Del Mar receives status report on study regarding options for law enforcement BY KRISTINA HOUCK A study is underway to explore whether Del Mar should cut its contract with the San Diego County Sheriff’s Department and establish its own police department. Although the City Council in January renewed a five-year contract with the Sheriff’s Department, council members agreed to research other viable options for law enforcement. Ralph Andersen & Associates was awarded a $25,000 contract four weeks ago to conduct the study. “Our goal is to have somebody professionally tell us whether we should stay with the Sheriff’s Department or whether we should look at other options,” said Jim Benedict, chair of the Sheriff’s Sub-Committee and member of the Finance Committee, which recommended the city evaluate alternatives such as creating its own police department or pursuing a joint venture with nearby cities. “Our goal is for the report to expose that in some way, shape or form.” During a status report at a special meeting of the Del Mar Finance Committee on July 8, a representative of the consulting firm presented its initial findings. Del Mar currently pays more than $1.76 million in law enforce-

BY KRISTINA HOUCK A Mount Laguna-based organization is helping preserve a critically endangered plant that grows in only five places on the planet — all within a few miles of Del Mar and Carmel Valley. In an effort to expand the most endangered population, The Chaparral Lands Conservancy collected short-leaved dudleya brevifolia seeds on June 25 at the Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve Extension. “Every population that’s left
occurs at a protected park, but that doesn’t necessarily mean they’re protected,” said David Hogan, director of The Chaparral Lands Conservancy. “The population at Torrey Pines Extension, even though it’s at Torrey Pines Reserve, a protected park, is the most critically endangered of all of the five populations because of trampling.” The Chaparral Lands Conser-

Abandoned puppies at Woodward Center Six rescued dogs were left out in 107-degree weather BY CITY NEWS SERVICE A half-dozen puppies found abandoned in a shopping cart outside a mall in Central California last week have been put under the care of the Helen Woodward Animal Center in Rancho Santa Fe and will be available for adoption soon, the center recently announced. The shepherd-terrier mixes, about 4 weeks old, were discovered Friday, June 28, in Kern County, where the temperature hit 107, said the center’s Jessica Gercke.

Local couple devoted to development of Integra Center for wounded warriors BY JOE TASH Local resident Russ Penniman took the oath to serve in the U.S. Navy in the 1970s, against the backdrop of the end of the Vietnam War. A graduate of the U.S. Naval Academy, Penniman said he watched with “great disappointment” as the nation neglected its returning service members. Now a rear admiral serving on active duty as deputy commander and chief of staff for the U.S. Pacific Fleet, Penniman said he is determined not to let veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan suffer the same fate. Penniman is speaking out in support of the Integra Center, which is envisioned as a facility where wounded warriors can receive all of the care they need, from medical services to education to job training to counseling, under one roof. Penniman’s wife, Carol, whose background is in the financial industry, serves on the Integra Center’s fivemember board of directors, and the couple recently hosted a concert during the San Diego County Fair to promote the project. The new center, once it is operational, will serve wounded combat veterans who have suffered amputations and traumatic brain

injuries. “These are the folks we need to take care of for the rest of their lives. As a society, we owe them that,” Penniman said in a telephone interview from his Naval office in Hawaii. “There’s a small group of Americans out on the line all the time, manning a post, standing a watch, on patrol, to secure the freedoms that we enjoy every day,” said Penniman, who is also a member of the board for the 22nd District Agricultural Association, which oversees the state-owned Del Mar Fairgrounds. Anthony McDaniel Jr., a Marine sergeant who lost both legs and one hand when he stepped on an “improvised explosive device” while on patrol in Afghanistan in 2010, said he received a lot of support during his recovery and rehabilitation at medical centers in Washington D.C. and San Diego. The Integra Center will be a great addition to the range of services available to wounded warriors, he said. The Integra Center “is a place that people are trying to get together for everyone to get what they need. Nobody is left out. We want people to feel like there’s somewhere they can to get the things they need,” he said. McDaniel, 24, plays in a wheelchair basketball league and is planning to move to Florida where he will finish a degree in accounting before starting his own small business such as a car wash. The idea for a “one-stop shop” to provide comprehensive services for wounded war-
riors was first proposed by Rear Adm. C. Forrest Faison III, commander of the Naval Medical Center San Diego and Navy Medicine West. In an article published last December by the U.S. Naval Institute, Faison said wounded warriors need four things to help them transition successfully back to civilian life and avoid the pitfalls of substance abuse and homelessness: seamless medical care for life, education, job and career assistance, and family support services such as childcare and counseling. While such services are available for wounded warriors in San Diego, they are spread out in many different locations, said Carol Penniman. Because many injured service members can’t drive, they have to rely on their spouses for transportation, causing family stress and putting the spouses’ own jobs at risk. “Forrest said it would be so great to put all of this under one roof,” said Carol Penniman. “We want it to be warm, welcoming, light, accommodating,” she said. “A community place where they can just go and be with each other, a place where they feel very welcome and comfortable.” Along with the Martina McBride concert, the Integra Center also staffed a booth with volunteers during the run of the fair, providing information, collecting small donations and allowing fair visitors to sign a commemorative wall. Supporters are beginning their outreach efforts with the goal of raising $20 million to lease space for the center, customize the building, and run the center for its first five years, said MaryAnn F. Stewart, Integra Center president. “Right now we’re just at the threshold of seeing this happen,” said Carol Penniman. Stewart said the group seeks to lease part of an existing building, with 40,000 to 50,000 square feet of space. About half of the center would be devoted to medical care, which would be provided by the U.S. Department of Defense and the Veterans Administration. Currently, such care is provided at Balboa Naval Medical Center. Ideally, the facility would be located along the I-15 corridor in North San Diego County, Stewart said. The center would be designed to serve some 125 wounded warriors per year, and may also have capacity to serve the civilian population, she said.

‘Kite Runner’ author, UCSD alumni returns to area for talk
Martha Barnette, host of public radio’s ‘A Way With Words,’ interviews best-selling author and UCSD graduate Khaled Hosseini at the Museum of Contemporary Art on June 26. PHOTO/PAT SHERMAN in the U.S. outside of those seven years,” though Hosseini said he didn’t save much of his early writing. Born in Kabul, Hosseini came to California with his family at age 15, as part of an initial wave of immigrants seeking asylum in the wake of the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. He spoke almost no English — though curiously, he said, he knew the word “gluttony.”
“It’s sort of the very bythe-book immigrant story,” he said. “My family arrived in the U.S. essentially stripped of all belongings and possessions and title. Like any other firstborn son of an immigrant family, I had my choice of three careers and I couldn’t imagine being an engineer or a lawyer.” Before signing copies of his new book, “And the
Mountains Echoed,” Hosseini fielded questions from the audience. One woman remarked that she felt more connected to the characters in his new release than his first two novels, which includes his sophomore effort, “A Thousand Splendid Suns.” As a writer, Hosseini said he considers himself more discriminating and tougher on himself these
days. “I’m much more careful about what I put on paper,” he said. “I’m not dissing ‘The Kite Runner.’ I love the book, but I haven’t read it in 10 years. I’d want to take out the editing pen.” Hosseini said the characters and relationships in “And the Mountains Echoed” are more complex, nuanced and morally ambiguous than those in his previous works. “Their failures, their fallibilities, their honorable points — it’s all there and it’s a big mess, and we catch them at moments of decision making … and to me that’s very interesting,” he said. His new book is also filled with nods to his poetic education in Afghanistan, where he said verse is the traditional mode of artistic expression. “It sort of transcends that; it’s really part of the Afghan DNA, part of even common people’s lingo,” he said, noting that even in areas with high rates of illiteracy, people can recite lines of poetry and Rumi’s verse is often found alongside graffiti on abandoned buildings. “You were expected to memorize poetry, you were expected to understand it,” he said. Though the new book pays homage to that poetic upbringing and touches on the wars and controversy in Afghan, Hosseini said it is decidedly less political and forceful than his first two books. “My sense is that ‘Kite Runner’ was quite divisive in my community in that some people felt it brought out problems in Afghan society that might have been best kept in-house — that’s something that I fully understand,” he said, noting the skepticism felt by some Afghans who’ve personally lived through the “debacle of the last 30 years.” “I do expect that as an Afghan living in exile writing about Afghanistan that I will always have my critics,” he said. “That’s just par for the course.” For more information, visit www.khaledhosseini.com.

BY PAT SHERMAN Khaled Hosseini, author of the best-selling novel “The Kite Runner” (basis for the 2007 film of the same name), was in La Jolla June 26 for a discussion and book signing at the Museum of Contemporary Art on Prospect Street. During the sold-out event, hosted by Warwick’s bookstore and moderated by radio host Martha Barnette, the 1993 UC San Diego School of Medicine graduate spoke of returning to his “former stomping grounds.” “It’s great to be back,” Hosseini said. “I really loved my time here at UC San Diego… I made some amazing friends and had four really unforgettable years here… I ended up practicing (medicine) for a good eight-anda-half years.” Asked if he wrote during his time at UCSD, Hosseini chided Barnette, “Your even asking that question shows me that you know very little about medical school. I took a seven-year sabbatical from writing during medical school and my three years of residency training, but I was writing pretty much my whole time

Torrey Pines High School Synthetic Biology Club members receiving their prize.
TPHS Synthetic Biology Club wins prize at international competition The Torrey Pines High School Synthetic Biology Club recently brought home the “Best Experimental Measurement” prize in the International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) High School Competition held June 28-29 at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in Cambridge, Mass. This year’s High School division included 30 teams from nine countries. “This was an impressive result for the first year of operation of the TPHS Synthetic Biology Club.” The TPHS team members were Eric Chen, Hope Chen, Brian Choi, Naim Kassira, Gha Young Lee, Michael Margolis, Nicki Nikkhoy, Mokhshan Ramachandran, Brandon Read, Minh Tran, Cindy Yang and Tareq Younis. The International Genetically Engineered Machine competition (iGEM) is the premiere undergraduate Synthetic Biology competition. Student teams are given a kit of biological parts at the beginning of the summer from the Registry of Standard Biological Parts. Working at their own schools over the summer, they use these parts and new parts of their own design to build biological systems and operate them in living cells. “This project design and competition format is an exceptionally motivating and effective teaching method.” In 2011 iGEM expanded to include a High School Division that starts in the winter and an Entrepreneurship Division in 2012. Seven of the 12-member team of the TPHS Synthetic Biology Club were
able to travel to Cambridge recently where they presented and defended their iGEM competition project. The project entailed engineering a repressible promoter from the LasR quorum sensing system found in Pseudomonas Aeruginosa bacterium with the aim of expanding the toolkit available to synthetic biologists. With the exception of some work needing special equipment done at UCSD, the majority of the experimental wet lab work was done on campus under the supervision of TPHS science teacher Brinn Belyea, with primary mentoring from UCSD PhD candidates Spencer Scott along with John De Friel and Daniel Jacobsen, all from the UCSD Biodynamics Lab, and with sponsorship and donations from New England Biolabs, Life Technologies and generous community members through the TPHS Foundation.

