Laureates and renowned experts to discuss issues relating to food security throughout the world.

By Joe Tash Valery Saifudinov clearly remembers his first exposure to rock and roll music. He was 10 years old and walking down the street in his native Riga, Latvia (then part of the former Soviet Union) when he heard “Rock Around the Clock,” by Bill Haley & His Comets blaring from a window. “I was standing there and I couldn’t move,” said Saifudinov. That was around 1960. Just a couple of years later, Saifudinov, now 63, and an Escondido resident, launched what one Russian rock critic has called the first Soviet-era rock band, The Revengers. Later this year, a documentary called “Free to Rock,” will be released, which tells the story of Saifudinov and his early efforts to play rock and roll music in spite of a government ban. The documentary — which Saifudinov conceived with Del Mar musician and venture capitalist Nick Binkley, founder of PSB Records, and a third friend, Doug Yeager — also makes the case that rock and roll helped end the Cold War and hasten the downfall of the Soviet Union. A clip from the film will be shown May 6 at a CD release party at the Belly Up Tavern in Solana Beach. The party will celebrate releases by Saifudinov’s band, Elektrik Tank, Binkley (100 Parts of Heart) and Mark Hart. The event begins at 8 p.m. (with doors opening at 7 p.m.). Rock and roll records could not be sold in stores or played on the radio in the Soviet Union of the early 1960s, but Saifudinov and other youth were able to trade for vinyl discs with sailors who visited Riga’s port. They also listened to pirate radio stations, Saifudinov said.

Nick Binkley and Valery Saifudinov at Saifudinov’s recording studio. Courtesy photo “The effective polity of the Ministry of Culture of the Soviet Union was no rock and roll,” said Binkley, 68, who co-produced the documentary along with the director, Jim Brown, who is based in New York. “They discovered that kids were learning English by listening to and playing rock and roll.” That was a problem, because Soviet officials wanted the entire Soviet Union to speak only Russian as the official language. Rock music also became a form of “soft power” in

subsequent decades, which helped change the hearts and minds of Soviet citizens, and erode the government’s control of the population, Binkley said. “We believe rock and roll infected the youth of the Soviet Union and it spread like a virus,” Binkley said. “There was no going back.” The two men spoke in the control room of Saifudinov’s Escondido recording studio, which he has run since the mid-90s. Although authorities tried to quash rock and roll music, enterprising youth used their ingenuity to circumvent the ban. Young people exchanged “bone records,” which were recordings made on used X-ray film that would only play four or five times before wearing out. They also made electric guitars using plywood, old acoustic guitar necks, and pickups made from parts purloined from public telephones. The practice was so widespread that in major cities such as Moscow and Leningrad (now St. Petersburg), it was difficult to find a working pay phone, Saifudinov said. Saifudinov said the band made a bass guitar using piano strings that were so rough, they caused the bass player’s finger tips to bleed, until he taped up his fingers. By the mid-1970s, Saifudinov had had enough of Soviet repression of his chosen art form, and he emigrated to the U.S. The documentary, which was originally called “Rockin’ the Kremlin,” features a number of prominent politicians and musicians from both the U.S. and former Soviet Union, including Mikhail Gorbachev and Jimmy Carter, Billy Joel, the Beach Boys’ Mike Love and Andrey Makarev-

Q&A: Writer’s Roundtable interview with NY Times bestselling author John Lescroart By Jared Kuritz and Antoinette Kuritz John Lescroart (pronounced “less-kwah”) is a big believer in hard work and single-minded dedication, although he’ll acknowledge that a little luck never hurts. A New York Times bestselling author whose books have been translated into 16 languages in more than 75 countries, Lescroart wrote his first novel in college and the second one a year after he graduated from Cal Berkeley in 1970. He didn’t even try to publish either of these

John Lescroart books until 14 years later, when finally, at his wife Lisa’s urging, he submitted

“Son of Holmes” to New York publishers — and got two offers, one in hardcover, within six weeks. Lescroart never looked back, and with 18 New York Times bestsellers to his credit, he continues to write novels with characters readers want to know more about and stories that compel readers to keep the pages turning. You can meet Lescroart and hear him talk about writing and his new novel, The Keeper, at Mysterious Galaxy Bookstore at noon on Saturday, May 10 (7051 Clairemont Mesa Blvd., Suite #302, San Diego, CA 92111; 858-268-4747). Lescroart recently took the time to chat about the art, craft, and business of writing. When did you know you wanted to be a writer, and then when did you actually start writing? I knew that I wanted to be a writer, in a general kid-like way, from about the 8th grade, when my teacher sent one of my homework assignments – “What Is Democracy?” – to the local newspaper and they published it. I thought it was one of the coolest things in the world. Shortly after that, I started a “newspaper” called “The Daily Blab,” chronicling the goings-on of my friends in high school. So I was writing pretty regularly just for fun all during high school. Then as a junior at Cal Berkeley, I wrote my first novel, and just after I graduated I wrote another one, a Sherlock Holmes pastiche that I called “Recipe for Murder,” but which Donald I. Fine published a mere 14 years later, when I was 36 years old, as “Son of Holmes.” Since then, I’ve been coming out with about a book a year. Thriller, suspense, mystery. People often confuse the three. In which genre would you place your books and why? Actually, these labels overlap tremendously. To me, they are mostly tools for publishers (and authors) to market books. In a general sense, I do think that suspense isn’t really its own

genre, since every book that makes you want to turn the page has an element of suspense. The main difference between thriller and mystery is that, while mysteries can be and often are thrilling, there doesn’t have to be a “who-dunnit” element to thrillers. How did you chose your genre – or did it chose you? I just kept trying new things until something paid off. My first novel was “literary.” Then I wrote the two “Holmes” books. Then I wrote two straightahead mysteries featuring Dismas Hardy. That’s five publications with total sales of about 95 or 100 books, which really didn’t pay the bills. Obviously, something had to change, and fortunately I had created Dismas Hardy as an ex-lawyer. So I brought him back to the law in a “legal thriller”/”courtroom drama” and the rest is history. So I’d have to say, my genre chose me, and I’m very glad that it did. I know you wrote second shift at the beginning of your career. How many published books did you have before you could write full time? Second shift? Try fourth shift? Even after I was publishing regularly, my daily workload included getting up at 6:30 a.m. and writing for two hours in my garage. (We had babies, and working in the house with Barney the Dinosaur on in the other room wasn’t very conducive to concentration.) Then I worked fulltime as a word processor in a law firm, after which I went around to the other law firms in downtown LA and did pick-up typing and word processing until 10:30 or 11 p.m. I only did that for six years, publishing my second through fourth books. Then, after an 11-day coma due to spinal meningitis, we moved to Northern California, and I wrote three more novels before I had a hit and was able to write full-time. So, short answer – seven books until overnight success. So often friends, fam-

ily, spouses of aspiring authors don’t take them seriously, considering writing a mere hobby. What is your response to that? My answer is that the proof is in the pudding. If you’re putting in the hours, doing the work, and producing product, you’re a writer. If you’re lucky and you start actually making money, the “hobby” moniker goes away pretty fast. But just for the record, people who belittle your passion aren’t adding much to the world, and you’re trying to. So what side of that equation would you rather find yourself on? Hardy and Glitsky appear in so many of your books. How real have they become to you? What do you think makes them such a good pairing? These guys couldn’t be any more real. They’ve got their own lives and their lives vis-a-vis each other. I think they’re such a good pairing because a) they’re funny with each other; b) they care, basically, about the same things; c) they have a long history with both of their families; and, d) in many ways, they couldn’t be more different: Glitsky doesn’t drink, he doesn’t swear, he plays by the book, whereas Hardy drinks, is irreverent to the max, and is very much a loose cannon. These guys shouldn’t get along at all, and yet they’re the best of friends, and that makes, I think, for fun reading. Many of your books have at their core a timely, newsworthy, relevant premise. What is at the at the core of your newest book, “The Keeper?” Without giving away too much of the plot, let’s just say that San Francisco has had some very interesting recent history surrounding the office of the Sheriff and the running of the jail. That history figures prominently in “The Keeper.” What person, event, or writer has most influenced you as a writer? Most? That’s one of the major questions. Persons include my father and my wife Lisa Sawyer.

Events? Not so much. Influential writers: Conan Doyle, John D. MacDonald, Hemingway, Elmore Leonard, and Lawrence Durrell. You have 18 NY Times bestselling books to your credit. How does being a bestselling author inform your writing process? It’s a responsibility, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. There’s an expectation that you’re going to come out with a “big” story that will be widely read and, hopefully, enjoyed. I think it’s important to respect that expectation. Over the years you have seen the publishing industry evolve dramatically. What has stayed the same? Ironically, in my own career, the basic ebb and flow of producing books has remained remarkably the same. I’ve been extremely fortunate to be under contract for the past 16 or 17 years, and I hand in an outline in September, write the book through the winter, hand it in come June or July, promote last year’s book and the paperback of the two-years-ago book, and then hand in the next outline the next September. With all the upheaval in the industry, producing the next actual book remains pretty much a constant. What is the best advice you ever received as a writer? Writer’s block is simply a failure of nerve. What is the best bit of advice you give aspiring authors? Finish something. Anything. A poem, a short story, a novel. Just get to the end of whatever you’re writing, because that’s where you learn how to do it. Oh, and I have one more: Try to write one page a day. If you can’t write one page a day, sorry, but you’re probably not a writer. But if you can and do, you’ll have a book within one year.

Students learn bicycle and pedestrian safety skills at Solana Vista School By Kristina Houck It looked like rush hour on the playground at Solana Vista School April 21-25. For Earth Week, a section of the pavement was taped off to resemble a four-way intersection, complete with four stop signs. Using PVC pipes made to look like handlebars, students pretended to be cyclists while others were pedestrians. “It’s a fun thing for them, and at the same time, it helps them learn,” said physical education teacher Robin Park, who the children call “Coach Park.” “It’s one thing to say, ‘Look both ways before you cross the street,’ but it’s another thing to show them why that’s important. We want them to make the mistakes here as opposed to out there. That’s why it’s good to have this.” The bicycle and pedestrian safety skills program was held during physical education classes throughout the week and led by Solana Beach resident Karl Rudnick. Rudnick is a certified instructor with the League of American Bicyclists, an organization that promotes cycling for fun, fitness and transportation through advocacy and education. He holds Smart Cycling classes in Oceanside, teaching children and adults bicycle safety skills. He is also a founding member of BikeWalkSolana, a local community group that advocates for better and safer bicycling and walking facilities, and promotes cycling and walking in Solana Beach. In addition to his classes in Oceanside, he has led two Bike Safety Rodeo weekend events for children in Solana Beach. This was the first time he created an on campus program. “We want to have more in-school education,” said Rudnick, who has lived in Solana Beach with his wife, Jill Cooper, since 1989. A retired teacher, Cooper used to teach at Solana Vista School. “This is just a start.” During the program, children rode “simulated bikes” and walked through a safety course, learning to safely watch out for each other and cars — a poster held by Rudnick. Students also learned a song about the importance of looking left, right and left again before crossing the street. “I learned how to safely cross the road,” said 8-year-old Carly. “If you don’t safely cross the road, you can get hit.” “I learned that you have to look both ways,” Mia, 8, said. “I learned you have to look left, right and left again,” added 7-year-old Erla. Nearly 520 students in transitional kindergarten through third grade participated

in the program throughout the week. During recess, many of the children borrowed the PVC handlebars and played on the pretend intersection using the skills they learned. “As a teacher, I know you learn by doing,” Cooper said. “By walking and imagining that they’re walking and cycling on the streets, it’s a great way to learn how to be safe on the streets.” For more information about the League of American Bicyclists, visit bikeleague.org.

To celebrate Earth Day on April 22, members of the school Garden Club led visitors on tours of the garden, ran a salad bar serving produce grown right on campus, and quizzed people on their herb knowledge with a taste-testing herb game using freshly-plucked garden herbs. While the garden has been on campus since 2008, over the last couple of years it had grown dormant until parent volunteers stepped in. Parent Helen Byard runs the school’s Garden Club, which meets every Tuesday. “Kids come and go but we have our regulars,” Byard said. “It’s amazing how many kids have not planted a plant

before.” Parent volunteer Ryan Jacobson is in charge of planting anything slightly “unusual or experimental,” Byard said, hence the garden’s mangos and sugar cane. The charming garden is reached by passing under a carved wooden sign that has been in place since the garden was established. The hard work of volunteers has completely transformed the space. A “senses” path runs past rosemary and lavender and encircles the heart of the garden, the “birdhouse tree,” on this day, decorated with paper lanterns. “We have all different kinds of nectar and food for different types of birds and we have a nesting area with wool and stuff so birds can take it and make a nest wherever they want,” explained garden club member Stephanie. The basket of nest materials sits at foot of the tree, among rocks painted by the

children. Cheerful purple morning glories climb up the back fence that is adorned with butterflies. Byard and the children have been collecting cans and plastic items to create art projects for the fences. There are some grape vines climbing the fence as well, and Byard says another project being worked on is building an arbor. “As with all gardening, the work is non-stop,” Byard said of their ever-growing todo list. There’s a strawberry patch and greens such as leafy

kale and arugula in boxes, and a tee-pee has been built for green beans. The garden produces onions, squash, radishes and there are pomegranate and lemon trees. “The broccoli is really good,” said student Payton, who lists their tomatoes as another favorite. There are also plenty of flowers in the garden such as daisies, snapdragons and pansies — some second graders recently planted sunflowers near the garden’s wooden seating stumps. “We try to choose flowers that attract wildlife like bees, butterflies and birds,” said Allyson. They even have rice plants, courtesy of Jacobson, of course, and the kids harvested the rice in December, enough for everyone to have a little handful. Byard said it’s a wonder that any produce was left to sample on Earth Day, as the students love to sample everything the garden grows.

CCA graduate Alice Cash will return to France in May to direct self-written play Carmel Valley native Alice Cash had no idea that her love for Versailles, croissants, Molière, and everything French would lead to her first job out of college. Cash (Canyon Crest Academy class of 2009) graduated from Georgetown University in May 2013 with degrees in French, Performance Studies, and Art History. Her senior thesis consisted of writing and directing a play based on a year of research on the creation of Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland. The play received high critical and scholarly acclaim. The script was then shared with a French government official by one of her professors and she was hired to come to France and research the history of a small town in the Region of Pas-de-Calais and write a play based on the findings. Upon university graduation, Cash was based in Saint Omer all summer, researching the town’s interesting American connection. She ultimately wrote about the shared history; Maryland Catholic Colonists would come to Saint Omer to study their religion freely at an English Jesuit School. Among these students were three members of the Carroll Family: Daniel Carroll, one of two Catholic signers of the Constitution; Charles Carroll, the only Catholic signer of the Declaration of Independence; and John Carroll, the first Archbishop for the United States. Among these students in a small town in France were Founding Fathers of the United States, strongly religious, but who actually advocated for separation of Church and State when they returned to America. The play was commissioned by the French Department of Development in Pas-de-Calais, in order to start a conversation between the United States and France, first on the artistic creation; and eagerness to turn it towards economic conversations. Cash will return to France in May to direct a staged

The play will feature both American and French actors, just as the young Catholics from America lived and studied alongside French citizens. The play will be performed in a theatre from the early 19th century within the

Mayor’s building in the town of Saint Omer. The hope is to secure investors for a full production that will tour in both the United States and Europe in 2015. Already there are talks for a full production in France in summer 2015. “I never meant to be a playwright,” Cash said. “It started as a means to an end. I needed to tell the real story of the creation of Alice in Wonderland, and there was no play that really expressed the ambiguity I loved, so I wrote it myself. I was suddenly a playwright, and sought after for those skills. Who would’ve thought my first job out of college would be a playwright... in France? I certainly never could have guessed.” Cash will be attending The New School for Drama in New York City this fall to pursue a master of fine arts in directing. See PLAY, page A15

By Kristina Houck Surrounded by their peers playing soccer, softball and other traditional sports, more than a dozen students tossed a Frisbee after school on the field at Earl Warren Middle School in Solana Beach. It was another weekly practice for the school’s new Ultimate Frisbee Club. Identical twin sisters Ava and Lauren Hanna and their best friend Vanessa Beeler formed the club in late March. “We were doing Frisbee in our PE unit, and since everyone was really getting into it, we thought we should start a club so that way it’s always here,” said 14-year-old Lauren. “And we did!” Combining the non-stop movement and athletic endurance of soccer with the aerial passing skills of football, in Ultimate, two teams compete using a flying disc on a field with end zones. The object of the game is to score by catching a pass in the opponent’s end zone. The twins learned the sport from their father. Cliff Hanna, who has played the sport since college, went on to become an original member of the Atlanta-based Chain Lightning team, playing in a number of national championships. In 2011, Hanna and his fellow Team USA members earned a gold medal in the World Championships of Beach Ultimate. Still a competitor, Hanna now also travels with his daughters when they compete in tournaments with Diego Ultimate Disc Experience, or DUDE, a San Diegobased league. “It has a really good spirit,” said 13-year-old Vanessa,