PLANT continued from page 1 vancy will plant the collected seeds in a nursery to try and expand the population. In addition, the organization aims to protect the current population by installing fencing and signs, and educating the public about the dangers of off-trail walking. Hogan, who founded the conservancy in 2009 to restore endangered habitat populations in San Diego County, noted the organization found only 13 plants at the site this year, down from 20 in 2012. “The population is so low right now that we’re worried about it persisting at all,” said Hogan, a Solana Beach native. “We’re trying to emphasize to people it is so critical at Torrey Pines and other natural preserves to stay on designated trails, because those trails were fenced or routed where they are for a reason — to protect resources,” Hogan said. “Even
though it may not seem like any one person is doing damage leaving the trail, the affects of that one person plus the next 100 people that do the same thing can be very significant.” The fact that most people have never heard of the plant is even more reason to preserve it, Hogan said. “We have no idea of knowing whether any particular plant could provide critical medical material for use,” Hogan said. “If you’re working on your car and you come across some small, obscure part that you’ve never seen before, you don’t throw it away because you don’t know what it is. You assume that it’s important and you save it.” The Torrey Pines Association awarded a nearly $14,000 grant for the project, which is expected to cost about $33,000 in total. The work is part of The Chaparral Lands Conservancy’s Rarest Plants Project, which also includes work to establish new populations of Orcutt’s spineflower, the only other San

The Orcutt’s spineflower also grows at the Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve Extension. “The Torrey Pines Association is generously supporting our work to save and expand the rarest population of the dudleya at the Torrey Pines State Natural

LAW continued from page 1 ment services, which includes one 24-7 patrol officer and one traffic officer working eight-hour days Monday through Friday. “Compared to cities up the coast, the neighboring cities, Del Mar is paying a lot more per capita for law enforcement,” said John Goss, senior associate of consulting firm Ralph Andersen & Associates. “Compared to other cities around the state the size of Del Mar, where the population evens out, it’s kind of in the middle.” Del Mar spends about 17.7 percent of its general fund on law enforcement services. The city’s general fund grows by about 2 percent every year while the contract with the Sheriff’s Department increases about 5.5 percent annually, according to the Finance Committee’s January report. Goss compared these figures with the law enforcement budget of eight California cities similar in size to Del Mar: Avalon, Carmel, Indian Wells, Ojai, Pismo Beach, Ross, Sausalito and Solvang. Five of these cities are paying more per capita and three are paying less, Goss said. “The cost is very expensive,” said Benedict after the meeting. “For a small city like ours, that’s a problem.” In addition to the esca-

Food vendors sold a massive amount of unusu-
lating cost of the contract with the Sheriff’s Department, committee members expressed concerns about the quality of services. Councilman Al Corti, who serves as a liaison to the committee, said he wants the report to not just compare the Sheriff’s Department contract with a city-run department, but to explore what other services the Sheriff’s Department can provide. “I want more from this study,” Corti said. “I don’t want to just be told I’m getting value from this contract or it’s a cost-effective contract. I want to know what we are not getting and what might it cost us. “I want to understand better—can we get more at the end of the day? If it costs us more, maybe it’s worth it.” Some committee members noted a stand-alone department would allow Del Mar to increase law enforcement services during the summer months, particularly during the fair and racing season — an option not included in the current contract with the Sheriff’s Department. “We can direct the department more in terms of the priority of services that we’re looking for,” said committee member Bud Emerson.

Blurtopia is a social media platform that uses pictures and questions or statements to start online conversations. “We call it the realtime opinion network for the things you’re passionate about,” said Blurtopia CEO and co-founder Ryan Bettencourt. “It’s a conversation starter.” The concept of Blurtopia originated last summer when Bettencourt, 37, noticed a woman taking photos while trying on shoes at Westfield UTC and texting the pictures to her friends. The woman said she needed advice on which shoes to purchase for a party that evening, Bettencourt said. “I thought, ‘We can do that in a much smarter way,’” said Bettencourt, a husband and father of two daughters. After a series of brainstorming sessions with Blurtopia’s other co-founders — some of which took place at Board & Brew Del Mar — the app was developed and launched in October 2012. Blurtopia has about 50,000 users, and is averaging 1,000 new users each day since version 2.0 was released a few weeks ago, Bettencourt said. The updated version has a sleeker design and allows users to easily share their “Blurts” via texts and other social media outlets. Bettencourt said the social media platform is growing because 90 percent of its users contribute content to the community. Blurtopia also encourages feedback, while other popular social media sites don’t, he added. “The reason why people use this so much is because we have really high levels of engagement,” Bettencourt said. “People send something out with the expectation that they’re going to get something back. They’re asking for feedback. They’re asking for people to get involved in the conversation

COURTESY PHOTOS rather than just broadcasting something.” Blurtopia is not only gaining attention from the public, but fellow entrepreneurs. In June, Blurtopia won $5,000 at Interactive Day San Diego during Shark Tank, a local version of ABC’s reality TV series of the same name. In addition, the social media platform was selected from 11 semifinalists and won $10,000 at San Diego Venture Group’s PitchFest 2012. More than 100 applicants applied for the event. “I enjoyed pitching and sharing,” Bettencourt said. “I’m passionate about what we’re doing. It’s just one of those things that’s fun and useful to use. Ultimately, our mission and passion is to inspire these little lightweight conversations on the things that just pop in your mind and you’re curious about. We think we do that as well or better than any other platforms out there.” With Bettencourt living in La Mesa and the other three co-founders hailing from North County, the Blurtopia team continues to
meet in Del Mar to perfect the product. Their new favorite meeting place? The beach. “We’ll just paddle out there, surf and talk through our ideas,” Bettencourt said. “This is like a central surfing area where we actually tackle hard problems.” While Bettencourt believes Blurtopia could become as popular as leading social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and Pinterest, the team is also focused on building a widget so others sites can offer the “Blurtopia experience.” “We do think there’s potential we can get a lightning strike, but we’re not depending on that,” Bettencourt said. “We’re extending what we do outside of just our platform. We’re building a widget system that basically takes the experience of Blurtopia and embeds it elsewhere, so you can embed it in your own site, your own blog, and take advantage of that engagement.” To learn more about Blurtopia or sign up for an account, visit www.blurtopia.com.

Host families needed for Japanese high school football players in late August Former Torrey Pines football coach Ed Burke is searching for families interested in hosting a Japanese high school football player for 17 days in late August. The students represent Ritsumeikan Uji High School located in Kyoto, Japan. They will arrive Aug. 17 and depart Sept. 3. This will be the seventh year that coach Burke and Torrey Pines has played host to the Panther players, but unfortunately it will also be the last year. Burke has decided to officially retire from his involvement in what has been a labor of love each year. So, if you were possibly considering hosting a Japanese player, this is the
year to do it. The Panthers will not be returning to Torrey Pines in 2014. The 2013 team is comprised of 19 boys and one girl trainer. The team will be attending school and practicing at Torrey Pines during their stay, so most of the transportation needs will be similar to that of any student attending the high school. You would be asked to provide lodging, meals, and transportation to and from school during their stay. A daily stipend of $15 to help offset your food and gas expenses will be provided. Each year has been a memorable experience for the families involved, and lifelong relationships are usually formed. It is a unique and rewarding experience that will not be available again. If interested, please contact Ed Burke by phone at (760) 331-7412 or through email at edandloretta@ sbcglobal.net.

CV photographer helps young women through Eating Disorder Project BY KAREN BILLING Carmel Valley photographer Hanna Kluner is using her lens as a way to heal body image issues in young w o m e n with eating disorders. With her ED (Eating Disorder) Hanna Kluner P r o j e c t , Kluner has photographed a group of young women she has worked with as a holistic health professional at the Eating Disorders Center of San Diego and helped them see themselves in a way they have never been able to before. “When we look in a mirror we don’t really see ourselves. Self judgements override the truth,” Kluner
said. “Through the process of being photographed in a very nurturing and caring way, one’s true spirit is felt and then captured as an image. One’s beauty is then reflected back, which can create new ways of seeing oneself, leading to increased confidence and a new sense of self.” The results of Kluner’s photography sessions during the ED Project have been very rewarding to both Kluner and her subjects. “I went into my photo session critiquing every inch of myself from head to toe, wanting to cover-up and hide,” wrote Amber, one of Kluner’s subjects. “I anticipated seeing a monster in the photographs but I soon discovered that the monster was in my mind.” Kluner has been work-
ing as a professional photographer for 28 years and her favorite subjects are people of all ages and stages. She specializes in portraits, but has also done commercial work, food photography, model portfolios and headshots. She said one of her best talents as a photographer is making clients feel calm and comfortable and then capturing an image that reflects back their “essence.” In 2001, Kluner’s husband Kerry died suddenly and to help deal with her grief she started a second career as a yoga therapist. She became certified as a Phoenix Rising yoga therapy practitioner and grief recovery specialist, and opened a yoga studio in her Carmel Valley home. As a yoga therapist,
A photograph in Hanna Kluner’s ED Project of Jordyn. COURTESY PHOTOS some of her clients were teenagers and young women who struggle with eating disorders at the Eating Disorders Center. Kluner had an idea that photography could be instrumental in their healing process.
“The results were marvelous, transformative and empowering,” Kluner said. Going through the process, Kluner asked her subjects to write journals that described their feelings before, during and after the photo shoot. Amber wrote that viewing her photographs caused a lot of giggling and “That’s me?” “I did not anticipate seeing a lovely woman full of softness and light,” wrote Amber, who said that the experience with Kluner enriched her life. Another one of the girls, Jordyn, wrote about how worried she was before the shoot but then said she started to relax when she realized the photo shoot could just be for her. “It wasn’t seeing the
photos that made me feel beautiful, it was this sudden feeling of freedom I got from knowing that I did this for myself and that’s okay!” Jordyn wrote. “I took a whole evening to disappear from the world and be the center of my own attention! That feeling of power, freedom and inner beauty came as a far more precious gift than any of the photos themselves whenever that monster crept in.” Kluner is looking for a grant to be able to publish an ED Project book of the photos and journal entries. She would also like to extend her work as a way to empower breast cancer survivors, seniors and homeless teens. To learn more, visit hannaklunerphotography. com; 858-342-7797.

Local residents candidates for ‘Youth of the Year’ award For the first time, the Boys and Girls Clubs of San Dieguito will honor an “outstanding Youth of the Year, chosen from 10 outstanding individuals that attend the Boys and Girls Clubs of San Dieguito.� The award will be presented at its Caribbean Nights Gala on Saturday, July 20, at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The gala event will fund more positive outreach activities for over 20,000 local youth. Here’s a look at the 10 special candidates for the Youth of the Year award: Kevin Zhang, Allred Branch Carmel Valley A Carmel Del Mar student, Kevin is described as brilliant, kind, gentle, polite and playful. He enjoys math, science and reading — last year he won first prize as an “Incredible Kevin Zhang Reader� in the Carmel Valley Library’s summer reading program, participated in the Greater San Diego Science & Engineering Fair and performed at advanced levels in English and Math STAR tests at school. Kevin is also a swimmer and says he would like to be an architect when he grows up.
“Kevin is a true friend and a caring young boy,� branch staff said. Brandon Rodmel, Harper Branch Solana Beach Brandon takes full advantage of homework time at the Harper Branch but as soon as he’s done, he enjoys playing soccer, basketball and the Minute to Win It game. “Seeing Brandon Brandon without a Rodmel smile on his face is rare and his optimistic attitude rubs off on the other kids,� according to the branch staff. Although he can be shy, coming to the club has allowed him to open up and make friends of all ages. “The positive influence Brandon has on the other children at the club, especially his peers, is obvious to anyone who meets him,� said the staff. Daisy Aguilar, La Colonia Branch Solana Beach Daisy has been a member of the club since the fourth grade. When she reached middle school, the La Colonia branch did not yet have a teen program so she volunteered as a leader in training, assisting with
arts and crafts, games and cleaning up.

As a leader within the club, Daisy helped build a vegetable garden and is a positive role member for younger peers. “Daisy is loved by all the staff and her peers and will be missed when she attends college,� branch staff said.

Tri-City celebrates late physician and Del Mar resident Paul Haydu BY KRISTINA HOUCK A collection of photographs by late physician and Del Mar resident Dr. Paul Haydu was unveiled June 26 at the Center for Wound Care and Hyperbaric Medicine at Tri-City Medical Center. The event marked the fifth anniversary of the center, which was founded by Haydu, husband of Del Mar Deputy Mayor Lee Haydu. “I’m very touched that they are doing this,” said Haydu, who was presented with a plaque honoring her husband’s commitment to the center. “In this way, he can live on.” Haydu, who served as the center’s medical director, died Feb. 26 at the age of 67. Art helped him during his battle with leukemia, and now he will be able to continue to help Tri-City Medical Center patients through his art, Haydu said. “With my husband being sick for so many years, we were in and out of hospitals, we were in and out of seeing doctors, and having artwork to look at was always wonderful,” Haydu said. Haydu practiced emergency medicine in San Diego for 25 years before he switched specialties to wound care and hyperbaric medicine after he was diagnosed

He was an inspiration to all of us.” More than 200 people attended the event to celebrate the legacy of Haydu and view his photos of Del Mar landscapes and wildlife, many taken at the San Dieguito Lagoon near the Haydus’ home. “He touched many people’s hearts,” Haydu said. “Many people loved his smile, and loved the way he was very much there for everybody, whether it was as a physician or as a friend.” The Center for Wound Care & Hyperbaric Medicine is located in North San Diego County, directly across the street from Tri-City Medical Center, at 161 Thunder Dr., Suite 112, in Vista, Calif.

Former Dons baseball star sharpening skills and enjoying life as a pro BY GIDEON RUBIN Daniel Camarena concluded his distinguished Cathedral Catholic baseball career two years ago in the middle of a giant dog pile at Tony Gwynn Stadium as the Dons celebrated a San Diego Section championship. Speculation about his career choices immediately swirled. Would Camarena, a pitcher/outfielder who was almost certain to be selected in the June 2011 amateur draft, honor a commitment to University of San Diego or choose pro ball? Would his arm or his bat be the focus of his future development? With a stroke of the pen, he put an end to all the conjecture. Camarena signed a professional contract with the New York Yankees that included a $335,000 signing bonus a few months after his high school graduation. Camarena, now 20, has emerged as a left-handed pitching prospect in the Yankees organization. “Since I made the decision I’ve been happy with it,” Camarena said in a telephone interview. The former Dons star dropped to the 20th round because, according to published reports, he was thought to be leaning heavily to playing at San Diego. His signing bonus is considered to be in line with a player selected much earlier in the draft. “When it came down to it the Yankees offered me the school part of it,” Camarena said of his decision. “I can go back (to school) whenever I want and develop as a pitcher and a pitcher only instead of a two-way guy at San Diego. I can focus on my craft as a pitcher.” His focus appears to be paying off. Camarena, who is in his first year playing professionally in a full-season league, overcame a shaky start and his since emerged as one of the Charleston (S.C.) RiverDogs hottest pitchers. Over his last seven appearances (including four starts), he’s allowed one run on six hits and two walks with 15 strikeouts over a stretch of 27 innings. The Yankees have taken a conservative approach in Camarena’s development. He didn’t pitch after being drafted in 2011 and split last season between extended spring training games and the short-season Gulf Coast League. He had a 1.02 ERA in GCL, striking out 15 batters and allowing eight hits and no walks in five games with no deci-

sions. Camarena’s success is especially impressive considering he’s competing against mostly older players in the Class-A South Atlantic League. Most players in the league were drafted out of college. And the Yankees have taken notice. “For him even being a 20-year-old he’s one of the more mature kids in terms of baseball knowledge,” RiverDogs pitching coach Danny Borrell said. “It just seems like he’s been around the game. It doesn’t seem like anything on the field really bothers him.” Camarena hit a rough patch in May allowing 13 runs (12 earned) over a stretch of two consecutive bad starts. He’s 1-3 with a 4.87 ERA overall for the season. “For him to make those adjustments as quick as he has is a testament to his ability and his knowledge of the game,” Borrell said. Competing against older players was nothing new to Camarena, who regularly did so playing club ball. He was a key contributor at Cathedral Catholic as a sophomore. But his experience playing against older professional
players was different. “These aren’t just older kids, these are the best of the best,” Camarena said. “It’s intimidating at first, but now I’ve got no fear out there. Everybody’s just another baseball player.” He’s added to his baseball knowledge, learning about the game from coaches and rubbing shoulders with big leaguers on rehab assignments and at extended spring training. Earlier this month Camarena played with a rehabbing Alex Rodriguez in games that were featured on ESPN highlights chronicling the slugging third baseman’s progress. He played with pitchers Joba Chamberlain and David Aardsma and catcher Eduardo Nunez on rehab assignments last year. He got to meet his childhood idol Andy Pettite last summer at extended spring training. “What kind of surprised me is how big he is on faith and how his faith really plays in to why he’s been so fearless for so many years and still is to this day,” Camarena said. “That’s what really stuck with me.” Camarena’s experience wearing a Dons uniform sticks with him too. He cites playing against elite competition at Cathedral Catholic as a key part of his development. Among the players he regularly faced was La Costa Canyon’s Phillip Evans, who was drafted by Mets in the 15th round of the 2011 draft. His best high school memories include pitching a complete game to lead the Dons to a 3-2 win against El Capitan in the 2011 San Diego Section Division III title game. “That goes with me everywhere,” Camarena said. “Every year I go back there to see the school and see our banner from that year. That was a big accomplishment for me.” Camarena acknowledges life in the minors isn’t all fun and games, noting that the long bus rides, bad food, and sweltering heat and humidity are among the challenges he faces daily. “Everybody thinks (professional baseball players) make a lot of money and life’s easy and you’ve got everything you want and the reality it’s a hard grind,” Camarena said. “You’re out here fighting every day; it’s a dog-eat-dog world here in the minor leagues. “It’s always fun but there’s always going to be those long days and especially if you’re in a slump, you’ve got to be ready for anything out here.”

YOUTH continued from page 11 character have made Noah an emergent team leader.” Noah just completed his freshman year at Torrey Pines High where he swam on the varsity team and had a 3.8 GPA. Nico Bruno N i c o Bruno, Polster Branch Carmel Valley Nico has been a part of the organization since he was 7, starting at the Allred Branch and then transferring to Polster. The Carmel Valley Middle School student is described as having an infectious smile and positive attitude, and participates in teen program activities such as dodgeball and Tech Lab. When Nico first attended the club he was having a hard time dealing with bullying. The staff helped build his confidence and encouraged him to share his thoughts and communicate when he was upset. “While at the club he has learned how to respect
himself, staff and peers. He has learned how to interact with children from many different schools and backgrounds,” according to the staff. “He feels that being around difKaleb Conti ferent children has made him realize that everyone is different and special in their own way.” Nico is looking forward to joining the club’s leader in training program, to share what he has learned with younger members. Kaleb Conti, Del Mar Branch Kaleb has been a Boys and Girls Club member in Del Mar for more than six years. At the club he has been an outstanding member, a constant role model and always making new friends. Kaleb works hard during the “power hour,” the homework hour dedicated to school work and then participates in outdoor activities such as basketball, football and baseball. “Although he has seen many changes over the
Matthew ‘Moonie’ Peterson years at the Del Mar branch, his attitude has always been positive and respectful,” staff said. Kaleb is described as an honest, trustworthy kid who takes the time and effort to do the right thing and make the best out of every situation. Matthew “Moonie” Peterson, Youth Arts Academy During the last seven years at the Youth Arts Academy, located in the Polster Branch in Carmel Valley, Matthew has progressed as a
musician, developing a passion for a variety of musical styles. H e plays everything from bluegrass banjo to classical piano to rock and roll guitar and has i m p r e s s e d Meliza others with Espinoza his work as a songwriter. Moonie has also displayed talent as a visual artist in the form of his portfolio of T-shirt and shoe designs. Matthew is described as intelligent, creative and compassionate, and he has interned for YAA during summer camp programs for younger peers. During rock camp, he was a great asset, helping other students in the recording studio. “He shows a great deal of reliability, professionalism and flexibility,” staff said. Meliza Espinoza, La Colonia Branch, Solana Beach Meliza has been a La Colonia branch member since fifth grade and was one of the first teen pro-
gram members. She is a hard worker who loves to help others. She jumps at any opportunity to volunteer at the La Colonia or Harper Branch, offering her time as a leader in training over the summer, mentoring younger members and helping with various special events and projects. “ S h e is very respected and loved by all the staff and teens Nana Ueda and is a positive role model for her sisters,” branch staff said. “English is her second language and a challenge she is overcoming, demonstrating that nothing will get in her way.” Meliza takes full advantage of the help provided in the after-school program and works hard to get her assignments done. She will be the first in her family to graduate high school and plans to go to college. “Her strong will is an inspiration to those around her and proof she will be very successful at anything she focuses her energies
on,” staff said. Nana Ueda, Griset Branch Encinitas In just two years as a member of the Griset Branch, Nana has made a big impression on everyone around her, taking full advantage of every opportunity offered through the club. She has been involved in ceramics, tile and art programs and in the teen leadership group, the Keystone Club, where she has volunteered doing beach clean-ups and collecting canned goods for the homeless. “She is an outstanding leader among her peers and an incredible role model for the younger members of the club,” staff said.