Called “the Spirit of the Game,” the honor system promotes respect, sportsmanship and fair play. “It’s part of the rules to have that attitude,” added Ava. “You want everyone to try their best even if they’re

not on your team. It’s just a really nice vibe.” Ultimate was developed in 1968 by a group of high school students in New Jersey. Today, an estimated 7 million people play the sport in more than 80 countries, according to USA Ultimate’s website. USA Ultimate is the national governing body for the sport in the United States. “It’s all around the country and the world, but this is one of the spots where youth Ultimate hasn’t really started,” said Hanna, who lives with his family in Del Mar. “I’m really happy that these three are into it enough that they’re doing it on their own because that’s what it takes.” The club meets for practice 2:30-4 p.m. every Friday. Currently an after-school club, the club’s founders have recently held a bake sale and set up a lemonade stand to raise funds so Team Discombobulaters can purchase jerseys and participate in tournaments. Although all three founding members will be at Torrey Pines High School next year, they’re already recruiting some of their seventh grader teammates to lead the team in the fall. “We want to raise awareness about the sport,” said Ava, who plans to start another Ultimate team with her sister and best friend in high school. “We want this sport to become something that’s really well known.” To learn more about Ultimate, visit www.usaultimate.org.

The Del Sol Lions hosted more than 40 members of the community at their monthly meeting recently at the Fletcher Cove Community Center, where attendees learned how a special bond between a dog and a veteran can help cope with the traumatic experiences and injuries associated with war. As the U.S. military struggles with the growing epidemic of PTSD and soldier suicide, a nonprofit organization based in Escondido – Next Step Service Dogs – is training service dogs to help veterans cope with the recovery process of dealing with war. “The U.S. military is part of the fabric of our North County coastal community and we just learned first-hand that appropriately trained service dogs can dramatically improve the quality of life

(L-R) Del Sol Lions President David Cain; Judy Keene and Daniel Lopez from Next Step Service Dogs; 4-monthold German Shepard Ringo – a Next Step Service Dogs dog-in-training. for these heroic men and women,” said David Cain, president of the Del Sol Lions. “Next Step Service Dogs is a great organization working on a critical issue to our region. It’s important for us to learn about these assets and figure out ways we can help.” Next Step Service Dogs empowers positive change for veterans with invisible disabilities such as PTSD and

traumatic brain injuries through the use of expertly trained service dogs. Their service dogs greatly improve the veterans’ quality of life, independence, and the sense of being unconditionally loved, respected and protected by a service dog battle companion. Judy Keene, spokesper -son for Next Step Service Dogs, provided meeting attendees with an overview of training methods, success stories and how members of the military and veterans can connect with a trained companion. Daniel Lopez, a U.S. Marine, recovering from severe PTSD/TBI, then shared his journey of how the Next Step Service Dog training program helps him in his recovery and has energized him to become a Next Step Service Dog trainer. “PTSD doesn’t mean you’re that crazy guy out on the streets. We don’t even like to leave home.

You don’t see us,” said Lopez, a resident of San Diego County. “A dog named Ginger saved me. Without these dogs, I would’ve been lost a long time ago,” he added. Next Step Service Dogs are often rescue dogs trained to perform specific tasks including getting help, turning on lights, balance support, and retrieval, to name a few. Next Step Service Dogs are psychiatric service dogs with tasks that include helping a veteran gauge the safety of their surroundings, allowing them to venture into public places without constantly scanning for snipers, hidden bombs and other dangers; reassuring them, allowing them to learn trust and caring again – and maybe smile for the first time in months or years.

Letters to the Editor/Opinion Is the dream of a Del Mar Commons dead? In a past letter to the editor I have argued that the City Hall property was a kind of a modern day “commons,” the old English name for public land held in common where villagers held events serving members of the community. This vision is put in peril with a plan by Jim Watkins to dedicate most of the public spaces to commercial purposes giving an insignificant part of the space to severely reduced City services. The Watkins plan proposes an underground parking garage that is too large for our needs. This immense underground structure is unlikely to be substantially used, especially if people have to pay. More than 6,000 square feet of retail stores are also proposed but will remain mostly empty because, except for groceries and drugs, people purchase most everything on the internet or in big shopping centers. Seven proposed townhomes and retail stores so clutter the site that we would have nowhere to hold the Coast Waste events of collection of recyclables, visits by the blood bank. Where would we locate a possible police force, emergency services or uses where future generations will need space for projects that we cannot envision at this time? During construction of this major project construction equipment and construction workers will park on adjacent streets depriving our residents and beach goers of street parking. Finally, during construction the administration could rent space elsewhere in town. But where would the City Council meetings take place? Outdoors? I imagine that in the end these two visions for the City Hall property will have to be decided by the voters. One vision favors commercial uses. The other vision is supported by those of us who believe that the best use of the property is to be the seat of our government, serving our community needs, available for transient uses, allowing future generations to come up with new projects.

San Dieguito River Park at risk BY GORDON CLANTON San Diego Mayor Kevin Faulconer’s first proposed budget eliminates funding for the San Dieguito River Park, about $254,000. Republican Faulconer, running for office in a city with a 14-point Democratic registration edge, shrewdly campaigned on the well-worn bipartisan slogan, “There is no Democratic or Republican way to fix a pothole.” Apparently, however, there is a Democratic or Republican way of funding regional parks. The Republican way is to stop the funding. Why am I not surprised? The River Park is a regional treasure 25 years in the making, the cumulative work of thousands of volunteers and donors. Stretching 55 miles from Del Mar and Solana Beach to Julian, the park pre-

serves open space, blocks sprawl, protects threatened habitat and endangered species, and provides major recreational benefits for the people of San Diego County and for visitors to our region. The River Park reaches from Coast to Crest and includes the San Dieguito Lagoon, Lake Hodges, the Safari Park (which I still call the Wild Animal Park), Sutherland Reservoir, Santa Ysabel Creek, and Volcan Mountain. Supervisor Dave Roberts and Escondido Councilwoman Olga Diaz have described the San Dieguito River Park as “the Yosemite of Southern California.”

OK. That’s a bit much. But the River Park is very special, very precious. It deserves the support of the municipal governments along its course. Del Mar, Solana Beach, Escondido, and Poway are paying their fair shares. Why not San Diego? If you care about the River Park, contact ASAP Mayor Faulconer: kevinfaulconer@sandiego.gov and Councilwoman Sherri Lightner sherrilightner@ sandiego.gov. Urge them to continue the funding. P.S.: Volunteer drivers wanted. Del Mar Community Connections is again seeking new drivers from Del Mar Hills, Heights, and Terrace, as well as the City of Del Mar for their Volunteer Drivers Program.

Join our campaign to fight the bite By Supervisor Dave Roberts The county’s Vector Control Program is digging in to fight the bite. And we need your help. A countywide campaign to kill mosquitoes is in full force. Our arsenal includes helicopters, mobile phones, tiny fish and chickens. Our infantry includes anyone at risk of a mosquito bite. That’s more than 3.5 million of us. Mosquito bites are painful and irritating, but the real enemy is West Nile Virus, a mosquito-borne disease that can be deadly or make people very sick. After a very-mild winter, officials from the county’s Department of Environmental Health warn that mosquito breeding will start early. Technicians are monitoring traps, watching for dead birds and are testing horses and sentinel chickens. So far, we have detected no traces of West Nile Virus. Air strikes to apply larvicide started last week. From now through October, helicopters will apply it to coastal lagoons, river valleys or other large drainages near populated areas. The active ingredient of the larvicide is a biological material specifically targeted to the larval stages of mosquitoes. That means it presents no health risks to people or other wildlife. Helicopters alone, however, will not win the war. How can you stop mosquitoes? Look around the yard for standing water. A sagging tarp, toys and clogged rain gutters are frequent culprits. If it can hold water for a week, it can breed mosquitoes. Unmaintained swimming pools can be a major source of mosquito breeding. If you know of a green pool, please report it. The county employs

Dave Roberts a team of technicians that treats standing water with larvicide and mosquito fish. The county makes mosquito fish available to homeowners free of charge. In some cases, technicians can bring mosquito fish to your residence. At the house, be sure the screens on your windows and doors are in good shape. Apply repellent if you’re going outside. Remember that mosquitoes are most active at dawn and dusk. How else can you fight the bite? Watch for dead birds — especially crows, ravens, jays or raptors – and contact the county right away if you find one. If the bird has died recently, it can be tested for West Nile Virus. The county has just published a free, Fight the Bite Mobile App with information and tools to send photographs and information about dead birds or green pools right to the Vector Control Program. Fight the Bite has a Web site – www.SDFightTheBite.com – and also can be found on Facebook. The phone number for the San Diego County Vector Control Program is (858) 694-2888. We live in America’s finest county, and working together we can control mosquitoes, prevent West Nile Virus and enjoy a great quality of life. Dave Roberts represents the Third District on the San Diego County Board of Supervisors.