Education Matters/Opinion
Letters to the Editor/Opinion
Education potpourri: Middle school, lawsuit battles, custody, and the sports obsessed BY MARSHA SUTTON After m o v i n g sixth grade into middle school beMarsha Sutton ginning this fall, the Rancho Santa Fe School District will join most other school districts nationally that group sixth-, seventhand eighth-graders together. A 6-8 middle school configuration is now commonly accepted, over the 7-8 combination we see locally or even the 7-9 combination that I grew up with. It makes sense on so many levels. Both students and parents can form deeper attachments to their schools when three years are spent there rather than two. Two years is more like a holding pen than an institution that fosters long-term school spirit and meaningful connections. Curriculum is often written with sixth grade at the middle school level. For example, textbook publishers commonly divide World History into two parts – the first half in sixth grade and the second in seventh. Attending one school or school district for sixth grade and a different one for seventh can mean poor integration of material. It can also mean lack of rigor in sixth grade where history is taught by homeroom teachers rather than middle school teachers who specialize in history. And with the new Common Core State Standards (required by 2014) that organize material in three clusters –for grades K-5, 6-8 and 9-12 – the middle school grade realignment becomes more pressing. Even though she had reservations, Rancho Santa Fe School District superintendent Lindy Delaney said sixth-, seventh- and eighthgraders need to begin working together. “I actually resisted it because I like the idea of sixthgraders remaining young,” she said, “but not at the sake of education. So we made the change.” Delaney said she did a study four years ago, and found no compelling reason to move sixth grade into middle school. “There’s a big difference between a sixth-grader and an eighthgrader,” she said. But positive outcomes have resulted from the decision to create a 6-8 middle school, she said, including a
cohesive body of instructors from the economy of scale and parents excited about the change. “We’ll find ways to take care of our sixth-graders because they’re young,” she said. “Overall it’s good.” So what to do about Del Mar and Solana Beach, which are K-6 districts? San Dieguito Union High School District serves grades 7-12 and needs to find a way to incorporate sixth grade into its embrace. But because this is a major change in the way school districts function and because funding is affected, what’s best for kids is likely to be derailed by inertia and bureaucratic stumbling blocks. The K-6 grade configuration is a relic from the past. But it may take an act of Congress to make what’s right happen. Good for Rancho Santa Fe for leading the way. Personal email accounts for public officials The Del Mar Union School District wrapped up a lawsuit filed by Del Mar resident Michael Robertson who sued the DMUSD in 2011 for what he said were violations of the California Public Records Act. Among other issues, he claimed that emails to and from elected school district trustees doing school district business on their home computers using private email addresses should be released as part of the public record. Sadly, he lost this argument. Although the DMUSD won the bulk of the lawsuit, the school board voted at its April 24 meeting to pay Robertson $42,500 in attorneys’ fees, to settle the case. According to DMUSD superintendent Holly McClurg, the district was asked by the court to go back and search for additional documents that fit the original search request, and the district found more that had not originally been turned over to Robertson. Because of this, the court ruled the district was responsible for partial attorneys’ fees. McClurg said Robertson asked for $155,872, and the amount paid was $42,500. That Robertson lost this case, despite the minimal legal fee paid to his attorney, is remarkable. To allow elected officials to carry out the public’s business behind the improper shield of personal email accounts is a travesty. According to an article in the April 17 issue of Education Week titled “As Com-
munications Technology Advances, Sunshine Laws Lag,” policies can become murky when school board members use personal emails for public business. When a reporter in New Mexico submitted a public records request for emails from five school board members in the Santa Fe district, he found that four were using their personal emails for school district matters. According to the story, “The arduous process of obtaining [the emails] led the board to adopt a policy in February that bans the use of private email accounts for public business.” This is a policy every school district should adopt without hesitation or discussion – and one that we the public should demand. Give parents those tests! Speaking of Robertson lawsuits, his challenge to the San Dieguito Union High School District to release tests and quizzes so parents can review their child’s progress at home is one every parent should get behind. There is no excuse for teachers to withhold these vital pieces of information that track progress and comprehension of the material being taught. Even teachers who allow tests to be reviewed at school clearly present an undue hardship on working parents. Those teachers who restrict access to tests are hiding behind the lame excuse that tests can be copied and distributed if tests go home. This is certainly true. But there’s no problem with sending tests home if teachers are willing to create new tests. The overriding question is whether the system is set up to support teachers who don’t want to do extra work by making new tests, or to support students whose parents want to monitor how their children are doing in school and aid their progress. Children first? Not presently. Let’s see how San Dieguito handles this one. Custody battle spills into taxpayer territory In other lawsuits against the DMUSD, McClurg said the district has spent more than $8,400 on legal fees to two law firms involving a temporary restraining order against the father of students in the district who is embroiled in a custody battle with his ex-wife.
On the case, the DMUSD has paid about $6,330 to date to Stutz Artiano Shinoff & Holtz and $2,100 to Atkinson Andelson Loya Ruud Romo. The restraining order, which court documents state was filed “for fear of a credible threat of violence,” was denied by the court April 30, according to San Diego Superior Court records. The father is now fighting back, asking for sanctions against the district. The threat of Communism In my search in the California Education Code for something related, I came across Section 51530 which I found very interesting: “No teacher giving instruction in any school, or on any property belonging to any agencies included in the public school system, shall advocate or teach communism with the intent to indoctrinate or to inculcate in the mind of any pupil a preference for communism. “In prohibiting the advocacy or teaching of communism with the intent of indoctrinating or inculcating a preference in the mind of any pupil for such doctrine, the Legislature does not intend to prevent the teaching of the facts about communism. Rather, the Legislature intends to prevent the advocacy of, or inculcation and indoctrination into, communism as is hereinafter defined, for the purpose of undermining patriotism for, and the belief in, the government of the United States and of this state. “For the purposes of this section, communism is a political theory that the presently existing form of government of the United States or of this state should be changed, by force, violence, or other unconstitutional means, to a totalitarian dictatorship which is based on the principles of communism as expounded by Marx, Lenin, and Stalin.” Hmmm … wondering if lawmakers still see Communism as the greatest threat to American democracy today. Coach abuse After learning that a San Dieguito Union High School District baseball coach at La Costa Canyon High School was just jailed, with bail set at $105,000, “on suspicion of hitand-run, drug possession and obstructing an officer” (according to a July 6 U-T San Diego article), I was reminded of comments from many parents who have asked me over the years to report on the appalling behavior of athletic coaches.

Found: Correction of parking problem in Del Mar! First, what is the parking problem in Del Mar? Obviously, not being able to find a parking space when you want one! There is no parking problem in Del Mar at 5 a.m. any morning, but there probably is at 5 p.m. every afternoon, especially between 13th and 15th, on weekends and holidays. Next, who is responsible for the parking problem in Del Mar? Obviously, government! When Del Mar was founded, the government that controlled planning was the county, and there were no parking requirements when Stratford Square was built. So that huge, iconic building at the corner of 15th doesn’t provide one parking space! Result – a parking problem today. And that goes for most of the buildings between 13th and 15th. In 1959, Del Mar became a city so that the residents can control their own destiny. So, they adopted parking regulations to require parking spaces be provided for new businesses. Result – a bigger parking problem today! Why? The city government hasn’t enforced its own regulations. Just read the list of properties in Del Mar Mr. Conkwright has continually listed that have been developed without providing the required parking per the city’s own regulations. His list doesn’t even include the two restaurant/bars in Stratford Square that cause most of the parking problem. Next, correction of the parking problem – city government acquiring property between 13th and 15th (the most demand for parking not provided for) and building a parking structure (below and above ground). While the parking problem will never be solved in a successful business area, that would go a long way to correcting errors of the past caused by government! Ralph Peck Del Mar

EDUCATION continued from page 18 To be fair, appalling behavior of athletic coaches is not confined to San Dieguito but is a chronic problem in many school districts with top-notch sports programs. The concern persists in part because children and parents are too intimidated to speak out for fear the students will either not make the team the next year or will be benched all season long, their potential careers as future Michael Jordans or Mia Hamms destroyed forever. Anecdotal stories are appalling. Here’s one about a coach for some girls’ sport (I get them all confused – something with a stick, ball or net) who likes to chant on the bus after a victory, “F--- yeah! F--- yeah! F--yeah!� – with her fist pumping the air. There’s the story of a local coach who, after receiving a second-place trophy, broke it in half and scattered the pieces on the field in front of both teams and the spectators. How gracious is that?
How about the coaches who regularly call players retarded, ass----, or even use the N-word (F-words are too commonly used by coaches to even deserve a mention) to pummel African-American students who might be having an off day. No wonder kids bully other kids, when adults do it to them so viciously. The obsession with sports in high school has reached a fevered pitch, and crazed competitors – parents, coaches and even student-athletes themselves – need reminding that high school is about learning in the classroom, not mental or physical abuse on the field. Send me your athletic tales of woe. Anonymous is fine if you must. Just tell me your sports horror story, the sport and the school. Let’s expose the outrageous, scandalous behavior of many coaches and pressure districts to raise basic standards of decency and respect for student-athletes.

SECTION B
Del Mar racing season off and running July 17 BY KELLEY CARLSON With smokin’ hot events planned and blazing-fast horses shipping in from around the country, Del Mar once again promises to be as “cool as ever” this summer. “Last year was one of our best years ever,” said Chris Bahr, director of events and promotions. “We’d like to keep that momentum going, and we expect it to be great this year, as well.” The seaside oval’s 74th season will commence on July 17 and continue through Sept. 4, with 43 stakes races to be run in 37 racing days. Seven of the races will carry Grade I status, including Del Mar’s signature event, the $1 million TVG Pacific Classic, which will be held Aug. 25. According to Bahr, this year’s Classic could possibly feature a rematch between 2012 winner Dullahan and runner-up Game On Dude, one of the top older horses in the nation. Also on Pacific Classic Day, there will be a long-sleeve T-shirt giveaway, but with a bit of a twist — for the first time, the design will be created by a racing fan. People can submit up to two entries for the “You-Design-the-Tshirt” contest through July 22 at dmtc.com/shirtcontest. A panel of judges will select the top 10 designs and post them on the contest website for fan voting, to be held from July 24 through Aug. 4. The winning image and the designer’s name will be announced Aug. 7. Along with his or her design on the shirt, the top vote-getter will also earn $1,000 and the opportunity for a VIP day at the races.
Del Mar racetrack 2013 season • Dates: July 17-Sept. 4 • Location: Via de la Valle and Jimmy Durante Boulevard • Post time: 2 p.m. Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays; 4 p.m. Fridays; 1 p.m. Pacific Classic Day (Aug. 25), 2 p.m. Labor Day (Sept. 2) • Admission: $6 Stretch Run ($10 Opening Day); $10 Clubhouse ($20 Opening Day) • Parking: $10 • Information: (858) 7551141, (858) 793-5533; www. dmtc.com

Food for thought Besides the design contest, another new event this year is the Grill Fest on Aug. 17, which will showcase the talents of more than 25 seasoned barbecue masters. They will roast seafood, meat, vegetables and desserts, and people can sample five portions for $10. Also of interest for foodies is the return of the Gourmet Food Truck Festival on Aug. 3, with more than 50 trucks from around Southern California offering fare ranging from salads and spicy Cajun cuisine to desserts.

BY KELLEY CARLSON If there’s one sure bet this racing season, it’s that Del Mar’s Opening Day on July 17 will be filled with plenty of parties, haute headgear and handsome horses. Last year’s event brought a record crowd of 47,339, and attendance has increased for eight consecutive years. “We’d like to break another record,” with hopes for about 48,000 people, said Chris Bahr, director of events and promotions. “(Opening Day) keeps getting bigger and bigger,” and not just in terms of the number of people, he added. For instance, Bahr noted that this

year’s Coors Light Opening Day Party in the Seaside Concert area will be expanded. There will be live music from San Diego band Vokab Kompany, and DJs will spin tunes from the Red Bull Tour Bus Deck. In addition, there will be gourmet food trucks and a microbrew beer garden, and shaded seats will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Naturally, there will be opportunities to watch and wager on the races, and chances to win prizes and gift bags. Admission to the party is $30 per person. Another event that is sure to garner a lot of attention is the 19th annual “One See OPENING, Page B24

Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito names DM resident ‘Volunteer of the Year’
La Jolla Cultural Partners
BY KRISTINA HOUCK Del Mar resident Jill Coughlin will be honored as “Volunteer of the Year” by the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito at the inaugural Caribbean Nights Gala on July 20 at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. Coughlin, 72, was selected because she has shared her love of gardening with San Diego County youth for more than two decades. “I am overwhelmed and feel humbled,” Coughlin said. “I’m very honored to be chosen for this because I think that there’s so many people who do a lot.” A Del Mar resident for more than 40 years, Coughlin is one of the founding board members of the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito’s Center for a Healthy Lifestyle, which is dedicated to inspiring children and adults to live healthier lives through cooking and gardening. Opened in April 2009, the Solana Beach-based cottage features a teaching kitchen, classroom space and an interactive garden. The center offers afterschool programming and summer camps for children, as well as cooking, garden-
‘Volunteer of the Year’ Jill Coughlin. PHOTOS/KRISTINA HOUCK ing and arts classes for adults. “It’s very rewarding to work with these young children and to see how happy they can be working outside in the garden,” Coughlin said. “ They get to work in dirt and they get to see how things grow. It’s very satisfying for them to see something from a tiny seed grow into a beautiful vegetable.” Because of the success of the center and the dedication of volunteers like Coughlin, the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito is working on opening a second center called The Sage Garden Project at the Griset Branch in Encinitas.
“We are all fortunate to know Jill and to be able to honor her,” said Barbara Harper, founder and CEO of the center and co-chair of the gala. “She is like no other volunteer. Jill takes hold and owns the job. She gets it done with skill and charm.” In addition to working with the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito, Coughlin is the coordinator of Plant Grow Eat, an educational program she helped launch 24 years ago at the San Diego County Fair. The program provides children with seeds, soil and pots so they can grow plants, which are judged during a school field trip to the fair.
Students in kindergarten through third grade plant radish seeds, and fourth through sixth graders plant lettuce, herb or edible flower baskets. All students receive participation ribbons, and first, second and third place winners are selected. “We were trying to teach children that radishes don’t grow in a plastic bag at a supermarket overnight — to show them they can actually plant the seeds,” said Coughlin, who grows her own fruits and vegetables at home. “They learn responsibility for taking care of their seeds and plants. It gives them some self-satisfaction to see something they accomplished.” About 325,000 children have participated in the program since it launched, Coughlin said. “They love it,” Coughlin said. “It’s very gratifying.” A longtime volunteer in the community, Coughlin is also a board member of the Friends of the Powerhouse, which helps preserve and enhance Del Mar’s Powerhouse Community Center and adjoining public recreational areas. She is a founding member of the Del Mar
The front garden at Jill Coughlin’s house. Garden Club, a member of the Village Garden Club of La Jolla, where she serves on the Schoolyard Gardening Grant Committee, and was named an Honorary Master Gardener in 2012 by the Master Gardeners Association. Coughlin also served on Del Mar’s Parks and Recreation Committee for eight years. “It’s just part of my nature to give back to the community,” Coughlin said. “The community gives so much to us. I feel blessed to be able to live here. It’s a beautiful place to live with wonderful people, and I think it’s important for the residents of the community to be involved.”
The Caribbean Nights Gala will take place from 4-9 p.m. on July 20 at the Infield Pavilion at the Del Mar Fairgrounds. The event will feature horse racing, silent and live auctions, dinner, dancing and entertainment. In addition to Coughlin, the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito will honor an outstanding Youth of the Year. Proceeds benefit programs at the Boys & Girls Clubs of San Dieguito, which serves more than 20,000 local youth.

New Solana Beach eatery keeping it real for diners BY KELLEY CARLSON hen deciding on a concept for their new restaurant in Solana Beach, brothers Mark and Colin Urquhart said they wanted to provide a “real” experience for customers: fresh and authentic fare sourced locally, served with a smile. In January, they opened Real Food & Spirits and welcomed the community to experience a diverse menu in a casual, vintage urban setting. It’s easy for patrons to start salivating the moment they walk through the door — immediately to the right is a glass case with 18 flavors of creamy gelato, from traditional pistachio and panna cotta to the popular sea-salt caramel, served simply or as part of an affogato (drowned in coffee). But then the focus turns to the rest of the restaurant, which is transformed into a 1920s-style cafe through rich mahogany, moulding, a wood floor and double mirrors. The marble-topped main bar is often a social gathering spot for mini parties of friends or a place to make new acquaintances. Families favor sitting at the adjacent pizza bar, where they can watch the pies being tossed, topped and then baked in a woodfired Italian oven. Children are given their own balls of dough to shape, and parents are still able to take advantage of happy hour. From the booths and tables in the main dining area, guests have a view of the entire establishment, thanks to the mirrored wall. Mixed in with the sounds of chatter is music that ranges from contemporary/easy listening to big band. Furthermore, there is a large overhead screen that silently plays

Real Food’s Smoked Mozzarella and Shiitake Mushroom Pizza black-and-white movies, from slapstick comedies to classic films. “It’s like dinner and a show,” Mark Urquhart said. Occasionally, patrons are treated to a realtime sunset, perfectly coordinated with the actual event, filmed from various vantage points around San Diego. The daytime fare is casual and quick, designed for the person on the go. Along with burgers, salads and sandwiches, there’s the Salzini, a cross between a salad, pizza and a panini. It comes in two varieties: Moroccan Shrimp or Chicken Caesar. Dinnertime becomes cozy, as the lights dim and the menu offerings are more sophisticated. A former editor of Bon Appétit, who is a family friend, created the salad recipes.
Guests can dine at tables or along the bar at Real Food & Spirits. Among the salad selections are chilled quinoa, flat-iron steak and the Israeli couscous. There are nearly 20 types of pizzas, in Napolitano and artisan styles; no oil or sugar is added to the hand-tossed thin crusts to help prevent burning. Traditionalists often lean toward the Margherita, with tomato sauce, mozzarella, basil, sea salt and extra virgin olive oil. A recommended pizza/wine pairing is the Italia — topped with asiago, mozzarella, gorgonzola, Parmigiano, thin slices of imported Prosciutto di Parma, house-made fig preserves and a balsamic reduction —

Another specialty is the Real Spirit Burger, composed of 22 percent applewood bacon; it’s ground with Angus beef in-house. There are also rotating seafood specials, featuring items such as clams, mussels, calamari and assorted fish. Real Food & Spirits also caters around the area, toting its 6,000-pound wood-fired oven, and is becoming active in community service, helping Earl Warren Middle School establish a vegetable garden.

Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society celebrates 60 years of civic and cultural advancement, philanthropy and historic education BY DIANE Y. WELCH Sixty years ago, several Solana Beach women banded together with a combined mission to help preserve the aesthetic nature of their coastal community through social and philanthropic ventures. Formally organized in February 1953 as the Solana Beach Women’s Civic Club, these dedicated ladies were the forbearers of what is now the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society (SBCHS). While the name has changed the mission remains the same, and as this year marks a milestone anniversary, looking back is timely. According to San Dieguito Citizen news clippings — preserved by SBCHS archivist Nancy Gottredson — the club’s first officers included Blanche Klintz, Thelma Crawford and Frances Cornwall, with Olive Smith as president. In total, 30 women were charter members. One of those founding members was Wenetta Childs who served as chairman of the library committee. Back then the local library was in the home of Dr. and Mrs. Scialdo. It would be another 48 years until a new permanent library building was opened, aided by the later efforts of the Friends of the Solana Beach Library, founded in 1983 through seed money donated by SBCHS. The newspaper noted that one of the club’s goals was “to help solve the problems confronting Solana Beach as a growing town.” To generate funds for this effort the first event, “The Trash and Treasure Sale,” was organized. It raised $650, proceeds which purchased plantings for the beautification of Highway 101. Other events included bake sales and an official clean-up day. This would mark the beginning of many decades of community members embracing a common goal of civic pride and service. A dedication plaque on the north end of the Coastal Rail Trail retells how Wenetta Childs – the club’s beautification chair and president in 1970 – initiated a campaign to remove billboards from the coastal corridor. Carol Childs, the most recent SBCHS past president who served for three years and was first elected in 2010 (exactly

40 years after her mother), shared a story about Wenetta and those billboards. “The outdoor advertising lobbyists – who opposed her every step of the way – would often set up meetings with the supervisors during the holidays. Their assumption was that ‘the annoying little lady’ from Solana Beach would be absent then, being busy with holiday dinner preparations.” But Wenetta always attended those meetings and would laugh at their obvious surprise when they saw her, said Childs. “She’d say to me, ‘The one thing those lobbyists totally failed to consider was that I hate to cook!’” In 1966 County Supervisor Bill Craven sponsored an ordinance banning the billboards and within five years the last of them was removed. It was then that local Boy Scouts helped plant 450 trees which further beautified the property along Highway 101. When the train tracks were lowered in the 1990s all but 15 of the trees had to be removed.