As no one’s cell phones were working, he found out through Facebook updates that everyone was OK. “The team made the decision immediately to go back the next year and take back the finish line,” Rechs said. It was an “emotionpacked” race as not only was Boston coming back strong but it was Dick’s last race with Rick. This year Team Hoyt was able to raise over $20,000 for the Hoyt Foundation for children with disabilities and for the Boston Children’s Hospital. “This year was bigger, better, more electric,” Rechs said. “The crowds were amazing…The crowd carries you. When you’re in trouble and struggling and your leg is cramping, the crowd is always there to pick you up…They take their marathons seriously.” As the Hoyts start two hours ahead, the rest of the team has to try and catch up to them. This year, Rech caught up at mile 23 and 20 members of the team crossed the finish line together. Next year, Rick will run again with team member Bryan Lyons taking over for Dick. Rechs plans to return as well. “It’s the best race I’ve ever done,” Rech said of Boston. “After I ran my first marathon, (Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego in 1999) I vowed I would never do another one, but when

the opportunity came up to run for the Hoyt Foundation in 2010, I took it and I’ve been at it ever since.” Carmel Valley resident Bernie Sidney, 50, recalls passing Team Hoyt while she ran a very emotional marathon in Boston. Sidney had qualified for Boston running Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego in 2013 on no sleep and little food, two days after the father of her two children passed away. Boston’s loss felt like her loss, she said, and while she primarily races Ironman-distance triathlons, she had to be part of the historical event this year. “People were cheering from mile one to mile 26.2, the town was like one. I was trying to remember every single thing at this race, I don’t ever want to forget it. I started the race crying and as I passed the Hoyt family, I lost it completely,” said Sidney. “I felt like I was running in front of my family cheering me on. I loved every step I took on that race, it seemed like it went too fast for me.” ***** As he watched the horrible events unfold on TV in 2013, it never occurred to Rancho Santa Fe’s Dan Minteer that he would ever run the Boston Marathon, much less run it the very next year. “I had only run a single marathon and I was nowhere near qualifying,” said Minteer, 64. He ran the June 2013 Rock ‘n’ Roll San Diego Marathon with no goals of qualifying for Boston but found out that he had. “When I found out later that I had qualified, I wanted to be part of the Boston Marathon and play a small role in showing the world that acts of terror will not destroy what is great in this country.” Minteer said the running community and the city of Boston came together and sent a message loud and clear that the Boston Marathon had not only survived but had come back even

Founded in 1966, today the organization serves more than 21,000 youth in the San Dieguito community through its seven branches. The Harper Branch, which is located at 533 Lomas Santa Fe Drive in Solana Beach, serves an average of 50 children every day. The branch uses its two vehicles to transport children from local schools to the organization’s clubs and field trips. “There’s a lot of shuttling and kids being left at school while we shuttle back and forth,” said Wilson. “We definitely felt the impact yesterday and today. It was half our fleet.” The vehicle is currently at a repair shop, and the case is still under investigation.

Del Mar Village Association to host ‘Summer Solstice by the Sea’ celebration June 19 By Karen Powell The Del Mar Village Association will once again host its 9th annual Summer Solstice celebration on Thursday, June 19, at Powerhouse Park on Coast Boulevard from 5 to 8 p.m. Over 700 people are expected to gather in the seaside space and sample tastings from over 20 vineyards and micro breweries, as well as delectable food samplings from Del Mar’s finest restaurants. A small, one of a kind silent auction will be held featuring items like Thoroughbred Club tickets, wine tasting dinners, a party in the Powerhouse, etc. Long hailed as a launch party for the summer season, the sell out crowd will be treated to the steel drum sounds of the Fula Bula Band, and will enjoy a tiki torch finale as our Del Mar lifeguards surf in to shore at sunset with a dazzling display of blazing fire. A portion of the funds raised by this event will benefit the Challenged Athletes Foundation Wounded Warriors Del Mar Surf Clinic and the City of Del Mar by funding the purchase of beach wheelchairs. These specialized chairs allow wounded servicemen, first responders, and local residents in need of beach access assistance the ability to enjoy our shore and participate in various water activities. Tickets are limited and available through the DMVA Visitors Center, 1104 Camino Del Mar, or on line at www. delmarmainstreet.com. Tickets are $75 while supplies. It is suggested you purchase your tickets early as this is always a sell out event. You must be 21 or over to attend. The Del Mar Village Association is dedicated to enhancing the vitality of the village of Del Mar while preserving its history and unique character.

DOCUMENTARY continued from page A5 ich, founder of the Russian rock band Time Machine. More than $1 million was spent making the film, including a $550,000 grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, and his own private funds, Binkley said. Recent tensions between Russia and its neighbor to the west caused Saifudinov’s band to scuttle plans to perform in Ukraine this spring. The tour was being planned by Del Mar resident Sasha Alex Bach, Elektrik Tank’s drummer. More than 50 years after his first encounter with rock and roll, Saifudinov remains an ardent fan and practitioner of the genre. His band’s new album, “Go Go Boom Boom” features 11 original compositions. “It was fresh, it was new, it was exciting, it was incredibly powerful,” Saifudinov said of his early impressions of rock music. “We owned the place. Let people work and build socialism, but we wanted to have fun.” For more information on the May 6 event, visit www. bellyup.com.

People thanked you for coming; I thanked them for putting on such a great event.” Minteer said. “The roar of the crowds as the runners went through the course was unlike anything I had ever experienced. The people of Boston and their marathon are back. It was a special treat that an American man won for the first time in 31 years — a runner from San Diego no less. I was honored to be there.” Other Del Mar finishers: Janet Chenier (58), Christian Heckscher (62), Marian Holland (41), Megan Mohebbi (60), James Pathman (49), Daniel Pippel (40), Laura Sasaki (50) and Jene Shaw (30).

North Shore Softball’s under-8 All Stars last year. Courtesy photo

North Shore Girls Softball gearing up for first All Star tournament By Karen Billing North Shore Girls Softball will host the Coastal Classic All Star tournament this month, the first in its 26-year history as a league. Running May 16-18, the Coastal Classic will bring more than 52 teams and over 600 girls to Carmel Valley for competitive softball match-ups, some of them under the lights. “It’s going to be a gigantic event,” said tournament director Randy Rechs. Rechs said the main reason North Shore has never hosted such a tournament before is because they are just a “tremendous undertaking” that require a lot of volunteer work. This year, they had the volunteer manpower to pull it off. “We have a core group of people that formed the All Star Tournament Committee and they have just been tireless workers,” Rechs said. “They will just do anything to bring this tournament about.” The tournament will feature games on the fields at Solana Highlands School, Torrey Hills School, Carmel Valley Recreation Center and Ocean Air School. North Shore has several All Star teams in each division: under-8, under-10, under-12 and under-14. Rechs said one of the goals of the tournament is to draw more kids into softball from local areas. He hopes little girls will see the bigger girls in their special All Star uniforms, having fun playing the game and go to their parents to ask to try the sport. He also hopes the community will come out and support the league and its topnotch players. “I think the community will really enjoy coming out and watching the girls play,” said Rechs, who admits he is biased as a parent and coach of two young players. “At the All Star level it’s a pretty amazing degree of proficiency that they play at, the games are pretty entertaining. It’s amazing how well they play.” Sponsorship opportunities for the tournament are still available. For more information, email Randy at randy@rechslaw.com.