Please mark your calendars for Sept. 18 at 7 p.m. to attend a very special evening sponsored by the Linked by Lynn support group. The topic will be “Early Detection of Breast Cancer and the Recurrence of Breast Cancer.” The event will be held at St. Therese of Carmel Catholic Church in Carmel Valley and is open to the entire community. So many breast cancers do not show up on a mammogram and are found at a later stage. Breast density not only makes a developing cancer hard to detect, but recently it was determined this dense tissue significantly increases a woman’s risk. Dr. Richard Reitherman, a nationally recognized radiologist, will present a new method of evaluating a woman’s breast cancer risk, as well as outline appropriate surveillance methods, even in young women. Additional detection methods will be discussed by dedicated breast surgeons Dr. Jane Kakkis and Dr. Michele Carpenter. A Q&A session will take place, following the physician presentations. Spread the word to your family, friends, daughters and co-workers about this evening. All are welcome and the event is free. St. Therese of Carmel Catholic Church is located at 4355 Del Mar Trails Rd, San Diego (Carmel Valley), 92130. — Lynn Larkin Flanagan, 16-and-a-half-year breast cancer survivor and relishing every new day!

McAnuff directs UCSD alum’s ‘Sideways’ story for The Playhouse BY DIANA SAENGER When author Rex Pickett was a student at UC San Diego, he worked with La Jolla Playhouse Director Des McAnuff on several projects, but reportedly only dreamed he would one day return with his own play for the director. Pickett’s popular novel, “Sideways,” was made into a film in 2004, directed by Alexander Payne and starring Paul Giamatti and Thomas Haden Church. Nominated for five Oscars, the film earned more than 350 major awards. In the story, Miles, a frustrated novelist, and Jack, an unknown TV actor/ director, go away together through the Santa Ynez Valley wine country. It’s a guys’ getaway before Jack is to be married. What starts out as a fun celebration turns into a midlife crisis, where wine feeds their imagination, freedom and good intentions. As two women enter their journey, good intentions may just fly out the window. McAnuff said he’s excited to direct Pickett’s work at the Playhouse. Pickett graduated Summa Cum

He wrote a Live Action Short that won a 2000 Academy Award, worked with David Fincher on the screenplay for “Alien 3,” and adapted “Sideways” as a play. “I think these charac-
ters have become iconic and the script combines a bunch of areas I’m interest in,” McAnuff said. “It’s a very contemporary story, and the landscape feels very Californian to me.” McAnuff described Miles (Patrick Breen) and Jack (Sean Allan Krill) as archetypal male characters. “You have the intellectual nerd, who is somewhat cerebral but is frozen emotionally. Then you have his friend, who is much more of a jock and impulsive, but with an open heart. In some ways they are polar opposites and opposites attract. You put them on the road in desperate situations where they each have their own demons, and that is the stuff of great comedy. “Miles and Jack, and Maya (Nadia Bowers) and Terra (Zöe Chao) as well, are in crisis we are all likely to face. My mother had a great way of personalizing the (stage) work she sees, including my own, in that the theater prepares us for some of the things we go through in life. I think that’s true.” McAnuff said he sees a connection to classic Amer-
ican literature in “Sideways.” “If you had to describe the quintessential American novel it would be a road novel like way back, like with ‘Huckleberry Finn.’ Rex is kind of plugged into that with a mythic quality. I believe these characters belong on stage. “Rex is a great wordsmith and we’ve expanded on words from the film. However, the play goes back to his book and draws on that language, too. This adventure is also a good excuse to get into some good California wine. “We want writers’ notes, in terms of performances, and Rex is very well informed about wine in particularly in the Santa Ynez Valley,” McAnuff continued. “So we’re going to draw on this information. I’m also working with Shirley Fishman, the Dramaturg and my colleague since 2001. We constantly feed ideas and responses back and forth every day because I can do what I want with the production, but if the play isn’t truly powerful, than the quality of the
Director Emeritus Des McAnuff will direct ‘Sideways,’ by Rex Pickett, in the Playhouse’s Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre. COURTESY PHOTO production suffers. So the writer is our greatest concern, and it’s always a truly collaborative effort.” McAnuff’s intuition about perspective projects have resulted in an impressive resume that includes being artistic director of the Stratford Shakespeare Festival, director of Broadway productions like “Big River,” “The Who’s Tommy,” and “Jersey Boys,” and a legendary body of work at the La Jolla Playhouse, most recently “Yoshimi Battles
the Pink Robots.” His decision to direct “Sideways” seems just as promising. “Since we will all face some of things these characters face, “Sideways” is kind of cathartic, but there’s another dimension in that it’s a very funny evening,” McAnuff said. “The behavior of the characters is outrageous, so it’s a comedy that’s a little self-effacing — a way of adding some humor to distance us from our own problems.”

Jimi Hendrix film to screen at museum’s Shore Thing night BY ASHLEY MACKIN For one night only, July 18, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego will screen the rarely-seen 1972 Jimi Hendrix film, “Rainbow Bridge,” as part of its Shore Thing summer program at 700 Prospect St. in La Jolla. Of the film, La Jollan Melinda Merryweather said, “It’s for people who love surfing, people who love Hawaii, people who love the ’60s and people who love Hendrix.” Merryweather was in the film and helped with the art direction. She called the music scenes, “the best Hendrix concert footage ever filmed” and compared the project to reality television in that none of the dialogue was scripted and people are shown talking about the hot topics of the day — psychedelics, vegetarianism, healing and spaceships. As art director, Merryweather said she wanted to make a film combining the New Age discussions she was witnessing with a surf film set to Jimi Hendrix music. She said Hendrix’s manager loved the idea, and that Hendrix wanted to shoot it in Hawaii. “He loved being in Hawaii and playing there,” Merryweather said, noting that the concert footage included a “color-vibratorysound experiment,” where the notes Hendrix played are represented by different colors. The concert was one of Hendrix’s last in America, and Merryweather said he knew that would be the case. “He just knew he wasn’t going to be in his body anymore, he knew he was leaving,” she said, citing a scene in the movie where Hendrix says as much. Three months after the Hawaii concert (on Sept. 18, 1970), Hendrix died in London. Those interested can view the film for free during the Shore Thing event, said MCASD Chief Curator Kathryn Kanjo. “ ‘Rainbow Bridge’ is a film that occupies a cultural history in our minds. Not many people have seen it because it doesn’t screen regularly, so (Shore Thing) provides a unique opportunity to see it,” Kanjo said, adding the film could not be a better fit for the current exhibition at the museum, “Approximately Infinite Universe,” on display through Sept. 1. “Time and space travel is one of the themes of the exhibition,” she said, “so it’s a nice riff on what we already have happening in

Sublime Tavern opening at Polo Plaza this week, offers gourmet comfort food and craft beer BY KAREN BILLING Foodies, craft beer and wine lovers have a new local spot to frequent with the new Sublime Tavern. The new restaurant from James Limjoco of Sublime Ale House in San Marcos opened Wednesday, July 10, on the top level of the Polo Plaza on Via de la Valle (near the El Camino Real intersection), with a long patio view that looks out onto the San Diego Polo Club fields and stretches to the sea. Limjoco is a self-glossed “flavor hound” who has created a unique menu offering gourmet comfort food with an emphasis on local, fresh, high-quality ingredients. You’ll find dressed-up pizzas, burgers and mac n’ cheeses on the menu along with 55 craft beers on tap and 27 premium wines by the glass. “It’s unpretentious, approachable food brought to another level,” Limjoco said. He said besides being blown away by the view, he chose the intersection of Del Mar, Carmel Valley and Rancho Santa Fe for his latest restaurant venture because it’s a great foodie area. “I think this is an area
Sublime Tavern at the Polo Plaza. where people know their flavors really well,” he said. Limjoco’s love of flavor and food started when he was in business school at Tulane University. He worked everywhere in the restaurant industry from line cook to front of the house. “It was the best, most creative time of my life,” Limjoco said. He set aside his passion for cooking and focused on his business career, to make a living for his wife and children. He worked as an account executive for JP Morgan Chase for 10 years but his mind never strayed far from the kitchen. “I realized after awhile and talking to my wife, it was time to chase my dream,” Limjoco said. In 2007, he started a small pizza place, Sublime Pizza in 4S Ranch, doing farm to table fresh food and serving up his creative macaroni and cheeses, grilled cheese sandwiches and pizzas. Limjoco decided he wanted to expand and include an aspect of San Diego that people
really love: craft beer. He opened Sublime Ale House in San Marcos in 2011. “Since the day we opened we were killing it, even in the middle of a recession,” Limjoco said. In his restaurants, the stress is on his food being fresh, which he said makes for the best flavors. There is no freezer at Sublime, everything “comes out of boxes that we have to shake the dirt off.” They bake their own bread, they grind their own meat. They make their pizza dough from poolish, an Old World, pre-ferment starter method Limjoco picked up from a French baker in San Francisco. It may take a little longer (18 hours) for the dough to be ready but it’s all about the flavor. He insists on importing Hawaiian pink sea salt for his burgers to make them taste just perfect. “Those little differences I think are what really sets us apart,” Limjoco said. On the menu will be items such as local grilled asparagus and crispy prosciutto, a “pretty incredible” charcuterie plate, lobster and andouille sausage gumbo, locally caught yellowtail and tasty salads like watermelon and arugula with heirloom tomatoes. There will be six different kinds of gourmet pizzas and macaroni and cheese. In a favorite, the Ecstasy Mac n’ Cheese, pasta is paired with Gorgonzola béchamel, applewood smoked bacon, wild mushroom, roasted pepper, garlic and thyme. “It comes with a Parmesan shell that you have to crack to get into it and it’s nice and gooey and warm inside,” Limjoco said. While pizza can look like the Get Figgy Wit It Pizza with figs, prosciutto, arugula, Parmesan with a balsamic glaze drizzle, Limjoco said they also do a great simple pepperoni pizza, something that soccer players finishing up practice across the street at the polo fields might come on over and enjoy with their families. Limjoco has always written his own menus but has

Youngest member of the Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary Club selected as ‘Rotarian of the Year’ The Del Mar-Solana Beach Rotary Club (DMSB Rotary) recently recognized Radia Bencheikh as its Rotarian of the Year and presented her with a Paul Harris Fellow award from The Rotary Foundation.