Legendary Cathedral Coach Dick Serrano to retire After nearly 50 years at Uni/Cathedral Catholic High School, longtime baseball coach Dick Serrano will retire June 1. The following statement was released from Cathedral Catholic High School: “It’s difficult to imagine Cathedral Catholic High School without legendary baseball coach Dick Serrano cheering on his favorite team and proudly donning his red CCHS cap. He ‘bleeds’ Cathedral Red and Gold. “Coach Dick Serrano has influenced the lives of thousands of students and student athletes during his 48 years as a dedicated teacher and coach for the Uni/Cathedral Dons. As Varsity baseball coach at the University of San Diego High School, he held the title of ‘Winningest Coach in San Diego’ for over five years. His 69 percent winning record includes 549 wins and four CIF championships. He is known for sending many Dons baseball players to notable universities and the major leagues. Coach Serrano will forever be remembered for his commitment to students and the community, his endless dedication to the sport of baseball, and his ability to produce champions for over four decades. ‘“I devoted my entire career here,” says Coach. “I devoted my time as a baseball coach to build a program to turn over to Gary Remiker 14 years ago...and he’s done an excellent job.” “Some notable players of Coach Serrano’s include Barry Zito (San Francisco Giants, Oakland A’s), Mark Prior, (Chicago Cubs, Texas Rangers), and Carlos Quentin (San Diego Padres). “Carlos Quentin from the San Diego Padres says, ‘For myself, Coach Serrano was instrumental in allow-

Dick Serrano ing me to play multiple sports here. A lot of players, then and now, have specialized skills, and he was able to communicate with all of the coaching staff to allow me to play basketball and football, two sports I loved doing as well. This helped me become a better athlete, and ultimately, a better baseball player as I continued through the

ranks.’ “After a total of 48 years at USDHS and CCHS, it won’t be easy for Coach Serrano to say goodbye. His loyalty and dedication to the staff, students and athletes is what the Serrano legacy is built on. In between the time he’ll be spending with his beautiful wife, Loleta, of 52 years, his children and grandkids, we’ll be lucky to have Coach in the stands cheering on the Dons. “Coach Serrano speaks fondly about the coaching staff at CCHS, ‘The entire coaching staff here at CCHS is second to none. They all do a fantastic job and are dedicated to the faculty and students.’ “His advice to players today? ‘It is important to say, “God, Family, Education, and then Baseball.’”

more than $16,000 toward our goal of $54,000 to secure and maintain fields,” shared DMCVS Director of Club Operations Shannon MacMillan. “This is an easy way to leverage your donation to the Sharks and help your tax deductible philanthropic dollars multiply for a good cause. By funding a safe and supportive environment, we encourage all players to reach their full potential and play at the highest level possible for their ability.” Incentive pool funding is available only for donations of $25 (minimum) up to $1,000 made on May 6, the day of the giveBIG event, through the www.giveBIGsandiego.org website where more information can be found, including a list of more than 340 participating nonprofit organizations.

Locals bring young blind runner to San Four horses with North County connections to compete in 2014 Kentucky Derby Diego to participate in first triathlon By Kristina Houck When asked about her dream, 10-year-old Heaven Vallejos has one answer: to participate in a triathlon. “I’ve never done one before and I’ve always wanted to do one,” said Heaven, a fourth grader at Mountain View Elementary School in Fresno. “It sounds like a lot of fun.” Heaven and her twin brother were born premature and with retinopathy, a disease that causes abnormal blood vessel growth in the retina. Although legally blind and only able to see shadows, Heaven runs on her elementary school’s cross country team. Participating in a triathlon was the young athlete’s next goal after she completed her first marathon, the 2.62-mile maraFUNrun as part of the California International Marathon in Sacramento. She crossed the finish line in 34 minutes. Inspired by her story, two San Diego men are sponsoring Heaven in the Spring Sprint Triathlon and Duathlon on May 4 in Mission Bay. With the assistance of the Blind Stokers Club, the Challenged Athletes Foundation, and a special running guide, Heaven will be able to accomplish her dream and compete in her first triathlon. “I’m going to be there to cheer Heaven on and be supportive,” said local attorney Joe Stine. He and his friend, North County businessman Sam Assi, are cosponsoring Heaven and her family’s trip to San Diego. “To the extent that I can help out in any little way to support her, support her family and make this happen, I’m proud to do it.”

Courtesy photo The Blind Stokers Club, which pairs sighted captains with blind partners on high performance tandem bikes, as well as the Challenged Athletes Foundation, are also supporting the trip with in-kind donations. Blind Stokers Club tandem pilot and triathlete Catharina Giudice will guide Heaven as she swims, bikes and runs during the Itsy Bitsy Triathlon for children ages 7 to 10 years old. The event includes a 100-yard swim, 3-mile bike ride and three-quarter-mile run. “We and the Blind Stokers Club are thoroughly excited to be involved,” said Dave White, founder and director of the club. “We made Heaven a member of the Blind Stokers Club, and sent her a club cycling jersey.” As a 9-year-old, Heaven competed in the Junior Blind Olympics, taking home four silver medals in multiple sports. The experience inspired her to put on a crosscountry uniform. Crossing the finish line at her school made her want to cross finish lines elsewhere. “It’s just a joy to see how it’s brought her so much joy,” said Heaven’s father, Frank Vallejos. “She’s having so much fun and is so happy to be doing something that other kids are doing.” The Spring Sprint Triathlon and Duathlon begins at 6:45 a.m. May 4 at South Shores Park in San Diego’s Mission Bay. For every person who registers with the code “HEAVEN2014,” the Challenged Athletes Foundation and KOZ Events will donate $5 (up to $1,000) for future athletic endeavors for Heaven and her brother. “There are special needs children out there that are capable of doing a lot of the things that other kids do,” Vallejos said. “Her story is making people, especially other challenged kids, aware of that. Get out there. Do what you want.” “If you want to do a sport, do it,” Heaven added.

By Kelley Carlson Kentucky Derby dreams are about to become a reality for several local residents, which includes the former exercise rider of a legendary horse and the president of an equine rescue organization. It’s not easy to earn a berth in the starting gate for the world’s most famous horse race, run on the first Saturday in May each year in Louisville, Ky. The 1 1/4-mile Derby, held at Churchill Downs, is restricted to 3-year-old thoroughbreds, giving them only one shot to win one of the sport’s most prestigious events. To get there, they compete in a 34-race series that awards points to the top four finishers in each event, and the top 20 point earners earn a spot in “the Run for the Roses.” That’s a very small percentage of the approximately 25,500 thoroughbreds born in North America in 2011. Of the runners who have qualified for this year’s Kentucky Derby, four have connections in the North County area, including the likely favorite. California Chrome The copper-colored California Chrome is the probable choice in this year’s Derby. The colt enters on a four-race win streak, which began with a victory in the final stakes race ever held at Betfair Hollywood Park — the King Glorious Stakes — as a 2-year-old. California Chrome has since reeled off victories in the California Cup Derby, the San Felipe Stakes (Grade II) and the West Coast’s premier race for 3-year-olds, the Santa Anita Derby (Grade I), all at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia. His combined total margin of victory for those races

California Chrome at the Santa Anita Derby. Photo by Kelley Carlson was more than 25 lengths. California Chrome is trained by Rancho Bernardo resident Art Sherman, who until this year was probably best known as the exercise rider of Swaps. Nicknamed “the California Comet,” Swaps won the 1955 Kentucky Derby, was named Horse of the Year in 1956, and at one time held five world records. “He’s (California Chrome) my Swaps, let’s put it that way,” Sherman said in a news release. And California Chrome is also taking his owners on quite a ride — he is the first racehorse campaigned by Steve and Carolyn Coburn and Perry and Denise Martin. “When these guys (Coburn and Martin) first sent me the horse, they said ‘Here’s your Derby horse,’ ” Sherman said. “He’s always been a great-looking horse, but it really seemed like the ‘light bulb’ went on for him in the Cal Cup (Derby, which he won by 5-and-a-half lengths on Jan. 25). He’s much more focused now and he loves to train. It’s pretty exciting.” California Chrome is expected to be ridden in the Kentucky Derby by Victor Espinoza, who won the race aboard War Emblem in 2002. Dance With Fate Another owner with a first-time Derby starter is Bran Jam Stable. The family partnership includes Michael Mellen, who has a home in Rancho Santa Fe, and his daughter, Dawn Mellen, who is president of After the Finish Line, a nonprofit that helps save, rehabilitate and retrain former racehorses for a second career off the track. Bran Jam co-owns Dance With Fate with Sharon Alesia and Ciaglia Racing. Although he had placed in major stakes races as a 2-year-old, the dark bay colt recently emerged onto the Derby picture with a victory in the Toyota Blue Grass Stakes (Grade I) at Keeneland racetrack in Lexington, Ky., on April 12. “To get to this point ... it’s beyond exciting for him (my dad) and everybody,” Dawn Mellen said. “I’m proud of him (Dance With Fate) just getting to this point.” After the Blue Grass, trainer Peter Eurton had expressed some concern about running the horse back in See DERBY, page B22

La Jolla Playhouse season premiere ‘Chasing the Song’ composed with heart and humor By Diana Saenger Speaking with Tony Award-winning playwright and lyricist Joe DiPietro is almost as fun as watching one of the terrific productions he’s behind — like the Tony Awardwinning “Memphis” or “The Toxic Avenger.” DiPietro has a great sense of humor that pops up often when talking about his career and his excitement over his current project, “Chasing the Song,” opening May 12 at the La Jolla Playhouse. Directed by Playhouse Artistic Director Christopher Ashley, “Chasing the Song” was a Page to Stage Playhouse workshop production last year from the “Memphis” team, and features book and lyrics by DiPietro, with music and lyrics by David Bryan, Tony-Award winning composer and lyricist for “Memphis” and Grammy Award-winning keyboard player and founding member of the rock band Bon Jovi. It was during the workshop that Ashley invited DiPietro and Bryan to produce “Chasing the Song” at the Playhouse. “It’s exciting to bring this show to the Playhouse,” DiPietro said. “This is an 18-person musical so it’s very complicated, and because you learn things in rehearsal, I’m always re-writing and tweaking; I’m fully in it mind and soul.” “Chasing the Song” centers on the Brill Building in New York City where the sound of the music charts changed in the early 1960s through artists such as Burt Bacharach, Hal David, Bobby Darin, Neil Sedaka, Carole King and others. “It’s a fictional story about the first female music publisher in the Brill Building,” DiPietro said. “It takes place during one tumultuous year in her company — from spring of 1963 to ‘64 — and how she achieves success and then

“Chasing the Song” runs through June 15 at La Jolla Playhouse. Courtesy photo what happens when the Beatles arrive and that changes the business overnight.” DiPietro said he is a history buff and loves writing historical pieces — an interest that triggered his desire to work with Bryan on a play about the American history of rock ‘n’ roll. “I grew up on rock ‘n’ roll in the 1970s and always thought that theater should reflect the popular music of the day on the radio,” DiPietro said. “When I started collaboration with David on ‘Memphis,’ I was so excited that he was a real rocker. He has a real theatrical sense and a story-telling sense, so I was thrilled that we could do traditional story-telling but with a rock ‘n’ roll vocabulary.” The suggestion that the pair must have had to add an extra room to their homes for all the awards they’ve won, brings a smile to DiPetrio’s face. “We are just two Jersey guys

who have the same backgrounds and that helps. We get along and are good friends. I really love rock ‘n’ roll and wanted to bring it to theater, and David also wanted to bring what he does to the story-telling, which has made my stuff a little hipper, and my story kind of grounds him.” In addition to great music and a superb cast (many with Broadway experiences, some local favorites, and a few from the UC San Diego M.F.A program), DiPietro said he hopes theater-goers will see that like in life, you never know if a song will become a hit or a flop. “We kind of think of ourselves as the rock ‘n’ roll Rogers and Hammerstein, and I’ll be nervously watching from the back of the theater hoping audiences see our show as one made

Sue Vicory. Courtesy photo One.” “It really struck a chord on the impact one person can have on another person’s life,” she said. In 2011, she completed her second film, “Kansas City Jazz and Blues: Past, Present & Future.” The feature-length documentary covered the history of jazz and blues in Kansas City and later aired on PBS. Her third film, “1898: The W.F. Norman story,” explored her family’s hand-pressed tin ceil-

ing business. “I love giving birth to an idea,” said Vicory, who previously lived with her husband in Kansas City before the couple relocated to Del Mar two and a half years ago. “Once it’s complete and out there in the world — it would have never existed before it came through me.” The idea for her fourth film came while on a flight home from Kansas City in October 2012. She was typing “one” on her iPad when the word “resonated” with her. “It seemed like it was so wide open,” she said. “I could take it whatever direction it meant to go.” Two months later, Vicory conducted her first interview for the film. Within a year, the film was in post-production. Living in Del Mar throughout the process, Vicory collaborated with other locals on the project. Carmel Valley voice-over actress Sariann Monaco co-produced and narrated the film. Del Mar artist Maidy Morhous was one of Vicory’s subjects. Since then, Morhous created “Humanity,” a bronze sculpture inspired

by the film. La Jolla musician Nash Howe created original music for the film. “It’s such an honor for me to collaborate with people I never knew before I started this project,” Vicory said. “Now we’re woven together forever.” There is also a companion book for the film, which was written and illustrated by Vicory’s daughters. Tracy Vicory-Rosenquest, 34, is a playwright. Katy Vicory, 32, is an illustrator. Both the film and book will be available on Vicory’s new website, which launches on May 5, her 60th birthday. “My Power of One” brand will also feature apparel and accessories with a portion of the proceeds benefiting organizations that support children, women, animals, art and the environment. “It’s come full circle,” said Vicory, who noted her latest project connects to her first. “‘My Power of One’ is a social statement. We all are impacting someone.” For more information about Sue Vicory, visit suevicory.com. For more information about My Power of One, visit www.mypowerofone.com.

By Kristina Houck How do you define “one?” That’s a question Del Mar filmmaker Sue Vicory asked all 25 people she interviewed for her latest documentary. “One” explores global humanity and our individual significance and impact within it. “It looks at one person in the midst of 7 billion people,” Vicory said. “It seems so big and overwhelming, but when you really look at it, we’re all the same in so many ways.” From San Diego to South Africa, Vicory traveled the globe interviewing people of different ethnicities and religions, ranging in age from 9 to 90. In her interviews, she asked everyone how they define “one,” if they feel they are a significant piece of humanity, if they feel they’ve made an impact on humanity, what act they feel has changed someone’s life and what they want their legacy to be. Although all of her subjects came from different backgrounds, she discovered their answers were not that different. “It was so interesting to see a common thread that people talked about,” said Vicory, who noted every individual talked about the importance of love. “One” is Vicory’s fourth film. Vicory began her filmmaking career more than a decade ago after her youngest of two daughters went away to college. Having worked at her family’s business for 20 years, she wanted to follow a new passion in the second half of her life. After deciding she wanted to be a documentary filmmaker, she signed up for a film class in New York. Vicory released her first documentary in 2005, a short 10-minute film called “Homelessness and The Power of

Scripps Encinitas Gala

he Scripps Encinitas Gala fundraiser was held April 26, with proceeds going to benefit the hospital expansion project at Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas. The event took place outside the hospital, and included a cocktail reception and tours of the new ER. Marking its 50th anniversary in April 2014, Scripps Encinitas is in the midst of the largest expansion in its history. Scripps is now twothirds of the way toward its $58 million philanthropy goal for expansion (having raised $39 million and needing another $19 million). In addition to philanthropy, Scripps is funding the expansion via borrowing and operating margin. Scripps Encinitas hosted the Encinitas Gala to celebrate the 50th anniversary and to help with current fundraising efforts for the expansion. The centerpiece of the current expansion is the Critical Care Building. The 61,643-squarefoot facility will house a 27-bed emergency department on the first floor, which will more than double the size of the current ER. The second floor will include 36 medical-surgical beds for patients recovering from surgery or acute illness. The new building will triple the current number of ambulance bay at the hospital, from two to six. The expansion also calls for the acquisition of new medical technology and the addition of two new surgical suites in the existing hospital building. For photos online, visit www.rsfreview. com.

Local resident’s company horse to run in the Kentucky Derby By Julie Sarno A passionate devotion to Thoroughbred racing and a little bit of luck have put Aron Wellman at the pinnacle of the sport less than three years after founding Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners. On Saturday, May 3, plans call for Eclipse-owned Danza to run in the Kentucky Derby at Churchill Downs. Wellman founded Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners in August of 2011. He is president of the company which buys horses and puts together ownership groups. Located in Del Mar, Eclipse also has offices in Springboro, Ohio, where Lee Midkiff, co-founder and Chairman of Eclipse, is based, and Aiken, South Carolina. This is not Wellman’s first trip to the Kentucky Derby. In 2011, as vice president of Team Valor, Wellman was at Churchill Downs when Animal