Bencheikh served as the club’s International Service Chair this past year and led or participated in many local service activities. This Rotary year she chairs the club’s Community Service Committee. She said that her best Rotary experience has been “seeing the school DMSB Rotary built in El Salvador and supports each year, and playing with the young children there.” A close second was “working with the at-risk and homeless youth participating in the San Diego Youth Services’ Take Wing transitional living program.” Bencheikh’s many volunteer efforts with Rotary (and the Junior League) are in addition to her full-time

BY DIANA SAENGER Summer is all about fun, and Matthew Wiener, director of “Perfect Wedding” at the North Coast Repertory Theatre (NCRT), said this comedy is definitely about fun. The audience is in for a night of traditional English bedroom farce with slamming doors, miscommunications, confusing identities, who slept with whom, and who loves whom and who doesn’t love them. “It’s silly fun and then … there’s the chambermaid,” Wiener said. Written by Robin Hawdon, the comedy takes place on what is supposed to be the wedding day for two lovebirds. An inner alarm rings when Bill (Christopher M. Williams) wakes up to find a strange woman next to him in the bed. He panics when he realizes his bride, Rachel (Amanda Schaar), could arrive any moment. Tom (Jason Maddy), the best man, quick on his feet, ushers the unknown girl into the bathroom. Quickly Tom decides to introduce her as his girlfriend. What happens when the real girlfriend shows up is just the beginning of an overflowing barrel of laughs. Wiener is not new to directing locally or to comedies. He directed “Shipwrecked!” and “Lend Me a Tenor,” at NCRT, and more than 30 productions for Actors Theatres. This is his 18th season as Producing Artistic Director of Actors Theatre of Phoenix. Weiner said he adores farces, but admits they are not easy to pull off. “It’s hard is to create a farce because it’s a different type of comedy than normal comedy,” he said. “Farce has its own set of rules and a certain wackiness to it. Usually, that comes from an outside pres-

In ‘Perfect Wedding,’ it’s a wedding day, so they need to fix things in an instant or there won’t be a wedding.” In addition to timing, Wiener said the plotting of a farce is extra complex, as well. “There are so many pieces that have to come together … ‘Perfect Wedding’ has many twists and then there’s the mother (Linda Van Zandt). She’s a disruptive force that must be dealt with. In a farce, a group of unusual people is faced with incredible obstacles that they have to solve in a very short time. How they do that becomes highly entertaining.” The skills for farce require precise talents that Wiener said he was delighted to find in his cast, which includes Brenda Hogan (Judy) and Kerry McCue (Julie). There’s a lot of timing to get right, along with a lot of tight chorography and being able to deliver very quick dialogue.

DM Independence Day parade
L
ocal residents gathered July 4 to participate in the annual Independence Day parade at Powerhouse Park in Del Mar. The Del Mar Foundation and the City of Del Mar invited families to dress up and decorate their bikes, scooters, wagons and baby strollers for the parade. A new category this year was the decorated golf cart. The Mayor, City Council members and Uncle Sam led the parade, an annual tradition sponsored by the Del Mar Foundation. Entrants marched from the park, down Coast Boulevard, and returned to the Powerhouse to enjoy fresh lemonade provided by Jake’s Del Mar. Fun and games began at Powerhouse Park immediately following the parade. Children were able to tour a working Del Mar Fire Engine and get an official Del Mar fire hat.

Del Mar Mesa artist Angelika Drake wins awards at San Diego County Fair BY SUZANNE EVANS Artist and digital photographer Angelika Drake was honored at the San Diego County Fair’s Photographic Exhibition artists reception in June, receiving a yellow ribbon and cash award for her photo “Mongolian Sisters.” Drake also received honorable mentions with purple ribbons for three other photographic entries. “The Photographic Exhibition has become quite prestigious; 4,000 photographers apply, but they accept only under 1,000 [entries], and I was fortunate to get seven images in,” Drake said. “The fair’s exhibition gallery can be compared to the museums in Europe. There is not a bigger one in this country.” Drake submitted her entries digitally to the fair officials and received an email of acceptance on May 2. Two weeks later, she delivered her photographs to the Exhibition Hall officials. “I like to enhance photos as a piece of art, as whatever I see [in the scene],” said Drake, who recently published Pow Wows: Amer-

July 11, 2013 with the court and mail a copy to the personal representative appointed by the court within the later of either (1) four months from the date of first issuance of letters to a general personal representative as defined in section 58(b) of the California Probate Code, or (2) 60 days from the date of mailing or personal delivery to you of a notice under section 9052 of the California Probate Code. Other California statutes and legal authority may affect your rights as a creditor. You may want to consult with an attorney knowledgeable in California law. 9. You may examine the file kept by the court.

A Request for Special Notice form is available from the court clerk. 10. Attorney for Petitioner: Melissa H. Lum, Esq. 4275 Executive Square, Suite 1020 La Jolla, CA 92037 (858) 535-1511 DM956.

Grown-up fun The Beer Fests are on tap again for 2013, and they will be bigger than ever. The first “fest� — slated for July 27 — will feature brews from more than 40 San Diego companies, including Ballast Point, Green Flash, The Lost Abbey, Monkey Paw and Stone Brewing. The second “fest,� on Aug. 31, will highlight more than 40 IPA beers. People can buy five 7-ounce samples for $17, or full-sized beers. “These will be the best beer festivals Del Mar has ever held,� Bahr said. “We’ve never had this many really good beers on hand before, and it will be a true beer fan’s delight. All together, we will have more than 100 craft brews available. “It’s not just for people to come to the races and order beers,� he added. “It attracts beer connoisseurs.� And once again, there will be concerts on the Seaside Stage at the west end of the grandstand. A dozen performances are lined up — including two special Latin shows — to be held on Fridays and the occasional Saturday and Sunday throughout the season. Admission is free with paid racetrack admission, but it’s $20 for guests who arrive after the final race of the day. Family festivities Del Mar isn’t just for grown-ups — Family Week-
ends are back. Among the free offerings for children on Saturdays and Sundays are games and an inflatable obstacle course, pony rides, magic shows, stilt walkers, face painters, a caricature artist and an opportunity to meet the Del Mar mascot, “Pony Boy.� And July 21 will be a “super-sized� Family Day with four times the regular activities, a Webkinz plush horse giveaway and Jockey Photo Day. Other returning favorites that are fun for all ages include Donuts at Del Mar, where fans can enjoy free doughnuts, orange juice and coffee while watching workouts and listening to question-and-answer sessions with jockeys and track announcer Trevor Denman, from 8 to 10 a.m. July 20 and Aug. 24; and the Wienerschnitzel Wiener Nationals-San Diego Finals on Sept. 1, featuring the fastest dachshunds in the county. Ready to run Racing fans can catch workouts on other mornings besides Donuts at Del Mar. From 7 to 9:30 a.m. Saturdays and Sundays, during Daybreak at Del Mar, they can observe the thoroughbreds exercising while eating an a la carte breakfast and listening to industry tips from Jeff Bloom, a former jockey who is now an owner and stable manager. Serious horse fans who want to become more involved in the sport are welcome to participate in the Paddock Sale after the races on July 21. Barretts Equine Limited will conduct the auction, and is expected to offer about 40 thoroughbreds of all ages that are “race-ready.� The equines

and Only Truly Fabulous Hats Contest,� which typically draws an array of entries that range from fine and frilly to downright silly. This year’s categories are Most Glamorous; Best Racing Theme; Funniest/Most Outrageous; Best Flowers/All Others; and Best Fascinator. Because the fascinator category was so well-received last year, it has been expanded to include secondand third-place prizes this season. “Each year, more women and men wear hats to make a fashion statement — and not just on Opening Day,� said Julie Sarno in a news release, who has been involved with the contest since its beginning and again will serve as its coordinator. “The Opening Day hats are the most fun and over the top, but any day of

will be from out of state and eligible to run in Del Mar’s “Ship and Winâ€? program, which pays a $1,000 starter bonus, plus an additional 33 1/3 percent payment on top of purse monies earned in their initial start. Two of the 25 horses sold last year — Nechez Dawn and I Dazzle — went on to become stakes winners in California. Nechez Dawn won the Daisycutter Handicap at Del Mar within weeks of her purchase, and I Dazzle was victorious in the American Beauty Stakes at Santa Anita Park in Arcadia in April. A new owners seminar is planned from 9 to 11 a.m. July 21 in the track’s Veranda CafĂŠ overlooking the paddock; reservations can be made at (626) 574-6620 or www.toconline.com. Prospective buyers are also encouraged to research ownership through The Jockey Club’s website at www.ownerview.com/. “We know of at least three brand-new owners who bought in for the first time at last year’s sale,â€? Barretts General Manager Kim Lloyd said in a news release. “We think others might have come on board, too. New owners are the real key for us with this sale. If we can develop new owners, we’ll have a real impact over the years.â€? Other happenings Additional events this season include the Miss Cougar Del Mar contest on July 26, giveaways (a full-size cooler on Aug. 10 and a free cap for Diamond Club members on Labor Day, Sept. 2), and Closing Day (Sept. 4) festivities. People who are looking for helpful hints and tips on betting may
attend the free Newcomers’ Seminars and Weekend Handicapping Seminars. Tips for saving money Those who want to experience Del Mar on a budget can take advantage of “Free & Easy Wednesdays.� It’s exclusively for Diamond Club members, who will receive free admission, a free seat in the Stretch Run area, a free program, 50 percent off hot dogs, and a 50 percent discount on 16-ounce domestic draft beers and/or soft drinks every Wednesday except Opening Day. Those who aren’t club members can sign up for the free membership outside the Stretch Run gates, and can fill out forms in advance at dmtc.com/season/diamondclub.php. Diamond Club members can use their cards for 50 percent off on admission on other days, as well. On Thursdays, special discounts are available for seniors age 62 and older. Finally, to avoid heavy traffic and parking fees, racegoers have the option of buying an $11 “Pony Express� ticket. It provides round-trip fare on the Coaster, Sprinter and Breeze; Stretch Run admission; and a free shuttle between the Solana Beach North County Transit District station and the racetrack. “Pony Express� tickets are available at all NCTD stations; select the “Current Promotions� button on a ticket vending machine. They can also be bought at GoNCTD.com/ Races2013. “Pony Express� riders then pick up their admission tickets at the racetrack’s Diamond Club booth near the Stretch Run gate.
the race meet, one sees men wearing fedoras and women wearing fascinators and hats to complete their outfits.� She noted in an interview that hot pink again seems to be a hot color trend, along with black and white. Those who desire to enter the contest can sign up in the Plaza de Mexico between 11:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. In all categories, first place will win $300, while second place will receive $200 and third place will get $100. The Bing Crosby Grand Prize winner will receive two
round-trip American Airlines flight vouchers good for any location in the contiguous United States, along with a $500 gift basket from Studio Savvy. Other activities planned for Opening Day include the Hippity-Hop Derby, in which Camp Del Mar participants bounce on large balls in a race down the stretch; and a special guest’s rendition of “Where the Turf Meets the Surf� as part of Sing With Bing. Also, the track is expecting a lot of celebrities, including a number of sports personalities, Bahr said. Some of them will be in the winner’s circle for trophy presentations after the races. The day’s featured race will be the $100,000 Oceanside Stakes for 3-year-olds, run at 1 mile on the turf. It’s a key prep for the $300,000 Grade II Del Mar Derby, set for Sept. 1.