Owned by Team Valor, Animal Kingdom finished second in the Preakness and sixth in the Belmont, the other legs of racing’s Triple Crown. Shortly after, Wellman struck out on his own. Though a young-looking 36, Wellman already has spent a lifetime at the racetrack. His family spent summer vacations in Del Mar where they still own a condominium. Wellman’s parents bred and owned Thoroughbreds. His father, Michael, was friends with Hall of Fame jockey Bill Shoemaker who, upon retiring from the sad-

dle, became a trainer. As a child, Wellman spent summers mucking out stalls for Shoemaker and trainer Jude Feld, who was stabled near by. As Wellman grew and became stronger, he was permitted to walk hots (cooling out hot horses after exercise). Then he became a groom – anything to be around the racetrack and the horses he loved. After graduating from University of California at Santa Barbara, Wellman went to Southwestern Law School in Los Angeles. He became a litigator and lived in Los Angeles and worked in Orange County. Finally, the siren call of the track became too strong and he went to work for Team Valor, founded by Barry Irwin. With his knowledge and law degree, Wellman advanced quickly. When he left Team Valor and founded Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners, his goal was to allow participants to experience racing at the highest level, in graded stakes races. “We want to be Satur-

day players,” said Wellman. “And the ultimate Saturday is the first Saturday in May.” On the first Saturday in May, Eclipse hopes to have Danza in the Derby and as many as four other runners competing in major races at Churchill Downs. Capo Bastone, a veteran campaigner in California and on the East Coast is aiming for the G2 Churchill Downs and Craftsman for the $250,000 G2 American Turf. Bajan is pointing for the G3 Eight Belles and No Surrender for an allowance race. Stable star Danza was sired by Street Boss. The colt was named for actor Tony Danza, best known for his role in the sitcom “Who’s the Boss?”, which ran from 1984-92. Danza was purchased as a yearling for $105,000 at the Keeneland September yearling sale in Lexington, Kentucky. At the time, the amount was more than twice what Wellman had paid for his other yearling purchases. Wellman sent the colt to Ocala, Florida, for early preparation and then to New York to trainer Todd Pletcher. Danza broke his maiden in his first start, July 12, 2013, at Belmont Park. A month later, he was 3rd in the G2 Saratoga Special. Danza finished third in an allowance race before surprising as the 41-1 longshot winner of the $1 Million Arkansas Derby, a G1 race and key prep race for Kentucky Derby hopefuls. Danza has two wins from four career starts and earnings of $666,428. “We were hoping that Danza would outrun his odds and prove that he could compete,” said Wellman from his Del Mar office. Instead the colt dominated the eighthorse field and won by 4 3/4 lengths. Danza was shipped to Churchill Downs to acclimate and train the day after the Arkansas Derby. Jockey Joe Bravo again will handle the riding assignment. Eclipse currently has 35 horses. Wellman selects all the horses aided by longtime friend and mentor Eddie Delahoussaye, a retired Hall of Fame jockey. Wellman noted, “We both look at yearlings, but at the end of the day all of the acquisitions are on my shoulders. We work distinct from one another but it’s always good to have Eddie’s stamp of approval.” California runners are trained by Paddy Gallagher, former assistant to Shoemaker and mentor to Wellman. Trainers Simon Callaghan, Marty Jones and Michael McCarthy also train for Eclipse. Two-year-olds are with McCarthy, who is training in California after being the primary assistant to Pletcher on the East Coast. Wellman makes his home in Whispering Palms (Rancho Santa Fe). His wife, Talya, grew up in San Diego and graduated from La Jolla High School. The couple has two See HORSE, page B22

Brad Vanderlip, owner of North County Wavejet, recently described how his unique business evolved: “When my friend developed and patented a personal system water propulsion system for surfboards, I bought my first Wavejet and it changed how I surfed and never went back to regular surfing. I could go where no one else could go and spend more time riding the waves. So, when my friend Mike offered the chance to open the first retail store in California I jumped at the opportunity and opened the North County Wavejet store in south Oceanside. “The really unusual thing about my store is my 81-year-old mother, her 84-year- old husband and a 24-year-old cousin helped me develop and open the store. I think this might be a first for three generations to open a surfboard store. “Our first sale started with a man from Malibu flying to Palomar Airport in his jet and coming to my shop and buying two Wavejets. I delivered the Wavejet to his ocean-front home in Malibu. I also had a lot of interest from Camp Pendleton Marine base for soldiers with injuries. I did a lot of demonstrations and rentals with them. What a rewarding experience to help someone enjoy surfing again! “This month of May our shop will be selling and demonstrating the first kayak with a water propulsion system. “Come by the store and see the revelation in surfing and kayaking.” North County Wavejet is located at 1935 South Coast Highway, Oceanside Calif., 92054; 760-254-5848; www.northcountywavejet.com.

Robin Henkel to perform at Zel’s Del Mar May 10, 24

May is designated World Fair Trade Month, which is marked each year in 80 countries and by more than 1,000 events in North America, centered on World Fair Trade Day, Saturday, May 10. The goal of the day is to celebrate and raise awareness for fair trade justice for farmers and artisans. Currently 1.3 million producers benefit from Fair Trade around the world. Local retailer Fair Trade Décor will host two free World Fair Trade Day events at its Del Mar location May 10 and 11. Alebrijes fantasy animal carver Saul Aragon and his wife and painter, Alma Arreola, will be at the store both days from 12 - 6 p.m. demonstrating this internationallyrespected Mexican tradition. The first alebrijes originated with Pedro Linares in the 1930s. Linares fell very ill, and while in bed, unconscious, Linares dreamt of a strange forest. There, he saw animals suddenly turn into fantasies. He saw a donkey with butterfly wings, a rooster with bull horns, a lion with an eagle head, and all of them were shouting one word, “Alebrijes.” Upon recovery, he began recreating the creatures he saw in cardboard and paper mache. Today, alebrijes are hand-carved from copal wood found in the state of Oaxaca. On Saturday, May 10, from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., Grammy Award winner Lester Abrams of Doobie Brother fame returns to Fair Trade Décor for a salon-style concert to promote Fair Trade. Abrams is a phenomenal entertainer, composer and humanitarian. He co-wrote the Doobie Brothers hit “Minute By Minute” with Michael McDonald, and has performed and recorded with Stevie Wonder, Peabo Bryson and many other world class musicians. To reserve space at the concert, please call 858-461-1263; www.fairtradedecor.com. Both events will be held at Fair Trade Decor, 1412 Camino Del Mar in the village of Del Mar. The store is open daily from 9 a.m. – 8 p.m. and provides free handouts and books for sale with more information on Fair Trade and its global impact.

Solana Pacific fifth-grade classes host Circulation Day By Joost DeJung and Sophie Camilleri, Solana Pacific Elementary fifth-graders On Friday, April 25, at Solana Pacific Elementary School, the 5th grade classes of Mrs. Guseman and Mrs. Trimis took part in an event called Circulation Day. This event was held to help students understand ways in which they can prevent all of their old belongings from ending up in landfills and other places that will damage the earth. Students brought in old belongings — supplies, books, toys and games — and then were allowed to take things other people had brought in. There was absolutely no money involved, and anything left over will be donated to Goodwill. Every aspect of the event was planned and executed by the students. Every student played a part in making the day happen and sitting out was not an option. Students learned a lot

Victoria Chachas, Sophia Zilberman

about leadership, philanthropy and the environment while planning this event. They also gained real-life experience, such as teamwork and dealing with problems. “I now know that, as a good leader, if something comes my way, it’s fine, I can fix it” said Tara Eshraghi. “It made me feel guilty seeing other people enjoying my stuff, knowing it was all lying at the bottom of my closet,” said Sophie Camilleri. “Without Circulation Day, my books and toys would be at the landfill. Thanks to fifth grade teachers, Nora Guseman and Stephanie Trimis, who took time out of their class schedule, we were able to work on the project and see it through to the end. We are already thinking of how we can improve the event for next time.” For photos online, visit www.delmartimes.net. PHOTOS BY JON CLARK

Another focus this year was to raise funds to create additional hands-on science opportunities for the students, as Notre Dame Academy continues to build and enhance its academic strength in STEAM (Science Technology Engineering Arts Math). The event was attended by more than 300 guests, including Notre Dame Academy parents, staff, administration and St. Therese of Carmel parishioners. The school is proud to announce this meaningful event was a great success! For photos online, visit www. delmartimes.net. Photos courtesy of Julie Jorgensen.