TAVERN continued from page B10 brought on Executive Chef Josh Richardi, the former sous chef at Roppangi Restaurant and Sushi Bar. Together they have collaborated on some new comfort classics and with Richardi in the kitchen, Limjoco can focus more on the front of the house, which is where he most loves to be. Of the 55 craft beers on tap, some of the top breweries in San Diego have dreamed up some specialty brews exclusively for Sublime. Mother Earth has partnered with Sublime on a Belgian IPA called Alpha Ferrier; Rip Current has created a “malty, sweet and carmelly” Scotch 80 and the collaboration with Belching Beaver has produced Racetrack Red, a Belgian hoppy amber. All will have their debuts with the opening this week. New to this Sublime location, Limjoco is also introducing a wine element,
July 11, 2013 having splurged on a wine preservation unit behind the bar that will allow him to offer glasses from highend bottles. Limjoco hand-selected the wine list. “There’s not even a mediocre wine on that list, I think they’re all outstanding,” he said. Tavern will have names such as Gaja, Quintessa, Silver Oak, Louis Roderer Cristal, Opus One and Cakebread at prices that he promises aren’t seen around the area. He guests will have the opportunity to try wines they might have never had a chance to before, like a Nickel & Nickel reserve cab by the glass. He already has several wine dinners set up and plans to offer one every couple of weeks. Limjoco recently sold the small Sublime Pizza in 4S Ranch and is now focused on his two bigger restaurants — the Via de la Valle location being his biggest at 7,000 square feet. Great care was taken in the look of his
restaurant —there’s lots of wood in the custom-made tables, the round log cutouts in the wall and portions of the wall are actually pieces of kegs that in a former life aged the cult beer Black Tuesday. Chasing the dream has been fulfilling for Limjoco and his pride in his product is unmistakable. “My favorite part about owning a restaurant is when I walk around and see people enjoying a meal with their friends. Maybe someone is visiting from out of town and they’re showing them their spot or they’re celebrating a birthday…they chose my place,” Limjoco said. “It’s an honor and it’s really cool. I tell my servers, they chose us, let’s show them a great time.” For now, Sublime Tavern will be open for dinner from 4-11 p.m. all week. Eventually they hope to add weekend lunches.

Bacon craze sizzles, resulting in some unlikely dishes The Kitchen Shrink
BY CATHARINE KAUFMAN Bringing home the bacon It’s Chanel No. 5 to the culinary world; fried bacon perfumes a room like no other food. Traditional and trendy at the same time, bacon continues to pop up in foods you’d never imagine having even a nodding acquaintance with it! Think Ben and Jerry’s Bacon Bacon ice cream, baconnaise and cupcakes. These days, even if you’re vegan, cholesterolconscious or kosher, you can still enjoy the essence of beloved bacon in the guise of alternatives. Let’s start with the genuine article
The ancient Chinese lay a solid claim to the creation of bacon as they started salting pork bellies around 1500 B.C. Today in the United States, 2 billion pounds of bacon are produced yearly, which translates to 43 billion slices, and nearly 18 pounds per person. Yorkshire and Tamworth pigs are specifically bred for making bacon, with different cuts used for preparing assorted styles of bacon. The popular “streaky� American-style bacon comes from the pork belly. The side cut is a meatier, less fat version than the belly cut, while back cuts include the fatback (almost a pure slab of fat), and the lean rib-eye loin, known as Canadian-style or back bacon that has a ham-like taste and texture. This is frequently coated with fine cornmeal called peameal bacon. Cottage bacon is lean shoulder cut oval slices, while jowl bacon is smoked pork cheeks. The continental pancetta is a pungentflavored Italian version of American “streaky.� Makin’ bacon Bacon is typically cured with brine or a dry packing mixture, giving it a mother lode of sodium, nitrates and
nitrites with added flavors of hickory, maple, applewood, honey or mesquite. Baconphiles defend the food on the positive nutritional aspects being a highprotein source rife with stress-busting B vitamins, and immune-boosting zinc and selenium, as they sweep the high saturated fats, sodium and additives (which also have a reputation for triggering migraines) under the dinner table. Die-hard bacon traditionalists can now enjoy organic, low-sodium uncured varieties, free of hormones, antibiotics, nitrates and nitrates, both American- and Canadian-style. The bacon craze has swelled into a kitschy cottage industry of products from bacon-infused vodka and bourbon and bacon salt
to bacon peanut brittle and smoky bacon chocolate bars. It is a condiment, a side dish, a snack, an accessory, a topping (salads, sandwiches, soups and pizzas), a confection (bacon jelly beans, lollipops, gumballs), and a dessert. Bacon is wrapped around meatloaf, hot dogs, scallops, burgers, hardboiled eggs, pickles, asparagus and more bacon. It is incorporated into sweet and savory sauces, stews and jams, dipped in chocolate, baked in muffins, cookies, pies and cakes, and used to flavor popcorn, potato chips, roasted nuts and other assorted munchies. If any of these get caught in your teeth, you can always use bacon-scented dental floss or bacon toothpaste to do the trick.
Mark your calendar Bacon Day is celebrated the Saturday before Labor Day (Aug. 31 this year), celebrity chef Bobby Flay has endorsed a “Bacon of the Month Club,� while food gurus have dubbed bacon the new “it� dessert ingredient. Now for those imposter bacon foods to satisfy the cravings of those with dietary, health or religious restrictions, there’s low-fat turkey or chicken bacon made from chopped and reformed fowl, with goat, lamb or beef versions along with “macon,� a United Kingdom creation prepared from mutton. Finally, for vegans and vegetarians, there’s bacon bits or strips (aka veggie bacon, “vacon� or “fakon�) made from fermented soy. This protein-packed, highfiber, low-fat and cholesterolfree bacon alternative (with only 38 calories a slice), can be easily prepared at home by marinating and seasoning strips of tempeh and frying to a crunchy crisp. Italian-Style Cobb Salad (Serves 4) 1 head romaine lettuce (cut into strips) 1 head watercress, torn
into bite-size pieces 1/4 pound crisp, grilled pancetta, crumbled 1 pound cooked turkey or chicken breast, cubed 1 vine ripened tomato, diced 1 ripe but firm avocado, diced 3 hard-boiled eggs, whites and yolks separated, diced 1/4 pound goat cheese, crumbled 1/2 red onion, diced 1/4 cup vinaigrette dressing (recipe below) Ingredients for the dressing: 1/4 cup vinegar (champagne, red wine or balsamic) 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil 2 teaspoons spicy mustard Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste Method: Blend the vinegar with the mustard. Whisk in the oil and season to taste with the salt and pepper. Toss with the lettuce and goat cheese. Place the mixture on a large platter. Decorate with the remaining ingredients making mounds or strips across the greens. To chew the fat, e-mail kitchenshrink@san.rr.com

SOCIETY continued from page B5 While most were “adopted,” 10 of them were carefully boxed for replanting and now take pride of place along the rail trail. The commemorative plaque was installed and dedicated in 2002, and funded by SBCHS. After Solana Beach’s incorporation in 1986, the city council asked the club to become custodians of the city’s history. In 1989 its Certificate of Incorporation was officially modified to create the Solana Beach Civic and Historical Society and men were welcomed into the organization. Today the society’s focus
is still on civic and cultural advancement, and philanthropy, with the added element of educating others about Solana Beach’s local history through programs at the Heritage Museum located in La Colonia Park. Sponsored accomplishments include the continued beautification of the city through plantings and public art; the creation of the Alliance of Education to connect the society with local schools; the renovation of the Fletcher Cove Community Center; and the donation of funding to many local nonprofit organizations. On June 7 a special celebration at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club was held to mark the SBCHS 60th anni-
ceed,” said Sampson. Headquartered in Vista, NSDCAR serves the marketing, educational, and other profession- Erik Sampson, al needs VP, NSDCAR of REALCommercial T O R S ® and other Division. real estate professionals throughout North San Diego County.

A check for $10,000 was presented to the San Elijo Lagoon Conservancy to be used for the Gateway Campaign and new officers were installed with Mayor Mike Nichols officiating. Virginia Garland, Solana Beach’s very own opera singer, was sworn in as the new president.

“Cade” is the Pet of the Week at your Rancho Coastal Humane Society in Encinitas. He’s a 3-year-old, 11-pound, Spaniel/Terrier mix. If you’re looking for a real “family dog,” this could be the dog you’re looking for. Cade is a go-anywhere, do-anything kind of guy. Even though he’s 3 years old, Cade still has a lot of puppy playfulness. He’s sharing a kennel with another dog and you can see that he enjoys having a buddy. Cade’s previous family told RCHS that they couldn’t afford to keep him. The $145 adoption fee for Cade includes his medical exam, up-to-date vaccinations, neuter, and microchip identification. Adopt Cade or sponsor him until his new family takes him home. Call 760-753-6413; log on to SDpets.org; or visit
Rancho Coastal Humane Society at 389 Requeza Street in Encinitas. Kennels and cattery are open Wednesday through Monday, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