New Initiative to Improve Care for Dual Eligibles Beginning in April, San Diego will be one of the first cities in California to take part in the Cal MediConnect program. Cal MediConnect is part of an Affordable Care Act initiative intended to provide dual eligibles (Americans who qualify for both Medicaid and Medicare) with more effective care coordination at a lower cost to tax payers. Because Medicare and Medicaid have different rules, overlapping benefits, and conflicting financial incentives, there has been a lot of wasted money and a lack of care coordination for

dual eligibles. By adopting private sector ideas, the goal is to reduce the cost of care while achieving better outcomes for patients. The dual eligible patient is costly to the healthcare system. These people are usually, old, lower income, and have dysfunctional home situations. They make poor medical decisions by putting off preventative care; instead they choose to wait for a crisis before seeking help. This results in higher costs to the tax funded programs. According to an article on the Pew Chartiable Trust website, although dual eligibles make up 15 percent of Medicaid enrollees, they account for 40 percent of costs. Similarly, they represent 20 percent of Medicare enrollees, but are responsible for more than 30 percent of all costs. This is because their disjointed care leads to treating symptoms while the root causes of their problems persist. The lack of communication between the two

programs often lands patients in expensive emergency rooms when better options exist. The dual eligible program seeks to pay private sector HMOs to coordinate and manage the patients’ care, and the government and HMO will split the amount saved. Wasted money is not the only negative by-product of the traditional treatment of dual eligibles; it’s also the quality of care. An article on New America Media gives an example of a dual eligible patient who has been delaying knee-replacement surgery, even though it has become a bone-on-bone situation, because of the constant challenge of navigating between several providers—some covered by Medi-Cal and some by Medicare. Also, doctors and homecare providers often don’t communicate efﬁciently regarding patients’ medication and the side effects to be aware of. This is why a patient care will be overseen by one HMO entity rather

than several splintered groups. San Diego will be offering ﬁve health plans through Cal MediConnect including Molina, Health Net, Kaiser, Care1st, and Comununity Health Group. The down side to the program right now is that patients can change their plan every month, which is a nightmare for the HMOs and providers to track. We hope this program is implemented better than Obamacare has been. At Encinitas Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, we look forward to any initiative that promises to provide better care for our patients. If you have any questions about Cal MediConnect, visit www. calduals.org. For questions about skilled nursing and rehabilitation care of you or a loved one, please visit us at http:// encinitasnursingandrehab.com or call us at (760) 753-6423.

The Kitchen Shrink

BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Here are tips for transitioning into the spring season with energy-boosting foods and ways to shorten time spent in the kitchen. Exhilarating Eats â&#x20AC;˘ A dose of bittersweet chocolate (with cocoa content over 70 percent) contains 300 substances, including anandamide, which mocks marijuanaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mellow effect on the noggin for a blissful buzz. â&#x20AC;˘ If you like heat, chiles or hot peppers containing

capsaicin will hot-wire the brain to release endorphins and energize. Chips and salsa, anyone? â&#x20AC;˘ Bananas are a tropical treat packed with potassium and magnesium to energize the brain and brawn. â&#x20AC;˘ A steamy infusion of herbal tea always seems to electrify the soul. Peppermint, rosehips and hibiscus teas are cups of uppers, whilst black and green tea brews provide a caffeine lift. Prep School Carve out an hour or so each week for kitchen prep, including chopping onions, celery and carrots, and popping in the freezer for future use. Wash and dry all produce promptly upon your return from the market, and store in airtight containers. Prepare blends with assorted lettuces, chopped cucumber, cauliflower and broccoli florets and store in zip bags for instant salads. Boil a half-dozen eggs, peel and have them on call. Spring

soups and pasta dishes can be prepared and frozen for weeks, ready to heat and eat at a momentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s notice. Store bought, organic rotisserie chicken is a multitasking lifesaver for creating numerous meals from sandwiches and stir-fries to burritos and chopped salads. Set It and Forget It After prepping your meats and veggies, the Crock-Pot runs the show. Everything from chicken gumbos, cacciatores and vegetarian curries to lamb stews and turkey chilis can be started in the morning, warm and ready hours later upon your return. The Cadillac Crock-Pots have non-stick removable stoneware inserts for attractive table service, which also saves on the cleanup. Magical Moroccan One-Pot Tagines are savory Moroccan one-pot wonders of chicken, lamb, beef or fish with vegetables, dried fruits, preserved lemons and exotic herbs and spices, including turmeric, saffron, ginger and corian-

der, simmered in a cooking vessel that bears the same name. The conical shape of the traditional ceramic or clay tagine allows the heat to circulate evenly so all ingredients cook uniformly, while trapping the steam and condensed liquids inside, stewing the meats and vegetables to a meltin-your-mouth tenderness. The shallow dish that fits below the coned dome is used for both cooking purposes and serving. Traditional Moroccan tagine dishes are served on a bed of fluffy couscous (also low maintenance). Paella-a-Go-Go My familyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s favorite one-pot meal is Spainâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s signature paella, an extravaganza of assorted treasures from the land and sea, rice and golden saffron. Alas, this version is a simple one in keeping with the spirit of curtailing kitchen time, but is still scrumptious and divine. (Serves 6) Ingredients 2 cups organic short grain rice

2 cups boiling water 1 pound each jumbo shrimps and deep-sea scallops 3 spicy Italian sausages (I prefer chicken), sliced in 1-inch coins 1 lobster tail, steamed, cut in bite-size chunks (optional) 1 pound chicken breasts, cut in bite-size pieces 4 tablespoons virgin olive oil 3 tablespoons tomato sauce 1 sweet onion, diced 2 garlic cloves, minced 1 green pepper, diced 1/2 teaspoon oregano 1/2 teaspoon saffron 1 cup frozen peas, defrosted Sea salt and cracked pepper to taste Lemon wedges Method: In a paella pan or large covered skillet, heat half the oil on medium; add the chicken and garlic, season with pepper, salt and oregano. Cook until the chicken is golden brown. Add the remaining oil,

Short cuts in the kitchen

Paella onion, sausage, green pepper. Cook for 10 minutes. Add the tomato sauce and rice; cook for 5 minutes. Add the shrimps, scallops, saffron and boiling water. Cover and simmer for about 20 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed. Blend in the lobster and make a well in the center for the peas. Cover and cook another 5 minutes. Garnish with lemon wedges.

DERBY continued from page B1 three weeks and on dirt, a surface over which Dance With Fate is 0-for-2. (The Blue Grass was run on a synthetic track.) However, Mellen noted that Dance With Fate has raced on several different surfaces, including Santa Anitaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dirt track, and has actually performed well, with a runner-up effort in the FrontRunner Stakes (Grade I) last year. After the Blue Grass, he came back â&#x20AC;&#x153;perfectâ&#x20AC;? and was checked by a vet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He has been telling us that he is OK to race again,â&#x20AC;? Mellen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re listening to him.â&#x20AC;? Corey Nakatani, who was on Dance With Fate in the Blue Grass, will ride him in the Kentucky Derby. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We want a safe race for all the horses and all the jockeys,â&#x20AC;? Mellen said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very important to us, as well. Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be cheering on (Dance With Fate) â&#x20AC;&#x201C; I think the people in California will be hearing us.â&#x20AC;? Until this year, the closest Bran Jam had gotten to Churchill Downs on Derby

weekend was with the graded stakes winner Weemissfrankie, but an injury kept her from competing in the Kentucky Oaks, the filliesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; equivalent of the Derby. Hoppertunity Part-time Del Mar resident Mike Pegram is looking for a â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hoppertunityâ&#x20AC;? to add to his Kentucky Derby trophy collection. Having won the race in 1998 with Real Quiet, he is hoping again for the sweet smell of Derby success as co-owner of Hoppertunity, whose prep races included the Risen Star Stakes (Grade II) at the Fair Grounds in Louisiana, in which he was fourth; the Rebel Stakes (Grade I) at Oaklawn Park in Arkansas, which he won; and a runner-up effort in the Santa Anita Derby behind California Chrome. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I was happy with the way he ran (in the Santa Anita Derby) and he finished well,â&#x20AC;? trainer Bob Baffert said in a news release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think he was going to beat California Chrome, but he ran a good, solid race. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He (Hoppertunity) is a laid-back horse and he is not going to wow you.

well over the track. We know he can run.â&#x20AC;? However, some people have questioned the fact that the bay colt did not start last year, as no horse has won the Derby without having raced at age 2 since Apollo in 1882. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hey, I had him entered in a race at 2 and scratched him because I had another one there,â&#x20AC;? Baffert said in a news release. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He was ready to run, so that should count.â&#x20AC;? Pegram owns Hoppertunity in partnership with his lifelong friends Karl Watson and Paul Weitman, and together, they have found success with champions such as Midnight Lute and Lookin At Lucky. Jockey Mike Smith â&#x20AC;&#x201C; who piloted Giacomo to a Derby win in 2005 â&#x20AC;&#x201D; has the mount on Hoppertunity on Saturday. Danza The Eclipse Thoroughbred Partners group â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which has an office in Del Mar â&#x20AC;&#x201C; will be represented by Danza, who recently punched his ticket to Kentucky with a surprise victory in the Arkansas Derby (Grade I) at Oaklawn Park.
